Oh, oh, oh, I didn't know this was gonna happen. Adam curry,
John C Dvorak. It's
Thursday January 28 2016 and time once again for you get mo
nation media assassination episode seven nine.
This is no agenda.
This new setup is so easy I can do my nails during the show
broadcasting live in the capital the drone Star State Austin
Tejas, FEMA Region six, eight in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I am doing my nails. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Robin Buzzkill.
Yeah, that's right. We'll probably talk about it in tech
news, but I'll say right off the bat, the show could fall apart
at any moment.
While you're barely your Bluetooth is flaky.
Now that was the you know, it's interesting where I spent
Tuesday, Wednesday, actually Monday night, all the way
through through last night. Setting up the new gear. Booths
time we've it's been three and a half years since the last system
was installed.
It's not broken. Let's fix it.
No, no, what I did is it's we do have it you have no idea but you
sound better believe me. You sound that I like sounding
better. And you know the delay on me hitting some of the the
jingles. You know you've even mentioned that like my like my
bill. That delay is gone was about a half an hour, maybe a
quarter second delay. your audio is crisper. Mine may be a little
crisper. I'm not sure. I can only you know you don't know
until you know, until you try it all out. But I did learn a lot
of things about what Macintosh what Apple is doing with their
Macs and we can talk about doing well. Why don't we save it for
the tech segment?
We have a tech segment today. I think we should Yeah.
I totally think we should man. Yeah. Crew. Okay. So amidst all
of that. There were a couple things going on. I completely
missed that democratic Democrat town hall. Who's promoting that
stuff.
They suck.
I mean, come on.
I like one good. I did one good clip from it.
I actually I pulled a couple that I thought would be
worthwhile discussing what
I got the one where they were the millennial comes up nervous.
Yeah. I think guys obviously stooge into doing this. Which
was a nervous wreck. nervous wreck. And you have it there.
I don't know what to click you're talking about? Oh,
well, that's a good question. Because I don't know either. Let
me take a look at the list.
Well, in that case, why don't I start off with who came up
first? You see Bernie Sanders. Oh, my God. My eyes are so bad.
I Cerise, really, really horrible. Okay, here we go.
Bernie Sanders during this town hall. It wasn't even a debate.
No, it was a very strange question and answer session was
completely scripted little show was what it was. Oh, it was, it
was so. So fake it this was Bernie Sanders who said
something. I thought that was interesting,
I believe, you know, in Iowa has played a very interesting role
in the fight for public education. And for 100 plus
years, what we have believed public education to be is up to
the 12th grade, free public education up to the 12th grade.
Guess what, the world has changed. A college degree today
is the equivalent of what a high school degree was 50 years ago.
Now.
He's, I'm pretty sure he means by saying it's what you need in
today's society, which I disagree with. But it is kind of
a sad statement. Because really, the education that the children
in America get from college is equal to what used to be a high
school education. That's how I see it.
Well, you know, this kind of analogy is
it's a, you know, it's just it's fake. It's
bullcrap. It's not a it's just dumb people do this sort of
thing all the time. Be all he really wants is to have
everybody get when I was a kid. When I was a kid, I have a
college education. I went to University of California
Berkeley I didn't pay anything I mean, there was tuition but was
like a couple 100 bucks and it was just good. It's a state
school correct. And and then when you went to get books or
you go to the US bookstore and buy us textbooks, you didn't
have to spend nowadays the textbooks are hundreds of
dollars and they're all one
a horse. Of course you can't use it next semester.
No, because history has changed. These books, they're good for
decades. Oh, somehow, Matt, the principles of mathematics have
changed.
Ain't you every year but I took it. I took this is a
scam I
took it to be a very cynical, cynical statement. So the scam
is what the scam is the way they are would Bernie Sanders wants
to do is it would go back to what it was when you were a kid?
Yes, that's what Bernie Sanders wants. Yeah. As I said, it's
become a complete money making scam, it's a scam. They charge
too much to go to these schools. There's no reason for it.
They've assumed the state the state has to pay for most of it
and I don't need your money. And the state kind of pulled back
and so we got to build new buildings. It's most of these
universities that are the solid ones they have their set in
stone they've got a bunch of old built the last monster buildings
but no, we want to build new buildings. So they got a
University of California it's like twice the size it was when
I was a kid. Yeah.
Buildings and Janet Napolitano is running the show.
Yeah, they're chintzy buildings are crappy look, there's no Arca
do the old campus. Beautiful architecture. It was eclectic.
Unlike Stanford, which is pretty much it looks like the same but
Stanford didn't, you know, the they build new buildings too,
but they didn't really mess with the architecture so much. i It's
very annoying. And then in the case of the University of
California, Berkeley, when they solicit money, they're always
asking for money. They asked us how long? Why did they take the
money that I've heard you know, that any device that the alumni
have already given them? Why did they take that money and give $1
million to Barack Obama? What are they doing giving a million
dollars to Barack Obama? Is this some sort of is this like some
sort of an extortion racket that the government is running with
the with this colleges? Maybe? I mean, it's gotta be what what is
the point of a university giving $1 million to Barack Obama's
campaign?
Well, you will recall that it was the military academic
industrial complex. That's how it works.
Alright, let's start with this. Try this clip. No, we're not
starting.
I've already started while you're looking for the clip. I
have another clip. But tell me what you got.
I got his slamming Hillary.
Okay, slamming Hillary president
for both sides, a last minute push to convince voters like
Mary Meyers or you caucus for Hillary
and Oh, eight. And now you're undecided about her? Yes. Why?
There's just been so many issues of credibility.
Now, this, I wondered, the beginning of this clip has got a
meme. I didn't notice it as a meme until I was doing the
clips. As we as often happens, yes. Often happens. The meme is
and this is an ABC, which is doesn't like Hillary. No. So
they go out of their way to slam Hillary. Yeah, very obvious to
me. But the meme and it's on all the networks is that they go up
to somebody they find somebody that was pro Hillary, right to
the last one, but now they're changing their minds. And the
one that I didn't have clip because it was mostly visual. I
think it was on CBS. They had oh, here's a woman she was she's
got a Hillary button on and she's changing her mind at the
last minute. She's not not so much for Hillary anymore. And
she shakes her head. I don't think so. I'm not gonna vote for
Hillary and then she will have what what's your percentage?
What I think 5149 I'm not gonna, I'm gonna go for you. No, no.
Okay, so is that your setup?
No, I'm just wood. That's the beginning of this clip happened
to have that little meme in there. I wanted to explain it
president
for both sides, a last minute push to convince voters like
Mary Meyers, you caucus for
Hillary and Oh, eight. And now you're undecided about her? Yes.
Why?
There's just been so many issues that have kind of been brought
to life that make you kind of second guess,
where she stands in the last forum
before Monday's big caucus, one young voter confronting Hillary
Clinton head on.
I've heard from quite a few people my age that they think
you're dishonest. But I'd like to hear from you on why you feel
the enthusiasm, isn't there? Look,
I've been around a long time, people have thrown all kinds of
things at me. But if you're new to politics, if it's the first
time you've really paid attention, you go, Oh my gosh,
look at all of this. And you have to save yourself. Why are
they throwing all of that? Well, I'll tell you why. Because I've
been on the front lines of change and progress since I was
your age. I have
that I have a little longer version of that clip and I
pulled it specifically in a longer version and then because
she had a three and a half minute answer, which I chopped
down I'd like to play that again. What's what's what I
found interesting is who this kid is. Because you like the
spontaneous town hall meeting that it was the control room was
very able to bring up everybody's lower third name
Chiron just in seconds. It was amazing. I will. Astonishing I'm
telling you these guys, you had no idea for such an impromptu
little a little deal. This kid's name. Let me see. He is here it
is. At Taylor gimble and Taylor Gibbs is not just some little
millennial, he works for Principal Financial Group in
Iowa. F. This is a huge contributor to the DNC, huge
contributor. And they just happen to have their their guy
there who is a millennial. And if you look at his musi what His
age is, I looked him up on his LinkedIn page. But he's about
30. Yeah, so that's not Yeah, it's an older millennial, and
have a listen to how she addressed him in full.
Let me help you up here.
As because what's his face? Cuomo said, Oh, he's thinking of
voting for Bernie, well, let me help you up here.
It feels like there's a lot of young people like myself, who
are very passionate supporters of Bernie Sanders. And I just
don't see the same enthusiasm from younger people for you. In
fact, I've heard from quite a few people my age that they
think you're dishonest. But I'd like to hear from you on why you
feel the enthusiasm, isn't there?
Well, I think it really depends upon who you're seeing and
talking to look, I've been around a long time, people have
thrown all kinds of things at me. And you know, I can't keep
up with it. I just keep going forward. They fall by the
wayside. They come up with these outlandish things, they make
these charges, I just keep going forward, because there's nothing
to it. They throw all this stuff at me, and I'm still standing.
But if you're new to politics, if it's the first time you've
really paid attention, you go, Oh my gosh, I got all of this.
And you have to save yourself. Why are they throwing all of
that? Well, I'll tell you why. Because I've been on the front
lines of change and progress. Since I was your age, I have
been fighting to give kids and women and the people who are
left out and left behind
a chance to see as she's ramping this up to me it was so first of
all we know these questions are all pre screened. Everybody
knows what's going on. She had this was their first question
out of the gate. And she wanted that specifically to address
this head on and to do this ramp up screaming monologue
the most out of their own way. Listen to the status quo time
and time again. I've had many many millions of dollars spent
against me boy the insurance companies the drug companies why
they spent million
I know she's she's in bed with the with the insurance companies
yet they spend millions against her. Oh my
goodness, just against the issue but against me, and 8 million
kids have insurance because of that today. So you got to keep
up with it. Jess, she says that she did
she do it you
listen to the Listen, let me let her finish her rant.
That's my that's my hope for you and for all the young people are
getting involved this first time don't get discouraged. It's hard
if it were easy. Hey, there wouldn't be any contest but it's
not easy. There are very different visions, different
values, different forces at work, and you have to have
somebody who is a proven proven proven fighter somebody who has
taken them on and one and kept going and will do that as
President that's why I hope he'll reconsider the mistake she
always she made some mistakes there. Couple of things you got
to replay the cut down version.
Oh, they completely I know that's what I liked so much
about it they completely Yes, I'll get
it they they've done a couple of things is take a look at because
this is a good deconstruction because it's ABC again. And like
I said it's prefaced it with they don't like her. Right. So
they took out all of it took out the applause took out to her
spiel. Yeah, pause. Yeah, it made her look like an idiot.
Yes. Yeah, great. Yeah,
they did exactly that. Now, but what really got me was this
obvious flub, which was just beautiful.
Got another question for you. Brett Rosengrant. He's from
Logan. I was going to school works as a supervisor for a
janitorial company says he's undecided has a question. Great.
Secretary Sam are Clinton.
I can see why they gave you this question.
Whoa, okay. So this is a twisted mind bender. The kid stands up
flubs says Sanders. And then he's I mean, Clinton. He then
says, Secretary Clinton, and then he says I can see why they
gave you this question addressing Hillary. So he was
given a question to ask her. It's not his question thing was
his question. Oh, ridiculous.
I did like get a script this thing like this and make it a
giant get
some real actors. Well, you don't know that. Spend a little
money people spend a little money get some actors in there.
I thought O'Malley was a interesting because he is
probably the first politician who said what climate change
really is all about. And I liked his little this was the only
thing worth it from his
website Martin O'Malley dot com. But you know what I believe is
the biggest issue that I think you should be concerned about as
a young person who has more time on this planet than I do. And
that is climate change
I love his I'm gonna get votes with this. I love his
inflection. He didn't say climate change that climate
change that that's you don't hear that often.
It's my was funny. I was watching one some show of this
crazy game show called Hollywood game or something. And, and the
woman who is that? Actress that's I've can't remember her
name, but she's very, you know her. She She says Lady Gaga.
Hello, you don't actually get outside. If you say Lady Gaga.
Good guy. Alright, let's, let's go back. So climate climate
change, not climate change, climate change. It's
a young person who has more time than I do climate change. And
that is climate change, change.
I'll ask it again. This joker think that's gonna get him
votes? Well, here's what he said, Hey, honey, we gotta get
down and vote because of climate change. Well, you didn't
see the town hall. I don't think I did. But I thought what he
said after this, you won't be so judgmental. John GaaGaa.
And that is climate change. Climate change is the greatest
business opportunity to come to the United States in 100 years.
I like that, because that is the truth. It is 100% business
opportunity. And the Democrats are all in on the business
opportunity of climate change.
And I am the first candidate in either party to put forward a
plan to move us to a 100% clean electric energy grid by 2050 and
create 5 million jobs along the way.
He's going to create 5 million jobs over the course of 35
years. Wow, we need this guy as President
to another one of those instances, Chris, where I was
pointing the way forward look at what you have already done in
your in your state. Just look at it 30 to 35% of your energy now
comes from clean Iowa when there's you're
taking the same thing.
You're clean Iowa wind, exactly.
Okay, then, did I have something else here? I think I had. We had
trustworthiness. Now that was pretty much anything that was
interesting from that rehearsal. But we had a lot of other crazy
things happen. And one of the obviously incredibly fun for a
programme like no agenda is Donald Trump, deciding he will
not participate in the fox hosted debate this evening.
Now I have the rundown of that on ABC, who which is waffling
between candidates. And I'm not sure what
well. Before we do that I have a three by a two of the three by
three for us. A to two or three by three. So I think I get the
jingle and now it's done bowling free. Experiment by JC comparing
story from ABC
and now in its 13th month, so here is ABC on Trump possibly
are more than likely not participating in the debate
tonight, Donald Trump in full renegade mode, predicting
without him no one will watch tomorrow's debate on Fox News
Fox News responded with this snarky statement. We learned
from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both
intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly. Trump has his own
secret plan to replace the cabinet with his Twitter
followers. Just hours later at a news conference, Trump's fury in
full frame, the GOP front runner eviscerating Fox News, Kelly and
her boss Roger Ailes.
All right, then we had NBC This is that Bloomberg guy help help
bring he's on MSNBC or NBC
Trumps running any risk. It's that some voters in Iowa may say
this is immature. But I think that risk is relatively small,
particularly for the people already supporting Trump will
look at this not as a petulant move,
but as a move of strength.
