The brainwashing that's going on in this country is frightening.
Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, March 13 2016. And time once again for your Gitmo nation
media assassination episode 807.
This is no agenda wading through a cloud
of vapour tracking the douchebags at South by Southwest
and broadcasting live from the capital the drone Star state
here and FEMA Region six eight in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's raining and the ants
are on the move. And John C. Dvorak.
Ants are on the move on. Oh, man. Oh, yes. What are we going
to do when the answer on the move? Is Bad over there in
northern Silicon Valley?
I got ants.
Oh, didi. Well, no. As long as like a minute, minute and a
half. And a show.
I got a little ringer.
Oh, you got this energy. This energy chime.
Yeah. Yeah. Turn it up. Turn off the noise. Good. I'll play for
you.
Okay, hold on a second. And in 321. Wow. Yeah, that was nasty.
Is it's it's piercingly annoying. It's the thing, even
though it's not loud. I don't think maybe it is in decibels.
But it hurts. Yeah, it has a certain frequency. Yeah, it's
a certain painful frequency. And the thing is that all these
things is just as a piece of tubing. Not to thing but a
metal. It's a piece of steel. Steel is nothing. It's steel.
Right. I think it's steel. Is it? I
don't know what it is.
Yeah, we got an email. I got the
triple one and doesn't make the NBC sound which had been cool.
I got an email from our producer, Matt. Adam want to
throw my two cents concerning the chime. He's talking about
this energy chime. My wife works in childcare. And it's currently
teaching preschoolers three to five years old. She has been
using the chime for years with loads of success. I was visiting
once. This is what you don't do when you're when you're visiting
your wife. At school. I was visiting once and rang the
chime, not knowing what it was instantly doesn't tiny little
heads focused in my direction. They sat patiently waiting for
me to speak. My wife interjected saying we only ring the chime if
we have something to say. It's Pavlovian. It's fact it works.
It's great.
There's something pathetic about it.
Yeah. In fact, that was used at all.
It's well, not only that, but I forgot who how this came up with
it. I had it at the dinner table. And so everybody's
banging. And
you're a horrible father.
I forgot which.
We have to have dinner with dad again, Dan. Mu noisemakers. We'd
love to have
all these all these millennials are coming anytime there's free
food. That's for sure. And they're not
ashamed to say it either. I'm here for the free food. You
don't mind?
One of them. I don't remember which which person said that
they their teacher used to use this one of these devices and
one of your millennials? Yes. There was I don't know. We I
think that you mentioned I can't remember which one but oh, yeah,
that's that's pretty common in some school setting of some sort
that thing. Like it was no big deal.
I have to tell you that. I was watching some of the arguments
going on outside the Trump rally in Chicago. And I was like, I
have somebody like a 20 or half hour video of Well,
unfortunately, what it comes down to is not Bernie Hillary
versus Trump as he turns into black versus white. And when I
want to just hear these, and they're all Millennials arguing.
My heart drops. They there is no way they can see each others or
respect each other's opinions. It's ruin these children or
ruin. They don't know how to do it anymore. It's just it's all
in fact, gonna save
time. We just got we brought it up. And there was a little
debate about that. Everyone's kind of reconfirmed it. That
Millennials can't tell somebody not to cut in line.
Right. Exactly. Yeah. Because it's not you know, they're
afraid to, but most millennials won't cut in line anyway.
No, this is true. So it works out fine. If it's just a world
of a millennials.
I have a great millennial clip actually. So part of all the
controversy going on and we have to make sure I don't forget, I
remember to talk about South by Southwest and Obama. But this
reporter from Breitbart, what's her name Michelle fields, I
think,
who's the Notorious attention getter. Yeah, she's a complaint.
I liked her. She's pointing at her arm, look at the bruise,
there's nothing there.
So she so she said, Well, I got no jank down by Trump's campaign
manager and, you know, look at my bruise and I was abused,
abused, and she's doing interviews now everywhere and I
have the audio of the full event. Of what happened now we
don't have video of there's no photos of the event, sadly,
which is so odd, considering these are the most covered
events of our day. But okay, that listen to her distress and
the horror, when she is abruptly yanked, and grabbed so hard and
bruised by apparently Trump's campaign manager.
Mr. Trump, you hear the latest Scalia for affirmative action.
Do you still are you still against affirmative action?
Thank you just like you just didn't have like was that for
you? Yeah. Like, where do you that wasn't saying you should
have felt how have you asked me?
Oh, my gosh, I've never had my story. Yeah, go for it. That was
really awful.
She's so shocked and so hurt. She says clean blue dots. Can I
put that in my article? Ya go for it.
really odd fully. Well, they made a big fuss about on ABC,
that's for sure. You can add to it woman on did you get clips?
Yeah, I got a Yamas Breitbart incident. Okay.
We just heard so we just heard what happened. And you can ask
if you really hear you and she doesn't even know if this was
that. What's the guy's name Cameron or something?
Well, the guys hear this. You got to just listen, guys. Yeah.
And now the Trump campaign dealing with the police
investigation. Michelle fields from the conservative news site.
Breitbart, accusing Trump campaign manager, Corey
Lewandowski of battery draining. Lewandowski grabbed her so hard,
her arm bruised.
The thing is you don't grab a female reporter any reporter you
don't grab them the way that he grabbed me.
Lewandowski calling fields delusional the Trump campaign
calling the accusations entirely false. Did you know him? Well,
that's
everything. Um, so Willie happens to be right here. I can
tell you I don't see him doing that in
a million years. Okay, now, the line was I know him so well.
He's standing right here. The guy is standing right next to
Tom Yamas. As Yamas has got the mic at on Trump talking to
Trump. That guy is right there. He couldn't turn. I'm talking
and I mean, literally right next to him. Well, we can do that.
Let's turn and ask the guy directly when he's talking to
Trump. The stupid his report I have ever seen
this. Oh, man. It was very, very funny. And I just love this girl
when she shows up on this I was abused battery, and you can hear
it there's no distress. Like, can you believe he pulled me out
of the way but yeah, reporting is sometimes a rough and tumble
a hustle and bustle job.
And you believe he pulled me out of the way. I'm charging
battery. Pull me out of the way your big bully
Hold on a second. Hold on. Hey, Michelle, what's your name?
Michelle. Michelle fields Hello, Michelle. Trump should just use
one of these at the beginning of all of his rallies and see all
the good
done a good job I think this whole of the this violence thing
that's going on which was discussed to to an extreme. And
Chicago Of course he couldn't even do is rally there. And they
they had, what they've done is that he says he draws his huge
crowds that they've got to stop this because the guy is very
personable at these events, as you know, because you've been to
see this Yeah. And so they can't they've got to stop these events
if someone's gonna get hurt. Well, they got to Well, no, I
don't think anyone's gonna get hurt. Trump in the beginning
Well, yeah, there's always that but in the beginning, but I
think that they want to just stop these events. They want to
they just have to stop Trump. I mean, this is the live this
coming Tuesday.
We cannot have any more big events. Stop the
big events and by just putting in Asia all junk provocateur do
the Chicago thing was dynamite.
I got I got Trump on this actually. You just turn on the
TV and just have the recorder ready and there's always
something on this guy. Here we go.
We cannot let had our first amendment rights be taken away
from us. Okay.
Mr. Trump, your first amendment rights have nothing to do with
this. Nothing. This is not the government stopping you. This is
not that the government is prohibited from from this. I
understand what you're saying. But no, that's incorrect. We
cannot
let our First Amendment rights be taken away from us, folks. We
can't let it out. We can't let it we have a right
to hold. Listen. About the jump provocateur. I got the clip.
We have a right to speak. I mean, we are law abiding people.
We're people that worked very hard. Were people that have
built this country and made this country great. And we're all
together and we want to get along with everybody. But when
they have organised professionally staged wise guys
gotta fight back. We've got to fight back.
And he's correct.
I agree. That you guys are there's a lot of Muslims
involved in the protest.
Well, you know that, you know, the Sanders, the Bernie Sanders,
one of their organising entities, I'll just call it
that. On Twitter, even said, Hey, congratulations, everybody.
Just remember this was not by coincidence. There were 1000s of
people involved in this in this what we did today.
Yeah. Sanders behind it. I don't know why. I don't know why
either Hillary be behind it.
I mean, before you I know you have clips, just have the four
people who maybe missed it, because it's been chopped down
now into such small pieces. This is about 45 seconds of CNN live
when it started to kick off, and it wasn't Yeah, it was, you
know, hustle and bustle, tumble rumble. You know what happens
when you particularly on a university campus flees simply
rocking back and forth. Bernie, as my camera just stand back
over you can see this large section of protesters I was
referring to earlier there now shouting Bernie Bernie.
Obviously in support of Bernie Sanders, Aeron, I've just never
seen anything like this. This place has just erupted.
Never seen anything. Have you ever watched the LA basketball
team win? Douchebag Have you ever seen that in your life?
Donald Trump people on the other side of the arena yelling Trump,
Trump Trump. The Security does not have a handle on the
situation here. It is total chaos.
This is a pretty terrifying thing. We're gonna keep these
pictures up. We're gonna keep listening. Jim's gonna come in
every time. You know, something, something happens there. That
they don't have this under control. The police department,
the fire department, the Secret Service, this was cancelled at
the last second is a pretty stunning statement about the
situation that this is happening
last night is Tina and I are watching MSNBC who cut live to
Trump in where was he last night? It doesn't matter. They
show this five hour videotape of what happened in Chicago and you
just keep this loop. It's like a 15 second loop of some guy. And
they're pouring water on his face until Oh, there's rumours
of someone got shot with pepper spray, but it's all protesters.
It's all protesters who are getting arrested and are from
what I can see starting. Yeah, it's protesters this well
organised as well done. Yeah, they can't have any more of
these huge Trump rallies. I mean, it's Nuremberg rallies.
I'm sorry. What am I saying? Nuremberg rally like
to equate it with those winning guy. There's a long story about
him. But I only have a small clip of his analysis after the
fact. CBS seems to be getting I'm a little pro ish pro Trump
ish. Because this blogger that CBS had him is arrested CBS. CBS
is going to bloggers now. They have they have a blog. Okay,
good, good, good. It's you know, it's one of those and for more
information, go to our blog, CBS doc blah blah, blah.
It's you mean it's the Robert Scoble of CBS. Okay, gotcha.
So this Robert Scoble of CBS guy got knocked to the ground, the
boot boot on his throat. They had most of the film by a
different reporter. And as he was filming his guys getting
beat up, most protesters get beat up by the cops. And so that
goes to Zephyr and so so they they go through the show, the
whole thing on the regular on the national news is, it's not
that interesting, cut all that out. And I just went right to
the guys little analysis. At the end, a blogger himself comes on
the air Mondays and he says these things. And one of the
apparently he has been following the Trump campaign all along, so
he knows what these what these rallies are like.
So pan DAB says Trump's rallies have grown more hostile.
There have been protests going on at Donald Trump rallies for
months and months and months. This is nothing new. However,
there's definitely been a recent uptick. I have certainly never
seen anything like last night. That was unprecedented. There
have been other groups of coordinated protests that past
rallies, but nothing as massive as what I saw last night.
You can see Suppan Debs fooling.
Okay, so, so the guy has been you made the observation, which
is what everyone? So the thing is Joe could gone out of
control. Now, the thing that's interesting to me is that the
analysis, people like to equate Trump with Hitler and the brown
shirts and all the rest of it. Now who sent these guys in?
Yeah, to disturb and bust up a Trump rally to the point where
Trump never even showed up is Bernie Sanders. This is the
brown shirt.
It is a page out of the playbook.
Yeah, that's what it was to not see here. Now. Sanders comes out
and he he says those, there's just not it's not nothing I did.
I know.
I know. Now here's the clip. That's kind of wraps it up a
little bit. This is the
let me let me do something before you wrap it up. I have a
Katy Tur report. Your favourite girl you gotta Katie
turd report.
I gotta turn before me the past few weeks past week and a half
or so. Their hand this is the girl who
has been at Trump hates Trump is she's in charge of following him
on the campaign trail. She's from NBC only
the past few weeks past week and a half or so. There has been a
lot more tension at these rallies a lot more violence. And
when Omarosa says it is just one protester who's done this, or
Mr. Trump says that it's just one means I was accused me
supporter who's who's punched a protester. I have to take issue
with that, because we've seen a number of occasions where
protesters have been roughed up by Trump supporters. So the idea
that it's just one guy acting out of bounds is just frankly,
not true. And I tried to press him on his tone and his rhetoric
at these rallies. And Jake Tapper did during the debate as
well,
we really tried to tone it down we are the policemen of
political correctness have felt
at times me and the other reporters in the room, that we
are on the precipice of something potentially very bad
happening,
good. This is where you want to be as a journalist. So it's not
just what you want to do isn't that you want to be right there
with the action
of something potentially very bad.
That's why I went to the Trump rally. I was ready today.
So it's not just one person, it happens very frequently, and
it's happening even more. So I also asked Mr. Trump, as you saw
about this Michelle fields incident and his campaign
manager, his campaign manager has been extraordinarily
antagonistic towards the press this entire time. Clearly, he
did not like that line of questioning. So far, there has
not been video yet to prove any of her allegations. But there is
an audio clip that's out there. And she has posted a video of
bruises on her arm, she's, well, we heard the audio clip the real
audio clips and even asked Mr. Trump, what he would say if that
was his daughter, but so far, when it comes to pushing back on
the campaign in any way, or trying to get them to admit that
maybe at times, they've gone a little bit too far, they have
not done that. In fact, I spoke to somebody who's very close to
this campaign earlier today. And he said that they basically
thought that quarry was a ticking time bomb and they were
hoping that the campaign manager that he didn't go overboard that
nothing like this happened, but they're not surprised that these
allegations have surfaced from this Breitbart
character assassination. Let's use that isn't a good Holy crap.
I know well, you know, you can go back to that that audio clip
and I think if you reposted it and you have our scream kind of
dropped Oh,
this is a very good idea. Let me Yeah. Yeah, and we'll post it as
the official audience.
Here the late Scalia for affirmative action do you still
are you still against affirmative action? Thank you
wait, it was too early too
early. Too early. Hold on. It was a good spot. I
was I think it was a little too early home. I was alright just
as ditch complete, we just did that.
The screen makes it work.
I'm gonna I'm gonna post that. I'm gonna post that we should do
it and maybe like it we'll do it in a different way. If we do it
like this. John, I was I'm so so so disturbed and disgusted by
what happened to the bright bird Carl Michel field. Did you hear
what happened to her? I
heard the crap out of her.
Just listen, I got the audio here. Why, why? Listen to this
where she really goes out for her. Thank you. Here he goes.
He's touching her. Oh my God. John. Can you believe that?
