I never thought about it much but I think you might be right.
Adam curry, John C Devorah
and Sunday January 13 2019. This is your award winning
combination media assassination episode 11 103 This is no agenda
preparing for our 2020 Nexant and broadcasting live from the
Capitol the drone Star state here in downtown Austin J House
in the studio in the morning everybody I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley I'm here with some Jake mins
throat and chest and his flavored menthol cough
suppressant. I'm Jesse Devorah.
Buzzkill. That throw you off track with my 2020 Nexus. Did
you were you thinking about it?
I heard that. Yeah. Totally had me. Oh, my God. No. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. John and I were talking after the last show,
which we rarely do. Except during choosing art.
Well, yeah. Realize this business.
And I realized this morning again, it's like everyone's
announcing we're two years ahead of an election. I think you and
I really only can do 24 months of this and then we'll just
either we have to just be stop. die of this. Yeah, we've been
thinking about this. It's it just might be time to let some
younger folk in to do this.
It's therein lies the rub. What? Well, the problem though, is it
goes this effort. Ah, thank you. 123456788. Only Wait, what? Holy
mackerel. That's the smallest Jeff I've ever seen. Oh, my God.
Yeah, yes, therein lies the rub. You said,
Yeah, therein lies the rub of detail. But the problem is
dimensionality of our show really relies on the fact that
both of us were very, we were
old. And we have experience in stories
I have experienced. In fact, I have two kinds of experiences,
including working. During the summer when I was in high
school, I think even maybe the eighth grade because there were
jobs available for kids it was like not not uncommon. And where
you get a lot of, you know, a varied, you get varied
experience. And then you can relate some of the things you've
learned over a long period of time, it's pretty hard for
somebody to just waltz in and you know, book learning and
really be able to accomplish what we do.
Okay. But still, that's nothing to do with us. There was that
we're just going to be so tired of this crap, some believable,
it's hard. It's a hard job protecting people's amygdala.
Well,
it is and it doesn't have the media, of course doesn't help at
all. My favorite thing was the I saw it for two or three places.
And I'm noticing this and I've said I've talked about on the
show before but now I realize is one of those code words that the
left uses when they do their writing to signals where the
came out, you know, I'm on your side. And the word is or the
word is a phrase lashed out? Yes. Amy does it all the time. I
know said Mother Jones. Here's a big headline. Donald Trump
lashed out at a Navy 34 year Navy Seal is about McRaven who's
actually a four star Admiral what's his little more
impressive than being a seal right? But apparently everybody
else felt to being a seal is more important. And it's easier
for this he lashed out so I got found where he lashed out. And
this is this is my grave and lashes out or Trump lashes said
started just a clip of seismic Raven,
Bill McRaven retired admiral Navy Seal 37 years former head
of US Special Operations the Clintons and special operations
made Hillary Clinton fan who led the operations commanded the
operations that took down Saddam Hussein and killed Osama bin
Laden says that your sentiment is the greatest threat to
democracy in his life.
He's a Hillary Clinton backer and an Obama backer. And
frankly, the Navy SEAL wouldn't have been nice if we got Osama
bin Laden a lot sooner than that. Not sure
why he said that. That's your lashing out.
I don't know if it would have made any difference if we got
him any sooner than we got him.
Well, Sir thing that was interesting in that clip and you
couldn't quite hear it is that as Trump is complaining about
McRaven Chris Wallace is rolling his eyes. No, no, he's he's
aghast at everything he says but he's a 37 year Navy SEAL as if
that's some sort of I guess when you you're if your navy seal for
I don't think it was work as its I don't think he worked as a
seal probably Been doing demolition for 37 years. But he
was he was a seal for 37 years. He says that as though it's some
sort of makes him an untouchable. You can't you can't
say anything about these guys. Well, that why is that
that's the elites of our armed forces who need to be at war
continuously. They they are the true heroes.
There was also, he was also dealt with this. This was part
of a series of interviews Chris Rock Wallace did with Trump. And
I want to play a short part of another one as a 152 clip. It's
not the whole thing, but I'm gonna set it up. This is Chris
Wallace and Trump ins and discussing fake news, where
Wallace talks about fake news and does the correct Trump
quote. But very slowly still finds that if you say fake news
is the enemy of the people you are saying. And Wallace is
totally convinced it is you are saying the media.
Oh, really? So it's not the fake news. It's no
fake news. According to Chris, I mean, if you listen to him in
the way he defends that or attacks Trump, essentially. He
is He is flabbergasted. Trump keeps trying to No, I'm saying
fake news. I'm not talking about media like the media, fake news,
fake news.
And who is he talking with? Chris Wallace of
Fox Fox. And by the way, I will say this, if you heard the other
if you heard any of this stuff. It's so obvious that Chris
Wallace is a major Democrat.
I think just just to reiterate, for any anyone who's relatively
new, because we haven't actually broach this topic in a couple of
months to Trump and the way we always understood it was Trump
said Fake news is the enemy of the people, not the journalists,
not free press, not the news media. Nope. Fake news media. I
think he did one say yes, CNN fake news. I think he equated
them to fake news.
I think he said CNN fake news more than once. Now, but
he actually in in context of fake news being the enemy
of the people. So fear, maybe,
let's get to the bigger issue in 2017. Last year, you tweeted
this, and I want to quote it accurately. The fake news media
is not my enemy. It is the enemy of the American people.
100% not the media. I'm glad you finally quoting it correctly,
because they like to leave the fake news. Okay, but that's what
you said fake news. So people that are supporting me in
particular, they're very smart people. They're hardworking,
brilliant, great people. They know when the news is fake. And
they get angry when they see all of the fakeness. And, frankly,
the network of
people who've been critical of other presidents, they're there.
No president has liked his press coverage. John Kennedy in your
oval office canceled the subscription to the New York
Herald Tribune. Nobody called it the enemy of the American
people. Chris,
I'm calling the fake news is the enemy. It's fake. It's phony.
But it'll take some serious dudes who don't know it's not
No, no, I don't mind getting bad news, if I'm wrong if I do
something wrong. Like for instance, the cemetery, I was
not allowed to go because of the Secret Service, because they
expected to take a helicopter, they had zero visibility. They
said, Sir, we are totally unequipped for you to go. In
addition to that, the cemetery was far too far away from Air
Force One, which is sort of like a control center where you had
to be near, not one paper that I saw wrote it that way. They said
I stayed out of it, because of the rain. And yet, the following
day, I made a speech at the American Cemetery. It was
pouring. It wasn't even really raining the first day, but the
fog was tremendous. Okay,
but cert leaders and authoritarian countries like
Russia, China, Venezuela, now repressed the media, using your
words, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake fake. You are fake news is
fake
news. So either Wallace isn't listening, which is likely, but
he's also been infected.
He's totally infected. He's not listening at all. And then he
goes on to say that Russia, China and Venezuela are using
his words to justify media suppression with with or without
his words, they have media suppression. What is this point,
but he will not as far as he's concerned, fake news is the
media. And Trump says the media is the enemy of the people. That
is the way it turns out if you listen to the whole thing. It's
like it's a jaw dropper he's not. And Trump even way on
Trump's side on his argument. Trump
even even thought that well, I'm so glad you bring that up.
You're on my side. No, no, it's true. This is Fake News. This is
so good. No, it's fake news. We haven't played those in a long
time. Yeah. Well, there is some help on the horizon unless you
have more of the Chris Wallace.
So I have that little bit because the lashing out the
lashing out fake news out keep an eye out for that phrase
people
Fake news is going to be combated or your Savior is here.
It's called news guard.
Well, think of it as the credit catch 22.
Wrong clip. With my incredibly cool intro. Yeah, we'll try it
again. We'll cut it out. No one will ever know I did it wrong.
News guard.
And now there's a great plugin to help you navigate through the
world of fake news. It's called news guard. It won't pick up
fake news alerts like the anti virus software when you click on
a story link. For now, news Guard provides descriptions for
news sources, not individual articles or stories. So there's
a whole rating system with as many as nine criteria stuff like
the responsibility of journalists or telling apart
news from opinion to name a couple.
We use humans not algorithms to identify unreliable news,
because we believe our work should be done with transparency
and accountability.
So this is very, very interesting little project that
is popping up and is getting some ink this weekend news guard
and I installed the plugin so you don't have to. This is
great. So the way it works, is you install the plugin has a
little shield course I got 18 of these shields. Now everyone's
got a shield.
And it's a shield. Well, right now, you have more than one.
Oh, no, I have a shield for my ad blocker. And yeah, so there's
all kinds of shields, you have to have protection protection.
So it fits right in with this is protecting me from viruses and
malware
and basically the same kind of Gestalt. Yes,
the Gestalt is correct. But this, they have a rating system.
And they really do it not based on articles, but based on the
website, maybe even the domain name. So they have nine. Oh,
yeah. So when you hit it, you hit a page. And it'll show you
varying degrees of safety in this little icon. Safety. Yeah.
So if it's green, you're safe. If it's red, you're not safe.
You go to Infowars. It's red with an exclamation mark, which
they got their own
category they do. Let's let me just premiere Grand Cru let me
Yes, let me go to infowars.com and click it goes red with an
exclamation mark, proceed with caution. This website generally
fails to maintain basic standards of accuracy and
accountability. And then it has little information. Oh, it says
a site founded and run by radio host Alex Jones that has
reported among other false stories that 911 was
orchestrated by the Bush administration. And the 2012.
mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School was a hoax.
And you can click on something that says see the full nutrition
label. What? Yes, right underneath that, so I'm
going with a different digital, you're using all the memes
knee? Let me take
a look at what happens when you click on that. Yeah, like to see
the nutrition labels.
Oh, my goodness, there's a whole report about ownership and
financing sorbate in there, that's what I like to know. No.
So it has a to pay like a full webpage about ownership, the
content, credibility, transparency history. So that's
the nutrition label, or somebody's sense of work. Now
let's go back for a second and take a look at a second. Click
on this again. And underneath it here is what has the categories
that it has to adhere to credibility, it does not
repeatedly published false content. Interesting. gaps, it
hasn't but it has an x. So that means it's does I guess, oh, so
it is it has X's and checkmarks on the x side credibility does
not repeatedly publish false content, I guess they do. So
that means an X and other x for gathers and represents
information responsibly, whatever that means. X regularly
corrects or clarifies errors X handles the difference between
news and opinion responsibly. I'd love to see cnn.com We'll go
in a second x. Avoid next avoids deceptive headlines x. Now we do
have a couple of checks website discloses ownership and
financing. Clearly labels advertising, reveals who's in
charge, including any possible conflicts of interest. And the
site provides names of content creators along with either
contact or biographical information so that they're
hitting all these categories and that these this criteria, and
it's just what I said it's credibility, transparency, and
they have all these little box let's take just as a joke, let's
just look at CNN because they don't think they understand the
difference between a ping In a news, now CNN gets a green
check. Oh, good. Of course they do. Give me how old was tried to
vorak.org? Or what would be blogged about the more I got
or divert doubt or slash blog is what it is officially.
And direct.org/blog. You have MC, your shield is empty. You're
neither here nor there. Yeah. All right, submit this site for
review. Oh, we'll do it. Here we go. And I have to submit my
email address, which is John dvorak.org. Submit. The site was
submitted for review by our staff, and I will stay tuned for
that. But here's what's a little more interesting for you and I
and for our no agenda producers. Let's take a look at who these
people are. Who is running this news guard and see if we know
anybody here probably got a lot of staff. John Alsop, do we know
him? No one I really recognize here but I did recognize a
couple of members of the advisory board. Tom Ridge.
Tom Ridge to get Homeland Security guy
under Bush. Yep. Richard Stengel. former editor of Time
Magazine, yeah. And Undersecretary of State in the
Obama administration.
Bomba bots. While he's not rich, but
General Michael Hayden, director of CIA, John bear. He's a
lawyer, at least Jordan, political an analyst, NBC former
speechwriter for Condoleezza Rice. John Battelle of was he
Wired Magazine. John Battelle is on there. Yes. On the advisory
board along with Jessica lesson.
Leslie. Yeah, she's the girl that runs some the automation
news.
Yeah, the information. And then we have oh, are their
investment. I
will say this, these people except for Ridge are all very
left leaning.
The investors? I don't know I don't know all these names.
Steven Brill. I just had to ring the bell grille
is an old hack from New York who did Brill magazine and and Oh,
that's right. Yes. He's very famous kind of hack. guy that's
never really made much.
Gordon Crovitz means nothing to me. Nicholas Penniman, the
fourth and Nicholas Penniman the fifth nothing. Ah, here's my
favorite, the publishers group.
Pretty much the nation's operation one of the big boys.
And if you look now at what they have, and I think this is
ultimately what this thing is about, it's not about protecting
you
know, it's about protecting the income of the publicists group.
Yes. And we see this by looking at the menu of news guard, news
guard tech.com We have ratings how it works News Literacy,
press about us. brand safety. Oh, let's click on brand safety.
