Gore has taken it up to a new level. Adam curry, John C
Devorah.
And Sunday October 14 2018. This is your award winning keep on
nation media assassination episode 1077. This is no agenda,
parsing the prophets and broadcasting live from the
capital of the drone Star state here in downtown Austin Tejas in
the Claudio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I sit here a rating the
Zephyr I'm Jesse Devorah Buzzkill.
Yeah, we're just, we're just never gonna have that hat. I
just heard it. No, no, no, no, it can't be it is only 11 After
the hour. It's not
early. I'm hearing it honkin and I think it's gonna be I mean, I
can hear the honk from Emeryville, just corn they got
on these things. But the thing is, is that we never mentioned
that about four shows ago this effort came by three hours late
after the show is over.
Yeah, it was, you know, I can't believe I didn't call the Austin
statesman to alert them to this fact shut it right up. So
there's three or four big news deconstruction items. We have
the cash actually have the correct correct pronunciation.
Khashoggi situation, formerly known as Khashoggi
before you go on with that Amy Goodman got so confused with the
pronunciation she would pronounce it two ways. And she
didn't say Khashoggi is the American pronunciation. Ah,
well, aren't good still. Okay. And I like Khashoggi better.
I like it too. But our dude named Muhammad did send me a
note and said, the official pronunciation is Khashoggi
who was too weak. It's
impossible.
It's okay. I just want to make sure everyone knows that you're
sneezing had to say good because it's tight. Every time you say
it as a
micro aggression, man. So do you have a clip of her getting
confused? You have a clip of her talking about Thank
you have a bunch of clips about Khashoggi and her talk and given
some, some speelde No, I don't have I didn't make this specific
clip.
I mean, I wouldn't mind diving right into, we'll just call him
Khashoggi for, for our show, just to make it easy. Because
this is very interesting in so many different ways. And there's
so much obvious bull crap out there, for example, that they
unlocked. This guy's Apple Watch with his fingerprint. You don't
need a fingerprint.
Before we go into that, dad, his finger right there. Yeah, but
even if you don't need that to unlock the Apple phone, you just
don't know. They could have
chopped his finger off anyway, just for the fun of it. Now,
yeah, I do have one look, the longest clip I have is actually
is I thought was a very good CNN wrap of the Khashoggi story
without all the details you're going to bring in and I'm going
to bring in, but it's just the end, I thought it was an example
of a good example of CNN actually doing their job with
Nick Robertson, who's a pretty good correspondent, if you find
these wolves topped with razor wire, the epicenter of a
spiraling crisis that threatens to engulf this whole region, one
that has reverberated far beyond turkey. A source with knowledge
of the investigation tells CNN that Turkish authorities have
shared some of their evidence of Jamal Khashoggi murder inside
the consulate here with their Western intelligence allies. And
some of those partners have been deeply, deeply shocked with the
brutality of what they learned. The evidence according to the
CNN Sourcefire Western intelligence includes audio
visual information from inside the building, revealing an
assault, a struggle on the moment Khashoggi is life ends on
Friday, what appears to have been a Saudi delegation, I
should quickly enter the building, Mission unknown.
Prince Howard al Faisal, one of the kingdom's most trusted
figures, also visiting Turkey in an effort to tamp down tensions
According to Reuters, but each new detail makes the task of
containing those tensions and the fallout across the Middle
East more difficult. Among the many questions still answered,
what happened to this fan scene leaving the Saudi consulate soon
after Turkish officials say Khashoggi was killed? Saudi
Arabia continues to deny any involvement in Khashoggi is
disappearance. its regional allies are stepping up their
support. The United Arab Emirates Minister for Foreign
Affairs Anwar Gargash, tweeting the repercussions of political
targeting of Saudi Arabia will be dire on those who inflame it.
Bahrain's Foreign Minister Khalid bin Achmed, complaining
Saudi Arabia is the target, not the search for truth. But at the
center of it all that consulate. It was last Saturday that the
consulate in the media sheepishly opening cupboards and
doors. But Turkish officials are still waiting for their
investigators to be given access. And that is why the fate
of Jamal Khashoggi is both a mystery and an international
crisis.
I really liked that clip for a couple of reasons, though. No,
seriously, the not. CNN has been using Richard angles a lot,
which always alerts me to a lot of bull crap coming your way?
No, actually, it's MSNBC that Oh, I'm
sorry, because I thought you said it was CNN.
No, it's This is CNN. CNN doesn't use drip.
Oh, it's MSNBC. I'm sorry. You're right. You're right. Um,
so what was interesting about this clip is when he got to the
true importance of the story, which is the political
ramifications with Saudi Arabia, the audio went completely dead.
There was no background noise. It was a little Neo doll kind of
flat, and then straight back to a lot of noise and information
about how the guy got killed. Listen, I just want to I have
some cramps. Let me just bring that in here because that was
that was quite a
defined these wounds top with this part of the repercussions
political targeting of Saudi Arabia,
which has gone completely dead. He's just talking about the
repercussions
on those who inflame it. Bahrain's Foreign Minister
Khalid bin, still complaining Saudi Arabia is the target, not
the search for truth.
And now back to your brain of it all. We say at the center at the
center of it all. It was last Saturday that there was like,
how did it happen? And of course, everyone's focused on
how did it happen? Apple Watch chopped in the bits. It's really
unimportant. It's really just another dead MacGuffin. It's
just another dead guy. You know, it's like there's lots of dead
people. But I mean, it will just I know it's just not your the
AMI good messed up. It's not fair to say, but
the political ramifications is what is incredibly interesting.
And I just want to play this clip, because it shows that we
are from the future. This is Tim Kaine. He's still a senators and
he Tim Kaine.
Yeah, I believe so. Yeah. The
former presidential running mate for Hillary Clinton. NPR calls
him in. And this is where's this had
to do with anything? Well, I
have some questions that might be answered yes or no. And the
first has to be he was he intelligence reports. Are you
convinced the Saudi government or its operatives assassinated
Jamal Khashoggi
not yet completely convinced, but there's enough corroboration
out there that I think the burden of proof is on the Saudis
to prove that they did not have anything to do either with
harming kidnapping or killing Jamal Khashoggi, the burden of
proof is on them.
Now. That's funny by itself. The burden of proof is on them. But
but listen to what he comes up with. And the reason for him on
NPR. I like that you question that.
If that certified, I'll throw out some possibility. Should the
US close that big embassy in Riyadh? Should they close that
big building on Virginia Avenue? That's the Saudi Embassy should?
Should it break off relations
with willscot? First, I mean, this is a horrific, alleged
crime against a journalist. Our president attacks journalists
and enemies of the people but we need to stand
up nice nicely now. Nicely done. Come on, give him some props for
bringing Trump in to be maybe partially responsible for, you
know, some embassy workers to want to kill the press. It was
it was good. It was good. It was good.
Let's get the net. It was good
for journalists everywhere. Jamal Khashoggi is a Virginia
resident. And you're right. There are a number of things
that we could do. I'll tell you what I focus on the first thing
the Senate did this week. The members of the Foreign Relations
Committee on which I said is we sent a letter to the president
to trigger his review of whether this treatment of Jamal
Khashoggi violates something called the Magnitsky Act. God,
did I not call it
I said, you watch and actually did I was I was actually dubious
about it
personally. Now, listen, now, Tim Kaine gives us a little
more,
you know, to be fair, this guy's throw this shit out there old
Magnitsky Act well, and it never gets explained and people go
with it. Magnitsky has, this is like the Logan Act, ah, he
violated the Logan Act. Tim Kaine, knows what these people
are talking about is completely out of range. Tim, go on.
Tim Kaine is actually going to explain what this means.
Magnitsky Act allows the White House to put sanctions on
individuals, if they engage in human rights abuses when we send
a letter at triggers 120 Day investigative period, where the
administration has to report back to Congress as to whether
there have been a human rights violation and what they're gonna
do about it. That's number one. Number two.
So, contrary to what normally happens, Tim Kaine gave us the
background doesn't matter. There's been used on the
Russians. It was created for the Russians. But he gave us a
pretty good explanation. Yeah, including the 120 day waiting
period and what it triggers. And this is a political move that's
being made. And there's two other moves that are being made.
We have been
in the Senate increasingly concerned about Saudi Arabia,
and working to potentially cease arms sales. So than we had a
vote a few months ago, were 47 of us, voted to block arms sales
to Saudi Arabia, because of their mishandling of the civil
war in Yemen and the massive humanitarian crisis there. So a
second thing that you are likely to see, I think senators Paul
and Murphy have talked about this is an additional action to
block arm sales. President Trump reacted very negatively that the
other day, but you'll see that and then the final one is us
support for the for the Saudis and the UAE on the war in Yemen,
I think there's increasingly a desire to just cease us support
for the war in Yemen, which is a massive humanitarian disaster.
So I think before we get into embassy diplomatic relations,
we've had a long standing relationship with Saudi Arabia.
But I think there are there, Magnitsky arms sales and support
for the war in Yemen, are probably the three areas where
Congress is now most focused. And it is a dramatic change in
attitude about Saudi Arabia as a result of this action.
So I think it's just went so smoothly and so quickly, the
guy's dead within a week, we're sending the letter with them to
evoke the Magnitsky Act.
within 24 hours, they had little signs post. In fact, I think
there was a screw up because it said free could. Khashoggi and
then these people were outside the embassy. Were holding these
these printed pre printed signs with
oh, it's pre printed. Oh, excellent. Yeah, it
was all pre problems. A bunch of them. Like, you know, I had in
the newsletters a picture in the newsletter of these guys holding
these signs. Oh, that's right. was like that was within like
minutes. Yeah, this whole thing, sinks,
sinks now. Something I don't know if it's in one of your
clips. But the complete, unbelievable coincidence of the
pastor being released at the same time this takes place,
which is just a coincidence, everybody i Please want you to
remember it is just a coincidence.
That can't be a coincidence. No, it
sounds like sounds like a deal. It sounds like a deal.
Coincidence. So there's a lot of reasons to not like Saudi
Arabia. We understand what Tim Kaine a Democrat, but he has
even mentioned Rand Paul's. And I think that there's plenty and
I agree, you know, we should have this Yemen thing is Yeah, I
understand Iran bad. The Saudis are oil. But Trump is angry with
the Saudis about the price of oil. There's plenty of reason to
set them down, put them in their place a little bit.
But we don't but but what I like about Trump being so pragmatic,
is you could do that, but no, let's go blow this $110 billion
arms deal, right? Yeah, well, I still think this is actually the
deal the deal oddly charming.
If the deal is not even I think deals not even completely done.
I think it's still in the works. And it's not
like that's why he doesn't want it Yeah. That's kind of At
Issue. Well, it's
the it's the sales guys dilemma in this case is like, Oh crap, I
really do want to screw those guys over. But I you know, I
want to make a big announcement about the 100 and 10 billion,
just back to the pastor for a moment. Just a very short clip.
This was on Fox News. There was some CIA shill, obviously, you
know, talking about the pastor and you know, just how we got
them released. But this is not the listen to this. And you'll
see the slip up the President
was the timing of this air to one's releasing a pastor
Brunson? The president said the timing is totally coincidence.
This has nothing to do with the murder alleged murder of
Khashoggi of the US journalist. Khashoggi. What do you say to
that? Well, it's a couple of things. First, there's still a
lot of work yet to be done. There are other Americans,
including an NSA, ethnic Turkish officer, or employ scientist?
Who's in Turkey?
Say, scientists? Come on in. It's a
great catch.
You look at you look at this past days. Of course, spies are
the least likely people that don't all look like James Bond.
And not saying that the pastor was one. But yet guys like that,
who are patriotic and want to help their country and yeah,
I'll pass on some info on the sign on and you know, it's easy
to get seduced into that problem, right.
The problem I see with it. And I think it's a real huge problem
for the intelligence community is what happened to all these
Chinese that they have people and I don't want to point the
finger at anybody like Brennan. They have people in that agency
that apparently are, are turning over our spies to the to the to
the alien. Really?
You think that's what happened with our spies in China? Oh,
absolutely.
Now they finally pinned it on a guy that was working at the
agency, a Chinese guy who then took off and then left the
agency and ran ran off to China. They kind of blame him for the
whole thing that because he got access to the database. But it's
still like, you know that things that give you a leaky boat
doesn't really you can't, and ended and a new I don't want to
get off track but I'll just say this, the modernization process,
the doing it, the CIA does one thing most importantly, It
centralizes all the information into a giant digital database,
which makes it very easy to out these guys, the olden days and
the old timers who will say it was still
stuck in a bottom drawer or you had a dossier get file
silos like I had mice I have I'm like a top agent
compartmentalization. I think it's called I have my guys in
China I get three guys in China maybe this other guy's got two
other guys in China. But this they're not hooked there's no
database with all their names in one box with they're trying to
eliminate
which has Salesforce on top of it for some reason. I don't know
why the CIA did that. But
they love Salesforce.
So of course Trump is being pressured now. Yeah. Oh, don't
send Mnuchin off to the to the to the was it like the investor
conference? Christine Lagarde is also very concerned. But she she
said I'm gonna go to the investor conference anyway. So
there's gonna be a lot of pressure on the prices going.
Yes, Fifi. Lagarde
was misled. She was reading something it says all of the
only people going in it. This is one of those. I think what
she's you see that the media was on? CNN has pulled out Fox News
is everyone's pulling out.
No, no, no. Fox is go. I thought that they were pulling out too.
No, that was the big insult. Oh, is Fox as
well as you know, is just for an audience of one. Fox News
audience of one. All right. So what it's what you got what you
got from? Well,
I only have humorous stuff. Yeah, that's good. I have
one kicker to wrap this up. But if you got some,
no, you'd keep your crew you keep your wrap. Let's go with
it.
We're still on Khashoggi, though, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, let's start with the democracy. Now. One This is uh,
this is in the middle of her report, and we can get kind of
get a feeling for where she's headed. It turns out that Amy
Goodman has a lot of opinions about this. And so whatever it
is, mostly, her talking is quite interesting. And there's some
good stuff in there, the full audio
and video recordings have not yet been released. One person
with knowledge of the audio recording, told The Washington
Post, quote, you can hear His voice and the voices of men
speaking Arabic. You can hear how he was interrogated,
tortured, and then murdered. Unquote. Ashok, she had written
critically about the Saudi government and the Saudi Crown
Prince MBS Mohammed bin Salman. He fled Saudi Arabia last year
and had been living in Virginia. The Washington Post is also
reported that based on US intelligence intercepts the quit
just like that he was living in Virginia Langley.
Come on Crown Prince had directly ordered an operation to
lure Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia. The Turkish government
has accused Saudi Arabia of flying two planes into Turkey,
carrying 15 Men assassination squad to carry out the murder.
One of the Saudi men was reportedly a forensic expert
known for pioneering rapid and mobile autopsies. Turkish
officials say the menus to bone saw to dismember Khashoggi whose
body before smuggling body parts out of the consulate bones I
love the bones
Yeah, that's they've kind of inserted that
bone
but once it sounds dramatic Now what was the point of the
dimensioning or even discussing a guy who's an autopsy expert I
put this in the newsletter like what so what the ad
just to give it credence and make it sound official need 15
guys to do an assassination what's the point of all these
people just so they can carry the body parts it only may be
five Well I
think the main whether 15 guys walked in or not or whatever
happened they arrived on private jet it just makes for a great
story to distract everyone from what's really going on with
this. I mean that Judy, by the way for those who don't know
democracy now is aired on public television. Correct?
Yeah, it's Yeah, and free mostly free speech TV. Okay.
