They're going nuts. Yeah, they're going nuts. Yeah,
they're going nuts. Yeah.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday February 11 2016 and time once again for you get
more nation media assassination Episode Seven, nine or eight.
This is no agenda. fact checking the
fantastical garden your reality and broadcasting live from the
capital the drone Star State Austin Tejas steamer returned
six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry, and from New Orleans Silicon Valley where the
El Nino has hitting hard with hot weather. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Levin Buzzkill.
I'm so glad we tested everything before the show because you came
in really low there. That's alright, I got your cranked. I
got your crane. Man. I got your cranked Kayo Well,
congratulations. Okay. Yeah, you. You were correct.
Oh, yes. Yes. I'm on the football game. Yeah.
Although I made two predictions and one of mine was correct as
well.
Okay, what was the prediction you made? That was correct.
Okay. Well, the incorrect prediction, of course, was that
the black man would be put down and lose, as in the black
quarterback Cam. So of course he would when I say with access to
the wins of Black Lives Matter, right. So what I said was there
will be controversy about Black Lives Matter. And by him there
was what was the halftime show?
Oh, you know, this is funny, because this terrible Halftime
Show, which I think was one of the worst. The whole
Superbowl is one of the worst shows that I've ever seen.
That's the way I felt.
And that when you're rooting for Denver, no, Doc did something
like No they just stunk but I mean,
I mean more like, like a television production. That's
where it really was bad. It was it it was the whole first half
it was it was not sparkly. The colours were muted. Gold is a
very hard colour to make work on television. Because if possible,
it was the 50th anniversary. So the gold on the field look like
greyish yellowish orange is poop. Yeah, it was poop didn't
look like it didn't look any good. And it did look much
better. The second half. Oh, excuse me. I counted three count
if we're not going to count the the teams coming on to the
field. Which I always like to think it's exciting. Yeah.
Usually two. Yeah. Usually two teams. Yes. No, but I counted
three only three times outside of the opening. Where we saw a
cheerleader. What are these people thinking?
I don't get it either. There was not
a single good cheerleader shot during the entire show. Just you
know, like a quick off. We saw something briefly. I
think there was a blink. Yeah, there was a blink shot just
being in
who was running that show over there. That is dumb.
I don't agree with that. They had no glamour shots. They they
had a couple guys crawling around looking for people in the
stands crying that you're they always do this. And
well, they think they put all of their television production time
into the halftime show, which is not unusual.
It's a crap show.
Well, before we get to the whole place, stay away before we get
to the half of halftime. I thought Lady Gaga was fantastic.
Everybody I love Lady Gaga and I'm I'm just getting to go like
where's the flag IQ the flag is
the money actually did the last line of the national anthem
twice.
She spent she went out of court she went up to the Florida let I
have to say very impressed.
She's She can sing. Girl can definitely sing. And yeah, that
was that was actually the highlight of
the whole it was it was all downhill from there. It really
was. And
well anyway, so this Beyonce thing was gifted with some
controversial song. I couldn't hear a word of it. I mean, I
can't hear it is poorly my if
you had listened to me before the show. I said, she remember
we talked about the she dropped her new single, she dropped her
new.
Yeah. And I listened to you. I remember dropping this.
And it was it was all it was all about Katrina and negros and
cops killing us. Yeah.
But just because she dropped us young doesn't mean I went out to
listen to it. And so then when she did this song, I didn't know
what she was singing. I couldn't hear it. Beauty. mumbles when
she sings I don't think she's that.
Now she's, she's a good singer. He's a good singer. Well, she
almost She almost fell on her ass though. During that dance.
Yes, whoa, that would happen. But I think there was a chink in
Bayes armour there for me.
I'm like, Oh, that would be the highlight of the show. I
have I have a quick bit of analysis of the Beyonce show
from this is of course from the show that matters. It doesn't
matter what you and I think jhandi were matters. What the
women think on the view. That's what matters in America. This is
actually the CNN, what's her name? Sunny Hostin, I think
hosted in Austin. She's seen and legal am analysts and she was a
guest on The View to discuss the Beyonce controversy he was being
sort of unapologetically socially conscious. And because
if you look at some of the tweets that were sent down her
mother had her fist up along with the with the dancers. And
they also had a sign that said, black lives matter. So I
actually was really impressed with it. I thought it was
extremely brave to have someone that's an A Lister. Such a huge
following and a platform to be socially conscious because the
bottom line is people don't want to talk about it. But we are in
the middle of a social justice crisis in our for me, when I saw
it, I was applauding because I thought,
yes, yes, yes. Yes. Be? Yes. Alright, contrarian view. This
is
her she was sitting there she's she says this. She was sitting
there watching this and applauding that she's, she's
sitting there. She's actually sitting there watching me and
then she's, she's clapping and applauding. She just meant that
figure it. No, I
think she really was doing it. Probably. Why not? The whole the
ladies journal and all women in the world love Beyonce. And I
will say, why? I don't know. I'm not sure exactly, but it was a
strong, strong female figure and I agree with Beyonce. If your
man hit it right? You take him to Red Lobster. That's what I'm
saying. I'm expecting some Red Lobster tonight.
So Red Lobster. This is so pathetic. Things are at Red
Lobster sales went up. 33% nationwide.
Yeah. Hello, can we have a magic number? Oh, wait. Could it be
perfect time for native advertising moment on NPR. Good
morning. I'm David Green.
I mean, why pay money for a Superbowl ad Red Lobster has
seen a spike in business thanks. It seems to be on sales new hit
formation, which he performed at halftime. In the song she takes
a guy to Red Lobster for dinner after they will listen to the
song but apparently many people are craving Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Red Lobster has seen a 33% boost in sales since the song dropped
the restaurant tweet. Beyonce. Well, thanks for one heck of a
week. Okay, we
got to see we this has I am now against this drop thing too.
This is irritating me
glad you're on board.
Oh my god. NPR since the song dropped. It dropped is that
going to be in the in in the dictionary now new we're new
meaning of the rock dropped it dropped. Then we have Sheriff
Clark you recall Sheriff Clark is the black sheriff who always
weighs in on all things black and white as
hard as black Sheriff
hardest black sheriff who I think had the right attitude
about the whole show. There's one more thing
I want to ask you about. Beyonce put out a new video music video.
Oh, sorry. Oh, she didn't say it right. She said the drop the
discount to say drop you have Beyonce dropped a new.
One more thing I want to ask you about Beyonce put out a new
video music video called formation. And it has been
interpreted to be Pross pro Black Lives Matter and
potentially looking at issues inside New Orleans as well. How
did you there are some sheriffs that reacted poorly to that they
didn't like it. They turn their backs to Beyonce during
Yeah, I should mention that. You know, the police law enforcement
agency community the LE A's were of course on the on the face
bags and on the Grahams and everywhere and the tweets saying
hey, we you know, it was 100 Car 100 Cops escorted her to the to
the stadium and now you're going to be all against us in a Super
Bowl
halftime show. What was your thought on the matter? Well, I
try not to overreact to these things and aren't getting this
thing any more play than it's already getting. Look musicians
have long used their their music, their trade to make
political statements in their music. We may not like it but I
don't want to make a huge deal about it. Them coming out
Beyonce and those black panther type uniforms. Would that be
acceptable if a band a white band came out in hoods and white
sheets in the same sort of fashion we would they would
bring in writing sheriffy appalled and outraged the Black
Panthers are a subversion I can just see some producer going huh
hey group in American America, I think she could have done a
better job but I think Bruno Mars was a better shot halftime
act anyway, I'm gonna watch him for the entire act.
It what I felt is this really made the white man look bad this
whole before this whole Superbowl before me. Chris
Martin. Chris Martin. Coldplay is already kind of seen as like,
the milk is toast guy you can imagine. You know, and then to
slip him in between Bruno Mars and Beyonce. It's just mean.
It's just mean.
I don't know why he did it.
He's Chris Martin.
Like a douche? Yeah. All right.
So you did nail the outcome of the game that was unexpected. I
personally felt that The ref one sets refs Well, once they use
their two challenges, it was like you have no challenges left
and then it was just boom boom, every every flag against again
or his alliance blackmails all against the black man. I'm
telling you, he was put down. He was put down.
The dollar refs D was it was like a Sheriff's Badge to make
it to the imagery that you better. Yeah. Well, I said
people so how do you have these guys went into their games
fixed? We didn't know in this. Just look, I would tell
everybody I said all the time. Tell everybody go on Google. And
look up. Bubba Smith. Super Bowl fixed. Those are the words and
then you can read all you want and it goes on and on forever.
You want to tell us what button Super Bowl three. Bubba Smith
was a very famous defensive end. Very famous and big guy killed
Bubba kill I think it was in Michigan or Michigan State. Oh,
there used to yell kill Bubba killer. He's such a big kid in
college. And he'd go just ploughing through everything and
just knocking people over. And he was in Super Bowl three with
the losing team. And he says he swears the game was fixed
because it's super bowl three is when Joe Nemeth and the I'm not
you can stop me when you're sick of this. Joe, Joe Nemeth and the
New York Jets is only time they won a Super Bowl they came in
and Super Bowl three Super Bowl one and two were duds. That
Super Bowl one you could get a ticket 50 yard line one out of
50 or you get a good ticket at the Superbowl one for $12. So
the Superbowl wasn't going anywhere it was so the merger of
the NFL and the NFL. And they were trying to hit a jacket up.
And so what they did, going to Bubba Smith was they they made
the AFC team when they fixed it, they rigged the game. So the AFC
team would win to incite interest in the Super Bowl. So
that get more people to be interested in the game and go to
and pay big money to what we have today. 50 years later. And
so he writes this long thing He says they just somehow had our
plays, they were gonna do something. And next thing they
had their plays. He said that is what he says they seem to know
what our plays were.
I'm always wondering about the telecommunications as well. I
can see I think what's his face white guy, he had a he had a
headset in his in his helmet. All his
quarterbacks do okay, I would be a little worried about that.
You'd think that you could intercept those. They're
supposed to be encrypted or something. I don't know. I don't
know what the details I should go find out by waves. Yeah. But
I don't know what the details are. But that would be against
the rules.
Well, I can understand that. But alright. So it's fixed. Yes, of
course. It's fixed. We got it. I enjoyed it was awesome. But
also, you know, let's be honest. Peyton Manning. The guy's got
white privilege. I mean, what other Do you see any black
quarterback going up and saying Budweiser because I own the
distributor. I own that guy's got it. He's got to what does he
have one tell me Budweiser distributorship says he had
I don't know he's got more than one. I understand privilege,
man. He also he apparently owns over 30 franchises for Papa
John's Pizza Papa. John, Papa Murphy. Some Papa.
That's right guy. He
kissed on the lips.
Again, white privilege right there.
Yeah. Hey, am Newton prime makes a lot more money. He could buy
stuff too, if you wanted to. Sure. Yes. As you know, that's
our sports moment. We?
Well, there is were five times a year there was kind of a tie in
as everyone's all talking about. You know what happened Beyonce
and all this stuff. A lawsuit was filed against the city of
Ferguson, Missouri, by the Department of Justice. And I
decided, Oh, what the heck, maybe I should just go and see
what the lawsuit says. This kept me up until two in the morning
said this was not a good idea. Here's a quick little overview
about the Department of Justice bringing a federal civil rights
lawsuit against the city of Ferguson, Missouri. The
Department of
Justice is now suing the city of Ferguson, Missouri. Federal
authorities issued a withering report on police practices in
Ferguson after the police killing of Michael Brown.
Yesterday, the Ferguson City Council tried to amend an
agreement with the DOJ to overhaul the city's criminal
justice system. Andy
John just moments ago, we talked to a city spokesman of Ferguson
who said that they are disappointed but not surprised
by this lawsuit. Last night at a very noisy city council meeting,
a number of people stood up and demanded that the city council
accept the proposals to overhaul Ferguson's police department
from the Department of Justice. That's called a consent decree.
And in the end, the city council did indeed unanimous unanimously
They approved the consent decree. But then they said with
seven revisions, just seven they said in pages of proposals that
would lighten the financial burden of the city to hand out
these to overhaul the police department. The Justice
Department was none too pleased. Now, the city says it's trying
to make changes already. But the Department of Justice said it's
not coming quickly or thoroughly enough. The residents
of Ferguson has suffered the deprivation of their
constitutional rights, the rights guarantee to offices
Loretta Lynch, the country singer, when the Americans for
decades, they have waited decades for justice, they should
not be forced to wait any longer.
Okay, so I am
doing about Hillary. I'm gonna go on. All right, thanks.
So I thought I was okay. What is it what exactly is going on? So
I look at the lawsuit and the lawsuit. It's, it must be 150
different instances of Maine mainly a very obvious corrupt
system that we've seen many in many other places in the United
States, which is the debtor jail. And it happens because you
get these correctional facilities that are run by
correctional Corp, correctional Corporation of America.
Everybody's in on everybody's on the take, you know, you get a
small traffic or you get a traffic violation, which is
why we've talked we've spent a whole show almost talking about
the scams.
And this seems to be the pinnacle, knowing that the mayor
of Ferguson has been all in on privatisation. He has privatised
as much as he possibly could, throughout throughout his tenure
in Ferguson. So I'm reading this lawsuit. It's really really long
and being able to say, you know, you have to improve things. And
at the bottom of the lawsuit, there's a clause known as the
prayer for relief wishes. Me what the United States Justice
Department prays that the court colon declare that the defendant
the city of Ferguson has engaged in a pattern of or practice of
conduct that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or
immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or the laws
United States and then a couple of extra title for Title six.
The court order the defendant is offers agents and employees who
refrain from engaging in any of the predicate acts forming the
basis of the pattern or practice of conduct described herein. So
really, they're not asking for anything, but then I discovered
the consent decree. Wow, this is about 80 pages. And it reads,
well, I'll tell you what it reads like if I just read a
couple of them for you. Parties are determined in this
agreement, rather than costly and protracted. The litigation
most effective means to resolve all issues between DOJ and the
city. This agreement resolves all claims the United States
complaint filed in this case agreement also constitutes a
full and complete settlement of any no civil claim. So Ferguson,
if you can get through this consent decree, and you adhere
to it, then we'll drop everything against you. This
thing reads like an RFP, like, like a response to a request for
proposals for privatised police. I mean, they've got everything
in here training, just like if I would just count it up. I don't
know how many officers they have. But every offers of 40
hours of training a year, not just in, in firearm and
electronic weapons safety, which would be tasers. But in the
integration into communities, I mean, it's just pages and pages
of requirements that is going to cost 10s of millions of dollars.
Oh, please. Also notice that big push and you know, Ferguson has
to have body cameras, helmet cameras, car cameras, motorcycle
cameras, walking cameras, biking cameras, they have already
selected the vendor according to the consent decree. So we know
that's a big push. And
I have you don't remember that though, do you? I don't remember
what the vendor
now they say a vendor has been chosen. They don't say who the
vendor is. But there's really only one company that's kind of
corrupt. Well, the I think this John, if I read this properly,
again, it's about 80 pages. I just marked a couple of things
just to see if you can hear what oh, I will also be happy to
inform that you're the cops will be recording all the time. Even
if you walk up to somebody you'll you'll be recorded. They
do state nicely that individuals shall be permitted to record
officer activity, which of course has been a problem. Big
it's really it's it's training. And from what I understand
Justin Commons made, they're looking at 25 to $30 million to
implement this. John to me, this is a template for privatised
police department. So I don't know who's coming in. I know
though it was always been a lot of talk about doing this about
privatising.
I know in like Colorado and Wyoming there's been several
yeah But when you just have to read as in the show notes as
marked up, but if you really read this, like, you would have
to it's pretty much have to scrap the whole police
department and start over again. In fact, that was one of the
main things that the reason why they couldn't agree on the on
this document and why the lawsuit was ultimately filed,
because it did not state in it, that Ferguson had the right to
fire everybody and bring in a privatised or commercial
corporation to set up a new police department.
And I wonder if you know that what's what's the name of that
company? That's the prisons that Bill Gates invested in
the correctional quarterback Corporation of America. Yeah,
I wonder, you know, they know they must see the writing on the
wall with these new political candidates coming in. And
they're talking about reforming justice system and they must see
that this business of building and building and building
prisons is probably going to come to an end over the next 20
years and they have to think of some new ways to make revenue
and perhaps a company like that would be developing these
private police departments.
