I have a little thing little little package, Adam curry, John
C. Dvorak. Sunday February 28 2016. Time once again via get
donation media assassination episode 803. This is no agenda.
boots on the ground meat subs in the water in Arkansas and
broadcasting live from the air stream of consciousness in windy
Fayetteville in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm waiting for the Zephyr
I'm John C. Dvorak.
You should have seen me. I was like a Nixon Secretary there for
a minute. My arms crossed they got my left toe trying to hit
the jingle.
Oh, sorry, your short gear. You've made a mistake made an
error I made
I made the number one boy scout mistake. Yeah, you did and guy
was not prepared. They have two of these Korg nano controllers.
In case one goes bad which you never think never in a million
years. Would it go bad but I have one just in case. And as I
was leaving the house on Thursday, I thought you know
this thing never breaks. I'm glad just extra weight. I won't
take it.
Yeah, I don't don't need to take this extra weight in my luggage
because it's such a pain in the ass to get in the aeroplane with
all this extra gear aeroplane. Oh, that's right. You were
driving a trailer you could have thrown in all kinds of stuff. I
could have taken my whole apartment in the trailer. Yeah,
there we go. So I am right now in the middle of a desolate kind
of grass patch. Sounds good? Yeah, it's very windy today.
Unbelievably windy. The air stream is a rockin today. Come a
knockin. Yeah. And we're in Fayette, Fayetteville, Arkansas,
our Kansas. Yeah,
I've never been to how is it? It is beautiful here to our
concise. People don't realise what a beautiful state Arkansas
is from tip to up to the Ozarks all the way through it up to
Missouri and left and right. It's unbelievable.
Stunning, really. And of course, it's not as green as it as it
could. Well, in fact, we're having better weather here than
normal for this time of year. But that one is green is really
beautiful. And so we're about five minutes from the University
of Arkansas. Teeny and the keeper and I we right after the
show Thursday had a horrible drive was the worst. Why? Well,
it's about eight hours from Austin to Fayetteville. And
since I've done the show, you know the whole marathon bit of
kind of Wednesday, Wednesday night when you know until 130 In
the morning you get up at seven you continue to do the show.
We're done around 330 And I had to hurry up, get everything
ready jumped in the car drive down to Abuja to pick up the
airstream before they closed, so we're finally on the road around
6pm. And we decided we'd stay overnight in the Sanger Denton
que away into the campground of America.
Sand your Denton.
Yes, Sanger did. Sanger. So I think it's Sanger Sanger didn't
Well, somewhere near Denton.
So we're just it's I 35 all the way up to the west of Dallas and
about 10 miles south of Waco, which is really only an hour
outside of Austin. I 35 comes to a grinding halt for two and a
half hours. We are barely moving. Can't get off. There's
no side roads. There's nothing.
There's what is this reason for this stoppage?
Well, of course, I hopped on the ham radio thinking I would get
all kinds of information.
You got nothing? Yeah, no.
Absolutely not. Tina had more luck on ways and she's on ways
involves suddenly getting all these private messages. Hey,
baby. Hey, well, how many cars are you behind me? Where are
you? You know this weighs product. This is a Google way
I didn't realise this turning into like a bunch of it's it's
a kindred Tinder app for people on the road. I guess she
connected it with a Google profile. I don't know exactly
how she logged in, which is hey, I'm getting all these private
messages. Uh huh. No one knew what it was. It wasn't an
accident. By the time we were moving. We saw that it was
construction. They just shut down. I 35 That was at that
point, just
a little road work. 730 Enos of the public 730
In the evening, but NEC had warned me and you know, I could
have taken different run no one there was no announcement knew
of no one knew about it. It was very annoying. So by the time
we're in bed, it's 3am. And we're only halfway by that's
okay. It was just that's what it is. And then we finished the
drive for Friday up here and it's been fantastic meet up
Friday night at foghorns. We have we have some fantastic
people producing the show. John, let me just turn the heater off
for a second is making a lot of noise. entertain everybody.
I can't hear the heater. I don't know quite what you're talking
about. But okay, you while you're doing that I'm going to
read from this card, which has still been laying around here.
This is one sent in by Amanda when she sent us the
contribution for one of the recent show. Okay, I'm
done. Now you can't hear it. But I can you know, people listen to
the show with it with earbuds. You know, why? Why?
Why? What was your buds?
So we had about 20 people at the meetup, which was a fantastic,
sounds good. A diverse group once again, and not one but two
subs in the water guys, to to Submariners, and I checked some
readers doing in Arkansas.
Well retired. Oh, retired submariners. We had Jim we had
Ben. And it gets even crazier. They had both at one point
served on the same boat within like a week of each other
on the tribe did they know that and at the time, yeah,
not at the time but they knew it at the meetup and I think Jim
knows atomic rod atom. It's a small but very, very loyal group
of the sub mariners. Marinas, I'm sorry, submarine is not
Submariner submariners. And they have boats not ships.
By the learn so much. Yeah, they're not ships.
Yeah, their boats their boats.
has a huge and the Intel Intel a Navy man has ships a boat or
boats or ship and he'll give deck. Yeah.
Well, I learned a lot about the submariners. Let me see. If
you're underway. It's not gay. That was the first thing I
learned.
away. It's nice.
These the guys from the Trident so they're underwater for you
know, two months at a time or something. Yeah.
And you can do that. I think it's it takes a you I hope did
they do psychological analysis at these people? Because that is
not trivial. Working on one of those boats. Oh, no kidding.
Okay. It's cramped and your if you have even I'm not
claustrophobic, but I can see where get under your get on your
nerves. You get to know
everybody very, very well. Very well. And then the second thing
I was told is because they sometimes there's a I guess
British or Dutch sailors on the boat, and they speak of the
Dutch tips. Not everyone that's CIF. It's a circumcision joke.
Maybe people don't know this, but I think pretty much all
Americans. Maybe not anymore are circumcised all American men.
That's not true. A lot. That's not true. Yeah.
Well, yeah, if you're living in the 40s Well, nowadays, there's
a big movement that started in I don't know 1015 20 years no more
than 20 years ago this to end the practice.
I remember moving to the Netherlands and 72 and everyone
was looking at me Holland was very very liberal you know in
sport clubs men and women showering together none of that
is there anymore of course the puritanical US media has made us
all crazy about that. But I remember as a kid in school you
know it gym gym class or whatever people like what's
wrong with you? What what
because all show of it when I was a kid we used gym classes
everyone walking around naked to Yeah, they don't know what to do
anymore. They don't even have gym so who cares if I have an
idea of a solution just stop gym what's your solution? Stop gyms.
And you don't don't worry about the about the showers Man oh man
oh man is it a bowl with this guy? Actually I don't know if I
should use his name it likelihood of him hearing the
show but he used to I didn't wasn't in his classes but he but
it this is a thing that happens with with kids. He was also I
think two years older than me. But he used to be everybody just
remembered him as no show Gilbert no show Gilbert. No Show
Gilbert would take a shower with his jockey shorts on.
Oh gosh. Sad, sad. Kids can be so traumatised, but the smallest
thing named for him. And they they called me turtleneck curry.
I was horrible.
They called you turtleneck curry. Why is this? You had a
long neck?
Remember? We're talking about circumcision.
Oh, I get it. Wow. Yeah. Anyway, onwards, yeah, just get back to
phase isn't one of our reports? Yes, boots on the ground? It's
on the ground so well,
yes. So it could not be any more coincidental or maybe it's just
the universe coming together for us that Donald Trump decided to
do a stop in Fayetteville or actually Bentonville, Benton,
Bentonville, above the airport. Right to near Fayetteville on
Saturday. Couldn't get any better than that for the show.
No, it looks like you're a groupie. Yeah, in fact, I did
get some hate on Facebook for this verse. Like, hey, I'm here
at the Trump rally in people like, so disappointing.
So disappointing. I'm going to see Hillary
now, but of course, I'm not there to listen to Donald Trump
say the same thing. Because that's pretty much it. I was
like, whatever. And by the way, I want to thank our dude named
Ben here. One of the subs in the water who took me pick me up at
the at the airstream took me over there. We had everything
arranged. This was a my focus, of course, was on who was there?
What were they like? And what was the production? The
production was really of importance to me just Yes. How
does this Trump machine work? So they had hired, actually, so
here in, in Fayetteville to live with a couple of large
companies, but the famous ones are Walmart, which pretty much
everyone's heard of, and also Tyson Foods.
They own they own the state. Yeah. And then
are they mainly poultry? Are they chicken? Are they lots of
isn't Tyson
that started off as a chicken plucker.
Yeah, well, so they have Tyson aviation, I presume they fly
their own food around and seems like that scale is probably cost
effective. So they offered at one of their hangars. And this
is a hangar where I think when it was full, probably about 5000
people, the big hangar, and it's the you know, we've seen this
with Trump before you have the open the hangars open, you're
blocking out kind of runway three, three, I think was a
little bit to the left sees you could see planes coming in, head
on as a kind of landing on that runway. And there's a podium
halfway back, there's the press and the media area, which is all
gated off and be a with a riser. So they've got their cameras up
there. And so, coming up to the airport, there was already quite
a line. You know, we were an hour and a half early for this
noon. Appearance. And there were cops everywhere helping
everybody park it was really, really orderly. There were a few
protesters who had signs who were put into a safe space, I'd
think someone actually called it the safe space at the inside
because it was a private event. They you know, they were making
announcements like if you want to protest, please do that
outside the in your in the safe space or free speech zone. But
he didn't say free speech. I think it was like a safe space.
It was was
like the change of the free speech zone is offensive.
private space. What they're doing is they're taking remember
that protests that took place with the college brand some
muscle? Well, yeah, that was we have our safe space. Yeah. So co
opted it. Yes. The safe space to see co opt it
was very good. Very good. And then they were making
announcements from time to time. Yes, this is not a public place.
So you don't have necessarily we have the right to ask you to
leave if you're being disruptive. And the way we do
that is melted street or anything. Yeah, no, I said Pray
was private is all private. That and so I should have recorded it
was hard to record stuff was I did but it didn't work out so
well. And so the announcement was, you know, if you if you if
you do feel like you need to protest, then we will circle you
and go Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump and slowly move you
outside. So it was very clear. This was not going to be there's
not going to be any pushback from anybody inside the event.
The people there. tonnes of families, lots of kids, lots of
brown Americans and white Americans, I would say probably
40 almost half were brown. Which, you know, kind of goes
against some conventional thinking. I believe that it's
just a bunch of a whole white racist supremacist dickheads.
Yep. So coming into the into the hangar there, because it's an
airport facility that had TSA, and they had metal detectors.
And yeah, strangely enough, the TSA was still asking us not to
bring any liquids into the event.
Was that was very bizarre. Oh, and that's because they've been
programming Yeah, yeah,
but they weren't really kind. There it wasn't. It wasn't like
the typical TSA experience except for that one point.
You know, this reminds me just a ticket little diversion. So I'm
sitting in an aeroplane on the ground is in Brazil. And this is
in for delays or someplace and I'm sitting in his Lloyds and
puddle jumper, when that Apollo jumpers was like a small plane
now, I'm sitting in the aeroplane to Stuart and I open
my laptop and start doing computing. The stewardess comes
over and tells me to close the laptop. I said, why you're on
the grasses? No, you can only use it above 10,000 feet. But
I'm on the ground, the planes not even moving. We're just
sitting here. No, the rule is you cannot use the laptop and
under 10,000 feet, you have to be at some believable. No logic
is just stupid.
No. So the TSA, they were slow. They
made so much it's throwing the water bottles at Donald.
Now. Now it wasn't that at all. They were all actually everyone
was really cool. The the sheriff to state troopers, everybody was
there the guys in in camo with little Looking Glasses, making
sure no one was going to do anything bad. This, of course
had a downside. Because when you have a lot of families with
kids, you know, by the time Trump was there, and you know,
through halfway through his speech, you know, kids came,
they want to pee, they're thirsty, they've eaten all the
goldfish in their bag they want to so people did start to leave
I think we we got into was about two and a half 3000 people, it
filled up to five, maybe six, and then it kind of slowed away
halfway through, but you'd never see on television. I don't think
Trump cares because he understands this is really a
television event. And let me tell let me tell you about the
production of this. Because there's some things very, very
wrong with what he's doing. There's some things that are
fantastic. Some things
that this will be interesting. Yeah. First, though, before
Trump arrives and you will kind of all waiting for it's like
Marcus Garvey coming in from Africa to land in Jamaica, this,
God will come in. They had a people speaking there was some
local politicians. And then there was it was quite kind of,
dare I say moving in a way where in succession, the some pastor
local pastor said a prayer, which was mainly you know, Lord,
please protect Donald Trump and his and his family so that he
can help us. And it was, I'm not a super super religious guy, as
we all know, but it was nice to see everyone kind of thinking
positive thoughts. Then a local sing. I wish I had the name. She
did the Star Spangled Banner, and she hit the high note was
very good. And then a couple of veterans came up and did the
play. Hold
on a second yet to stop. So you're telling me that'd be for
Trump lenses aeroplane comes in there's what? Yep. What is the
point of singing the Star Spangled Banner Mirka? Yeah,
yeah. Well, it was first the prayer than the Star Spangled
Banner than the Pledge of Allegiance. What? Yeah.
Okay, yeah, I want to say something. I'm not against any
of these things. I just don't think they should be. So I mean,
I don't have nothing against the Pledge of Allegiance daily
school, we get to start the school day with something at
least it's a ritual, it's a good thing. But to add it to every
single I'm going to the dry cleaners, honey. Okay, let's
hold on a second. Oh, say can you just makes no sense to me,
as well, the way it's positioned. This is a patriotic
Saturday afternoon. We're here with our families. We're
thinking about this great country, you have to also
understand the you know, people who live in Arkansas, they may
not be the same as Silicon Valley, they might not be the
same, exactly thinking the way they do about the East Coast. So
it was more like an event. You know, it was a family event in
Merc, America. What was disturbing to me personally, is
that during both the Star Spangled Banner and the national
anthem, the presstitutes in the press box, were not they weren't
no one was paying attention not standing there on the phone, the
doing the laptops or doing doing stand ups. really disrespectful.
I don't know I don't do I feel that's one of the few patriotic
things I still like to do is if there's if they're singing or
the Pledge of Allegiance, they'll stop for a second. Yeah.
Is that odd? Is that odd that I think that they they should do
that they just seem so jaded about everything, you know what
I mean?
So I don't think I don't think it's odd that you think that way
and I and I agree. There's and I think you hit the nail on the
head with the word jaded, jaded, which is kind of like my
complaining but I'm not. I'm not so, so bad that I wouldn't stand
at attention to During the singing of the national anthem
at a football game, right, where I believe is, you know, I've
invented football games, it makes a little sense that you'd
have them once a week. It's kind of a militaristic game. Yeah. A
baseball? I'm not so sure.
Let me see. What about the people.
And by the way, this national anthem for these games really
only began in the 50s. I believe, they'd never do this in
the 1930s.
But I'll repeat I love our national anthem, it reflects so
well, who we are with the rockets, red glare, the bombs
bursting in air, I think we have the only the only national hell
that not only national anthem, that includes war. Boom. Now,
there has been that now here is that they really mess things up
going on the ground production than whoever's in charge of the
Trump ground team. It's really pretty good. But you are really
missing out on a few things. And here's what I saw in the
production. So they have Well, first of all, I was I was trying
to track Trump's plane and it turns out he has received one of
those, I guess, somehow the FAA is allowing certain aircraft to
no longer be trackable through some of the regular aviation
apps and websites we can track Oh, track their status. Yeah.
Then his registration is nov 757, alpha foxtrot. Then I
finally was able to track it through an FAA website access
that I have, because I'm a pilot, so I could kind of see
him coming in from Oklahoma and he was 10 minutes late. I saw I
could see that he was 10 minutes late. And so we're all in this
hangar and the big opening do you see in the sky. And then
finally there it comes. And Trump's plane is on the way in,
he circles around. John, he did a 400 foot fly by in the 757.
That was That is asking I've ever seen because if it's 757 at
four or 500 feet, it's noses up. It's like it's almost like the
Concorde ploughing through the air. Just literally ploughing
through the air. It's slow, slow speed. Very impressive. Very
impressive. And at that point, when he's doing that, this is
the music that's playing the whole time. Subs Oh my God, love
here he comes. And there's a fly by this is the soundtrack to Air
Force One the movie with the Harrison Ford and this is what
they're playing. Now. Here's the problem. He was 10 minutes late
and they started the track on time. But it just played and
played and you know, we're all like, oh, here comes I'm like
nope, no, that's that's continental because I had the
apps I'm like, No, that's not him. That's Continental
Airlines. And then the music continues to play and everyone's
like
there's no coordination that's not good. They did
somehow they didn't have the coordination of the I thought
they had contact with the aircraft but there's something
was not happening now. But what was worse, they only had three
songs on the on the tape that they played for about 15 minutes
including this bombastic piece and they repeated this one twice
because they finally got it right when he was arriving. But
there were two other songs, Rolling Stones you can't always
get what you want. And then for some reason, which we heard
three times including when he was rolling up because he does
the fly by lands comes by he passes by the hanger then turns
around to have the left side with the with the door near the
stairs. And this is his arrival which should have been this
should have been this it should have been this music but it was
this see if you can hear it that is really hard to hear this he
can't hear that. Let's try this one. This one may be better for
you to hear. This is what's playing well. He's arriving
Elton John's Tiny Dancer. While he was playing his race, it was
a gigantic cockup. She said oh the BAM bombastic music and then
he's in three times we already heard this song Tony Danza
Levitt the Gay is possible shit song ever. And he's not aware of
it because by the time these doors open, he's down. It's over
but they've already played it twice and we're all looking at
each other like cuz you know, a couple of producers were there
like this.
