I hate Super Bowl analysis. Adam curry John C. Dvorak.
February 3 2019 This is your award winning get our nation
media assassination episode 1109 This
is no agenda trusting in the
power of the gold standard broadcasting live from the
Capitol the drone Star state here in downtown Austin take us
in the studio in the morning everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where the birds are dropping out
of the sky. Well not here. I'm Jhansi Devorah Raglan buzzkill
please don't tell me you're going to start off with a hoax
oh the dead person Hey,
we got now we got to play it so I can do hoax you
hundreds of birds have fallen from the sky in The Hague, the
Netherlands during a 5g experiment to see how large the
range was and whether the new wireless technology
and what to find outfit was broadcasting this piece that you
thought wow this this has got to be true. This sounds like a real
mainstream outfit here.
I am talking to you on the podcast report
would cause any harm in the local area. News of the adverse
effects suffered by the starlings was slow to break as
initially they think
this is the same report they had for the windmills I just added
5g You know like
by the way, the windmills just another you know and I was over
there. I visited some of the major windmill farms who did
this huge wind was there's no dead anything around those
things no need to be fed there are some feathers of birds
now there were dead birds in the park in the in the Hague but it
seems like there was some poisoning of the birds that's
why they they forbid people from taking their dogs in for a while
hate
the way I looked at it with the with the beginning discussing
dead starlings. I was all in need more dead starlings. We got
him up in Washington State. Hey,
can you can you just imagine if maybe maybe maybe this 5g can
electrify and nuke the grackle problem we have in Austin. Now
that would be a benefit. These birds there they are creepy.
They have their own Yelp page. They do? Yes.
Does anyone have do you have a recording of them because they
make a funny sound?
I can make one I'll make one as we're walking by on Second
Street and they're all in the in the
the little that little zoom?
Oh, that'll sound great in stereo pick them up like a
champ. Now there's plenty of problems with the with 5g. Funny
problems with 5g. I don't think the birds got nukes by this
experiment. That all we had one of our producers is in Canada.
And I guess was a Canada now I gotta think one of the Yeah,
yeah, I think he's on Rogers. And say he has one of those
phones that says 5g. Yeah. And so he did a speed test, a speed
test dotnet I think in in town, and it was like, you know, half
a megabit per second went up to his home and outside of the city
on 4g, you know, 60 megabits per second and stuff is not quite.
So it's working faster on 4g. Of course.
I mean, the 5g stuff? Well, we'll see that it's
nonsense. There's no way they're gonna get fight with their brain
about five megabits per second. It only takes seconds to
download a movie.
Well hold on a second. Now, this is the wrong I just gotta say,
since you weren't you bring this up my experience throughout the
internet and I go aways back, but also from the providing
access either to client servers or otherwise. And it's not so
much about speed. That's the consumer myth that's been sold
to you like, Oh, it's 5g, it'll be even faster. It's about the
throughput. And I have seen throughout my career
consistently for anything for any dual Of course, I did big
websites for you know, for Reebok and Continental Airlines
and Budweiser. But even when we were doing pod show, slash MVNO
slash, whatever the hell it became, the fatter the pipe, the
more bandwidth not speed, the more bandwidth, the more media
is consumed. And that's an this is something important to
understand with this 5g rollout, too. If you're selling if you're
just to say you're selling ads, and on whatever pipe you have,
it can be a huge pipe, you make it bigger, it is just the law.
It's the natural law of physics, you get more accesses and
therefore can technically sell more ads. It's just a fact.
Okay, so that would be a main reason for these idiots to try
and, you know, push this forward. I agree with you. I
don't think it's all that great. And there's health concerns of
course. And what it's really coming down to now is, hey,
everybody don't use Huawei, including Germany as of this
week as the US has asked to German providers to get rid of
their wi Huawei equipment for 5g, which there is some
reluctance towards.
Yeah, well, you spent the money. It's very expensive. Take it,
take it, take the gear back.
Exactly. Very expensive. But here's the thing. I don't think
the market really believes that. I'm looking at the alternatives.
I guess Nokia would be Nokia Ericsson, Nokia, Ericsson, they
both had their trials. Their stock is dead in the water. It's
not really moving anywhere. It's not like people are going oh,
Huawei is out is going to be these guys. I haven't seen it.
So I don't know what this noise is about, or what kind of
guarantees we're going to get or if it even matters. Well, if it
even matters, if you know that somehow the Chinese will be able
to shut down. Well, yeah, the Huawei routers and all of that
stuff. Nice. Did you not learn in podcasting school to hit your
mute button when you snort
a mute button? If someone sent me one I'd use Oh, okay, now
let's go back to the Huawei thing. The next phone I'm
getting is a Huawei.
Well, that doesn't sound like a very smart idea. By me, Have you
not seen Kingsman too? I would be careful.
Nice phone. I've looked at it. They're pretty they got all
kinds of why,
why when you you do a show with me? Twice a week? Why would you
want any kind of smart anything in your hands? Why do you want a
phone at all?
Good sets. I didn't say I was gonna use it.
Oh, it's just to look at it to see how pretty it is. Or this.
You're getting it for free? Maybe that's what's going on? I
wish well, I wouldn't. I don't spend a dime on any smart stuff
anymore.
Yeah, he was just make it big scene
and I walked past and yeah, we have the did I tell you this, we
had the stupid nest because the apartment has nest and you're
not allowed to remove it and all this. And so I've been looking,
you know, soldering
gun? Well,
I did the next best thing essentially, is I turned on my
piehole or my monitoring, and I walked past walked paths. Paths,
the nest immediately sent a pain to its logging server just for
me walking past it. So they're building a profile of what I'm
doing in my own home.
That's disgusting.
Blocked, blocked, blocked. Listen, it's getting it's
getting pretty good around here. You turn on the Roku. You know
if you're the Roku, you have the your overview screen of your
different services. And it has to the right it'll show an ad of
promote something to watch. Yeah, yeah, that's empty now
with me. I've successfully made that box empty. Went away when
you blocked his service. Yeah, maybe it's getting the that
information from the same service. It's or the same
server. It's not even on. Kind of yeah, it's just like, Oh,
this guy's not here. Whatever are these that?
The problem is these things are not consolidated. So the Roku
box because you're clicking on stuff knows you're on board
doesn't know you're on but it just responds to you're clicking
on
just know. Just picking it. No, just picking up the remote. The
Roku
knows you're on. That part knows John. But yeah, so in other
words, these services aren't talking to each other in some,
some micro services. Oh, no, no, not yet. And I say hey, hey,
where's where's my ad supposed to be over here? And the guy
says he's not on? Well, we think he is not doing that.
No. And it's all just the Roku service. And that Netflix is
just talking to home base all the time, when it's not when I'm
not using it. So the app is not selected. Roku is not it's on
but it's not. No app is selected. It's not streaming to
my television. And Netflix is just talking to home base is to
me several times an hour.
A ridiculous waste of bandwidth. These things keep doing this.
Well. And this is another reason no, this is another reason why
5g is the Valhalla for the you know for for Silicon Valley and
all this stuff that is totally going to destroy our lives. It's
already kind of getting there. Ah, yeah.
Yeah, we should do a article together on the pie hole. Oh,
okay. That'd be the pie hole. Building One but yes, it concept
just the idea. The BIA and discuss and experience little
things because nobody thinks that when you turn on the Roku
box says
do you mean when you pick up the wrong mode? The remote no one
thinks about when you just walk through your house. out in the
nest sees you walking that it's reported also pulls in local
weather and I was doing all these different things trying to
make decisions I don't know if they're cloud based decisions or
whatever I just want the thing just to stay at the temperature
I set it to and not be changing all the time. Zephyr some things
are consistent and always on time sorry okay so where do we
when we do this article and then we're gonna we're gonna put it
on nine minutes late by the way we're going to put it on medium
what's our outlet? Where are we going to publish this paper
everybody we got to post on Medium maybe HuffPo will accept
our submission St.
Louis Post Dispatch you get picked up by scripts.
But this is this is really what this war this trade war whatever
we have well it's not just a trade war we still have the CFO
of Huawei waiting to be extradited I mean
me you think that get it over with it? You know it's they
weren't the Chinese weren't so upset of it, they just extradite
her to the United States and then they can make a fuss and
get it she's gonna be in limbo forever if they leave it go on
like this She can't be happy.
Here's the one thing I wanted to ask you considering where the
Internet came from, considering the dominance of the English
language not just on the public internet but in code code is
English. Yeah, traffic control a lot of
it instructions you know the commands very well variables you
can set to whatever you want. It's not wire
be what No, it's just we instructions is lousy
instructions from the wire be Yeah, put wire it be white.
Please wait some time. That's my favorite menu. Please wait some
time. But taking all that into account? Yes, we need to be wary
of China and and their products and what they may be slipping
into certain, you know, we have to be able to see source code of
stuff. But at the basis, do we not only have a head start but
can we not just say that our dudes named Ben are dudettes
named Bernadette are hackers aren't. They must be superior to
anybody else in the world. Why do we give so much credence? I
think our guys and gals kick their ass any day.
You know, this is funny. You brought this up. I don't have
the list in front of me. But JC who manages dudes named Ben has
come up with a whole thesis about what the different dudes
named Ben culturally, which who are the best ones and the worst
ones and the ones that can't do this, the ones that can't do
that I have to get this list from him and we'll sit down and
do it. But he does have one interesting thing, which
coincidentally, kind of backs up to kind of dudes named Ben we
have. He says that the Muslim coders are stunningly superior
to the general Asian code coder.
And can you can you pinpoint as to why that is? I don't know. I
didn't ask. But just in general, just our our, our history, our
legacy, our background. You know, I think that we lost a lot
of ground to Eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe Yeah, he's got thoughts on that too. They work
differently
and Israelis have I think also have a Israel's got to be better
than the Chinese. I just don't see why everyone's all upset
about Chinese hackers and Chinese spying. They're not
they're just not that great.
What about the North Korean spires?
Please? Oh, please. This is an axis of evil. This is bullcrap.
What are they? What are they practicing on?
He did talk about the Chinese quarters having a certain
characteristic blend over very
characteristic. Sure, maybe. But you know, just this is all in.
You know, we had the national threat assessment which is where
Rachel Maddow came out freaking out that the you know, the
Russians can turn off all of our heat everywhere.
Okay, and turn off the heat. And we're using a so cold here I'm
using a space here. It's plugged into a socket as a switch on it.
But you know, the Russians gonna turn that off.
We need to teach some things to our kids. Okay, Russia is going
to turn off a fireplace tip kids need to learn how they're going
to turn off your fireplace. Kids need to learn some certain basic
just as safe sex needs to be practiced. They need to
understand safe use of technology will and then one day
when we retire when we exit rich. We'll start a scholarship
called the Professor Ted scholarship. For for the cyber
prophylactics. Kids need to understand that everyone's given
up.
Everything Yeah, I went down. Yeah, I had
a conversation with a real estate agent. You know, we're
trying to find a house. Something affordable in Austin
and then you have what she has asked me something. So let me
just text Tina. So I pull up my Nokia E 71. And she does the
typical, is that she, she literally said, oh, you know, we
have a brother in our family. He's kind of a project. He's 40,
I think she tried to say he was maybe had some learning
disability on be sensitive. And to know, so we gave him one of
those phones. But he wanted a flip chart comparing me
basically to someone who has a retarded journey, you're
retarded mental ability. And I said, No, the reason I have this
is so that when I'm talking with you, I'm not distracted. So that
when I'm talking with you, I know no one else is going to be
eavesdropping on the fact that we're together. Or that may be
what we're saying. And when I'm talking to you, I want you to
have my undivided attention. That's why I have this small.
And you can working on this wrap. But it's starting to work
when you say these three things. Like, I don't want to be
distracted when I'm talking to you. I don't want anyone else to
know I'm talking to you. And I definitely, definitely want you
to have my full attention, not something that's beeping,
buzzing and flipping and throwing off all kinds of alerts
one
more element, that third element is the same as the first
element.
Okay. Well, we'll work on it. And we'll publish this in our
medium article as well.
You need You need three or you need three, three points.
Well help me out. But number one is. It gets distracted. Yeah,
you're right. It's the same thing. I need a third one. Oh,
no, no, no. Here's the third one. And here is $5. From the
money I saved, I'm not buying an iPhone. How about that?
That's a speed that one is it its app is? That is a bonus.
That's a bonus, or just $1? Or just $1? And here's $1. Because
there's over 1000 people who aren't giving $1 to that I'm not
spending on an iPhone.
Yeah, I think we'll get to three.
We'll work on. So anyway, so no birds, and
she say this, she rolled her eyes and go what a Rube?
She went. So do you do or you
don't have the nose? Probably first oh stop. She was probably
unaware that these phones can be used to see who you're having a
meeting with? The admin if you wanted to do it. Me, I don't
believe because I've heard too many but dialing episodes where
you can listen in on the phone.
Okay, I'm not gonna allow you to pass that fake news off again.
But dials go through a different system than through digital IP
connections. When you're calling if I called you on the phone
right now, it'd be a horrible connection. I call you on Skype.
It's a great connection. But dial phones are not comparable
to any eavesdropping a phone can do. You have to just stop.
I'm not buying a thing. You're saying people usually have the
phone in their pocket. That thing can not pick up. There's
not that good. Okay, I'm not gonna argue there's only some
evidence.
You're embarrassing yourself. I'm not going to argue this
point again with you. All right. What you are correct about is
the proximity. That is the number one tracking these things
do. If you're next to someone near to someone, that's when you
start getting each other's recommendations. That's that's a
big one. That's a big thing that they do. And eavesdropping.
Whether people believe it, kids believe it so you don't even
have to convince them anymore. Even if it's not true that you
ask any kid of course it's happening. They think that it's
that I believe it's purely proximity. Some one of your
friends looked at something the algos know you're together a lot
or want from time to time. There you go you start getting it
that's the whole thing. Anyway, get rid of them
and I'm getting a Huawei Yeah,
okay, well it's nice to know when you
know the Chinese or know who I'm hanging out with.
Yeah, don't come to our wedding without this
guy got his kids a lot of Chinese food. We could probably
turn him
today is the big super bowl
that's a bigger bowl sunday it's
Super Bowl Sunday big event here in the United States of America.
It's being held in what Atlanta right? Yeah. Lana, so they've
cleared out all the homeless camps today I
think they did. I know
they did. Like Hey everybody. It's great. You can be here all
year but now you gotta go to just swept them underneath the
rug. Get rid of them. I think we're gonna have it's always
about the commercials. Of course. We love watching the
Superbowl commercials. Let's see what kind of social justice
warrior stuff will pass by today. I'm sure we'll have some.
Oh, that would be dead baby. The only interesting stuff the rest
of them are just overpriced commercials
I booked Well, I believe I believe that while a Washington
Post has taken out an ad resolution to $5 million to
maybe more than one ad, and they apparently the head of the FBI
one ad is really want it's up to $5 and $5 million for one and
she said somebody I'll look up the price Raziel really high. So
apparently
they have hired Tom Hanks to do a voiceover for this ad. And
then he was obviously about real news only found in the
Washington Post.
Yeah, Washington Post only place it as news The only place that
has actual actual news. It's good news. Oh, good news. And as
is traditional with the no agenda show when it comes to big
events. Now this could be a big event could be the Super Bowl is
an example. It could also be it could also be the Eurovision
Song Contest or the World Cup soccer, we always like to choose
the winner based on geopolitical data points. And with the
knowledge that all major sports games are rigged.
The prices up slightly from last year is 5.2 million.
So that's for 30 SEC's.
Yeah, I think that would be 30 seconds.
What are we doing here?
5.2 million. Let's see. Here's the weird the NBC has an actual
price, I think, okay, it's 5.2 5 million this year. For a 32nd
spot during the championship matchup? Fantastic. $175,000 per
second. Nice.
So what are we doing here? Yeah, well, we'll talk about that in a
second because we have options. But let's talk about the winner.
We have the New England Patriots. Where the New England
pastry pastry, it's where the pastry it's based. Just paste.
The pastries, where are they based? They're all getting fat.
But where? What is their hometown? Boston. Okay, New
England Patriots. And when we play in Boston, they play in New
England.
outside of town we play
around or someplace. And then we have the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah.
Okay. So first of all, we have the president tweeting about how
horrible the refs were even allowing the Rams to make it
into the Super Bowl. So this needs to be taken into account.
Craft and the Patriots owner has said nothing bad about the
President ever, as far as I can tell your buddies. Exactly. So
that is another plus. But I think if you look at the hatred
of the NFL of the league, and the owners against the president
and all that he stands for and the pure power of the goat. I
think the rams are on deck to win.
Well, I think they're on deck to win because they have a better
team. They're inexperienced in these situations. And this will
be Brady's ninth Super Bowl. Yeah. Which is accounts for a
lot. Oddly, 90,
isn't he? Isn't he known as the goat?
Yeah, he's the goat. That's the crazy part. Greatest of All
Time,
right. But the rams are goats.
And the rams are their goats. Yes. In a sense.
So yeah, no, not in a sense. The rams are goat. So I think goat
power.
Good power.
How can you be against goats
goat power to the tune of hot pockets. Another suggestion,
trying to get the lyricist sitting on this end of the
microphone. Go power.
It's, it's more like, let me give it a shot for you, hon.
Let's see if I can do this. Code power
you'd be so off key. And it's two words. It's
hard. It's very hard. I
think that the eye hears right here. I'll take another metal
look at it from a non geopolitical perspective.
