No one ever listens to my advice. Adam curry, John C.
Devorah. It's Thursday January 10 2019. This is your award
winning get my nation media assassination episode 1100 This
is no agenda. Live in the crackle free life and
broadcasting live from the capital the drone Star state
here in downtown Austin tea house in the clue do in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're fogged in I have
nothing to report in Jhansi Devorah. Kill
so much for our Zephyr timing then if you can't see it.
I can't see the mudflats either.
We could die from global warming could happen and not even know
it. I tell you, John, I have been watching the CNET ces
consumer electronics show coverage on my Pluto TV. By the
way, I love it Ludo this year CNET which I think is CBS
interactive, which is probably why they have all the Sony
people on all the time. Sure. It's super bad television. I
mean it's really amateurish is just it's it's incredibly crap.
But therefore so beautiful to watch. And I have to say it is
no wonder you are D platformed from PC Magazine over your 5g
article.
Is that all they're talking about? Without 5g We
will die
now this year, self driving vehicles are gonna have their
biggest presence ever at the Consumer Electronics Show, as
the futuristic concepts of years past come far closer to reality.
Part of that is because of the growth of the capabilities of
artificial intelligence. But we're also seeing the importance
of the nationwide rollout of 5g which is expected in the next
year. Now. multibillion dollar investments from 18 T Verizon
and others in 5g which is connectivity that's about 10
times faster broadband yes underlying platforms to connect
vehicles like these to each other as well to their
surroundings. Oh, we need this that enables them to be warned
about objects that their their lasers and radar and cameras
might not catch them.
WARNING WARNING 5g button here stay away
for Stopstopstop let me get this
I was waiting how long it would take for you want to jump in on
this. First of all, the growth of artificial intelligence is
just fabulous.
Well, besides all that, let's listen to this theory that she
has here. Or there's a premise that the cars will be talking to
each other and driving around by themselves. The five G and the
five G which is really just a methodology for moving data from
point A to point B is also apparently I did not know this
about 5g It's actually it's looking on the roads for for
obstructions and things that the car itself can't see
you because you have all these 5g spots all around you it's
kind of like virtual bumper cars. You know, like there's a
there's a dot Uber got to adjust whoop Oh yeah, that's it's
necessary it's the platform can't live without it.
To be warned about objects that their their lasers and radar
might not catch themselves, though. Analysis yesterday. That
was his work.
Hold on a second stop again. How does it do that?
Why do you question the magical 5g? You make it I'm gonna depart
from you from the show if you keep doing that. You see what
I'm getting that it's complete crap.
It's terrible that they're telling the public, but it's a
push pull mechanism. It's bad TV people aren't going to watch it.
Let's face so this. Is CBS a campus this I'm sorry,
this. I don't know how to hold on. This is actually a CNBC
report. This is actual television.
Oh, no.
It's actual TV. And you know who watches this? People go, Oh, 5g.
The listeners for 5g is the people are desperate. Silicon
Valley is desperate for this. And, in particular, Uber, Uber,
they cannot get investors to buy into their Ponzi scheme anymore.
They're losing money. A billion dollars a quarter. They know
that. Well, we're gonna have this drone flying Uber Oh, it'd
be great. Okay, fine. We're not investing in that. How about
your autonomous Well, we killed somebody but you know, then we
kind of
have to die. You know,
this is progress. But if when 5g happens, it will be beautiful
thing. So just invest in us and invest in 5g, your future is
secure or
in cameras might not catch themselves. Though Ford
announced just yesterday that starting in three years, it's
outfitting all of its new US models, not just autonomous
vehicles, with what's called cellular vehicle to everything.
Technology
cellular vehicle to everything technology. Let's see, do we
have an acronym? Cellular C VT, CV Tet? What is this bull?
That's the communication platform for self driving cars
that's built on top of 5g. It's
built on top 5g said for ladies and gentlemen listening to the
sound of our voices. This is bullcrap. Emily, it is
5g, beyond bullcrap. 5g
is still live. 5g is still in testing phases. It's still in
the testing phase at AT and T is is putting a little 5g logo on
your phone that'll pop up, you know, oh, it's fine. But it's
not it's not actual 5g. That takes. It's gonna take a while
to
roll this out. Like to know ask the question out there. Why does
it the FTC bust these guys for doing that? If it's not, we know
what 5g supposed to be. Kinda if you don't have 5g on your phone.
How can they tell you that as 5g? Yeah, which is just a lie.
I think they're now calling LTE M or something. I don't know
what it but it is a lie. And the bigger lies that these
automobiles due to the the incredible growth in artificial
intelligence and the rollout of 5g, which this platform will
build a bubble that is going to make this stuff safe and work.
It's not just not I mean, yeah, if you blanket the whole world
and every road possible with little 5g buttons that do maybe
send off some other sick I don't know, you know that I'm sure
they can detect that and guesstimate how but you know, is
that what's going to keep you on the road? Just learn how to
drive.
More fine, and more to just fine report. Well, I have more from
CTL says that 5g is going to help control the cars and hit so
no see objects? No, you can't see you
kind of got the gist of it. And again, this is this is what is
the focus is all about 5g for all these every one solution,
apparently, is 5g. And all those things, you know, trying to
show every CES show has a theme. They always do that. And it's
called in advance. They've you know, they What are you guys
going to do? We're going to do this. What are you guys going to
do? We're going to so every year if they was HDTV was one year
three D TV was one year that died?
Yeah. Oh, yes. Three? Yes. Yeah, that was a good one.
There's all these different little things. And fact even
before HDTV, there was the analog HDTV, which was a dead
duck. And there's other things that come and go but this is
this is the theme for this show. And they're going to be
promoting the heck out of it. And you see this Gary Shapiro is
on Twitter. So you literally get to five G it's coming. You know,
he's promoting the hell out of anything going on because he
runs the show and you know, it's all money in the bank for him,
he doesn't care. And it's just like going to this is gonna be a
dud.
I think it was five years ago, when I first introduced the no
agenda value network to the talking tube before anyone was
using it before there was any hype about it. And I'm pretty
sure I said at the time that this thing had an apple logo on
it people be losing their crap. And it was it took a good two
years before people caught on to it. Then it just went Superstorm
Sandy. And I jumped out I bailed because I you know, learning now
what this thing does and what I mean particularly what Evil Corp
knows about me, but it doesn't mean that the hype has stopped
at CES and we always have those fun reports.
One other story to tell you about as well has been
generating buzz on the CES show floor check out this smart
toilet from collates Alexa enabled cost $7,000 users can
control the toilets features with their voice, including
playing music, adjusting lighting, as well as checking
news and weather the toilet will be available later this year
doesn't heat and spray like Japanese toilets
with our best
either way too much. Keep it simple. Yes. I think you can
innovate in entertainment seat and entertainment from toilet
that is being our prep. Well done I'd rather do that the desk
that's
that's funny. me anyway. It's the same every year the show the
stupid things. And but I have to say it because it's so bad the
CNET coverage it's kind of fun to watch it just because it's so
bad. Um, you see, you see the whole cast of twit is on
eventually everyone's passing through and everyone thinks and
would and should and they know everything the best. All these
people have never even started a company ever. There was one I
think true innovation which again, you heard about on the no
agenda show months ago I would say how long have I had my
hearing aids half a year longer than At least six months six
months well wide x i have the wide X evokes I told you this
was coming and they announced it and we're showing it at the
Consumer Electronics Show senior vice
president marketing for white X USA and I'm delighted to be here
at CES because we have one of the most unique products that's
ever hit the hearing aid market. We've taken an energy cell and
put it inside of a hearing aid. Now this eliminates the needs
for in wearers to replace hearing aids or batteries in
their hearing aids and all they need to do is nested and this
simple recharger and in 20 seconds this hearing aid will
recharge and it will be good for 24 hours of use
Tell me tell me about this technology
how tell me how is that not a battery?
He said an energy cell What's that? I don't know. What's the
battery an energy cell and energy storage thing look I
don't know but 22nd rechargeable
batteries gotten the thing which is okay I guess that's kind of
different than most hearing aids which have those little hearing
aid batteries but right seems just like a some sort of lithium
is a good blow man.
But you know what it is this is this is actually go off in your
air here this is it's a trick it's really a trick now as a
hearing aid where I have to change my batteries every three
days because I stream a lot of Bluetooth to them but if I
didn't do that probably every four to five days. So how is
this really better? Even if it's 20 seconds I gotta have this
brick plugged into the wall near me with me at all times. Got to
have it around if it all of a sudden if it goes down and you
have to time it now now I'm thinking about how much longer
do I have instead of just having two batteries in my in my in my
jeans pocket?
Hold on here's the thing here's the thing. Now the thing that
would worry me is I go traveling I forget the damn brick leave it
that'd be the worst but then I just take the hearing aids out
and they unscrew them and put batteries in there I
don't know if that's a feature of this system what and and that
would be I don't know whatever they have in there and you you
kind of plug the device into this brick I don't think they
could still add a battery I mean yeah if you have you know like
to to Seattle I've got the latest hearing aid tech I got
like these huge you know can't hanging off my head but I don't
have to charge I don't have to put new batteries in it's great
man but it is kind of
what it CES is a junk show and when you really go to it and you
and I've been doing many a time you go to it and there's yeah
there's a few things you know Sony has a big fancy booths and
different major Silicon Valley companies may Apple doesn't may
or may not have a big fancy booze you know the big fancy
pretty girls roaming around and salespeople everywhere but most
of the show are these small booths from Taiwan and China
selling junk is Mo's you know pads you know just crazy junk is
junk is a junk show I had that's the most interesting stuff by
the way
I have a I do have someone from Widex contacted me been looking
to get in touch with him for a while so finally something
happened but I'm gonna ask about this energy so I have a feeling
it may be like hydrogen gas energy cell oh it's
didn't what would know then why would you have an induction
brick the induction break that you put the thing on it's just
that was when I was
discharged Oh no no no no, that's I'd never said that.
You're assuming that
no I listened to him I wasn't talking to you. You plug it
into this thing is a hole in it and you and you slip the thing
and so I don't know if it's an electrical connector or if it's
a connector from Cass I have no idea not for gas hydrogen baby
in my head in my ears. I'm a walking bomb that
anyway but that's beside the point.
Yes okay. That's our transition jingle
there you go that's a good one says that's what dogged about so
I got so I don't know if you want to go into a little deeper
thing right off the bat.
No, I'd like I'd like to err grievance right off the off the
bat.
I'm listening that our president
is a liar. I mean, and by the way, the most egregious lie he
told during his Oval Office speech was not even discussed by
the M five M. He's a liar.
This is a choice between right and wrong. You justice and
injustice. This is about whether we fulfill our sacred duty to
the American citizens we serve. When I took the oath of office,
I swore to protect our country.
No, you didn't. And more people than anywhere in the world saw
your inauguration, you took an oath to defend and uphold the
Constitution. You did not take an oath to protect the American
people. That is no one else notice bothers no one.
It bothers you to such an extreme that you make it up for
everybody. Nobody has to be concerned about this ever.
Because you you're on it, man, you're on it. And
when I took the oath of office, I swore to protect our country.
And that is what I will always do. So help me God. Thank you,
and good night.
No, I believe that I believe what he did, he's sincere. But
come on. Bringing the Constitution from time to time
it might help you in what you're trying to achieve. You want
me I'm going to read the oath of office. I do solemnly swear or
affirm that I will faithfully execute the office of the
President of the United States and will to the best of my
ability preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States.
And that's it so help me God.
Well, that's not on the official this show help me God. Thank you
can say that if you want.
That's it. That's the oath. Yeah. All right. That's the job.
It's not building a wall. Well, no,
that is not in the Constitution. Here
it is. Let me read this part of this. This so help me God
section says certain how many presidents use the Bible to add
to it? Or added the words those words are added does not in the
most, so help me God at the end of the O's. So it's just that's
an option? Yeah. Option one? Yes. I mean, Hillary had planned
on saying, so help me Satan,
that, let's take let's take, take this in, in chronological
order. I'll start I'll start us off. Lots
of attention from some of the President's critics and some in
the media when it comes to tonight's primetime address some
saying the President doesn't deserve a primetime time slot.
And also suggesting network should fact check in real time
his speech. Here's CNN analyst and former Clinton White House
press secretary Joe Lockhart,
let's listen to the Clinton she'll tell
us well, if I were a network executive, which I'm not, I
wouldn't put this online, I would let him give the address
and look at it and find out what's true, what's not. Or I'd
say, give me the text in advance. You know, you have a
president who's trying to create hysteria for his own political
purposes not to protect the American people.
So a couple things about this first of all, ridiculous Oh, do
we have to we have to protect people from what he says? We
have to fact check him in real time put it on a delay, which
nobody did? Of course not. And the second thing
is watch too much nobody would watch it. It was
known hours ahead of time. This is a nine minute speech and the
Democrats Chuck and Nancy they're going to get nine
minutes as well. I mean, I always wonder why why would you
even do this live just tape it I mean, they they knew was nine
minutes so I guess he's a really and it was to the tee nine
minutes or I guess he's a really really tight reader. They knew
that and he kept to his nine minutes. seem so on Trumpian is
I doubt this was even live quite honestly, I don't see why he'd
have to do it live.
