Adam curry Jhansi Devorah it's
Thursday, November 15 2018. This is your award winning nation
media assassination episode 1086. This is no agenda. Brexit
boots on the ground and broadcasting live from the
garden of Amsterdam and get my nation lowlands in the lot and
last in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm finding boxes of
ballots in my closet. I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan buzzkill
I was I was wondering was it gonna be the the recount or is
it gonna be the fact that you're on fire? Are you doing John?
Good? Really? Doesn't seem like things are good in California
right now.
Oh great. Okay nice smoky get to watch you all these people walk
around with masks on like you know does anything I mean it's
ties to the air is filled with particulate as was sexy vapors,
but okay, there's smoke smokes in the air
Smoke on the Water. Well give me a little report. I mean, I've
been in Holland for a few days and I was wondering what's going
on? I mean, I'm seeing nothing but
bad stuff. Yeah, ballot tampering seems to be the main
thing that's the
only one so just stick with the fires for a second because
there's very little good information here about what's
really happening yeah, of course.
You always play the fires up in Europe a bit yeah, we just it's
actually they're more contained than before they've already
burned down with again a burn down did already killed what
they're going to kill too many just fire up north killed about
probably I think it's up to about 50 plus people it's gonna
be 100 Wow. Maybe
hasn't has the death toll. Um, there's been plenty of times
that this these areas have burned down in Malibu certainly
93. I
think the problem with these these areas here were for one
thing with Malibu you can run into the ocean. Up there,
there's one road in one road out and then the whole place starts
burning. The roads get blocked and people get stuck in their
cars. They gotta jump in the river streams is a terrible
situation.
I've ever been in this many casualties in a fire like that.
No. Godbout apparently has died in the fire to a nearby town
near paradise who build guide beds very famous. microcomputer
pioneer did the Concord pro computers. He had a operation in
Oakland where he sold electronic gear to this local guy.
That's too bad. I mean, all we're getting over here is just
reports from celebrities. Oh, yeah. They love that over here.
Look, there's Will Smith in the fire. Oh, look, there's pink in
the fire. Oh, look, this is one of the fire. It's just all the
celebrities.
Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. What else is important
that nothing of course, who cares about that? Oh, and the
fact that Trump is wrong about it. Now that's another big
story. Trump said they've mismanaged their water sucks.
And it's celebrities say Trump mismanaged the Trump's as they
mismanaged their water. And it's wrong because we all know it's
global warming.
Yeah, to just while they're trying to blame it on global
warming. Of course.
I did. Clue. I did pick up a couple of interesting theories.
I think this is the the most realistic as the report comes
from. Pacific Gas and Electric themselves.
There's a pg&e Finishing lower by more than 20% Today, after
the company disclosed an electric incident that happened
right before the campfire wildfire began in Northern
California. Last week, the company putting out a statement
saying, quote, the cause of the campfire has not yet been
determined. PG and E has provided an electric incident
report to the safety and enforcement division of the
California Public Utilities Commission with respect to this
fire. The information provided in this report is preliminary
and PG and E will fully cooperate with any
investigations. The company also offered his condolences to those
affected by the wildfire saying quote, Our hearts are with the
communities impacted by the campfire. Although the
investigation is still ongoing, PG and E says if it is found
liable for the wildfire, its insurance would not be enough to
cover the costs of damages.
So did this start because of this? This election is the
problem they had
well, something I don't know why it's called the camp. You know
why it's called the camp fire
because it was apparently a campfire that got out of
control.
Yes. Okay, well, who are you going to shoot for that?
Well, not TG not PG and E, that's for sure.
So they've come up with this thing that I mean, it's PGD is
negligent in general, but somebody claims this awesome
sparks coming from one of the transmission towers And the fire
started and next thing you know are the burn the place down,
despite the fact that has always been called the camp fire,
because it was started by a campfire that went out of
control and it doesn't take much of you in the right area, right.
But that to happen just spreads in every which way. And it was.
But now okay, we're going to have a new theory and PGS PG
knees like that probably has something to do with it.
Now the other thing that there's a really there's a couple of
good conspiracy theory threads about this where she'd
appreciate. Of course, this was a directed energy weapon. This
is obvious when you see the you see, the trees
are not out to get paradise for a year. Yeah,
no, actually, here's the theory. If you follow and only you would
know this, I don't know if this is true or not. But if you
follow the path of these fires, and there's a whole bunch of
little fires all the way down, that apparently is very close to
the High Speed Rail path. That would need to
be nowhere near what I thought. That's what I thought. Nothing.
Just no high speed rail that's going to be running through that
area. For sure. in Butte County. Yeah. Come on.
I'm just selling it. That's the theory out there. Thank you for
no
high speed rail running through Malibu that I know of. No, the
whole thing is that I saw that too. We had one of our one of
our producers send it around. Exactly. This is bullcrap. I
have to. I mean, it's just like really out there.
Yeah. Yeah. But it's, this is cleared up them. By the way, for
those of you who are wondering why it sounds a little bit
different today is because I'm on location. And I think we've
gotten pretty well. We've gotten pretty spoiled by both having a
gigabit between our two stations. It just sounds so much
better when we're both on gigabits.
Limited certain parts of the world
might have gigabit there but no, no, I've got I've got total crap
that are
always in that same little area. I'm sorry. You're always in that
same little area of Holland some ritzy little area. We're all
there.
Yes, yes, I am. But I'm not in the in the facility that have
been able to use previously which was fantastic. Which is an
actual studio with a with a better connection than here like
a business level connection. I guess they have. So I'm just I'm
staying with a buddy. The reason I'm here, by the way, since you
didn't ask
is
because I was invited to come do a Bar Mitzvah. So I got a ticket
and I want to see my daughter anyway. And I figured what a
great time to be over here. Just because I was so sick and tired
of the US. Media blaring the same crap outta me. And at least
now I'm fresh here tonight against
the US media, blurring the same crap at you through the European
media.
Well, of course the big news here today is Brexit, which I
have a bit of a report on but I do need to give you some
important Netherlands updates since today, we had the good
holy man Sinterklaas. The Dutch version of Santa Claus came in
from Spain on his steam ship. is he bringing his buddies with
them he has his black Pete's as there was a court ruling
yesterday, yesterday, the day before yesterday, that said, no
problem. The pizzas can be black, bring them on.
So that is you have a bunch of people in blackface. We have
people in blackface. It's not quite the same here in the
Netherlands that they don't know the blackface culture. But of
course, you have so many different cultures now in the
Netherlands, certainly in Amsterdam. That is confusing to
a lot of people. And so I don't know if there were any, any
fights or any protests that I've seen yet, but it's a protest,
it seems to me I'm sure there was something about the black
pizza. I think I asked this every year but I I have a short
memory while does use black people. There are black people
in Holland.
I'm not so sure that they're that they don't use black people
that but they even if they have black people, they'll still put
the big red lips on and the curly hair and the hat and the
whole garb, which can always still be seen as racist. But
yeah, I don't think well, from you know, it's it's, look, the
Dutch High Court determined he was okay. It's not racist. It's
the culture and go ahead and proceed as planned. So
what about the European Criminal Court? Can't they go after a
Holland?
I'm sure they will say Well, that's this has all been a you
know, a un I know. I know. I'm just kidding. But here's the
crazy thing that's going on in Amsterdam, and this is very
disturbing. Now we have there's a new mayor Femke Halsema. She's
from the Green Left Party. She used to be yes called through
links green left so there they represent left wing I agree that
like the Greens finally left now it's green left so the Green
Left Party that left of center and they stand for all things
green and she used to be actually has quite a long career
in Dutch politics in in Parliament and now she is in
charge of Amsterdam which is falling apart the police she's
the mayor yeah she's the mayor new mayor. Okay The police can't
even they don't they don't even do anything with with stuff
happening in the in the city with a tourist is going wild.
Because even if they say something they get beat up and
they're afraid the cops are actually afraid to do anything
of the chores that tourists have been beating up cops. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Especially what yeah, the Brits when you got a big
Listen, the Brits are the worst. When they're
in Amsterdam they are Yeah, they get really drunk really high.
Really loud, really obnoxious and and violence. Not all of
them. Of course.
It gives Zephyr by the way just for your information. All right,
foam going.
Alright, so if you I don't know when's the last time you were in
Amsterdam. I don't know how long ago this was. But in front of
the right.
was a while back probably four or five years ago.
Well, here's a little test. There's an iconic piece of
artwork in Amsterdam, right in front of the Reich's museum
people love taking pictures in front of it are you familiar
with what this is?
Is it is it the boy paying or
is it no that's that's Brussels not even close with keep trying.
It's the big I Amsterdam logo. You've seen this? Yes, I have
it's i and then the A and the M is in red and then stirred am
and it's I Amsterdam I am Amsterdam is the idea. And
people whenever they specially now these days it's been around
for I know it's been here for years and years. People come in
they like Oh, we love this want to get a picture taken in front
of it. It's fantastic. It's a big, big tourist attraction. But
our mayor here in Amsterdam said this has to go because I
Amsterdam is only individualistic and we want
solidarity in our city. And it as of last week, as of last
week. It is gone. John it is gone. They removed it. Wow. Can
you believe that?
Yeah, yeah, they removed a piece of art because it's doesn't
indicate enough communism?
Yes. Salah didn't know literally it was I Amsterdam is too
individualistic. We need solidarity. And so this has to
go and they voted and it's gone.
It's collectivism collectivism,
there you go. That's the word was shocking, though, to me.
Shocking. It's just insane. That is nuts. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah. It's just a tourist attraction thing.
It actually it was a marketing.
It was, well, people were taking their wheat, there was their
signage in China that I got a kick out of I noticed this
across from Taiwan. This area of China has this big giant sign
and things like 10 stories high sending some message to Taiwan,
one nation, you know, some kind of thing. And it's a big giant
red sign and this all lit up at night so you can actually see it
from Taiwan. If you have binoculars All right, and people
just flocked to this thing they have their picture taken in
front of it people like stuff like that yeah so they would
like something like that the the art in front of the museum and
then they just now they're denied it.
And it's not like less tourists are going to coast. Yeah, sounds
like less tourists are going to come to Amsterdam because the
sign isn't here.
But they're going to be disappointed. They want to have
their picture taken by the sign they're going to be depressed is
going to make it that negative vibe in the city. Yes, generally
speaking is going to be contagious. And then pretty soon
they'll be burning down the place. Doesn't take much
could happen any minute now. All right, so on the on the TV here
for the for the week. It's been one message before we even we
knew there was a Brexit deal the message was everybody you gotta
get ready for Brexit particularly if you're doing
business with the UK. You've got to get your your IT systems
ready for customs that you'll be paying and get ready, get ready
and everyone's going. We don't know what to do. What exactly
we're going to do has nothing to get ready for. They really don't
know. Here's here's the reporting from this morning as
as the Brexit deal became known, and of course the first the
first party members and their cabinet members I think start
Ready to resign
Welcome back to the program this morning resign.
It's lovely to have you with
us. Well, I think the report will tell us
as we continue this very Brexit heavy morning, in order to get
the very latest from the UK, we're going to head straight
over to Westminster, because since we last spoke to you, and
there has been another resignation, Vincent, in
Westminster, give us the update. We're now we're into our third
resignation of the morning.
Yeah, well, we only had a short break there. But already Theresa
May has lost another cabinet. Secretary of State This is
estimate very the Work and Pensions secretary, I've been
saying on air for the last 24 hours, she was the most likely
person to quit from cabinet She is a strong brexiteer. She's
also in domestic trouble with a policy called Universal Credit
here. So that is a nice time for her to resign in protest. And
she's just tweeted out a two page letter. I've just been
scanning through it here very similar to that of Dominic Rob,
who obviously the Brexit Secretary quit in the last hour
as well. She says that the deal that was put before cabinet does
not honor the result of the referendum. Indeed, it doesn't
meet the tests you set out from the outset of your Premiership.
She then goes on to talk about what we won't have control of
about the 39 billion will have to pay the EU to get out. And
she says it also threatens the integrity of the United Kingdom,
which as a Unionist is a risk I cannot take she then goes a
little bit on the attack of the Prime Minister something that
Dominic Raab didn't do. She says that the we have gone from no
deal is better than a bad deal to any deal is better than no
deal. I cannot defend this. And I cannot vote for this deal. I
could not look my constituents in the eye to do that. I
therefore have no alternative. But to resign from the
government. She talks about her time in the Work and Pensions
department but then finishes by saying in politics, you have to
be true to the public. And also true to yourself. Have I stayed
in the government and supported this deal with the EU I wouldn't
be doing that.
So here's the Brexiteers not liking the deal. It's more than
500 pages, of course, I started to read it, I don't expect to
have any kind of analysis. Hopefully by Sunday. It's a
little different than the newest legislation. So just kind of
plowing through it. But here's a one and a half minute summary,
which is kind of what you'd expect. Here is the 585
page Brexit withdrawal agreement, which will seal the
terms of the UK is divorced from the EU, a few things jump out,
they have managed to solve that problem of having an insurance
policy to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland. If the
future trading relationship doesn't solve that problem. If
it was used, it would see Northern Ireland staying in the
EU Customs Union, but simultaneously being part of a
new UK wide customs relationship with the rest of the EU. If that
came into force, it would come with strings attached, the UK
would have to sign up to several areas of EU law, perhaps
Environment Protection, social protection, and how the
government would intervene to help companies so called state
aid, there's going to be quite a complicated system for solving
disputes that arise as a result of this treaty with lots of
committees. One of them will be an independent arbitration panel
made up of independent people, but they will have the power to
refer matters related to EU law to the European Court of
Justice. So the EC J will have a role in this in the years to
come. It's all wrapped up in lots of very optimistic language
about both sides using their best endeavours to negotiate a
permanent future relationship and to act in good faith at all
times. Also, that post Brexit transition period which is due
to end currently in December 2020 could be extended once
although the document doesn't say until when I my personal
favorite, the tricky issue that was left right to the end, what
to do about protecting EU regional products from specific
places like parma ham, Gorgonzola feta cheese, the UK
has signed up to the EU proposal that protection for those
products is written in to British law
had just doesn't sound like a great deal to me except the last
bit is probably what most of it is about protectionism of
cheese.
No, big deal in the report. I have a PBS report we can play.