Let's play this is the one that this is this I don't I didn't
clip Bernie going on saying it's not me I didn't do nothing. But
there's the this is the Tom Yamas there's another Tom Yamas
thing from ABC on Trump violence because it to me the whole this
whole bit let led me to a punch line to this. This
clip honest with you, it adds to the flavour. But lately that
flavour red hot in North Carolina on Wednesday of
protesters sucker punched and knocked to the ground
at that guy I found out was 78 years old. Yes,
he's a very few. I think they reported his age on ABC. But
democracy now. Sorry, was that your punch like a young punk?
He's a 78 year old guy with a ponytail.
I'm sorry. Was that your punch line? Because I feel bad about
it. Then I didn't realise Of course. It was. The guy is 70.
And he's apologised. He's very sorry. You know, when you're in
a crowd, this is almost human behaviour, which proves that
when people are all riled up in the 78 year old got all pissed
off? Yeah, but yeah, it's not like some young millennial punk,
punched and knocked to the ground. police arresting 78 year
old John McGraw Trump's saying today, there are instances where
his crowd should fight back.
And when I said like that, right, bang, um, that was a
very, very, very, you know, who's a guy who's swinging very
loud, and then started swinging at the audience. And you know
what, the audience swung back. And I thought it was very, very
appropriate.
His rival,
Senator Marco Rubio pointing the finger at Trump for the
violence, there's
only one presidential candidate who has violence at their
events.
That's because there's only one presidential candidate that has
anyone at their events.
Bingo, boom, shock. I'll give you an in the morning for that.
Now, the debate itself, will just circle back to that for one
second was we could have predicted this, Trump went
completely the opposite direction, kept everything nice
and civil. And it really disturbed everybody there. And
if you if you really read a thrill through the flow, of
course, and if you listen to what NBC said, well, the
sizing display of civility at the Republicans final debate
before next Tuesday's high stakes primaries. It was a
striking turnaround from their 11 previous clashes
for the Republicans turns out the 12th time's
the charm. So far, I cannot believe how civil it's been up
here. Instead of
insults Finally, a substantive battle over immigration, trade
and foreign policy. I have to say I was stunned because this
race, Donald Trump is four days away from putting this race
away. And to see Cruz and Rubio just sort of take a pass again,
I get what Kasich is doing. It's been working for him. But the
other two while I understand they didn't want to go in the
gutter. They sort of they may have overcorrected here.
Wait a minute. Am I understand that NBC said hey, hey, hey,
hey, a little more of the little more of the rough stuff. People
This is boring. Didn't you just say that?
I'm sorry. Yes. They over they overcorrected.
He said they they overcorrected?
I don't know You know, this whole thing at that level is
just beyond me what to think and I have no idea
how they're thinking boring. No ratings is what they're
thinking. Well, they
saw the No What happened was as soon as it started, I watched
the whole thing. I couldn't get it. I got a couple of clips. I
gotta come up. I got a couple clips. I
got a couple they they're good. You can use yours. Okay, so I
didn't see anything worth clipping but they I was watching
it and it was very civil. And Trump waited his turn. You see
the guy you you see the guy say something that you know, Trump
wanted to jump in and say you're full of it. And no, no, I just
stood there waiting because he knew is going to be next because
the guy mentioned his name, and that's the rules. So they went
to Trump and then Trump blasted him and then they the other guy,
you know, came it was about halfway through it. I can see
people tuning out if I could sense I could field that you
could hear the Lord like turning this thing off. It was a turd.
Yeah, of course.
And that was his point, I think. Now before we go any further I
need to read an email very important because these emails
are not uncommon these days, Adam, I'm writing to out myself
as a douchebag. I've listened to the no agenda show for the past
six months or so and have found aspects of it really refreshing
and entertaining. So he's been enjoying the programme for six
months.
Now is a big but sadly, sadly, sadly, whoa,
I know this is a bit dusty. But is this hurt me or this hurt me
just hurt me. Sadly shows in recent weeks have forced a
decision and I won't be listening any longer. It's like
Hillary fan. If I did carry on then I would definitely have
thrown you a few quid.
Oh sure you would
It's just that you love that they
do this is like I am no longer subscribing to your publication
My favourite thing of course is a PC Magazine and you can look
them up in the database get wasn't a subscriber Yeah, this
is the oh Lo I'm going to give you some money if you didn't
offend me somehow I'm sorry I'm interrupting go
on. It's just that you do have an agenda, the hill that guy
have an agenda guy I get those letters every so often.
The Hitler Trump idiocy irritates me as much as you but
we have to acknowledge that the guy has said and done some
pretty stupid shit. As much as I enjoy the report and intelligent
analysis between you and Dvorak. The persistent softness on DJ dj
t has become too much. I'm out. Having said this, I haven't
enjoyed many of your shows and not given you a penny. I'm sorry
for this. In the future. I may once again wash up on your
internet broadcast shores and pay you for your hard work and
obvious talent. overboard. I told him I said congratulations
on being a freeloader.
Keep your keep your just ignore these. Keep your quid
I don't need your quid. A query you quid. Anyway. Why are we
soft on Donald Trump? John, let's just talk about this for a
quick moment.
Well, I might as well play my anti Donald Trump thing of
ridicule that I downloaded from my head. We do this rarely, but
we do it once in a while because some of these news media guy or
comics have that full time staff that they can actually put a
clip together like this, which is this is Donald Trump's
friends clip, okay, which was stolen from the Jimmy Kimmel
show, you know, that's
like Muhammad Ali. He was a friend of mine. Michael Jackson
was actually a very good friend of mine. Tom Brady is a very
good friend of mine Bob Kraft Tom Brady Bill Belichick.
They're like great friends of mine. Ted Cruz is a friend of
mine. Chris Christie is a friend of mine. Carl Icahn is a friend
of mine. I like that she's a friend of mine. Howard's a
friend of mine. I remember Tim Russert very well. It was a
friend of mine. Roger Ailes has been a friend of mine, Herman
Cain, my friend, my friend, Elton John, we have a rich guy
from New York City. A friend of mine, a friend of mine, who's
one of the biggest and richest people in China, a friend of
mine who's Chinese, Chinese. They say they're friends of
mine. I have friends that are Christian. I have many friends
that are Muslims. I have friends that are Muslims. I have so many
Jewish friends. I have friends that are reporters. I have
friends in Iowa I have so many friends in New Hampshire, I have
friend I have so many friends I have a friend I have friends I
have a friend friends of mine friend of mine, a friend of
mine, friends of mine, a friend of mine, friend of mine, friend
of mine, my friend of mine, a
friend of mine, friend of mine friend and my friend of mine, I
have no friends as far as
wait. Perfect fit. I have one minute of the comedic genius of
George Carlin to fit into this. Are you ready? Yeah,
I mentioned something about language. There are a couple of
terms being used a lot these days. By guilty white liberals.
First one is happens to be he happens to be black. I have a
friend who happens to be black. Like it's a fucking accident.
Happens to be black. Yes. He happens to be black. Oh, yeah.
He had two black parents. Oh, yes, he did. Yes.
And the fact Oh, and so it is a surprise party committee. I
couldn't think it would be more unusual if he just happened to
be Scandinavian
than the other term is openly, openly gay. They say he's openly
gay. But this is the the only minority they use that for, you
know, you wouldn't say someone who was openly black well, maybe
James Brown or Louis Farrakhan. Louis Farrakhan is openly black.
Colin Powell is not openly black. Colin Powell is openly
white. He just happens to be black
just throwing it out there.
Yes. Well, anyway, that kind of balances our trump coverage for
sure. Yeah, except, but it's bull crap. We don't that's not
what we're here to do is to say, Oh, we think Trump's an idiot or
whatever we do think Hillary's an idiot. But that's different.
Maybe that's got something to do with it.
Well, I do want to remind everybody, every nation gets the
government it deserves that always happens whether it's
corrupt or not. And so we'll see what we get.
You know, I might have the Bernie thing where Bernie comes
off with this is no but don't my fault. It's not my fault. I got
two guys that you got that it says this is via trade violence
at Trump's rallies. This is the rundown. And this is this is
actually CBS it says ABC on there are men who's allowed his
supporters in though Those who sometimes seek confrontation to
come together in violence,
but Trump's rivals are walking a rhetorical tightrope. On the one
hand, they're trying to hold protesters accountable. On the
other hand, they're blaming the billionaire businessman for
fostering a hostile climate and trying to avoid alienating his
supporters.
We've seen some protesters that take speech into intimidation
into violence into trying to silence anyone who might
disagree with them. That is wrong. I think it is also true
that any campaign responsibility begins and ends at the top
of the protesters last night did confirm to CBS News they are
supporters of Bernie Sanders. And Trump tweeted, it is Clinton
and Sanders people who disrupted my rally in Chicago.
I don't think I'll report it I will support us aren't fighting
what our supporters are doing is responding to a candidate who
has in fact, in many ways, encouraged violence.
Both Sanders and Hillary Clinton say it's up to Trump to tell his
supporters to stand down, play with matches, you're going to
start a fire you can't control. That's not leadership.
That's political Parsons.
President Obama also weighed in at a fundraiser today in Dallas,
Jimmy said leaders are those who aspired to be leaders must
reject violence and efforts to spread fear. And he said if they
refuse to do that, they don't deserve our support.
All right. Now, I just want to say a couple of things. First of
all, Bernie Sanders there is blaming the victim Yes, in a
most abhorrent way, yeah. So but Sanders is a total douchebag in
this regard, it's his people and he's not scolding them in the
least this is nice. He brought it on himself. The way he
dressed. What do we expect with a woman if she's gonna wear a
tight skirt? Oh, good
one, John. Yes.
That's exactly what he said. Well, I mean, in a analogy, and
sort of a good way, but but they can't you know, this is like
this is the these are the brown shirts. And then Sanders is the
one who has them so I'm very disappointed in standards and
then to Hillary with this weighing arson way before
you go to Hillary. I got a special delivery from the no
agenda production studio for you with your name on it. Yeah, from
Matt bash. What was the problem with Bernie
he's not blaming the victim not
in this case. Now the problem with Bernie is he can't get
black Americans who are socialists. We have we have some
of the best producers in the business.
It's funny because of the Chicago thing had a lot of black
lives matter.
I know I know. That was what that was for. They were from
move on of course, and Black Lives Matter Exactly.
Yes, shame from another day double teamed and they really
got it they didn't want to speak in Chicago in it who needs it?
And meanwhile Hillary says this you gotta match books his his
batch book analogy somebody wrote for Yeah, then that clip
they had it in there where she's talking about it and she says
she's not pious political arsonist. Political arsonist.
She has said that I don't know if I have any more clips today
with her saying that but she said that over and over again.
She thinks it's so cute.
No, it's not. Oh, it's dumb. Now back to the debate for a second
I did pick up a few clips. There was some substantial stuff being
said which of course none of this is discussed at all because
of the Oh yeah, and I don't think it was a riot. Like keep
hearing riots right it wasn't a riot is there is there
was people were stealing televisions. Yeah, thank you.
Good point. Is it a riot? What is the actual definition of riot
people stealing television? Oh,
no, no, no, no, no. Hold on. Oh, look it up Wow, well, let me see
a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd. Yeah, well, I
guess it does qualifies as a riot then.
Okay, it was a riot.
As a verb to riot take part in a violent public disturbance.
Yeah, it was a riot. Okay, I take it back. It was a riot. You
got it. Oh, and of course, it's so important to talk about, you
know, a riot. And meanwhile, the President signed an order to
drone 100 People in Yemen. Crickets. Crickets. Oh, yeah. We
got a couple of what was it? What's the word they use?
Collateral damage. Yeah, a couple of civilians got killed
but it gives us Shit. Who cares if they're brown people, you say
in sand. So we understand that it's okay if they die. Rubio had
a couple of good ones in this debate. He had a couple of his.
And the more I listened to him the more I agree if we could
actually have a comedian of true comedian run for president, he
would be president in a heartbeat.
I don't feel good could do it. If he just did that they shouted
him down, or the media and everybody. Oh, it was going too
far. Yeah. And they I mean, they discouraged him, even though I
think he was on a roll he was doing well,
he did. And he had a good line here.
Climate change means rising ocean levels, which in South
Florida means flooding downtown and in our neighbourhoods, it's
an everyday reality in our city, will you as president
acknowledge the reality of the scientific consensus about
climate change? And as President, Will you pledge to do
something about it, unquote, Senator Rubio, the Miami mayor
has endorsed you will you honour his request for a pledge and
acknowledge the reality of the scientific consensus of climate
change and pledge to do something the climate is
changing? And one of the reasons why the climate is changing is
because the climate has always been changing. There has never
been a time when the climate has not changed. I think the
fundamental question for a policymaker is, is the climate
changing because of something we are doing? And if so, is there a
law you can pass to fix it? So on the issue of flooding in
Miami, it's caused by two things. Number one, South
Florida is largely built on land that was once a swamp. And
number two, because of there is higher sea levels or whatever it
may be happening. We do need to deal with that through
mitigation. And I have long supported mitigation efforts.
But as far as a law that we can pass in Washington to change the
weather, there's no such thing. On the contrary,
I like that. You can make a law that will change the weather.
Yeah, that was actually a good clip because he was trying to
corner him. Yeah, you change your attitude. If you know, you
get to help from this guy. This guy is all in.
But he's, he's still open to mitigation. So he's he's not
anti climate change regulations. The way I heard it. He's open to
mitigation. Okay. Yeah, museum
put a levee up or something.
Trump because there's fish just flip flopping around in downtown
Miami,
that would be a benefit.
It's easy to catch. Sucking insight. Donald Trump just
before this debate, had an interview with Anderson Cooper,
and he said Islam hates us. I'm paraphrasing. This came up in
the debate.
Mr. Trump, let me start with you. Last night you told CNN
quote, Islam hates us. Did you mean all 1.6 billion Muslims?
I mean, a lot of them. I mean, a lot.
Now, that was a funny line. I thought What did
what exactly the proper site? Did he say? Just Islamic radical
Islam? Listen again. I
didn't Mr. Trump is with you. Last night, you told CNN quote,
Islam hates us.
That's a very interesting way to put it. Just the word Islam by
itself. You know, you can't you can't just say does Judaism hate
us? Does Christianity hate us? Sounds weird. Makes no sense.
Because it's not a person. It's a it's a it's a belief system.
Did you mean all 1.6 billion Muslims?
I mean, a lot of them. I mean, a lot.
Actually, that's a desert Eisah. So that's actually not bad.
I mean, a lot of by I mean, a lot of them. Yeah, I can do that
later.
