If you will more. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday,
July 11 2019. This is your award winning get by nation media
assassination episode 1154. This
is no agenda,
fueling up the Lolita Express and broadcasting live from the
frontier of Austin, Texas capital of the drone Star State
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're celebrating
International population day and the death of Alexander Hamilton
won down 7.7 billion to go. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Raglan, Buzzkill.
7.17 What billion what people?
Yeah. All right. It's the population of the globe at the
moment. Yes.
So how do we celebrate Alexander Hamilton's death?
He was shot by Aaron Burr in a duel.
And that's to be celebrated?
Well, it depends on what kind of monetarist you are. Yes,
exactly. Before we get into supply side, maybe.
Before we get into everything today, I wanted to bring
people's attention to a brand new series on Showtime, which
represents a lot of what we discuss here in the show. And I
don't know if you've seen this, it is the loudest voice. It is
the story of Fox News and Roger Ailes. And Roger Ailes played by
Russell Crowe.
Yes, who also looks like him in the makeup? Yeah.
So you've seen it? No,
I've seen the trailers.
Oh, my God. John, this is it's basically Oh, you won't
understand what no agenda talks about watch this show. It is
fantastic. Well, I'll give you an example. When we talk about
what's going on in television. You know, we joke about the
control room, we know how that works, how the interruptions
work, how the advertising works, the commercials, what the what
the news readers do, you know, the it's in what they're there
for and what their roles are saying
it isn't an agenda show it insofar as the way we do behind
the scenes,
but yes, the behind this. Well, whenever we deconstruct media,
we know exactly how it works. And I've received several emails
from people who also have seen it and said, Oh, now I get it.
For an example. This is before Fox News goes on there, they're
rehearsing and Roger Ailes has come up with this fantastic idea
for this new news, quote, news station, which have a clip of
Russell Crowe talking about in a moment. And so he's in the
control room. He's watching the set. And again, these are just
rehearsals so they're not live on air yet. Here's a clip.
Alright, let's look at where we are. What's she wearing? What is
the Bulldog rodeo in town or something? Why is she wearing I
liked legs. Anybody else like legs? I liked legs. Don't fuck
is that? Fi there's some sort of Halloween there's orange. It's
orange. Not so difficult.
So this is this is the beginning of the legs on TV
that Roger Ailes brought us. And he was right, because he knew
what the audience wanted. And that's how it all works. And it
doesn't just have to be following him
again. It's always been that way. And the funny thing is
everyone denies it or they go new Lilly Molina, but in fact,
the would I think it's the way they handle it. I mean, I think
women don't mind showing off their legs, but they don't like
to be told to show off their legs. No, of
course not. And that's why Paul is
on quit. Yes.
Oh, I forgot about that. Now. Yeah. Ales, of course, was also
a creep. And you know, he would have girls come in an audition,
and I'll twirl around for a spin around and I didn't pull that
clip. But here's Russell Crowe talking about the brilliance of
Roger Ailes on Colbert,
the seven o'clock bulletin with Shep Smith. He's just the news.
You know, the rest of the time it's opinion, even though it's
called Fox News,
I will grant you that. I mean, I think Shep does a fine job. But
the Brett bear does a fine job. Chris Wallace does a fine job on
the Sundays over on Fox. But I mean, when he was putting it
together, one of the things that sort of shocking the other
people the other characters talking to in the in the first
episode, is his willingness to make it look good, make it sound
good to do make it something that people will turn on,
regardless of what the message necessarily is because some
people have their back up against his willingness to turn
it into entertainment.
Yeah, well, what he said was saying, though, is that, you
know, people don't really want to be informed. They don't want
all of the details. They just want to feel informed. They want
to think at some point in time in their mind that they've got
that covered. You know, so he was playing into that, but also
You got to know that, you know, Roger many, many times over the
years, said if he hadn't have had seen a certain bias in
media, then Fox News could have been the exact opposite because
he was looking for the open area of the market. And it was in his
estimation, that CNN that MSNBC, CNBC, you know, CS ban, ABC,
NBC, CBS, the times the post, everybody had a left leaning
bet. So to him, what was available was a conservative
audience that was being underserved. And that proved to
be very true, because now you have one single news network,
which dominates half of the available audience. Right.
Right. So it's purely a marketing one. Well, he's put
Fox us into an incredible situation hasn't I mean, that is
a money making machine they make $2 billion a year profit. Now,
that's a hell of a thing when you think that new services
began with the understanding that you would often use as part
of your broadcast, but you did it from the perspective of not
needing or requiring a profit.
So now you understand why it works. And why CNN and MSNBC
have lower ratings than Fox because they are fighting for
the same audience. They're fighting amongst themselves
foxes by themselves, just all alone, except for some minor
players and
obvious since pretty much everyone noticed the foxes
dominance. And what surprises me is that nobody else has stepped
up. Maybe just a couple of days from pull it back a little bit.
Yeah, there's a couple of trying one America news, I think is
trying but it's they're trying you said no one's trying.
They're trying like yeah,
no, I mean, no one who with any kind of clout. Hi, Anna.
No problem. I disagree. The problem with one America news is
they're not showing legs all they got is talking heads.
That's when American news is not on
cable. Yes, it is on my cable that you get one American news
on your cable I do. Yeah, well I mean it's also Newsmax and what
are some things he newsy newsy cheese, whatever.
But yeah, if you want ratings, you got to show legs. It's just
how it works. I don't understand why people don't don't get it.
And also there's not be hypocritical CNN tries. They
just don't have good legs. It's Erin Burnett. Love Erin Burnett
or used to. She wanted to kind of overboard really odd. But you
know, talking heads anyway, it's a great show the loudest voice
on Showtime? Something to watch it really is it a series that
that was just a movie. Now it's a series. They've had two
episodes so far. I have no idea how long it's gonna take. It
seems like it would be a seven or eight parter. Just from where
they are in the story.
It depends on why they get big, always slow down the narrative.
go on forever.
Well, that's what you want to do. If you got to hit show what
we'll see. Russell Crowe is fantastic, though. Really good.
Like delighted. What do we have lesbian convention where?
Dyk off in town? Yeah, sorry. It's just how it works. And so
if you think we're a bunch of sexist pricks, we're just being
television executives. That's how we deconstruct business to
an extent. All right. Well, I think we should start with the
Epstein thing, because that's what everybody is interested in.
I don't know why. Because I mean, you mentioned in the
newsletter that I thought the Epstein thing was a distraction
of the week. And I have some doors now you I have clips too.
But yeah, what do you got? Well,
do you have you must have some bags,
the Epstein Report to PBS kind of a rundown, you can run out.
Let's do that.
Let's start. First of all with this Epstein case. His lawyers
are saying that their client believed these girls were over
18 years old. And also he they are saying that this was not
child trafficking, because in their words, there was no
coercion and there was no violence. I want to ask you,
you're also an attorney, legally, what is child
trafficking?
So under the federal law, there is no need to show force fraud
or coercion when it comes to the issue of minors. Under the
federal law. Anyone who recruits patronizes solicits a minor
under the age of 18. For the purposes of a commercial sex act
can be found guilty of trafficking. A commercial sex
act is actually really broadly defined under the federal law.
It encompasses any sex act that's exchanged for anything of
value. So under the facts of this case, as alleged it could
absolutely constitute a federal anti trafficking case. Right?
This is interesting because it tells you that if you You pick
up a streetwalker who's 17 and
you fly her to a different city out
to Florida. You didn't hear that. If you pick up a
streetwalker and pay her for sex, somehow you're a sex
trafficker. Huh? You're the flyer anywhere. You don't have
to even put her in your car and walk off with her.
Oh, you're just traffic. You're trapped. Okay, technically
you're trafficking that makes sense
how you trafficking is a streetwalker is the problem with
prostitution in this country.
It's not on television. That's the problem with prostitution.
Well, there's that. But it sounds like a bunch of bullcrap
if you asked me now let's listen to the I think I have the three
clips sex trafficking clips with Joanna Gao the way that may be a
repetition No, I don't think so. Let's start with these ends.
Here are these are the laws that are applying here i i have some
kind of differing thoughts on Epstein now after hearing the
cost to talk about it in a segment, which I believe was
clipped out of the PBS NewsHour, but played on the radio.
Unfortunately, didn't record it from the radio thing it was
going to be on TV and ever was where he made a lot of
reasonable assumptions. But this to me this whole, this whole
thing is just let's find some other way to disturb and get
Trump. Yes, correct. Correct. I agree. Nothing else. There's no
other reason for but let's just say sex trafficking clips. I got
three of them. This is number one. Well, the
the one we just played was the PBS one. That was sex
trafficking.
This is all PBS was sex treads under sex trafficking, not an
Epstein.
I understand. But I just Oh, I'm sorry. The clip I just played
was sex trafficking one. It wasn't the Epstein Report. I'm
sorry.
Oh, okay. Well, you heard clip one, two, which was the one I
thought that's wonder where it started where it did. Well, we
missed the old
one. I play it then let's play the overview. It's worth I don't
think is it? Well, yeah. Well, you can play the overview and
then we'll get back to this. Yeah, might as
well. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta is facing new demands to
quit his post tonight. Over a plea deal he arranged with
financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2008. Acosta was then a federal
prosecutor in South Florida, and Epstein was accused of molesting
teenage girls. The deal kept Epstein out of federal prison.
But now federal prosecutors in New York have filed new charges.
Today in the US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer joined
other top Democrats condemning Acosta.
I am calling on Secretary Acosta to resign. It is now impossible
for anyone to have confidence in Secretary Acosta's ability to
lead the Department of Labor. If he refuses to resign, President
Trump should fire him.
Acosta himself called Epstein's alleged crimes horrific, and
said he welcomes the new charges. President Trump and a
meeting with the Emir of Qatar promised to review the plea
deal, as he defended Acosta whom he appointed to his cabinet.
He's been a great, really great Secretary of Labor. The rest of
it we'll have to look at we'll have to look at it very
carefully. But you're talking about a long time ago. And
again, it was a decision made, I think, not by him, but by a lot
of people. So we're going to look at it very carefully.
Also, today, Justice Department officials said Attorney General
William bar will stay out of reviewing the 2008 plea
agreement, his former law firm represented Epstein during that
period.
Actually, I have the right to have a clip of him talking about
that. Yeah, here it is.
I'm recused from that matter. Because one of the law, one of
the law firms that represented Epstein, long ago was a firm
that I subsequently joined for a period of time.
Alright, so he's, he's not, he's recused, but I'm sure he's
managing in the background. So I apologize for playing the clip
out of order. So let's get back to sex trafficking, then I have
a couple things we should look at.
Well, let's start over then because only 51 seconds to start
with sex trafficking. Once we get back to the the groove.
Let's start first of all with this Epstein case. His lawyers
are saying that their client believed these girls were over
18 years old. And also he they are saying that this was not
child trafficking because in their words, there was no
coercion and there was no violence. I want to ask you,
you're also an attorney, legally, what is child
trafficking?
So under the federal law, there is no need to show force, fraud
or coercion when it comes to the issue of minors. Under the
federal law. Anyone who recruits patronizes solicits a minor
under the age of 18. For the purposes of a commercial sex act
can be found guilty of trafficking. A commercial sex
act is actually really broadly defined under the federal law.
It encompasses any sex acts that's exchanged for anything of
value. So, under the facts of this case, as alleged it could
absolutely constitute a federal anti trafficking case.
Okay, so now that I heard it, again, doesn't have to be a
minor for it to be trafficking in any case, or does she say at
the end, there doesn't even have to be a minor?
