Okay, we're gonna start delivering dog turds to his
house. Adam curry, John C Devorah. It's
Thursday, April 4 2019. This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode 1126.
This is no agenda,
celebrating our intersectionality and
broadcasting live from the capital of the drone Star state
here in downtown Austin Tejas in the Columbia in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're doing a
present for show. I'm John C. Dvorak. Gil, did you give me
some of that horn in the morning to you? In the morning to you in
the morning all ships at sea?
Yes. So did you bring your AARP card to the show?
Tomorrow is my birthday. I know but didn't anticipation because
today on the show you guys sending me those cards as I was
50.
Today on the show, you get a free serving of waffles. You
bring your card. I know they're trying to hook me to I'm feeling
pretty bad. Yes, tomorrow. 67 Holy moly. Yeah, there you go.
Can I ask you? I think I asked you this every year. I'm gonna
ask it again. Does it suck?
Well, I wouldn't say that. It sucks. It's just that there are
there are downsides to it. Okay.
Okay, maybe physical.
Everything's slow. It's not that even.
Okay, what's the downside?
You know, it's just downside I just hard to explain. For the
most part is fine, because you get the you're smarter, you get
stuff done. You can berate people, because they don't know
what they're talking about. Know what you're talking
about. And you also don't care what they
think of you. Oh, yes. Well, that's the best part. Yeah. So
you infect them with that model all along. So it's like, I've
kind of built up to the point where they don't, you know, I
don't care what they think. And they don't care what they think
either. It's like, as good as just give us a graphic. I should
have been retired years ago.
You kind of infected me with that. When we started the show.
It took me a long time to figure it out. It's like what, cuz you
can be direct.
That's like a New Yorker.
No, just No, no, no. direct way. Like, wow. And then it's over.
And then you move on to the next
thing. Yeah, it's time saver.
Anyway. Did you have interaction with human beings this past
couple of days?
That went to the store? I think,
I mean, human beings, you know, and trust
a couple of days ago. Why? What do they do? Well,
because I want to know, also from the troll room. How many
times in conversation did you say to your friend or your
partner or your spouse? That's true. That's true. That's true.
It is true. It's stuck in my head. Tina and I are doing it
all the time. That's true. That's true. I
hear I'm starting to hear Trump say it on the newscast say this,
it's really people say that a lot. Like, like the expert does.
That's true. Yeah. With a with a little singing song. You think
at the end of it?
You can you can also I tweeted it today. I learned this from
Tina, you put little musical note in front and and and after
the that's true. And that accentuates that even more?
Well give me an example. Well,
that's it's an it's an emoji. You do the music note.
Oh, the Oh, the emoji to the music.
Emoji. Cool. Yeah. That's true. That's true.
I have to try and wean myself off of that now. But whenever
you definitely, whenever you hear, whenever you hear the
words, that's true, you'll be thinking have no agenda. There's
not much you can do about it.
Okay, it's our latest and greatest. So
there's like a lot of stuff today. And you had more clips
than usual as well. Oh, yeah. But a lot of them
are pulls the, you know, clips of clips or a lot of ISOs. Like
a lot of ISOs because there's some gems. The way we want to
start it is you know, there was this couple of scandals, you
know, phony scandals, and now the New York Times just came out
with an article saying that they that that guy bar Bill bar or
whatever his name is the Attorney General. Attorney
General, he misses misleading the country and that report is
going to be damning. Yes. And who's who they get this from
unspecified
sources, sources, sources sources.
So it's like what are you guys never going to give up on this?
No, you're not going to You've ever they've due to blood oath.
Well, actually, let
me let me play the this circulated on social media. It's
20 seconds. Jake Tapper of CNN.
So now as usual you take the president at his words and his
tweets
he wants to release but I'm not sure what you're saying the
media got wrong but the media reported what would the
investigation was going on? I other than the people in the
media on the left, not on this network. I don't know anybody
who got anything wrong. We didn't say that
there was conspiracy with the Muller was investigating
conspiracy.
You know, and Jake Tapper himself may actually be true.
He's pretty straight laced that guy.
Maybe him but everybody else is often
to say CNN didn't do that. But these pulleys
so let's take a look. There was an oversight committee meeting
that was funny. And it got all this is
the one for the for the amendment. Yeah, I watched that
and just it got boring. In fact, it was so boring at the end of
everyone's little statement, they would say I move to strike
the last word. I don't get though I had to look it up. It's
sort of mean it's a procedural trick, since each side only gets
five minutes. You don't actually yield your time. And if by it's
it's a trick by saying move to strike the last line than the
clock is not, you know, it's not added to the clock and you can
just keep talking. That's why you know, it's something that
should last 10 minutes, five minutes for each side lasted you
know, an hour and a half.
Well, I do have some some sub clips of the whole thing that
are worth listening to their net. Some of them are longer
than others. There's not there's only one real long one which is
definitely worth listening to, which is core AOC rambling on
about God knows watch.
Well, this is interesting. Again, I'm the one that
introduced us to AOC said keep an eye on her. And you scoffed
and guffaw and latched on to Yeah, she's an idiot. Okay,
well, then
whatever. dealer, you want to listen to her clip first,
because
I was already for the for the subcommittee.
Well, let's go AOC oversight comments. Okay, so there's two
things and one of them was this woman, the main one that was
bitching and moaning about this woman was calling on Saturday
morning, nobody knew about it, and they couldn't get to the
meeting. And she's the one of the women that works on security
security clearances, and she's made a big stink about the fact
that they're not doing them right. In the end, Trump is
overriding
them. Yes. Wasn't this a whistleblower? This was a
whistleblowers, supposedly a
whistleblower, but she's not blowing the whistle on anything
illegal. She's blowing on a price just blowing the whistle
on a process issue. And I think there's legitimate but it's not
it's not the end of the world legitimate. But so they had a
big stink about it. And here, I want to play this. So let's go
to Jordan. This is Jordan says Jordan on here. makes a fuss on
the about the oversight.
Couple days ago on a Saturday, you scheduled a transcribed
interview with Miss Newbold on a Saturday and didn't tell the
Republicans until the day before 330 today before you schedule a
8:30am interview for the very next day at the organizational
meeting of this committee, you pledged you would not do that.
You said closed door testimony would be done so that members
could attend but you pick a Saturday on a week we're not
even in session. And tell us the day before. And then yesterday.
Yesterday you issue a press release. handpick Terry pick
parts of her testimony, Miss new bolts testimony and you issue a
big memo and a big press release. After interviewing one
witness. That's how we're going to do investigations in the
Oversight Committee. Oh yeah, talk to one person and then
issue a big press statement so you can get some headlines.
First a Saturday, deposition. Then yesterday, a press release
after talking to just one witness where you handpick a few
parts of her testimony. And now today. Now today, we're going to
subpoena a guy who just sent us a letter saying he's willing to
come here voluntarily. I've been on this committee 10 years I've
never seen anything like this. Please never seen anything like
this. I haven't done it. I haven't say what else I've never
seen. I tell what else I've never seen I've never seen a
witness come in front of this committee and lie to us seven
times and us not as a committee do something about it. On behalf
of the American people, we're very tired of this. Just these
guys,
Jordans grandstanding, but everybody is yeah,
that's what I'm saying. The whole thing is I think the we
figured it out by now.
And so, but they come up with the damn this stuff. It's really
interesting if you just kind of break Get down, for example.
This is Jackie Speier. And this is not her whole thing. Everyone
took their full three to five minutes. I think it was five
minutes they were allowed to at least three, but I think it was
five in this case. I just have a minute of Jackie Speier. There's
a very interesting logic in here, where she goes on and on
about something that apparently didn't even happen according to
Jordan. It was had to do with a janitor who was supposedly a
janitor, and just some random janitor was giving us given us a
security clearance by Trump, supposedly, but it Jordan says
this never happened. And you can hear him in there bitching about
it. But here because they don't like to be kibitzing, but they
do it. As you just heard with Cummings. kibitzing with you
when Jordan was talking. You did it. This is Jackie Speier.
And she knows that her only hope to bring some sanity back to
this process is to bring it to Congress. And finally, the
ranking member had talked about the janitor whose clearance was
suggested to not be provided. And he was mocking Why would we
be concerned about that? When Mr. Jordan, the reason why we're
concerned about persons who are at low level positions is
because oftentimes they are ripe to be bribed. I didn't talk
about that. And the intelligence community in the United States
and across the world focuses in on people who are in need of
financial resources as potential assets. You bet we should be
concerned about everyone who works in the White House, who
after being reviewed for a national security clearance is
recommended not to get one. You bet. We want to know why. You
bet we want to know that there is some justification for it.
And if there isn't, they shouldn't be working in the
White House or anywhere else.
That's right, Nancy Drew.
Well, wait, you missed a point there. All right, well, you
don't have a security clearance. You shouldn't be working in the
White House or anywhere else
anywhere, some justification for why they shouldn't be working in
the White House or anywhere else
shouldn't be working anywhere. What is she saying? Okay, well,
she's an idiot. Now let's move on to the one that I really
wanted to clip and I've got two ISOs out of it, including a DECA
structed ISO. So I got three ISOs. Because they're so funny.
This is AOC. And the funny thing about her because ROH Khan and
some of these other people are on this committee. And and you
have to listen very carefully at the end, by the way, there's all
these different justice Democrats on this committee.
They all got put there for some reason.
And well remember, they buy their way in you have to have
money, you have
to have the assignment supposed to be doled out by somebody,
Nancy.
Right. She said, how much money you got?
Well, there's that element. So anyway, so she's on his and she
always feels like putting in her two cents, even if she has,
because they give her a script. And she kind of reads from it
for a while. And then she kind of wanders off of it. And then
it's, it sounds like she's insane. Because the script is
always pre written before the conversation begins. And so they
never can really give her the exact right script. And I don't,
I think they do send some, I think there was Wi Fi, I'm not
sure in some of these committee meetings, because I think
they're because she's reading off her computer screen. So it's
possible, but he or she goes off the deep end with just
blabbering on about nothing.
Now, I'm going to listen to this in the following manner, knowing
that she has a script. And when she goes off script, that's when
it gets fun for us. At the same time, give her a couple of
years.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think it's important that we refocus
on what is at stake here in this investigation in this matter. We
are getting reports from the press and from a wide variety of
sources that indicate that, you know, that that people are, you
know, folks are suggesting that we are conducting foreign
relations with folks with security clearances via
WhatsApp. I mean, every day that we go on without getting to the
bottom of this matter is a day that we are putting hundreds if
not potentially 1000s of Americans at risk. I mean,
really what is next putting nuclear codes in Instagram, DMS,
this is ridiculous. We need to get to the bottom of this. And
in order to do that we have to issue subpoenas because people
in this administration, by the way
that was well written. I think that's a good one. The nuclear
codes in Instagram DM
Yes, well written but who's the audience is sure that those guy
sitting in that room? Oh, no,
no, no, no. Yeah, we know what these hearings are for. They're
all about the sound bite cheese. There are
plenty of him in here. She's a sound bite missile
are not cooperating. And every day that there is an insecure
line of communication that could be leaked, that could be hacked,
that could be screenshotted. Without with without our proper
channels is a day that we are putting our national security at
risk. So the reason why we have to conduct and have these
accommodations is because we are a committee that is committed to
protecting whistleblowers, and I do have to commend the ranking
member and to see the coordination between the ranking
member in the chair in a commitment to risk
whistleblowers, not just in respecting them, but in
protecting them.
You know, in hindsight, and I just have to interrupt here. The
news of the whistleblower came so fast and furious. I feel it
was you know, it was a lot of coordination going on. It hit
the news, whistleblower, this was every channel whistleblower
whistleblower. And usually that takes a little bit
before you have said this is this is something scam ish about
this whole thing, whistleblower, and all this high and mighty Oh,
we do whistleblower what they said at the Thomas Drake and
Binney, these guys, those are whistleblowers. Yeah,
those are whistleblowers.
Exactly. Guys got the guns, pointed at dirty hands by the
FBI. What kind of protection? Did they get? None. No,
is really admirable and important. And I wanted to note
that because because this is it, this is what protecting
whistleblowers looks like, when they need a certain
accommodation because they fear retaliation. We have to make
accommodations, this committee in particular, as the Oversight
Committee in the House of Representatives, we have a
unique responsibility to protect those that have the courage to
come out and say when something is wrong, regardless of the
administration.
Very good. She's good, John, this is good. Even in prior
administrations, it you know, it doesn't matter the party when
something is going wrong in government, when there is
overreach, when there is an abuse or or misconduct of
process, we have an obligation to see and investigate it out.
And so I it is so serious, especially as a New Yorker,
especially as as anyone who cares about the security of what
happens on American soil every day that we have an insecure
line of communication, we have a responsibility to investigate it
and to make sure that that is that that we get to the bottom
of it. So I I just needed to put that note in I yield the yield.