Yes. Finally, it says here a way to protect brand safety by
keeping ads off unreliable news websites. So this is a very
interesting way to approach their brand safety issue, which
we know has been a problem since advertising on the Internet
since day one. Yeah. So now instead of them having to figure
out where they should it you know, you have these these
networks these ad networks and you know, they buy it on a real
time I was like a stock market basis. And it just floods
everything and you know, no matter how many times angry
gorillas are what's the what's that outfit named? Sleeping
Giants No. Sleeping Giant. That's the yeah that one they
always shame everyone. Oh, you're advertising on you have
Tucker Carlson Are you advertising on Breitbart? Do you
do you know that this ad network is running your ad on this
horrible Nazi website? So now they won't have to worry about
that because everyone can protect themselves and that will
protect the safety of the brands because remember this
you right we did a real time analysis on the spot
that's what it is. Boom
Yes, exactly what it is to protect it's a scam it's not
for you it's for your god the advertiser everyone in America
knows who the real bosses There you go. Nice any other website
you want me to check with the news guard before I uninstalled
it okay get CNN New York to give it to get the green light for
the best Yeah,
let's do a
fox which are sketchy with
Fox a Fox News. Oh, green fox goes full green. This is this is
not against mainstream left or right. This is against
independents.
Yeah, let's find some independence. What's a good
independent? How about Breitbart? Perfect, good. Good
one. Yes. Right.
Oh, read within exclamation mark
now very bad. Drudge then put drudge if they have anything on
him drudge.
Drudge empty. He just has empty, empty No, no newsguard rating
yet.
What else is there? There's Oh, there's the regular ones. I
can't think of any offhand. But there's probably a couple that
would show up oddly.
Oh, this is interesting. I went to Wikipedia. Wikipedia gets a
blue icon shield with an N little eye for information.
Let's see what it says this website is a platform that
publishes content from its users that it does not vet information
from this source may not be reliable. Pa. What do they say
on Twitter? Think there's a lot of fake news there. Isn't there?
Twitter loaded? Twitter has nothing. No radio?
Yeah. Well, they should have some because that's where the
advertisers with Yes. And your money
is the most important part. Yeah. Well, Facebook then. I
don't want I don't have I don't can't log in. But I can go to
the page. Now. It's the same. It's just empty. Empty. Hmm. How
about Snopes?
Notice it doesn't take advertising. Why would they
bother Snopes
is good to go. green checkmark all good. Anyway, doesn't
matter. It's about the advertisers. Yeah. And that's
why one of the biggest, or I don't know if they're the
biggest but one of the investors is publicists, one of the
biggest advertising conglomerates out
huge public relations advertising operation that's
been monstrous. Yes. And they're looking for any way they can to
streamline their brand safe, you know, knowledge or crap. But
they don't have to look at anything. They're, you know,
these guys they'd never years ago and the advertising buyers
took over the place of all a bunch of just graduated women
from from Ivy League colleges. Don't look at any of the
magazines at all. They just go buy a bunch of reports and then
they pick magazines to put the ads you're dumb advertiser, you
go along with their program. And next thing you know, you're all
over the you end up accidentally getting into unbranded safe.
Situations had become embarrassing. This is a way of
getting around that we run everything through this
operation. This is part of a sales pitch is fantastic. Of
course,
advertising on the Internet is just at the end of its
rope to scam. It truly
is. I mean, you take all the fake audience into account and
the arbitrage between fake clicks and so called blogs and
bots and all this stuff. Yeah. Obviously, what they
do, instead of doing anything for looking for first brand safe
websites, you have moved via this phony mechanism. How about
something that really clamps down on bots?
Well, you know, there was a an interesting thread on slash dot
that I was reading yesterday, the day before. And the question
was, do bots, social media bots have freedom of speech? And I
think if it was seriously, if you think about Congress shall
make no laws regarding the freedom of speech. It doesn't
stipulate that's just people. I mean, if if money is speech,
which the Supreme Court ruled, I think Twitter or social social
media bots have free speech to ultimately,
okay, let's say they have free speech. So what they still
shouldn't be pumping up the numbers on some site, because
they may have free speech, which we've determined that they do,
just right now, real time, maybe they have any buying power, they
get no buying power.
They have no purchasing power, they're useless. That just along
these lines, when we were talking about net neutrality,
which California's it has now, I think, because just all is
supposedly, and we have a number of gripes about it, and we think
it's very bad. And it's a bad idea, because you do not want to
give any type of regulatory powers over the Internet to a
government government body. And one of the main things, if you
can recall, is about what your internet provider would be able
to block. Do you remember the terminology? No. Unlawful
network traffic or unlawful content? Yeah. And I bring this
up because there's a story that came out today. An alarming
piece of legislation is about to enter into force in India next
month, mandating that social media platforms such as Facebook
remove unlawful content, such as posts that affects the site aren
t and integrity of India, meaning that this law could
easily be abused by New Delhi to demand the internationally
recognized Pakistani map to be banned, because it contradicts
India's maximalist claims to Kashmir. So, the point I bring
up here is that here is a country saying that map is not
legal, it is unlawful, and therefore, you may not surface
that on your platforms, literally the definition of
unlawful content by an authoritarian regime.
Yeah. And there you go. And there's your net neutrality.
There's
your net neutrality in a box with a bow around it.
One of many examples, I'm sure,
but let's just stick on free speech for a second. Here it is.
This is Quick News report legal victory for
the families of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting massacre in
Newtown, Connecticut, the families of six victims one
pretrial access to information about controversial host and
conspiracy theorists and Alex Jones and his program Infowars.
The family sued Jones for defamation for his repeated
claims the deadly shooting was a hoax. 20 Elementary students and
six educators were murdered during that rampage.
So this is build the headline is a little different than this
kind of sober report. The headline is Alex Jones loses
legal battle. Do you think do you think the guys already lost
the whole court case? But they're actually allowed to
subpoena company records? And I think internal documents
and Jones's operation
Yes. Yeah. So
it's, you're not gonna find what you're gonna find.
But hold on. He's he protected under free speech? Is he
protected under the Freedom of the press?
Yeah, I don't what's that got to do with this case, when you're
getting sued? Well, he's being sued, protected from
investigation not protected from discovery. He's
being sued for defamation. Yeah,
if you being sued for defamation, and they get
discovery thing goes through English or climate through
people's records.
But I'm asking you, I'm asking a different question. Yeah. If
you're a news gathering, I'm just looking trying to look at
it 360 A whole perspective, if your news gathering brings you
to the conclusion that this was either fake false flag hoax. And
you keep repeating that? Is that invalid reporting? It could be
fake news, but it's still news.
I had to you know, I think it I think, if you can can if you do
the work, and those are the conclusions you draw, without
any underlying prejudices, like CNN, or New York Times, for that
matter, according to Jill Abramson. But only on the iPad,
it's fine, but I think what they're trying to do is
circumvent there. Were here's what, just what you said what
you asked, which is those logical question, and what
they're doing makes me think that they're trying to prove
that that's not what happened to Jones didn't do any, any work on
this. And they there's, there's a memo in there some say, hey,
we can milk this and sell more vitamins.
You don't think there's a memo like that at NBC?
Well, the NBC is not being sued?
No, of course not. But so yes, gotcha. And would that then
still not be considered journalism?
I think you will view it. Well, so far as slander and libel is
concerned. I think that'd be a smoking gun.
But definitely discredit tation of alternative news sources.
Yeah, because he builds himself as a news source.
Yeah. You do get some news from his operation. Sometimes. It's
pretty interesting. Yeah. So I'm not saying he's not a new
source. I think he is a new source generally just do wraps
it in a lot of vitriol and showmanship.
No different than lots of M five M outfits. Right, Jim Acosta
showmanship.
Oh, it's just cost is one of the worst.
I loved his thing at the wall though.
His stand up was great. Yeah, he was doing though I saw that too.
It's
I'm here and there's no problem at this at the wall. I didn't
quite understand. You think that the editor just was like, Ah,
it's a caster. We'll just put him put his thing on he's always
good not to worry about it. And they didn't watch it.
Well, there's they have a dinner, there's a place that
someone should go in and look for the hidden agenda. For
example, CNN, reached out to K USI. And I have a clip here.
This is a good story. Now is K USI. An affiliate of any
network? Are they completely independent?
Ah, they may be independent. I'm not sure I'll look it up. I'll
look at as you play, or you can look it up. But anyway, they
called CS que si quieres que si is down on the border and they
wanted to get. We didn't want to send anyone there. And so they
decided to sit, get some local reporters to do a story on the
border wall. And the story didn't come out the way CNN
wanted it, because they find it the border wall would be
effective. And so CNN just they just spiked it as a sign of. I'm
just gonna say to piss these guys off enough that they do
this report
as a sign of the times in this debate on the shutdown. CNN
asked if K USI would provide a reporter to offer our local view
of the debate, especially the learn if the wall works in San
Diego Hey USI offered our own damn plan who's reported many
times that the wall is not an issue here. In fact,
most issue officials believe it is effective. The issue we face
is the migrants and the debate over their treatments.
Now knowing this CNN declined to have us on their programs which
often present the wall as not required in other places like
the stretch of the Texas border the President visited earlier
today they didn't like what they heard from us it's
just a background for you.
I think CNN is doubling down aren't they know we? We deny
reports all the time. That's killing broadcasting and
McKinnon owns K ay ay in Corpus Christi which is an ABC
affiliate KBM T in Beaumont, which is also an ABC affiliate
NBC sub channel affiliate. And K USI is independent.
Yeah,
they look like you're Yeah, these are probably the probably
right wing well considered
maybe i Who knows
well listen, McKinnon broadcasting company does
business as Texas television.
Okay, so they probably right wing right wing and haters but
then why would they call them
because that's what they do they troll you know, something
happens you troll Twitter you say you say hey can I DM you to
get your story? Hey, can I use your video can give me
permission Hey, can we talk Hey, that's today's journalism
shallow extremely shallow let's see here was the this it you
play that clip I might as well play this clip from as a
Democrat who is she is representative Jayapal J Powell.
Please spell it. PayPal J i
miss Pay Pal?
J Apollo J A y a pal but you look at the word you just want
to say PayPal every time you see it? Well, here she is with Chris
Hayes. And I looked for the original clip because apparently
he said something that led her into this. I could not find it.
So here's the quick one, which is doing the rounds. It is
fundamentally existential if he continues to insist on a wall
and you know, you just said it so beautifully. Chris, this has
never been about a wall here.
It's existential. Yeah. Existential. It is fundamentally
Hold
on a second. Let's get to make sure you understand the
definition. The
exit yes means survival of life.
Survival of life. All life will end well no,
she's well maybe what she's she's going to wrap it up. In
the end. She's saying border wall to Trump is existential
because
it is fundamentally existential, if he continues to insist on a
wall. And you know, you just said it so beautifully. Chris,
this has never been about a wall. He actually could have
gotten funding a couple of years ago or a year ago. For a wall.
It was part of a deal that was proposed. Not all of us agreed
with that deal. But it was proposed to him and he turned it
down because his ultimate goal is as you said, to make America
pure in the sense of not having immigrants not having folks of
color here and shutting down every form of legal immigration.
Yeah, okay. So that's, that's really out there.
Yeah, that's what she is. She's a nut case from Washington
State. You know what district she's
Where did she say? She said something? She said something
interesting there in the middle that I want to see what was it
is fundamentally, but it was proposed to him and he
turned Yeah, I remember what was proposed. In I think they
actually said that they would. The last time this came around
when there was a brief shutdown as well. It was about DACA, the
dreamers, the Deferred Action kids. And on the table, I
believe that the Trump administration said, okay, not
only the million dreamers, it was 800,000, something like
that. The million dreamers will will will let them stay. And
they'll give them a pathway to citizenship. And then they bolt
that it's not because you want you won't allow a chain
migration and I think they said okay, we'll allow the dreamers
and any parents who are here You're with them. So it upped it
to two, two and a half million. But that wasn't enough. The
Democrats wanted all family to be able to join
the gene migration is everybody every Tom, Dick and Harry any
mate? Yeah, they want every relative everybody to come.
Democrats didn't want
No, they didn't want it exactly they really didn't want. Now, as
I was looking for this longer clip, I found something that
refers back to something AOC Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said in
her rebuttal of the President's speech about the wall on the
Rachel Maddow Show, and we we wondered about this. On the last
episode, the
president should not be asking for more money to an agency that
has systematically violated human rights. The president
should be really defending why we are funding such an agency at
all. Because right now, what we are seeing is death. Right now,
what we are seeing is the violation of human rights, these
children and these families are being held in what are called
yellow letters, which are basically freezing boxes that no
person should be maintained in for any amount of time, let
alone the amount of time that they are being kept on
the freezing boxes. And we're like, Oh, hold on a second. What
exactly she talking about turns out in June, the same Pay Pal
lady talked about this.