What's the messaging here? Tiny Dancer. Elton John
would be horrified. So they have no tag
that way those public playing of the songs has to be they have to
get approval for that. You can't. I'm sure neither one of
those songs were this were signed off.
No, that's not entirely true. that is not entirely true. You
have to pay ASCAP BMI using it in a venue. I don't know if you
can be forbidden, by law by statute. You're
right. You're right. It's up. But you still have to have us
you have to have a sign off from ASCAP you have there's got to be
some money.
Oh, no, you have to you have to pay the fee for it. No doubt
about it. And I think it gets a little fuzzy if you use it
during with promotional activity, because then there's a
sync fee if it's an ad, or if it sounds complicated, but
musicians like to complain about it. I didn't give him permission
permission, but you really don't need permission. You just need
to pay the performance fee. But regardless, Tiny Dancer, are you
kidding me? That that was that was really bad.
So it was as though that's almost like a dirty trick.
I considered it. I considered it. But I could I was standing I
want to overlook John, I'm looking at these guys. I'm
seeing does a guy have cotton. He didn't have contact with the
aircraft. I saw that. Then they it's like that's all they had.
They had this three songs that the Big Air Force One thing they
had the you can't always get what you want, which is also
what? No, that's the message. You can't always get what you
want. Well, thanks. I guess I'll go home, then.
We're really
where's the big scenario? The big saviour? So there are some
real? Yeah, some real production problems on the ground. Although
for television, of course, it does not matter. It really
doesn't matter. It looks fantastic. Their little bite.
And that's it. They're done.
I think I think it looked really, really, I
think a report on television, which you just gave us but
without the television part, a report on television would be
valuable than a critique, but we don't hear any of that.
He went on for quite a while, which is where he lost the
audience in the in the in the venue, which didn't make that
much difference for the for the meat. Well, first of all, when
you have if you saw the television, I'm just looking at
this from production. I mean, seriously, you know, the plane
rolls up, they push the steps up, the door opens and then
there's an announcement. Oh, and please welcome Governor of New
Jersey, Chris Christie, Christie and Trump both walked down. And
that was that was Boo. The aircraft as the backdrop has a
really big positive and a really big negative. The positive is
when on television, it had a very interesting because it's
black on the top, it has the stripes in the middle and then
white on the bottom has a very interesting kind of sheen and
hue in the background, which I'd liked it. I don't know if it's
intentional, but it looked pretty cool because you have
Trump standing there just you see the bottom of the aircraft,
but if you pull the shot out any aircraft Black is a hard colour.
It looks grubby on his plane, honestly. Especially after
you've flown you fly you land you got the black colour, just
it looks kind of trashy. It's a minor point. I know. It's a
minor point, but it's a minor point. Then he did it's very
typical. He went into some great detail about the lawsuit of
Trump University, which he felt was necessary, I presume for the
television cameras, because that's when people got hot. And
people started to kind of leave trickle aways, you know, slowly
Yeah, they're not interested in that. And I talked a couple
folks, there was one one guy with a buddy had that six kids
and his wife was originally from Australia. And this and now you
got a beauty you're
and you're just in the audience with everybody else and you are
being gregarious,
gregarious. Yeah. What does that mean?
That means that you're you you will chat with strangers
standing next to
you. Oh, yeah, of course. And I say hey, you got a beautiful
family so thank you very much and then it's a dumb it's so
fun. You take take your kids this event, is it Yep. Yeah.
Better as my minds will be brainwashing them. Instead of
this crap. What would he say? Yeah, said I'd rather be
brainwashing them than then the crap that we're being
brainwashed with.
Yeah, that was listeners, a lot of young
a lot of college kids where they're not your you know, I'd
say most of these people if you met him on the street, you
wouldn't go like no scanners there's no way to see that.
Bear. No skinheads. There were no gangs. There. It was really
polite and courteous. It was, it was a family outing. It was
very, very surprised what it was. Yeah. And it was just it
was I thought it was just not
going you know, they didn't want it. The funny thing I've always
kind of find amusing about like areas like this part of
Arkansas, where you can get you can go see Trump I mean, I'm not
going to be able to see Trump if he comes around here. It would
be impossible right or anyplace else in the in the big city you
don't get to see this stuff. And another example is like say a
major rock band comes through. If I want to go see NWA play at
the ballpark or somebody says the waste of my Time. But if
you're in Fayetteville and the band happens to be going
through, they'll play at a very reasonable size.
They play an amp, which is the that's the the Walmart
Amphitheatre, beautiful,
will be reasonably priced. Yeah. And you can get a good seat and
it's a high quality production because it's the group doing it.
It's a very interesting experience if you're living in
Fayetteville compared to living in you know, Berkeley. Yes, and
people are different.
And the nice, and it was, and, yeah, so you kind of have, of
course, you always have the, you see them kind of, like the
snowbirds, but they're here in Arkansas, and just saying, like,
you know, they're near 80. And, you know, the retire, they, they
they're looking like they're kind of happy about life, and
but then they have all the glittery American flag hats and
stuff, and, you know, the glittery jackets, and now it's
the cute Yeah, question of taste.
But no taste for sure. But the rest, John, it was just it was
family. It was it was it was kind of it was once the, and
that's Trump was doing a television event. This is not
for the people there because he does not play the crowd very
well at the event except for the people right in the front, which
is what matters. So that part, I knew he has that stacked but I
did become extremely obsessed with one thing about Trump, his
speech patterns. I've really started to focus on this until
someone sent me a reasonably good deconstructions a YouTube
video, which makes no sense playing because a lot of it is,
is what's on the screen. But when you listen to Trump, he
speaks in pretty much single and two syllable words all the time.
The three syllable words are, you know, big ones, like
tremendous. The words he really wants to get out there, but
sometimes you'll eat if it's a four syllable word, he'll he'll
use a two syllable word if he can. And, and, and the more I
think about this, you and I both know, have certainly been around
or met incredibly wealthy, successful people in business.
And they all in my recollection, they all do have some kind of
very basic form of communication, almost like
farmers, you know, like, we, you know, he's, I know, I'm not
explaining it very well.
No, keep trying.
But if they don't use it, certainly, if they're in a, you
know, they have retail or restaurants or, you know, very
successful in things that deal with people, not necessarily
with banking and computers. They speak very, very simply. And
that's part of the sales tactic, which I think Trump does very
well. And I was even talking with Tina about it. Did you
think he's doing that on purpose had no, but I don't think so. I
think this is exactly why he speaks. He's, this is how he
speaks. And he and this has worked very well for him. I have
two examples. I just wanted to just to get this started move
away from from the event. Let's just listen to this, as I call
it simple speak. Talking about being audited. I think this was
from the the debate, which I didn't see that had an
interesting experience. We listened to it while we were in
the car. It was kind of fun to listen to none. It was very
different. There was at some well, it. The way it came across
to me is whenever Rubio or Cruz was attacking Trump. He just
overrode it and was just talking so loud, you really didn't hear
the attack, which was I don't know how that came across on
television. He would couldn't even really understand what he
was talking about, or what what the attack was about just that
there was all kinds of, you know, piling on it made it very
inaudible. So here he is with simple speaker, but maybe this
is nothing. This is from the debate.
Yesterday, the last Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney
called on you to release your back tax returns and said and
I'm quoting him now there is good reason to believe there is
a bombshell in them. Romney said Either you're not as wealthy. As
you say, you are sad. Maybe you haven't paid the kind of taxes
we would expect you to pay or you haven't been giving the
money to veterans or disabled people. Are any of those
accusations that he has levelled true.
Now listen to the single and double syllables and the lack of
three syllables, and how he punches the important words.
This is a very interesting speech pattern.
First of all, let me just explain. I was the first one to
file a financial disclosure form almost 100 pages. You don't
learn anything about somebody's wealth with a tax return.
This was an interesting point. You don't earn anything about
anybody's wealth from a simple tax return which is true. I
think you can know what what what taxes someone paid, we
don't really know about well, you
learn it from the statements I filed, which shows that I'm
worth over $10 million I've built a great company with very
little debt. People were shocked the people in the back the
reporters, they were shocked when they went down. And I filed
it on time. I didn't ask for 545 Day extensions, which I would
have been entitled to. So as far as that's concerned, I filed it.
And that's where you find out what kind of a company you don't
learn anything from, from the tax return.
And he goes back and he keeps referring back and go back to
something you said two seconds ago and repeat it, and then
something that is relevant to him. It's very interesting. It's
intricate in its simplicity,
I will say this, Mitt Romney looked like a fool when he
delayed and delayed and delayed and Harry rebated him so
beautifully. And Mitt Romney didn't file his return until
September 21 of 2012. About a month and a half before the
election.
So he clearly knew this was all coming. He was very prepared for
this and still very simple terms. Very simple explanation.
I think anyone can kind of get what he's saying without having
to be dragged down into understand Federal Election
Commission filings and then tax returns
and it cost him big league. As far as my return. I want to file
it big league except for many years, I've been audited every
year, 12 years or something like that, every year they audit me
audit me audit me.
This is fantastic. Audit me audit me audit me. You say
something three times people remember, nobody gets
audited. I have friends that are very wealthy people that never
get audited. I get audited every year, I will absolutely get my
return. But I'm being audited now for two or three years. So I
can't do it until the audit is finished, obviously. And I think
people would understand that.
And with that, I think people would understand that clearly.
This is I think this is his natural state. I don't think
he's doing NLP on purpose. I don't think he's speech
patterns. This is him. And his gift of gab sales guys a gift,
it is a gift
I totally give. That's why you can go up, fly there and do a
two hour speech or, you know, sometimes our not generally two,
but over an hour, much of it repetitious. But he had do a two
hour speech, no notes, just off the top of his head. And they'll
be different enough that you'd want to go listen to him.
And what was interesting in this particular piece, was the IRS.
Now, he knows that eventually he's going to be asked to do
this. And he is being audited. And he said, and he brought
something up that Ben Carson, then hooked into we have a
system of taxation in this country that is horribly wrong.
You know, I never had an audit until I spoke at the National
Prayer Breakfast. And then all of a sudden, they came in, they
said, we just want to look at your real estate dealings. And
then they didn't find anything. So they said, let's look at the
whole year. And they didn't find anything. So they said, let's
look at the next year and the next year. And they didn't find
anything and they won't find anything, because I'm a very
honest person. But the fact of the matter is the IRS is not
honest. And we need to get rid of them now. But of course, what
Carson was pointing out is that the IRS had the optics of the
eye of the Obama administration, IRS, because they went after
religious groups who had nonprofits, and they you know,
and this is pretty much proven, although we lost all the emails
and God knows what happened. And you know, it's a mess. The IRS
was, I think clearly being used as as a tool, right after the
debate of Trump sat down with or when I was kind of before he
goes into the spin room with Cuomo kid from from CNN. And now
Trump really spun it out beautifully came
at you tonight about something that's in the news right now,
that really is at your control, which is the tax returns, Mitt
Romney, during the debate was bringing it up again, you could
show him in a second,
if you want to, Why is Trump delaying what he said? Let me
explain about Mitt. Mitt is a guy who was a horrible
candidate, he lost a race that should have been one it should
have been one easily. And I don't know what happened. He
like disappeared the last two months. But when Mitt gave his
tax returns, just so you understand, it was about six
months from now, in 2012. It was 2012. It was exactly September
21. And that's when he gave his tax return. We're in a different
world. So
listen to this stuff. We're in a different world. This guy is
very good.
So you know, MIT is just trying to remain relevant. Nobody's
talking too much anymore. He got some publicity today. But the
one problem I have is that I'm always audited by the IRS, which
I think is very unfair. I don't know maybe because of religion,
maybe because of something else. Maybe because I'm doing this
although this is just recently religion. Well, maybe because of
the fact that I'm a strong Christian and I feel strongly
about it and maybe there's a bias. You see what audit it for
being a strong Christian. You see what's happened. I mean, you
have many religious groups that are complaining about that.
They've been complaining about it for a long time. So I've had
to answer for you know what, no, I can't do that. I can't do
that. We have to put it together to you for a unified way. they
all relate to each other. I don't know if you saw the
picture I have where I have almost 1000 pieces of paper, the
ones from previous relate to the ones later and it doesn't make
sense.
So he brings in the religious IRS.
Yeah, I thought that was weak. I heard him do that.
It's a setup. It's a setup. It's what he does. But he was ready
for this. And I, you know, I wouldn't put it past him that he
called Mitt Romney and said, hey, they're gonna ask for my
tax returns. Why don't you ask now, then I can do this whole
IRS audit thing and delay it for a while. He was a big don't
think that he was big. I
don't think that happened. But I agree with you. I think it could
happen. Something like that. I apologise. They're businessmen
at a height that that entire stratosphere of high level
business guys that are worth billions in many cases, but the
least 100 or 200 million. They all hang out together. I know it
sounds like bullcrap. But they do they do, because they don't
trust anybody else. And so they so there's a like, it's like a
club. Yeah. It's like a wealth club. And you don't they call
each other they talk to each other a little more than they
talk to you and me. Exactly.
I apologise. That was one clip I did record from the his Arkansas
speech, which I found to be entertaining because we have
talked about this type of lead law in the past on the
show, they never want to do anything good. I'm not just
talking about him. I'm talking about the other ones to the
media, the most dishonest human beings on earth. I'm telling
you,
at this point, I'm looking at the press guys. And oh, may I
point out there are some hot chicks walking around and press
these days, who are printing production who are in
production. They're carrying the sticks, which is television
jargon for tripod, they're carrying sticks and then stopped
watches and then they're wearing and mind boggling. They're
wearing high heels of their you know their
this showbusiness high heels and working their way they're
working their way into the into the getting on camera, and they
have
to climb up onto the the riser and it's you know, graded steps
and everything like when What are you doing that short skirts
on with? It was just like, wow, wow, you big Alright, here we
go. So when I look at the press that didn't like, whatever,
yeah, some of them will laugh in each other's
eyes, the most. And we're gonna by the way, while I'm on that
subject, I am going to do everything I can if I when they
write full stories, they write nasty, full stories, and they
know their faults. I've had some written more than I've ever seen
before the last period of a few months. They write false
stories, you can really sue because the libel laws are
essentially non existent within the open up the libel laws. So
when they write falsely, we can sue the media, and we can get
the story corrected and get damages. Right. So important,
and you know what, it'll be amazing how honest they become.
Right now. They can say anything they want to say, someday in the
not too distant future. If I win, they're not gonna get away
with this stuff that they get away with. And I think we all
feel that though we feel that way. Oh, beautiful. Very
dishonest people.
I don't we all feel that way. I think we feel don't we all feel
that way
is playing? Well, we do the same thing on this show. We play on
the kind of public acceptance of the media as being douchebags.
Yeah. Yeah. In general. Yeah. And they are and they are, and
we've worked in it. You know, a lot of these guys
are douchebag about the law about the libel laws comment,
though. What did you feel about that? That's
bullshit. libel laws are already got these guys on the run. I
mean, they're already to liberals that in the olden days
in the 20s, and 30s, you could really go go after people. It's
not that way anymore. It's not the end of guys who run the
newspapers and the media, generally speaking, are kind of
wimpy the owners and they don't want they won't let you know
they're very Ooh, don't do that. Don't do this. I mean, they're
very afraid. So this is nonsense. I don't know what I
think he's just playing ignorance, the ignorance card
because that's that's not nuts. Yeah, they can report what they
do is they, you know, they go out and there's no libel
involved into the stores. I watched the sighting citing no
proof. We citing no providing no proof. we deconstruct these
stories constantly and the amount of libel and I was even
wrong about deciding to approve them. I said the guy was a liar
for saying, quoting him from his Twitter feed because I seen one
tweet and apparently was another one that he did say those
things. So I apologise to that reporter if you ever cares, but
the if you analyse these pieces, yes, they chop them up a little
bit and then but generally speaking, they're pretty good
news. TV news is not bad. It gives you a picture. It's
slanted, slanted It is not liable. No, If a guy says 10
things and you find one of them and you think it's kind of
important that he said this one thing and you pound on the one
thing, ignoring the other nine. Yeah, that's not liable. That's
slanted that's different. Well, so Trump is just full of crap on
this. Yeah, fully crap.
I have the feeling just having been around a lot of millennials
here because it's it's meal for weekend here at the at the
school. I'm sorry, mother's weekend. This wall, the wall
milkman and I'm in a trailer. Hey, wanna see my
trade? Okay, from this perspective in down there in the
south, that's high living.
high on the hog. We say?