Yes.
Just want to just just add on to what you have said. First of
all, thank you for your courage you're very eloquent comments.
Eloquent, which means you're a well spoken black person.
Close Cummings is black guy he?
I know. I know. He can say whatever he wants, but
eloquent. Ah. She's good. She's stammers she's she doesn't know
what she's talking about. She says violation of process and
some awkward way. She's talking about Instagram. It's got
nothing to do with anything and what's app I mean, whatever else
it was. It's It's It's ludicrous. Listen to the here's
a couple of I took some some potential potential in the show.
Right. Okay. That's play. I saw one.
We are conducting foreign relations with folks with
security clearances, via
WhatsApp. That's a soundbite, but it's too long for me to
show.
Here's the short one. And number two, this is ridiculous.
Yeah, that's good. That's a good one.
I like but then I got this other one. This is her part of her
statement that needs deconstruction, if you listen to
it carefully. It's just again, some it's moronic commentary,
and every day
that there is an insecure line of communication that could be
leaked, that could be hacked. That could be screenshotted.
Without with without proper channels is a day that we are
putting our national security at risk. Oh,
I want to hear it again. Screen way screenshotted without proper
channels, just hear it what does that mean? Just hear it again,
every day that there is an insecure line of communication
that could be leaked, that could be hacked, that could be
screenshotted. Without without our proper channels is a day
that we
know what's happening there. This was a script with an ad lib
she in stir inserted her own ad lib about the screen. So if you
listen, it's a full sentence. When she's goes off about
screenshotting just remove that and then you can hear the
script. Come to the top and
every day that there is an insecure line of communication
that could be leaked that could be hacked that could be
screenshotted without Without our proper channels is a day
that we are putting our national security at risk. Really the
without proper channels should have been moved forward. She
just threw some words in there and she tripped up. That's
what's happening. I think that's very that's very simple.
Here's the problem. Here's the problem with your theory versus
mine with this woman, if she given gets reelected. She is
that I believe that dumb is dumb. You mean you can't believe
that? You can't you can't fix stupid. Yes. You don't believe
that with her? You think that she's a potentially some sort of
a bartending genius? No, it will do emerge as as a bit of force.
It may as a force of the Democrat party now can I just
don't see it can fix stupid is exactly right.
I don't think she's stupid. I don't think she's done. I think
she is a sound bite missile. And she is a very, very effective
tool. And I will put
the might get the tool part, right. Yeah.
But I, you know, we've had a lot of presidents who are tools. And
I'm not saying she's would still be president. But she's she is
very effective right now. And she does something interesting,
which is she gets your goat.
She only gets my goat because it works. And it was in the show
struck? Sure. And that you think that she's just fabulous. And it
just irks me.
Sorry. I didn't say I never said she was fabulous. I didn't say
that. But now that you met now, now that you mentioned it. Yeah,
she's fabulous. Absolutely go. I think she's, she's a joy to
watch. She is
Joy. Joy to watch.
She is very well trained. She is Yes. Yep. She but she's she is
she's doing a improv. And in live, we're watching her develop
in real time. So I
haven't seen her develop it all.
Well, you're right, because I have one AOC clip, I always keep
some handy for you in case you need a little fix. Now, this is
a non scripted, she's on Instagram, trying to assemble
some flat pack furniture, which that will there was steam coming
out of her ears. Maybe it was solder smoke, I don't know. And
here all of a sudden she gets pissed off at something someone
said in the comment. And here we go. Tonight, the deep end oops,
this one sorry.
At least I'm not trying to cage children in the border and
inject them with drugs. That's not a mistake. That is a
deliberate policy to attack people based on their national
origin. That's not a mistake. That's just hatred. That's just
cruelty. That's just wrong.
And that is a very effective message. And she spread it out
to in stop. And unlike this, you know, these bullcrap sessions
where you might get a sound bite on M five M, this goes to her
core constituents and they'll and they'll hear that and they
believe that she said very convincingly.
Yeah, the knuckle draggers in her district
Yeah, we got this internet thing you know people people do
communicate across districts
and he I have one more clip does another guy don't like I don't
like Jamie Raskin. He goes off about one thing or another all
the time. He's just a real and he always looks like can someone
just maybe suggest, I mean, I think is interesting that he
likes Bernie Sanders so much that he implements his
hairstyle, but I think a comb would be in order once in a
while or a brush. Or maybe you know, the, you know, maybe
splash some water on his face. I don't know. He just got out of
bed. But here he is bitching about whistle. Here's Jamie
Raskin goes nuts about whistleblowers.
This woman is an American hero. For what she's doing. She's
standing up for American people. And she comes in she says,
this is her final hope. Wait a minute, where was this? Not this
is okay. Now we see the coordination. They were really
trying to ignite something with this with a security clearance
whistleblower, and no one bid. It died on the vine. Yeah, I
did. Yes. It was a concerted effort. Where was where was
Raskin? And who is Raskin?
He's in the hearing. This is part of that same hearing. You
said you watched the whole thing and thought was incredibly
boring. No, I thought it was well, I'm going to agree with
you and incredibly boring, but you obviously missed some of the
good stuff. Yeah, it goes nuts. I isolate on these guys. I know.
Hey,
do you know what I just listened to that? I was great. I was
talking about the amendment hearing that I didn't see any of
this.
Okay, well, here we go.
This woman is an American hero. For what she's doing. She is
standing up for American people and she comes in she says this
is her final hope to come To the oversight committee, to Mr.
Cummings, to Chairman Cummings in the members, and what do we
get from the other side? Well, the President can do whatever he
wants. You know why? Because we got to King in America. Forget
the American Revolution. Forget the constitution. We got to
King, the president can do whatever he wants. Now, we have
no rule of law that applies to the president. The president can
fire anybody he wants. The president can squelch criminal
investigations. The president can tell prosecutors to drop
cases against people. We've got a king in America. They've
elected us a king Mr. Please clap.
Okay, now what's wrong with What'd he do? What was what
where's this guy coming from? Because I'm telling you, this
was an elite going off the deep end, when he gave himself away
and I have the the ISO of it, okay, where he says he
arrogantly and patronizingly says they they've elected us, a
king. Mr. Chairman,
oh, let's listen to that. Again. They've elected as a king. Okay,
explain your motivation behind this.
They is they is the other which means the public. Yes, this
lecture is the serfs serve, serve serve. The serves had have
elected us. Yeah, he didn't say we elected. We apparently elect
a Kenyan say that. He says they elected us
thinking, yep.
That is the most arrogant thing anybody can say in Congress.
Because what he does is he puts himself above the fray. It's not
he's not part of the public. They they they, man this is
really bad. You're right. But he had Congress says this. This is
a I think this is abhorrent that somebody would say they've
elected us a king. I'm gonna give you borderline. Gotta take
your award. like there's no tomorrow. But it's like, I mean,
he couldn't get he couldn't stop himself from saying it. But
that's what he really that's a great catch. He's above the
public. That is you think she's something special. That's why I
don't like this guy. Jamie Raskin. Did you This is him. Did
you catch this in first time? He's special. He's a creep.
Did you catch this first time around? It was the second time.
Oh, yeah. I got it right away. Yeah, that's good. They've
elected
as the kings.
Oh, yes. I shall wrestle my pearls. They've elected as a
king. Stupid serfs. Yep. Good work. Well, that's it, we can go
home.
We are done. Actually,
I listened in on. I was also watching some C span. And this
was, let me see. This was Massie, Congressman Massey from
Kentucky. And he was talking to the cigar, spelled si ga our
cigar is the Special Investigator general Afghanistan
reconstruction. And apparently, this cigar meets with the small,
very small pet. There's almost no one there. Very small, little
panel, some oversight committee, and they talk about how
everything's gone in the budget to reconstruct Afghanistan is a
little introduction, which kind of shows you that this is the
cigar. So he's he's the guy that supposed to be uncovering
everything and reporting on expenditure, etc. But it's very
amicable. It's all buddy buddy.
I've quit preparing for these hearings. Because this is like
Groundhog Day. I just show up every 18 months and asked the
same. This is Massey questions, you get the same answers, but
the numbers are bigger. Every time I asked the question in
2015, I asked you how much we spent on Reconstruction. Which
by the way, I think I'd like to change the name, your title of
your job, change reconstruction to nation building, because I
don't think people understand that's what we're tracking is
our effective mis at nation building. But in 2015, I asked
you and it was 113 billion that we had spent cumulative in 2017.
I think it was September 2017. It was 121 billion was spent.
Can you tell me here today and 2019? How much have we spent on
reconstructing Afghanistan?
Well, our Congress has appropriated 132 point 3
billion. Okay, so we're making sure
you always give me the decimal point afterwards. I appreciate
that level
to qualify that and I know you are an expert on on numbers
here, but we still have 10 point 8 billion in the pipeline.
Well, what are we waiting on? Let's see ended, I will send
that message immediately back, please don't
bite. So is this when this start and like, Oh, that's
interesting. So they're all just laughing about that $10 billion.
That meanwhile, we've got, you know, the 100,000 people a month
showing up at the border, we can't get 8 billion to do
something. All right? That is so funny. But then what is our
number one field of interest in Afghanistan, on this show? The
poppies, the poppy fields, For we know that this is what the
Taliban was making all their money off of, and we had to
eradicate the poppy fields. And, and by the way, that would have
a fantastic effect of stopping the or at least slowing down
some of the production of heroin. And I think if we look
at what's going on in the United States, certainly it's stocks
are up sales are up things are good. How are we doing with that
eradication? How is our drug interdiction
Another question is on the war on drugs that we're conducting
over there? Every time you come, I ask how much have we spent
eradicating Poppy? And then I asked, How much Poppy are they
making or to what effect have our eradication efforts been
effective,
eradication has absolutely had no effect on the amount of poppy
being produced. We said that and I think we briefed you or your
staff when we came out with this Lessons Learned report our
narcotics. As a matter of fact, none of our programs, not one
has been effective in Afghanistan, on fighting
narcotics
now. And so what's the price tag so far? Cumulative? Since we
started that F Well,
the only good news I think, sir, is we're spending a lot less on
Counter Narcotics than we did before. So are you I think it's
about $9 billion. Am I correct? $9 billion, we've spent on
Counter Narcotics.
9 billion and do they make it? Do they produce more poppy now
than they did in 10 years ago? Or or whenever last salutely
any growth crops and
1% 1% of their GDP does opium and poppy products think the
estimate and this is kind of squishy? Because they don't file
tax returns? So Right? It's kind of difficult, and you're no
really GDP? I think it's proximately 30%? Yeah, I would
have to get back. It's about 30%. It's the largest cash crop.
And I believe it's about 30% of the GDP. Whoo.
So somehow, this didn't make the headlines. But I think there
might be some correlation between this failure and just
how big that failure is. He explains in the third and final
clip,
but So real quickly is that the the, the amount of interdiction
that we have done over the last 10 years, and we've done a lot
of interdiction is still only equal to less than 5% of what
was produced in 2017. So you take all the interdiction we did
over the last 10 years, and you will see happy talk coming out
of Afghanistan. Oh, we just caught this other lab. We just
blew up this lab, we just well, you add it all up for 10 years,
my staff did that. And it's equal to less than 5% of the
2017 crop. Now the 2017 crop decreased to 2018. That's good
news. But everyone admits it has nothing to do with our programs.
It's because of drought.
Okay, maybe global climate change. That's one positive
effect in Afghanistan.
Drought love these guys. By the way, that is the Clip of the
Day. No, thank you. But I liked the way these guys just Yuk it
out. Take your point about here. We spent 10 billion on this and
we had 10 billion in the pipeline. We don't know what to
do with it and we spent $9 billion on eradication we
haven't killed one popular we got 5% of last year's and that
was because of drought. Yeah, they're bitching about the 6
billion for the border wall. Exactly.
You know what I saved let's call up our buddies over there
Monsanto and then we'll drop some Roundup Ready on that shit
done.
You could wipe that crop out they don't You're obviously not
doing anything they're not bombing the crop they're not
doing anything to the crop protecting the crop adding the
drugs
John yes they're protecting the crop they protect the crop the
CIA runs it. Yeah, watch the the was that the real was a real
American president Denzel Washington.
American Gangster.
That's what I meant. American Gangster watch that based on a
true story.
True story about how we were running drugs out of true story.
Golden Triangle.
Yeah. In coffins.
Yeah, in coffins.
were great. We are great. By the
way, this is a this is a complete waste of money. And
it's a fiasco and a fraud and a scam. And you're right. Where's
the media on this? Go? Please. Have you seen a front page story
in The New York Times saying that this is a scam or fraud?
No, you haven't even seen a story about it because they're
too preoccupied with the dwarfs who turned Trump and as soon as
so called whistleblower war.