Many of them talked about these facilities that they have
nicknames for one nickname is the icebox because the
temperatures are so cold, that it's they liken it to a freezer,
some of these women had crossed the Rio Grande come out of the
river wet to turn themselves in. And were immediately put into
these freezing facilities. No blankets, no mats, another
facility they call the dump. So
really, it's a nickname for the slammer. And I've received a
couple of emails about this as well. It's like saying, Hey, we
put them on ice, we throw them in the cell. Yeah, I'm sure it's
not beautifully heated or whatever. It's not the most
comfortable place to be. But it's not the way AOC made it
sound is we're putting them into ice boxes,
kits, which makes it perfect little thing with a handle on
it. And it's like an insulated ice box and you throw them in
there and lock them in. Yeah, it's yeah, that's what she makes
it sound like, yes, yes, she's the worst.
It's pretty bad. Pretty bad. This was out there. This was the
comparison of Trump and Obama on the border situation. This is
something that's real, I forget who made it. But it's out there.
We now have an actual humanitarian crisis on the
border that only underscores the need to drop the politics and
fix our immigration system once and for all.
This is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart, and a
crisis of the soul.
In recent weeks, we've seen a surge of unaccompanied children
arrive at the border brought here and to other countries by
smugglers and traffickers. The journey is unbelievably
dangerous for these kids.
Child smugglers exploit the loopholes. And they gain illegal
entry into the United States, putting countless children in
danger on the perilous trek to the United States. They come up
through Mexico,
protecting public safety and deporting dangerous criminals
has been and will remain the top priority, we
will begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal
immigrants from the country.
But we are going to refocus our efforts where we can to make
sure we do what it takes to keep our border secure. We want to
secure our border. You go. Yeah,
well draw your own conclusions.
You can do that till the cows come home.
Yeah, but no one does. And the President doesn't do it yet. Now
he's tweeting now he's tweeting. Vinay Steve missed such an
opportunity while
he misses the I think we nailed it. Last show is that he
shouldn't be doing what Ross Perot did explain things and
show the hypocrisy of the other side by playing clips.
Does he even do a presidential address anymore? Does he do a
weekly thing?
That weekly thing? Yeah, I haven't looked at that. And so
it's an interesting question, because apparently, someone who
was beat it was to watch those things. Yeah. As has.
We know what happened? What happened is they changed
whitehouse.gov. And they removed all RSS feeds and everything.
drillings stuff, total dick move. Not just links, just Rs
just feeds the the ability to subscribe and see what's going
on.
Yeah, there's been a concerted effort to to screw with RSS
feeds. Yeah, because the big media
Well, it started with Google killing Google Reader.
Yeah, well, Google's an agent of the big media, and they're
an agent of change jaunt. And they did that. Now, I think
that's when they were coming out with the was the Google not
Google Groups. Was it called the
Google Plus?
Yeah, Google Plus, I think that's where they killed it
was it didn't they slammed the door on that already? They can't
make anything work.
So it's not. It's not highlighted anywhere on the
website, the presidential do it radio address. There you go.
That's what I did. It just shows you lots of CNN things.
No, well, maybe he stopped doing him.
It was remember there was at a certain point, everyone was
like, Oh, he's gonna start his own news network. Remember that
call that was during the election? Huh? He was going to
lose and start his own network. Now.
It was it was after one of his first kind of, you know, weekly
addresses.
Now I think you
may be wrong. Oh, hands weekly radio address. Here it is. My
God couldn't be buried any further. What does he have?
Yeah, yeah, he's got one. No. Oh, look at this last one. He
did February 3 2017.
No. So he stopped it. We looked at his numbers. He said, Hold
on. Let me let me just make sure is this really right. Is this
right? That makes no sense. That screw this you ruined
whitehouse.gov. Trump can't even look at
his numbers like a good TV guy wouldn't says nobody's watching
this. They're just using the information against me. I'll
tweet them but he could
tweet a YouTube of himself.
Yeah, good. That'd be cool. Yeah, you know, there's a bunch
of things he's not doing. That's because of those douchebags that
he's got working for him. Yes, you're not helping them at all.
They're all Deep State creeps.
Got a note from a Bronx millennial about AOC. Every week
a couple of them actually
going to Yeah, I started we had two notes. At least I'm gonna
say I want to read this one. I'm a millennial, an avid listener
who happens to live in AOCs district and Astoria, Queens.
It's like It's like and I happen to be gay. It's like I happen to
live there. Okay. I was not lucky enough to have a knock on
my door nor did any of my friends in the area. I do know
of a couple of dimension d members who did meet her at
rallies around the area but I can't speak of anyone meeting
her beyond that. It is much it mentioned much in the M five M
that she is from the Bronx but she is indeed from Yorktown
Heights in Westchester, which is just north of the Bronx. Your
analysis on the show may not be too far off as Hillary Clinton's
Clinton Foundation funded mansion in New York is in
Chappaqua. This is about 20 minutes south of where AOC is
from Westchester County. My only issue with that's was my theory
is Joe Crowley who she defeated for the seat. He was an
establishment Democrat who also ran as a third party candidate
against her. I don't think he really ran did he? Did he
actually write in for that? I think gave up. I think he gave
up he may have just been playing his part. But what do I know?
Anyway, Amazon HQ too, will soon be jacking up my rent, but I
still recently signed up for a monthly donation. While it may
be small now I hope to add to it in the near future as I make
Bezos money. Keep doing what you're doing. And please know
that there are sane Millennials out there who love what you're
doing, even if you're too old white dudes. Thanks, Shawn.
The other note was very similar to him. It's said that there's
no chance that Hillary has she's too much of an anathema for
Hillary to be part of the scheme.
Yeah. Now it's news. And we're just gonna we might as well get
out of the way now. News this weekend. That may be Joe Biden's
running, he might have told somebody but no one really
knows. For all Joe is he's not getting anything.
No, he's not there, they're gonna push him aside as fast as
they can.
I don't think he has any chance of even getting in the race.
But we did have a maybe in the first round of debates,
we did have one of our Texas, Texas boys pipe up in San
Antonio, we're gonna make sure this is Julian or Julio Castro,
we're gonna make sure that the promise of America is available
to everyone in this 21st century.
You see, I learned from my mother so many years ago in this
community, that when we want change, we don't wait for
change. We work for it. When my grandmother got here, almost 100
years ago, I'm sure that she never could have imagined that
just two generations later, one of her grandsons would be
serving as a member of the United States Congress. And the
other would be standing with you here today to say these words. I
am a candidate for President of the United States same guy,
no, no, this Yep, he's got his brother. One. And this is Julian
Pulliam.
Yeah, but this is Julian,
the one running He's running. Yeah.
Isn't he a member of Congress? Oh,
his brother is he was the mayor of San Antonio. Okay. And these
guys, both these brothers were tipped, we were talking about
Professor Pennebaker. Just the other day, the professor came up
with the whole performative measurement and, and tracking
of, certainly politicians using performative when we had one of
our dinners, when people still could stand me for get kicked
out of the robot group. There he was the one who was saying, Oh,
it's gonna be the Castro brothers may be Marco Rubio, but
the Castro Castro brothers will talk with the Castro brothers,
Castro brothers, and there'll be fighting against Beto. So it'd
be interesting to see what happens.
Well, there's a lot of people that hear these stories,
especially back in the Brooklyn area where there's these upper
publishing operations that have people working there white
girls, who will not vote for Beto. Really because he's white.
Oh, there's so many white girls I know who love him. And he's
also doing the Instagram thing,
doesn't mean they're gonna vote from this woman's the same way.
She I love Beto. He's the greatest but I can't vote for
president because he's white.
Do you have a clip of that? Would love to hear a clip for
that?
One? Sure. There's a clip out there available. I'm sure if you
just go man on the street. You can get one. Yeah. But the
Castro brothers as doesn't seem like much of a threat to me.
I think that it's changed so dramatically. And one of the
people I was a big fan of and I'm quite sure, maybe five years
ago, I said this is your future President of the United States.
Although I think that chance has been diminished because the
whole Tulsi Gabbard
Oh, Tulsi. Yeah, we should talk about her.
I have a number of questions.
I've never thought you would, you know, when you look into
Tulsi Gabbard, she's got two or three strikes against her she
hasn't got a chance to snowball's chance in hell of
going anywhere and then the progressives don't like her.
Oh, they hate her. I mean, I see article after article here.
Tulsi Gabbard doesn't deserve your vote in 2020. Tulsi Gabbard
is forced porn policy sucks. US presidential candidate Tulsi
Gabbard bought crypto at height of bull market. Slam. For that
article up, I couldn't resist putting that in the show notes.
Gavin Gabbard 37 is a fresh energetic face on the American
political scene. However, her chances of winning the Democrat
party's nomination are slim, given the huge field of
candidates. Wait, as CCN reported, which is probably
crypto coin news, Tulsi Gabbard bought between 1015 $1,000 of
ether and Litecoin. In December 2017. At the time, the bitcoin
price soared to a record high of 90 and a half 1000. Oh, god he
bought at the top of the market. He put that on a disclosure to
anyway, she announced this on the Van Jones CNN show.
Yes, Van Jones, which is another you know, that's why they're
well, his response was very interesting. And I just pulled a
couple of clips that I want to share. We'll start with Well,
the obvious question is why? Because she was a congress. She
was the representative for Ha ha ha. And she left her reelection
campaign to go to be deployed to Iraq and Van Astra, why
you are sitting in office, you could have gone off to do
something else. You decide to quit and go put yourself in a
war zone once you do that.
You're right. I mean, being a state representative in Hawaii,
being with my family, being with my friends. It was something
that I would have been very happy to continue to do. But I
knew that there was no way that I could stay home and be safe
and comfortable. While my brothers and sisters went off to
war on the other side of the planet. That's why I left my
reelection campaign, volunteer to deploy got trained in a job
that they needed someone to fill and and went to, to serve with
them to serve our country.
sketchy.
I believe that to be true,
I believe that she wasn't gonna get reelected
maybe I think she's very sincere. But the problem is, she
has all of the elements to be in the to contend in the BETO
League. If she could even nod her she has no social media
skills that I can tell. You know, she's like, she's a
surfer. She's an Army vet. She's cute. If she would play that up
you know, like BAM she's on the surfboard. Mahalo bitches want
to run your country, you know, she could do so much and they
wouldn't bite get on Instagram.
She's not gonna go that route. There's no doubt about that for
one Just a couple of her downsides, one, she's a Hindu.
And that is not going to help getting elected as president
until people can maybe see things a little differently even
though we have other Hindus, and I think most of them tend to be
Republicans that are in office. You think
it's too early for a non Christian President? Yes. Well,
what about Obama? Then?
The second? Well, he, he faked it. Okay. Yes, as everyone
knows, I think he's a Muslim.
By the way, can I can I? Can I just correct you? Can I just
correct you? She you never say she's a Hindu? You say? She just
happens to be Hindu?
Yeah, I think it might be Hindi. The point is the the real one
that's got my attention is that she's on the Council of Foreign
Relations. Oh, there's more than this that work for her.
Let's listen to her announcement with van. But in particular,
please listen to Van Jones. Now, this was softball all the way it
was set up. He's setting her up for everything, setting her up
with questions. It's a very friendly show. I could go on
that show. And I would not make a fool of myself, but then
really has an agenda that
brings me right back to where I want to go, which is about 2020.
Are you gonna run for President of the United States and do
something about it? Thank you
I have decided to run and we'll be making a formal announcement
within the next week. Whoa.
Do you hear that douche? I got the ratings. She just announced
that she's going to up end her life to run as a candidate for
President of the United States and Van Jones. Just think I got
Ray Dangs
Yeah, he's a douche. He doesn't have ratings, and she should
have done it on on any other show. Especially, you know,
Jimmy Fallon or something. I want to hear genies agent
got the readings, got the writings.
Here's what she's up to. I believe. Everyone knows that
you're not going to 2020 Thing is, she's going to go to Hillary
or it's going to be very difficult to beat Trump unless
they, you know, put so much bad thoughts in the American
public's mind that they can actually get somebody in and it
is possible. I mean, there are these one termers, that come and
go, tend to be the George Bush, it has to be it has to be
something to do with the economy. If the economy has a
nice collapse just before the election. It's it's getting a
little late for the kind of economic collapse, but it could
still, there's still time. We're still hopeful. But the idea,
well, I'm not sure that but the idea is, is that you want to get
your name out there to the point where you can give a major
speech, Obama like at the Democratic convention. And it
has to be well written by a bunch of pros is what Obama did.
Four years before he got into 2004. Democratic Convention, he
gave this wonderful speech. And when I saw him do that, I said,
this guy,
everybody knew it. Everybody saw it, everybody knew it. Everyone
who's who has a brain. He also was, you know, that was the
first year they had bloggers at the convention. And he sat down
with every single one of them
is the smartest one. Well, she's hoping to get a spot to give the
super speech and maybe get that kind of attention because
everyone's going to look for it. That's what you're looking for.
You're looking for. We're all looking at 2024 2020 Nobody
cares. Hillary may run again. And I think she still has the
upper hand. But in 2024, you're going to have a couple of major
people that want to run.
Well, you know, each one of them, you know, it would be AOC.
