I'm gonna predict prediction for the Red Book you watch. Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, March 17 2016. time once again for your Gitmo
nation media assassination episode
808.
This is no agenda, injecting your
inoculation.
Oh information and broadcasting live from the capital to grow
and stars to here and FEMA Region six. We're at still South
by Southwest in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where apparently it's going to
be a scorcher today. Wow. John C. Dvorak.
Really no, scorcher. Yeah, what's a scorcher in northern
silicon? I
have a kind of a temperature gauge which is going to be hot,
but I think it's gonna be like at Crazy scorching for the
midwinter.
We had 91 yesterday. Yeah, it was pretty hot. And that's not
it wasn't hot. It's just beautiful. Just 90
While you're finally go climatized it's not so much and
he won. It's beautiful out.
It's a dry heat. John's dry heat.
It's a dry heat.
It's a dry heat. It's very easy to handle. Oh man. How are you?
I'm good. I went to I finally went to go see the Warriors play
a basketball game this year. Okay. So as they just said
another record. Yeah, 50 is home win in a row. They don't lose it
home. So you go you're never gonna get disappointed. But I
have to say everyone talks about your namesake Stephen Curry.
Yeah. Is it Stephen or Stephen? Stephen? Okay. Yeah. Number 30.
No, he's number 40. Staff. Yes. Or Steph for just
curry.
Or curry. When they can be confusing him with you. I have
to say, and I've said this to my wife, and there has to be anyone
who wants to listen. As good as that guy is on television. If
you see him in person, it's like ridiculous. It's unbelievable.
Why is that? That's all I've got to say. Why is he tiny? No, he's
not tiny six, three, which is kind of tiny. But he is so fast.
And it on a shot, he takes us through it. He shoots these
three pointers from everywhere and they all 90% of them go in
especially if he's under distress 90% He's shooting at
about 50% three pointers. And Anytime somebody's like he's
it's just it's it brings the house down. It'll be in the
corner and some guys just about to kill him you know, punch him
in the gut is just trying to shoot. And it goes in in the in
the audience which is very interesting is gotta be about a
third Hispanic. And they're all they all see the game as kind of
like soccer. So every time there's a score, it's like one
guy was sitting next to his Hispanic guy with his kid his
little girl and he would yell goal
Okay, well, it's culture.
But the audience is outrageous. I can see you always like to
play there isn't any thing is just a little bit off and a
score or if the other team screws up. They go nuts. They
literally go nuts. It's a fantastic experience. I'm glad
you got out of the house. Not too expensive. You're
happy you got out of the house. Very good morning, my wife
so you should go more.
I while you were at the at the ballgame. I was reading the
executive order no one heard about unless you did.
I did your beat. Yes, it is. I just wait to surprise.
My beat. Yes, the President came out with a rather harsh
Executive Order blocking property of the Government of
North Korea and the Workers Party of Korea and prohibiting
certain transactions with respect to North Korea. I don't
have to read the whole thing. It's it reads. Why don't I have
to read it?
No. Wow. Well, this is rationality we would be
interested Oh, well,
you have to you always have to have a rationale. I'll I will
read that. By authority vested in me. The National the North
Korea sanctions policy and here we go. I Barack Obama and
President United States of America find that the Government
of North Korea is continuing pursuit of its nuclear and
missile programmes as evidenced most recently by its February
7 2016 launch using ballistic missile technology. And this
January 6 2016, nuclear test and violation of its obligations
pursuant to the numerous scourers UNSC ours And in
contravention of its commitments under the September 9, but to
address these actions and to take additional steps. They're
dangerous. That's the idea. The North Korea obviously presents a
clear and present danger to the United States so we've put in
place sanctions very very similar to what Iran had. So all
money is blocked. All anything that's in any possession here is
blocked everything's the bank accounts are frozen. It's the
full monty they might have even ask that
not an act of war.
Well, fine. Okay, you're you're with my thinking here. And I
didn't realise why they did this until I did what we always do
here at the best podcast in the universe. When we have the
question about something we don't know about, what do we do?
We add the word oil at the end of my pipeline.
I shot off an email to Uncle Don.
Oh, there's Oh, yes. There's also that method. Yeah. Uncle
Don, formerly ambassador. Well, let me get I was gonna guess the
reason for this was because the kid was sold, stolen no smoking
sign and got 15 years of hard Grover.
Well, that's okay. Let me so I'll let me read the
correspondence. It was short, but I love Uncle Dom, because
he, he took like a day and a half to get back to me. So he's
always thinking about what he's writing. It's what the agency
guys do. They don't just write willy nilly. So I said, Hey,
Don, timing of this executive orders interesting, of course,
will go largely, unreported also looks pretty severe in scope.
always interested in your thoughts on the matter. Here we
go. Adam, it sounds severe and limiting, but I'm not sure it
is. People are trying to figure out what they can and cannot do
with North Koreans. In terms of talking. I've been invited to a
march 22 lunch by the National Committee on North Korea and
intend to go unless it's called off. I will report back a
minute. How about that?
Where is the national?
I think the DC National Committee on North Korea think
it is the new factor is needed. Kim Jong Un needs better advice
than he is receiving from people within North Korea. I've urged
them to release the American College student they have
sentenced to 15 years of hard labour, they have said they have
sent me and others a proposal for development of a peace
regime for the region. So they're doing two things at once
threatening and offering to talk. And here comes tensions
are always high, when we are engaged in massive training
exercises, forgot all about that. We have 30,000 troops
doing a training exercise and their border. Tensions are
always high when we are engaged in massive training exercises.
And this is a tense difficult time where mistakes can
escalate.
You know, you wonder why these guys are always gearing
themselves up thinking that we're going to attack them every
minute. We do this sort of thing. We do the executive order
that we do a bunch of training nearby it looks if I was an
outsider that was somewhat isolated. And I just saw all of
this going on, I wouldn't be various it's like people
misinterpreting everything. You don't get enough information in
the first place because you can't take a chance on the
public finding anything out. And so you get freaky.
Yes. This closing line sustained dialogue has to begin some time,
but it may not come under Obama who was stretched to the limit
by his outreach to Iran and Cuba to bad cheers, Don. So not as
bad as it reads, I guess.
Or I'm sure it's as bad as it reads to the North Koreans.
Well, you know, Don is on his I mean, I wouldn't say he's on
their side but he wants nothing but peace. Yeah, he's definitely
uh, he is on their side. He understands he understands their
culture.
I was reading something about some other capture some time ago
and it was an analyst that was going on about it and said, the
North Koreans do this and they like to college kid that they
just arrested for stealing, no smoking sign or whatever it was.
And the guy's analysis was the North Koreans do this on a
consistent basis so they can have people come to visit them.
Well, this so that is that is the big problem here in this
executive order. And damn, I should have asked Don no more
camera you cannot invest you can't you can't do anything. So
if you if your thing you cannot even the way I read it, and I
read the whole thing. You cannot even have a tour operator going
in and operating in North Korea that from the United States that
would be forbidden. So that stops their main driver. As
you've pointed out many years ago of tourism,
they've been trying to do the tour thing forever. Yeah. Well,
they're doing it poorly. I think the North Korean Tourism Bureau
and I'm sure there is one is got their heads up their ass. I
think I will try to contact them.
Well, would you like me to get you a real contact? Yeah, I'm
sure I can get I can get the person was really enjoy. Yeah,
well, I
says I couldn't get into the country. And I'm sure we can get
a visit. I just want to see the big show. I mean, that's what I
really want. No
kidding. No kidding. I'm just staying overseas for a moment.
The interesting move tactical move by Vladimir Putin regarding
Syria.
And I have a clip that describes
I have a setup clip, which is probably vapid compared to
yours, but it's it's a nice piece of propaganda from your
own news. So I figured I'd play that well. I
have mine set as a short clip from NewsHour and I think it
pretty much wraps it. Ah,
so what are we doing?
I think we should play your clip then mine in a one two punch.
Okay, one two and what is the name of your clip so I can
really punch it. Russia leaves Syria makes total sense. Okay,
here we go.
welcomed home as heroes and decorated by their military
chiefs. fighter jets are landing at an Air Force Base near voran
edge in the southwest of Russia. After the Kremlin made the
surprise decision to partially withdraw US forces from Syria I
gotta say they really need to have Putin needs up his game on
the parade and the militaristic look how great we are. This was
pathetic. It was really pathetic looking on the tarmac like
they're trying to do a whole clip your own news.
Moscow says the withdrawal as possible allows Russia has
achieved its goals with the start of peace talks in Geneva.
However, Russia will continue to maintain a military presence in
Syria with bases and Lattakia and tattoos. The Russian army
also says its s 400 surface to air missile defence system and
Syria will remain in place. This as an order to effectively
provide security including from the air says the senior
official, most modern defence systems are needed. He says the
Russian Air Force also says this jets will continue to strike
ISIL targets in Syria and what it calls other terrorist groups.
Very nice. There we go. So to me, it sounds like nothing
really changed.
Well, that's a lot different than the clip that news are
played. All right, and a surprise announcement Russian
President Democracy Now my mistake.
No, no, no problem started over again.
In a surprise announcement, Russian President Vladimir Putin
has said Russia will withdraw the bulk of its forces from
Syria. Putin made the announcement Monday saying the
Russian campaign in Syria had largely fulfilled its objective.
Should
they believe that the goals set out to the Ministry of Defence
and the Armed Forces has in large part been fulfilled. And
that's why I ordered the Ministry of Defence as of
tomorrow to start the pull out of the main part of our military
grouping from the Syrian Arab Republic.
All right now I have two analysts that I think we should
listen to before we do our own deconstruction. The first one
kind of typical, the second one, I think is spot on.
Iran based analyst maintains removing Assad would result in
chaos and pose a danger to the entire region. Yes, if the
Geneva talks fail, he says I think Russia will go back to
Syria. If a ceasefire is not maintained and as violated by
different political groups and Syria, then military
intervention would be serious only option. And Russia will
definitely play a key role in that option. Another Gulf based
analyst says Moscow's ability to make Assad negotiate as part of
the Kremlin wanting to appear as a Middle East peace negotiator.
I think this move is significant for the future of Assad and his
associates, because it makes them part of the negotiating
process. It's as if Big Brother has taken little brother by the
IRS, and has told him what to do.
That's what I agree with that. To me, it's like Putin played a
hard hand and said, Okay, we're in charge. Now we're gonna back
off again, everything's still there. What do you want to do?
Let's talk.
That's a possibility. I'm thinking differently. Okay. This
game is so abruptly that I'm, I mean, a very abruptly Yeah, we
know one thing that rushes went in there pretty much to both
they have a, you know, their big base there. So they went in and
blew up a bunch of stuff. But they're I think this idea was
just to protect their own military base, the port.
Oh, that's what the initially Sure. But now I hear rumblings
that even the Russians are talking about, well, maybe we
can find another guy. And
that's all part of the I think that we made that happen. Well,
it's been hard. I think we put a carrot in front of Russia said
look at you know, if you play ball with this, we got to get
this, this situation resolved and just get the hell out of
here. Or at least make it look like it did, because that's
where the American reports need to look. And we'll maybe back
off a little bit on these sanctions, which are falling
apart the sanctions against Russia, they're that are the
European people are just bitching about the Germans in
particular, and we have to back off on those things eventually.
And I think this I betcha This is a backroom deal as a quid pro
quo that has something to do with us. Well, there's something
else I find us to see any reason why the other thesis that you
know, they went in there to slap Assad around. They could do that
anytime they want. There's a rub my taste okay,
there's a meeting set for April, which will be OPEC and Russia,
Iran will not be included. And it's going to take place in
Doha. And from what I understand the idea is, and Russia may
already be doing this to, to freeze oil output. Now we know
the Saudis have been burned in the past by doing things with
their oil, particularly just going all the way down to zero,
and then they got screwed. But it would make a lot of sense for
Putin to say, hey, wait a minute, you know, let's let's
back off for a second. We need our oil prices up. And now maybe
that he's working with Saudi Arabia, certainly this Qatar
meeting on April 17. I'm thinking that it's, they're
trying to fix production, so the price goes up?
Well, we have the one problem, which is that it's a 36. For
anyone who wants to know what the price. That's the price as
we're doing this show.
What's the price? 30 $36? Yeah, so reasonable price went up a
bit. And we've seen gas prices here in Texas go up 1020 cents.
I mean, it's still 171 75. But
175, and you're complaining? The problem is, is this already been
discussed with Iran, a number of people have taken a run at Iran,
because Iran has a huge amount of oil that they can pump. And
the Iranians have said that they're not going to be involved
with any of this stuff, the way they and I think the way they
say we talked about this on the DHA unplugged show, the way they
see things is that this is, uh, this little moment in history
where everybody's getting along with each other. And we're going
to have to try to normalise a few things with them in the
United States and Iran. You know, when they still hate us
from the 50s when we overturn their democratically elected
government and turned into brought in the Shah? And they
said, No, they've just been discussed with them. And they
said, No, you can do yes, you're going to stop production, jack
up the price, we don't care, we're going to pump as much as
we can. And they're going to keep the inventories high, that
this is not going to this is all going to fail unless they get
the Iranians on board. And that way they see it just as an
opportunity to get rid of some of their oil before they they
just figure everyone's going to shut them down, you know,
sanction them again, they figured, you know, it's going to
be a short term phenomenon. They only have a little, little time
to pump as much oil as they can. Right. And 36 bucks is fine with
them. They were getting nothing. He still
doesn't explain Russia's pull out words. So
that's what I'm saying that doesn't explain Russia's pull
out. I'm thinking Russia's pull out is a backroom deal done with
the United States?
And what would that well, okay,
so get Russia to say, look, we're going to ease the
sanctions on you guys who will let things go. But just you
know, if you just give us a break here on this on the Syrian
thing, okay.
And that's why I'm reading rumblings of the Russian saying,
Yeah, we're okay. If we find another guy for Assad. That is,
I think that's always been the bottom line is who will replace
him? What kind of guy will it be? Maybe that new Supreme Court
Justice that Obama nominated will be good, just actually do
something, get to work?
That's what I'm thinking because I just don't see any all these
other analysts that would they said just doesn't it? Again,
it's just abruptness that when I see some that's that. Yeah.
Okay. Bye.
I agree. I agree. That'll be my follow up email to Don today.
Because I haven't replied to him yet about the North Korea. So
I'll reply. And I'll slip in little question.
If you want to transition to discussing this, this Supreme
Court character or not really, but okay, I'm good. Do you want
to say something? I have something to say I have no
clips. But I do have something to say. I do have a clip. All
right. Once you got Supreme Court and the Biden rule,
you said before that he belongs on the court, why not at least
consider him now? I didn't say that he belongs on the Supreme
Court. I said he belonged on the DC Circuit Court,
at least have hearings and consider what has changed since
I
think the Supreme Court has been politicised enough. But late
today
signs the Republican wall may be cracking. Mitch McConnell who
won't meet with garland taking his phone call wishing him well.
And now other Republicans say they will talk to him by phone,
including the powerful committee chairman. What are you looking
to hear from him?
I don't know. He has to talk to me.
And Mary Bruce, with us live tonight from Washington getting
answers from Republicans. The Republicans have an argument to
marry. pointing to something Vice President Joe Biden once
said about Supreme Court vacancies during Italy
attribute.
Yes, David, they call it the
Biden rule referring to the Vice President's comments back in
1992, saying that Supreme Court vacancies shouldn't be treated
differently during an election year. But today, Biden tweeting,
he only followed one rule when he was in the Senate that every
Supreme Court nominee get a hearing and a vote, period.
