I got a really disturbing note on my door today. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak is Thursday, January 7 2016. Time once again
if you're getting our nation media assassination This is
episode 788. This is no
agenda.
deconstructing the war on crazy and broadcasting live from the
Capitol the drone Star state here in FEMA Region six in the
capital. That would be in Boston Tejas in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry,
and from the capital of Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
It's the beer I shouldn't be drinking beer in the morning
started saying things twice. In the morning when snow on Hey,
oh, ale, how's your neuroplasticity?
My neuroplasticity is quite good. How do you know it's good?
Because I can sense it.
You remember when we were harping on NPR, and PBS
advertising as and specifically around Lumosity?
Lumosity. Remember Lumosity? No, I don't remember. I mean, I know
Lumosity, but I remember as harping on it.
Yeah. Because they made all these claims about
neuroplasticity. And we looked at the rules of NPR
underwriting, and you can't make these kinds of claims. And now
it turns out that the claims they were making, oh,
it was a while ago about all those stupid yes process. Yes.
There's the getting
the games you probably smarter. You buy an app, and then you
play some games. And the next thing you know, you're a genius.
Yeah. So the Federal Trade Commission fined them $2 million
for deceptive advertising practices and names
specifically. ads that ran on NPR.
Hold on a second. Let me get this straight. Yeah, My point
exactly. So they got busted for false advertising on a show on a
network that has no advertising.
So not false at making false claims. It's false data. Well,
same. Yeah. Lumosity preyed on consumers fears about age
related cognitive decline, suggesting their games could
stave off memory loss, dementia and even Alzheimer's disease.
But Lumosity simply did not have the science to back up its ads.
And they're very, very clear. Here. Lumosity spots ran on CNN,
Fox News, History Channel, National Public Radio, Pandora,
Sirius XM, and Spotify. And I remember that NPR was inundated.
That's why we brought it up. So what is this stupid play your
game thing? And apparently, the they wanted to find them 50
million. But because they're doing so poorly, they only have
to pay two
figures. They'd never get any money.
But I think it still remains something to be investigated,
that these deceptive ads were run as underwriting and
sponsorship on NPR.
Unbelievable. That's a great catch. It's an MLB clip of the
day
if it were a clip. Yeah, I don't I don't have a clip.
It was funny because in the newsletter, I mentioned that,
you know, people pass this around CNN is trying to figure
out what to do about you know, DVRs and everything that keeps
people from actually watching any of the advertisements.
Yeah, this is the the three minute native advert ads they
want to do. So
they want to do three minute native as Intel, by the way is
already in on this. They said you sign us up. Sure. First
company to do that. I
think I already saw one. Which Where did I see that? It was in
the Intel drone that can follow you along. And it was kind of
disguised as a CES report. And by the way, all ces reports are
kind of advertising one way or the other.
I think half a more native ads. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can kind
of tell you can kind of tell us this, you're not absolute
certainty. But you can kind of talk to some of these guys first
you never heard of that reporter. Right. Right. And then
you hit then they're promoting a product. That's because of the
trends and you know, they're reporting trends. And you kind
of mentioned if you price them maybe be okay right now. Go out
and buy this. Ah, well, I have another bit I have the
discrepant kind of a thing. I want to just kind of start the
show off with this replay this interesting clip. This was on I
think it was on news hour. And it was about taxonomy, and how
important it is and it's about identifying species of animals.
If you become a taxonomist, you and this guy's a specialist in
ants,
we can zoom in and actually see that we will Kokkonen just near
Golden Gate Park in the Presidio in the coastal prairie. And over
here we have the three standard views and an image of the label.
We can quickly load up the ant. And there it is, our beautiful
Formica sub later. Antwerp is a great example. Now anybody,
anywhere at any time can become a taxonomist. You don't have to
be based at a museum. We've discovered but 10% of the living
things on Earth 90% is out there to be found. We need more
taxonomists.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that people are beating down the
doors to higher learning institutions to become
taxonomists.
Why don't people want to become tech? That seems like the job
the restaurant job of the future?
Well, the thing that got my attention? Yeah. Hi,
I'm the I'm the Executive Chef, I'm a Texan.
Discover new and get two things out of this report was pretty
long. But one of them was just more than just the Argentinian
ants in California. I thought they were already been wiped out
all the other populations, but I guess not. The other one was,
and this kind of flies in the face of the global warmest
alarmist. Only 10% of all species have been discovered.
There's right smack dab in the middle of that report on PBS.
There's only 10% of all species have been discovered. How are we
having these species kill offs? isn't part of the bigger cycle.
There's a lot of possibilities there. But you can't say we're
doll 90% of the species living today will be dead. You know,
all these kinds of claims that come out of the global warming
alarmist? And what if only 10% of all species in the world have
been discovered? I don't know where you get that number, by
the way. But here's what he says. I found that that was
interesting. And it was a good little thing to throw back at
people. But somebody brings it up say, Well, you know,
right. Well, you know, huh? Well, you know, there's a lot of
there's always a lot of science talk on the social social
medias.
Everyone knows it's so much better. This is like Neil
deGrasse Tyson, I didn't clip it because like five minutes, he
did a scientific response to the Gettysburg Address. I mean, it's
all of this science stuff. Yeah. And now, it's, it's it's
something that I mean, it's it's not for public consumption can
make you ill.
What was the point of it,
then, to promote the National Science? Was it in the National
Science Committee? What is the commission? What is the
National Institute of Science? That's it? Yeah, I think that
ISIS or something like that, apparently,
Abraham Lincoln created that. And so that's Oh, forget it, the
Gettysburg Address. We're celebrating the creation of us
science in government. That's the message
Well, here's another thing that bothers me besides the 10% of
all species of inniscarra, which kind of throws into question all
these claims about die offs when I watch a lot of these reports,
and I believe this one was on ABC, I get this sort of I think
the public should be noticed this to listen to this. This is
a report we have all this you know the water we're getting a
lot of rain so the our drought is supposed to end but of course
it won't it will never end. But play this this report and tell
me if you can spot the the little problem with this water
report with failed W's
are being diverted into recharge basins where they replenish
groundwater supplies. Gary Hildebrand is the Deputy
Director of the Public Works Department for how much water
are you capturing in these places?
Well, in the storm that occurred yesterday, for example, we're
able to capture 1.6 billion gallons of water, which is
enough water for 40,000 people.
The concern now are these saturated hillsides like this
one that burned in a recent wildfire, the mud
mud is gonna come down. Okay, yeah. Mudslides. So what was
wrong with that report to me? I don't
know. When the minute they went to 160 billion gallons of water,
my eyes glaze over.
He says it's enough to service 40 I think that was was it
40,000 people? Is that 40,000 an hour? 40,000 a day? 40,000? a
month? 40,000 a decade? 40,000 for their lifetime? I don't know
30,000 a year?
How much is it per person?
If you do the math? Well, who cares? Is it per day per month
per year per decade
for what? What we can start off by saying how many how many
gallons that they have
played again? It's a short clip.
Yeah. This do the math people are
being diverted into recharge basins where they replenish
groundwater supplies. Gary Hildebrand is the Deputy
Director of the Public Works Department for how much water
are you capturing
in these places?
Well, in the storm that occurred yesterday, for example, we're
able to capture 1.6 billion gallons of water, which is
enough water for around 40,000 people.
The concern now are these
saturated hills.
Okay, so 1.6 gallons, billion at 1.6 billion. So One six oops.
Could someone please do the math for me it's too early.
Once six I'd have had a calculator up 123
I have a 14 123 is still missing my point for you know, your you
know, your point is right. But I'm just trying to latch into it
trying
to by breaking it down you think you can you can figure out
well I can make a frame I can make an estimation. So I come up
with per person for is it 400 gallons?
I don't know. I'm done. I'm not doing the math. I'm sitting
here. But anyway, the point is, is that you should they the guy
should say it would do and the reporter should say something. I
mean, as it gets, somebody comes down so we got 1.6 billion,
which is good from Foochow subs, which will support 40,000 People
will support him for the all eternity.
I don't know what's for I think it's 40,000 gallons per person.
I don't know I don't know what a person uses.
There you go. Anyway, this is one of my little things that
keep saying Oh,
yeah, of course is a report it's totally valid. It's not let's
say that I mean, I almost don't know where to start. There's a
couple of good things we can talk about. Let's talk about the
Oregon authors that just to get the get going because this is
the thing that irked me the most
there is a there was a solid report in ranchers news or
something that you sent around you sent me a copy Yeah, and if
you put that in the show notes it is paid and people read that
that anyone who starts wow these guys are nuts all these are gun
nuts.
Let me start let me start right there. Because here's what I saw
since you and I last spoke and that is when we said goodbye on
the show because we don't talk in between episodes or even
communicate really
well you did send me that email.
I did. Oh that email Yeah. Just as a hey, take a look say hey
read this hey, we're worth a read I think I said tell them in
the face back here's kind of how it progressed first the mean
came around these guys are terrorists alright so that kind
of stuff and and these are the same people who I know who I've
known many of them I've known for years pretty much all
liberal many Obama bots and Okay, so first it says hey,
these guys are terrorists. And then then and then the next wave
was well if these guys were black that would be dead by now
they'd be shut up there's no way that terrorists and by the way I
think if you use the word militia in the US Constitution
sense and terrorists I don't think they fit in the same
sentence. Because you can say oh, these guys are militia
because they're armed which is another meme that was going
around that we identified that immediately militia militia
militia, it's a bunch of dudes okay militia and then also being
a terrorist in US constitutional sense. It's a bit of an
oxymoron. And then the way this is what really went wacky is
they became white supremacist and we should kill them sin and
John nonstop every common drone those fuckers killer who gives a
shit and then they just keep reaching back if they were
blacks, they wouldn't be on your face Your bag face bag
everywhere everywhere Okay, so let's I have a couple of clips
to back this up because this is mob this doesn't come out of
nowhere. It's influenced by what people who are uneducated and
the the the Oregon background is reasonably complicated. They're
you know, these guys work sentence under terrorist
guidelines. You know, this, I think you should
give a little more background to the anyone listening to this.
Well, this. Okay, so there's two things I'm a little sceptical
about sceptical about these Bundy, Bundy brothers. But the
background is, if you really look at the history of this area
in Oregon, and in fact, in many places, the United States
government has the claim that they need land for public use.
And a lot of allegations are Hey, it looks like all the land
with gold and uranium and all the valuable stuff has been
taken away. And when they take it away, they pay people off
they pay them either in cold hard cash or they give them
grazing rights also in these areas, grazing rights. It's not
it's you know, this stuff has been going on for over 100
years, that you know, your cattle can go on someone else's
land. You can light fires to protect your land, if it spreads
to another, you know, to other land, you're liable. So there's
a lot it's a very, very complicated background, but
through all of the different procedures There's in court
cases and things that have happened throughout the years.
You can see from a ranchers perspective that you know,
you've been closed in more and more and more. The birds don't
like the public Wildlife Park, they're, you know, they're
sitting on your land, the government says, well, we got to
save the birds we have to have your land. So this goes on. And
on this
particular situation, it looks like the government has bought
up everything around this one ran Yeah, this around wanted
these guys to get out. Yes, yes. And they wouldn't budge. Yeah.
The problem I have is the Bundy boys. The now the coincidence of
the President's gun legislation, his townhall with Jake Tapper,
his State of the Union on Tuesday. And these guys just all
of a sudden showing up, and it being translated into the armed
militia armed to the teeth, I really haven't seen a lot of
armed to the teeth footage. And worse, the Bundy boys, they seem
to be clueless. And and I'm wondering, you know what their
motivation is? Here's the most recent little stand up press
thing that I think from last night,
if you have asked us for what is our name, and other than just
citizens that care and feel like it's time that we make a stand
to protect our human rights. We didn't really know what to say.
So you can just see how this when reporters are up there.
Hey, what do you guys call yourself like bright knights of
freedom? Do you call yourselves militia terrorists armed against
all government? What do you call yourselves?
But we felt that we'd give ourselves a name at least so
that we can be reported that way. And we can be more
organised in that effort. That would be citizens for
constitutional freedom.
Okay. Great name our purpose
as we have shown, our purpose is to restore and defend the
Constitution. Okay,
that seems rather futile. And it seems incredibly unorganised.
And they're pandering to the media to give them a name, but
tell everyone what their mission is. It bothers me that this all
happened. Right? And you know, there's no pushback really from
from the feds. Let's do a little round of, of some of the memes
that were out there in cable news and some other mainstream
media just understand how this is affecting people and their
perception of what's going on, which is really a bunch of dudes
hanging out. Like what is it? 11 guys, okay, and they're having a
little tea party.
It seems that this country has a double standard. This is a David
love. He
writes for the Grieux, which is a, a black oriented website used
to be owned by NBC Universal, and apparently the owners bought
it back it seems that this country has a double standard. I
would say it's a colour coded system when it comes to defining
terrorism. Throughout the years, black people have been
criminalised. And, you know, it seems that white people when
they have guns roam around, take over a federal building. It's
okay. I'd argue that if this group had been black or brown,
and Muslim, there would be a much different response actually
a violent response to critics.
How does that equate how does this equate to any other kinds
of protests that he's talking about? or or, you know, killing
your colleagues or killing children? Or it doesn't make any
sense or burning Stein
nonsensical thing. I've noticed this on Twitter, I use every
once awhile, you hear see one of these three tweets, if they can
call Black Lives Matter, folks. thugs, yes. Why can't you call
these Oregon nuts? Terrorists? Well, the good news is I don't
see the connection. But okay.
Well, the good news is under the legal definition, yeah, you can
call them terrorists. You can also call Black Lives Matter
terrorists under the current legal definition, which we
discussed years ago.
That would have been the best retort everybody can I would
have said, I don't know. I think you should call them both
terrible, Zach, what
you're sort of thesis would be saying, well hang on a second,
you know, these aren't protesters in Oregon leading the
witness, and yes, they may be armed. They're not destroying
property. No one's in imminent danger there. What would your
response to them be?
Well, it's good that they're not destroying property. But it's, I
believe that terrorism goes far beyond just, you know,
destroying property. The fact is, is that they're heavily
armed, armed to the teeth
armed to the teeth. I have no real evidence of that.
They are, you know, they are in possession of a federal
building.
You mentioned a word a second ago, I had a separate guest on
from the Washington Post who would agree with you and she
used the word terrorism or would you call this terrorism? Oh,
definitely.
You know, it's not just The matter of violence, but it's the
use of force threatening and intimidating these days, you
have these militia groups, these white militia group white
militia groups at Hayden's, who go around carrying their
weapons. And it's not just a matter of making a political
statement, but they know that they are instilling fear into
the hearts and minds of people. And that's why they're
effective.
I don't know who's very afraid. But I've seen no evidence of
people being very afraid of these guys up in Oregon, just
haven't seen it. And then, today, as you said, the tweeters
they got on it. And of course, we're very creative here in the
US, we came up with all kinds of cool hashtag, there
are no members of law enforcement out here that we can
see they've been here for now, two days going into a third day.
And that has a lot of folks talking on social media, as you
might imagine. There's a lot of criticism saying, well, if they
were armed militia that took over, for example, another kind
of government building, and they happen to be African American,
or they happen to be Muslims, that the response would be very
different.
Joey? Yeah, if they took over a different kind of building.
Yeah, maybe
just listening to Sarah's report and also knowing that that the
head of this Ammon Bundy is walking in and out giving
interviews, he must have control of the situation, you've got
dozens of white American, so called patriots who have taken
control over this? Where is the federal government?
I think we will see the federal government what the response
will be, however, remains an open question.
And last night, Bundy tweeted that we are not terrorists. We
are men who believe in our rights, but they've also he's
also said that they're planning on staying there perhaps for
years if that if need be. This is like a real sort of Occupy
Movement. And there's even a hashtag to that effect.