Because some people even saying what is democracy now? Because I
don't think anyone watches it or use report. The only one keeping
that thing alive is War and Peace
Report with Amy Goodman. Yeah, gotcha. Okay, so she gets this
guy on she gets ROH Khanna the guy who's like a local
representative for the Democrats, Silicon Valley guy.
And he looks like I don't know if you saw that that Indiana
Jones thing where that guy used to grab the heart you put, you
know, some horrible looking at big eyes, he grabbed your heart
and pull it out and hold it up for the crowd. Row kind of just
like that guy came up. Sorry. Wait, wait, stop, stop. Now
she's going to add this is a question she had instead of
asking. She's going to ask ro Khanna question. But the
question is, like 10 times longer than any possible answer
because she gets she goes, she goes a shaggy dog story and gets
very sidetracked. But I think the information she provides is
kind of interesting for us to analyze before you get your rap.
Can you talk about exactly what the US relationship is with
Saudi Arabia. Also, of course, it implicates Jared Kushner, the
Senior Adviser of President Trump's son in law very close to
Mohammed bin Salman. And this information Washington Post put
out about they already had wanted to get Khashoggi to lure
him back to Saudi Arabia for Well, who knows what they wanted
to do with him, you know, to lure him from Saudi Arabia, also
this information that he had gone to the Saudi consulate, the
embassy in Washington, but they told him, he had to go to
Istanbul, he goes to Istanbul to the consulate there, and they
tell him fine, they're gonna give him that marriage document
he needed. But he had to come back in a week. So he goes to
London participates in a meeting last week, and goes back, which
presumably is for them to prepare and to bring these two
planes in with a forensic expert in the military and intelligence
people. And, at least according to these latest reports, if this
is true with the video and audio evidence, he was murdered and
dismembered within a few hours, and then the planes flew out.
Well, it's brutal. And what we also know
are reports that US intelligence agencies may have been aware
that she's Nancy Drew,
before she goes on, but there's a couple of interesting points
that have to be thought about. Because one of the things at
least we do on this show is look at the logic of a lot of this
shit Khashoggi knows or senses that he wants to be tricked into
going back to Saudi Arabia, because they offered him a
consulting gig. But they don't like him. So he fears Well, I
don't know. Maybe they're going to chop my head off. I'm not
going back. I'm
like Casino. I'm going to be a maid man, but maybe not such a
good idea.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And so.
So he ends up with going to the Virginia supposed to now I find
out what this document was he supposed supposedly now? I don't
know if you've been married a couple of times. Yeah. I would
ask do you when you go to get married and say that to wherever
the court during the church? Do they ask you for proof of your
last divorce?
It depends. And to you, yes. That happened it in relation to
a green card, which is the two previous reasons I got married.
That you do have to prove.
When you're when if you're if it's an immigration issue, and
you get married, then you have to prove that the previous
marriage was dissolved. And so it has to do with immigrations.
Yeah. But it's Yes, exactly. So that may have had something to
do with it. I don't
think it would be the guy with the green cards. So I don't know
how that would work. I'm just I well, I don't think he could
have gone to Vegas and gotten married pretty easily. But no,
he needs to get proof for some reason for some court for
someone that he's been legally divorced from his other
that he's been legally divorced. Well, maybe it was for his
citizenship or green or something. There's something
about that, that may well
then he goes to the Turkish consulate in Washington, DC and
they say now you have to go to Istanbul. Now this makes no
sense to me. Why does he have to go to Istanbul? And he doesn't
think this is suspicious. Why doesn't he say can you mail it
to me? Can you mail it to me? They know who I am. You can't
just bullcrap. Why do I have to go to Istanbul? So he goes deist
now hold on,
hold on one second. In the Muslim faith.
Don't you just say I'm not married? I'm not married. I'm
not married.
Yeah, that's. That is true, but it's kind of a myth and tosses.
It's hard
to get. You can't just do an iPhone video and say, Here's my
proof. I said it three times, or yeah, I'll say it in front of
you.
Yeah, I mean, this would be logical. No, I'm not gonna argue
I thought about that too. So he just stupidly goes to is ample,
and then they look around and they say, oh, geez, we weren't
expecting you. You have to come back in a week.
So we can set up the chopping block a week. You can
get a whole new passport, you can sit there. No, you have to
come back in a week. So he goes to London, and then gives a
speech or something. And he
had a meeting, he had a meeting of sorts. Hmm. Okay. And by the
way,
there's a there's a Turkish or there's a Saudi embassy in
London, a big one.
there and they do a lot of a lot of work. There
is a huge embassies of money, maybe bigger than the one in
Istanbul, but they can't do the paperwork there. Okay, so he
doesn't think twice about this. He says, Okay, I'm going to
stupidly go back to Istanbul and go into the embassy, charging
the embassy and he goes in there and he disappears. Now, this
doesn't sound right under any circumstances, especially for a
guy who's suspicious
Now the one thing I thought immediately was extraction
exercise. I don't know why but I'm just throwing it
to ya. So first thing I thought because they had the 15 guys who
get it get him out of there somehow they get him out there
and take him back to Saudi Arabia six guys I mentioned this
they said that they thought it was an extraction and They
drugged him and they killed him by that by using too much drugs
they immediately filled the thing to
wow an extraction gone horribly wrong.
Yes, you have an extraction gone wrong. So but that does that
belies all these these so called, oh, they found him they
yelled at him in Arabic they tortured him and then killed him
when they have video and audio evidence which again is another
question. How do they get this A and because you where
is it? Where is it? Where is it?
Where is it? And the second thing down to that dead two
versions of this tape? And then there's the bogus story about
the iPhone or the I watched the Apple Watch apparently turned it
on record or or a devotion to the cloud cell signal and he is
videotaping himself in his embassy which I'm sure is
shrouded with Faraday cage terrible I wouldn't be a violent
rant. I think there's this whole story stinks to high heaven.
So no agenda thinking we will focus on what's going to be done
with it. But my last clip is from France. 24 kind of a wrap
up for what was happening with him or what he might have been
doing if he was creating enemies. This is on French ramp
France 24. His friend Salim says UK
now for more on that story, we're joined by Salim resiko,
Turkish, Washington DC thank you for talking
in this clip in the beginning of the guys on Skype, and it's it's
a really crappy connection. So it's not, it's not your file.
It's not me. It's not Skype, it's on the recording. Now
for more on that story, we're joined by Salim resiko Turkish
political scientists based in Washington, DC thank you for
talking to us on France 24. No, Salim you personally know Jamal
Khashoggi, you met him half a dozen times this year alone.
Tell us about that.
I joined by Mr. Khashoggi was a regular fixture at events in
Washington in New York as well, it would not be accurate to say
that I know him per se. He's gotten his friends and
colleagues who would be in a position to speak much more
about music I should do. But I had the opportunity to speak
with him a bunch of times. Something that struck me about
our conversations with Mr. Khashoggi was someone who had
been in government has always been around the government in
Saudi Arabia. And its thinking seems to be informed by a
growing sense of activity at this regime that he knew quite
well, it gets better, was more unpredictable. And it was going
in a direction that he didn't he didn't necessarily like, and he
was vocal about his criticism and that sense, but he never
really saw himself as a as a dissident. He was perhaps
that's what it was. I was about to put that to you, because he
wasn't calling for regime change. He supported the 2030
vision for Saudi society put forth by Mohammed bin Salman. It
does seem extraordinary if the narrative were kind of getting
is true that he would be targeted when he wasn't really
that Furcifer as a critic,
something that's not on my I directed this question to one of
my Turkish contacts, asking if this narrative is true, why Mr.
Khashoggi would be targeted. Something that's been hitting
the news recently is that Mr. Khashoggi was working on a pro
democracy think tank, and he's been meeting with Gulf bass
donors with activists. I think the organization's name was
going to be Don and it was incorporated in Delaware
democracy for the Arab world. Now, if that is the case,
considering that he was also previously an editor in chief
for a newspaper owned by Alvalade bin Talal, the
billionaire Harry, who was part of the Ritz Carlton arrests,
perhaps that made them a liability for the Saudi regime,
but otherwise this is beyond the best of our imaginations. Mr.
Khashoggi is a very well known Saudi journalist, the fact that
he would vanish and potentially in this grisly way, it's
impossible to wrap our heads around it. Obviously,
no Turkey is caught between a rock and a hard place. And this
so dawn, the democracy for the Arab world now, this clip only
came to me this morning, so I haven't had a chance to look
into Don. But that's something I hadn't heard about in the
reporting.
Know, it's news
to me. So there's a lot to get into for season song.
Dawn, now that's tie a yellow ribbon. No, assistant on data.
Never Dawn was Tony Orlando.
No, don't look up. Let's not.
Let's not no, no.
Valley. That was not.
I desperately need to deconstruct Kanye. Well, wait a
minute. We
never finished this thing was because
I thought that was it. I was done. I was wrapped. That's all
we got.
I think it was much of a wrap.
I said all I have, we will wait to see what's going to happen
with the Magnitsky Act. We already globalizing so I don't
know. I as I said, I don't know anything about Don this is this
came in late this morning. I'd need to look into that.
But I can see where it was a spook.
Yes, well, I think that's pretty good. I
really doubt that Solomon, how dumb is this guy if he's gonna
go bring a guy in and chop him up at the embassy me, there's
millions of ways the assassins can do it, and you know, throw
you off a roof. I mean, there's a million ways to just shoot you
from a distance if you
want to. I totally agree, if you're gonna kill somebody, then
into this, make it look like an accident, do it the way we
usually do to to the head, you know, and then on the left hand,
small, hot tub. Lots of good ways to do it's just doesn't
make any sense in this unless now there's one I just want to
say this before we go on, there was one kind of more of a
alternative idea, which is that Salman is part of the mob that's
now running Saudi Arabia, and this was a message but even if
it was a message, where you know, they would have wasn't
much of a message because he just kind of disappeared
now this embassy I think this embassy back and forth business
and I agree with you that it's sketchy about the proving the
divorce as the reason for it. That's what spooks do embassies
are where spooks live has no one watched the American squad we
all know this. Yeah, they're
all in there. So what did it to bring 15 more guys in? Right?
Crawling was spooks now.
But he was I think he was a spook maybe he was transporting
something from the Embassy in London to the embassy in Turkey.
I don't know.
That sounds more believable than anything is crazy. Is that
what's not even crazy? That actually makes sense?
Yeah, he was maybe it's just shuttling stuff back and forth.
Hey, he worked for the Washington Post. Lots of spies
have and current i allege currently do work for The
Washington Post. Since this isn't you know, and why would a
guy who's as you pointed out in the newsletter is Muslim
Brotherhood was connected to Osama bin Laden and they could
have really asked him to pen a little a little column about his
relationship with Osama bin Laden. So the thieves he's
heralded as a fantastic this guy. Oh, yeah. He was one of
their sources. I'm sure this guy sounds like a spook. And then we
may have been what do we get? We gave we gave a spook away. We
got a spook back with the pastor, this is Pastor spook,
journalist spoke
podcaster spoke.
We don't have any podcasts or spooks, it'd be making more
money.
Not yet.
Not yet. Not yet. No, you never know.
All right. Okay. So I think that's the wrap. I think that's
it.
Now we're gonna go to Kai do have a Kanye clip too. Yes, it's
going to be number three in the sequence. Because this was, this
is
why I enjoyed this Kanye stuff more than anything good, because
I really enjoyed the whole, everybody getting all bent out
of shape. And I'm going to preface the whole thing that
you're going to do with who cares is Kanye is given to him
and Trump kind of like each other. So what
what I found interesting is, well, obviously the the outwell
it was two sides. It started with immediate name calling.
That's part of what your clip is. And really just little bits
and bytes of what happened in the Oval Office and what what
was shown and what people responded to was almost kind of
appropriate all Though not the way it was presented, but only
on this show, can you actually sit down and listen to what
Kanye said? Because all those little sound bites all those
little bits were picked from one long soliloquy, which not only
is it does it make sense, not only is it no agenda, thinking,
he's even saying some things that you have specifically
bitched about on this show. And it was, it was an eye opener.
And so now I really am starting to think that certainly CNN and
Don Lemon and whoever else, really don't want anyone to
listen to what Kanye said. And you and you have to listen to
the whole thing. And I sat, you know, twice. I watched this half
hour just trying to understand what he was saying. And it's
really not, it's actually quite smart. And it's, it's the stuff
we talk about all the time. And, you know, if the news media,
whether they're lazy, and just like I it's just Kanye being
crazy, and so let's just assume he's not, or they are, they do
not want people to know what he said. And I think that's
important. Here's the I'm just gonna set it up your clip is
number three. I want
to say this, that I think that there. They are a little lazy.
And I don't think they care what he has to say because they're if
you're on the globalist side of the debate, all this stuff is
nuts. John,
if they don't care, why didn't they just marginalize him and
just not talk about him? Why all the outrage why, why the insane
conversations about him?
That's the dynamics of the news business. Some, you know,
somebody if one person makes a big stink about it. He's also a
target kinase of important celebrity and he's in there
violating the unspoken black rule. Okay, go on. I just saying
I think it's just became a story.
I think there's a story here. We'll start with pretty much
CNN, Wolf Blitzer. This part of the clip everyone's seen with
Don Lemon. I just wanted to pay attention to what snippets they
pull out to discuss with their panel about what Kanye was
saying and doing in the Oval Office. So here's their little
edit.
He don't look good. We don't look good. This is our
president. He has to be the freshest the flyest, the flyest
planes, the best factories, and we have to make our core be
empowered. We have to bring jobs into America. I don't answer
questions as simple some sound bites you you are tasting a fine
wine. It has multiple notes to it. The liberal will try to
control a black person through the concept of racism because
they know that we're very proud emotional people. So when I said
I like Trump to like someone that's liberal, they'll say, oh,
but he's racist. You think racism can control me? Oh,
that'll stop me. That's an invisible wall. Would you build
a trapdoor that if you mess up and you accidentally something
happens, you fall and you end up next to the Unabomber? Let me
get this guy.
Now, when you hear this sequence, and of course, my ears
perked up, mainly because he said, You fall through the door
and you land next to the Unabomber. I'm like, wow, this
is so it sounds completely unhinged the way they've put
this together. And what was kind of like a double wink, I think,
is when Kanye says, you know, I'm like a fine wine. You got
all these different notes? I don't have that in one of my
clips. What he actually said was added in there that he said,
Yeah, but he said, what he said before that was I don't speak in
sound bites. I'm like a fine. So they Oh, yeah. Now you do.
That's exactly what happened. So now they bring in Don Lemon to
discuss this and Don says exactly what I thought.
I love this guy right here. Yeah.
He did most of the talking in the Oval Office. Don, what do
you think,
Wolf? I listen, I don't I have no animosity for Kanye West. I'm
just gonna be honest, and may get in a lot of trouble for it.
I feel actually feel bad for him. What I saw was a minstrel
show today. him in front of all of these white people, mostly
white people
that let's just discuss for a second minstrel show. This is in
essence calling him an Uncle Tom and my correcting worse worse
now. Minstrel shows I believe we're white people who put on
black although it did also include black people. It was
white. It began
with black people putting on blackface. If you saw the
Broadway play,
you know about this is the Al Jolson time, right. You know
about this guy?
Well, this is pre Al Jolson, right. If you saw this minstrel
shows for black people putting on blackface and playing blacks,
just stupid blacks, exaggerated stupidness and they would do
whole act a whole routine. It was a very interesting era. Was
it funny and then the whites said, Hey, we could do the same
thing. And so they put on the black face and they got, you
know, they could go to better venues. And so pretty soon they
blacks were marginally paralyzed. But it's an
insult is what it is begin so they don't even Christine failed
to mention the whole time that Jim Brown,
I got Jim Brown, I got Jim Brown,
I got Jim Brown Brown is one of the most famous black men in
history, recent history, for his exploits is the probably the
greatest running back in the history of football. And he was
a famous actor.
