Oh, I have to stand in line now. Adam curry Jhansi DeVore it's
Thursday February 6 20/25. Is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode 1200 14 This is no agenda.
driven the soju clips and broadcasting live from
opportunity's own 33 Here in the frontier of Austin, Texas
capital, the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're mulling all kinds of
things. I'm Jhansi Devorah, Raglan Buzzkill. You're mulling.
Pulling over.
Oh my darling. Oh,
we're mulling
maleeh Isn't isn't mulling me this is something you do with
wine. So let's
start with the Super Bowl prediction. You almost had it.
I know. And remember that I said that I still wanted to root for
the Chiefs but that I felt I truly felt. And if you look at
the expectations, the way they set it up, it was going to be
empowerment for women that were women all over this place. CO
owners were women coaches were women. We had the the big
empowerment Jay Z rock nation Shakira JLo empowerment
halftime, and I blew it.
But you may you didn't actually, I mean, you you didn't go with
your gut you Hey, you saw mahomes Wearing a Trump shirt.
Yeah, that
that should have been the clue. I blew
it. That was the clue because the idea was we have Pelosi
Pelosi versus Trump. Pelosi versus Trump and Pelosi
represent San Francisco.
Well, I also thought the President would get impeached
Yeah, that was gonna happen.
Yeah. Hey, that was a good game though. I really enjoyed it.
Didn't care much for it. Oh, I the thing that bothered me
21 to nothing in the fourth quarter where I'm even just that
comfortable to watch somebody fold. I mean, this guy, the
coach of the 40 Niners did this before he was he was the
offensive coordinator where nobody cares joke. He was the
offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. What was the
biggest fold in Super Bowl history?
The problem I had with it was the technical aspects. I was
sitting down waiting for I want my player stats flying and
windows. I want to Illustrator's. I want all I want
to feel good about the technical production of the show, and it
was sparse. Now, maybe football fans like that more, but I
thought it to be very, almost low budget. I'm not kidding you.
You didn't get that at all.
I didn't think about it, but because I prefer just no sound.
But I understand what you're saying. And I think you're
probably correct. And I think for the bulk of the public who
doesn't really follow football that closely just go to watch
this one game, and then they watch the halftime show. And
then they say to themselves, Oh, there's a second half. You
included? Yeah. And yeah, I agree. 100%. Now that you bring
it up? Yeah,
it was it was just lacking. Also, the commercials were more.
I have a list of my of some of the commercial issues. I had to
we have to talk about this at least for a second. Since it's
gratuitous. Yes. And anyone who does a podcast or broadcasts a
radio show or anything in between this talk about
Superbowl commercials.
Oh, that's right. That's kind of the law, isn't it? We have to
talk about it.
It's the FCC. Well,
I there was, I don't think there was anything I like nothing
stuck out like, Wow, that's so great. None of
it. Okay, here's the problem. What was with all these
callbacks to the 60s and 70s? How old was this audience?
That's a good question. I don't know maybe that's what they sold
it on an older audiences. I mean, that for sure. We know
that it didn't really do any better than last year, which was
already down from the year before. So it was kind of I
mean, 98 million people is not bad for anything. It was all all
the all the old 98 million people.
But they had a they had a lot of interest. screwy stuff in the
Google ad was creepy. That was like enjoyable because it was so
bad. Which
one was that? Which oh my gosh, that was horrible.
Trying the worst ad where I think it was the worst ad. Yeah,
explain it again. I don't remember. I remember I just
remember my notes. Horrible. Worst dad ever creepy. Google
was not effective in terms of memory. No. Then there was the
couple of a couple of these things. What was the point of
bringing Ric Flair? I mean, there's a reference to the 70s
There's a breakfast of Fargo the movie?
Well, that's because the new series of Fargo is coming out
those just okay, well,
Bob, I'll take that Yeah. Then there was a whole Snyder's whole
references. These old references. Who I've got written
down here whose live li ve peanut ad dropped out. Oh yeah,
they're gonna drop the peanut dead peanut ad for the baby
peanut. Because it Colby but they didn't do that. Oh, they
also starting to call this is this okay, let's we'll I'll just
wrap it up with this please. All of a sudden I see there's a
bunch of 5g, agile 5g.
Yes, a lot of 5g and everyone was touting that they're going
to connect the country.
But here's what bugged me. They're now touting 5g as Ultra
wideband. Ultra wideband is something
very something very else and very little
spread spectrum style of of communication. And it's very
specific. It's also used for ground penetrating radar.
It's actually guides the protocol. It should go with 5g
right to hook an entirely different protocol.
Everything's different. Yeah. So they're stealing the name
because they can't get any traction with 5g.
Yeah, possibly. I mean, do you remember was that Verizon? Or
was it T Mobile? Who was touting that? I don't recall.
One of the two. I don't know, either. I didn't write that part
down. I was just so irked by this I just dropped bah, bah,
bah. Alright, that's enough.
Yeah. I mean, it really really seems
like the ads suck boy, but the halftime show was very, I
mentioned to my daughter that it was a bunch of because I saw the
analysis of the of the woman who does his analysis is who I think
is the amazing. Polly to be honest about she has the same
voice. She breaks down the Super Bowl Halftime Show is a cult
satanic, whole satanic message to get people into global
governance.
Well, the halftime break good, I'd like to hear it. Well. Part
of that was there I mean, the halftime show was part of this
Jay Z deal that the white racist NFL owners put together you
know, when they had that kind of rub out the Kaepernick stuff and
they brought Jay Z and and Roc Nation so he was the consultant
and and here's the only thing that and I spoke to many
different women about this including my own life. I say I
kept hearing empowerment, empowerment, empowerment,
empowerment. And I give to men to me, it's like doesn't seem
really empowering. When you're hanging on a pole, I get the
idea of JLo is movie which I liked was a pretty good movie.
And without a doubt, the physical effort and still being
able to sing mostly all live certainly on Jennifer Lopez's
part was incredibly talented, incredibly professional, really
good. But I just like if you if you're setting us up to be ready
for an empowerment message, you literally had a promo or
commercial where there's two teen football teams once kick of
the other ones asked that the helmets go off its women. You
know, there was a lot of this and then just seemed like, okay,
and from the women's perspective that I've spoken to, like Well,
yeah, that's that you can be sexy and be empowered. Oh, my
God. All right. Make sense? I guess it was nice to look at for
me, otherwise you
as women displayed as sex objects once again.
Yeah, but if you say that to any woman, you get real pushback.
Yeah, I didn't get any pushback from Mimi. Well, I never said it
to worry. That's beside the point.
She actually watched the game I was kind of surprised. Well, I
enjoyed the game. She was also stunned when I gave her the the
cult satanic message. Gosh, yes.
bullcrap. Yeah. Well, there was there was some stuff there were
the Puerto Rican flag and the American flag. And so I don't
know if
part was that all about? Nobody
explained that. Well, Puerto Rico's Well, I can I can connect
some dots if you want. Puerto Rico, we actually got a note
from one of our producers. Let me see this would be under 2020.
Yes. Got a note here. Adam, as you know, Puerto Rico in Puerto
Rico, we American. We are American citizens who cannot
vote for the president of the United States. But here we can
vote in the primaries to select the candidates this year. We
could do this up. This year. We will have the Democratic
primaries on March 29. and Puerto Rico will send 51
delegates to the Democratic convention that's more than
Iowa, a delegation larger than the delegation of 20 states at
this moment, Bloomberg is the only candidate which adds in
local with ads In local TV and radio, and it seems he's
investing a lot of money, since you can watch and hear the ads
frequently on shows with the best ratings. When Mike
Bloomberg, he has them and that's really bad. I mean, even
I know that that's really bad Spanish.
Really bad coach.
So then, you know, he did have an ad, he had an ad on my
Spanish. He had an ad in the, which I thought was also kind of
weak. Maybe that had something to do with it. But you know, the
whole it's miami miami has a different vibe. My real question
was if you have JLo and you have Shakira, both very accomplished.
Who was the dude who came on? I could have done both acts. I
didn't even look it up. They're so annoying. Like what is this?
Douchebag I don't know who I can go up there and do that. The
invite me I'll put on the silver suit.
I was wondering about that. The guy shows up out of the blue.
And it maybe wasn't even supposed to be there. Let's
think about it. Most phones.
I think. I think he
was making them up.
Let me see who was the guy in the Super Bowl. I would expect
the troll room to have that for me already. But no. J J Balvin.
J ball vet J boven. Was his name. This? Yeah. Well, he
ruined everything. And if there's anything that was ruined
the best part? What is going on with that? But you know that
dancing and then singing? I would that's good. I mean,
that's that was impressive.
I couldn't understand a word of it.
We got to we had a snow last night here in Austin. Yeah,
we everybody in the world saw your wife
Tina with the snowball. They keep her trying
to make us she's from Chicago. And she can't even make a
snowball and then she doesn't even know how to throw it. What
was that all about?
I think what you saw was a very lightweight snowball to still
kind of give it a little idea that there was a snowball and
she just tossed it she's very she can throw a ball she's from
Chicago she will kick your ass so be careful Yeah, well you
know how they are
I wouldn't get that impression from this snowball toss of hers
gosh yes no yeah,
it's freezing
that all about I don't
know man global warming likely must be something like that. I
don't understand is crazy.
Yeah, we never get snow here and we're at a higher
latitude So one other thing that was just odd but I guess it's
never been a thing in the NFL is brought home my home the
quarterback for the Chiefs which is named against my homes you my
home.
My home yeah hold my hands back to my home. My home
back to my homes. He He's black but he was not touted as the
third black quarterback in history to win the Super Bowl at
all.
I don't believe that's true
that he's not black.
No, I don't believe it's true that he wasn't a tattoo because
I remember seeing a couple of
you know what I mean? Compared to previous Super Bowls has been
a huge
deal keep doing it fourth the fifth the sixth
This was the third to win.
Yeah, I know but it's there's already been a couple of guys
before him. Yeah, too. Yeah, you got to do it everyone the fourth
guy comes at some point you got to just give it up and say hey,
you know blacks can play quarterback too. It's not like a
crazy idea that one would win
if Justin i Oh, okay. You know what? Whatever fine
I really don't care for it sports community Yes.
Well, I really don't care
I'm surprised you watch the game No, I love the game and get his
name right so there you have it. That sounds to us. What
do you mean? Yeah, what's his name? Bill Dick All right. So
then we had Oh, man, what was the next event was the next
event was the the Iowa caucus of course.
What a fiasco Hey, listen to you want to hear a fiasco? I got one
of the clips from the Iowa caucus under and ask Adam. Oh,
okay. Did the idea is you got to see if quick you can come up
with this guy's name this guy? Well, I'll tell you, there's
something more important than let's assume it's Pete
Buttigieg. Okay. It
you know, something, you know, something? If you had told us
one year ago that we're going to come in third in Iowa, we would
have given anything for that. And you know, something, you
know something? Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom
Harkin. We're going to South Carolina
and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico.
We're going to California and Texas and New York. And we go to
South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And
then we're going to Washington DC to take back the White House.
Well, the Yee ha of course, the Dean scream gave it or gave it
away.
Yeah, it realized that was an Iowa
Oh, interesting. I didn't either really
well, I you know, why which would scream.
Now. It's something that I kind of bumped into by accident when,
when, of course, we and actually I, I sat through the entire from
start to finish, well start to polls, the caucus polls or
whatever they call them closing. And I watched as many different
breaks, I'm switching around. And of course, I watched more
MSNBC, it was probably MSNBC, CNN, then some Fox but MSNBC, I
think they really had the, their top crack team on it. If they
wanted to really understand and there were some rule changes.
And it's it in a way I kind of liked it, it seems like it seems
like a very democratic process where you're, you're arguing
with you and these sometimes it's groups of a couple 100
People with your neighbors, you know, people from around the
neighborhood, and you come in with your first choice and your
second choice and, and it's kind of like a horse trading market
type idea. And I'd like watching that, and that had interviews
with some young people, 17 year olds who will be eligible to
vote in November. So they're coming up on 18. And they were
all excited. And like, Oh, this is really cool. It's that kind
of democracy and process and, and then of course, it all
started to fall apart as the results didn't come in. Now, we
know a lot more about what probably happened, at least
technically. And what I was lucky in finding was a January
15 interview on NPR, or a piece actually with the with a couple
of journalists, which specifically mentioned this app
and how it was something incredibly new. In fact, here's
the intro to their piece.
The upcoming Iowa caucuses represent the first in a year of
big tests for America's democracy F
big test big test for America's democracy or
Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. In
fact, NPR and Iowa Public Radio have learned that Iowa State
Democrats are going to use a new smartphone app to help run their
caucuses. We're going to talk more about that now with two
reporters. I want to start with you first. Just remind us how
caucus I
noticed like cut the reporters introduction out It's so
annoying. Hugh, first
just remind us how caucuses work and how an app would be involved
this time around. Yeah, so
caucuses are very different from a primary. There are no ballots,
there are no voting booths. Iowans will physically go to
different community centers all across the state and physically
show their support for a candidate by standing in a in a
different part of the room. And so as far as this app, the party
is hoping that it will help precinct leaders be able to
report their results more quickly. Those leaders will be
calculating how many delegates each candidate wins based on the
support in the room. And so having an app the intention is
that process will happen faster and local leaders will have help
in calculating those numbers.
