Hello Cleveland, Adam curry, John C Devorah. And Sunday
February 17 2019. This is your award winning give on nation
media assassination episode 1130s with no agenda, tracing
Jamaican heritage and broadcasting live from the
capital, the drone Star state here in downtown Austin Tejas,
evening, Claudio, in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all talking metric.
I'm John C. Dvorak,
Raglan Buzzkill.
And he weasels it in. Go ahead and talk about metric.
Okay here so here I am, I'm trying to print out the clip
list. Yes. And I'm noticing this is cutting off the bottom clip.
I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but obviously we do you
see clip to see oh, yeah, you have it. And so I'm thinking
yes, I've noticed this several times. Yeah. And so I say, Well,
let me just put boiler room at the bottom of the page before I
print. And that's to solve the issue. But I got on my nerves,
because it's thing that does just doesn't print out doesn't
look right. So I started looking at all the settings and then all
of a sudden, for some reason, this Epson printer, it has been
set. And I can assure you that in a million years, I would not
have done this. It's been set for a4 paper, which is that
horrible, long kind of goofy looking paper that the Europeans
use.
It's what I grew up with, it doesn't feel bad to me.
No, it feels awkward to me. And I also don't like the fact that
it has a name a4 instead of a dimension, which I think is more
appropriate for anything such as this, the eight and a half by 11
is eight and a half inches by 11 inches, you know the size? Go?
What's the size of an a4 sheet?
I don't know. For four, they're trying
to separate you from reality. Okay, now the I'm reminded of
when I was a kid in the 60s. And then again, when I was writing
for I probably think was InfoWorld. When I was a kid, I
was told in high school and ah, you ever Oh, metric get used to
girl God metric metric metric metric. And that didn't pan out
to say the least. And then. So like 20 years later, it comes up
in a conversation, I'm getting all kinds of memos. Remember,
get ready to go to a4 paper, the United States is going to have
to use a4 paper by law. Because apparently you are going to have
to do anything with the Europeans even talk to him or
send him a sheet or a letter or memo. It has to be on a4 paper
where you'll be arrested. This
is probably one of the early globalist moves that that took
place.
I think so. Well. So I'm saying oh, a4 paper is dumb, but okay.
Because they you know, I mean, everyone has a half by 11.
Nothing came of it and another bluff. Which, which brings me to
Brexit, which I think is I think this whole thing is going to be
some sort of a horrible disaster is also a bluff.
Okay, I like that. I like where you're going with this.
Then I got no clips. But
Well, luckily, luckily the show has a clip, I got a clip, I got
a clip right here. I got a Brexit clip for you. This was
something that was not really picked up. I saw the maybe you
saw the President's rose garden speech about the national
emergency. Yeah, he had quite a little preamble. Then he had
some post amble as well, which is always to me the most
interesting rambling, isn't he? Yes, he had this to say about
the UK is the UK and the
US, as you probably have been seeing and hearing we're
agreeing to go forward and preserve our trade agreement.
You know, all of the situation with respect to Brexit, and the
complexity and the problems but we have a very good trading
relationship with UK and that's just been strengthened further.
So with the UK we're continuing our trade and we are going to
actually be increasing it very substantially as time goes by we
expect that the UK will be very, very substantially increased as
it relates to trade with the United States. The relationship
there also is very good. Yes.
Very good. Very more very bigger, very strong, much more
much, much more trade. It's the greatest trades ever. We trade.
We came we draw trod sod traded. I guess we cut some kind of
deal.
Yeah, I'm guessing we're gonna see a lot more British jams and
jellies do
I don't really have an update, aren't they in the middle of
some deliberation at the moment in the Brexit process.
I think they're all in straitjackets at this point. And
it's it's kind of sad because even if you go to your on news,
you just looking for some news. You can't really get it. It's
just on Brexit. It's like, oh, well, you know, maybe a thing
here or there just doesn't seem like they've got anything.
Because it got got nothing would make sense. I did learn
something about Europe actually. Something really important. You
remember the news article that we had maybe two shows ago about
the Italians kicking the French ambassador out?
Yeah, well, I think is was mutual. Didn't did this begin
with the French recalling the ambassador to Italy? The French
the aggressors in this deal? No,
I think the Italians were the aggressors. The Italian was
the French because they were irked about the Italians. This
unfortunate we should know all this. They were asked about the
Italians meddling in their yellow vest protests. Well,
that's not that wasn't. I think we hear France. Oh, yeah, it
does say this, France is sending its ambassador back to Italy
following the biggest diplomatic dispute between the two
countries since World War Two said, European Affairs Minister
blah, blah, blah, blah. They said a dramatic spat. Well, it
turns out this has nothing to do with the yellow vests, nothing
at all. It has to do with France, and their involvement in
Africa. And when I when I say makes more sense, yeah. When I
heard this, this report, one of our producers sent it to me. I
was like, wow, of course we knew this, I guess but hadn't. Maybe
I didn't know it seems kind of stupid. What we do know is that
the Europeans, the European Union, in particular, France,
and Germany, they have deals with Africa. We've got the, the
European African, what is it? It's some kind of one of these
big compacts one of these large agreements. And they have always
felt that the EU cannot live without Africa and vice versa.
It turns out it's really France. And when you hear this report,
it's a head slapper. In January,
Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Luigi de Mayo accused France of
fueling the migrant crisis by controlling the economies of
former African colonies to the local currency. The CFA, France
is
one of those countries that by printing money for 14 African
states prevents their economic development and contributes to
the fact that the refugees leave and then die in the sea or
arrive on our coasts.
So this is the dispute. Italy is saying and this report
continues. Italy is saying that because France really controls
the economy of 14 economies of 14 different African countries,
that it is because of their policy that is impoverishing
these countries. And that's why the young men are getting on
boats and dying in the seas off the coast of Italy or a lot of
them, of course, do make it the now Lampedusa and the island on
the south of Italy. And when you listen to the control, France
has over 14 countries, it's
well let's do this little background on this. We have to
remember there's a lot of French colonies in Africa and the old.
This is the background most of Africa if they have a second
language from their own district, it's French. Well
speak French. Well, this
is the background of the financial part of the
colonization, which we either didn't know had forgotten or is
not taught.
The comment came days before the start of the presidential
campaign in Senegal and the CFA is now part of the debate, with
each candidate taking positions on the matter, some arguing for
it, others against it, like Idris is sick, who asks Why
should white people in Paris take decisions on their
currency? The central African franc or the CFA has a fixed
exchange rate with the euro, so Europeans can bring euros to
Africa and easily swap them for the CFA. But state regulators
make it difficult for Africans to take CFA out of their country
and swap them into Euros. Under an arrangement dating back more
than 70 years. Frances central bank controls the treasury of
all 14 countries, leaving these nations with a limited supply of
liquidity. This guarantees a certain level of stability to
the currency allowing our Jain to shop at her favorite French
supermarket because French companies profit from this
arrangement. It allows them easy access to a growing market of
over 100 million people. But there's also growing resentment
towards this currency not just here in Senegal, but throughout
Francophone West Africa, France, get out the graffiti found in
various avenues of the capital. Sunya is behind the messaging.
We want a common currency but for West African countries only
without France's involvement. Why couldn't we have our own
currency like Morocco and Algeria? They are doing much
better than us.
France is so far yet so Close? Well, money travels more freely
than people. Europe continues to attract young African men. For
Jan's family, the journey is worth the risk.
So because France is the literal Federal Reserve, the central
bank, the printing press for this, these two African francs,
they do in de facto control what's going on? So they can't
inflate their currency, they can't deflate, they can't do
anything.
Well, it's a peg it to the euro. And then they don't there is one
way exchange, which is pretty pathetic. That's my favorite
part of me that these countries can just this country's moaning.
I mean, it's like I'm a head of a country. I'm saying, Well, why
can't we be like Morocco? And Algeria? Why don't you just
become like Morocco and Algeria and cut yourself loose from this
system?
I think they all looked at Libya. And Gadhafi is
a Euro dollar kind of, or I'm sorry, petro dollar scam, with a
gold base test, which is a little more aggressive than just
saying, Hey, we're gonna just print our own money.
Yeah. And then all of a sudden, you have Ebola in your country
and you got troops? I think they understand is not that simple.
Just stand up and say, No, we're not going to take it anymore.
The French are pretty aggressive when it comes to shooting stuff
up in Africa. Well, I mean, the whole piece of information,
I had no knowledge of it, right.
And also, what's interesting is that there's really there's the
CFA franc the Central African Franc, and then you have the,
the West African franc lens, if you will, to see it as a, they
don't. It's, they do have two different currency codes. It's
the X AF and the XOF 2x. O, F is for West African Frank 2x, AF
for the central and those two are incompatible. So they're not
even allowed to be exchanged against each other. With
obvious, no obvious reason, you can have them be forming a whole
block. This is this is a piece of global history. I was I'm
woefully under educated.
I wonder how the French profit from this you know, do something
like this? Well, the report is just crazy. Now.
They can go in they get to buy up all the beautiful stuff with
their euros. It's easily interchangeable. They go in they
build up everything they want is a huge now I'm sure the trade
deficit is crazy. Now, so they can get everything they want for
the price. Is there. I mean, it seems like a typical bankster
scheme. Yeah, well.
Why the Italians bent out of shape or this because of all the
dead
because the dishwasher upon their shores? I think they got
they have a point there. Yeah, you gotta point. So yeah, I
kinda I kind of thought that was.
I'm glad this has been brought to light. Yes. New information.
Yes.
New sheet has come to light man. Exactly. Okay. Well, we had the,
I guess we were pretty much spot on with the national emergency
declaration declare declared by the President thought
we weren't spot on. Oh, I
think we were
okay. How, tell me something how we were okay.
Well, we knew that he was going to do something under US Code to
USC 10 code to 84. Right, which he did. And he brought in
another previously funded and pre approved. Law. I'm just I'm
trying, I'm just gonna get to bring us up here, which was on a
second 50 USC 216 31. And then as the third part, he called for
the National Emergency. Actually, that is the section
2808 of title 10. US Code. The first two do not require a
national emergency to be enforced. The third one, I
believe that's the 2808 does require the national emergency.
And in his declaration, he specifically the President
specifically states that he will be appropriating these funds in
order. So it starts with the 1601 and then it goes to the
284. And that's about 5 billion together. So that's those are
just existing laws. He didn't need any national emergency and
the third, the third one, which will be challenged in the court,
of course, that does require invocation of a national
emergency. So he will the way I see what was done Here is, let's
call the National Emergency have everyone bitch and moan and take
take the whole thing to court. But it's really for the third
piece the first to go unchallenged and can start being
used immediately.
Ah, well, so it partially why would think he would I think the
other approach would have been just to do the other without a
national emergency just push those two elements into play.
But yeah, but I was saying it was a distraction is what you're
saying is a national emergency itself was a distraction, which
would draw attention away from the fact that he's already got a
bunch of money ready to go?
What Yeah, exactly. And so that probably won't even be
challenged, but I'll be looking at the National Emergency. I did
like how he positioned this, it was one of his best run on up
talking sentences ever,
the order was signed. And I'll sign the final papers as soon as
I get into the Oval Office, and we will have a national
emergency, and we will then be sued, and they will sue us in
the Ninth Circuit, even though it shouldn't be there. And we
will possibly get a bad ruling. And then we'll get another bad
ruling. And then we'll end up in the Supreme Court. And hopefully
we'll get a fair shake, and we'll win the Supreme Court,
just like the ban. They sued us in the Ninth Circuit, and we
lost and then we lost in the appellate division. And then we
went to the Supreme Court, and we won. That it was very
interesting, because yesterday, they were talking about the ban,
because we have a ban. It's very helpful. Madam Secretary, is
that right? Without the ban would have a bigger problem. We
have a ban on certain
No, you get the idea. He knows exactly what's going to happen.
And he doesn't care because it's for the last 3 billion and he
got an extra billion through the the legislation that came from
the House and the Senate.
Yeah, well, that works out then. Yeah, it's pretty sly. And
what's interesting is that everyone's probably the only
show that would point out this, this Gambit, because they've
talked about it on PBS. And they and they did have the woman,
that Alcindor woman come on, and she showed them different monies
and where they're coming from but she never put two and two
together like you just did. Yeah,
I'm sorry. You know, it takes you gotta be kind of dumb to get
through this stuff. I think overthink, overthink everything
like most of these jokes do. That's when you get confused.