David.
Okay, so let's let me get this straight. And we have a lot of
Republicans who listen to the show. Let me get this straight.
So the Republicans are now adopting the rules of Joe Biden
as their standard.
Also, the rule of Harry Reid, who determined that several
years ago, when they had the how the the rules of the house work,
that only one person can bring something to the floor, that was
the Democrat rule, and now it's working against them.
Well, all this is as a publicity or a as an image. I think this
makes the Republicans look like idiots, especially if they have
a guy that's probably okay to be a Supreme Court justice, and
might be a better choice than whatever Hillary's gonna pick.
Well, I have a question for you. How do you find this guy to be
okay, I have a very specific reason why he's not okay. And
should be nowhere near the Supreme Court of the wells.
And if you have, I can change my mind.
But he was the lead was the city City, Oklahoma City and the end?
Well, wherever there wasn't, he was and there was another one he
was involved. But that I mean, he is a Clinton Insider. He
worked for the Clinton White House inside and he was really
the buffer of keeping all this bull crap away. You know, trying
to have a little
boy his own mo prosecutor, which is always sketchy. Okay, he's no
good. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't have a hearing and
just say you're no good kicking.
Oh, I agree. I agree. I agree. I don't know why they're not doing
that. That's dumb. They're dumb.
I think that this is the dumb thing. It is dumb, but it's also
possible. And I know this is this is a stretch and
maybe there's some other rule that they're worried about. I'm
going
to say it's possible that there's just lazy these hearings
are a pain in the ass let's go over disparate get data this
year, and maybe not get reelected. The those hearings
are a pain in the ass they go on forever. And maybe the real
reason is can we not do these hearings, at least until you
know for a while and isn't terrible? Well, lazy.
Probably they would like to deflect all negativity of the
Republican Party towards Donald Trump. Just everything's
negative make it his?
Yeah, they're definitely focused on trauma. That's what it that's
what it seems to be. And here's the thing about them being do
Republicans. I don't know what what is wrong with these people.
But they, they they're now they're all talking there's
clips and there's a lot of discussions last week about,
well, if Trump gets the nomination, we're gonna go we're
not going to vote for him. And a bunch of people have come out
and said that I'm not going to vote for him. We would you vote
for Hillary I might have to so we have a situation where
Republicans, instead of voting for Donald Trump, we're gonna
vote for Hillary, after they went through this huge rigmarole
with the with rands Priebus and the rest to get Trump to agree
to vote to support support whoever Yeah, does support the
Republican and they made a big stink about it. But now they're
not going to do it.
Now. You put something in a newsletter, and I'm just looking
at your list real quick. And of course, I have no idea what your
clips are. You don't know what mine are as per our agreement.
Working on now yours. Yeah, sir. Agreement,
not an agreement. It's just something that happens to be the
easiest way to do this show.
The agreement is listen, I don't care. Let's find out when your
aim is that
you don't you don't spy on my clips? Oh, yeah.
Because I'm such a horrible man. Yes. You pointed towards an
article and there was some video slash audio to go with the
article from one of the GOP insiders this guy is. What's his
name? Again? Hurley or something? He's a he's a I
looked him up. He's a bankers.
I think it was it was a mo or curly. I don't remember.
Exactly. Okay. I
understand that these are the rules and that there's all kinds
of crazy arcane rules that could be voted on between now and
then. But currently, let me ask you, if Donald Trump heads into
the nomination, maybe he shorted the 1237 required. If you give
it to someone who has a much lesser percentage of the voters
who have actually turned out from these primaries, don't you
worry that you are going to just send chaos and anger into the
Trump supporters into the people who feel like their votes don't
matter?
No, I don't think that's the case. Let's
just wait for it. It gets even better
understood. We have a problem with the media. Unfortunately.
We have a problem with the media.
The media, unfortunately, the cable networks.
Don't think this is a problem with the media. I've heard from
a lot of voters who say If they feel like their votes got
stolen, that they would be very unhappy and very angry, I think
you're looking at a different situation. I realised these have
been the rules. But the last time these rules were put in
place was 1976. It's been a long time since then.
Yeah, they're still there. Yeah, that's a problem.
Listen, listen to what he says he just comes out and says it,
John.
Yeah, that's the problem. The the, the media has created a
perception that the voters will decide the nomination. And
that's the concept
that we have in a democratic society. What you're telling me
is it's not a democratic society. And your votes don't
necessarily matter, because it's a democratic representation,
correct?
No, that's not what I'm trying to tell you. What I'm trying to
say is, we're just one of the political parties. There's many
political parties, but political parties choose their nominee,
not the general public, contrary to popular belief, and why
holding the primaries? That's a very good question.
That's a very good question. Why do we even go through that
rigmarole?
That's great.
And it's really people that don't understand that this is
one big show. It doesn't. It's the same for the Democrats.
Yeah, no, this is not as
we go to a warrior's game. This is a club
that little clubs called the Republican Party have another
club over there called the Democrats. And they have, you
know, they just do this little show. And it's because they run
control role, whatever the media ad spending and buys, they
determine what goes on. It's just, it's all marketing. It's
not even real.
Well, they definitely screwed up with this one. Yeah.
They did. And they,
they don't want Trump now this, of course, when we start when
this whole thing began, I will have to pat myself on the back.
said this would happen. No matter what Trump does, they're
going to screw up try to screw him and I think they're going to
stay is not changing my approach. I think he's still
gonna get screwed out of the nomination, and they're going to
go down in flames.
A lot of this reminds me of 2000, the Netherlands, where
there was a populist guy running for the leadership role of the
country. He was outspoken loudmouth now he had some very
big differences with Trump. He was bald. He drank, he smoked
cigars. He was gay. And two weeks before the election, he
was assassinated by a crazy animal rights activist. I'm very
concerned about that. Yeah, it's very, very concerned about that.
Well,
and they're also doing, you know, before you want to do
something that's radical like that, which is not beyond the
possibility. It's not
hard to get some one of these kids who's on jacked on SSRIs
that we can get kids to go, you know, be ISIS apparently. All
will take a little bit of social media. Let me think Klum? Yeah,
there's a lot of social media about Trump, face lagers,
or face bars. And the way you do it, if you're going to set this
up first, you have that guy rushing the stage.
Yes, I actually have a clip of his you know what this is
called? Now it's something else before we get into that. This
reminded me of two minutes hate. Do you remember two minutes
hate? No, this is from the book and identity for George Orwell.
And every day there were two days in which the Society of
Oceania had to turn on the telescreens. And watch the film
depicting the party's enemies. And it was just you know, went
completely nuts and crazy. I think that's what's happening.
Except Trump is the two minutes of hate that is being shown and
everyone's supposed to hate against.
Maybe it's something like that going on. But when they when
they charge this podium, and then they had to cancel the
thing. That Chicago just
listen to the mind control on this job. This is the kid who
turns out he's an acting major. hate it when that happens.
Theatre major. I've heard that before annoying now that he's an
actor. Oh, and the CNN went down to talk with him. And Martin
O'Malley Oh, no. What's his name? Dan or something. One of
these guys who's never landed the studio at sea and enables us
to go to these godforsaken places. So he's out there
talking to this kid,
I was thinking that Donald Trump is a bully. And he has nothing
more than that. He is somebody who is just saying a lot of bold
things. He's making bold claims, but I can see right through
that. And I can see that he's truly just a coward. And he's
opportunistic. And he's willing to destroy this country for
power for himself. Right. Well, that's your motivation.
But what were you thinking at that moment? I was Did you do
what you did?
I was thinking that I could get up on stage and take his pony
him away from him and take his microwave from him and send a
message to all people out in the country who wouldn't consider
themselves racist, who wouldn't consider themselves approving of
what type of violence Donald Trump is allowing at his rallies
and send them a message that we can be strong. We can find our
strength, and we can stand up against Donald Trump and against
this new wave. He's ushering in of truly just violent white
supremacist ideas. Were you if you
had made it to that stage? Were you going to attack him? No,
not at all. There would have been no point. And I wasn't
expecting there to be as much Secret Service as there was
there that day. But from what I had sort of seen, there hadn't
been that much or hadn't been that much in a contained area.
So I thought my chances of getting up on stage and getting
to the podium would have been better. But again, it was more
important for me to show that there are people out there who
aren't afraid of Donald Trump. He says scary things. He lets
his people do scary things. He's threatened Mexico, Islam, you
name it. And yet, I'm afraid. And if I can be unafraid enough
to go take his podium away from him, that we all can be afraid
enough to not let this man walk into the White House.
The programming is severe, John, and how it was this clip guy?
Yeah, it was this,
by the way is borderline Clip of the Day take a borderline from.
And, you know, we've had total maybe 1010 emails. I thought a
lot about this. We had this conversation on Sunday. Like,
oh, you're pro Trump, your shields, you have an agenda, why
people keep saying that? Well, I
figured it out. It's the virus. And the virus is you and I spend
all day all day watching stuff, original source material, a lot
of stuff from C span. So we see everything within context. But
for the past, there wasn't a three day three day three and a
half days. I am watching sound bites. And Trump speaks very
simplistically, that is his that is his downside to the way he
speaks people like simplistic language, I believe. And he says
things very clearly in beautiful staccato type bits, you can chop
it out. And then you can just say whatever you want to
clippable it's very clickable, and it and it has worked. It has
really worked. And so if if you're coming to our show, and
you're saying, You're not being fair, you're going easy on
Donald Trump, you're missing the point of our show and the virus
has already set in with you and you need to help yourself. We
you know, we're not we're not here to provide fair coverage.
view if you want to see people saying Donald Trump's that
Donald Trump says crazy stuff, just turn on the television. The
if you want to hear deconstruction of the media
doing this, which, as far as I can tell, is pretty
unprecedented. This election cycle by itself is
unprecedented. Barack Obama, the interactive internet president,
he didn't do shit. Donald Trump has been using social media
Twitter that really created his campaign. And I think we're
seeing this turn now where he's confusing everybody in changing
his demeanour changing his tone a bit. And he's even ready to
admit that he was loudmouth and brash because he had a fight on
his hands. But again, what we're doing is deconstructing the
media. And when you have people calling people Mussolini, and
Hitler and white supremacists, it warrants deconstruction, does
that take up time from saying, oh, Donald Trump is an idiot?
Well, maybe in your idea, your your reality? But that's what it
is. We're a nation divided by different realities, depending
on what you've been programmed through the television. You just
see these clips
by that guy that you just played the clip of? Yes, it was
obviously this is by the way, this is your two people out
there that were critical like that your complaint. Anything
about this is this is where you end up. You end up being that
guy. Yes. The deluded maniac that rushes the stage. Oh, I
didn't think there were any secret service around. I just
had to show people and you have to be a dog about being an
egomaniac. You're going to go up on the stage, grab the mic and
tell people and tell them what's what are you kidding me? Right?
You're, you're you're insane says that most of the people
that I have gotten notes from it's not that many I've only
gotten a couple but they're they I read the note. They are
already in they are borderline that guy. They're gonna they're
insane. Yes. And jacked up this objectively.
But also I understand if this is the programming that you're
receiving, and you love your life, your family, your
community, your country. I have nothing against people who are
saying Holy crap, we got to stop this guy. But I'm pretty sure
that they're misguided. But here actually, Trump was on Bill
O'Reilly last night very long interview, I pulled two clips
from it when I want to play now.
And before you play that, I just wanted to say, just to add on to
what you just said, It's so bad that to the point that
Republicans who were elected to office are on the same insane
bandwagon to the point where they will, will vote for what is
apparently a felon. Insofar as Hillary Clinton is concerned,
they will vote for her who shouldn't be in jail? I mean,
I'm not I'm kind of joking, but not all completely, rather than
Trump. And the reason for that is why because he's because he
says bad things about women. He doesn't, because he's because
he's a white supremacist. I don't know if he is I doubt it.
And the rest of this stuff that is all made up by the media.
Well, let
me Okay, now I'm gonna back into it in reverse, because you
brought up that now there were two and the first time I've seen
it, there were two anti Trump ads that I caught in the past
two days of airing on the television here, I think it was
a CNN national spot, which was, was interesting and expensive.
And this is the one of the first that I've seen from the pack
that is against Donald Trump. The first one just to show this
those sound bites. I don't know if you've seen this commercial
yet, John, but it's just a one by the women is women. Yeah, you
see the whole thing? Probably Probably. I saw an excerpt. So
just imagine every woman you hear speaking, a black
background, full screen, black and white, stylized, and here is
what they're saying in bow dog, fat pig
real quotes from Donald Trump, about women. A person who is
very flat chested is very hard to be a 10. I'd look her right
in that fat, ugly face of hers.
Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that?
She had the height, she had the beauty. She was crazy. But these
are minor details
are like kids. I mean, I won't do anything to take care of
them. I'll supply funds and she'll take care of the kids.
You know, it really doesn't matter what they write. As long
as you've got a young and beautiful piece of
that must be a pretty picture. You dropping to your knees.
There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of
her wherever.
Now what's interesting about this particular phrase, and this
of course is referring to Megyn Kelly which now is universally
accepted as he said she was on her period and therefore crabby.
When this young girl says this, she all she editorialise is we'd
like a like a like a smirk face that is just coming out of her
eyes, blood coming out of her. Wherever. Women, you have to
treat them like this
is how Donald Trump talks about our mothers, our sisters, our
daughters.
If you believe America deserves better vote against Donald
Trump. Our principals PAC is responsible for the content of
this advertising,
our principals PAC, so everything taken out of context.
That's a very, very effective, very effective, there's another
one. There's one more there's one more okay, these guys are
spending the money. Donald Trump
campaigned violence
like to punch him in the face Knock the crap out of but they'd
be carried out at a stretcher, folks, I promise you. I will pay
for the legal fees. Now. Trump's campaign
manager faces criminal charges for allegedly assaulting a
female reporter
today, Michelle fields. The reporter for the conservative
website Breitbart said earlier this week Trump's campaign
manager grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down
fields showed us the bruise where she says Trump's campaign
manager grabbed her.
They're not telling the truth. There's videos there's pictures,
there's an eyewitness of a
Washington Post reporter
another supporter arrested for assaulting a Trump supporter is
under arrest tonight after punching a protester at a rally
latest in what some believe is a growing hostile atmosphere of
Trump.
The next time we see him, we might have to kill it.
Donald Trump's too reckless and dangerous to be president. Our
principals PAC is responsible for the content of this
advertising. Very effective. Very, very good.
I don't know I think that was counter effective. Well, just as
an entre mall, Donald Trump had a pretty funny story about
these. I'd like to share because I've made me laugh.
And it's been an interesting experience. Last week, Adam
Scott one at Trump National Doral won the big tournament,
the World Championship of golf and Adam, who's a great guy, of
course, a lot of you folks saw that, but I'm watching it. We
have television screens all over. We're down at this
gorgeous green at Doral, and everything's working
beautifully. And then a commercial comes on the worst
commercial and I'm with these wonderful people from Cadillac
and all these top executives. And I'm saying look over there
Look, don't watch it go. Don't you don't want to watch it. I'm
saying don't do it. Aren't isn't the grass Beautiful? Look on
watch. And they came in waves one after another after another.
And it was brutal. And then Adam comes in his his handsome kid
from Australia, one of the greatest golfers in the world
made an unbelievable shot on the 18th hole to win the tournament.