So I have no proof great idea no proof of this but it's feels
like this is the template here do not use electronic EC W's
which is an electronic controlled weapons. That's
tasers do not use ECW is in Drive stun mode. I had to look
this one up. These tasers have two modes. And one is the drive
stun mode which kind of amps up the electricity. And the cops
have just been only supposed to use that if someone's like out
completely insane PCP, uncontrollable now these guys
are using just when someone's in the back of the car and doesn't
want to get out here. Shut up slave tase you so I'm going to
be all over this. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to
drop that hurt on on who is going to be fulfilling? Yes,
I think that's a good that's what's happening.
And you'd have this all happen right about the same time as you
know, this is all taking place. And so it was distracted by a
whole bunch of things, including, you know, the
primaries and the Super Bowl and, and God knows what else.
So, eyes open on this. I'm I'm looking for Ferguson and you
there are two CCA facilities in Missouri, both south of
Ferguson. Oh, so I'm not going to lenient I'm looking at those
guys. I'm looking at those guys. But really, it's when you read
what they were doing, the whole place was corrupt what this debt
or prison results in. If you get pulled over for minor infraction
if you get written up. That's very unclear how you pay the
fine then you get double then they come and arrest you you sit
in jail because you can't pay the fine you don't you know it's
hard to get a bail bondsman
to get to get a buyer from your job so you'll never pay the
fine.
Yeah, you know, so yes, but this is not a black white on black.
This is asshole corporations. You know screwing with the
community who in this case is almost 70% Black. But it's
really just a commercial bunch of a holes ripping people off.
And you do we'll see if
people are voting for Bernie, whoever, wherever it comes
into privatise Ferguson, we'll see if they do any better.
We'll which brings us up to you said other distractions and the
big distraction. I thought the big distraction of the week
wasn't the Superbowl but the elections themselves. Okay. And
so I have, we have a couple of rundowns here. Let's start with
the ABC rundown of the Republican primary which I've
cut back edited just a little bit. You might find some edits
in here.
Would it be any speeding up stuff?
That's the way it is today for anyone who thought Trump was
just a reality star. New Hampshire was a reality check.
Trump pulverised his closest rival poll. Now he's already
predicting his next victory.
We are going now to South Carolina. We're gonna win in
South Carolina.
But in South Carolina Trump is already under attack by Ted
Cruz,
who today released this video.
The Trump action figure he pretends to be Republican, South
Carolina today. A big crowd for Ohio Governor John Kasich. He
was last night surprise second place finisher, running an
upbeat campaign
tonight. The light overcame the darkness of negative campaign.
Dave Kasich says he's ready to fight. Don't mess with me. Okay.
I'm gonna be a pin cushion or marshmallow.
But I'm also not going to spend my time trying to trash other
people. Perhaps the biggest disappointment
in New Hampshire was Marco Rubio fifth place, blaming his To beat
disaster.
Our disappointment tonight is not on you. It's on me. It's on
me. I did not. I did not do well on Saturday night. So listen to
this. That will never happen again. Video hadn't real
momentum.
Joe Biden is ready to Thawne ABC News debate and
let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Brock
Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what
he's doing. minutes later, let's dispel with this fiction that
Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. Nice had a job.
Very professional. So I get the biggest kick out of this asshole
case. EJ, who says
Why do you call him Why do you call him an asshole?
Did you didn't you read the libertarian so libertarian SES
and ASOs. Well, I'm all in
okay. I gotcha. Just making sure you're toeing the party line J
he he said the Ceci da well here's a good example why is an
asshole listen to this? On that clip he says I'm not here to
trash other people. You also talk shoulders lip sticking out
in a funny way. I don't know how you can do that talks just for
Yeah. And he which is annoying, if you remember and I was just
didn't have the time to go find it. But if you remember the
first Republican debate when Megan Kelly was giving it to
Trump, all he did over there in the corner at the end was rag on
Trump for being unqualified for being a jerk for being a
loudmouth. I mean, he Vitor was will be in the Daily News in New
York. So what's he talking about? He's just a phoney this
guy. Oh, okay. He's doomed well, anyway on where to the sewing
catch up we have
I do want to say that but I saw case six guy on the morning of
the primaries who kind of an older guy and I damn I remember
laughing out loud about it, but I forgot to clip it like a
moron. He was so clueless. He's saying things like well, you
know, these days it said the kids you know, they're they're
looking at other things and looking at tweets and they've
got these videos on the loop on a tape loop. I think he meant
vine, but he was on a tape loop. But I but he was very clear they
had a lot invested in whatever they were doing there. So for
him
they went all and they went all they put the most effort into
the of all the candidates
into the ground game. Whatever it's called he apparently
he was serving food and one of the you know, Parkin shops or
some guy was outright a control. Now there, I do want to play
this one little side clip, which is this is the that and so you
can see what the Europeans are thinking about how do they how
do they perceive this election. This is the door chavalla This
is just a tease from the beginning of one of their shows
is the Deutsche Avella entered, how they described the
candidates
on the road into the US presidential elections,
political outsiders triumph in New Hampshire, the self
proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders wins the Democratic
Party primary and for the Republicans. TV star Donald
Trump scores a decisive victory.
Oh, interesting how they only call him a TV star. That's kind
of cool. Yeah, he's a TV star. Well, Ronald Reagan was an
actor.
Well, to the I'm sure to the Europeans is exactly well, I
remember I remember living in Europe and hearing everyone said
he's an actor. This is crazy. How can you have a Hollywood guy
running the show? I remember that very, very well. I remember
it. Now. Do you want to focus on Democrats or Republicans? First?
I got a couple things too. I'm just thinking
I do have I have both parties. If you want to stay on the
Republicans for a minute, we sure move to the Democrats there
because I actually have two clips that I want to play for
sure. From democracy now from some woman called r&b artists.
And I think she used to be a political dude, let's do this.
Now. Let's do this now. Well, that she that's on the Democrats
that we have to switch to that. Okay,
we'll stay Republican. Yes. I have. Yeah, I have a couple
things. First of all, this came in this morning. You know, the
morning Joe's Scarborough and the elite daughter Brzezinski.
They are in the on the inside and then we've been playing
clips for a while now where they keep talking about all you know,
we all the reporters are talking about this. When are you going
to mention this? As if they love having I think they love having
some kind of control or power or whatever they think it is. So
when Scarborough talks I do listen, and this was about Rubio
and Christie and when his claim is interesting. So
there was a lot of there's not a talk about chris Christie
yesterday. Oh, he's mean he went after poor Marco, etc, etc, etc.
But people didn't get and I know you probably know the backstory.
Chris. He actually was having a great run. He was doing well in
town hall meetings. His numbers were going up and then Marco's
team started trashing him and ads and they just started
running nonstop ads and then the dark money came in and they
started trashing Chris Chris See with dark money ads. And so all
of the positive he was doing one time home meeting at a time just
got completely obliterated any jumped up, he was up at 789
Going higher than Bucha back down to four. And so it's I
would hope that the people commenting on Christie leaving
the racing, he was mean to Marco and that's why he lost. I would
hope that they were ignorant and not actually lying to the
readers and their viewers because if you're too ignorant
to know that's what happened in New Hampshire that it was Marcos
dirty money. Dark money is Marcos dark. Money. Guy chris
Christie down to the 4% where he started attacking Marco. Then
you shouldn't be covering politics. You're lying to your
people.
What do you think he means by dirty money? Dark money? What am
I missing? What am I missing? That he's talking about?
I have no idea. I didn't know that. The Who? I have no idea
dark money. Maybe he's talking about drug money. And then John
Florida. I mean, anything's possible. True.
Joe Klein, who is now see the editor of time, borders, he just
I don't think so he used He was a famous reason famous writer
who did I think he did the one of the couple of famous
political books.
Is he a Republican Democrat?
I think he's like, Well, I'm guessing he's Democrat.
I know. No, I don't think so. Okay, here was his thoughts on
Donald Trump. And Joe Klein is one of these guys in the
establishment that, you know, he gets outraged when he gets
outraged. I think people, some people tend to listen, I tend to
clip
this is a guy who doesn't know anything except to say evil
things about other people. He's,
he's talking about Trump.
I think it's yeah, that's, that's a Democrat. meme. Yeah.
Wait,
and it was a real victory for him. I
mean, came out of here
it is. from every side. It's a real victory for him.
But I like how Charlie is pushing back a little bit.
That's a that's a new, it isn't really
from every side. It's a real victory for him. But I think
that we in our business, have to be completely honest about this.
If you've if you vote for Trump, it means you're not paying
attention. These are low information voters. They are a
real threat of Democrats there.
Luckily, Joe Scarborough tapped into that I mean low information
voters Listen, this is a good exchange
nation voters, they are a real threat to this country.
The Trump supporters are low information voters and a real
threat to this country. These
are low information voters, they are a real threat to this
country. They are a real threat to our standing in the world.
And in
our time criticising voters right by saying that they are
low information voters I mean, these are American people who
have given the chance to bank you Charlie make a choice and
they made a choice whether we like it or not,
I'm sorry, I just I think that their anger is self indulgent.
And I think that this really it's a disaster for the
Republican Party. It's a disaster for the country. Things
aren't so bad here
ever you know that for the
guys rolling in dough that Joe Klein now you
think he's a Democrat, but then at the end he comes out with
this
I like Jeb Bush an awful lot he is one of the most substantive
people out there. Perhaps the the most substantive person out
there who
okay misdirection. Of course that's misdirection. That's all
the Democrats say they want some, they want the loser guy to
run against Hillary and bring the loser and bring the loser in
this so they're all No, he's that's to all Democrat. Target.
I do want to set you you're talking about Rubio, I do have a
clip. Okay. This was an outrageous to me, this was one
of the most outrageous things I've ever heard. This was on
ABC. This is the part of the rundown. I didn't put in the, in
the other clip in the clip. Yeah, they're going on and on
and on. And I mean, this was the longest the rundown on ABC of
which is the week or I and I think you've agreed, determined
that they're pro bush.
Yeah, of course, Disney, the Disney Bush, Florida, Florida,
Disney,
the Disney Bush connection in Florida. And Disney owns ABC, so
get that loop closed. So they do a long thing on the Republicans,
but then they do this little gimmick. This is the guy who is
the field reporter and he he says something at the beginning
of the small clip that he doesn't substantiate with the
clip itself. He's He's goading, goading, Rubio to attack Trump.
And I think of course, this again is George Bush or Jeb Bush
strategy, but but listen to listen to this clip in its
entirety.
Rubio tells me he's now ready to hit Donald Trump and let's face
it, you laid off Trump and my
campaign has largely been about avoiding those sorts of inner
Republican fights. Now,
if there's a policy difference, we'll talk about policy
differences, but are you gonna go after Donald Trump?
We're going to talk about policy differences
that look he is now the front runner. Okay. He is now clearly
the front runner for the Republican nomination.
Now at the beginning of this clip, he says he's going to hit
Donald Trump and he plays his clip where Rubio is back and
he's back out yet completely. This is a piece of crap
propaganda. That is inexcusable. The editors at ABC should not
let this clip play as it was scripted. It's misleading.
Because what you do this is a good example of how propaganda
works. What you do is you introduce a effect, which is
he's going to go after Donald Trump is going to hit Donald
Trump. He says specific. Well, let's
listen, Dan tells me he's now ready to hit Donald Trump.
And were in the clip does he actually say anything like that?
So what you do is you put a premise out there, let it let
the public suck that in because this is all linear, so you can't
go back and reread it. And you go through this as though he's
giving evidence when he's giving no evidence. All I can tell is
that he's goading he's goading Rubio, like getting into a
fight. This is unconscionable. Hello,
hello, ratings. We need ratings do whatever we
can know that the next the last event that ABC did their debate
was so that's the one with the guy standing in the hallway and
people bumping into each other. I mean, they suck at this.
Rationally, they should be embarrassed by the way further
from that last debate. That was the worst.
Rachel Maddow, who has I can just see it in her face. She's
so despises Brian Williams. And she has to sit there with him
and tossed back and forth and banter. And the whole you can
just sees like that lie.
I've never seen that today. In the same studio. Oh
my god. Oh, no, they were not in the studio. They were in their
makeshift studio on in Daniel. Oh.
She thinks she's the queen bee of NBC. Exactly.
And Brian thinks he's the queen bee of NBC of MSNBC. Yeah, this
is just, I think NBC. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is just as
temporary jail. He knows he's going to serve a sentence and
he'll be out, you know, the bastion of truth. But here's
what she thought about the Republican primary.
This is the start of it for Donald Trump. And the American
Republican Party will be in line with the National Front in
France and the UK Independence Party in Great Britain and these
other types of of hard right and European style nativist
movements that before now really have been on the French
nativist movements. Nice meme.
I like it, too.
It's good. I learned it for a while it's been used many times
apparently in our in our election past. nativist.
Yeah, it goes way back. It's like the Know Nothing Party. I
think they'll bring that one up to you while the weak party the
copperheads and the Know Nothing Party that will come into play.
Well, Biden
already brought that back. But you know, no one cares about him
right now. Right now. For the time being this this Yeah, the
time being. Um, I did like Trump's speech. When he won. I
don't know if you saw any of that was about
10 saw some of those short, about 1015 minutes, Sanders went
on for almost an hour.
Well, here is I figured just play these three short clips
from his from his victory speech. This is what gets people
riled up.
I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever
created. Remember that? Don't believe those phoney numbers
when you hear 4.9 and 5%? Unemployment? The numbers
probably 2829 as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42%
Do you think we'd have gatherings like this? If we had
if we had 5% unemployment? You really think we'd have these
gatherings forgetting about security, forgetting about ISIS,
which by the way, we're gonna knock the hell out of ISIS.
We're gonna knock the hell out. And it's gonna be done the right
way.
I liked that. He's that he's calling out right. I like that.
He's calling out the bogus jobs number. That's good.
Yeah, he is. Now I don't think he needs to exaggerate it,
because we look at it on the show. Every so often. 20 and 25%
is that's around 25, maybe a little less. It hasn't really
dropped much. And this is the number we derive it from Shadow
stats.com. The statistician John Williams in San Francisco has
been running this little revenue years after years. Yeah. And he
does. He looks at auctions. He looks at real inflation looks at
real job numbers, and He bases his unemployment on what you
would what the numbers were in. The way it was calculated in the
1930s is what he likes to calculate his on.
Yeah, and the different the discrepancy in numbers because
of the omission of the use of the what is it called the
participation rate?
If you're not participating in otherwise, you're not going into
the unemployment office and begging for help. In other
words, you've just sit at home and you've given up and you
maybe look for a job once in a while, but you're not really
participating in an official way, then you're not okay.
That's one that you're considered employed him.
Exactly. Here's Donald Trump on the Affordable Health Care Act.
Remember this
about Obamacare, people are forgetting. But now they're
miserable. Because it's going up 45% 35% 55% It's totally out of
control, probably sinks of its own volition in 2017. Unless the
Republicans give it another. I mean, what's going on? What's
going on the budget.
Alright, this is things people know and see in their own life.
So they,
you know, the media propagates this stuff. And people don't
make sense. It doesn't make any sense to them. I mean, because
you do affordable hair, a Health Care Act starts with the word
affordable. And everybody who has these insurance policies
which are, which never existed when I was a kid, oh, it's a
scam. It's an insurance scam. And it keeps going up and up and
up as part of a of a convoluted mechanism where they
Pharmaceuticals is jacked up prices up to insurance companies
do a deal with them. But they they have to jack everyone's
rates up to pay for these drugs. And it's one you know, services
and hospitals are going through the roof in which in the
hospitals are privately owned. This is an outrageous scam,
scam.
Third, and last, something that is also although was discussed a
lot in the preamble to New Hampshire, I saw a lot of
packages running on MSNBC and CNN, it really didn't come up
until Trump brought it up in his speech, we're going
to build the wall, it's going to be built. It's not even believe
it or not, it's not even a difficult thing to do. And by
the way, for the people of New Hampshire, where you have a
tremendous problem with heroin and drugs, you wouldn't even
believe it. You see this place and you said, so beautiful. You
have a tremendous problem. The first thing always that they
mentioned to me, Mr. Trump, please do something that drugs
the heroin, it's pouring in. And it's so cheap, because there's
so much of it. And the kids are getting stuck and other people
are getting stuck, we're going to end it, we're going to end
it, we're going to end it at the southern border, it's going to
be over and we're going to work and we're going to work really
hard to get those people that are so addicted off the habit,
we're going to work like hell to take care of the situation. It's
a huge problem in New Hampshire, it's a huge problem all over our
country. We're gonna have borders again, and we're gonna
work with you people to help you solve that very big problem, and
we'll get it done.