Why bother with that? We can watch any any cable news show
for that. But okay, go ahead.
No, I'm taking it from a non geopolitical spectrum.
That's what I'm saying. You can actually look at sports,
if you the point is, is that the rams have been relocated to La
back to Los Angeles from whence they were originated from St.
Louis, which was turning into a mediocre football town. And they
moved into Los Angeles, the big market, one of the two big
markets in New York and Los Angeles being the two and they
and Los Angeles has gone for before the Chargers moved up
there and before the Rams moved back and three years ago, the
rent the Los Angeles Zoo was without football and they were
getting they were doing be just fine with their baseball teams
and with especially with their basketball to dad to basketball
teams in Los Angeles when came up from San Diego. And they were
doing just fine in the NFL saw this as a huge problem, because
this is a massive market. They had to get football back into
Los Angeles. And so they got the Rams they have to win this game.
It just for the purposes of saving the league and the
league. It appears there's documentation people suspicious
of the league fixing these games. And the reason that that
crazy play took place in New Orleans, which was not called in
Oh, yes. Trump's all upset, Everyone's upset. I think
there's reasons. It could have been not called. But everybody
disagrees with that. That was to make sure the Rams got into the
Super Bowl so the Rams could win the Super Bowl to get interest
back in Los Angeles to a peak if they're gonna win easily. Or it
might be exciting, and they'll win at the end. But the rams
have to win this game, because that's what the NFL needs.
All right, the rams have to win this game because they're goats.
And that's it. I'll give him seven points on the spread. Good
to go goats for the go. Now let's talk about options for us.
I'm sure you saw the news that Spotify apparently is in talks
to buy gimlet media
gimlet? Yeah. So gimlet is
this is the former producer or creator of This American Life, I
believe, who spun off and created
a bunch of just American life clones, right.
And we just went through the fact they have 100 people
working on 38 shows they got beautiful studios in Manhattan.
No, wait, is it made Manhattan? What's in it? Yeah, I
think it may be in Manhattan. Yeah, Manhattan, high priced.
So they just had a final round. Let's I want to talk about two
things. One about what Spotify is off road starting off for any
deal when there's a buyout. And it's very shortly after, I think
they've had four rounds of financing. The last round,
reportedly, according to CrunchBase was a valuation of
$70 million, which is not all that huge after four rounds, but
they had four rounds. So they keep having to pump money in to
have this deal not officially announced by anyone, but sources
say I think is very bad. In general, you want the
announcement to be K Spotify bought us for x or maybe not
even mentioned a number to have sources say they're in talks,
the number is 200 million bad. Would you agree from a business
perspective?
Well, it's not ideal. It's not ideal. I don't know that it's
bad. Usually
it means that the deal is not going to happen. Well, not in a
in a stage where it's going to happen. So somebody leaked
something,
or spoke to you sooner Chinese meal. So
once but second? No. So this is the oh, this is great for
podcasting. Well, may be and I wanted to discuss it with you
briefly. We have received an offer from Spotify. For the no
agenda show. We have received an offer with numbers, and it's an
actual deal. I've shared it with you a while back if you recall.
Okay.
You keep talking, you don't
remember? Well, I'm under nondisclosure. I cannot discuss
the details of the offer. But let me tell you that they're
talking big numbers, but complete exclusivity it and
right down to no feed. So it would be I'm not kidding, you
would only be better be really big. They're actually interested
when it's in your email from two months ago. Yeah, you know,
we've been been quiet about it. Because if I were on, I'm under
nondisclosure, so I cannot discuss the elements of the
deal. But if this is really what they're doing, I think they're
gonna have a real hard time. Real hard time making up making
the money for this. You know, it all has to be on Spotify, from
what I understand. You know, what your feed is not your feed
anymore. You can't just like throw it anywhere you want. I'm
sure they'll figure out a way to have a feed that has stuff
included in it or whatever they want to do. But that offer is
being put out to a lot of big podcasters. Now, our problem is
I have no idea how many people how many people listen to the
show. You know, we'd have to go in and quanta qualify the logs
and all that stuff, which I have no intention on doing. But I
just wanted you to know I thought that you hadn't seen
this because you never replied to me about it. But yes, we've
we received that offer and like yeah, you know, it's not really
a podcast anymore. It's a thing on Spotify for that interested?
Yeah, the Oh only thing that's cool. And I personally might be
interested in this is you can do a music show on Spotify, but
there it is, hey, what can we do to get that curry to come over?
I would never, I would never go to DJ. I would never go they
didn't. This was not a part of any talks or any offer. I'm just
saying that. That is something that could be done. I'm quite
happy sitting where we are just doing what we do for now. Let me
see the spreadsheet. Let me see. Okay, well, anyway, I wish the
gimlet media people lot's of luck, and I wish them many ads
in their future. It's getting to be it's really I'd listened to
maybe six or seven podcasts in between our this last episode
and this one. And it's getting a little annoying, because you
have to keep pressing the fast forward button on the ads. And
yeah, Joe Rogan, who had to go head to head haven't pulled
enough clips from Joe Rogan had what's his face from Twitter on?
Dorsey Dorsey. Yeah, but the to now is a member of the Taliban.
You have to go through six minutes of ads in the beginning
of Rogen. I mean, especially in the beginning, everyone's going
to fast forward through that, how can that possibly be
effective? Me undies and the beet juice and all that stuff?
It's how if it's at the beginning of the show, like even
pod say, I gotta I know I'm gonna start pulling clips of
people who think they're really intelligent, have really cool
podcasts such as pod save America, when these guys who are
just sitting there telling you how the inner work has come
from, they worked in the White House, giving you the inner
workings of the White House, and then have to switch and tell you
how great this insurance product is. You can hear their disdain.
They're hating it. Oh, no,
da ha. This is a good point. I've noticed this too. These
guys Shapiro is one of these guys. Same
thing. Yes. Yes. Yes. He rambles. This
is the reason we've talked about this off the air. And we talking
about Leo Laporte. Yeah. Leo Laporte master. He's a master.
He is the vs. Live read from radio where he had to be
sincere, and he had to do all these reads. Yeah. And you
believe it sincere when he tells you that this product is the
best ever. And then they dropped their that advertising campaign
and he picked up another one for the same type of product. And
now this is the greatest thing ever. And he sounds extremely
sincere because he knows how to do these Shapiro. He rattles
through the thing like oh my god, I have to write this. Yeah,
well, you
gotta hear these. The smarmy douchebags from pod save
America, wrote speeches for Obama. And now they're sitting
there reading copy for Squarespace. I find it very
funny. All right, boys, you go in.
And in fact, you have to be this required in this essentially,
this extension of radio personally. I've always been
against this whole thing. When you do, you don't have perfect,
there's like maybe five guys in the country. I mean, Limbaugh
can do a good read, that can do these, they can actually sell
you something on with their manner of selling you by doing a
read of an ad copy piece of paper that sit in front of them,
right, just very few of them. I think the ad should be produced.
On television. Now you don't see anybody on television, stopping
the show, I mean, like it did in the 1950s. And go on and on and
on about something tied
down, man. But as podcasting, we have much more engagement with
the listeners.
I think it's a myth. Yeah.
I think it's a myth too.
When I hear Shapiro going, Oh, my God, you could just hear it
in his voice. He doesn't like these guys. He doesn't like the
product. He doesn't like doing this read up. Give him a pre
programmed ad to run to play.
Anyway, I can tell you that when we do a donation segment about
15% drop off and come right back up after we're done. And that's,
I think that's a good a good drop off. It's minimal. Yeah,
it's very minimal. It comes back. And people I think, have
realized that there's also content in that in that segment.
Yes, and our contents is here because we're not promoting a
product at somebody says here promote this. We're promoting
ours producers and whatever thoughts we have during this
segment.
Now I've been looking at Fox News and CNBC specifically, I
believe they are in they are pre sold in a big scheme, too, to
sell any Altria vaporized product. Those who don't know
Altria used to be known is RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris
Morris. And I think there was one other company that all
rolled up into this Altria, where they rebranded and this is
the guys who bring you the Marlboro Man. So this is the,
this is the cigarette big tobacco, let's call them big
tobacco, the nice name Altria. They saw the writing on the wall
and they purchased jewel for $13 billion, which was largely cash
$13 billion. And that's a vape product. And I've been watching
these ads and I've been waiting for for them to make their move.
And finally, they figured out with a new study no less what we
need to do and what's going to happen. So they have announced
they will be doing self critical ads in the United States. But
also, Jewel has a new television campaign, which fits right along
with a study that just came out
a year long study on the use of E cigarettes turns up some
surprisingly positive results. Jonathan is live with the story
we always
learn. We've had just bad story after bad story and all of a
sudden oh, but it's good. Now
it's here, Jonathan, what's behind the study?
certainly good news for e cigarette users, a team of
British researchers has determined that E cigarettes are
actually more effective in helping people quit smoking than
traditional nicotine therapies such as you were gum that you
chew. How did they arrive at this? Well, they followed more
than 800 smokers over the course of a year. What they found is
9.9% of the group receiving traditional nicotine
replacement, were able to abstain from smoking during that
year long period however, the success rate was almost twice as
high 18% for the group using E cigarettes. This new study
published in the New England Journal of Medicine is likely to
bolster the e cigarette industry which has been trying to market
its products as a safer alternative for adults who
already smoke but want to quit. However, many public health
officials say they're concerned e cigarettes may provide a
gateway to traditional tobacco use among teens because they're
marketed in all sorts of different enticing flavors.
Although e cigarettes lack the carcinogens that you inhale
while smoking traditional cigarettes. Critics point out
that they contain nicotine, which is highly addictive. Yes.
So from now on, they should be referred to as Big Nick. Big
Nick, that's what they are big Nick. Now they're all in this
Hey,
this is right out of the Bernays playbook from the 90s.
Literally when they when he wanted women to smoke. Yeah,
tell the story.
Some bogus story planted, you pay somebody to, you know, you
can do this with most universities that have any
research capabilities whatsoever. Yeah, it's only it
can cost you 10 grand, maybe it might not even cost you that
much. You can go to some of the professor's leading different
departments and say, Hey, I need to do this. I want to find out
whether this does that or not. And I'll pay for the study and
they put the students to work and to do a study and to be
authentic. It'll be the right they have the right stats to do
it. Right. And you get it at UC Davis. So you can go up there
and have them do something on wine. How much is you know how
much sulfites are in button, average bottle of wine, you can
have one study, you can put a report out it's official. And
you can do this with and marketing guys know this, and
they go out and they come up with an idea. And if you if you
put this if you put the research, study together
properly, where you almost guide it by what you're looking for,
I'm looking for this, see if you can prove this. And then they go
out and prove it and they give you the report back now it's
yours to distributor depends on how the deal was arranged. And
you could roll it out. And you could send out a press release,
you know, a press release goes out. It wasn't not a press
release. Was it not that separate from the advertising?
Was it not Bernays who wanted to promote the smoking of
cigarettes by women. And he had wasn't it like some of the as if
they were suffragettes and in a parade walking up Fifth Avenue
smoking in public. That was that was a it was a fantastic
campaign. And he got I mean from that because we got Virginia
Slims and a whole, you know, whole branding. He's the
one who developed the ideas of influencers, brand influencers.
He was ahead of his Instagram time.
And so Brett you know, it's in other words, you get some famous
person Cary Grant, you know, somebody's very famous everybody
likes, and they all admire because he's a big Set Actor and
you have him smoking. You get people you know, I like the way
he looks smoking. I think I'm gonna do that because most
people just look at you know, they have their, their
influencers and they look at him as role models. It's called a
role model. That's where it was all bent out of shape. When
somebody is supposed to be a role model doesn't want to be
one. He's just a punk. And they just condemn him until he
becomes a role model because he's got to in which power to be
just some punk is gonna have a bad influence on the kids. So
this is all part of the scheme. Sure.
I love it. I'm also I'm all for vaping. You know, I'm a big
proponent just like I was, I saw the talking tubes coming down
Broadway, I saw this vaping coming down Broadway. And now
we'll have limited choice. It was fun. While it lasted in our
little cottage industry of making e liquids. I'm sure
you'll be able to still get some illegally from someone made up
in the bathtub, but big Nick is here to stay. And I expect them
to do a lot of a lot of ads denouncing the previous product,
which, let's face it, the cigarette was just the
administration vehicle. It's always been about the nicotine.
Yeah. So now you know, it's everybody wins your clients.
Can't you win, and there's money your clients
don't die as fast from your product. So it's good. Mom, I
think this is a very good development. But Fox News, CNBC
they've been on and from, I think from the get go, because
they've been all over. Oh, yeah. Finally, we have the study. Now.
Now. It's great. Big Nick, to my friend Big Nick.
I remember the time I was listening to Michael Savage, who
was getting all worked up bent out of shape, which is the best
part when he showed his shows always best when he's like
completely freaked. And he's bitching about some guys that
came over to his office and they had this dis advertising vehicle
they wanted to put together and they had a term for it. He was
moaning and groaning he never do this in a million years. And it
had to do with you have to they're gonna give you all this
money to have this one expert has to come on once a week to
talk a little bit about something that they're promoting
and then this and then you have to talk about it favorably. And
all the rest of it and the good news just a very complex one of
those complex advertising deals which a lot of high end
advertising salespeople put together right and says he
refuses to do any throw them out. So they meanwhile he goes
to a commercialized flip the channel to the Hannity show,
which was on at the same time, he's actually doing it. He's
going on as Wow, that's what he's talking about. It's funny
that we guys this corruption, yeah.
Well, we can always go to Spotify. bonafide, we always
talk about we often talk about how things that are, have
clearly been proven demonstrably false and admitted. So remain
true lexicon as true
in the lexicon of what M five M has created for all of us. And
something that is cropping back up. And I think it has to do
with a lot of different circumstances. But Mike Pence,
the big homophobe, this is the this is coming back. Oh, Mike
Pence big homophobe conversion therapy. Now we went through all
of this. And I actually had to go back into into the archives
being at.io If you want to do some research, and this was
about it really was 1414 words Mike Pence uttered I believe,
and from that moment on, he became a guy who wants
conversion therapy for the gays hates Deghayes is against the
gays. So I show, debunk first and then show you what happened
because it's coming back and how it always stays. It remains to
be false in the lexicon. More Mike Pence. So there was a I
think was an a bill and or an opinion on a bill and it was
about money to go towards an anti HIV program helping gay men
reduce high risk sexual activity. And so he wanted to
take away money from one AIDS program and input it into this
other one and the way he described it was he said he
wanted to a tournament I cannot have this debate today is not
about discrimination. I believe that if someone chooses another
lifestyle than I have chosen, that is their right in a free
society, which has been turned into this. I hate the gaze. And
yes, and he said, I'm trying to find this. Here it is. He was
advocating for public spending on conversion therapy in
Indiana. But what he actually said is if someone wants to
choose wants to change their sexual activity to reduce their
risk, which is not the same as saying we're going to ungainly
you, it's like hey, maybe you should change your Sexual, you
may be your promiscuity and use more protection. So you don't
always have you have a lower risk of contracting AIDS. But
that somehow turned into and it's all it's I put it all back
in the show notes. It's turned into who's
ever mentioned conversion therapy, the word conversion
therapy
has never come into it. It was it was literally him saying, I
think this money is better spent in helping people choose a less
promiscuous lifestyle if when it comes to AIDS, HIV and AIDS. But
here's how it was portrayed by Ellen Page actress cutie pie.
She's from she X amount, I think she's in that she's Canadian.
She's not American. So anyway, but she brought down the house
on the Colbert show by propagating this lie
unchallenged, and it was set up and ready to go because when she
talks about her wife, she's married. Cool bear had a picture
of them ready to go of the two of them. And you know, their
wedding picture which he had on a printed board. So this was a
setup thing. And I'm sorry, is just a lie.
I'm like really fired up tonight. This is how you have to
be fired. feels impossible to not feel this way right now.
President and the Vice President Mike Pence, who like wishes I
couldn't be married. Let's just be clear.
Not for sure. Mike Pence is against any kind of marriage
other than between a man and a woman, which is his religious
feeling his vibe. And that's his belief. No, no argument there.
The Vice President of America wishes I didn't have the love
with my wife. He wanted to ban that in Indiana.
No, she said he didn't want me to have the love. Yeah, not
marriage, just
the vice president of America wishes I didn't have the love
with my wife. He wanted to ban that in Indiana. He believes in
conversion therapy.
Wow, that was like British Parliament almost.
That says oh,
oh, yeah. Instead of laugh. Applause Oh,
he wanted to ban that in Indiana. He believes in
conversion therapy. He is hurt LGBTQ people so badly as the
government of Indiana and I think as the
he's the government of Indiana he's not the governor of the
government. Yeah, and he's hurt them thing we
need to know and I hope my show vacation did this in terms of
connecting the dots in terms of what happened the other day to
Jesse I don't know him personally, I saw ice and all of
my love.
This is the Empire actor who allegedly was assaulted by
racist
just subzero weather,
but I don't did they call him gay? Did they say something
about his gayness? Or it was just because he was black know
that he was gay? Yeah, well,
