Mueller Mueller Mueller Mueller Minar Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak, Sunday, March 31 2019. This is your award winning give
on nation media assassination episode 1125. This
is no agenda. Snap,
Crackle pop free and broadcasting live from the
capital of the drone star stayed here in downtown Austin
townhouse in the studio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
in from Northern Silicon Valley where the motorcyclists are
making a run on this sunny day. I'm John C. Devorah. Raglan
Buzzkill.
Did we miss the Zephyr?
Oh, yeah. A lot a
long shot. Oh, in the morning to you. Sorry. It was
actually on time in the morning to you. And in the morning all
the ships and sea s.
So we started a little bit late today for those on the stream.
And that is because I spent the entire weekend working on the
crackle issue. Yes, yes. We had severe crackling, which
was owned by Sony last time I looked. That's That's right.
Yeah. And let me tell you, this, as I Oh, driver business has got
to stop. So much. Someone's got to get this stuff in line and
make it work. My goodness.
But you are moaning and groaning and Jin, in trying to fix this.
You made an interesting point. Okay. What machines even have
normal? Sound IO anymore?
Well, yeah, this exactly. So what I was looking to do, I've I
had to change drivers, just so people who there are people who
are interested, because hundreds of you have mentioned this, and
I appreciate that. And if my reply was Curt, that's because
hundreds of you said it. But for some reason, I think there was a
Windows Update, and they mess something up and they publish
that, hey, maybe USB devices may not work exactly right on
anymore. And we expect to fix before the end of March 2019. I
don't know if it was that. I don't know if it was a mismatch
in could have been the fix. Miss. It could have been the
fix. Yeah, thanks. Whatever it was, I had to get off the
professional driver, which is the A S I O, which is great,
because it provides for all these channels, and you can
route stuff internally. And I had to go to the wasafi. The
WASAPI driver, which I believe is Krakow free, but then it
doesn't give you all the control you need are some programs won't
have that. And so the radio streamer wasn't working. So we
had everything finally working again. And I said well, I can
just take an output from the analog output and put it into a
different laptop and then stream it from there. But and here's
your point, what machine even the MacBook Air that I have,
which I know it's gotta be six or seven years old does not have
an OD it has an audio output, not an audio input. The
Microsoft Surface dock that I have provided gives you an an
analog audio output with no audio input. It's frustrating.
Yeah, audio input seems to be a thing of the past. Yeah. Make it
work with USB.
Well that's exactly what I did. So I took my my Surface Pro, the
surface go and I got a little mini USB audio device that's
just you know, this is no bigger than a USB plug. And then I had
to put a connector plug onto that to connect it to USB see.
Like Legos here, man. It's like Legos.
Well, mine advice, don't sneeze
and don't sneeze and don't reboot everything. Or hopefully
the hopefully the crack will be gone. That was the worst part
and it really affected you. So it's important we fix that. Now,
I need to compliment you on bringing something to the show a
couple of episodes ago which has caught fire like I did not
expect it to be true. That's it's exactly. It's exactly
right. You're sitting with me right now. That's true. produce
more than I promise true. It's true. That's true. It's true.
That's a such a true, sir. Everybody loves it's true. It's
true. Tina and I are saying it to each other all that hey, it's
true. I think maybe one or 2% of the people despise it but the
rest really like it is his well, you
are one of them. Yeah, well,
I didn't think I thought about people be annoyed by this. But I
was wrong. People love it. It's true. It's true. Isn't now
that's true. Yeah, I should probably get it sounds like it's
true. What she's saying. That's true.
Well, she that Yeah. Should be well, cuz she's talking like
this. She wants to act like a little girl. So her mom still
loves her. Yeah, it's sick about it. I think that's what the
attraction is.
That's true. Yeah, it's the way she is. says it, though. That's
that's what it is. It's true. That's true. That's true. Do you
have any more of the let's net? That's true ladies? Oh,
the only one I could have picked up. I did have it in the
original clips that was never played was the one where they're
talking to the trees in the grass, which was just which one
of our producers covered in one of the songs? Yes, yeah. In
fact, they pretty much covered the whole thing or seat sitter
did that. Yeah, Senator and so that I didn't have it. And that
was the looniest of all the things they've done, which is
this discussion. And they were discussing with the trees, the
nature of the dead trees, and whether they felt guilty about
it. It was going on and on, it was just like, it was a very
borderline completely nuts. Well, there were guys that as if
that was any different than the rest of it. Right. Exactly. No,
I think. I think we did enough with them. I mean, I'll keep
track of them. Like you never know, you never know. It might
be something coming up. That's true.
Could be could just happen. It's true. That's true. True.
Alright, so what did you find for us? I found there were a
number of things going on x it maybe, maybe, actually, do you
mind? If I start with some Brexit?
I would actually I'm looking at my list. Because I know you had
some on Brexit I don't think I don't think I have anything on
Brexit. But I think you have something on Brexit and I'm,
I've been following it. And it's becoming funnier and funnier.
And I hope that you will enlighten me. Yes, I
shall try. First. You know, so we had to I was watching since
it was all like Mueller, Mueller Mueller Mueller Mueller. I mean,
there was there's no news in America, the world could I get a
time chest, the world could be burning down. And yet, we would
not know about it in the United States of Gitmo nation. There is
no other news except Mueller. Mueller, Trump Mueller, Trump.
It's true. All of that stuff. Mueller. So I switched over to
Pluto TV scan, and through the Sky News and RT and they they
have some other international channels. And we had, of course,
the 29th, which was Friday was that Friday, a Friday was
supposed to be Brexit day, that was the big day we the UK was
going to leave. And so people had already planned on going to
London and going to the going to Parliament and protesting. It
wasn't quite as big as the EU organized, remain. Let's have a
people's vote with phony handmade signs, you know, a few
days before, but it was still 1000s of people and they were
rather perturbed, that they were not Brexit tearing on that day.
But Channel Four was amazed at what kinds of people showed up.
As we speak, there are crowds running outside Downing Street.
We just got these pictures, which were taken nearby police
recovered police talks of Charlie, the mood has changed.
We cannot confirm whether any arrests have been made. It has
been the most extraordinary day a day which is seen. I've never
seen so many white people in one place. It's an extraordinary
story.
I've never seen so many white people in one place.
I tell you many men, this is a British reporter saying
yes on Channel Four. This last bit again, I'll just play that
for you.
The most extraordinary day which I've seen, I've never seen so
many white people in one place. It's an extraordinary story.
And that's terrible. It's how we explained had never seen so many
white people that you thought it was bad here. It's all over.
This is a globalist mechanism. This calling people racists and
anti Semites and hate crimes. This is not just here. It's
everywhere. But I was fortunate enough to catch an interview
with Gerard batten who was the leader of you Kip, of course the
the the Brexit party par excellence. And he gives
actually some pretty succinct, nice little clips for us that
explain. Well, I'll start with the first one. This is a
backgrounder kind of on how we got here. And and why we're at
this point in history with Brexit.
So generally today was the day wasn't it that we were meant to
be leaving the EU? In what, two hours? 15 minutes? Do you
sometimes wonder if we'll ever leave? I don't. I do believe
that we will leave I don't believe we'll leave under the
current prime minister or the government, current government
or parliament the way it's constituted because they don't
want to leave. It's as simple as that. We've gone about this
entirely the wrong way. First of all, we should never have gone
down the article 50 roads to start with. Secondly, when
you've got a government and a prime minister and parliament
that doesn't want to leave it And then it's very difficult to
actually make it happen. That's the big problem that we had.
This was put to the British people because the political
class couldn't resolve the issue of the European Union over the
previous 43 years. So they were forced into a referendum by the
UK electoral threat, said that they would abide by the result,
everybody said that everybody who fought in the 2017 election
was certainly conservative and labour, so that they would
implement the result of the referendum. And then since then,
they've done everything they possibly can to delay it, impede
it in the hope of eventually overturning it. And that's where
we are now.
And I kind of liked that to seek summary, because it does just
take us back for a moment to say, Hey, hold on a second.
Parliament couldn't figure it out. That's why it went to the
people. Everyone promised whatever the people want, we'll
do what the people say. And people said, let's leave and
then everyone went, Oh, wait a minute. That's not right. Okay.
And then they just delayed and delayed with all these different
plans. So instead of stopping the Brexit itself, they just
came up with a problem for the the way to execute?
Well, he said something I don't know what it means. Okay. At the
very beginning, he said, I don't think we should have taken the
section 50 article 50. Whatever. Yes, it is. Yeah, article, I
guess, article, we shouldn't have taken that route. What
other route was there?
The Okay, the way I understand it, the only the only other
route is just it's a hard Brexit. You cut it, you say,
Okay, we're done. We're not paying you anything. And this is
what the EU said they would not do and their most recent
statement is have the little mini deals. So you put all these
mini deals together, which would be trade, it would be they
already have some things
50 No, no.
He says, Don't do 50 articles. Oh, what
does it mean? It means you don't have to do 50 You just quit.
Yeah,
yeah. No article 50 Just quit just hard Brexit say we're not
doing it. And because article 50 makes you pay, or as he explains
this next clip, the divorce agreement?
Well, I think what they've done is they've actually gone to to
the European Union and Mrs. Merkel and said, How can we work
with you to make sure this doesn't happen? I think that's
much more than likely what's happened if I take this divorce
analogy, which I don't accept, actually were never married to
them. So isn't a divorce, the whole thing was unlawful to
start with the what Mrs. May as a negotiated as a kind of
divorce deal where you live in the same house, you pay the
bills, you sleep in the same bed, you get joint custody of
the liabilities doesn't sound like much of a divorce to me. So
what would you if you've been an MP? What would you have done?
As prime minister? I tell you, Oh, sorry. I'd much rather play
fantasy. But I would have voted against it. Because Mrs. May
said herself many times, no deal. You would have voted
against Brexit, you would have voted against No, I would have
voted against this phony withdrawal bill.
And in this next clip, I think comes the answer to your
question about doing it without article 50
is only going to happen one way. And that's the way I described
in 2014. When I wrote a little book about this, everything I
said in that book was proved to be true about the way this has
been delayed and impeded. If you wanted to leave what you would
have done the week after the referendum, and indeed, you
would still do it now. You could repeal the 1970 Q two European
Communities Act, you can say we've now left under our law,
we'll offer your tariff free trade or WTO. Your choice, we'll
give you a reciprocal rights on citizens. We're not gonna pay
you any more money, by the way. And then we start to unravel 46
years worth of legislation, but we take control of that. And we
repeal and amend according to our priorities. And we negotiate
with the EU to say this is how it's gonna happen. We want trade
friendship and cooperation, but we set the pace not yours.
Yeah, that's how sovereign nations do it. Yeah. You're a
sovereign, sovereign nation that if you're a vassal, yeah, well,
they are. They are. It's so obvious. And it just becomes
painfully obvious. None of those people actually want to exit the
European Union. In Parliament.
It was watching I didn't make a clip of it. I could have. It was
because it was kind of dated. I think it came from the March 20,
which was Faraj with the Prime Minister of Denmark, that woman,
that Obama Oh,
yeah. The cute one that Obama was sucking up to? Yeah.
And she would they argued a bit about one thing or another, but
she throws in well, with the way we all voted for it. We as and
she made a real point of saying this. We as individual sovereign
nations, yeah. Right. And I was and it was so apparent that
that's, you know, it was just like, wishful thinking. It's
like the United States. I mean, this is kind of Fort you know,
their idea. They've they've always been jealous of the
United States, because we started off as a sovereign
nations little bunch of sovereign nations and then the
Civil War made it clear that no, no, we're not a sovereign
nations. We are a republic of states. Right. Every state has
rights, but you're not a sovereign net. Georgia is not as
Our nation said South Carolina, which was South Carolina wanted
to be a sovereign nation, and they wanted to be a monarchy. I
should mention that they're the ones who started the Civil War.
South Carolina. Yeah. So Carolina, Lindsey
look at the history of South Carolina. It always wanted to be
a monarchy, and it wanted to be a sovereign nation.
Lindsey Graham could have been queen. Come on.
Like, it's like you, you saw the joke coming. And so you threw me
through? I want you to say it again. wanted me to say it
again. Wow. Okay. Anyway, the point is, is that they, they're
these aren't sovereign nations anymore. But the differences
between like, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, in the 17,
and 1800s, was not as extreme as the difference between Denmark
and Poland, Sweden, and you know, these other countries,
culturally. I mean, there's the cultural differences between
Germany and France are still pretty profound. Yes, me so much
so that they have been fighting with each other since back in
the 1700s. Or even before I guess, and I think that these
guys just can't pull themselves together as they don't want it.
It's so much easier when somebody else has all the heavy
lifting for you. Well,
you know, we've always doubted this would happen, and it just
seems that it's, you know,
we've been right all the
time. Now. They have until April 12. April 12. Is the bit that's
the ultimate day. That's the real deal. You know, we counted
down children three to two and a half. Yeah. We keep keep getting
closer to it. I don't know. But at what point do the human
resources of the United Kingdom of Gitmo nation just take to the
streets and get really pissed off?
Or not?
Oh, that's it. Exactly. Well, it's hopeless. It's fantastic,
though. Well, it's
free for us. Yeah. We have to watch this this this fiasco.
Yeah. So I didn't realize that they could have just said no
need article 50. We just quit. We're done.