Do you want to clarify the comments at all? Well, you
know, I've been watching the debate today, and they're
talking about radical Islamic terrorism or radical Islam. But
I will tell you, there's something going on that maybe
you don't know about, and maybe a lot of other people don't know
about. But there's tremendous hatred, and I will stick with
exactly what I said to Anderson Cooper.
Okay.
Now, I thought this was a unique
moment. Let me put in before we do that, let me just grab the
ISO Hold on a second.
Did you mean all 1.6 billion Muslims,
I mean, a lot of them. I mean, a lot of
the with the second part of just the beginning, what do you think
the first one
is? All you want? I mean, a lot of that into all kinds of
interest. I mean, a lot of them.
Okay, let me just I so save as Trump. Oops. Trump, a lot of
them in go, boom, Shakalaka. Okay, and okay, okay, we're
good. We can continue.
Now. I thought this was an interesting turn around, because
the way the memes were going was Trump hates Muslims. And they
were using that as would using it well, with a lot of leverage,
even though I don't see any evidence of him hating that
anybody really, but you could take this thing about blocking
the Muslims from coming into the country as a hate thing. Even
though Jimmy Carter, by the way did that. He actually was when
he was president actually. Stop Muslims from coming into the
country. Yeah, a group of them not radical Islamist because
they didn't exist at the time. But he prevented Shiites from
Iran and parts of the Middle East from coming into the
country block. Right. But no doubt is that we don't need to
bring that up.
Oh, no. And I've thought about this, as I have, I think
mentioned on the show before I see. When I was growing up in
Europe 1972 was when I got there, when we had you know,
sports, athletic clubs and men and women would shower vo co Ed
mix showers and we'll get known cared about, you know, naked
bodies were naked bodies. And this is all gone. This is all
gone from the open, liberal European thinking. And it has
washed over here into such a degree where we just we think
differently. We don't think anymore like the Donald Trump
American who is now almost 70. And I'm I'm 50 and 70. He's
7070. You know, it's, there's a different thinking. And it's not
even that the thinking is different is way we express it.
And that is I think the core is political correctness, which if
you and I went back to this morning, I read the
technological society, society and its future, the Unabomber
manifesto, which is all about this. It is the first 50 pages
is this what is happening right now, I encourage you to read
that. Put a link in the show notes once again. So
what I saw here was him doing a jujitsu move. And I thought it
was very elegant, even though nobody credited him for doing
it. But what it was was everyone do you know the meme? Is he
hates Muslims? Any No, no, turn it around. They hate turns it
around that they hate us. And he's never said that before in
any of the other debates. He never said that until that
debate. And he
followed up with I thought another good piece about you
know, they hate us. In sadly for him, Marco Rubio walked away
with it. He let Rubio in I could see he was wincing over this.
But he was injured, he still kept his cool.
Walker talks about consequences. Well, we've had a lot of
consequences, including aeroplanes flying into the World
Trade Centre, the Pentagon, and could have been the White House,
there have been a lot of problems that you can say what
you want, and you can be politically correct if you want.
I don't want to be so politically correct. I like to
solve problems. We have a serious, serious problem of
hate. There is tremendous hate, there is tremendous, where large
portions of a group of people, Islam, large portions, want to
use very, very harsh means. And let me go a step further. Women
are treated horribly. You know that you do know that women are
treated horribly and other things are happening. That's a
very, very bad. I will say this, there is tremendous hatred. The
question was asked, What do you think I said, there is hatred.
Now, it'd be very easy for me to say something differently. And
everybody would say, oh, isn't that wonderful? Mr. Trump, we
better we better solve the problem before it's too late.
Senator Rubio.
I'm not interested in being politically correct. I'm not
interested in being politically correct. I'm interested in being
correct. And
I was good.
I thought the same. I thought the line was good. But I thought
because Trump had stretched out his explanation for too long as
the bell that they call back to the political correct. No, I'd
rather be correct. I thought was mis timed. It was the best way
to lay.
It was the best he could do and it worked. It works. Come on,
you gotta admit it worked. It worked.
It was that was his group in their classroom.
Course, of course. Now, just before we had CNNs, Erin
Burnett, and who was she talking to? She was talking to Oh to
Governor Scott, Rick Scott is that Rick Scott, Governor Rick
Scott. And I'm just because she's Erin, and I'm very
disappointed, you know, ever since she pooped out the twins.
It's just been nothing with her. She's just been following
scripts. She's given up. I'm very sad about this very sad. I
had such high hopes for her doing her
job.
It's no surprise that radical Islam does not like our country.
But when I think about this, I think about what's happened to
people like Steven Sotloff.
He had to be asked several times until finally Anderson Cooper
asked him do you mean radical Islam? Then? Then he said, Yes,
he didn't. He didn't take that at the beginning. And part of
that it's comments like those that are causing some to compare
him to Hitler, people who do not like him. The current President
of Mexico, two former presidents of Mexico, have compared him to
Hitler. The dissenting Fox for President specifically said
quote, he reminds me of Hitler. It's
no, that's not what he said. I have to call her on it. Again.
Here's what Erin Burnett says. He said he reminds me of Hitler.
No, that's not what he said. We go to the videotape,
techies president has issued a warning to the country's top
Kobs this one I met everything he remembers.
He remembers me if Hitler was It's not really reminds me of
Hitler. He remembers me of Hitler, Erin Burnett that you
can't say quote, it wasn't a quote. Oh, he reminds me of
Hitler. It's she does it again. She does it again, direct. It's
not an illusion, it's a direct thing. He reminds me of Hitler.
He
didn't say that. So that's not okay. I'm just saying as a
small, minor journalistic point. That is not okay.
Do they have a point? They have a point? Well,
I'm not sure exactly what Donald meant when he's what he said, I
can tell you what happened after the Paris attacks. What I said
is until the federal government can make us comfortable with
what their vetting process is, I don't want any more Syrian
refugees to come into my state. Because as we know, in Paris, we
had one of the terrorists had had posed as a Syrian refugee,
right, we've got to make our country feel safe. Now
I find whatever. Then what we're talking about lies. There's one
lie that keeps coming back with Hillary Clinton that I would
like to point out to everybody right now, this is a very
important one. This was last night this was on MSNBC, they
had just keep it never stops the townhall, the special little
question and answer session, whatever, about Hillary's
emails? This she has someone has to call her on this, and I'm
very disappointed in the mainstream. They're not doing
it.
Let me let me clarify this. Because you know, there's so
much misinformation going on around here. And let me just
start with the basic facts. I have said it wasn't the best
choice to use a personal email. It was a mistake. However, I am
not alone in that many people in the government, past and current
have on occasion, or as a practice done the same.
No, no, no, no. There is no evidence anyone in the
government had their own email server does not the same. They
have a Gmail account or an AOL account in the case of colon
PowerPoint. No, it's not a good point. It is it is a bold faced
lie. She has to speak because
it's bullcrap. She had an actual she's like you, she has her own
email.
Let me ask you a question. Why is it when I set up in my own
email server? I'm a kook.
Yeah, Kukeri. Well, your friend
Hillary Clinton sets it up. She's great. 11 hours. Why am I
the Kook when I set up my own email server? Yeah. It is not
the same board with that. It is not the same thing that I want
to hear it again, let me clarify, this is a fact. And
this is Oh, it's been mis misinformation. Because you
know,
there's so much misinformation going on around here. Let me
just start showing six facts. I have said it wasn't the best
choice to use a personal email. It was a personal
email. She says now a personal email server
mistake. However, I am not alone in that many people, no
government, past and current have on occasion or as a
practice done the same? No, not
personal email. This is not the same as personal email server.
No think she's got over a barrel here.
You know what I'm saying? Well, okay, all right. But when she
says it's the same,
nothing I sent was marked classified, or that I received
was marked classified, which is never the case. And
specifically, when
we don't need to talk about that, that that would that's
just the one thing that's really bugging me on that before
we leave the Trump thing I do have to read a letter from one
of our listeners good
because I have a kicker. I have a Trump kicker for us
that you can use to kick her as a kicker. I'm a 61 year old
student at a local community college. I'm taking an American
government class as an elective. I have firsthand evidence to
back up something I heard discussed on the no agenda show
by you and Adam. Obviously, the majority of the classes filled
with students much younger than myself. A professor, a former
ATF employee, was discussing Trump and wondering out loud why
no one has killed him yet. Oh, wow. This suggestion brought
loud cheers and applause and most of the young douchebags Oh,
man, some even claim that they if they could get close enough,
they'd stab him themselves. Now I'm no Purigen but listening
this turned my stomach it goes to the point that made by
YouTube guys in the show these kids are being led around by the
nose due to the influence of what they would they see and,
and hear in social media. Anyway, for what it's worth, I
thought you guys might like to know you were spot on. So
greetings from the sphincter of American city.
Okay, now,
this fits in perfectly with my kicker clip. I can't believe how
beautiful this is.
Well, let me just move out. I do want to mention one thing that
before the kicker clip. I note the thing I kind of caught my
attention only after I thought about it for a while was the
kids who said that? This This is really bad. What I'm going to
say this is the kid says, if he could get close enough, they'd
stab him. Now, there was a kid that was recently deported
because he was on Facebook saying that if he could get by,
because you know, same kind of thing he was deported because he
was a he was a on a green card or something that is a student
student visa. And they threw him out of the country for saying
he'd like to stab a Donald Trump. Ah, now, this generation
of this stabbing thing is like, I think people like our age will
say we'd shoot him.
I was waiting for that. Yeah. But no, no, that's unAmerican.
Bad. That's unAmerican. You so here
we go. Guns are bad, but it's okay if I stab him. Oh, my God.
Is this is this outrageous? The brainwashing that's going on in
this country is is frightening.
And I will add to that Sacha Baron Cohen, who I love as a
filmmaker. And he has a new movie out called the Grimsby
brothers which we are the brothers grins Grimsby, I
believe it or not seen it? There's not a lot of PR about
it, but he's about to get it. So he's born out of course, if you
don't know who that is. And he was on CNN on the morning show
with our friend Makayla. And there's at the end of this
movie, there is a what he's what he calls a Hollywood ending on
over like a dire sweetheart ending. And it's and it plays
right into what you just read from our millennial producer.
Right? And I think and by the way, this is Sacha Baron Cohen
dressed like a cowboy. He's nutty. But he's speaking as
himself. So
he was 61 years old and a millennial.
I'm sorry. I take it all back.
Get it? Right. And I think this might be a clip, which is
there's a fairy tale ending in that Donald Trump gets eight
aids at the end.
This is true in the movie, Donald Trump gets aids at the
end of the movie.
And the interesting thing has been throughout the world where
we've shown that see, what has the reaction been? Well, people
have been cheering this.
This is overseas.
This is overseas to shine video because
this is when Donald Trump contracts HIV. Oh, goodness,
people are cheering. They're standing ovations and this is
round the world.
This is This is insane. Are you wondering how it's those that
seems going to play here in the United States, given the fact of
what is going on? Well,
I've just been in Miami. I played in Miami two days ago in
New York last night. People are cheering. They're standing
ovations. And, you know, I'm a comedian, but I think this it
shows something quite pointed about what's going on there. If
there's that much latent hatred that when the potential future
president of America contracts HIV, people are standing up and
cheering that means something wrong is going on. Up in the
country. Yes. Is there anything that you won't touch?
Ah, now, I take Sasha Sacha Baron Cohen, I think you're
doing something very important your show but it's not. I don't
believe his anger towards Donald Trump. But he is showing
America's Something's very wrong. I agree. I agree.
Well, you know, they're always the irony of the whole thing is
that if you, if you look at the commentary that Trump is a
hater. The amount of hatred directed toward him is
outrageous. Besides these kids in this classroom, they describe
the cheering and one of them saying I will stab him. And the
other guy on face bag that was talking about killing him and I
think there's a lot of that on there. Yeah. Oh, totally. The
whole thing is riddled with it. And, and then this other
incident, yeah, there's the haters. Unbelievable. And then
Bernie, you know, with his, you know, sending his brown shirts
to Bernie and the brown shirts. Yeah, Bernie and the brown
shirts.
Meanwhile, this will wrap it all up for me. There is an actual
fascist dictator on the rise in our world. And he's our friend.
Turkey's president
has issued a warning to the country's top court. He says its
survival would be up for debate. If it's repeated rulings that
were against the country. Rhetoric. Tayyip Erdogan was
referring to a decision that led to the release of two detained
newspaper editors then do gets in it. He says me, excuse me,
but I said I do not respect the decision of an institution that
does not respect the rights and interests of the poor. people of
this country. I hope the constitutional courts will not
act in such a way again, which will leave its existence and
legitimacy up for debate. He says the release of the
journalists was described by one of them as a clear defeat for
Erdogan. Both were freed on bail last week after a ruling by the
Constitutional Court that their rights have been violated. They
were detained after their newspaper published material, it
said showed intelligence officials trucking arms to
Syria, the journalists face trial and If convicted,
potential life sentences.
To recap, we are all upset about Donald Trump, Hitler, I'm sorry,
Adolph Trump. In the meantime, now forget what we know about
for Tula Gulin. And his involvement in this newspaper.
When you have a dictator, I'm sorry, a president saying, Hey,
I don't like what the court did. You know, I might not recognise
you anymore, because this newspaper that you let the two
journalists go free. They had evidence of my agents trucking
weapons into Syria. Yeah, that is not important to us. And
we're, we're like friends EU is doing big deal with the guy
which includes visa free visa free travel into Europe, you
know, joining NATO join the EU. This is the fascist. At least
the optics of him are a fascist. Let's
just say that everyone in Europe is distant. I mean, every
thinker in Europe is wondering what the EU Parliament's up to
but cozying up to this joke, Joker.
I'm just disturbed by an actual fascist again, optics. But I
believe it to be true. An actual fascist and there's just no
coverage. It's all Trump is Hitler. Because Sarah Silverman
went on and on Conan show was Hitler. Yes. It wasn't even. It
wasn't even funny.
I saw that. It was like, oh, wasn't fun. It wasn't funny.
I know. I tried. I
tried. It was hilarious. I try this great. It's very funny.
It's very funny. Very creative. No, it wasn't it
was not creative.
He was uncomfortable.
Thing, Thing, Thing. Thing, Thing, Thing, Thing, Thing,
Thing. Thing, Thing, Thing. Thing, Thing. Ding, ding, ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Thanks. Just one week, there was a Democrat debate.
DH Lammers kid did that, by the way, came up with that idea.
That's a
good one. Yeah. In after our show last, and then they're only
got one clip, and I didn't even actually didn't get any clips.
And then I was watching somebody do a rundown of the Democracy
Now they were doing, showing some clips. And then I caught
this clip. A second time around, I realised, oh, this is
interesting, because there's, this tells you something kind
of, I don't know, my analysis, there'll be I think putting it,
let's play this. This is Clinton on deportation.
