He's a classic Nazi, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, February 9 2020. This is your award winning get one
nation media assassination episode 1200 15. This is no
agenda, canceling our cruise tickets and broadcasting live
from opportunity's own 33 Here in the frontier, Boston, Texas
capital of the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm selling off my closet.
I'm Jhansi Dvorak. Greg Levin Buzzkill.
Okay, you've got me interested? The closet or the contents of
the closet? Are the contents of the closet. Oh, my goodness.
This is a treasure trove.
Yeah. Are you?
Are you putting it on Etsy?
I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this. The first item Fred's
gonna be done to item by item.
Wait a minute. Wait. I don't understand what your your
o'clock classically trained archivist? Yeah. Why would you
consider giving anything away?
Like giving it away?
I mean, getting rid of anything I understand. And what do How
did you come to this? This is This is big news is shocking.
Because I'm worried about a couple of the items. I know
they're going to end up getting damaged or something is going to
end they should be in the hands of a capable fellow archivist.
Oh, my goodness. Okay. Are you going to do an item per item?
And can we discuss each one on a different episode of the show?
Yeah. Okay, what's today? What do we have on the docket?
I have a Microsoft Bob. Frisbee.
Oh, my goodness. Okay. We will be posting a picture later. Of
course. I have it of this fine fine collector's item. And what
do you hope to get for this item? On today's show? John? 100
bucks. 100. Okay, great. Well, and how many items do you think
you have? How long will it take?
About a year? Before we've gotten rid of everything in two
years?
Wow, that's fantastic. I'm very excited about this. This estate
state estate sale
state stank Think
Tank sale. Okay.
I have a suggestion suggested my by the way, I should mention the
Microsoft Bob frisbee has never been flown. It's just as meant
mirror to conditioners and
it doesn't have plastic on it or any other markings that will
prove its virginity.
You can just look at it until it's never been used.
Okay, Virgin Bob, everybody. $100 Can't wait. Very exciting.
Well, you know what, since we're just kind of getting off to a
different start, there was something that happened on the
last show that we as marketers branders marketers advertising
executives should be kind of interested in
Yes. And as I'd like to put it market tear
marketeers Yes. See? Okay, right away everything that I wanted to
do, of course, false part.
I got I got I got let me let me play for you. The piece from the
show. And Tina actually called me kind of called me out on
this. She said what was going on there? What exactly did you
think you recalled? remembered? What did you really know what
John was talking about? This is from 1214. This is about the
Super Bowl advertisements. They had
a lot of energy, a lot of 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 just worst dad. I think it was the worst dad.
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. So here is what happened. I remember I because Tina asked
me, Did you because you said you kind of pretended like you knew
what it was. And then you said John, why don't you tell us you
fully well, knowing that I wouldn't really remember it was
going on. And then you didn't remember? I was immediately
looking at the troll room to see if they remember Tina told me
about this and said she didn't remember the ad either. So I
figured we'd play the ad. Hey, Google, show me photos of being
Loretta. Do you remember are what the ad was? Oh, yeah.
Here's the nutty part. The ad is literally for a service that
helps you remember, and neither you, me. Or my wife could
remember the ad. This has to be some subliminal thing that is
wrong with this advertisement,
or write with it. Say what? Or write with it. Oh,
what? No. But if they're trying, if they're trying to promote
something to help you remember, you should at least can't
remember the principal is dug into your brain. So this
is the and the reason it was kind of creepy is because it was
clearly an old guy whose wife had died. And he's saying, Oh,
you remember all this, Google remember it for me. And then
Google, of course, remembers and will tell him, and it was just,
there's something about what was going on that that no one
remembered the actual ad. And I just wanted to put that as a
data point, also, a data point to this comment.
Okay, here's the problem. What was with all these callbacks to
the 60s and 70s? How old was this audience? Exactly. That ad
was for 80 year olds. Oh, that's an interesting connection. Yeah.
Anyway, well, the audit dealt with callbacks were annoying. I
mean, I mean, they weren't to me, I got all of them. But you
know, I'm sitting there watching it with Jay. And she's looking
at it going. What do you think that's about? Because he didn't
know there's no way you would know I have for these callbacks.
I mean, they all that was missing was an F true callback.
That's true. That's even hard for me to remember. Yeah. All
right. We have maybe before we get into debates, we do just
something a little more international for everybody.
Even seeing the ratings of the debates people don't care that
much more in America
just as a as little as a few debates, Flipside interest.
Well, why don't why don't we you want to do some Wuhan flu to get
that out of the way first. Well, what do you got from the Wuhan
flu? what I got? I got this guy. He's a professor at University
of Chicago. I think that's where he's from. His name is Dr.
Boyle. He's actually the guy
at your boil. Have you heard of doctors first name Lance?
That would be funny, wouldn't it? No, let me see if I can find
his first friend. Well, Francis Boyle. He is the UN he drafted
the biological weapons act. And he still he still works at the
at the University of Chicago. Which one? Okay,
well, before we dwell, then before we play that, let's play
the update on PBS have the Coronavirus story that came out
on Saturday and they'll go right into that. Okay, and it's title
Coronavirus update Saturday.
Right here we go.
US officials announced today that an American citizen has
died from the Coronavirus in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The 60
year old woman who died on Thursday reportedly had
underlying health issues before becoming the first known
American fatality from the illness. As the death toll rises
and the virus spreads. Authorities from around the
world are taking strict precautions to slow the spread
of the deadly disease. Hong Kong said today that it will begin
enforcing a mandatory quarantine for anyone arriving from
mainland China and 3700 people are being ordered to remain
aboard a cruise ship for 14 days after 64 passengers tested
positive for the virus. The Coronavirus has infected nearly
35,000 people globally since it was first detected in December.
Right so the the main issues the things that that I'm hearing but
of course have no evidence of because we really don't know how
honest the Communist Party of China is being that every number
you hear, you should probably just multiply it by 10. That's
the general consensus among people discussing it at great
length. Dr. Francis Boyle. Here it is drafted the US domestic
implement implementing legislation for the Biological
Weapons Convention known as the bilat biological weapons anti
Terrorism Act of 1989. That was approved by both house the US
and signed into law by HW Bush and he really doesn't get on
mainstream media anymore. I'm not sure why I have a feeling
that he might have said something during SARS that
pissed somebody off and they just ignored so he shows up on
all kinds of other podcasts and radio shows. This is this is my
favorite radio station K PU. K P Oh, are you familiar with K pu
FM?
Actually I am I
think it's a West Coast Cape who everybody here he is.
I routinely monitor Sure, outbreaks of disease around the
world, both for humans and animals to see if there might be
a biological warfare agent at work. So I followed what was
going on there at Wuhan, and eventually reached the
conclusion that what we are dealing here is an offensive
biological warfare agent that leapt out of the Wuhan biosafety
level
for stop. Let's back up. Now you're asking the rhetorical
question at the beginning of this clip, why they don't bring
this guy on? He seems to be marginalized. Yeah. This guy
I think he was marginalized before the Wuhan outbreak.
Here's his full credits bad bachelor, and he's not a he's
not a medical doctor, which makes it a little more
interesting slash challenging. Bachelor of Arts University of
Chicago, JD, magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, Master
of Arts Doctor of Philosophy is from Harvard. So he's, he is not
a medical he
sounds like a very smart person as well. Yes, you get a JD from
Harvard, magna cum laude, you're not no slouch.
But again, here he is saying stuff that for whatever reason,
including widespread panic is not allowed on them, five them
that leaked out of the Wuhan biosafety level four, laboratory
there that has been DNA genetically engineered with gain
of function properties that simply accelerates the DNA
genetically engineering for a bio warfare agent in the first
place. And as far as I can tell, right now, Steve, just having
read the public record, it does appear as if it's a combination
of what's called a camera that basically you have the stars.
And we know that that facility has previously worked with stars
and stars leaked out of there at least twice before combined with
the flu virus, and appears also combined with HIV that, you
know, leads to AIDS at a minimum.
Here's probably why it got marginalized. October 26 2010,
Boyle sharply criticized Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton
stating that quote, Obama was bought and paid for by Zionists.
That's why Rahm Emanuel was his chief of staff until just
recently when he decided to run for mayor of Chicago Manual was
bought and paid for it to be put in there. The same way. Dennis
Ross in the White House, Mrs. Clinton sold her soul to design
is in New York to get elected as a senator from New York. I think
that is what kind of kicked off Main Street, is that gonna fly?
That doesn't work. So here's the second part of his his analysis.
It's my opinion that you know, it's extremely dangerous. The
Chinese government the first case was December 1, it had
nothing at all to do with the, you know, the food central there
that's just baloney and propaganda. Clearly, the Chinese
government knew about it probably right around December
one, the first human to human transmission transmission was
December 15. So the Chinese government has been lying about
it since then. This is a specially designated who
research lab. Now imagine that the who, especially designating
a bio warfare lab, so the by the who is in on this, these BSL
four facilities are only good for research, developing testing
and stockpiling biological warfare weapons.
So of course, we don't know and I take this guy's word for it no
worse or better than anybody else's, no one really has
information. The question is, if this did really just leak out,
if this was some flu or some, some virus, it appears as as
many have now seen that appears to really affect Chinese and men
in particular and even was the Han province is that
no han Han Chinese is a is an ethnic subculture to Chinese
it's a genetic difference in Han Chinese and the way the other
ones the Tibetan Chinese, Hmong. goals and all the rest they're
all different in some little genetic way and Han is the ones
that are Chinese so we think of as Chinese
and so and Han Are they really only in the Wuhan region are
they every no
no han to all of China? They're all of China. Chinese. Okay.
So
that's the big problem. After playing that clip, you might as
well play this one which I think is it bring some light to this
clip. This is the dead Chinese doctor clip. Yeah,
yeah, exactly.
The Chinese doctor who warned the government about a possible
Coronavirus outbreak has died after contracting the virus
while working at Wuhan Central Hospital. 34 year old
ophthalmologist Li wenliang warned his fellow medical
workers about Corona virus on December 30. He was then
investigated by police and accused of making false
comments. His death has sparked a wave of anger and outrage in
China, where the hashtag We want freedom of speech went viral on
Chinese social media site Weibo on Thursday.
Well, it would make sense if it really only attacks the Han
Chinese on the Han Chad Chinese, because Trump doesn't seem
overly worried. What we also are not hearing is people who are in
the United States and other countries that have the virus.
We have lots of Americans who are Chinese Americans and and I
think many of the cases may be Chinese Americans and not
necessarily the Anglo Saxon Americans or whatever the
whatever the Nether,
they won't give the ethnic makeup of the woman who died the
first American died the six year old woman and they just won't
give her name out, which might indicate whether I think
generally speaking, we'll give you some indication
at the same time. On Thursday, not long after we did the show.
Bloomberg came out with a report US President Donald Trump and
President Chinese president Zhi Jing ping reaffirmed their
commitment to implementing the phase one trade deal signed
between the two countries last month, you recall that I had put
questions to their force majeure clause, which said, hey, if
we're, if something happens, and you know, some freak of nature
or something we can help, then we can go back to the
negotiating table. So that may have been what that was about.
The two Presidents agreed to continue extensive communication
and cooperation between both sides. The White House said and
read out of the leaders call on Friday. They also noted the
great achievement of the recent United States China phase one
trade deal and reaffirmed their commitment to its
implementation. And if it true, if it really is something that
does not affect many outside of Han Chinese DNA, Trump is in a
fantastic position to put the screws to the Chinese and get
anything we want. Because I think this is going to affect
their economy and their output much more severely than
expected. I mean, the US
have a diff does that that affects us too. Because like you
said, Yes, show Yes. Just in time nonsense.
Yes, exactly. What so besides, I guess they got some auto
industry. A lot of telecommunications fiber optics,
from what I understand, comes out of Wuhan. And lo and behold,
what does Bill Barr do at Was this some think tank that he was
speaking at earlier this week,
and other countries that do not want to put their economic fate
in China's hands are not going to install Huawei is
infrastructure, we have to have a market ready alternative.
Today, you need a system that will allow you to seamlessly
migrate your installed 4g base to your to 5g. There have been
some proposals that these concerns could be met by the
United States aligning itself with Nokia and or Ericsson to
American ownership of a controlling stake, either
directly or through a consortium of private American and Allied
companies. The main concern about these suppliers is that
they have neither Huawei scale nor the backing of a powerful
country with a large embedded market like China. Putting our
large market and financial muscle behind one or both of
these firms would make it a far more formidable competitor and
eliminate concerns over its staying power or their staying
power. We and our closest ally certainly need to be actively
considering this approach.
Pretty interesting words from the Attorney General.
I mean, makes no sense. Well,
the only thing I can read into it is Hey, finally we've got a
chance to get rid of those pesky Huawei dudes. Here's what we do.
Hey, why don't if you're interested in investing in Nokia
Ericsson will back. Yeah, we'll put some money into your
company. No worries, we need to have that. It seems like you're
right about that. Yeah. But it seems like the timing is kind of
rule. Let's do it. Now.
