He and Andy and me and Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
Thursday, March 14 2019. This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode 1120. This is no agenda,
suffering from hipster overload and broadcasting live from the
Capitol to drone Star state here in downtown Austin. Hey house in
the studio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley prime hoping to get into Yale or
USC on that cricket team. And John C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill. Yes,
it does seem to it. I think you're having a good time with
this new story. It's something special about this one that
really is tickling your fancy.
Yeah, yeah. Why is that? Why? Because it involves Stanford,
USC and UCLA. That's what I thought
the most elitist douchebag universities in the in the
country for sure, three,
three of the many, I mean, Yale's on there too, which is
really pathetic. Yeah. Yeah. So
I guess I don't know if everyone has heard about this around
Gitmo nation, certainly in the US, we probably have
to wonder about that issue. And you're not still in Europe to
see if it was like going over there. Because it's what's
really
the concept of the story? Well, the concept of the admissions
process and the history behind it, I don't think is well known.
Now, because you're in Europe, one of these countries is like,
Oh, you apply and you get it. And you know, and it's a lot of
it's free. Or of course it's not free, because now it costs more
than books are crazy. There is some tuition you have to pay.
And kids are complaining around the world about it. Think of the
UK also the Netherlands.
Yeah, the UK, they protested in Britain, street rallies. Yeah.
But it's it's kind of special here in America. And I would say
that now I, I went to West Virginia to three months of
college. So I don't have a lot of standing in this area. But
I've always grown up thinking that, you know, it's like if
your dad went to some hoity toity, or your mom, your parents
went to some hoity toity school and they'd have connections and,
you know, depending on where you are in society, you can
probably, you know, weasel around and get your kid into
some school that height. You know, I've heard about this for
years in New York. Certainly, amongst the the financial crowd
always donating money to certain schools to ensure their kid gets
in, but this was a whole new level.
Well, and even that is not necessarily the way it's done
everywhere. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. But this is this is, this
is so dumb, because and I think a lot of it has to do with the,
the education of the people who are doing it, at least at least
with the actor, actresses and actors, from Hollywood, the
Hollywood elites, who,
well, it's, well, that's only really two that they nailed.
It's only two but they're the most fun. No, I don't know. I
liked it. I liked the publicly traded company CEOs, man. No,
that hasn't happened in a long time.
Who owned the CBS affiliate? Channel? Eight down in San
Diego?
Oh, really?
Yeah. Yeah, once again, they of course, are highlighted because
a republic?
Well, what I what I noticed right off the bat is that only
these two actresses were named. And of course, there's there's
show business value to that. But you probably wouldn't want to be
exposing big donors to campaigns at this moment. Because
regardless of who they donate to, they're going to be shunned
and shamed and you know, then people have to give money back
and PACs will have to be investigated. So I saw the news
media being very careful about it. Even every article I found,
you know, doesn't mention the companies that these these
people run just Oh CEO of this kind of company of a, you know,
a shoe company and this stuff, like sell that to be
disingenuous.
That's a good point. I've seen a couple of lists of the people
but they never mentioned never mentioned
the company's No. Hmm. And also not mentioned, how about the
admissions board's?
Well, they that that is discussed, because it seems as
though some some issues with the way it's structured, but they
also don't mention the kids.
Well, not yet. Not yet.
This is the thing except there's a couple kids we do know for
sure the half not Hofmann's. But Lofland daughters who are both
YouTube celebrities and add some clips from them, which are very
ironic. Next I thought I'd do it.
Okay. No, you don't hate it. It's great fight. Don't
hate it. You're right. But let's let's back off. And these kids
because they've done so well, the kids we're gonna do with the
kids, the kids, you know, they were unwitting, they didn't know
and now they're gonna be kicked out, probably they should be
kicked out of school, embarrassed kicked out of
school. And you end up with? Well, the poor kids, the kids
had to know what was going on. When you get it sure become a
member of the Women's crew team. And a lot of this is Title Nine
stuff, by the way for people out there who follows sports,
athletics and in college. Title Nine is the law that came down
that says you have to give as much money to women's sports as
you do to men. So there's a lot of women that aren't even
remotely interested. But they still have all this money. And
so they you know, they have a lot of this is not necessarily
scholarships, but there's room for more women in sports. And so
they blood these are women that got in so
just just briefly just to recap the way I understood the way the
scam works, this one guy apparently I have a feeling that
maybe more would connect with the parents and say, okay,
you've got to give me some bribe money. And that could be in a
combination of a donation somewhere. But it seemed to be a
lot of cash going to coaches, special programs, you know,
nonprofits that were run by people in the athletic
department that had like official sounding names. And
then what the coach would do is okay, well, this person clearly
belongs on the rowing team or crew, as we call it. Yeah. Or
golf, or here, UT, UT of Austin, the tennis team. And then they
would say, Oh, this clearly we need to bring this this person
in, because it just look at the promise. And they went so far as
to in some cases even Photoshop their kids heads up to different
athletic bodies, which is the best. That shows some real
initiative and creativity right there. I
love that. That's one of my favorite things. Yeah.
So now is this. The reason why this is a big deal is a because
it's a lot of elites. And in this case, we have two Hollywood
elites kind of interesting. But there's some actual legality
around this, especially institutions that receive
federal funds. This isn't all this is a violation of actual
laws, right?
Yeah. No, there's a lot of it's basically a giant fraud case.
Yeah. My meanie says that she may have heard from this guy
back years ago, running his operation out of Sacramento. Oh,
and I suspect and I don't know if this is gonna get looked into
that. The only reason I think JC was having trouble in some
horrible private
ah, a little a little call came in.
I think that there was some collusion between the high
schools and the end of this operation. For probably some
funds, I would assume I
think we shouldn't be you should investigate kindergartens. I'm
sure this goes all the way down to K.
It goes down to kindergarten. Okay, using that sarcastic
not really no, that's not sarcastic. I think that that may
be
there are kindergarten people I know struggle in New York City
and some of these places oh my god, we've got to get my baby
can't get into the right kindergarten. There is an
element to that. It's like patchy and baby, I get ya. Get
in. Anyway, the so this is she says just some guy was a hard
sell. You know what, you know, I'm gonna do this. I can do
this. I can do this. I can do that. And Mimi's response to the
whole thing was everything you've described to me? I can
do?
I could bribe people. I don't need you for that.
I asked her why she never told me about this. And she says
because you'd say the same thing I did. What are you gonna do
with this guy? They went to way too much money. Meanwhile,
your son graduated. College.
That's crazy school.
He went to Evergreen. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. All right. Nice. So
did his wife. So this worked out for them? Yeah. So one of the
people that you get anyway, they talked about the kids and they
say well, the kids probably I don't believe that because the
kids had to some of them had to take the special exams in his in
his private
setting, with people sitting right next to them. There's
a slew of problems with the kids but let's play. The My favorite
one is this woman who's a YouTube celebrity call Olivia
Jade.
And she one of the daughters of Laughlin is that
the daughters of loft and she's very famous YouTube, like 2
million followers on YouTube and Instagram. Am I and she's she
here I have one wrap up of her which is the Olivia Jade
original does not care for school 34 second clip, and then
the whole college thing. Yep, I'm going and living in a dorm
with a roommate who's so sweet. With work, it's going to be hard
like my first week of school I'm leaving to go to Fiji for work.
And then I'll be in New York a bunch this year for work and
traveling to a different country because I'm creating something
with this country. And that's for work. So I don't know how
much of school I'm going to attend. But I'm gonna go in and
talk to my deans and everyone and hope that I can try and
balance it all. But I do want the experience of like game days
partying, like care about school.
Fuck school.
She's the one with the USC with her sister, who I think are both
get drummed out and that
was just so competitive. USC or this is a competitive school.
This is the joke
of it. I went to University of California at Berkeley and our
thoughts are always the same but USC How hard is it to get into
USC?
Or how dumb must you beat and to be rejected
is called the University of spoiled children is like it's
that she's like a classic you said person that would have gone
to USC just normally but they had this you know they got I
think defense they just loved him got ripped off because she's
too dumb to realize it that you know, she could have gotten in
the US you no problem. But now she's going to get booted out.
And that's going to be very, it's going to be tough on her on
her. Her YouTuber career because well wait and clearly her and
her sister are inundated with the internet hate to wait and
wait until they get deep platformed YouTube should take
them off. They're horrible examples. They should be D
platformed D monetized D platformed. And D boned
should be the backbone. So here's another clip from her she
just got she for one thing she goes to USC her whole first week
is class she misses completely cuz she goes to Fiji title this
woman is so we make well, Jade back from Fiji. So
we made it in the dorm. I'm going to turn some lights on to
sound weird for me. This is my new ring light. This is so
crazy. I'm like sweating. It's a million degrees out. Hi
everybody. Welcome back to my channel. I am in my dorm right
now. This is so crazy. And I'm still trying to keep up with
twice a week posting while also being in college. But we're
gonna make it work. So today I'm getting ready for my first
college party. It's an all black party. And I'm gonna do my
makeup my hair and my outfit show you guys and I just think
it's fun because I'm an adult Are you proud of me? Are you
guys got them here?
One thing not widely known is that John C. Dvorak, my
colleague really enjoys watching the YouTubes you watched these
kinds of YouTubers a lot admit you love this stuff.
I come on sick yes it's given me a lot better vision. Oh, because
I roll my eyes lots of exercise. Yes. That's great exercise. And
I don't know a lot of these personalities but I when I
mentioned this at the dinner table Jay kind of knew who this
woman was and there's tons of them and I you know this for a
fact because everyone's so I run into one I send
it to me and I'm watching 20 minutes like what was I watching
this for? Yeah, by the way this
is your maybe 100 of these women Oh yeah, but they have big
followings I think in this was bots and
could be could be phony below. Maybe her mom paid for that too.
What do you know? Mom maybe went out and bought some bought some
subscribers and make them want to listen to this Black Party
sounds pretty racist.
I'm going to wet my beauty blender and then set up a mirror
and then I'll be right back. I guess this is so crazy. I'm
going to dorm this is like not the normal setup. I'm still
going to be going home and filming videos for you guys just
because I don't want all my videos with this gorgeous storm
background. But let's start with priming. We're gonna moisturize
my face. I'm still learning where I keep everything
but I want to just kind of talk I will say moisturizing is
critically important. You guys
about my first well I got back from Fiji and I have a little
bit of vlog footage. But I didn't get enough footage. So
I'm just going to make it into a weekly vlog and just include
what I got. Because I totally was spacing on vlogging but
that's okay. I was just enjoying my time there just using a
little tinted moisturizer. I'm not a big Foundation, girl.
This is so bad. There are people in the troll room actually
begging for you to play an Amy Goodman Democracy Now click.
They can't listen to this.
She talks a lot I didn't realize that. Listening to watching her
Yeah. Okay, well I had heard for but wishes going to college. Oh,
come
on, let's we might as well do it. So this is her going to
college aware and
like self conscious. She got scammed into college, and now
she's happy to be going
my life. But since I'm going to college, I need to work on just
seeing the good people before I think everyone's just an
asshole. Because people are really nice. And I just don't
give anyone a chance. So this question is like, such a big
question I get so I'm going to answer it. Will you be attending
college? And if not, what's the next step on your career you
wish to focus on? So I'm doing both I'm going to be attending
college. If you know where I'm going. Please just don't comment
it down below. I just don't want to deal with that.
Oh, I don't want to deal with that. So my life is so horrible.
I'm so famous. My colleagues use me. Yeah, I can't listen. Do you
mind if we not play the rest? It's, it's fine. That a couple
of things about so
full of herself. It's like ridiculous. I mean, it's, you
kind of have some sort of us. I hate to say this, but and
there's a word for it for for kind of enjoying watching
someone suffer from Shada. Yeah, exactly. It's a fine German
word. Well, there's only the Germans would have a word.
A couple of things going on with this one. Of course, we never
want to let a good crisis go to waste. So now Jared Kushner is
Harvard acceptance is being questioned. Let's dig into that.
Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure he's privileged. And I'm sure all
these things happen. What's what's beautiful about this is
it's it's really it's out in the open and, and, and there's no,
there's no way around it. And everyone can
just add to stop on the Kushner thing. All right, please.
Kushner, and Harvard is very well known at Harvard, and Yale,
to some extent, maybe as much as Harvard and probably Princeton.
But Harvard, I know for a fact because I know a lot of Harvard
Guardians is very much into the practice of if you're an alumni.
In other words, you dad went to Harvard, you can get your kid
in, right? This is the stuff I was talking about earlier.
That's what you were talking about earlier. And that's very
common at schools like Harvard. Sure, and it's not corrupt
practices. What we're talking about here is people phoning up,
you know, they take in an essay DSAT was another element of this
where somebody else actually took your tests, or they changed
your scores, or you got beggars, this other element is, is fraud.