So I thought that it was working fine by the way. It was working
fine before this app came along.
Well yes, this I don't think we can add much more commentary or
color to the to the issue of the app and what was working or
wasn't working in fact, I believe that the most damage the
Democratic Party did with this failure is to their befriended
news media who were super annoyed they spent four or five
hours the first night alone filling time and I you know that
like crowd was supposed to be out of here and 1111 I can be
out here I got dinner plans and this and that was
right this is under under this is not normally taken into
account. You're absolutely right. They got they had they
got grumpy, they got fine iOS, you got it you got a schedule
you know what's what normally goes. And now because the app
you're gonna get out of there sooner you may be able to float
around in the nightclubs, but NPR
and Public Radio International to their credit in this in this
piece from January 15. They already had done some work and
there was definite questions about the app.
Miles. We've talked a lot about cybersecurity since the 2016
election. Give In that cyber attacks were part of Russia's
interference. How big a deal is this, that our Democrats are
going to try and use this approach in 2020?
It's one thing to introduce a new piece of election technology
without really any practice beforehand. And then it's
another thing to introduce that piece of election technology.
without giving any security details about it. We know very
little about the specifics of this app. We don't know who
developed it, or who wrote the code. We don't know what sorts
of security tests have been performed on it. These are the
two basic questions that any security expert would ask when
confronting a new system. And the Democratic Party says
basically, they're not going to provide any of this information
because they're scared, it would help hackers. But experts
actually say that that secrecy doesn't help against hacking at
all. Here's Betsy Cooper. She's a cybersecurity policy expert at
the Aspen Institute
basic transparency around how it was built, how up to date, the
security of the app is and how it's been tested. All could be
made publicly available with little cost to the DNC.
And this is what probably one of the main things when we talk
about democracy online, which John you and I are really
against for? Well, for this reason, being one of the many,
it's just not a good idea. And typically, you do want to open
source your code, you know, at least have enough available so
people can see that there's especially if it's an app or
something that could be nefarious. This, I think is the
gem here, where they're going to talk about this security amongst
themselves. And I think with the with the Iowa Democratic Party
chair,
Kate, how are these concerns being addressed, as you said,
this app is focused mainly on reporting caucus results, could
the election results be for instance, change remotely.
So because of the way the caucuses work, there are 1000s
of witnesses who are seeing the results play out in these caucus
locations. This year, the party is also using preference cards.
So there will be a paper trail involved, that could be
referenced. So the idea of the results being tampered with that
could be overturned. There will also be contingency plans that
the party has set up. Troy price, the head of the state
party in Iowa, says there'll be a hotline for folks to call in
if the app doesn't work. For whatever reason, if there
is a challenge, we'll be ready with a backup and a backup to
that backup and a backup to the backup to the backup. I mean, we
are fully prepared to make sure that we can get these results
and get these results in accurate.
And I think this is the potential end of show ISO
backup and a backup to that backup and a backup to the
backup to the backup fired
you're fired. Dude, that's what you are backup to the backup and
a backup to that backup to
the backup backup and a backup to that backup and backup to the
backup to the backup.
Are you kidding me? This guy? What a moron.
That is dumb, stupid. Well, you know, that's why Bernie as
approach has to Congress's approach Bernie didn't get
enough people to do this. Had a Bernie man a Bernie bro at each
of the caucuses taking down notes so they could do you know,
verify that they weren't going to get screwed over? paranoid
about this. And it turns out that they were screwed over by
at least 500 votes here and there.
I'd like to pull it all together got one last clip from this NPR,
NPR piece. And then I think I may know what's going on.
There's a couple other things we should look at. But this was
close this out,
there are a couple scenarios to look out for here. A successful
attack could potentially lead to the wrong winner being announced
and then having to be retracted. Which would obviously lead to a
lot of questions about the elections legitimacy. An attack
that didn't even break into the system could still potentially
bring it down, which would obviously lead to delays in
reporting and a lot of confusion and all these individual
precincts. And then there's the possibility, you have to
remember that this app is going to be downloaded on the phones
of almost 2000 party and caucus leaders across the state. These
are personal devices that have emails, passwords, text
messages, photos, and Russia has already shown an ability to
weaponize information that they have hacked and stolen. They did
this leading up to the 2016 election hacking John Podesta's
email account and weaponizing those emails, we just do not
have enough security specifics about this app to know how it
will protect against that same sorts of hacking this time
around. Yeah, I
really love that not once not a single time. Did anyone even
speculate for a second that it could be Russians? Isn't this
exactly what we were told they would do?
Well, they could have been the guys who designed the apps for
all we know. Well, I just stick him to such a secret. Thank you,
Democrats. I do have one clip about this. And this is kind of
another clip that kind of wraps things up for the ending that
makes more logical sense than anything. This is a guy who does
a PBS show in Iowa, the PBS, our PBS Iowa hour or something like
that, and he's being he is being interviewed by Judy,
anything you want to add about how Elizabeth Warren or how Joe
Biden did?
Yeah, but this is bad news for Biden. And it explains why his
campaign is complaining the loudest about the delegate count
today, a fourth place. There's never been four tickets out of
Iowa. This is not a good showing. Now, maybe it will
change. And this is all tentative, as you've noted that
62% Maybe he does better in rural areas, but it's not very
good news for Biden, this isn't give him the the momentum that
he needs to raise, desperately needed money to stay in this
race. And Elizabeth Warren, I think this halter slide, she had
peaked at one point, and then took some hits in debates. And
so her campaign was really trying to get some momentum
again. So a third place she lives is to kick take the
argument on to New Hampshire.
And just in a few seconds, I heard you say you do think this
may be the end of the caucuses in Iowa?
Yes, I think you the criticism all over the country is this is
not a good way to do this. They should go to a primary system. I
expect there'll be a big discussion nationally and the
Democratic National Committee and I think there'll be a
discussion in Iowa as well, about whether this state
shouldn't in fact, go to primary like most states,
it will have to see what happens in New Hampshire. But it appears
that my prediction of impeachment over we're dropping
Joe Biden could come true.
I'm fearful that this is true. Yeah, no,
no, let me just reiterate. The idea is they kept Joe in there,
despite the bumbling and everything else. And he really
was not running on a lot of money. Apparently, a lot of he
doesn't have a lot left, I had to have no idea. But that's what
the word is. And once the impeachment is gone, you no
longer need the political opponent of the President to be
involved in that story. So now they tossed them, and rightly so
they're tossing them right back where they were, he should have
stayed to begin with. It's sad. But come I will,
again, I am going on the basis of the people who are in the
Democratic Party at the upper echelons who I follow on
Twitter. And they're all backing Biden to an extreme, and I still
think they're going to try to shoehorn him in. Now, I should
mention that this guy who predicted the end of the
caucuses, this is interesting, because there's been other
caucus states, and they've all fallen by the wayside. And this
may be the last to go in, it's easier to control to manipulate
a primary, I think, than it is a caucus situation where you
actually see people saying one thing or another bird, that's
why Bernie put his people there to do a real head count. I think
primaries are more easily. And I think this may have been the
goal. If you think about it, was it possible that this app was
designed to screw up to think so badly, that they're going to go
to the more easily manipulated double? Primary? Is that
possible out
here? Here's what I was thinking the app could be just a total
distraction. And the fact that they think as of this, this live
broadcast, I don't know if 100% of the information is in yet. It
wasn't last night. I think the fix was in with the rule change.
And there were what was new this year, what I understood is they
would also have the raw results. And by everybody's account,
Bernie had more people turning out for him. But the way votes
were allocated, if you were, quote, viable, and you had 15%
of the first round. That's how the delegates which is really
the only thing that was being reported by the and five of them
was the delegate count, and the percentages of delegates, but
not the actual, what you would call the popular vote. And I
think that was to be obvious, or maybe there was so much focus
was supposed to be put on that, that no one would notice that,
you know, they could definitely tap Bernie down by giving, you
know, by taking or having operatives for all I care. It
doesn't take much to have someone who's not viable pop
over to PSI. Pete. I mean, this is, this is easy stuff. And it
was in, in plain sight. I think that's that was the genius of
it. The app probably wasn't meant to fail. But it was meant
to focus people more on the results as desired, ie the
delegates, and not the completely new and transparent
raw vote, which is what the Bernie Bros were counting and,
and what ultimately everyone was really pissed off about. In
fact, it became such a big thing Simone Sanders was really she
was grilled for CNN. As far as we can tell their job is to
discredit Bernie Sanders. It started with the you told
Elizabeth Warren that a woman couldn't win win the
presidential election, that canard and then with the
campaign A manager or one of the campaign managers for Bernie
came out and said, We don't trust that we don't trust the
results at all. And listen how Simone Sanders who used to be
with who she was with before,
I don't know
what she would buy, maybe she was with Bernie and now she's
with Biden, let's listen,
let's compute you believe the result, the app that the I was
really hard the data that you're seeing, we believe there. The
data is waiting for two hours. Why did they say if the data is
correct, the Iowa Democratic though,
but this is interesting, because the Brianna Keilar, I guess from
CNN just keeps hammering, do you think it was accurate, but
because she wants someone to go on record and say it was rigged,
and this piece of chicken shit won't do it either.
They were unable to get the Presidential Preference cards
are very important. So all our campaign has said, and what Kate
Bennett? What I've known, Simone is amount
that I am going to reveal I'm going down a roof and you're not
answering the question, is this data? Correct? In your view? Is
it correct?
Luck, Brianna, I have not analyzed the back ends of the
data. What we are saying and what we have employed to the
Iowa Democratic Party are two things. One, we have to make
sure we get it right getting it right means checking, checking
again and triple checking and making sure that there is a
paper trail, the Presidential Preference cards, don't try to
paint this as we're trying to say this is some kind of
conspiracy theory. Okay. Is it a process? I'm
repeating what your communications director is
saying? No, no, no, no, no,
no process in our communications, because trying
to preserve?
Simone, we're gonna roll this down by a soundbite you guys
roll it right. And
what we think Do you have a process where you can't be
confident that the results that are being reported are
reflective of the votes that people cast last night in the
process? That's real concern?
Yeah, I think that was actually the Biden, probably, by two
things with Biden now, the funniest part? Yes, go well, the
what was just hilarious and showed how the mainstream news
media is complicit in ruining everything. So they're trying to
figure out how to get these this information into Command
Central. They're on the phone for hours and hours. And I think
this was one of the captains of a big precinct trying to call
through to the to the party and give his precinct information.
And of course, he has to be on the phone live at the same time
with broth over on CNN,
they tried to, I think, promote an app to report the results.
The app by all accounts, just like doesn't work. So we've been
recommended to call into the hotline, and the hotline has not
been responsive.
Any explanation? So I'm hearing Have you gotten any explanation
at all as to what's going on?
No, I have no, no, I'm just waiting on hold and do my best
to report the results from my preset. What
are you hearing? I know you're listening to a conversation from
the Iowa Democratic Party
This is a real coincidence, Wolf. I just got off hold. Just
so I've got to get off the phone to report the results.
All right. Go ahead and report yourself. Can we listen to him
as you report them? Shawn?
Yep. All right. Let's listen all right.
Okay, hi. Hello. They hung up on me
I've been waiting for over an
hour yes exhibit a day that's a good catch. To this guy's Uh,
hang on hold for an hour that broke off and next again. No,
they hang up on him. This is the dammit this is this is the
Democrats. Are the Democrats very bad. Very bad. It makes
they can't run anything. You want them to run the economy?
Well in this was no. And that immediately was the right wing.
That's Fox News. talking point was, these are the people who
want to run your healthcare. Okay. Yeah, sure.
This thing, this was a right wing meme. I think this is a
pretty generalized meme. Now when right down the middle. It
wasn't like a bunch of right wing nut balls. Yeah, there were
Yeah, that's well, that's when there were lots of them. Yes.
But you telling me no moderates thought that this was a little
bit skewed a little bit, hinky.
I don't live in moderates. I live in CNN, MSNBC and Fox. So
there's only that's it. Then I was hearing all of that on Fox
and now certainly not immediately on the other
channels but I'm not accusing you I'm just saying that seemed
like a, like an easy, easy target, you know, whereas really
what was just odd is that we're not going to question the
integrity of the security of it. It's all there incompetent. How
about hacking? isn't, isn't this? Who was it that said
they're going to do it in plain sight? The Russians? Oh, it was
Malcolm Nance. Key he predicted this. Yeah, I'll I won't play
the whole thing because it's a long clip, but I'll take it
about halfway. This was when he was on Joy re say,
well, that's just too bad. That's the result of the
election, Donald Trump wins. And the other party is left standing
there blinking at a president who now believes he can do
anything he wants in the natural national interest. So of course,
all of our opponents in the global threat arena, that's
North Korea, as you said, Saudi Arabia has a very vested
interest and keeping Donald Trump in his President of the
United States. And they use Israeli American and other
subcontractors to carry out nefarious hacking and
intelligence activities. This nation is going to be under
attack cyber wise, unlike anything that we've seen before,
not just this information, I think we may possibly finally
see people put their hands on the stones of the scales,
American voting machines, or tally machines at the state
level, wherever they can, and it will be sloppy, it will be so
obvious that again, there's nothing we're going to be able
to do about it, because one side will accept the result.
