She's alive. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
Thursday, February 7 2019. This is your award winning get my
nation media assassination episode 1110. This is no agenda,
testing the fire alarms and broadcasting live from the
capital of the drone Star state here in downtown Austin Tejas in
the Claudio, in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry and
from
Northern Silicon Valley where I'm now self identifying as an
American Indian. I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
Now you can see the point is you're supposed to do that on
your entrance to things not not when you're exiting everything.
Oh, it's no benefits. Number one that. That is truly one of the
most beautiful stories of of the week. Elizabeth Warren
I'm a digging up an old form that an American Indian as race
what a hit job was, yeah. Roger Stone.
Now it's now stones out of commission. There's people
who've learned from him though. Yeah, must be if you don't know.
We're talking about Elizabeth Warren who we actually called
Pocahontas years before Donald Trump. So we had to stop doing
it. Just tries to look kind of sad. Yeah.
derivative. Yeah.
And we so on top of the DNA tests on top of everything, I
actually have a I have an apology. Do you have anything
you want to play from
a couple of clips but but you know, one of the things I was
thinking about before I play these clips is that she was born
and raised in Oklahoma where there's a lot of people believe
that they're Cherokee or some other you know, Oklahoma tribe
is their ancestry. Sure. So I decided to look her up look up
look her up for her because this is possible that somebody's told
her this and I believe that's because she that's her story
Indian look, you know that he
this is exactly what's in my clip. So I'll play this as a as
you can hear her apology, which is exactly this,
but before you do, let me just continue. Okay. So I went and
looked up all our old high school pictures
to see what she looked like in high school to see if she looked
anything like an American and he may be you know, just a little
bit of somewhat, you know, the cheekbones or anything. No, not
even close. She's actually gorgeous as a high school girl.
Very attractive. And then she started taking she very slowly
evolved into that certain kind of look that liberal women
somehow get this kind of a kind of a weird smile to
it. Did she always have that she always have the short hair? No,
no, she
had a variety of sex. I
think that's what it is. It's the really it's the shorthair
the Bob. That's that's kind of the trademark.
Well, you mean once you turn liberal, well the liberal
looking picture of her is it's not just liberal
giant
photo which is the one where she's looks the most like the
snotty liberal that you run into these girls are know it alls.
And you know she got all of a sudden is developed kind of a
doorway to people out there have maybe more sports or inclined
she has that that John Elway smile which is like this forest
kind of oval smile which is very classic and she knew he came
from Stanford. And yeah, she's got a kind of a Bob and his hair
was long earlier and then she got this look about her well but
it's but none of it looks Indian.
But what you just said gives me an eye out for her. She can be
on the Wheaties box she looks like a sports star.
You look at her pictures. No I'm not I know she's got to smile of
a guy who's not anything like sports not are not looking for
pictures. The whole night Mike comes probably include her
because she I do have the same I think is within these two clips.
I have a play yours. We'll see where we go.
Okay. This is from Fox News where they broke away to get
some get specific questions about this latest controversy,
where she hand wrote her her race as American Indian on her
Texas bar exam applicant bar application prompter by the way
this is I think it's Shep Shep Smith and this was stuck who
sent me this clip. You can hear at the beginning. This is
something you don't hear often but this is very typical of
television where they're coming out of the break. And the
teleprompter has not yet put up the text. So I think this is
Shep Smith is going to prompt her prompter prompter. Elizabeth
Warren if you hear that.
Yeah, I love
those moments. Freaking out I don't know what to say prompt
arc prompt her. Elizabeth Warren is speaking about her history of
claiming Cherokee Indian heritage On applications and
otherwise, the most recent application for the Texas bar,
wherein she herself wrote exactly that, as witnessed here.
Warren started speaking during the commercial break, so we DVR
it for you. And we'll play it from where we began recording.
Why did you list yourself as an American Indian on this Texas
bar application? Because the President has made the case that
you've used this part of your background to get ahead? And are
you saying that this is something you fundamentally
believed about yourself? Or how do you respond to that
criticism, but this was a knowing attempt to get ahead by
using that claim of ancestry.
That is a claim that has been fully investigated. And it has
now been shown completely, that nothing about my background ever
had anything to do with any job I got in any place. It's been
fully documented. And there's no evidence of any kind other
thing? Is that nothing to do. Are there any more documents or
any more? Are there any more documents or any more forms like
this out there that you have listed yourself as it could come
down? Like I grew up believing with my brothers, this is our
family story.
Yes, it's the story. But I think she's lying when she says that
it's been documented and investigated that she never had.
Nobody cares. Nobody's documented, investigated
anything. They're just using the writer.
You're right. What am I even thinking?
But let's listen to the big boys talking about this. And I have
to to CBS in this case. The negotiators differ by the way,
CBS version and it's about how she's actually rewritten. I just
is very worth very much worth whatever. I don't know what kind
of phrase I'm trying to come up with. They're
wasting our time on using valuable airtime. It's worth and
I take your word for it.
The senator from Massachusetts apologized today. After a
decade's old documents surfaced that shows Warren declared
herself to be an American Indian. Nancy Cortez has more on
this.
I'm not a tribal citizen. And I should have been more. More
mindful of the distinction.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren apologized today for
listing American Indian as her race after being accepted to the
Texas Bar Association in 1986.
This is who I grew up believing with my brothers. This is our
family story. But family stories are not the same as tribal
citizenship. And this is why I have apologized.
Warren launched a presidential exploratory committee in
December. I'm in this fight all the way. But she has been dogged
by her decision decades ago to list herself as Native American
at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard
University, and drew fire from Cherokee tribal leaders last
year when she tried to put the issue behind her with a highly
publicized DNA test. What are the facts say, suggest that
you absolutely have a Native American ancestor in your
pedigree?
Hold on a second. We follow this very closely. This is this is a
rewrite. She's rewriting history. The fact was when she
had her DNA tests, it turned out that there were no real native
american genomes, anything that they can compare her to, and
they had to use South American markers. And so she the best she
could do is have as a couple of ticks off the box from some
South American tribe or the Incas or who knows what they're
talking about, or, I don't know. But now she's making it sound as
though Well, wait a minute. Yeah, you have. So you
definitely. Who were this recording come from? We never
heard this before. Some bogus recording of a guy tell we
did Yes. No, no, no, no, no, yes, we most definitely did.
This was like the it was either her husband's brother, who has
some some family relation. And he worked at the DNA company.
And he he's, I don't think he's even qualified to analyze it.
And he's the one that got on the phone and that hokey video they
did. And here's the here's that bit again,
and drew fire from Cherokee tribal leaders last year when
she tried to put the issue behind her with a highly
publicized DNA test.
What are the facts say?
Facts suggest that you absolutely have a Native
American ancestor in your pedigree
I love the facts suggest that's the best part. The facts
suggest that you definitely that's actually the word is
fantastic. The facts suggest that you're definitely
definitely not how does definitely Lilian suggests work
together, check false. Well anyway, so she got herself in a
heap of trouble here. And then now she's rewriting it to make
it sound as if, if it wasn't for those damn Cherokee tribal
leaders.
Yes. Who don't recognize her?
Who don't recognize her? She'd be good to go. Yes. When his
bullcrap. But anyway, so let's do this. So she's in a, this is
a problem for her, but she might be able to, then maybe, you
know, blow over and she can still maybe take a shot at
things, but I don't think so. But let's play part two where
they kind of just put some icing on this cake
that you absolutely have an American ancestor in your
pedigree.
The chair of the Republican National Committee filed a
grievance with the Texas bar today saying attorney Warren
should be disciplined for lying. She has no Indian blood. But
many Democrats argue the real controversy is the President's
ongoing racial insensitivity. When talking about Warren
Pocahontas, I
apologize to you. I apologize to you I apologize. To the fake
Pocahontas. I won't.
Warren insisted today that she wasn't seeking special treatment
when she listed herself as Native American, and that she
was never hired because of it. But it could complicate her next
job application. Because Jeff, she is set to formally launch
her bid for the presidency in just four days.
And she's really going to go through with the announcement
and really seems like she's gonna try just ignore this.
Well, she made a huge mistake when she didn't run against
Hillary, or take the take the I mean, she would have won. I
mean, everybody thinks, oh, you should win that during that era.
I've paid careful attention to people like me, me a lifelong
Republican who was she was all in to vote for Elizabeth
Warren has made me think of Liz now.
She thinks she's a big phony. Okay.
So dodged the bullet.
Excellent, Amy. Yeah. Well, she wouldn't have gotten anything
done because she's a big talker. No big talk. No action woman.
Well,
but we're in this situation. Now. By the way, I
want to mention that CBS managed to turn it on Trump somehow Of
course.
What else is new? But we're in this interesting situation. And
I'm referring specifically to Virginia, where we it's got it's
become so easy to discredit almost anybody based upon what
they've done in the past. And you know, thanks, internet.
Thanks, storage. You know, thanks to scanners. Thanks.
Thanks to technology, thanks to technology really.
The only person who can elect for elective office is yet to be
the biggest dud ever. Well, what's
you take a look. So we have this, the governor who appeared
in blackface, but then he said, No, that wasn't me. I didn't do
blackface once. In a Michael Jackson a dance contest, which I
have to say, coming from the Netherlands. I remember, in the
late 70s, early 80s, when Michael Jackson just just when
he still had the afro, there were tons of dance competitions
at schools, and there was always some kid who would be you know,
in black faced with the with the big fro wig, and would dance
their ass off and we'd be like, Oh, my God, it's just like
Michael Jackson. And, you know, now, of course, I have, you
know, all kinds of privilege. But at the time, it didn't seem
like anyone, you know, just seemed like there was less
inflammatory. I don't know. Of course. We had black kids. There
was the Netherlands. You know, we had black kids. We and we
still we're still have the Black Pete. You know, there's some you
got to put some context into it. Black face to Al Jolson.
blackface minstrel show is very different than emulating Michael
Jackson or any black person for that reason, which is why Jimmy
Kimmel and Fallon are very quiet right now. You haven't heard
them made a lot of jokes about Ralph Northam in Virginia,
because there's tons of video of them doing skits in blackface.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Well, I do have the rundown on
this situation, the latest which included the third guy.
Just it doesn't know. Are these jobs too? Or is this just, I
mean, where's this coming from?
I don't know. But the punch line. This has got a punch line
too. It's a little longer for a clip but it's I believe it's
from CBS and it has all the up to date information I had. Every
time I was clipping this all during the week. It's like it's
old guy that got a new guy or another third guy reclip it was
too hilarious Virginia mess.
First it was the governor. Then the Lieutenant Governor now the
state attorney general the top three leaders in the state all
Democrats all facing deep controversy. The latest is
Attorney General Mark Herring who admitted today that he wants
wore blackface at a college party at Oak Keith has more on
the chaos in the Commonwealth
of Virginia Democratic lawmakers were in no mood to discuss the
latest scandal to rock Richmond Attorney General Mark Herring
admitting that he also wants dressed in blackface. 70 has an
undergraduate in 1980. He said in a statement, he and friends
went to a party as rappers we dressed up and put on wigs and
brown makeup. He added I have a glaring example from my past
that I have thought about with deep regret. In the many years
since. When word reached the statehouse, there were audible
gasps and expletives from staffers. Some lawmakers hung
their heads in disbelief. And this from the head of the
Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, Lamont Bagby, like I
said, when the scandal rocketed all the way up to Washington.
Shot incredibly disappointed.
This has been an awful week for Virginia.
Today's bombshell comes just days after haring called for
Governor Ralph Northam to resign over a racist photo, including a
man in blackface that was discovered on his medical school
yearbook page and not either of the people. In that photo. After
that news conference, herring had said it is no longer
possible for the governor to leave Virginia north and remains
out of sight as he contemplates his political future. He's
meeting with black leaders and may hire a private investigator
to prove it's not him in the photo. Then there's Lieutenant
Governor Justin Fairfax
on Now where's Al Sharpton? Where's where's Reverend now?
He'll be he'll be around.
I mean, what all this guy has to do is pay off Rev. Al and then
Reverend Allah will bless him. And you know, hug and it'll be a
big press conference and we'll be good to go. But I don't think
why Reverend Al's not here suddenly. Or maybe
he knows maybe these guys don't know how to the How it works is
in may hire a private investigator to prove it's not
him in the photo. Then there's Lieutenant Governor Justin
Fairfax, who's facing an allegation of sexual assault
during the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Today, his
accuser Vanessa Tyson put out a lengthy statement, saying she's
a Democrat and is sharing her story with tremendous anguish.
She says she had gotten to Fairfax his hotel room to
retrieve documents, and then after consensual kissing, Mr.
Fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him. Fairfax has
repeatedly denied the allegation and responded today saying
reading Dr. Tyson's account is painful. I have never done
anything like what she suggests. As all three men consider their
next steps. Virginia's line of succession states that if
Northam steps down, Fairfax will take over then herring and next
in line Republican Kirk Cox Speaker of the House has a one
seat majority twist worthy of the movies the race for that one
seat ended in a tie David Yancey and was decided when the name of
the Republican winner was pulled out of a ceramic bowl
what what is sort of ceramic bowl haft is it was it a white
bowl
it was a cigarette it was a bowl with it they ended up with a tie
at the end of the legislative session for who's going to a
democrat or republican whoever wins and it was a it was a tie a
perfect tie they would pick the name out of a bowl and it was
the Republican to the Republicans a guy by one vote
who gets to be the next governor if you're if all these guys fall
apart. This is possible that
this was a porcelain bowl
ceramic Oh I thought toilet ceramic bowl ceramic ceramic
bowls because that that that has the implications of a toilet
yeah that's what I'm saying. Well done good reporting.
