It's a cavalcade cascade of D platforming. Adam curry, John C.
DeVore. And Sunday December 9 2018. This is your award
winning get my nation media assassination episode 1093 This
is no agenda. I'm looking for a new deal and broadcasting live
from the capital of the drone Star state here in downtown
Austin Tay Hosking the Clooney. Oh, in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry
from Northern Silicon Valley where I think we should go for
Mimosa as President. I'm John Cena. Raglan buzzkill
coo. Yeah, so what I said, Oh,
yeah, I'm looking at the trades this morning.
Right on the tray. Do we have trade magazines for podcasting?
No, I guess we do. Yeah, the trades. The podcast. Insider.
Yes.
You're going all off on my mobile I best ratings on
Saturday Night Live ever mimosa. So this guy, yeah, it's never
heard. I feel pretty
disconnected to popular culture right now.
Yeah. And well, you should. And so this guy who obviously has a
new publicist, he's an actor. He's been in a bunch of things.
It's like it's not a household name by any means, but I guess
he has to some people.
Moa.
Moa Jason Momoa. Jason Momoa All right. So what is he been on
that we've?
I guess it was on an old Star Gate? Okay. The TV series I
think and I don't know what else interesting is long haired guy,
kind of hunky guy with a douchebag beard. You know, he
looks a little bit like our very own Chris Wilson, to be honest
in Australia. Looks like this. Yeah, even a little rougher
though.
Yeah, Wilson should be the next.
Wilson is the next Momo on my friend. Hands down.
We gotta get the gotta get. So he played
the ronin decks on Stargate Atlantis called Drogo in Oh, i
Hello. Game of Thrones. Game of that's why we don't know the
guy. Yes, we watch some guy. He's probably one of the most
famous actors of our time because he's on Game of Thrones,
Joss queen.
All right, good. next president. Fantastic. Although I will be
coming to you from the future on today's program. Talk about you
have something from the future? I do. But not right now. It's I
don't want to just dive into it. Let's ease into it. Because I
felt this weekend for me was a point a point, the tipping
tipping point where the M five M certainly the cable news media
actually became unwatchable for me. It was
unwatchable demand from the past. Do you haven't seen that
like months ago, but okay.
I mean, I've really held in for a long time. But when the
Mueller was Wah, whatever, completely unimportant,
unrelated, stupid information, the sentencing of Cohen. It's
like Cohen. I mean, the the movies, the scenarios, I should
say, actually, Scott Adams talks about movies, but the scenario
that MSNBC and CNN and conversely Fox have concocted
it's just not worth anyone's time anymore. It's like it
remember when the the Malaysian Airlines plane went down, and it
still hasn't been found. And I recall watching CNN every day,
they did stuff just it was wall to wall stories about this
missing aircraft. We had the crazy lady from Singapore who
was in China, we we tracked a lot of it. And I remember it was
one year they did that story for a year until they finally had to
give up on it because people weren't interested anymore. And
I think we're reaching this point with just this blather.
And this what they've dreamt
up. It's it's just
give you I'm gonna go
in that direction. Yeah, give me give me some of that.
Well, let me go with drempt up, I want to play. Because there's
two bits in here that I want to keep. I've noticed, by the way,
I don't want to tell people if you get to the Microsoft 365 to
get a terabyte of
data. It's bacon baby data is the new big plate of
bacon, you get a terabyte of cloud storage. But what's cool
about this, I put all the clips on the cloud. And the software
they're using to do search is so much faster than my desktop
software. I can find OH clips I boom instantly. Excellent. So I
find that I've always felt that the cloud would be good for that
because instead of keeping your stuff on your locals, using the
blame search stuff that we have on the desktops, to put it in a
big mainframe and let the mainframe crank through this day
and index
you really If it's being indexed by a mainframe,
well, it's probably no, it's obviously a bunch of those
servers. But the software they're using is much better
than the stuff I have.
Okay. And this is this is Microsoft's cloud. Yeah,
Microsoft's cloud. I don't run this as a cloud to that. I
thought they were going to be doing more of this or that. But
let's listen to to Brooks, Brooks and shield yields in
Brooks. And he's got two predictions in here that I'm
going to I wrote this out to be really long, so I can look it up
later. But he's got two predictions in here. Based on
what you've just said about this crazy scenario they've dreamed
up,
what do we think it adds up to? What is it
first, these guys are not very good cooperators if you're going
to cooperate, cooperate. But Manafort is going to jail
probably for the rest of his life and cones getting a healthy
sentence, because he sort of semi cooperated something like
that. But I think what we're seeing is the pace ramp up on a
lot of fronts, with they're clearly interested in the more
contacts than we knew with Russia in 2015. With the
campaign, the so called synergy, they apparently found, and then
especially the business dealings, the Trump's dealings
with in Moscow, and my instinct is that there's going to be a
lot more investigation to business than the rest into
Russia collusion, there's just a lot more there. And the other
sense you get is a lot of Republicans are looking at this
White House, and they're seeing an administration under a lot of
judicial and legal threat, and a lot are under the political
threat. And they see a White House Counsel's Office that is
denuded of authority and people and then what they call the
membrane around Trump is frailing. And the membrane is
the group of people they put around Trump to protect him from
himself. And over the years, the whole pixels of the world and
maybe in the next few days, the John Kelly's of the world that
are going and gone. And so you see a Trump on protected from
himself. And you'll begin to see a lot of Republicans who are
looking seriously at 2019 with mulata Friday's like this one.
And Trump, you know, really hurting himself and maybe not
serving at the term.
Term. Oh, yeah.
Joe's dream come true.
And you know, what's happening? I was listening to Dutch News
Radio over the weekend. And I've actually Saturday, Tina had
some, some nonprofit work to do. And so I'm just listening to
this because, you know, it's if she's around, it's you won't
understand it. And the every journalist that came on, it's as
if they sat at home and had the morning coffee and watched
MSNBC. Yeah, because they can get that over there. They can
they can you don't even need to have MSNBC to get this story.
And then they go on the air and, and just like, Oh, my God,
you'll never serve out his term. And of course, they'd like to
pronounce trumpets through him. Tell you he does this. Trim the
trim, trim, trim, trim drip, and it's the same delusion is just
delusionary. Oh,
also, I think it's also delusional to think that
Manafort is going to be sentenced to life in prison for
his financial crimes, yes.
We don't have to go through it again. It's this has nothing the
only thing as far as I can see that that that maybe maybe maybe
is out there is somehow illegal campaign contribution due to the
pay off of the stripper and the the
we should mention that if you're gonna bring that if somebody did
bring this up in a tweet, and I thought it was something to
bring up. John Edwards who ran for vice president took illegal
campaign contributions up to the tune of a million bucks against
girlfriend his girlfriend his side
piece that's right. And all you pay is a fine and then you know
this done. He didn't get any other punishment besides the
fine did he? I don't even though he got a fine. Yeah, every
campaign makes mistakes like that. And Obama campaign had
money that they took incorrectly and all kinds of stuff. So but
that doesn't matter. It's in these people's heads.
This is the wet delusional is the right word. I because I kind
of soft pedal that is incredible wishful thinking. But at the
point that it is now I would say delusional is is the semi
Correct? Yeah. I mean, just from a legal standpoint, argue this
from a legal standpoint, it's just not there.
But that's the way it is. Comey testified jobs, James Comey.
And as per his wishes, he released the entire transcript
of his behind closed doors testimony was released, I think
almost the same day. 250 pages of stuff, some of its redacted.
A lot of I can't recall. That's always my favorite
is actually somebody count. It's 57 or so. No, no,
I heard it was 250 times Hmm, that's What I heard? Well, it's
it's quite a long document, one of our producers did pull out an
interesting quote as a lot of people have been going through
this.
Let's see Ratcliffe
asks Comey. I'll just I'll just do this one paragraph here. All
right. So I guess I tried to summarize what I've heard today
Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information more than
100 times. She made false statements about it. The FBI was
aware that at least one of her aides also mishandled classified
information and one of the folks employed on behalf of Secretary
Clinton intentionally destroyed evidence known to be subject to
congressional subpoena, and preservation order and lied to
the FBI about it. And on July 5 2016, you stood you sir stood
before the American people and said that neither you nor any
reasonable prosecutor would bring any charges in this fact
pattern. Is that accuracy. Is that accurate?
Mr. Comey is reply. Yep.
I believe that then I believe it now and anybody that thinks we
were on Team Clinton trying to cut her a break is smoking
something.
Yeah, see,
it's too bad. We don't have audio of that, because that
would have been much better. I agree with Jim Comey. Why
couldn't it have been out in the open?
Well, I think it's because everyone's showboating and it's
probably embarrassing for everyone.
Exactly. very embarrassing. So now we have
a new pick for the Attorney General.
William Barr. I
guess he goes by Bill Barr. They call him Bill like Robert
Mueller is Bob Miller.
I don't know Bob I heard was William.
I like Bill Barr. Bill Barr. Tomorrow here, buddy. How you
doing?
This look very, I think he's you know, turns out he worked for
the CIA. Did he work for Papa bush? Yeah, as his Attorney
General, which was like, what, 100 years ago and now the guy is
still up for another attorney general's job after Clinton and
Bush Jr. and everybody in between?
See, he was born in 1950. So he was young at the time then.
Yeah, it was it'd be in his 40s. overwhelmed at 50. So you'd be
in this?
Yeah. She's
late 60s. Yeah, it's got to be mid 60s.
We could probably figure it out. If we did the math. Yeah. Gosh,
if we actually took a pen to paper Wikipedia is not helping.
One tooth. They usually they put it in parents. Yeah. It's not
that I'm looking
for it. It's like, why didn't they give me an age here?
Yeah. And height? 68. There's no height there.
Here is okay. So it was interesting. I think the pic was
made public. When Bush's train was doing the tour or whenever
part of the funeral possessions procession which I also did not
watch. So it was kind of an interesting time timing to
choose that. But this guy himself is I mean, I'm not quite
sure why the President picked him. Here's Greg Jarrett, on Fox
Business News. Talking about because, you know, he's, of
course reported on this guy in the past. And here we go.
The President has a duty to direct the Attorney General what
to do what not to do. This whole notion of independence is a
canard that's been peddled for 40 years. Now, as for William
Barr, I'm sort of of two minds. Yes. unquestionable integrity of
fine reputation, great experience. He brings gravitas
to the job as an establishment figure at a time when I was
Gravis
us. You know, grava toss is interesting, because it's a term
they tried to use. They tried to push this term on Obama. No, no
way before that. The first time I saw they're trying to push
push this term was when Clinton was running for the president
for the first time, Hillary or Bill, Bill. This goes way back.
This is this. This was discounted from the original
Governor Cuomo, the old man who was gonna run for president when
George Bush was up for a second term, but he decided not to
because he feared Yeah, you know, he's gonna get reelected.
So Clinton got in and that was in a cool most political career
for good because it was made a mistake because he would have
been a shoo in, it seems. But they started they dropped this
term into the public domain. They've left wing media, which
is I'm going to call it gravi toss. And they kept talking,
referring to Cuomo as being the best candidate because he has
gravitas. Ravi taught that he kept hounding us with His word
gravitas, then it disappeared completely and now they're
trying to revitalize it.
gravi TAS high seriousness. Is the Merriam Webster definition
dignity, seriousness or solemnity of manna?
Yeah, and I think there's once they rediscovered it, which is
you just pointed out? I think they're gonna, they're gonna go
hard with it. because it's just the opposite of Trump.
Well, we always tried to be Gravatt Tory on this show.
And I've always tried to have gravity fly out of the room,
toss to the job, but he is an establishment figure at a time
when I think we need a disrupter as Attorney General, somebody
who would vigorously go after corrupt officials at the FBI and
Department of Justice, who were abusing their positions of power
and attempting to undermine democracy. I'm afraid. Barr is
not that guy.
Oh, he's not. That was a good setup. Like, oh, he's not that
guy. So on TBS, they had the woman of black woman who's won
this. I think she's, she seems sweet, but she seems
incompetent. And they it's a shame because there's so many
experienced black people that could be
Gwen replacement is it? Is the Gwen
replacement it's it's the L sindoor. Woman and but there's
so they keep giving her different assignments, which she
still doesn't carry out very well because she doesn't present
well. She can't and then ca like PBS person should, which is old
network style. But Dave, they had her do rundowns on all these
different people that are that Trump's talking about replacing
one person with another and she did one on William Barcia. And
listen to her point of view, because I think she did a lot of
research she talked to a lot of people I think this is actually
she did a pretty good job except her presentation still. Skills
are still lousy. William bar summary we're gonna hear her
version
shake up. So you meet let's talk first about pick to be attorney
general and there's an acting Attorney General But Bob Barr
Robert Barr, who has been our sorry, William Barr, who served
in the administration of President Bush George HW Bush is
now being asked by President Trump to become Attorney
General. What do we know about him?
