Yeah, you'll see. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, February 2 2017. This is your award winning
combination media assassination episode 900.
This is no agenda,
sign signs everywhere this signs and broadcasting live from the
darkest corners of the United it's here in downtown Austin
Tejas capital Goldstar statement in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where Berkeley got burned down
almost Well, not quite out should have been. I'm John C.
Dvorak. Buzzkill, the
Dow. Oh, yeah. Well, you see, there's
a little bonus for the people listening on the live stream.
Yeah,
there's there's a definite bonus to listening.
I don't want to tell you this. I don't I know I don't want to I
do your business. But you had a leak of your phone line.
Accidental lime. So I'm sure yes. Onto the stream.
No, you're kidding me. How can that be?
I was unbelievable. You should have been there.
I was watching the news. It's all over the world. For those
who have not listened to the live stream, just as we're
getting to start, I get a call. Clearly a solicitation. And
actually, where was it from that said there? It was from a boiler
room you could tell it was boiler room. Just want to see
what it said on the cuz it said
to these guys, while you're looking that up? Yeah, the ACLU
has gotten, who organized all these protests over the weekend,
largely to get more money, they have now gotten more money in
their coffers than they've ever seen before.
And I donated to ACLU last year. And it was partially because it
was one of those, you know, when I was doing the kind of looking
at these people on the street here in Austin, when they say
oh, we're from Planned Parenthood or from Save the
Children. Oh, from the ACLU. But they're not they're from they're
just college kids from a local organization who then sends a
portion? You know, I guess they take a fee. And maybe Yeah,
maybe. And so this guy calls and, you know, thanking me for
my donation. And then he just he just starts hammering with, you
know, the administration want you know, hates gays. We're
gonna get rid of health care. Get rid of women's health care.
LGB. He didn't have a team there, shooter, bring it up. Oh,
and I said, Well, why are you organizing protests? I don't
like it. Well, we have to tell you lawyers like that. But
anyway, maybe I'll cut that up, and we'll do something with it.
Maybe you had it recorded? Good. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Of course. I did. Hey, John. So yeah, you mentioned in
the opening there about the protests in Berkeley.
Well, first, that congratulations on show 900 Oh,
I
almost forgot. Yes. Congratulations.
Oh, that little horn. Oh,
I have a horn here somewhere. No, no. You know, I was actually
getting the horns ready when that guy from ACLU called. I
know. All right, everybody. Congratulations. Show number
900. We love to celebrate, we love to celebrate. Now, since
you were at Berkeley is like pretty much where you live,
right? Yeah. I thought we'd do a little live report.
Let me think if I heard one. Good luck. Actually. I could do
one but I think the crappy one that CNN did.
Well, I want I'd like to compare well, we'll do CNN first and
then we'll see if we can get our special correspondent on a live
report. How does that sound?
Okay, you can get me on all right. What
is the what is the clip from CNN?
Let's see. It's it's just a CNN Berkeley show the word Berkeley
in there.
Yeah, wish it were that easy. I don't see it. Actually. No, I'm
just saying I don't see it. I don't see Berkeley or I don't
even see CNN in there. And when you went to me, did you not? Did
you not send it?
I know I sent it. It's not here. You're here. I promise. I didn't
have my clips in front of me. I do. Okay, Milo.
Oh, yeah, it would it say I'm sorry, Friday, Donald Trump
as much about the White House as much about Steve Bannon as loose
about this individual speaker. You mentioned that he was
talking about he was tweeting about free speech. That is
something that is this is the birthplace of the free speech
movement from the 1960s. So it's what you hear from people here
is that they want to hear diverse opinions. What they
don't appreciate about Milo Yiannopoulos is that he is a
troll. He's an internet troll. He makes fun of overweight
people he picks on lesbians he uses language that is extremely
offensive to a lot of people. And to the student groups I've
talked to they say that they have to feel like they need to
protect marginalized groups. And so this was what they this
wasn't exactly what they wanted, but a lot of the students said
they wanted to stop him from speaking by any means.
Or Keong. I want you to stand by and we're gonna move on So those
pictures again this is coming out of UC Berkeley. There was a
speech that was scheduled there it has been cancelled because of
this violent protest that is Berkeley
not the ground zero of free speech, John, am I supposed Am I
missing something?
I will say why don't you okay here? I'll be the interviewee
you can call you can get a hold of it. You've got some
background noise. Well,
we're gonna go now live to Berkeley where the situation
seems to be getting a bit out of hand. John C. Dvorak. John.
John, can you hear me? What did you What are you learning? Yes,
John, what are you learning?
Oh, it's a huge mess here. What's happening, apparently, is
that the students are sick and tired of anyone telling them
anything except Hillary.
Talking Points, Jeff. John, John, John. John, you're good.
You're breaking up just a little bit. Are you safe there, John?
I'm barely safe. Because they're beating up anyone over 40 years
old. This is
John. John. Have you seen Milo anywhere the instigator of this?
Understanding and our reporting indicates that Milo is dead.
All right, John. Thank you. Thank you for that reporting.
All right. Be safe, be safe. Be safe. As John C Dvorak
out at Berkeley. Not bad. Not bad. Wait until you hear the
mix. It's pretty good.
Let me be okay. With the noise. It's good. Yeah. Well, this free
speech thing is dead. Now.
I'm gonna just bury this free speech thing. Alright. It was a
good little thing we tested for a couple 100 years.
And it's no good. No, it doesn't prove protect marginalized
groups. According to the CNN woman. Also, he makes fun of fat
people apparently and are hurt and
lesbians and he's a troll. And lesbian. Yeah,
he's gay. By the way. Why did you stop she says
that you should have said he's a fag. That would have been even
funnier.
He they lit up the administration building. Yes. In
gay colors. And gay coloring books for this guy. Rainbow.
Yeah. And I think you could have taken the same report. And in
fact, let's do it. Let's do another report on the different
angle.
Okay, along a second. Where's my you there? Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm
just getting my sound and your stuff together. I gotta get the
sound effects together there. All right, we're gonna try it
again, everybody. We go now to Berkeley, where our man on the
scene is John C. Dvorak. John, what are you learning? You're on
John. You're on. You're on.
Adam, can you hear me? Yes, Berkeley. Protests against the
gay community has been begun. There's rioting there's been
throwing all kinds of bottles are busting up the place because
Milo whatever this last night,
John, John. John, where do you think this LGBTQ Q AP hate comes
from?
Not sure because the bay area is known for its kind of diversity
and it's a tolerance but there is some anti gay group here that
is the wrecking the place to be quite honest about it. I guess
they hate gays a cow. I don't know. I don't know when this
began or John I don't know.
John as a as a Muslim. Are you afraid there? Are you? Do you
fear for your life as a Muslim?
If I was gay, I would.
Thank you very much, John. Stay gay. Stay safe. We could do this
now.
That's pretty much the same as the nudist gave
us exactly. Yes, he did that. That would have been just as
just as battle interpreted
that way. I've never seen that building lit up with the gate
colors. It
was pretty. Yeah, I thought that pretty. Wow. Yeah. You know, in,
in Euro land, they're also protesting Trump. It's around
the world as you know, I don't know if you've watched TV
according to my UCLA guys.
Watch a lot of TV apparently. But with that ACLU
why don't I put that whole call at the end of the show? Just as
an extra bonus, or just it's gonna be long now. Well, but the
answer at the end of the show it's after the show's over pause
and then a whole extra bit.
Maybe like okay, let it also go next week and they show I mean,
now it's true.
In Brussels, I mean, in Belgium and Antwerp also big protests
very novel. It's all because of
Coca Cola nearing coffee had ceased in Oakland, Andhra comedy
Council products to me.
I'm sure you couldn't understand that because it was Flemish but
you could cafes are now refusing to sell Coca Cola as a protest
against Trump.
No biggest international corporations in the world all in
on globalism picked the wrong candidate Donald loyal whatever
I love it is it's hilarious everyone is freaking out. And I
was glad that Matteo my nephew was here for the week. I didn't
have much time to, you know, I would check in with stuff every
once in a while, like, no change. Still, it's still nutty.