this is what she's saying it was because of the gay guy. I think
he's pretty out. But the story true or not, was about Magga
hats and racism. And now it's about gayness.
terms of what happened the other day to Jesse, I don't know him
personally, I saw ice and all of my love. Connect the dots. This
is what happens. If you are in a position of power, and you hate
people. And you want to cause suffering to them. You go
through the trouble you spend your career trying to cause
suffering. What do you think is going to happen? Kids are going
to be abused, and they're going to kill themselves and people
are gonna be beaten on the street. I have traveled the
world and I have met the most marginalized people you could be
I am lucky to have this time and the privilege to say this This
needs to stop
and of course, this went completely unchallenged by
Stephen Colbert. Yeah, you know, it's okay. I mean, look, I have
I'm not even gonna say that's not the point. This is a lie.
And it's just chatting. What what did what are they what is
going on? Go back to Canada and Quebec to Canada. And to hell?
It Mike I saw him do a speech the other day. The guy is creepy
as a F he's very creepy. He's creepy when he reads is creepy
when he looks when he when he looks at the prompter. He looks
to the side instead of pretending to look straight at
somebody as I shift over someone's got to call him on
that need to adjust that behavior.
But straight ahead and then he looks at
it Yeah, he kind of looks at her in his head and now it kind of
looks in the middle and then still you can see his eyes
shifting that's not good. Practice and, and he comes
across as genuine is a bit creepy, no doubt about it. But
to say that he is that he has spent his life hating gay people
and trying to ruin them. And he believes in conversion therapy
isn't just not true. I don't know. I don't know. It's these
things that just this shameful It is shameful. And what do you
know that there was a five women were murdered in a bank this
week? No, you didn't
know that. No, I didn't actually, yeah,
that guy walks in kills five women? Well, I think it's just
happens to be five women shoots up the place five women die. Not
a blip. Because we're talking about Roger Stone. We're talking
about anything. Now, how can that be more important than the
the gun conversation that we're always having? That for some
reason is not. But then you have just to, to show what happens is
CNN, the most important thing they can talk about to this day?
Is not actual things that matter in Paris and the rest of Europe,
the yellow vests, Venezuela, that even even China isn't even
Russia? No, we have to have a two minute handover and talk
about is it okay to wear a red Maga hat or not?
So you have the legality?
Is Chris Cuomo handing over to Don Lemon? And
then you're the attorney, you can refuse service? You know, no
shirt, no shoes, no spaces, I
think was the San Francisco restaurant tour who said you're
not allowed in my restaurant wearing a maga hat. Which by the
way, I don't think you should be allowed in anyone's restaurant
with a hat at all. Unless you're fast food restaurants. I don't
know what kind of restaurant it was. But you know, it's just
okay. But if you're wearing this hat, you're not allowed to
service.
Now you'd have a counter First Amendment argument you chill in
my rights to private place. Well, then how is this any
different than the Baker with the cake? Well, that was about
refusing service to a group of people that should be a
protected class. And unless you could argue that Trump
supporters should be a protected class, I don't think you have
much of an argument on that.
And John lemon obviously has a lot of privilege in this in this
conversation, because he's black and gay. So he is the has
privilege to speak his mind and be correct.
So let's say this isn't so much about whether he has the right
it's about whether or not it is right. And here's my problem on
this issue. Ordinarily, I go down the line look bigger than
that. But I don't want to fall into the trap of underselling
the significance of the trigger of the expression to people. I
think the more appropriate analogy to say is if people were
wearing shirts, and that said, I hate black people. Would he be
okay to say don't come into my place with that? And I think
most people be like, Yeah, you know, that's how people like him
see the Magga hat. So does that make it? Okay, I think that's
the right word. Question.
Well, the thing is, should you be just because you, yes, that,
but just because you have the right? Does it mean that you
should? Does it mean that you should not be aware again, your
clothes, your clothing, tells a story about who you are, what
you think about and what you represent, right? And also your
life is not in a vacuum. That hat means a lot of things. If
you're going to if you're going to wear that hat, that hat means
everything from out to the beginning of the campaign, maybe
even for maybe that hat means the Central Park Five to people,
maybe it means birtherism to people, maybe it means you know,
Mexicans are rapists to people. And so you cannot erase those
things from the story of that hat and say, Well, I'm just
wearing it because I want stronger immigration. Well, a
lot of people want strong immigration. It just can't be
about what you want it to be about. There are symbols and
things in the society that you have to take
as a whole. My point is this is not news. This is unhealthy to
consume has nothing to do with news actual news taking place
all around us
it was doing the job as you could tell when he talked about
the wearing the T shirts as I hate black people. The sociation
we've been hearing this on and on associating the hat with all
sorts of things to make to to lock down the association that
the hat is bad. And we've seen this this in this case it was to
associate the hat with wearing a shirt that says I hate black
people they hat obviously means that yes, it's just getting
annoying and that CNN is just just can't stop doing it.
That's all they seem to do. It's it's just it's tiring. It's very
tiring.
I did have a tweet I didn't printed out here but CNN they
had on their news site. They have this. This assertion. It
could have been a hoax.
I saw this. I know exactly what you're gonna say. It could
be a hoax. But I don't think No, I
know I saw the article. It's in the show. I was the they have
that article on cnn.com.
It does the argument asserts that the when the Europeans came
to North America, and had killed all the Indians, let's say, just
to generalize, they didn't, but they may otherwise it wouldn't
be any left. But they kill all these Indians. It was the it was
the genesis of climate change.
And it was because they weren't farming the land anymore. And so
there was so much vegetation that grew that we had. No, what
what is their assertion? That doesn't make any sense?
No, what I'm going to stop right there. It doesn't make any
sense. It
had something but it had something to do. Okay, I have
the article here. Let's take a look at it. European colonizers
killed so many Native Americans that had changed the global
climate researchers say that that's what that's what the
claim is. So when Europeans arrived in the Americas, they
cause so much death and disease disease that it changed the
global climate, a new study finds a new study. Yeah, from
science knowledge
about how those are done. Yes.
European settlers killed 56 million indigenous people over
about 100 years in South Central North America, causing large
swaths of farmland to be abandoned and reforested.
Researchers at University College London or UCL estimate
the increase in trees and vegetation across an area the
size of France resulted in a massive decrease in carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere. How can that be bad? carbon levels
change enough to cool the Earth? Okay, by 1610. Okay, so they're
doing a reach around reverse.
What they're trying to do is there's a bunch of the families
I see in the historical record about global warming, it doesn't
seem to be as he's really had more to do with the sun than
anything else. And so they're trying to shoehorn theories
weighed to why this might be this is a shoehorn theory.
So by this, so to combat climate change, I'm sorry to combat
global warming, we can change the climate by colonizing.
Hello, China. Let's colonize it'll be great. I learned from
NPR besides the fact that weather and climate are two
separate things, do you know who created the term climate change?
Oh toe, I should know this. And I am now I feel like I'm in mud.
I'm going you know what I'm, I'm going to let you sweat it out.
And we'll listen to the report. Well, media organization, by the
way, the guy who was talking about climate and not not the
host, is NPR is media guy. So he's not the climate climate
researcher. He's he's giving his opinion and his analysis of how
the media are handling climate change, climate change issues,
climate change deniers, and in fact, the history of the term
itself.
Well, media organizations, including NPR have pointed out
the connection between the polar vortex and the Midwest, and
climate change. I noticed on a network news show which are
often criticized for not making that connection to climate
change, David, how have news organizations evolved in I'm
sorry, that was
a shitty edit. I took out a whole piece of something
unimportant so I'm sorry about that.
Well, I stopped it. Yeah. This was part of the movement this is
a good Al Gore when he chewed out Judy for even suggesting
that they have a counterpoint on climate change. And this is part
of the that there was a big stink, we had it on the show. We
discussed it about how anytime any weather anomaly is reported
climate change should be brought into this came from Lear by the
way, the Lear Foundation, those most likely they have to mention
climate change. Now he's condemning a network news report
that apparently just talked about the weather. Yes, without
without making the connection and climate change. This is a
faux pas, I guess. Well, and
actually I'd have two clips or will continue this. Recall that
first it was Hey climates or weather is not climate. But then
it turned into extreme weather events. Now that is because of
climate. And the biggest problem they had was with the local
weather forecasters and of course we had the the founder of
the Weather Channel who passed away recently who to his death
remained saying this is the biggest hoax ever. So we pick it
up again. With with this David guys
for not making that connection to climate change, David, how
have news organizations evolved in connecting these extreme
weather stories to the overall trend of climate change?
CBS This Morning no pools in acknowledging that role you've
seen there sort of increasing efforts by scientists and some
journalists with specialty in the area to incorporate that as
the science seems to be clear about not just the fact that the
that manmade emissions, carbon and the warming of the
environment are present having an effect, but that you can
start to make connection to individual events. And so you're
starting to see here that that is a change, you used to see
particularly meteorologists on TVs, especially local, but also
national TV, really resist talking about climate, they're
gonna say, we're talking about whether climate is global
climate is a whole different layer there, it's too
unpredictable. Heck, we have trouble predicting more than 10
days out. And what you've seen is sort of a joining of
meteorology and climate science to say, yeah, these things are
interconnected in real way. And therefore you can start to see
this in all kinds of coverage from local TV, to national
newspapers.
And then there is Brian Kilmeade, here on Fox and
Friends on Fox News. Listen,
you know, it was true that climate change became climate
change, when global warming wasn't adding up to global
warming, it was getting very cold. And then people say with
though the temperature went up a couple of degrees ago will
change. It was using climate change. So anytime there's a
tornado, a typhoon a flood, what did I tell you? And then their
head starts the debate,
David, what about that have we got past that where where we can
recognize that global warming is the overall trend, even if it
means severe winter storms,
with climate change really means is there's global warming and
the atmosphere is warming and all kinds of other things are
warming. And at the same time, it's calling out all kinds of
weather, disruption and spikes and in all directions, you know,
the real thing is, in some ways that climate change became very
much part of the political event vernacular, in the 1990s, in
part as a result of Newt Gingrich, the Congress that came
to power in 1995, in opposition to the Clinton White House
wanted to call it something that seemed less threatening than
global warming. And they they focus group tested the phrase
climate change, and it seemed less threatening to people at a
time, they're trying to hold down certain kinds of
regulation.
I didn't know this. You're telling me the Republicans under
Speaker Newt Gingrich came up with this, they focused test
that it's all in a focus group. And this is what they can and
now we're left with this thanks to them. Wow, I didn't I don't
know if this is true. But it's it sounds very believable,
which is still alive. He verify it. Yeah.
But like, Wow, way to go. Good work. He, Newt. So what is the
media's responsibility and all of this? We'll just finish out
the segment since we've got it. So
what are the media to do when President Trump tweets out? You
know, global warming? Come back fast. We need you. Is it the
media's responsibility to then do a whole fact checking session
about that?
Well, let me ask you, this, John Claude, is it the media's
responsibility to watch to fact check and do what he just said?
Check a sarcastic remark. How do you leave in fact checks up like
that? Or did they just let it go? either set it or he didn't?
There's your fact check? Did he say it? Yes. Okay, fact check,
is a true
fact check false, the
media's responsibility to then do a whole fact checking session
about that, or do they just let it go?
You know, I don't think the media has to in every element go
after the individual tweet. I do think it's not very simple to
read. He's got the to really to say, you know, the president
without any evidence, as you know, we there's no such thing
as global warming. I think that the the media and reporters and
journalists need to perform a civic and educational function
of the public to say this is what the science shows and
incorporate that into its mentality better
modeling does crap.
Stay with it simply
just hive that off in the fact checking columns as useful as
those can be for enduring correctives? Online, I think
that the media has to be front and center and confident about
reporting what it knows, make sure to contextualize it making
sure not to overstate what science says, but to say, you
know, it is appears increasingly certain that such severe weather
spikes of winter chill or have summer heat appear to be
increasingly likely as our more tornadoes and hurricanes and the
like as a result of, of climate change,
which of course we haven't really had for 15 years, but I
think
that's that's journalistically valid and important thing to do
for the public so they can make choices that affect their own
lives.
Okay, so now we get into my favorite topic is, you know, how
many people don't believe it in the scientific community? And
how many of those voices do you allow to speak in your public
air for airwaves?
We produce this show in association with the BBC World
Service and the BBC, told staff last year not to include
outright deniers of climate change in BBC coverage in the
same way you would not have someone denying that Manchester
United one, two to nothing last Saturday. Yep. How common is
that in newsrooms,
don't you love that and algae is fantastic
right now to send out a message
from the top saying it was a false analogy. You know, the guy
says it's a false analogy, doesn't he? Say?
Click changing BBC coverage in the same way you would not have
someone denying that Manchester United one, two to nothing last
Saturday. Yep. How common is that in newsrooms right now to
send out a message from the top saying, here's how we're going
to do it?
Well, in some ways, the bead, well, one of the world's great
news organizations is a little late to the party. It's been a
few years since even cable channels in this country, by and
large have been willing to put on climate change. denialists,
shall we say, people who reject the science just on the basis of
what's convenient for them ideologically,
Oh, how about actual scientists who reject it, but that's okay.
And the BBC, which has a statutory mandate of
evenhandedness was overcompensating that is, you
know, if one and a half percent of scientists are so believed
that you
wait, now it's one and a half what happened in 97%? We went to
Issei. So he went, Well, you know,
is it a mistake they keep making? Well, it's, I know why
they're doing it. I lead again,
for them ideologically. And the BBC, which has a statutory
mandate of evenhandedness was overcompensating that is, you
know, if one and a half percent of scientists are so believes
that you can't really attribute climate change to manmade
emissions, or the like, it's not fair to balance that out one on
one with somebody who believes that is the case he was that
represents 98% of scientists and use.
First of all, he's missing a half percent here or there. But
it used to be 97. Now, it's 98 and a half, or maybe it's 98. I
saw that and things. And,
yeah, it was originally 97% of climate scientists who already
wrote reports on it, which is what has been overlooked because
then it became 90% of
all scientists know 90% of climate climate scientists, then
90% of all scientists, and then just let anybody that was, then
it was just like this
ship can't really attribute climate change to manmade
emissions, or the like, it's not fair to balance that out one on
one with somebody who believes that is the case. That
represents 98% of scientists. And you saw that and things in
Britain over the questions debate about the economic
effects of Brexit. You've seen it in this recipe and certain
things, we've had to work out the fact that is oppositional
debate in which we stage a lot of our journalism through
argumentation doesn't work when the science is so clearly on one
side.
Clearly, not on one side,
no
one's gonna play Sunday. This is just to discuss direction now
they need to get this number up to 100% or close to it, so they
can keep people off the air for making the opposite argument.
Unfortunately, can't keep them offline. There's a lot of people
that have websites and they have mail to shut them down. That
have very good arguments as to why this is a bunch of bullcrap.
But and they're scientists, some many high end scientists and
some very famous physicists. Some I'm sorry, some Nobel Prize
winning
people. We all know the director from our own scientists Dr. Kiki
Shut up already. Science is quiet. And with that I couldn't
be quiet I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to the man who put the sea in climate change John C
double
well in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry. Also, in the morning
all ships to see boots on the ground. feet in the air subs in
the water and the dangers of nights out day in
the morning to our trolls in our troll room. That's no agenda
stream.com is where they congregate every Thursday and
Sunday morning and listen to the show chat amongst themselves
throw out sarcastic one liners and often help very much with
the production of the show. It is appreciated such and such no
agenda show no agenda stream.com Also in the morning to Uncle
cave bear. He brought us the artwork for episode 1108 was a
lot of good art once again. We selected them I remember what we
selected the dingbat found in case of Bernie Sanders. And
there was there were a number of reasons for this, but one of
them that we wanted to mention is we have to stock I think two
or three stock templates you can add to any image on that no
agenda art generator.com And we're seeing more people come up
with their own new templates and they're kind of appealing to us.
Yeah, and there's one that we're taking a dislike to have the
templates
that I like the is that the Illuminati kind of all seeing
what I want. Yeah, it's too small and it's now and it
doesn't it doesn't contrast well and we recommend not using it.
But we do recommend just designing a complete piece
without the template and posting that. Also good. Yes.
Which is what this guy did. Yep. Yeah, like very much.
All right, so we have few people to thank for show what 1109 or
two shows away from 1111 1111 or
one show away once Well, after this one, one more than
1111 1111
which will be the next Sunday. There'll be no Super Bowl on