Article. 50 is the nice guy way of doing it. You know, it's
like, Okay, now we'll pay you money. Will we agree? Well,
we'll do all the switches with article 50 was for
illustrative so because we're because it's, I guess, based on
the fact that if we're going to quit the EU, we have, we're
going to hurt you. Inadvertently, it's going to
damage the EU. So we have to make amends. So we do this
article 50
thing meanwhile, I didn't have time to grab the clip of John
Bolton was everywhere, on on the British news. And I didn't see
him here at all, which I just didn't have time with all the
technical issues. He said, Hey, if you if Brexit if, if the UK
crashes out of the EU, they'll crash right into the US. He says
we're here we're ready to do a trade deal with them. Which I'm
thinking means boy, we're gonna screw you guys over.
Well, the last laughs on them because they did the ones who
still make the Range Rover. Yeah,
yeah, it's a hot ticket item here in Austin, the Range Rover
all bedded in usually see it with a dream catcher hanging
from the rearview mirror. Then, you know, you're right. Yeah,
you're there. Alright, so there was still lots of people just
getting really upset about the Muller report. Oh, I have
another super cuts. I've been waiting for this. You know, one
of those?
Yeah, the good would we just call them super curvy, almost
every show for the last three or four shows.
But this is a new one. This is Brennan. So we know that. The
last thing we heard from the last thing we heard from
Brennan, John Brennan, former CIA chief was, well maybe got
some bad information. But it's nice to listen to everything you
said leading up to that point.
Paul Manafort is one of the first characters who could have
been perhaps planted there or placed there as a Russian agent.
Is that implausible to you?
No, it's not implausible. We believe Russia has something on
him Russians, I think have had long experience with with Mr.
Trump and may have things that they could expose. Is that
speculation or are you talking with information? No, I'm saying
that perhaps the Russians have something what is in Donald
Trump's past that the Russians have and might use against I
think Mr. Trump is for whatever reason, either intimidated by
Mr. Putin afraid of what he could do. Maybe there's
something Are the Russians may have something on him
personally. That's why I use the term that this was nothing short
of treasonous. Because it is a betrayal of the nation. You go
to the word treason, it
suggests that you think the President may be I think the
preserving another serving a foreign country rather than our
own.
Well, yeah, he is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. You are
the former
CIA director accusing the sitting President United States.
It's not a private citizen. A lot of people hear the former
CIA director accusing the sitting president united states
of treason. That's, that's monument. That's a monumental
accusation.
Well, I think these are abnormal times that Mr. Trump's claims of
no collusion are hogwash, just because there is collusion, I
think in open sight. Now I have seen the lights blinking red in
terms of what Mr. Trump has done and is doing so if anybody from
the Trump family and extended family is going to be indicted,
it would be in the final act of Muller's investigation. And I
think that's why he's been so desperate to stop the Muller
investigation. He is going to be delivering what I think we're
going to be his indictments, the final indictments, as well as
the report that he gives the attorney general in the one off,
I received bad information, but I think I suspected that there
was more than there actually was.
Yeah, I think so. John. So we've got him on record. But
interestingly, that's not who the President was going after in
his big his big Grand Rapids Michigan rally, which he did on
Friday, little
pencil neck. Adam Schiff got the smallest in his snack I've ever
seen.
He is not a long ball hitter.
Shift got you know, they just went rare that this ever
happens. But Schiff got excoriated by the Republicans on
the on the Intel Committee. I have two clips. Okay, good. I
have the I don't have the whole thing. It goes over three
minutes of them condemning him. But I do have the end of it,
which kind of gets to the point. And this is sure is this clip
chips response? No, that just wants to the second clip
and have slam against Schiff. Here we go. Yes.
This is the this is Oh, it's Conway I think are one of the
one of the senators reading from the statement that all the
Republicans signed and nobody would look shift in the eye
during this whole little back and forth.
Professor Catherine molars findings are consistent with
those of this committee, as well as the public statements or
various senators on the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence. Despite these findings, you continue to
proclaim to the media that there is significant evidence of
collusion. You further stated you will continue to investigate
the counterintelligence issues. That is, is the President or
people around him compromised in any way by hostile foreign
power. Your willingness to continue to promote a
demonstrably false narrative is alarming. The findings of the
Special Counsel conclusively refute your past and present
assertions and expose you as having abused your position to
knowingly promote false information. Having damaged the
integrity this committee and undermine the faith in United
States government as this institutions, your actions both
past and present are incompatible with your duty as
chairman of this committee, which alone in the House of
Representatives has the obligation and authority to
provide effective oversight of the US intelligence community.
As such, we have no faith in your ability to discharge your
duties in a commander consistent with your constitution
represents stability, and urge your immediate resignation is
chairman of the committee. Mr. Chairman, this letter is signed
by all nine members of the Republican side of the house but
the other committee and I asked you that it's gonna sit there be
edited in the record of today's
hearing. Now, what would the tip would would a chairman typically
resign when one entire side doesn't sound like it to me?
That's why I asked
when one is this stuff, too. But I'll tell you this. I've never
seen this before. Where
the whole world an entire side that we didn't have any of this
during Benghazi, were Republicans went off anything
like that?
No. Okay. I've never seen this before. This is news to me. I
mean, I had to do a little research and this happened
before and what happened? But I'll tell you this Schiff was
beside himself. Yes, he was. And he was very upset. And I do have
a little bit of his response to this. And I can just say it goes
on and on and on with some it's very canned and he never defends
himself. That's the thing about he just attacks Trump. Without
objection, sorry. I'm just saying he did it. He was very,
but he was not happy. And I think it's, I think he's, I
don't know what he's going to do.
Without objection. I'm going to turn to our witnesses who are
the summary of the hearing today. But before I do, and as
as you have chosen, instead of addressing the hearing to simply
attack me, consistent with the President's attacks. I do want
to respond in this way. My colleagues may think it's okay.
That the Russians offered dirt on a Democratic candidate for
president as part of what was described as the Russian
government's effort to help the Trump campaign you might think
that's okay. My colleagues might think it's okay. That when that
was offered to the son of the president had a pivotal role in
the campaign that the president's son did not call the
FBI. He did not adamantly refuse that foreign help. No. Instead,
that son said that he would love the help of the Russians. You
might think it's okay. That he took that meeting. You might
think it's okay that Paul Manafort the campaign share
someone with great experience in running campaigns. Also took
that meeting, you might think it's okay. That the president's
son in law also took that meeting. You might think it's
okay that they concealed it from the public, you might think it's
okay. That the only disappointment after that
meeting was that the dirt they received on Hillary Clinton
wasn't better. You might think that's okay.
You know, when I saw that speech, it was so the cadence
and the timing was so interesting. And just, you know,
he just rolling down I'm like, oh, man, this is going to be
perfect for end of show. And I can't wait to play Tom
Starkweather I
don't think that's okay.
He has he has he has that's a great ISO too. He has a great
end of show mix of Schiff doing all this. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I
guess he didn't think it was okay. But he's the hero.
This is well, that lip Joe's would probably say that now. I
did watch the and I recommended people listen to his half hour I
took only four clips, but they're one of them's long, the
rest of them pretty short. For clips of this guy, David Cay
Johnston. Yes, this is what you put in the newsletter. Yeah, I
just wanted people to listen to because it's pretty good. i It
was interesting to me, because it was two very progressive
liberals arguing with each other as opposed to you know, a
balance of one side laughing and the other side they both are now
Johnstone makes a living out of writing antiTrump books he did
win a Pulitzer once. I was
gonna say he was both he and Greenwald are both Pulitzer
Prize winners, which made it all the more entertaining.
Yes. So I have a series of clips starting off with just Johnson
Johnston going on about you know what he never defended. He, he's
one of the guys that's that's rewriting the Muller report and
trying to imagine one thing or another. And these these four
clips are just actually fascinating, especially when, at
the very end. Greenwald just lets it rip. But here's
Greenwell Johnson one,
David, your response to the Muller report. And to William
Barr summary of what he found. Well,
we don't know what's in the Muller report. We only know the
brief interpretation offered by Bill Barr, but that
interpretation opens whole new cans of worms. The standard here
should not be beyond a reasonable doubt. That's the
criminal standard. The standard is the constitutional
requirements which are faithful execution of the office and high
crimes and misdemeanors which doesn't require any criminal
offense of any kind. As the 18 impeachment proceedings we've
had in this country have established beyond a doubt
Glenn Greenwald, your response.
Let me just say two things. Number one, everybody knows and
I don't care how many people try and rewrite history, that the
central question that everybody was obsessed with for three
years was did Donald Trump his family members and his aides
conspire and collaborate and collude with the Russians to
interfere in the election? And contrary to what David just
said, it is absolutely false that Robert Mueller simply said
there's not enough evidence to convict with a reasonable doubt.
He said something much, much, much, much more important than
any collusion said that after 20 months of investigation, with a
huge team of FBI agents and prosecutors heralded as being
the most aggressive and skilled in the world. We found no
evidence that this happened. That's what Robert Moeller said
the whole thing was a scam and a fraud from the beginning. And
the New York Times headline today says that as clearly as it
can, Robert Moeller finds no collusion between Trump and
Russia. That was the focal point of the entire narrative, no
matter how much people try and change the focus.
Yes. So he starts off with that, and then it starts to go in. He
continues a bit with some more details. This is clip two,
he is distorting what our findings was. That is laughable.
That's exactly the kind of conspiracy theories that led to
this entire mess in the first place. And we should no longer
tolerate this. Rachel Maddow, and MSNBC are the Judy Miller's
of this story. Except unlike Judy Miller, who was scapegoated
for doing things that her male colleague did and had their
career destroyed. Rachel Maddow will continue to make $10
million a year for NBC because she's their most valuable brand,
and there will be no Reckoning and consequences for this story
that the media got are radically fundamentally and deliberately
wrong for almost three years now in a very dangerous way.
He makes the point that this just, you know, causing tensions
between Russia and the United States. Let's go to clip three.
Donald Trump is an agent. I said he's an asset. If I did say
agent, I should not have but I've said repeatedly
Stopstopstop
this, this continues after Greenwald, called out Johnston
for calling Trump a Russian agent. About one week beef on
the Democracy Now show which appears on constantly on the
Democracy Now show called Johnson said, Trump is a Russian
agent. And so Greenwald called him out on this and this is his
response.
Donald Trump is an agent. I said he's an asset if I didn't say
agent, I should not have but I've said repeatedly. He is what
the old Soviet would call a useful idiot. He has advanced
there cause he's caught he called during the campaign for
breaking up NATO. That's a Putin item. He has said he trusts
Vladimir Putin and not the American intelligence agencies.
Those should all be things that deeply disturb us. And if the
Mueller report when we see it shows that this is all malarkey.
hammy on and I'll say, You know what, got it totally wrong,
because I go wherever the facts go. But I don't think this
country has been totally discredited. And I noticed that
Glenn's focus is on one cable TV show, by the way, I think I'd
Manam once since Donald Trump's election on Rachel Maddow, when
I got the tax return of Donald Trump from 2005. I don't appear
on her show otherwise. And so I think fundamentally, we do need
to focus on the real economic issues. Donald Trump wants to
make healthcare in America worse. He has not fulfilled any
of his promises. There's no infrastructure bill, there is
the this focus on the wall with Mexico, which is never going to
be built and certainly not paid for by the Mexicans. He has
stirred violence against people of color and people whose
religions he doesn't like. And he is utterly and completely
unfit to hold office. He is in the classic meaning of the Greek
word, an idiot, which originally meant someone who only cares
about himself and has no regard for the society around him.
David, yeah, on the show last week, you did say Russian agent
that Donald Trump has erected? Are you saying
I should have said asset i. And asset is the term that I've used
and I do believe that you can unwittingly be an asset to
Donald Trump is is a Russian. So I think the kindest thing you
can say about Donald Trump is that he has divided loyalties.
Fact check. That's true.
Now, this is funny, because he goes on and on about how he only
follows the facts. And then he blatantly lies about saying
Russian agents. How
is the mistake he meant to say asset
then so then he rewrites history right there.
What a dick. But but he's
still saying he's not addressing the molar report at all. Nobody.
What he's doing is he's going back to these racist,
misogynist, anti semitic, and that's just
the Trump rotation. Just stuff that has been it's got nothing
to do with the Muller report
surprise winner, ladies and gentlemen, Pulitzer Prize these
guys. So this that this point, Greenwald is fed up. And I think
this clip for is the best of the group.
cowbell. Let me just say one thing about this idea that he's
a Kremlin asset, or that we need to find out what his
relationship is with the Russia with the Russians. We just had a
22 month investigation where the media and Bob Muller did nothing
but look into that exact question. He's saying it like
nobody's ever asked us before nobody's ever we have the
answer. And as for him being a Russian asset, it's so
irresponsible to say that because the reality is that the
conflict between the US and the Russians are at a worse and
higher level than they've been in many years, probably decade.
How can you say Donald Trump is a student of the Kremlin, when
he's right now trying to remove one of Vladimir Putin, his
client regime states in Venezuela, or when he's trying
to bully Angela Angela Merkel out of buying Russian natural
gas, probably the thing that's most important to the Russian
economy, or when he sold lethal arms to the Ukrainians something
Obama refused to do on the grounds that it would be
provocative to Russia or when he bombed Putin's client state in
Syria, over and over the Trump administration has taken actions
far more adverse and aggressive and belligerent to the Russians,
then the Obama administration did. That's why this whole
narrative that Trump all that at all along was being blackmailed
by Putin, that he's an asset of Russia and Intel. Oh, James,
this is idiocy. It is completely irrational. It is contrary to
all facts. And Bob Muller's investigation who spent 22
months examining that core question, what is the
relationship between Trump and the Russians concluded that
there is no relationship? It's time to stop these dangerous
conspiracy theories that are ratcheting up tensions between
the two most dangerous countries on the planet. The reality is
the Trump administration has been constantly belligerent to
Putin has constantly acted adverse to the Kremlin's
interest. And there's zero basis for thinking or believing or
finding evidence to assert that Trump in any way is beholden to
Vladimir Putin into Russia. The whole thing has been a joke and
a fairy tale from the start.