He's a great champion. And we're giving the award. And just
before we break for a commercial, we'll be right back
with our great champion from Australia. Adams got it. Here's
the commercial I should know. And it was two of them. Two of
them. Oh, what a day that was what a disaster was
one of the most effective ways of denouncing attack ad. Now, on
the same interview, Bill O'Reilly brought up something
that he disagreed with, with Trump, and this flows into how
context is very important.
I disagree with you vehemently about the George Bush, the
younger, lying on purpose to get us into a war with Iraq. As
somebody who covered that situation. I talked with Colin
Powell, I talked with the CIA director, they all said the same
thing, the New York Times reporting it on the front page
that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and indeed
told his own generals that he did, and the generals
disseminated that information. So to me all the evidence says
that President Bush younger did not lie, maybe made a mistake.
did not lie. Okay. You want to backtrack on that statement?
No, I don't want to backtrack. I didn't say lie. I said he may
have lied. I don't know that he really believed there were
weapons of mass destruction. I know that. I know that when his
father went in, and his father actually did something pretty
good because he pulled back he didn't get into the trap. But I
know that Saddam Hussein was taunting the father. They, you
know, the Americans, they were not, you know, they were
cowards. He was saying all sorts of things, because of the fact
intelligently, they pulled back. And I know that you know, and
you know, also that the Son felt very hurt. But I
think time so Trump brings up something that just kind of
universally agreed to that, you know, the it was a lie. But this
is brought up by the next guest, I forget the guy's name. You may
know who he is, when he comes on. He's on O'Reilly a lot. And
he is now using this What Trump Just said, to show how Trump
lies and then just does it as a bold flavour boldface lie. I
think there's a little more nuance Yeah, I
thought you asked a very important question. And we saw
Bernie
Donald Trump's what's his name? Bernie, his last name. He is a
roll ABC correspondents Oh,
hi, Bernie Goldberg, Bernie
Goldberg and Bernie Goldberg.
modus operandi in the answer. You said, I disagree with you.
You shouldn't have said you said the story. He said I disagree
with you. Trump did. George Bush didn't lie to get us into a war.
He may have made a mistake, which he did. But he didn't lie.
Okay. That's a good question. It needed to be asked. And Donald
Trump said, I didn't say he lied. I said, maybe he lied. I
mean, who knows? He could have lied. No, I heard it. He said,
They lied. They knew there were no weapons of mass destruction.
And they still went into war.
Now, let's just take what he said and listen to the video
that he's talking about. He's correct. But I think there's
nuance.
Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big fat mistake. All right. Now
you can take it any way you want. And it took jut, it took
Jeb Bush, if you remember at the beginning of his announcement,
when he announced the President took him five days he went back
it was a mistake. It wasn't a mistake. took him five days
before his people told him what to say. And he ultimately said
it was a mistake. The war in Iraq, we spent $2 trillion 1000s
of lives. We don't even have it. Iran is taking over Iraq with
the second largest oil reserves in the world. Obviously, it was
a mistake. So George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes,
but that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq,
we have destabilised the Middle East. So
you still think he should be impeached? It's my turn. And you
do so
here's my pledge to you call it whatever you want. I want to
tell you, they lied. Okay. said there were weapons of mass
destruction. There were done. And they knew there were none.
There were no weapons of mass. Okay.
All right. So it's nuanced.
Well, not only that, but he said they lie they lied. bomanite
George, but
in the context of his clip when he said they he actually said
George Bush made a mistake.
Right. So he said they lied, so they did this, but otherwise you
wouldn't have that yellowcake ins. You wouldn't have the
Valerie Plame outing, she got outed because of this situation.
As a CIA operator
If and this is so similar to things that we've witnessed in
our own lives, it's a nuance, but it makes a difference. And
then when you put things into an ad, and it's programming, it's
called programming. Content programming, that's called
programming, and it works. And just to show you the other side,
Trump released his own attack ad Of course, he didn't buy any
media time for it, he put it on Instagram. And this was played
widely it's a lot of people suspect a excellent excellent
product. Other people suspected no agenda producer created this.
I've just blasted through the audio because you know, you have
to it doesn't work in in just audio you have to see the video.
But yeah, it's very funny, but so when you hear the Donald
Trump add every single piece taken out of its original
context, the first three women were all talking about one or
two comments about Rosie O'Donnell MSNBC, of course, when
you have an attack on Hillary, you have to deconstruct it. You
see, here's Matthews.
Anyway, Trump today attack Hillary Clinton, whatever a
quarter of what it looks like these days, he attacked every
claim with a new Instagram which causes a uses a clip out of
context. Former Secretary barking like a dog this may be
new low grade Trump but let's watch
a clip of Secretary Clinton was pulled from a story she told in
Nevada last month about a radio ad in Arkansas. Here's what
Clinton actually said in the actual context.
There. It was true or not. Well, we've trained this dog and a dog
Okay, Robert, that was pretty low, treating her like a dog.
Let's face it, what they're up to there. In the in the world of
sexism, that would be pretty high up I would say, just
because they took that out and cruelly made her look like that.
Well, the quote Carly Fiorina from 1000 years ago, in other
words, a few weeks ago, she said every woman in America knows
what he meant.
There you go. So it's from a dog that is pathetic went from dog
to misogynist to bitch I guess I guess that's every woman
understand. So just to wind up my when
I saw the thing, I actually had to watch it a couple of times,
because it was so well done. And it was it was a cop trying to
accomplish one thing. He was funny. Yeah, it was a very funny
everybody. Yeah, it was out of context, huh? Oh, really? I was
died in walked around barking all the time. Break that that's
actually insulting to deconstruct that ad. is
insulting because there's nothing to deconstruct. It's
just a silly little ditty. Put on Instagram. Wow. Yeah. Well,
let me say a couple of things about some of these clips before
you continue. First of all, the anti Trump stuff. The second one
I believe was actually questioned the intelligence of
the audience. The first one was just mean and the other thing is
how when have we ever seen in American political life anti ads
to this extreme don't vote
for
now. This is interesting, absurd to but it fits perfectly. I
think let me see is this it? This may be it about the about
the amount of money being spent on attack ads,
and this man became very angry. And you know what, again, I
don't condone violence, but this kid shouldn't have had the
finger up in the air either. Okay, if that's what he did, so
I'm gonna take a look at the tape. And I'll I'll let you
know.
So is that the threshold is just the wrong gesture. And it's
okay, o'clock them?
Well, I think that's a terrible gesture. If you want to know the
truth. I mean, we can say oh, it doesn't matter. But I think it's
a terrible gesture. And you know, it's interesting. These
people are disruptors. They're not protesters that
this I'm sorry, this is this may not be the right clip, but I'll
just play it anyway. ruptures. They're
professional disruptors in some cases, but that's all they do.
They stand up and they disrupt. And if somebody did that at a
Bernie, Bernie route, many of these people come from Bernie.
And you know, I have tremendous young people also we have a
whole level of young people. I can't even believe it, how young
my audiences, but if they ever went to Bernie's rallies and did
the same thing, I wanted to tell you, you would be so angry with
me. Nobody talks about it, but you would be so against me. It's
a whole different standard when it comes to a Republican
conservative versus a liberal. If people went to their rallies
and disrupted their rallies, like my rallies have disrupted,
the press would stick up for them and we would make all sorts
of excuses about how terrible it is. So you know, we have two
standards in this country. It's very unfortunate. The press is
extremely dishonest.
And that was not the right clip I want to play unfortunately, I
have I have the one I want to play 32nd story.
How about John F. Kennedy? Did you admire John F. Kennedy?
I respected him. We never really got to see, you know, it's 1000
days, we never really got to see what the end result was going to
be with John F. Kennedy, but he certainly had a style that was
good. And I think it was good for the country. He was a
cheerleader. You know, to a certain extent being the
president, you have to make lots of good decisions. But you have
to be a little bit of a cheerleader for the country. And
I think that's where President Obama really lets us down. I
thought he would have been a great chip.
I wish I'd find two great clips had nothing to do with what you
were saying. finish my point. Yeah.
Move on. I'm
sorry. It couldn't do your follow up.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It
was a winner. Yeah, I'll get back to I want to just pick an
aside from that one clip you had where we already deconstructed
that phoney incident with the Breitbart girl.
Oh, who was in the commercial? Who was in the commercials
saying that he assaulted her and
yeah, which is that's the lie. Yeah. There's been way too much
evidence to the contrary, including they keep talking
about there's a Washington Post reporter witnessed it. They keep
saying that's like a meme. Exactly. There's a Washington
Post reporter that witness it. We've never heard from this
person. He witnessed it. But what did what did he witnessed
he witnessed the beach, her being pushed aside to get out of
the way. That's all that that happened. And there's there's
now a video that kind of confirms that and we you already
played the clip that where she's just talking about
and seeing what I'm seeing is she and her editor both
resigned. Well, this is where
I'm going. All righty. Okay, Ben Shapiro, who I've had clips of
on the show and you refuse to play him. You think he's a total
dick? He's that fast talk and kid who was I think a
conservative like I refuse to play him. I
don't know about that. Yeah, okay. You really
get irked, but you listen some about this guy. Really? Let's
see if you can do it. I don't blame you. Let's see if you can
do it again. You have a clip?
I don't know which one darling
Well, I don't have one.
Don't Have you are leading
as an aside that you don't like him as a as a as a clip source
because he's a fast talker. A real fast talker. And he was and
he's he just spews cliches is good. I think he's a great,
great talker. But if you don't believe me, I'm just telling
you, you're on it.
i Yeah, okay. I you know, I
I've seen it and fast talking guy and he's like a punk. He's
like a punk. You just don't like him. And he's been on the on the
conservative side. He's kind of competes with Ann Coulter as to
you know, write the books about this and that and yeah, anyway,
he's one of these character he quit with her and then a couple
other staffers quit. And this has that as their as if they're
making a protest. Yeah, I've actually orchestrated one of
these publication once, whereas everyone quits for some reason,
just embarrassed the company. Now.
You are a union organiser, John. I'm shocked.
So one of the things that I immediately spotted that I'm
gonna predict prediction for the Red Book. You watch that girl,
Ben Shapiro and a couple of other people who quit. I quit. I
quit in protest, where they're gonna go back into guy. They're
all going to start their own publication. And Pierre Omidyar
who hates Trump. Oh my god, if anybody wants to see some I sent
you a link to his Yeah, just tweeter No. Yeah, it's crazy.
What is he talking about in 99% of his tweets, Trump,
Trump hate Trump, Trump, Trump, horrible. Trump, Trump, Trump.
Well bring it up. Bring it up. Rita, you're great at reading
tweets. Read his tweet it. You sent that link to me. And I was
oh, wow, whatever. Holy crap. It's just like 15 a minute.
Oh, yeah. Every second he's completely absurd. Doesn't
he have climate movies to me
or something? Like I remember how do you spell his last name?
I
drive my car. Pierre Omidyar drive my car.
There he is, Ed. By the way. Yeah. gratulations. Pierre
Omidyar drive my car is has doesn't have the little
Oh, he's not verified. Yeah, very good. Trouble. I
got 520,000 followers.
On there you go. Maybe it's not the real guy. Maybe you got the
wrong account. No, it's
him. Okay, here we go. I'm just gonna read right from the top.
This year's biggest superhero movies are all about America's
descent into fascism. Why doesn't the real Donald Trump do
whatever the nominee has done since 1976. When the delegates
needed before the convention? Why is he whining? That was a
retweet from somebody else but Pierre retweeted it. He also
retweeted this Trump on his foreign policy advisors. I'm
speaking with myself.
I like that one.
He is now he retweets this. He treats a Paul Graham This is
beyond left versus right. The Economist rate Trump presidency
among the top 10 global risks. And even
as great
endorsing Donald this is this is like every minute is all in the
same 22 hour period. endorsing Donald Trump immediately
disqualifies you from any position of public trust. Is
there a rule is that a Biden thing I guess. Anyway, he goes
on and on. He also then he retweets the the the intercept,
which has been tasked with going after Trump, but they don't do
if no, they're not doing a good job at all. I
agree.
Because it's almost as though Glenn Greenwald. Just that guy.
I think he likes Trump in some funny way, because he thinks
that good makes for more news and better news cycle,
but he's not at the forefront of of any of the Trump noise.
No, no, he's not. But he has he has retweeted a few things. And
here's the intercept. He did Pierre again retweeting, he's
obsessed with Trump. It's wild is the area's retweeting the
intercept way says Donald Trump warns of riots at convention if
he has denied nomination. Now. This is interesting thing
because I've got the clip and
I'm just gonna say you caught it too. That is not exactly and
it's all over the news this morning. Donald Trump says
there'll be riots. It's,
they say it as it is an implication. They imply that
he's calling for riots. Yes. Now the best thing the closest he
comes is ABC does was hates Trump. They're still irked by
they can't get Bush in. ABC still is still on the anti Trump
bandwagon in a very subtle way. And very, I think they do that
one of the best jobs of it. And here is to wrap up on ABC have
Trump on the riots and Howard kind of what he said and they do
have a quote and they do have clips of him. And what he says
is, you know, it's he's I think he's doing more of a warning.
He's not doing it as they're they're portraying it as a
threat. Well, it's not a threat. Is the clip.
Donald Trump fresh off major victories overnight now warning
of riots, if the Republicans tried to stop him at a contested
convention, Trump winning several states that was in
bright red on the map, but not winning Ohio would makes it much
harder for him to reach that magic number. The total
delegates he needs to clinch the nomination before the
convention. Trump now calling on the party to embrace him saying
you can't ignore the 10s of 1000s who have turned out for
him. ABCs Tom Yamas. With Trump's warning tonight,
tonight, Donald Trump warning if the Republican establishment
tries to block his nomination, there will be chaos at the
convention.
I think you'd have riots. I think you'd have riots. You
know,
we have where I'm representing a tremendous many, many millions
of people. I think you would have problems like you've never
seen before. I
think I think it would I think bad things would happen. I
really do. I believe that I
wouldn't leave it but I think bad things would happen.
Words coming with these images still brushed American mind,
anger and violence at his campaign rallies. Trump now
saying it's time for, quote, a natural healing process.
We have a great opportunity and the people that are voting are
Democrats are coming in. Independents are coming in and
very, very importantly, people that never voted before. It's an
incredible.
Here you go. I want to contrast. Contrast that with Hillary
comments on the violence at the Trump rallies which have been
not of Trump's origin when you are sorry. Yeah, I just want to
say this is to me a classic Hillary commentary
when you are inciting mob violence, which is what Trump is
doing in those clips. There's a lot of memories that people
have, you know, they're in the DNA. People remember mob
violence that led to lynching. Oh. Yeah. DNA I remember. They
have lynching over here at the telephone pole.
Hey, you think ABC did a good job, CBS went all the way down.
They went as low as they could go. If you want to make someone
look bad, there's there's one television trick that always
works.
The 2016 election cycle has been tough for some adults to watch.
These students feel the same way. These are grade school
kids. Yeah. Are you tired of them being mean to each other?
Leading the witnesses, tired of them talking over each other?
Yeah. Are you tired of them making fun of each other? Yes.
Where do you think all that started? They pay close
attention to a range of issues immigration, gun control
terrorism. Donald Trump has said that one way you deal with
terrorists Some is just keep all Muslims out of the country can
you believe this? Believe is out of the country from coming into
the country for
not all Muslims are bad. Yeah, say that again. Not all Muslims
are
not all Muslims are bad some Muslims are probably super nice.