Yeah. James Smith is a top donor. It's $333.33. And I
thought I saw a note from him.
You said you had you had an additional no idea.
But that's not James Smith. Okay. Next. All right. All
right. This is let me see if I got a note from James Smith in
the mail because there shouldn't be because I thought I saw one.
James Smith and I get to Smith at the bottom. Yes. And
now there's a lot of there's a lot of M Smith these days. Yes,
M Smith. So it's m Smith is pissed off at me. Yeah,
that's a good reason.
No, not for good reason.
That's what she says.
Yeah, she should doubt. It always goes like this. John
says, listen to the show. That's what I said. Do you have a yet?
Do you have a yes.
Well, I get a John Smith's from January 2, where he says Viva
Gillette's yawns in the newsletter he says I didn't have
enough that there's no I got nothing from James. So I don't
know what to say. James, you got something to tell us. Send it to
us in an email or something? Yeah, because next we have
actually this got misplaced. This is T oldal. Staying with

Let's vote for jobs. Karma
Yeah, oh, wait a minute. Smear now. I saw this unibit I hear it

check in when they said the time and I did that because I
remember reading it. He's actually runs a thing called
neighbors feed and seed in Smyrna, Georgia. Looks like a
good place to get a couple of cards you sent me because it is
a feeder seed. Just in case for most I need a D douching.
You've been D deuced.
I'm going to tell you what he's gonna request at the end before
I read the note. Okay. A small business karma and Al Sharpton