Yes, yes
so this so Okay, so now
this does ceramic bowls system
this does give a different slant if we now after these three guys
are annihilated now a Republican could wind up Governor This is a
move
Yeah, it's fantastic right move.
Oh man. Yeah, this this this morning some someone on Twitter
which is I think something a phrase I use a lot someone on
Twitter would just forgotten tweeted out a clip of the view
from 2016 Joy Bay hard defending this 2016 Now defending her
costume where she dressed up as an African American,
The New York Times they had an op ed piece in praise of
naturally curly hair. They say that it's making a comeback.
I've always had curly statement showing the picture I was so I
was we are you That is my word. What here's a circle watch 29
It was a Halloween party. It went as a beautiful African
woman.
Oh yes you ain't black but that's my hair. You can beat me
up but is the whole point that was that is made you have
tanning lotion on makeup that was a little bit darker than my
that's my actual hand. I love it though.
You hear the obsession with well, it was just makeup a
little darker wasn't really black face and my hair's really
curly. I didn't I didn't do anything wrong.
Wow, that's a great clip. It's kind of was was I liked to have
seen that clip because you'd have to know if Whoopi
was on the No no she was not sadly you know broke up
with Ted Danson for showing up in blackface once and when they
were
Oh, I forgot about that your
cheese. So what B would have gone off on her
Oh man. But you know it the end is not near because now the New
York Times even wrote a reasonable op ed but an article
how Mary Poppins is racist. But yes, Mary Poppins is racist.
Because nanny mix was it Nanny McPhee I don't know the story.
Oh, it's a beautiful story and it's coming back.
I know that.
When they go down the chimney, their face gets covered in
sweat. But instead of wiping it off, she gamely. I'm reading
from the article. She gamely powders her nose and cheeks even
blacker. Then she leads the children on a dancing
exploration of London rooftops with Dick Van Dyke city chimney
sweep, Bert. So and this is quite
sealed the deal show they're talking about? Yeah, well, yes.
A new one. Does he come down and Blackfish in the new movie?
I don't know. I haven't. I haven't seen it. I used it even
out I don't know. I haven't seen the new movie. But I'll bet it
did. She doesn't
but even
but come on. For forget if it's forget if it's a
well, I'm gonna I'm just gonna take to say that if you're gonna
call everybody out for doing this. Oh, of course, where there
is new now. 50 years ago, 100 years ago, whenever including
blacks who did it? Most of the minstrel shows the blacks had to
put on blackface. Just because it be darker was really revealed
in a recent Broadway play with which documented all this this
era. It's like you gotta you they're all in or you're all
out. That's why I think the Black Pete thing is going to be
done for
me see, I'm looking at this article. The Black Pete thing is
never going to be done for the Dutch won't allow it.
You put up with a lot. It's going to turn out that Black
Pete is contributing to global warming. Well, he's out there is
that for sure. Global warming? Yeah. So sad where it was at
this point in history. We've come to this.
Yeah, but it's quite funny for our show is dynamite. Yeah. I
mean, show it's great to be laughing. Yes, exactly.
I would like to stay with the candidates for 2020 For a
moment, and I'll start that with a jingle but my chances are slim
up again.
That's Don Sweeney. Right here in Austin. Some more jingle than
her political career will be. I'm afraid. It's kind of kind of
over for who for Tulsi Gabbard. Oh, yeah, poor Tulsi. So now the
MDC came out. I think we may have discussed this on Sunday,
and had a report from new knowledge, the Austin based
company that wrote the bull crap report for the Intelligence
Committee, which no one references that anymore. No one
says hey, by the way, these eight holes who then
subsequently got D platformed. From Facebook because they were
using the same Russian tactics they reported on to the the
congressional the Senate committee. They use the same
tactics in the special election in Alabama. They got D
platformed. for it. But yet these guys somehow are now
credible to say we see websites in bots tweeting about Tulsi
Gabbard looks like the Russians are on her side. We she's got to
be She can't take her seriously. She's Putin's puppet. For tofu,
Putin his puppet.
Yeah, Putin.
And then and if the hit job couldn't get any better, David
Duke just endorsed her. I mean, come on.
Oh, yeah, this is fantastic to be working for the other side.
Of course he is. Can you imagine you okay day here so we want you
to endorse just the kiss of death endorsement company. Yeah.
That's
a kiss of death endorsement companies that an acronym we can
use? Let's see. Yeah. That endorsement. codec. I like it.
Codec codec, the kiss of death endorsement company. Well,
luckily, we have a Democrat liberal Glenn Greenwald to push
back on this. And here he is. And he actually he he did
something that I've never really heard him say, are this
accurate? I don't think I've ever heard him make this this
kind of accusation when it comes to a political fractious, so
they claimed in a screaming headline that predictably went
viral that she was the Kremlin's favorite candidate, one of the
reporters who wrote the story tweeted that they the Kremlin
has a crush on Tulsi Gabbard, something that if it were about
a democratic favorite, would you be denounced not just as
adolescent, but also sexist? Yes. And of course, this is all
part of the broader context where the Democratic Party has
this maniacal obsession with Russia. If you try and debate
anything with them about the war in Syria, or the ongoing
viability of NATO, or troops in Afghanistan, they just started
babbling about the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin and accusing you
of being a Russian agent. And it's like some kind of like
neural malfunction or, or a mania at this point. And what's
amazing is doing this to Tulsi Gabbard, she was a democratic
star just four years ago, when she was first elected, MSNBC
said the first Asian woman elected to the Democrat to the
to the Senate a to their house in US history. She's an Iraq war
veteran on the fast track to fame. They made her a vice
chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and now
suddenly, they're smearing her as an asset of the Kremlin using
extremely dubious journalistic tactics for which NBC has become
notorious on behalf of both the CIA and the DNC.
I've never heard Glenn green Glenn Glenn Greenwald, accused
that and Lincoln to the CIA. That's kind of a first for him.
I like that.
Yeah. Well, he wrote a long article on this and the
intercept that Yeah, yeah. And it went on and on and just
condemned the whole build this practice of destroying to
destroy Tulsi Gabbard,
in the article he did not mention, he doesn't have the
background on new knowledge. That's the part that he's
missing. He's missing these guys. These are the guys that
wrote the report that was heralded by everybody
was just did slam new knowledge in his article. Yeah, okay.
Well, yes, but I think well, I, I thought he could have expanded
a little more. I have a second. This was a he was on Tucker,
actually from his hideout in Brazil. I have this second clip
about the Neo cons moving from the right to the left, my
thought was just worth worth taking along here in 2014.
And you can go Google this. There's an article in The New
York Times op ed by someone who has tried to attract Neo cons
for a long time saying that it was clear that there was rising
isolationism and anti war sentiment in the Republican
Party. And Neo cons were therefore migrating back to the
Democrats, especially in excitement over the prospect
that Hillary Clinton would be the nominee for president in
2016. And that she essentially has a neocon foreign policy. She
supported the war in Iraq, she supported regime change in
Libya. She was highly critical of Obama for not doing more in
Libya for not arming anti Russian factions in Ukraine.
They love Hillary Clinton, and they were migrating back to the
Democratic Party. So Democrats have become reunited with neocon
so anyone who deviates from the neocon agenda, whether on the
left or on the right, instantly gets accused of being an asset
or a stooge of the Kremlin. And that's what they did. And NBC in
this case, relied on a firm that just got caught six weeks ago,
fabricating Russia data, they got kicked off Facebook for
doing it. And that was NBC leading quote, expert for
claiming that chatter shows that the Kremlin is now favoring
Tulsi Gabbard,
there you go. You still you still missing that port part.
Yeah. And he's kind of right. You know, the funny thing is
people don't realize that the Neo cons all these war mongers
that took over the Bush administration. Crystal, who
else? Well, Bill Kristol the guy that wolf Wolfowitz, with the
World Bank, it's a whole bunch of them, and they're all
identifiable everyone. John
Bolton, how
about that John Bolton? Yeah, John. One of them he they're
making some headway into the Trump administration. Now I
don't know why Trump is yeah, we
do know because they're all involved in weird section. They
can't talk about oh, that
could be whatever the case they were originally Liberal
Democrats from the 60s the 60s style Liberal Democrat which
does involve often it from that era, the pre aids era a lot of
kinky sex and so they voted they've some of the Democrat
party that didn't want these guys and so they all became
Republicans their party thing was a non issue to them they
just wanted to write because it caused havoc create war take
over the world they wrote papers about it you can read about
American new century I think is one of them
if Project for a New American Century that pride. Yeah, that
which is the peen AK, which is the document that said we need a
new Pearl Harbor maybe someone could fly an airplane into the
World Trade Tower.
Legend say that specifically, but that's what they were
hinting at.
came pretty damn close.
So yeah, that's good. You get those guys out of the getting
black, so they should be out of they should have formed their
own party to the new Neo cons,
Neo con party sounds like sounds like a winner. I think you know,
I bet you, I bet you someone could twist that and make people
buy it. I think I think it's doable. Some a little bit of
bearnaise sauce on there, and you're good to go.
And it just takes a lot of Bernays
before we get to the State of the Union, which you do need to
talk about. I'd like to preface it with a couple of short clips
from pod save the privileged I'm sorry, pod save America, which
is this is your new beat. Yeah, I've been listening to some
podcasts and getting some stuff. So these are the parts of
America very, very successful podcast, although I think
they're doing some weird stuff because they don't have a show
every day. And they had a show before the state of the day
before the State of the Union didn't have one the day after
didn't have one today, they're doing these shows on the road.
And so they can't record they can only record when they're on
stage to harder, but they're making a lot of money. I mean,
doing these theater shows, I mean, that's that's bank, that's
the bank for them. But you know, and you can hear they're kind of
tired of like, Okay, we're gonna travel here travel there. That's
really their their main income, although, although I do have, we
can decide if we want to play it. I do have one of their live
reads. But we'll start off. This is pre the State of the Union
from pod save the privilege is what I call them now. And
they're former speech writers for Obama, two of them. And so
they start talking about speech writing. And, and I, I don't
know anything about speech, writing. I know that Obama had
some great jokes, he could deliver Humpty Dumpty, and it
would sound great. But these guys kind of take all the credit
for that. But they also like to slam Trump's writer in advance
of anything. And here it is.
Stephen Miller is such a bad writer to offend you guys as
former Well, I mean, no speech writer, he's someone that can't
even put together a sentence is writing these
things. I mean, it's hard to get past the racism with Stephen
Miller, you know, yeah, so that sucks. That's up front. So you
don't usually get to the fact that even if he weren't so
racist, his writing would be really bad. So speechwriter just
a bad
writer, right. Like if there were if there were if this was a
normal Republican president Stephen Miller would have
applied to be speechwriter and his would not have made it out
of the first pile, because there would have been a pile of better
speeches. And then there would have been like, oh, who was oh,
that racist guy. Yeah, yeah. Well, we didn't even get to that
when we were. We were declining his speeches
shortly George Bush's policies, horrendous, horrendous policies.
MICHAEL GERSON pretty good speech writer. Yeah, great
speaker.
Choosing greatness is like a bad motivational speaker you might
hear at halftime of a high school football game. That is
the theme.
I don't know much about writers.
But well, I don't know much about high school football
games. Except that was in high school once and I don't remember
any motivational speaker coming out and giving us a big pep
talk. What school did these guys go to?
I'm sure some privileged, preppy school. I don't know. But I just
thought, you know, if you're a writer, is that how you talk
about other writers? I guess. I guess. Yeah. I guess writer.
Yes. Yeah. The answer.
writers do that is really the sleazeballs that do that is a
lot of them. Yeah. Well, they're on this show. They they lord it
over everybody they've just condemned the other writers that
are come take him down the competition is what it amounts
to. And that is that the fact that they the era that in public
is is usually always behind the scenes. That's kind of weak.
That's beyond weak. That is very lame. Yeah. And it is extremely
douchey these guys are douchebags
wait for it. So now they're going to talk about the
democratic answer the con under State of the Union by Stacey
Abrams, that who stays
the one who lost they bring her out just the best they can do
well listen to the hagiography they perform on her.
The Democrats have chosen former Georgia House Minority Leader
Stacey Abrams to deliver the response to Trump. Guys, how
tough is this job? What do you think of the decision? And what
do you want to hear from Stacey Abrams,
I think it's an inspired choice thing. She is one of the most
exciting candidates who ran last cycle. Unfortunately, she does
not win. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a bright future
in the party.
Great choice. And she's brilliant. We love Stacey
Abrams, you know, I would say it is a it is a very, very tough
job to do this, the speech that she gave on election night. And
then the follow up speech she gave when she refused to concede
when she accepted the results, but refused to concede were two
of the best speeches I've heard from a Democratic politician in
yours. She is brilliant. She also just
wrote this really fantastic, fantastic piece in Foreign
Policy magazine of all places, it
is brilliant. And I defy it to be seen, I defy someone to find
a politician who writes in that kind of academic style so
brilliantly in either party. In politics today,
it actually, you know, what I appreciate about it is actually
it reminds me also, it reminds me of, you know, she's not
writing it to make a case for herself as a candidate. She's
saying, Here's what I believe. Here's the kind of politics I
ascribe to that will guide me in the future. And it reminds me
also of so a lot of the early writing of Elizabeth Warren,
that was not geared around helping her win, but just sort
of laying out an ideological case for kind of economic
politics. And this was laying out an ideological case for kind
of identity politics that she just defended, and in a really
thoughtful and smart way.