But the 39 billion according to PBS is 80 billion and is 80
billion a year. And we we got none of this information about
these guys quitting left and right but let's play Brexit
update PBS and the European
Union when it comes to divorce. As is always the case, the
hardest negotiations can be over property money and the children
and choose. And so it is with Brexit. A divorce where there's
not only two sides, but the British family is fighting
within itself. Prime Minister Theresa May is proposing a kind
of divorce with a transition period of remaining
friends. And what I just noticed, I'm no longer hearing
the D word here, when it comes to Brexit divorce thing. They're
past that or when I mean, of course, I don't live here, but I
don't hear this divorce anymore. And we heard that for a long
time. Maybe it's just the US way of looking at it
is the best deal possible.
The choice was this deal, which enables us to take back control
and to build a brighter future for our country, or going back
to square one. With more division, more uncertainty, or
the failure to deliver on the referendum
on property. The sticking point has been the border between
Northern Ireland, part of the UK and the Republic of Ireland, a
separate country that's part of the EU. Today, cars can pass
easily because there's effectively no border. The
Brexit agreement prevents the return of a hard border by
temporarily keeping Northern Ireland inside the EU Customs
Union, avoiding customs checks between Northern Ireland and
Ireland on money. Britain would continue to pay the EU as much
as $80 billion for decades. And as for the children, British
citizens living in the EU and EU citizens living in Britain, they
would maintain current residents and social security rights. This
morning and Parliament may presented the deal as the kind
of divorce mandated by the Brexit referendum.
We will take back control of our money laws and borders. We will
deliver Brexit and the United Kingdom is leaving the European
Union on the 29th of March 2019.
These critics from her own party say the break isn't hard enough.
Leading Brexit proponent Jacob Riis. Mog wants a divorce,
that's a cleaner split
because your husband say much struck a deal is surrendered to
Brussels and given him to them on everything that they want,
and tried to frustrate Brexit, that it is not so much the
vassal state anymore as the slave state. Slaves.
Very nice change from a vassal state to a slave state. Yeah,
good work.
It's a Hail Mary, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't seem
actually you know, of course, since Nigel Farage, he screwed
it up by bowing out and kind of backing off after he led this
whole. He basically dropped the Bossy, he dropped the ball. He
dropped the ball, dropped the ball, but he didn't know what
happened was
just like one of those guys, you know, he's seen on American
football. You'll see this once in a while. This guy's wide open
as a receiver and he's running. He got the ball. There's nobody
around him. And he's gonna run 40 to 40 5060 yards to the
endzone. And as he's running because he's a cocky SON OF A
BITCH starts Hi, Stephen Ross start up ball, literally before
he crosses the endzone line. Yeah, this happens at least once
or twice a year. Now just
imagine. Just imagine that guy with bad teeth. And that's
Farage.
Drop. So you imagine Faraj running down the field. And now
he's celibate prematurely celebrating and casually drops
the ball because he thinks it's cool. But it's before he got to
the goal line. Well, what Faraj has done, he tried to reduce the
plight of the dam.
Yeah, well, he tried to redeem himself in the European
Parliament. And we always love listening to Nigel, especially
in this case. Angular was there. And Angela Merkel and as you
know, there's a we'll probably have some clips of that too, for
later, whatever, regarding the weaponization of the United
States, and I heard a clip. Let's do that, and then we can
do Faraj and where's your weaponization clip?
That's the price as Merkel and the EU army I would be exactly
the one here we go. And German Chancellor Angela Merkel called
Tuesday for the future development of a European Union
military. Beyond the goals of fortunately, but we have made a
lot of progress in the area
of victory said Reverend rota farts kiloton did she say we did
made a big fart?
Yes, that's exactly what she said,
for the future development of a European Union military. feom
goes to Foxwoods, we have made a lot of progress in the area of
structural military cooperation. That's good, and it's mostly
supported here. But we should and I'm saying this also because
of developments in recent years, we should work on a vision of
one day establishing a real European army. Bachelot
statements echoed vision recently expressed by French
president Emmanuel Macron. President Trump attacked Macron
during a tweet storm Tuesday following his 10th visit to
Paris for armistice commemoration events over the
weekend, Trump wrote Emmanuel Macron suggest building its own
army to protect Europe against US China and Russia. But it was
Germany in World Wars one and two How did that work out for
France they were starting to learn German in Paris before the
US came along. Page for NATO or not. Trump tweeted
number of reasons he was so rude about that but let's listen to
Farage as he directly addresses Merkel who's just sitting there
scowling and and And well, here's what he had to say, Well,
Mrs.
Merkel, many of my Euroskeptic colleagues have been booing you
this morning. But they shouldn't be in a way because the British
should be cheering you without you, we'd never have made it
over the line with Brexit. And I want to thank you very much for
that. And, of course, many of these Euroskeptic groups on the
right, the center on the left, we'll come back here after the
next European elections, in huge numbers directly as a result of
your immigration and asylum policy, you're weakened cope,
led to a huge migrant tide, indeed a stampede that came
across the Mediterranean, young men coming from very different
cultures, who were not going to integrate young man, none of
whom would have qualified as being genuine refugees. And I
think in many ways, we looked at it in the referendum. And we
said, we don't want to be part of an increasingly German
dominated European Union. And we certainly don't want to pay the
price for Mrs. Merkel's errors. And I believe having heard you
today, and listening to senior French politicians over the last
couple of days, that are for us leaving the European Union is
now indeed, a liberation. It's a European Union that we're told
is now to become an empire, a militarized European Union and
undemocratic European Union, a European Union that seeks to
continually expand to the east, a European Union that has
launched a new cold war against the United States of America, a
European Union that tries to rewrite history and I think 100
years from the armistice, we should be genuinely worried. The
idea that this new militarized union is somehow a recipe for
peace, I suggest you will sit back and think a little bit more
carefully. Maybe you should all reread history, the European
project was set up to stop German domination. What you've
seen today is a naked takeover bid. So I think Brexit becomes a
necessity after this. For the rest of the countries. Mrs.
Merkel, you've had a long, successful career. But your
political decision to open up the doors unconditionally is the
worst decision we've seen in post war politics in Europe. Is
it not time for you at last to admit that you were wrong? Is it
not time for you to say to German communities and many
others I'm sorry for what I've done to you and the problems
I've inflicted upon you for many decades to come.
There you go. minor, A minor redemption by the redemption.
So that Parliament there's just a bunch of people complaining,
oh, they have no power so powers they just get didn't they get to
talk so many? I guess it gets so many minutes a month like 10
Something like there's not a lot and Farage gets to go up and do
his normal thing.
I'll tell you. I follow why he does a great job of it. But I
follow one Dutch Euro Parliament parliamentarian on Twitter.
Marika. Houches, whatever her name is, but all I see you're
doing is she's on Twitter all day to some Twitter all day
commenting on Trump. And Trump, well, she's like, well,
hopefully we never have this here. You know, stuff like that.
Pay attention to him. We don't want that. Hear that stuff like
that all day, all day. She's just tweeting like, of course I
want to I want to tweet and said go do something else. But I
usually wind up erasing the tweet before I send it. It's
very smart, I think. Yes. And then we had the just a quick
review of the armistice. There's a lot of things that happen at
this armistice event. And one of our producers was boots on the
ground he gave us a little rundown of Did you see that? His
rundown of the whole ceremony? No, I missed it. This is
producer Bob. He just did bullet points. I'll just share him.
Trump was hating the ceremony with good reason. But the two
way arm slap with Putin was interesting macaron. He said the
whole thing was really a third rate production. First of all,
Trump and Putin were late so they missed the the 11am events.
So they were both late so we know it was going on there.
Democrats mic didn't work. They had to. They had to get a backup
a backup handheld. Yo Yo Ma played two songs. Meanwhile, the
background of the main shot had empty chairs now it was
drizzling bacilli, you know you got a worldwide audience. What
are people thinking? They don't have any production here.
brought in some singer from Africa. They played the Bolero.
I mean all things which really have nothing to do with Europe
or armistice.
You know, if you're producing this sort of thing, you hire
people to sit in those empty seats.
Of course you do. Of course, you remove
the seats, you
get a bunch of people that have signs called Looking at blacks
for Trump, that's what you that's what you want.
Well that's yeah, that'd be cool. There was removed the
seats to
add a couple of teenagers speaking at the ceremony, one of
which spoken Mandarin. Again kind of unclear as to why
macarons
what does that got to do with World War One? Oh,
no. But it's you know, it's New World Order man has nothing to
do with that. It's just let's it's multi CultI no nations no
borders. Everyone's welcome. McCrone speech went on for 90
minutes was apparently pretty, pretty boring. And all the world
leaders were just standing there was cold, they were getting wet.
They found a different look pretty miserable, to see what
else did we have banned real fast and one
of them should have had this thing you can buy? Usually I
have one of them. I bought it at in Arizona, for ordering a kind
of spring practice for the baseball teams. It's and I think
one of them should have been wearing this. You may have seen
him. It's like a hat. But it's I mean, it fits like a hat. But
it's actually a small umbrella with all kinds of colors on
it. Yes. That would trump would look great in that.
I think Trump is great in that.
So we had this fractious, where Macron, you know, just like
would happen here in the States went out of his way to say
nationalism is the exact opposite of patriotism. And
there was a couple of slides that I don't think Did you hear
about what Trudeau said about, about nationalism and probably
didn't get any AirPlay over there? No, no, no, no, no. Okay,
so here's a report from the National. And actually, it's
interesting, everyone translated with Macron said differently. I
don't know if it makes that much difference. But here it is.
French President Emmanuel Macron reminded his fellow leaders of
the horrendous cost of war and he warned of what he called Old
demons rising to the surface
gotta look better for your teeth now. Exact to compare the
nationalism.
Nationalism is the opposite of patriotism.
What I thought was interesting is he actually said patriotism
is the opposite of nationalism. Yet everyone translated it as
nationalism is the opposite of patriotism. It may seem minor,
but I don't think it is. Or my just am fucking on this.
You might be you might be. It's also the other way things are
structured in French. You can maybe you could flop things
around a little bit. I just
found it interesting. Yeah. Anyway, let's continue this
gonna look better for your T SMA, exec to compare
nationalism.
Nationalism is the opposite of patriotism. Macron said, when we
say our interests first, who cares about the others, we erase
what a nation holds dearest, its moral values. macrons message
was delivered in front of Donald Trump, a self described
nationalist and champion of America first, the US president
was listening just steps away. But if he was offended, it
didn't show and Macron was not alone. In his warning. If a
democracy
is to function, you need to have an educated populace and you
need to have an informed populace.
Well, that wouldn't be America boy,
Justin Trudeau is
not gonna happen. Exactly. That's nowhere
ceremony Oh, Paris peace forum organized to mark this 100 year
anniversary. Trudeau called out those in power who attack the
media.
We got to guess who he's talking about.
Saying that can only weaken democracy
when people feel their institutions can't protect them.
They look for easy answers in populism and nationalism, in
closing borders, in shutting down trade in
redrawn. Look for easy answers in podcasting.
Thank you very much. That's where it's easy. They
look for easy answers. In populism and nationalism, of
closing borders. In shutting down trade in you sent a phobia.
Trudeau didn't mention any politicians by name, but Russian
President Vladimir Putin, who Trudeau sat next to at the Peace
Forum has been accused of using social media to foster confusion
and influence elections. Trudeau never mentioned Donald Trump
either. But the US president routinely calls the media
enemies of the people and has a habit of labeling any story. He
doesn't like fake news. Trump wasn't there to hear Trudeau
anyways, he skipped the piece for him altogether
since he's in Canada. In Canada, is it okay to say anyways Is
that is that is that Canadian English
let me think. Anyways,
I just found it. Just kind of odd. Anyway you wouldn't anyways
maybe it's okay there. But I did I have been asking around
here a gone Oh, hey,
I've been asking around and I've said no do you here in Holland
do you force this is a country that was devastated by the by
the Nazis? Is nationalism bad here? And pretty much everyone
says yeah it's it's bad it's not he's not a good thing to be
calling yourself a nationalist. And to me I just find it rather
odd that here we are for probably the past 7080 years
nationalism has been has been defined in every dictionary I've
looked at online, but it's patriotism as patriotism. So why
didn't we change that in the ditch? I mean, it's okay, the
word gay has
changed. This is hijacking the language
when did the hijack
was hijacked? But that word was hijacked? Probably. Well, you
know, they would blame you know, the you could see that
interpretation. Well, the Nazis? Well, yes, of course, this and
well, actually. I mean, the Japanese, I don't know,
if you look up the word gay in the dictionary, which is really
only meant homosexual. In the past, what, 30 years?
I don't remember where it began, but it just took off. Yeah, but
but not 70 years, homosexual men and women.
Yes. But that's in the dictionary as an alternative
description for nationalist nationalism. There is no
description of it being the opposite of patriotism. In fact,
the first description of every dictionary I could find is it is
the same as patriotism.
Well, the gay definition if you looked at a dictionary from the
1920s, wouldn't have no correct sexuality as an alternative, but
it does indeed appear as one. And thus, since it did appear at
some point as one because that's the way dictionaries work. The
nationalism thing has to appear as one but eventually in one of
the dictionaries and they'll take off and then pretty soon
Yes, listen will be a bad word.
I think it should be word of the year. I do have a description
from Japan be right, by the way, could happen. Jim Kessler, who's
this third way as some think tank, I guess he's a VP of
policy. Anyway, he was on on Tucker, I can't talk her out.
Cuz just annoys me to hear him. And so I put together his
definition of nationalism.
Of course, a leader is going to put the interests of their own
country ahead of others. That's not nationalism. Nationalism is
a loaded term. I mean, the definition of patriotism.
Patriotism is I love my country, and nationalism is I hate your
country.
I couldn't find that in any dictionary, just
making it up as he goes along
to definition of nationalism, especially when you're in the
European context where President Trump made that statement is the
nationalism that engulfed Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. The
Nationalist Socialist Workers Party, that's the end for Nazi
Ronald Reagan never use the term nationalist, he has the term
patriotism, and especially, Donald Trump is using this as a
weapon. So certainly, in the European context, everyone knows
that nationalism is what led to the rise of Nazi Germany. And
look, of course, you want your leaders to put the the
Is that true? Is it is it truly nationalism that led to the rise
of Nazi Germany?
I think the interpretation can be made. It's just an
interpretation of what led to the rise of Nazi Germany, Latvia
was it was the economic conditions and it was also the
way they retreated after after World War One was Charles de
Gaulle out of reasons that you get involved. was Charles de
Gaulle, a nationalist? Yeah, I would, I would say to the, to
the max,
you seen as a horrible man,
only by people who worked with him.
