I love Clinton. You love Clinton. There's a song there.
Adam curry, John C. Devorah. It's
Thursday, January 31 2019. This is your award winning get nation
media assassination episode 1108. This
is no agenda. Where to work white guys experiencing
aging and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone Star
state here in downtown Austin J House in the kludi. Oh, in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where the polar vortex can't
touch us. I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
Sure it can. Polar Vortex can touch anybody, anytime,
anywhere.
It's a big dam that broke according to the global warming.
Oh, a dam that broke no less. Yeah, said Damn that broke.
Well, before we get to that, I'd like everyone to know this show.
Episode 1108 is dedicated to the memory of Sir Greg Davies, the
heavy metal historian. He passed away a couple days ago and I
want to read a note from his partner Dame Jennifer Ouida of
the Gypsy nation. That John Adams and the no agenda family
I'm deeply saddened to let you know that my fiancee sir Greg
Davies, the heavy metal historian passed away in his
home on the morning of January 29 2019. The Barrett's esophagus
condition may have indirectly contributed to Greg's death, but
the most likely immediate cause was a heart attack. He was only
41 years old. In his short time upon this earth, Greg was a
dynamic force in the lives of so many people, many of whom have
reached out to me since the news broke from his hometown of
Perth, Australia, to the UK to all around the US and indeed,
all around the world. condolences and fond memories
have come in. I'm touched and honored by all of the support
expressed by those who knew him even if he was even even if it
was only online. But the no agenda community support has
been especially comforting during this difficult time. One
of your producers have suggested that donations in the amount of
$20.99 be made to the show and Greg's honor. The reason for
this particular donation amount is inspired by Greg's Common
Internet handle CGT 2099. He had a huge internet presence and
worked in it so it's only fitting that a memorial donation
in this amount has been promoted. He would have saluted
this with two horns up. Memorial arrangements have not yet been
finalized, but his family and I have decided upon a huge party
open to anyone who wishes to come I will post details online
once we have the date set I know Greg contributed several jingles
and pieces of artwork over the years. So can we have a 69 dudes
and a Putin Don't worry be happy in his honor. And can we also
have some Estate Settlement goat karma with much love and
appreciation Dame Jennifer Ouida of the Gypsy nation in Lawton
Oklahoma Absolutely. Blown away Don't worry
you've got karma
and he will be missed.
Yeah, I believe he's the one who did the artwork for show 10th
anniversary show.
There you go. Yeah, emailed with him just couple weeks ago. Yeah,
he was only knighted Yeah, just around Christmas time. Well,
fuck that. Sorry.
Not good. No. All right. Well, Oh, wow.
You just got real loud all of a sudden what are you doing? Why
are you doing this to me? Easy, easy partner. Back off just back
off, man. Just a bit. Yes. Back to the polar vortex then.
Yeah, the polar vortex apparently is freezing.
Everybody do some weather reports including some that
include the weather here. Let's start with the weather weather
weather.
That's bad weather global warming report from NBC news
and bad weather then global warming reports
across the globe. The weather picture is one of Fire and Ice
bone numbing record cold in the Midwest. Fire and record heat
and Australia 120 degrees and hotter this month. What that
really means
is that fires will be uncontrollable. There'll be fast
moving
and yo yo weather cycles after the deep freeze in the US a 50
degree rebound in some cities within days. Hard to believe
when you're frozen like an icicle. But experts say that
arctic blast is in fact further evidence of climate change. In
response to President Trump's skepticism. The Weather experts
at NOAA tweeting winter storms don't prove that global warming
isn't happening. at the North Pole site to say the melting sea
ice and ocean temperatures have caused the walls of the
Jetstream or polar vortex to break open like a Damn in places
that has allowed us to escape Russia south into the Midwest,
not only
is greenhouse gas warming impacting the planet, but it's
really beginning to kick in and it's kicking in and the parts of
the planet that are most sensitive, in particular, Arctic
sea ice regions and the Arctic.
You know, I just believe it all so fine. Perfect. You know, I'm
all it's anybody
note that it has the elements of, you know, 1984 were good is
bad and bad is good. And that, generally, you mean,
you mean, Newspeak?
Yeah, Newspeak has it? Yes.
What was the jingle we use? It's a double speakers. I think what
we used to call it and we had a jingle for that. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, isn't isn't that the same with just pretty much
everything.
So that what clip was that? That was?
Oh, here's the here's the jingle. You were talking about
that you go yeah, yes, I have horrible weather NBC on Dec. 20
seconds.
Play. Yeah, play that tax
holds millions that are dangerous and icy grip. A blast
of arctic air sweeping across the upper tier of the country
now rapidly pushing toward the northeast. The weather blamed
for at least six deaths. So far, windshields are dipping as far
as 50 below zero. So cold in Chicago that fires were actually
led to keep commuter rails from freezing.
You know, there was a story that happened over the past two days
about this actor who's in the I think it's what is it a Showtime
or HBO shows? Empire? Jussie Smollett Yes. If Fox it's all
Fox up, what do I know? So you just heard Chicago was 4050
below zero. Let's make it 20 below zero when this happened on
Tuesday, just make it easy. And he was out in Chicago in
Streeterville, by the way, which is very affluent neighborhood
Streeterville is not you know, the it's not this. It's not this
is not the Southside of Chicago 20 below zero in his in a subway
shop and then something happened and they can't find any. They
can't find any evidence of a so called lynching. Because he had
a form of rope around his neck. I'm thinking
engage with Trump hats.
Um, yeah, Mike Magga hats. I'm thinking, you know, let's you
and I let's just be racist for a moment. Hey, man, I got an idea.
Let's go wrap a rope around some black guy's neck. It's 20 below
02 In the morning, you ready? I'm all in you. Come
on. Well, it's pretty sketchy and it's a shame that he got so
much attention. Let's get back back to the weather. I do have
one last tip which is Amy So she's the one who would promote
the global warming stuff the most yes on the vortex. Yes.
What am I look? Oh here Amy on the vortex got it
back in the US. The polar vortex enveloping the Midwest is
causing record lows across the region with temperatures in some
areas including Detroit, dipping below temperatures in
Antarctica. The wind chill temperature in Chicago hit 49
degrees below zero. That's Fahrenheit this morning.
President Trump use the extreme weather to once again deny
climate change tweeting Monday. In the beautiful Midwest, wind
chill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees. The coldest
ever recorded in coming days expected to get even colder
people can't last outside even for minutes. What the hell is
going on with global Wei Ming? Wk minj please come back fast we
need you. Meanwhile raging wildfires in Australia have
caused record breaking heat bringing about widespread power
failed sciences.
I do have two clips regarding this is should you be interested
I do have an actual n o a scientist who appeared on NPR
and I've chopped a little bit of that. So we can listen to the
official explanation of the polar vortex and how it has
nothing to do with anthropogenic climate change slash global
warming. That's
unusual for those guys. They're all in on the anthropogenic
stuff.
Well, maybe I'm just being facetious. So the point is that
scientists don't you love her already. Yeah.
She's great. So
the point is that scientists in general have been referring to
the polar vortex in the stratosphere but because they
cause these colder outbreaks in the troposphere, the term polar
vortex has been somewhat adopted to explain this cold weather
outbreak. But it's really just a part of our weather system that
we get sometimes we get these cold extremes due to these lobes
of the Jetstream that gets separated from the main flow and
bring down these very, very cold air. Are you following
so it's really not polar vortex at all this is this is what
piqued my interest with ACU. Okay,
so here's the here's the key question then how related is the
phenomenon that we're experiencing now? How related?
Is it to climate change?
Hold on a second stop. So instead of listening to this,
this woman, give us a nice explanation and maybe shed some
light on the situation. We immediately jump. Yes. Who cares
about
your take taking up valuable NPR airtime lady, get to the
propaganda.
Yeah. So what's been interesting is that there is some agreement
that over the past 30 years or so, the polar vortex in the
stratosphere has weakened somewhat. However, what's less
clear is whether that's been caused by climate change, in
particular sea ice loss, or whether it's just some longer
term variability.
I love that the climate scientist is kind of 3%
uncertain about this.
And plus, one of the reasons that we wonder whether it's
really forced by by increased greenhouse gases, is because the
climate models running into the future do not see significant or
agreed upon changes in these cold air outbreaks occurring
more often. In fact, they overwhelmingly see that will
experience fewer and fewer colder outbreaks.
Okay, write this down. Write down January 31 2019. You heard
it here. Less polar vortex in our future to the future and
fewer
and fewer. Okay, okay. Yeah. Can you help explain that? I mean,
get back on script. be perfectly honest, I feel like I'm not
quite caught up with you on on the script.
Where are you in the script? I'm looking at the script here. And
I don't quite see exactly where you are in the pages, could you
please get back
it's called their outbreaks occurring more often. In fact,
they overwhelmingly see that we'll experience fewer and fewer
colds or outbreaks into the future,
fewer and fewer. Okay. Yeah. Can you help explain that? I mean,
to be perfectly honest, I feel like I'm not quite caught up
with you on why that might be. So could you explain that? Yeah.
So
in general, the response to when you put more co2 into the
atmosphere, you're going to warm the atmosphere. And that's going
to be true in all seasons. And in winter, as well. What some
people have proposed is that maybe because you're also
melting sea ice, that that can weaken the jet stream, and you
get some more of these cold air outbreaks. But whether the
models just don't have these processes, modeled correctly, or
whether this really isn't going to be a big influence, we
generally don't see any weakening of the, of that vortex
in these climate models.
Okay, because I guess what I'm, what I'm saying is, as you
almost certainly know, every time we have one of these
extreme cold weather events, there are people out there,
including the President of the United States, who say, you
know, like global warming or climate change, what gives,
like, how can we have these extreme cold events if we also
have climate change? But But are you saying that there is some
kind of relationship between the two? I'm saying it's
possible. It's an interesting idea.
I think it's a it's an interesting idea. You know,
we're already into spending hundreds of billions of dollars
on this bullshit, interesting
area of science where there's not a lot of consensus right
now, in terms of what will happen in the future. And with
climate change and closer outbreaks. In general, I think
there's going to be less cold extremes than there are but the
weather is noisy. And so your
weather is noisy. Now, this is new, I like this.
Have these very cold extremes occur on occasion, it's just
going to be fewer and fewer of them.
Weather is noisy. Okay. Since we're on the topic, she
mentioned the models. You know how everybody talks a little bit
more than they should when they're on podcasts? It's always
it's always fun to listen. And Freakonomics the Freakonomics
podcast had a Z, Kate Marvell on she is a climate scientist at
Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space
Studies. And she sadly had to admit that the climate models
suck till
we don't know exactly how hot it's gonna get. And a lot of
that is because of human behavior. We don't know what
humans are going to do. But even if you take out all the
uncertainty surrounding humans, there's still uncertainties in
the physical climate system. And this is really embarrassing,
because people are like, come on climate scientists, like you had
one job. And we're working on it right. But the wildcard is
really clouds because when we talk about global warming, we
mean climate change, and a lot of stuff is going to change.
when it warms up, and one of those things it's going to
change is clouds. And clouds are really important in the climate
system, because they both warm the planet, and they cool the
planet at the same time.
So why is it such a wildcard, what will be the variables that
change the behavior or the proliferation, whatever of
clouds that might dictate temperature.
So clouds are so hard to understand, they're really hard
to shove in a climate model, because they're both really
small, right? They're nucleated by tiny, tiny grains of sand or
dust. But at the same time, they're really, really big. They
cover a giant, giant portion of the earth. And it's really hard
within a computer model of the climate system to simulate
something that's both really small and really big. So
basically, we suck at it. We are really, really bad at modeling
clouds.
Yeah, that's all right.
You know what I'm sensing? Because you had an n o a person.
Now this one and then the, of course, the gung ho, woman from
NPR and the this guy,
is this as a, as a blitz, a PR Blitz?
No, I don't sense that what I'm sensing is the slowly backing
Oh, backing off.
Like, let's do this, don't do
that. Just let's just just, we can just
already,
this time, I used to be when I was a chemist at a union oil, I
was doing testing on certain things, and I made some factor
of 10 mistake, which is rarest. Oops, that's just they keep all
the records, I'm always afraid they're gonna catch up with you.
So they make this mistake, and you send this back to the
whatever facility it was it was looking for this information is
off by a factor of 10. And then you and then they all panic,
because it's like, oh, no, this is no good. And so then you
retest it, and you go, Oh, my God, I was wrong by a factor of
10. So you start doing the bit that I did,
which was was, can we learn from this? Do we need to take notes?
Which is, yeah, this might be useful for somebody, instead of
just admitting failure. Now,
hold on, what 1010 times what can you just tell us what this
was, there was
a sulfur content, probably. And it was off spec. That's the main
thing, right. And once it's off spec, they have to fix it. And
so you start giving him test results back on the new cause
they're all listed out, then they start throwing stuff back
at you, and you know that you're wrong. So you give them fake
results that are less and less and less and less over a period
of maybe six to 10. Just try to bring
down your your guru,
bring down your mistakes really little bit at a time, and boom,
you're good to go. Yeah, and this all takes place within a
couple of hours. So it's not like a killer, you know,
horrible. But I mean, I don't know how much money they lost on
this, because I know what they do with this stuff. But dad kind
of thing which happens. It has to be bet you have to back out
slowly. You can't all of a sudden say, hey, you know, we
realize that these climate models, these computer models
that we're basing all this stuff on are bogus. And they don't
work now that we've gotten more and more data, we're looking at
data for the last 20 years. There's none of this stuff works
because the computer models are notoriously bad for all kinds of
what are we going to do? No, no, don't do don't make that
admission. It looks like we scammed everybody. So let's just
back
slow, slow so we can could be possible. We'll keep our eyes
on it. Well, that was two examples.