Yes, she's so inspiring. She's just the best writer ever. You
should read this piece if you haven't in Foreign Policy
magazine. It's about identity politics and how it's good and
it brings us together. It's like, whoa,
foreign policies, the magazine you read, if you want to see
what to see, the Council on Foreign Relations is up to what
they're trying to push.
Huh? Well, maybe that's why she's there. Maybe it seems like
she's being pushed because when I looked after the State of the
Union, I saw Yeah, of course. After the after the Democratic
response, like Aha, she's a rising star. She's crazy. You
know, Chuck Schumer wants to run for Senate. It's like okay,
that's fine.
Well, I've seen her talk I've watched her I don't know what
the fuss is about. No, I didn't read her material and i By the
way, which I which I doubt she wrote
by the way, tell me she wasn't on green screen. She was totally
on green
screen state. I didn't study it. I didn't watch her live and I
was watching it on a small on the
computer. You've got to see it. It's a window it's so it's so
pathetic. They had they I think what here's what happened they
had her in a room and it did have a I don't think it was a
green background of his a background and it just felt
really dead and so they said oh, we got to put some people behind
her and had this B roll footage and they keyed her on top of it
because it wasn't green screen the key the outline of her her
hair her whatever she was wearing her jacket or sweater it
was you could see it I mean I've been around television long
enough this was breaking superimposed and it's just like
yeah par for the course you phonies couldn't even get a
crowd in to have her do this speech was which is about her
and her family and her dad and now I guess it was inspired. And
then by what Yeah, well inspired by
looking in the mirror. Um, it's I'm inspirational.
And then I think we can play this. The pod save the privilege
boys go from all this hoity toity in his straight into an ad
pod save
America is brought to you by Oatley Oatley as the vegan plant
based oat milk originally from Sweden now available in the US
sound like
they're really into this product.
Actually, this is really an ad for
the crooked media about the rigging of insincerity. Wait,
it gets better, because they're going to try and play it off as
well. Listen to this. Here we go.
Actually, this is really an ad for the cricket media ad
department. Because look at Olli they invent oat milk in the 90s
and managed to make more than enough of it to keep Swedes
happy for 25 years. They bring their nice little oat milk to
the US run some ads on the pot and boom, they get cleaned out.
They probably thought running it out in the pod would make their
lives better, you know, just to introduce a few Americans to oat
milk, but it made their lives a lot worse. Now they have to
build a bunch of oat milk factories just to keep up with
the demand. I bet they didn't think this would happen. The
monsters This is a boring story. And there's three people that
host this show in Los Angeles who has taught them out story
somewhat. There's
someone on the There's somebody
out do you see how this is going off the rails? These guys that
can't do it. They have to make fun of it. They can't take it
seriously. They can't bring themselves to actually read the
ad and just try and sell the product they have to sneak in
there and all kinds of little nuances that they, I mean, they
have to do this, but we're really above it. You
see, on the wire, there's been some wires crossed, because I
don't see any name here. And I hear somebody obeys editor. The
point is we were taking one or 2% of the credit for making
Oatley famous and their lives miserable, infamous.
Of course, there's a slight chance that only tastes so good
that people just like to buy a lot of IT people like Tommy, or
that it's sustainable and people like that, because they're
interested in having a planet to live on in the future. I think
we should just take the credit. Okay, yeah, it's all us. All
right. What
was the name of the product? John?
Oatmeal?
is my point. Exactly. Only. That's right. Pod. Save the
privilege, Cochon, nut milk, good work, boys. Do you think
one of them would have had em if they had it there and they could
all drink it and see what they think of it. Because they
probably wouldn't like it. I'm sorry that we that you have to
do this.
I don't have to, but I kind of feel good about doing it in an
odd way. And I like listening to their show. It's like just just
go Wow, all right. These guys definitely think differently
than me. Differently, different different ideas. It's okay.
That's what podcasting is good, different ideas. It's all good.
Let's slam writers. That guy can't write. You can't write
can't write.
Maybe. We're just talking about podcasting for a second before
we go into straighter the union casting, I mean, go podcasting.
So confirmed Spotify, acquired gimlet, media and anchor, and
they now will be folded into the Spotify business. And I went
back and reviewed, we actually have two proposals that we
received one from Spotify, one from Pandora. And I gotta tell
you, this, we can't do this, we can never go to one of these
outfits. Because when I read between the lines, and this is
more from my own experience and public knowledge, not
necessarily something that they sent me
event taken already, is that
it's going to these podcasts will no longer be playable
anywhere. But on Spotify of Spotify app, which is not
necessarily a bad thing. But if you don't pay, you will be
getting ads. And there's sufficient suspicion that you'll
be getting ads, even if you are paying, because they really have
to recoup this investment. And, yeah, you've got people on the
service and using it. But I think a lot of people will
continue with the the free, which is what the bulk of their
listeners are is free. And that's based on advertising. And
you won't be able to skip past the ads, which is another thing
that's going to be that rather complicated. But just the fact
that all of their deals surround some type of advertising makes
our show impossible for that just can't happen. Wouldn't be a
show.
Why don't we put together something special for them? No.
That's not our show. It's we still do our show. And then
we'll do the Spotify version.
No, I'm not. I can't I can't bring myself to do.
I had some oatmeal milk the other day. It was delicious.
Oh, tell me man. Wait, isn't that cool stuff from Sweden I
keep hearing about?
Yeah, it was it was really good. As we say
in Sweden, nut milk. Yes, goodbye. Maybe we couldn't do
it. actually wasn't that bad? I think we could. So can we
conclude this executive meeting? Yeah, that's it's a dud. It's
not for us. But however there is. I did find a service, which
I'll be talking about somewhere down the road. Finally did what
I've been looking for. They have a blanket license for all music.
Yeah, yes. And you can but it's not about streaming. Because if
I do, like the daily source code, if I brought that back,
which I would really like to, I'm not so worried about a
couple 100 people listening while I do it live on the
stream. But these guys have it so you can download it, put it
on your phone, listen to it, wherever you are. No ads. And of
course you have to pay for it. But it's you know, the the
pricing I think is what's interesting what they're doing.
You think you have to pay like a minimum of 299 a month to
subscribe to a channel that has whatever music is in it and no
matter how many shows are in there, and all the royalties for
the artists are paid out of that. And the rest goes to the
as a call creator. But here's the cool thing. You can put any
amount you want and the creator himself can say here's the
minimum amount. So it's kind of like a monetization platform all
in one way you can actually play music which is the only thing
I've been wanting to do for 10 years, longer than that 15
years. So for daily source code, there's some opportunities also
not including advertising. I just can't do it. I can't listen
to these pod save the privilege, guys. I can't, I can't do it. I
can't do it seriously, anymore.
I used to Oh, you're condemning them because they can't do it.
I'm condemning them,
because they're not taking it seriously. And they're just,
they're so embarrassed by it. even trying. They're not even
trying really? Yeah, they tried to write a little skit. It's
just lame. But that's all because they can't allow
any writers.
And the segment's close, good work. So we'll stay here, but we
do need your help. So we can continue to do things like what
were you doing? You were looking at Elizabeth? Elizabeth Warren's
Elizabeth Warren take. That's value for value right there. You
made my podcasting partner go look at Liz Warren pictures.
Danger pay, I say danger pays and is in order.
Well, we can start off talking about this the State of the
Union speech with NB C's, in this case, it was compromised.
It's a compilation that they did right off this MSNBC take on so
to blaming Biden is kind of an interesting, an interesting
little tidbit. They took the State of the Union speech, and
instead of analyzing No, no, no, they're gonna take the State of
the Union speech and then put some old Trump material in there
where he's being slammed in somebody's little more state of
the union slam and somebody's slamming, slamming slam and
straw, and then they're going, Ah, he's a horrible person. Oh,
God, but flat. Yeah, I think these guys are so stupid, that
they allow it. They have all the Trump slams of Biden. And it,
it's like they're condemning Trump for slamming Biden, but at
the same time, they're letting all this anti Biden propaganda
go over the air, even though they're supposedly mocking it.
I'm wondering whether they hate Biden, and they're doing this on
purpose and letting Trump take this, like, you know, well, this
guy said this, and you play a clip of him, even though it's
what you think, you know,
John, what I think is happening right now is there's so many
contenders potentially for the 2020 United States election,
which is just ridiculous that we're gonna I refuse to talk
about it for the next two years, but okay, we'll have to do
something. All these different stations are all different
fractions. CNN is choosing their people am NBC NBC News is
choosing their people. And they're doing it to Well, first
of all the kind of vetting you know, who has access to money to
the one who's kind of quiet right now is Beto, a but he
showed up on Oprah you know, Oprah's own network and he's on
so I'll let someone know, by the end of the month, you know, so
he's doing the rounds. And and the media outlets are just
seeing Okay, who really has the capability to spend a lot of
money advertising with us, and they promote them?
Yeah, and and probably exactly what it is. And they of course,
the big money person will come in late in the game because
she's learned her lesson is not to not to commit too early. And
that is Hillary, but let's just listen to this little bit here.
It's pretty funny.
This is the time to rekindle the bonds of love and loyalty and
memory that link us together as citizens as neighbors as
patriots. You are a rude, terrible person. That's okay. I
know you're not thinking you never do. They call her
Pocahontas. Very low IQ. low IQ. This is our future, our faith
and our choice to make life. We call them 1% Biden until Obama
took him off the trash heap. He couldn't do anything. Now he's
talking about Russia. I think she is very bad for our country.
I am asking you to choose greatness. No matter the trials
we face no matter the challenges to come head hair is getting
wider and wider and he's getting crazier and crazier. We must go
forward together.
Thank you for the brilliant people on my team put that
together that says it all I don't really have anything to
add that's called for unity said all those things. So it's do as
I say not do as I do. And if that moment during last night's
address seems sanctimonious, consider what Trump told a group
of TV anchors that have private lunch literally hours before.
When Peter Baker in the New York Times he writes, quote, Mr.
Trump dismissed former Vice President Joe Biden is dumb,
called Senator Chuck Schumer of New York and nasty son of a
bleep and mocked Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia who he said
choked like a dog at a news conference where he tried to
explain a racist yearbook photo that's according to multiple
people in the room. Joining us is a reporter with that scoop
Peter Baker, New York Times chief White House correspondent,
Peter Baker. There are some things that you read about him
that are amazing. And it wasn't choke like a dog and son of a
bleep. That was amazing. What was amazing is that they tried
to spin the anchors that there was going to be some grace note
in this speech that he was going to talk about unity. That to me,
was the big Whopper lie of the night.
Well, it's one thing to try to turn a corner to pivot away from
some of the division that there has been out there and try to in
effect, set a new tone of bipartisanship or unity. But to
have just a few hours earlier, a lunch like this where you make
clear that that's not really what's in your head and your
heart that moment. You know, it's pretty striking. I think
you're right.
Forget about his head, head and his heart. Here's what else came
out of his mouth. He said he hopes he will get to run against
Biden. I hope it's Biden. Biden was never very smart. He was a
terrible student. His gaffes are unbelievable. When I say
something that you might think is a gaffe, it's on purpose.
It's not a gaff, when Biden says something done. It's because
he's dumb. Yeah,
they do not want Biden to run, that's for sure. Yeah, I think
they are not protecting him at all, you know, then this is
what's your face. Nicole Wallace who you worked for? She was
Republican. She worked for the Republicans. She's really just
mean she's Vitor and bitter. And I think Van Jones. You know, he
he said the same thing that she just did there. Except he's did
it in seven seconds.
I, I saw this as a as a psychotically incoherent speech
with cookies and dog poop.
I mean, you nailed it, man. Just say that. Not sure what it
means?
Doesn't mean anything cookies and
dog poop?
Yeah, well, it was funny to look at the numbers that seem to have
come out of the speech, which is a huge, positive response in the
Republicans to the tune of 97% and 30%. For the Democrats and
82 for the independence, which is really all that count. Right?
How much for the independence 82. And who's whose numbers are
these?
This came from the sources that is a good source. And it was
used? I think I first saw it on C span. But it was it was a
decent source. Speaking
of which, C span speaking of C span, C span. And they started
to do all kinds of they made all kinds of Directorial Decisions I
had not seen before. They were cutting to people when it was
they were they had shot queues, they were ready. They were
tight. zooms, talk about socialism, boom, there's Bernie.
I mean, they had this down
Beto know that this wasn't a feed that were taken from NBC,
ABC or CBS.
I don't it's a pool. So I don't know who was in charge of it.
But it was not as a neutral as C span typically is
I would take I would assume they're taking somebody else's
feed. That's something they're not going to change their style,
their style is to put the camera up there and leave it there.
Well, it was a departure from previous state of the union's,
yeah, at least what I've seen, and we should probably say, the
State of the Union that because I'm sure everyone in the world
has heard about it, because the all foreign press just gets up
in the morning, copy, paste and translates into English,
whatever, the New York Times or The WaPo, whatever they said,
USA Today. And then they paste that file, it has some coffee,
good to go. So State of the Union is something in our
constitution where the from time to time, the president shall
update both houses of Congress on the State of the Union. So
all of this is just show. Good show. And it's also you know, he
could have, quite honestly, he said the State of the Union is
strong. Like when I disagree, I think we got lots of problems. I
would have thought a better although Trump would never do
that if he said, we got our issues, but we're doing okay.
