yak yak yak yak yak. Adam curry
Jhansi Devorah is Thursday July 18 2019. This is your award
winning give nation media assassination episode 1156.
This is no agenda,
practicing my yoga skills and broadcasting live from the
frontier of Austin, Texas couple of Thrones star state in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
every northern Silicon Valley where it's cold and the traffic
is slow. And Jhansi Dvorak,
Raglan Buzzkill.
shorter than normal. You okay. Did you have your caffeine this
morning?
That's fine. All right.
What you've been up to? What? What you've been up to?
Nothing prepared prepping for this no agenda show.
Yeah, me too. Me too. Did you see the President's speech
yesterday?
The one that North Carolina Yeah. No.
Oh my god. Well, it's
just he I know he's got some new material. Yeah.
That's why we tune in. We usually watch you know, we watch
combo before seven of MSNBC, CNN then you will probably watch
Tucker Carlson at seven. No way. Not when Trump's on. I just
switched to YouTube. That was fantastic. He literally comes in
and says I got nothing better to do tonight than be here. So you
know, you just know what's gonna roll. But the best. The best was
this
beautiful baby. Look at that. Wow, what a baby. A baby. That
is a beautiful baby. That's like from an advertisement. Perfect.
Look how happy that baby is. So beautiful. Thank you, darling.
That's really nice.
So someone's holding up their baby, obviously, in the front.
But what Trump didn't see is on the back of this baby's little
jumper was a huge cue to Twitter pretty much broke for a moment.
That's the cue baby was held aloft.
debate the baby had a cue as bad a
big letter Q troll or not. It was funny. Man was real. And I
don't think Trump knew it.
I'm sure he didn't.
Yeah, it was just funny. It was very good. So that's what I did.
It's only an hour of your time. I wanted to go it was an hour
and a half. It's always an hour now but it's an hour. hour and a
half. hour and a half.
Yeah. Well, he had to go through the the squad he had to vilify
each and every one of them was was pretty funny. Yeah.
We tape Jake Tapper did a bit on his show on CNBC, where he
described the spectacle between Trump and the squad as a as
Trump trolling the Democratic Party and and the Trump haters
by making the squad the party frontispiece Yeah, of the party.
Yeah, I think that bait was taken pretty much
the bait was not only taken but if you read the the multiple yo
by the way, Twitter's never supposed to be used for putting
together 12 comments ran ran out, I went to the other
threads.
Oh, you don't like the threads? I think that was actually one of
the better parts of Twitter well
that you'd go to a blog. True. So go read the New York Times. I
mean, there's ways of doing it but so anyway, so he does this
thing through and then he gets blasted by the people would
normally be worshipping him. Oh, for being you know, this is new
way Trump's not that smart. He's a big dummy. There's no way he's
doing anything. So they go on and on and and there's people
commenting on tappers thesis is actually funnier. And it's just
like they they're just not possible to do the incorrect but
they're these people are out of control. And
it's really interesting, because we're Twitter is just actually
yeah, I think you're right, it's it's out of control. I got a lot
of hate tweets after our Epstein segment. Remember, we were anti
semitic just for bringing it up. Do you know even though it was
Steve pathetic? Oh, that's why the genic said it would happen.
Yeah. So imagine you ever get these? No, but you know, they
can't spell your name. They can't figure out where to get
you with a plus. It's a big Adam curry. It's so easy to do easy.
But interestingly, you know, the, I know agenda social.com
The fediverse The Federation is actually pretty calm. And even
with the the onboarding, let's put it like that, of gab.com.
And it's a very weird experience actually, in the late 90s, early
2000s, we were we were still building out the network and we
had peering agreements. And if you couldn't pier with, with a
certain network, then you because your traffic was too
low, or, you know, there was out of balance, and you had to buy
what is called transit to still get to that network. And this
was really the, the, the architecture of the network
itself. And it feels a bit like that, where all of a sudden,
just, you know, this new network shows up and, and you know, the
people over there on Gab, you know, then they're communicating
to no agenda social.com It's a It's hard to explain, but it
feels oddly comfortable how these things, just new new
stuff, new people show up every single day. And this meant I
think minds.com is now saying that they're going to federate.
I think they have there must have been a million people
is another there's a couple others that could do it too.
Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
I'm enjoying the future, my friend, you can stay on that
little Twitter. Twitter is going to be dwarfed pretty soon unless
they federate. I still think Jack Dorsey is smart enough to
do it.
If he did, he might be able to dominate.
I think so. I think yeah, you know, because everyone, what
everyone argues about on this is we're talking about Mastodon,
the open source, you know, the federated network of servers,
Mastodon, what everybody complains about is the
interface, you know, that's why you have Pleroma you got pixel
in all these different versions of it. And there's some video
specific sites that are also federating. Twitter can just be
its own its own interface. It's it feels so much like the AOL
days Twitter is now AOL
that didn't like those good old days, Twitter. Twitter is
America. I wish AOL was still dominating this and key word, no
agenda.
And then they open up you know, like, you could click on a
special button and all there was a web browser. Oh, my goodness,
and I can look at the internet. And then before you knew it,
everyone's like, Oh, it's dangerous stuff over there.
That's where I want to be. Don't be on this safe. Keyword
business. That don't tell Jack That's That's what's going to
happen. But I think you should still give it a go. You know,
the lot of people made a lot of money with America Online.
Yeah, yeah.
Have they sold it five times? What was the guy's name? He was
our board member Ted. Ted. Ted. Ted was the who owns the hockey
team. Now in yawns, leonsis. Ted leonsis? Exactly. That guy made
some money off of AOL
Well, Steve Case made some money too.
Yeah. I remember Steve. Steve Case Ted tried to buy my first
company. I should have sold it to him. Yes, you're right. It's
all gonna be in the book. Remember that when I didn't sell
it to Steve Case? Oh, well.
Should well you're not at least you're not in the same league as
point cast. My favorite. That was so
cool. Hey, the network's down. So hey, turn off point cast
everybody the bandwidth
and the other one the other one another flop, but was Friendster
you know pro everything for children networks, and they
couldn't quite bring themselves to sell out. Fools. How much you
there's like a 10 million but you could be making you have
like, will you have a half a million? You have $50 million in
your pocket? And a bunch of stock?
Yeah, why? Why do that? That'd be crazy. Oh, well.
Spent by? Yeah, I
heard it. Actually. I did. Yeah, I did. I got a number of C span
things that I watched. But first. You played a pretty funny
joke on me on the last episode, where you told me I was
listening to Kamala Harris. And there was a lie. Lies because it
was Marianne Williamson who right away just launched into
the wait, actually, I should see if I have that clip. You know,
what was what was it was probably called Kamala Harris.
Yeah. Catalyst. Brother.
Let me see. Played that clip. Because I mean, you have you go
on for a second camera in South Carolina or on a roll quiz on a
roll. Here we go. This is what you played. And it wasn't Kamla
Harris. It was Marianne Williamson, also a Democratic
candidate for the nomination. I want
the real thing ladies and gentlemen, not just superficial
things. I want a Department of Children and Youth. I don't want
to just talk about Medicare for All although we need it. We need
to talk about the chemical policies and the environmental
policies and the food policies and the agricultural policies
that are making us so sick. And I don't just want to talk about
race based policies. Because if you're just talking about race
based policies you're leaving open. The question is whose
fault that is. We need reparations. And we need
reparations. Because reparations do more than pay money. They are
spiritual power. They are men inherent Mayor culpa, they are
an acknowledgment of a wrong that has been done a debt that
is owed and a willingness to pay it. And in addition to that,
ladies and gentlemen, we need to do more than just endlessly
prepare for war. And we need to do more than just say things
like, we need to bring the boys home, we need to challenge the
underlying forces that make all this darkness inevitable. We
need to challenge the military industrial complex, we need to
talk about war as to big business. We need a department
of peace,
by the way, that was the tip off the military industrial complex.
Okay, so
wait, wait, you can't play that without playing Camelus clip
these Institute, South Carolina Oh, just to
give you the contract I can't listen to it. So I'm thinking,
you know, this is reparations. Like, I gotta check out the
check this Camela Marianne Williamson with the ADOS
community with the American descendants of slavery. And
there was one other video that came out on show day, and so I
sent No, I figured he had listened to it. But then I also
sent this next clip of Marianne Williamson to produce her Mo,
because he now this is my one black friend. And he always
tells it to me straight and I was curious, like I, what do you
think about is she a possible candidate. And I added to that
this interesting session Marianne Williamson did at the
Unity Church in Houston, which is a pyramid. I'm not quite sure
what denomination this church is. But this is what she was
doing. So
to the African Americans in the room, who would wish and be
willing to participate in this, please stand up. And now I'd
like to ask white Americans who are sitting near you to please
stand up. And if the African American citizen would would be
willing to allow a white American who wishes to apologize
to you and take part in this to hold your hands. And now as I,
as I speak, I'm going to ask the White Americans in the room to
please repeat after me, on behalf of myself, and on behalf
of my country. To you and all African Americans
from the beginning of our nation's history
in honor of your ancestors,
and on behalf of your children please hear this from my heart.
I apologize. Please forgive us.
So this goes on for about 15 minutes. And so it's a whole
bunch. It's in the church, a whole bunch of white people
touching the black person next to them. And I understand the
idea I see where she's coming from until this part of the
little the little ceremony please
accept my apology this night. It is for you and for your
grandparents and their grandparents before them and
their grandparents before them. Made the screams that we're not
allowed be allowed now.
Right. So this is her screaming No.
This is someone one of the congregation and Moe calls me
says black people will never vote for this woman. This is
like Kundalini yoga yoga. He says this is speaking in tongues
black people run away from this shit. He says she will never
ever, ever get anywhere near the black vote with this.
And it's right in the car. ASOs, which I believe there has to be
some connection here. The Pentecostals are all into this
stuff. But even in the black Pentecostal churches talking in
tongues thing showed up in the early 1900s When some preacher
that was having had a failing congregation a Pentecostal,
introduced it to the lexicon and started doing it and it just
packed him in. Always whites. No, you haven't seen blacks go
for this talking in tungsten ever. And I watch a lot of
church sermons as a form of judges, white entertainers,
entertaining entertainment, and blacks to have their own
technique for riling up the crowd. But talking in tongues is
not not one of and so mo goes on. He says, Did you have no
idea? Even Kundalini Yoga, which includes the screaming very
similar to this? He said, No, it is seen as the devil it is seen
as witchcraft voodoo.
In fact, he says like voodoo the way it was being done there.
The reason why Oprah is now distancing herself from Marianne
Williamson, is because she learned from the past, she made
a huge mistake. This is it. This is I think, maybe 1520 years
ago,
well, I am a Christian who believes that there are there
are certainly many more paths to God other than Christianity. I'm
a free thinking Christian who believes in my way, but I don't
believe that it's the only way what I believe is that Jesus
came to show us Christ consciousness.
So if you're not 100%, kind of on board with the original
Christianity vibe, it's black people do not like it. In fact,
he said that when the rumors came out about Hillary Clinton
and the spirit cooking, you remember that? He said, that
really turned off a huge portion of black America. Like, even if
we had just the rumor was enough. Don't want not don't
want and if you look at the hip hoppers rappers, they always
have a cross on they called Jesus pieces, you know, they got
all their religious gear, cuz you got to you got to have all
of that otherwise you just won't be accepted. So we can you could
put that on your list of marriage even though we don't
think she had a chance. Marianne Williamson? Definitely,
definitely not going
to candles. chanson
I was yes, very funny. I thought for a moment maybe but no, no,
no. And that's a little nutty man
and yelling stuff so who did was it as plant in the audience? It
was doing the screaming
No, no, this is it. Remember the Unity Church? You go look at
this thing. It's a pyramid. You know, there's no denomination
doesn't really explain what kind of church it is.
So it's one of them. They knew somebody was screaming. Yeah,
one of the congregation actually, two people started
screaming. So I'm asking you think because I've seen this
happen. And no,
no, no, no, no. It was meant to be it was. Yeah, it was planted.
Not against her rip did not against her.
No. is planning for her as part of her bid.
Oh, of course. That's what you mean. Yes. Of course. Part of
the show. Yeah. It's part of the show. Yeah. So yeah. Anyway,
she walked right into the next line. It wasn't like it was
something that was startled her.
No in fact, she was in the back of the of the church and she
just slowly walked forward and put her arms around the woman.
Okay, everybody's good. Fantastic.
What a crock of crap. Nice to see a screamer. I mean, she
could get voice acting work if she you know, it
was a fantastic scream. I expect that to be in an indoor show mix
somewhere.
Yeah. Not not by itself. It's not a solo.
No, no, it has to be incorporated. So that's my 2020
news. I think. I don't think I have anything else for the US.
Oh, except for the Biden Gaff.
Oh, I didn't get the Biden Yes.
No, here it is. Where is it? Put it got to put it in the player
for I want
to apologize for deportations and in fact, you're deported
because in fact, you're engaged in a misdemeanor and or your
family was separated. family separation.
That's the one I had decimal clip I had last show that I
didn't put that part in because I thought it was it was not as
germane as the rest of the clip which is nuttier.
Well, by standalone clip. It's I think it's pretty decent. Yeah,
no, I probably should have done it. It just shows that you know,
he's got he's, Joe's got same problems Trump has except
Trump's President Joe's fighting for it. So it's going to be
interesting to old guys.
I do have a few things. They have a couple of series of
clips. Okay. And different. I have some of the opening of the
squad. Okay for women that decided to become their own own
broad group and they're going to be floating around as the squad
and Omar, we start to discover she can't pronounce her Rs very
well.
Yeah and also she she can't say Patriot she has paid to yet
that's because there's an R and she has she can't she can't say
Patriot she
was she would be the type of person who would say would be or
that she's
oops would be. Let's laugh about speech impediments. Nice. Okay,
no
she didn't but what you just brought the gap up. So that's
what led me into this because she had interesting gaff, see if
you can pick this up. This is the Omar quotes
as Martin Luther King.