Is this an Airstream?
We were getting gas. We were probably in Oklahoma. And and
I'm getting pumping gas and Tina's in the car. And this lady
pulls up the pump next to me and she says, Hey, I look at her and
I'm thinking someone maybe she recognised me or something. I
love your trailer can look inside the trailer tour. I'm
like, What do you say?
Well, yes, no.
It's kind of locked up. Right? Come on you crazy, but even with
some of the people in my trailer. That was odd. People
say Oh, that's cool. Can I look in it now? No. Strange. Anyway,
um, so I'm around a lot of millennials. I have a feeling
that a lot of them are looking at Trump. There's good. Bernie
has now been slandered by by the Hillary team. They've been
sending out all of these as tried to explain to some of
these kids who would astroturf is to say, well, you know, look
at this article that says, you know, Bernie's numbers don't add
up. So and we really need to vote for Hillary because
Bernie's numbers don't add up. And actually, I got a cool clip
here from Killer Mike. Can you name one song by Killer Mike.
I've listened to Killer Mike. I've admired him I listen to his
entire interview on the Tavis Smiley show. I really like the
guy. And then the question is answered, your question is no,
no, I can't either. But there was a little piece and he was
manning one of the phone banks for Bernie. And I'm pretty sure
that this is how lots of these phone calls go. But this is
Killer Mike himself manning the phone bank. I think it'd be able
to understand what he's saying. eventually get someone on the
phone, and he's pitching him on voting for Bernie Sanders
instead of for Hillary. I've gotten a lot of phone calls.
Call call call. My name is Michael winter, you'll just let
her know Killer Mike call. And I'd like you to consider voting
for me. All right, we got one strong for Bernie. Yes, ma'am.
He is a Democrat. And what I like about him over Hillary
Clinton is he has an economic policy that's beneficial for
black boys and black men, especially, you know, bring
minimum wage of $15 for black women with working families that
have helped to bring somebody boys home from jail. And he's
working. And he's offering preschool and health care. And I
really think all the issues that are important. When you go out
to vote, I will help you if you can vote for Mr. Sanders.
I'm not sure if you could hear that well enough. But he's his
pitch is he's going to raise that he's going to raise the
minimum wage to $15. And he's offering free school and health
care. That's, that's good pitch. Gee, he's offering free school
and health care. Do people know how government works?
The president can offer on this and he can No, you can't?
No, you can't. Do I think that actually hurts. And now we have
this movement that is telling the kids, you know, Bernie's
it's impossible. You can't do any of this. Data doesn't add
up.
That's a meme. It's a good while. Yeah.
And a lot of these kids are now saying, Well, why don't we just
do Donald Trump then?
Since the arguments for the both candidates have, even though
they're at the other end of the political spectrum, the
political spectrum is a circle. And it wraps around and so as
you go further out, you start coming around the other side.
And those two are a lot of people put them side by side,
there's a lot of similarities. And because they're both out
there and rambling around, yeah. But I see that's why Trump's
always accused of being a Democrat.
And that actually I think helps him when people say that, but
no,
I think so too. I think a lot of this slam so far have been, I
think the last debate, which I have some clips from but I took
them instead I took the presentation done by ABC and
broke it broke it up into three pieces, because it was
outstanding.
I have a few clips myself, but which was which I pull them
because I don't do any
of that. Since you were taught you were at an actual event,
witnessing it and you know how their wood production was going
and President Trump is doing. I have to at least take a little
side trip here and talk about the libertarian debate.
Yes, because I did not I didn't have cable. I was lucky enough
people gave me sling boxes and stuff to watch. I completely
missed the libertarian debate. It looked like there were
it was streaming online, only that I can show there were 50
people on stage and look like there was a bunch of people on
stage. And let me describe it. First of all I hear let me play
the little sound clip the sound was horrid and play the
libertarian debate sound clip here as much as you can take of
it. What would you were hearing Hold on a second. I don't see
that. I see. Sounds clip just as libertarianism. Oh, it
says libertarians. Okay, got it. Oh, Libertarians played
over Darien split. mentioned to you right now.
This was this was the streaming audio. Yes, jays. problem again.
And original. How long did that go on?
The whole? The whole thing. You're kidding me? Now when it
gets worse, you think that's bad?
Can I play more of this? You can
play as much as you want play. See if you can make any tax
plan. I recommend a DS
Not a single word. That's horrible.
So here now the camera was shooting, I believe a wide angle
lens from probably the back of the hall to the front. One
camera
look like a Logitech webcam.
Yes, a lot of people described it as such. There's a webcam
looking thing from the back of the room. And you can see this
you can see half the audience and the stage, the stage would
probably comprise about maybe 5% of the of the video feed. And it
was across the stage there were these figures behind podiums,
and they were so overloaded that all it appeared was like white
splotches who was
doing the production who were doing the production of this
thing. Nobody apparently it was somebody's responsibility. Well,
they
had the one camera and was there was never a shot of anybody. It
was just as this room shot. That's all it was a vague John
John,
get your tube, you can do that. You can do that. So that's the
point. I'm going to put the background
they were sound like they're nailed it. So you didn't know
who anybody was. And when they announced her name. What do you
think Mr. You couldn't hear the moderators voice because and
this went on for like an hour or two. And so my daughter's over
doing some work here and she you make it clean? I said, I said
hey, you got to see this. Her reaction was completely
unexpected by me. But when she gave the reaction, I said, Oh,
that that's the real reaction. I should be thinking in these
terms. I say you got to look at this. And she said, What's this
edge? I said, this is the libertarian debate and she's
watching it and it's just this little this screen with those
people who can't see and there's no camera movies. Just don't
ever shoot anybody. I said no, there's never a shot of anyone.
And she goes ah, like it was sad. That was like it was really
sad. Oh, she felt bad for them. She felt bad and identity when
she gave that reaction. I said oh my god, that is the reaction
of the millennials. Yes, it's pathetic. That's so sad. Did
you punish her on the spot? I just said what my dad was
thinking
was that and that's it. I mean what can you do
something? Oh said they got my first Sony onstage. Mr.
Microphone.
Exactly. It was like they're using cheap mics. Webcam
fabulous. Hello 1992 Calling we want our we want our M bone
back. Please. Do you have anything anything else from the
Liberty? I guess you didn't have anything because you couldn't?
What can I get? You had to soundtrack their best I can do.
I don't even know who the candidates are you they never
had a camera on anybody. It was from the back of the room for a
Zune see anybody's face.
Well shame on every single one of those candidates because if
you're involved in this, that's what your team or you should be
looking at. More
they don't care. No all they did his vision moan about the Second
Amendment.
From the from the GOP debate, I picked one clip from Kasich who
said something the Um, he's a very modern, he's a progressive
Republican. So this is my new term. He's a progressive
Republican.
It's not a new term.
But that term has been around Teddy Roosevelt progress Well, I
liked what he said about the, you know, religion and gays and
not want to serve pizzas and you know, cater the cupcakes. And I
thought it's worth playing again, because it's the first
time I've heard someone in the Republican Party on the stage,
just say something like, oh, that's, that's logical, and it
fits, and it works for everybody back to
religious liberty, and been a little bit less emphatic. You've
said, same sex couple approaches a cupcake maker Selma cupcake,
can we trust you as much on religious liberty as the rest of
these people?
Well, you know, of course, I mean, if look, I was involved in
just being a pioneer in a new church, religious institutions
should be able to practice the religion that they believe in no
question and no doubt about it. Now, in regard to same sex
marriage, I don't favour it. I've always favoured traditional
marriage. But you look, the court has ruled and I've moved
on. And when I've said you is that look, where does it end? If
you're if you're in the business of selling things, if you're not
going to sell to somebody you don't agree with keypath. Today,
I'm not going to sell to somebody who's, who's gay. And
tomorrow, maybe I won't sell to somebody who's divorced me, if
you're in the business of commerce, conduct commerce,
that's my view. And if you don't agree with their lifestyle, say
a prayer for them when they leave and hope they change their
behaviour.
I love that. And that, that is the true answer. For people who
are the then even for the crazy group. We're always out there
with signs just to have signs. What are those guys?
Yeah, that Baptist churches baptism.
So if you are truly a believer, then what your mission is for
people who you believe are sinners, is to pray for them.
That makes so much sense. Thank you, John Kasich, thank you. You
don't boycott him? You don't yell at him. I pray for you yell
at him. Yeah, I pray for you. That's good. I like that.
Finally, a guy No,
that was a good answer. You said he's not in it. To do John
casing, you got it, like strip your wills your lips out as
often as you possibly can, and then try to talk like
that. I think Donald Trump might be looking at him as a VP
candidate.
I do. I do. I do. Like the kiss from across the room. The I
know, it could be but okay. So where were you before I rudely
interrupt you with my libertarian? Well, you had you
had nothing left. I also had I had a I had to run down we
should maybe do the rundown of the debates since you.
Can I just play my bike? two clips from the debate? Yeah,
plans. He did have one more. That was one. My second one was
oh, listening in the automobile. That was we our heads whipped
around and looked at each other when we heard what I dubbed the
Rubio screamer. What the heck was this thing in the audience?
If you build the wall, the way he built Trump Towers will be
using illegal immigrant labour to do it. What is that? What is
that? Wait for the second one I don't understand because your
ties and the clothes you make is made in Mexico and in China. So
you're gonna be starting a trade war against your own ties.
And the third time don't know anything about bankrupting for
harmony.
What is that? Who can even make that noise?
That's someone who has a kid scream stacks. That's
interesting. You have to assume that brings me back to my old
Led Zeppelin story which I'm Yes, yes. I love the lead.
Story. Yes. Where you had a shill. But hold on now. John,
John, John. John.
John, I want to say you have to set it back for a second. What
year what year are we going to?
I'm not going to do the Led Zeppelin story. Why not? Why
should you want me to do it? Yeah,
hold on. We're going back
to 1972 1860 1960s 819 68
were 90.
Some like a long time ago, made their first appearance in the
United States.
Yes. The first appearance. Yes. Dying nation cool.
I went to the first appearance of a lot of these guys dynamite
ash the way it is back then. So I'm at the Led Zeppelin concert
and there was a moment where they sing one of those songs.
They have a lot of pauses in their songs and they didn't they
jump right into something. I forgot what song it was I'd had
to listen all the songs to figure it out. But it it right
at some moment where they're just about to cut in cut loose.
And they're just about to cut loose and somebody in the back
at far left, and you could tell whether it was a small, small
house, it wasn't the film or anything, split out a blood
curdling scream. And then the Led Zeppelin cut right into
whatever their full volume is all these amps and boom, boom,
boom. And, and it just seems at the time and I kept on my brain.
And so the next day I was I was just, I think during the summer
somebody was working at the Kaiser Aluminium can plant with
a bunch of other guys. And we'd have a lunch break at that lunch
room. And I talked this guy, he's Oh, yeah, I just went to
see him yesterday, I saw maybe the week before. And I and they
came right to me. I said, you know, where they played this
certain song. And then there's this pause. And then there was a
somebody in the back screamed at the top of their lungs. And he
says to me, yeah. And I said that was that's a Suzy said
that. Yeah, they did the same thing. There's my co performance
ah, and I said, plant to plant. Hmm, it was a setup. It was part
of the act. Man who assume
those, those shitty Brits
come up with all these ideas. It's called a shill in the
audience. It's not really a new idea. It's like having the A
plotters you
know? Yeah. Well, this was an that only a woman only did that
during Rubio. Even Trump got some applause. But there was no
one screaming like not for not for Cruz. Not nothing. It was
very
know that she was planted probably by a my, one of the
they make the room. Yes, Mike the room. If you could put
yourself near one of those mics if you know where they are. You
could have a nail, you can nail it. You can scream at the top of
your lungs, you can nail it and that's what she was. She was a
professional screamer
excellent. I have a couple of clips that are not that are not
does not revolve around the debate. So I think you should go
into your into your rundown. Alright, well, let's
listen to this ABC who we know are beside themselves. I think
they're right now doing a fairly objective job even though
there's a couple of non sequiturs in here that are kind
of rich. Yeah. But they're doing a fairly objective job of
reporting on the campaigns because they've lost their man
Jeb Bush. Yeah. Jim, Jim. Jim, be done. Your job's done. And so
they they handled it pretty well. And they don't have you
know, I was watching it the NBC report.
I just, I just saw I'm sorry to interrupt, just saw something.
The jab suspended his campaign. Do you think the still keeps the
option open to come back?
I think to come in at the convention.
I think there's a possibility I agree, or she does.
I will compare this I didn't I don't have the clip of I
compared the Katy Tur. on NBC who has his feud with Trump.
Yeah. She was beside herself with broad smiles because she
saw the debate and she saw that Trump got pounded by a two
minutes like a tag team between President Trump and Rubia
they're just piling on and she was just she couldn't do with
she normally fairly seriously, but she couldn't get rid of this
huge shit eating grin. Grin. So here's my oops, sorry. Sorry.
Okay, so let's play this is ABC and we've already gotten into
it. i This went on for five minutes, so I gotta cut it down
to it three clips. The book.
Christie is also the guy who pummelling Marco Rubio in the
ABC News, New Hampshire debate and today he called Rubio's new
tough tone, desperate,
desperate people and campaigns to diverse desperate things,
flailing punches in the last days of a losing campaign. There
is no better fighter than Donald Trump, but
it sure looks like Rubio had Trump on the ropes last night,
mocking him for repeating simple talking points on health care,
we should have gotten rid of the lines should have gotten rid of
the lines around the states. We have to get rid of the lines
around the states, but now he's repeating himself. I watched him
repeat himself five times four weeks ago. Five years ago
today, Rubio sounded like an entirely new candidate.
Hmm, all right. So so so Rubio, and he's doing in his in one of
his presentations outside of the debates, and they have some
clips from it coming up. I'm watching this too. And the same
way this guy did say what is going on with Rubio? He's
standing there. He's thrown out one liners. We all know. We all
know what happened. You saw the video of him popping a pill.
Yeah, no, that's what happened, obviously. Yeah. I don't even
know if his pop into pill comedians, a lot of comedians
will get this way. But they have to have about five or six lines
of coke. Yeah, yeah. Now the guy's from Florida. So let's add
two and two here. Yeah, let's say let's just he needs he needs
five lines of coke and The anthem Adderall is from Florida.
Well, whatever and Adderall makes you sweat by the way.
Yeah. So So he, he's gone from this kind of reticent guy who's
being pushed around bullied to this, this fantastic stand up
comic with timing. I mean, I was listening to his material. And
he says, you know, you've been you've been repeating yourself
five times. A week, a month ago, he said, I heard you repeat
yourself five times five seconds ago, you know, back and forth.
And all his material was on the money. He wasn't this was
he was reading the lines, though. He was reading the one
liners by saw that it was it was good. I am in agreement.
Well, he wasn't reading what he did when he went and talked,
although he did the same. I heard the same bit that he does
this bit about Trump in the dressing room, and Trump hadn't
come up with a comeback with the trowel. Yeah, but the trial
thing, and here's the whole thing. It kind of laid out ABC
did a really good job of pulling this out,
launching Trump like attacks against Trump up
that last night in the debate during one of the breaks two of
the breaks. He went backstage, he was having a meltdown. First,
he had this little makeup thing applying like makeup around his
moustache because he I one of those sweat moustaches then.
Then he asked for a full length mirror. I don't know why because
the podium goes up to here, but he wanted a full length mirror.
Maybe it makes sure his pants aren't wet. I don't know.
We asked Trump about that. He actually suggested that you were
sweating backstage that you seem to rally I'll
tell you about backstage. I'm interviewed. Like, I walked back
there and he's with a pile of makeup putting on his face. They
said Marco easy with the makeup. You don't need that much. But
no, I heard he had some very nasty personal comments. But I
saw him backstage and he was putting it on with a trowel.
Later, Trump performed an odd impression of that infamous
moment. When Rubio reached for his water bottle on national
television. It's Rubio. Rubio clearly incurred the wrath of
Trump.
I love that bit that Trump did with the water.
That was very funny. But that Rubio again when he's giving his
little talk in front of his supporters, and he says he may
be used a little bit to see if his pants were wet great line
that was written for him by the way. He has he found a comedy
writers no doubt about it. And then but his timing is naturally
says is maybe his pants are wet. I don't know. And the way he
does he slips into the I don't know. It was just it was
perfect. It was a perfect time gag. It's very
that's a good analysis from from a comedic standpoint. I agree.
That's that you're right. If
he was nailing his lines, his timing was good. So he's looks
like a comic. He was doing comedic material that was I'm
absolutely sure was written for him. Which is not an unusual
thing. I mean, you can get writers comic writers, which are
available, especially in certain areas like San Francisco,
there's a there's dozens of them. And you can you typically
where I've worked with them. I've worked with comedy writers
for material because I did a stand up thing once for a
presentation and I can just have somebody write it for me. But
the way you do it is you see you sit down or you get on the phone
sit down to pens and you work with usually about four or five
guys if you want to if you want to develop, say half an hour,
yeah, bacterial, and you sit there and they just and these
guys are unbelievable. They just rattle you to what you want to
talk about and talk about the ABC IO ABCs like that. And they
start throwing jokes out about ABC. They're good. And then you
buy the jokes. If anyone wants to do this, you can you'll learn
this how you do it. You buy the jokes on the fly as the guy is
going. And I liked that one. I like that when you write down
just to kind of the you write the punch lines down is going on
and on and on. And so what else did they were talking about
cars? Last time I drove a car I was like, oh, yeah, that I can
use that. I can use that. No, no, no, no, no, I use that.