You should be a story going around. I heard this from a
different, at least two different sources, that the
whole Huawei in this also, by the way, was the way Sun
Microsystems used to do business. But not on the on the
not in such a sneaky way. Is that the wild, Huawei spent most
of their time doing due diligence on where Erickson was
going to sell product, right. And as soon as they did follow
the sales guys around for all practical purposes, and when the
guys left, they go into the company say what did the
Erickson bid? Will do?
Yes, yes, yes. Well, I just find it all very coincidental. The
timing of it is obviously good for us in that regard. You know,
he had a What's the Commerce Secretary Wilbur? Who said, Oh,
well, you have to produce stuff here. If they shut down, I think
something's coming. I really do that they're not opening anytime
soon
back. Let's go back to analyzing the possibility now why? First
of all, let's go back to the virus itself. Now, there's
another rumor that showed up floated around about how it was
like something developed or found or discovered or something
in the Middle
East? Yes, it Jordan specifically.
Now, is it possible that this is not a was maybe a bio weapon but
not developed by the Chinese because it makes zero sense to
me. The Chinese would develop a bio weapon aimed it down.
If you recall, the first one of the first times we were talking
about it identified was the AC E to marker, DNA marker. I don't
know if I'm using the right terms, but AC to AC e two. And
that is prevalent in Asian so Han Chinese. I'm not a DNA
specialist. So I'm shooting from the hip, but also apparently an
Ashkenazi. It's possible that it was initially some kind of
either I don't know about Jordan, but I would say maybe
Saudi Arabia or some other, some other not friend of Israel who
set it up for them.
Wow, that's now we're getting there.
Yeah. Well, do you need a little therapy for that? Yeah, you
remember, this is why I said everybody you're on the 23andme
DNA report has asked Janaza you may want to be careful around
coughing people could hurt you. So
because it makes no sense to me that the Chinese are going to
develop a bio it's a maybe it's about maybe they had the they
had it and they were analyzing it. And there's just a sloppy
operation. And one of the guys caught it and walked around town
for a while the market wherever it starts getting out. And then
this other guy identified it and they cracked down on him as fast
as they could because the government knew what they were
doing. And they didn't want word yes, possibly. That's the only
reason you Why would you send to call the police on this poor
this whistleblower the way they did, unless you knew what was
going on. So they knew it was going on even though they've
acted like they didn't. And now you know, now they got a problem
because they have to. I don't think you can. I don't know,
maybe I'm wrong, but I can't imagine. cordoning off 11
million people in the city of Wuhan and, and letting that and
having that work for more than a week or two before people just
start burning down the place.
Apparently now the they filled, they filled up community centers
and sports halls with beds. And this is what I've heard
understood from virologist this is if you don't have a vaccine,
pretty much the only thing you can do is put people together
and and wait for it to quote run its course so herd immunity
starts to take hold and then it passes. So you know, this also
isn't you know, there's nothing being reported. This is the this
is the problem because everyone's like Trump, Trump,
Trump. That's all that we hear here. So you know, I gotta watch
sky and RT and Al Jazeera. And I tried to get a clip from the
World Health Organization, press conference, which literally
they're like, Okay, I'm going to do a press conference. On the
website, click the raise my hand button or press star nine if you
want to ask a question, and they had no statement. It was just
questions you couldn't hear. Then there's a bunch of people
who you almost could not understand. Including the the
the chief of this meeting and I will read to you from the BBC.
What they didn't even take a clip of it. It was so
unclickable the what's his name? Dr. Tedros said, I would like to
speak briefly about the importance of facts, not fear.
People must have access to accurate information to protect
themselves and others misinformation. He says at the
World Health Organization. We're not just battling the virus.
We're also battling the trolls and conspiracy theories that
undermine our response. That's us. As a Guardian newspaper
headline says the US has a Guardian newspaper headline says
today misinformation on the Coronavirus might be the most
contagious thing about it. So why exactly we really don't know
anything and all the World Health Organization keeps saying
is Oh, good job. Good job. And also I'm so sorry, I couldn't
clip it was just was inaudible they're the ones that contacted
Facebook and Twitter and said could you please remove stuff
that is disinformation. That's how Zero Hedge got banned. The
World Health Organization did that. So there's if you don't
have any kind of information and my goodness, how many times we
have to go through these epidemics pandemics before they
figured out how to communicate? So instead of this what you get,
you get to conspiracy theories and question as
to what the conspiracy theories must be like, in the city of
Wuhan itself.
People must be freaking out this poor people. Yeah, we got one of
our producers is in not in Wuhan. Yeah. Professor Jones.
Let me see a few. Where's he actually I think he's in
Shanghai, but he lives there. A few notes about what's happening
in some Chinese cities house to house welfare checks. I had a
woman come to my apartment so he's in Shanghai, by department,
a woman come to my apartment complex walking door to door
asking if people are sick or taking temperatures. I told her
in Mandarin we do not have a problem. And she smiled and went
away. They Wenzhou where I used to live. That's great, isn't it
in when Milo went away? In Wenzhou, where I used to live in
metropolitan area of about 10 million people has only 1500
confirmed cases of Coronavirus. But since February 3 The entire
city is on lockdown people not allowed to leave their house
unless they have the pass. The travel passes given per
household one person is allowed to leave the house once every
three days. Repeat that. From a whole household one person is
allowed to leave the house once every three days. So my friend
can go to the grocery store on Monday but can't leave the house
again until Thursday. The only exception is if you're going to
the hospital. Many cities do not allow more than two people to be
in proximity. A group of about six men were playing mahjong
they were all wearing masks. A cop came in smashed the tables
with a hammer. It was posted to WeChat undoubtedly some other
person reported them as quote congregating. This is a super
snitch country. I have no idea In which city it was. But there
are a few in addition to Wuhan, Hangzhou and Wenzhou that have
instituted a forced curfew and no associated Association order
and a no association order. All schools have been closed since
mid January. The last two weeks were part of the regular Chinese
New Year holiday, but kids will not go back to school until
March 3 at the earliest. Most of the X pack teachers have left
China before the holiday the then another group left China in
the last week of January. Subsequently places like the
Philippines Taiwan Australia have banned Chinese or people
who are in China for the preceding two weeks. Just today
Thailand is refusing entry to allow anyone from China, they're
too busy killing people over there. Furthermore, many of my
work colleagues cannot return to Shanghai anytime soon because so
many flights have been cancelled from the UK, Korea, Philippines
etc. I have access to a medical doctor and Wenzhou he's from
South Africa. He's conveyed that his hospital is not treating
people with high doses of vitamin C. They are not giving
people vitamin d3. They're not giving selenium instead, or
they're not giving selenium, chromium, magnesium or zinc
instead, the standard protocol is just recycled antiviral
drugs. Those drugs are simply a non organic derivation of
essential fatty acids like this. It's a tough one for me,
phosphor dye tech click Klein
without the phosphorus that is read on.
Lastly, we can walk around the street streets of Shanghai with
impunity most people are going out. Even though most businesses
are closed only things that are open are big box stores, grocery
stores, bakeries, gas stations in hospitals. The subway is
running with literally no one on the train Shanghai. All the
tourist areas are closed museums, bars, bookstores,
banking is large electronics no effect there. The funny thing is
watching people jog with paper thin masks or even smoking with
the mask on. That is all for now. Dr. Jones from Shanghai
that's Shanghai. That's it's not even a report. Yeah, it's
dynamite report is another one of those reports. Yeah, we
need as many as we can get that is a good report because it does
indicate that when he brought up a couple of interesting points
that there's there is a sense that these this Chinese specific
aspect of this or Chinese targeted because anybody could
get this. Yeah. But Chinese targeted is, is it's in the it's
in the it's underlying that entire report. Exactly. People
are sensing this or they know this or they already this it's
got to be
some some partial truth to it because it's just from almost
day one we see you know, this actual metal they look real. The
pub the publication's of what's in it, they should look pretty
official. I don't know.
What I'm gonna be destroyed is gonna go on for at least two
months.
The question is, what will this apply doesn't I think Wuhan also
manufactures a substantial amount of pharmaceuticals. Is
that possible?
Anything's possible
right now. I thought maybe we could get some shortages of
things. I mean, this it's not just steel and iPhones. You
know, there's other stuff that comes out of there. And finally
stuff. Yeah, well, this will be a good lesson for a lot of
people. And that's it. Everybody was
a kung fu furry too.
There we are with our racist jingles as always.
Somebody's got to do it. Well, onward to what's next on this. I
got some crazy stuff.
What do you want to do a little review with this couple against
impeachment
stuff. We got debates. I've got some serious stuff which needs
to be discussed and nobody in the mainstream media is
discussing it. You do get it here and there from AJ I got
it from you want to do that first? Let's do some
serious stuff by the way, because we don't nobody knows
what's going on there. All hell's breaking loose.
Yeah. Is this what the Russians? Are they involved? The Turks is
a crap going on between them?
Well, here let's listen to start with this one. I got three
clips. I have one from here's one from Al Jazeera. And this is
the and this is all happening in Idlib. Syria mess Idlib AJ, the
United
Nations has long warned that the last and most bloody chapter of
serious brutal war could take place in Idlib. The Security
Council have now been told that is happening.
We are witnessing the humanitarian catastrophe that
the Secretary General has warned of. This is causing totally
unacceptable human suffering and endangering international peace
and security. The bombing and shelling have forced hundreds of
1000s more people to move in the attempt to find safety. We now
estimates that 586,000 people have moved in the last two
months. They are mostly children.
This emergency meeting was called by the US France and the
UK.
I think the worst nightmare on Idlib has come to pass
a US counterpart ended her speech with these words.
I want to close now, by speaking directly to the Syrian people.
Yes, these are dark days of that. There can be no doubt. But
you are not alone and you are not forgotten.
But after nine years of war, no one could blame the people of
Idlib. For feeling abandoned and betrayed by the world. The
Security Council has not protected them. In fact, one
permanent member is directly militarily involved in the
onslaught they're facing. James Bay's gouges era at the United
Nations.
So I'm looking at Idlib which is in a weird place. It's between
Aleppo and Homs, which kind of rules out the traditional
pipeline routes. You know, what is that? Oh, okay, here we go.
How Russia and Turkey are eyeing new deals on a blip and Libya.
Okay.
Looks like me? Yeah. Yeah.
Idlib and Libya. Yeah, I think that the maybe this is part of
their
TurkStream pipeline and Libya that those two guys who get
involved
just look at them. These two gangsters they're involved in
anything and everything they can get their hands on. Okay, my
situation with over a half a million people displaced and
mostly kids. It's just not not acceptable. But it's not even
playing on democracy. Now. These stories this is like completely
ever since Trump somehow and I believe you have to give him
some credit for this. Got us out of that mess. Yeah, I think we
still have people there. But generally speaking, I think
we're we're out and the Turks have somehow taken over and
they're fighting the Russians now it's just ridiculous. Let's
play this second clip, which is Syria mess is IR.
Turkish President Juan said Turkey and Russia should resolve
differences over the conflict in Syria's Idlib. Without anger
after a deadly flare up in violence challenged the fragile
cooperation between Moscow and Ankara. The two countries
support opposing sides and serious nearly nine year war. In
a phone call on Tuesday, Putin and Irwin highlighted the need
to follow Russia Turkey agreements on Idlib that
envisage increasing cooperation to neutralize extremists. The
Kremlin said. Turkeys report on the same phone call said that
IRD one told Putin that Turkey will use its self defense rights
in the event of another attack on Turkish military personnel in
Syria. At the United Nations on Tuesday, Secretary General
Antonio Guterres called for an end to hostilities to keep the
situation from getting out of control.
So the Russian defense ministry said that the Turkish troops
were hit because of their failure to communicate with the
Russian military.
It could be Yeah, but the thing is, of course, Turkey thinks
they got NATO behind them. And
if they call Article Five, we're kind of obliged to go in and Oh,
gasp fight the Russians on behalf of the Turks.
Very popular. And now the last one is his real screwball story,
which is, again, making things even more complicated. This is
the Syria mess with Israel involved.
So later in the week, I'm sorry, wrong one. This one,
we're learning that Israeli airstrikes in Syria may have
prompted local air defenses that almost shot down a passenger
jet. The plane was on its way from Tehran in Iran to the
Syrian capital of Damascus on Thursday with 172 aboard. It was
forced to make an emergency landing at a Russian military
base in Syria. The Russian government announced the Near
Miss only on Friday. Russia says the plane came under fire from
Syrian air defenses who were responding to the Israeli
airstrikes. And it comes only a month after the Ukrainian
passenger plane that was accidentally shot down by Iran
killing everyone on board. Russia did not name the airline
but flight data showed that it was a Syrian sham wings flight.
Shawn was hit with US sanctions in 2016 for allegedly
transporting pro Assad fighters to Syria and sending weapons and
equipment
man I don't even understand how can Turkey still remain in the
NATO didn't they just didn't they buy all this Russian stuff
and they buy the s 400 anti aircraft missiles or
Yeah, so in meanwhile, right there fighting Russia with
Russia's gear. I mean, this is the strangest situation it's not
at all very very crazy. I mean, I'd like to see some growth and
analysis here and this just like completely it's hard to imagine
it being under the radar after all the serious serious stuff.