No, for the, for the purposes of the generality she states here,
which is that if you run into a 17 year old hooker, which is
what I'm going to use as the example, and you just solicit
her for sex, that sex trafficking, I believe that if
they're 18 or older, the rules for sex trafficking are
different.
Okay. Gotcha. All right. Well, that's, that's a good rule
to be rather onerous because of the nature of open prostitution
in some certain areas. Or to open another we're
streetwalkers, we're talking about or Vegas, let's say, hey,
let's play sex trafficking to for more clarification.
In this case, we saw a man who his friends even joked about
that he liked young girls. I'm wondering how much of this is in
plain sight, the problem of child trafficking. How much of
this is a cultural kind of ignorance or shrugging off of a
serious problem?
What's unique about this case is the sheer amount of attention
that it's getting. But it's not unique in the dynamics that are
alleged. We know that men who are powerful, who have an
enormous amount of privilege to exploit the vulnerabilities of
young women and girls every day here and throughout the country.
What's interesting about this case is that it's getting an
unbelievable amount of attention. But from our work on
the ground, there are individuals, much like Jeffrey
Epstein, who are extraordinary, wealthy and powerful
businessmen, many of them are actually white men who use that
power and privilege to exploit vulnerable young women and
girls. Oh,
it's just white men. Okay. That makes sense.
Yeah, that's dope. Yeah, by the way, if anyone wants to read
something that may be countered to this, you might want to read
the book, pimp by Iceberg Slim, which we've actually promoted on
this show before. So now all of a sudden, we've taken a twist
here, and we have turned this into a white privilege. Yes,
situation, white guys, and neither but rich, rich and
privileged. So in other words, what and I find that you know
this to be I would think, insulting to the working man.
It's not as though sailors, the working class, the lower class,
they're all sailors are all also not all. John's.
Do I'm just saying, just to say that all these people are
eliminated from the argument because none of these people,
none of the working class, none of the sailors, none of the
lower classes ever get involved with prostitutes. It's always
the rich power. This is bullshit.
Yes, it is. I agree.
But okay, let's keep going in this direction, and wrap it up
with clip three,
catalyze young women, girls who were runaways, girls who had
experienced unstable homes, maybe even girls from the foster
care system. And that is consistent with what we see in
the young women that we work with here locally.
I think people sometimes imagine child sex trafficking happening
in other places to other girls, not girls that they know, how
are these girls being lured in, in these cases, especially so
adults can be aware of the risks,
but one of the most important things to recognize is that in
the United States, the vast majority of sex trafficking
cases actually involve American citizens. From the federal data,
we know that upwards of 80% of all confirmed sex trafficking
cases involve US citizens, and up to 40% of those cases involve
the sale of children. And so it's an incredibly important
American problem, and one that's happening in communities all
throughout the country. I think that one of the things that
we're hoping comes to light and that people are able to connect
the dots between the Epstein case, and child sex trafficking
all across this nation, is that it's often very powerful man
with means taking advantage of the vulnerabilities of some of
the most marginalized young women and girls.
At least they didn't say podcasters jeez,
well, we can't afford it. No, so the point is, is that this is
this is this whole thing is now starting to look pretty, pretty
fishy if you ask me and so far is where they're pointing the
finger at the white man and privilege guy, the rich business
guy, and all the rest of it. And we're not just talking about you
know, sex trafficking is any sort of prostitution. Anything,
it's just it's completely out of control, and nobody brings up
the idea of a black pimp, which is a common Huggie bear A person
that that doesn't exist because and it's only the the, you know,
the privileged, the privileged who get the prostitutes at any
age, apparently, and everybody else is just, they're going to
shaking their head and shaming these these privileged few white
businessmen usually the way they
I find that that whole conversation conversation really
steered away from how horrific it is to do this to underage
girls. They're just talking about prostitution. And then you
know, they just mentioned a name a number, but not about the
actual damage when you're doing this to a 15 or 14 year old mean
that you're right. You are 100% Correct. Everything you saw on
the news in the media about this is distraction. What are they
not talking about? victims? They're not really actually
talking.
They're interested in the victims. They're only interested
in Trump that we guess the media has lost? And why do we have
Schumer coming out demanding he quit? The Labor Department's got
nothing to do with this case? Unless you want to consider
prostitutes, child labor force, okay. Why don't they say that
and then you could get rid of him. When it comes to conflict
of interest
when it comes to elites, in government, in banking, in
royalty, and pedophilia. I have some standing with work I've
done over the past 20 years. But he had a radio station burned
down. When I mentioned that the director of the Attorney General
of the Netherlands at the time, who was who not only admitted as
much, but also there was video graphic evidence and eyewitness
testimony that he was sodomized in young Turkish boys and had
allowed himself to become black mailable, inside the highest
position of the Department of Justice in the Netherlands, I
merely discussed it with Misha cut. He is the journalist who
uncovered it. And yes, immediately one of the most high
powered law firms came down on the station. It didn't literally
burned to the ground, but they lost their license lost their
funding and the station shut down. So I became very
interested in these types of cases.
Yeah. And why not? And of course,
it's fantastic to have a guy like Acosta in the Trump
administration, and to go get Trump. But why are they asking
for Acosta to resign? That's what it is everywhere, even the
view
a problem here. And that's why Acosta has to rehab tourism has
to resign because when you're a prosecutor, your job is not to
seek justice for
you're asking the right question the victims of
a crime to protect the community from their future crimes by
doing giving him that sweetheart deal. He allowed these new
victims to be victimized, but in also the community, but
also to have him in the position he's in now. Now, it's
people like Alan Dershowitz should be on TV right now, while
they're wrong accused, you
know, and well, there's a lot of people not to and there's a lot
of people,
okay, so they are calling for resignations in which makes no
sense. Other than that, you might want this guy out of the
way. Maybe he knows something, maybe what really went down was
a little bit different than it's being portrayed. So all we're
hearing on the news is a cost to Trump Acosta, Trump, Trump Best
Buddies, Best Buddies flew on the plane once.
I'm absolutely I said this before, and I'll say it again
and I wrote in the newsletter and I haven't said specifically
on the show and I am working on another essay that is coming out
shortly that discusses this. They are trying to equate the
creepy behavior of Joe Biden and his kissing little girls on the
lips and hugging them and whispering in their ears and
just being a creep to Trump. So they can do a check this I
believe there's a checklist out there that says whatever Biden
did bet bad Trump did worse. Biden did this Trump's worse.
Biden does this Trump's worse. This is a part of the whole
scheme to get Biden nominated, I believe, and they need to smear
Trump and all his buddies with the guilt by association.
There's series of photos, everybody that just Layne
Maxwell ever had a photo taken with which appears to be half
the men in the Western Hemisphere. Everybody, they all
show these pictures of her with these other people. So they're
obviously all pedophiles, and they're all related to Trump.
And the whole thing is about I believe still is about propping
up Biden,
okay. And I have a different opinion. That is what the news
media is doing. What is actually going on is I think something
completely different and I'd like you to go along into Adams
mind for a moment and just leave it open for Information and
supposition and conspiratorial thinking, let's go back to this
original case. It was a case that was brought by the sheriff,
the sheriff found this out of the whatever Palm Beach County,
whatever it is. Took it to the state attorney, state Attorney
wouldn't touch it. That's when the feds came in. The feds like
holy crap, these guys are gonna let the guy go. So they put a
deal together, then all of a sudden, there's word from higher
hand and this is in the documents that Epstein was
possibly, you know, the he had worked for the FBI, he had done
some stuff with it, please go easy on him to what Acosta
wrote. And he's written a lot about this. He has a lot of
legal opinions. He was very disappointed in how it went
down. But there was literally in a document that says he's been
very helpful to the FBI take that into consideration.
Why? Well, I don't want to interrupt your thinking. But
there's also a moment where somebody told someone that he
was a member of the intelligence community, and we're gonna get
to that you're jumping way ahead to just go along for the ride.
Let's go back to the woman who originally broke the story.
Conchita Sarnoff, she wrote an article for Vanity Fair, in
which the editor had a meeting with Epstein and cut out all the
salacious details of his his sexual abuse. The timing of all
of this is very interesting. It was 2002 when this came to
light, but it wasn't until 2007 2008 very important years
when the case went to trial. And when this non prosecutorial
agreement was put in place here she is explaining what was going
on at the time. And this is
my my biggest question and I don't understand why no one is
pointing fingers at and actually explaining why Barry Kershaw cut
the deal that he cut. The onus fell on the State Attorney's
Office, as you know, after the chief of police, Michael Ritter,
whom I spoke to at length for many, many years since I started
the investigation back in 2009. Ritter said to me many times, I
did not accept crushers deal. He wanted to charge him with a
misdemeanor, no jail time, no restitution, and no registration
as a sex offender. Then he took the case Ritter takes the case
to the Feds least. That's Yes, Michael rid of the Palm Beach
Police Chief takes the case to the feds. That's when Acosta
comes in. That's not until 2006. And so Acosta, and his team with
the Afonya and others, they start to investigate that takes
two years, there's a 53 page indictment against Epstein. But
what happens? Well, we're getting close to the 2008
presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton is the democratic shoo
in at the time, President Obama was still not in the forefront,
at the forefront. And so I believe, given the information
that I have, and what I've read that at the very top of the food
chain, they did not want to make as the Attorney General said to
me, when I interviewed him, Alberto Gonzales, they did not
want to make a political mess. So they basically tapped Acosta
again, which is also why they hired Ken Starr and Jay
Lefkowitz, who were the two lots of high profile names involved
in this salutely. They were the two attorneys who negotiated the
plea deal, meaning the non prosecution agreement that was
handed to Epstein, which by the way, was not an order, as Acosta
told me because I have been speaking to Acosta for many
years since the original investigation in the original
arrest.
So you'll notice that what you don't hear on the news, is it
who was Acosta reporting to who was above him who was the boss?
Well, there were a number of people who were the boss,
Gonzales was was the boss, and then we had to Eric Holder come
in as the boss, we had to extend an extended term for FBI
Director Robert Mueller, who was in there. So what the original
reporter here is saying is he got some kind of notice from
higher hand because this would mess everything up for Hillary
which and I remember us talking about this case back in those
days. And and I think even the the flight log was something
that that had popped up at that time, but that became a problem.
This is a term Bradley Edwards, he is the attorney for the
victims. He's been on this case for a long time. And there's the
case of the little black book, which was Epstein's, you've
probably seen some some scans of it scan of a scan of a scan. Did
I do that? Sorry. It was accidental, a scan of a scan.
But it contains a whole bunch of interesting names this app, this
was great evidence, but it became toxic. And
the document you mentioned a moment ago listening to massages
is that the little black book, The Holy Grail that every you
know, I think that's what you refer to in the documents.
Right?
Right, exactly. And that's actually a document that his
housekeeper stole from him at some point in time. And it long
story, but eventually tried to sell it to me. And then I had to
cooperate with the FBI. And
he gets more time than Epstein does.
He got more time. And then I think he died as soon as I saw
that very unfortunate. He was one of the only people that we
talked to who showed up to a deposition that was not
represented by a lawyer that was being paid for by Jeffrey
Epstein, or didn't take the fifth, like many of the other
witnesses willing to speak, he was willing to speak and willing
to tell the truth. And then he just decided to do something
stupid and illegal, and ruined all of the credibility that came
along with him. I mean, that was one of the most unfortunate and
sad parts of the entire investigation.