I didn't even see whoa, wait. A little person. What's her name
again?
I can't remember. Whistleblower won't even do this thing. They
forced her into it. The Democrats are cruel.
This is fantastic. I didn't know that she was dwarf.
I know what she suffers the way they put it more mildly than I
did. Which is she suffers from dwarfism.
Oh, I see. Oh, yes. She Oh, is that what you're supposed to
say? She suffers from dwarfism. Yeah, if she was homeless, she
could suffer from dwarfism while dwarfism while experiencing
homelessness.
Experiencing Yeah.
Now she's the perfect whistleblower.
Yeah, I know. I see great.
Courage. You went to Central Casting and you said, Give me a
whistleblower that people will remember.
Yeah. Hey, let's forget about about, you know, Binney, William
Binney, and Thomas Drake and all these two guys, how about
Snowden and Snowden he's a whistleblower. But now Now he's
now he's a criminal. That guy he's not to
be protected. Now. Speaking of
all practical purposes, I think Julian Assange is in that boat.
Totally. I just wanted to mention I quick movie review the
dirt. This you will hate this, so don't watch it. Okay, dirt is
this is a movie about Motley Crue and I know Tommy Lee pretty
well. And Nicky six, I hung out with him in Moscow. When we were
doing the Moscow music Peace Festival. This is a very good
movie. I mean, if you're really into 80s, you know, just the 80s
and the LA rainbow scene, et cetera. And you know, Tina was
was like dozing off on the couch even woke up then she doesn't
watch any ship movie. So, but you won't like a joke because
you need the Motley crews. Do you know Molly's
not my style. I was not part of the LA rainbow scene or anything
like that. Wouldn't be if I was invited. Here's the
thing that irked me, they they cast this so well. They had
really fantastic actor, their mannerisms. It was so good.
Right down the dock McGee, their sleazy manager, but then
whenever they show on MTV thing, it's like some numbness Dumbo,
who never looked like it didn't didn't look like anyone on MTV
at the time. Whereas clearly they should have gotten Adam
curry look like
they didn't have an Adam curry look like. No, it's not that
hard to do. You just get you know, you get an old Tina Turner
wig, make it blonde and put it on somebody's head and make them
the guy.
Wow. Men with thin hair should not speak so loud. I still got
all mine. Gramps. Right. You how's the Rogaine subscription
guy thing? Your D? I think we're like looking at wig time.
Okay, and I just have to explain. I need some help from
our producers. I don't know if our Mondo Guerra Armando is
still listening. My mail carrier the old the old old place here
in Austin, might I'm having a problem with the post office
with the United States Postal systems that Greg
we talked about. No, no. I mentioned it to you after the
show. Oh, yeah. This is a great grace. Especially with you.
Yeah, this is the second time, I should mention that, that this
has happened to you.
Right? Well, we'll come around to that. So the keeper and I
bought a house together. We're very excited about it. And it's
in southeast Austin. And there's, you know, there's new
homes being built there. So this was a home that was new, and be
on the market for a little bit. And you know, we've been looking
around for a while. And so, you know, we find the side this is
it. And it's on a cul de sac with homes. You know, there's
two more homes by the two or three more homes by the same
builder. And then there's older homes, maybe 15 years old. And
the they don't have mailboxes in this area. There's a a cluster
of mailboxes up at the top of the cul de sac so the mail
carrier can just do one stop I guess it's too much to go down
the the cul de sac or
a bed he drives down the coldest sack and go from door to door.
So after closing couple of weeks ago, so Okay, well how about the
mailbox, we're gonna have the key now you have to go to the
post office. So go the post office, the one that I've
located nearby, and it's a it's an old it's a distribution
center for that whole section of Austin, but it's awesome. You is
a little rickety to person post office and, you know, it's like
a door that 18,000 People have kicked against with another
little door that opens, you know, a little, a little windows
that can talk to you. So it's it's not high tech, let's put it
that way. Say where's my key? Okay, go through all this. They
can't find it. I have no idea this this is very odd. And I
keep asked for that address No, no don't have the key we have We
probably lost it. And by the way, I could see that the the
key system is a piece of wood on the on the wall with nails in it
with numbers written on it. That's the key system. Just you
know, hand scribbled. So, you know, five days later, I go,
Yeah, we got your keys, I take the keys, open up the mailbox,
and there's my neighbor's mail. And then I get an email from
them saying, Hey, do you know anything about the mailbox
because our key doesn't work anymore. So now I just been
given their key. So after another week of going back and
forth, it turns out that they're not when when this mailbox
cluster was built, they didn't make enough for the number of
homes because this home didn't exist before. It's an it's a new
home on this cul de sac. And so there's no space. And I said,
Okay, what are we gonna do? Well, we'll figure it out.
Meanwhile, mail is being Returned to sender. I go in and
I say could you look, I have a peel box here. Could you please
put my mail on the PIO box? They can't do that. The guy who's the
the supervisor, Roy, whose last name I can't even seem to
obtain. You know, he's never there's no he has been coming in
late this week. You know, at a certain point yesterday, I'm
like, Look at this face. This is the face that is going to get
you all court martialed with the Postmaster General. And we still
have no keys, this address doesn't exist, there's no
mailbox, we might as well just not be there at all.
Now, I should mention a couple of things that were explained to
me. The post office does isn't run as a as a complete
administrative system, it is run pretty much like the Swiss
cantons or a feudal system, where the postmasters of the
various areas, the little, they run their own their own scene.
And some of them run it really slick operations, very modern,
they have all the tools, and others don't have that they
they're more funky. That's why in your case, it's okay to have
that with actual houses in a cul de sac. In most of the areas,
the postmasters in California would not allow that they would
have them delivered to the houses,
that's the most secure and safe. I agree. Yes,
and that's the way it's done. But apparently your little post
office district is run by some guys from the 18th century, who
had to deliver on horse and there was a lot of dogs in the
area. So they had to have this box away from the homes and
not to be honest, this we are living on. Remember, it's Adam
and Tina. You know, this is not the Beyonce and Jay Z. So we're
on the frontier of what is still acceptable distance from top
down. So there's not a lot out there. Yeah.
Sticks. And so the relative sticks. But the point is, is
that to put in your you just happened to be in a postal area
where the postmaster is a screw up. Yeah. And he doesn't care.
And you can't do anything about it. Because if you make a big
fuss with the real postmaster, the one in Washington DC note
comes down and it goes Who the hell shank that knew that
somebody's making trouble around here. Has anybody been coming in
here making a fuss? They can't get their mail for some reason.
And now they're bitching to the postmaster. Who Adam curry? Or
Okay, we're gonna start delivering dog turds to his
house. You're screwed.
Well, unfortunately, that's exactly the path I took, which I
guess is not the smartest one. I expect? Well, they can't know
that they're going to deliver the turds. I don't have a box
that was delivered to the front and front door that put him down
in bags and light them on fire, hoping to stomp them out. I know
what I mean. I don't know. All I know is you're just getting your
digging shot you're not gonna get out of this is you're gonna
have to be real nice and start giving gifts. Probably that's
it, you got to bribe the guy. Send him a bunch of Franklin's
barbecue.
I know what the problem is. I think the problem is that these
boxes were put there by the original builder of the original
homes 1520 years ago, and the post office didn't pay for him.
The contractor paid for them. And I think that's the problem
is no one wants to pay for a bigger box.
Well, apparently that's what you're gonna have to do, my
friend.
Well, we'll see. But on the other hand, I may not get any
property property tax bill since I don't exist.
Well, now there's There you go. Possibility. Well, the thing is,
then they catch up But then your next thing you know you're in
arrears to
history. I'm in jail. You mean? Yes. That's
awesome. Texas jail. Yeah. Oh, that's
not not that much better man, Texas do.
Well, now let's what I might give a preface preface preface
to this little speech of yours. This kind of happened when you
move into where you are now,
yes, this was a new building a year old, had a different
problem, which I haven't even gotten to yet. Because, you
know, our my credit card, my bank statements are all at this
address. But when I moved here, even though I was in the in the
banks database, and they knew who I was, with my appropriate
zip code, this building didn't exist in this magical online
database, part of the microservices architecture that
provides quick and handy lookup of addresses, which I guess is
refreshed every once in a while, but it hadn't. That's that's the
problem. Once in a while. This, whoever visa was using at the
time just said if we can't find this address, it doesn't exist.
So you can't order anything.
It's very interesting.
It's, well, there's a lot of in fact, this whole, just dealing
with cable oh, by the way, I also couldn't get Google Fiber
18 T fiber. The online systems don't recognize you. Because
here's my address. Now. Sorry, we don't serve us now.
Meanwhile, my neighbor, one neighbor has 18 T fiber, the
other neighbor has Google Fiber, I can't get it. I can't You
can't call Google. Google Fiber, you can't call. You can go to
the Google Fiber store. And then some Google woman will sit there
and use the same online system I just used his mom. Computer says
now. We can't do this. This isn't you can't have it.
This is the this is your microservices architecture world
we're living in that people don't even realize.
So I'm stuck with spectrum. Now. It's $240 a month for 500
megabits per second. Dang, yeah. Well, I have to establish the
residence that exists. Had you
gotten a post office box? That did? Yeah. That's a plus use
that? Well, yeah, I
have to know. And I wouldn't mind if I could actually get
them to put my mail into the post office box and not return
it as Return to Sender.
Did you put a change of address note in?
This was all promised to me by Roy the supervisor?
Well, yeah, well, you had to put a change of notes. And
I'm still hopeful that something is
if you go eight ways, let's hear me out here might give you a
little bureaucratic insight. If this
is true, you would know the bureaucratic ways.
Once the notice is put in, and as a piece of physical paper,
they have to pay attention to it. These verbal agreements
don't mean anything. But if there's this there's a piece of
paper in there, that's that's in there, it's in the system, and
you don't get your mail where it's supposed to go, then you
can point to that and they all you did it guys screwed up. They
can be written up. There's all kinds of problems that can
happen. If it's just a verbal agreement and nothing comes of
it. You can't you get nothing to stand on. You have to do the
paperwork. Okay. Good point.
Oh, yeah, by the way, everything you talk to them there is
written down a little little post it note. Okay, yeah, I'll
write that down.
Yeah, yeah. That's actually a pretty good answer. Great to
throw away. Your old address and the post office box is where
everything should go. That will solve that issue immediately.
There was a suggestion to start mailing myself bricks to get
them to get their attention. Returned to sender? I
don't know about
that. No. Okay, thank you. That's some sage advice. We
still don't know if that will ever fix my issue with companies
but
you don't have to somehow I think you're gonna have to talk
to the mayor, probably a form
form.
There's probably a form somewhere that would solve this
problem. If you could find the form and fill it out and give it
to them. That would solve the problem. But I don't know what
that form is. You're gonna do more research, but I guarantee
there's a form I saw that the contractors the guys who put the
stupid boxes out on Friday, they probably had to fill something
out. Yeah, find out what that is. And then you fill it out and
you know, see what happens. It was just very disheartening.
When I actually met the the mail carrier Brian, who was he was
able to explain it to me more simply because he deals with it
every day. He says But yeah, that was just junk, man. Like
throw everything out. Nothing's nothing's really coming for you.
Like, really? I'd like my junk mail. Please don't throw my junk
mail out. Because you never know what can be in there. From Hey,
but we handle it. TriCity, the good news is we have
electricity, we have conductivity. And, and we'll be
in. We're doing the slow move a couple of weeks and we'll be
there. We'll be done. Be Over. Yep.
You're doing the slow move, slow
move at Tina's idea. I like it a lot. We don't have that much
stuff. You know, I went kind of minimalist. Well, the clue do
would become a disaster area, mainly with stuff people send me
so I had to create a box labeled collectibles. That has now
that's where I put all the stuff that people are sending you. Oh
my god. challenge coins. Start there. Wood. That's so that's
doesn't take up a lot of guys from Michigan, Michigan, local
one, you know, there's a lot of automobile related stuff.
There's stuff from the meetups. It's just tons of stuff. I can't
I cannot bring myself to toss any of it. I just hope my
daughter or some other grandchild at one point goes,
Wow, look what grandpa and grandpa had him had. This is
pretty interesting.
Could be are you just auctioned it off?
Please. That's what are supposed to do the last time I purged?
Yeah, well,
you're not a big collector. wouldn't worry about it. Hey,
I'm
gonna break everything up here. And I'm just going to bring us
something from a different part of the world because it is
humorous but also understandable. Perhaps this is
from radio Ukraine,
with almost 100% of the presidential election first
round votes counted. Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky, is leading
the race to become Ukraine's next president. According to the
Central Election Commission of Ukraine, presidential candidates
Volodymyr Zelensky, and incumbent President Petro
Poroshenko have received 30 point 24% and 15 point 95% of
votes cast on March 31, respectively, with no one
receiving more than 50%. As the Lenski and Poroshenko are set to
face each other in a runoff in three weeks. The second round of
the election vote in Ukraine is scheduled for April 21st.