Everyone's still crazy look at the face Bagga. Actually, here's
Chris Matthews, who claims that all of DC is in trouble.
Donald Trump is tonight conducting a campaign of shock
and awe against this country's institutions.
Shock and Awe that's right just does a lot of these memes that
are being brought in which they have a couple more later on. But
shocking. Oh, that was our first attack on Baghdad. There were no
not Baghdad. Was it Baghdad, it was Iraq, Baghdad, Iraq and all
it was 19
they could throw it they could throw a carpenter tools.
Shocking all Oh, very funny. Yeah.
Donald Trump is tonight conducting a campaign of shock
and awe against this country's institutions. He is on offense
and a capital city not used to being suddenly thrown on
defense. The capital of this country is suddenly bound up in
fear, rage and unbalanced wondering if this new president
accepts any limit to his power. Is he ready to attack the media?
mock the Democratic leader the Senate accused the acting
Attorney General portrayal seize power over immigration policy
and push the Republican Congress to new the breaking point the
answer to all these questions is a resounding yes, he is yes, he
is. Tonight. Within this hour, we hope to know who Trump will
put named as the decisive member of the United States Supreme
Court where the only branch of government over which he has yet
to grab control, control the political and legal cancer and
wake up President Donald Trump's executive order of last Friday.
The president yet to incent to announce his choice to fill the
vacancy in the Supreme Court and just an hour from now.
He came for your pussy and he grabbed control.
Oh my god. Unbelievable. Now it's fantastic. Actually a good
clip. It's Phantom is a panic. Crazy man. I was worried about
them shutting down MSNBC, maybe if he excites people, they'll
keep the network going.
Yeah, actually have a second clip just because we're on him
because he mentioned the Supreme Court. You remember when Rachel
Maddow and Chris Matthews, both MSNBC had this big elaborate
setup, where he first asked Trump a hypothetical about
abortion, and if women should be punished, which Trump completely
blew. And oh, yeah. And you know, that is now you know, he
wasn't
he was in his own world answering that question. You
could just tell he was thinking about something else thinking,
what am I doing on here? Yeah, they should all be punished.
Well, it doesn't matter. He screwed it up. And it's now it's
the chickens are coming home to roost. But the setup at the time
was that happened? You remember Rachel Maddow opened her show
with I had to run back to Hillary remember that. But then
I had to show her this tape as soon as possible so that we
could then get a response. And it was a beautiful setup. And I
think that was must have been 50 shows ago. I don't remember
where it was. It was a while but now Chris Matthews, who knows?
Really well that he there was a hypothetical and he set trump up
is using this as ammo with the CEO of Emily's list. And of
course again, Emily's list stands for easy and early money.
What was it easy, easy money.
Easy. My is lost his life
is like yeast. Oh, it's not? The acronym stands for easy money is
like a yeast. Sorry, that is the that is true.
There are so many issues that affect us are affected by the
Supreme Court. Of course, there's LGBT issues. There's
women's issues. Of course, generally, there's voting rights
issues. There's, there's Citizens United and this guy
could work for the ACLU. That's exactly what that guy was saying
to me on the phone
about government money, money going into government elections.
It's every issue you could have for voting against somebody, it
means you'd have to be homeless for all those issues on that
person's side to vote for them. It just seems to me the onus is
on the person who wants to get confirmed. It's much harder to
get from firm to not confirmed your thoughts.
Well, I think that's exactly right. I mean, what what we're
looking for I mean, even at Emily's list is we're gonna have
a hearing. We've got a lot of questions. The American people
have a lot of questions. Trump made it clear that he was going
to appoint a judge for this position that was going to
dismantle Roe v. Wade, that alone.
I don't think I haven't heard I heard that I'm going to get
someone in there who will dismantle Roe v. Wade, I haven't
heard that. In fact, I've heard the opposite
which will come in a moment is a huge question. That is the law
now listen to Matthews use his own trap, which was well set up
to as ammo against the precious
land it is settled law. And we need to know as as women and as
families in this country where he stands on that but also on
voting rights, civil rights, workers rights, what he's going
to do with corporate America there's a lot of questions here
stupid a human I know each other and we also you also know what
Trump said when I asked her about abortion rights and women
and he said in his first impulsive answer to me, he later
cleaned it up. Women should be punished.
So hold on a second Chris Matthews. He's impulsive answer
was because it was a hypothetical. And then he later
cleaned it up because it was a hypothetical and you trapped him
and you trapped him good. But you're being a little dishonest
here by saying why just just wants to punish women, sir,
to me, he later cleaned it up. Women should be punished. And
yet everybody saw that everybody in America probably saw that
comment by him. And he was
oh, they didn't know how to second he thinks people does he
think watches his stuff.
He thinks he's all that and a bag of chips. Now. Everybody in
America is I'm Chris Mallory solid.
Everybody in America probably saw that coming by him and he
won. What do you say to voters out there that led to win and
supported a guy who said something like that, given the
Supreme Court nomination coming up?
Yeah. I mean, he also talks about a Muslim ban and people
around the country voted for him didn't think there that was real
and look at what we're dealing with a Muslim ban. Oh, really?
This is exactly.
Doing what he said.
I'm pretty sure it's not a Muslim ban.
That's I think that's a lot of voters. And you can see already
with his disapproval numbers over 50 that this is not where
America is.
Let's flashback briefly to hear what the President said about
Roe v. Wade punished. I
was asked as a hypothetical, hypothetically, hypothetically,
you screwed it up, what IP laws are
set now on abortion. And that's the way they're going to remain
until they change. Because you had said you want it. You told
Bloomberg in January that you believed abortion should be
banned at some point in pregnancy? Where would you live?
First of all, I would have liked to have seen that, you know,
this be a states rights I would have I would have preferred
state right. I think it would have been better if
it were that, by the way is his real answer consistently,
because I looked at a lot of different clips to go back and
make sure I wasn't listening with bias at the time. And he's
very consistent about he would like that to be a state's issue
states rights, which by the way, the ACLU doesn't seem to
understand that some things are just left to the states in
general to the states. No, they don't want that. No, of course,
they don't want that with no nations, no.
National Government, you don't need the states rights, the 10th
Amendment should be tossed. And it's also mentioned in the
Constitution, the 10th Amendment just reiteration. And because we
need it, we want everything centralized. So that way we can
better integrate. Centralization makes it easier to integrate
into a one world government. I don't know that I'm gonna pound
on this drum. But I'm going to do it again today. Yeah. But
again,
I think that Roe v. Wade, is pretty solid, because it's about
the privacy of a woman a woman has rights, like a man. And it's
about her privacy. And, and I don't see how that can come into
play. And I think it will, I think it will stay in law. But
let's listen to the final 30 seconds here and see where would
you live? First of all, I
would have liked to have seen that, you know, this be a states
rights I would have I would have preferred states, right? I think
it would have been better if it were up to the states. But right
now the laws have set and that's the way the laws up how they
should change. There's a lot of laws you want to change. You've
talked about them on everything from libel to torture, anything
you'd want to change over this moment. The laws are set. I
think we have to leave it that way.
Mass Murder abortion.
I have my opinions on it. But I'd rather not comment on you
said you're very pro life for like, abortion is murder. But I
mean, I do have my opinions on it. I'd rather I just don't
think Oh, come on. But you don't disagree with that proposition
that it's worked for opposition to abortion is
murder. No, I
don't disagree with
all right. So there's a stance, but he's very clear that the
laws are set. Laws are the laws. Yeah. And it really doesn't
pertain to, to what is being talked about in my professional
legal opinion. As you know, I'm a lawyer.
Indeed. Okay, well, let's go to the Gorsuch thing since you
mentioned it, you're gonna have to do what because the Schumer
and the Democrats even though gorgeous, Gorsuch pretty much
matches all the criteria although he's definitely a
conservative. The Democrats are gonna vote no, and this is gonna
instinct to the nuclear option, which
was I wanted to say something about the headlines everywhere
are Trump says go nuclear go nuclear, which of course is you
know, is very, you know, it's like it's playing on people's
fears about nuclear war. It is called the nuclear option that
is a congressional term that has been around for a long length.