Everybody remembers Ruby Ridge, everybody remembers many bad
things that happened in the government certainly does not
one, something like that. But critics are arguing that if this
was another group, you know, there are different hashtags out
there now mocking the screen, calling them vanilla, ISIS,
calling them the hottest, they're sort of making fun of
these kinda people in that building, but at the same time,
if this were members of ISIS are proclaimed members of ISIS who
had taken over a facility is it fair to say the response would
in fact be very, very different? And I think that people kind
of hypothetical This is a soul that Hitler insane to go over
the place with that would the response be different? If it was
a bunch of myths that took over the eyes? Would the response be
different
if it was Adolf Hitler we put them on Time Magazine's Man of
the Year twice
if it was women who took over the place with the
responsibility so what exactly response is going to be
different under all circumstances? It's a variable
but now listen to how the responses came to bear came in
these guys this is Joe Scarborough morning jobs
that feel like they can go take over federal buildings. We have
a great idea. Why don't we send the Chicago Police Department
now
let's see how they handle that.
Like I said,
so yeah, so he's approving killing the corrupt Chicago
police is using that as kind of leverage while they were you
know there was in Chicago they beat the crap out of him
unconstitutionally and illegally beat the crap out of him that's
okay. And
what has happened is people are so tired of I think people are
so tired of hearing about these terrorists up in Oregon and what
they're doing and all you know white militia and kk k and Waco
and all these messages are put upon people and if you have to
go read through the through any of the material to understand
what really the background is, and I don't think their method
is right but I understand these ranches being very tired
themselves. But people just get inundated with all this and
there's a fucking I mean, John not once when we've 10 times
Obama should drone them they shouldn't he should drone them
get rid of these eight holes. I'm tired of them. They're
irritating. They're horrible. Face bag, and that's the face
bag. And to me, if if an American
people should just get off of that system? Well, yeah, it is
evil and it locks it's
it's unhealthy, very unhealthy, unhealthy. And just the, the
you're just reading the comments and I'm just sometimes have to
call Tina at work and say, can you just read this? If an if an
American citizen stands up and says, Hey, man, I'm sick and
tired. They're taking away my rights. The default response
from the American citizens on the face bag has become I shut
up and kill him. I'm very troubled. I'm very troubled by
by this. And it's also it's pretty much saying white people
suck in black protesters. White protesters, white guys kill
them. It's You know,
Yeah, nobody's running burn stuff down
at our hub no one, no one suggested droning Occupy Wall
Street. But they did eventually get rid of them, but no one
suggested killing them. This is crime time TV, they had a guy on
former FBI agent white, Steven Moore. And he had some
interesting conclusions in this. Of course, he set up properly by
the interviewer,
I didn't want to ask you though, on a more serious note, if you
think that the militia and also sort of the white supremacist
movement,
they keep doing this militia, which is white supremacy, white
supremacist movement, heard anything
about white white supremacy. And if you read that report in that
publication that you have linked to the show notes, there's no
mention of anything such as this. And they there's no
background and these guys have them indicate this
No, but it's just these memes that are out there. But then it
probably similar to a bunch of black kids running around
burning shit thugs, bunch of white guys with guns in the
prairie. You know, white supremacist,
greater threat to the country than ISIS. I haven't had a
chance to talk to you about that. And we keep hearing from
you know, the the can't Republican candidates, very
little about this particular topic sort of home ground white,
anti government terrorism, homegrown
and white, homegrown white, anti government terrorism.
And nobody talks about it. While I have you here. I just wanted
to ask that question.
The no agenda show talks about it incessantly. I wish
I were both malicious and white supremacist and al Qaeda,
right? This is the guy oh, here's the guy we want to talk
to. This is the guy and he's so gay. You got an unbelievable.
I will I worked both militias and white supremacist and al
Qaeda. I I have a lot of cross pollenization, at least as far
as seeing how they operate. I'll bet you do. Average al Qaeda or
ISIS terrorist is a functional person, the average melissap
militia person is generally not a functional person. These
people it comes in when these people racist comment, when you
get eight years of a Democratic administration, the militias
grow. When you get eight years of a Republican administration,
the militias kind of recede, it's a tide thing going on. So
what you're seeing is
there's their old bigotry. And that comment
is a perceived and I'm not taking sides, but there is a
perceived belief that their constitutional rights are being
eroded. People they don't like are being accepted in society as
equals. And they are powerless. And so what do they do? They do
what a baby does, they cry, just hoping to get some attention and
thinking this will change things but it isn't going to change.
They are not those guys in there willing to die. They don't know
how close they are, but they are not willing to die for this.
They there's this belief they have it's kind of an apocalyptic
belief. Based on if you build it, they will come they think if
you build the revolution, people will come you know armed and
with flags and what they're gonna get is a guy with three
teeth a dog and a pickup truck and and a gun and that's that's
their delusion. They are delusional
three teeth of pickup truck and a gun and a dog and a dog
three teeth a dog gonna pick up choice this is the most bigoted
guy white what's what station are you listening to?
That is a crime TV my forget what it runs on? It's it's less
than one of those. Yeah, it's less. But it was an FBI guy. So
I wanted to Yeah, I wanted to capture that. Yeah. So now my my
real only conclusion on on this is I am very, I'm all for
standing up for your rights. This is public land. You have
the right to assemble, you know, taken over a federal building. I
know these federal buildings at the parks. You know, a bunch of
rangers sitting there smoking weed in the back of this federal
building is a shack Well, it's it's wooden constraints, not
just a shack, it's a it's big enough.
Oh, they had they've went inside. And I want you the way
that when you say Federal Building and in the in the
mainstream media, you think assuming a sky screen? Oh,
I think you're thinking of the Murrow federal building. These
are all little triggers. You're thinking Timothy McVeigh federal
building.
Yeah. That's what I know. I'm not thinking I'm saying that.
That's what they're projecting. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, exactly.
There's only one or two good news outlets that have actually
gone to the building, which is, you know, it's just like a, I
mean, we have over input in Port Angeles. We're right across from
the Olympic. The headquarters are the main building, which is
a federal building for the National Park. Yeah, and this,
that building is right across the street from us is bigger.
And it's just a It's a log cabin. It's a big giant log
cabin with little exhibits inside. So bigger than that
thing they took over, but their way they make it sound as though
they've taken over a federal building. And it sounds as
though it's a big brick and mortar structure of some sort
with the, with the Social, I'm sorry, the social security guys
in their head to rouse them. Yeah. So I don't even think this
is a new story. Well, me, well, if I was the news editor of
publication, or I would put this in the back page, it's
a human interest story that people want because it sets the
stage and it set the stage perfectly for the president's
executive action. Please mind you, people. There was no
executive order anywhere. I'm tired of hearing that if the
news can't even get that, right. It was executive action he took,
which is just the president writing something. And his
agency's changing rules slightly. So I have to say I am
very suspicious of the Bundy brothers. I think their hearts
are in the right place, but the cluelessness of them going out
talking to the media, saying, I don't know you guys want to name
well, we're, you know, we're the we're for the dream one out
Yeah. And what is our what do we want to do? Well, we want to
stop the government from being you know, from encroachment.
That to me, and the fact that no one's doing anything means that
they've been handled and it came just the right time because we
need to put in not just you know, black on black crime, not
just white cops on black cars, we couldn't be half to bring in
more racial tension and work very well. Every single example
I find is white guys with guns with hats crazy sick bucks.
And it is three teeth in a dog
it's it's disturbing. To see how social media propagates this now
we should probably get right
here since worsens. It doesn't just propagate it amplifies and
worsens,
amplifies and worsens. Of course, the President came out
with his executive actions. Of course, I have all the documents
and we can go through those but maybe he did have a backgrounder
on on the President and his announcement. And,
you know, I watched the whole thing I caught it and watch the
entire boring episode.
What's your what how about if I give you a couple of like, I
have ABC, CBS, NBC, I kind of a three by three of how they
announced the press. Why don't you do that? Yeah, we'll do
that. We'll do that little bit
in the president ABC. Obama, who can sometimes seem cool and
distant, broke into tears today at the White House talking about
the victims of gun violence, not just talking. In fact, taking
action on gun control action reaction was fast and fierce
from survivors as the streets of Chicago to the NRA. It was a
rare glimpse
at America's parent in Chief
Oh, the parent in chief.
Why did they said that rare
glimpse that America's parent in chief America's parent and chief
from every family who never imagined that their loved one
would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun.
Camera clicks the only sound in the White House each room as the
normally still with President Obama openly wept and pause to
compose himself
openly wept
I think did not that we we read is very different. But okay,
here's a CBS that would be Boehner he would do that
Boehner is a guy who weeps. Yeah. Obama rubs his shed tear.
He he rubbed it here you rub one out on the podium. CBS islands
more powerful than words the president mourns rooms of gun
violence and takes action to stop it. It is a sight we rarely
see the tears of the most powerful man in the world. Power
less to get the United States Congress to tighten gun control
laws. The President was announcing what he would do by
executive action without Congress. When the memories of
these victims 21st graders from Newtown, Connecticut six or
seven years old, choked Mr. Obama in mid sentence. There
have been 30
notice that none of them show video of what the President
actually said which was it gets me mad. Not it makes me mad. It
gets me mad. Yeah, which I think is Deval telling. But they never
really did just show the picture of him rubbing his
eyes from Newtown, Connecticut six or seven years old. choked
Mr. Obama in mid sentence. There have been 13 mass killings
during the Obama presidency each time Republicans voted against
gun legislation. But last month
on nice says there were 13 mass killings mass shootings each
time Republicans said I let them kill more babies. It's all good
after San Bernardino, Mr. Obama decided to act on his own
although the issue of stricter gun laws As remains highly
divisive 92% of Americans support background checks. But
the President in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings failed to
get legislation through Congress that would have expanded them.
The National Rifle Association reacted to the President's
remarks with a hail of tweets in real time, saying President
Obama's executive orders will do nothing to improve public
safety. The deep pocketed group issued this warning to any
lawmakers thinking of siding with the President. FYI, all NRA
grades are subject to change. Let's
go to the final one. This is NBC. They're very excited
because they are now so involved in the script. And it's NBC.
They're going one step further,
back at 730. We promised a big announcement here at the White
House their next Tuesday in a morning show. First, we're going
to broadcast our entire show there. This is unprecedented.
This is the day of President Obama's very last State of the
Union address, we will have unique access inside the White
House for the entirety of our show we're gonna have some rooms
that are rarely seen by the public walking through them. And
of course, we're gonna sit down with the President as well talk
about some of the issues facing his presidency in its final year
that is
today at the White House. We're gonna call it today takes over
the White House but the Secret Service probably next Thursday
morning, right
here on today.
Yeah, unprecedented access.
She talking about the Secret Service had a problem with the
title today takes over the White House.
Yeah, because that sounds like terrorists. They can call
whatever they want. The Secret Service did not allow I think
that's bullshit. Probably. Okay, I think we should talk about
specifically what the President what executive actually yeah.
Okay. And once you do that, because I do have two clips on
this, and I don't know if they're any different than
yours.
Probably. Um, I'm gonna leave the war on crazy for the last
but first, sorry,
I was gonna say you wanted the Obama in tears. I believe this
clip to Obama and tears clip. Okay, is this actually has this
is the
way now it's also possible that he screwed up the read on the
teleprompter. They're rolling back trying to figure out where
he was, and the, you know, he just took advantage of the
situation.
President Obama today unable to hold back tears. As he remember
20 children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Every time I think about those kids, that gets me mad. And by
the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day.
In the three years since Newtown, he's failed to get any
sweeping new gun laws through Congress. Today. The frustration
and emotions surfaced forced to propose far more modest
executive action.
All right, so he does that Chicago comment I think he I
think that sounds like something he threw in at the end because
he knew he was gonna get flack.
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's Oh, I'm sure everything he
listened to his cadence. It was a little different. Somebody
wrote us and said that the tear was followed by us a very subtle
smile a little a little subtle smile, which is a psychopath.
Yeah,
I think you know, it doesn't really matter. I
enjoy the comedy. I think we go on because this
everywhere ramp and conspiracy. He used VIX. He used an onion.
He had some kind of movie stuff to do it. By the way, whatever
to good trick. I can make myself cry. You put me a
lot of accurate. There's a lot of actors and actresses that can
and obviously I've been in high school. We had a guy that could
do
it. But we need to review what he actually said. Every time I
think of those children. It gets me mad. Not it makes me mad. It
gets me mad.
Well, it gets him mad, but he doesn't make if he had said it
makes me sad
or mad. It'd be either but he said it gets me mad. Yeah,
because he's mad about something that
moment of the tear. That's when he's supposed to use the word
sad. Not mad.
Right? Yeah. Should be anger. Anger, not sorrow. Good point.
Better. Yeah. Okay. Now to some of the specifics. I just want to
use the President's own words.
The problem is, some gun sellers have been operating under a
different set of rules. A violent felon can buy the exact
same weapon over the internet with no background check. No
questions asked. A recent study found that about one in 30
people looking to buy guns on one website had criminal
records, one out of 30 had a criminal record
so what he's saying and we've caught this earlier was it that
said I don't know how they how they how people buy guns on the
internet was that wasn't the President now there was effort
forgot who that was. But anyway, go on. When you buy a gun on the
internet, unless you're buying on Craigslist from some guy, you
know, meeting him on a corner which you There may be a there's
a problem with, you know, people giving stuff to each other. You
don't they don't ship you the gun to your home, you get it
from a federally licenced firearms dealer. And they cannot
hand that firearm to you until you've done a background check.
But the insinuation is on the internet, you know, there's no
background checks at gun shows, oh, there's no background checks
on true. If you buy a gun at a gun show you still you probably
will have to pick it up. Unless there's a federally licenced
firearms dealer right there. You still cannot just get hand over
the cash and take it with you. Now, can you meet a guy outside
in the corner and grabbed and make a deal? Yeah, of course you
can? Of course you can. But background checks, they're done.
They're in every single state. But the insinuation that somehow
online, it doesn't work that way. No. And it appears that a
lot, a lot of legislators don't even know this.
Well, the most of this is based on a number of lies. point out
the fact that there it says Obama got into office, we've put
probably another 100 million guns or at least 50 million more
on the street. And gun violence has reduced since Obama got in
from the day got in, it's reduced from seven per 100,000.
gun deaths to 3.8. Per 100,000. It's gone down drastically. This
is never discussed. And in fact, a survey that was done of the
public in general 56% of the public believes that gun
violence has gone up based on this hyperbole done by the
President and others, that so most people think it's gone up,
in fact, it's gone way down. And this whole thing is all based on
lies. And so the internet lie that I'm going to order a gun
and it's going to show up in my in my mailbox, you know, all UPS
gun, a nice Glock, you know, just showing up is all part of
this whole thing is a giant lie. And I have a theory about that
too. But I want to hear the rest of what you have to say.
Okay, so it mainly focused on the the loopholes, the
background checks, the idea that we're going to make things
better and sell less guns by moving background checks systems
to a 17 hour per day availability to a 24 hour seven
day a week availability, to me means you're making gun sales
possible by another eight hours, I don't understand. It seems
like okay, thanks. Now we can always do a background check.
It's just going to be easier for
him interesting catch,
drive, and that's that's
gun sales.
All the gun guys I've talked to Chris Chris is on his way to the
town hall. Chris Jacob, one of our huge supporters, Sir Chris.
And he's going to be at the town hall with Jake Tapper. And, you
know, you'll see that these things will have to be
straightened out. But he's like, this is kind of good, you know,
enhance he had the owns gun stores, had the background
checks. 24/7. Great. Now, we can always do a background check. I
don't know, I just don't. And that seems to me like, that's
just an improvement. Just before the President did his speech, he
had a little sit down because he will sit down with the country
and western singer Loretta, Loretta Lynch there. And he I
think he misspoke here, maybe just a little bit. But this is
true feeling about the mental health part of the executive
action.
What I asked my team to do is to see what more we could do to
strengthen our enforcement can prevent guns from falling into
the wrong hands, to make sure that criminals, people who are
mentally unstable, those who could pose a danger to
themselves or others are less likely to get
people who are mentally unstable, the President says
should not have access to guns. Of course, the issue is who
determines who's mentally unstable. And this is what I
focused on. Maybe before we get to that, I'd like to do one. On
one little clip here that the president during and this was
this whole sequence was unbelievable. To me. This brings
in the Constitution. The President, of course, a
constitutional lawyer, or I'm sorry, scholar is the new term.