Now while this is humorous at face value, I think there's it's
understandable in a way. I don't know what kind of comedian this
guy is. But if he's like, anything like I think he is, he
probably says things in a very amusing way that have an
incredibly hard undercurrent of truth. Yeah, and people dig
that. And that's, that's a model that can be replicated what we
had that with epic Grillo and Italy, same thing. I think we
could see more of that. Chris Rock for President.
The problem with this idea is that even though you know, you
could say that Trump is kind of modeled in this way, and he's
just a clown and a host of a reality show unscripted drama is
that he did run, even though he we don't know what his
methodology was. He had a degree from Wharton and he did run a
large business of a real estate empire. You'd have to call it
that. So he had some experience managing in his way. I don't
know what it comedians ever managed. He said, I mean, they
usually have a manager. They have someone managing them they
hire a manager and an agent. Yes. So I don't know why you'd
vote for a guy like that. Unless he you know, had some, some
other skills. Maybe it was like at Chelsea was a guy from a
banker who'd became a comic and entire
district voted for AOC What do you mean, you don't know how
that works? Hello?
Yeah, well, yeah, but she's not an executive deputy head of a
country's in executive position. As a legislative physician, you
don't have to have executive experience to be a legislator.
So bartender would be a fine I think that's what you should
have. As a legislator as a bartender. Anyway,
it's it's interesting how these things are kind of laughed at in
the in the in the M five M, like, ha ha, like, that's
actually quite interesting. There's a lot of lot in fact
inappropriate laughing. And this started with Chris Rock he kind
of set the tone for Jussie Smollett, Tracy Morgan was on
The Tonight Show and Jesse came up again but you I heard you got
a new gig though.
They gave me a roll on Empire. It did. Yeah. What is your what
are you gonna do on contractually give me means I
was contractually all I gotta do is not fake. I hate crime that's
all you have to do. All I have to do. Yeah, perfect. You know,
by that story, what that will happen, man, come on. First of
all, don't embrace these people. Don't be jumping nobody in the
polar vortex. The old racist Don't be watching Empire man
who's to call me racist in his spring. It was like 10 seconds
of footage. And then he disappeared for like two
seconds. Then he reappears with the noose around his neck still
holding the subway sandwich. It's been like a Subway sandwich
go.
Now, of course, it's always good to have some comic relief, Tracy
Morgan, this is what he does. And this made me laugh. I laugh
just now hearing it again, but really was no laughing matter
what this hoax? I mean, just the it caused a lot of grief and
pain. And I think it had probably will have some lasting
effects. But this contributes to something I've been tracking.
And it's, you know, I guess politicians would say we believe
in the rule of law. And the more I think about it, America kind
of is America, I'm talking about American is definitely based on
rule of law, equal treatment under the law. And when that
goes askew, I think it's a very dangerous territory. And so
we're seeing this, not only with Jussie Smollett. And it turns
out that, that Kim Fox has offices talking to all the
State's Attorneys sending out messages saying, Hey, do you
guys have any examples of like what we did with Jesse, because
we can't find them was supposed to be 5700 of them. And there's
all kinds of weird connections there. But the same goes for
another example would be what's happening on social media? Where
it's, it seems hypocritical, but it really is a form of, of
social law, that you can do certain things, they'll get you
kicked out, you know, D platformed. Removed from life,
end of game, no free ball, no, no, just exit. And it's
happening in unequal measures. And if you see then what's
happening in California, where anything under $1,000, the cops
don't even show up, they don't care, then look at it, because
it can't be prosecuted.
Oh, yeah, this is a problem. I'll just interrupt you with
this, what's going on in San Francisco, where there are a
massive number of car break ins where somebody walks past a car
and sees a purse or something, anything inside, and then they
smashed the window. And then they grabbed the person wander
off, and it's and they can have videos of the people doing it.
And by the way, it's not cheap to fix. And it's not convenient.
There's more to it than just fixing your broken window. I
mean, it's a pain in the ass. Yeah. So they they have to get
met nap mass is under 1000 is no big deal. You know. So what? So
they chose So okay, so we can do this in San Francisco. So
they're breaking everybody's car windows throughout the city, in
some areas is just an epidemic. I mean, you have to drive around
and roll 25 year old Lexus, you know, that needs washing to feel
safe.
So this unequal treatment becomes a big problem with what
happened this past week in Charlottesville, Charlottesville
was where there was the rally the white nationalists and there
was Antifa. And the guy drove the car into the crowd woman
died, not necessarily because of being hit by the car. But you
know this, we're familiar with the situation. Jeffrey Winder
was found guilty of misdemeanor assault in February for punching
white nationalist organizer, Jason Kessler in August of 2017.
And this has happened twice. And you may not remember this one,
but it was a pretty vicious assault. The jury ruled his
punishment will be $1. Which means it's okay to punch Nazis,
or what you perceive as a Nazi. And I think this is a very bad
precedent. This this is
this Magga hat qualifies. Yeah.
Magga hat qualifies, it's only going to cost you a buck. This
inequality, which in some ways is attributable to social
justice warrior participation trophy, give the guy a chance.
We're also touchy feely. It's part of its derivative from
that. I don't know where else this comes from. But I'm just
identifying that there is unequal treatment, it's now
still being seen as hypocrisy. But there's real unequal
treatment under actual law. And I think it's very not well
thought through what is happening, what people are doing
in in these positions.
Yes, I agree.
Because the verse
you're and to accentuate it, I'll squeak my chair. That's how
much I agree with you curry.
What can I do is being worked on.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in
the morning to you the man who put the sea and Chair of squeak
John seed of arak.
In the morning you have this random curry in the morning all
chips that he boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water and all the names of knights out there in the
morning to the illustrious and elusive troll room. Hello,
trolls. Good to have you there. And it's always nice. We got
everyone's really excited. We got great pre streams happening
now and no agenda stream.com And we got just this one day, this
thing. This is our legacy, John. There's no agenda stream. We got
guys doing all kinds of shows now doing live streams talking
to each other. This should be just 24 hours a day of people
doing live stuff. I don't care if it's Nick the rat or the no
agenda show. It's all interesting.
Well, it's it is running so yeah. 10 years. And it's Yes,
finally. Yeah, to be our exit strategy.
No agenda stream.com. Also, our exit strategy in the morning to
I think it's Darren O'Neill, who brought us the artwork before
Episode 1125 Yes, it was a simple one but sometimes simple
hits it right where it needs to be hid. It was Lindsey Graham,
masquerading as the Queen. Yes. And although you know, it's
Darren just gets it. I'm very worried about Darren.
Yeah, you keep saying this? Yeah, it did it Darren doesn't
notice but Mozilla discuss it. Yeah. Adam thinks you're gonna
burn out. Because I've seen it go down in flames
now it's sometimes you get a burnout. You know, I there was a
burnout
and kind of with one say Martin JJ, but the two guys who started
the whole thing.
Yeah, it happens.
I haven't done an artwork for 10 years.
I don't know about that. But yeah, you can burn out. We're
just we just want you to be careful. That's all your all of
you are valued resources. After all, we are a network of
producers. Not a network of some shitty podcast with a union. No,
no, no, no, no, we're a network of producers and proud of it.
And we've put together a model that works and we all get
something out of it. And just like Hollywood, yes.
Darren when he goes for it, he wants to win. So he takes a
number of sites he had he had to do Lindsey Graham art which we'd
like to like because it's just goofy. funny it was visually
funny. But he also had AOC as the head of you know, he has
chaos but it could have been one of the Marvel operation what is
shield and who are they were they can't remember who their
enemy is. But they're Agents of SHIELD the TV show that you're
asking me hey all Hey, Gemini the chat rooms gonna know this.
Hail something Hail Hydra hail something.
Hydro Yeah, Hail Hydra control. Hydro, hydro,
hydro hydro,
you're right. No Hydra.
It's just so she's sitting there like that. And then he's got
like Trump that's true with with the notes around and he's got a
bunch of he produces. I'll say this. And her launch codes via
Instagram DM, which he's got for today's show. He's
already put something up he's already he's already got that
up.
It's already got two things she's got for example, is that
that's true, which is with a musical note, which he's got all
these grenade launcher posts on Instagram. Mike Riley's decided
to come and he's getting sick of it. So right he's coming in with
some stuff. He's got a piece already and then you have a 37
and he just says
this is a multimedia post modern experience I'm witnessing right
here competitions in real real time. This is fantastic. Real
guys are insane. Oh wow. I love that. All right. And so
it's it's it's out of control.
That well that but that is what is makes this show so
phenomenal.
Yeah, it's out of control. The shows how to control it begin
with is true. And but added control is postmodern and that's
what we do. And here we go. Let's take a few people for show
1126 Starting with our buddies are anonymous of Dogpatch $953.

that's interesting, because that was something that I recall us
talking about is it? It was odd because instead of the typical
three name, this is the guy you know, first middle and last
name. That was a he identifies as Brendon Tarrant on social
media, which was very odd. And I guess in this case, when when it
was a Muslim mosque in Christ Church, that's when they decided
that goes too far. We've got to obfuscate obfuscate the name.
Yeah, it's great observations. Rodimus.
Anyway, he says, As a colleague named Osama told me in 2002 Boy,
would not Osama bin Laden had fright. You know, I understand
unusual,
I understand, but I bet in 2002, it wasn't a great name to have.
He says,
quote, I might as well be named Adolf Hitler in 1946. Everyone
thinks I'm a damn terrorist. So I'm going by the name Sam. Oh,
gosh. So he changed his name to named as Sam and you know, Sam,
but it was only six years later, when we had a president named
Barack Hussein Obama. And everyone be funny, and everyone
thought it was cool.
Thank you for noting that. But of course, that makes some sense
because Obama was Muslim. Thank you for noting that Muslims do
and have been outspoken against terrorism. Yes, we mentioned
this, but m five M seems to discriminate against all
religious groups, since they all teach morality against violence,
killing and war is what he says here and this structure is very
poorly done. He should note it note.
And we will review all of your all of your letters,
religious groups, are discriminated against because
religious groups teach morality against violence, killing in
war, and the M five M and I was mentioned, I should stop here
and mention something I read recently, I didn't even think
much about it. Just somebody said that the mainstream media
and it began with Hertz, Hertz, purse, and Pulitzer. Who used to
promote the Spanish American War. War sells newspapers.
Oh, yeah. This Yes.
So the media and the war in media go together hand in hand.
So they love war. And so they promote war, even though you
wouldn't think so you know, but they don't promote peace.
What a waste of space.
He says, so he's making this point that religious groups
whether it's Christian or Muslim, or whatever they tend to
they tend to be against violence, killing a war,
billions of people around the world attend religious services
every day praying for an end to all this crap. It just doesn't
attract viewers. Only prayer vigils after the fact get
attention.
Yes. And when when we send thoughts and prayers
query regarding California net neutrality that's the end of his
little spiel query regarding California net neutrality, since
it is a regulation and creates common carrier status for social
media. isn't all information posted protected by free speech
including hate speech? Doesn't this absolve the social media
platforms of liabilities? Perhaps a producer can
elaborate?
Well, this is section 230 stuff that the media the well internet
media have complete a free ticket free ride I don't have to
worry about it.
So title two takes over. title to the FCC takes over the
internet. Thanks to net neutrality Thank you very much.

rec.org/and. We break it all down for you twice a week always
on Thursdays go out there and let everyone know formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth.
I've been watching a number of reports and immediately smelled
a rat. And I think I think I pretty much know what's going
on. This is you've probably heard or seen this story.
Doctors are now dealing with the second greatest number of
measles cases reported since the infectious disease was
officially eliminated nearly two decades ago. According to the
CDC, 387 individual cases have been confirmed and 15 states
from January to March 28 of this year. The CDC says one dose of
the MMR vaccine is 93% effective at preventing measles, two doses
about 97% effective.
So there's a lot to talk about here. First of all, a large
number I think it's over 100 of the 387 was in one community and
Orthodox Jewish community. And so it's not all that crazy to
think something like that could break out in that kind of
community. But the incessant reports the over the top we're
all going to die. And then for something which seems well not
100% effective have kind of pushing the second booster there
to get your 99 was at 98 97% 93
is one shot 97 is two shots. So we can eke
out four more percent with another shot. It's so it's not
100% effective. I think that's odd. But upon further And upon
further theory behind vaccinations upon further
investigation, and I can only find this to be true for one
patent of Merck, the MMR vaccines, well, the measles part
specifically went off patent on March 31, which is always a big
deal for these pharmaceuticals because then they no longer have
the monopoly and the market even though many of them now own the
generic companies. There's just going to be a different revenue
model and to me, the way this thing swarmed and we're all
going to die in MMR and oh my god, the Measles, the mumps and
in mass vaccinations we heard on the last show, remember that?