Isn't that exactly what happened? It will be sloppy.
It'll be obvious. Where's Malcolm Nance now?
Well, this just tells me that it's bull crap. The whole Malcom
Nance thesis is bullcrap. And the only thing that we're ever
going to see in terms of like Russian hacking is, is really
orchestrated, and not orchestrated by the Russians.
It's like just a big theater with because you're you're
right, and this is why you've been so baffled about this. They
have not even brought in the idea that the Russians, not once
which you, you know, did this just screwed up this caucus. And
it would be in the it would be right within this scenario,
because here's the Russian screwing up the Iowa caucus to
who benefits the most Trump does. Yeah, exactly. It makes
nothing but sense. But since their script says the Democrats
are scripting this, and it's bull crap, they're and Russians
aren't doing any of this. They can't they're not quick on their
feet. They can't ad lib, they can't go off script. So they
were flat footed. They didn't know that they had this
opportunity. If they were sharp, they would have jumped on that
immediately.
Or someone should have at least said the Oh, who's laughing
tonight? Vladimir Putin, that's who's laughing? That's some
something
just one of those in not a single one. That's because I
think no offense. I used to be a Democrat, but I think the
Democrats are stupid,
low information, voters. I have to two more independent things
that Emma from the Young Turks, she was boots on the ground. And
I think she was mainly in the Bernie Bernie camp and they have
a quite a connection there. Long, longtime connection to
Bernie Sanders with the Young Turks. And here's her her
feedback on the situation.
The narrative that I think should be coming out of this is
this plays directly into Donald Trump's hands, right. So the
Democratic Party has no cohesive idea when it comes to combating
Donald Trump in 2020. They want to nominate the status quo
candidate, a moderate candidate, as a corporate as candidate like
Pete Buda, Judge, or like Joe Biden. But they're unable to
coalesce around anything other than that, except for
kneecapping. Bernie Sanders every chance that they get. But
what they really needed to do was show that they were able to
be competent, and that they weren't the very corrupt party
and part of the corrupt system that Donald Trump ran against
successfully in 2016. And when you have this completely
convoluted process, an app crashing that they didn't test
before, and then just ask seven year olds, hey, work this app on
your phone, as a part of the process didn't have any of the
captains or people who were monitoring the precincts have
any experience with this app before? That just speaks to the
very incompetence that Trump so effectively ran against in 2016.
So we're off to a great start.
I thought that was funny. Applaud that line.
That was pretty good. Good way she was a very well well set up
here was good.
So it can really only be a total incompetence, which seems the
easiest, be it could be nefarious stuff from the out
side are one of one of the campaign's. But when you see all
the connections, huge Silicon Valley billionaires, Hillary
Clinton operatives, and when I say operatives, no campaign
campaign managers surrogates, it starts to become suspicious
enough that you could just say, Hey, what's up with these people
involved in the party to this degree and screwing up this
badly. And the woman who's in charge of this at not shadow,
but the acronym the $75 million. Super PAC, there's those that
was running that built this. You know, she is supposed to be the,
the Democrat, digital, you know, high priestess, and she's the
one that's going to make sure that whoever the nominee is
that, that we're going to out digitize Trump and, and his team
is sad is sad. It's sad. Yeah. Good start. Exactly. And we
can't we have to remember that just the day before. But really,
just the gist was the day before. Yeah, because it was on
Saturday or Sunday, the pole the most important pole from the
Iowa register. Again, it appears it was a digital problem that
some different wrong fonts were used. And therefore sometimes
Pete's name was omitted. Jake Tapper actually explains it
differently.
It's not just Trump is doing his own thing. And then you also
have a series of events leading up to even before we get to
Iowa, that I think understandably made a lot of not
just Bernie supporters, but supporters of all Democratic
campaign skeptical you want the Des Moines Register poll, not
the most, one of the most important polls coming out
before Iowa decided not to get pulled out.
Because they had a glitch mistake. And so they decided in
the interest. So this
is how this so when it happens in the advantage of the other
party, it's Russian hacking, when it's your own party, it's a
glitch. I just want to understand the terms to glitch.
And then last night, where it was at Lighthouse last night, I
don't know it's been it's been so many days, they really didn't
get the coverage. And I only heard about it through this
YouTube channel status quo, who reported on it. And you know,
that was, again, a data integrity integrity issue two
days after the caucus,
what the heck is happening with the results from the Iowa
caucuses? I know I started this video off with a smile on my
face. I promise you I'm not really smiling. Because it's
gotten absurd at this point. I just I don't even know what to
think. The Iowa Democratic Party released results after we've
been waiting and waiting and waiting. They released results
that got us up to 85% of results. Then all of a sudden,
they said they had to pull the results. Because there was there
were discrepancies. Oh, my God, what is going on here? Okay,
let's take a look at what they said. Before I get into what I
think about it. This is the Iowa Democratic Party, there will be
a minor correction to the last batch of results. And we will be
publishing our pushing an update momentarily. What you're telling
me it's here two days after the Iowa caucuses, you've had two
days to report these results that usually take about an hour
to report. So normally, in past years, we would have had results
pretty much right away on the night of the caucuses. Here we
are two days later. And not only are you slow trickling these
results, but you're screwing them up in a really, really
shady way.
So they went from 62% to 71% then to 85 and then had to
retract that additional that got them to 85% because the data was
wrong. I mean, if this wasn't at some level corrupt then I got a
wooden leg or I deserve one it was there is corruption here
someone is clearly doing one or two things. Certainly trying to
tap Bernie down the final results like what 1/10 of a
point of the delegates Okay, got it got the message. And Joe
Biden is you know, saya Nora, he's out see it and that's the
narrative now. Oh, he can't raise money. There's no money.
Joe is talking about a punch to the gut. He's done. He's over.
So this this was, but it was just like Malcolm dansette It
was so blatant, so obvious. And everyone just go oh, well, New
Hampshire.
That's it. Well, if Biden Biden can sneak through he will win
South Carolina. And if he sticks around, even if he doesn't
advertise and I think it revitalize his campaign, I'm not
giving up on Joe
No, that's okay. But I do want you to know that the players
don't think Hillary's doing it should jump in, but I'll take
Joe next because I don't think Buttigieg let's face it is not
going to get it because nobody wants that guy. But sprays, but
already that's one Bernie.
But But what Buttigieg is the story, he came out with a
victory speech. And it really was Amy Klobuchar was the first
one to say screw it. I'm going up and saying we did great. See
in New Hampshire. I thought that was bold move, and I thought it
was smart. The media component, completely covered that up and
went all in on the Pete Buttigieg. It taking, taking the
victory lap and then he arrives in New Hampshire the next day
takes another victory lap. And you know it. I don't think it's
related, but it's bad optics to have both. The Buda judge and
the Biden campaign and the Bernie campaign? Yeah. Was it
the Bernie I think so. Using parts of this company services
more like text messaging, it's not just money flowing. It's
just it's, it's sick. It's sick is what it is very, very sad for
the Democrat Party, for Iowans who are just I've been to Iowa
and the people in Iowa, by the way, racist. Everywhere. MSNBC
in particular, they kept having these Clinton people on black
women primarily. Well, you know, the caucuses are really racist,
because who has time on a Monday night to go out? You know,
that's white people. Black people don't have the time
because they're babysitting for the white people's babies that
the white people are going out to caucus. That's truly the
message they were sending. So it's sad.
Well, it's an embarrassment, that's for sure how sad it is.
Anyway, it'll be blow over again. It'll just go away after
the next round. But then they're going to have to get to
reanalyze that but I think Pete will do well, the next round is
going to be Sanders and Warren that looks like you're going to
take this and Biden is going to be again in fourth.
Oh, yeah, the Biden's out. He's done. He was nice. No, that's
that's that's me. I know. I know you fought. Hey, look, I was
wrong about the Super Bowl and it happens. And you'll be wrong
about Joe and I won't rub it in your face. It happens.
Yeah, you will. But yeah, it's not gonna Who are they gonna?
Who's gonna get the nod? Well,
times calls the shots. It's gonna have to warn I'm still
waiting for the Hillary swoop. I'm still all in on that. It is
so now Bloomberg is going to come in to do and you know, I
think people take him at his word. Well, I if I don't win,
I'll support whoever is in Oh, no, bring him in. He's got
money. Let's bring him in. Maybe and he knows apps. Oh, maybe he
maybe Maybe he knows he knows apps man. He maybe he can do it
for you. Does he know that? Very a lot about apps. Hillary is
still on the periphery. But anyway, that wasn't the end of
of the fun. would then we had the the impeachment this way
this was a jam packed week.
Yeah, the impeachment was good. It was
we got it. We got to do the Super Bowl simply unimpeachable?
And so went as planned, and they wrapped it around the State of
the Union address, which were probably should be discussed
first. Really, either strategy, three events or three events
took us one stood in time was five minute speeches or 10
minute speeches by each Congress. Guy. Yes, Gal. Do you
mean Senator? Senator? Yeah, got every senator got to deaq for
five to 10 minutes. And they all did. And it was you know, it was
like the worst it would took up a whole day or more. And then
they went to the State of the Union address, it took a day
off. And then they went to the vote for the picture where they
could yaxham more. And everything went kind of
according to plan. The Democrats were showboating as much as they
could. And it was exaggerated by the news media coverage. And
then when they got to the State of the Union address, we got to
see why
don't why do you want to do it out of order? I think it's
important.
Given the right I'm giving the rundown. We're going to talk
about when we get to the State of the Union address, we got to
see the President at his best in terms of producing a reality TV
show and it which had the drama of
you still pass it you're just gonna do it your way you want if
you want to talk about State of the Union says I have all these
clips set. Oh, no,
I'm not talking about State of the Union. Just you are your
character. Your detailer, let me stop because I got to finish.
And then we went to the vote where they let him go. And that
was the end.
When he talks about the status. Wait a minute. Now Yeah, you're
right. I guess I guess you're right. The vote was then yeah,
your true. True. So I think well, I want to just stick with
the with the with the final speeches, I thought that there
was some interesting things going on there. But that's
what we start with.
Yeah. Do you have anything?
No, I have I don't have much about anything. But the final
speeches, which was day, it was Monday. Yeah. And what I have is
a breakdown of Lisa deja Dan, from TV blasting the coverage on
PBS, to such an extreme that, that everybody that's ever been
associated with this show is dead, is rolling over in their
graves is extremely one sided. And this was on Monday before
the vote. And before the State of the Union. And I want to play
these and show you just how one sided and slanted PBS has become
without an eyeful.
Well, Gwen and and her mentor, yeah, but let's listen to this
as the beginning. I want you to listen to the she, what she does
is she says, Here's what happened today. And she's doing
she this is like before the State of the Union. So this is
the first day of the three day event. And she's going to play
some of the clips of the people that are doing their 10 minute
discussion and she what she does, and I'm going to show it
here. She plays Democrat after Democrat after Democrat after
Democrat condemning the president. A couple of
Republicans not supporting the president, but kind of
condemning the Democrats for condemning the president. And
that's the way the report went. Sounds fair. So let's start with
impeach Lisa D. J. One PBS
congressional correspondent Lisa Dejardin begins our coverage
at the Capitol. The impeachment jury is silent. No more. Sure. I
may begin. Mr. President, one by one.
Mr. President, I rise to voice my opposition to these articles
of impeachment.
I will vote to convict the president, because it is the
Senate's constitutional responsibility. Senators
took turns processing two weeks of arguments during which they
were forbidden from speaking into 10 minutes of remarks each.
Alright, so she starts off with the intro to the to the
presentation and she has two clips in there. One guy says I
object to the articles and the other woman who is the Democrat
is the President's guilty. So that's a little sloppy there.
And so now we go to the just she wrote rattles off 46 seconds
where the Democrats and then you'll hear after that clip 29
seconds where the Republicans listen to her. He goes on
clipped to the Senate
must now ask, do these charges meet the standard for
impeachment
over most Democrats, the focus was sharp, the President and a
conclusion that his push to investigate a political rival
was a high crime.
Donald Trump did it. He did it. He did exactly what he was
alleged to have done. He abused his power. He committed
impeachable crimes. He's guilty. There's no question about it.
President Trump took this action to benefit himself personally,
and not for the good of the nation.
What the President did was wrong, unacceptable and
impeachable.
Democrats have waited days for this honing thoughts in hallways
and in private, and so have Republicans.