First and foremost, I need to de douchey I had been listening

metro Atlantic area come by the shop and say Hello Neighbor and
the name of the place again is neighbors and fancied neighbors.
Neighbors is on the face Bay and some as well. Keep up the good
fight. I punch as many people in the mouth as I can a small

Smith.
All right. Thank you for your courage night is the measure of

It's a fan favorite,
guys great. Matthew Hamilton, by the way, they pay him tons of
money at Emmet to be on MSNBC. I think he's still there on the
weekends. During a daily show,
that's before the extortion racket that he runs.
In Hamilton 321 33. John donation from the host of the no
agenda social whose alcohol induced tinnitus is really
beginning to strike a nerve could be from your Wi Fi. I have
a long flight tomorrow, and I'm counting on no agenda to get me
through the cross country trip thanks to my wonderful wife
putting up with my nonsense about being married before
December 31 2018. I'm now married filing jointly. So I'd
figured I'd give the no agenda show a cut of the action. I'm
also using this as nice thank you. Thank you very much. I also
am using this donation as reminder myself to send John a
picture of our cat to use in the newsletter, cat pictures in the
newsletter make donations go up. So I'm doing my part. There may
be some evidence of that. I also need to send John a video of
BART grinding the tracks outside my apartment at 3am. Okay, I
have to say something after this. I read
this by this by the way just so you have some context. This is
Aaron owner. He he was kind enough was over a year now to
take over the the actual administrative duties for no
agenda social.com which has a lot of crap, because it's you
know, it's tons of bandwidth and images. And so I didn't know he
was a drinker. So this is interesting. Interesting.
Well, you'd be too running no agenda, social.
Exactly. And meth
and they'd send a John a video of BART growl. Okay, let me just
stop did the middle of this note. So the BART de berry rapid
transit system. I remember when it was first. It first was built
several Lam. And I remember when they pushed it through and they
got the people to vote for it after trying a few times and
they again they put this guy George silom and I think was his
name. He was a gas station. He owned a gas station in the
middle of nowhere somewhere I think that warm springs or
Dakota or someplace and it was he kept running for office and
running for office. He finally got the job and he got the job
as head of BART. But in the promises was we're going to use
these heart these special heart rubber tires. That won't make
any noise. There was promises of the system being silent. I want
to just remind everybody I was there I remember this this
debate. Oh, it's gonna make too much noise these noisy trains
going overhead? No, no, they're not gonna make any noise.
Because we have these special hard rubber tires that won't
make noise, they won't squeak they won't make noise. They make
so much noise. They've over 100 decibels if you're under one of
these tracks, not all the trains make all the noise but many of
them do. And so this is what he's bitching about and I'm just
gonna say this type of promise you get from your government.
The Golden Gate Bridge will always be free to drive over a
Bay Area bridge free after the first five years of 10 cent
tolls three after that. So this bullcrap these guys just lie to
get these things done and this continues to this day, and
nobody remembers I do I remember the silent trains. Anyway, I
also need to send John a video of BART grinding that tracks
outside my apartment at 3am Bart shouldn't be going by at 3am I
supposed to stop running at one
now the grinding the tracks. Maybe so that means there's
smoothing something out there.
This is possible because it's obviously the best time for yeah
trackmate
Oh, there you go track maintenance. Yeah,
I see that better. That's noisier than anything. Speaking
of no agenda social fuck Gargan for making Mastodon was Ruby and
not create crediting me with reporting a severe denial of
service vulnerability that he silently fixed after I reported
it. And is getting it out of here.
Oh, wait. Oh, big news here. No agenda socialists moving to

news. There was no meeting
Adam, Excel your vape faster so you're not commenting on clips?
Well, you have a frog in
your throat Says the guy doing a drunk donation.
Also LA is the worst I hate it.
I love our dudes named Ben, thank you very much.
So let's do it. Let's talk about this what is what is I don't
know anything about this. Roma.
If you look at the history of Mastodon it really started with
good new social, new social, and you know the the concept of the
Fetty verse. And so all these different things came in and
just like podcasting as to who started who was first, who's
important, who's the big kahuna. And Gorgon manages the GitHub
repository for Mastodon and Pleroma is a break off a fork
fork a fork of people who are pissed off at this guy is your
typical open source shit, it's the same everywhere it's
political. It's you know, and you know, it's stuff like this
the the guys that hey, you got a problem with your Ruby on Rails
implementation? And it's you know, fixed without going
through the official process. And I guess crediting Aaron or
with with having found it, this is the dude named Ben stuff. I
don't understand that much. It's you know, they have their own
political
sphere he apparently is supposed to be credited if you did
something good and
believe me just this announcement moving to pleura
OMA will will have a never ending thread on no agenda
social and no doubt. Is it goes bad. Should we do it? You I
think all fit if as long as it connects to the fediverse I'm
good with it. And thank you very much for all of your courage.