Yes, slang decades and decades, if you don't mind. Before you
start off, I want to play the genesis of this quote, which was
not Trump's quote. It was a a journalist who asked him a
question, and Trump foolishly Of course, you got to learn how
memes are made. He doesn't understand this very well. He
could do so much better if he if he launched the right memes. We
don't need them to get too good. Okay. Well anyway, as you
pointed out last night, which was confirmed by unanimous voice
2006. Now a number of Democrats say they're going to oppose,
what would you say to those Democrats? And would you
encourage Senator McConnell to vote the nuclear option if he
feels he can't get 60 votes?
Or is it the the journalist says the nuclear option? And this
quote has been turned around to Trump saying go nuclear?
I think there's a certain dishonesty. They're saying go
against it from not very long ago. And he did get a unanimous
endorsement. And he's somebody that you can do better from an
educational from an experience for many standpoint, a great
judge would be a great justice. So no, I feel that it's very
dishonest to go back there. And that and, yes, if we end up with
the same gridlock that they've had in Washington for the last
longer than eight years, in all fairness to President Obama a
lot longer than eight years, but we end up with that gridlock. I
would say, if you can make go you're here, because that would
be a absolute shame. If a man of this quality was caught up in
the web, so I would say it's up to match.
So, go nuclear is your way you know, I have a note a
programming note for sweaty Sean Spicer. Get the camera clicks
out of the shop sweaty, just
ready, Sean, that's what he shot. Good does appear to be
sweaty,
get the cameras, I'll get that shutter sound out of there.
There's no need for it. It's 2017 They should be silent. It's
annoying. Unless they like if it was plenty
of mirrorless cameras that are professional that can be used
for these advanced you don't need the shutter. Are they
using hustle blogs? No, no.
DSLRs make a noise.
But that's digital, is it not?
They have a shutter and they slap a mirror that makes that
noise. But the mirrorless ones don't necessarily make so much
noise. Yes, they have a shutter, okay. It's not like they turn
the sensor on and off. It has to the sensors will open it's lit
lit and then the shutter goes past and then the light hits
hitting in the shutter closes. makes a noise not necessarily a
lot of noise as much as you're hearing. But some of them are
pretty noisy. Yeah, we're just going to have a window here in
our shoulders, then you know, it's a fake.
That's good. We'll just have a during our show. Fantastic.
Yeah, it was. So you have somebody's room there.
Yeah. Hey, excuse me. That's my bad side. All right, let's get
into Gorsuch.
This is disregard your clip kind of incorporated, but not too
much. So this is the controversy. This is just
Gorsuch, I think is that what it says it says gorgeous
controversy. Yeah, that that would be
on the right. The Judicial Crisis Network is spending $10
million on advertising targeting Red State Senate Democrats like
West Virginia's Joe Manchin, met with Gorsuch Wednesday. We have
a lot to talk about, to try to get to know each other arguing
for his nominee President Trump said if Democrats filibuster
requiring 60 votes to end debate, Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell has an option. I think
there's a certain dishonesty. They're saying go against it
from not very long ago. But we ended up with that. Greg Lowe?
Say if you can go nuclear.
Now under this so called
New Well, that's actually a good clip, John, because it it shows
how, what is it? CBS Yes, shows how CBS edited out. It's not
that important. But all they have is him saying go nuclear?
Right. Whereas the question was about the nuclear option. And
it's a little decision about that.
Now under the so called nuclear option, Republicans would change
Senate rules to do away with filibusters for Supreme Court
nominees. Scott, that would mean they could confirm Judge Gorsuch
with the simple majority vote.
Jim Crawford for us tonight. Jan. Thanks.
Thank you.
Now, what's interesting about that clip is the night before
that was I think Wednesday. On Tuesday, they did the same
story. They by the way, as you watch these network news, they
do the same story two, sometimes three times, same story. They
don't even mention that, as you know, they don't even refer
back. But the night the day before they they added the
little factoid which they dropped from the Wednesday
story. Oh, and the factoid is, is that the nuclear option was
instituted in 220 13 by the Obama administration. That would
be no good. And but it was it was it was targeted. The Obama
administration was having trouble getting some people
confirmed and then we're talking about people on the in the Inner
Inner Circle in the White House. Like a departments secretary,
something like that, right. So they push that through. They
didn't put Get through first Supreme Court justices, but they
pushed it through and it was, it was pushed through in 2013. And
they, they knew at the time that this would could cause problems
down the road. And this is why also, when you have somebody
like Jeff Sessions, who's getting no support from the
Democrats, he's just getting through and the they could
filibuster that before 2013. But after 2013, they can't, because
the Democrats pushed the nuclear option. So now the Republicans
are going to do it even further, which means this whole 60 Vote
thing is gonna go by the wayside. Probably
true democracy majority rules, is not what everybody wants.
This is what democracy looks like,
the reason you wanted the 60s because 60 with the, with the,
there's ways you can cause if you have don't have 60, you can
you can call for a cloture or something that because you want
you don't want is a guy going up there and, and getting a hold of
the floor, depending on the rules of the day, right. yakking
away and filibustering for days on end as far as until he passes
out. And you just don't want that. Because it's just it's
inconvenient to say the least. So they're gonna probably,
luckily, there's this pressure group that's putting pressure on
on what's called the, excuse me, a red state Democrats, Democrats
who are in office, but they're in a dry, right, they need to
support this otherwise they could be voting, they're gonna
get voted out. Okay. And so they're probably for you. So
they gotta get so they'll get a few extra votes. And that way,
they won't do it. But if they don't, and Schumer is all gonna
we're not gonna give him any votes. Schumer is the being the
big a hole here. And he he will maybe encourage this to happen.
I'm not sure it will, but it might and then they just vote
anybody they want in and the Democrats can't do anything
about until they retake the Senate, which won't be for the
campaign for at least two years.
The interesting thing about this candidate for the or appointee I
should say for the Supreme Court is that President Obama, then
Senator, Chuck Schumer, Dianne, Feinstein, Wyden, and Biden,
they all voted to come he was already he's already been
confirmed once by Senate, which makes that choice, an
interesting choice, because it makes him look like a bunch of
hypocrites. He wasn't good. He was good then, but he's not
good. Now, NPR, bastion of left talk on the wasn't Tom Ashbrook,
the onpoint program that a guy on who knows a lot about
Gorsuch, his history, and his particular as it pertains to
immigration, and I want to share that report. And the question
is if somebody goes to court, should judges say, Oh, well, we
defer to the executive, the executive knows best, and we're
going to stand back or just the judge. Say, as Judge Gorsuch
said, the judge has an obligation to take an
independent look at the law and decide whether this executive
agency, this executive order this exemption, actually is in
line with the law. So I actually think that's a view that many
Democrats and liberals should be pleased with. He announced this,
by the way in a decision explained it in a decision in
August, a case involving an immigrant and the there had been
two rules under immigration law. One was that if you came across
the border and required, you couldn't come back for 10 years
and apply for any lawful status. This fella had a family in
Oklahoma, there was another view part of the law that said, the
Attorney General can always grant discretion to somebody who
has ties to the United States. The law was at that time in the
10th circuit, that the immigrant could make this plea for
leniency. But the immigration agency came along and changed
the rule and said, This guy, you're out. You have to stay out
for 10 years. Neil Gorsuch in the 10th circuit overruled the
immigration authorities ruled for the immigrant and said, in
part of his opinion, this violates due process of law to
change the law on this person, this immigrant, when he's in the
process of II thought the law was on his side, the government
can't do that. And it also says he said, if this was the law,
the government in the face of shifting political winds could
change the law against disfavored minorities. Now, in
my opinion, that's exactly if you were a lawyer. That's
exactly the thing about last weekend, last weekend, you would
want that on your side saying the government can't change the
rules suddenly and hurt all these people. It's a violation
of due process of law. So in my opinion, that's actually a good
opinion for liberals and Democrats going forward.
Doesn't sound too bad. Sounds like the guy might have some
fairness in them. He seems like I
think he's probably a decent choice. I mean, I didn't think
the other guy was bad until you told me he was The gardener
whatever his name was, yeah,
let's call him gardener. Yeah. Yeah, that guy. Well,
so they they're just bitching. They did. In fact, I think it
did this clip here. I think it's it says Senate convention. I
think this clip kind of summarizes things. This is a
clip that includes miscellaneous. No, no, no, no.