So we have the black book, we have the flight log, you'll
notice if you go to Bill Clinton's wiki page that as he
announced that he had only been on Epstein's airplane four times
instead of the 27 times listed in the flight logs written up by
different pilots and on different aircraft because
Epstein has a couple of not just to express he also had the Gulf
Stream. This black book contained a lot of names. And I
just want to give you a little rundown of the people in the
black book, Janice Dickinson Joan Rivers, George Mitchell,
Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, Barbara Walters, Alec Baldwin,
Ralph fiends, Finn fiends, George Hamilton, Dustin Hoffman,
Kevin Spacey, Liz Hurley, Lauren Hutton, Naomi Campbell, Christy
Turlington, Henry Kissinger, Courtney Love Mick Jagger,
Cornelia guest, Phil Collins, Itzhak Perlman, Simon Labonte,
Charlie Rose, Richard Branson, Candace Bushnell, Tom Ford, Vera
Wang, Dershowitz, Kissinger, Tony Blair, Rupert Murdoch, Ehud
Olmert, Leslie Wexner, which is we'll get to him in a second.
The Mort Zuckerman, Dennis Ross, Bernard Henri Levy, that asshole
from France. Goldman Sachs strategist Abby Joseph Cohen,
President Bush, I mean, the list of Mikhail Gorbachev, Shimon
Peres, the list goes on and on and on. From my own
investigation over two decades, I can tell you there is without
a doubt that many but maybe aggregate into one or two large
ones, pedophile networks of powerful people, and I know it
sounds really incredible to listen to. But yes, there are
people who have so much power, money wealth standing, that they
resort to this, it's like an addiction. And as with any
addiction, it gets out of control. Sex addiction is a real
thing. Now you get to this younger children sex addiction,
it happens and it's used for nefarious purposes in the
circles. Let's go to Acosta Acosta's press statement that he
gave yesterday regarding other individuals who might have been
involved, I wanted
to ask him follow through your answer the earlier question
about the potential co conspirators, were you confident
at the time that any potential additional CO conspirators
didn't commit sexual abuses against underage girls like
Epstein did, even if it may not have been the same scale because
some of those victims have accused others of doing similar
acts to them?
So let me see how I can address your question without running
afoul of Department of Justice guidelines.
Okay, so he can't say stuff. That's literally what he's
saying.
If my office had been aware of individuals who committed acts,
such as sexual abuse, you know, my office, it would not have
been my position that those individuals should have been
part of that kind of immunity. It's not even immunity should
not have been part of that paragraph. And so, so I know
that there are a lot of rumors about who those individuals may
or may not be. I think those rumors are misconstruing the
acts of the office with respect to that particular paragraph.
Okay, nice non answer, but we all understand that he cannot
talk about other people involved. Let's go back to the
victim attorney Bradley Edwards, who was more than willing to
talk to this attorney and didn't even have to be deposed. But was
Donald Trump.
The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he
is the only person who in 2009 When I served a lot of subpoenas
on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty I
connected people that I was going that I wanted to talk to
them. He is the only person who picked up the phone and said,
Let's just talk I'll give you as much time as you want. I'll tell
you what you need to know, and was very helpful in the
information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever
that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had
good information that checked out. And that helped us and that
we didn't have to take a deposition of
him. That was in 2009. That was in 2009.
So 2009 Trump is already very happy to talk to this attorney
about what he knows about Epstein apparently was very
helpful. I don't think Trump is very worried doesn't seem like
the kind of guy who would do this. If he was really
incredibly worried about being implicated in anything. In fact,
I don't think he's this kind of guy. He's got a whole bunch of
other issues, but I don't think this is one of them. One person,
interestingly enough, who has been all over the big question,
which is not even addressed, is who is Jeffrey Epstein? It
everyone says billionaire finance year? Well, shit, I'm a
finance here to our kids here. It's 20 bucks. I'm gonna finance
here. Is he a hedge fund manager? Well, no one really has
seen any trades. I'm not quite sure Where's his money coming
from? So originally, les Wexner, who owns all the Elle brands
that was kind of his guy. And in fact, I think he even bought the
mansion in New York was originally from Les Wexner. And
the secondary guy who comes along into Epstein's life who
has no you know, had no track record as a trader, no Wall
Street experience. But all of a sudden here he is finance here
to the rich and famous, Steve Hoffenberg. Steve Hoffenberg is
the guy who showed him the ropes and Epstein was in business with
him. And although he Epstein was very lucky, because Hoffenberg
before Bernie Madoff had the was convicted of the largest Ponzi
scheme in history at the time $475 million and that also took
away a lot of Epstein's of liquid cash to do whatever he
was doing. The person who's been on this and understanding who
Jeffrey Epstein really is what you're not being you're not no
one's investigating. It's just a fan. Yeah, just rich guy,
billionaire hedge fund manager. Bullshit. No one knows the guy
on the street. And Coulter actually has been all over this.
I think the most interesting things. Two things about this
case are number one, where's Jeffrey Epstein get his money.
My theory but my theory doesn't count for it all we know it's
not because he's investing money. He was you know, high
school math teacher this guy Wexner Groudon. Oh, you're a
genius. And suddenly, the amount of real estate and private
planes this guy has it is billions of dollars. You're not
privately investing anything without ever you know, moving
the market is that is clearly untrue. My theory was that he
was the concierge of this underage sex club so to speak
unlocked, and some wealthy men paid for this. But you know,
this is kind of a niche sexual fetish. underage boys and
pedophilia. I mean, how many billionaires we have here, which
makes me and and let me throw the other second thing that I
think is very interesting about this case, Epstein, according to
both the girls accounts, he wanted them to have sex with
powerful men, come back to him and report on it describe what
they wanted, what their fetishes were. And he had cameras
throughout the house. So this is obviously for blackmailing
purposes, it just seems to me there is a bigger, something
much bigger is behind this, perhaps a state sponsor,
powerful enough people for as the evidence I described for the
original state charge, forget to, you know, Democrat,
Democrat, Republicans that whatever. It just seems to me
there's something a very powerful force behind what's
going on here. And I am still nervous about this not coming to
a conclusion.
Man, I agree with an culture certainly when you see the way
the conversation is being steered. So it appears to me
that Jeffrey Epstein is the kind of guy and this wouldn't be the
first in history, but has throws parties. It's all great. We're
all it's a great time. We know how we recruited the girls, this
is this is now open knowledge. Everybody come on down to the
island. Let's hang out let's party. Yeah, maybe you can hang
out with these girls. And then after let's just take Bill
Clinton as an example. Maybe he finds a 1514 year old very
attractive, he has a good time weather. And then maybe a week
or two later, Epstein calls and says, Bill, man oh, I just found
out that you know that girl that you that you have hanging out
with at the island? Dude, she's 15 But but but you know, I got
it under control. I think we can handle this. Why don't use To
put $5 million into my Fund, which by the way is 2% 20% of
the profit, and which he just invested in s&p 500, or
something, he wasn't trading anything, but you just want you
to do that. And then I'll, I'll keep all of this on the Qt and
take into account the models, the relationship between Epstein
and the was it the cue something modeling agency, this is a
blackmail scheme. That is, it's clear as day to me as clear as
day. And it's all under the guise of we're having a good
time we're partying, it's not a problem. It's all great. And
then he just goes, and he starts to rake it in, and then
everybody's hooked. And now everybody has something on
everybody else. And I think that is the basis of his wealth, what
he's been doing the scam, he's been running, everything points
to it. There could be a bigger state actor, but well, let's
just for a second here, let's stick in. In this, this went
unfinished during the Obama administration, they should have
wrapped this all up, they should have taken care of whoever needs
to be taken care of, because this was just waiting for Trump
politically to grab this. And I think that he's that he is
steering this, he's behind it. Everything points to him not
being involved and wanting to help bring this to justice.
Maybe it also connects to Muller. Again, he had an
extended period outside of the 10 year term, which is, is
legally set in stone. But somehow they weaseled that into
two extra, maybe there was some stuff that he had to fix or some
things he had to change or whatever. Maybe the FBI was
using Epstein for blackmail purposes to get information
through him. Here's the question you were asking earlier about
being an intelligence asset. It came up in the press press
secretary,
were you ever made aware at any point, you're handling this
case? If Mr. Epstein was an intelligence asset of some sort?
So, so so so there has there has been reporting to that effect?
And let me say, there's been reporting to a lot of effects in
this,
please notice, he's not going to answer the question
case, not just now. But over the years. And and again, I would,
you know, I would hesitate to take this reporting. as fact.
This was a case that was brought by our office it was brought
based on the facts. And and I look at that reporting, and
others, I can't address it directly because of our our
guidelines. But I can tell you that that a lot of reporting is
just going down rabbit holes, a few, a few a few more questions.
Yeah. So that is another great non answer. Wish I could answer
the question. But I'll just talk about something else. So it is
possible. And this is where julienne, Max will come comes
into play daughter of Robert Maxwell, who was pretty much
seen as an Israeli asset and Israeli intelligence asset,
which I guess would be Mossad. It is possible that this was the
Israelis running this is possible that they were running
it with the FBI that they were running it together that I don't
know, maybe some of that will come out of all this. But in my
mind, we are looking here at the possibility. Something has to
happen. Something has to pop someone has to there has to be
another name that comes out it could actually be Dershowitz who
was in a very bad position, who was now just this morning I read
said, Well, you know, I did get a massage at Epstein's place,
but it was from a grandma and she kept her panties on. This is
not looking good for Dershowitz, or for anybody involved in this.
And once one or two of them fall I think we'll see Bill Clinton
go down we may see Chuck Schumer go down. There's a reason why
Schumer is on the floor calling for a cost to resign. They need
a custom Acosta is dangerous because Acosta knows who told
him to put this deal it wasn't him autonomously, a US states
attorney. Ah. So is blackmail, possibly FBI spying, possibly
part of it and Israeli intelligence blackmailing
operation, and that's where I think we're at.
Yeah, I'm completely on the opposite spectrum of this.
Mainly because of Occam's razor. Somebody pointed this out. You
have billionaires involved in his in his sex ring.
Billionaires had most of them have one or maybe two, or maybe
more fixers that would have killed this guy by now. Why
isn't he dead? And he should have been dead if this was going
on. If it was a blackmail operation, there's too many
people being blackmailed. You can't keep that many balls in
the air. It's bullshit that it was blackmail in the first
Please look at it from a more logical Occam's Razor
perspective. This guy is running. I think you're right
about their investments. And although he has had a lot of
experience at Bear Stearns, he was no slouch. But setting up an
index fund and just having people putting money into it, so
you could join the club, a whisper network, hey, yeah, you
know, if you're, if you're, you know, creative a couple million
into Epstein's low index fun to hear you get it, you get to go
to the parties, you get to do this, you get to do that and
it's gonna you're going to be introduced to a lot of young
girls. And that is not going to be filmed. There were no cameras
though. We're will be no tapes. There is no tapes, no more than
Tom Arnold and his tapes of of Trump. The DOJ idea of tapes is
all Q anon kind of thing. There's no tapes, because you
can't have tapes, you're gonna get yourself killed at this
level. Yeah, you can, you could blackmail some jerk that, you
know, makes a few $100,000 A year and he's got a wife and
kids. This is not happening with these people. They will kill
him. There are no tapes. It was a club. It was a sex tourist
club, covered up by a lot of celebrities, you join the Club
by putting some money into his fund and taking a lot of trips
to Lolita Island or whatever they call it, the Lolita express
to the island. And that's that is we keep our eyes we shut up
about it. We don't talk about it. Epstein's not talking about
it, nobody's rolling over. Nothing like this is going to
happen. Whether there's intelligence agencies involved
is probably bullshit. This is a just a straight up sex cult
club. It was a cover that he's an investment, a hedge fund
manager. And he's Yeah, he's is a hedge fund manager, he
probably does manage that money. Nobody's losing any money. But
he's making a lot of money on the kind of on the 2% 20% thing
you mentioned. I don't believe a word of this blackmail thing at
this point.