He's a constitutional scholar will shit I'm a constitutional
scholar, am I not? Yeah, he's not even saying he's a
constitutional lawyer. But listen to this.
I want to be absolutely clear at the start. I've said this over
and over again. This also becomes routine. There's a
ritual about this whole thing that I have to do. I believe in
the Second Amendment. It's there written on the paper
on the paper.
It's, I believe the Second Amendment is written there on
the thing hang em, the paper, what do you call them? The
paper, the paper and then listen to the continuation right after
you said. And the thing there on the paper on the paper and the
papers on the paper.
It guarantees a right to bear arms.
No, it does not, Mr. President. It guarantees that your natural
right to bear arms shall not be infringed by laws. That is, what
guarantees shall not be infringed by laws is this guy
really a constitutional lawyer
is never a gets worse,
it gets worse.
guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people
try to twist my words around. I taught constitutional law. I
know a little bit about this. I know
this on the paper. I know what's on the paper. I know a little
bit about what's in the paper.
I get it, I get it. But I also believe that we can find ways to
reduce gun violence consistent with the Second Amendment
by Yeah, but not by creating laws that infringe upon the
people's right to bear arms. Now, do we have all kinds of
rules and regulations for all other kinds of amendment? Sure,
but that is not how a constitutional lawyer maybe how
a constitutional scholar would speak. But it's on the paper I
believe
in the Second Amendment. It's there written on the paper
that should go down in history man, the paper
it was written on its head to the at that event I that was
galling. But the other thing was interesting. He got a number of
standing ovations. And the first one was the most telling because
it had everybody jumped up except that there was a there
was three black guys right in the front row who are clapping,
but they refuse to stand up. But they went on too long. So they
decided to stand up, they stood up, and one of them then the
next one stood up next to him. And then who is the last person
the absolute last person is an entire crowd to stand up during
the doing I think pretty much every one of these standing
ovations, the last person, last person to stand.
Was it a congress person, a politician,
Comey.
Now he's well, first of all, he's he's eight feet tall,
because I gotta gotta get up again. take so much
time it was the last night that he stood up last and he clapped
slowly. And it was a slow clap. Yeah, he's a slow clapper. And,
and as an aside, by the way, I want to tell people out there if
you're giving speeches or talks, or you're doing anything, and
you have a lavalier mic on, please do not clap her. If you
clap, clap, clap to the left right by the mic. And it sounds
like gunshots.
Yeah, the sound booth is not happy people. Anyway, so I got
it. So there. He wasn't up there on stage. He had a lot of the
Sandy Hook parents. And also there was Chris Hurst, Chris
hearse. This is the alleged boyfriend of Alison Parker, the
journalist who was allegedly killed on camera in Virginia.
Right, Virginia? I didn't know I didn't notice that he was there.
But that's,
well, the was it to think maybe CNN someone caught up with them
outside. Okay, and to ask me just what I was doing all that.
And I've always had this, this issue with this guy, where it
almost seems like, Well, yeah, if you go back and listen to
previous shows, where this guy is very, very strange as his
boyfriend like reactions, but that he said something about
being at this event, and maybe about the event in general that
I don't know, words matter to me. I hate it when people talk
about, you know, actors killed people in the scene, you know,
all of this stuff, just too many Hollywood references, say
reported and investigated. And once you answer that question,
then that kind of guides you as to whether or not you really
think that something should be done by our government. How are
you doing? I mean, I woke up this morning and was staring at
the hotel ceiling, wishing that I could return this contract
that I signed, that that she was going to be here with me that we
were going to have our life together and that this wasn't
going to be the most traumatic five months of my entire life.
But I feel a duty to honour her with action. And right now, I'm
a storyteller and the only thing I can do is share the love that
we had together.
I don't like it I don't like talking about contracts that he
signed and he wish he could have not signed the contract but he
also says something kind of cold blooded that he's a storyteller.
No be just before that. You'll play it again. Play it again.
I'm assuming get off that first bit was just to get you in the
mood for him. Okay, here we go.
I mean, I woke up this morning and was staring at the hotel
ceiling, wishing that I could return this contract that I
signed.
Alright, is that the part or after the next thing okay.
that, that she was going to be here with me that we were going
to have our life together and that this wasn't going to be the
most traumatic five months of my entire life.
Isn't that strange?
She was going to be here with me. It wasn't going to the
contract, what is he talking about? He
says he signed the contract. If it's a metaphor for your for
your fate in life, then you say, Hey, I got a bone.
I'm gonna be there with him at this event and
why a contract, we
were going to have our life together and that this wasn't
going to be the most traumatic five months of my entire life.
Maybe he? I don't know. It's just I find that to be a very
poor metaphor to us about your dead girlfriend, that you had a
contract.
And you signed it also sounded cold blooded, the way it was
described what she's saying, like
he made a deal with the devil. He said, I wish I hadn't signed
this contract. And she would have been here with
the hotel ceiling, wishing that I could return this contract
that I signed. Whoa, sorry. I don't like it.
Well,
you don't care what I, I don't like it. Alright, so the, to me,
the most dangerous part of what the President did is not that
anything really changed. I mean, all of these executive actions,
were just saying, Hey, we got to enforce what we already have on
the books, which is the you know, the expansion of the
National Instant Criminal Background Check System. And
now, here is what has changed in the HIPAA laws because that's
really what this is about. The HIPAA laws protect the privacy
of every individual in the United States who has a medical
health record, but any any health record really. So they
cannot be used to put you on I don't know a list. And here is
the change made depart 164 of US Code 130 1302 A and as a couple
others, that is now marked as 160 4.5 12 uses and disclosures
for which an authorization or opportunity to agree or object
is not required. And this is for disclosing information to the
National Instant Criminal Background Check System, a
covered entity, and we'll get to that may use or disclose
protected health information for purposes of reporting to the
National Instant Criminal Background Check System the
identity of an individual who is prohibited from possessing a
firearm under 18. United States Code nine to two g for which I
have for you provided the covered entity is a state agency
or other entity that is or contains an entity that is an
entity designated by the state to report or which collects
information for purposes of reporting on behalf of the state
to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System or so I
think this is more important any entity designated by the state
to report or which collects information for purposes of
reporting on behalf of the state to the background check system,
or it could be a court, a board like Commission, or other lawful
authority that makes the commitment or add Jude occation
that causes an individual to become subject to 18 USC 922.
And also these entities discloses the information only
to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System or or an
entity designated by the state to report on which it collects
information so they can go two ways. So it can be reported back
to these entities who have been designated by the state whatever
that is, that could be anybody I guess. And it discloses only the
limited demographic and certain other information needed for
purposes of reporting to the National Instant Criminal
Background Check System. Now, this isn't the only thing that's
really changed here is you're now allowed and I believe we
will see that you are required to report a person who is and
here's the legal term, adjudicated as mental defective.
And this is a this is that 18 USC 922 G for persons as
adjudicated, as a mental defective or committed to a
mental institution. A person is adjudicated as a mental
defective if a court board commission or other lawful
authority has made a determination that a person as a
result of market subnormal intelligence, mental illness, in
competency, condition, or disease, is a danger to himself
or others lacks the mental capacity to contract or manage
his own affairs, or is found insane by a court in a criminal
case or is found incompetent to strand Kreil to stand to stand
trial. So when you take a competency, condition, disease
now disease, autism, it's a disease. It's in the DSM five,
if you are on this on the spectrum, and I think pretty
much every kid today is on the spectrum that should be reported
into any of these entities. It can be reported and you You will
be put on a list. That is what is going on. Now how does how
does that propagate? I had the first example came to us from
our friend from Hartman,
Craig Mata Bannister, who's been on this programme a number of
times. It's been a while since Craig was on. He asked the
question are climate sceptics to mentally ill to buy guns under
Obama's new rules? And I'm inclined to say yes.
Yeah, this is this is where we're going people stand back.
You want to hear is his reasoning for him to say yes.
Oh, yeah.
He points out that the current law and prohibits individuals
from buying a gun if because of mental health issues, they are
either a danger to themselves or others. Then he goes on this
logic change. Hey, it's okay. If President as President Obama has
repeatedly claimed climate change is a greater threat than
terrorism, that aren't people who deny the climate threat is a
danger to deny the climate threat? Aren't those people a
danger to themselves and others and thus unfit down guns? And
Craig Madison then goes on to point out that he's not the
first guy to think of this Psychology Today published an
article back in 2012. I'm sorry, 2014 titled you are in climate
change denial, three signs to look for. Number one, you think
climate change is bad, but not that bad to you don't have an
emotional reaction to climate change. Three, you aren't
getting political. Thus, Craig Bannister writes, If you think
the climate threat is great enough, and you're not furious
about it, or you're not politically active in the
climate fight, you've got mental issues. Yeah, the Telegraph
newspaper. climate denial is now a mental disorder disorder. He
explains how so called Eco psychologists convened at the
University of the West of England and Bristol to explore
identifying or classifying climate change denial as a
mental disorder. And then he quotes Gina McCarthy, the EPA
chief under Obama earlier on as saying climate sceptics are not
normal people. So Craig, maybe
maybe blue maybe, maybe this is where this is what's gonna
happen.
That is the sickest thing that's I'm gonna actually give you
borderline Clip of the Day for that. Play that aihole
Oh, that's very kind of you. I didn't even expect that but I
will take a moment I got a note from the head mofo in charge.
lievable. Sir, hmm, si, si Blacknight of the US Army. And
he had a few thoughts. Now, these are guys, you know, the
head megaphone. You know, this is our drill sergeant. These
guys know what's going on in with veterans and with the
current enlisted personnel. When looking at the new executive
actions. The big one that sticks out to me is the mental health
reporting part. My main concern with mental health reporting
provisions is twofold. First, you now can have a
constitutional rights stripped without due process, as a judge
does not have to view the medical evidence and make a
determination to adjudicate you mentally defective. Fantastic
point. Yes. And that is for your constitutional constitutionally
protected natural, right, let's put it that way. If you piss off
your veteran, your VA shrink, they can report you as being
unfit and the government will take their word for it without
any evidence required. What happens if every vet with a PTSD
diagnosis that has sought or is receiving treatment is reported
as unfit by the VA and now they lose their rights. Second, how
many vets and those who need help are now not going to seek
it out of fear of being stripped of the constitutional rights
they've fought to uphold and defend? What effect will this
have on a warfighter on warfighter suicide as though
they are now afraid to get help from the resources that exist
for them? Yeah, dynamite and that's probably one of the main
the main targets because you know, vets are all you know,
they're all crazy white guys. And they all just want to go
kill peace, you most of them probably aren't white, you know,
but just, you know, for the for the point of the ill informed to
create laws.
And now this is a disaster,
it is a huge disaster, this, this mandatory reporting, ah,
ah, well, there's a good depression is gonna get
increased. And I have some thoughts about this too, and the
way it works, and it's all based on these lies that I mentioned
earlier, but I had to play my clip on one of the networks.
Let's see which one is it? The only other clip I got. ABC the
gun report on ABC. Leading to conclusion Gotcha.
President Obama about to take action on gun control on his
own, vowing to use executive action to close the so called
gun show loophole. It is highly controversial and ABC senior
justice correspondent Pierre Thomas on what could change at
gun shows across this country.
A gun shows just like this one over the weekend in Virginia.
Hundreds of firearms are so often with no background check.
This is considered an assault weapons sales brisk and part of
that executive action plan to buy the White House Obama
series. Virginia today not been that's different from when 2020
watched as the brother of one of the Virginia Tech massacre
victims, trying to raise awareness of the loophole,
legally buying an armful of guns at the Virginia gun show with no
background check
when I'd tell him how much you want for 40 or 50 bucks. Here's
the cash, thanks. See later,
but tonight, the executive order being considered would affect
many of those sellers to supplement their income with gun
sales, calling on them to register as federal firearms
dealers.
This is not going to solve every violent crime in this country.
It's not going to prevent every mass shooting, it will
potentially save
lives critics to game even before the details came out. Now
this president wants to act as if he's a king.
And peers with us now live here, the White House has heard this
argument before, but this proposed executive order on gun
shows would not have prevented the purchase of guns used in
many of the recent shooting rampages, including San
Bernardino.
That's right, David, the gun show loophole would not have
affected most of the recent mass shooters. Those sales typically
were through federal gun dealers, and background checks
were in fact,
David Murray, Pierre Thomas live in our Washington bureau
tonight.
This is this anti gun thing has been a slow process. It's taken
a long time and the finale to it is not going to be Obama, it's
going to be probably Hillary or somebody after
this. I think this is just looking at the Bundys being
placed right on time, looking at the executive action, looking at
the town hall looking at his final State of the Union speech.
And he just wants to say, I did what Congress didn't do. But I
did it do. Didn't do didn't do didn't do I did what Congress
didn't do. You wouldn't do.
He? Anyway. So this continues on it we have and this is against
the background of lessened gun violence by an extreme and more
guns in play. Yeah, and the fact that none of these things, the
terror watch list, oh, they shouldn't get get none of these
things had would have if all was in play, none would have any
effect on any of the events that took place, which are the mass
shooting, right? This leads to the following sort of speech to
be given by somebody in the future, if you know, it's gonna
not gonna be in time for Obama, say, here's what we've done. In
the light of all this increased violence, and these mass
shootings, and we just had another one, let's say, right,
we've done all these things. Clearly, all these things we've
done is not enough. Yeah, we must do more. And then they
bring in more stuff and do more. So this is an attempt to
confiscate all the guns in the country. And the easiest way to
do it take forever. I mean, it's gonna be on its way. But and
it's already talked about going in and grabbing guns from the
criminally insane or the insane.
No, you already have it in California. Yeah. Yeah. By the
way, just highlighting from the rule, that his rules, the rules,
specifically prohibits the disclosure of diagnostic or
clinical information from medical records or other
sources, and any mental health information beyond the
indication indication that the individual is subject to federal
mental health prohibited for. So that comes back to you know,
your rights even have a trial on that? No, no, they just say
you're, you're not stable. And I this is, this is just the
beginning. Because once you are deemed not fit, mentally, you're
mentally state not stable enough. Your mental hygiene is
not clean enough for you to have a gun. Before you know what it's
going to be. You probably shouldn't be around children,
you probably shouldn't live near school, you know, you probably
shouldn't go to the mall. And you should wear this star on
your jackets. I always love the star, but it's the best. If you
want to know what really the thinking is behind this. Let's
ask the actual 44th President of the United States, Ms. Valerie
Jarrett, who did interviews, and now she's an adviser to the
president. But she's out there doing interviews with the flag,
and then the Presidential seal in the background. And she's
standing there like she is our president, and
we lose 30,000 people a year
30,000 A year that's less than automobiles, to gun violence,
two thirds of those to suicide, that is something that I need
think needs to be discussed.
Yes. In fact, when he said that, I was listening to one of these
things, and I didn't realise that two out of three of these
is suicide, or death or suicide, which means that the gun
violence is only accounts for 10,000 not 30,000. But they
said, Well, you know, if it wasn't for the gun, they
wouldn't have killed themselves. That doesn't make any sense at
all. That's the part that I don't understand why I mean, if
someone wants to kill themself
Well, there's this I know it's some of these arguments aren't
one of them is if someone wants to kill something and slit their
wrists, well a lot of times you can catch them while they're
still bleeding to death and stop it and save them and then they
won't want to die or they can take pills well a lot of times
that doesn't work and then they wake up you know in a house but
then you're already where you want to be if if you're if
you're contemplating suicide or you take pills boom no guns for
you. Voice you know guns for you know goes for you
and guns anyway. Boom, no guns. Are they jump off the bridge?
Sometimes they can live through that. With a gunshot to the
head. You can actually sometimes live through that too. I mean,
Brady, the Reagan's.
Some of the Clintons friends needed two shots of the head to
die. So yeah, well, he was aiming Suicide. Suicide. Yeah.
And he did it with a gun in his left hand even though he was
right handed. And that's a but if
two thirds are suicides I just doesn't just get really chosen.