Okay, now, so you can hear the vitriol on the side of the
Democrats. Now she switches to balance the report. He's so
interested that she switches to the Republicans and and their
counter to what the Democrats have done and she's already put
in the mind who's starting with the Democrats, the mind of the
viewer, the President's guilty, it's pretty obvious
and so have Republicans their focus, largely blasting House
Democrats impeachment process, the house chose
to skip the basic steps of judicial adjudication and
instead left straight to impeachment as the first resort.
There is no doubt that the House impeachment process was
partisan, politically driven, and denied President Trump some
of his most basic rights of due process.
That was it that was it was her balance. So we have no defense
of the President's just it's a process problem
and they say that we're Trump Defenders is looking into this
stuff and they're getting paid.
Now we go to the mixed at The aunt she was she wraps it by
mixing back and forth back and forth a little back and forth.
And again, you'll see the slant, completely anti Trump slant and
this is how she wraps
as it did in the trial, the witness question and the
decision not to call any of it permeated the air. With
Democrats bluntly critical
the Senate abandons its responsibilities when it blocked
efforts to get the complete truth here in this chamber.
As a result, there will be a permanent cloud over these
proceedings.
It makes people believe correctly in my judgment, that
the administration, its top people and Senate Republicans
are all hiding the truth. They're afraid of the truth.
To that high power charge. Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell responded with his own volley at Democrats.
I can certainly see why Given President Trump's remarkable
achievements over the past three years. Democrats might feel a
bit uneasy about defeating him at the ballot box. But they
don't get to rip the choice away from the voters just because
they're afraid they might lose again.
That party divide is evident even in the search for meaning.
Democrats concerned for the future unchallenged evil spreads
like a virus. Republicans eager to get to the future work
together.
We must we will emerge strong,
unchallenged evil wins.
And that's disappointing. For viewers like you.
I thought that was the most biased reporting I've seen from
them. And she did just a terrible job. She just cherry
pick the most vile stuff, she could throw it on there and then
had the Republican sound like a bunch of wimps that really
didn't like the guy and he was just worried about the process.
They're all process oriented, is nonsense,
I thought shifts final, final little. Diddy was interesting,
and I kind of knew why he was doing it. Which turned out to be
true this morning. And this is just a piece of of his final his
final plea,
but this has become the President's defense. And yet,
this defense proved indefensible. If abuse of power
is not impeachable, even though it is clear, the founders
considered the highest of all high crimes and misdemeanors.
But if it were not impeachable, then a whole range of utterly
unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond
reach. Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for
support in the next election, or decide to move to mar a Lago
permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country,
delegating to him the decision whether to go to war, because
those things are not necessarily criminal. This argument would
allow that he could not be impeached for such abuses of
power. Of course, this would be absurd. More than absurd, it
would be dangerous.
So now what he's saying is, is just absolutely absurd. But he's
saying it. I kind of figured it out. But it's obvious. This is
what you want to do you want that setting, although it's the
worst set, worst television set in the world looks like you're
in somebody's shitty bathroom with that marble behind you.
It's just a bad set lightnings bad shots wrong. But it's really
so that he can be turned into many, many, many political ads.
It is midnight in Washington. The lights are finally going out
in the capitol after a long day in the impeachment trial of
Donald J. Trump. You can trust this President to do the right
thing. Not for one minute, not for one election, not for the
sake of our country. You just can't be bothered, he will not
change. And you know it. History will not be kind to Donald
Trump. I think we all know that, not because it will be written
by never Trumpers but because whenever we have departed from
the values of our nation, we have come to regret it. And that
regret is written all over the pages of our history. If you
find that the House has proved its case, and still vote to
acquit Your name will be tied to his with a quart of steel and
for all of history. He has betrayed our national security.
He has compromised our elections and he will do so again. You
will not change him. You cannot constrain him. truth matters and
little to him. What's right matters even less. And decency
matters. Not at all. We have proven Donald Trump guilty now
do impartial justice and conviction
it's going to be scary this election season. Orange Man bad
did not throw the Bing Bing Bong Bong in there. That's the
visuals of course are fantastic. Throwing up Martin Luther King
and Obama. You know the good one was JFK. That's a political ad
against Trump
for but produced by whom you're right by the way everything that
shifted and everything he said especially when he was they had
the marble behind him was written as though is gonna go
into an ad
it was 11 films is the name of the outfit that did it there in
Portland I don't know who paid them I don't know there was one
little funny ISO that came out of the Schumer that Schumer did
some kind of stand up presser and he was orchestrating the
press and this came out of his mouth I'll do you and then I'll
do Okay, thanks. Maybe someone want that for oh,
that's a good catch. I actually got that whole clip I have this
part of it. This is because I have the end of it is I also
have as an ISO This is where's my Schumer clip. Schumer is
astounded.
no mistake about it. The drip, drip drip of evidence is going
to keep coming out. With each new revelation. Republicans are
going to have to answer to their votes. They chose to turn their
back on the American people and stand for a cover up they chose
to use ad hominem attacks and finger pointing Leader McConnell
couldn't even say bring himself to say what the president did
was wrong when you asked him a few minutes ago that's
astounding that's astounding it's pretty good it's pretty
good
that's why the other one I have I have that's this this is
competing with the one you already pre picked for yourself
yeah but the oh there's a 10 car train today is up I have this
downing ISO which you just played and then I have the yard
I so
that's a dead that's it's old. No, that doesn't come out you
cannot I'm sorry. There is just nothing that personally I think
can go above my ISO. But okay, I was gonna wait to play it at the
end of the show again where it belongs but yes, here
it is a backup and a backup to that backup and a backup to the
backup to the backup
I mean that's legendary that needs to be codified. Well you
know there's we'll wait we'll see what comes up
I'm big on your side on this because although I will say
what's it what's the clip length?
It's three seconds it is it is on the long side it is on the
long side.
But you're gonna want to set the precedent you know what's gonna
happen all right.
We can we have a choice? We can thank some people or we can go a
State of the Union then thanks some people I like I like to
tease but it's up to you.
I think that we can let me think for a second if we thank some
people What time is it? Okay, average is read by an hour
ladies and gentlemen we are making important production
decisions these decisions do not come easy
what was said if we're going to Thanks for people but there's
one issue that has to be district has to be at least
acknowledged you're supposed to say yeah, what's that? I'm
all ears
I don't have the spreadsheet up yet. Let's
talk about the state of
no no no. No, let's go to the let's go to the
and 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 John's for
you.
Good morning to you also in the morning to all ships as he boots
on the ground feet in the air subs in the water. And all the
dames knights out there. Yes,
hi, dames knights.
Alright, but you have something to say about the show art or
something? Yeah, it
was just making sure you were aware that I was saying I'm
good to go.
In the morning to the trolls in our troll room. That's no
agenda. stream.com is where you can join in. Troll away. We have
over 1000 Trolls tapped in jacked in mainlining to our live
stream as we speak. No agenda stream.com is where 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. You've got great podcasts commercial
free. Many on the value for value system. You can discover
them there. You can listen to people doing them live you can
chat with your fellow trolls. You can troll just troll just go
and join it to me. I feel like trolling who gives a crap about
the podcast. That's what it's for no agenda stream.com And
then a big hearty in the morning to the artist for our previous
episode that was 1213 1213 tidal avid Kung flu. Mike Riley who is
a pro as well and we have many pros who stopped by no agenda
art generator.com created the most obvious I think piece of
art which was a Super Bowl two helmets but It's really nicely
done with the logos you had the 40. Niners JCD helmet I had the
Chiefs AC helmet. It was it was perfect for the Super Bowl. A
beautiful piece. Pop like crazy. I don't recall if we had any.
Did we have any other contenders that were listening? Really? No,
I don't think so either. I mean, all of them are good you
actually
were thinking about his variation one of the same art
were used Miami Vice
right colors. Yeah, yeah, that was I'm kind of colorblind so I
think I I can't ever forget that can't see the you know those
numbers, the dots and you're supposed to see the numbers.
Yeah, no, I see nothing. I see dots. I cannot see the numbers
so far. Have
you tried those glasses? Those glasses?
I guess not know what glasses. Are you referring to?
Colorblind glasses for colorblind people?
No, I got I got glasses just for blind people. And I got hearing
aids and pretty soon I have crutches I'm just deteriorating.
Is this just what I have to look forward to John? Is this is this
what happened
on crutches yet? I'm not gonna be on cry was on crutches when I
was a kid I and I really know actually, that when I was a kid
was I was actually working for the air pollution district and I
broke my ankle playing pickup basketball during the day
during work day. Yeah, right. Sounds like a government gig to
me. I know, agenda. agenda.com is where you can find all of the
artwork. Mike Riley, thank you so much good work. It's
appreciated everyone else who participated. And we always look
forward to once again solidifying our position in all
the podcast apps, many of which do support the different album
art per episode. Because we stand out we pop. It's a fact it
works very well. It's a great piece of value that we receive
from these artists in our value for value network. And also
thank goodness, people contribute monetarily, often
with their coded messages in the numbers they send, and we're
going to thank some of those today. Right now with our
starting off with our executive producers for episode 1214.
Soares of hell gates at the top of the list ran at $33.33 from
Grants Pass Oregon, which I believe is Hellgate. Thank you
very much. In the show starts off his note he sent a note in
Hello crackpot Bosco Thank you very much for your regular dose
of sanity keep on doing your great deconstruction of the news
I see no let up in the insanity but we don't either we wouldn't
be doing the show. Please some karma for all the no agenda
family for this new year jingles Oh, sorry. Should have played
this first one to do this. Alright. Your pencil. Yes, we go

Alice's lucky numbers 14 Since 214 is not a show day I figured
donating to the show. 1214 was the next best thing sounds
reasonable. Bad. That's one of the ways you can do it. She
works a thankless job as a high school science teacher. Most
days putting in hours before and after what she gets paid for.
Then she comes home to feed the kids and help them with their
homework and finally getting to sit down and relax herself. My
job requires me to work away from home most of the time, so
she doesn't get much help. For me. I figured a donation in her
name to the greatest podcast in the universe was a good way to
let her know how much I appreciate all she does for our
family. That's sweet. Hopefully she's listening. And he have the
number of small things could help our situation. So a general

Oh yeah, I didn't want to do one thing. Rush Limbaugh announced
that he had stage four cancer, lung cancer, and which is my mom
died of lung cancer. So I have some experience with it from
close up. Not good. What What disappointed me though, is that
everybody immediately is like, oh, here live put it in
different way. I really didn't hear anyone say, Hey, man, let's
beat this. You know, you've overcome incredible odds. It's
like everyone's given up. The eulogies are already being
written. I found that to find that very sad. Well, I
actually tracked a lot of this on Twitter because I wanted to
put together a newsletter that shows a lot of the hate Oh good.
Oh my god. I hope he dies a slow and painful death that asshole
he supported by aphorism it's exactly what I read. It's like
come on man.
ever die that place Psalm one. I think one person put it
everybody that's saying anything about Russia at all as never
listened to his show. And they never have I mean, Rush Limbaugh
show is not
what they listened to it. They listened to the show. It's
they've listened to the format he pioneered because it's it's a
format he pioneer you listen to, you know, serious progressive,
you know any of any of these talks or channels, it's all the
same. He pioneered an incredible format.
Well, let's talk about that for a quick second. Talk should
moderate tide I noticed this when it happened is because I
used to, I worked a lot of radio as abusive substitutes hosts
here and there in the Bay Area.
And did you go by John C. Dvorak? Was that your honor, and
D. J. J. Everybody is DJ JC de
and the old school, talk radio when you get on and you take a
lot of calls? Yeah. And it'd be phone calls, and there will be
phone call centric people would call Ryan. Right? Right. Right,
then ba couldn't do that. Limbaugh didn't do that. He came
up with a new theory. And I think it was based on the fact
that he'd done talk radio for a while or worked in Sacramento,
he did some other things. And he noticed two things. First of
all, of course, he became very partisan, because the Fairness
Act was was repealed that he could just be a Republican,
right, which is what he did. And so he didn't have to balance the
show, like you supposedly had to do in the past. But the other
thing was, he noticed that call in shows, which is what most
talk radio was during the 80s, early 80s, especially in the
late 70s. Where you take a lot of calls and you'd kind of
interact with these callers and you'd be at get get and they
talked he noticed that there were most of the call ends
weren't as interesting as he was. And what and they were they
were boring in many cases and they were to ram ball and they
were hard to cut off and some of them are entertaining guys that
did talk radio would hang up on guys and make a big scene about
arrows suck and they hang up right. And that was always
entertaining. But it was again it was a gimmicky thing. So
Limbaugh found that he would if he just talked it was Talk Radio
One guy talking and yak, yak yak, he talk and talk and talk
and then maybe take a call to take a break, right? Repeat
himself a lot over the three hours a day, but it was mostly
him talking and giving his opinions. And that seemed to be
more interesting than taking a lot of phone calls. So he never
took a lot of phone calls. The other guys who came along after
him are the same way they they pretty much wiped out the call
and part of the show. And that includes Michael Savage who just
could talk for days. And the big chatterbox Mr. chatterbox who
can't stop talking is Sean Hannity. And that guy, I think
he goes three hours without taking a call. And that really
changed the structure of talk radio and turned out to be what
the audience wanted. They just wanted to hear a voice that was
consistent and GIAC and Adam and that's how Russian Russian made
$40 million in one contract.