Right there. I heard it the first time, Marcin, it's
Maurice. It's Martin Luther King Martin. Martin, Martin Luther
King, as Martin
Luther King said. All we say to America is be true to what you
say on paper. I believe this is a pivotal moment in our country.
Sometimes she What did that what does that mean? It's a pivotal
moment in our country. But what she says
we had Mark Martin Luther King said Be true to what you put on
paper or something. I mean, play that whole clip again.
I love our government, as Martin Luther King said, All we say to
America is be true to what you say on paper. I believe this is
a pivotal moment in our country. All I
heard was pivotal. And I forgot everything. For everything else.
The problem with Omar, she's beautiful. You just look at why
do I dislike you but she is a really pretty.
She would be a model in Italy. It looks like she's a little too
short. But she has. She has gorgeous features. Yes out about
Yes, yes. Let's play her I got three clips from her. But the
thing that bothers me is he brings out all and I had to
upgrade the Trump rotation.
No boy, we have an addition. Yes, I
there's two that were left out. One. Now this is children in
cages, Trump rotation.com. Everybody, Trump rotation.com. I
had to add puts rotation puts rotation Hello. It's difficult
in cages. And the second one was once the separate families
somebody wants Yes, Trump is really see Trump you're seeing a
guy who wants to separate Wait a minute, didn't we have a
separate family? Oh, wait
a minute. Isn't rips babies from mother's arms already on the
rotation?
No. Rips babies for mother's arms is maybe another one. I
should put I should put a slash ribs here because that's
actually an extension.
They're both the same rips. Yes. Yes. Yes.
So let's play Omar to it because he's now we start to hear the
kinds of these memes that the Democrats are relying on to get
people worked up and one of them is just outrageous.
Right now the president is carrying out mass deportation
raids across this country in each one of our districts. Right
now. The President is committing human rights abuses at the
border, keeping children in cages and having human beings
drinking out of toilets.
forces people to drink out of toilets.
Now this is they've been so debunked. Yeah. And maybe we
should repeat what it is what they're talking about. The
various agencies in some prisons have discovered found to this
some company that makes a toilet that is also a sink. And a
drinking fountain. It's all part of his giant stainless steel one
device. This is floor.
It's a floor wax and a dessert topping and one.
Yeah, it's like it's a it's actually a pretty efficient
looking thing. It's got a toilet at the bottom, then it's got and
then it extends up to a sink where you wash your hands and
then and then on the sink. I believe there's a drinking
fountain. But drinking from that is not drinking out of toilets.
But that's what you're doing to promote, which is okay if you
want to be a liar. But then nobody seems to care about them
lying. Okay, let's go with her third comment that I clipped.
This is
the President who has called Black people who come from black
and brown countries shitholes
Black and Brown
said here is that the President is calling the people yeah
shitholes that come from black and brown countries. This Those
people he's calling them shitholes.
Yeah, let's just listen to it again to make sure that's what
she said.
This is a president who has called Black people who come
from black and brown countries. shithole?
Yes. Rich. I mean, how come this is like, this is gold comedy
gold from this woman. I don't understand why people aren't
paying more attention to Oh, she's so right. Oh, she's, he
told her to go back to her home.
I mean, and for those outside of the country, this is this is
quite the quite the news story here. The distraction of the
week, although set up that way by the president that for the
reasons you mentioned, to make the whole democratic party look
nutty.
You know, this, the Democrats had, they're, they're kind of
caught in between they're having to defend these people, these
four women specifically, who are haters, let's just start with
that premise. One of them and then one from Washington state
is just a horrible person. And all of them are pretty, pretty
rotten. And but they gotta defend him because their fellow
Democrats, and nobody, you know, they're just there. They've been
had is the way I see it by Trump, and they don't seem to
they kind of know it, but they can't do anything about it. It's
very strange to watch this because
I also saw a little bit of posturing and infighting, just
just body language. When a question was asked and AOC or as
the president now says, Cortez gotta should have clipped that
it forgot about it. He'd last night says Alexandria, Ocasio
Cortez, Cortez, Cortez. It's just too long. It's too long. I
can't say the whole name. I'm just calling it a court. That's
Cortez AOC wanted to answer the question and Omar jumped in and
physically pushed her away. Oop, was to away. Omar pushed AOC
aside to answer the question. It was just the body language
thing. But I was an AOC. She looked nervous to AOC didn't
seem like she was very comfortable with the whole four
horsemen of the horsewomen of the apocalypse on stage.
She seemed that I watched that whole thing. I guess I didn't
pick up on the push aside thing. But even I don't think she was
prepared for it. I don't think she's uncomfortable necessarily
with being part of this group. Because I think her chief of
staff the guy who's running everything that social justice
warrior guy.
Yeah, the justice. Democrats. Yes. Sorry,
Justice Democrats. I'm gonna get these mixed up. So I don't know
if that's something to watch. For sure. It could be end up as
the squad could only be three. She bails?
No, that's doubtful. She has no say in the matter. She's, she is
she's just doing what she's told. Yeah, pretty much. And I'm
sad about it, because I thought, oh, man, you remember, I was the
kind
of title you're jacked up.
You know, that's your interpretation. But I thought
she was very interesting. I liked her a lot. I liked how she
just the whole package was perfect. And but she falls apart
all the time. She just can't do it.
She's done me.
I don't like people calling people stupid or dumb.
Yeah, I know. You don't. But yeah. She's not the brightest
bulb in the pack. Let's talk about the impeachment attempt
and send the other thing which was calling out Trump for saying
being a racist. Prick.
Yeah. This is another interest. It's Al Green, who has been
trying to file articles of impeachment and get a vote on
the floor for at least a year. Maybe longer?
No, no, no. Right from the get go. Okay. Long As You know why.
Right. So this Trump's took office. I think
you're right, yeah. And articles of impeachment, which can be on
high crime, high crimes and misdemeanor. Not really for
being racist. I don't think it's not a it's not great look. But I
don't think you can be impeached for it and you know,
Al Green, you can well, he says that being a racist is a high
crime or a misdemeanor.
Even Pelosi hated and one of the Pelosi had to say that the
President wasn't racist. She said he said something racist,
which I also checked with Moe and he laughed to. People don't
think that's racist. Racism. We're laughing Do you want us to
leave well, then the economy will collapse. Good point.
Let's listen to well let's do the impeachment thing here. I've
got
well, I just want to explain one extra thing for people, even
people in the United States there's still many things. You
have a hearing you say impeach. didn't you vote in this majority
vote and the President's gone? And no, that's not how it works
is the only body that can remove the president is the Senate in
this in this process to end there's there's no way they have
the votes.
They have they send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate,
the Senate has to vote him out. Right. And to make it more
difficult, they have to vote him out by 75% of the vote. Yeah, by
a huge majority. So that likelihood, I mean, the guy has
to really be a complete screw up. You I mean, I don't know
what you'd have to get to, to get to that point. So this is
just all showboating. Yeah. Because they know there's no us
not even closed again. It's not impeachable. Yeah.
But, okay, so I'm waiting for your clips. Yeah.
I gotta give a CBS versus NBC. Okay, let's talk about CBS for a
second. Norah O'Donnell finally came in. Now we're gonna I'm
gonna put on my executive hat because it's gonna be
okay. How did she look? Let's do it. And she was like, No, that's
I'm
horrible things that I do on this show. Now, Nora comes in
Mimi's here and she's watching it when she does her first
dresses. Oh my god. And she goes nuts. She thinks why is this
woman the I told she's the anchor. What? What happened to
the other guy. And so Nora comes on. And I noticed and she's got
her normal morning show hairdo and the whole thing. She comes
on and, and it's immediate ly obvious what the problem is.
When you see her. She has unbelievably dead eyes.
Who is this something new from Nora?
You know, I think she may have in the morning show. They have a
little little differently. They don't. They don't have just
focus on her head. And it may not be I mean, she's usually
either glowering on the morning show at somebody as a
Republican. I'd never noticed the dead eyes before, right. It
could be the situation where she arises have to die. Or maybe
they gave her a drug. I have no idea. But you it's so
noticeable. And so you look at it. And of course, her ratings
plummeted way below Jeff Glor already. So CBS you know, is
having meetings like something like what we're talking about.
And so this was they got a problem with her. So the next
day she comes on and she does a remote report in the wind so she
Your eyes are squinty and you can't really see other days. And
you can't and they got her made up differently. We're JC is in
the house. And he looks is is that is that? And he's thinking
it's some sort of a deep fake because the face looks fake,
because of the makeup. And I'm saying no. And then the worst
part is they put her into kind of a man's shirt and they
clipped her hair off and gave her a pixie cut.
Is there a video or photographic evidence of this bad look?
He took one of the sheets I took a shot and I'm gonna put in the
next newsletter what I thought was the worst and then she was
glowering because it was they started everybody else started
off with all kinds of stories about the weather and and then
Epstein and one thing or another but no no she made sure because
you know editor the anchor of a news hour is typically the
editor in chief and so she started off the whole thing and
the whole beginning of the show is about the border crisis right
and and she had the guy was the head temporary Head of the
Department of Homeland Security and he seems like a nice guys
answered the questions the right way. And she's given him the
stink guy he's been
on almost every show and I think he's handled himself very well
under attack very,
very slick. And she's given them the glower and then they could
cut back to her in the field that wind blowing on her and her
eyes kind of squinting and she's just got to she's got as the
look on her face like she smelled the world's worst fart.
It glowering or glowering.
I think it's glower I could be wrong, but look it up. And
whatever the case she's got this stench in the air look on her
face and their eyes were squinted in this she got a pixie
haircut. She looks like a dude.
There it is. Okay. You've set it up for us. All right. And then
well, and then I mean, I'm waiting for the overnights. I
mean, that was just yesterday. Every time she's come on,
apparently the first night. They decided they got to fix
something. And so they've they've started to screw with
it. I think she's I began to think this dude for today's
show. I'm almost thinking they set her
up to fail. So they really want to get her out now.
I think they may have always wanted to get her out. She's,
she stands in the way. I mean, you have to remember that the
CBS has become a good boy. Good old boys operation ever since
Les Moonves was there and and he loaded the place up with his
friends. They can't like this woman. And she bothers you
hadn't heard I hopes to becoming an anchor. So okay you want to
be anchor babe, we'll put you up we'll put you up did put her up
there the everything is wrong. Then a clip her hair off just
off. And I think they set her up to fail. She's not going to be
there for more than two months.
Okay, put it in the Red Book. So they cut this hair off into a
pixie cut them just looking at Oh man, that's horrible. I gotta
see this pixie cut hair.
I have a copy of that. Do you have to destroy I don't have any
handy they send now. But it's like, it's possible is not a
pixie cut. But it's a tight, pulled back.
I see it now. Oh, yeah, it completely ruins her face. She
looks like Kathie Lee.
She looks terrible. All right. Let's play the clip. Oh, anyway,
but this stuff is not expressed as much in this clip. But
there's a little bit of it in here of her kind of she really
is a negative influence on the network in terms of the way she
puts it. Puts it the way she presents. The news is she's not
gonna I'm telling I'm not gonna set up. I don't blame her at all
impeachment. CBS,
Donald John Trump President of the United States is unfit to be
president.
It was a test vote of sorts on the appetite for impeachment.
And it turns out the hunger is low. No, I
think we'll get rid of all this right now. More than
half of House Democrats joined all Republicans to table the
idea for now.
I do think I'm winning the political fight. I think I'm
winning it by a lot.
Texas Democrat Al Green forced the vote by introducing an
impeachment resolution. It says the President's racist comments
this week suggesting those who may look to the president like
immigrants should go back to other countries qualify as high
misdemeanors. If you did what the President has done, you
would be punished. The President was referring to these four
Democratic Congress women who spoke to Gayle kings.
So what is the point of
this? So Al Green, and they both NBC had the same clip, different
forms, but Al Green says if you did something like this, you'd
be punished really? Well, you have to wash them off. Been on
Twitter?
I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, you could, nobody's gonna get punished for saying,
you know, I guess, Senator, back to Somalia or Sudan or wherever
she's from. Anyway,
go on. Look to the president, like immigrants should go back
to other countries qualify as high misdemeanors. If you did
what the President has done, you would be punished. The President
was referring to these four Democratic Congress women was
who spoke to Gail kings.
So what is the point of going through the exercise of
impeachment? When it doesn't look like it will go anywhere.
The Watergate class
didn't have the votes in the Senate side. They didn't
function from that place. They function and putting the country
first,
but Democratic leaders prefer to wait. And for now, most party
members appear to be with them.
We have six committees that are working on following the facts
in terms of any abuse of power, obstruction of justice and the
rest that the President may have engaged in.
The President's arriving in North Carolina for a rally
tonight called the results of this vote overwhelming and said,
that's the end of it. But with special counsel Robert Muller
set to testify next week, Nora, this wasn't the end of anything.
Oh, God, I'm so tired of this. Muller All right. You know, all
he's gonna say is all he's gonna say is no agenda is the best
podcast in the universe. I mean, he said stick to the report. So
we know that that's in there.
Oh, that's in there. Yeah. Now digging contrast that with NBC,
CBS is, you know, I don't know what they're thinking what
they're up to or anything at this point. And the Nora thing
is just baffling. It's as obvious as some wanting to get
rid of her and this is one way of doing you send somebody
upstairs. So the point of incompetency, and it just didn't
screw with them make them nervous. I mean, it doesn't take
a lot if you're in broadcasting. To have every to be surrounded
by people telling everyone telling you you're doing it
wrong. You're no good. That's pretty much
what broadcasting is that right podcasting Eve Are you kidding
me? Podcast, you didn't do that? You baggage you didn't handle
you didn't say that?