Who should be doing the
AOC is too stupid. Gavin Newsom is the guy that keeps
Gavin Newsom. The
problem is Gavin Newsom is so white. Yeah, that he's got a
problem. He doesn't even know it. I mean, Gavin Newsom has
been setting himself up since he was a kind of just a guy in San
Francisco, going you know, running for city council running
for mayor get the mayor's job and, and he's a good looking,
you know, kind of guy that has a certain attraction to certain
kinds of women. Big smile. He always says the right things get
slightly gravelly voice. And he we used to do nothing but he's
that's fine by most people's standards. He just wants
somebody and there's rubber stamps the Democrat side. But
he's white, and the Democrats have created a situation for
themselves. Well, he
has taken one social justice warrior step in the right
direction by claiming he He does not have a first lady he as a
first partner.
Yes. Well, he's does stuff like that. He's also the one night we
had the clip the other day of him, you know, giving away the
store. He's making mistakes. These are mistakes.
Let me play the largest the final clip I have on Tulsi
Gabbard and this is about running against President Trump.
So how would you take on a Donald Trump? I mean, you seem
kind of aloha. And he seems kind of aloha. Trying to Allah which
Oh Ha.
He's not trying to elope with your heart. That's so worthy.
Now that think about it.
So how would you take on a Donald Trump I mean, you seem
kind of aloha. And he seems kind of a low. Trying to low which Oh
Ha,
Aloha. Aloha, which essentially means love, love for each other.
Love for our country. Should not be mistaken for just some
feeling. Love is action. When you love someone, you will do
anything to fight for them. When you love something, you will go
to the end of the earth to fight for it. Love gives us strength
love gives us courage. Love gives our speech what we need to
overcome those forces of dark. What did you say?
You're listening to part of her speech for the convention? Oh,
yes. And here comes she's woodshedding some stuff here.
Oh, yeah. And she's gonna finish it up. But you're so just now
that you say this? Absolutely. She's going to finish it with a
Martin Luther King quote, which Van Jones does not know is
one of my favorite quotes is from Dr. Martin Luther King. And
you know this where he says Darkness cannot drive out
darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only
love can do that.
Van jump in there thought the quote was over. It doesn't know
Martin Luther King. Ah, sorry, excuse for a black man Van
Jones.
Good catch.
But you're right that she's doing her speech right there.
Well,
she's working on it. This is a bits of it is testing this is
the market. This is testing you on these shows you test a little
bit, see what the reaction is. Start putting it together. Then
he gets some professionals in there to help if she does that.
I think she won't. I don't think she has the chops to do that.
But she gets some pros. And they're superstars. Like, like,
like Obama had that kid who is a genius. The writer and that
writer kid and is that
is that the same kid who's on the pod save America is that him
thinks
it could be him that guy. And then you you knock them down at
the convention. But you know, then first there's two problems
when you gotta get a primetime slot, which is not that easy,
especially since you know, you're already seen as a schmuck
by the party. And it's gonna be tough. She died down 68 as much
of a prayer of getting anywhere. She really
doesn't as much. I guess, what was more interest or just as
interesting to me is how appropriate and really good she
was four or five years ago, she she could go somewhere. You
know, she's she's anti war. PFC was the Democratic Party hates
her because she went to see Trump pretty quickly after he
took office to talk about getting out of Syria. And of
course, she's seen as an Assad lover. She's really the grilling
her or just roasting her? Yeah, man. On the other hand, she also
did support sending half a half a billion dollars and troops to
the to Africa to fight Ebola. So she's kind of on my shitless. I
do have an update on that. Now you'll recall that to troops
went to the Congo for Ebola, Ebola, I guess is no longer
issue. We don't hear about it anymore. In fact, before the
election, people were wrecking the Ebola camps, which seems
like a really smart thing to do. You know, if you really pissed
off by your government to go kick down the tents where people
with Ebola are lying down. In less maybe they didn't have
Ebola, I don't know. And we had the Hsuan guy who works for
Exxon Mobil. I'm now thinking that he might this may be a US
EU war. And I'll tell you why. Fiala for Ula, whatever his name
is the guy who came in runner up. There was Exxon Mobil. He
was tipped to be the guy we hadn't even heard of the guy who
won the election, who was just the son of some radical back in
the day who was in Brussels, the most recent part of his life
doing quote, odd jobs as an African and Brussels does. And
so now this, this, this no name guy who does have historical
ties to the to the regime that is leaving now He all of a
sudden wins the election. This does not sit well with Africa
today, Thomas,
you are outside that court today a short while ago when Fula went
in to demand the recount, and he managed to catch a few words
with him. What does he have to say?
You told me when he arrived, that this election is the
people's victory, and that it cannot be taken away from the
people just because of negotiations between the
government and Felix chickadee because this is what Martin
Fowler you knew. That feeling of security was given the
presidency because he negotiated a power sharing deal with the
current government. The whole morning on Saturday, Martin
values lawyers, were at the Constitutional Court in order to
bring all the necessary documents to file the appeal.
And among these documents, there are the recounts from every
polling station, according to to mark down for you and his team
of witnesses that were deployed in the field on the day.
So come this clip has one other piece of information. So what
the accusation here is, is that this this guy came in he made a
deal with the with the pretty much dictator who's been raining
there for what is now 13 years, I think, who was clearly our
guy. I mean, I think that is you can't tell me that's the that's
the the Chinese are doing this. Now. This has got to be our guy
in our guy in and you know, everything seems to be
reasonably calm. But what's really interesting i It's a
little hard to hear is he goes on to say that in the in the in
the Senate or their parliament. The guy who won has, like, won
like 20% of the seats. Like the guy who came in second, his
party has majority seats. So it's all screwed up. Not that we
didn't expect anything different. Well, yeah, but now I
just want I'm just trying to figure out who's running who?
Well, we'll find out shortly or they're gonna let this simmer
for a while. We'll see there's a more troops going over. I want
to make a correction of the timeline of the Tulsi Gabbard
story. They when they're talking about her not running for
reelection, they're talking about when she was in the House
of Representatives of Hawaii in 2000 was not
a not a US Congress. It was state Congress.
So she was she quit there and then she went to the battlefield
then she came back and ran for Congress, US Congress and she's
been there ever since 2013. And she's still there. Okay.
Thanks for clearing that up. My head was in the Congo.
Yeah, apparently. Well with that you got to Ebola
there's no Ebola Ebola is just nothing is like this off the
map. It's not important to the
strict Was it some guy from Sweden somehow? Yeah, bola and
yeah, I
have the story here. I mean, that may be a way I mean, if
it's EU Right, right. If it's EU us maybe that's their way oh,
you know this Ebola maybe gotta send somebody in although Europe
is not supposed to have any kind of army. A patient in Sweden has
been admitted to hospital with a suspected case of Ebola. Test
results or law test results will probably be received sometime
this evening is yesterday. The patients being treated at the
infectious disease clinic no other details rumor at this
point. And but it does say final line and Ebola outbreak ravaging
eastern states of Democratic Republic of Congo has claimed
several 100 lives. So So there's one story trying to bring Ebola
back into purview. And as we'll see, we'll see but with that, I
do want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
to the man who put the seat in DRC John
you already knew Mr. Adam curry in the morning all substances

producers we've seen what is wrong with the model and we've
incorporated it into our value for value model and we
appreciate so much that people are helping us and we'll be
thinking more people $50 and above in our second segment

really horrible must be must be horrible when you know people
are thinking these things.
I think she's probably think there's probably more people
like in her than not.
So we had a couple of funny things happen one is this
there's the Sanders clinic at the Sanders campaign sexual
harassment you hear about this now? I'm
completely oblivious. Is this a me too moment or what are we
kind of but Sanders? Well, now it's time for your sexual
harassment. To do it and do it right. We got jingle for Okay,
any more leading necessary setup.
Now, it's just a straight up story.
Senator Bernie Sanders apologized Thursday to women who
have come forward to say they were sexually harassed or
discriminated against by male staffers while working on his
2016 campaign. The accusations surfaced after more than two
dozen staffers penned a letter to Sanders requesting a meeting
to discuss sexual violence and harassment on the 2016 campaign
in the run up to the 2020 election. Several of Sanders top
aides have been implicated. This is Senator Sanders speaking
Thursday.
That is part of our campaign. There were some women who are
harassed on the street. And I thank them from the bottom of my
heart for speaking out. What they experienced was absolutely
unacceptable. And certainly not what a progressive campaign or
any campaign should be about.
Another news on Sanders possible run for president his 2016
Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver has said he will not return to the
same position if Sanders decides to run for president again. But
Weaver is expected to stay on as a senior advisor.
I guess that was the guy gassing the women. He's gonna still be a
senior advisor. I don't know.
I think I did actually hear about this is where Bernie is
saying that. Well, you know, I was trying to run for president.
I didn't have time to figure out what's going going on something
like that. Well,
I think what you heard him say there is what you get forced
into saying. Yeah. Now the thing I want, I play a couple of
clips. I do have the rundown on what's really going on in the
country, which is the shutdown plus the CBS tastes the
shutdown, and they associated with Trump as his Russian agent,
which is a big scandal. Mine
this was this was a let me understand. The New York Times
broke the story. Was it the time to the post? Yes, yes, no times
the time. And they said that after Trump as president fired
FBI Director Comey seeing your min P senior officials of the
FBI whoever that is were so freaked out by that they started
to immediately look into to see if he was an an asset a Russian
spy why the term is asset which is not
quite the same wouldn't be a spy per se but it'd be an asset
Yeah, asset Yeah, he's been turned. By the way I should make
before I play this, these clips as three of them. And it's way
they got poorly planned because they kind of sold they pushed
the for some I don't know how they do this. But CBS calls a
stunt here they pull an f5 that one clip that's really bad. But
so my daughter and her fiance were in the Denver Airport
during this shutdown. I can't kick get these kids to think
like, they're like producers like producers. Yeah, like
producers, because apparently the TSA staff in total at the
airport were singing folk songs, right? I've been working on the
railroad and the only songs about not getting paid watch.
And there's any
and they've got their iPhones and everything and they did not
record it.
Hello. Oh, my good night gave him I gave you read him the riot
act. Ah, I can't believe it. Because it's materialized to dig
into the YouTube hits
especially since there's no was this Jay? Jay and her fiance
both Hey, you guys are living rent free right now people have
Well, you gotta pay the debate a month's rent. A participant
Yeah, it all you know, never thought of it. Oh, just. This is
so sad. It is sad. Okay. All right, let's go.
This is shutdown.
This is day 22 of the partial government shutdown now the
longest in US history. 380,000 federal employees are on
temporary layoffs. 420,000 are working without pay. TSA workers
learned today they're receiving a one time $500 Holiday bonus to
help them until their next paycheck. furloughed government
workers lined up for groceries today at a pop up Food Bank in
Alexandria, Virginia. President Trump and congressional
Democrats remain locked in a dispute over border wall
funding. The President unleashed a tweet storm today on the
shutdown and an explosive report that the FBI investigated him as
a possible Russian agent al Barnett is at the White House.
Hmm, I didn't know that they got 500 bucks bonus to go to Help
Help cross the chasm. You know,
that's CBS, as far as I know, is the only one that reported that.
That's very interesting. Was it what was it 500 cash in hand or
was it the FHA tax?
Probably a government check?
I gotta tell you, it's it's gonna come down to the wire.
It's gonna get pretty nasty now.
I expect so this is listen to the way they started handling
story, though. Just part two.
In a series of tweets this morning, President Trump
defended himself against the New York Times report, which claimed
the FBI investigated whether the President was a Russian asset or
potential threat against American security after he fired
FBI Director James Comey in May of 2017. CBS News has not
independently confirmed that report.
Wait, we're still talking about the shutdown?
If they put the two stories together, wow.
I was going to fire Comey my decision.
But the New York Times says it was President Trump's own public
statements connecting the Comey firing to Russia, which raised
concern among agents
when I decided to just do it. I said to myself, I said, you
know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up
story. Sure.
The President insisted today his quote, firing of James Comey was
a great day for America. absolutely ludicrous. In an
interview airing tomorrow on Face The Nation, Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo said,
I want to back up a little bit. And so you have the Trump quote,
and then it followed by him. A Pompeo quote saying absolutely
ludicrous. Ah, gosh, the way they put this together I think
is shameful. They made it sound as though Pompeo was criticizing
Trump's commentary.
Of course they did. It's BS. But what was
Wait, wait, wait, wait, let me finish. In fact, Pompeo is
discussing the idea that Trump was the net Russian acts at
asset not it's not a commentary on Trump's quote, but they put
it together so improperly, that they give you the impression if
you're just listening to it, Trump says well, he would call
me was an idiot. And the other guy says bull crap. I mean, it's
unbelievable how they did this.
I have been in editing Bay's many times when something was
edited together that may even just have come together kind of
as an accident. Like Ah, man, that's really funny. Let's just
Let's just keep that in there. Put those leads us to together.
That's great. I'm sure you've witnessed this, even if not
political, just for any horse.
Yeah, but it's this is the top. The i Yes, this happens all the
time. But in my opinion, when this is happening at a, one of
the big three networks, yeah, it's shameful that it got
money. It's another reason why we only can only go through 2020
There will be no more journalism. It's going to end
there's gonna be nothing left there'll be nothing to look good
journalism will be whoever does it.
Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story.
The President insisted today his quote firing of James Comey was
a great day for America. absolutely ludicrous. Wow. Wow.
In an interview airing tomorrow on Face The Nation, Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo said he rejects the New York Times
allegation. The idea that's
contained in the New York Times story that President Trump was a
threat to American national security is is silly on its face
and not worthy of a response. Is that unprecedented where any
intelligence agency has has done this to a president just in
office?
I don't know if it ever happening before may have been
done, but it has been kept a secret.
FBI is well known for spying on everybody and blackmailing with
sex secrets and all this stuff. So it's true. We would have
thought it was Yeah. All right. So
anyway, that was that that I wanted that clip in there for
sure. Because of this little now was great way they edited it to
make just for the subconscious effect on the poor. Watch CBS
News, surprise,
you didn't pull an ISO from it. It's so it's so so you can use
it anywhere.
Yeah, it's fact they bring it back. Keep your eye is I will
get an ISO for future use if you don't want to pull it. Finished
as the last clips got a little kicker from
the White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called The Times
claim absurd, and said Comey is a disgraced partisan hack. The
former FBI director sent this tweet today quoting President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, quote, judge me by the enemies I
have made. Now all of this leads to Special Counsel Robert
Mueller, whose team has not made any public
comment. Call me tweeted that judge me by the enemies I have
made. Yeah.
Now all of this leads to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose
team has not made any public comment. I
guess I missed it. Was it back here?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, quote, judge me by the enemies I
have made. Interesting. Now all of this leads to Special Counsel
Robert Muller, whose team has not made any public comment on
the extent of its investigation, but Muller's team has to kill
the indictment of three associates of President Trump
and the Grand Jury use to secure those indictments just received
a six month extension to keep working.
This guy's never going to finish this investigation. Explore
months minimum,
I think you may be able to explain it better than I can but
a grand jury. i It's my belief that people in America but
certainly in other countries here Grand Jury think oh, like I
saw a fox. And they really don't understand what a grand jury is,
what its power is but really what it means and and what comes
out of it and what the process is. And honestly, I'm I'm a
little fuzzy myself.
The grand jury is a special group that's put together called
the grand jury that can it can look at the idea of a grand jury
is that district attorneys in particular, have situations that
they don't really know if they should indict somebody for now
in indict explaining, you got to explain the means you're going
to be arrested and charged with a crime got it. And so the grand
jury has greater powers than then it's almost like a mock
trial. They can bring people in witnesses to discuss certain
things and they can and you have to answer to the grand jury
because it's a closed session is private, it's semi semi illegal,
but it's, it does serve a purpose. And the idea is that it
can bring forward information that the grand jury can say, We
think there's somebody this guy could be I think you can indict
this guy for this crime. Ah, okay. And then you give you hand
your verdict, Grand Jury hands on kind of a verdict or finding
the grand jury hands of finding over to the DA saying yes, you
can indict this guy, this guy, this guy, we think that you have
a case do you always door you don't have a case or this this
we could find nothing. Which is what's been going on, by
the way, is now the grand jury is something that only a
district attorney can can call into existence or
bars. I know, district attorneys, I could be wrong. So
that was pretty powerful. As far as I know, it's a district
attorney that does these grand juries. So okay, the federal
level I don't know how it works, but
they really their job is to determine if there might be if
there's a there there. And I've always heard it's all they
have to do but they are there. to pick from the public and then
one of the lib Jo's friends of mine was a grand jury member for
a long time says that intuitives thing is great. You get to hear
all this. It's all secret information is stuff that you
might not even be
Stop, stop. How can a lib Joe, also known as a journalist?
Don't you immediately get kicked off you? If I went? I'd been
asked for jury duty. I said,
Yeah, great. Duty is not the same. It's not Thank you. This
is what I'm asking. This is what I want to understand different
animal.
So how does he is he does he have buddies? How does he get on
this grand jury?
I don't know how you got on. Would you mind asking him next
time you talk to I think I know. And it was some it was mundane.
But but once
you're on it, then you're on no matter what the case is like a
club like the grand old Opry. It
tends to be about a specific situation. So it's like, you
investigate one thing. And then the grand jury gets dissolved.
And does the grand jury get paid for their time? Yeah, but
it's I think it's the same as jury pays mostly. There's a lot
of things that the granite especially in California, grand
juries have these grand juries, even David, just special kind of
person. And in some cases, you even have a badge. They give you
a badge.
And a decoder ring. Yes. You get pulled over by the car. Or you
could say, use me a grand jury member. We need this I need one
of those badges. Because it's like a really like a shield.
It's like an actual shield,
or is this star badge that once I've seen her star badges
are like a sheriff's deputy. Yeah. Is this is this in the
Constitution? This is a grand jury idea.
Now you asked me questions I can't answer. But I'm not sure
the history of the grand jury, but we could look it up and have
some knowledge about it wouldn't take much effort.
Well, I appreciate you giving a little insight because I don't
think anyone I even learned a few things. The fact that you
can you're on a grand jury just keep getting called back for
other grand jury stuff. And you're a journalist, slash live
Joe. That says a lot. I've always heard a grand jury can
indict a ham sandwich. That's that's the line I've heard. And
so I've kind of held to that.
Well, I think that's probably true if they wanted to, but most
of them do their jobs and they don't do that. I mean, otherwise
Trump would have been indicted by now.
It's really I mean, I just Okay, so he's keeping the grand jury
for another six months. So these people I sequestered the
now they just called in. It's like a job you kept to go in
every so often.
Nice. Maybe that's my exit.
grand dream or they dissolve these grand juries. Forever.
By the way, Mike, my great exit idea of butt wipes that are a
glove so you can just turn them inside out and throw them out
and not contribute to fat Berg's. Yeah. already invented.
Oh, yeah. You can get them on Amazon. Great
Minds. Great mind. Yeah.
I don't know how much I don't know how great this guy is doing
five cents. It's a buck glove. It's kind of an interesting get
you but gloves right here. But I can't believe someone came up
with my idea. Yep. But Gloves. Gloves. Yes. But gloves.
So anyway, that's that. Yeah.
So that yeah, it's just going to be never ending and keep on
going.
Yeah, that's what I would do if I was him is just like a full
it's a job as pays. Well, you get a lot of power and you get
people working for you. Taking you get your dry cleaning,
bringing the car around all that sort of thing. That's
a bring the car around. Thank you very much.
So this guy, Steve King, who we noted we talked about on the
show before he's one of the congressmen that is
Yeah. Pack Republicans, you know,
yeah, of course. He's a Republican under attack or being
a racist pig. And, and he's pretty adamant about fighting
the charges and everybody you know, they give them nothing but
grief about it. Because he supposedly defends white
supremacy when he doesn't
now why is there some issue that he's involved in that is under
attack or is delayed? This
is a new version. I want to play. I got two clips of the
same thing, but it gets a little different dimension from let's
start with Democracy Now. Steve King D and backgrounder a
key Republican lawmaker and close ally of President Trump
defended white supremacy while assailing the diversity of the
incoming lawmakers. In an interview published Thursday,
Iowa Congress member Steve King told The New York Times quote,
white nationalist white supremacist Western
civilization, how did that language become offensive? Why
did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history
and our civilization unquote. Congressmember King went on to
cry Besides the freshman class of Democratic lawmakers with its
record number of women and people of color saying, quote,
you could look over there and think the Democratic Party is no
country for white men, King said,
All right, this is a really bad this is a again, who's driving
for who's driving never ever dis defended white supremacy. And
they don't have a quote of defending white supremacy. He
was just saying that these terms. You can't even mention
them anymore. Oh, people get all over your case. You can't even
say the words. White nationalist. He says he's not a
white nationalist. But he says if you even use the word then
all of a sudden you are and that's all he's bitching about.
And he's kind of if you listen to the CBS report, which is
steve King, again, I think they least make it a little more
palatable, a little more realistic. But thereafter, this
guy for some reason,
Baker, I regret the heartburn that has poured forth upon this
Congress in this country and especially in my state.
That's as close as Iowa Congressman Steve King came to
apologizing today for comments being called up horn racist and
reckless by members of his own party. In a New York Times
interview published Thursday, the Republican lawmaker asked
white nationalist white supremacist Western
civilization. How did that language become offensive facing
a growing backlash today King took to the House floor to
explain himself
under any fair political definition. I
am simply an American nationalist, this conviction
does not make me a white nationalist or a white
supremacist.
Tonight South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, the only black
Republican in the Senate, calling out king
when I have to hit the pause button to have a conversation
about race and racism and, and polarizing comments by other
folks in my party. It makes it far more difficult for us to
sell the conservative brand and writing
in The Washington Post. Some in our party wonder why Republicans
are constantly accused of racism. It is because of our
silence when things like this are said House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi condemning King's comments to this he fit to
survive.
He said terrible things. Terrible things have been said
by other people in this administration.
I've been in a bigger fight than this one. King already has two
primary challenges, one of whom told the Des Moines Register
yesterday, I won't embarrass the state. Garrett. Hey, NBC News.
The Capitol.
Oh, so this is just a pre challenge. We're just kind of
just challenging everybody just getting pre challenge underway.
Yeah, she's, you know, these people, they better do some work
to while they're at it.
And they're not gonna do any worse and work for
us. As I was searching. I searched the Google's, which
always do during show days. Steve King under attack. Every
link now on my Google results page has a a news guard icon
next to it. Because you put that app on your Yeah, to show me if
I should even click on the link.
So in other words, the list of Google links have ever went to
the right there's a little well, there's that actually happen to
the vast
actually to the left. It's on the left. Yeah.
Right. To the right. Real. That's not that's, that's,
that's unsightly.
Yeah. So it moves the link over one spot, because the guard is
there.
About that, you get this thing? Oh, yeah, you need this. You
need this thing. Anything red is what I'd click on. What that's
what I was looking for. It
took me three pages. Let me see what some good three pages now
four pages will
have a counter. This is counterintuitive is gonna get if
I was running that that little plug in, I would definitely be
looking for the red one. So I could click on him to see what
the hell's going on there.
I'm sure they're also reporting back. I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure
publicist is building up nice little, little record of who I
am.
But you're like, well just get a VPN and then you can screw
themselves. It's actually
it's kind of nice, because Exactly. As you say, when you do
a Google search, you really want to get the red ones. So here's
my first red one page 10. The Palmer report that has a red a
red. Be careful notice on it.
Oh, what is Palmer have to say? Yesterday, we brought you the
story
of how Republican economists think of Iowa's long history of
racism and gun fanaticism posted racial attack against it's
actually seems like it's kind of anti King
is attacking him. Yes. Well, he's good. He got that one right
now. You should get a red checkmark, a green one. He's one
of the good guys. I mean, but every single other one is, is
all green.
Yeah, let's just need a yellow and an orange
for colors. Crooked media has a new icon. It is gray and it has
a dash. Oh, this website is still In the process of being
rated by news guard interesting Well, since we're talking about
forbidden words, because that's really what it is it's time to
educate ourselves just keep ourselves up to date up to speed
Oh Quran with the with the, with the kids. The the University of
California Davis has an LGBTQ i A Resource Center, which is not
correct in my opinion. I believe it is LGBTQ IA P K. But they say
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and
asexual. And there are they have a listing here of words that
hurt and why.
Well, that hurts. far as I'm concerned that moniker they're
using their acronym is is is in itself. Hurtful hurtful.
Yeah. Would you like to hear it's only it's about 15 Oh, what
do you think? Yes, words that hurt and why sometimes we say
words without realizing the impact they may have on others.
Say what you mean and mean what you say? Take time to educate
yourself about language and histories of oppression says yo
Sal,
now that would be my
emphasis. Emphasis added by me will start off with Bitch. Bitch
is
an artist in hip hop music
targets and dehumanizes women even if use towards men,
including queer and gay men. Wow, I know a lot of gay man who
call each other bitch but okay, it reinforces sexism so this is
a word that hurts and should be removed as abolished Ghetto
Ghetto describes something or someone as cheap worn out poor
dangerous et cetera
reference to guys ghetto,
you someone's ghetto. Ghetto. Yes. This is a hurtful word.
Yeah. illegal alien, hurtful,
reduces that it's just a statement of fact. But maybe he
is supposed to use instead,
let me say reduces undocumented immigrants to something less
than human fixates on isn't fixates on legal status instead
of people as individuals a search that some like a
perpetrator asserts that some people belong here more than
others do ignores political
the citizens
this is your California Davis systems you see thing asserts
that some people belong here more than others do ignores
political, social and economic factors that impact people of
color. Wow. Are all illegal aliens people of color? I don't
think so. In fact, no, I know they're not. Alright. Here's one
that I've done. I should I got Yep. No homo.
When are you You haven't done no homo now in a long time, but in
yours? You know, it's like guys, I
love you, man. I love you, bro. No homo.
Yes. And it was just a kick corn balls thing that bros like to
say
stresses the speaker's heterosexuality, masculinity and
or other traits to avoid being perceived as LGBTQ i A goes,
goes to great lengths to avoid association with anything queer.