Yes. Just in this week alone, of course, kids in America and and
some kids from Sweden are severely and some politicians
even AOC severely traumatized by the most recent report that we
had, from our own government saying within 12 years, but what
they really said within within 12 years, if we haven't fixed
it, then the world GDP may drop by about 5% Which didn't say
that we're all gonna die. Wow. Yeah, it kind of didn't say
that. But doesn't matter. The trauma is there and there's
enough repetition of the message of we're all going to die.
However, in Belgium, the kids are loving the global warming
climate change. They're on their third week of protest.
Yeah, you don't have to go to school.
This is a just a little bit of tossing back and forth between
the Euro new studio and a guy in Brussels and these kids are all
you know, they're like they're happy the jumping around they
have on the written on their cheek save us. They've got peace
signs on drawn on the cheek. They're dead.
By the way, we should mention it. We've been doing this report
on pretty much every show. We should mention. It's freezing
there and they're all bundled up. They're
all they've had some big scarves and all hooting and hollering
and they're hammering it up in front of the camera. The guy
can't even hear the studio because they have the day off
yet again.
Apart from kids and students missing school, why do you think
this protest has attracted so much support?
I'm sorry, I can't hear you. But I can tell you. For the first
week in a row, the students came in the streets of Brussels.
According to the police, they're guessing 30,000 Students would
be here in Brussels. They come from all over the country too
much.
They got they got vuvuzelas now the blowing in the guy's face
ready to come back as often as necessary. Once they will see
the government moving forward into more ambitious policy for
the time.
They loving it, they haven't at the time of their lives.
This may be an element another element of trying to back out of
this. Oh my goodness, interesting. DS kid this is now
becoming a nuisance.
Oh, yeah. They're they're not to be taken seriously as
protesters. They're truants
that well, this this is yeah, we have a truancy problem. Now we
have these kids completely out of control. we overdid it, we
turn the knob up too high.
Some of them are committing suicide and some of them are
just not coming back to class or anything that just become you
know, truant.
vagaries unintended consequences. They deal with
You're so right. So things you can freak people out about.
So there you go.
That's our weather report. Yes,
it's it's getting a little warmer in Texas though. We're on
50 degrees. So to get warm, we're right underneath the
vortex so we're all broke. You'd be flooded with cold air. Oh, if
that got someone's got to stick his finger in the dam. No, no,
it's dike.
Well, that too. We've had some rain even though the couple of
weeks ago. They said no more rain. We're done for this year.
But no, we got rain.
Weather is not climate. Weather is noisy.
So I was listening to a bunch of obscurities, too, and I caught.
We talked about this a little bit on the DHS unplugged show.
But we didn't play anything. But I thought this would be a good
little piece of educational information. Because I didn't
really fully understand what are some of the elements that had
changed with the cost of living
people live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck and are in debt
because of stupid shit they're told to buy.
Now. Oh, sorry, this is more about how the how the inflation
rate is calculated, and how it doesn't really match with what
we would wages. What we think is well, no, it doesn't match match
what, what we think of as inflation. Where to do stuff?
I mean, because the true at one, two and three money supply.
Yeah. Well, that's, you know, you talk about the money supply.
But that's the government telling us that no,
no, everything's fine. Everything's fine. Yeah.
Well, so I, John Williams, who's this guy, statistician,
economist, he's in San Francisco, he does shadow stats.
And that's the ones we refer to once in a while we bring up the
real unemployment numbers and other things such as that. And
such
as and such good use of and such. Yeah.
And so I got this little clip of him on some podcasts was some
guy who really wasn't doing a very good job of interviewing
you. But But I thought this would be something for this
show, because I thought it was a very good explanation of the
cost of living and and how inflation works, and how their
calculation has changed. And I didn't even know this stuff,
stuff myself
in 1980s, they changed. They wanted to change the way the
cost of living adjustment was calculated for Social Security
recipients, among others. Yes. I think the way Newt Gingrich put
it was where we can only get a more accurate CPI in there,
meaning a lower, lower rate of inflation, it'll help us cut the
budget deficit. Well, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's
what they did. Historically. And then you had you have inflation
and cost of living in indices, you go back literally, a couple
of centuries. The whole concept of behind the CPI was to measure
the cost of maintaining a constant standard of living, so
that you could use a very crude example. You might take a gallon
of milk, a loaf of bread, a gallon of gas, and price and a
pound of steak, meat price prices at in one year. That he
priced them out the next year, and whatever that basket had
gone up by would be the increase in the cost of living. What
Greenspan argued was that well, that's that's not the way to do
it. Again, this is where most people view it. Its way it had
been for centuries. He said, Well, if people find that prices
Steak goes up there, we're going to buy more chicken or or
hamburger. And they do that then then their cost of living isn't
rising as much. But guess what? I don't view eating hamburger
instead of a steak because I can't afford the steak as
maintaining a constant standard of living. The whole idea of
introducing substitution, they're not a couple of
percentage points. It's and then they changed the quality
assessment of things had computers adjust quality and
things that people really don't notice.
Okay, let me see if I understand what he's saying. He's saying
that when inflation goes up, people eventually resort to
cheap shit. Gee, cheese, mac and cheese, something like
that. Yeah, exactly. Was that. But the argument was made and
this was in the 80s because Newt Gingrich decided that hey, the
social security people we keep jacking up, we're gonna have to
send them. Is there any way we can knock this number back to
CPI, the Consumer Price Index, right, knock this number down,
somehow, so we don't have to keep giving Social Security
recipients more money. But it's fun to do. And that's what they
did. But they did it with this cheating this? Oh, well, look,
your standard of living hasn't changed any you're just eating
chicken.
You're eating. John that now we understand. Bugs? Bugs. Now. We
know what bugs
is coming like well, and oh, those wool sweaters. Cotton will
work. Yeah.
But this this is the whole theory behind bugs.
Yeah, eating bugs. Yes. Your standard of living hasn't
decreased because you have to eat cockroaches. Not
cockroaches. John. It's it's protein we eat. You eat yummy,
everybody.
That's what happens
with your taste like blue inflation.
I didn't realize I kind of knew some of this, but I didn't know
the substitution angle, which
I thought was that's a great angle. Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, you're still eating meat and meat. You still
went protein. We went from, you know, big American cars. And
then we got, you know, plastic Japanese cars, which eventually
turned out to be really good. And now it's like, well, I can't
really afford the Japanese car. Let me go back to the cheapass
American car.
Yeah. Ajio.
Gog, I raced in a Gio indigene. Now, yes, MTV. We follow the
Indy circuit one year, and it was one year they had the race
in Denver, the street race in Denver. And they had the
celebrity race.
And that wasn't a Grand Prix or IndyCar Grand Prix style. Well,
it was on the streets. It would be Grand Prix more than
Indy. Well, it was the cars whatever it was the same cars.
Yeah. For you, you had a Gio Yeah.
So it's, you know, it's like the guy, the drummer from white lion
Johnny Gill, you know, I'm sure one of the motley crew guys was
there. And I had the incar camera. I gotta find that
footage because I of course, I went around the corner and
crashed into the wall and kept going. You did? Yeah, the the
stick shift had come up about two feet. But otherwise it's
still drove with the commentary. Because when you're in the car
and you skidding around you hit the wall and you bounce off. It
feels like Wow, man, this was spectacular. Then you see the
footage on TV. And the commentators literally like what
because Gio, they go yeah, how slow it looks then like what it
looks like I'm a grandma who's lost control. And the guys who
are gonna call the official race, like, oh, there's Adam
curry from MTV. Oh, okay. Like one of those like, dude can't
even hold on to the wheel. Got my geo story. Hey, go geo story.
I have one clip, which I think is important for something that
is dropped off the radar a little bit here in the United
States of Gitmo nation, which is the wall the President's wall.
And we know that what has happened now is he has caved, he
said I want to negotiate we'll talk about it. You know, he's,
he's threatening a little bit there with his with his state of
emergency and of course, judges everyone's getting like, oh,
this can't happen. You can't do this or I just a lot of noise
because weather is noise. And I think I know what is The plan is
then it came out in a hearing, congressional hearing with
Representative Mo Brooks think he's from Alabama. And he was
questioning the Undersecretary of Defense John Roode. About a
very specific law, which explains when you listen to
this, it's been a minute and a half, which explains the
President's consistent push about the drugs that are coming
across without a wall to drugs. And I think there was no there's
a couple of big fentanyl busts, although they may not have been
outside of the ports of entry. Right. So there's you Right,
right. So there's a very specific law. And it's explained
here, and then we can walk through some of the details,
I want to direct your attention to 10 United States Code 284,
which authorizes President Trump to deploy the military to the
southern border, to build fences and to do a lot of other things.
And for clarity, if you look it up in the dictionary, the word
fence includes the word barrier, and the word barrier includes
walls made of a variety of different materials. So that
having been said, it seems to me that 10 US Code 284 can be used
by the president united states to direct the United States
military to build a wall. Now, as of today, you've mentioned
military forces along the southern border, have any of
them been deployed pursuant to 10? USC 284?
Congressman, I don't believe any of our forces have been deployed
pursuant to 10 USC 284. You are correct, however, that that use
of authority would authorize the Secretary of Defense to erect
barriers, roads, fencing, those type of materials to disrupt
drug smuggling
does 10 us? Excuse me, 10 USC 284, as you understand it
require the declaration of a national emergency before it is
implemented. No, it does not. No. Has President Trump to your
knowledge ever use 10 USC 284 to direct the military to build the
wall that is necessary for border security?
No, not to my knowledge, Congressman,
if President Trump would direct the Pentagon, United States
military pursuant to 10 USC 284, to build such barriers, as are
necessary to secure our southern border from drug trafficking and
international crime cartels, would the United States military
obey that order?
If we judge it to be a lawful order? Yes, sir. And I assume it
would be I love how they do these hearings, because the It
Works the whole intent of this kind of questioning, not like mo
didn't know what he was asking is to get it to people to pay
attention, and looked up at 10. United States Code section 284
support for counter drug activities and activities to
counter transnational organized crime. And just to give you an
idea, the Secretary of Defense may provide support for the
counter drug activities or activities to counter
transnational organized crime of any other department or agency
of the federal government, or any state local tribal law law
agency for any of the purposes set forth in the following
subsection. So the President can call upon this. And indeed, what
can be done with it is quite quite broad. I see. And we have
Oh, hold on. I just messed that up. Yes. Here's the just types
of support. We have the maintenance repair of equipment
that's been made available Okay, preserving potential future
utility maintenance or anything, transportation of personnel, the
united states and foreign countries and the transportation
of supplies and equipment, to this is what the Defense
Department tick can do. When asked the establishment and
operation of bases of operations or training facilities for the
purpose of facilitating counterdrug activities or
activities to counter transnational organized crime.
We have detection, monitoring and communication of the
movement of air and sea traffic within 25 miles outside the
geographic boundaries, surface traffic, construction of roads
and fences and installation of lighting to block drug smuggling
corridors across international boundaries, establishment of
command control, communications and computer networks for
improved integration of law enforcement, active military and
National Guard, aerial and ground reconnaissance. I mean,
it goes on and on. All you have to do is say it's just say,
we've been we've been given set up, set up, bamboozled.
Now I want to ask you a couple of things here. Yeah. Now,
obviously, this whole thing was theater. For the purposes of
hey, we already did it in a hearing we you should have been
paying attention. Where are you morons? And so the mainstream
media of course doesn't pick up on this only the note gender
show.
Why would they? That doesn't sound right now we're still
talking about nationally,
when it is when this pretty ticular SEC section of the US
Code was put in place. Does it have a date when it was when
this was actually made into law?
Let's see. Let me see source credit. What do we have? Maybe?
Of course, these things change over time, which I like no one
was initiated. I see a lot of 2016. Quite honestly, just
looking here. These are when changes were made. I don't know
which ones but a lot of changes were made in December of 2016.
I, you caught me off guard, I need to look at that.
Well, I wouldn't expect you to be expecting that question. But
I'm guessing if it's 2016. Yeah, definitely been.
We've been bamboozled. No wonder he was so confident. Yeah. Now
I'm sure that the Ninth Circuit and you know, everybody else,
we'll just be all over this.
Hey, it's been sitting there for two years. You didn't do
anything about it.
Now, better than that has been since in law, you just go change
codified as they like to say and all that. And there's no I don't
think there's from what I could tell there's no, there's no real
budget. The only thing? So military budget comes right off
the top, the Defense Department all they have to yes. Right off
the
US Army. So we're rounding errors. Guys are sitting behind
desks as we speak, it's
a rounding error. They do have to make a report to Congress and
say, here's the budget. That's what we're going to spend, I'm
gonna guess about 5.7 million at stage one, but just change the
change that just say, Okay, well, this is why you hear him
going towards drugs, drugs, drugs, the drugs and drugs, the
drugs, right. And he's been saying this from day one. So I
think you're right, I think this was set up. It was, I have to
look at the history of the bill. Maybe one of our trolls can do
that. And one of the producers in the troll room. See if
there's any significant changes made? Maybe it's been around
forever? I don't know. But it looks like there's a lot of
doubt. Don't you love it?
Yeah, again, flat footed. Yeah. So he gets to make the point
that I think it here's a couple of points you'll make. He says,
Well, you know, we we had to do a government shutdown, they
still wouldn't agree to the wall. So we can't credit them
with the wolf under any circumstances. And we'd lost $3
billion in non recoverable something costs, right. Do the
shutdown, and that 3 billion could have been put toward the
wall. If if these Democrats would have just played ball
here. Yeah. I mean, he's playing a long game if this is the case,
which is it's a good game to play.
Well, what else what other game is there? It's so much better
than in a national emergency. This is clearly set out. You
just say Oh, got it. Got a cop. I mean, transnational, organized
crime. The Coyotes you could argue are that, yes, it's
transnational. It's organized and it's a crime. Yeah, it's not
El Chapo. But it's a crime.
No, it's not at the level of El Chapo. Yeah, exactly. So very
good. I'll give you I'm going on.
I don't have a
good clip. Yeah. Well, I was on the on the switchback.