But there is
baffling Oh, it's bad. Well, it's not important. It
is not about Trump. That's not boring. My god man
and there's just there's nothing you can watch in America. That
is that or or originates here. Even BBC America it's all Trump
Trump. Oh, it's so such a disservice such a disservice.
I'd like to know more about this. This seems to be a little
more than your typical proxy war. This seems to be something
real that's going on. And we don't want any
like we don't even have to be involved in the verbalization
continues.
Isn't that great?
But who's Foley these guys I'll do it.
Who's gonna go and rebuild the we still get to go in and
rebuild.
When the rebuilding begins, you call on Bechdel.
I've gotten several emails about the situation in Australia with
the with the with the rain. And here's an here's an example. Sir
Ned Knight of the convict broadcasts, says I remember a
while ago there was some discussion about how once the
rain stick get gets used on one location, it stays there and the
power of the rain stick can build up over time. I don't
think we actually discussed anything like that. But then he
says so while we appreciate the efforts of the rain stick in
stopping the fires around Sydney, please use it somewhere
else. It's been kissing down nonstop for three to four days.
Everything is flooded. I have no power Please make it stop. Dear
Sir Ned, I quote, I believe it may be Nietzsche that Gods are
most cruel when they grant our wishes. And I wish I could
change it but there's no we don't have a reverse rainstick
is an n is a drought stick. I'm sorry we and maybe it was those
three extra shakes I gave when we did it and now I won't do
that ever again. Adams fault. I thought Australia would be able
to handle it you know tough down under Aziz. This is a knife. No.
Crying Of course I have sympathy for to going through. I see the
pictures too. But at least you're not burning alive.
So we do have a store in this Thailand shooting. I got a PBS D
on that with an ISO. Yeah, this is this is unresolved story.
A couple of things. This wasn't something last year that also
happened in in Thailand. This year shootings that take place
and here's the
this is what's playing this Thailand shooting and then I
think you'll be amused by the ISO
and Army Sergeant in Thailand killed at least 20 people and
injured more than 30 others during a mass shooting today.
Police say the man killed another soldier and a woman over
a land dispute at a military base before driving to a
shopping mall. He fired shots along the way and reportedly
posted updates to his Facebook page. People in the multistory
mall about 150 miles northeast of Bangkok were trapped for
hours. It was unclear how many were injured or killed at the
mall. Shortly before midnight, police secured the building and
more than 100 people were evacuated. The government
reportedly had an assault rifle, but as of late today, there was
no word on whether he had been captured.
Okay, what was the ISO?
Well, here's the end to show I shall suggestion.
That's not very nice. That's not a happy ISO ending. By the way,
the the ISO from the last show, people have been saying, Oh, can
you please post it I, I really I really want to get to be able to
say it right? I want to say it right? If the backup and the
backup backup, to backup, the backup. That's the one everybody
loves a backup and a backup to that backup and a backup to the
backup to the backup. That is what exactly what they did at at
the Iowa caucus or backup and a backup to that backup and backup
to the backup to the backup. Gun you thought I was gonna say so
we do have a little update. MSNBC went in full force as I as
far as I understand the actual results still have not been
published. This is now what eight days or this was seven
days. Almost a week later. They they have not just not been
published.
Can I can I play this clip? Because yes, you're right. And I
have come up with my own thesis on this. This is the Frog play.
This is a hanky panky in Iowa plus Sanders.
In election news Democratic National Committee Chair Tom
Perez is calling for a recanvass as some of the voting precincts
in Iowa. At the latest caucus results show Senator Bernie
Sanders and South Bend Indiana Mayor Pete Buda judge virtually
tied with 100% of the results now reported, Sanders is still
leading in the popular vote by 1000s. But Buddha judge
maintains a 10th of a percentage point advantage in what's known
as the state delegate equivalent race. But the New York Times is
calling even these results into question. After its
investigation found the results released by the Iowa Democratic
Party were quote riddled with inconsistencies and other flaws,
unquote. On Thursday, Senator Sanders declared victory in
Iowa. This is Sanders responding to a reporter's question when he
had moved on to New Hampshire. Mayor Pete's
been declaring a win for days
now. Why should people believe your victory speech over his
we've got 6000 more votes. From where I come when you get 6000
more votes touchdown will be regarded to be the winner.
Latest polls show Senator Sanders is leading in New
Hampshire where seven Democratic presidential candidates will
take the stage for a debate tonight ahead of the Tuesday
primary.
Yes, exactly what we discussed is that the numbers for the
actual the what we would call the popular vote were not even
published. This was only about the delegate count. And some
have surmised we may have even talked about it. This would be a
good scape goat to get people all fired up about getting rid
of those pesky electorial College.
Mailing deaths and element but I think the real element being
uncovered as it We've looked more and more at it once they
came up with the app. Yeah, perhaps the app was honest. And
the app worked. But but because Iowa has been the Iowa Democrats
have been corrupt from the get go. They're the ones who
sidelined. Bernie the last time. Bernie was irked about what the
results were. And that's why Bernie put people in all the
caucuses, who, yeah, it's possible that the app had the
right numbers as Oh, my God, we can have this because we want
this guy to win, or we want that guy to win. Or in the olden
days, Hillary or whoever else it was, it's possible that the Iowa
caucus system was just bad and corrupt. In the end, the app
proved it.
Here's an MSNBC report on the app. This is from Thursday. So
it was on the last show day. So take that into account. So we
have Oops, here. Well, it's
incredible that after all the cybersecurity concerns and
concerns about Russian interference and the threat of
hacking, that the app has actually been leaked, we were
able to get a copy of the app from one of the Iowa precinct
managers, and actually download it, I actually have a copy of it
on this phone here, downloaded here and in New York.
Just so amazing. And
we sent it to analysts who found that the coding was rushed that
there was some design and technical considerations that
were that were problematic. And yet still this app was was
rushed into use. The biggest issue and
this is such a detailed report, isn't this, while the core
functionality
of that of the very kind of simple basic app looked to be
okay, there was an issue coding issue on the backend how that
data was being transferred to the Iowa Democratic Party
servers.
This is this is the big NBC news organization, they have so many
resources. They can't tell us anything other than well, you'll
Yeah, it was rushed. It was rushed. How do you know if if a
developer rushed to put it together? You know, did you did
you actually have the source code? Are you just looking at
like some API that it's talking to, this is a very low grade
report. That's
the key issue. The other thing that we saw, because we got the
email copies of the email chain sent from the developers shadow
Inc, and the Iowa Democratic Party to these precinct chairs,
giving them multiple layers of information, complicated
instructions, asking a lot of the precinct chairs to do on
their phones on their on their Apple phones and their their
Android phones, and just looks like a rush job, and just poor
deployment. And you can't forget that for all the consideration
about cybersecurity issues election, as a lot more than
just cybersecurity. We're talking about real people on the
ground, right asked to change settings in your phone, go into
their phone, and change it to allow these outside apps that
the phone was telling them was not safe. You got to do that
groundwork to train people in advance, and people are telling
us that there just was not enough training.
Okay, so I think we can discount everything from this guy's
report except for two pieces. One, he was about what was
happening on the back end, which pretty much has, once the app
sends the data, unless it never sent the data, then the
shenanigans were on the back end. And I think the real on the
ground trouble is an oversight and a stupid one at that. That
they probably did not have their predominantly Android app signed
for the store. So you downloaded it not from the App Store or
from the Google Play Store, whatever it is downloaded from
their server and your Android phone most people's phones, not
the typical no agenda. dude named Ben Fong will say, ah, do
you are you sure you want to give permission to this app that
is not officially sanctioned by Google and people will freak
out? So I think that's probably true. But I'm with you. This is
bull crap. And the fact that NBC puts this this out as their
technical report almost matches the insane notion that, ah, the
problems Yeah, the app was a problem, but it was really
drunk. So we
have some brand new reporting. We're scooping right here on NBC
News about what went wrong in Iowa and why 100% of those
caucus results still are not it. Here's the deal. We're learning
more about why the phone lines used to report results were
flooded Monday night. It wasn't just caucus organizers. The Iowa
Democratic Party tells us there were also a bunch of Trump
supporters apparently calling in JAMA things up with the times
calling in Jim things up great reports
hostile calls. So where might those supporters have gotten the
idea or even the number itself? NBC is first to report this
apparently, from one of the most extreme far right message boards
on the internet one we've talked about a lot on this show called
4chan.
I think she's confused with HN being there. really far extreme
right but okay, for chan Oh, yeah, that's that's where it's
happening
is recording that Trump supporters on on this, these
4chan sites were told to clog the lines basically what's up?
Yeah. So there was these posts that came out at like 10 o'clock
roughly on Monday night that said, here's a phone number
clogged the lines just stay on these lines. And you know,
what's
the number it was the number for the people were supposed to call
in and report caucus results. That's exactly
right. And here's the deal. Like, it's easy to blame 14 for
this, but 14 is going to 4chan, right?
Hey, John. 4chan is going to 4chan, right? Brothers, NBC
News, NBC News.
What is the number it was the number of people calling in to
report caucus results?
That's exactly right. And here's the deal. Like it's easy to
blame.
Also the guys of the day. Yeah, he's a by the way, I would like
to say this is the only show in broadcast media today. Well, you
will not hear the phrase, here's the deal or at the end of the
day. And except for in the clips. This guy's clearly a
Biden man, you know, saying here's the deal, or he's been,
here's the deal. Here's the deal. That's only Biden says it
constantly. That's a Biden
ism number for the people we're supposed to call on and report
caucus results. That's exactly
right. And here's the deal. Like it's easy to blame 14 for this,
but 14 is going to 4chan right they left a door this was like a
saloon door of bad cybersecurity just like it was wide open.
So a saloon door of cybersecurity people
kept calling this number and at least that's what they claim on
4chan, but now we have evidence from the party itself that said
look, look, you know, Trump supporters were calling people
calling just hanging up
Oh, I feel at the end of the day coming either remember like
prank calls basically. We're not sure if the idea started
unfortunately, but it was definitely there on Monday night
there are posts prove it. And we've backed it up with a lot of
reporting
any using 4chan is gonna 4chan say the 4chan is going to try to
mess with something big on election night. Right is like
saying the ocean is wet too. So you can swim in it.
Oh, thanks. So now let's just push that out there. Let's get
that going. Oh, 4chan, Trump supporters, 4chan is going to
mess with with election night. Oh, yeah, let's get y'all primed
up for that. Shame on you, NBC News, shame on you. But I think
poot actually set us up at the CNN town hall, and told us you
know that he really also thinks this popular vote man is
probably not so good.
We have a responsibility to talk about what we believe in. And to
make the case for what we think is right, when it's popular. And
when it's not. I know that some of my views on what we need to
do as a country aren't popular. Frankly, I'm I'm showing a level
of respect for New Hampshire voters. Expectation of my
honesty, when I share with them a view that might not be popular
around here that I think that the Electoral College has run
its course and in the future, we ought to pick our presidents in
a way that makes sure that the one who got the most votes
actually gets to be president. But I say that because I think
it's the right thing to do. And I think everybody left, right
and center ought to come into the public square making the
case for what we think is right.
Okay, well, there's one other thing going on this is this is
going to be the number one, and the media is going to be behind
it because they make more money. I've written about this saying
that the media will support getting rid of the Electoral
College because
then the advertising makes more sense in states like California
and New York, etc.
Yeah, so they gotta make more money. But the thing is, you're
gonna start to hear and I've started to hear it. I don't have
any clips. I tried to find some I heard it gets in passing. And
then I tried to clip but I don't get I don't get it. But it's
some it goes something like this 18% of the public controls 51%
of the Senate. How's that fair?
Yeah, I've heard this. This is a good one. And that's why Trump
is still president.
Yeah, by the way, it doesn't matter. When Clinton was
President, you had the same situation and he got elected by
the Electoral College, all that's back is beside the point,
but 18% of the pot, and then what they're saying is that
states like Wyoming have two senators, right. And they have
very little population, there's their population. Why only is
less than this population in the Bay Area, yet they have two
senators. It's the same with Montana, some of these other
sparsely populated states. They all have two senators, because
the country was set up that way, for good reason, the same reason
that the Electoral College was set up to keep criminals out of
the White House. And
it worked. Yes, Hillary is not President. You're right. Hillary
is not President. It's part of a larger issue, which is, I think,
pure elitism. Michael Bloomberg. This clip is from 2016. But it
surfaced of course, during this election cycle. He was at Oxford
and he was explaining Some of the issues with the stupid
American public, which he, which he identifies by calling himself
and the people in the room at Oxford, the intelligentsia.
If you think about it, we the intelligencia people who could
make it into this room, we believe in a lot, just
let that settle in for a second. What is the actual definition of
the intelligencia?
Well, it, it refers broadly, I think, to the more intelligent
people that are highly educated, and have some control over the
society.
Here we go. The intelligencia is a status class of educated
people engaged in the complex mental labors that critique,
guide and lead in shaping the culture and politics of their
society. As a status class, the intelligencia includes artists,
teachers, academics, writers, and the literary. Yeah, John
Legend.