unable Kirby says I should have mentioned I was listening to the
show in the shower jumped out to record this then jump back into
rinse off.
That's just dedication.
Dedication. Hey, honey,
what are you doing? I thought you were in the shower. Right
back. No, don't worry about Yeah, but
I just gotta just gotta do a little go power thing. Oh my
goodness. We have some great, great jingles today in end of
show mixes. Sir Chris Wilson is back from one of his digital
detox. hiatuses
she's going to distance the she's going to leave all alone,
alone in a time of greed. Because she's scheming and
meaning collecting HR and she's fighting and biting lying all
the time. She's going the distance.
Yeah, that's right. He's got a whole Hillary mix.
That was good. Yeah, now started by going to distance. So I got
just a beginning of Tulsi Gabbard announcement that she's
going to be running for office, which I want to play. Because
it's just most it's under the title low energy.
Now wait, is this the hook? Because we played a couple of
different things. Which one is this?
I don't know. It's one of the ones is this the one that was I
joined the beginning of it because it just was like almost
going to die. Hey, by the way, it was just about to knock me
out. You know, asleep and I had to like I struggle to hit the
button to stop it recording. Otherwise I would conked out and
it could have gone hours since we need to
see must begin in the White House. Because the White House
should be a beacon of Aloha respect, love and compassion for
every American. Our nation was founded on the values and
principles of putting service before self rejecting the rule
of kings who prospered from the sacrifices of the people and
forming a new nation founded on the premise that leaders should
be motivated not to serve their own interests, but to serve the
people.
Yeah, I think it was one or two shows ago when she did this
apology because now she got railroaded immediately for
having a conservative stance as a much younger human resource
wizard father had about marriage between being between a man and
a woman, which Obama had and Hillary had and everyone had it
at the time. And so they changed. But she's not allowed
to change but they're pulling a different tactic on her. NBC is
doing this. This is how they definitely get rid of her
headline. Russia's propaganda machine discovers 2020
Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard, experts who track
websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of
a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi
Gabbard, so they're already saying, oh, yeah, she's got
Russia on her side.
I should mention this because you had this. I liked her too.
Until I found out she was a member of the Council on Foreign
Relations. And I figured, well, well, what's the point of that?
How'd she get on?
I think her cuteness factor makes up for a lot of that.
She's very cute. Yeah. Now that makes up for it.
But ditch that you said she's a danger. She's going to have you
know, she's something to keep an eye on
at the time it John, we're talking four years ago.
And you went out? You know, more recently, you said no, no, no,
no, no. Yeah. More recently before she came, you know, like
I'm saying like a year ago.
No. Okay. I love her. I still like her, but she has zero.
That's why you and I let me get to my real point. Which is that
one of the major lib Jos who I keep in touch with says, I think
Tulsi Gabbard is the way to go. Excellent. So I want you to
that's telling me here's what it tells me it tells me uh, you
know, you have known crackpot and a lib Joe. Both are looking
at Tulsi Gabbard as a potential president. Does that get done?
No, no, no, no, this is no good. So they're going after her.
She's gonna get knocked out quick. Yeah, well, she I don't
think they have to do that. Because she's so dull.
Well, if you were on the if you were a part of the show a couple
of weeks ago, when I played the apology and said she has
absolutely no chance and she's toast. We wouldn't even be
having this conversation. But the fact that but no, no, no,
no, let me make my point. The fact that your lip Joe friends
said that, I would like you to check in with the lib Joe after
this knowledge because you know, this is NBC. So your lip Joe
friend has seen it and say, Hey, what do you think now? Because I
would like to hear if the person well, clearly she's got because
the reason why they're doing this is because of her 2017
meeting with Assad in Syria. So they're saying that because she
met with Syrian dictator Assad. Now Russia is helping her. So I
want to see if your lib Joe picks up on that line or that he
stays mostly on the progressive side of things, and I doubt if
you watch his NBC, but we'll see. The reason I brought it
back up Was it because you already dismissed her two or
three weeks ago. It's because of the limp Joe connection. I got
to bring that in which brash, rationalizes why they think
she's a threat, because we have somebody extreme opposites of
you and the lip Joe. Most of the times you've had Oh,
I got you so she's a doctor. I gotta check you right she she's
a threat because both crackpots on both sides of the scale can
get along with her. Yeah. Oh, well, she has to go.
She has to She's no good take a chance she has to go. Take her
out sooner than later.
So while we're talking about elections, and meddling and
Russian interference, our friends up north we're gonna get
my nation proper here in Canada Navia have announced something
very important. They have a plan they have a protocol,
we expect the social media platforms to take concrete
actions to help safeguard this fall's election by promoting
transparency, authenticity, and integrity on their platforms. I
have initiated conversations with the social media platforms
to identify these actions. As a starting point, we are looking
for a commitment from social media companies to implement
changes here in Canada that they have already applied in other
countries. I am also announcing the critical election incident
public protocol. The protocol establishes a simple, clear and
impartial process to inform Canadians of a threat to the
integrity of the 2019 federal election. It is designed to
avoid the kind of gridlock that could prevent an effective
public announcement. The core responsibility for the protocol
resides in a group of senior civil servants.
Yes, so they've taken these five old guys which I think are In
this next clip, and they have given the algorithm a badge. And
this badge says, at any point, when you feel that you need to
call something out as fake news, although it's not implied that
way and how they're explaining it, you have the authority to go
before the can the Navy and peoples and say this is fake
news. This particular clip they talk about, I think the the host
is talking to this woman who you just heard about the SWAT team
of, of, of the Ministry of Truth, how what guidance
you're giving this, this this group to say, here's the moment
you have to tell Canadians is a tipping point. So
I mean, it's going to be context dependent and context specific,
which I
love. I don't know what that means. But sounds to me, like,
we kind of make up the rules as to when we could do this or when
it's important, where we think it is its context,
what we have said is the threshold needs to be high, it
needs to come into question whether the elections will be
free and fair for them to be able to inform the Canadian
public, it's a group of five, right, you've got the deputy
ministers of Global Affairs, public safety, and global
affairs, public safety, and I love her she can't remember the
National Security Adviser, the clerk of the Privy Council to
make sure that they are having a conversation. We don't want a
situation where one official is trying to determine whether or
not they should do it. And the minister and the Deputy Minister
of Justice, sorry, to really, you know, protect Canada, right.
And so they will be looking at, you know, things that have gone
on around the world that have called into question other
electoral events, and thinking about how that applies in the
Canadian context.
Did you understand what she said? No,
it's bullcrap. She's just yakking away. And here's what's
gonna happen. If I was the Russians, or I was trying to
mess with them or not even in Russia, some guy in a basement.
Yeah, I would inundate them with bullcrap to take those
Macedonian kids who really hated Hillary, they put all his
websites up, just have them crank stuff out. So they'd be
there'd be singing, raising the flag so much that nobody would
take them seriously.
The the, the obvious question is, will this this team of five
be able to invalidate the elections? Or what's going to
happen? Is there a point where this group or some group could
say there's been so much interference, this elections and
valid?
Well, I think what's important to note is that whatever
Canadians decide, right, and when we started, let's take a
step, right? Because one of the things that we can have
confidence in is that we have paper ballots here in Canada. So
if the ballot box isn't stuffed, if the results aren't tampered
with, the election results are valid, right? So right, it's
Canadians making the decisions when they go into that ballot
box. What this group will be determining is if there's been a
disinformation campaign or something that has so altered
the discourse that Canadians need to know where this
information is coming from, that's what they would be
alerting Canadians to. But ultimately, Canadians are going
in marking their ballots casting their ballots and making those
decisions. Our job is trying to provide them with the tools and
the resources necessary to make informed choices.
So what i i Of course, I did research this and it sounds like
a lot of gobbledygook. But the idea I from what I understand is
this panel will be able to say that news story is fake news
there. So they become the news guard. You know, here we have
commercial companies like publicists, the actual
advertising agency, running the news guard, X browser extension
to tell you if something's fake or not, you know, they're just
doing it to make sure that no ads from their clients run on
anything that's controversial. That's why they're behind it. In
this case, they're taking one step further, and they're
allowing this panel of five to say, That's fake. That's fake
news. And that's taking it a little further than we've done.
Yeah, this is gonna be a fiasco worth following. That's exactly
what I was gonna go written all over it.
It does. Let's see how you know we have hot we hold Canada in
high regard here. Now they've got their, their their prints.
Pretty much in the same regard. We hold Venezuela. Oh, well,
hold on.
In that case, when Maduro
comes out to play, we'll send in the CIA. Venezuela is our cash
cow. So give up now.
Nice Chris Wilson. Democracy Now of course, everybody all in big
major news media. Excuse me, is all in with Yes. This is the
best Fred to look at these protesters. They go as far as
the eye can see there's half a million of them. They all hate
Maduro. They All everybody's bad. So and that's the one side.
But democracy now being the socialist operation that it is,
is not buying it and they're just sticking with this guy who
is a loser. But they're sticking with this guy and his and his
nonsense because well, you know, the Cubans like I mean, we want
to, we like to Cubans, us, socialists, so let's listen to
how they're handling this thing because it's a foregone
conclusion. I think, unless something weird happens that
Maduro is going to end up getting kicked out of there. But
just Venezuela report on DN.
US fact effort to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas
Maduro is just the first step and the Trump administration's
plan right now.
Is US backed after it began. I think that people that argued
that this was actually a and NBC had a lot of good clips on this,
that this was something that was initiated in Venezuela now it
could have been started by us, but us back makes it sound like
reviewing or sending troops and it's just a very poor way of
putting it
I just have to say yes, it's a US back plan. Of course it is.
It's it appears it appears to me that the Venezuelan people like
our plan, but to say that this was not a complete us plan that
this guy is not no The guaido is not our guy from
mommy's obviously Oh, God stop listen to this
military helicopter past all this head. But the security
force BBC listen says kept their distance. Speakers told the
crowd this was a moment of history. A moment of hope for
Venezuela. Beaming on stage the man many now looked to as a
savior Kuan guaido already being cold. Venezuela's Obama, he's a
powerful symbol, but an untested leader.
I heard that first right here on this show. I heard it from you.
Yeah, they're Obama. Okay. So
when he's there, Obama anyway, okay. We'll just let it slide
one way or the other. But it is us back now. But these guys
aren't what you just heard there is not the same as what
democracy now is. No, I
understand. It's not feeding us. It's only feeding us. Yes.
Feeding
the socialists and 10 listeners. I make it 11.
Has AOC ever been on that show? Oh, yeah, I think so. Well, I
want to know who was really watching this show?
Well, I am because I think they The reason I watched Democracy
Now, because people would say I never heard of this show. It's
been on for like 50 years. It is always left leaning. It's been
on for a long time when we first started doing this, these clips
on our show. I was bitching about Amy, you know, a decade
ago about how she never combs her hair, and she doesn't use it
to make
the important things of television production as you
should.
Yeah, well, it was just a commentary on that. It wasn't
really. The fact is, they cover a lot of stuff on that show that
nobody will touch. I have a couple of examples today. So I'm
a I'm a by us. Democracy now has a nice buffer and is completely
the opposite kind of coverage. So this is what we get. But
let's listen to
it. Well, just as a quick aside, I do like that. You identified
him as Obama, that Obama is of course, if you look at the whole
comparison guaido is a US asset, probably CIA. What does that
tell you? Georgetown? What what does that tell you about Obama,
the US backed effort to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas
Maduro is just the first step in the Trump administration's plan
to reshape Latin America with Cuba next on its radar. Whoa.
According to the report, the US is planning to announce new
measures against Cuba in the coming weeks, including new
sanctions and restoring cubist designation as a state sponsor
of terrorism. The move could seriously hamper foreign
investment in Cuba. According to The Wall Street Journal, the US
then plans to target Nicaragua in November National Security
Adviser John Bolton dubbed the three nations the troika of
tyranny.
Hmm, yeah. Nobody else reported on that.
The troika of tyranny. And we actually had that we
reported on the Fed DS going after Cuba next.
Well, that would be our information refining producers.
Send us information about the G two being in control of
Venezuela G two is Cuba's intelligence agency. Right. So
that would make sense in in this context.
Exactly. Well, it's just the part two of this report. And the
latest
news from Venezuela opposition leader and self declared
President Juan guaido said he's reached out to both Russia and
China. The two countries are Venezuela's top foreign
creditors and have refused to recognize why those claimed to
be president. This comes as Reuters is reporting the Maduro
government plans to sell Gold from central bank vaults to the
United Arab Emirates for cash as new sanctions from the US
threatened to further Pepa Venezuela's economy. There are
also reports the Venezuela owned oil company, Cisco is
considering filing for bankruptcy. On Thursday,
hundreds of workers from the state owned Oil Company PDVSA,
marched in Caracas in support of President Maduro. This is Vice
President Delcy Rodriguez addressing the march. Market,
all
masks have been removed from DONALD TRUMP, President of the
United States from his vice president, the dislocated Mike
Pence, from the National Security Adviser John Bolton,
all without exception, have said they're coming for the oil of
Venezuela. And what is our response? Yankee hands off our
oil industry. They will not return to govern Venezuela or
come to take our oil.
Well, he may have a problem on his hands. Because it looks like
the visa idea that I told you about that we had offered visas
American visas to the Venezuelan army. Yeah, looks like it works.
Another massive anti government rally in Venezuela's capital
Caracas calling on President Nicolas Maduro to resign. They
want opposition leader Juan guaido Who has the backing of
the United States to take over and now a general from the pro
Maduro military has switched sides. I don't recognize the
dictatorial authority of Nicolas Maduro. And I recognize lawmaker
Juan guaido as interim president of the Bolivarian republic of
Venezuela. 90% of the Bolivarian armed forces are not with the
dictator, a lot with the Venezuelan people. suela
dictator has everyday two planes ready, he should go. Later on
Saturday, Maduro promised holding parliamentary elections
earlier than planned. 3 million Venezuelans have already voted
with their feet and fled the country.
Now, I wanted to go back to that clip by the second clip from the
Democracy Now, where they were the Vice President of Venezuela
under Maduro was going on and she mentioned Trump and the
dislocated pence.
Oh, I didn't catch that. Yeah, the dislocated pence. Yeah. Is
that in the beginning of the clip, where is that
it's in the middle of the clip with the latest
news from Venezuela up crept up further. On Thursday, hundreds
of workers from the state owned oil company paid a vase, marched
in Caracas in support of President Maduro. This is Vice
President Delcy Rodriguez addressing the march.
Was it before this or after this? Right there
get to the plate.
All masks have been removed from Donald Trump President of the
United States from his vice president the dislocated Mike
Pence from the National Security Adviser John Bolton
dislocated
yeah
I think we're missing some that maybe the translations a little
weird translation
met on hinge unglued
Well, I'm sure we have someone in the production audience who
can hear what the what was
being dislocate What does that even mean? It's like he's moved
out of the executive house that the Vice President stays in or
he's somebody that isn't
politically politically dislocated. Is there a different
definition of dislocated other than your shoulder? Or none that
I know because that's kind of where it goes from me. Well, we
can always
so dislocate disturb the normal arrangement disturb the
organization disrupt disorganized disarranged
deranged Oh, must be deranged. Yeah, instead of dislocated men
deranged, the deranged Mike Pence he hates gays Did you know
Yeah, he does V wants to do conversion therapy
on their oil.
And that of course was a probably some sarcasm there that
some somebody sent us a note bitchy so you guys do more gasm
than anybody
that voice Yeah, I think he's right.
That's what he said. Yeah, I think I think that is an example
but I just did there. I'm very good. So it's probably I
probably he's probably right. Right now
we're just sarcastic deuces.
All right, let's go for what's another country where Cameroon
update. We haven't done that. Cameroon. What is all hell's
breaking loose.
In Cameroon opposition leader Maurice COMTO was arrested as
the government cracks down on unrest after last year's
disputed presidential election. comatose lawyer said the arrest
was due to opposition protests over the weekend. Security
forces reportedly responded to the protests by firing live
bullets. Meanwhile, the Committee to Protect Journalists
is calling for the release of two journalists who were also
arrested while covering an opposition gathering in
Cameroon.
Hmm, well, there's no there's no 900 dead in the democratic or
Republic of Congo, that and that's not from Ebola. That's
just people who are pissed off about the elections that's still
there now now we don't have much news to elections
because a lot of problems you know, I'm wondering if maybe the
whole idea that demand democratization of the world is
really just to create these these murders. Well, actions are
rigged
where else Spain Be careful Madrid has seen a big protests.
Spanish
pensioners were on the streets of Madrid on Saturday to demand
better public pensions protesters say and by the
way, they're all wearing yellow vests recently. We're not all
but a lot of yellow vests showing up here.
Leases have been too small and should instead rise at the rate
of inflation. They were joined on the march by taxi drivers
who've also been on strike for nearly two weeks. My parents and
our elders are supporting us economically so we can continue
this fight to end job instability, the flight of money
from our country, and the corrupt politics we've seen over
the last 25 years. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has
offered a 6% increase, but pensioners are holding out for
more. They've allied themselves to Madrid's taxi drivers who are
on strike in a separate protest over regulation for ride hailing
apps like Uber.
And then we hear what they were doing these taxi guys know the
taxi gets to take like 1000 Cat taxi guys, and they get on the
main freeways. Yeah. And just stop abandoned 1000 cars that
are locked, locked the doors and closed the Take the keys and
walk. I gotta
tell you, I kind of understand it. It's got to be the same
anger I'm feeling with these damn Uber scooters. You know,
it's just this is the whole thing is just annoying.
Everything about it is annoying. I'm kind of starting to become a
real grouch about it.
Well, I mean, there were regulations. I mean, they, they
this is one of those.
The thing is it's an attack you know, it's because they come in
and they just do it. That's the problem is if an immigration
Wow, funny you say that because I have a comparison there in a
minute. But that's that's really what is the most irksome is they
just dropped the service in, drop it on top of a city and
say, Oh, here you go. And then you know, it's always beg for
forgiveness. And then then they leave after buddy's hooked like
a drug dealer. It's you know, it's very typical Silicon Valley
model. And so now the same thing now Austin is talking about
17,000, scooters and bikes in downtown Austin. And last night,
Tina and I, for the first time I did this with her, we were
walking up the street, and there's a scooter and you know,
an E scooter, parked diet just right across the path of the
sidewalk. You know, obstructing walking, and so I walk up to it,
and I take it to the curb and I hurl it into the street and just
kept on walking with my girl. And I felt it felt oddly
satisfying.
Good for you
know, I'm if I'm doing this, then other people are gonna get
really aggressive, pretty calm. I'm a pretty calm guy in
general. Yeah. Now the in the Netherlands, just like in
Belgium, the kids are now truant, there was a massive
truancy for because of course, they're saying hey, does it's
only just, you know, it's an hour and a half away. Hey, the
Belgian kids, they got the three weeks off of school. We're gonna
Yeah, protest climate. So they all go out there all bundled up
for testing, global warming,
freezing to death, protesting global warming, and you know,
then there's all these reports on the New Zealand dogs. So it
doesn't make any sense to play clips. But so what do you think,
you know, they ask the principle of a huge school system, that
yeah, it's actually okay for them to know to cut class if
they're going to protest what's happening with the climate? And
the interviewer said, Well, what if they were to protest
migrants? No, no, no, they would not be allowed to go on a skip
school for that just shows you what the thinking is. And this
is very socialist country. And we're in week 12x 12 of the
yellow vests in France. You'd think that's all over nothing
happening in that recording? No, no report. Well, there's this
from your own news
of the day of protest in Paris for the yellow vest
demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron. And France is
high cost of living. This week. The focus is on a police weapon
that fires rubber bullets. It's called the flash ball. And a
court ruled on Friday that it was legal, but protesters say
it's causing them serious injuries. So this protester who
injured his foot said the police measures were excessive. You're
in contact with a large number of injured people, he said, and
I can tell you that they were non violence. I myself am
against all forms of violence on either side demonstrators on
police forces, but let's be realistic. There are many more
yellow vest victims than police. Several protesters say they've
lost eyes in the demonstrations and your news was ended up I
thought it was important that I be here today to tell my story
as a victim because I think I should never have been wounded.
I'm not a hooligan. I'm not someone who throws things at the
police Saturday's protests began the 12th weekend of action.
Since this huge Asian first took to the streets in the middle of
November.
You kind of missed the visuals in this report where you see
people with, you know, eye patches because their eyes have
been gouged out by these flash balls. Yeah, getting the flash
ball to the eye is never a good thing. No. And people who wear
goggles and people have been blinded. And you know, some
people don't people have been killed by someone getting hit in
the back of the head with these flash balls. And it's just
spreading. Maastricht in the very the tippy tippy top of the
dow of the bottom of the Netherlands, same thing yellow
vests protesting. It's just it's just not being covered by the
mainstream and therefore, I guess doesn't kind of exist.
Well, it doesn't exist to us.
Well, it does exist to us. You and I it exists. Well, I
mean, this there's no agenda. We're aware of it. But it's not.
It. As you pointed out at the beginning of this show, CNN is
more concerned about the the the hat of the hat,
the hat. Yeah, the hat and Roger Stone, Roger Stone. Is this I
got this from one of our producers cut this for us. This
Brian Williams was sort of a revelation about this Roger
Stone arrest.
Barbara, I have to ask you about a point that Roger Stone made
that has been dangling out there all week. That is in your
bailiwick. He says he was never given his Miranda rights, not
merchandising, someone you are arresting? If it's correct, that
there were 26 officers on that raid show up at the front door
with a battering ram. They know they've got media in the front
yard. Failure to mirandize would be a big deal. Some people
straight up don't believe his castle, just
everyone understands. When you're arrested, and when you're
going to be interrogated, you have the right to remain silent.
And because anything, you've heard this anything, say you say
can be used against you in a court of law, you have the right
to an attorney. If it is many famous cases where this has not
been done, someone was questioned, they had their
rights had not been explained to them, which I'm still I think
there's still all kinds of weirdness about this actual
merchandising. But if you're not mirandize, then you know there
are issues if someone wants to take whatever you said, during
that time into court and use it they will be thrown
out in tension.
Actually, Miranda warnings only kick in if you're going to
interrogate a suspect. And so if they didn't mirandize him, and
they didn't ask him any questions, that wouldn't be a
problem at all, the remedy for failing to mirandize Someone is
that their statements to the officers then become
inadmissible at trial? So if there was no question in our
interrogation, there would have been no need to mirandize him.
So he may be telling the truth, without any problem at all.
Sounds to me like this was more show than we even thought.
Well, the other thing about mirandize is more than just
using what you said against you. Is that anything that that that
comes out of the arrest, where they're not mirandize, in other
words, like you do something indicated in this lockbox, you
may find some incriminating evidence
waving. So even if they found stuff in his home that they
took, and he wasn't mirandize, that's then not not properly
collect what
he had said or done. Gave them a clue to that to the evidence.
Yes. Hmm. But they had a warrant to search anyway. So they, they
would use that as well. No, we had a warrant. We're looking
around. Well, you wouldn't have looked here if it wasn't for
what this guy said. And that would get thrown out.
Okay. That's more than enough on Roger Stone, I think.
Yes, cares. I mean, the whole thing is getting more publicity
out of this than anything. Now, Alex Jones did have somebody you
don't have a clip of it. But he brought up a point that as Obama
was leaving office, they put through this like, I don't know,
$300 million. Bill, two, for the government to go after fake news
and propaganda from Russia and all this.
Yes. It was a Yeah, it's a very specific act.
Yeah. And it ended, like about two three weeks ago and the
money was never renewed the way he puts it. And he says that
money was used by the media. Trump
he says that was that that money went and the timing is
interesting. I have it. I think I put it in the last, last show
notes. Look it up. It was a subsidy that went to New Media
and his claim and the claim from others. Is that the reason why
you're seeing firing from BuzzFeed and HuffPo and all
these other
were recently vice vice Yep, laid off 250 People
vise to bring it to profitability. They're not even
profitable. We need to
be profitable if you got a 50 60 million bucks from the
government to spend.
Well, I have it here. I know it's actually in in these show
notes. So we also have Snopes is no longer fact checking for
Facebook. I think that something something structural happened.
Yeah. And I hadn't heard this from from Infowars. But I did
hear about this particular pot of money which expired. I see if
I can find about a month ago. Yeah. And so then all of a
sudden, all these all these
guys are getting laid off. And the joke of course, is all these
people are being told that learn to code,
learn to code. I was one of the most beautiful memes ever.
That's fantastic. Good.
Hey, you laid off journalists learn to code. That's what
you've been telling everybody.
Through this, I did learn what the what the number one piece of
content is on Buzzfeed and I presume on other outfits like
this. It's the quizzes. That's that's where everyone, all of
their traffic comes from the quizzes. Now,
this is a good gimmick
as well apparently it's as good as the you know, the animated
GIFs in your newsletter people love quizzes. They do so it's
stuff like you know what? was good to hear here which which
Jonas Brother Are you is one of the biggest, most successful
Why'd people love this stuff. And that's really where BuzzFeed
was making their money or still is I presume?
Yeah. Well, they laid off a lot of people. Yeah,
Vice laid off 10% of their workforce.
Yeah. They're gonna code man.
No, you cannot monetize the network. That is my mantra, and
I am sticking to it.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
and we do have a few people to think starting Mr. Marcellus
from I don't know where he is. The one stock tips he says we
don't do stock tips.
Yeah, I got a stock tick, Nokia, Nokia.
And Nokia is an old stock stock. You can't legally give stop
stock tips. Because what happens you give one and this guy loses
money they could sue you. So don't even think about giving
stock tips. Hey,
wasn't was just I'm sorry. Your sister Marcellus
$165.16. Now there's a whole rigmarole involved in giving
stock tips.
Okay, well, it's not as I'm not giving a stock tip it was it was