You mean? What do we call we used to call it the whipsaw, a
wrapper around the the wraparound switchback whipsaw,
whipsaw. So there was a good example there, which I thought
was the most shameless, and I'll probably explain what a
switchback is just okay. This is where you say, and today, Adam
curry admitted that he hates dogs. And then I, and then I did
here's a clip of him. Now go to the clip of you a quote for you
going, Hey, I don't hate dogs.
No, I don't really hate him. Something like that.
Yeah. Anything, anything that's got nothing to do with what I
just said. Yeah. So I say one thing for its extra
points if I if I'm talking about a completely different topic,
right.
When you say, you know, I like cats. Yeah. Exactly. You know,
or something. I mean, it's, it's,
it's put in there. It's put in there to fill up the report and
to solidify in your brain, the information they're giving you
which is marginally Correct.
I consider a dishonest reporting.
And this is coming from you. A reporter a journal?
Yes, I was. Yeah, I was actually at some level. But I but it's
dishonest, I think is very dishonest. So we have an example
after example of this seems to depress some of our producers,
but I love it. I like it. Anyway. So this is Hallie
Jackson, who's one of the best at this doing a piece because
They had this disc left handed picked up on this. Trump's Intel
advisors all disagree with everything he's ever had to say.
What the heck was this? I mean, they just say let's, let's give
it one more try boys.
I don't know what it was because it was out of the blue is one of
the many things that he doesn't listen to advice, I guess it's
part of the Trump rotation or he's a headstrong and he's got
these great Intel people and he doesn't think of course they're
out to get him which I think is one good reason not to believe
anything they say but which I don't think they helps their
cause much. So how he has not what I'm gonna play is a series
of clips that are continuous, but I'm wanting a shot. I'm
chopping them up to show the switchbacks Okay, and so it's
going to be seems a little Herky jerky. But in fact, if you put
them all back to back to back to back to back all five of these
short clips, they would be the report. And so I'm going to
start it off with clip one. And it's going to end when and each
one of these is another example of saying one thing and then
exemplifying it with a quote from somebody that doesn't
really verify anything you've said. Here we go through his
own intelligence chiefs, publicly contradicting the
president on his threat assessments of North Korea and
Iran. The President lashing out President lashing out selling
them to go back to school, and Hallie Jackson has that fallout.
The President calling the intelligence officials he hired
passive and naive suggesting in a tweet today they go back to
school after they publicly contradicted him, not just on
Iran, I withdrew
the United States from the horrible one sided Iran nuclear
deal at
the moment, technically, they're in compliance. But
again, besides the lashing out, which is a giveaway code word,
yeah. He said she brings up the she says that a rally says that
the they've contradicted him on his Iran pull out, you know, he
wants to get killed the deal, right. And they quote, Gina I
think, surnamed the head of the CIA as saying that you're in
compliance with something.
I don't know where that came from.
It's like, So what So what,
but on ISIS, we hope
sorry, I want to play that one clip again. Omaha and just roll
back that last bit of the clip, here
we go. After they publicly contradicted him, not just on
Iran, I
withdrew the United States from the horrible one sided Iran
nuclear deal
at the moment, technically, they're in compliance.
Okay, so what what should have happened here is on Iran should
have gone straight to Gina Haskell with her quote, but
instead they insert the inserted Trump yelling his opinion on
Iran. And then to the contrary, even
if he didn't yell his opinion on Iran what to make of what the
old deal
had no idea we don't know. It's Hey, it's NBC fact true. Trumps
dumb idiot, orange, man, bad. Orange Man bad. Onward to
two but on ISIS.
We have won against ISIS. We've beaten them and we've beaten
them badly
ISIS into is intent on resurging
intent on resurging. Man, this is so good.
Deer intent on research. Of course they are they've done
hippie buddies intent on resurging,
they've really done I am. This is this is a formatted this. So,
where's the switchback or the call back or the whipsaw used to
be a triple clip of Trump saying something unrelated just
to be somebody making an assertion assertion reporter
says this, Then they play that
right. But now Now they're doing two together. This is
more advanced. Yes, this makes it even worse. She says this.
Yeah, Trump then says kind of something along the lines of
what she said. And then they have a switchback quote that has
nothing to do with it.
Well, we have to call it's like a switchback reach around
because it's to next that's what we're calling it from now on SBR
row the switchback reach around because that's what do we have?
How like coming up with one thing and then Okay, so let's go
on to number three might be better example
on Russia.
We expect Russia will continue to wage its information war
against democracies.
Wait a minute, I couldn't hear what the first part was.
It was just something about Russia as you know, as it would
if they didn't have a good Trump clip that time so they played
that muddy clip you heard we played against Russia?
Why can't it what is it? I don't know. It's just a money clip of
someone saying something Russia.
Yeah. And then they'd have the other guy saying the we think
the Russians are gonna continue their attack on democracy is
using me, you know,
yeah, we were in the meeting, we would have both said okay. We
like it but not that one just you got it. You got to kill your
darlings one of these has to go. This is not the best switchback
reach around. You've done. What's her name? What's her name
again?
Holly Jolly pally,
it's not so good. So we'll drop that one.
Let's go to four and on
North Korea, North Korea is working out
very well. The capabilities and threat existed a year ago are
still there.
Behind the scenes. Multiple sources tell NBC News
intelligence officials felt frustrated by the President's
tweets and debated a response but in the end, decided that
would be counterproductive. So stayed silent. Republicans did
not.
It's the best we have. And of course, we need to rely on them.
Man now, this was advanced. Because it was hold on they
start with Trump
and on North Korea, North Korea is working out very well. Okay.
So just Orange Man bad hand believe he said that. How can
you say this and then
capabilities and threat existed a year ago are still there
behind the scenes that
morale it sounds like morale. Who was that?
No, no, I think it's the Navy guy. But it was like he says
that? Yes, of course they do. Because the deal. None of this
has been finalized. He's working with North Korea. So how is
this? You know, I don't get what they're trying to get at here.
Yeah, they all this. To me, it's unbelievable. Listen to these
and then they bring out this Republican who really just says
nothing at all. The capabilities
and threat that existed a year ago are still there.
Behind the scenes, multiple sources tell NBC News
intelligence officials
like the behind the scenes, multiple sources felt
frustrated by the President's tweets and debated a response
but in the end, decided that would be counterproductive. So
stayed silent. Republicans did not.
It's the best we have. And of course, we
need to rely on them.
The best we have, therefore, we need a realignment. So she made
the assertion that the intelligence crowd wanted to do
something about Trump's tweets, and then they didn't do of
course, you can always you know, great reporting. You got
nothing. Yeah. And then but the Republicans didn't stay silent
and they bring some Republican guy out. He doesn't really say
anything at all. And I'd hardly say that's an exemplification of
the Republicans shaking their fist. So she finally gets to
rapid with what they wanted to do all along, which was kind of
bring out Adam Schiff the draw? Yes, of course, let him say so.
And the democratic head of the House Intelligence Committee
warned rhetoric, like the President's is downright
dangerous,
unless the President is you've got the best intelligence
agencies in the world. Listen to what they have to say, when you
ignore them. You do that at our country's peril.
Hallie Jackson, NBC News, the White House?
Yes, we're going to die.
Well, she says his he says is downright dangerous. He ever
says it's downright dangerous. He kind of hints that it's not a
good idea. So this is just was just to me, poor. Well, it was
dishonest to the nth degree. And I believe NBC has the most
dishonest reporting of all the networks and I think you'll see
that on MSNBC the whole I'm surprised that they haven't gone
after Comcast, you know, it's, this is just very dishonest.
And what I think is happening here is you know, obviously the,
the intelligence community now which is not certainly not all
of it, people who work in intelligence, but these pencil
pushers at the top they all like they hate Trump, they work for a
different group of shadowy bankers, and the diff the other
ones and so and they and they sit there and they they try and
pull all this apart by having this transparent comp hearing.
But for the news media, it's very boring and they don't
really have the time to play anything in context. So instead
of like what we would do is like play you know, like like like it
paid two minutes of the representative mo over there
about this law. They chop it up into these 22nd sound bites with
you know with your with your whipsaws switchback reach around
and you just wind up being confused and thinking and does
try to make it entertaining I guess we're just trying to ram
home the it's really sound bite reporting too
dramatic to try to make it dramatic. Why can which is
entertaining? Yes. That's what you're gaining by definitely.
dramatizing something is is for the purposes of entertainment.
Exactly. And that's why tell story. Tell a story. Yes. Tell
the story. Tell the story. Tell a story. Tell the story.
Story. Hey, you're doing Wizard of Oz. Pretty good. That was
scarecrow. I liked dogs. We have some important since you brought
it up. You brought up how I hate dogs, which I don't love dogs.
Adam curry hates dogs just dude.
I just don't like him in the amount that they're in.
Now too many dogs too many dogs. Folks, you may be the canary in
the coal mine here, you know, Roy warning us about the dog
takeover.
Well, so here is stuff is happening. You know, my biggest
complaint is I live in a smoke free Pet Pet Friendly building,
which is fine. I'll smoke my weed on the balcony, no one's
ever really given any problems. But we have instead of a couple
people have a dog, we have 75% of all apartments in the
building have at least one sometimes more than one dog. And
we have carpeting in the hallway. So everything reeks of
urine, all the hallways the front door, you have to be
careful, don't slip and have to clean it every day. It's just
it's it's a nightmare. It's just too much. There are now
apartment buildings in California and in New York Upon
moving in, as a part of your lease agreement, you always have
to have you know, some some or usually you have to some kind of
deposit pet deposit in case your pet I don't know destroys the
carpeting. They will also require doggy DNA. So that if
something turns up in the hallway, and you can as a
concerned fellow dweller, you can grab a little sample, and
you can hand it to the rental office and they will within 10
to 14 days come back and prosecute the dog or the owner,
I guess.
So that's I think that's great.
I'm all for it. I'd like rapid DNA it should be you know, 20
minutes. This is where rapid DNA is important. And then second
one dogs are people too. This is something that we it's almost
there. We talked about it just a couple of shows ago. Since we
have so many dogs, I think we're at 90 million in the US. We have
so many dogs, let's help combat climate change by feeding them
bugs. So we're not quite there yet. Because you know less beef
is Less co2 Less farts and what are your cow farts? So now we
have Purina who are a big manufacturers or makers of pet
food. They are going to come out with dog food created from
crickets and fish heads.
Wow, crickets and fish that poop smells fabulous
and they are doing it indeed to help combat climate change.
Yeah, how good is that? Fish heads is my favorite part even
though it's not Yeah, I don't guess fish down to what fish do
for co2. Are they good or bad? They don't fart like cows
know they rot and give off methane I guess.
And then the final trend amongst where do they get
the you know, let's stop for a second consider this a lot of
people never want to even is like numbers you can't even
imagine. They have a processing facility where they make milk
they make millions probably of pounds of dog food that gets
packaged and it's on a you can imagine the facility and there's
bags going flying by and that thing's been filled and wrapped
in a pallet and sent off on a on a on a truck and in the process
of making the the pellets the kibble they have to bring in
probably tons and tons of smelly fish heads to process and they
have to cook them down because there's dry to dry food they
don't make a wet food right there we're thinking we're
talking about so they have to dry their debt that plant must
stink to high heaven and is probably getting into the area
where their plants located isn't there's obviously there's no
residences around there or would people would be suing them for
odor problems, odor abatement issues. This is just disgusting.
And then the bugs are gonna bring in a bunch of bugs,
crickets, crickets, crickets and fish heads. It looks like it's
got to be disgusting. Yeah, I want to hear something somebody
must know somebody that works at a Purina facility now that's a
good point. Yeah, we gotta get some inside scoop on this.
It doesn't the doesn't the Mars company own Purina
I don't know anymore. David J switch and so many times I can't
tell
it's always like I was suspicious of a candy bar
manufacturer that makes pet food I never really quite like that.
Well, I don't think I know they won't Jack in the Box for a
while or there was some connection there too.
Then the final trend in today's dog ownership and I think we've
reached peak dog ownership with this is glittering your mail
dogs testicles. What? Yeah, I gotta send you this link on the
Skype man. It's because there's they so when you watch Yeah,
when you look at the dog
doing this and Why
it's so cute. Yeah, you can you can see the picture just popped
up on your Skype with the blue glitter and the gold glitter.
Oh, this is gross it's, it's creepy. Yeah,
yes, dogs are great. It's the people that are the problem.
putting glitter on your dog's testicle is a trend now, you
know brother dogs
couple of things going on I saw I saw one of the things that
happens after the last show was I think it was after last shows
camallo Harris Kamala Harris Kamala or
Kamala see pronounced Kamala she pronounces it Camela
Okay, well, Camela like Pamela, yes. That's why she's doing
that. Okay. It used to be Kamala, yeah. Okay. Well, she
she she now says she's going to be running for president.
And then she went on the one of those great CNN scripted town
halls. Yeah. Where everyone, everyone has their question.
Ready?
Yeah, we're not going to talk her ask her about her affair
with Willie Brown. And
by the way, when you look at her, you see the pantsuit, you
see that when she claps her arms are fully extended, palms flat.
Very good. Very good. You know, like, she's like she's clapping
for a seal or something. Yeah. Hillary 2.0.
Yeah, no, she's got all the earmarks of Hillary copying
complete Hillary 2.0 is the problem with
Hillary who I've never considered to be a very good
speaker, because she speaks every word. Yeah. As a single
word. Can this Camela woman doesn't equate now she doesn't
even got that much skill
allow me to say something. I think she's got a lot going for
not from my obviously my personal perspective, but she's
she's good looking. She She does have a good rap. She's got the
she's got the all the arrogance you need. She really has a great
air of arrogance. superiority about her
district attorney arrogance. Yes.
Oh, yeah. Because she has a badge. You know, she can throw
people in jail. She's very powerful as a as a district
attorney. Yeah, let's just say you got a badge. Man. I'd be
walking around a little more cocky. Nowadays, you got a
badge. Baby. Got a badge.