He'll never work in this town again. I'm amazed it led them
on. Seriously, I mean, that's Hey, Glenn. You just harsh in
the vibe man here Democracy Now, baby. Yeah, he can't bring. He
did. There was another segment. I encourage everyone to watch
the whole half hour, as you did in the newsletter, that he went
on for a good three minutes about how much he hates Donald
Trump. Yeah, greenwall Yeah,
no, his Donald Trump hatred is quite, quite noticeable. Now, I
looked at some other media bits, which I thought were interesting
in regards to this. called out by name name checked along with
all his other favorite fox, fox news, hosts and celebrities,
which is just fantastic. The President is unabashedly a Fox
News fan, which doesn't make him look, you know, biased towards
any type of media. And of course, Fox doesn't consider
themselves mainstream that they'll say on via Fox as they
go mainstream media saying this or that? Well, you guys have the
number one rating. So I'd say you are the mainstream. But he
said, Oh, she's back. Judge Jeanine is back.
Oh, good old judging.
When someone lies to you? Do you just say, Don't worry about it,
I'll get over it. Well, that's not how our system works. There
has to be accountability, there has to be a consequence, because
it's the President himself said, this should never happen again.
And I can guarantee you it will happen again. Unless we make an
example of the traitorous treasonous group that accused
Donald Trump of being an agent of the Russian government. And
as they spew their hate. I want to know who did the unmasking
who did the leaking. And if we don't have a consequence, if
people at the highest level of government are not held
responsible for this, it is a blueprint for a future effort to
overthrow the government. Don't be satisfied with the Mueller
report. This is bound to happen again, because these arrogant,
lying, condescending leaking haters, you and me and the
America that doesn't have power are going to do it again, unless
we stop them. And the only way to stop them is with justice.
true justice. And that's behind the bars justice.
Janine Wow.
Her hair looked good shithole. Good vibe about her. But now a
little a little inane rest a little unhinged. And I doubt
that she's always been unhinged.
I've been I've been I have a couple more clips here. But just
briefly since she was talking about it, here are the names
that I'm focusing on because there's there's some names
missing from well, certainly from the comp conversation. And
I doubt these names will be in the Moller report. The first one
I'm going to say is Paul Singer. Remember Paul Singer, remind me
multi billionaire hedge fund guy. He founded eglee. He funded
Romney he funded Rubio and he's good friends with Mike shields.
from CNN, who's married to Katie Walsh. Katie Walsh was all is
you know, she's neocon side. But she came in I think she did
Trump's transition team. He kept her on I think I maybe want to
get rid of her pence brought her back. But she and her husband
Mike shields. They got married at 10 Or he proposed to her at
10 Downing Street. So this is like well, what kind of
connections do you have over there? So I think there's an MI
six connection that we're still missing? Oh,
yes. Yes, I think you're absolutely correct. And I think
that Steele report and a lot of this other stuff. There's
something going on with MI six
Katie Walsh at George Washington University. I have my eye on her
and also and Romney and this this kingmaker. Pulsing or this
there's a lot of involvement anyway. Yeah, right. nominees
definitely a bad act. All Romney had something to do with it. We
just We just haven't heard it yet. So last night, although
it's a little late for me, but I'd like to see the opening
sequence Saturday Night Live. And they, everyone's on this
trip about, you know, this is just a summary. This is not
really the real report, we need to see the report because that's
where we have all the information, all of the actual
collusion that took place that just wasn't didn't quite fit the
bar high enough, so we couldn't quite get an indictment on
Trump. And so they set it up with De Niro being Muller. Then
the Muller was reading out what he wrote. Of course, we don't
know what he wrote. So that's why it was so interesting.
Because they have Robert De Niro as Muller saying things we don't
know if it's actually in the report.
Yeah, we know how De Niro feels about it anyway, but I want to
mention one thing. There was a little back and forth with
Johnstone and Greenwald about this similar situation. And
Greenwald mentioned that Barr and Moeller, are best friends
back into the George HW Bush era and all that. And, you know,
buddies running buddies, and he said that, don't you think that
anybody within the Muller team or Muller himself would have
said anything if what bars summary summarize wasn't right
on the money seems like a logical thing to have happened.
But yeah, the problem is logic is gone. Logic is a loser magic
is elusive.
That's a bumper sticker. It is. may not be very popular, but
it's I like logic isn't. Okay. So the setup, again, is De Niro.
And he's Muller. And he's writing his report. And then we
have then we have it goes straight to Barr and then Barr
makes his version of it. And then Trump of course, just says
no collusion the whole time. So it's kind of how the information
is passed down. But I found that interesting. Because they are
putting words into the Muller report, which you've not seen
before. And yeah, it's a comedy show, but it is rather
propagandistic.
Dear Attorney General bar officials from the Justice
Justice Department and
by the way, I've noticed this Robert De Niro one of the best
actors apparently of our time. I've never seen him on SNL not
flub a line. The guy can't get his lines, right.
I noticed this too.
Always flubbing.
Here Attorney General bar officials from the Justice
Justice Department and esteemed members of Congress.
Hey guys, William bar here. You might want to sit down for this
one. Guess what
Guess what? Guess what daddy is about to freak.
I am submitting these 380 pages. I am writing almost four pages.
I am reading zero pages.
But Sean Hannity, and he was so excited that he texted me and
they plant
on the charge of obstruction of justice. We have not drawn a
definitive conclusion.
But I have and my conclusion is Trump's clean as a whistle. Free
at last free at last.
As for conspiracy or collusion, there were several questionable
incidences involving the President's team, but we cannot
prove a criminal connection to
that to me. That's, it's sneaky, you know, because people will
remember that was like, well, the report said that because you
know, just like Sarah Palin never said, I can see Russia
from my house. That that was
Tina Fey, Tina Fey,
who said that, but people to this day believe that Sarah
Palin says So now, what sets I don't know if I've put in here.
But the Muller report very
irresponsible to do this. By the way, it's comedy must read last.
As for conspiracy or collusion, there were several questionable
incidences involving the President's team, but we cannot
prove a criminal connection. No collusion, no diggity, and no
bet. However, we have indicted 34 individuals in connection
with this probe. Most of them very good people. The pardons
are already in the mail.
All right. So yeah. And then we went on it was okay, you know,
and then they tried to do a small bit, which wasn't funny at
all. But then I switched over to NPR on the media. And this is
interesting, because it's a media show about the media also
about themselves, and that all the reporters out and they're
talking about this report, and I think this is a very good
example of the thinking within the journalistic community about
the report that we need to say and why we need to see it.
I guess there are a lot of people Natasha Bertrand who
would say, what I mean, doesn't the mullah report and this
question of collusion? You know, Adam Schiff can continue to
bring it up for political reasons. But hasn't that
question now been answered by the Special Counsel in this
report? No, no, absolutely not. I think that's that's totally.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no question now been answered by the Special Counsel
in this report? No, no, absolutely not. I think that's
that's totally incorrect. Actually, I think that the
question of whether or not Muller found evidence, enough
evidence to charge the campaign with a criminal conspiracy with
Russia, is not the be all end all of this question of whether
or not the President himself was at any point compromised by the
Russians, whether any members of his campaign were compromised by
the Russians during the during the election? And what explains
the President's kind of continued deference towards
Russian President Vladimir Putin and the secrecy that has for so
long surrounded their conversations and their
interactions? So I think that, you know, when we apply criminal
standards to counterintelligence findings, we might be kind of
missing the point. And this is what national security and
intelligence experts have been telling me about the importance
of getting the other the full report the full Mueller report
to figure out what evidence that he amassed over the last two
years of his investigation that went beyond whether or not a
crime was actually committed, because when we look at it
through that narrow lens, we're unable to explain so much of the
campaign's behavior and of the President's behavior during the
election, especially, you know, the question of why so many
people and Trump himself lied about their interactions with
Russia during the election.
So there it is. It's the behavior. It's kind of where it
started. He's not behaving presidential. This is not good
behavior. So now it's back to behavior. And look, man,
you had so much like, Wait, she said, Trump lied about
interaction. But what what? When did Trump lie about the
Russians?
I don't know. I don't know. I mean, we're not going to forget
is that Muller's report was supposed to be the end that was
it. And you heard it right there. No, no, no, no, no. But
of course, she also talks to the intelligence community, she's
talking to all these guys, your
spies love talking to the media, because it never shows up in
their lie detector test.
Well, also the circular reporting that that we now know,
it has been affected upon us where you create news, you leak
it to the media, then the media reports on it, then you go back
and say, hey, look, the media is reporting on it. We should look
into this. Yeah. So she spoke to the intelligence community. And
they're quite pleased, actually,
Natasha Bertrand, tell us about your reporting on that. Is that
the danger? You see this sort of doubling down by Russia as we
move toward 2020? Yeah, absolutely. And experts say that
this actually may embolden them. They completely ignored the
findings in bar summary, not going to say Muller's report
because again, we don't know what's in it. But the findings
that Barr laid out that Muller found that Russia did interfere
in the election in two big ways through their information
warfare, and through hacking the Democrats.
No proof of either one. But okay. And I was talking
to the former CIA director, Mike Morel. The other day, and he
said, Look, this is actually a big win for the intelligence
community, because it is the second, you know, entity outside
of the IC that has actually confirmed their findings, their
early findings from January of 2017, that Russia did, in fact,
interfere in the election. And that I think, is the big the big
picture that we need to stay focused on as well as we go into
2020. The Russians are not being deterred on any of this in any
meaningful way.
Yeah, because we will use it as an excuse for any type of
contest that we don't like, wow, the Russians are still doing it.
And then finally, they go to call Why did she
jump from the report the molar report to something Morel told
her as confirmation? I mean, this is looted. This is exactly
what Glenn Greenwald is talking about exactly what he's talking
about. Well, he is insane. Gets funny. Okay, okay. We will play.
So here's your typical NP or maybe not so typical NPR
listener. They're they're taking some calls he calls in well,
I don't support virtually 90% of what Trump represents. But I
think the greatest greatest danger here is actually the
disinformation and the psychological warfare that is
being perpetrated by our own intelligence agencies. And I
recommend people check global research.ca. And look up the
phrase CIA Operation Mockingbird control of the media. And I
believe that desperate attempt by the military industrial
complex and the CIA's control the media, and I would include
NPR in this. Thank you very much.
I wouldn't include NPR and project Mockingbird and you're
off the air. John, I'm sorry. Sorry. And this.
Thank you very much for calling.
If I could just say well, a small, global research that CA
is a Kremlin funded, disinformation, think tank. So
let's just put that off the list of things people need to read.
It's well documented. You can look that up online.
On Wikipedia. I'm sure. You could look it up online. Some
Wikipedia busted. Busted. Well, that's a recruitment funded AD,
the guy gets a check at a ruble check every week. And that was a
Trump hater. The guy callers I disagree with 95% Everything
that the President does, but you guys are careful with this.
Well, I
mean, Glenn Greenwald is a Trump hater but he can't put up with
it either. Now it's out of control. It's almost as though
it's I don't even know why I been trying to think maybe this
is all US grand scheme dreamed up by Trump to distract from
Golden evil doing is he's actually up to I'm anyway, which
is kind of what Greenwald implies. But it's like it's so
crazy. And what is the endgame for the intelligence agencies?
Or am I sick survival, whoever's behind all this nonsense
survival? I think it's survival to not take a revenue problem
with survival. The people
at the top do the people who are running these scams is pencil
pushers, I'm sure who would
like to know by the way because I read two reports one said that
Brennan had his did indeed have his security clearance taken
away. Was it do we know that for a fact?
I thought so but I have no I know how would I know for sure I
would make him irked oh the guys are hurt.
I don't understand why I get this one. My last clip about
this is the report versus Nadler and bar this was on CBS N.
The DOJ insists a redacted version is necessary for
national security purposes to protect sources and methods and
ongoing investigations. But Democrats on Judiciary
Committees say they deal with sensitive material all the time,
and that they should first be given an adapted version to
review and then work with the DOJ to redact that sensitive
information before ultimately making the report public. Rena
battle continues. Moeller Thank you very much. Julia
Manchester's reporter for the hell she joins me now from
Washington. Okay.
So Julia William Barr said he's going to reportedly testify He
announced this in a letter before the Senate and House
Judiciary Committee early May. But the House Judiciary Chairman
Jerry Nadler is sticking to his April 2 deadline for an
unredacted report. Clearly, we're not going to meet this
deadline. How do you see this playing out on Capitol Hill?
You know, I think there's gonna be a lot of push and pull
between Capitol Hill and the Justice Department, it's only
going to end up in more pressure between the two sides on this,
you know, we've seen that Democrats really from the get
go, really sad said the April 2 deadline, ranking member of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein set an April 1
deadline. So I think William Barr knew what he was walking
into. However, from his point of view, there is lots of
information in this nearly 400 page report that includes
national security concerns, as well as information that could
be politically damaging to some official so he from his
perspective, there might have been nitpicking things that he
needed to take out in order to make the report appropriate for
the public. Sure.
So this is going to be interesting to watch this. And
we know that I mean, one of the reasons that the entire
Republican Party turned on Schiff is because they didn't
put us in the in the laundry list of complaints. They may
have hinted he's the leaker Schiff. Yes. Schiff is a leaker
and a liar. I mean, he leaks and at the end, he was the you know,
he's just reminds me just have a direct connection to the media.
And it's believed that Nadler and his boys are also leakers,
because they're trying to No, this is all so they can get
Trump out in 2020. Do they?