I have some Jim Brown clips from this meeting as well, because
this was a very
the way I understand it. Jim Brown never said anything. Jim
Brown said
several things.
Several things. This lead.
I mean, I know what I'll do Jim Brown right now for you. So
here's it now it's he doesn't speak very loudly or Jim Brown.
But here's what he said.
It's my honor. Jim, I want to tell you, I've been a fan of
yours for a long time, long time and nobody likes you. Nobody,
like no athlete like you.
I'm here to serve. I'm not here to ask for anything. I'm here to
contribute. And that's always been the way Jim has been.
Jim Brown, which I think is a nice statement says I'm here to
serve. I'm not asking for anything. I'm here to help out.
Tell me how I can help Mr. President. Gee, you didn't see
that on TV. Jim Brown also had something misled also had
something to say about North Korea.
to friends of mine and a friend of mine for a long time. And Jim
was Jim came out of nowhere. And he said, I like what the
president's doing a long time ago, we met.
And I just appreciate Jim Brown Uncle Tom, very much. And
the employment numbers if you look at the median income if you
look at every single indicator, when keeping up promised you
fantastic. I like the North Korea. I like North Korea. So
that's your karma.
Well, he's turned out to be great dialogue. We had a little
dialogue
seaspan had the best audio there. Their audio guys are
pretty good. Damn cameras are making a huge racket. So first
thing is I like North Korea guy. I think he says this. Yeah, this
is very good. This is good dialogue. Jim Brown says he's
he's encouraging the president who's good dialogue.
And the Secretary of State just came back. Mike just came back
from North Korea. We had very good meetings and we'll meet
again, but we're dealing with no more nuclear testing. No more
missiles
going to Trump's got to take his little credits here.
No more nothing. Yeah. That was added to war that was headed to
war.
Jim Brown says, looks like we were almost in war. Command
seemed like it was
that close? Yep. I spoke to President Obama. I will tell you
that was heading to war. And now it's going to be I believe it's
gonna work out really well. To stop the war. We really start to
save millions of lives. You know, Seoul has 30 million
people. You know,
I left this in just so you could hear that Trump was you know, he
was pontificating.
30 million people right near the border, 30 miles off the border,
millions of people would have been killed. And I don't say
anything. So
one of the biggest problems, we solve the one of the biggest
problems.
Jim Brown says we solve one of the biggest problems. All right,
so you didn't see that on the news? Why would you just Jim
Brown, he doesn't matter. opinion doesn't matter. And I
love being able to do this. And this is this is going to be a
little longer than normal. Just because we can't do what the
mainstream media did with Kanye is chop him into bits, because
then you don't understand what he's saying. Once you understand
what he's saying, then we never have to do it again. Let's go
back to
that there's a connection between the bone saw references
and chopping people into bits and chopping Kanye into bits.
I sure hope not because I fear I believe that he is purposely
being suppressed with what he's saying. Because it's very
important what he's saying. So I fear for
black community to hear it
request. I'm just going to be honest, and may get in a lot of
trouble for it. I feel actually feel bad for him. What I saw was
a minstrel show today, him in front of all of these white
people, mostly white people, embarrassing himself and
embarrassing Americans, but mostly African Americans,
because every one of them is sitting either at home or with
their phones watching this cringing. I couldn't even watch
it. I had to turn the television off. Oh, it was so hard to
watch.
Okay, so because Darren just couldn't watch it. The
journalist that he is, he missed I guess what Kanye was at She's
saying and just has an opinion without having watched it and
anyone at home any African American with a phone is is is
disgusted as horrified by this. So I went to
what just quick Zephyr just went by
only you can do that job.
Sorry, people right down to time
every black American with a phone was embarrassed by this.
So I went to my favorite Opus One YouTube channel which has
1.2 million subscribers. It is my go to it is a black YouTube
channel. Let's pull up a couple of clips real briefly. Here's
Shahbaz the OG Shahbaz is, what's poppin? what's poppin?
Bro?
I'm not even making those statements. I'm gonna ask a
couple questions. Is the disdain with Kanye about what he says?
Meaning? Is he lying about things that he say? Is he not
making sense? Do we have a problem with what he's saying?
Or is the major problem the fact that he has aligned himself and
continues to put himself in the presence and in the midst of
Donald Trump? What's the real issue? We can't yet
so that's one voice. Let's hear from another fun black American.
He's finally brother resist. I'm here while I'm studying this
interview with Kanye West and Donald Trump. I want you to
understand some of that do not allow the hat to mislead you do
not allow that to mislead you do not allow him saying Oh, I love
Trump and all his dancing and Sam Bowen and shut them in Java
to mislead you remember, there is a strategy when it comes to
dealing with the system of white supremacy. There is a strategy
when it comes to this. Remember the spook who sat by the door?
Remember Nat Turner? There was a system so what if Kanye is
finessing the president? What if he is finessing the White House?
What if he is saying he's going to pretend to do all of this
nonsense and look like one of the worst god damn hypocrites on
the planet just so that he can gain his access because now the
President has given him the Presidential stamp of approval.
Donald Trump told him that he could speak on his behalf
wherever and whenever he wants to get Larry Hoover brought out
of prison. What would that do to go after other political
prisoners? What would I do?
So there's a name I hadn't heard and he came up with a couple of
real gangsters on this Opus One YouTube channel. They heard him
talk about it. I just
want to say less is not crazy. He said for the President of
United States and said free levy Hoover. Create Western free
Larry Hoover in Illinois. What's the free Levy? Who would have
Donald Trump is mad at him? Yeah, Nick is coming at you.
Alex is stupid. Every celebrity that's coming down your client
wants to sue, he might be a little Oh, he really might be a
little over some shit. But freelance, freelance, freelance,
you really need to check yourself, man.
Alright, so we will get into who Larry Hoover is, after we go
back to the incredible disdain from CNN in particular, which
clip did you have now, John?
Well, I have the clip where they some just another one of the
many. I had a choice of a bunch of clips. But the one which I
thought was the absolute worst, which was a low point it CNN
word once some black analyst and one of the many that they have
on their roster comes out and just lays into Kanye in the
worst possible way.
And this is a grand display of mass ignorance in the face of
the downfall of democracy. And we have a white and a black man
joined together at the narcissistic hip who refuse to
understand that they are more a roadblock than a road to real
democracy in our country. This is white supremacy by
ventriloquism, a Black Mountain. But right racist ideas are
flowing from Kanye West's mouth. Kanye West is engaging in one of
the most nefarious practices yet a black body and brain are the
warehouse for the articulation and expression of anti black
sentiments that had been chin checked by people with far more
rigorous
credentials. Now,
I don't know about you, and I have no standing being a white
American. But I heard black America talk on the Opus One
Channel. And I'd say this guy is
the Uncle Tom.
Well, he's obviously a stooge for the CNN. White management.
It's not run by a white guy. I mean, a black guy is run by a
white guy.
So we'll go back to Don Lemon, because I think he really set
the tone he is the voice of black America now according to
him, according to him. Just so you can hear how he shames
Kanye, because of course he's, you know, he's crazy at Don
Lemon kind of started the Kanye is, is mentally ill vibe. We'll
just go back to that. And then we'll get into what Kanye
actually said
him sitting there being used by the President of the United
States of President United States exploiting him. And
excited. I don't mean this in a disparaging way you're
exploiting someone who needs help, who needs to back away
from the cameras, who needs to get offstage, who needs to deal
with his issues, and if anyone around him cares about him, the
family that he mentioned today, or whomever, his managers, maybe
some other people who are in the music business who know him,
they need to grab him and snatch him up and get Kanye together
because Kanye needs help. And this has nothing to do.
And this is Don is giving white America and white news cable
show America license to repeat this, which is what happened
incessantly over the weekend
with being liberal or conservative. This has to do
with honesty, and we have to stop pretending sitting here on
these CNN panels or on whatever network panels and pretending
like this is normal. And let's have this conversation about
Kanye West when he said Who cares? Why are you sending
cameras to the Oval Office or Kanye West? Did you send cameras
to the Oval Office and carry it live?
Actually, I didn't clip that but there's a part where Trump said
you know everyone wanted to be here and the press this press is
in there on video so yeah, we wanted to see this we didn't
want to see in the other meeting so yeah, of course they wanted
that it's crazy town when
common visited the White House come and visited the White House
and did a beautiful poem spoken word poem talked about how black
people are kings and queens that's what we up and do better.
He didn't disparage anybody.
I don't hear the kids on Opus One talking about common and his
poem. He didn't
get stopped stop back at have a little bit.
He's talking about common in his poem like you okay. Then he said
he didn't disparage anybody. did kinda disparage people.
Not I do not believe so. And everything I've seen no.
But what's he talking about? Well, Trump
is a racist, disparages,
beautiful poem, spoken word, talked about how black people
are kings and queens, how we need to rise up and do better.
He didn't disparage anybody. He didn't speak in non sequiturs.
He didn't do anything awful. And you know, the only people who
criticize him, the only people who really covered it, were Sean
Hannity and his band of hypocrites, who are now who are
now applauding Kanye West, and the same people that many in
that group called the N word because of Taylor Swift and
because of George Bush, and now all of a sudden,
he's rambling. Yeah, he's gonna wrap it up. But he just has to
get one more insult person
who represents the African American community. He doesn't.
We need to take the cameras away from Kanye, and from a lot of
this craziness that happens in the White House because it is
not normal. And we need to stop sitting here pretending that
it's normal. This was an embarrassment. Kanye, his mother
is rolling over in her grave.
Oh, yeah. That's the lowest that now you can't go much lower
recently, didn't she? Yeah. And it affected him a lot. So good
work Don Lemon. I'm revoking his
Don Lemon even working at this operation,
because he's the guy that will set the tone that is desired. I
can't see it any other way. That is the desired tone. He's black,
therefore he has standing He can say whatever he wants.
It's just a plus.
Plus, exactly. Okay. So the backdrop is, we've got Jim Brown
sitting there, and all that conversation with Jim Brown that
happened mainly in the in the beginning, before Kanye even got
into his because that launched pretty quick, but first five
minutes, just did Jim Brown talk about North Korea, and, and, you
know, trumping I just want to be here to serve, Mr. President.
And then Kanye, he's not there alone. No, he has Larry Hoover's
lawyer with him. Jared is also in, in this meeting, which no
one mentioned. Larry Hoover was arrested in Chicago for drugs.
And initially it was just a minor offense. But then, after
17 years, he was re arrested, because apparently he had not
only run a criminal gang from jail, but he had called out a
hit on some rival gang member who was killed. And then he got
a six time life sentence. But in the 17 years after his the
initial incarceration, he was really organizing Chicago, man
he was trying to better his life. I wasn't there. I'm just
telling you what the story is on. On Larry Hoover. And so then
he got you know, the guy is now 68 and has been in jail for
quite a while and you hear that black kids on the YouTube was
one channel, they know who Larry Hoover is. They see him as some
kind of hero. Is it because he was a drug dealer? Or was it
because he was trying to do something good. And this is why
Kanye is actually there, which is not mentioned. We know that
Kim Kardashian successfully got someone out of jihad pardoned
the woman who was on a minor drug offense. So now let's pick
up the story at the beginning of this meeting.
While you're with us today, and it's a prisoner that we're
focused on, he has six life sentences and they have him next
to the Unabomber. Do it 23. And once
you so now, you know the reference to the Unabomber. He's
in the same facility.
Out of context, and by the way, there was no mention of Larry
Hoover on any of this CNN reports.
Jeff think,
no, it's more important to show Don Lemon saying his mom was
rolling over in her grave. Larry Hoover has an interesting story.
I've never heard of Larry Hoover. I'm just learning about
it. That means what are they doing? What What was he in? Yes,
tell me tell us allegedly use
for conspiracy from this is Hoover's lawyer prison. It's a
prison. It's a legend. But we do believe even if he did commit
those crimes, the sentence was overly broad into six
consecutive life sentences and the most secure prison in the
world also known as clean version of Hill for basically an
economic growth prison is that negative for ADX supermax in
Florence, Colorado. They how's the Unabomber al Qaeda
operatives, mass killers, Oklahoma City bomber things of
that nature,
how old is 6868 years old?
60 years old.
Really, the reason why they imprison him is because he
started doing positive for the community, he started showing
that he actually had power that he wasn't just one of a
monolithic voice, but he could wrap people around. So there's
theories that there's infinite amounts of universe in this
Ultimate Universe. So it's very important for me to get Hoover
out, because in an alternate universe, I am him.
Now, this may sound unhinged, but we have spoken about this
specifically, alternate universes and yes, in a
different dimension, I think would be more correct. In
scientific terms. I'm you and your me, there's a dimension
where that's taking place. Isn't that the theory of quantum soil?
Actually, the theory is there's probably an infinite number of
things that can be going on, right? Every decision you make
could have gone off in a different direction. And it
actually has.
So this is a almost a religious philosophy Kanye has, which he's
mentioned multiple times, of course, is laughed at. I don't
laugh because we've talked about alternate universes in different
contexts, but not that dissimilar. What he's saying is
in some other universe, I'm in jail, and he's me, and I have a
duty to go and help this guy. It's just a humanity thing. But
it's Kanye. So you have to think and listen to what the guy's
saying.
And I have to go and get him free because he was doing
positive inside of Chicago, just like how moving back to Chicago.
And it's not just about
I didn't know Kanye was moving back to Chicago. Yeah, that was
that was mentioned. Yeah. But it was news that he was moving
back. Yeah. Okay. And
that's, you know, getting on stage and being an entertainer
and having a monolithic voice that's for forced to be a
specific party. You know, people expect that if you're a black,
you have to be Democrat. I have a, I've had conversations that
basically said that welfare is the reason why a lot of black
people end up being a Democrat, they say,
Hey, you got to stay with him. That's why it doesn't work when
it's chopped up. So he's segwaying into something else.
But it all comes around at the end with a mind blowing reveal.
You know, first
of all, it's a limit to amount of jobs. So the fathers lose the
jobs and they say, we'll give you more money for having more
kids in your home. And then we got rid of the Mental Health
Institute's in the 80s and 90s. And the prisoner rates just shot
up.
Have we not discussed that specifically?
Yeah, we discuss Reagan shutting down the ones in the 80s Yeah,
he's in California because it was a demand and I would just as
a reminder, to keep her know, I was here during that eras and
going to high school and college and I remember the era because
it was the Liberals going oh my god, these mental health
facilities and they always cite Agnew state hospital in San
Jose. Are they're horrible. And then when that One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest movie came at all they're horrible, we gotta shut
him down is terrible. This is not the way to treat the
mentally ill. And so Reagan comes in. As a Republican, he
says, that's what you guys want, okay, we're shutting them down
and they shut all of them down. And then there's been nothing
but complaining ever since.
And the part that you and I have never been able to come up with
because we're not black. Is that black or red? shot through the
roof because of this. And so bear in mind, the unit bomber
all the stuff that comes to the end with Kanye,
right? People end up being Democrats, they say, you know,
first of all, it's a limit to amount of jobs. So the fathers
lose the jobs and they say, we'll give you more money for
having more kids in your home. And then we got rid of the
Mental Health Institute's in the 80s and the 90s. And the
prisoner rates just shot up. And now you have shy rack what
people call shadow rack, which is actually our murder rate is
going down by 20%. Every year, I just talked to the
superintendent met with Michael sacks. That's Ron ROMs. Right
hand, man.