So she's, uh, she says a lot of crazy stuff. But I was listening
to her speech, the Oakland speech and she does stuff like
this is her going to be our downfall? I think okay, she's
Well, besides, I think she's, she's a she use sex to get to
the top.
When former fault Yeah, with Willie Brown. Now Willie Brown
was
Les Brown runs California.
Really, he runs California pretty much well, who the hell
is he?
He used to be the speaker of the house. This is the State
Assembly. He was a top guy. And then he became mayor of San
Francisco. And he brought her up, groomed her by giving her a
bunch of jobs when they were kind of dating even though he's
married. And when she was he was 60 something and handleless. And
she was 30. And then she got a bunch of debt. So you
immediately accused her of sleeping her way to the top way
to mansplain. Dvorak?
Yeah. Okay. I do. All right. And venue, brown, Kate was mayor and
then the mayor after him was I believe Gavin Newsom. And Danny
with the whole thing of the whole problem is really, Willie
Brown has got a lot to do with it. But he's a very powerful
character. He knows all the means the world. The bodies are
very, he knows everything about California. And he's I've talked
to him a couple of times. He's around and about, you see him,
and he'll chat with you.
Have you chatted with him? Yeah, I've
chatted with him a couple of times. I've just run into him.
Oh, really? Good restaurant once in a while. There he is. And you
could just you know, you see RoamRight chat with him. Yes. So
here we
go. Yeah, you go over they say Hey, Willie, how was that piece?
So?
Yeah, well, you don't do that. Okay. Now. So this but I think
the bigger problem is I think she's a dingbat and and this
dingbat comes through with this particular she's, she's given a
speech and this is an excerpt from the speech where she asks a
question and then answers it and I am going to play it in two
parts. I got to her asking the question 15 seconds and then her
answering it and then you tell me, you explain to me what the
answer really means.
First, I would like to say the official definition of dingbat
is Stupid or eccentric person? So I think I think you're right
on both counts.
We are here at this moment in time, because we must answer a
fundamental question. All right. Are we? Who are we as Americans?
So let's answer that question.
Who are we? Who are we as Americans? Okay. That is, as
kind of a, an essay question isn't it's not multiple choice.
Yeah.
But she's gonna answer it in a kind of an offbeat way, I'd say
but you who are just remember the question is who are we as
Americans?
Okay, let's answer that question. To the world. And each
other, right here. And right now, America, we are better than
this.
You know, you know, I've heard this speech. I didn't never
really deconstruct it like that. Who are we? Well, we're better
than this.
array. And then the crowd goes nuts. Yeah,
we love that. Huh?
Yeah.
Whatever it is. We're better than this. That Yeah.
Never said whatever it is. Who are we? We're better than this.
That's who we are. We it's Wait a minute. You left something
out, lady. That's funny.
So then she did the CNN town hall. And she had when she was
taking questions, these things are we know they're scripted,
because Matt Lauer the start of the downfall of Matt Lauer is
when he deviated from the questions with Hillary. Yes,
you'll recall and she got quite angry. There's no There's no
proof of what was said backstage. But then Matt Lauer
is now now between us 67 And us 69, somewhere on the on the UHF
television band. If they're so they bring it so she doesn't
stir the pot. Whoo. And that's quite a drop. He's not even
that. So they bring in these people who are given questions
and now they just know this read their question. And this I
thought was very well done. It was another you know, get the
crowd all riled up and excited and hooting and hollering
question,
Senator, many Democrats that I've spoken with agree that the
primary objective for 2020 is to nominate the candidate that has
the best shot of defeating Donald Trump. Some have also
said that, given what occurred in 2016, in the current
political climate, that a male nominee will have a better
chance this time around than a female nominee. Would you please
respond to this so that this man has a responsibility the next
time a man tries to mansplain why a man would make a better
nominee? Man go.
Fan that is you could not virtue signal any better than that guy
just did. He's easy. He got sex from somebody. Yeah, probably
another guy. Well, maybe
it's irrelevant. What I mean, that was just hey, I suck. Tell
me how I make sure no one like me ever becomes president.
Whatever. Yeah, and then
surprising, get the white thing in there. Now we
followed Sandy Hook the Newtown tragedy very closely. And we
feel that there was quite a lack of evidence. I don't want to get
into it too deep because it's just such a hot button, but
we've discussed it ad nauseam. The most interesting thing about
the Sandy Hook was the if you recall Wayne Carver. He was the
medical. What's the what's the proper term? examiner? Yeah, he
was the chief medical examiner. And you remember that press
conference? He did where he had, everything was contradictory.
Had all the wrong answers was talking about wrong weapons,
hadn't really looked at anybody hadn't done autopsies on all of
the all of the victims. He was really, really odd. And one
thing we know for sure, well, here's what to Kamala Harris
says about gun laws and what she thinks should be done in
relation to the Sandy Hook
26 and seven year old babies were massacred. In Connecticut.
They fail to act. Here's what I think. I think that somebody
should have required and this is going to sound very harsh. I
think somebody should have required all those members of
Congress to go in a room in a locked room, no press, no one
nobody else and look at the autopsy photographs of those
babies. And then you vote your conscience. This has become a
political issue. I'm all for that.
I'm really for that because as far as I know there are no
photographs there are no oh to autopsy photographs. I would
love for some representatives to go in to a skiff, I presume, see
these pictures and then tell us what they saw. That was one of
the biggest problems with this thing is there's no photographic
evidence of anything.
And then they lower it. They flatten the building. Oh, well,
hey, it's what we do. That's what we do with all big
tragedies. Like 911. The rubble was gone so quick.
So in this camera, the camera Kamala camera comm Hamza catalog
Pamela
like Pamela Camela, Camela cam.
So I was listening to Ben Shapiro, who is going on and on
about a we have mixed feelings about him on the show. He was
going on and on about the Willie Brown situation and thinking it
should be answered. And
can I just say, I am becoming so disinterested. And I really
don't feel like we can survive two years of this bowl. The
American people that kind of turn TV's off. Yeah, I think
it's way too much way too early. And Ben Shapiro should know
better. Okay. Well, Ben
Shapiro is going on and on. And I was, and there's some basic
reason I don't like Ben Shapiro, because
he's an outrage whore. That's what I just it just hit me. He's
an outrage show. He may. He may be right. But he's always on the
outrage tip he's not he's a
little bit like the I agree. I'm not gonna argue about that. But
this is the thing that I think is his problem. He has a
problem. And a lot of right wingers have the exact same
problem. And I only discovered it by deconstructing this stuff
that he just did about her when he's going on and on about
Willie Brown. Is that, and he's not the only one who does this.
And we kind of do it, but we don't do it like these other
guys do it. Right. He uses sarcasm. To access
Oh, yes. Yes. Is this your right, this is a trend. I agree.
And it's not well done. That's the bottom
line. In fact, it's just very poorly done in and I'll take it
one step further and say that it actually produces reverse
messaging.
You know, before you play your, your, your clip, or is it here's
the here's that ISO, because you're right, because the whole
baby Hitler thing that was also kind of trying to be sarcastic,
but here's how it came out.
Would you kill baby Hitler? And the truth is that no pro life
person on earth would kill baby Hitler, right? Because baby
Hitler wasn't Hitler. Adolf Hitler was Hitler baby Hitler
was a baby. Right? What do you presumably want to do with baby
Hitler was take baby Hitler out of baby Hitler's house and move
baby Hitler into a better house where he would not grow up to be
Hitler. Yeah.
That's one of the great clips. It's a great cookie. Yeah. Well,
this is a little more extreme than that. This is. And this is
what he does, all the time. And a lot of guys do this all the
time. And when you just hear it straight up, like I'm gonna play
it. I'm taking all the context away. But how big is this clip?
24? Six. Okay. 24 seconds is a long clip. And even without
context, you just take the long clip, you start to see what the
problem is, when you use sarcasm constantly to make your points.
And the thing and what it did what he did, let me conclude.
What it is that happens is that you don't make the point, you
assert something that should not be asserted. And in fact, you
state something as fact, if you don't hear the sarcasm, it
sounds like what is this guy's nuts? But let's play this. And
I'll explain later,
as he should have to answer questions about that. And she
shouldn't be able to shy away with Angela. Oh, yeah. I fell
deeply in love with Willie Brown when he was 60. And I was 30.
And yeah, that's, that's a thing that happens all the time. I
know lots of six year old men. You know how many of them were,
you know, kind of middle class schlubs who aren't powerful men
in politics are getting 30 year old up and coming law student
girlfriends. Tons of them tons. Just it happens all the time.
Yeah. Yeah. Explain. Yes. I totally understand what you're
saying. The sarcasm.
What he said is a lie. Yeah. But he went what he was trying to do
is be sarcastic about the notion that she was as you're willing
to make some sort of sense. But he didn't do that. He just
decided to become sarcastic and make that crazy commentary. And
he ended it there. He didn't say at the be after it was over. He
didn't say and I'm kidding, of course because this never
happens. Right? Right. Right. He doesn't do that. He just assumed
that you get the joke of his sarcasm, which is very poorly
executed. The guy is not a comic
this you have hit on something. It's simple. Pardon me, I know
if it's important anybody else but yes, this is the problem I
have with Laura Ingraham with Sean Hannity. With all that
Paul, the horrible host who's on one America news, kind of the
cheap Tommy Lehren knockoff Tommy Lehren. Another perfect
example. The sarcasm is so poorly executed and not
necessary and it's almost it's condescending. Like, everybody
knows this, you know that? Don't you know this? You listen to me,
you know that. That's kind of the feeling I get from it. And I
think you're right.
I agree. 100% with everything you just said, it's
condescending. It assumes that you are on on the same
wavelength. It's never explained. And it's, and most of
all, it is unnecessary. Sarcasm is really a technique used for
humor.
It's it's very weak as it's bad broadcasting.
Yes, it's very bad broadcast broadcast. Even Limbaugh I don't
believe does it?
No, no. It's the guys and gals. I don't listen to Yeah, because
that's and now you're right. That's why to now like, don't
tell them it's like, it's like if we disagree. If there's a
question, we'll actually stop talking about who is this? What
do you mean? What if you just do well? And by the way, it's not
just there's one that you had the other groups like, pod save
America. They do this all the time. And I think hey, you know,
what, what if we just everyone stopped that sarcasm?
With the sarcasm was Miss Miss sarcasm. It's also
something that is on Twitter. This is you know, this is so
important what you've hit on here. Everybody thinks they're a
comedian. And the way people who are not funny exude their
comedic stylings is through sarcasm. So sometimes it's kind
of funny. So he tweeted, says, well, a reply to something.
Well, this didn't age. Well, it was funny the first 8000 times
someone used it. But in general, because the time is, you know,
you have limited character space or whatever people can't write
anymore. They always throw in sarcasm and it's not funny, it's
not helpful. It is something that people if you find yourself
a great hit, this is what I would assert. If you find
yourself agreeing with sarcasm like this a lot. You should
check yourself you should say hey, wait a minute. I'm just
because you're it's negative you being pulled into sarcastic
crap. It's I think it's like a warning sign if you're if you
find yourself like listening or watching a lot of sarcastic
opinions.
Yeah, and all the right wing guys. And I think a lot of the
lefties at that level, they have mentioned the Hannity's. This
guy, this guy is the king of it, because he uses it, I'd say half
of his show is just sarcasm, ya
know, and also shuts out any other thinking, because you
know, if you have a different opinion, and he said, just, we
all know that that doesn't happen, you know? Yeah, sure.
Normal guys get you know, 30 year younger. And it's like,
well, maybe have a different opinion. But the vault shoot,
you know, I guess everyone knows it, because he's even sarcastic
about it. I must be an idiot.
Yeah, there's that that's an element. Yeah. Well, thanks. So
I'm wondering when I play this. I would like to play that clip
again. By the way, yeah. When people get a clue. Let's do
that. And then we have a comment
that she should have to answer questions about that. And she
shouldn't be able to shy away with Anjali Oh yeah, I fell
deeply in love with Willie Brown when he was 60. And I was 30.
Yeah, that's that's the thing that happens all the time. And
there are lots of six year old men you know how many of them
were you know kind of middle class Schwab's, who are powerful
men in politics are getting 30 year old up and coming law
student girlfriends. Tons of them tons. Just it happens all
the time. Yes.
Is sarcasm is not even good.
Is that do we do employ a lot of sarcasm on the show? I don't
think so. I think or try to avoid it.
I think usually if no, I think we do. I think we avoid it and
probably I
know. timers. If I try it. You get irked?
Yeah, I think I was just about to say if I do it, you get
irked. So I guess we keep each other in check. Hey, thanks,
friend. Don't make me look like a douche.
And the other thing is, if there was sarcasm on this show, it
would be if it was done and it was humorous, like, Shapiro is
not it would the other person would laugh and that would give
clue to the fact that it was a sarcastic comment, not not a
factual comment, because the way Shapiro presents that that
little statement of his he state says it as if you don't hear the
sarcasm, which is hard to do because he's kind of he has a
machine gun approach to to speaking If you don't notice it
was sarcastic. You could take it as him telling what he thinks is
the truth. And you could say to yourself, Does this guy actually
believe that? I don't know anybody? That's 60 that's
hammering me. 30 euros. This doesn't make any sense. I don't
know what okay, well what else is he got to say? It's a
problem. It is
and it's very poor way to make a point. And I just realized one
other place where sarcasm it really irks me. And this the the
troll room, if people are in there going, ooh, you know,
sarcasm was sarcastic one liners. It's really good. It I
shouldn't have said it now, because the trolling is gonna do
it. But you can really it's like a Reddit thing. That's Reddit.
That's it's all sarcasm. Social media is sarcasm is not humor.
It's poor. And it's not healthy. How about that? Yes. And with
that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you the man who put the sea in condescending John C
Devorah.
