Talking about overkill, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday July 14 2016. And time once again for your award
winning game on nation media assassination episode a four
is no agenda, curing all
that ails society with our digital townhall and
broadcasting live from the Capitol, John star staying here
in Region six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where boxcar after boxcar goes
flying by I'm John C, Dvorak,
Buzzkill.
Bam, that's what I call an opener.
There's no boxcars. Who are these container things? Oh, now
they got that little bitty one. They got the big one and
sometimes some trains would have the two big ones. But now they
get these little half ones.
Good old boxcar you could get into and travel around the
country doesn't exist anymore.
Now this is containers. I have I don't think I've seen a boxcar
for a couple years.
Just a few maybe
craps table Yay.
Yay. Yes. Oh, that's right. I was in Vegas.
Yes, indeed. what a what a segue.
Well, you said the craps tables that you start Yeah, that's what
I
said. So I did it for
and I have to announce
yeah Nonsan anything?
That's right. We did not get married No. Had a good time
though. And I really want to thank Dame Angela in Vegas for
hooking us up you know we have someone who works in Vegas and
believe they're almost all their life.
They got connections. I'm sure that we get a few people that
connection or
you get like hooks that hook up with with hotel rooms and comps
and all kinds of fantastic stuff in comps comps. I was in really
good. Have a good time. 48 hours back back in the saddle just in
time for many town halls. It seems like whenever we have a
problem in America when you did Town Hall, town hall will solve
it all.
In a town hall sold nothing.
You want to start with that? Or do you want to start with my
favorite topic of the day would be Pokemon Go?
Well, let's get Pokemon Go out of the way.
Yeah, I think we should.
I have the as I call it, the pokey psyops. I have the clip
from Germany, because it's just been released there. And they're
all excited. I can imagine they are Pokemon Go. Game heladera.
Have you gotten addicted to it yet?
I haven't downloaded it yet rent but I might do, of course only
in the name of market research, of course. Very good. And only
scientifically, but social media here in Germany.
What's it What News outfit is this where we have to let you
Bella. Oh, so she had to disclaim that only for
scientific purposes. I'm not crazy like the rest of us, as
the
country became the first in Europe on Wednesday where fans
could download finally, Pokemon Go. While of course the games
quickly become one of the most viral mobile apps of all time,
topping the charts in the US. Now until now the game was only
available in the US Australia and New Zealand, making today's
German launch highly anticipated. But not everyone in
Europe was celebrating the arrival of the virtual reality
creatures take a watch.
Pokemon Go is blurring the line between the virtual world of
gaming and the real live world of public space. Augmented
Reality scavenger hunt is bringing people together in the
most unusual places than on an unlikely quest.
It's probably as close as you could get to play or catching a
Pokemon in real life that
actually gives you that experience. We walk Barclay
Center to Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday just to catch Pokemon.
Players download the app for free and combine special
features through the app to enhance their performance. GPS
chips are used to map a player's real life movements onto the
game world and the Pokemon characters appear through the
phone's camera. But while Pokemon fever spreads around the
world, people are finding out there may be some places where
searching for Pokemons are inappropriate.
How much longer is this?
They go they go.
The outfits Museum in Poland has asked the company to block
players while they visit the former Nazi death camp. Nazi
German death camp Auschwitz Birkenau is not only just a
museum today, it is above all a place of remembrance, a place
where people come not only to find out history, but they come
from moments of meditation, reflection because often for
prayer like see, it is inconceivable that we should
treat this place which has a place for games or do have fun.
I was banned from Arlington National Cemetery and the
Holocaust Museum in New York.
Well let's just talk about this for a moment before we had more
clips because I don't have any clips
that's all I got. Okay, got the Holocaust Museum was choice
now just give the background or that that's been circling around
Of course. The big conspiracy is that Niantic the second half of
the show. Yeah, but I'll just get out of the way. Now, the big
conspiracy is that Niantic Corp, which is a fully owned
subsidiary of a alphabet, I guess Google. And the guy who
founded that company and thus made the game for Nintendo. He
had previously created keyhole, which, of course, was funded by
in Q tel, which is CIA venture capital arm, then. So of course,
this is all a psyops to get everyone's information, which is
what all apps are these days to get everybody's information.
And they need more information. Yeah, I
mean, of course, they made a mistake. And if you logged
because their servers were overloaded, and if you logged in
through your Gmail account, it had access to everything. Hey,
does anyone have any illusion that there's that the alphabet
companies don't share information amongst each other.
And that's why, you know, certain warnings about what
permissions you are giving away didn't pop up. That's all. You
know, we know this is Google's Google does, then it's a
tremendous opportunity for Nintendo. I think it's a I think
it's great. And I think the end is definitely near. As you see,
people were congregating in places and just it's it's
zombies. It's complete zombification. And everybody was
ready for it. The kids were ready, not just kids ready for
it. They wanted this. And it makes me very happy because I
think we immediately show that virtual reality is not going to
take off the augmented reality of the games that are going to
going to really engage people and turn them into zombies.
Well, this game definitely did the job. It's engaged everybody.
Everybody who gets into his soul and try to get into the dice
you've ever used the word addicted mice, kids, one of them
you know, 30 year olds. Well, Jace 22 JC is 30 They're all
into this game to such an extreme where we had dinner.
That's all they talk about. Yeah, Chris talks about this.
What about that? How can you upgrade this I kind of make it
do that. How can I do this I kind of do that because there's
a lot of apparently little buy stuff right can buy stuff in the
game even though you have a day of void that gives the vortex
but
they're half the vortex clearly because it's the fact that
playing it at all is troublesome.
Yeah, that's a problem. But they know it's there's apparently a
lot of idiosyncratic things you can do if you know how to do
this if you know he turned you turn left and you turn to twist
that thing you turn it around you flip it there's all these
things you can do to get more points and all the rest of it
and our to turn it into something else which allows you
to do something more interesting. I don't have a clue
airline as well I just want overhearing this discussion as
though it's important
to know I think it's socially interesting. It's I've really
tried to figure out you know, what is going on with the
professional poker mind by itself is something that has
been bubbling under in in in culture for so long. My daughter
who's going to be 26 She of course played Pokemon when she
was in you know, in grade school, maybe even kindergarten.
So I understand why this is awesome book these like binary
you know, you get them ready in the beginning and then a couple
years later, you launch this.
I agree. And I think that does. J my daughter was a big Pokemon
player when she was a kid. I don't remember JC and I'm
absolutely sure Eric never played Pokemon. It was too much
of a kids game when it came up. But but this just did. This has
transcended Pokeyman to a higher age groups that never played the
game. I'm only half in agreement with that thesis.
I love the the the slew of articles coming out about how
Pokemon Go is has mental health benefits. Yeah. And I know the
reason why it has or why it is claimed to have a mental health
benefits is because walking around exercise by itself is
good against depression, just getting out and being amongst
people that I'd say that's reasonably provable. But then
you see people saying, oh, you know, I have borderline
disorder, depression, anxiety. This really helped me get out of
the house. As someone with anxiety and depression the fact
that I spend most of this weekend outside with friends is
unreal hashtag PokemonGo who but it's a it's a very, very sad
statement from where we're at in our right now.
Well, yes, it is. But even so, I mean, there's other way I don't
know where this is going to lead. I think our notes lead to
people getting killed on the road, people stopped their car
on the freeway because there's a poker mind and standing on the
highway for some stupid reason why they're looking at their
phone while they're driving is another thing due to legal I
just find it it's a very weird phenomenon I see it more as Mimi
sees it as like a pet rock phenomenon.
Of course, it augmented reality, which I've been touting for at
least five or six years. And that's really what's
interesting. And we certainly have a couple of apps, like
flight radar, we can point it at the sky. And you could do the
same with your, you know, look at the constellation LIDAR eyes.
And
I love the idea of what Microsoft was up to with his
latest iteration of some goggles of some show with things where
you'd be in your own house, and you'd be wearing these things.
And then some monsters come through the wall and try to kill
you. I thought that was kind of a unique idea. And this is, of
course, is something of a lesser version of that, because this is
augmented reality. You got it. You got a little pokey man
standing in the road there. What's more, so what do you
think the best augmented reality was really documented in, in the
book, Damon, and I think that's, that would be that would be the
step that we'd be looking forward to is where you have
your well let's just forget goggles and all this and Google
Glass but you just hold up your your phone, you look at a crowd
of people, and above the people pops up a little, little balloon
that says you know who this person is, you know, what their
status is maybe in the game or whatever, or just social status
or there's a number of things that I this is the path forward
for the technology industry, not virtual reality that's my that's
really the takeaway from this is look at the excitement look at
how people are so into this good, bad or indifferent, versus
virtual reality. It was like it's kinda it's kind of cool,
kind of go to bed.
So a lot of people also get sick from virtual reality. But
there's really too much illness, it's caused by those losses. Is
that's too high a numbers like 10% of the population or some,
there's a lot of people that get either seasick or, or they get
headaches or things happen from wearing virtual reality gear.
Well, we definitely need a no agenda version of this. Where
you know, you you look at people and little tag pops up for their
douchebag or not, that'd be good. Just Hey, look at that go
over there. Okay, well, of course, we could do an augmented
audio reality when I think about it. How's that work? I don't
know yet. But it just popped into my head, I can see where
you're listening on your, on your headphones, and you're
hearing different sounds mixed in with what's really, I don't
know, there's a lot to this, but what can
we conclude from this? I don't, I find it annoying.
But what we can conclude is that people are slaves to their
device. And you can get them to do almost anything, go almost
anywhere and spend money. I mean, that's kind of the whole
thing behind Oh, go to this location that you need to buy
Luers or whatever the things are, and then you know, then you
can bring the pokemons out to kill them. And I haven't played
the game haven't loaded up
pokemons out to kill my killer Pokemons.
But it's, yeah, it I think this is a real phenomenon I think is
going to is a game changer for the technology industry. Anytime
that the number one app today is Snapchat and people what do
people love about its augmented reality? Because you're putting
mustaches on you you're making your face go crazy. Anything but
actual reality. There's your takeaway.
Ah, okay. I think you brought to snap. I think you saved a bit
there. Snapchat. It's true. It's true. Because Snapchat, that's
all it is. And it does make myself look like a dog. You
know, so why.
And of course, there's tons of revenue for this. So this is
it's it's great. It's great. It keeps people very busy.
So they don't notice that they're in a depression. Yeah.
Or
you know that there's a Yes, exactly. It's escapism it's the
Michelle
is a get me I've kind of amused by it because being one myself
in this case is dumb.
Pretty much it.
Is dumb is dumb.
Is and it is by the way,
I think well, now we can transition Thank goodness. into
old fogies and technology Bill Maher was on Larry O'Donnell
Show.
Lawrence O'Donnell.
Lawrence, is it not Larry is Lawrence. Yeah, it's Lawrence
Lawrence. Lawrence. readjustment Mike Lawrence O'Donnell. And he
was taught it he had a lot to say. Most of it incredibly
bullcrap. And, of course, he being a good ol bot, he needs to
really explain to the people on MSNBC that Hillary men no harm
with her email. It was but the way he explained it was rather
rather interesting.
Look, it's a hard thing to for her I think is anybody who
explained the fact of why you're not credible with people when
you're running for president.
But it also is true that she has been demonized more than anybody
else for the last entire quarter century.
Really, more than anyone,
I guess, as far as the emails go, I think mostly what that is,
is an elderly person. And again, we're not bashing the elderly
here, right to run for reelection. But as far as
technology goes, they're not great at it. I'm not great at
it. So I think she probably just didn't understand that much.
What you think that's the reason? The important thing is
what was
the Lawrence O'Donnell? That's your buddy, Chris?
Oh, Chris Matthews. I'm sorry. Yeah. Chris Matthews, Lawrence
O'Donnell. Yes, my buddy. Thanks. But that's the reason.
I think the important thing is what was the intent with the
email was was the intent, something nefarious? Of course,
it was, in fact, the people in the State Department used a
private server because the government server was
You gotta listen to what he's saying before he before you jump
all over, just listen to what he's saying. 15. Second, the
State Department used a private server because the government
server wasn't efficient. She needed a private server to get
her work done. Because Democrats do work, government work, they
don't hate the government, they actually want to get it done.
She's a wonk who needed something that work was pretty
good.
It's fantastic. Then, this little,
he has his moments of insight, and then he just falls back into
whatever Oh, knee jerk programming.
This, this was all knee jerk programming. Here's another one.
Just I sat there. And he and I were watching this. It's a whole
he was on for the whole show. And our mouths would just open
with the bull crap he was spewing. If you look at all
the issues that animate the right wing emails, Benghazi,
voter fraud, Planned Parenthood, building a wall, who can go to
the bathroom where what did they all have in common? They're
imaginary. They're not real. They don't affect anybody's
lives. They're not actual issues. Know that
the Ted Stevens?
Benghazi wasn't real. No, it didn't happen at all.
No, it was imaginary. But this really is.
Because you know, nobody heard Comey I guess it's all day no
indictment. Move on was nothing wrong. It's a little too early
for me to throw the view at you. I think that might hurt a little
too much.
We can use it I get us.
Okay, slap in the face. Come on standby. A Problem
is though, that she lied. So whether or not she got indicted
from
the Republican girl on the view isn't always one Republican girl
was always
one Republican girl. This is or where did she
said I did not receive any classified material?
Do you hear up in the back that she knew that? She knew? No,
that's not what she said. That's what she says now.
And not only that, but there was a number of there are at least
three or four items that actually had rolled on we'll get
to that we'll get to that said I did not send or receive any
classified material
that she knew.