Something like that. Would have been a little a little more
funny thing
is is that there was a good rundown. I think it was the done
by the times are one of the one of the papers of the length of,
of the speeches. And it's very clear when you look at the
shortest speeches and the longest speeches, that the
shortest speeches are always done by Republicans. And the
longest speeches are always done by Democrats, except Trump falls
into the Democrat camp, having two of the longest speeches 82
and 88 minutes right under the record breaker which was Bill
Clinton I think it was 90 minutes.
This thing should have been 45 minutes tops shouldn't have
been that there are some there are some that if you look at
this, that this little there are some shorty some 30 minute
speeches, which would be just fine. We don't need this long
spell what it is.
This was his. It was a tone. I liked his tone by the way, I
thought he struck the right tone. I think that that does
matter do something about it. It was just right. He started off
with a lot of the heavy breathing and got that under
control. The was more like a rally. It's just it didn't have
the enthusiasm of a rally, but at all the same topics and he
had moments where, like when he got everyone, all of the house,
chanting USA, USA, I would have been like, All right, let's go.
That's what we need. Everybody see? Yeah. And he should have
walked off right there would have been perfect. All right. We
have unity. I've done it. We all love USA. Go USA and I'm out.
That would have been fantastic. But no. Then he came back with
ripping babies from mothers wombs. It was a real roller
coaster.
Well, then there's the issue of these idiotic white dresses.
Well, that's
that's Nancy's little army. Nancy's army who she's signaling
to like, she'd be quiet. What the hell was Nancy doing with
those papers? What was in those papers that she had to shuffle
up just,
she's just like an anchor at the desk.
Just shuffling the papers, she's standing up looking at the
papers and a little desk. It was really and she's, and I think
this is just age, I don't wanna be ageist. But you're in your
80s. And you don't realize everyone's sitting down and
we're moving on. Oh, crap. Let me shuffle my paper sit down
now. And then just signaling for people to get up for people to
sit down. It was pathetic. I think it made it really was a
disservice to these women.
In my opinion, it every Republican Woman was in the
White, and they were doing high fives, Democrat, Republican
silly. It looked like a sorority club or something. It was very,
I thought it was demeaning to be honest about it. But they C span
did have a little thing at the end where they were you had the
mic out there on their desk, and everybody would walk by for some
comments. And so they wanted to know what this what the point of
White was, why was it red? It could have been yellow by blue.
How about Green
Giant? Washington, a Democrat, first of all, the Democratic
women were all dressed in white for what reason there? Yes,
it was very powerful. And you saw that almost all of us were
on the Democratic side of the chamber. There were a couple of
moments there where President Trump mentioned women and the
power of women. I don't think he expected us to take it the way
we did. But we all started high fiving each other and we were
very happy that the power of women was recognized. I would
just point out we were all on the Democratic side of the
chamber.
It seemed a little playful, though. He was playing with you
a little bit. Yeah, I
don't think he really had a choice. I mean, I think we sort
of took over the floor at that moment. And, and I think it was
really about the contributions of of women to this country. And
we're very proud that we have the most diverse the most female
Congress that we've seen a long time.
Okay, now I'm going to ask the question that you heard what she
said. He asked a question for what reason? Did you wear white?
Well, I know what was written about this, it was to celebrate
the suffragettes
that was written seemed that seemed to be written after the
fact as an excuse. And if you go back and look at suffragettes
stuff they will want they were a bustle,
bustle to tell what is a bustle
is that thing that makes up your hips look like? They're huge and
makes the dress flare way out.
Of bustle. Like you have a corset and then a bustle.
Yeah, of course it didn't a bustle. Well, now, this is
again, he asked her specifically for what reason? What did she
say? Did she answer that question? Oh, no, she did not
know I listened to it a couple of times she couldn't answer
because nobody knows it was a thing that say suffragettes
as far as I'm concerned. It was the thing that AOC started when
she took her oath when she was sworn in. And she at the time
said it was representative of the suffragettes I think it was
an AOC thing that Nancy wanted to keep under control. And she
wanted to pull it all towards her. And and I think the combo
of the white with the pearls they all had on was kind of a
fashion No, no,
no, that was a horrible horrible look.
Yeah, I mean, I've been around fashion like now this is not
although AOCs white outfit was stunning. What a great outfit. I
like that a lot.
That was good. She had she had a stylish she's the only one
now that was a great outfit. And I love that you though do you
see some woman like with black on oh boy where someone with red
no Hello State of the Union five years ago used to be they all
came in red you know the power the power women
dumb as white thing was, it was pretty interesting to see it
from the from the camera angle, but it was Do I don't think it
was I think it was a flop.
Well, it identified everybody and it was about them. Well,
this is what's interesting is they were all scowling at all,
but most were scowling. Were not clapping until it was about
them. And then they were all jumping up and down. Yeah. Which
is like, Okay, who are you really there for? It was, to me,
it was a fun show to watch. It was way too long. I mean, that
and I, and I think Trump should have had the, the, the
showmanship to know when to stop it. Or you should have reordered
some of these topics and gotten some of the things they just the
flow was way too roller coaster, there was no, no build up to the
end. In that regard. It was poor,
very poor. And I didn't think much of it. I didn't, but I
never liked any of these. Now, we did have the guy again, back
to the C span guy. I thought this was funny. This Paul Tonko.
He comes in and he has his he condemns the this speech for a
reason that was kind of an unexpected, but I got a kick out
of this, of course, because it's automatic for our show.
What committees are you on? And what are your legislative goals
for this being in the majority? Sure, I serve on Energy and
Commerce, and I serve on Science, Space, and Technology.
Under energy and commerce. I now have the chairmanship state
responsibility of the Subcommittee on Environment and
Climate Change. So very distressed that I didn't hear a
word about climate change. When the President talks about
national security. Climate change is an ultimate solution.
When he talks about international harmony, climate
change is a threat to that harmony, we need to address it
women. I want to go back and listen to that, again, that was
pretty was pretty stellar.
Climate changes and ultimate solution?
Sounds very creepy. Let's go back a little more about
climate change. When the President talks about national
security. Climate change is an ultimate solution.
So national security, climate change is the ultimate solution.
That's exactly what he said, what what do you think that
means?
I wonder myself, I always say ever since he said that, I've
been wondering what it what it might mean. Climate change is
the ultimate solution to national security. How does that
work? What in what way? Is it the ultimate solution? And
anytime,
anytime you says ultimate solution? It sounds? Yeah, Nazis
is what it sounds like. Yeah, Nazis, they have the ultimate
solution creepy.
When he talks about international harmony, climate
change is a threat to that harmony, we need to address it.
I will tell you, we'll continue. We're going to continue forward
with our advocacy for climate change to be addressed. We're
having our first hearing tomorrow, we will show the
American public that we hear the people we will embrace and
respect science, we will understand let them know we
understand the urgency. And we will work very hard to develop
solutions based on science and evidence. So we're going to have
a very aggressive approach. There has been a dry spell for
far too long in the House of Representatives with this issue
not being addressed. It impacts great greatly on our on our
economy, it impacts on public, and it's costing us dearly.
Yeah, well, AOC, the AOC faction just came out with a new new
version of the new Green Deal, which I haven't had a chance to
review, but I will for Sunday. So it's it's it's kind of like
the Constitution, you know, it's a living document.
Now, we do have the guy saying that the public is irked by all
this, that we haven't been discussing it enough. I don't
know anyone who's worked by it personally. But maybe it's just
me. He's just making this up as he goes along. But but the truth
comes out in the second part of his clip, where he mentions
really what this is always going to be about is snuck in there as
usual. You'll hear it
so you bring a good bring a spotlight to that issue. But if
you want legislation, a what kind of legislation would you
aim for? And be What are you gonna do about the Senate? Okay,
I think we have support in a in both houses. And I believe
there's growing support based on the public's desire to have this
issue address. So I'm confident we can approach this issue along
two tracks simultaneously, one where we harvest the low hanging
fruit, energy efficiency, weatherization, conservation,
research, grid modernization, recharging stations that are
made more accessible, more readily, fueling the cars that
we electrify and then also on a separate track.
What did he say? more readily. back a little more. hear great
modernization, grid modernization, whatever that
means,
recharging stations that are made more accessible, more
readily fueling the cars that
this is an odd statement to say recharge stations more readily
available to fuel the cars,
we electrify and then realize separate track, but
simultaneously address a price on carbon measurement of
reduction of carbon pollution, we need to be much more soundly
the stewards of our environment. And we need to respect the
generations that will follow us your district has been affected
by industrial job loss. The President seems to have an
industrial policy. Do you agree with him? Not always. I think he
his rhetoric doesn't match his actions
to the guy's rust belt area, and I guess it's the nobody can get
work because of him and his stupid ideas. But they've keep
voting demand. So what are you gonna do as a Democrat bunch of
Democrat union guys is my guess. All right. Anyway, that's one of
the one of the things that I noticed the climate, I call him
the climate change jerk.
You want to transition to climate change for a minute, and
you want to stick with
a couple more of the things. I do have a switchback example
that was on the State of the Union speech done by NBC?
Well, we can't do anything until you call it a whipsaw.
I can't remember what they call it.
So,
tomorrow night, the State of the Union divided with President
Trump fighting on multiple fronts, like immigration, the
very topic that prompted the first 35 Day government
shutdown. Now Mr. Trump is refusing to rule out a second
shutdown, unless Democrats fund his border wall.
Well, we're gonna have to see what happens.
So let's go over this one. He refused, he refuses to rule out
a second shutdown. We'll see what happens. And he says, we'll
see what happens. How is that?
How was that ruling it out? Not at all. It's not ruling. And
she just said that. And I'd never heard him make an
assertion. I refused to rule out a sec. No, he never did that.
And then they have this lame clip of him saying,
I mean, let me listen to it again.
Tomorrow night, the State of the Union divided with President
Trump fighting on multiple fronts, like immigration, the
very topic that prompted the first 35 Day government
shutdown. Now Mr. Trump is refusing to rule out a second
shutdown, unless Democrats fund his border wall.
Well, we're gonna have to see what happens.
Yeah, and it's even more interesting that, you know, this
is threatening threatening with a national emergency. That was a
question that was initially asked by a member of the press,
and he said, Oh, yeah, I could do that. That's possible. He
never came out and stated at the press, you know, hounded him for
it. Yeah, there's at least that's the only instance I can
recall.
Well, I think we've already isolate what's really going to
happen, which is not a national. No, it's
a 10 USC 284, which gives the President this absolute
authority to implement all the things he's been talking about
under the auspices of stopping drugs and transnational crime.
And that's already law, and he doesn't have to get any
appropriation for it. He can just go do it.
Yeah, I think that was one of the if anyone listens to this
show regularly, they will note that this is one of the greatest
observations that I think we've ever put out there. Well, let's
say let's say for us, and when I came up with it, let's see if he
uses it. Let's see, well, it's obvious what that guy when he's
questioning, we can go back and do that segment again. But let's
go to the second by the way, there's this was a series of
about four switchback or whipsaws. By these are the only
two that were the best. And so I just took these two, this is
number two,
and the President is ramping up his threats to declare a
national emergency, even as some allies urged him not to how can
President Trump strike a unifying node at a State of the
Union address with the threat of a national emergency on the
table,
but the two are not the same. The National Emergency if he
were, in fact to execute on that Christian, which he has not so
far, is because he believes that we have a crisis on the southern
border.
Right now. I missed this one.
Okay, let's start. Let me give it another run. Welker says he's
ramping up his threats, ah, declare a national emergency.
They can't even find any sort of a clip that would serve anything
to do with right so they bring in Kellyanne Conway and
Kellyanne asked her an obscure question that's got nothing to
do with anything which what she He says, I don't know what
you're talking about. Where's so the point is that there this is
a little more advanced instead of you exemplifying the the the
idiotic with a comment that's got nothing to do with it by the
person that they're accusing of having something to do with it.
They bring in a third party that can't even get that close. But
again,
and the President is ramping up his threats to declare a
national emergency, even as some allies urged him not to how can
President Trump strike a unifying node at a State of the
Union address with the threat of a national emergency on the
table?
Well, the two are not the same. The National Emergency if he
were, in fact to execute on that Christian, which he has not so
far, is because he believes that we have a crisis on the southern
border. We'll
also do you put in there that allies or allies are urging him
not to do this what I didn't even know that our allies were
urging this? Well,
we didn't have an example of that either. They go to
Kellyanne Conway, who is an obvious ally, and she's like
befuddled by the question. So he's not ramping up his threats.
This is NBC in its shameful really misleading reporting that
just never ends, which is exactly what Glenn Greenwald is
talking to said at the beginning of the show that from that clip
of his he says that these guys are just hopeful, hopeless,
and the Republican well Fox News I should just say Fox News with
here's an example of Fox News. homerun knocked it out of the
park great speech. That's pretty much what everyone's that was it
that was all home run, knocked it out of the park coach, rockin
and rollin and grid good. And then they all go off and yell
about the women in white and everything. This is so harmful
to your health. And I hope that a lot of no agenda producers
tried to save some of the family members not even let them watch
it. Just just in these cases, it's much healthier to let us do
that. And we've built up some resistance over the years. Yeah.
