November 4 2018 This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode 1083
This is no agenda. He who
controls the present controls the past and broadcasting live
from the capital the drone star staying here in downtown Austin
tea house in the Claudio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry in from
Northern Silicon Valley where a slew of motorcyclists just went
down the freeway having the time of their lives while we're
working. I'm John C. Devorah.
Raglan buzzkill
Well, now we do you know you have owned a motorcycle license
at one point in your life.
Yes, well, I
owned a couple of motorcycles to the point.
Do you still have a an operating license?
You know, I it was foolish for me. But somehow you let it lapse
I have to check a box. Wow. I mean, I can go take the test and
get it get it on there again. But I have driven a motorcycle
without without that thing off because I don't think anybody
notices but it's kind of RFID thing. Hey, this guy I don't
know what he's doing.
What What kind of bikes that you own? Just out of curiosity?
I had. Kawasaki Mach three. A little hot rod rice burner. We
had a 750s Triple these were old two stroke.
752 stroke. Yeah. Yeah, they have like a canister of oil that
you just apply continuously.
It didn't smoke as much as you think. Wow.
And 750 CC's two stroke engine.
Yeah, geez. Yeah. crazy powerful bike.
to mine I used to drive doubt but he had a Honda for the four
cylinder low guy I think was I forget what the I think was 752.
Is that nice for
bikes? Man. I'm pretty big stuff.
I only liked bikes that were fast. Yes, because I felt they
were safer. They were I think they are I'd make this argument
a bike that's fat nested erotic control. I mean, they have some
my friend of mine and bought a 1250 Kawasaki or something's at
12 150 CC's. And it was it was so dangerous that it was it was
too fast. But you want to be able to stop and go quickly
because the yes or yes, this is true. That's true. And the only
time I almost got into trouble was when I driving. Somebody let
me drive their Honda 50.
So, I mean, a 50 CC, just like a motor, like a moped basically
moped
Well, the 150 was a little more than a moped. But you might as
well have been a moped. And the thing was like there goes Zephyr
12345. Cars. The thing was unbelievably dangerous. It
wouldn't stop. It wouldn't go. I was I didn't I I would never get
on one of those.
Okay, hey, by the way, had voted early voting. Do you get in mind
you'd vote Do you got an early warning? Everybody got a vote
early voting. You vote. John, did you do an early vote?
Vote? Do early votes do we have? You can get a Oh, everybody's
early voting early voting everyone in Austin. I voted
pictures on Instagram here. I voted early voting. I have to
say I early voted and it was quite an experience here in
Austin. Why? Well, so Tina had to had to go to Chicago for the
weekend for the week. So she wouldn't be here for election
days. I'm going to vote early. And before to the airport
Friday, we went to the city hall. Now I've voted at the city
hall before but wow. The line was about an hour. What? Yeah,
yeah, it's been that way continuously. It's been very,
very busy. And so we're standing in line. And I see on the screen
on the big teller screen. This again, it's in City Hall. I see
the mayor talking and the sound is off, but they have closed
captions. And like, that's not really cool. I mean, the guys on
the ballot, there's other people on the ballot and he's got a
little promo reel running
all electioneering that can't do that.
That's what I said. And then I of course saw the next video
because it was all of the candidates have little video. So
I'm like, Okay, I'm kind of a douche
now. Still not right now as you know,
I agree it's because of sequence etc. I only saw four of the of
the I think we have seven candidates as you know, I want
the Steven Mayer Steven Adler out. He's a liar. And he's
allowed all these these just Bedlam mayhem in the streets of
downtown Austin, not doing anything for the homeless and
just more of these damn scooters coming in without any proper
regulation. So I was already planning on voting against him
and there's this woman, Linda something Well, she's like a
scientist and you know she's run city guy as a vote. For her, she
said she seemed like the best. But then the third or the fourth
video comes by and on the spot John, I changed my vote for the
mayor of Austin, Texas. Because of the video I saw in City Hall
while I was standing there, and I agree it should actually be
illegal but it worked. I cast my vote proudly for Alexander
Stringer, for mayor of Austin, Texas. And I would like to play
a bit of his campaign video for you to understand why
the city of Austin is at a crisis. And we need strong
leadership now, more than ever before. Donald J. Trump wants to
build a wall around the US southern border. And I say that
we can do better. And that is why as mayor, I propose that we
build a dome around the city of Austin in order to keep away
California refugees. And we're going to make Uber pay for when
we build the dome and kick out the Californians. Austin will
once again be affordable to the locals, and we will no longer
have a traffic problem. Wait for police shootings are at an all
time high bordering on epidemic proportions. And that is why as
Mayor of Austin, I promised to take guns away from all of the
police officers and replace them with flame throwers. We are
going to end police shootings and we're going to keep our city
safe.
I love this guy.
He's talking my liners with a goofball candidate
totally dome around Austin way flame throwers.
I like the way he puts a little tweeting birds.
No, no, he's he's outside. That's it's so low.
That's not sweet. And
that's not John John, if you saw the video, it's done on a like
an iPhone. If he's standing outside in front of City Hall,
it's real. That mean it's just listen to the wind noise and the
next piece.
Furthermore, as a former substitute teacher in the Austin
Independent School District, there's nothing that I care more
about than the safety of our children. And that is why we are
giving flame throwers to the teachers as well. In the past
five years.
I'm telling the guys on to something put a dome around
Austin and give everybody a flame thrower that deserves my
vote. Well, might as well vote Alexander stringer for me, Mayor
of Austin, Texas. Yeah, mine as well for sure. So, guys, so
Magga man,
let's listen to the here. Let's listen to the ramp to the
elections. I was I found on CBS and when it has all its would
the CBS and all these networks you know, they try to
this is their their overnight 24/7 operation then
is no this is the network this is a internet operation.
Oh the Oh, yes. Okay, I noticed Yeah, they're all
in this is this is one of their main anchors. And she's, you
know, she cannot quite, you know, they get the end of this
whole thing. They they tried to stay objective, but this sneaks
in, you know that Republicans are selling fear, a fear. If the
Democrats would come out the end of democracy. We're all gonna
die. Yes. That's not fear. That's hope. Anyway, so let's
play a ramp to election CBSN. Round up one
final sprint ahead of Tuesday's midterms. And both parties are
bringing out their heavy hitters, President Trump criss
crossing the country this weekend, hoping to give an edge
to Republican candidates in Montana on Saturday, the
President ramped up his anti immigration rhetoric and fear
tactics.
And what what do you what? FairTax? fear tactics? Oh, yeah,
I'm very good.
Yeah.
Very good. Oh, beautiful.
Yeah. But meanwhile, of course, they I mean, I
should I should I should just just just stop for a second for
people not in America. What happens here around our election
time, this everyone just goes apeshit. And there's nothing
else is happening in the world. I don't care what you say. It's
all about this. And in this case, probably I would say 90%
is all promoting a democratic Democrat candidate and saying
Donald Trump is horrible and fear and then you have Fox and
you've got what else do we have on TV that that really that is
more right
now really, really?
Yeah. But yeah, and they're doing the same they're doing the
same but the Democrats being
noticeable I don't know if you have a dare but here it's mostly
propositions because we don't have any I mean, there are
people running against each other but you have nothing for
the guy running for governor Cox guys. He does is keeping the
money I guess. But the so they're just gonna give it to
med get crown Gavin Newsom is the governor which is probably
okay because he's kind of a do nothing guy so he might he might
be good governor by not doing anything but it's ad after ad
after ad I was watching a series where this they had a yes on 10
No on 10 Yes on 10 no dummy one add after Proposition re yes no
yes No. Yes No. Say Holy mackerel these networks are the
stations which is rolling in dough.
Oh yeah, just fantastic. I mean, we're even seeing a lot of Beto
advertisements. I mean, right to advertise that in Austin. That
doesn't seem necessary but they're doing no since they're
doing it.
Anyway. So let's get So meanwhile, of course, we're
gonna stay on this ramp.
Yeah, just throwing the money. You understand that? If they if
if Beto does not spend all $69 million the next time it comes
around you got me you got to spend the budget and say I
wasn't enough. So that just wait for August 3. Do something
Austin. Let's just get rid of the money. Yeah,
I agree. This is almost like government work where you get
your budget up to par is going to be cut out of spend it got to
spend it. We had to spend it. We need more. We spent it all we
need more. Yeah, that's the classic budget. So we meanwhile
they CBS if they get if they're gonna balance our reporting,
with the fear mongering, they did a good job here. Because as
we go on to ramp to you get to hear the ludicrous. It's almost
like Joe Biden, I guess was struck. Oh, I have a clip was
played Gramp too, and you'll hear some of that.
Okay. Well, I don't have that much of a clip on fair
tactics. Democrat Party wants to sign illegal aliens up for free
health care, free welfare, free education. And what are they
really want the right to vote? Because they figure that's the
way they stay in office forever.
Oh, Ohio, former Vice President Joe Biden participated in an
Ohio Democratic Party. Get out the vote rally with Senator
Sherrod Brown, and Ohio gubernatorial nominee Richard
Cordray with a hoarse voice. He expressed the importance of
voting on Tuesday. Thanks for joining us. America apart. Well,
it's America. We've seen it start. We've got to stop it.
Right
now is all about
conclusion we Democrats have to make it clear who we are. We
choose hope over fear. We choose unity over division. We choose
our allies over our enemies.
We choose truth
over lies.
Sabrina Siddiqui is a CBS and political contributor and
political reporter at The Guardian. Okay,
just before she goes on to that. Here's a quick clip I had of
Biden presented as an unnamed illness.
Joe Biden, even with laryngitis lending his voice to Democrats
as they attempt to take control of the House and Senate
got a sharper vote to remember who we are.
You know who else was walking around with a hoarse voice was
Obama. He's also losing his voice. You see that? We can do
this. We can do the Trump thing. I mean, just yell and scream and
they can't. They're losing they're, they're literally
losing their voices over trying to imitate his animation or
whatever they feel is necessary, and they just can't do it. Over
lies.
Sabrina Siddiqui is a CBS and political contributor and
political reporter at The Guardian. Okay, homestretch.
Sabrina, what are really the closing arguments and the
strategy that both sides are trying to make at this point?
Well, I think it's been striking to see the way in which the
President Republicans have really leaned in on this migrant
caravan trying to frame this as an immigration crisis, when, of
course, you have had migrants fleeing poverty and violence in
Central America, dating back to 2014. Frankly, President Obama
dealt with a surge of unaccompanied minors during the
2014 midterms. And so that was a very political issue. But it
speaks to the fact that Republicans are really not
running on the tax cuts that they enacted last year, because
those are not very popular with American public so their closing
argument is hoping base to the polls,
you know, the messaging that I saw continuously over the
weekend was Whoa, whoa, why isn't he running on the economy
that makes so much sense it's it's doing good you should run
on the economy. No, new has to be fears to be feared. And the
downplaying this caravan with this exact same people. Maybe
two weeks ago, like oh, there's 1000s coming in now. I was like,
oh, Trump's afraid of moms and strollers and it's idiotic. It's
easy. And people who watch too much of this, they go crazy.
Yeah, it's a whipsaw. It's very difficult to stay sane. I mean,
I smoke a lot of weed and I do this show, so it's good. But
it's very confusing for people. Not healthy, not healthy.
Well, you doesn't have any have the Guardian and do the same
newspapers. Really? Analysis. That's media
Guardian meddling in our in our elections. Yeah, go away.
Exactly. Okay. Spy rag, ramp. Three others? Oh, yes.
Democrats, by contrast, they're obviously making this about
being much bigger than just this particular moment. It's about
President Trump and this being a referendum on his tenure in
office and really the future of the country and what the
country's identity.
When you look at President Trump's final schedule, the
Blitz that he's sort of different stops that he's
making. What do you read from his campaign?
You mean Blitz, like blitzkrieg?
She said, have you noticed that you have to go back and listen
to carefully because I didn't notice it? The first one I
actually initially clicked with then I heard it at all. She No,
Blitz is like implying he's Hitler. So she says Blitz, and
then she She's really good. I liked this woman. She's a very
good newsreader. She caught herself, but she didn't caught
her catch yourself like an Amy Goodman or somebody wouldn't
just mobile and flub, she caught herself smoothly and smoothly
corrected it in such a way that I don't think you that you'd
have to listen to this thing over and over to catch the whole
the moment where she uses blitz
differences. Yeah, I get that he's sort of different stops
that he's making. What do you read from his campaign schedule?
Well, I guess I didn't go back far enough parents. Countries
identity looks like
when you look at President Trump's final schedule, the
Blitz that he's sort of different stops that he's
making. Yeah, you're right. She
caught it real quick, didn't she? They mean,
was smooth. It was.
She's good. She's very good at this.
She is good. She's very good.
Let's create when you look at President Trump's final
schedule, the Blitz that he's sort of different stops that
he's making. What do you read from his campaign schedule?
Well, he really isn't spending a lot of time in the very
competitive House districts. And it almost speaks to the sense
that Republicans believe the house has already been lost.
Now, that may not well be the case come Tuesday, but he's
spending a lot more time in these red states where perhaps
they have a better chance of keeping the Senate as well as
some of these competitive gubernatorial elections. So you
saw him just the other day in Florida where issues such as
immigration and attempts by the Republican candidate there to
link immigrants to crime that's also been a very prevalent
issue.
Like the way she slips in head and trying to link immigrants
into crime and ignoring any ms 13 implications. You might
actually be able to do that.
You know, the Washington Post, Dana Milbank, wrote a column
boys, it's this Friday or Saturday. And the Washington
Post has very strict paywall, and this one is completely
outside the paywall. So they wanted everybody to read it,
they you know, I've noticed this a lot because I won't pay for
any of these jokes. I'm by getting a steal from browser to
browser, there's all kinds of ways around the freedom
controller does it seamlessly then heap and he posted a Trump
rotation because this is what we get here in America during
elections and everyone does their their best column ball and
God this will this will flip it. Watch my column be the tipping
point where we take back the house. So the title of this is
we have no excuses. Now our eyes are wide open. And I just I just
want to I mean, he gives us 20 paragraphs here. Now all
Americans have seen the results with their own eyes. Trump
defended Neo Nazis who marched in Charlottesville. He oversaw
that's a lie. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. You just go lie or you give me
whatever. Just a one word for each paragraph. Okay. Trump
defended Neo Nazis who marched in Charlottesville lie. He
oversaw a policy separating young children from their
parents and warehouse the kids at the border including some who
have yet to
be reunited. Kind of a lie.