But she also said that I did actually intent is not written
into title 18 intent is written into title 18. Now, because it's
Hillary Clinton, crime, it doesn't have to be an issue for
me. She provided all of her work related emails, but the FBI
discovered several 1000 work related emails, well, we're not
knocking those down. So she didn't provide them because like
other email users, she deleted them. So they found stuff that
she had already deleted like a year before. That's what
they're, that's what makes this so crazy. Because the what I
understand is that these emails are not necessarily classified
until after someone is sent that
sometimes what Comey said was that sometimes, which is what
I've been saying for a long time, sometimes it's born
classified. And what that means is that it's classified based on
content. The issue is as Secretary of State, Hillary
Clinton, she's a smart woman, I think she's capable should have
known that by content, that stuff should not have been
transmitted over a private server that had very limited
that it wasn't class. I think, this is the this is the problem.
She shouldn't. But if she even if she says, Listen, to me, this
isn't classified because ABC. That's I mean, if you're the
Secretary of State, but here's the problem. They've classified
so many things. They they all of it is bang, they say, well, she
might have gotten some and she might have sense, which is it?
Did she What did she get? She did she
was shocking to me. Is that this this FBI director is a
Republican. He was appointed by President Bush he W. W. Bush, he
was, you know, confirmed I know Only three to one. I mean, this
is a guy that Republicans he was
what he was put put in by Obama.
This is a guy that Republicans should trust. And he said there
is no issue here actually, there ain't no case here.
So first of all will be was in the in there saying, but where
did she lie baby? What did she lie baby? I mean, none of these
people apparently really looked at anything. No,
no getting it from that they're getting it from the whatever the
knee jerk press is telling them or, or I don't even know if
they're read that they get I have no idea. I think they just
talk amongst themselves. It's beyond me.
So Loretta Lynch was questioned on the hill. Actually, I'm not I
may play that later. It's all boring. It really
was just a little revolutionary was just a throwaway. Well, I
think there was just a do we have to do that. Let's actually
well actually,
this was a little different. This was a good good lattes.
That's how you pronounce his name. from Virginia, I
don't know dude,
late Good, good la tea.
I think good latte is the way I read it. Secretary London stated
that she never says the Judiciary Committee was sent or
received information marked as classified on her server.
Director Comey stated that was not true. Do you agree with
Director Comey,
Director Comey has chosen to provide great detail into the
basis for his recommendations that were ultimately provided to
me. He's chosen to provide detailed statements. And I would
refer you to those statements. I as attorney general, I'm not
able to provide any further comment on the facts or the
substance of the investigation. That's really
odd. That was great. But for her to say that she cannot provide
any further information to the the Judiciary Committees. That
seems odd to me. Isn't she exactly the one who could
provide more information?
I have no idea what the mechanism is. Try it again.
Well, General Lynch, I think you would agree that the ultimate
responsibility for a prosecutorial decision does not
rest with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but with the
Department of Justice, which you head. Have you not taken a close
look at the work done by Director Comey, especially given
the extreme national interest in this issue, to make a
determination yourself whether you and those working for you
agree or disagree with Director Comey?
Is that vindicated? I received the recommendation of the team.
And that team was keen our prosecutors and his whole team
thing. That it's the team that it was a team decision the team
stood behind
us the word experienced prosecutors are some of the
career career career area career Yeah,
Connect team was composed of prosecutors and agents was a
unanimous recommendation as to how to resolve the
investigation. What the inadequate to the information
that they had received. Do you agree with the conclusion? And I
accepted that recommendation? I saw no reason not to accept it.
And again, I reiterate my pride and faith in their work.
Secretary Clinton did and he asked a different question. Oh,
do you agree I agree and accept is two different things.
She doesn't it gets. He turns.
I'm sorry. Believe me. This is classic, beautiful obfuscation
bureaucratic answers. This is This is top drawer. She
obviously has been well trained. This is
know what this is, is the most transparent administration in
history. That's what this is right here.
stated that she did not email any classified material and
Director Comey stated there was classified material emailed. Do
you agree with Director Comey is conclusion about that?
Again, that would have to refer you to Director Comey statements
for the basis take the fifth for his recommendation,
Director Comey stated that there is evidence of potential
violations of the statutes regarding the handling of
classified information. Do you agree with Director Comey
statement?
Again, I would refer you to Director Comey for any further
explanation as to the basis for his recommendations. The
recommendation that I received from the team, including
Director Comey investigation, be reasonable in
our charges, Director Comey made a recommendation but he made a
recommendation to the Department of Justice, which you had. And
you would have to come to the final conclusion on whether or
not to act. I would presume that before you acted, you would look
at his conclusions and determine whether you agreed with them or
not.
The question you should have asked is did you make the
decision to not indict him? She's really making sound like
it was all Comey Comey Comey.
As I've indicated, I received a briefing from the team, which
included not just the prosecutors but the agents and
Director Comey. Their unanimous recommendation was that the
matter be resolved in the way in which we've announced and I
accepted that recommendation.
Let me ask you one final question does not regard the
specific facts with regard to Secretary Clinton. But Director
Comey said that there was not clear evidence that Secretary
Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws
governing The handling of classified information. My
question for you is, is intent to violate the law a requirement
under 18 USC Section 793 F.
Now this is a question. She, as Attorney General should just
answer factually. Just say, here's what the law states and
here's what if if someone if the case adheres to all these
points, then yes, but no. Well, Congressman,
I think the statutes that were considered here speak for
themselves, to answer further would require a discussion of
the facts. And the analysis of this matter, let's not have that
which as I've indicated, I'm not in position to provide at this
time, again, I'd prefer you to direct your colonies discussion
for that, as I've indicated, the team reviewed this matter, and
it was a unanimous team decision,
what is this team bullshit all of a sudden?
I mean, wondering about that myself. And
she keeps saying, by the way, the team has all had to sign non
disclosure documents. So I think there were other non FBI people
there who may not have been under the already existing oath
of of their function. So when you say team team, you know, she
said, Yeah, career politicians, and you know, just team that
tilth team thing
is irksome. And you made a decision following their
recommendation to you that you were not going to prosecute in
the matter was closed, is that correct?
I made the decision some time ago that I would accept the
recommendation of that team, and was awaiting that recommendation
when I received it. There was no basis not to accept it. And
again, I reiterate my pride and faith in them for
pride and faith in them.
Just pride and faith, pride.
And again, pride, pride and
faith, my pride and pride together have to do with it.
It was probably the team is probably gay guys and pastors, I
don't know pride and faith. Who knows?
Well, thank you, I appreciate your faith in them. The concern
here is regard to your sworn oath to uphold the United States
Constitution and the laws they're under, including 18 USC
Section 793 F and 18 USC Section 1920. And to conclude that no
prosecution would take place without examining and drawing
conclusions regarding the questions that I've just asked,
does not seem to be a responsible way to uphold your
constitutionally sworn oath.
The I like that.
Okay, I gave her gave a little lecture, put her
on notice, I'd
say hey, he'll be audited next week, you
took the oath, you know, you took the oath. There was an
indictment, which is severely underreported of one of the
super delegates for the Democrats, Florida, Democrat,
Congresswoman Corrine Brown, who was indicted, I think, on 2426
counts of fraud, basically using a slush fund for her own
personal benefit. And of course, she's a super delegates, so
we're not going to talk about that too much. But the report
something very interesting. The work I've done speak
for me,
normally outspoken Congresswoman Brown had little to say as she
emerged from court today,
my heart is just really heavy. This has been a very difficult
time for me,
brown or chief of staff are accused of using a bogus charity
as a political slush fund. Earlier this year nine
investigates raised questions about Browns charity, one door
for education. The feds in the indictment say one door serve as
a revolving door. cash donations solicited by Congresswoman Brown
would flow in and cash withdrawals from a DC area ATMs
would flow out and into personal accounts belonging to brown and
her chief of staff here. Also say Browns Chief of Staff set up
a family member with a no show job and browns congressional
office paying that family member three quarters of a million
dollars over 15 years. Today, Brown said if the Department of
Justice had spent more time investigating terrorism instead
of her, the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting would still
be alive.
These are the same agents that was not able to do a thorough
investigation of the agent and we ended up with 50 people a day
because the agents were too busy investigating her they couldn't
investigate the agent in Orlando and 50 people wound up dead
whoa
wow that's a defense.
Also what agent was she saying the shooter in Orlando was an
agent or what exactly is she saying?
I don't know play that clip again that last part but she
bitching about
just dumped it all right.
Where was it now? Here we go.
Let me see if I can fast
the work I've done speak for me
the normally outspoken congressman.
I gotta forward fast forward to the end and is not working?
Forget it. Yeah. But now what she said is very clear. It was
the same agents who are investigating her wasting their
time apparently. If they had been spending the time
investigating the agent in Orlando than 50, people wouldn't
be dead. I'm not quite sure what she means, but it should be up
more. This is ridiculous. I would love to hear more about
that. For sure. As well as
like the other one that just suppressed stories. The guy that
gunned down in the streets outside of you know, this DNC,
yeah, computer guy. Yeah. I have this guy's name. What's his
name? Seth Conrad Rich, I have a report. Oh, good play.
That was about 419. In the morning, Seth Rich was on his
way home. He was talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone. In
fact, she said she heard some noise in the background. She
asked if he was all right. He said, Don't worry, I'll be home
soon. You see, he only lives about a block and a half away.
But Seth Rich, he never made it home. He was jumped, pushed to
the ground and shot twice in the back. Today, I talked to his mom
by phone, they
took his life for literally no reason. It didn't finish
routing, they just took his life. And they hurt the
community. They hurt, they hurt the long term possibility of
what he could have done.
So what is being said here is because his knees were scraped,
and his hands were scraped that he was not robbed of his
possessions that it was a robbery gone wrong. And they
shot him in and shot him in the back or the head. What I read
is, that's execution style.
The robbery gone bad,
you're on your knees and boom, boom, to to the head, right in
the back of the head in DC, where you can't just go walking
around with guns or buy guns that easily or have
get some of the strictest gun laws to see. And of course,
there you have it, then but he
wasn't he was in charge of data analysis, I think for the data
analysis
and voter. He also has something to do with increasing the voter
turnout or some there's some voter angle and people think he
may be stumbled onto some vote rigging such system or he's part
of a vote rigging system. He wouldn't play the game, he
wouldn't play ball. And they killed him. I mean, that's
actually what I think I
think you're right, it seems very obvious.
Then, and I only say that, because there was a number of
reports out about exit polls versus reality. And there were a
number of anomalous states that we have to look into this again,
because this is going to happen with Hillary, she's got a bunch
of states rigged. And the Democrats are known for this.
That's how Kennedy got into office in Illinois will be one
in Illinois, because the votes were rigged by the mob
and give us the backstory on that.
Well, Kennedy was not going to beat Nixon in that 1960
election. And he they there was a deal that was done with the
daily guys and there was a was just a Illinois was thrown for
Kennedy just enough to get him over the top so he can win the
election. And that's a well known thing that hooked up
Kennedy when McCain had some obligation to the mob that had
fixed Illinois votes for him.
Well, then how come? How come Trump can't do the same? He's
got the same mob guys behind him.
I don't know that Trump can't do the same. Okay. We don't have a
clue whether Trump can do the same or not. might build he
might be better at it than Hillary. But we know Hillary has
been doing it in certain states and she's shouldn't have won and
or a state like New York where there's a whole bunch of votes
that disappeared. Or a state like California where Bernie
should have won it didn't. So this is this whole thing is out
of control.
Yeah, yeah. As is yes.
And when we don't know what you were Trump is on this. We don't
know if he even knows about it. Or I mean, he seems isolated in
some ways, but then again, if he's mobbed up which is
suspected, yeah, then he which makes nothing but sense anyone
who's deaf has a logical thought anyone who knows
real estate in New York City in New York City Manhattan Hello
you you might suspect that he does have some some mechanisms
that could counter the Hillary mechanisms which I think are in
existence and then then we got this dead guy
also with this dead guy does that mean that it could also
mean that they don't have their guy to who who pulls the levers
anymore? That's all I don't think
he was the guy that he but I just don't think it was the guy
27 This has been going on for years. There's got to be some
somebody else he I think he may either stumble on something
wouldn't play ball. He was brought in to do the job. He
wouldn't do it. I have no idea what's gonna blow the whistle.
We don't know. He's dead.
Then, of course, something fantastic happened, which, as
far as I know, hasn't really happened this way when Supreme
Court Justice ruled against Berg came out and talked about jobs.
Donald Trump being fake and he does. CBS report. I was hoping
you had a background or which one is that?
Well, it's Yeah, I think there's I think I got two. Okay. Yeah.
ABC report. I seen ABC report. Yeah. play that. Now to Donald
Trump tonight demanding an apology this evening from
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, after what she said
about him. ABCs Tommy on this on the Trump campaign.
Tonight, Donald Trump in a supreme fight with Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, after she told the New York Times, quote, I
can't imagine what this place would be. I can't imagine what
the country would be with Donald Trump as our president. She
didn't stop there telling CNN, he is a faker. He has no
consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at
the moment, he really has an ego. How has he gotten away with
not turning over his tax returns?
But what is she talking about? It's not it's not a requirement.
It's very odd. Her
comments and unprecedented attack by a Supreme Court
justice in the modern era on a presidential candidate Trump
calling it a disgrace, and highly inappropriate, adding, I
would hope she would get off the court as soon as possible. The
grapple with Ginsburg comes as Trump prepares to announce his
running mate. Tonight. He's in Indiana with the state's
Governor Mike Pence, who's on the shortlist. They've disagreed
in the past, but when I asked Pence about it, he insisted he
could still serve Trump.
The the tweet that Trump sent out that I liked the most was
not in that report. I could have read it myself. I think it's
funnier when someone on on the network.
It was only that what you're talking about. She's lost her
mind? No, no. And
from getting even more critical this morning sending out this
tweet here it is. He writes, Justice Ginsburg of the US
Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb
political statements about me, her mind is shot resides shot
that's it. sharp mind is shot. And I love that.
That is the only one I didn't know that the Yamas did that.
But I know. AMY GOODMAN played that one. And then Amy Goodman
took it find another one. I didn't clip it because the clip
was ruined by over modulation. No, to be technical. No, she
said another one she said and she says Ginsburg also made this
Congress none of the news networks play which is all I
know is that the next president will she will do blah, blah,
blah indicates Hillary watches
I saw this morning that news blurb came in that she
apparently regrets what she said.