What is the what is? What do you think the typical cause you pay
per joke?
10 bucks a joke. That's it? Yeah, pretty much. It's the
price is I don't know that the price has ever gone up. There
was a hot guys. Joke. Yeah, it might go as high as 20 with a
superstar but this no, these guys are 10 bucks a joke because
they all they have is jokes. They have millions of them they
do or dream them up on the fly. They make a couple 100 bucks in
an hour. But okay, now. Now it's 10 bucks a joke. And when I was
at Foothill College when I first knew about this, I went to
Foothill College. Those were two broadcasting and some other
important courses to my life and then went back to Berkeley. I
was with one of the guys in the broadcasting course. And we had
all these guys are all like semi pros already. And this guy
explained it to me. He used to write jokes for Phyllis Diller,
this kid in college. And the price then was 10 bucks a joke.
Wow. And I'm thinking does the price of these jokes ever go up?
Apparently not. But But anyway. So you sit down and do the joke.
You write the jokes down you buy maybe 5050 Over 10 bucks Do you
buy maybe 1020 jokes? Who do you give a check for a couple 100
bucks. And then you go to the next guy and you and he'll give
you a different ended his jokes will be a little different
because every joke writer is God kind of a twisted way of looking
at the same thing. And so you can if you take three joke
writers and you vary the material, sometimes you'll buy a
joke that supersedes a joke you already paid 10 bucks for which
is, you know, Ash was 10 bucks. And you didn't mix the gags
together. And if you'd have any sort of timing where you can
actually tell a joke, or one liner and these guys, they tend
to know you well enough after they write for you for a while
to know that you can't deliver certain jokes. There's a lot of
jokes. I'm not a professional. I can't deliver a lot of material.
This were a clip you get Clip of the Day. No one knows that. I've
never heard of this. This is the price I am this is fantastic.
And of course we know about writers and joke writers but
didn't know this. It's a pool of guys. And I'll take that one.
Here's 10 bucks. That's man. So
it takes you a few years you work with a guy for about an
hour and a half and you buy a bunch of jokes. And then you
work with the next guy and then the next guy if you depends on
how many guys you want to work with. I mean this is the way it
works in the in the room. It's up to you. They don't pay 10
bucks they pay a lot of money to the guys that are writers for
like Jimmy Fallon. They get like 10 guys in the room. They're all
throwing jokes out Fallon is doing the exact same thing. He's
not buying but he's taking a picking this one I'll take this.
And they can run he's they know his style so they can write to
his style, which makes a big difference, because writing to
generalise just so one liners, anyone could do?
Well thinking logically. If someone's listening to this
podcast, and they laugh, that's a $10 laugh.
Yeah, it's 10 bucks. Yeah, just saying, well, that means they
should donate dest that was 10 bucks for every laugh. It'd be
funny.
Wait, wait until we get to the donation segment because this
thing works.
Being Alright, go. Let's go on to the final clip. Now that we
know that Rubio, at least from my perspective is buying
material and delivering live
well delivering on the goods. Yes. Number three.
Yeah, number three after ripping
into him on the debate stage. Well, you're the only person on
this stage that's ever been fine for hiring people to work on
your projects illegally. You hired some
workers from one of the stage has hired people, you haven't
hired anything.
That was a good comeback. I thought I was doing well, but
I'm tired. By the way. I've
hired 10s of 1000s of people over my job. You've hired 1000
people and other kinds of guards and said look, Ted Cruz chimed
into
when I was leading the fight against the Gang of Eight
amnesty bill. Where was Donald? He was firing Dennis Rodman on
Celebrity
Apprentice,
prompting Dennis Rodman to tweet. Yes, Ted Cruz. Donald
Trump did fire me on Celebrity Apprentice. He's about to fire
your blank to cruise gun under Trump's skin. Donald, relax,
relax. Don't get knows nothing about that makes me wonder.
But tonight it's clear the race is now a battle between Donald
Trump and a newly aggressive Marco Rubio. It's time to pull
his mask
off so that people can see what we're dealing with here. Hey, I
hear that lady in the crowd again, sound like that screamer
way in the background. It probably was just so that people
can see what we're dealing with. Here, my friends,
is a con artist. The whiplash today. John Cara with this live
tonight from Texas and John Herbert we sit at the top here.
A lot of people asking tonight. Where were these attacks months
ago is the 11th hour right before Super Tuesday too late.
That's one of the biggest questions of this entire
campaign. for months and months. Marco Rubio didn't lay a glove
on Donald Trump while he built up a titanium strong core of
support was Super Tuesday four days away, David it may just be
too late. All right, John Carlin Fort Worth Texas tonight, John,
thanks.
Now the thing that did leave out what she almost here the
beginning of it is the Dr. Ben Carson saying my interview just
here it is in my name is Ben Carson. Can someone attack me?
Attack me, please.
Yeah, I heard that. It was fun. It's
pretty funny.
I have a suggestion because you've done you've got the three
pieces of ABC. Why don't we take a little break and then we'll
come back and do a few more things. Because we're I'm gonna
keep the show moving on time. Kinda. Yes. And with that, I
want to thank you very much for your courage and passion, love
and light and say in the morning to you John. E stands for comedy

morning to bohemian groove. The artists who supplied us with the
artwork for episode 802
as a nice piece,
what was it again? I don't know. Well, the title was warehouse of
souls. And the artwork I'm looking at. Oh, it was yes, it
was the Obama Putin handshake.
With Putin looking at it right hand because it was a callback
reference. Yes, but what Boy Scouts to do was a good one. We
always I was I thought you did because it was so obscure. It
was we appreciate the art and also
the added insult to injury Obama was flipping him off to the
other hand,

Because first Yeah, no. And he says Good luck. That's what he
says they give it give him some karma. For
course. I also want to know last year, you've got karma. So this
is the second time this has happened. What is going on? I
received them Tina received him. I don't know who didn't You
didn't read you're not receiving them at the end. You have other
majors that you think it's not being received?
As it should be? It seems skipped. The whole thing was
sketchy. So I sent out a second text note now you sent a text
notes. Yeah. Not sure. I'll have a report shortly. I didn't do
enough work on the first screw up to okay, you have anything to
say. But now now. That's all we got anyway, for show 803 It's
kind of drifting, drifting down downward, as usual. There's
nothing to celebrate.
I do have two meetups to mention. And I got to start a
rule now. The so there's a meetup site. It's meetup.com/no
agenda. Yeah, it's terrible. It may be terrible, but it does
seem to work. Um, so meetup.com/no agenda, but what
people are doing is, you know, they're registering and you
know, and they say, Okay, I'm organising a meetup. There's one
meetup. But then you know, there's this whole list, oh, you
have to promote this promote that. I'll promote no
agenda.com/meetup. Otherwise, it'll just will just be getting
these requests for meetups, and a lot of them won't happen. And
I think we have to set some ground rules for that, don't you
think?
Yes, obviously, I would suggest that once you get 10 People that
say they're gonna go to the meetup mate, we can mention it
on the show. But delight looked at that list. And it's just like
two one. Yeah. It's just the industry huge list. I've always
said there's a meet up every place in the country.
Right. So you know, I can I can keep, Please promote the meetup
in San Francisco. Yeah. Well, no,
somebody said that to meet you. I said, where is it? What's the
deal? Well, I don't know. Yeah. Is there a I love you're not
promoting this meetup. I said, What meetup I don't know where
it is. I don't know what you're talking about.
So important is to promote meetup.com/no agenda, when we
get closer to dates, but I'm happy to of course, if you've
got 10 people that I'm happy to promote that. So now I have
March 6, Atlanta meetup, march 19. North Carolina meet up. But
really just go to meetup.com/no agenda and self organise then
and take pictures and promote and let me know what's going on.
Take the pictures that will
otherwise it just gets kind of tedious. You know, just like
your meat, meat. Yeah.
No, I still am going to do the train museum meet up. And I've
decided now that it's going to be the way to do it is we all
take the Zephyr and we'll take the coastal for the trains. Take
the Zephyr which I believe stops in Sacramento. And so they
stopped along the way here. I don't know if it stops in
Berkeley. But I think it stops in Emeryville and go there. And
then you get on the Zephyr and off you go to Sacramento on the
Zephyr and then get off and you know how many people go I think
get 1020 People should
I want to do that we had no donations at the meetup that
were associated or exact level. I will of course be discussing
that later on. But I did receive two bottles of alcohol that I
wanted to discuss Okay, and coincidentally or not one was
actually three things I want to discuss. One was from the subs
under the water dude named Ben and one was from the subs on the
water dude named Jim. Um, so what Ben gave me is a bottle of
Kool Toora Are you familiar with this? From the NA the mill, the
meek family estate vineyard. Your keema valley the Yakima.
Yakima yeah Kairos K AI R O S. Apparently this is a R. R O S.
But it's cool Tura wine co L to ura cool Tura wine apparently
was really good. See you LTURACULT
You are a what sounds familiar?
Apparently is like 100 bucks a bottle.
Well, there's lots of 100 bucks a bottle wines
but the story behind it is the guy used to be an NSA agent was
listening to us from like episode two or three. And he
retired and he started a vineyard so it's it's kind of
from him as well. Well, that
should be cheap for us. I should get a discount
we got it for free. was better Yeah, so we we liked we liked
that the NSA
was it was a Cabernet um, look
I'm looking at the bottle right here. Well, that's interesting.
Let's see wine. This elegant can only be achieved by hand
crafting the entire process from vine to barrel to bottle small
batch. Our wines reflected best in Yakima Valley. terroir,
terroir. Yeah. terroir were world class growing conditions
and our selective approach contribute to the uniqueness of
the wines we craft. But it doesn't say what
it is. It's just a ball of vague wine. It's red. This is a read
well, I can see the bottle it needs to have a name does it
have a name? Tour is the name of the
culture is the name of the label here it's on the front of label
2012 Kairos K AR o s Meek family estate vineyard Yakima Valley,
but it doesn't say anything then
Kairos is probably the branded name there of the blind Yeah,
but there's no measure what the blend consists
of No sir ah, fascinating.
Now it's funny about they've just as an aside since we've got
I have this clip I have no real reason to play it. Since your I
love terroir it was very difficult to pronounce e RR o IR
terroir? Yeah, it means the earth the Yeah, but it's a
French term for a specific it really means something to the
French. It means that this plot has characteristics in and of
itself with or without the vines, that when vines are
planted there, they take on this these characteristics and is in
the bottle of the wine you will have this to the point where
some people can identify a wine blindly, like say, oh, that's
chateaus, such as such because it always tastes
you could taste the qualities of the Earth or the great burger is
it's a
vague definition is vague, but that's what you said is part of
it. Okay, so I'm the difficulty Now you'd think that would be
difficult to pronounce for Americans but but words like
terror, terror, terrorism and terror, terror terror? Are you
thinking to pronounce that let's listen to Charlie Rose. On the
morning show trying to pronounce this word as actually have real
bomb promise and potential.
The next president will inherit the challenge of protecting
American from terror, guarding private.
Tara tarar. This is good. She
writes. That tension is on display in the FBI standoff with
Apple over the San Bernardino terrorist. Powerful intelligence
insider is winning in retired gentleman Major Michael Hayden
says Apple is right in principle, but the government
has a point Hayden created and oversaw controversial programmes
designed to keep Americans safe. He was director of the National
Security Agency and Director of the CIA. He's now telling his
side of the story in a new book. It is called playing to the edge
American intelligence in the age of terror. Good morning. Good
morning. So let's look at the FBI store. Make sure we
understand exactly what you think. He's like, tell me about
the sexuality. It's in your DNA. Wow. It's a hard word.
The guy is working himself to death. Yeah, it looks like crap.
He's on the morning show. And he's doing all this other stuff.
He does three or four or five things now. He's making more
money than he's ever made, obviously, but he's gonna die in
the saddle.
We'll come back to Charlie. I just want to finish these two,
up two more bits here from the meetup. Then from CES Submariner
a gem that I got a bottle of LED slingers, bourbon whiskey. This
has a nice story, veteran owned blood slingers, whiskey was
founded in 2013 by seven combat veterans. When Usa f t ACPs. US
Army Rangers Green Berets and paratroopers combined their love
for America and fine whiskey led slingers whiskey was born tired
of people afraid to support the second amendment the LS W team
was focused on bringing a quality bourbon whiskey to
freedom loving like minded individuals stay frosty and
freedom on
let me tell you that's gotta be the worst stuff ever. It is some
dynamite
Let me test it right now on it's very smooth. It's actually very
nice job.
Really. It's actually good. Yeah, it's fun. I see all those
gimmicks and stuff especially these these bullcrap stories it
is very suspicious so we had a dinner the other night. And
Jesse, Jaycees wife who now works as a chocolate maker and a
chocolate company somewhere in the city of famous one
I'm glad that that college degree is paying off
Oh yeah. So she's at this chocolate plays making chocolate
and like Lucille Ball and well she actually makes it they
actually make it from the raw material. This does talk about
the front end of the chocolate making where you actually make
chocolate from chocolate beans and so she she brings a bar
every time we have dinner with different types and she brings
this one in and then she gives us cock and bull story about it
was the it's a from an area there they have these these
endangered thrushes and if you just a long, long story, and I
happen to know that the millennials, for some reason
they have been sold a bill of goods or somebody sold a bill of
goods or they actually do respond to this. They will not
buy a product unless there's a story associated with it. This
is disgusting Ad Age and advertising.
Oh sure. Whole Foods is filled with products like this when my
grandmother died or that's where we got the small batch. We
thought yes, we found her recipe for lemonade. This is Oh that
this is tasty stuff. John, this is tasty.
Well don't forget Hey, just don't make don't drink any more
of it. Please. We know you all right. Can I fit and have to
drink it's you know, it'd be funny.
She's She's She's. She's not a whiskey girl. She doesn't like
whiskey that much.
So she might be a Scotch girl. Nope. No. Oh, women like some
sort of hard liquor.
Oh, vodka. She's a vodka girl.
Oh, vodka.
Oh, yeah, she's vodka man. Oh, yeah.
But then tell her you gotta get okay well I get some tips for
anyway
then I received anyway let me
finish so she gets she's going on with this story about the
chocolate factory for this and the money goes to there and it's
a big one of these stories there. Every products got to
have this stupid story. And JC by the way, straighten me out.
When I went after on this. I said this is bullcrap. There's
no proof that this story is true. It is me at the dinner
table. And she's
all offended the divorce household that's your reality
show man because it's like wow,
man said JC said no, no, no way you do it. He says he says that
doesn't work. He says you're not gonna get anywhere the
millennials just condemning them for the stories. Now, he says
you just say he says and he's good at this stuff. He says keep
it simple and just go. So what's that got to do with the
chocolate? And that's all you do? Well,
did he say that to his wife?
No, he said that to me that to say to her I was gonna say the
because that will be an Ender. He wants to anything just just
knock him silly. And so So what's it got to do with the
chocolate that's changed. And
I also received a sampler of them both you and I are to
receive a huge bottle of calendars all purpose Greek
seasoning, which apparently is a big deal this stuff attentively.
Actually, yeah, we used to use calendars in the Warwick houses.
And until we owned a spice shop, and then we started getting
Greek seasoning from Mountain high or one of these spice
blenders in Colorado, which was about a 10th the price and just
as pretty much the same product. But yeah, cabinets is
outrageous. You can use it on everything
as his cabinet or seasoning is distinctive in the foods today
as it was it was when as today as those prepared for the feast
of the ancient Greeks. Its history and a can. Nice. Oh,
bullcrap. And one of our producers, the his partner, she
that's called Mindy's fabrications, F A B r i, hyphen
K A T IO N S, then she makes fabric stuff out of fabric. And
she made she made for Tina a beautiful tote bag. A really
nice and I brought home Tina's like beautiful I'm going to use
that very nice. I doesn't have a website but I think Facebook
page I mean, these fabrications, and we'll, we'll thank the
producers, they donated and they have a couple notes. We'll do
that during our full on segment. I think that's it, except for we
need everyone to remember that we do have a show coming up on
Thursday and we need all the help we can get obviously, so
please remember us at VO rag.org/n. A and if you're doing
a meet up or if you're anywhere near other possible people to
donate propagate the formula, our formula
is this. We go out. We had people in the mouth Hey,
citizens, shut up.