Oh, man.
I see. I got a clip from EU parliament.
No, no, it's just a local. I want to get to that as soon as I
can. Yeah, I
got some of that too. Well, while you're looking for that,
here it is. No, I don't have it. All right, while you look for
it. Of course, what happened immediately, the minute This was
announced protests everywhere, protests, protests, protests.
Are they organized? You Bet Your Life they are. And they're so
poorly organized. This is again from NPR on the media. Senator
Ben Sasse, SAS sheshe. from Nebraska. Notice something
interesting about the protests in DC
there are indications Nina Totenberg, our colleague is
reporting this that based on his record, he has a different view
of Federal Regulations, he may want to strip a lot of federal
authority to make regulations which previous conservative
justices had approved. I know you don't want this to be about
issues, but about the law. But how would America be a different
country in a few years if this man's judicial philosophy
prevails?
Well, I don't know the answer to that. And I don't think we
should want to know, because I think what you're saying is what
will be the policy implications, and the justices job is to wait
and look at the cases that come before them. For instance, when
circuits are split, so let's back up to what Chris said for a
minute. First of all, I should say, I've ton of respect for
Chris Coons, I like the guy a lot. I think he has a ton of
integrity. I think the words radical departure are fairly
stunning when he just said that he hasn't really read many of
the opinions that he's just started looking at him it's
feels a little bit like Senator Schumer yesterday, before we
knew who it was going to be already was preparing talking
points to say the guy kicks puppies and you know, probably
heckles piano recitals. And I went out last night, I was on
the Hill last night, I went out to the Supreme Court, because I
knew there were a bunch of protests happening. And I wanted
to talk to the people. I wanted to hear from them. Why are you
protesting? And I don't mean to be dismissive. But when you get
to the steps of the court, and all the people there, not all of
them, but the vast majority who were protesting. This is a
terrible nominee. They had signs that said, on one side opposed
at the top half, and on the other side, hashtags stop at the
top, and the bottom half was blank. And then they had magic
markers. And they were filling in Gorsuch. His name is they
began to protest. Tell me what's wrong with this guy? And they
said, Well, his opinions are atrocious, effectively. Have you
read any of them? And one of the guys looked at me sort of stone.
I
said, Well, who you'd ask me that question. I love this
story. Got to stop you there. Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska.
Thanks very much. We'll
continue the conversation. Thanks, Dave. I love how that
had to be interrupted. I'm sorry. Great story. We got to
stop the great story about the
protests on the media. We've found them to be very slanted.
Fortunately, fake or fortunately, is fortunately the
best, though. The best comment about Supreme Court came to us
on C span. The call in show the Washington report. Producers of
the no agenda show this is this is like shooting fish in a
barrel. There's so much you can do so much promotion, so much
fun stuff you can do now you will get cut all cut off as this
woman who calls in and she reminded us of something and I
had to go and look it up to see if there was any validity to her
accusation,
Asheville, North Carolina Republican line.
How are you? Good morning, sir. Good morning, your gentleman
from Bloomberg in the comment about Judge Scalia. And he said
something very strange. He said it is. It was strange and
unexpected. The death of Scalia in an election year. It could
have been any other person from the SCOTUS better group of nine
of them. My problem is that when they downloaded the WikiLeaks
emails, I read all of them. And there is one particular one from
Podesta to a source telling him it is time to assassinate
Scalia. No autopsy was done on Scalia. He had sleep apnea. He
had to go to a hunting trip, he should have taken the machine
with oxygen is necessary because my husband has the same
condition. If he fell asleep without the mask, all they had
to do was with the mask on all they had to do was coming to his
room, press the green button, and in less than an hour, he
would have died of natural consequences. And that is a
subject that has never been spoken, identified or is already
investing gated
statuses and Conrath Carolina. And
so I went back and look and this refers to the wet work at the
vineyard email. The exact quote from Podesta is didn't think wet
works meant pool parties at the vineyard. And the theory of
this. Now what works? Of course, that mean what works. There's
pretty much only one meaning for that, as far as I know. And that
is a assassination term. And it says meant cool part is the
vineyard, the ranch where Scalia died, has quite a vineyard. This
fact that is a vineyard. That's a ranch vineyard Cibolo Creek
Ranch. So I just thought that was interesting. I hadn't
connected I want to hear your vineyard. I think Martha's
Vineyard. I hadn't connected that to to the ranch.
No. She's talking about a CPAP machine.
Yeah. Just press the green button, you die.
Well, you press the green button, it stops it, I guess.
And then you're done. Well, if you had a real problem, I guess
it could happen. And you're not supposed to. It's less than
magic button, it's less
messy. Avoid see paps, and small aviation and hot tires.
Thomas Friedman, just a little clip. He was on AC 360. And he
was going on about stuff. And I just thought this is just a very
small piece of what he said. But I just thought it was
interesting how he just kind of added a you'll see
making people afraid of Muslims making people afraid of
Mexicans, making people afraid of trade, and globalization. And
then presenting Donald Trump is the man who will protect you
from all of that. And frankly, it worked. That's not to say
there aren't real issues around this, you know, Islam has issues
with pluralism, okay. Trade has cost some jobs. What do you say
about Islam?
It's against pluralism, pluralism, multi CultI, and all
this crap that we're all for multiculturalism and all are
plural, you know, having anything other than Islam. Yeah.
Your Islamic your, you know, you think everything should be
Islamic and everyone should get in line, but that that was the
least of it. To me. It was Yeah, free trade has cost a few jobs.
And last show, we talked about six over 600,000 jobs, which I
guess is a few to freedom. He doesn't care. He's got his
little cushy jobs in New York Times. But I just thought this
was just Cavalier I have to say yeah, free trades cost a few
jobs cost a lot of jobs. All countries got no manufacturing
left. Would we have plenty of manufacturing, but there's not
what we're used to.
I'm I've been triggered and I'm outraged. I cannot believe that.
My social justice warrior friends did not celebrate an
incredibly important day worldwide was not mentioned here
in the United States, of Gitmo nation. It was a big deal. And
I'm sad that that it was skipped and I think there should be
hearings about it.
Muslim women in Bosnia have been encouraging women of all faiths
to dawn, a headscarf. It's all in aid of World Hijab Day, which
aims to show solidarity and promote tolerance. Many Bosnian
women in Sarajevo were protesting against the ban on
hijabs in certain countries for manipular. I'm not intimidated
by the ban. We've known for some time that there's an ongoing war
against Islam, automatically. There's a war against women
wearing the hijab, because the hijab is part of Islam, Islam.
Unfortunately, throughout history, there were times when
Muslim women wearing the hijab had problems and right now we're
under scrutiny, so we must remain positive. While some
European countries have banned hijabs in public places. Certain
countries including Iran, Saudi Arabia and Sudan require women
to wear headscarves outside of their homes.
I can't believe that was not celebrated. Yeah, we're all
here. But a perfect opportunity to I think it was suppressed
Well, Tina and I celebrated World Hijab Day. You know bet
she did. Yeah, she she asked my permission to go to the grocery
store to drive
Did you know she doesn't go with any alien man you have
permission to drive give him permission to drive I know I've
royalty job they got to do it once in a while.
So there's a lot of action in the EU and I would get a kick
out of some of these things I picked up from the parliament.
Yes I to watch some of that. I do get the Boris Johnson
back and forth with his own people and other everybody else
about the passports UK passports. Where else is
settled? Well, I actually have a small clip of Chloe Smith coming
into parliament. I say to the honourable lady, don't be
sheepish about it. The little
baby is welcome to come in. There's no problem.
Chloe Smith brought her baby the This this was so important.
Yeah. And they made they made a big deal of this in the UK.
Bought a baby into parliament. Oh,
so here's Boris Johnson and I put this clip. I actually saved
it for some moment when somebody doesn't know what they're
talking about, because apparently people in Parliament
don't know what they're talking about. Boris had to straighten
them out. Is the foreign minister. Yes. Who would who
talk to the to the United States about what the deal was with
this executive order about banning certain people from
certain countries. And you could tell that the people in
Parliament themselves didn't know what the heck was going on.