I think her mind is shot.
I agree. It she said Oh,
she's so old on there.
Hold on a second. First of all, 83 isn't so old. You know I
Lehrer the old guy who did the Archie Bunker show whatever was
called up all in the family. He was on the other night on one of
the she's 92 Very area days. 92 fine. She is like the deer in
the headlights. She's very frail. I just think and I never
thought she was that bright to begin with. And,
and I will point out she's had a lot of work done on her face.
No, yes. Yeah. I'll had a long conversation the other night
about this idea that you know, Botox in the forehead, but oh,
yeah, definitely has had worked out her name was Kiki. Oh,
really? Yeah, she's
actually Kiki. Kiki. Yeah. I know that from one of her good
friends.
Well, do we play the second half of your report here?
The second half is mostly about pants and Trump's VP pick, you
really got to pay to play it. It's an optional. Well, you
sounded like you weren't for it. I wanted to go into some of the
responses. Oh, yeah. No, stick with this. And I think that, you
know, quite fairly, even the Clinton news network with our
friend TOOBIN, who was usually a douche knuckle he was I think it
was on the money.
Is there any chance that she would resign?
No, I don't think there's any chance she will resign. But I
think it's appropriate to criticize her about this. This
is not how Supreme Court justices have talked
traditionally, they do not get involved in day to day political
controversies. They do not endorse or UNendorsed
candidates. And I think there are lots of good reasons for
that, not least of which is something involving the election
may come before the Supreme Court in a bush V Gore type
case. And I think she'd have to recuse herself at this point. I
just think as someone who was a great admirer of Justice
Ginsburg, she's completely wrong in this situation, and she
should not be making these sorts of political. There is no
official code of conduct. There you go. That's I agree with
this. There's no official code. A candidate. I think these guys
should say whatever they feel like saying, I'm completely on
the other side, I haven't made this decision lightly. I think
she could say whatever she wants, and if she wants to show
ourselves as some sort of a bigot, a pro hillary supporter,
she has every right to do that. And so they're all the other
justices. They're talking about
making that, of course, that would never pass muster,
certainly on the Supreme Court, you know, state, stifling them
of free speech. But yeah, it was it was the guy who was being
mouthing off to the president to President Obama during one of
his State of the State of the Union speeches,
which Congressman yelled, like,
oh, no, no, I one of the Supreme Court justices was like mouthing
something like a douche bag or something?
Oh, it was I think it was Kennedy. It was I don't remember
which one, but there was somebody that were down in front
of him was Kennedy, he was criticizing the Supreme Court.
So one of them turned over to talk to you there was this. This
guy's full of shit I didn't even showed up at the next event.
So So okay, so you think there's Walden they all should come out
and say something, but no, I don't if they don't want to?
They don't have to? Is there not some kind of isn't? There's no
code for judges?
No, and you can't fire him? No, I know. You can't recall them.
You can.
Can you impeach a Supreme Court justice?
No, not that I know of I don't think there's any mechanism. Mm
hmm. I think the other court members can censor the bad
actor, but I don't. But that would just be internal. I don't
think there's anybody can do anything. I think they're just
they're stuck in there. And if they want to mouth off and say,
I think Hillary is great, because she's a woman, which is
pretty much what this Ginsburg person thinks. I think she has
every right in the world to call out. Trump as a douchebag.
I believe that she really helped Trump with this. I think she
really helped him because most even even you know, oh, bots
here on CNN. And while she shouldn't have done that, that's
no good. I'm actually
stunned. Even Harry Reid came out and said, I'm not gonna
comment on this. He no one will defend her. I'm defending her.
And I don't like her. I'll defend her. I think she just say
whatever she wants, what difference does it make? And why
is everybody all worked up about it?
Because it's good for Trump. That's probably that's why
they're all worked up about it. It's good for Trump's probably
come on, he had the line of the week. Her mind shine does shot
Come on. Dynamite. That's really smart.
I really enjoyed that.
Anyway, so we had just tons and tons of town halls. But to have
a commerce track shot to, to solve everything in the world
solve all of our problems. And I watched two of them very
painful. I've actually I'll start with the MTV BT townhall,
which I found to be much better than than than any others. The
language was very frank. And it was also endorsed by the
administration here. So this is, so they did a combo deal MTV and
Black Entertainment Television owned by MTV Networks. So it's
all the same company live show. They had a pretty good mix of
millennials there. And, of course, our Attorney General
called in to the show to make sure that everyone knows it's an
official townhall joining us
right now by phone as Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who has a
message for everybody watching.
Well, thank you so much. Thank you so much crew, it is such a
pleasure and honor to join you. Let me thank MTZ let me thank
the team for hosting this forum. But but most importantly, let me
thank everyone who is tuning in, this is the conversation that we
have to have. And you are the group that we have to have this
conversation with because you are the ones who are going to
carry this torch.
Okay, so an endorsement there from the Attorney General and a
number of interviews, I pulled out a couple of short quotes or
clips. This is Pusha T Pusha. T. Who doesn't know rapstar
extraordinaire,
not seeing when to stop and I don't think it's going to stop
until we find someone to actually police the police.
Like fancy style, basically.
I mean, I'm not even saying that I mean, whatever style. I mean,
it's a free for all and obviously just doing whatever
they like that blue wall of silence. We got to take that
blue. All right. I feel like that, that that that alone makes
the police, you know, makes them untrustworthy. It makes it makes
the police again.
So this conversation that everyone was having was no more
than this for hours and hours. angry people angry people go
let's hug and well had said we need to start the conversation.
It was really not a single time was able to count anyone saying
my country, our country. I think we would do Very well if we all
started by, stop calling it this country. I know but I'm just I
know that it's weird that I'm stumbling over this but I think
really it's really would be a good start if we all took
ownership of our country and said there's like some inanimate
object over there to this country, this country, this
country really irks me as you can tell. Yeah. Okay, so here's
another African American Millennials going
on in our, in our, in our community in our society. And
you see people getting so riled up about the loss of lives of
dogs and gorillas, and then they hunt us down like dogs and
gorillas and, and nobody wants to say anything. Nobody can
stand gorillas.
Well, I understand what he's saying that the the outrage over
a gorilla being shot to death is so much larger according to this
particular millennial. Then, black youths being shot by the
police. Yeah, you know, if or if someone's dog gets killed
because the cops are issuing a certain
killed too many dogs. That's a real problem. Yeah,
sure. Of course, they had some white kids in there we go help
us
understand what white privilege is with a whole bunch of white
folks say, I ain't got no, I'm poor from the south. You know,
I'm struggling, I ain't got no privilege. What do you say to
those? Well,
I think that I understand where they're coming from. I think
that that the term white privilege has kind of been
twisted in all sorts of ways. And I get that. But at the end
of the day, there are so many ways in which this country was
founded to benefit a very specific group of people, white
people, white people, to white straight Christian men, right.
And if I can't be honest about the fact that I fall into many
of those categories, that doesn't make me a bad person, I
was not responsible for that. But I have to realize the way in
which the system is going to treat me very differently.
I was gonna say, the How does anyone here know that it was
only for white straight Christian men? I'm pretty sure
that, you know, Ben Franklin, you know, swung back and forth
between teams
right then but but who knows for a fact that dead dead Buchanan,
a president, the one that preceded Lincoln, was gay and
live with a guy in the white house. Oh, I didn't know the
first gay president. Nobody talks about who was that elect a
gay president elect a gay pres you had one
who was in it? You can?
Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, totally gay.
Oh. And known by everybody's being gay or you know, they
never talked about that much the way they I mean, cashes clay the
guy was talking about as the cannon in his front yard. His
daughter was his daughter's sister, I think Oh, not to stop
and look it up. But I think it was his sister. His daughter was
incredibly Major League lesbian, huge lesbian if you saw she's a
little petite woman she's about four nine everyone's short back
then it ended up by the Ruby but they she was a lesbian big time
she was a woman's rights person and the whole thing it was just
there's a bunch of that going on so what nobody gave as much of a
crap about it as they do today. But yes, Buchanan gay right.
But But to say that the country this this country was built only
to serve the white straight Christian men is just it's
bullshit. bigotry,
it's bigotry. They hate whitey.
Well, this is white hate. Here's a white
girl. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think it's really terrifying
to look at what's happening right now. And I think, you
know, maybe I have some part in this not as an individual, of
course, but as a system of whiteness. There it is conferred
privileges to me and my family for generations, to sort of look
at that to look at what's happening and think, you know,
what am I supposed to do? That's terrifying. But it's great that
there's a lot of resources for young white people who are
trying to figure out what to do. Yeah, these
resources are a resource for white self loathing white to
carry over from the liberal self loathing Jew. Well, it is not an
outrageous phenomenon. It's It's just annoying as hell there is.
I don't know if you saw the white boy privilege slam poetry
piece, which, you know, I talked about where
it was just some kid you know, and I looked at the kids is this
kid actually white, he looked like a Latino, Italian.
That's one other thing. Now, when I get to Don lemons thing,
I'll talk about it but we could just for a second go off for one
second here and
wait, you're gonna talk about how Latinos are white, one
situation and then they're not in another situation where we
need to use the racist label.
Yeah, we'll do that in a moment. Okay, that was that's a big one.
Yeah, I want to start first with this. With this white boy, let
me see. I have a couple of clips because it was everywhere. It
really kind of exploded. It had some PR behind it. I'm not sure.
Oh, definitely had some PR behind it. Let me see the first
clip I have okay, this is CBS. Here we go.
White Boy privilege was an entry in a school poetry contest. To
be honest,
I'm scared of what it would be like if I wasn't on the top rung
if the tables were turned, and I didn't have my white boy
privilege safety blanket to
protect me. Royce man's message was a plea from a 14 year old
white male going to a private school in Atlanta, let everyone
share his privileges, this time to
be truthful, about like, how I wouldn't trade places with
somebody, and that I think a lot of people sometimes aren't so
truthful about that.
I have the full poetry slam this kid did, which is interesting to
listen to its entirety. We could listen to it later if you want.
But he was interviewed on CNN and this kind of revealed, where
all of this is coming from
when did the idea come? You're going to tackle that
terminology, white boy privilege? How long has this
message been Stern.
I knew about white privilege and male privilege for most of my
life. But I never realized how prevalent it was in our society,
until this year, when I went to a new school called the Pi Day
School. And we take a class called race, class and gender.
This, I think, is where we need to go looking. But there you go
race, class, and gender, this is being taught in school, being
taught that white privilege is real. And we have to
continuously do something about that. I think it's one thing to
say racism is real, we need to do something about it. But to
turn that around and say white privilege is real. It's
disturbing to me.
And that really made me a lot more aware of the privileges
that I have, that other people don't often have many other
people don't have. There are definitely some people who do
deny that white privilege and male privilege exist. And I
think that's because they choose to not see it in our world. They
choose to see the progress that we have made. And a lot of kids
they learn these days when they're learning about the Civil
Rights Movement, for example, it's sort of put into their
heads that now we're all equal. And there's so much so much
progress has been made. But there's still a long way.
Your audience kid is clearly a robot. Yes, great.
They really nailed them. They found the right kid, brainwashed
him, he's got this spiel, he's gonna, he's dynamite.
He's an eighth grader, he speaks very astutely for an eighth
grader. But this race, class and gender, I'd really like to know
more about what is being taught racism, sure. All kinds of
racism, all the will all kinds of problems. But we're we're
teaching our kids that it's their fault because of their
privilege. I do take issue with that. Back to the MTV ve T Town
Hall, this is the best i i really love this clip for a
number of reasons. So we've had the we've had a number of black
kids, we've had the white boy, the white girl, and now we have
a black transgendered. We
are at war with the police. But it's not a war that we're going
to win with guns or violence. It's a war that we have to fight
with love. The reality is that many other freedom fighters who
we look up to today, Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner, they
would have been considered terrorists. And so when we take
a look at what's going on, now, more than ever, we have to
recognize that these issues are interconnected. I went down to
Orlando to get information as Beyonce says, But what they're
not telling us is that the police killed the majority of
the people at post that night while trying to enter into the
club. And it's the same thing we were fighting against the 1969
and Stonewall. So Black Lives Matter has three points. We need
to defund demilitarized and disarm the police. All right.
Well, I love the brought the thing in that we brought up on
our show nobody else has discussed, which is the cops
killed everybody. Which is the only thing it makes logical
sense if you follow the timeline and listen to the barrage of
bullets that they fired, which we had on the show. And then he
talks about demilitarizing the police which is a huge problem.
So we had an incident local. I think it was in Calistoga or so
was some I tweeted I could sell some it was some small podunk
town somewhere on the West Coast. And they there was some
manhunt for some guy who had robbed a bank or something. And
they brought out all his army gear just short of a of a of a
tank. Yeah, but they had this big I don't even know what the
hell it was was like a fort. It was just a big metal looking
thing with a with a big dish on the top of it. And a bunch of
guys hanging off it was in camouflage. And this was in some
little town just trying to track some some minor criminal down
and washes the news like holy crap. What to talk about
overkill? Yeah, and that's I think he's dead on about
demilitarizing the police these guys, mu US government, thanks
to Obama and Bush, to a lesser extent, have given all this gear
to these local police least departments and you can't say it
enough to they've got to be it's got to be taken away from them
demilitarize
completely. I don't think disarming is a good idea but
demilitarized this
army is no good, although the police were never armed in the
early days, but I would be remiss not in England.
I'd be remiss in this segment, if we didn't play a bit about
the Harvard study, the Harvard study that God that flies in the
face of all the so called facts that have been propagated on
just in, in general in the media in general, cops kill Black
people, cops kill Black people, cops kill Black people. Here's
MSNBC, this is the British reporter who think she does
stuff in the morning, the study
focused on more than 1300 shootings fatal and non fatal in
10 police departments in Texas, Florida and California. The New
York Times reports, quote, in shootings in these 10 cities
involving officers, officers were more likely to find their
weapons without having first been attacked when the suspects
were white. The study was conducted by Roland Fryer, the
youngest African African American to receive tenure at
Harvard, who called it the most surprising result of his career.