Now I'm assuming that Loughlin and Huffman and Macy and the
rest end up with husband and Masimo they weren't alumni as of
anything, as far as I can tell.
No, no. In fact, it was to let our kids have the college
experience they couldn't afford.
There was that at the floor? They didn't have time. Yes,
yeah, whatever. That's different. That's that is that
they fraudulently got their kids into these schools, and they
will get booted out. That's hugely different than somebody
having pull at Harvard, because they have a building named after
him. They're an alumni. And they have a kid that wants to go to
Harvard. That's different. That's a that's a different.
That's correct. May be corrupted some level, but that's the
that's a standard practice. So this Kushner thing is just a
nonsense creation. Yeah, but
no, no, no, it's orange MAN bad. It's just just just to lump it
in you know, we've got to do something with it. We can't We
can't blame try to blame somebody. And also, how easy are
these schools? These kids graduate?
Yes, some of them have.
So this this must be a pretty this. I don't know about this
education. What I like about this thing in general, is that
now parents can like I think your your parents probably said
it to you and my bike, Mike hear it every day in my mom's voices.
Life is not fair.
You know, my parents have actually never said that. Oh, I
got that all the time. But guess what, life's not fair. Yeah. And
it's true. And here's proof of it. It's not fair. There's
nothing you can do to make this more fair. But there's something
under underneath all of this, which is not being addressed,
although I did get a clip here from Professor Woodson. He's a
black professor has started the Woodson Institute, I guess. And
he was on Fox and he said, child abuse. I really
think it's amounts to child neglect and and child abuse. We
are raising children in an entitlement, mentality and
environment where they feel entitled and so their parents,
one of the most important books that I read about this and I
commend to you viewers is Richard watch his book, fables
of fortune, what rich people have that you don't want. And
the sequel to that is entitled mania when he talks about the
entitlement mentality, the very fact that we are exhibiting
these children for the opportunity to be agents of
their own uplift. And as a consequence, people places like
Palo Alto have a suicide rate that is six times the national
average among teenagers. There are people in that community are
wearing safety vests at railroad crossings because of a high
number of teenagers that feel the stress of meeting
expectations. So I think it's worse than that, that this old
entitlement mentality that also exists among low income blacks
where the highest death rate is from Homicide, because
reparations is the moral equivalent of what these parents
are doing.
We'll get to reparations later, but you know, I agree with him.
This, of course, this is child abuse. I totally charged with
this. Yeah. And if anything, locked the parents up for child
abuse?
Well, I think again, Olivia Jade, for example, probably
could have gotten into USC, just based on the on her, not,
because she's a YouTube celebrity, but she's got a lot
of initiative to be doing what she's doing. And she could have
gotten in if she put it in your mind to it, but no, no, they had
to cheat her into the place.
Unbelievable. Really is?
Well, again, it's USC. Well, it's not just a USC
contributors. I'm sure we have a few.
But it's also UT Austin. It's
a whole bunch of got busted.
With the tennis, the tennis professor. Ah, yes. Well, I
think it's good. This stuff needs to be out in the open. And
people need to see it for and recognize it for what it is. I
wonder what's going to happen. I think they're going to focus on
the actresses and then endorse all attention is going away from
very wealthy people. We're talking, you know, billionaire
level, people. Interestingly, you see that list, what kind of
people could afford this kind of money to?
Well, this is one or two got really, really raped. I mean, $6
million, or big bonuses, a billion dollars to some coach. I
mean, it was ridiculous when other people were weren't paying
that much. Yeah. Let's see who did Who did we? How dumb were
these kids as well always look at it.
You know, I don't even think they're dumb. This is at this
point, it's probably just something that you know,
is gonna Junior, what's wrong with some elites kid going to a
junior college, community college or going to a small
state universally
unacceptable. The parents will get weird looks at the parties
that you know, what I need to speak with about this is the
former New York banker. So I have reached out to him for a
hey, let's have lunch. He moved to Austin for his kids. He
wanted to get out of that system. And that truly is the
reason. It's like there is that
element, especially back east Mr. The school. Oh, yeah. Oh,
oh, he's going to what City College of New York instead of
Swarthmore. I thought I was gonna
do the promotion not coming this year from the bank.
So yeah, there's that element. And that's got nothing to do
with the kids. And I think a lot of kids would benefit from going
to a good city college in New York's a good school. There's a
lot of those around the country that are
just never gonna happen. That's not how it works. Forget it.
This is this is this is not a it's not even about the school.
It's about prestige. And it's and it's setting your kids up
for failure. Really?
Yeah, well, they will have issues when they get older. Yes,
unless they stabbed the parents.
If I jump over to like the jump over to that, Woodson, Professor
woods, and again, because this reparations thing, we've talked
about it a few times,
yes. It always shows up. And it tries to get to let it try to
try to get tries to get legs during the Republican
administration. Where was the reparations push during Obama's
era? Black president?
Well, here is we'll start with Kamala Harris, who was not
African American. So would she even have claim that she's a
brown woman, but not African American? She's Indian,
Jamaican, and raised in Canada. And here she is on the topic. It
means a little bit different things to different people. But
I think generally the idea is the same.
One of the Democratic presidential candidates is
floating an idea. It's a way to pay reparations for slavery and
racial discrimination. Several candidates have endorsed that
notion, although they're rarely giving specifics. Senator Kamala
Harris also says the matter needs study, but an autonomous
Then PR she did say,
before we continue, isn't the original reparations based on
the promise of 40 acres and a mule. Was that the was that the
idea? Is that where this stems from?
I don't think so.
Okay,
just what's on her mind?
Sure. You can look at.
I left that in just for that in just for you. Sure, sure. Sure.
Sure. You can look at the issue. No rule says that Lizabeth
Warren, she does that all the time. Sure. You love.
Untreated undiagnosed trauma. African Americans have higher
rates of heart disease and high blood pressure. And it is
environmental. It is centuries of slavery, which was a form of
violence, where women were raped where children were taken from
their parents violence associated with slavery. And
that never, there was never any real intervention to break up
what had been generations of people experiencing the highest
forms of trauma. And trauma, undiagnosed and untreated, leads
to physiological outcome
was talking about the same thing as post traumatic stress from a
war, that's
when unless there's intervention done, it will appear to be
perhaps generational, but it's generational only because the
environment has not experienced a significant enough change. To
reverse the symptoms. You need to put resources and direct
resources, extra resources into those communities that have
experienced that trauma reference, as an example
reparation, my mind to health treatment, and reparations, that
the word, the term reparations, it means different things to
make different. But what I mean by it is that we need to study
the effects of generations of discrimination and institutional
racism and determine what can be done in terms of intervention to
correct course.
All right. So there you go. centuries of slavery have led to
post traumatic stress disorder for today's African Americans.
It needs to be research, he says, but yes, we need to put
resources into that. Now back to Professor Robert woods, this
spinning wheel spinning out right now. But there's there's
real talk about money in doing this
plus, I mean, though, do you have to realize that the
sociologists of this country, and when somewhat the world some
way? Well, Louis, I think we have most of them have been
doing this, since they've been cranking through this, this
research forever.
So here is back to Professor Robert Woodson, again, African
American professor
is the most ridiculous proposal that I ever had heard. First of
all, it's important to deconstruct it a little bit
reparations, you know, the question is, who pays and who,
who gets paid? People don't realize that. This slavery,
there were blacks who owned slaves as well, there were 3700
blacks,
by the way, as a white guy, you never get to say this. And
Publix is a third rail of racial discussions. If you say, hey,
hey, man, there were black slave owners
that owned 12,000 slaves, not three tribes, the Chickasaws
tribes, the Creek Indians, they own 3500 slaves. So the question
for me and for the audience should be well, who pays to the
sons and daughters of those blacks and Native Americans that
own slaves? Do their ancestor do they pay? And so it's it's a
little more complicated than people are making? What about
the whites who came here after slavery? What about the hundreds
of 1000s? Who died? Fighting again, in the Civil War? Who
never own slaves? Right. And so I just think that we ought to
take this into consideration when we're talking about
slavery. It's also providing exemption from personal
responsibility, with all of the problems that black America has
for someone to say that the answers to those challenges are
external. Let's just say we accept the premise that
reparations should be paid. What problem does it solve? If Weiss
played blacks money on Monday, and we come back two weeks
later? What would be the impact on black on black crime? What
will be the impact of drug addiction about the high dropout
rate? And so I just think it's it's lethal for for us to just
talk about a simplistic remedy. So we can do virtue signaling on
the issue of race and appear to be champions.
That's the American way though. We solve everything with money.
Where's he from? Climate change money, is everything solved with
money, but it is part of this pandering? to a younger
demographic, who are coming up in the voting age as the college
kids who can vote
and the 18 was, this new group does Zoomers Zoomers? Yeah. Oh,
Generation Z. Yes.
And and we got to note about that about it did and you know
what, when I read that note, even though it's a well known
producer, and he's donated and he's been around woman, was it
worthwhile
Don? Maybe it was the one bitching and moaning Yeah, but
Well, I said producer that I don't remember if it was man or
woman. Do I have the note here? No, I haven't here. No, I have a
little you care? No, slave D. John and Adam. I'm a longtime
listener. This is how much I care. I put it in the show
notes. I'm a longtime listener contributor of the show with
multiple executive producer credits. I love you both do and
have nothing but respect for the incredible work you both do.
However, I'm not sure what's going on with the two of you
that you have completely missed the biggest news story of this
current campaign cycle. Andrew Yang, he's a former. I'm reading
with emphasis.
He's already with the right you're reading as it was
written? Yes,
I believe. He's a former CEO and political outsider with a
rapidly growing grassroots movement that crossed party
lines in terms of support and neither of us seem to be on the
ball here. Andrew Yang just spoke at South by Southwest and
has been interviewed by Joe Rogan Sam Harris Tucker Carlson,
the Young Turks as reclined Freakonomics, CNBC, CBS business
side, and about 900. More since he announced his candidacy for
POTUS in February, his campaign just raised over $1 million, and
has now crossed the 65,000 individual donor threshold
needed to get him into the Democratic debates in June.
Where the hell are you on this? Disappointed as fuck slave D.
Now, when I read this, if if slave D had not said, I'm a
producer, I would have thought this is a campaign notice.
This it looks like it looks like it was copy paste. Yes.
Looks like a copy paste. And I take this very seriously.
So hold on a second. It doesn't mean oh, she and he or whatever.
Slave just laid back on there. There are $4 a week contributor
for the last couple of years. That's fantastic. Executive
Producers I can't find any but it's possible maybe in 2017 It's
not matter era but but that looked like cut and paste to me
too. It felt like you're in the end she she or he may be part of
a of the group that's promoting this guy clearly. And they were
all told to do this. And that's okay. Because it's fine with me.
It listen it was it was a it was a wake up notice. I like getting
it.
And let me tell you what I do. I went looking for Andrew Yang.
Oh, I already knew about this guy. He's because I'm just doing
my breakdown of all the candidates. He's a third tier
guy. He's got no chance of going anywhere. And he's like a huge
climate change nut completely off the deep end bitching and
moaning about all the hurricanes more than ever.
That is not his primary platform. I that's what I
thought is where
I'm every platform is Hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Just be quiet hold the lead in Go.
His Why are the Zoomers so interested? Why are they all in
on this? And it fits in with the climate change. It fits in with
other issues that are taking place and I went to the tonight
show of of our era of the Zoomers, I went to Joe Rogan
first question out of the box. His platform is
universal basic income. This is what this is all about. Yes,
yeah. That's what my campaign for president is all about.
That's a an interesting, like, focus of a campaign in a very
unusual and I mean, four years ago, you'd never even thought
that that would have a chance at all. But this is a subject that
has been gaining momentum. Listen to Rogan. Listen What
Rogan says here and Tim and I made I made a big shift because
I had my friend Eddie Wong on once and he was the first person
to bring it up and my initial knee jerk reaction was get the
fuck out here, like universal basic income, just gonna give
people money. They're just going to be lazy. Nothing's ever going
to get done. That's a terrible idea. And then I started paying
attention to the rise of AI and automation and how many jobs are
going to get taken away? And then once you see the actual
numbers, it's pretty
staggering. So I'm gonna have like a minute left on this clip.
But this is what has been going on with with college kids or
with the Zoomers, as they're called, is they've been beaten
into fearful submission of the earth collapsing on top of them.
AI is taking over you'll have no job Shut up slave and instead of
looking at other innovations that could take place sort of no
other black swans, you name it or the actual reality of robots
on the road. Rogen bought into it listen to the whole
interview, it's about an hour at two hours. And based on some
prognostications, like, the solution is, well, you know,
because we're gonna have these, these kids, you know, these,
these kids won't have any jobs. So we got to give them some
money so they can be creative, and create great art. Here's the
next minute.
Yeah. And that's how I got there, Joe, like I spent the
last seven years running an organization that I had started
called Venture for America. And we helped create about 3000 jobs
in Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Birmingham, New Orleans,
other cities around the country. And I saw that we're pouring
water into a bathtub that has a giant hole ripped in the bottom.