So, on our drive up, Tina's reading the stuff. She's on the
iPad, and when we're chatting about she says, Oh, did you read
this thing about Land's End? And, and Gloria Steinem said,
no, no, tell me about it. So she's reading the story. And the
story I'm paraphrasing goes kind of as follows blends and was a
very famous clothing, a catalogue clothing company in
the United States. They've been around for over 100 years. I
mean, for a long time. They had in their latest catalogue, the
print catalogue that I presume online. They had an interview
with Gloria Steinem and Gloria Steinem. You know, she's a
feminist. But recently, of course, she was called out
because she was a surrogate promoting Hillary. But she said
something Ah, you want to be where the boys are over at
Bernie and she had to apologise for that. But when I heard the
story, I'm like, tell me a little bit more about it. And
what the story goes that the their Facebook page was flooded
with people very angry about this interview with Gloria
Steinem, because she's pro choice. And supposedly, all of
the lands and customers were flooding the Facebook Bay page
because they hate Gloria Steinem and they don't like abortion,
and are a bad form to do what they did.
But first I'll say this is a hit job. The I believe the Facebook
flooding with Facebook, a hit job and then it came back. The
only network that paid any attention to this was ABC. Does
ABC like Hillary?
No, ABC was the Jeb Bush.
Exactly. So no one. No one does the story except ABC
this morning popular outer wearing clothing company Land's
End at its wit's end. The retailer known for glossy
catalogues like this one apologising for what's inside
the new spring issue. An interview with feminist
journalist and political activist Gloria Steinem after
customers flooded Facebook with outrage over Steinem's pro
abortion rights damn
there's the flooded meme again, this was a hit job this was
placed they took advantage of it, then they and they ran what
looks like a good public that now they think about it and as
we analyse it may have been a good publicity stunt for Land's
End. Most people
always always good for that, always, always.
Nobody remembers them.
I know you have a couple clips that will tie into some of this
other stuff. So let me just get something that was I only saw
this morning's I think it just came out. Finally we have a
soundbite of the former president of Mexico Vincent De
Fox. And this who was I think it was talking I have one
two is which one is lie.
I have Cooper. Cooper, I have Cooper and this this just was
released this morning.
This pooper talking about the guy from Univision.
Now this is Cooper talking to the former president of Mexico.
Okay,
I got the guy from Univision talking to him. So play pooper.
Okay, so Anderson Cooper,
for those of you who haven't followed it, the former
president of Mexico on Thursday, said Donald Trump fuck him in
his wall, which of course is fantastic that many you get the
beat out for Trump. The minute you get to a former world leader
talking about you and you're not even really a leader or
anything, just the guy running, but I think that was a nice
gift. But Fox took it a lot further in this pooper
interview,
president of Fox Donald Trump is essentially doubling down saying
that he'd made
it probably be better to play him in order then. Okay. So
let's play my clip. This is the original clip. This is the one
with the Univision guy, that troublemaker that showed up. But
that keeps showing Oh, yeah, that's right. It got kicked out
once and so he's got a grudge against
and I think we should point out the owner of Univision has
donated over $10 million to Hillary's campaign. It is kind
of odd that you have the owner of media. You know, how can you
be objective if you do that? Well, it's
it's really what this is. There's another clip I have
here, which indicates this is actually worse than that. Lynn's
doing a pretty good job of this kind of Sly trick East's tricky
stuff, not dirty tricks, just tricks But this is the guy. This
is the character of horror, gay, whatever his name name is.
Vincent. I know the interview. Oh, yeah. Jorge from
Univision, yes. Sorry.
And so he comes in EG. And here's the here's the clip that
started at all.
Fox spoke out in an interview with nev Xian, and fusion host,
Jorge Ramos, about Trump's repeated calls to build a wall
on the US Mexico border, which Trump says he would make Mexico
pay for?
I'd be clear. I'm not gonna pay for that. Wall. She should pay
for it.
He's got the money. Are you afraid that he's going to be the
next President of the United States what we now know that
democracy cannot take us to crazy people that doesn't know
what's going on in the world today.
Okay, now there's two things has been sent. He gets as crazy as
they come. So I don't know what he's talking about. But the main
thing was that got to me was him saying, No, I am not going to
pay for that wall as if he's running the country. I know.
Yeah. Well, it gets he's, he's not he's a reason out is the
middle Mexico is so corrupt, that he probably still is
connected enough to be able to say that, well, you will love
this interview with Cooper, because he takes it to an
extreme on all ends of the spectrum. President
Fox, Donald Trump is essentially doubling down saying that he'd
make Mexico pay for the wall, and that is now going to be
higher, regardless of what you are, or any current or former
president Mexico says What's your response? My response is
that he's mistaken.
What's interesting about this clip, this the telephone, has
this blue that come that that hits every like five or 10
seconds, which, I mean, that's from telephone telephone
exchanges from 1935. What is when you're calling long
distance to Mexico? Yeah.
They're using a telephone exchange from 1935. Yes, that's
it for any current or former president Mexico says, What's
your response?
My response is that he's mistaken. He's taking the wrong
route. There are more Mexicans coming back, then Mexico going
into United States. And
how does he know is this true? There are more leaving American
than going in.
There's a lot of numbers that indicate we have
we have good we have a negative immigration deficit.
Mexican economy has been improving. And because they see
the opportunities here now,
when when he claims that, that the Mexican government is behind
the flow of undocumented workers coming into this country. He
hasn't provided any evidence of that. But he says he believes
that and that smart people know that.
I'm absolute, like, he doesn't have any proof that I was a
president of Mexico. I know other presidents of Mexico,
which have always been working on doing our very best to build
up your portfolio is worth people we need them here. We
don't need them in United States.
Last night as you know, Donald Trump again called for you to
apologise for using the F word saying you should be ashamed any
chance you've decided to accept simply that that request
no apologies I demand as your job even
if you've been Joe Biden has been around for decades and been
sent a fox doesn't know how to pronounce his name. He says Joe,
Joe beaten to beat him. Is he reading a script?
I don't think so. He's he can't say United States either. He
says United
but that's okay. But it's but he's can say Biden. I I am Joe
Biden. Come on. I find it odd let me put it that
way. I apologise for using the F word saying you should be
ashamed. Any chance you've decided to accept that that
request?
No apologies I demand as your job even vice president of
United States came to Mexico. It's a shame that we have guys
like him speaking the language that he's Mexico, Mexicans, New
Orleans, he has offended that he has opened the door to open the
revenue by bringing back America to what he wants. That's crazy.
Never Never before America, United States was so strong, so
powerful, so successful as it is today. He's gonna say that
nation back to the old days Is everything
women so he says America is doing great. Trump wants to take
the country back to the time of conflict and war
we I read the newspapers are
we not in conflict and war as we speak and here in comes
work. Another thing I knew he he remembers me of him speaking
you're really saying he reminds you of Adolf Hitler he reminds
me of people there because it was us talking that people have
the beginning he's gonna use executive
power against intelligible there but so he's pulling the
Cooper was having a wonderful time with this court. He
loves it.
Really say. Adolf Hitler you say?
You say Hitler again. I don't think we got the soundbite. Do
you mind just saying it one more time?
You're saying he reminds you of Adolf Hitler.
You mean, which instead of like, Peter Hitler. Oh. You mean you
don't mean Joe Hitler Do you? Surely you mean Adolf like the
horrible guy right? It's not Joe knows
of Adolf Hitler. He reminds me of
he'd let me remind me. Now on this tip, the borderline this
has not been publicised but the CSU California State University
published in there, there's
there is no California State University. Okay, hold on.
Fresno. Okay. You have to you have to do a search for this
just to see it. They published their The Collegian, which is a
student newspaper. This is Oh, yeah, we've seen this. I've
already seen this, but it's really being kept very quiet.
And it's it's Trump I didn't think so.
So over a week ago when they ran that, the I hadn't seen it yet.
It had a blip. I remember seeing
Did you read it? Now? A few quotes from the editors of the
front page. This newspaper says see Kyle, of the picture of
Trump and then the subtext that leaving Nazi Germany in Trump's
America and the here it is Donna, here it is. Donald Trump
is going to get us all killed. Trump's America is the fourth
right. The hardcore racist and fastest people fascist people
supporting Trump don't want to kick out Muslims and
undocumented Mexicans, they want to murder them. These people
that normally keep their backward racism under the rock
in which they live are voted to be openly racist. Trump gladly
brings the racism and xenophobia out of people as any good
fascist would. If we let them Elect Trump, there will be
lynchings, Trump represents the rise of a new Hitler and is
capable of the same atrocities. It's like we're in the 1930s on
a runaway train barreling toward world war three. So get off your
lazy asses and do something about it, you hipsters. And then
in the editorial, there's also
Photoshop that yes, it said Get off your lazy asses hipsters?
Yeah, this article ends here. Get off your lazy asses and do
something about it. You hipsters the end of that picture of
Trump, Photoshop and the White House lawn doing Nazi salute
like Hitler.
Newspapers, yeah, right. Well, I started this just the same
thing, the same level of discourse on democracy.
But let me ask you, let me just talk about this for one second,
the Hitler's rise was that not facilitated by the type of
parliamentary system Germany was using at the time? The is it? Is
it that simple to think that it let's say Donald Trump, is this
the new Hitler and when that I don't mean Joe Hitler, Adolf
Hitler. I don't believe our Republican Republic system
really allows for him to become that. No, this is true the way
the Reichstag worked and then it's a very different system. So
it's a kind of
Chancellor they have all these other kinds of things they still
do. They still have a chancellor very
specious argument.
That's just kids. But it doesn't it reminds me again, here play
this obscure piece of information.
I just wonder whenever Hitler comes up, the answer is kids.
Kids don't love I mean, you can't kill him. Okay, this David
Duke play the David Duke clip doesn't allow
White Nationalist and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David
Duke is using his radio programme to urge listeners to
support Donald Trump saying Wednesday, quote, voting against
Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage
and quote, David Duke went on to encourage listeners to go to
Trump's headquarters to volunteer saying quote, go in
there. You're going to meet people who are going to have the
same kind of mindset that you have Duke said
David Duke, of course also lives here.
He lives in Austin.
I'm not in Austin. Fayetteville he doesn't live outside
Fayetteville.
I don't know where he lives I thought he lived in Louisiana I
may
be wrong Yeah, so they brought that I will Trumbo why so
David do give me this is like this is a big guilt by
association they love doing this stuff on Democracy Now that's me
they hate it there are stereotypes are bad they have
all these liberal concepts and then at the same time they do
they pull this stuff out constantly is as if nobody's
noticing
it. Then you probably saw the video of Trump staring down the
guy in the in the kk k shirt.
Did No, oh, no. Oh, there
was a guy who was standing there with a KK shirt. Everyone's
yelling at him to get out. And then Trump walks around, you
know, the stock just kind of inflates his chest and he goes
over, he stares the guy down and he walks back and he says, is
incredible. These days, you can't just do we use who's kick
this guy out. You know, he
said a couple of days and one of his visuals said I'd like the
punch the guy tried to punch the guy. So all the liberal media
gets all bent out as he talks about violence. He said he punch
him here's, here's a more, say you're
gonna punch so you wanna you want to punch someone if you say
you're gonna want to punch him.
Here's a somewhat tepid response about he was cornered by this
about this again and again, a good response.
I want to ask you about the anti Defamation League, which this
week called on you to publicly condemn unequivocally the racism
of former kk k Grand Wizard David Duke, who recently said
that voting against you at this point would be treason to your
heritage. Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that
you don't want his vote or that of other white supremacists in
this election?
Well, just so you understand. I don't know anything about David
Duke. Okay. I don't know anything about what you're even
talking about with white supremacy or white supremacist?
So I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Did he endorse me? Or
what's going on? Because, you know, I know nothing about David
Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists,
and said that he's saying it twice. Again, those lovely
cadences,
you're asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about
people that I know nothing about.
But I guess the question from the from the anti Defamation
League is, even if you don't know about their endorsement,
there are these groups and individuals endorsing you would
you just say, unequivocally you condemn them and you don't want
their support?
Well, I have to look at the group. I mean, I don't know what
group you're talking about. You wouldn't want me to condemn a
group that I know nothing about. I have to look, if you would
send me a list of the groups. I will do research on him. And
certainly I would disavow if I thought there was something
wrong that you made that a totally fine and it would be
very unfair. So give me a list of the groups and I'll let you
know.
Okay, I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan
here, but I don't know
honestly, I don't know David Duke. I don't believe I've ever
met him. I'm pretty sure I didn't meet him and I just don't
know anything about him.
Fantastic. He didn't disavow.
He's actually being honest about it. Yeah. Like Obama. You know,
everyone they had that somebody ginned up some phoney baloney
thing about some poor woman, administrator and Department of
Agriculture someplace he fires are based on a Breitbart clip.
You're fired. why did why? What did I do?
There was an interesting question that came up during the
White House briefing. I don't know who asked the question, but
it was, you know, the spokes hole. What's his face? Josh
Earnest. The answer was even more surprising because someone
was on the wrong script. And then it was so apparent that no
one it's just it just goes by and like, Wow, no one's noticing
this.
You mentioned in your slide presentation that unemployment
falling below 5% is one of the administration's main economic
accomplishments. But Democratic presidential candidate Bernie
Sanders has made it a frequent campaign trail talking point
that the real unemployment rate is above 10% Because of labour
force dropouts this way that's agree with that economic theory
that real unemployment is above or above 10%? And if yes, do you
bear any responsibility for that the state of real unemployment
or the number of labour force dropouts?
Okay, so if it was hard to hear you saying a frequent talking
point a Bernie Sanders and the Bernie Sanders campaign is at
the number of 5% unemployment is bogus. And because of the
participation rate is probably higher around 10%. John, you've
been you've been talking about this for what five years? Yeah,
at least five years, at least ever since the economy collapse
in 2008.
So again, the question is the Bernie Sanders campaign keep
saying this, they keep saying that this is low participation
rate, and that's why the numbers bogus is higher. It's probably
double that according to the Bernie Sanders campaign, here's
the answer.
I think the point is simply this, we've made a lot of
important progress in the last seven years. And part of that
progress can be measured by the way that the unemployment rate
has been cut by more than half from its high of around 10%, to
now below 5%. That is undeniable progress that some Republicans
will continue to deny,
wait a minute, why does he say Republicans? The question was
Bernie Sanders camp, then he says, Some Republicans will deny
this undeniable progress that some Republicans continue to
wait for it does it again, what's also true, and I think
this is the point that Senator Sanders is making, is that we
can't let up, we need to continue to be focused on making
sure that we're expanding economic opportunity for the
middle class.
So we've just turned it around. And he said, I think the point
Senator Sanders is making is not that your numbers are full of
crap. But we really need to keep going, or that
we're expanding economic opportunity for the middle
class, and that we're making the kinds of investments that are
going to benefit future generations of American workers.
And again, unfortunately, well, and so that means
Did you hear he was about to say it, he caught himself, but then
he does it anyways,
as the President has said, doing things like raising the minimum
wage, and investing in early childhood education, and
offering two years of community college education to students
that are willing to work hard for it. Unfortunately,
Republicans, while some recognise that more work needs
to be done, have exactly the wrong prescription, if they
actually want to go back to the policies that led to the great
recession in the first place.
It's about Bernie Sanders.
Just want to go back to cutting taxes for the wealthy and for
wealthy corporations. Doesn't make any sense. And it certainly
is a vision that is not consistent with what President
Obama has fought for, for the last seven years. And it's not
consistent with the kind of vision that's being articulated
by Democrats on the campaign
trail. Well done. Well done, Ernest. Not only did he say the
Republicans are saying this, but even said Bernie Sanders has the
right idea with his comments. mind boggling mind boggling to
house
allies. Well, I mean, talking about that sort of thing, this
was the I caught this little I wondered why Democracy Now.
Democracy Now really annoys me because they keep pulling this
crap into communities about climate change. But they have
they brought a little clip in there about Cruz and how he'd
you know, those those film ographers who did the Planned
Parenthood undercover videos, yeah, yeah, they had a they had
a grand jury to see, you know, if these Planned Parenthood
officers were criminals, and they then they indict these two
people, right. Which means that that's what's the target to
begin with, because that's the way grand juries work. So she
decides to discuss this by pulling out a clip from the
Kelly's show, Kelly Megyn. Kelly, Kelly File about Trump's
or Cruz saying that he'd he'd define them now? Oh, I think
that the point of this clip is different altogether. And the
real reason that she does this clip, I think it'll be obvious
to you when you hear this clip.
Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz
has said he would pardon David Daleiden, an anti choice
activists who was indicted by a Texas Task Force last month on
charges stemming from the highly edited videos he shot undercover
at Planned Parenthood. Cruz made the remarks in response to an
audience members question during a special edition of Fox News
The Kelly File Wednesday night. You
lay it out for me. Sorry,
I died. If there was something I was supposed to catch. I
didn't Yeah, yeah, you didn't because this is how good this
let me listen to it again. Allow me don't tell. Okay, but I have
to tell you that this meme has gotten to the point. This is
what bothers me about these guys. They jump on these memes
and they just ride them and write and write him into the
sunset until I was okay. Yeah, that's right. Okay. Let
me let me listen again. How can presidential candidate Ted Cruz
has said he would pardon David Daleiden and anti choice
activists who was indicted by a Texas Task Force last month on
charges stemming from the highly edited videos he shot undercover
at Planned Parenthood. Cruz made the remarks in response to an
audience members question during a special edition of Fox News.