What we know is that William Barr is looked at as a respected
attorney and that Democrats and Republicans today signaled that
they could get behind him and support him. As Attorney General
I want to walk you through who William Barr is from 1991 to
1993. He was attorney general for the late former president
George HW Bush. He was however involved in the controversial
Iran Contra pardons. He formerly worked for the CIA in the 1970s
and he was an executive at
a dawn probably knows him really well.
If he was maybe he probably does yellow Don
didn't cover up bushes so it's unconscious. I'm sure they know
each other. I ran
contra pardons. He formerly worked for the CIA in the 1970s.
And he was an executive at Verizon. He is now practicing
law in Washington, DC, people that I talked to today told me
that he's an establishment Republican. This is not someone
who's a Trump loyalist. The President has failed at times,
the Cabinet members and the White House with people who are
loyal to him personally, but this is someone that someone
like Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz and other Republican had they become
president might have picked for their attorney general. I'm also
told that he is someone who has had some past comments that are
controversial on special investigations and Special
Counsel, I want to read you something from the New York
Times in on November 14 2017, The New York Times published an
article where they said quote, Mr. Barr said he sees basis more
basis for investigating the Clinton uranium deal than any
suppose of collusion between Mr. Trump and Russia. And Mr. Barr
told The New York Times to the extent it is not pursuing these
matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility.
So to be clear, Mr. Barr is saying that Hillary Clinton
might need to be investigated some more. He's also said that
it's okay for presidents to specifically ask for
investigations to happen under the DOJ. So this guy
is, in essence, a veteran of the deep state.
Yeah,
I guess. I think he's definition of a veteran of the deep state.
I mean, holy moly, but still, it seems odd that Iran como now I
guess, he just 68 Okay, it makes sense. He was he was young
though.
Back in the day. Yeah, he
must have been a go getter. Yeah, mish yummies, Leone. Now
sindoor. has quite the resume, including winning the award
named after or not a named after paying tribute to Gwen IFO, who
passed away. The Syracuse University toner prize. She's
been she's New York Times. It's been around.
She has cred. Yeah, as a writer. Oh, you will say hello. And, of
course, don't get
me started on the television. I mean, that's our job, but it's
okay. No one has ever asked us our opinion. We know what works.
They do ask us our opinion, actually. But nobody.
No one asked us our opinion about about the television
station but
stuff that we're very knowledgeable about. Oh, okay.
Exactly. They asked us our opinion about hey, what do you
think of Trump? that douchebag who used to get Trump? Well, we
don't know. We have an opinion.
I was watching. There's this view. I think we talked about
this Pluto TV, which shows up on the Roku box.
I love Pluto TV. Yeah, you get some good streaming stuff. And
before you go on, I'm gonna give you a pet peeve of mine. Okay.
So I got Pluto TV it's on the Roku. People should get it. It's
got all kinds of cool stuff has got Sky News. It's got all kinds
get that cat channel. Have you watched the cat channel?
I saw it and I did not stop I pass
the cat channel on and a crowd of people. You're stuck there
for
hours?
You know, it seems that actually seems like a really good idea
considering the popularity of cats on on the internet's and
considering that you don't deal with agents. You know, there's
no residuals to these ads to these cats. I mean, it's a great
it's a moneymaker. Okay, it's
it's hours of cat video.
I mean, I did. I didn't watch for a moment, the channel where
these young kids go out and they, you know, they shoot an
arrow with a rope across the canyon. And then they just, you
know, swing on the rope. Have you seen this channel? Oh, makes
makes me nauseous. But I'll watch the cat channel. That's
good. Well, here's
the pet peeve to do. By the way, you'll love the cat channel.
Even if you don't like cats, you love the channel. to Pluto
channel, you put it on, they get all these cheese, you get all
these different mini networks. And then they all did loads. You
hit Get one boom, it comes up you hit one come. XFINITY has
got XFINITY streaming, ah, beta, Xfinity streaming, nothing comes
up, you click on it and you wait. If you wait long enough,
sometimes up to 10 minutes, the channel will appear. And then if
you if you happen to like, try to play a channel, and as you're
spinning and spinning and you're waiting for it to appear. It
doesn't have any AC I'm sick of waiting and you try to turn it
off. Boom, it blows up the Roku box and reboots it. It is a
piece of unbelievable unrelenting crap. Hey, man, why
don't they buy that technology from the Pluto channel?
Hey, man, that's what net neutrality is all about, man.
It's like the getting throttled somewhere
brah.
So I'm watching the Pluto app, then. So you know the RT Sky
News. There's one or two other odd ones. But that's really what
I was going for.
I think MSNBC is on there.
Yeah, no, CBSN CBSN is right. Yes, she said so because you
know, I gave up I gave up on the M five n. So up off we go to
Pluto. That's there's nothing in between apparently. I went to
Pluto TV. But our team was doing a really good job of covering
what was happening in Paris. Holy moly. And make no mistake.
I got an email from somebody saying that only RT is covering
it. I told you there
was some rumors about the BBC having been issued a D notice.
And not just BBC, of course, it'd be everybody, but there's
not a lot of reporting on it. And what I saw was exactly what
you'd expect from a color revolution. We've now you know,
you have to really watch the screen and see that it's not all
people with yellow jackets. But there's also people with yellow
jackets with a with a
balaclava on them.
Who are ruining stuff, you know, they're there. Again, they're
smashing into the Apple Store stealing all the all this stuff
in the Apple Store, which is just about the stupidest thing
you can do. Children, when you're LARPing around, and you
want to go steal something from the Apple store because your
other LARPing friends broke the window and we were in and you
just grab it all and take it home. You better not be hooking
that crap up to the internet, because the apple police will
find you very, very quickly. I don't care what you can give it
to somebody else is going to come back to you. These things
are completely loaded. They know exactly where these boxes are.
There's a million ways for them to find it don't steal that. And
they saw they they ran into a golfing store, a golf sporting
goods store, got a whole bunch of golf clubs, ran outside start
smashing the window with the golf clubs. I don't think this
has a lot to do with the climate change tax anymore. There is a
genuine, very unhappy feeling. I think maybe the Marrakesh
agreement which should be signed today or tomorrow, that may have
something to do with it. A lot of people so that sadly brings
us right back to migration. But it looks more and more like a
color revolution is set up that way with the yellow jackets is
now in Belgium. They were in Brussels they were trying to,
you know, at the European Parliament, they're in
Amsterdam, they're in Rotterdam. It's happening everywhere. And
as long as the M five M doesn't give it too much attention. It
might not catch fire, I think is. That's what the thinking is.
I think that's exactly what the thinking is. Our tea is the only
network as as much as people like to condemn them. At least
they're covering this and they're covering it well, yes.
Although it's kind of funny, in the French newspapers, and now
saying, oh, Allah Patty's year, which is a Parisian newspaper to
be specific, looks like possible foreign interference going on
with these Yellowjacket protests. And you know who they
were they peg right away. Russia.
That's where our team is covering it.
But this was the parry jam, though. Yeah, yeah. They all
must be rushing, have proof. Show the proof. I don't think
they have any proof
at all. None whatsoever. But yeah,
this is the major cover up in the news. And even democracy
now. Is not covering it.
No, you mean, especially not democracy now. Especially not?
They would definitely not want to cover because of the climate
thing. Yeah. Well,
this does kind of bring nobody's
coverage. So this is the great news systems that we have. Yeah.
And they can't cover this. And it's it's exciting riots.
There's nothing more exciting than riots like this.
And what's interesting is that, you see, you know, Tina asked me
yesterday, what do you think when is this going to happen
here? I said, it doesn't happen here. That's not how we work.
It. Don't we only do that kind of stuff. When our favorite
sports team wins, then we do that kind of stuff. We don't do
it out of anger or anything we know we take to Twitter.
We actually go on, mate. Yeah,
sublimated? Yes. Yeah. We don't actually go out and do something
about it. No, no, no,
you just bitch about it on online. And then yeah, and then
you go, my job is done. My
work is done here. Okay, this brings me to a little report
from the future as I was, it's a little presentation I put
together for us. And this really comes down to conversations
we've had about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and I believe
she's a force to be reckoned with. And this is not about the
merits of what she says, although it's always fun to stop
and, and chuckle about how entertaining the things are that
she says because they clearly are not not entirely based in
reality, and some are just funny, but she has a following
she has a movement on seeing the kids like it. These are, we're
talking
she looks. She looks like an actress who should be starring
in Hamilton. Well, she's
gonna star on the big stage. This is just the beginning. I in
less Nancy Pelosi cuts her off dramatically, which I don't
think she's going to do. Because the support is garnering, I
think she already has almost 25 Democrats who have signed up to
her green New Deal. Rule. And I figured I might as well look
into this green New Deal and understand what it is they're
talking about. She has all the millennials following her. They
love her. And imagine this, you're born and what is it 99
Just make it an easy millennial number. You grow up hearing one
thing consistently.
You're going to die from climate change. Now, seriously, yeah,
not like you and I who been around who have seen the old
articles, we're going to die because it was too cold. And in
10 years, nothing, you know, we'll all be gone, the planet
will be obliterated. So we witnessed all this not
happening, which is kind of fun. We witnessed it not happening,
we remembered. But when you grow up a kid, then you just and your
parents are also kind of not really engaged in climate
science or climate truth. Just like oh, yeah, climate change,
big problem. Then all you hear is the bit the grownups talking
about how horrible and death and destruction. We've talked about
this, it's having an impact. And these are the children who grew
up with this and have been impacted and are believe it so I
can't fault them at all. It seems. In fact, I would say if I
was the evil genius behind climate change, global warming
all the mega bucks associated with it, I would probably want
this to be the outcome. Here come the freshmen here come the
new kids. They're in their 20s and they're all in on this
stuff. And it's spilling over everywhere. Here is the
intercept podcast, just a short little clip.
Well, I think you know, it on some level remains to be seen,
but the kind of basic tenets of it are that we could have
shorter workweeks. We could have a functional master transit
system for folks who live in New York, the MTA, just so
you understand this is what the millennials believe fixing
climate change will do. And she is specifically talking about
the Green New Deal GND. And this is what she believes, putting
this, this grand new deal in place will achieve? Well, I
think you know, it on some level, it remains to be seen,
but the kind of basic tenets of it are that we could have
shorter workweeks. We could have a functional mass transit
system. For folks who live in New York, the MTA could actually
work, maybe beautiful, affordable rent controlled
public housing, you know, job where our bosses aren't screwing
us over, sort of any number of things you can imagine Medicare
for all, can sort of fit under the screen umbrella. And most
importantly, the planet wouldn't be burning around us and sort of
baking us all into
begging us all. So the way I'd like to do this is indeed, let's
mock and laugh at everything they say. Because, well, there
may be some validity to their thinking that the green New Deal
will solve all these problems. But it sounded like this was
solving everything the democratic socialists of America
want. Oh, yeah,
it's always wanted, they always want mass transit to get people
out of their cars could to ruin their independence. So you can,
you know, get off your horse, we you have to get on a bus, get on
a bus. And in San Francisco, of course, or in most metropolitan
areas, you have situations, probably not as bad as San
Francisco, where there's beatings on the bus, people are
pooping on the bus. You know, everyone thinks they're a loser.
As
long as we can all poop on the bus, then it's okay. As long as
it's on the bus. intersectional pooping as long as we can all
poop on the bus. It's okay. So I'm just showing this to give
you a little example. I started watching TYT. I think it's also
the Young Turks. It is a force to be reckoned with in this
arena. And and the people are getting on there, and they're
talking about it, and it's starting to move. We have this
movement called the sunrise movement. Well, Oh, yeah.
Yes.
The sunrise movement is it doesn't really belong to anyone
according to their website. There's no on the ball. Yes, on
the About Us. There's not. Now if you it says donate. And
that'll take you to the ACT blue website, which is really, that's
not an outfit that does anything per se, but they're kind of a
clearing house for
this type of operation for these sorts sorts of things. Yes.
Yeah, Patreon.