Put a time code down. It's a possibility possible. Let's go
with him. Here's the rundown on NBC.
No impeachment for now as the very vote Democratic leaders had
hoped to avoid is forced to the forefront by a single lawmaker,
Congressman Al Green of Texas. He's arguing the President's
racist attack on four freshmen lawmakers telling them to go
back to their home countries has demonstrated that Donald Trump
is unfit to be president.
today. We take up punishment. I will vote to impeach him. If you
did what the President has done, you wouldn't be punished.
The Greens motion was effectively killed for now in a
vote late today
on this vote the yeas are 332.
That's because despite pressure from more than a third of her
caucus House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has opposed impeachment
concerned it distracts from Democrats policies, she prefers
to proceed with a series of congressional investigations.
That is the serious path that we are on. Not that Mr. Green is
not serious, but I'll deal with that on the floor.
The president today unfazed. Do you think you're winning this
political fight?
I do think I'm winning to fly but I think I'm winning it by a
lot. Why I think that they are not espousing the views of our
country, the for Congress, women. I'm not relishing the
fight. I'm enjoying it because I have to get the word out to the
American people. And you have to enjoy what you do.
Now another escalation tonight. Attorney General William Barr
and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross voted in criminal contempt
of Congress and extraordinary move by Democrats frustrated
with the White House's refusal to comply with subpoenas about a
controversial citizenship question on the 2020 census. And
late tonight we are hearing from the President about that
impeachment vote ahead of his rally in North Carolina. He's
calling it a ridiculous project, saying it's time for Democrats
to get back to work.
I always say every country gets the government deserves and
we're really not really getting that here. We really are. I
mean, from all sides, it's tiring. It's dumb. It's
childish. Unfortunately, it's how American politics works.
You know, discredit this credit, its incompetent, discredit,
call them a racist column that it's just back and forth. And
it's, it's been that way forever. It's just now it's
amplified because of social media and the internet in
general, more news channels. They were calling George W. Bush
a racist and calling everybody the Antichrist, the Antichrist.
Well, he might have been that. But like, that's what we do.
That's what we do in our politics. And it's sad and I
think it's a bit embarrassing. Honestly,
usually you think to no agenda shows you just drop anything
that's political. Not discuss. Not at all in legalization of
dope.
No, I do have some things to discuss. But yeah, I get this 24
hours a day. This this fight. I liked the Norah O'Donnell stuff
I like I like hearing that she's on the outs. I
mean, not that I like it for her. But what we don't know is
she said this is just my thesis,
but I'm all in I know how it works. And if you're giving
people remember, MTV fired me because I wouldn't cut my hair.
And I know because the minute I cut my hair, I would have been
out because it would have looked like a penis with a leather
jacket.
So now you had the right idea. Well, she obviously knuckled
under this hairdo. And, and the boy ended they put her in this.
She's like telling you the photo. I have a virtual running
in the next newsletter. She looks like a little boy. Like
she looks like no, she looks like a metrosexual guy from you
know, maybe a 20 year old. Gotcha. It's just terrible. I
mean, you just look. And you said what are they thinking? And
then you did that's when it dawned on me. I said, Oh, these
guys aren't stupid. They're just trying to screw with her.
So there were a couple of interesting oversight
committees. And so before I say that, just sticking with the
candidates. So I read the article, you know, the one that
I don't know about about Mayor Pete and everyone got all in a
half about that article. And then the article had to be
pulled and, and the only thing I learned and we talked about this
in the last show, by the way, the article was dull article was
dull and dumb, but what I learned is, as we know, in, in
certain circles, certain gay circles gay men. They have
nicknames so Elton John, famously, his his gay name is
Sharon. And yeah, there's a lot of these Mar Medina, I've heard
all kinds of stuff kind of like funny and it's campy. And from
this article, I learned that Mayor Pete's gay name is Mary.
It's Mary Pete, I thought that was that was the only thing of
Mary,
Mary, Mary Pete.
I don't think he's right for us to call him marry Pete. But it's
just, it's interesting to know, in the gay community, community,
whatever that is. amongst some boys, they call them marry. So
there were a couple of other interesting sessions. There was
a a censorship and Google session, which I liked, and the
one I thought was most interesting, particularly as it
pertains to being off the grid and as you know, it's what am I
going on two years now without a smartphone? I think it's about
almost two years, isn't it? It's been a while. Yeah. Let's just
call it two years. And
there's a there's seems like an eternity
there's a misunderstanding. A lot of people think well, you
can good track the government country. Yeah, of course. That's
not the issue. The issue is apps. The issue is the
information your phone has on you such as how you're holding
it, where you are, what location, you're at how often
you go there. browser history, and these apps have a lot of
permissions. I mean, remember, I
won't even let you use some of these apps. I wrote a whole
entire column about all the permissions that Google
navigator asks for they pretty much own you after you say yes
to the maps. Yeah. Well,
the whole Android platform is kind of a spying platform. And
when I say spying is is really
no your means spying. What that when I say spying, you mean
spying? You don't mean anything else? You're not meaning
anything else that we're like spying?
I don't mean the government is spying on you. I mean, the the
the, it really comes down to banking. That's what that's
that's, and this is what I want to talk about. So there was a
financial oversight committee, had a hearing, and they brought
in the one guy who is the Facebook representative for
Libra. This is the so called cryptocurrency that Facebook
wants to launch. And they had this big white paper and they
have, you know, 2728 different partners, and they want to do
digital money. And they launched it into a kind of disingenuous,
well, I don't know if there was them, but marketing is
everything. So the idea is, oh, this is a crypto and it's going
to be no it's not. It's a centralized token relay that
will represent. In fact, it's more like an ETF, an exchange
traded fund, that your money is going to be a part of, and it's
just it's, it's why and how and all of these things came up in
this session, and there were some good speakers and they had
did have some crypto experts. In fact, one young woman is a
Bitcoin expert. She has some interesting things to say. But
it all kind of kicked off before this session with a message from
the Secretary of the Treasury the man whose name is on the US
dollar Minuchin. Last month,
the Libra Association, a consortium of 28 businesses,
including a Facebook subsidiary, announced that it is developing
a crypto currency called the Libra. The Treasury Department
has expressed very serious concerns that Libra could be
misused by money launderers and terrorist financier crypto
currencies such as Bitcoin had been exploited to support
billions of dollars of illicit activity like cybercrime, tax
evasion, extortion, ransomware, illicit drugs, human
trafficking, many players have attempted to use
cryptocurrencies to fund their malign behavior. This is indeed
a national security issue. The United States has been at the
forefront of regulating entities that provide cryptocurrency, we
will not allow digital asset service providers to operate in
the shadows and will not tolerate the use of the
cryptocurrencies in support of illicit activities.
Now with that, Bitcoin actually took a pretty big, pretty big
nose dive after that announcement came out. And the
President reiterated that and it's starting to climb back up a
little bit since then, I think, also since this Facebook
hearing, because the guy didn't really do too. Well. Actually,
before we get to that, here's representative Patrick McHenry,
I think he's Republican from Florida or I want to say
Kentucky, and he was on CNBC trying to explain the difference
between a true the really the only true cryptocurrency
Bitcoin, and this, this, this fake me a ploy by Facebook to
come into this space and capture the attention and everybody's
money.
The question though, long term, do you think that regulators and
politicians like yourself will allow the emergence and the sort
of, of these of these new types of currencies, if they don't
look a lot like the regulations and guardrails that we currently
have around fiat currency and money? Well, I think there's no
capacity to kill Bitcoin, even the Chinese with their firewall,
in their extreme intervention, their society could not kill
Bitcoin. So a distributed ledger full and open that as in the
essence of Bitcoin as a first mover in this space, the
developer this technology of blockchain go this is a question
related to that because because Bitcoin has fallen in the last
point here is you can't kill Bitcoin, but new iterations of
this that are trying to mimic it that are not fully distributed
that are not fully open. There are different mechanisms to kill
it. You say you can't kill Bitcoin and to some degree, I
agree with you in some degree. I don't if you said right now that
Coinbase cannot accept it. As money from an American citizen
if you said that any of these wallets can accept money, you
would affect I'm not saying you shut down Bitcoin Bitcoin would
exist somewhere, and it would be sort of in a sort of a dark web
kind of situation. But it effectively would make it very,
very difficult for me for the mainstream to use it. Sure, but
I mean, how mainstream is that right now, if it ever gets
mainstream if ever gets to escape velocity? Does Congress
do regulators say, you know, what, actually, in the same way
that you're looking at LIBOR as closely as you are? And this is
going to happen at the g7 meeting as well? Do people say
you know, what, we can't have the Bitcoin will live in in in
the shadows, but it boy, it's not going to live in the
mainstream? And that's a question I think I have and I
think it's the question whether that that Bitcoin investors have
and that's why why the price of it has come down in the past
literally 48 hours you're talking about a something that
was a joke 10 years ago that people were giving away for free
not a joke, but people are giving away for free is now
trading at $10,000 if 21 million coins we on but the essence of
Bitcoin is what Libra and Facebook and corporates are
trying to mimic.
Okay, so you have kind of a background on what's going on.
And this is I don't want to we don't need to talk about the
validity of Bitcoin or not, even though I'm a maximalist. But
this so they get this hearing underway, and it was pretty much
we did expect a bunch of uninformed boobs sitting on the
day as asking stupid questions for hours on end. Even AOC
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was there with her obligatory nut
job question.
Currently, the Libra association is governed by Facebook, Uber,
eBay, Spotify, Visa, thrive, capital Union Square Ventures,
and a handful of nonprofits as well as some other partners.
Correct. It is correct. Were they democratically elected?
I mean, this is the kind of shit with a democratically elected,
do you know what's going on? Woman? No. There was one guy who
Wow. Yeah, there was a lot of that, actually, to leave was
chairing the committee for a while, which was also
interesting, and you'd nervous from trying to make it all
proper and cutting everybody off on time possible. There was one,
Congressman Davidson, I got to look up where he's from. And he
knows very well, what he's talking about. I think there's a
crypto caucus, actually, that must be Republicans, although
I'm not sure of the total makeup of it. But you know, there's
some people who do understand what's what they're talking
about. And one of the people there to testify as a woman
named Meltem De Niro's, and I think she's had a couple of
successful Bitcoin ventures and she definitely knows what she's
talking about. And they had a fun little back and forth talk
about Omar with her shitholes
highlight a lot of background information about about Bitcoin
and about the the, you know, immutable distributed ledger and
the benefits of that decentralization versus
centralization. You know, a lot of people in this space will use
a phrase that you may be familiar with, there's Bitcoin
and then their shit coin. Are you familiar with that phrase?
And what people might mean by that? I am. So could you
elaborate on how people would differentiate the two?
Absolutely. I think the idea here is, Bitcoin has had a long
track record. It the network has been operating for 10 years, the
Bitcoin network has been tested, the decentralized nature of the
Bitcoin protocol has been tested, people have tried to co
opt control of Bitcoin source code and push it in certain
directions that benefit their business models. And this
network and this protocol and its open source governance have
withstood that test,
is there a central authority that could dilute the value of
Bitcoin? No. Is there a central authority that could filter
transactions at Bitcoin?
Now, that can only be done through the products and
services that people utilize to access the network like
Coinbase, for example? Absolutely. That is a US company
that is regulated based on the facts of what its business model
is
with Bitcoin, you can still engage in peer to peer
transactions like cash, correct? Absolutely. And because open
source code, you could have a wallet, correct? Absolutely. All
these features are different than one many of the things that
people call colloquially shit coin.
I just love hearing that. Like, I like here and shit coin. I do.
It's been around for a long time. But finally it's reached
Congress. So the people are trying to understand what's
going on. And none of them have it right. And what's really
happening didn't actually come up. And so I wanted to try and
explain what I think is happening with the two clips
from a guy named Brett king. And he spoke last year at a bank at
Bankers conference in Germany, and he calls it bank 4.0. And
the whole idea Is to onboard to get people into banking without
any physical infrastructure, and to use the same type of tracking
that we've been talking about the spying, to suggest services
for you at the right moment. And of course, when we say services,
there's really only three services that banking provides,
I'm generalizing, but it's storing your money. So a place
to store the value that you have, and whatever money
whatever represents money, it's for transferring that to someone
else, or to purchase something. And credit and credit is the big
winner, you're not gonna get any credit from Bitcoin. This is
what Libra is ultimately, about. Libra is fighting, they're in a
fight, to become the competitor to really to Jack Maas and
finance. So in China, you have we pay and what's the other one
Alibaba pay, I guess, and pretty much 9096 or 97% of all
scientists agree that that's all the money is done through those
two payment systems. And that is where the social score comes
into play. And the social score is tied into these payment apps,
which I'm sure Facebook would love. Nothing more. That when
you have a totalitarian government, like the Chinese,
there's examples, I think, was in a vice documentary, where a
guy Jay walked in, facial recognition picked up that it
was him. And within 20 seconds, they deducted the fine straight
from his we pay, and he noticed that on his phone, and that's a
good turn, because he's not going to jaywalk anymore, but
it's obviously dystopian, and very creepy. But what this is
really about where the money is, is in credit, everybody lives
off of credit in America, for sure, but pretty much around the
world. And I think that the end game is to get you into as much,
I think has always been the game to get you into as much debt. So
give you as much credit as you can actually afford, and squeeze
it down. So you can just be just making those monthly payments,
because there's a lot of money, you can still squeeze out of
people. Here's this Brett King Guy, talking about an example of
how this what he calls contextual banking will work.