I like warehouse though. I think warehouse is a good word like
Amazon warehouse like Amazon we've gotten with robots. This
is your kid now put it back. He took Vladimir Putin's word over
that of the US intelligence community accepting Russia's
denial that it interfered in our
election. It's true.
He implemented a ham handed attempt at a Muslim ban, a
travel ban that caused chaos chaos, and in its early
incarnations were struck down as unconstitutional.
It wasn't a Muslim ban.
It's a lie. And by the way, I learned something about ham now
ham handed.
You know, ham fisted and right here.
Do you know where ham hamming it up comes from?
That's a good Question I happen to
know I was just reading it yesterday that's why it jumped
out at me whether intentional Niamh actor, as right ham actors
were blow great actors who performed in blackface and used
ham fat to get the black face off. They were known as ham
hamming it up doing the little old minstrel show ham actors. I
don't know if it's intentional, but I kind of thought it was
interesting that came in
here. Yeah, who knew? Right?
We should have known
to challenge the legitimacy of a so called judge who temporarily
blocked the ban.
I think he challenged the legitimacy.
I don't know if that's exactly what he did. And so I put that
halfway
he swung radically from the verge of nuclear war with North
Korea threatening fire and fury the likes of which the world has
never seen before to declare he had fallen in love with dictator
Kim Jong Hoon and pronounced the nuclear threat ended, though no
agreement had been reached. I find this
interpreted. That's actually shameful.
It is kind of he fired the FBI. They
I want to point this out the media an idea where you're going
as Trump we have to do the Trump what what are we Trump
apologist? Core media keeps talking about Trump lies Trump
plays Trump lies, but they're the ones who lie constantly.
Let me play a clip from Bill Maher show, which was fantastic.
And he threw out one of the biggest lies really an
abstraction, Trump said there was a quote of him saying, Hey,
I've seen how the military should treat all of these. These
kids throwing rocks his caravan. Who looms? Hmm. As as if they
have rifles. Right? And that made a big oh my god, oh,
they're gonna shoot out and but here's how Bill Maher translates
that into his show.
So I guess my question is, when you get to the point, when
you're saying we should fire on people with rocks,
he took that a little further, I think,
original stage. You didn't say it you can implying something
and saying something or two different things. But anytime
Trump implies something, they take it to the next level,
listen
to the whole thing. So
I guess my question is, when you get to the point, when you're
saying we should fire on people with rocks, rocks, he wants to
turn this into the Gaza Strip, where they throw a rock, and we
fire upon them and then we'd have dead bodies.
It's stretching the truth a little bit. But this was a great
episode. And I'm gonna here's one more quickie. Before I get
to the headliner. One more quickie.
I still want to finish my little bit here. Oh, then do that. And
then I'll go back. I'm
sorry. Yeah, I
want to finish with tickets. I got one more last. Yes. More of
the ramp up because again, three clips I want to play from Amy
and Democracy Now. Just this is one of the reasons I watched
show because there's stuff that she talks about that nobody
talks about. So it gives me some insight. But but my kicker here
is the truth will win out. The true attitude of the elitist.
Progressives in this country will be revealed at the end of
these two clips. Just start with Oprah campaigning in Georgia,
yo. And election news. Oprah Winfrey joined democratic
gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on the campaign trail in
Marietta, Georgia, Thursday, days before the midterm
elections and one of the country's most talked about
races.
I'm here today because of the men and because of the women who
were lynched, who were humiliated, who were
discriminated against who work suppressed or repressed and
oppressed for the right for the equality at the polls, and I
want you to know that their blood has seeped into my DNA.
I refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain.
Oprah also told crown she's not hitting the campaign trail to
test the waters for her own political run.
Oh crap
No, I think she's too smart. I really don't think she's gonna
do anything.
She's definitely out there. I don't know you know, people get
weird ideas could happen. I wouldn't be surprised wouldn't
be shocked this put it that way.
Oh, no. Wouldn't be a shock but she's too smart.
She does this that's 52 seconds that whole bit that was it was
those pro you know this Stacey Abrams probably is not going to
win that was without Oprah's help, but then she decides to
switch over and to talk about Stephen King. Let steve King is
the guy in Iowa whose they think they can beat and so they
Medicaid and she's been smearing him on every single show
now what is what is this? What is the smear topic? What do they
smear topic?
He's a Nazi. Oh well okay, well hey, is he white? Of course
Okay, is he a guy white nationalist Nazi and he went to
Austria and maybe met with you know, with another Nazi. Yeah,
because everyone in Austria is a Nazi. But so some kid comes in
and ambushes amid some some and he does a poor job of it I
thought and King spots him and makes a fuss but dead Amy
thought this was worth playing. So she goes an hour and 32 hour
I'm sorry one minute 32 seconds might as well be an hour one
minute 32 seconds for this bit which is very long for her
pieces there's usually sharp little bang bang bang news items
but not now when you're smearing good Republicans so let's play
this back
in the United States Iowa Republican Congress member Steve
King lashed out at a college student at a campaign event in
Des Moines Iowa Thursday for asking about how kings personal
beliefs line up with those of the Pittsburgh shooter Robert
powers
you and the shooter both share an ideology that is
not associated me with that shooter. I knew you were an
Ambusher when you walked in the room basis for that and
you just as an aside I saw this clip to have not have not have a
me but of Steve King doing this and you know, the type of the
YouTube video was
King slaps down lip guard.
I'm like no, not really. It wasn't that. Did you have the
same title? Alright. Did not really
associate me with that shooter. I knew you were an ambush them
when you walked in the room, but the normal basis for that and
you get no question. What distinguishes cross the line?
It's not tolerable to accuse me to be associated with a guy that
shot 11 People in Pittsburgh. I am a person Israel from the
beginning that the length of that nation is the length of my
life.
That was Iowa State University student Caleb van Fossen. He
also tried to ask Congress member Steve King about his
recent trip to Austria, where King met with an Austrian neo
Nazi group. Earlier this week, the head of the National
Republican congratulate us
and she mentioned the name of the Nazi group or she say neo
Nazi. She said neo Nazi Why not mentioned it was just the
president's party over there. It was one of the parties over
there with an Austrian neo Nazi group. Earlier this week, the
head of the National Republican Congressional Committee blasted
King for his white supremacist ties and corporate supporters of
King including Intel Landa lakes and Purina pet care announced
they would no longer fun kings campaigns up for re election is
polling just one point ahead of his Democratic challenger JD
Scholten, in a district that Trump won in 2016 by a 27%
margin
blue wave.
This is one congressman out of you know, but they're just she's
focusing on it because they think they can knock him off.
And he is an important guy. But the funny thing was in this was
these two segments between Oprah who was in Georgia for Stacey
Abrams, and Steve King, who's in Iowa, had a very interesting
segue, which I thought revealed and you'll hear it because I
have it here as the truth wants to get out. The Segway itself
reveals the kind of weird bigotry and elitism of the
progresses and now we're going to you're going to play it after
I'm going to cue to play but remember, we're talking about
Georgia and then we're going to switch it to Iowa
Oprah also told crown she's not hitting the campaign trail to
test the waters for her own political run back in the United
States Iowa
that ain't no United States over there. Georgia back in the
United States back on planet Earth in a dimension where I
feel more comfortable
this was taken right from just bend
over for a sec You can get a border liner for that anything
back in the USA so first he's talking about back in so what do
you think Georgia is a me? What country is it
in the Republic of Georgia?
This is the kind of insulting this is in the brain because the
entire set did they get writers and cameramen and editors they
have all these people. Line
line editors is someone who's all the way at the back who says
yay or nay or stop this is ultimate control in the control
room.
One person there noticed this.
Oh no, I'm sure they noticed that they just it fell
comfortable.
Let's get started right?
That sounds right should be good.
Yeah. Well,
does that do it for your your hips? I'm
done with that's the rundown. Yeah. Good.
You got a little borderline in there. Very good. I'm gonna go
back to the Bill Maher show it was a doozy and it answers a lot
of questions for us. But the panel, the panel is like the co
founder and CEO of Axios, which is the NBC outfit, which is why
see CBS n is exists. Axios is basically NBC. Then there was
Axia
isn't Axios a thing that Lauren Josh season two,
but it's NBC and her, basically, are Comcast. Then there's the
president of the ACLU, who was an incredible dick. Oh, my
goodness. I mean, he's not you don't even get them. You have to
really I had to wait to find who the guy was. Popped in the
middle. And I'm just like, this must be some kind of Democratic
Party official. But no, it was the president of the ACLU. And
then Chelsea Handler who was just yelling all the times to I
kind of liked her show, but she her political ranting is tiring.
She's afraid. I'm so afraid. I'm effing scared. Okay. But then
Bill Maher asked a very pertinent question, and they are
all oblivious to what is staring them right in the face.
One of the disturbing stories that got buried in the news this
week is that Brazil has the new president who they're calling
the tropical Trump. And I feel like I've read this story before
but other countries in the world. They're all it's like
they're franchising. Donald Trump popping up everywhere.
Yeah, they really are. Italy has one. Hungary, Hungary, Poland.
Merkel was out in Germany. We don't know what's next there.
What's Why is liberal democracy. So in retreat right now?
Hmm. I don't know, Bill.
It's a big problem, right? Because it's not it's not going
away anytime soon. Because you named it beautifully. Look at
the politics of Britain. Look at the politics of Italy. Look at
what happened with Merkel, you don't have as big a number of
sort of Trump errs there. But it's much bigger than it was
before and help driver out of office and what the commonality
of all of those is, its migration there, whether it's
immigration here, its economic stagnation. And it really is the
switch globally that you've seen in politics, which for most of
my lifetime, it was big government versus small
government at its simplest form. Now, it's not now it's very much
about sort of your identity. Do you like the way the world was
when you grew up? Or do you want change and once you get there,
you now took this from if it ever was an intellectual battle,
here's something that's very very, very emotional and very,
very dangerous.
It's all dangerous and they're doing identity politics. Somehow
the tropical trip don't they see that that people are sick and
tired of whatever these these progressive ideas are with
globalism? That's what's happening
to you that you don't see globalism as a problem. They see
it as a solution. I tropical on Brazil, Brazil, I think is
insulting. Not from the Amazon.
No, no, no. Anyway, um, so that just went on and on but then
came that the Bill Maher broke the format of the show for his
his superstar guest where typically they do interview in
the beginning, it was the Weiss girl from the New York Times
about the squirrel Hills synagogue shooting. And then it
was the panels
a comedy show. Oh, yeah. Oh, it
gets funny for us. But then normally, the guest joins the
panel at the table. Oh, no, no, no,
that's not true. I'm going to disagree with you. So we don't
get letters. I have watched the show as many times almost as you
have. And most of the time that guest doesn't join the panel.
Now the first guest
doesn't join the panel. Yeah, that's what I meant. That's the
one that's not what I'm talking about.
That guy that shows up later. Yes. The second guest the guest
who comes role? Yes, you do. And yes. Next tomorrow that guy?
Yes. That's this time it wasn't a guy it was Barbra Streisand
and she does and she did not join the panel. She got her own
segment in a hole in a different area of the set. Oh yes. With
chairs and a tape
diva she
we've got a step in John you're gonna need to be in the Ultimate
Universe to witness the full fury of what's really happening
on standby we'll go in there and we're going to binge be
everybody goes you get dizzy just look at the ground and walk
away
you Okay, are you okay? Yeah, I'm just making sure the dogs
Okay, okay.
Oh, here we go. So Barbara and she's never been on his show and
he's very excited. And she has
probably never seen his show.
She has. She has an album out called walls. And it's all about
Trump. And and now be just what the hell yes. songs about Trump.
Well, not specifically calling him out.
Donald, Donald Donald Donald Donald Trump,
but you know, you say that she's probably never watched the show.
I also think Bill Maher has never heard the song that she
promoted, has never listened to the album. And he says something
here but just as a tip if you're ever going to interview a
musical superstar, what not to say,
and they sound awesome on the song off sound as good as you
ever have. Thanks. So I'm glad you're still an EJ. There's a
new Barbra Streisand Album. There's a great day in my house.
I love this one. I have all the old ones. I'm gonna get the next
one and all the new ones that are gonna come out. This was it.
You know, it's a great that's such a catchy tune to
do not say to Barbra Streisand and not say it's such a catchy
tune. I can't explain it to you. But singers hate it when you do
shit like that. You know? You're on a road crew. I see in the
credits back there. Carole Bayer Sager yes. Absolutely
Bergman's wonderful team.
So then she's completely confused. She doesn't even
remember why she's there. But luckily, she gets straight into
it.
What was I gonna say
about Nancy Pelosi, it sounds like her.
I think you'll really enjoy some of these clips
thing you know, real life, real life, real sadness, as well as
she's talking about her song anger.
Wasn't she going to leave the country when George Bush was
elected? Oh,
she said that if the Democrats don't win the midterms, they
don't win the house. She's still considering moving to Canada. So
it's, she's doubling down. Well,
you know, I should mention just just as an aside, you know, she
has to place her in Brolin. They've got to place up in the
Pacific Northwest. We think it's in swim, because Mimi has run
into both of them at one of the stores that everyone goes there
Sonny Farms is the organic store that all the everyone eats
closely.
We'll just call that Canada. It's close enough. And it's
pretty close to Canada already. But she says that the two of
them are just really dumb over they overdressed for the area.
She ran into Brolin once and she did this gives us her story. She
likes to tell it. She says she she looks at him and she says
she recognized him but she's looked noticing his hair cut
which was one of those had to be a 500 The way she saw it had to
be a $500 haircut. This was not like any even a good stylist
said it was outrageous. And she says to him, that haircut is
fantastic. And he says to her, Do you know who I am?
I do that all the time at restaurants in Austin.
And then Mimi says, Mimi says is her retort. Do you know who I
am? Oh, via a class and walks off a classic?