So it's one thing to say hi, I know you know, my, my cousin was
on drugs or whatever. It's another thing to first of all
equate it to dementia in the same breath as the wall. Yes,
very well, which to me sounds like yeah, we're going to
regulate it. Now the drugs will still come in and heroin is
coming in from Mexico. That's a you know, Mexico is this is why
it's so cheap. But of course, you can't really disassociate
the OxyContin and the legal drugs from this problem. But
yeah, this I think this is what people want to hear. I find it
nothing but understandable that people are falling in.
Love. They're going nuts. Yeah.
That's all I have on the Republicans.
Did you Okay, well, let's go to the Democrats. Okay, because
there's a couple of interesting aspects of this. This will be
the ABC rundown on on the primaries. Hillary versus
Bernie.
Meantime, on the Democratic side tonight, we are one on one with
Bernie Sanders after his major victory over Hillary Clinton by
22 points. Here in New York City today visiting Harlem and since
his victory last night, raising more than $5 million in just 24
hours. Secretary Clinton here in New York as well huddling with
her team now, because he thinks she has a lot of work to do,
especially among young voters. Tonight ABC Cecilia Vega asking
Bernie Sanders if the next battles in Nevada and South
Carolina were held tonight, could he beat Clinton? And
Cecilia got a very honest answer.
Today in Harlem a hero's welcome for Bernie Sanders. Hugs from
the Reverend Al Sharpton breakfast at the iconic soul
food restaurants Sylvia's
how it was so beautiful to see the Sharjah in the Jew hugging
together on the street. It was fabulous.
Sanders reaching out for African American support hoping to build
on the momentum from his big win
because of a huge voter turnout. And I say we want
Sanders now vowing to take his political revenue Pushing
forward. And now
it's on to Nevada, South Carolina and beyond.
It's interesting how Bernie has, I thought the huge thing was
Donald Trump. Everyone was attributing that to Trump. And
now Bernie is just kind of hijacked.
Bernie's not only stolen it, but he has taken it to the level
where when he says it, he knows what he's doing. If Trump says
it just says it. He doesn't say anything funny. And so Bernie
says it in a funny manner. Well, you're huge. And then the crowd
goes crazy. And they all yell you. So supposed to become he's
he's stolen the meme, and I think he's not going to be
attributed to him. But they both say it. It's pretty funny. It's
crazy. Yeah, huge. Is
this so many? There's so many. I have to save the whole Rubio
robot. No,
there's dirty tricks out there. The Rubio robot thing I have to
I I'm finding it hard to believe that a lot of these are
spontaneous. The Rubio robot when
the guy on I think it's the guy on Rubio's team, he has a guy
who has a company called them a Monix. Company. It's a it's a
company that is specialises in this kind of stuff. Dirty tricks
dirty Well, dirty, it's means it's memes, dirty tricks, memes,
drive tricks, everyone's I didn't think I didn't think it
was that funny. Really, you know, the real robot, the Rubio
robot, the Rubio robot, somebody
on Rubio's team do that?
No, but I mean, it's all the media was talking about the
route Rubio robot and like, everyone's repeating themselves,
it's all the same thing over and over again,
with Trump, for sure, everybody. Well, let's listen to the clips
that I think are the most interesting of all the clips
I've gathered. And this is a woman, r&b artist, and she came
on Democracy Now. And she was on for a long time. And out of her
I got two clips from her, because they're just so common
sense. She's a Democrat, feminist, old school feminist
who somehow has switched her way of thinking and she listened to
this start with this one. This is the
when I can hear the disdain in your voice when you describe Oh,
no, I
actually, these clips are fantastic. I thought you might
not like her. No, I actually I don't know whether I'd like her
or not. But I will have to say this that she This is Dee and
r&b artist and Intro The she is she really raps she's also a
talk show person. So she wraps things up rather nicely.
You have Senator Bernie Sanders trouncing Hillary Clinton 6238.
He swept in every category, young people, Independence
women, the only two categories he didn't sweep in, were senior
citizens and families that made more than $200,000 per year,
Arnie understand the significance of this Sanders
victory.
First of all, let's also remember that every newspaper in
the state, basically a major newspaper endorsed Hillary
Clinton, every major elected official endorsed Hillary
Clinton. This is an earth shaking moment, it basically
sends the message that the establishment is out of touch,
that the leaders are out of touch, that there is a sense of
frustration that people feel not only that they're not the herd
AMI, but that that the idea of incremental change, doesn't fix
it anymore. And Bernie's message of campaign finance reform is
not actually the term campaign finance reform. You know what it
is? It's code for Wall Street. That is the most important thing
you need to know. That's what that's about since the economic
meltdown of 2008. Americans are angry. both Donald Trump and
Bernie Sanders tapped into that anger. And not only do they tap
into the anger, but they realise who got bailed out. They did,
who is still running in place. They are what's happening with
trade deals. Our jobs are going overseas. It was an amazing
turnout, especially in places like the North Country of New
Hampshire, which are ya, unemployed, for the most part
are underemployed workers that Hillary Clinton used to get.
There was a place that was a very safe place. In fact, for
Republicans and conservatives. You saw enormous voter turnout
in those places with working people saying no establishment,
you haven't heard us. No party structures, you haven't heard
us. We are ready for the change that Bernie was talking about.
And I just think it not only did it resonate, but it had to
terrify the Democratic National Committee. They are out of touch
as well as their chosen leaders.
This is this real people should take notice of this because what
she just said is nailed it. It's and it's on both sides on both
the Republicans and the Democrats. That's why Bernie and
Trump have Have a certain kind of similarity, even though they
don't like to admit it. And this is a slam on on the elitist?
Yes, Debbie washer Wasserman Schultz. Yeah, who is the one
running the show and she's the one who's rigging it as we speak
to Hillary's already got something like 387. She has the
super delegates, she has all the super delegates which are
rigged Now the way I understood it, even though Bernie Sanders
had 60% of the vote in New Hampshire, and Hillary, you
know, 37% or whatever. She has 15 delegates, because she has
super delegates, and he only has 13. Is this true? That's what I
understand. No wonder people don't drop out of the process.
New Hampshire?
She wasn't in New Hampshire, you
won New Hampshire. That's that's the bottom line. If this isn't
going to trigger, and why isn't anyone talking about this? Why
is this not discussed?
grounded? People are talking about it, but it's all like
mumbling talk. It's the kind of thing that's going to ruin the
Democrat Party. If they think they're gonna get away with
this. Yeah, I think they're making a huge mistake, a huge
mistake. And that's,
I've noticed, I've noticed something I think we brought it
up a couple of weeks ago. Every single person who, every
Democrat, I know, they really want Hillary to win, but they
can't bring themselves to say they want Hillary to win. They
don't want Bernie. This is the old bots that I'm seeing here in
Austin, the old bots, and they, they resort to this money ball
type story, which is, well, you know, she's got this and she'll
have the super delegates there, and that guy will do this, and
then the Republicans will screw it up there, and then Raul will
win. And then they're playing Moneyball, you know, with with,
they have the delegates, and they'll be all that she's so
super smart, but they don't want to support her, or at least not
saying it out loud. Because you can't do that, because he's a
douchebag. And everybody knows it. So they resort to this long
diatribe of how the political process is how they rigged it so
that Hillary will win or the Democrats will win. It's very
bizarre.
Because well, good luck with that. I mean, she is getting
they're cheating in her favour. But that gets out eventually. If
you think about it, there's been two elections and she's already
had 380 to 42 or whatever. Yeah, it's outrageous. And I think if
anyone was a Democrat listening to this, they would they should
be ashamed of themselves if they're supporting this sort of
thing. And those old bots should too. Yeah, there's no reason for
that sort of this that what the public wants. They don't want to
Hillary they should she should we also
we also don't want money ball that it's that is so what is the
word? I'm looking for it but even seeing this with the super
delegates and how actually Hillary Clinton won New
Hampshire. You know, this disheartening to people they
don't understand.
Well, now Arnie Arneson has this is the second clip. Me Amy
brings up the feminists who came out. Gloria Steinem and yes,
yes, yes. Yeah. And Madeleine Albright.
Albrightsville place
in hell,
right. You're gonna go to hell, if you don't vote for Hillary is
all bright and the other one, she says, Well, it's a boys
club, vote for all the
all the girls will do. She knows worse. He knows where she said.
She actually apologised for it. Yeah, I said, the reason why the
young millennial girls are not going to Bernie is because
that's where the boys are. And they want to hang out with the
boys. Nice one glow.
Yeah, that was a good that if that didn't turn everyone into
Bernie voter. I don't know. What did she she I think there's this
woman artist and talks about being out of touch. I think
that's the theme. I think we can use that theme on this show for
the ride through the elections. Now this out of touch thing
because these guys are like deer and they have a doubt. This is
George Bernard Jeb Bush. I keep saying George Jeb Bush with that
stupid look on his face all the time and the dumb things he says
lose clap is just yeah, please clap. He's got he's his. He's
number one is so far out of touch. And it's so obvious to
the public. So let's listen to her discuss the women and
Hillary and why women should vote for Hillary. This is
Arneson.
So there are two things that I need to talk about. One, the
horrific thing that happened over the weekend with Gloria
Steinem, and Madeleine Albright, where they said stuff that was
just so incredibly offensive and incredibly foolish. And Amy, I
tweeted out as soon as I heard the comments by Steinem and
Albright, I said, Oh my god, Hillary Clinton is bringing the
worst out of the women I admire. That's what I tweeted. And more
important than that, it's not just the statements that were
made that somehow or say to women, you have an obligation to
vote for Hillary Clinton. This is your job. But I want to
remind everyone in the state of New Hampshire where Hillary
Clinton is running in the first primary, this is a state that
has elected women to every single major political office in
the state. Governor, Congress, Speaker of the House president
in the Senate, head of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, we have
seen the good, the bad and the ugly of women, we now have
experience with that. And that in some ways, has been
liberating. So as we were being chastised to vote for Hillary
Clinton, we now feel we can step back, we can say, You know what,
this is about the leader of the free world. This is about the
leader of this country. What is wrong with the leadership we've
elected in the past? Maybe it's time for new leadership, and new
leadership is not a function of gender.
And to be fair, Albright has said this many times. This is
one of her phrases that she uses this. There's a special place in
hell for women who don't support women. Yeah. It's not it's not
like a new thing. But they're wrong. That is not at all why
the millennials are going over to Bernie, this is completely
dumb, as witnessed by this on the bus report from a CNN
reporter.
I'm sitting here with grace, right? Yes. Grace, if you voted
before, no, it's my first time and you decide who you're gonna
vote for yet. Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders. So Tamron Hall
is just saying live on MSNBC. It is interest on MSNBC. I think
that a lot of young women are choosing Bernie Sanders over
Hillary Clinton. What Come on, man, what went into your what
went into your decision? I like his ideas of being a Democratic
socialist. Obviously, the free college aspect is awesome.
And free college aspect is awesome. That's it. Stop, say no
more
that. I think he's also more exciting. I think there's more
to it than just that. I have, although I say that would be
that you had like that other woman who said, Well, I was I
was caught between Hillary and Bernie. Yes, they would go with
Bernie because of the free college. Yeah. Now I want to
tell the millennials that listen to the show. We do have quite a
few. Yeah, I got free calls when I was a kid. Yeah. And
University of California, one of the top universities in the
world, it wasn't totally free was like $100, or some minor
pittance of a fee. And I will say this, if we could do it back
in back in the day we compact ever since I think even in the
30s and 40s and 50s at all that period was always inexpensive
for college. There were private schools and private schools you
paid for, but the state schools you didn't pay for, and it was
doable. Then what changed? Well, why can't we do it now? Why does
Hillary in a restaurant come out? As you're gonna break the
bank? There's no way we can do this. We did it before. We don't
have the gross national product that we that we didn't have the
gross national product we have today. We're huge, huge. Huge. I
can't get that right now. It's gonna catch us. I will. It's
sad. It is sad. Now it's, we could do it before why can't we
do it now? I'd like to tans and endow sounds vouch for him on
the healthcare too. And I'm not a Bernie, I'm not going for
Bernie Sanders. But I'm going to tell you this about the health
care. He says attack there was all the taxes will go up. If we
have single payer, the taxes will go up, but they won't go up
as much as these health care premiums. My wife is paying $500
a month. That's what I'm paying to. The taxes aren't gonna go up
five, you're not paying 6000 unnecessarily $6,000 a year or
more in taxes. It's ridiculous and it's going to keep going up.
It's gonna keep going up until you until you cry.
Until we just stop the scam. We have to stop this
scam a scam stop. It's a scam. It's just like when Enron was
running the power grid in California. So we had yes Ray
outs and brownouts and blackouts, and grey Davis the
governor who was who was actually thrown out of office
with a recall vote because he's so yeah, remember that? Yeah. He
was saying oh, well, this is the way it's going to have to be
from now on we have to be stuck with this because we have a big
state and there's a lot of overhead and we're gonna have
grave grey out some blackouts. And once the Enron scam was
busted because it was a fake deal. days, we haven't had a
blackout stance. What is it was and everybody was all the news
media, everybody. Well, further local papers. Oh, yeah. Oh, we
got to just get used to it. You got to get used. They were all
in I remember all they were everybody was all in when it was
so obviously bullshit.
There's something else that is is under if not, not reported at
all. When, you know, if you wind up with some bills leftover that
the insurance in cover, then you know, these are $50,000 a day
bills. And it's crazy. That turns out that the insurance
companies and hospitals are always in continuous negotiation
about the bill. And if there's something left over and you get
stuck with it, you don't have much relief, you're gonna have
to figure out how to pay for it. But the hospitals and medical
facilities continuously negotiate. And usually, the
insurance companies only wind up paying about 30% of every bill.
Did you know this? No. No idea. Yeah, they negotiate content
needlessly and they keep going around and around and around and
around. And then they just say, oh, okay, well 30 cents on the
dollar. So it was even worse because there's all this money
that you're paying for you're paying to cover that. And
they're just ultimately not even paying the full amount not even
half.
I'm sure we'll get the we have losses and outrageous scam. All
right. So I want
to go back to the previous episode where you had the clip
of Hillary Clinton, and we analyse this probably
incorrectly. And I heard I listened. I always listened back
to the show, because I miss lots of stuff you say, unfortunately,
because I'm just busy, you know, running the Titanic here. This
is about her Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street speeches just
to revisit like the last episode, there is this
attack that he is putting forth, which really comes down to, you
know, anybody who ever took donations or speaking fees from
any interest group has to be bought. And I just absolutely
reject that Senator. And I really don't think these kinds
of attacks by insinuation are worthy of you. And Enough is
enough. If you've got something to say, say it directly, but you
will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because
of any donation that I ever received.
Okay, so we properly identified that she did not mention the
speaking fees, only any donation which we were kind of talking
about the Clinton Foundation. But in this case, this is the
clip that has been played over and over again. And she she she
is avoiding the actual issue is I didn't change any vote or my
mind whatever it is based upon a donation. Yeah, but how about
the speaking feat? That's what she didn't answer, but it's
being kind of lumped in what are these? What are the what did she
say that could be so damning? We go back to the Morning Joe Show.
This is Let me see who is this guy? Because this is I'll just
call him a Democrat operative who was trying to smooth out
whatever is in these, whatever is in these these transcripts
which to some are available, and there has been some reporting on
it. You have heard and there's other reporters that we've
talked to that again,
all the inside dish all the inside info from the morning,
Joe,
actually, you're looking at the transcripts, she says one one
reporter said she sounds like a managing director for one of the
hedge fund
that was I talked to a CEO of financial firm who sat through
one of her paid speeches in 2014. Is that actually the
speech itself was just about important decisions. She'd had
to make a Secretary of State lot of it promoting women nothing
controversial. What would be problematic he said for was that
in her introductory remarks, she lavished praise on Wall Street
said, You guys are the pillar of our economy. The irony, the CEO
said was this is a crowd of Romney voters who are never
going to vote for Hillary Clinton. So wanting to empty
flattery that wasn't going to advance her cause with that
crowd.
Why did she do it? What was she trying to get out of that crowd?
