You think you'll think Al Gore, Adam curry, John C. Devorah. And
Sunday April 22 2018. This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode 1027 This is no agenda. Proud to be
your Abercrombie and broadcasting live from the
capital of the drone Star State Austin J House. Clooney. Oh, in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry and from
Northern Silicon Valley life lost my clever retort. I'm
Johnson and Bushkill.
So sorry, I know you're you're angry at yourself for having
lost your clever retort. Yes. But um, the Abercrombie there, I
threw in a topical thing. They just taught me what Abercrombie
meant, and I figured Yeah, that's me.
Yeah. Yeah, I've
got this list of she called the dirty 30s. It's on the internet
as a huge list of slang from the 30s because we've been talking
about this sort of thing on the show, you know, incessantly.
Yeah. Like this phrase from the shades of breathes its language.
Well, this sort of language. Yes. Let's go. You want to go
over a few of these are quite funny. Yeah, give
me Abercrombie. First, everyone knows that I'm Abercrombie.
No at all.
Boom, boom, count one. Abyssinia. Abyssinia, Abyssinia,
someone who plays hooky. I'll be seeing you. Oh, that's what
Abyssinia means. Here. Okay.
Okay, here's one this is all these all mean the same thing
Asus known as a hot Nabil. A lot of weeks. Swell. Keen, cool.
Keen. We need to reintroduce keen.
Yeah, I know we should. That means very good, of course.
Thanks for doing the extra newsletter. I thought that was
appropriate for for 20. Well, I guess I got to tell you a story
though. So on Friday, I had to go get some rolling papers. So I
go to you know, go to my favorite shop here in Austin.
And it's filled with kids, school going kids and they're
carrying signs. I'm like, wait, are they protesting the head
shop? This is no good. But no. These kids are so smart. They
had organized a school walkout on Friday for 20 and they were
in there were their school walkout signs you know like
which was the 19 years of Columbine by and blunt mean
buying blunts buying cigars Swisher Sweets you know for
blunt Hello? I don't know this well you know the swish or
switch cigars? I have no idea we've never seen this oh it at
the 711 you can buy a cigar it's like a single cigar and a
plastic wrapping. And it's nasty it's it's a Swisher you've never
heard of Swisher Sweets.
No. Okay.
So then you bore out the this particular kind of cigar is
good, because it's not anything. It's not really an actual cigar.
It's just a bunch of tobacco breasts together. And it's
really sweet and sickly. And then you bore a hole in it. And
then you stuffed marijuana in there and you smoke it. It's
called a blunt.
Kind of blunt was just a big fat joint.
No, no. Well, the origin of the word maybe. But that's beside
the point. I thought it was interesting that these kids had
the school walkout and they're all in the head shop getting
stuff for getting home getting stoned. Well, it's for 20. Yeah,
well, it's brilliant. We need to and we need to have this
state of the education system in this country is what it tells
me.
Okay, good. I can kick it right off there. Jordan Peterson was
on
Bill Maher.
And it was a it I mean, the whole episode is really worth
watching.
Because what is more, what is Mars position about Peterson?
Oh, he likes him very much. And in fact, this clip shows them in
camaraderie. Together, yes. And there were a bunch of dementia B
people going nuts on this panel. But this is about well, this is
Peterson saying you know, answering the question Where did
all of this political correctness come from? When did
we turn into such a snowflake nation? That's almost literally
what morass.
So where did it come from? Why did we get how did we get to
this place where we're so fragile, the Safe Space people?
I think I think that you can pretty much blame it on the
universities. I think that they've pursued, especially in
the humanities and and in the social sciences as well if
they've pursued a policy of a radical leftist policy with an
overlay of post modernism, which kind of a literary criticism
approach that's produced. at all of this as far as I can tell, I
think you could lay a lot of it at the feet of faculties like
the faculties of education there was a an article in the
Chronicle of Higher Education this week just that just just
devastated the faculties of education taking them to task
for low academic standards and for possession by ideology and
for and for for basically indoctrinating people in a cult
like manner and playing identity politics and group identity and
no free speech. They seem to there was an incident in Fresno
State I don't know if you saw this But Barbara Bush died.
Okay, some professor there, tweeted something nasty I
wouldn't have tweeted at it she called Barbara Bush a racist and
said she raised war criminals. Okay, you know, it's it's the
timing this grad likes it but but I mean, it's it's it's nasty
and she's they're considering suspending your and here's what
the president of the university said. He said this was beyond
free speech. This was disrespectful. Hopefully, we
lost the thread back to knowing what free speech is. Yes, it can
be disrespectful that is covered under free speech. president of
Fresno Christ.
What I find so interesting is that the crowd that is typically
completely all in on this stuff is now applauding Bill Maher for
what he's saying. Which is a typical for their position, I
think.
I don't think so. I think they straddle, they don't straddle a
and b but they straddle kind of the different angles of B. Okay,
fair enough. But anyway, they're still they still hate Trump. I
can assure you
I didn't I tried to find some clips. I had hoped someone to
put together one of those super mashups because all I heard and
now I'm pissed I didn't get any live recordings off the
telescreen. All I heard on MSNBC, which I'm still watching
diligently was hooker. This hooker, this? Uh, hookers,
hookers, hookers. Oh, Trump and his hookers? Well, we can't
wait. Let's talk about hookers. Oh, look at they were all jiggy
with it. Like, excuse me. This is a class of people who are
called sex workers. Surely you dimensi B people should know
that it was really pushed
to be more respectful. It was really rude back to match B. I
mean, dimension B in my
Oh, boy. He's Yeah, you're getting sucked in our dimension
be people. The heel bots. Yes. They are the ones who promote is
all you have to have respect for the sex workers. Yeah. And this
isn't showing any respect. These people are completely nuts.
But they were just they were GT. GT.
Cars. Yes. Oh, did he say what did you say about the hookers? I
don't know. What did you say? hookers? hooker's hookers, their
sex obsessed these people? And it's rude. It's really rude.
Yeah, there's there's this there's legitimate. There's
legitimacy to sex workers in different, you know, all kinds
of forms. You know, my stance on this, but it's also been it's
proven. It's like law.
Yeah, a lot less sex offender free. Have you like
prostitution? That's a known fact.
So it was that and it was the Starbucks stuff. Did you get any
clips on the Starbucks stuff?
No, I didn't. But I do have something on the sex workers
kind of Okay. Call me. This has to do with Comey notes. Yes.
Comey takes copious notes. Now, and I've said this before on the
show, and people don't. A lot of people don't realize Comey
right. And all this stuff down. He do it after the fact. There
are people in business who learned this habit. It's not a
bad thing to know. And I think Comey learned it when he was in
banking. That you have, every time you have a meeting or you
talk to anybody, you write down. This is usually a do in front of
them. This is really
a CIA thing. I mean, I've seen Uncle Dom do this just having a
chat. And I'm sorry, I can't help myself as agency still in
me. And he's just writing stuff down that we're talking about.
Yeah, well, it's not just an agency thing, though. Because
I've seen people do it in oil companies. Chevron, I used to be
inspect Chevron. And every time I went to this one guy's office,
he would rubber stamped a sheet, put my name on it, and then he
take notes. Wow. And then he's rubber stamp another timecode on
there and then when I left. So here's Comey. I thought this was
kind of interesting, because most of these things are pretty
pretty, pretty dubious. But this I thought was a cool clip about
Comey his notes,
among them for the first time the President's own concern
about his first National Security Adviser Michael Flynn,
that he lacked judgment. Here's ABC chief White House
correspondent Jonathan Karl tonight.
It's 15 pages of meticulous description written in real
time, detailing the reactions of a president and an FBI Director
James Comey wrote the first one that day he met the president
elect briefing him at Trump Tower. I just wanted to get it
done and get out of there. As soon as he got back to his car,
Comey started typing, noting, I wrote this less than five
minutes after the meeting, and I've tried to use actual word
spoken. He recounts briefing Trump on the so called Steel
dossier that claimed the Russians had videotaped Trump
with prostitutes in Moscow. Comey writes, Trump interjected
there were no prostitutes. There were never prostitutes. In a
later meeting at the White House. Comey writes, the
president said the hookers thing is nonsense, but that Putin had
told him, We have some of the most beautiful hookers in the
world. The Russians deny that conversation ever took place.
The Comey memos also recount the now famous meeting in the Oval
Office, where the President allegedly urged his FBI director
to go easy on fired National Security Adviser Michael Flynn,
telling Comey, I hope you can let this go. But in another
memo, Comey writes that Trump has serious reservations about
Mike Flynn's judgment. He says Trump was infuriated that Flint
had waited days to inform him that a foreign leader whose name
is redacted, had called to congratulate him on his
inauguration.
And so let's get to John Carl from West Palm Beach tonight.
And John, as you reported there, the name of that foreign leader
who called to congratulate President Trump was redacted in
the document but said that you've learned who it was.
I'm told it was Vladimir Putin and that because of the delay,
he didn't get a call back from President Trump for six days.
According to Comey, the President told him that if he
had to wait six days to get a return call, he would be very
upset.
Yeah, that's the story.
Yeah, well, it's a good story. But the hooker part was
interesting. Because having been to Russia, you've been there.
Yes. There are some unbelievably attractive females that are in
that profession. Well, I
I need to say that beyond I mean,
we're talking unbelievable. I,
I must say that I was there in 1988. And this is before the
Hoff brought down the wall, I must always remind people of
that. And it was David Hasselhoff who did it. And we
were warned explicitly to not go anywhere near hookers. Now you
say that to a whole bunch of guys and rock bands and, and me
like, Hey, let's go to the hooker boat. The experience that
I saw there, and by the way, no one that took advantage of the
services. A was not what you're thinking. They were really ugly.
It was really horrible.
So to the Intercontinental Hotel, then I take it.
No, no, no, that's where we were one day.
Two spots. Well, I was warned where they were. I went over on
the on a done the ticket with Auto Desk. And I was told by the
guy was going to rush all the time specific to places in
particular where they all were, they'll congregated there, the
upper floors of the Intercontinental. And then we're
also in the hallways and they're all over the place. There was
this when we were here. It wasn't much different than
yours. I was just I think the year the year before the before
the revolution.
Well, they steered me wrong. And I would say
and that was the Intercontinental is one other
place. I can't remember the name of it. But you'd go in there. I
didn't use the services. You but you go in there to God it was
Holy mackerel.
Well, that means a generous doubt.
Yeah, no. Well, there you go.
So Putin's telling the truth. I think he is.
Which isn't saying much for the country. No. Yeah.
All right. So I'm not quite sure why this is so important to them
about hookers. This hookers that and I'm sure it proves something
that it's a buzz. It's so how it proves Mahler's onto something I
really don't know. But I just it's just everyone seems to be
getting a big kick out of this when we asked her this hook or
that. And then now kind of at the same time we have this
lawsuit, which I think is is is a first that the one Democratic
Party is pretty much suing the other suing the other party or
the campaign and actually know by implication, WikiLeaks,
Russia. What's his face, Roger Stone. I mean, they're just
bringing everybody into this. And it's long have you seen this
thing?
I have not looked at it yet. Have you read? Yeah,
I read it. I started to read it but it's long.
Well, this was done in what during the Watergate era. And
this allows the Democrats to say well, just like Watergate, which
is one of the things on the Trump list, yeah. Watergate,
Watergate, Watergate. Watergate
is actually much worse. This is much bigger than Watergate.
Yes. Not because they don't have any proven that Watergate does
suit took place. The DNC sued the Republicans for a million,
which was in the 70. So I guess you know, those were 10 million
today. And it was, but they had already arrested actual
burglars. Yeah, there was. So it was a little a different kind of
a lawsuit. They have nothing to base this lawsuit on. In fact,
that Tom Perez, that creepy, incredibly creepy head of the
DNC was on with Judy, this is the DNC lawsuit, Tom Perez clip,
please interrupt as much as you can.
We return to the lawsuit filed by the Democratic National
Committee today against President Trump's campaign,
several top Trump advisors, WikiLeaks and the Russian
government. The DNC alleges a massive plot to interfere in the
2016 presidential election, in part by hacking the Democratic
Party's computer network. And by releasing stolen emails. I spoke
with Democratic National Committee Chair Tom.
So that fact which is just glossed over as fact, is
extremely irritating. Since we only know this from the Pew Pew
guys, the servers were never given to the FBI. Right. I think
that's what Trump is now tweeting about.
And the thing that I always like to recall is the data rate of
the stolen documents was higher than the network speed
indicating that somebody stole this and stuck it on a thumb
drive,
whereas a short time ago, and I started by asking why they filed
the suit, when the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Muller
is still underway.
Well, there are three reasons, Judy, first of all, we don't
know when director Muller will finish his investigation, and he
should take all the time he needs to do a thorough job,
I need to stop this for a second, I want to see if he is
completely on script. I have a clip where he does this exact
same thing with the three reasons I'm just going to play
him kind of next to each other. Let's see if this works.
Why did we do this now, George? Three reasons. Number one, in
order to file a civil suit, you got to make sure you're filing
it within the applicable statute of limitations. I don't know
when director Muller's investigation is going to end.
So we need to file now to protect our rights.
Okay. Is that what he said? Number one here?
I believe so I think you get an identical clips. Well, there
are three reasons, Judy, first of all, we don't know when
director Muller will finish his investigation. And he should
take all the time he needs to do a thorough job. We have to file
within a statute of limitations. And so if we sit and wait and
wait, then we're frankly committing legal malpractice. A
year ago, when I came to the DNC, it was clear to me that
we'd been hacked and we'd been hacked by the Russians. It was
less clear to me a year ago, whether there was a conspiracy
between the Russians and the Trump campaign, it has become
abundantly clear to me that there is that conspiracy, and
because we've done our homework, we filed this suit. And then
finally duty
was that number two, that was that we didn't You didn't number
it. Number two,
we've done our job. We've done our homework over the course. We
have story after story, brick after brick in the conspiracy
between the Russians and the Trump campaign to affect the
outcome of the election. I did my homework. We have a strong
case. So that's why we brought it
really good. That's fantastic. He's good. He's on messages, and
he's good at it. Yeah.
I'm very concerned about the upcoming elections is number
three civil lawsuits have an important purpose of deterrence.
And I hear from so many people across this country. They've
hacked before they interfered in 2016.