He promised that he wanted more children, children, were already
here,
I will not deport children. I would not deport children. I do
not want to deport family members, either. Jorge, I want
to, as I said, prioritise who would be deported violent
criminals, people planning terrorist attacks, anybody who
threatens us? That's a relatively small university.
I want to be very specific. So you're telling us tonight, that
if you become president, you want the poor children who are
already here, I will not and that you want deport immigrants
who don't have a criminal record.
That's what that's what I'm telling you.
We always have to play this clip when that happens. Hillary
Clinton, the children are worried.
Now, one thing I don't like being I think it's annoying when
you see somebody making pledges like that tax guys, when you do
pledge, why? Why am I pledging to you? Why, you know, I don't
like this whole thing where you have to guarantee something to a
reporter now. But the thing in there that was interesting is
that she wants to cheat. She says she'll deport. Yes, people
who are planning terrorist attacks against us. Now, what
good does that do?
Why will you deport them, you should arrest them. You should
arrest them
and throw away send them to get more or do something with them.
You don't deploy Oh, they're gonna blow up the World Trade
Centre again, deport them, just deport them, get them out.
That's what she said. Yeah.
And I'm sure she means it.
Easy peasy, where the love is deep.
Yes, it's good. I'm gonna go quit the show.
Damn. With that I'd like to thank you for your courage and
passion and say in the morning to you, John Sue.
In the morning, do you miss random Coriolis zoo in the
morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air
subs in the water and all the Dames and nights in the
morning to all of our artists. In particular, I want to thank
the artists who brought us the artwork for babushkas of
Chernobyl episode 806. And that was brought that was that was a
nice piece By Mark G. He does high concept this was the Mosul
Dam with pushing on both sides and the dam cracking was a
beautiful piece.
Yes, he does. Modern, very contemporary looking stuff.
No agenda, our generator.com is where you can upload your
submissions. We appreciate all the work all of our artists do.
We use it for all kinds of stuff, but newsletters for just
to when I'm in a bad mood. I just go to the Art Generator to
have a laugh.
Yeah,
which is often with you. Yes. All the time. All right. So we
have a few people to thank mostly 1234 of executive
producers who took advantage of Pi Day which is tomorrow we'll
leave that is at that open for another day. But somehow Eric
left off the list our check that came in one lone check of
interesting any interesting amount demanded $34 need to be
at the top of the list here. Oh, who's this? This is Roy Pierce.
And he's in Florida. And he's got a note on his keep saying he
wants to correct I guess are thinking and so he's got and
you'd get a pencil because he's also changed his title. He's a
bow Baron. Okay. He says pundants keep saying fully
automatic weapons are illegal. Fact is the US government has
sown has no such prohibition. Although nine socialist states
do. The Treasury Department maintains documentations on
weapons they deem transferable and require a $200 tax to do so.
The first step for acquisition is to befriend an in state
firearms dealer who is familiar with the process. His
participation is only necessary for the first transfer and he
can help with such information as parts availability and
reliability. Price escalates whenever government limits the
supply of a commodity so be prepared for sticker shock. The
Army paid $17 for an M three submachine gun in 1943. They can
sell today for $10,000 That's if you want to emulate Steve
McQueen and helus for heroes. So you can buy machine guns. Sure
they are legal except in nine states. So he says the research
the words, transferable weapons for more information.
Okey dokey.
He's got a now he's got a. So he's obviously a gun guy. We
have a drumroll. I have an Kona. That is who he is barren of the
Treasure Coast.
Sir. And Kona Baron of the Treasure Coast. Got it. And we
want to thank him until I give him a little karma shot here.
Yeah, I think he needs one. All right.
I thought I There we go. Let's do it again. You've got karma
you go. Thank you,
veteran of the Treasure Coast. And so you get yourself a
machine gun.
Okay, I didn't say I didn't have one already. You might.
I might. Andrew Goodman in Byron, Georgia, three $14.59.
And he writes in to say Happy Pi Day, gentlemen. Yep, Pi Day Eve.
I want to know if you I want to, I want you to know that I have
your backs in the light of the flack you've been received by
some of your listeners for supposedly defending
presidential candidate Trump. I know along with probably most of
your listeners that you're simply following your protocol
of deconstructing the media and calling out the frequent missing
patient of tactics they use to influence your viewers thank
you. I'll be sure to give this guy the other guy's email
address. Once you just go meet on the Reddit subreddit
betcha Goodman can kick his ass. Thank you for remaining
consistent omit amidst listener opposition. Keep up the good
work. Please send some of the job and relationship coverage of
my best friend Morgan, who so kindly hit me in the mouth four
years ago.
All right jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs or jobs.
David L Simpson was 314 16. Actually Goodman did 59 which is
more accurate. But yeah,
yeah 3.145962 sides
should be 3.14159
I thought was, oh yeah, you're right. You're right 3141592617
I get what he's saying. It also pushed it to the top of the list
in a sneaky way. David Ellison Crystal Lake Illinois. In the
morning gents. I've been listening to the show sense of
May you
just mentioned something I hadn't realised. But that if you
add a few pennies, then you get pushed higher in the list.
Oh, there's a bunch of people
notice no, I always wonder why dollars and one cent always
wonder why that happened. Which is Oh,
kidneys man.
In the morning, Jen. I haven't been encouraging it so I never
mentioned it time for some nights. Well, now we're gonna
get all kinds of crazy it's gonna be like the prices right?
I
need some B 12.
In the morning, gents I've been listening to show since last May
and while I have made one small donation, I'm still in need of a
deed douching
eau de douching? Yeah, I'm sorry.
You've been de Deus. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Also,
while my credit card information says I'm from Crystal Lake. I've
lived in Chicago for about a year now. And I'd like to touch
on what occurred at the Trump rally out we get local. Yeah, I
did not attend but as a millennial, I witnessed many of
my peers organising and attending the protests, that
they deny the Trump supporters and those curious about Trump's
platform, their right to engage. The political process disgusted
me, but disappointed me more was the violence and hate that
follow the rallies cancellation. I have yet to see one of my
peers disavow the violence and fascist tactics used to scare
and intimidate those who attend peacefully. Many of my peers are
quite pleased with what they accomplished. In fact, they have
even gone so far as to create a fund to get to protesters that
were arrested at the event out of jail. This has led me to the
conclusion that I need to get the hell out of here. The
inmates are truly running the asylum if it weren't for the
biweekly respite of the show. I don't know where my mental state
would be. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Finally, please call
out Jeffrey Baker in Atlanta as a douchebag. He sent me in the
mouth and he never donated I
hate that.
Yeah. It's just so Scott Spencer's next on the list of
Baron of North Georgia and Dawsonville Georgia 314 314 16.
He says, just the Black Knight Baron in North Georgia. I like
pie.
I like pie too.
Everybody likes pie. Pie. Done Tommaso de Toronto in kettleby
Ontario, Canada 314 15. From dawn to Moscow de Toronto in a
while so here's a piece small piece of the pie just the D
douching. And some karma for
you Ben de deuced you've got karma
and that's it. Oh it's an abrupt ending.
I'm very Yeah, no
Associate Executive Producers today. Ah, yeah. Strange day.
Well, yeah, who knows? It's the Ides of March are upon us my
friend.
Well, we got show 808 coming up which is a super lucky number.
So we're going to do the eight oh 80.08 donation right. Vote
that in that Palindrome lucky numbers. Number eight Chinese
lucky number. The number eight plate in China go to Sales for
millions of dollars in Hong Kong else wherever they produce them.
And we have some action.
We appreciate our pipe producers. That's pretty much
all we had today. Thank you so much. These of course as always
are real credits, especially the executives and the Associate
Executive producers that you can use them anywhere credits are
valid. Please try it on your LinkedIn it does seem to work
and again, as always another show we do two a week on
Thursday and
forex.org/n A and of course you
can do the thing that we all want you to do is go propagate
our formula formula
is this. We go out we had people in the mouth
a quick update John from Germany. Update from Germany.
I have a bunch of German clips too. I have
an update on the on the voting polls voting poll gains today is
the election.
Let's see so far. We have AFD doing slightly better than
expected we have unexpected I dictating correctly, a two digit
result for AFD these the alternative for Deutschland
party. Let's see, we have in Rhineland pilot pilot Hinata
pilots not I guess that's the that's West Germany. Do we have
SPD who was in a coalition with Merkel? Of course 36% Merkel 33.
So she went down and AFD 11.
So that's what's kind of expected. Now the question is,
well, how did Julia Kleckner do she's the heir apparent to to
Merkel, at least in some ways in the same party, which you have
to look at this picture. Oh, what's her name? I got it on one
of the clips. It's you can see all this spell it and you might
as well play this clip German elections. Julia Kleckner
Okeydoke.
Chancellor Merkel has been on a campaign tour to boost her
party's fortunes in Sunday's regional elections. She came to
Saxony and house to support the incumbent state Premier. But
many people in this eastern German state are angry at the
government chanting Mackel must go. Social media is ablaze with
hostile posts by right wing populists who are critical of
Merkel's position on the migrant crisis. Many see this vote as a
referendum on the Chancellor's open door policy toward
refugees. It could be a nail biter. If Merkel is nervous,
it's not showing she made 20 campaign appearances in the
three states. She is convinced her stance on the migrant crisis
is the right one and that most Germans are backing her. Not
before.
90% of the people in Germany still agree that anyone fleeing
war, terrorism and other forms of violence should be granted
protection in Germany. And I think that's a very good thing.
If Mackel isn't nervous her party is the CD us candidate for
state premier in Rhineland Palatinate is Amelia Kloeckner.
She's afraid of losing votes in Sunday's election if people use
it to register their displeasure with Merkel.
Yep. So first of all, I'm looking at pictures of Julia
Kleckner and if Germany ever wanted a boomerang and wanted
the pendulum to swing the other way from Angular Merkel, this is
your girl. That's for sure are
she is so photogenic.
Oh my goodness.
I would say if you did, you'd take a look at the image page of
her. That's what I'm looking at when to look it up. Just spell
it is KL
o Eck N er Yeah. Oh II Kleckner
and she is so photogenic. She looks like a ghost. She also has
a look of a certain type of Berkeley character. Yeah,
there's the beautiful I do
not like the blue dress and the and the green top. That's dumb.
But the one where she's standing next to Merkel and she's got the
kind of the LaCie top on with a with a blazer jacket on. And but
she still looks Germanic, which I like about her. Yeah, she
still has that. You know, by the way I could crush your head
between my knees.
She is a great white pretty woman and it's great. Especially
last year, she lost a lot and she lost a lot.
She lost. She lost a lot today.
Did she lose?
Well, she has been losing but it's not done yet. But she's
been losing votes. Yeah, she's she's in Rhineland. So she's
tdsat Ooh, so she went down.
Yeah, well, this is gonna be the problem they're gonna have over
there and then did she gets kicked out that's the end of
that progression. And it's possible that she will because
they were kind of implying that on Deutsche Vela but they have
like the stuff going on in Germany right now which I have
well probably over clipped a little bit mostly has to do with
their these companies that are not making money they're
attached to the cities. Well, let's
do it. I'm interested. Let's do it.
They have a lot the problem with Germany is they've decided to
close the we've talked about
they had the energy vendor, but they come back from that the
vendor was were shutting down the nuclear power plants. They
did this after Fukushima. And oh no. shut them down. Shut down
coal. We're all good. So wind Love and Light wind and light my
friends. It'll work great for Germany. Aner given that
Yeah, well there it's not working great so far. That I
have oh, just one obscure clip that's let's see. I think I see
it but let's start with the German nukes one.
A total of 29
Stopstopstop start with zero. This is the one that set me up
to start following knows that this is German nukes zero.
The loop main nuclear power plant near Greifswald stopped
producing power 27 years ago. decommissioning work has been in
progress since 1995. It's clear that the originally planned 3
billion euros are not enough to finish the job. The work was
supposed to be completed in 2008. But it will probably take
another 10 years after that. For years, Germany's major energy
companies made good money with nuclear power. But today the
same companies are making huge losses.
Okay, so it's gonna take them 30 years to decommission this old
nuke plant. And they got about 20 of them to take down and
they're taking them all down.
I thought they did reverse course on this am I becoming
Correct? Okay, this
is a this is a myth. They have not they're shutting this stuff
down and their show they showed the charge they expect to be
completely free of all this stuff that 80% of their power is
going to be renewable past I have a true story. Yeah, at some
point and so they're they're continuing to take take these
plants down left and right and so let's here's the
ramifications is all these energy companies that relied on
nukes to make money that were also attached to certain cities.
Now there's no dividends, the cities don't get the money then
they have all these other issues. So let's go with a
little exposition here with Germany nukes one.
A total of 29 nuclear power plants in Germany need to be
dismantled in the coming years, companies have set aside some 38
billion euros for decommissioning, but experts say
it won't be enough. Yeah, to whom other companies are
responsible for decommissioning and disposal. It's the polluter
who pays. Germany failed to establish a nuclear fund where
partial financing would have been insured. So now these
companies are having trouble. So taxpayers are on the hook. And
that is unacceptable, that's notoriously inaccurate. As part
of Germany's transition to renewable energy, the proportion
of electricity generated by nuclear power and fossil fuels
has been falling. Today renewables provide around 1/3 of
the country's energy needs. The long term goal is around 80%.
But there's still the problem of nuclear waste. A final storage
site is still not been found. This year, another search will
begin for a site that could be up and running by 2050 at the
earliest. Until then, German taxpayers will continue to pay
billions for temporary storage.
The green energy revolution is dragging entire German cities
into the red if any municipalities are shareholders
in our W E, which we mentioned in that previous report, it
suffered a 7 billion euro loss last year. One thing that the
power utility isn't generating is a dividend.
Wow. That is and these guys kind of need electricity for their
industry. They are the the industrial heart of the European
Union.
Yeah, so that they're tearing down the 29 nukes that we're
doing fine. Just ended for political reasons. Don't cough.
I don't cough. Unbelievable. So this continues with a couple
more little follow up reports so you can go to clip to
essence bus drivers are always on the roads going from one end
of the city to the other. They all work for the city on
transport services company evag. Lately, rumours about cuts have
been circulating a dampener on their mood. thing Oh, my
fingers. Oh, we always hear a lot about what's planned. And
then nothing happens. We're waiting for the day things
actually change. The local authority has made cutbacks, and
its public service companies like evac that have to suffer
the consequences. They've already had to layoff 700 people
of the past few years, and freeze vital investments. All
while passenger numbers are actually on the rise.
And Austin CHP alone destroyed essence
everything that's limiting the city's budget, including the RW
e dividend will automatically affect us of whether it'll
involve concrete measures we can say at first, its essence to the
run the city's debt stacks up to more than 3 billion euros as
energy giant RW E has decided against paying a dividend this
year. Another 18 million euros are gone. treasurer's had
budgeted for at least half of that.