So when you start thinking about utility as it changes, banking
becomes highly contextual. And a great example of this might be
credit access for day to day banking, where I walk into a
grocery store, and I fill up my cart, and I fill it up, and I go
to the checkout. And then they swipe my card. And the cashier
says I'm sorry, sir. It's been declined. Yeah, some of your
customers may have had this problem. And so then you go
fishing for another card? Or let me give you this one. Can you
try this one? What about if we didn't think about that? As a
product based process? What about if you think when you walk
in the grocery store, if I know you don't have enough money to
do your grocery shopping, I present you with an offer for
credit access right there. And then to solve that problem, I
don't wait feeding it to the checkout. This is experiential
design of this. So then we come back to the role of advisors.
Because when it comes to financial services, we've had
this view predicated over the last 30 or 40 years that the
best way to get the best bang for your buck in investment
terms is you need to have a human involved. You need to get
that advice. But technology is also going to change the way we
think of advice in financial services. In fact, probably the
most common form of advice that customers will be faced with in
the future from financial services is just something as
simple as this. Hey, Siri, can I afford to go out for dinner
tonight.
So the the way the credit card companies work is very slow and
cumbersome to get to this point is why we need to have digital
money. So if you are getting close to your credit limit, but
you still pay on time, what you'll notice is the credit card
company says Oh, keep in such a good boy. We're gonna give you
an extra $10,000 credit, go ahead and go nuts. You can
afford it. It's all good. So they want this in real time. And
they're competing. I think a they're really worried about
Alibaba, Ali pay, which is run by ant financial as Jack Maas
company, but they're fighting against Google. And we'll get to
Google after this next clip. Apple is trying although Apple
doesn't seem to really have the whole all the pieces together.
Need a banker on board? Yes, the fastest
scaling financial services organizations in the world today
are digital that enables them to get the scale very, very
rapidly. And the biggest financial services organization
in the world by 2030 is going to be and financial as a result of
that, they're going to be worth twice what ICBC is worth by the
in the next decade, they're going to have about 3 billion
customers. And they're going to be doing lending, investment,
going to be doing all of these things powered by the fact they
have 3 billion people connected on a super wallet architecture,
over 100 countries. And this is the well on the way to this
already, they've got over three quarters of a billion customers
on their platform right now. They've just done a partnership
with Paytm. In India, which is going to bring them another half
a billion. They've got partnerships with cacao in South
Korea, G cash in the Philippines, they tried to buy
MoneyGram in the United States, and Trump stopped that because
he was worried about the Chinese coming in. But they'll have
another shot at that
they didn't know about the Money Gram that Alibaba tried to buy
them. They know that the thing is good that Trump stopped that
but for Trump, but the real bad actors anyway, no
other president would have done that, because they haven't got a
clue about finance.
You're absolutely right. I didn't even know he did it. I
heard it from
this. Why? How would you know why would they anyway even
mentioned in mainstream media?
That would be crazy asking. Yeah, I wouldn't know. So to
wrap this up, Google is the one that I think is we really, this
is a Facebook, Hail Mary, everyone sees the Google danger.
Google is so entrenched in everybody's life, they really
ignore me, even if I'm OTG, they still have a lot of information
on me, is because they track everywhere, whether you use
Google or not. And they were, as we've discussed before, are the
majority stakeholder in Credit Karma. So when you think of ant
financial, and how you have this social score, which penalizes
you for not being a good person, or, or any type of moving
violation, you might might make and of course rewards you when
you do something good. I can tell you that is now in place.
And I think it is the Vantage 4.0 score, which is what Credit
Karma is based on and we've we've talked about the FICO
score, which is still used by most major mortgage lenders and
auto finance years, which is compiled from very different,
very stodgy very old datasets. Whereas Credit Karma is basing
your trustworthiness on your timeliness of paying your
utility bills and others certain types of things. And it is
modifying people's behavior to be better so they can give them
more credit. I know I've said this before, but I went looking
at Credit Karma and trying to figure out how they tie in just
looking for some more information on on what their
future plans are. And it was much easier for me to just go to
the public marketing side and just grab a couple of their
YouTube videos to show you not only where their head is, but
how people think about their credit score. Again, this has
nothing to do with your actual what used to be important FICO
score. This is really well you'll hear these millennials in
this Credit Karma informational video.
Hey, everyone, welcome to credit crunch, where we tackle A
commonly asked credit question. Today's episode is all about
credit scores and what they mean. We're hitting the streets
of San Francisco with our financial expert to find out
more, Jennifer, thanks, Kaylee.
Let's see what people know about their credit scores. Do you know
what a credit score is? Yeah, of course, I know what a credit
score is. You guys know what a credit score is? Unfortunately,
yes, I guess it's like a score that credit agencies
gave you it measures your credit worthiness if you're a cool guy
or not. A credit
score is a three digit number that determines whether or not I
can get a car, it's determined that whether you're gonna get a
loan for anything, what does that credit score measure?
How much credibility you have with borrowing money.
That's almost like a judgment of your ethical character, like how
well you utilize your credit. Essentially, how much the people
that's giving you money, trust you to pay it back. Who do you
think uses
credit scores, mortgage companies,
credit card companies, some jobs do I think they bail evaluate
the risk as far as are you gonna pay them back?
Credit scores can be confusing. Simply put there, what lenders
often use to gauge whether they can trust you to repay your debt
on time. The higher your credit score, the better. There are
many factors that could affect your credit score. Thanks for
watching everyone. You liked our video, give it a thumbs up and
subscribe to Credit Karma is channel.
So you heard it. You heard it there. Your general your
character in general, you can't get a job and yes, that is what
this is being used for. They're tying it
into what this has been used for this purpose. We've talked about
on the show at least five years ago, long before the thing
happened in China.
Yes, but now with a All the data that they're collecting from
you, from your driving habits, or you speak, it's all, we only
discussed it really in terms of insurance, I think, typically.
But now it's going to
No, no, we talked about it in terms of getting a job, because
I think you're
absolutely right. But now Google is doing something very
interesting. They are launching a lot of different services or
buying into service, just outright acquiring or becoming
majority shareholder, without their name on it. So Credit
Karma is the big one at some outrageous, like 70 million
people are using this. And they've groomed 70 million
people into doing certain things, health ties into this,
your your health data is in your phone, it's in a little health
store. And of course, people go I don't care, I'm just gonna
give them the give that Credit Karma app, the access to that
they can take a look at that. So all of these things are coming
down to creating the perfect slaves who will function exactly
the way that this bank, I'll just call it, the Google bank
wants you to be a good person adhere to the speed limits, so
that they can continue to give you more credit and squeeze you
all the way down into I don't know until you just have to go
work for Google. I don't know what the end game. But the
social credit score is already in America. And it's surfaced
for now as Credit Karma. And that's what this is about.
I think you have made the argument that the social score,
whatever it's called, and China has been here, actually already
been here, and it's just now popping up as if it was It
predates China.
Of course it does. But China took the money and run. I mean,
China has the perfect government for this kind of stuff to work.
It's the government's all over the aunt pay and financial
systems. So you know, that's,
yeah, we haven't gotten to the point where you can't get on an
airplane because you have a bad credit score.
No, but I don't see why it why it couldn't happen. And it's
really not that important, because that's a social issue
that our government isn't set up the way China's is. But to
benefit the Google bank. Yeah, they're going to make you do
things so that you have the right credit to do certain
things. And it could come to that. Absolutely. Or we'll give
you you've been driving too fast. So we're just not going to
give you credit for for that car. You can have credit for a
different car, or car. There's lots of ways around a John, I'm
just saying when people 150 million around the world for the
second time in his many years, install the idiotic face app. It
to make yourself look old, which Thank you very much. I have no
desire to make myself look old. This app, what's in the news?
Oh, it's owned by Russia and just written a bullshit. Oh,
it's a stealing your photos of the facial recognition?
Bullshit. This thing is filled with trackers. That's all that
it is. It's placing advertising IDs, it's tracking it. If you
don't want to look at just the permissions you want to look at
their privacy policy. And that's where you can see how they share
everything share with the with the data brokers. It's a that is
a complete spy app. And everyone's all focused on the
picture. Part of it's unimportant. It's getting.
I thought it was a fantastic ploy. Well, it is just as good
as the one that Cambridge analytics did with a phony
baloney how smarter you quiz, or whatever,
it was just the same thing exactly. Is Oh,
let me just answer these stupid questions. I'll just do this and
clicking, clicking, clicking, clicking click. And, yeah,
crazy. And when
you look at what what they do is they they they continuously
monitor your browser tracking, even if you delete the app, I'm
not sure about iOS or an Android, it still leaves
specific identifiers on your phone that the tracking
companies will be able to use. And they're going to use it for
this. Who do you think they're selling it to? They're selling
it to banks. That's the main those are the guys. How much
money is the fight? Isn't the financial sector, the only real
industry we have anymore in America? Isn't that what we do
now? Troopers love the idea. It's true. It's what it is. So
that's why you need to get rid of your smartphone. And it's not
just for yourself. It's for everybody else. And of course, I
know I'm just I'm every I know I'm swinging away at the
windmills. Because, you know, the millennials today are IDC. I
don't care.
I don't care. They know everything anyway, I don't care.
Okay. It's all fine. I
got those sparkly toys. Well, I'm here to tell you good. I'm
here to tell you the new generation. You are setting
yourself up for A big big fucking and it's going to hurt
you already have your 3040 $50,000 worth of student
debt this is only in fact how much you pay back on your
student debt will be determined by how you participate in the
Credit Karma system well you know we see that you don't
really have a job you kind of doing some work but you spent a
lot on alcohol now we think that you can probably remove some of
the alcohol expenditure and we're gonna up the percent of
the up your payment that you need to pay monthly for your
skewer lordy
man, I was buying for a party I don't drink that much
my time coded that so that is the danger and that's that's
where we're at. And so it's not going to be like China it's
going to be much worse you're going to be a true slave of of
these of your own bank of your bank. There you go. Be warned
people
everyone Quest was good. I liked it. There was very good
presentation and
I have a question about millennials just before we take
our break but I have a question for you about
your presentation first sure that your thing you're a Bitcoin
maximalist what happened to the Bitcoin fork?
Oh, you mean bitcoin cash?
I don't know what it was called. I can't remember anymore. But we
do is we talked about it when it happened. It was a Bitcoin fork.
Yeah. And then what happened to it?
It's still working.
It's still work.
Yeah, well, I mean, I think it's currently it's three or $400
bitcoin cash, but that's a Bitcoin it's not the same it's
not the same. There really truly is only one cryptocurrency
everything else has its own validity. But you bitcoin is the
indestructible one No one can mess it up. Bitcoin cash is $313
currently. Okay, now the question I had
you've gotten millennials in the house. Oh, yeah, they're
crawling all over the place
when they watch television like movies I would say specifically
or TV series. Do they have the CAD the closed captions on?
Generally no, but every once in a while they do and I usually
turn them off but well they don't I know what you're saying
because I have seen this What's your this phenomenon? Where
there what days? I was once there was a period of time where
they had to kept a close captions on for some reason? Um,
well I do you ask?
Because I have that here at home and I this is what you just said
is my experiences I flip on to watch something and I gotta turn
off the closed captions because they're always turned back on.
And I think this may have started with Game of Thrones.
But Millennials there's another I think
that there's so odd nobody in this house is what is a good
game of thrones person?
I think a lot of millennials are so occupied with or so
distracted by other screens and other things they're doing they
can't just sit there and take it in and turn the sound up and
enjoy an experience
no, they had to be doing something else.
Yeah, so missed it was so they're reading they're not
getting missed 70% of the enjoyment
it may just be me is that high
it may just be me but I'm kind of throwing this out there to
see if this is a thing I identified this as a thing and I
wanted to know you know how widespread it is yes cropped up
yes it has well with that I'd like to thank you for your
courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea
in the shit coin John sea
and it is filled with the sea in the morning you Mr Adam curry
also in the morning all ships as he boots on the ground feet in
the air subs in the water and all the days and nights out
there
hello trolls in the morning to all of you that's right they are
there they're in the troll room no agenda stream.com is where
you can troll along with every single episode we do them live
we do it live. No agenda stream.com which is not just for
this show. You can listen before the show after show 24/7 There's
always someone in the troll room. There's always some show
going on. And it's a it's a fabulous little community. And
it's it's pretty damn free and open I'd say check it out also
in the morning to let me see where it was my Here we go. Now
this is not working for some reason what happened Who am I
supposed to say in the morning? This is weird. It's not it's not
going to the right place who did the artwork for Stop it? Who did
the artwork for? For episode 1155 from UC no agenda show.com.
Ah, yes. Okay. This was done by Mike Riley. I don't think we've
had a piece from Mike and Allah little bit. And
I know a couple weeks ago we had one really good old Mike Riley
piece we brought forward I believe, or something new we
Yeah, he's saying, well maybe I'm thinking in my newsletter
because I keep putting Riley pieces in there.
Well, you had a pretty funny piece, which was the the moon
landing the lunar module there and at a buffer service has
buffering and there's a buffering indicator, because of
course, we talked a lot about the transmission of the signals
from the moon down to the television signals down to the
moon and the Lost Tapes. So it fit perfectly with the episode
thank you very much, Mike, just one of the many ways that people
participate in our value for value network, you can add value
to the show in many many ways. And certainly our artists have
no agenda art generator.com do a great job with that. And we
thank Mike and everybody else and and we also thank our
executive producers and Associate Executive producers,
I want to say something about the art now that you mentioned
it because we appreciate art and we have this our theories about
why it benefits to show just as standalone stuff because it's a
different way of looking at the world. But it's also for the
artists because a lot of the you know they just did a lot of work
for them because that the listener of the show which is on
real time and then gets crank something out it's like speed
art. But as an as people
who are just like speed dating you don't get lucky at the end
of the day. You're gonna
get lucky at the end of the day of speed dating from what I
understand. So it's like it's good for the brain to try to
conceive art
interesting point.