Well, there's no reason but the thing that got me I thought was
the funniest part was having the Nancy and Schumer show because
it was like these two stooges
are way, way, way, way, way way. First of all, from a television
perspective to things who decided the top three things who
decided the shot, which should come from top from above looking
down on them? This is an incredibly stupid move. I think
I know why. It's like, oh, I look so short next to him. They
should have put her on an apple crate she should have had a
little rise. She should have had a riot full cray. No doubt about
it. Now whoever did their makeup should be shot should receive a
medal from the comedy Academy. Well, there's that however.
However, how can any anyone around these people look at them
and say, Great, hold on standard font of the camera. Let me look
at the shop. Great. Who who is in charge of that? Please
consider the curry Devorah Consulting Group. Because I
mean, they weren't even three minutes into this thing and the
memes were flying. It was great.
I couldn't produce a soupy sales. Exactly. I had these two
jokers up there. And they were just like Dears, they had a
headline first you had the grumpy old man or or, and then
you had Nancy who had the bug eyed Nancy. And they're going on
and on and She's licking her lips and trying to keep her
mouth moist. And then he comes on and says, I don't know what
he said. And it's just like it was so comedic. Do this the
Democrat Party because I'm asking the question any
Democrats listen to the show? Is that your representation? Those
two did the Great. Anybody that's presentable in the entire
party they could put up there
did the great Rob Reiner not sit at home and go, Wow, they need
some help. I'm a director. This is not the only
No, it was Rob Ryan.
You look great. Nance. Oh, man, horrible. Horrible. I mean, if I
if I took off my glasses, and I'm nearsighted. I mean, I could
almost imagine the faces turning into the more favorite movie.
Which is they live?
They live. I could almost see this look like gruesome aliens.
House. Fantastic, fantastic. But in general, week performance is
all round. I say. I
was it was a waste of time. And it was a distraction and didn't
accomplish anything. One way I think maybe it gives him the
inroads to call the National Emergency, which is going to
it's going to cause some some problems. So democracy now
covered this right off the bat. And then they brought a guest on
and I want to play these clips if unless you have something
there's really no no. There's a bunch of these because I got a
bunch of them. Yeah, too many clips. But it's but it's good
stuff. This guy William Arkin. He was in military intelligence
in the 70s. It became an NBC.
Oh, wait a minute. Yes. Yeah. This is the guy that recently
left NBC and quit, quit. He said, it's just too nutty. I
don't want to be around it. I'm gonna go write my books. He is
kind of a book guy more than anything.
Well, he was working for NBC as a reporter and correspondents
and one of the intelligence analysts for 35 years. Yeah. So
he did a lot of books. But he is apparently as fed up. So these
clips are interesting, because he really gets to the point of
what's wrong with the media and how they cover stuff and what we
kind of do. But he's, he kind of transcends it a little bit goes
a little meta. So let's listen to what he had to say and
democracy now because he actually goes after them, too.
And Amy got a little self conscious and got a little irked
by him, but William Arkin premise. Second, gotcha.
So you left NBC with this explosive memo that not only
indicts NBC, your networks as basically NBC, they might not
like this, but doesn't stand out among the crowd of corporate
networks and dealing with this issue of perpetual war.
Everything I said in this letter, which was a goodbye
letter to my colleagues at NBC, applies to all of the mainstream
networks applies to CNN and Fox as well. So I'm not really
singling out NBC, I was just most familiar with it. And my
decision not to renew my contract was really one of
thinking to myself that I wanted to stand back and think more
about what we needed to do in order to change our national
security policy. We've been at war now for 18 years. I don't
think anybody could argue that there's a country in the Middle
East that safer today than it was in 2001, the generals and
the National Security Leadership that runs the country, and now
also, as the commentators and the analysts who populate the
news media, really are not people who we can look to as
saying, while they won a war, they, they avoided a war they
achieved some magnificent objective. In fact, they are the
custodians and the architects of perpetual warfare. And it seemed
to me like there needed to be both a different voice and a
solution. And I want to step back myself and think about how
we can end this era of perpetual war, and how we can build some
real security both in the United States and abroad.
Well, this guy can't be a Democrat. How could a No wonder
he can't work for MSNBC? NBC, NBC is not pro war.
Well, there's that so let's listen to how he attacks this
situation. And in fact, he has some fantastic points. This is
not what this is the clip that follows that this is William arc
and ribbing de n for Trump coverage.
I'm wondering, in terms of your concerns about the coverage of
President Trump and of the Trump era and your concern about the
fixation and it really is an obsession almost of all of the
networks with covering him on it. No, not not just daily, but
an hourly, minute by minute basis.
Well, let me just say, I'm here at democracy now. And I
shouldn't bite the hand that feeds me. But you started your
broadcast today. I'm making fun of the President in his remarks
last night about the border. It's almost impossible to avoid.
Donald Trump runs a circus. Every day he gets up, he unzips
his pants, and we go, Oh, my God, what is he doing? And then
the next day he repeats, and we repeat. So I think that to some
degree, he sucks the oxygen out of the debate, he changes the
discourse. And we haven't figured out yet in the news
media, every part of the news media, how to get beyond that.
So I'm not arguing only about the mainstream. I think everyone
is stuck in the Donald Trump circus.
I mean, I have to take issue with us was saying making fun
because fun is the one word I wouldn't use. But yes, we did
focus on what he had to say. But the more the network's broadcast
directly what he has to say, this is the information that
gets out to the American people. And it is so critical to take on
each point in that case, for example, that immigrants commit
more crimes than not than natural born Americans, which
isn't true. And it's absolutely critical. Each time those
comments are made to counter them, but
just before you say anything, interesting how she says
immigrants versus natural born. So there's a couple things in
there one, there's an overt undertone of calling it racist.
And secondly, it's about illegal, illegal aliens, not
illegal aliens, not immigrants. So yeah, this is the Bible. This
is Watch. This
is a lefty meme. And she's she's a subscriber to it. And she gets
all all bent out of shape, because he calls her out for
running the story at all.
Well, you know, it's interesting, because I'm working
through an interview, a podcast that I found with an MSNBC
producer, who talks about all the stuff that goes on, but
he's, he's really approaching it from one angle, one angle, only,
it's money. The question is why? Or because whatever makes money
they're going to do. So it's, yeah, the media sucks, but the
people want it. The people crave it. We want junk. Just like when
the guy said he unzips his pants. I'm like, it'll be a good
show.
Would be holy mackerel.
Yes. Okay, what else? What else?
Got a couple more here. Let's try the best one. I'm gonna go
to the best one right now. And then we'll play some other ones
if you want to,
if you want to. Yeah, I do want to get back to the walk. So do
you have a couple other things?
Let's do William, arcing spooks as pundits clip our favorite.
So you talked about the people who populate the networks as
pundits. And you've been a fierce critic of the national
security Satan or at least understanding who it is who is
explaining things to us. Reading from Politico former CIA
Director John Brennan latest super spook, they said to be
reborn as a TV newsy. He just cashed in at NBC News as a
senior national security and intelligence analyst served as
first expert views on Meet the Press. The Brennan acquisition
seeks to elevate NBC to spook parody with CNN which employs
former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper,
former CIA director Michael Hayden has similar capacity.
Other lesser known national security veterans thrive under
TVs grow lights, almost too numerous to list they include
Chuck Rosenberg, former acting DEA administrator, Chief of
Staff for FBI Director James Comey and counselor to former
FBI Director Robert Mueller, Frank fig. Lucy, former chief of
FBI counterintelligence once wrapped a deputy national
security adviser under Bush and NBC friend Townson Homeland
Security Adviser under Bush, and it goes on and on and on. Yeah,
these are now the pundits. And so when you have a situation
like President Trump announcing he will immediately withdraw US
troops from Syria, and have the troops that are in Afghanistan,
you have this massive attack on him. And that's actually led by
the permanent national security state. Under the guise of
pundits on television, she
she makes it sound like it's a good thing, the permanent
national security state. Nice.
Well, I think that you've, I mean, what you said stands for
itself, Amy, but I would add that I think the real crisis is
that when we have a panel discussion on television, in the
mainstream press, and even in the mainstream newspapers, we
don't populate that panel with people who are in opposition. We
have a single war party in the United States and it's the only
one that is given voice. And so really, the crisis is not so
much that there are a have experienced government officials
speaking out. The problem is that there aren't critics who
are sitting next to them, saying that you're full of it. And so
to me, we need to balance that. And I think that, probably
because of the phenomenon of Donald Trump, let's just be
honest about it. A really what we see on TV now is former Obama
administration officials masquerading as analysts who are
nonpartisan, when in fact they are partisan, and in and indeed,
we see fewer retired generals and fewer retired admirals who
sometimes are useful in terms of explaining the profession of
arms and the conduct of military operations in favor of these
political figures who have a partisan view. I just don't
think the American public gets well served by the fact that
there isn't a broad range of opinions on those panels. I want
to see peaceniks. I want to see academics, I want to see
historians, I want them to as much have a voice in terms of
understanding what's going on. As I do see a former Obama
administration official, we have to break
Yeah, no, it's news. Alright, this you guys go nowhere.
And where's Stephen Cohen? What about a good example?
What do you mean? Well, he's
the guy that you would normally see on these things, telling
these guys that they're wrong. Oh, yeah, we can't get our
professor.
But see, this is what this guy doesn't see, because he's in the
milieu. And what we can clearly see. And I'll just say it again,
my opinion, the vocation of journalists is null and void,
you're no longer necessary. You're just adding noise and
opinion and bias to it. You need editors. Like we're like
editors, we're content routers, now. You have to do a little
picking and choosing routers. Yeah, that's, that's what's
needed. The experts are the ones listening to this very show. And
brands and feet. Wait. So my no about let me tell you, you know,
you have a trust relationship is better than frickin sources say,
this guy's not seeing it either. We are the future. This is just
too bad that we're old because we know. No metal at the end for
us. No Peabody in our future.
No, watch,
we get a Peabody. That's what you think I'm not so sure about
that. All right. The rest of these are minor. I mean, I would
like to just play the beginning of William Arkin. Three Oh,
okay. Because I don't remember what it is.
Let's get to the issue of who populates the network TV shows,
which is validating an issue you have criticized for so long and
investigated for so long the national security state?
Well, you know, I've been associated with television for
30 years, I've been a journalist for about the same period of
time, but it's not my background, my background was in
army intelligence. And then thereafter, I wrote books about
the military. And I was called upon to be a journalist, because
there was a desire on the part of the Los Angeles Times
Washington Post and NBC, to have experts helping people to
understand an incredibly complex issue, national security. In
those days when I started, we used to have civilian experts on
the air, people weren't former government officials, people who
weren't retired generals, people who might be university
professors, or activists who worked in non governmental
organizations or experts who were associated with think
tanks. Something happened post 911, something happened in this
intervening years, in which those people but virtually
disappeared from the airwaves. And we don't see as many anymore
and in fact, we increasingly see journalists who are the
commentators on what's going on. Now, that's a tricky position,
because journalists are supposed to be unbiased. But also at the
same time, they're supposed to be explaining to the public,
what's going on with inside information. But the end result
of it is that we become shallower and shallower in our
coverage, and particularly in an area like national security,
we've just become so shallow, that we're not really able even
to see the truth, which is that we're at war right now in nine
countries around the world where were bombing, and we hardly
report any of it on a day to day basis.
Exactly. Yeah, I can't disagree with anything he says.
I can't either and we are trying to do we do our part. I want to
go back to the report on these wars. Nobody else Yeah, well,
yeah. But again, you know, we don't go to foreign sources we
have to podcasts nowadays have seem to have more good guys on
it than anybody but also
we have boots on the ground. We have a lot of boots on the
ground boots on the ground and this works.
Yeah, but you can't start off that way.
I so so I can see I can see the vocation of journalists no
longer existing. I can see it. People are not stupid by the
way. Even the stupid people can figure out the stupid things
they need to know. Now also stupid is the president. And
here's what I don't understand. I want I have some advice for
him. I have some advice for the Democrats. I I'm baffled why
this multimedia tweeting President didn't take because I
think this would have I mean, it's it will be out there. But
I, I would have definitely suggested as an option. Why
don't you Why don't you just say, Oh, I'm here in the Oval
Office. I got my YouTube up. Let me see. Oh, and we've got some
old clips here of Chuck and some old of Nancy and some old
Baroque. I agree with this. 100%. And then where are you
going? Because there's been a couple of compilations going
around. And it shows Chuck at shows Nancy, it shows Feinstein
all going on and on and on about how we need a wall.
And here is college reform. I love what these guys do. They
went to the American University in DC, and asked people about
the border wall specifically read them quotes, told them that
these were quotes from Trump, but they were quotes from
Schumer, Obama and Pelosi. I'm going
to read a few quotes here from President Trump talking about
the need for the southern border wall. First, quote, we should
spend money to build a barrier to prevent illegal immigrants
from coming in another quote, we simply cannot allow people to
pour into the US undetected, undocumented, unchecked Well,
illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. Until the
American people are convinced we will stop future flows of
illegal immigration, we'll make no progress. When you hear
quotes like that. What's your reaction to them?