Another thing we got to talk about. So here is one of the
What is her name machiney Prakash, and she's on with chunk
on The Young Turks just to talk about the Green New Deal and the
sunrise movement just to give you a little background or and,
and these are not stupid people. They've just been incredibly
misinformed. From there, the minute they, they took their
first breath,
they've been propagandized. And this is how it works. So
sunrise movement is working to build an army of young people to
stop climate change and create millions of good jobs for our
generation. We see ourselves as working to actually transform
the outrage and frustration that young people have felt at
witnessing so much political stagnation and inaction on the
issue of climate change for our entire lives. We've known about
the issue of climate change twice, as long as I've been
alive on this planet,
you see, you see, you understand what's happening with these
kids,
and have yet to do something meaningful about it. So we are
really working at the nexus of protest, organizing, protests,
demonstrations, things that really help us get our story out
into the public and, and getting people and politicians paying
attention to the crisis at hand, and combining that with some
hard nosed, political and electoral organizing. But we
have completely altered young people across this country have
altered what is politically possible and feasible in this
country on the issue of climate. Three weeks ago, I was seeing
headlines that said Dems damp down hopes on climate for next
congress cycle, and now I'm seeing headlines like climate
change tops Democratic agenda for 2020 for 2019 2020. And
beyond. That is unbelievable to me. And it happened because
1000s of young people started organizing, calling for the
solutions to the climate crisis like a green New Deal. We've
done hundreds of office visits to congressional politicians
asking them to support Alexandria Ocasio cortezes.
Select Committee for a green New Deal. That would create a plan
at the at the true scale and scope of the climate crisis. So
young people are energized. We are motivated. We understand
what is at stake with the wildfires that have the drought
induced Wildfires that have been destroying California and the
west coast, the IPCC report that came out saying that we have 12
years to radically transform our economy and society to protect
human civilization as we know it. Young people are with it.
And we are also ready to take action.
So I believe that I believe that they are ready to take action.
Do you want to say something? No, I mean, I'm,
you know, the thing is, there's all these little zingers that
they keep throwing in there, like the little phrase you use,
create millions of good job. Oh, yeah. Well, what name one.
So this comes from the actual document, which I took the
trouble to go get and mark up a little bit from the
Congressional website for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, it
isn't she indeed is calling for a select committee for a green
New Deal. And this was interesting, it's not just a
couple pages into the marked up a few things. I've never really
looked into how committees work and how they're put together
what a select committee even means. What we do know is that
to be on a committee, you have to pay millions of dollars into
the party into the party coffers. And that's how you get
on with this has been, we've we've discussed this in great
length. Sometimes, you know, a chairmanship can be what 5
million bucks or something you've got to bring into the
party coffees yet to get that and that goes to the party. So
the select committee, I didn't didn't realize it but a select
committee for a green New Deal. That means that the Speaker of
the House actually selects the 15 members that are being
proposed here. So there'll be Nancy Pelosi, and it will be
nine of the majority and it will be six of the opposition. It
will have juror it will have legislative jurisdiction, this
select committee which Ocasio AOC is promoting. And the select
committee will have the authority to develop a detailed
National Industrial Economic mobilization plan to be known as
the Green new deal for the transition of the United States
economy to become carbon neutral, and to significantly
draw down and capture greenhouse gases from the environment. It
will be prepared and constantly. So we're gonna have leaders from
business, labor, state, local governments, and academia will
be involved in this in this green New Deal, that can bring
in research institutions, and everything they do, will have
been planned and executed. They no longer than 10 years from the
start of this plan, which would be in 2020. And that kind of
comes down to the 12 years, you just heard about the 10 years,
by 2030, we have to have everything fixed, we have to be
completely off fossil fuels, otherwise, we all die. Then
they're going to create the so by 20, January 1 2020, they'll
have their complete plan them they'll have legislation they're
going to draw up by March. And they will also have
investigative jurisdiction, which is a big groan from me,
because that just means they're going to do more studies.
Funding.
I'll get to that in a second. Let me go to the end we go
scope. Here we go the scope of the plan for a green New Deal
and the draft legislation in there has a number of points
here. In each case, no longer than 10 years from the start of
the execution of the plan 100% of national power generation
will be from renewable sources 100%
within 10 years, there will be
built a Nash there will be built a national energy efficient,
smart grid,
whatever that means. It means you can shut it down remotely
from China bingo.
We will upgrade every residential and industrial
building for state of the art, energy efficiency, comfort and
safety. decarbonizing the manufacturing, agricultural and
other industries. I know how you can decarbonize agricultural
industry, but okay, the funding massive investment in the
drawdown and capture of greenhouse gases, I find to be
interesting choice of words. They have some frequently asked
questions, and this was my favorite. So here's one of their
facts. Why do we need a sweeping Green New Deal investment
program? Why can't we just rely on regulations and taxes alone
such as a carbon tax or an eventual ban on fossil fuels?
And the answer is regulations, taxes can indeed change some
behavior, it's certain possibility to argue that if we
had put in place targeted regulations, now how about my
printer cut this off? Dammit. Sorry, I printed cut off the
right side of the page.
Climate change there you go.
Well, then I'll just go straight to the be here.
Since I can't read it here. Why should the government have a big
role in driving and making any required investments? Why not
just incentivize the private sector and they say two things
here two main reasons scale and time first scale the law level
of investment required will be massive. And even if all the
billionaires and companies came together and were willing to
pour their resources, put the resources at their disposal into
this investment, and the aggregate value of the
investments they could make would not be sufficient. For
example, the $1 trillion, over 10 years plan for investment in
the green economy that has been floated by some policymakers,
has been criticized by climate experts as only as wholly
inadequate. 1 trillion is the entire market cap of Amazon,
think about that.
So they're gonna need a lot more they think, and second time, and
this is an update. So you just heard scale, the level of
investment required will be massive time, the speed of
investment required will be
massive. I think they just copy
pasted. Even all the billionaires and the companies
could make the investments required, they will not be able
to pull together a coordinated response in the narrow window of
time required to jumpstart major new products, projects and major
new sectors. So it's massive investment, massive time, it's
all just massive. And how will the government pay for these
investments? Well, many will say massive government investment,
how in the world we pay for this? The answer is in the same
way we paid for the 2008 bank bailout and extended
quantitative easing programs, the same ways we paid for World
War Two and many other wars. The Federal Reserve can extend
credit to power these projects and investments, new public
banks can be created, as in World War Two, to extend credit.
And a combination of various taxation tools, including taxes
on carbon and other emissions and progressive wealth taxes can
be employed. So they just say, in fine American tradition,
print up
the money. And then and what I
give them credit for is unbelievable.
I give them credit for knowing how the system works, knowing
that knowing how it works. Now this green New Deal is not new.
This is the exact same deal popped up, oh, seven years ago
with Obama
and today we're going to look at the green New Deal. Well,
President Obama has embraced the idea of a green stimulus
package, pledging some 100 and $50 billion of investments in
low carbon infrastructure in order to create jobs. Gordon
Brown has also espoused a green New Deal, in his case is to also
boost employment with eco friendly transport and
renewables at the heart of his strategy. So are we going to see
a rush to green investing? After all the returns last year were
relatively poor? And if business takes the money, will it be able
to actually deliver the reduction in co2 emissions that
the world is now demanding? That was
about $150 billion try that we did that didn't seem to go
anywhere. I didn't hear of any great successes. Did you?
Know I? Well, I heard they got worse, marginalized Kleiner
Perkins as an investment vehicle company. That's right, because
they brought in Al Gore. And the next thing, you know, they're
throwing money at stupid green projects lost their shirt, they
lost their shirts on that. And, and this was the same era that
this is when Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker of the House the
last time and she's this where that jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs,
things come from that we use they'd been using on the show
for the last eight years. Yeah. And she's and they presented
this kind of this proposal that was going to pass and, and
Gohmert called it you know, the pizza turd or something like
that really go over it has some comment. And, and the thing
never knew it was always passed. And they'd had all this
legislation about how you had you have to build your home with
certain way and you have to add insulation or you get fined. And
there's all these things. And it was it was this huge package
that the Senate just said no. And that was the end of what's
gonna happen. But these guys and it's like the Senate was you
know, when I get to do this, well, there's there's okay. And
by the way, the Senate was dominated by Democrats at the
time. Oh, yeah.
Well,
so just before the weekend, there was a town hall. And the
town hall was hosted mainly by Bernie Sanders, who was very
much with the young kids still the millennials, they all love
him. Bernie is all on the on that popular tip. And they
brought on guests, many guests, including our girl AOC from the
DSA hate, but they started off with a little video. Again, just
setting the stage so you understand how kids today feel
about it. But listen to what she's saying. And this, this
really confirms my point, not only as to what these kids grew
up with, why they're thinking that way, but there's a little
nice little gimme in here.
My name is Marcela. I'm 21 years old and I was born and raised in
South Florida. Growing up dealing with hurricanes was a
regular occurrence for me and my family. I remember being really
little and feeling afraid because sometimes my dad would
have to work during the storm, but it wasn't until my family
moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida that I really became
cool. Mostly acquainted with the devastating impacts of sea level
rise, we move somewhere that sometimes called the Venice of
America, and it's well known for its beautiful waterways and
coasts. My family was lucky enough to live just one block
away from the beach. When we moved, I started to notice that
every time a storm would hit, the street in front of my
apartment was flooded, and sometimes it would flood even
when it wasn't raining, local businesses would have to put out
sandbags to stop the water from coming into the shores, my
parents would have to move the cars up to higher ground for
parking, there was this weird dystopia where regular people
were being forced to become experts and the oceans, tidal
patterns and sea level rise. So I'm really bad days, the
entrance to my apartment building would be blocked off
from flooding. At this time, I didn't know that any of this had
to do with something called global climate change or sea
level rise. I just knew that this was an everyday part of my
family's life, that I went to college and I learned that my
personal experiences with flooding and with Hurricanes
were just warning signs of more drastic changes to come from
Florida and for the rest of the world. So
when she went to college, that's when she learned that she was
going to die from this ugly climate change. That's where
they taught her from the
cause you're living on the front on the beachfront property, and
then it during a storm, you get a little little flooding there,
which has probably been going on since the 1800s. Well, they
call it the Venice, the Venice, Florida. So yeah, it's been this
has been a problem for since before she was born. Once she
got the college. That's when that's when she was told what
this all was about. And that's what these kids are growing up
with.
Yeah, you're right. I think this is a very good point you're
making. Now we get into dressing. This is the gym that
normally we put depressing stuff like this at the end of the
show. So they don't donate
i. So we do the depressing stuff up front. We do a happy go lucky
at the end. So people donate it. We're switching it up. John,
just going crazy with the format today. Any any anything to help.
Here we go to the roundtable. Bernie is of course he's you
know, the conversate conversation is about the report
that was released that was covered up and, you know, does
the question here really is does Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have
you know, does she does she have the solutions here? Is she
right? Oh, and I might want to point out that on this panel is
also Van Jones, Van Jones. Jack Welch, you'll recall, he was the
green czar of the Obama administration. Yeah, he was the
guy who brought in the Green Deal initially and got ousted
because it was actually weird. I think he was associated with
some odd people. And it was he actually was all in on 911 like
911 Inside Job boom out of the Obama administration. Get into
that. Let me see. But I got a link here. What exactly did they
accuse him was? It was Jones was under fire for his past
affiliation with 911 conspiracy truthers. I'm reading this from
a 2009 article. And for calling Republicans assholes in a video
before he was appointed to the Obama administration,
Republicans. Republicans then also began using him to escalate
criticism of the administration's deployment of
czars, you recall those days across the policy landscape,
saying they were being used to avoid Senate scrutiny of
appointees but more problematic was the fact that Jones has
controversial statements fits snugly into the narrative woven
by some conservative critics of Obama as a dangerous leftist a
critique that goes back to the campaign and was based on much
of his past work as a community organizer with associations of
the likes of Jeremiah Wright and William air. So there was a lot
going on when Van Jones got kicked out and he had to fall on
his sword. I remember it. Well, we were doing the show. So he's
on this. And he of course, is weaseling in on the action.
That's why he's got a show on CNN again, it's all coming
around the grand new deal.
Is President Trump, right? That's a hard one. I want you to
think about it before you respond. Or, in fact, ideas out
there that would enable us to create millions of good paying
jobs
now this was your question, John, good millions of good
paying jobs. Let's get to the bottom of it. Just stick with
the program from fossil fuels.
It's it's unsurprising that the response to any bold proposal
that we
let's not mock her for her voice, let's just just bathe in
it. It's like it's like an army like a bath of razor blades, but
I just have to say, and again, I'm just looking at the media
personality here. Girls got it. She's got that she's got
everything you want. You can hate her. You can love her. It's
all in there and Voice cuts through some may call it
piercing it cuts through
fossil fuels. It's it's unsurprising that the response
to any bold proposal that we have is to incite fear, to
incite fear of law.
By the way, I just have to say that it's crazy about her
everyone, especially the Republicans and the president,
they incite fear. But that's exactly what she's doing even in
these words,
to any bold proposal that we have, is to incite fear, to
incite fear of loss to incite fear of others to incite fear of
our future. But the only way we are going to get out of this
situation is by choosing to be courageous. That's the only way
we're gonna get out of this. And first of all, it's just plain
wrong. The idea that we're going to somehow lose economic
activity. As a matter of fact, it's not just possible that we
will create jobs and economic activity by by transitioning to
renewable energy, but it's inevitable that we are going to
create jobs, it's inevitable that we're going to create
industry. And it's inevitable that we can use the transition
to 100% renewable energy as the vehicle to truly deliver and
establish economic, social and racial justice. And yes, that is
our proposal. And that is what we are here to do. Because in
the depths of darkness, in the depths of despair, which what we
last saw
this and this is really important. What are you doing
rummaging around, you're dropping stuff are you
budget, just just play.