Yeah, hold on. Let me just see what that is. mass vaccination.
Yeah, I want to play that. Yeah. This one.
late Tuesday on an expanding mumps outbreak at Temple
University. I think mass was mumps. But as Dr. Hill said,
we're probably going to see another wave coming because the
numbers have gradually increased over the last month. City Health
Officials say as of this afternoon, there are 105 cases
18 have been confirmed a balance of 87 remain probable based on
symptoms.
You could imagine that social activities that university
students typically do like party going and
anyway so that in that report, they talk about mass
vaccinations. Now note, we have a measles a measles outbreak.
Worst ever since we eradicated the disease, we have a mumps
outbreak. Oh my god, all included in this one vaccine.
Now I am going to deem myself a semi Vaxxer in this in general
I'm a semi Vaxxer and that is because I of course do not want
polio. I didn't get it I got a shot. So you know, I'm all good.
was very different. When I was growing up, I'm still here, I
haven't died. I got the moms I got the measles. And and for
just to even broach this conversation to say, hey, that's
interesting, because this, this vaccination isn't 100%
effective. Now we know that the vaccine companies, this is about
nine or 10 years ago, they said in their own official
presentations at financial conferences, vaccines is going
to be a bonanza for us. This is where the hockey stick curve
kicks in. Mainly because they are completely indemnified if
something goes wrong, if you're hurt by a vaccine, you cannot
sue the company. There is a fund the vaccine, the vaccination
fund, I think it's called something that has millions of
dollars and you can you can possibly get some redress from
that, from that funds. It's from Yeah, it's a government operated
thing. And I think it's just, it's just there to shut people
up who have you know, been severely injured by vaccines.
I'm not afraid of them. I don't see any need for me to inject
myself with anything that's not 100% effective for something
that is 100% deadly. So therefore, I'm a semi Vaxxer.
And let me give you some historical context. When I was
growing up, we had a show called The Brady Bunch. I think we
still laugh about the Brady Bunch. A lot of people still
know about it. You might have seen
a rerun Tintin, Tintin, Tintin, Tintin,
I have for you the episode when the entire Brady family got the
measles and died. Peter, what are you doing all from school?
They sent me home
measles, they'll see their measles or a strange case of red
freckles. And I have got a temperature. They told me 101.10
Are you sure it's the measles? Well, he's
certainly got all the symptoms, a slight temperature, a lot of
dots and a great big smile. A great big smile. No school for a
few days. But hello to my daughter and son for me. Tell
him I'll bring him some comic books and I'll see you later.
Okay, honey, bye.
Boy, this is the life and if you have to get sick, she can't beat
the measles. That's right. No medicine
inside or out like shots me Don't even mention shots. Yes.
Measles, measles, measles. Well, all the kids have now had the
measles lighter than years ago. Looks like the Brady's are
finished with the measles.
And that was what it was. You got the measles. Your brothers
and sisters got the measles. You got to stay home. You didn't get
any horrible shots and you lived.
No, that can't be true. You would die if you get the
measles.
We'll compare that Brady Bunch bit to these reports. Where it's
never gonna get to booster shots. Just yet to pick
up an extra two to 2% two points on your immunity and that that
number is sketchy,
totally sketchy. But why isn't 100%? And why are you worried
about your kid if it's vaccinated and someone else's
kid isn't?
But the 100%? Wants You asked a bigger question. If it was
eradicated? Yes. How can it come back? Is it magical?
Yes, it's magical. No one's asking that. This is native
advertising for the pharmaceutical industry for
Stafanie
sure that the mainstream media took it hook line and sinker.
Because of course, the pharmaceutical industry is one
of the main is keeping network television network news.
Especially alive keeping it running. Yes. So they do their
bidding. What else would you like us to talk about Massa,
what else would you like? us to talk about? We'll do whatever
you say. Yes, and people good people. Soak it up. Yeah, put
the New York Times in that bag too. Yeah. They're the worst,
though. Yeah. I saw your tweet about them. Was it? Did you
tweet that they were promoting Netflix native ad? I don't
remember. Maybe it wasn't you.
I'm always pitching in my twit. Twitter feed people should be
follow me. At the real dark. I'm losing people like 20 people a
day because of dues. You're paying other people that keep
you're being D platformed. away for now. You're being D
platformed.
slowly, very slowly. It's
a slow divorce the Chinese the Chinese Twitter torture they
slowly they slowly remove all of your followers a few more
followers from him. And by the time you're down to like 20,000
You'll be so depressed about it. You just might die by yourself.
You won't even need a kick.
Oh, but yeah, I won't even have any funeral.
No one No one to attend your funeral? No.
I just remember he said some about five G
that's what did it. Okay, I want to do some green New Deal stuff.
I got some great clips for us today.
Okay, I got nothing. I'm very pleased with myself. Let's
sounds like
Yeah. Well, first of all the big news if you hadn't heard and,
you know, it is a global problem. And, and we're all
contributing to it. White people more than black people. We know
that the white people pollute more air and black people
breathe more white people polluted air. But now but now.
Now. Now. Now stand back
in Climate Watch. Canada is warming up twice as fast as the
rest of the world. According to a report and the Canadian
environment is at
work. They're warming up twice as fast.
How does that work? Tell me,
I don't know there's a magical border is a border between US
and Canada Navia. And they're heating up faster and
that change department. According to that report since
1948, Canada's average land temperature rose by an estimated
three degrees Fahrenheit does
that does it Wait a minute? Does that screw up the global two
degree warming? Are they ruining our average that pretty big,
pretty big landmass? If Canada is ruining our average, we they
need to be dealt with?
Well, if you polluters, Canada I'd be happy. This is probably
why we sense that this could account for the development of
the Okanagan Valley's wine industry. Hold
on. Let me finish the clip right
now this temperature rise has been accompanied by more
rainfall in areas where snow has historically been more common
findings come as the government imposed carbon taxes on full
provinces after they failed to come up with plans to act on
climate change. Yeah,
there's nothing like implementing a carbon tax and
then at same time, say and by the way, it's good. We're doing
this because we're warming up twice as fast as everybody else.
You're a bunch of hotties they're up north you hot hot hot
Canadians. Beautiful.
I have a bowl of crap,
of course. Well, the people of Canada Navy are getting
snookered. They have the carbon tax went in and they didn't
start April 1
When they like did that crazy Justin Trudeau they're trying to
rally
the New York Times shamelessly shamelessly put up a video I
hadn't seen I guess it was a week or two ago just before the
the the kid striking. And so you know, I I find all of this to be
child abuse. I think John you agree that when you take these
children shove them in front of an audience and make them read a
script, it's you know, and the script is we're dying the earth
is going to die. We're all dead you adults did nothing. It's
this is not a positive message for children. Certainly not if
they're nine years old, but they've taken this nine year
old. forget his name Korea, I think it is that he wrote a book
a children's book, which of course is not true is the
climate youth for action who wrote the book and put his name
on it and Here he is reading from his book, extra music added
by the New York Times.
Goodbye earth by me, Zane Cowie,
okay it's goodbye earth by me zine Cowie that says
the world is big and I am small one day I wish seeing all
Pacific islands Northern Lights Himalayas desert nights. The
world is big and I'm small. The Earth's in trouble here or call.
One degree warmer is our demise. We're on track for March arise.
Goodbye New York and Miami, both cities swallowed by the sea.
Whose fault is all this climate mess? You grown ups must
confess. While seas burned and temperatures soared you upped
and left the Paris accord. You chose big cars fast food and
coal, fossil fuels my future stole you think this is a fun
rhyme book with your inaction the earth woke up. We've had
enough of them devours your plastic bags or farting cows. On
a hot February day. You barbecued and went to play. But
it's no time for celebration. You totally screwed my
generation. With storms and droughts and mass migration,
still just stuck in conversation. The kids can't
vote, we don't pay tax or donate to your super PACs. The only
thing that we can do is stand and say shame. Shame on you.
We've set our bid. Now you get cracking no more pipelines, no
more fracking. Maybe kids but we are past. We're fighting now
just to exist. If we don't protect all it's worth, prepare
to say, Goodbye Earth.
I think this is so shameful. Wow. And this is really a
borderline clip is a date for that. Oh, thank you. I never
heard this.
And well, and this is also it's a book so it's in perpetuity
say what I said borderline book of the day.
Yeah, I just this is such a negative for these children who
are still emotionally growing, they have this half of their
emotional life still needs to be put together. And then another
20 years in therapy be kept out of the fray. This is really this
is really it's adults abusing children. It's known
as Generation X. Generation excellent and older millennials
that were behind this was mostly Generation X. So their dicks
there. Dave Dave decided that the baby boomers, which is cuse
me, are just not doing what they want. And it's become an issue.
And so they've decided to exploit the children to do it,
which is something that baby boys would never do. We I don't
think you can find examples of it. It's unbelievable
that find the for those millennials and Generation X who
do have children, they then start to abuse them.
Ah, that is child abuse. And the ASIC for it really is, is just
you're not well, you know, I could be cultural. They mean
you. It's been taken away from parents, or and so you can't
spank or hit a kid. Because it's just not doing. Maybe there's a
deep seated urge to do that. Oh, your version of it.
Oh, okay. Maybe.
I'm just I'm just
we just we talked about on a previous episode how the green
New Deal, but really anything that that promotes wind and
solar is just helping the big oil companies in particular
those that do gas. And the reason why is now evident in
Germany who did away with their, their nuclear facilities. And I
said, Let's crank up the wind and the solar men. Of course,
they by the
way, let's ask the question, why did they get rid of the nuclear
facilities? Was it because they were blowing up left and right
melting down? Were they having a problem? I'm glad
you asked that. I'll come to that in just a moment I have an
answer for you. So they decide to go wind and solar. And of
course, this means that their grid is overloaded at times they
they basically have to pay other countries to take their
energies, otherwise, the grid could overload. And then when
there's not enough wind or sunshine or light at night
example, then the gas plants kick in. And the gas plants make
up the difference. And the gas plants love this to such a
degree because now the overall cost of energy in Germany has
gone up by 51%. And a lot of this is because of gas because
gas is being used in these companies. If you don't believe
me, they are not only unashamed of it. They are promoting what
they do. And I saw this on a commercial I had to go back and
clip it. This is British Petroleum television commercial
for fall. Learn Indiana. Welcome to Fowler, Indiana. One of the
windiest places in America
at home to three BP wind farms. In the off chance the wind ever
stops blowing here. The lights can keep on shining. Thanks to
our natural gas, a smart partner to renewable energy. It's always
ready when needed or not. At BP we see possibilities everywhere
to help the world keep advancing
your smart partner. It's always there when you need it. These
people are so blind. Who believe in this that boy Yes, wind and
solar. It's going to make it look it's working already. Yeah,
with gas these guys British Petroleum they love you do more
green New Deal. AOC we love it. We can't get enough of it. We're
making twice as much money 51% So So where is nuclear in this?
Well, nuclear has actually started to crop up again. Yeah,
Trump has been doing some things and I follow sir rod sir Hot Rod
Adams who was our our no agenda. nuclear expert was a commander
on a nuclear submarine. He hates when I said he was on a nuclear
sub for a long time. knows a lot about it has been involved in
many different nuclear projects. That certainly helped the show
learn a lot about it. So when you have all these things taking
place, and you know people are starting to talk about it and
Bill Gates is out there. Of course, he has hugely invested
in it. And there's these new reactors and reactors eat their
own waste. Yeah. What do you do as Big Oil? What do you do? I
mean, what do you do? Oh, you go to your buddies at Tyler Warner
maybe HBO?
Good we did. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that to them
justice was done. See? a just world this is sane world. There
was nothing saying too much.
Now, of course this does no justice to this trailer because
it's very visual. Very scary. This is Chernobyl 2019 HBO mini
series special event everybody. That's right. Let's scare you
about nuclear Chernobyl. We're all gonna die
I don't know what to tell you.
They're releasing they're releasing all of a sudden they
have a miniseries Yeah.
Live it's been pointed out by everybody because it's like, why
is this now and it's all you're right. It's part of this grand
scheme probably by British Petroleum. Yeah. other oil
companies to to to take the bloom off of any ideas of modern
new nuclear energy. When of course it's unknowable event was
a piece of crap reactor that the Russians threw together that was
not shielded. It had all these issues. It was it was a disaster
waiting to happen. And it happened. And these events are
extremely rare. And it was a military installation. You might
end this those are the two I mean, the thing and five
whatever it was three Yeah, that was a minor event. Come on.
No, it wasn't a it wasn't a minor event for one reason is
that that took place within days of the release of the movie
China Syndrome. Which scared the the you know what out of people?