Me because it's an exercise because it's not I mean it's not
normal is nonlinear thinking to come up with these art these art
pieces and and to get good at it like Martin JJ did out of the
blue after working for years. And years. It's it's an exercise
in kind of nonlinear thinking that once you achieve it, you
get it's just very satisfying. I'm absolutely convinced to
that. Okay,
well our artists should let us know if the how they feel about
these things.
Some, it's addicting. Roland cuts out. Roland costs Dang.
Cost Stagner. What do you think?
Cuz Stanger could roll into Stanger because Stagner roll. So
Roland Well, hey roll, he's gonna change his name. Anyway.

you know they they do keep the world running. So now I'm having
to keep the show
running. No kidding. Hello, John anatomy you don't have to read
this all on the show. But okay, we will. I quit my tech sales
job and moved out of the poop Capitol a few weeks ago.
Couldn't be happier. Was
that San Francisco?
I'm assuming I'm taking a few months hiatus from work and
we'll be looking to get some more creative, more creative
career into a more creative career once I hurray turn
possibly film slash entertainment.
How about podcasting? Well, he said career I'm sorry, yes.
Okay, got it.
I'm embarking on a two month Oh, long road trip, road trip. Road
trip throughout the United States with no real plans and
the two of you will be keeping me company during my many hours
of driving as a thank you Harrison. By the way, I have a
product. I got to look it up. Because I just bought it. If
you're going to go on a road trip, you should take this with
you. It is and I'll get to details. ranch hand. It Yeah.
Well. I'm not saying you shouldn't take that. But there's
i so i have this. We have a number of cars and one is old
Volkswagen that was battery seems to go dead all the time.
So I bought this thing. I thought it was a joke. It's a
small battery is the size of a pack. Like three packs is four.
Oh yeah. You stick it into the cigarette lighter and it starts
the car.
No, no. So but you You can charge them to see really. So
I'm looking at all my battery charges they get different
battery charges. They always have the same like a two amp
trickle and a 10 amp boost and a 50 amp Max policy stuff. That's
that's how you start the cars with the thing you plug in the
wall. Yeah, this is a 600 amp battery amp. Yes. Okay, so you
take this and it's a little bitty thing. And it's just as
lot of electronics in here the Megan 600 amps, you stick it on
any I'm telling any car and to me it just
roars to life. You sure it's not amp hour? amps. 600 amps, okay.
Damn. And it does that for a second and you got to charge it
up again. I guess?
No, no, it'll do 30 starts before you have to charge it up
again. It's a miracle. Okay, here's my response to it shows
up in the mail in the mail from from Amazon. I look at it and I
said, Oh, I'm sending this back. Just thinking to start nothing.
And he's you know, okay, well give it a try. And I go out to
the battery's dead. So I just woke it up and the battery was
kind of you know, it has a boost. What
kind of Volkswagen is this? It's an old bug. A bill. Okay.
Mexican or US made in Mexico. So it has the flat screen
doesn't have a flat screen.
I mean, the I'm sorry. My mistake. The the calm concave.
windscreen. The ones in Mexico were flat I think.
Um, that is a newer car. Okay. Ticket 2004.
Oh, I thought it was classic. Okay, I'm sorry. Well, all
right. There you go. Why is it? Why is the battery dead on that
thing that shouldn't be happening,
doesn't mean it's not driven enough. So anyway, so this
little, hook this thing up. So you know, boom, the thing starts
up, and it not only started it starts up violently. So I get
the thing off, you know, and I run it and it's fine now. But I
was really looking at this thing as a nother piece of crap from
China. I'm gonna send it back. And it's not a piece of crap.
For me it is from China, obviously. But it's not a piece
of crap by any means. And it's just a remarkable and it's a
little bitty thing. And it also has phone chargers built into
it, which is another thing you'd want to take it on the road for.
You want to have this on the road in your trunk. If you're if
you're driving
across country, do you know what the name of this product is? So
we can tell everybody?
I don't know. I don't I'm not gonna say the name so I can get
lots of emails. Asking me the name. Okay, John, after the
show. Yes, I will have the name before the end of this show.
Sure. I will, because I don't want the emails I just bitched
about. Anyway, so he's on. Okay, he's on the road trip. Thank you
for stopping by profits from Genie energy Genie.
Oh, hold on, hold on. It's important, because he apparently
invested in Genie energy stock symbol G and E. After listening
to one of our deconstructions of the pipelines, the Leviathan
pipelines, the Bill Clinton adviser ship of Genie energy,
right. And guess when we were talking about it, he decided to
invest and he made some money on it. It's amazing.
Now he can float around the country like a maniac, but he
needs his battery.
But he needs that battery no matter what you do.
To all producers, I'm embarking on a long trip and I want some
help. I'm starting from Sacramento, Sacramento, going
south to San Diego, then making my way east is taking a left. I
plan to spend three plus weeks or about three weeks in the
southern United States and make my way you'll love it down
there. Make my way to Minnesota is hot. Especially now over to
Washington possibly up to Vancouver. Well, what you saw
he's going to loop around Wow. The south and go up to Minnesota
nuts. And then over to Washington to Vancouver,
Vancouver. You know what he needs? You know what he needs?
He needs him to battery. Yeah. Yes. And it needs to hook up to
that battery and aprs beacons so we can follow him on the ham
radio maps.
It has a USB power out. Yes. It's
perfect. Get an aprs thing. Yeah, good. Good.
Anyway, and he could do it. He's a techie. Back down to
California calling our produce for your help and adding some
things to do to my To Do lists. I'm a fun 23 year old who loves
food, nature, art, music, etc. And would greatly appreciate
some recommendations for my fellow producers. My email is

can do that. And thank you very much. And that's a great
American experience. I think it's uniquely American, to just
get in your car and drive without any real plan
necessarily. I've done some of that never really across
country, but it's very enjoyable and let us know how things are
going from time to time. You've got the keys. All right.
Where we're at, sir Jim Zookal. He's our last Associate
Executive Producer comes with 200 bucks. And I looked and
looked and looked and looked. And I found no notice that the
note he wrote in February complaining that he donated
$1,100. And we don't remember his name being mentioned. So he
apparently that's all he cares about. Instead of writing us at
home, he just wants to make sure his name is you mentioned. And
this sensitive. We haven't done this show yet. We're doing it
now. Jim, your name has just been mentioned. Yes. And he'll
be in for did to get Makarem. I can use one. Of course we can.

enormously. Thank you very much for that. Remember, we do have
another show coming up on Sunday. It's a second Thursday
show of the week. And before I do that I have a special health
karma going out to Chris Abraham. He's getting what's
called a cardioversion which I think he has a fib. So he says
I'm getting a cardioversion which would turn my AFib to
sweet, sweet sinus rhythm. How do they do that? So that's when
your heart is irregular or goes or just speeds up all of a
sudden, is that what a fibrillation is? Yeah. Did you
just walk away like mine? I'm done reading that. I'll just go
over here and do something else for myself. Go work on the other
podcast with Adam Carolla. All right, thanks, Dan. I want it to
follow all of these jobs karmas etc up with an example of jobs
karma working this is anonymous. Although her name is known, Adam
just following up jobs karma works I donated asking for jobs
jobs for jobs karma a couple of times over the past year during
my pilot training. My dad even donated and got me cursed with
the Trump Nancy jobs karma but hoho big news it's not cursed
because I just found out I am will be flying the B 52 Bomber

Okay, I have I have the name of the product. Ah okay. I know

little more than 800 amps. If you got a big engine you gotta
definitely turn over. It's a little bigger but it's actually
the price is only seven bucks more. Anyway actually I got when
I bought it was 56 bucks somehow it's going up in price typical
Amazon but this is a great product to have as just you know
just set of jumper cables and worry about getting jumpstarts
for your old jalopy which because you want an old car that
was going to be tracked. You need this you need this device
you
need a jalopy
jalopy plus a pack like
this All right. That's the no agenda way you got to Nokia II
71 You got to jalopy. You got to tack light starter, your jumper.
And no friends. That's the no agenda way everybody. Oh my
goodness. All right. Speaking of old jalopies, or leaving your
jalopy at home, the E scooter revolution continues in Austin,
Texas. We had been the pilot city. And although I liked the
idea of this kind of mobility, it hasn't worked out very well
for a lot of people because the rules are unclear and the roads
are not set for it. No one's prepared for it and you are
getting killed.
There are at least eight new lawsuits against scooter
companies and Austin all filed within the last several days.
Last week, writers filed seven separate suits in Travis County
against bird Uber and lime. Another lawsuit was filed this
week. They all claim negligence saying Ryder suffered injuries
because of problems with faulty scooter equipment. Once you
claims a cap Metro Bus ran over a riders arm when he was thrown
from a scooter.
Just wait until they all figure out that the end user license
agreement you agreed to when you signed up with the app
completely indemnifies Those companies from any of your
lawsuits? Yep. Because that's how it works. It works. That's
how it that's how you do it.
If you're somebody cracks the code on that. Yeah, this will
continue. Somebody does crack the code. And when these guys
get sued out of existence, then that'll be the end of it. Big
news The way I see it is this has been the same way with
software. The courts have upheld two EULAs which are onerous, and
and probably illegal. Well, they've been held up by the
court really
not clearly not illegal if the courts upheld them.
Well, clearly not illegal if the courts upheld them, although as
far as I'm concerned, they're well they're definitely onerous.
Well,
it's, I'm telling you, I had the I went to the spin class the
other day. And so now at the right drive downtown and park on
such a such a suburbanite, now and I had a little lunch there
to Verna on what does that second street and I get up and
I'm done a walk away and there's, there's no there's
homeless people standing right. I'm sorry. panhandlers. I've no
idea. If these people are homeless as a panhandler. They
say hey, man, you got something and said, No, I don't do that
anymore. Na starts yelling, I'm gonna kill you and kill your
family. And it's like, oh, yeah, yeah.
I should get this on tape and and take you to the city
council?
Uh huh. They don't care. Okay, then, you know, the city council
meetings I find that are always on Thursdays. This is very
annoying. And if you want on a Thursday day, yes, they are on
Thursday day. And if you want to speak they only allowed 10
People of the public to speak at each meeting and you know,
there's a calendar you sign up. Well, that's signed up forever.
You can't get in on that. It's undemocratic. here in Austin,
some Democratic
Well, I'm glad to see you had the experience of a guy cussing
you out for not giving him money. There you go. There's
your future. There's your future dystopia? Yep,
no 10 cents on the sidewalks yet though, even though it's legal.
I haven't seen those yet. But it's coming at Austin is going
down with that. Meanwhile, over in the Euro land. Well, I guess
they got their gender balance all set up as they voted in.
vondre Leigh, is that her name? I think that's her name, isn't
it? Ursula. That's right, Ursula von der Leyen. And she has been
confirmed as the next president of the Starfleet Command known
as the EU Commission.
Right. Well, the magic number for us levada line was to get
set 374 MEPs on site 383 did get on side with her. She made the
the threshold by just nine votes. There was a lot of
promises made in the speech she gave it to Parliament earlier on
Tuesday morning, she she made a lot of promises about green
policies. She wanted to try and reenact some have said she
promised far too much things that she can't possibly deliver.
But those were the promises she made. She also made promises on
the Dublin treaty to do with asylum in the EU and who has the
responsibility to take care of those who seek asylum here.
Again, another big issue that many people want to see reform
on but does she have the ability to do it? She made those
promises anyway. So she got those people on side that were
needed. Initially we had thought that the greens were going to
vote against that the fall The left and the far right in the
parliament, we're going to vote against her. It does seem like
she might have won round some of those green voters. This is what
Ursula von der Leyen have to say, though, as she accepted the
role as the first woman to be the European Commission
president we can turn to my thank
all that members of parliament who decided to vote for me
today. But my message to all of you is let us work together
constructively, because the Endeavor is a united a strong
Europe. Thank you very much.
Right. Firstly, fun to lay on. That's her name. Thanks, troll
room. So finally, a German once again running the German Empire.
Shocker.
From steamer mounts the Dutch guy who a lot thought would be
the front runner, and we hoped so because he was. Yeah, we know
the guy. Oh, I know. I know the guy. I was like, maybe I get an
interview with him some day. So he was cut out. Sure.
He's not German.
He's no, he's not even close. He says something stupid the other
day. Oh, yeah. He said, now all of a sudden, he's got a big
mouth. I guess he's out. He's I don't I don't know if he has any
position. You know, I don't know if he I think he's just out
altogether. For the time being, I have to look that up. But now
he's got a big mouth. He can say whatever you want. And so now
he's doing interviews about Brexit, and how well the, the
was crazy. When they came over, they had no plan. Here he is, we
thought
this so brilliant. They will have some in some force
somewhere in Westminster, that will be you know, Harry Potter,
like with all the tricks and all the things they need to do. And
then the first time I saw public utterances by David Davis, and I
saw him not coming, not negotiating grandstanding
elsewhere. Oh, my God, they haven't got a plan. They haven't
got a plan. That was really shocking, frankly. Because then
the damage if you don't have a plan, and that, you know, we see
it that Time's running out. You don't have a plan. You know,
it's like Lance Corporal Jones. You know, don't panic. Don't
panic running around like idiots.
So he makes a reference there. Do you know the reference Lance?
Corporal Jones, don't panic. Don't panic. No, I
do not.
It's a 1960s TV show. Known as Dad's Army. COMM don't panic.
Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic.
Don't panic. Don't panic. Only people 50 And above who lived in
the UK or? Well, the Netherlands air to two would know what that
is. What is he thinking?
A slog. That's a call back this obscure 60s
TV show, which wasn't even all that funny. Oh, man. No, but
maybe it
is bad. I mean, I use a few I do. I'll do a call back. Not
that bad. But I'll do some call back to some B if that's really
true. True, is also quite bad. Got it? Yeah.