Okay, so that's a Harvard study. And we heard exactly what's in
it. And here's how the panel on MSNBC responded to this.
Surprise me answer study that I'd love to see replicated. This
is
the guy Eugene, I guess from Washington Post.
I'd love to see replicated I'd love to see some, you know, some
back up because frankly, a lot of people find will find it hard
to believe and I find it hard to hard to comport with the reality
that we see
that we see on television, not necessarily reality is the
reality you see on television.
If you look qualitatively at these incidents that we have
seen over the last few
FAAC, does that mean quite? If you look at it qualitatively,
what does that mean?
John? Well, it means that the level of quality is what it
refers to.
So he's saying the Harvard the Harvard study by a black grad
student is
that would actually be a highly qualitative study. Because it's
a quality study, we think, although he's questioning it, or
something, I don't know why he's using that word.
These incidents that we have seen over the last few years,
it's difficult to find parallel situations in which white
suspects have been killed.
One of the issues about that study, first of all, I got a
headache.
I can't say it's given them headaches job they cannot. When
when facts are presented, in fact, they get a headache from
it. I can't handle it. This can't be true. Twice as bricks
have been killed.
One of the issues about this study, first of all, I got a
headache reading it. I had trouble following it. Yeah,
actually. One of the problems with studies like that is it
takes our eye off the ball. Yeah, I mean, for the studies
instead of the reality.
So reality in this case, yeah. Oh, that's great. Do I get
anything
for that? Ah, well, wait,
hold on a second. I know you were setting
it up. And oh, no, no, no, no, it wasn't I just realized how
good that deliberately was. That clip is
good. Give me Give yourself a clip of that. Clip. When we look
at the he so he uses reality as television, yes,
this is now this is the point that we need to make the
Democratic Party and we were thinking was going to be women.
That's how they were going to destroy destroy the Republican
Party. But they did something much better, and turn it into
race. And we've seen this this entire election cycle we've seen
Republicans are racist, Donald Trump is racist, Republicans are
racist, Republicans are racist. And that is exactly why the
reality for people is that more black people are killed, hunted
down for sport by the police. That is exactly what has
happened to that one, by the way. But that is a
big data base for export of a playlist. I think this is a
blunder. If you are if you're saying what I think you're
saying,
Hold on one sec. Hold on one sec. So let's listen to let's
just go back briefly to Bill Maher. And again, I'm quite
convinced the Democrats wanted to destroy the Republican Party.
They figured out race was the way to go and just listen to
Bill Maher. I know they hate to hear that's the one thing who by
the way, gave a million dollars for Obama's reelect. I hate
to hear and I would never say that all Republicans are racist.
But if you are a racist, and you're looking for a political
party, this is the obvious
mousetrap at least right here.
And it's not just Trump. I mean, if you watch the Republican
debates, they all follow this script of restore America. I
want my country back. It's It's subtle, but it's not even that
subtle. They talk about Obama and his presidency as if it just
never even existed. To me, there's something racist there.
They say things like, we got to put America back to work. Yeah,
did that that actually happened? We put America back we got to
rebuild are depleted.
What planet is he? So this is this is number one. So he
clearly believes the unemployment numbers are true,
and that everyone's back at work, and there should be no
problem. Thanks, Obama. Yes, yeah.
That actually happened. We put America back. We've got to
rebuild our depleted military. We didn't deplete the military.
It went up under Obama, like it went up under every
breaststroke.
You know, Mike, my explanation for birtherism if there is one
is that he's playing to people who want to believe that somehow
you can put an asterisk next to it
exactly. You notice that? Matthews here, pivots from
Meijer talking about the Republican Party, and then he
pivots into he pivots it right into Trump.
Next Door. Exactly. And he wasn't really when you look of
color pictures of presidents to kids. Yeah, the first learning
about civics. And you go through all the pictures from John Adams
all the way through, and we have Henry Harrison, and they all
white. And then you get to this guy, they want to be able to say
like, you know, like,
they just don't like the idea of a black family eating
garbage. You just talked over the punchline, obviously, like,
you know, like,
they just don't like the idea of a black family eating off the
White House, China. They can couch it any way they want. But
it just did not go down well with them.
That's pretty outrageous.
That's the most offensive thing he could have possibly said.
Does he actually believe that? I think people are sitting around
stewing in their own juices. They voted for the guy who was
the white public that voted Obama in and a lot of
Republicans included now. But that's but according to him, no,
that's not true when sitting around, you know, grinding their
teeth. Yeah. Because it'd be and they don't oh my god, there's a
picture of him. Now, that's going to be in the in that
hallway with all the presidents. And there's gonna be a big
picture of this black guy. And that's gonna really bug him. And
this is also everything somewhat. It's a little
transference involved here. It's like, if you think that's gonna
bite when the woman becoming the president. Yeah. And to bring
that up. I do have something to talk about Cameron later. But
Cameron, when he gave gave his last little, his little goodbye,
Island, yeah, the ministers.
I'd like to point out that we correctly predicted Theresa May
would be the next prime minister.
Yeah, well, it was obvious. So he says that and we did
correctly predict. He says, Well, Cameron says, well, now
we're going to be very happy to have Theresa May our second
Prime Minister, that makes us to
nil. to nil. Yeah. Oh, because the other party has known. No.
Well, that could be but I took it because I kept hearing these
slights against the United States. Oh, maybe it was me. It
was me.
Ah, that's our special relationship.
I heard other stuff that he kept saying kept his little slights.
And that was one of now we're to kneel maybe it was over labor.
Labor has never produced a female prime minister. That's
true that you make
good right. But I You can see it either way. I get it depending
on the context. Yeah. Now you remember Deray McKinnon, who was
one of the co founders of Black Lives Matter, and maybe we'll do
it on on Sunday. But I have a complete rundown of all the
funding into the separate Black Lives Matter groups that are and
it's not just Soros. It truly also was Rockefeller Foundation,
if you can believe the craziness of that. I mean, that's
something doesn't surprise
me that most of these funds big foundations like Rockefeller
Ford Foundation, for sure, have all been co opted by extreme
left wingers. They've all been Co Op. Yeah. Yeah. The way it
works. Who else would take these jobs?
Yeah. Oh.
So Darren McKinnon. He was recently arrested in in Baton
Rouge, a recall. This is the guy whose account was hacked into
and I'm I was kicking myself. We were reading some of these text
messages and some of the email messages talking about the
summer of chaos and how 1000s of people will be bused into the
Republican convention to create chaos. Among those text messages
was also July 9, and 10th Baton Rouge. We're gonna have some
bigs gonna go down. And I didn't mention it. And I'm kind of
kicking myself because we saw a lot go down in Baton Rouge,
including McKinnon, who was arrested, and he shows up on two
shows. And just to give you an idea of the thinking of one of
the co founders and how he speaks. Here's the first one
with actually Ben Ben field, I think And she brings up a number
of his tweets and asks him if this is okay what he's saying.
Okay, so I respect that opinion. And when you say that Mayor
Giuliani's speech is disgraceful. Some say that about
your past rhetoric as well. And I just want to read a couple of
your past tweets from April 3 of last year. This quote feared for
my life language is perhaps the new execution motto of America's
largest gang, the police. And then in April, also of last
year, the police are killing people Officer Friendly is akin
to the myth of the American dream, seductive, but a deadly
illusion nonetheless. And then may 23 of last year, the police
are engaged in ethnic cleansing America. That's pretty strong
rhetoric coming from you as well. Do you think it's helpful
or do you regret any of those words?
Yeah, so you know, you think about Officer Friendly. I
remember being a kid growing up, and learning about Officer
Friendly as somebody who was always there to protect me. And
as an adult, what I've seen is Officer Friendly was not there
to protect Tamir was not there to protect Mike Brown. Alton
Sterling, or so many other people. Rekia Boyd, so that is a
myth. And we want to live in a world where that doesn't have to
be mythical, but the world we live in right now, that's just
not true. And the other statements that I made, when we
think about the one about a gang or fear for your life, it is
clear to me that officers did not fear for their life when
Tamir was killed, it is clear to me that Freddie Gray should be
alive officers not fear for their life when he left their
custody and died. So I stand by those words because I know that
they are true
the things he's saying are pretty inflammatory. And I have
to correct myself the video or the sound the clip I played on
the last show, from Louisiana, where it was killed, killed,
oink, oink, killed fry, fry the bacon kill the pigs. That was
actually from a year ago. That wasn't from right after Dallas.
I made a mistake there. But listen to the next bit from this
co founder of Black Lives Matter on MSNBC.
Dre let's talk about the specific details of the arrest.
You say it was unlawful police there are saying
I said this is he was arrested because they blocked the highway
when walking down the highway and stopping traffic and after
they were warned they were arrested. Hey,
it was unlawful police there are saying that they urge you not to
go on to a very busy thoroughfare you did anyway. And
that's why you got arrested. What was your vantage point?
The police officers are provoking protesters the entire
time. And I was just one of the many people they were provoking
in order to create a climate of fear and chaos that they could
exploit.
Notice the chaos word notice the chaos word remember summer of
chaos,
woking in order to create a climate of fear and chaos that
they could exploit. And again, we were all in there because
he's this is very good. He's throwing his baggage onto the
cops who say they want to create an atmosphere of chaos and fear
that they can exploit.
And we were all in there because the police were just flexing
their power. And that's why people are in the streets in the
first place because the police are abusing their power across
the country. So about the Dallas situation, I have far more
questions than I have answers at this point. And I think that
that is the same of all of us. The second part is remember that
we should not have to protest we should not be in the streets.
And the movement didn't cause anything, the police killing
people is what caused all of this, that the movement has been
a response to the violence in communities, and that people
have been organizing for the past two years, specifically
before a long time because we know our communities can be
safer than they are. And the safety of our communities is not
predicated on the presence of police. But with Dallas
specifically, again, are there more questions right now than
their answers?
I want to be very clear about what you just said. You just
said that the police ultimately you think are at the root of
this and the tensions that are being caused by police.
Again, when we think about Dallas, there are so many
questions that we have about the shooter himself by his
motivations. And we don't have enough answers. So I don't know
what else to say besides that, but I do know that we shouldn't
have to protest that we are only in the streets because Outten
and Philando and rakia and Tamir did a den. And if they weren't
dead, we would not have to be in the streets like this.
These are these events that are very well coordinated. They're
everywhere in the over the country. Yes. Yeah. And they are
coordinated. And this guy's good. Yeah, but I hear hear I
hear and this by the way, she asked him a question. He
answered some other questions. That's very
but he's also saying I don't know who was the I think the the
Dallas shooting was clearly not a Black Lives Matter coordinated
effort. And they're confused about it, too. That's what I
hear. So now just to take it into something I hear the same
thing into some real thought that was some good things were
said in this. Don Lemon townhall, although just just
listening to the opener. I already had a Primatech god I'm
gonna sit through two hours of this. Baton Rouge a routine
police call
in Alton Sterling is dead. St. Paul, a routine traffic stop.
And falando
Castile is dead now. Routine. When cops are called in for a
man with gun it's not routine. When police are pulling someone
over because they may be armed robbery suspects it's not
routine. That was disgusting. You can say that it was
senseless use and you can say whatever you want, but you can't
say these were routine calls and they wound up dead. And then we
have lemon. Let's see. Where's the lemons? His opener was
cheese. I have too many clips. I can't find everything.
Here it is. No, darn it.
Yes, here we go. This is lemons opening.
Good evening, everyone. I am so glad that we are doing this this
evening. I'm so thankful that all of you can join us here we
have a problem in this country Americans or this country hands
of our police 518 shot and killed in the first six months
of this year on par with last year and police. Well police are
dying to 28 of them and firearm related incidents a 56% increase
over last year, and it is only July. Meanwhile, a brand new New
York Times poll finds that 69% of Americans say that race
relations are bad. The highest level that's since the Rodney
King riots back in 1992.
Now, did you hear what I heard? I heard that killing of cops has
doubled. But killing of black civilians is the same. Yet we
have a problem in this country with the cops killing black
people or killing people. I don't understand how that
statistic is not mentioned more often.
The whole this whole thing is besides being tedious at this
point. Yeah. These meetings. It's just it's a I think you hit
the nail long ago and you've kind of gotten off the point
which is this is an attempt to to defeat Donald Trump.
Yes. But I haven't gotten off the point with these last two
clips. And I'm done. Because we do have problems in our country
in my country that I'm still very proud of. And the former
Ferguson Police Department chef, Chief chef, the sommelier I
think he nailed it. He really and there was no follow up. No,
no other conversation about it. But he nailed it, particularly
as Ferguson is an outstanding example of the real problem in
my country.
But is this something that's ingrained? And I don't think
people consciously I think people, you know, agree with you
consciously that police officers are doing this. But is this
something that's ingrained in society? Is it ingrained in the
training? Is it are you You know, those perceptions, whether
it's Don Lemon actually saying is racism ingrained in the
training of the police department? You
know, those perceptions do they come from the police academy or
just being in on the force?
I don't, I don't think it's ingrained at all. What I think
we have Is it is it was brought to to the fore a little while
ago, and then it's what Chief Brown from Dallas said is that
too much is being put on police officers too much of society's
ails. One of the big problems we have we had in in Ferguson is
concentrated poverty, which I think is at the root of the
problem. We're taking poor people and concentrating them in
small areas. With with HUD programs are well intentioned
and well meaning But are are unregulated. So we have the
responsibility goes to the police. So we have elevated
crime. Broken down families, lack of education, lack lack of
jobs, lack of hope.
There you go. I think that there you go. You nailed it. And when
this happens in Latino communities, then Latinos get
shot. And this whole thing started off with the woman of
Alan Brown out and the guy who was shot while he was selling
CDs on the man with weapons call. And then the family
including brother stepmom, father and uncle of one of the
Dallas police officers who was killed not falling who fell
can't get up now was killed murdered.