If you think about it, we the intelligencia, people who could
make it into this room, we believe in a lot of things in
terms of equality and protecting individual rights, that make no
sense to the vast bulk of people, they're not opposed to
you having some rights. But there's a fundamental disconnect
between us believing the rights of the individual come first.
And the general belief around the world, I think it's fair to
say that the rights of society comes first. And so I don't know
how many of you familiar with the bathroom issue, and the
United States, anybody know what I'm talking about? If you want
to know if somebody's a good salesman, give them the job of
going to the Midwest, and picking a town and selling to
that town, the concept that some man wearing a dress should be in
a locker room with their daughter, if you can sell that
you can sell anything. I mean, they just look at it. And they
say, What on earth are you talking about? And you say,
well, this person identifies his or her gender as different than
what's on their birth certificate. And they say, What
do you mean, you're either born this or you are you're born
that. And you know, I will say, in our prison system in New York
City, we have to have the policy, when you walk in, you
know, drop your trousers, you go this way, you go that way.
That's it, because you can't sit there and you can't mix things
in a jail. That's a practical case of where you have to make a
decision. But it's so many things that we are nuanced. And
the issue, the social issues that we're very proud of, of
achieving aren't believing aren't believed by the vast bulk
of the people.
I mean, what Yeah, so he's defending the
Wow, but But you see, the message is the people who who
can make it into this room, the intelligencia at Oxford, are
enlightened enough to understand that we need to protect
prisoners from being raped, but not children. I mean, that's the
that's the comparison he made, whether you believe it or not. I
mean, it's like, well, in prison, it's different
situation. If schools did the school and stupid people, they
can't, they can't they're not enlightened enough. They can't
grasp. They just can't I mean that that guy wants to be
president.
That's it. Can you imagine? Well, he's the one with the, you
know, you shouldn't be drinking big sodas. He's a, he's a
classic Nazi.
I think that's a timestamp right there. That's opening of the
show. People like Oh, finally, they're gonna say something
nasty about Trump. Good.
He is a classic.
That's a good clip did that? Well, that's another clip that's
floating. I mean, when I'm trying to promote a sing I think
you have a bit. This is from the first debate. Let's see if I
have it. Irving, find it quickly. First debate. This is
the first debate. This is where they, this was a NBCs. And
everybody stopped doing this after this first debate, because
this is I think, the killer. And I have a photo which I'll put in
the next newsletter of the first debate where they asked this
question, and everybody's hands goes up, and then when you start
thinking about it, logically, you realize it's crazy, but they
keep they keep it up. This is where they asked the question,
how many here think that the undocumented aliens should get
free health care if we have a socialized system that you guys
all want with a lot of weight and the one of them that
Mariana, somebody else lift their hands have done they all
lifted their hands up? Everybody said yes, we've
been talking tonight about these government health care plans.
that you've proposed in one form or another, this is a show of
hands question and hold them up for a moment. So people can see.
Raise your hand if covered if your government plan would
provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. Let me
start with you, Mayor Buttigieg. Why
can choose our country is healthier when everybody is
healthier. And remember, we're talking about something people
are getting a chance given a chance to buy into, in the same
way that there are undocumented immigrants in my community who
pay, they pay sales taxes, they pay property taxes directly, or
indirectly, this is not about a handout. This is an insurance
program. And we do ourselves no favors by having 11 million
undocumented people in our country, be unable to access
healthcare. But of course, the real problem is we shouldn't
have 11 million undocumented people with no pathway to
citizenship. It makes no sense and the American people, the
American people agree on what to do. This is a crazy thing. If
leadership consists of of forming a consensus around a
divisive issue. This White House has divided us around a
consensus issue the American people want a pathway to
citizenship, they want to protections for dreamers, we
need to clean up the lawful immigration system like how my
father immigrated to this country. And as part of a
compromise, we can do whatever common sense measures are needed
at the border. But Washington can't deliver on something the
American people want. What does that tell you about the system
we're living in? It tells you it needs profound structural
reform,
Vice President Biden, I believe you said that your health care
plan would not cover undocumented immigrants. Could
you explain your position? I'm
sorry, I beg your pardon? And the show of hands? You
did not raise your hand? Did you raise your hand all I did? They
would be covered under your plan, which is different than
Obamacare. Explain that change?
Yes. You cannot let as as the mayor said, You cannot let
people who are sick, no matter where they come from, no matter
what their status go uncovered. You can't do that. It's just
gonna be taken care of period. You have to it's a humane thing
to do. But here's the deal. The deal is that he's right about
three things. Number one, they in fact contribute to the well
being of the country. But they also for example, they've
increased the life span of social security because they're
they have a job. They're paying the Social Security.
How do you how do you contribute to the lifespan of Social
Security if you're an undocumented worker with no
social security number? Oh, please.
Moving on from Joe.
I mean, these guys, but here's the thing that always gets me in
it. This is going to bite him in the chest is all his hand
raising. They're all in on this. Luckily, Klobuchar and Warren
work in on this is what they had the two partners. And the
problem is, is that okay, so I've got some horrible disease.
And I can work my way onto a flight to the United States as a
as a travel visa. Yeah. And I just checked myself into a
hospital here and gets paid for what they're saying is that
everybody from all over the world can come to the United
States and get free medical care, no matter how sick or how
undocumented they are. It's just crazy to say that it's,
I think it's worthwhile to read through Pete Buttigieg, his bio,
once again, this is not really done. He's always positioned as
well. He's just a mayor from a very small town in Indiana.
That's pretty much it. Now, the keeper I grew up partially in
these parts. And it's good school Notre Dame. But it's, you
know, it's, it's okay. It's not an Ivy League school. But this
is where this is put roots. So from the Wikipedia, He's a
graduate of Harvard College and Oxford University, you know,
where the intelligencia assemble, attending the ladder
on a Rhodes scholarship. Always a fun one. 2007 2010 you work as
a consultant at the management consulting firm McKinsey. This
is well known 2009 to 17 served as a naval naval intelligence
officer in the United States Navy Reserve as a lieutenant. He
was blood to deploy to Afghanistan in 2014 for seven
months. Then he also worked on the political campaigns of Joe
Donnelly and John Kerry. He served as a 32nd, Mayor of South
Bend, Indiana, as we know he still is. So his dad was a 29
year tenured professor at Notre Dame and apparently quite the
lover of Marxism. So Pete is an elite.
Yeah, he's a total elite and we should mention something to
people out there already. Looking for, you know, little
things to check off the box, Rhodes Scholar, the Rhodes
Scholarship, it was developed by Cecil Rhodes, who was
responsible for Rhodesia, which was this racist operation, but
nobody wants to mention that part of it. And his whole thing
in life was one world government. Yep. Cecil Rhodes
was a big promoter of One World Government and if you get a
Rhodes Scholar you are you're going to be inoculated
inoculated brainwashed into every, every possible one world
government scenario there is. All Rhodes Scholars are really
anti American one world government people.
Let's take a look at the list. We'll do it in reverse order.
We'll start at the most recent one. It's a long list. I'm gonna
go. Let's see, who do we have here? Oh, that's not even Ronan
Farrow. It's a Rhodes Scholar. Let's see. Pete Buttigieg. Is
there okay. I think Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar if I'm
allowed much inundation, or inoculation indoctrination is
what I've been looking for indoctrination that Clinton had,
because that's who was a stoner yours,
you know, Rachel Maddow was also a Rhodes Scholar. So she's an
alum. So she and Pete should have a lot in common. I didn't
realize that she was one of them. Bobby Jindal. Cory Booker,
we knew that Rhodes Scholar going down the list of I see any
other interesting names? I think, just the fact that Rachel
Maddow is with Susan Rice Graham. Now that's not a known
name. Naomi Wolf.
Yeah, yes, yes. Are all people indoctrinated to the idea of One
World Government, and they're all tend to be egalitarian in
their approach? This is the thing that came up earlier in
this show and how these, why do we want to get rid of the
Electoral College? And why do we have the caucuses the way they
are it egalitarian ism, which is part of the Democrat ethos, you
have their main thing, as we talked about on the show before
is the egalitarian ism and justice or equality and justice
the way they put it, and Republicans are freedom and
liberty. And so the the egalitarian mindset is that
everybody's equal to an extreme this is what's hurting that
people in Sweden right now, because every immigrant is
exactly the same as this week. Exactly. And so if you're a
egalitarian in your approach to things, you can't have an
electoral college, because it's it has to be one man, one vote
yes. And that's which is a egalitarian they the American
system is not set up as an egalitarian system. It's a it's
a Federalist system. And the reason for the Electoral
College, again, is because the states are the ones that are
equal, not the individuals in the country. And so you do end
up with 18% of the public controlling 51% of the Senate.
But that's the way it was designed, because the
egalitarian ism is bad.
Yeah, historically, we've seen that that doesn't work out very
well. But you would know it from listening to these candidates
for the Democratic Party. They're all against the popular
vote. They're all against the Electoral College, they all want
the popular vote. And they keep referring to the United States
Constitution. Yes. And they keep referring to United States as a
democracy. And they're just routing around the system and
really lying. It's really in its I don't think it's good. I mean,
we have a system do you want to change it? That's fine, but
don't try to sneak it in with lying about it. And saying this
is unfair. I mean, how many times I've heard someone on CNN
or MSNBC say that the caucus system is inherently
undemocratic. Well, yeah. That kind of ends there, doesn't it?
I mean, what are you gonna say to something like that? It's,
it's what it is.
It's that's the point of it. Exactly. I can't wait to talk
about the debates and maybe a little bit of the State of the
Union Fallout, but first, I would like to thank you for your
courage and say the morning to you the man who put the sea and
constitutional scholar John C. Devorah.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam curry also in the morning
all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water and all the dames nights out
in the morning to the trolls who have been there all kinds of
like, oh, man, America's over it's done. No, no, it's okay. be
fine. We'll, we'll the Republic we'll get through this as well.
But if you want to commiserate with the trolls go to the troll
room. It's no agenda stream.com and do a quick headcount. See
what we got in the troll room today. We've got Oh, good one
almost 1400 This is good. Hello. Hello, all you trolls. Nice to
see you there. You can listen to this show live multiple shows
live Darren O'Neal does the pre stream and out We're before we
start live on the show. There's just every I think every day we
have a live show that Wednesday night Nick, the rat, and this
podcast that run and you can basically discover but do it
with trolls. If you want to find podcasts, you might as well have
trolls to help you know, agenda stream.com Also big in the
morning to mountain J. who I believe is female. I believe
mountain J is a woman. I saw I pretty sure she posted on no
agenda social.com and forgave me for misgendering misgendering
her brought us the artwork for episode 1214
is an odd name for a woman you take that Did you know, I would
think Twin Peaks would be a better name. Oh, my goodness
to vorak sanctuary was the title of the episode. Of course, how
could it not be? And the art was? There was a there wasn't a
lot of good stuff. We thought it's not stuff that really
applied this was we kind of both said, Yeah, this is a good one.
And it was the blue, red black kind of the bumper stickers we
have glitch that would be the Democrat donkey. Then we have
the red Republican elephant. So that of course is Russian
hacking. And then no agenda with our little microphone. It was
just a good piece. And I started using the overcast podcast app.
Man, I have to say and I want apple to be successful. They've
really done a lot for podcasting. But over, they
should buy the overcast app. In my opinion. That thing is so
good. It really has all the pieces you want. In a podcast
app including quick updating of the art and the podcast from
Apple app. Sometimes it takes a while. Yeah, you've to read
by him. I think they should like Apple as you got any money. Guy
but there's a lot of the Eurozone we have we invented,
you know, not invented here. We already have an app, you know,
these companies like that will sometimes be reluctant to buy
something that they already do, but not as well. That's true.
But they have Marco's put Marco the developer he also put in
something quite interesting he put in a sound enhancer just
recently, and it's it is kind of in most of those podcasts that
have crappy sound it does kind of make it more listenable
Yeah, and I was doing there
was some compression I'm a big fan of giving the listener all
the control this is the part that a lot of people disagree on
with me but I I like it like fast forward you should be able
to chop stuff up anything you want to that you that you're
going to miss beautiful things is up to you. But I like it I
think that that's true interactivity is that you can
mess around with whatever you receive. And that may be part of
Apple's problem of not wanting to do everything or they want to
control everyone wants to control
anyway Apple traditionally is one that control that so the
direction the Mac and the PC.
Yeah. Oh yeah, exactly.
All right. Let's take a few people for sure. 1215 Yes, let's
do this.
Craig knight in north to south as our top donor with $500 right
John and Knight north south here and I am now the biggest
believer in the no agenda karma. As you remember three weeks ago
you gave karma to my to my horse fast
horse. Wait, wait, do we need to listen to the to the winning
horse race again.
And my dog Yuki pronounced Yuki. My horse went on to win the
California cup derby. Oh, I guess that maybe that was the
California derby. Yes, that's we that's the winning horse. You
know what they used to have the California Derby here in it a
local field that we have in the East Bay called Golden Gate
fields in Albany. And I can look down on the field where I am.