Licence billing doesn't it more than half this house
usually we managed to make up for such budget deficits as we
go along. He kept these I needed so this time I have my doubts
because funding refugee accommodation has already
stretched our funds
because on top of Shawn variety and flexibility
Essen has to take on 8000 refugees this year alone. That's
further straining the city's Treasury which is already
stretched. an unemployment rate of 12% means that welfare
spending is high.
12% Double Up express
this understand understanding of the city's predicament, but the
board is firm in its decision to not pay a dividend this year.
Local Authority representatives had agreed after all, our web
has slipped into the red
Well, this sounds like a house of cards to me and doesn't have
good cities in bed with corporations that provide energy
and do what they do and in a funny kind of a way that we
don't understand in this country because we were never we were
corporatist to do a bit, they're very much so in Germany. And so
you have these interrelationships you also have
inter relationships with the welfare system the refugees
coming in that need to be accommodated the the movement
away from the reliable nuclear power to unreliable wind and
solar love and light, love and light and and then you had some
of these guys, so the energy companies now can't make any
money. And so they're in the red there, they can't do the
dividend, obviously. I mean, you could but then you just you'd be
more in the red and it'd be ridiculous that this does not
sound like a formula for long term success.
No. And you can place your bets accordingly I guess.
Yeah, this is gonna be this is a disaster waiting to happen. The
Germans are are kind of Looney Looney. I mean, the way that
they went then just just on a whim dropped all the nukes just
29 of them plus the ones they already had shut down before
like that one that they're still working on. The cost had caught.
I don't know why they weren't in tune with these things. Maybe
rod Adams can explain it. But they cannot tell
me what it takes to decommission and why it takes so long. Yeah,
why does it take so they got it. They chopped the things up and
then they shipped a you know, I don't know what they what why it
takes so long. It takes 30 years to decommission a power plant.
That's expensive. Yeah. And what would entombing you know, just
make a big right thing. It'd be an eyesore, but it wouldn't be
that big but you know, it's just not enough.
Meanwhile, we we have the continuing unfolding of the
borders and migrant situation. This for this report. I remain
obsessed with this humanitarian disaster in our lifetime. We go
to the Macedonian Greek border
migrants battled for free bread, potatoes and eggs thrown at
them. This is Europe. The Tent City at Greece's northern border
with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Edo many
chaos and conditions show little sign of improving. aid groups
say more than a third of the people here are children. Many
struggle to sleep in their cold and flooded tents. We
are in Europe from 20 days ago. I'm in Europe. But I cannot find
even a safe place. Now. I'm fighting the nature. In Syria.
We're fighting ISIS. No, we are fighting for nature. And I think
it's worse than ISIS. ISIS have a limit but the nature has no
limit.
Many people have run out of money so they stay here getting
up early every day to scramble for firewood and food. Officials
say the border will stay closed preventing their trek further
north towards Germany.
Let me tell you a little about this deal that
has been throwing eggs at them and so
people are hungry so they just open a truck and they throw eggs
and bread out of the truck kind of ended the crowd. Okay. She
had a real orderly. Yeah. Monday there was a proposal that was
outlined in Brussels. And here's the here's the deal. This is the
EU Turkey plan rough outline. All migrants who've travelled
from Turkey to Greece will be returned to Turkey. However, for
every person sent back to Syria, one Syrian already in Turkey is
allowed to resettle in a European country. Right. In
exchange. Turkey wants more and more aid, which is you know,
three billions here 6 billion there's billions 10s of billions
for visa free travel for Turkish citizens to Europe, speeding up
the country's application to join the EU. By the guy whose
optics show us he's a fascist.
Yeah, genuinely a real one. Yeah. Ah this is a It's a bad
thing.
What do you think it's all going to be? We're going to see some
huge show will
be over by the time this finalise it. This will be
decades. Right? You're right Turkish thing. And that's it
until war. Actually, when we get to 2020, and you have some sort
of an outbreak of war, that it's gonna,
I thought I will, oh, we get 2017 I'm just trying to track
all your cycles. So get 2017 that that hasn't changed, by the
way my cycles i That's why I'm asking you 2017, we have the the
downturn, the downturn, and that is with a new president,
regardless of who it is, but only lasts about a year already
only lasts for about a year. Right?
It's but it's a it's a whopper, and it's one of those I'll give
you some examples of how this it's one of those. This was,
again, modelled after the 1857, which is right on the cycle,
depression that took place the United States, which was
considered by all the writers of the era, in till probably 29. It
was considered the first, even though it wasn't, but it was
considered officially the first and worst American depression in
American history that lasted about a year. It wasn't anything
like once we put a go on about the Federal Reserve on this, but
I won't, but it was 9018 57 it was studied to death don't and
it they concluded that it was a monetary policy that caused it.
Although if you look at any of the books that were written,
there's a bunch of books written in 1858 it and so on, to
describe the problem. And I think one book came out in 1857,
which is the gloom and doom. They had all these what caused
it and they had a bit there's a list in one of these books I
read. And one of them was there's too much gold. Yeah,
we've talked about this before. And so this was the Jimmy This
is the analogue of too much money being printed, which is
going to cause the next one now. So another example of this is
1977, which was a period when
49 was the 14th. It was the gold rush, right? That's gold is the
same
as printing money. Right? Right. And which pushed off the
depression that should have taken place sooner. It was all
made more mild. In our case, we are
compared to today's compared to today's quantitative easing,
just as a comparison of taking all inflation etc, which is also
a problem into account. How does the 1849 gold rush the creation
of money, new money compared to the creation of new money today?
Yeah, it admitted, our quantitative easing pales by
comparison. That's what I thought the equivalent that I
calculated was $15 trillion in free money,
and that's just for this week's donations.
Now, that to me, the only thing I can interpret, I can say,
well, if we would that kind of money push this thing off to
1857 the depression should have happened sooner. The depression
that's being pushed off to 2017 is can't possibly be as bad as
it was in 1857, which has to be the worst case scenario. So I
don't think so. It may not be maybe something goes through I'm
not sure. But it's gonna happen one way or the other, you're
gonna freak out. But in 1977 Another good example of this
there used to be a guy named Howard ruff. And he used to
write Are you FF, are you an FF rough, and he rough? Well,
Howard and Howard ruff wrote the rough times. And he documented
the depression of the 1970s which was good price controls,
all these crazy things are going on high inflation, interest
rates, over 20% for home buying and all the rest very extreme.
And that would have the same phenomena where it would peaks
Pete would peak in 1977 Howard ruff by coincidence, wrote a
book in 1977, which I have a copy of, and I'm not sure where
this copy came from, but I was reading it a few months back and
it was hilarious because in 890 77 would be actually where
the whole thing that finalises it bottoms out, and then things
start to pick up and that would be the time to start investing
you start investing for the long haul in the in 2017 when this
thing
collapses, we invest in real estate stocks, learn the state
anything
good companies do anything you can get your money out there
were at
the moment we're in trampoline parks,
that probably would work some people send us notes drives a
lot Yeah, but what do you think is the absolute where you just
think this is terrible that we're never going to survive
this that's when you go all in now it would just nobody can do
because your mindset Well,
let's say let's say we're still around then we'll we will ring
the bell.
rang the bell
is like giant time to invest and invest.
Now Howard ruff wrote a book in 77 and an almost like, just like
perfectly time All the book is about the entire book is about
we're all gonna die, the economy is over the American Way is
done. There's never there's never going to be the same
again, we can never come out of this. It's going to perpetual
downturn we can, and that we wrote it right at that moment,
which is classic. And that's the model, the model is pretty much
the same.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I don't
remember exactly why I was bringing this up. Yeah, you
need to vitamin B 12. That's what I need. Thank
you. Hey, you know, there's something great about this, this
particular podcast. Um, some people have to have a budget for
a podcast like this. We have no budget, but we have no budget,
the budget would be travel, hotel accommodation. You know,
the $2,000 pass. I am here in Austin, Texas during South by
Southwest.
Ah, the South by Southwest stories. Here they come. Yeah, I
gotta tell you. It's great here. Austin Austin, of course, the
blue dots in the red state where President Obama is in town with
Michelle, and he was in town on Friday.
And I just heard you can't go out on your balconies. Well,
first things first, Wednesday, the mayor Steven Adler, who I
met recently, nice guy, bad suit, round shoes. Very nice
guy. He big, big announcements. Everybody worked from home on
Friday, if you can, because the President was scheduled to speak
not once, but twice. And that's how it works. Because you have
to you can't just use Air Force One to come in and do some
fundraisers because he had two fundraisers, one at a private
home in Austin up some construction guy, then one at
the Austin Music Hall, which is the building next to mine. How
about that. And that was also a private fundraiser. And then he
spoke at the at the long Centre, which I can see behind me I was
also able to see the action well positioned, perfectly
positioned. Now if we went out into the hallway, I had an even
better view of the guys on the roof. And that was pretty
interesting. As you know, Tina, Tina has worked she worked from
home here on Friday. Then I'm just roaming around you know, do
my ham stuff and listening to I got walkie talkies I'm listening
to you know that you can't receive everything of the Secret
Service etc. But a lot of that you'd be amazed how much you can
actually listen to the you know, when you have the the
President's detail plugging into the Austin or the Travis County
Fire and talking to them about traffic handling which is it was
a geeky but cool. Now I had a direct view not just of the
Austin Music Hall, but of the tent where the president's car
would pull into I actually pulled Did you see the video I
posted? No, I missed it. Oh, I post a video of the of the whole
procession leaving. And it was right under my building. They
crossed my street which is really was really cool to watch.
That's a nice little motorcade he's got and he has a truck of
death man with a square box on my car. That crazy thing on the
back now before we had all that the Black Panthers did a little
protest in Austin. And as you know to Austin is in Texas and
so it is a open carry state. You can also open carry handguns now
if you have a concealed carry licence. I've I have yet to see
one person in Austin. Well, I don't get around that much. But
I'm downtown. Do walk around downtown. I've never seen anyone
open carry downtown. But the Black Panthers were open carry
with long guns with rifles with AR fifteens and camouflage gear.
That's okay. You can do that and awesome. That's totally cool.
It's what they were chanting that bugged me a little bit big
boy
remember these chance at any point from the Chicago riots.
Wink wink bang bang. That means pigs we kill you on going bang.
It's what they're implying. Yeah. What was his things they
were saying earlier in the
sound but Fuck the police. Yeah, yeah. Any coverage over there of
armed black guys walking through the street and camos with AR 15
saying oink, bang, bang any any coverage on any coverage
anywhere.
No one name wasn't on Democracy Now. No, I didn't think so.
Well, we're Breitbart for that matter.
So the President these motorcade was the very, it was fun to
watch how just everything came together. And so they had these
guys on the roof and now I'm in the hallway near the LOC on the
roof guys on the guys on the roof guys today on the roof of
the building of the roof of the building to make sure that
there's no snipers anywhere. And so there I am with binoculars. I
got my
Yeah, you look like a sniper. I
got my handheld radios and I'm looking at the guy and I see him
looking right back at me. And he's staring he's staring does I
just wave I put my put my handheld radios down out of
sight. Maybe that's not a good idea. Yeah. Whoa. They had so
they had to two identical cars. He had the beast. Two of them do
that the same licence plate number even though identical.
800 exactly the same licence plate number on both cars. Yeah.
800 Dash 002 I thought one would be dash 001 But they're both
dash 002 But slick, man, slick how fast that goes. And then
there's Dave all the black cars and you got the communications
car. And I had a great view of all the antennas and everything.
You should really enjoy the videos kind of worth watching.
Check it out. Then there's in
the show notes. No,
I tweeted it yesterday. Our Friday show then there's my must
have been 10 or 12 white vans also blacked out windows and
that has no more the luminaries and then the press corps and
they had the horses out and everything was big, big big. So
the President did two speeches. And I have some clips from from
horses. Horses. Yeah. The the Mounties of the Mounted Police
were out for some reason. I have no idea why. Other than
everybody was out so there hey, we want to we want to be in the
Obama.
Okay, of course, this takes place during South by Southwest.
Now the traffic was the of course is horrendous. Although
it's always kind of horrendous, you know, and it's fun to watch
all the douchebags running around. I'm telling you, it's
just a cloud of vape vape smoke everywhere. Everybody vape in
here in Austin. And I thought it was cool. Okay, so the
president, he did a sit down interview at the long Centre for
South by Southwest a big coup. And of course, the reason why
well, there are multiple reasons. One is he had to do an
actual presidential deal because there's two other appearances
were fundraisers that you can't use Air Force One way pays for
it. Yeah, you can't use Air Force One just for if you're
gonna go fundraise. And he had a he had his he had the talking
stick with him. He was very casually dressed. And here is
got a couple of clips just to hear where his thinking is at
but he did have yet some messages to address the young
people here who are shaping the future of technology and
entertainment and information. And I can tell you as a as a
participant and a witness to South by there's no one here is
going to change the fucking future. Okay, before
I came in here, I met with an incredible group of people,
entrepreneurs, movie makers, organisers, tech leaders,
tackling talk about how do we make a real difference on
countering violent extremism? It's not enough if we're going
to defeat ISIL. Just take out their leadership,
or what do you think is coming? John, if it's not enough just to
take out ISIL on their leadership? What more do we have
to do as tech leaders? Merkel
take out their leadership or to control certain territories, if
in the virtual world, they are consistently reaching kids here
in the United States or elsewhere in the world, and
recruiting them and twisting their minds to do terrible
things.
Wait a minute, isn't that? Shouldn't the Department of
Education be doing something about that then we have stupid
children here, John, the President says this children are
stupid in America, because they get sucked up by propaganda
and twisting their minds to do terrible things, twisting their
minds to do terrible things. We've got to be able to
penetrate that penetrate. Good reason we got to
we got to be able to penetrate that penetrate. What did he say?
We got to be able to penetrate that dices Okay, penetrate, but
only the tip
and twisting their minds to do terrible things. We've got to be
able to penetrate that. for good reasons. We don't want the
government to be the lead on that.
How about that little group of technical experts you have in
the State Department? President Obama, first of all, we're
not credible in a
second. What are the good reasons What's wrong, Devon, the
government take the lead.
He's going to tell you
to be the lead on that. First of all, we're not credible with the
people Who might be receiving those messages? Second?
Because you're not credible, and the people who would might be
receiving those messages are US citizens. Remember, it's the
children who
the government is emitting that our own government is admitting
that it's not credible with
with with the children whose minds are twisted easily by
propaganda from ISIS. Yes.