You look forward to being able to vote someday. Yes. Do you
think people your age should be able to vote? Yes do is we're
very very bright and really
paying attention. Yeah, I think that's terrific anytime they can
be involved
with me I wish I had like four of them, you know, every day
their authenticity
and their truth telling their authenticity, they're so
authentic,
they give you a clip of the day for that. You know, by that's
just going a little aside here for a second and I just thought
of this as I was listening to these kids,
it's not child abuse, what they just did their
total child. Now knowing that Neuro Linguistic Programming
tricks is it possible that these guys are liberals and
particularly the people that are promoting the not all Muslims
are bad, or using the brain trick that the brain does not
recognise the word
not? Yes, very good point. That which is why we always say
remember, instead of Do not forget, you want to say
remember, the brain doesn't parse
next. So the brain parses is that and this has been promoted
as the major meme in the mainstream media and especially
in the liberal side. Not all Muslims are bad, which is saying
all Muslims are bad on a on a programmatic basis. Yeah, so so
people are literally being bred and literally being brainwashed
to think all Muslims are bad in a kind of a 1984 mechanism.
Exactly. Which is view think if anybody wants to thinks about
that for a minute, you've now should donate to the show
because you've just got your money's worth
with that want to thank you for a moment we'll continue in a
second and certainly thank you for your courage your passion
sending love and light and in the morning to John C. Dvorak
with the C stands for brain freeze out brain freeze brain
freeze, cash cow, brain freeze.
Whoa, okay, well, humans random curry also in the morning all
ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water and all the names and it's out
there. And in the morning, everybody in the chat room, no

Cliff dynamite piece dynamite piece very, very nice.
Yeah, it was a good example of of the kind of, of derivative
art Yes, the way that you take something as is and you just

Oh yes. Correct. That's the way to go. Should be the right way
to go. We're here working. We're working.
We're always working on holidays. 317 Six The St.
Patrick's Day donation from Linz Sutton. Actually loads from not
bury. Now it is still Yeah, exactly. It's from Lynn. Yeah.
Okay. Hi Lynn. This donation comes for two reasons. Firstly,
I would like this donation to push my husband Barry, over to
the line to knighthood is on the list I think, to now be known as
Sir baz. Sur bios, please make him the executive producer for
this donation. Secondly, and most importantly, I need to get
some factual support on an unexpected argument that arose
this evening. Yes, the funny story, we're here. Here we go.
While having dinner with my sister who was home from living
abroad, the conversation unexpectedly turned to climate
change chair myself and my husband bas started or stated
that we didn't believe that the rate of climate change that was
being attributed to human means was as high as was being
reported. My sister absolutely freaked out. That was her. We
have a we have we have a recording audio? Yeah, she
freaked out to the point where she told us that we were Trump
supporters.
Ah, there you go. Oh, man.
Remember, we live in Ireland? And that she didn't know if she
could return home to visit if we continue to maintain this
position. Oh, yeah. It makes sense. We went back and forth.
In our argument she is a scientist told us that humans
were destroying the planet. She's, yeah, okay. She's She's
that. That way science. They feel that the humans are
destroying the planet. They're the same people that went zero
population growth, and are actually
global cooling. Same deal. When people are global cooling.
We encountered told her that there was there was more
propaganda around how climate change was the manmade issue
rather than being cyclical, and which it is, and cited how we
regular the here things like 2015 was the hottest year on
record with little proof or at least manipulated statistics to
back this up, which we actually produced on this show. This is a
problem again, with listening to this show. Well, you get real,
you get real deconstructed information that probably gets
you into family arguments, because they're just going by
what's going on so she
she asked for some links specifically about the about
NASA and NOAA changing their data, I actually sent that to
her open for you. And I also sent her the same you know, all
the articles about in the 70s when it was global cooling,
we're all going to die. But I would recommend not doing that.
If your sister I agree with you, your sister will never, ever
agree, certainly not by sending articles. No, it's just not
going to happen.
So this is so this meme is so well beaten into people that you
can't really get them out of it. You can give them all the
articles in the world. And you can see all the reports that
come through. There's a pretty balanced number of reports that
go either way, but they only read the ones that confirm that
we're ruining the planet. Yeah. And and they think the other
ones are just bullcrap. Even though you have plenty of them,
or the 30,000 scientists sigh other science or 97% or 98%
bogus thing, which we should probably replay one of these
days the explanation for it. It's so yeah, I agree.
I would just just find just fine harmony, fine. She said,
pretend she's like you're the younger, kind of below the IQ
level of a normal person, young sister, who really has to be
treated with kid gloves.
The bottom line for me and treat her that way is, again, we are
separated by the realities that we have your sister's reality,
that's really her reality. You cannot blame her for feeling
that way and being extremely angry at you because this is
exactly what she's been programmed with.
Yeah. And then I think the interesting thing about this
climate change fanatics are is the anger that they possess
because the sceptics don't have any of this.
I would recommend you ask your sister to read Michael Crighton
state of fear just ask her to read that book.
Yeah, that's a good example. Yeah, that's about
all you can do even that is sketchy but I think that's
that's a good thing. Jay read this book
before Michael crane died he'd commented on the on the
mentality of
actually put that in the show notes again, it's he had a whole
prelude to his to and I think it was a speech as part of its
well we have a clip it was on Charlie Rose went out dig the
clip up and we can play part of it but he was said he was she's
never seen anything like it. They share anger from these
people Well, Hannah, how they get so worked up and the case of
your sister yelling at you about you being a Trump supporter.
What's Trump got to do with this? He's that rare. He doesn't
even touch on global warming. So, okay. It's just like that's
I would have, I would have taken that as an affront. And you're
in Ireland. That's the joke of it.
even funnier. The current President Obama denied the
what's the name from Cynefin? Gary? Irish guy. Oh, that's
Northern Ireland. I'm sorry. Different. I'll back away.
Sorry, got my politics mixed up. I'll just say the, the north the
north, the guy from North you know, as Gary was his name.
Glengarry Glen Ross. No.
Scene Fan Guy. Anyway, he went, he was turned away from the
White House, a St. Patrick's Day celebrations. He was turned away
because of something wrong with his passport that didn't let him
in the Irish guy. It doesn't matter.
platy a Gerber who I must have sent an email or something
because I don't have a note from her. 314 16 I'll look it up and
see if we can catch her for this while you're talking. I'll
check. You never know.
314 16 And she's in Lisbon, Ohio. And that she's the last
executive producer for show 808 And we go dude, John Donne F
$234.56 Arvada, Colorado, and he will be the one and only
Associate Executive Producer for show 808 and his notes says Keep
up the great work. I know your preference is not to receive a
bunch of emails but I compelled to write after hearing the
overboard listener you discussed on episode 807. I want to
emphasise the point that all no agenda to all no agenda
listeners out there. The show isn't about who Adam or John
supports for president, but about the media deconstruction
and the thoughtful discourse that deconstruction produces.
I've enjoyed the show's coverage of the United States election
cycle and find the discourse thoughtful and productive. I've
been trying to promote the open discussion to my ultra liberal
Boulder Colorado colleagues and my work I actually seem to be
getting through Oh, careful now. Thank you so much for for
helping to cleanse my mind twice a week. And I don't know if it
goes any further I don't think so. Oh, no, it does. Sorry.
Blah, blah, blah. Twice a week. I lost try that again. And give
me a healthier outlook on the world. Please keep doing what
you do. Best. I haven't donated in a while so I stepped up to
help offer show aid away. Thanks
again. Oh, Google karma. Karma for? You've got karma. All
right. That concludes our executive producers and
Associate Executive producers in the value for value model, where
we don't take any advertising. We are completely free of all
shackles. I'm Freer here than I am on the street.
Yeah, I suppose I'm in Austin with doing good stuff. Bye by
Southwest we'd have to have a badge.
Oh, yeah. You gotta have a badge and a lanyard and, and a beard.
I have this year, I have the vape ball. tonnes of beards. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, it's it's not like cookie cutter man cookie cutter.
rolls to it. Yeah, I guess I don't know. Thank you very much
for supporting the programme. We'll be thanking everyone else
$50 And above later on in the show. And remember, these
credits are absolutely authentic. If anyone calls it
into doubt, we will gladly vouch for you remember, gotta show
come up on Sunday to vote red.org/n A and whether you're
on the streets of South by Southwest here in Austin,
wherever you are, and give our nation please go out there and
propagate the formula
is this. We go out with people in the mouth shut up. Now I
caught something which reminded me of something that we
discussed at the beginning of our run as show, though back in
two end of 2007 2008. And it popped up on CNN. And it was
funny, you'll hear this this news model. Just her head got a
little bit of luck. She could hear that she receives
information from her guest who is I think he's with the Kasich
campaign is definitely with the with the Republican Party. And
he re explained something that we know but I honestly I'd
really forgotten about it.
Your candidate said today regarding this violence of broke
out in Chicago last night ahead of the Trump rally. Here's what
your candidate said today.
Donald Trump has created a toxic environment and a toxic
environment is allowed his supporters and those who
sometimes seek confrontation to come together in violence, there
is no place for this. There is no place for a national leader
to prey on the fears of people who live in our great country.
But what about those who argue where was Kasich? Where were the
other members of the GOP establishment during the past
few years, as some of the party attacked the president,
President Obama was false claims, talking about where he
was born his citizenship, and many of them just to buy Where
was he then? Well,
John Kasich has been running a positive campaign throughout
this entire effort as in his run for president and I don't think
anyone would ever argue anything otherwise, the all those things
that you brought up, were actually created by the
Democrats were created by Hillary Clinton in 2008. And
some of the wild things that Donald Trump said, we think are
representative.
What do you what do you what do you mean? What do you mean, when
you say those were created by
Hillary? I mean, what do you mean? I mean, the birther
movement? I mean, I mean, the birther movement, I mean, the
the the notion that, that somehow
things came out here saying Hillary Clinton is
2008, that those things came out of the 2008 very ugly,
Democratic primary that went on on their side that lasted until
June. And, and then, of course, Barack Obama became their
nominee, and that ended up winning
the presidency by for me how you're pointing to Hillary
Clinton, for starting the birther movement against the
current president.
I like that this happened. Because I'm like, oh, yeah,
remember this. And if you go back and look, even on the
coveted Politifact, which is coveted by the Democrats
coveted, coveted? I tell you, they say that this started as a
rumour. In the end, I went back and we even have it in our show
notes and put it in again, it was an email that was
circulating the Clinton campaign about Barack Obama, when killer
was against him in the primary about him being in having been
born in Kenya and not in the United States. And that's where
it started. But of course, this is no longer known.
But I think it's well documented that that was, in fact, where
this all came from the 2008 primary, that the Clinton
campaign started these rumours about Barack Obama and they were
still able to come together as a as a family for the Democratic
party.
Our party will heal. Now. She's still confused. Listen,
Hillary Clinton just we're gonna move on but Hillary Clinton
never asked for the President's event. Senator Barack Obama's
birth certificate, Donald Trump led a lot of it and a lot of
people are and Mitt Romney wanted Donald Trump.
But Trump Romney,
what is Who is this?
With the woman or the guy, the woman, one of the CNN girls, I
don't remember who she
is. She's a mess. She's no good.
She was she was flummoxed because this is its fact. It's
proof as Donald Trump was
this goes back to 2000. He probably can't remember back
more than a month.
He but I'd even forgotten it. So
I actually haven't forgotten it. I remember the memo. But I mean,
she did yeah, the girl was right, because she doesn't
remember Hillary asking for the birth certificate. But that was
just a gimmick. Right. That came later. The idea that Hillary
tried was to put doubt in their minds. She was very ineffective
campaign painter then and she she still is.
And she's, she's jacked up on all kinds of drugs to keep her
status. She's
totally jacked up. It's why she screamed so much. So she's 70
years old me as you were electing, and I don't want to
say this, because I'm not gonna get I'm not getting any younger
and neither are you.
They're all 70. Bernie. Seven, but Trump
has got a lot of life to him. She's a 70 year old woman that
does, you know, it's like an old lady. And I hate to say that,
but that's just the way it is. And Bernie being almost 80 years
old. He's got a lot more energy than Hillary. Hillary's tired.
Yeah. And I don't think she's taken enough drag.
Let me set up the dosage a little bit
that she needs to go up and up the ante. Here's a couple of
Clinton things I want to play. My favourite one, which was a
news item this week, was Clinton going on Clinton really make
stuff up as she goes along to an extreme. I don't know how she's
gonna do as president, if she gets in, which I think is still
a good possibility. I think it's a very good possibility. And I
don't know what how she's going to handle things because you
make stuff up. And the the classic one is, Clinton lies
about AIDS and her role.
Hillary Clinton has been forced to walk back statements on
President Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Notice
how it's called Walking back. When it's Hillary. It's not
called lying. It's called Walking back.
Speaking on MSNBC, Clinton praised the Reagan's low key
advocacy about HIV AIDS back in the 1980s.
And because of both President and Mrs. Reagan in particular
Mrs. Reagan And we started a national conversation when
nobody would talk about it. Nobody wanted to do anything
about it. And you know, that's
the word we. She said we, yes,
she does that continuously. Yeah, he does that a lot.
Nobody would talk about it. Nobody wanted to do anything
about it. And you know, that too, is something that I really
appreciate, with her very effective low key advocacy, but
it penetrated the public conscience, people began to
actually happen,
penetrates insane. And it's kind of like the we were under sniper
fire
conscience. And people began to say, hey, we have to do
something about this, too,
after critics noted that President Reagan did not even
mention aids until the seventh year of his presidency, Clinton
apologise for the remark saying she misspoke about their record,
then I'll give her the same leniency I give to the other
candidates, you know. Yeah. So sometimes you believe something
was went that way. And you made up the story back then. And then
it's just it's cemented in your mind and you forget it, it
happens to have convinced
yourself that this happens. It happens. We want to make a
couple of comments on this. Because I was very cognizant of
in the San Francisco Bay area, very cognizant of the AIDS
situation. And what's what seems to be overlooked in all this,
especially with the Reagan's the timeline, right? Now, here's
there's two interesting pieces of information involved here.
One, AES didn't become like publicly, even an issue or known
about until around 1983 1984, when re Reagan was going to a
second term, so no one's going to be talking about it. It
didn't get to the point where there were even as many deaths
as there are car accidents till after the Reagan's were out of
office. And you can't say that Clinton did much better. This
was the the beginning of it. So so you can't expect Nancy Reagan
to be talking about AIDS at all, it wasn't really an issue. And
and here's the kicker, I remember very specifically
reading about AES, and if I remember reading about at the
University of California, in the library in the newspaper room,
because I was doing some research on something else. And
I'm reading these current events, newspapers. And I think
in the 80s, I think let's say 84, we went and thing really
started catch or 8383 84 and 85. The commentary was always the
same. It is going to we're going to have a vaccination for it is
going to take at most seven years, and we will have we will
cure it and so don't worry about it. It's something will cure in
seven years. And this was the Litany this was the meme, it was
curable, it was curable with shows, we get the vaccine any
minute now. In seven years. It'll be we'll have the cure by
then maybe sooner, maybe next year, maybe next week. And that
was that and that was that stayed in play for a very long
time. And then
once we figured once we figured out Yeah, go ahead. She just
tries to make it sound I mean, because when they make her walk
this back this bullshit back, this is all made up, which is
bullcrap. To say the least, that they kind of imply all these
news, all the news, people imply that that Nancy was actually a
bitch because she didn't want to talk about AIDS
days hated her. John, the gays hated her. I hated Ronald
Reagan, I was in the Netherlands. So I get a
different perspective at the time. But the Netherlands was
you know, the all kinds of social issues like that or at
the time very upfront, very open people really working on things.
