Just tell me what's happening with your banana.
Adam curry Jhansi Devorah
Sunday March 1 2020. This is your award winning combination
media assassination episode 1200 21.
This is no agenda on stuck in
time and broadcasting live from opportunity's own 33 Here in the
frontier of Austin, Texas capital of the drone Star State
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, we're Joe Biden's back.
I'm John C. Dvorak. dragline. Buzzkill.
I gotta hand it to you. I had no idea. If you had said to me, Joe
Biden would win South Carolina with 50%. I know. No, you were
absolutely right about this. Yeah. However I did. I did learn
something about the primary elections in South Carolina.
I learned something which I didn't realize. Let me see I
have a note here for one of our producers.
Apparently, you do not have to declare or reveal your party on
the ballot when you vote. You can only vote for one candidate
in the primary. So from what I understand a lot of people who
would normally vote for Trump, since you know this kind of like
no contest for him on the Republican side, went in and
voted for Joe Biden.
Why would they not vote for Bernie?
I have no idea. I'm just telling you what I'm
guessing. I'm guessing I know you can do this cross ballot
stuff in many states. I didn't
know that. I had no idea. I thought that if only registered
Democrats can vote in the Democratic primary. I didn't
know if California
for example, if you're a registered Democrat, you can't
do that. Independents can vote Democrat if they want. The
Republican Party in California, for example, says no, you have
to be you can't do it. You can't come over here and vote with
with us. That's your but other states is just like it is in
South Carolina. So the way I saw it, in terms of it, swinging the
election, towards sleepy Joe, was I thought it would if you're
a Republican pulling that stunt, which is not uncommon. It I
think it would spread out a little bit more. I think Bernie
gets some I think Bloomberg would get some over Bloomberg or
get a ride right in I don't know. I just don't think that
the Republicans would be going all in for Biden. Although no, I
think they were doing that to me. He is the funniest guy. They
were understood as they're doing it to mess with Bernie by voting
for Biden. That's what I understood.
Yeah, well, I never heard be Devin had to be a concerted
effort. And I there was I got no wind of that. Oh, no, I
got a couple tweets about it. But that doesn't mean that
doesn't doesn't mean anything have
now I think you would have beat him anyway. But
well, good. I'm glad. I'm glad Joseph. I'm glad Joe is still in
the race. However, this is perhaps one of the saddest
couple of days he's had. I heard Kurt Vonnegut wrote
Slaughterhouse Five. And in that he introduced the concept of
unstuck in time, referring to a person living from one moment in
life to another instead of day to day like most people do, and
I think Joe is witnessing this in real time. And we're seeing
it we're seeing it happen with him. He has everybody has
programming, for instance, you can probably wake me up in the
middle of the night, and I can do the intro to the show
verbatim. As you know, I'll still say Thursday, even if it's
a Sunday, but it's it's a program, you can run it off. You
know, there's other things everybody's Adam curry, top 40
That's right. Do you want to you can do these things. And Joe has
done things about running for Senate and just the Senate is
somehow in his mind. I guess that was the only time he
actually, you know, he's he's never won a presidential race.
So he has won senatorial races. And maybe that's what stuck in
his head. But just got a couple examples that are just really
bothersome.
Well, I'm looking forward to appointing the first African
American woman to the United States.
I think he means Supreme Court. But there it is. He's going to
nominate someone to the Senate now we know that's not the way
it works. Here's another unstuck in time moment.
Now we need to stand behind Jamie the next is
I just if this were anyone else except the the person that the
establishment of the Democratic Party really needs for whatever
their strategy is. It would be ridiculed across the board. It's
now it's only us this See, no one else is ridiculing the fact
that he's just not 100% on board. I don't want my president
who is trumping me did be checked on the checklist as a
lie.
Oh, man, and we'll get to Coronavirus and the lies in a
bit. I do have another kind of odd example of, yeah, Biden.
He's talking about,
I got a couple of Biden's to for you
know, throw this one out, then we'll switch over
the last point. If you take a look at it, China, China is now
going to China. And that's not I'm not happy about this. China
doesn't have enough water wh er, they're talking about spending
10s of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars to try to
turn around the river so their population have potable water to
drink. 40% of their land is fluid, cadmium, they can't grow
things are in a situation where they have 2 million Uyghurs
Muslims in prison camps in the mountains. You saw what say you
see what's happening in Hong Kong. And now what they're
trying to do with regard to Thailand, folks, the idea the
idea that they are competition they're going to beat us is
bizarre.
Wow, Joe, wow, Joe. When it's water, WA T E R? Why? Why did he
spell Well, what? what possibly could I confuse water with? Or
is he just doing like, he has like, kinda like,
giving you a board like Tip of the day for that fine,
like, hip hop guy. I'm Joe to the beak and my wa T. Oh, what
TA? I don't know what he's doing.
What's he talking about?
I don't know. But I it's so it's, I really feel
uncomfortable about it. I mean, if you were making these minut
mistakes, I wouldn't make fun of you. No way I would when we're
talking about. It's better. It's just, I don't know what you got
on Joe.
Well, let's see what we got. I got a bunch of I guess. Firstly,
I think there was a joke clip here. I tried to bite and now
this is probably not, I don't think I have. I thought I get a
Joe clip that fell in I think I had yours. But let's listen to
some Biden analysis. This is the Biden when is a reset on CBS N.
Fun, I want to start with you. A grin on your face could not be
wider. Tell me what you're thinking right.
Now, a couple of things that said from the very beginning of
this process, South Carolina will be the place that will set
the tone and temperature for this race. I think everyone can
agree with that now, because of the participation from the most
loyal constituency in the country, African American
voters. Number two, I said this, it was always Joe Biden's race
to lose and everyone else has been fighting for second place.
And I also said this loyal African American voters are
going to show up and they're going to display their loyalty
to Joe Biden, because Joe Biden has been loyal to them. And lo
and behold, Elaine, I think I'm right. I told you
let me ask you know, Antoine. So is that it is a win a win or as
we get more numbers in is that something though that on all
seriousness, because we saw what happened in the other early
states, people are going to be still examining pretty closely.
There's several things to look at from Joe Biden's victory
tonight. Number one, he's moved up to second place in the
delegate count. So that means and we all know this is a game
of numbers. Delegates are important that mean he's behind.
Now, Bernie Sanders are number delegates. Number two, I think
he will end up having a very handsome victory tonight. And
the strength of African American voters, it's going to be
important setting a tone for those type of voters and Super
Tuesday. And number three, you know, I like to connect sports
and politics together. The Golden State Warriors won the
NBA championships. I don't remember and I'm sure you do not
remember even the score, but all you knows they won the
championship. So tonight, Joe Biden won his championship. This
is the first time he's won a primary or caucus. I think this
is a reset moment for this campaign.
No, okay. Not quite sure I understand the analogy or the
logic but
fine. Well, I don't understand where he's going. But the
Warriors warriors that come into play. But he did this guy, this
good black guy he was amenable. He did predict all this, like a
couple of days ago and who was he? He's a guy that's a CBS
analyst. He's you know, I'm sorry. He does work for CBS n.
And he is a Democrat strategist.
The Oh, there was a excuse me, was it it was wrong Friday or
Friday or Saturday, the New York Times published a piece. What
maybe that was just Thursday. I can't remember now, where they
interviewed, I think 95 of the 500 super delegates. And 93 of
the 95 they spoke with said, Oh, well, you know, we're totally
gonna make sure that Joe Biden wins or I think what they were
more specific about was make sure Bernie does not win in some
version of a second round. superdelegate come swooping in
or contest night called a contestant. convention. And I
thought that was pretty rude. Just for the for the process
itself. I mean, that was that's the New York Times really
mucking around,
taking all the New York Times stories nowadays as
comical but what it does is it feeds into the machine. Here's a
little Supercuts of the media's response and how they talk about
this particular article. This is
what people need to remember, the Democratic Party has a
party, the party decides its nominee, the public doesn't
really desire to nominate the public as the vote for president
united states, but people who are active in a party who
participate in the party, they decide to nominee and just
because you're a pledge delegate for Bernie Sanders or please
delegate for Joe Biden doesn't mean when you get to the
convention floor, that you will stay a delegate for Biden or
Sanders 93
Democratic Party officials are willing to have a brokered
convention. If Sanders does not receive the majority of
delegates by convention, time, they're
also willing to risk damaging the party to stop his
nomination. The Times notes that such a situation may result in a
brokered convention, a messy political battle, the likes of
which Democrats have not seen since 1952. When the nominee was
advised Stevenson I can't
imagine the rebellion among his supporters, if he doesn't get
the nomination there would be
but his supporters helped write those rules.
The way I see this, is you write the rules, before you know where
everybody stands. And then you stick with those rules.
Everybody got in the race thinking that was the set of
rules, I don't see how come you get to change it just because he
now thinks there's an advantage to him for doing.
This is not a done deal. And so that's why I think we should
tamp down on the anxiety about Bernie Sanders, and figure out
how it is that we're going to get to a nominee and have a
convention, or we all do come out as a unified party. And if
somebody wants to beat Bernie, get out there and beat him, for
Pete's sake,
it looks like it's entirely possible, Bernie Sanders would
have a significant plurality, but not a majority of the votes.
And he said, If that's true, he demands the nomination. Other
people are saying we'd like to deny it to
you, Bernie made this mess for himself. And he has to live by
those rules. And if we have someone if he's one delegate
ahead, or than somebody else, that doesn't make you the
majority winner in all of this, and he's got to face his own
rules,
you're gonna have two or three candidates going into the
convention that are probably going to be really strong.
That's why even Bloomberg has been talking behind closed
doors, with the super delegates already to try to go ahead and
maneuver himself into a good position if Biden should fail,
and Bernie is the nominee, he can swoop in and be the savior
for the party.
I don't understand exactly how this went down. It's something
doesn't make sense. What I keep hearing is, the rules were
changed. It was requested that Bernie Sanders made he was
there, he wanted these change. I don't know if that's true. But
that's what's being said. And when the question was posed,
posed, specifically to the candidates, Bernie said, Well,
you know, if I got the most votes, I should be the
candidate. What if something is made the candidate somewhere
someone's telling a half truths? Or I'm not quite understanding
maybe these rules? I
understand. I'll tell you what I think, are my understanding, I
think the rule, the major rule change that was made was to take
the super delegates out of the first round. Yeah. And that was
Bernie's thing, because he felt he got screwed on a deal last
time, because of the super delegates being in the first
round. Right. So they're in the second round, as Bernie wanted.
But and, and the rules have always, as far as I know, have
always been for the majority. I mean, you can't have a Adly
Stevenson or anybody, for that matter. The rules have always
been you have to have the majority of the delegates in the
first round. And that will do remember last year, Trump Oh,
Trump will never make it. He won't make the free will make
enough delegates, he won't get the nomination convention. And
he just wrapped it so. So that's always been in place. The only
change was this super delegate thing. And Bernie knows that if
that comes into play, he's done. Just like last time, none that
now maybe he'll change the rules again, in his 80s for new runs
again, well, and he's gonna say let's move the super delegates
to the third round,
maybe he can pick up some of those Tom Steyer voters forced
on Tom Steyer.
Spend 200 top stars a dick spent $250
million didn't get a single delegate. Man, you could have at
least send some to the podcast. Yeah, we would have talked to
you we could have talked you up a bit we could have maybe gotten
a delegate here or there, man that's just that's well it shows
that money doesn't really buy you love. At least
not on love if you're on lovable it's pretty difficult, you know
Bloomberg,
and of course not be so I talked to tomorrow about the A das vote
for Bloomberg. And now he's adamant like no people have not
forgotten stop and frisk. But it's interesting that some of
the Black Media and I don't know if it's African American Adolph
or black but you know, who knows, we can Hunter on Sirius
XM is really pushing, she's black pushing hard for
Bloomberg. And, and it was this is a clip that is so bizarre she
brings on this other African American woman, Laurie Daniel
favors who dwell I'll let you hear just how mad she is at Mike
Bloomberg. But the end is kind of surprising.
Bloomberg is responsible not just for stop and frisk
furthering it systematizing it, glorifying it, defending it up
until last year when he decided he was going to run. But he was
surrounded by intellectuals, black activists, activists of
color across the entire spectrum who outlined for him the
problems New York City Lawyers Association NYCLU the data, the
statistics, he had facts, he had information and he was committed
to a racist policy that jailed black people arrested black
people stop and frisk blaming, I had 32 students, Bushwick, 30 to
32 students who were on their way to a funeral had permission
from their principals had letters from their parents
accosted by the cops are held for 36 hours had to go to trial
had to get in my husband is beat up in court by court officers at
their defense, because the way in which police and court
officers were militarized against black and brown
communities and you expect us to just eat that he's got money, so
he's gonna be the best candidate, gentrification.
Bedford Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Easter, you're in
Flatbush, Harlem did the Bronx, black people driven out of this
city for under policies that favored wealthy white people and
developers, we cannot even sustain our communities right
now. Education, he undermined the ability for us to have
culturally competent education. You want me to sit because he
can be Trump. So Trump gonna He's gonna do what he do.
Bloomberg gonna do what he doing? Yeah, he might win. But
guess what, all y'all getting arrested. All y'all getting
stopped in prison. He implements the same policies across the
country that he further and support in the state of New
York. Give me a break. We can do better than this. And I'm sorry,
I gotta agree with Meghan McCain. But now I'm upset. I'm
sorry. I didn't mean that. That was if he's the nominee, are you
gonna vote for him? I don't think he should be the nominee
if he's the nominee, because that's a strong possibility if
he's the nominee, knowing and for having said everything that
I just said, because I'm aware about how the politics and the
system in this country works. Yes, I will have to vote for
him.
Explain that to me.
I can explain to you, okay, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat,
Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. Oh,
my goodness.
I only came with Democratic vote Democrat Democrat. I'm a
democratic vote Democrat.
I guess even though everyone's going to be stopped and frisked
all over the country.
Now of course democrat vote Democrat I'm a Democrat I vote
Democrat that's right to vote
Democrat
while you just gave someone all the makings of an end of show
mix.
Realize that I gave a little extra that you're
completely toast on that one. Yeah, little extra bit that
nice.
Yeah, it's already toast a muzzle these give the biggest so
they can do something good with it.
So just this is one other thing. From mo facts. The lift gate
man, some YouTuber and it doesn't make any sense for a
clip here because it's a glides in the show notes discovered the
Bloomberg even though he was not standing on a box and of course
we know the lecterns were lowered a little bit. He's
wearing four to five inch lift shoes. And once you see it, you
can't unsee it and and the end and so he has his pants are very
long. And it's almost like he's standing on a version of male
pumps. That's how high up he is. But you don't see it because his
pants flow over it. But you can see his foot is is four inches
from the bottom of the grades kind of popping out at the
sides. But when he walks, you see his knee bend. He's like the
long Shin in human history. This guy he's so frustrated about his
height he's willing to do anything.
Well, I I am of the opinion. I agree that and I think Trump is
the one who's pointed this out And he just hounded him about
it. But I'm of the opinion that they should have had the apple
boxes for people so they can even out the heights. It didn't
make it more fair. I don't think he should have to go through all
this agony now I know I used to work for a guy a day air
pollution district who was the guy who ran the whole thing is
an ex Admiral from the Navy who must have been ridiculed by his
by his crew was always war lifts was his name always you could
just see the lifts What was his name? Louie
that's the guy that's the guy I envision.
Louie Louie
we always were were
these lips all the time? And I think Buber probably always
wears the normal lifts which are just just a heel lift they
No no no, no, these are elegant. I saw normal always normally
really? Yes. Yes. Yes. Normally
I would say he just generally wear some lifts because most did
some of these guys do that. And you can spot those because the
back of your foot is basically the top of the top of the bag.
Yeah, exactly. And but if you're gonna wear these big giant
things, which is factors an example that that went around
the net of L of De Niro in that de Irishmen they had a shot of
him in the in a scene and he had these like five inch lifts on
both feet right walking around because because Score says he
wanted to shot beat the guys to be even high they weren't
shooting his feet these wanted to be shoot him walking down the
street. And he didn't want one get real short. That's not
that abnormal in Hollywood a Tom Cruise wears them all the time
next to certainly leading ladies or ex wives. So that's
basically it. It's just I think the crate I still don't think
the crates a bad thing. But that shouldn't be visible.
I'm not I'm not against the crate. I'm just looking at.
Look, these two guys are trying to get under each other's skin.
I'm not you know, the what, what Bloomberg is trying to do is
say, no one likes you. We always laughed behind your back. You
were the joke. And I don't know if that gets under Trump's skin.
It might I can see where it might. And so he didn't he knows
that Bloomberg is weakness into his Achilles heel to coined a
phrase is truly His height. It's just these guys were so
successful and they can't they just be happy with what they
got.
That's a good one.
Now Bloomberg is I mean, this guy's tone deaf. He's doing
stick now. I mean, we saw him do a little bit of stick on stage
which fell
flat. It's no good. Now I
think I'm the only candidate to come to Wilmington, but all of
them should visit. Senator Warren could go to Elizabeth's
pizza on Market Street. Klobuchar could do a flaming
Amy's restaurant. Senator Sanders could go to the KGB bar
when my speech writer came up with that one, I thought that
was pretty good too.
Oh my god crush cringe. First it doesn't land, then he's gonna
blame it on this speech writer and say he thought it was pretty
good.
Dreadful
Yeah. It's like, I'm gonna miss Trump, whether, whether it's in
November or whether it's been for years, I'm gonna miss them
for that somebody's
going to have to use the line here we have an unfunny Jew,
who and where does that line come from?
It's got to come from somewhere. Calm, I believe is the comedy
community. He's gonna have to do it. Because it's just like, how
do you? How does this happen? Now
see what else I have? Yeah, you know, I finally got a hold of
the ad that Obama issued, issued a cease and desist order over.
Do you heard about this?
Yeah, I know. He. Trump had some No, it wasn't Trump. It was the
like, one of his
one of his packs. Yeah, like a Republican pack or a defend
Trump pack. I'm not quite sure what it was. And so the at issue
was that they took of course, what everyone has done.
Actually, we haven't done that. But how many times have you
heard someone who had someone has sent you clips? Oh, look,
here's what Obama said is from his audio book. And it's, you
know, it's just him saying some crazy shit. Yeah, but it's like,
okay, ha ha ha. Like, he read a book. It's completely out of
context. But in this case, he's actually said something in the
book, which he reads from the book. And I don't think there's
any reason I don't see how a seasoned I don't know if it
worked. I'm not I haven't followed up on that. But I don't
see why it would be for Bolton to put it together in an ad like
this. Joe Biden
promised to help our community. He was alive. Here's President
Obama,
plantation politics, black people in the worst jobs, the
worst housing, police brutality rampant. When the so called
Black commitment came around election time, we'd all line up
and vote the straight Democratic ticket, sell our souls for a
Christmas turkey.
Enough, Joe Biden will represent us defend us or help us believe
Biden's empty promises. We're committed to defend the
president paid for and is responsible for the contents of
this message.
I mean, how is that a problem? He's saying was
a lousy ad for sure. Guy give us some work.
In this case, they actually got a lot of bang for the buck. Got
it? Yeah, well, who knows? But it's just like, I don't see the
legality of it. I don't see why that should be a cease and
desist over that. It's like it's well known that the black vote
has gone on mass to the Democrat as a block and that though, that
there are elements who are just not thinking of doing that
anymore, and just like not voting or doing something else.
This is well known. That was my little bit I just did a minute
ago
I but somehow this was false advertising. I don't know what
that was.
I don't know. That probably was just as far as I know, they
probably did this cease and desist to make somebody feel
better
or what they did is they brought attention to it. It doesn't make
any sense.
I know it's dumb. If they would just let it slide. Nobody would
notice. Yeah,
exactly.
Snaps a cease and desist was a scam. It was no cease and
desist. That was part of the whole marketing scheme bought
Oh, well, we know that for a fact it was oh,
no, that's an excellent point. But it was in the New York Times
I believe is
even better. Perhaps even more.
Steve Bannon was on with the money honey, the original money
honey Maria Bartiromo, I still like her. No matter what's
happened to her. She's still the money, honey. And this is I
guess this is Fox Business. Maybe yesterday,
I think it's Bernie versus the anti Bernie moving or last night
you saw you saw Biden obviously had a big night. I think one of
the most important things is the African American vote, which is
obviously so critical. The Democratic Party is not buying
what Bernie's selling, they're not buying the socialism.
They're not buying the radicalism, they're not buying
the revolution. These are very practical, pragmatic people. And
I think you're gonna see on Super Tuesday how that plays
out. Look, Bloomberg is going to back one of the establishment
alternatives, whether that's Biden, or whether it's Hillary
Clinton or somebody else, okay. against Bernie tried to steal
the nomination from Bernie again, and that's why I think
many Bernie supporters will come to President Trump at the end of
the day, there's nobody on that stage. There's nobody on the
ballot. In South Carolina, there's nobody that balanced
Super Tuesday, that is going to defeat Donald Trump, you still
think
Hillary Clinton might make an appearance in this election?
I think that the Democratic Party is going to look for any
alternative to Bernie if Biden can't do it with Bloomberg
capital. Obviously, Bloomberg doesn't have the charisma or the
presence, I think, to be commander in chief and President
right now that they if they can't get Biden to do it, they
will look other words and you know, Hillary's already out
there pushing herself. And what about Michelle Obama, who's
you've mentioned before as well, I think if they go to the
convention, and they're desperate, and Bernie is way
behind seven, eight points behind Donald Trump, the Obamas
and the Clintons will look for any alternative to try to defeat
President remember their number one objective is to feed
President Trump. That's where they've had so many snarky, you
know, they accused suppression of information, Dr. Fauci stood
up there on national TV and said, I haven't been suppressed.
I think what we're trying to do is get accurate information out
and that's what you need. Right now. The Democrats will do
anything to destroy Donald Trump. And that's why I think
that they will come around any candidate they think can do it.
So this thing is still wide open. But here's the point. This
is Trump's Churchill moment. This is if he's got to bring the
country together, which he's doing. He's got to confront not
just the virus, but the economic contagion that's coming out of
China to Rubio talked about he does that. You don't need to
worry about 2020
I don't know man.
circling overhead any minute now. Even Maria Bartiromo is not
buying anymore. Really? You think that's still possible?
Don't you know she is starting a podcast?
Hillary Yeah, I know.
I know. It's actually I'll give you a little project
it has your team talk to you because you know you ended the
podcast. They'd be Benjamin they're in Austin. Call
here's a little preview of our show.
Starting a podcast. There we go.
I love to listen to the full goodie sources, etc. Of course
we have the best producers in the universe. Universe. We Y'all
know that? Yeah, so we should probably talk about Coronavirus
but before that. The one thing that we haven't heard much of in
the past few days because obviously, you know the
President's crazy we're all gonna die from from Coronavirus
and Bernie's getting screwed. It's all the news is anything
but anything worldly anything else, but Oh, no, we forgot to
talk about the Russian hacking. And will we see a repeat of 2016
and 2020? I'm pretty sure you heard this clip I
I, I don't want to go off the off the rails right away. I do
have a couple more clips about Biden and I'm
sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were done.
I'm sorry. I got a bunch of because I wanted to get these
in. Alright, good. This is more analysis that needs to be
discussed because this was this is this is Brooks. You know,
our, the Democrat who opposes the Republican on PBS NewsHour,
Brooks and Dunn, talking books and done talking about Sanders
before this South Carolina this some comments I thought were
interesting. That's incompetent
South Central LA last week. And I talked with 15 people on
saying who's there's a Latino African American community,
who's making sparks in this community. And of those
candidates. I just gotta stop. When, whenever you hear someone
talking about the Latino African American American community,
they're full of shit. This is this is not awareness.
You unfortunately don't have the very beginning of this was even
more full of shit. He says this guy's writes for The New York
Times in New York. He says I was wandering around what's
what really? He was in watts. Yeah. He was in watch just
yesterday, just Yeah. Oh, talking to people. They are
people in the black and brown community in watts, watts.
And Compton in South Central LA last week. And I was
in South Central LA last week is an old white dude. And actually,
he's pretty, it's pretty gentrified. Now to be honest
about it, if you can find still find black and brown communities
15 People are saying who's there's a Latino African
American community? Who's making sparks in this community? And of
those people, I'd say a bunch, maybe the majority certainly
could name the candidates like they were against Trump. They
knew that that was clear. But they didn't clued in. Are you
asking about local politics? They've got a lot of opinions.
And so the national politics swoops in and all of a sudden,
people have to make a view. But do you notice
that a lot of people are using the term swoop now?
I'm glad you caught that. And that's very interesting. Yeah,
somebody's using, everyone's using this route.
And people have to make a view, but they've been focusing on
frankly, more important things in their lives, I do would make
a call to Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. I think Bernie Sanders
represents a challenge to their style of Democratic Party. And
the only two people who can create unity, and an anti
Sanders wing are Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. And if they
came in and said, We're gonna organize, so we don't divide the
vote five or six ways, then they can be the only ones to do that.
They're probably not gonna do it. They're gonna sit on the
sidelines. But I do think if they want to defend the
Democratic Party, as they understand it, this is the week
this is the moment when they say, it's going to be Biden, and
we're all going to work together or it's going to be x and we're
all going to work together. I do think there has to be some
leadership. Otherwise, it looks extremely likely to me with
Bernie Sanders.
Wow. So this this guy, and he's he says he's a Republican. Is
that the guy?
No, he's, you know, he says, he represents that side of the
argument, but he never does really just a different kind of
Democrat.
Why in the hell so? What he's, in essence saying is that no, we
just can't have Bernie Sanders and everyone agrees. Do they
realize they're making the exact same assumptions and mistakes
they did with Trump? This will this is going to give Bernie a
certainty.
Well, maybe, but the Democrat party still is behind. Not
getting me. I mean, the party itself as I said, I follow
Yeah, and I can't disagree because you were right. And Joe.
He's just gonna have trouble on Super Tuesday. I think Joe's
gonna have trouble with his cereal in the morning. It's it's
so easy to make these jokes but I feel bad about it because one
day I'm going to be 78 And I know I'm going to be
making jokes about you but you know if you're gonna be out
running for president, I deserve it. That's a little different
than just being around the house. Oh, there's dad again.
Using a fork to eat his cereal with a joint in my mouth. Boy
Hey, good.
So okay, thank you. I'm over it now screw the guys off is off
his rocker.
Let's play another. There's another Brooks clip. Brooks also
discussed This is the COVID 19 thing in the elections. I mean,
I, here's the thing I would get into this eventually, but this
thing is not going to get through the summer. Yeah, I
mean, this is play this we can get to look back on that got one
more clip was shields talking about the election too,
I could become like it could take over the election. I mean,
I really no ideas. I'm not qualified to know how big this
will spread. But I saw an article that most Americans will
get some form of it. And not a bad form, but some form. And if
that if we start canceling events, if the economy goes
down, if we can't gather in crowds, that's suddenly a
gigantic event. And so many people were Trump's critics, or
who even sympathize with him, but didn't think he was a great
manager, a great leader. Suddenly, they all say we've
been saying this for years, well, at least we haven't had a
real crisis. And then suddenly, we get a real crisis. And so to
look at it in the crass political terms, I don't see any
upside for Trump. I do see significant downside and a lot
of upside for the Democrats since they are the party of
healthcare, since they are the party of government. So you
know, the party could it could really shock us how big this
this becomes, as it is already is in other countries. All
right.
I have to play this clip from the Bill Maher show it fits
because it's about the politics of it. This was last night.
By the way before you play that should mention how come nobody
mentions that maybe the Trump crowds will diminish a bit
because it COVID I won't be able to
I have a lot. I have a lot of Coronavirus stuff to talk about,
but I'm just interjecting this and we can come back to the
shields clip. Because it was I mean I saw and I think I can see
sometimes when Maher is really just in his act, and he'll say
something kind of rational after he does his whole thing. But
last night he was truly a little it was Friday night but the
keeper and I were watching we turned it off halfway through.
It's like I don't know we're gonna go to bed make love. I
don't want to hear this credit. I can't have this in my brain
anymore. It was so bizarre of course and he had the first
person he had on with some some she'll EPA. EPA demolish EPA de
Maha posse epidemiologist, he couldn't say it either, which
was interesting. epidemia How does it go again?
But the me ology epidemiologist, thank
you, epidemiologist. I got it now. So the first 10 minutes was
about basically was saying nothing new. She's uh, I don't
know, I don't know. I don't know why he had her on. But then he
had. EJ Dionne, who some I don't know. Do you know him? EJ
Dionne, do
you put a chain club in your lab? Yeah. Do
you know her? Do you know her? No.
Name. And Hi, I'm James clapper.
As he was very annoying, and then I don't know why he even
agreed to go on Buck Sexton. And it's like, wow, when you see
that I don't care how much of an ex CIA guy you are. You're an
enemy, enemy territory and you're going to be chewed up and
you're going to get shouted over. And it was exactly about
this. And I'll just I'll set it up that Bill Maher is convinced
along with some version of the establishment that he rolls in.
that Trump is a complete, bumbling idiot does not care is
making we're all going to die basically because of Trump. That
is That was the premise. And here's how it went.
So Donald Trump had a rally a few hours ago, by the way, I've
edited for sanity. So Donald Trump had a rally a few hours
ago. He is calling the Coronavirus their new hoax. So
I'm gonna look on the bright side of this and say that I
think the Coronavirus is going to change people's views of
Donald Trump. Finally, not for the better. There, I think there
are
two simultaneous conversations that are happening from the
President's side and really across the country. One of them
is this is one of the very few issues out there up there with
foreign military invasion, right where everybody goes, this is
something we have to deal with. I was in Long Island Railroad
JFK yesterday, people got the masks on. Everyone's freaked
out, markets are tanking and nobody wants us to be a
pandemic. The administration doesn't want to be a pandemic.
So all of our interests are aligned, but
he is lying his ass off about it. Do you Do you really not
have? Um, just Donald Trump has like one go to which is denied?
Do you really have no buyer's remorse with a guy who is lying
who says we're gonna have a vaccine soon and when there
isn't going to cut Wait, he just said there's gonna be a vaccine
but there isn't. There will be a vaccine back soon. 12 To 12
That's not what he
said. This is like Trump is terrible, therefore he's bad at
this and that's actually not talking about
I don't even believe this. This is this is I'm looking into your
eyes. Yes.
This is the price to a serious crisis and the guy is a liar,
who is putting into place people who are not competent to handle
something like this. Do you think he wants zero? Do you
want? What do you really everything he really wants is
this, what he cares about is the stock market. That's only,
that's what he said.
Some point, like there's just a duration where the President's
interests are aligned here. If he wants to get reelected, he's
going to do the best job he can list no matter how terrible
anybody here thinks he is. And here's, I almost admire you
because somebody who tries to do the impossible should be
admired. But
trying to argue
that this President is dealing with this in any other way, but
to protect himself not protect the country. Why did he tell the
Chinese what would you say the Chinese are doing a great job
here? Oh, why didn't he intervene there? Why did flights
from China when some experts initially said that that was a
bad idea? Now they're saying actually,
why? Why don't we have more testing kits all across our
country, especially in our world more
interesting, you know, in World War Two, as soon as the war
started, they closed down all the car factories, and in weeks
they were making bomber planes and tanks. We can't in this
country make masks, nobody can get a mask, because they're sold
out on Amazon and everywhere else.
Guys freaked
out he is. And by the way, a memo to Bill Maher masks don't
come from the magical Amazon warehouse, you know, massacre
made somewhere. And it was policies of many other
presidents before us and, and Congress who decided it was much
better to move everything overseas. So but that they can
sit there and say he doesn't care. He only cares about
himself. He doesn't care about winning. I don't understand.
It's unhinged behavior.
They're totally unhinged. This is embarrassing.
I think so. And just two people? I don't know. I just can't
understand it. But also, what level of of paranoia do they
have out there in? In California, Los Angeles? Maybe
specifically?
It doesn't make any sense. There's been one death.
Do you? Oh, well, can we? Do you want to do any more 20? Oh,
yeah, I got the one sheet. So I played the one last, let's do
that about Biden. And by the election, even though it's going
to our show next Thursday, is going to be a whopper because
it'll be after Super Tuesday, and we will have analysis you're
not going to get anyplace else. This is the Biden campaign in
California shields
in California has David's paper reported yesterday. Terrific
piece, he has one office. And when the reporter went that was
Stop, stop, stop, stop. Just set it up. The clip is about Biden's
campaign in states other than South Carolina. And now he's
talking about Biden as one office go
in California as David's paper reported yesterday. Terrific
piece. He has one office. And when the reporter went there was
padlocked. And when he went back the second time, they had tables
set up for volunteers. And there were no tables set up in the
world volunteers. I mean, you know, so put, if he does when
it's a great tribute to his popularity to the vestigial good
feelings that people have for for Barack Obama and for Joe
Biden. But it's not any campaign. That's been
persuasive. What?
What did he say?
Like, yeah, sorry. What he said is that there's zero presence of
Biden in California, he's not going to get a vote. What
Bernie's just going to take the whole state. Oh, I don't believe
that. Well, there's no there's no ads. The only ads that we've
seen, have been for Bloomberg, Bernie and Steyer.
And I've seen all of them. I know we don't get the full the
full gamut. But Bloomberg ads rampant here in Austin Steyer
ads. And Mayor Pete,
probably, I probably going to argue there. Bloomberg, I think
is sending the whole gambit, the gambit the whole range of ads to
Texas is one of his targets
Well, I'm also hearing from people that they're hearing two
to three Bloomberg ads in one ad block which means you won't get
to you will get on a carpet bomb if you're doing that, which I
don't know if it really is effective. It might be but your
carpet bombing I mean, that's the mean that's the stuff that
you know tide marketers, people who sell soap dream of that
wretched game.
How many how many how much money can you have to do that? It's
really incredible. And again, I'm very happy he's doing it
because we'll, we'll learn if you can actually buy something.
I think we should consider moving the Coronavirus to after
our first break and do it Couple other things, since there is
some other news. But first sticking kind of with the
election, this is the the Malcom Nance clip. I think you heard
this one one of our producers sent it to us. And it's from.
I couldn't clip it. I found a vert one thing. Malcolm Nance,
who's Malcolm Nance, welcome. Nance is a chief petty officer,
who was written cryptography in the Navy, and somehow spun that
off into being some sort of an expert. He doesn't know jack
shit this guy.
That's why I like him so much. And now he's on a podcast. He's
already unhinged when he's when he's on television. But now he's
doing the podcast rounds. And this was him on the why it
matters podcast on a scale of one to 10.
How strongly
by the way, John, I think that this would be the right voice
for our podcast. Why do you think we should do auditions?
On a scale of one to 10? How strongly do you think we
responded 2016? Oh, that's I didn't even have it on the
scale. It's
not on the scale. It's not on the scale. We're not prepared at
all for 2020. The way Russia had attacked us was using truths
half truths and lies as sort of like information cruise
missiles. And the air that they glide on is the the explosive
payload is the lie that's embedded in there. And the
problem is, unlike a regular cruise missile, where the
payload hits and explodes, this is more like spreading a you
know, a virus,
right? It's like a rumor or a lie. And once it's out even if
you say it was a liar, rumor, I can't but
it's more insidious than just a rumor or a lie. What was hacked
in 2016 Wasn't the Democratic National Committee. It was the
mindset of the American voter. And the way they hacked it was
to enter it. Poor in misinformation allow you and
your loved ones to spread the virus, and now completely
infected. You refuse to believe that anything is wrong with you.
Well, that's
bleak and scary. I'm good at that.
You're an idiot.
I love the music. I love the whole production. It was
purchases done
by the Council on Foreign Relations of all places who
barely have they have money I know why they budget this girl.
This girl is a New York writer because the CFR
CFR 21 CFR chickee.
I don't think so. I think she just was hired to do these
podcasts. She might be but she's she's too low and she is a she
writes a lot about her own tattoos and how to get she was
she the whole essay on which he had to have another trouble she
had to go through to get one removed when
you research you did oppo research on her?
She does. She's solid. Brooklynite seems like a very
lonely woman. To me.
What is her name? I'm so happy you did all this work.
She was just a wreck. So she's doing this podcast with this
with this guy and she's not divorced. They brought a woman
in that has Nazmul more vocal fry than she does. And she talks
a lot Gabriela Sierra There we go. Yeah, that's her. And they
brought she brought some other woman out of that same thing.
And she's worse. And unfortunately, they both have
such similar voices that you can't tell one from the other
and it's like, it becomes confusing. Listen to the
you know that she does look like a solid Brooklynite. You're so
right and yes, I can see why she'd be lonely. Not because
she's not because of her parents. I can just said no,
she's
she's actually looks at her mid 30s She's looking actually yeah,
but
I know this type, right stay that way. What do you mean you
know, I know that you don't know
who you know that type. I know that we had to open media to
what we had one of the we had a imposter that came in it was a
spook, but no, it's a girlfriend of one of the guys is trying to
show hey, these guys are okay. And you can tell
all right. No. Okay, let's go to Brexit. Yeah, and I love that
people are yelling at me on Twitter, saying you wrong.
Brexit happened, man. Brexit had run. Brexit happened, man.
It hasn't. Oh, what happened? Yeah, they took the flag down.
So they say that because the deal was signed to give me the
date and the time when it was signed. I know that but they're
still kind of negotiating the entire deal is like getting a
divorce. But signing the papers and then saying let's split up
the assets, which is a very odd way of getting a divorce. And I
didn't evoke the divorce meme that was everybody else. But now
according to Conservative Member of Parliament, Ian Duncan, the
EU was panicking. And it's panicking over a number of
things, you know, the fisheries they may have they might they
may starve without the UK I don't know. But here he is
talking from I think a renewed sense of fu EU Well, Europe's
in a panic now, because they suddenly realize that Britain
going is an enormous deal they tried to pretend it's not,
there's an enormous problem for them. And so now what they're
doing is panicking over what how competitive the UK will become.
And we will become incredibly competitive compared to the
European Union, which is just bogged down in rules,
regulations, bureaucracy, want to break free of all, that's
what people voted for, to make our own rules on migration, or
fishing waters, on our borders, all these things are really,
really important. So we're very clear that we're not going to
accept this negotiating position, because this
negotiating position is all about trying to tie us down so
that we can't compete. And we need to say, I'm sorry, we are
not going to do that. And if that means, at the end of it
all, we moved to WTO World Trade Organization terms, then so be
it. And the countries that will really be damaged by that will
of course be in the European Union, not us. After all
remember, we run a trade deficit in goods and foodstuffs of over
100 billion pounds a year now, that's 100 billion pounds worth
of goods and foods that they sell us more than we sell them.
You know, that is, that is a point for the European Union,
you now are at risk to a minimum of 100 billion a year. You make
your minds up in Europe. Do you want to do trade with us because
we want a Canada style in other words, a normal free trade deal.
And then we're going to go and make free trade deals with
America. We'll make them with all the other countries like
Canada, Japan, Australia wants to do one New Zealand once India
is now begging us to do a deal. Huge possibilities for the UK.
being tied to Europe is not the answer to Brexit.
I like the bravado I think they have some there's certainly with
the fishing. They have some. Some advantage. I'm not sure
what else that 100 billion. Where does it all come from?
What are they? What are they selling? What does the UK bridge
Yeah, what
are they selling cars? Carts. What cars
t what cars? Well, it doesn't everything owned by being the
plywood car? Yes. Fine, fine British Motor Vehicle. I don't
know. It just seems like they've I mean, everything points
towards a crash out. Screw you type of deal.
Is what that's what looks like they can't see it. But they but
the EU is faltering. They're having so much trouble right now
that they can't really afford to let just blow it up like that
they're gonna have to do something.
Yeah. And the problems. So we have a couple of things. First
of all, the migrant issue all over Europe is, you know,
doesn't really bubbled to the top of the news because you
know, Trump, at least in these parts, but I think even even
when I'm reading in the EU papers, you know, probably no
one told you about what was going on in Paris.
A massive fire in the center of Paris forced the partial
evacuation of one of the capitals of busiest train
stations, garden Leone, the fire has been brought under control.
Demonstrators reportedly set fire to scooters and bins during
a protest against the commuters,
scooters and bins. In the
right, while you're talking about who says you're going to
play some of these clips. I do have the clip for what's going
on Turkey opening the gates again at 24. That's exactly
where I was going. And I have looked into this somewhat for
week.
One has been warning that this country is struggling to cope
with the growing number of migrants in Turkey. In recent
years, millions have fled war torn nations to Turkey in the
hope of using it as a stepping stone to reach Europe and
agreement in 2016 saw the EU promise anchor 6 billion euros
worth of financial aid. But Turkey says Brussels has failed
to hold up its side of the bargain. And that the borders
into Europe once again open. I learned what
did we say months ago? If things continue like this, we'll be
forced to open the gates. The EU didn't believe what we said. But
what did we do yesterday, we opened the border gates. We
assumed
that it says decision means the migrant crisis that so polarized
European opinion in 2015 will probably flare up again and for
millions of people that a new life in Europe could be in
reach. I just came from Izmir I am going to Greece and then to
France. I will wait there for two three days or a week. If
they don't open the borders. I will go straight to the grocery.
Then it comes after one of the bloodiest weeks since Turkey's
military interview Tension in rebel held areas of Syria began
in October. On Thursday, dozens of Turkish troops died after an
airstrike by Russian backed regime forces. and Turkish
drones retaliated with an attack that killed dozens of Syrian
soldiers. The Syrian government has also failed to comply with
an ultimatum from Ankara to pull its troops back from Turkish
observation posts, meaning further retaliation seems
likely.
Yeah, so the gates have been opened, I think 30,000 migrants
were led out of their containment 18,000 already made
it into Greece. Greece is trying to stop them. And I'm trying to
this is all about Idlib Idlib in northwestern Syria, and it's a
little complicated to understand what's going on. I can only
really see it as being oil oil refinery specifically. There's a
the M five motorway in Syria goes right past aid lib, it's
strategically very important. There's the connection over to
latika. Latakia I think it is latika Latakia where they have
Woods actually beautiful part of Syria on the on the west side on
the coast. The way I understand it is when and now the strategy
starts to come into play, but I don't understand it yet, is when
we Trump took out sulamani That completely upset the balance in
the Middle East in particular as it relates to Iran. And so now
you have Rouhani and Erawan, to the president of Iran and the
president of Turkey talking saying, okay, you know, we have
to have a political solution to this. So they're going to try
and split stuff up. But the Russians are in there, and
they're not having any of it. But really, the Turks are kind
of the aggressor, as far as I can see in this. They're the
ones that are messing around in something that's not their
country. They're getting pushed back. And then you know, so you
have Russia, Syria, and then Iran is also tied to Syria, but
not really. And it's confusing.
It is confusing, but the Turks will tell you that their their
problem is that there's all this action taking place in the in
Syria that is causing these people to want to flee.
Right. But the Turks or the Turks are there themselves, they
should get the hell out. What are they doing there?
Well, we don't want you know, I don't want to say that we
suckered them into going in there, it feels like it. But it
looks like it to me, too. I mean, we were there for we
weren't supposed to be there in the first place. No, because we
had set up this phony baloney revolution that was going to
take place and take go, you know, take him out. Never
happened never worked out. So either send some troops and that
didn't wasn't doing us any good. And so we shouldn't have done
that either. But we did. And then Trump comes along and he's
trying to figure out how to get out of this deal somehow cajoles
turkey into taking over our role of screwing things up with the
excuse that hey, you guys, you guys have to take the brunt of
all these. These refugees, once you just you know, shoot at him.
He says instead of letting them in.
Hey, I got an idea for
well, so that the Turks are getting to push back, like you
said, and so it's like, okay, screw it, then we're just going
to open the gates, let the refugees come through, we're
going to create a trail there go right through Turkey, right into
Greece, and it's not our problem anymore.
And we're talking from the reports that 900,000 People have
fleed that fled Idlib interestingly, when I look at
the video and pictures of what's coming into Greece, I don't see
families, I see young men, and that may just be the ones who
are the first to go. I don't know. There's not a lot of
information and what is disappointing, although, gee,
I'm not surprised. Where's the mainstream media on this? You
recall only I don't know six weeks ago
to just throwing the cards and some serious people that just no
one gives a shit the killing them and Trump drove back.
And now there's actually almost a million people who have been
displaced because of what's going on there. No one gives a
crap. Not a single, like second have I seen on television? It?
Yes. Crickets, total crickets. And that's a real humanitarian
crisis that's going on there. But of course, I have to remind
myself, it's American mainstream media. Those are brown people
who live in sand. Unless we can tie it to Trump who cares?
That's how they think. And it's trying M
five M racist media.
It truly is. Any I've just been trying to get some good
information and it's everything is sketchy. You know, but bottom
line Rouhani, Iran and Turkey have to work out some
difference. They have to work something out. And otherwise
this is only going to get worse and what they need to work out.
I'm not sure. But they said what? They're the ones that
really, we need a political solution, which means he doesn't
want more war. And I guess no one wants it. But I don't know
if any help from the producers would be fantastic. Certainly
anyone who's boots on the ground, we know, we know you're
out there. But I don't know what to do with this. I really don't
realize that
you can do and wait, do dark we do what we can.
And then just to show you how stupid the overpaid media is.
This is a report from the BBC. And I'm sure that assurance
important to know that the panel ad the Panama things the Panama
virus is killing bananas. You've probably known about this, you'd
be someone who would know about the bananas.
Yeah, the Cavendish banana is about to go extinct. Yes.
Thank you. And, and that's, I think a big deal like bananas
will all bananas go extinct, or just the caviar.
Just this one, the one the good. The one good banana that's left.
And apparently it's not even as good as the other one that went
extinct. I'm told the one good the long yellowy banana that did
that ripen slowly and it ripens, he goes from green ripe. That
banana is going to be gone in probably a decade or two.
So I hear about this, I'm looking around. And you know,
you've already heard Boris Johnson say I'm going to cut
funding to the BBC. When I hear this, I just wanted to learn
something about what's going on with the banana. This is the
production and just imagine the video with a bill here. They
almost like the Council on Foreign Relations podcast,
they're with the with Malcolm Nance, they need to dress it all
up and give you sound effects and set the tone. Just tell me
what's happening with your banana.
The banana is one of the world's favorite fruits. But in the
fields where they grow, a fungus is creeping through the soil and
ruthlessly destroying one banana crop after another.
So work is underway
just saying I didn't put that in there. Yeah, that's this is the
BBC. We have agreement and this is all the beep i didn't know
I've not touched this. All I did is cut it off after a minute
because I couldn't take it. This is how they produce a simple
story. They got way too much money.
So work is underway to rescue the banana. This man thinks he
might have found the solution. Using the bananas he's grown in
a greenhouse in the Netherlands. Fixing the world. These are
Cavendish bananas, which are the best known variety in the world.
But before long they could become a thing of the past. The
killer is a fungus called Fusarium oxysporum. And when it
gets into the soil, it causes bananas to develop the TR for
strain of Panama disease which has wiped out crops on farms in
Africa, Asia, Latin America and Australia. Once it's in the
soil, it's almost impossible to get it out again. So could the
answer be just to take the soil away?
I just realized what's going on. This is a sickness. And the
sickness probably started when a lot of the NPR people went to
podcasting. And then it's like, what's that radio radio? topia?
What's his name without the podcast? Oh, I didn't think
everyone has this or everyone this these producers out there
have this desire this insatiable need to dress up everything and
put the scary music under everything to make you feel like
you're really in the mood for it. People, people there's a
reason why Joe Rogan has 100 million subscribers because he
doesn't have any of that crap. Get a clue. You know, don't you
think it's some kind of sickness or this overproduction? Just
give me give me a little bit I don't mind a little bit but just
give me the news.
Well, it's a little bit like our jingles which are very mock to
the mock us we do it to mock the model. Yeah. And which a lot of
people don't understand but you can see it's a lot of people got
put off by the EU is terrible. What are they doing? I it's it's
just it's this hot what I call high amateur. Ooh,
I like that term high.
I am and I would put myself in that category. I like a lot of
noise and stuff, but I would never produce something that
actually was finished product. On the fly, I think it's fine
because you're just doing a live show and you just do throw in
there throwing stuff in. But when you sit down and actually
produce, and you bring the music about a banana about a banana, a
banana when it should be just straight, and I just want to
hear about it. I want to understand the mechanism is
taking place with regarding the banana. I don't know what's the
point of the music. I'm in a mood music is to put you in a
mood. I don't need to be in a mood.
You heard it in that piece like oh, the banana Cavendish banana
is dying off room scary music. And then people will say the
world due to loot. Dow? We used to call that to? Well, I'd
worked better on television. It's just I don't understand it.
I don't understand. It's not necessary. I find it annoying
and I think you're wasting time no one
is like that videos is that when you know that these guys who
produce these high clip video clips can judge cameras
everything's angled, a shot of the guy's face with its tongue
sticking out then a shot of cutting something and then bye
bye boom, boom, boom. You know do you see this on the Food
Network and some of these other places where you have these
production companies that use these old tricks of fast cars
you never learn a damn thing watching the show that try to
kind of keep you hypnotized. Bloop sounds occasionally
boiling going it's the whole thing. I don't know I never
liked it personally, I gotta look for I couldn't find I
shouldn't say it because I do like it but I don't like the way
they're doing it.
It's kind of a part of the I don't know maybe they're playing
into the 1.5 1.3 times speed listeners there's something
wrong
I gotta know there's there's an element that's an interesting
point
I got an email from one of our producers who said that he was
he started listening to not just our show but lots of podcasts at
1.3 and he says that he got nightmares and then he then
somehow he deduced that that might have something to do with
it and he went back to one time speed and the nightmares went
away I'd wow if anyone else has that let me know because this
dad
is interested still. There's a couple of different things we
should talk about just for a split second is is the speed up
a one is like 1.31 point 1.5 years what it is, but is this a
manual speed up where you're actually just no accelerating
everything and then changing the tone no
no digital and it just it really digital chop is out silences.
Okay, the digital ones which YouTube employs is very
interesting to listen to because it's mostly chopped out
silences. So you chop out to silence and most lot of chopped
down silence and you speed up the voice but you change you
change the tempo but not the pitch. Yes. So it still sounds
like the person but the tutorial faster and
faster because it's important to do as we could probably tie that
in people who are listening at 1.3 speed right now they're
really starting to freak out because they have no idea what's
really going on and without like think records in the monitor you
John C to work the dots as
well. Wow. There's a lot better than I can do. Well in the
morning to you Mr. Adam curry. We are good. In the morning all
ships to see boots on the ground, feed their subs in the
water all the dames knights out there
in the morning to the trolls in literal room. Le Sharma the
total. Let's see how many toes we have in the Champa Oh, nice
1415 Good showing and they're pretty amazing. That is no
agenda stream.com. If you're a troll, you want to learn how to
be a troll. If you live under a bridge, head over there and join
the merry band of trolls. The entire point is to troll. You
can also say something interesting or give me a one
liner or some feedback. It's always in the corner of my eye
it seeps into my brain somehow. And that you can do that while
listening to the show or any show because it's there. 24
hours a day, seven days a week. Lots of podcasts, no
commercials, all talk all fun. 24/7 trolling, no agenda
stream.com. And we're on we're going to thank our artists for
episode 1220 titled that was slogan here. And this we had
promised to do. I think you said it was time for us to do it. And
I even thought we had used it before but no, we had discussed
it. And this was from Joshua Pettigrew. And this was the
infamous Pete Buttigieg as Alfred E. Newman and is one of
the best versions we feel that has ever been out there.
It's the best I've ever seen. Yeah. And I have searched for
somebody trying to do a better job. nobody's ever beat this
particular piece of art.
And and actually exactly astonishing. Joshua made this.
Let me let me check this out for a second. He made this a long
time ago because what is it? 13? So who doesn't have an upload
date? Does it? I think
it was a I think as for show, Levin has a wire already or
something like
least at least almost 100 episodes ago. Yeah. He has. He
has interest. In general. Joshua has interesting pieces were
don't think we've used but he does put some good stuff
together. And
we've actually used we've used quite a few of me, Daniel is the
one who does the book covers.
Oh, right. Right, right.
Does this DC Comics look? Yes,
you're right.
He does those and he was always good, because then he I will
say, he fell off. No, he didn't fall off. He did the Buddha jej
one, which was the tour de force, as anyone who looks at
against notice, tour de force, and then he didn't get picked
and he quit.
We're hoping to bring him back into
Node. I said, what happened? Why don't you send me some origin
once in a while. And he never responded to the note either.
He has on his thing is overboard on his no agenda Art Generator
page. He has crafting fine album art since Thursday, June
23 2011. So that's when he started that sadly, he's gone.
Well, maybe he'll come back. matters not we love it. We
appreciate it. It's I think this really helped for the previous
episode. When you see a piece of art like that pop up on your
podcast app, you want to click it. And it's such a good
reminder, we are one of the few people who do this. And you know
podcasters if you want to make a difference to what you're doing
change your album art with every show. It does work. People say
Oh, that's interesting. Something must be new. Click
done good. Don't rely on the app to update and people to see it.
No agenda are generated are calm, you can check out all the
artwork. And what we love the most is having artists come in
and create stuff. We pick it right after we're done with a
live show. And this is truly incredibly creative and
stunningly quick work that these people do a lot of them are real
pros or should be pros and do it professionally. No agenda are
generated are calm. Thank you all and now continuing in our
value for value network where all we ask is what kind of value
do you get out of the show? Send it to us at divorce act.org/na.
We'd like thanking our top supporters, producers who we
label as executive and Associate Executive Producers right off
the top here at the show. So let's thank some of them.
We had a lot of them today because apparently show
1220 1221 had a magic to it.
It's the Palindrome it's the one two to one which is a 33 all all
the elements that that we love were in that in the show number.
And it's funny we've noticed this before because uh, you have
to explain these different people. Oh, that's all donate
less not donate. They donate for the show stuff specifically but
they don't donate necessary for dates. Right like if it was
1221 12 it wouldn't get the attention although that did get
a lot of attention back in the day. But that's just very funny
to most
people like numbers and they'll William Hale the
seconds at the top of the list from Clarksville, Tennessee with
12 tways always remember the 1221 Club. Yes, he actually 21
bunion 12 sent ITM jets jets jets just off. I believe that a
D do things in order. You've been D deuced. In a regular
listener since sir Dave, then one of my trusted and highly
respected instructors during my time in Kansas, recommended that
I give the show listen. As someone who is often looking for
the machinations hidden away, where no one dares to look, I
found the no agenda show a natural inclusion to my day and
a humorous source of infotainment when I realized
that this show was the last Palindrome for a while and a
combination of the magic number 33 333 In total the way he does
it, I could no longer resist the call to donate. With this
donation I understand that I become an instant I would like
to be dubbed sir will with one L night of the crossed cannons and
he'd like cordite and Coronas at the roundtable. I
already had it on order. It'll be there good to go to accompany
my
mutton in meat, because there's nothing like the smell of
cordite in the morning. Really,
it's it's never the wrong time for cordite
for jingles, I like chemtrails you're gonna die. That's true
and true today. had also a healthy heaping of international
or relationship karma for myself and the rest of the Gitmo nation
as we can all use it in one shape or another thanks for all
you do and keep it coming and a shoot out a shout out sir Dave
for being the humbly awesome guy he is
well thank you very much William and we'll see you at the
roundtable later on that's true you've got karma I got something
special for you today. In case people want to request this for
the next show. You've got a roll just in case anyone wants some
we haven't on top.