She's now gonna give us a little history lesson for a second I
couldn't figure out what she's talking about. This is where she
connects the green New Deal to SDRs New Deal
of America. That is our proposal. And that is what we
are here to do. Because in the depths of darkness, in the
depths of despair, which what we last saw, you know, when we
think about where we were, when the New Deal was established, we
were a nation in depression. In Great Depression, we were a
nation on the brink of war, we saw the rise of fascism creeping
across, in in Europe. And no one would thought that a nation so
poor, so scarce, and so in such dire straits, as we were, in
that time, could pursue such a bold economic agenda, but we
chose to do it anyway. We had the courage to ask you to minute
and that is what this moment demands of us right now. That's
what we have to do we have to this is going to be the Great
Society, the moonshot, the civil rights movement of our
generation, that is the scale that is the scale of the
ambition that this movement is going to require.
So what she's saying here, this is the moon shot, which by the
way, it would just be easier to make a video about how great you
are with the green New Deal and just put it out there pretend we
did it. Just like the moonshot. It'll be like FDR is New Deal is
this indeed like FDR is New Deal what was FDR is New Deal Jhansi
Dvorak.
And if I could put it in a nutshell
it was a reorganization of the country somewhat no also putting
people to work in make work jobs like the WPA, what are those
Projects Administration is get does a civilian conservation
corps. If you look at it objectively, the New Deal didn't
even work. It kept us in a depression longer than we should
have been in one.
Really have not heard that one yet. All of you.
You'll hear it if you just look around enough. I don't know what
this woman is crazy. We weren't a poor, starving, skinny little
country.
That's what she said got
an office we're in a depression. Yeah,
that's what she's saying. She says we are in a depression a
third world country.
We've thanks to the new deal we got out of that. Well,
just remember, this is a millennial when she thinks
depression All she knows about the depression because it's of
course she hasn't read up on it. Is the black and white photo of
the men standing in line for jobs wear their hats on standing
in line for soup kitchens, that is the entire history of the
depression in the American experience these days. Do you
think they went into anything deeper than that? Clearly not.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be suggesting these things. So this
is the idea and it's not new, is to create a new industry force
industry away from the oil economy which the United States
has forced it into things that do that have not been proven to
actually work financially, which is wind and solar. Now if if she
said let's do nuclear, I'd be all in I'm like, Yeah, I think
you can do somewhere that I don't know if you can change the
economy, Chile
that nuke is kept out of the circle, and they wanted to
abolish all the use of all four fossil fuels, which is
interesting to me, because then she won't be able to fly from
state to state to do this propaganda. How do you get
around with? How do you fly a plane? Oh, well, I knew how to
replace
Battery. Electric electric planes. Yes, that one
guy, one guy in a super lightweight plane with a couple
batteries has been able to get off the ground. That's for 20
minutes. All right, we move on. So this is what I like about her
idea and what the thinking and I'm sure it's not her alone,
there's other people behind her there must be is all the
problems you see, everything and the problems that kids deal with
is racism, other racism, sexism, Nazism, hate ism, whatever ism
you want to put in there, all of that will be solved by solving
this problem, because she and the Democratic socialists of
America want to redistribute everything. Just every job that
has anything to do with energy, wiped off the map, map, bring it
back, give everybody the same salary, the same living wage,
the same uniform, probably, and march along to work and do the
good work to solve our climate crisis.
How do we and I think what we all understand is that we're
fighting for the future of the planet. And Alexandria's talking
about is that not only can we effectively combat climate
change, but in the process, we can do good economics and create
millions of good paying jobs here and throughout the world. I
will go into some detail. Yeah,
absolutely. And it's important to also talk about the fact that
this is not just an economic solution is that this is how we
this is the the mechanism through which we can really
deliver justice to communities that have been underserved. The
water in Flint is still dirty. The water in Flint is still
dirty. We've got children van and I were talking really we've
got children that are that are choking on the smoke in
California, those same those same children and rather
children a mirror
I got that was a good one, by the way that that got to me. Oh,
just to see these kids. choking on
smell of those children in Puerto Rico Archer are choking
on the fungal spores because we have not recuperated from the
crisis.
I'm choking on fungal spores in Austin, stop with that.
And the mold from the floods is taking up all of these people's
homes. We have injustices in this country, those injustices
are concentrated in frontline communities and indigenous black
and brown communities. They are the ones that experienced the
greatest depths of this injustice. But if we chose and
if we had the moral, political and economic courage to say,
we're gonna fix all the pipes in Flint, we would put a lot of
people to work at the same time.
There you go. So it's putting people to work to clean your
pipes. That's my get.
Okay. So you create a I don't know, what do you think 10,000
plumbers in Flint to fix all the pipes? Because you want to get
it done quick get quickly in it that I think that number might
work. Yeah. You also have some construction guys back hoes and
things digging up to you know everything they can to get rid
of these old pipes. And so you just put a whole effort on that.
And then you get that job done, then what do you do with these
10,000 Plumbers that are in Flint
use them for fuel.
Obviously, the plan has a lot of holes in it. But that doesn't
mean that doesn't mean that the people will not be convinced by
this. There's a lot of abstractions, extraction,
abstraction airy thinking going on. It's like, Oh, that'll get
solved and it's done. It's all fine. But stop. Well, yes,
I want to mention something because everybody there's been
all these things. There's a big article online Oh, don't
underestimate AOC don't underestimate this woman Don't
mock her because, you know, and you're kind of on the same boat.
No, I said from day one. I said people laughing about her. It
sounds exactly the way people laughed at Trump. That's what I
say. I understand what you're saying. And I but your would be
on I would say if there's an argument to be made you're going
to be making the arguments in support of her. Yeah, her
potential not or her potential of course, yes, of course. Now,
I think she's just too stupid, personally, to get very far and
I think you now you can just throw the Trump thing at me
because all he knows what they said about Trump. He's too
stupid. No, he actually is his data says yes.
And he sounds stupid. He does. He sounds stupid. He does. Just
like AOC sounds stupid.
But I think she's genuinely stupid. I don't know if he's
stupid or just you know, streets are no, no, no, no, no, I'm just
gonna say a billionaire that gives him some credit for being
at least not a complete idiot.
First thing, I didn't clip it, but during this conversation,
they actually said, in America, it seems like you're only deemed
intelligent if you make a lot of money. And you just prove that
and I not know I didn't. They said, You just said the guy
makes a lot of money. You can't be stupid.
But no, I said I didn't say was intelligent though. They said
that you you're intelligent. If you make a lot of money, I'm
saying you can't be really stupid and make a lot of money.
That's a little different. Okay, I'm not going
to belabor the point. But she is not stupid. She's highly
intelligent. But this is mind control. And she's all in she
has no economics degree. That as far as I know. But it also
doesn't matter because she has an entire legion of politicians
lining up behind her they know they know it's not going to
happen. They don't give a crap. Follow her. Follow the power.
They're
following the following the power wisely and you would argue
there wisely,
wisely following the power. But stop. We have breaking news. We
got it. We got to say something about trauma. Can
We interrupt this? Make an announcement? About your shoes?
Yes, yes. We need at least a half hour discussion. Right?
Your shoes very Just kidding.
And the same day as the as this. But it's a it's a funny note.
But the but the exact same day as the Trump administration's
Climate report, which they tried to bury bury, which they tried
to air a month early the day after Thanksgiving, that same
day, they spent in prime time talking about my shoes. And it
by the way,
that was that the Trump administration talking about
your shoes with the news media? I'm not sure you may, you may
have to look for your enemies elsewhere. But that is
what I talk about when I say being unseen, is that they won't
even bring it up. They don't bring up Americans that make
less than 40,000 or $50,000 a year. They don't bring up the
fact that we have some of the largest we have amassed some of
the largest amounts of wealth in American history. But we have
never seen so many people struggling and living paycheck
to paycheck in the way that we are today.
Oh, I think we have two more clips named on now we bring in
Van Jones, he will promote himself. Well.
First of all, I just it just brings tears to your eyes. It's
just unbelievable. And what a fake bill and Bernie, myself and
a bunch of other people here. We tried to take this hill. Yeah,
we tried to take the hill in 2008 No, I was a nut job. A big
part of Obama's agenda was essentially the green New Deal.
But you know, I talked about 911 truthers I had a job in the
White House to try to implement it. Right Wing came after me I
had to resign under fire.
rewriting history Vann. Wow. That's why I read. That's why I
read to you What actually had happened, because I knew this
was coming the guy just, but of course, we all gloss over the
errors in our history
to try to implement it. Right, we had to resign under fire.
Then they came after bill, and we couldn't get it done. But um,
I think you're gonna get it done. And yeah, we're gonna get
it done. We are the world. Voices
words. No, we're just we're getting we're
we're both Yes. Remember millennial,
rather than talk about my green collar economy? The only thing I
think about your politics that's interesting. Is you your
generation uses term intersectionality. Which I've
had to look up, but it's I think we used to call the Rainbow
Coalition back in the 80s and 90s. But you guys have taken it
to a different level. Can you just talk about we had a slogan
10 years ago, green jobs, not jails that we saw criminal
justice and economic justice and environmental justice as one
fight those kids standing on street corners. We don't have
disposable resources. We don't have disposable species. We
don't have disposable children or neighborhoods either. It's
all precious. And that those kids can be putting up those
solar panels. Like like Bernie was saying, and
there's your good weekend job right there. John, those kids
running around in gangs, what could they be doing on the
weekend? They could be putting up solar panels. Solutions is
what we're about.
And that's what they want to do.
They want kids to put solar panels on their roads,
disposable resources. We don't have disposable species. We
don't have disposable children or neighborhoods either. So All
precious that those kids can be putting up those solar panels
like like Bernie was saying and making a positive difference.
Can you just speak to the intersectional power of your
green New Deal?
Okay, now this is so this is the meat of it. She's going to speak
to the intersectional power of her green New Deal
as well as second.
I sense of a hint of mockery in your voice. And yet you condemn
me for saying she's stupid. I'm not
saying she's stupid. Well, maybe you need to define stupid
because you can't fix stupid.
That's the point I'm making. Can't fix stupid. All right,
going. I'll accept the mockery in your voice. You can now play
it which I believe is probably going to be the punch line clip.
Yeah, that you made this punch line up on punch line.
Yeah, it's really the the core of that is leave no person
behind. We cannot have a solution
we can isn't that a military term?
Leave no student behind ya know the Marines the Leave No soldier
behind leave no student behind leave No, somebody behind no
child. Yeah, she's derivative does she I give her credit for
this, by the way, she's done been doing a very good job of
stealing other people's ideas, including green New Deal, as you
pointed out earlier in this in this stream of
the tea, but it's not just stealing. I mean, she took it
and ran with it. And everyone who was a part of it seven years
ago was like, whoa, I'm Ben Jones, let me power
of your green New Deal.
Yeah, it's really the the core of that is leave no person
behind. We cannot have a solution, we cannot move forward
into our future unless every single American is considered
part of that. And whenever we see oversights, you know,
oftentimes when we get to the negotiating table, in laws and
in policymaking, there's this idea that, Oh, we can leave the
poorest of the poor behind, or we don't have to worry about
this tiny sliver of the population, because they're just
a tiny sliver of the population. And what that eventually does is
that it creates a crack. And that crack, really, if you think
of there being like a crack in the dam, it's usually where
things always break down. And when we see the right way, with
integrity, that honors everybody from the most vulnerable to the
most powerful. When we we acknowledge and see every person
in this country, which is really what it's about is that we have
chosen not to see people in this country, we have chosen not to
see people in this country until the majority of us have become
unseen, economically. Working people are not seen in the halls
of Congress, working people are not seen, and policymaking until
we realize that the majority of Americans are working or working
poor. This is
persuasion. And I think it's good persuasion. I think she's
really sort of She said nothing about what she's doing nothing
at all. She just spoke in identity politics to the entire
world of identity politics groups. And I think it's going
to be very effective. Here's your punch line clip.
The good news is that we're not starting from scratch. There's
so many people like Van like Senator, Senator Merkley, who
who had established the select committee when he was in the
house, a previous Select Committee, there's a lot of
legislation that has been drafted to already start
addressing some of these smaller issues just just transitions in
coal, whether it's, you know, whether it's it's our energy
infrastructure, whether it's battery, when we're looking at
Battery grids, and so on. There's a lot of work that has
already been done. But it needs to be consolidated and brought
under the tent of a green New Deal. And when we try to solve
this issue, piecemeal, we are not going to get it solved in
time.