There's something that I've just wanted to deconstruct. I don't
have an opinion really one way or the other. But there's a lot
of misinformation about the first responders fund that Jon
Stewart has been around talking about and trying to he's been in
Congress. He spoke he's very one
that that the one that the squad voted against? Did the squad
vote
against it? I think most of them did. Yeah. Well, here he is on
Fox News. Complaining bitterly after the latest round of
discussions of this bill.
Yeah, this is what the Washington Post says about this
fun this is the fun provides money to those who have
contracted diseases that have been linked to exposure to toxic
debris in the aftermath of September 11 attacks, which we
knew under current law, the fund is scheduled to stop taking
claims in December 2020. The new legislation would extend the
program for seven decades, at an estimated cost of 10 point 2
billion for the first decade. Here's how Senator Paul said
that on the floor today.
Any new spending that we are approaching any new program
that's going to have the longevity of 7080 years should
be offset by cutting spending that's less valuable. We need to
at the very least have this debate. I will be offering up an
amendment is Phil should come to the floor. But until then I will
object
John Stuart, your reaction?
It's absolutely outrageous. And you'll pardon me if I'm not
impressed in any way by Rand Paul's fiscal responsibility
virtue signaling. Rand Paul presented tissue paper avoidance
of the $1.5 trillion tax cut that added hundreds of billions
of dollars to our deficit. And now he stands up at the last
minute after 15 years of blood, sweat and tears from the 911
community to say that it's all over now. Now we're going to
balance the budget on the backs of the 911 first responder
community. Brett, this is about what kind of society we have at
some point, we have to stand up for the people who have always
stood up for us. And at this moment in time, maybe cannot
stand up for themselves due to their illnesses and their
injuries. And what Rand Paul did today on the Senate was
outrageous. He is a guy that put us in hundreds of billions of
dollars in debt, he was the 51st vote on that cut. And now he's
going to tell us that a billion dollars a year over 10 years is
just too much for us to handle, you know, there's some things
that they have no trouble putting on the credit card. But
somehow, when it comes to the 911, first responder, community,
the cops, the firefighters, the construction workers, the
volunteers, the survivors, all the sudden, man, we got to go
through this.
So here's the problem I have with with what's going on here,
because I just really want to look into it. It is not the
first responders fund. It's not what it's called. It's the 911
Victims Fund. And you and I discussed at great length that
we remember this going on in the early days of the show, when
they brought in that the special as a name as the manager, this
special manager of the 911 Victims Fund. And he had seven
and a half billion dollars to hand to victims of 911, which
includes anyone who was injured, killed, etc. harmed physically,
by the by 911 attacks, including first responders. It's not just
first responders, also, people with a lot of Wall Street people
perished during that. So he's making it sound as if it's only
about the first responders. And, and this is not a standalone
bill, this has been in place. And for the past 18 years,
people were paid an average of $200,000 per year. And this
addition, which re UPS it for another 70 years takes it up to
2090, who 2089 I think is in addition to us, code 40101. And
what is happening now is descendants. So the way it's set
up now is you can no longer submit any claims after 2020.
The bill opens that up and allows the descendants of the
victims of 911 to also participate in the program. The
estimation is it could wind up being 500,000 People who
ultimately over this 90 year period will be receiving
$200,000 per year in compensation, which will be
adjusted and that's also new will be adjusted for inflation.
At what point it's the taxpayers are paying for this. It's not
just for first responders. It's for all victims and their
descendants. I think Grandpa has a valid point as to I mean,
that's that's what I don't think he he worded it correctly. But
what point do we stop? I mean, where does it stop? And is the
American taxpayer? Are we supposed to be the only ones for
this? I understand. First responders have a different
response to the first responder fun, I think we need to pay
firemen and policemen a hell of a lot more than we're paying.
You maybe paid them 200 grand a year instead of doing that after
the fact. But this there's some there's some validity to it. And
I think John Stewart's not being completely honest by calling it
the first responders fund is just not true. And there's a lot
of very wealthy families who are who are receiving this money as
well. From you know, a lot of Wall Street people. So I don't
really have an issue with it's certainly not the amount of
money 100 billion over time, it's
just being dishonest on purpose, or you think he's being misled
or you think he's just being naive or a do gooder. I mean,
what is the what is his motive?
I really don't know. That's why it's kind of baffling to me.
Because there's a lot of people who let me just take this
descendants of slavery, let's give them some money. You know,
it's at a certain point, where does it end? And where does it
start? And what what are the rules of the road for competent
compensation of these types of issues? Or is it to shut people
up? I mean, I'm just saying it's a conspiracy, thought. Keep
people shutting up about anything that happened because
that is if you accept the money, you can't, you can't do
anything. You can't take anyone to court. It's over. And I
remember this because we talked at great length. It was a it was
difficult. I remember the guy was trying to What's his name is
a famous guy who came into who was divvying up the initial $7.6
billion. It's just, you know, something's off about this, and
I haven't quite figured it out. But Stuart must have some
something in this, besides just first, maybe he's just blind to
the what's really going on. And why does he not call it the
victims? One? Why does he keep saying it's only first
responders when it's just not? And that's a rhetorical
question. I really don't have an answer.
Well, I think it's something you're gonna have to watch.
Through throw it out there just for people to think about. But
it's, it's very odd. It's very odd. And Rand Paul, of course,
now looks like a total dick. Because the way
he always looks like a total dick. It's fine. Oh, he does.
He does have that quality about him. Yeah, just no. But as as a
society, we also need to think maybe it's better to pay people
more for dangerous jobs they do. But you know, the victims.
Should we just go to Saudi Arabia? Should we can we get the
money from them? Seeing as most of them were from Saudi Arabia
and most of the so called hijackers?
I think that's a good idea. Yeah. That's like,
why does it have to come out of taxpayers pockets for
Descendants for the neck? They had longer than I will be alive.
No, I had I mean, I didn't have physical harm. I had all kinds
of issues. I did an entire helicopter company went down the
tubes after 911. And I was like, all right. Anyway, again, I have
I have no, no really
befuddled. I am befuddled. disenrollment of show
befuddlement. I
am befuddled by this, maybe someone can help. No, I like
to talk. I'd like to talk. I have a bunch of clips about the
incident that took place in Congress. That to me was very
historical. Okay. There was a number of things that I've never
seen happen before. There was it was just it was funny. In some
ways. This was when Pelosi comes out and calls Donald Trump a
racist, probably yes, I
agree with this.
They basically stopped a show for two or three hours, they
just stopped the show because of one guy stop saying to take her
words down. She leaves the place she's not supposed to. She
violates the rules of the of the of the of the house over and
over again. And so does everybody else is being violated
constantly. And the guy was who's who's the who's running
the show the pratiquer at the time. Evans, I think is his name
he's from. He's from St. Louis. He's in St. Louis. He gave up he
threw down the gate drew that Jana have that on tape, the
gravel down the gravel. But let's listen to the the how that
part started. Well, actually, let's start with a bunch of
clips here.
Now can I just say something? I saw the whole I saw the whole
thing. I don't think a single so called news program showed the
actual clip of Pelosi is violation. They all show the end
where people are getting all rowdy. But when she actually
called the President a racist, they didn't air that most of the
time.
No, what's the point and the problem is they gave her one
minute in fact, they have their let's start with the Pelosi
clip. They gave her one minute I give her one minute. She talked
for seven minutes. Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, and I kind of
have it summarized and then i This is the main incident. So
she's talking I obviously clipped it quite a bit. I sped
it up and favorite, the guy got the guy at the end, and then
they shut down to shut down the house. And I kept the tape going
waiting for him. To come back to
spin it turned off the seaspan turned off the mics
with because there was nothing going on and they were trying to
fill because it was just dead air. But here it is incident
Pelosi wants vigor.
And now yield one minute to the Distinguished Speaker of the
House.
The Distinguished Speaker of the House is recognized.
Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman
for yielding. I thank him for his leadership in so many ways
in this Congress, Mr. I want to Spanish mass this weekend just
and saw the dignity of those families, the beauty of the
children and the fear that the President had struck in their
hearts
the words that were used, go home to some of our colleagues
as he wants to split up families these comments from the White
House US are disgraceful and disgusting. And the comments are
racist. forcefully to join us in condemning the President's
racist tweets, to do anything less would be a shocking
rejection of our values and a shameful abdication of our oath
of office to protect the American people. I urge. Thank
you for that the balance of my office
is gonna give the general speaker of the house that she
would like to rephrase that comment.
I had cleared my remarks as a parliamentarian before I read
them and take it
to be taken down. I make a point of order. The gentleman's words
are unparliamentary and ready to be taken down.
The chair will remind all members, please, please do not
make comments toward personality based personnel. The base
comments gentleman from Georgia is recognized made a point of
order this gentleman's arm parliamentarian request they'd
be taken down. There's a gentleman making a demand that
the words be taken down. I request the gentleman
gentleman's words are unparliamentary requested, it'd
be taken out. All members, all members will suspend.
I don't want to interrupt your presentation. I just have two
comments. One, the whole issue here is that you are not allowed
to call members in chamber any kind of name be disparaging
against them. And the President by definition is represented
there, too. Just before that the Democrats had done the same
shit. The Republicans asking for parliamentary inquiry and and to
strike words from the record for the very same reasons. What I'm
not hearing is Pelosi say Trump is racist. He's had racist
tweets, his racist tweets. So I'll step back
that's all true. Now this resulted in let's see, I gotta
get these look, these are not in the right order. These are see
random violation. Okay, we got that. There's a bunch of these
by the way. Here's the incident congresses where he comes back
finally after two hours plus, and the chair comes up and says
this is the incident Congress for abandons okay, this happens
to try to do this in a fair way. I kept warning both sides. Let's
not do this hoping we could get through. Mr. Paul had a
situation where we could be hit on another motion to take down
words of a friend of mine. And then we don't ever ever want to
pass up it seems an opportunity to to escalate. And that's what
this is. I'll dare anybody to look at any of the footage and
see if there was any unfairness. But unfairness is not enough
because we want to just fight. Abandon the chair.
I like that toss the gravel. It's gaveled people we know but
we call it a gravel
eater. I chose to gravel down and walks off. Now now oh my
god. Now what are we gonna do? What do we do? Yes. So they
bring another guy up, but he never does anything. And then we
wait another I don't know how long ago was our and then all of
a sudden a whole year comes up. Who is the the majority leader
of the Democrats standing here Steny Hoyer comes out and he
does this and this is the end he says the following incident,
Congress ruling Hoyer last chair
is prepared to rule chairs prepared to rule. The words of
the gentlewoman from California contain an accusation of racist
behavior on the part of the President as memorialized and
deciles precedents, chapter 29 section 65.6 characterization
characterizing an action as racist is not in order. The
chair relies on the precedent of May 15 1984 and finds that the
words should not be used in debate. What purpose is the
gentleman from Georgia rise? Mr. Speaker, I
have a motion at the desk. Clerk will
report the motion.
Mr. Collins of Georgia moves that the words of the
gentlewoman from California be stricken from the record.
The question is on the motion. All those in favor signify by
saying aye. Aye. Opposed nay? The nays have it. Oh, that was
oh, so
there was previous rules on the books specifically about calling
an action racist. Yes, I didn't realize okay, so that makes
sense. So she broke the rules. But she
broke the rule and then of course they backed her up
anyway. But the thing was, there were two other ones I have two
other clips that are in there only here for the entertainment
value and they both could have been called out for the exact
same thing nothing happened. It's as if Doug Collins has
waited for Pelosi to do it, because these two are actually
one of the two are worse than Pelosi. This is the incident.
There's a random violation of the same rule by Bonnie Watson.
Oops, sorry. Mr. Speaker,
I rise today to call out the blatant racism and the
President's tweets. I believe his rant and his defensive that
rant merit center from this body. The phrase go back where
you came from is a racist trope that has been used by
segregationist Neo Nazis, white nationalists and the Ku Klux
Klansmen to create a framework in which non white people are
not truly American. Describing non white countries is broken
and crime infested echoes the racist trope their president has
used before that such countries are dysfunctionally
dysfunctional, dirty and violent, because their
populations are black. His comments are indefensible, and
so is the silence are my colleagues across the aisle. I
wouldn't bother seeking an apology from him. But I do hope
Republicans here will join us in fully and roundly condemning his
words. And I'd remind them that history won't look kindly on
those who refuse to stand up for what is right. It is not lost on
me, however, and I hope not my colleagues either, that this is
simply a distraction from the present is friendship with the
documented pedophile pedophile, and news reports that he liked
in the Supreme Court about his census question. With that I
yield back.
Members are reminded to refrain from engaging personalities
toward the precedent for what purpose does the gentlewoman
from Illinois seek recognition?
Oh, so now it just you just let it slide?
Yeah, you let that one slide. But wait a minute, incident.
Another violation See, this is the clip three
and here on the floor outside of view, the gallery filling with
people watching what's a fairly unusual process here in the
house of cameras showing the floor are controlled by the US
House not by C span.
Speaker Pelosi
these comments are under review by the
house after Georgia Republican
looking for but the point is, is that there was three people that
did the this very negative action saying that he should be
censored they never did censor him. They just scolded him as
supposedly for these violations. We're calling out this form
Congresswoman the whole thing though. I was watching and you
saw most of it. Yeah, it was very I thought it was watching a
kind of a crazy kind of a wacky history guide throws down the
gravel and just stomped out Pelosi leaves when she's
supposed to stay was hilarious.
You know, I What a waste of time is what I No kidding. And what a
waste of great time,
though. Well, I'm sure they weren't happy about it. Because
when he when they said that we shall cease after Collins calls
for they're taken down to thing that he they stopped. They
stopped the show for two hours. I'm sitting there with that
recorder going. Because I actually got up and left into
something else figured I'd come back and see how much time there
was. So I could report on the time accurately. And it was
still going blank. And so I'm thinking I'll I had to stop it.
Wait wasteful. You said it right there. You said they stopped the
show. That's exactly what it is show business for Ugly people.