Well, she showed him dammit.
I'm proud of her
sadness, as well as anger. I must say what motivated me It's
amazing that you can take something I mean, the name of
the album, the walls but the idea of the first song what's on
my mind you say right in the beginning i want to i It's so on
my mind. Trump is on my mind. You channeled into just
I couldn't slow blades. And so I was thinking oh my god. Now the
photographs in my head, the pictures, you know, the children
being ripped out of the arms of their parents. You know about
stay with me just lines
in that song is what ever happened to just being kind? Oh,
yeah.
There's a lot of this. And I've you know, it's a long interview.
We don't have just pulled a few clips. A lot of her saying why
can't we just reach across the aisle? I'm like, Well, why don't
you go to the White House and talk to him? You know, you're
Barbra Streisand. You could go talk to the guy, but there's
none of that. But I discovered something very important about
her and also by coincidence about Bill Maher. So they're
both extremely triggered by by Trump. And what is the number
one thing in the rotation we're hearing about? Certainly in the
last in the last few weeks. What is the number one Trump rotation
item we hear? I don't know. He lies he lies. He's a liar. He's
lying lies lies in Washington Post. This week. Trump has made
6420 false or misleading claims over 649 days lies lies lies.
But what's happening is both of these people and she's going to
explain the story our cycle of psychological trauma in their
life, and I understand what I have no, there was a couple of
big lies in my family, which one of these days I'll talk about on
the show. And so I understand when you grow up in a house that
is either based on a lie or has lies, things that are going on.
And so yeah, I can understand if someone is lying, that you'd be
triggered by that, strangely, I'm not triggered and I think
they answer that as well. But I think
I think we share something which is we both hate liars. You know,
you can do almost anything to me or saying, Please don't lie to
me.
I know. My two as a child that's why I'm so passionate about lies
and people who lie
by family.
I was I was sent away to it's just getting very personal now
summer camp. And I my mother came to
John quit the fucking bongos, I want you to listen, it's worth
it's just worth it
to visit. I said do not leaving without me. I always had a
strong will, you know. And I got a carton. I remember I packed my
things up, and she had to take me home. And in the car was the
stranger, this new man. And I, I thought, Who Who is this? And it
turned out to be my stepfather that I was never told about
that. And that while my mother was going to have another baby,
nothing was ever told to me. You know, when I said to my mother,
yes, she had this. She has severe psychological trauma
about her mother n-lorem.
Camp. No, if
you if you listen to what she said, No,
I heard the camp she had to get home because she couldn't stand
it. And then she met her stepfather. In the car ride home
as though she's I guess she's supposed to be informed about
everything. How old was she? That's the key.
But she was I don't know, the things she said at the
beginning. But the point is, from that she didn't know. And
all of a sudden her dad was gone. And this was her new dad.
And so it was a she was not prepped for it, and it was
traumatized. I can understand that was traumatizing. Nobody
likes that. So she has psychological trauma, which is
being triggered by what she considers to be 1000s of lies.
And it's taking her back to her childhood. That's it's obvious.
Why did well, that was later but I said why didn't you ever talk
to me about my father? My father was a teacher, a scholar, and a
religious man, by the way. And she said, Well, I thought you'd
miss them. But you see, you see what I mean by the lying, by the
way, as an actress or a singer. What you depend upon is truth.
Truth communicates, lies ribs, you know, in this case, I mean,
his lie seems to work for
yes, because maybe there's some truth in there. That's
communicating, Barbara, maybe that's why it seems to be
working
a bit. But truth eventually wins out, don't you think?
I think what you've played here is the proof that these people
are immature. That's why
we're in the alternate universe. But do you want to meet but
they're going crazy. No, no, it's very important. This is a
short 30 seconds. They're going nuts because they're
overstimulated they're watching this shit all day long. And
that's why they can't sleep at night
but one reason I think they are always you know against you is
because you have been effective a member in 1986 You're there
again. Yes, they're very much against you. They don't like
you.
remember years ago when I was supporting something you're on
the uncontrol I
was I'm sorry this is something else this is this is where Bill
Maher says he was on the bombers list enemies
list.
That's right. Which I was very proud to be. i That's the good
news. Just kind of
gratified when I found out this week I was on the bombers list,
you know, I mean, you don't want to be left out more scary and
it's a lot more scary. Well,
Bill Maher what was he feeling left out there? Wasn't he's the
only one that has corroborated the story that he was also on
the bombers list. Did he get a bomb? Was there a bomb in the
mail? Where was this list?
is on the list? But if you
if you do a search if you bing it, you'll see is only him? Oh,
he announced he was on the list like he felt left out or I don't
know. But it's very sketchy. Now here's the here's their fear
clip. They're both because they're overstimulated with the
stupid stuff.
So how do you balance? I think we all fight this. How do we
balance like not being obsessed with Donald Trump? Thinking
about him all day, because I've never known a president who was
more in our head, which is sort of what the album is.
The joke that everyone says that Trump is living rent free in
their heads. He's actually just admitting it. This is bizarre.
But I do is first of all engaged, I eat a lot to eat. And
I need sweets like coffee ice cream, right that that
counterbalances the bitterness that he's throwing at us. And
also, I have to play games literally before I go to sleep.
I mean, to get him out of my head to get the news that I
walked out of my head. Thinking about tomorrow, I have to be in
the present to be in the present. You have to play gin.
You know, you have to play rummy cube, right? You have to play
scramble. That's my way. What do you do?
I just turned to I find I'm watching in season basketball.
So they're watching stuff all day, and they're getting nuts.
And then they can't handle they can't sleep. So they have to
play card games and do something else. This is not healthy.
I think you've played clips of two people are probably
clinically insane.
Well, I don't I wouldn't say insane. Really, I don't think we
can make that
I think she's really got something wrong with her. She, I
mean, but this, of course, doesn't explain her deep, deep
hatred of George Bush, to the point where she was going to
leave the country. It's threatened to her said she would
or guaranteed it, I don't know. But she's that was never
portrayed as a liar. So I think this is even maybe even this is
somewhat contrived. It's just a hater.
She did introduce a new term, or maybe it's a term that I hadn't
heard before. And I think it was put into her mind, and she
flubbed it as it's coming out. But I think it's a logical
evolution of climate change terminology,
just what's going on with the environment. Oh, Mike. I mean,
that's, like the Forgotten issue, because he's mentioned
about the younger people. And I read an article the other day
that talked about 18 to 29 year olds, 1/3 of them are not going
to vote. And I think but what do you mean, just think about
climate change? What's going to happen to your future, your
children's future? This is a terrible problem. The
Republicans and this administration have wiped off
all of the information about climate truth, the truth of the
climate. They don't even want to know what
did you catch it? No. Climate truth. That was rephrase climate
truth.
Touchy said the truth about climate.
She tries to clarify
right off all of the information about planning the truth, the
truth,
climate that was slipped in pretty quickly, I wouldn't have
got that
No. But she flubbed it. She flubbed it. But she said climate
truth, the truth about climate change, and she couldn't get it
out. But that seems like she had heard about this or I just want
to put you
in maybe it's something bubbling under maybe coming out. I think
climate truth is fantastic. I think it's probably a new a new
round of I mean, we
went from global warming, to climate change, to climate
truth. I mean, does it get any better? I like it. I like it a
lot. I want to keep it on, on that site. Anyway. last clip is
where Barbara Walters, of course, Barbara Walters, no
different Barbra Streisand, same woman, Barbra Streisand has a
solution for all of these problems. Never stopped
speaking. Listen to this, this is a very funny thing. He says.
Most people will say shut up and sing Do both shut up and sing,
shut up and sing do both. What? He says shut up and he catches
his honor
shut up and sing and do both be shut up and sing somehow and he
tries to recover from
a shut up and sing to both sing and keeps but I have one
question.
Why
does no save? Here we go. Here's a question.
Do we allow the media to keep showing him on TV? Why am I you
spent 70 Because
there's because there's money in it because the media used to be
a loss leader. They didn't care if covering the news make money.
Now it has to report to the stock room like everybody else.
Yeah. That's right. Exactly. Thank you, Barbara Streisand.
The media never made money and now they have to report to the
stock room. Yes. What do they get some get to get some empty
bottles. What's in the stock room?
Well, what he's trying to say I will translate. He's trying to
say that ratings equals money. So Trump equals ratings more
Trump that's just the way it's gonna be.
Hello. Yeah, well, that's we've noticed this from the get go.
Let's get out
of here. You ready? can't stand it anymore. or
it's unhealthy.
Don't stay there too early on striping is the best way to go
first
you heard this clip this one is I can't remember I forget to
read the guy's name down. But he was. He's like an ex executive
for some broadcasting operations written a bunch of books. And
they caught him on the sand. They're just playing this
straight up some interview. This is the straight white guy. Males
shouldn't vote guy.
You heard this? No, no. Oh,
this is right wing talk shows are nuts over this clip.
It's gonna help me. Right, right. And one other one. She
talked about prohibiting
straight males,
straight white men, straight white males. Yes. This is I
wrote about this in 2012. I think it's the only hope for
democracy in America. And I will be leading a great movement to
prohibit straight white males who I believe supported Donald
Trump by about 85% from having exercising the franchise, and I
think that will save our democracy.
Oh, who is this? Jumoke
he got me in the chat room. Oh, no. You gotta
tell me. You can't just throw this out there. I mean,
you find them easier just to just to funny though, that no,
okay. You will that will save democracy. So all the white men
that are straight. In other words, the gays are okay and be
gay. Just say you're gay. If you did, they don't vote and
democracy is saved somehow. How does this make it any sense?
Well, that mean,
even though Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Do you hear me
what happened? Oh, no,
my headphone amp. What are I'm sorry. That was weird. Okay, I'm
back. Even though you told me to delete the tweet because it was
hurting the show. And I did. I still denounce him with double
N. Lawrence Lessig, who gave us everything. Lawrence Lessig, who
I've worked with, you know, he created the Creative Commons
copyright.
Let me give you a little background what you just said.
So people get a kick out of it. So Adam, just always on Twitter
when he was on Twitter, they're always on Twitter. And he says,
I denounced him and he spelled a D and n o like, and now it's
like, it's like he was an announcer so he put two Ns in
there, as I know is where it came from. Yeah. And so I
quickly sent him a direct mail saying, quickly erase that tweet
and redo it. You're hurting this show?
No, no, that's not what you said. No, no, no, it was a
little more passive aggressive. I'm going to the tweeter right
now, and I shall read you what you said.
You said, Here it is.
You raise your last tweet and spell denounced correctly, it's
hurting the show.
Is that more passive aggressive that
that's more aggressive. It's hurting the show. So okay, do
you like to hurt in this show? It's my favorite. Everything is
hurting
us. I used to get really riled when you did stuff like that.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm deleting it. And I just say
Sure, absolutely. You're so right. All right. All right. Oh,
man. Oh, good. So Lawrence Lessig, the professor at MIT.
believe he floats
around? He was at Harvard for I think it still was IT staff. I
knew him when he was at Stanford. I had lunch with an
eye shadow. And he's he's an interesting guy. He's a
socialist.
Well, he created the Creative Commons. not creative. The Yes,
Creative Commons copyright some
hard on against. Yeah. And I'm using that term, apparently too
often. Because I remember it from his last show. He's got a
hard on for copyrights in some way. But it's mostly like from a
communist perspective.
And that's not entirely true. I'd like Creative Commons and I
took some people to court and one and set jurisprudence. So
we've had some good back and forth over the years. And a good
but now he's just come out and just insulting me.
And you
because he says that we are to blame for everything that's
happened right now. The
same thing is the straight white male. Yes. So
my generation pretty much sucks because of people like me over
50 whites, especially men, pretty much every awful thing
that's happened in the past 20 years happened. We elected
George Bush, which got us the Iraq war. We didn't elect Al
Gore, which meant you didn't get climate change legislation.
Despite us Obama was elected. But in 2010, we kicked the
Democrats out of the control of Congress. That meant Obama got
nothing else substantial through Congress in his six remaining
years in office, a stalemate a government that stalled the
recovery and did squat diddly about any important national
issue. And of course, we elected Donald Trump, which meant two
more Supreme Court justices picked by presidents that didn't
even win the popular vote, bringing that total to four on
this court, we really suck. But here's the inconvenient truth
about this story. If the 18 to 34 year olds had voted at the
same proportion as the 65 plus years, none of these awful
things would have happened, Oh, George Bush would have lost
which means no Iraq War, Al Gore is president and climate change
legislation likely passed, the kids elected Obama. But if they
had voted that the same proportion as the 65 clusters,
the Dems would have had more than 130 member majority in the
House of Representatives, that would have meant a much more
effective Obamacare, and maybe even student debt relief. And of
course, if the 18 to 34 year olds had voted in the same
proportion as the 65 clusters, there would have been no Donald
Trump, which means no Nazi rallies at Charlottesville and
elsewhere. No children ripped from their parents arms at the
border, no pipe bombs sent to any Democrat with a spine, no
right wing Supreme Court, and possibly even gun control
legislation. No doubt we suck. But if you would only vote then
every sucky thing that we would do could be stopped.
There you go. The self hating white man over 50 Ladies and
gentlemen who it's all our phones, let's get it right self
loathing, self loathing.
Now he is really assumes a lot to say we would have had climate
change, slavery 18 to 34 you whether they're all 18 to 34
white males a bunch of lockstep, you know everything, everything
they do is exactly the same. They're all gonna vote Democrat.
That's bull. In fact, there's a lot of talking about, you know,
I'd say extreme right wingers when you start digging down into
the next Zoomers, as they like to call them and not least in
our house, Zoomers, I like that good one that Zoomers are the
next group the right app Generation Z the Zoomers
Generation Z the Zoomers zoom, guys, a lot of those are pretty
borderline, you know, fascists and I'm not using the word I
don't like it. I'm sick of it by the way. I got a note from one
of my friends in Brazil about this student she called the new
guy a Nazi
a pig and
you I think you can use the word fascist even though I think
that's not the right word either but Nazi means remember the
nationalist socialist social democrats whatever that party
name specific name was German
National Socialist
National Socialists you're not a national socialist you're not
it's a white you weren't even fascist means you you know is
was part of the fascist the movement, which again was a it
was a group specific. They gotta come up with a new name. Because
you can't keep calling people members of some defunct party in
Germany as your
why it's an anchoring and anchoring moment of course
that's the whole point that's the whole point you get the new
speak Come on. Do you see what's
going on? Yes, yes,
it's not stopping it's just not this you know, the dictionary
will get thinner every year. I just watched 1984 Last night
again. And you know, had they always say here we wouldn't
version of the 1985 film think it was
the one with with John Hurt. Oh, yeah, that's the creepy one.