I've you know, I've always thought of it as just some dumb
thing that people say because it's kind of funny. It was
for a while until the 80s. Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, you actually you
got away with it. What do you call AOC? What do you call her?
An idiot. An idiot. And then you call they're stupid. Any other
words? Any other words?
Stupid and idiot Am I haven't used moron but I could. Well,
here are words that are that hurts. retarded. Lame. Crazy.
And dumb. I didn't use any of those. I know you skated right
through it. Yeah. So it's okay to call someone an idiot. Yes.
Or even a moron. But you can't call them dumb. Stupid. You can
call them stupid. Stupid. You're stupid.
Another phrase that's so gay?
Yes, another late 80s phrase that's gone out of vogue. Yeah.
Core hoe or slut or hor O?
Or they do the pronunciation with a surprise.
who are who are who are. Who are I think who are maybe okay.
Yeah, who were she's uh, who were who are
bisexuality doesn't really exist people are only gay or straight.
last statement of fact in that document,
that's what that's a it's a hurtful phrase.
It's a who says that? Well,
apparently enough people to put it on list. This denies the
fluidity of sexuality with fluidity. I got lots of fluids.
I got lots of fluidity today and dismisses people's experiences
and definitions of self. People deserve the right to define
their own ideal cat blah blah blah fine. Yeah. Yeah. Well on
the other on the other side of that we have I think everyone is
really bisexual. Yeah, this is
yeah, that's the classic thing of bisexual will say
this is often meant to acknowledge the fluidity of
sexuality but
what they said that's a good thing this is a way of checking
people to see if they're you know this Come on. Is that what
you're looking for? Somebody say? Yeah, thank you, Rach.
Well, next on the list.
I never thought about it much. But I think you might be right.
You're too femme to be bisexual.
Who says that? I don't know. It must be a thing. Let's be some
other Come on.
Bisexual people just want straight privilege. I've never
heard this. Oh, wait, what? Yeah, this is a hurtful thing
and people say it apparently. But check it out. Here's the
next one. This is my favorite. Bisexual people are just greedy
and want to have sex with everyone. This is the University
of California Davis publishing let's the farmers up there.
Okay, now we get into some other things. Who do you see yourself
ending up with?
This is this isn't the same stupid book yet. It's not a
blind watch. Somebody from Davis has sent me a copy of this book,
not a book and a book just Online
Resource Center. This is another way of implying one has to quote
end up gay or straight and ignores bisexuality as an
identity. This is an issue who is bisexual wrote this isn't
Yeah, the big problem. Okay, so then we have people
like this writing that agenda.
Then we have tranny. I would never say that. Oh, interesting
though our our official transsexuals of the show call
themselves trainees but
they don't mind us saying it. You just don't like doing it.
This is my favorite. What is your real name? I mean, the one
you were given at birth? This is of course
any douchebag would say no.
You're not allowed to say he she doesn't hyphenated if you don't
know because you should find out before you use it.
Course. Yes. I guess it's impractical.
There's a lot of horrible things that won't even say this is my
favorite thought. That's a big one these days. But T H O T
thought was that mean? Thought is an acronym? That Hoare over
there? Thought Yeah. This has only come up recently when
you're saying that word. Well, you say look at her the thought
that horror over there. I've never heard this is a big thing
right now. It's where our online Austin no and online. Let me
tell you what's going on. There our entire groups of people who
are reporting sex workers, webcam, girls, other things like
that. And it's called a thought some says like they the girls
alone, they report them to the IRS.
Why they don't make enough money that the IRS should care. It's
called
the thought audit and do but yeah. Just telling you. You also
can't use the word ugly anymore.
Even if somebody is ugly. How about but ugly? Is that better?
Doesn't say and this one has this is AOC needs to cut this
out, you guys. She says that a lot. You guys. All right, you
guys. And this is a no no because it erases the identities
of people who are in the room, generalizing a group of people
to be masculine. Oh, wrong.
They said all the time to women.
Yeah, it was wrong. And finally, I'm such a fat ass right now. So
you can't say that about yourself? Because
if you're a big fat as the guy from Cincinnati, he called he
says he's a fat guy from Cincinnati. Sir Colin the
friendly fat man from Cincinnati.
You can't say you know, give him his money back.
Ah, well, we're gonna go that far.
it demeans in and devalued fatness and fat bodies
reinforces harmful assumptions that fat people are gluttonous
and are fat because they have restraints.
Every Cincinnati the friendly fed guy does it reinforced the
fact that fat men are friendly or jolly?
It implies there is such an acceptable amount of food to eat
and anything more is disgusting. Or that enjoy
apply any of such thing.
Well, this is what's being taught in collage. This is
what's going on in colleges.
I'm sure that's not the worst case scenario.
No. Well, you're up to date.
Thank you. Yeah, I mean, this is very one of those rare no agenda
reports we often do that really keep people on Deep on the on
the positive tip on the cutting edge cutting cutting edge of
culture.
All right? Well, while you're on the cutting edge of culture, let
me tell you, where as we're all aghast about the Chinese social
score, and everyone's flipping out about it no more like even
Hillary Clinton referred to a dystopian future, meanwhile, is
just building here in the most beautiful way. We have a control
system like that. It's called your FICO score. Oh, yeah. And
it won't be long until you can wear a little badge that has
your score on it. I hear this Congress panic this combo all
the time people talking about what's your FICO score. Now it
happens to be that the keeper has some outrageous score of
like 886 which, you know, she's very reluctant to actually marry
me because she knows what's gonna happen.
Yeah, cuz she's gonna get sanctioned. FICO is gonna get
tank slammed,
to get tanked all the way down to 500 or something a little
close to the mic. You got hot flashes.
But think of it as the credit.
There may be help on the horizon. For me, people like me
who have I have not looked recently, but I'm sure it's
really bad. I've never cared. My FICO score, it looks like
they're going to help out. You can get a boost, you can get a
boost as much as maybe 100 Point boost. So naturally, we're all
interested because for those who don't know what this credit
worthiness report, this FICO does number lets people know if
you should, if you can rent an apartment, even if you have the
money, is that just kind of well, you have kind of a low
FICO score. You may have the money, but I don't know. You
know, there's rumor that some people look at it in hiring and
jobs, it's become this important.
There's documentation for this.
So it's very important to slave Well, if
you think of it as the credit catch 22 In order to borrow
money, you need a good credit score. But to get a high number,
you have to show a solid credit history. With that in mind
Experian, one of the three major credit reporting companies is
piloting a program called Experian boost. The premise is
simple. If you're willing to share more of your personal
information, you may see an immediate increase to your
credit score. Consumers who opt into the program allow
experience to access their bank account and track utility or
phone payments, that data is added to their credit file and
then they get an updated score experiences scores rose for two
out of three consumers participating in its pilot
phase, and 10% of those with a so called thin file had enough
credit history to be given a score for the first time. Now
there's another program expected to be rolled out this summer
called Ultra FICO as a partnership between Experian,
the FinTech firm, Felicity and FICO, the credit scoring
company, consumers again must opt in to allow access to their
savings and checking accounts, their balances will then be
monitored to see how they manage cash flow to pay their bills and
all of this to calculate a new and possibly higher Ultra FICO
score. Now that's good news for many consumers and lenders to
who will be able to draw from a larger pool now of potential
borrowers.
It's great news, just let them access your bank accounts. They
can see how you're doing. It'll give you a little graph, little
charts like oh, do a little better pay on time. You can do
it. Come on, leaders little engineer, Could you could you
could you could you could you Wow, this is your dystopian
future. This is where it all right. This is what's
disgusting. Yeah. And CNBC is God about it.
Oh, no, they're all Yeah.
Yeah, Jennifer, thank
DIDs. Great. I can't wait. Do they have one critical thinker
at CNBC? Ever that can maybe say Yeah, maybe? Yes,
they do. Yes, they do. Oh, good. Jim Cramer. Wow. Listen, there
is another product idea in here somewhere. I mean, you've seen
the Black Mirror episode where you can look at some of his
augmented reality, we can see someone score above their head.
You know, I think that there's there's a way for us to create
some kind of app or something. Yes, I agree is that that takes
your foot your ultra FICO score, your Experian boost Ultra FICO
score, and then moves you from your thin file. And then you can
add stuff to it. Now just taking how many likes you have on
Twitter and just you know, average it out and give someone
a score higher or lower. And we just need to claim a FICO. It's
just commercial commercial company who started this
business and now they're like the government standard of
worthiness as a citizen. Yeah, we can go on top of that. We
just need to brand it right we can have a better score that
incorporates the FICO score. It was something that I think like
if you allow if you show sideboob is this. If you're shy,
so sideboob you get extra points. on your Instagram.
This is where we go off.
I'm sorry, I'll stop
loud. I was trying to do something.
Right. Right cloud it was, it was a reputational score.
Yeah, reputational score, but they couldn't really get that
for some reason. One of the reasons was people like myself
wouldn't join. And I'm not just saying I had anything to do with
that, but lots of people wouldn't join, because it's
like, who cares what they what my Klout score is? I mean, how
hard up are you for self esteem? You have to work get a clear
high Klout score. It was cloud if it could be
institutionalized, which is what you're suggesting, as opposed to
being just some guess. Yeah. checked in at the McDonald's
kind of thing, which is junk? Well, it was
it was cloud with a K, which apparently was purchased by
lithium technologies. And they shut it down. So I don't I
haven't looked into lithium. Whether doing there was
possibility that GDP PR may have played into clouds downfall, and
this was pretty recent. When did this happen? This year? Oh, they
just folded, interesting, just folded. Well, they they appear
to have only done like, Oh, here's what you mentioned on
Twitter, Facebook and Google, but I think he should be you
know, how many for how many pictures are in how many
pictures of friends? Are you also in the picture? You know,
that's
that? I mean, that would be I would I would agree with that.
Plus, so
you got a plus for that. It's got to be a little more.
I think the way they make it work, because nobody really
cares about what I'm just about to say. It should be a little
more spooky. Spooky. Yeah, like spy ish. It's like CIA stuff.
Right? What you just said is how many times are you in the
picture somebody else took? Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah,
that's why I said that's spooky. That's great. You need to be
more spooky. You need to have more ideas that are spooky,
spooky ish, right stuff that that way you build the company
up and you got some of these algorithms that come with some
algos that do this searching it goes through the Flickr pictures
all the rest? And then you knew then that one of these
operations by Asia?
We Yes, we needed your hands. Yeah, we need a name for it
though. If we if we have the right acronym or the right name,
I think we could build it we keep score. The one creep score
creep score. No, keep working on a John is if we did it with a K
and we could come up with a great free score your score.
Yeah, that might be okay. But it's too confusing. We want it
to be something aspirational that people realize
you're right. Keep score is negative has to be aspirational.
I think is some good. Okay, well, we're gonna do it.
I'm gonna show my school by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
and we do have a few people to thank for show 1103 None of them
creeped, by the way.
That was about value score. Something like that.
I see. There's already a value score out there. Okay. Robert

much our group of well wishers and produces for show 1103 Want
to thank each and every one of them and those who donate lesser
amounts for supporting this particular episode.
Yes, and thank you so much. Because of our model, the way we
work this show that it is completely supported by the
people who enjoy the program, but you're really producing it.
That's why you're all known as producers. We don't have to deal
with such things. As you know, giving our audience members a
flu shot like happened on the Golden Globe Awards. You know,
that's, that's the that's what Rite Aid had to do. By the way,
irony of Rite Aid sponsoring flu shots for celebrities on the
Golden Globes, the New York Stock Exchange is warning Rite
Aid, they will be delisted if their shares fall below $1. And
they're close. So maybe then it's time for the reverse split.
Yeah. All right. Maybe they need a little strategy on how they
want to advertise reverse
split. That's your that's your easy way out. Meet
Up news. So we still have the 22nd of February on Dec in Des
Moines, Iowa. I got to talk to me because I don't hear any
noise coming out of what's going on. I thought that was in in an
organization mode. Do you know anything about it other than
from me?
I don't know anything I'll ask. Maybe she she'll tell
me I sent her to producers who want to organize. Okay, well,
she's been busy. Okay, well, that's fine. That's why I'm
checking. Texas meet up. We have a date and a venue. Oh, Bull.
March 2, Saturday, March 2? Yeah, I wish it could have been
March 3, three, three, but that's a Sunday. And here's how
the
Yeah, Fridays are better but Saudis. Okay.
Well, we could do Friday. I mean, it's just the reason I'm
gonna tell you better. It's not
what we've been doing. Okay? The reason Fridays better is because
you have a bunch of people it depends on where you put this if
there's gonna be some like a long trip that I was going to
have to take them doesn't make any difference. But if it's in a
town where people work and they commute to their job, they would
like to be there already in town on Friday, and they quit work
around five Bulldog nowadays is four, but they quit work and
then come right to the event otherwise of his Saturday to go
home, and then there now there is some distance from the event
because we're not in did town anymore. They're in the suburbs
or they're someplace else. And they have to make another trip
into town, which is a lot of extra work. And a lot of you
lose, you'll lose people.