So what she's saying is, everything that deals with the
economy has to be in my Select Committee, you can't deal with
it outside of it, you got you got battery grids, whatever that
is, that's in my group, battery grids here.
That's why we are asking for this really great, ambitious
singular plan. And that is why, you know, I believe that the
progressive movement is the only movement that has answers right
now. We're the only ones that are drawing from the lessons of
history from Franklin Delano Roosevelt from some of the most
ambitious projects that we have pursued in, in American history.
And that truly, again, is the scale that it's going to take.
So, you know, I think that there's so much work that has
been done and there's some outline questions, especially
when it comes to investment in technology. Here we go. When we
as a public choose to invest in private, when we as a public
choose to invest in new technologies. We deserve a
return on that investment. And for far too long. We gave money
to Tesla We gave money to a ton of people, and we got no return.
This is our investment that the public made in creating
technologies. And it's about time that we get our due.
Because it's the public that funded and financed a lot of
innovative technologies. And that's another, you know.
So if you Elon with your no return on investment, thank you,
AOC for saying that, that's a fantastic example, by the way,
finance, by companies like Kleiner Perkins, not that they
pulled money out of their pocket, they went to Washington,
they got the money for it $500 million, just for Fisker alone,
forget about all the money that Elon Musk's has, has taken. And
then we continue to subsidize the
well, we remember that the only reason that we're getting raped
and this money is being taken from the public, which means
your taxpayers and 500 million being sent off to a Fisker that
went out of business that immerse Linda or any of these
other companies is because of people like her and this
promotion of this global warming nonsense at this level. Exactly.
So it's like this vicious cycle, and you create the phony
problem, and then you solve it with you know, then you show
people for money and then you give the money away. And the
money goes all these it goes into somebody's pocket. It's not
that it's not, you know, that it's actually being used for
anything productive is not being it's not beneficial to anyone.
It is to Elan no such thing as a giant scam. Yes.
But our job is
to help the millennials who are woke
there aren't that many that
we have a few. And there are a few I'll take the ones we got
because they're the ones that have somehow they I think a lot
of them do poorly in school. That's why the programming
doesn't
work. Doesn't know how to fake it. Do well,
it's it's right. Right. Okay, we got a note from Gabby Bentley.
She said millennial boots on the ground school report. And I'll
just give you a couple choice bits a bit of background I was
hitting the mouth my dad and brothers who have been listening
to the show for years. My dad is even a knight. He is Sir snoops
Magoo. And oops, I met John at the meetup in Seattle. I'm the
girl standing next to him in the big group photo. 24 years old. I
live in Tacoma, Washington. I currently go to community
college and have been for the last two years except for about
five months. Last year when I did a study abroad in Japan.
Here's a couple of observations. I'm just going to pick one or
two. There. This is an important one. There's an epidemic of
depression among millennials. I think that's because of social
media and many, quote, disastrous things they read on,
it's causing their make delay to become enlarged. Also, many of
my friends like to joke about the depression and romanticize
it. It's almost as if that if you're not depressed, you're not
cool.
It's very troubling. In college after the election.
After Trump was elected teachers and students at my school became
absolutely unhinged. I took English one on one in the winter
of 2017. And almost every class, my teacher would spend a lot of
class time spouting her opinions on Trump, some of which I have a
recording of send it in spring of 2018. My end did in spring of
2018, my history teacher would spend the first 10 to 15 minutes
of class talking about what CNN had said about Trump the
previous day, even said during our unit on the Cold War, quote,
Putin is worse than Stalin. Needless to say, I spent the
majority of my time in that class rolling my eyes. So there
are young young people who are woke up using that term. And we
need to help them as much as we can by exposing this farce. But
make no mistake AOC and the DSA are on a fast track to power in
Washington, DC. I don't see how Nancy Pelosi now was 25 members
of the sunrise coalition or whatever they're calling it 25
New Democrats are all in. Yeah, I don't think she can just say
screw it. We're not going to do it. She'll, she'll let them
create it, but I'm sure she'll hamper it somehow.
Well, she'll try to control it a little bit. She did the same
thing with the jobs, jobs, jobs, let's vote for jobs. She was all
in on that. And that was pretty much the same. Same deal. In
fact, it sounds almost identical to what was going on back in
2008.
Difference is look at Ocasio Cortez. Look at Nancy Pelosi.
What were the kids going to be attracted to? Ya know,
the kids are gonna obviously be ya know, but ya know, are gonna
obviously be attracted to the more attractive of the two. The
one her wishes, which is Miss bug is the
one who was slapping down history. It's been done before
FDR did the New Deal we're going to do when we were in our
country and we were a poor country we were at we had no
money we were just SLUBs down in line for
a job or its world.
And we can get battery grids. So there'll be a lot of mocking
Don't worry plenty of mocking for us to do but I think she's
on a fast track and I'm not going to discount her and it's
now my beat.
You get a habit. And
with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you John. C stands for cero phobic double
check in the morning to you in the morning to you, Mr. Adam

She's in Vista, California. Hello gents with this donation
of achieved Dame hood, and then she says I wanted to point out
to listeners that I achieved most of this with the $333.33
cent monthly subscription, which curiously is their most popular
monthly subscription. I treated it as any other bill and kept up
with it even when I was unemployed. Just saying can I
get a douchebag call it from my wonderful friends Joel Mahi and
Patrick and no they won't take Bitcoin Patrick drop it on that
note I want to extend my thanks to all of my friends out there
on the no agenda universe for the jobs calm which includes my
amazing has been Brandon who stuck it out with me and showed
me nothing but love and support through some tough times. I got
a ton of amazing I'm sorry we got a ton of amazing. Let's
get a ton of I get
it I can see where it can jump to this line. And then we got a
ton of jobs coming back in April on my contract but oh she got
some jobs karma and her contract position with a big biotech
company was coming to an end. When I wasn't able to get a job
after that contract had concluded I became doubtful of
the job karmas power Oh no. Tell you friends it works even if
it's a little delayed. Last month I became as a research
associate and conduct research on cancer and infectious
diseases. I'm absolutely in love with my job. They told me that
some of the diseases they researched include Ebola and
Zika. Oh, now I'll be able to get some inside scoop on the
research being done on any diseases that the media uses to
scare the shit out of people and assure you that is really isn't
as bad as they say or confirm that it's really that bad. I've
got to say that making art for the show is a ton of fun. And I
do it whenever I can. I wanted to mention that Nick, the rat
was nice enough to take the time to give me a few pointers on art
design. After a couple of lessons I was selected, and part
of that was definitely thanks to his guidance. I would like to be
known simply as Dame Illuminati. Yeah, I would like roller skates
and beautiful and breakfast burrito is brought to the round
table. Yes, I have them right here. If you would be so kind.
Adam, John, I love you. And thank you. The event been a very
positive force in many people's lives and I hope more people
will contribute to this show and help you stay around forever and
ever. Well,
Oh God, no, not forever. Not forever and ever
adding more to the show.
I'm so happy Illuminati. Yeah, and it's nice because for some
reason, Eric, the show didn't put you on the list. I have you
on the list of course for a for a Daming. And I'm very excited
about that and you have truly been a great force for the show
and I love seeing what you've received back. Now besides jobs
karma you know you you've got interaction with other people
within the value network. That's what it should be. And I'm gonna

George HW Bush, I was almost certain that I had to imagine
all the shenanigans he and his administration got down to or
had somehow slipped into another dimension. Fortunately for my
sanity, the full throated roar of Thursday's show cut through
the droning of the pundits and that clips from Democracy Now
we're a pure juice almost too delicious to believe. Thanks for
the bi weekly sanity check. Enjoy the bags of elevens Can I

Open up the newsletter and read it.
No, I have it here. Dear Adam and John. Actually it says Dear
John and Adam, a small football ever since Sir Mark hit me in
the mouth in the early 200 episodes have no agenda. I have
fervently been listening each Friday morning and Monday
morning due to the time difference in Japan to get my
dose of sanity. John, your newsletters are always a great
tease. But the recent one was just outrageous asthma
cigarettes and no flies on me thanks to d d. T. It's baffling
how over the years intolerance of the large gray scale of
diverse opinions has grown and more and more people feel
compelled to simply take sides with either black or white with
nothing in between. I was stunned at Tim Collins Tim Cook,
Tom Collins hypocrisy for wanting to welcome all refugees
while Apple itself carefully scrutinized as who is led
through their door A huge thank you for your courage and making
the news plain to see to us all also big thanks to all the
producers especially the art and jingle producers for keeping in
a sparkly happy festive season to you all day master Duchess of
Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea and
thank you day master it's always lovely to get a note from you

the in the in the newsletter it worked really did thank you
big patrons of the show. The

also the most popular newsletter It seems I got more feedback

testimonials but no guys shooting off firecrackers on
their crotch always beats out intelligence and you worry about
AOC being stupid Come on.
Deck crotch one is the one that was the
I liked I liked the guy who drinks the burning liquid and
then spills it on and then he's faces on fire that's my favorite
is a bunch of other guys in my favorite part about that one the
guy's face is on fire and so his friends are about to help the
one one douchebag in the front near the front of the camera has
to take one less drag on his cigarette
hold on bro I'm coming bro Hold on one sec. All right. spanks
him with a with a towel
in his face is great. Just love that. Yeah,
these are the people who of course these people will believe
in global warming. Hello this thing their face on fire on
purpose. This thing that crops on fire with with with
firecrackers.
Oh, Raj. The true money shot that was good one.

episode 1093 and we will be thinking more people $50 In bulk
in our second segment and another show coming up for you
on Thursday. Remember us at VO rec.org/in A you've got just
about everything you need in your toolkit go out there and
propagate our formula. Our formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth I think
there's some I want to match from the last show when we
played that woman who the de Faker that was talking about the
babies and the incubators and all that
yes yeah. Democracy Now clip Yes. She also
had some stuff in there that was that should have been sending
off alarms you've been in the Middle East I have if you ever
noticed that when you're driving like into the through the desert
or any area where you're usually on a highway or some sort of a
paved roads beautiful
highways in Iraq, they had the the highway was eight lanes and
you drove in the middle.
Yeah. And it was same in Israel's that way. They're all
these. She made it sound like they're driving in the sand and
listening activities because they got stuck because they got
stuck a couple of times because they're driving they're driving
not on a highway or road they're driving and literally in the
sand, which was just a promote the idea that this is just a
bunch of sand. Yeah, of course. No cities there's no road. It's
just sand.
Yeah, man, sand. You know, I caught the intercepted that's
Jeremy Scahill does a podcast for the intercept that $250
million blog that Glenn Greenwald, Don Raff and Pierre
Omidyar started. Yeah. And he did the pretty much the same
thing as as democracy now about Bush, he went really far just,
you know, the yelling about and going into great detail of the
horrors and the death and destruction that HW Bush had
brought upon the world, the ruthlessness and like, wow, this
is another great example of someone not cow telling to the
normal M five M line. It turns out, you know, what this guy
came from? His first gig was interning, for Amy at democracy
now. Yeah,
pretty good. That she always has him on to pretty good. Like it's
it's a little cult. A little
cult, like, Molly. Well, it's,
yeah, it's a little cold. So we have it looks like now Trump is
going to change a bunch of people out which is doesn't
surprise me after
the end of the year. It's the end of the year, it always kick
some people out.
Now, I don't have a run down on the on the number of people but
we do have a parent and I have to have all these little little
run downs by the L sindoor. Woman on the main people that
are leaving, and I would like to play them so we know because for
example, Mark Miley, the guy who was the Army Chief of Staff, the
top guy. Oh, yeah. The Joint Chief. No, he's not the Joint
Chief guy. He is the army guy.
Oh, this is the guy you like. Yeah, you'd like this guy? Yeah,
I do. Like this guy. I have a couple of I still I brought some
of his old clips back. Okay, because he's the one who gave
that slightly long as the three minute 23 second clip on the
world order. I don't necessarily want to play it right now. But
it looks like Tillerson Well, Tillerson has been gone for a
while but they're gonna bring in Miley and then they're gonna
move over Heather Nuart now.
Now we're coronated is now ours. Yeah. Now,
I want to play this clip about her bye. Bye al sindoor because
the mainstream media has gone after
they're going after her. Oh, yeah. Because she's one of them.
You see, she was a Fox News babe. Although she's very
accomplished in her own right. But she knows she's, she's just
she has no symptoms. She know about politics. She's just
not there to do nothing. This was a revealing clip because it
says if l sindoor did a very good job of running, you know,
giving a rundown on her. But she never threw in that she doesn't
know what she's not. So Judy throws it in at the end. Which
makes me think that Judy is really the left winger there.