Yeah, that doesn't help the debate kept coming up in the
conversation too much that they had there can actually reveal
it.
But it's interesting on face bag, I see these convert
conversations prop crop up about suicide, and people will say,
what were they were they killed by a gun or not? Yeah, but as
soon as I bro doesn't matter, it's gotten to us. Okay,
I have seen that exact same lame argument. Yeah. It makes the
assumption that if it wasn't for guns, they wouldn't feel like or
commit suicide. Yeah. suicidal person. You know, they just want
to kill themselves into the guns handy and they use the gun
because it's effective.
Yeah, effective is the word. It's not necessarily cleaner.
No, but it's not a mess. They have to clean up
the more guys do that for you. You're gonna have to worry. So
there it is. It's there's nothing really new except for
the exclusionary measures for the HIPAA regulation, which in
general, you should always be extremely worried about your man
and he's
gonna take the logic of this to the to a kind of a dystopian
extreme we have and I think the Thom Hartmann clip fits right
into this if you're going to actually seriously this these
guys weren't joking guy wrote the essay in the heart, man.
Yeah, that if it's if you have doubts about climate change,
manmade global warming, you can you can be considered insane.
You could be I know people and you know, um, and you have
dinner with them people that would say, how could you vote
for that guy, you have to you must be insane. You should be on
a list, they're gonna report me. So it becomes a political lever
at some point where you have to think a certain way, lockstep,
vote a certain way, or you get on a list. And that list starts
with guns. And it goes on to other things, as you mentioned,
so you can pretty much want just throw people in the gulag and
get it over with
that is the idea and, and just take into account how many
people are on SSRIs in the United States? How many people
are on oxy? I mean, we're talking 50 60 million for sure.
But the actual number in 2012 was, I think, 110 million US
adults. Maybe there's double prescriptions in there doesn't
matter. Every single one of you not allowed to own a firearm.
You can take the vote away from these people too. But it's
but it's yeah, oh, yeah. But it's not about I think it's not
about the insane be alive. Thank you. Thank you. There it is.
There it is. It's all about what you can do once you're on the
mental health deficiency list which we fit in with odd
Oppositional Defiant Disorder it's in the DSM five it is an
actual disorder it these guys
also amounts to the short phrase for it would be questioning
authority Yep, you do that yeah, you're out you're out no right
to vote no this no that let the corrupt politicians take over
the place. This is horrible. And Obama and his whole group and
all the people that subscribe to this crap should be ashamed of
themselves because they're not thinking clearly they're
thinking short term. They feel good short term Me me me things.
In fact, talking about me, me me I do have a clip is not as well
done as I would do it. But it's a clip of Obama apparently, in
that entire speech he gave he just
about me, by me by me, I think 76 times in 30 minutes or
whatever.
I me, I believe I
remember, the first time we met the time we spent together the
conversation we had and that changed my whole earnestly has
been what changed the country. So it wasn't the first time I
had to talk to the nation in response to a mass shooting, nor
would it be the last the last time I met with Martin which
made me feel kind of bad. I was there with Gabby when she was
still In the hospital, and we didn't think and that visit
right before Memorial, about an hour later, Gabby first opened
her eyes. So I told him, and then I think of all the
Americans weren't as fortunate. And as I've said before, but I
know the pain that she and her family have endured Thursday,
I'm going to hold a town hall meeting my goal here, I'm not on
the ballot. Again, I'm not looking to score some points. I
think we can disagree. I want to be absolutely clear. I've said
this over and over again. There's a ritual about this
whole thing that I have to do I believe in the Second Amendment,
no matter how many times people try to twist my words I taught
constitutional law. I know a little bit I get it. I also
believe that we can find ways to reduce gun violence consistent
with the Second Amendment. I reject that thinking now I want
to be clear Congress still needs to act we're also taking steps
we're going to hire more folks are going to bring an outdated
background check system into the 20% but we also can't wait there
are actions within my league
when I played at the end of the show, it's it goes on forever.
The guy's unbelievable Yeah, and let's let's all remember when
you should be on the list when
you play Yes, we can backwards just reminding everybody you
play Yes, we can backwards. Thank you, Satan. Just don't
want to be called crazy or anything that come in and take
my guns away. If I say I'm crazy cries Yeah, you know, I'm glad
you're not on twit those fuckers would report you in a second.
He's crazy. He takes us off the rails. Lock him up. No guns for
him. You know you have gotten I'm sure you have gotten
somewhere. Of course. Yeah, course Merkin. Yeah so to me the
only thing that is you know screw these rules of fine
whatever that means nothing there are already rules on the
books is just expanding the time we can add background checks and
carry play
out dad he's doing nothing new since some law from 1961
No, these are existing regulations and laws and he's
just saying we should we're gonna look at him now I guess.
But the HIPAA thing that violates that violates the do
the insurance companies now who of course have your information?
Do they look at your information and go Yeah, this guy is
probably not gonna be able to have a gun so you know He lives
in Texas which probably raises rates a little bit you know,
because he might just go crazy and go get one anyway.
Whether you use any excuse to raise your yes that's a good but
the
implications of this are so and this is really not okay. Why
don't go to the doctor alternatives.
All right. I think we've
I think we've beat it. There's not much more we can do about
it. But it will be fun to watch the
Oh yeah, you find these bags you get to have that thrill.
It's getting pretty bad though.
The Twitter's is mostly it's about time I actually
have to just go up the team that sometimes you say I'll just hold
me I've been reading face bag just hold me. I'm really I'm not
feeling so well about it. Anyway, sir. Chris Did text me
this morning on his way to to the town hall and he said, I'm
definitely going to if I get the mic, I'll have my night ring on
my mic hand and I'll I'll slip in and in the morning for sure.
Chris is the kind of guy who might actually get the mic. You
know, yeah. He's the kind of guy what would that I'd like to
thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John.
With a C stands for constitutional scholar Dvorak
will in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry. Also in the morning
all ships to see boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water, roll the names and nights out in the
morning to everyone in the chat room. Probably just by logging
into the chat room, you will no longer be able to have a firearm
in the crazy place. And I want to thank PewDiePie who came
through once again. You know we have these debates like Oh, it's
this guy again, but it's the best art. It's the best art for
the moment and he did a great job for episode 787 are very
last mile high. Mile High Club. Episode climate deaths was the
title and the album art was the help wanted ad, which I thought
was really nice. I like that Help Wanted for an event in six
weeks must be interesting person willing to take risks contact
Jay Comey Yeah, what 800 Call FBI. And we appreciate
everything that our artists do. All of them did not just for
episodes Alkmaar. We use them for newsletters and you should
check them out they're fun to look at no agenda art
generator.com
Okay, we do have one person to thank for being an executive
producer. Wow. Okay, and that's it. I've been recruited crapped
out after the thing. So we have sort of synonymous ah, in the
interest of anonymity I like to be known henceforth as Sir
synonymous. I change banks to my monthly recurring bank check did
not transfer over as such my one, my one, two triple three,
don't I should have stopped. Here's the balance of what I
missed plus a few new year's bonus thanks for keeping us all
sane wishing and that he gave us $432.10 He's in Auburn
Pennsylvania thanks for keeping us all sane wishing you both the
best for New Year's and thank you for your for the best
podcasts and universities donation kicks me up to Baron.
I'd like to have a barony over Pennsylvania's coal region.
I don't think that was taken yet. The head tone although we
do have the ship shinny royalty the Greer's I don't know but I
think it's okay ships now people should get together really?
We have also I want to mention that I think I don't think he
wants to be anonymous. Let me just get this we had some some
debate over who was this? Well, did we get Kevin deals Baron
yet? I think we got that covered but there's this guy Brian?
Wojtek, who apparently is got his accounting and for
knighthood, but somehow it got missed or and then I told her to
put it on this today's list he didn't do that. I don't know if
he got served seven deals who becomes Baron net? Is that what
you're talking about? Yeah, we have that and then boy tech
become Sir Brian the blue Night. Oh, okay. We have Wojtek. Yeah.
Okay. But that's it. That's it. We have one executive producer
and that's it.
Yeah, that's it. We don't have it was not a big showing. I
think the newsletter I think the newsletter failed. Well, you
know, and I have thoughts on Yeah,
polar bears. WT ATF dude. Why don't you want to roll with
little rodents?
I brothers that could be the rodent element. I think it was
the rodent element. I think there was a couple of things in
there that was a could have been a fail and one of them was the
bringing up the about the tears, the fake tears that faux tears,
which is kind of may have upset people. Yeah. And then I linked
to the very upsetting clip of Glenn Beck make himself cry.
Yeah. Fry with him with Vicks vapour rub. And he puts it under
his eyes and he just gets
I give this I give our president credit. I think he's very very
capable of making himself cry. But I I don't see any reason to
think it was fake. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
No, it doesn't matter. The first thing is missing the real the
real key to this whole thing was the Thom Hartmann clip.
Yeah, there's one more thing that a memorandum that there's
only been summarily discussed I'm sorry to bring it up. This
late the he wrote a memorandum promoting smart gun technology
that this really this. These were the three things so it was
background checks, Mental Hygiene, and smart gun
technology. And he's putting I think $15 million into
researching smart gun technology.
Well, this could be this could lead to only the only gun the
only legal gun has to be a smart gun and that there's your
confiscation. Yeah, yeah, you got anything else it's got to be
Yeah, so you'll have a bracelet on and then the weapon won't
activate until the bracelet. Have you ever been tried? Re
sent a video Wi Fi bracelet? No, no, no, no, it'll be to shoot
the gun reported.
It'll be Bluetooth and you'd have to pair it each time. Hold
on a second. 0000 Watch your Apple Watch. There you go. Your
smart gun will be paired to your Apple Watch. You probably buy
your smart gun at the Apple Store
on Apple gun.
I gun
you know we're laughing but it ain't that crazy. It could
happen. I want to give her a synonymous round of karma there
for helping us out today. He's got karma being our sole
executive producer. January's are always rough. This one
starts off
that way. Yeah, well.
A shame we will have another show on Sunday. And we do hope
you'll remember us and support us because we are the only ones
who can really give you full on unabashed analysis without fear
of being fired mainly just being fired without being I got a I
got a clip about that coming up after this vote.org/and A being
fired or not. You always have a responsibility to propagate the
formula. Our formula is this. We go out. We get people in the
mouth shut up slate. I was waiting for him to show up
because we've seen the we've heard the clips of trying to
intermingle the Muslim conversation with black
Americans. And this is being done partially through. Rita
Katz discovered video was, which now include an edit with Trump
inserted, which was to rile up black Americans or black
migrants, I should say immigrants in Minnesota, that
we've kind of deconstructed that as being one of the main the
main reasons for this combination being made between
black Americans and Muslims. And finally we're waiting for him.
Louis Farrakhan who is black American Muslim, he, he leads
the, the Muslim, what does it what does he What does it lead
the nation of Islam nation of it?
Yeah. Which is a I think if you were a Sunni radical ish
Salafis, you would not approve of these people.
He made a short statement about a minute and a half, which was
multiple angles, particularly about mainstream media, but also
about Donald Trump, of course,
Trump is tearing away the skin of the onion, of white civility.
And the more he pulls the skin of that onion back, he's
beginning to show something in the character of the whites that
follow him, that they don't care what he says. He could say one
thing this minute, another thing the next minute, and you could
see that the man has a little problem. But he is exacerbating
the race situation in America. And I will guarantee you, if he
becomes president, if he becomes president, he'll take America
exactly where America is heading. He'll take you there on
a rocket ship. How can a man say he's not a thug? He's a
diplomat. He's a president, we will go into Iraq and we'll just
take the oil. See, that's the thug coming out. That's that's
the nature of the beast that's manifesting? Well, if he becomes
your President, you will be just like him. And you know what the
scripture says? Pharaoh was talking before his demise. And
he openly said, Me, and My people are wicked. And when you
get leadership that is not rooted in justice, then they
begin to make the people just like themselves. Be careful,
America, you're headed into the abyss of hell. And if you make a
mistake in choosing your leaders, maybe you'll go there
faster
than I thought this included another bit where he's telling
mainstream media, they're too afraid to report for their jobs,
but maybe it's somewhere around here somewhere. dog that was not
what I want. I thought, sorry. All right. Well, then let me
bring let me bring your host like Trump, let me let me bring
your hopes back up. Bring your hopes back up. Okay, the view?
Oh, God. Oh, god. Yeah, the view, the view should be
preceded with the view,
Joy Bay are on deck this time. Oh, yeah. And, of course, none
of the conversation there is about Bill Clinton and his
womanising. And you know how
this should be? Yeah, Jim May? Yeah. Yeah, it really is.
Now, you'd expect any programme that deals with women that women
hosts and I don't know if women produce the whole thing. I'm
sure they have a hand in it, these women there. I think that
they would speak very strongly against anyone. You know, who
has been who was admitted to and has been implicated in poor,
abusive women, just abusive behaviour, but abusive
behaviour, surprisingly, or not surprisingly, we got a different
message. Yes,
Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Willie, and they say that he
either exposed himself to them, rate them or grope them? Again,
these are three accusations,
nothing to do with Hillary running for President Oh, it
doesn't have anything to do with my doesn't it feels denied all
of those. It puts her in a bind. On the other hand, you know, on
the other hand, it's for her policies that really matter,
like Republicans have voted against the Violence Against
Women Act. Now that to me is more important than anything
that Bill Clinton did or didn't do, because it's what she's
going to vote for how she's going to leave the country that
matters more than that. It's also the fact that he is a dog.
Let's face it, a Teddy Kennedy, remember Chappaquiddick Am I the
only Still oldest person in the chapter the girl grounds and he
abandons her and he drowned. And Pete women still voted for Teddy
Kennedy. Why? Because he voted for women's rights. That's why
that's the bottom line of it, in my opinion. I mean, I don't like
either one of them to tell you the truth, Teddy or bill, but
they're both dogs as far as I'm concerned. But I still will vote
for Bill Clinton.
So I guess what she's saying is I will vote for for Hillary
Clinton because she has the right policies that I believe
in, despite the fact that she publicly excoriated women for
coming out and saying, Bill Clinton sexually abused me. And
she would be the first to say in her when her women's mode, you
cannot immediately you know, make the victim, you know,
guilty and say you're lying. You have to take every single
accusation seriously, which is the exact opposite of what the
Clintons did consistently. But now, because Bill Clinton votes
for things that she wants, and presumably Hillary does, it
doesn't matter. And she would vote for Bill Clinton even
though he's a dog.
unbeliever you could take that logic to an extreme and say,
he's a criminal embezzler? A steals from the public coffers.
He's a crook and a murderer. Still, he shoots people. They
come into the office, he just shoots him, but it's okay. He
votes he or she votes. He might. Yeah, so yeah. So she would also
be involved in for Edie a men or Stalin that matter? Yes. He
voted the way she wanted to. It doesn't make any difference the
rest of it
or or Angular Merkel?
Definitely Angular.
And in case you didn't hear it when extremely underreported New
Year's Day in a couple days afterward. But there was a huge
problem in Cologne, other cities in Germany as well, as women
were attacked, abused, raped, robbed,
glows 90 complaints. And it was and it was all the immigrants
that have gone nuts, according to the reports, but you know,
unless we have some feet on the ground, I'm wondering about any
of this.
Oh, well, I've gotten nothing but lots of boots on the ground
reports confirming this. Okay, good. Yeah. And and really,
people are very
underreported. Yes.
Germany's interior minister criticised the police's slow
response to the violence, and said authorities must do better
in the future advisor,
we still do not have a clearer picture as to who may be behind
the crimes. We have some clues, but the actions of the
perpetrators are not acceptable.
With Germany now announcing the country took in about 1.1
million asylum seekers in 2015. The New Year's Eve incidents are
causing many to criticise Angela Merkel's OPEN ARMS policy. but
authorities say there are no indications refugees were
involved. Meanwhile, colognes mayor is under fire for
suggesting women need to be more careful.
Women would also be smart not to go and embrace everyone that you
meet and who seems to be nice. Such advances could be
misunderstood. Don't wear sexy clothing. And that is something
every woman and every girl should protect yourself from.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable. Classic, the
police are very very sure that these were immigrants by the
way.