And it was all it was consistent wrong, right, asshole. Nancy
Reagan even worse and then add to that, you know, just say no,
which is kind of like a big deal in Holland. No, it was it would
be for years. The gay community was outraged by the lack of
communication, the lack of speaking out what I recall.
Well, yeah, they have they have a son or Ronald Reagan Jr's gay
out. So there's some sympathy in that level. And they're both of
the two of them are actors from Hollywood, so they probably have
a lot of friends and good apparently, Rock Hudson was a
good friend and Nancy's so that's all bull crap. And of
course thing is bullcrap. Yeah. Anyway, just in that's all just
pointing all the realities out.
I got a few things.
I got one more things to say we're talking about Hillary
being full of crap. Here. Let's play one more Hillary, this is
Hillary just lying. But this in this case. This again is
Democracy Now who are big pro Bernie people, but this was one
of the funnier little episodes of Hillary lying. That reminded
me of a couple of different things, but the mainstream media
would had nothing to do with this story.
I always get a little chuckle when I hear my opponent talking
about doing it. Well, I don't know where he was. When I was
trying to get health care in 93, and 94,
Sanders supporters were quick to highlight archival footage
showing Sanders standing right behind Clinton during an address
on health care reform and 1993.
That was funny staying right behind, you know, I don't know
where he was. Turn around.
That was pretty funny. I'm actually I'm gonna give her one
this was, let me see. Yeah, this was touted by right wing media
as a big lie. But I'm gonna put it into context and say that she
wasn't really lying, because it's I'll play the clip the way
it was played.
Is Libya. Perfect. It isn't. But did they have two elections that
were free and fair, where they voted for moderates? Yes, they
did. Libya was a different kind of calculation. And we didn't
lose a single person. We didn't have a, you know, problem in
supporting our, our European and Arab allies in working with
NATO.
So that of course, what about the ambassador? What about all
the three other people in context? He's talking about the
NATO bombing of Libya, which lasted for six months with zero
television coverage in the United States. You could not see
any of it. We follow that very closely. It was a United United
Nations Security Council. Wasn't it was the number 1973 I think
we remembered the number even so she's referring to that and not
to what happened.
They're calling her out because of Stephens. Yeah.
They're saying oh, you lie you did lose. No, that's that's
taken out of context. Right. It's taken out of context.
That's
not a lie. That'd be what the context which he said was true.
We didn't lose any because we didn't send anybody the right
wingers at the time. By the way. We're all during that era. I
remember this. Oh, yes. Any people we should be sending
people we can't be leading from behind we're leading from
behind. We can't lead from behind we should be leading from
the front. Now we're actually advocating ascending people and
getting them killed. Now there's now they're bitchy.
Yeah. Now there's there's no doubt that she actually did say
this land of unconfirmed Yes, we came,
we saw he died.
I don't know why no one uses that. Why doesn't anyone use
likely a
word that should be used against her like nothing else? It's so
bloodthirsty,
I picked up a Bernie clip which disturbed me should he become
president? Not very likely, but just wanted to play it.
incredible things with energy efficiency, making our buildings
more energy efficient. We can create a state of the art rail
system, which takes trucks.
Now, why are the kids screaming about taking trucks
off the road? Well, drugs are annoying, but trucks and
it's the backbone of the United States. You can't just take
trucks off the road
trucks we would have no nothing you go down the tubes. That's
calculations show that trucks are probably more efficient than
any other way transport for goods and services. But
listen to the kids
of the rail system, which takes trucks
these kids will be cheering and we're going to turn grass that
it to read read.
Read red grass. Ah.
Oh man. Trump has a cruise, isn't it? I'll take Kasich, it
needs to be taken out by sick as well. If Kasich doesn't go, he
should quit. Well, if Casey doesn't go Cruz has no chance.
And then I've already seen some of the anger that Kasich isn't
quitting like the I don't have a clip of Glenn Beck is just
freaking out about that. So Cruz had to come up with a new a new
Gambit. He has a new Gambit. And he's repeated a couple of times.
Here is his new strategy. But
I suspect Donald will continue running and hiding and basking
in the protection from from the network media that is trying to
do everything they can to make him the nominee, because they
know he's the one candidate on the face of the planet that
Hillary Clinton can beat in the general Alexa play. Now, this
is an interesting theory as So, cruises out there selling that
the mainstream media is giving Donald Trump as much attention
as possible because they know that if he becomes the nominee
and runs against Hillary Clinton, that they know Hillary
Clinton will beat him. So that's very interesting what he's
saying what how is
the media done that the media has given him the equivalent of
about $2 billion This is
a number that did show I
mean, this is to me,
I've heard it.
I've seen it calculated. I've seen little charts. mean like
charts that come up and says show this number that has gotten
$2 billion of free publicity,
no free media, free Vimeo. But let's Listen to the rest of his
Gambit.
The media has given him the equivalent of about $2 billion
in free media free money to turn on the television at any given
moment. It is a wall to wall infomercial. You know, when they
were protested his speeches in, in Chicago, the media ran every
station just hour after hour after hour a telethon for Donald
Trump. I kept expecting Jerry Lewis to come out and make an
ask for money. And they do it constantly. Every network and
the point I make, this is not an accident, and it's not the host.
Listen, I don't hold it against the host. It's the network
execs, it's the suits in the suites, who are almost all
liberal partisan Democrats. They're ready for Hillary, and
they do everything they can to saturate the airwaves, Donald
Trump practically goes to the bathroom and it gets carried
live on on network television, every speech he gives, He does a
press conference. That's like watching the shopping channel.
He's up there selling steaks and steak knives and wine. The media
desperately wants him to be the nominee. And as a result, they
don't cover anything about his record about
yeah, whatever, whatever cruise fine. So that's
it. Meanwhile, he's giving him more publicity about himself.
I do have another Les Moonves clip who's done it again.
Because less is in seventh heaven, apparently.
Oh. So this is the CEO of CBS, CBS, Viacom, CBS. And the first
time we heard him in investor conference, he was talking about
how great it's going to be. It's going to be fantastic for all
the advertising money. Here's a guy who does not give a crap
about merch, I'll tell you that. But he actually does because he
cares about money, which is what we are all about. Is it too
early to know whether or not we'll see a new high watermark
for political advertising?
I'd be surprised if we don't see a new high watermark this is
this is a pretty interesting year. I'm going to be careful
what I said because I got in trouble last week for bad.
Something that got misconstrued about Mr. Trump. I said he's
very good for ratings.
Yeah, misconstrue you are you're pooping your pants, you were so
happy.
Put it that way. Our ratings are way up in the debates. And that
means extra money and political advertising. If you notice,
there's a whole new batch of advertising being spent right
now. The political situation is very strong. I think it will
remain so the rest of the year and obviously helps our local
stations a lot. We have a lot of stations in key markets. And so
we are looking forward to this year is to be a year that
delivers a lot of political, political advertising. What
becomes interesting, depending on who the candidates are, they
may be some Republican candidates, that local senators
and governors are gonna have to spend more money, because let's
put it this way, they may not be absolutely in sync with the
national ticket. So there may be more money spent that way from
going that way. So put it this way. We're anticipating a record
breaking year, everything we've seen everything we've heard, our
analysts tell us it's going to be a very good year.
Well, I got not brings another point. There was, then I think
people that are new to the show, we may have some new listeners,
we have to have to know that the
thinking Wait, raise your hand if you're new listener.
Okay, and pledge that you will listen again. There was never
going to be campaign finance reform. As long as the the
money, the profits, and all of all of it goes to the media
because it because the media would have to convince the
public this was a good idea. And this may actually account for
the fact that the one candidate who is sincere about campaign
finance reform it Bernie Sanders has gotten the least amount of
coverage. Now, in fact, there's a very funny clip that I have
here from Democracy Now. From yesterday, Sanders snubbed
again.
Last night, the major news networks played every candidate
speech by one.
Look, Congress may not talk about it much. The media may not
talk about it much. But it is unacceptable to me and the
American people. When the top 1/10 of 1% now owns almost as
much wealth as the bottom 90%.
You got it. MSNBC, CNN and Fox. All did not play Bernie Sanders
speech will go to Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina and
Florida.
I love the funky music they got going on there. Yeah, that's
what it does. Well, so I've been listening as you know, during
the day I have all three television networks on and got C
span on then I have Sirius XM 127 progressive the getting
idea, thumb. Michelangelo's Signorelli what's the woman in
the morning? whatever her name is? Yeah, all hate. Bernie.
They're all for Hillary. And this Yes. And they're tations of
progressive stage. Yes, sir. And they're taking calls and it'd be
like, Okay, we want to hear who you voted for. Not who's bad.
And if they are, there's NFC on the face bag. Now people are the
Democrats are getting pretty heated with each other. Hillary,
Bernie, Bernie, Hillary, and it's getting ugly. So there's a
lot of infighting going on there. They'll clip no
contrast that with the clip the show I like to watch for this
sort of thing is C span when they have the Collins Oh, my
favourite, and they have the girl there who is very judges,
very attractive kind of talker. She's there. And she she takes
one from the independent line and she goes on. And she, I
gotta go, I have to clip this because it's really well done.
She says, who did you vote for? Right? Why did you vote for
them? Why do you think that? What you know, she really draws
these people out. So it's the general public that listens to C
span which isn't anything but the general public. That and
they she gets him to say well, who they voted for why they
voted for him what they think about him. It's it's really
outstanding little product. It's really a good show. I'll get
some clips.
Did you see the anonymous announcement? Now what now
they're gonna get giddy as citizens of the world. We are
Anonymous. Let's get one thing perfectly clear. To my
subscribers and supporters. You may remember me as the one who
organised the complete shutdown of anonymous operations. Branch
of anonymous that successfully waged cyber war against Turkey,
Hungary Cloudflare and Donald Trump success in Chi silence
these hackers as a Donald Trump supporter, but that is far from
the truth. In fact, op Trump was the only thing they ever
accomplished that we admired.
So it just goes on and on and on. And what are we going to do?
We on April 1, April 1, we need to DDoS all the Donald Trump
websites
god okay pathetic.
With a bunch of these anonymous boys the sink pictures.
Well, what
sink pitchers, they walk in and piss in the sink. That's, that's
Don't you know, this kind of person.
Yeah, as long as there's no dishes and there's a Debbie.
I caught. The Bill Maher show has been fantastic recently for
this show. To get clean has
been and I have to say Mar is Mars. I don't know what he's
contrite about a number of different things he normally
wouldn't be half happy about. It's definitely he's still on
the other global warming thing. He's still too much.
I picked up now there were it looked like they were think Bill
Kristol was on and this was woman from seventh capital. She
managing credit, which is an investment bank, I think seventh
capital. Monica mattock. And she really just haven't listened to
that because I was expecting to have some kind of, you know,
Obama bought jumping up and down and she laid in about government
waste and spending are seeing this outrage
because there's an exceptional frustration at the fact that the
Government Accountability Office, for example, will look
at the Department of Defence and over the last 20 years $8
trillion is missing from their financials. That's $200 billion
a year missing. We talked about it
already wants to not look at that and just always says but
also more defendants.
But at the same token like when you when we're talking about
Social Security expiring by 2029 $67 billion, Donald Trump
wants I'm safe from $400 million that we could get if we actually
just audited this McCarran Ferguson act 1945. Insurance
companies are exempt from entry antitrust regulations. They can
collude together to set prices and share information how many
Democrats how many Republicans have been in office since then,
why is this still here? I looked at health care, health care
company shares from 2009 to today health care company
insurance stocks are up 400% while the s&p is up 200% This is
a bull market. Why is this happening? If we're forming
you're saying since Obamacare Yeah, this is what's going on
right? Why the reason why treatment Okay, cut a deal with
insurance companies. Because one party would not even consider
the idea that we cut the profit motive out of people sick and
dying, which is what every other civilised country in the world
so we cut the profit motive and they they became more valuable
with cheese Sounds like a little firebrand I liked her.
But she's she's a Trump shill for sure, because she's actually
giving the backstory to Trump's fraud, waste and abuse in. In,
what do you call it? In the Pentagon military? Yeah, this
independent non military that hasn't been audited forever. And
I didn't know that the insurance companies had. We're not
susceptible to collusion.
That's what she said that by each other up this kind of
window is one of the one of the reasons they got rid of Glass
Steagall. So they could let the banks do the same thing. And let
the banks become insurance companies, which was pre code
was was prohibited during the Glass Steagall era that Bill
Clinton kicked, you know, through to the curb. So we'd
have Dodd Frank, which is this huge monsters, the difference in
the size of these two bills is ridiculous, especially when you
compare the effectiveness but the size of Dodd Frank, nobody
can read it. It's just this was like a giant book.
It is rather complicated. All right, onward. Yes. Yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes. Oh, yeah.
Let's dive into the migrants and Turkey and the EU deal.
We'll have an entre month, then. Okay. This is we don't normally
do much of this. And I'm only gonna take many clips from
comedy shows because we don't normally do anything like that.
But I did have to get the one thing you've done already. And
I'm going to do it get this just a small clip of a piece of lie
Witness News on the Kimmel show where they go out on the street
and ask people questions as if what the questions are all
bogus. And the people because you're especially in Los
Angeles, where when wants to be in television or movies, they
they just pretend that they know the answer. And here's here's my
favourite one are four people
are against it just depends on who actually is for
what is the what is the what is the premise? What is the
question? What is
this question we'll go from, then the one is, is are you
happy with the fact that Obama has put so and so up for the
Supreme Court nomination? Okay. Things
that people are for people are against it just depends on who
actually is for or against in the society? I think I mean, I
don't have a problem with it.
But what did you think when you heard that President Obama
nominated L. Ron Hubbard to the Supreme Court?
Am I thought it was a good choice because I identify myself
as a Republic as a Republican, so I was pretty content with
that choice.
Do you think that replacing swearing on the Bible with an E
metre in the Supreme Court is a good idea to read people's
things before they testify?
I would say yes, I do. It just so that it's a thing as a
national one. Not everyone swears on the Bible and believes
in that so it's just more of a thing to keep it one.
Now, L Ron, gorgeous girl, by the way, a smart looking
intelligent UCLA kind of sorority woman in wish with a
sunglass. So she was the dumb Hello. Hello, world, dad.
Okay, so things are falling apart. Things are falling apart
in your hurricane. Well, in Europe, you're falling apart.
And the so again, the deal that is on the table, which is not
what all of Europe wanted, this is the deal being driven by
Germany who are bringing Greece in their in their wake to create
a deal with Turkey that would at least solve or alleviate some of
the issues with the migrants who now they cannot get out of
Greece. The Macedonian Macedonian border is is locked
up and we've had many clips and you can go online you can see it
is getting pretty damn drastic, particularly with the weather.
And they every weekend they're doing the new meetings at the
Starfleet Command. They're in Brussels trying to figure out
exactly how we can how we can fix this. So first of all, go to
I think this is Greece, and we go
a ferry load of people disembarks as Piraeus, the 1000s
here are now being housed in makeshift accommodation at the
port of Athens. 10s of 1000s of stranded across Greece after
border restrictions blocked the route through the Balkans to
Western Europe. Here in Piraeus volunteers are donating food,
clothes, blankets and medicine. Back in Russia. For Italian
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, the situation is hard to understand
Europe can organise expeditions to Mars he says, but in Romania,
we have women washing their newborn babies with bottled
water in so called refugee camps. This is happening in
Greece in Europe for on our continent. Any agreement with
Turkey muster Spectre values for this.