And once Gwen IFO left, Judy has like become a kind of a net
ball.
Heather nauert. She has been the spokesperson and Assistant
Secretary of State, what do we know about her?
I'm gonna quickly walk you through her bio. She was
spokesperson for the State Department. She was she was
appointed by President Trump in April 2017. She was a former
correspondent for Fox News correspondent for ABC News. So
she's someone who has a lot of experience in journalism. I'm
told today that President Trump appointed her because she's a
good talker. She's someone who has defended this
administration's foreign policy plans. The president said she's
very smart, very quick. people I've talked to say that she is
someone who could talk who could really come up to speed on the
UN's dealings that she could do the outside job which is given
speeches, and that she could rely On her staff as much like
Hillary Nikki Haley did to talk about other countries and get
them to really, to really support the things that the
United States wants them to do, but
no significant diplomatic experience.
No significant diplomatic and then you throw that in.
How can you how can we be mean about a woman? Mean isn't mean
isn't as the intersectionality we want? Isn't this the
diversity that we speak that we seek? I mean, let's see. Let's
see. She went to shitty schools. Arizona State
let's party school. Yeah. Pretty girl is Bachelor
of Arts and Communications from Mount Vernon College for Women,
a master's degree from Columbia. And let's see what she did. She
did work at some pretty serious news organizations, ABC News.
She contributed to ABC World News Tonight. Good Morning,
America, Nightline. She was nominated for an Emmy Award for
her news prowess. Again, she said, what does she know?
Stupid?
Pushing nobody anything?
No policy is the wrong person. It's exactly the right person.
Everybody who's know all these jokes, who stand up there, the
United Nations. It's all it's all PR everything they do. Every
document the United Nations comes up with is just a we agree
and recognizing that there's no there's a binding things that
come out of there, except the vetoes once in a while on the on
the what is it? The war committee, whatever they
whatever, church Security Council, the war council, but
otherwise, it's dates totally, and she's going to reign
supreme. You know what's gonna happen, just to be a dick about
it. These old boys at the United Nations like finally they sent
us a cute one after Samantha Power and by the way, why is it
predominantly women that we send there?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a good point. I mean, they've sent
Well, it's been all women. I just been Hillary was there for
a while. Let's let's lucky Haley, John Kerry, I think was
there let's look what was it? Oh, women.
Look at the list. Hayley,
Michelle Seisen. Briefly. Samantha Power, Rosemarie
DeCarlo Susan Rice. We have to go back to 2007
was this guy Xiao Mei? Oh, Kalasatama kala Zod. Ah,
there's something about a hell of an impact. Yeah, really.
Before that. There was just an acting guy then it was Bolton,
Bolton in 2005. For that, and Patterson. Then we had Danforth
negative, I'm going back in time. So really, you go back to
you have to go back to 1993 where we find Madeleine
Albright,
who wrote I guess she was the exception to the women's role
and now
Jean Kirkpatrick in 1919 81.
And that
was it the jet flies overhead
but the last 12345 You I think that it's time for a man this is
not diversity.
The biggest time for a trans Chinese man from the United
States, American Chinese. Come on. Why do you say that? Because
that we don't have today. I think it's all whites.
No, Susan Rice is not white.
Samantha Power's not white. She's a great man.
She's a she's a great she's a redhead.
She's a great I thought she was reptilian. Personally.
She's a ginger. She doesn't count.
All right, so anyway, the show the other guy they're putting in
is this Miley character, right? Like, as you say, let's do the
rundown is the Miley rundown on PBS at that Elsinore does
Mel H general marmalade to be the next chairman of the Joint
Chiefs.
So this is someone else that I'm gonna have to pull up a graphic
for. He is a four star general and the Army Chief of Staff. He
is a Special Forces officer. He was, um, he commanded troops in
Afghanistan and Iraq and Korea. And the people that I talked to
who know him very well say that he's someone who's very blunt.
He's someone that once he figures out that he's right, or
thinks that he's right, if someone's just gonna push for
his point of view, that of course, could mean that he gets
along with President Trump, who also is someone that's like
that, or that he could butt heads with the president
instantly. I'm also told that he really likes to deal with
troops, he likes to visit troops. I talked to someone who
spent time with him in Afghanistan, and he told me a
really funny anecdote. And that anecdote is that he went to
visit French troops for a French battalion, and they prepared by
gas, which are traditional French bread for him. And when
he fit into this bucket, his dentures got stuck in the bread.
And the troops were saying, Oh, my God, we're so embarrassed.
And he said, It's okay troops. I sometimes carry a spare pair of
teeth with me. So he's someone who's really down to earth and
who was beloved and in a lot of ways by troops, so he could he
could he could be someone who gets along with the President,
you
may need that sense of humor. So, riveting analysis Have the
war prowess of this man.
God, well, I think the connection is the false teeth.
Yeah. Trump. So they're all buddy, buddy. Like, how about
you? Did
they go? Like go to this? Go into
a room and like, Hey, bro, can we have us to do it? Oh, it's so
nice to talk with my dentist. No one else cuz that's a
pretty important one we can listen to Miley's to this we
played on the show by almost two years ago, Miley's report on the
world order and how it works in what we do and who how we fit
into the scheme of things as as as a country, I think it was one
of the best analysis is anyone's presented and it's right from
the horse's mouth, the guy who has to implement it. I think
this is extremely important. I recall us both talking about it.
And I'm happy to give it another whirl
or tomorrow talk about the army we have we have we don't have a
small army. And but the question on size of forces, Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marines, it's a relative question. It's not an
absolute question. It's a question of, What do you want it
to do? How big do you want it is relative to the tasks you want
it to do? The United States military is a global military.
And we have been for sure, since the First World War and with
absolute certainty since the Bretton Woods agreements of the
end of World War Two, which established essentially the
international order the rules and regimes by which the world
runs today. So for seven decades, the world has had a
certain set of rules sets, emphasizing things like free
trade, international commerce, things like democracy, the quote
unquote, liberal world order, things like human rights, and
there's a whole wide variety of other things out there. And then
you got institutions, that it rests upon the United Nations,
the World Bank, and World Trade Organization, all these things
that were developed many years ago. And that is essentially
what people very quickly referred to as the world order.
One of the significant roles of the United States military for
seven decades, has been to enforce that world order to
maintain it to maintain its stability. And that's in our
interest, because in the first half of the last century, there
was a bloodletting unlike any that had ever occurred in the
history of mankind. So between 1914 and 1945 100 million people
are slaughtered in the conduct of war. And that's a horrible,
horrible nightmare. My mother and father both served in that
war. My mother in the Navy and my father in the Marines, and he
at the beach at Iwo Jima were 7000 Marines were killed in 19
days 34,000 wounded 22,000 Japanese killed on an island
that was two miles by four miles. There were millions of
Chinese killed in belt battle and murdered. The if you are if
you want a real Trail of Tears, go to Eastern Europe and see
what happened in Belarusian, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, it's
horrific. Nine out of every 10 Jews that lived in Poland didn't
live didn't want to live in 1945. One out of every three
males that lived in the Ukraine or Belarus were dead by 1945.
It's a horrific picture that occurred. And those people who
were in leadership positions in 1945 said never again, we can't
keep doing this. This is insane. They said the same thing in
1815, at the Napoleonic Wars, and they set up the Concert of
Europe. And that worked well, for 100 years, for one century,
they kept the long peace in Europe. More or less, there were
a couple of minor flare ups, the Crimean War and the Bosnian war
and a few other wars. But there wasn't a continental wide war
until 1914. So we tried again in 1945, to set up a system that
would try to maintain global peace and prevent war between
great powers and great powers, states throughout the world,
that system is under stress, intense stress. Today, that
system is under stress from revolutionaries and terrorists
and guerrillas. It's under stress from nation states that
don't like the rules of the road that were written in one revise
those rules of the road. That system is under very intense
stress. And we're at 70 years now. And that system has
prevented great power or similar to what occurred in the first
half of the last century.
That before you continue with your your presentation, I would
like to play a clip that fits seamlessly with this, which is
why I'm happy you brought it. This is our tea with their
current version of what Russia this is them pushing back on the
nuke treaty, and what they view as the New World Order today,
it is time for change. Time for the old ways to die time for a
new, undisputed leader, a new American world order.
Our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reformed the liberal
international order. A central question that we face is that is
the question of whether the system as currently configured
because it exists today. And as the world is this today, doesn't
work doesn't work for all the people of the world,
the old ways out of date, the United Nations is useless,
incompetent, the IMF is obsolete, European Union,
pointless all these international organizations
unions, treaties and agreements, they only hinder America. They
tie its hands and cripple its power. The logic is sound.
Wouldn't we all be better off if we just let America rule
American tends to leave now, and always
the intermediate range Nuclear Forces Treaty, Russia is
violating it says America others aren't bound by it it Hubble's
limits limits the United States. And Washington's policy requires
it seems more nukes, bigger nukes, faster nukes.
One country in the world is bound by the INF Treaty us.
China is not bound by Iran has an extensive IRBM capability
that but we have global responsibilities in Asia and the
Middle East. We have to be responsive there to
international democracy has failed alliances have failed.
nations cannot tell right from wrong. Everyone wants us say but
why let them they no longer know what's good for them. America is
good for them.
This is what President Trump is doing. He is returning the
United States to its traditional central leadership role in the
world.
And so it seems we enter a new age, an age where might make
sense, right? without all the fluff and lip service to
partnerships and equality. The old world order is dead. Welcome
to a new American age.
I like those two back to back.
Well, what it shows is that there's a misunderstanding.
Because as the as Milley would say it was all part of the post
world war two Bretton Woods and other agreements that we were
taking this role on. And all we're doing is just reiterating
that because it was actually I think, somewhat weakened by
Obama
somewhat certainly weakened, we're putting the jackboot to
the head is what we're doing.
And so now we have to, we have to go strengthen it again.
Because again, it's like the idea is to keep from having 100
million people killed. Yeah, you know, within a just a decade or
two, which was what happened. What's happened that happened
before is is the nature of Europe. In general, they want to
fight each other.
And I've always thought that the the EU
experiment was just going to enable that again. But anyway,
he has a little bit of a finish on this part, too, doesn't it
say as much, but it's, it's not a bad rap.
Similar to what occurred in the first half of the last century?
So the question is, how big an army Do you want? How big of
Navy Do you want? Well, how much do you want that system? How
much do you value that system? Is that system worth preserving
or not? There in you get to the size and scope of your armies,
navies, Air Forces, and Marines. And rightly or wrongly, fairly
or unfairly, the role of the arbitrator of that system has
defaulted to the United States for seven decades. There are
other countries 60 or 70, or more so that have allied
themselves with their militaries to us. And they make significant
contributions. But it is the United States. It's been the
leader with that system. So the status of the army as part of
the military force that works to help maintain the stability of
the world. We're a global millet, we're global military,
and we're global army. And we've got right now today, about
180,000 soldiers in the United States Army active duty reserve
and National Guard deployed in about 140 countries around the
world.
Yes, we are number one.
So it remains to be seen how well this guy will get along
with Bolton, who seems to be just some sort of a
troublemaker. And even Trump who's always bitched about all
these soldiers we have stationed all over the place, although I
think he's softened his position on that. Yes. It'll be this is
going to be an interesting situation with this guy taking
being the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
I don't know what kind of decisions we'll make. We'll see.
I have no idea. You know, something listening to all this
Something just hit me about the true fallacy of the green New
Deal is because it's kind of that's kind of it just hit me.
Here's the so they are saying we're going to make the world
better. certainly the United States completely, we're gonna
take you off oil, so no more oil. And we're going to pay for
that by printing money through the Federal Reserve. That's what
they said, what's what she says in her green New Deal. The
problem is, if you get rid of all the oil, the dollar is no
longer needed.
Now this is a subversive, the whole green New Deal. And in
fact, the entire global warming propaganda that you mentioned
was foisted on the children. is an attempt to destroy the
country.
Yes, because if she actually thinks she can pay for this by
printing money for money that is no longer needed, because oil is
no longer in play.
Do we food get that hyperinflation we're looking for
as we know it, yes. I always thought she was subversive. And
I mean, the whole social the fact that they proud of the word
socialist within their, you know, the moniker Democrats
socialists of America, whatever they call themselves. It's a
it's just a, it's a subversive operation designed to kill the
country, reset everything. And it's
actually, you know, your your right to even reset the balance.
Everything these these guys just said would be gone. It will be
gone. We wouldn't have we wouldn't be important, which I
think is the plan. Don't be important.
Or as the millennials say important. Important. Important.
important. Important.
Yes. Schwarzenegger was out there. The it was in Poland now
where they do in the the new climate change thing?
Poland? Yeah, it's poles and Luke Berg in Poland, some small
town. Yeah, he was he was out there talking. Yeah, what does
he know? He knows a lot. dash dash.