And our family have a sense of humor.
Yeah. And our families understand us like oh, well,
okay.
Those poor bastards.
But, thanks to you, I don't mean you, John, thanks to the
producers of this program, which is everyone within the sound of
our voices? Is this possible is it you make it possible for us
to do this to sit around and and do this type of deep dive look
for stuff try and scan at all to keep your amygdala at a small
level, a small size and and to keep your your family and
professional life? Calm? And we have many ways that people
support the show. A lot of it is through donations. Yes, sure.
But there's there's clips, there's knowledge people send us
there's artwork, but for now as he's got his drama out, it's
time to say thank you for your courage in the morning to you
the man who put the C and Kremlin crush John C. Devorah.
Back
in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry. In the morning all ships
and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and
all the names and dates out there
in the morning to the trolls and the troll room. No agenda
stream.com is where you get a nice little pre stream from void
Zero gets everybody in the mood as a 24/7 operation. So tons of
podcasts that you can listen to, and and troll them troll people
while you're in there. And sometimes they actually help
quite well with this show, correcting us in real time. And
no agenda stream.com And in the morning to Mark G he brought us
the artwork for episode 1109. Big senior moment, Mr. Dvorak,
you and I big senior moment on this one. But we named the
episode Penta con.
We named it episode Pentagon before? Yes. A week before?
Not No, not quite that bad. I think it was and you know, and
there was a moment where I thought to myself, you know,
that's not because I'm usually the one that goes let's just
look this up just to make sure we haven't already used this.
And I'm looking for it and when did we use that? But we did and
people called us on it and I felt pretty stupid. It felt like
well, we should have called the Pentagon to just renamed it and
well
you know, once the feed is published, going back and
changing stuff results in tears is really not a good thing. It's
very sad, but we do want to thank Mark G profusely for
bringing us this artwork. This was a Super Bowl related artwork
that had our episode number on it MC IX 1x MC 1x. And it was
nice. Yeah. You didn't like it? No, it's not that I didn't like
it that Are other things but it's it's a tough call because
we know people will listen to the show a day after the Super
Bowl how many people really give a rat's ass about the Super
Bowl? But then you look at the quality of the art and
yeah, so quality. Mark is Margie. Margie is
pro stuff pro stuff. And please take a look at all the
submissions all the artwork is just beautiful to see no agenda
art generator.com And we thank not only Mark G, but everybody
who is always trying to make our program better for our album
art. And it makes a difference because it does show up in
directories and in hot lists. And it's it's exciting. It's
like ah, but there's something new. Because it's just different
artwork. It's not you know, your your, your vision doesn't get
used to just seeing it, or whatever. You know, like we're
often next to Rachel Maddow. It's just Rachel the same
picture of Rachel. We got all kinds of we had goats, we got
Super Bowl things, we got a fantastic piece of artwork. It's
exciting. And people click and we appreciate
it always looks like something new, which it is. It is a few
people think for sure what 1011 10 Were your next show, by
the way is 1111 which is a double lucky number.
Yes. 1111.
I mean, there's all kinds of ways you can go. I'm trying to
push people to $11.11 the subscription. Yeah, that'd be
great way to celebrate this really great way to be the 11
elevens weekly subscription.
And also 1111 is what a lot of people seem to see when they
look at digital clocks. Now it's 1111 a lot of people have this.
Oh, and I see I see 1111 All the time. Yeah, you're supposed to
make a wish. Oh, yeah.
It comes true. It works.
Does really I'll give it a shot. Okay. Sirpa funk $333 So I got
an email back and forth was and ended up blocking him
he's a nice okay, you blocked a night but
well he first he sends me this I think it was a Reddit exchange
where they can somebody of course you know this we don't
look at these pages, but then I don't like seeing them I don't
go to their those pages because I find them to be just a bunch
of dirt bags that are making comments where they don't know
what they're talking about. And so he's sent a screen capture of
somebody condemning me for being an old fart
out from the Reddit Yeah, that
was like the it was back and forth where I said that I I
listened to Michael Savage and switch to Hannity and found that
Hannity was executing something Savage was bitching about
executing advertising wise. And he says, you would listen to
these guys and your you the guy says, oh, yeah, as old age only
old folks this guy say, Well, you know, I also listened to Jim
Rome. I also did I listened to everything that's that's talk
radio related. Just so happens I was I liked Michael Savage
because he's funny. And so I sent him that note, so he sends
me a thing back a second second email. I don't need saying hey,
do you have a thing for Amy Goodman of democracy now? You
keep using your clips. And I said by and blocked him. I'm not
gonna put up with this.
Yeah, that's That's odd, because I think he's the guy from
Indiana who I met.
Yeah, well, it's beside the point. I'm just saying what it
you know, that is pretty you just pretty much described the
one guy on Reddit who has eight accounts and that's all he does
all day is bitch about
stuff like this. Anyway, so poor funk says, You donate 333 which
I'm not going to bid you about. Uh, sorry about upsetting you
yesterday via email, please forgive me. Hey, curry. What's
up? Hey, what's up? Sup bro? Atlas plug who this is 19 He's
got they have an operation out there in the middle of nowhere
at 90 studios.com which has to do with they review Netflix or
explore Netflix is one of them. Okay, well, it's at
90 studios.com numbers. Okay, in j&k. Okay, well, thank
you very much to perform and I'm sure he's really sorry, John.
And he's learned that you know,
if anything's when they put up with a new guy administering the
squirrel mail or come on I put up a bounce notice I'm not quite
sure how to retrieve it. So I'll look at it maybe Oh,
well, I think probably what he was doing was just trying to
show you the moronic that go on. I mean,
I don't know. Yeah, it wasn't done in a very playful way.
Okay, well as the first to say oh, we only had this all we got.
This is Dexter. Buddy. Oh, can I read those? Yeah, he
moved to great bro. Britain.

Yeah, well, the guy's going to be a billionaire. So your pod
father and John please give me a deed douching Oh, hold on. I
should do that here de douching for sponging off the no agenda
show for a century under the false pretense that is somehow
not required to donate. You've been deed deuced it recently
occurred to me that my relationship with Christina
that's my daughter 10 years ago Dexter was Christina's
boyfriend, no longer warranted the free ride I'd felt entitled
to. I did teach this this I taught this boy well. I have
been feeling guilt ever since. However, I've not felt I've been
in a position to pay my dues. Until now. Please take my
donation as a downpayment for the quest of knighthood. The
amount to earn $41.19 relates to the 24th of the first 2019 the
day I sold both my vape companies. As I am tied into
working for the man for the next six months, I would like to ask
for new job karma as I plan to contribute a small portion of
all significant financial successes I achieve moving
forward as a way of repaying you both for the sanity no agenda
provides me hopefully upon hearing you read this message
out of some of the guilt. Hopefully upon hearing you read
this message out of some of the guilt I've been feeling will
subside. Despite this averaging it only 26 cents per show I've
listened to since being hit in the mouth by Adam himself. To
those of you listening that have also been sponging off and a
like I have good luck. I felt like the son Adam never had ah
it's just what I feel. No, no, no, come on. That's real, yet
I've only managed 10 years so unless you're the keeper, do
yourself a big favor as you also deserve to free yourself from
the self entitled shackles that hold you back from guilt free
informational, no agenda listening pleasure. For those
that really can't afford to donate you better be punching
mouths harder than Tyson Keep up the great work Adam and John I
look forward to seeing you get your swords out for me in the
near future hashtag no homo hashtag or maybe a little bit
Dex Ah, that's so sweet. Yes, he needs a jobs karma. We're gonna
lay that on him right now. The son

you guys anyway, so
please, we don't do that much just deconstruct news stories.
Yeah, well thank you very much to our executive producer and
associates that way we have one exec or two. We have 211
executive producer and our our Associate Executive Producers
very much appreciated. We have more people to thank $50 above
in our second segment and remember that these credits are
official credits, they are good and valued wherever credits are
accepted. So portray them loudly and proudly and remember our
next show will be on Sunday please support the workout
vorak.org/n A we've broken it all
down for you. You can sound super smart now I think our
formula is this we go out with people in the mouth will tidy
out
yet you can change
you know 11 squared which would be a good numbers 121 which I
think is a reasonable donation. 121. And then 11 Cube though is
1331 which is cool but a little high. I do have a note from from
producer Catherine new donation amount suggestion. With the
show's tiddy trend in donations I'm suggesting to do a new
donation of 30.08 or MOBE. In calculator speak. This donation
amount is suggested for those hoping to recognize the gender
inequalities faced daily by men, so evidently clearly, so clearly
evident after years of SJW influence and hypocrisy. At the
same time. However, the relatively small donation amount
under 50 allows producers to maintain anonymity in their
silence support. I'm specifically donating today in
honor of two important ex wives in my life. My would be common
law spouse, Bill Walsh, aka Saturday night and submitter of
John's got ants is on show day Thursday, February 8, six, eight
days eight. You want to put them on the birthday list because I
didn't do that.
Oh, hold on a second. Now Now you tell me know who to who?
Bill Walsh, sir Saturday night from Katherine
and his birthday today. From Katherine, okay, by the way,
it's pronounced moobs. None mobs you said mobs or something? I
know you said I said moobs. Now I see it's written moves. I
don't know what I said. I knew human resource, Edwin, who
started us with the nephew department on January 17. Here's
hoping that he does not suffer from the enlarged amygdala of
those in the generation before him and And finally now men can
finally say, Look at mine too. For housekeeping, I sent this
donation in Canadian. Okay, well, just to
confuse things even more. Your moves are light. All right,
oops. Hey, Joe Rogan had a Jack Dorsey on
here Taliban beard.
Yeah. And that's pretty much all you can say about him. But it
was quite interesting. I thought it was a good interview. Uh, no,
it was not really a great interview. But I heard the
things that Dorsey was saying. And I did bring a couple of
clips to share. What was kind of interesting is that Rogan put
out on Instagram of Jackson to come back because a lot of
people really unhappy that we didn't address D platforming
deeply enough, which is like, wow, okay. I mean, it certainly
was addressed, but, and he gave the answers I just knew maybe
people don't hear it. And there were some other issues with
this. I mean, I think that if you're going to have a main
advertiser on your show, you're gonna interview him that you
kind of should mention that upfront. Not until almost at the
end of the interview, as Rogen gets ready to promote the Square
Cash App, as it kind of come up like, Yeah, we really love your
cash app. So he's getting paid. So that you know that it's what
we call that it's just not clean.
Okay, there's a native ad.
Well, it wasn't, but
it's just like, gola. Yeah.
It's like, you know, this horse. I mean, that's when you get is
then when people feel that you didn't dive into a topic deep
enough, you're gonna get accused. Well, it's your it's
your advertiser, which of course is true. And I'm sure that the
Rogan, you know, you always think about these things. I'm
not gonna piss this guy off. And by the way, why would you he has
some interesting thoughts. So I'd like to play a few clips
that I, that I selected from, from this interview that answers
a lot of questions least did for me, I'm not quite sure why
people didn't feel they got enough out of it. The first
thing is how Twitter and you know, when when you listen to
these guys talking, listen to Dorsey talk, and I had to cut
out a lot of pauses. So that disclaimer upfront, you realize
that, you know, Twitter. The thing about Twitter, that's
that, to me is the most interesting is it's used by
politicians. And and you know, of course, Trump started, this
really started the big use of it. But it's as you as you
realize that all over the world leaders and politicians are
using Twitter now in a similar fashion, to Trump, maybe not
with the same fabulous humor, but they are using it to set
policy and communicate directly with their constituents. It's
kind of a big deal. It's plumbing. And it's much bigger
than Instagram or Facebook in that regard, because it's so
instantaneous. And well, a lot of it has to do also with the
way it functions. And as we've discussed in a lot of our
different segments about this, it's user interface is really
what makes Twitter unique. And and it's it's not it's not the
colors or anything, but it's the giving weight to an original
post giving the same weight to the comments. And this is the
reason although not implied in this clip. The reason why
Twitter blocks the you can't basically create a different
Twitter client, you have to use theirs because they know the
minute someone changes the visual context of Twitter, their
game ends, the thing
is every on Instagram, or any any blog, you have this, this
post the statement and you have comments underneath, whereas
with Twitter, everything is on the same surface. Right? It's
all one surface, you know, there's room for both models,
but I this conversation, most conversations it's it's not you
making a statement and me just reacting to our conversation
evolves based on what we say we can interrupt one another we
can, you know, we can completely change the subject, I can take
control of the conversation. And the people who might find that
interesting, follow it and the folks that don't just stop
listening, whereas you can't do that in a post comment model,
but it's thinking it's just so close to thinking like there's
no composition and I think that different
how so how is it different than a post on Instagram or post on
Facebook?
The speed demands, you know, the character constraint the speed
kind of just demanded, more conscious present focused
thinking versus like stepping back and opposing them. Letter
Yeah, and composing a letter and thinking about all the outcomes.
That make sense. Now, because of this because they maniacally
control the way it's presented, the way the information is
presented. This is where they get to do a lot of things like
shadow banning only, they don't call it shadow banning, they
just call it like moving you down, and kind of, you know,
moving you away, so people don't see you right away. And so this
is the main I'm sorry, do you want to say some? No, no, I
thought going. This is kind of the main clip about the D
platforming. And it was always a riddle to me and net to Tina as
well. It'd be like, well, how can this person say this? And
they don't get in trouble yet this person says it and they get
warned or kicked off. And what the conversation always goes
down to as well. That person's right wing, that person's
liberal, that person's Democrat versus Republican. You know,
they're suppressing Republicans and not suppressing liberals.