Okay, so the deal would include money payments, which has gone
from three and a half billion now to 6 billion apparently, it
would include a number of things. The most interesting one
to me is the visa free travel from Turkey to the EU. And this
would mean they come under the EU, quote, safe countries of
origin lists and I actually have that document in the show notes
808 dot no agenda notes.com on the list, or 12 countries that
I'm reading from this document 12 EU countries already have
national lists of safe countries of origin the commission is
proposing one common EU list designated as safe. And this is
supposed to go into effect four or five months from now. And
Turkey is asking to accelerate that to do it now. And under
Turkey, according to the EU 23.1% of all these applications
so far were well founded in 2014. I guess that means 77%
were bogus. One member state already designates Turkey as a
safe country of origin and they are an EU candidate country. So
there's this exchange they're working on which I have Schultz
here, who's the head muckety muck they're the council who
will explain a little bit more about this deal of repatriate
repatriate, sending them back, bringing them back in. It's a
nutty job creation. repatriation is nutty when you hear about it.
But the real question for me as we listen to this clip, is why
do they want to accelerate this safe country visa before it goes
into effect in four or five months, so we'll get to that.
First here is a Schultz regarding the turkey EU deal,
I think it was quite clear and to hear in the parliament's
debate also in the negotiations without full agreement. Sticking
to the rules of the United Nations High Commissioner of
refugees and the Geneva Convention, no conclusion no
treaty between the European and the agreement between the
opinion Turkey is possible. Therefore, given that the leader
of the Liberals raised in the morning in the parliament, we
have to check if this is compatible with the rules of the
Geneva Convention.
But he also said this was not just to explain what he's
talking about, because he's kind of fugly there. The idea is, if
someone comes to your country, and they're a refugee, and
they're not a refugee, if they don't, not a citizen of Turkey,
you can't just send them back. That's like you just lobbing
people back and forth, because they're not a citizen of that
country, either. That's why they need to look at the the United
Nations the Geneva Convention rules Oh, very, it's great for
these bureaucrats or what do you what would you call them, the
technocrats who are trying to work all this out, but vention.
But he also said this was moral bankruptcy, the whole deal. Now,
that was
not me who said that? I disagree. Those people who with
boats by smugglers are brought to an island in Greece with an
unknown future, and are retransfer to Turkey, and in
Turkey identified and then resettled from Turkey to a
member state of the European Union, we have to check if this
is
in do you hear what's happening? So you come over on the boat,
and then we'll send them back to Turkey or Greece will send them
back to Turkey, where they get registered. And then they have
the right to come back into the EU registered and I guess then
they'll just get a plane ticket or something. I'm not sure
exactly how that works. Just the last seconds here.
You'll remember the state of the European Union, we have to check
if this is in the frame of the Geneva Convention possible, I
think yes. And if it is possible, it is a harsh strike
against the trade model of traffickers. Because if it is
spread amongst the refugees, that it is more meaningful, to
be registered directly, regularly instead to deliver
yourself in the hands of a smuggler. Then we destroy the
model of the smugglers.
Yeah, blame it on the smugglers. Fantastic. I believe that Erawan
and Erdogan is is off his rocker right now that he's taught us he
wants to change the constitution. It's just It's
insane. What is going on with the with Erawan? I believe he
really wants to use this to destroy the EU as quickly as he
can to send as many people over visa free, go, go, go, go go,
go, go go. There's no other reason for it.
It's a possibility. It's very subversive, if that's even close
to true.
Well, you know, the turkey is now you know, the talks with
Russia are coming back online about the what used to be the
North Stream pipeline is not going to be the Turkish
pipeline. I think Angela Merkel, who was completely lost her
mind. If she's out of her depth, the German people are getting
really angry. But I think she also wants to somehow and this
is what the US will be worried about to cosy up to Russia to
get back to that they're not going to Germany is fucking it
up.
She was better off when they were tight. Yeah.
Now is really, really really messing it up. But if you're a
refugee, you've been on this horrendous trip. You've you've
just Well, I'm talking about this is Greece, you've been
shitty rubber boat everyone's sick and dying and horrible and
now you're in the mud and you have no future. But what does
the United Nations do to make you feel better? We know how to
make you feel better. Sorghum.
Angelina Jolie is no stranger to the spotlight, but the Hollywood
actress received a riotous Welcome to Piraeus port, Athens
to highlight the plight of refugees and migrants, because
the United Nations Special Envoy Jolie's mission was to boost
efforts by the UN's Refugee Agency and the Greek government
to deal with the humanitarian crisis. She said. We're very
pleased that Angelina came to visit we think Greece and its
peoples that this Syrian surely was later received by Greek
Prime Minister Alexis C price in Athens and from there is
eventually expected to travel north to the Edo mini camp on
the Macedonian border. Angelina Jolie's visit to the Piraeus
port gave hope to the roughly 4000 People hosted here.
How sad is this? Oh, oh, I've seen a movie star I have hope
now. It's true. The West is paved with money on the streets
and movie stars in my tent.
In the whole Attica region, we have almost 12,000 refugees and
migrants, while there are around 45,000 in the whole of Greece,
in Edo, many over 11,000 people have been registered, while the
Greek government is preparing measures for an imminent
evacuation of the area, a request also made by local
authorities. Furthermore, at Thursday's summit in Brussels,
Athens is going to put financial demands on the table. Ah
it's broken. That's,
that's and one more thing. It could also be everyone's idea. I
just I don't think he has any good plans for Europe. And
Turkey historically has had pretty evil plans for the rest
of the world. And everyone seems to be bringing back a little
mini Ottoman Empire that seems to be as his general idea. It
could also be that he wants to completely destroy Schengen,
which is, you know, this is the zone of countries, which does
not include the UK will have the border free travel. If all of a
sudden, we have one EU country saying Oh, come on, in no
problem, or the EU in general saying, Come on, in no problem.
They will only create more strife with the Schengen
countries. It's that everyone is a bad dude, you guys, my best
Trump, he's a bad dude. And this came up in a
second before you go on,
but it's part of the you know,
I mean, just so we can understand when you listen to
this clip, what is the end game? What is the what is the benefit?
What is the end game of Schengen going get going away? If you
have a country that does not agree on its borders, entertains
totally this what if all of a sudden, the United States we had
some people might think it's a good idea with a fence around
Texas and a border, if you break down? That's not That's not a
union anymore? The borders and money are the most important
things
in that way. Okay. That doesn't answer the question. Oh, the
ultimate goal. Do Why does everyone give a crap one way or
the other, that he would be trying to break down the
Schengen
to break down EU and TOS to flow that to build a to expand the
Ottoman Empire and to just have all of his people, everyone from
the his Ottoman Empire flow in wherever they can. He's been
pretty clear about what he wants to do, John. I mean, if you want
to talk about a real dictator, everyone's going Heil Trump.
This guy's the problem.
Yeah, the guy's a problem, even though he doesn't technically
have any power. Nobody's changing this. Now. He's calling
for he's trying. He hasn't done it yet.
He's also saying he's, I think,
if you watch any of the international news shows,
they're all there's riots going all over the place in Turkey.
They have not calmed down the public yet.
So he is campaigning for here it is. He plans to kick off a
campaign to widen the powers of his office in April as he seeks
public support for a possible referendum later this year,
which would and also he's talking about the press if you
condone or if you be if you know hate speech is all these things
that are going on. And by coincidence quickie clip, this
came up in a in a separate conversation with our buddy Wes
Clark, who of course, there's always done the seven countries
in five years and he brought Something that we've been
discussing on this show for years.
Well, so far it looks okay. The real losers, of course, are the
people of Syria who've suffered hundreds of 1000s of dead and
the people of Europe who are struggling through this
immigration crisis and especially Turkey, who has some
2 million refugees. It's now there's active risk, there's a
bombings and in Turkey, they've got problems at home. And we're
even part of that because of the one of the most wanted people in
Turkey is a man named Gulin, a former ally of President Erwan,
who's in the United States running a network of charter
schools right subsidised by the United States.
Somewhere somewhere in Pennsylvania. I believe it's a
really crazy story.
It's really crazy story. Haven't heard about it in a really nutty
story. Why God
woman that's on CNN. That was CNN, I believe. Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's what their Head Chief correspondents that clip I
had, like about three or four shows ago, when they asked him
it was he was on C span talking about his book or something. And
what about Gulag I never heard of him? And he's like their
number one senior correspondent.
Was that about the extradition now? I don't remember what it
was. Yeah, I mean, it they have no knowledge. And I want to plug
our producer it's
stunning that CNN is that naive about?
Yeah. Oh, I'm shocked. I want to plug killing Edie shocked
killing Ed film.com. That's one of our producers. Mark Hall is
about this about the schools and there's 50 of them in Texas
alone is crazy. Good movie to see when it when it comes out.
This flows into a another hearing on the hill. And, of
course, we are now talking about our broken immigration system.
Because we have to fix our immigration system is broken.
And I've dealt with the immigration system extensively.
I know exactly how it works. And there is one part that's broken,
which gets a direct which is addressed in this clip, although
it takes the senators and this panel takes him two hours to
figure out what the problem is because it's not that bad.
Besides, and this is goes back to the problems with with Mickey
you recall that the mistake of my own, she overseas he wound up
overstaying her her visitor's visa by two days, even though we
had the application in for her, her green card. And she got sent
back to came, came into the airport and they sent her they
put on a plane and they sent her back. You know, it'd be
disturbing? Well, it's disturbing when you go through
all the work. And so it's a lot of work. It's, you know, it's
it's formed, but it's also it's too much money. It's $420 to
DHS. And this is the point. The visas are ultimately issued by
the State Department. But it all goes through Department of
Homeland Security. So you can see. And you'll recall when when
that happened with Mickey I called Uncle Don, he said, Adam,
I can't do anything, get a lawyer. Because ever since DHS
took over this over visa, etc. It's been a mess. These people
are trying to say no, they're horrible. They don't know what
they're doing. So they had a person in from state on this
conversation and a person from DHS and there was some other
people on the dais. And they're talking about Well, the first
question was, how many how many people are overstaying? And what
kind of visas? Are they overstaying on? And the easiest?
So they didn't have an answer? They did? Oh, we don't know. We
don't really know. That's a good question. I don't know. And then
the woman from state i think she says, Well, the most visas or h
one? H was it b one and B two, which is business or, or leisure
travel, and people just overstay those and they stay and then
they want you to go through the process. So it takes them all
this time to figure out the following. Well, we
do know with some degree of uncertainty what what the
principal deputy was mentioning,
you weren't you weren't able to answer me how many? You know,
under what visa programme again, I understand vast majority visas
a certain category. So you assume, but it's not like you
have ready information?
Oh, yeah. There's also a guy who you're speaking a moment and he
is from the Inspector General's Office. So he has oversight and
he's disturbed by the whole thing
in terms of No, this is exactly how many people had you know,
granted, the visa haven't checked out in time? You know,
there's an overstay that's that should be you know, potentially
subject to enforcement. You know,
if any, if you've ever travelled outside of the country, you
already heard his mistake.
Oh, I missed it. Okay. Please mistake against how
many people had were granted a visa haven't checked out on
time.
What's the mistake he's making?
I don't know I can. We had no
exit process in the United States? Right. In every other
country I've been to. When you leave, you show your passport
and say, Okay, you're good to go. We have no exit process,
which doesn't see Unlike a hard thing to do, except that would
mean you have the visa database, which has had all kinds of
problems. It's been down for weeks, we have all kinds of
issues worldwide. That has to be integrated with the with the
DHS, and the Border Patrol was a part
of an exit process. We do it no,
no, we do not have an exit process. There is no exit
process in America and this guy, will they check your passport?
Not on the way out? They don't. Who does?
All the airlines and there's there's just been yet this
checked in passport, you have to have a passport to get on the
plane?
No. But that's not at the depth yet. Okay. That's to confirm
that you're the right person. But there is no, you do not show
your passport. There's no border control leaving the country.
John, you tell me where it is not here in America. When you
leave the country, surely? Well. The airline is responsible for
our visas. Now, there is no border
leaving the visa haven't checked out on time. There's an overstay
that's potentially subject to enforcement. General Ross, can
you can you speak to this? He was the guy who does oversight.
What you're referring to really is a biometric system for exits,
so you can understand who it is who's left the country. So
you're able to compare those?
I like what that guy said, because that's where it's going,
obviously
some for exits, so you can understand who it is, who's that
country? So you're able to compare those?
Two, it's just numbers. It's actually easier than that,
again, unless unless I'm missing something in terms of people
coming in with a passport and a visa. Those are those are,
that's numerical information easily loaded into a database
with a set time that that a visa expires, go we don't have a
record of this person leaving it. To me, that's an incredibly
simple database to manage now, huh, why don't we do it?
Well, as my most recent report shows, I mean, the the
challenges in the federal government in building these
kinds of information systems are very, very difficult. And I
think there has been some effort or a try to get an exit system
that has not been successful.
Everybody else does it.
Hold on, let me just finish up.
I'm effort to try to get an exit system that has not been
successful. So I think, as a federal government, we are aware
of the problem. But we have not been able to do a solution.
Would you agree with
me in the private sector, this would almost be like falling off
a log, you have this available development database like this?
Yes.
So this guy, the the senator still doesn't understand. We
just don't have an x as of what they're trying, I know what
they're trying to do. For some reason. We don't want to have an
exit system. I don't know why. And the thinking is, well, we
have the visas, we know how long they last, we have the entry, we
have the passport, we put that we combine all these systems,
which of course will never work. With that see healthcare.gov. We
combine all these back end legacy systems, which doesn't
know how government works, they want to build new and a new
cloud and let's create a new thing. Let's not just integrate,
we're really the only problem is just have an exit system. That
is the only thing that's broken. And I have standing in this.
I've done I've been through this. But why don't we have
that? I don't understand. Other than the integration between two
departments. That apparently
can't be done. Yeah, well, that. That's laughable, of course. But
let's see what kind of an exit system would be the one I made
many countries, you have to like buy a ticket to get out.
You can't come to United States without a return ticket. That's
for sure.
No, I'm talking about you have to like when in Japan, for
example, when you're leaving, you have to buy this coupon from
a machine. As it's like a tax. It's like 10 bucks or 20 bucks.
And you have if you don't have this thing, they will let you
out of the country, which is kind of like you know, it's just
a scam. And lot of countries do that. You have to figure out
which ones they are because if you don't have the debt, you get
the line. Next thing you know, you have to get this stupid,
whatever it is.
I think what the guy was saying the oversight guy, and when he
kicked off about biometric system, I think that's what's
probably in the works. So that's probably where the Oh yeah,
biometric system. Oh, yeah, it'd be great. Yeah, but give people
the chips in their arm. I don't know what he's thinking.
Eyeballs are.
Well, maybe, maybe, but it would just be simple to say, Hey, show
me your passport on the way out. Oh, it looks like you have a
visa here and looks like you're you've overstayed?
I don't know why they don't do that. You're right. You just get
on the go on the plane you get they do want you to have a
passport, not just for ID because you could use your
driver's licence and they won't let you.
They don't want to deal with taking you back if you're denied
entry to the country that you're going
to so that's the gist. This is a greedy rationale. For good
reason. You don't want to waste money. And so you get on the
plane then you're over there and then they check you in to the
then that's when you go through passport control. And then they
stamp and do all this other stuff. When you come back,
that's what I guess I got mixed up. Because when you come back,
you do go through a process.