Oh, my God, could they be met with him? They must be crazy,
why they entertain that fool.
So I think it's the bravery that helps you beat this game called
life. You know, they tried to scare me to not wear this hat,
my own friends. But this hat, it gives me it gives me power in a
way, you know, my dad and my mom separated. So I didn't have a
lot of male energy in my home. And also I'm married to a family
that um, you know, not a lot of male energy going on. Beautiful.
I of course, he is kind of winking to Bruce Jenner there. I
mean, Caitlin. So I understand where he's coming from. I didn't
have a lot of male energy in my household. So I, I hear what
he's saying. When you put it all together. What he said, this
next bit becomes irrelevant.
But there's times where you know, it's something about, you
know, I love Hillary, I love everyone, right? But the
campaign I'm with her just didn't make me feel as a guy
that didn't get to see my dad all the time. Like a guy that
could play catch with his son.
Now, is this not something we explicitly discussed? When that
slogan came up? I'm with her it was like that. That's kind of
we've we discussed the fact that I'm with her is not a campaign.
And to Kanye, it meant well I don't feel good about that. I
want to be with daddy. He's literally saying that and i i I
can understand that. He felt that way. It's this is not a
crazy thing to say. And he's I love Hillary, but I didn't like
it. I didn't feel good about it didn't want to be with her. I
want I missed the male energy in his life or in the world.
Whatever it is.
It was something about when I put this hat on and made me feel
like Superman. You made a Superman that was that's my
favorite superhero. And you made a Superman cape for me also, as
a guy that looks up to you looks up to Ralph Lauren looks up to
American industry guys, nonpolitical, no bullshit, put
the beep on it, however you want to do it, five seconds delay,
and just goes in and gets it done. Right now. You gave me the
heart to go to Adidas, because
it sounds like he's just talking self promotion about himself
when he talks about Adidas. Play. Okay, good
that Adidas. When I went in, and 2015 We're a $14 billion company
losing $2 billion a year. Now we have a $38 billion market cap.
It's called the Yeezy effect.
This guy's clearly mentally insane. He knows market caps. I
mean, this has got to be
a nut job. And I went to Casper, we had a meeting at Chicago
Mattress Company. And I said, you have to bring manufacturing,
onshore, in statements sure into the core is that about the
borders, the core of Adidas, and Chicago is the core of middle
America, we have to make Middle America strong. So I had the
balls because I had the balls to put on this hat. I mean, this
this thing made me a billionaire. And I could have
lost $200 million walking away from that deal. But even with
that, I knew it was more important for me to take the
chance of walking away from that deal than I have no fathers in
Chicago with no homes. And when we do have prison reservation,
for note because it's a it's habilitation that rehabilitation
because we didn't have the abilities in the first place. We
never had anyone to taught us we didn't teach us. Exactly. We had
no one that taught us.
So he does. He does. There's something very important what he
says there, he's mimicking what black Americans will say, well,
nobody taught us because our dads went there is usually
mimicking that. But he's saying some good stuff.
Right? So it's more important than any specific deal and he's
anything that we bring jobs into America and that we provide a
transition with mental health in the American education
curriculum that a gym is worked on. Larry Hoover also has a
curriculum that he's worked on. We have Montessori curriculums
that we worked on. We works as a beautiful curriculum. The
Waldorf establishment has a curriculum, we have meditation,
there's a lot of things affecting our mental health that
makes us do crazy things that puts us back into that trap door
called the 13th amendment.
Now, this is this blew me the fuck away. I'm sorry to use that
word just I got when he said the trap door of the 13th amendment.
Like, what is he talking about? Let's not give it away. We'll
read the 13th Amendment in a moment after Kanye gets to it.
I did say abolish with the hat on because why would you keep
selling around? That's a trapdoor if you build an a floor
the Constitution is the base of our of our industry, right of
our of our country of our company. Would you build a
trapdoor that if you mess up and you accidentally something
happens, you fall and you end up next to the Unabomber.
Okay, the 13th amendment for those who don't know what it is,
or those who have forgotten, the 13th Amendment section one,
neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment
for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to
their jurisdiction. So what that means is, and you have been you
brought this up, we've bitched about this many times, that in
the United States, slavery is legal. If you're incarcerated,
you become a slave of the state, and you're making 25 cents a
day. And you're working for IKEA, you're working for how
many
wishes which is again, York, the famous Dutch saying, I am what I
say you are, but you say something yourself, and you go
to hell, which is what we do with China, we constantly harp
on Oh, China's got slave labor, they have all these prisoners or
slave labor. We're the ones that have actual corporations, that
that, that are involved, I'm sorry, that are involved in
slave labor in the prison system. There's corporations you
can invest in, that will get benefit from the slave labor of
our prison system.
And as I said, companies like Huawei did just to
stop again. I don't mind the prisoners being forced to do
stuff like clean up the roads, maybe there's like the litter on
long highway, at least in California, there's a bunch of
litter, nobody picks it up. I don't mind putting a chain gang
out there. But but you have to pay them.
Yes. And what is happening, as you said, there are companies
and I'm pretty sure when we brought it up, when you brought
it up, IKEA was one of the companies that are they were
making flat pack furniture, all kinds of stuff, and American
corporations go to the correctional Corporation of
America and hire this labor force. And so Kanye is saying
that the 13th amendment has a trapdoor because yes, while it
says no one can be a slave. But if you mess up, and he's going
to explain exactly how cruel this really was, if you mess up,
then you fall through the trap door right into slavery, because
of the 13th amendments trapdoor which is you can be a slave in
the United States. If you're incarcerated for a crime you've
been convicted of
you end up you got to remove all that trapdoor out of the
relationship, the four gentlemen that wrote the 13th amendment.
And I think the way the universe works, it's perfect. We don't
have 13 floors, though, you know. So the four, the four
gentlemen that wrote the 13th Amendment didn't look like the
people they were amending. Also, at that point, it was illegal
for blacks to read, or African Americans to read. And so that
meant if you actually read the amendment, you get locked up.
It's hard to say what I think is we don't need
since he's crazy, I tell you, he doesn't know what he's talking
about. His mom's rolling over in their graves is
this. We need pardons, we need to talk to people. I was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I was connected with a neuro
psychologist that works with the athletes in the NBA in the NFL.
And he he looked at my brand as equal on three parts. I'm gonna
go ahead, drop some bombs for you 98 percentile IQ tests, I
had a 75 percentile of all human beings, but it was counting
eight numbers backwards after as repeat. So I'm gonna work on
that one. The other ones 98% Tesla, Freud,
Tesla intelligence man, he's got to tell you hadn't measured the
genius. And that's it's obvious. He's genius. Because, you
know, you can see that you can see Trump like in this guy,
they're very similar.
So he's gonna wrap it up with this whole 13th amendment thing.
And Larry Hoover and everything with just these, that's really
the whole thing is just almost done,
you know? So he said that I actually wasn't bipolar. I had
sleep deprivation, which could cause dementia 10 to 20 years
from now, I wouldn't even remember my son's name. So all
this power that I get, and I'm taking my son to the Sox game
and all that, I wouldn't be able to remember his name from a
misdiagnosis. And what we need is we can empower the
pharmaceuticals and make more money. That's one thing I've
never stepped into a situation where I didn't make people more
money. So we can empower pharmaceuticals. We can empower
our industries. We can empower our factories, we can bring not
only Adidas on shore, we could bring Foxconn set up a factory
and I think Minnesota 53 Now is in Wisconsin, in Wisconsin, they
have 4000 jobs people making $53,000 a year. And one of the
things we got to set is for to have the highest design the
dopest cars the most amazing I don't really say dope, I don't
say negative words and try to live we just say positive,
lovely, divine universal words. So the flyest freshest, most
amazing car and what we want to start with this, I brought up I
brought a gift with me right here.
He says gift, he means a GIF. And so now this is the famous
He's opening his cell phone, but you hear what he's saying? We
need to have the fly and stuff. It's all gonna be the best in
America.
This right here is the I plane one. It's a hydrogen powered
airplane. And this is what our president should be flying. And
look at this year.
This Jared, Jared, Kansas iPhone, the Jared Jared, like,
Oh,
can we get rid of Air Force? You know, like that? Well,
we're gonna have Apple American company work on this plane with
but you know what I don't like about like, what I what I need
Saturday Night Live to improve on and what I need the Liberals
to improve on his if he don't look good, we don't look good.
This is our president. He has to be the freshest the flyest, the
flyest planes, the best factories, and we have to make
our core be empowered. We have to bring jobs into America,
because our best export is entertainment ideas. But when we
make everything in China and not America, then we're cheating on
our country. And we're putting people in positions that have to
do illegal things to end up in a cheapest factory ever. The
prison system.
There you go. The cheapest factory ever the prison system.
I think Kanye is a profit.
I think he's got definitely as the bipolar thing. He's manic. I
think it was a very it was a shaggy dog story. Yep. With a
punch line, it was very well done. I think he could left a
plane thing out. I think that hurt him.
Well, the whole the whole way he speaks hurts him because it's so
clip worthy for just these little clips of him being
sounding say
get a hold of that thing and clip it together to make him
sound like a complete lunatic.
Just listen to CNN today. You'll be fine. Well, I
think that they probably could have done even better a job.
Yeah, well,
it's a quick clip.
They had to do it quick.
Yeah, I mean, if you spend a little time, you could really
have something very funny. But yeah. I think the guy is a
genius. I've always thought he was I think Taylor Swift is
genius. These people that do this sort of marketing, and they
market themselves a lot. And they do investments. Pete did.
He's another one. whatever his name is nowadays, Sean Combs.
Yeah, he's another one. These guys are extremely intelligent.
They really know how to do marketing and they know how to
invest. Dip. None of them are poor. And they don't seem to be
getting poor. I mean, it compared with the same kind of
professional athletes that don't have quite the intelligence not
to say that most of them don't, some of them do. But when they
have a lot of money, they end up broke. Most guys will never end
up broke. I mean, if they do, it's because they gave it away,
but not because it was stolen from them.
So in review, people really got gypped sorry to use that term,
shortchanged on what Kanye did. And certainly the America of the
black Americans got shortchanged by the news media who was
supposed to be serving them. Could someone have just listened
and don't even show a clip? Just say, Well, he was talking about
the 13th Amendment, Larry Hoover, and how really the
Democrats agree on the on the on the there's too many people in
prisons. But no, they don't want black people to hear what Kanye
has to say. I'm glad I learned a lot. I went to Opus One like,
Oh, what is this?
This is how I learned this stuff. Now that that can't be
done
by by Don Lemon, who had to turn the sound down because he was so
offended. That's offensive. That's actually racist. Like
keeping the black man down. Way to go, Don, and everybody
everybody did it. It was job. He was unbelievable. Well,
black man keeps himself down a lot of times when we lost our
one of our listeners in cog negro. Yeah, we lost his he was
irked by deconstruction we did which was critical of Hillary.
So it had nothing to do with race then.
No, but it has to do with what Kanye was talking about, which
is that if you're black you have to be a Democrat.
Anyway, fear for Kanye because it's so easy to get rid of this
guy. I don't think they have to do it now because they've
marginalized him. But you know, when you hear these kids on
YouTube, that It's a million points to subscribers. You know,
people may just start to listen, I fear for Kanye. If he keeps
this up and people start listening to him, it could be
bad for his health.
Yeah, but they've done a good job of I think they've kept him
safe.
We're actually endangering him, but I feel pretty good about it.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and saying
the morning to you John. The C stands for combs
Devorah back in the morning to your Mr. Adam curry. In the
morning all ships at sea
boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water to dames

Sundays and Thursdays. Also in the morning to Uncle cave bear.
cave bear brought us the artwork for episode 1076 title of that
was M word. And he brought us the the zombies of 2030 There
was just a great compilation piece of the global warming
killing us all in the background. And we're all just
zombies kind of floating around. It's just kind of a look into
our nearby future. And bless you if we don't keep our global
warming down by 1.5 degrees. So we appreciate the work that
Uncle cave bear did there. And all of our artists who we got a
lot of art actually no no agenda, our generator.com is
actually quite a bit in there was quite a bit of art and funny
too. But we got to choose one. But also, thanks for the word
cloud couple people the word clouds I think he used that in
the, in the newsletter word cloud. I
was hoping it would be a little more. Yeah, yeah, it
actually it was not quite as exciting as I had hoped it would
be. But at least somebody
can do those. Now I do have a lot of stuff in the second half
of the show about global I got a follow up to the global warming,
but mostly by deconstructing Al Gore and I found his tell,
you know what, you know what I like about this job. I challenge
you to make a non boring Climate report. And I think you've taken
the challenge. I look forward

A now that you're completely woke
you can go out and spread the gospel about the profit. Our
formula is this we go out but yet people in the mouth
just a question for a European listeners. Jim Brown the
football player. Wasn't he also in some movies like comedy
movie?
Well, I used mostly in Westerns played the tough guy.
It wasn't even something I want to say like airplane but it
wasn't that he may have been an airplane. Now. I saw police
academy police academy. Thanks. Okay. Yeah, police academy.
That's right,
Jim Brad. I don't know if it was Jay was Bubba Smith was in
police. Oh, wait.
Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. high tower. Was that was that that
wasn't Jim Brown was that was Bubba Smith who was high tower.
Mars Attacks. I think he was in that Dirty Dozen. Was it in
dirt? Mop you'll find he did a lot of movies. He was a very
famous actor did a lot of movies now. And he was a tough guy he
real life. No one's gonna call him and Uncle Tom he was he was
non existent CNN studio. He wasn't he wants to go in there
and say what did you call me?
Oh, right back in the day. Oh, yeah. Oh, hey, but today he will
with his cane go. Beat Donald beat some Don Lemon ass.
Make some lemonade.
By the way, when we talk about something like this violence
promoting, I want to point out that you know, the Republicans
are the ones with the guns. The Democrats are the ones that
shouldn't have guns. They should be illegal. We've talked about
in the last show, but here here's here's Nancy Nicole
Wallace.
She's the worst and she's looking for. She's looking
pretty bad and
called him out. Yeah, it would have been a very,
I told Jeb Bush after that debate, that I thought he should
have punched him in the face this even if you lost He
insulted your wife
and called Mexicans rapists and murderers. He said what do you
think I should have done so I think he should punch him in the
face and then gotten out of the race you
would have been a hero. No, he wouldn't Adderall she's on
Adderall. She's unsalted Yeah. I do have a little Andhra mon
okay.
This is Alex Jones. I'm going I've got a compilation I put
together I only have this is just piece up one small piece of
a very long piece which I'm going to take clips from every
so often and the minute we reveal them their destruction is
that I do have a small ISO as a suggestion for industrial Okay.
Done, you're in a you're in, you're in. I'm gonna lead you
into your Al Gore with a little climate change update from the
Van Jones Show, which I found I found myself watching a lot of
television with the keepers yesterday own show. The Van
Jones has a show on CNN. Wow. Yes, it's a talk show with an
audience and he's very pleased about and
I'm looking forward to tonight. By the way. What's his name?
Alex. Do you know who Alex What's his last name? I can't
remember for some reason. The guy who plays Trump on Saturday
Night Live Alec Baldwin. Alec Alec, not Alex. That's what got
me. Alec Baldwin's got a talk show. And they're running it on
primetime on NBC.
Oh, I didn't even was there. Uh, SNL last night, and even the
watch? I didn't know there was I did watch some stuff last night,
which will come up later. But here's Van Jones, and he's
talking about the report. Of course, the we're all gonna die
within 12 years, and he brings on known climate change experts.