Judy goes right, right. Yes, they're packers, all of them
going to do it again. What are you going to do about it, Tom?
Well, I hear you, but Okay, let's
see what it does here for George,
we have to, we have to deter misconduct. We've got elections
coming up in November. It's hard to win elections, when you have
interference in elections, and they've done it with impunity.
And I'm concerned that it's going to happen again. So that's
why we did it now. is
fantastic. He's so onMessage. Back
to the point about conspiracy. This is something that we know
again, the Special Counsel Robert Mueller Stopstopstop,
something we know.
So this is when this clip ends you're going to understand he
claims there's a conspiracy. Yes. Yes, he did just want to
make everyone noticed that he says that we believe we have a
conspiracy before in front of us. And it's a wacky one, too,
by the way. I think putting WikiLeaks into makes it nutty,
but okay, it's gotta conspiracy Trump that, Republicans the
Russians, WikiLeaks. Since who knows?
Yeah, if you don't, if you don't mind, I'll just my clip like 20
seconds I'm done with it, he probably is the same thing that
he's about to say that we can just finish yours. Yeah, because
he may say this in a little different way.
I believe it's critically important here to seek justice
and to expose the truth in the civil justice system. Because,
frankly, as as General McMaster said a while ago, the Russian
misconduct that we have not imposed sufficient costs on
Russia for what they tried to do the election. That is true. What
he didn't say was why we know why this government didn't
impose sufficient costs, because they were conspiring with the
Government of Russia and aspire have to deter this conduct. We
also allow it to happen again, GEORGE
All right. So yeah, it's a conspiracy. In fact, what he's
presenting to us is a conspiracy theory
interfered? Yes. 16. And they're going to do it again. What are
you going to do about it, Tom?
Well, I hear you. But to get back to the point about
conspiracy. This is something that we know again, the Special
Counsel Robert Muller is looking into. We don't know yet the
public doesn't know yet. If that actually happened, it may appear
to some people that it did, but until the dots have been
connected, and there's some legal basis for that, are you at
risk in a lawsuit of getting ahead of of what are known
facts?
Well, I'm very comfortable with where we are now, I feel that we
have ample evidence to demonstrate in a civil
proceeding what we're doing, and we have a different burden of
proof. It's a lower burden of proof in a civil case. And so
I've dealt with this from the criminal side as a DOJ,
prosecutor. And I understand, and I have great respect for the
work that director Muller is doing. And we have, that we have
great respect that they will continue to do the independent,
thorough job that they need to do, but we also have we were
hacked, and they tried to cause chaos in the DNC and in the
Democratic Party, and we need to seek justice in a civil case and
we need to deter
let me ask you won't be surprised to know that there was
been a full throated response from the Trump campaign. I'm
just quoting their campaign manager who said this is a sham
lawsuit about a bogus Russian collusion, Clint claim filed by
a desperate dysfunctional and nearly insolvent Democratic
Party.
Well, I think they had their greatest hits of conspiracy
theories.
Now we're just measuring conspiracy theories.
That's Wait a minute saying that this lawsuit is a sham is that's
their greatest hits in conspiracy theories. Yes, this
crazy conspiracy theory that they're suing over. And then
they say, Well, we think that lawsuits without merit. Oh, you
guys are conspiracy theorists on believable.
Yeah. And I'm sure Judy, followed up though and said,
okay, just so you know, we're sure this is based on you've
said it three times. Now, the DNC servers being hacked or
email being hacked. She follows up on that. Right. And she asked
about that. And sure she died and inquiries, why they didn't
give the servers to the FBI and only gave it to the pew pew,
guys, yes,
none of these questions. She has no follow up that that softball
that he just threw at her with this conspiracy best of. She
just lets that go by. In fact, I have the next thing she says,
which is the part two of the clip, which also has a little
kicker in it that I thought was kind of interesting.
And, Judy, for your, for your viewers. I think it would be
interesting to go back to the Watergate era, because the DNC
filed lawsuits against the Nixon campaign back then. And the
response when that lawsuit was filed, was almost identical to
what we saw today. So it seems like the Trump folks and the
Nixon folks, once again, there's yet another thing that they have
in common, which is these false denials.
You mean, Nixon tweeted about Wendy Wasserman Schultz?
Yeah, apparently he did. It's you see now.
Trump has got to be listening to our show, make it up different
names for people. That's our beat, man. Back off. Now,
I went back and looked at the denials. The founder, yes. Of
the RNC of the DNC during the Watergate era, and there were he
did Perez says they were nearly identical. Yeah, they were
nothing identical. What do you have? This guy is a liar.
Do you have an example? Did you bring anything
about demagoguery and all the sudden Democrats are using it
they use all kinds of Democrat terms interesting to put down
the other side is just nothing like it's nothing like what what
they they never talked about a broke DNC or a
PBS supported by viewers like you. They did the same thing,
right? They went and looked and just fact checked on him. No,
fact check false. Let's just disappointing.
Yeah, she didn't do any good follow up questions. She's kind
of in agreement most of the time with these guys. She's getting
worse. I mean, she was, you know, when this whole thing
began, she was kind of okay. She was still being coming up here.
She would not be coming. She was a pretty objective journalist.
But now it's like smacking her lips and nodding her head. It's
ready to tear up.
I caught a, I forgot the guy's name. He was a former Hillary
Clinton aide at when she was Secretary of State. And now I
typically won't clip this guy even though I like him. He's
funny. Dan bond Gino. He's a regular on Fox. He's a former
secret service agent who worked protected Obama and the Obama
family. But I think he left during that tenure. And yeah,
it's totally dementia a raver. He's a host of a show on the NRA
TV mean, that kind of says enough. But oh, he is he said no
one in this conversation picked up really on what he was saying.
But it was very good. When he addressed this lawsuit and
really the collusion and the server, the Democrats with
maybe a new party policy if you can't meet him, sue him. The DNC
filing a lawsuit against the Trump campaign Russia WikiLeaks,
accusing all three of conspiring to disrupt the 2016 election. Is
this really the right message for the Democrats heading into
the midterms? Joining us to debate then Magina, the former
secret service agent and host of the Dan Bongino show and fully
brightness former senior adviser to Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton gentlemen, normally I would try to bring a debate like
this along but right now I feel like I've got two gladiators in
the ring. And I have to simply start this by saying Dan What do
you think
this this is a joke. It's a farce. I'm sure Philippe will
defend it and he'll throw out this whole Russian collusion
fairy tale again. But the bottom line is there collusion fairy
tale as entirely fallen apart. We've been at this for two years
is not a scintilla. Not a cent of evidence about actual
collusion on the Republican side. But there's a whole lot of
evidence that Felipe's former boss, colluded with a foreign
national from the UK, who colluded with foreign nationals
from Russia to produce a fake dossier used to spy on fake
American on using a fake dossier is fired by real Americans. That
should be the lawsuit.
If you don't think about it, because we just talk about steel
is steel. You know, we don't if steel were anything if he were
just an American guy, but no, he's a former British spook, who
was here was in contact with Russians who gave him false
information. So he has a very good point about the actual
collusion where it was taking place.
I agree
against Hillary Clinton.
react to that it was there a conspiracy on the Democratic
side,
of course, that if the RNC wants to sue or Dan wants to sue, they
should go ahead and do so there's no question that the
Russians tried to meddle and attack our election process.
Yes, the Russians did try to influence the election through
Hillary Clinton. We know that CDs are established.
She's gone now. So what are we doing? Oh, I like that. Did
he say she's dead? She's gone now?
I don't know. BackupPC? She's do I think he meant that kind of
metaphorically. She's dead. Okay,
through Hillary Clinton. We know that CDs are established. She's
gone now.
I think he says he Dan, she's gone now.
Dan. There's my Jimmy's gone. Bad enough. Funny thing about
the just go into the finish this. But I think one little
observation that we have to make in here. Is that what are the
Democrats think they're doing? I mean, I know what they're trying
to do is just stir up the pot to get you know, so the voters come
out for the 28 elections. Yes, which is the real goal. And
that's what they're doing a pretty good job of. But at the
same time, they're presenting evidence and facts and making
assertions that Hillary was gypped. She got railroaded by
the Russians. And you know, Trump was in with the Russians
and the Russians and Assange and all the rest of it screwed
Hillary, she would have won if it wasn't for this and that,
what is the well, how is that going to derail her running
again in 2020? Look, I would have wanted that lesser known
fact, everybody says, so why are you not that you run again? And
if she had been elected in 2016, she would have been running for
reelection in 2020. So the age thing wouldn't have been a
factor. Yeah. So
there's a call for you from management. We'd like you to
watch things in a box and leave. You
can't say this stuff.
So so they're setting up their own demise for 2020.
Well, I think it's also in a way cya. Cover your ass for 2018.
Let's say things Don't don't see the blue wave, then they'll just
roll it out again.
And it worse.
We'll see a blue eye if they can't pull this off. And I think
they're possible they'll blow it. Because they're fairly
creepy. It's creepy. And it's because they're creepy. Tom
Perez is a creepy guy. He's creepy as and all the other guys
that they wanted to have running the DNC, including their Muslim
guy, Ralph, Ralph guy. Yeah, who was just a hater. There's a
creepy group of people running the Democratic Party, that if
they don't get rid of these people put some sane people in
there. They're going to just be stuck. And they better take the
House and the Senate and 2018 I don't think they will. I don't
think they will.
What's what's even worse? If there is no blue wave, then the
Republicans will use this and blame it on Russia. Trust me on
this. They're all the same. They're all the same eight holes
just depends on what day it is in which way the wind is
blowing. I'm pretty sure that no matter who loses, it'll be the
Russians again.
Yeah, well, just convenient.
Not because we're talking about a lawsuit that your party is
filing against the Republicans and Trump for something your
candidate did. We know for a fact the Russians spoke to
Christopher Steele. We know that information made it into a fake
dossier used to spy. Why do you run from that?
Yeah, so and then Vaughn Gino in this next clip, last one, he
presses really hard on can you just answer why you guys didn't
give the server to the FBI that would have cleared so much up?
Were the DNC servers you allege were hacked by the Russians? Why
won't they turn those over to the FBI? Or even to BuzzFeed?
That's the mandate answer. If you're so sure the Russians
hacked why not turn them over
the FBI that didn't really go and they couldn't tell we're
asking Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Excuse me ask when you know it.
Okay. No, I know what I know is Dan, here's what
he tries to throw in this little joke, which I don't think you
got or earlier either. About a mystery about Debbie Wasserman
Schultz. So the Trump is tweeting about Debbie Wasserman
Schultz, the Juan brothers DNC hack, all related but the he the
first time he tweeted, he didn't say Debbie Wasserman Schultz, he
said Wendy Wasserman Schultz, which I thought was really
great. I don't know if that was a mistake or not, but that this
guy tries to cool it up a little bit this in this conversation by
saying, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Oh, I'm sorry, Wendy
Wasserman Schultz. It's subtle, but it shows you where his head
is that he's not really thinking about the question.
Here's me ask, What do you want? You know it? Okay. No, I know
what I know. It's Dan, here's what I know. Please let me talk
for a minute, you know, that literally, the Russians are
going to try this. Again, the Chinese are going to try this
again. Others are going to try this again. What exactly is our
Congress and our government doing to prevent it? Can you
name anything?
You still can't answer the question. I mean, Dan, the DNC
if they're so sure that Russians hack their servers, and
do you believe the Russian fleet, you said,
he still hasn't addressed the question. And number one, can he
acknowledge that Hillary worked with the Russians through a
foreign nationals? No
one who's Vladimir Putin that Hillary okay, but did she work
with them on
the dossier? To answer the question, when the advisors work
on the dossier? That's a fair question. And I can't hear
myself like let's leap answer just clearly. fleep. So weren't
there Clinton advisors working with Christopher Steele on the
dossier? Yes, no, no, they were not department.
He'd know. Oh, I don't know what was going on, say carpet.
Absolutely. Not your senior advisor at the State Department,
and I don't much when we were at the State Farm. Absolutely not.
Okay. It's a mess. It's a mess. I'll tell you. It's just Yes.
It's just horrible.
It's a big mess. I'm
telling you.
Man, it's getting it's boring. It makes television washing. So
boring.
Oh, I know. Well, they had the Barbara Bush thing in the
meantime. Yeah. We had a little entre mom. That's true, but not
much, Barbara Bush and there was doing jokes about her. And I
guess she was a character.
Oh, yeah. Uncle Don said she always had filthy jokes.
Yeah, she looks like the type she do they call her? Yeah,
well, good. I think that's fine. I don't have a problem with
women telling dirty jokes not.
It makes her that much cooler. It was it was actually it was
nice to see that. People from all walks of life and political
beliefs were pretty much like, Oh, that sucks. She was cool. I
think at the time she was a matron of America Matron. Matron
of America. Yeah, don't you think so? Yeah.
Yeah, I agree. Completely. And
the news networks went oh, wait a minute. Everyone's all lovey
dovey. Just get some controversy back in here. Stormy works
stormy. A bad guy. Lawyer of hers. It's it's the whole thing
is just sad. You
know, they had her on the view. Yeah. And I watched it. I didn't
watch it on the TV. I watched it on the YouTubes because I don't
refuse to watch it. And for some reason doing a YouTube is less
offensive to me. And she's just nothing. There's nothing. No,
it's the same old mediocre.
We've got a tape we've got. We've got a tape. We've got a
tape, but we're not doing anything with it. We haven't
decided yet. We're going to do with the tape. Please. Show us
the tape. Put it on PornHub porn Pornhub does it a porn a porn
tube? I can't remember. Put it up there. Show it to us.
And that was a porn tube and a Pornhub. Nothing as good as
that.
So the Starbucks thing, just to move along unless you still
aren't.
Don't know, do I have any wood we were trying to see.
It was kind of like we had it for a brief moment. We had some
Black Lives Matter back but just for a second, you know. And the
same with, you know, there was supposed to be the big
demonstration in Newnan, Georgia, as like a bar producer
got back to his like 30 people showed up. There's no more
funding. The money's not going into these groups anymore. It's
not that I disagree with what happened at Starbucks. I wasn't
there. So it's kind of hard to say exactly how it went down.
But it seems like some blatant racism happening there or
unintentional bias. And who be careful if you're a publicly
listed company, you don't want that shit over you. That's like
the Al Sharpton trick, you know, people but it's really not
organized and not staying on it. It's just kind of did a little.