It's divisive. I think America is a land of opportunity place
for inclusion. I just really
think it's kind of hateful speech in general.
It's a negative message like all these when he talks about like
illegal immigrants. It's just one rude like to talk about
people like that kind
of underlies a lot of things about like discrimination and
people in their prejudice, prejudices and things like that.
So I feel like that's not this touchy to talk about. There are
racial biases kind of sort of deep embedded in there. In a
word, I'd say it's more jingoist,
but I think his demeanor its overall, it's just unacceptable.
I think just the way that he's referring to people across the
wall is very
dehumanizing. So rhetoric like that.
It's not helpful. No, not at all. What if I told you these
were from Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? About
that? Really, really? Oh, wow.
I, I mean, yeah, Democrats and Republicans have said things
about border control.
That's interesting. I didn't think that's, that's
interesting.
That would surprise me. It's true. Well, then, do
you tell me which ones they were respectively but that's a that's
a very good surprise. By the way. If this were a Trump quote,
I
believe it would be a lot more be a lot less calculated. I
don't know. They just they wouldn't say like, save it. Like
they did.
I did. Like their demeanor is like the way they come off is
like even though
Yeah, yeah. kind of shocking. But even as your
there's your your dumb fuck millennials.
Well, what I what I like about it, because I've watched a lot
of these college reform YouTube videos, you know, to get a
sense, I mean, yes, edited man on the street. You know, they
can they can make that very biased, but Oh, yeah. But I, I
think that's a pretty
that's not at that was not as tricky one is, as some of them.
No, it's just straightforward, right? dumbfuck millennials, I'm
talking about people that do not listen to our show, of course,
because we have some smart millennials that we do.
And, and it's the responses they gave where it's a little
different than because they always get surprised. It's
always kind of the same Gambit. It's the same formula that these
videos adhere to. But I think they were really like, holy
shit. Really, someone's that's all the President really had to
do. I mean, just say, No,
I am totally just reminds me of the 92 election with Ross Perot.
Ross Perot would buy a bunch of airtime. And then he'd go on
with a with a short with a shot of him behind a desk,
whiteboard, a little black, little whiteboard. And he has
some details, some diagrams on it. And he says, here's what's
gonna happen. And he showed a diagram. And he showed these
things. Your chicken pluckers. He had something to do with
that. Oh, yeah. Remember the chicken. And he pointed this
little tool that he put a board in mood and he said, Look at
this. And he showed diagrams, and he would simplify his points
using these diagrams. And I always thought that would Why
doesn't anyone else do this? It was genius. I think it got him a
lot of votes. Trump does nothing like that and you're right and
the point that you may, which is the real point. Here's Mr. Twit,
Twitter, I'm sorry, Mr. Twitter, Mr. of, you know, new, it gets
up in tweets. And he's, you know, new media guy. No, he's
not. If he's a new media guy, he'd have some heat show some,
some multimedia, maybe some video shows show, Schumer and
Pelosi going on and out how we need a wall because there those
clips are out there. There's all kinds of clips out there that he
could just exploit. But he doesn't. I don't get it. I
haven't grown with you. I don't get it. I don't know why he
doesn't do that.
Maybe he's saving it for later.
I don't know how to saving it.
Now, here's my tip for the Democrats, they can do exactly
the same. And this is President Trump at a graduation speech.
And I would say Rachel Maddow could probably have fun with
this one as well. And it baffles me that no one is using this
ever give up. Don't give up. Don't allow it to happen. If
there's a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go over
go around. But get to the other side of that wall.
I'm just saying. It's a beautiful clip.
play that clip in Mexico.
No one ever listens to my advice. No one ever listens.
Now, I I think the best response really the best Democratic
response was not from Chuck and Nancy. It was from AOC, who made
her very first appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show, I might say
with very zero pushback, completely friendly. She also
read the talking points beautifully. So she was reading
and she was prepared to be on board with you know, as I was
watching that, I just can't help but think Well, let me step back
a second. You know, the keeper and I have been analyzing AOC
for a while. And the keepers job, you know, Chief Marketing
Officer at Ron mcdonald house. She is an expert in social media
writing for social media. She she has a team, you know, she
has multiple people, you know, she knows a lot how this works
and what works and and how you write. And she is convinced and
she's convinced me that Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is not
writing her own tweets, the difference between how she
speaks? And, you know, it's it's I don't I don't think that you
can put any science on it. I'm curious what you think, John,
because you, of course, are also a writer and also social media
writer. But also,
I convinced that I, most celebrities, especially
Hollywood celebrities, we know, pretty much know that they don't
do their own tweets. I mean, maybe James Woods does. But most
people don't they have a pet public relations person that's
got a very strong grip on their whole on their presentation to
the public. And so they do the tweeting, they do all this
stuff. In that regard. I would not be a bit surprised. And I've
had to now that you mentioned it, I'd be surprised if she did
her own tweeting. And was the public relations people that can
do that kind of thing. And they know how to tweet that
specialists. They can tweet, and good, good. I do believe Trump,
I do believe Do you believe that Trump does his own? Because he
has the errors in there? Because when you tweet and you're
throwing off tweets, his Archie's spelled out so
yeah, so precisely what how does it work? AOC says something
boneheaded. Now, and it's usually a technicality. Not
dissimilar to the President saying he, he took an oath to
protect the country, that you know, those kinds of big, big,
big mistakes that just shouldn't make in your position. And then
the correction always follows on Twitter. And then she and then
if she if someone refers to it later, she's Oh, yeah, no, but
no, I went back and I corrected it. And I tweeted the right
thing, and you know, I make mistakes. So she, she makes her
anyway, she uses the manufactured crisis talking
point, but also just looking at I'm thinking, Hillary is so
quiet. It couldn't be in any crazy sense of my imagination
that this uma Aberdeen lookalike is maybe somehow controlled by
Hillary Clinton people.
Well, you know, I know you're going to sit as you mentioned,
you might want to say that Hillary Clinton people who do
tweeting for Hillary possibly doing tweeting for her,
we should we should compare those interesting, well, you
know, that you'd
have to compare like 100 of them because you can't really do a
good a deep analysis of writing styles unless you have a big
sample, but you
know what I mean? I mean, I think that Hillary probably all
you know, Hillary with with uma and with Anthony Weiner, but
also you know, They were supposed to be the hot up and
coming couple you know, it's like didn't Bill Clinton New
York New York officiate their wedding? You know, she was the
Hillary's body man as they call it in, in Washington DC. That,
you know, of course, it's rumored that they're, you know
they have an affair, but it doesn't really matter. It's
because it if you look at it, this is AOC is Uma Aberdeen,
without all the baggage.
In fact, she's in New York. Oh, with vignette to Hillary
and all we Interborough. And all we have as well, she was a
waitress in a cocktail bar that much is true
as nuns Yeah, well, that's true, but it's still who cares, it's,
and they put a machine together and they got door to door, I
don't know how much I would like to know, we don't probably have
anybody in that borough that listens to the show. But if
anybody did, I like know if AOC went door to door, or if it was
a machine that went door to door, which is you know, the
gears that you put together, if you're if you know how to do it.
I mean, there's
nothing like showing your shoe that's worn out, there's a hole
in your shoe. I mean, the backstories is just put together
pretty well. Yeah, and very professionally done. It's
professionally done. And I think she is a massive force to be
reckoned with. But right now she's kind of sliding in to the
establishment with Rachel Maddow. And this is I just have
two clips of this. But we have to listen to both. Let's check
the first one out,
we can even get laptops in the hands of our district offices,
because the President has decided to hold the the
paychecks of everyday Americans hostage so that he can fulfill a
campaign. I don't even I don't even want to call it a promise a
campaign fantasy that the vast majority of Americans disapprove
of. And not only that, but in in the actual address, there was
falsehood after falsehood. And we have to make sure that we get
our facts straight. Every day, immigrants commit crimes at a
far lower rate than native born Americans.
So here's the talking point. I'm very disturbed by this by this
talking point, then, and also, let's just hear exactly what she
said here.
Straight every day, immigrants commit crimes at a far lower
rate than native born Americans.
So she didn't say, I think we already pointed this out. She
didn't say the same thing. Amy said exactly the same immigrants
not worry. Yes, word for word, not illegal aliens. It was
immigrants. Yeah. And
by the way, I should mention this. This talking point came up
a long time ago. I think during the even during the campaign,
that just an exact talking point with the exact wordage done
exactly the same way slipped in. And then it kind of disappeared.
It's a false.
It's a false hood. Anyway,
bullcrap meme is not even. I mean, it's beside the point.
Yes.
What's the consequence of having somebody as president who's made
this?
I'm sorry, wrong one. And not
only that, but the women and children on that border that are
trying to seek refuge and seek opportunity in the United States
of America with nothing but the shirt on their backs are acting
more American than any person who seeks to keep them out ever
will be.
I'm not sure why that bothers me what you said there, but
it does. Well, a couple of things. Also, they did, she
mentioned it with just the shirts on their back and a
sorrows credit card.
She mentioned it was in the shirt pocket,
shut up. Nothing but the shirt on their backs are acting more
American than any person who seeks to keep them out ever will
be
okay. So well, that's just an opinion. Now, here's the longer
second clip, the only second one I have. But we really need to
listen to what she's saying in here. Because she also shows the
true democratic social democratic socialists of America
vibe, is we want people to come in. They should be able to come
in with it just come in. Because we want them to serve us. If you
will hear I mean, I can't hear it any other way than she is
just racist. She feels there's no American dream. This is what
I'm missing. Where's where's the American dream? You come here,
you want to look at the Rolls Royce and say, I can be that
guy. All I have to do is work really hard and, you know, put
my nose down to the I got to I got to go to the grind wheel. I
got to do it. It's not there anymore. It's just you come on
in and be my slave.
What's the consequence of having somebody as president who has
made this core to his message and to what he wants his
presidency to mean? What is the harm that's caused by him
talking this way and using the sort of platform the way he has,
even when he can't get his policies passed?
I can I can tell you a very personal story and as as many
people know, I will was working in restaurants just a year ago.
And when the President first assumed office with his with his
racist and violent rhetoric,
racist and violent, violent rhetoric, that's a new one.
Yeah, I haven't heard the violent rhetoric.
People started to send themselves home,
send themselves home. This is a very interesting term that she
uses a couple of times, people started to send themselves home.
And although it took me it conjures up an image of getting
into UPS box, you know, like, you know, leaving a little hole
to call the guy and then close it up slapping the sticker on
top. Yeah, I think she means self deportation.
Yeah, that's what she means.
And as we know, in restaurants, hospitality, every American
eats, if you can, if you're, if you're, if you're lucky enough,
we're able to eat three times a day. And that means that we
interact with the people who prepare our food three times a
day.
Okay, so just so you know, illegal aliens prepare your food
three times a day. That's what they do. When
those people start to go home, local, or rather go back to the
countries which they originated from, because many of them
consider the United States their home. Those places they go into
dysfunction. I remember one of our lead cooks brought himself
back to Mexico because he was so scared brought him
this is so interesting, brought himself back to Mexico. Helped
me Why is she Why is she using this tense. And this there's a
reason for it. There's a reason she's been by the way, she's
still being trained. Yes, I who? I don't know. But there's
obviously there's a reason for it. We need that linguistics guy
that we used to fall back on who I think is now your sworn enemy
or so remember that guy that was sworn enemy? Your buddy that
used to be in Austin, it was a linguistics expert. And he could
he's the one who pointed out that some of these anomalies and
speech patterns and performative and all that
oh, the professor. Yeah, the professor won't talk to me.
Yeah, he's he moved to Stanford easy. He's a big he's all in for
Obama hates Trump, and he won't talk to you anymore. Oh, no,
no, he hates me. He thinks I'm a racist, Republican. Yeah. Yeah,
for sure. And I have white privilege need to shut up
the President's rhetoric. We had an insane amount of dysfunction.
We're talking about local restaurants. We're talking about
local businesses. We're talking about shuttering neighborhoods.
And we're talking about people feeling unsafe, and no one
should feel unsafe in the United States of America. And that
includes our our amazing and beautiful and productive
immigrant community.
Again, immigrant. So what is he talking about? Are these illegal
illegal aliens or immigrants, so they
this has been going on for a while trying to confuse the
public by mixing two terms illegal alien and immigrant, the
equal each other, you're trying to make it sat make us make it
the same make it even though they're not the same. There are
people that have come to this country from Mexico and
elsewhere. Many of them work in restaurants. And they came
legally and they've got their green card, and then eventually
they get their citizenship. They went through a process. And then
there's a bunch of people who just snuck across the border,
and they're taking jobs away from these other people because
they're working a little cheaper, or maybe, maybe not.
But the point is, is that they're trying to conflate which
is probably the wrong word. The two terms. So you think oh,
yeah, immigrant immigrant is good. It's just this is the
socialist borderline communist training. She's going through
Rachel's all in on it, you know, she doesn't question any of
this. Obviously, she's a complete stooge. But it's
disgusting.