So there may be there may be someone who's listening in the
audience who knows that the only thing I can garner from from
this hearing is that they don't want to create a standard exit
process. They want to integrate all these systems have been I
think it's been an ongoing fight ever gonna happen? No, it's been
an ongoing,
they use the integration thing as an excuse not to do work.
I'll make that my thing for the show. The government people I
worked in the government, the idea of not doing a lot of work
is very appealing. Oh, yeah. And who wants to go through the
agony because especially when you're dealing with something
that what you're talking about integrating to discrepant
databases that hadn't and there's plenty of people that
can do that effortlessly. But the problem is you get these you
know, as the is the mid level bureaucrats that say, Well, why
don't Can you make a decision does this
Oh, it's worst feature. It's worse than that. It's they're
probably fighting over who gets the who gets the contract?
That's probably gonna take longer than doing the actual
work.
Well, there's that to that.
So I was diving into the immigration thing, and I don't
have a clip. But I heard again, someone say, oh, Trump with his
wall bullcrap. How's he going to build it? This
is a wall. And by the way, Mexico is going to pay for it.
Yes. Do you know how Mexico is going to pay for it?
I think it was going to add some sort of tax or something. I
wasn't actually going to pay for it. But Mexican things going
across the border. We're going well, how
many times have you heard Donald Trump being mocked for saying
Mexico will pay for it continuously? The the Mexican
former president saying I'm not going to pay for it? Yeah. So I
did something really crazy. Yes. I went to Donald J. trump.com.
Oh, no. I know. I'm insane. Because, you know, Donald has
Donald Trump has no platform. He has no idea.
No, you know, he's just randomly mouthing off.
And he has a piece on immigration and hire and I'm
like, Okay, how exactly is this going to be paid for? And it's
quite extensive, actually. And here we go. I'm going to bring
it up here. Mexico will pay for the wall. Where am I? That's a
preamble preamble here. Mexico must pay for the wall until they
do. The United States will among other things, impound all
remittance payments derived from illegal wages, increase fees on
all temporary visas issued to Mexico, Mexican CEOs and
diplomats. And if necessary, cancel them. increase fees on
all border crossing cards, of which we issue about 1 million
to Mexican nationals, each year, a major source of visa overstays
increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico,
another major source of overstays and increase fees at
ports of entry to the United States from Mexico. Tariffs and
foreign aid cuts also options we will not be taken advantage of
anymore. And he's correct. If you do that Mexico is indeed
paying for it. And what and what he's saying is, you pay for it
or we just hike all these fees and you'll pay for
dimensionally. Yes. Same thing. What I don't understand is why
he doesn't ever say that. Why does he
I think that for I think there's a couple of things going on with
why he doesn't say that because I didn't know it either. And
well you guessed properly you had a you had a good guess I was
right.
I thinking that nobody's demanding that he explained it.
He's pretty much I think you nailed it early in the show when
he said he talks in simple terms. Yeah, doesn't say a lot.
You know, he's just simple stuff. Once
one or two syllables, very little syllables,
converses with the with the his audience, and he does his you
know, his 35 minutes, and then does a mechanic to get his hour
out of the way. And he's just conversation I think one of
these big appeals and you went to one of the events to check it
out. And it was it's nothing you know, it's just a guy up there
chatting away with some good ideas in general. I don't notice
that Bernie Sanders has got always bitch about Trump's got
no specifics. I don't see Bernie Sanders having specifics about
how we're going to be free tuition from the well,
no, I did. I went to everybody's website, actually, when I caught
myself saying, hey, wait a minute, I should look at all of
it. And Sanders, he's kind of say he's, he's always he's not
saying free college tuition free, which is there's a slight
difference in there for public schools. But let's be honest,
the message has been concatenated down to free, free
college, free university for everybody. And the way he wants
to pay for NCC says it's $70 billion a year is what it would
cost. And he's going to get that from the Wall Street.
Speculation tax that he carries he's going to tax them. Yeah. So
everyone does have a version of Trump's tax plan. But I just
spent some time looking at everybody's plans. It was quite
refreshing. Because they do have but that's it's never talked
about these. None of these were debate questions. So this big
shit show, which of course doesn't matter at all because
the party chooses who their nominee is not the people. It
did suit that's why they always just stopped by whose turn it
is. To pay your dues. You get your turn my turn.
Before we All right, thanks some people. Switch. New topic.
You want to go new topic, new topic. Well, let's catch up with
Brazil at least to get that out of the way.
I love catching up with Brazil because Brazil
is fabulous. Brazil's President and her predecessor moved today
to stay ahead of a growing corruption scandal. Former
President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva was named chief of staff
with legal protections that could keep him out of jail. He's
also expected to help President Dilma Rousseff fight to fend off
impeachment.
You know, one of the things that de Silva was was the previous
guy running the place, is that you they're calling him out for
being corrupted. So I'm like, Chris, a lot of this had to do
with Petrobras. And all the mid level managers that were do is
the whole company was done a bribe system. And they and
there's hundreds of millions of dollars changed hands with
different kinds of you know, this guy bribing that guy, this
guy bribing. But I look at De Silva. Where's the money? The
guy looks like a bum off the street. He's unshaven. He hasn't
doesn't have a place in Switzerland that I know of. I
don't know that he's living in a mansion. It's not like that guy
was running Ukraine, you know, with his fancy house. It's just
like, there's something very screwy about Brazil. Brazil is
just never a never ending. Screwed up place.
But it's the country of the future. Beautiful to visit,
though. Yeah.
It's a great place to visit. And that people in Brazil are the
world's greatest people.
The World's Greatest are in Brazil.
I think so so far is just being friendly. Yeah.
But damn, Angela, from Nevada just sent me a note about the
federal programmes for biometrics, which you can find
it biometrics.gov. Who knew?
I wouldn't have guessed that. Part of that is the REAL ID.
And then we have the office of biometric identity management,
which supports department of homeland security
responsibilities. We have the transportation worker
identification credential, my goodness register registered
traveller, we know that I'm gonna look into this and look
into this. See what's going thanks, Dame Angela. What I have
lined up here for is 60 minutes on Sunday. I was kind of blown
away, because we've talked about this very specific application
on the show that we're talking about the Apple crack about
terror, and sat down with the guy in France in the French
government who's responsible for anti terrorism and of course,
for finding terrorists and for the old the Charlie Hebdo, as
well as what do they call it? They call it the they don't they
say the kosher deli. I love that in the report. And it was a
kosher grocery. I've never heard anyone say kosher deli. It's in
this
report, early to he's told that terrorists are able to
communicate with total impunity.
The Francoise moulin is the head Prosecutor of Paris. He's
investigated all the big acts of terrorism here, including
Charlie Hebdo, the kosher supermarket, and now the
November 13 attacks. Were 130 people were killed more than 350
wounded. Do you have phones in terrorist attacks that you have
not been able to get into? Because of encryption? Yes,
yes. I've exceeded the with all these encryption software
programmes, we can penetrate into certain conversations. And
we're dealing with this gigantic black hole, a dark zone where
there are just so many dangerous things going on.
It's not just phones. One of the things he's looking into is a
texting app favoured by ISIS called Telegram, which Apple
iPhone offers advanced encryption. How often have you
run in and all your investigations into telegram?
We Yes, very often won't detect telegram we can't penetrate it.
We can't get into it. Oh,
well, I'd say honeypot. Telegram is known to be insecure. You
know, the funny thing is ever since we played with telegram
the two of us about I don't know two years ago when it first came
out, and then we nixed it as a secure method of communication.
And I still have it on my phone. Because I have the same phone
I've had for the last five or six years because fantastic
product. And everybody I know because I every time somebody
joins that puts me on some list or something, they get a
message. And so by telegram message box is filled with
everybody. Everybody I know, that I communicate with is on
telegram too. And it keeps happening people keep joining
it,
it well witness this kind of propaganda for it. They're
promoting an insecure app.
I thought that most people in the tech tech business in
particular all know that this thing is a compromiser sketchy
well that's what
I thought, but they're not terrorists terrorists need to
need to be using this app bore anyone who saw the 60 minutes
piece Oh, I could communicate securely that's great. And they
actually had a whole piece on the the Russian kid who created
who was now has no country or whatever.
No, yeah. This exists exactly what
people buy everything always is our yucking this up. Did you see
that? There's a tweet going around. That was an I guess it
was from so it was cut and pasted from some what people
thought of the no agenda show? No. And that one, I think it was
a number three. Everyone gave us five stars stuff. This one guy
gave us one star. And his comment was
oh, yeah, it was a review of the of the app. Yeah.
Yeah. Two idiots last night laughing or snuggling to idiots
niggling through the National. What was it national tragedies
to idiots niggling through national tragedy?
Amen. That's right. That's right. The two of us snuggling
pretty much as we snuggle. Snuggling and snuggling up
snuggling up snuggling
anyway. Douche Yeah.
Let me see. Then we get one
of them says you're talking about Brussels. Let's play it.
Oh, I'm more formal Brussels terrorists clip they can I think
there's on New Zealand to
a manhunt is underway in Brussels for two suspects with
possible ties to last year's Paris attacks. They fled last
night after police a police raid turned into a shootout and
Algerian man was killed. And investigators uncovered a trove
of weapons and ammunition. They also found in Islamic state
flag. The November shootings in Paris left 130 people dead. And
today French police arrested four people suspected of
planning a new attack.
I have the I think the EURO NEWS report the same. If this had
happened this was happening in any US city where there were
terrorists and gunfights
this Brussels. This is Brussels, the home of the EU. Brussels and
I'll bet you there's more depth there's almost as though they're
building up an armoury in Brussels so they can attack the
EU that would police would I think would be a proper thing to
do in Brussels
searched buildings in a city suburb well into the evening
hours after a French Belgian raids linked to November's
Islamist attacks in Paris ended in death and injury. The
authorities say police were fired on as they carried out a
routine search for officers were wounded in a subsequent
shootout. Hours later, police stormed the building and killed
an individual armed with an assault rifle. police haven't
confirmed reports saying two suspects are still being hunted.
The events kept the Southern District of Florida in a state
of lockdown. They asked us to evacuate the bus because the
police had blocked the street. We got out and walked then I
heard gunshots near the church, but I'm looking. I also heard
two women were involved so I walked away and stood at the
stop over there. Brussels has witnessed many raids and
security scares since being identified as the base from
where the Paris attacks were planned and coordinated.
Tuesday's ordeal lasted for hours for many parents only able
to collect their children from schools and kindergartens after
dark.
I'm just surprised by the lack of overblown big story. Oh my
god, you know what I mean? Does that happen here it would be so
it'd be explosive.
It'd be fantastic. ever get any news about anything else?
And one of the things are Producer Christopher, who sent
me a product which I've been trying. Adam I hope these
pinhole glasses help you as much as they as they've helped me. I
work in an office where I spent eight plus hours a day reading
medical record documents from a computer screen before getting a
pair of these I would often leave the office at the end of
the day with tired eyes and fuzzy long distance vision Since
using these I no longer experience fatigue guys I
thought to be perfect to you. I remember hearing in a recent
show that you are experiencing some vision problems. Yes. So my
my nearsightedness the focal distance changes from day to day
depending on I guess I how I woke up. And are you familiar
with the pinhole glasses?
Absolutely.
These are fantastic product.
Like that's the mechanisms exactly the way a pinhole camera
works well you can take out you can take filming, make a pinhole
camera, which is the pinhole and the light goes through that
little hole, it actually comes into some sort of you can focus
that well according
to the brochure that I received with it. This is a closely
guarded secret how work how it works.
Cool. Yeah, it's quite closely guarded secret guys going back
to like the 10th century
1934 is actually when the patent was filed. Well it's an older
idea that it's an interesting that you'd be putting on for
like half an hour and you do kind of get used to stuff and
and the whole idea is to retrain your your your I guess your the
muscles to adjust your focal distance. I'm thinking would be
a perfect product for us to sell.
Yeah, yeah. You're right as a good you're on to something.
Show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Well, we do have a bunch of people to thank for show
8088082.
And I want to also say 808 is very important number in the
musical industry, music industry, aid away the famous
Roland 808. Who doesn't know it.
Also is the area code for Hawaii. Which I get the number
of people tweet me that Oh, you missed them. Well, you missed a
gimmick. I guess we can get the to Hawaii listeners to come on
board. Let's thank a few people who contributed to the show
today. Show 808 Starting with Jason Daniels from Dallas. And
$173.16. And then we have William Granger. Marion,
what does that number four. What does that number? The odd number
173 16. One seven, I have no idea and he doesn't send a note
or anything we don't know. Let us know this is obviously a
meaningful number. Somebody in the chat room might know it's
probably recognisable. 169 69 in Marion, Indiana is William
Granger. And he said he actually said a card. He sent us in a
very nice card. We love cards. And he and in the car he wrote a
hand wrote a note and then did what a lot of producers do. Type
the note separately as a something that was actually
readable stops nobody could do longhand and his top
173 16 is of course today's date. 17 316
Okay,
thanks coming nerds obviously paying
zero attention to anything. From Sir William the Red Knight.
Thanks to the best podcast in the universe for keeping us
informed in these obfuscating times. It's impossible to put a
real value on this show, but I hope my meagre $169.69 can at
least Garner me some much needed love karma. Have a happy
daylight savings. We'll put a comment in for you. You betcha.
Thank
you so much.

he donates twice a month, as grant every once in a while he
ups the donations usually 50 bucks twice, twice a month and
he puts 100 in. He's the best. He's in Whittier, Matthew
Kilgore in Oklahoma City 12345. And we also had a note from him.
Now, Matthew, they would reasonably read to read some of
these notes that are actually handwritten and sent in Matthew
Han wrote this note and I think he's a millennial, but he can do
kind of longhand. I'll just read part of it. Okay. Is it okay
see, I have been a longtime listener that he scribbled
something out I have no agenda and if and if I am finally in a
position to where I can de douche myself. I some scratched
out started off Lee's got lots of scratch that to you guys. A
while I was living and something in China, something scratched
out here to some mess. The very first show I listened to back in
2010 was Adam loosing losing his mind is my yes on John due to

and Mead go to node.com/ring rings and Eric will get one out

somebody tweeted me saying that they sent a note which is what
I'm still looking forward to their tweet name and is like,
you know, it's not a real name and doesn't have an email
address attached to it. I don't know if I heard from him. I get
very disturbed by these things by why anyone tweets me about
this is beyond me. But what? Well, when somebody says that we
missed them and they notes to you and Adam, and their and
their tweet name is like, troll 30 or something crazy.
Oh, that guy. Yeah. Troll 30 We'll send it again. We'll
figure it out.
A Honda's Honda's Honda's
view actually jumped in on on my beat and you sent me this video,
I'd already seen it. And I figured I'd pull at least one
clip from it from my beat the view. And this is just a call
back to Melissa Harris Perry. Yeah, who pretty much called
MSNBC racist for not dealing with her appropriately. And
he's obviously a she's like he was a professor or she's
lecturer. She's
still appreciated professor. She thinks she's almost never worked
in
the business. I've been on hiatus. And she's all bent out
of shape, because she's the centre of the universe.
And she actually views racial tones. Let's call it that racial
words and comparisons to her then employer, now former
employer. And I just loved her backpedalling on this on the
view when she was asked exactly what did you mean,
this is what you wrote, quote, our show was taken without
comments or discussion or notice in the midst of an election
season. I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,
by the way, but I walked onto the set of MTV one day, and
there was Ricky Rachman with Axl Rose. Oh, Adam, you're not
hosting headbangers ball anymore, because you know, hey,
Ricky brought in Axl, that's how it works. That's television. You
win some you lose some you're not in control deal with it.