And we are of course the no agenda show and when we have
anyone that is going through this we have something for that
and it's called the F cancer and I'd like to send one out from
from me and I think from you as well John to Rush Limbaugh
you've got karma
so I get I get to meet him once. And it was just casual. He was
ironically smoking a cigar
I've met him several times we had the same syndication
company. And he's very nice guy. And, and it was very clear in
the pecking order at the syndication company. There was
Rush Limbaugh and then really a whole lot of nothing then below
the whale poop. That's where I came in that I mean Rush
Limbaugh certainly in radio business is unparalleled on all
levels. All levels.
Yeah. Let's so anyway, back to the State of the Union. Now,
there's a couple of I don't have any clips set one and but not
from the State of the Union. I just have some observations. I
thought, I thought it was reality TV, we had its finest
Well, hold on. That's too easy. That that's, you know, like it
was reality TV. This was to just call it what it is. What is the
number one show in America? What is the number one show in
America? The Bachelor? What are the probably the top 10 shows in
America. You can use the television pundits can wrinkle
their noses and squint their eyes and say, Can you get me in
game? This was saying I'm not saying you are I'm not saying
you were I'm saying that pundits, you're not a pundit. I
am a pundit. I want to stop because it's certainly from us.
Our producers deserve to hear a little bit more about what was
going on. This could not have been a better structured
television format, because that's what it was. And I think
that, once again, completely the establishment cuz the media
establishment underestimated Trump severely with what he does
with these things. It's so obvious. You take beautiful
stories from people. You connect that to the ED Tina said this,
actually, wow, he's taking stories from people and
connecting it to his outcomes. And it's a beautiful trap.
Because you can say, it was much like the Democrat rebuttal to
the State of the Union, which we can play three seconds up,
that was pathetic. But I will get to that.
Where you say, well, there's Mary in, in South Carolina, and
she's struggling, but when you put those people there, and then
you say, and this is their struggle, and thank you for
being here. We had the redemption story. Hey, man, you
were you were alcoholic on drugs. You came back, you've got
a job, thanks to the opportunity zones. Stand up other black guy
who did that? I mean, he was going after the black vote. He
was saying, and I think in an interesting way, also the Latino
vote who are not for illegal immigration, the ones that are
here legally. And you know what people said, well, it was just
like Oprah and Ellen with you get a car you get a car. You
know what? Look at the ratings. douchebags. Exactly. And you
sound like a elitist, not Yuja. You sound like a elitist
douchebags because you can't stand that he did exactly what
the American public wants. This is how we buy our washing
powder. Through these types of shows. He did a brilliant job.
And then who, oh my god, he gave the Presidential Medal of
Freedom to Rush Limbaugh. This thing has been given to Elvis
Presley to Oprah Winfrey to decide this is what this is a
presidential show business. Ribbon. And it's nice. It's a
nice thing to get. And I was like, Oh, this is a bull. Then
he had the Tuskegee airmen who coincidentally had been during
the he did the the coin toss at the Super Bowl. He had the the
marine come home. This was just a fan tastic show. People love
it. And, in fact, the only thing I want to play from a punditry
perspective is Van Jones, he did the same thing. I think I don't
know what I'm doing. Remember, it was before the election. He
completely sees what Trump is doing from the black vote. And I
think that in the numbers, the way I understand the numbers,
the Democrats need the black voting bloc, and if Trump can
shave off, maybe even three percentages of people who show
up to vote African Americans, because a lot of them didn't
show up. A big bigger percentage of the Democrats would have
liked to see in 2016, then the Democrats can't win. That is
their that is a very important block. They pander to it all the
time. And here's Van Jones to explain what he sees. And I
think he put everybody on notice, in the media as well as
like you guys don't see it. You're an idiot.
I think the last 24 hours had been a big wake up call for
Democrats. That's what I think. The Iowa caucus was a debacle.
And this was a very strong speech, and it shows what he
thinks he needs to do to win. And I think that she's very
clinical about this. I think you're exactly right. He knows
he's got to give a lot of red meat to his base, and he gave it
what for religious liberty, abortion, all of it, the
military, etc. But he's doing something else. And it has to do
with how he's going to manage race in this thing. And there
seems to be a trade off between the Latinos and the African
Americans. That's what you see. He went hard on the sanctuary
city stuff. That is very, very disturbing. It turns out
sanctuary cities are actually safer than non sanctuary cities,
the Cato Institute, which is libertarian has come out and
said that immigrants are committing less crime. So for
some reason, he thinks that doubling down on the anti
immigrant piece is a big part of the thing at the same time,
wanting the Democrats. What he was saying to African Americans
can be effective. You may not like it, but you mentioned HBCUs
are black colleges have been struggling for a long time a
bunch of them have gone under. He throw a lifeline to them in
real life and in his budget. He talked about that he talked
about the criminal justice reform, he talked about
opportunity zones, this cold choice, what you hear, listen,
wake up,
he doesn't have to be effective, you have to be more he states.
And the thing about it is, and I think that we got to wake up
folks, there's a whole bubble thing that goes on, we say,
well, he said s hole nations, therefore all black people are
gonna hit him forever. That ain't necessarily so. And I
think what you're gonna see him do is say, you may not like my
rhetoric, but look at my results, look at my record to
black people, if he narrowcast that it's going to be effective,
which means as we move through this primary process, we've got
to pay a lot more attention, both to what's going on with the
Latino vote, is we're gonna get a benefit in terms of having
them respond. And with the black vote is it going to be a split
off pray, especially for black male voters? We got to be
clinical about this stuff. We get so emotional about it, that
was a row that was a warning to us a warning shot across the bow
of Democrats that he's going after enough black folks to
cause this problem is not just a white suburban voters, he's
going to black vote.
And you'll remember, second commercial in the first
commercial block of the Super Bowl was a Trump prison reform
ad. These things matter to black Americans, African Americans,
and also, Trump specifically says historically black colleges
and universities he's he's really trying to communicate to
the A Das, American descendants of slavery, which is, which is I
think appreciated, because so often as well, black and brown,
yeah, black and brown people that live over there, you know,
minorities. That's not what African Americans want to hear
that they wanted to hear what Trump had to say. And I think I
think that was the killer blow.
Well, I'll go back to my reality TV comment. I think what was, to
me, the most interesting part about it wasn't these Yeah, had
all these guests come out. And they were all many of them in
tears for one reason or another, which was, again, a reality TV
mechanism. hism. But it was the fact that he would say something
like, we have to end all crime. And he would get all the
Republicans to stand up and all the Democrats to stay seated.
And man, even very well defined, because the women decided to
wear white. Yeah. And so there was like this huge group of
people that were seated with their arms crossed, and they
didn't show in other words, they didn't want crime to be stopped.
Well, there
was a lot of murder, even even women's issues, they weren't
standing up. They wouldn't
stand for anything, said one or two items. And Nancy Pelosi in
the back, she was the cue. She would be the one again, she was
on TV, she would be the director she would when she would clap,
they would clap if she didn't clap, date and clap. If she
would stand they would stand and she shows
that she shush them to a couple of times. She did
she shush something, and I'm not sure what it was. But she was
because they didn't throw
the camera. They were booing and gasping and sighing and I roll
in that was
so she actually coined there are no you don't do that. So she's
like the kind of the stage manager for the for the damage,
unfortunately, on screen the whole time. And did you see
pence? Because he knew that he wasn't squarely behind Trump. So
he was askew his his right shoulder was actually not even
touching the back of the chair. He was so tilted over to make
sure that
he could see he was looking for the lens. Yeah, totally. He was
like, she was over there. grumbling and then she was
chewing on her cut. Oh, yeah, she's
got to stop doing that.
She's chewing away. She looks terrible. And so that that to me
was the best part which was the get that a yes. Yes. We're first
peace and prosperity. Yes, we are for peace and prosperity
while the Democrats were sitting on their hands. No, we're
against peace and prosperity. We're all we're for murder.
Illegally may have. This was a it was a day where I think it
was a sucker. The he played a sucker. He suckered them. You
know what it was? It was orchestrated. So they would be
embarrassed. Oh,
yeah. And there was a couple things. First of all, his hair
was a helmet. He would turn his head and in the back of his head
would brush against his shoulder. And the whole thing
went. I kept seeing his hair move, like, oh, man, just a
little lighter on the spray in the back when he was talking
about the $2 trillion that we've spent on the military industrial
complex, and they cut to the generals. I mean, they should
have had thought balloons. They were like, Do you know what we
did with that? Where did it go, man? Well, first of all that
money, they look shifty. They didn't look very, very confident
in this $2 trillion. They've they put into something.
Now there was another element to this which was the quote on And,
quote, fact checking. And the fact checking thing is getting
really old and stale. And one of the things that you if you
notice he listed the fact checking, they really didn't
find a lot of facts that Trump said that were wrong. They were
just kind of questionable or borderline or Trump would say
something like 3.9 million. And they said, No, it was 3.85. They
were like, really, really, they're nitpicking about some of
these facts, you know, so they get added to the 25,000 lies,
I'd like
to strengthen your argument because I got a little tired.
It's actually more than 16,000 lies this, this is the thing.
This should be in the Trump rotation, 16,000 lies and where
and we'll get back to State of the Union. I'll just play this
little little bit of this clip. When I saw, I saw this clip of
Jimmy Kimmel, and that made me dive into it to find out
the moment Donald Trump put his hand on the Bible and swore to
protect and defend the Constitution, the United States,
that was his first official lie as president, and he just kept
going from there. According to The Washington Post, since
taking office, Trump has racked up more than 16,000 false or
misleading claims 16,241 lies. And that's just in public that
doesn't even include the time he told Don Jr. He loves him that
just so that goes so I went and found I wanted to find out who
has tracked this since it's such a thing. 16,000 16,000 is the
Washington Post. The number they are have tried to have a
database. And the number is currently 16,241. And of course,
it's not lies. They title this false or misleading claims. Just
the first page just to give you an idea of what's in here.
January 18 2020, Trump said, I remember 2016 The election, the
fake news, they said Trump was going to have a hard time
winning Texas. So that's one column. That's the false
allegation or the lie. On the right hand column. They have
their debunked statement. Literally one line, Trump was
always going to win Texas easily. So that's a lie. So what
he said there is a lie because that's their fact check. Trump
was always going to win Texas easily. Let's see a couple of
others. Since my election United States
before he go on, and I liked this list. I remember when some
people were talking about both Georgia and Texas, possibly
absolutely over but this but this is this is my point is it's
very subjective claims. More general. Okay. January 18 2020.
Trump said Since my election, the United States has gained 7
million jobs unthought of if I had said that in the campaign
trail, the fake news would have gone crazy. The rebuttal because
this, of course, is false. Trump cites how many jobs have been
created since the election, but not since the beginning of his
administration. We've got him since he took office, he was 6.6
point 7 million. It's not seven millions rounding up. Okay, the
next one, January, January 18 2020. I got it. The
unemployment rate is now 3.5%, the lowest in more than 51
years. The rebuttal from Washington Post for some have to
do the voice. For some reason, Trump always stretches that's
clarified. Throughout 2018 and 2019, a low of 3.5%.
Unemployment would be the best in 50 years, not 50. This is the
shift that's at the top of the list. Yes.
It's 50. Not 51. Yeah, because we because they lie because
they feel that when he said it, it wasn't a year that didn't
have the exact number. So it really was the best in 50 years
and not 51 That's one of the lies. Then you can go through
all 16,000 of them. It's stuff like that. It's called ant
fucking. And it's lame. Although very entertaining to read it, it
just you'd be it's crazy.
But it just points out the insanity of these people. It's
the Washington Post. But the Washington Post is insane.
Here January 18. They had to capture them. They the migrants
couldn't get over the wall. They had to send trucks and ladders
they got stuck on top of the wall. They couldn't get down
loaded up the with drugs on their back. The rebuttal. News
reports say there's no evidence to suggest that the migrants
were carrying drugs. I mean, they take it they take such an
odd stance. Anything to me. As a result of our reductions in
regulations, the average American household will save
$3,100 a year just on regulation cuts Wrong. It's not 3100 it's
3000 You're wrong. You're lying Trump. I mean boggles the mind.
It boggles the mind. So okay, he's doing great for everybody.
But he's a liar because it's not 3100 is 3000 and then come on.
So that that kind of stuff, that kind of stuff. Now, yeah, I
loved how he did some of his own his own stories. When and when
if you watch watch the video, of course, I was really only
watching Nancy. He starts and she's reading along. I
stopped stop that. You know, I never thought of that. Nancy is
a classic Hollywood scene stealer.