Yeah, very creepy. But I realized that everyone always
says George Orwell wrote He who controls the past controls the
future. The second line to that which I'd forgotten is He who
controls the present controls the past and that's what's
happening. Your words are changing the nationalist now
just means white nationalists. You don't have to say white
nationalist anymore. It's just what it means. It's been pumped
into our heads. It's very, very harmful. What is taking place
with media needing to turn it off? Need to not be watching it
mainly. Michael Moore was also out he was on Seth the what's
the name says out? He's uh, he was out and about. He was on
what Seth? The talk show hosts from SNL. Seth, what's his name
again? Seth Meyers? Seth Meyers.
But they are they are they are fanatical about this because
they know their time is up and the sort of the angry. The angry
white guy I wish actually I'm really Trump's demographic
because yeah, I'm here in Michigan angry. Well, I'm an
angry white guy over 50 with a high school education. So that's
me. Yeah. So if I could just speak to my fellow angry white
American guys who are semi uneducated, like me,
that's me. I got high school. I'm not angry for some reason.
Why am I not angry? dudes do but
we've been running the show for 10,000 years. It's like, we've,
we've had a lot of men running everything. And and, and, you
know, the Yankees could never win as many pennants as we've
won in these 10,000 years. So why don't we just take a break?
Let the majority gender run the show just for you don't
let the globalist run things to why are we doing it? He's saying
let the let the women, the women run everything and they're not
going to do it. It's just what is this guy's insane maniac? And
I don't and if you really have you looked over the election of
Donald Trump, who was the people that were mad, the Mad white
guy, the angry white guy got him elected. But do you don't see a
budget? The number of angry white guys versus the number of
angry women?
Seems to be minor.
Yeah, I'm not trying to do any logic here. I'm just trying to
point it out. I don't know what this is. I wonder if we can ever
Wow, glue some of this together? Maybe it's maybe it's only just
on TV? Maybe it's not all that bad? I don't know.
It's not it's not that bad. So the TV people, we do media have
to deal with it more than anyone.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the Morning John says we're Caucasian angry man Devora back
angry.
In the morning, you Mr. Adam curry. Also in the morning all
ships and sea boots on the ground, near subs in the water.
And the Dames and nights out then in
the morning to our troll room. Hello trolls. No agenda.
stream.com is where you can listen to the show live on
Thursday and Sunday mornings. And you can also chat along and
that is the troll room. We always like hearing what
everybody has to say. And they help out and they fact check
false and everything. And also a big in the morning to Darren
O'Neill. Yeah, we're bopping back and forth between the pros.
Now, we chose his art for and it was another tough choice for the
artwork, album art as we do every episode. This was 1482
title that was otherwise. And we chose this because there are a
number of great candidates. But we figured
we needed to discuss a little bit because there was some good
art that we had to pass over. Let me just
say what we chose that was just a beautifully drawn piece
Welcome to beto land and a bunch of money on a golden coin paved
road. And it was just a great piece and we knew that we would
probably wouldn't be able to use this after the election. And you
know you if you leave something like that on the table and we
still had today there might be something else it was just too
good. We wouldn't be able to reuse it in a newsletter. So it
was it was top notch like a lot of them but we went with the
timing is that do I sum it up properly there?
Anything so we there were pieces that we liked a lot and I ended
up so we had a piece from number shows ago which we've tried to
sneak back in I keep trying to sneak it back in by bringing the
Khashoggi topic back to the newsletter I put in the
newsletter. It was the beautiful piece by pay of the Khashoggi is
the subway logo for the for the show logo and it was guy selling
cars, cars, cars, hoagies Oh geese, and there is a in the
artwork was a horrible hoagie with bones and pieces of cloth
and stuff in it. And you know, it was this is the problem. We
do get a lot of good art we have to, we do look, reused. I use
them to the art that was the main piece for the newsletter,
their top logo. The top art piece was from God knows like
years ago that I just saw that will work. So it all gets used.
It does usually does and a lot of the evergreens and we do pick
it up later. So there's some
junk in there very happy with that.
I think a few people for today's show 1083 DJ Fuji and Jersey
City $400. These are top guy. Gentlemen, I'm not sure if the
jobs karma was the job as karma or the way you both said DJ
Fuji. Remember saying that.
Jay, Jay, I also don't remember which is somewhat concerning.
Yeah. It was bothersome.
Reminds me of a number of episodes I've had where people
have called me out for not remembering something. But
either way Jobs karma work the very next day so in gratitude I
am doubling my previous donation requests another job karma this
time for everyone I love the jobs karma dot dot dot song
super remix
yeah you know if I could find it and I looked for it I actually
saw it pop up earlier this morning and I It's Miss titled
or mislabeled or something. I know what he's talking about.
But I cannot find it.
Well give everybody some jobs karma then we'll work on it and
we'll put it into show mixing
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.
Aaron Christiansen in Frankfort 36363 from Deutschland. Thank
you in the morning, gents. I'm continuing my march towards Euro
knighthood with my second donation of 333 dot 33 Euro
dollars. This is because today November the second is the 2018
the year of our Lord and I am 33 years and 333 days old. By some
strange stroke of luck this also happens to be a pleasing
Palindrome in US dollars. Today, the donation will bring me to a
total of six six $6.06 six euros. And I don't know how much
that is in your fake money. I wanted to mention that I was
specifically on the show to I was specifically on to the show
by the unit filter podcast was John was previously griping
about it was definitely a less entertaining no agenda clone in
many ways. But they did especially excellent
deconstructions of cyber news with the host being former and
current dudes named Ben respectively. Their cyber
segment is deeply missed.
Yeah, they stopped which I bet
they could have kept it going. Anyway John would be delighted
to learn that unit filter is now defunct I'd not that happy about
it. Because according to Chris unit filter was a full time job
onto it's, you know what they were they were they were
unfilter not unit filter, unfilter
and filter on filter, sorry. Unit Filter, and Filter was a
full time job. This is what I noticed that they were just one
of them. When I talked to people about podcasting, I always
mentioned that we tried to do everything's kind of concisely
so we it's done is done. Y'all do a lot of post.
Excuse me, do you mean we're too lazy to do anything we record in
real time? We're just that professional resistance. Okay, I
found it. I've got a friend to show.
Okay, he does at least four other shows and it wasn't been
bringing enough money. We now know he is also in negotiations
to be acquired by Linux Academy, which may or may not have been
related to his decision to end the show. I wouldn't fault him
for that their show was good. unfilter was a good show. I
listed a number of times I've always found they they
they was hard to produce it was just hard to produce. There's a
lot of lot
of work doing video when it was not necessary. I mean, there was
a lot of complaints you could have about you know if if they
were part of our network, which we don't have we would have told
them to do things differently. Anyway. No jingles no karma. All
right. Thank
you very much. Appreciate it.
Hello, Deutschland. Anonymous, in Burg, Pennsylvania.
Oh by the way that 333 euros 36363 Which still comes out kind
of jazzy. Anonymous in Pittsburgh 33333 In our funny
money. Love to show jobs karma really works this year I
requested jobs Carmen landed a good job now have an opportunity
for my sensible dream job. So like to humbly ask for another
round of jobs karma. I also have a collective vision GRI I also
had like a collective karma for the city of Pittsburgh it's a
surreal feeling to see a location you walk past every day
for five years in the national news for such a horrific
incident. As for jingles I'd like a numbers station to do the
head drawn again at the end of the show. Is it possible for me
to hear it and not sing along multiple times? Oh, it's
impossible Sorry. It's impossible for me not to hear it
it would sing anyway. Steve
standby 3333 33 Rob allies are out you've got karma

This is for doctors Fuji.
Yeah before J DJ DRS DJ IMC you know,
ever since I got my new eyeball I hit it this
has not been a bionic experience as of now, it's not been great
for y'all
it's great but it mean because you're you're actually kind of
blind in one eye for a long time so your brain starts read you
know re designing how it's going to see things and so when all of
a sudden you put the other eyeball into full use whereas
back to brand new and now it's it says
your other Wait a minute so your other eyeball is going fuck it I
give up.
No no no the other eyeball is the other eyeball but new
eyeball is like it's I think it's just information overload
because the brain was not used to getting so much data ah, and
so it's starting to read into things so instead of seeing DJ
seeing Doctor will you know as I have made the number of these
little is almost a little slightly dyslexic.
Yeah, I'd be getting a refund the hell man was supposed
rather be blind.
I don't know what was the benefit and all this
the benefit?
You mean like being able to drive at night? Or
I'm sorry, because you're out on the town so much
be able to drive at night or not being you know from any simple
light source of light. Okay, blinding you

hearing aids. We're in the you know, in the elevator yesterday,
or the end of the day, but Friday, and then someone walked
in? She was and then you know, it's a confusing elevator where
there's no no buttons and you know, so someone had had
programmed the outside when she gets in. She's looking around,
like whether or not that's normal. And then she looked at
me she went and she points to her hearing aids and that's not
making a joke. That's how she sounded and I immediately go
Yeah, me too. Look, I got hearing aids and like I'm a

you think Morning Sir Timothy of the no fixed title in Plymouth,
Michigan. To 2222 I've been saving up for a donation and
Mimi's birthday is a great reason to hit the second Send
button the past month of shows have combined the polish and
professionalism of modern no agenda with the even handed
savaging of everybody on all sides that made the show great
in the first place. I have been concerned this year when
sometimes I heard an episode and thought Damn, these guys are
sounding like Republicans.
Now that that is an insult that is a real insult I hate it when
people say that I have never belong to any political party.
Which of course is not true because you guys often vote for
independent candidates and third parties. But I fear you may lose
potential donors with things like the dimension A and B idea
which can sometimes sound like Republicans are in dimension a
and crazy disappointed Democrats in dimension B or dimension as
he says as if no agenda is taking sides on dimension a I
know plenty of crazy Republicans who scare me as much as
Democrats, perhaps people who can think critically and okay,
well let me stop before I read any more of this.
What we do is media deconstruction. And there
just is so much to watch, you go to Fox, and look at what they're
saying. And it's like we don't have to we know it there. I
mean, they're they're not trying to trick anybody they're not
trying to trick anybody with and when
they do we call the mind and find it. But we find a
little bat you know, the whipsaw are ways of presenting news. And
Trump said he was he admitted he was a liar. And then they cut to
a clip of Trump saying no such thing. Yeah, but
But hold on hold on home. Uh huh. And then the next argument
that comes back is when Obama was president sure you were
deconstructing the media by showing all the bullcrap they
were telling about him being the best in the world. But they say,
you had hundreds of 1000s of clips about Obama, and you do
almost no trump clips. And you're missing the point of what
we do. Because if you want crazy as Trump clips turn on the
television. That's exactly it's the, of course, it's the
reverse. It is this is truly about media. When, when the
media was all in and Obama, we would, we would show the
opposite, which usually would have to say, this is what he
really said, Remember, when he shouted down the protester, and
all he heckler, he made a shirt shirt, just committed to take
care of that protester. And we played the raw audio where it
was about 15 minutes of him going by, by by by shot down by
by getting out and they and they lied.
So now,
I don't understand I do understand that
the media is is very biased, and I believe this, and they
admitted it themselves. If you go in fact, you can tag go to if
you ever get give a speech to a media group and ask them how
many Democrats and Republicans are there, you'll find that it's
about 80. And I think even higher a percent of Democrats
and their slanted news and what we're all we do is just say,
Hey, you guys aren't presenting this correctly, or that and then
you have the little subtleties like, like Amy Goodman
suggesting that Georgia is not in the United States. And that's
where all we do we don't do if it was the other way around. We
we still be doing the same thing. So happens that they're
all promoting an agenda and we are just pointing it out what
what's really going on and keeping people from going nuts
because their agenda, which is definitely an agenda is making
people crazy. Yes.
Well, I don't know if even if that is their agenda, that's the
result or what that's the result of their result. Yeah, you're
right. My
agenda is just to make you laugh. Just Just lie if you
haven't laughed during the show than I feel personally, I've
failed. If you haven't laughed about something, just some
lunatic thing,
which could be it could be me. Yeah. You should be laughing.
You should be laughing.
Sure, Timothy. The no fix tiles, but he also says Happy Birthday

from the last show. Okay 42 I guess is from Angelyn Aalsmeer
Elsmere the Netherlands all smear our smear as per my last
email I've
been reading you're right you and I had some extra money to
donate she's been on the for our list she was on she gave us
something and it didn't get picked up on her some more that
note and she's her husband my husband and I introduced to the

anyway she needs some law school Karma
What do you mean we don't do black dame's I don't understand
we've never done a black Dame was not that we wouldn't
I don't I think it's been determined by the peerage
committee that black dame's are rude or something I don't know
what you
mean. We have black knights but you can't say black dame I think
so. What are you talking about?
I have to go back to the data through the through the minutes
well we don't we haven't had them but we would do on if we if
we forgot someone wouldn't make sure
that's true I think has happened in the past that they this has
come up like a couple of years ago.
Wow. This is very strange
to me. Well, we're gonna say I don't understand.
Well, you should write a protest in the form of a memo to the
peerage committee and it will take it up
okay. I will This is an outrage
and maybe she can get her black Dame hood I don't know if she'd
be the first then I'd have to look back into it. It's gonna
take a lot of research and resources but it'll be resolved.
She wants some law school karma trains good planes bad and milk
comment trying to keep my status as a hot wife going to attach
pics to my last email if you missed it you missed it
we missed it and okay milk What else does she want
to train is good and milk trains good plains bad and it just law
school karma and jobs.