You know what I mean? Yeah, there's no
Jesse Jackson still had his little thing going on. These
things would stay. His was
good. Yeah, his was really good. I mean, we do have a jingle that
that always helps. But we need to do more.
hating on black guys, they tried to have a meeting, but had no
intention to buy that as a straw. Who wanted these black
guys who had tried to use the bathroom but they said he was
denied. Oh, well, they were asked to exit. But they both
protest. So they got arrested, man.
I mean, it's like David Bowie came alive. Secret Agent Paul.
Good work. I mean, that's beyond good. That's really that's That
sounds a lot like Bowie. Does
anyone for sure we don't have enough action. Action. Yeah,
there's not enough of these events. So we could use that
jingle more than once.
Oh, no, it's it's it's a 101 shots it we're done. Oh, yeah.
That's it. That's all we got. Let me see. I got an interesting
note from one of our producers regarding the Southwest crash
that this just shows you how how fantastic it you have a cold
today? Don't you have the sniffles? Is it was it allergies
you think are just cold? I don't know. Being our value for value
model, we have many, many people of all walks of life. A
community we've built up over a decade. This is I'm just gonna
leave him anonymous but he says I worked for a company that
performs non destructive testing on jet engine components. We
actually have a project developing new tests for the
very type of fan blade that failed. This uncontained engine
failure occurred for the same engine and the same blade type
as the uncontained failure from about two years ago. Please note
this is still the first death on an aircraft in many years air
travel is still the safest mode of transportation I agree. A few
points in the jet engine design one blades are designed to fall
forward or fall backward depending on where they are in
the engine to minimize damage to the engine. FAA regulations
require that an engine design is tested to prove that the blades
fall out of the engine which we call contained failure and do
not penetrate through the side of the engine which is an
uncontained failure, and then he goes on a little bit more about
the testing. And then he says after the uncontained failure
two years ago, the blade manufacturer recommended extra
inspection using ultrasonics to detect small cracks in the
dovetail section of the fan blade. The airlines did not do
this because it was required, but because it would cost a lot
of money. I think he may have missed not required. I don't
know. The FAA will be putting out an advisory a new inspection
requirements for this engine in two weeks. We're from the future
once again. There's currently discussion from the airlines on
grounding the entire fleet and performing the very ultrasonic
inspection that was recommended two years ago. The inspection
could take a few hours to a few days per engine.
This engine is a joint venture between a French company that
used to make jet engines and GE who didn't want to make this
engine? And so they these two guys had so they've made
something like
this. So those do not do these frogs that they put them on the
Airbus are only on our planes.
No, no, they're on the 340 3 million under 340. Get those
four inches. That's this engine app. It's under 320. And they do
their final assembly and France and we do our final assembly
outside of Cincinnati. Right? And die. My understanding is
that the rule has come down that they're going to be required to
check these blades every 3000
hours. Yeah, something like that. If it's the same kind of
Tesla, that's bankrupting. Well, this could cost 10 grand and
engine. Just sayin. Yeah. Anyway, I really appreciate our
producer. Thank you for your courage for getting this
information to us.
Well, you know, they can redesign stuff. Yeah, but it's
got to be a design flaw.
Yes. But it's it's it's a big
deal getting China is what I'm always thinking. It's never that
big scandal from years ago about the bolts from China. Ugly,
vague, Lambert, well, these bolts would never spec out
right? You know, there was if you put them on a, you torque
them, and you torque them to do what they're supposed to be
torqued in at and they would never, they just break, they
wouldn't torque down as much as they're supposed to. And this is
classic, you know, junk. Best Price.
Best Price,
best price. I'm wondering where these blades are made? That's
what it knows that I have not found it unless they're being
made in house? I don't think so. And you can't do that. No, no,
no, no. But
the problem remains if if this really is an issue with this
particular type of fan blade, then you're going to see a big
hit to the industry. I'd say Short. Short southwest
south southwest such a great airline. I wouldn't shortage
just out of well, respect. Okay. I'm just kind of saying and now
it's time for your sexual harassment.
Yes, the hashtag me to pops up from time to time No, in no way
doesn't get the type of attention it deserves anymore,
because that was pretty much for that one special election here
in Boise that Georgia, or was it?
Was that crazy guy?
Yeah, the judge I think it was was a Georgia, Tennessee,
Carolina.
One of those southern states?
Well, no, no states down there where they have just south or
someplace go Mason Dixon? Well,
the Swedish Academy board members who award the Nobel
Prize in literature, I believe, in this case, six people have
resigned from this board over a sex scandal. And the Swedish
king now is intervening. Apparently he's the he's the
Academy's patron and has to approve of any of its secret
voting system. And it might be a woman who's actually been
harassing someone. I mean, it's unclear the there's really not a
lot of reporting at all on it and what's out there is minimal.
But man, the Nobel Prize board, that that's it, that's pretty
extreme. And then we had then we had a report. We had a Coachella
was there was it this past weekend or the weekend before
Coachella I think it was this past day challah. It's a bay
challah, because the Beyonce was performing so it's not
Coachella, it's de Chela bachelor. And this millennial
was there and while she wasn't reporting on it, she became a
part of the story
para Pappa Silva is an editor at Teen Vogue. She was at Coachella
last weekend. She said she spoke to more than 50 women there and
every one of them said they had been sexually harassed and fair
joins us now. Hi, why self were sexually harassed at Coachella.
What happened?
Yeah, well, I was just walking around looking for people to
talk to and at different points. I I was groped a lot and guys
say things to me. Yeah, I kind of I became part of my own story
by accident. Isn't that
something that you always you should really like not even
follow your report if you become part of the story? Is there some
journalistic rule
like with Hunter Thompson
So let's hear now what happened to her. And it's been a while
since I've been to a festival. But what I remember I was at
Woodstock too. I remember you know, once you're in the crowd
and you're dancing this everyone's all over everybody's
and it kind of the point
As you all like touching and greet
Yeah, it's it is a meet and greet me at didn't even
really expect it.
Right. So similar stories from the what it was like 54 women
you talk to? Yeah, yeah. And the groping She
sounds so like she's so just recovering, don't you? Like oh,
yeah, yeah, it was really so hard this Coachella report I had
to
was in nature was it when you're like pressed up against someone
or someone was pressed up against you as you're watching
the crowd? It is the field means in the great outdoors, there's
plenty of room you're not up against somebody unless they
come up to you. And then you just back off back off Dracula.
Let's Yes, let's back off Dracula. Is that is that a
phrase I should recognize?
Yes, it is actually my I like it. I like it never heard the
80s or
60s. We go or someone has pressed up against you as you're
watching a band or what have you. Yeah, I
think the most common honestly, scenario is when you're at a
concert, and you're dancing. So you're in the crowd and you're
dancing. And there's this thing that happens where there'll be
someone you'll feel some pretty close behind you. And if you
start dancing, you will end up kind of like dancing against
their body. And that's usually when someone will put their
hands on like, you're like my hips or my butt. So that's kind
of the most common so when I was trying
women while you're watching bae, queen, be twerking on stage.
It's insane. That some people will be like, Just Dance around
it, rub your butt and grab your hips. This is a dance to this
whole twerk and then I mean, come on. You're at a concert.
I have a story to tell.
It's only 20 More seconds
there's a lot of but squeaks or hips or my butt butt squeezes
out kind of the most common. So when I was trying to when I
wasn't reporting and I was trying to enjoy the shows,
that's when the majority of the grown ups happen but all in what
she
needs. She needs like, this is a product we could come up with.
Then you you put this it's kind of you put on like a like a
dress. So drapes over your shoulders and it's like a
barrier.
You know that I know that. What you should do. Oh, you have a
lucid bed. We'd have to be done stylishly but it'd be a bunch of
these like metal metallic kinda like a hula skirt kind of thing.
Kind of sexy. Exactly. Exactly. It'd be loaded with like a DC
current. And so let's push the button and then knock them on
their ass.
Don't you mean AC?
Well desejo killed people.
And yeah, I was liking your product until you got all wishy
washy.
It's not wishy washy. It's like getting a jolt from your that I
know. It's not pleasant. I
think I think that here it is. This is how you can be assured
of complete being left alone at a festival. Use and if you call
now, we'll send you not one but two official no agenda festival
burkas, it's a guaranteed winner.
So just you know, in general on the field grounds, walking
around or being in line. There were times I were, you know, I
was just touched
just randomly by the stranger just touched. Yeah, I
mean, when you're gonna be walking through and there's a
difference between like, sometimes it's accidental I
wouldn't count something that wasn't definitely on purpose.
But I would count it if it was like someone squeezed like my
side or someone squeezed my butt. There was a lot of butt
squeezing.
It was a lot of but squeezing it I saw it already. It
was a lot of but squeezing. It was a lot of but squeezing. I
liked the end.
That's all I have.
So wait a minute, I guess stop. You open and close these
segments without ever consulting me
because I looked at your clip list. I didn't see anything. I'm
sorry. Yes, because you didn't
recognize that what they were. No. It's awesome. I'm
shoehorning. I'm shoehorning.
It's also just Hillary. I just don't like I'm sorry. I wasn't I
was thinking of myself as usual.
Of course. Yeah. Sorry. So my first wife used to hang out with
this girl is very pretty, like a real pretty perky looking girl.
You don't know your first wife? Yeah, no, my first wife was
pretty too but this girl that she used to hang out with who is
a wife of a friend of mine. They go to concerts together when
you're you're pretty you're pretty first wife and her pretty
friend.
Yeah. And just woman this pretty girl would pee on guys. I was
aghast when I was told that way.
But now hold on. I need a little context around this. Now these
guys would fallen down Boris yonder. No,
no, she ate me or what is she doing just like this Same thing
going on with this ghost. It's she'd go up behind him and
grabbed her butter do something the guy was very happy about
them that she peed
on their legs. Yeah. Oh, do you say hands? What would you say?
Pianos pants. Okay, I got up on his hands. Oh my god. Yeah. And
when
I was told this I said, Holy Are you kidding me? She did that.
And apparently a lot and did not it was she thought this woman
thought it was hilarious. The funniest thing ever.
And how about your your perky first wife?
She wasn't doing that. That's for sure. What
does she think it was creepy? Ashley she didn't. She didn't
think it was you know, I think she probably got a kick out of
it.
You know? This. I had his mentor
in what they pretend to be I've never
heard of this.
I'd never heard of it either. But I have heard of here's
another one. And you can look this one up. There are these
public poopers and there tend to be more see women
public poopers god hey, thanks for thanks for tuning in to the
no agenda show.
It is the best podcast is over. It's out there. Alright, so
the way they just they just pooping.
Here's me Here we go. Where I'm at. I'm in Las Vegas with a
group of the people from PC Magazine and one of these some
PR woman comes up and sits there and starts to talk. And then she
leaves and rushes off. And one of the guys I don't know how he
knows about this, but he said that she was uh She said he knew
that she took a disgusting and I apologize to the listeners of
this show for bringing this stuff up, but apparently like to
go and they just pooping their pants in a crowd in their pants.
Yes. And then they go off somewhere and there's some sort
of weird perversion and if you go on the internet start looking
it up it Oh, but holy mackerel is a huge it's like massive
number of participants. They have a
mastodon server public cooper.so short.
Oh my goodness. So here's our kind of our local law. Sexual
harassment story. This is a local restaurant is local
strange color codes for restaurants. I thought this is
pretty good. Oh,
I think we discussed this. In fact, I'm sure we did. This is
about the red yellow or blue. Yeah, yeah. We talked about
this. I played a clip clip Yeah, with a cop that wouldn't let a
cop female
that does not include the cop.
The entire staff work together to
create the solution. I read this this we didn't have a clip. We
read it. It's okay. It's good. Now posted on
this chart. The restaurant categorizes customer behavior
with a color coded system. Yellow is just a weird vibe that
feels uncomfortable. Now orange is an inappropriate comment that
could have sexual undertones. And red is when a customer makes
overt
overtones isn't it overtones?
Oh, what do you mean? Is this
just sexual undertones? Shouldn't be overtone sexual
overtones.
Yeah, I think well if it's undertones, then it's
so I never heard that. I never used that word undertone. No, I
don't like it either. I think it's probably subtle. If it's
undertones, and if it's overtones, it's just like it's
just just all kinds of innuendo piled on top. I just did a
search on SEER X actually. Holy moly pooping pants in public
pooping pants and public YouTube nerd poops pants while that's
okay. I purposely pooped my pants in public asked me
anything. Okay, here's a question. What is wrong with
you? It is my question. Holy crap, John, you've you've opened
a whole new world for me. Oh, no
challenge. And red is when a customer makes overt, obscene
comments or touches an employee. The staff uses the color code to
get help immediately.
So like I have a forehand at table two, and they let the
manager know and the manager has an automatic action that they
have to take.
Orange requires the manager take over serving the table. Read
gets the strongest response.
We addressed the situation right there with the customer saying
like, you know, this isn't appropriate if you'd like to
continue to stay. You know this. This has to stop
code. red alerts are now rare because managers take action
before uncomfortable situations escalate. Several employees told
us they liked the system, but did not want to talk on camera.
The restaurant gave us the cellphone video of a server who
used the color alert in a code red situation.
All they had to do is exchange a few words. And that made me feel
a lot better. It's simple. It's very effective. And it's good
for business.
The fact that we create a really safe, warm, inviting place for
our customers and our staff absolutely affects our bottom
line and it's part of our you know, recipe for success. And
Kristen V ABC Seven News.
Well we can add to the list of colors code brown I'm looking at
this Ask Me Anything on Reddit. I mean I just got this is this
rivals just when I thought your story about hace con the plane
was was better than the frozen mouth hot chick Do you want to
pick up a motorcycle? This I mean, it's also the first time
you ever talked about your first wife on the show as far as I
know. But I've never heard this story. So here is a few
questions and answers from the AMA on Reddit. I purposely put
my pants in public asked me anything okay, I'll start says
the Lonesome cheese. Why? It excites me. I learned in my
teenage years that porn did nothing for me. And once I
witnessed someone have a diarrhea accident in school.