And watch horse racing. You see the horses going around? And
now can you with with your with your scope? Can you see the
numbers? Can you actually see which horses running good? I
probably could have not that interested. Could you shoot a
horse from where you are like I take one out? Well, yeah,
definitely. You could throw the race Interesting. Okay.
Now, so you watch all these races and then you watch the
California derby. And it's like, what is the dirt? This is not
even like the same race these horses that are in this at this
level. So if he wanted California Derby the horses at
that level are so much faster than the average horses that run
in all these races. It's not even close. It's like it's
almost frightening to watch. Well, he has a fast
horse. Well, it's the horse of course. is called fast enough so
and
that means that this is the level horse that can play they
can play the Kentucky Derby the Belmont there's all the big
races I'm feeling I'm
feeling triple crown with the big no agenda logo on this
horses but that's what I'm feeling I'm I'm all in on this
now that would be great reminder. We don't do karmas for
for sports games or anything like that but we we felt this
was okay. Since Craig Knight North Knight north the horse
owns the horse so it's
somebody owned a football team would you help him out? Anyway
says his dog had bone cancer he had successful surgery to remove
a bone in her foot and having to have her leg amputated. Good she
started chemo this last week and is doing great man that's a lot
of money on a dog. He says needs my help again are my help your
help my horse fast enough. It'll be running tomorrow in the San
Vincent each stakes at Santa Anita he has to take on the big
boys this time including the two year old kids it may not be the
California cup may not be the California Derby the two year
old champion in a bob Baffert monster inside baseball says
some kind of breeder I guess I'm training or something.
Unfortunately I won't even be able to watch the race live as
the night north to the south will be on a plane north to
Alaska I would appreciate the karma you can give love the show
as always Yuki would appreciate dogs are people too and F cancer
jingles Craig Knight of the Northeast
so what he doesn't mention is this is this part of the of the
purse that he's donating here and did we get a piece of the
purse?
I hope so.
Alright first let's do some karma for for fast enough for
tomorrow you've got karma All right now for his doggy
dogs you've got
karma with a goat twists for Yuki and thank you

Jolt Yeah, Mel Bovard. Joel Tucker in Largo, Florida, to 20
to 22 in the morning, too many things have happened in my
favor. And I was wondering why I've been having such good
fortune. I finally occurred to me that it was the karma sent my
way from the last donation. And to be honest, I think it came
back to me 3x 3x In my own attempt at living in OTG
lifestyle, I'm trying to convert a school bus into my new home a
classic.
It's a classic look.
Yeah, there you go. This week, I'm undertaking the project of

the meetup I was it was like a party. Please de douche

figure out how much I had donated to the meet the ITU and

when it was in the middle of the of the h1 and when swine flu
hysteria. Okay. I started on the 1111 monthly donation in mid
2012. January 2020. Monday I finally reached knighthood
entirely on 1111 donations LG why? I was also skeptical about

Okay, that's it. That's good. It was good. Oh, that's it. That's

that's our producers, executive producers for show 1215 Want to
thank each and every one of them for all their thoughts. And, and
this really helps quite a bit.
It does. Thank you. It's always good to have support on a
Sunday, which is the second Thursday of our week. And these
credits that you now have are real credits. You can use them
anywhere credit to recognize we have associated executive
producer for $200. And above and up $300 And above is the
executive producer, put it on your LinkedIn, put on your
resume, it always results in people asking questions, which
you can then of course, answer any way you want. It say oh,
yeah, those guys. Yeah, he's gonna be on Joe Rogan say that.
Yeah. It sounds impressive, I think. And it helps the show,
which is part of our value for value system will be thanking
more people in the second segment, but of course we'd like
you to support us for our next show, which will be Thursday, to
participate in the value for value network, go to
avora.org/and
A and you know that
you are officially part of the no agenda, intelligentsia. Our
formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
I had one comment. We think you even mentioned it but now that
the President is saying everyone's Dang. Well, you know,
if the Democrats can can't even tally up vote, how can they run
the economy? How can they run health care? And we have such
short memories it Can I remind everyone of the Obamacare
website debacle. How long was that thing delayed in launch?
months, months and months? How much did it cost? Like six $700
million. And it wasn't just web, it wasn't just a web snap, to be
fair was connecting to legacy systems. But that that is
exactly the debacle that is not exclusive to Democrats. When
government gets into these things, they have no business or
or they just don't, they don't have the knowledge, the culture.
And so instead of saying all you want these people to run their
Kadri, or healthcare, how about self driving cars, drones,
facial recognition, you want them to run that? That's the
question I have. Not anything else keep it out. They don't
understand it. And it's not just Democrats. But government in
general, I think is not currently qualified to run these
types of things. Okay,
you made your point when it's time for the debates. Okay.
Now, the debates went on. They were terrible. It was a little
lively at the beginning they got you know, Biden, apparently they
doped him up enough that his eyeballs
at one point. I think Steyer was talking. And Joe turns around,
has his back to the audience and snort something.
I missed this. Yeah,
it's it's a wide shot. Now, you can't I don't eight may have
been a nasal stick, whatever it was, there was doping on the
field. I'm telling you, and he turns his back and tighten his
hand or up to his nose. I don't know what he was. What he was
snorting
Well, in the olden days in the 70s, when, when the the drug
cocaine was a big deal, because it got to cover I think it was
Man of the Year on Time Magazine. And probably the usage
of it was less than it is today. There was an old trick of
getting these they used to have this VIX,
the VIX, they still have and those vix things are actually
addictive by themselves.
Yeah, low inhaler of some sort. And people would load up with
powder. And then they'd use that. Yeah, maybe that's what he
had. No, it wouldn't surprise me.
But it was odd. It was just odd. The whole thing was odd.
The rating I got for clips occurred that goes before one of
them
if you're interested in the ratings.
Force six,
just under 7 million people watched. It was ABC, so they
always get get more than anything else. I'm actually
surprised it was higher than I would have expected. But I think
that's also considering it's a Friday night. That's the entire
activated political audience in the United States is probably
that all the people yelling on Twitter is probably then that
watch this. I think that's that's a good chance that you're
the real active politically active audience in the United
States is about six, 7 million. Yeah, not much more.
I think that sounds right. Yeah.
For all the noise. It's a very small percentage of the country.
So let's, let's do a few things here. So yeah, you definitely
had Bernie going on with it. He isn't. Here's Bernie's
impeachment rant, I thought was good.
We sat for two weeks listening to the impeachment process. And
here's what I think the horror and the danger of what happened
was not only the acquittal of Trump, who in fact committed
impeachable offenses, and obstructed Congress. It is the
precedent that has set the precedent that it sets. And what
that precedent is about now is in the future, you're gonna have
presidents who say, hey, Governor, you want highway
money, you better support me, but you're not gonna get it
because I am the president. I can do anything I want. Hey,
Congress, you want to investigate me? Don't be
ridiculous. Who cares about the Congress? Who cares about the
separation of powers? Who cares about the Constitution of the
President? The President of the United States the power
I love that bit that he did. You know,
by the way president is do that to the governors that say hey,
you write you're bound to get any support from your state. I'm
not giving you any tie away money to constantly do that
crap.
Do you know I'll do it in minutes. Okay. Yes, keep going.
I thought that was a good line and Actually, that should have
been a possible Iso I didn't make it either.
Yeah, you're right. Because I like my ISOs so much, I think.
Anyway, before we played, this is another one that was good.
But before we play the other ones, I want to play this Bill
Maher. Clifty. He had Banyon on Oh, I saw it. Yeah, man. It was
very good. It was just bad and talking over him and then the
audience booing him. But let's just part I wanted to play
before I play the next debate clip.
We've seen this in other countries when you talk about
people like they're scum, and they're evil. We've seen it in
Rwanda, cockroaches, we've seen it in Germany, vermin. You don't
think that when you talk about people like that, your side? The
people who hear those words, you don't think eventually it
translates into action? They see people on our side as less than
worth not. Absolutely not.
Wow, how about literally Hitler Nazis? Am I missing something?
It goes on and on? Of course, dude, yeah, but the way Maurice
sees it. No, no, his side's fine. So let's listen to the
debate Steyer doing his name calling.
But he's been the Republicans have rolled over, they've had a
sham trial. They've refused to have witnesses, they've covered
up the truth for the American people. And it doesn't matter
anymore, that He's a crook. And he's always been a crook. And he
always will be a crook. Right now what we have to do is we
have to beat him in November. And we have to beat him because
he's incompetent and bad for the American people. And that's the
case we have to make now. Is he a crook? I knew that two years
ago. Is he going to be more of a crook now that he believes he
can get away with anything? Of course, he is. Of course,
a hedge that guy.
There was a lot of, well, what I saw, what I noticed is, it
started off kind of slow. I mean, you always if you start
with Joe, he always sets the pace. And Joe was, you know, in
kind of third gear of a seven speed transmission. And so it
kind of slowly starts getting up there. And then I think it was,
it was probably Steyer, who first poured the gas on and then
I was like, oh, maybe that's where we go. Maybe we kind of
like do like a little Trump little yelling and and make it
loud. And then Bernie got louder and then everyone got everyone
got a little bit louder, except for my favorite of course, Amy
Klobuchar. And, and, and I think it really missed the mark,
because all I heard, except with a few exceptions, was how shit
everything is. Everything is shit. It's horrible. This is no
good. I mean, we are we, I wake up and I'm part of the most
racist system in the world in all of all of history. And in
fact, I'm responsible for all of these things, and I'm going to
die. I won't be able to afford anything. I'm going to die of
poverty, hunger sickness. There was not a spoon, almost a
sparkling light not to be found amongst anything that anyone
said. And it was this it was so repetitive.
Well, let's listen to this as the basis Klobuchar and her
bogus. Oh, by the way, this is a well, no, let's play that Biden
to Klobuchar first. And I want to play the other one, because I
have a follow up to it.
But here's the deal, whomever the nominee is the President's
can make up lies about he thinks he has free rein right now. One
of the things that I think is really important is we have to
be authentic with the American people about what we're going to
do and how we're going to do it. And by the way, Colonel vindman
got thrown out of the White House, they walked out. I think
we should at the same time, he should have been turning a metal
on vindman and not on Rush Limbaugh. And I think we should
be doing now. I think we should all stand and give Colonel
vindman A show of how much we supported him stand up and clap
for. Him Democratic party's
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has criticized Senator
Bernie Sanders track record Hill Senate we were able to hear that
quote, okay, sure. The Democratic Party's last
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has criticized Senator
Bernie Sanders record in the Senate saying nobody likes him.
Nobody wants to work with him. He got nothing done. Senator
Klobuchar you serve with Senator Sanders in the Senate? Is he
going to be able to get the support and not have you not
have you like it, but is he going to be able to get the
support that he needs from Republicans? Okay,
I like Bernie just fine. We actually have worked together on
a number of things including pharmaceuticals. We actually had
a vote later At night one time, Klobuchar Sanders amendment to
bring in less influence is called No, no. Not to bring in
less expensive drugs from other countries. Since in this great
state of New Hampshire, like in Minnesota and Vermont, we can
see Canada from our porch. And we ended up getting I think, 14
Republican votes. And they might not have noticed what was
happening late at night, but we got those.
All right. I'd like to say something about the vindman
part. This is your next Article of Impeachment. Lieutenant
vindman, Lieutenant Colonel vindman, his brother who has a
problem, but they'll find out soon enough. And sandeman all,
you know, all Friday Night Massacre. This is the next
articles of impeachment. The media is already setting it up.
It's wall to wall. Fallout. Whistleblowers retaliated
against the witnesses. Oops, you watch. This is the next Article
of Impeachment, it's coming.
Well, it is definitely coming. And it's
going to be this it's going to be abuse of power for firing
these guys from the
night wasn't actually didn't lose his job. He just got back
from the National Security Council he removed from the
National Security Council
would have been trying to cut it down anyway. You don't
have to justify it. To me, it's totally stupid. The whole thing
is dumb. But that's what they're going to waste our time with
next is it's going to be about that. And then everyone's going
to want the brother to show up the twin brother, but we can't
have that because he's not really just a National Security
Council guy. He's a hedge fund guy with big fines for shady
business dealings with Eastern Bloc countries. So waste.
Meanwhile, people in Taiwan and China are dying.
Who can I get this? This last CLIA? Well, serious? Who cares?
Let's go here's Klobuchar. And this she makes us assertion
which I did some research into
taking on a president if you want to talk about being tough
enough to take him on. Taking on a president that literally went
down to mar a Lago after he signed that Republican tax bill,
and looked at all his friends and said, you just got a lot
richer. That is Exhibit A for those carpenters in
Pennsylvania. Did he do it?
No, there's no evidence to this. Well, this is a thing that was
written this was this was a big story about when that tax plan
was put. I think I have a clip that was one of them, and it
gets it in there as a tax plan, clip, tax cut bullshit. 2017
play that.
He's also touting the passage of his tax cut legislation, but
it's what he reportedly told guests at his Florida club that
is raising some eyebrows.
I predict the Senator will bring your building blocks.
President Trump's Night Before Christmas was full of what did
he say there in that little little snippet?