Yeah, just scared the crap out of people. Yeah, China Syndrome
was one of the movies. Thank you Jane Fonda that put the mechana
say it on the whole thing.
Yes. Ah,
so we've been rejected, published, been brainwashed. But
there's I mean, France has been running on nuclear energy for I
don't know how long that since the 70s. At least, the whole
country is pretty much dependent on that as their energy source
and they everything's working fine. Until this scaremongers
come along. And the thing I'm always told about the French
system, which is a very old, it's kind of an old fashioned
reactor, but their standard the thing in France and converter,
or the RS reactors are all custom made generally by General
Electric or somebody. And they're each reactor is
different to an extreme. The French system had ever they
standardized they strike you do with with a hard disk, it's
standardized and plugs in so you can hedge so the whole country's
got the exact same reactor. So have you working in sight? Is
she known at the reactors there? And you want to go to someplace
else and work at their reactors? It's not like you have to learn
anything. It's the exact same system. We've never adopted that
because people like general law you'd like to sell things for
billions and billions of dollars instead of a few few 100 million
at most, if it was standardized, but we'd never standardized
anything. And that's the problem that that I think the real
problem with nuclear is the is the lack of standards.
Well, 10 and money to go Bill Gates. I'm all I'm all in with
Bill. Yeah, luckily, Bill's got and that's something we would
say a lot. Now, there's a lot of things I don't like about Bill.
Windows being one of them.
Hey, he's gonna do with Windows. No,
no, it's actually not that bad. So yeah, holy moly. Then they're
just gonna keep fighting it, but that's the way to go. By the
way, you know, Chernobyl is only an hour and a half drive from
Kyiv it's not like people are dead there. From this horrible,
horrible thing. There was one other report that caught my eye
slash here and and I perked up and said wait a minute, what is
good it's been going on for about a week. And this is one of
the reports
George Clooney is using his star power to call for a boycott of
nine luxury hotels, including the Beverly Hills Hotel and
hotel Bel Air, longtime playgrounds for the rich and
famous. They're owned by an agency headed by the Sultan of
Brunei. We're starting next week we'll enforce harsh laws,
including death by stoning as punishment for gay sex and
adultery. And a column for deadline Cluny rights. Are we
really going to help pay for these human rights violations?
Are we really going to help fund the murder of innocent citizens?
There were similar boycott calls five years ago when Brunei first
announced it was adopting strict Sharia law. Among those
protesting Jay Leno.
What year is this?
What is this 1814
The nine hotels located across the globe are part of the
Dorchester collection, which says inclusion and diversity
remain core beliefs. We do not tolerate any form of
discrimination. Clooney has been photographed at the hotels
before and writes full disclosure. I've stayed at many
of them a couple of them recently, because I hadn't done
my homework, a cause for which Clooney has no reservations.
So
we follow George Clooney, and we follow him for a number of
different reasons. He's been very quiet since his marriage to
Amal and he's kind of new handler been very Yes, yes,
exactly. Very much in the background. But we know on this
show, and we've known for many, many years, is if you got
something going on, if you need a distraction, what do you do?
Call Clooney you get some?
Distraction.
No agenda thinking hat firmly in place? What is going on with
Brunei? Is this the reason why we have to have this boycott? Do
we need to have all this attention? Do we once again need
to bring in our lesbian, gay or LGBTQ Qi APK brothers and
sisters? Is this really this is genuine or could it be because
the small little country located mainly on the South China Sea to
very important shipping, blame shipping lanes and a joint
venture with China's Jang Ji.
I'm glad you picked this up because I had looked at it and I
knew there was something going on that was because Cluny but I
didn't do it that it didn't follow up on I'm glad you did.
This is the joint venture between the port and the Chinese
Gulf port group. Along with Brunei, Dora Salam asset group
created a joint venture. And as the press release says Brunei is
an important country along the 21st century Maritime Silk Road.
This is our move. Hey, look at where we're Brunei is on the
map. This is so you've got China at the top, you've got Brene at
the bottom, this is where a lot of shipping is done. We can't
have this being a part of the no belt three road strategy from
China.
Right? It's a choke point. So we've just China is trying to
grab all the choke points because they're going they're
going for it.
Exactly. And what how do we how do we do that? Like we always do
bring in some SEC stuff. Yeah, whatever. Let's shame these guys
shame him. And of course, nothing will happen. So we're
going to put pressure on his hotels and and instead of just
saying, hey, China's a problem. We don't like what they're doing
over here. We want to you know, maybe we can do something,
whatever it is, be honest. Calling Clooney in for the job.
He might as well send me a telegram. Cluny shows up I start
looking at the news. All right, what is it? Where is it? What's
going on? Let's look past the abuse of our LGBTQ brothers and
sisters because that's what it is.
Well, this is not going to be effective.
Now, but it's a start. It's a start and now it puts into
people it's a long game. You put
it maybe if it's, you know, if it puts if, if there's a
messaging that's that's coming around, saying, you know, you
might be putting you Mr. Sultan of Brunei, who's the guy who
actually built I mean, he's a big shot in the United States.
He's, you know, he's part he's not owner necessary, but he's
behind a lot of major super high end restaurants and attractions
and he owns the Dorchester chain of hotels now. He could put a
you know, a little message might go out there you know, you might
be killed.
Just saying yeah, well listen when George Clooney
rich regime change in you know, ruined I just happen.
I think that certainly in the Middle East, and perhaps in many
other in the Far East, many other places around the globe.
The troublemakers despots, dictators, they all know there's
two people you don't want yelling at you. One is Donald
Trump. The other is George Clooney. They know Oh, crap,
they called him Clooney. Brother. Step up security.
Step up security Clunies up there.
Shameless, these people. This is why you listen to no agenda.
Yeah. And keep you up on this. So people can you can do this
yourself. You just have to look for the little clues. You know,
when Clooney comes out after what two years maybe three?
He hasn't really been under under? Yeah, he's been under
right. They've been keeping him under wraps. I think he I think
he did some missteps and he's he was put on the sidelines, he was
sidelined. Now. He had to he had to
go through training with them all. First. She had to you know,
command and control training.
Maybe could be just your knees. Just
leave just look at how he I mean, he's he's chivalrous, of
course. But I can see it. She's got it under control. MK Ultra.
So we've been witnessing to change the topic again. We've
been witnessing an attack on Joe Biden, kind of what you pointed
out in the last show a couple of a couple shows. And you're
saying to me because I have this contenders list. A handicap list
of who's going to be nominated by this Democrats. Oh,
it was it was a Hillary hit job or was a hit job smelled like
Hillary, like Hillary and CNN is in your CNN is in on it.
And well, they were big Hillary, Hillary team, Team Hillary, hag,
but I've kept Biden at the top because I think he can still get
out of this. And although I did have a very funny the picture I
put in the last newsletter of Biden, that little redhead girl.
Yeah, which I've never seen before. It's probably the
creepiest picture I've ever put in a newsletter. Yeah. And I
feel sorry for people that took themselves off the mailing list,
because I'm not gonna I'm not tweeting that picture. Anyway,
so. So Biden decides that he's going to use Twitter now. He
thinks he's Donald Trump. And he's going to use Twitter and
accountability. So he thinks just kind of Donald Trump is
Scott Adams. He's going to do videos. Yes. It does video mean
like
more like more like AOC you mean as and more like? Who's that
other hipster Pocahontas? Yeah, let me get a beer. Elizabeth
Warren.
Yeah, Pocahontas. So she shouldn't be drinking if she's
Indian. Anyway, so we have this here's Biden apologized. He's a
two minute clip, as this is the entire clip of him on his own
Twitter feed, kind of apologizing for grabbing women
and touching them on you know, pulling a John Lasseter, let's
say, and if you look at the comments after these after this,
there's a lot of people Oh, good for Joe. He's back in the game
with this make sense. And there's other people are saying
he's a creep. But most of you know the Democrats aren't
thinking that. So I think he's gonna I still think he's going
to weasel his way out of this. But let's listen to what he had
to say.
Expect to be talking about a whole lot of issues and I'll
always be direct with you. But today I want to talk about
gestures of support and encouragement that I've made to
women and some men and made them uncomfortable. And I've always
tried to be in my career. I've always tried to make a human
connection. That's my responsibility. I think I shake
hands. I hug people i i grab men and women by the shoulders and
say you can do this. And women are women, men young. Oh, it's
the way I've always been this way. I've tried to show I care
about them and I'm listening. Now over the years knowing what
I've been through the things that I've faced, I found that so
CORS if not hundreds of people have come up to me and reached
out for solace and comfort, something, something, anything
that may help them get through the tragedy they're going
through, right. And, and so it's just just who I am. And I've
never thought of politics as cold and antiseptic. I've always
thought about connecting with people. And I said, shaking
hands, hands on the shoulder, a hug, encouragement, and now and
now, it's all about taking selfies together, you know,
social warms began to change, they've shifted, and the
boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset,
and I get it, I get it. I hear what they're saying. I
understand it. And I'll be much more mindful. That's my
responsibility, my responsibility, and I'll meet
it. But I always believe governing, quite frankly, life
for that matter. It's about connecting about connecting with
people. That won't change. But I will be more mindful and
respectful of people's personal space. And that's a good thing.
That's a good thing. I've worked my whole life to empower women.
I've worked my whole life to rent abuse I've written so the
idea that I can adjust to the fact that personal space is
important, more important than it's ever been, is just not
thinkable. I will
as a quick call back, this is another excellent example of
unequal treatment under the quote law. The me to law in this
case, this irks a lot of people to say why isn't why isn't he
getting raked over the coals? Why does he get a pass?
There's plenty of evidence.
And I will say this about Joe Biden. He's been in politics a
long time. Politics is just show business for Ugly people. And
he's no no better or worse than your than your crooner, you
know, guy Hey, baby. Yeah. Hey, sweetheart, Hayes toots.
Because, you know, because he's a super, super duper celebrity,
certainly in in his world. And that is his vibe. And people
understand it. And yeah, they accept it. And I guess they kind
of overlooked it. And now hopefully, some people see the
hypocrisy of how they've, they've treated others. But
there is something else going on in his particular case, in or in
the case of Lucy Flores, who first came out with this clearly
politically motivated, announcement. And in and I have
two clips a quick use for because she was on every station
had some soundbite interview, but I got the NPR stuff. When
people are a little different. They go more in depth a little
more relaxed. At least she was. There was a real power situation
here. I mean, this was an event where Flores was running for
election, Biden is you know, the copy to toothy copy almost of
the party. He came up from behind, you know, there's a lot
of things really wrong with this. And let's listen to what
she had to say. And I think we can start to understand where
this is headed. Miss Flores, can
you describe the encounter in your own words? Sure. Well, I
mean, it's just as I just sure,
there we go. Sure. Sure. Sure. I can explain it. Miss Flores. Can
you describe the encounter in your own words? Sure. Sure.
Well, I
mean, it's just as I described, it happened very suddenly, I was
not expecting it. It was a campaign rally setting. So there
was a lot of chaos, a lot of people a lot of energy. We were
all kind of in public. Vice President Biden and I were never
alone together. So as we were waiting to be
noticed, she points that out, which she's never done
previously. But it's I think it's important so that she This
is someone who's covering her legally, I think someone gave
her advice and say, you should say we were never alone. So it
doesn't sound like you know, like you're accusing him of
doing something really, really, really, really super creepy
where no one was watching. So she's being prompted about this.
I'm like,
Vice President Biden and I were never alone together. So as we
were waiting to be called up to the stage, the rally had already
started. People were already speaking, we were waiting in
line. Eva Longoria was in front of me and Joe Biden was behind
me. And you know, I just all of a sudden feel his hands and and
I feel him get up really close to me. And I'm just, you know,
at that point processing and I'm thinking, Okay, this is really
weird. But then he leans in, and then he like, inhales in and
then he proceeds to plant this long kiss on the top of my head
and the entire time I'm just kind of like what is happening
in in our household, we now call that an Uncle Joe. Do an Uncle
Joe on you, baby. So what what is she really after here? What
is this about?
As we mentioned, former Vice President Biden has released a
statement and says, if he did behave this way, he doesn't
believe he acted inappropriately. What is your
response? Honestly, his statement,
I need the Vice President and all men and all people who are
in positions of power,
okay? Just it's, it's just hold on a second all men, okay? And
people in positions of power but all men, that's you and I John,
she's talking directly to us speaking truth to power,
I need the Vice President and all men podcasts are oh
my god, she's speaking truth to podcasters time to pay
attention,
the Vice President and all men and all people who are in
positions of power to understand that in that setting in that
situation, that kind of behavior is absolutely inappropriate. A
big part of the reason why I'm also speaking out now is because
he has a history of this. This is not an unknown issue. There
have been stories, there are pictures, there are videos, I
think that there is a very severe disconnect, and lack of
empathy for what the women on the receiving end are feeling. I
understand that he's trying to clear up his his intention. But
it's not about your intention, whether it was an innocent
gesture, whether it was a sexual gesture, none of that matters,
it is about the person on the receiving end of that
inappropriate behavior by someone who is very, very
clearly more powerful than you that power dynamic is important
to recognize.