The Kelly File Wednesday night anti choice.
highly edited.
Oh, yeah, highly edited. Yeah, you're right. I interviewed I
did.
You did you would looked at all these old videos and that they
were not highly edited.
I mean, I spoke to a Planned Parenthood person on the corner
the other day, and I recorded it. Oh, good. But I haven't
edited more of this. By the way. I haven't edited yet. And I
learned quite a bit about what they're doing on the streets and
who they're really working for. Because they're not raising
money for Planned Parenthood. They're raising money. For the
lobbying arm of Planned Parenthood, when I said I don't
do that I don't give money to lobbying groups. I'll edit it
and we'll have it on
the record highly edited. Well, highly edited.
Yes. Anyways, this should show over with this stuff, how many
more of these stupid things we're gonna get?
Well, what were we talking about? What we're talking about
is we went back to debates, Bernie Sanders.
Oh, I have Al Sharpton. You gotta listen to this one. Okay,
this is the
nominee I'm open to support anyone while I'm also reserving
my rest my ticket to get out of here if he wins only because he
probably have me deported anyway.
So two things one there was the crazy laugh that really got me
the so sharp just write it down and other person we have to
remind they if it happens, we'll have to remind them to go and I
don't know who this woman is, but that's nice. It's a nice so
yeah, I got I have an episode for sure. Okay, now on to
something else, please.
Okay, well, let's go on to Euro lens. Okay, I'm good. I'm game,
Euro land. Two interesting things involving Nigel Farage,
we always love listening to Farraj Faraj speak up the first
one. Now, this is Nigel Farage at George Galloway, who was also
a member of parliament and UK. He has a show on RT called
Sputnik or something. What is Galloway? Is he a commie? Is it
communist but what does
it come from? Exactly right.
Are you being facetious or is the economy? He's a commie? He's
a commie. So he has Nigel Farage on and of course, what is
fascinating to the to the commie to Galloway is He's agreeing
with the the Hitler Eugen Faraj and the here they are sitting
together and having a conversation about how they
agree that the United Kingdom should leave the Eurozone. And I
just picked up one clip where they might just be interesting
to listen to these two completely opposed opposite
sides of coming together and agreeing on the situation.
You're, I'm with you, you and me. But who are we? Who else is
involved? And how are they organised? Well, we got two
sides to this. It's basically Goldman Sachs be the rest No,
it's
what is always it is it's a good that's a good line.
So they're talking about who is funding staying in the European
Union. While these two guys are fighting against that,
well, it's the unholy alliance of big banks, multinational
businesses and big politics that is on one side of the argument.
So you've got B S E they've decided to call themselves they
thought about that really shouldn't so Britain stronger
and
do you know what this what the joke is here
about so about B S E. Yeah, so
the group is called Britain stronger in Europe? Yeah, but
Yes, II Yeah, but BSE Google BSE right now. Now I'll wait.
You have to because I get oh, there it is.
The first five pages are all the same be just be SC
I gotta get a window open. I got the spreadsheet, open but no
window. And so I have to open Google and there it is Google.
And I just type in ESC J and what comes in Cephalo itis or
something based Stock Exchange and Bovine Spongiform
encephalitis? Yeah, that's
Mad Cow Disease. Yes,
Mad Cow Disease.
They call they call their their organisation who wants to keep
keep them in the ESC
BSE? Very funny. You can't
be you can't even know Google juice for that no SEO moron
folks about that really shouldn't. So Britain stronger
in goes either? Absolutely. That's led by Lord Rose. And
they we used to run Marks and Spencers or that one well, but
quite, quite sad. Oh, absolutely. And Spencers. So
he's running the official campaign, then you've got the
Labour Party who are going to do their own thing. They're not
going to join up with the official campaign. Alan Johnson
will do his own thing. On behalf of the Labour Party. Then, of
course, you've got the SNP, who again, will do their own thing.
So So there are three distinct camps who are campaigning for us
to stay in, but they're being funded by Yeah, Goldman Sachs
and JP Morgan, the very people who I suspect many of you as the
labour campaign. Well, that we don't know yet that what we do
know is that they're going to fund the BSE campaign. Labour
are relying on trade unions to fund the campaign but I detected
particularly with T tip this transatlantic deal
The only way she does not dwell in the European Union, that this
is a very important point that Galloway makes, if you don't
like tea Tip Get out of the European Union. Brilliant,
right. And I'm sensing that for the first time in any 40 years,
the trade union movement are beginning to look at this
European project in a slightly different light. So, so labour
may struggle with funding. But that's that side. And yes, it's
backed up to say, by big banks, and the big multinationals and
the multinationals love Brussels, because they actually
get to set the rules themselves.
So these guys are agreeing, hell has frozen over and they agree,
it's interesting to watch this. Faraj brought up a very
important point in the in the Starfleet Command, European
Parliament, when was her his turn to turn to speak? And I
don't think I've told you that there is a referendum coming up
in the Netherlands about the Ukraine. Eu NATO association
agreement, EU Association Agreement,
I either you somebody said something about it somewhere.
And what's interesting about it, it's it really this kind of
group of there was a blog called Chain style, and they were very
politically incorrect. They've been around for a long time a
decade, they somehow spun off into a public broadcaster the
way it works in the Netherlands, still with the Public
Broadcasting System, if you have X amount of paying members then
you are entitled to X amount of airtime, then they not only
achieved that, which is not a lot. It's you know, it's
equivalent to a day a week probably. But they also got the
required amount of signatures to start a referendum by the
constitutional laws of the Netherlands. And so now there is
a real referendum started by some troublemakers. But this is
not the only one it's happening everywhere in Europe and it's
all about the failure of the European Union project and Faraj
address this well thank you it's already rather exciting, isn't
it? It's referendum season. referendum is coming
where he didn't said this clip but worse Is this him with
Galloway didn't know i
said in Europe in the EU Parliament I said that Starfleet
Command EU parliament. Okay, it's his turn to speak and EU
parliament. Well, thank you. It's already rather exciting,
isn't it? It's referendum season. And the referendum is
coming on the sixth of April, in the Netherlands, where they're
going to have a referendum? Yes. So we're here to do check
contingent is random on the Ukrainian deal. And the opinion
polls show they are going to reject it. And just today, Mr.
Orban has announced there is going to be a referendum in
Hungary, where they're going to have a referendum on whether
they should be forced to accept mandatory quotas for migrants,
after the grievous errors of the EU's common asylum policy, not
to mention Mrs. Merkel's pronouncements. And overnight,
we get a check Premier, telling us that there is now demand
building in the Czech Republic for her to have a referendum on
membership. Oh, and I nearly forgot, there's going to be a
British referendum on June the 23rd, or whether we remain or
leave the European Union. And this follows a 40 hour Summit,
with Mr. Cameron, doing his modern day impression of Oliver
Twist, went up to Mr. Tusk and said, Please, can I have some
more concessions, when he didn't get very much did he were
allowed to change ever so slightly migrant benefits for a
short period of time. And we're told that in future we won't be
committed to ever closer union. And on the basis of all of that,
we're going to have a referendum that the Prime Minister says on
a deal that is legally binding, and indeed, Mr. Tusk joined him
with this today by saying the British deal was legally
binding. To top that off, Mr. Cameron has told us that he will
lodge the deal. He will lodge the documents at the United
Nations. But frankly, you might as well launch an old pair of
socks, because it's completely meaningless. The fact that
you've launched a document there, you could use a safety
deposit box. But is this deal legally binding, Mr. Tusk? Well,
the EC J themselves said in 2008, that the obligations
imposed by an international agreement cannot have the effect
of prejudicing the constitutional principles of the
EU treaties, which means the EC Ja Rule in favour of the
existing treaties until we get a new treaty. But he's talking
about the Lisbon Treaty here, which which was supposed to be
the constitution of Europe, and they all got voted down by the
Netherlands and France. And then they said, Oh, you didn't do it.
Right. Let's vote again. That's what to do. And you have to say
there's gonna be a new treaty. Any new treaty will trigger yet
more referendums and would not be favoured, I think, by the big
groups in this Parliament. But of course, we have an emergency
brake. That's being judged to be a great success, but out,
crucially, that happens through secondary legislation that can
be voted on by this parliament. So what happens? We have a
referendum, we follow Mr. Cameron, we vote to remain. And
then we come back to this parliament, is this parliament
going to support British exceptionalism? And I think
we've heard voices today that make it perfectly clear that
that will not happen. So the deal, Mr. Tusk, and Mr. Cameron,
if you're listening is not legally binding in any way at
all. And I have to say, the British public will decide which
is our safest option. Is it safe to stay within an organisation
whose own police boss tells us there are three to 5000
terrorists that have now come into our continent through the
migrant crisis? Or is it safest? To take back control of our own
borders, and our own democracy? After much consideration, I have
decided to opt to vote for us to leave.
kind of explained the situation.
Wow, this is the most interesting thing of our era.
Yeah. And the American public isn't quite as aware of it as
they should be. But this is an outrageous situation. And that's
developing. And you can think and you think about it, you
know, you have a bunch of independent democracies, and
they join to do some sort of trade deal. And then they very
slowly through a process of bureaucratic bureaucrat to
zation boiling frog theory. Yes, running out of Brussels.
This has been going on since after the war with the the
European Atomic Energy Coalition, whatever it was
called,
and going on, right, ever since I've just been a it's a slow and
it's always and it's coordinated by the elites. And of course, I
have my theory as to why that is unelected elites. I might point
out, yes, unelected elites who have been trying to get this so
we can get a Europe that is under their control, and it's
peaceful. So they don't have their stuff stolen, which seems
to happen over and over again.
The elite, the elite stuff, yeah, the elite stuff.
And so it doesn't work out. And there's going to be a civil war
as a result. And I don't even know how this thing if the Brits
voted to get out of the EU that wouldn't trigger it right there.
And if they stay in, it's going to happen anyway. I mean, this
is a foregone conclusion. These people do not work well
together.
No, he's just don't historically, it's not been a
great idea.
Yeah, well, the Swiss who are not even in the EU, EU, they
have their own referendum going on. It's the controversial Black
Sheep poster urging Swiss voters to make it easier to deport non
Swiss petty criminals. The right wing Swiss People's Party is
behind a referendum taking place today. It's notoriously
difficult to get Swiss citizenship. Even for third
generation immigrants born in Switzerland, that ICTR all
foreigners and those who have lived here for over 30 years,
foreigners who were born here, and the second and third
generation, they are all foreigners. A quarter of our
population is submitted to a supplementary punishment, which
the rest of the population does not have this and it is blatant
injustice. It says on the relation, the provisions of the
so called enforcement initiative, conflict with EU
association agreements on freedom of movement. If
accepted, it would create a two tiered justice system, one for
the Swiss, and one for the so called foreigners in many who
have lived in Switzerland since birth, but also damaged Swiss
relations with its most important trading partner, the
European Union.
Yep, there they go. They're taking their typical Switzerland
position as usual. Get everybody out. We're neutral. Kid out,
off. We're neutral. I don't want you around here yet. I'll get
out of it and get out. Get him out of it. Yeah.
Well, if you have enough money, you can easily become a Swiss
citizen. Yeah. I know of a couple guys who did that. And
they are as I know, there's
an extensive and switch.
I don't think it's any more expensive in Switzerland isn't
the rest of the EU. I mean, it's a little Yeah, it's a little
pricey sometimes, but it's not really out of control price is
not like Hong Kong for example. So I don't know. Okay.
Switzerland is clean that much. I can tell you. Yeah. And they
make decent wine. It's kind of a surprise. Nice air. Nice air.
Yeah. And they have three languages, which is kind of
contradictory to all of our beliefs about having a one
language for your country.
Yeah, you need to be need your French you need your Italian and
your Germans is just Swiss Swiss German I think it was a Swiss
German German. Yeah, Swiss
and they make a meatball that's pretty decent
Okay, let me see bad science something and play this
clip. This is they had Tina Fey on this was a Saturday Night
Live as a rerun But Tina Fey doing her. What's her name that
Palin? Oh, Sarah Palin. And there's a moment in there where
they cut to her and she makes this sound.
This was a repeat was a really old one or what was the I don't
know how
old it was. Maybe it was a new one. I mean, I can't get I
didn't notice I just watched this part. And then I turned it
off and went to bed like, What is that sound?
Oh, no. Maybe she was Rubio. She'll just use it a different
way.
Hmm. Yeah. I think there's a keeper.
I think I think I'm gonna wait a minute. Wait a minute. You know
what this needs? Hold on a second. We need this. Hold on.
Okay, here we go. This is this will be in the end montage for
sure. Even though I'm crippled without my device. It's a cool
app is great. It's a cult.
On democracy. Now. They rolled out that guy that that kind of
Chinese character. He's not Chinese. And I don't know why
he's a mixed race, who writes for the intercept. And he just
did this great story about all these shills on TV. They're on
the Hillary campaign payroll. You mentioned earlier about some
of the smart stuff Hillary's doing. And this is I think, one
of the smartest things she's done, because as they bust her
that who reads the intercept and who watches democracy now that
you'd get this, but this is the clip is corrupt pundits. Right.
So that's Stephanie Cutter, and she's being interviewed on meet
the press by Chuck Todd. So lifan Explain what we don't know
when we hear her speak. And she's introduced. Well, cutter
was on meet the press was introduced as a former Obama
campaign official, a Democratic campaign expert, but wasn't what
was what was not disclosed, was that the firm that she co
founded precision strategies, has been retained for consulting
work by the Hillary campaign throughout last year, including
the time that she came on NBC Meet the Press to discuss the
campaign and the state of the race. But you know, this is just
one of many examples. For example, we analyse transcripts
for 50 different segments in which CNN had one of their
contributors, Maria Cardona come on and discuss and largely
praise Hillary Clinton. What wasn't disclosed is that Maria
Cardona, her lobbying firm Dewey square group has multiple
financial ties to their Hillary Clinton campaign. They're
retained by both of the big pro Hillary Super PACs. Maria is a
campaign contributor to the Hillary campaign. She's also a
super delegate that's pledged her support to the Hillary
campaign. But in virtually all of these CNN segments, Maria has
been asked to come on to the air and she's praised the Hillary
campaign, but she's been presented as an objective pundit
who's just, you know, there to discuss the state of the race.
Yeah.
Who is this woman again, John,
Stephanie Cardona and this other cutter woman. There's a decision
but the article in the intercept cites a whole slew of these
people. Yeah, who are being brought on as the talking heads
as objective talking heads when they're all working for Hillary.
And this is like this, the Booker's problem? How did these
people get on in the first place? Who's calling them? For
one thing? You just don't show up on these? No,
I'm sure I'm sure there's no, here's how it goes. You get a
phone call? Hey, hi. Hi. Hi, how are ya? But I'm here over the
Hillary campaign. We've got someone great dynamical look
fantastic. She is she's really going to be good had to just
take her. The Booker goes, good. Give me the phone number. That's
easy.
I hope it's not that bad.
Well, you have you, you placed a lot of value on the production
quality and booking quality of these stations.
Where I just hope it's not that bad. Where somebody calls
directly from the Hillary campaign. She's Oh, she can be
objective.
They do it from the Pentagon all the time. What differences at
this point does it make at
this point? Yeah,
the Pentagon gives.
People shouldn't did. This is why I really appreciate people
who write us notes. And they say, Oh, I can't listen to
mainstream stuff. Any of it. I can't have to listen to you
guys. I can't Well,
good. This is why this is exactly the
reasons why exactly yeah. Yeah, I find it very distressing to
hear that. Then the report did you read this in the intercept
they they're actually doing some pretty good stuff there. I agree
with that line. Like I'm good. The show must move by donate to
no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh
yeah, that'd be fun Yeah, a few people think for sure. wait two
or three starting with Eric Braley and polls Bo Washington.
Great little town. He wants to by the way he wants to planes,
good trains. Bad thing. If you can slip that in at the end.
It'd be great. Okay, others you don't have to know I'm happy to
do that. Borislav Marin? Ah, anyways, 12345 from Eric

leisure leisure Lea su R E and Rick has notes on then he
donated $60 Thank you very much. In the morning, John when I
heard you were coming to Fayetteville wanting to have a
meet up I was really excited. Then I realised I've been
listening for at least seven years and I've never donated
I've always rationalised that it was okay I had quote good
reasons crushing student loan debt no job shitty job cetera.
The truth is I've been a bone for too long and I couldn't look
you in the eye tonight without donating. I know it's a pittance
compared to the value you've provided to me for all these
years I pledged to make up the balance going forward. Big
thanks to you for coming to the meetup. I hope you enjoy
Fayetteville hit me up with any questions you have about the

leisure. Pleasure. Thank you very much Rick. And then one of
our This was his poorly documented you guys need to help
me with the documentation. One of the producers gave me an
original copy the official ballot Palm Beach County Florida
general election November 7 2000. This is the I guess this
is the this a Chad Chad with it yes the Chad and one I have it
here. Uncharted that's free. That's collectible. Beautiful
isn't a very happy with that. Yeah,
that's a very big collectible. It's not worth anything now.