And that for every 510 50 jobs that my entrepreneurs are going
to create, we're going to lose 510 50,000 jobs. It's not
something that people intuitively suspect could be a
real issue either. It's one of the ones where you kind of have
to like go shake people like, Hey, look at this, this is
common, there's a cliff, we're going towards this cliff. It's
darker still. And that. So when I was digging into the numbers,
I found that it's not this cliff that we're heading towards, it's
actually more of a curve that we're on. What I've been telling
people is that we're in the third inning now, where one of
the main reasons why Donald Trump won in 2016 is that we
automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs that were
based in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa,
all
we really was that automation, or did a lot of a go to China.
It's bull crap, most
of it went overseas. Yeah, this is that's little Chinese
children aren't taking taking our little children's jobs.
They're the ones gluing the shoes together. So that's not
me. Sure, there's automation. But that's, that's not all,
because of automation is always
factored in. Yeah, just to make this clip more tolerable. I'm
gonna interrupt with this when I was a kid, and I'm a baby
boomer. So when I was a kid, we were actually told this, this is
not a new idea. And I'm very familiar with it. Because we
were told when I was a kid, when we're taught, and we had real
classes on history, American history, we're not a lousy
country, we're a great country, all this kind of thing, we were
told that this country would eventually be run by robots and
everything be automated, because it's gonna be everything he has
to get more and more toward the future, we're gonna have less
and less people, less and less of these horrible jobs, these
horrible assembly line jobs. And by the way, I think a lot of the
movement of taking jobs out of the United States and sending
them to China was stemming from this sort of belief that digital
news assembly line jobs are terrible. And I've worked on
assembly lines, a couple of them, and they're terrible, but
you get a lot of money. But that's beside the point, the
idea was, is all gonna go away. And then we all going to live in
his giant socialist, even though it was never called that. But
some sort of an environment where you have where all the
money is, the giant corporations make all this money off, because
there isn't robots instead of people and they'd be
distributing the wealth. It's apparent to me looking back on
it that the same kind of problems we have with the
educational system existed back then. But because that's
nonsense, in many ways, because no one was going to give up this
money. I mean, if you look at any venture capitalist,
capitalist, you know, they're just as soon fire everybody in
the company if they could, and keep all the money for
themselves. Yeah. And that's kind of the way the system
works. And you can condemn it or not condemn it, or you can crash
the market now take care of that. Well, I
find it somewhat short sighted. Because humans are known to come
up with great new technological inventions. And just to say,
Well, that's it, we're done, robots take over. And you can
all sit at home and smoke weed. Which I kind of liked that idea
myself. But you know, that it just doesn't seem like there's
any room for any
integration room. See, the beer cans. And I mean, this is the
problem is,
here's the here's where Yang runs into trouble because this
was a deconstruction of Yang, you can't be for easy. I'll just
call it easy immigration, if you have universal basic income, if
you have universal basic income in your country, you need a
moat, a moat with alligators and booby traps, because everyone
will want to come in. Yeah, like hey, can go there. And that will
that will be a problem. So Yang is not talking about the other
side of his universal basic cable, which I think is that's
what I'm for. Everybody gets universal basic cable. That's
better than the whole income.
Yeah, no, you have to have a very strict, no immigration
policy in fashion because
you do not have the course you do. But that's not what Yang is
for. And that's not discussed in that I can recall in this
interview, but
that would be the gotcha. And if Rogen was doing his job, he
would have called him out on that.
Well, think about this. It's actually not such a bad idea.
Because all these people who apparently there's no job for
also are afraid and don't want any kids that just gonna sit
home take care of their dogs. And within two generations,
they're all gone and dead and only the productive necessary
people are left over. So that's it's also kind of maybe a good
thing. It's a natural order working itself,
if the nihilism kicks in, which is seems to do easily,
especially with the younger generations. But I think that
may have been the case, years ago, too, I'm not sure that any
of this is, is new. There's some other structural thing that
needs to be fixed. And I'm not sure what it is, but it's
definitely it's definitely not solved by shipping all the
companies and jobs overseas.
No, no, but I think it's just it's just also poor economics.
Just not just really not understanding even where we're
at and how realistic a lot of this stuff is. The only thing I
see a valid argument in is truck drivers. That I think is I think
there will we will see autonomous trucks eventually,
maybe not in your in my lifetime, because it takes so
long for this to work without a driver. And even then you're
gonna have one driver, you know, scanning 3040 different trucks.
Oh,
you get here's the real problem. You get the teamsters union.
Another issue to start, you know, popping holes in tires,
running trucks off the road, putting IEDs on the road. Yeah,
baby. I mean, it's not going to work because of that is that
there's too many truck drivers are aren't going to put up with
the getting, a lot of them are already getting screwed one way
or another by Mexican drivers that are allowed to drive on our
roads.
And so really, the universal basic income is a globalist plan
to shut people up while they're lively, their lives are being
taken away. So you want to do you want to protest? I'll tell
you what, we'll just give you some money. Don't don't protest
Shut
up and get over go over there. Now, here's the one of the other
issues I have with universal basic income, which I I know, I
know, has been voted down in college. I think Switzerland
voted they had a referendum. They said no,
they experimented with it. One of the camps they started again,
they started again, but the town and season Stockton, California
trying that now, I don't know EU countries have rejected it. It's
not necessarily cut and dry system that works. But people
are
subject to fraud of is not universal, actually universal.
So you have a real problem there. In other words, you can't
do it in some spots, because people are just gonna come over
there. My check to exactly. But if you have everybody getting a
basic $4,000 Is that and I'd like to talk to some macro
economic economists about this world that just jack everything
up. But what is now the base level of being broke? Oh, no,
it's
better than that.
$1,000 No, no,
it's better than that. The $4,000 comes in, where does that
go to it goes to the same people who are automating, namely
Amazon, if people are going to spend their money on more shit
from Amazon. So the guys who automate when it's almost like
free tax money. And for the weed dealers, of course.
Yes, well, actually, that's true. That's where the money
would go right to the people who would? Who caused
Yes, who caused the problem. It's so Yang is really a
globalist prick.
Well, I look over his whole platform, not just those three
items he has on his front page and the rest of it. I think he's
probably a globalist prick. I would say that's probably true.
Seems like it to me and he's got his you know, he's got his
million dollars you know, they are note writer pointed out and
it's 65,000 individuals contribute so he can be on the
debate stage. He says go on the debate stage and it's going to
be just another another guy that won't be on the debate stage two
debates later, right. He can't keep up the pace he's nobody's
gonna go. It's not know the guy's third tier. He's not
that's why we never discussed them. Yeah, I knew all about
him. I saw a couple of specials on him. He's got a good
publicist. That's for sure. But he's not is just a bit it's kind
of a hobby nominee.
Well, Elizabeth Warren is running her campaign that's
definitely a hobby at this point. I don't know why she's
still in the first year in my opinion. Well, she's got to be
wasting your money but she's she's got she's got a message
that I think is accurate, but falls on deaf ears. People don't
really want to understand, you know, the, the deal we make with
Silicon Valley and the tech companies and a quick clip of
that. Sure. See, I told you this is about your seen her in her
platform she now speaks of breaking up the Silicon Valley
tech companies.
Sure. Let's use the example have Amazon, Amazon runs two kinds of
businesses. One is it runs a platform. And that's the place
where all the small businesses come and they trade and they
buyers and sellers meet. And Amazon runs that platform. But
also tons of
hey, stop stopped. I want to I want you to start over because I
want to put a preface in here. Okay. Now breaking up companies,
I used to write a lot of columns about breaking up Microsoft, the
rationale for breaking up a company is, is that the company
is unfairly leveraging everything they do in a very
monopolistic manner or some way that gives them a distinct
advantage, right. Microsoft was a good example this because they
would they would bundle of the Explorer and the or they and
they use the Microsoft operating system, it worked best if you
Lotus got bumped off because Lotus is or excels. Something
about Windows isn't ready and or something. There's a rhyme to
Windows isn't done until Lotus won't run.
Okay. That's your developer mantra. Yeah,
yeah. And so they had this and they did that because they had
Excel. And so they would you know, so you're leveraging all
these different things into one monopolistic practices
operation. Amazon's got two things, more or less, they've
got a retail store. And AWS. They're not leveraging one,
they're not using those two items to leverage the company.
If they didn't have AWS, they just have their own back end.
Well, this is not what she's talking about. Interestingly.
Well, I thought she wanted to split off AWS. No,
that is not what she wants to do. No,
this is what the hell does she want to do with Amazon? Well,
let's have a listen. Okay, sorry.
I'm sorry. Ignore the Preface. No, no, no,
you you make a very valid point. That's why I've typically
ignored what she has to say. I'd kind of ignore her in general.
But I wanted to hear the breakup of big tech and what her
rationale was. So can you tell us, Liz?
Sure. What's your example of Amazon, Amazon runs two kinds of
businesses. One is it runs a platform. And that's the place
where all the small businesses come and they trade and they
buyers and sellers meet. And Amazon runs that platform, but
also sucks out tons of information from every single
transaction, it then uses that information that nobody else is
privy to, to look out and say, oh, there's a profitable
business, we think we'll go into competition with them. And so it
then puts out a product in competition with the pillow
sales guy, and then moves the profitable business back to page
six, and puts Amazon right at the front Amazon's own business.
So the way I see this a little like baseball, we'll use a
baseball analogy here. You can be the umpire, that's the
platform. Or you can have a team in the game that's running these
individual businesses that need on the platform. But you don't
get to do both simultaneously. So I think those ought to be
broken apart.
I think she has a point here because that is something Amazon
actively participates in. I've heard plenty of horror stories.
It's even worse. Yeah, it's almost like a D platforming.
Yeah, Microsoft used to do that pull that stunt. I mean, and
you know, Apple, you serious after Sure. It's the lexicon all
the hip, kids are saying it's sure sure. That's the show
title. Sure. Apple will find something that's popular. You
know, hey, this is a this is a great little application, they
will create it themselves, stick it right in the OS, and screw
you independent developer. That happens and this Amazon, this
Amazon D platforming, it really does happen. But I'm baffled by
the idiocy of all. Yeah, I understand that. It's a great
way to make money but the future lies in the decentralized nature
of the internet, you can stick up a webpage, you can get paid.
If you if you are daring enough, you'll use Pay Pal, but you
could actually use Bitcoin or other things. It is a this is
why I think Amazon should not be broken up. I think not for this
reason. I think that the vendors, it would be just like
Uber, it would not be hard to create a cooperative system that
everybody could use done. Yeah,
I agree. But let's stop for a second and how do you use what
is what is this? They can be regulated but not but broken up?
What do you what do you break them into?
Well, these those can be broken into little bits. Just because
it'd be fun to watch or you can't. It's all integrated. It's
it's their business, it is their actual business. And they have a
big advertising business too. So yeah, I mean, but that can be
circumvented so easily. Any provider could say, You know
what, I'm not going to deal with Amazon. They're a holes. I'm
going to do it over here. Now, will you get the promotion of
Amazon? No, but you know how hard it is to make ask Eric the
she'll, how hard is it to make money on Amazon?
It's hard.
They take a lot to say all kinds of stocking issues. And it's
just it's not, it's not simple to deal with them. But you got
to be there. And I'd say no, reject it. Maybe one of those
universal basic income kids will come to the decentralized Amazon
like platform, it's not unthinkable.
Well, Amazon has done a pretty good job of putting it all
together.
Of course they have and they have 25, what 25 years almost
get better. They didn't just start yesterday.
So what what other people in Congress are doing although, you
know, Elizabeth White's a great little talking point, break him
up. Hahaha, you know, they, they took down her Facebook ads, and
subsequently, Facebook had to go off air for most of the day.
Another OTG thing, do you know how many companies lost money?
Because they rely on Facebook, their company web pages?
I think that's dumb. Yes, of course, it's done. Is it to have
your own web page.
But the dumb part is that people do not they, they're not the
first one. They have no vision. But they have not been taught
what the internet is to most people today, who have not
witnessed the rise and went through the personal computer
revolution or have not just not been taught not read about it
have not been taught. They think that just like AOL used to be I
got the internet. Yeah, I'm good. I got AOL. Was it really
the internet? No, not really key word, you got two key words. But
it Google is not the only place to search it when you get the
same result? I don't know. I haven't used it in two years.
And I get interesting results at work. Sometimes I have to resort
to Google for certain newsworthy item. But otherwise, now, I can
get it from other places. It's just not necessary. It's like do
your email doesn't have to be just from Gmail. But no, this is
being just not being taught. That's the universe if the
universities would teach some of that I'd be okay with the social
justice crap. But they don't.