What surprises me would and that's the problem. What
surprises me is they really believe that that they can get
him out or they really just running interference until the
election. I mean, it's look,
wait, stop. Yes, of course they believe they can get him out.
He's days away days. See I did by the end I refer to my lip
Joe's on this too. The guy's a rapist. He is like this terrible
person that has to go. And there's no way that the American
public won't see this and then oust him at the first
opportunity now that they've seen what a mess he is, or what
are they exactly what they think, what are your lip Joe
friends saying?
That's what they're saying what I just said that he's a rapist,
and that's why they'll get him. That's their angle. That's their
angle. He's a rapist.
He's rapists. All that thing. I sent them the list of Trump
rotation which they've never seen. And one of them says, Oh,
I don't see one. One flaw in that list. Except the racist
thing, which is a great list of everything wrong with him.
Trump. It Trump rotation.com is where you can find it.
rotation.com Yeah, no, it's just not the just Trump rotation.
Rotation. I don't we don't have rapist on the list. No, he says
all Mexicans are rapists. No rapists. No, you're right
rapists. It's on there yet rapist is on there right under
admitted molester. Yeah, and anti Semite hates gays
homophobic. So it's what a good list Trump rotation.com which
takes you to the Kremlin back to cosmic weenie website. We were
talking about the ratings being down for MSNBC and CNN and there
was I had this Associated Press report. Maddow, other MSNBC
hosts see ratings dropped Fox up. So it wasn't just something
I heard the Associated Press says they're supposed to be kind
of impartial.
Well, we're supposed to be a
madhouse audience has dipped on her two days back on the air
since Attorney General William Barr reported this special
counsel Robert Marlatt found no collusion, or audiences 2.5
million on Monday was 19% below her average this year. It went
down further to 2.3 million on Tuesday, according to Nielsen,
and then they say Matt Fox is up. So we'll see how that is
next week. But it's it's really it is possible that the audience
is fatigued of this and that, then you have a real problem.
But you said CNN is really trying to get away from it. They
writing lives
think CNN is, is moving a little bit. They're not moving as fast
as well. I mean, to pretty much anybody. I mean, New York Times
moves faster. But I think so yeah. I think they're trying to
get away from it just because it's, it's an albatross at this
point. We'll go right back to it. As soon as the full report
report comes out. They'll start reading between the lines and
saying, Well, I could have done this. You could have done that.
So here's what happens. We get Brexit on April 12. And then no,
we don't. Well, I'm sorry. You're right. But we won't even
hear about it. We won't know about it. We won't. I guess Joe
Biden got taken out. They hit him hard.
Well, I do have some Biden clips. That can pre pre
Well, here's the hit dog quick. 21 second explanation. A
candidate for
lieutenant governor in Nevada is speaking out about former Vice
President Joe Biden in a blog post for New York Magazine. Lucy
Flores claims that Biden placed his hands on her shoulders and
kissed the back of her head without her permission. On
Friday, a spokesperson for Biden said that allegations like these
should be taken seriously. But that the former vice president
does not remember this incident.
Biden appears to be the Jimmy Savile.
That's taking it very far. Okay.
Now, Democracy Now did a little bit of a hit job on him. Minor I
might add, with the with this clip. Here's the Biden douchebag
Anita Hill here and because this is he's trying to backpedal on
some of his stuff that he used to do that it was that they
fears you can get condemned for but if you listen between the
lines here you hear a little kind of an interesting little
needle. In this report. Former Vice
President Joe Biden said Tuesday he regretted his role and
confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence
Thomas in 1991. During the hearings, and Anita Hill, an
African American woman who worked as a lawyer for Clarence
Thomas was questioned by an all male or white Senate Judiciary
Committee over her allegations that Thomas had sexually
harassed her in the workplace. Speaking at a ceremony for the
Biden Courage Awards in New York Tuesday evening, Joe Biden
condemned a white man's culture for not taking Hills claims
seriously.
A lot less about the extent of harassment back then, over 30
years ago, but she paid a terrible price. She was abused
to the hearing. She's taken advantage of her reputation was
I wish it could have done something.
Biden's comments drew widespread condemnation with many social
media commentators noting Biden was chair of the Senate
Judiciary Committee at the time to Hill's testimony. Joe Biden
has launched a new political action committee ahead of a
widely expected announcement. He'll seek the Democratic
nomination for the presidency. And 2020.
No, I don't know, man. But yeah, this woman this what's her name?
Anita, you load? No, no, Lucy Flores. Oh, this smells of
Hillary. Oh, this is not now this is not something new. This
is 2014. This is five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Let me see why it
just smells and she's from Nevada. So that doesn't mean
it's any connection to Hillary here. Let me see.
There's probably some
sent out an email. It just smells it just smells of
Clinton. This is what the Clintons do. Always getting
people on SEC stuff. That's what they love. Is that because
they're embarrassed about their projection, but whatever the
crazy stuff they're doing on the Lolita Express.
Now, I have one other Joe Biden clip which I've been holding on
to. And this is a this is a crackpot theory about Biden that
was expressed on that network that we
don't want one America news. Yeah. Which is a family owned. I
was writing about that's what I that's what I said. No, you said
it was horrible, man. Stop it.
This family on to this guy this, this kind of very aggressive
anchors that are just constantly lecturing you like they're all
schoolmarm types. Yes. And they're always shaking their
finger at the audience. But let's go with this. Listen to
this. This is the craziest.
The one American network is what people who hate Fox think that
that's what Fox is. You know what I kind of agree with a very
conservative. Just the I think there's a strong Christian
component to the network. Oh, definitely. Yeah. So and it's
family owned. And they read that it's Yeah, and they're all they
look like they've all been inbreeding just a little bit.
Guys aren't physicians, right?
That's exactly. That's the network.
John Brennan is a mute. And he got the amber light from Biden.
And he ran with it in women who
is the speaker.
This is some one of the many queer characters they have. I
didn't write his name down. But he's got this thesis that
Brandon is working for Biden.
Oh, okay. A lot of mistakes. Most importantly, he worked with
our foreign allies to try to shut up Trump. And, you know,
this has filtered down into all of the Trump family. This was a
Biden operation, like no other against a candidate who was not
expected to win, but they wanted to make sure that they destroyed
him. Before he had the opportunity to do so.
Why is it you think that when we hear about these meetings, when
we hear about Spygate, the focus is so much placed, of course on
John Brennan because he had an operational role, Comey later
because of the FISA process? Why is it that Biden hasn't really
been brought into the story at this point?
I don't know. Very often, powerful people with that much
experience and background in the intelligence field are able to
provide people like Brennan and Lynch who, you know, committed
crimes, but provide or make them
scapegoats another person at the meetings that would have been
there a statutory member, of course, would be the secretary
of state. This is John Kerry. What role did John Kerry play
and what was his relationship with Biden during
this, John Kerry allowed Jonathan Winer and Sidney
Blumenthal to to provide Christopher Steele entree into
the State Department. But John Kerry was deathly afraid of Joe
Biden, for whatever reason, and Joe Biden carried a lot of
power. Well,
now he's making Biden sound like Dick Cheney. Yeah. Which I think
makes the you know, I think that connects with people directly
thinks Cheney but when you start talking about a vice president
is doing anything other than nothing. You begin to think a
Dick Cheney. So I just Biden has a lot of power Biden's running
the spy networks. This would have come up
if we go back to the thesis that this was a mop up, this was a
clean up operation because Comey failed and he mopped up the the
email story but did it inappropriately and stupidly,
and so he got he got canned, then that put everything at
risk. Now we know the one guy who actually could make trouble,
it was Manafort, that's why Manafort is in jail, millions of
people who were problematic go away. So Manafort definitely
problematic in Ukraine with Russians with Podesta with the
whole Obama of State Department clique when they were f the EU
and changing the government there. So there's, there's stuff
going on with him.
The you know, he was suspicious, as you recall, when he first
showed up out of the blue in
the Trump campaign. Well, you know, who recommended him was
puffer guy. I do know it's Paul Singer. That's the well, it was
Robert Stone, Roger Stone was kind of the the shepherd but
Paul Singer, this is the guy who pushed him forward. This is that
business guy, the guy behind Romney, which is why I'm
surprised that there's a thought about Joe Biden being anything.
But clearly, Brennan is being left to hang out to dry. And I
don't think this he's he's put enough rope around his neck.
Schiff I don't know. It's minor. Now. I think there's still a big
connection that has not even been mentioned. So we'll just
have to see. We'll have to see. But Biden, I don't think so. But
he's been taken out. Biden is out. No, he's
not sure.
Of course he's out he cannot overcome the creepy old man
thing. It's everywhere.
He is going to right now the list that we have. contenders
underline 2010 22,020 Cosmic weenie slash contenders.
Russian disinformation site
2020. Biden is the number one candidates still.
Okay, but that's I that's your list. Yeah. My cosmic bunny here
says
that this is you don't have cosmic been. He's? Well, I will
say, Oh, this was a hit job. He's been taken out. This is
done. This is everywhere. He's creepy. We still have debates
coming.
Oh, he's been creepy.
I know. But now someone said it. We've all know that he's been
creepy. But now someone said it now. It's out there. He's just
friendly. Anyway. We have Eric Holder who has been very quiet
for a while Eric Holder of
a Sunday showing up? Yes. And I have a little clip of that. By
the way. If the clean if once the noisy showing up after the
Muller report. Yep. And that means the cleanup is over? Yes,
we got you covered, you can come out of that you can come out
from under your hole now.
And he's the former Attorney General under President Obama.
And, um, he doesn't think the Constitution is much
well, I'll stick with this issue. But but I'll also say I
think we ought to do away with the electoral college. You know,
we have a system now that was it's a it's a defect, you know,
we have had in the last it's
it's a yes, it's a defect to democracy. That's why we're a
republic. But it depends on you know, on how you want to define
democracy or if I don't if you said our democracy, but it's a
defect.
It's a defect in our in our democracy. We have had in the
last five elections. Two presidents who were not did not
win the popular vote. The presidency is the one office in
this country that represents all of the people. You know, you
have a district representative, your congressman, you have a
person who represents your state or two people represent your
state, you have senators, and you vote for them in a direct
way. It seems to me that we ought to have a direct election
of the President of the United States. And if we did that, you
would have Republicans who would be campaigning in California,
Republican would campaign in New York,
but when he when he says campaign read television
advertising
Democrat which campaign in that means that some swing states,
smaller states would not get as much attention as they do now.
But I think people in this country would get a great deal
more attention, attention that they that they deserve.
As a member of the bar. I am disgusted by Eric Holder. The
way he talks about this being a defect and he said it in our
day. democracy. That's pretty outrageous.
Yeah. This is a very typical defect in our republic. Yeah,
this
is not a bug. It's a feature. Mr. holder's the whole point
is we keep criminals like Hillary from getting elected.
Yes. It's a safeguard. Exactly. Yeah, it's a safeguard zactly.
But no, no, that's a defect. We got to get rid of it. I'm just,
well, this is not part of this deal. I mean, this is just
playing in the hands of the media that just went the getting
greedy. Well, yeah, the guy like they promote this kind of a
speech and then you know, that would immediately behind
existence all benefits down.
And let's just explain it one more time, because he actually
said, He's saying, hey, we'd have a lot of different people
from different parties campaigning, we'd have Democrats
campaigning in Texas, we have Republicans campaigns,
California,
noted it and link to it in various newsletters and is my
and I wrote this 14 years ago, saying that the electoral
college is doomed. Because at some point, the media is going
to look at and say, Hey, these guys are spending all this money
in these various markets. But the big markets like California,
where they just don't even bother to advertise because it's
a done deal. This is not good. We gotta we can't soak them if
we can all of a sudden bring that. Because right now, if you
take a look at the vote at Hillary popular vote that
Hillary won, take, just take one state California, out of the
entire election, and she would have lost by 2 million votes in
the popular vote, right? It's all California. So what you're
doing when you take the electoral college out of the
picture is just giving the whole country over to California?
Well, that of course, you didn't need to counter that you have to
spend billions in advertising in California to try to get a few
people to vote Republican, which there have been reluctant to do
but they'll do it
just to remind everybody who's rude, who rules the world.
And but the media is the one who benefits from this. This is the
same thing with campaign finance reform, which will never happen
because this comes close. The media will push back against it
in some sinister way. Because they're the ones who lose out
with campaign finance reform. The media, it's not that it
benefits anybody it does benefit. You know, some lesser
candidates who can can't get anybody to give them money. But
it doesn't benefit the media as just means less money's being
spent in the media suffers. So they want they want more money
being spent. Meanwhile, the
smart guys, or at least the ones who say they're the smartest in
the room aren't thinking about that at all. This is quickie and
then we'll go take our break. This is Brad Parr Skoll, the guy
who is credited with the with a lot of the Trump win through his
Facebook campaigns and other social media, but I think mainly
Facebook, where he was on he was he was being interviewed been on
a couple of different shows recently. And he I think, I
guess, because it's all online. He is the Trump 2020 campaign
manager currently. And he does something very interesting. When
you go to a Trump rally. And I bet you recall I went to him
before he was elected in Fayetteville. And no one asked
me for my phone number upon entering but I guess that is
something they're now doing. So if you if you come in, it's okay
want your phone number? That was I guess people give I find that
give
my I did say to ask for your email address, it seems less
offensive.
These days, I feel if you have a phone number, you can match that
with a phone ID when you have a phone ID you had then you can go
to the data brokers and you can know if someone's you know, on
the bus right now, so I'm a little apprehensive but the same
goes for an email address
is fake. It just gives them phony number. Well, maybe women
do in nightclubs, maybe
people did. But there were some interesting data that he has
been collecting.