Well, you know, when you're paid hundreds of 1000s of dollars to
show up and make a speech to people, I think that there's
just, you know, an impulse to offer some kind of praise of
your audience. Or, you know, something to suggest this is not
a financial
obligation. I'm sorry. I've done enough speeches to say that it's
not an impulse, it's an obligation, right?
Well, that's going to be the party line is well, she said
that just because I'm just trying to be nice to ya. Here's
the Republican strategist. I think he was with the Romney
campaign. Steve, right. I think his name is, and now you can see
what the Republicans are planning to do with any
transcripts that might surface. They have a really strong
team. Hey, you
know what I've always been wanting to ask you. Yeah, no,
have you on the show? I'm sorry, that was the wrong clip. Hold
on, hold on. Here is this is the one look at her
character defects through the prism of all the money taken in
from the Wall Street firms. And so now we're going to be going
into another chapter here, starting I suspect today,
demanding the release of the transcripts of the speech is
demanding the release of the question and answer from the
speeches, and they have disclosure issues like no
candidate ever had. You go back to the Romney campaign in 2012.
The issue of the release of his taxes John McCain's campaign in
2008 demands for release of his health records. There has never
been a candidate who has faced so many different calls for
disclosure of information that could be fatal if it becomes
public, across this wide, vast spectrum.
Okay, man, we'll
be on the lookout for that. It's not as though there's like, I
think the guy's exaggerate. Oh, yeah. He's gonna go back to that
clip. Now, there's something in that clip, but that is what
you're going to talk about actually, because I remember
when I made the clip, there was I had a little trouble with
this, but I didn't decide to deconstruct it. But she makes a
flub, Hillary does. Yeah, is a clip where she says if somebody
takes the speaker's fee, then they they have to be bought. I
just want you to play that again, it's at the very
beginning, okay,
there is this
attack that he is putting forth, which really comes down to, you
know, anybody who ever took donations or speaking fees from
any interest group has to be bought.
And i What is it at the sense, if you take money you has to be
bought? Or he has to be bought? They have they
she say has her half? Let me say he said, Hang on. Let me just
roll it back. I just want to hear exactly if she does she say
has or have S has to be bought. That's strange
fees from any interest group has to be bought,
your right has to be bought.
So what is this, this sentence doesn't even make any sense? I
mean, what was she trying to say? What she was this what she
wanted to say? And it has to be bought?
I don't think she should have brought that up at all.
I don't think so either. But she did. And she said it has to be
bought. Was it a message? Was it like, hey, if I'm going to take
your money, you can buy me, buddy, this is going to give a
little more than the $650,000. Is that the implication here?
They're low bottom text.
She's basically saying you low balled me. If you want to be
bought, you got to send me more.
Yes, this expense is not enough.
Meanwhile, the Hillary Clinton team it was interesting because
I sent a note to Jen Briony from congressional dish. Then I was
listening to her show. And I said, Ma'am, dude, she had the
she doesn't. She has producers and she had very much the value
for value format. But she uses the chip in a chip in to help
the show. I'm like, don't do that. That's what Hillary does.
And she was very cute. She said, Well, I wouldn't want to do
anything that Hillary knows that I Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's It's
rude. It diminishes the work. And Hillary's always about
chipping $1 chip it inch. I don't care.
Yeah, she been inundating me and this new guy. This new guy gets
it sends the notes out. This guy's name MOOC. I saw the move
mail. Yeah, MOOC mail. So MOOC comes and says they kicked our
ass in New Hampshire, because uh, you you didn't give us
enough money. Send $1 Yeah. CHIP.
CHIP in chip in chip in chip in. This isn't this is a
communications blunder. As far as I can get
her her message. I think that her her solicitation letters,
which come daily, sometimes two or three times a day from her.
From Chelsea, they all have the exact same. Here's the problems.
I'm going to just tell anybody. Young marketers out there. One.
They all have the exact same voice. Yeah, yes. Yes. All have
the exact same voice. And I think it's this MOOC guy whose
voice it is. It's one resource. Some they got one letter writer,
I get this guy. They don't make any adjustment for voice. They
don't sound like Hillary. They don't sound like anybody. They
sound like some guy telling you to send them $1 They're very
offensive. It's very offensive.
I agree. And whoever is running the ship there that is out of
control. There are so many different spokes holes for
Hillary who haven't seen the same one twice. Almost. This is
a Karen Finney. And they're all really uptight. And so Karen
Finney is getting raked over the coals over the remarks by
Steinem and Albright. And here's their response. This is a this
should be a top notch political campaign that's running. Here's
how they addressed that things
are getting quite interesting. Over the weekend, for example,
Gloria Steinem said younger women are supporting Clinton
because that's where the boys are. The Steinem later
apologised for that remark. But you also had former Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright she said, there's a special place in
hell for women who don't help each other. You know, younger
women don't like to be patronised. Are these comments
hurting? Well, look, both of
these women have been first in their careers. And obviously
they have strong feelings. I've heard former Secretary Albright
talk about that a number of times before they have very
strong feelings about it. But I just want you to point out I
mean, these are two women, obviously, they're supporting
Hillary. But, you know, we can't control what they say obviously,
you know,
you can disavow with me because they seem to be pitting the
older generation of women against the younger and that's
never a good thing.
Okay, so what would the curry Devorah Consulting Group
recommend in this case?
Well, first of all, let's before we do that, I want to wonder if
there was some text in neuro linguistic programming going on
with the way that was presented to the woman when she said They
were supporting Clinton because that's where the boys are.
Right? That's what that's what Steinem said.
No, she didn't. She said they were supporting Sanders.
Oh, shoot, I'm sorry. You're right. Oh, wow. Good catch.
So what was the point of Miss mixing that up? Was it on
purpose? Or was it just a flood? But it was a flood? How come?
Somebody didn't say some? You know,
it's Carol, CNN facebook.com/carol. CNN, I think
she just messed it up. I can't read too much into it. But what
would what would you recommend? Should they disavow it? How
would you what would the strategy be? Because I the
strategy, what they're doing is next, but I just wondered if you
had any thoughts?
Well, they haven't found a strategy for dealing with the
young millennials, at all women or men and the women thing has
got to have the disk concern because they were banking on
Hillary getting in on the female vote women. Yeah. Well, here's,
here's the strategy they took, frankly,
well, but But Carol, I would put this to you then I would like to
see the Senator Sanders campaign disavow comments that Ben
Jealous has been making since he endorsed Senator Sanders
specifically, I'm talking about Saturday in South Carolina,
horrendous comments and misinformation about Hillary
Clinton's record on criminal justice reform and the death
penalty without recognising or acknowledging that Senator
Sanders actually voted to expand the death penalty at the federal
level when he voted for the 1994 crime bill.
Who's this man jealous? Is that the position really
obscure? Here's Yeah, okay. It's a consulting company. We're
taking this on, I think the way you had I think the way the
spokes whole should have handled it was, well, these are p into
these people can't she did say that we can't control what
they're Yeah, yeah, we can't stop them from talking. Right.
But we wouldn't, we would like to tell them that this is not
helping. Oh, in other words, I run a guilt trip on these
meetings, very good, if they're genuine. And I would say this. I
hate to do it, but because the women won't do it, because they
won't do it against theirs, their fellow women. But if she
said, This is not helping, and I'm actually wondering what
they're what they're up to, because this is not helping. And
they should be I don't know, if they're even really supporting
her. This is all negative. This is not good for us. I don't even
know why Madeleine Albright doesn't come out and say
something because she has only to benefit if Hillary Clinton
becomes president because her consulting group there, which
runs the Balkans, the Baltics and god knows what else. They
only stand to gain tremendous sums of money and big, big
contracts and advisory roles.
Well, I mean, I think she's really thinks she hears that.
This again, takes us back to the out of touch theme, right? I
think the two women those two women are so out of touch. And
Albright in particular, she, she's a she's a multimillionaire
consultant, she's, you know, high up in the government. She
lives in Washington, DC and a fancy place or nearby. And she
is says this old adage, like you pointed out, she said it before,
it's nothing new with her. She brings it up again, in a
political context, because she does want Hillary to win because
he gave her you said the big contrast. But she's so stupid,
that she actually hurts the campaign. And this has to be
this. This is the message I think that the Clinton campaign
has to give to these so called supporters. You know, you're
hurting the campaign doing this sort of thing. You should be
thinking more in talking less Hell yeah, this is golden.
That'd be Debbie Wasserman Schultz his job. Well, I
know what Debbie Wasserman Schultz is going to be doing.
And I know what the Democrats are thinking and I gotta handle
Donald Trump. He's right. This is exactly what's going to
happen. This is Democrat operative Jennifer Granholm, I
have no idea why she's on television, but
they have a really strong team. But you know what I've always
been wanting to ask, you know, have you on the show? You were
born in Canada? I was. So what do you think of this? What do
you think of this whole Ted Cruz? I guess you weren't born
to to an American? My parents were legit Canadians, both of
them. Cruz, an American citizen? Well, you know, a natural born
American. I think he is I think if you're into a court, it would
say yes, but there is that question. So I in this sense, is
the only time I'll ever say I agree with Donald Trump in this
sense that I think he should get a declaratory judgement. I think
he should add. Yeah.
The only time I'll agree with Donald Trump, but I think Ted
Cruz should get a declaratory statement. No,
Trump was right. He was right. Yes.
I know this. Oh, yeah. He was right.
Granholm is a jerk if I'm not mistaken. Let me look her up on
let's take a look at the knowledge for a second. We need
to I have to make sure
she was on that was with Jake Tapper on the CNN
he's on a lot of stuff. She's She wants to be she's kind of
attractive enough for television. Yep. Like her and
she wants to be a television person. So first name is Jane.
Jennifer. Jennifer Okay, here it is. She's cute Canadian born
yeah she's she's got him she has the pixie look of a TV Babson so
she's kind of cute. Yeah, she was the 47th of the governor of
the state of Michigan, one of the people over Democrat totally
responsible for ruining Michigan in Michigan. She is like she is
the destructive force that ruin Michigan one of many perfect and
you know, she didn't talk about that much. And she kept
Christians from Berkeley, right? Oh, God explains it. But to
explain something. And yeah, that's her. And she's always she
shows up everywhere. She's always mouthing off. She's a
rock solid Democrat.
So amidst all of this, I already mentioned her I was listening to
the Congressional dish. And Brian, he did this did a an
episode, which was rather interesting. She covered all 50
states how to get on the ballot to run for Congress. It's a lot
easier than you think. Although not in California, but in Texas.
Yeah, it's very easy in most states. In Texas, you only need
500 votes. And to be an indie to run as an independent, and you
need to file 30 days after the run off, which I think is which
is May 6 here in in Texas. My district has district number 21,
which is what has been governed since 1987 by Lamar Smith, so
you don't really need a lot of money. And Jen, Jennifer's
premise was, hey, this is the internet. People should be able
to get elected by using the internet, maybe you shouldn't
need television commercials, etc, etc.
Yeah, well, my wife prove that wrong. But that's another story.
But I'm interested. I think you shouldn't be in fact, I would
recommend everybody I'm very
interested. I I'll tell you my thoughts, my full thoughts. Just
think about it campaign. Now. First of all, I really am not
looking for extra work. I don't want to all I want to do is
represent the people in my district. And if I guess I have
to go to Washington to vote, but think of all the elements we
have, we have the bet we have we have the best. Wait for it. We
have the best advisors. We have the air stream of consciousness
talk about your media vehicle right there to go through the
entire state and talk to all the constituents
not to go to the state. Yes, it goes through the district. They
have bui e Okay.
We will just continue to do the show as you saw we did we
discuss all the abstract number again 21 Lamar Smith, who was no
this is a legend. At the end the people running against him.
Morons this is like three people who have already registered to
run against them be colluding one Democrat, hopeless. Let me
see what are these guys names? Oh, this guy here MATT McCALL.
MATT McCALL is the first guy. And he tried last time and it
didn't make it. Yeah. And they all have the same websites the
same douchey stuff. Yeah, like blah, blah, blah. Hey, listen,
I'm I actually represent the people living in this district,
downtown Austin out towards the Dripping Springs. It's, it's
it's an interesting district. Because it kind of follows the
Google fibre path, which I think is good. I don't I wouldn't get
San Antonio. But why? I mean, I think I should just Don't you
think we should just do it? I'm just I mean, what do you mean?
Are you gonna run under independent? Just not a party
just an independent?
I think that's the way to go. Yeah.
I'm thinking we have we have people who are professional
organisers, professional writers, professional video
makers. I shouldn't really have to leave home. You won't win.
Thanks for your courage.
No, thanks for my courage.
You won't win by not no, the headline is, thanks
for your encouragement.
No, no, no, that was I was thanking you for your courage,
believe me.
When I'm dead, I don't think you should win. There's a good
number of things you are working. The problem is with
these local districts, these little parties, it's not even
Lamar Smith that's winning. There are machines in place.
mechanisms that are run by the parties that get out it's
certain X number of vote that you have to overcome, you have
to overcome. And those votes are a good portion of the combined
the Democrats and the Republicans. It's probably not
that many Democrats and the Republicans have been in that
long. But the machines account for so much of the vote, just
automatically, that you can't get enough votes to win even
though you might be the most popular person winning against
the machine is the problem. It's not beating Lamar.
Okay, I would think that we could If I don't say try some
out, we could try ourselves or we could try block. I think
you're going to,
here's what you can do. Okay? Let me give them encouragement
side. Oh, thank you Goodwin, but you're going to have to run two
or three times.
Doesn't matter to me. Okay. I mean, first of all, we need 500
votes. So if anybody I think that that's fine. If anyone
wants to help us game. Well, if anyone wants to help, then you
know and coordinate in Austin, you know, beleive go out and
I'll drive around, you know, we'll do whatever, we'll go get
the 500 votes. And you know, but we need slogans. We need handles
again, dismiss back. We have to look at him a little closer. And
don't worry, we'll find his gay connection. That's easy. Don't
worry. We'll find a Republican so yeah, we'll find we'll find
the gay boys. He's been bashing. Yeah. Okay, smashing, I should
say. And we'll find something on it. We'll find some dirt.
We went to Yale Southern Methodist think about it. He's a
he's an Episcopalian which means he's gonna get all the
Episcopal. I have an advantage. Have you become a Baptist? I
think you might have a shot at this. No, I'm not an elitist.
Episcopal.
I'm not going to change who I am. It's not going to happen.
No, no. But we have we have our producers are so much better
than these jabroni is running all this other stuff? And quite
honestly, I don't care. We just need to win on votes. That's
all. I think it's possible. The median age of the constituents
in district 21. Isn't the 34 to 54 range. That's really the
piano.
He's 68. And
you know, he No, no, he's 70. Something.
No, he's not. He's born in 1947. He's 68.
I'm sorry. I'm confused with someone else. Well, so he's,
he's young enough, I guess. But I'm younger. And yeah, got the
MTV thing going on. You're a good looking man looking guy got
a wholesome girlfriend.
It got you believe the flying saucers. I almost
choked on that one.
But what the girlfriends a wholesome, wholesome. Yeah,
you're wholesome. Yeah,
she is. She has great camera presence. You know, we'll look
dynamite. It'd be great.
She's photogenic. That's a plus. Yeah. She's no, she didn't look
good. He has a couple will look great. Yeah. And then out of
wedlock relationship in Texas that's gonna go over. So I'm
gonna get married.
You are you are confused about Texas, particularly
21. Texas. I'm confused about Austin, maybe?
Well, if you look at district 21, Dripping Springs all that
mean, that's all new people coming into the state?
You got a lot out you can do a lot with Dripping Springs. Yeah,
and there's a lot of money. They're not that I don't want
any money. I don't want to know why money shouldn't need any
money.
Okay. Well, I think you should do it. It's a good experience.
And it will give us more material for the show.
Well, this was my ultimate point. Could you could you
imagine if by some somehow, I was elected to Congress. And we
would just be discussing whatever the vote was, you know,
we do stuff like crazy stuff like read the bill. You know, we
we get everyone would pitch in it. We just do the show
basically is the same. We wouldn't change anything. Except
that to God, you have to go to Washington all the time. I don't
want Yes to vote. How many votes are there? There's 1000s, and
1000s and 1000s. They take
a lot of time off weekends and stuff like that. And you got a
budget for travel and you have a staff and you can do and you
could. The problem is they won't let you vote from your office in
Austin. What do you guys have an office in Austin besides their
house, and they go there just for campaign purposes, they
really don't spend that much because
I can skip a lot of the votes. A lot of those votes aren't aren't
aren't important than
the next guy comes in. Listen, this guy doesn't even vote.