I can't counter about tapes or intelligence operations, because
that's just conspiratorial theories at this point. However,
the lawyer who was trying to bring this to justice, came back
from Chicago with his son. He had, of course, small aviation,
the plane blew up in the sky. And he had he had made a phone
call before he left saying, Oh, I think I have this I have to
have the info I need. He died. The guy who the butler who had
all the goods had the black book, he died. Two people are
dying. And we'll have to leave it at that. But if this is what
I think it is, and it is a a push from Trump, to get to a
number of people before the 2020 election, then it will unfold.
If I'm wrong, then it won't and it just goes away.
The way I see it, it'll go away except I mean, Epstein is gonna
get nailed for some visa and end up in jail, which is what Acosta
says he always wanted, he never expected him to go out on
release, according to him the now expurgated interview that I
heard, and so everybody's gonna be happy about that. I just
think this was all promoted by the media and L and elsewhere,
as a point of just another way to screw with Trump.
No, I got you made you made your point. You made your point
really clear. You did. You talked about it for 15 minutes,
you made your point about that. And that is happening. That's
what the news media is doing about
it for 15 minutes. If I talked about it for two minutes, it was
long.
The news media is taking this as a way to get to Trump. Totally
agree. I just happen to think that it is a Trump operation to
expose people before the 2020 election, that you can't you
can't counter that. I can't counter what you're saying.
Let's just see what happens right now. You're ahead because
it's being used to fuck Trump. That's no doubt about it. But I
have been around I've, I've been around these assholes, and
they're fucking creepy. And they do creepy stuff.
So nobody's denying that.
Well, when you do creepy stuff, and people know about it
blackmail comes into play with the videos or not. It's just
what happens. It comes into play, kids die. Witnesses die,
all kinds of people die.
So we'll see.
I will say that is rather odd that marine Comey. James Comey,
his daughter is apparently on the prosecution team. That's
kind of annoying. But on the other hand, I thought it was
interesting that Nancy Pelosi his daughter Christine Pelosi
tweeted the following quote, this Epstein case is horrific,
and the young women deserve justice. It is quite likely that
some of our faves are in Located, but we must follow the
facts and let the chips fall where they may whether on
Republicans or Democrats, some of our faves. What the hell does
that mean?
There was an article in The Guardian that said, let Dave let
it be exposed no matter how many Democrats fall.
Yeah. Well, you know, we had the we had a big Republican scandal,
it turns out, and this I actually tweeted, tweeted a
link. It's on YouTube. It's still everywhere. The Boystown
documentary that never aired thing was for ITV or channel
four in the UK. It's about Boystown USA, which was in
Oklahoma, and Lawrence king who ran a pedophile basically, rent
boy network to politicians that you can go back and look at it.
I mean, in fact, it was on the cover cover of The New York
Times. My uncle was doing midnight tours with gay
prostitutes of the White House during the Bush era. thing you
know, Poppy and George have been there's a lot of whispers about
their sexuality for many, many years and many scandals
involving them right down to the press room. You remember that?
One of his rent,
Boystown thing is still if you search and search and search you
will find that although it's grown hairs as they like to say,
it's your it's and the audio is grown potatoes
is out there. It's on YouTube. Interesting and Lawrence King
saying is pretty disgusting and gross. Right?
But the Republicans they like boys for some reason. That's
their kick. The Democrats ad appears they like young girls
that's unique.
It's just the facts that I have in front of me.
Yeah, that's funny.
Well, it's kind of Yeah, I this is noticeable. Some recent.
Yeah.
It's crazy, isn't it?
Yeah. Well, what do you expect? All right. Well, I think we got
it we at least we set the ground
work we grow. We need more to win something pretty
much like the the shoe thing, which is kind of an interesting
situation to start the shoe fan. We'll see what happens. It's
just what happens. But at least I think we've given a little
more information out there than the news media wants to do. And
we're not hounding Acosta to quit.
That's
yeah, I hope he doesn't Well, we'll see what do you mean the
shoe said the shoe thing what shoe thing?
Betsy Ross flag.
Like the shoe thing. That was so last episode, John, were we
moving on? Can Do It Betsy Ross shoe every single show. Well,
where would you like to pick it up from here?
Well, we can go in all kinds of different directions from that.
Can or the cannabis store is interesting. But let's know. Now
that this runs a little short oh, here's one that you're not
going to hear in this country. This is the barely this is going
on in the Great Lakes and all over the place and Canadians the
Canadians are reporting about it, but we're not. And this is
the goldfish invasion.
Well, they're an easy first pet a popular ornamental fish a
calming presence in dentist offices. But if gold fish are
discarded in the wrong way they can grow into destructive well
monsters. Parts of Lake Ontario are filled with them. So
researchers have launched a unique catch and release
operation in hopes of getting the upper hand cast Lucy shows
us how
we started tagging goldfish in 2017. Near Hamilton,
Ontario aquatic research biologist Christine Boston and
her team
are on a mission. Oh, good luck, I
miss mission to rid the waters of an unwanted and unwelcomed
predator goldfish. And not the tiny orange colored variety in
aquariums. What are they doing in the harbor? These are meant
to be in a fishbowl. Why are they so big? I don't remember
goldfish being that big.
I think they just they have the resources. They have an
unlimited supply of food here in the harbor for them. That's good
for the goldfish, which are not only surviving but thriving.
It's doing well and our native fish aren't doing well. It
competes for the habitat that our fish need to spawn and
reproduce it they generate a lot of turbidity in the water which
decrease First the water quality. So how did this happen?
Well, apparently, apparently that little goldfish and the
goldfish bowl, those little guys are stunted. Because people feed
him so much and they stay. And if you give a goldfish, a little
goldfish in your goldfish bowl the opportunity to live in a
lake, it will become two feet long. So those giant giant
goldfish that you see in the, you know, certain aquariums and
they show them off in Japan. doser the same fish that the
little guys this happened because people started flushing
the goldfish down the toilet or a goldfish get I can't get we
can't keep this goldfish honey. I'm gonna let him loose in the
lake. And so they let him go and the next thing you know, we got
we're plagued with these giant goldfish are they like koi Lake
Ontario, for starters, but apparently everyplace else in
any place that has a lot of carp, the carp which are a pain
in the ass and a nuisance, the goldfish have replaced many of
them. And so this is like a huge problem. So these are these like
Koi? Yeah, this would it looks like it looks like it's about a
two foot long. Actually, generally speaking about 12
inches to 24 inch long. Wow, goldfish.
Swallow that bitch.
I guess they're not good. Eating is definitely pretty.
Wow. That's a bitch that's happening everywhere. Um, this
is happening in Austin on beach. It's happening in Austin to you.
I got a note from the former New York banchory linked to a Wall
Street Journal article, which started off about Deutsche Bank
as the getting rid of 18,000 jobs or whatever. Yeah, they're
firing a bunch of people. But the title of his email was
remember five years ago, he said, I told you, we won. And
you look at this article, the the European banks are not doing
business anymore. It's all US banks who are doing the mergers
the acquisitions, the advisory role, the IPOs the Dutch si the
all the European banks are essentially out of business and
they still haven't dealt with the 2008 issues you know, they
still have toxic debt. This is what is happening with, with
with Deutsche Bank. So it looks like we kind of I don't know if
you talked about this with Horowitz but it looks like the
US banks have just they have taken over the eurozone and the
European banks have capitulated
will we wind by how what did she explain why the European banks
can't keep up I mean, Horowitz and I talked about most recently
about the their negative interest rate experiment which
is probably what sunk down
if you want to try and explain this because it's I think it's
useful for people to understand why
bonds overseas outside of the United States our bonds are
cheap. The bonds are expensive, but their interest rates are low
they're up to 1.8 2.2% for various length the treasury bond
in Europe and Asia, they've been experimenting because they're
looking at some other kinds of numbers and they didn't like the
idea of quantitative easing and they had a different approach to
trying to stabilize they have negative interest rates so if
you invest $1,000 And you hold the bond to maturity, you get
back like 900 and something dollars what an investment so
it's not much of an investment to say the least and so that
everybody's using arbitrage to kind of get free bonds from
their government and then buy our bonds and so it's like a
strengthened our entire banking system and our structures and
the all the major major the big big ones in fact the worst case
scenarios in Switzerland of all places where I thought they had
the strongest banking system because they have their you
know, their Swiss bankers it's like got a reputation but no,
they have the lock the biggest negative interest rate in in
Switzerland and it the whole thing is baffling me horror was
can't understand it, I can't understand it. I don't know why
they're doing it what the point of it is, and it's not doing
them any good and it's doing us a lot of good. We are the target
for investments and so money keeps flowing in the United
States hence
we won I think I think that's what it is. Yeah,
but what do we get one Yeah,
we did. I think when he says we want I think he means American
banks one I don't think that America
Well, obviously but American banks one, but what do we win
all the business? I guess so. It's just the strangest thing
I've ever seen. It doesn't make a lot of sense. Let's put it
that way. I hope somebody writes writes a book or has a better
way of explaining it. To you he's not very helpful. We won
Okay, great. Why don't we why how? You know, what was the
mechanism? How did they get started to get some do How'd
they get stupid overnight. I mean, what was What happened
that
will be something for the next dinner I take him out to? These
are the questions I will take with me and ask him profusely.
Very interesting data coming in from the ham radio community. As
you know, hams will save the world.
They will. Oh, well, right.
Where's my where's my guy? Here he is. He is my guy.
Now here we have ham radio, guys. Ham radio is the public
service network of last resort. When the apocalypse comes? Where
are the guys who are going to save the world? Right.
So there's a dude, Victor echo seven delta x ray whiskey. His
name is Alex. And he maintains the RF seismograph website. And
he has drawn the correlations between earthquake activity and
propagation of the high frequency radio bands. And
according to the RF seismograph, so propagation the way shortwave
I'll just call it shortwave to make it easy. The way shortwave
radio works that hams operate on is your signal goes out and it
bounces off the ionosphere. And it can bounce back down to earth
and it can make several skips or hops as we call it until it
reaches halfway around the world. It's it'll fade in and
fade out sometimes and this is what we call propagation and it
depends on the quote unquote, RF conditions. But around 4pm UTC
July 4 continuing to July 5, there was a total blackout of
propagation in California's Mojave Desert and this leads me
Of course immediately to conclude that there was some
something going on that may have helped spur these quakes along
you know I'm a big fan of the earthquake machine it's not like
they're like it's not talked about and it's not talked about
in Congress we played the clips of Cohen the defense was the
Secretary of Defense who said hey, everyone else has got
weather modification earthquake stuff we need to have this too.
So it's possible that there was some high oral array radio the
activity harp as we call it, that may have either
inadvertently or purposely set off something or maybe it was
just testing but to have this propagation just drop out before
during and after the event is I think is noticeable is something
of note Hmm
Well that's interesting also it he may be in a test or something
but no good course a chart where we're going to target it without
really causing you know, hurting anybody let's do the
desert. Let's do the desert. And it was right yeah, I
don't even know if they when I first heard about it being in
the Mojave Desert I didn't even know there was a town there.