Pennebaker Professor Pennebaker was, was our linguistics guy who
hates me now that my stunt brain informed me
and moreover, the one thing that the President has not talked
about is the fact that he has systematically engaged in the
violation of international human rights borders, on human rights
on our border.
Do you think he was reading maybe or just the word she had?
Because that was an interesting mess up. That felt like a
teleprompter flub, like it was
like, did you see or look at you see if she was looking at a
prompt? I don't think so. She's rehearsed all this stuff. It's
in her head. They've gone over it a few times. You gotta say
this. You gotta say, oh, no, no, no, don't use that word. Use
this word. Okay. And so you get together all keyed up, and she
then she flubs? One of the rehearse points, right. I'd like
to hear it again, because there may be some revelation in the
flub. Fool and productive
immigrant community. And moreover, the one thing that the
President has not talked about is the fact that he has
systematically engaged in the violation of international human
rights borders on human rights. On our border, he has separated
children from their families. He talked about what happened the
day after Christmas, on the day of Christmas, a child died in
ICE custody, the president should not be asking for more
money to an agency that has systematically violated human
rights. The president should be really defending why we are
funding such an agency at all. Because right now, what we are
seeing is death. Right now, what we are seeing is the violation
of human rights, these children and these families are being
held in what are called yellow letters, which are basically
freezing boxes that no person should be maintained in for any
amount of time, let alone the amount of time that they're
being kept on.
This is also new. It's I've heard this a couple times, the
freezing boxes. Yeah, new talking point, which I'm not
quite sure what it is, I don't really care. But I think
we should look into because if she says that, that means it's
part of a bigger
and more over even if you are anti immigrant, she
also likes using this more over now I know
she said more over about three times so far. She emphasized it
when she does she doesn't say meanwhile, and in addition to
there's a million things you can say instead of Moreover,
moreover, moreover,
it doesn't sound like a Bronx thing. And yet,
exactly. It also sounds it sounds staged sounds rehearsed.
It sounds like somebody told her to say that
time wasn't over well, in the amount of time that they're
being kept on. And more over even if you are anti immigrant
in this country, the majority of immigrant overstays the majority
of the reason that people are undocumented is visa overstay.
It's not because people are crossing a border illegally. It
is it is because of visa overstay, wait,
let's just just and this is something that is also used in
an interesting way. Because I know a lot about it, I've helped
multiple people become legal green card holders in the United
States. And what she's saying is visa overstay, which means you
lied came in you said, I'm just here visiting, unless you had a
work visa, at which point you also have a responsibility and a
date to leave. There's all kinds of different visas, I think, in
general tourist visas have been abused for this. And she's
making it sound like to how they were led in and that, you know,
just like kind of like your driver's license lapse, you
know, it's like, you might get a ticket. But no, that's not
exactly true. It's mind
you. He's talking about legal immigration, he's trying to
restrict every form of legal immigration there is in the
United States. He's fighting against family reunification,
he's fighting against the diversity visa lottery, he's
fighting against almost every way that people can actually
legally enter this country, forcing them to become
undocumented. And then he's trying to attack their
undocumented status. This is systematic, it is wrong, and it
is anti American. And again, those women and children trying
to come here with nothing but the shirts on their back to
create an opportunity and to provide for this nation. More in
an American tradition than this President is right? Yes, right.
We need more people to provide for us to serve us. Ah, we need
a new class.
Restaurant help.
She's gonna be great in 2020.
I don't think so. I know. I
know. You don't.
She hasn't got the chops. She will. I don't think she's smart
enough to get the chops. That's what I mean. I can I know what
you're saying when you say she will? Because yeah, you rehearse
somebody, and she gets slicker and slicker. But no, she's not
that bright. And she's Can't you know, she Floridi flubbed in
that bed. And she keeps saying, moreover, she's not that bright,
and she and if somebody's not that bright, you can only go so
far with them, and they'll drop her like a hot potato of some
other multi cozy looking woman with big eyes and big smile.
Okay.
All right, hold on, hold on a second. Hold on, you're saying
if another another, what would that other one have to have over
her that would all of a sudden displace AOC
brains.
All right, this is just this is this. It's like a call back to
when I said Trump is going to go all the way. And you were like,
you know, go Jeb Bush.
I never wanted Jeb Bush No,
but you said Jeb Bush would win.
I think at some moment in time, I don't make
me play the clip again. We this is fact
I'm not denying it. I said that you know because I was seeing
the way things were going and it looked like they were gay. I
thought the media was gonna gang up on Trump to such an extreme
that they would get bush to run and lose to Hillary because the
whole idea was to get Hillary in right and so looking at the
scheme was looking over the fact that I identified this scheme
and and identified it properly doesn't mean I'm a schmuck
you're missing this scheme this is much bigger than we then we
can see at this point I think I think she's very it
was a scheme be a foot yes behind Anthony wiener as you
recall. Oh, yeah. By the way, didn't work out now. Did it?
Why the way But what this situation really needs because
where we are now is we're arguing. This is just a
cockfight. Basically, what we need now is a good old fashioned
false flag, you know, that's the American way. We need something
to happen down at that border that convinces everybody row,
this is what we got to do. Whereas that days of Obama and
Bush, man, we did things differently.
Well, I don't know that it was the differences is that Obama
and Bush both were part of the intelligence machinery, and
Trump isn't. And so he can't initiate these sorts of things
did correct. But the Democrats could? That I think that's kind
of my point.
Yeah, good.
To wrap this up, throughout this up, I'm going to make a
prediction for so I got this quick clip, just because I want
to have it on record of Whoopi, who is either not being read
into AOC, or I'm not quite maybe she's Republic handler, or will
be sit still for
a minute and learn a job. And, you know, and just, you know,
because there are people in that party who have been working
their tails off, or they know, they know a lot, and they know a
lot. And you could learn some stuff from them. And I just feel
like you know, you don't have to be born into it. You don't have
to know it when you step out. But before you start pooping on
people and what they've done, you got to do something to
stop pooping on people. Very nice. So that will kind of make
sense to get a memo was no, it was she would be anti Hillary.
They see Whoopi does not like Hillary doesn't want Hillary.
She's in that camp. And that just gives me more kind of
feeling that this is somehow a Hillary type puppeteer thing. It
could be I could be completely wrong. It's just It's my theory
du jour. But here's what's going to happen. The Democrats will
indeed make some concessions with the President. And there
will be some form of barrier and he will tout that as a huge
victory. And I'm going to tell you why this is going to happen.
Because the cracks are showing we have Cher tweeting Nancy,
don't die on this hill. He stops at nothing. You're a hero, but
let this one go. That's Share, share saying let him have this
one. Here's the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, you realize
there were all these flaws in America that nobody ever noticed
before he showed up? And then all of a sudden, it was like,
oh, bam. Oh, wow. What does that hold the President? The
President doesn't have to show his tax returns. Oh, and the
prison doesn't have to divest from his businesses and, and
holy shit, he, he might be able to pardon himself. That's crazy.
And so now thanks to Trump. Thanks for Trump. We've learned
that during a national emergency, a president can do
way more than just build a wall, shut down your internet, send
the troops and get to control the country. So if I'm the
Democrats, I would give trump the wall before he finds out
what he can really do. I know it sounds crazy, but think about it
right now. He's like the baby from The Incredibles. Right? He
only knows that he can float. We do not want him finding out that
he can shoot lasers out of his eyes.
Now, I don't know if this is coordinated, if it's simply a
talking point, if this is happening individually, but I'm
noticing it. And I think we'll see more of this.
Well, let's well. Beginning with that thesis, I think we should
at least try to figure out why this would be happening. If it
was a talking point they went in there bringing into play to
hear well as a
reason to bring it into play. And is it is it that we reach
these people? You really do want a wall? I mean, Nancy and
Schumer used to want one? Do we want to just give him the wall
and let them screw it up? Or
Nancy painted herself into the corner with the it's immoral.
And so they needed to get away out of that? Because she
hammered that so hard. And I think that's that's the problem.
And I have a feeling that there's pressure people saying
you know, this is actually a problem. And by the way back in
the Baroque days, we'd have a good old fashioned false flag.
So let's do something about this before this nutjob does
something
could be signaling for a false flag.
Please God forbid I despite it is our American way but I
despise it.
Yeah, because it always turns up with a with dead people. People
because they can't do a real well. There's always dead
people.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you John C. The C stands for share Devorah ACK
Linda morning to you Mr. And McCurry also in the morning to
all boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water. And
all the days and nights out there
in the morning to the troll room. Hey trolls love having you
here. My troll Ramas would you troll poles out and battling
each other over the head? That's no agenda stream.com And we you
can follow along live listen to the show. Troll away. Also in
the morning to Darren O'Neill second time in a row. He's on
his way to another hattrick this was the artwork for 1101 the
title that was tippy top. And this was the gasoline sign with
low prices. And then Trump's got talent. It was kind of a
compilation piece of little memes that occurred in the show.
It's hard to explain why that one was the best. And you had
something to say about the monitors.
Oh yes, we this is according to a warning.
This is a D notice. D notice
to Darren, you will not get your hat trick or because we're now
expunging the use of pod father and cranky geek. Yeah, as the
moniker says crackpot and buzzkill that was the that's our
thematic monikers and the other ones which have come and gone
and wouldn't that once in a while out of the blue, there's
something that's funny, we'd like it, it'll win a
competition, but the consistent use of your own designation,
which is done it is yours, because you do it all the time,
is now verboten.
Otherwise, thank you very much.
I really appreciate you trying to level the playing field.
Really, really appreciate it that Darren and of course, we
thank all of our artists who diligently submit artwork at no
agenda, art generator.com. They put that in for value. And it's
of course incredibly valuable, not just for us, but we have
also in the network, we've got no agenda, no to the shop.com. A
lot of these pieces lined up over there, and artists make
money. And it's a it's a beautiful thing. No agenda, our
trainer generator.com. And as we always do at the beginning, or
in the first segment of our show, we'd like to thank what we
call our executive producers and Associate Executive producers.
And as I was watching the Golden Globes, I realized that these
credits that are real credits, because you know, when you when
you finance the episode, you're an executive producer, or an
Associate Executive Producer, just like Hollywood, but here's
the difference. During the Golden Globes during the Oscars,
you do not see an award for producer now do you best
executive producer? Do you see that? No. They're shunned, shut
up and produce.
Well, the writers are also shunned, ever mentioned their
names in the nomination. Yep. All the last award show I
bitched about at dinner, they did it again,
I know. But we don't have writer credits. We have Executive
Associate Executive Producer saying
that there's a bunch of bigoted prejudices out there that don't
include your right executive produce should be money guys
should get to get a little award, they can get a little
mini award.
They don't they don't want these guys figuring out how valuable
they are. And I think that we're on the right track with our
value for value model, and we'd like to honor those who are
supporting this program financially as producers.
Now I do want to, I want to thank people, but we also had
our meet up and I wanted to say it was gonna be on Thursday, I
was gonna credit these guys. So we do have four executive
producers in that category who donated at the flag meet up and
then I want to mention them. Okay, that one is an anonymous
mac and cheese guy. He sent an envelope with the money, and
then a mac and cheese certificate and there was
nothing written on his diet and I always Oh, so nonnamous Then
Sean Wilkie and I have a note from him. Actually, it's a very
short notice. No big deal. This should be it. Mazel Tov to the
best podcast in the universe. Thank you for shepherding us
through the morass that was 2018 Please send some karma my way.
You've got karma. There was the long note came from Brian
Holcomb or no Ryan? No Ryan had it. Well, there's actually Brian
Holcomb Potterville Michigan that's the guy I wanted to bring
up and also right? Yeah, no, I got mixed mixed up. Sorry. Brian
Holcomb I wonder I have to read his No, because it's three and
three $3.33 of good. One of the executive producers, but he came
in from Michigan. And he was in the area and we had a number of
people that just kind of were passing through they found out
about the meetup. They stopped by oh really cool. But he
actually was intending to send this and and I suspect because
you wrote a long note, I want to thank you for your tenacious
deconstructions of these lazy news ologists I've been off the
donation says episode 1020 may please be deduced and
you bet holy shit sorry that was bad you've been deed deuced
Wow duplicate that donation of 333 33 cents my departure
departure from the automobile automotive union dimension be
ecosystem to the dimension be Silicon Valley ecosystem many
life changes that follow me John edit right when he wished me
luck. It has been tough for certain Thank goodness for a
wonderful lady for a patient's as supportive her life goals
that I need job karma badly may please have some I'd also like
to request respect. Pew pew pew and droned again my personal
fave. Since I've touched that nerve there are a few topics now
this is a little long because after read this there are a few
topics that are really irked me since my moved to Silicon
Valley. For one Tesla sucks customer service or
relationships with employees and the fact that the mega gala
maniac Elon is a con artist is too readily apparent. Here's
some news for you folks. tech guys cannot build cars. I
figured out why California wants autonomous cars. They can't
freakin drive. Another topic that happened to be here locally
as a train wreck called Serrano's. Everybody needs to
read the book Bad Blood Elizabeth and her crony
boyfriend need to be jailed to disgusting lack of due diligence
taken by these old geezers is amazing. Warren Buffett was the
only exception. He at least let the author work unimpeded.