Like this was NPR with WaPo journalists Karen Tumulty to
multi I'm not sure what her name is. And she's trying to explain
even just how a national emergency is, you know, it's not
even defined properly. This is something that presidents just
don't do. It's, you know, we have standards, and we have
morals, and we have a traditions and well listen, you
know, once again, we are reminded that the real checks on
presidential power in our system have always been norms.
This is interesting to me. We have absolute checks and
balances within our three branches of government, or this.
What would an AOC call them? The 333 halls of Congress
of three, yes.
So whatever she calls,
of course, we have checks and balances, but she feels this
WaPo journalist who would know, feels that it's only based on
norms,
more than laws and even court decisions. And Donald Trump is
no respecter of norms. So yes, there are some checks built into
the statute. If what the what the people who wrote it figure,
just, you know, if there was enough political pressure, you
might be able to stop the president because you could pass
a resolution in one house that would be privileged in the other
and, and that could block it. But you know, it does not appear
that they would have the votes to override a presidential veto
of that legislation. So again, I think the big lesson of the
Trump presidency has been how much we have depended on norms
to prevent presidential overreach. And this President,
you know, is no respecter of those
can just very briefly remind us what you mean by norms. You
know, give us an example of this is my favorite part. This is
what the clip is about. Just remind us, what norms are you
talking about? Now, it'll take you about 30 seconds to say
nothing that is not being respected or that's being cast
aside? Well,
it's on every level pause policy. I mean, you even look at
you know, the fact that this country, most of kind of the
International systems, the alliances that we have Have but
we see the President going out and, you know, talking about
pulling out of treaties and getting out of NATO
where the norms lady when, you
know, just just anywhere who sees them. I mean, he sees
the norm he at
presidential power, I think in a way that we've never seen, at
least in our lifetimes. Oh, President Bush looks that way.
Isn't
that great? She does this whole thing about the norms and the
checks and balances. She can't give one example. No.
Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper wobble wobble wobble.
Now in case anyone's interested I'm sure this has been done in
the mainstream if you really want to know what national
emergencies have been caught. I saw one I didn't clip it. I saw
one foreign news to news program was showing previous national
emergencies you know, this show bush with a with Iran Contra.
I'm not quite sure what, what Clinton what they showed for
Clinton, and they showed 911 for Bush two, and then Obama, swine
flu. Like that's the only
flu is declared a national emergency by Obama.
That's what it let me see. We'll take a look. Leave that well,
let's work backwards June 26 2008, continuing certain
restrictions with respect to North Korea. So that was a
national emergency. It's still in effect. Lebanon in 2007,
still, in effect, blocking property of certain persons in
the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is still in effect.
Cote d'Ivoire, which was terminated in 2016. Liberia,
which was revoked this actually is all stuff for foreign
countries, it 2004 prohibiting export of certain goods to Syria
still in a
foreign country or related Mexico. Yes, but
we don't border on Syria. The rocks are another
Rosco says we're bordering on that. Would it be more of a
national emergency? Then Syria?
Well, yes. But no, you know, Orange Man bad.
Well, we've heard nothing but bull crap about this being that
horrible overreach. And, and let me play this clip. This is David
Brooks. And this is on the you know, the PBS NewsHour where
they bring him and shields the old, droopy dog looking guy. And
they put the two of them on and are disposed to be twos, two
perspectives. And it's always one perspective is the same hate
Trump perspective, which is hurting the show, they need to
have somebody when they ask somebody, why did Trump do this?
I want to hear somebody that can explain it the way you just did,
or the way somebody who may be the thinks Trump is not a
horrible Orange Man. Explain Things to give us a balanced,
kind of a balanced look at things. So we have a ballot, you
know, one guy that's Pro and one guy's against us, which would be
not two guys who are again, well, and
let's be let's just make this very clear. We do not expect
this from cable news. We do expect it from the public
broadcast system from
give us nothing start David with. Okay, well, anyway, so
this is Brooks are asking him about this and just listen to
this response. This is giving us no balance whatsoever.
The President's announcement today that he didn't get enough
money for to beef up the border as he wanted, and therefore,
He's declaring a national emergency so that he can spend
up to $8 billion on it.
Yeah, well, this is awful. You know, I don't think it has to do
with any invasion, as he claimed, I think he lost the
government shutdown. So he's giving himself a performance
trophy. So he can say I'm a winner. I think there's more
about his psyche than anything actually in the country. And it
is it is a complete violation of any constitutional position that
any liberal or any conservative should believe in. The
Constitution clearly states that allocations and appropriations
are the job of cotton.
Oh, God, I love all these constitutional scholars who
really don't know what else here it is Obama 2009 National
Emergency with respect to the 2009 h one and one influenza
pandemic, which was never terminated, by the way. And I
actually was reading I was reading Bush's stuff, Obama has
some really good ones. So that was the first was the swine flu,
then it was Somalia, Libya. Then Oh, and here's the here's the
one that Trump is using blocking property of transnational crime
organizations. And that has been continued. Then we go to Yemen.
Then we go to Oh, interesting. 2012 blocking property of the
government of the Russian Federation relating to the
disposition of highly enriched uranium extracted from nuclear
weapons, which was revoked in 2015. Just in time for them to
do that Iranian one deal Then we have Ukraine, then we got South
Sudan, then we got Central African Republic. I don't
remember that one. Then we have Venezuela, which started in
2015, blocking property and suspending entry of certain
persons contributing to the situation in Venezuela. And
2015, blocking the property of certain persons engaging in
significant malicious cyber enabled activities. And the last
one he did was Burundi. So no, this has been used a lot. It's
just never for Mexico apparently. Or not, at least not
specifically. And it's still isn't used specifically for that
it's for the transnational crime, for drugs and human
trafficking. And that's, you know, it's it's a big
distraction. Everyone's running around, see what it says this
might be Fox, let me see what they were saying. Constitution
or the Constitution, the
Constitution provides that Congress can legislate on on
these types of issues, and they have issued in 1976, the
national emergencies Act, there is nothing in that act that
would say that these two signing this bill as well as declaring a
national emergency act. And let me remind you that the President
has declared the National Emergency under current law
before he is signing the new bill. So ex post facto in the
Constitution would dictate this national emergency was declared
under previous law, not the new bill, he could.
Oh, that was pretty good. Actually. That might have been
Fox. Yeah. And MSNBC, you know, there was some Jim Acosta and it
was actually kind of sad. I didn't clip it just made me sad.
He had the angel moms and Angel families, which I have to say, I
find this, this use of gold stars and angels for parents of
children who have died, either is serving in our military, or
for any other reason. It irks me, and I'm not gonna can't
really put my finger up until you're Goldstar Mom, no, your
sets, the whole thing is sad, but then they get a labeled gold
star. You know, we're next we'll have diamond moms, I know, what
else are we gonna have for the next group of people whose
children are a die? Anyway, so he had the he had those. He had
those parents there. And then Jim Acosta standing up and
saying, Well, you know, crime is down. And as you know, and then
there was that old one where, you know, people who are born
here commit more crime than illegal immigrants. Yeah.
Bunch of criminals. And, and then days for the insult, Jim.
And
Trump said, Hey, once you Mom stand up and look at him, it was
really uncomfortable. Yeah, it was it felt. On one hand, it
felt abusive. On the other hand, you know, yes, go there and show
that what happened to you? And I guess what he should have is
what the president should have said is, you know, if it was
your kid Acosta, how much is that worth 1 billion, 5 billion,
8 billion, would you care if was your kid with but the president
never does that?
What's that the President doesn't do even if the President
could do that, that's kind of you know, not
what his style is having these moms stand up is,
that's fantastic, too. But I think the better way he could
have done this whole thing, and he should have been doing it
this way. The whole time. I don't get white has in white.
He's got advisors. And we talked about it before. Pull up those
old clips of Nancy and Feinstein and everybody in between going
on and on and on in the past about how we need a wall. And do
what Ross Perot used to do a show examples.
Right. But in this case, when you're declaring the emergency
that has no bearing on the emergency,
now saying this should have been much earlier.
Anyway, MSNBC, this is a clip to keep an evergreen, they did
confirm the actual statistic of crime of illegal immigrants
versus citizens.
And Julia, before we let you go here, as you and I were
listening to this, you report on the Department of Homeland
Security. There's nobody perhaps that our network who knows some
of these facts and stats better than you there was a striking
moment during that news conference, when the President
got into a back and forth with the reporter about whether or
not he believed his own administration's statistics when
it came to issues of immigration and you've
been listening. Yeah, so I've got a lot of these statistics
right here. So let's just look at what the reality is there. It
is true that more crimes are committed by non US citizens
than by US citizens. That data was all taken out of Texas.
That's one of the only states that actually breaks it down
between immigrants and non immigrants, but that is exact
based on that. Oh, okay.
How inconvenient doesn't fit in with everything everyone's
saying how
inconvenient thanks MSNBC, we always appreciate your fact
checking.
Well, this was Democracy Now it covers this thing. Because they
hate it of course, and they got a clip. two clips but the one
start with this rundown of Thursday budget vote,
both the House and Senate passed the measure Thursday that came
out of the bipartisan conference committee earlier this week. The
bill includes nearly $1.4 billion to build 55 miles of new
border barriers out of steel, far less than the $5.7 billion
requested by President Trump. Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell took to the Senate floor Thursday to announce
President Trump's decision to sign the spending bill, as some
had speculated and many Democrats feared McConnell
confirmed Trump's plan to declare a national emergency and
attempt to circumvent Congress for his $5.7 billion in border
wall funding.
I've just had an opportunity to speak with President Trump. And
he I would say to all my colleagues has indicated he's
prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national
emergency declaration at the same time. And I've indicated to
him that I'm going to prepare I've got to support the national
emergency declaration. So for all of my colleagues, the
President will sign the bill. We'll be voting on it shortly.
McConnell's vow, it's 20.
What happened to it? Did she choke?
she choked right there. You heard it? Yeah. I'll sign the
bill. We'll be voting on it shortly.
McConnell's vow of support came despite reports that he warned
Trump against the move saying it could split the Republican Party
and prompt a resolution disapproving the emergency
declaration. Democrats quickly condemned the news. This is how
Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Did I say I was filing a legal challenge. He said Democrats I
may that's an option. And we'll review our options. But it's
important to know that when the President declares this
emergency, first of all, it's not an emergency. What's
happening at the border humanitarian challenge to us,
the President has tried to sell a bill of goods symmetrically.
But putting that aside, just in terms of the President making an
end run around Congress.
Trump is set to speak this morning at 10am. If he declares
a national emergency, the consumer rights nonprofit public
citizen is valid legal action against him saying the move,
quote will constitute an outrageous abuse of power,
perhaps the most dangerous yet by the unstable and increasingly
autocratic, President Trump most
dangerous yet.
Yeah, they have this guy come on, who runs this operation to
public, whatever it's called. And I just think he tries to
coin a new way of describing the wall. And this is part two, this
is kind of interesting, see if you can catch this.
So explain what this national emergency resolution would do?
Well, we
don't know. And we're not going to know until the president
acts. But it seems those what he's going to claim is that
there is a national emergency at the border. And that therefore
he can move money around. That has not been appropriated for
the purposes of building the racist wall, to in fact, there
is a legal structure in place for what for how to declare an
emergency and the President does have authority under other laws
to move money around if in fact, there is a national emergency
that we're going to sue again based on what he does, but
challenging the idea there's an emergency, and also challenging
whether the way he's mute moving the money is legal under the
statutes that exist. But the real big issue is going to be
whether people turn out in droves to protest this and say,
not only do we not want a wall, but we don't want the president
declaring emergencies to get around the will of Congress, if
this President is able to declare an emergency to build a
wall around a fictitious claim of urgency against the express
interest of the expressing intent of Congress, there's
really no limit to what he might do in the future with an
emergency declaration.
So if you're white, and you climb the wall, it's okay.
Because the wall was on your side. Yeah. Racism racist wall,
you should have stuck with that moniker because he dubbed it a
couple of times, three times laced all that's different, you
know,
what Nancy Pelosi has done, and you know, because she's trying
to follow with this meme of somehow, hey, we're number one
in the Constitution, it's all about us first, and we only we
can appropriate the money. And she sent around a spreadsheet
with about 400 different entries of pieces of money that will now
no longer go to, of course funding our men and women who
fight so bravely for us. And I like some maintenance issue for
the F 35, which I don't think is in full service as like some of
that's being used. And so they're trying to this this is
not a winning strategy. Don't think people care about about it
this way like oh, well it was supposed to go to to you know,
one screw the Joint Strike Fighter now, so I think she just
gave it up last. Let it go.