Nothing to do with the you're gonna get Richard it was just it
was a it was a whipsaw. And again, the report itself he
started over, he says reportedly this was a CBS planted story.
Oh, of course. Of course. You know, I will start it over. I
want to hear this report.
He's also touting the passage of his tax cut legislation, but
it's what he reportedly told guests at his Florida club that
is raising some eyebrows.
I predict that Santa will bring new building blocks.
Presto they just threw that in there and then you connect it in
your brain so it's almost as if you heard him say something but
you heard but he said something else but it's
he says Santa will being build being will be bringing building
blushes before Christmas. Ah, okay.
Did it Trump's Night Before Christmas was full of good cheer
in front of the cameras. He and First Lady Melania took calls
from children to give updates on Santa Claus from Trump's luxury
Florida Resort Mara Lago
take care of yourself and Shannon's gonna treat you well.
He also sent Season's greetings to members of the military
stationed overseas. Your families have
been tremendous. Always under appreciated the military
families.
Let me guess now the report doesn't actually include the
line you're all going to be you're all a bit richer. Now. I
guess that's not in the report.
You're never going to hear Trump say it and he denied saying it
was just as all reportedly, it all came from a CBS story where
this somebody said he said it and who is supposed to be at a
table nearby. And then I guess he told the reporter it's
bullcrap. But that's okay. We don't care that you got the list
of lies that Trump does, but these are nice.
No, that's interesting. You bring that up because I I went
back to it to get some new ones to talk about on the show. They
have not reported any new lies. It's stuck at 16 124 lies But
lying all the time, January 20, and they just they're not
they're not updating it. I'm very disappointed.
He lies every day.
I wanted to read a new one for you, but it's just it's all it's
all the same as I'm sorry. 16,000 to one yet 16,241 that
now that the last update was January 18. That's it. So
well, so Amy's basically lying here. You know, I was thinking
about this because Amy had a couple of good bitches as she'd
always point to her self when she wanted to say who could be a
better president? Or who could be the one that can be Trump?
Yeah, if she actually came out and with a little more
aggression and said, Look, these guys are no good. I'm the one
that can beat Trump these other these are all bunch of white old
white men. You know what, what, except for Yang and who knows
what he doesn't, he doesn't even have any experience. I'm the one
and she could go on and bright and nuts. And she? Well, she
should brag about her education. She's a smartest one up there.
Technically.
I think what, what connected with some with some voters, and
certainly some in the media, which I will play for you. It
was this end of kind of her pitch. And she compared herself
to FDR.
There's an old story of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And when he
died, his body was put on a train and went up across
America. And there was a guy standing by those tracks along
with so many Americans. And he had his hat on his chest and he
was sobbing. And reporter said, Sir, do you know the President?
And the guy says, No, I didn't know the President. But he knew
me. He knew me. And I will tell you this, that there is a
complete lack of empathy in this guy in the white house right
now. And I will bring back to you. If you have trouble
stretching your paycheck to pay for that rent. I know you and I
will fight for you. If you have trouble deciding if you're going
to pay for your childcare or your long term care. I know you
and I will fight for you. If you have trouble figuring out if
you're going to fill your refrigerator or fill your
prescription drugs, I know you and I will fight for you. I do
not have the biggest name up on this stage. I don't have the
biggest bank account. I'm not a political newcomer with no
record, but I have a record of fighting for people. I'm asking
you to join us at Amy klobuchar.com. And actually you
to believe that someone who totally believes in America can
win this because if you are tired of the extremes and our
politics and the noise and the nonsense, you have a home with
me, please New Hampshire, I would love your vote. And I
would love the vote of America. Thank you.
So I think that was very good for very good for the audience
at hand. She totally distanced herself from the other people on
the stage. I'm not the most famous one I'm not I'm not the
biggest bank out. I'm not I'm not a newcomer no experience, if
you may Oh Pete You know, but I feel you I feel you and you know
who felt Amy you know, who really felt Amy? Christmassy
Chris Matthews from MSNBC was all Judy about it.
Klobuchar was wonderful. I never seen her this good. I think she
showed in the last week audacity, which you want to see
from a politician as a diversity, spontaneity. Don't
have it on the damn script. Be somebody home with the lights on
somebody who's there a human being. And that's how she came
across tonight. She never raised her voice. She was confident she
looked. I'm sorry. It's weird to say this. She seemed like a
president tonight.
An endorsement from Chris Matthews. Who went unhinged, by
the way over Bernie, unhinged. I got to play this for you. And it
totally solidifies the theory that a lot of older people in
politics in the country in general, and certainly in the
media are still traumatized by the Cold War by the Russians by
Communism. How old is Chris Matthews? He's got to be in the
mid to late 70s. So I think he's Yeah, like 7070. So, but listen
to what he does. When it comes to Bernie,
I have my own views of the word socialist, and I'll be glad to
tell them, share them with you in private and they go back to
the early 1950s. I have an attitude about them. I remember
the Cold War. I have an attitude towards Castro. I believe if
Castro and the reds had won the Cold War, there would have been
executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones
getting executed and certain others People would be there
cheering Okay, so I have a problem with people who took the
other side. I don't know who Bernie. Bernie supports over
these years. I don't know what he means by social. Why don't we
kids Denmark, we're going to be like Denmark. Okay, that's
harmless. That's basically a capitalist country with a lot of
good social welfare programs. Denmark is pretty clearly in the
Denmark is allegory Yeah Are you sure how do you know that he
tell you
well I think that's what he says in the tourist agenda calls for
right yeah, he's
not calling for it.
But we haven't seen a campaign yet where video of him praising
the other version. Well, but that will be used that's the
question I'm seeing how that plays
out. And what what the effect that has and what what does he
think of Castro? That's a great question. What did you think of
Fidel ease Mo, we all thought he was great when he first I didn't
care like, I mean, at first when I became a communist and started
shooting every one of his enemies. All those songs called
the revolution. I have to go back to the spin room and
Democratic presidential candidate.
I love how vasectomy boy there jumps in like, Okay, well, you
know, it's not really the Cuban Revolution anymore. Shut up,
man. We're gonna do something else. Okay, Boomer, but
basically, this was this was a pro Trump rant. Trump's should
take this to steal this and use that. That was unhinged man.
It was. It was funny. Wow. I do have one clip I want to play
because I played the switch back on that tax thing. And the fact
that Trump supposedly said something at Mar a Lago, which
is bullcrap, we have one of our producers is a major, major tax
attorney. And some time back when his tax law was passed, you
talked read a note from him, and I can attest to this is that
people who the upper classes that are going to suppose the
getting the benefits of this tax relief, got no benefits, because
they put a cap on, on tax crossovers. In other words,
property tax and all the rest of it had a limit. And many people
who are especially the billionaire class, they have
tons of property that they would write off the taxes now they
can't do that they end up having to pay more.
That was the this is bullcrap. Because the anonymous anonymous
gay accountant. Yeah. famous, famous locally. Yes. And in
addition to that, and, of course, the jury is still out,
we'll see. But one of the biggest tax cuts, which is like
a 10 year program, is the opportunity zones. And you know,
we've looked into that extensively how it works, you
have that capital gains from capital gains. And if you invest
it into opportunity zones, that in 10 years, you can take it all
out tax free. So it's kind of a deferred tax advantage. But in
the meantime, it's supposed to put money to work in underserved
areas for 10 years. Now, the allocation of that I think it's
up to states and states can delegate that down. So some of
it will get used improperly. But in Austin, there's 50 or 60
opportunity zones, and it's, it's being built now will it
ultimately help gentrify these now on a poor neighborhoods,
probably, but it wasn't in effect, a reinvestment into the
country. And, you know, no one ever defines it, it's Apple did
repatriate a lot of money. So there was some good things going
on there. And as you can see what it didn't do, it didn't
really screw anybody. In fact, if anything, it proves their
point that modern monetary theory kind of works, print
whatever you want. It doesn't make a difference. Everything
keeps going up.
Yeah, so long that goes on. Now. I have one more. One more clip.
Yeah, it works for a while. may work forever. But now that if
you look at the money as something other than money, I
got this clip because I had to go back and get this clip. This
was after the the Trump State of the Union speech and it was Your
Miche l sindoor. on PBS NewsHour. And she dropped this
little ditty in there. Because he was talking about immigrant
grants, and it's a rewrite, which I think it was always
intended to be. Just listen to this yummy show. Clip from PBS
pan. Quick, nice to you.
You referred in your report to what you call what's been
referred to as either misleading or inaccurate statements the
President made during the State of the Union.
That's right. The President has been someone who has not shied
away from bending the truth. If it pursuits, his political will
and this speech was no different. He talked about a lot
of different things that were misleading, including the fact
that immigrants were committing a lot of crimes. Study after
study shows that undocumented immigrants do not commit more
crimes than American citizens.
I think that is wrong. I think I've checked false No, no He was
talking specifically? Well, I don't know, you tell me what you
were thinking? Well,
I'm saying is that this, this meme showed up a number of years
ago, right after Trump first came down the escalator. And the
meme was that immigrants don't commit as much crime as American
citizens.
But that's not the same as illegal immigrant. Yes, that's
that's boyfriends,
different undocumented, meaning illegal aliens who are
committing a crime even by being here. So there's no way that can
even be possible. But the demean was first immigrants. And it was
and it was used to trick people into associating immigrants with
undocumented immigrants, or illegal aliens, which they took
that term out of the lexicon because you can't say on illegal
aliens, there are no people can't be illegal. Right? And so
you, you change it to undocumented immigrants. And but
then, so the idea was the to make the association in your
brain. Yes, but never to really say the association just say an
immigrant. She actually said it incorrectly here. She said it
incorrectly because dissociation has been so finalized that she
can get away with it. I never saw anybody correct her on this.
It wasn't on the next day show. There was no Mia culpa. No, now
that's the way they're gonna say it. And it's bullcrap. You know,
total bullcrap. And she should have been called out for it.
Yeah, I didn't hear anybody say anything during this little
interview at se Judy corrector.
I think you made your point.
Yeah, I know, I went off to you could have put my little rant
thing at the end.
Oh, I could have dammit. Case in point, you know, when I set up
my whole Linux environment, and I reimplemented all my filters.
There was one, of course, stuff that I changed or started a new
than if someone was in my, my bounce file, which pretty much
deletes the email and sends a reply saying no, I'm still not
reading your email, you're deleted. So this guy got back
through Ed Z in Texas. And he sends form letters because even
the font is different, dear it sends it to everybody. But I
just want to read it to you. Trump is not Hitler. But when an
American president addressing those mass rallies, signals that
all honest journalists, all Mexican Americans, all non
Christians, all Californians, and in fact, all voters for the
Democratic Party are disloyal enemies of the state. He doesn't
even have to spell it out nor use the words in the language of
his own old relatives from the old country, when he echoes the
sentiments which those who hope for a new Hitler are waiting to
hear. I InfoQ I'm right. I'm fearful that when I was small,
and my aunt from the old country told me to do everything I could
to keep Hitler from gaining even one posthumous victory, I had no
idea what she was talking about. I guess I had to be shown what
moves you regards, your pals, Ed and all the free Texans. So
that's the kind of shit that people take away from it. That's
how far it goes. It's sad. That's an it's an amygdala close
to rupturing, right? They're very sad.
This guy, so this is some guy that you gotten spam from and
you're like, it's not
spam, he targets me and I blocked him and but then when I
reset all my filters and was rebuilding my mail, he came
through again, we wanted those notes. I want to share it.
That's the kind of bull crap that people actually believe.
Yeah, no evidence. There's no evidence of it. Now. You already
went to the State of the Union stuff. I wanted to go back to
the debate for one second. Two strategies that I want us to
keep so a couple strategies. Amy is clearly going for the I get
you I know you, you know me. We are one yeah, this week, week.
Well, we know what Bernie's going for. Pete, I'm just not
sure he is. Clearly an intelligence asset. I mean, he
worked for intelligence. He's very similar to Barack Obama. In
fact, I caught a little bit of the opening of Saturday Night
Live last night where they had hashtag white Obama for Pete, I
thought that was very funny. Elizabeth Warren, she
understands that no one can win the democrat vote without the A
das block voting bloc, the American descendants of slavery,
and but she's gonna pitch it. You know, I'm
glad to stand on this stage with my fellow Democrats, who talked
about how important the black community is, at least at
election time. Here after year after year, edge, election after
election after election, Democrats go to people in the
black community and say, Boy, we really care about these issues.
Racism is terrible. We all want to do something. And then
somehow, the problem just seems to keep getting Ain't worse.
Well, I think it's time we have real concrete plans that are
going to make a difference in people's lives.
Yeah, which is totally empty because she doesn't have a plan.