And then we have actually stunned by this. Just, I think
it's like one of the most important things that
universities nuts teach
kids how to set up a webpage, just teach them how to set up
that teach them how to set up a Linux box,
high school stuff, not University stuff. When the
seventh and eighth grade even you could put up a web page this
is
this is a note to homeschoolers, a part of your homeschooling
curriculum should be your kids should be able to start up a
server, a web server, how about that? Just a web server and
publish a page and register a domain name and map it?
Yeah, you could do it on the home computer. Of course. There
was a popular your your ISP would not be happy but you can
still do it for as just an exercise.
There was a very good C span televised questioning of a very
stupid guy and the wrong guy. And this is a typical we're
gonna we're gonna haul in before the Senate thing was the the
judicial oversight for some reason. Senator Harley,
Republican from Missouri, was questioning Mr. De Friess, a
Google Scholar who they sent to Washington to be the slaughter
of the lambs and to be slaughtered. And man, did he get
slaughtered. And this is all an
lol on back off. I didn't catch this. So wait a minute. So
Google now has you think they're just laughing about this at
Google HQ.
The Google Scholar Program has been around for a couple of
years. That's been around for a while. Really? Yeah. And you go
and lecture and you become important. And I think you get a
badge, you get maybe a sash
out of USC,
Google Scholar. This is about the, you know, Google's
practices in one area only. And that's the clips I have for you
for today. And it's the most important area I have learned
through my OTG experiments. Experiments is location. What is
your location, your location tells who you're with what
you're doing. If you're at the doctor's office, if you're
shopping, all these things, locations is the number one
Google's foundation is based on keyhole. That's where they
really got their the goods from is and that was the the
geospatial database and the mapping system. And location is
the most important thing Google does. And so this guy attacks He
attacks the scholar about their practices.
I'm concerned about the implicit bargain that consumers are being
asked to ratify, by which they get supposedly free services,
but actually had enormous amounts of personal data
extracted for them without knowing what exactly is going
on. And mystery of reason I'd like to focus on begin, at least
with you and your company, the largest, arguably most powerful
company in the world, I noted your testimony, your written
testimony, you say for over 20 years now, our flagship products
have been free. And then you go on to the next paragraph, that
Google clearly explains how it makes money and clearly explains
how your products use personal information. And my question is,
is that really true? Are any of those statements actually true?
So let's, let's take some examples. Let's start with
location tracking. Let's start with your Android phones. Do you
think the average consumer would be surprised to learn that her
location is recorded and sent to Google hundreds of times every
day, even when she is not using her phone?
Thank you, Senator. I do think we take as strong an effort as
possible to try to explain these things. Clearly. I understand
that it's it's complicated the way a mobile phone
and I think that she would, do you think she would be surprised
to learn that even when she's not using the phone, and Android
phone, Google is receiving information about where she is,
for instance, it's every four minutes or 14 times an hour,
roughly 340 times during a 24 hour period, that's without use
of the phone, do you think she'd be surprised to learn that?
So Senator, I know that location information is absolutely core
to making a mobile phone work the way that you want it to
work. And to make this what makes maps work is what's makes
your phone calls be able to be routed correctly. And we have an
optional service that's opt in called location history, which
can collect location over time, if people turn that on,
he described it perfectly. They track your location, they have
an optional service, which says you're turning off location
history, you're not good. And that's the point that the
senator doesn't understand. Because legally, they're saying,
you are now opting out, you're turning off your history. So
that one application which enables you to see your history,
it doesn't work anymore. But no, nowhere do they even claim that
that location services are turned off. So this is a
surprise to the senator. And he takes the very simple route of
well, it's ads, the guy fumbles on this one. Whereas of course,
as I said earlier, what you can actually do with location, and
especially if there's things like accelerometer to know if
you're taking the bus, walking, sitting up in bed, doing all
that stuff, Google knows,
let's just let's just get that on the record. Google collects
geolocation history and information, even if location
history is turned off. Do you think that an average consumer,
let's say a teenager with an Android phone would be surprised
to learn that Google is tracking his location, even when location
services are turned off? turned off? By scanning Wi Fi networks
around him throughout the day? Do you think you'd be surprised
by that?
Senator, I know that this data is used to provide value back to
the user to make the phone work, you're not
really there value for value. Now, all of a sudden,
questions you're telling me you don't think a consumer should be
surprised you think they should anticipate that they have
location services turned off?
Well, Senator, so in order to make say maps work to be able to
locate you and give you directions where you go maps
needs to know where you are, the phone is off? Well, it's in
order to be able to just perform basic functions to keep its
location services or off, indeed, center in order to be
able to know what where it is, so it can route phone calls to
us. So it can collect the basic information
the consumer cannot meaningfully opt out. I mean, he has gone and
tried to turn location services off. He's not using his phone,
it's still communicating and sending information.
Is he claiming that the Google Location Services is how they
can route a call to you? The cell phone network itself?
He's trying
Buddha? Is that what he said
the way I understood his comment there is, well, you know, phones
need this. It was kind of pushing it off on the on the
network provider? Well, you know, they need to know where
you are in order to route a call the implying that, that the the
location of the cell towers is critical. Because yeah, if
you're not within range you can't be reached, but that they
also have that data. That's what it implies to me that Google
knows what cell you're connected to
various cell towers. But it's got absolutely nothing to do
with Google.
No, but Google has that data too. They know what cell tower
you're talking about. Every
day, every data point they can grab. But but this guy is
bullshitting him and Hey, he's
a scholar. He's a Google Scholar. I wonder if there's a
college I can buy my way into versus off.
He's not using his phone, it's still communicating and sending
information to you. And you're monetizing it, and using it to
direct ads at him. Correct?
We are not using that information to direct ads at him
now. So
this is Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wait for it to provide value
back to the user in terms of making their services operate.
You don't use the information? What do you do with that
information?
We use it to make sure that the we understand it's not a
monetary value to you. There is some ways that location can be
used for ads. So for instance, your IQ, I thought you just said
it wasn't user. centered. There's there's there's the kind
of geolocation that's sent from the cell towers from your GPS
device that's used for purposes that are really about making the
phone operate. I'm happy to explain this in more detail. I
understand. It's a complicated topic, and we're gonna get it
better and
complicated, right? This is how he keeps reaching back and
saying, we tell everybody this, you know, in the all caps
portion of the EULA, we tell everybody about that we need to
communicate better.
I think when somebody turns off their user information, their
location history, they expect the location tracking to be off.
But it's not in fact, they don't have a way apparently.
So yeah, this is on C span. So it makes it into zero news. No
one hears about it. You know, obviously producers of this show
know what's going on. He's gonna wrap it up here and spank the
guy now that he's got him over his knee.
Do you think that an average consumer who's using your
products fully understands that Google builds a profile about
her tracks where she goes to work tracks where her boyfriend
lives tracks where she goes to church tracks when she goes to
the doctor? Do you think that an average consumer would
anticipate that?
Senator, I know that we have a duty to communicate this
information? Clearly, I don't believe we track the information
that level without communicating, you
think you're communicating it clearly when a consumer cannot
turn off their location tracking?
Senator, you can turn off location tracking, there are
aspects of location, though, that are necessary to make
services work, where if we turn those off, your phone wouldn't
work the way you'd expect? And I know that's a complicated
subject to explain it is. And we're trying hard and we hope
it's actually it's not complicated. What's complicated
is you don't allow consumers to stop your tracking of them, you
tell them that you do, you would anticipate that they do a
consumer would have a reasonable expectation based on what you've
told them, that they're not being tracked. But in fact,
you're still tracking it. You're still gathering the information.
And you're still using it by the way all of this is just fun.
We're not even talking about search or or internet tracking.
I've been listened my time was almost expired. Or we could talk
about the the internet tracking the Google performs. We could
talk about the lack of consent, here's my basic concern is that
Americans have not signed up for this. And they think that the
products that you're offering them are free, they're not free.
They think that they can opt out of the of the tracking that
you're performing. They can't meaningfully opt out. It's kind
of like that, that old Eagles song you know, you can check out
anytime you like, but you can never leave.
And then that's too bad. So you ruined it there for me. Yeah.
That was ruined. ruined it for me there. This should have been
Sergey Brin or someone of importance never gonna go in
front of these guys. No, they send the Google scholars now you
know what, that's all about. Leave the lamb to slaughter and
of course it's not picked up anywhere.
I mean, we'd love to see Larry Page Up there. Yeah, that'd be
fantastic. Both Hey Jimbaran but yeah to build a case against
against these guys in some very high level and then they get
ahead then they can make these guys show up.
Good luck with that. Number one lobbyists lobbyists in DC is
Google. They've got everybody in their pocket however with that,
I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to
you the man who put the C in college admission scams John
in the morning you Mr. Adam Karina miles on the ground feet
near subs in tonight's out
in the morning to everyone in the troll room. Hello trolls so
helpful today. No agenda stream.com where you can listen
to the show live as we streamed on Thursdays and Sundays. That's
the other Thursday. And you can hand off one liners and give us
information and it's all kinds of stuff. It's highly
appreciated. Always good to see the 1000 or so people who were
in there every single time we do a show also I'd like to wish a
hearty in the morning. At to Darren O'Neill he has the three
peat the hat trick once again three in a row for the album
artwork for episode 1119. The title of that episode that was
from Sunday was hyper trending. And he did the film slate which
we liked who was the AOC film slate congressional candidate
casting call and director Alexander ROW Alexandra Rojas
producers the Justice Democrats it was good, very nice piece
although we had challenges finding anything else that we
really what was the there was one that was just it was really
I think was Nick the rat had a really good one. But he just
threw everything in the kitchen sink in there and it was but it
was too smooth. See If I can find it real quick. Yes, it was
here it is the AOC. So she had a rainbow in her hand, she was on
puppet string, she had a Donald Trump ecstasy pill. She had that
that crazy guys t shirt on. But just the strings weren't big
enough you couldn't see it, they couldn't see the string couldn't
see the strings well enough from from any, like an album art,
which is smaller than the submission is, because that was
very close. We liked that one a lot, too. It's just a, you just
couldn't quite see it. But anyway, we appreciate the work
that all of our artists do. And now I can see people already
putting stuff in for the for today without even knowing we're
talking about they're working on it. And there's some fantastic
artwork, it's well worth a visit to no agenda art generator.com.
And unlike Google, we do like the value for value system. And
we provide value we give you about the six hours a week worth
of content, people seem to enjoy that. And all we say is send us
anything that you felt equal the value you got. And that's how we
come up with a executive and Associate Executive producers at
the beginning of each show.
And we have a few people that take for as executive producers
and Associate Executive producers for show love and 20
and our buddy Esther animus of Dogpatch in Lower School
Bolivia, ah has been sent in $902.
Now today was is Pi Day. Which which meant we're looking for
30 133 point 1415 to nine something like that. Yeah. So we
have different donation amounts. How is the 902 derived? Did he
send a note that we could understand
that he doesn't really ever I think he's a code Denver's it's
a code to
someone else that we're we have no part of. Yeah, we're like,
we're like the crossword crossword puzzle on the New York
Times.
Yeah, but he doesn't even mention the donation. He just
says a long note, which says the following and we always read his
notes because they're very good. Thank you for the continued
deconstruction of the M five M brainwashing. The effort by
educators, politicians and media of all types to market ideas and
products is a remarkable and continuing continuing li refined
art form. Your hard work and business model offers listeners
a better way of being informed so thank you. Following on
John's comment about 1% of listeners donating I am proud to
be a one percenter where they are honored rather than
villainized. I can make an informed comment on the $100
bill circulation with the strong dollar is preferred
international currency it's not all about crime although us
payoffs do help. Many seasoned travelers of all nationalities
can carry hundreds to convert to local currency currencies as
needed while receiving the best exchange rate with weaker
currencies. Yes, you get a better exchange rate with with
with American money. I learned a model long ago that still
applies American hundreds don't leave home without
American Express traveler's checks. That's right. I remember
that.
A traveler's hence, make certain they are new and have no stray
marks or tears or they will be rejected. Many foreign banks
have an ink stamp to identify us hundreds they receive for local
currency so they can not be used again in place of the local
currency but are returned to the US. They're defacing our money.
Apparently, that's illegal illegal for Americans to do
that.
Just one thing about that one of our producers sent me a note
about this question and said that many modern ATMs modernized
ATMs now spit out one hundreds. Yeah, I've heard that. So that
could also be something that's come into play. Maybe
a little travel overkill for me lately. I have not had five
consecutive days in the same place since November. Wow.
That's that's traveling. And it's a bit tiring. grounding of
flights from drones at airports and bombings overseas. Were
almost a relief to me. Wow. As your show off and reinforces to
its listeners. All news is about perspective and grounding
flights. Help my sanity.
Just depends on where you are in life.