Neil deGrasse Tyson. Oh, wait, he's an astrophysicist. But it
doesn't matter as Neil deGrasse Tyson everybody,
what is the thing that worries you the most about climate?
We've had relatively stable climate, no ice ages, no hot
spells. And we've had these ice caps that have remained
primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. Oh my gosh, if you
melt those ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the
water levels will rise and come to the level of the Statue of
Liberty's elbow. Elbow I
tell you, is it actually better than any of the clips ever? Mel
go you might as well play clip at the day for that one.
Up to her elbow ideally up to her elbow.
A bunch of bull crap.
Let me play the rest.
Okay, so we're talking. Not so much it was so hot. It's gonna
kill me. Now we're talking about sea level change water. We're
all the greatest cities in the world. They're on the ocean's
edge on the river's edge. My point is sorry, Austin's not on
the river's edge what's gonna happen first the coastal cities
will get flooded you're not gonna just see water level
slowly rise that will happen but that's not what you're gonna
notice first the storm swell that previously only broke the
water to here now breaches your city walls. You'll see it in the
extremes of the weather and and this will destabilize the world.
And you know, who knows about this is the military. Pentagon.
No debate Pentagon is no debate, you know, doesn't have a debate.
Insurance companies.
Oh, that doesn't seem to
be true. Doesn't seem to be true.
How about your your host? John, you're right there one of the
great cities of the world right on the coast. You're gonna be up
to your elbow and Water Watch as your insurance change for your
home? No,
not at all. Oh, well. We're gonna add a clip in the last
show. I think you had it about showing that to one of the
things or somebody expressed this that the insurance
companies the guys that know what they're doing ones with the
money they have to dig and lose and so they've been insuring it
the only place I know of where I know that there hasn't been an
effect is in Biloxi because that storm that came in the 110 years
ago Katrina I think is the one that slammed there. It took got
to all these coastal all the stuff that was right on the
coast right on the water and insurance company says we're not
going to pay for any more of this kind of thing. So now it's
all Biloxi is kind of stripped of all these beautiful matches
that used to be on the coastline be because no one will build
their cars insurance is too high. But that's the only place
I know of where this has happened.
balsamea Yes, that was about this not because of
rising sea levels is because of the possibility of a hurricane
strike, right? Their military. Yeah, the
pen the Pentagon had no debate. The
Pentagon has no debate. You know, Alex doesn't have a debate
insurance companies,
but you're saying our cities are at risk. Our civilizations are
at risk and displace a whole bunch of people and that could
cause all kinds of wars. It'll happen faster than
you could move the city inland.
Alright, so just there's there's proof. Neil deGrasse Tyson says
your insurance rates are going up. That is actually
frightening. But I don't see any evidence of this happening yet.
NEIL DeGRASSE
now wishes for this and this is what Al Gore So Al Gore comes on
to the PBS NewsHour with Judy. And just to give you an idea I'm
going to clip to this is Al Gore 12 trapped energy a
just talks about the science you mentioned. Sorry,
I was just gonna say this kind of an ask Adam. But
let's talk about the science. You mentioned that there was
this major report from the UN scientific panel, the group that
you shared a Nobel Peace Prize with, what about 10 years ago,
they are painting a much more alarming picture of what we face
than we had previously known. What is significant to you what
what is most significant in this report you
the language the IPCC used and presenting it is torqued up a
little bit appropriately. How do they get the attention of
policymakers around the world? You know, the the manmade global
warming pollution accumulates in the atmosphere, and it stays
there a pretty long time. And it now traps as much extra heat
energy every day.
So he's saying it was kind of to coin a phrase trumped up to get
everyone's attention. He's basically admitting it.
He didn't use the word Trump. I coined the phrase, yeah,
trapped. Yes, I'm
talking Yes.
But he says to you, did you hear the end there is like a quiet
and open thing. He's going to give you the answer to it. I
want you to see if you can just I want you to play it again the
end. So we can then play the answer to what he's about to
say. In other words, his conclusion I want you to try to
listen carefully to what this what this really what he's
saying.
Go back to 10 seconds. Let's hear
you know, the the manmade global warming pollution accumulates in
the atmosphere, and it stays there a pretty long time. And it
now traps as much extra heat energy every day.
So what's the I'm not sure what the question is.
That's it traps as much energy every day as
as Oh, so it's going to be a comparison.
He's going to do a comparison, I want you to note it. I want you
to write it down. Because every day, this is what happens PLAY
CLIP B
and it now traps as much extra heat energy every day, as would
be released by 500,000. Hiroshima class atomic bombs
exploding every day.
500,000 Hiroshima bombs exploding every day. I thought
we had a statistic like that on a clip previously,
and somebody out there who really wants to do it. I mean, I
could do some research and do is I would like the math on that.
Here. I got something from an old clip. Let me just see what
this is has the swarmed
in the last 18 years or not. Let's hear from both men.
Firstly, Dr. Moore,
it's gonna take too long. There. There is something else that we
had about her Hiroshima, but I'll check that clip after the
show. See what they said.
Yeah, I'm going to skip the C clip because it goes on about
how it's all sucked up by the ocean, which he talks about the
then he talks about how the ocean is getting so hot as
create creating these super storms. Of course, the first one
was that one years ago that then we hadn't had one for 10. But
we're not going to count that. Here's another kind of
interesting I liked the way he phrases this. I think this is
new. This is clip 11 I think this is a new idea, a new way to
put things
the scientists not only predicted these consequences,
they're telling us they're gonna get a lot worse still, until we
start using the Earth's atmosphere as an open sewer for
110 million tons of manmade global warming pollution every
single day.
Wow. manmade global warming pollution is a sewer. What comes
out of your piehole is a sewer.
Do we have a sewer we're using the atmosphere is the sewer
nice. I thought that was actually quite good.
I'm going to rename your clip to spell it properly in case we're
looking forward again.
Now. Let's listen to where I get where I picked up his tell when
he's like knows he's lying. And he He has a job microexpression
I'm gonna get into these little more factors of course I might
take from the expert on it in there's a guy in the Bay Area
does this. micro expressions are these little momentary mistakes
you make to give away whether you're telling the truth or not.
Okay, and they're used by the intelligence agencies and some
example. Well, you're gonna have an example here. Okay, so let's
play Al Gore 10 store. This is this is Al Gore, storms get
stronger. Not the ISO but the lungs.
More importantly, the scientific community has long been
convinced and has been warning policymakers for some time. The
earmarks of this latest storm duty are worth paying attention
to starting with Hurricane Harvey, which hit Houston Texas
a year ago and dumped five feet of rain we saw have been seeing
a new pattern and hurricane Michael intensified as it
reached the coast. And that's something relatively new and the
reason for it is though the ocean waters are much warmer
than normal, so it's not getting cold waters churned up to weaken
the storm. It just keeps on getting stronger.
Now, of course, this is bullcrap. Because Florence which
was the storm in between
got weaker. Yes, it died right off,
died off and stuck there on the coast of North Carolina.
But if you say it by saying if you're Al Gore and you say of
course storms get stronger than you believe it.
Now, here's the tell. See if you can spot it. This is in the ISO.
Okay. More importantly, the scientific community has
taught the little laugh community.
His tell is having a an awkward chuckle very, very small.
chuckle Yeah, let me hear it again. middle of a word that he
knows is part of a bullshit cemetery. Listen
again, more importantly, the scientific community has.
He's laughing but you know, he's actually laughing at the
scientific community. He's like, those assholes that do whatever
I tell them. Good. Yeah. I
have two more examples of this.
That's what I was gonna ask. Yes. Do we have examples now?
Now I want to hear it and you'll be
able to pick them up. There's one where he actually does it
three times?
Can you use the talent a sentence? D.
The nervous laughter way he uses it to me is a tell that this is
bullshit. Because you can, you can when you parse the whole
sentence, you start to hear that the assertions are awkward. Now
let's try this one. This is the global emergency clip and the
end then the tail in ISO. So if
we have a global emergency, and you use a phrase like that, and
first of all, I'm gonna give you a clip of the show for this.
This is fantastic. So he's laughing at his own bull crap
about it being a global emergency.
If we have a global emergency. And you use a phrase like that,
and some people think it's bullcrap, I immediately say,
Okay, calm down. You know, that can't be that bad. But it is.
And what the scientists have warned us in this recent report,
is that if we do not take action quickly, to switch away from
dirty fossil fuels, and shift to electric vehicles, and make
agriculture and forestry much more sustainable and deal with
the waste loops and manufacturing, all things that
we can do we know how to do them, we ought to be doing these
things for other reasons anyway. But if we do not begin taking
action very quickly, and creating jobs in the process, by
the way, then the scientists warn us that the consequences
down the road would be far, far worse than what we're
experiencing now. Could actually extend to an existential threat
to human civilization on this planet as we know it. Wow.
Just foretells in there. Yeah. So
we started with the emergency then the what's the second one?
Well, there the other one was just casually in there. I mean,
there's just four of them in there. But he did the biggest
one was this one, which I have on ice, so
would be far, far worse than what we're experiencing now.
There's no reason for that left to be in there lessons to tell.
Yes. That's just not true. It's not going to be far far worse.
Oh,
now. Now the one I got the biggest clip out of the biggest
clip I'm sorry, the biggest. It's okay. I'd like that to get
the biggest kick out of this when Judy says something in the
form of a question and then Al Gore feels obliged to interrupt
her because there is Is this thing going on us? And it's
actually he gives her a scolding for saying something that you
can't say anymore on. Oh, and he knows that you can't say it on
pbs newshour. You can't say it anywhere. You can't suggest that
there's any alternative to his thesis. Oh, no, no, sorry. And
he'll tell you what one
does, you know, a number of conservatives, other scientists
are saying these dire future predictions are just not borne
out by evidence. But the other thing is the political will hold
on, hold on. Let
me stop you there when you say other scientists, no.
These are the wrong scientists. Is that what I'm going to hear?
He's going
to now give her a lecture about why she made a mistake and she
should be scolded first. Even suggesting and now you're going
to hear a number that we like to talk we like to see our numbers
about 9077 98 is where I like climate scientists 90 This 90
that all these everything, Gore has taken it up to a new level.
stop you there when you say other scientists, not really,
there, there are a few there are a few outliers, but you know 99%
of the scientific community Anatel oh my goodness, you know,
99 plus percent of the scientific community is aligned
on these objectives and wow
oh, it just let me just give you this just just for now. I
disagree. I think the Al Gore stuff was dynamite.
Now here's the here's the thing that is he with this. What
really bothers me he does detail knowing is bullshit. 99% of the
entire scientific community, or no overnight snipers, this
999 plus 99 places.
And he laughed and he does his little tail in the middle
knowing it's a lie. Yeah, he knows it's a lie.
We will reach 100% If we have to kill every last one of them.
And so he goes but then he does this little trick at the end
which I got I was totally disgusted by this does not this
is just ridiculous. This isn't the part three of this is
aligned
on these objectives. You still have some people who say the
earth is flat and not round, but you don't give them equal time
and saying some people say round some people say flat
Yeah, so sick
don't give them equal time. Ah, don't give any dissenters equal
time Shut up slave to shut up anyway.
So now this last clip is my last clip. These are all nice and
short. This is him condemning Trump. And there's a tail in
here and I don't even know why so it I don't even bother
because by now you can spot these a mile away. And and
here's the tail and here's him discussing Trump.
His proposal is literally insane. And his reaction to the
scientific community's warnings is an outlier reaction. It's it
making the US come off like a rogue nation and
yeah, we're a rogue nation.
Yeah. Ah ah,
this guy needs to be a necrotising Hey, how
about that word about fact that he's even on with this blather.
And then he's obviously to me lying through his teeth. Is just
like it was it was a 12 minute segment on the NewsHour That was
uncalled for unjustified it's it was just ridiculous it had to do
with the IPCC report but of course of course he gave him
this there's grounds there's little been nervous laugh in the
middle of things unbelievable. That was that anyway that's my
elbow are very good that I'll
just keep it with the agenda 2030 and climate change for one
last one I've got here the this most recent hurricane Michael
came out of nowhere 48 hours to develop them was was in and then
it just died away. It was in a very awkward place. The
Panhandle This is very uncommon for anything like that to happen
up there. In fact, I think we got an email from
one of our producers
don't have it here.
But the
there's something I said jokingly Oh, well you know, it's
time for the midterms. We got some elections going on. We got
the oh wait. We have the global warming report report is out. We
need to create a hurricane All right. Flip on heartburn. Let's
do it here. But the here is what's interesting. This is
local radio guy think Neil boots. He was or he was low. Go
from the area. And this is from his radio show.
I went to high school in the Florida Panhandle. Pensacola
went through a couple of hurricanes while I was there, so
mild that we could water ski in the bayou when the hurricane was
going on. I know these towns of Panama City and destin in Mexico
beach, I cannot believe the devastation that has occurred.
The third most powerful hurricane Michael to ever hit
the shoreline of the United States. A lot of people are
suffering a lot of people hurting very badly. I hope you
can find the time to help somebody out there. The state of
Florida is going to need some help to you see, the Panhandle
is a strong conservative area. It played very big in the 2000
election when they were calling the election for George W. Bush
before the polls were even closed. I wonder how many votes
that cost? But now with the election, what 25 days away?
Will the infrastructure be there for those people in the
panhandle to vote in the Florida elections? You have Rick Scott
running against Ben Nelson who richly deserves to be put out to
pasture. He's done nothing. And you have this Andrew Gilliam guy
running against Ron DeSantis, Andrew Gillum, friend of Bernie
Sanders,
friends, Andrew go, and that's one of the biggest contested
races that's going on right now. Everyone's talking about this
Gollum guy. And so this freak storm once in a century storm
happens there. And he rightly points out, they may not even
have infrastructure to vote there. Ah, coincidence? I think
not. So interesting.
Coincidence?
I think not. It's, it's one of those things just go.
Ah, well, there's a couple of things going on. I should
mention my my new voters guide. Yes, I
looked at your voters guide.
I have if anybody from California has for California is
only I have a direct.org/voter single Jew voter guide, I should
probably put up a second page hold on
hold on voter guide is not dot htm.
Yes. How did you know? It's dot htm guess the modern way of
doing give us the URL again. dvorak.org/voter guide dot htm
and
that's the modern way of doing it.
Yeah. Why is that?
Because it has less letters
I was waiting two days for that answer. You didn't let me down?
Well, you know the funny thing about htm vs. HTML is htm came
came out of Microsoft because
Microsoft couldn't couldn't handle any more couldn't handle
a Forex the four
characteristics of that era. You could not ever if you had an
image that was image dot jpg. Yeah, just what I don't get it I
can't do I can open it to be jpg.
And I think front page and all those programs output it in dot
htm in the beginning, they did
good TV joined and you if you go to Word and push,
press Save As Webpage Save As Webpage
it always saves as HTML. But you can save it dot HTML and then it
will save it that way nice reluctantly. So I decided just
to give in and do htm so anyways, voter guide dot htm
or.org. And it gets for the propositions only. Now
just so we understand that not every state has in fact Texas
has no propositions. We do have propositions at the county
level. But in California is a little different.