Maybe $1 But it's something that museum will love to get 20 or 30
years from now.
Very nice. Then I also received this like historical stuff
December 2 1987 This is the prescription for world peace and
prosperity it's a pamphlet with head and hands around the world
joined an international sisterhood and brotherhood
brotherhood we the people with a Morse code SOS the messenger I'm
not quite sure what this pamphlet is. Does this ring any
bells John with this thing is
how much he agreed? Well they wrote it well who published it
it's
kind of unclear. This is in this is letters Brian from the I
don't know what this is, man. This is I got to look into that.
I know what that is now. Then someone and I'm sad that I don't
have the name. It was a red envelope with no agenda on it
inside of it was the official Donald Trump Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays Merry Christmas card
from the campaign or one from his family.
This is from the campaign with Make America Great Again on the
Merry Christmas Happy Holidays. We are together going to make
America great again. I love you all Donald J Trump. But inside
the envelope where the cool things besides and I really need
to know who donates is 40 or $50. And they a crisp $100
trillion bill from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. I have a
couple of those. Now the beautiful thing. Any any he
showed it to me I didn't know that it was in the envelope at
me. He apparently went out and made a bunch of these chips that
you put in a greeting card. When you open it up and the card
plays a song or something. Yeah, except that. Yes.
Well, they Yeah, I have a few of those. You can programme. Some
of them.
Right. And this is what happens with this one. Karma so it's
really cool. Yeah, and oh, he won't stop now. Of course. All
that stuff. Yeah, the over the
lighter. Some of us Yeah. Yeah, some sensor photo voltaic thing.
And I I didn't get around to talking to him a little bit more
about it. But I think it's a great little gadget. And he had
I guess he had a bunch of them. And beside didn't do anything
with the project. And I don't know. I don't know. I don't
know. I
guess Sam sent me a couple you know, there's some very annoying
code. I think it was from Guy Nichols. Maybe. Now you'll find
out yeah, I'm sorry. I I want to make that I want to make good on
those. So make sure you give me a holler and I also have a patch
for you, John a patch, which is I think it may even be an iron

There we go. All right today we say, well actually we welcome a
new baby new human resource Jared and Kim Hall wrote in so
congratulations on that let us know what his or her name will
be. Mark Flager celebrated his birthday on the 25th Jake Cowan
says Happy Birthday to his podcasting partners girlfriend,
Madison risco. She turned 18 on February 26. Nicholas Summerall
says Happy Birthday with son Aiden, who will be 12 on March 1
and Daniel Torelli to celebrate his birthday in March 1 as well,
happy birthday, Molly. But here's the best podcast in the
universe. We have a no knighting today, but we do have a title
change or guy Boise with now is a black Baron. I don't know how
he messed it up, but he becomes a black Baron. This is an essay
send a note in the saying he made this level. And then we I
guess we lost in about half. So he's they said that again.
Now I have two clips that kind of tied together from two
different angles, which I wanted to do. And it's the kind of
techniques but not really, that.
I have one tech news piece you want to start to do the tech
news theme.
And that wasn't quite set up for it. But if well, it'll make
sense. If I do I started here, then we'll go into we'll get
into it with you. So I just have I have a little thing, little
little package. Is that okay?
Can we use anyway, I took an isolate. I saw that little
statement you just made it'd be hilarious.
A little package. I have a little package. Okay, let me
see. 239. I got it. Thanks, John. This was on NPR, secretary
of defence of the United States of America. I'm talking about
ISIS and what we're doing. So if
you if I may ask you about that. Because in the course of your
testimony before Congress, you did say that US Cyber Command is
now launching attacks against ISIS. And there would be many
people I imagine out there who would say what, we're not doing
that already. I mean, ISIS, there's this dual front, there
is the battlefield and the air campaign and the war happening
against ISIS in Iraq and Syria and other places. But then
there's the online component. Why is a cyber dimension only
happening now? Well, other parts of our government take action in
respect of law enforcement and intelligence efforts for people,
for example, to plot in the United States, I'm talking about
something different. I'm talking about attacking the ability of
someone sitting in Raka, to command and control ISIL, forces
outside of rocker, or to talk to mozal. Or even to talk to
somebody in Paris or to the United States. So these are
strikes that are conducted in the war zone, using cyber
essentially as a weapon of war, just like we dropped bombs, were
dropping cyber bombs,
cyber bombs, John, cyber bomb, but this is an important thing
he's saying, and I would not have brought this topic up
today. If it weren't for the cyber bomb comment. The couple
people sent me a link to a podcast called The Tech
Syndicate, which is it's, it's actually not a bad show. It's a
bunch of neck beards. You know, then they got the cool glasses.
It's a sysadmins doing a podcast. They say Nick beards
would love obviously. Then they were talking about the Apple
encryption thing as it relates to the Constitution. And upon
hearing, Ashton Carter, just say that these are, if you will,
cyber bombs. It gave me reason to play this short clip.
Justice Scalia just died. And you know, he was sort of famous
for saying that, you know, the Constitution occasionally does
protect criminals just as the way just as it protects ordinary
citizens. And if this goes through, it is a breathtaking
expansion of power. I think that, you know, historically
encryption has been classified as munitions. You know, when
we're talking about Lotus Notes in that era, encryption was
classified as munitions, technically, it still is
classified as munitions, Intel and Intel subsidiary, was fined
for giving strong encryption to some some foreign country that
the US doesn't like, which is the first action like that the
State Department has taken in forever. And that was in 2014.
And so I guess technically, encryption is still classified
as a type of munitions. But our founding fathers, the founding
fathers of the United States, used very strong encryption
encryption that was basically unbreakable in the day, for
private communication and private correspondence to ensure
that and so I think it's not too far off the mark to classify
encryption as munitions. But I think classifying encryption as
munitions also gives you Second Amendment protections as as a
citizen, I have the right to arm myself with encryption.
I thought it was an interesting take.
Like that that theory. I mean, I think he's you know, he when he
mentioned that this has no one's ever pulled the plug on some of
this stuff like they do with Intel in 2014. Right. He implies
that it's never been done before. That's not true. Oh,
okay. There was a lot of that kind of activity in the during
the freakish era of of, of PGP. And yes, yes. The government is
all over this and they are also busted Toshiba for something,
although is hardware related. They were very strict back in
the day. But yeah, I like that. I like the idea that it's
protected by the Second Amendment. That's fantastic.
Interesting, isn't it? I like that a lot. Yeah. Now there is a
bill that was just was introduced last week, which I
have a copy of that relates to relates to all of this. It's
from Ted Leo, you love California, then it just called
the ensuring national constitutional rights for your
private Telecommunications Act of 2016. Better known as it's
always fun to have an acronym, the Encrypt act of 2016. And
this is I had been introduced and it's very short. It has a
couple of sections preemption of state data security
vulnerability mandates and decryption requirements. And
then here it comes. In general, a state or political subdivision
of a state may not one mandate or request that a manufacturer,
developer, seller or provider of covered products or services, a
designer alter the security functions in his product or
service to allow the surveillance of any user of such
product or service or to allow the physical search of such
product by any agency or instrumentality of a state or
political subdivision of a state or the United States or B have
the ability to decrypt or otherwise render intelligible
information that is encrypted or otherwise rendered
unintelligible using his product or service or prohibit the
manufacture sale or lease offering for sale or lease or
provision to the general public of a covered product or service.
Because such product or service uses encryption or a similar
security function. This is a it's almost like almost reads
like a constitutional amendment, because it is a prohibition on
the federal government and the states. They don't know if that
can be done this way. To not outlaw the creation of the
uncrackable device, which is what we've kind of been waiting
for in this thing from Apple, because it appears to be some
kind of pre marketing at this point. And they even talk about
the coverage just a definition the covered product or service.
So this is the device or service or product, which is pretty much
everything you have in in internet of thing land, that may
not be forbidden by the government. So these term these
covered products means any computer hardware computer
software, electronic device or online service that has
travelled in interstate or foreign commerce, or otherwise
affects interstate or foreign commerce and is made available
to the general public. The online service, the term online
service means a service provided over the internet that makes
available to users the ability to send or receive
communications, such as emails, text messages, photos, and audio
and video communications. And then the ability to share data
files, etc. So it's really a prohibition on the government to
allow, the only way I see it is to allow Apple to or any
manufacturer of a device or service to create something that
is 100% completely secure and sold as such. And this seems to
be what it was all about.
That wouldn't surprise me, because it's a marketing tool.
You need to you can get something you know, we can't be
screwed with when it comes to this sort of product, because
we're in these are international companies Apple Yeah. And it has
to sell to some they have to sell to this the Greek
government and they can be worried that there's backdoors,
and all kinds of things, you know, they have to be secure
physicians away, of course, but they lose the market. And but
for me much more interesting is we have never had this kind of
power as the citizens to keep our papers safe. From you know,
search and seizure. Fourth Amendment. But the even though
we heard our tech guys say, well, our founding fathers used
for the time unbreakable encryption. But are we allowed
to have it? That's the question, and they can the citizens have
it? Yeah. You know what I mean, sanctioned as such.
That, well, this has been an issue we've talked about on the
show before because the government doesn't like the idea
because they don't want it because the FBI in particular,
they don't really want to do any work. I heard an interesting
thing is guys, let me get my
phones a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite
with you, that's the only kind of encryption I like, it's time
for tech knows.
So I got my tech nosepiece run it
be as his tech news and here we go from Northern
California Facebook asking do you like something? Or do you
love it? Here's David Wright. Facebook has long acknowledged
the limitations of like,
there are more sentiments that people want to express than just
positivity
or that they like something. So as of today, there are more ways
to react and we have a tremendous problem take that new
game of thrones parody currently making the rounds the greatest
builder is me and I would build the greatest world you have ever
seen. Winter is trumping war it was originally produced for the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation well instead of
thumbs up you could now give it a low or Oh wow. Or haha or even
a sad or an angry I don't think they like me very much a feature
that advertisers like Chevy are already looking to exploit.
Start loving so far, love is the most popular option in general
that is, what's not to like about that. David Wright ABC
News New York Wow. Wow. Wait
He's advertising boneheads actually think that someone
looks on the site and sees a bunch of hearts and smiles and
oh wow and all the other crap by the way this is adding crap to
the elegance of Facebook making it more and more like MySpace
but okay, I will let that slide Do they really think this Chevy
really think oh let's get a lot of these likes and smiley smiley
faces and hearts and there's someone's gonna buy the car
because of that
you know this just shows how desperate they really are. That
just the desperate if that what a way to devalue love that's
what I don't like about yeah, there's that there's the valuing
the emotion of love. Like was already dodgy. Now as I
love the life sucked join us on Facebook and like us love us.
It's on television. They keep saying love us on
Facebook.
Yeah. Anyway, that's my Technogym kill this segment that
segments killed. I'm done done with the tech news. We can
always be played out at one thank you very much.
Good. The landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
One last topic that I want to discuss the Academy Awards are
tonight.
Yes, yes. You mean the the YT awards?
You're not gonna get be able to watch them you'll be on the
road.
Ah, that's not true. We are leaving tomorrow. Then I have
the log. Well, I hope because I tried the login earlier and was
occupied or whatever but
I'm trying to log occupies at termina bathroom.
Now the login log in the system was logging in the toilet. Yes,
sure.
Okay, so they're trying this you know, this this this bullcrap
thing about the white producers, all white actors. I mean,
there's, I mean best directors going to be won by a Mexican.
Okay. And I said, Okay.
You did not just say okay, man. I said, Okay.
The max. You know, the best cinematographers is I think he's
Mexican to somewhat specious for which movie
is this? Is this for the Revenant? Yeah, the retardo
DiCaprio?
Movie retardo. Exactly. ritardo DiCaprio. I've heard that word
before, but it's winter. So they're trying to make hay with
this stuff. And they're all I'm hearing that so PBS, they did a
segment with three boneheads one of them is a black guy as a
professor like a thinker, UCLA, and another one is just an
analyst. And the third person who makes zero sense with
anything she says. It's just like, I listen. And listen, I
don't know what she's saying. It's like somebody, she's asked
the question, like, do you like cheese on your hamburger? Or
not? And she'll say, it's worse than that. So without answering
the question, so it's like citing no proof, everything she
says is a non sequitur. So we'll play her allies. But this is
play these poor guys trying to get make a topic out of this.
And when you listen to any of the arguments, it's like movies
are made are actually small, disposable companies?
Yeah, they're LLCs that never make a profit.
They and they're put together, not at the spur of the moment,
but they're a group of people that work together to produce a
single product for a and that's sold to a distributor sold to a
production company. There's something to get money. And the
whole thing is just and that's done, you don't have a Stepford
Star Wars, that 10 b one shots and done by a group of friends.
I mean, that's what you see in Hollywood a lot. You see these,
these groups, I mean, yeah, if you're in one of the groups, if
you're in the in group, it's a click, like Scorsese, for
example. So I use the same actors all the time. You get a
job you that's how you get into business. You make friends with
these guys at a party. So you I like you, I'm gonna put you in
one of my movies and then you're at all of his movies. But let's
listen to the way they try to describe it as though it's as
though as General Motors are US Steel, that they need to hire
more Hispanics.
Oh, I see. I get it.
I get a new site covering the entertainment and media
industries. And welcome to all three of you. I want to start
with you Darnell. huntin help us first, briefly define the
problem. And what do you see as its source?
Well, what we're dealing with is a disconnect between, on the one
hand, the increasing diversity of American society, we're
almost 40% minority. And on the other hand, the fact that
stubbornly the industry just can't seem to make diverse
projects. And our study, we find it on every front people of
colour, and women are underrepresented behind the
camera in front of the camera. And yet, we also see from
audience consumption patterns that people of colour diverse
audiences crave diverse content. So we have a situation where the
people who are running the industry, and largely white
males, aren't in the position to make the types of projects that
people want. And that's the fundamental issue is trying to
figure out how to bring more people in the room how to get
more voices and vowels into the process. bullshit
is this. If Hollywood knows that there's some people want they
make it. That's total bullshit. So
Alex Nogales, tell us how it plays out. You work sometimes
with the experiences of Latinos and others, what kinds of roles
they get, or don't get, what kind of what they run up against
as writers or directors? Well, they can't even get it. The
opportunities are not there. As Darnell just said, The problem
is that you have 95%, whites in leadership positions at all of
the studios of six Studios here in town, and you have a majority
of them being males. So they rose up in the ranks of this
whole thing called film. And they've made their alliances,
they've made their friendships, they've made their
relationships. And so when it's time to call for new product
that who they call in, man
it's ridiculous to listen to this, because these arguments
are don't understand that what the way any of these businesses
work. That's not the way it is. It's not General Motors, were
there just in the old studio system that used to exist where
it would have to go through the system. I could see this
argument working back then. But it doesn't work anymore. It's
bull crap. Oh, now but and the irony of this is actually
presented in the second clip, which is the woman who doesn't
make any sense. You can listen to her entire spiel, she makes
no sense. She just throws words out. It's like listening to an
insane person. But but she makes one point that's that is I
thought was funny, which is that all the people in the business
are the Hollywood liberals. Yeah, that was
Democrats. Well, Sharon was the industry that you see that you
cover every day is it? Is it about who you know? Is it? Is it
about overt racism or sexism? Is it all about money? What?
Well, I think it's worse than that, because you have a
culturally very liberal entertainment industry,
famously. So in which people are politically very much to the
left, you see that in some of the programming choices and the
messages, whether it's Norman Lear for so many years in the
television that he wrote and heavily influenced American
society, the 70s, or whether you see that with Will and Grace, or
shows like, you know, shows like that, that push the needle
forward on social issues all the time. But it is true, that the
issue that of decision makers, being primarily white and male,
with some notable exceptions, has been the case I do think
that this is essentially a small community of people who come up
together who call on their friends, if you are in a studio
job and you leave the studio job you become a producer and your
buddy then calls you up and asks you for your for your latest
pitches. So here it has to be a more thoughtful a significant
and proactive effort to change that.
Yeah, this is it's it's fun to watch this because the the whole
we need to be equal Black Lives Matter all lives matter white
lives matter brown lives matter. It's coming to a head and
ultimately it's the dollar that matters admin if anyone has any
illusions that any business could do better with diverse
content whatever diversification but they're not because of
racism is not is is dumb
tool they're living in a dream world with Hollywood. Yeah.
You know, you want to get it doesn't make me feel good.
Doesn't matter how you get into Hollywood of saying, Well,
you know, the the upcoming minorities, they want to watch
diverse programming, but they
know diverse content. John diverse coming from diverse
content,
but they pack them in it Star Wars. Yeah. Yeah. Billions of
Ultron. The black guys all time does a billion or $2 billion in
sales. But this is where the wood movies are people are going
to see. Yeah. I mean, it's like, Give me a break. Yeah. And I
just run that stuff just to show they because you could tell the
guy on the news I was struggling trying to get what is the real
complaint here? What's really going on? And he can't couldn't
get it from any of these
people. We're going to we're going to see shakeout of a lot
of things. I've been monitoring what Amazon and Netflix and
Hulu. They're all doing this original content. And what
you're seeing slip into it slowly is diverse content. Yeah.