And they were Hispanic.
And this is the whole thing was white Pete white cops, black
people white and this with Don Lemon was looking at Hispanic
family who are clearly Brown, but they were white for him.
This was just convenient. You're white. If you or you're Latino,
you could be white, if it's convenient to the argument to
the narrative. You're you. You're either you're Latino, if
it's convenient to the narrative, you're white if his
content is good to the job, that it contributes to the narrative.
If you look at the bowl crap, and it's like, this is all I
admire this, would you put together here and I think the
poverty thing that if these guys would spend their time focusing
on poverty, yes. And
tell me about the HUD program when you said there's no
oversight or no regulation? No, this
is the part this is a huge this is the the the shadow government
that runs everything that HUD progress. There's no oversight.
The government has no oversight. There was a great and people
should go yes, that's in the show notes already.
What the Glennon stuff.
Yes, of course, I put that in the show notes. Are you kidding
me? People should go
listen to this guy then. And you should also go get this guy's
book because Michael Glennon and the agenda book is it's on
Amazon is not cheap. It's 118
pages and 29 bucks, but I got it.
It's national security and double government. And it
happens to bend Glennon gives a speech about it on YouTube. That
is pretty much the book, as far as I can tell. It is and he
discusses the real problem in the world, which is the second
the government there's legitimate government and
there's an official government he
talks about the did you say official? No, was something I
said legacy government and legacy government and then the
efficient government Go ahead. And
the efficient government is what does all that does it today's
efficient government is taken over everything. And the worst
part about it is national security also comes out of the
efficient government, and it can do whatever it wants, and it's
pretty much run roughshod over our rights. But this guy
discusses this. And if and so you end up with situations like
the HUD programs, which there's no oversight, and he's uh, he
himself says, here's the biggest scandal in the last couple of
years. And I agree with him is when James Clapper why for
Congress, and under oath, lied. And nobody said anything or did
anything because the because you're dealing with, with the
shadow government or the efficient government versus the
the legacy government, the legacy government is losing more
and more power, and the NDP, if you look at the way the EU is
structured, it's structured in favor of an efficiency
government, the
concept here and it was based on Beckett, I think was the guy's
name, who wrote it, who came up with this theory of the
efficient government that's underneath the radar, and
making all of the laws, but even though the legislature is
supposed to make the laws, these governments and and I want to
say that I worked for one of these operations,
let me just finish the thought here. So you have this official
government, and their job is to give you the illusion that
something's being done your vote and all that. But meanwhile, the
efficient government, which is CIA, FBI, and it's all of these
agencies, EPA, EPA, CDC, it's everybody, it's all of them.
They are the and they just make stuff happen and just run the
world and make
laws. Yes. Go ahead. They're given the permission to make
laws and they make lots of them. The EPA, we talked about all
over regulation in this country, where does all that come from?
It comes from the efficient government cranking out laws,
what happened in the EU that got Great Britain to finally get to
a nerve to quit, because they had they already had a problem
with a with an efficient government within their ranks,
because the the the legacy government was actually the
Queen and the House of Lords, which has been taken over by the
prime minister in the House of Commons. And they set up all
these agencies to do this efficient government and
routine. And then they were meta oversight by the EU, which they
were using their efficient government, which all these guys
making rules and regulations about how many fish you can
catch, and how big a pillar should be, and how, what a
button should look like, and how many holes that should have, and
all this sort of thing. There was too much. Yeah, the Brits
are the first ones to bail up because they couldn't take it
anymore. They had enough problems. But we are completely
oblivious to this. This guy has nailed it. Yes. And character
has nailed it. Yes.
And then going back to this town hall when the Fergus, the former
police, police chief says, you know, hey, this is a
concentration of poverty. And believe me when you get that,
and you ask the police to be like, Whatever happened to the
show cops, whatever happened to that show? That those bad boys
that really showed what was going on?
That ran its course is what happened to it and couldn't go
forever.
Okay. So the HUD program the the Housing Urban Development
Program, yeah. And these, I have to say are a lot of Democratic
Party. Yeah, in fact, at Ferguson run by Democrat, you
know, it's very, very, very bad policy and we're lying. I don't
see why any minority group poverty. minority group was say
that because it's easier It's not about colors when you're
impoverished. They have no faith in the government. When you hear
on television the reality the whole day, no be with only four
and a half percent unemployment. There's plenty of jobs,
everything's great. Everything's groovy, the stock market is up.
They know what's what's going on. It's not true. One other
point that came up is my last one from this. True. It's not
true. But reality. You hear it the elites, what's on
television, what's a news? What's in the New York Times?
That's their reality, even though it's a subsection of
what's going on. And here's the other former police chief, I
forget Neal, his name, I forget where he's from. Black man, this
is something that's never been resolved, or it's been
perpetuated since slavery. And we have to deal with it. Yes, we
have to go back and talk with that. Talk about that. So since
slavery, until now, there's always been a tool, there's
always been a method, there's always been a policy to vilify
the black man. And we're calling it and we're, and it's
manifesting itself now in what we see every day in policing,
because it's right in front of you, what's not women, this is a
societal problem, how we view the black man. And I'm gonna
tell you something right now, most of black people also fear
the young black man, because subconsciously, this is what has
been fed to us over the years. Now you want to sit down,
acknowledge that you don't have some sort of fear before you
catch yourself before you catch yourself and realize that, well,
we shouldn't be thinking this way, when you see a group of
young black men standing on a corner sagging and doing what
they do. But the key is to understand and to recognize that
we all have our individual bias, and to recognize it, and then to
control it and not act upon it. Here's the negative way.
You go. The black man, black people are afraid of the black
man.
So this has been brought up every time somebody brings us up
to get excoriated. Now he wasn't that way, you can't think that
way. You can't think that way. He wasn't excoriated, but all
the media makes it think that way.
All right. And and just to go back to the Democrats wanting to
annihilate the Republican Party, I put a lot of blame on the
governor of Minnesota.
Because funnily Yeah,
and so you know, he has a whole thing. So a whole pro Hillary
organization, he's always, you know, flying out to where she
is. And you know, and for anyone we knew, we heard the clip, he
came out and said, Oh, well, this was clearly, you know, if
they'd been white than then Casteel would never have been
shot if he was white, for the governor to say that, you know,
he's bitching about what, what the Supreme Court Ginsburg said
this morning and growing and making a big story about it that
they didn't make anything out of this. And so yes, yeah, you're
right. He would if he was white, it would everyone accepted it as
gospel, especially the media that yeah, he wouldn't have been
shot. This was the gospel. If he was white vote for Hillary.
That's pretty much what it should have
been. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. So it's very, very sickening to
think that what is happening with policing and poverty,
because that's how I view it. And if you're a police officer,
you got a whole bunch of, you know, you got a crazy Asian
community of impoverished people. It's, yeah, it's us
against them. Yeah, that's going to happen. It's I don't
necessarily know if that is all based on hating black people.
But
this election cycle has brought out just this horrible horrible
way of operating in the political arena by blaming
racism on Republicans and that that is truly disgusting.
Well, it's it's a technique I mean, the good the women thing
that they already spent their capital on the women they've
already you know, Republicans are gun they're gonna they're
gonna kill your children your children are all gonna die
because of your Republicans. Right? So they already spent all
the money on that political capitals done there's none left
so they gotta make it their push the racism thing. Now, I think
the greatest synopsis of the whole the whole thing in a funny
way, if you can understand a word of it, is Jesse Jackson.
Came on one of the shows, I think it was democracy now. I
don't know why they bring him on anything. You can't understand a
word he says but if you can, actually makes a little sense
may be
looking I'm looking.
Jackson, Jesse Jackson Jackson.
Oh, yes, I got it. Sorry. Jesse Jackson. mumbling Very good.
Yes. The killer did not come out of the civil rights movement
that was a strategy alien to the Wigan function. But secondly,
when Need some real renewing that there's a date November the
eighth and Trump has thrown down his gun at today's and Law and
Order trying to imitate Nixon. We must choose our
reconciliation of retaliation revenge out President Obama will
address on the line the police issue. The issue of jobs, jobs,
training and economic reconstruction and race are the
race foot race disparity. Racist branch is real. It is real and
it's growing.
I understood what he said. But I haven't I have a better Jesse
Jackson clip. And he was all over the place. The Reverend
listen to this, I think all
of us can do more and in this stage must have more because
we're these are military style weapons on the streets. This
thing could get much uglier. That is fear, beliefs and fear.
The people in fear children are in fear. But fear and hate must
not drive our agenda. Love And Hope and Healing must drive the
agenda.
I agree with you on that point. But it's important to note as
well that military style weapons if you're talking about machine
guns are illegal for the most part. And I think it's a
distinction that we need to make.
Yeah, but in Texas that these mill does ak 40 sevens? Not only
can they shoot up theaters in church, they can they can bring
down airplanes. It is irrational.
You already said an AK 47 can bring down airplane
bring on airplanes. We got to stop with AK 40 sevens bring it
down airplanes.
I thought my was a better mumble was a better
mumble but I thought the AK bringing down a plane is okay.
Yeah, that's what those Yeah, that was AK is man I'll tell you
with that woman
stopping and when he's thinking military. We're not talking
about just guns. We're talking about these tanks these these
armored vehicles these sound rig machines and all the rest of it.
That to be
fair to the reporter she she followed up and said excuse me,
with all due respect, Reverend but an AK 47 Can't bring down an
airplane. Oh man.
Well if he got lucky,
I don't think so. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
courage and say in the morning to you John. See what the C
stands for Caucasian straight old white male DeVore Ack.
Well, in the morning to you and in the morning it all ships at
sea and a boots on the ground and I can't find my echo device.
Okay. It's subs in the water feet in the air and all that
name is nights out there in the morning

in there this morning and in the morning to Oh, yes. Once again.

was a lot of good art and there was a lot but you know we had to
make a decision. So please visit no agenda are generated are calm
and make your submission or just
recently picked out a piece because it was just the ones
that make us kind of laugh a little bit. Usually the ones
that get picked. Yes. The one that Yeah, exactly. The one that
makes us laugh is Yeah, I agree. It's all about candlelit.
So we only got one executive producer today again, and three

would do that are Canadians and they didn't care. 333 33 is our
leading executive producer from Plymouth, Massachusetts, or
Massachusetts and that would be sir Adam Johnson. And he says
hey John and Adam I'm heading off to Germany here today and
wanted to make sure I got a donation and before I left
hopefully this helps with some of the recent donation
stagnation I've I'm already being the country that divided
the time you are reading this on the show, but I figured every
little bit of karma helps I don't know if it will be able to
be able to listen to any new shows while I'm there. But if I
can get a climate gate jingle that would be great. Okay, it
always makes me smile when I hear it it I learned if I learn
anything interesting while I'm here I'll let you know thank you

Jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Karma.
Ben go to Donald mallet tuner bucks from St. Paul, Minnesota.
He sent in a long note. Yeah, it actually is.
Yeah, I don't think we're supposed to discuss the content
of that note on the show. He wants to remain anonymous.
Regarding the note.
Oh, okay. Well, we won't discuss the note but he will mention
that he there's parts of the note that we could discuss. He's
a he's now got hitting them out some time ago. Okay. Yeah. And
he wanted to mention that he felt guilty. So he's trying to
get to 200 bucks. So even though he's a star, he's starving to
death because the student loans the student loan, so you have to
admire him for at least coming in.
Not not just that, but he's also helped us with a lot of insight
into it because he didn't St. Paul and what hap what's been
happening in Minneapolis, but we'll bring that up on Sunday,
but we can't
attribute anything to him. Christopher Dolan in Brookline,
Massachusetts
to give John a little karma here. He definitely deserves the
karma. Thank you so much. Karma Heyliger.
Brookline Massachusetts Christopher Dolan the $200
Please give me a shorter shot of karma and thank you for the best
podcast in the universe you've got
karma
Okay, that would be at the work that org slash na we haven't
Wait.
I have another one. And $200 from dude named Andy. Who was
oh, right from Minnesota nuts.
Big note I thought to do Oh, okay. Well, I'm done. I'm
confused.
Yeah, Don is another note.
Okay, well, now I missed I must admit, I think dude named Andy's
the Gauss student loan debt or,
you know, this. I don't know.
Okay, no, I see that. Okay, this is my spreadsheet because if I
scroll down, it just jumps right to Jason from Canada. So I'm,
I'm missing the dude named Mandy.
Okay, thank you for your excellent work that you do on
the show have been a regular listener since about show 700 I
have no doubt that the karma and brain cleansing I've received
from listening to the show led me to get the kick ass job
Atlanta when starting listening to the show. We love hearing
that. I've decided that I've been a douchebag long enough
even though just today I hit my longtime friend Dan in the
mouth, I'm still climbing the area's I'm still climbing out of
student loan debt, but it's time I carved out a $200 donation for
you even though I'm sure they still owe you more under the
value for value model. Seems that I needed a D douching. Can
I get a clip of Comey not recommending prosecution
followed by a Hillary it's almost too good to believe my
friends. That will be dynamite also a round of jobs karma for
everyone. I'd like to add some perspective about the shooting
of Philando Castile in Minnesota. And he has quite a
quite a long note. But he does say that he feels our analysis
of the officer involved death of Philando Castile is spot on the
officers had a valid reason for pulling over the vehicle. Even
if that was not the case. The sequence of events led me to
only the same conclusion as yours.
And my question is why are we the only ones who played the
officer the radio tape? I don't know about this before we've
done this before we've done it with the shoot the so called you
know. forced landing. Yeah, we're snowed in there. We've
done this a number of times. We've done it with the with the
911 tapes. That were bullcrap. From Sandy Hook. Yeah. Why
doesn't anybody but us play these tapes?
It's, you know, then you could only think that maybe there's
some big conspiracy. I don't know. Conspiracy
is laziness.