So I think from this Michigan rally, you can also see in the
data, just like we saw on the El Paso rally, we saw new people
coming Democrats 3040 50% Democrats, you saw blue collar
Democrats, African Americans, Latinos, you see him expanding.
So this is opening format. When they came into the rally in
Michigan, just like in El Paso, we require them to get their
cell phone number and we connect them back to the voter file. We
know exactly how they voted in the past. What things they do,
and we had 10s of 1000s of registrants. I believe it was
34% of the people who came to the Michigan rally were
Democrats. I think that's a significant number almost half
and only voted once in the last four elections. I'm harvesting
nearly a million voters data information in key swing states
every month. That must terrify the Democrats. Yeah, we are put
it this way. We are four times ahead of where we were in 2016.
I have I plan on being six to eight times ahead of in data
that's 10s of millions records. I hope to have every record for
every voter I need by election day. There you go.
You guys rock and he's cuz he's got 30 40% Democrats showing up
at the Trump rally.
That's pretty that's, that's
very surprising to me.
But it wouldn't surprise me. Because I think Democrats, I
think what great I think Glenn Greenwald Glenn Greenwald a
very, very rough. Yeah. He I think he's kind of like
indicating the problem, which is this bull crap, the general
public and Democrats or any dumber than Republicans. I think
that I think you you hit the nail on the head a little while
earlier when you said people are getting burned out by this crap
and right yeah, there's the 2 million people that watch Rachel
Maddow and they nod their head and they think that Trump's a
rapist, and they're all in on that, and they're never gonna
vote for anybody but a Democrat, but enough about your friends.
There's plenty of Republicans on the other side, this thinks the
same way. But it's that group in the middle. Yeah. They're not
going to vote for a bite and they're not going to vote for
anybody that I see so far that the Democrats are going to try
to run
well, especially Michigan, you know, when he's their prom, and
we I hope we have some information from our Michigan
local one. You know, what's the vibe over there? He says he's
bringing back jobs. I think Ford is not bringing back jobs. But
he had all kinds of announcements. You know, a
couple 1000 here a couple 1000 there. So I think anyone anyone
who wants a job if the guy says I'll bring you a job, you know
what I'm interested
in Michigan. Yeah. Well, we
haven't received anything from the local.
With that meeting today, by the way, the local the
local one. With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage
and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea and
cosmic weenie John Tavares in the morning to you.
Adam curry in New Orleans should you see boots on the ground,
feed yourself to the water and all the days and nights out
there in the morning
to all the trolls and the troll room. Thank you for hanging
around. Well, we got everything going today that has no agenda
stream.com where you can always listen to the show and troll
away and sometimes people are helpful. Also a hearty in the
morning. To Darren O'Neill, he does it again. I think one of
the better pieces of artwork we've had in the past few weeks,
just from a factual actual comedic standpoint, it was a
monopoly Get Out of Jail Free card with Jussie Smollett, fake
a crime and get out of jail free and people liked this one man. I
thought it was funny. And he had he did two versions very risky.
He did one version without any any prisoner number and he did
one version with the prisoner number which was also the
episode number 1124. Now here's
why it was risky and I'm gonna tell him he should be listening
if Adam per chance, pick the that as the pre show art which
didn't because he didn't even notice that it had the number on
there that would have negated the possibility that it becomes
the show art exactly as you're not going to use the pre show
artists the show art and that's where we discourage people from
putting the number in there because when people put the
number on the show number on there it's usually only for the
pre show art now what if but if you want to pull that stunt
which what you did was you send both those art pieces in you
wait till after the show's over right after the show began
because the pre show arts already been picked then you can
throw that in there and not worry about this problem, which
you which could have happened and then that great show art
that we used would never have become the show art. That's
right. I think I confused everybody.
We are very happy. We're extremely happy we had a Darren
O'Neal. It really worked out well for us. This is an
important part of our of our value for value network where we
don't have a network of podcasts now we have a network of
producers and they make one podcast together
in order to do a pot we don't do a network. No, no agenda
podcasting network you know
we have a network card TV network the Martini network what
do you get that from
the gimlet? Oh, like that
the Martini network. No agenda are generated are calm you can
take a look at everything the artists do there and you can
upload yourself and could be used in the show pre show could
be used in newsletters on you can make some money off it if it
makes the no agenda shopper then make T shirts and mugs and hats
and all kinds of stuff. And it just seems to work out well for
everyone. Thank you so much. And we have some executive and
Associate Executive producers to thank for today's episode 1125.
Yes, starting with Peter Barthel in some place in the US doesn't
say 333 dot 33. There John and Adam no agenda is truly the best
podcast in the universe. I've been listening since spring of
2016 and haven't missed a show sense. Wow. Me and my family
dairy farm in western Minnesota. Back in 2001. A Dutch family
emigrated to Minnesota and bought a dairy farm two miles
north of our farm. Core and Cisco are their two sons,
Garrison and cows. Oh core and Cisco, and their two sons,
Garrett. Gary on and Kelsey core came back to the US on a
temporary Eetu visa. He has to renew it every three to five
years. He's been trying to obtain a green card and
citizenship for the past two decades. But he's got nowhere
Yeah, it's classic. But you know, meanwhile, well, you did
it all wrong. You need to you need to sneak in Sneak Yes. What
are you thinking man? All right. You tried to do it legally. Epic
fail. Alright,
so now it's his son's turn. 21. They're required by law to go
back to Holland. His oldest son returned to Holland last summer
now his youngest son is due to go back in June. He's about to
lose his entire farm and be forced back to Holland with
nothing in his pocket. Wow. He is literally on the verge of
losing everything I could go on and on about destroy but instead
I will post a link where you can spread more about this. Please
fellow new agenda listeners new agenda now agenda listeners go
to the change that org Go to change.org and sign the petition
to help Koren his son. Oh, and Adam core told me that you were
his favorite DJ in Holland because Adam could speak perfect
Dutch without an American accent
without an Oh, yeah. Kind of. Yeah, yes. Yeah.
He's raised there. Links below and he's got WWW dot care K ar e
by the way. It's K ar e, one one.com k r e dot one. one.com.
And then change.org. And then there's this long thing. Yeah,
I'll put a link in the show notes. But Caroline's ridiculous
I don't know what an E two is. I'm not familiar with the E two
visa. So that's a look into it. But
I was just work with chain migration. One no two Chinese
come over here. Open a restaurant in San Francisco. And
next thing you know, there's 100 Chinese work and now and they're
all fine. Somebody didn't do something right. Nice not
sneaking in.
Now this is unfortunately this is the system. The system is
upside down. It's upside down. And yeah, the elites in America
don't want any smart people coming in being entrepreneurs
and stuff and making money. Maybe if here's what you do. Do
you have any illegals working on the farm? If not get a couple.
Then go to your local municipality and say look, I got
if I go these poor people will have to go back to Mexico or
wherever. That will be my advice. I really sad sad.
It's very sad, sad. Advice.
I'm gonna give some karma for these people. They definitely
deserve it.

my favorites. They were popular and reliable back in the day,
and many of them have been preserved. 33 slash two variant
was a thinner version of the class that was built
specifically for the line that goes through my hometown. It's
widely believed that the extensive retooling required for
these special locomotives led to the manufacturer going bankrupt.
I started listening to you guys back in 2008. Having found the
show via cranky geeks, I particularly enjoyed the show

Guilford to Netherlands.

while I drifted away, but they returned to the show for episode
792 and your insights and media deconstructions have been
keeping me grounded ever since whilst others around me lose

everybody all lined up we know who's gonna be in the debates we
got it all
formula is this we go out we get people in the mountains you
gotta propagate us and we will be thanking more people in our
second segment $50 and above and thank you again for supporting
the no agenda show best podcast in the universe. Alright, let me
see.
Oh, you gotta kill I got a couple shorties here we can just
kind of move through. Here's a good example. This was something
similar to a clip we had earlier in the show where the guy got
cut off. There's a very famous cut out this is a recent show
with general Jonathan Shaw comes on Sky News to discuss the
situation with Syria and what the Brits could do more we could
they could kill more people. And he goes off on the idea that the
maybe the gas attack didn't make any sense back in the day. It
does and you're the one that Trump got all bent out of shape
and bomb the crap out of him
right out of an out of a runway.
Yeah but why bombed the crap out a bunch of runways and he starts
to go off in this and so they get as he gets 40 seconds into
it. You know in which module one minute segment after they cut
him off because this is not what they want to hear on Sky News.
Think anything what we've heard from either c'est la vie Have,
or indeed the Russian ambassador has made it more difficult for
the UK to launch any kind of attack without putting it to
Parliament.
I think quite apart from all that the bait that seems to be
missing from this is, and this was actually mentioned by the by
the dambuster was what possible motive might have triggered
Syria to launch a chemical attack at this time in this
place.
The Syrians are winning, don't take my word for it. Take the
American military, general vertical, the head of CENTCOM,
he said to Congress, other day America asset has won this war.
And we need to face that so and then you got last week the the
statement by Trump or tweet by Trump that America had finished
with ISIL. And we're going to pull out soon, very soon. And
then suddenly you go okay, I'm
very sorry. You've been waiting for us that we do need to leave
it there. I'm very sorry. Thank you very much. Indeed. More to
come on Sky News. Do stay tuned.
Sorry. We can have none of that go away. Please. We
don't want to hear we can't have that. No. I brought on the show
for a reason. A very specific reason. All right. I was in
second clip I wanted you to play because I kind of encouraged you
to once in a while I do this. I was hoping that you could get
queued up or you could queue up you going on? I think it was CNN
or one of these stations to talk about Michael Jackson and you
are cut off.
Yeah. Well, you should have had and that needs a little
production because it's really long that clip.
Yeah, okay. Well, that but you did this happened to you, which
is years ago, he probably was also
the last time I ever was ever on any cable news show ever. Yeah,
you
got killed?
Because I said, Hey, does anyone wonder if maybe Michael Jackson
was killed? And it wasn't? It wasn't just an accident. And
thank you very much. We're moving on that somebody else?
Yeah, exactly. Sorry.
That was my mistake.
Jesse Smollett, and just need to do a little follow up. There's a
couple things discuss. To review very quickly. All charges were
dropped through his connections. And by the way, it wouldn't have
been much different for any anyone else in his position,
famous or not, they could have received the same deal. The only
problem is he swears on his mother that he was telling the
truth. And everyone know, he knows he's lying. And that's
just a short ball thing to do. But his legal team continues
to support him play with police on the night of the attack that
his attacks is
the Today Show and speaking with him, one of his lawyers were
white,
he said they had masks on and gloves. But he saw their eyes
that he saw the skin surrounding their eyes. Was that a false
statement. So he just to be clear, he only saw one of the
attackers, one of them, he didn't see he saw one through a
ski mask again, he could not see their body, everything was
covered. And he had a full ski mask on except the area around
the eyes. He did tell police that he from what he saw he
thought it was pale skin or white or pale skin was I think
what he said and that was what he and that's why he initially
did have a hard time. Why did he say that? He could have said I
don't know? He could have but this again? He's the osundairo
brothers. What are the chances that that's the case that he saw
somebody with light skin? While you know I mean, I think there's
obviously you can disguise that you could put makeup on? There
is actually interestingly enough a video you know, I think police
did minimal investigation. In this case it was it took me all
of five minutes to Google. You know, I was looking at the
brothers and one of the first videos that showed up actually
was one of their brothers and white face doing the Joker
monologue with white makeup on. And so it's not it's not
implausible.
I love this story. It just doesn't get any better. Oh man
for a hate crime hoax to be perpetrated by two black guys
who are in on it and then to be accused of putting on white face
underneath ski masks, just to make sure the hooks look real.
And this it's it's just a beautiful story. And it's it
will go away and then I don't know what will happen with
Jesse. Jesse small let last night. Now I think this was just
coincidence that I said he'll probably win an NAACP award. And
I guess he was already nominated. So maybe I maybe I
read it somewhere but it came as possible. It came off the top of
my head. But these were last night and Chris Rock was the
only person I guess Who said anything about it.
present an award. They said no Jussie Smollett jokes. No, I
know what a waste of light skin you know what I could do with
that light skin. Curly hair my career would be A fucking run in
Hollywood
very subtle what he's doing there by the way, but I do
appreciate it and that's something knowing that you and I
can't even say these things but he can
fucking run in Hollywood guess No, no, no Just what the hell
was he thinking? From now on, I never know just you Jesse from
now. You don't even get the you know mo that you was respects
you don't get no respect from me.
All right, Chris. Chris Rock knows how to kind of deal with
it in his in a comedic way. Yeah. And now we can all say
Jesse Smollett. So thank you Chris rock that was complicated
for us white people. In Chicago, the mayor, the police and was so
pissed off. I guess the police said, well, it cost us 130 grand
you got to pay us for it. And we'll see what happens with
that. Rahm Emanuel was the mayor initially very, very angry. And
Rahm has an interesting connection to lots of people
Obama in particular, and so small that he has his wife is
good friends with a Tina Chen, who is involved in this, who was
also he's also connected to Hollywood. Well, his brother,
Ari Emanuel runs William Morris Endeavor. So it's a very, very
connected group. And he was initially incredibly pissed off.
And he is but now he's been able to do a combination, where he
says, Oh, just sorry, Jesse Smollett is wrong, horrible
hoax, but we all know who's really to blame.
Look, I've always said from day one, this is a Trump free zone,
the city of Chicago and I mean it. Let me be really clear about
something. The only reason Jussie Smollett thought he could
take advantage of a hoax about a hate crime is for the
environment, the toxic environment that Donald Trump
created. This is a president who drew a moral equivalency between
people who are trying to perpetuate bigotry and those who
are trying to fight bigotry as somebody who started his own
journey on politics, fighting the Neo Nazis in Skokie, and
then down to Marquette Park.