From then on, I was fascinated the shame of it the feeling the
embarrassment. Question. Okay, so you have sexual fantasies
about poop. I don't like poop itself. I find that as
disgusting as most people do. It's the feeling the feeling the
actual moment. Cleaning up is always the hard part. But after
I've cleaned up, I play with myself using the memory of the
most recent incident. Recently, I've been getting more bold, but
afterwards, I always have the shame when I think about what I
do. I feel silly until the next time comes around. I'll just
read one more because it kind of discussing how has this impacted
you socially? Well, as far as anyone knows, I'm totally
normal. I'm a postgraduate student at University and I live
alone. Yeah, no kidding. I have no boyfriend at the moment. I
wonder why. But I have friends and none of those friends know I
go out occasionally. And usually when I plan the deed, it's on my
way home or on the bus or somewhere in public where I know
there's a bathroom nearby. So once I'm finished, I clean up
quick jam. But this is this is not
the kind of stuff you learn on the no agenda show.
I mean, why go anywhere else. You can go to MSNBC and listen
to him talk about hookers, hookers, workers. You want the
real down and dirty you come to no agenda? Yeah. But this has
been going on for 30 years that you know of? Because job sure
your first wife was in the 80s.
Well, it's first wife that was a pee girl. This is not the Poop
Girl the Poop Girl came.
I thought you learn the story at the same time.
No, no, no, that poop one was when I was sitting there, right?
As I explained with a bunch of PC Magazine, people in Las Vegas
reservoirs. And there was a seat empty and a PR woman that was
known to us comes over and says some of us something we all
survive. And she poops and takes off now did you know this? I
didn't know it. Because it was the guy that was sitting next to
her said that he could smell it and there was a wet spot on the
chair.
All right, stop now. God. Yeah, this is insane. Well, that I
that happened in the 90s, the 90s or the aughts, I
probably in the early 90s. Okay. Well, it's
interesting that no one in the chat room or on the troll room
had heard of this. And I'm sure there's a couple people out
there that never heard
of it either. And then when I went back when I was done with
this, escapade to the Comdex whatever it was, I had, I
started looking doing a little research. And so this is
probably I would guess, now this 95 Because it was after the
internet had already achieved some sort of escape velocity, I
can look stuff up. And so I was looking it up on the internet,
and it was all and back then it was all over the place you could
start reading about and there's forums and there were special
web pages of people extolling the virtues of this and it goes
on and on and you read all this stuff and you just get
completely grossed out. And then you wonder what the what the
what so I just I would love
to hear from one of our producers who is in psychology
or is well yeah, no, I mean, it is a pro. I
would I would guess that we don't have one listener who does
this.
Oh, I don't know I'm not so sure you well, you might who do poops
in their pants now? I'm pretty sure we don't. But it could be I
don't know if they do come forth.
Yet come forth. Yes, no,
yeah, anonymity assured that I'm fascinated by Well, fascinate is
not the right word. But in the context of the show. That's very
interesting. Thank you for sharing Jon. A million of them.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your incredible courage
and see in the morning to you John. C stands for code brown
Devorah bag
in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the morning to the
ships and sea boots on the ground and feet in the air. The
subs in the water. Yes. All the names out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the in the troll room. You see
I'm looking at the show notes because I need to say in the
morning to our artist who brought us the artwork for
episode 1026 title of that D ISIS. This was a really a one
off that we could only use for that episode done by cesium 137,
it was just the best. It was a shadowy figure on its knees bent
over with a American Standard slide whistle jammed through him
from the back with blood dripping off the mouthpiece.
And I should mention that we spent a little time in the post
mortem for the show. With our slide was was figuring out
wishes the best way to grip it. If you didn't want to run
somebody through with you remembered you have yet to just
the right, you have a really solid grip and you could swing
into somebody and probably impaled them with a slight
whistle. So you're lucky yours wasn't confiscated?
Yes, I mean, the TSA totally should have seen this as a
deadly weapon. And I've since our combo I have gone to gone on
to try different grips. And I think the best way is you grip
it with the mouthpiece and down and you put your index finger
through the loop on the slide. And then you know now it's just
you and just hack hack with it now, which is lethal. They say
you got a good grip, so it won't slide your hand will slide down
as you're pushing it through the bone and flesh. Yeah.
And we really appreciate Yeah, he had to be careful you don't
hit bone because it probably will stop it back.
We really appreciate the work that cesium 137 Did and all of
our artists who diligently upload all kinds of beautiful
work to no agenda art generator.com Maybe one of these
days we'll see an actual no agenda comic appear as was a
discussion did
have a couple of guys that were gonna do it years ago. And then
they dropped out and you know, this contact was we had a story
but then we're gonna
do Yeah, you know, anyway, it's the burnout factor. I'm always
sad when people are doing a lot like Sir Chris in Australia and
I love the guy. He's doing so much good work, but you know, I
keep telling him dude, slow down. You don't need to do a
show. You don't need to do a show a song for every single
show. You're gonna burn out. Yeah, you won't listen.
I actually did some lyrics for him. He will he will do those
either. Well, you did lyrics. Yeah, I got a song. I got a
whole if anybody wants to do a song. I got lyrics for two songs
because he sent another one today. So it might be your song.
I
don't know. No, it's not. Okay. I got the feeling that he got my
lyrics and believe me the lyrics work. And he said, You know, I'd
rather write my own lyrics. I'm gonna write somebody. I'm not
here. I'm not your slave.
I'm an artist dammit.
I'm an artist. I do my own material.
Yes, understood. Gotcha. I love doing this show. All right, here
we go.

we have to associate executive producers. John Burns to under
$10 I can only do half of afford 20 donation. Well, he's got the
right idea I didn't even want to get I didn't even get to
celebrate for 20 I've been too busy with all the prep work for
my upcoming move from Chicago to Salem, Oregon. Can I get a job
some some karma for the long drive? IKEA's tonight depends on
which route you're taking, but it can be a nice or a miserable
drive. What
is your suggested route? Then? Let's help us help our producer
John burns out.
Well, he's probably going to just jump on ad and that'll
probably work fine. 5050 8040 the old fashioned Lincoln
highway. All right. But if you can get c'est la vie. Yeah,
you're gonna have to Yes, Salem. I get I don't have any good
suggestions. The best right is from Winnipeg to Vancouver
somewhere and it's not that you're taking that. Anyway, keep
up the great work best podcast in universe. I'll be listening
to this show while I drive.
He's on his way. All right, here you go. Here's your car. You've

Go ahead.
Okay, Jim Bennett. 202. He's our last Associate Executive
producer says JCD plain babe is fantastic. Please let her and
her disgustingly healthy snacks live on forever. Well, she ever
starts listening to the show. It might happen. Why, though, is it
so hard for me to imagine John, managing to make friends with a
complete stranger?
So he followed up with this note and he said Please, please,
please play the fish thing nuts mix. And he said did you in fact
at any point discuss not fishing with her or did you or just know
what you're talking about? Oh, let me help. Let me help remind
you just go for John. Tell us. Your P Oh, nice.
Yeah, thanks.
Next night. You gotta wait.
I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying and I think
it will result in fights breaking out because it just so
annoying to watch. guy takes his bag of peanuts and throws a pile
of them into his palm of his hand and then he makes a fist
around the nuts around the nose. shakes his fist to try to bring
a nut to the little hole stop. He throws a nut in his mouth
from his but he does it again. He shakes it throws and shakes
and throws it is annoying as hell to watch. I think you
missed out guys are disgusting.
Oh, excuse me, Mr. Poop story.
I will but I had nothing but disclaimers during that story.
Yeah, didn't make a jingle about it.
Oh, of course not. A slight poop. Hey, listen. We don't pay
these people anything we give them value and this is the kind
of value they want. I mean, MSNBC is on the right track on
the right tip. I think they know where it's at.
Anyway, no, I did not discuss it. I don't discuss a story that
I think discussed once is enough as these people the other thing
United doesn't seem to serve nuts. I mean, that's southwest.
United serves these dry pretzels.
Oh God. Yes.
And what do you do with those you get you you throw them out
is what you do with them. You can't there's nothing you know
else you can do? Correct. So on the menu they had is just
unbelievable. On the way back the way I was on first class. I
had good food. But the way back is boxes. $9 wines. $9 $10
crappy food. Yeah. And this so I looked at the food list and
there's a bunch of snack boxes once called the classic
sandwich.
I'm glad you got these names. I've noticed these names and I
always forget to write them down or take a picture. Yeah,
the classic sandwich is Cheez Whiz and chocolate.
What? Yeah, that's a sandwich, Cheez Whiz and chocolate
together. Yeah, chocolate and Cheez Whiz and well. What kind
of bread what kind of bread? Probably not one bread, Wonder
Bread,
but ideally it should be Wonder Bread. Anyway So I'm looking
into his a couple of hot meals. They have a hamburger, which I
can just imagine.
I bet that's dynamite.
And then they have a uno pizza.
That's probably the safest bet right there.
Yes. And that's exactly what I ordered. I have the same
mentality as you. And so I ordered the UNO pizza and
meanwhile the babe as it were sitting next to me, she grossed
out. She's
she's, she was actually grossed out looking at your lunchbox
pretty much.
And so I opened this thing and it was like it was unbelievable.
I don't know what uno liberal shoulda, woulda, shoulda demand
they get their copyright or their name back out of these.
This is a little thing it's about, I'd say six inch, six
inch round with a crust is about, I don't know, inch thick.
And it's got some, some horrible tomato sauce is by the way, it's
lukewarm. If it's even lukewarm. I think it may just have been,
you know, I don't even know if it was warm. It could have been
just a cold pizza. And it had like five little slices of
pepperoni and this and a gobs of dried out mozzarella. Yum. It
was almost it was you can eat some of the mozzarella and then
you could make like two or three bites and you had to just throw
the thing away. Do not eat anything on United moto
trying to think what I held on the Delta flight on the way back
it actually ate quite a lot. But they also had weird combos like
that hand you you could choose a grilled cheese like this seems
pretty safe. And they hand you the hot, overly hot grilled
cheese box and on top of it, and ice cream. But like, yeah,
chocolate being like with a stick and it's the vanilla with
chocolate covering with the hot right? Right on top right on top
of the hottest.
So you have to eat Oh, you have to gobble down the hot thing
before you get to enjoy the ice cream would just be melted. Oh
no, no, you know, but the thing is they they hand it out that
way. So your ice cream is already in the melting process
and you still have to eat and you know you have to take it off
the top of the hot box. And then you still have to you know, it's
just dumb. Just wait
a minute. Wait a minute. You have to take the hot box and now
you have to hold it.
Yeah, you got to Well, no, it doesn't have a rat's ass rapper.
Rapper. It has a rapper, but it's already in the melting.
It's melting on the spot. Yes, it is.
Anyway, ah, I know. I'm sorry. If it were up to me, we'd have
caviar cabinet you know, if not, I just don't eat the
whole thing is disgusting. It is it really they can't feed the
people anymore. They're Jama Mandy's ridic. You had to pay
extra for an inch of leg room. I mean, these airlines should be
ashamed of themselves. I think they should change the laws and
let foreign carriers do domestic service in the United States is
against the law right now. You can only take a foreign carrier
if it's going to their home, or somebody has to be out of the
country. Yeah. So you can even find a flight. I remember an Air
flight from San Francisco.
We I'm sorry to interrupt, but we kind of did that Branson kind
of did it with Virgin
air. Know what they were especially novas Virgin America
especially. No,
I know. But it was, in essence it was a foreign foreign funded
carrier with foreign carrier ideas brought in and they did.
It was great. But they couldn't make it work, obviously because
once he sold out that just collapse is gone. They don't do
it anymore. They don't have the cool planes and everyone's all
up up and all happy in this mood lighting. And you know we've got
fabulous snacks.
That's true. Yeah, I took you quite a bit it was because it
was going from San Francisco to Seattle and it was just a great
flight.
Hey, dude, it's money. It's all about the Bible about the
Benji's. Anyway, I
want to thank our folks are Executive Associate Executive
producers for show 2010 2710 27 Thank
you. These credits are real just cite the Hollywood Yes.
I remember my opening and I forgot.
Happy Earth Day.
I thought you said that Earth Day was a couple of days ago
when everyone had the lights off. And you asked me about that
or a couple
of weeks ago and your lights off day. Oh,
I got the wrong day. What did we do to celebrate Earth Day?
Well, I should have written a newsletter that has some somatic
Earth Day stuff and then maybe we got more donations than what
we got which is piss poor. I might add it's not the best but
these guys these five guys are good. Yeah, that's about it.
Yeah, well, they and they are executive producers and
Associate Executive producers and these credits can be used
anywhere credits are recognized and we love highlighting them at
the beginning of the show and will thank the rest of our
donors $50 and above later on, and of course another show
coming up on Thursday
for.org/and And you have a
lot of formula to propagate after this. A block on the show.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
Yeah, a little OTG update for you. There's a lot going on a
lot more. And I reiterate, this is not about trying to escape
the prying eyes of the NSA, although it helps a lot. But
forget about it. If you're connected to anything anywhere,
you're unless you're using pencil and paper. And even that
is not secure. This is about getting away from the spy and
profiling apparatus that are the social nets face bag in front of
Google is really bigger than that, but they're not in focus
right now. And we'll start with a clip about the class action
suit against the face bags, three
Facebook users from Illinois, and they sued under a state law
from 2008 called the biometric Information Privacy Act, okay.
And it says that private entities like Facebook Bay are
not allowed to collect or retain people's biometrics, which can
can include things like retina scans, fingerprints, DNA, face
geometry, without written consent. And so the wisdom of
that is like, you know, biometrics are unique. If a
bank's computers get hacked, right, I get to have a new
account or credit card number, if
the problem right here is that this is the type of people who
are reporting on technology and today's M five M, you know,
ending everything was right. Because that, to me, means she
doesn't really know what she's talking about, and just wants to
express that by saying, right, because I'm probably wrong.
Right. Right.
And, yeah, okay, our unique is that banks computers get hacked,
right? You get to have a new account or credit card number.
If Facebook is hacked, you can't get a new face. So you know, the
plaintiffs who filed it was three years ago, they said
Facebook was harvesting face templates, and tagging their
faces for more than a billion people worldwide. Without
informed written consent was Google files and
we're starting to face bag is under the loop today, you know
how the machine works? Let it go man
dollars in damages for each violation. So that would be
billions of dollars total
billions of dollars that is Facebook feel about all this?