Laziness. No, I think that it didn't fit the
conspiracy of laziness. Yeah, doesn't fit the narrative, the
net and when you
look at photos as that as Castillo's car was still there
and when it started to get dark, both taillights are working. So
I don't know where that came from other than from, you know,
our lavish diamond
oil doing and streaming
audition or doing our audition. Yeah. But we have the tape and
also there's there's still no conclusive evidence that Casteel
had a concealed permit. License. Now that's But it doesn't matter
because we know what reality is. We heard it from the
professionals from the Washington Post and MSNBC
reality is what you see on television. Everything else is
just not real. What did he want here? I don't have the I can do
the Hillary thing but yeah, well,
he wants she thinks because it'd be funny to have Comey saying we
don't recommend prosecution then have Hillary say it's almost too
delicious to believe my friend right but I'd have to go in and
edit that. Yeah, we can't do that. That's not a clip if
you're going to record requests clips, they have to be clips.
Yeah. Not something that we played on the show that happens
to be have something within it. Because we can't do that on the
fly.
That would take a little bit too much. So I can give him the
Hillary it's
almost too delicious to believe my friend.
You've been D deuced. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote
for job. Karma.
There we go.
And that concludes our little group of well wishers. Yes, very
little today.
Well, but thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you a lot. And sorry about the 714 not working out with
anybody
was so slightly zero on that, huh? didn't work at all and
get one person to say well, I can do that. I can take a double
executive producer thing. divorce.org/a We have another
show coming up on Sunday. No more we don't have best deal day
as a gimmick. And we'll see.
Well, how about just a screw gimmicks? Oh, damn gimmick. Got
the work. Yeah,
you do apparently. Don't have a gimmick. Nobody seems to care.
PR mentioned here from Ramsey Kane, of course the brain behind
no agenda cd.com. And he's doing his annual Las Vegas meetup,
which I believe falls at same time as DEF CON or Yeah, yeah.
The meetups in Las Vegas to the Encore lobby bar on Saturday,
August 6 7pm. At some point some of us will be going down to the
strip to hand out CDs once again. All the details are both
at no agenda cd.com And no. No agenda Saturday 20 six.com.
Interesting. Last year's Attendees included Dame Angela
Citizen X a number of other na luminaries that I know don't
want to be mentioned. We had a blast last year and expect no
less this year. Any questions can be directed to no agenda
cd@gmail.com Or just go get all the information at no agenda
cd.com
grant by the way, those events are great. DEF CON is a terrific
event. And as the FBI spooks are there and GA guys and all kinds
of crazy hackers and our guys, that's fantastic. All right guys
floating around. They've given us CDs
shaped that and we appreciate all of our one executive
producer, Associate Executive Producers today. Thank you so
much. You do make it possible for us to do a lot of this work.
And it's highly appreciated. Please remember we have another
show coming up on Sunday
evora.org/n A maybe
in Vegas, maybe in your town wherever you are propagate our
formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
What did you do? Was there any feedback from your Obama bought?
Oh, yeah. What happened was they wouldn't of course ever heard
the show we
were talking about just recap for what happened here. You
had last week we talked about a bet that was made in last show.
I had Greg Zachary professor at ASU of journalism and John
Markoff at the house, Zachary Bicha. didn't mention his last
name
high and high end guys in
high end guys very, you know, well respected in their field.
And so I they bet me because you fit into the narrative that we
had going which was at the progressive for some unknown
reason think that Trump's gonna get kicked out of the out of the
conference. Yeah, and the invention and loses he's not
gonna get the nomination. I even
hear everyone saying we have the 28 votes we need whatever that
means.
We have the 28 Anything. And now the show they're very confident
because they bought into the narrative because they're an
isolated, liberal progressive milieu that doesn't that would
never listen to the show. And they would have never heard this
what we had to say except for our night in Accra, Ghana. Who
who Greg knows is a personal friend as in Africa, because he
goes there all the time. And so he say you're pretty featured
and it talks about you on the show is pretty funny. And so
then so the show the two guys listen, oh no life and so then
gave me a bunch of nasty notes, really. But the funny one was,
listen to Greg, because Greg, you could tell he was listening
to the show. And so I get a note from him like every 10 or 15
minutes in real time as he's listening, commenting on
something in the show, as he's listening shows pretty funny,
like eight messages. And it all matched up. Oh, can you share
some of these? They weren't that interesting, because you are
fully crap. Or, you know, I don't have any in front of me.
Mark off, though, does say Oh,
But why were you full of crap?
Ah, you know, the notes are just, it's just like you. We
didn't say that. It was just saying they were just denying.
Let me go grab a note.
You might as well do that. Yeah. Because I think if we have two
journalists on top of their field for Wall Street Journal,
New York Times, listening to the show, and sending you notes in
real time as a stream of
data. Did that do Markov just sent one nasty note,
but it was both nasty notes. Hey, my old boss don't send me
nasty notes.
Yeah, they did. We read a couple of them.
Well, not after the dinner.
Oh, well, it was Yeah, right. Your wish because you're
tracking them all the time. I like doing now stalking him.
Yeah, exactly. Okay, let's start with the first note. I'm
listening to show 841 Right now this is just starting. Simple.
He says I'm a narcissist. And now we must do the podcast about
sports. He wants to do his spouse because he's very good at
and then they just did there's nothing here just by the way
that blah blah. He just letting me know the starting to listen
back. I saw my email now has to deal with a guy listening to the
show in real time. He does. He does have one that's worth
reading. Let me see when you find out which one
did he mentioned? how great the show sounds are?
No, of course not. These guys. Let me see if I can find the one
that I thought was if there's one worth reading out of class
because you say I didn't class Yeah. to class. Yeah, to
classmates. I did because nobody ever said it was a they says
okay, next show.
But he thought there were rules that you can't discuss anything
on the show
is bullcrap. And there's one in here that he's got why I got a
bunch of to go through and give me a break. You know, I'll take
my winnings about how Trump will say, honestly, I now fear of
Trump will beat back attempts to stop his nomination. He won.
That's how he's going to be back at tamps way is the one he
bitches about you. Oh, it's the one banker. Yeah,
I read that one.
I gotta find so many of these. Ah, and there it is. Now, I
guess he's I don't know how many minutes he's in. He says a net
and Adam called us pussies. He says I he's going to regret it
when our NBA show is a success.
Oh, I'm so worried about someone calling me a name on the
internet.
I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry.
When was that? It was like when I say 100. Yeah. $100 bed. So he
doubles down. It says he'll do the $100 and Mark doesn't say
that mark off says that I lied about the whole thing. And
probably, you lied about the whole thing. He says you this
note is actually worth reading. Okay.
More about me, please.
That's all. Like
we're gonna go to my safe space because the guy from The Wall
Street Journal is gonna say something about me on a sports
podcast.
He says, he says, he says I remember nothing about an obat
discussion. He is fabricating about me sending this note to
Greg I think. And so I had to send him a lengthy note because
what happened was I said when they were talking about Trump, I
said oh, I said this is like the Adams Oh, but dinners I'm gonna
have to talk about this. Yeah. And then mark off said he
doesn't remember any of this of course, because he was drunk.
You had them dry? Yeah, we did have a lot of wine. He said he
said what's an obat and before I can answer him Greg jumped in
with some other bullshit that I did took us off the
conversation. And so he forgot even asked me about what's an
obod and so Greg started talking about his other stuff and then I
said that's when I said I should watch that a recording you guys
should tape this. This is so funny, listening to these two
guys. So mark off, it continues and says, I had to look up obat
so he looked it up, they still didn't know what it meant. These
are this is the typical This is the New York Times these guys I
love these two guys. I can combine them but they are
isolated within the you know this milieu they don't even need
never heard this term. And she says and then he comes back at
me with this is A tea party term, you're a stooge for the
Tea Party that says to me, you should
say no, I'm actually black. My Black Lives Matter will be fun.
Yeah, I should put black lives matter
at the bottom. And that was how it ended. And I just tried to
explain to him what had happened and why I did it. And I wasn't,
you know, telling you anything that was, shouldn't have been
known. It wasn't like I was, you know, talking about the, you
know, the size of their dicks or anything. So,
it's not on the show.
I actually don't know the answer to that question. So it's
academic. Anyway, so that's how it ended. And now they're both
mad at me and said, Greg, he says, Yeah, you know, I think
you should just talk about me more often. So Oh, yeah.
I respect him for that. And I will say, I would love to hear
you on a sports podcast. I think that'd be great. I would, I
would listen to that. And I'm, yes, we know, I'm not a sports
guy. I would listen to that. For sure.
That's a possibility. We might end up doing that. But it's
gonna be we decided it would be NBA. We just we've talked about
this occasion, because he's not about it. He's an NBA all year
round. It wouldn't be it wouldn't be a talk show where
you're talking about soccer and women's tennis. So I'm
only tuning in to hear him talk about me. Are you kidding me?
Soccer. I can't read that he called me a pussy. Maybe you
popped it up earlier, we're talking about the the the
efficient government. And during that speech, and please watch
that it's only an hour, it's a YouTube clip. The question comes
up, which was asked by a really good question. And he his answer
with the question answered were so long, that could really
couldn't condense it down to anything clippable. That cyber
board, let's say he has the term cyber, let's just call it that
is really the frontier knows the front lines of this kind of
strife between the official government and the efficient
government. And when the Obama administration that was the
question when the Obama administration came in, with oh,
it were the were the techno guys, were the internet
generation, we're going to do it all. Did they try to take a lot
of that power back certainly in the cyber realm. And did they
fail? And the author said, critical, easy? Oh, absolutely.
It's exactly what happened. It makes so much sense in
hindsight, when we I mean, we will, there was a lot of
convincing talk about how this would be the internet
generation, we'd have you know, interaction with our government.
There'll be all kinds of stuff, right? No, yeah, no, but we got
we they remember that they redesigned the White House
website. It was like 80 grand or so it was like just an overhaul
refresh of the website is what they wound up with. But if you
see the stories now, Department of Homeland Security is now
pushing for more cyber experts in the field, same day, the
report comes out White House accelerate cyber hiring. So they
ms may still be trying to do something. But it explains well,
of course, we knew cyber would be a bonanza, but really, you
know, it is the front line of the efficient government running
everything and keeping everybody out.
Cadence. I thought one interesting thing is he kind of
glossed it over didn't say too much about it. Just wanted to
mention it. He I think he blames the global warming hysteria over
efficient government. He said he didn't mention that because
somebody brought it up he says the global warming thing is
comes out of efficient government and and what doesn't
get discussed, because it can't efficient government does just
does what it does is to computer models and the debate that you
can have over what which model is the right model? Yeah, what
models the right model. And there's been nothing but a never
ending debate. And people who know anything about computer
modeling know that it's a bogus field of study, because it's
just too many variables. It's never properly done. So the
whole goal, that's what well,
if computer modeling really was was accurate, then we would be
able to predict the weather.
Right, better than we do. Yeah. I mean, now it's just patterns.
You see clouds coming in and it feels like rain, the barometer
is dropping, it's going to rain. It's not really much to write
within. Any airman will tell you you want to kind of know what
the weather is going to be. Next for the next six or 12 hours.
Yeah, we could probably do it we'll check on Route. But that's
it. You can't be predicting this stuff. Two weeks ahead. Just
doesn't mean
this guy I'm telling you everyone out there who listens
to this show. This is the probably more seminal than
economic hitman which is one of the other major you have to read
books. Yeah, this
thing not the revamp one the
no not the new one. Do not get the new get the original one the
original one new one they start to back off and there's like
stuff taken out. We don't know what nope, no one's ever done a
word by word comparison. But something happened on the on the
remake of the book. So you want to get the original All right.
What else we got? Well, I got a couple of things.
I'll lead into one for you. I saw you have a clip so I'll lead
it. In Brooklyn one neighborhood 33 people.
You got to clip right. Yeah, I got the k two clip.
Okay,
this is great. Yesterday, more than 30 people in New York. Oh,
why
didn't you say 33? It's 33. Everybody
said 33 and all the articles but it's the only clip I took this
clip because it has a it has a lot of sound effects in the back
of people yelling and screaming. We love it. It's very fun. It's
a funnier clip.
This was like in like, two blocks in Brooklyn, right? Yes,
somebody
sells them bad K to
yesterday, more than 30 people in New York suffered bizarre
reactions to an illegal synthetic drug which is now
available all across the country. Michelle Miller reports
from New York City.
It was a bizarre seeing dozens of people with blank stares
stumbling around a Brooklyn neighborhood yesterday. Is this
crazy? Brian Arthur live streamed it on Facebook.
As I'm walking around the block. I see everybody laying on the
floor. And everybody's just stumbling all over the place. I
looked at like a scene out of a zombie movie.
emergency workers sent 33 people to area hospitals saying they
appeared to be under the influence of the synthetic drug
known as k two or spice designed to mimic marijuana. The man made
drug has far more powerful effects. This man says he's used
it before.
Okay to does it put you in a world delusional world have your
mind spinning? Its mind altering.
He was made by spring various legal chemicals onto plants.
It's then ground up and smoke. users experience confusion
hallucinations, rapid heart rate and even seizures. Police aid
sold at small neighborhood grocery stores. This gate was a
CBS undercover producer founded at this Brooklyn corner store
last year. One one all right. K two usage is growing nationwide.
The CDC reports more than 3500 calls of synthetic marijuana use
to poison centers over a five month period last year. That's a
229% jump from the year before
now. I just noticed something that finally the quarter
dropped. This is to discredit marijuana. Calling it
psychedelic marijuana. It's not okay.
I think it's to just to open the way for legalization of
marijuana because a meme that's been floating around is that no
one's ever died from an overdose of marijuana. That's been in all
the reports every time you hear reports about legalization as
well. No one's ever died. No one's ever died. And so you have
this bad shit. K two it's
it sounds dynamite. I don't know what you say is bad.
People staggering. I
saw the video is great.
It's like, I think just the opposite. I think it's an app.
The idea is that well we can get these bad this horrible product
off the streets and we can regulate marijuana. i It could
be either way. But I'm glad you brought yours that side up
because that could be that but I don't think so. There was
meanwhile, and but as an aside, I want to mention something that
guys said that they're talking about people laying on the
street. The guy says there's people all over the floor. Yeah.