Well, it's going to be Saturday, just listening to you. You have
no idea what Austin traffic is like, yeah, you leave your job
at 5am You're going to be at a meet up not until 730. So no,
it's not going to happen on a Friday. It will be Saturday and
I will I will tell you about the venue based upon a note I
received two days ago. Adam I was turned on your podcast by
the great Americans and absolutely love it. Growing up
in Austin, the true austenite I love listening to Art Bell, the
George Gordon School of Law Alex Jones when he was still on
public access and pirate micro band FM radio right here in
town. You two guys really nail a sane fact based version of the
truths that are out there in front of all of our faces.
Austin meetup could be planned at Austin Beerworks where I work
he doesn't just work there he is the brewery ambassador. So if he
says you know if you're inclined to do it there and not only
planning one must do it so I had a back and forth with them. So
they're very happy to host us they can they the Austin
Beerworks has a 250 person capacity. He says he just like a
heads up more or less how many people are coming so they can
staff appropriately and they will also bring in a food truck
for us. And if the weather holds up the patio is very nice and
shaded allows for more room to mill around and this is Ross
Reynolds the brewery ambassador at Austin beer works and looks
like we're going to this March 2 Okay and this is the Texas meet
up other states more than welcome to to join
and I might get some some somebody coming in from
Louisiana maybe or
oh I think we got Arkansas I think we have Arkansas Oklahoma
yeah probably some people crossing the Rio Grande
yeah excuse of Mexicans it's a Mexican listeners.
Well I'm very excited about it and it's perfect timing because
we're back from the from Des Moines is also before South by
Southwest it's all it's a it's a good time to do this. And we
will be sending out emails soon to Texas and states in the
surrounding area. So everyone is reminded of this and it'll also
go on meetup.com and it's going to be good it's the big Texas
meet me some jingles.
Yeah. This is the long debate the long awaited a
long long array long awaited, always underrated Texas meetup
March 2, Austin, Texas, Austin Vir

your brothers and sisters again and some of them nice day though
the title.
Titles are a change in That's right, everybody. We've got
Vikon Jeff gerloff He becomes sir Jeff gerloff by Count of
Utopia, and Sir Mark Millman moves up to barony. And we
appreciate your support as well. Thank you so much. We'll put all
that in the show notes at na shownotes.com Holy crap they was
so short this donation segment. Why was normally we're 20
minutes later in the program than we are right now.
Oh, yeah. It's a good time to be not. Yeah, it's fine. What else
we got to talk about though? Oh, I
have lots to talk about. Okay. Well, let's talk about it. Okay.
How about act nine?
Okay, nine buffaloed. Again
is G lead Jong Il as you lead this, you're on the yellow
vests,
the yellow yellows. That's right.
It is now x nine, so nine weekends in a row,
as many as 80,000 police officers will be deployed across
France this weekend, as the authorities prepare for the
ninth week of the yellow vest protests.
By the way, I keep saying the next show is Sunday. But it's
Thursday. Today Sunday. I am so confused.
5000 police are expected in Paris alone for the Malaysian
movement, which was first created to oppose a planned fuel
tax rise, but grew into a pro notice
how they your own news just kind of skipped over the carbon tax
was just a fuel tax. It
was created to oppose a planned fuel tax rise, but grew into a
protest about inequality and spending power. The
demonstrators carried a range of placards, including one that
called on President Emmanuel Macron to either give in or step
down. This was the demands are quite simple. And the answers
are either violent or strict. This demonstrator says when
there is real recognition that we're here in the streets and
Macron acknowledges this in the media, then maybe we'll make
some progress. France has struggles to contain the
movements in part because it has no apparent leader nor is it
affiliated to a political party or a trade union, making
negotiations rather difficult. The past weeks have seen
violence on the streets, but some Judo Xian have put the
blame for that on far left and far right groups.
Fantastic how now they say that the protesters themselves are
saying the violence is coming from far left and far right.
Which in fact was what President McCrone said he's the one that
started that. Yeah, these guys man,
this whole French thing. I mean, he's French
are they think they think that they're going to negotiate No,
this this will not end the French, the French, it can only
be government down it ends when your head is lopped off?
Yeah. That's where they're always that's what the end.
Yeah, that's their target always. That's
their end game is to quit. Ooh, I don't see that happening. I
don't
either but he has to or this is going to continue.
Article 13 of the EU copyright reform law. Now a new year new
round new chances. Looks like we're going for a January 21
finalization you'll remember this John, this was being
discussed, primarily article 13, as it would basically prohibit
any copyrighted work from being used anywhere without direct
attribution payment and all kinds of stuff and seems like an
another attack on Fair Use and nightmare. It's an attack on
fair use. Well, negotiators currently have reached an
agreement on the core of article 13. They still want to make
internet platforms directly liable for copyright
infringement. So this is going to be a tough one for the social
nets and the Googles. Here's the timeline. This week 18th. The
national governments will vote on the council's position ahead
of the final negotiation. This is how this if I can just use
the words how fucked up the EU is. So we're talking about
something that is completely unenforceable will ruin
commerce, then the EU like yes, hopefully will ruin social
media. So I don't want to say it's a bad thing. But here's how
it works. national governments vote on the council's position
ahead of the final negotiation. This is the moment of truth for
EU member state governments. Will Italy keep its promise to
vote against it? Will Germany say yeah, we're against it, or
we'll go forward as long as small businesses are excluded.
Poland up in the air. So that's the 18th. That's just before the
final on
who's behind this that anybody wants it in the first place?
What is wrong with the current copyright that we have? The
copyright the very liberal copyright laws that we have,
where you maintain a copyright for 150 years after your death?
I don't know who wants this? Disney
probably probably January 21st. Then we will see the trade log
negotiations between parliament and council which is an attempt
to finalize the text. Then March April timeframe final vote in
the council that Starfleet Command unknown unelected
people, march 25 28th, but more likely mid April, they'll have
the final vote in the European Parliament. So here's the
current status article 13. applies to internet platforms
that organize and promote large amounts of copy, right protected
works uploaded by their users in order to make a profit. So that
is, let's see, what are they saying here? copy protection is
not mean copyright infringing. This is what they're arguing
about. The art. I think it's coming. It's coming down to
semantics and words, copyright protected, not the same as
copyright infringing all creative text photos, of course,
everything's automatically copyrighted, more or less. Yes.
So there's going to be this, this distinction of copy
protected versus copy and copyright copyright protected
versus copyright infringing? See, it's still about who will
be liable for it. And if the social if the social media
networks can demonstrate that they are doing everything they
can to deploy the strictest possible upload filters. This is
never going to work.
No, that's not going to work. But what is the real target
here? Are they worried about people, you know, re reproducing
a photo and AP photo on their Facebook feed? Now? Are they
worried about downloading a nude latest new new movie?
I actually think it's more about we're seeing politicians now in
the US who have figured it out that the old system of
politicians and news news corporations working together,
and to determine policy to set the mood to set to set the tone
the narrative. The in Europe, they still haven't really not in
the states either. But we haven't figured it out that that
way of doing things is over. They're still operating on the
premise of well, if we can control the news, and make sure
there's no fake news, and people aren't using, you know, stuff to
create fake news out of other news, then we can control the
news help our news friends, that only the good news gets out. To
me it feels something like that. You're thinking it's more Disney
like
generally speaking, if anything gets this far, it has to have
Disney like characteristics, meaning some, you know,
otherwise, it wouldn't get this far. I mean, just a bunch of
lamebrains from the news media, they can't come up with a scheme
like you just described.
Well, they already have this, you know, the copyrighted works
and YouTube and they have things in place. So it's I don't think
they're re litigating that.
There's something else going on here. We have to look into this.
Somebody out there knows that we have lawyers what it's really
really about now somebody knows what's going on with the
stupidity.
Well, it's protection of something because everything
they do is either to protect some brand of cheese, you know,
some soap is nice. So if you look at you know, the
agreements, was it the big TPP agreement, you know, whatever is
public
bio is to protect a pharmaceutical company.
Exactly. To protect what kind of drugs we got. It's not about you
stupid slay is
to protect the prices of drugs as a scam. Yeah, exactly. So
there's something scam ish about this, but we don't specifically
find out or open up a huge door of information and we'll see
what the hell's going on. Austin the only ones by the way,
Austin announces yet another new dockless mobility solution.
Oh God now what? Yeah,
let's see what the name of this outfit is. Oh, Joe. Oh, J Oh,
Joe. Joe electric announced Austin will be the launch of its
first sit down scooter service.
Got to really look stupid. Oh, there
you know what I would say if it wasn't spell it. Oh Jay. Oh,
electric. If I wasn't if I didn't learn right now to say to
not be able to say this. I would say these scooters look so gay.
But I'm not allowed to say I'd say that Vesper asking design
the light electric vehicles hit speeds of
commuter scooter by ojo electric
Look at this. How many are there deploying? We don't we already
have. Was it 9000 Scooters God knows how many bikes looks
like it looks like a moped it you know what it looks like? It
looks like a vest but with no motor.
Yeah, that's yeah, it does look like a Best Buy and it has a
little box on the back that you can put you
don't go on down the street with this dangerous little guy can't
get probably if he gets to 25 miles an Howard be a mirror
No 20 The only 20 is Austin regulation 20 miles an hour but
as the cool little little box in the back you can put your dog in
there.
This is a Yeah little basket Scott basket. What am I hearing
is I don't want to say well,
what am I hearing there? John? What's going on?
I'm playing the video. Oh, okay. I understand. Kill it kill it.
Usually you can't hear it. Motion alarm set. I turned off
the sound wireless key Fabu 25 mile range. Yo, brother top
speed 20 You're right. That is the top speed it's a piece of
crap.
Yeah. And just more shit on the sidewalk.
Yeah, well, they're the people are taking it on their yacht.
What they're doing they took their digital drive to their
yacht and threw it in the back.
Meanwhile, something and I although people are getting
hurt, and I don't like to see that something, get hurt with
all these things. Something beautiful is happening in
Switzerland. The lime scooters all received a software update
which is an over the air update. And I'll read the headline, lime
halt scooter service in Switzerland after possible
software glitch throws users off mid ride. Yes. Here's what
happens. So you're riding along at 20 miles an hour and then all
of a sudden it's anti-theft kicks in which blocks the whole
thing up and you go ASOs Yeah, boom this is the way to do it.
We got to get into their updates can you imagine you hit it and
it goes backwards there's all kinds of cool stuff we could do.
I don't want people getting hurt but here's
another one that right after this ran off to YouTube another
one called the Zhao me me electric scooter review by some
build millennial who's got like you know, he's got the whole got
the throat beard. He's got the whole scruffy look to him is now
he's going on and on mostly promoting himself but he's going
to eventually review a scooter. I don't think we need this.
In the cities of Basel and Zurich. scooters have been taken
off the road for safety checks after multiple ports of people
injuring themselves after their scooters braked abruptly while
in use the company sent out a notice to uterus presented in
screenshots below in German the fall Okay, now it currently is
investigating whether the malfunction is due to a software
fault where an update of the software causes a scooter
inadvertently to reboot during a ride thus engaging the anti
theft immobilization system but if you've been thrown off they
will give you a 15 minute credit
Why did you give me a doctor's appointment and all injuries
fixed get killed
this is this is this shit show is just starting this. It's
really funny though. And we get these I looked at that the the
the article about the the vest per scooter was it the Ojo look
at that anyone knew if you're listening, go look at the show
notes when they're up in a show notes.com And you can see this
map of where all these things are deployed. It's really a
small area of downtown where they're just flooding the place.
And we walk on the street it's just everywhere. This thing's
things laying around scooters bikes. Now these Vespas Yeah,
people don't give a shit about God.
Alright, let's go listen to Maduro out of Venezuela, get a
little update on him or hear him speaking a little bit and he's
blaming everything on Trump going this way. It is so central
Venezuela is the center of a World War of US imperialism and
its allied governments and they have tried to turn this formal,
legal, constitutional and peaceful ceremony into a world
war against our country.
The US and its allies have refused to recognize Maduro US
presidency calling last year's election illegitimate other
Latin American leaders including Eva Morales of Bolivia, Danielle
Ortega of Nicaragua and Miguel Diaz canal of Cuba welcome
Maduro is re election and joined Thursday's inauguration in
Caracas. The Trump administration's continued to
ratchet up sanctions against Venezuela even as its economy
faces hyperinflation with severe shortages of food and medicine.
About 3 million Venezuelans have left the country in recent years
with many settling in Colombia and Brazil.
Yeah, it's just going down the tubes. Like she kind of sides
with this Maduro character.
Even though he's the trump of Venezuela.
No Maduro,
this is not what you said. No, no,
he's blaming Charlie.
He's blaming I'm sorry, he's blaming Trump. I was gonna say
that he's not the trump of worse.