Well, you know, what Facebook has to say, is actually very
different from what their CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said, when
he went to Capitol Hill last week, you know, there he was
over and over, saying he was sorry for his company's
missteps, and suggested his main fault was being too idealistic
or too optimistic. But in court, in this case, his lawyers have
been arguing, hey, no one was harmed in this procedure. And
arguably, you know, studying and tagging faces when pictures are
uploaded, is a service that lots of users like, it's been
available for several years, and you can opt out of it if you
want to. Facebook actually did manage to get the case moved to
California, which is their home turf. But the judge, it's the US
District Court, James DiNardo, in San Francisco, he says a
class action is the most efficient way to resolve the
dispute. And so it can proceed. A company spokesperson says at
an email that Facebook is reviewing the ruling that the
case has quote, no merit, and they'll defend against it
vigorously.
Yeah, so of course, you should have a problem with that, too,
John, I mean, your picture is uploaded to the face bag
multiple times your profile, they have a hash ID for your
face. Yeah, then and somebody I'm probably it's already
someone already tagged it. And so they already know who you
are. Even though you are now I know
is the circle. You can go in there and if people are tagging
your face, you're going to have it untagged of course and you
know when my name it shows you with a bunch of goofy pictures
on the internet. Yeah, well, it's
too late for that. But I think it's a good choice. You got rid
of the 1970s glasses, because that's probably the main tag
feature of your old face. Well, that's
my old face. Yeah, that's face was from the 70s
I like your new face. Your new face is very, very modern. I
mean, it's postmodern. Really. Yeah, I have a postmodern face a
couple other things in the news regarding this not really a big
OTG but the cops did actually attempt to open a guy's phone
when he was dead with his finger
it didn't work if you were a cop what it didn't work
no no Yeah, apparently you only have like 36 hours to do so and
then I don't know what happens but I guess I think Mortis
changes something
I wouldn't I would have dropped his hand in a bucket of hot
water. I think that has something to do with a
temperature Ah yeah, I would have dropped into a bucket of
hot water and then she one of two things see if that works and
also see if he pees in his pants.
And what would the point of the second
test okay, now everybody out there got that joke except Adam.
So
I understand I just don't understand the joke. I
understand if you put someone's hand in warm water when the
sleeping Yeah. Is that the joke joke? Yeah, there's a joke I
just think was hilarious. I just have a higher quality of humor.
Yeah, sure you do. Back to the poop? No, it didn't work. And
but we know that and I've, if you take a face to face should
work now the face will work. But this was not a 10 phone. This
was not a facial recognition phone. And then I know you saw
this because it was on the tweeters, and you commented on
it, but I wanted to read it, because this is exactly the
problem when Zaki is in there Congress saying you can opt out,
you know, we'd have to share this all the stuff. Of course,
that's what he's talking about. But what's really going on. And
this is not just zaqy, this is really, so many apps can access
this type of information. It's truly the smartphone that has
the problem at once we got stuff like the accelerometer, which
provides data as to how it's being held. And that and then
access is given to any developer, how fast you're going
and all kinds of stuff. So I'm reading from this article that
was tweeted, patent applications do not always end in a product
coming to market, but they can reveal a lot about a company's
ambitions and direction of travel. Among the 11,000 Plus
applications filed by face bag in the US is technology to
automatically sense record and identify all types of activities
such as walking, running, jogging, cycling, rowing,
driving, with car, bus, train, walking, stairs, jumping,
swimming, playing football, and skiing. Other provides for
location tracking techniques that circumvent the need for GPS
through advanced knowledge of the user's intended or estimated
location, such as a reservation for an event at a particular
time restaurant theater concert. Also interesting is software
that tracks significant topics of discourse, and analyzes words
used while discussing politicians names and political,
legal or economic issues. This latter pattern has an attendant
interface for use by political analysts or marketing agencies,
of course, da, but that's the stuff that is a problem with it
with the it's not so much the face bag, or all these guys are
doing is the fact that your phone is enabling it. And this
was in this is egged on by a tech horny press. Who all they
could ever say, Oh, so cool accelerometer Hi. Horny for it.
And now it's really being used against us. I mean, you can,
it's very easy to know if someone was walking because the
phone is in a certain you know, in your pocket. And indeed, they
can detect that and you can create models. And this is this,
I think is a real problem. So I am still on my quest to get away
from this and I have to make a confession I'm gonna give you
I'm gonna say that you're right. The pager is just not working
out. That doesn't mean I don't have a solution for the pager is
just not working out.
Okay, now you I want you to tell us why you idealistically
adopted this pager mentality with the pager life, lifestyle
page, your lifestyle, the PL. And now it's not working?
Oh, T GPL. It's mainly because of the time it takes for someone
to send you an SMS text message. And for your reply to go back,
that can take anywhere from five minutes to 15 minutes duplicates
occur. It's really I mean, back and I remember this happening
back in the day with the duplicates. But of course, we
had no measure of how fast things were transferred. It was
amazing. It was working at all. It's like, wow, this is pretty
cool.
In other words, you can have like a conversation, SMS
conversations
Convos are difficult. Yeah. Yeah, that and it's just a
little too tough. Now, it's still great for alerts, if I'm
just out and about and I have my email triggers, if it comes
through, but this isn't, you know, this, it's not as failsafe
as I'd want it to be. But again, the mission here is to get away
from the tracking. So I spent some time over the weekend,
looking at a device, an older device that I think will
actually do everything we need without being tracked. Now. If
you connect to the cellular network, you're being tracked,
you're being tracked one way the other, there's nothing to do
about it same when you connect to Wi Fi.
But yeah, that's true triangulation at the lowest
Yeah.
Your location is totally trackable. However, if you look
at the smartphones, and I finally landed on Nokia, or
Nokia, and they're, you know, because they had Symbian, and
I'm pretty sure that, you know, the web browser isn't is do
you're not gonna have an accelerometer in there. There's
a lot of things it won't work very well.
You talked about your old old Nokia. Yeah, yeah.
Before they went windows and an Android Wear they got wiped out.
Yeah. Well, it's interesting. They all started in this well,
because what you do want is you want the QWERTY keyboard. That's
the key. because otherwise you're giving up one thing for
messages going through quicker by then having to type you know,
a when you go to D at the click three times. So you want the
QWERTY keyboard and nokia nokia made a number of really
interesting devices and the one I've settled on and I've ordered
four different devices I've ordered a ZX 431, I've ordered a
Nokia C three. But the one I'm most excited about which only is
available still from China, but they're new is the nokia asha
210. And it's very cheap device. They're only like 60 bucks when
they were new, you can put two SIM cards in there. It does, let
me see, they of course, they still have some kind of app
store. But you really just want the web browser you only text
messages and you get a couple other things, you know, your
calendar, etc. Apparently there is a what's app, the app on
Symbian that I'm sure allows you to connect. And if you do that,
then you know there's still all kinds of tracking in place from
face bag. But the phone itself I don't think is going to do much.
It's just not there's not much you can do to spy on you. And
you can take the battery out, which gives you a little more
gives you a little better feeling about anything being
listened to while you think you have it off. And I think that
this is kind of the way I'm gonna go.
So what you're gonna do now is use a cheap Chinese junk phone
that happens to have a couple of features that are useful. Yeah.
And with that you'll feel more comfortable as opposed to my
approach. Well, just less trash, don't leave the phone off and in
the cloud in in a cabinet. Right and then only pull it out and
carry it around when I'm thinking I'm gonna get a flat
tire.
Right, right. But But I need to be reachable in certain cases
and you don't have that need.
I don't have that desire
and desire. Okay, I mean, you live a different life.
I do. I'm just a hermit. Okay,
so for you, that's absolutely
fine. But for me, I use a landline van life.
And by the way, you should look at this nokia asha 210 It's a
very modern looking device. It's actually a it's a S H A Yes. As
they had a whole line, which I don't even recall. It was really
interesting going through all the different old phones that
are out there. And of course we had the sidekick in the slides,
which I don't like because you need two hands and I just wanted
to type something with one hand. But and I know we have a lot of
people who are intimately familiar with the Symbian and
the Nokia stuff now I'm not all happy about being made in China
if there being
a nice looking phone I told you
and apparently nobody said Oh
74 That old one that you will be used well,
I also ordered another e 71x. I never had the 71 but the 71x
also very cheap and that that does two SIM cards three G and
also just has the crappy Symbian which is you want you could
probably even get email to some degree just so I can read the
headers but at least the phone is not in the equation. And the
only thing is
in different colors is in pink is in yellow it's a baby black
got
the black one I got the black one but it figures now there's
that you know so there's a device coming out called the
light phone with there's already one out but there's one coming
out that will do I mean it's a trend it's a trend and Nokia
they wound up selling 4.4 million feature phones as
they're known in the fourth quarter that a really like I
think they they they raised their earnings just got boosted
all of a sudden they had to shoot against
the this phone here is a red version of his 4799 on lock.
Yep. Yeah. Which is a big deal. Yeah. And there's also the x.
This is the way to go.
Yeah, the x two one, and it's very cheap. And the realize all
these features that came in at what have they really done but
just giving you more alerts, you know, the alert systems on these
phones are also crap. So you just need to make sure all
that's off because that's the sickness right there. But the
smartphones are alerting you all the time and every app has
access to if you're lying down if you're standing up, you know
all these different things. Now the only thing that just
hold on a second. So here's the original unlocked e 63. kurti
key pad wi fi 3g camera. Yep, two megapixels and I had to make
those not a lot but it's big enough. Take a Snapshot Yeah,
you can get 2999
So we're all people paying $1,000
And and you take that phone, you forcefully throw it on them.
marble floor it's just gonna be a honey badger don't give a
crap. This phone number indestructible these phones
remember the BlackBerry people will be driving over it to show
how good it was.
Yeah, yeah, those days are over. I think ignite now I think you
might be on to something. That pager thing. I was not on board,
right. But I can see I can see this being a trend and why
wouldn't we consider could still be called the hand job. But why
wouldn't we consider making a nice little cute phone, you
know, has some basic functions that people will want. It'll
keep you healthy. It does not protect you from NSA spying, and
I'm not delusional, nor is that my mission. I mean, you still
want to use the brave browser on your desktop, and you want to
use a VPN and as much as you can to stop everything. Now, here's
another issue with the phones coming up, ie sins. This is now
this is now a big issue in the telecom world. I don't know all
the ins and outs of it. But I think Apple started to implement
this. And basically there's no agreement in what the protocol
should be exactly. But the idea is to remove the concept of
having a SIM card, which has your subscriber identifier
module, which is really an encryption key that only
contains an encryption key so that you know that's you that's
the phone number and its hardware and it goes in and MB
are set. So these e Sims, I don't know maybe Google really
got that going with a Google phi or whatever that is. So you can
switch SIM cards in software and add this of course is not a
really great idea. And now it just seems like this is open for
all kinds of compromise and security issues. Yeah, hacking
Exactly. Another Justice Department's getting involved so
I'm not sure so buy up your your Nokia's now and I'd love to hear
from any of our developers out there dudes named Ben who know
about the Symbian the Symbian operating system and you know
it's just it's more just what what can these apps do? Without
me knowing it while I'm using the phone everything well on
these older phones I don't think so.
No, and the older phones no because the phones just don't
have the nobody cares nobody's gonna go work at it so what this
guy's right it's interesting you're some old fart with of
Symbian phone.
The best thing I have
all right good that guy or old fart with a Symbian phone
profile. Another one of those jackups
Yeah, probably a special category. So I got a couple of
things. Here are their interest. I do have a little I have a I
want you to this is a very funny this was done on the CBS Weekend
Report on Saturday. And I believe this is where they have
some substitute this where they try it out. hosts and anchors
got this lisping black guy. And he I believe he says something
like people are all jacked up about folding folding is
enclosing preschools, this is just a teaser. Listen to it.
Still ahead on the CBS weekend news. New research points to the
long term benefits of folding preschool
folding, folding, folding preschools.
He said, the long term benefit of folding preschool Yeah. What
does that mean? Well, I have to assume he said something else.
But I've listened to this clip over and over again and what I
hear is folding. Preschools
Still ahead on the CBS weekend news. New research points to the
long term benefits of folding preschool
is probably saying upholding no folding, there's no up. Okay, so
what is what what does he folding? I don't know whenever
it's vile, I don't like it. So I
got another I don't know if you have if this is the same clip I
produced some time ago about the HPV douchebags that come on with
you know, promoting their their horrible vaccine and then
blaming the parents because, yeah, kids are dying. Recall
something. Yeah, yeah. Well, this is that. I believe this is
a different version of the same commercial.
All right, it's guilting parents into
guys. It's disgusting. Probably one of the most disgusting
campaigns can't Yes, because it is a it just it makes me sick.
And then apparently, up in Washington state they played all
the time.
I have cervical cancer from an infection, Human Papilloma
Virus, who knew HPV could lead to certain cancers? Who knew my
risk for HPV would increase as I got older? Who knew that there
was something that could have helped protect me from HPV when
I was on 11 or 12? Way before I would even be exposed to it.
Did you know from? Powerful,
I was infected with HPV. My parents didn't know how
widespread HPV is. While HPV clears up for most, it wasn't
the case for me. Maybe they didn't know I would end up with
cancer because of HPV. Maybe if they had known there was a
vaccine to help protect me when I was 11 or 12. Maybe my parents
just didn't know.
Alright, mom, dad, what would you say? Don't talk to your
child's doctor today. Learn more@hpv.com It's Macy's,
talk to your child's doctor today.
Yeah, a couple of things. Besides that commercial being
probably the lowest form of advertising ad the
music was really I liked it a lot because it had this this
melodramatic but still encouraging kind of at the
bottom of the of the cesspool, I'm looking up and I see hope
kind of vibe to it.
The thing about that commercial that was interesting is that
both the female actor and the male actor
use the
you could have gotten a vaccine when you were 11, or 12. Both of
them said those same, that same age range, right? So I assume
that there's a big push, target targeting 11 and 12 year olds
for to get this vaccine.
I believe that has to do with the scheduling of vaccines in a
child's life. So there's a moment when I, for some reason,
is deemed safe to inject your child with something. And you
know, that's now become what's like 72 shots before you're 15
or whatever. And then, you know, so there's all these things that
are planned and your boosters and your Tertiaries. And you
keep going and then oh, yeah, let's add some HPV stuff to you.