I give her total absolute credit and and I acknowledge what she's
saying about the power structure. That's totally wrong.
But I'm very worried about this. It doesn't matter what you do.
It's how I feel about what you do. This is a problem. There's
no end in sight for this. Now, it's like I put my arm around
you for a selfie. I feel very uncomfortable. You are wrong.
You know, this is going to this is going to move people even
further apart.
Today, really it will. Okay. Yeah,
I think that's the idea. Well, it's okay. It's a disruption.
It's a social disruption.
It's problematic. All right, I'll stick on the 2020 elections
with two more things. I've been tracking this compact of states.
We've heard on one hand lot of talk about getting rid of the
Electoral College, which I don't think we should explain here.
But you can certainly look it up. It's a very simple system.
It is how it is why Trump got elected. And I think was it
bush? Didn't you also get elected through the Electoral
College that first go round? Yeah, first go around. So
there's, there's a back a back door to getting rid of the
Electoral College in an interesting way, which is this
compact of states has been going on for months, a lot of people
have emailed me about it, I understand what it's doing. But
finally I got a clip, someone who at least has authority,
although oh my goodness, the guy's he might as well just be
not even on the scene, Dick Morris, who was very anti
Hillary and anti Clinton at the moment, he used to be one of
their advisors. He has a podcast. And here is a minute
and a half of him explaining what is going on. The
Democrats are pushing something they call the national popular
vote interstate compact, which is an end run around the
electoral college that is closing in on the number of
states that it needs in order to succeed. The idea is that states
pass laws, saying that the electors from those states
should cast votes, not for who won the state, but for the
winner of the national popular vote. And that when enough
states have passed this, so that they constitute 270 or more
electoral votes, and enough for a majority in the electoral
college, the compacts would take effect. And at that point, the
Electoral College becomes irrelevant formality. Because
the mistakes vote in accordance with the popular vote. Now there
have already been 15 states and the District of Columbia that
have passed the national popular vote interstate compact, and
they account among them for 198 of the 270 electoral votes that
they need for this to take effect. And there are enough
state legislatures out there that have not yet ratified it,
where at least one house is Democrat to get them up over the
270 in those states, this One House Republican in one house
Democrat, so we have to hold the line to protect the Electoral
College.
I don't know if this can work But it sure seems like someone's
trying to put it together
was trying to put what together that this stupid idea that
you're gonna just turn your votes over to the state of
California.
Yes. And several and enough states have several states have
already passed laws that this would take place.
Yeah, I would definitely vote those people out of office. I
want my vote. One man, one vote. I want my vote to count.
Oh, yeah. That's not how it's gonna happen, though. I mean,
did you think this this can work?
Well, these Jayegi said 15 states have already stupidly
adopted this crazy policy.
Yeah. And I did but that's kind of circumventing the
Constitution.
Or is it?
I don't think so. I think it's legit. I mean, I think you can
do it legally. I don't think it's illegal or interesting.
unconstitutional. Do it is just dumb.
Right up there with AOC. No, no, no, this is dumb. This is my
last one. This is dumb. Andrew Yang, who I think is a big
phony.
Oh, this is the we ego. Let's stop here. We have a number of
Zoomers, Generation Z folks that listen to the show. Yeah. And
they're all in on this guy. And we have one guy that harasses us
about it. Yeah, you're not talking about Andrew Yang Ying
Ying Yang. Right. We have talked about him. He's a brother VN.
And
oh, boy. Well, his name is Andrew Yang. Yang. And he hadn't
yet I don't know he's just it's sketchy looks like he's he was
did some scammy stuff to make it look like he had enough votes,
no support to get in, or money.
Day as Deus when they do the debates in June.
Now like every good Democrat, if you even want to be considered
for any kind of position. If you want to run for president, you
have to go and visit Al Sharpton. And you have to visit
him at MSNBC. But you also have to go and do his speech for his
action as the action now Action Network. You got to go and speak
at his little shindig. It's very, very important. And he did
with a personal introduction by Reverend Al himself.
He is running Democratic primary for president. He's an
entrepreneur founder of Venture for America. And one of the
first to say yes let me come and speak to the National Action
Network and we want to hear from him Mr. Andrew Lane give him a
hand did you hear
planned goes up and pushes Sharpton aside and just goes
into Spiel doesn't even correct him. Andrew Lang
guys a piece of work.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fine.

Thank

since the birthday is tomorrow, we can still take more birthday
commentary and donations on Sunday and I will put that in
the newsletter if you want if you want if you missed out, you
can do it still do it.
We really appreciate this kind of support. This is what keeps
the show going. We have no advertisers. We take no money
from any commercial interest nowhere no how no way anyway,
we're a network of producers that is you you're not just
listeners, you help produce the show. And many of you do that
financially wishes the only way it can work to keep us gainfully
employed while doing this, which is a full time job. Now we could
do differently. I prefer this method a lot more. It's a lot
more exciting. I got to someone gave me the rate card for Ben
Shapiro's podcast.
But not for his radio show his podcast for his radio show. By
the way, I believe it'd be cheaper
his podcast. Okay. Claims 850,000 Plus downloads per
episode.
Claims can't prove it.
Here's the little blurb tired of the lies tired of the spin? Are
you ready to hear the hard hitting truth and comprehensive
conservative principled fashioned fashion? The Ben
Shapiro show brings you all the news you need to know. So he has
four categories live read ad intro, live read ad first
segment, second segment and a live read midway. 60 seconds.
Okay. They're all live reads 60 seconds. How much do you think
it is?
Well, at $850,000, I would say conservatively be at least
$10 1000 or be $850 for 60 seconds.
$25,500 for 60 seconds.
So I'm calculating the value of these things, which is around
$10 per 1000. CPM, which is an advertising rate that's well
known, which would come to $850. But he came up with what
25,500.
So he's thinking I'm just doing this off the top of my head, but
he's running at about a $75 1000. I'm guessing something
like that. $75,075 1000 CPM is extremely high for radio, and
it's even
podcast. It's a podcast podcast. Interesting, isn't it? Well,
first
of all,
congratulations, Ben Shapiro is what I'm saying. Good.
Congratulations, if you can take it. I couldn't do it. I can't do
this. I can't read. I mean, you can't do it anymore. I can't do
it with a straight face. I can't sell it to myself.
He can barely do it with a straight face.
Man, they sell everything on that they sell their email list.
Do they? Yeah, yeah. Tell you what it is.
They have an email list. Yep. Well, I know the prices of that
to where they want for how many people are on it? And what do
they want for it
for 100,000 subscribers? $15,000 per send? Do they do segments?
Doesn't say? Probably not.
Because what you'd want to do if you knew what you were doing,
which I assume anyone doing email would do? The word know is
you do a test. Right testified 10,000 people you know, send out
you just go nuts and send 400,000 Mail.
But hold on, you can also do an endorsement on their
Conservative News list, which has 240,000 subscribers. And
that's only seven and a half 1,000% too high.
These numbers are too high.
I'm not saying that's what they get for it. But that's what's in
the media kit. Interesting, though.
Well, they want David they're think very highly of themselves.
All those numbers are outrageous. This is true.
These numbers are outrageous. He's true. Congratulations, Ben,
if that's what you're doing. I prefer to work with our network
of producers much more exciting, much more personal, and they
produce the show. This is the best part about it. There's
never an argument. If there's an argument, eventually we'll go
away. That's how simple it is. But we won't because we'll be
back on Sunday. Please remember us and support the work at VO
rec.org/and. A special house selling karma that was due for
Neil carpenter. You've got karma and for those who needed
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Have
we do have a list for today and the fourth of April 2019. Chris
circus the drunkard minstrel and Felix say happy birthday to
Kylie the keeper she's turning 52 Jack genauso celebrates today
Tony my bomb turns 40 today. Then we have Sir Paul Knight of
the good guys who'd be celebrating his birthday
tomorrow. John Leclerc will celebrate his birthday on April
10. And we have a birthday mate good sir Mack and Dame Lauren
say Happy 30th birthday to Heidi. And happy birthday to Sir

Airport delays across the country this morning after a
technical glitch address. The glitch had several major
airlines the issue fixed but the effects still being felt out
there. What are we learning now?
Well, what we're learning is it was a Microsoft Silverlight
upgrade. Can you believe that?
I don't know any of that.
Yeah, that was the company that provides the weight and balance
for for aircraft companies. They had to some I think it was it
was an automatic upgrade. I don't know, like Windows
updated. And all of a sudden, their dotnet configuration
didn't work with the new version of Silverlight. I don't know why
I don't know exactly how they're using it in this case. But all
these these wasn't five or six different airlines. They use
this one company it was really only down for 40 minutes. But
that was enough to cascade everything into a very painful
experience from any glitches, which is called a glitch in the
news here will actually explain what happened so you have some
information. Now the main stream is a glitch.
They could have said that,
please. The glitch. I
got a great backgrounder from this Council on Foreign
Relations panel. With a woman Amanda Sloat. She works also for
the Brookings Institute. And I'm going to call her the Brexit
Bert from now on, and she is I mean it's it's more than two
minutes but she explains exactly where we're at and I know you
probably have an update on Brexit from Democracy Now what
do you have?
I have an update is I was thinking of combining putting my
upgrade. I don't think it's a very short piece. Okay, and I'm
thinking of doing a clip Blitz, which is something we haven't
done for a while. As we start to wrap the show, well, can I play
the broccoli first just play this I don't think it's gonna
make a difference.
The British parliamentary speaker John Bercow, has ruled
that Theresa May could not bring this forward for a third
meaningful vote if nothing substantive had changed from
before. So what she attempted to do last week was to split the
Brexit agreement into its two component parts and have just a
vote on the withdrawal agreement, which would have
gotten the UK the automatic extension to May 22. She did
that and it failed. So Parliament now has decided to do
a series of indicative votes to try and narrow down the options
and to see if it's possible to find any sort of majority in
parliament for anything. They held one series of indicative
votes earlier, which was defeated and then they just held
a second series of indicative votes, which also defeated. So
as of now there is still no majority in parliament for any
way forward. Interestingly, if you look at the Indicative
votes, a couple things are clear. One is parliament does
not support the UK leaving with no deal. But thus far parliament
has not been prepared to actually legislate against no
deal. This could change this week on Thursday. It looks like
there was legislation being introduced this afternoon, that
would force Theresa May to request a long extension next
week, if it looks like the UK is otherwise going to crash out.
Second, there has been the closest number of votes in terms
of looking at a customs union. That option was only defeated by
three votes when this last round of indicative votes happened. So
there yesterday, I guess it was so that that is the one that has
the greatest amount of support. But that would see the the loss
of the UK is ability to negotiate free trade agreements
to the extent that it wants which was of course, part of the
impetus for Brexit in the first place. The one that has gotten
the largest number of votes, but still has been defeated is the
prospect of having a second referendum. So what I think we
are likely to see now in the next couple of days is a vote in
parliament on Thursday on whether to rule out no deal, at
least in the form of requesting a long extension. I think on
Monday, we will probably see another series of indicative
votes. And it is possible that the Prime Minister will bring
her deal back for a third meaningful attempt assuming the
the speaker allows it. And then we'll have this European summit
next Wednesday. So really, I think at this stage, the only
three options are crashing out with no deal on the 12 Ratifying
some sort of deal and then likely getting a technical
extension up until May 22. To be able to implement or third and
my own sense most likely, is a request for a long extension.
Although the UK will still need to be able to answer the
question of what it will use that time to do either hold a
new general election, hold a second referendum or continue to
fight for for the foreseeable future about what they want this
Brexit to look like.
Well, I think we're taking option B.
Well, she's got a good she says work ahead she's got a job ahead
of her working for strat for with this sort of droning
analysis. Well, I guess subscribe to that, you know for
the show. Yeah, yeah. You see how many clips you get out of
nun? Here's the Brexit summer she's behind the times things
are already they already did a third vote and it's under the
fourth vote. And here's where we are. Now. This is play the
Brexit summary Democracy Now. In Britain
Prime Minister Theresa May said Tuesday she'll ask European
leaders for an additional Brexit extension after lawmakers failed
to agree on either Mays original deal negotiated with the EU or a
series of alternative exit strategies. May said she would
enter into discussions with Labour opposition leader Jeremy
Corbyn to come up with a new joint proposal. Britain is
currently scheduled to leave the European Union at the end of
next week.
Jeremy Corbyn Corbyn better stay away from that
is actually a pro Brexit
Yeah, but she's trying to smear this on him. Bring him into it.