I liked that they pulled into petulant which of course was a
word that would have we'd never heard used in this in this
entire their political cycle until the Republicans started
calling President Obama a petulant child, Chris Christie
to be exact. So that has very interesting connotations
regarding race. That's a good catch. Yeah, well, and here
is an I've heard it a couple of times. It's a meme. You're
right.
In here is Chuck Todd. These guys actually, I think they kind
of like what Trump is doing here. Well, they like it because
it's screw and Fox, obviously. Here we go.
Iowans could be offended by the idea. But here's where it could
be a shrewd move. Look, debates haven't been Donald Trump's best
moments. The most recent debate was probably
I know, he has to throw that in there. He's Chuck Todd
debate was probably his best to be talking about.
He's just talking. But he's got but watch. He's going to give
Trump some props.
The most recent debate was probably his best debate. But
that's grating a little bit on a curve. He's been fine. So here's
why it could be a shrewd move. Trump not being there. There's
no way he can make a mistake and say the wrong thing. But guess
what could happen? His chief rival and Iowa Ted Cruz, after
five minutes of bashing Donald Trump for being there? What do
you think the rest of the candidates are going to do? Are
they going to continue to go after Donald Trump? Are they
going to start piling on Ted Cruz? And who benefits more from
that? Donald Trump, this could end up being a very shrewd move
by
the far right, a shrewd move shrewd move by getting props
from the Chuck Todd. And I'm pretty sure that he's not going
I got the the announcement of his event for tonight. He's not
going to go to the debate that is not happening. He's not
showing up. For sure.
I don't think he I don't know what they would do if he did.
They said that while the fox released, had a press release,
and they said, Oh, no, we're still you know, we're still
welcoming Mr. Trump, he's more than happy to join us. But he's
rented out this, what the hall holds, I think, four or 5000
people some auditorium and look at it. Fox is going to have the
debate on tonight. He won't be there. CNN, MSNBC, everyone's
going to be covering the Trump event because they don't have
the rights to air the the debate. So it is it is going to
hurt them now. What kills me What doesn't kill me about this?
What what shows what I think it's the premise that that we
came up with a long time ago regarding Fox, is that it's run
by the Democrats. It's run by the Democrats. And I think we
have proof now. Because this was a complete Roger Ailes, the
owner of fox that it was his his move, that the owner of Fox,
yeah, but he's there, he runs the fox, he runs the fine side,
he runs the fox. And here's Glenn Beck, he
make an argument in the magazine that Ted Cruz is also made,
which is that you're not Beck was
on CNN with Cuomo. Beck is going everywhere now to discredit
after he announced his endorsement for Ted Cruz.
And this is the phrase that consistent conservative that
you've changed your positions on some things over time, what's
your response to that critique? I'm
sorry, this is the wrong clip. Here's back, this is the one I
wanted. But
when you have a guy who is angry, and then has an enemies
list, and starts just to take people down, over and over and
over again, if you disagree with him, he destroys you, that
that if that's the mood
of the country is they're in more trouble than I thought,
well, but here's the thing is they're a little bit of reap
what you sow in some of this for the GOP that engendering an
oppositional mode towards government and ratcheting up
negativity as a main line discourse. you wound up somewhat
birthing Donald Trump and now all some of those people who
were angry about what was going on.
I know we'll wait for his answer. It gets better telling
people
to be angry. Now they've got somebody who's harnessing the
power of exactly that. And you're disappointed.
Disappointed. I've warned against this. I mean, you go
back on my my shows on Fox and I warned the progressive movement
and that's what this is. This is Donald Trump is a progressive
Make no mistake,
saying he's a Democrat, pretty much. And then Ann Coulter was
on CNN, MSNBC with Chris Matthews.
What is going to happen here tomorrow, will he or won't he
show up Donald Trump?
I hope he doesn't. I mean, he's established himself as the real
as
an aside, you know, Ann Coulter's hair looks dynamite.
It's so clean.
Reagan's second iteration of her short hair cut.
I don't like it, but I don't like it. But she looks like
Rachel Maddow. Oh, make sense. Of course. That's another one.
We lose another one
Alpha Dog here as if he hasn't already. And look, I like a lot
of things about Ted Cruz, but one of his Achilles heels is he
does not have a sense of humour. And I would ask you to imagine
what if NBC had released such a press To release to a Republican
candidate before a debate, it really is. It really is kind of
shocking and I think Trump is, is shaking up the way people
look at Fox News as maybe not always our network.
Why do you think Roger Ailes who was who had to sign off I
assume, when any PR that went out, do this, it was sarcastic.
So I made fun of Trump and made fun of him made them the front
running candidate for the Republican nomination for
president. It made him into sort of a little chicken. And why
would why. Just last question because I want to understand a
little bit here. Why would Roger Ailes start a fight? They could
cost him? God? 2015 20 million people tomorrow night?
Finally a good question watching.
No, that's right. And that's why Trump has established himself as
the alpha dog. Well, I suppose because Fox News. I mean, I
don't know I don't know if Trump ales even saw it. But monopolies
can get arrogant. And there does seem to be a little bit of
arrogance here.
It's believed that Ailes wrote it.
Yes, of course he did. Of course he did. He wanted to undermine
Trump, as was his mission. And Trump was and this Trump was
already talking about maybe not showing up three days ago, says,
Yeah, I don't know about Megyn. Kelly, but you know, and then
they started then AOL started writing these these, these press
releases.
The key to understanding this is that if this was a neutral
battle, and you weren't correct about Fox being just antiTrump.
Yeah. And possibly run by the Democrats. Megan, when this
first began, she would have begged off, it would have of
course, great position, of course, he would have really
recused herself. Yeah, that was, you know, and here's the thing
that he imagined this is a publicity stunt for her. And
they, I'm thinking they didn't let her do this. But I wouldn't
be surprised if she didn't even attempt it. Because this is
taking one for the team. This is what you do. You come up and you
say, Well, it seems that it was unfair. And if you want to blast
Trump, this, this technique would also be the way to do it.
I was seemingly unfair the first time so I'm going to recuse
myself from this debate. I'm going to bring in Dana Perino or
somebody else. And, and I'll be honest about it, it's probably
right that I do this, because I really do not like Donald Trump.
Yeah,
I think he's a jerk that would have made her like dynamite.
That would be dynamite. Because she would then she said, so I
will take myself out of this. And I will not be into this
debate. She would get everybody to come to her side. But she
didn't do that. Now. Why wouldn't she do that? If she'd
be? Is she just a jerk? She wouldn't do it. She wants to
fight him again? No, there's no setup. For her not to recuse
herself. It
was the setup. And for Fox to say, oh, you can't dictate who
the moderators are. You can't dictate the questions. That was
that was pretty much their reply. Now.
Well, your play play this clip in the middle of these clips are
yours. This is the fox versus Trump versus Fox, this is on
CNN. Apparently You've stolen my beat. And I've gone to your beat
to get this sort of
a risk. I will also say just to step back a second. This guy is
basically at war with every power centre in the Republican
Party, there was a rule in politics that you don't go to
war with Fox News and Roger Ailes, because that network is
too powerful and too influential in Republican politics. And
Trump has been at war with them all season and he is winning. He
is at war with the conservative intelligencia from National
Review to every conservative columnist, in the opinion pages.
And he's winning. This is a essentially a hostile takeover
by Trump and his fans of the Republican Party that we're
watching in real time.
So something very interesting happened with his announcement
that he will be doing a an event during the debate for veterans
and wounded warriors. Now there's two things that are
interesting about this one. Sarah Palin messed up, although
she didn't say it. It was It stuck to her that she was using
veterans and wounded warriors, not the organisation but warned
wounded warriors as a as a group of people to slam the president.
So Trump is very, very smart by weaving in wounded warriors and
veterans. Oh, but you know, we're all for that. You know,
just remember were the guys who were all for them. And CBS by
some amazing coincidence comes out with this with a gift of
just $19 a month you can join the
Wounded Warrior Project.
In its commercials Wounded Warrior Project appeals to the
American public's generosity and it works in 2014. Alone, the
group received more than $300 million in donations.
Their mission is to honour and empower wounded warriors. Well,
what the public doesn't see is how they spend their money.
Army Staff Sergeant Eric Mallette came home for Iraq in
2006 with a bronze star and a purple heart along with a
traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Initially he admired the
charity's work and participated in its programmes. And he got a
shout out from the president than their staff sergeant Eric
Mallette. He took a job as a public speaker with Wounded
Warrior Project in 2013. But he quit after witnessing what he
calls lavish spending on parties for executives and staff, using
our
injuries, our darkest days, our hardships to make money, so you
can have these big parties. Let's get a Mexican mariachi
band in there. Let's get Morocco's made with the Wounded
Warrior Project logo put them on every staff members desk. Let's
get it catered. Let's have a big old party staying at a lavish
hotel at the beach here in Jacksonville one ocean and
requiring staff that lives in the area to stay at the hotel.
CBS News spoke to more than 40 former employees who described a
charity where spending was out of control. These two former
employees were so fearful of retaliation they asked us not to
show their faces
it was extremely extravagant dinners and alcohol and just
total access for
a charitable organisation that's serving veterans all this
expense on expensive resorts and alcohol it's
I mean it's what the military calls fraud waste and abuse so
this would not be your no agenda show if we didn't go and look
into the organisation the timing is very interesting
that I haven't had the exact same clip except I took to play
the clip a little longer than that because the best part of
the clip comes after what you just stopped well
I want that's because I wanted to mention that you mean about
the money but but
since you're right at the point where you are I do want to
mention a couple of things. One living at a hotel even though
you live nearby is not an uncommon thing for any org
That's how it works when you're doing a team building everybody
has a breakfast meeting everybody stays so that
everybody mariachi bands also not too crazy for a little get
together
not going crazy they also the hotel that they sought showed
and cited to pieces and then they keep mentioning dinner and
Alcohol Alcohol Alcohol and I'm not absolutely sure what they
were trying to prove with that but this was now they do have
one good number in this thing that is kind of a jaw dropper
which is the actual expense numbers but that's
what I wanted to that's what I wanted to go through though 99
The rest of it the rest I just want
to put when people get to that I want them to net listen
carefully after that. When they talk about this guy they're
doing the hit piece on which is this new boss right they do
today they do something very right after this. You just gotta
listen to it. They say And here he is this a they make him sound
like an egomaniac because here he comes into the event.
Yeah, Kelly Yeah, he rappelling on a horse. He was on a
Segway. Yeah, yeah. And they and they make a big deal as though
these guys coming into the event on a Segway have some sort of
weight waist or expensive proposition. I don't know what
to say it's a million of these events with these assholes are
always doing shit like this.
It's a hit piece. That's what it is. Okay, here are the numbers
real quick. In 2014 Wounded Warriors raised $342 million and
at the end of the year, they had 248 million leftover. A couple
of things that you should know now this is so it's a huge
organisation. Lots of people send money to it. And if you
look at their charter, which is probably good to read, so you
understand what they do. I think it's, uh, here it is. Wounded
Warrior Project, Inc. is a not for profit 501 C three
Corporation incorporated February 23. For the purposes of
providing vital programmes and services to severely wounded
service members and veterans in order to support their
transition to civilian life. And well adjusted citizens both
physically and mentally. The mission of the organisation is
to honour and empower Wounded Warriors our purpose is
threefold to raise awareness and awareness. That's interesting
flub awarness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of
severely injured servicemen and women. So they are a lobbying
organisation. All right. When you are in the lobbying
business, you need parties and alcohol. That's how it works.
That's how it works. I'm not defending them, but I do $300
million
that you couldn't see it, but when they played it, you can
hear so we had to black them out because they were afraid of
repercussions. This was bull Of course, these two guys blacked
out
the CEO Steven dz. What do you think he makes a nonprofit?
Probably two mil No, no, it's exactly on par with Planned
Parenthood with Cecile Mills now 473 He makes foreigners it
makes no wonder he's having these thought he has to drive a
segway.
The chief operating officer 369 Okay, these are reasonable
private fees. Yep, for this size of organisation Now here I have,
here's what they see the revenue, their revenue,
federated campaigns, 4 million fundraising events, 640,000. All
other contributions, gift grants and similar amounts, 307
million, of which only 45 million come 41 million, excuse
me comes from the United States government. The rest they raised
themselves and the people who raise that they also have $211
million in publicly traded securities. This is not uncommon
for a big organisation, but they certainly have more money than
they seem to be able to spend or they're expecting a lot more
wars. And let me see the organisation that does this. I
love this. Okay, it is. First of all, they sent they did send
some money to Europe $5.7 million to Europe, just for
whatever doesn't specify. But the fundraising was interesting
here, just creative, direct response. That look, these guys
are creative, direct responses in Bowie, Maryland. And they do.
This is all they do. They do fundraising for nonprofits. They
raised in 2014, with call outs and envelopes and mailings, $110
million. And they kept 2.9 million. What a business. A
great business.
Well, there's definitely a gouging.
No, no. So yeah, they the what they spend on conferences and
travel. Yeah, 25 million. That is less than 10% of their
overall take. And it's wounded warriors. The whole point is to
make these guys and gals you know, happy integrating. I don't
know, I in all big organisations with a lot of money, there's
going to be always going to be a whole bunch of crap going on.
But the way CBS position this and like
you said, Okay, let's make sure we mentioned something that
we've observed during the starting to three by three. CBS
hates Trump. Yeah. Yeah. And they they're they're Democrats,
and it says that's a Viacom or former Viacom I guess? Yeah. So
someone that's just like Sumner Redstone who hate Trump. And we
have, they're there to Hillary operation. Yeah. And ABC is a
Jeb Bush operation, but they do bushes out of it. So they're,
they're repositioning themselves. NBC is harder to to
identify because they're a defence department or former
defence department, or a defence department contractor, General
Electric Company, NBC, and now they're owned by Comcast and
Comcast is a conservative operation. I think that this is
becoming an issue within the company as we're starting to see
MSNBC dissolved into different kinds of shows moving some
people to Sunday getting rid of some other people Ed Schultz is
done. And he's working for you know, we're Ed Schultz turned
down our
tea. I know, it's great.
He said the bottom of the barrel, though. He's working for
he's working for change and tips.
Now you saw this, this this package of wounded warriors.
They had this on the shelf. This was something that was 11
minutes. They had this on the shelf, it was waiting very long.
And then at that you didn't produce that in a day, not what
not. And that's just no way you don't do it that way.