Dorsey's answer to this was very surprising. They don't look at
at the actual content at all. It's about conduct.
So the simple answer is we look at conduct. We don't we don't
look at the speech itself. We look at conduct we look at how
the tool is being used. And you're you're right in that,
like, I think when people see Twitter, they see, and they
expect it to be a public square. They can go into that public
square, they can say whatever they want, they can get on a
pedestal. And people might gather around them and listen to
what they have to say some of them might find it offensive,
and they leave. The difference is there's there's also this
concept of this megaphone, and the megaphone can be highly
targeted with Twitter as well. Right? So it's not it's not the
it's not the speech, it's how it's amplified.
When do you decide this is harassment? When do you decide
this is hate speech? When, like, how do you I mean, this is we
look at the context, and it absolutely is a fictional
account, right? Fictional person we're talking about, but what
what would dictate something that was egregious enough for
you to eliminate them from your platform?
Well, that's a, that's a, that's a heavy action. So that's the
last resort. But we look at the conduct the probability of
someone who is harassing one person, it's highly probable
that they're also harassing 10 more people, right? So we can
look at that behavior, we can look at how many times this
person is being blocked, or muted, or reported. And based on
all those, all that data, we can actually take some action, but
we also have to, we have to correlate it with the other side
of that, because people go on and they coordinate blocks as
well. And they coordinate harassment, and they and they
coordinate, I'm sorry, not harassment, but reporting,
reporting a particular account to get it shut down and to, to
take the voice off the service. So these are the considerations
we have to make. But it's, it's, it all starts with conduct. And
oftentimes, we'll see coordinated conduct, whether it
be that one person opening multiple accounts, or
coordinating with multiple accounts that they don't own to,
you know, go after someone and there's a bunch of vectors that
people use retweet for that. The quote, tweet for that a lot as
well, like, you know, they'll quote tweet, a tweet that
someone finds and they'll say, look at this idiot, Twitter, do
your thing. And then just this mob starts and goes and tries to
effectively shut that person down. So there's a bunch of
tools we can use, the permanent suspension is the last resort,
one of the things that we can do is we can down rank, the
replies. So any of these any of these behaviors and conduct that
looks link linked, we can actually push farther down in
the reply chain, so it's all still there, but you might have
to push a button to actually see it, you might have to show more
replies to actually see this harassing account or what might
look like harassing language.
So I buy this, I think, of course, there's always
exceptions to it, but I do think that's kind of how it happens
because it makes sense that it's not so much about what someone
is saying but you know, there's so many of these when we see it
ourselves, you get someone who's tweeting out shit to you shit to
me, you know, there's a conversation show and just go to
race as right rah rah rah rah rah rah just starts yelling in
that regard, if
you go please. Yes, of course,
in that regard, it makes sense because, you know, it is a
public square the way he views it, and you know, people yelling
and not being constructive. There's a lot of this
conversation talk that he does, and he backs it up by explaining
how the initial work now Deep platforming not kicking off. But
definitely identification of abusive conduct. And subsequent
shadow banning is what we'll call it. That is really done by
as he calls it. Artificial intelligence.
And this is manually done.
This is this is all this is all automated. It's automated. Yeah.
But how would you like the ranking in the end, looking at
amplification and looking at the network,
I love how Dorsey just says automated. And then Rogan, of
course, is automated.
Right? Like in terms of down ranking? Is there a discussion
as to whether or not this person's report should be down
ranked? Like how do you how do you figure that out?
It's it's a machine learning and deep learning model, and AI,
whoa, row. So it's a I'm really blown away? Yeah, it's skip
logic is what it is, if this, if this person has five mutes, then
consider him to be down rank is just skip logic is not add love
doors, is machine learning is a Oh,
it's it's a machine learning and deep learning model. And they
ai, ai and they, you know, and we, we look at, we look at how
these things are doing and where they make mistakes, and then we
improve it. It's just constantly improving, constantly learning.
And those are the things that our technology allows it
changes, the velocity changes. How, you know, to broadcast a
message that someone didn't really ask for and didn't want
to hear, we don't touch. If I follow Joe Rogan, you'll see
every single tweet, we don't touch it. Right, right. But
that's an audience that you earn. But in your replies page,
we have a little bit more room, because this is a this is a
conversation that starts up and some people just want to disrupt
it. And all we're saying is, we're gonna look at moving the
disruption down, not that it's hidden, but it's still there.
But you know, you just see it a little bit farther down, the
algorithms rank and order the conversation, but they don't
take suspension actions, They don't take they don't remove
content, they might suggest to human to look at this, who might
look at our rules and look at the content and and try to look
at the context of the conversation and then take
action. But we would like to move towards a lot more
automated enforcement. But more importantly, how do we, how do
we highlight? How do we amplify more of the healthier
discussion, conversation?
It's already apparent, you know, when I look at the troll room,
as this is playing, that people are like, oh, shit that I
believe in? I really do another time code. No, I can't keep
doing timecode I believe him. I think he's, I think he, he's
telling a version of the truth that he wants to believe I'm
sure there's all kinds of funny business going on. But in
general, that's the way it's being run. And he's smart,
because he realizes that Twitter has no real future as a
centralized service. When you look at Mastodon and basically
the federated universe, the fediverse, as we call it, of
social media, which is growing quickly, and he wants to be a
part of it. But and in this clip, we're almost done here. He
sees Twitter's role in the fediverse, which I thought was
eye opening,
we're going to a world, especially with technology like
blockchain, that all content that exist that is ever created,
will exist forever, you won't be able to take it down, you won't
be able to censor it, it won't be centralized at all. Our role
is around what we recommend based on your interest and based
on who you follow and helping you to get into that on ramp.
But if you look at the market technology, it's a given that
anytime something is created, it's going to exist forever.
This is what blockchain helps enable down the line. And we
need to make sure that we're paying attention to that. And
also realizing that, you know, our role is like how do we how
do we get people the stuff that they really want to see in the
find valuable that the learn from that though, make them
think that that will help them evolve the conversation as well.
I don't know how commercially viable that's going to be, but
to say, you know, our job is to get you what you want is I think
it's a pretty big statement versus everything happens on our
platform, he realizes that's not going to be possible. And also
that negates the whole idea of having to D platform someone if
the tweets and the information is out because he's talking
about DHT distributed hash space, which is just totally
where this is going. And then the final one is his his belief
in a cryptocurrency specifically Bitcoin.
So back to the internet. I believe the internet will have a
native currency. Really, it'll have a native currency and I
don't know if it's Bitcoin I think it will because Just given
all the tests it's been through and the principles behind it,
how it was created. And you know, it was it was something
that was born on the internet that was developed on the
internet, but it was tested on the internet, it is of the
internet. I just look at this and like how do we embrace this
technology, not react to it in a in, you know, more from a threat
standpoint, but like, what does it enable us to do and where
does our value shift? It's a fascinating time in technology,
because like that, that to me was one of the one of the last
big, centralized, nach nationalized instruments is
currency is money. And when you think about the internet as a,
as a country, as a market as a nation, it's going to have its
own currency.
And he puts his money where his mouth is that did the Lightning
Network Bitcoin transfer thing yesterday participated in that.
So that seems to give some credence to Bitcoin as the
future and I would have, I would have had a bit got a little mini
man crush on Dorsey if he hadn't messed it up. With just 112
seconds of answer messed it up. I can no longer like him. One of
my favorite things is when someone posts something stupid,
and then underneath it is a bunch of gifs we say gifs or
GIFs? I say gee, if does anybody know?
Yes, it gifts I guess. Gifts?
No, I'm sorry. That's just wrong.
Wow, I'm stunned that he says gifts, he knows better, he
should know better.
The guy who invented it, calls it gifs calls it GIF. What does
he know?
So that kind of ruined the whole thing for me. That coupled with
the lack of the question of how do you make money would have
been interesting to know. Where does that billion dollars a
quarter come from? We'd like to know I'd like to know how much
of it is ads. Are you selling the data brokers?
That would have been a good question. That would have been a
good question but that's probably what is going to bring
him back
No, he's bringing them back to talk more about D platform
oh that's a lie just said that just as a there's some reasons
go he's already probably booked him to get him back because he
likes
I think cool Danielle rich no Dorsey's coming back to rescind
and sit and call it gifs that's that's the only reason to come
back. Kidding me
man. It should go back for
no I don't know if he's really running his company with the
with this insight and this deeper thinking deep learning
but I think he's saying some interesting things here. I think
he does interest he does have a handle on what's happening and
of course the shallow we're only interested in Alex Jones kicked
off
I would stick with it was the Alex Jones question even asked
Yeah, but the answer was so long and it was a repeat because he
said the same thing it was he said when when he was de
platformed by Apple and everyone else they kept him on because
they just didn't see any abusive conduct. And to wit there was
also very low reporting of his account he says that was the odd
thing is that people were not reporting and I think a lot of
people forget to do that. Because you know it takes four
clicks you got to answer a survey you got to do through
prove you're not a bot and then you can say oh, and then
well if nobody's good then why they get deep platformed
because apparently conduct there was some some conduct that he
used that
the trim buddy at the company you know they got social justice
warriors working there behind
course, of course. I mean, that's that's another
question. This guy I'm gonna just drop him that's another
thing. Yeah,
that's a good question. A computer told us to
do it. Right. Sounds great to have that because computers a
backup excuse.
I just thought it was I thought it was a good I thought it was
enlightening. I learned something I did something yeah
let's get to it. Let's get at least catch up with the some
current events.
Yeah, like how wrong we were about a Super Bowl. But the
Super Bowl. Yeah. Well, okay. I
mentioned in the newsletter what was the social political reasons
for Boston to win New York, New England?
Because Elizabeth Warren is a can't be president.
We have no reason that's what maybe the game was rigged as
possible that the game was rigged for the for the Rams to
win, but they sucked so bad. That the no matter what you did
the only score three points the whole game because they'd shut
down to the New England team and only scored 13 points. I mean,
there's nothing for them, I guess. Maybe 60 at the end. No,
I don't know. But let's talk about something interesting.
Just say saying I wish that we talked about I promise we talked
about we talked to
yeah we were I thought the Rams you know, I kind of confused
them with goats for goat power but of course the only goat was
was
was the team which yes
now right now the Rams the fears that these guys they need a
brand refresh they need new uniforms new helmets I'm looking
at these outfits and the Patriots they got like cool like
warrior helmets with all their they got little sides to it and
little flat bits and a thing that looks like it'll pop up and
shoot a laser gun from the top and the RAM like you know, hello
1970s uniform. That was just bad television.
God Alright, that's enough, I guess. No.
I noticed some other have no clips or anything, but I noticed
the commercials. Oh, yes.
Let's talk about that,
uh, too many commercials with robots and or talking tubes.
Like is and all of them not at all anywhere near reality.
They've got these you know, Alexa like Google devices that
you know, they just interrupt the conversation you have a real
conversational flow with them completely like the four of
them. And then every added a robot this robot that it was, it
was not, it was not good. I don't think any of those ads
were funny really or, or entertaining and it kind of
showed this dystopian future that we're not even really
living in because these talking tubes are still pretty lame. I
just didn't see I liked the T Mobile Ads. I actually thought
those were the funniest.
I thought they Bud Light commercials with the king
because I've been following these commercials since the
beginning. And they did a really good job. I thought Bud Light
did a great job of pointing out the fact that the other light
beers used corn syrup. That was
that was good. Yeah though. Of course they didn't point out
that they use rice but all right, no, they
pointed out they have their their ingredients label and it
says rice on there. And they point that out but they don't
use corn syrup. And they made a I thought that was a good ad
with the corn syrup barrel being moved from place. I was like
yeah, you're right. That was funny. And then they had the
there was a lot of ads that were co sponsored by more than one
advertiser and I think the bud light commercial that was also
co sponsored by the that show that that whatever that crazy
shows with the dragon that breathes fire okay Game of
Thrones the Game of Thrones
I never get those commercials you know you and I have not for
me I've tried I couldn't get through it and so that whenever
these references it takes me until the very end like oh I see
it was Game of Thrones it's just lost on me oh
what it says game of draw out
the end the very end like it was
lost like the but like commercials just to say that
they do a good job and I really find it very funny that this
king the Bud Light King who's moose something of a of a of a
prick? is I just find them very funny. All right, but Boston
also he had a this she this Antifa clip I'm not sure it's
real.
No more does this I don't know some
kid this is on it is a meme floating around about some time
from Simon Antifa again, he has this little phrase he likes to
use and it became a meme on the I think Twitter or or one of
these systems with this dance to play this. Just play Boston
Antifa NPC meme chant
okay Dustin 29 Here Boston Antiva I like everyone to repeat
after me in Casey made go away we are human here to stay and PC
may go away. We are human here to stay. NPC make go away. We
are human here to stay Shame shame shame shame shame shame
shame.
I think we played this months ago.
Yeah, it's possible but whatever the case is I didn't I so it but
I have it now for as far as a candidate for end of show which
is the shame I show which I think would be nice.
Let's check it out. Shame. Shame, shame, shame, shame,
shame, shame.
I do have a competing one as an option. Let me see. Have this
nice this is a I thought this might be good.