Well, I had I have one last clip which segues into something else
she want to talk more about. I
have I have one fun a clip from Menendez, though simply that,
yes, Senator Bob Menendez, Democrat from New Jersey, he
seemed to when this came down and he was being interviewed,
and he just went off his rocker,
the deputy director of ice says, a cap on beds, in his words
would be, quote, extremely damaging to the public safety of
this country. How do you respond, the reason that they
are already 8000 over their budgeted amounts or they're
violating the budget is because of the President's zero
tolerance policy that has turned everyone regardless of their
record, into a criminal. For example, if you crossed the
border, undocumented, he has now made you a criminal. He is
creating that problem by turning people away who legitimately
seek asylum. If a person has a driving while under the
influence violation, he is now making that saying that that's a
criminal.
What we have,
and that's just outrageous, these are not the norms that we
stand for in
in the past, under, for example, President Obama.
Yeah, he's saying he's not if you
realize not a criminal.
He's saying if you're illegally here and you get caught or
driving under the influence now your criminal he's making you a
criminal. Orange Man, bad. What am I gonna do? Yeah, that's,
that's what he's saying. I know. It's jaw dropping.
CNN, can you do?
CNN this is this is a Senator, this is Senator from New Jersey.
He's, yeah. All right. All right. So I have the I got a
thing. I want to segue into something else, which is a
little educational. We do this on the show once in a while. And
I thought it would be a good time to do this because it crops
up on a PBS report about the wall with the Alcindor, a woman
that went who replaced kind of replaced Eifler. She doesn't
have the chops, and her
name is Alcindor. That's her name. Some yummy she because it
almost sounds like a think tank when you say the oil sindoor
woman and like what think tank is that? Let's here's her name.
Okay, got
it. So this is the huge play, this is wall money X PBS. Okay,
I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn't
need to do this. But I'd rather do it much faster. We had
certain funds that are being used at the discretion of
generals at the discretion of the military. Some of them
haven't been allocated yet. And some of the generals think that
this is more important. I was speaking to a couple of them,
they think this is far more important than what they were
going to use it for. I said, What were you going to use it
for? And I won't go into details but didn't sound too important
to me.
So you may be hearing that where exactly is the President pulling
this money from?
Well, the President is saying that I know best how to use this
these military funds to keep Americans safe. So I want to
walk you through where he's getting the $8 billion that he's
going to initially be using to to fund a wall on the southern
border. He's going to be getting $1.375 billion from the
Congressional deal that Congress passed this week to avert a
government shutdown. He's going to be getting $600 million from
the Department of Treasury forfeiture fund. That's money
that that it's gotten from seized and forfeited assets.
It's also he's also going to be getting $2.5 billion from the
Department of Defense, counter drug activities. That's drugs.
She's, she's her money. He's also gonna be using $3.6 billion
from military construction money and that's Defense Fund money.
That's also from the Department of Defense. And all of this is
to fund an initial 234 miles of wall on the southern border. The
White House stressed today that this is just the beginning. They
could ask for more money next.
Act said they could ask for more. Yeah, they have the ISO of
it. If you want to hear it again. Just yeah.
could ask for more money.
Oh, geez. You know, I heard Jordan Peterson the other day.
So anyways, that's it, Professor. Now. Okay, well,
I had the Navy X thing, but it caught my attention because of
what she said earlier I said perked me up when she said got
in got an axe. So she's very unprofessional. For at this
level of broadcasting. I'm just going to put it maybe I mean, no
one wants to say anything about the woman because she's, you
know, black, but she's unprofessional. And she also is
involved with all kinds of political stuff. She's given
speeches, a lot of rallies and things like that she shouldn't
be out there like that at all. But to give her the benefit of
the doubt on x, which I think is not a broadcast with
broadcasters should accept the use of the use of that word that
way, but it's legit. What now I have I have a look long thing.
This is three minutes, but it's very educational. This is the
NPR lecture on x versus our oh
my god, okay, how Hold on a second. So several years ago, we
started identifying this popping up amongst white millennials.
When it came from urban America, let me ask you something. Yo,
bro, let me ask you some, mainly black but it traveled all over
but I would say really mainly urban blacks and you know, of
course that carried on to, you know people in the mainstream
like Jay Z and you know a lot of the hip hoppers all say x and
you hear it in award shows women and you see it on television,
and and now you're going to tell me I guess it's okay, well,
well, no,
wait. I'm not gonna say it's okay. And I think it's okay. And
the broadcast since that's for sure. It should not be on a news
show. But in fact, it's okay
about the word ask. It's not uncommon to hear that word
pronounced acts too many. That's a mispronunciation.
But can I just guess, can I kind of just guess?
I'm going to guess that you're guessing. Well, I'm
gonna guess what this what this clip is about. Could this clip
be about? The sad fact that many people are dyslexic and go
untreated? No, no, no. Your
peers Shereen? Marisol Morarji reports. X is as old as English
itself.
X has gotten a bad rap. If you say x, it's often assumed you're
poor. You're black. You're uneducated. New York City's
first African American Schools Chancellor put the word on his
list of speech demons to be eradicated.
It's the most noticeable term in African American isms.
That's Gerard McClendon, education professor and the
author of x or ask
the African American guide to better English.
McClendon says his parents taught him there's a time and a
place to use x because they were well aware of its stigma.
When you're with your little friend, you can speak anywhere
you want to speak. All right? Well, the minute you get in a
spelling bee or in a job interview, switch it up quick.
I've taught my children to do that as well.
If it happens four times in a sentence. Probably gonna get two
axes. Two asks
sketch comedy duo Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele joke that
because they're mixed race, they're constantly switching
back and forth from x to x. Yeah. When a cop comes up to you
def you got four asks and that says that you're gonna go for
it. Away officer ask or whatever you want to ask me. I'm more
than happy to answer. Officer.
Is that the only question you wanted to access?
I'm Jessie sheidlower on the president of the American
dialect society. I believe I'm here to talk about the
historical pronunciation of x for Ask
sheidlower says X has been used since the eighth century and
derives from the Old English verb X in the people
who use the X pronunciation are using the pronunciation that has
been handed down in an unbroken form for 1000 years. It is not a
new thing. It is not a mistake. It is a regular feature of
English,
Chaucer used x. It's in the first complete English
translation of the Bible, the Coverdale Bible,
x and it shall be given. So at that point, it wasn't a mark of
people who weren't highly educated or people who were in
the working class
that Stanford linguist John rickford rickford says it's hard
to pinpoint why X stopped being popular but stayed put in the
American South and the Caribbean, where he's originally
from
over time, it became a kind of marker of identity.
Indians in South Africa use x black Caribbean's use x African
Americans use x rickford says it's the Empire striking back
taking language that has been imposed and making it your own.
I don't think
any linguist at least is advocating that you get rid of
your vernacular because you need it in a sense for your soul.
rickford says there's nothing technically wrong with X but he
adds linguistic versatility is ideal, interchanging X and asked
depending on the setting, code switching, he says few know
about axes, Chaucerian routes, so take key and peels advice.
When getting pulled
over for no way officer ask or whatever you want to ask me. I'm
more than happy to answer. Officer
Shri mighty Sol Mirage NPR news, huh?
Well, this is interesting.
Yes, the black urban experience apparently is just seryan
Chosse Aryan from Chaucer.
That's where he used the X all the time.
Hmm. Well, so what this does is it says that old old old uses of
words are old YuYi old use of words are can be considered
valid. So if I can say hey, that's gay, then that will be
okay. Because I just mean it's happy and funny in etc. If it
was happy and funny if it was happy and funny. I don't know
about this man. And by the way, the white that so this is an
interesting example because So while you may have a black
driver say ask away officer and then maybe accidentally say
anything else you want to x, the white driver would say, yes,
anything you want ossifer see they have their own issues
ossifer white guys, they all suffer when they
Cherian to,
yes, well this brings me to the islands since it came up.
Because by the way, that was good John, I'm still gonna say
ask if you don't mind and I was still chastise anyone for saying
x is reasonable. I don't think it's, it's certainly in
broadcast. Let's put it that way. Yeah. That's the walkway.
We had this clip of April Ryan and Don Lemon arguing about the
blackness of camo camo. Kamala Harris is back to Kemal I guess.
Oh, Kamali, comme la Kamal Mala. About you say Comala. I say
Kumala.
Now, as you know, I've stayed it's a it's, it's fine. She's
Brown, she's black, whatever. But she's not African American.
Because she was although she was born here she was raised in in
Ottawa. Her father is from Jamaica, her mother is from
India. She's a Tamil. So she really does not have African
American blood in her and this book and Don Lemon takes my side
of the argument. Oddly enough, April Ryan trips out about it
and starts to bring in all kinds of stuff about Jamaican slavery
review of that clip.
Let me let me let me finish Hold on, I'm not falling into a trap
by that when when when she goes down her lineage many Africans
landed on in Jamaica and all these other Caribbean arms so
she could indeed make us not American, mixed with others, but
she's not American, but she is a black woman. Jim Crow. Now,
I got to first I got a note from Sir Johnny B. Who says, Excuse
me, the history of slavery and oppression is just as long in
Jamaica as it and bloody as it is us after the populace rose up
and claimed independence that people are kept down by leaders
who were in bed with the economic hitman. F Don Lemon
hardship is I write on the flag in Jamaica. Gold recalls the
shining sun black reflects hardships and green represents
the land. The flag colors are gold green and black the
Rastafari and flag as red for the bloodshed. This guy is an
ignorant aihole. And well, that's true wasn't really on
topic until I received this just this morning. It is a chapter it
may be the whole may just be an essay. I don't know if it's a I
think it's from a book. The title of the book is reflections
of a Jamaican father. Does this remind you of anything?
Yeah, it sounds like Obama's book reflects Yes,
reflections of a Jamaican father by Donald J. Harris. This is
Kamala dad. Now if this if we were in on a mainstream news
program, this might actually be some pretty big news. What I'm
going to read to you do not expect to hear this anywhere.
But here. I will read only two paragraphs. As a child growing
up in Jamaica, I often heard it said by my parents and family
and friends, a member we come from. To this day I continue to
retain the deep social awareness and strong sense of identity,
which that grassroots Jamaican philosophy fed in me as a
father, I naturally sought to develop the same sensibilities
in my two daughters born and bred in America, Kamala was the
first in line to have it planted. Maya came two years
later, and had the advantage of an older sibling as a mentor. It
is for them to say truthfully now not me What if anything of
value they carried from that early experience into adulthood?
My one big regret is that they did not come to know the very to
know very well, the two most influential women in my life,
Miss Krushi and Miss Iris. My roots you see go back within my
lifetime to my paternal grandmother, Miss Krishi name
Christiana Brown, descendent of Hamilton Brown, who was on
record as a plantation and slave owner and founder of Brownstown.
her great grandmother was a slave owner. What Kamala
Harris's great grandmother was a slave owner and plantation owner
in Jamaica and the founder of Brownstown. She her roots are
slave holders.
This is good. Give you a clip of the day
there's no there's no clip. How fantastic is this?
Oh, that's fantastic. Fantastic. And
there's even a picture a picture of her and there's a picture of
her with her with a grandma Kamala with grandma Iris
should Be Rousteing Camela from Hamilton. If she ever shows up
for a presentation yet out.
It's in the show notes. Oh, wait a minute. Actually, I should
make sure I don't have that. Oh, yeah, I got to change one thing
there. I don't want the email address exposed where I got it
from, obviously. But yeah, there you go. Kamala Harris. great
granddaughter of slave owners in Jamaica.
Yeah, that kind of summer that'll come up. Somebody's will
owe $1 bet right now. This will not become a thing. No one will
ever hear about it after this.
I'll take it. I'll make that a $10. Bet.
That's that's a little beyond my means. We're trying to buy a
house. Let's do five.
I can go find you. $1. Bill, though.
I don't you only one still that you were gonna send me Chris $1.
Bill?
Yeah, well, that's reasonable bands now. All right. All right.
There you go. That was my big reveal for the day.
That was good. That was very funny.
Isn't not funny. It's just great.
Yeah, it's Well, it's funny, too, because,
well, we'll see. We'll see how it. I mean, some of these people
out there man that like, I don't know how well you can hear this.
This is Elizabeth Warren, who was so tone deaf and color blind
to her situation, that she doesn't even have an answer
ready for a heckler. And when a heckler when you're doing a
stump speech. And you're running
stock responses you're supposed to use you
know, if someone's like, Hey, why did you lie about being
Cherokee? You should have an answer. She doesn't. She thinks
that everyone. Everyone's vetted that come to these rallies. And
so, yeah, well, here's a here's one example. I don't know how
well you can hear it, but you'll get the general idea.