Yeah, I guess. And Jay, no jingles but I would like some
health karma for three people. leiomyosarcoma returns for a
family member living with us. Round three. Round three chemo

contribution following my tax payment and sharing the surplus
with you thank you. For all you do no jingles no karma that
50901 is $500 plus 901 as the date referenced below, oh, a
short additional note if I may. Like John, I believe in cycles,
including the cycle of life and indeed the cycle of the no
agenda producers. I will explain. On September 1 2018, we
lost my friend and fellow knights or Jeffrey of Camden who
succumbed to cancer. We know it was coming and if that can't,
and if the F cancer from you gave him an extra year give you
the donation in his honor as well as for your greater value.
However, I recently learned that we had gained a new producer at
about the same time, not realized by me but following a
visit to the USA to meet up with friends. I hit someone in the
mouth and would like to now I would now like a shout out to
Chad.

the lovely girlfriend Lauren Mahmood who made me aware she is
technically a douche. Oh, he is not her. She is he is
technically a douche. But I met his new so I welcome Chad who
didn't call him out who fills big shoe shoes. Please add them
if you can. Go Okay, nevermind do shim but gently as a
reminder, rather than a rebuke. How
do we do a gentle douche? I mean, it's kind of hard. It's
like, alright, well, here comes be prepared to change that. So
introduce gently meant that just gentle. Thanks for you.
Both you do. Thanks for everything. Thank
you very much for Topher of AAA.
Fabian Meyer in Zurich, Switzerland, we get another
switch. We get a lot of good Swiss coming in $350. He did
say, send an email and I have it open and
he says he has some fun facts about Switzerland in his note.
Rarely do I hear someone say I've got some fun facts about
Switzerland. Well, especially about Switzerland. Yes. What are
the fun facts?
I don't know. Do you have the Switzerland? He's got a payment
history. At the end of the note, maybe he's asking for a night
and you might want to get your pen out anyway. Since? Nope.
With this donation of 350 allergy night status, okay,
Pa Good to know. I'm glad I love
the show. I learned how to be woke in media great stuff to
discuss with my wife. She's also a fan. You play unexpected,

better jobs than in the EU. Well, I don't I don't find that
hard to believe. Guns popular with kids. The city of Zurich as
a holiday and big celebration called Naevus Knapp, Ben Chacin,
Nabbit knob and Jason. Every fall where 4500 boys and girls
in the ages 13 to 17 compete in shooting. The rifle is the
official Swiss Army Ordnance rifle. The winner gets a big
cash prize and a dinner with the mayor. If you work in Zurich,
you'll get half the day off because it's an official
holiday. That's a little different than here. This was
our respective arms. Insect burgers is number three sold in

People shy Paul, he is our no agenda Wi Fi night, which still
works I checked it out. The Wi Fi s people special no agenda
system is still operational but he is he's been offered a job at
a different airport. I won't say which one. So sadly he feels
that when two things will happen. One he won't have his
you know his three hour commute. He'll have like seven minutes.
So he feels that he won't be able to keep up with the show.
I'm thinking Come on man. You're at the airport. Yeah, what are
you really doing? What are you really doing? But also
eventually the staple Wi Fi access may will just expire but
we certainly appreciate everything is done and it's

Over words HERSA. Came in with 250 Obeah Associate Executive
producer from Blue Ridge, Georgia. He sent an email in
which I luckily found my checks are from the US but I live in
the Cayman Islands. This would be a great place for global
global get together. I work in the hotel business. A couple of
comments from show Oh really? Yeah, Cayman Islands would be
fun. to go to a couple of new we wouldn't get that many people
that would do it though it's kind of a
it's kind of an acquired taste is
to Lyon. There's nothing there but banks. A couple of comments
from shows over the past few months. I was in Paris, Rome and
Florence at the end of November. If the Chinese tourists stop
coming, Europe will go bankrupt through as especially Paris.
Yeah. Sainz still the same store company prices are up 40% off
off in Rome compared to Paris, they've
got there must be great deals going on. You think in Rome or
Paris? Paris? Says Rome, I think Paris would be better.
Well, we haven't been to Rome for a while. And neither one of
us. Well, I was I was in Italy recently. Yeah, but Rome is a
shopping
mecca. Yes. Well, actually, Florence is the shopping mecca.
That's all there is you got some statues and shit.
I'm assuming the prices should be low everywhere. But I don't
know. It seemed like every second commercial and Italian TV
was for Amazon and Black Friday. Black Friday thing has gone into
Yuan viral. I don't know how Amazon pulled that one global
man. Rome was very big on Black Friday. It is. It isn't easy
opening a bank account in the Cayman Islands coming opening
accounts here as a major pain due to all the information that
they asked for. Asked for heaven forbid that you try to open a
business account that can take months. I guess that's a tip for
anyone out. Yeah. Thanks for all the shows my wife and I really
enjoy them. Eric, thank you very much, sir Eric Hertha. And the

Yeah. Ditto. Sir David Foucault's zotoh piano
Gladstone, Missouri, we cut another one, just donating the
last classic example of your washi is the random number.
Right? Because they were two emails in a row. That's three.
Oh,
okay. Three in a row with that require looking up. Well, Sir
David has always he's donating frequently. So he does a lot.
What does he say
in my donation for show 1111 I asked for some F cancer karma
from beloved uncle Leo. Unfortunately, yesterday passed
away. So I was so I was that crazy uncle. He was that crazy
uncle we all have not the one in the attic. But the one that is
in is the character that attracts everyone to him. He is
a great father, a fantastic basketball coach, and school
graduate guidance counselor for generations of kids. In the
small New York town. The number of people he impacted is
immeasurable. For me, he was like a second father figure. I
lived with him for a time as a small child spent summers in
their home with my cousins got my first summer job had my first
surreptitious beers there, and so many other memories that I
now treasure that much more he will be eternally eternally and
intensely missed by all of our extended kooky family requests
an extra helping of cancer karma for all those others fighting
their own battles. Thanks and keep up the great work.

And above and our second segment and please consider supporting
the work at the following web internet dress.org/in. All
right, you know what's going on, you are down on all the 2020
candidates propagate
formula is this. We go out we get people in the mouth
so two things. Couple things of order one, I'm using the new
Microsoft doc which I which I acquired in order to remove some
of the glitch Enos, I haven't heard it yet. Of course, this is
the first test drive so I have no idea. Let's explain what this
is. Yes, I am using a Surface Pro six to run the show. And I
need a number of USB three ports. It comes with one I tried
a actually, let me see which one it was. I was using the heaviest
powered USB hub I could find that had the highest ratings and
anchor a and k er that I bought off of the Amazons but we still
had some glitch Enos and was like wow, just plug it in a
different order and I was recommended to get the dock
which I have done. And the dock adds an additional four ports I
was still missing one so i i did slap the MIDI controller and the
remote Logitech dongle on a little splitter. But in general,
all the heavy stuff, which is the drive etc is all running
through. And I have an external drive to I'm using a one
terabyte external drive. So that's also connected to USB 3.0
Whatever. But it's working. So so far, I have not heard any
glitches per se but we'll see
before you continue. Yes. Where does this plug into?
It plugs into the proprietary Microsoft Microsoft port. It's
the same place you plug in the power. Now you plug in this it's
a magnetic plug on the side of the surface. And
wait wait wait, you this this device is a magnetic plug. Yeah.
Geez.
Yeah, I'm very. I have a big piece of tape saying careful. It
wouldn't take much that if you hit that then yeah, and
then how many connectors are on it?
Why can't pull it out right now. And look. It's probably about
like 15 pins maybe? Well, it's Yeah,
yeah. That should do the trick. Yeah. So so far so good. And I'd
be cooler they wouldn't use a magnetic add five
pounds. That what? Yeah. So it had sorts of break at the
computer only weighs two pounds. is heavier than the computer.
The five pounds
you got to take a picture of this and send it to me and maybe
I'll put it in the newsletter so it's probably about to see what
this thing looks
like probably about three pounds and there's also an another
power thingy, although I
just straight Is it A? Is it a brick or a dongle, or what kind
of a power is the power power is a brick? A digital is a brick
and I got a brick in a brick I got. I got brick bricks.
I got two bricks. Yeah. But it's working, who cares? I gladly
offer up my shoulder to humanity. Because that's where
it goes on my shoulder. Now, some other important news. The
keeper and I signed and received keys yesterday for our new home.
Oh, good for you. And I want to thank our producers who have
been sending, like all kinds of new home stuff.
Oh, you've been getting? Gifts, housewarming gifts.
housewarming gifts. Yeah, there's this. I forget the name
of it. This is hole hook system that doesn't use you don't have
to put any holes in the wall. But somehow it sticks to the
wall to drywall.
Which I'm sure it does. Yeah, up to 40
pounds. In some some cases, it's quite quite interesting. When we
get the other day. We got like discount. So when one of our
producers works at an online
store in an apartment anymore, you can put holes in the walls.
Well, now that is our home and like I don't want to put in the
walls.
Because you can spackle them if you don't like yes, I
know. Yes, exactly. So you know, it's going to be an interesting
couple of months. We were going to be moving into the home in
April, we're going to get married in May. Although I have
to say we have decided not to have kids because of climate
change. So
yes, good idea. Because we don't need any because just the world
we're going to be living in is going to be fraught with
hurricanes.
If if we by any chance had a kid called the Guinness Book of
Records.
Yeah, well, there's that it's just different. Yeah. Like it.
Yeah, like the proclamation. Yes.
Okay, let's see. What do we have?
Oh, I got a lot of you have any couches?
Well, we have we're taking art. We have one couch. Yeah. You
have a couch? We have we have a couch? Yeah. Well, look, I'm not
asking for anything. But if anyone wants to send us a
refrigerator and a washer dryer, I'm all in a
nice folding chairs at Costco.
We're getting everything from Costco kidding me? Yeah. Yeah,
everything from Costco and then Tina buys it on a Nordstrom
credit card because you get North six times naughty points
or something like that. Oh, naughty points. 30. Points. Hey,
don't don't scoff the naughty points. Were buying my wedding
suit on naughty points?
You gotta have a wedding suit.
I'm going yeah, I'm gonna wear a suit. Did you? What do you get?
Is it a tux now? No, Tails. Now? No. Just a suit.
Hey, why don't you come your invites in the mail? You can see
it for yourself. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm waiting. All right. I'm
Brexit. That's where I'd like to go. Brexit. Do you have any
slippage to share
with a lot of slippage. I get people talking about Brexit. I
got I was listening to spending most of my time on LBC and
London Broadcasting Corporation, probably hours worth of LBC
stuff. Leading Britain's conversation.
That's another acronym for him. Yeah, cool.
Yeah. LBC. And I had probably clipped about five hours of
material, but I only ended up with like four clips or two.
Okay, but let's play. Let's see we have anything here. That's a
good what do I have it? Well, let's. Let's see. All right, one
of the remainers that's on LBC. Good talking about immigration.
Just while I look for the clip I want
to send in February. Then we've got industrial production in
Germany, and that's just literally 15 minutes ago, down
1.2% in January, and industrial output down naught point 8%.
everybody blames the United Kingdom for a falling short.
This is a global problem and it's not going away.
Thanks for that David. Bill at your core spreads, leading
Britain's conversation LBC with Nick Ferrari at breakfast,
what to do with the children, the children of the runaway
jihadi brides or in some cases
jihadi brides.
Just a different clip. Here we go. Brexit report PBS. This is
your backgrounder. That's what I
was looking for.
The British Parliament has rejected a no deal Brexit was 16
days left until the deadline for leaving the European Union. The
vote came at day after lawmakers had turned down Prime Minister
Theresa Mays proposed deal for a second time. Afterwards she
addressed the House of Commons with a voice hoarse from strain.
The legal default the legal default in UK and EU law remains
that the UK will leave the EU without a deal. Unless, unless
something else is agreed. The onus is now on every one of us
in this house to find out what that is.
Parliament plans to vote tomorrow and whether to ask the
EU for more time.
I'd like scoffing at the politicians like anybody else,
but I feel bad man, especially if you're in the UK Parliament
and your voice is gone. You've been tricky. It's hard he or
she's poor lady.
So we have what happened was the the parliament rejected it. So
the parliament rejected because they came with a new deal. And
in here's kind of the kind of the rundown of that this is
Geoffrey Cox, the Attorney General of the UK under the
under her administration saying that the New Deal is the same as
the old deal is that that's what caused the problem.
Let me make it clear. The legal risk, as I set it out, in my
letter of the 13th of November, remains changed as a political
judgment. The house should now enter in to those arrangements.
So what we're seeing if I understand it, is that people
voted. They said this is what we want. And the politicians are
not follow even though they're not legally bound to or are they
now, okay, now, this was a gentlemen's agreement or an
England gentleman's agreement is good as a written contract
suppose
just don't just don't drop the soap. Because that's what's
happening here. And so the politician said, yeah, great
England, but no, we're not going to do that even though you voted
for it. This isn't we're not going to do this and because the
plan isn't right.
Well, the plan was bad. The plan was almost designed not to pass.