He may be I don't know, this is a joke, but they're gonna extend
it again. And we're gonna follow it as best we can.
Still, we can do another referendum. A
lot of sorry, like a lot of wheels spinning
until it's time for another referendum. We just keep on
pushing.
Well, it keeps getting mentioned doesn't it
does. Oh, yes. I have a follow up for you about Lyft and their
IPO. We have a lot of people who drive or use to drive for these
types of companies. Yeah. Adam episode 1125 have an update on
Lyft. I live in San Francisco in the Richmond District. I talk
with every Lyft driver I ride with I enjoy learning about
their hometowns, life before lift, recommendation, etc. A lot
of drivers were paid a bonus from Lyft. To move to San
Francisco. This happened in mid to late 2018, as Lyft had a
shortage of drivers in San Francisco last month. Lyft cut
pay for drivers in the Bay Area on average from 98 cents to 55
cents a mile in preparation for the IPO. Over a dozen drivers
have confirmed this ridiculous pay cut as Lyft makes a
desperate attempt to look profitable on paper. And the
emails about this just goes on and on. So damn alert, massive
scam alert.
I am alert. I wanted to tell you investors out there scam alert.
One guy we have a we play silly game on DHL implosion I put lift
as a short. I talked about the the election in Chicago. Yes,
elected a black lesbian, as mayor of Chicago kind of
representing the lesbian and blacks in the city.
Can I just say so can I just say something? I have heard every
person in Chicago on the news. Say, we erect we elected a
lesbian. Like, why does that matter?
Well, she's the one who been She promoted it? Well, I
think that's bullshit.
Well, it might be bullshit, but that's how she got elected. Now
she ran against another woman I gave a mayor culpa. I put a
picture of the opponent in the newsletter and not the picture
of this woman who one day look the same.
That's the most racist thing you've said in a fucking year.
No, they look the same. They're middle aged, black women of a
certain age and they get the same haircut. One's a little
grayer than the other. And from a distance, which is is a
distance shot. She's walking a dog. They look the same and so I
screwed up. Okay, so and I apologize for that huge blunder.
There are so many interesting ties with this woman. She's she
you know who she mentored Kim Fossey Kim Fox. Oh, and this
Jussie Smollett thing has so many weird ties to it. Other
noddy's tied into this all kinds of nuts stuff going on. And now
the new mayor is tied into it. By the way, she's no
lightweight. This is a serious kick ass person. Oh, yeah. This
woman she is I agree. She runs the Police Board. I mean, you
gotta be this is a new sheriff in town. I'm very curious to see
what she's doing. Tina is from Chicago. She's like, I hope she
cleans this shit up in Chicago. Well, looking at her policies
doubtful. She's extremely.
I think she's gonna make a big, make a big splash of some
cleaning things up and you keep talking about Trump does this.
Yeah. You keep talking about it, hoping that it actually
something happens. I'm not convinced that she's going to
clean anything up, but she's definitely a kick ass person.
Melissa's in the report that I have. So we at least know
something. This I believe is from Divock. Democracy Now since
Chicago election.
In Chicago voters made history Tuesday night by electing the
city's first African American woman as mayor. She'll also be
the city's first openly gay mayor Lori Lightfoot won a
landslide victory beating her opponent Toni Preckwinkle and a
runoff vote 47
Light Lightfoot vs Preckwinkle isn't that great names are they
put in promoting? They're in Chicago. Lightfoot prep Winkle.
Anyway made the mistake of thinking prep legal was
Lightfoot
percentage points. Lightfoot is a newcomer to electoral
politics. She previously worked as a federal prosecutor and
2015. Now outgoing Mayor Rahm Emanuel appointed her to head
the Chicago Police Board. She was also chair of the police
accountability Task Force in 2016, which issued a damning
report after the police killing of African American teenager
Laquan McDonald, part of her mayoral campaign focused on
ousting Chicago's political machine. This is Lightfoot
addressing her supporters in her victory speech.
Together, we can and will finally put the interests of our
people, all of our people ahead of the interests of a powerful
few. Together, we can and will make Chicago a place where your
zip code doesn't determine your destiny.
The cadence of one and I pointed this out before I haven't had
Deb unfortunately put a package together to exemplify it. But
she has that Obama female sure staffer cadence that was you
know that Susan Rice had and all these different women that
worked in the White House under the Obama administration. It is
a specific cadence and she's Got it she's an Obama eight
well the number one thing I feel she should do and and Chicago's
not my city but she probably work on some of the gun crime.
People kill
him. There there's Chicago is the strictest gun laws in the
country. I
didn't say do it with gun laws, you got to do something because
there's people killing each other. The guns not the people
are killing each other. That's what she needs to focus on.
Well, I don't know. Well, I don't think she's gonna get
anything. I looked at her dad Obama's style. She is part of
that. Whatever the Obama thing is, she is an element of it. Oh,
yeah. Well, her her values are all progressive her agenda is
more money for education, which I'm not against it but home man.
There's a lot a lot has happened in Chicago with charter schools
kicking out public schools. Does that mean more charter schools,
more pipelines to Cisco who were right there, they've got this
what I'm not totally against, by the way. But just just so we
know what we're talking about, don't think about public school.
More gun laws, whatever more you can do in in Chicago. And while
she has an LGBTQ agenda, we'll see prosperity for all but I
think you got to tackle what's why are people killing each
other? Let's start with that. Easy for me to say here in
Austin. Yeah,
it is easy for you to say it's easy for anybody to say it's
another agenda All right, here we go. We're gonna do a clip
blitz a bunch of quick clips at the to catch us to catch us up
with what really is important. Algeria update.
And Algeria President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, resigned with
immediate effect Tuesday, one day after he announced he would
resign by the end of his current term at the end of April and
shortly after military leaders called for an immediate
declaration that he was no longer fit to serve. He's rarely
been seen in public since suffering a stroke in 2013.
Algerians had been organizing mass protests for weeks
demanding he stepped down as well as an overhaul to the
current current political system
due to the Ebola update
in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the UN's warning the
ongoing Ebola outbreak is spreading at fastest rate since
it was first detected with over 1000 cases identified an
estimated death toll of 680 people. It's now the second
deadliest Ebola outbreak in history. medical workers say
their efforts to stem the spread of the disease have been
hampered by fighting between government forces and rebels, as
well as widespread public mistrust that has led to attacks
on treatment centers. This is World Health Organization
spokesperson, Christian Lindenmayer.
It's a mix of reasons why we think these cases have increased
taxes is one of them. And of course, the trust in the people
is of high importance. Community outreach. It's so important to
make sure that everybody knows how to seek help.
Maduro update from it. cracy now, Venezuela the progressive
perspectives in Venezuela
the government of President Nicolas Maduro has stripped
opposition leader self proclaimed President Juan guaido
of parliamentary immunity. As Venezuela's leadership crisis
deepens, the measure would allow for authorities to arrest and
try guaido. He's vowed to keep fighting Maduro is leadership
calling the move cowardly. Why doe previously defied a travel
ban imposed by the Maduro government touring several Latin
American countries to garner support for his efforts to oust
Maduro and take over the presidency.
Let me let me slip one in here. Through the border crisis.
Avocados
tonight have a deep impact on the border the ripple effect for
American families and businesses if President Trump follows
through on his threat to shut down ports of entry with Mexico
from beer and wine to fruits and vegetables.
The estimates are that if the border closes, we run out of
avocados here in the US within three weeks
due to a Trump and dad's birthplace.
At an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg on Tuesday, President Trump falsely claimed
once again that his father was born in Germany.
Germany honestly is not paying their fair share. I have great
respect for Angela and I have great respect for the country.
My father is German right was German. Born in a very wonderful
place in Germany,
for a Trump was in fact born in the Bronx in New York City. It
was not the first time Trump made the claim he made the
comments as he once again accused Germany and other NATO
members of paying less than their fair share of military
costs.
All right, stop the Blitz. What is good stuff in it? What is
going on with Trump and his dad? What is this?
I still because of this clip, which would really make you
think the mainstream media would go after him on this, but they
don't. Only democracy now does. And I want to thank Amy Goodman
and democracy now for all those clips. But this particular clip,
which they do play a lot, or they try to they hound Trump
about different things. I went and started looking around
trying to find something I wanted to find this particular
clip to, to see if he said something else. Like maybe
because maybe his grandfather was born in Germany, which I
think is likely. And he was talking about his grandfather,
his grandfather all the time, he just made a mistake of saying
his father that could happen. And now he
just, you know, just throws it in a couple more times, just to
make everyone crazy.
I don't believe so. I mean, because it doesn't make anybody
crazy except democracy now. But I have to say that it is a
little much. I agree with you. It's like, what why is he doing
what is going on? Especially if this is the second time he's
done it? Yeah, that's that. That's why I was the first to
say well, you flubbed. So I don't know I now I'm doing a
Trump's dad watch thing to see what the hell's going on with
his dad being born in Germany bullshit. When he was born in
the bra, maybe
his real dad was, hey, you know, to me, Oh, I could have added
this to the clip Blitz, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is on once
again. Now these used to be great back in the day and when I
when I finished my book, you'll be able to read about it. These
were fantastic dinners. They were $1,000 a plate. Usually I
wish I had money back then but usually would be sponsored like
a record company or someone a join us at our table. And it
would be me this is when Phil Spector was still out in public
and, and all the stones were all we're all wearing tuxedos. It
was a big farce. The chicken was horrible. But it was really
raucous. It was not televised.
It was it was budget should get decent chick
Waldorf. Yeah Waldorf Astoria and there's never had a decent
chicken but it was an it was an industry thing. It was yeah,
whatever happened at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
dinner, eat don't talk about it. It was not it was never
televised rarely, I mean, a couple pictures is also pre
selfies, etc. Now of course we also have interesting people
being inducted we've run out of rock and rollers The Cure
through I like a lot of like Robert Smith and like the whole
band. I've known them since 1981. He's He's a really old fat
looking dude with the same haircut. But this whole show is
changed is produced by guys who used to be at MTV, and now it's
a really high up thing. Oh my god. And it's broadcast and it's
just a shit show. And here's Robert Smith arriving. And he's
about to be interviewed. So
nice to meet you. Hi. Congratulations, Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame inductees. 2019 Are you as excited as I am? By the
sounds of it? No.
I love those guys. From the sound of it. No.
I would agree. He's pretty hard. It's hard to be as excited as
she was.
And then my final clip on this was CNN International.
Christiana Amanpour, the elite Christiane Allan Poe, Ma Ma Ma
Ma po our Council on Foreign Relations. She's interviewing
Jim Comey. And then she asks him a question, which he answers
correctly. But it just shows you the thinking of people at the
Council on Foreign Relations, the upper echelons of I mean
Christianna an important issue not considered a top notch
journalist the real journaux is she why I'm asking you is she
not considered a topic
she's considered a television personality more than anything,
but she but
she's someone who understands the world she she talks to world
leaders.
What she does that she does that she talks to world leaders you
got that right.
So she's asking Comey, former FBI director about the lock her
up chants that were prevalent during the Trump rallies on the
campaign. Here's your questions still
show up?
I've got one question because you just said lock her up. Or
lock me up. Of course, lock her up was a feature of the 2016
Trump campaign. Do you in retrospect, wish that people
like yourself the head of the FBI, I mean, the people in
charge of law and order had shut down that language that it was
dangerous potentially that it could have created violence that
kind of hate speech should not have been allowed. That's not a
role for government to play.
Can you believe that question? Wow, they
quit. Yeah, whatever call me says it's not important. That
question. That question is very disturbing,
coming from an elitist journal on television,
on Foreign Relations. That's what she's reflecting that she's
just flexion I some clips I'll bring to the next show, okay, of
Steve Bannon giving a speech in Hokkaido. And he goes on about a
number of different things, including the Chinese and what
they're really up to, and it in, he talks about, she goes at
Davos, when Trump was giving his inauguration, she was at Davos,
and he gave this speech, according to Bannon outlining
the most horrible takeover of the world by China and how
they're going to do it. He says, and they didn't even outline
some of it in the speech, which I'll make a clip of, and people
should look this up. But Steve Bannon, Hokkaido speech, and he
and after the speech, she is telling you about how he's China
is going to take over and how globalism is great and how China
is going to run the whole thing and we're all going to be vassal
states. He says the audience gives him a standing. Oh,
of course. This doesn't surprise us.
Amazing is what we're dealing with people.
All right, well, we'll look forward to those clips. We will
return with you on Sunday. I'm bringing you another episode of
the no agenda podcast show where we speak truth to podcasters.

It's got to be fun.
I felt invaded.
This is vintage Joe Biden if you Google are being creepy Joe

Please don't
let me be misunderstood. Creepy Uncle Joe or creepy Biden. And
with images of him being inappropriate. I don't want Joe
to stop doing that every