I thought what we do today, I'm just so glad you're here. I
thought what we do today
is what a school teacher I thought what we did today, I
thought what we do today, I'm just so glad you're here thought
what we do today point is that I talk a little bit just kind of
introduce myself who I am a little bit of my story. Well,
we'll make this happen.
Why July keeps yelling Of course, people surround the guy
right away, but then he keeps going.
Where they're where their hold on, hold on. We'll get to watch
the policy. I absolutely promise. Okay, BC, BC. What
we'll talk about is we'll do policy and we'll do as many
questions as we possibly can.
It's like talking to a group of kindergarteners on Career Day.
No,
I think you nailed it. I never even I've always wondered what
is wrong with this woman. She'd say she talks as if she's a
school teacher introducing yourself to a new class of
fourth graders or fifth graders. Yeah. And then when they get
uppity she goes be easy. Be easy, is take it easy, Liz be
easy. She's
no she's very much like a Marm, a schoolmarm,
man. Now when I have lots of questions later,
I've got a funny we're putting together my handicapping
handicap list. Yeah, you know she's on the eBay list, but she
can
you can you even can you even use the term handicap for
anything
to be in for horses? You can't for many betting phenomenon.
It's one of those words, man. Yeah, no,
no,
possibly can. So I appreciate that you're here. What I wanted
to start with today is to tell you in the background
and notice when
he say get that idiot out of here.
Now that would be too much like Trump that will be wrong. We
have norms in this country. Norm norm have norm sitting at the
bar. Yeah, we got norms in this country. Yeah, and no other
gaffes that I found from any other
any other people.
Well, I've got a couple I get to one clip that I wanted to get
out of the way, which is do you know what's going on in Haiti
right now? It's not being much reported. Yeah, of course.
I've been following it and even producers who track Haiti for us
also have been kind of coming up empty handed other than the main
question. What happened to the hundreds of millions of dollars
the Clintons raised all the good stuff they did. The all the all
the people they put into government A baseball making
factory the basket weaving factory, the new Clinton Hotel
and Resort. What happened to all of that?
Well, this apparently they've gone come up with a scheme to
marginalize those numbers, because it seems as if Venezuela
is now the bad guy. Oh, they owe them $3 billion.
For more than a week the island nation of Haiti has been rocked
by street violence as protesters angry over soaring inflation and
government corruption have demanded the ouster of
presidential and employees. demonstrators have been blocking
roads, stoning emergency vehicles and destroying
businesses. The US State Department has raised the Travel
Warning to the country advising citizens not to travel there and
is asking all non emergency US personnel and their families to
leave. Jacqueline Charles is the Caribbean correspondent for The
Miami Herald and she joins us now from Miami explain a little
bit more about what these protests are about?
Well, these protests are basically about two issues,
corruption and the economic turmoil that is hitting hitting
currently. Let's start with the issue of corruption. Patients
today are saying that they are fed up with decades of
government corruption and they are particularly pointing to a
program that was financed by Venezuela it was a discount oil
program called petrol carry, in which Haiti received oil at a
discount price from Venezuela. They didn't have to pay it back
until over 25 years, and they received it at a 1% interest
rates. But that savings was supposed to be used for social
programs to ameliorate the situation of the population in
terms of health care, childcare, education, you name it. That was
the feeling housing after the earthquake. Well, almost 10
years after that earthquake, Haitians say they do not see
where that money has been spent. And today, they owe the country
owes Venezuela, almost $2 billion. And so for months, we
have seen patients on social media and in the country
demanding to know where is the money, where is the petrol carry
their money, the inflation rate is 15%. And the government's
deficit is at $9.6 million. And their local currency the good is
in a freefall against a strong US dollar. So today, what we've
seen is that for days now over a week, they have had this country
on lockdown, no schools, no businesses, nothing is moving.
And so where is this going? What's going to happen next?
That's what's uncertain. unclear at this moment.
is almost almost feels like, hey, we let's get rid of all the
crap. Well, we can just like if anyone uncovers Hey, Hill, yeah,
Bill, if anyone really finds out what went on in Haiti, and what
we really did there, it's going to be bad. So maybe we should
just Venezuela things. Can we blame something on Venezuela?
I get the same sense. But that is like an economic hitman
thing. Where somebody has schemed this whole thing because
I never heard any of this. And the next thing you know, and now
you apparently there are that the second half of this report
is only a little bit of the whole thing. And he and this guy
who does the Saturday, PBS NewsHour, Harry Sreenivasan is
really the best guy. They haven't they should they pushed
him out of the regular weekly show. So they could have pretty
much a bunch of amateurs in there. And this guy's really a
very, very professional character. And I like his
Saturday show a lot better than during the week. It's only a
half an hour to the News Hour and a half hour. And he does
much more in depth stuff. And his comes up with things I've
never heard of who's but they go on with this. And they have some
people that MIT people from this, you know, that live there
saying I can't even get on my house. I'm just freedom you get
shot.
Who's implicated in some of this corruption is president now on
the hook for some of the corruption that happened,
perhaps even in the administration before him?
Well, yes, this president here he was brought into power under
the banner of pH TK, that is the party of former President Michel
Martelly. And his party is very well implicated in this
corruption as well as people who are among the advisors to the
president, even the president's former chief of staff, the
President himself has been named in a report and initial report
that was issued by the government auditors in terms of
his company having received some of this funding from Venezuela.
But I have to tell you, there are real frustrations and real
anger in Haiti, especially by the young people. And when I say
young, I'm talking about individuals in their 20s 30s and
40s. Who today see no hope they see no way out. They
increasingly not believing in the ballot box. And so there's a
huge apathy when it comes to elections. And so you've seen
this that even the woman on the street is selling charcoal.
Every time something goes wrong. She's saying you know what, it's
because of Petrocaribe there. But the unfortunate reality is
today that prices have gone up there is a brewing human And
Attarian crisis hospitals are not having the supplies that
they need. And once this is all over, the question is even if
President Xi of normal use doesn't leave, will he be able
to govern? And if he does go, what is the plan at the
opposition, we have not heard anything from them in terms of
how they are going to alleviate the fundamental issue, which is
the economic crisis that the Haitian population is enduring
right now.
This is the so it's almost a replay. If you recall, Haiti had
a very odd earthquake, which only really affected Haiti,
nothing attached to Haiti. It was very shallow and immediately
the Clintons were in there everywhere, building stuff,
bringing in their buddies with cellular networks for micro
payments, creating this, this whole deepwater port for cruise
ships. It's almost like a replay just like always, we got all
kinds of stuff going on. It's gonna be horrible. We come in,
we start to fix it. There's here's a clip from 2015. This is
one of the more recent one recent ones we have about the
Clinton Clinton Foundation and Haiti,
more than $10 billion was donated internationally to help
rebuild Haiti, but much of that money is gone.
Maybe this is the problem,
only 900 homes were built. And they were not even built in the
vicinity in the area of request. To place it in the northern part
of the country. So much inconsistency so much
irregularity, as I'm talking to you right now, they are 100,000
people interesting photographs,
flooding, Harlem people raise their voices to call attention
to the missing money. This protest outside of the offices
of the Clinton Foundation, which helped lead the reconstruction
fund
these people, they are still in very difficult conditions still
living on the tents. While Bill Clinton and his cronies waste
this money.
The Foundation says progress is being made particularly in
Hades, economic and tourist industries. But many Haitian
American say contracts were awarded to non Haitian
companies. The capital's main hospital is still not fixed. And
cholera is on the rise.
Expansion is something that people live with on a daily
basis.
The suffering in Haiti continuing to dominate the
conversation five years later.
Yeah, I'm gonna do I'm going to do this week before the net
before Thursday, I'm going to get together because you have so
this used to be my beat. We studied Haiti very intently. And
it was years before the mainstream really did anything
about it almost like earthquake bad move on. And we had been
with sweet Mickey Martelli come in, which was the Clinton
stooge. And then he got kicked out and they kept trying to
bring other people in to become president. And there was $10
billion raised which clearly did not go into the economy.
No disappeared, like they said in that report in 2015. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, it's, I really don't know much else and other than it
sounds exactly just like a repeat a repeat of what was
going on then.
That's actually, if you look at the videos, it looks a lot
worse.
Well, I promise to have some, some older clips and maybe we
can start piecing this together by Thursday. But now, I'd like
to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you
the man who put the scene caller and John C.

Cory Ainsworth and Edgerton, Wisconsin 333 dot 33. This is my
first donation. I've been a listener for six months since
unfiltered ended. Though I know an unfiltered guy. Good. This
show had didn't which was the competitor this show. I wouldn't
say competitor. I think it was except the way it was done. It
was different. It was not a creditor they

invaluable in my life. So my tax return is helping me give back.
All right, you said a bird going off. And I'm hearing I don't
hear anything. You have helped my sanity in this super
polarized always political culture. Additionally, the
crackpot theories. Oh, it's birds outside my window.
Additionally, the crackpot theories pushed me to do my own
research on topics like global warming, Sonic Weapons, OTG
lifestyles, and even the moon landing. Jeez, I recently read
Dr. Ted's book. Uh huh. And Confessions of an economic
hitman. Good. Those are two good books to read. Without insights,
I'm interested in what comes of the yellow vests and the Ebola
in DRC. Thank you for all you provide. He does need to de
douching obviously.
You've been de deuced. And he
needs jobs, karma and dogs are people to
Okay. And I don't really have an answer for you on this question,
when it comes to the yellow vests and the Ebola in the DRC,
but that's what we do. We track that stuff for you. Dogs.
Jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jog. Karma.
I don't think he was asking you anything. He was just making a
rhetorical comment that he is interested in what happens,
right. And I was just saying I don't have any the answers.
Yeah, but he wasn't asking. Okay, I'm sorry. Sorry for
stepping out of bounds.
And by the way, no, but it sounds like you were lamenting
the fact No, no, he
asked me a question. I thought he asked a question.
Oh, yeah. That you thought he asked the question. No. Gretchen
Wittig 333. We should use X. ITM gents. Please de douche
this was the same thing on the last show. Yeah,
I noticed it's been way too long since I've donated please slam
my buddy Paul. We're getting a lot of this too. Please slam my
buddy Paul Wilson as a douchebag you know that you know you are
my plan is always Gretchen saying this. By the way. It's
even worse when a woman calls you out. My plan and I'm gonna
get

studies what the heck the call postal just went by going the

since I've done a please send my buddy Paul. My plan is to be a
dame by the three to meet up in Austin and I challenge you. Oh,
by the way that meet up in Des Moines location has been changed
again.
Again. It's no longer at the Hall is now moved again.
No, I think it's at the hall. That was changed in the last
time. Yeah,
no agenda meetups.com is where the accurate information can be
found.
Yeah. And apparently the guy in Des Moines keeps changing his
mind where he wants to do the thing.
I thought Mimi was in charge and told him what to do.
She's, she's not there. She's you know, the guys roaming
around town? I don't know. I have no idea. All I know she's
irked about it.
I love that. An irked Mimi is a thing to be aware of.
Three juicers, the three to meet up in Austin. I challenge you to
beat me to it Paul. I recently met a fellow listener John on a
plan to get on a plane to Memphis it says plan but I'm
gonna say plain. And I'm gonna go ahead and call him out as a
douchebag random guy just
got here's what happened. It's like I met another guy on a
plane to Memphis and Hey, that guy didn't donate either even
though he listened so douchebag that makes sense. The name would
have been funnier.
Anyway hope hoping to see you both at the meet up for jingles.
like to hear about John's aunt's love you mean it? Gretchen

An oldie but a goodie
works. Now we've got an okay, we've got Hernandez here. And
I'm looking at the email Jacob Hernandez in Kennewick
Washington 218. I see no email from Hernandez regarding this
donation so if you have something and I do have a couple
make goods to read in the second readings. Okay, Alexander. I
want anyways to 18 from Kennewick Washington, Alexander
soles burger to 18 in Delaware or days in Deutschland. Oh no.
This is our German producer from Ghana and who is who did send
something in my mail I printed it out let's see if I have it.
Was the printer printouts though seem to have disappeared so I
will go to the e mail appropriately. Souls burger
we're going to the squirrel mail people step back squirrel mail
into house when you define an email for donations, squirrel
mail has excellent question Hold on You gotta wait for this we
gotta wait this. He's gonna find it. He will he find it when he
find the donation email. He may find it in his
I Tim crackpot and buzzkill after the recent email reply
from John I need to take this to 18 promo producer ship offer in
the newsletter he becomes an executive producer. We did have
a special offer for anyone who had donated $218 to become
executive producers in this show. This offer ends tonight or
tomorrow night and We're on it. No, it ends in 19 Sorry, Tuesday
night, offering a newsletter and to ask for a D douching. Okay.