And that some of them these days aren't even that ugly. It's an
embarrassment. It's just an embarrassment. They're people
calling Trump racist in the chamber all the time. All the
time. But now Now we have to go after Pelosi. It's just
look kind of haggard to
Well, Nancy. Nancy is having a hard time. He's having a real
hard time. She's
She can't really she doesn't can't see those together. And
she can't keep it all together. She has getting old and she
doesn't have the skill set to deal with these for the squad.
What needs you?
What? Sorry, what skill set? Do you need to handle them?
I don't know. I don't have it. I mean, here's
you're not old enough to be Speaker dammit. That's your
problem. I
have I have a clip from a couple of shows ago Pelosi and AOC
battle which kind of describes is too long. It's a long clip.
Sorry. But when she had when she had the just AOC to contend
with. It was one thing but now the squad. These four women have
ganged up on Pelosi for the House
Speaker a difficult issue. I said what I'm going to say on
the subject that was
yesterday when Nancy Pelosi was asked about the public airing of
what had been mostly private frustrations in her caucus.
Those began months ago as a group of new members, including
New York's Alexandria Ocasio Cortes, pushed openly for the
party to move more to the left At one point she protested in
Pelosi office for her sweeping progressive Green New Deal
she Leader Pelosi become Speaker of the House
Pelosi reached out offered Ocasio Cortez a spot on a new
climate change committee. But she turned it down, pointing out
that the temporary committee had fewer powers than others. Soon,
Ocasio Cortez and three other freshmen women of color emerged
as a tight vocal group of activist members, but they did
not openly break with Pelosi until this month. Funding as
Congress heard more news of child deaths and poor treatment
of migrants at the border, Democrats initially passed
legislation to force better conditions that that bill hit a
wall in the Senate. We already have our compromise. So Pelosi
compromise agreeing to a more generic border funding bill that
didn't require better treatment. The motion is adopted. The only
Democrats voting no, those same four freshmen sometimes called
the squad and Ocasio cortezes office went further, her chief
of staff raised race in a tweet that attacked moderate Democrats
writing they certainly seem hell bent to do to black and brown
people today with the old Southern Democrats did in the
40s. That seems to
be the only like the only thing left in America, in the pool in
political America. If if you have no argument, just call that
person a racist.
It's if it didn't work, they wouldn't do it.
Well, it doesn't seem to work. It's it just doesn't
they think it works. I mean, if you're if you're outside the if
you're not in, if you're in I'm sorry, if you're in the the
harsh bubble, the same bubble that I pointed out that was
showing in the tweets against Jake Tapper's theory that showed
up in the comments on Twitter. If you're in that bottom bubble,
it's working great if you're in the Rob Reiner bubble.
Right, but it doesn't have any actual effect on the outcome.
George W. Bush still became president.
They think it does, I think is working great is going to get
rid of this guy.
These these four women, they need to go review the history
books, it just doesn't really work that well.
And they do the one who has been reading a lot of martial Luther
King,
Martha. And the way I actually saw this come down was a little
different. They called Pelosi a racist, because she was though
she has to be very careful what she says about women of color.
And even after all of this, they went on with the Gayle King. And
I think it was I don't know it was to leave or Presley, who
said, Well, you know, she has to be really careful Pelosi saying
things about women of color because we get death threats.
You know, it's like, and I thought Trump went in actually
to draw a fire away from Pelosi. I thought it was being
chivalrous at first, like, oh, but that's kind of nice is like
given Pelosi a break. But then it turns out he was pulling
everybody in to make them all look stupid. Anyway. Did you
wouldn't read the rest of this clip, because, um, see where it
goes
those words, but a few days later, Pelosi told The New York
Times the group made themselves irrelevant, saying they're four
people, and that's how many votes they got. Then on
Wednesday, Pelosi went behind closed doors with her caucus
making an extraordinary plea for unity, at one point, saying that
members should come to her with complaints, not tweet about one
another. But the squad of four felt they were being wrongly
scolded. And Ocasio Cortez told The Washington Post, it was just
outright disrespectful, the explicit singling out of newly
elected women of color. That comment resonated with another
prominent Democrat Progressive Caucus leader Pramila Jayapal,
who also said, I don't think the speaker is used to having a
group of members who has bigger Twitter followings than her.
Which brings us back to Pelosi his response at the
request of my members. An offensive tweet that came out of
the one with the members offices that referenced our Blue Dogs
and our new dems, essentially, as segregationist, our members
took offense at that. I addressed that we respect the
value of every member of our caucus. The diversity of it all
is a wonderful thing. diversity is our strength. Unity is our
power. And we have a big fight and we're in the arena. And
that's all I'm going to say on the subject.
This all goes deeper than large personalities at odds. Pelosi as
Democrats have real policy divides between moderates, many
of whom are in vulnerable districts and progressives who
are not. It's a fight not just about who Democrats are, but
what they want to do.
Actually something in there was kind of interesting to see like
that wreck of our caucus. The diversity of it all is a
wonderful thing. diversity is our strength. Unity is our
power. And we have a great contradiction
to this world, and you will refer to them. I'm going to show
my school by Joanie to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
and indeed, we do have a few people to thank for show 1156
Starting with Chris. mitts laugh $109.89. He's that didn't hurt
first time donor. Keep up the awesome work, guys. In case
you're wondering, this is my $3. showtimes. 33 shows donation.
Nice, thank you.
What's karma for everybody? We'll put that at the end. And
then we had a group donation with some interesting stuff,
which I'm trying to decide what to do with this. And have it in
front of me.
I have in front of me the Atlanta meetup. Yeah, yeah. I
have a note. I have a note from the Atlantic. Did you have
something else to say about I just I'm just gonna just gonna
read the note.
Yeah, the Atlanta meetup contributed $108. Now, they you
can read the note, but the they sent a white, red book, feel
filled with a bunch of comments which I read. I'll read some of
them on an upcoming shows five different people that were
there. And it's actually kind of cute. Of course, you're wasting
the whole book. And I'm thinking how to do this without just
squandering as somebody one of our producers sent a note in
saying something about saving pages. Just maybe you'd have it
here. I might. Well,
let me read the report from Sir Victor of Alabama Baronet of the
Talladega Talladega range. John Adam, here's an unofficial
report from this week's Atlanta meetup at the Punchbowl social
at Battery Park, which is the venue for the Atlanta Braves. We
had at least 15 attendees and the photo was attached. Notice
the Adam and John heads on a stick in the back row. It's a
meet up requirement that we naturally broke up into three to
four small groups where someone would hold forth my favorite
conversation was our Submariner explaining the issues with the
Iranian or Iranian Navy and their diesel submarines in the
Persian Gulf. We had a $50 Anonymous cash contribution that
is already in the mail to PO Box, another great meetup more
than half of the attendees were at their first no agenda event.
And I guess everyone had a good time because you could all sit
down chat about anything you want without anyone getting
triggered.
Indeed, anyway, so the idea might be to you get one of these
little books, everyone signs and puts a little comment, you then
does my recommendation. You then photocopy the pages of those of
the write ups, there's not that many more than 10 or 20 in this
like button on this one. And then send those in as a PDF or a
file of some sort. Keep the book for the next meetup that you're
going to have because most of the like Atlanta 404 is going to
have more than a few meetups. Yeah. Keep the book and just
keep filling until it's about at least halfway full. Then send
send it
off. Exactly, exactly. Very good.
That's by recommendation. Onward to sure he moves 100 bucks.
Brett Winslow and Dodd Javale, Wisconsin 100 Troy Sprague in
Lapeer, Michigan and Troy actually did send a send a note
shares squeaking today. Yes,
chairs. The weather. Yeah, this is Troy here. He says he has two
requests. He wants three no invisible no agenda hats. Adam
mentioned quite you only get two by the way. Adam mentioned quite
a few shows back putting a prequel of a few words before
you sign a contract that you are unsure of. But it's a contract
you must sign back. You want a reminder without
without prejudice. There's the invisible the invisible hat just
came through.
He's a plus one for Friday the firewall Readex. God onward.
Yeah, we have to we should discuss the signing thing.

You have to hear it through the show what your family's doing.
Yeah. I'd love that. If you want to know more about any of these
meetups where you can go meet like minded people, even if
people with different backgrounds, different ideas,
but you're not going to trigger anyone this is what is amazing
about these meetups is people go and chat and have a good time
and have a drink and exchange ideas. No one gets angry or gets
into fist fights. It hasn't happened in 11 years. We haven't
had 11 years of meetups, but it just doesn't happen. It's it's a
lot more civil than the US government.
Let's put it that way. Yeah, this fight would be funny,
though.
And if you don't see a meetup near you, then create one
yourself. No agenda meetups.com That's where you can find out
all the information, no agenda meetups.com. And again, thank
everybody for attending those and for bringing your on the
spot donations. And we have a couple of the karmis to do I'm
going to roll them out right now.
Jobs, jobs,

nation.com/rings Enter your information, Eric a shill. We'll
put the children to work and get that out to you as soon as
possible. And we always love seeing a tweet on Twitter.
Probably even better a tweet on no agenda social.com with a
picture of your of your ring on your ceiling wax and these are
also great items at meetups. Everyone likes to wear their
ring and and and fist bump. I know. And remember us for the
next show, the vortech.org/na will be on Sunday. Very
important news. You probably heard about the area 51 Storm,
which I've stayed I've stayed away from reporting on it as
much as I could.
Mimi had a good idea at the table. She said it I said this
is not a bad thing. You have a half a million people that want
to storm the plane new in the government set up shop and
charge him 100 bucks each. Bring him in but a boss, give him a
full tour and take them out.
We'll probably because no one is actually going to go.
Well I think it was I think if they were going to give a tour.
I might go I don't know if I pay I think 100 bucks a little steep
but I think these most of these people would pay 100 bucks.
I remember our producers in Utah when I did the Utah meet up
about four or five years ago. And they had seen really weird
stuff out there. I gotta go back and listen that episode I
forgot. But they were contractors and they worked on
one of the hangars. And gosh, do you remember what it was?
You were seeing weird things saucers
and it wasn't saucers. Anyways, aliens. I stayed away from the
story until until I got this fox news report with a kicker was a
joke but one the Air Force is taking seriously a Facebook
post. an avowed fake designed to get likes announced a plan to
raid the Air Force Base in Nevada, known as area 51, which
has been at the center of UFO and alien conspiracy theories.
For decades, more than 1 million people have signed up for the
storm area 51 They can't stop all of us event slated for late
September, in which the post declares we can move faster than
their bullets. Let's see them aliens. It's been enough to
spook the Air Force, which doesn't use the term area 51 to
describe the 2.9 million acre live fire training range, the
largest in the United States located at Nellis Air Force Base
in Nevada. One of the many reasons Air Force officials
don't want people to trespass on the base. They're worried some
might be killed. Quote, any attempt to illegally access
military installations or military training areas is
dangerous. It's not clear the 1.1 million Facebook followers
who said they're going to storm area 51 are real and not Russian
bots.
I mean, really? Now they're Russian bots.
What? That is lame.
It's not clear whether they're real or Russian bots. Oh,
please. There's Elise good clip, at least. My stepdaughter. She
got green nip pointing nails. Because I'm ready.
It's become a CDC sign up.
No, of course not. It's just a thing. Now. It's a thing. It's
like the face app. It's these are all psychologically mentally
controlled children who are doing whatever the phone tells
them to do.
Phone tells me to move on to kill all the humans.
I'm not kidding. I'm showing off my nails. I'm part of the club.
Oh, well. Oh, well.
There you have it. Yeah. All right. What else we got here
today. He has a bunch of stuff. Just some interesting news
coming out. Kevin Spacey, these charges are dropped.
Yeah, that's it's kind of sad, because like, I followed this
story, I guess what turns out is that they figured out that this
kid maybe had, you know, had texted his friends that some
information that would have would have been exculpatory, ie
would have proven that it didn't happen. And they deleted those
and they manipulated screenshots.
I guess. You have
a clip. Oh, that's what I should just stop. You see, I presume it
would be called Kevin Spacey? Yes. Got it.
Prosecutors dropping charges against actor Kevin Spacey,
something his attorney called for in court last week.
This case needs to be dismissed and I believe it needs to be
dismissed today.
The State of Massachusetts dropping a Nantucket case due to
the unavailability of the complaining witness that
witnessed a young man who was 18 when he worked as a busboy at
this Nantucket restaurant. His mother told me in 2017 that
spacey assaulted her son. It wasn't until Kevin Spacey put
his hand inside his pants that he really knew he was in
trouble. He said he didn't consent to that.
Absolutely. Take for you to notice
a Snapchat video of the alleged incident to his girlfriend and
texted with friends. But last week at a hearing his attorney
said after police reviewed the phone it went missing.
Your Honor. We could not locate the phone spaces attorney
asked if the accuser had deleted messages. I don't believe so he
said, but his mother later admitted she did delete some
content. After hearing the alleged victim stopped answering
questions asserting his right against self incrimination.
If you turn any evidence in and in this case, it was electronic
in furtherance of a criminal investigation and you altered
that in and of itself is a crime.
Yep, well, Kevin Spacey definitely has some odd quirky
behavior to his name. But this is this he's uh, I would say two
degrees of victim of the me to movement. Now I
would agree. Although they still have charges, supposedly
supposedly in LA in London. They have not been made.
Oh, okay. I just have three,
three folds up that the whole thing may fold up shop. I mean,
I think the early assertions we have with this is really all
about Trump. Yeah. And it's since they got the Weinstein guy
out of the way and everything in the Trump things not sticking
let's, let's try something new. And let's go after us make Trump
a pedophile. Let's just take it to the next level. So I have two
Epstein clips if you want to hear him
Yeah. As a lead into that.
I don't have a lead.