As soon as possible in the child's life, of course. Yeah.
And I guess that's meant to be pre pubescent to make parents
feel like the timing is right. Is discussed is well done. It
works. I'm sure it works. This has got to freak people out. I
think so. It's very low. Well, talking about vaccines. I picked
up this clip from Dr. Georgia Ed. And she's, she's a brain
scientist, like psychologists, but she heard just half hour
talk took a minute and a half, two minutes, two and a half
minutes about mental health and how children are entering school
programs, board University, as the achievement says, and some
of them are already on four or five different SSRIs or have had
them in the recent past. And she went about studying this
phenomenon. And it turns out, it's not just the United States.
It is a global phenomenon. And she has some ideas as to what is
causing this. Always interesting to the no agenda show.
I'm a psychiatrist. I've been a psychiatrist for 17 years for
the past 12 years in college mental health, for the first six
or seven of those at Harvard, and now at Smith College, a
women's college in Western Massachusetts. And what we're
noticing across the country in college mental health is really
disturbing trend. You know, first year students 18 years old
arriving on campus, more and more of them each year, arriving
on campus already taking 234 psychiatric medications.
Students coming in for crisis visits every day, panic attacks,
self injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation, professors
and Dean's walking students over on a regular basis worried about
manic behavior or psychosis or anorexia.
So what and were you aware of any of this?
No, but I'm not surprised by it. No, no, I think it may actually
account for the earlier clip that you had, where everyone has
to walk on, you know, use kid gloves walk on pins and needles
because of these. These snowflakes get triggered? Yeah.
Because they'll just at the drop of a hat or want to kill
themselves. Yeah, the deadwood make sense. But this
you know, the crisis was a crisis appointments. What'd she
say? Like this these moments? I mean, shoot, man. I don't know
about you. But when I was in college, even for the short time
was there. I had like panic attack or what's going on when
I'm, who am I? What am I do? I mean, isn't that normal? Is that
just a part of growing up
there? I never had a panic attack. You know. I don't know
whether it's normal or not. I know that it's a jarring
experience. But so what
exactly so what? That's my point, but now we have to have
crisis moments and people have to be on standby. And yeah, it's
crazy.
Okay, thanks. That's what I want to do,
on a regular basis worried about manic behavior or psychosis. or
anorexia. So what in the world is going on? And what does this
mean about our future? So it turns out the trend is actually
global. It's not just about college mental health. And it's
not just the United States. Now, these numbers are likely
underestimates, because it's actually very challenging to
count. People have mental and mental illness around the world.
So about 322 million people are estimated to have depression,
that's about the same number of people as live in the United
States market. That's up 18%. In roughly the past decade, the now
the number one cause of disability in the world. 800,000
people die per year from suicide. And that number, and
that's now the number two cause of death.
I wish you'd said what the number one cause of death was
still traffic accidents or guns.
No traffic accidents is even close to opioid. I hope you're
having accidents like not even on the list. But guns. Guns
aren't on the list of opioids way above guy. No,
I'm just making Foley I'm making it Foley Foley
among young people worldwide. Anxiety Disorders also up about
18% in the roughly the past decade. And dementia, the
numbers are expected to triple by 20. Why? Why is this
happening?
After I can you guess where she's going with this?
Well, I hope she I don't know where she's going with it. But
I'm guessing she's gonna blame it on the drugs themselves.
Driving these trends and colleges and all around the
world? Do we know anything about the root causes so that we can
Is there anything we can do about this? Or is this just how
it's supposed to be? Well, there are some theories that have been
around a long time. But what causes these mental health
problems? The neurotransmitter deficit theory, stress, trauma?
And of course, your mother.
Which, which actually, I think that is the correct answer in
most cases.
So what about this modern atrocity might just have a
little something to do with it? You know, we have learned the
hard way, as many other speakers have just told you about how
dangerous this diet is this modern diet for our physical
health. So it stands to reason, you know, why should the brain
be any different psychiatry as a field is in its infancy in
nutritional psychiatry, but I believe that the decline in
mental health around the world has a lot to do with the decline
of in the quality of our diet over the past 75 years. And I
think that's catching up with us. And I believe that it may be
one of the primary driving factors behind many mental
illnesses
not often discussed, and I encourage everyone to go take a
look at that in the show notes.
That caught me off guard. Yeah, but but I believe it's might be
true, and what but what and specific problem is, I like know
what specifically because this is all a recent phenomenon when
my parents were raising me they just ate lots of beef. Yeah,
potatoes and really not a lot of possible salad salad once in a
while, you know,
I know you're not OTG so you know, view our view by
definition your OTG but yeah, look around you your environment
in the world. It's all KFC McDonald's, Burger King Wendy's.
You know, all this stuff people are eating food is wood,
painting wood chips and, and chemicals. And Dr. immediately
pulled out sugar. It could be all kinds of things. But we had
we had lot more sugar back in the day, I think. But it was
real sugar. It wasn't high fructose. There wasn't all this
other crap. You know, our weed was was good. All jacked up.
But yeah, today's weed is not usable. At least to me, but I
think
I think is very interesting. And of course, the picture that she
showed, you know, was just a picture of a bunch of junk food.
And really, I mean, people ate eat junk it just do that mean
that it's it's it's the silent killer is worldwide. Yeah. And
it's doing all kinds of weird stuff was there was another
strange survey that I saw. Let me see what that was. Just the
idea for this survey. Yeah, here it is. PubMed Hold on, we bring
this up. I didn't look at the study. But the abstract was
interesting. This is a study about heterosexual college
students who hook up with same sex partners. What heterosexual
they do that they're heterosexual. Well, this is what
the study was. Had her like the girls heteros Well, yes, it's
women do this more than men apparently.
Yes, I think we've all noticed that abstract individuals
who identify as heterosexual been engaged in same sex sexual
behavior fascinate both researchers and the media. We
analyze like to watch they do. We analyze the online college
Social Life Survey dataset over 24,000 undergraduate students.
To examine students whose last hookup was was with a same sex
partner 12% of men 25% of women so that happens with women tore
twice as much according to their study. Three types of okay
latent class analysis revealed six distinctive types of
heterosexual identified students whose last hookup was with the
same sex partner three types compromising 60% of the students
could be classified as mostly private sexual experimentation
going among those with little prior same sex experience,
including some who did not enjoy the encounter. So I'm not quite
sure what that would mean. First of all, why even do this survey?
The whole thing is odd. The whole
thing the world's going to hell in a handbasket, kinda,
and then, you know, it's bad to be a man, you know, it's bad to
be an alpha male kind of dude. It's bad. We
know this is toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity, right? Yeah,
right. Right. Right.
Well, CNBC proves that this toxic masculinity is not helping
if you're a trader, if you're a no all traders that I know are
toxic. masculines
would you agree?
I would say yesterday there's
some female traders of course, but most of them are toxic
masculinity.
Yeah. And these guys get hit by boom by Matt chicks Ross River
that? Well, turns out that's not that good.
Hedge funds in industry synonymous with alpha. That's
what most of them strive for, alpha or outperformance. But
it's also when an industry spearheaded by a certain
stereotype straight out of central casting the alpha males.
A new study asks do alpha males or those with higher
testosterone levels deliver better returns? Research
conducted here at the University of Central Florida and Singapore
management University found that hedge fund managers with higher
testosterone levels tend to underperform those with lower
testosterone levels by 5.8%. Each year, on average, the
distance between researcher again leads hedge fund managers
spatial dimensions as a proxy for their testosterone levels,
Chima,
this was this was very interesting to me. This
particular crowd this is bullcrap as CNBC, I mean, it's
the NBC News,
or the NBC family they all hate men,
clearly. And how can you so apparently they measured
testosterone levels by face dimensions? Yeah.
Well, I don't know. But I mean, you get a bigger head if you're
shooting up steroids maybe
face bag is not going to be tagged me is Lo T.
Studied images of over 3000 hedge fund manager male. She
used this square tool to measure the facial ratio to determine
their testosterone levels. Blues report cites other studies
showing the facial width to height ratio as a reliable cue
to masculine behaviors. We also found that high T low mass
figures made it more likely the fund would close
we found like the high level of testosterone and care for human
beings can bring to the equation fearlessness, risk taking and or
eco centrism. And then this features can can also lead to an
ethical career.
Other studies have found that testosterone has been beneficial
in certain jobs, namely for CEOs and high frequency traders. But
for better returns in the hedge fund world. Lou advises
investors to avoid alpha male managers avoid
alpha male managers,
high speed traders are doing it because they're all hyped up on
roids now it's computers some back computer I know
it was that was gonna mention that made the report kind of
ridiculous. Yeah, that ruined it. Well, then let me just go to
the most ridiculous report. That just galls me to know and I've
already alluded to my disdain for journos of all persuasions
who just suck at reporting on technology and and I do not
understand and this is your profession and maybe you can
discuss this with your lip. Joe friends. I do not understand why
in today's modern age where we are surrounded by computers,
everything has a connection to the microservices architecture
in one form or the other. It's everything is connected. You
need to report and tell us what is actually going on instead of
resorting to lame words and abbreviations if you are one of
the millions of Americans who tried to file your federal tax
return electronically on Tuesday, but couldn't you might
be wondering what happened and here's Brian Naylor reports. We
now have a better idea of what caused the snafu. Okay, let's
stop right there, cause the snafu snafu is stands for
Situation normal all fucked up. What does that have to do with
the story? Oh, it's
nothing to do with he just threw the word in because he liked it.
Because it's
a technology story. So we'll just throw in some semi tech
stories. Yeah, that's what engineers say it's snafu. It's
not just a snafu. This was this is the our, our federal tax
dollar system that is stealing our money.
The problem arose in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the
busiest day of the tax year for the IRS. According to the
agency, a piece of hardware went down connected to the IRS, his
master file, the core processing system that holds all taxpayer
information, but it's many other applicants.
You cannot use the word glitch anymore in 2018 is not okay. Do
you understand what happened? Do you actually know what happened
here?
Do I from this report? No, of course. No. It was a glitch and
just
throws in the word glitch. I mean, if you're serious, for
instance, NPR, if you're a serious journalist, you need to
really just explain what happened here. But no, we just
use the term glitch.
The glitch meant other applications couldn't access the
master file data. The issue was fixed about 11 hours later, the
IRS says and the agency was able to accept tax returns again. The
delay was an inconvenience for taxpayers and a high profile
embarrassment for the agency.
Yeah, so then they go on with this story to reveal the true
nature of the glitch. And what this is really all about, but
don't even realize that's actually the story,
but it didn't really come as a surprise. Here's IRS official
Jeffrey Trebbiano. testifying before the House Oversight
subcommittee last October. We are
concerned that the risk of a catastrophic system failure is
increasing as our infrastructure continues to age.
former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen says the computer
glitch was the predictable consequence of years of
congressional budget cuts, which in turn led to significant staff
cutbacks.
The budget has been continuously under pressure for the last
eight years, even though we have almost 20,000 fewer employees
and 10 million more taxpayers Oh, sooner or later something's
gonna give. They just want more money.
Yeah, it's all about and the oh, we warned about this i How about
someone go investigate said glitch to see if they didn't. If
this was not self snafu? I don't I
commend him maybe ask a rhetorical question, please. How
do computers work? And so in the market, in other words, does a
computer that can do, let's say, a certain amount of processing,
we'll call it X amount of processing on that computer. And
let's say it costs $1,000 For this computer that can do X
amount of processing. Two years later, does that computer
cost more money?
Oh, because you already have it. You mean?
No. If you wanted to buy a computer that had the same power
two years later, no, in fact,
it should be half the price. Yeah.
So all the extra processing and everything should have been
going down in price every year. So these massive systems should
never cost more than they originally cost. Well, because
the nature of the business hard disks, they've dropped to the
neck. I can buy five terabytes. Yes,
but but but I would say that the licensing fees have probably
increased over time.
Don't they write their own code at the IRS.
Now man they bring in Oracle people and IBM people and this
is all Oh, now it's a huge moneymaker. Hey, bro, I was
bringing this system
I think it's a scam. The taxpayers are getting ripped
off. Yeah. Yeah, they are. They don't need more money. But I
would
really like them to get a lot more money so that they can
really mess it up. Because that's what happens. Could you
imagine if the the new IRS where we fixed everything and it's
just like the Obamacare website? It'd be great.
I could do with a little less taxes.
All right. I think you made your point that you would get a
couple of stories out of the way. I think the murdering
grandma stories my favorite this week.
I don't think I've heard this one. Marjorie.
We're going to turn next tonight to the fugitive grandmother
possibly facing the death penalty she's wanted in two
murders. Lowest Reese leading police and a nationwide manhunt
for nearly a month now. Authorities fought on a trail of
surveillance tonight you'll hear the audio and where she was
captured. Here's ABCs Marcus more.
You'd hardly know it from her smile, but Lois Reese was one of
the most wanted fugitives in the country on the run for nearly a
month. Last night a manager at a restaurant in South Padre Island
Texas spotted the 56 year old grandmother, US Marshals cuffing
her without incident at this neighboring restaurant, and that
smile, barely diminished.
She looks like anybody's mother or grandmother. Yet she's an
absolute cold blooded murderer of 35. Going on down to the next
stage,
Reese's initial getaway plan seemingly captured at this gas
station right after police say she shot and killed her husband
David in Minnesota later spotted that this Iowa Casino.
authorities believed the alleged gambling addict then drove to
Fort Myers, Florida befriending Pamela Hutchinson allegedly
murdering the 59 year old who police described as a lookalike
and taking her credit cards and Id police a Reese also stole
Hutchinson's white accurate scene in a surveillance video,
allegedly using it to travel to South Texas where a deadly cross
country run from Justice came to an end just miles from Mexico.
And tonight as the charges mount against her Reese could end up
facing the death penalty, David
now Do you know why it took them so long to finally catch up to
her why she could be on the run for so long?
She's a pro I
think the old chick with a Symbian phone. No tracking
what she used when anyone who goes and kills a look alike.
Yeah, that's pretty good. That's a pro. They really muster out I
bet she she gets gets gets out of this.
Oh my goodness. That's pretty. It's sad.
It's very sad. shows a lot of pot stores does for 20. Yes. So
we have a pot story. I think I have two of them here. I have
the pot story about pot and driving in Colorado. It's kind
of interesting.