This is what you wrote, quote, our show was taken without
comments or discussion or notice in the midst of an election
season, I will not be used as a tool for their purposes. I am
not a token mammy or little brown bobblehead. So as the
implication that there's some racism in there. What do you
think? Well,
so you have to remember, this was an email I wrote internally
to my team, I didn't have any intention or were only racist
behind the scenes. All right, have any expectation that that
would ever be public and so part of it is me writing into my
team. I'm a African American politics scholar. So when I say
mammy, I mean something very particular.
Okay? Because she's a scholar, she gets to use words in her own
context. And
it's basically the history of mammy is that Miami is the black
woman who cares more about the Masters family than about her
own? And so what I'm saying is I don't care more about MSN DCS
reputation than I do about the Northland family.
Okay, couple of things. First of all, the nerd land family, get a
grip on your on your team. She She even made it worse. She
thinks she made it okay, but say oh, no, I just mean this is I'm
not working for you. No, I'm working for the family. Not for
the
the evil White
Corporation family. What's she talking about?
She she has this Here's how it works with I've seen this a
million times. So you're assigned a producer. And then
that producer keeps working on your show. This producer
probably does other things. And the camera guys, some weekend
shows they've your particular team. And they became really
tight. The Nerd land family. She's delusional, delusional is
what she thinks she thinks that she somehow has some right to
her show or whatever it is. And then she goes on to say, the way
I mean, it is, oh, it stayed with the black family, not with
the white Massa. I mean, come on. It's my brain is fried over
it, and
then about her own. And so what I'm saying is, I don't care more
about MSNBC reputation than I do about the Nordland family about
the thing that we built about our viewing audience and about
our team and
sounds to me like she just called them racist. That's all
that she did not backtracking very well not called out of
course.
So I didn't want to be used as kind of cover that I think it
was racialized, not in the sense of like, they're coming after
a crap show. She's a terrible host. Let's start with that
premise.
One thing let's let's finish the
last 30 seconds, you'll have more to come on that was
racialized,
not in the sense of like, they're coming after Melissa for
being black. She even leaves
a little bit of room that not really racial, do this, so could
be evil. Why
do I think it has racial implications? 100%. And here's
how I know it.
Oh, it has racial implications. Our show
had the most diverse guests on cable news, period. It just as
an empirical reality
and empirical reality. John, she must have the data to back it up
is a professor speaking, I want to remind you empirical reality
that the downtrodden and the lame of the society could only
appear on her show nowhere else,
just as an empirical reality, taking this show off the air,
even if you put me individually back on as a host, meant that
the folks who sat at our table whether they were transgender
women of colour, whether they were Latino Republicans, they
just weren't going to be there anymore, because we were the
folks who put them on air each and every week. You got some guy
with a limp. You know, we put you a you
got a humpback you're on our show,
you know, she comes on this show, and she's got she's
wearing she's one of those deal. There's old terms for them. And
she's got probably 1/8 Black maybe she's a very white looking
person. Yes. And she's wearing white ish makeup. She's wearing
makeup that lightens her skin. So she's she's if you just saw
the show, you think she might be Latino? She could be French, you
know, that's that level of black. And Whoopi just didn't
in there was nothing I could pull from rupees response to
anything. She just sat there steaming I don't think she likes
his woman at all with good reason. But
she should have said something. This is I can't believe no one
is saying Hey, hold on a second. You're making it even worse.
Yeah,
well she's a racist.
And let's point out one thing 100,000 viewers if that on the
weekend, please. I zero rating high zero ratings
was talking about asterisk girl one.
And asked tick.
Yeah, well, I didn't know you're gonna clip from it, because I
just thought you'd get a kick out of it. But he did.
But I thought that was necessary just to
be piling on this woman. But I thought she was just horrendous
person. As a person. I didn't like her at all. I thought she
was incredibly racist, and bigoted. She's so bigoted.
I enjoyed watching the show. There was always something funny
as always, somebody saying something crazy.
I could not get through that show. Let's get get back to more
of a downer or show that everyone can understand with the
theme and always has a theme. Let me guess This is Democracy
Now. And the theme in this case is the start with this clip.
Global warming getting worse as usual.
The new study shows the number of people who could be displaced
by sea level rise this century due to global warming is much
higher than previously thought with more than 13 million people
at risk nearly half of them and Florida those numbers are about
three times higher than previous estimates for displacement,
Deepak Mishra elaborated on the findings
I think there are certain layered approach that can be
that can come from stem from this research
so nobody can have what is he saying a layered approach that
can stem from this issue as soon as I heard that which is trigger
words for a bullshit artists from India who this guy
apparently as I said, Oh my God, he's with these making no sense.
He's just throwing words were layered approach. What does that
mean? So I have to say Part of him goes to comprehensive
reform John it's the same thing layered approach comprehensive
immigration reform.
So this will be the mumbo jumbo clip and I want you to I want
everyone who listens to this guy who's the expert of the day I
guess, listen to what his sentences out what listen to
each sentence and listen to his words and piece them together
like they should be a sense of tell me if anything he says is
coherent or makes any sense whatsoever.
For example, you know, if you if you tell people that okay 85
years down the road, you know, 13 million people will be
affected if we take the most extreme projection which is 1.8
metre sea level rise by 2100. But I think we need to take the
study forward by doing another study of what is the impact of
sea level rise right now. In terms of you know, frequent
coastal flooding.
Oh, nice to have Oh, Maalik on the show.
Okay, that guy
he just talking about John Sears if we're going to talk about sea
level rise and in the State of the Climate then there's only
one thing we can do because of what's happening
in Greenland right now.
The maps of the world will have to be redrawn here we go once
what would happen
to San Francisco Bay
bay from here I've got this window next to the studio and
the mud flats are there in full there must be low tide there's
not a drop of water that's all muddy and have risen moved is
nothing changed. Nothing
out there I'm seeing no change. I don't see any sea level rise.
But let's go. Of course I'm just looking at the reality so I
couldn't be wrong. Oh, crazy. Let's play one more of these
clips. This is another one on Democracy Now because she can't
stop talking about it. This is another hot month.
Oh, yes. This was this was great. Yes.
New data from NASA shows global temperatures last month smashed
previous monthly records making February the warmest seasonally
adjusted month in more than a century. homekeeping
meteorologist Jeff masters and Bob Henson call the report a
quote bombshell a true shocker they said
was a shocker shocker. What does this season bombshell
What does seasonally adjusted
mean? Basis Vegas they fudged the numbers seasonally adjusted.
It's it's a new fudge. They get fudges all over the place that
we know this for. You know from years ago, they've been doing
this. What do we have to do to make these numbers good. And now
I got an idea. Let's call it a bombshell
of a shocker bombshell report bombshell.
bombshell. And it's because
of this with just they don't explain seasonal adjustment or
anything it and all of a sudden weather is now climate, I guess
month to month. Is that how we're going to roll? month to
month now?
Yeah, month to month? Yeah. Docker.
It's a total shocker. I tell you, I was so surprised. Okay,
my last clip, and we should go? Well, you may you may have the
last one. But I just have to pour some depressing stuff. And
then you can bring us back up. I got one. Yeah, there was an was
a lot going on in Washington. This was about, I think, was the
judicial oversight committee. And the Congress the
conversation, the topic at a certain point was because
there's a bill on the table, a bill about partial or full
birth, full partial, partial live or full live abortions. So
apparently, when you're going in at 22 or 23 weeks, it happens
that the abortion happens that the child is aborted, but it's
alive when it comes out. And this is more frequent than you'd
think. And it ghoulish it's, it's well, and this is why I
wanted to play this. So the question that the Senator has,
is if the if if there's an abortion that takes place, and
the child comes out alive, should that child then receive
medical care or not? Now I think we're really getting to the crux
of something interesting. So now it's no longer it's no longer an
aborted foetus. Now we're talking about a, I guess, a
human who has come out and then what is what should you be
doing? Should you wish that child off? Does the child have
the right to have all care necessary to keep it alive or
not? Very interesting to hear the feedback from the people who
are questioned. You'll first hear the See, I think it's an
abortion researcher scientist. And there is luckily someone who
disagrees with that at the end, but the the the topic itself and
how it was discussed was ghoulish and kind of mediaeval.
The way they're talking about
it, any of you, I said, specifically, including the
minority witnesses disagree, that a child born alive, whether
it's after a failed abortion or not, should get all available
medical care for survival. Dr. Foster,
I think that the problem with this bill is that it treats all
pregnancies the same, and there are pregnancies where the I do
disagree that I can imagine situations where the doctors and
nurses have decided that there's not a point in medical
intervention, and by whisking the baby away, you've taken away
a woman's chance to hold her child and say goodbye.
So this, yes, yes, this is what caught my attention. So what
they want is, if the child is alive after a failed abortion,
you should give the child to the mother so she can have it die in
her arms instead of giving life.
Oh, my God has more, or whisk it away. So it's almost as though
they're saying, which says you can say goodbye. And then you
they take a club and knock the kid down. Well, the whisked
away thing, which is is refuted later on but the other person,
the idea and so the choice is, oh, it's a boarded Here you go
hold onto the kid while it dies, or whisk it away and try and
save its life. And what this researcher said as well, I mean,
not all abortions are the same. And you should be able to just
have the mother hold the child while it dies in her arms.
And by whisking the baby away, you've taken away a woman's
chance to hold her child and say goodbye.
Okay, so if there is care available towards survival, you
think that in some cases that care should be denied.
I think that the law says that, that all that the child has to
be taken away and receive medical care if there are signs
of life, which doesn't allow for the physician or nursed or the
more importantly, the wishes of the family to say that, that
they don't think that that care is going to help in this case,
and that they want to be able to hold their child.
And if if the care could lead to survival, do you think that that
should be able to be denied?
I think that doctors and nurses and women themselves know best
whether care would lead to survival, this bill doesn't
allow that judgement to be made.
I just I just agree, disagree with what you're saying. The
worst complication for an abortionist is to have the baby
born alive. And I do not feel that the abortionist has the
best interest of that child at stake. And the end, the mother
may not either. The bill is not saying that you must give that
that baby extraordinary care. They're just saying you have to
give them the same care you would give any other baby at
that gestation. And and at that gestational age, they do need to
be where they can get the best help and the mother can go with
them.
And this just went on and on. It was disturbing. disturbing.
Yeah, I can kind of see what they're trying to say. Yeah, I
think there's a lot of agendas. There's a lot of agendas in
this. In this topic. And this bill. Personally, I think we
should have an amendment to the bill that if you have an aborted
baby, and it's alive, you'd let it die and you could mount it
with taxidermy. I think that'd be kind
of cool. Just having a goalie and having the guillotine
collected a full set
no less ghoulish than the stuff they're talking about. I'll
tell you. No, I'm very, very good, even though we're
snuggling through tragedy.
Yeah, that's it. That's it. We're just snuggling away. Okay,
I've
got one last clip. And this is what happens every year. I don't
know. We don't cover it all the time. We covered it every so
often. And this is the Happiness Report. Oh, that the UN
produces.
And I guess Can I guess Can I guess Can I guess?
Oh, actually, I'm gonna have you guess a bunch of things. But
I'll let you guess the number one. And never I'll give you the
last one to the 270 Whatever it is, but yes, guess. Denmark.
Right. A Redis. You heard it someplace. It was all over the
news. Yeah, of course
holidays to Disney Land. Denmark is now officially the happiest
place on earth. The United Nations says so in a new survey
of countries based on health data, job security rates and
other social and political factors. The United States
ranked 13th Burundi came in last
the Happiness Index, but I've always wondered how they how
they how they come up with this happiness index. Well,
there's some bits vague, but I've got a couple of things. One
thing to say is I've been to Denver and now Denver, Denmark,
same thing. Very cool. very similar Denmark and they
complain a lot for happy people. I think they're there. They're
their competitors that constant. Well
do you do you have a question because I have something to say
about that. I
have a question your question I want you to guess who came in
number two? Number two
idea. Of course. I don't know this. Is it will you give me a
hand as a European country?
Yep. So let me give you a real hint. It's right in the middle
of Europe. Turkey. Strict question. Switzerland's number
Switzerland. Number three, you'll never guess. Iceland
Iceland. Okay. Okay, I'm gonna just give you now I'm going to
stop giving you any more because right now, here's the quizzes
little quiz. It'll ask Adam kind of action United States came in
13th. I'm going to name a country I'm going to do this
just I'm not going to bore people stick with his budget.
And I have to say higher or lower.
Today, I'm going to name a country and you're going to say
if it's higher than the United States or
lower, ie happier or unhappier
happier or less happy than we are in our happy country. Okay.
Costa Rica.
Unhappy. Lower. So I was correct. Lower
Right. That's you'd lower not unhappy, but less. Less happy.
Belgium.
Oh, completely unhappy.
Number 18. You're right. Costa Rica by the way is only number
14. So they're pretty much the same as we are. Alright, let's
try something else. This was the United Kingdom.
I'll put them above the US
wrong 23
Oh my goodness.
They're right there. They're just above Chile. And below
that's bad. Another country. Let me try another one. Netherlands.
I would put Netherlands
probably at 11. Seven.
O higher than I thought so. Yes. Higher than a Israel. I don't
know. Happy? Yeah, I think they're happy higher than the
US.
So you're right there number 11. is matter of fact. All right.
Let's try Austria.
very unhappy.
Nope. They're happier than the United States by one dose
happy people. Yep,
they're happy. Okay, last due to more than were killed the show.
Canada. Oh, very happy, much happier than we are.
Yes. Number six. As a matter of fact, now they've done well for
themselves.
I looked at the number one Denmark, because I did of course
see this report. And then I also looked at the percentage of the
adult population male and female on this on the scale. Who what
country has the number one prescriptions of SSRI medication
prescribed to them? Well, I
hope it's the United States. No, it's
percentage wise, it's Denmark. And Noah 38% of the male of the
adult population is on SSRIs antidepressants
in Denmark. Yes. Oh, they're so happy. 30 Of course they're
happy. Days. Hey, man. One last one. Lot give you two more
tomorrow. One Ireland. Did we already do Ireland? Oh, we did.
Sorry. Yeah, they're unhappy. Okay, let's try this one.
Luxembourg. Oh, super happy. They're rich. 20 They're way
down.
Maybe though maybe the riches are Oh, really? I
think you've nailed it is SSRI. You need the drugs, man. You're
not happy without the drugs, depressed, Danish are taking
SSRIs and so the this is the United Nations encouraging usage
of drugs. Well, I didn't say they're encouraging. That
was what sounds like to me.
But yeah, 38% of the adult population is on SSRIs in
Denmark. No wonder you're happy. And it doesn't surprise me The
Dutch are pretty happy all stoned. Although I'm very
worried about that, let
me read off the list. Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway.
And by the way, when people say Icelanders are not that happy,
nor what but they you know, they have a good life. Norway, I
Finland, Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, which I could have
maybe strict you with. Australia is number nine sweetens number
10. Israel's number 1112 is Austria. And then the United
States followed by Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Germany, Brazil,
Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Mexico. Love to that it
starts to deteriorate.
Well, the evidence is clear. In order to be happy we need more
drugs. Yeah, and I was gonna say the Netherlands I have a bad
feeling about some tariffs shit happening there in the
Netherlands. I think their prime that'd be next great country to
do something maybe real or not? Real
bad Paris bad vibes bad
vibes. Alright everybody. Thank you for joining us here for our