This was this was sitting on the camera. So they were ready
because
I think of Trump's Wounded Warriors consistently saying
this Wounded Warriors wounded warriors. They had the setup, it
is a total political move by CBS to do that. Now, here's the old
done. Oh, it was well if you didn't pay careful attention to
but but it was when you started hearing about how horrible it
was. This guy was rappelling down, then you know, is he
coming in on a Segway? Well, let's
play that piece. Where is it?
Well, that's the one that says,
right. It's not but it's not the
injuries, our days, our hardships
to worry about. Okay,
let's try here.
Daskal let's get a cable this
expense on expensive resorts and alcohol, it seems.
I mean, it's what the military calls fraud, waste and abuse.
According to the charities, tax forms, spending on conferences
and meetings went from $1.7 million in 2010 to 26 million in
2014. Again, it's
lobbying that's the number that's the that's the that's the
nut graph as it were. Yeah, that is for where you go once. Yeah,
yeah. Holy mackerel, look at all the money that you're
susceptible,
although they don't say you know, we had all these wounded
warriors coming back in that same period. That's why it went
up.
Now. You're susceptible? Oh,
$25 million. Oh, no. What else could be going on there? About
the same time you can
drop these little gems in there like he came in on a horse as
though That's some sort of crazy crazy spent expense the same
amount
the group spends on combat stress recovery, it's top
programme. Former employees say spending has skyrocketed since
Stephen nardis He took over as CEO in 2009. Many point to the
2014 annual meeting at a luxury resort in Colorado Springs as
typical of his style,
his style repelled down the side of the building to
make a grand entrance. Yeah,
he's coming in on a Segway. He's caught on a horse.
About 500 staff members attended the four day conference in
Colorado, the price tag about $3 million.
donors don't want you to have a 2500 on bar
high. Yeah, people can listen to the whole thing. In the show
notes.
Here's a $500 bar tab. What is peanuts for $300 million
organisation and their annual meeting their one shot meeting
of law staffers, 500 people to get him to get him out of the
office, and you have a $2,500 bar tab and this is a big deal.
It just sounds breathless is breathless. Oh, this is this is
the height of naivete that they that CBS should be ashamed of
themselves for doing a piece like this. Because to make
people think that a toy to actually try to make you think
that a $2,500 bar tab for 500 people. What's that? Five bucks?
What is it? 2500? By 500?
No, 10? I don't know. Five 550?
I don't know. I'm looking at it. 50. Yes. 50 bucks. Yeah. Now 50
bucks for a whole event per head at a resort. I don't care if
it's inexpensive. But what are you going to boy, are you going
to take these guys, the Holiday Inn?
I think you've made your point? No, no. Here is an interview
with Trump. That where I learned something, the ongoing question
of course, if Trump is a Democrat, Is he is he the right
kind of Republican,
you make an argument in the magazine that Ted Cruz has also
made, which is that you're not and this is the phrase that
consistent conservative that you've changed your positions on
some things over time. What's your response to that critique?
Well, usually I just evoke the name Ronald Reagan. I mean,
Ronald Reagan was a fairly liberal Democrat, and he evolved
over the years, it became more and more conservative. And he
was not a very conservative person. But he was pretty
conservative. And he ended up being a great president. And I
have evolved on many issues, and some issues are very much the
same. I've been consistent on many issues, but I have evolved
on certain issues. And I think evolved, you know, through
experience and through as you grow older, you see things and
you watch things and you study things. But Ronald Reagan was
the exact same thing. He was actually much more liberal than
I was he was fairly liberal Democrat believe a lot of people
don't know that. And he became a fairly conservative person, but
he did become
a great president.
I didn't know that Ronald Reagan was a Democrat before you joined
the Republican. He was
a big union guy. He's the one who didn't start it. He was the
head of the Screen Actors Guild. And he was a big radical
Democrat.
And 40s Up until 62. Yeah. Oh, by the way, it was $5.05 500
people. $5 2500
Yeah. $5.
Yeah. Hey, don't drink. Don't drink it all in one. Don't drink
it all in one gulp people.
So yeah. So $5 I had for the alcohol tab. Yeah. If you've
made your point. By getting get over
it, I know you can. But you have too.
Little this a quick Diddy from Trump. Since you won't be
hearing from him tonight. I thought this was kind of fun.
Now,
bottom line, I will do a number on ISIS, like you wouldn't
believe. But I don't want to sit here and tell you every single
thing I want to do. You know, at some point, we're warriors,
right. At some point, you have to surprise the enemy. I mean, I
watch these guys like Lindsey Graham, who's, who's just not a
smart person. He says we have to go here with this number of
people. We have to attack him from this level at this level.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could surprise them and knock the hell
out of
us? I just get tickled by it wasn't quite as good as a
Congressman Tom Marino though, but I caught this on some talk
show.
Here's what we have to concentrate on. And this
President just will not do. We have to kill them all. We have
to kill everyone in ISIS as many and as quickly as possible. But
here's
oops, we got to kill them, John. Wow. Yeah, I know. Last bit as
far as I'm concerned for, for the the elections 2016 There is
a lot of concern about the burn a lot concern about the burn
that they would
like to get this guy out of there. Oh, they
do not. They do not like him. Here's super elite Andrea
Mitchell with Matthews,
Bernie Sanders and It's neck and neck. If those kids turn out if
he wins Iowa, and he's gonna win New Hampshire, most likely,
after two victories, you're gonna see chaos on the
Democratic side, you can see Uncle Joe Biden saying, well,
maybe
I should. Well,
you know, this one. We haven't talked about and I don't know
how you erect that firewall. It's women. And I asked
Secretary Clinton and you know very well and I said, it doesn't
surprise you or disturb you. There's a lot of young women
don't realise what you've been through.
This stupid is what he's saying. Okay, let's,
let's do been through stupid.
A philandering husband. Is that what she's talking about?
Yeah, I guess, though, it's been so good. I think it's been so
rare. So rough, so rough for her to be a woman to to make it to
where she is so rough for her. It's been so tough. It's not
easy for anybody. But I don't think anyone called that I don't
think the UK Parliament has had discussions about banning her
from entering the country. I don't know how rough it is.
Susan Sarandon jumped in. I like her as an actress. Her politics
are interesting. And of course, she's a nutcase. And of course,
we know that she runs the Oscars, so white nominations for
actors for and for actresses. She's on the Board of Governors,
you okay. Yeah. I thought something dropped. No, no. And
she she had the distinct pleasure of introducing Bernie
Sanders and boy, she's all in
to unsold and pure. And we now have the opportunity to make
that man our choice for the President of the United States.
Yay.
Change is difficult. And what this man is asking of us is to
be the machine now. I give you
Bernie Sanders.
Ready for it? I give you
Bernie Sanders. All right.
Oh, crap. It's been so long since I got one of those. I
wasn't I wasn't even expecting it. Oh, my God, one more time.
One more time. I love that so much. He's like crying for poor
poor lady.
Bernie Sanders. I give you Bernie Sanders
keep that as an ISO.
Oh, wait, I haven't as nice so of course, I cut it as an ISO
expecting the ISO not expecting Clip of the Day.
Okay, have a well, I've got an ISO by the way.
Some stuff up here. Okay, that's what's your what's your ISO?
Well, I actually, I think because you can use this
throughout the show. Throughout any show.
I could use it on the daily source code you could play.
I agree. 100%. I think that's great analysis.
Yes. Now here. There's a couple of things we got to get out of
the way here. One of them is Orion O'Reilly is there was a
there was a good analysis. I don't have any clips. I'll just
summarise on Charlie Rose. They had a couple of guys on there
about discussing Roger Ailes and everybody else and of this thing
going on with Trump and roses getting a kick out of it. And
he's almost like, lively. He's getting such a kick out of it.
This guy goes on about how this guy was on Charlie Rose goes on
about how Trump has been set up by Fox to fail. And he had all
these theories. But But Carson ends up on O'Reilly and it talks
about O'Reilly and O'Reilly is apparently happy. This guy
mentioned O'Reilly is having a little feud with Kelly because
she's getting all the attention. And and so Riley is doing what
he can so he brings Trump on the show and he brings Diddy ham on
there.
Did he give Trump a whole bunch of advice? Tell him what to do
that he's not doing?
He always does. I know. But listen to this. This he I
thought the thing was originally he had Carson on this is Carson.
And Riley and this came on and there's something that that was
said in here that you do want to discuss as a deconstruction
because we'll play the Carson on O'Reilly clip.
That's reasonable. Now, do you believe in
general, the press has been fair to you?
I know you've taken some hits from the left wing press. You
just expect that but just overall Do you think you've been
reported on in an accurate way?
Overall? I would say no. I mean, you look at the attacks about my
Yale course about West Point about my temper, all of which
have been disproven, but the Press ever come back and say,
Oh, well, we found this and that was not true. Of course not.
Because their narrative is that this guy is somebody that you
can trust. They want to keep that out there recognising that
most people won't go to page 26 and see what the actual
direction. But But, but that's to be expected, because that's
what's happened to our press. You know, the press is the only
business that's protected by our Constitution. The reason is
because they were supposed to be on the side of the people, and
they were supposed to be objective by taking sides. They
have completely distorted the original intent.
I agree. 100% I think that's great analysis.
This is bullcrap. Yeah. The press has never been objective
it in fact, if you look back in history, most of the newspapers
were called like the Abilene Republican.
They were yellow journalism, as it were. That's where the term
yellow journalism actually came after this. The earlier period
where you had most of the papers are named like the press
Democrat over here locally. The Democrat and Republican talk was
in the title of the newspaper. And they were they were
Democrats that that the press Democrat at the time of its
founding was solid Democrat. They won't leave supporting the
Democrats who are pushing the Democrats are pushing the
Democrat agenda. That's newspapers were extremely
biassed they weren't lacking bias. They were all biassed it
was the reason for the up taken all of a sudden the emergence of
the journalism schools was the kind of put it put a hand up did
you push tamp it down a little bit because it was out of
control? These guys are full of crap historically. And it's
there I find it offensive that they promote this sort of
nonsense. It's bullshit.
You're you're you're feisty today. And well, good.
And I'm annoyed and let's get right
into a local story from Texas and
he gave me a pet peeve on that. No,
it needs to be angrier. Couldn't get sure John No,
John Cena for x.
I'll edit it together in the post will fix it and it'll be
fine. Yeah, they
fine. That's okay.
We had a grand jury indictment here in Texas couple days
earlier this week of the of the guys who made the video at
Planned Parenthood now. And I want you to explain a little bit
about the grand jury process in a moment. Because grand juries
are also the people who have not famously not indicted white cops
who have killed black kids. Even though the term in the in legal
circles in America, I think goes you can get a grand jury to
indict a ham sandwich. And in this case, it was great to have
this indictment This is not a verdict. This is an indictment.
Well, here's the here's here's the piece of lead and
says they're undercover techniques were the same as
other investigative journalists point underscored by
constitutional scholars like Cornell University's Michael
Doerr.
This could set a dangerous precedent and chill undercover
investigations by legitimate journalists.
The tactics are often used by so called citizen journalists,
activists from environmentalists to animal rights groups seeking
to expose wrongdoing.
Okay, this is interesting I began it's not a verdict. That
is although Miss Richards was out everywhere celebrating like,
Ah, now finally, justice. Oh, this is this does not say
anything. And it came up on CBS this morning and Charlie Rose
who is still tired, but he woke up momentarily, because he I
think he saw that something was off with this. But of course,
it's CBS This Morning. But they're not really discussing
the true implications of this kind of movement
Planned Parenthood has been accused of illegally profiting
from foetal tissue.
And yet what does this grand jury do? Well, the grand jury
does exactly the opposite of what was expected. The district
attorney in the grand jury had the task of going after and
investigating Planned Parenthood. Instead, the grand
jury two months later, after considering all of the evidence
comes out and indicts the people who were the pro life people who
were the people who took the videos.
Why did they indict these two individuals who had made these
videos what point is what they invade them for?
Government?
Thank you, Charlie, because they were not indicted for all that
much. I
think that the charges are really intriguing. There's a law
called tampering with a government record. What's the
record? What you have here is a fake ID of a fake company that
goes in and gets access where wouldn't have X
felony charge. They're indicted for the felony for this for
creating a fake badge.
He's also indicted for a misdemeanour. But is there an
exception for journalist? Well, he says there is. A there is
well, the law may say there is because we know that journalists
have been able to go on a go in undercover but we also know that
there have been civil suits against journalists. So No, he's
defences. Look, I use my First Amendment Right, right. I'm just
like a journalist. Right. It's an interesting event.
I don't know any journalists that use fake IDs. That's me,
but, but they certainly have gone.
I know by now, this is where it's headed. John Wright is an
idiot. Here comes the licencing. For being a journalist. This is
what it's going to come down to. This guy is is completely a
journalist. He may have an agenda. That's okay. It's not
like no other journalists don't have an agenda. But now you do
not need that you did. You falsified an ID, and that is
tampering with government property.
errantly, the way I understand it could be wrong, is that it
took his regular driver's licence like a California
driver's Oh, that
would make sense that makes sense overlay on it. Oh, he
tampered with government. But it's I mean, come
with government issued the dock. And I'm
pretty sure we've had many high ranking highly admired
journalists who have done similar things to get a story
whether they're biassed or not is irrelevant. If you say I'm a
journalist, then anyway, that's going to end it's just going to
end and
viewers might remember that Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes did
something very similar in Chicago, set up a sting to
expose corruption use phoney everything to
do undercover journalism is usually protected. This
is very unusual. These people are
an accredited journalists
problem now accredited Reddit accredited. If this comes back
to Nancy Pelosi members, she had that law, the bill that she
wanted, you have to have worked for so many years for was it
Pelosi and Feinstein?
I don't know, one of the two it doesn't make any difference? I
think it was Feinstein. But yeah, of course, which is
completely against the First Amendment. And you know, but
that no one was stands up for these things anymore. I thought
it was abhorrent that they pulled that stunt. Well, someone
I don't want a second, by the way, I don't believe for a
second because the way Grand Jury works is the prosecutors
come in and they have they have pointed they they target
something and then they push the grand jury to like, say okay,
this is like an investigative body that does that. You can
bring people in, you can plead the fifth or anything you have
to talk when you're in there. It's almost like the Inquisition
more than anything. So you, you go in there, they put you know,
some bamboo splints under your thumb and they start pounding
them until you tell the truth. And then you come up and the
grand jury says I don't think we got enough here to go on the
week. Okay, you can indict us Yeah. And they sign a little
document and says you can indict and now they have the excuse to
indict. And they don't just all of a sudden to say, well, we're
going to indict something over here. It's got nothing to do
with what we're targeting. If they were indeed targeting.