Know that. You want to hear what he said? Or do you want to
continue with what you're doing? No, I
want to hear what he said.
Every time you talk about America. You're right when you
say that our leadership in Washington is a little bit
backwards. But you're wrong when you say that America dropped out
of the Paris Agreement. Because if you look a little bit beyond
Washington, you will see that it is the states in the cities,
there's local governments that control 70% of our emissions.
And you will see all the extraordinary work that is going
on in the state and city level in America. So the states in the
citizens still in bow in the Paris Agreement. Our financial
institutions are in then pay academic institutions are still
in the governors. And the mayors are still in. The United States
is still in. And they're doing an extraordinary job there.
They're staying in. Yes, we have a Michigan leader leader in
Washington. That is not in that is out. But remember that
America is more than just Washington. No one leader.
Now good old
Michigan. Yeah, I
throw in a little Yiddish there for us what the best quote he
had was during the q&a, and it's a little different audio is a
different mic, but you'll hear you'll hear what he if he really
if he really could do what he could do what he wanted to do he
do this.
I wish I could be the Terminator in real life, to be able to
travel back on time. And to stop all fossil fuels when they were
discovered.
Seriously, I'll be living in mud huts.
Yeah, he wish he could stop all fossil fuels before they were
discovered.
Yeah, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, what are you gonna
do?
Carbon higher than ever? Here's a PVS report has been higher
than ever. Yes, this
isn't kind of an agenda. 2030 year show,
there was word that global carbon emissions have reach
record new highs in 2018, rising the most in seven years. And
international scientific group, the Global Carbon Project makes
that projection based on figures from the US China, Europe and
India. The findings means some of the goals of the 2015
International Paris Climate Accord may be nearly out of
reach.
Not going to make it
desire to reach a lot of reach. We're gonna see what happens
when a die. Well you maybe improve things that DACA was
never ever anything good comes of anything,
you know, genes or gene. I had lunch with him and Dan Benjamin.
On Friday, the interesting little lunch Yeah, and
he had his producer with him Dan did does all the production for
his network there. And I don't know I kind of hung back on this
conversation just listen but gene was talking about the
dinosaurs were those that nurture you know that some of
the time they were talking about some Show where something was.
Maybe it was Jurassic Park 18. I don't know what they're talking
about. But Gene said, Gene genes are set up to jet genes, a
reptile guy, he's got the big snakes and everything. And it
was all about reptiles. He says, actually, the problem we have
today is we don't have enough carbon dioxide. He said, We
don't have enough we need in order to have more oxygen, which
could sustain dinosaurs, because their lungs are so big, there's
literally not enough, I'm paraphrasing. There's not enough
oxygen components in the air that we breathe to keep the
dinosaur alive. That's the difference with back when the
dinosaurs were around. Because the co2 levels were incredibly
high. Everything was incredibly green, and the earth was a great
place except for the dinosaurs. So his thesis is we need a lot
more of co2.
If we had more co2 We'd have it'd be greener.
Yeah, we'd have more trees and the trees give off. What does
that stuff? Oh, yeah. Oxygen. Yeah, yeah.
This is not an unknown thesis, by the way, just even presented
before I
say gene for climate czar is what I say.
Crank up the co2. Before
we go to a break. Just a quick note about our model, which is
the value for value model, we've always seen the way to run this
type of media experience as something valuable try to do a
bang up job create an outstanding product, and have
people participate in the product as producers. No one's a
listener, you're you're a producer, by contributing to the
product itself, but also by financing it. And we early on
saw or learned very quickly, that it's much smarter to say,
what is it worth to you send us that amount, and help people
understand the differences in or that what value of time is? Or
value of entertainment time spent? What kind of laughs did
you get? Or what did you learn? And that's worked well for us.
When this model started to spread, things came along that
intermediated this, this proposition, where we have
pretty much two ways, three ways you can contribute financially
to the show. One is through PayPal, which you can do with a
credit card or your PayPal account. The other one is
through checks. What's the PIO box again?
Yeah, you can send a check the box 339, l Cerritos, California
94530, you can rewind that if you want to hear it again. And
people like doing that. And there's and if you send a check,
sometimes you can send a little note or something like that most
of the checks do come through the banks, though. So people go
to a bank, or a credit union or one of the online payment
systems and then they sign up there and then they check his
mail from the bank. A lot of credit unions do this, or even
sometimes pop money, you can get money that way too. And that
goes to the post office babied live, it goes to the post office
box of piles of checks in that little envelope from a bank, or
a pop money goes straight into the bank itself. And that and
that comes out of a credit union to there's there's ways to do
it. And I'm always baffled by the fact that people aren't
doing it that way. And instead are using a third party to do
this, I will use Pay Pal is a third party. So you're almost
you're taking one removed from even that it doesn't really make
a lot of sense to me. And
this is what happened with Patreon. I think we said hey,
great idea. Love what you're doing love the transparency
aspect of it. And you know, we have our own transparency, we
get everyone's name and the amount that they donated. I
think that's pretty transparent. We publish that information. But
Patreon was putting a piece in between it as you say, and we
from the beginning said this is not a good idea. You also can't
receive checks. And it's just another place for you to get cut
off at the knees, which appears to have happened under the
control of MasterCard, who is their payment processor, and I'm
referring now to the D platforming from Patreon of Milo
Yan
INNOPOLIS. And he lives that there was
more than just him. I thought David D. platformed. About five
or six people. Or he did Alex Jones.
Oh, yes. No, there's several of them. But the reason and they
sent him an email the reason he was de platformed because of his
association with the proud boys. Yeah, so what and it doesn't
even specify a so I think it even says your association in
the past, with proud boys who had been falsely
calling large. I don't even I'm not even too familiar with them.
Well,
this is Gavin McInnes. This is the guy who started what does it
vice. Exactly. And, you know, they were very quickly by the
Southern Poverty Law Center who work with the FBI deemed as an
extremist group, although the FBI and that's been reprinted.
It's kind of like 97% of scientists agree that proud boys
are extremist group. They're racist, they're Nazis etc. I
think there's enough evidence to show there and then that they're
not. But I do want to go back almost a year to show you what
this kind of pressure and I'll say pressure. This also comes on
the heels of heels of the god, I'm sorry, the Pope, Tim Cook,
the pope of Silicon Valley. Make no mistake, he is the Pope.
Because you know you when, when you've got your app and your
Patreon app, and that's how people use Patreon, they use the
app. When that's on your iPhone and the App Store. You do not
want to get into trouble with the Pope with Pope cook. So you
have to do things you have to make sure it's obvious that
you're on board, so you don't get D platformed. That's what's
happening. Because here is the CEO of Patreon, just seven
months ago, speaking with us on The Rubin Report, Dave Rubin,
about the creators. And this is another thing that pisses me
off. What is this creators business? Yes, are creators on
the platform to eff off with your creators? That's what is it
creator? Yeah, it's a horrible moniker. Anyway, they had
nothing to worry about just seven months ago.
Not at all, because there were a couple of pretty terrible
articles written about me, that talked about Patreon as well.
Mother Jones wrote a really awful, libelous piece about me
further to the right than Breitbart. And they, by the way,
in both cases, mentioned Patreon. Yeah. So you're saying
that stuff has nothing to do, whether it gets across your desk
or not, has nothing to do with anything
that's not in our content policy, like what one particular
paper says about a person or someone's opinion about a
person, not in our content policy, you can't scale a system
based on other people's opinions about people on your platform,
that would be ineffective, and just bad content policy. So no,
I don't care who says what about you or anyone else? We care what
you do, right? We care what the behaviors are, that are or are
not against the content policy. And by the way, gosh, one thing
I feel like I just have to say I want to, like send this but
like, you're right. Like most creative like creators watching
this, you just don't have to worry about this shit. You just
don't have to worry about it. Like people like you and people,
most people who are like engaging in healthy dialogue and
talking about tough issues like this is just not something that
concerns most creators. And it like kills me a little bit that
there's this fear. You know, one of the things Sam Harris said in
in, in the podcast, we talked about leaving Patreon was like
this. There's this wave of deep platforming things. And I just
it kills me that there's that fear there. And it doesn't have
to be there for most creators.
Okay, creators, nothing to be afraid of creators. Gosh, wait
to bring Gosh, back. It's so cute. Gosh. Oh gosh, golly,
gosh, golly, gee.
Oh, gosh. Yeah.
Well, if you recall, when we when Patreon was first
introduced to the scene, we had a lot of people of our producers
on our Oh, yeah. of our show saying, Well, I don't know why
you're using Pay Pal. I don't know why you're doing this. You
could use paid you should use Patreon you should use patron.
And you know, even though people like Jen Briony, who knows how
to do all this without paid her, she even did Patreon as an
additional. And you could see it as you know, doing it some
additional thing you would Patron on there too. But we were
against it. Because it it was a I mean, Pay Pal has deep
platform people too. And that's always a risk. But but this is
like, this is patrons got to do seems to have more common sense
about it. It's about them making money. Yeah. And it's not about
a lot of others. And it's not this kind of this middleman, who
probably does a lot of the business through Patreon, too.
So why are we why would you use a middleman like this? And then
then you're at their beck and if we looked at the terms of
service, yeah. There was a lot of stuff in there that we didn't
like. There's nothing like that with Pay Pal. There's no Terms
of Service about what we do
there. It No, there is one thing you can't do.
But you can't disparage
PayPal. Oh, yes, PayPal does have a non disparagement clause,
which is fairly recent. Yeah. But you cannot say we actually
don't disparage PayPal, but I don't see any reason to
disparage them anyway, because we've had nothing but good luck
with them, even though I'll just have some complaints. But it's
beside the point. Patreon is is introduced as a system that
takes it it just doesn't make any sense to me. I would much
rather encourage people sending checks. Yes, yes. where there's
no dude, you know, the bank takes their, you know, a little
of a transfer or transaction fees. But patron does this and
then they have control of your operation we have with the Pay
Pal, and MailChimp, which is another operation as D platform
people. But we have the mailing lists, we have I get every
customer has ever paid us through PayPal, I have their
email and their home address. And I can get all that
information, what do I get from Patreon? And it's just I never
liked the idea this operation. No. And I don't see what it does
that you can't do yourself.
And you know, that's part of it. It's just laziness. I think this
is lazy.
And here's the other thing. And let me give you this, this is
one others, I really like Pay Pal. If you've noticed that
anyone who gets the newsletter will notice this, we have these
offers that change. And I changed the offers like
constantly. And it's a matter of a little snot, even coding, it's
Pay Pal does all this work to create new buttons. And so I
have like, probably four pages of I think there's 100 I think
we've added 400 different offers over the years. Some of them are
long gone, and we don't use them anymore, but they're still
there. And you can keep creating new ideas. And oh, let's do a
special because we have show 1100 coming up, which would be
our first show of the year 2019 will be show 1100. And I can do
a special whole series of special offers and like patron
doesn't give you any of that. Here's your goal here. Give us
some money. I mean, it's so simplistic Thank you cannot
leverage anything with Patreon. I really don't like this the way
they set up. It's just doesn't make any sense. If you're it'll
in the marketing in the least. It's just like you Why don't you
just throw away half your income because that's what you're doing
when you're using an operation. So that's
exactly right, exactly right. And again, I'm going to say that
this deep platforming ever since Pope Collins, Pope cook came out
and said, it's us. We're making technology only useful for good.
That was the moment and of course they were also the first
ones to D platform. Alex Jones, everybody went after that is
because they hold immense power with their app store. It is
because all the journals have iPhones, Adel, the elites have
iPhones, and you do not want to be deep platformed. So if you're
promoting a guy who was associated with the proud boys,
and you've already been de platformed from someplace once
and you're on Patreon, this guy is thinking holy crap, we got to
get him and anybody else off because otherwise the pope will
take us off the App Store. It's a cavalcade cascade of D
platforming.
And go so you think that Patreon is shaking it? Yes,
yes, of course they are. Their app is incredibly important to
their business they need to people use Patreon I think
through their app. I'm pretty sure you're probably right.
And you they can't have that association
really never understood why people wanted us to use it. But
I think it's because there's a certain kind of a will I'm on
page and let me click click I'll give these guys $5 In these guys
to $1 $1 to five $4 with them
in fact, and we we make donating hard. What's our donation euro
is it donate to no agenda? show.com Is it no agenda show
slash donate? No. It's DeVore act.org/in A it's the stupidest
marketing move we've ever made. But

Now before I go into the break, I did want to read this quick
note from Miranda regarding Tim Cook Pope cook I have two
degrees in English and writing I just want to comment on the deus
ex machina explanation by Tim Cook. And this was his you know,
the machine we built the machine and we are the God and the
machine we all of us Silicon Valley we are the gods I am the
pope of hellfire.