Yeah, no, I think there's our it's arguable but no, the
planners think this is this was drafted high up the UK with the
EU forever. And that was a real problem. This doesn't that same
guy, but this time with with Faraj discussing some of the
aspects of this Faraj and Coxon may well,
he makes it perfectly clear, and he wrote a letter, and he signed
it off. And the last sentence that that letter couldn't have
been clearer, the legal list remains and risk remains
unchanged, that if through no such demonstrable failure of
either party, but simply because of intractable differences.
There is no internationally lawful means of exiting the
protocols arrangements, I repeat, there is no
internationally lawful means of exiting the arrangements. So
there's the Prime Minister telling us an amazing
breakthrough, we wouldn't be able to leave the backstop
unilaterally. And today, her attorney general shoots it down
in flames. This was Mrs. May, earlier on today, begging MPs to
vote for her deal. And because it's
been put on legal changes, and I'll come on to the fact that
they are legally binding changes as a result of the discussion
since the house has moved on to 29th of January. The Right
Honourable gentleman is absolutely correct. The danger
for those of us wants to deliver to have faith with the British
public and deliver on their vote for brexit is that if this vote
is not passed tonight, if this deal is not passed, then Brexit
could be lost.
So let me back my deal or Brexit could be lost. And it really is
the last roll of the dice from a prime minister. I'm sorry, she's
got a bad throat. But I didn't know when she was coughing
yesterday. She always seems to cough before she says something
that is demonstrably. True. Tell. Tell.
So what was what happens now?
Well, what's gonna happen from what I can tell I think I have
one more clip we can play that I can tell you what I think is
going to happen. I'm pretty sure it's exactly what's going to
happen. Try LBC on Brexit mess miscellaneous clip.
We had Chris Wilkins on earlier, former director of number 10.
Well, well, you'll know how reliable he is exactly, saying
that at number 10. There are plans afoot for for a reset come
April. Let's let's look at the domestic agenda.
Well, that's all very well if we've actually left by then. But
it looks to me as though that's highly unlikely now and that
article 50 will be extended probably for some substantial
period of time. That means we have to fight the European
elections. And I heard you talking to Jerry Jones about
that. And I mean that that will be catastrophic for our
politics, I think because you will have most of the 17 point 4
million people feeling utterly betrayed. You will get some very
odd carry To standing in those elections, this new Brexit party
which Nigel Farage is supporting, I suspect that they
will wipe the border if there are candidates in that election.
Mm
hmm. So what's gonna happen according to these guys, and it
seems like Google is they're going to put an extension
instead of leaving the EU at the end of the month. This month,
there will be EU go with the extension.
That's the big question. I think they will. If there's promises
made under the table to the EU and the promise will be upon I
will redo or revote Ah,
yes, perfect. The EU will say you know what, will extend if
you promise to do another referendum? Yeah, because we
know that that's how it works in the EU. Yeah, you
just wrong vote referendums over and over until finally wrong
vote.
Yes. Well, I have a Faraj clip, but I don't know if
I think by the way there I think there also will be a general
election and I think maybe he's gotta be out. She's got to be
out. And I'm looking at Bozo. Mog, that guy,
I'm looking at Bo Joe, bring him in. Trying to get a nut job in
there.
I think this Reese mog character. I think he'll be the
next prime minister. Even though it's done sound logical, but I
think he will be he's very, very influential.
Well, it's gonna be an exciting couple of weeks.
Yeah, nothing but fun. Well, now, by the way, we predicted
this whole thing.
Of course we did is we're from the future. This is where Pluto
TV comes in handy because they've got Sky News
and loves gray. Oh, TV. Yeah. BBC Viacom bottom right.
Yeah, there was a bike. Yeah, I think it was Viking. It's too
bad. Was was cat channels still up?
Still there. But actually have a secondary catch around.
There's I haven't seen any reporting except, you know,
well. A blurb in New York Times about the air war on Somalia.
Besides this, I think I think this is one of the West Clark
seven. Is that one of the West Clark seven countries Somalia.
I thought it was Sudan. Oh, Sudan. Right. Maybe Somalia was
in there. Huh? Well, yeah. We'll play the clip. I'll look it up.
Okay. Let me see Wes Clark. Any the West clerk seven
here we go.
Seven Countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then
Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finished Somalia.
Sudan. There he is. So Somalia. So Somali is necessary and
Sudan. But is this the Neo cons just go? I mean, no one's even
talking about this.
If you managed to keep it out of the news, because it doesn't
necessarily
Well, this is Al Shabaab, you know this is a Shabbat, Shabbat,
Shabbat, shalom. Shabbat. We have that we have that home on
need to play it once in a lifetime chance. Yada. Shoo,
bonus everybody. Secret Agent Paul bonus. Yes, it's al Shabaab
who were fighting air quotes. All right. I don't know any I
don't know anything other than weed killing a lot of clip. No,
no. I said, there's no clip. All I have is New York Times
article.
And I covered it then. Well, no,
but why, especially, to me, it seems important. If this is one
of the West Clark seven, it's a big deal. So maybe we have a
producer over there. And maybe someone can tell us but in the
last four months of 2018, the death toll with the air strike
drone strikes, I presume, of suspected Shabaab fighters as
record high in the past three years. 326 people in 47 attacks
that were disclosed. Who knows what else is going on? Yeah,
yeah. Come on. I want it. This is dumb.
Now that media is letting us down. Yeah. Yeah. Well, hello.
Now they're too busy about the 7:37am.
Okay, let's talk about this then minus well, I got three first
let me let me preface no matter what happened. This is the
Airbus versus Boeing war. It is in full effect. This is why you
saw countries grounding. The European the minute the UK
grounded it that was a full on full frontal attack on Boeing.
By the countries that have a huge interest in Airbus eating
course it did. Then they love but remember that Boeing Airbus
had very, very poor sales in the recent pitch round whatever the
upfront is. And Lion Air that's the Indonesian craft 737 Max
that crashed. They have already switched their $22 billion
Boeing or rudder to Airbus. So this and that. Trust me. We've
discussed this in the past, any commercial company is not beyond
killing a couple 100 people for $22 billion.
Yeah, or more. Absolutely. And more to be
your wife, your wife, your life is worthless, you can get it
people will kill you for 500 euros and Amsterdam. So, you
know, you think that that an investor or company won't kill
off some people. And I have other theories. But
let's hear those theories. Let's play the clip.
Your clip my clip? Well, I
got three clips, I have a couple of PBS, they're pretty good.
Well, let's let me start with the background or my personal
feeling is until we have the black box, we can't make any
assumptions. there does appear to be new data that I have not
seen. But the President apparently saw and the FAA
administrator that said, Okay, this looks like a repeat of the
Lion Air issues discussed in this I have a 42nd are here.
Well, there is
evidence collected at the ground at the site of the impact of the
crash. And there's also newly enhanced satellite imagery of
the Ethiopian Airlines flight track in the sky, as well as an
analysis of the aircraft configuration just after it took
off. And that's what really drove this decision to ground
the planes in the US from the FAS perspective. Here again is
FAA administrator Dan Elwell, talking at a conference call
with reporters,
both new pieces of information, were added fidelity missing
pieces that we did not have prior to today that aligned the
track from Ethiopian Airlines track to Lion Air closer than
anything we had up until today.
That seems like a reason for grounding to me.
Yeah, well, it's a new system which is discussed in more in
detail on these clips. So let's play these three
Boeing 737 Max passenger jet liner is grounded across much of
the globe tonight, including the United States. The Federal
Aviation Administration took that step for the US today,
after dozens of other nations had already done so. It followed
Sunday's deadly crash of a 737 Max in Ethiopia. John Yang
begins our coverage.
President Trump made the announcement himself
Boeing is an incredible company. They are working very, very hard
right now. And hopefully they'll very quickly come up with the
answer. But until they do, the planes are grounded.
As the President spoke more than two dozen of the planes were in
flight over the United States once they landed there on the
ground until further notice. As recently as last night, the FAA
rejected calls to ground the jet after two fatal crashes in five
months. The most recent was Sunday when an Ethiopian
Airlines plane plunged to the ground, killing 157 people.
Today acting FAA administrator Daniel Elwell said the agency
reverse course after new data indicated similarities between
Sunday's crash and October's crash of a Lion Air 737 Max and
Indonesia that killed 189 people.
The evidence found on the ground made it even more likely that
the flight path was very close to Lion Air. The FAA
had been virtually alone in not grounding the plane. That
isolation grew this morning when Canadian Transport Minister Marc
Garneau acted,
all I can say is that based on the new information that we got
this morning, that was enough to cause us to make this decision.
The Americans will do their their own thing.
Today Boeing said it continues to have full confidence in the
plane safety but supported the FAA is action.
We need to point out that these companies, both Boeing and
Airbus, the amount of economic importance cannot be
underplayed. I mean, there's so many companies and countries
that are involved in in this particular sector, that this is
very, very important tool
not to mention that the Dow Jones as we talked about on the
DHF unplugged show is pretty much dependent on Boeing. Yeah,
yeah. So that doesn't help anybody.
I just want to point out that it is also very positive there was
no good outcome when everyone everyone when everyone started
shutting down grounding the planes around the world. No good
outcome for Boeing in certainly not to say ooh, we're gonna keep
flying. The best outcome could be and it's 374 bucks nine it's
too big for anyone like us to play in but when it when and if
it turns out that this is something else, the shits going
to skyrocket like crazy.
Maybe you don't know. Now, of course, I don't know because you
me she could cost them a lot of money to fix the whatever it
could.
It could also crash. I mean, you see that since 2017 Boeing has
just the stock has exploded.
Yeah, was was a good investment,
then what happened? Why did it explode? Back in seven? I
have no idea.
I mean, if you look at 20 is our 2017 around around November of
2016, then it just goes from under like, what is it $154? Up
to more the peak was over 400?
Yeah, let's play a clip to.
So hello, miles tell us, first of all, what is this new
information that came out overnight?
Well, Judy, it's interesting. It's a direct outgrowth of the
loss of MH 375 years ago, the triple seven that left from
Kuala Lumpur and was, was lost and remains lost. There was a
mandate to the airline industry to come up with better tracking
capabilities, a company called Aireon, in conjunction with
flight tracker, developed some of this capability and has
brought it to market and this gave the FAA and anybody who
could look at this data, a much more granular look at what
happened to that aircraft after it left after it departed. And
that gave them as they put it, the fidelity, presumably that
matched up pretty closely to what we saw in October with the
lion air crash. And that left them with this decision.
So you're talking about a satellite image of what what
happened to the plane between the time that it took off and it
crashed?
Yes, a more detailed image that gave them much more specificity
about what that aircraft was doing in its short flight.
Now, the FAA official miles also cited evidence on the ground do
we know what that's a reference to?
I they were not specific on it, maybe there was something in the
wreckage, which might have caused them to pause, the nature
of the crash, the fact that it apparently came in almost
exactly perpendicular to ground nose, you know, going fast and
nose down,
which this is very interesting to me. The crash site, it looks
like us flight 93, which I'm pretty sure it was blown out of
the sky. I mean, there's this it's nothing. This just it's
obliterated little pieces of hole here and there. And you
know, pick I mean, we're only seeing what we're being shown.
But if this was a pitch up angle of attack, issue, it not
necessarily would the plane come down nose first. That's just, I
find that peculiar. I'd like to know what this stuff on the
ground is about. Because it takes a little while to figure
it out, you know, wreckage, but okay, PBS, we've got to trust
them.
Well, let's go with the third thing, which brings up an issue,
which is the one that always gets to me. And you know, you
want
you want to play it.
Yeah, that there was no grounding at that time. You
know, it occurs to me that if a piece of hardware, a wing or an
engine had fallen off, they would have grounded it
immediately. But the software was broken. And they said, well,
we'll fix it by April. So perhaps the it became clear to
them that they weren't recognizing the seriousness of
this software problem.
And there was also a question tied into that, about whether
the the US government shutdown, which lasted over a month, might
have contributed to the delay. In the software fix. The FAA was
denying that today, though,
they do deny that it's hard to know again, what was the what
was going on inside the FAA at that time, but the fact that
they identified a fleet wide problem, albeit software problem
that caused the deaths of people, and the FAA said, well
let the planes fly, we'll fix them in April, is something that
I think ultimately became difficult for the FAA and for
Boeing to explain.
No, we're okay. This is here's a couple of people have no idea
about how the aviation industry works. But I like it. I read
this too. Oh, it's clear this shutdown that the FAA didn't
have time to tell her but
just bring Trump into it. This is what Judy just did here.