Yeah, she is You're right. I'm
buddies. Who was your your eyes? Can I no doubt you mentioned it.
I don't even remember seeing Trump's expressions. Because
you're you're you're watching
Nancy Nancy unless his hair moved. I saw that. And then but
Nancy, so he starts, he's and she's reading along with the
with the with the script, which around this point, she praetor
I'm sure you've seen that now on Twitter. There's there's
pictures video, but everywhere. She praetor the pages for her
dramatic tear at the end. So this is probably half an hour
before the end, she already had decided that this is what she
was going to do. And he starts reading this horrific story
about a criminal illegal immigrant who's you know, in his
rampage, he went on. But as he starts to go in, like California
is the worst with this. And of course, what he said was,
California passed an outrageous law declaring their whole state
to be a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants. So
we'll get into sanctuary in a moment. But as he's reading
that, you need to go back and watch her face, because you can
see she's reading ahead and see that he's going to read this
horrific story of people getting shot at close range, and her
mouth falls open. And she's she's horrified that he is going
to read this about her, uh, her jurisdiction basically her her
state and, and that's when the whole getting ready to tear the
thing etcetera. But the stank I was too late. I immediately
tried to register sanctuary.com It's all registered, of course.
I have a clip Scott Adams actually, I thought did a pretty
good job of discussing this particular gaffe. Which was it a
gaffe? Was it not a gaffe. And I thought this was pretty funny.
My favorite part is that when the President misspoke, he
slurred a word. He was trying to say sanctuary city, but it came
out sanctuary city, to which I said to myself, he's a natural,
he can make up a nickname killshot for a person, you know,
with two minutes of thought, and there'll be like a permanent
nickname that we all use. But he came up with a San Francisco
linguistic killshot. It's no longer just the sanctuary city
that has human feces on the sidewalk. It is quite properly,
a sanctuary city.
Maybe it's your seemed like an actual flub. But maybe maybe his
brain is so talented, according to Scott Adams, that his brain
immediately recovers with something that the rest of the
world would love. I don't know maybe
I have said a lot of one liners that just not I didn't mean to
say that came just from my subconscious. And then well,
subconscious is perfect pun and when a job well, and I'm pretty
funny. So one
moment of the speech. I was shocked, horrified, dumbfounded.
I mean, this was the lie. There was a huge lie that I don't see
at the top of the Washington Post 16,000 Lie database. This
was the lie of the evening
here this evening. It's a very brave man who carries with him
the hopes, dreams and aspirations of all Venezuelans.
Joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate president of
Venezuela, Juan guaido. Mr. President,
please. This he is not the true legitimate president of the
evening of the council or whatever he was his his so
called term ended, he held his own phony baloney swearing in
ceremony. He had to pretend to hop over the wall of the of the
parliament to make a scene about he's not he's just not he's not
the legitimate president. That was a total CIA, whatever. I
don't know what he was thinking. It really discredited a lot for
me, like, come on, and then guaido It was literally Obama.
He just looked like Obama, it almost looked like he did a
Vulcan salute. And maybe Trump thought it'd be funny to have
like an Obama guy in the crowd that he could wave to, I don't
know. But I was up, not the way I was appalled by that lie. I
was appalled by it.
Who, um, this may be, he may have gone along with the program
to get some kudos from the New York Times who credited as his
speech as a Grand Slam for some reason, I think you could have
just as easily taken a an analysis of this speech and
taking the opposite approach and seeing how bad it was as a State
of the Union speech. It's quite easy to do that. Of course, any
of these things is very subjective. Of course, since the
New York Times said Grand Slam, I'm thinking what what was the
deal here? What was the quid pro quo?
Brah? Maybe that was part of it. You're right. The I only got
just a little piece of the of the Democratic response, for
good reason, because I don't know what it must be something
with the the sound engineers that the Democrats hire, if
they're not screwing up, Joe Biden making sound all distorted
one channel. This woman she is What's her name again, John.
She's rushing governor of Michigan. Yes, she's
Gretchen Whitmer. Yeah, it was almost like you know, those ASMR
videos where people, you hear them do that, and they're eating
and you hear stuff. Close mic. That's what this was this woman.
She had white strands of sticky saliva in her mouth, and the mic
was picking it up
groundbreaking legislation to finally give Medicare, the power
to negotiate lower drug prices for America's seniors and
families. That was three bills. And more than 275 Other
bipartisan bills are just gathering dust on Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's desk.
Oh, it's just everything. She said every word. She needed a
glass of water or something. And of course, now the Democrats are
afraid to drink water because every single time water comes up
in in a rebuttal to a State of the Union. It's always a big
joke. Either you're drinking too much too little your spit? Yeah,
it's just like, it was the exact opposite of good television. It
wasn't even good YouTube ASMR it was.
It was really bad. And the funny thing she points out that Deb
all the Senate is not doing anything with Chris or involve
us in impeachment. And immediately I do have this
little there's a very short 45 second version of what she was
the impeachment. gavel slammed down and thing was over. There
was time left. So Mitch McConnell immediately, at least
took over the places everybody walked out. And this is a little
bit of what you got to hear if you were listening to the after
the impeachment just before he he closed the Senate. He's on
all by himself, pretty much doing the following.
I mentioned We the undersigned sentence with the provisions of
rule 22 is that this is what you're talking about. Yeah, the
standing rules of the Senate do hereby move to bring to a close
debate on the nomination of Philip Halpern of New York to be
United States District Judge for the Southern District of New
York. So my 17 senators as follows
from Santa Rita names, without objection, is unanimous consent
that the mandatory quorum calls for these cloture motions to be
waived. Without objection, is unanimous consent, the Senate
resumed legislative session and be in a period of mourning
business with senators from edge speak with up to 10 minutes
each. Without objection. The standard procedure consideration
of s res 493 submitted earlier today. Critical report,
Senate Resolution 493.
So what he just he brought in 17 more judges What the hell
happened? And everyone's like, already doing press interviews.
He's like, me slipping a few judges while we're still here.
Yeah, he
went in there and just blew away everything. I mean, there's,
well, this woman was bitching and moaning about the Senate.
Yeah, they're doing press conferences, and he's in there
running more judges through the system with unanimous consent
and yes, not without objection, blah, blah, blah. Wow. You have
to know what you're doing to manage this, but he was there
doing it. And then he closed the Senate. He said there will be
adjourned until tomorrow at 11. When I was done with all this
stuff. It was just it was unbelievable. Now,
so then we had the really the scene stealing moment without a
doubt, which I think was very effective in that regard. Pelosi
ripping up the pretense Warren speech that was just waiting
there for her to rip. She had three piles. So she ripped three
different times make sure every camera angle got one rip. That's
true. I saw it. I was watching very closely. That's what she
did. i By the way, the so called snub, you know, he didn't shake
pence his hand either, you know, and I wouldn't have shaken her
hand, it's your enemy screwed sawed off lady. And she started
by not saying, traditionally, it's my great honor to present
the the President of the United States in you know, in our
house, she didn't do that. So and who cares. But the ripping
of the speech, I thought was very effective, though it
detracts a lot from his message. People are talking about that
and not about some of the other things that happened. According
to this edited C span, montage, which of course is cherry
picked. C span has the call in lines you can call in as a
Republican, Democrat or Independent. And they opened up
the phone lines after the State of the Union. And this is a
montage of Democrats calling on the Democrat line. Again, it's
cherry picked, but it's enough of them see kind of get the idea
of what people thought of not even the speech but of Pelosi is
action. I've been
a Democrat for 70 something years. And what I've seen
tonight as a democrat party, I am changing my mind. I mean, if
I was to be a Democrat, before I'm elected for Goddang,
Democrat, never again, I
am a Democrat as well. But no longer will I vote Democrat. I
think it's outrageous that they sat there, when all these good
things are happening to our country, and how much we love
our country. And they looked like they hated our country. And
Nancy Pelosi the whole time she's sitting up there with a
disgusting look on her face. It's outrageous. I will never
vote Democrat again. And I'm sick of it. And my whole family
feels the same way. My husband, my friends are sitting here, all
former Democrats, we all voted for Hillary last time. And
therefore, never, ever will we ever vote Democrat again. You
know, it's always portrayed that the Democrats don't love their
country. We love our country, and we want to see it succeed.
But it appears to us that our Democratic Party has been stolen
from us by a bunch of communists. And no longer will
our family ever vote Democrat again. I am literally disgusted
with Pelosi and the Democrats behavior the way she teared up
the speech behind them. At the end, I was a registered
Democrat.
I have gone independent. I'm leaning GOP now
with the simple rip of a paper. Nancy Pelosi has pretty much
sealed the deal of a re election of Donald Trump.
Just a selection. Yeah, no one gave me any any other ones. All
the plants could be could be plants could be all that plants,
but it was on C span and at least three people watch that.
So it's influential. It's like a podcast on television,
basically, like a party. It's just like a party. So then, of
course, he had the impeachment vote the next day. And Trump, I
think he'd already done this meme before this, where it shows
Time Magazine, Trump 2024 2028 2032. And it goes up
to 60,000 or whatever. Yeah, it would vary. But But I had my
hair done on Tuesday. Yes, indeed. And, and my hairdresser,
is that she I consider her friend. She's been cutting my
hair for a long time, just actually cuts by coincidence,
the former New York Bankers hair who were only two male clients.
And she, I wouldn't say she's a Trump hater. But she's kind of a
Trump hater. She's not a, you know, necessarily did she's kind
of agnostic, but she straddles she's able to straddle in
different dimensions. But her dad is, you know, watches Fox
news all day. And, you know, so she actually said to me, at some
point, maybe she was a little grumpy. You said, You sound just
like my dad. I'm like, Okay, well, let's change that. Because
that's really a comparison. I don't want
to get a haircut from someone who's worked
well. But what she's very Oh, and I know, we have a good
exchange. But then she said something. Should I really think
he's a true dictator? I said, Yeah, this is what you're being
taught. You do really believe that as well. What if even if he
wins reelection? What if he doesn't want to leave after his
second term? Now, this is a smart woman. And I looked, I
said, You really think you know that this is just trolling
right? She says no, no, it really could happen. And then I
saw Bette Midler, who replied to his tweet with this, this meme
of him staying into the year 60,000. And this is all caps,
because Bette Midler just types in all caps. I guess. He pin
this. You think this is a joke, don't you it's not he means that
he will change the rules, and his enablers will let him if he
wins again, he will rule you until he dies, you die or both,
then you'll get you'll get. And that's the end of it. She could
not contain herself. And it's she really believes this. And
this is a problem. If people don't see this humor if they
really are taking that seriously. That's that's that's
a problem.
Well, I don't have this clip, but it was on on PBS newshour
there was they were discussing this after the impeachment and
there was Judy on the right. And then there was a law professor
from Yale or Harvard, some woman to her right across from her,
and then a guy who was I don't know who he was, to be honest
about it was maybe a Republican. And he said, well, then he
starts talking about that particular meme. He says, this
is another example of apparently Trump knows how to rub the
Democrats nose in it, and they and he just loves goading them,
because he knows all their hot buttons. And he says what's
really bad here is it's shows that there's a moment in history
where the Democrats seem to have either no either lost their
sense of humor, or have no sense of humor. And as they, as they,
as he's saying, this this woman, this law professor was almost
having a heart attack with a grimace on her face, and she was
shaking. I'm thinking, wow, this guy's nailing it in
any way. I said, even to my hairdresser, you know, that
would be considered unconstitutional. And I know
there's arguments that the Constitution says, You can Yeah,
no person can be elected to the presidency twice. Until there's
no question if you could be come from, you know, like, Nancy
Pelosi could become president or pence could become president.
You can only do that for two years. I mean, there's all these
ways. But honestly, if if it came down to Trump ends, his
second term won't leave office. I think I would go to DC to tell
him to get the hell out. I mean, that it's ridiculous for any
American to believe that that the American people would allow
that or somehow this Trump army is going to protect him in the
White House. No, it's not going to happen. I
have to remind people that this meme, which is an old one,
before the term meme was, oh, it's been around forever. Right?
This goes back to the when I remember it personally. From
Nixon. There was Mark Twain was out there one of the guys a big
who used to talk about the Kennedy assassination. And he
Mark Lane said Nixon was working on weren't running for the third
term. He didn't even finish his second term, but that's okay.
He's going to go for a third term. This came up with Clinton.
And this came up with this never came up with George HW Bush,
because he never got in twice. But this came up with Clinton
and Obama with George Bush and Obama to and Obama. That's
right. Obama, I
remember when Obama
I should have mentioned, this is bullcrap. But it's funny, and I
think he did this on purpose, knowing it's gonna get everyone
all jacked up. I forgot to
mention during the the sanctuary, sanctuary city. So
today, right after the stank of the Union, Homeland Security. I
think it's acting homeland security secretary said up the
Department of Homeland Security because New York State has
declared itself a sanctuary sanctuary state sanctuary state,
we are immediately suspending enrollment and Global Entry and
all other trusted traveler programs for all New York State
residents. Fantastic move because he's saying is like,
Hey, you got people who could be there illegally, who who have
can come into the country without being checked because
they've got Global Entry that's over in a normal now you still
get you can still do pre check. But all of the quick entry to
the country programs are suspended for anyone from New
York. I think that's fantastic. Can you imagine how many elites
Oh, I have to stand in line now. Oh, I can't just rip through the
oh, I have to stay in line with the plebs. Let's make some work
of this. Dammit.