George Shultz his treatment of his own grandson is appalling
which by the way was was was pointed out in the TV material
about this. So to wrap it up if any of the producers are looking
for a manufacturing guru look me up I want to wish you gentlemen
a prosperous New Year and continued karma for all the
producers out there. All right, thank you ESP ICT jobs,
jobs and jobs for jobs.
And last on the list of people that were at the meet up and
gave us executive producer amounts of Sir Scott of Diablo.
Alright, so we got four guys, five guys that need to be put on
the big list. Great, guys. Thank you. Gracias and I'll mentioned
the other people that were there with lesser amounts at the
break. Jennifer by the way, it was a great meet up a lot of
great people to talk to as a lot of fun and I got a good day I
had a good discussion with our friend from his old he's, I
don't know if he wants me to say this or not, but I'm gonna say
he was used to be at General Motors. General Jennifer WIDA
and Lawton, Oklahoma five, five 6.92. And she says as you know,
I recently transferred funds from my previous contributions
to Greg Davies, so he could finally get his knighthood.
However, living the Mac and Chief Chief McClatchy life has
meant that I have not been able to contribute actual value for
value for quite some time until now. My university family
classified me as an intern finally classified me as a in
state student which resulted in extra money being applied to my
financial aid toward this semester. I have attached as
extra to no agenda as a thank you for your excellent work. And
thank you for that donation is quite nice, very generous. The
show keeps me informed, entertained, sane and grounded
in a reality which as you know, is essential to surviving higher
education with critical thinking skills intact. I think so. My
contribution brings me to Dame hood and I would like to be
known as Dame Jennifer of the Gypsy nation. May I please have
parolees and peppermint schnapps at the roundtable and for
jingles you would like a mani whip him with the Constitution
and a little girl yay.

electricity generated back to the public utility at point nine
cents per kilowatt hour whereas we buy electricity from the same

segment and remember, we've got another show coming up on
Sunday. You can support us as a producer at VO rec.org/in A
you've got all the dirt you need to see you can go and hang out
with your friends. Our formula
is this. We go out for yet people in the mouth
speaking of the Golden Globes,
oh, yes, we should at least give him a mention.
I have one clip to play. Good.
I'm glad you got something because I watched it. And it was
you know, it's not a good. I did notice a couple of things are
some people that had certain tables that got the most away
well, no, everyone had my way. No, put them away.
Rosae that's Yes, I saw it. I saw the difference. I wonder if
that was a choice they could have made beforehand.
Well, nobody in their right mind would have picked a regular mo
a, you know over Safeway wine as opposed to Rosae which is always
there was always a well made product. Okay, what else did you
notice? I noticed that and those are in magnums, too many times
which big giant bottle. And what else? Yes, I'm
quite familiar with the Magnum sighs
Yes. I'm sure you are. Excel economics sales, which is the
beer you drink. I don't know. What else did I notice? I can't
recall anything important.
Oh, there was nothing important. Although twice when someone was
doing the whole diversity thing. They stopped the the orchestra
was stopped in fact that Oh, I
did. They were playing somebody off and she started talking
about diversity or something.
And at the end to the when Bohemian Rhapsody one, that the
guy you know, he also was getting into his whole Diversity
Equity thing. That's the word by the way. equity, equity
equitable. It's going to be equity, equity. Equity. Which is
a nice co-option of the word. Yeah. Then he said Stop, stop,
stop and they stopped. They went way over. They were at least 15
minutes over time. Oh, yeah. You know, it was just, I actually
should have gotten a clip of the President of the Hollywood
foreign press Association. She was the funniest. Like we're
under attack. Like, oh, please rattle your pearls. If you
agree. We're under attack. We're under attack.
But it was a bunch of rich guys saying is ridiculous.
The best moaning and
groaning
this show gets the best. Even I can steal from John Lennon from
time to time. The good one here is one of the best native ads I
have seen in a long time. It was, it was funny, it was
spectacular. It was real. They got the name, check it. I don't
know how it worked. But I'd say a plus for this advertising
moment.
Normally, at this point of the show, the hosts would do
something fun and spontaneous to show how we're all just ordinary
people like ordering pizza for everyone.
But since we already got food at the globes, we thought we'd mix
it up and try something new. So roll up your sleeves Hollywood
because you're all getting
flu shots.
So if you didn't see this, if you didn't see this, all of a
sudden, like 10 people walk in with with white coats have got
in their real you'll hear in a second it was a Rite Aid
commercial. And they start and they actually inject a few
people and, and there's a couple of jokes in here but it is a
native ad for Rite Aid and for their flu shot. It's flu season
after all.
Reason shot shot shot, shot shot up, ma'am. You're definitely
gonna want to get some
are all licensed professionals trained from the Rite Aid in
Echo
Park? And look if you're an anti Vaxxer? Just put a napkin over
your head and we'll keep you
well done. Yeah, well done. The whole idea.
Had to cost a few mil. And you
saw a Oh, yeah. And you saw like, we'll have to follow like,
no, go away from me. Of course some slaves like sticking to my
arm. Can you imagine? Can you imagine I would be freaked out
if someone came off with kidney cancer. Easy
to help. No, I already had the shot. I'm good. All right. Yeah,
the show I'm good.
Yeah. So that was I thought I liked the host. I thought it was
cute. And you know, they did their anti anti kind of meta
kind of opening. Yeah, we're gonna rip on everybody. But
we're not Yeah, it's cute. That ratings are always cute. Rating
ratings. Were kind of flat. Already down a little bit. Who
cares? No one cares. No one cares. Yeah. Let's see. Oh,
well, while we're talking about Hollywood, why don't we briefly
speak about the Brexit the the movie? Yes. The uncivil war
Brexit the answer? Okay. Did
you watch it? Yeah,
I mean, just explained that this aired on this is now hopefully
you heard our last episode, we had Dominic Cummings, a speech
and marketing speech how he did everything played several clips
of that. And that was in anticipation of this being
released on Channel Four, which played on I guess, Monday, and
in the UK and on January 19. It'll be on HBO and cumberbund
Cumberbatch Cumberbatch, Sherlock Holmes plays plays
Dominic Cummings the movie is really about him and how he did
it.
So let's take a look at I have a clip because I had nothing but
trouble finding a clip
well first overall impression
I liked it
I liked it I thought it was very accurate although it right at
the beginning it says this story is devised on actual events not
based on or this not a truce is a device and if you look up the
definition that's
yeah, it was vice they played it there's a dramatic it literally
means we made shit up but
they made a lot of stuff up is pretty obvious but it was the
gist of it was accurate Yes.
And to a marketer or a hack like myself I thought the most
interesting parts were how he came up with the slogan you know
how we found out what was really bothering people but the whole
thing including right up to the end you could have put any
titles at the end of this movie you wanted to Yeah, and you
could have made it sound like wow, Facebook does that you
could have said wow this guy's a marketing genius he was smart
you could have said wow isn't fantastic that you found the
true people like the woman in the in the focus group who just
starts crying and wailing and she's clearly one of these you
know, the 3 million if I have oh good let's play that set it up
and then we'll talk at
this particular clip is about the remainers the remain
campaign which had a bunch of professional marketing guys
because it couldn't weren't gonna take a chance Cummings
with the guy on the other side. On the leaves side was more of a
kind of a visionary type. And so these guys are going with a
standard operating procedure standard way to do things. And
they had the best guys doing it. And so there's this moment where
they're showing a focus group, they use focus groups a lot. And
there's a focus group and the main, the general manager of the
campaign, who's knows about all this stuff, he's watching the
focus group, and he sees that the woman are leading it is
doing a piss poor job again, in the kind of responses that that
he's looking for, because he's not getting the responses he's
looking for. So he just decides against
all it is all protocol and and focus group science.
Yes, he violates the rules and barges in to ghazis. Now he's so
annoyed and he tries to control the focus group, the focus group
quickly goes out of control with him in there. And and it results
in one woman at the very end, crying her eyes out, because
with her commentary that this has this this EU thing has done
nothing for most people in this country, and I'm particularly
miserable because of it. What can you do about that? Why
should we even you know, want you and did you play the clip?
Hey?
No, that breaks. She's not testing our argument. That the
hard facts right, the Treasury receives a net benefit of 20
billion pounds a year from EU workers into the system growing
the economy. That's after using public services. So they are
paying for more care more teachers more. That's not a good
thing. Yes, no
one's saying I'm sorry.
I think how much are we paying at the over there? Yeah, 350
million.
Okay. None. Have you heard all messages on that 350 million,
you know,
you're in trouble as a marketer. If you say in a focus group, I
have no one heard our message is to get in trouble.
Holmes is a lie. He would say that, no, it does not exist. It
has never existed a check for that amount has never been
signed, we will not get it. If we leave, what will happen to
them. Our currency will collapse and the economy will contract.
How
do you know that you will not get things wrong all the time. I
don't know why we pay anything to be a member of the single
largest trading bloc in the entire world. What benefit Am I
seeing from that where I'm from? I'd rather go with the NHS, like
I say,
You do realize by people making these promises people that you
have never heard of Dominic Cummings. They're not elected.
They're not going to form a government despite having made
billions of pretend spending promises post Brexit that they
have no power or responsibility to see any of it through. Okay,
we could take a little break or our banks and his diamond mine
in South Africa or Nigel Farage old stockbroker Boris Johnson
Jacob Riis, mog. They're going to be fine, aren't they? This is
just a game to them a debating society but the risk to you and
your children is
no risk come to where I'm from. There's nothing to lose we've
got something to lose our age here's what have had your life.
You've had your drive your hopes and dreams it doesn't matter.
Saw that thank you very much.
Everything because you are nervous about people with a
different color skin and
being called that what did I call you? What
did I even know what you know? What you were calling racist?
When you're saying that she's right
we can't say nothing now without that coming
I've had my life coming from your big city. The past few
years have been fucking awful. That's right. So let's don't
talk about it. Don't mention it. I'm sick of feeling like
nothing. Like I have nothing. Like I know nothing. Like I am
nothing.
I hope that was valuable for people who didn't who have not
had no visuals. I think it worked. What. So my overall
impression especially that part was it was really the way they
wrapped it up with just a bunch of title cards at the end just
to shape your brain into what the takeaway was because you
could have done anything with this. It was It seemed factually
pretty correct. The impression was kind of given that these 3
million magical people they found who had never voted and
this went through machine learning and all kinds of magic
voodoo and Facebook. Sounds just like regular marketing
principles to me that that You know that they are the only ones
in the day made it happen. And you know, that's the only group
that has to be addressed. Were really it was just the group
that they found out and addressed that pushed them over
the, you know, the 50% mark, but it kind of made it feel like
well, oh, sure, those people who were unhappy and sad and doesn't
work for them, and then at the very end, it's all like, well,
if this happened, you know, but there was probably campaign
violation, you know, laws were, were violated. And don't forget,
this was Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer draw.
Well, there was definitely a connection with the Trump did
they use of the colors red, which was their color?
At the end, Trump that was the last word on the screen Trump.
Yeah, Trump sad. It that's kind of ruined it but I talked to
overall movie was really good. So for all that crap at the end.
Now, they had that guy interviewed on one of the
morning shows in England, and I listened to him he's a very
interesting director. And I guess he wrote it too. But if it
shows up I think it's worth watching. It's got a lot of it's
just a good drama and Cumberbatch is great. He's even
have them balled, which I thought was funny.
That was good. It was it was very enjoyable piece and
then finally it and Cumberbatch is a very staunch Remainer so he
played this guy and he did it. Well, he's a pro he's just a
really good actor. Now there are some things going on over there
about Brexit because yes, he's gone berserk because they can't
pass any
have a background clip on Parliament and the block.
Okay. And then I have a Theresa May, on a talk show commenting
about what she thinks is going on.
Okay. So this is the backgrounder
UK lawmakers once again flexing their muscle as they seek to
assert control over Brexit. by 303 to 296 MPs on Tuesday
approved an amendment to the Finance bill to prohibit
government spending on no deal Brexit preparations without
parliamentary authorization. The eyes have a it's yet another
setback for Theresa May 20 MPs from her own Conservative Party
broke ranks to vote with the opposition as parliamentarians
try to head off the prospect of Britain crashing out of the EU
with no deal in place, which many fear would bring disastrous
consequences for the UK economy. Mays government says the latest
development is a mere inconvenience and that a no deal
Brexit remains a possibility
we've been working on the basis that no deal was a potential
outcome from the very beginning. Our main aim is continuity of
trade.
Last month May abruptly canceled a scheduled vote on her existing
deal with Brussels in the face of its certain defeat in
Parliament.
We will therefore defer the vote scheduled for tomorrow.
She pledged to secure further EU assurances on its most
controversial elements despite statements from Brussels that
they were done negotiating. But may has been meeting with EU
leaders in recent days and says a new vote on her deal will go
ahead on January 15. opposition to it however, remains strong. A
troubling sign for the UK and Europe alike
as the idea of is to be defeated in order to have better grounds
for negotiations. There is an extraordinary risk to this and I
wouldn't do it.