California is one of the few states that has these statewide
initiatives and propositions
and just as the kind of democracy that liberals want is
most votes wins the Proposition
one makes the yes exactly. And the proposition even though they
sue them and they do all this other stuff and in fact
proposition nine which was the proposition two and which is on
the list there a proposition to split the state into three
pieces was struck down by a court as an illegal proposition
even though all they went through all this trouble them
get it on the ballot and they picked it off the ballot just so
the court took it off the ballot yeah, there's so much for you
voters Shut up was so much for you for Tim Draper that says
proper haha Gotcha. And so I had I went through these problems
just because there's two or three of them, especially the
one that really got me is proposition eight. And
proposition eight is a is nothing more than that. Then
take it then repealing a recent gasoline tax. Let me get this
thing up or
get it up. Taking your law longer to get it up and then use
a dot htm proposition eight to get it right. Yeah. Oh no, I'm
sorry, six, six, okay six.
Proposition six there's all these ads vote no on six vote no
on six because all our infrastructure is gonna fall
apart. And we talked about this on the show once before this is
bull crap. Proposition six is nothing more than repealing a
tax grab gasoline tax which was just added to the gasoline
prices.
Right? And what was that added for that? I'm
sure it was to pay for steel money. Okay,
just making sure that California is still up to their old tricks.
Yeah. And so there's a huge so if that's what triggered me to
do this California proposition is no agenda voters guide with a
little cheat sheet at the bottom, you can take them
anywhere, I would recommend these. These are all and I've
looked at a couple of these other contradictory ones like
proposition 10 is another interesting one where it's about
about rents and its has its it seems to be they're trying to
vote it no because of the a bunch of real estate investment
trusts and other people with a lot of money that is going to
hurt them anyway. So there's that so I what I did was I got a
i This is the first year I did this because I know in
Washington state is all vote by mail. So I but you can do that
in California if you put in a request. And so I got my package
yesterday, my vote my official election ballot the material,
and it comes in this big envelope with all these ballots
real ballots, which I guess they put through the machine when
they get it back. This has got to be five to $10 mailing per
person. Wow. It's a real heavy package. It's got a lot of
printed material. I was stunned. Stunned, I tell you, you do have
to put your own postage on it. But so Beaune always vote by
mail. I mean, wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait a minute.
You have to put your own postage on it.
I don't. Yeah. It's not postage paid? No. If it was US
government, and that's voter suppression. Really? Yeah,
maybe? Well, they should pay for it as I get. I have mail from
banks that say no postage necessary.
It says if additional postage required, I
understand. But that's voter suppression. You need actual
money to do that kind of voting, you need stamp money. I don't
think the reason I bring that up is because Texas has always I
was doing some of this, you know, based upon what you were
doing. And I wandered off into some other spot. And I found out
that you know, Texas suppresses everybody because we have voter
ID laws. If you do not have an ID which is recognized which is
quite an extensive list of photo ID you can come in with a check,
a government check a utility bill, anything like that will
allow you to vote. So I don't know about all this. It's it's
hurting black people because they don't have ID Oh, you need
a government check. I think you know, not now it's by the way. I
mean, that it's the whole statement is racist, then, you
know, minorities can't get it because they don't because they
know they don't have an ID they can't go to the DMV. But I
presume if you're thinking that way they do have a government
check.
That Well, we've already debunked
this with the black community would did a number of videos on
hey, we all have IDs. Yes, course we're not
stupid. For Texas. I am.
So the the main thing is there's no props. But Austin has
propositions we have a $950 million bond. And I'm voting
against all pieces of it. And I'm voting against Mayor Steven
Adler, who I think is just a weak douchebag. He is not. I
mean, for example, our we have $250 million for it. Here comes
low cost housing, affordable housing. No, this has never
worked in Austin. Never ever and if it would work, it would
become an instant ghetto. There's nothing in there for the
homeless. There's nothing for what's going to happen with this
huge influx of people. Transportation is no no great
ideas. So I'm voting against all of it. And mainly Steven Adler,
our fine mayor of Austin. Beta, right beta male extraordinaire.
Now, as you know, I'm really I'm really irked about the scooter
situation. And I have an update for you. And I believe that
these companies, these Silicon Valley companies in their
arrogance, because they are arrogant Cox have made a huge
mistake. They've underestimated a massive point of their
business models. So to reiterate, these are the
electric scooters that are dropped into a city without any
coordination with the city to gain market share to be the
first one to do it, and you have a smartphone, you can ride
around with it. We've had Austin City Limits this these past two
weekends, ACL, lots of people riding the scooters, I want to
say I'm very pro electric scooter. I think it's a
fantastic mode of transportation. But Mayor Adler,
we do need to have some rules. And we need to hold these
companies accountable. When you know when people are driving
over people on sidewalks, people are getting hurt unnecessarily.
The regulations are unclear people can't access, you know,
there's always the wheelchair access, these things are parked
everywhere thrown about. And you've done a very poor job.
He's done a very poor job of anything to do with that. But
San Francisco is in this case, an interesting model for Austin.
What they did is they have now sanctioned at the bylaw this
okay, we now the city's transit agency has said you know what,
we're going to let electric scooters back onto our streets.
But only if you adhere to our regulations. And they had a hole
and a habit in the show notes. You can take a look at it, you
know, you have to have you know, certain the scooters have to
adhere to certain specifications. But also you
need people on the ground who were able to assist people. And
the eight companies bid for this. And it wasn't like they
were just going to choose one. They said okay, you have to get
a rating fair, poor, poor, fair, good, excellent. You know, if
someone wants to helmet I can do it. So one company actually will
provide you one. And what they did is the guys who were in
early, the early birds, so to speak, didn't get permission.
And they're out there incense because this is Silicon Valley.
Well, we're we're Uber we bought this bike company, we put it in
first we should be on the streets of San Francisco. But
this is where they made a mistake. They thought just like
the car model, where you just flood every city with Ubers.
They thought they could do the same with scooters. But the
thought the process thought process they they made the
mistaken is the scooters are not owned by individuals who are
driving around the seat Streets of San Francisco or Austin
already. They're your property and therefore they can be
impounded, they can be forbidden and your your model of going in
and flooding the market is not working. Now it's smaller guys,
local companies, although arguably those kinds some of the
lime and bird are local runs. Yeah, possibly. Then they may be
acquired, but I like it and they've made a mistake by
thinking that they that they're God Almighty, they can throw
anything they want. That's really the thing that that made
me the most angry is what do you think you are? Like let's just
it's a good idea, but let's do it properly and not just throw
shit into everyone's Street, which is now happening in
Copenhagen even so I will give props to the city of San
Francisco for doing that. I thought that was really good and
I like watching these assholes squirm
because I really despise them.
Well I read an article about this whole thing and I don't
think people understand it that apparently the reason I was
gotten onto this Jags so enthusiastically is like about a
90 day payout to breakeven on the on the scam it's like 90
days to break even to break even on what on the cost of the whole
adventure
per scooter or just in general the whole
no this the scooter deal 90 days yeah something like 90 days you
put the scooters out there and with the depreciation and the
taxes and this and that and the other thing as I said that yes
90 days later you're now making money. Yeah, even if the
scooters are thrown in the bay you're making money right?
Well,
again, I'm not I'm for it. I'm not against it. I'm
not I'm not for it.
Okay, well I've in Austin I think it's actually a great idea
but you have to have some rules and Mayor Adler as it just is
not doing it.
Well and one of these guys goes bomb and by and knocks on your
ass. Tell me what you think.
Before we take a break, I want to have the unhinged Trump hater
of the week. This is a voice we have not heard from before. I
would say it counted rivals Rob Reiner. Very, very close. And
something I'm noticing actually I've been I've made because I
was going to bring it up. I've cost more than usual on today's
show. But this seems to be the norm with Trump hate. Is that
look at Kathy Griffin. Look at Robert De Niro, who I think
Robert De Niro really gave license to everybody who hates
Trump to use profanity. And suddenly profanity or cuss words
can be completely legitimate and can be very effective. If you're
very you're much better at that than I am. I have Tourette so
that's why, you know so I think about it happens. And so this
guy I liked as a as an actor, comedian Robert Klein was caught
outside a restaurant. And I think he's our unhinge, Trump
hater of the week.
How about the Russians interfered in our election and
he colluded with them? There was lots of proof of it. They had a
meeting, didn't they? How about 11? How about 22 people have
been invented have been indicted. 11 Russians, Mr.
Manafort, although these people have indicted their pleaded
guilty. They pled guilty. He's any other administration. If a
man so close to the president pled guilty for taxes, he'd be
gone. Like what if Obama had fucked a pornographic actress?
I love how he says fuck, but won't say porn star. Somehow he
gets a hold of himself. And oh, I have to say that nicely. I
have to say pornographic actress because I don't want to offend
the porn community or something like that. That's very
interesting.
Like, what if Obama had fucked a pornographic actress? For 10
years before being in office, excuse me, a few months after
his wife gave birth, this is our president United States years
before he suppose who gives a fuck? That's what he is.
Well, that's your problem. That's your problem. That's
wonderful. He's a great guy. You couldn't even introduce me
properly at Mar a Lago and add a gig and you'd like,
now we find the true source of his anger. I guess Trump flubbed
the name Robert Klein at a at a Mar a Lago gig. That's
wonderful.
He's a great guy. You couldn't even introduce me properly at
Mar a Lago when I had a gig and you like, Trump? I do. I like
what I like. I like that tax cut. And you're like those
judges? Good for you. You're an American. You think I'm out of
control typical Trump voter wait a minute what America has become
Well, Robert Klein has been out of the picture for so long, but
he has a notorious kind of hard to work
with guy. Let's put it that way.
He seems like a gym I mind hanging out with.
I'm going to show us by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun

But a lot of you also on our subscriptions, I cannot stress
how important these are. These are smaller amounts, but they
come they're recurring. And we really appreciate that, because
that's just kind of a little base that we have, which is
really nice. We could grow that a lot more. So please consider
supporting the show that way. I wanted to mention I got this
other weird gift that I wonder if you had gotten them from Ryan
Show altar. It's, I guess he works at a valve and casting
company.
Oh, yes. Yeah, he in fact, he sent me a nice note. He's a
third generation or second generation of a guy who said he
said he was a very pleasant note.
Let me just explain what I have. Because I didn't have a note
there was no note dealt with Justice card. And so it's, it
says Fresno vows and I have an ice cream scoop and a bottle
opener. And they're very cool. Um, they really look
interesting. And I presume they're made from valves. No, no
that made they look like they're from Valve handles.
No, they're cast, explained the note actual castings. And
it may be a handled part of the casting, but the way you make
castings is you make a mold and then you put sand around. It's a
long process by us to inspect these places. So I wrote talked
about and he said that he was listening to the show. And when
I was bitchin as I do will very rarely says, you know, I heard
what you said about the second and third generation kids not
taking any interest in what their dad was doing or the
business that they started or especially the third generation
has been my experience and they just say screw it we don't want
to have anything to do with it. We want to go off and do
something else you know, we want to we want to become ourselves
or they want to find something he said he took it to heart and
he says he said his dad's business was was being a big
valve casting and operation valves I really need to do
manhole covers, I don't know what but they can cast things
like those what you got to two gifts. And those are most of
these foundries are called foundries is that when the
foundry, these foundries usually make a number of gimmicks that
they give away to their customers. And I think those are
okay. It's to show the style of the casting. It's like you know,
interesting. And so yeah, there's those are both nice. The
ice cream scoop is particularly it's sharp to was designed for
parlors, you know? Yes, it's the flat kind of a trot trowel like
thing where you dig in there and you can get
a tribal Yes, trowel. That is the right word. And
so he said and he's he went back and he's decided to take it very
seriously. And now he's entrenched as a guy running a
foundry which by the way is got to be a kick. Well,
okay, remind me I have a note from a teacher right after we're
done with the segment because people do listen to us and take
things to heart even though
I'm glad he took it to heart because it's a must have been
eating at him because it seems to me that if you just happen to
mention this a coincidence is a cosmic thing. I guess. You just
have to say son that just sounds to trigger some way and I was
just thinking about that.
Right but that's how the how this how the value network
operates. The value network operates in strange ways. We
don't always understand it, but it does and again, do what we
do. We do. Thank you all very much for supporting the show.

Your ring, your certificate and your sealing wax. Thank you
divorce.org/and A. Here's that note I wanted to read well, I
had a note, I had a note for the teacher. Yeah. And now why can't
I find my note all of a sudden?
This is bad. Hold on. Well, oh yes, here we go.
This is from a beers a teacher. Adam. I'm a high school English
teacher in Canada Navia. I just wanted to thank you for
referencing the short story titled Harrison Bergeron, by
Kurt Vonnegut. After hearing about it on your podcast, I
immediately looked into it and had my students read and
deconstruct the short story. The results were amazing. I just
want you to know how aware students are about this pendulum
swing of hyper equality and its impact. My students clearly
articulated a variety of opinions about how all these
social justice groups are actually creating a more
divisive society. In the end. I was proud of how well my
students could see the errors in society and discuss them in non
judgmental environment. Unlike the universities today, openly
and freely, there is hope for the future. Ha your show and the
work you and John are doing is having an impact directly and
indirectly on more people than you know keep up the good work.
Man, we wish
Buzzkill.
Now here is a die I don't know if this is real. It was one of
our producers sent it to me it's apparently picked it up with a
microphone off of a KU Ow, KU ow a broadcast and when they had
their little IDs, this is a public broadcasting NPR kind of
a station. And this is what the what he heard. And it was like
and by the way, it seems to me to be a violation of their
advertising policy because there was a call to action in this in
this advertisement, that one of those role was sponsored by
Social does the underwriter and listen to this
you wo W FMP your W Tumwater and KQW Bellingham support for KU ow
comes from the Central Intelligence agencies
Directorate of operations where mission and impact meet to
address global challenges. Learn more at cia.gov/careers Discover
the Truth. It's six o'clock.
The payoff is great. Here's how I gotta pay off boss. Discover
the Truth. That's what it's gonna be. I think it's real. I
told you that Gina McCaskill was out recruiting she was doing a
speech at some university and the whole thing was a
recruitment session. Now they've got recruiters they're ready to
they're signing people up left and right.
Well, they have to, I mean, people do in 10s of 1000s of
people work for the CIA. So they have to hire him from someplace.
Yeah, so of course, of course. I just thought it was strange that
a public broadcasting station would use them as their
underwriter
will discover the truth.
Great Discover the Truth. We've got it here it's or create the
truth is whatever you want CIA lots of capabilities. So last
night, just disgusted with the new news broadcasts. I wound up
switching to HBO Niall, I trust a lot on HBO. Unlike Amazon and
Netflix, because even though it may not be something I want with
HBO has quality stuff. It's top notch. So there's a couple of
things I watch they wanted to discuss. First of all, I have to
say hands down. Are you familiar with Flight of the Conchords? Do
you know these guys? No, that's about 10 years ago, they had a
show. That's two guys from New Zealand. And they play mainly
guitar, but lots of different instruments. And they have very
funny lyrics. And it's a comedy bit. And it's it was very
successful, and they've come back and they've done a special
and I just want to mention, you have to watch this. Because at a
certain point, they're doing a song and they both break into a
recorder solo. But I mean, like, like Pete Townsend style, so you
have to watch this because I was crying. It was so good. And I
thought of us obviously like there's an idea for us.
Put the record on the
road who and then to record her solo.
You should see the Flight of the Conchords. Okay, I'll
check it out.
So that was on HBO then, even though they aired in a different
order, because I was on the on the Roku box sending all of my
information to Roku headquarters. I had Bill Maher
wanted to watch that. But I first watched the very first
video version of a podcast. This is very exciting for me as the
pod father. Oh, yes.