And I thought this straightened everything out, at least from
the UK perspective.
This is, of course, a highly controversial policy, which has
caused unease. And I repeat, that this is not an approach
that this government would take. I spoke yesterday to the US
administration. And my Right Honourable friend, the Home
Secretary has today spoken to General Kelly, the Secretary of
Homeland Security, the general principle is that all British
passport holders remain Welcome to travel to the US. We have
received assurances we have received assurances from the US
Embassy, that this executive order will make no difference to
any British passport holder, irrespective of their country of
birth, or whether they hold another passport. But let me
conclude by reminding the house of the vital importance of this
country's alliance with the United States. Would he
perhaps tell the house the when he intervened in Washington? Was
it through the State Department or the president's son in law?
Firm surgery?
Great. Question. What happened there? I didn't quite understand
what happened there.
Okay, so one of these jokers who's also a conservative, which
I find to be weird, a prop cropped up as a joke and said,
Would you was it you talking to Homeland Security or or Jared
Kushner, president's son in law and so so. So you went back and
then made a little light of it. And by the way, he is the Home
Secretary, but he does this. This is his job.
I'll finish it up.
I'm grateful to my own for that. But I'm sure that the House will
appreciate that. We we have very good relations at all levels
now. With the US government my my Right Honourable friend, the
Home Secretary herself has had an excellent conversation today,
with General Kelly, the home security department, Homeland
Security Department confirming or confirming the very important
exemptions that we've achieved for UK nationals of visual
National Ski fast. Mr. Speaker, I'm
sure that the three members of this House were born in Yemen
are grateful to the foreign minister for allowing us to
travel to America. But the position that a British citizen
who happens to be an aid worker in Yemen, or has visited Yemen
for humanitarian purposes, they are caught by this ban, because
the United States will not allow as I understand that he may have
other information, those who visited or worked in Yemen, even
though they're nationals of Britain to visit the United
States.
I'm Rachel, remember for when I know that he was he was born in
Yemen. And I know that there must initially have been in his
mind some anxiety about exactly how he would be how he would be
treated when he to go to the to the US I'm happy to say that he
will face no obstacle, whatever, because he's a UK passport
holder, and normal any UK aid worker in Yemen? Because that is
what we've achieved.
Oh, well, that would be logical. People understood. The
whole thing is I and by the way, I'm sorry. Boris Johnson is the
foreign secretary and he was referring to the Home Secretary
was sitting next to
you kind of moving into the, into the travel ban, which I'd
like to do. And then I'd like to finish up before the break. Do
you have more?
I only have one more thing from this from these folks. And it's
just an analysis of I finally kind of got the pattern down for
how Theresa May deals with Jeremy Corbyn.
Oh, yes, I saw I saw some of this. That was pretty cool,
actually.
Well, here I just want to do a little deconstruction of her
style. And this is actually a pretty good clip. But what your
Corbin just mostly for American and British heels. I think the
reaction probably half the British don't know this either.
But at the beginning of the Prime Minister question time,
he's that he's the leader of the leader of the opposition that
Labour Party Labour Party. Yeah. And so he gets X number of
questions. I think it's either six or eight in a row. And so
she's she comes up and makes a statement. Then they call him
Corbin. He gets up and says something nasty to her. She says
something nasty to him. He says something nasty to her. This
goes on for a limited number of time. And that the very end, he
gets his last question and she gets her last digs in. Now, when
Cameron was the running the show, Cameron was funnier than
she is. And he would have kind of punch lines and one liners
all throughout the back and forth. She's tried this, but
Corbin apparently has better comebacks. So she stopped doing
it. She was she will make a snide remark once a while but
she doesn't try to be funny like she did her first couple of
times. What she does now is she saves the final punch line for
her final word. So that's her last word. And no one can retort
he can't
get up again. He's done right. So then they go to the general
house and then they start asking random questions. So so this is
an example of her you know, this was pre written and she's all
and is because the thing is staged anyway. But I have to say
her, she does finish well with a good killer ending to this back
and forth and he courses the Labour Party is all in on
staying in the EU and screw Trump. Mr. Speaker,
speaker that includes not having US healthcare companies coming
in to run any part of our national health service. Mr.
Speaker,
make it better.
President Trump has international agreements on
refugees. He's threatened and dumped international agreements
on climate change. He's praised the use of torture. He's incited
hatred against Muslims, he's directly attacked women's
rights. Just what more does the President Trump have to do
before the prime minister will listen to the 1.8 million people
who've already called for his state visit and invitation to be
withdrawn? The Right Honourable gentleman's foreign policy is to
object to and insult the democratically elected head of
state of our most important ally. Let's just see what he
would have achieved in the last week. Would he have been able to
protect British citizens from the impact of the executive
order? Would he have been able to lay the foundations of a
trade deal? He has got a 100% commitment to nature. Labor has
to offer this country less protection for British citizens
less prosperous, less safe. He can lead a protest I'm leading a
country
now when I heard that, the first thing I thought is I didn't it
doesn't really lend itself for a full on treatment. But the first
thing I thought was this he
can lead a protest
She is right. She's getting the hang of this and this is her new
style and she's doing it very well. Yes. And and this guy's
gonna have to change his approach. Well, I
have a number of clips at first I have a CBS. That's a short
package about the general anti Trump sentiment in the European
Union and in UK,
not just crowds that have poured onto the streets of Europe are
angry with Donald Trump. Welcome
pretty pathetic, violent. Refugees Welcome. Welcome.
The disenchantment has now reached the highest levels of
European politics. Along with the menace of Vladimir Putin's
aggressive Russia, and China's military buildup in the South
China Sea, and militant Islam. Donald Trump's United States has
become a threat to Europe. According to Donald Tusk, the
President of the European Union's most powerful body,
we cannot surrender to those who wants to weaken or invalidate
the transatlantic bond, without which global order and peace
cannot survive.
What frightens the EU is President Trump's support for
the British to leave expressed to Prime Minister Theresa May
and for other countries to follow that and his perceived
lack of commitment to NATO? And now the refugee
All right, the refugee ban is what they're calling it, which
is also not what it is. Here is a lie. Yeah, it's a lot more
guarantee. Mogherini Mogherini is the new head of Foreign
Affairs for Starfleet Command there in Europe. She replaces
the no neck monster. Remember her? Her name again? Yeah,
Ashton at Baron Nash Ashra. So Mogherini underlines us up in
opposition to the Trump travel ban.
The US foreign policy chief has underlined opposition to Donald
Trump's controversial travel bans saying no one should be
deprived of their fundamental rights.
The US Department of State's has clarified yesterday that the
citizens of the European Union will not be affected by the ban,
even if they hold dual citizenship in one of the seven
countries listed in the executive order. We welcome this
clarification. But let me be absolutely clear. This does not
change our overall assessment about the executive order.
One top EU officials said Trump is part of a multi pronged
attempt to undermine the block.
We have the autocrat. Putin will want to defy to ropey if
President Trump will have a populist nationalist view and
want to disintegrate us. We have to track of the radical Islam
Mr. In the south and we have for bunch of people who will want to
destroy
inside the European Union. He's pointing it to Nigel Farage when
he says that we can do one thing that
is unite us fight back as the European Union.
Nigel Farage was tackled in Brussels as he defended Trump
over halting refugee admissions and temporarily barring people
from seven Muslim majority countries
with all the anti Trump rhetoric that is coming from everywhere.
Actually, what we're hearing is the true nature of the European
project, which is genuine anti Americanism.
And amid the claims of discrimination, the EU itself is
currently working to curb the flow of migrants and refugees to
its soil. Oh, no. Some members already having put up fences.
What is so beautiful about what we're seeing right now? Is and
of course this is brought up continuously it is it is no
longer useful as an argument when you say, Yeah, but Obama
said Yeah, but it's no longer useful. Because people just
don't hear it anymore. So I thought it would be good to go
back in time. I would like to take us back. Hmm. Let me see if
I can set the machine here. I think we should set it for 1995
hoppin john. John, how you doing? Welcome the 9095
You know, looks a lot like 9096 to me.