no. You can lose tenure, you know? No, it's not like,

excellent. I actually listen to Ben show off and a lot of people
do and we also said that He's not wrong. I couldn't figure out
why sometimes. I miss out weeks. You nailed it on show 1108. I
had the same issue with other podcasts by the way, but not
with no agenda. What a great show the two of you make one of
the last shows of 2018 John said, all we do is talk about
the news just a bit more in depth. You are selling yourself
short there, John. Although it might feel easy for you after
all those years you're both very skilled in what you do. I can't
even remember what my view of the M five M was in 2017 but I
seem to be disagreeing a lot more with a lot of people these
days. Apart from all the deconstruction you do the show
brings me lots of laughter sometimes attracting strange
looks from people around me now. That's how it starts. From my

Hold on hold on a second on this Greg Miller. Let me read this.
I'm request this horrible. Oh, I requested D douching. It's been
a while since I've donated probably under my old email
address. I used to listen with my son, a metal drummer who was
shot and killed delivering Chinese food and 2015 is a
horrible, that's terrible. And I also like some F cancer karma
from my friend and coworker Laura. And he's in the troll
room probably right now. I'm gonna give that I am on. I'm
fighting cancer.
You've got karma. Finding it
is the kind of thing that will drive people nuts, which is, I
believe part of random number theory. This is why if you get
on a roll at a craps table, you should probably you know to put
some aside but start just doubling up and doubling up
because you might have a long run. And that is bad things
happen to your good things. But bad things will happen to you in
groups of three. This is why this superstition about the
three celebrities always dies three of them. And it's a it's a
you know, it could be four could be 10. But it's always a
grouping and it really takes a lot of people out of the game
because they have a bad thing happened to him the Son death is
terrible. And now he's got it in that then his his co workers got
this issue in a saddening and so that you know, I would expect to
try another tried changing something in your pattern of
behavior,
but I don't think you can stop the well.
Here's what I think I don't believe that's true. It's like
for example, you're at the craps table and you'd think it was a
roll going on and we're just gonna run it just get away from
the craps table that will stop it. Here's what I do when I get
a speeding ticket and I only get them once in a while by change
all of my driving behaviors for at least a month because I
noticed is when I was younger you'd get a ticket then you get
a ticket the next week. And you get you get Bang Bang Bang get
three tickets all of a sudden how many
tickets if you do I've never I don't think I've gotten a ticket
in 30 years.
You don't go fast enough
I don't I don't have that swanky Lexus 30 year old Lexus to shoot

Yeah, they can't track it. That's that is the absolutely
Are you sure the car? It's not trackable? All right, onward.

nets, sir under uncle cave bear or bunker cave Barry's work
dedicated to working on Super Bowl
and heat and he did the art for the last show. We appreciate
that. Yeah, he's
on a roll.
Don't you think he's thanking us? We're working on Super Bowl.
Oh, yeah. It's so hard for me to work during a major sporting
event.
It is hard for me I'd rather listen believe me. I want to be
in the other room. Kind of sweating into becoming one with
the couch listening to nonstop boring analysis. Oh isn't gonna
do this. Oh, we think they're gonna do that. Oh, if you're
gonna do this, let's match up the quarterbacks. I think he's
better than that guy. I think he's better than that guy. No, I
think he's better than that guy. Opening clear, easy to work
through.
Okay, I got a time code good.
I hate Superbowl analysis. Got a two game analysis is dumb.
You've got so many great clips to open the show with it's just
fantastic. You just do a show with them.
Paul Eaton 50 These are all $50 donors Robert dry cussin Roy
Pingel Jeremy Cartwright and Rockford Illinois, and drew oxen
ham in Santa Ana, California. We got to do another Bailey meet
up. Bradley leaden 50 from Parts Unknown Sir Brian Watson in
Raleigh, North Carolina regular sir Brett Farrell, a regular in
Oklahoma City. And last but not least, another regular Jason
deluzy. Oh, and Schatzberg Pennsylvania. Want to thank all
these folks are supporting us making the show possible and
contributing to the production of show 1109.
Yes, thank you very much. Also everyone who came in under $50
for anonymity or you're on one of our subscription programs.
Also wanted to mention that Nicholas Oman wanted jobs karma
for his wife. We'll throw that in. Good news from Greg Miller.
Our good news. He was in the chat room. He said the the
gangbanger from Jersey who killed his son has been rotting
in jail. So that's some solace. Just to complete that story.
Well, I want to also thank Andrew Jones, the Baron of
America's mountain. Yes, he sent me a huge bag of sorghum flour.
From the good slaves of Colorado Springs. He says once John
discovers the best method of preparation, can we get a
pairing of mac and cheese with a side of sorghum? Oh, my
goodness. Slaves roundtable that sounds good. For the roundtable.
I think it's you know, it's looking into it. It looks like
you can just make it a straight one to one substitution with
wheat and a lot
of now can you make sorghum sourdough? With the sourdough
with a sorghum flour?
I don't see why not.
I'm curious how that would,
how it would attack the sorghum. Sorghum doesn't seem to have a
lot of gluten, if any. And I'm not sure that Donald of the
sourdough is going after the gluten. I don't know what to do
with.
I don't know this product. This product store sorghum should be
available at Costco. They should they should carry this.
I would think so. I mean, it's the same with the number three
grain in the world.
Except that no one knows about it here. We won't even need
horse.
And a horse is very edible. It's very good.
Very tasty. I agree. So thank you all very much. Nice showing
today. It's highly appreciated. This is our value for value
system. And we have many ways for you to contribute. We are
artists, we have people who make clips, we got a ton of great
mixes for today's show. I'll just give you the credits right
now. We've got Well, Sir Chris Wilson from Australia, Tom
Starkweather. And his partner Alex, we got Gary and you ukP MX

will be an audio mix, not a sort of mix. So that is coming up.