Well there's a weapons testing facility that's the whole
testing facility I guess you had to have a town to support it to
get this everyone's gonna share China Lake Yes, so they have a
town there and the town was like shook
the town has been shook up
like to shut the camera inside the liquor store.

Sir Sean Fincham in Portland, Oregon. Long overdue Valley for
value donation here I know it's a bit late to the party but
wanted to share a note regarding the Nike Betsy Ross flag shoe
debacle. I have some good friends high up in Nike as does
everyone in Portland. Although not marketing unfortunately. One
in Global Football that means soccer John, the others in
logistics finance and store design. I had them cover our
Fourth of July I had them over at the Fourth of July barbecue
and I can't begin to tell you how entertaining it was to hear
them talk about the shoe controversy. I did not ask if
Colin Kaepernick was actually consulted on the matter my bad,
although I don't think they would be in the know. More to
come on that it seems as if the story has finally created a rift
within the company. A group though the vast majority
thinking it's BS they pull that they pulled the shoe. The
majority Oh wow. Which makes sense to me. Long story short
the night ended with one of my SJW friends calling another one
of my friends racist cop in mind these are two white 28 year old
lesbians in a room full of more white people in Portland wow
that's a good note.
Anyway this is exactly why we need guys like you more than
ever can't thank you enough for keeping me sane and a never
ending sea of bullshit. No jingles just jobs karma.

from Episode 717 to 816. To donation is recognizing the
fantastic work done by YouTube and all the executive producers
and associate between episodes 717 and 816. I just wanted to
quickly go over some things I learned during this run which
includes the fact that Adam has or had an air stream of
consciousness had the mudflats are probably still there. And
that no agenda episode 776 dot five is one of the best podcast
episodes ever made. If you are new to the show, you must listen
to this episode 776 dot five. It is a unique blend of humor and
knowledge. I don't want to ramble too much. So let me do my
good North no agenda duty and call out Franco as a douchebag
is new to the show and grinding away in school. But I don't want
him to fall into the trap of not donating to the best podcast in
the universe. Let me remind everybody that every bit helps
the show. And it feels good to donate. Which is by the way a
scientific fact. I mean, it's been studied. Adam dzingel

fabulous opportunity for lots of good karma this Sunday coming up
with our special trifecta of donations please remember that
ball rack.org/n A and that's where you want to go all right
everybody standby for more deconstruction because that's
what it's all about
our formula is this we go out for yet people in the mouth yah,
yah, yah, yah. Yah,
that was a good group.
That was a great group and funny too funny. Like it was funny.
So we have a report I just want to do as an informational
report. Okay. This is summer middle of summer in most places
not here. In California coast is always chilly but kids in hot
cars. Be careful out there
next tonight to the warning to parents as the first heatwave of
the season grips parts of the country. Police say a three year
old boy was found dead after trapping himself in a minivan in
Morristown Tennessee. At least 15 hot car deaths now report in
the US this year. Here's ABCs Marcus more.
This frantic scene unfolding outside in Oklahoma liquor store
police trying to open a car's doors. A 14 month old child left
inside Wednesday as two women walked toward the car. Fisher
car. Opened it up right now. Turn put your hands on your
back. The hell you think a second officer removing the
child. Police say he was wearing only a wet diaper clammy to
touch and had bright wet skin.
Is that your child? Then you come here. Turn around, put your
hands behind your back. The child's
mother arrested in 2018 52 children died in hot cars across
the country. And already this year, more than a dozen had lost
their lives.
Wow. What idiots are these people?
I don't know. It's California.
It's California. Well,
California put this in national report dammit.
Yeah, that's you're pretty stupid if you do that. Even for
what's the big deal? You take the kid out and the kid is that
one kid was just crawling around anyway, yeah, put it into this
story. Hold them you can
put the kid on a leash
work with kids. It was it was a baby. Oh, he couldn't walk.
Okay. So anyway, I got this report I got from PBS and I put
it at the beginning of w t f. Because it's a report on drug
prices. And it just there's something in here that makes
zero sense. You will hear it at federal
court in Washington has blocked the Department of Health and
Human Services for making drug companies show prices in their
TV ads. The mandate was to take effect today in a bid to bring
about lower prices. But the court said that Congress never
granted the power to enforce such a rule.
So here's what to do report says that there's a law on the books
now that says you have to put these drug prices on there. But
because there's no enforcement recommendations or any sort of
enforcement, I guess, part of it part of the law has no way of
enforcing
a rule. It's not a law. It's a rule.
I don't think a rule but there's no enforcement of the rule. You
don't have to follow the rule. When is this? When did this ever
happen? During the rules, the rules the rule? I mean, you
don't need the enforcement part to make it a rule. This
is what the entire Obama administration had rules that
were not enforced. You kidding me? That's every agency did not
enforced the tons. How about immigration on the border, they
did not enforce the rules. Now this is this is very normal.
Is it's irregular as far as I'm concerned.
I have seen drug prices on some ads though. I am and recently,
maybe maybe three days ago. And it was it was Oh man. I forget
what it was. Maybe it was Lexapro. Tina caught it and it
was like $10,000 a month. Oh, geez. Yeah. Yeah. You know,
people don't see it. But every single I think every drug
television ad at the end has in the small print. If you can't
afford it, if you don't have insurance, you can call Have
them and they will give you the medication. Yes, it
is they will help you there. They're going to help you.
They're going to give you any they
in I have looked into this and they wind up giving people the
medication
they don't I'm not saying that they don't do it once in a while
now they do it almost all
the time. They don't do news stories about it. And it's not
something you're supposed to know. But they will, they will
not let you die if you can't get their drug for some reason. Now,
it doesn't mean you won't die by taking their drug. But that's a
different story. With that, they say, Oh, we might help that, but
they will. They will. This is this is a this is a no agenda
tip actually just say you can't afford it. Call them up. If you
really can't afford it. They will give it to you.
Well, who can afford a $10,000 a month? Drug? Yeah, I can't.
I don't think I need it either. That's just trying to keep my
marijuana habit alive. That's
about that. I think there's a marijuana story in here. A
cannabis reform series is a new thing you're doing on PBS. Let's
play a part of it.
There's been a big shift in the attitudes toward marijuana use
in many places around the country. Increasingly new state
laws are following voter attitudes. We are still in the
latest wave of legalization of cannabis. One that's not
finished yet. And we're going to spend some time this week
looking at the many different ways it's affecting individuals,
communities, businesses, and state governments. Our series is
called the Green rush. And William Brangham begins with
this broader look. Illinois is
now the 11th state along with Washington DC to legalize
recreational marijuana in the US. With overwhelming and
bipartisan support. The state legislature passed a bill that
allows for a regulated recreational market starting
next year. Illinois is just the latest state to join the
legalization wave that's been sweeping across the country.
Colorado and Washington were first back in 2012. Now nearly
30% of the country live in states where recreational pot is
legal. Perhaps it's not a coincidence that public support
for legalization has also soared to record levels. A 2018 Gallup
poll found 66% of Americans support it. That's up more than
20% from a decade ago, and more than 50% since 1969.
There's really two dominant forces affecting public opinion
around cannabis legalization.
John who DEC is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and
author of marijuana A Short History
States and realizing the sky isn't falling. The doomsday
predictions of opponents are not really coming true. The other
force is generational replacement. The people who
oppose cannabis reform are the oldest people in our society.
Okay, I found that to be somewhat insulting
because of the older ageism,
yes, no ageism, but I'm a huge proponent of it, not a pothead
by any means. So you can't get to write that part of it off.
And I've always been for legalization. I've always
thought it was silly that it wasn't legalized, but I guess
some other people in my ilk, as my Ilkka age ilk. We're against
it all align. These are probably the same people that don't know
how to use a computer. But I digress. We can listen to part
two if you want.
The marijuana grown and fold today is also far more potent,
and now far more available than it used to be. And that's raised
some public health concerns. Researchers warn of a rise in
what's called marijuana use disorder where chronic use of
the drug often negatively impacts the user's life. Some
states have also seen an increase in cases of driving
under the influence of marijuana. Marijuana related
hospital visits are also up, though most cases involve
someone smoking or eating too much, which resolves pretty
quickly. In some states that legalized the number of underage
users went up. But in others it didn't.
What we know is that the legalization of cannabis can
have these public health and public safety impacts. But it
does not. It is not clear that cannabis does cause these
effects. And so the best bet that states have is to recognize
that these effects are possible and to try to combat them in
advance before they become a reality.
And having some standing in the area. Justin, the drug dealer
who's been with me for Well, since I've been in Austin, I
think yeah, I think yeah, since I've been in Austin. The last
delivery he so he gets everything from California now.
And the the actual flower the actual bud that he gave me was
soap is so incredibly potent that I actually was affected.
And I can't remember being this affected in 25, maybe even
longer. 2530 years I think I think maybe even more than I
think the last time i i was so affected by that weed was when I
was 18. And I had to sit down and he said the teenagers, I
don't know what's going on and I gotta sit down for a second way
too potent. The whole everything that's happening in California
is now the vape pens. That's that's a big deal. But now
there's the pure THC. Have you heard of this? The pure THC THC?
Yeah, you can get it. And it's a Washington it's available to and
it's a white powder. Is that what you're talking about?
No, I don't know. I've never seen it. I just know about it.
Okay, so it's there's this,
the pure THC. And they have some process where they extract it.
And it almost looks like cocaine. And that's what people
dab. So you put it in on a hot coil, basically, and smoke it in
a vape like fashion. But this is crazy. The stuff that they're
making. Now, I have to say, I'm coming from me that's a big
deal. Like this is a little too much. And we should people need
to know, levels. Responsible. It is it is irresponsible. That I
it's just gone crazy. And I actually for a moment thought.
Oh my God. Don't tell me I'm going to scrub it.
That would be funny. No, that would not
be fun. Because apparently that's horrible. I I haven't
vomited in 40 years.
Can you believe that?
There are some people who have never vomited for some reason.
Yeah,
I just don't, I don't vomit. It just doesn't happen. I think I
have a stomach of iron, which is
excreting would really be an embarrassment of joy. It would
be very,
very bad. Can't have any of that. So yeah, be careful
people. Remember, you can always smoke more, not less. You can
always dad more, not less. You could always spray more. By the
way the spray stuff that we got from Jambo Joe. I liked that
stuff. Yeah, the THC spray has good stuff. Anyway, I think that
definitely needs some guidelines. Right now. It's just
wild west as Wild West, but I think that guidelines would be
good. When, when a lifelong smoker says it's getting pretty
heavy. It's getting pretty heavy. Now let's talk about the
2020 election, which is still all that is really talked about
here in general in the US. I'm very happy to hear that CNN has.
He's starting to go our way. They are starting to turn these
debates into a little bit of a game show. We've we've got some
some positive movement. Now the there will be colored lights to
help the candidates manage their remaining response times the
lights will turn yellow and then to flashing red. And then when
their time is out solid red.
Yeah, when their time is out, they should cut cut the mic.
Sandman come out with the hook. A candidate attacked by name by
another candidate will be given 30 seconds to respond. That's an
interesting that can be used in interesting ways.
That was that was the rule before? Well, here's
here's one that changed and we know why. There will be no show
of hands or one word down the line questions. I guess the
Democratic Party looked thought that they look pretty foolish
when everybody put their hand up and said Sure, sure. free health
care for anyone who's here illegally. So that's off, they
can't do that anymore. That was
I'm reminded of the one classic example of why that's stupid.