Oh, yeah, a government to be the lead on that. First of all,
we're not credible with the people who might be receiving
those messages. I
thought he was supposed to be the hit President, the one who
was credible with the kids. Misunderstanding
is Second of all, it's dangerous. If the government
gets in the business of propaganda.
He wants the tech leader to creating He Will Smith, Mr.
Smith, and move on to the sort to the podium. And he's, he's
asking the tech leaders to
prop a job in the government. What he's doing is passing it
off.
It's also fascism.
It is fascist dangerous
if the government gets in the business of propaganda. So what
I said to them was, will help convene and put you guys in a
room together, where the resources that are necessary, we
can help provide it. But
what kind of resources donuts bagels, just the room, a
whiteboard internet connection, you could go to Starbucks, why
do you need to have these children there and your
propaganda chamber,
essentially, you figure out how we can reach young people who
might be vulnerable to extremist messages,
you tell us I'm smelling free money.
That's what I'm smelling
tell us based on the analytics and the data and the algorithms
that you're
up chat room is correct. Besides donuts, and a whiteboard, we
will be providing Nutella, for all all of you tech leaders who
are coming to the White House
to extremist messages, you tell us based on the analytics and
the data and
the analytics and the data and algorithms we're
working with on a day to day basis to
you saying something here that I hadn't needed to comment on,
hold on, what is it saying?
Algorithms that you're working with on a day to day basis to
sell products? What is it that's gonna really penetrate here?
Okay. You mean the algorithm that shows me the very item I
just purchased for three weeks in a row? Is that the algorithm
that you wanted to apply to stop ISIS from twisting my own
children's minds? Is that what you're talking about? Mr.
President, shut up. The idea. You're right, John, there's a
money grab coming up and the tech leaders, I consider you to
be a tech leader. You should have been there. I should have
been I'm a tech leader. I'm in Austin. I'm not here. I'm not
invited to the party to you.
But you're some sort of virtual sense. True. Well,
the President made it funny joke. He actually had a couple
of jokes. He was pretty good.
When we passed the Recovery Act, this the stimulus that was very
controversial at the time, and that continues to be criticised
by the other party, despite the fact that unemployment is now
below 5%.
Well, hold on a second stop. This stimulus was never
criticised by the other party.
Well, unemployment is also not 5%.
And then the place this is bullcrap that I mean, the
stimulus the idea of the stimulus came from the Bush
administration to begin with, it's just the Obama guys took it
over and took credit for it. And then the other party started to
bitch and moan. But they weren't mentioned and moaning about the
basic idea. They're just bitching and moaning because
they weren't getting credit for it anymore. And then there was
then then they spent the first two or three years of the Obama
administration blaming bush for everything, which was
convenient, because Bush, I mean, the Bush administration,
they should have seen this common and like the nurse who
gives the patient oxygen on the on the graveyard shift, shift to
keep them from dying at night. They should have pushed the
thing forward into the Obama administration and let the whole
economy collapse under his they screwed up.
The President, I'm convinced the President knows he's talking out
of his butt when he says this, which is why he throws in a
joke. And it's a self deprecating joke, which I like
about it, but he also mumbles kind of, he's frustrated if you
listen to this bit. He's frustrated that he's not getting
the credit he feels he deserves
out employments now below 5%.
We think he believes is below 5%.
Of course he does. Yeah, of course he does. But he's not
lying. The unemployment numbers. 5% doesn't mean that that
reflects the true unemployment saying, Alright, don't step on
it. Otherwise, you'll miss it. It's
now below 5% We avoided the great depression but Thanks
Obama what's good?
Is that was actually very good. It was very well timed. It
actually had a lot of comics that should be you know, he
waited for the applause to die data but he didn't get the
applause was too early because he said, you know, by avoided
the Great Depression, but you don't really hear that, but he's
clearly frustrated that people don't recognise him for that
percent.
We avoided a great depression but Thanks, Obama.
In a Great Depression, for all practical purposes is Thanks for
nothing is what I'd say.
Thanks, Obama. So here's my
pleasure. All right. You should it's ice out.
i Oh, you did? Thanks, Obama. Of course, it's
ice Of course, of course score scores. Okay,
I'm doing this card legacy. I'm sorry. All right. So far legacy.
There'll be a plaque somewhere next to a men's bathroom. That
here we go in a park. This is chronologic order. And now we
get into the president crux of the President's message that he
wants to deliver besides please commit propaganda. We're gonna
give you resources, Nutella, Maru come to the, with his money
as money maybe. So now we get into Snowden. And I appreciated
the president dispelling the rumour that the services we have
the United States government are not quite like what you'd see on
CSI, or NCIS. What does it what do you watch? CSI NCIS NCIS,
the enhanced size the one that really goes overboard with the
nonsense? Yes, COC CSI
Cyber, does that still exist? Yeah, that one doing quite?
Well. The President did make a pretty funny joke about that.
And let's face it, the whole Snowden disclosure episode,
elevated people's suspicions of this. So does popular culture,
by the way, which makes it appear as if you know, I'm in
the sit room and I'm moving things.
You've been watching homeland.
I'm half fingerprint. You know, half an hour later, I'm tracking
the guy on the streets of Istanbul. It's not nearly that
cool. Turns out it doesn't work. Sometimes I'm just trying to get
a connection.
Good, though, it's fun. Yeah, another good one, I liked it. So
once you got the crowd laughing, then you got to, you got to hone
in on him. Now we're gonna go in and talk to him for real as he
was. Now. Now we get down to the crux of the apple crack, because
it's South by Southwest. And, you know, these are the tech
leaders. And these are the people who are going to have the
conversation and are going to determine the future of America
as we tried to balance security versus privacy
versus security debate.
Well, first of all, I can't comment on the specific case.
Right. So let's set that aside.
Yeah, he's the president. Of course,
he can do whatever he wants. Now, shoot, I should I can't
comment on the guy's dead. I wish
I had clipped it. Because at the end, he says, the guys are
probably we're out of time. Thank you for coming. And the
President of President Obama says, Well, I'm the president.
I'm gonna have one more minute here, which was funny, and I
didn't clip it, because I should have in this context of this was
a good comment. And that of course he can he's the
president. He can comment on anything he feels like. Correct?
Yeah. versus security
debate. Is that what what is he? What? What? If he wasn't the
president? Why couldn't he comment? There's no reason the
guy is dead. It's about a phone and some negotiations going on.
Yeah. And Apple, you can say whatever you want, you can
comment. Maybe
he's under and maybe he's part of the grand jury. He
doesn't want to die. He doesn't want to comment. That's what he
should say. I don't want to comment
that would have been more honest. I agree.
First of all, I can't comment on the specific case. Right. So And
the guy goes, right, right. And this guy, this guy, I will say
was one of those journalists from a newspaper was, you know,
head out. He had a million questions. The President really
didn't let them ask his questions. At the hearing. His
body language is all leaning back. Like I because he wanted
to a serious interview, I'm gonna duck to the President. The
President had none other than having none of that. If that
noise boys move away, I'm going to tell you, we're gonna run
this interview. So now when the guy has a chance to say, well,
that's bullcrap. You can do it right, right, back, back, back,
back back. Like I can't
comment on the specific case. Right? So let's set that aside.
All of us value our privacy. And this is a society that is built
on a kind constitution and a Bill of Rights and a healthy
scepticism about overreaching government power. So we've got
two values, both of which are important. Right, right. Right.
Right. And the question we now have to ask is if,
technologically it is possible to make an impenetrable device
or system where the encryption is so strong that there's no
key. There's no door
at all. He corrected himself well there,
then how do we apprehend
well, and ask John if we have an imprinted, impenetrable box, how
do we apprehend? What's the top of the list survey says
terrorists
that is not the top side that is not the number one concern. I
don't I don't understand how you can have that wrong. Bad doers.
No, not bad doers. You shouldn't evil doer. Now, how do we
apprehend the child pornographer? How do we solve? A
or disrupt a terrorist plot?
Ooh, he caught himself there. He caught himself caught himself.
What do you say again? He said again, but again saw
I mean, stop, saw binding stop.
How do we solve a or disrupt a terrorist plot? What mechanisms
do we have available? To even do simple things like tax
enforcement?
Whoa, I'm thinking any one of these black boxes now.
If in fact, you can't crack that at all government can't get in.
Then everybody's walking around with a Swiss bank account in
their pocket.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Yeah, it sounds good. But it sounds like bull crap. Well, of
course it's bullcrap.
We had the bullcrap is encryption exists. If you don't
need to encrypt, you own your encrypted iPhone, if you have
something you want to keep encrypted, you can do it and
it's not going to be easy to get at it. You don't
have a Swiss bank account in your pocket.
Exactly. Was this swishing but this was should be outraged.
They have done nothing but turnover information to us? Yes,
bank account is totally sold. That is so not true. Now, here,
the President continues on this. And I'm flabbergasted by some of
the things he said we're going
to have to make some decisions about how do we balance these
respective risks. And I've got a bunch of smart people sitting
there talking about it, thinking about it, a bunch
of smart people may be there in the Nutella room,
we have engaged the tech community aggressively
aggressively,
I'll say, to help
solve this problem. When I my conclusion so far is is that you
cannot take an absolutist view on this,
Oh, hold on a second. The encryption is absolutist. The
definition of encryption is absolutist. There's no
additional key or it's not encryption.
So if your argument is strong encryption, no matter what, and
we can and should, in fact, create black boxes that I think
does not strike the kind of balance that we have lived with
for 200 300 years. And it's fetishizing. Why
you wait for it, wait for it, you're stepping all over
everything today,
or 200 300 years, and it's fetishizing. Our phones above
every other value, and that can't be that can't be the right
answer.
What was the question? That was the answer
that well, he's just the question is, should we have
black boxes? And if we say yes, then we are fetishizing our
phones
30 have fetishized the phone.
I mean, hello. Does this guy ever look at anything? Does he
look at people
wandering around staring at these things walking the talk,
oh, walking into trees have
this new thing I do. Because when I walk down to Starbucks,
so it's down my elevator out the door, and I've crossed one
street and then it's on the far corner, the next street. And
because it's Starbucks and even if I'm just going to the blue
grocer, which is our little local grocer. I have to walk
past a Starbucks now with South by is a million people in from
the Starbucks. And then they're walking towards me on their
phone and I have this new trick. So they're walking towards you.
And so they don't quite have you in their view yet. And when
you're walking you, you slammed on your face worked really hard.
It's even better if there's a metal grate or something. Man,
it's so cool to watch them jump.
Now let's get this let me forget to. Okay, you see, they're all
everybody's looking at their phone of course. Yes. So some
now how many feet away? Are they? When you pull this stunt
about? I'd say seven to about seven feet. No. 10 feet 10 feet
away.
Okay, so somebody's coming up 10 feet away, and they're doing
the, the normal, modern millennial thing where you're
looking at the phone and you're trying to use what little
peripheral vision you have outside the phone? You're trying
to read something? Yes, yeah, to see if there's anything moving
that you're going to walk into? Exactly. Because most of these
people have walked into enough trees or fallen off curbs. Then
they've learned their lesson. And now they're developing new
skills. Yes. So they can walk in, they can walk and look at
the phone. So they're walking. And so they're about 10 feet
away. You stomp on something I just
started as, as I'm walking towards them, I
either walking right towards them or to the side to the side.
Okay, so you're in the right lane. They're in the left lane
as if it were cars, and you're walking toward them, and you're
gonna walk by them. If everything goes, if you didn't
do anything, you'd walk right by him, right? You wouldn't walk
into him. Because I say my I'd be more inclined to like slowly
move or so they walk into you.
I don't want to have a confrontation. I just want to
just move on to the bumping. Hey,
well, I was lucky enough as I'm walking there. And it's the it's
the rear entrance of the W Hotel, where there was a great
you know, and I just like just hitting my bone. That was
beautiful.
Then they jump. Yeah. That's good. If your goal then it's
like, you know, my goal is always to get people to spit out
water
or something. My goal is just to see him jump,
you're know your grill goal should be to see them jump
and drop the phone. Exactly. I will report back the phone. It's
like cow tipping. I will report back Oh, holy cow. Here we go
value.
And that can be that can't be the right answer. I suspect that
the answer is going to come down to how do we create a system
where the encryption is as strong as possible. The key is
as secure as possible. It is accessible by the smallest
number of people possible for a salary that we agree are
important, how we designed to get it,
wait for it, wait for
it, not something that I have
the expertise Now hold on a second. This really bothered me
what he said here,
subset of issues that we agree are important. How we design
that is not something that I have the expertise,
isn't he a constitutional lawyer isn't that exactly. But he's
supposed to have the expertise in what he's talking about the
he knows no expertise in actual may No, no, no, listen to it.
Again. He said no, listen to it again,
for a subset of issues that we are going back a little bit.
He's talking about the issues accessible by the smallest
number of people.
This is what he's talking about. He's talking about what he feels
should be the way I work. You're wrong. I was listened to
is as secure as possible. It is accessible by the smallest
number of people possible for a subset of issues that we agree
are important. How we design that is not something that I
have the expertise to do. Well,
I book I guess you could see it both ways. To me is how we
design that how we design that balance is what I thought no,
no.
No, not even close. All right. All right.
Then I had this is the final bit. Oh, yes. final bit, where
he's wrapping it all up. And of course he's Oh, you know, there
was little interim thing. That was kind of interesting. Because
he was pretty negative on he was pretty negative on Texas.
He was Yeah,
I mean, I was making jokes about about voter registration.
Oh, yeah, Texas guy could see him getting old. Yeah. And he,
yeah, he got that don't say uppity man. That's racist. Don't
say that.
Here you go. I'll give you a second example. And that is the
issue of voting. I mentioned this earlier. We're the only
advanced democracy in the world that makes it harder for people
to vote. No, you're laughing but it's it's sad. We take enormous
pride in the fact that we are the world's oldest continuous
democracy and yet no system.
No
holding the buzzer. Iceland kicks our ass in that regard.
Hold on. Let us go back to the videotape.
We take enormous pride in the fact that we are the world's
oldest continuous democracy
what what is the correct answer?
Jhansi to Iceland Iceland is and there's actually another one. I
can't remember what it is. But there's another continuous
democracy that goes
way. Yeah, the journalist guy should have called him out.
And yeah, now the journalist guy doesn't know what he's talking
about. Well,
he was a journalist guy,
you go to Iceland, by the way, and you go anywhere you go. They
tape telling you this is a democracy than you ever were.
world's oldest continuous democracy. And yet, we
systematically put up barriers and make it as hard as possible
for our citizens to vote.
Actually a republic that is true.
I don't have to play the rest, you understand how that went? We
would disagree with most of what he said,
Now back to his damage is gonna sit here and kibitz you better
to get to the
this is the last one we're rolling. We're wrapping it up.