Yeah, that's right. And I'll say yeah, that's right is dumb. It's
not important that communicator you can get away with that.
So are you in? Would you want to help run? Your campaign manager?
That's what I was looking. I had my first endorsement.
Campaign Manager tends to endorse the guys working with
Sure. Yeah. Well, this is an endorsement, you get you get
your first endorsement is Tina the keeper?
She said she would vote for me. Yeah,
you never know.
No, no, it was just an idea. It's really easy. If anyone's
interested, I'm open to giving it a shot. By really, and I
think it'd be dynamite for the show. We'd learn a lot about how
things work we make I find,
I'm gonna give you some incentive,
instead. incentive, okay, give
you an incentive. And I'm gonna give this incentive to everybody
who's listening. I want everyone out there who listens to no
agenda regularly. There's 1000s of you to think about running
for office like this, like what Adams all jacked up about,
especially for Congress. If you're in Congress, and I could
be wrong about this, but I did some research and I don't think
I am. But if you're and it's slightly different if you're
older, but if you're a normal 50 year old person and you get
reelected what once to the House of Representatives, you have a
lifetime pension and lifetime health care. So you're bitching
about your $500 a month, you get lifetime health care free. The
pension is full salary for the rest of your life.
And the salary is like $174,000. Yes, no, it's $174,000.
For Congress, yes, sir. Okay, you get that for the rest of
your life. And if you don't get elected, I believe this is true.
If you're over 65, and you get elected, you get elected once.
You don't have to get elected twice to get this pension. I
could go do this.
I'm not afraid to lose. Let's put it that way, then. And I
think that there's enough people here to look, Austin is May is
mainly downtown Austin, which is a lot of people here. It's not
the douchebag part. That's what's interesting. That belongs
to the McCall guy. It's it's crazy. So district 10 is next to
district 21. of district 10 Has the new part where the JW
Marriott is and the new convention centre and all this
stuff. So that's where McCall is the douchebag.
And if you're not in a douche bag, oh, I
have the older downtown Austin crew who are all going to be
Yeah, because I'm getting my thing. My slogan will be no
douchebags in Texas.
Okay. And I'm in with that.
I'm interested. I'm very interested. What would that
obviously the only thing I can now say is thank you for your
courage and passion. And in the morning to you John C with the C
stands for campaign manager. DeVore
AK. Well, in the morning to you Adam curry in the morning all
ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the
water. And all the games and nights out there.
In the morning, everybody in the shot room. No agenda stream.com
you hereby recruited to run on the campaign. Thank you to our
artists now the artists we need to thank today is a 21 ball for
bringing us the art for Episode Seven Niner set seven. And we
need to discuss we can do that now or later if you want. I had
a call with Apple about the artwork for episode 800. Yes, we
do that briefly. Yeah, let's
talk about it. Okay.
So of course, you know, I talked to Boggs. He's the guy who's the
global guy have a podcast? And this Oh, of course, he sends me
out. Yeah, he sends his guy Steve, who now is going to talk
to me about the artwork. Boy I remembered why why we do this
independent. There's there's a style guide a or a guide, I
should say with dimensions etc. And what you cannot put in the
artwork that is linked in the show notes. So should take a
look at that anyone who's interested. Now, here's what I
learned. Because of course, we're looking at this from our
perspective of hey, it's great to be highlighted 800 episodes,
you know, hey, it's more a testament to the producers who
have done all this. So besides the obvious, you know, we know
swastika as like, okay, no guns, you know, okay, no, no pills, no
drugs, no evil, no, not so pretty bland. But also, they
really don't want us to put an episode number on it. And the
reasoning is that
and I make this the Evergreen cover.
That's kind of what it seems like the reasoning was solid.
They have done this before. He said whenever we put something
with like a jubilee type episode, people don't click on
it. Because it's like, ah, too many episodes that I want to get
invested on behind this. That's good knowledge to have, I hadn't
realised that we don't think we're expecting a lot of new
people to come on board, necessarily. It's always nice,
but that has to be taken into account and they're pretty
adamant like this. Don't put a number on it. Now it's
like okay, so so we need Okay, that was here was what I'm
thinking immediately. You can before we go any further, we
need to
cover arts when I would say three and even better, we need a
my Monday, because they have a huge ramp up period. And it
won't it kind of I won't be on until the 21st which was
what we need is evergreen cover. We probably already have that by
the way.
Not in the dimensions that are needed. We need it has to be a
huge size. Huge, huge, huge size. Yeah,
what size
I love to look, it's going to be in the shownotes I don't know
offhand. Wait, maybe I have it here on what is this? No, I
don't have it offhand. I will find it. It'll be in the show
notes. One of the old ones because there is no it has to be
it has to be much bigger.
Okay, so we'll get we'll get somebody somebody and
then it gets worse. No, no buy lines, no subtext, no slogans on
the artwork, but we can give them one which they'd be happy
to place underneath the artwork.
So, the all like all I can say is no agenda.
No, it can be beautiful piece of art, as long as you don't put
anything controversial in it or with Dvorak and curry. Yes, of
course that's not controversial. But you can put the 800 number
in it
and have an 800 number. Oh, I mean, you already talked about
this show. Yes.
This show number. One 800. No agenda. No, you can't.
So I can you.
Let me tell you something else, right. Oh, we really I showed
him the Art Generator. He's like, holy crap. This is
unbelievable. I said, yeah, thank you. I know. I said, Well,
this is one of our favourites is the pinball machine. Yes, that's
a good one an objection. Yeah, it's B would be a problem
because of the logos of CBS, ABC, NBC.
Oh, yeah. Okay, that's true. I agree.
I remember all this stuff from mainstream like, Oh, God. Yeah.
Forgotten. Welcome back. Yeah. So the swastika and Nazi flags
are out. He said, Yeah, they're out
of ISIS. Like no, no, definitely no ISIS flag. I should have
asked them. No. ISIS flag. It's a no finger. No ISIS flag. No
swastika, no. Hammer and sickle? I'm sure it's out. No, no, I
don't mocking Kim Jong Un. We just get a good evergreen piece
at the right side said we don't we'll get about four. We only
get a lot. We'll get about four or five of those. And we'll pick
one of mine. So if you have anything else we can do one for
the
the specs. It's a 17 megabyte zip file. You download it. Yeah.
And it's and that'll that gives you the dimensions view and you
know, this safe spaces near the because it has to be oblong
because can be at the top. So it's kind of like a banner more
than more than a piece of art. Wow. Yeah. Wow. All
right. Well, we'll do that special. And then we'll do a
regular piece of art for the Trump Of course, of course, or
show eight, which is that says you in the show 802 or so of
course. Yeah, so, okay. Looking forward to insurmountable, it's
just one of the things we've been through this before. So
and since you can't upload that to the Art Generator, you're
gonna have to put it on Dropbox or something. Send us a link,
just to make it a little more complicated.
Yes, but we have artists that can do this.
We have pros, we have been we have road amateurs who do pro
work, so we got to actually make the living. Yes, doing this sort
of thing. So we look forward to that. And we're very happy.
Obviously, we're going to be highlighted and I think it's
just
good. Yeah. It is funny. Okay, we do have some people to thank
for show 798 We got two shows left that show 800 We also have
Valentine's Day coming up because nobody took advantage of
the Valentine's Day offer. I don't think anyone likes her
there.
I don't think anyone would listen to the show has a
relationship anymore.
It's horrible. Sorry. Let's start with a few people and
starting with Frank who saved the show. Frank saved the show,
as Agins not as the Baron of stonnington. The burn has done
is Sir Frank and Armand Dale Victoria, Australia. So an RC
and I'll see topped all the Americans and Brits and
everybody in between, with a great number with 500 A's 567891
of my favourites beautiful. And he writes in hello and he's got
a birthday or something coming up. We have a little crackpot
and buzzkill Greetings once again from down under time for
another major contribution beyond my existing $11.11 cent
monthly. The show continues to be both wonderful, wonderfully
entertaining and educational living the latest Broadway
production of who wants the White House 2016 version. The
actors are amazing, although I understand you refer to them as
politicians. Not even Netflix who came up with such an
original storyline Keep up the great work as always a shout out
to my son, row Han, who has his birthday today on the 11th of
February and to my amazing wife Michelle, who has her birthday
on Saturday the 13th Oh, beautiful and a double. You got
both of them on there.
I think so I'll double check. I believe so. We have quite a list
of birthdays. So it's right Yeah, got it on the list to show
and
for everybody. Just a Karma jingle would be great. Yours in
servitude Sir Frank, Baron of Stonington. You've got
karma
and his wife Michelle is on the list.
Beautiful, followed by David Killian in Clinton, Illinois.
333. No note from him that came in as a bank check. Vincent
Ferrell in Burlingame, California would drop right down
immediately. By the way to Associate Executive Producer
with Vincent Ferrell over here in Burlingame, I can wave to
under six See dollars want to thank him again came in through
the bank, Gregory McGregor in Madrid, Spain $222 And he has a
note, and he's got a birthday thing coming up to John and
Adam, thank you for your stellar show in anticipation of show 800
I'm donating the equivalent of 800 Euro quarters. Hey,
beautiful 2222
We still went 113 the exchange rates gone up a little bit 113
Yeah, but
yes, it did go up it went up. Yeah, this is kind of annoying.
I'm donating the equivalent of 800 Euro corals quarters in
exchange for like a healthy dose of MBA admission karma you got
it if I'm lucky and get in I'll be investing roughly 60
knighthoods in becoming a wiser slave 60 knighthoods is good.
Please add me to your birthday list for February 13 It turns 30
To give a call out to all the Spanish listeners who haven't
donated yet this is what those are and he tells them to show
some Kohonen That's right. Keep up the great work and thank you
for your courage Gregory McGregor from Madrid yes
MBA admission karma coming your way you've got karma BAM dropped
the comma.
Now we move on to a Sir Richard Moffat is right, he says a
regular donation. Abraham writes a check and says hi and that's
all he needs to earn one dollars and 14 cents Nicholas MC fall in
Herndon, Virginia $200. And you'll conclude our Associate
Executive producers for today. Light today some reason,
gentlemen, is my first donation of 2016 Sorry for the delay that
show has been outstanding. I'd like can the bitch lead. Can the
bit yeah, I have. I know what that's Yeah, but I guess would
be Al Sharpton of choice which is the mucho mucho one I think
and karma, please.
He keeps. What do you mean when the mucho
one you know? We much? You mean Resist? Resist, rematch, resist.
Okay, keep up the good work. And here's 800 more shows. Thanks,
sir Nick of the South Side.
Run the country and
resist. We must. We must. And we will much you've got about Tama
that. Thanks. So
that concludes a little segment here. Whoa, that's short. Very
short. We do a show coming up on Sunday when remind people to
work that org slash and hey, we have the Sunday is Valentine's
Day. So we do have an offer 20 $14.16 If you want to get a
call out cheap. We also have show 800 on Sun Thursday. So if
you're this will be your last shot of getting a double
executive producers donation. And before that show it happens
also.four.org/in A. We also
have the no agenda Mile High Club website is up and running
at mile high.no. Agenda notes.com. That will also be
listed in the show notes. It's very possible we missed you. So
the if you're missing something or something's misspelt, you
want to change just shoot me an email right now. We'll fix that.
But we got it up. We got to be decked out. Yeah. Thank you.
Thank you. All right. It's always well, I couldn't find
John's email address. Gee, how hard is that?
John dvorak.org.
I've also been experimenting with a list serve. If you saw
that. I did not. And I tweeted only once about a week ago just
to see how it would work. I love those old lists serve systems.
We use send it an email and then everyone gets the email was on
the list and you can make your own you get a digest how big I
did one tweet and we have I think 150 people on it now and
in this it's the signal to noise is pretty good.
You're using for Twitter.
I promoted it through Twitter once. And you know the way
there's a form that you sign up. Sign up at if you want to. I I
just want to know if you'd like to
talk about it later. Yeah, because I don't want to go to
tech news. We got tech news today
of God. All right, thank you all very much for your support of
the programme. Our executive producer and Associate Executive
Producers are the ones who carry a lot of the weight for the
programme. We love thanking them and of course thanking everybody
later on for their in the full on donation segment. These
credits are real credits. You can use them wherever credits
are valid. And if anyone says what would they say I agree I
will vouch for you. We will vouch for
you to vote.org/and A
I'm sure you already did this during your Super Bowl
festivities but please continue to propagate the Formula Bar
formula is this. We go out for hit people in the mouth Hey
citizens Shut up
yeah we got a lot of stuff we could fit into tech news
actually I'm sorry we have a lot of stuff we could fit into tech
news now I'm thinking about it
oh you got tech news to me I
got a couple things I mean if you want to do it now I mean
let's do it now let's get it out of the way I should queue up
these tech news things I should probably have them in my so we
do it we don't do it quite often enough to have it set to go
it's fine I don't think we should do it often enough. We
should do it like once a month maybe techniques tedious.
Tedious techniques is great. Alright, so what do you got? Are
you want the jingle that's what you're waiting for.
Von Schmidt my phone. The way I see it. The only good phones a
landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
Right, everybody it's for the tech Harney. We got the real
tech news here taking over. For Tech News.
Let's start with this one. This is James Clapper is an idiot.
US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has
acknowledged for the first time government agencies might use a
range of home devices connected to the internet in order to
conduct spying. clappers comments relate to the so called
Internet of Things, an array of web connected devices from kids
toys to smart TVs and remotely operated thermostats. In
testimony submitted to the Senate, Clapper said widespread
vulnerabilities in the devices represent, quote, new
opportunities for our own intelligence services.
Glad you brought this up. Because several people emailed
me and I think it stemmed from a Guardian article. And the way it
was positioned also, democracy now also did say it properly,
you get the idea. The guy said this in his testimony? Well, he
did not. He didn't say this at all. In fact, he said something
quite the opposite. And because I went through, there were two,
there were two sessions, total six hours, they watch this crap,
and really nothing came out of it. But then when I figured out,
I was like, where's this piece? Where's this piece about? About
using Internet of Things to spy on people? It's not there. And
the way I felt the way it came across to me is the guardian who
as far as I know, broke this story is a far further back, I
could track this and put this out there kind of as a
distraction. Because when you think about the differences
between his remarks as delivered and his remarks as, as written,
the difference is an effing believable.
So my understanding is, and I didn't get it from The Guardian,
I have a link in the in the newsletter, which is to a
different source. And then that further links, which computer
world I got it from the computer world that somebody actually got
maybe talking about the systems intelligently, they link to the
PDF where it's found.
Okay, so I read the whole PDF, I read his comments as submitted,
and I was astounded because the the true nature of what he's
saying is goes much further than anything you said in Congress.
And I
want to, I want to let Adam stop. The PDF is submitted to
the Congress for them to read thoroughly. Yeah,
exactly. That would be my point. Here is here are his remarks as
delivered delivered regarding Internet of Things is the only
time it was brought up.
Well, that preface I want to briefly comment on both
technology and cyber, technological innovation during
the next few years will have an even more significant impact on
our way of life. This innovation is central to our economic
prosperity, but it will bring new security vulnerabilities.
The Internet of Things will connect 10s of billions of new
physical devices that could be exploited. Artificial
Intelligence will enable computers to make autonomous
decisions about data and physical systems and potentially
disrupt labour markets. Russia and China continue to have the
most sophisticated cyber programmes trying to continue
cyber espionage against the United States. Whether China's
commitment of last September moderates its economic espionage
remains to be seen. Iran and North Korea continue to conduct
cyber espionage as they enhance their attack capabilities. non
state actors also pose cyber threats. ISIL has use cyber to
its great advantage not only for recruitment, and propaganda, but
also to hack and release sensitive information about US
military personnel. As a non state actor ISIL displays
unprecedented online proficiency cybercriminals remain the most
pervasive cyber threat to the US financial sector. They use cyber
to conduct theft, extortion, and other criminal activities. So
having watched all six hours, that pretty much was the extent
of what he said about cyber and technology in a security
framework. The even though Feinstein Finkle the funding to
Feinstein set him up with this question, which Warren's
listening to, and he didn't really address her questions.
Although, of course, we're sure that she read his submitted
testimony.
And ISIL has the ability to spread its message of hate and
violence around the world, using social media in a very
sophisticated way.
Very sophisticated. Let me see how do we do this? Click tweet.