Baron Horatio of Arabia 333 dot 99 Forgive me this by the way
people use this a lot. Forgive me pod father for I have sinned.
Not only it's been a while since I last donated but I feel I have
to let my fellow producers for Dave FUBA zotoh Earl of
America's heartland and Saudi Arabia let him down. Yeah. On
February 14, I was in Mana Mana Mana Mana Bahrain, Bahrain in
the meet up day and chose not to go to Sherlock Holmes the bar
and if I've been there many times I live just over the
causeway in the Magic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia chose to celebrate
my 59 birthday brunch with my friends. Leaving sir Dave alone.
Yeah, hold on a second. I just want to was it Bob rain? Just
listen to how sad sir Dave sounded. This is Sir Dave,
of America's Heartland in Saudi Arabia. I'm at the Sherlock
Holmes pub in Manama, Bahrain, for the most marvelous Middle
East meet up in Montana. Unfortunately, I sit here alone
and didn't have any takers today.
Oh, I hope you feel really bad
about this. Yes, I would. Yeah. Anyway, not much of a problem my
guilt has made it even worse when I heard sir Dave was all
alone in the pub. You go I have donated 330-333-3399 For my sins
and would hope Dave will plan another meetup and I'll do my
best to turn up and make it like a party. Thank you for the best
podcast in universe I continue to enjoy the crazy stuff that
the no agenda covers and M five M never covers. It has been it
has been it's been so since episode one and I think my whole
worldview is significantly enhanced. My my to Sunday,
listens every week. In the morning, thank
you Baronet Horatio, and yeah, well your sins have been wiped
my friend, my son.
We have a note from the forgive zotoh that I'll read at the end