And they're still pushing it. Which is Yeah, well, you know,
they've kind of backing off a little bit. But the here's the
problem. You have free health care for anyone in the country.
Every person who's dying anywhere in the world can just
buy an airplane ticket fly to the United States without having
to crawl over the border or anything else. Now you're here
on a visa for a tourist and you can have your your cancer cured.
They would they would turn the entire country into a ward of a
hospital ward. It's idiotic to do even suggest that you should
be able to do this and that's what they're suggesting.
They're suggesting that that will that's no longer well yeah,
there was
no free health care if you're here and we get the free health
care so you don't want a bunch of sick people walking around?
Yes. Okay. I would invite everybody in the world who's
sick if they can get an airplane ticket for to get our into our
medical system is cured here. That would fly right over here
and just get my free. Everything
questions posed by the moderators will appear at the
bottom of the screen for television viewers. That's so
the, I guess people are forgetting what was the question
again. And here's a new one. A candidate who consistently
interrupts will have his or her time reduced. In the penalty box
you go, I don't know, how are they going to enforce that? I
can just see it. Senator Gillibrand, Senator Gillibrand,
we're gonna have to deduct 30 seconds from your time you
really think that's going to happen
is that they're making things too complicated.
I think it's gonna be a hoot. I can't wait to see this. Oh, by
the way, I wanted to ask you, how's uh, how's that Kamala
Biden ticket coming?
Sorry, I'm gonna take him at his word. But again, that doesn't
address the issue of busing in America. And the fact that he
still, you know, we have to, we cannot rewrite history about
what segregationists were doing at that time on a number of
issues, including opposing busing.
So it seems like she's still pretty pissed off at an Uncle
Joe there.
All right, well, let me I'm not going to change the prediction
yet. But I will say it's possible that she has. I'm not
the only one who would think like this. So she would have
that information herself, that is possible that she would be a
vice presidential candidate under Biden, because she'd be
perfect. She's a mixed race, color woman with a woman. It's
not a bad idea. And then Kristen, she get presidency if
he doesn't last through the office. And maybe she doesn't
even want to consider something like that. And so she's
submarining her own chances.
While she's really trying with this,
why is she doing this? What is the point she's not making? Is
she getting any more people on her side? Because she's slim and
poor uncle Joe? Maybe? I don't think so.
I don't know. I can't look at her books. I don't know. I do
know that what she's pushing. Is this. No redlining, mortgage
plan that will help
Oh, geez, that's a new idea. I've never heard of such a
thing.
Well, the problem with this is that she's calling it a plan to
help black America. And there's certain things that are within
this document that make it clearly not just about black
America. Yes, that's right. It's time for my my weekly ADOS
segment. I Antonio Moore, who definitely leads a group of
black Americans who do not like Kamala Harris had this to say
my family is destroyed as a result of slavery, and
cannibalism. My family is destroyed as a result of
American slavery. Kamala Harris's is Kamala Harris is
presented of no black agenda. Kamala Harris is presented no
black agenda. The housing plan that she submitted the housing
plan that she submitted, Yvette Cornell will hash it out later
on this evening tonight. But it's nonsense. It is not focused
on black folks. It is focused on white people that were
gentrifying, she set the income threshold at 100,000. She said
the income threshold, she's not going to look at wealth, there's
going to be transfer. So we're not gonna do any real work to
make sure that white people who come from wealth that are going
to air Well, white Millennials are not getting the bulk of this
program. We don't set the threshold so high that they
don't fall into the group and they maybe take most of the
money. Understand that the middle black family in this
nation makes $35,000 How do you set the threshold at $100,000?
Because you're not making this program for black folks. How do
you get to go in essence festival and say that a program
that is not for black folks is a black homeownership racial
wealth gap closure. She don't know that number. She don't
understand the racial wealth gap and she don't understand ados.
She doesn't know enough to be having this discussion. Kamala
Harris does not have enough policy undergirding to have a
discussion about the racial wealth gap. She'll get out there
and talk about it. And then give us Lucien that data even for
black folks, let alone ados. Folks, I don't know how this
woman is running.
I don't know either. Antonio.
Has a good punch line.
What I found interesting about her plan, is it she's going to
rejigger the way your credit score works or at least that's
in her plan. And and what the plan states is if you pay
certain bills on time, such as your utility bill, your your
cable bill and your rent is in there but certainly utilities is
a big one, then your credit score will be positively
impacted. What does that sound like? I will tell you, that is
exactly what Credit Karma does. That is exactly what all of
these, all of these apps that are there to get you into deeper
debt owned by Google, or at least majority shareholder
Credit Karma, Google. They want, they want to know everything
about you. They want they want to be your bank, they are going
to bank rupt. You. And guess maybe she's in with them. Maybe
this is I think she is the Silicon Valley candidate,
although she's definitely in the area.
And so this would make sense for her to be pushing something like
this, because this would benefit Google directly. They would
really be a part of this would love to have her as president.
Yeah, they would this would be a good a good thing for them.
You know that they don't care. They don't want Biden they would
they would have her? Yeah. You talked
about the borders earlier. Yeah. And I'm, I'm a little surprised
you didn't have a clip about this. But I'm happy that I
clipped it because I had one of those moments where like, John
will habit that this is a learning moment for everybody.
And when you think I should I really send that link to Adam
and John or and I prefer it if you send it to me or John, not
to both of us, because then often just like, same problem.
People send a half I'm sure someone I'm sure. I'm sure
someone already sent it to him. Usually, they haven't. And I'd
rather receive a link 100 times than not receive it. So do not
apologize. If if you feel like oh, you probably have received
this 100 times now just keep on sending it. So what I'm
referring to is Jeh Johnson on the PBS NewsHour with Judy. Did
you see Jeff? No, I
didn't know what it had probably clipped. And you're right.
Jed Johnson. J is his real name. Do you spell A J A Jeh fan
favorite of the show on Jeff Bucha. We call him Joe Johnson.
He was on with the Judy and it was after he OD? Is it Judy?
Judy isn't? Yes, Judy, him just he was a hung with Judy. And he
had written an op ed, which stirred a lot of people up on
the left about the border situation. Now he was the he ran
Department of Homeland Security for three years under Obama. And
here's what he had to say.
You've talked about, in fact, you wrote an opinion piece over
the weekend in which you talked about it's time for Straight
talk from America's political leaders on from both political
parties. One of the things you refer to was frankly, what
Democratic presidential candidates some of them are
advocating. And that is either decriminalizing people who
crossed the border and commit no other crime. In other words,
saying it would be okay. It would be legal for them to stay
in the United States. You're saying that's not realistic,
Judy, that I'm afraid this is getting lost. Most Americans and
I know this from personal experience and propose most
Americans want an immigration policy that treats people in a
fair and humane way, particularly those who have been
here for years were becoming de facto Americans integrated
members of society. They want to see us take care of the dreamer
class, but they also want a secure border. And the other
reality is that when we change our policy and we signal to
people beyond our borders, that effectively our borders are open
and that you will not be deported unless you commit a
crime for example. The migrants will hear that message it will
be aggravated and amplified by the smugglers and instead of
100,000 a month we'll be dealing with tuna 300,000 a month and
these overcrowded conditions will be even worse
so continue to keep keep it illegal to cross the border one
quick thing I do want to
I love I do okay, so just keep continue to keep it illegal. Let
me ask you something else.
Wrong answer MACRA that's a great clip. Wrong answer
Johnson.
Okay, we'll just how to keep continue to keep it live.
Judy's off the rails.
She's all in on open borders and free health care. Apparently the
two things that can never go together as you just posited.
I did I posit to did it. Did it did it?
Oh my goodness. Hey, so I'm Megan Rapinoe, the CO captain of
the United States women's national team soccer
and we Yeah, American national team and she hates the country.
I do have a clip of this. Oh, I have a couple clips but I'm
having soccer team Megan complains Democracy Now of
course. Second,
okay. In New York City, fans are celebrating the US women's
soccer teams historic World Cup victory today with the ticker
tape parade. The team won its record fourth World Cup Sunday
its second consecutive win. The games also brought renewed
attention to the team struggle for equal pay. Earlier this year
they sued the US soccer fans Federation for gender
discrimination. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin introduced a
bill Tuesday to withhold federal funding for US participation in
the 2026 FIFA World Cup unless the United States Soccer
Federation implements equal pay for the women's soccer team.
Outspoken co Captain Megan Rapinoe, has also made headlines
for her comments about Trump during the World Cup saying, I'm
not going to the effing White House. On CNN Tuesday, Anderson
Cooper asked Rapinoe what her message to President Trump is.
Your message is excluding people. You're excluding me,
you're excluding people that look like me. You're excluding
people of color. You're excluding, you know, Americans
that, that maybe support you. I think that we need to have a
reckoning with the message that you have and what you're saying
about making America great again, I think that you're
harking back to an era that was not great for everyone. It might
have been great for a few people. And maybe America is
great for a few people right now. But it's not great for
enough Americans.
Megan Rapinoe also said the soccer team would be traveling
to Washington, DC at the invitation of several lawmakers
in Congress, but repeated she would not accept an invitation
to the White House and she did not want her message or the
team's platform to be co opted.
Interesting. Do interesting background or to kind of When
did she own the team? By the well, let me let me talk about
this because I did a little deeper dive than just this
report. I won't play her matches to President Trump because that
was in your report. Although I do find it interesting. She says
people that look like me now. I'm sorry, Megan, that's for
black people. Is what they have pink hair. Is that what your
problem is? I didn't that just she was just spouting off like a
social justice warrior when she said that. And she actually Nina
and I'm gonna play this.
She actually
had to think about it she had she didn't have an answer that
readily available. You listen, there's
a good chance the President is watching this interview or will
watch this interview. What is your message to the President?
Message to the president.
She wasn't even ready. So she's just going to spout off whatever
she knows.
I think that I would say that your message is excluding
people. You're excluding me. You're excluding people that
look like me she talking
about? She's gay. They just know that. But what her message she
goes on. He's excluding everybody, according to her.
Well, let's listen to the rest of it. She says I mean, who
fucking cares? Just listen to the goddamn clip for two seconds
is excluding me, you're excluding me. You're excluding
people.
You're asking questions like you know the answer. There's
nothing. There's nothing there like bullshit, that you know
that she's just, that's what I'm saying is just hate. It has
nothing to do with anything she means when she says, You're
excluding people who look like me, she now thinks she's black,
because that's what black people say to Trump. That's my point.
I think that I would say that your message is excluding
people. You're excluding me, you're excluding people that
look like me. You're excluding people of color. You're
excluding, you know, Americans that that made me support you. I
think that we need to have a reckoning with the message that
you have and what you're saying about making America great
again, I think that you're harking back to an era that was
not great for everyone, it might have been great for a few
people. And maybe America is great for a few people right
now. But it's not great for enough Americans in this world.
And I think that we have a responsibility each and every
one of us, you have an incredible responsibility, as
you know, the chief of this country to take care of every
single person, and you need to do better for everyone.
So notice what she said throughout the entire interview,
she's talking about this country, this country, this
country,
I would not go and every teammate that I've talked to
explicitly about it would not go everyone that you've talked to
everyone that I've talked to Yeah, I don't think I don't
think anyone on the team has any interest in lending the platform
that we've worked so hard to build and the things that we
fight for and the way that we live our life. I don't think
that we want that to be co opted or corrupted by this
administration. But I think it's an opportunity for this
administration to sort of put us on display as their, you know,
sort of guests for the day. And I don't think that that makes
sense for for us at all. I can't imagine any, any one of my
teammates would want to be put in that position. There's,
there's so many other people.