Okay, we can do then see we go that one well, it's a different
one
that's one mother I'd like to have all the board trains planes
bad
you've got Karma
is a speaking of trains. I got a note from I think it's Professor
John Dr. John and that would be about the trains What is it
under Shut up slave you know the the audio that that we had that
we thought was possibly a hoax of the your social score will
you will go down if you're caught without a yes without a
ticket.
It was it was the right so he says it was a hoax. Yeah, well,
I mean, I think we both thought it was a hoax. And why the hell
can I find this now? He wrote us a nice little note. And he says
oh yeah, absolutely. I've been on been on trains all over China
on the bullet trains they have it and he says it's completely
legit
so the not yet so the announcement over the PA system
and a Chinese Bullet Train is threatening you with with
banishment out or hit hinterlands or whatever it is
it's terrible
he says the the the irony of it is that if you can actually
purchase your ticket right then and there on the train or
upgrade if you will be in the in the wrong seat. So it's not you
know, you just Oh, I got caught okay. I just want to pay for it.
Now. He says apparently, that's that's a normal thing to do.
Yeah, it happens in Europe too.
But he said he said no, it's
a it's real.
Which is even a little crazy. I'm like, Ah, that was probably
fake, but it's kind of real. I don't know how I feel about
that.
I don't like it. No. I have one more I'll make good letter from
last show. This is the Aussie? Yeah, Andy Cantrell. He said
this is the missing the missing note. If you remember I said
yes.
Yes. Yes. Are there jingles included? Should I get something
ready?
School left Do you Oh, you do? Yeah. He wants to Al Sharpton,
Judy. Okay, well, Judy with it. All right, some reason that
cracks him up. Okay. Now he got kind of, I don't want to use the
word gypped. But he made a contribution of $333.33. And I
remember when it came in, it came in at 200. And something
because it was us Aussie dollars, which we normally
credit with a bigger amount or the executive producer. Anyway,
just bitching about that he says, I think I can say get more
value than most from the podcast. As on non show days, I
just listen to old episodes through my Bluetooth headset
while it's going about my business. So I listen to you
guys at least 20 hours a week. This has left me a friendless
social, left me as a friendless social pariah, who finds and
complains about media bias everywhere, but I wouldn't have
it any other way. I was an old school lefty. This is very
interesting to me. I wasn't because I don't know how many
people we can. This is hard to do. And I thinking wow, okay, I
guess we need to accomplish something. I was an old school
lefty before discovering no agenda and have yet to succeed
in getting any of my friends to listen to the show. They will
listen, that's the problem. They want them. That's the problem
with the left. They just they don't want to listen because
their friend is gonna contaminate them. They're all
too busy ragging on Trump and isn't Australia, by the way.
ragging on Trump and panicking about global warming. I believe
the Trump hate is some sort of superiority complex at its root.
Thank you, gentlemen, for all you do to keep us free from
losing our minds.
Yes. Don't lose your mind.
Getting lunch at
Chipotle. Hold on, it's in your 40s it's in here in
the race. Condition. We've ESP IICT they are all Ginny
best place to play will conference. Nago. So we got
little Judy in there.
That's one of the best songs ever put that together, which is
fantastic. I agree. I agree. Anyway, that was the last of my
current notes
and so woke up trying to catch up. I woke up this morning. I'm
gonna do this here. And
we're on my mind always. That's
easy beats Friday on my mind woke up this morning. And I had
a lot of links to the same video then a lot of hands a lot of
people who made See I told you that Jews are trying to kill us.
But I get a lot of that. And in the typical emails like see you
guys don't want to admit it. They're trying to replace us. I
mean, I get some choice emails. And it's because of the
following which are t just release it as a documentary in
four parts, originally are produced by Al Jazeera in 2017
is titled the Israel lobby. And it's a four parter. So I've only
seen the first part because I only got it this morning Earl
didn't have time to watch two hours of this. I will for
Thursday show but here's our T promo wing it.
Top international story this hour we are following news that
the censored Al Jazeera investigation into the Israel
lobby in the United States has finally seen the light of day.
Early on Friday. Two episodes from the four part series were
leaked by the Electronic Intifada and France based orient
21.
By the way, I did clip this for brevity. So I cut out this whole
undercover camera because that never works in the podcast. If
you can't see the subtitles, you don't know it's hard to
understand. So I cut that
RT RT does this to access it but
people say how come you're not doing it with Project Veritas
because it the audio is atrocious. It is not usable. And
this is the problem. It's the problem with all that stuff. And
it's choppy and cut up. There's no context everything for
context with these things is the same for this documentary. Half
of it is subtitles because it's a Hebrew or Arabic So sometimes
just doesn't work
and a clip released by EI earlier in the week, Julia rife
kin and American working at the Israeli consulate admits to an
undercover journalist that she monitors students importers of
Palestine and runs sock puppet social media accounts on behalf
of the embassy. The student group where I've canned refers
to in that clip is Students for Justice in Palestine. That's
just one of the many explosive scenes from the series would you
would think any journalistic organization would be proud to
produce but not Al Jazeera apparently See, despite
investing years into researching, filming and editing
the project, and even completing it in 2017, the network opted to
censor the production
a reminder that Al Jazeera is owned by the Grand Poobah of
Qatar, hated by Saudi Arabia.
Why? Ironically, because its government funder Qatar was
influenced by the very groups it was investigating the Israel
lobby. In June ei confirmed Jazeera delayed the film's
release quote over national security fears, including that
broadcast of the film could add pressure for the US to pull its
massive out lead airbase out of the Gulf state or make a Saudi
military invasion more likely. Ei adds, quote, one of the
Israel lobby groups whose activities are revealed in the
film has been mounting a campaign to convince the West to
withdraw its military forces from Qatar, which leaders in the
emirate would see as a major blow to their security. The pro
Israel lobby group Zionist organization of America boasted
that its director Morton Klein's quote, numerous exhaustive and
round the clock meetings in Doha, Qatar with the Emir and
other top Qatari officials helped convince the government
to scrub the project.
So, you know, from what I saw, it's Yeah, so there's someone
from the embassy and she's talking to students and she's
you know, she's meddling around there are every country has
spies that does this to every other country and I just don't
understand what is everyone talking about? And I was like,
oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we got him out of this over
representation of Jews and in Congress like well, why don't
you vote them out? If you don't like it I'm so sick of this Jew
Arab thing and we know that ultimately it's all about Hamas
so I've watched
this documentary I will check in they'll like Hamas now that's
what all this is ultimately about. The Israel thinks that
they make better Hamas than any Arabs come on and we know this
is what the real thing is
that you I was in Israel and they took me to an Arab area to
get the best Hamas I just
said that's what the argument is about.
That didn't Yeah, so
here's a Hi Thomas thing up now you got me there is a little
part of There's downtown LA we stayed at some Bed and Breakfast
for some reason bed and breakfasts or Airbnb and down to
it was in an alley. And in that alley, there was I gotta get the
name of this place. It's a restaurant wanted to go on to
the Google Maps to do it. There's a little I think it's a
Palestinian restaurant in this alley, and it's just a they make
Hamas the way they make it in the Middle East is handmade in
the morning. ground up by some old woman you know, with a
pestle mortar and his stuff is is probably the best hummus I've
ever had the United States and I will tell him this place and
we'll get some people getting some hummus and I'm telling you
we're gonna go to LA I'm gonna go by there just to get some
hummus to go we can solve everything
we can we can solve the whole Middle East problem we just get
some agreement on the hummus. I'm convinced there's
a there's a show. I haven't seen it. One of our producers psycho
Mike gave the SIR psycho he sent me these clips and logics. He
sent me a clip and there's an ISO from A to this was from a
show called I'm gonna look watch this show. Check it out. It's
one of these it's called American Housewife. It's on ABC.
I've never seen it before, but it has Wendy Malik, the comedian
actress, and anything she's in I think is great. And doesn't have
a laugh track which violates you know, some of the so it has a
different style. It has a different feeling whose shows
out laughs tracks are actually harder to do in many ways
because you can't you know, it's just they're silent. They're so
silent. Nobody's ever done a better I think then Tina Fey she
does shows without laugh tracks and they actually work well.
This one's a little Legos. It makes you a little creepy. A
little creeped out. But this clip the American Housewife clip
that was sent specifically to me because it's you'll see why
don't you see it? That little bone? Oh, I see it. Serious?
Nope. Bump. here do not have a bump.
It's nothing you should obsess over. You have a great nose. If
you're going to change something I would go with your lips mom.
It's not her fault that she got my thin lips. If I started
juicing at her age, my whole life would have been different.
I could have been an MTV VJ. God I've lived too long.
Wow. Now you go um, it's tough dinosaur. Banks. I feel real
good. Now,
here's the here's the end. DVD V J clip as a candidate for end of
show
as an ISO beautiful, I
could have been an MTV VJ. What's that?
You're in? Congratulations. You've done it. I wanted to pick
up a topic. Now there was another thing that we didn't
really get to talk about. And we don't have to talk too much
about it. But I do have some other information on what to
bring in about this frontline. two part series called The
Facebook dilemma.
Yeah. And the funny thing about this, I have to say, because I'm
a big fan of frontline, front lines, especially at voiceover,
that's the best. Everybody says that me he's so believable. But
but I for some reason, I have not been interested in actually
getting this and watching it.
I can give it to you. Well, there's a couple of short and
I've one clip that I want to play. I'm more but only going to
play one for today. The documentary is I think it's very
interesting. Part one is very interesting, because it really
shows you when and how Facebook decided to adjust its business
model to the detriment of human life. In my view, but the whole
thing, both Part One and Part Two winds up at the same place.
Trump I mean, it's, it's really disappointing. It's like okay,
these guys did, and I have some thoughts about what maybe
happened there. But I just want to play this one clip from this
Facebook Live. I think this is from part one. This is just
before the IPO, which was what 2012 2013 was later than that.
Yeah, was around there when they really had to make some
decisions. Sheryl Sandberg came in. And you know, this obviously
pertains to the algos and how they whip people up into a
frenzy. And that was their, their saving grace for the IPO.
And then
Sheryl Sandberg was one of these Council on Foreign Relations
women. I think she came out of that office, government office
that puts up bought Yeah, it has a whole like to substitute
teams.
She also built the advertising business to a certain degree at
Google.
Did she not? Wasn't she didn't she do something? She
worked at Google.
I thought she did something at Google to take your thing. And
Marissa. No, I know. Marissa, maybe I'm wrong. Doesn't matter.
Oh, no.
Sandberg is a heavy hitter from the deep state. Yes. In fact,
Facebook was preparing to take its rapidly growing business to
the next level by going public.
Social media giant hopes to raise $5 billion. The pressure
heading into the IPO, of course was to prove that Facebook was a
great business. Otherwise, we'd have no shareholders. Facebook,
is it worth $100
billion, or should it be valued at Zuckerberg
challenge was to show investors and advertisers the profit that
could be made from Facebook's most valuable asset. The
personal data it had on its users
mark, great as he was at vision and product. He had very little
experience in building a big advertising business. That would
be the
job of Zuckerberg deputy Sheryl Sandberg, who had done the same
for Google,
Facebook, we have a broad mission, we want to make the
world more open and connected.
The business model we see today was created by Sheryl Sandberg
and the team she built at Facebook, many of whom had been
with her at Google
publicly. Sandberg and Zuckerberg had been downplaying
the extent of the personal data that Facebook was collecting and
emphasizing users privacy, we are
focused on privacy, we care the most about privacy. Our business
model is by far the most privacy friendly,
privacy friendly, that's our mission, right? I mean, we have
to do that. Because if people feel like they don't have
control over how they're sharing things, then then we're failing
them
really is the point that the only things Facebook knows about
you or things you've done and told us
internally, Sandberg would soon lead Facebook in a very
different direction, because a
meeting I think was in March of 2012. In which you know, it was
everyone who built stuff inside ads myself among them. And you
know, she basically recited the reality, which is revenue was
flattening. It wasn't slow isn't declining, but it wasn't growing
nearly as fast as investors would have guessed. So she
basically said, like, we have to do something here, people have
to do something. And so there was a big effort to basically
pull out all the stops and start experimenting way more
aggressively. The reality is that yeah, Facebook has a lot of
personal data, your chat with your girlfriend or boyfriend,
your drunk party photos from college, etc. The reality is
that none of that is actually valuable to any marketer. They
want commercially interesting data. You know, what products
did you take off the shelf at Best Buy, what did you buy in
your last grocery when they didn't include diapers? Do you
have kids or your head of household? Right? It's things
like that things that exist in the outside world that just do
not exist inside Facebook at all.
schanberg teams started developing new ways to collect
personal data from users wherever they went on the
internet. And when they weren't on the internet at all.
And so there's this extraordinary thing that happens
that doesn't get much attention. At the time. About four or five
months before the IPO, the company announces its first
relationship with Data Broker companies, companies that most
Americans aren't at all aware of, that go out and buy up data
about each and every one of us, hopefully, by where we shop,
where we live, what our traffic patterns are, what our families
are doing, what our likes are, what magazines, we read data
that the consumer doesn't even know that's being collected
about them, because it's being collected from the rest of their
lives by companies they don't know. And it's now being shared
with Facebook so that Facebook can target ads back to the user.
So when we heard about the data brokers, I think I was confused
as well. I thought that they were selling the data to the
data brokers, but it's exactly the opposite. Now, if you're
wondering why Facebook ads, and it's not just Facebook ads, I'm
sure everyone has it, everyone. Anyone can buy this data. It's
from a data broker for Christ's sakes. That that's why you're
getting you know, the odd types of things that you think it may
be listening to you the app, I don't know. But it knows a heck
of a lot about what you're doing in the in the real life world.