God told me destroy Joe Rogan. That was
kind of like Alex Jones again. God told me destroy Joe Rogan.
God told me destroy Joe Rogan. I don't know. Pretty close to your
shame clip.
They're pretty competitive.
I think I even had a an extra one. Yeah, Yeah, then I have
this is one of our producers put this together they found they
got they got the Google Home to say this.
It was a glitch. Try again in a few seconds.
I don't think it's good enough. No. I think Shame, shame, shame,
Atlanta, shame, shame, shame all ended nicely there because we
got some great end of show mixes today. So we'll do that.
So, back to back to international news. I do have a
Brexit clip. Ah, good. I've
been wondering what's going on,
on what's going on nothing. Faraj on his show on his LBC on
his radio talk show LBC I think he dug up an old Corbin clip and
made a bargain as
the socialist Labour leader who hates
labour. They just yeah, he's the Labour leader, he would be the
Prime Minister of Labour ever took over. And they found an old
clip of Corbyn going on and on about how bad the whole idea of
the being in the EU is. Which is contradicted. By the way to me.
I'd like to maybe you can explain it because you live
there quite a while. Labour the Labour Party was supposed to
represent labor. Isn't that? Am I wrong about that is the Labour
Party because it represents labor? Yeah. Technical. I mean,
they're most
likely it's like one hour laundry if you want to be
just the name of it. Yeah.
If you want to be specific, it could be that they're about
labor. Yeah.
Because it seems to me that being in the EU is not really
supporting British labor. No,
no, it's not it's supporting British freedom of movement, as
what they say is
not the same as British Labour. But so I've always wondered why
the Labour Party was always so pro EU and pro remainers. When
it's really the bankers out of the super remainders are the
ones who want to stay stay forever, of course, because they
see themselves as a different class of people. And they're in
their own city in the middle of London. And so I was always
baffled by this. But it doesn't surprise me that somebody from
labour would be against the EU. But let's just play this Faraj
clip when he's writing him about this
remind ourselves of what he said in that speech. We are creating
for ourselves here,
one massive, great Frankenstein, which will damage all of us in
the long run. Well,
I mean, I agree with that. But it got he's more Brexit that I
am. I mean, Corbin is a hardliner. I only called it the
new Soviet. He calls it a Frankenstein. And yet, how does
that work? How does that fit? With the shadow Brexit Secretary
Keir Starmer speaking on this very issue of second
referendums?
If we cannot get a general election, Labour must support
all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for
a public vote. That was our commitment. I mean,
I think there's going to be trouble ahead at some point. And
remember, folks, is in a very powerful position, and he turned
a blind eye to eight of his shadow ministers last week,
going against the party line on the Cooper amendment goodness
knows. Could it be that it's Jeremy Corbyn that saves Brexit?
Wow, what a thought.
Now, Faraj, it kind of lost a little credibility with me just
yelling on the sidelines.
Yeah, pretty much is like,
Okay, where are they?
I don't know that he's even. I mean, he's not the best radio
guy.
He's so rare. His voice is so recognizable though. That makes
it great. You just like oh, yes, no, it immediately that's him.
Right off the bat. Oh, you're you're kind of a call you an
expert on collectibles. Kind of want to say hoarder, but you're
you're an expert on collectibles aren't you know you know you
when you
buy? Oh, how do I know how the market works? Yes,
I saw a commercial. I don't know if it was local. Or if it was a
national spot for the Trumpy bear.
This thing this thing to Trumpy bear.
You got it? Well, I don't have a clip but I thought you would
have seen a Trumpy bear.com And it's this bear that has you know
a red tie. blue suit you know like a teddy bear with Trump
hair orange Trump hair which you then you know you can comb it.
And then if you zip and open and American flag comes out. It's
like it's one of the most unbelievable products I've ever
seen. Like this is got this has got to be a collectible.
35 bucks for this thing dirty. You're limited edition Trumpy
bear 3295
What do you think? Is this a collectible? Is this something
that all or is it just something though? clutter? Clutter
everything out?
No, it is a collectible. It's totally a collectible and it
would go into the political collections that end up in
museums usually Oh All the other stuff that's, you know,
associated bumper stickers plans, pennants wall hangings,
there's a lot of them and they're, they're collectible.
The problem with collecting this stuff is not a near term
collection. This is yearning for the long haul.
You gotta you gotta hold on to it. Yeah,
you got to hold on to this puppy. I do have a collection of
some political stuff, including a box, a box, a box of Kennedy
bumper stickers from 1962. I guess it's 62 or 64. What did I
say? By 62? Or 60? No, is 6096 It says Kennedy isn't a very
distinctive font. And I have like, I must have 100 of them.
And I don't know somewhere along the lines, I just grabbed 100
and put them in a box and I've picked somehow kept it 60 And
they're still good. I think it'd be funny to have a Kennedy
bumper sticker on your car. Only even as collectibles are worth
maybe $5 apiece, maybe $1.
I see that. See, that's what I love about you. Because I'm
holding on to him anyway, one day, it'll be worth money. $5
Today is seven tomorrow. minute if you could get that kind of
money for? Yeah.
Okay. Let me see. Yeah, there was something odd. Associated
Press reported the day before the State of the Union, which
was also picked up by the Washington Post that Ruth Bader
Ginsburg made her first public appearance since undergoing lung
cancer surgery in December. Yeah. So what they claim is that
she wasn't at the State of the Union, we saw her absence. At
five euro Ginsburg is attending a concert at a museum a few
blocks from the White House that is being given by her daughter
in law and other musicians. The concert is dedicated to Ginsburg
Ginsburg's life in law. She had surgery in New York on December
21. She missed arguments at the court, her first illness related
absence in more than 25 years. The Justice sat in the back of
the darkened auditorium at the National Museum of Women in the
Arts, the National Constitution Center, which sponsored the
concert did not permit photography. Interestingly,
there's tons of photos from this event, tons of them on Instagram
everywhere. And not a single one of Ginsburg. And this just feels
conspiracy theories,
I think, well, it should. They've got to keep at least
they have to keep keep it going. Keep they gotta keep her quote
unquote, alive. She's alive. They have to keep her alive for
two years, even though she may not be alive.
Okay, they gotta keep her alive for two other I think they can
do it for a year and then they can stall.
Oh, yeah. Then they can stall with the argument that below $1
with the Senate being really run by Republicans and that may not
be able to completely stall. I mean, they'll try to stall I did
deal with this last guy Kavanaugh right but they have to
do that. So now it's going to be people on the lookout for she's
got to show up somewhere. Producer
Seth and I put it all in the show notes he wrote he has this
I mean, this is like
find a look alike by the way and get away with that. They should
yeah. Producers are Oh ladies out there that looked like her
producer Seth
did a huge rundown with links and everything, you know, to
backup his assertion that she's dead. And and that is being
covered up by the by the fake news media. So that and that was
here Washington Post says the same thing makes her first
appearance and this was a day before the State of the Union.
And then we heard nothing after that didn't I didn't hear him
talking about her not being there. Norris Clarence Thomas.
Well, but yeah, I think you're right. You have to have to keep
her quote unquote, alive for at least a year. Okay, the watches
on
just that weekend. It was the Weekend at Bernie's
burners. Weekend at Bernie's. That's about right.
Yeah. Hey, how you doing?
I'm just gonna coin a little term here. I'm not quite sure
even if it's the right term yet. We need like something like
living the app life or app society. I think living the app
life may be better because this is what a lot of young people
are doing and is living their lives through apps such as IKEA.
who have just announced that they will have an app very
similar to Uber, where you will be able to rent furniture from
IKEA. This is how bad it must be. Oh, you wondered how the
economy was doing? Yes. And I think the next step is you rent
someone else's Ikea furniture. It's coming. It's come. This is
pretty, pretty sad this sad state of affairs. And then this
happened in Austin. Many electric
scooter riders and drivers extra aware of their surroundings
tonight after hearing about a crash that sent a scooter rider
to the hospital with a head injury.
Now this happened last night at I 35 and Sixth Street policing
the person on the scooter was at fault going the wrong way on the
frontage road. kickstands huge in tow discovered new
information about the car involved in also spoke with
people who ride scooters about how they're trying to stay safe.
I talked to the owner of that car that was involved in this
crash here at this very busy intersection. He told me he was
actually renting out his car through an app called hire car.
He said the driver who was driving his car through this app
is shocked
and upset.
So this is a fantastic situation. I'd like to know how
it works with the insurance. So you have someone who used an app
to rent an electric scooter was then hit by someone using an app
to rent someone else's car. Hey, it sounds like we're dealing
with the future. We are live in the future. But who who's
responsible? Who who know who pays for what where does the
insurance come in?
Well, who's whose car was at fault is supposed to pay for
everything. And the insurance company typically is supposed to
orchestrate that. That scenario.
Do good luck with that. I can't wait to see what if anything
comes with this.
Someone's got to come with it but does bring up an issue that
needs to be addressed which is people renting bikes and renting
scooters and not having a helmet and in a state that requires
helmets. We don't require helmets we do in California. I
know this. I don't see anyone on a scooter with a helmet on this
happened in Austin. No, I see the see these people in a lot of
homeless on the bicycle and they've got no helmet.
Okay, if you want to go talk to him about it. Hey, buddy.
Where's your helmet?
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
though I do have a few people that think for a show 1110
Starting with Matthew Lamar in Elwood, Illinois. $550.22 Thank

Oh my he Yeah, he sent me a separate note he has. Oh, yes.
He has a birthday shout out to is NA Wilk daughter. He sent me
a picture of her she's in the Air Force. She's learning to fly
and she wants to fly the B 50. twos and it looks like she's on
the path to to achieving that. Yeah,
so just getting that plane out of service. Senator, I sent a
picture of her you know, in a in a training fighter. It's pretty
badass. Yeah, we ever on the list. Absolutely. And we'll,
we'll add a Oh, he wants to. He wants to Trump's Pelosi jobs
karma for her so I'm gonna have to do that now because most
people don't want that combo.
So jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for
job karma and
he is a knight. That is not a recommended no but that's what
he wanted. So
well, we don't recommend that, for reasons that were just
expressed on previous shows. Russell road 6789 Mark Marsh,

big 1111 show on Sunday. A lot of excitement for that big lucky
numbers. Big big, big lucky numbers. I did want to do a
little climate change stuff.
Okay, you open the climate gate.
You know, it doesn't feel right the climate gate because you
know, this is not I mean, that was I want two years ago was the
climate gate
years ago gonna give us a little view.
And with all this, you typically have clips from the United
States about climate change and we're all gonna die
and of yours. Well be sure that you mentioned the 12 years
producer Simon got put together a couple of clips for us from
the BBC Breakfast Show radio five. It was horrendous hoity
toity. So you know, this is intelligence abound there on the
radio five. And let's share some of the current information,
information refining that is going on in the United Kingdom
of Gitmo estanque First
off, let's go on about the myth busting and the myth that this
ain't happening or it's not manmade or human responsibility.
There's quite a lot of this online and it goes all the way
up to President Trump who notoriously said that there is
no such thing as climate change it's all a Chinese conspiracy to
attack American capitalism and you see it from commentators
online but the BBC quite responsibly now it's like
evolution and no equivalence is given to the naysayers because
the science is overwhelming isn't it can't be overwhelming.
Yeah, I
mean, you're quite right. And I think in some ways, talking
about it as as a method kind of Raising attention of it again,
implies that there is some sort of, you know, some equal pneus
to, to these two sides, and they're just absolutely isn't.
The evidence is overwhelming.
So you don't have anyone on who is contrary, and just
overwhelming should be no equalent at all. Maybe we've
reached some form of tipping point.
What's absolutely clear about climate change is that it's a,
it's a big problem, and it's urgent. And we all absolutely
need to do something about it. But yeah, what was it? There's
no, there's no absolute certainty over the over the,
over the timescales. Sometimes we've been hearing recently
about a 12 year timescale. And in some ways that's useful to
think about,
wait, I thought we were gonna die in 12 years now, it's just
useful to think about.
But nobody really knows whether whether 10 years might be a
timescale that we've got before something really nasty. We've
talked before we start tipping a feedback mechanism that makes
quite nasty things happen in our climate, or whether we've got 15
years or whether we've already gone over that tipping point.
Bullshit guy now know what kind of bullshit it is. But he's got
no idea at all. And he's not completely with the program,
because the 12 years is death. Death. Man, I tell you
so much to get into more coming up later on. But do you just
very quickly do both despair about the fact that this is you
know, in America, there's a certain strain of evangelical
thinking, which says, this is not happening because God would
not let this happen.
Where is that? What this is, this is a lie. I just showed me
one report with one evangelical code for nut jobs.
Because, Holy God, that's a good one
for bid you have any faith, let's listen to the whole thing.
It's only 10. So yeah, I'll play it from beginning as I was
pretty lame, so much to get
into more coming up later on. But do you just very quickly do
both despair about the fact that this is, you know, in America,
there is a certain strain of evangelical thinking, which says
this is not happening because God would not let this happen.
And it's not just a Minority Report. These people are in the
White House. In in rational terms. Do we need a new
president? The plan?
You need a new broadcasting system? You dork.
Despicable. Right, let him play that again, because I thought he
said President of the planet.
Oh, let me say let's say let's play at home. in
rational terms. Do we need a new president? For the planet?
You're right. It's
for the planet. President planet?
Do we need a new president of for the planet? Yes. So these
guys are all in on one world government.