Speculation has mounted that if it loses the vote Downing Street
will be forced to seek an extension of article 50 and
delay Brexit insists that's not on the table and that the UK
will leave the EU on March 29.
No write it and they say we're nuts.
They have and they had a thing. Good one of them. After that
report. There was a another vote for something or there was an
attempt to do an amendment then the speaker shut it down. And
then there was an edict that when they do have the next vote
they have if they don't come up with anything that doesn't pass,
they have and this is the part that is new. They have three
days. They push this off. They have three days to come up with
a plan B and they have no pant Plan B. So here's what Mae said
I think this was also this was also predates the the plan be a
problem. But she does have an interesting. She's on a talk
show one of the major ones and she's yakking about this and she
does have something at the little gotcha at the end that I
thought was unique
is a Labour leadership and Labour party that is playing
politics. Yes, we are going to hold the vote. You said it was
going to be next week. Actually, the debate starts next week. And
the debate will carry on into the into the following week. But
we will be holding the vote. We're talking about the 15th or
14th run that that sort of timing. If the deal is not voted
on this vote that's coming up, then actually we're going to be
an unchartered territory. I don't think anybody can say
exactly what will happen in terms of the reaction we'll see.
Because Because As well, if I can just go back to what I was
going to do, which is setting out what we have in the House of
Commons, what we have in the House of Commons is a Labour
leadership and Labour party that is playing politics with this
that is opposing any deal in order to create the most the
greatest chaos that they can we've got people who were
promoting a second referendum in order to stop Brexit and we've
got people who are want to see their perfect Brexit and I would
say don't let the search for the perfect become the enemy that's
a good danger there the danger there is actually we end up with
no Brexit at all
that sort of slogan hmm she's gonna run with that every
perfect be the enemy of good
well as you listen to the end, she says The possibility exists
they're gonna have no Brexit
well, so the from the do over camp that she spoke of this is
Conservative MP and Brexit do over proponent and a so Bri
sauerbrey. So you dry? Yes, this other one? Yeah, she's the one.
She's the one.
She's the one who was shouted down during an interview
outside. Yeah, that's, that's what I have yellow jackets.
But this is a very odd BBC montage. So they start off kind
of interviewing her and then they jump to another spot and
then the people are calling her Nazi and it was just weird. Want
to know why
this could go on for a while. And that's why that's the other
thing that has now got to happen is we have to be absolutely I do
object to being called a Nazi actually.
Look, they jacked up the audio honor to to make sure you could
hear that they are singing that she's that Nazis, like a bunch
of football dudes is great.
But this is this is what has happened to our country.
Because they're even drowning her out. There's no reason for
this. This is an edited piece of jackin. Right through what she's
saying.
Anyway, let's try and move on and be positive about things she
can't keep coming back
with. You can't even hear what she's saying. They just they
just jacked up their microphone of them saying that she's a
Nazi. By the way, the Queen of England, she's got to have the
ultimate white privilege, don't you think? I would do?
She's definitely just in
the scheme of things, isn't she? Isn't she the queen of white
privilege, surprise
that she hasn't done something about this whole thing. Just
wanted to say think she's too old.
If you're done on Brexit, we had another important political
event take place.
Am I done on Brexit? I got to test you, chef. I think so.
An upset in the Democratic Republic of Congo election. And
upset I tell you, Oh, really. We were pretty sure that the winner
of this election would be the Exxon Mobil guy. But no, no, no,
no. With a margin of about 5 million, 7 million votes 38%.
She's chickadee. What's his first name? To check it? beat
out fi ulu and to check it he is son of a previous a politician
who was actually he died at 84 Just before he could see his son
take the throne. This guy to check it. He grew up in Europe.
And every bio that mentions him talks about he did a number of
odd jobs in Brussels before going back to the Democratic
Republic of Congo to run and win the election. So it will be very
interesting to see what happens now this this could be a French
guy versus a US intelligence guy that there were two different
factions. No way do I believe that this is a People's Choice.
That's not their history. It's not their culture. It's not how
it works. It's there's too many assets in the region. We have
troops on the ground. We have Ebola standing by. It'll be very
interesting to see what happens. And embassies have been
evacuated in anticipation of some unrest in the region. So a
surprise upset. Yeah, from a guy who had did odd jobs in
Brussels, but he did. Wonder what kind of odd jobs there are
in Brussels working at a french fry stats assassin he's also one
of these guys who wears the white, the white clothes you
know
these guys are crazy. We got I have the R Kelly story which I
thought was kind of weird.
You don't know about this has been going on for years this
story Yo, I
know that's what they say in the clip that's been going on for
years and I guess the guys finally got his comeuppance.
All right documentary series about the singer R Kelly has
prosecutors in Illinois and Georgia taking a fresh look at
the music superstar. A number of women have accused Kelly of
crimes including sexual assault. To rica Duncan is following
this.
The Grammy winning singer and songwriter is now under legal
scrutiny in two states for alleged sexual and physical
abuse of multiple women. Calls to investigate the 52 year old
were reignited after the six hour Docu series surviving our
Kelly aired on lifetime and felt like a prison. Cook County
State's Attorney Kim Fox is asking anyone with information
to come forward. The recent allegations against entertainer
R Kelly, and the recent lifetime documentary series are deeply
deeply disturbing. She has been in touch with families from the
Docu series who are looking for their loved ones.
I hope and pray that the DA makes a move quick from out of
Chicago or out of Atlanta, because at this point, he may be
leaving the country with these girls and whoever to try to flee
from this situation.
Well, Timothy and John Julian savage who were featured in the
lifetime series, say their 23 year old daughter Joycelyn
Savage has been brainwashed by our Kelly. Despite several
videos she has made. I'm in a happy place with my life. She
says she's fine. Kelly's award winning career has been
shattered by sexual misconduct allegations for more than two
decades. He was acquitted of engaging in sex acts with a 13
year old back in 2008, I believe
by the documentary has opened up and I believe it's powered
numbers and I believe it will be a convention this time.
Okay. I have looked into this somewhat I followed this for a
while this is not a secret in the music business, although
I've never encountered it myself with our Kelly or anyone else
for that matter. But this is a well known situation. But
there's an issue because our Kelly knows too much. And that's
why the policies in Hollywood are staying home. That's the
only reason there's a lot going on in Hollywood. In today's
media landscape, where everyone is really the journalists were
collective journalists. And this stuff is just out there but
they're afraid to go in the cops, I think also very worried
about mobility. Because there's there's stuff going on that if
stuff. Yeah, well, let me give you another example in
Hollywood.
A grief stricken community erupting outside of a prominent
democratic donors West Hollywood apartment. For the second time
in less than two years, authorities say a young black
man was found dead inside Ed bucks home in 2017 26. year old
Jamel more was found dead and LA County deputies ruled it an
overdose. Then Monday morning. Authorities say another man was
found unresponsive.
I've gotten reports today that the person who died today was in
his 50s I don't care if he was in his 20s 30s 40s in the
70s 80s 90s or older he was a black man and he died of an
overdose and Ed Buck's house,
the political donor has never been arrested or charged for
either death, though both cases are now under investigation.
Bucks attorney says he was just trying to help drug addicts down
on their luck. This is
not a situation where Mr. Buck has caused the death. This is a
situation where Mr. Buck has had longtime friends who
unfortunately do not handle their life well.
Protest organizer Jasmine Kanak paints a different picture she
claims he targets vulnerable young black men and lured them
to his apartment with the promise of drugs sex and money.
Activists turning their anger toward bucks neighbors saying
they're complicit in the deaths.
Now listen to the neighbors This is very interesting all of them
white by the way. We're gonna be
out here every night. Every night
I think it's great. I think that they shouldn't be out here and I
think that they shouldn't be fighting for the rights to both
boys that die. Both men that have died.
Notices flub were in the beginning we heard Oh, he might
be 50 wasn't really a boy. Listen, this is a boy. It was a
young boy. That's obvious. And this guy even says these boys. I
mean men listen,
I think it's great.
I think that they shouldn't be out here and I think that they
shouldn't be fighting for the rights to both boys, the men
that have died.
I understand like wondering like your his neighbor, like what was
your role? And the reality is, we're neighbors. We're not going
to call the police on any black man who walks into our building.
That's quite racist on its own, and that would never occur to
me. So my question is,
what role does the police
department play in?
Yes. What role does the police taking a
while to develop? Now I like you said they like to keep
everything hushed up. I found a reference to this whole thing
with this first guy Jamel in the advocate, which is the gay
newspaper that will bring up stuff that other people won't
bring up, including some tweets the guy made saying that this
book character had got him hooked on meth with by injecting
him and then apparently like to get these guys high all mad
because it gives them some sort of some sexual thing involved
here. And he would just, you know, unfortunately, take it too
far. And they killed the first guy who's who was bitching about
this? being hooked on math because he didn't want to be
hooked on meth. And I guess the second guy was similar
situation, but I guess he got black kids up there and he gave
him you know, a nice dose or whatever, something like that.
The police aren't investigating. I don't it's pretty tawdry.
Yeah.
And you know what'll happen is this will all get plowed under
the new Michael Jackson documentary that's coming out
where to suppose it former lovers of his will tell all so
that'll cover everything up for a while as the media will
discuss that ad nauseam. Whereas my personal experience with
Michael Jackson is he's asexual. And that's a different story.
But there's this is it is Hollywood. It is entertainment.
It is entertainment law. It is. And by coincidence, I think a
lot of Republicans have repressed homosexuality, but the
Democrats, they go for other stuff. And you know, not
condemning anything, but when people get hurt, it's a problem.
Here's Alan Dershowitz. He's also still kind of on the block
with this Lolita Express. He showed up on some Fox news
segment and he discussed allegations against him. The
ending is of particular interest. So
the book is out now the case against the Democratic House,
impeaching Trump, we have to ask you before you hit the road,
basically about what happened in Florida with a convicted
pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. I know that your his attorney was
his
attorney during the time that he was being prosecuted. I have no
legal not not taking the feet from him and years and years and
years. But when you're somebody's attorney, you can't
stop answering questions. So when he has a question now about
the deal that was struck, I'm available to talk to him. You
know,
there was a big investigation. The Miami Herald just did it.
And of course, your name came up without possible accusation. So
they're totally dealing with a woman.
Oh, totally made up. Look, as to the first woman who accused me
her own lawyer admitted in front of witnesses that she was wrong,
just wrong that I couldn't have been in the places. The second
woman is a woman who wrote to the New York Post, claiming she
had videotapes of Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton. Donald
Trump having sex with underage girls, the New York Post said we
don't believe you they wouldn't even publish our story but she's
one of the people so you know, these are all come from the same
source David Boies the attorney who's furious Amicus I filed bar
charges unethical bar charges against them and he threatened
me that unless I withdrew the bar charges he would find
somebody else do accuse me I don't think anybody believes
this. Anybody takes this seriously. It's not like knee to
knee to the mental knew the women I never met these people
are total strangers to me, and I'm looking for an opportunity.
I'm looking for a trial. Let's have a hearing. There are emails
for our secret but that proved not only that I was framed, but
who framed me It names names. These people are gonna go to
jail rocks, these emails come out because this was a total
frame up for financial reasons. And I can prove it and we'll
prove it had me back on the show. When the emails come out.
Boy there'll be so interesting they'll be prominent people in
handcuffs Wow
So when this starts to happen and there's more because the the
Golden Globes all kinds of controversies certainly amongst
the millennial set despise Bohemian Rhapsody winning
because of the involvement of director who was fired before
was finished Bryan Singer Brian with a wise singer, you should
look that up. Other issues Green Book, of course is just white
privilege movie. But when these things happen when this stuff
starts to get out, we have a segment for it and weird things
happen in Hollywood.
Another tale of the Hollywood whack
Who will go first? Someone's gotta die.
I find it interesting that he mentioned David Boies as the as
the lawyer because his his name has been in the news forever.
He's the guy who cross examined Bill Gates, the antitrust case.
Doesn't get much better. No, that does it.
No, it's fantastic. It's
beautiful. Truly, truly beautiful.
We're going to talk about stuff like they do have a letter for
winter read. Okay, this is from EB jonadab. A quick note, just
read the newsletter and you mentioned of Wells Fargo bought
brought me back to a year ago when I resigned from that
hellhole of an incompetent corrupt company.
Yes, I'm so happy you brought this note to the show is a great
one. That's a great note.
You've read in the news that they are outsourcing 10% of
their workforce. Bullshit. Two years ago as we technology
managers were told we had to come up with a list of jobs that
we could that could be sent to be je s enterprise Global
Services in India. It had to be 25% of our department no
exceptions. This is an ongoing exercise and you can be sure
more American jobs will be outsourced in the coming months.
These people are as unAmerican as any foreign company. They
exist to rip off the consumer to the greatest extent possible. I
recommend my fellow no agenda producers to avoid this bank
like the plague that it is.
This is a no agenda tip is a tip. A very obvious tip. I know
someone who is considering changing their financial
institution because of this note,
you know, no to keeper.