Because she knows that the FAA already says, oh, no, it's got
nothing to do with it. And he had to tell her again, she knew
that before she asked that question. She
had to she had to get her own little conspiracy theories out
there, which are good. I like it. It's it's not at all how
these things work. I there, there are other possibilities
here. First, there is a thing called the Boeing
uninterruptible auto pilot, which has been installed on
certain types of aircraft. Now we're talking a large number of
730 sevens that these maxes that were on order like now, like
between five and 10,000 was huge. This is the big moneymaker
for them. This if you want to look up the Boeing
uninterruptible power supply and how that ties into the elites
look up the patent for QRS dash 11
You said uninterrupted piloting system, power supply. Sorry,
autopilot
uninterruptible autopilot Boeing uninterruptible autopilot, and
this allows the aircraft to be piloted from the ground
uninterruptible by anyone on board and this was installed on
aircraft, I don't know which ones after 911 It was the whole
idea. Now of course, you can reverse that. And you can use it
to do other things. But let's just talk one more time about
where some Boeing seven three sevens actually come from.
Boeing has launched its foray into China heading over the
first 737 Max from its Jo Shan plant southeast of Shanghai, the
Air China bound jet was finished at the factory, although in
reality, if there's a Made in America label having been flown
over from Seattle, roughly one in four planes that Boeing
builds is heading for China, whose airlines are the world's
leading buyers of the 737.
So China, who also makes a knock off 737. They're finishing up a
lot of the work all Boeing aircraft or outsource and this
all I think there's huge supply chain issues.
And I go back this, this was proven true with the 787. And I
go back
to my original statement, that a country who has problems with us
anyway, and this does lead back to it being Trump's fault.
Luckily, so people can use it on MSNBC is, you know, it was
killed some fuckers and let's, let's show these people are made
of, I do not put it past them. But if you really want to go out
there, no one's talking about the people. These people were
from Africa. So if we want to know what Africa thinks of it,
we need to go to Africa today with Dr. Mumbi.
Ellen, welcome to Africa watch on the Dr. moonda show. This is
a special edition. I'm reporting live from London. And it's all
about what happened a few days ago with Ethiopian Airlines
crash. What happened was that, you know, the Ethiopian Airlines
plane crashed on Sunday morning, it was only four months old. I
know you guys have probably heard all this information
before. But it's very important that we understand it. A brand
new aircraft doesn't just fall from the sky. And it's a Boeing
737 is the same one as the Indonesian flight that crashed
in October of 2018 149 passengers was set to be on
board each crew. When the first when it first happened
initially, they said that 3233 nations were involved, and that
the accident had happened at 1133. You know, all these code
code code code code, and then later,
I had no idea that they were all in the 33 codes in Africa as
well. This is this is an eye opener.
1133 1133
Yeah, five nations and and they found the crash site. But you
know, a lot of people have been questioning the entire scenario
and asking themselves, what really happened. A plane doesn't
just fall from the sky. And there's so many strange things.
On the Eighth of March, the United States released a
statement and they actually on their Facebook page, and they
released a security alert. And they were talking about how
there was a particular you can see the alert right there.
There's a particular community that was supposed to write, I
think, is the memoria community. They were supposed to have
demonstrations in the capital city. So they were wanting their
citizens about the demonstrations in the capital
city. But they also happen to mention that no American
citizens should fly in or out of Bali airport on Sunday, 10th of
March. And so a lot of people asking, did they know that this
was coming? Because it's very strange how, you know, the US
State Department is almost like the angel of death. You know,
they'll come and they will say, the one that citizens and then
the next thing we know there'll be an attack.
I like this a lot. And I went back and I looked at the State
Department security alerts. And sure enough, US embassy
personnel are advised to avoid Meskel square and limit movement
around Addis Ababa. On Sunday, March 10, US government
travelers have been advised not to arrive or depart bolay
International Airport on Sunday, March 10. The US embassy
personnel are also temporarily prohibited from traveling to
Oromia. Just an African perspective
Well, that's interesting, huh?
And for Trump tweeted some interesting things. Which I'm in
partial agreement. It's like you know, hey, do you want all this
computer stuff flying around? Do you want some train pilots
flying you around? And I just, I'm okay with augmented but
that's not the plan. The next gen is to you know, of course
everyone wants Oh, get the pilots out there. The stupid
ones? Yeah, sure. It's just like the Tesla who needs drivers you
know, the Tesla crashes fine on its own. But for Trump to he was
really slamming Boeing and even talking about how he thinks the
737 is a piece of shit, but he actually would know a little bit
about it and to be honest, yeah the 737 the max is not the same
aircraft it is it is markedly different in its wing
performance and its engine location so it is a little bit
different which is what the computer code is supposed are
supposed to compensate for they'll compensate now i We
don't know exactly what the updates are but honestly in my
mind Boeing Airbus China, you know, I think that there's some
trickery at play because ultimately it's just brown
people gives a shit now like that's, you know, whenever a
plane crashes it's not always that they give you all the
nationalities right off the bat, this this report immediately,
this money from this country, this money from this country, as
if that was somehow meant to show some importance. I don't
know it's not typical. It's like this many people died, most of
them Africans, and then later when we might get a manifest,
but it came right away. The manifest
who's well, okay, let's look at it from a some sort of a semi
quasi conspiratorial Hello, perspective. What was the point
of it
to severely impact Boeing, their operations in
our State Department be part of this? Treason? I don't know.
Well, I do want to make that jump.
That's I don't know. That's just an interesting point. The State
Department thing is annoying. Specifically talking about
flying in or out of that airport. So maybe they knew the
Chinese were up to something. Maybe it's al Shabaab again. I
don't know. But having that
they may have been tipped off by a different intelligence service
from another country that knew about that yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Put this thing I didn't get it may have gone like this knowing
bureaucrats what you think? Well, I don't know but it will
put an alert out just in case just cover our ass. Yeah, that's
a possibility. Yeah.
But it would be perfectly fine. What a great way to do it by
replicating the previous crash that was based on some design
issue. Let's call it that. No perfect way.
Perfect way to do it. Name systems. You can show that it
was the replication it's also possible to state different was
set up. It could also be to put that thing that in there. Yep.
Yeah, to add suspicion. But I think
bottom up bottom line, I think I know what they'll say. It's a
glitch.
They better not say it's a glitch.
Okay, we'll see.
I'm gonna show us moved by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all the

This is also this is also Tina's busiest time of the year with
the starlight affair and the bandana ball coming up for the
for the house and that's a big event. That's where we that's
where we met four years ago.
Oh, there we go now you have it and we never had a fight all
right, well, I do have a little humor to break things up.
Finally,
there was a there was a there was a hearing with Wells Fargo
head has guy.
It's an AOC clip.
So here we have just part of her EDI. And here she has to do
Wells Fargo. I'm gonna recommend this to anybody who ever has to
do a testimony. She's asking questions, ask her a question
that forces her to go off script. And we get to hear gems
like this.
So let's focus on the Dakota Access Pipeline, as should Wells
Fargo be held responsible for the damages incurred by climate
change due to the financing of fossil fuels and these projects.
I don't know how you'd calculate that Congress Webb
say from spills or when we have to reinvest in infrastructure
building sea walls from the erosion of from the erosion of
infrastructure or cleanups, wildfires, etc.
Related to that pipeline, I'm not aware that there's been any
of what you described that's occurred
about the cleanups from the leaks of the Dakota Access
Pipeline,
I'm not aware of the leaks associated with the Dakota
Access pipeline that you're describing.
So hypothetically, if there was a leak from the Dakota Access
Pipeline, why shouldn't Wells Fargo pay for the cleanup of it
if since it paid for the construction of the pipeline
itself?
Because we don't operate the pipeline, we provide financing
to the company that's operating the pipeline, our responsibility
is to ensure that at the time that we make that loan, that
that that customer and we have a group of people in Wells Fargo,
including an environment mental oversight group headed by one of
my colleagues who used to be at the EPA. One question I did
Wells Fargo financed this pipeline when it was widely seen
to be environmentally unstable.
Again, the reason that we were one of the 17 or 19 banks that
finance that is because our team reviewed the environmental
impact. And we concluded that it was it was a risk that we were
willing to take it so
you know what's great,
it's humor. Well, it's humorous to me that after all the
bitching and moaning when I started playing AOC clips now
you're the one bringing them
I'm bringing them in you are bringing you're bringing it now.
Here's what I here's what I'm starting to appreciate about
her.
She doesn't know how dumb she is. Oh, she has bought for the
coop. And so what worked for the coop? We've talked about this
board for the coop. It's like, like it's a Dutch saying it's
like you have a big wooden plank in front of your head. And you
just plow through life like that.
Okay, well that's her because if she just stick to the script,
which I'm sure they're gonna lecture her about and when she
gets back to the office
in question seven Center has called her
it's not as though some of you but she thinks she can she just
doesn't know what she's talking about. I do have the ISO of this
part of this little thing about about building the the retaining
walls for the floods avoid I don't even know what she was
talking about.
Because you're so nice. Yeah,
building sea walls from the erosion of from the erosion of
infrastructure or cleanups, wildfires, etc. Wait,
wait. I want to hear that again.
See what you think sea walls from the erosion of the
infrastructure or clean up wildfires.
You shoot she was at South by South by Southwest which is on
right now as we speak. It's Hipster Heaven. And I started
watching it because I didn't get the clip until this morning. And
I will have something for you on Sunday. Because he Oh yeah, it's
an hour. It's an hour of her talking like that kind of just,
you know, like automating inequality. I mean, these types
of great phrases. So there's there's stuff. I mean, she's
doing what a lot of people are very good at and I think she's
pretty good. Fake it till you make it. And she's she can just
she can just turn it on. And you know, she's got some things that
our team has put into her head and some of that comes out and
in a good way. And then she you know, she ad libs a lot then but
The bottom line is people eat it up. They love it. They're
idiots. Well, okay, maybe but people she's Look at, look at
the frame look at the brain. It's, it's, it's, I see why
she's appealing to people, especially if you're, you know,
if you're talking to this younger generation and
reinforcing the fear of the earth killing you, and oh, by
the way, the one thing I can't stand from her is how she says
and, and, and, and, and I and any more AOC clips we'll find
your saying, Oh, I
just have that's the only one. All right. They do have some
other probably good crazy clips.
Wait, let me bring the real humor. I think you talked about
this. I can't remember. But it's popped up on the radar again
this well here to vote that
is becoming a growing crime in the Central Valley. Most of the
fest happening in Easton and going
the criminal investigation ratcheted up after Christy PKW
reported 11 Goats stolen last Thursday. She then contacted the
media to bring attention to the thefts.
Originally, it wasn't a high priority and until I think the
news outlets started asking him questions like What are you
doing to help all these families find their animals
all told more than 60 goats have vanished from farms and the
county in the last two months. Police estimate the total value
of those animals at $27,000. And now they're taking this crime
wave seriously
the beginning of this week. We really threw a lot of resources
at this that is Fresno County Sheriff's Department spokesman
Tony body. Numerous detectives on that team are treating this
as a top priority right now. They've scoured the area for
surveillance video, which has been few and far between. We
just have really come up dry on Leeds
spokes paid Pete bring up that ring doorbell camera over there.
Let's see what do you see any goats?
Barney says he can't recall such a widespread goat related crime
wave as this one. What it tells us is that there's a market for
goats right now. It's been taken our males. Some of these females
are even pregnant. So they're getting a two for one. steal
these goats. And what we know is that females are sought after
for both milk and meat purposes.
I don't care what you say. But it is undeniable that no agenda
show is ahead of the crowd. We have known about the market for
goats for a long time, goat power has been in our entire
lexicon for quite some time.
Now, our producer sent me a pin I don't have his note. A goat
pin that said goat something. It apparently comes from a Satanist
operation.
Well, here's what so my first thought. And this is Fresno. I
don't know anything about Fresno. My first thought was, is
it Ramadan? So no, because that doesn't happen until it's it's
not always consistent, but around April. So okay, maybe
maybe there's some people getting because I remember
remember Tony, the Tony the driver in San Francisco who had
a goat in the back of his car. Yeah, he was not remembered
this. He was uh, this is before Uber and he had a cab. Yeah. And
he would tell me stuff and he would talk. Yeah, we talked
about that. Just sit back there with the Go nose in the trunk.
It was in the trunk. And his goat in the trunk. Yes. He had a
dead goat in the trunk. Oh, a dead goat. The goat? No, it was
it was it was taken it off to his cousin to prepared. But as
I'm looking around for Fresno and Ramadan, did you know
there's about 15,000 Syrian refugees who've been placed in
Fresno?
No, I did not know that. Yeah, that's a lot of people
and they hadn't some have been had been made aware of the fact
that you are no in fact, not allowed to roast a goat in your
backyard. That is apparently a violation of some environmental
and health rules in Fresno. But that doesn't come up in the
report. And it's the first thing I thought of like well, who
wants goats except for goat yoga? It's their culture. They
love goats.
They thought it was delicious. Yeah,
well it depends on how it's been ever had a goat Yes, I have
we've been through this and I've I've had good goat and I've had
bad goat but no, I think it's I think it's maybe in preparation
Syrians
in Fresno I'm looking at the Syrian 18,000 Syrians in Fresno
would make some sense have been stealing goats and eating them
by barbecuing him in the backyard
problems.