so much confusion now. Okay, I did pick up the note that maybe
I should read the note now let me find it. Hey, I
want you to do that.
Focus, auto focus auto focus auto course big talker I'm like,
you know, leading up to here it is. In the morning, earthlings
First things first Baronet Horatio of Arabia, a loyal
citizen of my extended earldom confessed of missing the most
marvelous Middle East meet up in my nomina to celebrate his
birthday. If it hasn't already been done. Can I request a de
douching for him? Yeah, of course.
You've been de deuced no putting a
birthday celebration certainly Trump's a meet up although you
can combine them just saying especially since we don't know
how many we have left because of Coronavirus. He once said we're
all gonna die you got the baggage I got the
weight No no, no, no no that's not what he Oh, you mean we're
gonna do Dave have photos? No, I don't have those. What does he
want?
We're all gonna die and he's the D Duchenne you already did the D
douching. Given my recent history, I requested a double
dose of travel goat karma and a few days I head off to India for
a temporary position as a Yanni groupie at an upcoming cage
match in Colorado against his arch enemies his arch nemesis,
John Tesh,
this stuff going on.
Also, I will ask around and see if I can locate our one Indian
producer. Wow, very elusive. You'll never find him. I don't
even think he listens anymore. We had one Indian one. Not that
there's other Indians.
One one Indian producer who would actually donate him. He
was in India. Yeah, yes. One
that was years ago. My main concern is being away for a week
and a half and having the Saudi government decide to stop
traveling to the country. Yes, I'm returning via Sri Lanka. And
it looks like a long walk back to Riyadh. Yeah, the only other
option is to hire myself out to run the bilge pump on a leaky
leaky Dhow sailing to Yemen. Join a camel train holding brass
coffee pots, frankincense and cat across the Empty Quarter
take it all sounds terribly exotic, but I'm reasonably be
sure I'm reasonably sure it would suck. And you have to deal
with the questions the next time you come back to the USA that's
a surefire way to get the SSS as on your boarding pass right come
on goat karma keep those airports open so he needs it
we're all gonna die we're all gonna die and we're gonna die
you've got so that matches well okay. We keep these superstars
in the family happy Yes, sir seats that it comes up with
three and a three $3.33 and jingles at the beginning if you
see those. Yep. Today I surpassed the halfway point a
knighthood even though my alias was Sir seat Senator long before