So, certainly, in the European context, everyone knows that
nationalism is what led to the rise of Nazi Germany. And look,
of course, you want your leaders to put the interests of your
nation ahead of others. That's what nationalism, nationalism is
not that
oops. Isn't that great? Let's hear that one. Again.
Everyone knows that nationalism is what led to the rise of Nazi
Germany. And look, of course, you want your leaders to put the
the interests of your nation ahead of others. That's what
nationalism, nationalism is not that nationalism is basically
saying, our country is always right. There are other countries
they are always wrong, and it is to separate us from other
countries. And that's and he is using that term as a weapon
because that word is now a loaded term based on what
happened in the 1920s and 30s. And you know, Wait,
I would love to see that in the dictionary. It means that you
love your country and other countries are wrong, I thought
would be a great definition if we put it in there,
where he used it. And I do one thing. I do want to mention that
Well, everybody, well, at least people who study the law,
Trump's the way Trump operates. Yeah, he's doing it on purpose.
Of course
he is. What? Nothing else is new. I was gonna say something.
I forgot. I was gonna say that get back to your thought about
this. Well, here's your dictionary. Well, here's my
thought for a second, that everyone's falling over Trump's
purposeful use of the word nationalist. And you know, so we
know why he said it. But we also know why he said it because he
wanted to call out all the white nationalists, which by the way,
the French were in charge talking about that. No one was
talking about, you know, nationalist being a racist
thing. See, in the States, it was a dog whistle to the kk k.
But over here, true or not? That was exactly what was said, Oh,
we all know, I'm not arguing with you. Yeah. But over in
Europe, it's like, well, I know he's a Nazi. It's not the same
thing. But when Trump did his inauguration inaugural address,
he used the word patriot and patriotism. And what what did
the press say about that dark speech? Very dark, dark speech,
indeed, a bad day for America? Because he used patriotism. I
remember it.
I remember the dark speech thing, too. Yeah. So anyway, so
he uses nationalism to Jack him up. Yeah. Well, they were fees,
of course, white nationalism, which of course, means white
supremacy. Yes. Which means the man. That's right. That's right.
Well, that is causing a lot of interesting problems in the
United States with, you know, they don't know what to do,
because the Democrats took over the house with more than enough
seats to say they won. And so Pelosi is back in play.
Yeah. Now Has this happened yet? Has we
ongoing? Because there's two there's two steps. First, Pelosi
has to take almost all the party because she asked her to take
over speaker the house, the whole house votes. And then of
course, the other party in power will vote for somebody that's
not going to win. You know, who's a Republican?
Well, hold on a second. Hold on a second. That's, I mean, Trump
said he would get extra votes for her from the Republican side
if she needed it. But what I'm seeing over here, at least, is
there's a faction of mainly I see AOC Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez, walking around demonstrating and she's a real
troublemaker
where she's gonna find yourself on a naughty, she's gonna find
herself screwed by Nancy Pelosi. Everybody in California knows,
knows about Nancy Pelosi, she is a hard ass, really old fashioned
Politico. And story. Mimi knows a couple of these stories and
she says that Pelosi has one of her tricks is to she's very
personable. Joe is actually kind of dumb. She's a little bit like
that mobster who claimed to be insane while he was running that
gentle vaisya one of the other families in New York and stagger
around in his underwear.
Oh, remember that? The old guy, Don Yeah, I remember. I
remember. And
80s Wasn't it 80s in New York. I don't remember that.
So Pelosi gets people in her office and she's very
personable. I guess she's a charmer and she gets people to
talk. And then she gets anything that she can on I mean that she
uses it against them as blackmail. So she's like a real
hard as type who doesn't you would know it. But these people
are walking. It's all these newbies coming in and it's also
big image. Led by this Marcia Fudge. Fudge. Who? Marcia Fudge
we've talked to her about her before she's a congresswoman
from Ohio. She's kind of in the Maxine Waters. Did Jack Jackson
what's her name Jackson wing of the party. But she's got your
act together a little more in terms of her she doesn't say
crazy stuff. At least I haven't found anything. But your booths
play a clip of Marcia Fudge and and what what where we're
headed? Right representative Marcia Fudge? I would say this
is we tout diversity in this party. There's no diversity in
our leadership.
I mean, if we're going to talk about it, we're going to talk
the talk we need to walk the
walk. We got some diversity.
Yeah, and here's here's deja replay this cup. This is deja
Danz on Pelosi with kicker.
Oh, this is from PBS.
Yes, yes. It
does not have that right now. In particular 10 of the new
freshmen who arrive today campaigned saying that they
would vote no would not support Nancy Pelosi. And there's
another two dozen who haven't said which way they would go. So
there's an insurgent group of Democrats who have put it out
putting out a letter trying to get enough signatures to show
that Nancy Pelosi can't cross that threshold in January. But
we haven't seen the letter yet. It's not clear who their chosen
candidate would be to replace her late today, Ohio
representative Marcia Fudge, who you heard from in our report,
said she might consider running herself, but a lot of questions
about that. Well, we did hear from some of the new and the
former members or longtime members, just now in your
report, but you've also been talking to other folks, I want
to ask you what they're saying and and and the who, I mean, who
would it be if it's not Nancy Pelosi, you just mentioned
Marcia Fudge. But who else? Well, this government surgeon
says that they would like it to be either a woman or a person of
color. And that's one reason Marcia Fudge is a top candidate
because she represents both.
But it's not she gay, there'll be even better care
who else would be in the mix? I think she'd be really important
thing to watch is this new group of freshmen isn't a tricky
position for them. They campaigned on bringing fresh
ideas, new blood to the Capitol, and here they are faced with a
Democratic leadership team that has been in office for 10 to 15
years. Do they oppose them? Do they not? I will say that
there's interesting Judy meeting these new freshmen today, they
are one of the most self possessed and strong group of
new members I've ever met. It's remarkable, especially because
so many are first time candidates.
See what else possessed is the term she used self possessed,
which I think means it I think it actually what it means is
really super confident, overconfident, which I think
that means they're full of themselves.
self obsessed, of course, what I was reading is that Ocasio
Cortez is one of at least 10 But maybe more maybe 14 Democrats
who are trying to block Pelosi she's appointment as or election
within the house. This is right. And so she's gonna find herself
in a world of hurt. I don't think she has any I like what
she's doing. And I think that's you know, she's at least staying
true to her message but watch out. You don't cross Nancy
Pelosi
and then do well if you do you better. You know, if you're
gonna go after you got to take the knives out. You better
finish the job. Yeah, exactly.
If you're gonna pull out the gun, you get pulled the trigger.
Yeah,
I would say there was also a big protest and I have a clip, but I
do
have a call. Yeah, it was the it was the that was changed
protesters
in the in the post office. Listen to this. This is by the
way, there's a piece of there's a woman in here that comes on
and I had to take her segment because it was so hard to
understand because it was poorly miked and I compressed it a
little bit and kind of boosted it. But I You have to listen to
this. This is the woman that kind of one of the spokes women
and yeah, if you could see it, she is clinically I'm get i
because while I'm not a psychiatrist, but she looks
nuts. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And she can you just just to bed you
can see the visual of this.
Okay, I'm closing my I'm closing my eyes though. Is there anyone
that that I can visualize to help?
You know, that woman that was in the middle of the street and the
green thing screaming No, no, no, Trump Trump. Okay, we got
it.
on Capitol Hill police arrested 51 youth climate activists
Tuesday, as they held a non violent sit in protest out
inside the office of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
demanding a green New Deal and urgent action on climate change.
Oh, yeah.
It's the green New Deal. That's where she's pushing. I've been
reading about it.
And I shouldn't mention this. The this was targeted at Pelosi
for no real reason. I could tell she's all been for all this
stuff. I think it's part of this movement to get her kicked out.
And they all had very newly printed T shirts. That all said
the same thing. Some some dumb, but it was just there. It was
very staged. It was very organized. And it was actually
quite interesting to watch. The only thing I think where they
screwed up was to have the spokesperson go nuts on camera.
Philadelphia activists, Sophia Ziaja of the sunrise Movement
said she's compelled to act because of the historic
wildfires raging and Pelosi is home state of California.
Back in Nancy Pelosi, his home states 42 People were just
burned alive by wildfires. Fire tsunamis literally do not know
how to fight. And she's come to that crisis with saying that
she's gonna revive a committee to talk about evidence of
climate change. That maybe would have been helpful back in 1968
When I first learned about climate change,
but then Today, except the climate change was going to
freeze in 1968. Missy, and so
so far from
from what we need. New York Congressmember elect Alexandria
Ocasio Cortez the democratic socialists who last week became
the youngest woman ever elected to Congress joined the protest
inside Pelosi 's office telling the activist she pushed for the
US to get to 100% renewable energy. Ocasio Cortez was on
Capitol Hill for freshman congressional orientation.
Today's protests came as the fate of a landmark lawsuit
brought by young climate activists remains in doubt.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court allowed the case to
proceed but ruled lower courts could continue to weigh in on
its fate. On Thursday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals put a
temporary stay on the case while at here's a challenge from the
Trump administration. The 21 young activist launched their
lawsuit under President Obama arguing the federal government
has failed to take necessary action to curtail fossil fuel
emissions violating their constitutional rights. So
this is the the freshman congresswoman from the 14th
district in New York who complained bitterly she did not
have any money to look for an apartment. Yet she's there with
T shirts. Yeah, and signs. So
this is an invasion of Pelosi private space, and I have
her off her off. Now. It's not going to be appreciated at all.
There's
a lot of people there was more than they rested, like 51, I
think did charge 21 of them. There's about 200 people there.
It was, you know, I saw I saw some he was not covered by the
mainstream media here. It was only covered by Democracy Now.
But all of this stems from and I have to look up the Sunshine
Foundation, whenever it was American look into that. But
over in Europe, the IPCC report the word dead if we don't keep
it under 1.5 degrees warming by 2030, we're dead. We're just
dead. And that's what Ocasio Cortez keeps saying we only have
12 years, 10 years really, here in in Holland, in particular,
the poll, the politicians have taken this, and it is gospel,
and shit is happening fast. I mean, just if you want it Do you
want to live in Amsterdam, do you just you cannot be here
anymore is unless you have a battery car, that will be
mandatory within the next five years. I mean, it's the all the
boats in the canals, including the tourist boats, but all and
it won't just be Amsterdam, gonna be all cities, we're
talking within two years all have to have electric motors.
And it's
think about it, you have electric motors, which need to
be recharged through a grid that can be shut off. If you shut off
the witch,
that's what I keep telling you. That's what I keep telling
everybody, I can have a 55
gallon drum of gasoline in my garage if I want
to pretend you don't.
If I if I was freaked out, or I could go siphon gas from its car
on the side of the road. But with a gas or with these
battery, this is a battery cars to me are a form of control
slave control. Of
course it is. And I can only go so far, by the way. And by the
way, John miles let's say everything you know, there's no
more gas, no more houses being built to have gas connections.
So
nuclear energy to charge everything you don't can't have
that we have to use wind power. Well,
here's so of course, the nuclear energy has been pumped into the
Dutch heads. The Gouda heads. It's like dangerous. We don't
want another Chernobyl. It's gotten so far that one of our
producers said you remember PANDORA'S PROMISE it was
actually a CNN funded documentary? You do because a
sir atomic rod consulted on it. I went to see it in the movie
theater. And it was more like three people were there because
there was some, you know, like the team, Sabrina, the Teenage
Witch opened up next door and it was no one in the theater,
what's called Pandora's Promise. And it's a bunch of former
Greenpeace people who hated nuclear energy. And then once
they really were exposed to some science about it, they
completely flipped. That movie used to be on the Dutch Netflix.
It has been removed. It's gone. That's how far it's going. Yeah.
It's anyway. So this Yeah, the IPCC and Evelyn she so the green
New Deal is what's happening here is a whole new economy
built around batteries, batteries and electricity.
That's the whole economy. And I guess wind and solar as well, to
charge the batteries. But yeah, if you know, if the price of if
the price of oil goes up, your cost of living goes up, but it's
kind of slow. It can take a couple weeks a month, you know
it goes up it goes down. But with electricity, you can just
determine tomorrow But we're just gonna raise the rates it's
completely discretionary. So yes, it's totally slave
control mechanism is much better when you
what you want is you don't want the gas and you want the diesel.
You want the diesel vehicle and then you can do anything with
the diesel.
Yeah, 55 gallon drum. Yeah, that will work
as you hit up, so I do have a crazy social justice warrior
going nuts. You asked me on the other day if I bring a couple
more of crazy clips. Oh, you know, Orange Man bad stuff. Like
that kind of stuff. Yeah, I'm interested to have a course this
is what I liked the best. This is, let me see what which
university was it? Well, I'm just gonna go out on a limb and
say it was in California, just a guess. And Dinesh D'Souza was
doing a speech as you know, Dinesh D'Souza, a very dangerous
man. Troublemaker, troublemaker for sure. But very, very
dangerous man. And I think we could put him in the Nazi
category. Could we put them in the racist category even though
he's brown but can we put them in the racist category? Can we
just put them in all of those categories?
If you feel like it I mean, I'm not going to object to it here
is
someone who was going to see the speech a honestly if I were to
draw a perfect white Republican guy, that would be the guy who's
just standing there talking to this very upset man, white man.
And here's what it sounded like maybe if
someone had stopped Trump. Dinesh D'Souza motherfuckers who
make a living doing great, like you should crawl back into your
mother's rented room, just stay for a few more hours and then
learn something about not being entitled. Why he says shit.
Because there's like you come here and you've got no idea what
it's like to be gay to be a person of color to know what
it's like to live with institutional racism sexism,
homophobia, transphobia Yeah, you realize the Milken fell on
you. And then your little baby, because that's who you can
people are. You fucking cry about chocolate milk and still
don't do you read Jewish women are us in Florida State. Yeah.
Because you deserve it. You deserve a lot worse. I'm
passionate. I don't believe we will see that leads to mass
shootings by angry white brought like you I would tell myself
this yelling yet.
There's some guy who was just he was just saying, Hey, I'm just
gonna go in and watch this lecture. And this guy is just
railing on him. And who to this other this was this Republican
looking guy who just wants to go in and listen to the to the to
the speech.
He's just some random guy. He's screaming. Well,
we don't see the setup, of course of what happened. But the
confrontation is this guy's going in and this guy, he's you
know, he's basically saying you can't go in
there but your amygdala problem DODDS it's this is bad, out of
control he needs to seek therapy does and he's also asked to be
put on meds.