Alright, so she keeps saying this country, this country, this
administration until she starts talking about somebody else,
there's
a good chance the President is watching this interview or will
watch this interview.
What are you sorry, that's the wrong one. This is the one that
you mean. This one here.
So does that mean is that an invitation you're Picking up
Nancy Pelosi has said, you know, you're you'd be welcomed to a
bipartisan congressional thing. Do you plan on going to
Washington in one case, one way or another?
Yes, definitely. And I think even this conversations with the
teammates that I've had, I think everyone is interested in going
to Washington, I think we've always been interested in going
to Washington, this is such a special moment for us. And to be
able to, you know, sort of leverage this moment and talk
about the things that we want to talk about and to celebrate like
this with the leaders of our countries in the moment. So
and there it is. And that's the problem with these people. If
you lose, if your side loses, it's still our country, it's
still our people. It's still our president, it's still our
leaders. This shit needs to stop. And you can tell by
someone's words within five minutes, where, what they're
what they're all about, and if this, this country, this
country, this country, this country, but when it's something
she likes our country, country that is very disingenuous
irks me about this is that there's no way there's not one
or two normal people on that team that would love to go to
the White House, but she's a bully, and she's prevented
anybody from speaking up except her
correct. Now, I will say I watched the full interview with
her on Anderson Cooper. I watched the full interview with
her on Rachel Maddow. I don't dislike her. I think she's good
for the sport because you need someone who is a loudmouth has a
great profile. Her stance with their arms wide one little bit
higher is iconic is thought about is branding. Maybe the
Nike people helped her out with that. And by the way, they got a
lot of money in this federation. So this is all aimed fighting at
the Federation level. It's about sponsorships. It's about the
money. She's pissed off that they had three World Cups all at
the same time. She's doing a very good job because you need a
loudmouth like a Beckham. You need a well, you used to be a
loudmouth. You need the you need loudmouths who are great players
to propel the sport forward. So I'm not I'm not so much against
that. But she's at the end of her career. You see, She's 34,
she's almost 35, she only has a few more years to go, she'll do
the Olympics, she may not even do the next World Cup. So I
don't have that much of a problem with it. I do have a
problem with the US Soccer Federation. I mean, this thing,
there is so much money in here. And it's every single sports
brand. It's Anheuser Busch, these, those are the guys who
determine where the money go. So to make this about equal pay,
and all that crap is is completely, completely
outrageous. here's the here's the ad that Nike ran right after
their win.
I believe that I believe that we will be four time champions and
keep winning until we not only become the best female soccer
team, but the best soccer team in the world. And then a whole
generation of girls and boys will go out and play and say
things like, I want to be like Megan Rapinoe when I grow up,
and that they'll be inspired to talk and win and stand up for
themselves. And I believe that we will make our voices heard
and TV shows will be talking about us every single day and
not just once every four years. And then women will conquer more
than just a soccer field. Every single glass ceiling faces and
it will keep fighting not just to make history forever.
So what she is is a spokesperson for social justice and brand
identity marketing. That's what this is all about. Everything
that comes out of her mouth is all about the brand. And as we
know from social media, anything Trump is bad for the brand can't
be a part of it. Look at the logo, she's wearing the Nike
logo, and that is what is going on with her. To add to that
there was a big conference recently of advertisers called
add colors. And this was about advertising towards people of
color. And they brought out Mark Pritchard, the Chief Brand
Officer you can believe that title of Procter and Gamble.
Procter and Gamble is a lot of what we call FMCG is fast moving
consumer goods would it have tied really have big Procter and
Gamble brands? John
Colgate last Colgate Palmolive? Pop, I don't know. I don't know
don't keep track of there's two of these two giant companies and
you know, Colgate Palmolive and Procter and Gamble
Okay, right. They got Listerine, they got to plus She got Oreo,
they got all kinds of stuff. So this guy comes out and he's
talking to this crowd. And did they have Oreo? Oh, there was a
troll room comments. So I thought maybe they did. So Mark
Pritchard, the Chief Brand Officer comes out after showing
a video of an advertisement, which was called the talk. And
the advertisement shows black mothers and fathers talking with
their kids that talk about how you have to be careful when you
get pulled over by cop how you have to how you have to act, and
that you may have to work twice as hard then white than white
children of the same age. I'd not sure I agree with all
everything that's in this the top commercial. So he comes out
of that. And here's kind of his little rap,
you're just seeing the talk, which is brilliant, creative,
work, brilliant. But it was also a moment of truth, where we
stepped up to take a bold stand. We shine a light on racial bias
by focusing on the talk that black parents in America
constantly have with their children to help them deal with
the everyday prejudice that they'll face. And this was a
powerful statement. But it was not without controversy. Most of
the responses were positive, with one group saying, that's my
life. Thank you for recognizing it. And another group saying,
Wow, I didn't realize that happens. Let's talk about it.
The some reactions were negative, denying that the issue
exists at all. And a few were very negative, angrily saying
why are companies involved in social and political issues? Why
don't you just stick to selling products? Well, we had an answer
to that. If not us, then who? If not now, then when we didn't
stop. In fact, we double down on both advertising spending and
PR. We worked with the ABC hit show blackish to do an entire
episode on the talk with national advertising. We
reinforced the message that this film has an important purpose
that is needed today more than ever, to promote conversation.
Conversation leads to understanding, understanding
leads to changing attitudes, attitude change leads to
behavior change, and behavior change leads to positive action.
We were even asked to consider editing out some of the
controversial parts of the ad. But we refused. Because that
would have denied truth. And just because it's not one
person's reality, doesn't mean that it's not another person's
truth. Now the heat we faced was a real moment of truth. We read
some very angry, harsh and hateful male. People within our
own company wondered if the fight was worth it. And we had
to ask ourselves, do we stand down and avoid controversy? Or
do we keep going to speak truth and inspire conversations? We
chose to keep going? Because there's so much more.
And this by the way is the more
the more that must be done the advertised lies
the advertising community congratulating each other but I
know what this is about. And I couldn't figure it out why why
did they keep doing this? Why do brands want to be all social?
And what what is the point and after I read this Wall Street
Journal article about regulators who are really diving into the
way you can advertise on on the internet today, particularly
Facebook, I think is mentioned the most here where you can come
where you can segregate right down to age, race, sexuality,
all all these different things to target a market which is of
course has been called racist, that's racist. So these guys as
he said himself, they're doubling down why? Because they
want to justify it. They they know that if they can find the
right product for LGBTQ Qi APK that they can sell a shitload of
product to that group. But when they do that, they get called
out as being you know, as doing it off the backs of gay people,
which they're doing, but now they have this on on a no, you
see, we are speaking up, because if we don't do it, who will do
it? They are taking themselves above all of this to say it's
okay for us to be racist, or sexist or ageist when targeting
advertising, which by the way has been the norm ever since
advertising was invented. But because of all the scrutiny now
they have to turn it into something else. I think it'll
backfire. But for now, that's what they're holding to. We have
to do it. You people can't do it. We we the brands we
understand we understand the injustice
Okay, That's it.
I yeah, I guess
nothing to add nothing nothing. No comment.
No, no, not really. Plus disappoint. I think it is gonna
backfire. And that's that will I don't know how it's gonna
backfire, but these guys can get themselves out of it.
Well, they can always get themselves out of it. But in the
meantime, I think the brands are garnering a lot of power this
way.
Because, you know, I'm not seeing it.
You know, you agree with me that they're responsible for a lot of
the content takedowns
who all the advertisers are.
Yeah, yeah. But mainly the brand advertisers,
by the way, on the big the big boys, whether they're,
yeah, no. All right. So I
know that Procter and Gamble per se as a brand. It's their
products like, Well, no,
individually, it's the individual brands. So the for
instance, they they took T shirts, and they printed on the
T shirts, slurs against Mexicans, and Cubans, except
they didn't print it in ink, they printed it in ketchup. And
then they hung them all up in the store had, it's all in
Spanish. That's why I don't have a clip. And they brought in, you
know, the target market. And this is an ad by the way, they
brought in the target market. And they're looking at these
like, Wow, I can't believe this is so disgusting. This is
completely racist t shirt, and then all of a sudden, they say,
Uh huh. But we're going to help you remove the labels with tide.
And they pull out the tide pod. And of course it washes the
ketchup right out. I mean, that's the kind of shit they're
doing now.
I just think of it as pandering.
Hey, Twitter is way down down like has a massive problem. Like
something that we haven't seen. I think they may have been
hacked, actually. Someone said,
Oh, Twitter is down right now you're saying Yeah.
been down for a while. And apparently it may not come back
very soon.
It doesn't take much of you get inside these things, you know,
to bring the whole thing down. It's a problem with online
everything.
I love that we need more of this to go down. Finally, we don't
because you had nothing but an hour's worth of agony this
morning largely because of online. Well, now you're gonna
get like your rep web browser.
You're gonna get all technical on me about that. That's not
fair. We love it. When someone else says technical problems. We
hate it when it happens to us.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
they should be able to thank problem is, you know, I don't
know how this happens. But I have a mic stand. It's got it
screwed into a bass.
Oh, this is the thing that's falling down again. Yeah.
And it's and I don't move this mic. But it's slowly over months
and months unscrews itself. And I'm reminded of if everyone
remembers it when they had a phone with a cord.
With tangle you could never get it
somehow over. You're just picking up the phone. You talk
talk talk and he put it back. You pick up the phone you talk
to you put it back. But somehow, over months and months it starts
to twist. You're not twisting it. I'm not to me who's twisting
it?
Maybe someone comes in when you're not looking at your
secret? Your secret studio. By the way, when Twitter's down a
lot of people can't log into other things because they
foolishly thought it was a great idea to use their Twitter to log
into stuff.
Well, Facebook's worse for that.
They both do it but apparently the whole authorization system
is down.
Yes probably as microservices architecture. Ah
there it is.
Little one little guy one to one little system which they didn't
really have a workaround for is this down and the whole thing is
down because nobody did their job. But with Suraj did his job

So we have a ruling contrary to controversies, the UK ambassador
and Trump and Twitter I get this Trump and Twitter rundown which
I have some thoughts on.
Okay, let's have a listen. Trump
is violating the Constitution when he blocks his critics on
Twitter. Jamil Jaffer of Columbia University's Knight
First Amendment Institute which filed the lawsuit said quote,
public official social media accounts are now among the most
significant forums for discussion of government policy.
This decision will ensure that people aren't excluded from
these forums simply because of their viewpoints and that public
officials aren't insulated from their constituents criticism. It
will help ensure the integrity and vitality of digital spaces
that are increasingly important to our democracy. Jamil Jaffer
said,
Hmm, okay.
Well, you know, hopefully he knows he can mute people.
Because there's no discussion going on, unfortunately, can't
go on Twitter, because it's something is technically wrong.
These guys are in trouble.
I would love it to read some of the tweets that he has to put up
with these are not discussions. You're more You're a moron. You
know, the Rob Reiner type of thing. I mean, this is nonsense.
He should be able to block whoever he wants.
And it's not like you can't log out and then look at it anyway.
I think even doesn't Twitter or when they were working true.
Back in the day when Twitter was working. You could click on the
This tweet is from someone who you've blocked by now that's the
other way around. I'm sorry. That wouldn't work that way.
No, but you're right. If you're blocked, you can just go on
Twitter and go to this thing by unclogging. Yeah. So it's not as
though you can't get to the tweets, right? So this is
bullcrap. This is just another thing, just harass the President
of the United States. Okay, well,
you know what he did? And he brought down Twitter said, Hey,
bite me. It's what he did right there. Like go
Trump should just keep blocking people.