I say nothing. The keeper Why didn't didn't Don't do that. But
he already feels bad about and she wants to eliminate
everything from there.
Well, I was actually going to ask you I just what I said I
would ask you but since you bring it up on the show I think
she should consider pulling your money out although she's never
had a problem.
I have a mortgage with them. And so we go in to discuss sons
insurance settlement for some some storm
was for your roof.
The roof? Yeah. And so I go in there and the guy says, Okay,
what's your account number? And then I give him the account
number I say, although you may have some other account numbers
for me that I don't know about.
Did Did he get the joke or did he start lying cracked
up? told me it was under way out anyway, he's leaving. All right.
He's a good guy.
But anyway, I think that that may be solid advice. That's kind
of boots on the ground. That's the kind of that's You don't
need much more reporting on than that.
I don't know why people do business with some of these big
banks like that.
You got to sometimes
Yeah, I got a couple interesting oddball clips.
What can I do a serious topic and we'll take a break and then
we can do odd balls
while they're not odd button serious but yes, you do. You're
serious clips would take the break, and then I'll do these
clips.
So now comes to us from science, from actual science. Scientists
in the UK in US are convinced that our embassy personnel in
Cuba were their brains were damaged through hearing
crickets. Now you're telling me this is serious. This clip
you're gonna play? Because this was the stupidest thing? I'm
surprised I didn't get a copy of this clip. It's not. It's not
this is this what is the point if you're gonna do something
like this, once you make it, you know, fire, you know, there's
fire beepers or sometimes a million things you could do. But
crickets do not cause brain damage.
I mean, and I've got the I got the paper that they produced.
And they're showing these wave audio waveforms and look it's
exactly the same as the the in the short tailed cricket. Are
you I mean, this is almost as funny as NIST and the World
Trade Towers. This is steel Melton This is hilarious.
This is like it was actually done in the onion and went got
into let
me let me just read it so people get the context of the reporting
Sonic attack on US embassy in Havana could have been crickets
but then they go further than could have noise which saw
diplomats complaining of headaches and nausea was Song of
Indies short tailed cricket, and brain damage. Fresh analysis of
the audio recording has revealed what scientists in the UK and US
now believe is the true source of the piercing din. It is the
song of the indie short tailed Cricut formerly known as the
unranked Gryllus seller. Are nicot ticket tickets as the
recording is definitely a cricket that belongs to the same
groups at Fernando Montel gays Uppada, Professor of sensory
biology at the well this is one recording, one recording that we
even played it on the show and we didn't get brain damage. The
call of this Caribbean species is about seven kilohertz and is
delivered an unusually high rate which gives humans the sensation
of a continuous sharp trill. I can go on and on and on. But I
would just like to play you the Associated Press report of of
when this first happened, and what they were saying happened
to these people and try and match that up with this obvious
propaganda.
doctors who are treating the victims of the unexplained
attacks on Americans and Cuba have discovered abnormalities in
their brain as they've been searching for answers for how
these patients developed all kinds of symptoms ranging from
neurological to vision and cognitive problems. The doctors
have found changes in the white matter tracks white matter in
the brain acts like highways of information that lets different
parts of the brain talk to each other. This is the most specific
medical findings to date that doctors have been able to come
up with showing that whatever harms the Americans and Cuba, it
led to discernible measurable changes in their brain.
Investigators still don't know what kind of device or weapon
could cause these types of changes in the brain. And
outside experts tell the AAP that acoustic waves or sound has
never been shown to change white matter tracks. They also say
it's very unusual to see changes in the white matter without also
seeing changes to the gray matter neurons that process
information in the brain. The US has 24 American government
workers in Havana were hit by unexplained attacks in their
homes, and in some cases, hotels, almost all of the
Americans heard some unexplained sound and then later develop
symptoms. Some of those symptoms included hearing loss, cognitive
problems, memory and balance issues and even eyesight
problems. The US as it still doesn't know who's doing this.
But as it learns more about what's happened to these
victims, they're learning more about how to treat potential
cases in the future. Again, Associated Press. Journalists
that was the original that was the original report.
Yeah, that was the original report. Yeah, we don't I don't
need to do any clips because this is just this is now just
pawned off as to toss away story into the brain
and make the original unless someone could show a. I mean, it
is possible that there's an element of mass hysteria which
does happen. That accounts for this. In other words,
one person got all nutty, maybe Trump derangement syndrome.
Similar mass hysteria, Trump derangement syndrome is a form
of mass hysteria. There's no question about it in my mind,
well, this is like the, what's it called? You know, if someone
starts puking on an airplane, everyone can start puking is a
term for it.
It's also the instances where one girl in a school has some
thing going on with her and another girl gets whatever this
mystery is talking about.
Talking like that. It's very infectious.
To man, but I'm very dubious about just because it happened
at a different embassy in China, I think. And then it was other
miscellaneous reports of this occurrence and there was some
Canadians that got affected by it is those and there was some
suspicion the way the CIA talked about it was very suspicious to
us. We had clips made it sound like you're experimenting
but what's interesting about it is that the the audio the the
research was based on is audio from the Associated Press. Yeah,
they are the ones that publish that they had the recording
okay. So I don't know it's
we have some some counter propaganda coming out here and
there and I think this has been going on for a while. Obviously,
this is not in a white what the point of it is, but they keep
doing it medical marijuana and driving.
Oh, yes, I'm sure Oh, 30 cliche
began Washington DC can legally use medical marijuana to ease
their pain and other conditions. But how many are driving while
high? Studies. One study found that more than half admit two is
Dr. John Le Polk has more on the safety
concerns.
At the most advanced driving simulator in the world at the
University of Iowa. The study of the effects of driving under the
influence of cannabis has been in high gear. It looks like a
spaceship. And there's an entire car inside. Dr. Marilyn Weston
has been studying cannabis for 20 years. She put me in in the
driver's seat when we visited the lab are 60 minutes. This
really feels like
what a fabulous resource. This is for us to safely evaluate the
effects of drugs, the ability to take information in evaluate it,
make decisions and initiate them greatly affected by cannabis
marijuana in the car.
Those potential dangers are at the heart of a study out today,
which found more than half of Michigan residents surveyed who
use medical cannabis for chronic pain admitted to driving while a
little high, one in five minutes driving while very high. That's
a concern for law enforcement. There are 2.1 million medical
marijuana users across 33 states. Wow,
I am really high.
Yeah, this of course, is not good people. This is not good.
The funny thing is we Mimi likes to point this out all the time.
And I've seen it up in Washington state where it's been
legal for quite a while. I mean, it's kind of semi legal in
California all the time and you don't notice it so much. But
there you have you see the following. Some guy was kind of
a crab but you know, a Ford Escort. Never been washed is
black and it's all grimy and it's kind of ring and one with
just like one tires little low. And it's going down the road
kind of sideways. And it's the inside of the car you can't see
in not because they put some because there's so much smoke
has been in the car and smoked a Windows. So it's considered kind
of opaque. And as this thing Bumbles down the road, it's
always doing around 15 miles an hour. Yeah, that's the guy that
doesn't Yeah, he's stoned. And he's like, and he's good. He's
you can if you go by and you can see him he's hunched over the
wheel, you know, grip gripping the wheel, both hands and his
head is just above the wheel because he's just freaked. And
he's gone down the road. And there he goes to stoner in his
crabbed Ford Escort, and it's I don't see the safety issue here.
It's pretty obvious what's going on and you can just avoid him. I
mean, maybe you get rear ended I think that's the danger.
Well, this is just about getting some kind of legislation on the
books, make money. Get PRs, you know, people are buying illegal
weed in California because it's so expensive. It's cheaper to
get from from here to here in New York from the from the
underground circuit.
Yeah, that's true. So I got destroyed and I immediately
thought This is Seattle. This is a prot, this is a I think
there's a bigger problem going on with some of these with all
the West Coast cities. San Francisco is you know, poop city
is poorly managed as millions of homeless encampments all over
the place.
I have a poop city quick clip that appears
on a 21 year old Baltimore man known by the alias doodoo but
was arrested for a road rage style shooting. Baltimore police
say on October 13, they were called to old Frederick Avenue
where they found a 20 year old man suffering from gunshot
wounds. Ward aka doodoo but was wanted for first degree murder
and was arrested in Pennsylvania on a Maryland warrant. No word
on how he got that alias. Sorry.
San Francisco. Yes. Very another fine no agenda Clip of the Day.
I'll give you that.
Oh, really? Oh, shoot. That was that was my throw away of the
day, but I'll take it Thank you. Do do but please. Well, honey,
did you like the show? Yeah, the doodoo Buck clip was fantastic.
Everything else falls by the wayside yesterday
I was just taking right now. To Seattle is it Portland Portland,
which is almost broke. You know, it's all his idiots. Portlandia
makes fun of a Seattle's probably worse and they got the
hammer. So listen to this clip. But the two Seattle Council
members go to New York City to screw with Amazon
in New York City to Seattle city councilors, warned activists and
local leaders about the potential unwanted consequences
of the new Amazon headquarters due to be built in Queens, New
York. At a Monday organizing event. They said Seattle did not
respond fast enough to Amazon's expansion, which left Seattle
with a housing crisis is real estate prices soared. The
counselors urged New Yorkers to resist an unfettered corporate
takeover and demand fair labor conditions. Since Amazon's
announcement of its HQ two plans in November, community
organizations and some local leaders have been protesting the
move. Last month workers at a new Amazon fulfillment center in
Staten Island announced plans to unionize citing safety long
hours and low pay as some of their concerns. And so what's
the
problem though?
And of course, I said when Amazon picked New York said that
he that Bezos is clueless about the unions
in New York metropolitan area, he has no idea what he's getting
into.
And it was actually a union warehousing or some union guy
that actually invited us a Washington State Senator, they
didn't mention that, plus the two council members. And I was
kind of misled by this report thinking that was the radicals
just radicals on the Seattle City Council, and especially one
woman in particular, who just hates Amazon, and wishes it
would leave and they want to put she wants to put a head tax on
him. Yeah. And she wasn't even one of the people that went, it
was this is the these these meddlers that go from place to
place like this. There's no reason for the Seattle City
Council to have its members talking. But maybe there is if
you want to unionize. So this is gonna be a huge problem for
Bezos. I think he's gonna be in for just trouble. She's in
trouble.
Well, we live in very interesting times. Where this is
the times where news was just not news. Journalism doesn't
exist. It's just us. And we're just trying to plow through it
and make everyone feel a little bit better. It is the no agenda
show.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
We do want to thank a few people. I'll start off again
with the some of the some of the people that showed up at the
flash meetup in Berkeley got good at including a dude named
Mohammed who donated 60 bucks Mike Bradshaw eight oh, h from
San Francisco. Mark Meredith. City. dot 55. He's had a nice
card. Brian guard i 110 bucks. Sure Josh deaf a ba ba. And he
told me how to pronounce his name. And the I can't remember
says you're pronouncing it wrong. It's def a bo o or you're
pronouncing it wrong. It's def a BA. I can't remember which of
the two things he said. Good work. He said one of the two.
Jim Lesko in Alameda. 50 to 80. And that was for Cordelia
Miller. Who needs a deed douching you've been de deuced
and I apologize for anybody who left up at Ryan hen. Head Head
them in Elk Grove California, donated $100.33 So and there's
probably some others I just lost track of somehow, some way.
Anyway onward with the regular list of the people that didn't
come. We start up with Andrew Young 12345 Keep up the good
work. Brandon Gruber Vista Vista California $112.35
We need to pause here because Hello gentlemen he says this
donation added up with my previous should allow me to be
knighted if not too long. May I please be knighted as Sir
branded night of the bare metal state machine? Of course.
Additionally, may I please request a birthday shout out to

pettah $110. Sarah Perry enhance in New York. $109.90. Now she
did write a hand write a note.
That priority interesting gets priority.
I thought it was also interesting enough to be read. I
listened to your episode 1099. Well, Obama, you bring up Abu
Jamal yesterday I listened to what's really happened. Mike
Rivero Friday 1228 18 in the YouTube channel. Abu Jamal is
mentioned two times. What's up someone's agenda to free him.
The Ambu does move Be Free Mumia. There are other somewhat
disturbing comments during that one and a half hours I watched
and listened so called good Germans. One, two, currently
seeing white people in South Africa being killed and
tortured, and it's become socially acceptable, quote,
unquote. IQ is a fact. But I don't agree. For one reason for
hostility of Trump's Make America Great Again campaign
makes politicians acknowledge that we're not a great country.
Thanks for analyzing analysis of democracy now. I remember seeing
Amy with the microphone in a crowd waiting for building seven
to come down
a note with a kicker
as I mentioned on the last show, somebody at the at the meetup
says one of Amy's executive, actual working producers,
listens to our show intently. Really get his name we can
wait one of one of Democracy Now. Warren Peace Report. AMY
GOODMAN producers listens to us. Yes. Cool. Yeah. Throw it just
writing something in the morning or something.