Well, I can't find my tube so in the morning to you in the
morning, it'll ships to see all the boots on the ground, the
feet in the air. Also the subs in the water and all the Dames
and all the nights, all the dames all the all the all the
nights, all the games all the nights that are out there and
in the morning to our very own trolls in the troll room, which
has no agenda stream.com How many people we got on there
today? Nice. See, we got a lot people on the stream and we're
about 1000 That's nice. People always check in Listen Live hit
the chat room, which we of course know is the troll room
dropped your sarcastic comment dropped.
They dropped a sarcastic comment or to see if they can rile me
up. It's cool. You know, there's a kind of like, I guess it's
everyone's way of being the president where he'll sit at
home or if at home in the White House. He'll tweet something he
sees a show up on TV three minutes later. I think that's
what people in the in the troll room are trying to do. Let me
see if I can hurt curry. See if he says something about it. It's
kind of the same mechanism or curry curry. Show title. And
also in the morning to Darren O'Neill. Darren brought us the
artwork for episode 1107 The title of that was carbon budget.
And we had a hard time there was a lot of different things we
were looking at. I'm not quite sure what it was but
I guarantee you can tell when Darren comes into he Riley one
the week before. Right and I think there's a competition
between those two and maybe some this is kind of like the
compensatory Martin JJ nick the redhead
Oh yeah. And you know, it's a real competition when they're
complimenting each other after the show on Twitter for the
person whose artwork did get chosen great work here's mine
great.
But you know when Darren is out to win cuz he doesn't submit a P
A great piece, I submit 40 pieces,
eight pieces in one go all good. Yeah. Anyway, this was the NBC
logo, which he dubbed nothing but crap, the peacock logo,
logo, it was just an IT WAS A we also go for art and doesn't
always have to be funny. doesn't always have to be. Sometimes it
can be just pretty
just a pretty ramshead. One was we picked it for that ramshead
was yeah, sometimes it's just for the art. But most
importantly, this is a part of the value for value system that
we've created. Here. We're 11 Years Strong. We're hundreds of
1000s of producers, everyone's a producer. Lots of people produce
things like artwork or like jingles or clips, or just
information. We have lots of stuff to talk about that from
boots on the ground everywhere. And of course, we also need
producers who finance and that's the ones we'd like to thank
right here in our executive producer and Associate Executive
Producer segment. Just like Hollywood we do it upfront, more
or less. It's not the end show credits so we're very happy to
thank the following people.
Well that guy on top is the only associate or the only executive
producer that came in this show was Sir Carla the lavender 333

Pay Pal to make my bi annual donation one month in advance
based on the fantastic deconstruction of the government
shutdown loan reporting scandal propagated by the M five M. That
was in the last show back and listen to it was it was absolute
dynamite I'll be shocked if your cup doesn't run it's over from
the great work well that's interesting isn't it?
Yeah it is because it didn't talk didn't flow over but it's
okay.
How disgusting these high paid media shows are. YouTube should
be getting all these M five M dumb holes. Aggregate salary.
Yeah, I can't disagree with that.
But we weren't they may not be paid to be news people to all
who don't donate just give a five spot it'll make a
difference. No jingles no karma for this donation, just a hearty
thank you. And
thank you, sir, up in Seattle. Appreciate that. Nice words
are synonymous two. Oh 9.9. You know, this was a came with a
note about sir Greg. And in he this guy who revealed himself at
some future point. Everyone, a lot of people gave him $20.99
And that's started coming in and we have quite a few and we want
to thank all those folks for doing that. But he gave to honor
$9.90 and want to thank him for it should
I am heartfelt note. Yeah,
should I put that note in the show notes? Right. Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Well, I'll put it in the show notes. The top. Yeah. Under

It's a very it's a hard heartfelt Yes. He does have some
way he does have some may may want some but he does have some
call outs for jingles. Oh, we have to deal with. He says he
needs a douchebag call out directed towards myself and
swift D douching. As I made my first contribution no to a 990
in honor of my amazing friend Greg. De deuced. Now it'd be
absolutely furious with me he would be absolutely furious to
me if I remained as sad as I am. So I encourage everyone to join
me in true Greg fashion by taking a shot at bourbon
lighting up a joint and saying to all may the force be with
you. If I could get any of Greg's jingles you can find but
namely his Putin Don't worry be happy. Which were the fake news
with the ping pong ball and a classic karma for good measure.
Keep up the good work. With the ping pong ball, I never I don't
know what that one is. Fake fake fake. Fake fake fake. You are
fake news. This is fake. That's not it writing up some fake.
Wait, I did get cheap clicks and copy. Writing fake. It's a good
propaganda time.
Fake news made up false stories fake news, unreliable source of
fake news and sound bites of snippets. Fake News, fake news,
fake news. Fake News infects the left and the right
No, that's not I don't know where the ping pong ball went I
feel bad is that
the one where he gets some maybe some comments about fake news
and Trump going Bing Bing punk. No,

fake news it's fake news. We got a lot of good ones
Yeah, we do we loaded well you can play the Putin Don't worry.

close to my sanity check for the best podcast in the universe. I
don't know how so many people misunderstand you or John when
you plainly explain how the show works, such as Adam explaining
why he likes a OC. I've been listening since the two hundreds
and I've never thought you were a fan of Trump AOC or any other
nut job in any context outside of that person's utility for
revealing how the media and political machine operates. I
like Trump when he provokes the M five n m into showing their
hand. I liked Hillary for the same reasons. And I love the
show for teaching me that I sincerely think or thank you for
your courage many people give up when they go up against such
idiocy on a regular basis. I have a lot of respect for you
too. Can I please get a shout out from my website Firearms

and the executive producer for show 1108 Guess why we got two
shows that you can be 1111 1111 or you write
11 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 I love black, I'm always seeing
1111 on the clock. So you got to make a wish when you see the
1111 Thank you to our executive producers, and our producer and
our executive, Associate Executive producers. This is the
value that we desperately need to keep the show going thank you
for that. And we'll be thanking more of our producers $50 and
above in our second segment and we have another show coming up
on Super Bowl Sunday. Remember us
that vorak.org/in And now
that you have the definition of being bad go out there spread
the knowledge and the formula
our formula is this we go out for yet people in the mouth
I should make one quick statement. Okay. Bernie Sanders
is a dingbat.
Yeah, I think yeah, eccentric.
The way we go. You do have any idea why I'd want to do that.
Because you have a clip of Bernie Sanders saying something
bad.
No, he has a dingbat, though. Because dingbat is considered at
least around these parts. A sexist term, only referring to
women. Oh, really?
It didn't say that in my dictionary. Well, you gotta get
a newer dictionary. Well, then let's do let's play a dingbat.
And what was the definition again in California?
Is a sexist term only applying to women. Oh, good
here is that Kirsten Gillibrand? Well, yeah.
Another one, and she
just did this speech. For her announcement of her candidacy
for president, like an Oscar speech. He was so passionate. So
you only forgot to thank the academy. Listen to this after
Martin
Luther King Jr. continues to inspire us every single day
because he believed in a set of values that transcends time and
movements. He knew that only light can drive out darkness and
that we are all called to fight for others until now. Until this
person in the White House will now it to our President has
chosen to tear this country apart. Orange Man bad on every
line, every division, every racial line, every religious
line, he chooses to divide us community by community. He has
inspired a hate and a darkness in this country that I have
never witnessed myself he is tearing apart the very fabric of
who we are as a nation are very common decency and is what we
are being called to fight against.
Oh wow.
Yeah. Maybe a little exaggerated. Just a tad.
And then we had Geez Get a hold Get a grip.
Yeah. Well, no one's getting the grip because Howard Schultz as
we know, the Starbucks billionaire is going to run and
he would be perfect. We love billionaires. We love people who
don't like Trump and what you're not going to run as a Democrat
would what? This was a problem for the M five M. And well, I
have to give them props. Supercuts did another company
lodge if you want to hear that, of them freaking out about
definitely
a lot of Democrats are freaking out absolute gift to Donald
Trump
growing controversy swirling around the billionaire visionary
behind Starbucks.
He could take away votes that would go to the Democratic
nominee,
ending President Trump a second term, many Democrats that could
be desired estrous Trump, you egotistical scares me. Yes, is
that your entry into this race will guarantee Trump another
four years?
Number one, are you still a Democrat? And number two, why
are you doing this, even if
it means hurting the Democratic candidate and helping to reelect
Trump. And that's that's just an awful thing to do. Running a
third party candidate only helped Trump and maybe put you
to work for you just don't
doesn't get to be king. Just because you so rich, no, I don't
think you should run. The
votes are so precious. As we saw last time, I
really do not think that this is the time for us to have an
independent in this race would provide
Donald Trump with with his best hope
of getting reelected.
He doesn't quite grasp the depth of the impact that that decision
would have. Donald Trump was not all that concerned about the
Republican party he
ran because of hubris, Howard Schultz is suggesting he's going
to run.
Do you realize that millions of people register is independent,
and yet they still tilt one way or the other? I'm not for
third party candidates that could hurt the Democrats ticket.
It is not the time 2024 Is
your year. 2020 is not what he's doing right now,
I do believe is very dangerous. We cannot allow this to happen.
There are billionaires, you need to find new hobbies.
Now some Democrats are threatening to boycott
Starbucks, really, vanity projects
that help destroy democracy are disgusting. And he's there for
the so he's there for the right reasons, in your view, without
any party infrastructure. Any party backing,
I have respect for Howard Schultz, if he chooses to get in
the race, I hope he gets in the Democratic Party will will will
treat him very fairly, because
in the last time this happened, it unleashed a tragedy, the
likes of which the world has never seen. Oh, what
a mistake. You foolish man, you thinking that you can represent
the people of America? You can but you have to do it the right
way. You're holding it wrong.
You're holding it wrong. Now,
there's a lot of incorrect noise. Certainly in the European
reporting on this. People are very baffled. And maybe in the
US as well. Like, wait a minute, I thought you will have the two
party system. Well, no. You we have the You Can anyone can run
to be president. The parties is that practise. That's where you
get your power and your money from. And so this is competing
agendas. You know,
I know the way you don't bring up that Bernie Sanders is an
independent.
Yes, he had a and he got bamboozled into running as a
Democrat, he would have run, but he was too good. He was he got
suckered. He was too good. So they had to screw him over. Then
that wasn't just the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the
Clinton clan. And the hag the Hillary assassination group. It
was a it was the media and the media. Well, that is hack I
guess. They completely ignored him that he had crowds his
biggest Trump's anyway. So now you have Howard Schultz. I don't
I didn't know much about his background. Delighted to see
that he came from the projects. I didn't even know that
he's got a great background. I mean, this is not like like I
recommend everyone come from the projects. But yeah, he's I mean,
for a guy who made himself a billionaire
American Dream AX, pretty hard story. You never know. But
that's no longer though. Trump's dad involved. Yeah. So he has
everything going for I have not heard anything about his
policies. All I hear is, but I have no idea what he stands for.
He's not getting asked any questions that are being shown
anywhere of any importance is just y'all he's wrong. You're
wrong, man. BOYCOTT STARBUCKS. Try it. Let me see the
millennials BOYCOTT STARBUCKS, they'll go into shock from
withdrawal syndrome.
So sorry, sorry, Howard. You're you're from old America, my
friend. Because if he does successfully run, now, I think
people are right, it would split enough votes to give trump the
upper hand.
Well, you know, but the craziest thing is a lot of votes away
from Trump.
Well, of course, that's the whole point. But who will then
be left over? And maybe these guys are gonna be a great
candidate. And you know, I'd like to know more about him. I'd
like to see him speak and let the guy talk a little bit
instead of pounding his head down immediately. Yeah, it's
pathetic. I mean, Ross Perot was the last one of course this
happened disastrous results with the world has never seen before
because we got bush.
No
one No. One was that was when we went broke. Yeah, but that was
with Bush.
I thought that we I thought perot first ran against Clinton
and HW and we got Clinton
Now I'm confused. Well, well then what are they? What are
they yapping about and that that will be the strategy
I thought that it was that one of the troll troll Pro I think
they're talking about Nader yet but
troll room confirms Ross Perot gave us Clinton. Well, that's
the model right there Then what's the problem?
Yeah, one billionaire. I think that's what Schultz is even
thinking. Well, so there's no reference. It was not they never
said perot. Oh, I thought Nader? See I didn't know this. Ralph
Nader ran it and he's the one who gave us bush.
Okay, that wasn't in the country at the time. That's why I'm
there's holes in my memory there. That's fine. Is nobody
right? So it's, it's disingenuous to say it was
disastrous. Well, it worked really well. And other time. I
think everyone was pretty happy with Clinton when he well they
love God. I love Clinton.
I love Clinton. You love Clinton. There's a song there
Yeah, don't worry it's time code. Song All right. It'll be
in some mix in your future. Well, that's odd because what
you know every one is just shut up. You know, one has they don't
have a candidate it is it's so important that it has to be
someone who's a member of the Democrat Party. Is that Is it
unthinkable to bring isn't just the idea, get Trump out no
matter what, who cares? Nothing could be anything is better than
Trump? Isn't that the general idea? They should glom on to
this guy. What is the party these days?
I have no idea. I'm looking at these headlines, though. Why
Schultz is the new Ross Perot. Howard Schultz would not be a
spoiler for Democrats the way Ross Perot was for the GOP.
Could Howard Schultz be the next Ross Perot. Nobody's talking
about poor Ralph Nader.
I'd like to switch topics to Venezuela for a moment. We have
a number of boots on the ground reports. And we got quite a few
actually.
Yeah, I have some some some official clips.
Yeah. But before we get to that, just to set the stage a little
bit. See, I love that. We had we were talking earlier about
Venezuela's or not on a previous show, but Venezuela's oil, and
I'm not quite sure what came out of our mouths. But ultimately,
yes, the Venezuelan oil is in fact heavy, high sulfur crude.