It's like he's not already.
Yes, geez. Wow. Yes. It's
very, very nice. And there was something that happened in your
neck of the woods in Berkeley. This is a this was a very
upsetting affair for the students of Berkeley. And it's,
I have to have a report and I think I can explain it. This is
by the way, it's only about student, the student Congress.
And so I guess they all pretend like they have government at
school and they have senators. I wasn't aware of this.
Associated Students University a suck. Yeah.
What's it called? Asa K suck. Okay. Well, Senator Chow, who
was an elected senator at the school is an she's Asian
American, and she's Christian. And the width is holdest. And
they had five hours of people yelling about about her because
she has to be denounced and she needs to resign. And the reason
she needs to be denounced, I will tell you when Barack Obama
was president, he he sent a letter that was a thing it's a
friend of the court letter, maybe I don't know if was a
friend of the court but a friend of something letter regarding
Title Nine. And Title line is very, very simple. It says any
school says any school in the United States that it has any
type of federal funding, may not this discriminate based on sex.
And what the Obama administration did is they wrote
a letter. And the letter said, By the way, sex and gender are
interchangeable. That's how you should interpret Title Nine. And
this is how we got the bathroom issue. Because you could then
identify as a woman and go to the female bathroom. And so they
changed the interpretation that didn't change. The title nine
didn't change the Civil Rights Act, which is what Title Nine is
a part of. They just said, this is how you interpret it. The
there is an understanding that the Trump administration wants
to send their own letter and and say, No, gender is not the same
as sex and sex is determined at birth or pre birth. And it comes
right down to chromosomes. And what was expected is that the
entire student government denounced that's really what was
the denounce denounce that memo, which has not been published,
which is not there's no law, it's just interpretation. But
everyone has to yell and scream about that. And she said, Look,
I have to be true to my faith. I am Christian. So I believe that
there's a man and a woman. And that is the only two types of
sex you have. And I'm going to abstain from voting against
this, you know,
she has to be denounced just for abstaining. Yes,
abstaining, abstaining. And it got heated. What was interesting
about this, and I'll just play a little bit of this clip within
like 40 seconds or something. So this is a, you know, a big room
and their speaker after speaker that 100 different speakers all
bitching and moaning about this, but the kids in the in the
auditorium. There's some applauding going on, but in
general, they're all finger snapping. It's just finger
snaps. Which I know you kind of like because you know, you were
a
cool man makes you back to the 50s was exactly what we want to
say no fight back.
Last week, Senate agenda appeared to be business as
usual. But this week's meeting was anything but normal, after
making anti LGBTQ plus statements, and anti
so she's being accused of making anti LGBTQ plus statements. By
not by abstaining from a vote. That's why she's she's being
accused of being anti to get this clip from this is Cal TV.
This is Berkeley's own on campus TV station.
Wow, I find
it to be business as usual. But this week's meeting was anything
but normal. After making anti LGBTQ plus statements last week,
as you see Senator Isabella Chow met with backlash. It was
standing room only in the Senate chambers, supporters of Chow and
a vast majority of protesters spoke, as you see tells us that
over 100 public comments were made in the span of three hours.
So maybe the senator who is sitting here right now to count
as well. We're the only ones to mandate for your peer which sent
the big going against the ACC constitution. I am ashamed of
y'all sitting here who have not denounced her. A petition
circulated prior to the meeting, calling for child to resign.
Other calls included the possibility of a recall, as well
as urging the ASU C to revoke sponsorship from the
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, who actively
supported Ciao undergrad grad students and even alumni took to
the podium.
Alumni told me it's alumni.
Yes, alumni so you think is that what she was talking about? I
don't know what the word was, she said was
varsity Christian Fellowship, who actively supported Ciao,
undergrad grad students and even alumni. The podium
tonight is not about bullying. Senator child, but making our
campus and wider community understand the impacts of
invalidating and demeaning red snaps. Tonight is not about free
speech but about the separation of prejudice and personal
beliefs with institutional policy. Tonight is not about
dismissing the Christian Christianity as universally
toxic but about validating the experience of those at the hands
of bigots who have cowardly hid behind religion to justify their
actions,
saying that this student fellow student is a coward and Hindy
hiding behind her religion
to be normal is toxic, universally toxic,
toxic, no, I think he said we don't want to call it
universally toxic. No, I
don't think he said Yeah, he did. He did. Boy did oh Well, he
said it in a way away. Yes, I
agree that it was purposely said that way. But wow, I mean, just
wow. I mean, they're all playing grown up and they're just a
bunch of punks really? Are they know these children? Government
and we're
gonna sound like the mock you and recall votes
I mean come on. It's just It's just crazy and they can't even
get the acronym right I am the only true official source of the
acronym. And I will give it to you again. LGBTQ q i APK.
There's no plus k is the last one and that stands for kink.
And that is all you need to know. However, our buddy Down
Down Under Maynard he's always said that a little cool
interviews and this one is actually works well for us. He
interviewed Fiona pattern who is I think she's a member of the
sex party, which now is called the reason party. But he grabbed
a hold of her and said, anyway asked her about the acronym and
that
seems to be so common, doesn't it? Thou doth protest too much,
because usually in the religious circles,
the ones that really hate the gays tend out to well, they tend
to live with a dick Maynard just what did he say? He said,
the ones who are the most vocal about gays tend to like a dick.
I think he said let's check it again. Just
circles the ones that really hate the gays tend out to well,
they tend to like with a dick.
Right? Exactly. Yes, I'm not gay, but the guy I fuck is Yeah.
How
do you go on doing the LBGT Qi? Can you actually say that in one
sentence, go go
LGBTI q plus a plus at the end?
Does that just include everyone else to stop adding more
letters? What's the reason for that? I
think we're gonna come to Yes, we cannot add any more letters
to that acronym. In fact, I tend to just call it my rainbow
community or my rainbow family.
Oh, there you go. My rainbow family. I like that.
Rainbow family. Some family.
Thanks, Maynard. Hey, by the way, just a question. Seeing as
there's been such controversy over the Redskins as a sports
team. Yeah. Should we not have the same conversation about the
Nationals?
Well, if they're called a nationalisms,
no, they're not called the Nationals is a member of the
sports team, the Nationals a nationalist.
You know, I think, well, you that's just a facetious
question. But I would say that if you put together a pressure
group, and made a stink about it, using nationalism as the
basis, we could probably do that you could get some traction.
Then with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to you, John C, which is just one of the
seasons the IPCC report Devora. Back
in the morning, you and Mr. Adam curry from faraway oil ships had
seen a boots on the ground that feet near the subject water and
all the games and other nights out there
in the morning to the troll room. Hey, trolls, no agenda.
stream.com is where you can listen, live and join the troll
room. They always get the bad signal on Thursday and Sunday
mornings us time and thank you for being here and keeping us
live and on our toes. Also a big in the morning to cesium 137 He
brought us the artwork for episode 1085. The title of that
was trans aged. And this was an interesting piece of art for two
reasons. One, it was just a great piece of art with the if
you recall genre was the multiple profile faces and the
white one in the middle with the big X on the forehead. Right?
That same day that we released this. Yeah, and I think Nick
Nick, the rat tweeted it. The Google homepage image was
eerily similar.
Do you think they stole it?
No, I don't know why it could have been the other way around.
Maybe cesium got inspired. I don't know.
I don't think so. He seems not that kind of guy. No, I don't
ever gets inspired.
I'm not I wouldn't ever say that he had done that. Of course.
What happened here? Brother.
Still working? Yeah, okay. But it was it was uncanny. It was
like wow, it looks that means not the same. But it's the same
concept was very interesting. And we thank cesium 137 for the
beautiful piece of art and all of our artists who diligently
support the program by giving us art to choose or choose from not
just for the for the album art of the show, but also for the
newsletter and of course a lot of this does wind up at no
agenda shop.com It's no agenda art generator.com Thank you
again, everyone for your courage, especially cesium 137.
Well, we do have a few people to thank for show 1086 As we head
to show 1089 which is an important show for the for all
kinds of symbolic and metaphorical reasons okay. Why
It's 33 squared.
Oh, is that 1089? Yeah. 33 squared. Yeah.
Excellent.
All right, multiply 33 times 33 You get 1089.
Fantastic. All right. Well, we're not there yet.
Now we get go for shows ago it's coming soon. Sir anonymous of
Dogpatch $1,000 And, and 2002. Nice. I put it the two a two to
two bucks. So, he did send a note and as usual, with no
jingles, no karma. This from Surah anon sir autonomous of
Dogpatch and Laurel Slavia there are listeners and producers just
to remind her that in this record setting economy and stock
market give thanks to this month with donations to the show.
Thank you to and all the people behind the scenes that support
your infrastructure and remarkable data resource offered
and shownotes. You are my Oasis of the IRS in mind. No agenda is
value for value model never asks nor cares who you are. The
message is simple. Don't send blankets or water just send your
cash if you receive value. And so I subscribe for my monthly
value. So thus, I subscribe to listeners that believe this is a
Trump apologist show or right wing whatever. Let me be clear
that this presidency has a very negative indirect impact on my
personal life and my family safety. And yes, like a broken
clock. The man is right twice a day and that annoys me. I
support this show because it deconstructs propaganda from
media outlets. The current media overstates his BS, which doesn't
need exaggeration, just as they overstated Obama's brilliance,
which needed their help. Yeah, excellent. Adams work helps me
identify how the media is trying to manipulate listeners for
their own benefit. Listening well it can help anticipate
first future trends and policies. No agenda is an
extremely valuable source of media agenda. Information Trump
apologist not a chance truth advocates. Definitely. Happy
Thanksgiving to all and subscribe to the show.
Oster animus of Dogpatch thank you so much and lower Slovenia
Of course there was their reason for the $2
You think he would have said something and
this got that he always has little secret messages. Yeah,
maybe it's code for something that we don't know.
What's once again some sir autonomous of Dogpatch code we
can't decode it never fails.
Maybe somebody tells me that is in binary Kevin Brockman 333 33
And he says drunk donation bottoms filling here making a
donation they give value for value. I recently deleted
Facebook and this donation is to reflect the amount of time and
pain I have suffered from being off Facebook. I believe this
donation brings me to Baronet. But who cares? Yours truly is
possible. Baron net of bottom filling. So he's the Baronet of
Bob Yeah,
I think we have him here. Let me just double check. I'm pretty
sure we
are in Indianapolis. I'm sorry, that was kin Brian. Kevin. Oh,
no, that was dumpster
now You went too far. You went way too far. You went way too
far.
I know. I read his I read Carol's that was your Warren
Carol. I see what you did. And I read his pleat donation. And
that's what it was. I said it was from Kevin Brockman who
actually wrote this thank you for your Santa and he also
donated 333 33 Thank you for the Senate as you guys are my only
source of news now.
I lost that I love it. I love
Adams OTG segment and even tried going ot and G but realized I
had no way to listen to the show while driving.
You can burn see well, by the way, you know the old teacher
the OTG phones that I've recommended you can absolutely
listen you know you don't have a nifty little podcast app but you
can certainly download an mp3 and play it yeah in fact the
essentially one download
Yeah, you can just go put it I hooked it up does it hooked to
the computer and you can just get a see a file.
You can just download it has Wi Fi download on Wi Fi It has
bluetooth and you can stream it to your car on Bluetooth. I mean
is it slick? No. But that's kind of the point
he makes is that no way Listen to show while driving. Can I get
a D douching
If you've been deed deuced
and he would like a goat karma and a respect ESP if you've got
karma we're sure Warren Carroll who is going to be upgraded to
Baronet. Yes Sir Chris Barron to the Carson Valley comes in next
is Associate Executive Producer tuna $33.33. Forgive me pot
father and buzzkill has been many months as my last donation.
The story of the inception of podcasting reminded me of the
secret Miami meeting between Adam Ron Weiner and yours truly.
Yes, of course, I remember secret. I forgot to put that in
the history of podcasting. That's why he wrote in The
Secret Meeting in Miami.
You he was left out of your story.
This was after podcasting had already launched and it was in
iTunes and it wasn't until then I thought,
Well, it seems like a million years ago he continues Yeah, it
was keep up the great work on this show. And if I may humbly
ask for some job and health karma I'd be much appreciated be
much appreciated. Yes, sir. Chris Barron of Carson Valley.
Yeah.
KJ and since I screwed up the goat karma for Sir One, Carol, I
will turn that into jobs, health and good karma
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
To go coverage for Kevin Brockman. Michael Hager in St.
Louis, Missouri is our last Associate Executive Producer.
And he came in front with $200 St. Louis. Love the show. That's
all he said. Short and sweet. Yes,
thank you very much. And thank you to Michael Hagar and Kevin
Brockman as non royalty and peerage in the top today. And of
course, we have synonymous of Dogpatch and Sir Warren Carroll,
and Sir Chris Barron of Carson Valley, always good to see those
names there. And thank you for supporting the work that we do.
And here we are, once again different different corners of
the globe and still bringing you the show. And that support is
appreciated. And this is why you get a real credit for an
executive producer or Associate Executive Producer you can use
this wherever credits are accepted. It seems to get jobs
as well. And we'll be thinking more people $50 and above in the
second part of the show and remember to support this for our
Sunday broadcast
that to vorak.org/and A you have
certainly learned a little bit about some words like
nationalism come out propagate formula formula is this. We go
out for hit people in the mouth yo, wow. Okay,
we took we've talked about the Lear foundation a few times. Oh,
I would say we have. And you have that old clip, but I was
watching somebody do too.
Well, hold on a second came to my attention. Can I just say
something? Why don't we if I can find it here? Why don't we just
play the numbers clip from Hollywood Lear? That's actually
the Hollywood Health and Society leader, Mike, I forget what the
exact name was.