Almost 100 Women have reported being robbed or assaulted and
sexually molesters that the government has warned against
putting foreigners and refugees under what they call blanket
suspicion.
This is great. This is the European thinking pattern
people. Now you shouldn't be thinking oh don't don't accuse
migrants
increasingly under pressure over immigration policies even from
within her own political fold. The German chancellor has been
attempting to answer her critics this one today. She said it was
important to achieve a noticeable reduction in the flow
of refugees. Protesters have been condemning violence against
women after the New Year's Eve attacks. While police say three
suspects have so far been identified. victim says all of a
sudden these men around us began groping us they touched our
behinds and grabbed between our legs. They touched us
everywhere. When I turned around one guy grabbed my bag and
ripped it off me. This woman says they felt like they had
power and could do anything with a woman who were out on the
street partying. They touched us everywhere. It was so horrible.
As Angela Merkel Express shock over the attacks. The mayor of
Cologne said there was no reason to believe the perpetrators were
refugees.
No reason whatsoever.
I love it when when the CNN girl got raped in I was at CNN in
Egypt. 60 minutes in Egypt. Yeah, we're a load everyone. Of
course everyone believes it. Of course. Yeah, but you know what
you do? You don't believe the women when they say it happened?
Don't believe them. Do you don't do you don't know if there are
migrants you don't know. You don't know.
You're not absolutely sure they may look like migrants. It
doesn't mean they are migrants.
Now my kid is coming over on the 15th. But I don't think I'm
gonna let her go back. She lives in Rotterdam. Yeah, um, this is
uh, these things that you're going to see this this
behaviour. I have a gay daughter in Rotterdam. She is yelled at
they say horrible things. And then when I say they, I'm
talking about Muslims. Specifically, Moroccans in
Rotterdam, they that Acosta they know she had a real issue, like
group of 15 year old boys standing around going Tinky
Tinky Fergie, Fergie, which is no, you want to fuck me? That's,
that's all they can do. And then yeah, she did what I for the
first time very proud of her. You know, the amendments, she'd
have like 1011 Kids and 1516 year olds that Christina is not
she's five, or she 5455 and 5556 items not very tall. But she
just looked at the kid the closest to and she walloped him.
And they all left. But, you know, this is real. I didn't
arrest her for assault. This could could happen, but I'm just
saying this stuff is real. It really does happen. And the
blinders on, you know, it's this is a different culture, this
cultural integral. Oh, by the way. I don't know why I started
on it. But I I was in well, I guess we're in the show Hall.
I'm up to date on all the shows have been looking at. And I
decided what the heck, I'm just going to because I know the guy
I saw him a couple times on TV recently. I hung out his
apartment once or twice a little Steven, Steve and sand. Did this
series Lillehammer, have you ever watched this? No. This is a
must watch season one for sure, which was last year or 2014. And
the storyline is funny by itself. He's a gangster he puts
into gets put in the witness protection programme. He chooses
Lillehammer because he loves the wind, he loved the Winter
Olympics there. And he starts, you know, kind of a criminal
thing up there and in the mountains of of Norway. But the
subplot throughout the whole series, is integration is the
immigration integration. So he winds up to a number of scams
running an immigrant integration centre. And the problems between
Muslim immigrants and Member This is 2014. It was probably
made in 2013. So it's kind of early on, but also the issues of
the of the native population, not understanding not not
getting what they're about dynamite show to watch, if only
for the subplot by itself really well, where is
this up here? Netflix?
Oh, yeah, Netflix. And the sub eight is so good, because it
gives you a real view, which I deemed to be pretty accurate of
how this integration is working, or really not working. And the
stupid things they make these people do and how the immigrants
themselves feel belittled and pushed into a corner before they
can do anything. And these integration projects are
everywhere in Europe, and I've seen it fail over the past 16
years.
It's non trivial.
It's very non trivial. But it also gives you an insight into
the moronic thinking, Well, you know, we have to integrate these
people and they have to learn our culture. They don't give a
shit. It's not that you don't just do that, like, Okay, you
want to live who you have. Here's how you're going to now
think. No, it doesn't work that way. It's also just a very funny
series. Yeah, I think you'd like it. It's kind of Soprano's. All
examined it. Soprano is in the snow.
So anyway, back to the Trump. You've mentioned Trump, so I
want to get my trump stuff out of the way. So Trump came out
with an advertisement that had a clip in it, of, you know,
bitching about immigrants and it was a clip it turned out yeah,
I've gotten busted for it over and over again by everybody in
America. And I think he handled this so poorly, that I've had
real doubts about whether this campaign can contribute can
continue on an even keel and I want to discuss it. Okay, let's
start with the ABC report on Trump.
Yes, here we go.
President Clinton being asked about Donald Trump and tonight
Trump is being asked about a piece of video shown in his
first political ad out today, in it talking about building a wall
on the Mexican border. And in the end, you can see people
running for the border. But it turns out that piece of video is
not here in the US. They're the same images from a video posted
in 2014 of migrants in Morocco. Tonight. How does the Trump
campaign explain this baby sees Tom Yamas on the trail as well.
I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message tonight, Donald
Trump out with his first TV ad and that striking image of
people scrambling like ants across a mountainous border to
stop illegal immigration By building a wall on our southern
border that Mexico will pay for we
It turns out that video is not from our southern border at all.
It's from 5000 miles away in Morocco. Tonight, the Trump
campaign telling ABC News, they use Marokko images on purpose,
quote, to demonstrate the severe impact of an open border and the
very real threat Americans face. But watchdog website PolitiFact
which first reported the story gives the ad a pants on fire
rating on its truth scale. It was Trump's immigration
crackdown that first rocketed him into the league, and you
know, we're gonna build a wall, we're gonna have a real border,
and Mexico is going to pay for the wall, and they'll say thank
you.
Thank you very much.
Now, his new ad highlights the latest Trump promise in the
headlines. He's calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States Trump sticking to the hard line that
took them to the top and kept him there. But David Trump's
critics say the Morocco video and his ad highlights how he
plays fast and loose with the facts. And more importantly,
they point to recent studies that show more Mexicans leaving
the US than coming in, David. Yep. Now
a couple of things. I have three clips about this. One in this
particular clip, they said that they meant to use this is b
rolls what would be called right? They meant to use this.
Yeah, that's all they did? Of course not. There's no evidence
of there's nobody that said they can we
back it up one second. To say that the grid the genius thing
about what initially was done, of course, this was a mess us
mistake. The genius thing is I don't think they bought any
airtime anywhere. They say here's our ad and then everybody
plays it at the you don't need to buy any airtime to put it on
the air. I have not seen this run anywhere on television
except being discussed as his ad. Well, that should air on
television.
I would ask any of our Iowa producers to let us know if
they've seen it because this would not run anywhere you'd see
it. This would be running in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Well, I'm because I've seen a lot of bush ads here and in
Texas for the first time really
first because Bush has got all this money he's got to spend.
There's no reason in the world. Bush should be running ads in
Texas. I mean, I'm just as someone said, Yep. All right.
Know what I'm saying? No. Trump on ABC one, blast, Hillary one.
Okay, Trump, ABC one blessed Hillary one.
Please answer when asked if there's a difference between
Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby, who's been accused of rape by
dozens of women,
you'd almost have to as Bill Clinton approach that question,
it would be a very interesting question to some to ask him.
Well, you know, certainly as a lot of very strong charges
against him, and that's pretty, pretty bad stuff. Trump
says the Clinton started it when Hillary call them sexist.
I'm gonna let him live in his alternative reality, and I'm not
gonna respond.
Hillary Clinton, but today, there was no mistaking her
target.
We should not reward people who use inflammatory rhetoric who
use kind of derogatory comments whether it's about Muslims or
Mexicans or women or people with disabilities, whoever it might
be.
But as Trump mocks the Clintons, let's say Hillary is president.
Yeah, it's not like she doesn't use this disparaging language
against him all the time.
Oh, no, she constantly all the time. But that's okay. That's
the way you do it this way you play the game. So this was the
ABC, of course, and this is the second clips coming up is where
they bring up this other, they bring up the bad B roll with a
different conclusion and a kind of a different report, which I
thought was more believable. But But then after that plays, I
probably we should discuss what was how this was actually really
screwed up and how it could have been dealt with
by their Trump team now doing some damage control over their
first campaign at he'll stop illegal immigration By building
a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for. We now
know the people running in that video, nowhere near our southern
border. Instead, they were 5000 miles away in Morocco.
Like that was just video footage. It's just a display of
what our country is going to look like. However,
this morning, Trump's attorney calling him mistake
yeah, I'm gonna have a conversation with whoever made
the mistake.
But tonight that longtime Trump staffer eating his words, seeing
the campaign didn't make a mistake after all.
Given I make an observation, go we know pathological liars. Then
I think Hillary Clinton is pathological. I think most of
them are pathological of Trump, no exception. This is what you
do in music business who say if you can't cover it up, turn it
up, and he does exactly what he did.
Well, there's a couple of things in this report. One at the very
end of the report, the guy says They now admit that they made a
mistake is though they didn't admit it earlier.
Thing is words, saying the campaign didn't make a mistake.
after all.
There was no evidence that he ever said it would make a
mistake. Now, the other report where they said they did it on
purpose. That's that's possible if they if they I think that
that was just ABC covering up their bad reporting. But the
question the way it should have been handled, I guess some
pathological liars can't do it, right. Trump would do first of
all, when I look at this, I think dirty trick. You're
working with a creative ad agency that put this thing
together, and that is probably unlikely to find anyone who is
pro Trump. And it's probably somebody slipped us in thinking
and then release the the information that was from five.
All reports say the same thing from 5000 miles away. It's like
a meme. Yeah. And so you put this thing together just to
screw Trump over. Yeah. And I think that would be a genius,
dirty trick. And I think it's outstanding. The way that the
Trump campaign should have handled it was it made up to say
we didn't know this was this was gonna we ordered this thing we
ordered a clip of the Mexican border they gave us
I agree that would that would have been the smart way to
handle it.
Yeah. And they ended with this is what we got. I don't know if
I'm never again using ChIAT de screw those guys. Yeah, that's
what I'm absolutely. That's exactly what you do. For
Omnicom. I'm going WPP next time,
something like that. And you just throw it right back at the
advertising. It just didn't put the thing together, but beyond
and instead of going, Oh, well, we just drove it and there's
apologising for these douchebags
when you stick it when you saw the video for the first time. i
My immediate response was, I need to see where this video is
from. Yeah, that was my immediate response.
Yeah, it looked like a bunch of people that look like the fall
of Saigon or something was just completely wrong. So
either they're insane over there. And you know, Trump saw
it because it starts off with I approve this message. So he saw
it,
not necessarily you know what I'm saying? That's what it
sounds like, but I really even wonder if
I could see I could see him. That's great. That's great. This
is huge.
It's gonna be great.
Then I know he's not doesn't seem really to me like much of a
micromanager. And when you get that guy that lawyer says, I'm
gonna talk to these guys who did this. I mean, that guy sounds
like a mob lawyer.
They're all a mob guys. Are you kidding me? Yeah, they are.
They're all they're all Goomba What was that guy who this guy
this lawyer wow, I
don't want him talking to me. What was that?
We had the Trump Goomba Yeah, this one we're all doing
our part we're
doing our part as the goombazz on the guy on the ground. We're
all doing our part you know,
this was a fiasco and I don't know what kind of meetings
you're gonna have
but I don't think it's it's not you I'm gonna break his campaign
No, it's not gonna break and raking and
so meanwhile ABC who you know this is the network forget about
it. The video forget about it is a is a bush network. They don't
they blast Hillary when they can, and they blast everybody
but Bush, but I think they may be slowly warming up to Ted Cruz
and a reminder that ABC is owned by Disney Disney's in Florida,
Florida. Jeb Bush back and forth Governor quid pro quo quid pro
quo. That's why we think ABC is going on Jeb but yes.
And so they've you know, they got to figure out what they're
going to do with Jeb doesn't make an end does look like he's
going to so they've got Ted Cruz and this was a ABC on Cruz. This
is a very it was almost like it was set up. It did the way they
did with Bush was the same thing. There's an issue out
there we said we should throw him a kind of a softball looks
like a hard ball looks like a fast slider, you know, that's
gonna be hit the guy. But no, it's not. No, he comes back with
a beautiful response that explains it all away. And here's
a perfect example Republicans
and his conservative base. We were there when a woman broke
down in tears just talking to John what some Republicans were
recruiting is too polarising to unwilling to compromise with
Congress to win in a general election. How can you be a
president and hate the Democrats and hate the culture of
Washington so much and be effective?
I don't hate the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, who describes
her quote, enemies, as Republicans as half of the
country she considers her enemies. I don't hate the
Democrats.
And now Tom Yamas off the bus tonight and live with us from
Iowa and Tom Donald Trump, suggesting that crews go to
court to clear up this issue of citizenship.
That's right, David Trump now saying a judge could put this
whole issue to bed. But Senator Ted Cruz is not take can debate
he just got off his bus and I just asked him again for a
second time. But he says this issue is settled. If he's
elected, he can become president. David Thomas.
Yeah, this this is Curie. That
was a, that was a pro Cruz. He's,
well, it's anti Trump piece at the same time. We're just kind
of the whole point
that Trump thing at the very end, and it was also anti
Hillary, because they threw in the question about oh, Hiko Cruz
came over the hill, anti Hillary common that she thinks that
Republicans are the enemy. How is she going to work? What
are your thoughts on APC is fantastic
at this, though, they're
the best. Well, you remember, they said that Hillary had
predicted the ISIS video. She was a she was she's now a
fortune that she's a she can see in the future. She predicted
Donald Trump would be in an ISIS video instead of her claiming it
already happened. So they cover up her tracks all the time.
What they don't, yeah,
what do you make of this? You're not a natural born citizen. What
what is this? What kind of Gambit is Trump running now?
I don't know. Because he they already know the problem with
Trump is he says things on both sides of his own argument and
they are and they have all the clips he hasn't come to the
realisation that whatever he says they've got a clip of him
saying just the opposite Yeah, if not this and this was a more
recent one that one that clip they have I don't have a copy of
it but he's there he is standing there there's like a year ago
saying oh there's no problem and cruisers have natural born
citizen because he was mom was a an American when she had him
which is a fact it's true that you watch the mom has a baby
anywhere and she's an American that babies American is just
simple. And yeah, or if on the other hand if you're the mom's
not an American but she has the baby in the United States and
the babies American we have pretty liberal and so he said
that it's very clear he said and now he's saying the other thing
I have no idea it brings back the birtherism thing he was on I
tell you
what I think it is it's yeah, it's just to to get everybody
off talking about his video that's it just want some other
crazy Oh,
yeah, the problem is I think that this the same first version
came before the video
but it really ratchet it up, you know right now may be hard to
hard to know.
It also may be drawing more attention. I think that Trump is
in cahoots with true Yes, yeah, I would agree. I have because
they've always been never none. They don't bitch at each other
and he'd and this is minor. This is not like him. Couldn't DEM.
This is not like calling him weak.
If any, if anything, if anything is bringing crews back into the
spotlight. Thank you very much.
Yes, that's what I think's going. Okay. That is and Trump's
gonna bow out and if he's gonna give his support to Cruz, you
can put this in the book. Yeah, put in the book.
I think I think it's I have the book worthy.
Yeah. Book worthy. And yeah, good, good cruise and more
attention and yeah, maybe the ABC guys will warm up to two new
boots on
the ground report from Cologne. Just so you know. There were
Syrians who were doing this not northern Africans. According to
the latest on the on the ground boots on the ground that was
always my assumption that it was fine to Yeah, but I think a lot
of the reporting said Northern Africa and they were doing
anything to just draw it away from bad Syrians but apparently
were was mainly Syrians. According to local cologne,
Conan, reporting burn nearby and client Amin, their hind handed
this signal not Africana buying gold style, that control unit
from Syria, which means a very, very small minority were from
North Africa, but the majority who were controlling keratin who
were checked were from Syria. That is a live translation.