It's not the light Bolivian crude. And the refineries here
in the US are kind of set up to mix that with our much lighter
crew to get it through the pipes.
And but we get this from one of our knights, sir Ryan, the
refiner, and I've checked his credentials, he absolutely knows
what he's talking about. So and
I will mention the recent you check his credentials. Because
we I think about six, seven years ago, we had some guy who
claimed to be in the oil business on rig.
Oh, yeah, I remember that guy on a rig. Yeah. But here's a brief
summary. We received multiple, similar reports, boots on the
ground, people who live in Venezuela or other parts of
Latin America. And I kind of liked how how our first
producers start off by saying, Hey, you and John really don't
know anything about Venezuela this okay, I don't expect you to
but here's no boots on the ground. Executive Summary. In
Latin America, what's been going on from the 60s to the present
day is a battle between the civilized world and the Castro
in Cuba with help from Russia. Mountain has any dispute about
that. All guerrilla movements in Latin America have been and
continue to be financed, trained and supported by Cuba and the
Cuban G two now with Venezuelan money. Today Venezuela is being
run by Raul Castro and the Cuban G two what's the G two the Cuban
G to
get up while you keep reading?
Maduro legally cannot be the Venezuelan President because he
was not born in Venezuela. He was born in Colombia. Six years
ago, the elections were stolen but because they
intelligence agency. Ah, thank you.
Six, six years ago, the elections were stolen but
because they had money. They bought the international silence
that would be the M five M and then once complicit with that
and military industrial complex oil etc. Got it. In last year's
fraudulent election. Most opposition candidates were
either in jail or an exile since they no longer had any money to
buy the conscience of the world. They the world said we don't
recognize these elections. According to the constitution.
The elected president must be sworn in to the National
Assembly and that did not happen. Today. The situation is
that there is no president who was elected properly because the
elections were rigged. So the President of the assembly is
According to our Constitution, the president in charge with a
mandate to make new election processes as soon as possible,
thanks to the efforts of President Trump and guys like
Marco Rubio, with the support of the international community, it
seems that the days of the dictatorship of Venezuela are
over. So in this case, yep, believe it or not, the US are
actually the good guys now, and he has a whole bunch of other
things and other points that he makes. This is very consistent.
And I don't know if it's consistent because everyone
who's emailing us is some kind of agent and is giving us false
information. Ideas, right. I pulled off of YouTube, Joanna
Houseman, and she lives in Venezuela. And she gives a
version of that background or, but better than I just did it
short
2017 The Supreme Court that was handpicked by Nicolas Maduro was
party nullified and stripped the National Assembly or Congress of
their powers. The National Assembly was chosen by vote and
was the only government institution that was run by an
opposition majority. So imagine when the Democrats took the
house if Trump was like, No, I don't like this anymore. The
house is no longer a legitimate part of government. And here's
another house that I made up with everyone that agrees with
me. Americans would be furious show to our Venezuelans
Venezuela erupted in protests, hundreds of protesters, most of
them teenagers were detained, some of whom were tortured and
murdered. Meanwhile, despite these protests, Maduro made his
own Congress that he could control just like that, fast
forward to May 20 2018, where this illegitimate Congress calls
for presidential elections. Now, during these elections, the most
popular opposition candidates are either jailed, exiled or
banned from running. In other words, there is no legitimate
way for the opposition to run. So these sham presidential
elections are held anyway, by my doodles government were only 20%
of the population voted. However, a lot of the 20% were
public employees who were intimidated into voting by
threats from the government. These were called illegitimate
elections, not just by the Venezuelan people, but by the
international community. Interim President Juan guaido has been
backed by the international community. Yes, this includes
the United States. But do you know who else Black Swan while
that isn't Trump? I didn't thena but I've seen Colombia, Costa
Rica, Ecuador, Germany, the Socialist Party that runs
Albania, Canada's progressive Prince Justin Trudeau,
Australia, but our white Badal, the government run by the
Socialist Party of Spain, who was president said what is going
on in Venezuela as the opposite of socialism? The list goes on.
Now, for sure. This guaido This guy is one of ours. He's an
asset. There's no doubt about it. But I think what is the
script that is being followed here,
by the way, we should mention he went to Georgetown, Georgetown,
Georgia at Georgetown University spoke school. That's okay. Well,
school, it's one of the major spook schools. Yes, so
this is not a typical, but I think they're following the
Trump script, which he, interestingly, before he was
elected, and he was still running. This is a video that he
shot in his office, remember when it used to be in his Trump
Tower office, and, you know, he do crazy little videos, and even
the eagle that tried to kill him, kill him. And then he had
the taco bowl. And so this is, this is one of his, one of his
famous,
like, Mexican food.
Good times, and that was good, was fun back then wasn't
more fun than now. And so he
was talking about Libya, and how Libya had been messed up, we had
done it the wrong way. And it's not so forget Libya, and what
why it happened. And just here's the simplistic, straightforward
thinking, I believe is in play for the US and Venezuela clearly
with our guy,
but we have to go into save these lives. And we should do on
a humanitarian basis, immediately go into Libya, knock
this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively,
and save the lives. After it's all done. We go to the
protesters who ended up running the country, they're gonna like
us a lot better than they will if we don't do it. More
importantly, we're going to save lives. And we should then say,
Oh, by the way, from all of your oil, we want reimbursement, we
should have said, we'll help you. But we want 50% of your
oil, they would have absolutely said okay, 100% In fact, they
would have said how about 75%? So, and isn't it sad? We could
have had anything we wanted. We could have had 50% of those oil
fields. You know, the old days when you had a war, it's to the
victor belong the spoils. So we could have had something special
when the so called rebels came to us. We should have said,
fellas, we're going to help you. We want 50% of your oil. They
would have said thank you very much. We have a deal. We write
it down, sign it, we have a deal, we would have been a rich
nation again, they have tremendous oil reserves in
Libya. Instead, we help we get nothing. We're very, very
foolishly LED.
But think this is a that's your strategy and from a leadership
position of the United States doesn't sound very globalist and
world friendly of me. But we have two other parties. If we
don't do this, then China is going to overrun Venezuela, they
are already in there. They have deals that are not advantageous
for anyone but China. And they don't always play fair, the
Russians who are in their mining, I think gold mainly,
they have 1000s of mercenaries is from the reports I'm getting
who are in there, as I don't know if that's true, or what
they'll be doing. But, you know, it's obvious that this is the
strategy. And here is John Bolton, the vicarious leaker on
his yellow pad. Talking about the plan, we're
looking at the oil assets. That's the single most important
income stream to the Government of Venezuela. We're looking at
what to do to that. We want everybody to know we're looking
at all this very seriously. We don't want any American
businesses or investors caught by surprise. They can see what
President Trump did yesterday. We're following through on it.
So if you think of a company like Cisco, which is owned by
ped of Asa, which is the state run oil company, they're in
Venezuela, we have a lot of those Cisco Cisco assets right
here in the US. Is that something for example, sir, that
you're looking at? Yeah, well,
we're in conversation with major American companies now that are
either in Venezuela or in the case of Cisco here in the United
States. I think we're trying to get to the same end result here.
You know, Venezuela is one of the three countries I called the
troika of tyranny. It'll make a big difference to the United
States. Economically, if we could have American oil
companies really invest in and produce the oil capabilities in
Venezuela. It'd be good for the people of Venezuela, but the
good for the people of the United States, we both have a
lot at stake here, making this come out the right way.
So that sounds like the plan. troika of tyranny. Yeah. Cuba,
Nicaragua, Venezuela, the troika of tyranny had not heard a
different phrase. So Bolton, just as an aside, John, I've
done some research on him some unrelated to this research. Now
you we know why. A mustache like he has is called a porn stash.
And the guy is a little odd. In his hobbies.
porn stash,
he has a 70s porn
stash. It looks like
and this is something he knows why I'm all in on the on our the
guy who gave us the original briefing that's in the refining
business. And it's possible he's in the information refining
business.
As so many of our friends
worked for some information refining operation, but I would
say that I buy that whole thing.
You know, I'd like this the central information refinery.
Yeah. If central information refi sir, sir refunds. So
being in the refining business doesn't seem to me to be so
geopolitical, but apparently it is now. So but I by that, I
believe that he is someone who was designed to give us this
information properly. So now we have it. And I Yes, I
agree with that. Totally buy it. Yeah,
I totally buy it. So I'm not having a problem with that
information. I'm just questioning the real origins of
it. Now, the, we've had other people in and I also think his
assertion that we don't know what we're talking about, about
Venezuela is probably true at that level. Sure. And now that's
been corrected. It's been corrected in one show. So it
wasn't that we've been dragging it out.
So it is the central information refinery, who we deal with I
like this. This is new, which is very good. Information refinery
perfect. So they refined it and we got it, which is which is a
plus. So let's listen to what the mainstream media has to say.
Yes, but let me before we play the quick Venezuela hit and by
the way, NBC made this a very quick 48 second hit I have the
whole thing is very short. But before we do that, let's just do
a 43. Second, the at the UN the UN Venezuela Ambassador blasting
the United States pulling every everything out that he could
Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations, Jorge Valero
blasted the US system on Tuesday. Good okay, that's
a little different than slammed and it's way different than
lashed out blasted is
Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations, Jorge Valero
blasted the US is the piracy on Tuesday. Good, okay.
What is this government want this government that doesn't
recognize treaty that doesn't recognize any of the agreements
made around Iran and signed by various European countries that
launches a trade war with China, threatens Russia with a nuclear
war and attacks in a very sadistic manner migrants from
Central America who arrived there that has built a wall, a
criminal wall. That's the question is children to make
them suffer children of migrants, and this government is
US government would have any moral authority to impose any
diktat on Venezuela.
Wow, man, he went to the wall that's great.
Guy, let it all hang out. I liked it. But so here here's the
quick vent. This is the update the in from NBC. And I think
they're just want to keep the public this much informed and no
further
tonight, massive crowds supporting opposition leader
Juan guaido, calling for the ouster of Venezuela's embattled
leader, Nicolas Maduro, it's a Cold War showdown guaido,
supported by the US and most of Latin America, challenging
Maduro bankrolled by Russia, appearing on Russian state
television thanking Vladimir Putin. Maduro even accusing
President Trump of ordering a hit squad to kill him trying to
show military strength, US officials again warning Maduro
against any violence toward guaido or Americans. President
Trump tweeting that he called guaido and reinforced strong
United States support.
This is not a US initiative.
This is an initiative for which all the credit belongs to the
Venezuelan people.
Tonight, the White House is tightening the financial squeeze
on Maduro blocking him from getting any revenue from his
state owned Oil Company.
Wow, horrible. Orange Man bad.
So well, the
Venezuelans that are refining information to us seem to be
very happy with it. And and noticeable is that none of them
defend guaido didn't even talk about him. It's unimportant to
them. Yeah, it's you know, this, this narco state, led by Maduro
is it's pretty bad.
Oh, it's been falling apart for a while. Yeah. I mean, it
started with Chavez when we tried to do deals with him. And
then he went nuts and started doing a TV show.
You remember Obama went over there hung out with him, didn't
he? Oh, yeah. And
he also did, Charlie, not Charlie Sheen, but Sean pan and
all these were hanging out with with old Chavez. Yeah.
And then as per Chavez, the United States Intelligence
Services gave him cancer and he died. That's what he was always
saying. Yeah, he said that CIA get me cancer.
zody said, yeah. Oh, it was possible. How old was he when he
died? I don't know.
Let's take a look. I really don't know.
not that old. He was early 70s. Now still
died at Hugo Chavez. funny looking guy.
Now we don't laugh at appearances here on the no
agenda podcast. Do you have it yet? Um, how long is this
taking?
I am sorry. Did you choose to Okay, he was born 5040 died in
2013. They don't put us the news. They put his age. But for
some reason they don't do it with him. So 60s Yeah, so he was
he was 6463 62.
Yeah, it wasn't that it will not
be 69. I think it was 5959 59.
He also was young. He also knew about the earthquake machines
that we deployed. He talked about that a lot. No weather
modification. And he was very open about what the tools that
the elite he didn't
get newsworthy to age 58. Poor guy. Ah,
yes. A very interesting piece of information came to me. As you
know, I am I have a hard time believing that we landed on the
moon and this is not going to be the whole segment about that.
But there's enough things that point in the direction of no
proof. There's an issue with the Van Allen belts you can look
that up if you're interested. I think the the thing that
bothered me the most is that 10,000 tapes, including not just
all the footage of the Apollo moon landing, but also all the
telemetry data 10,000 10,000 tapes are lost. NASA doesn't
know where they are. It's annoying. So over the years, you
know you always look I'm always looking for these little clues
as to you know what, what other bull crap that we've been told
about this if it didn't happen. It was just a couple of years
ago that I think was the ambassador to the Netherlands,
who had been had we had a moonrock was given either to the
country or to the ambassador. And it turned out that moonrock
was just a rock from Earth. Do you remember that story?
I vaguely remember. But you can't really talk about any of
this without playing Theramin at least for two beginning. There
we go. I feel better now.
All right. Well, it's always the truth. That is the strangest. So
now
what I would do too, though, if I'm giving away moon rocks,
which are worth millions of dollars, I would give a rock
just a rock and a lot of rocks in my backyard. I'd watch one
off and
pier right? Well, you could work for NASA. So now they discover
there's a problem with one of the largest moon rocks ever
collected.
The mission brought moon rocks back to Earth. Well now
scientists have made an amazing discovery. They think some of
that rock came from Earth and could be 4 billion years old.