Steyer actually said reparations, and then that was
like cut off and moved on and like, I'm gonna shut up you. But
Bo Jaiden. Ki decided it was time, endorsement or not. I'm
going full on Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama,
there's people right now, facing what I face. This is a company
large, and what we faced without any of the help I had, we must
move now. I'm against any Democrat who opposes, takes down
Obamacare and any Republican wants to get rid of let me let
me turn to Senator Sanders and the president was elected as
President Obama, I think did a heck of a job to compare him to
what what this guy is doing is absolutely fine. As us as excuse
me as the vice pres United States, I work with a man who in
fact, we worked very hard to see to it, we dealt with these
issues in a major, major way. I think you're so underestimated
what Barack Obama did. He's the first man to bring together the
entire world 196 nations to commit to deal with climate
change. We increase that background check was one during
the Obama Biden administration. I'm also the only guy that got
assault weapons ban, President turned to me and said, Joe, get
our combat troops out of Iraq.
So he decided now's the time. I don't care if he's not endorsing
me, I'm going to play off the Obama Biden goal, the
Obama card. Well,
but there was a moment. And I think this was a pivotal moment.
For the voters, for the viewers at home for Democrats, for the
people on stage. He made a very good point. And I think it kind
of it might have created some brain fry.
Politics in the past. I think we're not all that bad. I wrote
the Violence Against Women Act, I managed a $900 billion
Recovery Act, which in fact, I love his list of accomplishments
100 billion dollar recovery act well done, job, which in fact,
put millions and millions of dollars into his city before he
came and helped save his city. I was able to do it, I was able to
pass the chemical weapons ban arms control, and I was the
first major leader holding public office to call for same
sex marriage. So I don't
you remember when he when he gave that interview, and it was
supposed to be a big reveal that Obama was going to come out for
same sex marriage, and Joe popped it like, three days
early. And everybody was still
probably one of the reasons Obama's not gonna give him any
endorsement.
By the way, I think we caught a flub here. Let me go back to the
beginning.
Politics of the past, I think we're not all that bad. I wrote
the Violence Against Women Act, I managed the $900 billion.
Oh, it is building I thought he said million billion. All right,
back back to the moment is Cummings ban,
arms control. And I was the first major leader holding
public office to call for same sex marriage. So I don't know
what about the past, a Barack Obama and Joe Biden was so bad.
What happened? What is it that he wants to do away with, we
were just beginning, it was just the beginning of what will be
the future of moving this country beyond where it is now
in significant ways. And there's ways to do that. And one of the
ways to do that is to make sure you have someone who knows how
to get things done, and can lead the free world at the same time.
This was to me a very good point. If Barack Obama was so
fantastic, and everything was great. Why not build upon what
he did? Obamacare is not gone yet. It's not done. It has not
been repealed. Why not build upon that everybody loves Obama,
everybody loved the I'm sorry, the Biden Obama administration.
Everybody thought it was great. Why are we trying to do
something completely different? That was never the plan under
Obama, I'm Biden, Obama. It was never the plan to do that. Why
all these changes? What happened? What is wrong? And I
think he's making an excellent point. If we all love Barack
Obama so much and how he ran the country. Why is every policy
completely in fact, some cases the opposite of him? The
opposite. Obama deported millions of illegal immigrants.
We're not going to stay on that Obama plan. Not at all. We're
going to let them all back in Obama Care was flawed and we
wanted to improve No, no, no, no, screw it. Let's just do
Medicare for all. What the hell happened? That's Joe's question,
and I think a large part of his constituent shake. institution
he thinks the same. But it matters not because no
impeachment. No Bo Jaiden. He's dropped. No one cares about him.
He can't get above fourth place anymore. It's over and done with
I disagreeing Of course. Yeah. But you'll agree with me that
this this, why the Democrats are in fact want to implement
policies counter to what the great Obama did is something
that is just not discussed. This is not recognized.
I totally agree with that. And he makes a good point. And maybe
he should have like, started that point earlier. Well, Pete,
of course, late in the game to dream that one. Well, Pete,
Buddha judge had an answer to judge
respond, then Senator Sanders.
Those achievements were phenomenally important, because
they met the moment. But now we have to meet this moment. And
this moment is different. next president is going to face
challenges from global health security, like what we're seeing
coming out of China, to cybersecurity and election
security challenges that were barely thought of a few years
ago. That's all
we heard of a few years ago. What are you talking about? poot
sigh up, Pete, get out of here. Get out of here. Pete.
I have one little Mayor Pete thing which is kind of funny. It
sounds like you know, Democracy Now is not a big fan of Pete.
Yeah, this little story doesn't didn't go anywhere anywhere else
but democracy now played it.
In more election news. The Daily Beast reports earlier this week,
former mayor Pete Buda judge, his campaign removed the name of
the former head of a data company that contracts with ice
from the list of CO hosts of a Buddha judge fundraiser in
Washington DC after being contacted by The Daily Beast.
Jacob Shapiro is the former president of giant oak which was
founded by a former high level Customs and Border Protection
official and has received nearly $45 million in Immigration and
Customs Enforcement contrary, over the past six years,
no cares that move on people were all crooked here, move on.
Don't don't focus on him. Don't give me any fodder. What I
thought would be helpful. Because, you know, this show
changes our attitudes change. Trump basically broke
everything, which is fantastic. I've made it invigorated my
thinking, as like, oh, it's something different going on.
There's a new way of doing politics. And so the State of
the Union was rowdy. It was it unpress unprecedented. In the
reality show moments, of course, was just great marketing. He's a
marketeer, connecting personal stories to his outcomes, taking
responsibility for taking credit for it. And at the same time
setting a trap like you can't criticize that because you're
going to criticize the the lady with the with the the premature
child who's still alive, you're going to criticize the Tuskegee
Airmen, you're going to criticize the guy from
redemption with his alcohol problem and came back and is now
has a he's an upstanding member of society. No, you're not gonna
do that. We had everybody dressed in the where everybody.
Nancy squad dressed in white. And all sudden they're all up
and screaming House Bill three, House Bill three. So the rules
have changed. Let's go back to the President Obama's State of
the Union, which I think at the time we too, thought it was
inappropriate. When this happened, and this, of course,
is well, this is a little bit of the I forget which Republicans
said you lie. When it came to immigration. In hindsight, I
think the guy was right, because, you know, it was about
rights of undocumented workers. And also the media and the been
the political fallout. So this would have been I don't remember
what year this Do you remember when the when the you lie thing
was what state of the union that was
some while ago, I'm thinking 2009
thinking something like that as well. Just to show you how
things early early. This too, is false. The reforms.
The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are
hearing legal.
It was stunning. To hear such a statement made on the floor of
the House and the President of the United States this speaking
many details still have to be sorted out. does not excuse a
Congress's wash behavior. Hopefully it can be sorted out
without resorting to name calling.
How did we get to a point where it's okay to yell you lie at the
president while he's speaking to Congress. All that precipitated
this moment that you lied moment. A lot of things were
everything from the President not being welcome in American
classrooms to people casually wearing T shirts with his image
and Hitler and the Joker. This is awfully Cavalier awfully
casual if not callous. So Phil, where does this come from? And
are we saying now that it's okay to openly criticize the
president to get this anti anti Obama movement have fueled
some people here since racial overtones to the Wilson
heckle showing disrespect to a black president is something
that some South Carolinians ethnic minority can accept much
better than if the President were not an African American. I
don't know how you can not say that this has a racial factor
associated with
it. The very first president in the television age to be heckled
the first president to suffer a heckling in that situation is
the first black president, an overwhelming
portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward
President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black
man.
So the more things change, the more they stay the same. It's
you know, it's all of course, immediately because he's black.
totally unbelievable that that the connection is made. But
okay, here's what here's what's going on. This tit for tat will
go on forever. So we had a Republican guy, clearly a
racist, who know and implications of calling him
Hitler and did Joker and all those memes were there. It's the
same thing. We have longer memories the most because we got
clips to back it up. It was also with Bush. Now of course it was
but but because the Republican started this one in particular
Republican started with Bo heckling the black man, whoa,
that's not who we are. And so now we get the the mayhem that
we get about the Republican president, and guaranteed the
next Democrat president is going to be impeached on day three in
office, because the people who we elect our shit heals, pretty
much all of them. And this is what goes on all the time. So
anybody can be pretend to be holier than thou, but you're
not. And we've changed to, we've become much more accepting of
this type of behavior. And you know, social media has a lot to
do with it. Overall discourse how people communicate. But
let's not kid each other. This things have changed. And me
personally, I like it. I like it when people
benefit of those who enjoy being entertained all the time.
How can you argue any of that it's so obvious. That's the
That's the correct way to view it. I'm going to show
my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people

dozed off for dozed off for a moment. Yeah, thanks for
checking. We did we have a meet up report from Norway. This was
the first one Michael tiny homes mutual. wind.com Bernstein. John
Adam happy to report that last night's first ever Norway no
agenda meetup was a rousing success. In total we had five
slaves that enjoyed most burgers. Ah, that sounds good.
Actually. That sounds good.
Next time. Love a moose burger.
I would love a moose burger as well. Huh? Moose burgers,
expensive Norwegian beer and non triggering Convo. While most
likely spotting the spook. Do you know who you are? I believe
the Norway team will make this a regular event and even though I
saw the picture, it was obvious. Anyone who looks like Mayor Pete
probably spooked. Dress wise. I believe the Norway team will
make this a regular event and even though unfortunately I will
not be able to attend I will be donating $33 on behalf of their
continued success one special shout out to Hans Petter who
picked me up hours before the event to show me this fantastic
city how incredible how incredibly no agenda awesome is
that and I allow the use of the word awesome because yes, that's
exactly who we are. We got your Knights and Dames and Tokyo
taken care of like we are we sounds corny, but we are a
family. We have some meetup reports that were sent in via
audio. Jesse coy Nelson who was diligently been going around the
Middle East trying to organize boys organized meetups has been
unsuccessful in Beirut was unsuccessful in where was he
after that? Ramallah Ramallah? Here's his report from from the
Ramallah meetup.
Hey, this is Jesse Coyne Nelson here in Ramallah Palestine. I
feel like a bit of a stalker as I wait outside of the bar
barleys to see if anybody goes in. I'll give it another 20
minutes past the meetup time it was a long shot, but I figured
I'd give it a try. As far as Ramallah it's a very
interesting, very busy, bustling place come along the main street
you got lots of restaurants, cafes, lots of nightlife and
people are just out and about and it's always interesting to
go to a place which you hear about and you wonder what it's
like and you go there and find out and it's very nice here.
Okay. Yes, unfortunately, no one else attended the Ramallah no
agenda meet up, but I believe that they had the Java meet up
today. And I expect some of our Israeli listeners to attend.
Jesse Coyne Nelson, by the way will continue. He's already
been, I think in 130 Different countries or something. He's not
going to stop and he will be in Cairo on Tuesday and will be

a night our meetup meetup no agenda meetups.com admin. Yeah.
Did we check on that? Do we have a night name for him? Ah,
Daniel.
I know it's a game. But I mean, what a nightmare. I know his
name but the night
name was supposed to be a surprise maybe.
Well, he I'm sure I'm sure he's surprised now. Daniel, let us
know what your night name is going to be because it's well
deserved no agenda meetups.com is providing to tremendous value
not so much for the for monetary for the show. But for the show
for the producers of the show. It is it kicks ass over any
other infrastructure that we've tried that was commercial like
meetups.com. No agenda meetups.com perfectly suited for
us. It's where you can find a meetup near you at a time near
you. And if there isn't one, all you have to do is start one put
it on the calendar yourself. And the keeper and I will be in
Florida Delray Beach meet up on the 21st of February see you
there.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with the all the nights and
days you will be triggered. You want to be be buddy feels the
same. It's like up. There we go.
So I have three clips left that I want to play for sure. Okay.
One of them is I think, well, let's just play this kind of an
odd clip. This is talking about this PBS report on the Starliner
as it was Starliner. This is like the idea of the independent
launches into space by Boeing and ex, SpaceX, or whatever they
call it. Yeah. And apparently the Boeing stuff is is, is
again, they're having all kinds of software issues. And here's a
report.
So later in the week, we also had kind of an update to some of
the things that people were figuring out about the Starliner
project, what was happening.
So right now, there are two companies that are creating
these new vehicles to take astronauts to and from the
International Space Station. And they're getting really close to
actually putting people on those vehicles. But before they do
that, they have to do these uncrewed flight tests, and
Boeing did its uncrewed flight test in December. And it didn't
really go according to plan at the time, a software glitch
prevented the capsule from getting into the right orbit. So
it didn't actually go to the International Space Station like
it's supposed to. But now we're learning that there was actually
a second software glitch that was corrected at the time. But
if it hadn't been corrected, it could have been a catastrophic
failure for the spacecraft. And it could have maybe had been
destroyed when it reentered Earth's atmosphere. We don't
know because fortunately, they fixed it. But it is kind of
highlighting that Boeing is having these these coding
problems. And NASA is really doing a deep investigation into
that. That was
the Starliner project is happening. You also have the
SpaceX project that's kind of working in parallel that is
planning on putting people into orbit,
right. So initially, when they chose these two providers that
was supposed to spark competition, and man since then
that competition has really heated up, they definitely are
constantly going back and forth with one another and trying to
prove and beat out the other the provider
beating the other provider and thanking provider or miner
that was getting interesting. You know, this is going on, they
were still sending our guys to the space station, thanks to
Russia. Their engines. Yep, we don't have apparently SEL well,
they're engines and they're in their vehicles, too. I mean, do
we have to go to Russia? Yeah. And our astronaut goes to Russia
and gets on a Russian product and shoots it up. They shoot it
up nude, there you go. I found this interesting clip. This is
the Trump comment clip. And it just something is He's given us
some talk too. He just like given talks all the time. He's
just he said, this little ditty in here. And I've kind of looked
into it. And it but it did catch me off guard
pretty high. And in the coming months, my administration will
hold summits, just like this one in cities across the country,
working closely with community leaders, workers, entrepreneurs,
employers and faith leaders are great faith leaders. So many
great people I've met, you know, we got rid of the Johnson
Amendment so they can speak their will.