Planned Parenthood. I think this was used as an excuse to I think
the douchebag is probably the prosecutor claims they were
going after the one
attorney or the Attorney General. state's attorney and
state attorney.
Yeah, state Attorney of Texas, the Texas guy, and now he's Oh,
oh, oh, oh, I didn't know this was gonna happen. That guy's a
fake. vote him out. A few dumb Texans think this might be the
Pelosi, let
me see. This is
why for every political
analysis that we see and including drop people in your
party, don't believe that the Democrats have a message that
can get the House of Representatives back. What
government shutdown. Why are these things not resonating with
the electorate and won't resonate? They just may not be?
First of all, we
need you to be messengers about what's actually going on here.
Hide from that.
We we have come forward with when our middle class
Jumpstarters
from us? Yeah, I did somewhere. I have a clip of her doing that.
That's a good clip.
There's a better one because it was the whole bill. I remember
specifically the Pelosi, Pelosi or Feinstein, but it was a bill
and then we talked you and I talked about it that you would
be eligible because you've written for a reputable
organisation, they've paid you you've done it more than you
know, eight times a month or something. This is where it's
going.
Yeah, eventually it's gonna be a while I don't think they can get
away with it that easily. And I think this other thing will be
overturned on appeal. Oh.
But this isn't an indictment. It's not you don't need to
appeal an indictment.
Yeah, right. They have thrown out.
But with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and your
passion and saying good morning to you, John C with a C stands
for court indictment. Dvorak

It's I've been just moving to the personality from the drunk,
not drunk kind of thing. Okay. I'm pretty sure that I don't
know for a fact and I'm not accusing her of anything. But
Megan Kelly in the last show she did lol yesterday. I have a
hunch that she was because of the situation with Trump. Maybe
she was having a few. Really? Yes. And there was a number I
could have gotten a lot of different clips that may have
indicated this. But I do have one specific clip that I thought
really This is Megan in the bag or not in the bag question to
you.
Thanks for having me. This is It's fascinating to hear, you
know from somebody who actually knows names like Carson.
Let me listen again. I don't think so. John, I mean, listen,
it's fascinating to hear, you know, from somebody who actually
knows names like Carson,
she says is fascinating. Yeah,
I heard her say
it's fascinating to hear.
It's a solicitous is SLIS now I don't think slip now I think
she's on Vyvanse I think she's hyped. Is that how
she says hi dad dishes hype and she's she's but she's swearing a
lot. I think it's fine. And then she says I there are some women
that you can drink They're not like what? What's her name? That
one that we used to target? Oh, you mean Zandile Diane Sawyer.
And so right. She used to have a glass of wine on that said, Yes,
with a pill. With this video of it.
There's videos of it is my favourite.
But it's not really a new segment.
It's an old segment I said, Is it also a new personality? I'll
keep an eye out.
Hey, so we did have some big news which is almost not
discussed at all. It's not showing up on the face bag very
soon. And of course a lot of that has to do with the what the
news pays attention to but we had a we had a pretty big event
happen up there in Oregon.
Yeah, they gunned down those poor guys. Yeah,
and there's so first of all, what I'm waiting to hear is
finally they fucking kill them. Like I said, no shirt. No one's
doing that strange, isn't it? Everyone who said we should? We
should drone them we should go in with a SWAT team and kill
them. Not so funny now that somebody's dead. And where's the
outrage? Well, the outrage should be mainly because we
don't know exactly what happened.
And again, this guy down. So I have here closer he had his
hands in the air Hands up. Don't shoot, I guess is what he said
that somebody thought it wasn't funny. I have
a couple clips. First we have the I would say the more
official report. This comes from the soon to be defunct Al
Jazeera America. And the gentleman in question who was
killed LaVoy Finicum. But
what happened on Tuesday was according to eyewitnesses, was
that the two cars carrying these leaders of the group had been
stopped by FBI and State Police. On the road, one group was
surrendered peacefully. And the other one apparently gave just
let off and the authorities gave chase. After about a kilometre
or so the car wound up in a snowbank and according to one of
the members of the occupation group. The man who was killed
LaVoy Finicum, who was the de facto spokesman for the group,
just got out of the car and charged at the law enforcement
officers. He had previously said just the previous day that he
would not go peacefully, he said that the authorities want to
take us over and we will not let them. Now the leader of the
group is in custody right now. The question is who is leading
the group inside the compound now
I love how they say compound. It's it's gone from a shack to,
to just a building to a compound. Now it's a compound.
Here's a woman who claims that she was in the car that laboy
was driving. And here's her account a piece of her account,
the full audio was in the show notes seven, nine or four.no
agenda notes.com.
He said he put his handle do I know that? He was trying to talk
to them? If he would you want to get he was like, is like I don't
know if it's worth it. He's like, so he hands up the window.
And he said we have women in the car, at least let the women get
out. And he stuck his hand out and they shot at them. But they
missed or like he this time. They didn't hit him. They're
gonna shoot us. And so Ryan decided to get out of the car
trying to go talk to them. And so he gets out of the car and
that guy tried to, like talk to them. Divert, it was like, I'm
just gonna drive. I'm just going to talk to the chair. And he's
like, and he's like, sure either shoot me now. And they're just
wanting to put your during the class and put your hand up.
Finally, just so we all got down on the floorboard. And he took
off and then firing shots. They're shooting as a bunch of
time. And then they had a roadblock set up. And so he ran
into snowbank and they were like, rattling the car with
bullets. And then like when we crashed this thought for a
second he got out of the car, and he had his hands in the air.
He's like, he's like, he's like, just shoot me. You want to shoot
and they shot him dead. They shot him like right there. But
he was just walking with his hands in the air. I thought, I
swear to God, you're just walking with his hands in the
air and the shot up and they shut him down and then after he
was down the ground, shut up three more times. And then they
bombarded our vehicle with shoulder
that's a little different account. Yeah, yeah. And so much
for white privilege. That didn't work now, there is there are two
things and one is a throwback to two weeks ago a clip I didn't
play that didn't quite know what to do with it at the point. At
that point here is the sheriff. Now the Sheriff of course is,
you know, he sheriff is a community guys elected. He's
trying to make the everything work in his community. And the
FBI spoke and they said, We can't tell you anything. It's an
ongoing investigation or you understand we can't tell you who
got killed, how he got killed or what happened. Thanks, FBI.
Sounds doesn't sound like some of the other events where you
have information quite quickly. This is the sheriff speaking
was. This guy's shaken up?
Good morning, I'm Sheriff Dave Ward. I've been working on
peaceful resolution to this problem since November 5, when
several of the individuals arrested yesterday came into my
office. They had ultimatums that I couldn't meet. I'm here to
uphold the law. I'm disappointed that a traffic stop yesterday.
There was supposed to bring peaceful resolution to this
ended badly. Multiple agencies, law enforcement agencies put a
lot of work into doing, putting together the best tactical plan
they could to take these guys down peacefully, and find some
resolution to these issues that we're going through in our
community. It didn't have to happen. We all make choices in
life. Sometimes our choices go back to the occupation at the
refuge and the actions of some of the folks down there have
created a lot of stress in our community. It hasn't just been
isolated to the refuge. I think that's a point that gets missed
quite a bit. Some of these folks have spent a lot of time in town
trying to stir some issues within the community.
Okay, that triggered for me, a reminder about the fire chief in
town who quit his his position, he says this crap going on. That
is not okay. And he's lived in that community all his life and
you just heard the sheriff say, you know, there's been people up
here they've been here for a while, and I remembered what the
sheriff had said a little impromptu press conference the
other day a friend of mine, I'm sorry, the fire chief
poked me in the chest and said you need to find out what your
coverts are doing at the armoury. Because and
armoury is like a gun store where you buy ammo and stuff.
Right. The armoury?
No, an armoury is where the National Guard stores their
weapons.
I think in this case, they mean the armoury. So it's a gun shop
I think,
could be could be a gun shop named the armoury. That would
not be unusual.
That's what I think it is. Yeah.
And the Jetsons said, You need to find out what your coverts
are doing at the armoury. Because there's people that had
been at the armoury twice. They'd been turned into the
police. And I thought, My gosh, so I followed the people. And I
stopped them. And I followed them until they stopped and I
got out and I asked them who they were. They were dishonest
with me. They would not tell me what they were doing. I asked
him what they were doing in our armoury, what they were doing,
well, we're just two guys walk, you know, going through town,
looking for a place to have a business. And I said, Sir,
typically you don't have a business and an armoury. Then
they said, Well, we weren't even at the armoury. And I said, I
followed you from the army. Then they said, Well, yeah, we were
at the armoury. But really, we were looking at the deer,
there's a big shooter for point and not sure how often you shoot
deer in an armoury. But I asked him to please be truthful with
me because I was trying to be truthful with them, and that
there's too much fear in our community. push comes to shove
let's, let's just kind of get down to the end of it. I pursued
information. I took a picture of their vehicle. They ran the
licence plate. It came back to undercover FBI agent There you
go. John cover
FBI agents and their snooping around the armoury, which I
don't think it was a gun store. It seemed like it was the
armoury.
And they were under a Yeah, they've been this is a couple of
weeks back they got the clip, and this is several weeks back
when apparently this happened. No. Sounds like a John
provocateurs to me.
Yeah, troublemakers. Well, if you're going to talk about that,
let's go right to the Milwaukee situation.
Good idea six week cycle is what it looked like to me. Well,
I don't believe the six week cycles and play anymore but it's
definitely follows into that pattern.
I have the I have the I have the complaint, the criminal
complaint shall shall not surprise
you. Play the clip then you play the complaint. Okay,
breaking headlines out of Wisconsin. The FBI sting and a
suspect now under arrest saying they say he was planning to kill
dozens of Americans by locking doors at a temple and opening
fire. So let's get right to ABC senior justice correspondent
Pierre Thomas working this story tonight Forrest Pierre
David. Authorities say the suspect wanted to unleash a cold
blooded massacre and spark other attacks across the country.
According to the FBI, Sammy Mohammed Hamza, an American
citizen planned to go inside a Masonic Temple in Wisconsin,
locked the doors and gunned down 30 People Hamsi wanted a tour of
the temple just last week after visiting a firing range
allegedly thinking he would carry out the attack with two
other radicals using three machine guns with silencers.
Investigators say Hamza is caught on surveillance tape
saying when we go into a room, we will be killing everyone. The
FBI launched this investigation in September of last year,
David?
Yeah. Well, here's the official offence knowingly attempting to
provide material support and resources namely personnel to a
foreign terrorist organisation, namely the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant knowing that the organisation was a designated
terrorist organisation and that organisation had engaged in and
was engaging in terrorist activity and terrorism. And then
of course, the FBI once again just drag this guy along even
took them to the shooting range John, let's go target shooting
the undercover informant. Let's go target shooting for your for
your little pitch. They're going into the Masonic temple.
This is a new ABC kind of slanted and I think a lot of
people that it temple, implying Jewish Temple. Oh, very, very
good. I think the temple is a Masonic Hall.
Yeah, you gotta wonder what kind of messaging is there besides
how ABC spotted I don't know where my clip is from and see if
it's different became very, very evident
to the FBI that the individual named in this complaint was
planning a massacre at Masonic temple here in the City of
Milwaukee located in downtown Milwaukee, and that he had
originally planned to travel to the Middle East but had changed
his plans and decided to create the havoc here in the City of
Milwaukee. With the help of the FBI with some confidential
informants, they were able to gain the trust of this
individual to the point where several confidential informants
were accompanying him on a tour of the Masonic building, as well
as putting him in contact with some FBI agents, who were the
ones that were selling them machine guns to undercover once
he purchased those guns and based on many of the
conversations and many of the statements that he made, the FBI
then apprehended him and put him under arrest.
So sold them machine guns to them the firing range found a
notebook which contained his name and the name Islamic State
in Iraq and Levant al Qaeda in the Levant, the Syrian
resistance and the ISIL flag was drawn in his notebook. I hope
they never look at the show notes be will be incarcerated.
We have some guy boots on the ground in Milwaukee a kind of a
confidential guys works for. Yes. He says he can give us some
information. But he thought it was peculiar that this took
place it kind of because there's a I guess a democratic debate
coming up in Milwaukee?
No, I think the Republicans think that a Republican debate
coming up in the walk.
Yeah. And just thinks that there's something the whole
thing is quite fishy. So I'm not sure what he's going to
come well, I gave him some because, yeah, because he's kind
of deep into it. So I gave him some ideas of how we could
communicate safely.
But yeah, this was bullshit. But it's classic does the same same
pattern is some some poor schlub. They got a good look and
bad guy look and schlub this time and guy looks like a creep,
which is what you want. You don't want the problem they've
had in the past, and I think this is a correction they've
made because Comey has got something on the ball. They've
made it from you looked at these guys in the past, you go, Oh, my
God, that guy's a moron.
Yeah, right. Yep. Right, right. Right. Right. Right.
And then you go to this guy go, Oh, this guy's a terrorist. He
looks the part that casted the guy much better. So
congratulations to the FBI on that one. I think that's an
improvement.
And then probably, for me, the most depressing news, pun
intended. We've been following the war on crazy for quite a
long time. The whole idea and it was put into the well you hear
this in this clip actually here how the Affordable Care Act
known as Obamacare was a part of it. We have consistent talk of
we need to screen people for their mental hygiene.
Every clip you've got is my clip. It's unbelievable. We
didn't match up at all as as of as did covering something we
did, the other guy didn't cover. It's possible that what you're
going to discuss is different, but I don't think so.
Well, let's see. We're back now with important medical news
tonight about diagnosing depression an influential
passage today recommended screw
you have the NBC version. I don't have the by the way, I
want to mention something because we're doing three by
three. You got the NBC version. That's Lester. I want you to put
a stopwatch on this clip that you're going to play 152 Oh, my
God. What? Yeah,
it's long one.
What one minute? Yeah, one to two seconds as long. Okay, play.
We're back now with important medical news tonight about diet
and the reason why is I wanted Lester's opening on it because
he says something that doesn't necessarily come back in the
clip. We're back
now with important medical news tonight about diagnosing
depression, an influential panel today recommended screening
every adult for depression. And for the first time advise a
screening not only for new mothers but also for women, even
before they give birth.