Yes, News poll finds 59% of Americans think marijuana should
be legal. What about the dangers of driving while high? And
Colorado one of the first states to allow recreational pot a 51
driving deaths in 2016 were linked to marijuana. Very
Peterson has this story.
I just don't want this to happen to somebody else.
Barb Deckard fiance Ron Edwards was driving to work on his
motorcycle when a driver ran a red light and hit him. Edwards
died in the 2015 crash. And according to bullies, the car's
driver had marijuana in his system. Do you think the
marijuana may have or did contribute to this? Oh,
absolutely. According to an expert survey,
I have a question. Does does that type of accident as
horrific as it is? Does it count towards a marijuana driving
while stoned statistic? Or does it count towards traffic
statistic? Or both?
I think both is a DUI, okay. Did
contribute to this? Oh, absolutely. According to a new
state survey of 11 Nice, anonymous Colorado marijuana
users 69% said they have driven high in the last year. In some
states driving under the influence of more than five
nanograms of marijuana is illegal. But here's the reality.
Measuring impairment is complicated.
There is no science behind an exact number of impairment.
Colorado traffic safety resource prosecutor Jennifer Knutson
with alcohol we have accepted ranges of dissipation and we can
kind of tell you know, one drink equals this with other drugs.
There's no such thing.
You could ask me marijuana cigarettes. But it might affect
you differently if you're a regular user, than if you've
come from out of state and this is your first time. Absolutely.
Colorado was in the middle of a pilot program examining oral
fluid testing devices. Knutson showed us an example.
So this is your your market tip. market comes out with a testing
device.
What was the name of the company?
They never miss
it. Now, that's not much of a tip.
No, the ideas the tip. Okay. Now, along the same lines, I
think the Democrats are pulling a fast one.
Well, it seems like everyone's all in for weed these days, all
of a sudden. Yeah.
So let's listen to Schumer's ploy by news anchor Kristen z is
Here with more on that. Kristen.
I'm a recreational marijuana is allowed here in California,
eight other states and the District of Columbia you see
them highlighted here in green. 20 other states allow only
medicinal marijuana. You see them in blue, and of course
federal laws still bans marijuana. That's why SFO
tweeted this morning. Today. TSA screened for aviation threats
but also law violations. Federal law treats marijuana as illegal.
Passengers with suspect items at checkpoints will be sent to law
enforcement officer. Well that may soon change today. In a
minority leader, Democrat Chuck Schumer tweeted, he's
introducing legislation to decriminalize pot at the federal
level
at the federal level. This means that federal agents will not be
arresting people trying people for use of marijuana.
Meantime, local law enforcement and transit agencies are asking
Californians to use with caution. Countering tweeted
reminder there's no toking vaping smoking hot boxing nor
puffing allowed on Cal train or on our platform. Thank you, and
have a nice day.
Wow, hot boxing a Cal train is a fun idea.
What the hell is that even mean? Oh, um, so
if you're in the car and you hot box, that means you just smoke a
whole bunch of marijuana with the windows up and know that no
circulation of ventilation, so it's just a big hot box. So you
can just invite friends in there. Hey, come sit here for a
minute or two.
How does that work on a train platform?
Oh, I don't think she met in the in the actual train hotbox the
whole train car? Oh, that'd be fun. Bad tense my point.
So here's what's going on.
This Schumer's giving the hint he's gonna pass put some
legislation that won't get won't. Because no, no, but it's
not going to get passed because of the Republicans. Yes. And so
what they're going to do is they're going to set the
Republicans up
Yeah. And make them look like a holes for being anti weed. Yeah,
we
already do already know, the stat that 56% or 59% of the
American public one is legalized. Yeah. And now you
have these asshole Republicans who are going to end up eating
crap because Schumer is going to push this through and they these
guys are all going to feel obliged to vote no. And then
they're going to be called out for it to say, hey, you know,
these old fashioned farts? You know, these guys are losers. You
vote Democrat. This is just obvious, do they
not? What do you think they don't see this? This one common?
Because it's, as you would say, coming down Broadway. I mean,
it's very hard to Broadway coming down Broadway baby.
I think a few of them see it. But But and so they do anything.
So
Schumer has to put some the way it would work if and I think
you're right, is he would have to put something into the
legislation that would be so offensive. That wouldn't
necessarily be about the weed itself. It's there's always some
other little gotcha that I
disagree with this. Just decriminalizing weed and why
nationwide?
And why could the Republicans not be on board with that?
Because all the DEA guys and all the law enforcement experts, and
everybody's going to come out, they're all Republicans in
there. So you can't vote for this is going to ruin the
country. We're all going to be just a bunch of dope fiends.
Because Trump seems more pro No.
Jeff Sessions is definitely not Yeah,
we know. But he doesn't get to vote.
I just think this is the setup.
Yeah, well, I'm just trying to think what does that mean? Why
wouldn't Republicans?
Because I think you're just you kind of keep missing the point.
Which is Republicans are idiots. Okay, yourself.
Yeah. You're right. What am I thinking?
That you yourself just earlier in the show said both these guys
that both sides are idiots. Yeah. Except that the
Republicans about certain topics are real idiots. Yeah, this is
just being one of them and the Democrats. There's a few
Democrats Shumard be one of them that can outsmart most of the
Republicans. Yeah.
That's what we're looking at. Yeah.
I have a shorty a weed clip. It actually ties into what you
identified on the previous episode. That for 20 is now
being deemed a holiday. Yeah, that was a good catch.
April 20. It is also known as for 20 days, so called pot
holiday, and we're going in depth tonight on marijuana what
it means.
I mean, we don't have to play the whole clip. Cuz he's
explained. Well, actually, I will play on holiday. Yeah, this
is this is how the pot this is what we celebrate now in America
or your safety on the road, the money it's making for our state
and the benefits and challenges we've seen since voters
legalized recreational pot in 2012. First, though, how did 420
Become the name for a weed holiday? There are several
theories. The most common is that it's California as a secret
code among high schoolers in the early 70s. That would often meet
at 420 in the afternoon to get high because it was after school
and before their parents got home. Yeah,
okay. I thought it was Hitler's birthday we were celebrating
like it that's what they that's what they should do. painted on
the alt right. Nazis Nazis weed. They're Nazis you smoke weed.
You're a Nazi. We can we? I mean, we're so good at this. We
could put this together in a heartbeat. This is a great
promotion.
I realized looking down my clip list that I missed the one clip
that would have fit into your sexual harassment section.
You want to do it still? I mean, why we should take a break? Is
it something that will take us to the break? No. I got I got a
just a minor little topic to take us in. Edison Research came
out with and what is this now? So here we go. The Edison
Research came out with what is is podcasting is hot baby wants
to talk about it again, you know, cereal, put it on the map,
I saw this to Adam Carolla was the pod father, all that stuff.
It's titled the podcast consumer. And I want you to pay
attention to the podcast you're listening to because this type
of data, especially when it's public, like this is going to be
used over and over again to sell you as an audience.
And they got some crazy stuff in here. podcast listeners
clip out of this thing, and I never finished listening to it.
I decided there is nothing in this report that I don't know.
But does this remind you of well, okay, here we go. findings
in this report, podcast is growing, podcasting is growing,
monthly listeners grew from 24% of Americans 12. Plus, there's
your demographic to 20% year over year, and podcast listeners
are more likely to own a smart speaker. That's where that's
that's the official term now.
That is the smart speaker that is the lead into some sort of
advertising campaign. Totally.
I might want to add that the keeper and I will be disposing
of our smart speakers pretty soon. Oh, really? Yeah. And it
came from a demo a demo I did yesterday. Because now you can
just tell her to call it you call Tina. And then it says,
Okay, I'm calling Tina. Now, I didn't give it any information.
How does it know who Tina is that there's only one Tina, I
want to call? I know, I this is not my contact list. I've sent
stuff to Tina before so I'm sure that's where Amazon got it from.
And they had a number and call and connect. Like a
speakerphone. Really? That's creepy. Uh huh. And it wasn't
the calling part. It was all the stuff in between like, Wow, you
got that right in a heartbeat. Anyway, so podcast listeners are
more likely to own a smart speaker listening in vehicles is
growing. And here's my favorite reminds you of a pod show.
Meeting 10 years ago, podcasting share of ear has doubled in four
years. Share of ear
share of ear is just as stupid as anyone assistant like that
shot. Yeah.
Share of ear. Oh, podcasts are the number one audio source by
time of consumption among podcast listeners. What kind of
statistic is that?
What does it even mean? That people listen to podcasts?
Listen The most I don't know. But I want you to be aware that
this sad fact is now taking place and everyone's gonna get
all wrapped up in it and we've seen this movie. We've we live
through it. It doesn't work. What does work? Is our value for
value model.
Yeah, that works. Do
I really blew that
dammit. Yeah, you had a time doubt you were gonna nail it. To
show us by Jonah no agenda. Imagine all the people had to
deal with.
Classic classic curry. No agenda
moves. I'm wondering the spreadsheets got all the checks?
Because they're right there. Yeah. Name Amanda. Yeah, bear
and Mark Tanner. Yeah. Where is I will send the note. Of course,
back office. Where is the 1234512345 Check? From which I'm
just going to assume I'm going to put it in for the next one.

he's a little nerdy because he's a member of the United
Federation of Planets and thus we have to read his no but he
says he got nothing to say this month and J and K cheers and
beers.
So that's, and then thank you very much.

some things can be interesting to all people. Do we know? Yes,
yes. And no
matter what you're beginning of this show, you'll know what
we're talking about. Exactly.
So we want to thank everyone who also came in under $50. Under

but they seem to be failing big time. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs you've got
Wow, step back for this list. Mark Robertson says Happy
Birthday to his brother sir. Ramen noodles. You celebrated
yesterday on football actually the day before yesterday on 420.
And that's your list of birthdays for today. No nights
no title changes nothing at all. Browsers shirring raw the shore
resources, no entry. The second half of show the second half of
show just could not pass up the opportunity. As we were both I
would say under attack over the weekend under email and Twitter
attack. And people telling us we made the biggest mistake in our
lives. We are in error.
You know what you're talking about?
And these are people that don't listen to the show I'm sure of
it. Monstrous I don't even know if they're real people. It
seemed to be some sort of a I am I
received identical messages that you did. I didn't say it on the
email because I was having too much fun watching you get
triggered by it. You really don't like it when people send
you nut job videos. I just block them. And you reply and you're
like, Why? Why are they targeting me?
While I was whining about it? Yeah, you
are. And this is regarding the story about Allison Mack, the
actress who has been part of a sex cult. Whoa, yeah, Nexium.
And I'm gonna play the report and this is a pretty decent
report because it brings in the other. There are some other
famous quasi famous people in here, Catherine Oxenberg, who
was on dynasty for many years, and let's just listen to the
report as a backgrounder
Allison Mack found fame on Smallville as a teen with a
crush on young Superman. Today she was in court accused of sex
trafficking. Prosecutors say she was helping alleged cult leader
Keith Ranieri recruit women who would eventually become his sex
slaves. Mack barely said a word as the judge read the charges.
Tonight we spoke with the former longtime girlfriend of Ranieri
who was accused of leading the cult called Nexium,
I'm confident that on some level that Keith and Nancy in the
inner circle convinced, Allison that these kinds of exercises
and processes are some kind, we're gonna lead elevate these
women to a higher level of awareness and strengthen. And
I'm willing to bet that Alison kind of bought into that concept
and Alison probably doesn't think right at this moment than
anything that she did was possibly abusive.
Prosecutors say under the guise of a women's self help and
empowerment group, the Albany based organization that calls
itself Nexium was seducing women to abandon their old lives and
come join the cult. Some women were even branded with Rainiers
initials after joining Mack, a business partner and so called
slave master was said to be second in command.
It's very upsetting and nauseating to me. Stanley
serif says his dear friend's daughter is one of the victims
who got sucked into the clutches of the secret society. That
friend actress Catherine Oxenberg, both Oxenberg and
rainier, his ex girlfriend spoke outside court last week after
the 57 year old Renier he was arraigned
very personal fight for me, and he is where he deserves to be
behind bars
for the rest of his
life. And I think that this is just the beginning of what needs
to happen to stop this reign of terror that Keith Ranieri on
maxium has
prosecutors are calling the group a cult and a pyramid
scheme and are asking for any other potential victims to say
what
make up your mind now about what it is. Yeah. Well,
sometimes the the white rabbit that is q anon has tapped into
this story.
This Q anon is a trigger. Yeah. For you. For me, because there's
nothing good that comes of it. No, it's just some bull crap. Or
some guy who's really good at bullcrapping bullcrapping he's
really good at and he gets some of these people worked up about
stuff that
is when extreme.
Yeah, they own their connection worked up to
the standard hotel, they're connecting, you know, it's pizza
gate. It's Obama is eating children. I mean, it's really,
it's and I put all these links in the show notes. You know,
these are very seriously research things. But the thing
that you're all missing is because it's they're trying to
take it back pizza gate is real. You see, they're all going to
sexual. Yeah, you know what? Yeah, there's a lot of sex cults
has a lot of creepy things, certainly in Hollywood muscle
sure of that. That's the same as Upstate New York. Okay.
A lot of witches and
Hillary, you know, she lives there, and she's eating babies.
And we know that, but this is not your proof. I think it's If
anything, it's a distraction from the real crimes because
again, we have no victims. We don't have victims of the sex
cult. Or the you know, the take goes to pizza gate. Yeah,
definitely. There's ground
up and spiced with the oregano, basil. And then they put on the
pizza.
Yeah, exactly. grind it up and put it on the pizza.
Well, I have a let me just say I'm saying this not telling you
to play anything. But I do have a clip that I want to play
before you leave the segment. Okay,
good. Got it.
The I've been researching pedophile rings for a long time.
And that I've gotten into trouble over it, you know,
burned burned down my show burned down the radio station.
Station. Let's back up and gives the Do we have a lot of people
that probably never heard this story. You might as well tell it
again.
It was regarding the highest official in the justice system
in the Netherlands. I can't remember his name now with a de
Joris. It'll the troll ruhuna Demick There we go. Demick. And,
you know, there was there were actual victims who were speaking
out against his pedophilia. And you know, people getting thrown
in jail who were on to him and knew what he was doing. And
there was ample reporting by you know, pretty respectable
journalist slash magazines for that type of story. And, you
know, this whole thing got completely shut down through the
justice system itself, because it's rife, is rife with with
creeps.