Would you have a some sort of a law against mystery solved?
Yeah, I think you nailed it. Only no agenda. Do we think
people need to know these things, but I don't know if you
want to bring it up on a date. I now again, my recommendation is
I think was a crying shame that Hillary lost don't you
cry and see what you get crying shame? I'll tell you crying
shame. So, um, you know, no agenda social. No, no agenda
social.com It's our instance of Macedon, you can get invited.
Anyone in the troll room should have an invite anyone who has an
account can create an invite just not completely open so I'm
gonna just wander it and you get an invite and that has often
been abbreviated as na s it's what people say well read and
you know talk about in the in the troll room, someone seeing
whenever they refer to no agenda
tax as attached storage, which is what it is. Well,
he I think that there may have been some people may be aware of
this, but I was brought to my attention. The 9090 film 9095
Film Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves you know, the Keanu
Reeves movie
worst movie ever?
No, I don't think it's the worst movie ever. I just wanted to say
that. And I don't think it's that I actually I watched the
whole movie. Again. I watched it just the other day because it
was brought to my attention that there is a disease you know, the
premise of the movie is people are ill half the world is sick
from this nerve attack, attenuation syndrome, and a s
nerve attenuation syndrome. And vo Keanu has a different role in
this. But he winds up helping release the cure, which is of
course computer code and mnemonic computer code and saves
the world. So you don't have to watch the movie anymore. But
interesting. This is 1995 this is this is when the internet was
just you know, we were putting Reebok online for the first time
in 9095. You know Anheuser Busch budweiser.com Around that time
9596 So the internet was still dial up, you know, the maybe
ISDN was just about to come into play. But this is way before its
time William Gibson story. And here is there's a couple of good
actors in this besides ice ice tea or ice cube ice. One of them
somebody was the ice family family. And Henry Rollins is the
doctor who can at least treat if not cure the nerve attenuation
syndrome and he's going to explain what it is.
Look, I gotta run. Shut up. Give me that muscle relaxant over
there. The red one Yes, right. Yeah, the black shape. Like half
the people on the planet. Let me tell you something, so you get
this straight. It's not my work that got it this way. My work is
clean. You sighs You don't get this shit, ma'am. Jobs. That's
just a myth. So what does cause what causes it? The world causes
it. This causes it. This causes it. This causes it information
overload all the electronics around you poisoning the
airwaves, technological fucking civilization, but we still have
all this shit. Because we can't live without it. Let me do my
work.
And I heard that I'm like, what acting? Well, besides fabulous
acting. I thought that's exactly where we are now. We have
information overload the airwaves are polluted with
signals, and just all kinds of EMF pollution. And, you know,
with the over socialization of the networks, you know, these
are what people have with NAS is they get the shakes, called the
Black shakes. And then of course, you know, all the other
things that we see happening with people today. And right
after I saw this movie, I watched it on my computer
through Amazon. I got the following ad,
I knew about the tremors. But when I started seeing things, I
didn't know what was happening. So I kept it in. He started
believing things that weren't true. I knew something was
wrong. But I didn't say a word. During the course of their
disease. Around 50% of people with Parkinson's may experience
hallucinations or delusions.
This is new to me. And Parkinson's is a horrible,
horrible disease. And it ends up bad every single time. But it's
new that they're talking about delusions.
It's funny you say that? Because I know 123 Probably for people
with Parkinson's, and maybe five, and I've never heard this
from them. Or and I've never heard this until very recently.
The only research I was able to find in a short amount of time
was that the delusions come from medication that is treating
Parkinson's, but when I hear this ad it's like It's like, oh,
this might be the perfect medication to give someone who
has delusions, Mr. Curry, you have you have the shakes, you've
got delusions, you your vivid imagination. I don't know, just
listen to the whole thing I
knew about the tremors. But when I started seeing things, I
didn't know what was happening. So I kept it in.
He started believing things that weren't true. I knew something
was wrong, but I didn't say a word. During the course of their
disease. Around 50% of people with Parkinson's may experience
hallucinations or delusions. But now doctors are prescribing
nuplazid the only FDA approved medicine proven to significantly
reduce hallucinations and delusions related to
Parkinson's. Don't take nuclide that if you are allergic to its
ingredients nuclides that can increase the risk of death and
elderly people with dementia related psychosis and is not for
treating symptoms unrelated to Parkinson's disease. A new class
that can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken
if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other
drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell
your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. The
most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs
and confusion recently took up and it made all the difference.
Ask your Parkinson's specialist about new plasmoid.
How not do never treat that how often do you hear someone say
it's not meant to treat anything else? In fact, that's the number
one use of most medications off off label use of it. I just
found that coincidental that I got this right after I read
about this.
Let's look into stuff for a second. And look into why do you
think you got this? Because it can't be just because you watch
that movie? Are you buying weird books? Or did you buy some same
product over and over again? Because they maybe to give the
shakes? And you can hit the button once you have to hit it
10 times? I don't know. What do you think it caused you to get
this this add to How about Parkinson's?
How about this very show where I talk about delusional things
that some people may see is delusional track this show. You
don't know what Amazon does or doesn't track but you do use AWS
for a lot of your things and shownotes I don't think Amazon
delves into that to be honest about it. I mean, it's it's
funny, it's a funny idea, but I don't have time for that kind of
crap. Anyway,
I'd love to know from if we have I'm sure someone out there has a
family member with Parkinson's, and delusion. If you look at the
definition that that really means your your conspiratorially
paranoid, they're out to get me you know that delusional is not
just something not an illusion with delusion.
Anyone idea?
Anyway, just to wrap up the Johnny Mnemonic as I'm watching
it, check out again 1995 Check this out. He's He's compiling a
whole bunch of computer parts the years 2021 When this
supposedly takes place? Yeah. Which is even better. We do it
right around that time. And he's pulling together computer parts
I need to sign on logic 16 So go seven data gloves, a GPL stealth
module. One bird on intelligent translator and Thompson iPhones.
Thompson iPhone. Hello. iPhone didn't come out until 2005 2007
To
be exact 2007.
There certainly there's could be a public domain issue here is a
name.
Well, there was a lawsuit between I think it might have
been Samsung bought there was a company that had a video phone
they called the iPhone. Yeah, I remember. Yeah. I think Sam and
that they settled that into probably around 2000 is a phone,
but I've never heard the Thompson iPhone. Let's just look
at four right there. This he said an iPhone. He said Tom, was
there a Thompson iPhone?
No. None of that crap. He mentioned there was ever any of
that. But then it was just somebody's Well, that's there
was just a fun little throwaway that I think it would be. Who's
the writer again? Gibson. Gibson. I think Steve Jobs would
be a Gibson reader total may have stolen from Gibson.
I have one clip I need to play. All right. This is it just
because I don't even know what to make of it. There's a full
interview that they will have maybe more clips from for
Sunday. This is Kara Swisher. Swisher, on decode recode who
code and she has on the president of YouTube. So Susan
Wojcicki I believe her name is and are the CEO of YouTube. And
Kara Swisher just pulls out this whole anti Ben Shapiro rant that
I wanted I needed to share RIT my son
is 13 years old, started watching Ben Shapiro videos. And
he's like the gateway drug to the next group. And then it goes
right to Jordan Peterson, then it goes down. And in three
clicks, he was at neo Nazi stuff.
I mean, just to stop right there. What she feels that Ben
Shapiro is a gateway drug to Peterson and three clicks, and
then you're a neo Nazi. That's pretty severe. For her to say.
It's unconscionable.
And by the way, the kids the kid is probably looking at it
because you're a horrible mother. And he needs some advice
from a man who's saying Be a man, which is exactly what
Jordan Peterson does. Oh, that's why she hits Jordan. That's what
I'm thinking, well, let's continue here.
It was, like, astonishing. And then I had to listen to it at
dinner. And I was sort of like, I'm gonna kill Susan Wojcicki
first. It was sort of like, I was sort of like, is there
anything like that, but it is, I'm sort of like, and then I've
got like, this kid who's like, Well, Ben Shapiro is sort of
smart. I'm like, No, he's not. He's clever. But he's an idiot.
Anyway, just like it's exhausting. But it has like a
huge effect on them. Do you feel like the people that are on a
bigger thing? And it's not your total responsibility, Susan, but
it's, do you feel like the people sitting on might have a
sense of this, of the impact they have, and are capable of
dealing with it? Or will regulatory measures just has to
come into place?
By the way, I always think someone who says like 80 times
in a sentence is very intelligent.
Because it's already starting in Europe, it's starting in
California here with privacy bills, what do you do all you
feel like you're all able to do that
we are going to make, we have already made a huge difference.
And we will continue that will have a big impact and how our
platforms work. So getting your son lost? No, we can we can we
can work on your son here. I have a son too. And I get some
of these discussions also at the dinner table. I mean, so it's a
I think what you're describing is in the end, the way we think
about it, too, like there's a set of content that has to meet
the community guidelines, Ben Shapiro is going to meet the
community guidelines. So I don't think you're suggesting that we
remove him from the platform, are you?
I would but I can't No. Okay.
Okay, so there's 15 more seconds. This is really
important, because you're hearing right now how the elites
talk about other people who have different opinions, and how they
actually take them down. So it's not about you know, free speech
is one thing, but now we have a different way of taking them
down.
I would but I can't no less than I saw you. I was like, get Alex
Jones off that platform and you're like, well, the community
guidelines and then you got it now he's not on the roof. I
know. So I was right. But that's that's
it was the terms of service actually service. He broke the
terms you broke our terms of service. Yes.
Yeah. There you go. You break the terms of service, the
community guidelines, and we can change those whenever we want.
We can interpret them however we want. Now that first
set of terms of service always say you're agreeing to the fact
that we can change the terms of service on the fly. Whenever we
want you to like That's
right. And that's how they D platform you and I would say Ben
Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are on their way out. This has been
the Oracle the oracle that is Swisher and predicted Alex Jones
and done Yes, done.
Of course. He says Ben Shapiro is an idiot. She is what she
said. Yeah, but I don't believe Ben Shapiro was sucked in by
that meme where the kid with the Magga hat was standing in front
of that Indian Yeah.
Oh no, I don't think Only an idiot would be sucked in by that
cache Karish which Swisher I believe is named in the lawsuit
at this because she was all in on that.
Exactly. We're gonna have to leave it at that because time
flew. i Who knew Time flew. And we have let me see we've got end
of show mixers from Lee Oh, la puke Brian longenecker and Tom
Starkweather three really good ones. Very excited about that.
And we will return for another full blown deconstruction of
your global media. Which means we need your help your
participation we need information, especially if
you're in Somalia. Any other place we can get it from we'd
love to hear from you. And please continue to support our
value for value network. My going to divorce.org/na coming

we return on Sunday right here on no agenda remember us at the
vorak.org/and A until then, audio smooth and such even air
is racist now.
The air that we breathe isn't equal. White Privilege extends
to breathing. White people according to USA Today get to
breathe cleaner air than blacks and Hispanics. This is
fascinating. I can't wait to find out more blacks and
Hispanics this proportionally breathe air that's been polluted
by non Hispanic whites.
According to a study
the air that Americans breed isn't equal. This is an
unfortunate turn of events for all of humanity. Now I'm sure
the science behind that is just failed.
Right now the debate about whether or not climate change is
racist, whether whether or not it's too funny.
What is it do white people fired more? Is that what it is?
I breathe white air I don't know if Black and Hispanic people
have the option of breathing white air or not. But if you do,
you should certainly choose white hair because it's clean
racist racist. I apologize for the racist air that I breathe.
I'm crying about it because
speaking as a white man, I'm directly responsible for all the
evils in the world by in the problem I've made the Eric
sounds racist.
Wise in the ways of service Shut up already. Science.
In this case, what is alleged is just pure greed and selfishness.
Notice similarities between Sunday's Ethiopian crash that
happened and the one that happened in Indonesia planes
that are in the air will be grounded. If they're the 737 max
grounded,
President Maduro is blaming the United States without proof
accusing us hackers of sabotaging their electrical
grid, quipping the nation and leading to chaos. You have
grounded.
It's curious because the President seems to get along
just swimmingly with lots of other brutal dictators around
the world and you do not have the kind of customer
satisfaction that you're alluding to.
I mean, everything leaves a trail nowadays.
This is the worst scandal involving elite universities in
the history of the United States.
Maybe they work hard, but someone else just paid it way to
get into university. I think that's a bit unfair to those who
didn't get it.
You have grounded let's start with your ideology first. For
people who don't know where you stand. Would you say that you
you're more liberal or less liberal than AOC Nancy Pelosi,
Beto O'Rourke is launching his campaign in Iowa this morning.
He becomes the 13th Democrat to officially join the race.
Careful what you wish for.
You have grounded