Stolen Valor due to having sir at the beginning of my username

noticed his name could have fooled me. Like one hour
cleaners.
Yes, indeed. There'll be
sorcerer seat sitter. Okay, so it'll be serviced or seat
sitter, I got carried away making jingles mixes and songs
that are a bit long for the show sometimes so follow me on
Twitter at sir seats center for full versions of the no agenda
songs and mixes that only get partially played on the show.
I'd be remiss if I didn't call out K Bob Stevenson. No beams
and Logan qualifies as douchebags you need to read
douche bags for these I would call out Seth hammers as a
douche bag but I'm pretty sure he hates the show.
It's called the douche bag anyway.
It's probably the only real douche bag and need some jingle
making karma? And some preventative F cancer common for
myself and all those who need it. I don't think I have cancer
but I smoke too many cigarettes. And I leave my cell phone in my
pocket. But way too often, it's radiating my balls for jingles.
Can I get a JCD radiating my balls? Alex Jones it's real
ended That's true. That's true. crackpot when Joe Rogan
inevitably be inevitably a crackpot when Joe evidently
invites you back on J R E duty you being the pot Father, please
bring buzzkill with you. There's 33 more years of the best
podcast in universe boom.
I don't think that I mean, I don't think that would be a good
show. I don't we are now we are so uncomfortable in real life
together.
That's no good because we don't want to ruin the show. Never get
into a fight.
Now we don't don't get into fights. We just don't really
know what to do. I mean, you read you record and people have
looked when you were here for the wedding people looked at us
and went Are you sure you actually do that show together?
You guys it's like we're so uncomfortable. It's like this
magical wall of microphone and headphones is very very handy.
Actually decided do to eliminate one of the elements of radio
which is a good one but I mean when I was working with Leo a
lot it was available to me then which is visual cues to the
other guy.
Yeah. No, we're beyond that.