You've been D deuced.
That's been too long since I last donate and now you have a
reason for this. I want to interject myself and say the
reason he hasn't donated is because one of our lib Joe
buddies, Greg had gone to Africa and told disease the night here
Alexander is told me why are you donating to the no agenda show?
Ah,
wait a minute. Wait. They had met each other
don't have any friends. A lib Joe. Alright.
Let's just back this up. He was in Africa. Yeah. And he met you
one of your lib Joe journalists. There was the lib Joe on
vacation was he on assignment?
I live Joe's an African African knowledge just Ah, he's all
afro. He's goes to Africa all the time. He's married to an
African woman. I know two guys like this. And they go to Africa
all the time. And to get brings art back. He's got a house full
of probably a million dollars worth of African art.
That that New York Times does pays pretty well. I guess
he was never the New York Times. He's the professor. He was gonna
go to the New York Times, but his other the other lip, Joe
pal? I think. Personally, there's just a guess I'm not
gonna accuse anybody. I think he killed he created the deal.
He undermined him a backdoor and undermined.
This is my guess. Well, anyway, but this serves him right
because he goes to Africa and tells this guy not to donate to
the show. So he doesn't for a year they now he needs a D
douching. Because he's back on board. Okay. Anyway, so I'll
continue from there. Right. It's been so so it's been long since
I've donated so long since it also I asked for karma for my
new my newborn human resource. Nadine, who was born on February
12. So give her some karma. John, say hi to the to the to
the mutual lib Joe friend and university professor. I will
Adam congratulations on your upcoming marriage may the third
time be the charm. Thanks. You do not to say that
it's not a nice thing to say. But thanks anyway.
Hey, go for five. No, guys, no homo, Mr. DSC. Well, he's one of
your old listeners. So that probably is appropriate then.
He's are a German producer in Ghana, Ghana,
y'all. Dunker, Alexander.
So it gives some time. All right. You gave the D douchey.
So give it a little karma to the newborn.
Newborn karma.
Karma.
Anyway luckily, none of these guys listened to the show.
Except SoulsBorne.
The lip Joes and they know their take. I want to be ringing off
your hook.
The Harris story that you brought up with from just a
quote from the book that it would blow anyone's brains up.
Oh, we have a number of people that took the 218 offer
including some Bode, and Jacob and Alexander and now Jonathan
Greenlee $218. These are all been promoted to executive
producer.
i That's right. That was your special one. You know, I have to
say, and I understand why but I kind of miss your funny. Funny
pictures.
Well, here's, I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna use I'm gonna have to
cut the funny pictures down to next to nothing. That's why I
only ran one humorous photo. Yeah. The funny pictures at the
end of the newsletter. I've tried traced it down are largely
responsible for his newsletter being sent to spam. Yeah,
I was. I was afraid of that. That's too bad, isn't it?
Thanks, Google.
Yeah, thanks, Google. We should really just have a rule.
Do you want to subscribe to the newsletter if you just can't do
it with a Gmail address?
Well, if I do the stats on it, it's about 75 to 80% of all of
the no agenda listeners have a Gmail
which is why you probably shouldn't listen to my advice in
the meeting.
All right, back to Jonathan Greenlee to 18 Drunk donation
jingles Reverend Manning? Plus Mac again brandom Plus mac and
cheese plus AOC Don't eat me Hillary. Oh, now to see don't

Jeffrey fields in San Marcos, Texas to earn $18 Now he I
looked to see if he has any since men and he has been in the
past and his notes in the email are amazing. I got a list of He
just wants
to possess one he just got took advantage of the 218 and will
become an executive producer, executive executive producer.
Yeah. Another guy who didn't send a note that appears. Let me
just look him up real quick.
Why wasn't there someone who sent war and peace? Oh, that's
later. Yeah, no, no, I'm just I know there was some very long
donation No, but it's not this one. Okay.
No, Riley, I don't have anything from him either. Loomis. This is
Richard Riley. 218. Now down to the last donation is Dave Dee
Dee Dee Clegg. And she wrote a she wrote a card send a card in
with her horse Monty on the cover. Well, it might not be her
horse. It's a cartoon. Dear John and Adam. She has very she
doesn't write in. In cursive, but she's got just a fabulous
looking me. Writing it looks like it looks like a font on his
not. Dear John and Adam, I think thank you for all you do. I have
no doubt that no agenda has kept me from losing my mind. I am
grateful. I am Mrs. John Clegg of Sunset Beach. And I know John
has donated to the show. I have not yet until now. I would like
to be deduced. Got it.
You've been de deuced.
I would also like to ask that this donation go towards John's
knighthood. And I'd like to thank him for all of the hard
work to keep us afloat, created a job for himself and works
every day. I'm also thankful for all the extra things he finds
time to do. He's the best. Thanks again, John and Adam D.
Clegg. There was a sweet note here. And as we like to see,
that concludes our list of associated executive producers
for show
13 Yeah, so
we thank these folks for helping keeping this thing going. So
the way I read the rules of donation for this particular
episode, we have a nice list of executive producers and Dee
Clegg will be our one Associate Executive Producer. As the 218
special combo deal. Got you an exec producer ship for this show
in the show only. Yeah. All right. Fantastic. Well, we
congratulate does expire on the 19th. So it's still possible
to still send in okay, if people still executive
producer ship for the next show. 2011 14 Excellent. Possible.
Excellent. Well, thank you to our executive producers and our
soul Associate Executive Producer. It's the way our value
for value network works. It's how that's how, you know, you
should look at what this show does for you. What is it worth
to you, you send that into us and of story. Some people just
do crazy things for the show. I got it. I got a map of our
11 1111 Super karma geocoin Oh, yeah. Holy crap. This thing is
traveled like what 100,000 miles? No, not 100,000 is
going to people grab it and then they go to Europe to go to
Africa put
it in the show notes. So this geocoin has gone from America to
South America to Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan. Looks like
India is on there. Different Scandinavia
book got a hold of it. Some spook is now off the coast of
Venezuela.
It went well the spook apparently came from looks like
Scandinavia in the spook that took it down to to Venice. So
it's in Venezuela it's it's it's a part of the maybe it's an
economic hitman type deal where they just keep Hey, follow the
coin
could be quick and now be part of some code.
We got to keep our eye on this. You can find that there was a
geocaching.com I'll put it in the show notes. But again, thank
you for supporting the show. As you can see, it can be done in
many different Ways, and we'll be thanking more people $50 and
above in our second segment, and remember, we have another show
coming up on Thursday for you, you can support the work at VO
rec.org/and. A, what we call this as a formula. We'd like you
to go out there and propagate it.
Our formula is this. We go out people in the mouth
I've been looking at this 5g stuff, who? Yeah, number of
different ways. And we're looking at the 5g, just trying
to track whatever's going on whatever developments and it's
you know, it's very under documented in general, and
people really don't understand much about what's happening. And
so there's a lot of PR, and you can call it promotion. You can
call it misinformation, disinformation, a lot of
different things. But there's one of our producers caught this
huge native advertising Compendium on the hill.com. What
is the is the hill? This is that hip political the hill? Yeah,
it's the hills referring to the right but are they are they
right leaning left leaning? What are they? They're
they're they're slightly left wing wing, but not like the WaPo
or a political might be a little more centrist?
Well, they have created probably 25 different video that I can
almost call them little shows, because some of them are 10
minutes. Some of them are an hour. And it's a created these
are these native advertising, native advertising. It's
sponsored. It's presented by Qualcomm, it's all about 5g chip
maker. It's all about Qualcomm are the guys there. You know,
they're the big guys 5g They are they truly are getting 5g out
there. So they paid the hill to have all kinds of fun, cutesy
little videos. And I'm just going to play two of them. But I
think I may have to bring out more in the future that just
that good. And and you'll hear at the very end of this first
clip with the Pittsburgh mayor, and he's trying to explain what
smart cities are and what 5g supports. I know I haven't you
what does it mean to you, John 5g will bring us smart cities.
This
means to me what smart city The way I see it, especially let's
look at San Francisco, is that when you're some homeless person
on the street, and you're gonna take a dump on the sidewalk,
that five Jesus and we'll see that and open up a hole for the
dunk and go into and then close it up after you're done.
You know, it could be done with 5g. It's such a great
technology, it totally could happen. You'll hear at the end,
you'll hear the host the so called interviewer. Well, I want
to get your opinion on but I've done I've done my fair share of
bullcrap videos where you're asking someone a question, it's
a paid environment, you're paid to ask the question. He's paid
to answer the question whether he's the mayor or not. He has
something to say. And it's just you're just asking the question
for form. You know, it's not you're not having a
conversation. And after you great, great take, it was great.
Fantastic. Good job. Mayor. Did you hear that at the end of this
just to accentuate how farmers safety? One more for safety,
everybody. That's just for us. So here's the Pittsburgh mayor,
citing the need to be inclusive. When considering 5g Smart
Cities, which takes your idea to a whole next level? What
does it mean to be a smart city in modern terms, a lot of
different definitions for the first part of smart as being
inclusive, and understanding that if we're only mining the
data for some that we're creating a larger digital
divide. The second
I like how, yeah, oh, yeah. If we're only mining the data for a
few, why are you mining my data at all? And that comes as to
your point. Okay, we have some data on this guy. He's been
pooping every day at 8:05am. Right in this spot. That's where
we had to get to have the whole open up. So smart cities and
this mayor who is on board with the program, whatever incentive
he's receiving, he's gonna get a smart city. Damn, it's like
yeah, we're gonna be data mining, everybody will know
exactly. He was doing his grind.
And understanding that if we're only mining the data for some
that we're creating a larger digital divide. The second is
not allowing the
stop it again, isn't the dive obviously not going to get
through this thing.
It's only 24 seconds. That's the best.
So let me get this straight. So what he's saying is that somehow
because somebody's data mined, and somebody else isn't data
mined, this is creating a larger digital divide. Now digital
divide is is understand it, is the fact that some people have
better access and more computing power. And we even have home
computing and all kinds of things that others don't have,
because they can't afford it, or whatever. Well, there's
minorities are using this, even though they all have
smartphones, it's not the same. What's that got to do it? What
is it got to do with data mining? Anybody? Well, I
think you can interpret what he's saying, in a different
manner, where he's saying, if we're only data mining for the
benefit of privileged
benefit, yeah, he didn't say he doesn't say it. He doesn't say
data mined to spy on you? Well, it's to benefit someone
somewhere
in understanding that if we're only mining the data for some
that we're creating a larger digital divide. The second is
not allowing, by
the way, your point is well made. He's just it's just
diarrhea of the mouth. And he's just there. He's just talking
because he just wants it whatever it is, he wants
Qualcomm to give it to him cheap AI.
The second is not allowing the different industries to silo or
harvest the data simply for their own profits, but for the
greater good. And the third is to understand that it's a system
of systems, all that information has a way to base a system of
systems is slick some
system. So let me say, well, system systems, a system of
systems is a system of systems.
He's clearly knows what he's talking about. Oh, brother. So I
do like that. 5g is just granted as a given. It's for data
mining, hey, but I want to make sure that not just commercial
companies get to spy on what you're doing. I don't want that
to happen. We need the government needs that
two different industries to silo or harvest the data simply for
their own profits, but for the greater good. And the third is
to understand that it's a system of systems, all that information
has a way to be able to be helpful in solving problems, if
you're able to pull it together, and then be able to have some
really creative people outside of government and inside of
government, looking at ways to be able to utilize it. Great.
Great, great job. Great take. Great, great, great take man.
Good, good work, Mayor. So now again, this is this is all
sponsored by Qualcomm. So the the questions and answers
behoove them, and I don't blame the mayor for being shields
would mayor's do. But clearly, this is all about surveillance
surveillance for for profit, and yeah, maybe we'll get some
benefit out of understanding traffic flows. But now, the
second clip I have is an old friend of ours, more of yours
than mine. You have to wonder Where do the tech journalists go
when they can't eat? Where do they go when they can't eat?
Healthy can podcasters
well, some become podcasters and others will sell out to take
their technology. Chops, chops. Credibility is the word I was
looking for. Okay, credibility, and then we'll sell out to
basically just the highest bidder, although this was
probably pretty low. Do we remember Sarah Lacy?
Oh, she's in here. Sarah Lacy. And
now tell us about what were Sarah Lacy. Was she on Twitter?