So sophisticated,
Director Clapper, I've read your written comments. And I'm very
much interested in your assessment of these global
threats, their status today, and the outlook for the future. Now
listen to this. John, I'd also ask you to comment on how the
intelligence community is positioned to address these
threats isn't better today than it was, let's say five years
ago. For instance, while the coalition's air campaign is
helping to deny Israel, some territorial issues with the
insulting rail, safe havens, and financial resources, how do we
degrade it and destroy it? If all they need to carry out an
attack in the West? Is an internet connection and an
encrypted message application?
Okay, is that the understanding she has? That the All they need
is, once you say exactly the internet connection and an
encrypted app, and then you can create an attacks
and financial resource, magic mattresses? How do we degrade it
and destroy it? If all they need to carry out an attack in the
West is an internet connection and an encrypted message
application?
That's all you need for an attack John,
you don't need happens.
Yeah, you don't. That's all you need for an attack. Because you
can encrypt yourself from the desert, fly through the wires
come out and then initiate your attack.
I'd like to hear your assessments of how the rise of
end to end encryption has impacted our nation's ability to
identify and track individuals who seek to do us harm. Director
Comey has spoken of this concern often, Director Rogers recently
highlighted as well. I'm interested in your views today
about its impact and how you recommend we tackle this problem
of terrorists and criminals communicating via these
encrypted message Applecross
why reefer on this bull crap,
this is my point, John, these the people running the show.
This is why I need to be Congress. The US
Freedom Act that passed last year, eliminated the bulk
collection of telephone communications metadata. And the
new law now requires specific queries with FISA court approval
to individual tell a greeting from
a script. Yes, she is. Alright, I'll stop her there. Then Comey
did say he had something interesting, but I would just
like to go through a few of the highlights of clapper submitted
testimony specifically about the Internet of Things. I just like
to read it because no one read the whole thing. No one's
certainly didn't tell her their viewers listeners what he said.
Smart devices incorporated into the electric grid vehicles
including autonomous vehicles and household appliances are
improving efficiency, energy conservation and convenience.
However, security industry analysts have demonstrated that
many of these new systems can threaten data privacy, data
integrity or continuity of services. In the future.
Intelligence services might use the Internet of Things for
identification, surveillance, monitoring, location tracking
and targeting for recruitment, or to gain access to network or
user credentials. Then there's a piece on increased reliance of
artificial intelligence for autonomous decision making.
However, AI systems are susceptible to a range of
disruptive and deceptive tactics that might be difficult to
anticipate or quickly understand efforts to mislead or compromise
automated systems might create or enable further opportunities
to disrupt or damage Critical Information Infrastructure or
national security networks. Foreign data science, and I
think this is I think he's probably right about some of
this. This field is becoming increasingly mature foreign
countries are openly purchasing access to publish US research
through aggregated publication indices. And they are collecting
Social Media and patent data to develop their own indices. So
you can't have that. We have to be the rulers of the information
according to clapper. Broader and option of the Internet of
Things devices and artificial intelligence in settings such as
public utilities and healthcare will only exacerbate these
potential effects. Russian cyber actors who post information and
on commercial websites might seek to alter online media as a
means to influence public discourse and create confusion.
Chinese military doctrine outlines the use of cyber
deception operations to conceal intentions, modify stored data,
transmit false data, data, manipulate the flow of
information, or influence public sentiments, all to induce errors
and miscalculation in decision making. This will be used for
HTTPS Everywhere. That's what that's what he's saying there.
But what he's saying is that this is the stuff we're working
on. And he's projecting it on all these tackling totally,
totally, the we'll be doing all that stuff, ladies and
gentlemen, and that's going to be fun to watch.
Here's the strategic outlook. The consequences of innovation
increased reliance on information technology in the
next few years are on both our society's way of life in general
and how we in the intelligence community specifically perform a
mission will probably be far greater in scope and impact than
ever, devices designed and fielded with minimal security
requirements and testing. And an ever increasing complexity of
networks could lead to widespread vulnerabilities in
civilian infrastructure and US government systems. These
developments will pose challenges to our cyber defences
and operational tradecraft but also create new opportunities
for our own intelligent collectors. You didn't hear that
did you? They didn't No, no, they said that twice. So there's
more about the Internet of Things. He did a lot on that but
he went through every single country in the Middle East then
audience all Russia China Russia, China, Russia, China's
all Russia China we're going to be doing everything there
they're gonna be totally screwing us and then we have the
the term that I think we should have an acronym HV ease, which
pops up everywhere yeah, I want a gander a guess what an HV E
stands for VHV E.
Human
I have no idea homegrown violent extremists.
Where's the G?
Let's say it's one word home girl no such thing as one
word home right? Well, it's
HV ease that is what they're doing. Then we have space. I've
always said there's wars in space. Thank you, Mr. Clapper.
threats to our use of military civil and commercial space
systems will increase in the next few years as Russia and
China progress in developing counter space weapons systems to
deny degrade or disrupt us space systems. Foreign military
leaders understand the unique advantages that space based
systems provides the United States Russia senior leadership
probably views countering the US space advantage as a critical
component of warfighting is 2014 military doctrine highlights at
least three space enabled capabilities, Global Strike, the
intention to station weapons in space, and strategic non nuclear
precision weapons as main external military threats to the
Russian Federation. So there's a lot of like really crazy
crackpot stuff in here. A lot of denying disruptive we already
face a global threat from electronic warfare systems
capable of jamming satellite communication systems and global
navigation space systems. See what else was interesting. I
think we had I mean, I've marked the whole thing up it's it's
just pages and pages and pages of stuff. Mexican drug
traffickers capitalising the strong US demand for heroin go
America have increased heroin production significantly since
2007. Thank you, Barack Obama, US border seizures nearly
doubled. Some interesting coincidence. Yeah, I'll say some
Mexican trafficking groups which collectively supply most of the
heroin consumed in the United States have mastered production
of the white heroin preferred and eastern US cities and had
been boosting overall drug potency by adding fentanyl.
fentanyl, which is 30 to 50 times more potent than heroin is
sometimes use as an adulterant. And mixed with lower grade
heroin to increase its effects or mix with pollutants and sold
as synthetic heroin, with or without the buyers knowledge.
This is really there's a lot more going on than then this
little shit show that they put up that I had to watch where it
actually came out. And then just as a Cagle and Newton.
Before I go on, do you remember when we used to get that report?
That was like the international drug report? Yeah, it
comes out every year. Yeah,
yeah. Have you gotten one over the last couple years?
Yeah, we got one last year. That's we're probably due for
one. I think it's the OECD who puts that out. They put out the
big big drug thing why?
I because I'm a web somehow it came up in my brain when you
were reading that stuff about that white heroin Hampshire
wrote that report. I'll look it up.
I send you a note by the way the sky.
Okay. Final thing that we have here Moldova, I just figured I'd
put that in there since you know, you Moldova is where we
saw Kagan Nudelman hangout.
Oh yeah. Whereas Nudelman
Moldova, Michelle Michelle, Moldova faces a turbulent Lea
year in 2016. Popular discontent over government corruption and
misrule continues to reverberate after a banking scandal sparked
large public protests. Yeah, the bank run that we set up, and
political infighting brought down a government coalition of
pro European parties in October 2015. Continued unrest is likely
the breakaway pro Russian region is also struggling economically
and will remain dependent on Russian support. So hello,
Moldova. Yeah.
Can I say some right now? We're in tech news.
Yeah, this is all tech news. Well, that's not tech news.
You're right. Okay, well, I'm sorry. You don't think so. Back
to Comey. Back to Comey. Okay. And it turns out that this
encrypted devices stuff is really not that important for
what they're doing. We already heard. I think you're going back
to clapper. Clapper and Comey were on the same panel. Okay.
Yeah. So and Comey took the encryption question,
what's the risk to law enforcement and to prosecution
if when presented a legal court order, a company refuses to
provide the communications that the court has ordered them to
the risk is that we won't be able to make a case and a really
bad guy will go free.
Because the FBI, they have been for this I ever since I was a
kid, a really bad guy will go free against encryption. We
don't know that. The up care innocent guy might be getting
free money, not on the technicality. Of no idea.
And a really bad guy will go free.
And can you for the American people set a percentage of how
much of that is terrorism and how much of that fear is law
enforcement and prosecutions that take place in every town in
America every day?
I'd say this problem we call going dark, which is Director
Clapper mentioned is the guy love it right. growing use of
encryption, both to lock devices when they sit there and to cover
communications as they move over fibre optic cables, is actually
overwhelmingly affecting law enforcement. Because it affects
cops and prosecutors and sheriffs and detectives trying
to make murder cases car accident cases kidnapping cases
drug
car accident cases.
Oh yeah, he he's gonna explain the whole thing why we need this
he does that work? I'll tell you he has an example. I'm
parking tickets and what's it doing for parking, it
has an impact on our national security work. But
overwhelmingly, this is a problem that local law
enforcement sees Ah, interesting, especially with
respect to devices, phones, that default lock. That is, that is
the overwhelming concern of state local law enforcement
because all of our lives are becoming increasingly digital.
Those devices are going to hold the evidence of child
pornography communications. Thanks. Thanks.
Great start with that
the evidence of child pornography. I think you have
evidence of child pornography on your phone so an online or
become
increasingly digital. Those devices are going to hold the
evidence of child pornography communications that someone made
before they were killed before they went missing. The evidence
that will be necessary to solve a crime and including things
like I said, like car accidents. Here you go. Here's
your question answered.
And so it is a big problem for law enforcement Armed with a
search warrant. When you find a device that can't be opened even
though the judge said there's probable cause to open it. As I
said, it affects our counterterrorism work. You know,
San Bernardino very important investigation to us. We still
have one of those killers phones that we have not been able to
open this is
kind of incredible to me. Well, how about this not been able to
open the phone to unlock it? Is that what you mean?
This is going to have a profound effect on the case. Yeah,
because how they guys got them on camera shooting people how's
it gonna have any effect on the case? Well, so what they can't
open the phone. How about using the information that they've
been collecting at the at the head end? You know, the other
four you're not gonna get the conversations but you're gonna
know who he called,
I know bumped it. This is just to show you what's going on. We
don't call these no techno dweeb. And
you know, San Bernardino very important investigation to us.
We still have one of those killers phones that we have not
been able to open and it's been over two months now. We're still
working on it.
Yep. As the guy been found guilty. He's dead. Oh, god, he's
dead. Yes, it's
true. He's dead.
puckered on the GED killer. Yeah,
the dead killer. Exactly.
Right. It's been over two months now. We're still working on it.
But it's all I heard on the criminal side apparent leaves
very difficult to
open the locks phone. What
difference does it make the guy's dead? Yeah, but that's it
occasionally a waste of government resources.
Right, a woman was murdered in Louisiana last summer, eight
months pregnant killed. No clue as to who did it except her
phone is there when she's found killed. They couldn't open it
still can't open it. So the case remains unsolved. So this is
something I hear about all over the country from my partners in
state and local law enforcement.
But supplying the information is, is absolutely crucial to the
continuation of that investigation and prosecution.
That's one of the aspects of the conversation which is healthy
there's a robust debate going on ought to be because he's,
here's the robust debate ought to be it's all good. Okay, here,
important issues.
But a part that gets confusing to me is when folks talk like we
want access to company servers, we want access to their source
code. What we would like is a world where people are able to
comply with court orders. Lots of companies do both people make
phones are able to unlock them when judges order it and people
who provide communication services are able to comply with
judge's orders
and here comes other here comes you want to hear this last
there's
can't And therein lies the problem but it's not about us
trying to get a backdoor a term that confuses me frankly, I
don't want a door window I don't want a sliding glass door I
would like people to comply with court orders and that's the
conversation we're trying to have
the says the current backdoor connect using using fuses him
confuse
Wow, yeah. How can that confuse anybody?
I don't want a door I don't want a window. I don't want a sliding
glass
that says you got an ISO that that's I'm playing
the ISO as we speak all the hoops. I just don't want a
window. Here it is. This is an ISO for sure.
I don't want a door. I don't want a window. I don't want a
sliding glass door. I would like people to comply with court
orders. And that's the conversation. We're trying to
have the conversation.
Okay, we'll have the conversation.
We'll cut that part out. Alright, so I got
that. Oh, it's so to cut that part out.
I think you just be I don't want to do it. I want to I don't want
to
go. Further tech news. The the end of Twitter, but I can call
it now. The Zizi. Oh, yeah, yeah, the end of Twitter if this
has nothing to do with, with 10,000 characters 140
characters. Now it has to do with the Twitter Security
Council. Oh, did you I'm sure you heard about this, there's no
way you didn't. Twitter has put together a Security Council and
which consists of a lot of social justice warriors. And the
list is quite extensive. To come up with I guess community
guidelines. And one of these actually is the dangerous speech
project. Because I just looked at people who are trying to
we're talking about what what free speech is and then how that
can work. That is over. Right. So the dangerous speech project,
they actually have a guidelines to determine next I want to do
this with you. Five defining variables. So these are the
people who will be determining if you get kicked off Twitter or
not. The guidelines are based on five variables which affect the
dangerousness of particular speech act in the time and place
in which it was made or disseminated. The speaker, the
audience, the speech act itself, the social and historical
context and the mode of dissemination. So here it is,
the most dangerous speech speech act or ideal type of dangerous
speech would be one for which all five variables are
maximised. You're ready for the five variables? One, I'm
all yeah,
definitely if it is a powerful speaker with a high degree of
influence over the audience that has to be in play that has to be
in play. Otherwise, it's not dangerous your speech? So they
don't say they don't define what powerful is
a guy with 26 followers. It's not going to mean any
No, no. The audit the second one, the audience has grievances
and fear that the speaker can cultivate. So that would be like
Donald Trump, I guess. Yeah, that should kick him off a
speech act that is clearly understood as a call to
violence. This is a tough one. This is a tough one.
How call to violence is clearly understood have a definition of
violence?
Well, it's I think it's you have to go back further a speech act
that is clearly understood as a call to violence doesn't mean
clearly stated as a call to violence but understood as a
call to violence.
Lm Fox dog.
Fourth, a social or historical context that is propitious for
violence. propitious is that the word propitious is spell it
PROPIT I O U S. propitious,
yeah. Okay. I think that our pronunciation but
onward, giving or indicating a good chance of success
favourable, thus improve pitches means so favourable for violence
for any of a variety of
use. If you call for violence and there's no chance then you
are okay, then
you're okay. It has to be all five historical or historical
context that is propitious for violence for any of a variety of
reasons, including long standing competition between groups for
resources, lack of efforts to solve grievances, or previous
episodes of violence. And then final, a means of dissemination
that is influential in itself, for example, because it is the
sole or primary source of news for that relevant audience.
viewed almost anything we talked about on this show hits all five
of those,
depending on how you recall for violence burning down anything,
no, but that depends on how you how you wanted to say punched in
the mouth. But that's what we say
hit hit in the mouth, which is not quite as bad, I think. So
this is stupid. And though this is completely stupid, and it's
an it's an AI, but strangely enough, I think it actually
plays into the way people are thinking these days and what is
now kind of become acceptable in mainstream America. Could you be
any more kind of Murca than Texas? Now, now, I don't know.
How about University of Texas?
I don't think you know that. Would I disagree with that
University of Texas is most American. Okay, a Texas
Christian, I think TCU might be
let me play a little clip from something happened this week at
University of Texas, Austin, where a clearly an activist, a
person who was being difficult was shouting things at girls on
campus that he actually I think was not technically on campus.
But he got written up for a ticket. And he turned on his
phone and he interviewed this APD awesome Police Department
officer who's very kind by the web, nothing wrong with what
he's saying. He's being very courteous, but his understanding
of the law is interesting, personal, what's
your name, and your badge number?
My name is Officer wanted it for you. Okay. So you allow me to
speak now. So basically, what I was saying earlier, we had
somebody that was offended by the gesture you're making. And
that's our job is to make sure that that doesn't happen because
it isn't do students this walking into small like, right
here. I know you're not on campus. But you're right. You're
right on campus offending students on on the campus. So
the job here is to write you up as a citation. Disorderly
conduct. For Phenix.
Does freedom of speech protect offensive speech? That's free
speech to protect offensive speech?
It doesn't matter if someone's offended.
I'm sorry. It said he was offending someone. Yeah,
yeah. Listen, it's almost over
pensive speech. Because free speech to protect offensive
speech.
It doesn't matter if someone was offended. That's against the
law.