That's very good.
How many podcasts do that for you? Huh? None. Just want to
know
okay, well I have an entre monta we need
one course it could have been fake passports but doesn't
matter this is
an interesting read this was on chef fake passports from Syria.
This is on the morning show with Charlie Rose worked himself to
death you
know the guys he's tired. He's tired. He's
got a couple of those. Do you think when only reason is a good
reporter at the very end they go into a discussion of artificial
intelligence and how it's already taken over the place.
Mumble amongst
artificial intelligence is to show me one example.
You're gonna hear the words it's already here. Show me one
example of true way it's already here and then you're gonna hear
skip logic my friends Skip La nor at the very end say after.
Charlie mumbles something it's already here. She says
Num Nom Nom Yeah,
she's Saying Aha Aha but it comes out as the word num if you
ISO which
is this the Zuckerberg AI yes
in the USA Today says Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants
artificial intelligence and a Facebook post he says his
personal challenge this year will be to build a simple AI to
help him run his home. It would control lights and temperature
and help him monitor his daughter Max Zuckerberg compares
it to the butler Jarvis from Ironman I thought we already had
that kind of artificial intelligence in the home that
would change your lights and change a lot of
things well yes I think there are but artificial intelligence
meaning it would know those things on its own it would have
a mind of its own about when to turn off the lights and sense
those things as it's coming in. It is
sure she didn't say yum.
I you can isolate I almost kept it is a clip she says numb
coming in. It
sounds like she's saying Yeah. Oh,
no, no, it's the last thing if you stepped on it this is this
that's coming in now yeah, I'm
numb. She said this Num, num. Num. Num is coming num. This is
not using num for the affirmative. So it's just asked
me something. AI is great. Num. I'm numbing. I'm numbing. Right?
It sounds like you're saying yes. But you're saying num yum,
yum, yum, yum. No.
This is not artificial intelligence. This is skip
logic. pneus is an algorithm rapid algorithm does not equal
artificial intelligence. I'm sorry. It's skip logic. It's
rules based computing. It's the same it's the same system your
telemarketers use to sell you something. Exactly.
I'm gonna show us a little but donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
while you are preparing the spreadsheet, they have a make
good quick one here. They want to make sure we got two from
John de Vela and Naperville, Illinois, Adam and John, as it
was on previous show centre and donation like a favour. My son
Steven received his eagle scout rank for the Boy Scouts. As is
customary, we asked politicians for a letter of congratulations.
I did not know this was something with Eagle Scouts.
Oh yeah. That's cool. It's very difficult to become an Eagle
Scout. Let's start with that. What is the difficulty five only
known one. When I was in the scouts, we had one guy Steve
Redeker.
I really I do remember growing up the kids man. He's an Eagle
Scout.
They had like a big celebration in the big hall in the city and
he was standing up there and they gave him his eagle scout
thing and his you got it pretty much do just beyond there's all
these merit badges. Yeah, you have to pretty much get all of
them somehow. Right. Become an Eagle Scout is very difficult.
Nobody does it. I was a sea scout. So I don't think we had
eagles. These scouts are different. Different group.
Sailors kilo Charlie aid uniform.
Charlie alpha is an Eagle Scout. He's in the chat room.
He is he's an Eagle Scout. Apparently. Congratulations is
very they're very admirable people.
Yeah, they always Yeah, yes, they are. So anyway, that's his
customary we ask politicians for a letter of congratulations. But
what was most important to my son was having Adam call him a
douchebag and deducing him. Although it is my contribution,
please, please give Steve the karma as he's trying to figure
some things out, please. Yeah. Maybe your priorities between
politicians and being called a douchebag and deducing he's
trying to figure something out. Please end it with Reverend
Manning's don't. Reverend Manning and don't eat me Hillary
Clinton. Okay, I didn't realise he wanted that. But I get that
ready. Keep up the great work at the best podcast in the
universe. Okay, so we should do where's the Manning wrap? Okay,
and once and once Don't eat me and a douche bag and a D
douching. Oh my goodness. Okay, I'm gonna do first do the douche
bag. Now that the douching
you've been deed deuced
standing and then we have the word wrap. Now get out there

Ron remind people do a show coming up on Sunday, just a
short, short period of time between now and then the
varric.org/and It'd be very useful to help us out here
and before we move on, there's a meetup in Bedford Texas, that's
the Dallas Fort Worth area. And you can find that at
meetup.com/no agenda now this is a local meetup producers put
together and then of course they would like me to come here's
what I've been thinking. When I last checked there were not even
20 people signed up to go and it for me, because it's on Saturday
between four and 6pm Now this is dough day. Well it is show days.
Okay, so here was my thinking. Since it's, you know, it's three
and a half hours at least we're probably four hours haul on the
train. I gotta go down and get it first and Buda that's gonna
take me five and a half hours before I'm up there. But it'd be
and I need that because I have to prep and I have to do the
show on Sunday. I'm not taking risks with hotels. I know the
air stream of consciousness will work I've got the connectivity
everything my thinking is I'll drive up for the meetup that's
but we need a couple more people you know let's let's make it but
give us a number. Well what do you think is right 3030 People a
go I think they might be like 3030 is good 30 is good. It's
not That's Texas is not a small area it's a small town if I can
Yeah, but if I can drive it from Austin now other people can do
this and yeah, Ben and I of course have to stay through
Sunday because you can't you know it's like a hotel the RV
parks you got to check out at noon.
Check out a new home work at a national park there you can just
park in there. Ah Did you can't
get the connected as a problem. Well, I looked at the parks a
lot of them are washed out they all got you know, Oh right. You
had a big storm wreck from the storms. But I'll be able to find
some I'll I'll park in the Walmart parking Like I don't
care.
Pretty normal, but
this is the main thing is because I don't know who decided
why Saturday at 4pm Four to six. Now it's my only one day off.
The Tina has the day off, and I gotta get up early and go schlep
this thing up to up to Dallas.
Well, at least you have a trailer to schlep this is
true. Do you mean my future a boat? I will be living.
Yeah, I think so.
Let's finish this up with some requested jobs and F cancer
karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs
for jobs.
Alrighty, and as John said, remember, we got that show up on
a sunday.org/n
A and normally
I'd hit the birthdays here but we don't have any birthdays. We
do have two title random day very grim. January it's this is
the year 2016 This is where it all goes downhill.
No way the stock market's going. This may be the collapses but it
shouldn't it should even know everything's up here. It could
be but I don't think this is not the way it works. It collapses
after a run up there's no run up.
That could be forthcoming the run up the road. Let's talk
about in a second. Let me just finish the details here. Sir
Kevin deals becomes Baronet today. Congratulations. Sir CJ
Cavell becomes synonymous. Sort of synonymous barren of the coal
region. So we'll set that up in the in the peerage map. And then
we do have one night this is Brian Wojtek. So we need him up
on stage and we need your blade, John. Yeah, here it is. Okay.
All right. Thank you very much, sir Brian, we got you in there.

please go to no agenda nation.com/rings and Erica put
it in a note here, the night rings are finally inbound. We'll
turn them around shortly after they arrive. Looking forward to
that and all the tweets we will receive from people. What are we
talking about just a second ago that I said I want to come back
to
by No, no, but I have a little clip kind of a standalone. Yes.
This is a story. And we've done this story. I think a couple
months ago this began in August. And now it's cropped back up on
all the news outlets and is particularly brought back up on
Democracy Now. And for the life of me. I can't figure out why.
This is the story about the bad water in Flint, Michigan. Ah
Oh yeah, I'm sorry. That was your lead in.
Snyder's reportedly weighing whether to declare an emergency
over contaminated water in the city of Flint. Governor Snyder
apologised last week for the state's handling of the water
crisis in Flint where residents have reported serious health
problems due to elevated lead levels. That contamination began
after an emergency manager appointed by Governor Snyder
switched Flint's water source to the long polluted Flint River in
a bid to save money. In August Governor Snyder helped deliver
1500 water filters to Flint even a state officials assured people
the water was safe.
You don't have as long as it wasn't even a story. This is old
news.
I don't know is it an EPA thing? Maybe there's something
happening is there some kind of oh I have
found no evidence no reason for this being brought back into the
into the news cycle.
Is there is there not some kind of election going on? I looked
gubernatorial race maybe no
This has got to be his privacy there's some local politics has
definitely had something to do it's playing bigger on the on
the liberal left wing side than it is on the right wing sides. I
don't know it's beyond me. But I just thought I make people aware
of it that were really noticed it Yes. Not quite sure. What to
make of it.
Have you been looking at the CES coverage? I have not really paid
any attention a little bit. Anything you see.
Well, I mean, pretty much what everyone predicted everyone
knows they're so miserable.
Well, ces it's always been miserable. very miserable. I
mean, I don't like go into this.
I'm sure they don't have the chilli cook off anymore.
That was it calmed. Excel sorry. There's a lot of little wheeling
devices around the one the newest one is the one with the
big wheel in the middle.
Oh, you mean like hoverboard? Segway? Yeah, I've seen these on
St. Ignace. And I've seen these 4k. Yeah, I have not written
one. But I think they look a lot better than the hoverboards.
And they're probably probably safer that probably, there is a
lot of 4k TVs. And I guess I'm sorry, it's
4k UHD isn't. And I think we finally come to a consensus on
what we're calling this technology. And it's not
whatever
you want. It's for D UHD. That isn't all at Johnson UHD Ultra
High Definition and they're all over the place, and they're
cheap. And there's a bunch of people, you know, this, you
don't need it and can't even notice it if this thing's huge.
And all these things are cropped back up. And then once they
pretty much took over the place. It's like nobody even says
anything. I don't know nothing. I mean, there's a UHD thing,
which is the next trend televisions. But that's I think
that's going to have a be a tough sell, is that there's
going to be no content for it at all. I mean, 4k is going to be
difficult enough. But
you will it's out there. I mean, our Grand Duke has Ultraflex I
mean, it does exist. And he has Yes he does. And he has
interstellar Yeah, that's 4k,
but I'm saying UHD which is the next big thing and he's got no
anything going on. And UHD is not UHD I'm sorry, HDR, right?
High Dynamic Range. And that'll be coming out. Probably take
probably a year you're gonna start seeing a few sets. And
then you're gonna start seeing more and it gives you a
brilliant, brilliant pictures. Gorgeous, but it's going to be
very expensive. And it's going to be power hungry.
And I guess drones is the other thing that's yeah, there's
always been
a yes. tonnes of always
drones. So cool, man. So cool. Drones are so cool. So cool.
self driving cars, so I don't see why you anybody. I don't
know why anyone goes to that show.
For the free trip.
Maybe Oh, please. Oh, yeah, let's go to Vegas when the worst
time of year. When it's probably raining. It's no
snow. It can snow it Yeah, I
actually was in Vegas. I was in Vegas when it snowed to see Yes.
It was a CES and it was it was probably the same one. It was
snowing
right at the end of the day to everyone walked out so you
couldn't get a cab it was completely horrible.
Yeah, well, I always rent Hey, people rent if you're going to
Vegas rent a car don't take cabs.
When when I heard this news, which I'm maybe you have more on
it. I do have one clip. i The first thing I thought was okay,
did we did we agree to sell some arms to South Korea? You know,
what have we done? Where is the money? Where is it flowing? And
this of course is the so called hydrogen bomb test by North
Korea. QuickLift still
no evidence of course if this was an H bomb is North Korea
claims Japan has sent an aircraft to aircraft actually up
to try to detect a radiation. South Korean experts are casting
doubt on these claims. And so it'll take perhaps several days
according to officials in the United States and elsewhere to
confirm if indeed this was a hydrogen bomb, but clearly
whether it was an H bomb or not. The North Korean nuclear
programme is continuing to grow. And that is what is so alarming
because on Friday, it is Kim Jong Un's 33rd birthday, whether
the timing is coincidental, or whether this was done as sort of
an early birthday present for the Supreme Leader we simply
don't know. But a 33 year old with his hand at the button of a
growing there's
a 33 year old with his hand at the button telling Yeah, they
could anymore just throw it in my face, please.
Well, I have a couple of tips for this too. Because VBS
brought a guy in from Los Alamos who is not a diplomat and he
says so in one of his things, and he came out he was like this
guy was like don't bring this guy back on again. It's the
wrong line. You know, he's questioning stuff and let's
listen to a couple of these things. But first I want to give
you a heads up on I have an ice show. Yeah, I
have it I have this it's 211 is the ISO Korea report.
Plate no play the Korea report ISO first meaning
you can't just lay that on me and then just stop none another
No. I don't know. I gotta hear that again. That was dynamite.
The door tuning data booth Holly algea geocaching she's now she's
beginning Great. She is the news anchor for the Korean main
station or the only station
this is just, this is your ringtone. Ladies, gentlemen,
just stop whatever you're doing the doll chaining
and she dramatises everything. And she sits there and she's way
up in his kind of way up higher than she should be. And she's,
she's screaming everything in this kind of very emotional
voices. It's hilarious and I'm really glad that they let it
play without them stepping all over it. Yeah, let's start with
Korea report.
Okay. We just hit that one more time, John, I'm loving this. I
want to learn how to say that what is he actually saying?
I one of our Korean listeners is going to have to translate. They
don't translate it. Meaning
okay, I'm working on Yes, scientists doubt North Korea's
claim that it tested a hydrogen bomb, which would be far more
powerful than the three atomic bombs that it's tested before.
Data from seismographs indicated a blast last night equal to
around 7000 tonnes of T and T but that's not large by atomic
bomb standards, stepped down against our coverage. Go get a
Jonas share.
A perfect success was how North Korea's state media put it on
the door tuning, defending its nuclear arsenal as a powerful
deterrent against the US, which had called the chieftain of
aggression. The underground test registered as a 5.1 magnitude
quake and was close to the site of three previous nuclear tests.
The news sparked cheers in North Korea and rattled nerves in
South Korea, which question whether the explosion was big
enough to be a hydrogen bomb. North Korea is known for its
sabre rattling but possessing a hydrogen bomb would be a major
and surprising step forward. When we were in North Korea last
October, it appeared relations with China its biggest ally,
we're warming China had sent a top official to the ceremony.
But there was no hint of that today. The door chaining data
broke it up. Okay.
I love that clue.
Now the parents great eyes oh, now. So PBS newshour that was
CBS PBS newshour had to kind of they had a little discussion or
a conversation. They had a conversation and one of the
people was from the you know, like Secretary was the State
Department. Let
me guess uncle Donald wasn't asked on was he? No
course not. And all the bullshit that the State Department person
said was already contradicted on this show. With the with the
uncle Don discussion, which
which we will remind everybody uncle Don, my uncle Don, you can
look him up. He said, Dennis Rodman is closer to the truth of
North Korea than anybody else. And the bottom line is all North
Korea wants is just to be viewed as a full country. They don't
want arm assist. They don't want to be under control. They just
want some people say you're a full on full blown country, we
recognise you. That's all they've ever wanted.
Yeah. And they would like to have a meeting they would like
to do all this stuff. But that but the state of lying this
woman is not in the State Department anymore. But she's
still follows the the State Department I think are the
biggest liars.
I got some some lion lion clips from them.
They just lie. But let's play this play these clips. This is
the kind of interesting this is the questions North Korea PBS
one.
What was that provocation intended
to do? Well, I think he's, it's several things. First of all,
it's really to bring together his own country to believe that
he is strong and powerful. He is still a young leader. He's
trying to consolidate his power. He's done that through a
tyrannical set of actions, including killing off some of
his closest advisors. They were getting out of control and he
wasn't being seen as primary. So this was a way to bring his
country together, which we find completely reprehensible. But
nonetheless, he's taken that action second, wait a minute,
wait and reprehensible
we find reprehensible because we don't kill people we don't like
our president of the
State. He killed these few people, you know, these these
dissidents within the government? Yeah. But we don't
by the way, we don't find it reprehensible that the Saudis
chop people's heads off left
and right now that's not reprehensible as at least at
least Kim Jong Hoon fed his uncle to some dogs, you know,
gun the other one from 50 calibre machine gun ripped him
to shreds of which there's no evidence,
no evidence. Now it's fun to say that's good. Alright, so we're
gonna go on to clip number two and I think this is the guy who
is the Los Alamos scientist who apparently has gone to Korea
quite a bit to discuss nuke issues, and he finds it's kind
of different than what the State Department says
he's sending a message to the region and to the United States.