have the attention of the what kind of which kosher way to get
Manischewitz when I have the attention to the value for value
network I would like to plug an independent feature film that I
am in lead actor in it's called the trouble and it's a spaghetti
western crime thriller set in South Bronx 84 minute feature
film that was self produced and self financed with any Hollywood
MSM of influence having no marketing budget, we'd picked up
enough awards and good Oh, yes, right. Remember but this guy,
but word of mouth to earn a producer distribution deal. He's
got to disrupt. Wow, Woody Allen's rainy day in New York
can't
get on can't get on Netflix or anywhere.
That can't get a producer do the US has been blackballed by Jeff
Bezos.
Yeah, yet the trouble from our very own night joining the table
today has nailed it I can't I can't wait to see this I'll
watch this
Gibby this could be the beginning of a massive career
which then I can get done maybe this is my in for your cameo. My
bit parts
Yeah, man. You can be in the Director's Cut.
Despite having no marketing budget, we picked up enough
awards and on and on. It is to my knowledge the only feature
film starring a no agenda night it's available streaming on
Amazon Prime free for subscribers or to be free with
ads. Okay, so this is on amazon prime and this will be an it's
called the trouble. So everyone should go check it out. Even so
the douchebags can watch it with a clear conscience of the
trailer and more info can be found at trouble. film.com
Hold on a second. Hold on a second. I'm on Amazon's as we
speak.
Mostly trouble film.com

Congratulations. That's great. I love that made it into the
system snuck in backdoored it
please spread the word. If you'd like to film we rely heavily on
word of mouth. Da i sell Dooley request the title Sir John Vogel
of the shameless plug. I also request some jobs karma in hopes
of booking another good role. I don't want to send guy is Warren
send Warren Piece to you. So here are some stray notes you
should either read or not. I want to give a big shout out to
short Cal of lavender blossoms. Probably helped me with the
movie in some way. I recently switched from another brand and
LB works much better high and cost less. Hi, I'm
John Vogel. You probably see me in some of my work like the
trouble. I recently switched from a different brand to
lavender blossoms.
He's my happy customer. Yeah, you guys hate you when producers
specify they don't agree with everything you say? But Fair
there's a growing sense among the younger generations that one
should only consume media that matches their ideology. For
whatever reason millennials and Gen Z may need extra
encouragement to seek and support interesting
perspectives. They don't always agree with support perspectives,
they don't always agree with. Five or six years ago, I
experimented with my podcast playback speed to 1.3x. I
started getting horrible nightmares every night is what
you're talking about. And when I went to sleep, when I turned my
playback speed back to one, the nightmares stopped. That being
said, I still use a setting. I used to say to count the silence
and pauses so he still compresses,
which I think is is still a mistake, and you do whatever you
want. And I and I encourage I encourage the user manipulation
at Bite your atom is a fan of the pause.
Big fan. It's very important it lets everything reset. Let's
think sink down let you catch your breath for a second. And
then we can continue it's it's I am a fan of it, but it's okay.
I'm I enjoy anyone being able to mangle it any way they want.
That's fine of course. Thank you, John and I will be giving a
review of the movie on the next show.
And also by the way, humor sometimes requires pauses Jack
Benny of course being the premier example of guy who could
use them but sometimes you need to be you know, you need to say
somewhere you need to Burt drops up meaning he has to be timed a
certain way and sometimes it requires a pause sometimes a
long pause. There's sometimes a long pauses funny and so you're
just taking all that out of the show. It's It's It's okay
It's an insult minor insults Okay,
there goes my role but right so much for your bit part. All
right. Anyway, I'm worried though it did. He had some karma
request his request though. Did he
say he's getting it? You've got karma? Yes. I'm sorry.
He actually needed jobs. Jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's go
through and a goat there.
So next time was the same Dame Sarah Rupert who's just recently
married has a baby. And she was at the Oakland meetup. Oh, okay.
And, and the baby was there and everybody even when she left we
talked about this baby.
And tell us about this baby. What was what was the baby was
just second.
Almost perfect sucker baby that's been to one of these
meetups. We had a sucker baby show up at with I think it was a
some Chicano fan had a baby at the thing it was same thing.
This baby was a girl perfect. Beautiful Googong Yeah. Every
sort of thing a baby should be it was just and it was like what
we talked after. You know that was a that's a baby. That's a
good look at baby.
Those are the ones that once they hit two they become
terrorists.
Well not necessarily but when they're little babies or maybe
always cause them sucker babies. And a sucker baby is a baby that
you bring out in public and other women and and even guys go
Oh, that's cute. That's all I want one of those
that did you guys bring the adorable? Yeah, he showed up.
Didn't take the L train
yet the adorable was there.
Good to get a picture of the adorable with the soccer baby. I
did not have the soccer baby but just the touching tones. I think
like that. No. It could have been assisting you know, John,
but you know what I mean?
Yeah. Fist bump. Fist bumping.
So Leah, she was there at the soccer baby. And there was an
interesting meetup. I do want to tell one after we had one woman
there who was I think she was a she was a woman that worked for
a quango of some sort. And people should look into that.
And she has she was the she was the girlfriend of a guy that's a
real fan of the show but she's not so much and this is you
know, and I think he brought her there and she generated you this
look at the group picture she's not she's not gonna show her
face. But she's a classic and I spotted her as like oh hi seen
this type before and which of course would really ignore just
saying a type type. And it's the type of word group pretty with
very little makeup, if any, but pretty, which is always a good
thing. Kind of frizzy hair. And, and a look, which is looks like
she should be squinting your eyes when she looks at you you
but you can see that the thought bubble in her head as she's
looking at you with this kind of virtual squinty eyes looking at
you and the Thought Bubble says Men
Oh, oh, okay.
Yeah, and not to insult her or her boyfriend who I won't
mention she would be the type to convince him to get a vasectomy
in his 20s Oh, yes. Okay, story done all right. Is she just
gonna tab bastard I just thought I'd throw that in there. So but
Dame Sarah did write a note in and go right to it. Good morning
from former Baroness Sarah Bradley now in need of his name

Okay, Darren S Yeah. Sarah Rupert. You got it. This
donation is a special thank you for the no agenda community for
helping me make my repeated requests of relationship karma
work. It really took a long time nearly 10 years and I finally
met the right person. I 45. I was afraid it was too late for
me but with my no agenda, karma I'm now married to the love of
my life and the best little human resource six month old
baby violet.
Nice. And she's how old? Six months? No. No Dame Sarah was 45
Oh, God bless you girl. Nice. Yeah,
she looks like she's about 36 Okay, good maids. He grew navy.
Very young looking.
Good skin.
Yeah, good skin. Actually. I've been listening since episode
one. Sorry about that. The no agenda show has been there for
me all these years to support the infotainment keeping my
amygdala small and for the karma by donation requests
relationship relationship karma to be given to all the producers
that are listening and need it now like I did. Also, I'm the
protectorate of Sonoma County and like to edit to Napa County
because they now live in both spots. I'm by Valley death right
it's time it's time for a North beat Bay mate meet up I'd really
like to see see the Santa Rosa and Sebastopol producers. I hear
them in the donation segments Russian River Brewery home of
the Pliny the Younger and elder in Windsor would be a great spot
back she's not in Windsor is in Santa Rosa. Be a great spot
hopefully some steps into set up the date time post the meetup
page, blah, blah, blah, Violet, and I will come if it's posted
in the nounce But I never seem to get organized enough to do it
myself. Love and Light Baroness Sarah, Rupert and baby violet.
still hitting my husband Jonathan in the mouth. Gently
and I should mention there's a there's a operation that
Jonathan is part of which is giant wine and food Dean and
DeLuca competitor that Deena DeLuca went broke and these guys
kind of took it over took over. In fact, the place in St. Alena
is the Gary's it's called Gary's Gary's wine market and
marketplace or something like that. And most of them are in
New York, New Jersey and there's one in Napa for some unknown
reason and it's interesting place and I would say they
probably have a lot of good apparently nail a lot of good
wine. But anyway, she's married to this guy and he's like a
skeptic about the show already.
And she drugged up she dragged him along to the meet up No, he
didn't show up just violet little baby violet so we'll see
anyway as to relationship karma
for everybody else. You've got karma would you I should
probably mention that because of a the Palindrome on the on the
show episode. Along with which means we have a lot of donation
notes read along with the all the meetups on the 29th the Leap
Day show is going to go along so if you're an affiliate be on

my daughter in law, Brittany, I was compelled to donate after I
was hit in the mouth with a couple of 30 threes during a
vacation with my smokin hot wife in Cape Town, South Africa. We
wandered into a random restaurant in the harbor area
and sat at a random table that happened to be table number 33.
While later while sightseeing I noticed a sign displaying all of
the cities in the world on the 33rd degree South longitude line
including K town. Finally when the latest newsletter explained
the one to two one palindrome and hidden 33 I knew I could no
longer ignore the signs and I must donate. The 233 33
represents the 233 is us on Cape Town. One final observation. My
wife and I spent two weeks in South Africa in Joburg,
Johannesburg, I guess that's what you call it if you're in
the hood
Joburg. So they call it out there to Joburg
on a safari and in Cape Town during that entire time we tuned
out all new sources. In fact, we did not turn on any TVs and my
amygdala has never been smaller or healthier. Very good. Is that
the end of the note? I think that's the end of the note isn't
it? Yeah, I was yes. And Trump Pelosi jobs karma. I'm the
President of the United States I have all of the power

And it depresses Aqua VT and blonde shield maidens all
around. It's the love of a king, life of the king. The latest is
the live. I tell you, John as the other producers have stated
earlier, Adam used to be a big cultural hero for Gen Xers like
myself growing up in Holland in the 80s
key phrase used to be my has been a cultural hero. Hello, I'm
the husband cultural hero.
Friday evenings are around driving around in Rotterdam to
curry and vent ankle show has always been playing on the car
radio and boy do I miss this even to this day of difficulties
as to when my weekend actually starts without the official
curry and Vinnie ankle. The weekend has started jingle. Do
you have it?
No. I know how it goes Matt Devika. And for today, tiny,
meek and something like
that. Okay, it's enough. Okay. If you can get it to be great.
And I'm on one of the previous shows. You mentioned your
interviews with musicians on the Dutch national TV while drinking
milk. I think one of your first big interviews with Don Johnson,
you were probably around 20 years old, and I remember how
proud I was on your behalf. Oh,
I remember that. That's true.
I know. We had a Dutch show host who could actually have a
conversation in English without that terrible Dutch accent.
What are you talking about? If out of my head what you're
talking about, boy.
When you thank him for the interview. I remember him saying
something like, Hey, this was a good interview. Adam, you also
had the Bee Gees in the countdown show at one time were
you pissed off? Very, very give by asking how much it was to
work with Wacko Jacko? Do you remember that? I do a turn to
you and answered. Well, I can tell you that Mr. Michael
Jackson is a very good friend and deserves respect.
And I can let me tell you let me tell you something. Let me hear
me now believe me later, that one moment in time changed my
attitude forever. And I thought you know, it's so easy to call
famous people names. Now this is forget the show from Let's
forget this. Forget the show for a moment. But when and I really
liked the gay brothers. Of course, the only one left is
Barry now. And but when I was young, I was 1920 years old. Any
any flippers hands? Yeah, you know Mr. Michael Jackson to you,
basically. And I remember feeling so small and so stupid
for trying to be a cool hip. DJ. It taught me a big lesson. And
so I appreciate that.
I will I should mention that, calling us you know, using
nicknames and being disrespectful. Trump, for
example, it makes it a habit of it. I think it's more I think
you can you can use you can check Use the checkbox. It's
okay. You're after you're 50 years old, when you're 20. It's
not cool. It's not cool. So when you're 50, if you're 15, you
said something like that. It would be like, Yeah, whatever.
You can do it and when you're my age in the 60s Plus, wow, you've
got free pass. Yes, of course. Do
whatever do as you like, Well, man, who cares. All right, are
we
right that Joe wants to thank the two of he continues and
wants to thank the two of us for a great show. And following up
on a discussion out a while back, I would like to conclude
with the following. I like to taste a good Swiss cheese as
determined by the holes. It's the pauses in your dialogue.
Oops, whoa, this this is good pauses in your dialogue that
proves that proves the quality of the best podcast in the
universe. Best regards, mainly Heusen.
So he says like good Swiss cheese is determined by the
holes, the pauses in our dialogue, prove the quality.
Thank you. I will take that to my grave sir. Thank you. And he
wanted a goat to think of karma go to Edge. You've got
Joseph guys in Wilmington, Delaware. $229. And all he says
is purple 313.
Okay, okay. Eric Noyon. New, I think is how pronounced is the
Vietnamese name new in 228 20. Richardson, Texas. Hi, John and
Adam, thank you for your hard work. I want to give a shout out
to my friend Sir chaotic mass for hitting me in the mouth half
a year ago. Ever since that moment, I've been hooked,
listening to every show for the past six months, I deserve a
douchebag call out for not donating sooner. Now is
questioning that proper donation and a D douching. is long
overdue. But just in time for my 29th birthday on February 28. To
2820 I also want to thank you like him to d do shout you
you've been deemed deuced I'd also like to thank you on for
your media deconstruction, especially for your coverage of
the vape wars in recent recent times. I work in the vaping
industry and I've been seeing the trends come and go. But the
past few months have had a profound effect on the industry
and the capitulation of jewel the THC cartridges scare and
sweeping new regulations. I look forward to the inevitable
knighthood as I make regular donations per the value per
value model. Please accept these jingle requests. Pelosi and
Trump jobs. Al Sharpton resist we much little girl Shut up
slave. China is a whole it's true. And I got karma. Eric from
Richardson, Texas,
I just like to add some content to this, because I would have
brought it up otherwise. Anyway. There is now a bill that has
been passed in the House it has still has to pass the Senate.
The President has already said he will veto it and it lumps in
the vaping industry with a new two with new tobacco
regulations. And it's very negative it completely compares
e cigarettes and vaping to tobacco products, which is it's
it's no comparison that even goes so far as to say that they
have regulations for synthetic nicotine. So not even nicotine
derived from tobacco. So they're a bunch of GMO folks who are
doing that I think it's a fine cessation product. Also, they're
putting regulations on that look like they want to kind of
capture the vaporizer inhaling methodology. I'm not quite sure
where that is. But the the point I wanted to say is that they are
now going to do something that we learned is counterproductive.
And we learned this years ago when I was still living in the
think in the UK, they are now going to mandate all tobacco
products, just like the UK and the EU have pictures on it of
horrible lungs and hearts and bleeding crap. And what we've
learned and I remember we made quite a study of this is that
actually makes people want to smoke more, believe it or not,
you remember we had that Daredevil man, your Daredevil,
it has a very odd effect of pulling people towards the
product. But here's the thing that it may be different. What
they're doing here, it's not going to be pictures. It will be
photorealistic images. So they're actually going to draw
if you will create a graphics, horrible looking lungs and say
that's what your lungs will look like if you use this product. So
it's it's a type of propaganda that I find very interesting
coming from the government itself and I hope the president
vetoes it is ridiculous what they're trying to do to the
blood before people wanted to kill themselves. Let him do it
whatever they want. But to then employ photo shoppers to make it
look horrible and not even from a real picture. Interesting. No,
it doesn't make sense. Here are your jingles resist. We much we
must. And we will much about
that. Be committed
to jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. That's your job.
Jacob Schlachter is next on the list from Fairview, Texas. It