Now I like this I like where he goes from racism, to
discrimination to Judaism to anti semitism. He's all over the
map.
President Trump should literally take his politics, move it
aside, he's created a toxic environment. Now he's created a
toxic, vicious cycle. In my view, the only reason Jesse
Smollett thought he could get away with this hoax about a hate
crime is because of the environment President Trump
created. We can go back to Virginia. This is a person who
said, and I quote, there are good people on both sides.
I grew up getting really tired of people doing this. He's said
Rahm Emanuel is lying here. And he's trying to make it sound
like it's true, but it's not to
Virginia. This is a person who said, and I quote, there are
good people on both sides. Well, let me break the news to the
President. There are not good people on both sides. He doesn't
even get the quote right. It was fine people. And he specifically
excluded the Neo Nazis and racists from it if you looked at
the whole quote, what you're quoting what you're misquoting
people who perpetuate advanced the causes of hate. I say this
as a Jewish American. Who knows what that means? My
recommendation is the president, go to Opening Day Baseball, sit
on the sideline. Stay out of this, you created a toxic
environment and all of us who are trying to make sure that we
share a set common set of values that embrace and welcome people
of all walks of life and backgrounds.
Sounds to me like Rahm is more pissed off about a number of
Democrats making anti semitic statements in the environment
Trump is created or maybe in the environment Democrats elected
then Jessie small a question that
comes to my mind is who they who came up to me said, Hey, you're
getting off script here with this little anger thing of
yours. You got to pull it back, rein it in, and let's blame
Trump for something.
Yeah, well, I think it's connection say enough. It looks
like a lot of people called Rahm
Obama being one of them.
I remember hate Trump is good.
So they fake hate crime. There's some guy on Twitter I should get
his his. I think his last name was NGOs. Which I don't know how
to pronounce but I think of some Southeast Asian NGO thing guy
who just documents one of these things after another these fake
hate crimes. And it's really important to do one of And
instead of just targeting small lead for, for doing it and
condemning him, they blame Trump. It's just crazy.
No, it's the playbook. It's what we do. And meanwhile, and I'm
pissed off about this, I would have at least liked to have
known about it so I could have participated once again, because
we have no news. We missed Earth our
what partial falls over Hong Kong has cities around the world
take part in a global event to push for action on climate
change, and other man made threats to the planet. Earth
Hour has grown steadily since the first event in 2007.
Organizers say it is now marked in more than 180 countries and
territories around the world. The Eiffel Tower in Paris and
Rome's Colosseum are among the instantly recognizable landmarks
that switched their lights off for the 13th edition of the
event, which is organized by the Environmental Group WWF. This
year, nearly 200 major landmarks were plunged temporarily into
darkness.
Listen to them, those fools. They're celebrating the
inevitable, which is rolling blackouts once once we get it
celebrating rolling by. Next,
it's one big rolling blackout. That's what this and that's what
where we're headed with your wind and solar.
Now, I think that this is an opportunity, at least if someone
wants to do a script. But I think in reality, some criminals
should be planning that's time to plan some robberies.
Well, I didn't even know it was happening.
I know what isn't neither apparently the criminals. I
don't
think the criminals knew it either. No one knew about it.
Oh,
yeah, make more out of these things. And it's actually but
this gets the biggest of the group.
So I got just we'll stick with the green New Deal just for a
second. Okay, I got this. This is new. It's a blitz. It's an
AOC. Blitz round. It's all very short, which is done purposely
and that was one of our producers did that when they
were very happy about otherwise I would have skipped this
segment. She had the big, the big green New Deal townhall and
MSNBC. Change takes courage. Change. Take guts. Fire. rabble
rouser. Sometimes we call her the architect of chaos champion
for change. She is on several key policy issues in her first
week.
Whatever you think of her, you can't ignore.
This is the fight for our lives. This is the fight of our lives.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez with Chris Hayes, Sunday, and on
MSNBC.
So I did watch a portion of this. I think she did very well
for her audience and her audience is all in all in on
everything. And we are I mean, all in on stuff like this.
On the events of September 11 2000 1000s of Americans died
in one of the in the largest terrorist attack on US soil. And
our national response. Whether we agree with it or not, our
national response was to go to war in one then eventually, two
countries. 3000 Americans died in Puerto Rico in the aftermath
of Hurricane Maria. Whereas our response
is see it's it's tailor made for this audience. And they and they
love it. And they're all in on it. And yes, but don't
they know that the deaths in Puerto Rico were just a
population? The normal if you take a population that size over
a period of time, deaths, how many people are going to die
naturally?
Well, now you're trying to bring in logic and remember, logic is
elusive. So no, that's not what people think that they listen to
the 3000 Dead 3000 Dead and they think yes, you know what,
Alright, stop here. I've noticed a problem with humanity.
Real logical,
well, I'm going to work backwards from headlines. And
most people today who say they're informed are reading
headlines and headlines of course, more often than not are
really do not portray what the story is, but we're witnessing a
state of data compression within the human within human
cognition. And this came to me I was watching some YouTube videos
yesterday, and it doesn't matter whether it's Paul Joseph Watson
or or just some ditzy YouTuber, I guess maybe even PewDiePie
they all do the same thing. Which to me when I first saw it
happening years ago, and I think Ze Frank started it with the
show was the jump cut, the jump con where you you pretty much
every single sentence you say, you say the sentence and then
you cut out every breath anything thing that was said in
between it you jump right to the next sentence. Would you say
that started was a frank like 10 years ago?
I'm not absolutely sure who sure who it's who started. But we
have discussed this on the show, and it annoys me to no end. And
when I was Oh, actually, we talked about after one show, I
think that's what it was. And you talked about you at that
time to express some of your concerns, you're noticing that
it now is actually required,
it is required. And so when I when I brought this theory to
Tina, yesterday, and I said, You know what I'm talking about? No,
and I showed her videos. Oh, of course, I've taught this is what
everyone does, is it? What do you call that says bad editing.
So that's what I would call it. That's what John would call it.
But it is required, it is required for the same reason
that people listen to the no agenda show at 1.5 or two times
speed. It is the same reason that people use emojis, it is
the same reason that people just like in text messages, one line
return next line return, it's the same thing. People are
compressing and seek seeking different ways of technology to
compress the information and get as much in as possible. I don't
know if that's healthy. I don't know if it's good. I don't know
if it works. But it is happening. And that is why you
get people all excited about a headline, because that's all
they're that's all they're processing everything. If people
want more, they crave more, they're jamming it in and and
the media has adopted to this. And Twitter is a perfect another
perfect example. All these short form things really one line, not
a paragraph one line, boom, next line, boom. That is how people
want to consume information. And this is why we have a completely
illiterate population population. And I'm sure there's
an exit strategy in this knowledge for a somewhere I
don't know. But this is what people are doing. And it's quite
frankly, when you look at the type of information people are
consuming, and the jump cuts in the end the process. Ben
Shapiro, I think part of his success is if that's what people
want, they want Oh, yes, give me give me that. And who else does
this? Who else gives you the information in one sentence
remark? Memorable? Little beautiful bits, little nuggets?
Who does that? Trump? There's something going on? Now, I'm
amazed that people
just lost it all modern, that's for sure. Yeah. And it being
postmodern from my theoretical perspective on the whole matter.
It and and your comment that it's required to be to have this
form and every talking head on YouTube, I've never seen one
that doesn't use it. No one's out there just calmly speaking
to it bit by bit, bid bid, bid their head jerk and all that was
a screen now. It is. It is required. You're right. It's
some sort of a postmodern function. And I'm not sure. I
kind of just go with it as such as such, and then as such, well,
but I don't know what it means. I don't know how it affects the
public, but the public seems to demand and I think people are
overlooking, when it comes to this sort of thing that they
kind of want this because they're everyone to public is
postmodern, and they don't know that. That's why they vote for
Trump. Well, the other side is clueless about all of us. Yes,
very clueless.
But, but the thing this, it really hit home for me. When I
thought about why are people listening to our show at high
speed? Now it's like, I consider what we do art. So for me, it's
like you go in to see the Mona Lisa. And you just you jog by
it, you know, if I if I can make a little comparison between the
show and the classic piece of art, but it's because people
can't stand the pauses they are correct. So that's not a
production choice. That's a consumption choice. I believe
overcast the thing, the app that Marco makes it it will leave
your playback speed the same but he chops the spaces out for you
creating the jump cut because it is a demand from the audience.
They can't stand wasting a nanosecond of time. It's
interesting,
but it gives them more time to do some online gaming. Well,
I'm not saying we're using our compression techniques wisely,
but it is taking place. So anyway, I'll give you a couple
of compressed nuggets from AOC from her green New Deal thing on
MSNBC.
We've got 12 years to turn it around. Yeah,
there you go. And this one, we are
going to be the frog in In a pot of boiling water,
and now you're not you know exactly what it was. That's it.
That was her whole thing.
Well, she, her presentation skills are improving. She's
remembering the script better. And it was obvious that Chris
Hayes was Isaac Hayes, Chris Hayes, I can't remember who says
Chris Hayes is right, Chris. Hey, Chris Hayes was not going
to go off script and asked her some hard out of the blue
question that she couldn't answer because she wasn't
scripted to answer it, which is the way to go with her. Because
then she'll go nuts with some, you know, credibly stupid
commentary.
I think they were trying to actually achieve something. Hey,
you have to remember these people believe in this. They
believe in it?
Yes, they do. They do believe they're believers,
even though they do not adhere to it. And I guess they kind of
like maybe they kind of made the dome but I don't know what it
is. We don't believe in it. We're not we're not we don't buy
it. Let's put it this. It's not a it's not a religion. We don't
buy into the phony baloney, we've seen no evidence of what
they claim. So I think that's kind of what we what we take and
we've been following this from from the very first scandal of
the real climate and
event of the original concept we used to always say, or I did for
sure. Why do they want to do cap and trade? Yeah. Do you have a
neutral result? If you really want to stop everything from
happening? You do cap only but that's by the way that far left
progressives had been saying this from the beginning to why
you know if this is all true, why are we doing cap and trade?
It makes no sense.
But that's not even that's not even on the table anymore.
That's not even just no one even cares. Now it's just Carbon Tax
just not even it's just a do something Hell do something. Go
back to the Paris Paris Accord. Yeah, we're gonna die back to
the Paris accord. That's, that's all that it is.
Well, it's gotten pretty bleak. It's extremely
weak.
So I had a I got an off the wall clip. Okay. So this reminded me
of another clip, and you might get a clue what that other clip
is, and maybe have it at the ready. Okay. Pelosi is in their
chat up something. She's up to the Democrats. And she says
something profound, or she thinks is profound. And she
literally requests, requests applause. Where
does she say? That's an applause line. I've heard her say that in
the past that what she does here,
we're going forward with protecting the pre existing
condition and making HC health care more affordable act. That's
a line for a clause
Please, yeah, please, clap. I just thought it was so lame. And
as you giggles
it's not giggling it's something else. It's like a nervous thing.
It's weird.
She's weird.
Did Lyft go public? Yeah. So they did IPO? Yeah. How'd they
do?
The store? I think the IPO did 72 If I'm not mistaken. And then
they jumped jumped to 80. Oh, wow. And then it settled back.
And I believe it's trading higher than it then it was
released that
so I kept this from from last week. We didn't get to it on on
Thursday. On Sunday. I'm sorry. Thursday. Caught on because I'm
a mess. On Thursday. Sunday. Yeah, third today, Sunday
Thursday. I know. Just before I left was going to IPO and Uber
is going to IPO and what did they do?
I was I've been suffering very recently with harsh, harsh
driving conditions as far as the pay is concerned. And it's just
been made a lot harder with this recent 25% pay cut.
Yeah, so they cut the drivers from 90 cents a mile to 60 cents
a mile. And they can't these guys can barely make money as is
just before the idea at Uber and Lyft to
know about that.
Uber for sure. Um, I believe, I think Lyft did the same thing.
Lyft Yeah, a lot lifts IPO as successful as put it that way.
Right. And you Uber wanted to see what happened. They wanted
to they this is a mistake, by the way. I don't remember the
name of the company. But there was just before the it wasn't
a.com crash but there was another previous crash in the
80s and there was a sixth downturn. During the Atari game
era, where the you know, these blocky games that used to sell
there was some company that had a whole bunch of hot games ready
to come out and they decided to put off their IPO a week or two
to see something going on from someone else and then the whole
economy took a dive All the companies went downhill they
never got their IPO up or went broke, never got out there I got
out and Uber should not have you know, they said, well, let's see
what happens with Lyft. So we can to open to nickel and dime,
you know, push it up a little more, maybe make it do a better
IPO or I don't know what they were thinking sounds like a
fractal. You might have pre IPO before Lyft
is a fractal. You might want to check that out. Which company
did that I liked the idea of this coming around and Uber
never getting out before some kind of crash happening.
Yeah, it would be funny. I will look into it. It reminds me
another one. There's other two other examples of this kind of
screwing up I've Friendster. Yep, had the opportunity to do I
was sell a buyout, and I never did anything. And then there was
that that one company that was just kicking everyone's butt
called news point or something point. And it was the one that
fed news into your computer constantly. Oh, no, no, no, that
was it the word point and oh, my
gosh, hold on. It was the screensaver that we've talked
about this before. It was one of the first kind of streaming news
applications, it was a screensaver. And everyone loved
it. Because you could select different though they loved it
pointing point, point cast, point cast. And everyone loved
it until everyone in the company had it. And you know, we were
still on like one. I don't like half of you guys shared T one
line for the whole comp if that and it would update everyone's
computer update the same time and the network come to a
screeching halt. It's like,
tune up everybody's local bandwidth. That's what I'm
saying. Our own network at the office came a screeching halt.