Where was she? She
had a different spin around. I mean, I had her on my cranky
geek show a few times. She is a she's written a couple books.
She's kind of become a Uber feminist. And she is. She was at
Businessweek. And then she became an independent she did
Pendo daily
for years. Pendo daily. Yes, she was with.
She had a couple of J. She had Mark Ames and Paul Carr.
tremendously talented guys.
And didn't she wind up with Paul Carson. She with him now or she
dumped him already?
I don't know. I don't keep up with that. But But let me just
say that she I don't know what happened. But she was so she was
funded by a lot of VCs and she's been kind of hanging out with
them. And she's moved on to something called Sherman mom.
And now as some
Well, this is a sidekick. This is her side hustle because this
is from January. You know anything
about that she was doing this side
hustle, side hustle. I call her a tech to toot.
Well she shouldn't do this. She's a tech to
toot of the highest order.
virtual reality and augmented reality are two things that
virtually everyone seems to agree or futuristic fascinating
and just really cool. At the same time AR and VR haven't
really gone mainstream. Despite all of the excitement and
demand. So far, both AR and VR have been held back for a lack
of accessibility, viability and capacity. With 5g we finally
have the technology to capitalize on the full potential
of AR and VR for everyone. If you're a sports fan, 5g is going
to empower some game changing shifts 5g and able to remote
production will make it possible to broadcast from anywhere
without a satellite truck or a supporting on site team, not a
sports fan, not a problem. AR technology has the potential to
supply the same access and experience for all the live
events. We love 5g technology is going to empower our remote
controls. So they feel less like remotes and more like extensions
of ourselves. After all, the future isn't in pressing
buttons. It's in being the button. Yeah, abilities are
limitless. And this is boundless. It's not
about pressing the button ladies and gentlemen. The button thank
you, Sarah Lacy. Without you. I wouldn't have known I can be the
button or she is it button button.
She said Button. Button. I don't think she said button. No, but
it should be button. Well, sad, isn't it? It's I feel bad about
this. I have to say though your presentation was very
professional. So there's nothing wrong with the way she did it?
No, of course not to do that kind of thing. You must just do
that. Nothing else.
Yeah, I'm thinking you probably didn't even get paid enough for
it. I mean, that's really putting your credibility on the
line.
I would you
know, I would guess. Oh, by the way,
it asked me in a heartbeat in a heartbeat.
Hey, 5g, baby.
I would guess she got I would say that you shouldn't do
anything like that for less than $10,000. And I'm guessing
she got five. Yeah, that's what I think she'd probably be fine.
She
got five.
Here's a promotional idea. I was just thinking, you know, for 5g,
you could have an actual foam hand.
And then watch it melt. You know, 1231234555?
Fingers five big five? No, that's good. Five, foam Five
Finger 5g.
5g. But yeah. Anyway, it
does seem that there's this some issues with the with the FCC.
It's about and they've really tried to ramrod this down or
really RAM this down the throats of all the municipalities. And
the mayors are like, you know, if I have you guys, you're
forced to do this. You have to give them, let them put it up,
put up little transmitters? And, you know, the timeline. It's
just it's it's being ramrodded. It really is. But I'm not
necessarily against it. Because I think it is the only the only
thing left for us to grow. I don't see any other out. I had
the President mentioned this. Yes. It's more based on
something that you and I have been talking about in kind of on
the sideline over the course of a couple of weeks about this
idea of growth. And that's really the struggle right now is
for the West, the Western financial world to find, where
can we grow? Where Where can we make it happen? I think climate
change was was the initial idea. And that's where all the money
would go to print money really, to grow economies and grow
sectors. the.com bubble was it was a version of that. y2k. If
we go back, what have we had outside of climate change? What
are their initiatives have we had?
No, I think you summarized most of them.
But 5g seems to be the big one. It encompasses everything. It's
bullshit, but it
is hiccuping. And it's bleeding. And global warming is still in
play. And you can't have too many of these things going on at
the same time.
I have a piece from that rose garden speech from Trump, where
he specifically talks about the growth and how he's got to get
to that. And it's just I just want to add it as a one minute
data point for us.
Let me also ask you about the debt, sir, because it's gone
from a shade under 20 trillion from when you took office. Now
it's a shade over 22 trillion and heading in the wrong
direction. What are your plans to reverse? No, it's
all about growth. But before I really focus on that, and you
have to remember, President Obama put on more debt on this
country than every president in the history of our country
combined. So when I took over, we had one man that put on more
debt than every other president combined. Combine them all. So
you can't be talking about that. But I talk about it because I
consider it very important. But first, I have to straighten out
the military. The military was depleted. And if we don't have a
strong military that hopefully we won't have to use because
it's strong. If we don't have a strong military, you don't have
to worry about debt. You have bigger problems, so
you get plenty of money.
What did you say? Audit
the Defense Department. You'll Get plenty of money. Yeah, but
we're talking about growth here.
If we don't have a strong military, you don't have to
worry about debt, you have bigger problems. So I have to
straighten out the military. That's why I did the 707 16
billion. But growth will straighten out, you saw last
month.
Listen to what he's saying. Because he comes across as an
idiot. I'm trying to read into the words, I think I'm hearing
something different than what you just heard. Because here's
him Yeah, audit the audit the Pentagon. He's talking about.
He's, I think what he's saying is I'm pumping this money in,
and that will create growth through I guess, the the war
sector. That's what I'm hearing him say, Okay, now, it's like I
did this. I did that for gross, I
believe Marxist, in fact, that the way you stabilize an economy
is to do a war, do a war economy, and then you can just
throw money at, you know, just everyone has to go to work,
because most of the things that you're manufacturing are getting
exploded. Yes.
And if we don't have a strong military that hopefully we won't
have to use, because it's strong. If we don't have a
strong military, you don't have to worry about debt, you have
bigger problems. So I have to straighten out the military.
That's why I did the 707 16 billion. But growth will
straighten out. You saw last month, the trade deficit went
way down. Everybody said what happened? Well, what's happening
is growth. But before I can focus too much on that a very
big expense is military. And we have no choice but to straighten
out his growth. The only answer sir is Yes, ma'am. Go ahead.
Growth. I don't know it's a data point. We got to just listen for
it coming up in the future. What does he think growth is the war
economy because he's on path then he is a part of the let's
go get Iran bullshit that's happening right now. Maybe he is
he could rise me What's Bolton doing in the in the in in the
White House?
Well, I think he's there because he has the goods on Trump about
all their the weird sex stuff they did together. But maybe
Trump wants the Neo cons in be very disappointing.
Yep, yeah. Well, it was the same thing with Obama Don't you
remember when Obama ran it was two things we're gonna get out
of Iraq immediately. And we're the first thing I could do you
can take it to the bank we're going to shut down get close get
me did neither one of those things. You get in office and
you find out you're not running into place.
Yeah. Turns out the other guys are
you know, they're all set up. The whole thing is, you know,
just a facade. And you've got you know, in the course they
want to get rid of Trump because he's seems to be playing not to
the he doesn't play the game they want him to play now. So
the whole thing is pathetic. Well, let's switch to another
pathetic piece of news. I although I find this quite
amusing, and this has played out quite nicely. On the news hour
with Sreenivasan Cardinal kicked part one.
I'm glad you got these
after decades of investigations and charges, Pope Francis
expelled former cardinal and Archbishop of Washington, DC
Theodore McCarrick from the Catholic priesthood today, the
Vatican announced that an internal investigation found
McKarrick guilty of soliciting for sex while hearing confession
and several times involving minors and adults quote with the
aggravating factor of the abuse of power.
Wow, soliciting during confession.
This is the thing that got me I'm listening to this I object
what and so I'm trying to imagine how this goes. am I
confessing first of all I think he probably didn't I think he
probably found men who came in and said hey, Forgive me father
for I said it had sex with a man blah, blah. And then he would
the priest who had this word he's hearing confessions say,
really?
was one time. Tell me how it works. Maybe you should show me
how it works. Interested in us
now? But this was also under aged children
everything. Well, how
can I use what I don't understand? We throw people in
jail for everything. How do these a holes walk around?
I have no idea. And this is the first Cardinal has been booted
from the church. I think in 200 years. It's never gotten to no
one's ever gotten to Cardinal. I mean, this is the highest right
and just second to Pope. And so to get as far as he did, and
meanwhile soliciting people in the confessional booth. It's
like you know, it this is like the guys. I'm reminded of the
guests like a crooked cop, man. It's like that was like that was
conversion therapy. There you go. They did a number of
conversion therapy event jelly goals, and there's been many of
evangelicals who were gay and they're just closeted or or they
were gay. and they would do conversion therapies as well,
your you know, you can have to show me how this works. I could
use a lesson here. Let me can you do that on me and see what
happens. I want to see what the response. I mean, I can't
imagine the kind of games that are played, but it's obviously
it's a road to a Come on. And I just found it to be hilarious
that this was going on. I find
it so disturbing. It's disturbing. It's more to
solve. I think it's hilarious, personally, but
why why just why aren't these people? I mean, is it because
statute of limitations and that kind of
loves plenty of
that? Yeah. Geez, man. All right. Part Two support were
filed at the time and why would there be because the guy was
like, you know, alright, played Part Two,
the 88 year old McKarrick is the highest ranking Catholic
official to be defrocked or removed from the priesthood.
This follows decades of sex abuse scandals in the church,
the fracking means that he can no longer celebrate mass or
other sacraments. A Vatican summit to discuss the global
sexual abuse crisis is set to begin next Thursday.
Global abuse crisis. These guys have no standing. I'm sorry.
She's
not anyway, I just found this to be it's interesting. Just some
reason it
used to be me who would bring these clips? Yeah. For years on
the show. I said listen to this, especially when the when the
initial scandals were just starting to come to light. And
you actually got you said, don't do it anymore. Just stop. No, I
didn't. Okay. All right. Okay, maybe Okay, let's say I did, but
I probably did. Because it was just kind of hollow. It wasn't
going anywhere. This is like coming to a head now. And I and
this is funnier. Your clips weren't funny. They were
kind of it but I don't find this to be very funny.
Somebody in the confessional booth and hearing somebody's
confessing about some sex act, and then coming on to them.
Well, that sounds pretty interesting. I'll give you I'll
tell you I'll do a deal with you. You only have one Hail Mary
instead of the 50. You deserve. But you got to show me how this
works. afterwards.
They will there will be a test dogs. That's right, everybody.
Convergence of worlds. My favorite topics, dogs, and I
love dogs. And electric scooters.
Yeah. Tim Jessa Lane Rosa's attorney tool 23 ABC she is in
the process of turning herself into Bakersfield Police tonight
after the district attorney's office filed charges of animal
abuse and neglect against Rosa. You may remember that viral
video causing an uproar on social media. That video showing
Rosa dragging a dog behind a bird scooter. Rosa is now facing
one felony and one misdemeanor charge which could land her in
jail for up to three years and a fine of $20,000 The video was
captured by home surveillance cameras in downtown Bakersfield
appear in a show Rosa dragging a small dog on a bird scooter BBD
says the dog wasn't actually hers and was returned to its
rightful owner. But it's unclear who actually owns the dog. Rosa
was a former employee of the kern Valley State Prison as a
contracted psychologist. Her contract was terminated just
days after the video went viral.
So of course a psychologist would do this.
Yes, shrink gun nuts. Have
you seen this video?
No. I have not seen the video.
Oh my god. The dog is just she's on the leash. She's dragging the
dog behind her. The dog is not just like on his side. Flying
off. It's just just being dragged along. What is wrong
with people?
I don't know what's wrong with her.
Yeah, I thought well, she's a psychologist. Maybe that's the
issue. That I'm unreal. These scooters man. They're bad for
people
recording this stuff
if this was well, on the other hand, I'm not really glad about
it because this these are the ring doorbells that people have
been installing which has a camera is
watching everything. So
yeah, of course this is beautiful for the for the
intelligence services. They can just flip on cameras everywhere.
Look at a whole street. They literally went from one to two
to three. There were three different videos that they put
together for this for this video that apparently went viral.
Social wasn't somebody filming it was just a dip. Yeah. Oh,
really? Yeah. Who
bought the didn't someone buy the ring doorbell company wasn't
a Google. It would make sense, wouldn't it? Ah, let's see
acquired. Let's see if anyone has any info on its Amazon.