and I'll grab anonymous here to 2222 Regarding the spread of the
Coronavirus, considering the spread of it amongst the highest
levels of government in Iran. I would be concerned about Dubai
as a hub for spreading it I lived in and traveled the region
for many years the Dubai Airport has a regional terminal that
services Iran as well as many other countries in the region.
Many with a lot of expats from the EU and Asia this there's
also a considerable number of USA, O G, A other government
agencies people that transition through that terminal entering
exiting the region, considering the amount of third world
traffic that enters Dubai through terminal two and then
leave the region by terminals one and three. I think there'll
be cause for concern not to mention the economic impact
worldwide from local seaways being shut down of their spread
within the Emirates the majority population is just there for
work and lives in cramped quarters. Yes, anonymous
however, we will be talking about this once we get through
all the donations. I don't think you have to be that worried but

Mike Schwab from Brooklyn to one two. And he says I put a two in
the middle of my donation and the show number two suggests
that the two party system is in the center of many of the
problems we are discussed that are discussed on the show. In my
book expressive voting. I explore several ways to reduce
the two party Enos of the system we use to run elections. The
main idea is to vote for as many people as you want with no
ranking. This would reduce the role of primaries to introduce a
lot of independent variables that candidates could learn
from. It would also deflect the spoiler effect and change the
role of negative campaigning and campaign finance. Ranks choice
is more famous at the moment, but I prefer unranked approval
voting. The book is available on Kindle and Apple I'd love some
feedback from no agenda producers. Also for those who
love numerology and karma feel free to try out a project I
helped with at life elevated life prayers, get a birth card
reading from the deck of playing cards, then check the readings
for your friends and role models. Have a great experience

out Where were you? I plan to show up yesterday but was on a
winning streak playing mahjong. So I couldn't leave. Love. Love
the show. Catch you next time. It's true. When you're on a
winning streak of mahjong. You just can't You can't leave. It's

years, by the way, TBD, which is worse for ATX I'm not sure what
that means. Oh, to be determined when she's gonna leave. I have
lived in Austin for 10 years. And while I have some great
times I'm running away for multiple reasons, mostly that
the city I fell in love with has changed drastically. And
Cleveland Ohio is pretty good. Sure. Well,
hold on a sec. It's okay. Heather. I understand. However,
I will stay here and fight back. I will fight the hipsters. I

Also from the Oakland meetup. And by the way, this there's a
note that came in from our the producer of the meetup. She by
the way, works for for slack as a Slack slack, whatever that
company. Yes, Slack. Yes, she's one of the slides. She dropped
off. stickers for everybody. Oh, wait,
this was Heather. Yeah.
Is it Heather? Yeah.
Oh, my goodness. I wish I was there. I've so many questions. I
think it's I think that as much as I despise it, and think it's
very damaging. I believe that slack. Despite what Andrew
Horowitz thinks is the group were of this generation. I think
it will be a it will continue to grow and be a very it's a
successful company. There's no lack of demand, no lack for the
demand of slack. Very, very, very interesting how people come
into companies and they expect slack to be there. I think it's
a long term winner.
We actually had a something of a conversation about Slack
Jennifer. Jennifer Chang not tether. Oh, I'm sorry. We had a
long conversation about Slack and its implications in a hut
many people have the special ring it comes with this being
said make some sort of noise. Yes. And it's sociologically in
all the families with people with that are working in a
company that requires slack. They're always bitching about
the phones. They're on the phones all the time. I am in
agreement with Andrew but I'm in agreement with you.
It is it is Pav slack specifically is Pavlovian, slave
oriented group where Yes, and that and that's better than
better than stuff. Yeah.
I don't know where your position is at the company. She's just
dropped a lot of stickers. I got a she gave me a Slack bag. Wow
you aren't bag. I may put that on I got more stuff to sell.
Oh yeah, you sold the Frisbee you sold your Bob Frisbee.
So the Bob frisbee got other things to sell. I'm gonna we'll
hopefully get to it in this show. Otherwise, it'll be at the
weight this show will be will end on Monday if we don't. All
right on onward. We were just wearing a lot of commentaries in
this in this in this segment. This is the last the last