Okay, this is important because the recommendation is all adults
but how do they string that up? Which is this is an outrageous
attack on women. It is abuse of women what is happening right
here. They want to screen all expectant and new mothers. Yeah,
for postpartum depression, which is a serious thing. It happens
it happens to many many women not all of them want to go to
eat their baby.
They have a bogus reason for this but of course they want
everybody to be screened so far theory they won't exist so they
can't buy guns.
Yes, that's the whole that is the My whole point and listen to
the clip how it was set up this
way. Let me go back to the bogus reason, the way the way they've
set this up. I don't know maybe
it's in the clip. Maybe it's in the clip. Okay. This
should be a joyous time for women. But today a government
panel of independent experts acknowledges it may not be and
recommends all women before and after birth be screened for
depression, something that affects one in seven moms.
Women want to have these conversations because they are
recognising themselves that something is amiss.
It's so prevalent and 2005 Brooke Shields shattered the
silence on the Today Show and now on the red carpet. This
month. Wow.
I've never heard a camera click as a little interim bit in it.
It's a good bit vis very nice today. She
should have been millions of these that three.
Well, no one who's Brooke Shields who's
that again? click click click and now on the red carpet this
month actress Hayden's Hannah's here
I'd feel if I was Brooke Shields on be pissed off.
Hey, you went to you went to barrage of click
Why do I only get like a couple of clicks? Click Click Okay,
move along.
That's that's completely wrong. How about this is what I would
do. I take my cameras. That's my cameras. Hello, Adam curry here.
Yes. Yes. You want to know something about my depression?
Okay.
And now on the red carpet. This month, actress Hayden Panettiere
telling a news she's proud to be a spokesperson after getting
help following the birth of her daughter.
That doesn't mean they're weak. It doesn't mean they're a bad
mom. Doesn't mean They're strange, and they can get help
if they need it. How do
you know what's just the common baby blues and what's
depression? One difference doctors say is the timeframe
baby blues usually happened within the first two weeks of
birth. If the severe anxiety lingers to the six week mark, it
could be more significant risk factors include history of
depression, prenatal anxiety, and child care stress.
Now this is this is I have a lot of questions about this. So what
they're now advocating is for doctors to ask questions, there
are certain questions that can determine if you have
depression.
Doctors say family members need to be aware of the issue as
well.
If you ask your loved one, do you feel like you want to harm
yourself or your baby? That is a question that is okay to ask.
This is new.
This is new what they're doing. And then I found a so the
government panel has recommended see what's the exact wordage or
this series of questions of surveys which I actually took
and maybe it might be kind of fun for you to take and I'll
share my my recommendation. And I answered, I answered
truthfully. Here let me just find it in my email telling you
because I when I did these questions, I came out with a
very interesting result. It's the m h a screening, Mental
Health America dotnet. And this is recommend this is the survey
recommended by this panel. And when you look at the survey,
it's actually run by Pfizer. Pfizer wrote
the survey. Well, they got the pills.
Yeah, but that's this is obviously a problem.
Yeah, well, they wrote the survey because they got the
pills. They want to get it to make it so no matter how you
fill out the survey, you get depression. You need pills.
Here's my results. Oh, you took it? I did. Okay. Your results
indicate you may be experiencing some symptoms of mild
depression. Oh, while your symptoms are not going away.
While your symptoms are not likely having a major impact on
your life, it is important to monitor them. Would you do that
for me? John, can you monitor me? I've been doing that these
results do not mean that you have depression but it may be
time to start a conversation with your doctor. Find the right
treatment plan and working with your doctor healthcare provider
or a support person and guns for you the depression symptoms
you're experiencing. They also indicate a different type of
mental health problem related to bipolar disorder. Oh man, I'm
fucked. We are we recommend you also take the screen for bipolar
disorder to find out if your symptoms may be more similar to
those experienced by people with bipolar disorder. People who
struggle with Yeah, we have pills Yes, your point is we have
pills Yes, we have pills and but once you take the screening once
you've once you've done that, it's it
oh yeah, your toes? You can't get a gun anymore.
Yeah, well, that's just the start that is just the start now
here's my question for you. And if you want to if you want to
take the test, it might be kind of fun to do
a check it out but to
to millennials that I know two of them have both received
diagnoses one oh, I can take Christina received a diagnosis
for Asperger's. So I'm pretty sure my daughter doesn't have
Asperger's. But okay,
she doesn't have any of this telltale signs. But okay, but
here's what I've done another millennial in my circle, I
know with this much that diagnosis, no guns.
Well, that's that will be the bottom line for sure. But more
interesting. In both cases, they did a CAT scan. And the doctor
said the cat scan prove they were on the autism spectrum, and
had an Christina's case had asked light Asperger's. I don't
believe I looked and I looked and I'm guessing I'm gonna have
to ask I'm gonna have to get down on my knees and ask the
brain professor. I don't think there is a cut and dry cat scan
that says that can definitively say oh, we're just looking at
the chemical composition of your brain you have autism?
I don't think so either.
Yet both of them had been convinced by their doctor that
the science prove they have this disorder. And I know we have
lots of doctors out with will know guns for sure. I know we
have lots of doctors out there who know about this stuff? I
need to know. Because the next thing they did just like this,
if you have mild depression, maybe bipolar two you should
take that screening question. And oh, and by the way, you know
we got some pills for you. You need treatment. This is beyond
outrageous. It's been here for a while
getting back to the deconstruction so everybody I've
come to a conclusion which I've I've noticed this because I've
been doing too much ABC coverage. ABC and the ABC also
had a package I'm sure the other networks did too. That went out
to the locals. So all of this was a major major push this
depression story everybody play the just a party and until you
get sick of it the long form and give me the time on this. What
is the time that shows up on the long form depression story local
ABC 134 Okay, yours was 151 50 Yep. All right, well play start
playing the 134 See the way they lead into
tonight there's a first of its kind call for doctors to
routinely screen moms to be in those who have already given
birth for depression. roughly 20% of all Americans suffer from
the disorder. But as ABC SEVEN NEWS REPORTER Lisa Amin Galatian
tells us many women that forget treatment.
A government task force suggest all primary care and OB GYN
start looking for the signs of depression. In pregnant and
postpartum women immediately
making this recommendation we're putting it up in the front and
saying, Listen, this is a diagnosis this is we need to
embrace it like anything else.
This isn't a diagnosis is based on questions about how you feel
this is outrageous now this by the way you don't want to play
anymore that clip but I think that anything needs to be
diagnosis the polyps in this in this poor reporters voice
I think I'd like to it's very short I'd like I'd like you to
take a test with me John. We have a number of you couldn't it
didn't
let me finish my point sorry. Now give me the time on
depression CBS
the 152 What? What I don't understand your question.
I got a clip it says depression. CBS I'm sorry.
Depression. CBS is 23 seconds.
That is what the standard for the way CBS does all its
stories. Everybody is done. This is like the rant I'm trying to
finish. I gotcha. Yeah. It's unbelievable that CBS is
compressed so you get more new I said this when I started the
three by three notice that right away the best network even
though the Trump haters, for news if you're going to watch
one station for news, it's CBS. This story under this depression
doesn't need to be beaten up for two minutes
unless it's brought to you by Pfizer, which the tests are
brought to you by Pfizer. The recommendation is pills by
Pfizer,
all of the network's getting money from Pfizer. I don't think
CBS good is more or less I just think that they're they just do
a better cut. They do better coverage better. Just better.
Joe, you're going to play this is what the whole this is the
way it should have been played by everybody.
Today, a medical advisory panel recommended that all pregnant
women and new mothers be screened for depression. This is
based on new evidence that suggests postpartum depression
often begins during pregnancy. Government researchers also
suggested that all adults men and women be screened. Because
nearly 7% of Americans suffer depression. Ah, that's just
about the number of people that kill themselves with a gun.
Anyway, short and sweet. get the point across. We're done. We
don't need the rest of it.
I do. You can choose depression screen alcohol or substance
abuse screen anxiety screen youth screen bipolar screen
parents screen. Bipolar screen bipolar screen, okay. Bipolar
screening, please answer each question to the best of your
ability. Has there ever been a period of time when you are not
yourself? Your usual self and you felt so good or hyper that
other people thought you were not your normal self? Or were so
hyper that you got into trouble? Yes or no?
Well, that's if you say yesterday, you're bipolar. It
says it
will say no, they'll say no then is it yes or no?

been a period of time when you were not your usual self? And
you were so irritable that you shouted at people or started
fights or arguments? Yes.

basketball, and you shoot it like a deep shot, you'd feel
real good about it. Yep. Yep.

cycle. I only get three hours sleep but I'm daylight out and
I'm in floating around. I started to move around. And the
family complains about this. Yeah. Oh, you know, you don't
get jetlag. I don't get jetlag. The
answer is yes. Has there ever been a period where you were
much more
talk this this this that I already can tell? This is not
going well for me? The need some drugs?
Well, remember, I only got a mild diagnosis. Is there gonna
be a period where you were much more talkative or spoke much
faster than usual? Yes, come on. Don't lie. Yes.
force everybody has that
ever been? Has there ever been a moment when when thoughts raced
through your head and you couldn't slow your mind down?
Skydiving Yes, that would happen.
Everyone appeared when you were so easily distract? I think
period not so let's say no. Because the problem has there
ever been a period when you were so easily distracted by things
around you that you had trouble concentrating or staying on
track? Yes, come on. You can't even write

energy than usual. When I was younger, yes. Has there been a
period when you were much more active or did more things than
usual? Now, I'm gonna say no, no, you know, has there ever
been a period when you were much more social or outgoing than
usual? For example, you telephone friends in the middle
of the night? God, no, no. Has there ever been a period when
you were much more interested in sex than usual? When I was
younger? Yeah. But I think it's more recent. I don't think No,

within the last. If the question was, were you proud of your
rights? Has there ever been a period of time when you are not?
Your usual self? And you are much more interested in sex than
usual? You kind of have to take the you are not your usual self
into account? I
guess. No, I can't say that's true. No.

of these ever happened during the same period of time? So the
ones so the ones you clicked yes. Was that
that's the one that's you. That's the gotcha question
there. Well, but let's
just be honest, and let's try not try to second guess the
survey. We know the point of the survey is to get drugs. So you
said irritable and shouted much more self confident, less sleep,
still energetic, much more talkative, easily distracted. I
don't have all those things at once.
Okay, that's good. So we'll say no. How much of a problem did
any of these cause you? No problem. minor problem. Moderate
problem, serious problem.

something's wrong.
You took the same test you but what did you answer differently?
Well, I didn't take the bipolar test. I took the depression
test.

sincere thank you. Thanks for providing such an outstanding
product week in and week out. Your deconstruction humour and
constant entertainment has made my trips from Modesto to Los
Angeles and back to see my smokin hot hot fiancee.

1100 bucks a night or a one time donation? No, no, I don't know
what we have to do to
Well, let me see I have him. I think I have him on. So I don't

thanks for the outstanding shows of late a recent discussion of
gun rights was a revelation to me. Key point is that a gun
ownership is a net natural right is not granted by the government
not even granted by the Constitution, but protected by
the Constitution. Yeah.
So when someone
Yes, keep up the good work, Sir Donald Barofsky of the something
fire bottles fireball
and I implore everyone to go read the bill of rights. Each
one says shall not be in fringed the right for the people to have
well armed militia to bear arms shall not be infringed. So if
anyone says your Second Amendment right you need to stop
them and say, No, the Second Amendment stops the government
from making any regulation. It shall not be infringed.

why do you don't skip over the nice little museum. I like
hearing about the nice little
nice little museum is got some really famous Slovenian
paintings that are remarkable and it's a very nice place but I
have to say this in the downtown area there is a pastry shop. If
you're in Ljubljana you gotta go to this pastry shop. And it's
the everybody knows about. It's a very famous, it's a
outrageous. I have had pastries all over the world. I'm not a
big pastry nut but I like pastries. I have never been to a
pastry shop like this. The pastries are outrageously
delicious.
Are they really like, lanky and
oh, it was everything they whatever kind you want it like
creamy ones that gooey ones that the custard he wants. I love the
creamy custard at this place would drive you crazy. I asked
about this in the locals told me that Slovenia was actually part
of the Austro Hungarian empire. And it was one of the places
where the pastry were kind of invented and perfected. And
because if you go next door and I hate to say this is I like
Croatia too, but you go to Croatia and say well what is
this? This is terrible stuff. It was not even the same and since
they can't even make a pastry. No offence. We don't have that

overjet you're too generous.
Well, I'll take back the porn stars and pot then how does that
sound?
Adams gonna read his man. Adams MoveIT Izzy. I was gonna read
his email. No agenda show.
Now this isn't you know, I did not get your note about whatever
we were going to do earlier today. People get that on
Sunday. But you did. You did copy me on a note that was sent
only to you. Which really made me mad.
Why? Well get plenty of notes are never sent to me plenty.
Lots
a made me mad about what he said about me behind my back. Oh,
what'd he say? Erin bear. I'll call him out. To short articles
less than 10 minutes of your time. I'd like to hear what
direction you choose to steer the conversation. It's more than
evident that the contrarian and masturbatory AC will do nothing
more than feign empathy at his performative best or simply
minimise the critique so as to avoid an honest sentiment for
any number of reasons, not the least of which will be pandering
to the predominantly white audience. Let's not get too
radical, unbiased here. We still have white privilege to uphold
here. Go ahead. Prove me wrong. JCD it's worth a few dollars.
And you know, I'm good for the donations my friend.
I don't even remember getting this note.
Yeah, you were you replied. See seeing me and your and this was
about the Oscars about Danny DeVito. What he said. And your
reply was, I'm hoping this bullshit publicity story is
dropped by us ASAP.
All right, it was the Oscar story. Yeah, but but moaning
about it. And I
didn't defend me. You didn't defend me. said horrible things
about me.
I didn't notice. Okay, I must arrange what I probably did. I
hate to say that I do this, I do this once in a while. Somebody
comes in with a suggestion. And it's a beat. It's an old horse.
They bring in an old dead horse the way I see it. And they asked
me if they if I want to buy this old horse.
Say and you say let me think about Hello horse. Let me have a
look at you.
I look at the teeth. I look at the smell a breath and I said
no, I this is an old beaten horse is a beaten dead, you
know, he's beaten this horse been beaten good for the day. I
don't want to deal with this horse. And I just send them a
note back for some unknown reason. I let you know about it.
That this this request was in there. Oh, I know what it was. I
remember remember, I put myself back in my mind. You can give me
that little sound that you make when I go back in time. Oh, yes.