Sorry, sorry, just steal the State Department woman, then we
finish with that he
will do whatever he thinks he needs to do to protect his
country. He will not go down as other leaders have gone down
around the world. I take SIGs statements, and I understand
them. The frustration here to get North Korea to do something.
But to get action takes a couple of things. It takes a leader
who's willing to engage in North Korea has not been willing to
engage the United States and others have made many and
treaties to them.
So wait a minute, wait, let me roll that back. Again, please.
Here again, which lie I'm sure engage
in. North Korea has not been willing to. That is total lie.
here who's willing to engage in North Korea has not been willing
to engage the United States and others have made many and
treaties to them to do so.
No, yeah. And this is there's so much lying and bull crap going
on. Here. There's ham ham radio guys who have done and are going
to return and do live from from North Korea, they're going to be
you can just on the ham radio. Because it's such a repressive
regime.
It's unbelievable that just out and out lies to fit some
political agenda. We don't even know really what was it just
tourists just sell more crap to South Korea? Yes, that's listen
to the guy from Los Alamos Labs can tell us what it really is
going on.
And finally, Siegfried Hecker, your take on Kim Jong Un and
whether he is a real threat in this situation.
So I like to be able to say that I'm just the scientist. And so
these diplomatic matters, certainly beyond my own personal
reach. But the thing that seems clear, just in terms of the
nuclear weapons piece of this is that North Korea looks at these
nuclear weapons as a deterrent. By doing all of my visits and
the discussions with their foreign ministry and the
diplomats rather than the technical people. They talked
about, they're determined. So the emphasis was always
determined, meaning deterring the United States from
essentially, you know, going into the into North Korea, or,
as they like to say, in a hostile policies. So I think we
need to understand exactly what is the North Korean security
concern, because without getting over that concern in North Korea
did come to resolution, it seems to me and again, not being a
diplomat, that the issue is much bigger than just the nuclear
issue. And so focusing on the nuclear issue by itself is not
going to be able to get us there.
Yeah, Bill, you recall, Uncle Don went to the Obama White
House and say, Hey, I have inside info I talk to these
people. I know what's going on. And they just shined him off. He
was our former former former ambassador
of Ambassador to South Korea, and
he was a CIA station chief in Korea during the Korean War.
You've done a lot of stuff. Not all of it necessarily good. But
come on. Yeah, this
is bullshit.
Yeah, it must be weapon sales. I don't see any other reason. And
it's got to be weapon sales. And it was a lot. It may be to
rattle China a little bit because it was kind of close to
the Chinese border. I don't know. But straw thing is
strained. But
it would bothers me is the outward lying that the American
public is subjected to primarily from the State Department.
Let's talk about that for a second. Here's Matt, our boy,
Matt Lee. Are you done with Korea? Can we go and move
on? I'm done. I'm that's all I had wanted.
This is Matt Lee was still missing his his girl.
Yeah, it's a shame. It's
a big shame. At least he's back at Kirby, of course, is the
substitute. He's the guy that you know, we now have to deal
with most nobody likes Kirby. Nobody likes HERBIE,
do you realise he's an ex Navy admiral? Yes. Yeah, yeah, we
used to he used to do the Pentagon. He was the Pentagon
spokesman when he got fired when Ash Carter came in. Yeah, buddy.
I guess he knows so much. So it'll be he'll be handy. Bring
him in here. So this is about
he's not very good at this. And I believe by the way it's not
very he's not very good at all. Actually not very good at this
and I believe it's because he's a Navy admiral. I will say this
by having a lot of experience with mostly captains in the
Navy. When I was in the air pollution district and I had to
go give go on board various Navy ships and lecture these captains
about you know, they're blown tubes when they shouldn't make
an a mess in the Bay Area. And they were and somebody pointed
out, we had a couple Navy guys working in this in the district,
and one of them el assault Chief Petty Officer type tough guy.
Design says guys that are assholes. I said the captain's
yell the horror and he's right. They're horrible people. They're
very arrogant. They think they know No at all like, which is
probably what you have to be on a ship but doesn't work well
outside the ship environment. And I think that's the same
thing that's going on with Kirby's got one of those
arrogant styles,
very arrogant and so arrogant, that he just refuses. And this
is about Iran and Saudi Arabia, which I want to get into with
you. So Saudi Arabia chopped off the head of one of the clerics
Iran is mad back and forth, oil prices starting to rise a little
bit, which is probably what this is all about. Here we have a
Matt Lee asking a very simple question. And he just doesn't
get the answer from Kirby oh, by the way, in the chat room. You
know, I drink coffee during the show, I'm talking it's very
physical. So my stomach is just tired, upset. So I took a I took
a calcium product. For those you sit in there, like
it's at a meeting and to show that meeting industry up, give
the eating on the show guy,
guys a whole you know, it's a whole bunch of social justice
warriors. eff off.
Do you say that you condemn the attacks? On the Saudi diplomatic
facilities? Why not condemn the executions? Well,
again, I would just tell you what,
what's going on here is the attack on the Saudi Arabian
embassy in Iran is being condemned in the strongest
possible terms by the State Department. But the
decapitation, the beheading of the Iranian cleric, he won't
apologise, he won't condemn it? Well,
again, I would just tell you what I said before we we have
expressed our concerns about the legal process in Saudi Arabia,
we've raised those concerns with the Saudi government, we will
continue to do that. What we want to see is for Saudi Arabia
to respect and protect human rights and to ensure a fair and
transparent judicial process.
executions, I think your White House colleague was asked is
pretty much the same thing, same thing? And he replied, we
certainly would condemn any country that carries out mass
executions. Does that mean that you're condemning the Saudis for
doing this?
I've answered the question.
You have an answer that you've answered to your satisfaction,
but I don't think you've answered it to the satisfaction
of anybody else. Because you're you won't use the same word. We
have you will, that you do with with with Iran and the attacks
on the Saudi Embassy as you will as you do with the
army. There are two different issues. I mean, the Saudi
Embassy came under attack we have in the past, I've been very
clear about attacks. Dramatic
bullshit. You just won't do it. Of course at the same time we
kill prisoners to I don't know, beheading is probably more
humane than than the way we do it.
Might be but it's more fun to make him suffer.
Yeah, but I the executions are you know, that's that's
television man right there. flopping around on a
business before we'd be made. We wouldn't have to be doing
anything. You would just be raking in the dough.
If we had a show that was sick. It's called on Skid Row. Where
does that already exist? It's called we're killing you, I
think is the name of the show. We're killing. We're killing
you. And we have the cliffhanger Joe killed and just before the
commercial break, she is zooming on the telephone will the
governor call will he stay the execution? We'll be right back.
And we come back and of course we're going to kill now I think
what was going on to
touch is zooming in on the industry for commercial in that
great
we have to then cut to the to the condemned man's eyes you
know the fear. Nice. Producer can dream Canty. So here's a
quick little bit about this rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
And it seems that other oil rich countries are hopping in there
do and it's not working, but they're really trying to do
something I believe it's to create strife in the Middle East
and then the price of oil is supposed to go up in an
interview Monday, the Saudi foreign minister stood by the
kingdom's actions, calling Nimr al Nimr, the Shiite cleric a
terrorist and extending sanctions against Iran.
We decided to cut off all diplomatic relations with Iran.
We will also be cutting off all air traffic to and from Iran. We
will be cutting off all commercial relations with Iran
and we will have a travel ban against people travelling to
Iran
a firm response from the Saudis two days after protesters
stormed the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, the ledger Ballina, it
all started with the execution of the Shiite cleric, an
outspoken critic of Saudi Arabia Sunni. On Monday, Saudi Arabia's
allies also cut ties with Iran, Bahrain and Sudan. The UAE has
now downgraded its diplomatic team. Yeah.
But the thing is if they were doing this to get the point
price of oil up they failed. Yeah, no,
no, you got you missed this one. Oh, what did I miss? This was
never there's a price oil is not an element in this game. Oh, I
thought it was. It's the element is to get the price of oil to go
down. Why? Well, what what's happening here is the Saudis
know that the Iranians will be putting their oil into play with
this newest agreement with the United States and it will be
right in the international market selling their oil. The
Saudis and they know that the cost of oil to be produced in
Iran is is more a little more expensive than it is in Saudi
Arabia, which can really pretty much make oil profitable at 10
bucks. Right? So the Saudis have cranked up production I didn't
know this. I didn't Max the sink. I didn't know this. Okay.
I think the Iranians had to hurt them. And of course it would
also hurts the Russians who really crap on what hurts
everybody not to hurt no, it doesn't the American motorist,
no, not the American Motors but the American oil companies.
It hurts the oil companies but we've always been better off as
lower economy with loyal lower oil price because oil is energy
energy produces money, the cheaper the the input of the
the more profitable your energy is. Yeah,
that's more profitable. Good point. It's more profitable.
Your finished goods are more profitable because of low
energy. Where
are we now with, with with the price of oil?
That right now it's about $33. And we gotta love it. Gotta love
it.
Gotta love it.
Yeah, Tina says she got regular gas for a buck 60 The other day
in Texas. Wow. Yeah, that's great. And premium is 199.
I haven't got my premium, I think here is around 230 to 40.
Yeah, but it's still a better deal than it wasn't is headed to
five or six bucks. So one or two bucks is good, too. Are
we behind this then somehow? Or is it purely Saudi Arabia? I
don't. We don't like this oil. right thing. So because the well
we do you and I should like it. We should like it, the public
should like it. But these oil companies have gotten so used to
paying all this extra money just like banks and foreign but
pharmaceuticals.
So where is the posturing? Why the posturing that if the idea
was to get zero down by cranking up the output, you don't need to
be posturing and cutting people's heads off. Do you was
that just for fun?
They were I think the Saudis were sincere. They had a bunch
of people they got a backlog of like 600 people whose heads need
to be cut off how many guys we got and so they started to up
you know, speed it up a little bit. So they get these get the
backlog out of there because it's costing them money. These
guys, they're all terrorists, most of them are gone off the
deep end even though the whole country is, you know, promotes
this sort of religion the hobbyists are based in Saudi
Arabia and the Salafi has come out of there but the the idea
was to keep them in check not to attack the royal family but
these people get a clue they you know, they gotta be this so they
kill them. And this this, and I think they're the Iranian cleric
is not Iran is a Saudi. These a Shiite Shia cleric, this guy
zubi Zubi, or whatever his name is. Yeah, can't remember seameo
Zenia. It's got he's got a double name again. And he was a
troublemaker. He was in jail when he was a kid. He's
always been a troublemaker. Yeah, he's
been to jail two or three times recently. He's been calling for
the overthrow of the royal family. I'm surprised they
haven't chopped his head off. Like years ago a or if they
didn't want to, you know, if they feel it's politically
incorrect to kill this guy, they should have just deported him
and her head is gone. I mean, it's not been played well. And
the Saudis are all you know, they're like, you know, like
Trump in that bad video. Oh, oh, you know, we meant to do that.
Yeah. Okay.
Oh, get my nation east. The beta test for all things happening in
the rest of Gitmo nation proper, new rule. From London, Britain's
drug regulators have given the go ahead for a British American
Tobacco, electronic cigarette vaping device to be sold as a
quit smoking medicine. Now this now we see the plans unveiled.
That's nice. That's a good this is different. This is different
than what we expected. The decision to licence ba TS evoke
product means it can now be prescribed on the state funded
National Health Service for patients trying to give up
smoking. Here's what's interesting that the medicine
and healthcare Products Regulatory Agency says we want
to ensure licenced nicotine containing products including e
cigarettes which make medical claims are available and meet
appropriate standards of safety, quality and efficacy to help
reduce the harms from smoking. So There is an admission here
that vaping is and they have a number here 95% safer than
tobacco cigarettes, according to the Public Health England, and
it is and so the vapour will be prescribed a person it will be a
prescription Magnum medicine. That one I didn't see coming,
I would have never seen that coming. It's one
thing to have to get approval. It's very it's expensive and
complicated to get a device approved expensive and
complicated. For every version of juice. You have the e juice
for every nicotine level, but you have to have a separate you
know, it has to be accredited and approved. But now this one
interesting and I think this if if the studies show which I
guess in the UK they have that it is a 90% safer than smoking
cigarettes and it is an effective method to wean
yourself off smoking of cigarettes Bonanza Dexter is
going to have a yacht.
The extra is going to be the rich walk
that kid can't believe the guy who
used to get you catching on some stock. Well, I
told him to set up a PLC some something that we could invest
in.
Something I love that. But here's an odd story. This is a
this is Lincoln's hand.
Oh boy. Lincoln's hand. It is an
York Times report on the theft of a sculpture of Abraham
Lincoln's hand. The giant foster hand has been missing from an
Illinois museum since at least December 11.
What was it you know what behind it?
What was it doing in the first place? That Lincoln's hand?
Yeah masturbators there.
Speaking of statues,
taking a stand in Berlin's Alexanderplatz are
whistleblowers, Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange and Edward
Snowden. Activists and members of Germany's Green Party
unveiled the lifesize bronze statues on Friday. All are
considered heroes on the political left for leaking US
intelligence documents. The sculpture encourages supporters
to stand up for freedom of speech and information. All
three figures are either in prison or facing trial for their
actions, their statutes will have fewer restrictions on their
movements with a scheduled World Tour. Funny,
though, let me get this straight. This is the celebrate
freedom of speech. They're all in jail. Has anybody noticed
this kind of like, lopsided?
It's not our beauties. Assange is not in jail. No, it's true.
You're right. Assange is not in jail. He will be though. Oh,
yeah. Oh, yeah. Let me see. We have all kinds of a couple of
things I want to follow up on.
But let's play. Let's play this horrible story. This is again, I
mentioned banks farmers and, and petroleum companies ruining the
world pipe. This has been in the news everywhere. I don't know
who's behind it. But everybody's covering it. Payday Loans. Yeah,
I did see this
last everything.
But not the loan. After nine months, the total amount they
owed grew from $1,200 to over 3000. That's an annual interest
rate of more than 300%. Title Loans and payday loans are
supposed to be short term quick fixes. For people who can't get
traditional credit.
Do you need fast cash, you've come to the right place.
They use high energy commercials and bank like storefronts to
entice people to borrow money at triple digit interest rates. The
problem, they are rarely short term. Borrowers frequently need
to take out a second loan to pay off the first one. It's called
flipping.
The average payday loan in the United States is flipped a times
are there a debt trap that's intentionally marketed to the
financially unsophisticated, intending to lock them in on
something that they can't pay back?
Former state lawmaker Steve Hickey tried to rein in the
industry when
I saw this report, but I didn't clip it. I'm wondering why you
did this. This is a news hour
right? I think so. And well, one of the things that's going I
clipped it because it was an interesting coincidence that the
worst state for this is South Dakota, and South Dakota less do
pretty much eliminate all banking laws to lure in the
credit card companies master car, the big banks and all the
rest of them. headquartered there, right. And then the other
interesting piece of data in this is that most of these
payday loans and all these other places, which are large
operations, they have hundreds and hundreds of outlets and many
publicly traded these places all came in when the consolidation
of all the community banks took place which is going to happen
to our bank over here and mechanics bank, and were and
were replaced by Citibank and chase and there They all became
big banks they became elements of the big banks with nobody
really the service the small customer. I'm totally convinced
that the big banks are the ones behind this. Oh, the big banks
Yeah, they're they've they've decided to pull the kill all the
little banks that are actually doing their job to put in these
horrible operation with these very high interest rates and
then buy off the same way that big pharma does buy off the
legislatures because this guy was a report was mostly about a
guy couldn't get a bill through the stop these ridiculous
interest rates because there used to be laws in this country
with the with the call you bursary laws that had to do with
these high interest rates. And that's why loan sharks were
making so much money, because they could charge more because
it was all under the table. And then once they eliminated the
ursery laws, which said you couldn't do this. All these
sleaze balls come into the office to orient to play in the
communities to steal all the money put people in permanent
debts much the way the students are, are screwed over. This is a
horrible, that's why I put the clip in there just so I could
say that this is outrageous and nobody can do anything about it.