I have a lead in. I just wanted to mention that Vanity Fair. A
Vanity Fair is a people read Vanity Fair. It's I'd say they
do. An art fair Vanity Fair is but when Vanity Fair, fair buy
is well written, well written and well read. Quote this the
headline is going to be staggering the amount of names
as the Jeffrey Epstein case grows more grotesque Manhattan
and DC Brace for impact. And the article talks about hundreds if
maybe not 1000s of names who may be implicated implicated once
the cases are opened up and doesn't some of this happened
today on the show date? Of course.
Maybe Maybe not all I know as you know, my position on this,
nobody's going to be implicate. There's nothing to this. I mean,
the guy's a creep, and that's about it. And there's a lot of
voluntary action going on. I just don't see that. This is
just again, anti Trump, but thing going on and it's not
going to help anybody. But that's just me. Now Epstein at
party NBC, there's two clips I have both from NBC NBC dredged
up in 1992 video of when he had Mar a Lago was not fully built
out as a resort. It was just something Trump owned. It was a
party house, and he loves to use the party with the folks down
and
Epstein, four feet tall.
Epstein is apparently quite as diminutive. He's not petite
male, you
know? He looks like a Formula One driver. You know, I mean,
with a big head, skinny body. And it's like, I'm not
impressive at all.
Well, so this is 9092, which is 27 years ago. And then they also
have some mentioned that they try to make it sound like it was
yesterday and Trump's his Powell. Even though Trump has
said he hasn't talked to him for 15 years. They can't find any
evidence that he's even talked about him even just in any way
since 2002, which is 17 years ago. So they're just trying now.
Oh, god, there's got to be some way he can end that you heard on
Congress that the woman on the floor of Congress, this woman,
Bonnie Watson go on and on about Trump being a pedophile, which
was, you know, the chair goes out. Don't do that. Again. It's
not a problem. Yeah. So let's go with Epstein at party NBC.
today's MARA Lago was Trump South Florida party Palace, one
frequented by Jeffrey Epstein, who was facing charges for sex
trafficking. He has pleaded not guilty. The president says his
relationship with Epstein was no different than anyone else in
their elite circle.
Well, I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. He was a
fixture in Palm Beach. I don't think I've spoken to him for 15
years. I wasn't a fan.
Yet a tape in the NBC archives of a Mar a Lago party shows
Trump giving Epstein his personal attention. The footage
shot in November of 1992 before Trump opened the resort as a
club shows the future president surrounded by cheerleaders for
the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins capturing Trump's fun
loving bachelor lifestyle. For an appearance on faith Daniels
NBC
talk show we're gonna get great ratings in your show.
Trump is surrounded by women as music players in the background.
After a while, Trump chose to greet three new guests, among
them, the financier Jeffrey Epstein, more than a decade
before his guilty plea on state prostitution charges. Later in
the footage, Trump has seen talking to Epstein and another
man, as women are dancing in front of Trump alternates
between dancing and pointing out women to Epstein and the other
man and telling Epstein about the cameras. Though exactly what
they say is difficult to understand as they discuss the
women and their appearances.
I'm sorry, just quick stop. I saw the video. It's not clear.
He's pointing out women in their appearances. It's
not clear he's talking to anybody about their appearance,
right? You're right. This is bullcrap. Oops, sorry. And let's
talk mentioned something else. This was this was a staged a
staged event for the for television
show. Yeah, where you talk to someone to make it look like
you're busy.
They brought in these people there doesn't mean he knows any
of them. This was staged by NBC for one of their talk shows. So
NBC could have invited the cheerleaders in and then and and
another thing they could do and they probably did since they're
filming it directing it but Okay, talk to this talk make it
look like you're talking to him. Shake his shake his hand okay,
no, no, no, go over there. Go over there. Now go over that now
dance. Can we get John John the girl let's
just take another analogy from NBC, which they do to this day.
When that news program is over. What do you do? You take your
papers and you go okay, I'm shuffling their empty shuffling
my papers and I'm pretending to talk to my co host. Well that
was a birthday. I was not really bright. It is totally done for
the camera
gauged bull crap. And yes, NBC did it. And then now they're
exposing it
is difficult to understand this. They discussed the women and
their appearances. Trump gestures to one and appears to
say to Epstein, look at her back there. She's hot. And then Trump
says something else into Epstein's ear. That makes him
double over with laughter But as the President says now, he never
liked Epstein I was
not a fan of his that I can tell you I was not a fan of his
Wow, you got a borderline for that wasn't full borderline
because I'd seen most of this reporting but I hadn't seen this
particular report where he appears to say something and
he's like got a I got a six year
I got a six year old Jack is over there. Hey, look at these
NBC doofus is with the camera. They're recording everything we
do. They're so stupid. That's
probably what's it's called B roll people.
And that was B roll. So Epstein update trying to implicate
Trump, they pushed it a little further. No. Further,
is also being talked about tonight. Some video shot by NBC
News 27 years ago that offers a glimpse into the past
relationship between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein who is
now facing new sex trafficking charges. NBC Stephanie Goss has
details.
A 9090 to party at Mar a Lago, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
shared a joke and laugh, and it fell cheerleaders danced among
the crowd. The video from NBC archives was shot more than a
decade before Epstein served 13 months in a Florida jail for
procuring a minor for prostitution. Last week after
Epstein pleaded not guilty to new Federal sex trafficking
charges. The President characterize their relationship
people in Palm Beach knew him he was a fixture in Palm Beach. I
had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don't think
I've spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn't a fan.
But in a 2002 magazine article Trump called Epstein a terrific
God. It is even said he likes beautiful women as much as I do.
We got to stop. We have to back it up and deconstruct this
because this is interesting. He says I haven't talked to him for
15 years. I'm I'm not a fan. Yeah. And then she uses the word
but now you use the word but in this sense to negate the
previous Yes. Didn't negate it to negate he said this, but
Well, the but is from 2000 to 17 years ago, and he hasn't talked
to him for 15 years. So how is this abut?
Oh my goodness.
Hey, seriously? Who are they trying to fool at NBC with this
package?
Why here's the thing, why don't they show a video of Ehud Barak,
from Israel entering and leaving Epstein's Manhattan townhouse.
And with the same time multiple young women, there's pictures
it's being it's in some print pieces. It's online. But no,
they won't do anything about that. And that's not Trump. I
know. Ehud Barak, who gives a shit Trump.
I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don't think
I've spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn't a fan.
But in a 2002 magazine article Trump called Epstein a terrific
guy, adding It is even said he likes beautiful women as much as
I do, and many of them are on the younger side. On Thursday, a
federal judge will decide if Epstein gets out on bail.
Prosecutors have argued he is both a risk to the public and a
flight risk. Sighting is more than $500 million wealth, piles
of cash loose diamonds, and an expired foreign passport under a
different name. But with Epstein's photo, his residence
listed as Saudi Arabia. The defense team said the passport
was acquired from Austria in the 80s for personal protection when
Epstein traveled in the Middle East, stating their client was
concerned about kidnappers, hijackers or terrorists.
Tonight, decades later, Epstein's fate is in the hands
of a federal judge Stephanie Gase NBC News New York.
All right let's let's I want to mention something here that this
is a hit piece. It's a piece of crap. If the Saudi Arabian
passport and his excuse for having it is valid as far as I'm
concerned, if it was a valid passport today, then it would
mean something but it's an expired old passport that
apparently he kept for some reason. That's useless. So why
is it even in the report is not as in material. They just trying
to build his nonsense case. And it's like, but it's not really
trying to build a case they're trying to meet into Saudi Arabia
coach was mentioned for a reason. Oh, yeah. That's the
reason you bring it in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia. Oh, Trump
and the bad Prince of Saudi Arabia who chops people up. He
chops up journalists. This is This is like a Trump in the
Trump piece in every way. It's unbelievable how poorly done it
is,
well, I want you to stay on this, I'm taking the Epstein
information I'm more interested in or I become interested in the
companies that he invested in, which appear to be a lot of mind
control or singularity. You know, Nathan merval, these guys
a lot of this. Interestingly, a lot of companies that would need
human people to experiment on remember, he collects people.
And in some of these companies are very interesting. I do some
Oh, no, I think you should just your be mathematical biology
and Chi. See
some I'm sending it to you. Yes,
please, please do. So I'm looking at that stuff. So what
was this? What was he doing with his money? And he, but you know,
a lot of Silicon Valley a lot of these singularity type dudes he
was hanging out with. So hilarity Yeah. Okay. That was
That was funny. That was good catch on that on that NBC
report. What a bunch of crap. And, by the way, if it comes out
that Trump was a part of this wouldn't surprise me either.
It actually would surprise me. Now, Nothing
surprises me anymore. I've just have two more things to eclipse.
And this is from the Google censorship session, which was
also the judicial oversight committee. I think it was Ted
Cruz presiding. The senator from Texas. And the first clip has no
real further background other than they had one. One guy was a
Dr. Robert Epstein and Robert Epstein testified that Google
actually swayed real votes in the last election. Just to give
you an it is a different Epstein or Epstein. He's an American
psychologist, Professor, author and journalist PhD from Harvard
editor of Psychology Today visiting scholar of University
of California, San Diego, Founder and Director Emeritus of
Cambridge center for behavioral studies in Concord,
Massachusetts, commentator for NPR is marketplace. His writings
have appeared in The Washington Post Sunday Times in London Good
Housekeeping parenting that he published in 2006. perspectives
and cycle I mean, he's got he's got quite the resume, could be a
complete nut job. He also has a beef with Google, Google search
over security warning we've had that placed on links to his
website, you know, as like, oh, this could be bogus, anti
Vaxxer. Not that he is but one of those types of things to the
guy has his is conflicted with Google. But here is the kind of
the summation of his testimony and what Cruz thought of that
the number one financial supporter of the Hillary Clinton
campaign in the 2016 election was the parent company of Google
alphabet, who was our first witness. They were her number
one financial donor and your testimony is through their
deceptive search methods. They move 2.6 million votes in her
direction, I would think anybody whether or not you favor, one
candidate or another, should be deeply dismayed about a handful
of Silicon Valley billionaires having that much power over our
elections to silently and deceptively shift vote outcomes.
Again, with respect, I must correct you the 2.6 million is a
rock bottom minimum. The range is between 2.6 and 10 point 4
million depending on how aggressively they used the
techniques that I've been studying now for six and a half
years.
Wow. Could Could you just say that again, please just the 2.6
million is a rock bottom minimum. The range is between
2.6 and 10 point 4 million votes, depending on how
aggressive they were in using the techniques that I've been
studying, such as the search engine manipulation effect, the
search suggestion effect, the answer bot effect and a number
of others. They control these and no one can counteract them.
These are not competitive. These are tools that they have at
their disposal. exclusively.
Funny how you didn't see that clip anywhere. And I'm sure he
didn't hear about it but there it is happened just the other
day.
And that is a that is a great clip and family give you a clip
of the day for uncovering it.
Oh, thank you. Well hold on to your hat. Something happened on
this panel, which I have I don't think ever seen before.
Typically you get you know someone there, there's a
witness, you're going to grill them. And yes, there will be
easy questions from the from one side of the other softballs all
pre scripted everybody knows what's going on. But rarely do
you hear a representative or Senator actually sit there and
defend the witness without asking any questions. So you
have to wonder who is paying? Mazie Hirono Mazie Hirono is I
think she's nuts. She represents Hawaii
guy and it's two to $10 million 10 million vote no, no,
not that was that was a witness. She was a different spending
Google.
Google
calendar says is July 16. But it feels like Groundhog Day in the
United States Senate. A little more than three months ago, this
subcommittee held a hearing to explore allegations of anti
conservative bias in the tech industry. My friends on the
other side were critical of witnesses from Facebook and
Twitter. They claimed a vast conspiracy to silence
conservative voices. After listening to some of the
comments from that hearing. You might think that some liberal
mastermind, said that's the controls of those platforms,
looking at 510,000 facebook posts and 350,000 tweets posted
every minute and removes anything that might align with
the Republican Party platform. I repeat now what I said then,
claims of anti conservative bias in the tech industry are
baseless. Study after study has debunked to suggestions of
political bias on the part of Facebook, Google and Twitter. In
June of this year, The Economist released the findings of a year
long analysis that ran on search results on Google's news tab.
Economist you your bell ring is correct. It
found no evidence that Google biases as results against
conservatives in April, Media Matters completed a 37 week
Media Matters study into alleged conservative censorship on
Facebook. It found that right leaning pages actually
outperformed outperform left leaning pages in terms of
overall interactions with users. Undeterred by this evidence,
here we are again, three months after that initial hearing with
Facebook and Twitter. It is now Google's turn to be raked over
the coals. Google will be accused of political motives for
some common sense actions that are entirely within their
rights. Just like we saw at the President's so called, quote
social Social Media Summit. Last week, President Trump invited a
rogue's gallery of social medias leading racists and conspiracy
theorists to hear about supposedly censorship by tech
companies. But none of these people have actually been banned
from any platform. Each remains free to use the megaphone social
media provides to spread their messages of conspiracy and hate.
This tilting at windmills comes at a cost. fears of being tarred
as biased have made tech companies hesitant to deal with
the real problems of racist and harrassing content on their
platforms. According to a report by Vice, Twitter is afraid to
use the proactive algorithmic approach it uses to remove ISIS
related content to read the platform of white supremacist
content. The reason? Twitter is afraid it might also catch
content posted by Republican politicians.
There you go. They can't use the algos because, you know, they
find racist stuff because it would trap Republican
politicians thanks Mazie Hirono Thank you. Thank you. Go get
your check now. What a horrible woman she is a horrible none of
these people are doing any service to the country none of
them bunching
I do like to tend to have two to 10 million votes way that that's
possible.
It's Yeah, could be could be. You don't know.
But you probably result in the bombings. There's a lot a lot in
that clip. That was a great clip. And we'll finish with
that. And
that's it for the deconstruction say Sean for today we return of