I'm gonna go back a day, and I gotta set the machine what time
I'm gonna go back two days ago, here we go.
So I'm back there, and I get this note and his guys bitching.
And then I'm thinking is the dead horse. And so then I tell
him that little note that I sent is bullshit. We don't we
hopefully we won't talk about this anymore. Because it's
boring. It's a dead horse. And then I said to myself, so Adam
is not going to No, this is the way you feel that you think this
is a stupid topic that we should stop talking about. So I will
see see, I will move that note and yes, I have a copy of it.
Yeah.
And I liked that. But I was sure that you hadn't read that second
bit. And so I replied, Aaron, get over yourself. You probably
didn't even see that note, although I copied you on it. And
then he says and then he replies only to me now he's afraid, man
overboard. How does that happen? And I copy that piece about, you
know, I'm contrary and masturbatory. I don't do
anything but pander to the white privilege. And I say this is why
fuck you.
And you know what? I'm not I think about since I'm still back
in time. I'm back in that moment. Yes, I may have read
that. And I may have chuckled to myself and say,
well, let's come back to now. Okay, here we go.
I was get a little nauseous anyway, that's that's the story,
and I'm sticking to it. But here's his reply.
And here's what you were. It's cool to see that when the the SW
JS come out for you. The social justice warriors here didn't
even read. It didn't even read what he said. And it got them
all bent out of shape, aren't we the listeners overdue for an
epic takedown of social justice warriors. I know I'm waiting
with bated breath because my disdain for them is equal to
yours if not greater, though mine doesn't compel me to curse
them in the middle of a broadcast no less and the right
and then write it off as a byproduct of your neuro
diversity Tourette Syndrome. Value for value remains
compelling. I may continue to listen, but you certainly have
much to be desired. I'll just leave it there, as David Gregory
would say, unless you'd like to continue this contrarian to
step. Wow. And I said, you're full. You're full of shit
bigoted and chicken shit. You didn't include me on your
original email? Fuck off.
Oh, your dad, I think you've dropped yourself to a lower
level. I was busy. I don't get half the email that you get.
Adams gonna meet you, man. I do love doing it. I say, and I'm
just gonna read his email.
No, the thing I don't like. But the thing that sets me off. It's
not about what he thinks about, you know, how we speak or what
we think or even my neural diversity doesn't mind me. But
when you say I may donate, I'm gonna fuck off.
Fuck all. Yeah, that'd be You shouldn't do that. It's bad for
him.
I may don't know, don't please go away. Here's the thing that
he was talking about, though. Danny DeVito. I think he was in
Europe somewhere.
And it's unfortunate that the entire country and you know,
he's a racist country. And we so it's, this is one example of the
fact that even though some people, you know, given great
performances and movies, they weren't even thought about. So
it's like we are we're living in a in a country that
discriminates and has certain certain racial tendencies, which
racist tendencies. So sometimes it's manifested in things like
this is illuminated, but just generally speaking, we're
racist. We're a bunch of racist
we're a bunch of races here Murca What an idiot.
Oh my God. Now I feel crappy. Original Intent it was
completely ploughed over. I know, a snow plough but
in that regards it Hey, Danny DeVito you know, everybody's
racist one way or the other everybody like
know what unraced his country he can find like to
point out that the the Oscars aren't voted on by an
international cast of characters, not just by American
white people. See, the Brits are in there. They're the racist. We
all know that. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. So Bah, Bah, humbug.
I say Bah, humbug.
Bah humbug. Do you? Yeah, bah humbug. All right. What do we
got? But yeah, oh, wait, stop, stop. Oh, hold on a second.
Stop the show, please, everybody. But don't worry. If
we go along. We'll take the middle penalty. Hold on stop.
You we're going to talk about your new gear. Oh, yes. Yes.
Well, that would that would actually require tech news. And
you caught me off guard as usual. Tech News. Okay, here we
go. All right, tech news. Yeah, so I decided to do something
very expensive for me. And that was to not upgrade my current
2013 MacBook Air which runs the entire show. But to purchase a
new one, which was necessary for a number of reasons. One, the
iOS OS X os 10 version 11 really needs a little more power and
these newer MacBooks definitely have some more power.
But I want to wait, wait, stop. Since we're on tech news, yes,
yes. Good question. I go for it. Why does the new operating
system need more power that's a be written with more efficient
code over time as it develops. It's needed need actually less
power.
It's called planned obsolescence. So what they do is
they put in a whole lot more wiki Wookiee stuff that flies
and animations, which I tend to turn off immediately. But yeah,
it's doing a lot more it's how it's, it's try and load the
current iOS onto an iphone four even It'll be like molasses. So
they do that. But the core audio, which, which Apple has
it's based on a lot of open source work of course so is the
entire OS 10 operating system BSD Linux or Unix I should say.
They have done so much work and its core audio has been I think
in their product for like 25 years. And they really care
about people who deal with audio video, forget about it, you
might as well go off and use avid on which is also Mac based,
but they don't care that much the core audio stuff is so good.
That avid go Mac, I'm sorry, avid Mac.
Yeah, avid runs on Mac, I'm pretty sure I don't think they I
don't think it runs on Windows, I'm pretty sure it runs on a
Mac, but it has external hardware for the processing, you
may be able to run it on Windows, I don't know it. But
the love, the love that is in here from the core audio team
enabled me to put to cobble together so much digitally, then
virtual device drivers, which I've been using for as long as
I've been doing the show have been using something called
Sound flower, which is an open source, virtual device driver,
which is it works but it's been very, you know, sometimes the
transcoding of the bits gets all crappy, there's delays in how
long the audio runs through the system. All of that has now gone
I actually had been able to remove an external device from
the whole setup. So I had one USB device I needed Nora to give
you the your mix minus what goes back into Skype. All because
they they finally did this it's called things called how HHL
like some hardware acceleration something or other. And the open
source programme that I use to play the jingles fit beautifully
with the Universal Audio Device all through core audio. And
they've done a couple other things. Spotlight is
unbelievable the speed and how it organises the results. Now
that's not necessarily for looking for mp3 is I use a
different programme for that. But we use everyone use use this
thing called Quicksilver so this is a good show you how silos
work in a big companies work Quicksilver has been a launcher.
So you I pressed the option spacebar the launcher comes up
you type in the first couple of letters of any application or
document you want to open boom, it's there. Or you can tab down
the list and select something else they not doing that in
spotlight so Quiksilver no one needs that anymore. Of course
they like doing that ruining little businesses. Although I
don't know if that's a business. What it does is has to be seen
how well this is executed. And I think we've talked about before
the entire world of Google will be an internet and search will
all start to show up and spotlight is very impressive,
very impressive. Along with with their with their core audio
bits, everything else like handoff like you walk towards
your laptop with your iPhone and then the message you were
composing flips over to the screen screw that I don't want
any of that stuff turn all of that off. But this but the new
OS very very impressed in general.
Gotta sorry, I asked.
Well, the reason why is I have accomplished something with this
setup that it's been this is now our my 11th year and trying to
get an entire radio studio with all the bits and bobs into a
laptop with maybe one external box and I've done it and I'm
very proud and I will be making the video and having
distributing the settings so anybody can do this themselves.
Yeah, fair nuts.
Well, there's a lot of people who want to have a good show and
want
people to talk a big game.
Well, it's not easy. It's not easy. But there is no one who
has this so people
don't realise our some people don't realise or maybe everybody
doesn't realise it. Maybe a lot of people don't care, which is
my guess. But I'm thinking that very few people realise that
this show is done on the fly when this when we say goodbye at
the end, we're done and the show gets posted. There's no work
done after this. Oh,
the only thing is done. We put a little there's a
little bit a little open. Drop on there's a little ditty Yeah,
but that's the subject and when it comes to person has to wind
it down.
But he so here's and this still tech news. So if you're creating
a podcast and you're recording everything in Audacity, and then
you're going back with multiple tracks and putting on EQ and
compression, you're not doing it right. You're doing it wrong or
actually, it's too much work. And it'll sound much better if
you use the full it's like I have constructed cobbled
together with baling wire and scotch tape. A complete studio
for music show goes for interview shows toxify
there's absolutely no baling wire or scotch tape involved
Have you ever had to tape I
mean, have you have you have you ever had virtual Have you ever
tried to create links between applications virtual audio
streams inside the kernel? Yeah I'm sure
my faults a no brainer right everybody I use a Yahoo tubes.
They know they cancelled that. Oh pipes that was called pipes.
Wait, you know, it kills me but yeah, who they have these
interesting little pipes. It
was a cool was a great little thing. Yeah,
it was a little. It was cool. It was the greatest thing ever. And
people had developed all these pipes to do all kinds of crazy
things. And it was a great, great, great, great, i Great.
And then they just, they just just cancelled crap because they
don't know what they're doing.
No kidding. Poor Marissa. I liked her so much. You met her?
Yeah, I met her. You have two little snooty but
that's I like that. Oh, you like do you like to snooty types
ever? Here's a question I needed to ask you because it came up my
daughter who is now convinced and i The more I look at the
research, the more people I see doing it, adding a tablespoon of
white of cider apple cider vinegar to your water and
drinking it.
Yeah, I know a lot of people that do that. Is this
indeed something that can be beneficial to your health or
because you would know your your the dinner?
Personally, what do I think I think is bullcrap. But exactly.
I will refer people to one of crams cookbooks and you can look
him up very famous guy. He says it's a it's dangerous. Now the
other thing I've noticed that somebody, Jaycees wife was a
fanatic of this, Sabina, which is the Jays friend, she does
this. Jamie do it. I don't think she did admit it to me.
I wouldn't even admit it to you, Brian.
There's the key to this is you use one of these alive. Live
vinegars which you can make yourself with some good wine if
you if you're careful. And you know that don't let the as zylab
Linux as cedar back there get in there which is forms cellulose.
So she buys the stuff that brags and there's two of them. There's
a couple of brands that alive live. And and by the way, apple
cider vinegar. When you look at all the cedar factors out there
there's one for every kind of vinegar so wine vinegar has a
specific one and apple cider vinegar has a specific one and
malt vinegar that can you use on fish and chips has a specific
one. And those are the ones that contributed the flavours and
everything else. And that's the one just posted us. I am not
absolutely sure that these live apple cider vinegars are using
the right culture probably in fact, one of the things which I
have a bottle of it turned in it had his island next growing in
there, which is that vinegar mother that's that big rubbery
thing and it was inside the apple cider vinegar and do not
use that right if you ever see what that
that's, that's in the bottle. Yeah, small batch to
it shouldn't be in the bottle. It was close, then you're gonna
have heartburn for a very long time.
That's why I have it. You kidding me? No, well, how do I
get rid of the heartburn? Hmm.
Well, you're gonna have to wait about six to nine months.
Oh my god. Okay, so I've been having shitty heartburn ever
since I drank some of that because Christina said, oh, you
should do this. I do this all the time. Wow.
Yes, slightly toxic. And in fact, they've reclassified that
particular bacteria. It's not even a pure cedar backdoor any
more than they get some new name for it. Is this is not to be
used. If you ever see that stuff grown anywhere. just discard it
as fast as you can. And people use it they exchange it i This
is like this is why I'm writing the vinegar book. Never Gonna
finish I'm gonna have to put
you're gonna finish it you're gonna fund me now or you're
gonna finish it.
I'm going to finish it and the concision I got a new signage
for Chinese New Year. Every Chinese New Year comes when I go
to Oakland to go to the Chinese gang we go looking around I get
a right the right signage to put up in the house for Chinese New
Year and it always tells you to do something that the one eyed
the current signage I have said in Chinese it says whatever
projects you're starting, you're gonna finish and be successful.
So I will be I'll finish it this year will be the year good
stuff. Well, then I'll let you know how the heartburn Oh,
okay, here's what you had to do with that particular heartburn
that comes from that's. It's funny. This is not funny. It is
funny to me not funny to me. It's since we've been working
together. I talked about vinegar all the time and I bitch about
that culture.
I was weak. It was a weak moment. My kids like your dad,
this is good feeling whatever.
Yeah, it's good for you. Yeah. Pepto. bismol. Pepto. Okay, take
the little pills take one every night. And oh, God, during the
day five or bust the six to nine months.
I just got a couple of notes here from void zero. You know,
his, his girlfriend, mother of it. They have his child. She's a
therapist. And she says this is total crap that they can
determine autism by a CAT scan total crap. So that's one piece
of feedback, but I believe her.
I believe her. I believe her for sure. It doesn't make sense.
No. But the kids are falling for it. Like, oh, okay, yeah, I need
this money Wellbutrin or whatever, or Prozac or you don't
need it. Vyvanse. No, this is what this is what they prescribe
for you. No kidding. Yeah. I think you saw this note, but in
case you didn't, I want to read a little bit of this because I
would like more feedback from our global producer, pool.
Anonymous. Producer, I felt my duty to report on multiple
topics of personal expertise in the past. That's how it works.
This is why we are the best podcast in the universe. We had
the experts and we listened to the experts. And don't pretend
that we know more.
We also we are very modern. This is what the mod, this is where
everything's going. Were we and the audience are one.
Absolutely. That's what people like like NPR and PBS don't get?
No. I'm currently a slave of the health industry as well as a big
foundation. I heard you bring up in Oh, a few times. I feel the
need to comment. I worked as an OSHA oceanographer for a local
university a while back. And oh, a the National Oceanic
Atmospheric agency. Administration was our main
competitor stration, I think was our main competitor and also a
valuable resource. There's a limited amount of money that is
offered every year and these are the people who you know who
measure the global warming just so that's what I should preface
this with. So know these, even though there's questionable or
questions about the the numbers of they fudged them doesn't
matter. Everyone is all in President that know that you can
argue with Noah. So he continues there's a limited amount of
money that is offered every year for oceanographic oceanographic
research and NOAA is earmarked for a lot of it whatever scraps
are left up for the up for grabs to the rest, mostly universities
who have a similar agenda read climate change. Many times no US
ships are in an area that is of importance to a university lab,
and they would let us aboard to perform a parallel test. The
crew on these ships were frequently totally I'm reading
verbatim totally fucking nuts. Many were career and oh a seaman
pun intended, and would happily kill a new captain or superior
to maintain the status quo. The crews were often incestuous
literally, or were easily convinced into overtly perverted
sexual acts. I think US Navy minus any training or oversight.