And I think Amazon is really the the, they're falling for this.
They're falling for this, then I think that people who are
running the Amazon Studios, well, yeah, we need to have more
diverse content and to have this kind do we need more brown?
Pete Amazon Studios is definitely the most naive. Yeah.
And of projects are quite sketchy projects that have had a
couple of interesting ones I believe. But it's not they're
just throwing money away. Yeah. Yeah.
But there's there has to be a shakeout anyway, there just has
to be via Amazon that is through it. But Netflix is also throwing
money away. They're not recouping that, that money and
all those series, but just trying to build market share and
maintain it. So that's hopefully going to help you get a hit.
Yeah. And if then if it
would work better not joining, that's not throwing money away
the way Amazon's doing it.
I'm sorry, yes, you're right, because Amazon has a lot of crap
product. And you see, like that my favourite show Lillehammer
you know, three seasons, I gotta tell you, I was midway in season
two, I'm like, Dan's getting kind of boring. I don't like it.
And then it's done. And it's over. That's how it works.
There's a white guy and everything's just doesn't work
go away.
What are we watching on these things? Now? What do you mean?
What shows? I mean, I will watch the Kimmy Schmidt show. Is that
back on Amazon and all these?
Is that a new season of that?
It's supposed to be on a few weeks. They'll probably plough
through that. I will watch at least I'll start and see how far
I get with 1122 63 which is supposed to be good. I've not
heard about this. That's the that's the show that Hulu's
produced. Everyone's got to get into the Yeah, so they've done
it supposed to be really outstanding, very outstanding,
and everyone likes it. I've gotten some emails talking about
it. I don't know what else I'm gonna watch. I don't know. I
don't see any I mean, I I do watch the comics that Netflix
has comedian specials. We have a comic come out and they do an
hour they do actually do their set. Live and it's much better
stuff than you see on HBO. It's worth looking at seeing these
different comics. I don't know. I'm not that excited. Me
neither. It's still watching NCIS think just the best
structure shown on television.
I only have like bummer stuff. But clip wise. I don't want to
end the show with bummer stuff. The end, but I will tell you on
Thursday. There's a pedo bear stuff happening with the big
distraction being the the Savile report of 1000 pages Meanwhile
in Rotherham, but actually I probably should play this. This
is a big distraction right now. And all the all the talk in the
United Kingdom's of Gitmo nation East is predominantly about the
Jimmy Savile abuse and the BBC and it's 1000 page and that's
what the big news is I've received from several of our
producers, some of them actually kind of rude, like Well, I'm
sure you won't cover this you don't go for but it should be
for AIM aim guide. Yes, it took me No, no, I stayed on. I said,
I'm asking questions. But tell me what are the what is this
about? Oh, but you will you'll probably just do the sample
stuff anyway. And then finally I say don't be such a dick. Tell
me what you're trying to communicate. I have no time for
playing around at 12 midnight, the night before the show give
me some give me some information. So it is important
to play at least these two clips short ones just so you get an
idea and I'll do more research on people to help me more so in
Rotherham, the Rotherham in the UK several years ago. There were
a lot of accusations and the turned out that the city council
that they were running a huge prostitution A racket with young
girls in the town the cops were in on it. It's insane. An end to
boot. This was a click of the term that this will be the wrong
term because they have like Rotherham, Rotherham in the UK.
Yeah, I don't know. I haven't looked it up.
I'll look it up on them they
have what they call it your Pakistani heritage or something?
I don't know. I'm not familiar with the terms people are going
to start helping me.
But this is Pakistani town. But I know if it's a Pakistani town,
but the the the city council, this words for Pakistani
heritage and whatever, but that that may not be the main idea.
But now we know we've had this report. And that turns out it
was horrendous. 1000s of girls were trafficked by these
assholes. And this is the stiff upper lip of the British. Here's
a minister Member of Parliament Sarah champion from Rotherham.
Here's how she responds to it in America Of course we'd be we
we'd have lynchings that we get these guys and we're tying them
from then you're killing them at this point. Now here's the
bridge deal with it. Absolutely. Can you hear this at all? Was
that too boomy bass really hard to hear? ah screw that I'll play
the instead of her I'll play
I will mention now Rotherham, which is in South Yorkshire.
Yeah, the rotation child in the Wikipedia is got a good rundown
on it. Look up Rother, ham, R O th e r h, a m child sexual or
anything and you'll get it.
So go to the show notes and watch the video of the MP. But
here I have the spokesman for the National Crime Agency. The
unsure exactly what that's equate? Yes.
It went from 1997 to 2013. Yes, yes.
Then here's the spokesman for the National Crime Agency.
I was shocked by what I found in Rotherham, in part because the
local authority when we inspected it was still in a
state of denial really about the size of the problem that they
were dealing with. And that what they had to do to go about
taking appropriate action. In the inspections view, in my
view, they continue to let children down. By so doing they
let the roles of the residents of Rotherham down as well. And I
feel that in order to get their house in order, they need
significant help from central government. And that's why I
proposed to the secretary of state that they go into quite
significant levels of interventions. I mean, I think
the issue here is that Rotherham has essentially not faced up to
some very difficult truths, not looking after children
effectively not dealing with an issue of ethnicity in all
circumstances to do with the race of people that perhaps
perpetrate child sexual exploitation. These are very
difficult things to handle, I admit that, but nevertheless,
they need to face up to it and they should be doing a better
job. My view is overall the council is not open to
uncomfortable truths and needs help in order to basically get
its house in order and do the residents of Rotherham a better
job than it's currently happening.
It's unbelievable. This is so downplayed, but meanwhile,
there's like 40 Cops are under investigation, then everyone's
distracted with the Jimmy. The services of a Savile Yeah,
that would keep your attention. Let me give you the background
early and mid 90s social workers came across exempt 90s Sexual
Child child by the way, 11 years old and mid to young people
bring traffic to a prostitution ring in Rotherham, a Youth
Project risky business, working with people between the ages of
11 and 25 was set up in 1997 when this all began in 2002, a
chapter of draft Home Office report child sexual exploitation
in Rotherham reported high prevalence of young women being
coerced and abused through prostitution they did bust a
couple guys like 10 years later and these guys all I don't want
to generalise because I don't know what the but the ethnic
makeup of the town is but if you the names that came up zaf Fran
rams Zan Adil Hussain motion con goes on and on with the with the
kind of Arab Arabic names and just the whole thing this is
gonna this is gonna be a mess.
Yeah. But it's it's being downplayed quite a bit by by the
mainstream media Well of course you know they have they have a
hand in this because when you look at the whole scope of it,
but the Member of Parliament when she said this could affect
a million a million like a million children across all of
the UK it's too bad just can't hear it. It's too boomy, but i
Everyone needs to go see what this woman is saying. So this is
really insane. And then the last thing just because another thing
if you're going into the show notes 803 dot no agenda
notes.com Look for under caliphate. Look for the Nazi
under Shut up slave. I'm sorry. That's where it is. There was a
protest at one of these asylum seeker centres in the
Netherlands is what they call them asylum seeker centre. And
the Dutch are there and they're protesting the saying, Hey, we
don't want any more of these migrants coming in. bandits it's
a peaceful protest although be out there, they're gonna get in
riled up. The cops come in, and there's two people who are
wearing like kind of hats, Willy material, but these hats are a
pig's head on the top and the ears are kind of flopping down
over your ears. And the cops say to them to these two protesters
do you have to take the hat off? And one lady doesn't? The other
guy says no, and say why should I take it off? So it's insulting
to to the migrants, and you have to take it off to know I'm not
going to take it off. They arrested him. They arrested him,
John. Yeah, uh, rested in,
but you're not following the rules. You're now obeying. Yeah.
Zuckerberg has admitted that Facebook will be doing even more
to police hate speech against the refugees, particularly in
Germany as Angela Merkel requested, we're going to be
doing more and there's rumour now. There's rumour that if you
certainly if you're a journalist, and you write
something negative about the migrant situation in the
European Union, there is rumour that I'm trying to get it
confirmed that people are losing their verified status on Twitter
and Facebook for saying this.
He was no loss to you. I love it. I love it. And there's
another little line here. This is interesting. Because of the
most did I'm reading a page because most of the perpetrators
were of Pakistani heritage and as a Pakistani heritage thing.
Yeah. Several Council staff describes themselves as being
nervous about identifying the ethnic origin of the
perpetrators for fear of being thought racist. Yep, this is a
real a real funny problem. If you think about it, and this
will be interesting I have to have now now you got me
interested in being your right is suppressed. I never heard of
this. There's a big wiki page on it.
So even though the approach of our producers is somewhat odd, I
really appreciate it. Thank you for bringing this to our
attention. This is why we are the best podcast in the
universe.
Yeah, most people wouldn't they just shut these people out. Oh,
yeah. Oh yeah. Get rid of they have good material once in a
while.
Great material. And I would be remiss if I did not to tell
everyone about the big Kraft macaroni and cheese recall. Oh,
no bad news. Yeah, they're the recalling or is it here? I think
they're recalling 5 million the what do you call it? Not
packages
packs of packs. It's like powdered cheese. And this would
be bad stuff. I mean, this stuff is desiccated nothing can grow
on it.
Well, apparently Oh, as I'm looking for the for the article.
Apparently there's some kind of cancer causing metal that got
into these. It's so bad. Is is is really bad here. I got those.
I got the story here. Kraft recalls. Here we go. 242,000
cases equaling 6.5 million boxes of macaroni and cheese are being
pulled off the shelves because they may contain metal
contamination. And then of course, which boxes you need to
do and let me see if it tells us what that is. Hmm. They are not
telling us what the metal contamination is
probably from a grinder. But the oh here it is.
Now this is this is a weird now this article did something weird
because this article then comes in with something saying, Oh, be
careful for the red food dyes. Okay, that's not really fair
what they did spirit science, but the recall is apparently
real for metal filings. Nice. Nice, nice, nice, very tasty.
And
I was listening to one of the later in the day. Right Wing
talk shows. And this guy came on and he says that Comey,
Director of director FBI
Comey of the FBI, and this may apply to or, you know, the guy
who got busted for the photo, the embassy bus photo archive is
being examined. Oh, yeah. So yeah, a lot of stuff. Subtle
stuff going because Comey is about to indict Hillary. That's
the word. They're gonna put up an indictment and they're gonna
give it to the Justice Department who will table it and
that will be followed by commies resignation. Oh, because he's
planning on this. He's planning on being tabled. He knows it's
not going to get anywhere makes sense. It's going to result in
commies resignation and a huge scandal.
Oh my goodness. And what when the scandal is going to be what?
over the over the over the female diamond and not doing
anything and. And Loretta Lynch not doing it. And Obama being
somehow connected to this you know cover up I don't know it's
just speculation but I thought it was entertaining spec I like
that very good. I think the Democrats are freaked out about
Hillary yeah she's a powder keg I mean anything can happen
before the election ends. Anybody could get in on a
Republican
I used to go pick up the the truth. You know what the truth
is? Right. The
truth. Yeah, the National Enquirer.
They hear it is the headline Bill Clinton health crisis on
the campaign trail. Ah, if they have picture after picture of
Bill looking dead, the I'm sure they do and Hillary see it on.
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is under a new strain
as the former first lady sees her husband turning into a
liability shocked political insiders or take talking about a
different Bill Clinton on the campaign trail this year, with
cranky Clinton even telling a former Marine to shut up and
listen. Sometimes it seems dazed to the veteran journalist
following the campaign. Sometimes he just seems tired.
And sometimes you get the feeling of wants Hillary to lose
the nomination of this old thing. It'd be over. Oh, my
reasonable analysis. Yeah.
Well, it's still possible. I'm still holding on to that. Sorry,
but Bill is not going to make 2017
I think is I think the odds are very high. Yeah. Yeah. Which is
gonna get her all the sympathy vote and she'll be fine.
And just wow, Amanda's this is going to be breaking this week.
So I want to make sure we get on it. Melissa Harris Perry, that
sometimes I play clips of her this annoying woman on MSNBC.
Yeah. If I just live we would probably have tonnes of clips of
her that we play but she's always black lives matter. Let
me see. She's smug. She's very smug when we see my lists. It
we've had looting and violence. But the The New York Times
showed to Malika he jobs, she's always about the quality. And
she is a she's a professor. And she wrote an open letter that
she said she had someone published on medium, an open
letter that she sent to her nerd crew, which I guess is what she
calls her, the her the production staff for her show
about her disappointment. Then what has happened is that first
of all, don't MSNBC as crap ratings, and they're in trouble.
And they brought the guy back from the broadcast board of
governors who was in charge of propaganda for of the United
States to the world, that he had to leave and come back to save
MSNBC. And during these, this is now the place for politics.
That's our new slogan. And it's all day long. It's the liar.
What's his name? The liar guy.
Liar guy. Cruz, no,
the under the news guy. The liar guy, Brian Williams, Brian
Williams, of Brian Williams. They did around the Brian
Williams Rachel Maddow. And they've flown Melissa Paris
Harry in to be there. But her show has been preempted because
of the election coverage. And and she's been she's gotten
really, really angry and penned the following No, which I need
to share that motion say up front, that this is television,
you know, you have a show and he's doing great or whatever you
think he's doing great. But you get preempted sometimes, and
they bore you with changes or maybe the it's not working out.
It does happen. That she writes. As you know by now, my name
appears on the weekend scheduled for MSNBC programming from South
Carolina this Saturday and Sunday. I appreciate the many of
you responded to this development with relief
enthusiasm to know that you've missed working with me even a
fraction of how much I've missed working with you all is deeply
moving. However, as of this morning, I do not have any
intention of hosting this weekend because this is a
decision that affects all of you. And I wanted to take a
moment to explain my reasoning of some unknown decision maker
presumably Andy lacquer, Phil Gryphon. These are the these are
the big guys at the network. This added my name
mentioning them in a note Oh, yeah. That it was smart
to her staff which she specifically said please publish
has added my name to this spreadsheet, but nothing has
changed in the posture of the MSNBC leadership team toward me
or toward our show. Putting me on air seems to be a decision
being made solely to save face, because there's a growing chorus
of questions from our viewers about my notable absence from
MSNBC coverage. Social media has noted the dramatic change in
editorial tone and racial composition of MSNBC on air
coverage. There's the first she's blacking the case. I
didn't mention that. Yes. In addition, Dylan Byers of CNN has
made repeated inquiries with MSNBC. leadership and with me
and with me about the show and what appears to be its
cancellation. I have not responded to reporters or social
media inquiries. However, I am not willing to appear on air in
order to quell concerns about the disappearance of our show
and our voice. Here's the reality. Our show was taken
without comment or discussion or notice in the midst of an
election season off the air. After four years of building an
audience, developing a brand and developing trust with our
viewers. We were effectively and utterly silenced. Now, MSNBC
would like me to appear for four inconsequential hours to read
news that they deem relevant without returning to our team,
any of the editorial control and authority that makes MHP show to
so distinctive.
And then emphasis on the word stink.
And then the kicker the purpose of this decision seems to be
provide seems to be to provide cover for MSNBC not to provide
voice for the nhp show. I will not be used as a tool for their
purposes. I am not a token, a mammy or little brown
bobblehead. I am not owned by lac Gryphon or MSNBC. I love our
show. I want it back. I have wept more tears than I can count
and I find this deeply painful but I don't want back on the air
at any cost. I'm only willing to return when that happens under
certain terms. So she played the race card
unbelievable everything she did there was wrong.
You know and just explain the television you get fired you get
preempted you get moved around no one gives a shit about you
know, one that network that doesn't only care about ratings,
but when when what was the
moron they don't even care about ratings. At the moment
that Ed Schultz gets fired he went to RT to the you know, the
the hellhole
news. Yeah. moved to the Yukon
did he say Well clearly, you know, they they had too many
white people on the air. Yeah, this is so wrong. This is this
shit has got to stop.
Stop after the Academy Awards, at least for a little while.
You think so that we're in for a long haul on this bullcrap.
John, I'm sad to say. I'm sad to say
all right, well, let's I think everyone caught up. Yeah,
I think we're done very good. Ah, groovy.
And you're gonna have a nice drive. You're gonna go through
van you're gonna go through Van Buren. You're gonna try that.
Boasting or just you're near I didn't know. I was think
Fayetteville south, but it's up to up the top there. You're up
by the Ozarks near Missouri. To get back home you'll almost damn
near have to go through Van Buren.
Yeah, that's the plan. Yeah,
that's the snack gonna go to the wine country, though.
We'll see. I mean, the problem is, of course, it's eight hours
at least drive by wouldn't
if you don't if it's gonna be too much work. Don't do it. It's
beautiful. But forget it. Well, Van Buren you're getting we will
be coming back up here because the kids got four more years. So
I'm sure we'll be here again. And I look forward to and I want
to thank everyone who was here at the meetup. Thanks for being
so kind. Thanks for good time. It was fun. Nice to meet all of
you very intelligent, fun, diverse group. And coming to you