vorak.org/and a cap rate.
Remember three three.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth all
right.
Kung Fu kung fu is really the I'm going to give the most
important piece of information right up front. This is going to
be a big spoiler. And I posted this, but this is from the New
England Journal of Medicine, which I miss as far as I know,
is a reputable source. Is this a reputable source that
we can see is yes, yes, yes.
Okay. So when people read this, they're not just gonna say I
think it's big TV. I
like the New York Times No.
This is written by Anthony s are written and researched by
Anthony s. Fauci. Clifford Lodge, Dr. Fauci, Clifford lane
and Robert art Redfield. These are these are people who have
been around in the business for a very long time. The most
important paragraph of this I'm going to read for you, because
this is, this is the problem that I'm seeing with the
numbers. And the numbers is the mortality or fatality rate,
which people are throwing out there. And the fatality rate is
based upon number of cases you have it in number of people who
die. Now, unfortunately, you there seems to be a problem with
testing kits. As some of the testing kits don't actually work
as a kit, you have to draw blood to do it. So we really don't
know how many people are actually infected. I could be
infected right now and not know it. I may or may not get
symptoms. But I'm certainly not counted because no one knows it.
This is a little different than severe influenza. which has
different symptoms. And that's much more as known throughout
decades and decades of witnessing this. So it's very
easy to say, oh, it has a 2% fatality rate. Well, yeah,
that's what the people we have tested now.
And I should mention that as JC pointed out, I think I mentioned
the last show that to get tested. If you're like, here,
and I want to get tested, the fee is $3,000. And the insurance
companies won't pick it up.
Yes, and and so this, this really doesn't this skews our
numbers. And I'm actually I'm very tired of people telling me
that I'm, that I'm not taking this seriously, or, you know,
send me all this stuff to look at. Let's just look at, and I
think we've always taken the New England Journal of Medicine.
Seriously, we don't take a lot of a lot of things seriously,
but this we have. So I'll read you the most important paragraph
on the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis
of pneumonia. That's what people die from, or not. The currently
reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%. In another
article in the journal Gwon, at all reported mortality of 1.4%.
Amongst 1099, patients with laboratory confirmed COVID 19.
So that's an effect. So they got almost 1100 people, and they got
1.4% of those people dying. These patients had a wide
spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of
asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several
times as high as the number of reported cases, that's what I
just said. So I may have no symptoms, or I'm feeling just a
little uneasy, I'm not reporting I'm not going to the emergency
room not going to my doctor. If that is the case, the case
fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This
suggests that the overall clinical consequences clinical
consequences, which I believe to mean death, of COVID-19 may
ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza,
which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%, or a
pandemic influenza, similar to those in 57 and 68, rather than
a disease similar to SARS, or Merce, which have had case
fatality rates of nine to 10% and 36%, respectively. So this
confirms what we have been suspecting. And from all the
reports we've received, that this really is not a big deal.
It is a media big deal for a number of reasons. And I have a
few things to back up all assertions here. The first thing
is Sanjay Gupta, who literally agrees with what is being said
here, but this guy doesn't agree with it in real life, but he's
saying the following Do we have the means to test everyone?
I don't think we do. And I think that this has been a glaring
problem to be to be candid. You know, again, you look at other
countries around the world, including Korea, they have the
testing, they've been doing the testing up to 1000s of tests a
day, we know that some of the original test kits that were
sent out to what are called POC point of care locations were
flawed, for various reasons. They didn't have the right
control. They didn't have the right reagents, whatever it
might be. But I think you know, the numbers changed a little
bit, but they may be only seven different hospitals and
locations around the country where you can actually get this
testing done. And look, anecdotally I talked to my
friends in the medical community, and they say, Hey,
there's patients who may be fitting the criteria here. They
weren't necessarily in China, but they were in Korea, they fly
back, they're sick, they go to the doctor, they say, I should
be tested. They're told no, you don't fit the criteria. And by
the way, we don't have the tests Anyways. Anyways, overstate What
the hell did you hear him? The doctor said anyways, nice.
Anyways, no, you don't fit the criteria. And by the way, we
don't have the tests anyways, I don't want to overstate this.
But the concern is, you know, from a public health standpoint,
readiness, really one of the first criteria is surveillance.
And it's not clear to me right now that we have had the
adequate surveillance in this country over the last several
weeks to really get an idea of how significant this Coronavirus
outbreak is here in this country. We could be missing
people.
Okay, no, you are missing people. You're missing lots of
people. And therefore this magical to some people throwing
around 3% is completely unproven, not scientific, not
based on actual data that you have. So if we can't test it,
you can't be throwing these numbers out. And this was an
exchange that took place during the press conference with Sanjay
Gupta. And actually it was Scott Adams who brought this to my
attention and I'm still not sure I agree with Scott Adams but the
Sanjay Gupta definitely wanted to interpret something the
President said the way he wanted to interpret it. I'm not so
sure. He got it. Right. But for sure, there should have been
some clarification before he went off reporting that the
President is complete nut job.
There were many times that the President expressed surprise.
Yeah. About certainly the severity of the flu. He he kept
saying that this was news to him.
He didn't know how serious the flu was, man. He watches a lot
of TV, you'd think that that one would have come up. But here's
you can you
believe this smug, smug woman, he watches a lot of TV. Really?
That's okay. And he didn't know how serious the flu was, man.
He watches a lot of TV, you'd
think that that one would have come up. But here's your
exchange with him who has a fatality ratio of about point
one. This has a fatality ratio of somewhere between 3%.
Even with that we don't know the numbers. And the flu is higher
than that the flu is much higher than there's more people who get
the flu, but this
is spreading or it's gonna spread maybe within communities
that's expectation. Does that. Does that worry you? Because
that seems crazy,
because we're ready for it.
Now, before we continue with this clip of Sanjay, back at
home base, how did you John, how did you interpret what the
President said? When he said it's much higher?
He said that the flu is much higher than it could have been
the flu is much higher in number of cases. It could have been the
flu is much higher than 2.1% that he that point oh 1% That he
said. So it was implying that the flu cases were either much
higher or that the right value of the flu is much higher, but
not
much higher than Coronavirus, just much higher than whatever
Gupta was saying the 0.10. And what you're talking about. Now,
because we're ready for it, what did you take away from that
exchange subject? Well,
you know, I mean, there were a few things. First of all, the
President, I think earlier was talking about the similarities
between this Coronavirus and the flu in terms of how it spreads.
And you know, there's there are similarities that are these are
both very contagious pathogens. I think there's two things that
really surprised me one is that, like you point out that we've
been talking about the fact that flu does kill 10s of 1000s of
people every year. And apparently he didn't know that
up until right before this briefing. He was told this
apparently by Dr. Fauci right here, say it ahead of time, but
also in the midst of our exchange. All of a sudden, he
said, Well, no flu mortality rates are higher than
Coronavirus.
Did you hear that? John? No, I didn't hear that at all. Well,
that's how he that's how Dr. Sanjay Gupta is interpreting
that I didn't hear it either
way the dimension beat people interpret everything wrong.
Let's just listen to one more time who have a fatality ratio
of about point one. This has a fatality ratio somewhere between
we don't know exactly the numbers. And the flu is higher
than that the flu is much higher than there's more people who get
the flu but
this is spreading it's gonna spread maybe within communities
that's it may expectation that does that. Does that worry
because that's
because we're ready for it.
So again, here's what Gupta interprets.
All of a sudden he said, Well, no flu mortality rates are
higher than Coronavirus. I
said what he said he did not say flu. rates are higher than
Corona. He never said you never use the word Coronavirus. This I
can I listened to the second time I can see the
misinterpretation being there and nobody asked for
clarification. And then you make the assumption that that's what
he's saying. This is very common.
Yes. But when you're talking when you're scaring people on
television, it's not such a good idea. They should have at least
asked for some clarification.
Before that would have been Blake Marley.
Let's finish. He said,
Well, no flu mortality rates are higher than Coronavirus. No, he
didn't I don't know why he said that where he got that it's not
true. I mean, but here's here's the concern if you have two
transmissible pathogens, flu and Coronavirus, they're both pretty
transmissible. Flu mortality rates are about point 1%. So
point 1% of the people who get an infection with the flu will
die of it with Coronavirus. So far. The largest study showed
the the number is closer to 2%. That's a 20 fold difference. So
if you have the same transmissibility, but one is 20
times more lethal, it is clear why public health officials are
concerned about this. And I guess I was a little little
worried in an effort to sort of reassure people. I'm not sure
the President understood that particular point, at least in
our exchange. That's a big
deal saw J and that struck me as incredibly worrisome. It's
dangerous. If the president doesn't understand the
Coronavirus is 20 times more deadly than the flu.
See The just now they're just making stuff up? They did. So we
already reviewed, they don't really have the mortality rate
we don't have on
a second. candiate does anyone have a calculator there? Because
if the flu is point o one is what they said right? 20 times
is point two, not
two. Now that's I don't think you're correct on that. John.
I'm totally correct on this.
It's point it's oh point one not Oh, point. Oh, one is Oh, point
one. Your shirts. Oh, point one or not point. Oh, one? No, it's
Oh, point one.
Well, I want to just say point one then not open? I don't think
so. I think they said point. Go back to the go back to the
original clip.
To goop does with the President that clip. Yeah. Where they say
where they dropped these numbers out? Okay. Sorry, here we go.
Who has a fatality ratio of about point one. This has a
fatality ratio.
Did you hear at the beginning? Yeah. He
said point one. Okay.
So they're doing the math correct. But they're doing it
based on no information. They don't have the test. They don't
know. So it's very simple, very easy to say, well, we have this
many people who have gone to the hospital, this many people have
died. That's what it's got to be. But you can't compare that
to two decades of understanding influenza and when people show
up so it's, I find it irresponsible. Irresponsible
it's just more antitype said this to me me I said it's just a
you know, antitrust anything you can do to pound Trump is good.
And and so there's a lot of he doesn't know what he's talking
about stupid. And this was an interesting Trump rotation. This
was an interesting little controversy here. We had one
person die in Washington State. Here's the President talking
about it. At this
moment. We have 22 patients in the United States currently that
have Coronavirus. Unfortunately, one person passed away
overnight. She was a wonderful woman, a medically high risk
patient in her late 50s.
Wonderful one. And now we go to CBS,
Washington state public health officials gave new details and
an afternoon press conference about the circumstances that led
to the man's death.
A person who died was a patient at Evergreen hospital, but
underlying health conditions. It was a male in his 50s.
So when I hear this, I'm like, okay, is the President lying? Is
he stupid? That was a lot. This is MSNBC with my important
part, and that is confirmation that an American has died in
Washington State.
We had early reports that it was a mail and release from the
governor of Washington referred to our hearts go out to his
family and friends. The President then said that it was
a woman in her 50s as the the governor of Washington's press
release has been changed to make reference to there. So we are
unclear. We do not have confirmation. We're trying to
get confirmation, but we do know that the first US citizen has
died. I still don't know if it was a man or a woman. But this
just goes to show you how stupid everything is. Are we
overreacting?
Yes, yes.
I'm hearing this from doctors left and
right. Yes. And we're not overreacting. The press is
overreacting. And it makes me feel or this press press should
not be reporting this as Dr. Drew medical stories as though
they know how to
I heard Dr. Drew is really irked about this. Yeah, Dr. Do. Are we
overreacting? Yes, yes.
I'm hearing this from doctors
left and right. Yes. And we're not overreacting. The press is
overreacting. And it makes me furious. The Press should not be
reporting medical stories as though they know how to report
it. We will if we have an app pandemic, I won't know how to
tell that we're actually having a pandemic because everything is
an emergency. People that are infectious disease specialists,
the CDC, the epidemiologist need to take this very seriously. The
Press needs to shut up because you're more likely to die of
influenza right now. However, in May I'm not trying to go against
you but I have a question. It is now beat SARS in terms of
fatalities. 362. And their Tality rate is still lower, but
their spreads fast. It's a mild illness, it spreads all over the
place and it's only out of the 17,000 and documented effect
that I bet there's hundreds of 1000s of cases 300 deaths, okay
and always in immunocompetent compromised people always in
people that are at risk for these sorts of things. If they
get a severe viral respiratory infection, whether it's flu or
corona or whatever. All of these can hurt people who are
compromised. They can the rest of us need to wash our hands
carefully get our influenza vaccines. Listen to the CDC. If
there's a problem, they will let us know the CDC made it very
clear that 5000 People just in the last two weeks have died
from the flu here in America. Why are we panicked about that
route? People died on the streets of Los Angeles this
morning from homelessness, worrying if that were
Coronavirus people freaked the hell out? Why aren't we putting
our parties in the right place? It's the press.
Yes, the press. And there's reasons for this. And there's
beneficial reasons. This was just something could not be.
Could be something maybe I'm just reading too far into it.
Tim Cook was interviewed by I think it was CNBC. And of
course, because China is where all their stuff is made, the
issues came up, and also the stock price, the
stock market obviously is reacting. And Apple has been
down in the past few weeks. For someone that creates value
inside America's largest company. Do you think there's
value that investors are missing? Well,
my my perspective, I don't, I don't really focus on the short
term gyrations of the market. I think, for me, in the way we run
the company, we work for the long term, and I see no long
term difference between what was happening four weeks ago versus
what's happening today. And so now the market takes time to
recognize that and so forth and it will do what it's going to do
and I'm the last person to be able to predict it. But I would
you know for me, I look through that look through the noise and
concentrate on the future and the future looks
very bright. You might be able to get Apple at a discount or
15% discount
we are a buyer right we you know we have a share repurchase plan
and so
yes, this might be an opportunity to maybe up to share
repurchases for Apple
I don't want to announce anything on the on the air but
but everybody knows that we're buying we're buying shares and
the stock is lower. You buy more shares for the same amount of
money so
Bonanza this is going to be a bonanza for these Dick wads.
Yeah, what not? I mean, Apple's been a net buyer since Carl
Icahn first got involved in the company a couple of years ago
they've been doing this of course he consistently month
after month. Of course of course I still think they're buying
high but okay, if you think it's a bonanza. Can we play this CBS
report this is the yesterday's. This is yesterday's update of
the Coronavirus story from the mainstream media on CBS. And
just so we can get a little perspective on what they want to
beat is actually doing
breaking news tonight President Trump addressed the nation today
announcing the first Coronavirus death in this country, a patient
in Washington State. The president says there's no reason
for panic. He plans to meet with drug companies on Monday to
discuss vaccines. The outbreak has now spread with at least 65
cases across nine states. There have been three new cases today
all in Washington State and Wall Street has been infected. The
Dow lost more than 3500 points this week. A 12% Drop. CBS is
Steve Dorsey is at the White House. There's no
reason to panic in and
abruptly arrange the White House news conference President Trump
tried to reassure the country his administration is taking
unprecedented actions to contain the virus. It comes after he
accused Democrats of trying to weaponize it against him at a
South Carolina rally last night. This is their new hoax. And
today he doubled down the hoax
was used with respect to Democrats and what they were
saying it was a hoax. What they were saying
but the President's critics say he's the one putting politics
ahead of public health.
The problem is when you have the highest levels of the Trump
administration actively using words like hoax, it sends a very
dangerous thing no to the American people. We want folks
to take this seriously.
Meanwhile, the White House is announcing new travel
restrictions on foreign nationals who have recently
visited Iran. It's also now telling Americans to avoid
traveling to areas in Italy and South Korea most affected by the
virus.
It's certainly not a good situation where you lose travel.
That's a big part of market. But for a period of time we're gonna
have to do whatever is necessary safety health number one that we
were the markets will take care of themselves.
The President also stepped up pressure today on the Fed to cut
interest rates to help protect the economy. Thank you very
much.
They're talking 50 basis points. Yeah. And I don't know much
about the stock market. I've done some technical day trading
I see a beautiful double bottom on the spy on the spider. I
think that's done I think we've hit the bottom unless the pope
dies and that is unless that's like it if who knows that he's
been holed up in his in his chambers for the past three
days. If the pope dies, then all bets are off if we can keep
that. Yeah, he's in the strike. So keep that mofo alive and
we're pretty good. Let's compare SARS to Coronavirus for a
moment.
Aaron authorities here do not know exactly how or where the
man contracted this virus. All we know is that a Qatari man is
in critical condition with a Corona virus. This is the same
class of virus that causes the common cold, but also SARS. Now
unlike SARS, this virus doesn't just cause severe respiratory
illness, it also seems to cause kidney failure. Now,
fortunately, it doesn't seem to spread as quickly as SARS. But
this is something that medical medical authorities still are
trying to figure out. What they do know is that a second patient
was diagnosed earlier in June with that same virus, that
patient died. And what authorities are looking at now
is to see whether or not these two patients were in any way
connected, and how or where these two may have contracted
that virus and that will help authorities figure out whether
or not this virus is spreading or whether it is already much
more widespread.
Just to show you we've been around has been merged though.
You're that clip? That clip was from 2012. Yeah, that
was a merge. Yeah,
I wasn't SARS. No, I just wanted to put it in there. Oh, yeah.
Okay, just to show we've been through this. We've seen it.
We've been around the block, we got the DVD, the t shirt, the
bumper sticker, calm, bump down, calm down people. And you're
right, it is just more reason to go after the president, which I
find that's when you're talking about life and death, even
though it's not all that horrible. It's really messed up.
What what the press is doing? In fact, this is Fauci, who is you
know, I'm not a fan of Fauci, by the way, the guy who owns
patents on viruses, he's a total douchebag. But he's been in, in
this business for a long time through multiple
administrations, people trust him. So he canceled several
appearances on the Sunday shows, and immediately, this is what
the press does.
Thank you, Mr. President. And I'm just going to ask you
directly about this with regard to the flow of information. From
the very beginning, you received a lot of criticism regarding
that, in particular, about Dr. Anthony Fauci. He is world
renowned in contagious diseases. And there were reports out there
that he was being muzzled. Can you tell us that this widely
respected expert, Dr. Fauci will have every opportunity to tell
us the truth?
Or just his question? Because he has, because he has had that
ability to do virtually whatever he's wanted to do. And in fact,
in fact, he was never muzzled. Okay. I think I can speak you
can speak when you speak to them. very dishonest question,
but that's okay.
I want to clarify, I want to clarify,
let me let me clarify it. I have never been muzzled. Ever. And
I've been doing this since the administration of Ronald Reagan.
I'm not being muzzled by this administration. What happened,
which was misinterpreted, is that we were set up to go on
some shows. And when the Vice President took over, we said,
Let's regroup and figure out how we're going to be communicating.
So I had to just stand down on a couple of shows and re submit
for clearance. And when I resubmitted for clearance, I got
cleared. So I have not been muzzled at all. That was a real
misrepresentation of what happened.
Yeah. Well, I can't wait until the media says he's he's been co
opted. He's been hypnotized by the President.
Yeah, that's good. He's,
he's gone off the reservation. We can't trust him anymore.
Fauci is one of them.
Oh, yeah. This is what they did with bar. Yeah.
And you know, you've you know, you've reached Go ahead.
No, that's very funny that you make that out. Because that's
exactly what they do. First they accuse the President is
something that didn't happen and they do it. Dishonest question,
as he says, and then the guy who's gets the focus, it says,
Hey, no, no, nothing happens to the guy sold out.
Sold out. That's the one. He's a multi millionaire owns patents
to multiple vaccines sell out? Sure. But you know, you've
reached peak Coronavirus, when Fox Business News brings you
this one
four legged furry friends. We're talking about all ourselves.
We're focused on ourselves, you know, buying perishables trying
to prepare for whatever's going to happen in the next coming
months or weeks or so. But whatever about our pets, the FDA
is now seeing that six out of the 32 companies here in the
United States that make active drugs for pets could be facing
supply issues. Why is that because they get some of their
active ingredients from China. They've already issued just
they're talking about the fact that there could be disruptions
there haven't been any disruption so I don't want to
alarm any of our viewers right now. But we know that on the CDC
not trying to alarm me by shout ag website, they are warning us
to get non perishable items and to stock up on possibly
medication. Now you may have to consider that for your pets
given this industry. Truus worth about $75 billion if we can see
it on the screen right now, but there's some stocks They pulled
up Zoetis. They're well known in the industry in the United
States for Animal Health. I was just speaking with an investment
banker earlier this morning who said he flew down to Texas for a
deal. He went to go shake the CFOs hand, and the CFO for this
deal refused to shake his hand for fear of catching something.
And it wasn't just the CFO, it was one of his colleagues as
well. So I feel like the the fear factor seems to be
escalating a little bit even spread yet here in the United
States, but people are definitely taking precautions,
especially when it comes to your pets. Yep.
But those those anecdotal stories actually
are very important. Very important. They're anecdotal.
are important because that's the mood of the country. I will need
to assess the anxiety level in the country. Good stuff.
Cover your ears. Give me a cover your kids ears. Yeah. Fuck you,
Barney.
I was watching Kimmel. And I don't remember the guest. But
one of the guests comes out and refused to shake hands or hug.
And so chemo came up with a fist bump. Yeah. And the guest No,
no, no. And he said no, let's do elbow What?
No need knee bump.
Know what he I think was a foot bump. Did you watch it?
Wasn't the one with the sledge injure but that was their first
game was the mental
note you won't be forced. It
wasn't a Better Call Saul the actor. Yeah, it
was I thought it was I didn't know was a neat bump. I thought
it was a foot kick, whatever. It was stupid. It was totally
stupid. Come
over here. I'll put my tongue in your mouth. Well, no, I won't do
that. But you know what, I'm just kind of the idea.
That was Rogen.
Now that would be legendary.
That would be that would be gradings.
Now one other thing I do want all producers to pay attention
to. We've heard the calls for the president said two and a
half billion dollars, which is really only a billion because we
already had this money set up. January 29. The President
announced his Coronavirus panel of experts. And if you recall,
what was the media's response? Remember what CNN said about the
President's Coronavirus Task Force?
Losers?
No. Look at the picture Coronavirus task force another
example of Trump administration's lack of
diversity, no black people? No, that's all they could say about
it on the 29th of January. And the people who are in and on the
task force are quite accomplished. But of course, no
one's gonna look at it. Now. What you need to look at is
Chuck Schumer said no, not at all. We need eight and a half
billion minimum we need a billion this will all be put
together in the Coronavirus spending bill now was talking to
keep her about this yes that she didn't know this and it's it
warrants re explanation. When big bills go through National
Defense Authorization Act, you know any spending bill there
will often be line items in there known as pork, which will
have zero relation to what is at the topic at hand. So the
National Defense Authorization Act will have something in there
for a post office lon these are all the goodies This is the
negotiation that goes on in the smoke filled rooms to get the
bill passed. The Patriot Act, which has enabled massive spying
on United States citizens by the government is due to expire on
March 13 12/13. If it's not reauthorized, the authorization
to spy and many other things within some good but most of
them egregious and crap in the Patriot Act will not get
reauthorized. Pay attention to the Coronavirus spending bill. I
guarantee you there's going to be some little gotchas in there
that will be jammed through that will reauthorize some parts of
the Patriot Act. We've got to pay attention to that because
that's how these eight holes would do it. Big fear gotta
spend it got to put it through got to do it don't pay any
attention and they slip it in. And that should come up any day
now. It should be it should it should be on the on the house or
the floor. Perhaps this coming week it should be at least and
that is your Coronavirus updates.
You've got Roan.
Now we live another day.
Well while all this is going on. The big story that what do you
think the big worldwide story is? At least I have my opinion.
The big not reported at all we don't care is growing.
Because I see your clips. I know what it is already I can already
line it up.
We'll line it up it's locus.
In northern Kenya, the next generation of locusts has
already been born. But as the plague multiplies and spreads a
cricket and the Horn of Africa, governments hit by violence or a
lack of supplies are struggling to hold back the tide. In a
region where 19 million people already go hungry. The UN's Food
and Agricultural Organization Representative to Kenya Dr.
Tobias tak of a Russia says it's a disaster that eclipses all
others.
It is a big threat. It is a biggest threat. Much as we will
say drought is a threat, much as we say that floods can be a
threat, but if you're trying to rank them, I think they're all
set. But does it look a situation is in unprecedented
fatal food security.
A single square kilometre swarm can eat as much food in a day as
35,000 people and the FAO warned last month that left unchecked
the number of locusts in East Africa could explode by 500
times by June when eggs as they have been doing recently in
Kenya's archers post. The young locusts or hoppers are
earthbound for two weeks and are more vulnerable to spraying. But
this month, Kenya the region's wealthiest and most stable
country ran out of pesticide for about a week and a half, leaving
residents and farmers to watch helplessly as the crops they
count on to feed their families were devoured. Yeah,
I have. I've had been following this a little bit, but only when
you turn on Pluto TV. Will you see this report anywhere? Yeah,
it's just unbelievably horrible. Nobody's reporting on it. It's
good. I mean, if I was a news director, I It's good material.
If radio is great, four or five people, the videos are fabulous.
Let's Play Part Two. That's
disturbing because you've never seen anything like this. And
also when they land on vegetation, they eat everything,
even the grass if this continues, they will eat all the
vegetation. In neighboring Uganda, the military has been
deployed handspring trees in the morning before locusts take
flight. Somalia where the infestation was first reported
in December can't provide security to Exterminators.
Ethiopia needs 500,000 litres of pesticide for the upcoming
harvest and planting season. But the country's single pesticide
factory is struggling to produce its maximum 200,000 litres as
foreign exchange shortages have delayed the purchase of
chemicals. The
pesticides are available, but the pesticides require financial
resources before they can be released.
The FAO says containing the plague will cost at least 138
million US dollars. So far donors have pledged 52 million
at Where's Bill Gates Where's Bill Gates? All he's always
writing about it.
38 million wishes a lot of money to kill some bugs. 138 million
Bill Gates I get put in you can name him You can name Bezos
there's all these guys. This is like no chump change because
they're black John, they don't care. They're racist. I don't
know if that's true, but it sounds sounds good. Let's look
at the 10 plagues of Egypt of which the locusts is one water
turning to blood I don't think we have an example of that yet.
The frog bola Ebola Okay, frogs, the frogs, lice or gnats? Lice
is definitely all over the place. Wild animals Yeah. I
don't know. pasturelands of livestock boils. thunderstorm.
hail and fire. There you go. Dark darkness California.
Darkness for three days and death of firstborn babies. Now
we're ahead of the game so far. I think we're doing okay. Yeah.
Doing okay. Yeah, it's it's very interesting how actual news is
just pushed away by something that is handy to scare people
with and it's done by amateurs. These these news people are
amateurs they don't know what they're doing. And they don't
care. They don't care incompetent.
It's just like, Why does anybody read these these publications?
Or watch these TV shows? They don't give it there's nothing
else is this by the way? The local story is exciting if
you're a news person.
No, that's not for these news. People are
gonna do it Trump got after Trump. Well, the only
here's how I would spin it. Now. Here's how I would spin it. Let
me see if I can do this. You would have to be something like
just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. Are the
president already ignoring Coronavirus? No, the heavens
above are showing us how scary he is with locusts.
I could turn it into a story. Some ways this is ways of doing
it. The only major I got other international stories, but I
think we need to take a break. But I do want to get this one
out of the way which is the dare isn't Afghanistan story flow not
as it was
just a small story smaller.
Yeah, we've only been fighting this war for 18 years. But this
was this actually was on CBS. So it's not completely I think it
was on Saturday is not completely ignored by the
mainstream, but it could have been, I think it's a little more
important than then Trump guys calling a man a woman.
The United States today signed a historic peace agreement with
the Taliban, it could end America's longest war, which
began after September 11 2001, MCs tyeb as the details.
For a war that started with such fury, the first real step
towards ending it was his gentle pen stroke. The agreement signed
by the US and Taliban top negotiators was also quite
literally written on the wall, a peace deal. nearly 90 years
after 911, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was there to witness
it. We recognize America shouldn't fight in perpetuity in
the graveyard of empires. If we can help Afghans forge peace,
we believe that the Afghan people are ready to
start their own course forward. The course forward follows more
than a year of tough negotiations, the Trump
administration is promising to pull out 5000 Of the roughly
13,000 US troops currently in Afghanistan, within 135 days,
and in 14 months, a full withdrawal.
The job we've done is been fantastic, a fantastic one in
terms of terrorists and terrorism. And it's time for our
people to start coming home. But only
if the Taliban keeps up its side of the bargain, which requires
it to sever ties with al Qaeda, and to negotiate power sharing
with other Afghan political factions. Not part of the deal.
protecting the rights of women and minorities were so brutally
repressed the last time the Taliban was in power. But after
a trillion dollars spent and 1000s of lives loss, if you want
to see the fighting continue. This really is the beginning of
the end. If you type CBS us love it.
Yeah. Did you look at the details of this deal? No, I
didn't. I did. And I think it's a drug deal. I'm sure that
because we're going to leave at 400 troops there, which is kind
of what we had before we put in a few more. So there's an end
we're going to allow 5000 Taliban to be let out of
incarceration as as part of the as part of the deal. So I think
to me, it to me, it's like okay, you got your guys to get the
drugs and you got us to go ship them back. I mean, there's no
way we can leave there. We need to continue to ship the drugs.
Yeah, we're the drug dealer. And we also have to protect the
lithium from the Chinese.
Exactly. And Iran is not happy with any of this. Iran is really
like good. They don't like it. They're the ones
where they haven't been happy since we first talked to the
Taliban pointed telling us Well, I think
they're the ones that killed a few people when they were
supposed to go to Camp David and then have the meeting. And then
Trump blew him off he said out of these wise guys, but I think
the Iranians did part of that. It's a messy part of the world.
Let someone else have it.
Yeah, the Turks. There you go.