anything you have when you receive it which should be the
ring the signet ring the sealing wax or certificate and happy to
happy to retweet how cool we are and such that's all I need to
say right and such. Before we didn't do this on the last show,
I just wanted to do a quick because of this. I guess now
it's it's the whole Roe v. Wade, Virginia, New York abortion
bills have been such a contentious just a contentious
topic. Everyone has an opinion but no one just reads the damn
law to just say what is in is not legal. And the reason I
figured we do this is Kathy Tran from Virginia Democrat from
Virginia who wrote the bill. She's kind of double down with
just kind of fuzzy language and I want to play that.
Hi, I'm Kathy Tran and I represent the 42nd district in
the Virginia House of Delegates. I know women in my family, women
in my district, and women across Virginia, who've had to make the
very personal decision as to whether or not they're going to
have an abortion. That's why I introduced a bill to repeal the
medically unnecessary and unduly burdensome barriers that
Virginian women face when they're accessing this health
care service. In consultation with their doctor, I presented
my bill this week. And I was really surprised by the line of
questioning that I got this bill had been introduced in the
General Assembly in previous years. And, in fact, this
session was also introduced in our State Senate, I want to be
very clear about what's currently allowed in Virginia
law. Right now, women are able to access an abortion in the
later stages of pregnancy, under certain conditions with the
approval of medical doctors, I've done nothing to change
that. What I have done is tried to make sure that women are able
to make these decisions and access these services in a
timely manner. Since the bill hearing, I've heard from many
women in my district, and across Virginia, who support my efforts
to make sure that politicians don't get between a woman and
her health care decisions. I appreciate their support. And I
will continue to stand with the women in Virginia. Thank you.
So this is fine. So this was the this third trimester as far as I
know, was not law. It has been proposed before and she made a
few small changes. I think it's just helpful if we just read
what is actually in the proposed bill. And then you'll have that
information. So you'll know because it's not that hard. It's
yeah, I'm an I'm an ad legislation analyst, but this is
just English, it is not difficult. So this is
specifically about 18 to dash 74 When abortion or termination of
pregnancy is lawful after the second trimester of pregnancy.
So that is after 22 between 24 and 20, then 40 weeks, which
means anytime in that period. It shall be lawful for any
physician licensed by the Board of Medicine to practice medicine
and surgery to terminate or attempt to terminate a human
pregnancy or aid in or aid or assist in the termination of
human pregnancy by performing an abortion or causing a
miscarriage on any woman in a stage of pregnancy subsequent to
the second trimester, provided that the following conditions
are met. So that's pretty simple. If you're certified
doctor, you can do this. If number one said operation is
performed in a hospital licensed by the Virginia State Department
of Health are operated by the Department of Behavioral Health
and Development of developmental sciences. I believe this would
be the actual problem in this bill because this is not
necessary in up in the up until the third trimester, it can be
done in the clinic, and hospitals do not want abortions
in their facilities. That's the biggest problem with access to
this particular service. hospitals don't want the bad PR.
That's why you've got shitty ask clinics, but that's just an
aside to the physician certifies. So, this is second,
you have the this has to be adhere to in order for this to
be legal. The physician certifies and enters in the
hospital record of the woman that in the physician's medical
opinion, based upon the physician's best clinical
judgment, the continuation of the pregnancy is likely to
result in the death of the woman impair the mental or physical
health of the woman. So I think that the impair the mental
health of the woman is an issue for a lot of people because
that's open to wide interpretation. Third, measures
for life support kind of for the product of such abortion or
miscarriage shall be available, which does not mean it has to be
available but legally shall means it's could be available
and utilize if there's any clearly visible evidence of
viability. And then finally, before performing any abortion
or inducing any miscarriage or terminating a pregnancy is
provided and for mentioned, the physician shall obtain the
informed written consent with the pregnant woman. However, if
the woman has been adjudicated incapacitated by any court or
competent jurisdiction, or what the physician knows or has good
reason to believe such a woman is incapacitated, as adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction. Then only after
permission is given in writing by a parent guardian committee
or other persons standing and local parents the woman made the
physician performed the abortion. So yes, to say that no
one will do this when the when the woman is dilating me maybe
true, but technically is possible. And the technical
issue that I see is, if the physician believes the mother's
mental health may be affected by the birth, then this is legal,
literally up until the child is born. So that is the factual
information. Anything else you hear is just posturing and
bullcrap. I have two things to say. Personally, one. You know,
Tina and I met through the Ronald McDonald House. That's
where we met. And I've been as supportive on mcdonald house for
long time. Their family rooms because they have the house and
then they have family rooms, the number one use of the family
rooms, which are in hospitals, where people who typically have
children in this, could you be a little quieter with whatever
you're doing. Yeah, sorry. Are you you're paging through the
law. Okay, I got it. Looking at your logbooks. The number one
use of the wrong mcdonald house family rooms is for premature
babies born at 24 weeks who survived. So I just want to say
for me personally, it's like, wow, 24 weeks, you know, that's
a long time to make a decision about an abortion. And I've seen
lots lots of children survive this. What are you doing? It's
so loud. I it shouldn't be. It's really loud.
I'm looking for some paper.
Second thing I'd like to say. I hope I hope you're with me.
I'm listening.
I personally feel that as a parent, you should be able to
kill your child up until they're 13 or 14 because they can
assholes.
Ah, sarcasm.
Yeah, there's my sarcasm is right. Yeah. Dammit.
So that's all I got. That's the law and anything else? Anyone
says any posturing? You know, the physician who's who was, you
know, I'm sorry, the governor, who is now now he has a whole
bunch of other problems. These governors in trouble. He was a
little disingenuous. He was only talking about physical
deformities. But yeah, that's the law. That's all there is to
it. It's in the show notes. You can print it out. You can take
long you haven't he has someone has an argument. You say here's
what the law says. That's all you got to do. Everything you
hear. It's just a bunch of dickheads. Typically men, by the
way, who will know it better, including the governor?
Well, that doesn't preclude the the woman herself when she gave
testimony and pretty much to the baby can be half born and they
have to kill it.
That's but that's true.
Yeah, that's true. That's my point. Bill.
That's my point. It's it's legal. Yes. Yeah. So yeah, it
doesn't preclude anything. The what I hate about this, what I
really despise, is that this is all about politics has nothing
to do if you think that your Democrat liberal politicians are
out there trying to protect your rights. Or if you think that
some aihole Republican politicians are trying to
protect baby's rights, it has nothing to do with it. It's
about votes. And here's Governor Cuomo of New York and just
abusing this and abusing women,
for votes. Cavanaugh is going to reverse Roe v. Wade. I have no
doubt that she's going to reverse Roe v. Wade, I have no
doubt. So what do we do? protect ourselves pass a state law that
is a prophylactic from the federal action means past row,
reproductive health contraceptive care act.
It's all that it's about. It's just about winning votes
discussing
that. But I think what he's really doing there, which is
kind of ironic, is he's pushing states rights. That's exactly
right. It's very ironic, because the Democrats have never been
for states rights. They think everything should be in the
hands of the federal government. But that's right. So it's a
reversal. That's the old
Democratic Party has nothing to do with this.
Well, I still think we should play the 58 second clip, but
which one is Virginia bill on abortion where they have the
woman who wrote the bill that you just read word for word,
being grilled by one of these state senators in Virginia?
So how late in the third trimester would you be able to
do to do
that? You know, it's very unfortunate that our the our
physicians or witnesses were not able to attend today to speak
specifically, I'm
talking about your bill, how late how late in the third
trimester could a physician perform an abortion if he
indicated it would impair the mental health of the of the
woman or physical health? Okay, okay. So I'm talking about the
mental health. So I mean,
through the third trimester, third trimester goes all the way
up to 40 weeks. Okay, but to the end of the third trimester Yep,
I
don't think we have a limit in the bill. So
where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth, she has
physical signs that she is about to give birth. Would that still
be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was
so certified? She's dilating
that, Mr. Chairman, that would be a you know, a decision that
the doctor the physician and the woman
understand that I'm asking you if your bill allows that my bill
would allow that Yes. Yeah,
exactly. I'm all for it. I just like it televised. I want to
televise I want our executions televised I want all of this
killing people should be televised. Let's be honest, as
not sarcasm. I've said this for years. televise it, let's see if
we all like it. I like I like capital. I
want you guys killing the baby. Yes,
I want televised executions. I want to do everything should be
televised. Why not? Reality TV is the hottest format.
Well, I would put the kibosh, which is a word I only use
rarely reserved, live reserved. Like a rare Konya, Smosh,
or chi Bosch, as some people would like to pronounce it put
the kibosh on any of these activities because it's
gruesome. Well, I mean, I'm an electrocution. I don't know
maybe you'll get me they used to go to the town halls and watch
the the hangings and the people getting shot and all the other
executions at least we're led to believe that when they were
chopping off heads, during the French Revolution, we understand
from reports that the huge crowds would gather and then the
knife would come down and chop off somebody's head and the head
would go rolling into a bucket and everyone would share. I
don't know I don't know that it would put a stop to it.
No, it wouldn't it would be I also feel that we should have
live telecasts of how your beef is made how your chicken is
called. All of this is you know don't not just one little
documentary a live channel here on your on your Alexa, what's
that screen thing they've got now? Or the Google Home screen?
All of that the Google hold the Google Assistant he shouldn't
you should be able to show me where my it should be on the
carton QR
code. That particular cow was killed. Yes. See
that? Yeah. berm see the electrode going and let's be
honest, let's be honest. And
let's I mean, guys butcher him up and then they hold up the
steak that you just bought and say look, there's a steak you
just bought
even the fish you're eating just so how they had the hooks in
there and they rip the hook out chop his head off got him while
he's living? Guess why not? If we got to be honest,
let's say you want to kill kids until they're 13 So that's as
a parent I think you should be able to kill your own kid just
Yeah. I think that I think kids are some is this one's no good.
So here we go. Let's play let's get to it. I just want to get
one clip but how are we how are we for time?
last clip
All right. Got a clip here on a I think this is underreported
story about the fake school that was used to lure a bunch of
douchebags into signing up but they were all illegal
immigrants. So I don't know anything reported by the
mainstream media. What's at all? Oh, I don't know anything about
this? Yeah, of course not. Because W's reporting on the
fake school under reported details have
emerged about how the Department of Homeland Security set up a
fake College in Michigan as part of an elaborate sting operation
to crack down on immigration violations. The website of the
University of Farmington claimed to be a nationally accredited
business and stem institution. But in fact, the school did not
exist. Earlier this week, eight student recruiters were indicted
for conspiring to help foreign citizens enroll in the fake
school and attempt to for them to remain in the country
illegally. In addition, immigration agents have arrested
about 130 people who attempted to enroll in the school.
Wait a minute, you mean they pulled like a a honeypot like
the FBI does with idiot people who that they turn into
terrorists and these people want to actually learn they wanted to
go to school and that was the honeypot. Yeah, now that's not
cool, man. That's not okay. No, that's not cool.
Well, there was must have been some other elements. I mean,
they're not gonna go into any details on this on Democracy
Now, of course, because they never do. But it must have been
something about it. That was the law or what some
people want to learn people want to learn and then oh, yeah,
you're nailed. No, no, I find
some indicators that I don't know. I want if I have to look
into it, no. Thanks to you.
You're welcome. Work. All right, everybody. That's it. Now you
may now return to your regularly scheduled Sport or Sport

Breaking news, a sitting Democratic governor admitting
tonight he is in the photo you're about to see. But I
believe them. And now that I'm not either of the people. In
that photo
I've added if you want to go through my yearbook Yeah, I'm
actually interested in
it is definitely not me. I can tell by looking at it. I have
had friends also look at it and tell me it's not me.
Beach week Ralph's club biggest contributor, which is the word
Ralph mean. And that probably refers to throwing up unknown to
have a weak stomach. And
this was a horrific photo that was on my page with my name.
Ralph Northam above so the
vomiting that you reference in the Roth club reference related
to the consumption of alcohol
on my page 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School
to have added if you want to go through my yearbook
yeah I'm I'm actually
interested you know, for now, Governor Northam will be kept
comfortable, you can be certain of that will be resuscitated. If
that's what his party desire
is it's definitely not me either you stand
with the forces of freedom, or you're in league with Maduro and
his mail
when Maduro comes out to play we'll say the CIA Nikki Guido
now through the door, swear him and we let our global sanctions
make a firm decrease, Gary you don't want to know this up with
San Marcos and you can see that we know every longer Venezuela
is our flesh
This is so evil.
It's great. Evil it's just evil. What's the evil part?
Oh just how the world works. And it's nothing new to us. But
if people really understood the mistake of a random college kid,
he said hey, you know this is actually how it still kind of
works
where you from? BBC is another beauty. have a feeling it's
going to be beautiful. I hope that we're able to get everybody
in a very big and beautiful room and your new treaty that would
be much better. And we're going to have that big beautiful door
in the wall. He wrote me beautiful letters. To me that
lions den anymore. dutiful. And one of the things that you will
discuss is the purchase of lots A beautiful military equipment
because nobody makes it like the United States. And at the very
center of that plan is a giant, beautiful, massive, the biggest
ever in our country tax cut. It really could be a beautiful
bipartisan type of situation. We had the most beautiful piece of
chocolate cake that you've ever seen. And I noticed all that
beautiful barbed wire going up today. Barbed wire, used
properly can be a beautiful sight.