And in the in the one of the shootings in the theater Baton
Rouge when he says the guy was cop jumped him and then he
didn't he hit the floor. We're talking about the ground.
Yeah. What is this a lot of these weird things. I have a new
one to look out for. I'd wrote it down. All right, well, look
out for a floor floor. And then the other one is, she doesn't
get out beyond her skis. I've heard this three times. I didn't
clip it. And it's in reference to Hillary. She never gets
beyond her skis.
How's that supposed to mean?
I'm not sure but
oh my gosh, she doesn't go she doesn't get she doesn't do
things she can't do or she she stays within the array
with I think boundaries. Let me just see if I can find a crazy
phrase that I use. Yeah, I've been hearing a lot. See? It's
nothing obviously saying nothing really. I heard Rachel Maddow
say it and I heard some millennial reporter on CNN say
it both and referenced it. No, she was on MSNBC. So it's
probably an MSNBC thing they're talking about she never go the
you watch. You'll be hearing those guys. I'm
sure I'll hear it if you've heard it. Yeah. Never go. Let's
go back to back to the let's go back to posit. Yeah, I have a
bunch of pipe clips. This coincided with what was going
on. It was actually a couple of months ago, but it's now being
discussed a lot First
big vote coming up.
There's a pot vote coming up on the west coast. But the Harvard
Medical School had a huge con fab the first one of pot science
and pot, medical use of pot and all the rest of it. They brought
in that guy from Israel who's apparently been studying it for
since the 60s and he's the only guy seems to be an expert. And
so when you and he's done a lot of research, he's the one who
did who found the CBD and found the THC. And he's the one that
when Hillary says, oh, we need more research. You know, we you
pointed this guy has been researching his head off. But
let's start with pot update. We'll catch up to this
possible Harbinger
from the future, Harbinger. In other words, we identified early
on our possible
Harbinger.
I can think of no better
place to host the first annual Kanban conference that here at
Harvard Medical School so welcome.
First Annual personalized cannabinoid medicine conference
at Harvard Medical School in April, and unprecedented meeting
of the minds in the world of medical marijuana.
For almost 30 years, nothing happened.
And the father of marijuana research was here to receive a
Lifetime Achievement Award. Ref Elma. Shulam is an Israeli
chemist who became interested in cannabis when he began his
scientific career,
I was kind of surprised to find out that the chemistry of
cannabis, an important drug, in my view, was not well known. So
matter of fact, we didn't know at that time I'm speaking of the
early 60s than active compounds, and not been isolated in pure
form.
In 1963, he identified the structure of cannabidiol CBD,
one of the most medically important compounds found in
cannabis. And in 1964, he isolated the active component of
marijuana tetrahydrocannabinol THC,
I thought that as soon as we know the chemistry, and the
pharmacology and and the toxicity, and if there are any
positive effects, companies will go in and take compounds and go
ahead with clinical trials, which is true for a huge, huge
number of drugs.
But this is a drug like no other. It was made illegal one
year after the 1936 release of a cinematic diatribe against
marijuana called reefer madness.
Still a classic Vida if you have not seen it, you have to see.
It's not so much substance itself. It's who uses it. The
substance was associated with Mexican American and African
American communities. If you look at the precepts of Reefer
Madness, it's some pretty, you know, I would say embarrassing
part of our of our national history.
Now, I want to mention a couple of things. When Mimi was now we
were talking about this. Mimi has a rheumatoid arthritis. And
she doesn't want to take pharmaceuticals for it and she's
discovered that CBD is extremely positive. Yes. For this sort of
ailment to magic. It's a bit magical in a lot of different
ways. And there's actually a good explanation for why it
works so well. But first before we play that want to just play
pot, not just a little clip pot not accepted use
in the US marijuana still remains classified as a Schedule
One controlled substance, the same category as heroin, cocaine
and LSD, with tight restrictions for researchers and no accepted
use for medical treatment. Just need to put him in
this is absolutely shameful. Yeah, this situation continues
and I will blame me I will even blame talk show hosts like
Michael Savage, who should know better since he's a guy whose
specialty was all these herbs, herbs and flowers and edible
things and drugs in the wild. And he's one of those guys who
pounds the drum about how bad it is. Now these here's the kicker
on this thing. So Mimi's using the CBD stuff as much as she can
and she gives us more energy share. Your fingers don't ache
didn't have all these issues with arthritis. It says there's
no THC in there. It's gonna get high off but it's just the cat
the cannabinoid right
yeah, there's the kick, right the CBD. And she says if you go
and I'm gonna go I'm gonna go up to watch next I'm gonna go visit
a couple of these plays because they got all these different
things. They got chocolates, and they got all kinds of crazy
edibles.
Yeah, a lot of bears. She's Yes.
She told me about them. She says you go into one of these pot
places. The place is filled. Filled with old lady Yeah, it's
not just she says you don't see a bunch of hippies and potheads
in there you see old ladies, old ladies with these aches and
pains old ladies that have rheumatoid arthritis, old ladies
with all kinds of issues that you think you're gonna have once
this gets out and when these old ladies, old ladies are a
powerful political force, they're not going to put up with
this much longer if they you take this pot away from them,
this is not going to happen. That's why there's never going
to get reversed in any of these states because the old ladies
will revolt. And this is what this is all about is stuff like
that. And then there's obviously the the epileptic situation
where a dancer Kids Yeah, are damaging themselves. In fact,
there's a sad story to be told by this one woman who is she's a
she's a doctor herself, and this is the clip not pot seizures,
you play this so you hear what somebody has to go through.
Because this was kept illegal for no good reason for him after
that stupid movie,
which was mainland seizures, seizures, which was Yeah, which
was mainly to discredit who actually was the crazy the
Mexicans are smoking it, they're all going crazy.
And there's a number of factors one the Hearst Corporation
either they went potty grown because it had can be used to
make paper and they had some Forrestdale or something. So
that was one way of getting rid of it. There was a little ditty
that was shown on the PBS news arses in 1619 the Virginia
legislature now there was one back then the Virginia
legislature said by law all farmers had to grow hemp ah,
ropes and whatever they use it for but anyway, play this little
thing. This is a kind of a pathetic story. They these are
very common.
So perhaps it is no surprise that researchers suspect
cannabis can do so many things, from fighting cancer to
concussions to Crohn's disease. But perhaps the most dramatic
story of how cannabis might be good medicine is in epilepsy. In
the 70s and 80s, Dr. Shulam published studies that showed
CBD can curb seizures. There was no further research until
parents of epileptic children who did not respond to
conventional pharmaceuticals, discovered Dr. Mushrooms work. I
do come at this with two hats. Neuroscientist Catherine
Jacobson told her story at the Cannabis medical conference at
Harvard Medical Cannabis, her seven year old son Ben has
epilepsy. Can you smile? After discovering Dr. Mushrooms
papers, she started giving Ben daily doses of CBD at times
making the formula in her garage. His seizures diminished
by 40%.
But it's excruciating to think about what we went through to
get here, right, and and what might have happened if we had
been able to do this five years ago, or six years ago. I know
for a fact he would be a different kid today, if he
hadn't suffered all that brain damage.
Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, this is obviously this. It's a
magical plant. It is a magical plant. And that's why it had to
be for Bolton. Well interfere
with drug companies that interfered with paper companies
and had all these issues. And then it was associated with
Blacks and Mexicans talking about racism. And you have the
whole thing. It's just like, and all these new facts have been
revealed over the last 10 or 15 years. And it's shameful that
they still have their No, there's no good use for it. It
doesn't work. It's bull crap. These guys who are two who are
who are stopping research, and they still haven't allowed
research in United States, the woman said herself, and we're
not going to get it legalized in the United States in general,
we'll get it legalized a world over and then you can deal with
it. I mean, this is absolutely shameful that these are the our
leaders that have done this to us.
You recall that that was that when they just started with the
with the new White House website. And the President was
doing live tweets. Remember that? I think we wasn't even
with Jack Dorsey. I think that maybe first President to do a
live tweet session. And
well, they also had that sign up. And if we get so many
signatures, you get a write petitions. Right.
And the number one, two and three petitions were all about
legalizing marijuana. And the President laughed it off if you
recall. Yep.
Yeah, yeah. And he smoked dope. He should be ashamed of himself.
This is for a number of reasons. But yeah,
now I have one last couple you want to play this is actually
explaining the endo cannabinol system within the within the
human body and what might make why this stuff might actually be
beneficial in certain situations,
still Dr. Meshullam prep Ston gradually writing the scientific
textbook on marijuana. But for years he did not fully
understand how and why cannabis works in our bodies. And then in
the early 90s, he had a eureka moment.
THC mimics compounds which we make cold endogenous
cannabinoids, which our brain makes our body makes. THC mimics
their effects. All this is called the endocannabinoid
system, and this endocannabinoid system seems to be extremely
important. Here's how
endo cannabinoids work in our nervous system. The nerves that
form the electrical grid of our body are not continuous strands
of fiber. Instead, there are many gaps in the wiring. The
nerve ends are called neurons. The gaps synapses, the
electrical current is transmitted from neuron to
neuron across synapses, by chemical messengers called
neurotransmitters. The volume and route of these signals
determines what we are thinking, what we perceive and what we
feel. Our body generates cannabinoids to help regulate
the flow of these neurotransmitters. Scientists
suspect the active ingredient in cannabis THC can either increase
or decrease the flow of the neurotransmitters and this can
have all kinds of impacts on our physical state of being
the endocannabinoid system is involved in essentially all
human diseases. Oh there you have it. Good
report. John. I like that very good report. What was this on?
Where Where do Where do you get all these on
NPR? I'm sorry, PBS NewsHour. They've been running a marijuana
thing every couple of days. They give us this long report. I
think this is the end of it. And it was very positive. Which
makes me wonder about the K two report being negative for a
reason either to counter these reports or to enhance them
that's why I was right you know interested in the K two
situation with a 33 because 33 the magic number shows up you
know some bogus about this so I'm still
very worried that you know, what will wind up happening is the
government will will have control it you know, so the
pharmaceuticals can make lots of money with it the beauty of of
course, a plant that is nicknamed weed is you can pretty
much grow at every level we eat and I have to say by coincidence
the other day I found about seven seeds in my in my bag,
which you don't get that anymore. Yeah. Oh no, you know
do not get seeds yet but they sell seeds
you can buy seeds
Yeah, but I got them for free was in there was in there was a
package deal was fabulous. But you know, we're looking at
genetically modified wheat, all kinds of stuff. So thank
goodness, if you got seeds, hold on to some. I mean, screw the
the one acre crisis garden, you know, before we really need to
have an aerosol seed yet heirloom seeds because the
minute they start removing the minute Monsanto owns it, then
it'll be a very big problem. And that can that can only be the
that's the only thing that must be thinking of. And
I agree with you that but I think it's I think I think it's
too late. And I think the other thing you said it's a weed, it
grows like he grows everywhere and it grows easily and it
doesn't take a lot of effort to grow this stuff. And people grow
it. And now that you have Oregon, Washington, Alaska, I
think and Colorado, completely legalizing it and going through
the process despite the bullcrap stories about all this traffic
wrecks. Yeah, people are gonna die a dog ate my pods. Gone die
the cat. The kid ate my chocolate, and the kid ate the
chocolate. He's all stoned. We had to take him to the hospital.
All these bullcrap stories that keep coming out, it's too late.
Well, the good news is, if this value for value model doesn't
work out, we can always go back to the seeds. Yeah, I'm going to
show my school by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
Well, we start with a few people to thank including right at the
top of the list Jason from Canada, in Jamaica, even though
he says Jamaica, New York here we came with $101.01 and he says
Hey guys, Jason from Canada you read my name on if you read my
name on the show, it's truly the best podcast in University of
pretty much ruined me for other podcasts. But I think that
probably is true. I work in the media industry and your analysis
is so spot on. It's frightening. What's more, is that I can no
longer talk about anything political with my friends
without being labeled a racist, homophobic or cisgender
conservative. Hello and welcome to The Club. Last May, last May
has been Emilio. This is Jason says Jason is probably somebody
else's gotta be nice as Jason says all cares gay punch me in
the mouth and I've been an avid listener ever since it's good we
need this as the audience we need we've been doing long
distance thing for almost two years now no agenda one of my
one of the shows we stay close to even though we're very far
party celebrating its 32nd birthday on the 14th I like to
add him to the J birthday list he's on he's the love of my life
and I want him to know he's means a lot to me. If you could
d do show us both. Some jobs calm I'd really appreciate the
jobs karma. You've been
de Deus of course a de Deus. Now, but I'm confused as Jason
he's talking about his husband Emilio but he's being labeled a
racist, homophobic cisgender conservative. I don't know if
he's gay, and he's being raised, labeled a racist homophobic
cisgender
does that surprise anybody? No,
no, it doesn't. What am I thinking? Of course not.
Name Calling name calling name calling. I do appreciate people
who realize what we're doing on this show is a value and and you

Miramar Beach, Florida turning 29 on July 16. And we say happy
birthday from all your friends here the best podcast in the
universe. And no nice things. No title changes, no nothing else.
I have a couple of clips as we wind it up. For today. It's kind
of under reported. But of course there was so much going on with
the black, white and blue. Ashton Carter, our Secretary of
Defense announced something and
I'm pleased to report today in that connection that we agreed
for the United States to bolster the Iraqi efforts to isolate and
pressure Mosul by deploying 560 additional troops in support of
the ISF. And especially at the ER West Airfield. And with these
additional forces US forces I'm describing today will bring
unique capabilities to the campaign and provide critical
support to Iraqi forces at a key moment.
Yeah, fine. Yeah, it's like, Hey, over there. Yeah, yeah, put
your hold it up like that and pull the trigger here. 560 extra
ones this of course, it raised some questions in the State
Department. Wait a minute. Do we have mission creep?