And this is our legislators again not doing their job.
Where's Elizabeth Warren? I thought she fixed all this.
Where's Pocahontas to the rescue?
Well, Pocahontas the big talker?
Yeah. I have two quickies from Colonel Tony Schaefer. The end
Colonel Tony Shea Tony Schaefer, that he wasn't he was, was he
was a retired Of course. That's why he's on television. Now he's
talking about Afghanistan and about how we cannot pull back.
We cannot leave. In fact, I think maybe in this clip, he's
up to here two quickies. This is very, very bad. And of course,
we know why we can't pull out of Afghanistan. Right. Right. I
said Right, right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
Right. I'm guessing because the we have yet to find the right
guys to take over the distribution. And then heroin
business has been
going on essentially for the past six hours. And my word is
the word is I just received from the Pentagon sources I have is
that our guys are out there. Goodness. Doesn't say that a
situation stabilised. This. This area. Marsha is the meeting
engagement right now, Megan, regarding the current war, this
is the area where even the ISIS folks are going in to take over
this is essentially ground zero for the drug war. And whoever
gains control of this region becomes the arbiter of another
economic centre. So this is no small issue. Yeah. And it's
not the drug war. It's the drug production. That's not a drug
war over there. It's the where we know drug, drug wars drug
production. I have a follow up from
General Dunford had to convince the President recently regarding
the troop levels, their general jumper has come in and doing a
review of what's going on. The bottom line is this Megan, if we
depart now we abandon the investment of blood and treasure
in Afghanistan, we will see ISIS take over the centres of
economic production, the drugs, the the trade trail is
everything. And frankly, it'll become worse than then I believe
Syria even by the fact that they will destabilise Pakistan
Pakistan has make it a weapon so we have to consider the results
of Libya and the results of Syria not taking positive action
no agenda listeners know what's up we all know us Oh, yeah. We
can have other people running those drugs.
Well, I guess those guys they let go from the get Mo Yeah, get
mo proper they're going up there. They're getting up I
think that guy that guy must have retired or not paying him
enough. He's supposed to have taken over the business. It
seems that look, at least according to our theories.
I got a really disturbing note on my door today, John. On your
one on my door. My door here. I've been in the in the
skyscraper. Yeah. What is say? Well, everyone had one on there.
I tweeted a picture of it. You may not have seen it. No, it's a
hoppy our H O P P why? Come celebrate our hood? Thursday
afternoon. That's today.
Oh, I guess see this. I did. Yeah, I saw this. It was on your
Twitter, your feet edit picture and you said I don't think so or
something like that as a response. Yeah, but
you didn't. Maybe you have to click on the picture to see what
it says. It says at the bottom Thursday afternoon. This is the
hoppy hour come celebrate our hood, free drinks snacks and
cornhole with your neighbours. What? Free drinks, snacks and
cornhole with your neighbours?
What is that? What was the word they wanted to say?
I don't know. Someone's getting cornhole today. Sounds like a
recipe for success to me. I mean, you got
a collectible now.
Look at that picture. Free drinks snacks and cornhole with
your neighbours. I've met the neighbours on a cornhole anybody
today?
What do you think that was? Obviously that's not what they
meant to say, well, what could it possibly
think that maybe there's something that we just read
differently? Maybe cornhole was a sub is a Texas thing.
The good be coring says to me with or else you're gonna do on
Sunday neighbours let
me check cornhole we did neighbours let me see why
cornhole now though become a member of the American cornhole
association the ACA consists of your friends and neighbours what
is you play corn? Oh it's a game. See that? There I am there
we are with our dirty minds John. ACA members are eligible
for corn holder of the Year Award why? It's a game run with
these people it's a game it's a game what can we name the game
that it's been called many things corn toss beanbag being
tossed soft horseshoes, Indiana horseshoes, but too many of us
born and raised in Kentucky and the southern part of Ohio the
game is passionately referred to as cornhole
Oh, it's a Kentucky southern Ohio thing. Yeah, I guess I'm
just trying to promote it into Texas where they probably all
laugh at this idea.
There's no There's very few native Texans here in this
building. I'm gonna go down the time I've been knocking on doors
give that a shot beauty. I have a note two notes. One. We this
is two shows that hadn't been written, designed and gotten to
it. We have a producer project which I think will be fantastic
for a future show a compilation show. And this is not an easy
task. It's only for people who really have been listening to
the show for a while and kind of know where to where to where to
seek this out. We think it would be a great show to have John's
stories just one after another So the story is like you know
you would when you're frozen on the motorcycle trying to pick up
the chick another one is when you were learning how to you
know fight chemical fires with
a bunch of mechs he told the story last night about my my
first time I shot an elephant gun story.
Oh, we don't know this story. Here's a fine example. Story.
No, no, I don't think so.
Alright, so I'm shooting with this guy. First of all, he's a
Silicon Valley CEO and he makes me promise to never mentioned
that he was doing this. He's shooting because he's got a huge
gun collection. It's great to shoot with him. So I'm shooting
with him. And he does mention this one side story which is, he
says above all people he says Do not tell John Doerr, the Kleiner
Perkins. Because John Doerr is an extreme anti gun nut up to
the point where there was a Halloween party raised not
reasonably it's probably five or six years. I remember the story.
Yes, somebody comes in with a in a like a kid's cowboy outfit as
their Halloween thing.
I think that was Randy, who's the guy who wrote the riddle and
the monk Randy douchebag. No, no comments on Randy commissar
Yeah,
comes in with this with the cowboy outfit on and if toy gun
and apparently door went ballistic over this toy gun
being at the party, I've heard the story. Anyway, so we go out
shooting and so when we shooting all these different guns that
get the shoot of muscle fireball, which is a really
interesting gun to shoot and some other things and so this is
elephant gun. And so he says, so I actually hit the target that
was a big deal because you can't really aim it because you can't
really hold it steady enough as you get it was one of the shots
where you're where you're moving because the damn gun weighs like
50 pounds and just try moving around and you as it crosses the
target you shoot hoping to hit the target that kind of thing.
But before I wear the gun he gives me this like a football
thing is a bunch of padding. Oh giant shoulder Yeah, big thing.
And so this gun you shoot this thing and you go back about I
don't know four feet is what you know watch it pushes you back
and so I JC was also shooting and I say shoot this thing I
said no. This thing is like is not by any fun at all. And so
the next day I went I took a shower. This is the punchline to
the story. I I take off my shirt and I look my entire chest the
right side of my chest was one solid black and blues. Yeah.
shoulder down to the stomach. It was and this is what the
padding. There's some powerful weapons out there.
Oh, yeah. Okay, so let's not include that one. But
there's only got two then that two stories you mentioned. No,
there's many more stories. There's the Barbara Boxer story.
There's so many stories. Yeah, but that's the Bob. I think
there's good stories. You have about 30 to 50 stories. No, I
think you have about 30 good ones and we've talked about most
of them. No, okay, then I'm
just I'm gonna write them down as they come out. I'm gonna keep
The elephant gun story in play and I like this story. And I
should also talk about my skeet shooting story. See here comes
and the trap shooting story and some other stuff. But I'm I'll
relent and John's Oh, the old fart story now
they're nice stories. I like your stories. They're funny to
listen to, especially if I get to provide colour commentary.
Good.
We next half hour show, I got
an A number of speaking. I got a number of very concerned tweets.
People were angry. Why did you end the show early? You ended
the show half an hour early. Did you see this? And
the show a half an hour earlier. The show is targeted for 245.
Yeah, well, a lot of people were very upset that we teased. We're
going to talk about Nigel Farraj his attempt on his life and we
didn't and we didn't the people were actually say have the gall
to say you ended the show early. Why don't you go listen to
episode one and tell me if we ended the show early?
Yeah, well, I don't think people should be listening to Episode
One. Okay, well, let's talk about Nigel Farage.
Yeah, so I'm apparently someone tried to kill him. The wheels
came off his car.
And this was like in November or something. It wasn't reported.
It hadn't. Really. I thought it was like a month and a half
later. I
didn't know that. Yeah, no.
No, we know that they tried to kill him before with a small
aeroplane crash. Yes. And now they're taking the wheel off
that car.
I think that's kind of the problem. This is in Europe. I
think he was on vacation. Yeah.
So what who's trying to kill him? You think?
If I, if I were to if I were to guess probably people from his
own party, that was the habit. That's what I'd guess. That's
where I'd start.
Well, all we have to do now is dig up a really good fresh Nigel
Farraj rant. Yeah, well, they seem pretty nonplussed about the
whole thing. He was nonplussed about the aeroplane.
I mean, as if we can somehow deconstruct who took the wheels
off his car. I don't see much else we can do.
Yeah, yeah, we probably shouldn't have teased it either.
That's good news, though. John. We finally have someone we can
vote for just announced today. Finally, Gary. John says right,
he's in and we knew that member I told you that that I met his
friend and he said he's gonna run. Yes, you did. Say this is
two months ago, probably.
No, it was longer than that.
This is good, because now I know his friends. So I can call them
and you know, we can. We can get involved. Yeah, I want he says,
Here's his quote. But I want to take this opportunity to
announce my candidate announced my candidacy for president. I'm
hoping to get the libertarian nomination for president in
2016. So he's going libertarian again. Well, it's good. I'll
vote for him.
I voted for him last time.
I voted for him last time too. I like him. I think he's a nice
guy. But you know, and I said to his to his friend, Dan, said,
dude, like he's gotta lay off the we don't let him become the
weed candidate again. I mean, we all for that. But that's all the
people Oh, well, you want marijuana. You want weed? Weed?
Weed? Weed does not good. Especially because it looks kind
of stoned.
Yes, he does. He has a stone quality.
We should do an interview with him.
Talking about anger.
Good guy, though. Happy, happy that he's running?
Yes. Well, he's Yeah, we don't have an agenda on the show. We
have no agenda. But we liked that guy.
Yeah, but maybe we'll see what his what he's talking this year.
But if it's the same as last time, I'm okay man. Totally got
to do this man.
Here's the screwball story. Oh, this is the anger that you
talked about the people angry at us in the chat room. That this
is the anger survey. Oh, yes.
Welcome back, anger and frustration, arguably the two
defining characteristics so far of this presidential election.
But who in America is angry? And why? Well, we teamed up with our
pals at Esquire magazine, in an attempt to find out, we asked
Americans this simple question compared to a year ago. Do you
get angrier more often than you used to about current events or
news while overall 49% of Americans said that they in
fact, do get angry more often? Well, who are these angry people
who was the angriest? The anger is group whites that turns out
whites are angrier than African Americans and Latinos a majority
54% of whites said they're angrier compared to just 43% of
Latinos and 33% of African Americans. And while there is
anger on both sides of the political aisle, there's more
anger among Republicans. 61% of them say they're angrier than
they were last year compared to 42% of Democrats who describe
themselves that way. But here's our big mythbusting moment of
our survey. It's women who are angriest 53% of women said
they're angry or today than they were a year ago. Compare to 44%
of men, and it's white women who are most angry of all 58%. They
say they're angry or today than a year ago, compared with 51% of
white men. So we've told you who is angry. When we come back in a
moment, why not attempt to tell you why these folks are angry?
And who might benefit the most can later in this campaign.
Wow. Wow,
they did attempt they get nowhere.
They can't lay it on anything. Well, we know that the white
women have been targeted specifically by the Democrats.
To make them mad. Make them mad about guns make the man about
crazy white dudes make them mad about everything. Yeah, so it's
work.
I guess, although this thing is a dubious survey, it seems to me
as a monkey. thing. It's a mouse.
And that's the dead guy. Yeah, that guy. That's what's her
name? Sandberg husband, that's his company. Yeah, monkey
surveys, survey, monkey
survey, monkey, get it back. And it was done on Esquire. So
that's probably a self selected. Who knows. But and I know Mimi
is spending a lot of time at the city council meetings with a
building a huge coalition of haters. Because the City Council
Port Angeles, turns out are a bunch of corrupt douchebags. And
they sent out a survey to the public as to whether the public
wants fluoride or not. And the public said no. And so that, you
know, it was like, it was typical, you know, off Valley,
you know, one of these off election day, sir, not a survey,
but an actual vote people took, but you know, they get the
expected like a 30%. attendance and they got like, almost, I
think almost 40 some number, but 40% of the people voted. And
like most of them said no. And so this douchebag City Council
led by a couple of real clowns, one of them in particular said,
Oh, well, since only 40% voted, that means the other 60% Must
probably met Yes, right. Therefore, otherwise, they would
have voted, therefore, therefore, we're keeping
fluoride in the water. That's like, awesome. It's gotten
everybody upset.
This is just like Austin the same thing. Yeah, I'm saying
it's everywhere.
This whole country's having these problems with local
governments and Mimi's got this theory about if you can't fix
your local government, you can't fix anything. And so is that her
slow guy, that's her one of her statements and I like it too.
And so she's gonna, you know, just I'm she's running with a
bunch of people. They're gonna try to oust everybody, because
it's been going on. Because she does a lot of research she gets
online next thing you know, she's finding the exact same
quotes about the phoney baloney election against the fluoride
being on all kinds of topics. Every time this comes up, these
guys do what they want to do, what they want to do is, and
most local governments, like you said, Austin, they're all acting
like this. And they all have to be drummed out the passive
public that's putting up with this has to get involved and
actually run for office and fix things. Yes.
And this is the same that's going on in Austin with the ride
sharing companies with Ubers. You know, we have until I think
February 1, and then they'll have to do a dish take
additional background checks, and we'll have to pay a $450 per
driver fee per year. And there's pretty much nobody I've spoken
to who is for this, I haven't heard anyone say yeah, I don't
feel safe or, or whatever. And we know it's just it's just to
an end they even have a name now is no longer you know, Uber
rideshare it's T and C now, was it transportation out NTS
national transportation companies or platforms have some
for some term Ford which is thing as TNC and and you know,
eventually this is going to be regulated, which may be
appropriate, but the people of Austin, they do not want this.
They do not want the regulator's
fine if that's what the public wants, but the public doesn't
want half the stuff that these local cities are foisting on
their dictators, and then foisting it on him because a
local lobbyists he's little, you'll corrupt operations, and
it's at the level of just petty corruption at the small towns is
really pathetic. I mean, and they sell out for anything. It's
just got to go as you guys have got to be ousted. Take over your
towns people. I got no time for that. Well, you got you're doing
something else, but it's at least as important and it's
about kind of about the same thing. So that helps, but
I think I could help run Austin through a podcast just to not
show up to city council or anything. Just do a podcast
every day. About the town
that would be useful,
banning douchebags. Beards, beards, get the beards out, get
them back. earrings out beards just finally John with all of
this talk about Whitey being so bad and white men and racist you
know be like xenophobic and we're you know we're militia and
we hate any of anyone else who's black anyone other than why does
all this stuff I think for the first time the other day I felt
just a twinge of maybe this is what it feels like if you know
if you've been black all your life probably doesn't you don't
think so?
No I think it's a different experience that just that this
is just normal bigotry and hatred on the smaller scale at
being black all your life is is different because you're also
have real elements of they don't just schools are crap and they
don't you know the culture is different enough that they can't
Well
let me say this it's a good start that got me feeling that
way so it's a good start you're doing your job oh okay, night
everybody. Very good anything I should be watching anything
coming up anything happening any games nothing yet once the Super
Bowl Super Bowl is that coming up?
Super Bowls always off. The good game will be January 11 On my
next show, and I'll be the national championship that
football thing is the college football thing is they got bad
ratings for all these games that come up with this these this
playoff system. And they're blaming all kinds of things for
the lousy ratings. I blame it on they taken most of the games,
and they've taken them off broadcast TV and put them on
ESPN. What kind of corruption is this more might as the NCAA put
college sports games exclusively on ESPN.
I don't know Oh, it must be a money thing.
It's must be a money thing and it's some some sort of
corruption again, at some level