much better. You're keeping them short. Some of them appear to be
produced, which is incredibly appreciated. And this of course,
is not only for people to see each other face to face to meet
like minded people who are not triggering that which is
incredibly healthy. But it is also your way to to feed back
into the show just like the donation segments. So we'll go

French fries with that on nachos or french fries.
Yeah, narstie. Crew good group though. Well, I mean, just
listen to these people. I mean, who doesn't want to be a part of
that? I mean, I wanted to be there. A couple of my ones. I
want to be all of them.
It'd be great. We played a little spot to spook. Yes.
Oh, just for your data points. Steven Spielberg has pulled out
of the new Indiana Jones movie, which is supposed to start
filming this summer. Steven Spielberg
pulled out of the French Academy show for this bizarre awards.
After Polanski won it I mean play this Pulaski causes stir
clip. Oh, interesting.
I had a different take on it but good.
The renowned French film awards this is ours held their 45th
ceremony on Friday evening, but they took a dramatic turn when
convicted child rapist Roman Polanski won the award for Best
Director, Actor SHL I know a figurehead of Francis Mewtwo
movement stormed out of the hall shouting shame while she was
followed by a few others. A couple of 100 protesters rallied
outside the venue before the event started calling up the
choice to celebrate Polanski's work, when activists said that
supporting the director's work stopped victims from coming
forward. Polanski said this was a public lynching, but he was
convicted of raping a 13 year old girl in the US in 1977. He
pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse. With a minor
and fled the country on the eve of his sentencing, he's faced
multiple accusations of rape since then. This is the fifth
time Polanski has won Best Director at this as ours. But
this time the academy resigned on mass. Two weeks ago, the
whole board of the awards stepped down. A general meeting
will soon be held to elect a new board, which the academy says
will work to implement reforms in modernization.
Well, this is interesting because it plays into what I was
going to inform you of is that Spielberg pulling out of the new
Indiana Jones movie is a big deal. Moreover, because it is a
Disney film, and so we have apparently some very old audio
and or videotapes of casting that Spielberg was doing asking
very inappropriate questions of child actors. Remember Bob Iger
just resigned from Disney's a lot of pedo stuff circling
around
going on
some smells bad so I don't know I don't know why No, but I know
a lot of people that watch he's not gonna direct that you got
any more gems like that?
Oh, that's the gym of gyms is pretty well, we
can just we can go right now. You
got a couple things just get out of the way. These are short.
Okay. Oh, let's play the Space X rocket blows up so we know that
happened.
A spectacular explosion of a SpaceX rocket. The starship
super rocket blew up late Friday night. During a test near
Brownsville, Texas. The rocket designed to very cruise to the
Moon and Mars was destroyed. The blast could be heard and felt
for miles around. Yeah,
I heard it. I heard it. The ground shook. Really? No.
No. I didn't even know it.
I don't care example of lousy reporting. Okay, I'm only gonna
show the trader the trader JpE LAUSD reporting
Trader Joe has died. Joe cologne was 89 he opened his first
quirky grocery store in Pasadena, California 53 years
ago. Now there are more than 500 Trader Joe's in over 40 states.
They don't want to mention this is actually now owned by the
German grocery store chain. Yes, it's all D. Yeah, oldie but they
don't mention that that mean because it's not Trader Joe's.
You know, I hate that.
In fact, the way I understood the story is that the two there
were two brothers. In the end, they're going to take over this
supermarket business in the United States. Yeah. But then
the one brother didn't want to sell tobacco products. So then
he bought Trader Joe's because he didn't want to be a part of
the Aldi selling tobacco.
But yeah, they had a they had a tiff this whole
Trader Joe was a hashtag. Oh, rip Trader Joe's. I love your
place, man.
It had anything to do with
oh, well, oh, well, Twitter.
Good story on another underplayed story that nobody's
talking about but it's a it's a jam, because you know, I think
if it wasn't for, for coronaviruses would have been
played up a little bit. China Olympic doping scandal like the
Russians. Oh boy.
China's three time Olympic gold medalist son Yang expressed his
shock of being handed an eight year ban on Friday for a dope
test violation that ruled him out of the Tokyo Games, and said
he would immediately appeal the decision. The Court of
Arbitration for Sport earlier accepted an appeal from the
world anti doping agency against a decision by swimming's
governing body to clear son of wrongdoing for his conduct
during a 2018 test. Cast said the eight year ban was imposed
because the 28 year old already had an earlier anti doping rule
violation against him. Son expressed his anger at the
decision staying in a statement. I firmly believe in my
innocence, believed that facts must overcome lies. The Chinese
swimmer is the reigning world and Olympic champion in 200
meters freestyle, and won two gold medals in 2012, and another
in 2016. But it's also a controversial figure in the
sport. At the Rio Games, Australian rival Mack Horton
accused him of being a drug cheat and refused to share a
podium with sun at last year's World Championship. Whilst the
appeal hung over him as the British swimmer Duncan Scott,
who won 200 meters freestyle bronze icecast ruled that suns
World Championship results should remain because he passed
doping control before and after the 2018 test when his entourage
smashed vials containing blood samples taken out of
competition. The Chinese Swimming Association said it
deeply regretted the ruling and support his son in defending his
interests in our
I'm sure this is not being reported. The Chinese own so
much media I mean, do you know that they own like 15% of
Reddit?
And no, but why am I not surprised? Yeah,
well, that explains every that's explain why they're getting rid
of the Trump forums or whatever, the Donald or whatever it is. It
explains why there's dicks on our Reddit is Chinese who hate
us. I think,
well, maybe it wouldn't surprise me. Last story I want to play as
the new Trump has gone back to Radcliffe versus as head of the
DNI DNI. Yeah, DNI, Department of National Intelligence,
whatever is called. And of course, they're making a story
out of a fuss about it than mainstream media because they
don't like you know, Trump picks the guy's no good business to
this place. So we catch up. Yeah, I'm just not sure Well,
honcho,
that's what I wanted.
President Trump so praise John Radcliffe, his pick once again
to be the nation's top spy.
Alright, the guy he cut out because it was they were coming
up with some oppo research on him that he had inflated his
academic career or something,
but at some bullshit or something that wasn't necessary,
so he took some time to go erase the problem provided.
Catherine herridge reports he's a controversial choice to lead
the nation's 17 intelligence agencies. In his first
television interview since the announcement, Texas Congressman
Republican John Radcliffe pushed back against charges. He's not
qualified to lead the intelligence agencies.
I've been handling national security issues as far back as
2005.
But critics say you've never held a job in the intelligence
community.
I think what we've seen is that some of our most experienced
intelligence officials have gotten it wrong with respect to
important issues.
I want you to respond to critics who say President Trump puts
loyalty ahead of experience
my experience as a US attorney on national security issues as a
legislator almost exclusively in these areas that was important
to him. Loyalty, what we've talked about is my loyalty to
the Constitution. Bill Radcliffe was
a passionate defender of the president during the Russia
probe, and more recently impeachment. He was among the
first to flank irregularities in the surveillance of a Trump
campaign aide. I've had a very
public role. And I've demonstrated that I've been
right on some of these most important issues.
Radcliffe was tapped last summer for the job, but it was
withdrawn after allegations he patted his resume. What's
changed?
I reconsidered because the President asked me and I think
when the President asked you to do something for your country,
you look at that just because someone in your business accuses
you doesn't make it true.
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam
Schiff, called him unqualified. Can you get through the
confirmation process?
I think that I'll have the support of all Republicans at
the end of the day, I'm going to work hard to convince at least
some of my Democratic colleagues on the other side of the aisle.
Congressman Ratcliffe tells CBS News he expects the confirmation
process to move quickly. And if confirmed, Ratcliffe said one
priority is ensuring the intelligence community becomes
entirely a political.
Well, this is the guy that has to do it. This national security
bureaucracy, which I've named myself stands for NSB look it up
historically. There has to stop when these are these this is the
problem is these Intel agencies, 17 of them. He's got he's got to
do something about that.
Yeah. Well, he's got a mind too. So we'll see. Yeah, I think so.
I think he was ahead of mind to before and I thought they
rousted him. He's the one who withdrew his is his resume and
is application Desana, which may be in the room. He got driven
out in a back maybe
in the purge of the the National Security Council, maybe they got
rid of some elements that were bothersome, and now he's coming
in. I don't know. Bibi. Can we call it?
I think we're good. All right.
I think we're very good. But we're also at the end of the
show.
And we're also late and what's
late, what's late.