Yeah, put in the morning in the morning and Amy could say she

nature of the activity of our producer Jim Watts human
resource at being a World Cup lose racer I thought it
appropriate to create a custom karma for young read to afford
him every opportunity of success. And this won't work

Yesterday, sir Jean dropped by the common law condo is I got
something for you come down. All right. He gave me a 2019
survival package consisting of a a, a collection of metal straws,
which we'll be needing, of course with the elimination of
all straws, and to a two pack of yellow vests. Now knowing that
Jean is obviously some sort of handler of sorts, A being the
direct Russian contact of the show for many years. Now I met
him in Dallas, and when I moved to Austin, he moved to Austin.
Just saying,
well, and he like, likes Austin,
and he's invited the keeper and I to the Russian New Year
Sunday.
There's a Russian New Year.
I think it's the Orthodox thing. It's on the 12th or 13th. Yeah,
which is basically really really sickening food and great vodka.
It was like beets and eggs. And you're like, Oh, this is so
interesting. Oh, this is great. What do you guys eat? By the way
you eat shit and Russia is horrible. Except that they have
a carbonated drink. I forget the name already. It's kind of like
a vodka. Yes, that's the one that's my favorite of all of
them. But the yellow jackets are appreciated. I don't refer to
the yellow jacket the yellow vest revolution will come to the
United States it is
everywhere it is in coming to Austin.
Now we got equity coming to Austin. Here's the latest in
finance what is happening, then there's a new twist than
everything. The Prime
Minister yesterday said that against Ultra violence the only
answer is ultra toughness. So he announced a couple of measures
one of them being the fact that people who are partaking in
announced or undeclared demonstrations can be arrested
immediately. Another one of his ideas is to introduce some kind
of register for people known to use violence during
demonstrations. Use the example of hooliganism. In the beginning
of this century, France and many other European countries tackled
hooliganism, by introducing stadium bands for well known
hooligans, Edward Philippe, the Prime Minister wants something
similar now for people who are violent during demonstrations.
This is not really new, actually, it's already a law
that has been passed in the Senate, but not yet in the lower
house in France last year. So the measures and the law and the
tax everything is already ready. So it's now up to the French
Parliament to decide whether they want to implement these new
measures.
Why did he say the tax?
Here? So the measures and the law and tax everything is Yeah,
or text, maybe tax measures or attacks? I think text with
texts, no good. Just one more time
that's in the lower house in France last year. So the
measures and the law and the tax everything is already ready.
I think it's the text because he's saying that the law is
ready to be passed. It's the text of the law.
So it's now up to the French Parliament to decide whether
they want to implement these new measures to tackle the extreme
violence we've seen over the last couple of weeks during the
demonstrations of the yellow vests. Yes, because
the public must know that this is not just people who are angry
and citizens like their neighbors. No, no, no, this is
this is hooligans, people who hate gays and anti semitic. And
yeah, that's the people. They just said we have to put them on
a list of furniture and dads don't go out protesting unless
it's pre approved, and you've been registered as well.
Everything's going to be good. To registered. I put in the show
notes. Two versions of the fantastic Kurt Vonnegut story.
Harrison Bergeron, at two complete different
interpretations of the story. One is 20 minutes is very short,
but I did not know and one of our producers tweeted this to me
that there was a full version with Christopher Plummer
starring in it of this story, and if you don't know Harrison
Bergeron, with the story is you must get this from the show
notes and a show notes.com We'll make sure it's highlighted
prominently, or just go to the YouTubes and, and look for
Harrison Berger on movie Vonnegut maybe, and it's about
an hour and 37 minutes, but it shows you to the tee. What we
are going through today in social justice and how we are
trying to equalize everybody make it all fair. And we'll
obviously how it works out in the story. Have you ever seen
that I know we've talked about have you ever actually seen one
of those
probably just saw long ago? Well, yes, I might
have seen it years ago and I don't even remember. I don't
remember
much. But I do remember my commentary that you know these
guys are bringing out you know running people off a campus or
not letting people speak you know, the Yanis is and all these
other characters. They it always backfires. And now you have a
situation where of all people was disinvited to an event is of
all people is the really famous old lefty from the past Angela
Davis.
She was dissin Angela Davis Plitt Oh my goodness.
civil rights leader Angela Davis has responded to the Birmingham
civil rights Institute's decision to revoke a Human
Rights Award in her honor over her activism for Palestinian
rights and criticism of Israel. Davis says she was stunned by
the move and a statement she responded the rescinding of this
invitation and the cancellation of the event where I was
scheduled to speak was not primarily an attack against me,
but rather against the very spirit of the indivisibility of
justice. She said Davis will instead appear at an alternative
event in Birmingham in her honor.
Man doesn't go on crazy. I've been working on this. This
document is produced by the equity office in Austin. I can't
go through it today. But man, we're a bunch of racist people
here in Austin. If you read this report, everything's
institutionalized. All racism in Austin is institutionalized
race. cyst it is yeah. Yeah. I mean, when you read it like,
yeah, I don't know if it's, you know, he, I don't know. I'm
marking it up. There's a lot to go through. I'll see if it's I
think it's show worthy. Some of it. Some of it's just crazy. But
yeah, Austin is kind of the pinnacle kind of the prime
example segregated schools. I call these rich people who have
Beto in their in their yard sign they all their kids are in
wheezing or like 100% white schools are pa
Yeah, you don't want to mix.
I'm glad I don't have kids that are going to school, but like
I'm ridiculed other people.
So here in California, I just had my one last clip is Gavin
Newsom. You wonder why the lot of Latinos are wanted to come to
California and fill up the steak do they have to vote Democrat,
of course, illegally, but that's just the way it works here. But
Newsom is giving away free medical to everybody.
In California Governor Gavin Newsom introduced a health care
proposal on his first day in office that would strengthen the
Affordable Care Act and expand health care access for
undocumented youth up to the age of 26. California's Medicaid
program currently covers undocumented youth up to the age
of 19. The plan would also restore the individual mandate
in California, which was revoked in the 2017. Republican tax
bill.
Wow, you guys got your own country going over there?
Oh, yeah. Apparently, de Blasio shouldn't try and do same thing
in New York. Same kind of thing. Oh, New
York, by the way.
You get free medical,
most segregated schools in the United States in New York. Yeah,
well. The judge Yeah, maybe you got you east and west coast as
you should get together. I'm feeling pretty good here in the
flyover part of the country.
I think we should be in pretty good separate kind of a split
state with a big middle. I
do have a report and got it since we're here. We have a few
more minutes. Here's a couple things I can do other stuff
we'll move over to Sunday. Modern modern problems, modern
modern problems in the UK.
Well, we've got a monster of a fat Berg under the seafront.
Here in Sidmouth. It's about 64 meters long, we think, which is
the equivalent of about six double decker buses. So this is
created by fat, but also with wet wipes and things. So our
message particularly around toilet, and pee, the way people
use toilets is to only flush the three P's that is P paper and
pu, nothing else, everything else needs to go in the bin. And
the same applies with fat in the kitchen sink. Don't pour hot fat
down the kitchen sink, it needs to go into a container and also
put in the bin.
This is really
not true. What you can emulsify fat with some soap and hot water
and it's just as fine to dump it down the drain.
Have you seen any of these fat Berg's in the sewer? So 60
meters long?
Because people put fat down the drain where they don't emulsify?
Well, what's getting
blamed for it is toilet wipes. That's That's what that's the
one thing I keep hearing us toilet wipes toilet wipes toilet
wipes? Are we are they gonna go the way of the straw? I'll
betcha they are. This way. This is our this is our exit
strategy. We need recyclable toilet wipes or something like
that. Or that we may
go yeah, you take care of you wipe your butt and then you're
washing the dented in the washing machine a few times. And
then you can use it again.
Now or should or maybe better. Now, people aren't going to do
that. We should have some kind of butt wipe where it's kind of
like a mitten. And so after you've wiped then you fold it
inside out. Again, no, then you can dispose of it in the bin. So
the whole thing is just man I think maybe Dan wants to get one
of those
already sounds like an expensive item.
This is doesn't sound like a great exit strategy is thinking
No no, no, that's all these ideas have been.
Oh man like be so mean to me now.
I got some bad ones to
see Cheryl X. Yeah, show Atkinson is back on the vaccine
thing. Showing that, you know the, the researcher who was the
professor who was asked to testify on behalf of the
government told them that in some cases, vaccines do cause
autism and so she's it's not really new information. But
she's bringing it back and I'm happy she's doing that. Would
you like to hear that just now, you know,
I'm wondering why she doesn't do more general more stuff. She
focuses on this too much. But yes, well, somebody else is I
believe
the reason that she does this is because it was exactly the
stories that got her fired. heard in the first place. So she
is kind of the guy's got a bone to pick she does a two parter.
30 seconds on the first one.
Today we investigate one of the biggest medical controversies of
our time vaccines. There's little dispute about this much.
Vaccines save many lives, and rarely they injure or kill. A
special federal vaccine court has paid out billions for
injuries from brain damage to death, but not for the form of
brain injury we call autism. Now we have remarkable new
information. A respected pro vaccine medical expert used by
the federal government to debunk the vaccine autism link says
vaccines can cause autism after all, he claims he told that the
government officials long ago that they kept it secret. So for
those who don't remember Cheryl Atkinson, she worked for CBS
News and she was removed after it was the vaccine story. I
think that she got removed for thought it was a couple of
different things. But also then she claims that the government
was hacked, hacked her computer and there's some some evidence
of that. They will tracking her and wow. Well, here's here's the
second part she got and of course, she comes in with
Kennedy with the Kennedy kid who's who's, who understands
what's going on and is obviously a problem for everybody. A
reminder that in the United States of Gitmo nation, vaccines
are pretty much indemnified if you die or become otherwise Ill
from a vaccination. The pharmaceutical companies have
indemnity it's a governmental indemnity. There is a vaccine
court and they do dole out millions a year to people. And
this is not publicized as you can imagine. But if you have an
issue, there is a vaccine court. But no surprise, there may have
been some suppressed information and Atkinson is always on it.
Dr. Zimmerman was the government's top expert witness,
and it testified that vaccines didn't cause autism. The debate
was declared over expression. But now Dr. Zimmerman has
provided remarkable new information. He claims the
during the vaccine court hearings all those years ago, he
privately told government lawyers that vaccines can and
did cause autism and some children. That turned about from
the government's own chief medical experts stood to change
everything about the vaccine autism debate, if the public
were to find out,
and he has come forward and explained how he told the United
States government that vaccines can cause autism in a certain
subset of children, and United States government, the
Department of Justice suppressed his his true opinions.
Hazlehurst discovered that later when Dr. Zimmerman evaluated
Yates as a teenager, that's when he partnered with vaccine safety
advocate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, who has a voice condition.
This is one of the most consequential for all odds.
I want them to introduce me that way. We should just do that for
all these clips. And here she is, who has a voice condition.
Yes. If there's like a Hummer.
Yeah, David Yates was a teenager. That's when he
partnered with vaccine safety advocate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr,
who has a voice condition.
This is one of the most consequential frauds arguably in
human history.
Kennedy was instrumental in convincing Dr. Zimmerman to
document his remarkable claim of the government covering up is
true expert opinion on vaccines and autism. Dr. Zimmerman
declined our interview request and refer just to his sworn
affidavit. It says on June 15 2007, he took aside the
Department of Justice or DOJ lawyers, he worked for defending
vaccines in vaccine court, he told them that he discovered
exceptions in which vaccinations could cause autism. I explained
that in a subset of children, vaccine induced fever and immune
stimulation did cause progressive brain disease with
features of autism spectrum disorder.
There's panic to DOJ attorneys, and they immediately hired
Zimmerman they told a call that was a an over the weekend and
they call it Zimmerman and said his are no longer be needed.
They wanted to silence him. Now just
contrast that with the Golden Globes and we've got flu shots
for everybody. That's how you have to kind of look at the
world.
Yeah, slightly different. Well, it's like the 5g reporting from
the CES comprador show. Well, it's also Atkinson was fired
over her insistence about the Benghazi. Right. bitching about
being Obama apologist. She didn't realize that CBS is in
the bag and She resigned.
So, news came out this weakness the final to follow up to that
clip $30 billion spent last year in pharmaceutical marketing 30
billion. But here's the interesting part. More than half
of that 18 billion was marketing towards doctors. And a lot of
that 18 billion was not ads. It was junkets speaking
engagements, all kinds of money. Yeah. 30 billion of as
documented. I mean, if if the President could do any favor to
the American people, it would be to disallow advertise we're the
only country with is what's the other is it Australia? Because
one other
countries that allows this sort of thing? Yeah.
That's just it's not healthy. My God, all I see on television is,
you know, fried food, chocolate bars, and then pharmaceutical
ads is kind of like in succession. Eat this. You'll see
us soon with this shot for this thing.
Yeah, the media is way too dependent on this stuff. And I
think, you know, 75% of all medical students are on some
kind of antidepressant.
I mean, it's built need to know that it's
built into the system. These guys are going in thinking,
great, man. Sorry, I'm
late. But come on in. I think it's your turn where you are. I
am in your record here. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
With thanks to Brian long and Necker. Ruthie van Statten.