And they implemented that just before the IPO and it worked,
because it just went everything went crazy. With the revenue
back up here and you make bitches Sandberg. She's the Vice
President of Global Online Sales and Operations at Google. She
was still CEO. I don't think she by the way has she had that much
to do with what's going on? I think she just guided it could
be. And she was involved in launching Google Google's
philanthropic arm Google. Org. Before Google, she served as the
Chief of Staff for the United States Treasury, Secretary of
Treasury Lawrence Summers, that but she came out of that group,
this is one organization within the government of these
substitutes. You need a you need a chief of staff, they bring one
in from this, this crowd, She's a superstar one of these,
they're considered very high level, they don't even they
don't even get the same kind of government pay, they get more
money. And they're used as Hitman kind of it's like a
hitman operation within the government that they used it
for. That's how Trump gets all these, you know, he has all
these people still doing work after firing people because they
bring them in from this one organization. Well,
so. So I was just doing a little bit of research on on Facebook,
and they actually have their research arm has a, you know,
had their own website. And it's typical researchers, they put
everything up there. And I was really looking to see, I guess,
I came up with a with a, with a thesis, you know, the idea that
Facebook and fake news and bots and the Russians were the rubles
that that had somehow changed the the election and you know,
tilted it all in Hillary's favor based on what we think was what
was it $100,000? Was that kind of the number did
it all in Trump's favor? So
I'm thinking
maybe just maybe, and this also goes back to Hillary joking
about Zuckerberg, you know that he says they all look alike,
which I think was a reference to Cory Booker and an Eric Holder.
Oh, no, they all look alike, don't they? I think that might
have been a reference to the artificial intelligence that
can't seem to get darker skin tones, right. I don't know what
it is. But
I know somebody sent a note specifically saying what it was,
we'll get to that later. But there was a reference to
something that happened between Sonia Berg and and, and Kara.
Okay, when she interviewed it.
Oh, I didn't know that. Okay, well, good. But it was Yeah, but
let's just say just for a moment that
Hillary loses,
they have to somehow blame this on Russia, because they are
actually they colluded with Russia and with the UK with the
intelligence services to get the Steel report. And we're gonna
blame it on, you know, somehow on Facebook pages. And I'm
thinking that if this is how my thinking went, it's like maybe
they just had some algos battling with it took them a
long time. And they came up with, you know, $100,000 worth
of fake pages with a with a little, you know, with
controversy, and maybe it's just bought who the hell knows? Maybe
it was it was Facebook's own bots, I guess is what I'm saying
because they're not. They're no strangers to manipulating things
when it comes to voting. And this is what I stumbled upon a
study that was published in 2012. And this is from Facebook
research, a 61 million person experiment in social influence
and political mobilization. This is from 2012 but the actual
study took place in 2010 Schumer Here it is. Here we report the
results from a randomized controlled trial of political
mobilization messages delivered to 61 million Facebook users
during the 2010. US congressional elections. So
that's the, the midterms of 2010. And they end and
yes, I was just gonna say free go on what didn't like around
five or six years ago on our show, wasn't there this moment
where Facebook was busted for doing one of these?
Well, that was different. That's, that's what I thought I
was going to find. That was the survey where they put happy
stuff in your feed and saw if you were posting happy stuff, if
they put negative stuff.
So they've been doing different kinds of experiments. This is
almost like for me, but wait gassing the public,
John, they actually this was a real world test. They took 61
million face self identified the Facebook users as itself
identified by party affiliation. And they conducted a number of
experiments showing your friends saying I voted showing your
friends friends saying I voted. And they asked to hear the
results show that online political mobilization can have
a direct effect on political self expression information
seeking and real world voter behavior. They claimed in the
results of this survey, that our Our results suggest the Facebook
social message increased turnout directly by 60,000 votes and
indirectly through social contagion. virality by another
280,000 votes for total of 340,000 additional votes, that
represents zero point 14% of the voting age population of about
236 million in 2010. So they actually measured in total, and
they have a number here. Here, the results suggest that friends
generated an additional 886,000 expressed votes, they change
voting behavior. Now maybe it was just to get people to vote
for the party they were going to vote for for anyway. But as far
back as 2010, they were doing this stuff. And they were I'm
sure the sales guys, Sheryl Sandberg were saying look at
what we can do, we can get your people out to vote with an
incredible increase. And this is not discussed anywhere. Now fast
forward to their next test, which was shut down in 2017.
Right after the election in February. And these were the
headlines. Facebook chat bot chat, bots create their own
language. Facebook takes them offline. And they were doing
basically negotiations between bots. But if you look at the
research data, which they've also published, here's what it
was about algorithmic information sorting, these
technologies have the potential to expose individuals to more
diverse viewpoints. They also have the potential to limit
exposure, exposure to attitude, challenging information, which
is associated with the adoption of more extreme attitudes over
time. And they did this with another 10 million people. They
have been fit trying to figure out how to change people's minds
or get them to vote or anyway to motivate them to do something
specifically in voting and they did it during the elections.
This needs to be discussed.
We're discussing
it. I know but in maybe a wider audience. I'm shocked by this.
I'm not shocked. But I'm shocked and no one has ever talked about
this.
You think it would have been brought up in the congressional
hearings? They get people working there that no no, they
don't do crap. Beyond the direct effects of online mobilization
we show the importance of social influence for effecting behavior
change. Our validation study shows the close friends exerted
about four times more influence on the total number of validated
voters mobilized and the message itself more broadly, the results
suggest that online messages might influence a variety of
offline behaviors. This has implications for understanding
of the role of online social media in society and no shit
Sherlock. So what if these guys were really doing stuff?
And maybe they were just blamed for cover?
And it kind of got out of control because it turns out
that there's actually a lot of stuff that that's going on with
Facebook. Maybe it was oh, hey, dude, we'll find some some
bullcrap Russia stuff. Why didn't they show I mean, that's
what I would have said, Okay, here's what's going on. In a
congressional hearing. Here's what we found. Here's the
research we've done. You know, this can actually this there's
something to this maybe now none
of that.
Maybe because people want to exploit it so they don't want to
talk about it. Well, yeah,
I'm just surprised. Eyes this all this research they've been
doing and changing people's votes during elections?
Well, they didn't change the change the vote I thought you
said in the second
secondary lot in the secondary to 2016. In the 2016 election,
they had bots fighting each other, and they called it
negotiating. And they shut that down right after the election.
And that was to influence political challenges and
challenges in behavior.
Well, this would be a very powerful advertising tool for
somebody running for office. No kidding.
No kidding. Although it didn't get Hillary elected. Nope.
And it seems like the only see Twitter's announced they got
very known we got $2.1 million in advertising from all
campaigns in this cycle. That seems low.
Yeah, it looks like they went back to TV.
Three Democrats are buying almost all the campaign ads on
Twitter, only 2.1 million has been spent on political ads
since it began tracking in June. That's from Bloomberg.
Saturday even know how those ads are presented on Twitter,
because apparently I have one of those accounts that doesn't get
ads. Yeah. Anyway, talking about does you know certain accounts,
don't get ads.
That could be you got a check mark. Maybe you don't get ads.
If you have a checkmark. I haven't checked. Anyway, did you
see all the way about a quarter of the Google workforce laid
down? Oh, groovy. Groovy. And the reason
I'm gonna before I play the clip, you can find it. Google
walkout. Is that the another reason I listened to democracy
now is because the mainstream media would not do this story.
On Thursday, Google
workers around the world walked out to protest the company's
handling of sexual harassment and abuse. Democracy Now spoke
with New York City, Google employee and protester demo
Rodriguez
decided that enough, is enough is enough? Because everybody who
works at Google has fostered their back there. Lives have
sacrificed to have gotten the grades in order to be the best
at what they do, and it is unacceptable. It is absolutely
disgusting. That anyone thinks that you can be less than
exceptional and worse than that you can be negligent about
sexual assault, sexual harassment, abuse of power,
inequity is across every pillar that we have to no consequence,
we will bring the consequences.
Protests came one week after the New York Times published a
damning report detailing sexual misconduct at Google, a number
of high level male executives accused of sexual harassment and
sexual assault have received millions and exit packages from
Google.
This is fun to watch.
I'm really enjoying it, but they're not playing it. Even
locally. They don't play this story.
Yeah, they didn't, you know, the the Googlers. In Austin, they
did not actually stand on the street. They went down were in
the lobby. So it was it was not a spectacle. But I just just
just think for a second. I don't know who who was walking out.
But man, I'd be worried. I think Google really, with all Tech
with all technology companies, it really hangs together from
trust with your employees. Because it doesn't take much to
put something in somewhere. That could be really disastrous.
Right? Yes. Wow. I think Yeah. Now,
I just find the whole thing weird that there's the stories
being suppressed. And it makes no sense to me for the following
reason. Because I'm a newspaper or a media outlet. Google's my
competition. Yeah, you want you want to slap them down?
You'd think because they're your they're taking money. And Google
Facebook, Twitter. I'm a newspaper, those guys. And let's
put Craigslist in there. Those guys are eating my lunch. What
can I do about it? By ignoring all the stories that are bad
about them? How's that helping?
Yeah, I don't know.
The Times got smart and they did a hit piece.
A hit piece on one on Google. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
She's nice. Was she started about the end of that clip.
Well, that's how it started the hit that that's when the start
is when the times announced that I think it was the guy who sold
Android to Google. Andy Rubin. Rubin. Rubin. I didn't know
Yeah, so he sexually sexually assaulted some women. HR
confirmed it. They let him go with a $90 million exit package,
which I think was probably part of the purchase or something but
anyway, doesn't matter, because that's being construed as a
Google condones it. And of course, there's been 40 or 50
different examples of that where Google has not made a big metoo
moment about anything. Of
course, man, wait until that hits Apple. No, yeah. Right
until that hits Apple. So
these, I don't know, I just see I see this as a very challenging
problem for the black box known as Google. I mean, we never
there's no way to get any information from the employees,
you can't do any they don't care. They don't consider anyone
a customer, except the advertiser. And now they're, you
know, now this number, there's a crack, you know, there's a
there's a little opening there. I think it's gonna be
complicated for him. Well, on
the sexual harassment beat, yes. I don't know if we ever played
this clip. But this is from over a year ago, and then it got
brought back as some sort of a slam against NBC. But I clipped
a piece of this woman who came on I didn't think it was the New
York Times and complained about Tom Brokaw. Remember her?
Oh, about what about Tom Brokaw in the hotel room?
Well taught Yeah. Tom Brokaw this job. But I just thought I
don't know why this showed up again, but I want to play
because I find it highly I for some reason I get a kick out of
this story.
For a decade I worked at NBC News as an anchor and
correspondent. I was groped and assaulted by Tom Brokaw. Then
the anchor of NBC Nightly News. This is my story. I was a brand
new, newly hired correspondent for NBC News for weekend today.
And I was sent to Denver in August of 93 to cover the Pope's
trip there. And while I was standing in the Denver Bureau,
with my back to the door from behind me, out of nowhere, Tom
Brokaw walked up, put his hands on my waist and tickled me all
up and down my waist. I remember it was physically unpleasant and
humiliating. I jumped a foot. I looked at the editor of nightly
news in the eye, he looked back at me and his jaw dropped. And I
was completely humiliated in front of a roomful of my
colleagues. I jumped got out of the way got out of his grasp. No
one did a thing and there was really nothing I could say or do
because I was so low on the totem pole that I had just had
to get out of there as quickly as possible and try to go on and
do my job covering the pope Yeah, so
why do you bring it up? Like I remember it.
Why because I did this was what she considered an assault. Yes.
And the more I hear it as nothing I would do in an office.
But if I saw somebody do that, and I can imagine it and I think
maybe I've seen it I'm not sure because there are ticklish
people out there and they do it to men and women. Some Joker you
know this is guys that do stuff like this. I don't think I think
okay, go ahead. No, tell me what you think.
I think it's rude and I think it's definitely rude then it's
you know, physical contact
so just don't think of it as an assault Yeah,
well it's I'm again I'm not sure why you're bringing this up we
kind of went through this
but because you were you brought up the sexual harassment thing I
thought I just had this clip out and it's just something I this
clip is he has me completely baffled and they you know, and
it's again the thing they're going after NBC there they have
already gotten everyone they could I think out on one thing
or another
no no and the lack there's tons of people still anti lack
being targeted. I mean, you can see his pictures in variety all
the time they're accusing him of one thing or another Yeah.
Well, the the ultimate the ultimate win will be of course
the smashing success of House of Cards with our female president
my predict this I really predict this will be and I'm gonna watch
it I think it'd be really good. I like I like
what's your name? Robin writer so much, man.
But but this is this is back to Michael Moore. You know, just
let just let the women run the world.
Well, they're gonna definitely if they're going to do this and
to bring in the top writer, so they will be wrote, well,
probably will be good.
Now, you mentioned something in the newsletter about Khashoggi.
Yes. Do you have anything to bring to the show regarding in
the newsletter about how she said that, as you know, I hadn't
predicted she hadn't predicted that Uh, yeah, maybe MBS would
be out and you say, well, he's still got some tricks up his
sleeve and so I figured we'd talk about that. What
do you I do have the official shoshi story on Democracy Now?
I don't want a second as you should know better than that. f
f
Jamal Katsuji
Shushi Okay,
The Washington Post is reporting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman tried to slander slain Saudi journalist Jamal
Khashoggi, falsely claiming the journalist was a member of the
Muslim Brotherhood during a call with national security adviser
John Bolton
falsely isn't that well known?
Well, listen to this carefully go back it up a little bit and
listen to it carefully. And you see how they weasel out of it. I
don't understand this story at all Muslim Brotherhood
during a call with national backup who just started over on
my head that the Washington Post is reporting Saudi Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman tried to slander slain Saudi journalist
Jamal Khashoggi falsely claiming the journalist was a member of
the Muslim Brotherhood during a call with national security
adviser John Bolton and White House senior adviser Jared
Kushner, and the days after Khashoggi his disappearance,
okay.
So if I understand what she says, is that he said that
during the call with Bolton and is the I don't understand. Let's
continue the whole clip. No, no, no,
I'm just trying to understand Oh, you'll understand more.
I'll do it one more time. It'll shut
the Washington Post is reporting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman tried to slander slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi
falsely claiming the journalist who is a member of the Muslim
Brotherhood during a call with national security adviser John
Bolton and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner in the
days after Khashoggi his disappearance, the Muslim
Brotherhood is classified by Saudi Arabia as a terrorist
organization. Khashoggi was not a former member of the Muslim
Brotherhood. Today marks one month since Washington Post
columnist Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in
Istanbul and was assassinated.