Well, it's yes, you're right. A little bit. 9095 We had a State
of the Union. From President Bill Clinton.
Well, that's funny. Why? Because I thought it was 9096 96
but I'm the horse like we were in the wrong wrong here. Hold
on. Just a brief hop. We're in 1996. John, how you feel now?
Oh, man, it's a lot better. I got changed my shoe style. You
know those? Yeah, I feel good.
I want you to listen to the xenophobic, anti immigration,
anti everything horrible douchebag of a president and his
immigration plans are triggering me
all Americans. Not only in the states most heavily affected,
but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by
the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The
jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or illegal
immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our
taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved
aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record
number of new border guards by deporting twice as many criminal
aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring.
By barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I
will present to you we will try to do more to speed the
deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes to
better identify illegal aliens in the workplace, as recommended
by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara
Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a
nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self defeating, for a
nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our
immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do
more to stop it.
I'm so surprised he used the term illegal aliens is
triggering me. They're not aliens imagine.
I'm sure there's going to be a lot of protests over this
racism.
It's not that they're not aliens. They're people. And
Barbara Jordan had something to do with this because she's a
black woman in Texas be more sympathetic blah. I
got one from Texas no less. Oh my. Well, I
think we better get back to scrap scrap
for it always makes me a little nauseous.
Now before you get to the I don't know if you have it
because I know you're on a roll here. But before we get off the
EU's moaning moaning and groaning Do you have Ted
meloxin? Clip?
Wait, I have something about Moloch not his Well,
here's I got him actually, I'm talking this is the this is the
RT report this Donald Tusk again bitching and moaning about us.
But it turns out to be a lot of this stuff. In fact, what you
just played before Clinton is based on this this guy and I
like it. Love the name. Moloch. Is the ambassador. I'm sorry.
The ambassador to the to the EU, from the US of the
Trump employ in the ambassador to the UN.
No, no. Oh. asador to the EU. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, got it. The
ambassador of the UN is that woman?
Oh, yeah, that's. Yeah. Okay. Yes, yes. Sorry. Moloch. Okay.
Donald Tusk report. Based on this little ditty.
The EU faces a new threat. That's apparently Donald Trump's
America. And the warning comes from the European Council
councils president, Mr. Donald Tusk.
Well, ring declarations made the New America administration all
make our future highly unpredictable. So many are
becoming openly anti European, or Euroskeptic. At best.
Particularly the change in Washington puts the European
Union in a difficult situation.
The European Union in the United States had been the best of
friends for so long. step onto the stage. Donald Trump is the
president and we're hearing these words from another Donald
Donald Tusk, the European Council President not pulling
any punches with what he has to say. And it looks from the
European side as if they feel that the biggest threats they're
facing a Russia and China in the East Islamic State and Islamic
extremist terrorism in the south, and in the United States,
in the West pretty much surrounded as long as they don't
annoy any polar bears. But how would we handle this situation
where we've gone from seemingly one end to the other? Well, a
lot of it can be seen from just the reaction to a statement on a
British TV show, like Donald Trump's preferred candidate to
be the ambassador to the European Union had in
a previous career diplomatic posts where I helped to bring
down the Soviet Union. So maybe there's another union that needs
a little taming
we need we need a picket that we need. We not enough picket. who
shouts for us?
Yeah, that's that's a no, that's not that he did the spaceports.
Yes, we'll think about it.
We need it's gonna be great.
But he says this is what caused his brow.
It's Fletcher
Fletcher. Yeah. Fletcher. He said it off handily. While I
was, I guess it was in bags and ambassador or something to
Russia and Soviet Union. Yeah. And he brought it. I brought it
down. I think this other thing might might go. I think that was
just thought that was hilarious. Oh,
yeah. I thought they were discussing Moloch actually, when
I cut into this next clip, again from Chris Matthews, because he
was pretty funny. He was all he was all triggered. He's speaking
with Howard Fineman of WaPo
John WaPo. Yeah. WaPo Doctor bla bla bla
bla Ba, ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Whopper Whopper Whopper,
Gregory Porter's, to tell me what this means in history right
now. The fact that seven countries have been targeted by
the new president. You can't come here for three months for
Christmas means
that Osama bin Laden his whole theory of a war of the west on
Islam now gains.
Great Creedence. Thanks
to what Donald Trump Seders. Now. We are the Crusaders
officially in the eyes of Islam. At least that's what that's what
Osama said. That's what Donald Trump has done. This is the
reaction that Osama bin Laden himself
would have prayed for and he died for it. This is what he
prayed for him
died for this is this is 911 15 years later.
Oh, now, I'm not going to
just pathetic I will. First of all, keeping somebody from
coming in is not the same as going on a crusade. I'd say that
this this kind of attacking Libya is a crusade that was a
hell of a thing. I think trying to get involved with the Syrian
thing that's kind of a crusade. I think starting a war in Iraq.
That's kind of a crusade but blocking entry. Beef is anything
but I was blocked
entry to the European Union. It's a crusade and I had a valid
passport to crusade
you couldn't even get in. Once you tell that story once again,
European Union Brussels particularly passed a law in
2013 for the Schengen area, which excludes the United
Kingdom specifically that your passport must be valid for six
months after you are scheduled to leave the country zone. And
mine was valid for three months and two days and I was refused
even to board the plane. Because they decided to enforce this
just overnight. They said, Oh, we're just we're enforcing this
now. I didn't know it doesn't matter. So they got they got
their own ban. Here is gypped that's what I see. I got totally
gypped and Airbnb gypped me too, because I cancelled and they
Yeah, they gave me like 80% They too. They kept 20% 20% of your
money. douchebags. douchebags. And the guy whose apartment he
was a Dutch guy. Yeah, my Hey, man. No, I'll come and say your
place again. We have sent me some money back no. Bull crap.
Okay, our brand new Secretary General of the United Nations
Antonio Gutierrez Gutierrez. It not as funny as monkey moon,
sadly. But he did weigh in on our US travel ban.
In my opinion, this is not the way and it was very clear in
this statement. This is not the way to best protect the US or
any other country in relation to the serious concerns that exists
about possibilities of terrorist infiltration. But I don't think
this is the effective way to do so. And I think that these
measures should be removed sooner rather than later. That
was the appeal I made. I think that those measures indeed
violate our basic principles. And I think that they are not
effective if the objective is to really avoid terrorists to enter
the United States.
So I guess they're trying to ramp up there. Our terrorism is
important, because that was one of the main problems that we
have
here is a clip with Mike Morel followed by another CIA guy,
followed by Chuck Schumer. This is Mike rail leads charged to
condemn Trump, I think
the order is going to make the threat worse, it is going to
make us less safe.
So it doesn't, it doesn't make the threat any less. While at
the same time it's playing right in to the ISIS narrative. This
makes us less safe. There's
no question in my mind with anyone involved in law
enforcement, anyone involved in international security considers
this an order that makes us less safe. This will make us less
safe. John McCain is exactly right. It will encourage lone
wolves here in America. They are they've created most of the
terrorism. The biggest problems we've had with terrorism are not
from these countries.
I finally saw the movie that's from I didn't realize it. Okay,
a couple more clips before we get into our break. Let's hear
from an actual lawyer. He's not necessarily a constitutional
lawyer. But Alan Dershowitz is a lawyer. He's a divorce lawyer,
isn't he? And his main thing? No, I
thought it was a civil rights attorney was a divorce lawyer.
Well, who knows? He's had professors what he is, well,
he's on
with Erin Burnett. And here's his opinion, he
doesn't think it's constitutional, that judge after
judge is ruling in that direction where the words that
he used, of course, the different rulings have been
regarding detentions and green card holders and various other
issues. Do you agree that it is not lawful? Or do you think that
given the wide parameters, the President of the United States
has to set these sorts of things that he is within his legal
rights?
Well, I think it's some some of its constitutional Some of it's
not constitutional. For example, there is a statute that limits
the president's power and says that visas may not be denied on
the basis of religion. Is that statute constitutional? Or is it
a claim on presidential authority? These are very
complicated legal issues and people shouldn't jump into them.