The President's wrapping it up. He's getting ready to go. I am
way on the civil liberties side of this thing. I, I anguish a
lot over the decisions we make in terms of how to keep this
country safe. And I am not interested in overthrowing the
values that have made us an exceptional and great nation,
simply for expediency. Because we've
made expediency, which is I think he, he means, you know,
the ability to use a couple digits of passcode on your phone
simply for expediency? Because we make compromises all the
time. Well, you know, I haven't flown commercial in a while. But
my understanding is,
we're now going to now remember, we're still talking about the
black box, the Swiss bank account in your pocket. And he
is now going to tell us that we make these kinds of freedom
compromises all the time,
while but my understanding is it's not great fun. Going
through security. Now, when we make the confession, because
it's a very, it's a big intrusion on our privacy, but we
recognise it as important. We have stops for drunk drivers. So
it's, it's a, it's an intrusion. But we think it's the right
thing to do.
Not everybody in Texas thinks it's the right thing to do.
And this notion that somehow our data is different, and can be
walled off from those other trade offs we make, I believe,
is incorrect.
Now, this is interesting. This is this is truly the crux of the
intellectual debate, the is our privacy when it's digitised
different, or is it the same? And interestingly enough, I
think that the pro privacy advocates are saying it's the
same. The president here is saying, why is that different?
Or am I in lack of B 12? Again,
I don't even know what you said, Well,
what did he say? Here?
trade off tradeoffs we make, I believe is incorrect. We do have
to make sure, given the power of the internet and how much
fertiliser digitalize that it is narrow, and
to heat. Okay.
If you don't understand it, then no one will understand. I don't
know understand what he's talking about.
He's, as he's saying, The we give up freedoms to travel
safely, so that there's no drunk drivers on the road. We give up
those freedoms. The he's saying, well, we should give up this.
There's no, there's no freedom about getting on an aeroplane
that's in the Constitution that requires anything that they
cannot remember to do or not to do. Correct. So there's no we're
not giving up any freedoms, there's no freedom involved.
Freedom of movement.
It's not you still have freedom of movement, you can move
around, okay. Moving on a private aircraft, okay. How
don't buy somebody else. There's no freedom to do that. It's,
it's something you have to even buy to do to do. Okay. This is
not a comparison that makes any sense to next question.
These other comparison was traffic stops. Which if you're
under no suspicion, you do not have to comply with.
This is true that these good courts have determined that to
be true. Yeah.
But he's saying what all he's saying is saying we give up this
so he's what's true or not, he's saying that you give up this.
Why should your data be any different you should be giving
up your data.
This is a false analogy. As far as I'm concerned, I'm
in agreement to make sure or, given the power of the internet
and one know
why he's discussing this to such an ridiculous extreme. You don't
try to convince there's everyone in the audience that you're in
Austin. They're all stoned. Very few that people have a clue what
he's talking about. They're just there to gloat to be there to be
the to tweet it to Periscope, so they could tweet it. And then
take a stupid picture, a selfie with him in the back face
baggers. They're all faced baggers.
But the President makes an assumption here is that is
concerning?
Sure. Given the power of the internet, and how much
fertiliser digitalize that it is narrow, and it is constrained,
and that there's oversight. And I
joke of this, the irony and stupidity of this whole thing is
that if you consider that these people are all faced beggars,
you're giving them most of their privacy, voluntarily on face
bag.
When you're right, you're right,
and it is constrained and that there's oversight. And I'm
confident this is something that we can solve. But we're going to
need the tech community tech software designers, people who
care deeply about this stuff, to help us solve it.
Okay, so that's what we need. We need you all y'all use smart
people to help us to solve this problem, or else
because what will happen is if, if, if everybody goes to the
respective corners, and the tech community says, You know what,
we either we have strong perfect encryption, or else, it's Big
Brother and Orwellian world. What you'll find is that after
something really bad happens, the politics of this will swing
and it will become sloppy, and rushed. And it will go through
Congress in ways that have not been thought through. And then
you really will have a dangerous to to our civil liberties,
because we will not know,
did he just call for a false flag event?
That's what I heard every other meeting they do that? He said,
because it's the thing that Kerry keeps bringing up let's
just bomb them casually. Yeah, Syrian thing. Yeah, some very
funny news stories going around anyway, go on.
So he just called for false flag. Okay, I heard as well. I
want to listen again. I want to listen again, the politics
of this will swing and
back a little bit more. I'm done just obsessing. Yes, I know.
What I find is that after something really bad happens,
the politics of this will swing and it will become sloppy and
rushed. And it will go through Congress in ways that have not
been thought through.
I just just the tents that he's using and everything. I don't
like it. It will go through Congress.
I'm not getting I'm not getting that brought the chat room got
it immediately. Calling for a
false flag. Okay. He's not calling for one. But he's saying
this is what will happen. Yeah, well, not what can happen. This
is what will happen. That's what he said. Okay, so what he says
the matter will words matter. Words matter.
Thanks, Obama.
Thanks, Obama. All right. Thanks, Obama. Thanks, Obama.
Used to be your ringtone. Thanks, Obama.
Whenever I get it whenever you send me a text messages, one of
my phone to go Thanks, Obama. Oh, John's texting me. Yeah,
that's a good idea. Thanks, Obama. Brother. All right, the
floor is yours. Well, I
think we should go to a break and then I will discuss
something that's a very important to no one's talking
about. All right.
I'm going to show my move by Joanie to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
we have a very few people to thank for the second or second
little segment here and we had a slow day. It was still in the
mail too. There's like two pieces of mail came in to one
check that wasn't listed. And the
odd is there some some slightly worse,
like the last the last show? The mailbox is full of checks. So I
don't know some of the
random number. Check out the check thing people.
But let's go and start with mica Gafford. Mica, mica, mica, mica,
mica on two doors from Milwaukee is
an interesting note here I think what is this?
Yeah, he says going to be my magic number birthday. And
despite being the only income earner with six kids, because my
awesome wife homeschools them and falling officially below the
poverty line. I couldn't help but To save up to squeezing this
donation I need to de douching I like to give me the douching
yes, there we go.
You've been de deuced
I'd like to call out Dexter as a douche bag in the mouth a while
back and he loves the show but not enough to donate yet. I
guess. He happens to also have a 3/16 birthday like me, so throw
him in the birthday call out if you see it. They're both in
there. Thanks. Sorry. May not be like so. Call out if you'd like
my $102 number comes from adding my month date plus year. Did I
get it 33 is the magic number jingle Well, yeah, I can do that
real considering you got six the magic, please stated, is he been
33 Kids is that the reason for this? Oh no. Sure he's on his
way.
So who else is just him as a birthday who else? Him and
his buddy Dexter and Dexter douche Dexter to douche bag and
we got him calm thanks to the douche bag so the douche bag all
right. Okay, Jason wall comes in with an ad dollars and eight
cents oh wait a minute. He comes in twice with ad dollars and
eight cents what's up with by the way 8008 will be is also I'm
going to mention this in the newsletter is also the first
true Intel microprocessor ah they used to be a 4004 which
people would say that's the real one that was no the 808 so first
one that was practical. Anyway, he says this is an intentional
second donation my fiancee pointed out 1808 donation she's
calling it would be unbalanced. Hmm. I wonder if there's some
joke about ad that's probably
that's probably a sex joke.
Yeah, there's some to that show. Some we don't get someone's

noisemakers. Yeah, and they slipped this thing in, which is
the Mountain Dew. Dale earnhardt jr. duck call. Nice to hear it.
Yeah. Yeah. And you actually had to blow into it to get it to do
this
that's a duck call.
Well, in the commercial, the new commercial dale earnhardt jr.
comes out of the out of duck thing with his car driving.
Okay, Danny, Danny riles up all the ducks.
That's cool. So it's electronics in it that's triggered by your
breath or something a blow
into that's that's cute. Yeah, very cute.
I found a cute clip collectible. I found a cute clip of a see the
Polk County sheriff in South Florida. Sheriff Grady Judd,
just to make sure we get some redneck on the programme but it
was just hilarious what he did in this video he has a real
problem with Apple and and then newfangled in the iPhone devices
and you know they should open it up so we can get rid of terse
cannot create a business model to go. We're not paying
attention to the federal judge, or to the state judge. You see,
we're above the law. The CEO of Apple needs to know he's not
above the law. And neither is anyone else in the United
States. Because I can assure you right now that the United States
Supreme Court is not going to say, so you got a product. You
got a business model here that allows you not to comply with
legal court orders executed by the government. It'll never
stand. but believe you me if I get a toehold in this county,
and I can get us the State Attorney's Office to agree to
prosecute and a judge to back us up with it. I want the rascal
up.
Just left thinking of Tim Cook as being the rascal he locked
up. Right up here you rascal. Lightner, rascal, oh, the rascal
I like that rascal up. I tell you.
Sure. You will. big talker.
America. Come on, man. Come on America.
Well, I saw I ran into I think one of the more suppressed
stories based on a UN report. And I felt this story was
moderately interesting, since we've only heard from George
Clooney recently when he condemned Trump. And well,
George Clooney, of course, was notorious for helping get this
set up the South Sudan a new country.
Yes. And he had his eye in the sky, his scent a century project
where he's project, right in the sky century. Project century.
Yes.
And so he's, you know, do gooder. And he was working with
this Prendergast guy also
organise the Haiti benefits. Remember that? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's that too. But I want to stick with the Sudan
thing because I want to start with this play this South Sudan
repressed report. This has not been I believe I scour the I
didn't see this even on democracy. Now. I did not hear
about it on any of the news stations. It's not in our
interest, I guess to discuss this
report detailing horrific crimes against humanity. Children and
the disabled burned to live parents forced to watch their
children being gang raped, women and young girls abducted as
payment for soldiers. South Sudan claimed its independence
just five years ago. The United Nations now says it has one of
the worst human rights records in the world, and that its
government bears most of the blame.
The United Nations is calling it one of the most horrendous human
rights situations in the world. The report today accusing the
South Sudan Government have grotesque rights violations,
including the systematic rape of women and girls, according to
the UN civilians, including children have been murdered. The
report says the government allowed soldiers to rape and
pillage in lieu of wages
in lieu of wages. Sounds like a good deal. Yeah, yeah. Good
deal. And so I Where's Clooney? Yeah,
he doesn't have pictures. He might have pictures of it as
he's supposed to. This is his whole thing. He has pictures of
what everyone's doing in salsa. Yeah.
Well, he doesn't seem to be coming out of the woodwork does
he? Need you know how to set this thing up? This is the
background. You're here on the street a little more
information. So we all know at least these people listen to our
show will know that South Sudan is become a outrageous hellhole.
Since its independence.
There has been profound suffering on the civilian
population. So the conflict that began in December 2013, has
intensified in 2015, particularly in one state Unity
State, where there's been a push by the government, both sort of
the military leadership and the political leadership to displace
kill, rape, abduct and pillage large portions of the civilian
population and the consequences that there's been much terror
in Geneva UN officials and the suffering in the region risks
being forgotten.
The situation is extremely serious. 10s of 1000s children
lives are at risk. And there is a need for a similar and
increasing level of commitment in a place that we stopped the
describing as as as a forgotten emergency.
South Sudan won its independence in 2011 a move that was supposed
to bring peace but since fighting erupted in 2013 1000s
have been killed and millions more displaced.
Thanks Obama.
Hey, go is your friend or grass CIA George Clooney good work.
Oh, hold on. You've got some distraction. Now they right on a
woman, I guess she's a boots on the ground there and she just
kind of summarise things. It's kind of a mini report. And since
it's worth playing, it's the final. This is all on Deutsche
availa by the way it was on it not on the BBC. It wasn't on ABC
News. Of
course not. Of course. No, it
was not anything.
Well, it's interesting because there have been several human
rights reports that have been published over the course of the
conflict. But this report in particular accuses most of the
governments and allied militia of human rights violations. The
report focuses mostly on the most recent phase of the
conflict in the southern part of the United States, which is a
very old area of South Sudan. And basically what happened here
in the final stages of this conflict was that the government
launched a major military offensive to regain some of
these areas from the rebel movement led by Riek Machar and
accompanied by his military campaign were really horrific
atrocities against the civilian population with the main
objective of really removing any kind of possible support for
React Machado Smederevo movement
no agenda show provides at least something up listed to Hulu.
So just about Clooney, you know, he's changed handler. So what's
his face?
Brenda grass Pendergrast.
I don't think he handles them anymore. It's his wife, Amal,
and she's just she has a whole other agenda. She's all about
the Muslim tip. Yeah, there's some. He's a goner.
Now working with that other guy anymore.
Yeah, he's out. He's out. Thanks, Obama. Disappointed.
Thanks, Obama. Excellent. Follow up. Oh, did you see this
declassified news about? Well, the drones that were used to spy
on American citizens, no,
high tech, military spy drones. They've been used to track ISIS
and the Taliban. And according to this one's classified
internal government review. They've also been used to spy on
US soil. The investigation by the Department of Defence
Inspector General found that's happened fewer than 20 times
since 2006. But some of those non military missions are
blacked out in this document still top secret.
It's clear that the American people think that, you know, any
kind of aerial spying is very sensitive.
The Pentagon has made public this partial list of missions,
mainly our emergency preparedness training exercises,
and also responses to natural disasters like forest fires and
floods. And Ohio in 2015. At the request of Governor John Kasich,
a spy drone participated in this emergency training exercise
called Guardian shield. And South Carolina drone was called
in by FEMA in 2015. To help in emergency response to flooding,
the IG report found in all cases the drone use was quote, fully
compliant with laws. The IG also highlighted some drone requests
that were denied by the Secretary of Defence.
Okay, pay attention John, I gotta kick her in this clip for
you.
One Mayor what had military spy drones to be used in his town to
check for potholes?
Yeah, that's us. How about you spending the money not on the
drone but on the pot
Thanks, Obama.
Isn't that great? Yeah. Was it? Yeah, it was in the $30 million
worth of aircraft. To kind of look at to go look at the
potholes at this clip. This clip isn't extra that when I this
came to be I'm like, Oh, wow, was it John's birthday already?
What is your birthday? April 5? Yeah, April 5. Yeah. This clip
came as a gift. The state
recently passed a law allowing West Virginians to drink raw
unpasteurized milk. No,
this is an interesting story before it is no agenda history
that we have discussed many times in the back I'm gonna say
the three four hundreds maybe maybe even earlier. The use of
raw milk and you are a big proponent of raw milk you find
it delicious actually. You like raw milk? Right tasty. And we
had a government come in and arresting people at the dairies
because the this
is the way Milk Milk used to be. Sold always but okay, right.
Right. But so this is good. So we have a law now, which is kind
of weird when you think about how weird is it that we have to
have a law that allows you drink raw milk?