Spit their network? No, we came to a screeching halt at our
office.
Yeah, and it would be taking it off. And but they were offered a
bunch of money because I knew one of the guys that was
involved in that if they mess
up, I have a feeling they messed that up. Didn't they mess that
up point? I think so I think they messed it up.
It was millions left on the table course. A lot. So I mean,
Uber is susceptible to this.
I've seen no but lifted have a successful IPO, which means Uber
should have won, but they're going to have to probably they
can't do another same type of IPO the day after, but they
should get that thing in line and do it like
they're gonna have the personal drones, John, there's so much
better. So there'll be landing everywhere, right here, downtown
Austin, the land on the roof. It's great. You autonomous
drones. Yeah, fairy dirt, man, fairy dirt. I've been tracking
the credit companies and apps. And more producers have been
tracking this as well, I told you earlier about Credit Karma,
which is majority shareholders, Google, they have all the
information on you. And if you think that the Chinese are nuts
with their social score, your credit score is the American
version. And I'm sure we'll have theirs. If not already, there
will be comparable applications and companies in the rest of our
listening area all around the globe. And if you have one, I'd
like to know about it. So just like we predicted that the
insurance companies would soon want you to track your driving
behavior, we see all state, download the app get a better
rate, because the app allows them to track how fast you're
driving, where you're driving, if you're speeding if you're
driving erratically. So that has already taken place. And I think
people kind of understand that they're being tracked and, and
there, but it's not really being tracked, you're being taught how
to behave, it is modifying your behavior. And that's what these
these credit apps are doing. So we have experienced one of the
three who collectively have the advantage score, which has
nothing to do with your FICO score has nothing to do with
your credibility, according to the banks, your credit
worthiness, that is the fic o score. That is not what this is
you're being hoodwinked, if you think it is, it's just a credit
score that they make up. And they make it up from their own
data, we could do it too, we could have no agenda score and
not a problem. But the way they're marketing this, again,
without telling you that they will get you access to more cash
to borrow, if you only behave in the right way. And sometimes
that behavior is just starting by installing the app.
Hey, so do you have any last minute advice?
Well, you're gonna be spending money on more than diapers. So
you should raise your credit scores instantly with Experian
boost instantly. Yeah, and it's free to you finally get credit
for paying all those utility bills. You can but don't you
already better now and only with Experian boost.
Get better credit cards
boost your credit scores instantly. It's free and only
experian.com/boost.
See, I like this. They call it a boost, they control the score.
So just by downloading it, you already have, they'll say, Oh,
your scores already improved. And then they it's, it's telling
you pay the utility bills. And when you pay the utility bills,
apparently first or if you're maybe behind on one, then it
will reward you with your score going up, and then you will get
more credit available on your credit card. I think this is a
very Wow, she has a very, very, very evil plan and it's being
marketed while this is a young father but it's being marketed
to teenagers and Zoomers and it says incredibly evil
Well, I wasn't even keeping track of any of this
once you know what the scam is once you know the score and
again, it's getting you to change behavior. drive better.
Okay, I'm driving better because I get a cheaper deal. pay this
bill first. Oh, then you can get more money. You can get more
credits, you can buy more diapers or whatever it is.
Usually, you know, you see the scene change in your house,
upgrade your car upgrades, girlfriend upgrades, everything
upgrades. This is behavioral manipulation. And I just want
everyone to be aware of it. We like to we also work on these
types of neuro linguistic programming so we do it with
jingles.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
that's true.

Okay, wandering through the problem is I'm thinking about
Greece and adapt but I'm wondering if it's just because
it's an old chair. This is an old chair I bought I mentioned
this to you off the podcast. Turns out to these chairs you
bought a couple of them for like 20 bucks or 10 bucks or
something like that at some giveaway like 20 years ago and
they're extremely comfortable. It turns out they're collectible
now and Jay showed me a picture they're going for 350
bucks that means you can't grease it up.
Well I'm not sure it's got a plastic bottoms of fiberglass
chair with a comfy cushion. I think it's the fiberglass itself
that's creaking
Oh yeah, that's what problem mold was
some some something out Oh, oh, I think it's just creaking. And
I'm, I'm wondering if I can. I don't know.
Well, we'll just have to live with it. I mean, it's only a
podcast, great podcasting. You don't hear this over on any
gimlet media produced shows. I'm just,
they they have Top Gear. They're the best
closet, somewhere in the closet. And John's on a on a chair from
the 30s. Podcast. That's our podcast, everybody. Well, I
didn't think CNN would do it. But they did a pretty detailed
report of the problem at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Good for them. I think that's surprised me. And the reason why
is every single fact check network has this Southern
Poverty Law Center in its midst, which is now just scandal ridden
to two minute report but worth the listening to the mainstream
take.
Since its inception, the group has fought for equal rights
against some of the more infamous hate groups of our
generation, like the kk k. But two current employees told CNN,
the Southern Poverty Law Center fell short and guaranteeing
equality for its own staff. The employees we spoke to would not
go on camera out of fear of retaliation, but one told CNN,
the SPLC suffers from a systemic culture of racism and sexism
within its workplace. A second employee agree it's an
environment one of the sources says where black employees are
not being promoted despite being qualified. a workplace where a
woman is made to feel she is not seen or heard, said one
employee, my boss only hires white people. But now some
employees say the group has to practice what they preach. It's
bad when employee speaking on condition of anonymity said the
rank and file are deeply divided. The employee describes
the current upheaval at the SPLC as a revolution against the
organization's longtime leadership initiated by
employees tired of seeing the pervasive culture exist and go
unchallenged by those in charge. The SPLC declined CNNs request
for an interview. They did not respond to the specific claims
made by some of their employees to CNN. But they did send this
response from his board of directors chair Brian fair. We
acknowledge and take very seriously the significant
concerns that our talented and deeply committed staff have
raised
at the Law Center. We say the solutions to these issues
involving Race and Justice is not simple.
The claims come after the firing of co founder Morris Dees on
March 13. The SPLC says the 82 year old was terminated after
two separate investigations into alleged misconduct, they would
not be more specific citing privacy of personnel matters.
Hi, Morris. My name is Nick Valencia MPs did not respond to
multiple attempts to reach them about his termination. An SPLC
spokeswoman said in a statement regarding Dees firing, no one no
matter that person's position at the SPLC will be exempt from
scrutiny and accountability. After DS came the resignation of
Richard Cohen, the longtime president of the organization,
Cohen did not return calls and Assaf email Cohen stepped down
after 16 years at the helm. We've heard from our staff that
we need to do a better job of making sure that our workplace
embodies the values we espouse truth, justice, equity and
inclusion he wrote, while some of our sources have been
critical of the culture at the SPLC, they acknowledged that the
organization has done important work and shedding light on
extremism. CNN spoke to one woman who said a lot of the
claims were greatly exaggerated. I'm completely happy here. We
have many women in leadership. But in recent days, the SPLC is
female legal director also resigned. We reached her, but
she would not comment.
Rats leaving the ship. Joey off.
I have a different take gun.
I know. And I like that I like that you have a different take
on it. The only reason why I'm surprised or a little arc that
is not discussed is the Southern Poverty Law Center is at this at
the center of every single bit of the fake news story. And
specifically Facebook, which I have another clip about. They
are the ones that are supposed to be that tagging people who
are bad.
Yeah, bad, you're bad. Well, here's what I think happened.
First of all, you can't say you can't make this putt. This CNN
is foolish. They say the probably the black, none of the
black people wherever they are, even though they were qualified.
They were never promoted or ever got to raise his or whatever
they didn't get. And then the next sentence is he only hires
white people. Right? How did the black guy get in there? And by
the way, when I see the representatives, they seem to be
from South Asia, India and Bangladesh she types. Anyway,
here's what I think happened to this place. It fell apart from
his own success and I would associate this with gimlet
casting and Advan the people going
all of you right, yes, this is the it's the revolution eating
itself in a way
So what happened with the Southern Poverty Law Center is
that some a couple of years ago, somebody sent me a little memo,
one of our producers sent me a memo outlining this, they, they
decided that they're going to have to get to get some more
money in their coffers, because everybody's working their asses
off it is. It's a work for love for work kind of place.
Everybody's happy as a clam. And so they say we're going to do
we're going to get a war chest of $50 million, and we're going
to spend all of our time. And once we get to 50 million, then
we're going to go you know, get back to work. And they got $50
million in donations. Very sad. They went, Hey, that was fun.
That's exactly what happened. And they said, that's where we
got the 50. Let's get, let's get 100. And they got 200. Yeah. And
then they got 200. And then they got a war chest of $400 million.
And they were just having the time of their lives and all the
employees around. They're going, Hey, wait a minute. Hey, we're
not getting any of this. We still have to volunteer for
this. We're getting minimum wage. Yes, you got $400 million
in the bank and we're just working our asses off here. And
yes, you're not sharing any of this same with gimlet
podcasting. And so they didn't have the they didn't share the
wealth and they got roasted.
I think that's a very decent analysis. I've nothing to argue
with it whatsoever. The right do
this you a volunteer, you kind of have semi volunteer do gooder
organization. And all of a sudden you get so greedy, not
salary, you can really fundraise and who knew
that there are there are proper that are registered nonprofit or
a 5013 C corporation with a hell of a lot of money, which I think
which I think they should be forced to spend, by the way
most, most good nonprofits, you know, they have their own rules.
They certainly have their bylaws that they have to spend, you
know, they can't just rake it in and sit on it and put it in.
does exactly what they'll be
done on a lot of expensive vacations.
Oh, yeah. And which irks the worker bees even more. So right,
you're so right, well, it wouldn't
hurt to give the worker bees a free vacation or, you know, it
doesn't hurt to share though you don't have to be sitting on that
kind of money. Millions of dollars is a lot by anybody's
standards.
Well, they as I said, they are the center of the face bag,
content screening policy. So they help make up the rules
identify who's bad. Actually, Zuckerberg can see this, these
two clips go hand in hand. I'm kind of thinking which one I
shall play first. I think I'll play the Zuckerberg new move.
You know, I don't know where the stock is. I haven't looked at it
for a while but I think they're in deep, deep trouble. I think
people are running away from the service. As usual. The
stock has not gone down it and the DHS employee show we've had
a running gag about this horror which is always shorting it and
I say don't short it, don't share it in these always doesn't
work out.
Well. That's because it's not just Facebook. They have other
properties that are performing quite well that are not that
visible. But Zuckerberg has called for a global set of
rules. The
chief executive of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg has called for new
rules to regulate the internet.
Hey, go Marquis. This
just two weeks after a gunman used Facebook to livestream a
terror attack on mosques in New Zealand.
Whose idea was it to put live streaming on Facebook
encouraging this sort of thing? Because then your idea know,
whose idea was it Zaki? Oh, and then he's bitching about it?
Well, no, he's not bitching about it. I've I've learned from
our producers in New Zealand, that the media there is going
and I've said please send me some links. I need some clips.
They're going nuts that everything is now blamed on
social media, particularly Facebook, everything is
all Facebook's fault. Yeah, it's got nothing to do with anything
else. Okay, go on. No, of course not. But it's fun to watch New
Zealand. Well, Mr. Zuckerberg now says things must change. And
in a statement, he has called for regulation of what he
describes as harmful content online. So private firms can't
do this alone. He says there should be new rules related to
political advertising and the creation of common standards.
There should be effective privacy and data protection for
all users, with countries adopting a common framework. And
he's also called for data portability. That means people
should be able to move data from one service to another. Yeah,
yeah. No, you
can do that. Yeah,
but he's, he's just blowing wind blowing smoke up everybody's
skirt. No, no one last slide is the CEO. Thank you. He's toast
but he's doing something very interesting over there. On
Instagram, which is a Facebook property, and that is the
conflation of wars a conflagration conflation
conflagration of white supremacist and white
nationalist. These are now one in the same.
Now Facebook has announced that next week it will begin banning
white nationalism and white separatism content on both
Facebook. I'm sorry
for separate No, no, but I think this is interesting. I think
they say supremacy later on. I dive in misheard
any white separatists? Personally, no,
I isn't there. There's, I'm sure there's some small groups of
like, 10 guys in the woods somewhere. I've never met one.
No. But that doesn't matter. It just makes the white nationalist
sound that much worse, which is the that's the that's the idea
here.
Now, Facebook has announced that next week, it will begin banning
white nationalism and white separatism content on both
Facebook and Instagram, which controls how did white
separatism and white nationalism begin to flourish, they're in
the first place.
All of these platforms have really taken a hands off
approach. They really haven't policed white nationalism or
white separatism, to the extent that they have other extremist
movements. I mean, the New Zealand shooting, I think, was
hopefully an inflection point where it's becoming increasingly
clear that they have to crack down on this stuff, because not
only are they is this kind of extremist content running
rampant on the platforms, these platforms are facilitating its
growth. It's a big problem with Instagram, though, as opposed to
Facebook and Twitter is that a lot of these big white
nationalist figures, for example, there's a huge cadre of
people that are part of the identity Europa movement. This
is a white nationalist white supremacist movement. And
they're not exactly espousing ideas on Instagram, but they're
normalizing themselves. So a lot of them are adopting influencer
strategies where they're kind of actually just posting about
their lifestyle, posting themselves at nice events
dressed up, and people will follow some of these white
nationalist figures aspire to their lifestyle, and then they
end up becoming introduced to their ideas. You know, they'll
go ahead and Google them, they'll start watching their
YouTube videos, they'll start reading content on a blog, maybe
they're more susceptible to that.