You know, we have a hobby in this country. If you don't like
something, you assume it's unconstitutional. Even my
colleague, Elizabeth Warren, pointed to a part of the
Constitution that says no religious test shall ever be
required. But she didn't read the second part of it for
holding of office under the United States government has
nothing to do with visas. On the other hand, the First Amendment
says, Congress shall make no law. So it's a prohibition on
congressional action and presidential action. I can teach
a whole seminar on this subject. It's very complicated, very
nuanced, and we shouldn't get political about it when we're
talking about the Constitution.
I love that's true, though. That's such a thing in America.
It's unconstitutional man,
that constitution constitutional dude,
I didn't want to just highlight a couple passages from the entry
ban executive orders when I'm calling it that now. are not
discussed anywhere just some things have highlighted. Okay,
such as the following paragraph. In order to protect Americans,
the United States must ensure that those admitted to this
country do not bear hostile attitudes towards it and its
founding principles. The United States cannot and should not
admit those who do not support the Constitution are those who
would place violent ideologies over American law. In addition,
the United States should not admit those who engage in acts
of bigotry or hatred, including honor killings, other forms of
violence against women or the persecution of those who
practice religions different from their own, or those who
would oppress Americans of any race, gender or sexual
orientation. Nice to see that there's a some thinking about
sexual orientation in there. This will end in three months. I
mean, there's reports that are due within 60 days here after
the 60 day period described in subsection D this section
expires the Secretary of Homeland Security in
consultation with the Secretary of State shall submit to the
president list of countries recommended for inclusion on a
presidential proclamation that would prohibit the entry of
foreign nationals however, there's a lot of stipulations
for nationals traveling on diplomatic visas and NATO visa C
two visas, G one G two g three G for all i will have no problem.
And here we go realignment of the US refugee admissions
program for fiscal year 2017. This is the this is the refugee
portion. The Secretary of State shall suspend the US Refugee
Admissions Program us rap for 120 days. During the 100 day
period, I thought it was 99. We're talking about 90 but
that's that's not the refugees the refugees is 120. During the
100 to 120 day period, the Secretary State shall in
conjunction with Secretary of Homeland Security, but review
the US rep application and adjudication process to ensure
that those approved for Refugee Admission do not pose a threat
to the security and welfare the United States and shall
implement such additional procedures. refugee applicants
who are already in the US rap process may be admitted upon the
initiation and completion of these revised procedures. And
then very specifically, upon the resumption of us rapid missions.
So they're the route they will resume under the resumption. The
Secretary of State and then it goes on with the Secretary State
House to do so they do plan to start it up again. And then I
guess this is the legal ease pursue, and this is why the
President thinks he can do this, pursuant to section 212 F of the
IMA eight USC 1182. If I hereby proclaim that the entry of more
than 50,000 refugees in fiscal year 2017 would be detrimental
to the interest of the United States and thus suspend any such
entry until such time I determined that additional
admissions would be in the national interest. So there's a
cap I haven't heard anyone talk about the cap actually. But the
50,000. And here's what
is the cap that Hillary wanted to raise to 500? Yes, correct.
Correct. Now, here's,
here's what I've always been saying is the only problem and
it's just been held up with you know, bogus companies doing
crappy work. Section seven, expedited completion of the
biometric Entry Exit tracking system, as the Secretary of
Homeland Security should expedite the completion and
implementation of a biometric entry and exit tracking system
for all travelers to the United States as recommended by the
National Commission on terrorist attacks upon the United States.
That's the thing we've needed is to know when people leave or
obviously if they don't leave, it's that simple. And then,
regarding the visa interview, the security of the Secretary of
State shall immediately suspend the visa interview waiver
program and ensure compliance with section 222. Both law which
requires that all individuals seeking a non immigrant visa
undergo an in person interview subject to specific statutory
exceptions. So it looks like the Visa Waiver Program may go away.
And you will have to get a visa in person. Poland, still no
change for you. We really don't care about you. Okay. Now back
to back to the media. Jake Tapper had on the guy that we've
played a couple times on the show, who now apparently is
assistant deputy to the President Sebastian Gorka. We've
liked what this guy had to say. And he he kind of, well, I think
he bought slammed Jake Tapper.
And I'm sure you've seen the reports of people who were
negatively affected by the executive order on Friday. I'm
sure that there are some that we talked to one yesterday, and
Iraqi who's now in this country who said exactly what you said.
But there are also a lot of people who say, you know, I've
gone through two years of vetting and then all of a sudden
I can't come or I'm a refugee. What am I going to do some
people who have sold all their belongings? Certainly there's
another side to this. Look,
I am an immigrant, Jake. I chose this nation. I'm a proud
American. My parents were refugees from Hungary. Yeah, who
escaped a dictatorship. What happened to them?
My parents were vetted for weeks in a refugee Camp, not for 60
seconds by some ins agent or a member of the State Department
online for weeks to determine that they truly were persecuted
and escaping that dictatorship and didn't pose a threat to the
UK. That's extreme vetting. That's taking national security
seriously. This is simply about protecting Americans, nothing to
do with religion, and nothing to do with xenophobia. It's about
national security,
the refugee program, the vetting is 18 months to two years,
the length of it maybe that's paperwork, that's process. I'm
talking about the inner areas, counter intelligence,
questioning, making sure somebody's story is accurate.
The absurdity under the Obama administration, that you're not
allowed to check somebody's public Facebook postings,
because that's against their privacy. Hang on. American
citizens don't have their Facebook posts protected from
anybody else reading the system is broken, Jake. It's broken. It
has to be fixed. We don't want to see a Berlin here. We don't
want to see people mowed down as they were in nice happening
again in America.
Row. Yeah, gee, I didn't know that. Yeah, Ellis Island was
also months people on Ellis Island.
Do the same thing over here. Angel Island on the West Coast.
Now. Then, I'm wrapping it up here. The
I have one thing to add to your whole thing when you're done.
While you want to do it now.
Okay, let's play it. This is just a little side thing because
he's cropped up. I think he's going to run for Senate or
something because he's a pullet. Politician. But I thought
cousine EJ had a pretty good straight up kind of analysis of
most of this.
Okay, let's see what he had to say on Fox News.
Dennis considered very liberal guy said this. Let's face
something here. Donald Trump didn't create these wars. Wars
create refugees and President Obama, both in in Syria and in
Lebanon, has backed conflicts which have created refugees. So
that's something that if he if he's involved in the debate, he
should have to answer that miscue said he joins us now from
Cleveland. So we both agree that President Obama is partially
responsible for the refugee credos, but you're coming at it
from a different point of view than I am. So just explain your
point of view for us why I'm opposed to US intervention ism,
it cost our nation nearly $6 trillion. Since 911. We have a
right to defend ourselves. But look, Iraq, that was President
Bush's watch, create an enormous amount of refugees, Libya and
Syria create a lot of refugees. That was President Obama's
watch. Rich, if you don't have words, you don't create
refugees. So you know, there has to be some responsibility has to
be taken by biocat by the President.
And boy, I'm glad he didn't become president that horrible
Republican. He's not on our side anymore. He's no good. I thought
the the Academy Award without a doubt has to go to Chuck
Schumer. Senator, crying thing. You know, it was more than that.
If you looked at the whole, the whole sequence. He brought out a
Muslim family. This was great. So the Muslim family has the
husband I presume. And he's dressed to kind of jeans, denim
jacket, you know, but like, kind of like construction site type
garb with a baseball hat and his sunglasses on top of his
baseball hat. Then his the wife mother wearing a hijab, but they
had two kids, and they had red hair, like orange red hair. And
I was very confusing to me. So I don't know if they were hurt
kids. But yeah, I guess it was the show. Hey, Muslims come in
red hair. Variety. I'm not sure what it was. And for those who
didn't see it, Chuck Schumer started to cry. While he was I
mean, he was so and I gotta say, it seemed pretty. It was good.
He looked really emotional. And whatever he did to bring in
Chuck Schumer is a hard ass man. You would this something you
don't expect from his?