It was done in full consultation and coordination with the Iraqi
government. All of our troops in Iraq are there at the invitation
and the support of the Iraqi government that won't change
with this additional deployment?
What do you say to critics who are saying this is definitely
mission creep? Because what what kind of role I know you might
follow me to the Pentagon with my what kind of role they might
play in?
I'm gonna refer you to the Pentagon. But listen, it ain't
mission creep if the mission ain't changing, and the mission
is not what
he says. It ain't mission creep. If the mission ain't changing,
I'm
gonna refer to the Pentagon but listen, it ain't mission creep
if the mission ain't changing
what is its why and all sudden these DS like on the streets it
ain't baby it ain't it ain't it ain't it ain't Wow
well you have a percent a bunch of just send some troops this
shot this what you want to see mission creep you're gonna see
this one go South Sudan Oh,
yeah. Oh my goodness. Which one which which clip on South Sudan
CBN.
There's a there's two Yeah, one is about the voice. Play Wait,
wait. Play I just played this is a South Sudanese accent and I
recorded for one reason only can I do as an African I've always
thought it was be good to do an African accent not for racist
reasons. But just because it's a funny accent. And South Sudan
accent play this clip.
The gun shoes were too much. So we we we got confused the people
who are running that time since since that Saturday till now.
The bullets are the shooting even at night we see the gunfire
the bullets on the on the end or in the in the air moving in red
color. So we are afraid even we fear to go back.
Now, Trevor Noah, he's himself that he does when he does, yes.
But when he does stand up, he does all the voices of Africa.
Oh, that's great. And He is hilarious because he nails these
voices and he goes from from culture to culture. He does all
he can do that voice. But anyway, let's play here's the
clip. South Sudan CBS Thank
you. In an important developing story. 47 American troops have
been rushed into South Sudan to protect Americans and the US
Embassy. It was five years ago that the US brokered a deal that
created the world's newest nation, splitting it from the
rest of Sudan. But civil war between rival ethnic groups
flared again this week the UN says more than 4 million South
Sudanese are threatened by famine. Where's Clooney? You got
some what was the distraction feeling
4 million what happened to his eye in the sky project?
4 million are threatened by famine. So they did a wonderful
job in South Sudan creating the country and then abandoning it.
Well, and this ethic thing is really Muslims versus
Christians. From what I can tell it's,
this is all about oil at the end of oil, the story oil, the all
the oil, they created the state that they have to send the oil
up to Sudan to the North for it to be refined. And this is, who
knows, it could be the Chinese call causing crap this all you
know, I had a took a ride Austin from the airport, which actually
works pretty well. And the driver was from Libya. And I
didn't record it. But you know, when the drivers from Libya? Oh,
wow, this is great. How do you feel now that you know we ruined
your country? No, he had a very interesting take. I says, Man,
you know, things weren't great under Qaddafi, and Libya, Libya,
people in Libya need to want it themselves. This is never going
to be solved. It's going to take beyond my lifetime. He says the
whole problem is OPEC divided up all the oil in the eastern
region of the country. So you know, it's Georgia, and it's the
Saudi Arabia, it's all the all the countries all divided up.
And so that's the whole business and says, As long as they're
holding on to the oil, the country can never recover. Wow,
it's pretty interesting. He wasn't mad at Hillary there. He
said, Now we only have ourselves to blame,
you know, well, good. Yeah.
People are hating us. However, Richard Stengel, who is
Undersecretary of State Public Affairs, he was on a show that
back if someone sent me a link to this, I was watching it. And
he explains why ISIS finds such an audience in Middle Eastern
countries, and you're all the people the only thing you forgot
to throw in was climate change. But this was an interesting
little, little exchange. I don't
think it will come as a surprise to you, Congressman, or anyone
on the committee that in, in many of these places where
they're searching out sympathizers there, there's high
unemployment, there's lack of education, there are governments
that don't necessarily value free speech. So there's there is
this market of unhappiness that exists already. I think now,
because the digital caliphate is shrinking. They are they're
looking for for people who have mental health issues, who are
psychotic. And they are trying to pinpoint those. But whoa,
whoa, whoa, hold on a second. That's right. That right there
is interesting. He says the digital caliphate is shrinking.
And so now they are looking for mentally unstable people. Yes,
that's exactly what he said. You missed that when you clipped it?
No, I heard it. But I just that's not even the big. I'm
just like, wow, that's what you're going for from? I didn't
think the digital Caliphate was waning.
I didn't either. I think we're all aware that in terms of that
the Muslim world, there are places where there are unhappy
youth, although I'm happy to say the Burson Marsteller poll that
came out a couple of months ago shows that 80% of the youth 18
to 24. In in the in the Middle East completely reject ISIS
ideology, even if they became non violent, there's terrorism
that goes by many different flags around the planet, not
all, not all terrorists
and get up backing up backing up, I wanted to What was that
number I missed a number youth 18 to 24. Back, back, back,
back, back, back back back back. The
Burson Marsteller poll that came out a couple of months ago shows
that 80% of the US 18 to 24. In the in the Middle East
completely reject ISIS ideology, even if they became non violent.
There's terrorism that goes by many different flags around the
planet. Not all television, not all terrorism is is ISIL based.
In fact, one of the things that you hear you hear
that's the one that I wanted, that is and this fits into the
theme of this whole show. He and He I live watched the whole
thing. He didn't come back to it. But this was a slip of
Freudian slip. He had television on his mind as the reality of
what these guys consider to be reality. That's how I
deconstructed listen again,
I suppose ideology even if they became non violent, there's
terrorism that goes by many different flags around the
planet. Not all television. Not all terrorism is is ISIL based
and what do you think? I like it.
What was he what was on his mind? He was thinking
television. I'm inflate
one more time. 1/3 time who to turn one more time. To see if we
can really figure out what he would do. What's he talking
about?
completely reject ISIS ideology, even if they became non violent.
There's terrorism that goes by many different flags around the
planet. Not all television. Not all terrorism is is ISIL based.
In fact, maybe
he's saying not all terrorism is tell is is meant for television.
Well, that he was going to dispense would have gone. Not
all television is ISIL based.
And we noticed that yeah, we know for a fact that most
television is ISIL based.
I don't know. That's crazy.
All television all television is terrorism based maybe. I don't
know if there's definitely
something there. Maybe one of our producers can come up with a
deconstruction we can
I suppose ideology, even if they became non violent, there's
terrorism that goes by many different flags around the
planet. Not all television, not all terrorism is is ISIL based.
In fact, one of the things that we've seen with the metastasize
ation of ISIL, is that it's become a brand of convenience
for people who have grievances that have net not anything
necessarily to do with ISIS ideology. And I should have said
this in the answer the first question, one of the other
misconceptions is, is that that ISIS content is all negative and
filled with headings, we estimate that 80% of their
content is positive about the beauties and the joys of the
caliphate and the duty of every Muslim to go to the caliphate.
So for many people, it's an actually an inspirational
message.
So inspirational.
Yeah, let's chop off ahead. Yay. Yeah. Well, I only have one clip
then. And if you're gonna wrap Yeah, I got one more but yours
because mine is is is reportedly funny. Okay, so
then I will leave you with this. This is your democratic your
Democratic Representative from New York. If you live in New
York, Crowley, and, of course, you know, with with Dallas, and
we needed we need to we need to get rid of guns, and how are we
going to do that through background checks. Now? A
background check, which of course, background checks are in
place, you have federal background checks. What exactly
do they test? Well, we know that if you have a history of
domestic violence or other issues with law enforcement that
that's a flag. But I was unaware that this is the actual thinking
of this, Congressman, is what he really wants the background
checks to do. And we've been talking about this have been
have have been harbingers of things to come. And here it is.
Once this guy gets into some Bill writing, this is what
you'll see issue
of gun violence is not going to go away. We know that. We just
know it. This could very well be a very hot summer. We don't know
what ramifications will come. hard to predict. But what we do
know is that there will be more people killed by guns and people
who ought not to have those weapons, because a thorough
background check was not in place to make sure that people
who have mental incapacity who have terrorist thoughts who have
criminal thoughts or records or, or behavior that would lead law
enforcement to deny them access to those weapons. That's what
we're looking for. That's what the American people are looking
for. Before it's crime.
It's pre crime.
You have criminal thoughts on no gun for you.
Criminals, thoughts? Yes.
Criminal thoughts. But you got to think the guy believes this
that a background check involves probing your mind for criminal
thoughts?
Yeah. hypnotizes you if you get criminal thought, well, now you
got a stupid thing like that. I have a different clip. It was
stupid. It wasn't stupid. I want to play. This is No, I mean, no,
no, there was a stupid
guy. Yes, yeah, of course.
This is another one. This is Allison, the the congressman,
that Muslim congressman is all in for Hillary as part of the
DNC platform committee, and he says this.
Now politico talks about the language adopted in the
platform. They describe it as sharp language on Wall Street
reform. What does that mean? Congressmember Ellison?
Well, I think that they don't really appreciate the fact that
the role of Wall Street is to take people who have money to
invest and put it into businesses that need the
investment. That's what they supposed to do. That's all they
supposed to do. But what they've done is used that intermediary
role to reap massive profits for themselves and to put the
economy at risk and You know, there is this philosophy that
any regulation of business is somehow interfering with this
sacrosanct market concept, and should be discouraged. I
disagree with that entirely. Hmm.
He says, and they're showing, well, they're showing a trading
floor of the New York Stock Exchange. I think he actually
believes that when you buy stock, you actually get some
stock. When you buy stock that that money is going to the
company. Really, if you listen to the beginning of what he
said, The reason for Wall Street is so you may hear
it again. Now, Politico talks about the language adopted in
the platform. They describe it as sharp language on Wall Street
reform. What does that mean? Congressmember Ellison?
Well, I think that they don't really appreciate the fact that
the role of Wall Street is to take people who have money to
invest in put it into businesses that need the investment. That's
what they supposed to do. That's all they supposed to do. But
what they've done is used that intermediary role to reap
massive profits for themselves and to put the economy at risk.
Oh, man, he's a congressman.
Yeah, he's Ellis and he started Muslim guy from
from Michigan was Lamia. God
that's insane. As I just doesn't understand how it works, he
doesn't have a clue as clueless and insane and
he's a man he's a congressman making laws. Okay. Well, that's
the reason for the efficiency government as you want it. Okay,
so the clip I have that's the last clip for me. I'm done is
Cameron gave his last Prime Minister questions thing
Wednesday night. And it was a lot of jokes and, and tears. And
I said, somebody mentioned I was like, a stand up routine, you
know, and I noticed he has a certain cadence when he answers
questions, somebody asks him stern question, and he always
answers it. Well, a good honourable gentleman is right
when he says this is but the Labour Party has never done a
good job about that. And we've done a great job. And
furthermore, you guy wears red sox. And then he gets a laugh at
the end. It's always it's the same structure. Yeah, but so he
got a show. I said, Well, this supposed to be funny, this whole
thing. I found one funny bit, I have to say it's kind of
amusing. And I thought it'd be a way to end the show. This is
Cameron and this is his last time we're going to see him as
prime minister. And this is his last appearance. And he got a
standing ovation. And everybody had a great time. And, and this
was the only joke I thought, worth clipping.
I think we're all still a bit shell shocked. But I think the
main change has happened in lesson three.
This is in camera, you get the British ambassador this and
this. This guy.
I'm sorry, which clip? Is it? Then last of Cameron gag? Okay.
One day I'll explain why that's difficult. But I
believe that politics is about public service in the national
interest. And that is what I've always tried to do. This session
does have some admirers around the world. I remember when I did
his job, and I met Mayor Bloomberg in New York, and we
walked down the street and everyone knew Mike Bloomberg,
and everyone came up and said, Mayor, you're doing a great job.
No one had a clue who I was until eventually someone said,
Hey, Cameron, Prime Minister's questions. We love your show.
Okay, it was good. Man. I really love your show, baby. Yeah,
that's how we are in America.
Cameron. Exactly. And I think it was another slight slight
towards it. Yeah, dumb Americans all they can think of
television. I saw when they were leaving. I did see a moment that
I liked. As they were getting into the car that kids were
getting the car then his wife had so much empathy for him. She
was stroking his back, you know? So this guy hit him hard. I
think it hit the family hard.
It was really deep probably did.
It was really beautiful to see that you don't see that was a
real tender moment. Unlike a George Bush who clearly has been
smoking Kay to know I'm telling you, George Bush, did you see
him swaying during the services with
goodwill and I didn't watch
that. And he was Hi, I'm telling you cocaine. Cocaine guy was
high. It's possible and I feel bad. I feel bad. He just he
looked like an idiot.
If anybody wants to read the light reading read the Glennon
stuff. But definitely if you want to read something funny on
Wikipedia, because I decided to look it up as he came out of
number 10 downing to be replaced. Number 10 downing is
the other Wikipedia entry page that is well worth reading. This
place was built in the 1500s and has been under threat to be
destroyed. Because it's a piece of crap building. It's a
security nightmare reading they've read. Well, they've been
fenced off the area and so it's not so bad. And that door by the
way, it takes eight people lifted solid steel and the
bricks didn't use Everyone should go read the wiki page on
number 10 downing alright bricks you know that side says brick
building it's all painted black as that will join the one of the
cameras gonna take those to his new house like the brick join
one of the
reconstruction one of the piers where they rebuilt the building.
It's 100 is 200 room room house and meeting rooms to enter rooms
at the Brixton they started taking the paint off the bricks
were originally yellow. Oh, and it turned out that so much
pollution for so long from this. The sweat coal burning the coal
burning from all those years turned in Britain black and they
decided to hell with this just paint in black because that's
what everyone's used to seeing. Never restored. Yellow. Very
funny stuff.
Well be fun to have Boris Johnson now is the foreign
minister. Yes, that will be great. Yeah, good times. Fun
stuff happening. Fun stuff happening.
Okay, that's good. As far as I can go.
And well, we'll have more for you on Sunday. Please support
us. Remember I said the vorak.org/na it is the value for