The Earth rock was discovered on the moon near the edge of the
cone crater was part of the largest sample brought back by
the Apollo 14 mission. It was nicknamed Big Bertha. So how did
it get to the moon? Well, the theory is around 4 billion years
ago, an asteroid or comet hit the Earth, the impact sent rock
hurtling through Earth's primitive atmosphere where it
collided with the surface of the moon. Back then the moon was
three times closer to Earth than it is now. Researchers say the
rock which is similar to granite contains feldspar quartz and
Zurich on common on earth but not on the moon. When
researchers took a closer look, they discovered the rock is from
the Hadean time, which shaped the solar system during the
first billion years. It stopped the rock formed about 20
kilometers below the earth's surface. The extraordinary fine
means there could be other little bits of Earth scattered
on the moon a discovery that could help paint a better
picture of Earth's earliest days
call me skeptical yeah, there it is just feeding into your your
feeding your cost feeding you this information. I wasn't
looking for them by an asteroid about once every 75 million
years or 100 but there's some cycle involved with that
apparently, there's one of the guys one of the big shots one of
the superstar physicists up at the door at Berkeley Livermore
Labs or whatever at Berkeley Lawrence Berkeley Labs LBL has
this theory and because of the nature of the die offs, because
I guess is our galaxy goes through some other galaxy once
every once in a while. It goes to an asteroid belt we get
pelted in a kills everything Oh yay dinosaurs the last time we
just happened and it kills most of mankind I mean, we have all
these issues that we have these kill offs if the if the if the
New World Order elitist are trying to kill us,
then then the asteroid will have to anyway, but they don't feel
like waiting for 75 billion years. They want to
they want to do it now because they think they can run things
with their planned economies. Anyway. So it's possible that
this is far fetched story is true.
Yeah, sure. Okay. It's good. I
just sent them I'd like to central
information refinery to at least inform me before I die. Just
like curry. You're right. That'll just be that's all I
need.
Don't you wouldn't you rather meet some of the aliens that
they have?
Oh, I went through that scam already. Remember that? I was
going to meet the you're gonna meet one of them was just a
weird dude. Yeah, dude. Man hasty. Oh, gee, I totally missed
the signals. Why are you Why are you touching my room? Okay. All
right. Yes, we have to raise our vibrations together. Oh, code.
Sure. The alien.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
All right. Yeah, the shortlist here. We have a few people that
helped us out here. Sorry, was Sir Shawn and may ik North
Carolina or Mayock North Carolina $100. Charles Schultz

happy.
Yeah, well I That's the old theory of everything. William
Durkin eight $80 He has an email that we should read, I suppose,
but we don't. I don't have it in front of me. Brian Clem Zack in
Naperville, Illinois, Illinois. He is in Illinois, Nate 75 Sir
Alan of Midlothian. 6173 you would like more details of Adams
life samples why where and how he learned to fly rotary winged
aircraft. I'd like to know it seems very suspicious to me. Oh,
yeah. He ever learned anything? Did
he? Did he really own and drive a Rolls Royce the MTV days? Yes.
Why did he drive it? Well, because I could afford it.
Shouldn't have had people for that. No, I do drive it. Why
didn't you have people drive it? I couldn't afford people to
drive. He was CEO of some company Yes. Think new ideas.
Why was c t o thinking ideas but founder took it public and 96
people don't know any of that stuff. He was rich for a while.
How long? Were they trying to What is he trying to what did
you write in a book?
He was rich for a while. How long? How did he become poor?
Well, back to the rotary back back to flying helicopters.
The point of the show and he says John stopped blowing on
that recorder until you have made some effort to learn how to
play what? No, that's really that's an insult. I play this
thing. Like I mean, I'm the Benny Goodman headed baby See,
we're a well oiled machine.
Yeah, no kidding. Anonymous eight, the lopsided guy. It's
Salafism, not Salafi ism. Oh really? Selfish.
Right? No, that's
office. That's
what I thought too. I didn't know was so Salafist Salafist
that doesn't sound right
I need some I need some backup. He says he's the Salafi saw was
the sell off the listener who's no longer a douche bag. Well, he
if he's the Salafi I mean the
sell a selfie. Okay, I'm gonna we need some some more input
from our dudes named Mohammed. There's plenty of them. Yeah.
Bring it.
I thought it was sell. Okay, well, we do have a sell off.
It's done. That's good. He's keeping tabs on this. Yes, sir.

then work on building that thing. Um, you can probably get
one of those pretty cheap. And you'd love it. I mean, but you

Do headcount, make sure to do a headcount.
To headcount make sure.
Okay, we got a couple of things here, which I said we're talking
about. Venezuela. We didn't we did mention. Democracy Now, of
course, is the socialist news. And they're all against
everything going on, because, you know, leave that guy in. He
was voted in for after all,
yeah, for Who cares where he was born? Yeah, who cares? The
Constitution, small institution, cares about the Constitution.
But they did bring on this investigative reporter called
Allan Nairn. And do it's mostly to talk about this Abrams
character. Who's this guy that did Trump just hired?
Oh, the Yeah, the guy of the Iran Contra guy.
Yeah, the Iran Contra guy like the your criminal, hey, if you
want
to do a coup, with the right people get some pros in there.
So that you know bringing this Elliott Abrams bringing this guy
in. It's kind of a red flag makes it look as though you
know, even though you had that clip from NBC, where were Rubio
said, Well, you know that we had nothing to do with this. And
other people say this, we don't have we didn't trigger this. It
wasn't somebody didn't have Hillary's hitmen go in there and
do anything. It just started spontaneous, not spontaneously,
but the Venezuelan people got fed up. But if you're gonna make
it look like we did it.
Now, do you think that Bolton hired him because I still don't
understand what Bolton is doing in Trump's orbit?
I don't need it because he's a neocon and Abrams is a neocon.
These are war mongers. He's the kind of guys that Trump always
bitches and moans about Yeah,
it's not very, not very de swampy of him.
No, not at all. But let's listen to what narron says about Abrams
on democracy. Now. He just reads He gives us the background or
that is worth listening to
pay was the key man and Reagan administration policy towards
Central America when that administration was abetting.
What a Court recently ruled was a genocide in Guatemala, when
the US was backing the army of El Salvador in a series of death
squad assassinations and massacres. And when the US was
invading Nicaragua with a Contra Force that went after what one
US General described as soft targets, meaning civilians,
things like cooperatives. Abrams later came back during the
George W. Bush administration joined the National Security
Council, and was a key man in implementing the US policy of
backing Israeli attacks against Gaza, when the US refused to
accept the results of the Gaza elections, where Hamas defeated
Fatah in a vote and instead, Abramson company backed a war
operation to overturn the results of the election, backing
the forces of Mohammed DONILON. Some commentators have said,
well, Abrams is not a Trump guy. He represents traditional
established US foreign policy. And that's true. Yeah.
Which the oil business is also traditional American US policy.
Yes. Do you guys do brother's game for a reason? He's
obviously a hitman.
How much do you How much do you think Tillerson had to do with
this before he got ousted? Or did he screw something up?
Because he must have been all over this this as this is a
Tillerson type operation. I mean, he's he will be the guy
for that.
I have no idea because I always got the sense that Tillerson
never got any direction never really took any initiative and
just a bumbler. But who knows? Give me the oil guy. You'd think
he'd be all over this. Maybe you didn't do anything with oil
because fearful that someone would call him out for being
conflict of interested. Conflict. Yes, I'm interested so
Abrams, apparently was on Charlie Rose in 1995. I got this
clip ah. And he was with with the same reporter, this guy
who'd apparently been at each other so it's I kind of accept
this reporters take on things because if you look into them as
being like compromised, you know, went to Georgetown and
went to, you know, this Yale Law and then he went, you know, he
didn't do any of that he was just a dude, his background. He
wasn't stationed in Berlin and then stationed in Tunisia, none
of that. He's just an investigative reporter versus it
seems like he doesn't. He's totally disconnected from the
intelligence. Oh, cool. run these guys. As long as you gotta
fake it till you make it right. So this guy was on with Abrams
on Charlie Rose, and he said he should be tried as a war
criminal right there on the show. It was dynamite. I mean, I
think
you have to be you have to apply uniform standards. President
Bush one took once talked about putting Saddam Hussein on trial
for crimes against humanity, Nuremberg style tribunal. I
think that's a good idea. But if you're serious, you have to be
even handed. If we look at a case like this, I think we have
to talk start talking about putting Guatemalan and US
officials on trial. I think someone like Mr. Abrams would be
a fit a subject for such a Nuremberg style inquiry. I agree
with Mr. Abrams, that Democrats would have to be in the dark
with him. The Congress has been in on this, the Congress
approved the sale of 16,000 M sixteens. to Guatemala in 87.
Nada once I deploy because they voted more military aid than the
Republicans asked for. Again, I invite you and Lea David
back to discuss what he did. But right Charlie, but I
go ahead, you want to repeat, I want to be in the dark.
It is ludicrous. It is ludicrous to respond to that kind of
stupidity. This guy thinks we were on the wrong side of the
Cold War. Maybe he personally was on the wrong side. I am one
of the many millions of American industry
supporting the massacre of the peasants in Oregon. I want to
ask if that's a crime. That's a crime. Mr. Abrams, which people
should be tried.
You put all the American officials who won the Cold War
in the dark? You know, it's never too late.
You know, the funny thing is this game Reeves was and Charlie
did nothing about this. Abrams made the point that it was the
Cold War, that we went in massacred a bunch of people in
Guatemala, and it's kind of screwed up that get it? What
does it have to do with a cold war against Russia? I mean, he's
and then he and he says, Hey, this guy, you know, he's against
the Cold War. I mean, he's against being on our side in the
Cold War. It's got nothing to do with it. And Rose said zip
about, hey, well, we're not talking about the Cold War.
We're talking about Guatemala. No, no, that didn't happen. So
this guy, but anyway, I thought it was very funny exchange. And
nobody's you know, nobody's going after Abrams. Again, it's
never too late. We can still do Nuremberg trials. They're fun.
Yeah,
they won't do. drug trials are great. It's not happening. Hey,
I come from the front lines of technology to discuss something
with you. Yeah. You know, I've been messing around with a pie
hole. Yeah, we I just think it's a great name. Now pie hole is a
software package that's open source, you can download it and
install it, typically, you run it on a Raspberry Pi, which is a
very inexpensive $25 computer that's pretty much complete.
It's just a just the board with some chips on it. But it has,
you know, you can get it with Wi Fi. And you pretty much plug it
in you you burn a SD card with whatever you need, you stick it
in. And the thing kind of works. I mean, you anyone can do this,
certainly with a little bit of help from some of the people in
the no agenda, value network if you need it now. So what this
does is it it you load block lists, which are also open
source put together by communities, people who are
looking at things that are spying on you mainly. So I think
it initially started as a way to block ads on your home network.
And that turned into blocking not just ads but trackers and it
is because I've been watching the logs go by first of all my
Internet has sped up by 20% feels like just because I'm not
loading all this crap anymore. But I was very surprised that I
was reading on the pie hole Reddit that there's also a way
to stop Roku from tracking you. And I've been reading what the
Roku box does, holy crap. It scans your network every minute
and reports to back to home base that has 25 different tracking
servers it reports to and it reports you know stuff like your
your network card, your NIC card information, you know it what,
what kind of devices you have, it's reporting a lot of
information. And so I'm like well, of course I want to
install these and usually the block lists have everything so
that it'll just still work. For instance, Tina still uses
Instagram. That doesn't work anymore. Facebook, Instagram
that doesn't work in my house anymore. You know, you blocked
the the tracking server which is graph.instagram.com and stops
working, which is fine. We're all happy with that but the Roku
so I'm looking at this thing, the row coup is it's not
activated. It's just it's it's on, but I'm not even watching
TV. I'm watching the log file of the piehole. John, I touch the
remote. Immediately it starts reporting back, just just
touched it. There's an accelerometer or something in
it. Yeah,
actually there is the remote on the road CUC acts as like a weed
control. Okay, well, so it can be used, you can turn on a
pointer on the screen. And by moving the the remote, you can
move the pointer around on the screen. So that but what is
doing is have it does have those feet.
Okay, it's well, it's also reporting that immediately, it's
like, Hey, someone to talk to me pay attention. What's he doing?
How's he hold? is he standing? Is he sitting at the close?
What's he doing? So like, holy crap, pretty much. And so you'd
be very surprised what kind of spying is going on Microsoft
Windows? is unbelievable. Why does Bing have to be talked to
every minute, then everything use Bing. my browser's not even
open. It's talking to Bing. There's all kinds of stuff,
block, block, block, block block. And then I come across.
So this is the world we live in. We're tracked just by all kinds
of stuff. And you have no idea what what really is going on
except building great profiles of you. And then I read a very
interesting story, which I want to pay get a timeline and
history as maybe a tipping point, very important. Facebook
is now in some hot water, because they had an app in the
App Store, which included a VPN. And the concept of this app. And
it wasn't the regular Facebook app is that if you downloaded
and installed this app, the VPN would with your knowledge spy on
everything you're doing on your phone. So anything that's
running all went through Facebook, so you have to
envision it as your phone's connected the internet, but it
has a tunnel straight to Facebook, they analyze
everything with every app, you know, GPS, information,
accelerometer, just you name it. And then of course, the
connection to the Internet, if you're if you're using it. And
they were paying people for this. Now, Facebook, or Apple
told them to stop that they stopped. And they they did it
again, by putting it into some research app and kind of hiding
it. And now Apple is like, Oh, you're kicked off, that their
apps haven't been kicked out of the store. But they've lost
their developer certificate. So there's all kinds of feuding
going on for something that Facebook was very open about.
They were advertising mainly to teens, millennials. So not just
teens, but Millennials $40 a month, if you install this app,
so we can track everything you're doing. And this is this
is the tipping point. There were 10 million people who had one
point or another signed up for this program to sell all their
data, everything they're doing for $40 a month. And while this
has created outrage, I think it is the most wonderful thing that
has ever happened. Thank you, Facebook, thank you 10 million
people for putting a price on data. I mean, I'm sure that
there are companies who would pay $50 for you to do this.
Yeah, or maybe, you know, some combination. This is turning the
model upside down. And I don't think anyone sees it yet. But I
feel that it's a very interesting opportunity to turn
the spying around into No, I'll give you my data for X amount.