Oops, sorry. $1 billion. Hello, course. Course course. Spy
companies man spies. are spying on us? Well, it's about to get a
hell of a lot better. You know, we've discussed my credibility
as in credit credit worthiness, in the past,
credibility and credit, credit worthiness are not even
connected. That's why I
said credit worthiness to correct myself. Okay, my FICO
score to be precise skyrocketed it has. Now I came back to the
US in 2005, I believe and what happened is I got on the payroll
of my own company, and the IRS showed up at the company
probably about a year later in San Francisco with their guns
and said we'd been looking for you do you remember this?
Did they have I wasn't there? Did Did they have the guns
pulled out?
Now they had a shotgun and they both had their hand their hand
guns exposed, and they were in uniform. IRS agent uniforms with
handguns and a shotgun. We've been look we've been looking for
you Mr. Curry. I said Google. This is it didn't find that very
funny. And what had happened was my accountant in the Netherlands
had not I pay taxes but had not filed them at all or properly or
whatever it was for the no nine years I'd been out of the
country more than that not whatever amount of time so I got
a huge lien and it cost me a lot of money and lawyers fees and
fines and all kinds of stuff and then my wages were garnished it
was very it was a harrowing ordeal and I think some of it is
still on my record because you know like a lien a tax lien
stays on your record for some godly like nine years or
something. And so when when we were looking initially at buying
what I wanted to buy the air stream of consciousness it was
very difficult for me to get any kind of financing because my
FICO score was in the six hundreds because pretty much non
existent when we started the show. I didn't even have a
credit card as you can recall and I was quite proud of it
using cash and debit card only
Yeah, heaven forbid you do that because then you're not you're
useless citizen.
Exactly. So I had to become a more useful citizen and I had to
get a credit card and build up my credit and of course once I
met Tina the keeper who has you know a FICO score of I kid you
not 860
That's what she's called Tina the keeper Hell
yeah. You know, she's been like kicking my ass about making sure
I pay bills on time I have three bills but okay, paying bills on
time and being a good citizen then work because we're we want
to buy a house and now that we're together we can actually
build buy a house because the two of us so we're going through
the process and you know, she did it. She helped me up my FICO
score I am now 750 no good for you. I'm very proud of myself.
But apparently Of course, well I am because you know now we can
you know, hopefully get a mortgage and and get on the
property ladder on the lowest rung.
Yeah, there you go. Right. Now
there are people who have problems with their FICO score
which is a complete commercial company that just made this
score I am to control you to control you into believing that
this is how it kid there is no such thing to control you into
believing that you are a good citizens as John just said and
it is a total scam it is it is not much different than the
Chinese social scoring system, except the FICO score. If you
actually check it, it hurts your score which is the best part of
the whole system. I love that but NBC has report there's a
brand new way now for you to fix your FICO score so you can be a
better citizen and get on the debt ladder yourself for working
mom, Jacqueline Neary may speak with Miss Sanchez, please It's
one sales cold call after another. Each number dials a
chance to not be defined by another number. My credit score
currently is that 511 I believe Neary blames that very poor
credit score on student loans and nine year old credit card
debt from when her son was born
and not that person you know who they're judging off of that
negative credit score.
Credit Agency experience says nearly 100 million Americans
suffer from poor credit, which is why the company is launching
Experian boost a free program designed to raise scores
immediately in exchange for access to your bank account
utility bills, even cell phone payments. asking people for
their spending history their bank accounts,
this is great news everybody. Open up your stuff. Let him in.
You get an immediate boost. In fact, we branded it as Experian
boost
pretty personal stuff. How safe is this to provide information
wise the consumer
is always in control. They Beside when they provide that
access, when they want to revoke that access
led to an instant 21 Point boost, but critics see risks of
subprime lending opportunism to make more money for more loans
and privacy concerns.
So someone is going to make money off of my data, it won't
be me. But now that information exists, and it exists for the
world to see for it to be sold.
Experian promises, encrypted records, and to only show this
new information to its regular credit report clients, adding
anyone who leaves the program should expect to see their score
drop nearly a risk worth taking a bet on a better future by
letting a company peek at the present.
When a piece of crap ad native ad that was at 20 points. She
said her score was 540. So now it's 560.
It's encouragement. This is slavery. It is sanctioned
slavery. The first question I'd have for Elizabeth Warren, if I
ever spoke with her is what happened to your credit consumer
protection agency bureau. This is this is actual slavery. Oh,
you know, if you leave the program, if you don't let us
watch what you do with your money, you'll go down in your
ratings. It is slavery
we need some smart state representatives to crack down on
this stuff at the state level. Yeah, I
the system. It's like a big fix. You know, the system is in
everything runs on it. People accept it. That's that's the
bigger problem.
People, the olden days, the banks would do their own
research on you. Yes, why don't you just look at a number and
decide to give you a loan or not. I mean, what's hard is that
which is exactly why we went with the credit union for our
mortgage. You know, they they look at you and say, Hey, why
don't you get money from divorce check every two weeks
from the LLC.
Like, you're very curious curry. We're not quite sure how your
business works. We'd like to talk to you about it. But you
know what, at least they're not basing it on a damn credit
score. But yeah, but this is this is very bad. And you're
right the way NBC does this native ads for this new boost
product. It's disgusting. Say I guess that's the only answer is
save. If you're if you're young enough, you can do it. And I
like old, old old messed up people like me. Know, I spent
all my money. But I had a lot of fun spending it.
Stop spending your money.
By donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could
do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
we do have a few people to thank for show 1113 Suppose we could
have used it is 1130 1140 1113 Okay, so it's 1113 Could you use

deleted off my podcast list once John was fired. I think he left

Okay, now here's the thing that Donovan says. I'm going to read
from his original note, calling all cyber dudes and dudettes
let's try to do that. This is nothing that is been. It's not
on the meet up side. It's just that something I don't know what
we're how this is gonna go. But I'm gonna at least do this much.
Let's try to do a simultaneous meet up on Saturday, three, two,
and get a group together in San Francisco at the same time as
the Austin meetup. Now it'll be okay. This will be during the
cybers conference RSA Conference in San Francisco. Details to
follow in the meetup said there's been no details on the
meetup site. Know what you're gonna say?
I don't think it's a good idea Austin has finally we're doing
our big Texas meetup. I don't want California horning in on
our on our on our glory.
I can understand that.
That's plenty of there's been plenty of meetups in in
California, California, and it's Texas has turned now come over
here. Besides, I really don't see that working very well. So
we're gonna get a laptop. Hey, everybody, let's wave. I'm
sorry. What's the idea? We're doing simultaneous meetups and
we're gonna wave at each other or just do a
DNA. There was no mention of any such thing.
Okay. What what? So okay, they're trying to put together a
meet up.
So what's the point is what you're asking? Yeah.
That you can tell them about the donations just meet up together.
I'm irked about the donations today. It's really irked me.
That's all. Well, it's nothing to do with you. It's just shoddy
as I think as we look. We're already pretty unprofessional in
a lot of things. But I just like to get some of these things
right, the birthdays, that kind of stuff. I'd like to get it
right.
I think grousing about it is not gonna get any more professional.
All right, onward. Let's go with the idiot mayor. Story. Okay,
idiot Mayor PBS won
the race for the White House in 2020 is in full swing and 10.
Democrats so far have declared their candidacy for the party's
nomination, which is four months to go before the first
democratic presidential debate. In June, Pete Buda judge, the
mayor of South Bend, Indiana, recently announced that he
formed an exploratory committee. If he wins his party's
nomination, he would be the first openly gay candidate of a
major party to run for the White House. Mayor Buda judge joins us
now to discuss his book, The shortest way home and why he
would be a good president. Mayor Buda judge, thank you very much
for being with us. Thanks for having me. So first obvious
question, why would a 37 year old mayor of a small city in the
Midwestern part of the US be running for President? Well,
I believe we're in a moment that calls for something completely
new. And among other things, I think it calls for voices from
the industrial Midwest, a place that, in particular, my party to
its detriment, largely ignored in past election cycles. I think
it also calls for somebody from a newer generation. You know, as
a millennial, I'm just old enough, or just young enough to
qualify as an older millennial. I'm from the generation that,
for one thing grew up experiencing school shootings is
the norm. I was in high school, when Columbine happened, we are
the generation that's going to be on the business end of
climate change, that's going to have to pick up the pieces of
the fiscal mess that will be made by current tax policy. And
economically, we could be the first generation in American
history to make less than our parents if nothing is done. So I
think that those kinds of voices have been missing from the
debate. And it's time to step forward. I get that it's a non
traditional path compared to, let's say, being in the
Congress, but as an executive with on the ground experience in
government. I would also argue that the more Congress starts
looking or Washington starts looking like our best run cities
and towns instead of the other way around, the better off we'll
be.
She asked the question why would a 37 year old mayor for some
bumfuck city and Indiana be running for president and I'm
and I'm my jaws dropped during this whole thing. Wondering why
is PBS News Hour giving this guy they gave him 15 minutes,
they're desperate for candidates.
What? There's 1000s of candidates,
but they gotta find someone who works nothing, nothing. Nobody
works. No one's good. They're looking for anything. They're
filling time.
He's a 37 year old gay male from Indiana, who nobody has heard
out ticks the
boxes right there Midwest, gay Democrat, perfect.
And he's the only thing that I can see where they may be kind
of like jacked up about this guy, because he's so all in on
climate change. That that's all he talks about. And by the way,
I think it's going to be a losing talking point for the
Democrats that climate change is not
well, that's not true because everyone right now on the
Democratic side is running on the green New Deal. Does he
mentioned the green New Deal, he's an idiot if he doesn't use
that if he just says climate change, then he's done.
Well away, you think he has a chance no matter what he
mentions?
No, you're just saying that this climate change no one cares.
That's not true. 70 all of the candidates I have who are
running in the primary for the Democrats have all said, Oh, we
endorse the green New Deal. So it is important to do that if
you say, green New Deal.
I don't know if he's, I can't remember if he said it or not.
But let's play a little part two, here's got some more stuff
to say. So,
tax policy, that's one of the issues that we're already
hearing these early announced candidates talk about where do
you put yourself on the spectrum of the people who've expressed
an interest in the Democratic nomination? There's Kamala
Harris, there's everybody to Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders
make it in. We'll start with tax policy. Where would you put
yourself when it comes to taxing the wealthy?
Well, we I think it's pretty clear that there are people in
America right now who are not paying their fair share.
concentration of wealth is increased to a level that is
almost incompatible with democracy, especially at a time
when it feels like dollars can sometimes outvote people.
Billionaire is a bad word. We learned all this.
While he's falling into line, let's go into the third light
final little short clip, which I apparently found something and
that is a WTF moment.
The mistake is believing that border security is as simple as
just putting up a wall from sea to shining sea. And by the way,
I also think it's a mistake to believe that security in general
in the 21st century, is as simple as military and border
security matters at a moment like this, when 21st century
threats from cybersecurity to climate security, are demanding
action. Many of you, especially the majority party in the
Senate, don't seem to show any interest in tackling that at
all. I mean, climate security. Yeah.
Need actually MIT security climate
security, baby. Yeah, you do you want to be unsecure.
What does it mean? I don't know.
Didn't they ask a PBS?
No, of course not. It's almost as though there was a native ad
for this guy. But he's another guy on the list. He won't.
There's there was a part four, which is 45 seconds if you want
to. Yeah, of course, of course, should hopefully we
can save this. You've done that. And whether you agree or not. If
you were president, for example, you've said you think the
climate climate change is a national emergency, could you
see yourself declaring an emergency over over that maybe
the
youngest person in the 2020 conversation, but I'm old enough
to remember when conservatives and liberals alike, were
skeptical of presidential power grabs, and the idea that he can
assert additional power based on an emergency, that's not a true
emergency. To the extent that there is a humanitarian crisis.
It's one of his own making, because of the cruel policies
being implemented at the border. And in the meantime, something
like climate something that has the destructive power of perhaps
a depression or a world war, that is a much more real
emergency is demanding our attention.
The sciences and
yeah, you know, this has to stop what these people are saying.
And by the science is backing off from this, we're all going
to die in the climate. I mean, it's happening everywhere. We're
identifying it. NASA's top global warming scientists, we
played her on the show, backing away from the Austrian
Meteorological Institute is also backing away from the consensus
of climate change. But the politicians are all in there
pushing it so hard and abusing children. Your own news had this
report this morning is very short. So there was another
climate change rally. This is an 11 year old girl, and listen to
this adult standing around her as this child is is filled with
fear and tragedy and emotion and cries about the climate killing
us. And these assholes are standing around her cheering her
on. Hi, my name is Iris and I love everything about it the
moment emotional,
very emotional, great job.
They don't do they not see the destruction?
No. Of course not. At all. It's great.