They also had great vessels with world class chefs and
housekeeping crew. Unfortunately, the upper
management tends to be not so great. And he said you should
really look into this. And men there's there was a huge scandal
a couple of years ago that you and I missed, they bought this
this boat up in the Seattle area and was uh, I think they paid
like a quarter three quarter million dollars for it. And they
were having sex parties and having family and friends and
using a credit card to fill it up for $40,000 worth of gas.
This no outfit is it he says, Please look into and ridicule
this organisation. This is where part of the untold trillions of
the national budget ends up to damn shame is the first thing to
tell you when you get on a good research boat is rule number
one. This about video he sent where the NOAA crew were jumping
off the side of the boat and then a shark grabbed onto one of
them. And yeah, of course they never should have been off the
boat in the first place. But if you go back and look at just
look at an OA party boat just searched on that visit. This is
a pretty corrupt organisation.
And I had no fun organisation Well yeah,
I mean you get to go to these cool places you know I'm sure
they get to go to Paris parties all parties were in the wrong
business.
No kidding. No agenda sex parties.
List is no good. barely have a meetup.
Oh, yes, there are please go to meetup.com/and
Somebody just sent a nasty note in about I went There and there
was nothing. Yeah,
but I don't think he was looking in the right place. Well, and
then you sent me a note, which I did receive, which I dove into
very deep. And I don't know if it's coincidental, or if maybe
it has to do with this two times in the past two weeks, once with
Uber, and then once when I was driving, the the GPS put me in a
whole different place, it was very confusing, especially if
one of the GPS silos went down, another one starts sending at
the wrong time, apparently was the same satellite. And the time
is important to these things. So
it was off by 38 microseconds. And what's interesting about
this is it actually deals with the theory of relativity,
because time moves faster, up in space, where we're at, what are
the sea satellites, they're pretty low, right? They're
20,000 feet, 9000 feet, they're three toys
that we fall in our sky.
Now, it's not 20,000 feet. But they move I think their time is
is like it's close to 38 or 40 microseconds faster than our
time here on Earth. And if you so they have to have an offset
sending the signal down. And by being I think was 13
microseconds off. That would and I did that calculation that
could put you in a different place on the map with a
deviation of three kilometres, which is about what happened to
me. And so a couple things one, what the hell happened and I
joined that stupid are you really on the time? Nuts
mailinglist.
time that's what
it's called is the time
now. They already did that to me. I'm not on the time nuts
mailing list. Well, I am
joined since I joined you should be
very interesting, all these these time corrections. But for
that to happen. We really need to evaluate that infrastructure.
Something's up.
I think so too. This is not this is not just something that was
to happen. Yeah,
this is like that crazy thing that happened with the air
traffic control in Europe and blank, which
is which is coming back. That story is coming back in relation
to mh 17 Yeah, it should. It's coming back while we disguise
people are talking about an Operation Northwoods to in
Europe.
Good. It's about time they caught up to our show.
Yeah. And on Sunday, I'll have a an overview of what's happened.
What happened in Sweden, we got migrants killing people, people
go into jail because they beat a migrant up who was beating them
up. It's crazy.
Oh, there's a lot of crazy stuff going this route. The Swedes are
going to send a bunch of guys back. I want to mention that the
Germany's not landlocked, which is a mistake I made on the show.
No, no,
it was a mistake I made and I didn't use me. I didn't say
landline. No, I made I said, Well, maybe you made it but I
said they have no beaches. That's true. It's not
landlocked, but there's no good beach up north there. Where you
where they have some anyway,
Thomas hit Haller in Vienna told me
he's right. He's right. He's right. I think I said they have
no beaches, or what I was thinking.
I don't say you did it. Maybe I said
they had no beaches. And you said landlocked and I should
have said, No, Your Honour. I
think that's the way the conversation went. You know, I
really don't care. Who else was we said it was landlocked and
it's not. Now we should know better? Yeah, which I should for
sure. By the way we do have a Mennonite. Look at these notes.
These notes are great. Brad. Brad longenecker is a Mennonite
Mennonite. Yeah, he
says he is what is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania is like an Amish.
One of the Amish offshoots. Well, that's our original Amish.
I sound like, again, I'd say it's dug in on my ass.
It's all right. Yeah, see, I have something I have. Well, go
ahead. Go ahead.
Well, do you want to do a because I was irked. Oh, let's
play the Oprah scam.
Oh, I don't know about this. You are taking note but we have
switched beats in some crazy way haven't we? You're getting CNN
you're doing Oprah what's the what's next the view you gotta
View Report for me next. I do
just a few words from Oprah can apparently boost a company's
profits.
I lost 26 pounds. And I have eaten bread every single day.
After Oprah Winfrey tweeted that message today about her success
on Weight Watchers. Shares in the diet company jumped more
than 20% closing at $13.29 a share. Oprah owns Weight
Watchers shares and that single tweet aren't her $12.5 million.
I'm way way way, way way. This legal Well, that doesn't sound
legal at
all. It's not legal. Let me let me into
let's read While we're in jail
along with Martha Stewart let's recall
just a few words from Oprah can apparently boost a company's
profits.
I lost 26 pounds, and I have eaten bread every single day.
After Oprah Winfrey tweeted that message today about her success
on Weight Watchers shares in the diet company jumped more than
20% closing at $13.29 A share Oprah owns weightwatchers shares
and that single tweet aren't her $12.5 million that is
100%
Illegal I far as I can tell
and the fact that she's sitting there at topping 200 something
pounds but she must be 250 pounds John she is I when I saw
it cuz I saw this Weight Watchers commercial they used to
be my client ended very badly with them by the way very badly.
Didn't did not because they're there their whole operation is a
scam it's not a scam it's you know shitty food with nothing in
it. It's cardboard. And they ship that to your you know, the
ship that off to you. If they have for a long time. They've
had Maria Osman who looks dynamite dynamite. And Oprah.
How am I looking? Generally? Yes, but she gained a little
weight and she lost away
and it doesn't bother me. You know, hopers weight doesn't
bother me either. But don't sit there like you're healthy woman.
Sorry, you're not. Does Wikipedia hold a current weight
for Oprah?
I don't know what Oprah's weight is. And I don't care. But I do
care about is native advertising.
Well, not just native advertising. I don't think you
can be a shareholder and then start
No, that's the only point that's what I'm wondering. I mean,
where's the SEC on this? It just seems egregious. This has
happened recently with some P Diddy or something. He pulled
some stuff.
Oh, it was a I think it was 50 cent
could have been 50 cent thing was 50 cent. It could have been
50 cent.
So not only does Wikipedia not have Oprah's height, but also
does not include her weight. I feel this is wrong.
Some jerk sent put a fudge that Wikipedia is there. I have
haters. And they went in and they said was five seven.
Very funny. That's not even. It's not even funny.
Not funny is insulting. So native advertising on ABC, ABC
News, and I'm going to stop ABC News. I'm gonna go move to CBS.
I'm not going to do all three but hold on
one second. John. Hold on one second. Hold on. Siri, how much
does Oprah weigh
checking okay,
I saw on this on the web for how much does they'll put away
now I'm gonna say it this series gone down Syria shed your Alexa
does more and more.
Yes, I know is like it's like series given up. Let's go on to
cheese five, six.
Right. Okay, what does it say? She's five, six and weighs over
200 pounds.
That's not very accurate. Oh, all right. So let's go to talk a
little bit just before we finish I'm a native couple of native
ads. One I was blown away with because most native ads on abc
and abc news are in the C Block second to the last block at the
end in the segment they have this little segment and they
slip these native ads and an example of that they're all
about 1415 seconds. This was I think their bite to fit the
second 15 second buys and they just play it up play the 15
second ABC native add
the new study about Trader Joe's and Whole Foods tonight homes
within a mile worth twice as much as the national median
within two years of a Trader Joe's opening home prices
surging 10% More than other neighbourhoods Stay tuned on
that one yeah,
go native ad right bad well, although
it said Trader Joe's and Whole Foods who are
headed he just wanted to balance the story a little bit make it
sound like you know it's a real story but then they PUMP PUMP
PUMP Trader Joe's All right now I have never seen I think I've
taken back I've probably seen a couple of these, but I've never
seen one so egregious. This is a native ad for Budweiser and they
played it in the D block but it wasn't always just the D block
it was the entire D block you can and it wasn't as though the
Superbowl is coming up where they're going to play this
advertising you're talking about that but that's on a CBS so this
is not for the Superbowl. It's just for it's a Budweiser. It's
got to be very expensive to play the entire D block out with a
kind of a cutesy public interest. You know, feel good ad
Do you have do you have the intro and the outro to it?
I have everything this is the whole ad. Hit it. Alright
everybody,
we're coming back from commercial. We know what to do
and bring it
finding tonight here just in time for the Super Bowl A star
is born and the agents are already calling. Here's ABCs
David Wright
today from Budweiser I tantalise As ng T's could this young
Clydesdale born yesterday, at the star of their new Super
Bowl, he comes the king he comes the number one king of beers has
long since softened the 2013 a young fullname hope stole the
show. As we watched her grow up, take her place in the team, and
then spot her first love in the crowd. Wow, heartwarming
reunions so successful. Budweiser wet with a puppy next
time around the plotline. A stray dog on the fringes of the
Clydesdales. Warm Springs Ranch makes new friends who in his
moment of need, scare off the neighbourhood bullies. What's in
store for the fall? Tweet from Anheuser Busch simply says meet
Mac. What Mac has to do with beer or football? That's another
question. David Wright, ABC News New York.
Max cute. Hard to beat the puppy last year. Thanks for watching
here on a Wednesday night. I'm David Muir. I hope to see you
right back here tomorrow night. Until then. Good night.
Everybody. Good job. Good job see about it.
How is this news? Well, I can see if this was Advertising Age,
it would make some sense. I can
tell you, I build budweiser.com and Bud light.com in 1996 This
is just to pile on that it's an ad. But their entire strategy is
their history. The Clydesdales the history of their ads, it's
all a part of their their entire messaging. It's really what they
use consistently tradition, you know, great old values, St.
Louis values, I guess somehow
tasteless beer,
rice beer, you know when? So we went there and we met with the
brew Meister and we've you know, we got a bunch of assets digital
assets to digitise and not just assets, we had to digitise
everything right near the St. Louis brewery, which is still
kind of home base. It's where Woody and Grinder woody being
the young Bush was a moron, the one who has the dead hooker in
his house, and then grinder was the old guy. There's a
nicknames. But so after work the oh, let's go have a drink. And
there's this one bar right across from this industrial
terrain. There's one bar and go in and I was with Blum at the
time and was sitting down with Bob Bob McCauley, who was he had
to say had a lot of vision for hiring us. And what do you want
to drink? Oh, I'd love a Scotch with soda. Yeah, as long as you
have Budweiser with that, that'll be okay. That's how they
think. You could not just drink anything you wanted in bliss.
You had a beer with it.
Well, yeah, push and push and push.
So yeah, good one. Yeah, that's native advertise what else? You
know what they paid for that. But that's a big native ad and I
just found it they got a new there's news to be reported.
This is not news.
You fully Well, here's news. Here's news from down under our
friends. I think this props up every year, but I might as well
highlight it.
Australia's leaders want to break up with the British Royal
Family. Good luck, all but one of a group of senior politicians
supporting a push to make one of their own the country's head of
state, but Sydney bureau chief Jane Wardell says it's not a
done deal just yet.
The majority of Australians are in favour of moving to a
republic and having an Australian head of state. The
recent polling shows 50 odd percent are in favour of such a
thing. However, there still are staunch monikers in Australia,
our former Prime Minister Tony Abbott being one of them. They
point out that there's not enough of a groundswell to
really push a debate right now.
A public petition has only gained around 4000 signatures
not exactly a landslide in a country of 20 million this big
hey we want to be a republic screwed screwed and Brits 4000
people oh I think it's australia day to do that every year
australia day they started talking about it Good luck with
that the Queen's your your your Ebro, Lord and it's gonna be
that way. Something happened in in the Senate, which I liked and
I was hoping maybe we get what's the congresswoman from Hawaii
who I liked so much. I don't know. Tabby. tablea Tabley
tablet the she's a veteran, super cute surfer ball against
Tampa loves forthright. That's no idea. Yeah, that's the one.
Although it's not. She should take a cue from Joni Ernest
Ernst. I think she's the Senator for for Iowa. She's a
Republican. It's Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard, Tulsi. She's,
she's a Democrat. So I would hope she would pick up on this
and use this line around this political season any of those
fighting against us have claimed that our efforts to defend and
protect life at all stages of development constitute a war on
women. I, I reject that. I reject that. Because I will
remind them that I am a woman and I have been to war. And let
me be clear that no war on women.
That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. I
like that. Take the war word.
She's a character. I'm surprised haven't slapped her down. She
cute. Is she cute? Yeah, I think so. She's good looking woman.
Joni Ernst. Oh, Joanie
Harris has very good luck. And she's actually kind of
borderline beautiful. Oh, yes. I
know who this is. She's done the rebuttal to hasn't she done the
rebuttal for the
maybe? She did it, wasn't she?
She's a she's a MILF. And she's a that's a MILF. That's No, no,
no, no, sorry. I take that back. She's a cougar. No, no, she
can't be a cougar.
She's only 45 coolers can
be 45 Oh, Cougar. No, no, no, no. Milk is 40 is 45 Cougar
kicks in after 55. And then after that when you're 65 you
have a major? Oh, well,
let me write this down.
You know who told me that? Some Cougar? Patricia? No. She said
she's a major. She says she's a major. Okay,
I stayed. Correct. This ism is now eliminated. I will write it
down serious.
It's this is what she said. She said I'm a major reason why you
enlisted. This is text message by the way. It's not it's not
like I'm ongoing conversations. Was it? Yeah, no, I'm a I'm a
major. Oh, what is what is it? Just no. 45 mil? 55. Cougar 65.
Major. I don't know what 75 is. And I didn't ask. Yeah, I
probably should. But I'm sure she will tell me. Eventually,
when she gets there. She'll probably know. She may have to
coin it. Now. I do have one last clip that want to play. It's
kind of an interesting, because again, like you said, we kind of
crossed over our cross paths today was like not we crossed
our streams crossed Payson. Yeah, streams crossed. So I'm on
CNN. I caught this package. There's this woman I miss you
miss. She's like an old timer. That's doing the packages. Oh, I
know. This is this is the she used to be a serious journalist.
Now the only give her the show business things.