Yeah, it'll be in this next sketch, which is whatever, I
just want to put this in here, right. Now shoot,
actually, it'd be better you keep looking for it'd be better
played after my clip. Okay, we'll do that. And the intro, we
go straight to a this was an introduction there. We're
playing a preview of a Mattis Secretary show to a group of
writers. And this was done as part of an anti nuke Nuke, you
know, unilateral disarmament operation. Promotion. And they
had the producer and they had the
commander. This is the madam secretary episode that we that
we played the other day. This is
one that was the last at the end of season four, where they were
there. They were going to have a nuke exchange between Russia or
China or something, and it was going to blow up the world. And
they actually have a second clip from that. But but in this clip,
she's introducing the introductions of everything. And
she goes on on an exposition about the housing society in
Hollywood Health and Society operation out of USC, which is
run by the Lear Foundation, and it had all these extra details
and some of these other things have made you think what a great
operation and I just thought it was just it was because it
represents one specific point on the political spectrum. I think
it's onerous, but they
all love it was to forge a partnership with Hollywood
Health and Society, which I think many of you know, is a
program of the USC Annenberg, Norman Lear Center. And we did
that because we knew. That's good applauses fine. We knew
that the Hollywood Health and Society Program sharing our
belief in the ability for popular media, television and
film in particular, to shape culture and to change minds
about important social issues. Hollywood Health and Society
serves as a free resource for writers, producers and others in
search of accurate information on health, safety and security
topics. In addition to consulting on the threat of
nuclear weapons, Hollywood Health and Society also deals
with a vast array of topics, such as cybersecurity, clinical
trials, maternal health, reproductive health, HIV, aging,
chronic illness, disability, and more. Hollywood Health and
Society recognizes the profound impact that entertainment media
has on individual knowledge and behavior, and offers several
resources like consultations in person expert interviews, tip
sheets, panel events, and screenings like this one tonight
to reach the entertainment industry and the broader public
with timely and important information.
Yes, got it together.
You know, I wonder, recently, and maybe the past month, maybe
six weeks I've been receiving emails from it seems like it's
not really from one organization. But it's clearly
someone trying to put somebody on our show. Of course, they've
never listened to the no agenda show. So they have a list of pod
Carolee never listened. Now they have a list of podcasters and
they'll email like, hey, you know, this is going on with this
is what's happening in the gay community. And if you'd like to
talk to this expert about it, we can get him on your show today.
Contact me and I wonder if there's somehow may be connected
to the Lear foundation this evening a lot. I'm going to I'm
going to start forwarding you some of these very aggressive
with that. Yeah. So I couldn't find the original numbers
clipped at least not on the mobile rig for some reason but
the Lear Foundation, the Norman Lear, who famously created all
in the family, which was very important for the narrative in
the United States as Archie Bunker although acted at the
time as a typical blue collar Democrat was created as a
Republican and for the most nine years that show was on pretty
much longer longer than that pretty much cemented in the
American psyche what the typical white straight old racist que
que que Nazi Quadroon male look like then it's Archie Bunker.
And so they continue to put stuff into TV shows and movies
and it's
propaganda
it is what it is propaganda. Exactly.
Propaganda design and they put in a lot of movies designed to
get you to think the way they want you to think yes yes don't
even then I don't even it's very effective. Yeah, it's very
effective. They're very good at it. Yeah. That's why they're
everyone's loves them loves loves them. Everyone in
Hollywood loves them.
But of course they do. They also hand out free consultancies if
you'd like all of the all of the medical that's what they've done
that's I think that's really what they started doing a lot of
all of the medical shows like now it's everywhere from General
Hospital to st elsewhere. And whatever else we have I don't
watch that much television. They always have their experts in
there to make sure that you're you know, technically talking
correctly and and then they might as well just put a couple
of things in there to make sure you all understand that we're
diverse here on the show.
That's how it works.
So they are so so just as an aside, this guy Avenatti was
arrested I don't know if you've Yeah, I got that.
I got his statement.
Well, I have his backup story. We've got a store statement.
Okay,
let me see. What is it have a naughty arrested? This sounds to
me like a fantastic hit job play today.
Police in Los Angeles announced that they had arrested the crash
Attorney was taken on President Trump. In a tweet police said we
can confirm that today LAPD detectives arrested Michael
Avenatti on suspicion of domestic violence. It is an
ongoing investigation. The arrest stemmed from an incident
involving a woman but investigators did not offer any
more information about Avenatti who took on Mr. Trump and his
former personal attorney Michael Cohen in court On behalf of porn
star stormy Daniels,
it has always been our intention to make sure that this case
proceeded expeditiously. And that as much information as
possible, would be known.
In her lawsuit against President Trump. Daniel's alleged that she
had an affair with Mr. Trump before he became president, and
that she was paid to keep quiet about it shortly before the 2016
election. And it also represented Julie sweat Nick,
who made sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme
Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing,
the president fired back at Avenatti we
had another woman just reported by his sleazebag lawyer
but sweat Nick and Avanade. His claims were never corroborated
and have now been referred to the Justice Department for an
investigation Avenatti has sought out media attention and
earlier this year, he traveled to Iowa to test the waters for a
potential democratic run for president in 2020. Now,
which this was CBS, shame on them, shame on them. It is so
obvious to see that, you know, he was very detrimental to the
Cavanaugh process, that he probably ruined any chances of a
blue wave two for the Democrats to take over the Senate in
addition to the house if it was possible at all. But you know,
he clearly this is a hit from the left to get this guy away
from us. No and why don't have to spin it towards Trump. He's
the best thing that ever happened for the Republicans.
Democrats know he's the best thing ever happened to the
Republicans? Because he spirits to know he was screwing the
Democrats. You screwed it up.
No, I'm talking about Trump. You talk about Avenatti.
I'm talking about Abinadi. Yes. I said Why does the CBS state
the obvious that this was
clearly no the obvious and you're talking about Jeff per
gaze as the only straight shooter on CBS and he will not
veer from that he will not veer out of the lane.
He didn't really even know he won't be out of line. But I have
this other statement from Alvin audience worth hearing.
Actually, that
that I would, I would say, unless that statement was not
available at the time of this airing, that that would be
remiss because pigs would usually hit a hit a piece of a
clip like that
he he had a little piece of it. Just a very short piece. Here's
the full statement. Very brief. And very succinct.
First of all, I want to thank the hard working men and women
of the LAPD for their professionalism and their work
today. They had no option in light of the allegations.
Secondly, I have never struck a woman. I never will strike a
woman. I have been an advocate for women's rights, my entire
career and I'm going to continue to be an advocate I am not going
to be intimidated from stopping what I am doing. I am a father
to two beautiful, smart daughters. I would never
disrespect them by touching a woman inappropriately or
striking a woman I am looking forward to a full investigation
at which point I am confident that I will be fully exonerated.
I also want to thank everyone for their support that is
reached out you know my character you know me as a man
and I appreciate it.
You know me as a man, and I appreciate it. Thank you I got
daughters.
That's about it. That's his excuse.
But you know the accusation is serious the accusation is that
he has fairly
pictures supposedly. What's what's in the in the mill that's
been floating around right wing talk shows. Yeah, supposedly
There's pictures of her where there's just bashed the shit
because apparently she took a took a shot at him or took a
punch at him. And so she's beaten up and he is there is
also supposedly him claiming that she hit me first she hit me
first.
I hadn't heard that
find out eventually Yeah, but I liked the way thanks to caught
thank the capture not beating the crap out of him
right yes I think you're doing a good Good job guys. Exactly. See
a couple other things that will actually give me a little update
on the on the cuz I've completely lost track of the
elections. Or the vote count I should say. What did we still
have an issue in Florida there's an
Florida still problem every doing a lot of votes in
California and I don't really have an app They clip okay but
because they're all pretty boring the machines in Florida
stop working and Florida is just a nightmare. I do have something
that's kind of an update to us need to catch up on which is
what's going on with Amazon.
Ah okay that you mean Amazon HQ to
HQ two and a half or whatever it is it goes to two of them. You
know one in Virginia one in New York to New York one is
backfiring as I was suspecting it would. And I want the tax
breaks. Well, because of New York. I have said yeah. Yeah, I
have a clip an intro and then I have this guy Kim, who is a
state senator or State Assemblyman who's going on and
on about this. And then I have a third clip, which is is the US
Congress Progressive Caucus and it which is kind of a contrast
it with these other clips we're doing but try Amazon intro D and
I think I would do both that.
We begin today's show looking at Amazon and corporate welfare,
protesters are heading to the side of Amazon's future office
complex in Long Island City, New York today to condemn the city
and state governments for showering Amazon with massive
tax breaks and other giveaways in order to entice the company
to expand into the city. On Tuesday, Amazon officially
announced it would split its so called Second headquarters
between New York and Arlington, Virginia just across the river
from Washington DC after being offered more than 3 billion in
tax breaks and other incentives. As part of the deal. New York
taxpayers will even build a hella pad for Amazon CEO Jeff
Bezos, who is the richest man in the world. Amazon recently
became the world's second US company to be valued at over $1
trillion thanks in part to the fact that the company paid no
federal taxes in 2017. Amazon also built its company in part
by not collecting local sales taxes on goods sold online.
I gotta say two things about that one. helipad is no big
deal. Shut up. It's not it's not a big deal. Getting it
certified. Only helipad then just enhances it's not like a
big whoo boy. Thanks, man. That's really cool. You built
that to saying it's disingenuous for any report to focus on the
fact that it's just across the river from Washington DC. We're
what's really going on it is it is next door to spook Central.
And now they emphasize the Pentagon rather this book
Central,
yeah, but it's spook central Arlington, Virginia, and
this is a very poor report. Play Amazon.
I just want to explain why that's a problem. Because let's
just presume that they're all in bed with the spooks, they
probably are anyway, the amount of data, corporate data
applications, online web stuff. I mean, the entire commercial
Internet is even we, to some degree, use Amazon's
infrastructure, and how fantastic it is to just you
know, people just walk across the street and walk right in and
we can go look at it. We could technically look at anything we
want to. That's that's a huge problem. I mean, everything is
on has an Amazon AWS back end somewhere.
Hey, man, don't you trust the government all the way bro.
Let's play this Amazon intro that just says intro is the same
time I thought it's the same clip but this may be something
else.
We begin today's show looking at Amazon and stop it
Kill it. Kill it kill it. The problem is I obviously screwed
up. That's okay. No, no, I didn't I didn't screwed up. Move
down to Cuomo and Amazon because they have Cuomo going on and on
about this kind of important
largest economic development initiative that has ever been
done by the city or the state or the city and the state together
for every dollar we invest. We're going to get back about $9
Give or take just like the Olympics, so
to find the money that we need to invest in the subways invest
in schools. This is a big money maker for us.
It doesn't make money for the shareholders rather than make
money for you
costs us nothing. Nada Yente
goose egg egg he speaks multiple languages.
We make money doing this.
That was Governor Andrew Cuomo who joked he even would offer to
change his name if Amazon selected New York.
Anything else I can think of that'll get us over the top.
Anything they want named Amazon I'll change my name to Amazon
form. Oh, wow,
what a douchebag. Oh my goodness. He said that anything
they want I'll change my name
really I changed my name to Amazon Cuomo Very good. Well
from now on that's what he he's known as Amazon Amazon Cuomo.
So this guy comes on to rant about this, and I thought was
kind of funny, because progressive he makes a comment
that that progressive site wing of the Democratic Party took
over this state Assembly in New York State and they're not going
to put up with this. The problem that I have with it is there is
a there's a discrepancy with the what the progressives want on
one hand and what they want on the other but let's play. This
is Kim, the guy's name is Kim, and he is the senator are they
brought on?
Yeah, first of all, I am asking outrage that New York under
Governor Cuomo is willing to give away up to $3 billion of
taxpayers money without any consultation. This isn't my
money. This is the you know, this is the people's money.
There's no one to just give it away to the richest man on the
planet. When we are literally sleepwalking into a supernova
catastrophic financial meltdown. How
could you see supernova instead of supernova? Man, people are
not good with their language. No more
hesitation. This isn't my money. This isn't you know, this is the
people's money. There's no need to just give it away to the
richest man on the planet. When we are literally sleepwalking
into a supernova. catastrophic financial meltdown happened 10
years from the last financial meltdown, more people living in
debt than ever in the history of humankind as we speak right now.
In New York alone New Yorkers, we have over 1 million New
Yorkers living in student debt building with student debt on
able to pay the minimum amount barely getting by
this is by the way is AOC. Ocasio Cortez is argument as
well that we could have paid off every one student loan for this
one instead of where did the student loan thing blossom was
Obama, I think
this way mean when the actual debt blossomed? Yeah. Yeah, I
would say that's within the past 10 years for sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, definitely. What didn't you Yeah, no, yeah. No. I
believe that Elizabeth Warren, as part of her grand scheme, I
think she did something. Where Yes, I remember what it is. Even
if you go bankrupt, you can't get rid of that debt. That's
what it was good work. Obama. Is
that her contribution? Yes, it is. New York
along New Yorkers, we have over 1 million Yorkers living in
student debt, living with student debt on able to pay the
minimum amount, barely getting by. But instead of bailing out
the people here in New York, our own democratic governor who's
willing to give transfer wealth out of New York, and give it
directly to the pockets of the richest man on the planet, that
is ridiculous. And it's about time we step up as Democrats as
progressives, and really put an end to corporate welfare.
Well, Assemblyman and
by the way, that's total horseshit. I mean, it is not he
they, I'm sorry, he is not. No one is Cuomo is not literally
giving the money to the richest guy in the world. That is just
not true, but
directly to the pockets of the richest man on the planet. That
is ridiculous. And it's about time we step up as Democrats as
progressives, and really put an end to corporate welfare.
Well, Assemblyman, this whole issue of how the the Mayor de
Blasio and the governor have negotiated this deal, as you
say, and secret. And then apparently, the mayor agreed to
allow this to bypass the City Council by allowing the state to
be the prime mover and assembling the land. And the
project. Could you talk about that and what can be done at the
assembly level to challenge that?
I'm introducing legislation to clawback this deal. Under the
New York State Constitution actually clearly states that
we're not allowed to give any corporate subsidies or money to
the private sector or business or corporation. They're getting
around it by working with quasi government agencies that was
designed for the last 60 years to execute this type of transfer
of wealth. And we can redesign it because we designed it we can
redesign it to work for the people of New York. What's the
point of having a majority progressive Democrats they
Senate that we work so hard for you said in New York if we can't
stop one man from transferring $3 billion of taxpayers money to
the richest man on this planet?
There you go. That's New York thinking
yeah, just do your thinking. And I'm reminded and I not taking
you decide on this as I buy just touch my hat the first play this
Progressive Caucus priorities. That is I think I got this from
PBS or it may have been Democracy Now also, but play
that so Just a little background or sorry, what was the title
again? Progressive Caucus priorities.
members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus held their
first news conference since the midterm elections Tuesday, with
the caucus expected to grow to nearly 100 members. When the new
Congress is seated in January, Democrats took a cooler tone
when asked about plans to abolish ice, an idea many
progressive Congress members pushed earlier in the year at
the height of the public outcry over President Trump's family
separation policy. caucus co chair Mark Pocan, who introduced
a bill over the summer to do away with ice said abolishing
ice is still on the agenda. But that higher priorities for the
caucus are health care, jobs and dealing with a culture of
corruption.