Okay, let me get this straight. So, apparently, the evil white
nationalists, white separatists, and she said, she said their
white supremacist Cheez Its slipped in there they are taking
the influencer model of just dressing up nice talking, going
to events, and just just kind of being a human being a nice
person. But because they're doing that and so sneaky, then
you know, you'll probably Google them and you'll probably get
sucked into a world where you feel at home. Fuck people
looting. That's NPR to that's NPR?
Yeah, well, NPR is lost cause it's really it's just in our
lifetime of our show. We have watched NPR DIE, DIE last cause
Yes,
you're right.
It started when we first started using that clip but that woman
who was the CEO of NPR who's still floating around that dead
talked about advertising, as NPR is one of their fundamental ways
of making money.
I think I think I have that one here. Rich Rodriguez. No, that's
not it. It's no we play that so often. It's an advertising now
it's sponsorship whatever right whatever advertise you.
Underwriting underwriting that's what it was underwriting. Yeah,
why can I find that that really pisses me off? Oh, Jesus. Didn't
mean to. It makes me mad. It was
my mellow.
It was NPR, whatever you want to call it? Here it is. Call it
now. I know why it's mislabeled. Okay, moving on to money.
How are NPRs corporate underwriting revenues holding up
in the recession? And what about foundation grants
to different stories? Underwriting is underwriting is
is down it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is this is
the area that is most down for us is is in is in sponsorship,
underwriting advertising, call it whatever you want.
There it is. Vivian Schiller, Vivian Schiller, yes. Who's
still out and about doing things that are similar. Sure.
Sure, we're the schmucks. Yeah, we are. We're the ones that are
doing it
all wrong, squeaky chair because
we got, you know, stringing up wires and closed pins to get it
on the stream. Oh, if only we could begin that. Okay,
Venezuela I have two clips on Venezuela. I'd like to share I
don't know if you have anything else
I you know, I thought I'd have a clip on Venezuela. I got to the
Gaza protest quite well, I got a pre clip I want to play this and
get it out of the way. Okay, just so we know this is going on
because PBS only one seems to be reporting on it. cholera in
Mozambique. Oh, it's about
time.
In Mozambique, the number of cholera cases among cyclone
survivors has risen to 271. Double yesterday's total. The
new cases are in the city of Barrow, where a half million
people are at risk of contracting the disease that is
spread by contaminated food and water and can kill within hours.
The World Health Organization said 900,000 Cholera vaccine
doses are expected to arrive on Monday.
Along with the UN Yeah, blue
helmets. You know what that brings? US right brings extra
cholera. The president issued an executive order to prepare for
an electric electromagnetic pulse attack. Really, yes. He
did executive order on coordinating national resilience
to electromagnetic pulses. He did. You have pretty much the
same response as the Washington Post. The Washington Post said
you don't need to worry about a nuclear emp, here's why. And
then they go straight into
I didn't have that tone of voice. No.
They went straight into James Bond like stuff that President
Trump believes the danger of an EMP is not just a Hollywood plot
device. He recently announced an executive order meant to protect
the United States from emp directing federal agencies to
coordinate the testing, planning guarding against its risks.
And they don't think is anything wrong with that sort of safety
precaution.
But they poopoo it like I said, he's he's fantasizing now about
James Bond stuff. He knows more than we do. That's what I'm
always worried about when Trump, why would he come out of the
blue and issue this?
Well, he's always well, maybe it's got something to do with
aliens. We never talked about that enough.
Well, yeah, sorry. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you're right. But you
know, there's not been any good stuff going on. It's kind of
mainstream. Flat Earth didn't land on the moon. Although,
wait, where was this? There was an actual article, or that was
the worst. It was an article about this was an article that
basically said, If you believe in these things, then you're not
job. Here it is. No, no, no, no, no. Here's why it's better than
this. Here we go. This is from the New York Post. Okay. If
you're a birther or a 911 denier, chances are you aren't
much fun to be around. Well,
it depends if you have a podcast that's bull crap.
We've been saying this about our whack job uncle for years, but
now it's back and it's the whack job, uncle and it's backed up by
science. That's right. People who buy into outrageous
conspiracy theories say
like me, like Trump was a Russian spy, and we know who
you're talking to. No, no, no outrageous conspiracy theory.
Like Trump was a Russian spy. No, not
even close, like that no human has ever walked on the moon or
the ancient pyramids were built by aliens are more inclined to
actively engage in antisocial and yes, criminal behavior. Oh,
they're criminals. That's a good one. That's the main finding of
a team of psychologists from UK Staffordshire University and the
University of Kent, who investigated the wider impact
these paranoia fueled fringe beliefs can have on behavior.
Quote, our research has shown for the first time the role that
conspiracy theories can play in determining an individual's
attitude in everyday crime.
Yeah, the crime being you're given to the higher ratings to
the History Channel.
It demonstrates that people subscribing to the view that
others have conspired might be more inclined toward unethical
actions. Why? With a hate to hear comes with contemporary
conspiracy theories targeting everything from myths
surrounding the Mueller report to the chilling secret behind
Disney's Frozen. This cultural phenomenon is certainly right
from the exploration.
They slipped in a little pawn. Yes. The Disney. Yeah, yeah.
There's bad form. Yeah.
So there you go. more prone to criminal behavior? Well,
let's say well, it makes sense to me.
Let's hear from one. This is Elliott Abrams. He was he was
caught by the BBC to talk about Venezuela. And, and and I'm
doing AOC and the first clip here is well The obvious
Abrams, do you find it difficult to walk into a room as an art
acting as an honest broker when you have this very controversial
history in the region,
the United States is not trying to be an honest broker here. The
United States has a position which is this is a vicious
dictatorship that is destroying Venezuela, like your past in
your past, you supported dictatorships, authoritarian
governments that human rights, compromise your ability to, to
work in the situation,
you have not read the history of this. What we did in the Reagan
administration, what I did was to try to help the greatest tide
of turning from military dictatorship to democracy that
we've ever seen in Latin America. It's a record of
supporting democracy and the expansion of democracy, of which
we're very proud. Yeah,
of course, plays right into the aid stopped clip from PBS. Oh.
Here we go.
State Department announced today that it will suspend 2017 and
2018 payments to the three countries. The move comes one
day after President Trump threatened to shut down the US
Mexico border over immigration, and said that the cuts were
already in place.
I've ended payments to Guatemala to Honduras and El Salvador are
no money goes there anymore. We were giving them $500 million
dollars. We're giving them tremendous aid. We stopped
payment to Honduras, to Guatemala, and to El Salvador.
We were paying them tremendous amounts of money. And we're not
paying them anymore, because they haven't done a thing for
us.
Democratic members of Congress who were visiting El Salvador
today called the aid cut off quote, entirely
counterproductive.
Dan, that folds beautifully into the next clip, we go back to
Elliott Abrams with the aid with the BBC talking about all
options, including Well, you know what, still being on the
table
live, because the Russians flew into planes.
Venezuelans on the street I've been saying, looks like this is
gonna last a little bit longer. And I want to ask you, how does
Maduro know that all options on the table isn't bluster? I mean,
he he seems pretty convinced that he can wait you out on
this.
I think you're right that he is convinced of that are enormous
ly convinced of that and, and just thinks I'll just stay here,
the Americans will get bored and they'll go away. I remember a
guy named Manuel Noriega who thought the same thing the
Americans just go away. There's no reason for me to take a deal
and leave the country. He ended up in an American federal
prison. So my advice to people in Venezuela who think that all
options is kind of a joke or symbolic. It doesn't mean
anything. Don't test the president on it. There is a
still
so subtle threat. No.
But what are they have they got? No. Do they have any ammo left?
That doesn't, by the way, I find this to be I don't like the
sanctions either. I mean, not he's not a control. We're not
doing it. Right. This is a cluster. The big clusters
because the Neo cons have taken over if you haven't noticed,
they've slipped in ever since Bolton showed up. The whole
Trump administration has gone off the rails regarding his real
promises there. You have to remember when Trump ran he was
talking about the stupid Syrian war and why are we there in the
first place? Hey, hello, we're still there. Yeah, this is a lot
this is min is kind of a I'd say a fractal of Obama when he says
I'm going to the first thing I'm gonna do take it to the bank.
I'm going to get everyone out of Iraq and I'm going to show you
how to take that to the bank. Yep, most shut down get more you
never shut down get Mo and Trump edge because he got all these
Neo cons got into his administration. The Kagan's and
the Nudelman is all the rest of them. And it's the same thing
happening with Trump Bolton and some of the Abrams these guys
are all in bed together it's just not this is a plague these
people I don't know why Trump can't see it.
Yeah, there's something weird with that and it's not good for
people
that that's what we're stuck with at least we're watching
them
yes. All right. Do you have 111 More clip we can do we can get
out of here I got some cool
intro show mixes you guy got the protest and it's okay if we're
just done Oh, yeah, I got a piece I got the end of Alex
Jones his deposition Oh, on the Sandy Hook case that you see
headlines all over the place Alex Jones admits that he's like
insane it was insanity or some crazy yes
no, that he that he got Well, first of all, let's let's
explain what this is. Key is being sued for harassment. I
think also defamation by one or More parents of the Sandy Hook
harm this he's being sued for harm. Yeah, harm harm. And so
apparently his what I've read and again, this is just our
human compression algorithm, I pretty much read headlines. He
says I was just, I was insane. I got swept up in it. I didn't
know what I was doing. It was naughty. Is that what's
Yes, is there's a bit of that. But the real gist of the whole
thing and what you see for headlines is not reflect what
you're going to hear. Which is that Jones does it takes well
play
it how long a child whose parents lied to them over and
over again, will pretty soon they don't know what what what
reality is? Um, so so so long before these losses. I said
that, in the past, I thought everything was a conspiracy. And
I would kind of get into that mass group. Think of the
communities that were out there saying that so now I see that
it's more in the middle. And so that's where I stand. Mr. Jones?
Are you finally prepared to admit that you have indeed
caused these families a substantial amount of pain? Are
you prepared to admit that
I am not prepared to sign on to whatever you are the mainstream
media make up about me? All right,
Mr. Jones, I will have to be it. I'll see you next time.
Oh, well, hold on a second. That's a little different than
the headline. Yeah. Wait a minute. Let me just hear that
last video
prepared to admit that you have indeed caused these families a
substantial amount of pain? Are you prepared to admit that
I am not prepared to sign on to whatever you are the mainstream
media make up about me? All right,
Mr. Jones, I will have to be it. I'll see you next time. All
right.
So our people just passing Hedra is pretty pretty sketchy as to
what he actually meant.
The whole thing is a joke. I'll talk to David Jones as you know,
he's doing the best he can but he's right is whatever you make
up about him. That's he's not.
I'm gonna just what it is. I'll get the inside scoop from start
to do so for him. Let me know what's happening. Find out
what's really going on. And with that, we conclude our broadcast
day from the studio and the creaky chair. Because that's who
we are people no unions. No under the table payments still
aboveboard? It's all right there in the show notes and we like to
do it twice a week. We'll do another one on Thursday until
then, coming to you from downtown Austin Texas. As the

Coyne Nelson, we've got Tom Starkweather and microwaved wet
beach towel.
Listen to his story man a douche these mullet. a Hollywood star
being he kept his ego fed and one day he came up with the plan
said he got beat up in Chicago land gets blacks and gays Magga
hat next thing you know his story begins to stake social
justice warriors just don't know what the thing was a two white
guys who are going to take the rap the cops investigated it was
a load of crap lie that didn't happen. No, no,
no peach I've been truthful and consistent on every single level
since day one. I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of
one drop of what I was accused of. This has been an incredibly
difficult time. honestly one of the worst of my entire life
you see a group of people and there was without that black
thing going around there there's just like I say it's like a band
wearing yet that's usually someone who's an extremist super
super terrorist. Super super terrorist
super terrorists drone media don't draw me bro that's our
policy. If you walk like a terrorism talk like in tears
Dagnabbit you a Terrorist.
Terrorist. Super super terrorist so
he said throw me bro. If you were the president, then you're
sitting with me right now that's
true produce more than I promise true. It's true. That's true. Is
true is true. That's a such a true. So
in the summer, when the weather is, you can still try and find
your response. In the summer. You got to get you got to defend
on down, we should see what people find. If the stool is
hard, it'll roll out. If the stool is loose, just do what you
rep along the lane, bless the sidewalk or just go behind the
car. When the sun goes down, we all know the sing along with us.
Do you have a craft that? Bring your map, San Francisco.
I do want to respond in this way. You might think that's
okay.
They chose to hide behind secrecy and broke our deal.
My colleagues may think it's okay.
I think we're all a little confused. I'm confused. To be
perfectly honest with you. If I'm completely confused, you
might think it's okay.
Because of the judge's decision. None of that evidence will ever
be made public.
My colleagues might think it's okay.
Member states are reluctant to transfer you submit the powers
to the European Union. You might think it's okay. He proceeded to
plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head.
I don't think that's okay. We are getting
our first leaks from the Justice Department. You
might think that's okay.
People pay extra to get their kids in a special position in
universities. My colleagues may think it's okay. The former vice
president inappropriately touched and kissed her head. I
don't think that's okay. The West
I would start with our Comey, clapper Brennan and other people
in the FBI who perpetuated this absurd lie.
My colleagues may think it's okay.
They were not allowed to read the report we have we have a new
faith based justice as you might say, that's
all okay.
Democrats were playing to ride that conspiracy theory to
victory in the election next. You might think that