But this is a wi Trump package. Yeah. And Trump and kids. It's
about kids who love Trump. And she she I don't know if she was
showbiz. But she's like, she's you can tell she's, she's,
wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Is this the the three boys? No, no. Okay. All
right. You know, so
you're not even following you. You're not even on your own beat
anymore. Yeah. This is Erin Burnett Show, by the way, which
you should be following religiously. So as they bring
this package in, and I have to say watching this package is
about kisor. It's got story. It is a fantastic package. This
woman should not be working for CNN, the package woman. She
shouldn't be on one of the networks but she's old. Is that
is that is that the actual job description? Package woman,
the package woman. She should be working for one of the big
networks. She is fat. This is a fantastic. I'm telling it's a
corny package. It's about a bunch of little girls mostly
giggling about how great Donald Trump is. And it's meant to
humiliate him. But it's fantastic. The package was I'm
watching this jaw dropped it's fantastic package.
A nine year old loses her mind at the thought of seeing some
very very very famous person who is it appears to me most
it was a reaction
by Jeanne most that's the one I'm talking about. She used to
be behind the desk. And now all she's allowed to do is little
cute tongue in cheek packages, but apparently she fits in
perfectly she
most.
It was a reaction best described as Trump tastic.
Guess what we're going to do Monday. We're going to see
Donald Trump in person in New Hampshire.
The prospect of seeing the Donald left nine year old Ava
lovely in tears. Donald Trump has given kids rides in his
chopper. They sing him Diddy's When a kid asked a good
question, you're going to build the wall. What's it going to be
made out of? Chocolate? Chocolate brought them on stage.
They're far from the stage when they can vote. Tell me why are
you upset?
What are they doing your brain wrote one called drag her
parents to the rally not the other way around. Mom and dad
hadn't even settled on a candidate. Outspoken Eva says
she likes outspoken Trump.
I was just like, freaking out. I was excited. Not to mention I
love his hair.
She goes over the sign her trump is number one poster. He even
wrote a number one on her hand. Just think four years ago, we're
making a fuss over a four year old for having a meltdown
because she was sick of politics and that's why you're crying.
It'll be over soon, Abby. And then there was the kid who had a
tantrum when Hillary announced she was running because he
thought it meant he couldn't. Upon watching nine year old
Eva's Video One person commented she may be one of Trump's more
mature supporters. And even the Donald's opponents I agree with
this.
We got a car she said it was like going to Disney
Genie most CNN, I love you to
put that in the category of things you cannot make up.
No, I put that in the category of things that our clip of the
day
I'm telling you saw that thing. You just go holy.
No, I gave you know I gave you a clip of the day. And because I
had this clip two weeks ago, we just didn't get to it. I knew it
would be good.
It was two weeks ago. I did they just ran it never
repeat. I have this. It's okay. It was still it was very funny.
It was fantastic. Yeah,
the little girl she is so cute.
Yeah, Jeannie most started in 1990 was CNN.
They're just too good for CNN.
You kidding me? All she does is this but she was dead
dead. Okay, I don't know if she did saying this. That's not a
lightweight piece. It's not important. It's not important to
say. But it was so well structured was he has a history
of this sort of thing with kids. They this it was just it was a
beautiful work. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't as though Yeah, okay, big
deal. Who gives a shit? It looks like a Donald Trump promotion.
And then of course I had all these one liners in there. All
these kids are crazy. And who what are they feeding them and
all this sort of thing. It was it was the package itself was so
high level professional. I'll
have to look into how much he does on the production.
I don't know she may have a producer and she or she may be
she may be just the spokes person she made you to be the
hacker that may be a writer. She may have a team I don't know.
But all I know is that this was a fantastic product.
I agree. I agree. But I don't think it was really that
negative towards Trump. Actually, I thought that
well they tried to balance it by having these one liners that
were thrown over the screen they'd have like a torn piece of
paper with some writing on it that look like it was from a
Twitter account or something it would say you know stuff like
did some more one of the more mature Trump supporters was
aligned I thought was hilarious. They actually every one of the
comment negative comments was funny. Yeah, laugh out loud.
I love I love it. I'd like to I love his hair perfect. I was
good. Things the media will not say. Boy,
you've been waiting for Korea and for
Senator Orrin Hatch as I was watching the C spans, took to
the to the stage and discuss something that the media will
not say you've heard it here on the show before not unimportant
of the living Co Op still in operation.
This is about the coops that were part of the Affordable Care
Act, a hit at all. Yeah, and the way this was supposed to advance
supposed to work is these were organisations who were selling
plans in the exchange, but only based on the exchange, and they
had full government backing for for their finances, and more
than half of them had failed and the actual numbers are a little
alarming.
Of the 11 Co Op still in operation. There is reason to
call their long term financial viability into question all but
two of them are losing money, not a single one of them had an
underwriting again through the third quarter of 2015. And as
costs generally can tenue moving into weaker financial
conditions. Several show signs of running out of money this
year, CMS has actually encouraged the co ops to cook
their books with some creative accounting. Last year, the
agency issued guidance allowing Co Op to apply surplus notes to
programme startup loans, which essentially allowed the coops to
record loans as assets in their financial filings. taxpayer has
been forced to foot the bill for the coop experiment to the tune
of $2.4 billion with a B in federal loans for 23 coops
around the country. And today, more than half of the coops have
failed, while the vast majority of the others are in poor
financial shape. As a result, hundreds of 1000s of Americans
have lost or will lose their health insurance. And taxpayers
are still on the hook.
couple trillion dollars billion dollar sorry, billion dollars.
Yeah, no,
this thing is the worst scam ever. Yeah, yeah, the insurance
companies don't like these little coops are taking business
away. And it turns out that instead of they're also got a
president who works for them. Hillary's the next one,
as it turns out, we needed 21 million people to be insured in
order for the system to work for enough people to be paying so
that other people could have have coverage. And only 13
million have signed up. This is a another epic failure. Yeah.
And what that means is premiums will go up again,
again and again and again going up. They just went up in
January. So
when you see the debates and see people talking about this great
health care, I'm sorry, it's not it's shitty insurance. Even the
health care isn't by
Bernie's got the right idea and so does Trump. You have to go to
single payer, and it's not that the Republican Republicans in
moaning Oh, single payer that's the worst that's government is
the government. Of course, we don't mind the government
running our military, but we can't have the government
running the medical. And again, there will be a lot of you know,
scams and all the rest of it because of that, but of course,
Medicaid or Medicare, everybody likes that, which is what Bernie
wants just make everyone Medicare, then you don't pay
anything. And yeah, you have to raise taxes, but you won't raise
taxes as much as people are paying in this bush bullshit
health care scams. And I you know, the scam is so obvious
what it is because these guys go before Congress and they
testify. You can go before Congress and testify. We only we
the insurance companies are doing the public affair, we only
take 2% We only make 2% profit. Yeah, and they maybe only make
2% profit, but by that by jacking up everything because of
the drug companies are in cahoots with them. So well, not
just
for the price, not just that, John, but there are only I think
two big holding companies who own all the hospitals,
of course, but the 2% of is a fine thing to say except to 2%
when they began was maybe 2% of a billion. Now it's 2% of 10
billion, right, which is a bigger number. I mean, the whole
thing is, is a pot is like a reverse Ponzi scheme, the public
is getting screwed. And we we've gone beyond the point of no
return. We have to go to single payer now. We can't go back. We
can't go back to the old ways because everything's all screwed
up by these insurance companies. They have to be shut down. Yeah,
single payer is what single payer the government says no,
we're not paying $500 for a prescription for a $2 pill.
We're just not gonna pay it.
You hope that's what you hope? You hope that's what the
government says.
The government is more likely to do it in the
face. And you got to say government, government,
government, whatever the
case is too late. Now we have to go to single parent and that's
the end and then Trump will do it and so will Sanders. Hillary
won't because she's in the pocket of insurance companies,
even though she denies it as you had on that other clip. Yeah. If
they're fighting me those insurance company people that
hate me.
All right. Well, unless you got another clip you want to play? I
think we should.
Well, I'm just gonna see how long you're gonna go. Since
we're way overdue. He didn't inform the affiliates. We're not
way over. We're not we're at 249. But I do have an end of
show thing. So I do have some stuff to do.
Well, let me see what I got left. Oh, I do have one thing.
There you go. i I missed one more. John. Come on. Give us one
more John,
was that he saved this clip. And one of the people out there you
should look this up and put in the show notes. There was a I
think I sent you a copy. There's a hit piece that ran in Vanity
Fair. That was a beautiful when I hit pieces go. This was a
fantastic hit piece on Donald Trump. And it was a there was a
guy who apparently had interviewed Trump, I don't know
15 years ago or longer for Playboy for the Playboy
interview. And he found Trump to be a boorish aihole And so he
writes his hit piece, which is mostly his anecdotes about, well
what a jerk Trump is. And it's very well written is very
professional and it's and it's a it's but it's a hit piece. And
there's this thing that Trump keeps bringing up and it brought
to mind this particular situation where Trump keeps
saying and defenders of Trump say this, well, Donald is going
to get the best people. He's going to get the best people for
Carl Icahn and icon. He's always been a drop in names. You're
gonna get these people in that pew, Tim Collins. So I, I was
thinking of when I worked for Halsey minor for a while. Yeah,
I was there.
I was there at the same time. Yes,
that's where we met. Yeah, the first one Halsey had this same
basic theory, he and every time I talked to him about something
he'd say, I say, who's gonna get to do the networking? He says,
Well, I did some research. I found the absolute best
networking guy. Fred's is the guy who wrote the protocols. And
by any
one of those, yeah, that's Silicon Valley speak. Yeah, we
have the number one guy,
but he had it the number one guy, okay. And so I'm thinking,
Trump has to have this sort of ilk. And I was thinking, well,
well, is there any proof that Trump is big? He's made a lot of
money. Is there any? Then I ran into this offbeat clip? And
there wasn't nobody chimed in about how interesting this was.
But this clip is about the Iowa the Iowa campaign about the
caucuses. You mean? Yeah. The caucuses. This clip is there's
not this clip, Doug Trump, Iowa ground game bases. When I heard
this clip, I said, Wow, this guy might actually be one of those
guys, who does. Who does hire the best?
I well. Huckabee is still running a very strong campaign.
Everybody? Well, we want to know, like what you've seen a
surge at the last minute,
you know, I think those that have the strongest on the ground
games are getting people from the home caucus. Absolutely. And
that's not just everybody at the top. There are people that are
at the bottom of these polls.
And that's a question about Donald Trump because he's had so
many Iowans show up at these events, but they're quite the
question was, does he have the ground gave the organisation to
get them to the caucuses? What say you,
I think, and here's the reason why. A lot of reasons. First of
all, that is a
Europeanism. I want to point out
that Riley does it. He's the one at Fox, who
does it what say you? That's Germanic for what's in here.
What's it Hey,
what do you find it offensive?
Yeah, it's a Nazi talk,
caucuses. What say you?
I think he does. And here's the reason with a couple of reasons.
First of all, I'm seeing signs of that. Obviously, they're not
perhaps as obvious as the signs I'm seeing with Carson or with
or with Ted Cruz. But Donald Trump's campaign manager is
Chuck lon or Chuck laden, his claim to fame is basically Rick
Santorum is victory in the eye because he knows that he's doing
absolutely I mean, he when you think of Chuck Lautner, you you
literally think of a ground game so he he's not I look, there's
no way he can be
the guy who had Santorum win
in Iowa, which was a huge surprise at the time. Yes. And
now he's working for Trump and now take into account that Trump
has got his goombazz on the ground. Hey, you don't like this
sign? Do you? This is the wrong sign you got in your you use
yard use yard is not good looking with this sign? We're
putting this sign in for you. Right, right. Any predictions?
Let's talk about predictions. John's hoping you weren't going
to ask. I was just going to ask, what are the only thing I'm
going to ask is ratings for the Fox News GOP debate tonight
songs Trump,
I think the ratings are going to be close to what they were with
Trump, and they're going to drop fast.
You need to drop off the first half hour, then it'll drop off
into nothing. Yeah, I agree. But already they were down to what
15 16 million on the last one down to 1515. So I'll
start off around 14, then go down to sub 10.
Yeah, I think that's good for and I'll say 14 down to six.
It's going to completely because everyone will watch for the
first few minutes, then they're gonna switch channels and watch
the Trump event on the other channels.
Well, in Iowa for sure if they even show him here. I don't
know. Oh,
are you kidding me? Everyone's gonna be live. CNN, MSNBC.
They're all going to be live at the Trump event. Come on. This
is television one on one. You're right. That's fine.
What is screw Fox.
We have a meeting, John. Let's see Fox has the debate tonight.
Trump is not participating is doing his own event. Should we
cover it? Okay, exactly. Yes, they'll
cover it.
But those of you within the sound of my voice who are
listening to this live on the programme. You don't have to
watch. We'll do that for you. That's the beauty of our deal.
We do that. heavy lifting heavy lifting for sure. All right,
exactly grown beats, beats. Yeah, CNN, oh, well you get out
of my beat.
I had to cover somebody's butt for BPM coming over to the
triple three, or whatever we call it.
Three by three. Branding. My friend is all about the brand.
Everybody. Enjoy the rest of your week. We will return the
debate tonight.
And we'll talk about this on Sunday when the fallout is and
then of course then Monday is the actual voting in Iowa which
will be I guess, interesting.
Coming to you from the skyscraper here in downtown
Austin the crackpot condo in the morning everybody my name is
Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I was doing something
earlier and I'm doing something now I'm not absolutely sure what
I'm talking about. I'm John C. Dvorak. We're
back on Sunday right here on no agenda while I'm dropping off
laughing This is what I'll say
occasional moments where user numbers is very interesting and
push them to the occasion of moments where there's a net that
you're not towards and that's an app that's carrying one of the
dead ends back
open you have to be that's one big hammer mostly bad bedrock
sand rocks. Rock but there's a lot
of soil and that soil in this physical siege mode and other
modes that you're sneaking up on other modes is that your answer
for people and district does indeed work the one of the
things that they will do in the kitchen is
that they'll send a scout 123 or four scouts out and district
district doesn't have a trick and district they find something
they go back and report back and go back and report back and go
back and report back next scene is in line with some of the
things
I recommend the middle bend these because then you can find
all the ones around you please leave them there I get
Bernie Sanders but here's what we have to concentrate on and
this president just will not do it we have to kill them off we
have to kill everyone in ISIS as many and as quickly as possible