Up to the Catholic Church, I mean, which priest has gone to
jail? You know, there are real things that are really sad and
bad and wrong. And you're all like following this cue guy to
try and figure out you know, if Obama's eating babies with
Hillary, ah, you know, we need to you need some actual victims,
not just the members of the cult because there's all kinds of you
know, that's like Scientology. There's all kinds of weird
things. Hey, man,
let's do some DNA testing on the sausage put on the pizzas.
The only thing that that I think is interesting. All right,
interesting. Cora. lation is the branding. Because if you recall,
was it Katherine Fitz? Is that her name? The one who says she
was an MK Ultra sex slave? Was she branded? Yeah, yeah. But but
she Yeah, she was branded. So this appears to be you know,
there's some correlation there. But stop sending us this stuff
because it finds some victims then I'll be really interested.
But I just don't see it here. But yeah, Hollywood entertainers
didn't finish it for the new listeners. And then we have a
few Oh,
well, I started talking about this story on the air on Arrow,
classic rock. And all of a sudden, the wasn't the account
the law firm Blau, Blackstone, Blau and Blackstone Group
something. I mean, they are the real bad actors. And they,
within 10 days, the government said we're pulling your license.
I got of course fired after two days. This thing went viral that
you can still find it on YouTube. And then it just became
an incredible mess and the station shut down. Gone.
Was it it burned to the ground?
Well, metaphorically speaking, there was no actual fire. You
kind of made that up along the way. And I liked it. Oh, there
was no Baelish no actual fire. But the other guy, the all his
funding was pulled his license was less than pulled first and
they all just investors pulled out so you couldn't even restart
reboot. It was it was a very interesting period. And I was
glad when you decided
I'm going to invent podcasting and I'm gonna not be you can't
wait to get it. Well, now of course, they are trying to burn
down your old place, which you just said,
I gotta tell you. I just looked out the window. And often you'll
see the fire trucks but I see the hoses hooked up to the fire
hydrants. So there's a real fire going on.
Well, the joke's on them.
I live here Gosh, darn it.
Exactly. All right.
So I so I will just say before you were not closing out the
segment, I'll just say, I'm very open. But please don't send me
these lists of links and how they linked here send me some
victims. Send me a victim and then I'll be interested, you
have no victims. Look at do true. And those crazy crazy
guys. Look at the Isle of Jersey. That's real with real
victims and real dead bodies. You don't show me a dead body
and then I'll be interested, otherwise just wasting your
time.
So this Missouri Governor is getting under fire for he's a
creep. He's apparently an s&m Dom. I haven't heard about this.
Who is this guy? Trying to get him to quit but dammit. Now
they've got some really bogus charge about him using a mailing
list illegally. So out he should go even though it's a mailing
list he developed but play this Missouri clip.
Missouri Governor Eric Greitens was hit with another felony
charge Friday. While there are growing calls for Greitens to
resign. The governor says he's the victim of a smear campaign.
Greg has the latest details so temperature was no sign of
Missouri Governor Eric Greitens in public Saturday as the
Republican once considered a rising GOP star faces a second
felony charge during his first term in office. The latest
charge accuses Greitens of attempting to raise funds for
his 2016 gubernatorial campaign by allegedly tapping into the
donor database of a veteran's charity, a charity he founded we
knew how many people were counting on us to win this
election. Brighton's, a former Navy SEAL and Rhodes scholar was
already set to go to trial next month for allegedly snapping a
non consensual photo of a partially nude and blindfolded
woman with whom he had an affair but that woman's husband
secretly recorded her describing the incident.
I don't know why it was in my hands. And then
report released from a bipartisan house investigation.
Detailed accusations of unwanted sexual encounters that included
spanking slapping and calling her derogatory names.
Wait a minute. This I don't know man. This sounds like a
relationship gone bad. Yeah, um, now it's now it's hashtag me to
unwanted spanking. Isn't that kind of how the game is played?
Oh, don't spank me.
Oh,
we're sex obsessed.
This is why it's going to hell in a handbasket. This
is why I keep telling Tina I said every show on television
needs to have one you know compassionate sex scene or some
compassion love you got to have the the idea that sex is taking
place.
Now so it's a bit of a it's mostly punch lines
exist I actually think it's good for
people. Not always crazy stuff. Not always sometimes the devil.
And I got some serious Oh, is
the segment? Yeah. Oh, okay.
I don't even remember. Oh, second half. I'm just closing
it.
Okay, we're done with Yes.
What do you got on Syria?
I got on Syria?
Let me see. Like you might as well start with mine then
rolling with attacking Syria weird PBS clip, this is from
during the attack I want to comment on this clip,
President Trump tweeted this morning, the missiles are
coming. Let's say we do go forward, what are the options
for the US?
Well, I think the first thing to consider here is that the
options will flow from the purpose of the attack, meaning
what we want to get out of the objectives, right. And these
have to come from a very deliberate process inside the
Situation Room, led by National Security Adviser a bolton and
ultimately approved by the President. So once the
objectives are set, and here I imagine the objectives are
reasonably simple, and that is to punish those responsible for
this particular attack to impose costs. And by way of those
costs, attempt to deter future attacks. And if that's the
objective, from that flows, tasks to the intelligence
community, tasked to the diplomatic community and test to
the military,
okay. The whole thing going to him is led by National Security
Adviser Bolton. Why? Why does he lead this isn't a son shouldn't
have joint chiefs in the military operation? Yeah, head
of the army or somebody? Or the, you know, General Dynamics or
anybody? Why Bolton Bolton, his National Security Adviser?
I can tell you why. Because Bolton is being set up as the
fall guy.
I don't think so.
We'll see if anything goes wrong, and Syria is his fault.
Okay, I'll let Nick, Nick and argue it
funding was paused. For multiple NGOs and help boots had boot
help, but not military boots, who helped on the ground in
Syria, the most notable being of those of that category being the
White Helmets. And and Heather, and Matt is in the room, of
course, seems like Matt is always there. Now that Heather's
book has shrunk. Heather is trying to explain how great they
are. And I in fact, they are so great that their funding
apparently has not even stopped
stabilization funding is under review. At this time. We
rent stabilization funding, I'm sorry, they had to have a cool
name. He knows
and appreciate and are very grateful for all the work that
the White Helmets continues to do on behalf of the people of
their country. And on behalf of the US government on all the
coalition, coalition forces, they're doing incredible work in
rescuing in some, in some cases and other cases is recovery
efforts. They're an incredible group of individuals credible. I
just don't have any additional information for you on on the
funding yet. But as the funding for them stops, does it mean
that their work has gotten less good? Their work stands for
itself. And that is excellent work.
And you know, she's not lying. It's excellent. They do a great
job at faking videos. They're just stupid because they keep
taking selfies of them doing it
for their for poor programs
out there. That all continues right now. They I've just
exchanged emails with him the other day, my understanding is
that their work is still going on. And we're proud to work with
them
us funding for them. Any funds that the US, we're sorry, has
the funding and the funding that the US was providing to this
group ended because of the pause.
As far as I'm aware, all the work still continues, people's
bills are still being paid. If there's anything that's a change
to that I'll let you know those contributions are still flowing.
As far as I know, that was all still is all still in play. Can
you just check that though? Because there's an internal
State Department document that says on April 15, that funding
would have ended. I will I will double you're not going to I
will double double check on that. If it's an internal
document. I can't you know, I don't we don't comment on
internal documents, but I'm not aware of one floating around if
there is one that says
we don't comment on public documents, but if there is one
floating around. Gosh, Heather, Heather, Heather, wrong side of
history girl, and we're just paying for him. I guess we knew
that. Do we know that we're paying for them? Their bills are
British for paying for them? Well, well, everyone's paying
for them. She said as far as I know everyone's been
busted out more than a few times is a bunch of
fakes. I Don't get it the why he's don't get it.
White Helmets. It's an abbrev The why he's,
yeah, well, I don't like that one. Okay, White Helmets. Yeah,
I didn't. I didn't realize that we were. We were paying their
bills, as she literally said now over in Gitmo nation East in the
UK
or Hamas here
in the UK we've heard well I've played multiple clips of people
who are getting cut off told to shut up you're nuts about Syria
when they say well why why would Assad even do this? He was
winning, you know seven years of this turmoil and then all of a
sudden oh no, no, I'm gonna throw some some chemical weapons
to have the wrath of Trump upon me
to see the oh a with that new services get the Lizabeth
America one of the guys roaming around do moss and he's nothing
going on here. And yes, yes.
One American news.
And one American news. I
told you this an interesting channel
that he had well, I have to say with this get rolling around
saying there's a talk and everybody around they're met to
places a disaster of course. Yeah. And he cases the whole
thing is everyone thinks it was staged. Well, there's nothing
that was all just done for TV.
That's why their bills are still getting paid and their per diem.
Per Diem on the set.
Falafel
craft services sucks today. Here's Sky News with a guy who
has gotten in trouble for tweeting.
So you've been identified by the government in this research as
being a Russian bot? Are you
100% total lie.
Just love that the government is calling anyone a Russian bot? I
mean, what is what dimension are we living in? He's a Russian Bot
Application
by the UK Government.
Why do you think they've identified you and singled you
in particular out then in
they are singling out or for attack. Anyone who calls out for
UK Government lies on what has been happening recently, they
have attacked me specifically because my Twitter account, as
recently got quite a lot of attraction or a lot a lot of
impressions us on it. So that's lots of people can see. I mean,
the government's lies are very transparent and very easy to
see. And anybody who applies a smattering of critical thinking
will immediately call out numerous lies, and the
government's position just completely collapses.
It is it's very apparent in the UK. They're really, really
shutting down any dissent. Yeah, it is. Now the craziest clip of
my last one in the serious series is the Syrian Ambassador
to the United Nations. Now, he said something very odd
say to Saudi Arabia today that we
did this, of course, is not him. It's the translator who's
speaking while he's speaking in the UN say to
Saudi Arabia today that we eliminated its terrorist
tentacles in Eastern Ghouta. And I mean, Jaish al Islam gangs,
yes, we say to Qatar and Turkey that we eliminated their
terrorist tentacles in Eastern Ghouta. And I mean, I know
storefront gangs and violence are Rahman gangs. And I say to
all those who exported to us, armed, moderate genetically
modified opposition, that we eliminated these toxic exports,
and we call upon those exporters to bear the consequences of
their actions, as some elements who survived would return to
their original countries.
So they have genetically modified super soldiers.
Who that was they we do
doesn't have any gymnastic. That's what.
That's what. That's what he just said.
You miss it? Well, yeah, couldn't hear him.
Okay. Well, listen to her. Oh, shoot. Gotta rewind it.
You say to session, that we eliminated these toxic exports,
and we call upon those to all those who exported to us, armed
moderate genetically modified opposition's
genetically modified opposition.
Maybe they're just a bunch of trans could be
but I don't know I think why would you say that? Maybe it's a
translation mistake watching
too many movies. It could be a translation issue. Make me
something different?
Well, I would like anyone who speaks a Syrian to what do they
speak in Syria, Syria. I don't know, some Arabic dialect, no
doubt, or French. But he doesn't speak French. I don't think he's
speaking French in the background. I just found that to
be very odd. Genetic, modified.
I'll give you a borderline Tip of the day for coming up with
that thing.
I'll take that anytime. All right, what you got to play us
out?
I got a few things here that any of them would work. There's
another school situation, which I thought was kind of
interesting. Well, let's play this and look for a better one.
Because your hands
listen closely. And you can hear the panic today as police
cleared classrooms. Students at Forest High School in Central
Florida were just about to join their peers across the country
walking out of school to protest gun violence when the issue hit
home just after 8:30am POLICE SAY THAT 19 year old sky boo
che, who didn't attend classes here managed to get into the
main building with a gun and open fire on a 17 year old
student on his family. School Resource Officer deputy Jim long
was there in three minutes and took the accused gunman into
custody.
That man in my eyes is a hero. Okay, I didn't like the way he
says it makes it sound like the gun to shooter
like that. He was a hero. Yeah, I can see where you get that. He
wouldn't do very well in the Amazon Translate API, that's for
sure.
Yeah, he said that gun shooters a hero right. Okay, I have my
last clip, which is the part of the sexual harassment series.
And all I could think about the whole time they played this is
about maze they did a whole special one I think was ABC on
maids and housekeepers and the hotel's constantly being
harassed by half naked guy.
They mentioned Al Gore at all. Ah
that's all I could think of I never mentioned Al Gore who was
busted for this. Ever. In fact, nobody even talks about Al Gore
being one of these creeps on any of these shows. But let's listen
to it and and as you listen to it, you'll hear you think you'll
think Al Gore.
Housekeeping.
There was a silent invisible force of workers tonight.
Messages from broom cleaners housekeepers asking us to tell
their story every
time that I'm going to their room I say what could happen
today? One and a half million of them ADA percent female and they
tell us for every one who speaks so many more are just too afraid
of getting fired with completely naked.
Welcome he took off his robe we met Stella who says we have no
idea what housekeepers face, telling us about one male guest
who asked her for extra towels.
I ring the bell. Many times nobody. I was in my hair. Get
the towels falling nicely. Put it in the bottle.
He was waiting there.
He wasn't good. I was my legs shaking.
She says she got a sense some people thought she was
overreacting. That probably
means that the guests think that we are include in the in the
breath. The hotel
that says you have to mirror who shows us the daily athletic
challenge we
have to do 14 year olds today. 14 bathrooms it's very very hard
work.
She always follows her training to knock three times speak
loudly never surprise a guest but admits to being wary of what
might be on the other side.
We'll have a guest half naked and miss just waiting behind the
door and you didn't know it was not an accident. No it's not an
accident.
You have to Mira now has a new tool for her protection. A panic
button.
Oh,
oh, that's too bad. I thought perfect opportunity for your
hula hoop. You have your hula skirt on fire thing. Electric
hula hula skirt. Do it man men aren't men are douchebags Well,
today's show they are Oh my goodness. That's horrible.
Doesn't surprise me or made but they should have called Al Gore
out that's just bullcrap. But anyway, good night. Yes. Good
one. A happy ending indeed for this show. No idea was pretty
big fire over there at the old place. I've always ignored
they're still not they're not using the right microservices
architecture. To get the wrong address.