Right to play this culture of corruption, but jobs is on the
big three lists there. And they don't know how to do jobs. This
guy is going on about you know the $3 billion giveaway and it's
actually tax breaks
if I may. I know I'm small, insignificant player in the
universe, certainly when it comes to New York politics, but
I accurately predicted there will be a fantastic employment
opportunity no matter where Amazon goes. And once again, I
am from the future.
What lies ahead for Arlington, Virginia and New York City now
that they will be home to new headquarters for Amazon. One way
to find out is to study the city that has been headquarters for
Amazon up to now. Carolyn Adolph reports from member station K
UOW. In Seattle.
Seattle city planners thought they get 18,000 workers when
they signed up to put Amazon in a neighborhood north of
downtown. They got 45,000 people and 6000 dogs 6000 Dogs. And
that's just the headquarters. People here cross the street in
packs. And the people are dogs to the whole foods at noon
rivals Grand Central Station. And lunch is a huge affair.
Man who would want to live there. 6000 dogs go to Amazon's
work to work how
you could twist into an anti dog story. But you did it. I salute
you. Thank you.
I was just waiting for my opportunity, sir. I love dogs,
it's dog owners I have a problem with
I will say that this part is sciatica to talking about is is
really been transformed to such an extreme. It's very weird very
early in the morning on a weekend or some because it's
like, it's very strange. I'd be in a financial district on a
weekend if you know what that's like. Yeah, like Wall Street, of
course. Do you know what it was like? It's spooky
or like the city and want you to movie. But this,
I have mixed feelings about this. And I should mention what
I think is that Queens is really pretty much like Oakland, or a
Hayward is a very, it's like a It's not suburban technically,
but in some ways it is. And it's pretty shot. It's nothing like
they've revitalized Brooklyn, and now everything's very
expensive there and queens properties are all going to be
going skyrocketing. And people always get a kick out of people
who say, Oh, geez, I got this house. But now you know, it's I
bought it for 20,000 and now it's worth $5 million. I hate
these people for moving into here which is a very, you know,
kind of a complaint you get up in Seattle and just going to
improve overall it's going to modernize. It will modernize and
probably to the benefit of Queens. It will move a lot of
old ladies out and it's going to be a problem but they'll be
getting some compensation I'd hope it's going to help but it's
going to be ruined a it's going to be ruined and improved. You
don't know what to say but it can't keep going can't just keep
being Queens forever. It's really Queen's isn't that I've
no offense to the Queen's listeners. I'm sure there's a
couple but it's just not what it is not a vibrant place. You know
townfield commuters and old old timers
I haven't been there in a long long time so I wouldn't know
there's no reason to go there's no reason to go.
I do have a related Amazon story. Which we're kind of
waiting for the for the follow up to this to get some important
information. Yes.
You're gonna say some No. Oh, I'm sorry. I
thought this crow is flying around the house.
Oh, he's coming for you. Millions of American power
metros
flying over the house as we speak.
State prosecutors hope one of them contains crucial evidence
in a double murder case. Alexa comes with a price. Timothy
barrel is accused of murdering 48 year old Christine Sullivan
and 32 year old Jenna Pellegrini. Authorities say they
were stabbed to death that this Farmington home into January of
2017. As Ferrell awaits trial, a judge has granted the state's
request to access recordings of an Amazon Echo smart speaker,
which was in the kitchen at the time Christine Sullivan was
killed. I think
most people probably don't even realize that Alexa is taking
account of what's going on in your house. In addition to
responding to your demands and commands. UNH Law
Professor Albert sure says this is becoming more common.
Prosecutors believe the echo which uses Alexa Voice Commands
might have recorded audio of the moment so them was attacked, as
well as the removal of her body. State police have the speaker
and now the judge is telling Amazon to turn over the
recordings from its server,
the Attorney General's office, it was smart not to just say,
Hey, we got possession of Alexa the.so to speak, we can get do
whatever we want with it, they were smart to get an order from
the court.
Amazon says it won't release any customer information until a
valid legal demand has been properly served.
So of course, the reason why we're watching this case, is to
see if there is indeed some recording that would not have
been triggered necessarily by a wake word and was just there. Or
how did it did it know to start recording based upon some
screams? Or we don't really know. But I'm very interested in
this of course. Yeah. Is
you played a similar clip last show. Oh, I did. But we're still
we haven't gotten any.
We haven't gotten anything. I do have. And this is the yin to the
Yang for Amazon. If we're talking about retail, there's a
new network being set up the network of retailers just get
the name of this company what are they called again? They're
called the face first. Which I don't think is the best brand in
the world. But it's because you know, you could interpret in
many ways to face yeah, salud. Yes, a facial recognition retail
company. And they intend to use loyalty rewards to get you to
use your facial you know, your biometric data your your face,
so they can scan your face for the loyalty rewards program,
which I'm sure was gonna
go for this
everybody. You kidding me? Now, please, of course, of course,
people will do that. For free stuff. Yeah, of course they
will. But the yet well actually let me play with their little
promo reel here. I'm heavily edited by me to remove stupid
pauses and dumb pieces of music.
What if you could stop retail crime before it happens by
knowing the moment the shoplifter enters your store?
Could you avoid a potentially dangerous situation? And what if
you could know about the presence of violent criminals
before they act? And what if you could easily identify missing
children and victims of human trafficking with face first, you
can stop crime before it starts. The world's only patented
enterprise retail face recognition platform proven to
radically reduce crime and perform flawlessly across 1000s
of locations. Making it the top choice for big box stores,
department stores, grocery stores, pharmacies and other
retail operations. Reduce shrink, save your stores in an
fast ROI only in one turnkey solution. Learn

the video of course is shoplifters, Minority Report
zooming rotate enhanced match. rapists, shoplifter thief,
gangster lost child all this stuff
timecode down please. Okay,
but they are you know, they're using all of the retailers.
They're, you know, they're collecting all of their data
from all of their customers. I'm sure they're matching it with
you know, purchase data, credit card doors, it's
all done for that. But then, you know, law enforcement can also
find use for this stuff. Yes.
So looking forward to that it's probably void in many places. We
just don't know about it. I have not received the loyalty program
requests for facial recognition though. Yet. Wow. Let's share
your chair your chair really need some oil.
If you're hearing anything, so it's crows. Okay. I mean,
there's just not as bad as it was a minute ago. But these
crows there's a I saw this murder was group of crows is
called yesterday Overbite by Whole Foods. It's about 1000 of
them. And I don't know what they're talking about. But they
they're
talking they're talking amongst themselves. Yes,
they are. And they get there's a barrier around here where they
decided to meet up once in a while and they fly over the
house and they just make this horrible racket. But the problem
is with crows are very smart bird. He can't throw anything at
him or any because then they pet you then you're screwed. They'll
just crap all over your car. And yeah, they
Oh, they they're terrible. They're vindictive. Yeah. You
have to
be very friendly to crows. Just a tip for people who don't
aren't familiar with these birds. Okay, we go on I'm sorry.
There was a New York Times article and expo ze about the
face bag. And did you read him? Hopefully you read this, about
how the head of it went to the board and said, Hey, holy crap,
I haven't been able, we still got these Russians in here. You
know, this is a big problem, right? And she was yelling like,
you threw me under the bus and and they used all kinds of
horrible. In fact, the claim that the New York Times printed
is that Facebook itself, worked with a Republican, I guess,
marketing firm, and they actually steered people towards
a fake news article, Facebook did steered people towards a
fake news article about Soros funding something. And they did
that to isolate, you know, different groups of people, but
they were using these actual tactics. And it's the whole
article is is well worth a read. And I was looking today and the
stock is, you know, this stock was $218, just a month ago, or
maybe five weeks ago. And now it's at 143. At least last time
I looked and they're in big trouble down. They're in big
trouble. At least at least on the stock. You don't think so?
Yeah. Oh, come on, beat the kids are all off face bag.
I mean, they haven't been on face bag for years. This has
nothing to do with this.
Well, I think it does have a lot to do with it. When you have a
Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce saying Facebook is the new
cigarettes. Yeah, no, I think I think that does hurt.
San Jose, it would be more attractive to kids, if you say
something like that. It's your theory.
Well, the numbers itself, and there's a lot of studies have
been done show that, you know, at least 45% of heavy face bag
users have stopped using it or deleted the app. And that is,
from what I understand pretty much across the board that kids
were already on Instagram that they're already not interested
in Facebook doesn't matter. Because Instagram I think is
very successful, it's probably keeping the company afloat. But
when you have having run a public company, when you have a
stock price in decline and bad news, you get new employees who
came on their stock is way underwater, you know, they have
invested and they just see that's all negative, the money's
negative, you get a negative vibe, you get people protesting
inside outside the company. It's not good. It's really it's
really damaging. And particularly for people who are
thought to be such high fliers, and you know, there's, I'm sure
there's a brain drain, there's all kinds of things going on.
And then you get Wozniak. Not quite sure why he weighed in on
it. But he was asked about social media in general. And he
came up with something about Facebook in particular.
Oh, I think social media is a good thing that serves a good
purpose. Even Facebook, great idea when Zuckerberg was in the
dorm, this is gonna get people together and they'll be able to
communicate ideas that are important to them. It wasn't you
didn't sit down and say how can we come up with something that
later on we'll be able to trick everybody and and make a ton of
money advertising what their? What their desires and wants
are? Oh, no, no, I think social media has good part. It's not
right for me. In other words, it's good for it's good for some
people, most people, but for me, it's not because it doesn't
work. Well, for me. I'm a little bit of a quiet, shy guy. Twitter
handle, I noticed I have a Twitter handle, but I never read
Twitter. I never go in and actually participate on it,
except to share my location, something I started a long time
ago with an app that was called Foursquare them so my wife would
be able to see where I am. And somehow I just kept doing it out
of habit. We stick to our habits better.
You know if anyone wants to kidnap a wealthy guy. I mean,
why would he say this? This is this is pretty crazy. He is
worth some bucks
today. One thing is social networks become so habit
forming. I used about last year about a year ago, I used
Facebook for the first time even though I had a Facebook handle
and sometimes answered people's inquiries where they saw me post
where I was. I only used it for three, three months, I would be
standing in a line of an airport and I'd start scrolling through
look at all these posts all these funny dog ones, I'll send
them and I had I saw some of my good friends were in there. And
you know, and then I thought it's habit forming and I don't
like addictions, and I don't like things that are habit
forming. And I said wait a minute. If I've got Solitaire, I
don't need Facebook. So I I gave up my account, but I didn't say
it's bad for other people. It's just it's just it's not good for
me it's not the right thing for me and gave it up haven't missed
it have felt only good since and yeah, I've missed some nice, you
know, good fun animal and people and animal helping animal type
videos. I missed that I could go find it somewhere.
He's in the animal videos. I don't know why that was, it'd be
let me just like this directly from the New York Times. While
Mr. Zuckerberg has conducted a public apology tour in the last
year, Miss Sandberg has overseen an aggressive lobbying campaign
to combat Facebook's critics shift public anger towards rival
companies and ward off damaging regulation. Facebook employed a
Republican opposition research forum to discredit activist
protesters in part by linking them to the liberal financier
George Soros. It also tapped its business relationships, lobbying
a Jewish civil rights group to cast criticism of the company as
anti semitic means these guys were doing some nasty stuff.
You think any corporate is not doing that kind of thing
constantly? Well, yes,
but they're so holier than thou.
Well, the if you bite into it. I just think Facebook is facebook
in his eyes, unless something comes along the way Facebook
came along too early. I mean, he was first it was Live Journal
and then MySpace came along and knocked him out of the box. And
then Facebook came along and knock them out of the box. And I
see nothing. That's that's come along that is that will take
Facebook's place. And until that happens, what are you going to
do?
I think Instagram has already done it. I think Instagram
Instagrams
a different models could work slightly. It works completely
differently. Yes. And Instagram is owned by Facebook
immediately. No, that's,
that's okay. That's That's my point. I'm talking about
Facebook. The product is definitely in decline in usage.
Yeah, no, I'm not. I still think it's a
hey, you know what, you know what, John? Publishing Viano for
targeting advertising. I don't see anything can beat it.
Okay, Instagram beats it. And I would advise you buy the dip.
How?
Well, still, I think it's overpriced at this price. No
kidding. It should be $15. Instagram. How does Instagram
How's Instagram more targeted,
though Instagram is incredible. The the ads, first of all,
Instagrams algorithm is really, really for shopping for items
you want to buy. There's a swipe up, and it works very well. And
people if you say Have you ever clicked on an ad on the
internet? No. Have you ever swiped up and clicked on
something on Instagram? Yes. It's very successful in selling
products extremely successful. The algorithm the whole
kit is sell no agenda? No. No, why? No,
this is for clothing. It's for food for you know, the
like food for the mind. Good.
Go ahead. Go try that. No, this is all about the influencers.
And what their where it's based for. It's for junk. It's for
trinkets and shiny objects and sneakers and
that kind of stuff. The Home Shopping Network.
Yes. Yeah. Thank you this it is the home shopping network with
with hosts who are not paid by the home shopping network.
They're either unpaid, or they have you know, some small deal
as an influencer. Yeah, it's I believe that to be very, very,
very successful. And I think that yes, we had communities go
away we saw with AOL and geo cities. I totally agree. But we
didn't have algorithms running at the time. And this is this
has changed. This has turned people off, killed people made
them sick. But add to that a healthy dose of just bullcrap.
People are looking for happier times and Instagram I believe
delivers that and Twitter is still the cesspool. I think a
lot of the arguments just go on over there. You don't hear
people you don't hear the M five M referencing Facebook that much
just like it's all tweets, everything you see every quote
is a tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, not face back, a face bag
is where you go and look at someone's profile after they've
killed people.
Well, right. All right. Well, that's our analysis of social
media to John and Adam analysis. Adams, a huge fan of Instagram.