Wow. So you know, it's like the kk k I guess we don't really
have a membership card.
I don't think there's a membership card for the Muslim
brother course not.
And what the what is it like? He was an unofficial what is what
is
this wasn't a former of a formal. What is she talking
about? I did. That's why
I see why.
Not to be confused, because it was confusing. It was stupid.
That's just the kind of crazy reporting that you get from
these people.
Well, in the meantime, while this is all playing out on this
huge supportive stop, he was a huge supporter of the Muslim
Brotherhood.
TS. He's written about it. He wasn't a
former a formal member. Yeah, okay. Oh, yeah. How's that
slandering him? Oh, they tried to slander him.
I mean, there's lots of people who are members of the money.
You gotta remember democracy. Now. Most of these super
progressives, they really hate Israel. And they're pro
Palestinian. Well, the all this messaging comes out of that that
basis. Yes.
But it's,
yeah. Well, and so now we have the grand scale. We have the
Muslim Brotherhood, we have Iran, we have turkey still in
the midst. We have Saudi Arabia. I'm not quite sure is everyone
just pissed about them being a holes for a long time. And now
that this is finally the way we try and get back at him? I'm not
sure what is happening. But I do know that with the Iran
sanctions, kicking in what in tomorrow, Russia has a
alternative to the Swift payment system, which I think they're
getting everybody on India, Iran, and maybe China. And you
know, Swift is, is that completely us owned the payment
system? Who
owns it? I'll look it up. But
yeah, it's basically just a, an intranet, where you're shuttling
messages, encrypted messages saying, Okay, I sent you this
money and you send me that money. It's not just data. It's
just a data network. It's not like anything special. But to
create a network like that does take a little time, certainly
by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
telecommunications,
right. So our idea is that we cut them off so that no one can
trade with them. And Russia says Oh, it's okay because our system
is good to go. See what it's called. It's the SPFs special
but a system for transfer of financial messages. That is
okay. Moscow is engaged with China, Turkey, Iran. All on this
on this payment network so it basically Thanks. Well thanks
for technology, this sanction is going to be meaningless they're
just going to do trades for oil in whatever else they can
transfer
with will screw with that. There's no doubt about it. Some
dead is not going to work out. Where do you think Swift is? is
headquartered. Oh,
question
Switzerland close it's not Switzerland.
What country do I always point the finger at is trying to run
the world?
Belgium yeah
makes nothing but since I'm gonna show

old she is somewhere between 39 and 100. So just to be on the
safe side, do $39 vary and I was expecting some joker to come in

think is at least 18,000 people who listen, I know it could be
more, we really don't know because we don't have ads. We
don't need to show how many people are engaged in gay how
much engagement we have to advertisers now, because they
can't imagine having advertisers, this show we'd be
off the air before even really started the first hour. So no,
we don't do that. And we have support from our producers. And
we want to thank everybody who came in over 50 and under 50. Of

quote the most respectful client I've ever had which is why we
took the case and another attorney made reference to the
weakness of the government's DNA evidence noting that criminal
complaint describe possible DNA a standard that does not hold up

have any of that. None of that
Bill Maher almost got one.
I love his self outing. Like oh, I was on the list. Didn't want
to be left off
you know there's we had this murderer. Bill Maher should
probably just shut up. We had this murder or here this finally
caught after like 30 or 40 years. He's famous. He was a
cop. He murdered like dozens and dozens of people in a very
brutal way. Then he had a job got married, had a child he
stopped doing his murderous stuff, but they caught him from
some This is the first case where they caught somebody based
on DNA related somebody else. They had some of his DNA and
then they found a relative using because they you know, they use
the database. Oh, yeah, yeah, I
remember this. And this guy
was caught in Sacramento, I believe it is. Surely ex police
guy murder? Yeah, here's
your typical certainly ex police Guy murdered.
Me made mention of one, he murdered some. There was some
guy in one of the regions where he's doing his murdering, and
some joker came out and said something publicly about this
guy we were gonna ease in. He's an idiot. We're gonna catch him.
He said just said some some things. And the murderer heard
about it. So he decided to go murder this guy and his wife.
But first, of course murdered the wife in front of this guy
saying you got a big mouth and he murdered a guy. And nice
move. It seems to me. It just seems to me that when he got
psychos out there, you don't want to incentivize them.
And that's what Mars
kind of doing when he does that.
Yeah, well, we should probably take our own advice. Seriously,
we don't really get complete. We don't know. I don't think that
we're not lying about being on somebody's hit
list. No, that's true. That we know of.
So on, Thanksgiving is coming up at his a Holi celebration on the
no agenda Show. Where we will usually do a special program.
And then we will of course listen to John's real
explanation of thanksgiving. It's almost like the night
before Christmas reading. You know, we all learned that what a
bullcrap holiday it has to add something to it every year.
Yeah, every year. Now, because I have a little teaser. Can we
talk about our special guest or your special guest for that to
show? Do you wanna keep it under wraps?
Well, I want to get another get well, it depends that we're
gonna run interviews on that show.
We're going to do this show.
I thought it was going to be interview especially interviews.
Yes. What I saw it Yeah. But it's so I
Tom, when's my wizard Mike, the Thanksgiving thesis during that,
oh, in the opening and the opening, we always do the
opening show. Yeah, we do the opening. We talk about it. And
then we play that. We have a special guests and Tom
Starkweather. Who helped you out? Yes, Tom
Starkweather. produced a yo I did an interview with the mooch
the Moche. Scaramouche
Moochie. And I brought up something and in the interview
that nobody else has brought up, I read his book.
And I must have been surprising to him.
Yeah, he says only me. Mom is the only was a book just came
out. No one reads no one reads the books when they're
interviewing. No, they don't.
They don't read the books. But there's good stuff in his book.
But one of the things he just kind of glosses over, he passes
through just shoots right by is the fact that he owns a
restaurant. And so he's always his restaurant. So I'm the one
who asked him about it. And he tells us the end in the
interview, you'll find out where the restaurant is in New York.
What kind of a place it is, and all the rest of it the details
of the restaurant. And so then I I sent a note to his secretary
said, you know, I think I'm the only one that's interviewed this
guy ever that's ever mentioned, had him plug his
restaurant, can I have a free table in a meal is what your
next question
is? said I wouldn't mind a comp.
You did, didn't you? Of course.
Shameless a comp.
Why? What's wrong with asking for a comp.
And so
she sent me a no backhand, jokingly saying, I will look
into it. Now there was I'm not gonna get my butt.
Well, so here's what's interesting about this. First of
all, we have the best producers in the world. And what I like
about this format that we're starting to, I did it with
polygenic. And you've done it with mooch. And then now I'm
looking at some people the interview. What's great about
our value for value network is we make a call out and say
anyone in Manhattan who couldn't do named Ben Burton, do that
name Bernadette who can help us out set it up. So we have a
Skype and a good mic and, you know, some good audio until we
can really record a good interview. Instead, you know,
you can't rely on any guests to have Skype with you using, you
know, the webcam, mic, etc. So Tom goes there. And who I've
never met Tom does a lot of our end of show mixes. And so he
sets it all up. And he has answered the mooches coming in.
And this is my little teaser clip. The mooch is coming in.
And you have to know John is one of the few people on his Skype.
He changes the icon of Skype a lot. You know your avatar will
one day it's Hillary that's the cat with a stupid green melon on
his head and then it's Rachel Maddow. And I guess for
Halloween. It was Jason from Friday the 13th Here is the
brilliant nose
Al Gore. That's Al Gore in that picture.
All right, I can adjust this. It's all good. John, how
are you? Can you hear me?
Yeah. Can you hear me?
I can hear you. I'm looking at this logo here. That's like a
Halloween logo. Right? What's going on there?
Oh, that's as one of our coverage arts for no agenda
show. We do different cover arts. I was kind of fun to that
one showing Al Gore's as a raving lunatic.
Yeah. I like it. I just wonder what it's like. Friday 13th in
theaters now. Ya know, it's worrying lower the volume just a
tiny bit. All right. Well, great. Thanks for having me on.
You tell me when you're ready. And I'm ready.
I think it was a little worried about what kind of outfit he was
talking to. Yeah, that was his concern.
If I didn't get off the deep end because I had different ways I
could go to interview so I didn't. I kind of kept me from
asking about three or four questions I didn't want to ask.
Excellent. But yeah, no, mid pot. Yeah, no, I just Yeah, you
said he probably. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have used that because
I couldn't use those crying Rachel I liked you know
the Tom the poor Tom he probably put on a suit trying to look all
professional and I know he's all dolled up yeah, he's ready to go
you know he's he's like Hello. I'm from the no agenda show is
like looking like a Fed almost that he was perfect. And then
like bring up the the guy comes in sits down. Well, what the
hell is this outfit? With Al Gore with a bloody machete?
I thought that was pretty funny. Yes, thank
you, everybody. I
did see an error in judgment. It's okay. The ICC book, it
was always good interview.
I thought so when I went over, they would wanted to give us 45
minutes you went an hour five. You rebel. He kind of he kind of
like ended it all the blood minute that cut that ending off
because it makes it sound like he's sick of me. But something
like that, like the truth. I imagine he's looking at his
watch a lot. Like I'm sick. Are you
just sick? He had it. Thank you, everybody. You do not have to
email me that the South Park episode was all about the damn e
scooters. I watched
it. It's pretty funny. This is a pretty good episode. Yeah, it
reminded me of me.
So we have we did talk a little bit about Southern strategy on
and off. And I also had a clip from you can but I got a teacher
that wrote in as a sir Ryan time, can I just set it up? So
people understand what we're talking about? Yeah. Why don't
you give us a background on this?
I have noticed that there is amongst black Americans a meme.
But it also then thank you, by the way for the hundreds of
people who have sent in their, their experiences with this, the
diversity of our audience, our producers is quite astounding in
age, race, background education, etc. And it's kind of like it's
almost like an urban myth that appears although we don't have a
large enough sample of African Americans in our production
audience who responded, it appears that there's this myth
that somewhere around the 60s that the racist switched, and
the racist all became Republicans instead of
Democrats. And there's it's a lot more nuanced, a lot more
complicated than that. But that is appears to be something that
a lot of people I would say probably 80% of everyone who
wrote in about it, say yes, this is my belief. No one can show me
where they were taught it in school, which I don't think it's
in any books. I will be abhorrent if it was. But it does
seem to be one of these you know, things like Richard Gere
and the gerbil, you know, it's just a truth that that purposes
perpetrates forever.
Thanks for that image. So, Ryan Thompson, a teacher writes in
and out Yeah, read this note, because it has a few thing his
one. We're gonna probably be doing this systematically for a
while because there's a lot coming in about this. I don't
want to beat it to death, but we got to beat it to death in some
way. Checking the answer, Ryan. And in regards to discussion,
this other strategy I was interested in, that most of your
feedback from producers was anecdotal experiences without
referencing actual textbook material. I guess I should not
be too surprised. as I as I teach myself, I know how little
kids actually how little kids actually read the material I
give them. I've attached a picture from the textbook I use
when I used to teach modern US history to juniors. I will
summarize what it says in the book. He has a picture of a
book. I will summarize what it says and I would like to tell my
students and what I would tell my students. The Southern
Strategy was Nixon's attempt in 1972 to appeal to the
disillusion Democrat voters in the South who felt Johnson's
Great Society was too far reaching and that the Supreme
Court was leaning to liberal. Nixon and his advisors thought
that they could appeal with more conservative message to these
voters because of the success of the independent presidential
candidate, George Wallace. So who was able to split the
democrat vote in the south during the 1968? Election? To
Nixon, this demonstrated a break in the Democrat Party over
issues such as desegregation and integration. Well, there's
really no definitive conclusion as to whether the strategy
worked or not. And Buchanan believes it didn't. It does not
represent a complete flipping of the parties, as far as
ideological beliefs of students are leaving school thinking that
I believe it is because of the lazy teachers. Thinking that I
believe it. Oh, you think we will anyway, he thinks is
because of lazy teachers who are offering over simplified
headlines to historical invent events, instead of providing
real content and analysis. So that doesn't conclude that
doesn't help.
It doesn't help. And I'm glad you brought it up, because I
have a clip that came out yesterday on BBC, and this is a
specifically about Brexit. And it was Candace Owens, who I
heard first say, Hey, we've been taught that that the the party
switched and not just the voters, but the politicians,
which is another, you know, vague, vague point about what
BBC did is, in this clip, they review the Brexit website, and
what they are getting wrong about America's history. So here
is the British. imperialists, imperially funded BBC, telling
our black Americans what they get wrong about their own
history, it should be fun to listen to.
What is the new political movement that got America
talking Brexit, Brexit, Brexit? It's called Brexit or black
exit. The goal is to get African Americans who traditionally
support the Democratic Party to ditch them in favor of the
Republicans.
I'm convinced that liberals hate black conservatives.
It's been started by a group of conservative African Americans,
and they have a Brexit website. And on that website, are a
number of what they call truths, reasons. They believe that black
Americans shouldn't vote Democrat. So how true are these
truths? Well, let's start with this one, which is about the K K
K, the racist white supremacist group. The blacks website claims
that the Democrats created the kk k. So is this claim true?
Well, let's ask our political reporter Anthony circuit.
So this love with you can tell by the setup that she's pretty
much saying you people you blacks that you don't know your
own history, that's what this British woman is saying. So the
claim is the Democrat Party started the kk k, John, true
false. What do you think?
That wasn't a party? Yes, it was a bunch of people. As far as I
recall. From my history, a lot of politicians that rejected the
all these a lot of blacks got into office via the Republican
Party. And they were
they had to be it was, what would you
say? There's an old term for this? Yeah, they did. As far as
I can tell. I don't did Republicans didn't start it.
Okay, so the kk k was started by people who were Democrats in the
years after the Civil War in the late 1860s. But but it wasn't
founded by the Democratic Party. And there were Republicans who
became members,
who was the Republican kk k member. I don't know.