I don't want to argue it's against the law to defend
it's against the law
saying can you say that again? It's against the law to offend
somebody. Okay, so why I mean, I thought freedom of speech was to
protect I gotta get
your I don't mind you doing the camera but you have to work on
me like I'm working with you. Could you give me your ID
please? Can I have your ID? Sure. I told you two words
earlier I said that you use a Nissen said that you are
defending the sorority
that can be a biologic, too. He used the word anus and offended
the sorority systems like class.
Well, ns has a bias that's also a biological words. So would you
be this work
with me? Like I'm working with you? Can I get your ID I'm happy
to work
and I think is there a way you'd like me? What were the words
you'd recommend? Biological work for me the suggested words I
should use next.
I can't tell you what to do. So I don't I don't know what your
goal here but I know I would that I know that you I want to
show one and I'm just doing much
just doing his job. Admittedly, according to the chat room, the
guy was a trainee, but I saw him in uniform. So he looked like a
uniformed police officer and I'll give
you a clip of the day for that.
Well, thank you. I think that's Warren although I would say it's
my take my honours First,
I would say that it's it's quality was mediocre. And I
think the point was well made, but it's a good clip. And
because nobody the guy's a douche, the guy who is being you
know, busted with a ticket. What's the ticket? We get to the
price on the ticket? Was it 50 bucks? I don't I don't know what
the cost of the 10. Buster was five bucks, but he
was ticketed for offending someone and that I think more
importantly, that the police officer training or not says you
know, that's against the law. You can't do that. I'm just
doing my job. You offend somebody I have to give you a
ticket we're doing what if you're easily offended? Yeah,
right. Right. Have you got any more any more?
Yes I got more.
Okay all right all right.
I said react dimension in the newsletter are loaded up with
test loaded loaded. Alright, let's go with oh, let's go with
a lithium battery storage at least people should know about
it.
Okie dokie now the story I'm sorry what Dory
is fishy
now that we're developing headline on the story we've been
following here in urgent new warning about lithium batteries
on planes the risk that they could cause a quote catastrophic
fire and now the stunning images. The FAA wants you to see
their own experiment and you're about to see what happened. They
VCs David Kerley covers aviation for us.
This is the FAA own test of what can happen if a shipment of
lithium ion batteries spontaneously ignites. These
batteries can lead to catastrophic aircraft loss the
FAA is warning tonight, and current fire suppression systems
cannot effectively control a lithium battery fire. They power
our computers and tablets and can overheat and ignite. Think
about the house fires and the hoverboard fires suspected of
being started by batteries that we've seen recently. What if it
happens in a cargo hole, and it apparently has to seven four
sevens have crashed the packages of batteries they carried
suspected of contributing. That's why the National
Transportation Safety Board is also out with a recommendation
that if batteries are carried, they are separate from other
flammable materials and the number of batteries be
restricted. Airline Pilots want even more that the batteries be
listed as hazardous. We cannot
continue to lose these aeroplanes due to fires that are
uncontained and will quickly bring an aeroplane down. major
US carriers don't allow the shipments of lithium batteries.
But that's not true for all airlines, which is why tonight
the FAA is calling on those carriers to study the risks of
carrying this potentially dangerous cargo. David.
All right, David. David, David,
David, what do you think? Well, this is not a new story. Here's
my mask. No, this story this is everything has been going on for
years years. And this story keeps cropping up. What is
what's going on? What do you think this is? Is this something
scam ish about this story? Just a filler. It could be just a
filler?
Well, ultimately, we have lithium batteries and so much
everything. Yeah. So it is the battery of choice. Say well,
maybe the nickel metal hydride people are behind this banana.
I think that we also go back to big dry cells, the big dry cell
that your clunkers clunkers couple of those in series in
order to power up your laptop, I don't know, other than we have
some new device that can check and see if it's an approved
lithium battery.
There could be some like that. Yeah, I think somebody's trying
to sell. Well, maybe maybe one of our producers will have a
clue. Now this is this last the tech news story. Well, I
might have a couple more. But yes, you have more.
I might. I'm going to save the mind for Okay, last I would
like to direct your attention to a company that hit Tina up for
marketing. She does the communications for the Ronald
McDonald House. And then she said what do you think of this?
El Toro? El toro.com El t o r o I'm gonna go look at this. Yeah,
you can I mean, I'm happy to just read it to you from the
from the FAQs. What does El Toro do that I thought that was a
very interesting outfit on a second. Here it is. So they have
invented and patented a unique series of technologies that
allow our customers to precisely target their customers using
online, online using banner and display ads. What they have done
is they have called 160 million IP addresses from around the
United States. And they and they have correlated that to physical
home addresses. And I guess they have, you know, 100 million
daily banners that they can change based upon your home
location. So that you know they'll have my IP address,
although I think it's kind of flawed, unless they have some
additional cookie stuff. They say they don't use cookies at
all. That's what they say. So when they see my IP address
him your physical address. Yeah, I have my physical address just
Austin or South tech. Right. So
So Tina was she would want to get a bunch of weight. But
I still have now you brought this as a tech. This is a really
good tech story. It's a great tech story, because I'm going to
ask because it was you will have glossed it over which is how did
they get your physical address, they can ping your IP address
till hell freezes over.
They said they called this so they went around the country.
And they called these IP addresses and although maybe
they've gotten information from somewhere else, they say that
they have collected this.
And they this, I'm not buying it unless they came and knocked on
your door, which they wouldn't did knock on your door say hi,
how you doing? Can I look use your internet connection so I
can look at your IP address, or they've done a bunch of drive
bys. And with these open I, you know, that's what that's what I
that's what I'm thinking and whatever hours that's what
Google's doing. Well, Google did it or they got in trouble for
doing it. Well, these guys should get in trouble too. Yeah.
I thought it was. I think it's interesting. I don't think
they're actually violating any any rules or laws, but cheese,
they got a rule follower. I don't know if they're rule
followers. But I thought there was this, this is something new.
If you want to target people within a 10 mile radius, which I
think is probably more likely than right, they say right down
to the address, and they say they are the United States
Postal Service of the internet. If you want to deliver an ad to
a home address, we will make sure it shows up on that
person's computer. That's their bottom line.
I'm I think this is one of the things you can use for your
political campaign.
Oh, hell yeah. District 21. I'm all in.
Yeah. Now they should look into this idea to how strong and
powerful they are el toro.com. That makes now looks like some
sort of operation.
I'm pretty sure it's an operation. Google is going to be
blocking more sites with their no more deceptive download
button initiative. With this is something you like you've griped
about this a lie. gripe about this constantly. Yeah.
But I don't think Google should be the one responsible, the
browser's going to break that. That's what that's Google. And
then they'll give you a little bit of good and then they'll
take it away. On the back end.
It's like Google button in on everything.
No kidding. That's the main thing other than just quick,
quick call back to the another little ditty that came out
amidst all of this confusion going on. The President unveiled
a $19 billion Cybersecurity National Action Plan, which is a
lot of money. And a lot of that is going into the continuation
of it of Einstein. And it's all really for internal is all for
the government who can't keep their system secure. That's what
most of the money's for.
Yeah, that's for sure. All right, I got my last story. All
right. This is because you have these blurry vision issues. And
I know for a fact that you're just glued to your phone all the
time. And on Facebook, you're on Facebook. And so play the blue
light story. This is a scandal.
Well, can you live without your mobile device? Yeah, that's what
we thought all that screen time can be bad for your eyes bad for
your sleep. Now, Apple is testing a new kind of light.
That's not the only solution. Alan Martin takes a look. Now
focus on this. A lot of our eyeballs today are glued to
digital devices.
I use my mobile devices for everything I'm on them all the
time.
We stare at them for hours on end day and night
after hours or using additional devices watching streaming
video.
But with the kinds of light they emit, there may be a dark side,
our gadgets give off what's called blue light, and blue
light reaches far deeper into our eyes than other kinds of
light.
Blue light is that it could cause reactions in the retina
that cause damage over a period of time. Dr.
Tony Moore is a professor of ophthalmology at UCSF. He says
blue light may in theory play a role in aggravating age related
macular degeneration, a condition that can lead to
vision loss and can handle blue
light. What we
don't know is whether chronic use over many, many years might
lead to a lead to a problem.
A more immediate concern, digital eyestrain and sleep
disruption.
If you think about it, the devices are smaller and you
generally hold them closer. Dr. Dennis
Fong is a clinical instructor at UC Berkeley School of Optometry.
He says the clinic is seeing more cases of digital eyestrain
in young people. The symptoms include headaches, dry eyes and
blurred vision.
So the focusing ability is being stressed.
And while we need blue light in the morning to wake up at night,
blue lights suppresses the release of melatonin, a hormone
that influences the bottle crackle clock
using computer meetings and phones late at night can really
disturb sleep and this is likely to impact on general health.
No bull crap. My eyes are improving. That's the problem.
Now here's the other thing. This led to do a native ad for Apple.
I didn't clip that part no Oh, but it makes total sense. But it
went on Well, Apple is going to do a new thing. So when it gets
dark out, they're going to limit the blue light coming from the
iPhone for the next generation phone, I guess. But this story
cropped up in a couple of places so I think has been planted at
know what's been planted for Apple has been planted for
someone. And that closes tech news for me.
Only good phones a landline and the phone should be made out of
Bakelite.
All right, very nice.
All right. Onward. Yeah. Why have I got a whole sheet of
stuff that I've been wanting to discuss about this display
system off visa, please Moscow story, this is screwed screwed.
This is only on German news zone. People covering this but
it's just screwy.
In Moscow local business people, activists and ordinary citizens
were outraged when the government of the Russian
capital city took a bulldozer to many structures around the
city's metro stations. About 100 small shops, restaurants and
shopping centres will pull down. Now the city maintains that the
structures were illegally built in the 1990s. Business owners
however, say they had valid property ownership documents or
leases for their buildings, and that some were confirmed just
weeks ago.
Most of the res structures were small shops that had sold food
and household items. Some were three storey shopping centres.
The city of Pasco claimed they were unsightly and obstructing
Metro entrances and access to gas and telecommunication lines.
The bulldozers were accompanied by riot police, business owners
were not even allowed to save their merchandise and equipment.
This whole thing is nothing but a military action. And what I'd
like to understand is what have small businesses done to deserve
being destroyed in such a barbaric way? I have no words.
Please bear with me. Quite a few Moscow residents sympathise with
the shop owners. They have depended on the small businesses
do this people are all mad no place to put credit on your
phone know where to buy a bun? No toilet, really? Who had a
problem with all these places? It's just horrible. In my
opinion, where should you go to they do it for and what for?
They just made life harder for everyone. Many Muscovites see
the demolitions as one more sign. That rule of law is little
respected in Russia. And the main thing is that they did it
in such a barbaric way that any businessman working in Russia
understood that they will never invest in this country again.
Local analysts say Moscow could face hundreds of millions of
dollars in legal claims. The city also stands to lose
millions in taxes from the businesses that operated in the
destroyed buildings.
As a hit piece of Germany,
yeah, big hit piece for sure.
But still, I can't figure out any way this is just a screwy
hit piece. I don't know what's going on.
Did you guys talk about I didn't hear the latest Devorah Ichor
with some plug unplugged? Did you guys talk about Iran and
them wanting to receive payment in Euros for
their oil? No. Well,
that seems to be happening. That sounds pretty counterintuitive
to the whole idea of who we are. We've killed people
that needs to be discussed. Now not horribly? Sure. I think we
should discuss it
well, a source at state owned National Iranian Oil Company
NIOSH told Reuters. Iran will charge in Euros for its recently
signed oil contracts with firms including French oil and gas
major totaal, Spanish refiner capsa and Le Tasco, which is the
trading arm of Russians, Lukoil. In our invoices. We mentioned a
clause that buyers of our oil will have to pay in euros
considering the exchange rate versus the Dollar around the
time of the delivery. Oh, okay. So it seems like it's pegged to
the dollar. But still paying in euros? I don't think is is what
we want. Isn't our whole system based on the the American dollar
being the reserve currency for oil Petro dollars? Yes.
I don't know. I have to look into that. That doesn't. It's
screwy. Something Trump would put a stop to.
President Trump wouldn't have that that's a horrible deal. The
horrible deal I tell you,
it here's the story that's not covered anywhere. At least that
I missed it maybe I didn't do enough news sources, but this is
the Supreme Court. This is discussed on Democracy Now. Of
course. This is The Supreme Court putting the kibosh on some
of this climate change crap that came out of France
climate change, the Supreme Court has temporarily blocked
regulations to limit emissions from coal fired power plants.
The state comes as an appeals court considers a challenge to
the rules brought by corporations and 29. States. The
Supreme Court's decision to halt the rules is reportedly
unprecedented. The court has never before agreed to block a
regulation before it's been reviewed by a federal appeals
court. The move indicates the Supreme Court is likely to
overturn the regulations in the future. The decision could
imperil the Paris Climate Accords, since the coal plant
rules formed a key part of the US commitment to cut emissions,
man,
so bogus, this is so bogus all this bull crap. Well,
I'm glad you brought that up. I would not have even thought of
this. Thank God, we have producers everywhere. And Silla
rota and Scylla Tila, she wrote an article about this particular
thing that happened. And I wasn't following this because
I'm so not interested in Neil deGrasse Tyson until we have
this rap guy BTOB we've never heard of, but I know I have
heard of him now. And he wrote a lyric about Flat Earth. And that
Neil deGrasse Tyson was full of crap. And the reason why I'm
linking this to climate Wildling this climate change is so he is
brought out on that Laurens show on Comedy Central, the kind of
the, you know, it's like a talk show. You know what I'm talking
about, don't you?
There's a bunch of different shows on Comedy Central.
And so, you know, they discussed this about this rapper, what's
going on about the flat earth? And then of course, they have,
you know, as a science emergency hits the big red button and
Britain. And then Neil deGrasse Tyson walks in, eating a ham
sandwich, like he's Mr. Cool. And the host says, Well, you
have to, you know, could you please, we have an emergency, we
have people here, who thinks that the earth is flat, and that
this segment is not about that, but it's the way that the Uber
scientist are famous guy, Neil deGrasse Tyson, the way instead
of say, explaining really the science, how He's a bully, he's
a big a whole bully. And he does this for all things science. So
when you can't see this part when he comes in, when he's
about ready, you'll hear the crowd react to it, and he's
about ready to do some splainin to this crazy fucker. He takes
off his jacket, you know, like the big bully and he's flexing
his muscles and it's really, really bizarre.
Oh, my sandwich. Oh, sure. Okay,
here, you take that here. See, he's
taken off his coat, he's gonna kill this guy.
Alright, listen, VOB once and for all. Flat, because one,
you're not far enough away at your size.
Okay, so now we're right away personal attacks about the guy's
size, he's not that tall.
Your, your size isn't large enough relative to Earth to
notice any curvature at all. It's a fundamental fact of
calculus and non Euclidean geometry, small sections of
large curved surfaces will always look flat to little
creatures that crawl upon it.
Okay, so that's the only scientific explanation he gave.
That was why you can't see the curvature. But he's calling the
guy, little little ant, a little rodent.
This whole thing is just a symptom of a larger problem.
There's a growing anti intellectual strain in this
country that many, it may be the beginning of the end of our
informed democracy.
He had my attention here as you can understand, in a
free society, you can and should think whatever you want. And if
you want to think the world is flat, go right ahead. But if you
think the world is flat, and you have influence over others, as
would successful rappers, or even presidential candidates,
then being wrong, becomes being harmful.
This, we just heard this, didn't we? You have to have influence
you have to have you have to have an audience
a list of stuff from Twitter II and it also plays in with the
kapu. Yes, yes, exactly. Who the hell you have your speech
controlled by the police?
i This is why I wrap it up. It's harmful. Yeah, it gets better
and harmful to the health, the wealth and the security of our
citizens. Just
so you know. So we have an audience, right.
We he said the health and the wealth. Let me see.
Then being wrong, becomes being harmful to the health the wealth
and the security of our citizenry, the health,
the wealth and
the security of our citizenry. Well, it's got to do with
anything
his wealth, obviously. I don't know But this is this is
dangerous. This is what I call dangerous speech.
Fascist. Yeah, purity of our citizenry. discovery and
exploration got us out of the caves and each generation
benefits from what previous generations have learned. Isaac
Newton, my man said, I have if I have seen farther than others,
it's by standing on the shoulders of giants.
And then the scientist says, Can I get an amen?