We're gonna get a literary definition Yes,
more accurate, much more accurate deus ex machina. To
clarify, the machines functioned to bring the gods as characters
to the stage at the end of the play to rescue the protagonist
of the play. However, what's interesting to me and what Pope
cook did not mention is the impossible situation the
protagonist was being rescued from was usually the violent
undoing or murder of all the supporting characters. It's
called the platforming now, one of the most famous examples in
Madea being rescued by Jason's chariot after she slaughtered
all of her children. I thought it was interesting and possibly
ironic that he was framing his analogy in a benevolent
benevolent light when the tradition usually revolves
around horrific acts and total destruction in the world in
which the play takes place. So will Apple be ultimately
resolved from their sins?
Think about it. Thank you, Miranda.

Yes. A couple of little just side things they got the Kevin
Hart just story which I think is funny.
It's funny in a very sad way. But now this is his tweets from
2009
where he was a lot of them I have a bunch of
my question is Were they funny in 2009 they might have been I
don't know if the word fag was funny back then or the or his
his role in the comedic realm made it okay for I'm sure is in
context. It was perfectly fine back then.
to I don't know if it was I do have the story of being bounced
and I do have a part of his gay bashing stand up routines. Yeah.
Which one first? Which is kind of what his tweets were like it
was pretty the standard routine seems pretty mild. I think Eddie
Murphy had more gay bashing material. Yeah, and in this guy,
but let's play the play the background so we get this. This
is a little What do you call it the real news segment, Kevin
Hart
and the host of this year's Oscars, Kevin Hart has stepped
down following public outcry over his past homophobic tweets.
Most were posted from 2009 to 2011. And some were deleted.
Last night the actor and comedian tweeted that he didn't
want to be a distraction. And he apologized for quote,
insensitive words from my past. Back to real artist,
so most of it would be I think most of his gay tweets or anti
gay tweets are just game. I don't know what to call them.
They're just snide comments. But this pretty much based on this
little segment from one of his stand up routines, which has
been reposted on most of the stories about this.
I got a lot of fears, man, I got a lot of fears as a parent will
tell you got one of my biggest fears. One of my biggest fears
is my son growing up and being gay. That's a fear. Keep in
mind, I'm not homophobic, I have nothing against gay people be
happy, do what you want to do. But me being a heterosexual
male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will. Now with
that being said, I don't know if I handled my son's first gay
moment correctly. Like every kid has a gay moment. Okay, every
kid but when it happens, you got to nip it in the bud. You got to
stop it right. Did that get it? Quick? I don't know. I don't
know if I handled my son situation. Right. Okay. He's at
a birthday party. Right? My son had a birthday party. He's
playing you know, when kids play, they just play. You don't
know what they're doing. But they're having a good time.
They're just doing a bunch of stuff. Right? moving them
around. I said, Okay, he's good. I finished talking. I turned
back around and check on my son again. A little boy was grinding
on my son.
Like this. I didn't know what to do. I panicked. I knocked the
boat down. What's going on here? What kind of party is this?
What's going on here? This lady
came out she's like, What are you doing a kids let them play?
I said will you showed me another key again, finance and
my son had on quarter ROI. That's what I had an attitude.
Because I didn't see it. I heard it. All I heard was
the whole is playing cards. What does that somebody shuffling
cards. Too young for spades here. The thing that pissed me
off is a pissed me off, man. I was eating the buffalo wing when
it happened. I should have dropped the wing and ran over
here. But I let my fingers first. I didn't mean it as a
Hey, boy. Black and became out.
Okay, Now contrast that just stay in that moment, not even 10
years ago. Contrast that with this piece about Joanna Olson.
She is from the Division of Adolescent Medicine at
Children's Hospital Los Angeles. And she does research on
transgender youth. And you will understand why Kevin Hart is not
hosting the Oscars.
The research that I do, in addition to the clinical work
that I do, is really involved with understanding what these
young people experienced. What is their experience as a young
person who doesn't feel like they were born in the body that
matches their internal sense of their gender. You know, there's
astounding rates of suicide attempts among trans youth. So
about 50% of trans youth have attempted suicide by the time
they're age 20. So this is a serious public health
implication. So for those young kids who are starting puberty
and have strong gender identities that don't match
their bodies, those young people can really benefit from not ever
going through the wrong puberty the first time. In older kids or
adults who have already gone through their endogenous
puberty, those young people have to go through a second puberty.
Well, we don't even like going through one puberty, frankly,
nobody really likes it the first time. So it's very hard for
them, it's much easier if we can help their puberty early on in
the process, and let them be suspended for a little bit and
then put them through the right puberty that corresponds to this
is what we do over in our program. If we get kids early
enough in the process, we put them on puberty blockers or
medications that actually keep their body from progressing
through the wrong puberty. They come in older, they may be
appropriate patients to go on to hormones that will allow them to
either feminized or masculinized their body, which gives them a
body that's much closer to their internal gender identity. And so
I'm really hoping that people understand there's lives in the
medical world, it recruiting necessitates for some people
medical intervention, and that's really important and it has to
stop being a political and religious issue, a mental health
issue, the mental health piece of it come From the way that the
outside world responds to these young people and adults as well,
with young people, that's who I understand. And I understand the
experiences and the trauma that they undergo because they don't
have an aligned gender identity and the rest of their body.
So without judging my guess,
without judging either one, I just want to show the contrast
between 10 years ago, Kevin Hart, making making that's a
that's a skit. It's a it's a written bid chick sticker stash
standard tweet and tweeting about that, at the same time,
and then was clearly okay. It was okay from Kevin at the time,
it was okay with Twitter at the time. And now, you see what is
happening, by the way, it's nothing the mental issues is
only comes after the fact to doctors seriously telling us
that it's a good idea to administer drugs to delay
puberty, so the child can go through the right puberty and
not the wrong puberty.
Is that was that that clip almost made me Ill give me a
clip of the day, by the way,
I'll take it I think it's deserved because it's insane.
Child abuse is what I would say. And I would say it's child
abuse. And it was it's also contradicts the idea that we're
all kind of the same, it doesn't make any difference to your man
or a woman. We're all equal, equal equal. So egalitarianism
would say what there was a make, what would you say? What's the
point of stopping the natural process? And just letting that
go through? Because at the at the end of the day, we're pretty
much all the same. And we just, you know, live with their
personality quirks. That's
what we're, that's what we're told. Yes. That's what we're
supposed to believe. Yes.
Yeah. Well, that's the kind of a change now. It's just an attempt
to see just more deep balling of the mail.
Daniel Amsterdam is seriously considering canceling the gay
canal Pride Parade. Why? Yeah, the Gay Pride canal Parade,
which is a big deal. Yeah, well, yeah.
Well, you know,
remember, these are the people who move the I Amsterdam sign?
Well,
you know, it's
getting a little out of hand. You know, it's a little it's a
little too much for the city. I think it's the gays. I think
that the there's something about the particularly white gay males
that are no longer fitting in the LGBTQ Q IAP K. Equation. I
think they're starting to be shunned. Yeah,
yeah. You've pointed this out before it was like a kind of a
subtext of the gay non community.
Yes, the actual the, the OG gays, the original gays, the gay
guys because you know, gay women gays were called lesbians that
whatever you call it doesn't matter if you're saying they're
being singled out the getting in trouble.
Taken away that party. Student Two
things I want to get out of the way because it's important.
Okay. One is the Huawei arrest we as
a unit. Let's do that right now, because I knew you were going to
be on it. Because you promised that in the newsletter and you
actually were which is fantastic.
Tell me all about no promise
more than I deliver usually,
but I've not focused on it.
Let's play this clip
at Chinese telecommunications executive is facing multiple
fraud charges in the United States for allegedly violating
US sanctions against Iran. Huawei, Chief Financial Officer,
mung Wan Jo was arrested on Saturday in Canada at the
request of the US today she appeared in a Vancouver court
for her bail, hearing, or arrest sparked fears of an escalation
in a trade war between the US and China. Huawei is the world's
largest supplier of phone and internet technology. US
intelligence agencies have accused the company of spying
for China. Okay.
I believe this was done by the deep state and against Trump's
wishes at you
know, it's interesting you say that that's exactly the first
thing I thought is this is to mock up whatever Trump is trying
to do with the with China.
Yeah. And this is the
daughter of the of the founder of the company. I mean, there's
all kinds of dimensions to it. And that and now you start
hearing from the mainstream media, she can get life in
prison. She's not gonna get a day in prison. She's gonna get
over there. They may find the company but this is just an
attempt to embarrass the administration. I'm Can I agree
with I totally agree. I think that's exactly what happened.
And it has to do with her
involvement in an operation in 2009. I believe she's not even
involved with anybody. This is this This is something of a
scam. But we'll see. I mean, nobody likes Huawei. So let's
start with that premise. So there's that element. Nobody
likes Huawei. They are considered dirty players that in
the telecom business, their whole idea is, and I've been
told this by people who have worked there. I got the same
story in Brazil for somebody who worked there. I got the story in
Europe from somebody at work. I got the story here. Here's the
way they do it. They got a couple of guys spying on
Ericsson. Right Ericsson goes into a company company Z and
makes an offer about some big telecom deal and then they
leave. Boom, the Huawei people go in and they say, What did
Ericsson what was their what was their price? We'll we'll cut it
in half. What did they would offer I will do what we did half
would do it for half the price. And that's their whole business
business model, which is following around Erickson
salesmen right. So they there's some belief that maybe they have
some backdoors but yeah, I don't actually do I actually don't
believe that I think people just IRQ for the fact that their
business model is so sleazy.
Well that isn't that kind of what China does, just in
general?
I think so. Yeah. But these guys are these guys are really good
at it I I ran into them once at a trade show way when they were
wall half away. They were right at the beginning and they were
creepy as a creepy operation. They were so secretive they
wouldn't talk to you know as they didn't like talking to the
news media's like they were doing something wrong. So they
have a guilty conscience. But they apparently make a nice
smartphone I think I'm the one I'm gonna get
my upgrade that's me
that's what all all the Europeans are buying Huawei
phones. They're really moving away from the iPhone least just
in the the general population the popular popular kind of
thing that's going on.
Yeah, well, it's a nice phone though, especially so they got
some nice colors of the cases is a really pretty phones very
metallic. It's a modern look. And it has all it's pretty close
to the Google model for the Android it doesn't have all the
extra features that kind of muck it up the way Samsung does it.
So just thinking about it.
That's the Huawei stars. I don't know where this is going but I
will follow it. Okay, excellent. Also, another story that got my
attention is the dawn Hewitt is now a creep CBS story that was
presented to us by NBC CBS, as far as I know, did not play this
story,
sexual misconduct and secrecy at CBS News, this time involving
the late Don Hewitt, the man behind 60 minutes, NBC News and
Thompson has the details.
Don Hewitt created 60 minutes Good evening, over 36 years
building a legacy of journalistic excellence ratings,
dominance, and now allegedly sexual harassment. The New York
Times reporting in the 90s, CBS settled with a female employee,
who claimed Hewitt sexually assaulted her several times and
ruined her career. This according to a draft
investigative report looking into CVS is culture. The
original settlement reports the paper was for $450,000 It's been
amended six times and now exceeds 5 million plus $75,000 a
year. She died in 2009. Why is CBS still paying this money?
Clearly CBS still wants to keep this woman quiet and the
payments that they've agreed to stretch until the end of her
life. CBS had
no response. Prosecutors reportedly saved the misconduct
of Hewitt successor Jeff Fager was less severe failure was
fired after sending a threatening text message to a
CBS News reporter covering allegations against him.
According to the Times Investigators say the firing was
justified. Figures said he was only demanding fairness in
coverage and regrets how we did it still unknown who will be the
next leader of CBS is legendary broadcasts and Thompson NBC News
New York.
Wow, what a hit piece. And what a great story. What a story gets
paid until the rest of her life is like the lotto ruined your
career. Who cares? Ruin mine, please? That's crazy. What I
wonder what happened that's 450 would
happen and I wonder who this is? And now the way they presented
the story. Find out we can because it's really
wasn't wasn't Hewitt. Didn't he kill the anti tobacco Story on
60 minutes? Wasn't that him?
I think it may have been him. Yeah.
What the heck
did he and why is this coming out? Now? What is the point
to do an NBC hit piece right now,
but they don't care about the victim who has been carefully
kept quiet and she's gotten her her due for sure. For her career
being ruined. She has income for the rest of her life. That means
I don't know what happened. I'm just going on On the fact sounds
like okay and then why why why are we going to do this just to
make CBS look like crap because they don't have a
Moonves is gone and Boone van Bucha
kickin CBS when they're down
well that's you might as well what am I saying? Be the only
shot shot yeah
way to go perfect oh yes it's so great knowing that neither of us
will ever be pulled into one of those scandals that much now we
have