Ted Bester Trump crap. Such a crap. Yeah, that was that was a
pretty a slick move. Yeah. But there's logic behind it. Well,
sure that of course, Trump says Trump says they're gonna pass it
because they had that get poor guy up there crying. But Trump
said the State of the Union speech says they're going to
pass a law that makes it you're able to sue a sanctuary city of
some illegal. Oh, right. Right. Right kills you. In that city,
you can sue the city, and for allowing that guy to be there
instead of, you know, sending you off to ice.
I've got to tell you this, the illegals it's a problem, and
I'll and I'll tell no, they also just allowed everyone in New
York State to have driver's licenses. Yeah, illegal or not?
Yeah, Texas does not allow that. But people drive without
licenses. And for the second time it happened to that
happened, was it Thursday after the show, as a little like
Vietnamese place, the keeper was working late. So I drove there
parked my car, in a parking bay. And a guy turns in, he's got an
old cab, repainted a kind of yellow green. And it's the paint
that the kindergarteners used to paint with, you know, it has
that kind of really rough feel to it. And if you if you pass
your hand over the car, the kind of the paint comes off. So yeah,
of course you turned right into the back of my car. You know,
I've got yellow green paint all over the bumper. It's damaged.
It's no scratch, the whole thing's a mess. No insurance, of
course. The second time, it's like no insurance. I'm sorry,
man. This makes me mad. Well, yeah,
but I have to assume that you're not the only guy in lists are
targeting you that's getting involved with these guys
floating around with no insurance. Nobody. Please don't
do jack about it.
I know. But you know, it's like, okay, so he paid me some money
and he can pay me some more next month and I don't want to send
anyone to jail. And I don't want to do that. But I'm like, come
on. Let's just you need insurance. You're gonna drive
follow some rules. Dammit. pisses me off. Apparently, well,
yes, it does. It does. It does.
I think your car there. It's your fault. Yeah,
it is my I'm sorry. I exist. Well, I think that it for for
the State of the Union. I think we've done everything. Um, but
there
may be a long clip. Oh, yeah, I got one here. There was one clip
that yeah, I wanted to mention that just to get some of this
out of the way this is a Minnesota collecting personal
information, because there they used to be a caucus state. Now
they're trying to be a primary state. And now it's become a
big, big to do because they're collecting personal information
to get you to register, play that clip and get it out of the
way.
See it's taking center stage just days before the Minnesota
Legislature heads back to work.
Secretary of State Steve Simon wants your information to remain
private. For the first time Minnesota is holding a primary
vote for presidential candidates. That means voters
here will have to declare a party to get a ballot. As it
stands now, that information will then be shared with all
four major political parties in Minnesota. Democrats,
Republicans and to marijuana parties
are no limitations in the law whatsoever on what the political
parties can do with that data, they could sell it. They could
give it to a vendor they could give it to a friend group they
could even post it online if they wanted to go Boo Boo. Boo
you think
that's marijuana parties that's
not that's not bad. That's a quick OTG segment one clip only
no jingles. This is what's come in
introducing watchman home by record, a first of its kind
license plate recognition solution designed for everyday
use. By utilizing your existing security cameras to recognize
the license plate of a vehicle. Watchman home gives you the

course, that only means that all these cameras which are already
used to surveil people, and police have access to it, and
it's all run by Evil Corp Amazon. Yeah, now we can have
you love license plate recognition, put some license
plates in there, so we know who you trust and if we promise
we'll just store that in the cloud. It's not a problem. It's
it's only a matter of time before we we as citizens will
have access to, to these back end databases. You know, the
face rotational recognition thing, same thing, it'll just be
you just walk past someone pull your phone up, it'll flash like
douchebag. Okay, let's leave you alone. I want to talk to you.
It's going to change things so dramatically. And people will
see it is great like this, you know, so that
the idea is that is the problem you wrote, you identify the
problem. Yeah.
So here's, here's how they're selling. This is great, the
videos even a little better. It's in the show notes and a
show notes.com You because You have your own license plate. Of
course, you want to put that in there and you pay you pay for
the privilege. So pay $5 for a random walk the company called
watchman, thanks to spy on you, too. When you roll up to your
house, it'll automatically identify your license plate and
open the garage door. This is progress.
So So in other words, if I'm a thief, and I know where you live
you and I'm driving around a car with green paint on it. I can
like back up block your way out you could be in an argument to
me while an accomplice of mine goes into the front of your car
bending down they can't see you can't see him takes your license
plate off, runs it over to another car puts it on real

blue ribbon and this Beto on a skateboard. That's the one you
got as well. I think so very collectible. what a what a
beautiful item. We'll have about 100 of these on sale here at
QVC. So well once you get in on this item right now and call
them but the twit magazine. I didn't even I left it in the
envelope.
Did you go through it?
That's Yes. I didn't want this laying around the house. So his
point of sending this it's twit this week in Texas and it is a
little magazine when he sent it to prove that the name twit was
used way before it was this week in technology. At the the
interesting well you would you describe this twit magazine
to twit well let's just say I'll put a pic I'll try to remember
to put a picture of the cover to an index newsletter if you're
not a subscriber you're gonna miss
you're missing oh yeah you're missing out if you
so yeah it's a it's a gay magazine for that highlights the
bars and activities of the gay men in the Texas area of Texas
very hunting nude men in this man
well buffed guys, this is a lot of chests you know this seems to
me it is legal to have a guy's chest like that exposed women
shouldn't have any law against that either. i But I digress.
Yeah, they do have all the bars listen to I didn't know he sent
you a copy because I was gonna recommend some of these bars to
you just casually trick you into going yeah,
there is one difference between twit the magazine and twit the
network. The magazine doesn't actually have dick pics. So
that's the big difference.
No. Oh, yes.
Saving it all day.
Brother is a very, very funny magazine, but it's extremely.
But anyway, the names are classic, like San Francisco has
a lot of really fabulous bar names that are pretty obvious,
but only idiots would not know that they were gay bars. Right.
But the one there I thought was the iron bear in Austin. One I
wanted you to go. Oh, yeah. Check out the iron bear.
Let's have a meet up there. That'll be great. That sounds
good. Oh, man. Let's see.
I hate to tell you this.
Let's do something about anything but Trump. Well, I
got the Weinstein if you want to.
Oh, no, that of course we want the Weinstein. We want
this Weinstein. I think that this clip? Well, before we do, I
do have a humorous clip.
This is why Weinstein isn't humorous. Well,
not as humorous as the unavailable for comment. Clip
from KTLA as if you might do something like six months ago,
somebody sent it to me, classic TV, a gaffe of not unknown gaff
to a classic stand up woman is out into the street. So we're
we're doing a story.
We tried to reach out to the man who died in this pursuit. They
were unavailable for comment might come back to you.
I thought we played that one already.
I know. It's still I played a million times. Yeah, the dead
person was unavailable for remains. Gene remains
unavailable, still,
we've checked is still unavailable for comment. We keep
trying
and he won't talk. All right now this is disgusting. And if
anybody has kids, that they don't want to listen into this
course that the kids don't want to listen to it is pretty
gruesome. This is worse, I think, than the other clip. And
I'm very quick. I think it's questionable. But again, this
went over the air. So I have to assume the FCC approved of this
sort of thing. Or would good but this is a another woman who came
on it was she's not really one of the complainants but she
might as well be. And this is she but she's backing up the
complaint that Harvey was a creep, we learned a few new
things. This is Lauren young. And she's being examined by the
prosecutor and told to describe
I'm sorry, this is once again a Court TV, Court TV dramatized
reenactment, and this guy transcript I just wanted to,
because it's important that we set that up properly. This was a
winning segment on the last show. So many people, even
lawyers, like oh my god, this is insane. And it's such a
brilliant idea why these guys don't turn this into a podcast.
They're wasting their time on television. Because this is some
of the best audio entertainment I've ever heard.
Well, this case is pretty it This is worse than the last one.
I did cut it down. This is from a six minute clip, I cut it down
to take out some of the foundational questions that the
lawyer would ask him to create a foundation for another question.
And a lot of it was pretty
I'm sorry, I want to so that when you hear the lawyers say
because there was some question about that from the previous
clip. Foundational what does that actually mean? Because you
kind of explained that there because it seems to be a
rejection objection objection,
just jump into a question without laying down a foundation
that makes it okay to jump into that question without without
getting the objection for
relevance to kind of the opposite of how we operate on
this show.
Yeah, we and so that and then, of course, the way I clipped
this down, I just pretty much put the good stuff. Hello. If
you want to call it good stuff, to be honest. We learn more
about Harvey's private parts that we didn't want to know. And
they paced apparently they mess around pictures of him on to the
jury and Harvey sitting there, this guy must be on Prozac or
something to be able to put up with this without just saying
I'm guilty. I'm guilty. throw me in jail. I can't take it
anymore. But here we go.
Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We'd left off this morning with
you having followed the defendant into a bathroom.
Correct. what point did you realize that you were headed
into a bathroom
once I made that last right turn and was entering the bathroom is
when I realized there was no other room outside of the
bathroom?
Again, what reason have the defendant given you for having
left that
bar area to continue our discussion about America's Next
Top Model? And did he indicate that he had somewhere to go at
that point that he had to go to accept an award with Quentin
Tarantino?
I'm going to put up on the screen briefly people's exhibit
87 and evidence if you could describe for the jury what
happened at the point you got into the bathroom.
So I followed Harvey in and Claudius behind me and as I
stepped into the bathroom, there's a mirror of straight
ahead and I look at it and behind me I see Claudia closing
the door. Harvey went straight to the left into the shower,
opened it turned it on and already started undressing. I
turned around and the door was finishing being shut. I stood
there in shock. At first I started nervously laughing and
shaking my head and I went to go towards the door to approach it.
And he was already naked at that point. It's the quickest I've
ever seen anybody undressed, and he stepped in front of me when I
went to approach the door with his naked body. At that point,
he was right in front of me and the door was right. His shower
door was right behind him. And it was also blocking the door to
the bathroom. And I could see a shadow through the door. And
underneath that someone Claudia was still standing there.
What happens next?
So as I approached the door and he gets in front of me, he
starts No, we're just going to have a talk here. We're just
talking like it was nothing that he was naked rinsing off real
quick. And I just come up here for just what I thought was to
continue a conversation and he starts approaching me. And I'm
backed up and backed up towards the sinks there two things. So I
turned because I did not want to look at his naked body and he
came behind me and unzipped my dress. He started pulling it
down. I was wearing a white dress with lace and another
underground the slip underneath it in him and zipped it and
started pulling it down and turned me around. And then he
was masturbating and grabbing my boob with his his my right
breast with his left hand and with his right hand saying how
am I going to know if you can act? And I said no, no, no, the
whole time that I had a boyfriend that I was not
interested. My hands were down.
Women were women. He was his line was I want to make sure you
can act. Is that what it was? Yeah. Oh, that's fantastic.
And then he was masturbating and grabbing my his my right breast
with his left hand and with his right hand saying how am I going
to know if you can act? And I said no, no, no, the whole time
that I had a boyfriend that I was not interested. My hands
were down to my side because the dress was pulled down towards my
elbows and my breasts were out. And at that point he went from
grabbing my breasts, my right breast to touching my vagina. My
hands were still down by my side. So I blocked him with my
hands and he continued to masturbate and ejaculated on the
towel when he approached me that he quickly dried off with and
dropped as soon as he approached me he ejaculated onto that
towel. What happens next? He left the bathroom first and I
stayed standing there in shock.
Do you remember anything about his body or at that point that
he took off his clothes? Yes. Can you describe that for the
jury?
I remember. His body was hairy had moles, like on his rolls. He
had some rolls and he had kind of a disgusting looking penis.
When you say that. Could you just describe what you mean?
Yeah, Objection overruled.
It had looked like it had been cut and sewn back on not like a
normal looking scar from circumcision. It did not
something didn't look normal. And I just remember noticing
that and I didn't really see on the SEC. It just seemed like you
know, the penis.
Did you at some point in October of 2018. Meet with people from
the LAPD? Yes. At that point. Did you attempt to describe what
you're just describing to the jury? Yes. Did they ask you to
draw a picture of what you remembered about the defendants
body? Yes, they did.