And keep bringing Twitter down. It's hilarious. And this is on
social media day, by the way. Trump has a like it's social
media conference or something of which he hasn't invited any
social media companies.
And the sad I have no no knowledge of this. Oh, yeah.
So we invite I think he let me see Social Media Day White
House. I know he invited like the GRE graphics guy. Let me
see. I wonder who does it say who's invited here? Ben Garrison
fringe conservative cartoonist. Who else is invited Charlie Kirk
carpet dunked them
shortly Kirk
yes let me see Is anyone else here? Troll room maybe you can
help me out with some other people there so I'm not sure
exactly what he's doing but I was having a party Yeah, and and
then he probably went hey, watch this. And they brought Twitter
down. Oh crap it just came back. Oh, we've having trouble loading
your timeline. Huh? who these guys are? You thought I get
pissed off when shit doesn't work on the show. These guys
someone's must be banging their head right now. This is not
good.
Money money last uh Yes.
Every second they're down they losing money.
Okay, well, so let's just talk about the ambassador situation
which is kind of funny and the other hand, so I kind of did a
little dive into it. I couldn't get anywhere but let's play UK
Ambassador de anda is the democracy now report.
Britain's ambassador to the United States can Derek resigned
today following the fallout from leaked cables in which he called
Trump inept, insecure and incompetent in cables going back
as far as 2017 Dark questioned whether the Trump administration
will ever look competent. He also said Trump's presidency
could crash and burn and voice fears that he may launch an
attack on Iran. On Tuesday, Trump continued to lash out at
Derek tweeting the wacky ambassador that the UK foisted
upon The United States is not someone we are thrilled with a
very stupid guy Trump said. He also called Outgoing Prime
Minister Theresa May foolish and blamed her for creating a mess
of Brexit.
So in that report, it says that they went with you. He's bitched
about Trump since going back to 2017. So I found a clip of him
in 2017. At some meeting, talking about the Trump
administration in a public forum and I want to play it. And I
don't know I can't go I don't know what this guy must be two
faced or he's just a nice guy in public and he hates people in
private and zeros. I have no idea but this is what he thinks
of the administration. Supposedly when he was still
writing bad, bad memos,
Mr. Ambassador and Garen with the Washington Post. Could you
expand a little bit please on
2017
Yes, that's what I'm playing UK Ambassador 2017 Actually, UK
Ambassador Dior 2017.
Once a weight starts up, Mr. Ambassador. Okay, let me let me
preface it. This is a question from the Washington Post. Okay,
go
up Mr. Ambassador and Garen with the Washington Post. Could you
expand a little bit please on something you said a few answers
ago about your government's dealings with the new
administration and how you're finding the flow of information.
There's been a lot written about nobody home at the State
Department and difficult to getting people confirmed at the
at the higher and mid levels. Are you finding any problem
getting your own questions answered getting in to see the
people you need to see. And then just a moment ago, you mentioned
Tillerson at NATO. How do you assess the he was going to go
then he wasn't going to go then he was going to go again to the
rescheduled meeting. Were you surprised by that? What would
your advice be?
On your first question? I mean, the Frank straightforward. The
short answer is no, we're not expected to experience problems.
Indeed, the country. The Prime Minister was lucky enough to get
into luck. I mean, she was invited to see the new president
within a week of inauguration 27th of January, which was
actually historically early for a British prime minister to get
we checked the records back so um, we couldn't have had a
warmer or more gracious welcome or gotten sooner we felt foreign
secretary was over, as I say last week. And in one day, a
day. Also, when I think there was something going on on health
care, you don't follow these things, obviously, but quite a
busy day for the administration. Nevertheless, he got to see
basically over the course of a day, Vice President Pence,
Secretary of State Tillerson, and National Security Adviser,
HR McMaster, which I think is pretty good, often ministration
to be that accessible on such an exceptionally sort of pressured
today in the in the domestic kind of legislative calendar.
Well, this guy should be fired for being boring. Ah,
I couldn't I knew I could get some clip off of this. But this
boring is like the is not even close to describing.
So what's up with this?
I don't see what we're you know, he's like thinking he's singing
their praises, I guess and then the back now you guys are
raunchy holes. I find people like this to be reprehensible.
Well, that's
what everybody does. We've read the the US diplomatic cables on
WikiLeaks. They're all Hey, there they're up there with the
with the Epstein people, they all think they're better than
you.
So here's the funny this is a clip as I didn't want to play
the Vera tosk thing with a guy who talks like therefore, I
don't like the that whole the way they're doing these voices.
I did like this document read about Google Google's really,
you know, this whole area. It's not anything that you can blame
on tech. It's really the Bay Area. I'm
missing some information you're talking about. They're talking
about the whistleblower the Google whistleblower from very
sad, but they read this document just fun Google.
Okay, it's new. All right. Please join Google to remove ads
from breitbart.com. It is dated March 23 2017. Quote, I'm sure
most of you are aware of the extreme sexism that articles and
comments on Breitbart disseminates. For this and many
other reasons. My colleagues and I have drafted an internal
letter to leadership asking them to end Google's business
relationship with Breitbart. 1100 86 Googlers have cosign the
letter Okay,
so there I was, I was listening to this and I never heard that
dead dead. Whistleblower guy which I gummed up taping him.
I'm thinking, What is wrong with these people? I mean, do they
know anything about the internet? Are they too young to
remember the good old days? Or? Oh, there's a sexist comment on
Breitbart. There's sexist comments everywhere. If you
leave the comment channel open up, you know, that's not what I
mean. Come on. You know what this is about. But these guys
are just upset about everything. Not Hillary. It's
about the plot. It's about D platforming. It's about getting
this as Media Matters, sleeping giants. By the way, one of our
producers took that whistleblower with the phony
baloney voice. And it wasn't even I thought it was a vocoder,
which is a it's a way of digitizing a voice so you can
make it sound very, very different. They just spun it
down. 5% he spun it up for us. This is just some millennial
guy. facts that you can interpret any way you see.
That's it. So the things that changed was that the TJs they
stopped
for some reason them this is just one channel only. I know
you're hearing it but I don't think the stream hears it. Be
it's just a regular millennial kids at
YouTube, they have the same talks by the CEO, Susan. And
then this is so poorly done that I think I'm doubting this even
more now this whistleblower if you want to be kept
confidential, all they did is just spin your voice down 5% You
can hear exactly who he is when you spin it up. 5% kind of
whistleblowers that are what kind of protection is Veritas
giving him?
Well, that's pretty lame.
It's extremely lame. Yeah, but this is just this is just more
of the same just it's a fight. It's an ongoing fight to remove
people. Bitcoin has been doing interest as Ben had actually has
had interesting moves whenever and this is the way I've been
tracking it. Whenever there's talk of the Federal Reserve,
maybe even maybe we won't cut rates maybe it'll be less than
you expected. Boom, the thing goes up, it was up to over
13,000 Yesterday, this morning, the the Fed notes were I guess
what they called dovish, which means that yeah, we probably
will might cut that right anyway, boom, Bitcoin goes down.
So it seems that at least at these levels, it may be a hedge
for some, for some investors like okay, if the interest rates
are going to go up, we're going to put it into Bitcoin because
at least that as a set interest rate schedule. This is
disturbing. The elites in the banking community on deck to
become the new head of the European Central Bank is Fifi
Lagarde, also known as Madame Christine Lagarde, foremost
currently still of the International Monetary Fund. And
she was asked about it about well, she was asked about
cryptocurrencies. And notice she won't mentioned Bitcoin by name.
One of the main topics up there was cryptocurrencies and all
sorts of companies now getting into this effort, not least
among them, Facebook, what kind of threat does this pose to the
traditional banking system? Well,
I think it's you have incumbents, the banks,
commercial banks, and you have the disruptors. And clearly the
disruptors are having an impact on the incumbents, we just heard
a very large systemic bank here are saying that they're
launching the digital coin, currently piloted in a way
within the institutional times, but to be scaled beyond that. We
heard from the European Central Bank that they are, they have
launched in November, something that is called tips, that
enables all the banks in the Eurozone to actually transfer
instantly at virtually no cost money between them. So I think
the role of the disruptors and anything that is using
distributed ledger technology, whether you call it crypto
assets, currencies, or whatever, and it's far from the Bitcoins
that we used to talk about a year ago, that is clearly
shaking the system. The voice that we heard, which was I
thought really interesting, were those of the regulators and
central bank governors who said, Well, yes, this is good. And
this is helpful. And it is changing the business model of
commercial banks. But we have to be mindful of two things, trust
and stability of the system. And we are equally concerned we at
the IMF about stability, we don't want innovation that would
shake the system so much that we would lose the stability that is
needed
and our regulators and doing enough right now to ensure that
stability and as well competition from some of these
big tech companies being involved in this space. You
know,
I think they're mindful of wherever the competition is
coming from. The central bank governor of Kenya was explaining
to us that they gave a banking license to a telecom company.
And I think in the future, we have to look at what lots of
data collectors and movers are going to do and whether they're
going to move into the banking space forcefully in which case
they will have to be regulated. They will Have to be held
accountable so that they can be fully trusted.
There you go. It looks like the lines are being marked Facebook,
we're going to have to regulate you. The banks are going to do
complete cashless society. Hey, this is little irritating this
bitcoins thing. Just those are disruptors. I think they're a
little worried about this, especially since the end near
the Iranian special purpose vehicle instex That was supposed
to enable European countries to trade or to Yeah, to purchase
oil from Iran. But Ron's like, Yeah, that's really great. But
if you guys don't have any, any credit behind it, if it's just,
you know, some stupid mechanism, we're not going to do that.
We're not going to trust you like that. So this thing is now
off the table. They can't get up and running, because they won't
put any money behind it.
Now, you're asking for trouble if they do anything. True.
We, we do not give stock advice on this show. That's not what we
do. But it was interesting that we were talking about SNAP about
a week ago. Because we heard so many executives in con talking
about how they thought it was a good competitor to Facebook and,
and Google and Twitter and they were putting money into it.
Well, that stock kind of took off. Interestingly. Yeah. And,
again, read between the lines.
Yeah. So it's all just to show you how valuable our show can be
to people who understand information. Here's something
else and I just thought was interesting. This is in southern
Utah. All right, so this is out right here. There's a bag on it.
This one's out also in BV.
And this guy is lb. property. You own it all. So it's Tesla
telling you to put the bags on here? No, but they're not they
haven't paid me rent since November of last year.
This guy is putting big burlap bags over the superchargers on
his property.
They're supposed to be paying me rent burry Georgia station. They
have paid me nothing. So you're gonna they will not answer my
email. They won't answer my phone call. They will do nothing
going there for nobody's charging on him until they start
paying me what they owe me. So I'm charging on that one over
there. You get it back those things up soon, too. I will
eventually. All right,
let's the supercharger. I'm sorry. Oh, the supercharger for
the Tesla.
Yeah, the charging is what this guy has all these charging
stations on his property, and they just don't pay him rent.
That's odd. That's like the one thing you really need to have
kind of functioning for people to believe in your idea. And
this guy is shutting them down.
Wow.
That's an interesting story.
Maybe something you talked to Horowitz about? I don't know.
It could be just a fluke. Maybe somebody got fired. Who knows?
Anything's possible. Well, that ladies and gentlemen ends our
deconstruction for today. Remember, we do have another
show coming up on Sunday. Divorce act.org/na is where you