Can I get an amen? Yeah, that's where I think Ancilla got
got on this. Yeah, but that was deGrasse Tyson said, Can I get
an amen?
Yeah, can you get anybody believes in God now? Fucking
religion by standing on the show science which we talked about on
the show numerous times. Yeah.
This is it. This is it of giants.
Right VOB when you stand on the shoulders of those who came
before, you might just see far enough to realise the Earth
isn't flat. This is called gravity.
And he drops the mic, the mic. But there was the mic that
wasn't connected. It wasn't it was a mic with no cord.
A wireless mic.
He had a wireless mic on but the mic that he dropped was just a
prop. Just to make it even worse. Like this. I'm just gonna
call him out. Douchebag. I'm going to show my school by
donate to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
And as an aside, that is not gravity. According to our
knowledgeable chat room that is called density of objects. We're
just saying Neil deGrasse Tyson.

He says it took him forever. And he says I you know he didn't he
heard me on these other shows and he just thought I was a
douchebag so he didn't and he says that you are just obviously
old conservative grouch conservative. But you know so he
says it would got him around to the show was actually you owe on

got today. Okay, well, lo.
The way we work this show, if you're new is we treat our
audience as our producers. They the producers give us
information, insight, the expert knowledge but also support the
programme financially. And it's kind of an interesting timing.
In podcast world as the NPR, public radio came out with the
Public Radio Podcast measurement guidelines. Yes, which was the
subject of some, some scrutiny and some lots of flaming back
and forth from companies that track this kind of stuff and
have been doing for a long time. So they're kind of coming in and
let me premise this is as you discuss it, or preface it with,
it starts like this. There is no way of doing this. Well. So
here's what we're doing.
Let me let me right, let me read exactly what it says. It is
difficult to count accurately the number of downloaders no
unique ID is transmitted. When requesting a podcast file
multiple downloaders can use a single IP address such as when
they are on a shared private network. One downloader can have
multiple IP addresses. Each downloader does transmit a user
agent description, which varies by software, sometimes by
hardware use the combination of IP addresses and user user agent
provide something closer to a unique identifier for a dice of
device, which is itself an approximation of a unique
identifier for Downloader. And then they go through this whole
rigmarole of explaining how they're going to do this. I just
want to point out it's bullshit. There's no way you can
accurately measure this stuff in the way it's done. Currently.
It's a scam. If I could tell people that well, how many
people are listening? I don't know. I don't care. I don't have
to sell the numbers to
anybody. Right? We can estimate but there's no reason no,
there's no reason. So thank you for participating in our system,
I think is really good. And I appreciate it. And I think it
works very well for us. How about you?
I? Well, I prefer it. I mean, it's much better you don't want
to be bossed around by anybody for starters, and you're not
subject to people boycotting the show. They don't like the show
they don't want to listen to the show. They don't that we lose
their particular their single donation perhaps but that's all
we lose when we offend somebody which is common. We think we
offend a lot of people. Yes, we do.
Not on purpose is just what it is. Well,
sometimes it is on purpose. You've done it a couple of times
and so have I Alright,
well with that. Please remember we do have a show coming up on

is Magic something screwy.
But now it's warranted and of course she also is you know she
she wants to be on the Download because she's a celebrity there

she sent me a note
She told us she has to she has the opportunity to scold us or
take advantage of it. That's the way I see it. Oh good. You guys
are full of crap.
Hey, okay. Well do we have oh, here
it is. This one. Guess who's back in the news? It really
isn't hidden mainstream yet but he's back in the news a
lot. Hold on. Do I get hints that you want me to guess is it
Yes. I want you to guess is he from America? Kind of. is he
living in America? Is it a he is a he obviously is he living in
America and
he is a he is a he is like a good name that what was the name

name that tune that the car is over and then the okay what do
you do for a living okay. What's the guest that job or something
can't read the chat room Maybe I should just give up. Who? Kara
five Vera.
Oh, the Okay. The Greek Finance Minister.
Yeah, it was kicked out and now he's back in the news
former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has announced
the launch of a new grassroots movement to bring together
progressive groups and parties with the goal of democratising
Europe. Our Fox is known for his stance against German backed
austerity in Greece made the announcement Tuesday night in
Berlin.
The only alternative is to try something we've never tried
before. political movement that starts everywhere in Europe at
once across borders, independently of political
parties, prior political party affiliations that has one simple
objective to get Europeans around a metaphorical table
digital table in forums like this one tonight to discuss as
Europeans their common problems and what we want our common
solutions to these common problems to be Hmm,
what is it this what the EU is supposed to be doing now
already? Thanks, guys. a troublemaker
is a troublemaker. I like him for that though.
The CIA or something? There's no doubt about it. I think it's a
troublemaker probably worse for the State Department. That
little agency they have
the Kagan Newland Nudelman human agency now you're probably
right. Probably right.
I liked it, though. I think that's great. There's Mises back
in the news, and he's gonna start a democratise. You Europe.
Isn't that? What is he? What is he implying?
I don't know. I don't know.
Anyway, out of that,
that is funny. I hope he's not bad. He's been he's not that
he's not using it was interesting for a while is kind
of a maniac category.
I want to play something that is I think important to small door
listeners in the United States. And this is a situation that I
clipped this because in Port Angeles, Washington, they were
Obama is going to show up for some damn thing. Get money and
the chief of police my wife chats with all these bigwigs now
that she's you know, an elite now that she's elite, now she's
an elite and she said that everybody was beside themselves
as
much as she has her own Facebook page that just a fan page.
She has a Facebook page. Yes. I don't know if Facebook's I don't
know what where it is. Anyways, so she says the chief and the
vertebrae of everybody is all beside themselves. Because the
to set up shop so you could bring the president in. You have
to buy uh, you rent a bunch of barriers. You got to do this.
You have a big list of crap you got to do and it costs a lot of
money. And then you get right, it costs a lot of money. And so
this clip, which is what Atherton Atherton is nothing
like Port Angeles Atherton is a they call it the bear or at
least in this report, they call it the Beverly Hills of Northern
California. And it's a very long with Hillsborough and Woodside
those were the billionaires and multimillionaires all live in
the Bay Area because it's where they all live in. They can bump
into each other. And this I think everybody who ever has one
of these presidents especially Obama was bumping around all the
time, making every little community pay for it. Listen to
this.
President Obama is coming back to the Bay Area tomorrow for one
thing more money. But tonight Mark Kelly tells us the town of
Atherton is passing the buck,
right? Totally.
Atherton is the Bay Area's Beverly Hills, but its mayor
says the town's pockets aren't quite as deep as the people who
live here
and the residents are very wealthy but our our budget is
very small, comparatively speaking.
So when the President swings into town to fundraise Thursday,
the mayor and police chief say Atherton with its $12 million
budget can afford to foot the bill for the extra security.
You know, we have a finite number of overtime dollars to
spend and they should be spent on emergency situations, not pre
planned fundraising event.
The last time President Obama did a fundraiser here the town
of Atherton was on the hook for nearly $10,000 city leaders say
Not this time,
we take our residents property taxes and fees very seriously.
Last summer the City Council tightened up its special permit
ordinates. Now host the president in your home or for
that matter, any large scale event that eats up public
resources and you not Atherton will be paying for it. They use
the new law for a big Super Bowl event with Joe Montana at an
Atherton estate. And they'll use it again for the President in
two days in Atherton Mark Kelly KPI x five Atherton has 19
police officers. The chief says last time the President swung
through it took 150 officers in addition to the secrets nervous
to secure the visit. This time the fundraisers organiser has
agreed to pay those costs.
No. Okay. Well, that's good. That's the way it should be.
Yeah.
Especially with some of these galavanting is a term I don't
use galavanting Politico's cleverly bounced around from
here to there. And they expect the city this pick up the tab
right right now No, no,
when I come to your town, I will be in my own air stream of
consciousness. I don't need any money from you got my own
protection.
The blunderbuss,
I was very happy to see that California put another nail in
the coffin of our bed in my favour regarding autonomous
vehicles. And I was a little flummoxed. I
don't know this. I don't know what you're going to.
I was, well, I was flummoxed because it came up on one of the
tech Horni shows like, Oh, it's so great. California is finally
say, yes, yes, autonomous vehicles are really of the
drivers. It's real, that they're determining that because it was
Google wrote to the California Legislature and said, you know,
we need an opinion on driverless vehicles and licencing. And they
wrote a very carefully worded reply. And I think it was, I
think it was completely misunderstood by most who were
like me, like, Oh, this is so great that they're recognising
autonomous vehicles is real. Yeah, except they said very
clearly. If it's an algorithm driving, then the algorithm is
the driver, and therefore the person running the algorithm is
responsible, ie Google. Yeah, that's not going to fly very
well.
They're gonna be liable or responsible.
That have to look at the way I
heard this story was that they had to everyone has have a
driver's licence.
No, no, no, no, no, this is not about that. This is specifically
about who is the driver if it's software running the car. And
California is very clear, if software is running the car, the
software is the driver. Okay, the software is run by Google.
So if the if the software crashes into another car, then
Google
would be liable. That is the obvious conclusion from there
note.
That can be changed with a little blobbing cash Well,
I think it'd be easier just to lose the $1 bet than it would be
to lobby to change it but okay.
Okay, so I lost a $1 bed at night
yeah claiming Oh, no, no, no, no, I just said another nail in
the coffin. I didn't say you lost anything yet. This bed is
long term and this is 10 years this bed. Yeah, yeah.
At this nail will be removed. This is a gouge this is all this
is. This is a extortion. Somebody came up with this if we
need more money to run this stay we what are we gonna do? Let's
get some money from Google out there. We've already soaked them
for enough money. I know how much more we can get. Let's I
got an idea. Let's let's run this thing out there and see
coughs up something. Yeah. Now you're talking. This is I'm
telling you it's just the state extorting Google.
Well, the Obama administration has put a $4 billion investment
up for self driving cars, though this is pretty big.
Well, that's kind of a kind of,
well, he also said I want $1.8 million for the Zika virus,
which will be the last one for me today. Here's my background
are starting to see why that cracks in the story.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. This is from the I think this is from
EURO NEWS.
Researchers in Brazil are investigating one of the most
worrying aspects of the Zika virus is potential linked to
microcephaly. They're raising urgent questions. Is the virus
causing a spike in birth defects? And if so, how great is
the risk? The answers could help shape the response to the rapid
spread of Zika. Reuters correspondent Julie Steenhuisen.
What researchers in Brazil are now doing is they have to look
back and do they're doing a retrospective study. So looking
back in time, and examining all of the women's medical records
to see if perhaps there were some, you know, the mother might
have been infected with Zika. They're also trying to rule out
any potential other viruses that could cause microcephaly or any
other causes such as alcohol exposure and toxic chemicals
during pregnancy,
is investigating more than 4000 suspected cases of microcephaly,
which results in small heads and underdeveloped brains. So far,
researchers have identified evidence of Zika infection in 17
of those cases, either in the baby or in the mother, but have
not confirmed that Zika can cause microcephaly, The Who and
other experts believe it will take six to nine months to
really begin to understand the link
in the case of Zika. One thing they've already done is they
have isolated the virus within a person who was sick and they
have, you know, been able to grow it outside of that sick
person. So they know that's one of the steps there are several
new studies that are Starting in Brazil, I know of one that's
going on in the city of recipie. And in that study, scientists
are designing a prospective study. This is looking, you
know, signing women up and then watching their pregnancy going
forward and seeing how the baby does during pregnancy. That's
so evil.
The White House announced Monday that President Obama will be
asking Congress for more than 1.8 billion in emergency funds
to fight Zika at home and abroad and pursue a vaccine
scam.
Oh scam $1.8 billion
and how many people are actually sick like 35
in the United States? Yes, some minor amount of people that
should just give me 10 grand and be done with it. Now so the
latest is you know what the latest is I think I believe this
to be the culprit I mean, I've been thinking your LIS hearing
all kinds of up while it should be gone sandals got something
these guys is all these different things. But the latest
seems to be a chemical called hire a pro oxy fin I think I
were looking at his PYRIPRO x y fan and it's a pesticide this
they started using 2014 which makes sense because we have to
know that Zika virus started in you know it was first identified
in the 1940s and there's this situation has never occurred
before it's only occurring in Brazil the small headed kids
it's only occurring in Brazil and Brazil is the one who uses
this chemical and this chemical is used in water to treat water
to keep mosquitoes from breeding a bright so a little bit of this
stuff goes into water and so people are ingesting this stuff
you know drinking it
wasn't that the bill from the Mellon Melinda Gates Foundation
initiative the the modifying the mosquitoes
Mike This has nothing to do with modifying Okay,
all right. Okay, gotcha. It was just a pesticide they put in the
water yeah to keep
the mosquitoes from breeding in standing pools so he's put it
all over the place because apparently there's an area of
Brazil where this is taking place there's a lot they have
some sort of like water tanks in New York you know if you go onto
a tall building in New York and look around you're gonna see a
lot of these water tanks are everywhere once it's in they
store water pumped up there so that you have water pressure and
mosquitoes like water and so the standing water is all over the
place in Brazil I don't know if it's kept off or wet but they
just chemical suppose these keeps mosquitoes from
reproducing in in the pile of water the bucket of water with
microcephaly I gotta I gotta be honest with you I think some of
these kids look pretty cool. I mean it's not all of them no
okay the ones that show and it's like you know you could be a
couple of kids that are but does it also stunt their intelligence
so that
that's not cool that's not cool. Your brain is real small and but
this
is a cover this is a cover up and and why all of a sudden we
have $1.8 million being made available is beyond me. billion
that a billion yes that's beyond me
it's a scam it is a cover you don't want these chemical
companies Whoever makes this the lab that look into it. I'll
check it out. Yeah, see who makes this this product? Okay,
it's just a cover up these guys. I was tested the storage I get
this story on here. The story about
you had a couple Zika clips in the past if you want me to.
Yeah, but that's the this
this I think we're all up to date on that. Okay. Atherton
blue light there's one thing in here that I saw. I don't think I
clipped it dammit. I get it for the next show. Okay. But it had
this similar kind of screwy story where where there's a I
don't know why didn't clip this you think would be on your
there's some sort of a device is like a birth control device
called M mula. Me election was killing women left and right.
But the FDA did some sort of approval and it made the company
blameless. Oh, have a lot of this going on where you're you
Oh God, let's don't let these companies get sued for their
incompetence.
Well, the only problem I have with that track and I'm all on
board with you is the Glion bar a disease which is just so
prevalent with vaccinations that the CDC agrees that you could do
there's a percentage of people get Gilliam Baray from
vaccinations but that the benefits outweigh you know the
the negatives unless of course you get Guillain Barre A which
is a horrible disease is it people can recover from it. But
not all people of mine had any recovered from it. Yeah, my
cousin has it and he's from been several years and it was from a
vaccination from influenza vaccination.
Yeah, he got it some other way. So it probably was easier to
control it but you'll look you'll look into the into this.
There's a bunch of just sort of thing going on about this
particular chemical looks like a culprit or at least one
potential when there's going to be some others cropping up now
but again, this is this stupid virus which doesn't seem to have
any harmful effects at all. It's been around forever 1947 Now
suddenly causing this problem does make is make zero sense and
now there'll be busted. You know this will bust out and a billion
dollars will be spent wasted. Yeah,
no one will be busted. That 100 the $1.8 billion
requested in from from an information standpoint on this
show at least Oh yeah, overshot it that way. They won't be
busted. No,
I agree. For end of show we have a GX two track. Very nice. We
have. We also have a little ditty put together by the Media
Research Centre, which is a quick montage completely not
safe for work of Donald Trump cussing in public. I think it's
kind of cool for this
is in public a lot Yeah. Which is kind of cool can see audience
yay for Donald he cusses like the other politicians who don't
cuss.
We kind of like that. And he said, Hey, man, man, well, I'm
gonna put it in the end of show anyway.
I put it in, it's the
place to play it.
The end of show is perfect of shows. Perfect.
I thank you very much for tuning in to the best podcast in the
universe. We will be back on Sunday with another show remind

Dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama
doesn't know what he's doing, he knows exactly what he's doing.
let's dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know
what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. He
knows exactly what he's doing this notion that Barack Obama
doesn't know what he's doing is just not here's the response.
I think anyone who believes that Barack Obama isn't doing what
he's doing on purpose doesn't understand what we're doing.
What he's doing. This is a president this is a president
who is trying to change this country. He knows exactly what
he's doing run the country