This is the pod save America. Yes, I did put it on the HBO
they decided to put it on
the HBO. That's correct. And I was excited for them. And I have
heard of this podcast. I have listened to it. I believe it is
healed. But podcasts? No, no, it is to the former Obama speech
writers. They're both in this podcast. There's one guy who's
kind of the comedian. They have a girl in there. And so they
they actually say good morning zoo a little bit. They took the
whole podcast and then they do it on stage in front of a live
audience. It was very, very animated. But this podcast is
pretty much one thing and one thing only including a little
edited segment on how to canvass. It is completely a
democrat party, Democratic Party funded voter drive from
beginning to end and not in making it's not a news show. It
is a show to get you to go vote for Democrats and to hate
Republicans and to particularly hate Donald Trump.
I was telling you this right. So I have two clips from it. I was
telling you earlier how I feel that
in most people you and I'm not that way I have. I have some
mental issues Tourette's, neurological issue, I should
say. But in general, most people have a filter where they don't
cuss too much. They don't use the F word too much. You know,
they once in a while, maybe. But I believe that barrier has been
broken. And it happened. It's certainly licensed was given to
everyone. After De Niro's said, Fuck Trump.
Well, can I also mentioned something? I think that the
excessive cussing you hear on podcasting is a is a form not
not necessarily the pure form but a form of virtue signaling.
That Hey, look at me, I can khus khus, khus khus cars, because
I'm free because I'm free of cost.
Yes. Yes,
that's part of it. But you know, even Howard Stern had this when
he first went on Sirius XM coming from public airwaves. And
everyone was f this F that. And then they kind of had to, had to
reset themselves because there was too much freedom. And the
show was really sucking. It wasn't funny. And he figured
that out very quickly. But there has a threshold amongst angry
Americans, I'll just call them angry. I don't know if they're
left or right, but has been surpassed. And the F word is
being used everywhere. I'm gonna give this one example in this
clip. This was right at the beginning of the show with the
girl. I forget her name, and we'll just have a listen, Aaron.
Normally, I
wouldn't associate the word strategy with Donald Trump, but
he's been using this line quite a bit and other Republican
candidates have been talking about, you know, George Soros
funded left wing mobs for the last couple of weeks. What do
you think the Republican goal is here?
Well, first of all, I think the fact that this is something
they're bringing up this close to the election is a reflection
of the fact that they're scared as fuck. And the reason and the
reason that I think they're very scared as fuck, if you will, as
the old saying goes, is is that people Who are being fucked over
are realizing that they're being fucked over and they're not
going to fucking take it anymore
those people, those people who are being fucked over in most in
a lot of cases are women, people of color immigrants, people who
are marginalized, and I don't think it's any mistake
isn't the definition of being marginalized getting fucked
over? I mean, you could actually have just replaced fucked over
with marginalized throughout your little speech
grants people who are marginalized. And I don't think
it's any mistake, that Republican messaging which
originates from Donald Trump, at this point, uses words that
those people would also use to insult women and people of color
like women are used to being told that they're unhinged,
they're hysterical. They're crazy. And I think that the
President and people that are in his circle using those words is
a reflection of their kind of inherent sexism and racism.
Yes. Oh, yes.
Yes, you say unhinged, you're sexist and racist,
even though that's not a word that are ordered originated with
the Republican side of the debate.
So I'm not going to play the second clips. I want to move to
something else, but they have this game called Okay, stop,
which is pretty much what our show is, except the way they do
it. Well, I'll show you how they do it. Now it's time for a game
we call Okay, stop. Works. Roll
a clip and when the panel can say okay, stop at any point to
comment. While some citizen Florida's panhandle is still
reeling after Hurricane Michael Trump took time from his busy
schedule of holding rallies to finally do the right thing. Have
lunch with Kanye West. Good folks, and CNN had a lot to say
about it. I have to tell ya. So
then what they do is they basically play the clip, but
anyone on the panel can say, Okay, stop. And it's really bad.
It's like five minutes of bad. They don't even they don't even
get to Don Lemon, even really saying anything outrageous. It's
just stupid. This is really, really low rent, low quality,
not well thought out. And
do except for the cursing. You take the cursing out and they
adjusted themselves. It sounds like a really very mediocre PBS
show that you hear on Saturdays kind of like wait, wait, don't
stop me. Yes, yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait,
don't tell me or whatever it's called. Yeah.
And there's another one. There's two or three of these shows on
PBS that were like that. And they're all kind of they're
glib. glib, they're condescending, they're
patronizing. And they said that very No at all kind of left wing
ish. That concludes our very brave, I find them boorish.
Yes, that concludes our review of pod save America on HBO. Now,
Bill Maher, this was one of the best shows I have seen. I have a
number of clips. It was really truly outstanding. Every type of
personality was represented. But it started off with Omarosa, who
of course is promoted her book, ah, she lives she does live and
she had a lot to say. And before I, before I mentioned that I was
I watched the whole show, Bill Maher, I think is has something
going on. He may not be well, he he has the kind of like that Big
Al Sharpton head on an oversized suit that you can tell is ill
fitting because he's really skinny underneath and his hands
are really big. But the rest of his body isn't it's less in
proportion than usual. And I'm a little concerned. He might be
like, couldn't
be this fit. That'd be could it be this suit itself does making
him look well,
then he really needs to work on that because it's just it makes
him look sick. You know, the pencil neck kind of thing. So
I'm getting worried
or worried. I bring down a diet.
Well, he can slow down now. So he brings on Omarosa Omarosa and
I only pulled two clips, the one that I picked up on the panel.
Oh, no, she was the main guest. She was the special guest and
and she was really like Miss thang coming out. I'm sure it's
racist of me to say but And so Bill Maher had a lot of
questions. And he and I and of course he what he wanted is,
Hey, what is Trump really like? And you'll hear in here? She
says something. She refers back to Bill Maher getting fired
after 911 I just want to reiterate for our international
producers. Two weeks after 911 Bill Maher had a show I think it
was was it on Fox stations even?
No no, I believe it was on AI ABC ma'am. It was ABC. I believe
it was on ABC and it was called politically incorrect and is
pretty much the same show he's doing now.
Yes. And it was a great show to watch it but it was ahead of its
time. But then he said I thought it was good. And then never
liked it. Okay, I thought it was good. And two weeks after 911
there was a discussion and everyone's talking about these
cowards, these cowards, these cowards who killed all these
people, these cowards and he said I'm paraphrasing, they
weren't cowards. They flew themselves into buildings, so
you can't call him a coward. And he was off the air. No,
no, no, it's worse than that. Oh, just to add to your
paraphrase I don't have it either. But it went more like
this car car cars just what you said and he says, I think people
that fire missiles from ships off into the air Adair. Oh,
right. You're right. We're the cowards we the American military
or the coward.
Yeah, that was worse than us. But yeah.
He got yanked, the show was gone. And he didn't surface for
years. I have no idea what happened to him until he kind of
came back on HBO. And it didn't track him. So she makes
reference to this. And I in a way appropriately him off. Oh,
yeah. Oh, yeah, of course. Of course. Have a listen. We're
gonna find out what Trump was really like.
I'm just saying just because somebody's nice to you. I mean,
you certainly must have known he was a giant liar. I don't think
his personality changed. We know it didn't change when he got to
the White House. So you must have seen the racism and the
hatred and the lying before.
You know, it's easy to say that Hindsight is 2020 years ago, I
didn't know that Donald Trump was going to be as insane and
unhinged. And he as he is. I mean, he's
worse than when you knew him on The Apprentice
greatly. I mean, even just his his vocabulary. He's like six
words that he says now. Huge, very soon. Great. Back in the
board strongly, strongly back in the portrait, not a word,
but okay. So, okay, so, so back in the day, how
many did he know he knew a lot more than
just like Coco the gorilla. He knew 500. But you know, I never
didn't like you, you're fine. But I when I the one thing I
didn't like is when NAFTA you guys got elected and you said
that thing about everyone's now gonna have to bow down to Donald
Trump. That's not what the way we're talking. Oh,
you have all people know about saying that, like that one dumb
thing that everybody just it was this the stuff?
I mean, you're not the first guest this ride that exists. I
could actually argue the merits of it, but we'll move on.
He's still not over it. I could argue the merits of it, but
we'll just move on you stupid woman.
Well, you know, I think what really bugged him was that he
knuckled under the opinion was valid. He can say what he wants.
Right? But he didn't he cow told himself sorry. I mean, it was
almost like a Kathie Lee Griffin after she held the the had to
fake head of Trump all bloody. You mean cash heavy all had the
grilled cheese afterwards trying to get her life back and then
she regretted doing it. It's not
Kathie Lee Griffin. Kathie Lee Griffith. Oak. Kathy Griffin.
Yeah, well, I'm like, wow, I'd had a weird picture. All right.
But yes, you're right.
The wrong Kathie Lee,
he's pissed off that he did that he bowed down to every deal.
There it is. The bow down to Trump and he had to bow down to
everybody else. He's double pissed off about it.
I could actually argue the merits of it, but we'll move on.
No, no,
but it was stupid. It was dumb. And I said in the height of
campaign hyperbole it you know, certainly I don't believe that
everybody's going to bow down. But at the time, I had an
audience of one. When you work for Trump to entertain the
audience. You're trying to entertain him.
Okay. That's the honest answer. The audience of one is is what
so much of this country is off track about. All of Fox News is
for an audience of what
have you seen the Fox News ratings? And audience of one?
This is this is delusional thinking. That Fox News is there
only for Donald Trump?
Yes. And he they don't even do a very good job of catering to him
as far as I am concerned. No,
but now come some really good insight.
What are
Jared and Ivanka like? And in this is extremely interesting.
But I think what Omar Omarosa implies here and what she says
is, is very, very disgusting.
Okay. All right. What about Ivanka? And Jared, what is
the White House kin and White House Barbie?
Everybody does. Barbie are they smart?
She's making a face like
I mean, Jared is the one that is the most inscrutable to me. I
can't get because he doesn't speak. He's the one I would be
most curious to have dinner with because he might be smart.
No
because his political career started when Donald Trump
decided to announce the law. I know that right. And so he he's
that guy in the room that thinks he's the smartest guy in the
room. He has absolutely no idea. We
know he's not knowledgeable about the field.
Is he smart? Yes. He didn't even know basic political jargon. And
when you try to correct him, he gives you that kind of posture.
Like, are you a woman of color really trying to tell me
something? And so the sad thing about it about Jared is that he
doesn't know how stupid he sounds when he's talking and
Bernie, that's very interesting. Ivanka is really hot for her. Is
that a thing? You know, he said, I'm just gonna say he said
his daughter. It's pretty.
It's pretty disgusting on a daily basis.
With Pat her on the high, he would kiss her on the lips, he
would have very long periods of time.
play that game. Did he Did she say he wanted to sleep with
his daughter? Yeah, of course. He does what she said. I know.
Of course he didn't. He said.
He said I Yeah. If I wasn't his father, I date her. If I was
younger, suddenly he was about dating her. Yes. But he never
said he wanted to sleep with her. No. She just throws that
out. And it's so fine with everybody. And everyone's all
y'all y'all. That's what he said. Yeah, I guess so. Wow.
Right. I mean, it was pretty talking awkward. It's like one
of those old 976. In front of people. Yeah. Absolutely.
What was what did she do? Excuse me? I need a little drink. What
was your reaction to that she
she just loved it. She loves being daddy, love girl. Love
being daddy's little girl. And she would always say, my daddy
and you should correct yourself. My father thinks that and I'm
like, Where does accent come? I come from no matter where you
go. 15 years ago? Wasn't very potty mouth. Maybe she cleaned
it up for the White House. But
okay. Well, I thank you for putting up with my questions.
I think that's going pretty far. Really implying that there's
insists going on between the president
on the list? Seems Yes, of course,
the list, but she's brave enough to go and do it. It's on the
list. It's got to be done. So I'm gonna stay with politically
incorrect because he had three guests on which the most
interesting was this. It was this Muslim guy named Ryan and
it's it's relevant in this brown. He's Muslim Reihan Salam,
he's the editor of the National Review. Is he does that make him
a right winger? I don't know what the National Review is.
Well, this is the guy that I've pointed out before that has
replaced Brooks. Oh, Brooks and shield Friday news rundown while
I like this guy, and he is much better than Brooks. He's he's
not quite as forward as he could be. Could be a little mean.
Brooks is supposed to be the nice guy looks is the right the
right wing of the Brooks and Dunn,
supposedly the right wing, but he hates Trump and he doesn't
like to moderate Republicans and he's kind of an old fashioned
moderate type. But I think he's a Democrat. And he said I think
he said he was a Democrat once and we caught him on it with a
clip. But beside the point, when this guy does Salim guy comes
on, he is far superior to Brooks and far superior to shields, he
should be irregular doing that bit with somebody else besides
Brooks. I mean, besides Brooks, and besides shields they need to
new guys.
Well, I have one clip and it'll be the final one of this triage
where this guy is just he's really smart. Really good and
just slams people without them even realizing is fantastic. So
also on the panel was what was her name? I just seen her on
book TV.
Okay, I'm so
sorry. I don't remember what her name was. But very angry woman.
The book is about angry women. It that's part of the title is
you know that the validity of America's angry women. i Sorry,
I wish I'd had her name written. I don't know what happened.
Also, though, is Edie Glubb Jr. He is a professor at Princeton
University. And he's black. So we have the white woman who
wrote the book about women being angry. We have the Muslim who is
the the right winger in this case and we have you would think
the the the impartial professor, the Princeton professor was
black. So this is your point. Wait,
do we know this guy's actually a Muslim? Because there was this?
Yes. It
was made clear on the show. Okay, good. Yeah, in the
introduction, and he talks about some Muslim stuff as well. So we
start RT off and this is what really caught my eye. We had the
situation I think you brought it up on the last show about Scott
Kelly astronaut who had tweeted, well you tell it you there was
your story.
He said he just used it Winston Churchill quote, and it was
slammed by the twit, Twitter verse and a bunch of lefties
going on and on about how Churchill was a horrible racist
pig. And then they went on and and the guy knuckled under,
okay, I'm sorry, Churchill is a bad person. And this is part of
the whole tearing down the statues and anyone who's white
as a creep.
So Bill Maher, who is always been against political
correctness, as we just said, his first show was called
politically incorrect and, and he brought the story up, I cut
out all the part of him explaining it. And he was he's
like, What the hell is this? This is an astronaut. Why? Why?
What is this political correctness about? And he had
the right panel to explain it.
This is the guy who saved us from the Nazis. And you know,
he's he was a fighter pilot, married to Gabby Gifford who was
shot and bravely continues on and somebody and people on
Twitter and no one denounces this and he has to make an
apology. This is when the Trump people go, yes, you people are
too fragile to be in control of the government. No, no. What?
What was the case? What if
this is the black professor and chiming in will be Rebecca
Traister. She is the the white woman the author was the case.
That that, that he realized that the invocation of Winston
Churchill wasn't consistent with what he vowed that he didn't
know everything about Churchill. And then he realized that
Churchill in 1943, sanctioned right the starving of Indians in
in Bengal, he realized, in fact that Churchill was in fact, a
vehement ly committed racist to the Imperial project, he
realized that Churchill did not represent us. So what I mean by
this, I'm gonna say this really quickly. For those who have been
caught under the foot of history, you just can't simply
invoke the mandate of history as a reason to accept certain
figures. Of course, you can't just simply mandate. Lincoln
had just just listened to him because he's explaining not only
explaining why Churchill was a bad guy, he's explaining what
political correctness actually is. The act of politically
correcting people this is this is very important. But
of course, you can't just simply mandate. So if so, Lincoln comes
to me, I can I can embrace Abraham Lincoln. Right, I can
embrace his view of democracy. But then I realized that Lincoln
held the view that white people matter more than black people.