Yeah, yeah. They're
low energy, man. You're low energy.
Raw milk was that that was far as it went. No, no, I got
involved in oh, by the way of all states. West Virginia, is a
dairy state.
I know. That's why it's so so odd. But but the clip is, is
telling the state
recently passed a law allowing West Virginians to drink raw on
pass pasteurised milk. So the people responsible for passing
the law decided to drink it when one delegate brought it in to
share. Then they all got sick
they interviewed a guy he's on a gurney, he's on a gurney. He's
been puking his guts out that was turns out in this report,
but just cut it down this suspicion there was food for
food poisoning food poisoning. Going around to the office and
that was responsible and this guy's like, and then they turn
it into into still an anti raw milk. The native ad kind
of, huh, some are saying it's just a coincidence, and that a
stomach bug is going around,
caught me in the hallway and offers
grant that raw milk propaganda. Well,
this guy is on a gurney is a gurney. And he's saying I don't
think it was the raw milk but you know, the whole the image is
there.
There was missing as the IV and around,
taught me in the hallway and offered a cup to me and want to
try to be a gentleman I had a small sip and then walked away
and tossed the rest of it now I highly doubt
drink it yet a small sip and he says he's saying he highly doubt
do that. So they're being journalistically Correct.
They're saying but may not have been that but but listen to the
end, gentlemen,
I had a small sip and then walked away and tossed the rest
of it. Now I highly doubt raw milk had anything to do with it.
In my case.
I know raw milk can carry a higher risk of containing
dangerous bacteria and parasites. But supporters say
it's much more nutritious, nutritious
supporters, supporters, supporters. They may have a fan
club these supporters. Thanks, Obama. You never know. Any
anything. Anything going to be
in New York on my birthday? Oh, nice. I'm thinking of just doing
a quick meet up.
Ooh, good. Well, now you're taking the fam.
Yeah, I'm taking the family. Maybe I'll do a meet up with the
whole family every day. Everyone can now meet the divorced
family.
Oh, yeah. But I'll put money right now on this that not all
of your family will show up? Well, it's putting money on it.
I'll put money you know who show up Mimi. Mimi loves it. She gets
to meet her face beggar friends.
Yeah. Okay, I've got a clip. Here's one. This only shows up
this shows up on the progressive radio this probably show up on
that crazy station you listen to because they won't play this on
the mainstream at all. They won't play it on the Democrat
stations the Debbie Schultz CLIP OF THE WORLD WAR washer woman
show.
We have the leader of the Democratic Party Congresswoman
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the Democratic National
Committee, who wants to work with Republicans to gut
financial regulations against the payday lending industry and
industry by the way, that makes hundreds of millions of dollars
preying on low income Americans. This is coming from the leader
of the Democratic Party and she wants to gut something that
Senator Elizabeth Warren put in place to protect consumers ooh
that's that's a double whammy no I don't know anything about it
No Yeah. Shelves fingers because she's she's not a saleable in
her. She's running a you know, every copies every two years
now. She's a House member, but she thinks she's unassailable.
And so they're attacking her with there's a couple of guys
there's guy progressive, a Bernie Sanders like guy going
after her in her district to try to get her house that she could
actually be ousted into let in her last year as the democratic
national chairman, which would be great. I think she's a
horrible person.
Yeah, I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan about although I like her
for the show because she's funny to watch and she has sometimes
she says dumb things. I like that.
So here's another one. This is Oh, actually, here's a couple.
This one here this I did a rod incident brought to mind some
thinking this is
the big sled race up there and in the last class,
a shocking act of sabotage at the idea rod to me that is
musher Ali Zirkel after she and another competitor Jeff King,
repeatedly ambushed by a man on a snowmobile. Kings lead dog
Nash was killed. A number of other dogs were injured. A
suspect has been arrested. Wow. getting rough.
It turned out to be a drunken Eskimo. And or whatever they
call them. And Native American John. No, no, it's something
else. There's a specific word for
Native Alaskan.
No, no, no. Jim was permitted to Chad Romano,
a brown guy. Well,
he whatever he wasn't drunk. At least he says he was but they
kept going apparently coming back after her and she thought
he's trying to kill her. Anyway Inuit Yes, he's an Inuit. At
least from what I can tell funny looks like now, why I got
interested in the stories not for the that part of it is I've
swore that I heard about three couple months, maybe less than a
month ago. I'm not sure when on the radio, the I did a rod has
been cancelled because of global warming.
I didn't I missed this one. Yeah.
And so I decided to look it up. Yeah. And so what what I found
was that in 2012, there were stories about I did Iran having
to move because of global warming. 2013 there was I did a
ride had to move, then I couldn't find 2014 I finally
found it. 2014 I did a rod had to go to Fairbanks because of
global warming. 2015 Global warming has changed that it did
arrive. Pathways. There's no snow in Alaska. And so this
every year, apparently and I'm betcha I can go back further
than in 2012. They've had this meme going around every year.
The I didn't arrive it had to move because there's no snow or
global as all global warming. That's a good catch. Now I was
just so when I heard this story about I did arise i Wait a
minute, I thought there was no I didn't write any more because
there's no snow in Alaska, we
can we can likely predict when this one will be used again.
Next year. Right. But there's probably something else coming
up soon. Something else it'll either be too hot. Like really,
really scorching hot.
Always something. Yeah. Well, that's. So my last clip. Well,
let
me just let me throw let me just to mix it up a little bit. I'll
just throw one in just a little update or one, two, if you got
them. Okay, you got two,
I'll do two. No, I only have one that I have to I have to I have
to Thanks, Obama. So just an update
on the Oregon oath or situation is there has been a development
there's something new going on. Then whenever you know, in
America, of course, we're always very worried when law
enforcement kills a civilian. Except, yeah, except Except when
it's all worked out. I guess it's really rare. Yeah. And
especially if, you know, law enforcement was superseded
secretly by one of our federal agencies like the FBI that day
and for some reason, one wouldn't big news. This is local
investigators figure speeds of 70 miles an hour. And it was
going at least 50.
This is what is new in this is a in car video shot by the woman.
We played this woman previously, when Roy, I'm sorry, was LaVoy
Finicum. was, you know, he said, Okay, I'm going to drive away
and then he hit the snowbank and he hit the roadblock and then he
got killed. And so she has video of this. It's a little different
than what we learned the first time around
vestigators figure speeds of 70 miles an hour. And he was going
at least 50 When he slammed into a snowbank at the road.
The moment of the crash as Finicum got out of the truck,
someone from the FBI, maybe two people fired. One bullet broke
the side window. Another apparently came from behind and
above into the roof of the truck.
particular concern to all of us is that the FBI HRT operators
did not disclose their shots to our investigators. Nor did they
disclose specific actions they took after the shooting.
That's why federal investigators are now digging into who fired
from where and why, man,
but a murderer. They should just charge these people with murder.
They put a stop to it now.
Where's the outrage?
No, thanks, Obama. Then we have right wingers
LM we have a little update some
major fallout in the Wounded Warrior charity investigation,
the CEO and CEO of the charity were just fired. In 2014. The
Wounded Warrior Project raised $300 million in donations.
However, public records reported by Charity Navigator showed the
Wounded Warrior Project spends only 60 cents of every dollar on
veterans. CBS News spoke to more than 40 former employees who
described a charity with spending that's out of control.
Well, they certainly succeeded in their mission, didn't they?
Well, they got rid of the house guys. Yeah, they
were the numbers were pretty normal for most charities, but
the one that really I think was the funny, the funny icing on
the cake with this was the
Segway.
What was the Segway
that he came in on a Segway?
Oh, no, no, that funny icing on the cake was George Bush. It was
listed as one of the problems he gave a speech to the wounded
warriors organisation, I guess to this was one of the part of
the group. Yeah. And he dinged him for $100,000. That was his
tab, which is about right for next president, as opposed to
Clinton who gets millions. So he got 100,000 bucks and so
everyone's up in arms. Why? Why would George W. Bush charge
these poor wounded veterans for did give a speech you should do
it for free. Right. And so that was a big scandal, I think is
semi scandalous, but at the same time, yeah, there's plenty of
things that George Bush isn't going to do at all. He doesn't
really like to do anything. And to get him to do a speech for
undergrad is probably the best shot.
Good deal, I'd say. Yeah. Not quite sure why but Hillary
charges 250. Yeah, that's and that's a deal. Well, she says,
but I'm not sure why NBC did this. But they put together a
headpiece package on Putin, based on some kind of older news
and then really went back and just made him look like a, like
a killer, I guess.
For his aggressive control of Russian media mica lesson was
called the bulldozer while serving Russian President
Vladimir Putin. Now new information about his death in a
Washington DC hotel is raising questions about a man Putin
publicly praised when he died late last year, but who had an
apparent falling out with Putin's associates in late 2014
and stepped down from running a media empire. Four months after
lessons death police and the medical examiner now say he died
of quote blunt force injuries of the head and head injuries to
his neck, torso, arms and legs. Police say surveillance video
shows him entering the hotel the night he died looking to shovel
suggesting he might have been injured before coming back here.
This suspicious death of a former Kremlin insider raises
obvious concern obvious British authorities a former Russian spy
Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned possibly on orders from
Putin and a fierce critic Boris Nemtsov was shot and killed in
Moscow shortly before he was to lead a protest.
Yep, well, the nimsoft thing has been looked at from all kinds of
different angles. And it seems as though that head of the
Chechnya ins that's in bed with Putin, sure.
But that's not the point of it's not about facts. Come on. Hello.
It's not about fact, because they put this piece together
Putin's a killer. Killer killer kills his own feelings,
probably.
Yeah, I'm guessing that is in lead up to a one of these one
hour specials about you know. And the BBC has done a number of
Yeah, you're right. You're right. Maybe they bought
something from BBC. Yeah. And they're gonna run that and this
is just a promotion.
Alright, then this is my last and then I want you to close it
out. Just because of the story. I wanted to bring it up and make
sure we pay attention to it because it's an ad it's a
parallel to something we've already seen. It's marketing.
The Sheen has triumphed over man in the complicated board game
Go. While the man is one of the world's top players, he proved
no match for a computer that were human was required to put
its chosen moves into practice losing three nil and a best of
five contest in Seoul, the sea doll was consoled by Google's
subsidiary Deep Mind behind the AlphaGo programme
AlphaGo can compute 10s of 1000s of positions per second. But
what's really incredible is that Lisa doll can compete with that,
just with the power of his mind and ingenuity, and stretched
AlphaGo to its limit in the last three games.
That computer programmes thought to approximate human intuition
in tackling the game popular in countries like China, South
Korea and Japan in which contestants move stones on a
square grid with the aim of seizing the most territory.
Please clap.
AlphaGo Well, this is going to be like IBM's Watson. And we're
going to have AlphaGo medical AlphaGo insurance estimation
AlphaGo homework?
Well, actually, this is this really more competes with deep
blue.
But that's that's just what I'm saying deep, deep blue Watson is
deep blues, consumer brand name DeepMind has AlphaGo as their
consumer brand name.
Well, I'm sure they're gonna do that. That is these robots,
which is all we're dealing with here. That dude expert systems,
which was first introduced in the 70s, I believe, or the 80s.
And never got anywhere because people didn't like him. They
weren't that good. And they're not that talented. But they make
him look so talented, because they can do this analysis, which
is okay. Not quite the same as being a doctor but probably a
lot cheaper. And we're gonna need something cheaper. And
there's no doctors don't people don't want to be doctors anymore
unless they're from India. And the whole thing is, it's an it's
a nightmare. But I'm sure do a great job at diagnosis.
What will be interesting, IBM is kind of knows how to brand.
Google is not always that successful. No,
they're very uncommon. So it'll be fun to watch. They're like,
and they're so insular, because they don't really like to mix it
up with the public at large, right? So that's when they do G
Plus is a piece of crap. When compared to Facebook, they were
hoping it was going to kick Facebook's. But yes, it didn't
do anything. It's just a horrible product. And
they're trying to revamp it. I've noticed they're trying to
revamp Oh, they just
keep trying Dench this hopeless. They got their photo thing,
which is kind of interesting, I guess
what's what I like about the only reason I'm on Google Plus
is because, well, two reasons. One is there's all the all the
hams, somehow they got tired of using yahoo, yahoo groups is
this kind of archaic. So they moved over to Google Groups, and
grabbed a Google Plus eventually. And the only other
reason for Google Plus is Mike algum. He posts there all the
time. He's fun to read.
He's very popular on the social network. Yeah, wasn't it? Was it
no one else is? I'm Mike, the king of why he made the decision
that the king of Google Plus could have been the king of
Facebook.
I think it's funnier. I read a lot more of him because he's on
Google Plus.
Yeah, I guess I don't I have a Google Plus account. I only use
it because I have to certain things you can sign into. Yeah.
And then my, you know, I don't really look at it. I fact I find
it to be annoying. You can't it's not that easy to figure out
what to post on where where's it gonna show up? And how many
people are gonna see it? And you know, just it's, this is weird.
It's a weird
product, you should be happy. You don't have to use the face
bag. It's just as weird with what you're sending to whom,
what a vase bag
has gotten worse understand because they keep you know,
they're they're editing, some sort of algorithms cutting stuff
out. You don't get to see everything you're supposed to
see. Yep. Yep. Okay, my last clip. And after that tech news,
what he just did is, is an interesting story was the random
The Wall Street Journal, it only showed up on one news outlet
that I could tell I never saw anything that works. And it's an
outrageous story that should be getting all kinds of ink. And
this is the outrageous banking scandal.
Okay, you know, I can't read Wall Street Journal, because
they took away I know, they block you. So you know, well,
they had the Google hack, where you just copy, copy and paste
the headline into Google and then you click on the Google
link, and then you'd be in, you'd find way to turn that off
at damage.
And the Wall Street Journal has exposed nearly half of the $110
billion Wall Street banks have paid in settlements in recent
years, has been pocketed by the federal government and it's not
been paid out to homeowners. In recent years, the United States
largest banks, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan,
Chase, and Citi Group have paid billions of dollars to settle
charges of financial crimes in the mortgage market in the years
leading up to the 2008 housing crisis. Top regulators have
lauded the record fines extracted in the settlements by
saying the money would help homeowners struggling with their
mortgages. Yet the Wall Street Journal's new investigation
shows while about $45 billion did go to homeowner relief. Even
more of the settlement money, about $50 billion in total has
been simply pocketed by the federal government itself with
almost no disclosure of how the money is being spent. Hmm.
That's odd, because I remember looking into exactly how that
money was being distributed, which when mainly to the
governor's had most of the power as I recall it.
Well, this is like a story. You think somebody else would be
working as a democracy now? How about Matt, all you're doing is
just rereading clips from the Wall Street Journal article.