Apparently, that's replaced his huge fandom for Facebook, which
he's written which he's rejected out of hand,
you should just stop all your head because you're sad. We're
sounding really stupid when you do this too. And we you both use
Twitter. It's totally stupid. What you're doing. Don't do
this. Don't do this. People are interested in these things. They
they they have an opinion about it. Well, I'm
interested in Facebook too, for advertising. Well, you know,
I've heard you
say this for five years, you've never bought a single pad
to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh
yeah, that'd be fun it's in the works. And the word see
who controls the board controls the flow.
Plan. I'm a planner. So five years is not long, long time.
All right. Someday there'll be an ad on Facebook for the no
agenda show. Meanwhile, we have a few people to thank and they
don't need ads for them. They voluntarily help through word of
mouth Laura Wilson at the top of the list. $133.33 and I have to
read her no, because she says the sad puppy gets me every
time.
And the sad puppies hanging around. Apparently.
She needs some good karma at the end. A sad puppy is still there.
Sir Kaz in Richmond, Surrey. Great Britain. 1333 is two of
them. He does have a title change. I don't know if you've
had this on the list. I don't think so. Because not marked.
No, he's not so cast
out. Prior to his sarcasm. The 30 trees.
Got it. I'll put them in June.
A lot of people were pulling back from there more elaborate.
Yeah, what is what's up with that
name to something simple.
I don't know. What do you think's going on with that?
I don't know. I think
I'll tell you why people are probably using these credits and
taking it seriously and like nicely that's you know, hey, I
want to get a job.
It's a crazy name. Yeah. Yeah, sir wash bottom of the dirty
toilet. You know, it's just not gonna get a job.

Jeff Kelly in Arnold, Ms. Maryland and he did send a
handwritten note in which I feel obliged to read. Alright. He's
got a lot of I think there's something changed changing here
too, because he's got a bunch of accounting at the bottom.
Oh, yes. See, he do see something changing. Read the
note. I'll take a look.
I didn't send it forward. 6008 He says I'm glad to hear my
lopsided boob donation has caught on with some others. Very
good where you should be very step this donation is my final
installment for knighthood. Ah, okay. So Jacqueline's fourth
like to be known as sir. O. S and tin is pronounced ser 10. So
it's ser s and chemical. 10 means 10. On that on the
Periodic Chart,
we ser SM but we say certain. Yeah.
Okay. Thanks for complicating our lives. This was the time to
donate. I'm near the end of the age 33. My newest human resource
spent his first few days in an ICU, the ICU room 33 Here. And
since you never cashed my Asian boob donation of 808 Vietnamese
Dong.
I wonder why did you just wasn't a bill that he sent just a paper
note. I
think it was just a Dong note maybe. Which is what the
Vietnamese notes are dongs. I figured that it necessary to
check I don't remember that. I because I usually send them to
collections. We usually get something out of them. I figured
that I should have I moved toward a legit URL dump of Indo
China. I guess cashing a check for 35 cents 808 Dawn is more
hassle than his worth off. That was what it was. It was more
hassle than it was worth but 35 cents, which I put aside. Keep
up the great work on the best podcasts in universe. Jeff Kelly
Arnold, Missouri. Marilyn soon to be served 10 Yes. And he's
got his accounting here. Didn't put 35 cents in could have but
he didn't. So we'll he's on the list.
But he's also he is He is the creator of the lops didn't
move donation? Yes, he is. He's the originator Jim Buell 5833.
In Spring Hill, Tennessee, he has said he also clicked on the
sad puppy work like 678 in Holland, Ohio. And he's got a
note here that we have to read sir Duma checking in after great
Michigan local number one meetup. First off, I'd like to
call pat of the local one out as a douchebag. Wow. And then he's
got some ideas for us to read, which we will do off off air.
Right. But he suggests something you and I have already talked
about is, you know, still tried to bring in backgrounders, like
I failed to do today with the Hollywood Lear foundation. But
that's the idea to restate it. And that's it. You know, I catch
myself all the time. I'm thinking I we talked about that.
But I realize most people have not never heard half the topics
we've we've, we've discussed on the show. This is true.
But we have what we do. Well, let's stop. And let's analyze
this for one. We don't normally think about that as we're doing
the show. But I think the way it works best is when someone says
I don't mind this, someone sends in a note asking for some
background, saying, you know, I don't know what you guys are
talking about. You've been talking about this for weeks,
and you've been you're referencing something I just
started the show a year ago, and I've never heard this, then we
usually take notice and we set out to do a little we do a
little background to catch people up. And it's better than
being self conscious about it. I think, what do you think?
Yes, that's good. But I prefer to also have some self
consciousness in there will even reference players in the
political field that are just not known to a new, a new, a new
producer or new listener who comes in and just as checking
the Show, or, you know, there's just a lot of different things.
Like if I said to you, Baku, you just start you start laughing
right now. Oh, yeah. But you know, we we've gone to great
depths about buchu, the oil city that it is, and you know how
important it is strategically and oh, by the way, the
unbelievable city scape that they have these things are
important from time to time when it comes up in a new item.
Yeah, well, if it's an old city, we're revisiting. Of course, of
course,
just a call back. But I don't think it's necessary to explain
goat karma. You know, I don't think we have to do that. You
don't you don't you don't have to understand goat karma. You
just have to bathe in it.
cervix, a barren wasteland of the hot southern bush in
Milford, Michigan. 5678. Another five six
these guys had a meet up and they all donated I love it.
Thank you.

5678. The November 10 newsletter was the best ever do more
history deconstruction and analysis of non Trumpian things.
This sir Timothy that no fixed title. Actually, sir Timothy, to
Lucas.
It's kind of hard. I mean, doesn't matter what topic we
have news from. We're not putting the Trump angle on it.
You know, we had several stories today. It's like, why do they
put Trump in the story?
So you were bitching about the Jeff big a story where you
thought he was twisting it to this point to finger a Trump?
Yes. So when it was a neutral story, you
know, what, if you want a two hour show, we'll stop doing
Trump stuff might even be an hour and a half.
The media themselves have talked about this. And they say, you
know, we've tried to take Trump out of our news, and our ratings
go down.
And that's not why we're doing it. It's just that's our source
material.
Yes, that's their, that's the material we're getting from
them. So they have it and they and we get it from them. We have
to say something about Trump because he's in the story, even
though for no good reason a lot of times. But you know, we
minimize it today. We haven't talked a lot about Trump. The
rest of the show be all about Trump. So Lucas of the last bits

about. I will donate twice as much. Well, why
don't you find out what that was?

direct.org/and. We do it twice a week, the next one on Sunday. I
did want to catch up, just briefly, aviation related story,
which I was, I was all prepared to talk about and try and
explain it. And then Stig sent me a clip this morning. I was
very happy. This is regarding the lion air crash that happened
about a week and a half ago, two weeks ago. Right? That's 137
Stretch. Max is called the max the 737 max thing with the
stretches
in old reference. It's funnier.
Well, there. It was. It was it was the DCH. With the DCA
stretch or the 10 stretch, there's a DCA that thing was
grotesque.
It was she was longer than a football field.
It looked weird. But the max, what's different about the max
is they have different engines, and they've moved the engine
little further out on the wing. So they're also a little bit
more forward by I don't know where it is maybe maybe half a
foot, I'm not quite sure. I've seen some overlays. And what
that does is Aiden? Well, they took a plane, the 737 I think
the S N was the most recent one, a very stable plane, which all
modern aircraft of this size have some form of additional
help for controls. But it kind of destabilize the airplane in a
way that gives you a little more different character
characteristics when you're in a certain bank. That's purely
because the engines can start to provide lift when you don't
expect it, which is all okay because they put in some systems
to combat that problem. Now, it's not proven that this is
what happened to that Lion Air aircraft. But here's a story
that kind of explains what went wrong.
Tonight. Top aviation experts say the Lion Air pilots may not
have understood why their new 737 Max was suddenly in a
nosedive or how to get out of it. Let's vestigators believed
the plane sensors or its computers had bad data
suggesting a potential stall. But many veteran pilots didn't
know the 737 max computers can force the nose down to avoid a
stall. Even when pilots are flying manually. Boeing's
operator's manual does not highlight the change, you're
upset because Boeing didn't inform the pilots.
Right? We were that information was not disclosed to our company
or pilots that that system existed.
Now southwest United and American Airlines and their
pilots unions are issuing urgent bulletins to get the word out,
there is a fix. Simply flipping a switch should have turned the
automatic system off. As you can see, it stopped a trend. But not
knowing the problem. The Lion Air pilots appeared to have
continued fighting to pull the nose up, literally in matter of
seconds. I'm in a nosedive. Airplane is basically out of
control. Boeing says it's working to fully understand all
aspects of this incident. And it's confident in the safety of
the 737 max. Meanwhile, pilots are warning each other how to
recover from a potentially hidden danger. So
this is this is very, very bad. This happened and I'm not quite
sure exactly how this could get past any kind of certification.
The FAA is usually pretty good about this. Because if you
change anything in the aircraft, it has to go into very well
documented manuals, this goes into training, there's a whole
process broke down somewhere. And it's possible. And this is
what I find interesting. July last July 2017, Boeing announced
they were creating an in house avionics unit reversing decades
of outsourcing the avionics to India. So this would be either I
don't know if they how far they got without if they completed
it. But there's a changeover something changed in avionics
and I think that may be to blame for the process breaking down
whether that happened because of it was done in India or was done
in Seattle or whatever happened. It It will obviously created a
very bad day for a lot of people.
Well, I've never been a fan of Indian coders. Racist has
nothing to do with race. They're good at designing hardware.
Now I'm just being hitman. I know you're not racist.
I do have a report on that though, from JC working for a
number is working for these companies. And one of the things
he does now is hire as coders. And he has his list of good
coders, the bad coders, ethnic Lee, I'll get this.
Yes. First of all, he has a list. I love that. It's
nice. Yeah, list.
It's JC DS list.
It's like your best code. Apparently, some of the best
coders are Muslims. Why and why is that? Rare? I have theories
on that. But I'll get the whole list and we'll go through it.
And then it's just for people out there. The dudes named Ben,
they might want to know about this. Because they do a lot of
hiring a lot of them a lot of our guys. So has
he categorized it as he categorized by what
he's got a whole theory about it? Yeah. Well,
are you going to? Are you going to present that to us? Or is it
proprietary?
I didn't want to have it. I
mean, not today. I'm asking you, will you? Yes, absolutely.
Don't take benefit of our dudes named Ben, who do a lot of
hiring they put you know, the funny thing is you probably
already know all this, but
I'm extremely interested. So my question was is is buzzkill Jr.
prepared to give up his entire research or on the show or just
a little bit or what can we I'm very interested.
Well, he'll give him what he wants to give up. I don't know
what it is. I'll ask him. I'll
do some producing the whole thing. He
doesn't care.
I'm excited.
I'm excited to hear about it.
Gets you are I have
well, my theory is the best programmers, I don't call them
coders. The best programmers are musicians. In particular bass
players seem to be extremely good at at programming.
And that's good to know.
Say we got a couple of things we wanted to get out of here. I
one. This is a report that was done, passed around it. It
showed up in the news. It was done on CBS with Jeff Glor, and
he brought on our friend, the ex CIA, Morel, Mike Moran morale,
and you have to unfortunately, I can't give you this sucks. I can
only tell you that Glory had the most skeptical look on his face.
I've ever seen him I have as he tried to get through this thing
because they know he asked to just read what it says. But he
was like Dumont wasn't buying any of it. And I'm not sure I'm
buying much of it here. This is the military stark warning and
let listen to the details. Wait, listen to the details of how
it's twisted at the end. It was some phony analogy, or phony
analogies. It's just unbelievable.
We got a stark warning today a report says that the US has lost
its military edge and could lose a war against China or Russia.
That is the conclusion of a bipartisan commission selected
by Congress among
I'm sorry, did he say just China Russia as like one country or
China,
China, now China and or Russia either Well, or Russia Okay,
and could lose a war against China Russia. Right. That is the
conclusion of a bipartisan commission selected by Congress.
among its members is Michael Morel, former deputy director of
the CIA and current CBS News National Security contributor.
Michael joins us from DC tonight. So explained how do we
get to this stage Michael?
really two main developments, one abroad, and then one at
home? One abroad is we
forgot about this guy didn't we? used to? We know he used to say,
right. Right. Right. He
still says prices rising online. Just so many arms and his whole
report, including from Jeff, that is like, Is this even? You
know, or do you want to throw the number 33? In while they're
at it?
How do we get to this stage? Michael?
really two main developments, one abroad, and then one at
home? The one abroad is that our main competitors, and we're
really talking about China and Russia here have for some time
been investing in fighting a conventional war. While we've
been mired in 17 years of counterterrorism. The other is a
development here at home, which is the Budget Control Act of
2011 sequestration, which significantly cut defense
spending, and put those two things together. And they
brought us to this place,
but the US still spend $716 billion a year on military
China's 175 Russia's 60 What are we doing wrong?
So our competitors have a much smaller area of the globe to
worry about. Right, right. Right. They worry about
primarily the regions in which they live and we're talking
about Russia, China. In North Korea, Iran, we have to worry
about the entire globe because our interests are diverse. Are
you optimistic? This all gets fixed? So I'm not I'm not. There
were similar warnings in 2010. Similar warnings in 2014. Jeff
by similar panels, nothing was done. This reminds me a bit,
Jeff, of all of the Strategic Intelligence warnings in the
years before 911. And we all know how that story ended.
All right, Michael, always appreciate your perspective.
Thank you very much.
What happened at the end there? How did we get to 911? All of a
sudden, which we all know how that ended up that what what
what was he trying to say? Another way, I
think what he's trying to say, is that, although he's not is
really lame, and but what he wanted to say what he wanted to
say was, we had all these all these warnings before 911 from
these different agencies, but we couldn't put two and two
together. And thus we have all these warnings, because this
happened again, in 2014. I guess they did a similar report,
saying that we you know, here's the military as a military
report saying, Hey, we right now we're spending more than the
entire world every world's army put together by a lot and we saw
and we need more money,
as it is. Don't send water blankets. Just send your cash.