Now, once I understand Lincoln fully, I can then embrace him on
my own terms, but I cannot accept Lincoln, just because the
West declares him as great. I have to accept him like,
every time I bring up like, I have to apologize
for what he's saying in that moment.
What we write off is politically, political
correctness is correcting a record that has been too simple
that we haven't been taught the complexities that the power that
we so often are taught to celebrate or admire purely is
built on inequity and bias that is not often revealed to us. And
it's a matter of correction. And the other problem is that when
we focus on these things like the Twitter controversy around
hailing, hailing Winston Churchill, we are we are taking
part in representing this as left activism that this is the
left wing when in fact there are strikes going on strikes for
higher wages strikes against Central but we we focus on the
flare ups on Twitter and not on the record numbers of women and
people of color running for office in the first for the
first time.
Alright, so she, she's just a little I'll just say it
hysterical. But but she makes the point. Now I understand the
black man, I'm just going to call it the way I literally saw
with my own eyes, the black man professor says, You can't
embrace people unless you know everything about them, then you
can embrace them when you know the good and the bad, which I
think is every person has good and bad. And then she says
That's right. You have to correct everybody. Political
Correctness is correcting everybody on the record. So you
make sure you're balanced.
I think Dave did. He also used to or he or she was word hailing
Churcher. All he did was quote Churchill, with a two liner that
had something to do with what he was up to. It had nothing. It
wasn't hailing Churchill. He was just doing he put the random
quote in there and didn't put Churchill's name on it. If
someone wants said, quote, unquote, would these would this
have happened? What is this this? This is really very
targeted. If you asked me this is extremely fishy, because it's
what
political correctness is. Even a quote is no longer valid, unless
you virtue signal by saying something like he may not have
been the best man But he said this see, then it would have
been okay. Because you have to constantly in political correct,
America, both sides, and this comes up in a minute, you have
to correct the record is has to be correct. Now, this takes
place now rayhaan What
I was just thinking to
myself what needs to be corrected? Oh, everything cares
about Churchill's history in the 1930s. He said this, this point
knit quote, and this guy just quoted him.
I'm not arguing I'm not arguing that I'm saying this is what it
is, this is what's happened.
And that but I'm just just so baffled, baffled by me so
extremely upset about all these little things. There. This is
ant Fucking
yes. And it gets better. So now, this is just a quickie. This the
first time Rohan Salam jumps in, and he says he's trying to
explain something like hold on a second. This is this is not
good.
Everyone in America feels like they're losing right now.
Democrats feel like they're losing Republicans feel like
they're losing. Democrats feel like they're locked out of
power. Republicans feel like they've lost the culture. And it
really is true. Maybe you know, you don't agree with that
perception. But there are people who really feel as though their
values are being phased they feel like hounded minority. And
as crazy as that might sound the people who disagree with them. I
think that feeling is real.
I think they're performing loss in a moment of victory.
I think it's deeply genuine. I think that people really do feel
a genuine sense of loss and a loss of cultural power. And
you're right to suggest that people think that political
power and the exercise of political power is one way to
push back against a culture that really does get lonely.
I think he's got he's gotten to something there. The culture,
loss of culture, yes, I think that's exactly what the
Republicans are feeling. They feel a loss of culture. Because
the culture in America, which is television, and movies, mainly,
is very left leaning. So they feel their philosophy. It's very
hateful loss of culture. And Democrats feel they've been
locked out of power. So he's making a good point. This is not
Bill Maher doesn't like this guy at all. By the way. He's just
there to provide some semblance. Now.
He won't be back then.
Well, I think he will. This is the final, the final clip, we're
gonna go back to the political correctness with Professor Eddie
Glaube. And you heard him in that first clip, he actually
said, you should know Don't interrupt me. He said that to
Muslim guy. Brown, Muslim guys calm, it's easy, black
professor, guy, white, angry woman, brown Muslim guy. And he
is going to now really tell you what his feeling is. And he
speaks in this case, I guess, on behalf of black America, which
this then he gets slammed by rayhaan Salaam gets slammed by
the black professor, you'll hear it. The guy comes back at the
end, our brown Muslim friend. And he puts them down and speak
so powerfully about the cult in America, the political cult, I
thought it was just one of the best things I've ever seen, not
just
I just find this really odd. And I find it odd for a couple of
reasons. One, I think we take the exaggerated example, to
dismiss the principle. So at the heart of political correctness
is this reality that this country is no longer a White
nation in the vein of Old Europe? Yes. So that means white
men, white straight men can't walk around saying whatever the
hell is on their mind. Yeah.
White straight men, old straight white men can't speak their
minds in this country.
Yeah, tell it to the podcast.
Yes. So that means white men, white straight men can't walk
around saying whatever the hell is on their mind. That's right.
White Man, shut up. Sorry. Scott Kelly can't say Oh, no.
Without a policy?
No, I take Scott Kelly. I take him to say that I don't I didn't
know everything about Winston Churchill. And Winston Churchill
probably doesn't represent what I've found. So part of what I'm
trying to get at is this. Right? The country is changing.
dramatic demographic shifts are happening to people or
incidents, you're because the culture is shifting. And one of
the things that shifted is that certain folk can't go around
saying but no.
I think it's really important to realize that people who are
white
men can't go around saying whatever they want without being
held to account. That is what political correctness is. You
can't just say something, if you're anything that you're
white, then you will be held to account and you will be read the
record as it is proper.
And I think it's really important to realize that people
who are most vulnerable to this are people of color who hold
dissenting opinions in their communities. These are people
who really feel silenced and they
look Some interesting moves.
It's actually also deeply true. There are lots of folks who feel
totally invisible because the college educated upper middle
income, people who serve a standards keeps talking about
the professor for people who play the category X, Y, or Z are
not necessarily representative of 100% of the people who belong
to these various categories. When you look at liberal
Muslims, for example, when you look at Muslims who are looking
at talking about, let's have more freedom, let's have more
secularism. These are folks who oftentimes feel silenced and
afraid. You see this in many other groups, too. I'm not
saying that the people have these dissenting opinions are
right. Many times they might be totally wrong. What I'm saying
is that they exist, and they're invisible in these spaces, and
this dry for status and prestige. I keep saying, Dr.
silences because a lot of folks
pursue into this conversation, because if you criticize Islam
at all the politically correct police will say you're a bigot,
including your Muslim and how you criticize
Islam. Well, of course, but just so part of what I'm trying to we
have the nuance, it all depends on whether your critique. Great,
that was a that was a nice move, in the sense that
he's he's did professors like okay, that was funny,
that was incredibly patronizing. Oh, it
gets he is patronizing this guy into the ground, and then the
brown Muslim comes back and just whips him with it.
Part of what happens in this context was pretty sincere. And
by the way, when he's doing that he's hauled he's patting his
hand. That was a very nice move. He was so patronizing. It was it
was really, really awkward.
The nuance, it all depends on whether your critique, great,
that was a, that was a nice move, in the sense that part of
what happens in this context was pretty sincere and sincere. But
part of what happens is the way in which a certain kind of
victim discourse can then be appropriate, so that you could
play because I think Republicans have mastered this pincer move.
On the one hand, they revel in the spoils of victory,
exercising Machiavellian power. And then when they get called
out for doing what they do, they clutch their pearls, and then
plays the victim,
which is what's happening around Cavanaugh. That is exactly the
dynamic. That is that is exactly the dynamic around Cavanaugh,
this is we have been attacked, and they're using it as leverage
to suggest that they are the victimized.
Okay, Bill, I just want to say there are two kinds of spirals
we have right now. You have rage spirals, and you have self
satisfaction spirals. And the self satisfaction spirals are
really powerful and addictive. You are a space where you're
affirm people cheer for you, when you say certain things. And
it's amazing. And it's addictive. And it's why
Republicans and Democrats both lose, because you have
Republicans who find themselves solely in their affirming space.
And you have lots of liberals who are in the exact same space.
That's what I think of as political correctness, whether
the right or the left, it's a self satisfaction spiral.
There you go. Burn.
Well, the guy definitely was that guy. That black guy was
Dick. Well, you know, the funny thing is, he was a total dick
and considered himself a great debater, yes. Because he could
do pull some of these tricks which are just low. When I was
going to Cal when I was a student, you know, 100 years
ago, like this, the same stuff, then it was the same stuff. This
is nothing even close to being new.
Interesting is the same kind of
this, this kind of condescending, and it was the
same kind of guy, very insecure. They're not very academic and
route. In reality, they have this is all taken from a bunch
of, you know, this is polemics from a bunch of radicals that
the bill
I errors and these types of people that did have this down
to a science, and it's just passed off to fact that it's
even taking place at the university level to this day,
with no dissents. And you get the one guy over there trying to
you know, defend himself even though he really didn't think it
was as effective as you apparently do.
It would maybe maybe it just looks better when you see the
whole thing on video as possible.
It was, you know, was not as it wasn't a butt slam. But that
guy, that black guy was just the worst of worst case scenario and
a woman she was just useless.
She's very angry. Well, it's
what she wrote a book on.
And she was she was it says, she
was angry. Like,
she was shaking. She was shaking, John, she
was shaking.
She was shaking this how mad she
was. And he is not going to she's not going to survive.
And I just seen her on on book TV. And I was like, wow, this is
interesting. Because you know, we have the Austen book fair
coming. If she comes, I want to go see her speak.
She's angry. Ya know, there's
a lot of angry women that are misogyny heard about Hillary so
misogynist.
You know, it's really it's a Little No, it's not. It's very
realistic. She's butthurt about Hillary and she's irked about it
and she doesn't see any reason why this all happened. She's
like a woman in green on her knees screaming at the top of
her lungs about Trump winning.
Right. That's pretty much it.
All right. Do you have any last last thoughts? I've
got this weird presentation about Stacey Abrams. I got
Cavanaugh misconduct reports. Oh, we got Judy and Mark and
Shields and Brooks is might be worthless. He's because we do
have this. We're getting closer to the midterms. So he might
want to hear what Brooks and shields on keiki and PBS have to
say about the election. And it's kind of interesting. We start
off with Judy and Mark analysis of the midterms.
The President it seems out on the campaign every single day,
Jen,
I may have accidentally grabbed the wrong one. Here we go.
So the President it seems out on the campaign every single day
jetting out to whether it's Tennessee or Pennsylvania or
another part of the country today, Mark, he's in Ohio trying
to energize the Republican vote the base trying to get them out.
Is it is it working? Do you think
Republicans feel it's working better than it did two or three
weeks ago, Judy? But I think what is remarkable about is how
constant it is. You said about energizing the base. It's about
inflaming people. Donald Trump's message is never about forging a
coalition reaching across the divide, trying to enlist the
majority. It's always about coming back to it's us against
them. And we may not be perfect, but boy, those other guys are
really bad. And and I think that's that's the message. It's
going to be a referendum as it is every midterm on the
president. And his numbers right now are just about the same
point where Barack Obama's were in 2010, when the Democrats had
known this defeat Bill Clinton's in 94, when the Democrats
suffered a big defeat, and 2006 George Bush's when the
Republicans lost control to Congress.
So they're sticking to this idea that they're going to be a big
right way or blue wave. But I don't think he goes out to
inflame anybody. You've heard his speeches you've been there.
Well, I mean, does it comedy act, isn't it?
Yes. But that's not it.
That's not presidential. So he's in
flaming people. I don't I don't believe this Trish, I think he's
wrong. So if you go, Well,
let me just say the way
Okay, so there's the,
the view of Trump inflaming his audience, and then being an
angry mob, which is, of course, what the Republicans accused the
Democrats of is based on Trump saying, Dianne Feinstein and the
crowd yelling, chanting, lock her up, lock her up. So they see
that as inflammation, and they see that as a mob, and I think
both are correct. In that case,
if you're going to interpret it from wide perspective, now,
here's where Brooks comes back with
it. But you do have the president David out talking
about Democrats are part of an angry mob, calling them evil, I
mean, using some of the strongest language he's used, is
that likely to get his base even more fired up?
Yep. Yeah, I think it's working. You know, we've, we're in an age
of negative polarization. And that means you don't have to
like your own party, you just have to hate the other one.
We're in an age of negative polarization. And what does that
even mean? doesn't really
mean anything. This
is the dawning of the age of negative polarization
polarization. And that means you don't have to like your own
party just have to hate the other one. And that means it's
all about contempt. And has the other side it's made you
appalled. Have they made you feel contemptuous? And one thing
that Kavanaugh hearing has done is it made both sides feel the
others appalling? And so that has fired up both bases. And the
effect is, and it's always worth reminding ourselves that we no
longer having one election anymore. We have a red state
election and a blue state election and they're
increasingly disconnected. And so the odds are looking pretty
good at the polls have been shifting in the Republican way
on the Senate side and all those red states, Texas, Montana and
those places the Senate is looking more secure as of this
moment. The house is looking more in danger for the
Republicans at this moment as Reverend women move over to the
Democratic side. So we have two different elections and there
seems to be pretty strong momentum in opposite directions
I'm not gonna argue that No, I think the demaree if the
Democrats get the house that puts Pelosi
back in passing we don't know crap. We don't know
anything. We can sit we can make some educated guesses No. And we
do know one thing for sure. It's a lot funnier. When Pelosi is
run and things on the Democrat side. it'd be a lot funnier when
the if the Democrats get the house back. Personally, I don't
think they will. But let's play the last of this and I'm done
with how
are Democrats countering this? I mean, this approach by the
President Mark, I mean, there there's this, a couple of polls,
including the one we did with Marist and NPR this week that
came out and showed Yes, the enthusiasm gap has narrowed. It
was the Democrats who were more energized. And indeed,
Republicans seem to be more energized. What, what how did
Democrats come back?
Well, the first thing they had to do is, is stop picketing. And
stop boycotting, and organize. I mean, the most democratic group
in the entire electorate of voters aged 18 to 35. And they
live everywhere. They aren't concentrated in certain
districts, that African Americans or Latinos are,
they're everywhere, and that if they vote, the Democrats will
win big. I will say this, I think the most encouraging sign
for the Democrats is the Democrats do have a national
macro message in this campaign. It's about checks and balances
on the president. It's not a new message, but it's a message that
certainly resonates with a lot of voters. Yeah. Checks and
balances. Yeah.
Oh, it does. It doesn't, cause it resonated at all. I am.
Before we end, I do want to say something you've made mention on
the show about the crappy house building in Florida. Yes. So I
was thinking about then I got a couple notes themselves. There
apparently have been new housing regulations about building newer
places. And if you look at the ad, Mexico beat Mexican beach or
whatever it's called Mexico beach in Mexico beach. There you
can see the old houses are demolished and there's a house
right in the middle of big giant beautiful place. Nannie roofs
intact and, and there's blocks of houses missing in his blocks
of houses, all intact roofs and tag define. So they are making
improvements in the building code.
Oh, yeah, they have to for insurance purposes, everybody
has to have as to be up to code. I know this because Tina lived
in Florida for 16 years. So she's been through storms and
she's been she has standing in on the subject and but I just
look at it you know, you said yeah, just to the metal frame.
It's just like get the metal frame of the house was left that
kept up the sheet rock. I mean, we build crappy houses in
America. It's okay. It's just what it is. That we build houses
like we build our cars.
I'm just saying there's a lot of houses that were standing that
right obviously built well, yes, we have good houses too. We just
don't build nothing but crappy houses.
Well, okay, you're right. You just got to have an updo.
Well, yeah, if you want to build a lean to, which is what they're
encouraging in California shanty by just tearing down shanties,
yeah. Yeah, you want to build a shanty town made out of aluminum
foil and tin and leftover fiberglass pieces in tents. I
think those things are subject to with destruction. And that