Wow. So first of all, you probably should have disclaimed
a little bit more this can be this can be triggering and
shocking to some who have been in a similar situation. Yes,
even our producers can be shocked by this. The sad part is
I've read there was a big article about his lawyer. I
don't know if you've seen this is the woman who defends sexual
predators. She's only ever lost one case. Reading through what
she says and how she interprets the evidence. He's gonna get off
and it's not a double entendre joke. He will not be convicted
of these crimes. There's only two left of this, which this is
one I think this is just one trial for these two women. He's
not going to get convicted. I hate to say
it. No, I felt that way too. Now the thing that was interesting,
in an odd way is that I believe that he must have had, there was
a period of time in this 70s
You're going to go into the genitals? Yes, I'm interested in
your take on this where there
was a period of time where you could have this operation to
make your penis longer. It was a it was like a popular operation
I think and I think Hollywood people would probably be
susceptible to this kind of thing because they're so
susceptible to anything. I think he had one of those operations
because the way she describes it it sounds as though he had a you
know, a transplant. Wow.
And no testicles apparently and scars. She never said that.
crappy looking. Well, no, she said she said
it was being fat rolls with lots of mold. It
was beeped out, but I think she said it looked like he didn't
have any ball sack. I think that's what the term She used
that was then bleeped out. But it's it's disturbing. Oh, my
goodness.
Well, this whole testimony is just and this by the way is just
I cut this down to three minutes of a of hours and hours of
different women coming out with these horrible stories. And it's
really, core TVs really has to be commended for bringing in
some of this changing the way these are presented. They've
done a really masterful job of and they this is not the only
case they're discussing those other cases, a lot of murder
cases and serial killers. They have a lot of different people
that they they're following but it's tended astonishing product
and you can get it on YouTube, as you said it's on Pluto. It's
mostly over the air around the country. On a subcarrier like
this is on channel. I think this is for me. It's channel 4.40.
It's over the air. Yeah, that's why it's 4.4 Of course, course.
Yeah,
yeah. Wow. All right. Well, that was a winner.
Let's see anybody Well,
no, it was a winner, but it's just cream from that little
Wuhan flu update or the Kung Fu as we as we call it. A couple of
producer notes. That are I think interesting to know how this is
being handled. Certainly in the United States. Adam and John, my
coworker Jerry and his wife you flew home. Last Thursday. Nobody
said anything to when they arrived in the US because they
came in from China. They thought someone from the CDC or the
airline would want information nothing. GE told him to stay
home for 14 days before coming back to work. That's it. Then we
have producer Steve Adam in case you're interested regarding the
economic impact of Coronavirus. Here's something anecdotal. I'm
a small manufacturer. I'm in the process of prototyping a new
piece and missed the Spring Festival aka Chinese New Year
deadline in January. That means the circuit board designs I
submitted after January 19 won't begin until the factory reopens
at February 1. But when I checked my order status February
1 was notified, the factory would now remain closed till
February 10. Due to an internal public travel ban basically
means I won't be able to do any revenue generating activity for
the new gear this month. I'm already prepared for boom bust
on the sell through side. But combining that with the supply
problem makes the butthole pucker a bit. Yeah, you know,
people often think only about maybe apple but there's a lot of
small businesses that depend on the JIT, the just in time supply
chain from China, and an anonymous note. The Postal
Service in Australia is telling its workers the virus can't live
outside the human body for more than two hours, so no need to be
worried about the hundreds of Chinese parcels that are handled
every day. The hospitals and medical professionals I've
spoken to say the virus will stay on a contaminated thing
dormant for two weeks and still active. I don't know if that's
true, but that's what our producer writes. Once activated,
the contamination is permanent and dangerous. I feel the
misinformed information postal workers are being exposed to
will increase the spread and severity of the pandemic please
help raise awareness. It's herpes for the lungs. Maybe true
I don't know. But I'm still kind of sticking with the you know
the the targeted nature of this that we're talking about on
another brilliant animated no agenda episode. Thank you damn
Jennifer. That was if I hope we get some real viral traction on
on that because that was one of the best deconstructions of of
the Wuhan virus that I think anyone's done anywhere and it
was hilarious. Hilarious. Yes, indeed. Hong Kong on veiling
electronic tracking bracelets for people who have Wuhan and
are quarantined to their home 500 already put out there. We
have officially designated camp Ashland and about Nebraska. For
quarantine, that is an actual FEMA camp ladies and gentlemen,
we're getting there. We're getting to the FEMA camps. Next
we need we need to have pictures of 1000s of body bags. 1000s
Have you seen the pictures though? in Wuhan, people are so
freaked out they're throwing their pets out the window.
You're not seeing that? Oh, yeah,
there's just dead dogs all over the place throwing their pets
out. They're afraid the pets? The information flow is not the
best I guess in in China? No, I don't think it's the best. And
and so they're afraid that their pets may be carrying the virus.
And so they throw them out the window. If they can't go
outside? No, it's not right at all. But that is what's
happening.
Within that skin, this story's not going away.
And then the one thing I wanted to bring up because it was
irritating me. And now Now it's kind of freaking me out a little
bit. When the when the China trade deal, phase one came out.
Now this was touted as a big deal, and you've got this 200
million $200 billion that the Chinese are going to spend. And
so I read through this document just to see kind of what it was.
And it's it's a very typical document between big countries.
I'm actually bringing it up right now. Because there was one
the very last line in this agreement. I'm just going to
scroll back to the PDF here. Yes, the very last line. Is it
not in this part? Is you know, you always have the you know,
what can? What can break the deal apart? You know, you always
have some kind of provision.
Yeah, the out clause, the out
clause. And I'm not sure why I'm not seeing it here. But the
clause says, I wish I could quote it for you verbatim. The
clause says that should anything happen to either parties beyond
their control, this would normally be called the force
majeure clause, but they don't say that. So this is like an act
of God, or anything that happens outside of the party's control,
then the parties will immediately get back together.
And basically, the deal then gets reset, which is not
abnormal, you know, what if all of a sudden, you know, we get
attacked by New Zealand, and you know, and we have different
priorities or whatever, you know, we have to change or we
have to sell our corn somewhere else, which is fine. However,
this agreement was signed on January 15 2020, when the
Chinese fully well knew they had an epidemic going on in Wuhan.
Then that I think, is not in good faith. They knew it and
they signed it with this clause in it.
Well, a lot of people say this, what the Chinese do?
Well, pretty low, if that's indeed what they did.
That's why the Chinese themselves won't do business
with themselves unless they're, you know, the person for pretty
much their entire life. Which is if you want to do business with
Chinese and you want to and they're legit, but you don't,
you can't take a chance, you have to do a lot, a lot of being
friendly in knowing them and making sure you're not a
criminal kind of thing for a day. I mean, they do that with
you, you have to prove yourself and you have to take the
Chinese, they have to do the same thing. And
I hope that this is a lesson to to us and many other countries
and people and manufacturers who do business with China. You
know, everything's great and hunky dory until you learn that,
hey, those guys. Yeah, until those guys don't really have
this don't follow the same laws as we do even the same cultural
agreements. And you know, you've got billions of dollars held up
and you're screwed, you know. And so, in a way, the crazy old
coot our Commerce Secretary Wilbur. He's right by saying no,
this should probably be good for us. It'll build up some capacity
in the US I'm still I still don't think that this is going
to affect Caucasians. You know, there's now kind of kind of
evidence saying that this may have actually been Come out of
the Middle East, and it was adapted and through the
Netherlands it was smuggled back into China. And, you know, it is
a bio weapon. In fact, if you look at the the increase month,
no day over day, starting January 30. Here's the numbers.
January 30 170 deaths confirmed cases. 7821. That's a 2.1% death
rate. January 31 213, deaths confirmed 9800. Guess what 2.1%
fatality rate, February 1 259 deaths 11,880 diagnosed, guess
what? Two, it's 2.1% death rate every single day. That's
interesting. Just from a mathematical standpoint. Is it
engineered to do that? I don't know. The main thing is we don't
know. And I thought with Trump saying pretty much nothing other
than Hey, we got to be careful of this stuff. Keys all over
this. He's got to know what's going on. He must I'd still
think he's holding something over the whatever's going on.
We'll it'll come out eventually in the wash. But we are not
being the Troy told the truth about any No,
we don't know anything we don't know. See JCL tips and more
stuff. Yeah. Well, I got a couple leftover things, talking
about this kind of Harem Scarem moment. This has not been played
anywhere except in Minnesota and I only caught it because I'm
listening to CBS and Minnesota. But this is the fake emergency
message. Have you heard about this?
No, I haven't. But we're about to. A number of Minnesotans got
a dose of panic with their breakfast this morning.
And emergency alert system sent them a message to evacuate the
message was part of a weekly test by Minnesota's Homeland
Security and Emergency Management. It was mistakenly
sent to residents of six northern counties as well Hudson
explains. Now the state is trying to determine what went
wrong.
For many folks in Pine city The day began with a far more
disturbing tune at 7:52am cell phone sounded with an emergency
alert. Evacuate now.
Well, it would sort of concerned me but I wouldn't know what to
do or where to go on the to where to evacuate to Pine County
emergency management coordinator Denise Baron says dispatch was
overwhelmed with panic phone calls. The state's message was
both alarming and vague. It hits
the 18 T phones, got the Verizon phones primary for this Kony and
created panic.
The alert omitted the words it was only a test and was not
intended to go public probes now underway to find out what went
wrong.
Homeland Security Emergency Management reached out to every
911 Call Center in the state of Minnesota to let them know of
the message that had gone out inadvertently. They did that
within 10 minutes. Yeah, again,
the report goes on by the way they do creates it with this
situation in Hawaii. I was sure. But it was like this was a
story. Nobody wants to pass around. Just just a repressed
story.
Of course we don't want people losing faith in technology, you
know, like during a caucuses and stuff. So pathetic. And of
course, amidst all of this actual news, as reported only by
one America news is not reported at least I would expect PBS NPR
to be all over this
FBI head of Christopher ray in a statement to a FISA court Friday
apologized in response to a scorching DOJ inspector general
report exposing FBI abuse of wiretapping and surveillance
warrants issued under the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act, otherwise known as FISA raise apology
comes as a result of a FISA court looking into the wrongful
surveillance of Trump advisor Carter Page. In a statement to
the FISA court re writes that the FBI is behavior surveilling
the Trump campaign was, quote, unacceptable and
unrepresentative of the FBI as an institution and that the FBI
deeply regrets the errors and omissions identified by the
Inspector General errors and omissions that allowed the FBI
to continue to surveil what we have now learned completely
innocent Trump associates like Carter Page, George papadopolis,
and General Mike Flynn. President Trump responded to the
apology on Twitter indignant at the lack of justice for those
harmed by these FBI abuses of power. Chris, what about all of
the lives that were ruined because of the so called errors?
Are these dirty cops going to pay a big price for the fraud
they committed? President Trump has relentlessly attacked FBI
leadership for being quote crooked. This admission from Ray
is vindicating not only to President Trump, but for the
Washington set that has long suspected the FBI to be a
corrupt and politically weaponized institution.
And of course, the way this was produced and her read doesn't
make it any more interesting to people to follow, obviously,
no, this is this is a problem you have a news organization is
actually breaking stuff that the other people won't touch with a
10 foot can put a 10 foot pole, they won't touch it, this story
will not be touched, but the President's a and I don't want
to demean anybody, but if, but they really need to bring their
game up a little bit, a little bit, so you gotta bring their A
game.
Big time.
Sounds like a high school production.
Well, you know, the curry Dvorak Consulting Group is available
for side gigs.
And there are a lot of people out there with enough talent to
do that work.
And you think you think just two quickies hear from two cool
producers? Adam and John I heard you mentioned the no agenda
chicken recipe the other day. I gave the link to my wife she
suddenly decided to make it we had it tonight is really good.
Thanks for the recipe says Mark anonymous PS here's my wife with
the finished product. By the way she wrote the 70s Helen ready
song ain't no way to treat a lady. How about that?
Wow, we have like so much talent that listens to this show. It's
ridiculous.
And the other talent is laser crafters. La s e r k r a f t e r
s laser crafters LLC. They just started they got a dawn. They're
working with Mark one of your artists to print his art using
my co2 Laser laser to engrave for millimeter cast acrylic
which includes a solid beech wood light base. We think it's a
great format for your producers to display their support of the
show on their desktop or uses a nightlight for their human
resources. It's on Etsy and I put this link it's under a cool
na lights in the show notes. It's really cool. You know the t
shirt my favorite t shirt the one that has the 33 and the kind
of almost like a test pattern with the swords crossing in the
middle. Yeah, that one so they have that one acrylic and the
the base. It's a green light that shines. It looks really
really fun.
It looks like code Yeah, it
does look like code a little bit.
Just want your desk put up in your bookshelf and people like
walk in your office to see it and go
and just like no agenda shop they'll be divvying up proceeds
of these cool no agenda lights between the artists the show and
themselves we appreciate that. And I don't I mean I got I could
go on forever but I think we should probably
apparently you could but you can't you can't because time is
running out there
you go we're done.
I got only clips I have can be easily moved around. I'm not
gonna
we're gonna move we're gonna move them the affiliates have
already pissed all week for the past. This month. We've been
late.
I got nothing to do with the timing on the shots. Right?