Okay. John, do tell us about the Johnson Amendment.
Well, apparently this was put in place, I think in the 50s. And
it had to do with the 501 C threes and how they can they
can't come out for and I think it also has to do with churches
because that's what he's specifically referring to where
if you're a church and you're a pastor, you can't go in front of
your congregation and say vote for Trump. We've known about
this for a while and Trump decided with an executive order
kill this thing. Yeah, and I thought it's like has not been
talked about. It's reported immediately flat footed again.
They don't know what the hell did I do? And
I'd say they'd want to report on that as something terrific and
good. Now wasn't a wait a minute. That's not true. Wasn't
it before the impeachment I recall there was a brief moment
of reporting. I can't remember it certainly was on the radar
just briefly and dropped right off. But yeah, to have short
term, I think the the complaint went something like this. Well,
you know, you can't be not be paying taxes and you know, have
the government subsidize your church. If it's all going to be
political, then it's, you know, Emoluments Clause. I don't know,
this was the original thinking behind it. Yeah. Johnson had
been like, you're getting a tax break, and now he can't mix
government with you know, religion. And I think that's a
fair point. logic was was fair point. I think it's a fair
point.
Now, if you're gonna get tax breaks, there's certain things,
okay, if you're going to have a tax free organization, you're
going to your speech will be controlled. That's why we never
went that route. For this very reason, you don't want the
government telling you what you can and can't do.
Well, that's gone by the wayside, I think and unless it
gets challenged, that means the next next president, because the
next the 2010 election, you're gonna have a lot of
fundamentalist preachers, evangelists preachers, telling
people to vote for Trump. Because you know, they're gonna
do that, especially if Bernie runs because he's a socialist.
Religion. He's an atheist. He put a stop you want to vote for
an atheist? You know, so we are so this is like a little, little
thing that nobody you know, this shouldn't be a scandal to me. I
thought it was so terrible, but oh, they're too stupid.
Now the vindman vindman
Zinman vindman. Guy, Lieutenant Colonel, please. In fact, I
think Biden should have been called out for not calling in
Lieutenant Colonel.
Yes, I think there was a big issue.
So this is a report this may set a new trend and I don't this is
a classic democracy now kind of let's add a new element to the
way we report stories Okay, and this is the report on the old
the old El Paso shooting apparently they've found the guy
guilty or whatever and but the way it was reported to me
introduces some real problems.
I'm looking for the clip John. Which one Oh, sorry.
It says report on old got it.
No Paso, Texas, the white man suspected of killing 22 people
and now pass gotta
love that's that white man report. You know
what this is? You can't? How do you get away with saying the
white man? Well, it's kind of you're gonna say the black man,
the Puerto Rican that Mexican? You're gonna start using that
all time is an adjective in front of whoever's doing stuff.
I mean, if you start doing that, you're gonna go down the road to
perdition but let's play it again.
I think that the white man is the new Florida man. Yeah, like
instead of a Florida man, just start over just replace Search
and Replace a Florida man with a white man.
You know Paso, Texas, the white man suspected of killing 22
People at no pass a Walmart last August has been charged with
federal hate crimes. The alleged killer is accused of targeting
Latinos in a racially motivated massacre moments before the
August third shooting. The shooter published an online
manifesto echoing President Trump's rhetoric about an
invasion of immigrants. Trump
boy Well, if you're gonna
pay attention, this white man thing Yeah, if you I will do
that with all black criminals. Did you tell me a robs a bank?
The I just don't see. I mean, I don't see this.
Okay. Well, to be fair, in context of the report, which
claims it was racially motivated against brown people, although
they said Latinos should have said brown people to be honest,
that's that would be the style guide. If you're gonna say a
white man, he has a shot brown people. That would be fair, but
I think he did. No, but in the context, it was a racially
motivated. I'm going to wind up with three clips for today about
the homelessness situation in Austin, Texas, which is quickly
becoming a model of how not to do things, especially when you
have examples of California, Washington state, Oregon. We
have very clear models of how it does not work. So we'll start
with a second. We start with a big Now this actually happened
earlier in the week. We had a very big fire under under a
highway here in Austin.
Couches TVs. Propane tanks
actually padlocked areas, mattresses, trash and literally
hundreds of meals smoking entire system of underground homes.
stovetops referred to Raiders bunk beds, all built into this
bridge. I like landscaping. And so I dug it the gas cave into
the wall under the bridge, about 10 feet off the ground. The
bridge Johnson believes he's one of about 100 people living under
the bridge.
I mean, I got the furnace and chimney in there and it's nice
and warm and cozy. This
catacomb like camp spans roughly three football fields. Monday
morning it went up in flames.
For medical calls a lot. We've always feared there being a
fire. Well, there was a fire. Upon arrival, there were no
residents of the camp that we had to deal with. And rescue.
Everyone appears to be okay. Though firefighters were worried
about spaces and possibly people they just couldn't reach it is
definitely a very unsafe situation for firefighters. As
they're gonna have to dig through this stuff for hours.
Hazmat has been called in just to make sure that you know, it's
safe for
our guys to go down there
tech stocks and hazmat to the scene as their bridge inspectors
were unable to access the fire starting point. Otherwise,
they become very resourceful and dealing with lack of no power.
So there's a generator that we have to account for that leaking
into the watershed.
Last week, the city began cleaning up homeless camps and
watersheds as part of a $250,000 year long contract that could be
extended. The city is flexible on how many sites to clean up
this year. The right now they're slated to clean approximately 20
This site was not on the city's initial list of spots to clean
and TxDOT tells us the bridge is fine rich Johnson tells us the
room he carved out under that bridge is also okay. He plans to
return as soon as possible.
So this was quite to me quite spectacular three football
fields of dwelling space dugout underneath the highway
apparently not deign any danger to the integrity of the
structure, but something called Fire and burning is all kinds of
stuff. Yeah. The guy who will you heard the beginning of the
report says Oh, no, I'm like, I like building things. And you
know, he could be an architect, I guess. But now he decides to
do that under the bridge. And I have no I really am losing
compassion for the campers because that's what this is.
This is they've been driven out of downtown so no longer do we
have people camping in downtown Austin by ordinance but go ahead
and just go out anywhere else you want to and these aren't
even Austinites anymore that these are many of them vagrants
and harassing people in their cars with squeegees etc. And I'm
becoming quite negative about them. As always, we have our
monthly meeting in Austin, it happens on Thursday, you heard
in the report, hundreds of needles found around this camp.
This is from the Thursday council meeting councilmember
Allison alter, she had something to say about these needles.
And I just wanted to point out because, you know, folks are
expressing concern over the needles that people use needles
for health reasons and for insulin and other stuff. And I
believe that's what we were seeing. And so I just wanted to
throw that out there that a lot of folks that are homeless have
health issues and are using the needles for for health reason
that doesn't make them safe to be on the ground. But but it is.
That is one of the reasons that we may be finding those in those
periods.
Well, this woman is about to be run out of town. Oh, yeah. It
under the needles are clearly for health issues for insulin,
which I'm sure they have in their refrigerator right nearby.
This is How insane is become in Austin, Texas, that she can't
even admit that people are doing drugs. No, no, no, no, it's for
health reasons. Don't be so mean to them, please. So now the city
of Austin has yet again a fabulous idea. If you recall, we
had a consultant come in who the reports at the time where she
quit after one day on the job. Now they've changed that to four
months but she really didn't do anything. But don't worry. We
found that another consultant
he wants done is recruiting more help internally and externally
to work on homelessness issues. Today. The
council approved hiring Matthew Doherty as a consultant already
helped shape national homelessness policy for years
takes an
investigator Kevin Clark spoke to city management about the
decision to increase staffing and the difficult lessons
learned last year.
Tea lives life on the streets. She's far removed from the
homelessness policy debate inside City Hall where the
movers and shakers are changing again. The city wants to pay
close to $100,000 to Matthew Doherty, who would work through
the end of September to help Austin Doherty has national
connections having been Executive Director of the United
States Interagency Council on Homelessness.
We're certainly looking forward to his ideas so ultimately
recommendations that he provides connections and coordination
This
comes as Austin is creating a homelessness services division
within the city's public health department. It It's expected to
include multiple full time employees and a public
information officer
that gives what was a one person homeless Strategy Office. It
gives it the support that we need and believe believe is much
more appropriate.
Laurie Pam pilo. Harris resigned as Austin's homeless strategy
officer on the job less than four months and emails from
December about her long term goals for homelessness policy.
She told city management, I was hoping for enough time to do an
appropriate assessment, asset mapping and intersectional
discovery that would lead to some concrete planning and
action steps. I never was given the space or time to do this
appropriately, or with the focus needed. She also told staff I
have seen it being exhibited from elected officials that they
are looking for the solutions for today and not the solving of
the issue for the future. I have a challenge with that. It was a
lot
that Laurie could have a lot of additional support from an
administrative perspective that Laurie didn't have that we've
certainly learned in terms of lessons.
sorely lacking from this report about the brand new consultant
to fix Austin's homelessness problem is the actual background
of Matthew Doherty, who was appointed in 2015 by the Obama
administration to lead the US Interagency Council on
Homelessness, which was tasked with coordinating the federal
response to homelessness across 19 agencies, including
Department of Housing, urban development, education, labor
and commerce, and was fired last year by the Trump administration
for utter failings mainly in California. This is the dickhead
we're bringing here to fix it in Austin. Can you believe that
shit?
Yeah, of course. And they don't even really do in Austin. They
don't just thrown it away, don't
even report it. And it's gonna something's gonna happen.
You know? I think the point that really the real point is, why
wasn't that reported by the news media that you have there in
Austin? They can look it up. You looked it up.
It was so hard. I had to do a whole search and type the guy's
name and spell it properly is insane. I can understand how
hard it is
so much worse. Oh my god. It's like everyone's a teenage girl
that he Oh, oh, do I have to? Do I have to
really really, really disappointing.
That's funny. Yes.
So the struggle continues in the capital of the drone Star State,
everybody. And on Thursday, I have an OTG update that I'm
dying to share with you. We got lots of good stuff and who the
heck knows what else is gonna happen? Because it's nuts out
there. Oh, by the way, United Kingdoms of England and get more
nation east. Good luck with that storm. They got a massive storm
coming. Like everything shut down. No flights, no trains
bridges, that looking at at 90 mile an hour winds? Yeah. So
we're thinking of you. We're thinking of you. We're thinking
we're thinking about Stuart. Yeah, please think of us
consider supporting the value for value network of the no
agenda show at divorce. act.org/na. And we look forward
to returning back to you. Probably with them. If we still
if we don't if we're alive. We'll have an update on the
Wuhan virus. And everything else is going on coming to you from
opportunity zone 33 in the frontier of Austin, Texas,
capital of the drone Star State. We are FEMA Region number six
and proud of it in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're having a little wind
storm up here. I'm John C. Dvorak we
return on Thursday right here are not enough. Not not not. No
agenda. Until then. Adios mofos and such Oh, yes. End of shows
from Fletcher and Starkweather back up and a backup and a
backup and a back Come on.
He violated the Constitution and I don't count driving as the
issue doesn't make it right. Everybody knows who this guy is.
That's astounding. That's fine.
You see is so sad. You're fired.
I'm looking forward to this man's heart are talking about
grand experiment we call democracy will have been
fatal and fatal. Fatal daily. Daily road greater safety hazard
system. Let's go
by Republican opponents gotten out of politics
neckties. Already the Mac guy started to cry
some fun this is
why I always say you have to take yourself because nobody
else is going to do
henceforth for with indomitably, affirmatively where the
Democrats,
Joe, I want to answer, really, I think you should come over.
I keep listening to the same debate, and it is not real.
I'm the President of the United States. I have all of the
power click for Republicans and Democrats. We saw
what happens when that happened.
These things are all connected. But that's the point. So are all
of the things that need to change?
Americans feel like the political parties have been
playing, you lose, I lose, you lose, I lose for years and you
know, who has been losing this entire time? We have
a drug offense, they go directly mandatory prison. I mean,
Misumi, mandatory treatment, not prison. But
at the end of the day, there's no way around it. You may wanna
nibble around the edges,
corruption. That's what we can run out. We bring our party
together. It's an issue we can all agree on. And sites have to
end the corruption.
I got this bill. Well, the reality is
actually Joe Biden's right.
They call me I talked to them and I believe I can get it done
meeting the moment meeting the moment we had a moment the last
few weeks.
Close your eyes. Everybody remember what you saw on