But I know of who the back in those days its membership was
predominantly democratic, as it was in the early 20th century
rebirth. Well, now there's been a complete shift the Democrats
role, honestly, before was actually this start taking this
apart as it goes along. It wasn't the Democratic party it
was that the supposition that we always had democratic Well,
already, they're already present. So no, it was not the
party. It was just Democrats. This is like Al Gore didn't
invent the internet. parsing it a little bit. No, he never said
that specifically.
Exactly. Exactly. That's my point as
its membership was predominantly democratic, as it was in the
early 20th century rebirth. Well, now there's been a
complete shift. The Democrats have disavowed the kk k as have
most Republicans. But there have been some members of the kk k,
such as David Duke who have run for public office as
Republicans.
I like well, most Republicans have denounced but not all,
there must be some sneaky Republicans in office. And then
he goes straight to David Duke, who is not in office. You go to
bird, that guy? Oh, no, no, no, that won't be mentioned.
And that's the thing here, the black sitters, let's call them
that. Oh, right. It was the Democratic Party, which
supported and promoted slavery. And it was indeed a Republican
President, this man who ended it, which takes us to the next
set of claims on their site that Democratic politicians can Go to
some of them. Oh, yeah.
So you're telling me that this was a negation of the claim
they've proved that we're wrong. Brexit people are idiots. Yep,
yep,
yep. What? Oh, yeah. Oh, this is the BBC. Liars, liars. Okay,
more
globalists globalist yet
and President, this man who ended it, which takes us to the
next set of claims on their site that Democratic politicians can
do some of the most heinous acts of violence against African
Americans during the Civil Rights Movement, and that
President Harry Truman wrote a letter in which he said negros
ought to be in Africa.
Okay, so, okay.
So I'm not quite sure of exactly what she's saying here
by Truman was a Democrat that they mentioned that. I think,
Oh, that's a good question. You make it sound as though it's
like some Republicans.
And it was indeed a Republican president. This man is showing
Lincoln who ended it, which takes us to the next set of
claims on their site, that Democratic politicians condoned
some of the most heinous acts of violence against African
Americans during the Civil Rights Movement, and that
President Harry Truman wrote a letter in which he said, negros
ought to be in Africa.
Okay. So yeah, I think there were a lot of Democratic
politicians who condoned Jim Crow laws and did all kinds of
nutty stuff. Yeah, so I
guess that's not true, or we're going to hear from the BBC.
Okay. So during the Civil Rights Movement, the 1950s and 1960s,
democratic southern politicians did support and condone racial
segregation. And that's where that letter, those words were
written by Harry Truman back in 1911 34 years before he would go
on to become the US President. And while in office, he
desegregated the military and pushed his party to oppose
racism and discrimination.
Okay, so that kind of sums it up, I guess. And that's
the thing here, the change in views from President Truman
reflected the change in views of the Democratic Party.
Okay. So what they're saying is, because 35 years before he was
President, you said negros belong on the farm, but he
changed his mind. He changed his mind. And that's the thing in
1960s,
it was the Democrats who were pushing to end segregation, and
white only public spaces.
President Lyndon Baines Johnson pushed the Democrat party to
support black rights that won the Democrat support of African
Americans across the south. But white Democrats weren't happy,
and they switched parties to the Republicans.
Right, and the Democrats became the party of choice for an
overwhelming number of African Americans in successive
elections. Of course, there are African Americans who vote
Republican, but President Trump thinks he can get more to do so.
Democrat policies have led to unsafe communities, failing
schools over incarceration,
he's got a job on his hands in 2016, Donald Trump won only 8%
of African American vote. So it's gonna take a lot more than
flexit to turn that thing around.
There you go. BBC tells you, you're wrong about your history.
Huh? Yeah. And a lot of
switching talk in there.
I have to get down get the Buchanan clip and for the next
show, because it's got some good stuff in there. He's got law
history, too. All right. That'll be our segment, we need a
segment producer that can give us a jingle. What are we going
to call the segment?
The big switch? The switch roofs, the old switcheroo
switcheroo? All right.
Let me see if I have one else. Do we have anything interesting?
Let's do this. This
good. This is uh, I wanted to play as before, this is
Professor Eric Klein, the guy who is the very famous, you can
find lots of you. And he's good. By the way. It's a good lecture.
And he's on YouTube all over the place lecturing about
archaeology in the history back in the year 1000. And he has
this little, little spiel he did on some interview on junk
science, but it was about the junk science that you find in
the humanities like such as archaeology, anthropology. But
if you think about the overview of what he's really saying, I'm
hearing global warming junk science. So don't throughout
this whole little, little discussion
that you're talking about junk science. But it's a truism that
science is playing an increasing role in archaeology these days.
Would you like to talk to that aspect of junk science as
opposed to true science,
but absolutely in archaeology today, we make use of science
every day, we've got all kinds of things from, you know,
magnetometers to, you know, precise surveying and all of
that. junk science on the other hand, That really doesn't
involve science at all. It's ignored contrary evidence. They
speak to a high moral purpose. They basically they're not
practicing science at all. And yet it looks like it. It's
really pseudo science. And that's where the problem comes
in. Because people that are saying they found Noah's Ark, or
they found the Ark of the Covenant, they cloak what
they're doing and legitimate sounding terms. And it's
actually got nothing to do with anything. And yet, how does the
general public know what to believe and who to believe? So
that's why I wrote this book that for me next I was to put
out the data. You know, this is what we know. This is what we
don't know. This is why we haven't solved this mystery yet.
This is where we might go. And then all of the various things
that have been suggested his ranking?
No, he has a book out with all this in it.
It was about archaeology, of course. Well, yeah. Yeah, he
does.
A lot of a lot of, you know, these claims of millions of
years. Isn't that based on archaeological findings?
Just there's
some of that. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's just listen to the real
scientists. And you listen to these guys who shout down the
opposition. Gal. Gauri. They shouldn't even be on the show,
Judy
500,000 Hiroshima bombs
a day. Yes, a day day, baby. Here's another one I want to
play. This is Trump versus the caravan. And I want to I have a
note here that I want to mention about about democracy now. And
the caravans just play this and I have a commentary,
President Trump is escalating his attacks against Central
American migrant caravans making their way to the US Mexico
border, including warning soldiers could shoot migrants
for throwing rocks.
No, no, I had to put up with I just wow, okay, I want to
interrupt but no, that's a
clip there's the clip. Yes, could shoot
my grants for throwing rocks.
We're not going to put up with that. They want to throw rocks
at our military military fights back, we're going to consider it
I tell them considered a rifle. When they throw rocks like they
did at the Mexico military and police. I say consider it a
rifle.
President Trump has announced he may send as many as 15,000
troops to the border, and indefinitely imprison asylum
seeking families intensities. This comes as a new Associated
Press investigation has revealed over 56,000 Migrants have died
or gone missing worldwide over the last four years, as
migration has surged by nearly 50% since the turn of the
century.
Now, you might comment on this as she goes, this goes on. And
they bring Noam Chomsky in and then they go on and on about
these poor people from you know Honduras that are having to try
to get into the United States they go and there they make a
big they go with the humanitarian angle. You know,
we're so cruel because we should be welcoming, welcoming these
poor people. And and yes, there's a lot of people and
there's maybe too many males. They don't deny its existence
like CNN does. CNN has gone lemon come out, there is no
migrants coming our way. There are nothing there's nothing
going on. And and MSNBC is the same way they say it's a hoax.
So the true progressives see it as something going on and may or
may not have anything to do with the elections. Obviously, the
right wing media thinks is a big threat. And the super left wing
media sees it as a humanitarian thing. And then those CNN and
these other guys in the middle. They they seem to think it
doesn't exist. So we're not getting really, you know, the
consistency between one angle and another is very poor.
Well, it's it's all descriptors. You know, I think the main thing
that's being used is Trump's term invasion. And that's really
what they've latched on to. It's not an invasion. It's not an
invasion.
They're not here close enough to be an invasion. Right. But and
they're heading to Texas anyway. So the way I see it, who cares?
Well, you know, it's kind of messed up as we have
to get this article,
a whole bunch of militia groups who are heading down to the
border here in Texas, Texas. minimun. Yeah, the Minutemen.
Yeah, the board minute, man. So they are all well, we have a
number of them who produce our show to
know but they're bored. Yeah. Condemning so that they're just
looking for something to do. Yeah.
So they're going down there. They're just going to hang back.
They're going to they're going to be a secondary,
fix some reports then,
I hope so. Meanwhile,
I think it was Scott Adams who said, you know, prove to me that
George Soros is really involved in the migrants and everything,
you know, just ignore the fact that he has put up $500 million
for a investments to address challenges facing migrants and
refugees, kind of but on Thursday, he announced with
MasterCard
they have a deal.
And I guess they have a name for humanity ventures I think is
what they're new. It's a venture between Open Society Institute
and MasterCard intends to focus initially on health care and
education with a goal of fostering local economic
development and entrepreneurship. I think it's
basically to get them on the credit train though.
Just give him some damn credit cards.
Well there's a bunch of pictures that apparently they did a lot
of these guys marching up north are credit cards. Yeah, just
kind of like open ended credit cards like the gift cards Nice.
So then when you when you report that story, and that story is
from Reuters, and you report that story? That's like,
oh, Jew hater. What Yeah, oh, yeah.
Maybe you could that's this is the holy
Jew what kind of a Jew is George Soros?
And I'm just telling you what the what how it works. The
listen Ed everywhere. It's like, oh, this is the Jewish
conspiracy.
So sick of it. So sick of it. All right. What do you got? Dad
only got one. I got one
left. I just got one story. The only thing God left is that it
is indeed down to two cities Amazon headquarter to it appears
that Austin is in the final running with Virginia. Northern
Virginia.
Lynchburg Virginia is there's a reason for Virginia. Yes,
Brooksville.
Yeah. Yeah,
I still I still think that we have a shot here.
We'll see.
They're nuts. If they do, they're asking for trouble.
Here's the problem with Austin. I think the Fort Worth idea is
better. They just say as Austin and moved to North Virginia has
got you know, the obvious spook thing. And there's too much
liberals. Too many liberals. I mean, it's not as though I mean,
Bezos. Yeah, he's not like a conservative by any means. But
he knows what happens in these liberal communities. I can see
oh, you get a bunch of nut balls running the city and they want
to do a head tax on all the 75,000
Why isn't that happening in San Francisco now today? I see
bending off Benioff talking about that about Prop.
See, I think
well he's desktop that's a little different. But before we
play my last clip, play the local story. There's the
prophecy Benioff studio.
Marc Benioff was in Chinatown today campaigning for one
controversial plan to curb the city's homeless crisis with tech
money.
Drain Money money money tech money money.
Connor joins us
now with both sides of the prop see showdown Andrea? Yeah,
Juliette. This would be the largest tax increase in San
Francisco history and it would force the biggest companies in
the city to pay up both sides agreed let's fix this problem.
But the issue is whether or not more money is the solution. A
crowd of roughly a couple 100 People gathered for a yes on see
rally in the heart of Chinatown. The Guest of Honor Salesforce
CEO Marc Benioff that's giving us our
hero. Marc
Benioff is one of the lead backers of proposition C pouring
in $2 million. To support the measure. We know
that we have to get these people off our streets. We know current
funding is not enough. We need more funding, we can do more.
It would tax corporations with a revenue of more than $50 million
a half percent in gross receipts if it passes, biopsy would raise
roughly $300 million annually. That money would go to create
housing for at least 5000 people provide 1000 new emergency
shelter beds and fund mental health programs. Opponents
though caution San Francisco has tripled its spending on the
homeless issue in the last decade. But the problem has
gotten worse
without additional accountability without
additional reforms that we might be throwing good money out with
the bad
prominent politicians such as San Francisco's newly elected
mayor London breed and State Senator Scott wiener oppose Prop
C. But tech executives have taken center stage on this
issue. That's because social media has become their
battleground. Benioff and Twitter co founder Jack Dorsey
have exchanged lively tweets on what would be the best solution.
Well, I'm very grateful for Jack Dorsey for starting this because
he really gave us a national conversation on Proposition seat
opponents also warned the impact cropsy may have on jobs and
housing and transportation costs. Many would like to see
how Mayor London breed is going to tackle this problem and then
give her a program some time to work before implementing new
taxes.
Oh yes, the
tech will take money will save the world. So this is They they
want his $50 million and what are they gonna do just round the
300 million I think a round everybody up and throw him into
a bus and ship them off somewhere on what I was just
gonna wait to
go ship to Austin.
Hey man we got a dome and flame throwers back off
the dome yet back off to the last clip I have is the is the
new UN ambassador. They're going to try to push our friend
Heather who by the way I was looking at her bio. And she used
to be on Fox. Yes, she used to be on 5g A lot of stuff on Fox.
It wasn't like she was really steady there. But she she went
to Arizona State and I look at her picture. Yep. She there's a
certain look of all the women all the women of Arizona State
Do I look like her? Yeah.
Is that good? Is it a good thing?
Well, if you like that, look, it's just pretty well.
I'm very underwhelmed with her. We Yeah, we used to have lots of
stuff from the briefings. Oh, yeah.
No, this gone down.
She's She's boring.
She's got a big giant thick book. It's too thick. So she's
doesn't see me she's not. She's kind of flirtatious but not in
the right way is Arizona state now. Tell you more, but I'll
just leave it at that.
President Trump is reportedly planning on nominating State
Department spokesperson Heather nauert to be the new US
Ambassador to the United Nations after Nikki Haley's exit at the
end of the year. Now it is a former Fox News host including
for the program Fox and Friends a favorite of Trump to join the
State Department as its spokesperson last year.
Oh she'll be perfect for the role just shut up and look
pretty and read your lines.
Favorite a Trump's always got to put a dig in there. Oh, she
is a favorite of Trumps. And she's boring, which is perfect
for this job. is perfect for the job.
Yeah, I think she'd be okay. It probably won't let her get it.
They got to stop Trump at some point about something. Whether
it comes after the elections.
Yes. And we will be reporting diligently on what happens after
the elections. We'll have a full day Wednesday to figure out
what's happened and see if we can deconstruct them. Of course,
we'll bring all of that to you on Thursday. I'll be very
interesting to see what happens either way.
We'll have the best reports Yeah.
And yes, and either way, it'll be good for the show. There is
always humor in this stuff. And I look forward to it. And until