It's so it's child abuse. It's up there with these priests.
It's just a different religion to making Cha. It's abusive. So
abusive.
Yeah. Anyway, all right. Well, let's move on to I have a
Venezuela update. Okay. PBS shows PBS report not democracy
now. So it's going to be true. Oh, the new guy
guaido The US
began using military transport planes today to deliver food
medicine and supplies for Venezuelans to a border city in
Colombia. The airlift follows shipments using civilian
aircraft and the US as more shipments are planned.
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro continues to block aid
delivery, but opposition leader Juan guaido, who the US and many
other countries recognize as president says on Monday, he
will announce plans to bring the supplies into Venezuela.
Yeah, I think I actually have a follow up to that. Let me see
where this clip is from A to Z. It's about exactly him doing.
His whalers, opposition leader and self declared President Juan
guaido has promised to organize brigades of volunteer
this is your old news. So very similar, I
guess, to ensure international aid reaches the country's
population, unless the Venezuelan army does the job
itself. The message to the Armed Forces of Venezuela he told
supporters in Caracas is that there are seven days for the
humanitarian aid to come in one week for them to do the right
thing. We are authorizing the aid to enter. The United States
has flown in food and medical supplies to neighboring
Colombia, but it's been blocked by the government of President
Nicolas Maduro, who sees the operation as a political
maneuver designed to oust him from power.
Have we seen anything on the Iran connection? Have they been
ramping that up at all?
Not this that in the last couple of days, but I'm beginning to
think the possibility to think it would tell me about this. So
we've been pretty good at realizing one country after
another in that list of seven. You know, those countries have
been ruined. I mean, Libya, Syria is all beat to crap,
shall we? Shall we check the list?
No, no, I don't wanna check the listing. And we know what the
list is just a bunch of countries verbalized. And now,
is it possible that somebody's got it in their brain that hey,
what happens if we rub allies, some countries in South America?
It's within our sphere of influence? It makes a lot more
sense to do that. They're in the style of the oil. We have oral
reserves in the world, by the way, off the coast of Venezuela.
What if we did it there? What would happen? Do you think? I
mean, I'm thinking from a NEO cons perspective, they want to
realize everything. I don't know, maybe this is a test. So
what are we what's our excuse? Well, Hamas and then Hezbollah,
right. We're somehow in Venezuela, we got to root them
out. Well,
this is I have a collection of articles. This is not the first
time this connection has been made. Let me see. This is
September 8 2009. The link between Iran and Venezuela
crisis in the making Iran and Venezuela in bed together
diplomatic ties go back almost 50 years, and they all tell the
stories, tie it to drugs. We have drugs. Yep. Oh, yeah.
Here's Reuters.
One was this. This exploit didn't work.
Excuse me? No. This is July 21. What was 2009? July 21.
Venezuela denies us Drug Report Hezbollah charges. So this is a
this is not new. In fact, this is when Obama was just in so
that's kind of interesting. This is Iran and its proxy Hezbollah
strategic penetration in Latin America. This is from as
probably else from 2009. Let me see. Yep. 2009 Iran's goals in
Latin America, it's like get the drugs in. So this was tried.
This was tried 10 years ago, with the same the same link
between Hezbollah, Venezuela and an obviously Iran. It's they're
bringing back some playbook, but we haven't figured it out yet.
Well, it's not going to be pretty.
I don't think so either. And there's and what's the rhetoric
on Iran?
Well, the latest thing is this clip I have which is the Iran
news with pence. Yeah, I
got that. Anyway, around. Well, they had the big the big Munich
Security Conference.
Yeah. And my guess Pence is getting raises. Wrapping things
up. Let's see which ran news. Yeah, got it. Here we go.
Vice President Mike Pence and German Chancellor Angela Merkel
squared off over the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear
deal today at the annual Munich Security Conference in Germany.
Pence use strong language in his speech to top global defense and
foreign policy officials demanding that European
countries back US sanctions against Iran. The time
has come for our European partners to stop undermining us
sanctions against this murderous revolutionary regime.
pence spoke after Merkel used her speech to defend the
decision by Germany and other nations to remain in the 2015.
Iran nuclear agreement saying it is a way to continue to exert
pressure on Iran, the United Kingdom, Germany, France,
Russia, China and the European Union are still part of the
agreement with Iran. Yeah.
And then, you know, the Europeans, they're still trying
to circumvent all the payment systems to continue to do work
with Iran. This could be much bigger, maybe, maybe, maybe
something much bigger is happening.
The maybe. But what I
don't know, and hopefully we'll get some producers who maybe are
some boots on the ground or that mean, there's got to be
something brewing in Iran that we're not hearing about?
Well, this is where economic hitmen right come in handy to
come
in for sure, for sure. Quick update maybe on the yellow
vests. And I think there was a request for that earlier in the
show. That third month now in effect,
clashes in Paris on Saturday marks three months since as you
leisure and demonstrators rallied against President
Emmanuel Macron policies. But with fewer people taking part in
mind you this is your own news. So standby for the propaganda.
Last November, they were around 300,000 to took to the streets
across cities in France. Last week, they were around 50,000,
according to government estimates, but organizers put
the figure at over 100,000. Of course, we are tired, we are fed
up. But we won't give up. We won't give up on anything
because they want to muzzle us and we want to be heard. So I
will carry on until the movement runs out of steam if it runs out
of steam, if I remain prepared to continue because I'm unable
to buy as many things every day. I'm also here to denounce the
violence from the police. There is more and more violence, which
unfortunately, the media does not show in France. A poll this
week showed dwindling support for them as more than half of
those surveyed said they want any violence to stop.
All right. So it's just not stopping. And it's still
spreading. But this this is the only report I can find is three
months. Three months straight. Yeah, yeah. Three months
straight. And we get no news in the US about this at all. or
Europe
has barely any news. We have yellow vest in the Netherlands
and Belgium in the Germany I think maybe Austria you really
don't know because it's it's not mainstream reporting. I would
have to make an actual
effort all used to be some reporting somewhere this is it
EURO
NEWS, and it's the propaganda tapering off. It's a lot less
than it was only 50,000. Who cares about 50,000 people who
are pissed off all right, we do have this for two. This was a
this was a great report. So interesting to me that I got our
little jingle ready for it.
A spot the spook, spot to spook everybody wants to spot
spoon. This is from the podcasts auto line daily episode 2532.
Boy, that's a little bit ahead of us.
Here's a fascinating transformation going on with the
board of directors at General Motors. It's now well populated
with people from the intelligence and military
communities. They include Mike Mullen, the former Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Jamie Meshech, former deputy director
of the CIA, Linda Gooden, formerly the head of information
systems at Lockheed Martin and West Bush, former CEO of
Northrop Grumman, and a world of cyber attacks and geopolitical
flare ups. General Motors is making sure it has the kind of
corporate guidance that knows how to deal with these kinds of
problems. Another point worth repeating almost half of genomes
board are women, the highest percentage in the auto industry
by a wide margin. And that's going to give GM perspectives
that other automakers do not have to know.
Yeah, it's a podcast. So you know, it's, it's just
information. But that's quite an interesting list of board
members.
But there's more than just information. There's an opinion
at the end. Yeah,
I don't care about the opinion. I was looking at the spooks.
Yeah, the places filled with them is almost all spooks why.
What is GE does Ge Ge and make war stuff. I guess they do
tanks. Okay. But still, that's an interesting list. Is that how
you get paid off at the end? You know, like be on the board and
everything's good, you know, thanks
for your service. It's a paid board job. It's not like a free
one. Maybe it could be just that the GMC only company allow it
may be I don't know what it is very, very fishy.
I do like that. It's the majority is women. I hope the
company does really well. That's what we've been promised.
Yes, if at all, yeah, with all the women that do better than
typically all men, according to what we've been promised.
And I guess we should do this update, since it seems to be
incredibly important to people, although the event itself is
completely uninteresting. But the fact that it took place is
very, very bad for the United States and once again, shows you
how the mainstream media gets just fooled into all kinds of
crap. This is the Jussie Smollett, I think we you know,
this is kind of what everyone has an E want a chuckle. Well,
I'll play the report. In a quick discussion. Developing
news now and the Jesse Smollett case the two men arrested in the
alleged attack on the actor were released from custody, but
apparently not before giving police important information
important. CBS News The Nigerian brothers say the Empire actor
orchestrated the whole thing there
and Chris's story is still evolving. Chicago police
released a statement tonight saying information from those
brothers you mentioned quote, shifted the trajectory of the
investigation. And Police say they've reached out to the
attorney representing Jussie Smollett, hoping to speak to
him. They've now released those brothers without filing any
charges. And when they did police that there was new
evidence but didn't say what it was. Now, Sources tell CBS News
the brother said Smollett paid them to take part in the attack.
Sources say the pair was paid $3,500 before they left for
Nigeria shortly after the attack and were promised another 500
When they returned, they also reportedly said they bought the
rope that was around small its neck at a hardware store.
Thursday police searched the apartment of the brothers and
removed bleach a black ski mask as well as other items. Small Ed
has hired Michael Monaco as his lawyer. He's best known for
representing presidents Trump's one time personal attorney
Michael Cohen. That'll be
good luck with that. That's backup. We call this from the
minute it was we did it was produced as some sort of a news
story because of the because of the situation
in China. It wasn't just a news story. It was a breaking news.
Stop everything. There were I was listening to MSNBC Stephanie
rule was in tears. This is the worst news I've ever had to
read. And it was they had Magga hats and they said it was Maga
country something that isn't even that he that wasn't even
reported. This is another example of how it's just how do
you trigger the news? Who can do a better job who can get
something to go viral? And there's never an apology for all
the shit that they say while this hoax takes place.
Again, I just want to remind people, we spotted this because
of the weather conditions. Nobody's going to be out in in
20 below temperatures with 40 on like that. For starters, the
whole thing made zero sense. And so we just ignored it. We made
our proclamation. This is bull crap. Oh, it makes it sound like
Trump apologists, of course. And we stopped. We stopped deeming
reporting on it because it was dumb. And now it comes around to
be exactly what we said dumb, which and of course we gladly I
guess you follow it up. I mean, I wasn't even going to pay any
attention to it. But it's just the end. And you're right. Where
is the apology for these news outlets that don't do any work?
They don't they look at Twitter. And that's that's their job now.
I mean, it's horrible.
Yes. Which is kind of the essence of why we even have this
show is to is to point out the fallacies of the media and what
they're doing. But what they're not doing in this case is
apologizing profusely for having started yet another race
conversation that we really don't need here at the moment.
And you know, I've made this other assertion. This will still
be seen by Manny. Oh, yes, that did happen.
Yeah. That's the worst part.
Yeah, that was like that guy in Chicago. They put a noose around
his head head to Magga hat guys remember that? That's right. You
the same hat that that kid wore when he went after that Indian
guy, you know, and those horrible high schoolers they
almost beat him up. You know that remember that?
You nailed it. That's exactly it. Well, there you go. Another
immediate lie deconstructed. But we kind of knew it the minute it
happened. And just based on the weather, the story made no
sense. That's right, Detective Dookie. We're all over it. And
we will be back on Thursday for more of the deconstruction of
the Daily News. Whatever else is going on around the world.

National Emergency, when you hear the word emergency, we will
have a national emergency
threat danger around the corner, a need to act now National
Emergency Haven't you heard? Even though it shouldn't be
there?
Is there really an emergency at the border
national emergency? They have
a national emergency. All right. Its name is
Donald Trump, and they will sue us in the ninth circuit
to key last the government shutdown. So he's giving himself
a performance trophy. So we can say I'm a winner. And we will
then be sued President himself essentially saying it's not a
national emergency,
we will have a national emergency, there's no emergency.
And everybody knows that. And that will end up in the Supreme
Court makes no sense. And what we really want to do is simple.
It's not
like describe this emergency as a non emergency complicated.
It's
very simple. And at the same time,
it makes perfect sense and will win in the Supreme
Court.
Taking a sense what message will this send to the men who
attacked many men are acting like women. I mean, they can
deal with the ratings, they can deal with terrorism, no
masculine power in our society to fight back. And that's
because our culture has become feminized men here are brought
up to be women and think like women and be soft minded. Europe
is about taking a stance is taking a stance that was not
what you used to be like male hero virtues, a culture needs to
be balanced, you need to have both the masculine and the
feminine. Now the masculine part is lost and we see the
consequences. So the vacuum that feminism has has created means
that women are becoming victims and needs to take responsibility
to defend the women the children and the culture. Because now I
mean this postmodern project is taking maybe this secular
humanism is just an illusion. That was good.