Yeah. When they and also ridiculing religion with a lie.
That I mean, I've I have you ever heard someone say, God, God
wouldn't have this? I think that would the opposite will be true.
A if God wants us, then that's what he's doing. Instead of God
wouldn't let this happen. That's okay. Because they have learned
from our media, and they go straight into abusing children
to drive home their point.
What is your dad's obsession? Isn't it? He's got to panels on
the roof, the grip the electric car? Is he mad?
No, because it will help the it'll help the world from global
warming.
Do you think so? Yeah,
yeah.
Do you agree with all this? Yes, I do.
Okay, okay. Well, the thing is, your your house is the only one
in the street with solar panels on isn't it? So what difference
is this making?
It helps a lot from global warming. So we need to get other
people to do this.
Yeah. How'd you get other people to do it?
We taught them and we let them know the consequences of
it. Do you really want go round school saying Oh, go green?
Well, that's what we need to do. Okay. Yes, yeah.
All right. And so I was I understand was that
Hitler Youth?
That's coming in a moment. Stay tuned,
boy, go green.
That's what we need to do. Okay. Yes,
yeah. All
right. All right. And so you too, as I understand it, I've
never been on a plane. There's not even a propeller plane or an
a glider. Why do you think that is?
Because the fumes from the plane,
pollute the world? And where do your friends go on holiday?
Well, my friends usually go to like Tunis, you or Mexico. On
planes. Sounds great. Yeah, where do you go? We usually go
to France and Germany and places
like that. Right? So you're not flying? Do you feel you're
missing out at all?
Not really, but because it's quite good as it's not polluting
the world.
Poor child is never going to go on what you were talking about
the Hitler yoga and now it's called the union. No, it's the
European Youth for climb. It's action that what the elites in
Brussels have seen is the great success of the truant out there
now for four weeks kids protesting something as long as
they're bundled up, bundled up warmly. They got shawls and hats
and gloves to, to yell against global warming. And now they
have the wait for this name. They have created a new European
Union initiative, which creates opportunities for young people
in the European solidarity corps.
How about that? How about
that's Hitler Youth.
That's what I that's why I'm bringing it up. You just said
it. Only it's not called Hitler Youth. It's called European
solidarity Corps. And they have they will have a budget of more
than I'm reading directly from the European Union press release
more than 340 million euros to cover a bra. That's that's
almost a half a billion euros to cover a broad range of
activities. With this overall budget, the European solidarity
cop could dedicate over 40 million to creating volunteering
opportunities in the investment in the areas of Environment and
Climate action by 2020.
And again, throw a rock through your window if you don't have
solar panels, and important
focus will be on getting the right skills and competencies
for the labor market of the future. Especially in the growth
sector of green jobs.
Yeah, yeah, tell that the Kleiner Perkins,
new projects under the European Youth for climate action can
cover a wide range of activities from training youth workers to
reuse and recycle materials, motivating youngsters
on that line, standing there, going through bottles,
motivating youngsters to use smartphone applications to save
energy.
What's
motivating youngsters to use smartphone applications to save
energy stimulating the spirit of green entrepreneurship to
developing skills in sustainable agriculture, sustainable
industry or the tertiary sector such as green green tourism,
marketing and education Additional funding transferred
from other EU programs to could create additional opportunities
you're right this is the Hitler Hugo and the European solidarity
core the ESC write it down there'll be a logo e a hello. Es
ESC here. We're here to check and see if your green do they?
Do they not see? Do they not see that
this is going to have a sash and an armband arm?
armbands are in baby well now back to the United States. Got a
note from one of our producers. My daughter nine is in the
school play this semester. She says to me Dad wait until I show
you the script they change the story it doesn't make any sense
they're doing the was it the i This the ice princess what was
the Disney movie with the ice princess? or Now I can't
Springtime for Hitler.
No no no tro helped me out. Yeah, the big one would let it
go frozen frozen Thank you frozen. Dad they change the
story doesn't make any sense. How can ELSS power stop global
warming global global warming? Aaron Dell isn't even a real
place this is by Dad this is just pandering so he's he sent
me a copy is nine year old said this. Well, that's what he
wrote. Yeah, he sent me a copy of page 17 and 18 and if you've
seen the movie then you know the story but I'll just read a
little bit. Elsa says but this power it's too harmful. I don't
want to hurt you. Anna Anna says you've been hurting me for years
Elsa, you have shut yourself away from me in the world. We
are sisters sisters are joined heart to heart and an Elsa
embrace. Elsa says, Look Anna, you're not frozen. We really are
joined at the heart makes a heart sign. Anna don't be afraid
of the power. Use it for good. Elsa for good. How can I use it
for good? Oh Lof ever heard of global warming? Snow and ice are
melting at our polar ice caps. With your power. Maybe you could
stop the melting. Frankly Some things are worth melting for but
I want to stick around and see how this story ends. Elsa wow, I
can use this power for good to help people all over the world.
That's powerful.
Yes, not in the original script. I gotta rewrite artists at the
school.
Yeah. But like the Lear foundation is at the at the
grade level now
to grade level rewriting some classic scripts.
It's just, it's just no.
I want to do as Romeo and Juliet.
Meanwhile, the news came out that 2018 was sadly not the
hottest year on record. Only the fourth hottest year this is a
great budget. Budget. This is N O A, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration may be part of them backing off.
Yes, sir. That's something we've identified. Now. It's just the
fourth hottest year on record. It used to be the hottest year
ever hottest year ever hottest year ever. But I think it's kind
of hard to get away with saying that when you have electric car
owners noticing that their vehicles lose about 40% of the
range in this in this bitter cold. And blizzard? Yes. And
Tesla owners who don't live in sunny warm California, are very
disappointed in their model three vehicles where the door
handles freeze, you know, the door handles on the Tesla they
pop out. Yeah, they can't pop out because they're frozen. So
you can't know what to do about can't open the car
ticket, do what you do in the Midwest, you take a cup of hot
water, throw it on the handle it open.
It doesn't measure hopeless doesn't make it fun to bitch and
moan about it. And then I have to kind of techie stories,
Google is now claiming, are
we leaving the climate gate? Do you want to close it? But you're
gonna if you got to close it, you got to close it. Wow. Okay.
What was the climate? That was worth it was worth it. I'll give
it to you.
When it comes to machine learning and AI, artificial
intelligence, I've been very skeptical. And one of my main
mantras has been, why don't you fix my email? If you can have
machine learning look at my email and make it work and and
give me things I absolutely want when I want them. Then I will
have some belief in your artificial intelligence. And
Google Now announces that they will. here's the here's the
headline. What are you doing?
I'm just saying this bullcrap, whatever you're going to read,
like Google
spam does not bring us joy ridding Gmail of 100 million
more spam messages with TensorFlow. TensorFlow is their
tensor flow. That's their open source machine learning
framework, brother, and
right away, that means more than newsletters is going to be put
to promotion. Yes, it's
true. Right away, people are complaining that Pay Pal
security notices, we're going to spam sounds like that TensorFlow
is doing its job. Now, when someone logs into your Pay Pal
account, it says your security message now that's going to
spam. We'll be routed to spam, no doubt. But they're saying
that they can do it.
Sure they can.
Machine learning makes catching spam possible and helping us
identify patterns in large data sets that humans who create the
rules might not catch. It makes it easy for us to adapt quickly
to ever changing spam attempts. Okay.
Oh, oh, I'm really nothing new in spam. What's the latest
review? Everyone gets some spam somehow. I mean, I don't get
much because I get no spam. But I looked into spam boxes. The
creativity of the spammers is not what it once was. They used
to put in code certain kinds of characters that the spam filter
would miss. And so you get this crazy stuff is there's not that
much of it. And the other thing about spam is nobody cares. If
so if it's pushed to the spam box, you're sending out millions
of messages. You only need a few to get through,
right. Except it hurts because we get trapped in there.
Yeah, I think almost anyone who has a newsletter gets trapped.
And then which is one of the reasons you want email so they
can get their newsletter. They subscribe, somebody subscribes
to the newsletter, and it goes into spam they subscribe to and
then they do a lot of guessing while I'm whitelisted. I've
tried to do everything but it keeps going into promotions or
spam. Promotions usually. And it's a hit and miss why because
there's a cup I have about five people that are looking at this
and constantly send me a note. We're just telling me where it
went. And it's like, no reason who should have done that.
Right, but whatever.
And then we got to note From producer who goes by the name of
hacker 1000. And it's just reiterating something we've
talked about, we've witnessed ourselves, we've known about and
just wanted him to weigh in and say, hey, you know, it's I've
been working as a freelance video editor in New York City
since 2014. It has now become painfully clear that all digital
media companies, and he's talking about ones like, oh, I
don't know, Viacom are buying fake views for their online
videos when they don't meet certain numbers. Somebody at
Comedy Central told me they were doing that a year ago, but ever
since I've been asking people at various companies if they buy
views, so far, everyone I've asked has said yes. Which leads
me to believe that all of the media companies are doing this
for their YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. I wouldn't be
surprised that these companies are buying followers as well,
all of it being done to lie to their advertisers, exaggerating
numbers to secure ad buys. And he says he believes a surprise
to us. The constant layoffs we're seeing is because the
waters are receding, and the tsunami is about to hit. So
yeah, no surprise to us. And of course, it's true. I wonder what
the real traffic is of the internet?
I don't know. But nobody wants to look at those Apple numbers.
The podcast, Apple podcast numbers. Yeah. No, no, no,
they're not very encouraging. No. at all, for anybody at all.
Oh, my goodness. Okay, what else do you have? I
do wanted to keep up with current events has been my theme
today. Yeah, very good. And I think they do have the latest
Venezuela. Report. This is from CBS. And notice noting the CBS
history they are all in on Venezuela overturning the
government no problem. Yeah, if I could only find it. I go
latest Venezuela,
the US wants Maduro out. Elizabeth Palmer in Caracas. The
Capitol reports military leaders support Maduro the soldiers.
Maybe not.
What we need is Maduro to leave. We must overthrow this
government.
Without the Armed Forces President Nicolas Maduro is
finished. So state TV broadcasts pictures almost daily showing
apparently loyal troops with their commander in chief. But in
reality, vast numbers of them on a salary of about $6 a month
have had enough. Why are they ready to desert the president
to clamp down because they're tired? We're suffering just like
the people are. Here's a formula in law you my family, for
example. My salary isn't even enough to buy food avoiding my
parents were born in Cambodia. Is this something you can talk
about among yourselves in the barracks? Or is it too
dangerous?
We trust the people we talk about what's going on in the
country, with the higher ranks don't know what we're talking
about. What is that is why I'm doing the interview like this,
to protect myself to convince
soldiers and their bras to defect to the opposition. Juan
guaido widely recognized as interim president has offered
them an amnesty, but the rank and file need more than that.
What will it take to get you to change sides?
In the National Guard, all we need as a high ranking general
to rebel, lead the way
the next task for the army will be in the coming days when large
quantities of humanitarian aid much of it sent by the United
States reached Venezuela's border. President Maduro has
ordered the military not to let it in and everybody is watching
to see whether or not they obey.
Now, this is CBS. Yeah, yeah. Who would you think they'd be
involved in this? They are through their CIA connections?
Well, this was the I think this was messaging. I think it was
done to indicate that one of your generals is gonna make out
on this if you are the one because
yeah, and we know that the military has been given
guaranteed visas us visas to remain loyal. So yeah, you I
think you're right. That's like, hey, anyone out there? Yeah,
we'll just need one guy, one guy
and we'll give you they will support you at whatever you make
you make your very comfortable so just somebody do it. So I
fear within the next week one of the generals will break away
could be
Yeah, that's definitely a good signal. Good catch.
The other thing going on was current events wise, is
things should be last we got some good mixes, we're running
on the low
end. I'm going to skip this Okay. On measles. I'll put it to
the Next show, okay, but am I so put in her row? You know that
woman that crazy Hawaiian, Corona, whatever her name is.
She's the Congress, US Senator or Representative, Congressman
congressman. Yeah,
with a militia. It might be a senator, because this was a one
of these hearings for somebody becoming a federal judge, which
only takes part in a sense, they must be up to look it up. And I
forgot, I should know. But anyway, she somehow brings in
dwarf tossing, as a topic of conversation, and of course,
makes a fool out of herself in the
actual situation. I think he responded to a, something that
happened in France, where they made dwarf tossing illegal. And
you I think that you said something like, you know, it's
up to them whether they admit they, this was an individual
decision, but why wouldn't
she having a seizure? What is going on with her?
Always, this is the woman she's always sighing but she's, but
first
of all, it's like a teenager. It's little people throwing, not
dwarf tossing, little people throwing that's very un-pc,
it would seem as though you're writing about dignitary harm
would apply to something like dwarf tossing. When that?
Yes, Senator, thank you for the opportunity to clarify that
again. It was in the I wrote about a particular case in
France. That was was that use different conceptions of
dignity? There was a town in France that banned your
throwing, there was an individual Mr. Wacken Heim who
made his living doing that and he said that this ban affected
his dignitary interest but but in my article, I don't take a
position one way or another on these issues. I'm just pointing
out I think
your article has been interpreted as that you were
okay. With adores tossing, this is one of the reasons that an
organization that supports their their issues is very much
against your nomination. What
What organization is that? Is that Is there an organization
for the banning of dwarf tossing? Guess I need to I want
to be a member of this club. This is very important stuff.