Of course he's on board because it's We have immigration,
illegal immigrants illegal entry to say that illegal entry,
because we fucked up all the South American countries. That's
basically what that's the story right there, which is also
Trump's fault. Somehow, 40 years, 40 years 50 years of
policy is Trump's fault. That makes makes sense. Well, it also
makes sense is to flashback for a moment. The news came to us
that the brain damaged cause to employees of the end of the
United States embassy in Cuba, that that really just was
because of crickets. And it's just crickets and a note from
someone. Oh, yeah, we got notes from people who live in the
region. And I've said I've heard crickets all my life and I don't
have brain damage. That's what he says we can't prove it. Of
course, could have could have could have. But if these people
were you know, that were physically ill, and you know,
the word came out it's crickets everyone. Everyone's like, Ah,
what a joke. Wow, so glad it was just cricket wasn't some
directed energy weapon or anything. Oh, man. That's good.
I think every all the M five M are on board. Everyone is good
with it. Everyone's cool to go right. Have you seen anything
else then? Oh, wow. Jeez, we're a bunch of dopes. It was just
crickets. I'd like to just go back to the Andrea Mitchell show
on MSNBC for her reporting when this first took place, and just
recognize what she was saying and what her sources are.
The bizarre incidents beginning last October left a group of US
diplomats with severe hearing loss blamed on what one official
says could have been a surveillance device deployed
inside or outside the Americans Havana residences, which are all
owned by Cuba's government. Several US agencies, the CIA,
FBI and State Department's Diplomatic Security Service are
all investigated. We don't know exactly where this came from.
Okay. We can't blame any one individual or a country at this
point yet
An investigation is underway. We take that very seriously.
Canada also says some of its diplomats in Havana also
suffered symptoms for the SEC got they go to come in in Havana
Cuba. NEWSCASTER says the Government is investigating and
quote, Cuba has never nor would it ever allow that the Cuban
territory be used for any action against accredited diplomatic
agents or their families. So who's responsible, perhaps a
third country, some suggest possibly even Russia where there
has been a surge of harrassment and outright attacks against US
diplomats in recent years, or just a surveillance attempt gone
terribly wrong. As a former CIA veteran,
I personally think it was an accident, a surveillance
attempt. I do not think the Cubans would attack us
physically like that, especially given the timing.
The US has already expelled two Cuban diplomats from Washington
because of the unexplained illnesses in Havana. Only a
first step depending on the investigation. Andrea Mitchell,
NBC News, Washington. Oh, no. Oh, no.
So it was not the CIA. It was not any other intelligence
service. It was not the shield she brought in it was none of
those people was not the State Department who said this was
crickets. It was a bunch of jumbo folks who took a recording
from Associated Press that they say was the recording, and they
matched up the waveform look just like crickets mystery
solved. Everybody's on board. Bullshit. Disgusting.
I don't get how everybody got on board. After those early
reports. We played both of the ones that we had in the
archives. And it doesn't make any sense unless the early
reporting was completely bullcrap.
Well, it doesn't sound like it. It sounds like all of their
stuff. That's really true.
Yeah, it sounds very believable. And it was seems like they did
some work on it and even brought us a CIA shill in there who kind
of hemmed and hawed which was made with at the time. That's
what I thought he said was CIA had something to do with this
because of the way that guy reacted. But the rest of this is
crazy as being dropped. Nobody's gonna follow up on
some kind of memo went out. I was like, Okay, it's crickets
Shut up.
That's your news. That's your news.
Have you heard about this the Earth's magnetic field moving
faster than expected?
would expect to hear something like that but
well, it's starting to get a little bit of reporting. Okay,
see,
we know is just was wondering a bit
well, it always does and as an as a as an aviator lips every so
often. Yeah, but as an aviator, you often have to have your
because you have made net magnetic north and true north
and you have to have your compass adjusted when magnetic
north changes. And this happens typically At a 15 mile per hour
rate, they kind of you know, it's we have, in case you didn't
know the earth is filled with all kinds of liquid molten goo,
that is magnetic. And now it's, it's picked up its pace, and the
goo is moving at almost 50 miles an hour, pushing the actual
North Pole magnetic north pole closer to Siberia. And the only
place you really hear about this right now is people who work on
GPS 's and stuff like that, because they gotta you have to,
you have to change some of the code to take this the small
deviations into into account. But you don't think that could
change anything on like, I don't know, a global scale, do you?
Like what what are you suggesting?
I don't know, the weather will change or change the rotation?
We get another wobble or do we wobble more or
wobble or in the state? gobbly goo in the middle is getting,
you know, unbalanced. That'd be kind of interesting.
Well, that's what it seemed. Well, no one knows. Geologists
don't understand.
Nobody knows anything.
But yet climate changes. We're all in sciences in Shut up. It's
all good to go. We didn't even know what's happening inside the
Earth.
I didn't know is increasing. And yes, maybe we're ready for a
flip. I make it happen in our lifetime.
It seems unlikely. But we had a flip back thing. But we had a
flip a couple of years ago it flipped. We didn't have
a flip a couple of years ago. I thought we did in your lifetime.
Yes. That were the poles reverse was south and and South was
North. Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding you that I remember something like that.
Yeah. Pole reversal. The Poles have okay. The Poles have
reversed frequently over the history of the planet. The last
reversal See, was only 780,000 years ago. See in my lifetime?
Yeah. Well, you're an old man. Okay, so seven or 8000 years or
so it reverses Bob do what they're expecting. They don't
talk about this so much is that in the process of reversing the
poles actually does not enough influence north and south pole
that it kind of kind of shuts down before it flips. So we get
to see the aurora borealis everywhere.
Oh, not only that satellites will fall from the sky. I don't
know if Earth we'll see a geomagnetic apocalypse.
You're going what you're reading from the global warming?
No, I'm actually reading from National Geographic.
From what year
January 31 2018.
It says that the satellites are going to fall from the sky.
Well, it says that's what people think might happen. It says He
literally says we are all going to
be just because of things flipped doesn't mean gravity's
going away anytime soon. We
are all going to die eventually. But chances are that we will not
immediately perish when Earth's next geomagnetic reversal
occurs. That's their conclusion.
Okay, good.
It's here. Okay. If it happens soon, won't that be bad?
Unclear. Scientists estimate the past polar flips have been
rather sluggish with North and South migrating to opposite
positions over 1000s of years. This is both good and bad if
you're concerned about how a GMO blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, no
one knows anything. Nothing. But if we can stay with climate
change, there is something a great idea. And I'd like us to
push this idea, okay to save the world from nasty co2. And the
BBC came up with it, Roger Harrington, the BBC
environmental analyst. So we know that meat, consumption of
meat contributes largely to what do they call it a carbon
pollution? Alright, cow farts from the cow. Just the process.
Just all of this stuff. So what have people been asking us to
do?
Hold your breath. No,
no eat bugs? Oh, yeah. But of course you have people eat bugs.
You see bugs everywhere bugs on the menu. Now people have some
kind of reluctance to eating bugs. I think you and I have a
reasonably big reluctance to eating bugs, certainly to save
the Earth. We're not reptilian. But BBC has a great idea. Pet
Food manufacturers should be forced to make pet food from
bugs.
Oh, that's an interesting idea.
This is a great idea. And it kind of puts two of our favorite
memes together. Dogs are people and let them eat bugs.
But a lot of what dogs eat are byproducts. Next have the meat
industry where are those byproducts gonna go now?
Now there'll be less we'll just have less I don't know I like
the idea
feed your dog bugs definitely have trendy idea
yeah and then the dogs you know eventually they'll get all angry
and start attacking their owners
yeah that's that's your wishful thinking says
it right here National Geographic
confuse your play this is the I have a I do have a global
warming story global warming report is the latest oceans
warming
ah, climate news a major new study published in the journal
Science finds the world's oceans are absorbing heat at a far
faster rate than previously predicted. Finding with
troubling implications for the future of life on Earth. The
study found greenhouse gas emissions are warming the oceans
40% Faster than even the dire predictions made by the UN's top
climate scientists five years ago. The authors write quote,
this warming has contributed to increases in rainfall intensity,
rising sea levels, the destruction of coral reefs,
declining ocean oxygen levels and declines in ice sheets
glaciers and ice caps and the polar region.
Yes, lots of stuff happening. Tons of stuff going on there.
Flip this is me looking out the window and same thing nothing's
changed. I got I want to play a couple of more clips of this
William Arkin guy who has this new book out we do.
Yes, this is the this is the journey, the well writer,
journalist, journalist
level crap and he left you're all just a bunch of spooks.
Let's play his his take on the FBI.
Well, there's a crazy collateral damage of Donald Trump. And that
is that there are a lot of liberals in America who believe
that the CIA and the FBI is going to somehow save the
country from Donald Trump. Well, I'm sorry, I'm not a particular
fan of either the CIA or the FBI. And the FBI in particular
has a deplorable record in American society, from Martin
Luther King and the peace movements of the 1960s all the
way up through went holy and others who have been persecuted
by the FBI. And there's no real evidence that the FBI is either
is that competent of an institution to begin with, in
terms of even pursuing the person the prosecution's that
it's pursuing, but yet we lionize them. We hold them up on
a pedestal that somehow they're the truth tellers, that they're
the ones who are getting to the bottom of things. When when
there's just no evidence that that's the case.
He never wants to work again. Is that his his general? Is that
what he's looking for? I don't need work. I made plenty on my
books.
Wow, definitely goes off. I swear we heard before from other
super progressive the real left now, remember those black guys
that had they have a podcast and they were going on baffled by
the fact that all these progressives are talking about
how great the FBI is, when it's been known to be a kind of a
horrendous operation? Doing anyone any good. That's
fantastic. But you know, Jamie's still irked about the fact that
she's, you know, a stooge.
Yes, she's, she's working in student land, and she has to
listen to this guy, go tell her about herself. does not like it.
Good.
You got another one from
a guy? Yeah, that's pretty good. He's got a little thing on the
Information Society option. I thought this was kind of
interesting.
Well, there's no question that the national security
establishment has grown, and it has become far more powerful
than it ever was. But here's the change. We've shifted from the
Industrial Age to the Information Age. And
consequently, we've also shifted from the dominance of the
military industrial complex, if you will, to a much more
insidious and much more difficult to diagnose
information complex. So the advent of contractors the advent
of a professional military, which means that the military
itself that touches fewer and fewer lives in America, all of
those work together to make the national security state more and
more embedded within our society, but yet at the same
time, more difficult to get to more difficult to understand. So
most people would be surprised to learn, for instance, that
Amazon is one of the largest defense contractors that they're
building the cloud and they're building the data centers which
support the intelligence community and support the
military and there are other civilian companies that we
associate with being civilians who are also terrific
beneficiaries of the military's large Jess. So so to me to
diagnose properly where we stand today, the point of the top
secret America investigation was To show the Wild Growth of all
areas of national security, and this new invention of Homeland
Security, if you will, but at the same time to point out that
it wasn't something that was necessarily segregated from our
society, it was more and more embedded within our society. And
that that made it more more and more difficult to analyze
properly and to do something about.
Oh, I wanted to hear what Amy said to that.
She pushed him on to the next topic. She didn't say any
Oh, my Yeah, well, there it is. It's just, there will be no
news. By the time it's time to, uh, to elect a new president is
nothing. And we're riding this ship all the way to the bottom
for a ride, right, this baby all the way all the way to the
bottom, as long as we get the support to write this baby, and
we will.
Yes. And we appreciate the support we received today. And
we're twice a week now on Thursdays. So even though I said
Sunday, I meant Thursday, and it's today's Sunday. It's
expected I have an overexposure of fake news. coursing through
my veins is what causes it. Thank you all for supporting the
show. Thank you for producing and remember that we will be
back on Thursday, reimburse a divorce that org slash and I am
coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, capital of the
drone Star State and dockless mobility in the five by nine
studio and the common law condo in the morning everybody. My
name is Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where we say go chiefs go rams.
I'm John Cena borax. We'll be
back on Thursday right here on no agenda until then adios mofos
and such. Morning
Everyone is trying to figure out who the Democrats will run.
I have plenty of time to consider whether or not to run
from red. We have really qualified people have two
interesting results here. First of all, almost a third 29% said
someone else I don't know. Senator Oh, Jenna tells 13 News.
He's stepping down in order to focus on his run for president
in 2020.
George W. Bush they will said everybody said oh, he's the one
you want to have a beer wherever Yeah, he'll make a great present
because we want to get get drunk with him. And that's worse for a
woman though that whole idea. Well, I think that women are
held to a different standard. Hold on a second. I'm gonna get
me a beer.
She's now revealed that
the beer which she was sipping was a Michelob Ultra what she
calls the club soda of beers and her favorite
I have decided to run and we'll be making a formal announcements
within the next week. Whoa.
Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota she's the one that I think is
interesting to watch because she does very well in rural areas,
which is not something most Democrats can say these days
in the morning. So if my word Iran doing its independent would
work, whether he actually wants a Democrat I don't know. I know
he'd be the best person to be president your soy gun
president.
There's no video of President Trump suckin a ding dong. I
never stopped any ding dongs getting
stuck in a dang I never stopped any ding dongs getting suckered
a day thing I never stopped getting big dogs. There's no
video. President Trump thing I ever stopped getting big dogs
like to start World War Three about one I'd say golf ball
through a friggin garden I never stopped anything. MoPhO
boruch.org/in A there was a lot of squeezing