And under these conditions. I think this is being
misinterpreted. I think it's a fantastic thing that has taken
place. It is the first step where consumers may be able to
get the upper hand, it's almost like carbon pricing. You know,
we're still waiting for a price on carbon. And now we have a
price for your data and your life. That your digital life.
$40 a month. That's a good start.
Well, the way you provide us with this information the way
you put it out there, I think you're onto something. So I like
it too. I think it's a fantastic idea that everyone get all bent
out of shape about
this is great people you kidding me? Immediately more companies
doing it. And I think that there's lots of people who would
say yeah, I'll give some away 40 bucks
a month. I'd take a 40 bucks thing if I could. Yeah, 500 a
year. Yeah, exactly. I don't even use my phone.
Exactly.
The new Johnny English movie with Mr. Bean. Oh, talks about
this the whole movies about that guy who is a Silicon Valley data
monger? Oh, really? Yeah. He's going to take over the world if
we don't stop him and you know this bumbling spy is the name of
this movie. Johnny English something is New Johnny English
movies like this guy, Atkinson row and add the sector has not
done anything for I can tell for 10 years. But I would say this
movie just came out. Ha. Take a look right say that this movie
let me see if I can find the full name of it is Johnny
English something is imaged I enjoyed it. I thought it was a
plays it on the on the
job on the Netflix strikes again.
Is it on the Netflix or the Amazons? I don't think so.
Theaters. You saw it in the theater. Yeah.
Johnny English strikes again. They give it to three out of
five stars. Nobody likes the movie because they hate the
actor. Well, this is all also are two bits in here. That as a
as someone who admires good writing, there's at least two
bits in here one in particular. That is it's just like you go oh
my god, why didn't anybody think of this before? Where he puts on
a people will see this. I won't even give it away. But he put
this put it this way. This is where the bid starts. He puts on
some VR VR thing. And it goes from there. And it's very
entertaining. I thought it was GOOD movie.
Excellent. Well, the also several people pointed out that
new we're talking about 5g That the king's men to had a
variation of this. Everyone has a phone it controls Yeah. And
then you have a central point can kill you. If you see
Kingsman, too,
you know I I have not seen Kingsman two and a half because
I really liked Kingsman one. Yeah, similar where they put
little implantations in everyone's head, and you could
blow their head off if they were disobedient. Yes.
This is it's a very good point. And the best part of actually,
we have so many network admins, dudes named Ben who have checked
in a couple of things I've learned one, 5g is actually the
protocol. So that's what AT and T is doing is they're rolling
out 5g on 4g radios, which go up to about six gigahertz. The
other thing about 5g is because it's being made into this
national emergency, which and I have my thoughts about that, you
know, we we don't have 5g, we're all going to die. Cars will not
drive automatically, your fridge won't know how to order the milk
and all the stuff that that we've been promised, you know,
the flying cars, all of this will be possible with 5g. It's
such an emergency that the I think the push is to make it
national infrastructure. already. It's very simple for
the telecommunications companies with today's regulations to put
these things anywhere they want. And if you make it part of our
national infrastructure, they can do pretty much whatever they
want. So they're just getting their boxes in. It's about
getting your boxes in close. We're looking at some of these
higher range 5g cell systems, anywhere from 60 to over 100
watts. And we're at the higher frequencies that'll be
interesting. But we do have a possible rollout. Yeah.
It'll be interesting when the birds when you notice there's no
more birds in your neighborhood.
That's Oh, that'd be great. We have grackles, here in in
Austin. grackles Ferroni No, they're very scary. They're
annoying. They sit on the tree at night. Making noise? Yeah,
but they just sit there looking at it all all down Second
Street. Every tree is it looks like the trees black but it's
just the bird sitting in there the creepy of course the first
people that hates bird I do know I don't I don't I really don't
hate birds. Anyway, the first 5g rollout of some significance,
where are we going to fry people? First, let's go down
under
US unveiled sweeping charges.
Shoot this one. I mean,
and today we're very proud that we're bringing the very first
application of 5g using our new 5g network to provide this new
home broadband service. We are proud to be able to bring this
to residences across Australia, starting right here with two
suburbs in Canberra, in the Dixon suburb, where we're at,
and Monica, and one in Glendenning in Sydney, and
gradually over the next 14 months in capital cities across
Australia and in regional cities. We will be bringing this
up this 5g home broadband service as we deploy 1002 100
base stations by March 31 2020,
no, all right, Canberra, you'll be on the barbie.
You'll be, you'll be you're
either Barbie.
Now, I've really been thinking about this 5g, and in the world
of growth, where every industry has to continue to expand and
grow, and we're seeing the strains of this like health
care, you know, prices are so overinflated. Why because these
companies need to grow, they need to do more every company
needs to grow. And I think that this, this religion, this 5g
religion is is really going to come down to that and the fight
with China. Yeah, we have a trade war. But really, it
surrounds the even the trade war, the stealing of technology,
all these accusations, it comes down to 5g, who's going to be in
charge of it, who's running it, who runs whose network and the
Wall Street Journal had a decent breakdown of the the 5g War,
which as you probably figured out is that includes Huawei in
China. The US
unveiled sweeping charges against Chinese tech giant
Huawei on Monday, formally accusing the company and its
affiliates of stealing trade secrets and violating Iran
sanctions, and nearly two dozen charges were filed in two
separate indictments. First in Washington state authorities
charged Huawei with stealing technology from T Mobile. The
investigation stemmed from a civil suit brought by T Mobile
in 2014. Back when Huawei supplied phones for T Mobile.
The company said that the Chinese firms stole secrets
about its testing robot named tappy
Huawei entities directed employees to take photographs,
take measurements and take other protected information without
permission. And finally, when all this still did not get them
what they were looking for, they tried to steal tap E's robotic
arm in order for engineers in China to replicate it.
Now the Justice Department is alleging that that theft was
part of an organized effort and that Huawei even paid bonuses to
employees who successfully stole confidential information Huawei
has denied wrongdoing and second in an indictment unsealed in
Brooklyn. The US alleged that Huawei its chief financial
officer, and two of Huawei affiliates were involved in
violating US sanctions against Iran
Huawei, through its executives and others repeatedly claimed to
US government officials and various banks that the company,
its subsidiaries and partners operated in accordance with US
sanctions and export laws and in accordance with EU and UN
sanctions as charged in the indictment. Those claims were
false.
The indictment includes charges against the company's CFO Meng
Wanzhou for her personal involvement in misleading
financial institution. Miss Hmong is the Huawei founders
daughter. She was arrested in Canada in December and is
fighting extradition. The US is global campaign against Huawei
has enraged China and the latest indictments are likely to
escalate tension between Washington and Beijing. Just as
trade talks are set to resume. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross
tried to make it clear that these charges are separate from
trade discussion.
To be clear, these indictments are law enforcement actions and
are wholly separate from our trade negotiations. With China
Huawei products have largely been blocked from the US. But
even without access to the US market, Huawei is the world's
largest maker of telecom equipment. And the second
largest smartphone company after Samsung, Huawei poses a threat
to the US officials say because it's positioning itself as a
global leader in 5g, the ultra fast wireless technology that
will soon be connected to everything. But that could also
be vulnerable to cyber attacks.
The more I think about this, the more I hear these types of
reports. I think that the move is got to be towards some kind
of nationalization or some way to, to get subsidized by the the
Treasury basically to port to print money to smother the
Chinese or whatever it is, somewhere. We've got to bring
this to a national level. And all this other stuff may just be
window dressing. I'm sure the Chinese have a different
culture, they don't care that everything's from the people so
they don't see you to stealing. To paraphrase.
No, this is I was told this once years ago by a communist when I
was in the Soviet Union. He said we believe that all intellectual
property is the property of the people. Right. And that's the
Chinese thing to and they are okay, well, they only pay lip
service to our notions.
Right. But this 5g, there's a lot riding on it. Yeah, it's
like, I think healthcare is also you know, the insurance
industry. Let's call it the health care industry. It's Big
Pharma, it's bankers within with insurance. It's all of this I
think they're their version of growth. And maybe this is why
it's happening is let's give everybody free health care that
the government pays for. And then let's let a lot of extra
people in. That's like, you know, who's going to win is not
going to be the taxpayer, but someone's going to make out like
a bandit because they expand to an infinite number, free health
care and bring in all kinds of extra people. Let them just run
in.
Yes, there's a formula for success. It's a
winning success. But of course, you know, some people also take
it a little too far. The Sackler family wishes. This is not
something that is in the news a lot because it's pharmaceutical
and I was surprised to see this on Good Morning America, but
they did a piece about Purdue. Purdue is a company owned by the
Sackler family that owns the patents on oxy cotton. And who
well the report explains how brazen these people are.
Michael, good morning to you. The National Safety Council says
Americans are more likely to die from an accidental opioid
overdose than a car crash this morning. The Attorney General of
Massachusetts is accusing the billionaire Sackler family of
contributing to the epidemic, saying they knew the risks but
push the drug anyway. The complaint alleges certain
members of the Sackler family who are worth $13 billion, were
aware of the dangers of OxyContin but continued to push
sales. According to newly filed court documents. When oxycontin
was first released. Richard Sackler produced former
president and son of the company founder is quoted saying at a
company event that the launch would be followed by a blizzard
of prescriptions. That complaint also says years later, as
evidence of widespread abuse of oxy cotton began to mount
Sackler urged the company to blame addicts allegedly writing
in an email, we have to hammer on the abusers in every way
possible. They are the culprits and the problem. They are
reckless criminals, Purdue pharma telling ABC News, the
Attorney General has cherry picked from among 10s of
millions of emails and other business documents produced by
Purdue, that complaint is littered with biased and
inaccurate characterizations of these documents. Purdue and the
individual defendants will aggressively defend against
these misleading allegations. Now Purdue pharma statement goes
on to say that we continue to fight for balance in the public
discourse so that society can simultaneously help pain
patients in need, and create real solutions to the complex
problem of addiction. The company and Sackler family are
facing dozens of other lawsuits across the country.
That's nice, kill people blame them.
Well, the worst part about it was the idea of behind OxyContin
and their sales pitch was it's not as addictive as morphine or
any of the other. Yeah, thanks, guys. So they went out to sales
to get this stuff not as addictive. So you can just go
ahead.
Why did us write it up? So
is the thing that is also has some ill effects to certain
people. I mean, Rush Limbaugh got strung out. Big time. Yeah.
And of course, he used to be a big anti, you know, he used to
be a big talker about people getting strung out in there. But
then he stopped talking about it. But it made him deaf. Yes.
And it has that affected overdosing on it. And you're
taking too much of this stuff, which apparently just blows out.
I didn't realize I didn't realize that. That's where as
deafness came from, that's interesting. I didn't know
that's what
everybody thinks. And I heard his show. Before he got his
whatever he had some some operations to get his hearing.
Kind of back only is not the same. But he there was a period
of time where I heard him when he was deaf, still doing his
show. But he couldn't hear himself very well. And he did
not sound anything like Russia. It was really, I'm thinking
who's
this guy? Now he has the implants. He has got
some implants and so he's now he sounds like himself again. But
he didn't sound like himself when he was just flying blind,
as it were. And it was a very interesting voice he had it was
not it was not as bombastic And wasn't it wasn't Yeah, he's got
a great voice. So it's, I
guess it gets it. You lose the hair in your ears, which is
exactly what makes you here. Could be it's not good. It's not
good stuff. What Viagra makes you blind. Oh, John. What? What
would it people telling you in that chat room? All right. How
are we doing?
We're done actually.
Unless you want I got that funny one. Okay,
bring one more.
This is B. This is a this is a shorty, this is only I don't
know, eight seconds. This is a man on the system, a man on the
street thing that was done by some podcaster and they was, of
course he laughs a lot at the end which makes it funnier. But
this is a question man on the street question about what is
the Cold War I'm trying
to find old war question. Ah, okay, gotcha, Cold War. What was
that about? freeing the slaves but it was her answer,
freeing the slaves. Cold War. What was that about? freeing the
slaves?
Yes, and we really don't deserve to be a country freeing the
slaves. All right, nice. All right, everybody. That's it for
today's deconstruction. I think we've brought you a lot. We
didn't get to the the Roe v. Wade Conversations. I'm sure
there'll be more outrage over that. It's all posturing. It's
all for votes. It's all about the election and it's quite
disgusting. The way it's being presented on all sides. Sunday.
I think we should try and shed some light and deconstruct
what's going on there. And I'm sure you'll be here then. Yes,
you got time. Okay. I will be here as well. I'll be here.
You'll hear me Robbie. will you guys be Hey, you will you be
coming here from downtown Austin Texas Capitol the Lone Star
State here in FEMA Region number six on all governmental maps in
the five by nine Claudio in the common law condo in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry. And
for Northern Silicon Valley were supposed to be three days of
rain. We haven't had it's not raining, so I think they're
wrong. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday with another best podcast in the universe.
Thanks to Mixmaster Ruthie, Tom Starkweather and Alex and LBG
for end of show mixes. Adios mofos and such
German girl and I have a conversation and I asked her if
she's ever been to Paris. And she says
breaking points Breaking Point breaking point you know what
that means? I've never had a fro never had boy boy ever heard of
it? Or heard of sugar Frosted Flakes?
How much does an 18 ounce box of Cheerios cost? An 18 ounce box
of Cheerios.
From Donald Trump, have you ever used a coupon in your life?
Well, I've never even gone to a strip club really a football
game with my wife so
why? Don't eat Cheerios. I'm sorry. I've never heard of it. I
worked out a lot. A lot of winnings. But me let's look at
the facts of what I've tried to say. Don't eat Cheerios. I'm
sorry. Never heard
of it. And if you go out and you want to buy groceries you need a
picture on a card.
You need ID why? You need Id ever heard of it? Why? You need
ID.
Only Cheerios. I'm sorry. I never heard of it.

and now I have some good news.