Ebola back in the news. We love Ebola. We do and the reason why
we love it is because a we've had experimental vaccines which
just disappeared from the radar and there was actually funded by
the government or guarantees were given never heard anything
else about it. We had a lot of military people in West Africa
when and they were there to save the world. And they saved us
from Ebola. When we had like 30,000 people there's some crazy
amount of military and we had no one guy and we were all going to
die and we watched them the plane land and his ambulance
drive to the hospital. Like holy crap, this guy's you know, he's
just everything is kind of coming out of every orifice and
guy just kind of hopped out of the ambulance and walked into
the hospital. That was a little bit of a letdown. But man Ebola
and, and you know, I thought we had swore this evil beast. And
you know, there'll be no other reason to send military in
anywhere for any reason. Except Ebola,
new cell phone, a necklace you just bought. And Ebola, you
might have forgotten the name of that deadly disease, but there
could no connection between the three. This is the Democratic
Republic of Congo in the heart of Africa. Remember, you find a
lot of the
remember we we just learned that Israel received a container ship
full of oil from the DRC which you still haven't figured out
exactly why. But they got that oil from the Congo pricy
resources
that the high tech and jewelry industries are after, but he's
in control of all that
the legal extraction of minerals timber, charcoal and wildlife is
full violence in a number of regions in the Democratic
Republic of Congo is
generated almost stop in at the back that up did he say
charcoal?
I think so. Let's
listen three industries thereafter, but who's in control
of all that?
The legal extraction of minerals, timber, charcoal and
wildlife? I think it's just charcoal.
So there's the illegal extraction of charcoal.
This is a un guy so I'm not going to even think like
charcoal some valuable diamond like commodities, a forest burns
down into the illegally smuggled out the burnt wood. Is that what
he's saying?
I think wow,
sharp coal is gonna be something else not charcoal but sharp coal
is that possible? Is is different, sharp, sharp oil
maybe event that
illegal extraction of land Sharkboy
three industries are after losing control of all that
the legal extraction of minerals, timber circle and
wildlife.
I think he's saying something else. John Cena saying something
that we're that we're hearing and raw. Shark Whole Life
is full of violence in a number of regions in the Democratic
Republic of Congo, it has generated almost a billion
dollars in revenue for rebels and criminal groups.
The country's politics has been a violent mess for over 20
years. Nowadays, a new Ebola outbreak is making things worse
for locals and only a few months it took the lives of almost 200
people, but health ministry says they've never had to deal with
outbreaks of that scale. And with armed thugs running the
show in parts of the Republic, doctors are losing confidence in
their own efforts.
I do think this is one of the challenges, we'll have to see
whether we're able to contain control and end the current
outbreak within the current security situation.
After all, even the bravest doctors don't want to risk their
lives when they're under a constant threat of being taken
out.
And I just got to stop it here. So, again, I don't understand we
had a vaccine, it was effective and was happy. And then of
course, we got distracted for Zika with Zika for a little bit,
you know, small heads that just just kind of went away. I guess
we I guess we won that war as well. The war on Z? No, of
course not. But then we had about a month before. I think in
a month ago, there were, I think was one of your clips, there was
this weird kind of tent?
of famous tents? Yeah, well, you can go in, you just
stick your hands. Yeah. So that's kind of that's some big
NGO that's doing that. So they've got NGO people running
around that and you watch the military is coming in next.
That's why this is happening
times, it's just physically impossible to reach the affected
areas unharmed. But as we've heard from the UN top man,
business means money does find its way into the fighters hands,
it comes out in a number of reports that are highlighted
with the press on the companies that are doing little or no
activity at all. There are some companies that used to report
that are no longer reporting. And so there's also reputational
risk for them to be seen as laggards and not doing enough to
ensure that they are not fueling any of the conflict in the DRC,
regardless of name brands, and the manufacturers and the
companies that I would buy a cell phone or computer or or a
car from do have influence. They're the some of the richest
companies in the world. And they have the ability to work with
their suppliers and work through their supply chain, and have
that assurance that they're not causing to any death or
destruction or violence against people, you know, or the planet.
So let's deconstruct this for a moment. The story is about
Ebola. And that pretty much leads. I mean, they start off by
lumping it in with diamonds and cell phone material minerals
that you need for charcoal for charcoal, charcoal. There was a
lot of different guesses for that in the troll room, as you
can imagine.
Yeah, I'm sure that have been more accurate. And
maybe was shale oil maybe just came out wrong? I don't know.
But the story goes into. There's bad people there. There's
rebels. It's you know, but these companies aren't doing enough. I
think we're either we're going to see military go in. And it's
going to be under the guise of Ebola, but it's either to kick
the Chinese out, which will be my first guest because they're
the ones that run the show. And they're also the
ones that either it's definitely the case the Chinese Yeah. Okay.
There's no either was your second guest just out of
curiosity?
Just to mess with Apple. Oh, no,
I don't think so. we ever do is messing with Apple.
So yeah, so all we need now is the announcement that we're
sending in troops. The question is, will it be US troops? Will
it be you N troops? Will we send the blue helmets in because you
know, then we can always add cholera? Cholera mix? Un Derek
good for him real good at that job.
You bring your canisters of cholera Lam
just waiting for this waiting for it?
Yeah, it'd be interesting. It was a big horrible Western
weather. And then we have our fires. And Jay says that we
should do the rain sticks because of the fires in San
Francisco. San Francisco Bay Area. California.
Well, here's the problem. I don't have a stick with me.
I said that might be better because then it won't be so
over. We won't overdo it. Yeah, now you give a shake.
He will hit Hold on a second. Let's just take one thing into
consideration. And by the way, you were hearing to
professionals who are trained in the art of rainstick shaking.
This is not this just shocks. Me. Joanne just picked it up.
Let's see. You're already showing that you're a little
rusty on the professionalism there. Yeah, I agree. Yeah,
careful with that.
He sold it. I need to I need to take remedial lessons
shooting rain everywhere man. Create a local microclimate.
These are made by Sherry in Utah. And they are the real rain
sticks and they have been proven to work overboard. No, I doubt
it. Sherry Osborne thought overboard. She's around for
sure. She'll say she'll be sending you an email about it.
Yeah, now here's the Oh Only thing that I'm worried about. If
we shake the stick, you know that that the next disaster the
next disaster in California will be the mudslides and I don't
necessarily know.
We're just going to be rain eventually. And if we don't get
the rain sooner than later the mudslides will be worse. Okay,
I would say he's gonna do one minute one one rotation when one
revolution should be enough. Yeah, and
the reason I'm saying that is because I you know, because of
the report you're gonna play next which is horrible Eastern
weather. Winter arrived
early, taking a deadly toll on the south, killing two and
injuring 44 Some critically on a roadside in Mississippi when
this tour bus slid on an icy highway and flipped onto its
sides. The Mississippi Highway Patrol says the crash was
weather related. The sneak attack of snow, sleet and
freezing temperatures hit Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Louisiana. Southerners have rarely seen this kind of weather
this early in the year. Houston saw flurries this year before
Boston did. But the frigid invasion of cold air is on the
march north. Over the next few days. 85 million people will be
affected. Don Taylor, CBS News, New York.
Okay Lonnie Quinn chief weather Casper, W CBS now is here.
Lonnie, how bad is this gonna get?
Well, I think one of the real bad elements of this storm is
going to be the icing. Now the icing when you look at the radar
pictures depicted by the pink color, it's just like around the
Louisville Kentucky area. But you know, places like St. Louis
you're just getting into the storm you'll pick up about a
half a foot of snow. What does that icing because sometimes you
can drive your car on snow, tough to operate it on ice and
that I 81 Corridor anywhere from portions of Pennsylvania all the
way down into North Carolina and around that area of Louisville
where we see that bright red color. You could pick up a half
an inch, maybe even three quarters of an inch of ice.
Wow. Ice you know, here in in the lowlands it is now halfway
through November. We were outside and I'm here at my buddy
Unicode his place. And he was you know, it was like beautiful
weather here. As is unheard of. It's unheard of.
We have we would have be having beautiful weather here too. If
it wasn't for the reverse winds and smoke coming down from
Toulon are passed away
they How come when we have a big disaster like a hurricane or
anything like that. We always have Anderson Cooper and
everyone's out there why did I see anyone in front of the
fires?
Well, there's a lot of people in front of the bars but none of
the anchors decided to come there's no good restaurants in
the Yeah, okay
now. Now I understand you've explained it perfectly.
So Ghana miles north of Sacramento is lax beans
there's no good restaurant Yeah, it's all comes razor right
there. You hear it lies in action here on the no agenda
show. A couple just some clips just to make you smile. John.
This is from our northern buddy there Canada Navia you know the
weeds is legal up there. Trying the weeds up there. I Toronto
just don't want to animals though. Well, this is
wrong. This is a story about edibles. Actually,
Toronto judge called Vittorio Dominello a complete idiots
after a guilty plea in a college park courthouse Friday. He said
he and his partner Jamie Young had never tried weed before and
decided to give it a go what decision he regretted about 20
minutes later northbound Oakwood in Vaughan what is going on?
What do you need the ambulance for? Are you are you injured at
all? Is it anything happened? I'm just lightheaded.
That's Dominello
using a police radio to call for help after getting so high. He
thought he was dying. One of the officers that rushed to the
scene slipped on ice and suffered a concussion she's
still not able to work Dominello he apologized to his family the
courts and the police a date for sentencing will be sets
next week.
Fantastic story it's an edible thing I'm gonna die man let me
call it HQ.
We've talked about this before we'll talk about it again as
warning to people who don't understand what's going on.
edibles which are a great product have to be you have to
you have to standardize yourself on them. By taking you know if
you have a little they have these little chocolate bits and
they're all packaged up individually. You could download
one of those and you'd be waiting an hour, hour and a half
nothing happens so you take another one. In fact, knowing
that it's going to take you two and a half hours for an edible
to take effect. This is advice don't even Take a whole one,
take a half a one and see what happens to you. You'll find that
possibly that half of a little piece after two and a half hours
is more than adequate for whatever you're interested in
doing usually listening to music,
Rihanna Rihanna is recommended is a good
place to start and just saying these guys are idiots and if I
don't see the packages make it clear enough very nice packaging
but it doesn't have any real instructions on it.
For the troll room, I just want you to know that when it comes
to edibles as a as a product indeed, John is the authority on
this I am errantly I have to be am authority Yes Your voice is
needed it's it's very straight well there there are companies
that are working on making that go faster you're
trying there are a few companies are also being threatened by the
government because they're taking the taken edibles off the
market because of this problem of idiots like that guy up in
Canada. Well, this becoming a problem for the you know,
we need we need an education campaign by the Lear Foundation.
The by the Lear Hollywood Lear Foundation. They should do it
actually. Or you could just purchase this next product many
discoveries
in my life. But you don't have to be an Einstein to know it's
more important than ever. To keep dreaming.
keep your dreams alive. Start with a good night's sleep.
UNISOM sleep tabs help you fall asleep 33% faster at autos. 33
That's the magic number. The magic number
it shows up what? Yes, not 32 Where are you getting the
numbers? For flip not 34 but 33% faster. 97% of all scientists
agree. Yes.
33% Here's I got it. Here's an offbeat clip from this that
never got national attention, but I thought we had potential.
This is the Baraboo High School Nazi salute
in Wisconsin. Baraboo High School has come under intense
scrutiny as a photo of at least 60 male students giving the Nazi
salute went viral this week. One student in the front row is seen
making a white power symbol with his index finger and thumb no
photo was reportedly taken ahead of the student's junior prom
last spring and was posted on social media site with the
hashtag bearable. Proud.
She emphasizes that the end is though that's some sort of code.
What the hell is that? I mean, what are they doing? What are
these kids thinking just helped me with that first off. They're
goof balls
from Wisconsin and they somebody thought would be funny is hey
man, look we're all white. Let's do a Nazi salute and take a
picture of and then post it and now we'll get some big laughs
stoners
it's those edibles they should have just stayed home listening
to Rihanna but no they had to do go and do that. Well, thank you
that made my day or evening I should say as we're coming up by
the night you nine guilty right good Sunday. No unico is
actually cook something for me. Oh, good guys night in. Yeah.
All right. Hey, I'll be here for next for Sunday show as well. So
I'm sure we'll have more Europian news rundown of what's
happening here and in the old country, as we gear up to go to
war with the United States amongst others. Good for us.
Please remember us in our value for value model and support the
show by going to divorce act.org/na. And thank you all
producers. Thank you troll room. Thank you back office. Thank you
infrastructure, etc. Thank you. John C. Dvorak, coming to you.
From the loft here in Leiden in the Netherlands get one nation
lowlands in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley. We're being invaded
apparently in the southern border. But we'll talk about
that in the next show. I'm John C. Dvorak
until Sunday adios.
CNN should be ashamed of himself Excuse me. That's an Amex. Pet.
That's enough. That's enough. Capital. Mr. President, that's
enough. I That's enough is enough? Excuse me, run the
country. You run CNN. So that's going to happen. That happened a
few days ago. Mr. President, CNN should be ashamed of himself.
Mr. President. That's enough. Mr. President, that's enough.
That's going to happen. Happens. Excuse me. It's not going to

Mr. President. Mr. President,
by the way I have I have the peak oil of the dogs. It's
actually for myself, I don't have to worry. Because here's
what's going to happen. As climate change makes
temperatures warmer crops fail. We have a global food shortage.
We start eating the dogs and cats fixes climate change
makers through and through, control, barbecue cooking if you
don't know how to do it, I'll show you how to cook the door.
got older my name is gotta be the best recipe thinly sliced
fleshes just like they do in the nether of dogs.
I'm Jess cook in the dog can't be done. I had to do it. I'll
show you how to cook
well, you may think this is strange. We eat our pads for
climate change. Save the planet and be the sweet potato fries
and a slice of outdoor cooking. Just cooking if you don't know
how to do it, I'll show you how to get over here. We got some.
My place as usual, it's Broward County and
what's going on in Broward County.
And the first time we hear Broward election supervisors
speak publicly about the medical marijuana ballot glitch.
Broward back this tree is a reminder of the power of this
tornado that touched down here at Broward colleges North
Campus.
There's none of the ugliness that we expected about the fraud
or what I call the daisy fraud. It's once again from Broward
County
and we're facing another election dispute focused largely
on Broward
County have been
talking about this. It's it's hard for us in Broward County to
wrap our minds around the fact that this happened in our
community. The Broward County Sheriff's Office posted
a new fact checker website which it says is meant to clarify
misinformation and allegations
law enforcement are finding and documenting more flock
in Broward than anywhere else in the nation. Clearly this is
something that has grabbed the attention of the American public
just now red tide is here in Broward County.
We have area SWAT teams and the Broward sheriff's office
watching. We read the entire report. If you look at Broward
County, they have had a horrible history.
There are still votes to be counted here at Broward County
Election headquarters. But they won't say how many Saturday in
Broward County. MoPhO
boruch.org/and. Wow, I am really high