Oh, yes. I just wanted to this is also scriptural. And we have
this. Oh, I'm
sorry. Before I get to the crying part. He did something
that I saw the professor on face back. Do I think I mentioned it
to you. The professor is now quoting scripture, the preferred
the Obama atheist constraint he's quoting scripture
for Well, here's Schumer doing the exact This is a meme,
obviously, because I first saw the professor do it. I think the
idea is, maybe I can appeal to the assholes this way. Because,
you know, all Republicans are, you know, they clutch their guns
in their Bible. Maybe if I show them the Bible tells them wrong.
Maybe they'll change their ways. Yeah, that's it. You got it
really, really creepy.
Oh, yes. I just wanted to this is also scriptural and we have
the support of so many of the religious leaders of every
different faith throughout the country. Exodus 20 to 20. It
admonishes us not to wrong or oppress a stranger, for you were
strangers in the land of Egypt. Matthew 20 Five, in the New
Testament, I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was
a stranger. And you invited me in. And I'm reminded of Pope
Francis, who asked us in terms crystal clear,
I think it's here, the Pope Francis, that's where he starts
to crack up a little bit. And for summary, Pope Francis, this
is very interesting, how he got himself so emotional about this
crystal clear to, quote, confront the reality of those
who have been displaced by force with effective projects and new
approaches, in order to protect their dignity, improve their
quality of life, this is the pope speaking.
And here's here's here's his crying bit, which is just
fabulous. How he does this, this executive order
was mean spirited the way that created chaos and confusion
across the country, and it will only serve to embolden and
inspire those around the globe, who will do our breaths are
going to introduce legislation to overturn Chuck Schumer
crying,
excellent.
I wish I could say production. I wish I could take credit for it.
This is Hassan Maynard. He sent me a version which was wrong.
And he was so cool. I said, Dude, you got to do three times
the course you got him start without the music, then the big
payoff at the end and he did it. I was white for sleeping in the
bedroom. Yeah, it was fantastic. So I'm gonna give him a little
point. Point there. Like that one. Well, it's with that. I
would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
to you, John. constitutional lawyer. Divorce in
the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the morning all ships
and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air and subs in the
water and all the Dames and nights out there.
Yes, in the morning to everybody in the chat room. Welcome to
episode number 900 of the best podcast in the universe. Thank
you all for being here. Sharing your one liners, helping helping
helping Very good. This is how we like to see it. And of
course, thank you to our artists always coming in with fun stuff.
I'm sure we'll have a lot of things to look at today. I want
to thank Martin JJ. He brought us the artwork. For me it was
Episode Eight Niner Niner. And the title of that show was a
loyalty test. The artwork in case you missed it, you can
always go to archive.no agenda show.no agenda notes.com. Here
it is. Oh, that was the warning your universe may change. That
was the street sign was nice.
I also want to thank PewDiePie he's the one who produced the
show 900 artwork for the newsletter. I don't always
credit this. But but if you saw it, it was a fractal.
Yes, yes. I can't find your fractal. Now it's a fractal. A
fractal show 900. John, we've done 900 of these.
Oh my god,
we never had a fight. It's amazing. That plenty
of fights. So let's thank a few of these people who are thanking
us for doing this show. For a date, we heard your buddy
Benjamin over there in Austin compliment the show for Being
Well done. Dan, Ben,
there's quite good. Oh, nice.
I have a clip of it. But we can play the keyboard Jimmy has put
in what are you talking
about? Were you talking about? He was on a podcast? Who was
Benjamin Benjamin? Who? Dan Benjamin? Oh, and was talking
about us? I didn't know about this. Oh, I've thought
everyone knew about it. You want to play it? It was a good intro
to the
let me see. I don't think I've heard this. I see the clip
though. And
again, I think that's why more and more people are wanting to
do things with with listener supported shows. And And again,
I'll point to Adam curry and John C. Dvorak snow agenda,
which is a program that I truly enjoy. A friend of Adams, I've
known him for a number of years. He's here in Austin. And, you
know, they're they're able to both make a nice living and do
their show twice a week and I'll speak for yourself. And it is a
I do not think there is a show other than yours, where it is
more thoroughly researched and more thoroughly prepared for
than know a second to you. It's then no agenda. Category Damn,
absolutely. I know you have encyclopedic knowledge of every
single one of your guests. And it's you know, I think it's
astounding that they're doing all of that and they have
supporters who were who were giving them money to do the
things that they do and it's it's it's pretty cool. I think
that's the future that
but the only thing I'll add to that of course is what's really
cool is when you get people like Hassan maner to put together the
mix we have our end of show mixes I got I'm getting more and
more pre Dawn clips in the email which is fantastic leave art
work there's so much that people do as a part of the new model
for true participation radio that's why your producers and
not listeners listeners by listeners are exploited for
profit producers produce
the deaths what I think is interesting is because you know
they see their donation model and then they kind of they
stopped there they don't realize is all inclusive Exactly. In
fact that doesn't
work without the other part because then you can you can cut
your money in half and hire people to do things so there's
no way we could do all of this. Now I certainly couldn't have
Yeah,
I probably could but I have not going to
why bother? Hey, let's thank some people here John for the
big thank for show 900 And a lot of them donated the $900 for
show 900 became members of the 900 club nights and we want to
thank them starting with Sir James of the form 99

live in the other dimension where the kale is considered
fine dining. So at the end we just want he's just south of
Soddy Daisy says and how about a mac and cheese too delicious to
believe in some tax season karma for all the accountant listeners

Fairbanks, Alaska. 333 33. Adam and John. I look forward to a
dose of media deconstruction every Thursday and Sunday glad I
can help support the show in any way. I'm sure Silicon Valley
isn't getting any cheaper these days. Alaska has got inverse
temperatures and inverse economy of California. Here the rates on
helicopter insurance are insane with this relaxation of drone
regulations. Is that true?
Yeah. Yeah, it's getting complicated but all good for me
I have a secondary career waiting for me
so this being my second donation executive producer level I was
curious if I could buy out all this a good one. This is not
possible David. If I could buy out all the way it is possible
but it's a little steep. I was curious I get by out all the
time on jingo request was donating below the producer
level for show 900 to eight now this will mean that you push
forward more of the content that's always mentioned but move
ahead to Sunday's moving to Sundays. If this is agreeable.

accounting this should put me over the top for knighthood you

Dun, dun dun dun. Looking forward to the ceremony. I'm
sure Finch nasty night after the bachelor beaut 23456. By
Mayakoba. Congratulations on show 900 by a truly an amazing
feat. Thank you for being our saviors of sanity. And for the
outstanding deconstruction throughout the election season
post election may get a de douching as this is my first
donation since completing my knighthood last year, and a

abandoned LMNOP in Portland, Oregon to 25 Congratulations on
900 by the value of fair value model I owe you more money than
my donation but here it is a last hopefully I'm a little
ashamed not to be a night by now even meant even more that this
is my first monetary donation I've been mooching jobs coming
for months promising a donation once I landed a new job in
producing by hitting my four siblings and both parents and in
the mouth. Got one brother listening still working on the
rest well it's happened in two months I've got out to I went to
get mo nation knees in London town on a tear to work visa for
a few years. I can't afford to do $900 Though here's 900
quarters to officially list my name among the ranks of the
producers chips finally and hopefully swiftly on my way to
making in a whole again I won't forget the value for value ing
for the eight last eight years. And then he's goes on with some
some notice about the other best suppose the best podcasts in the
universe somebody's taking credit for it. Keep up the
fantastic imbalance work you do. Haters gonna hate but there's
still intelligent people who hear your deconstructions as
intended on the media and not politically driven. NPR can't do
it. They're part of the media. Your position outside of the
mainstream is important and you're under the radar format is
genius. No analysis in the universe multiverse or Metaverse
approaches it. Thanks for the years of pure entertainment to
go podcast. Once a de douching wants to resist we much Atlas
Shrugged and no conflict. As a salute to pure unfettered
capitalism and rational self interest. The only effective way
to rebel against consumerism is to produce thanks for your
courage. Keep up the good fight.
No, thank you so much. That's a very kind note. You've been d do
exist. We must.
We must and we will much about that. Be committed. By real
concrete,
you've got karma.
Mark Malin another Parts Unknown donation to a 999 This is my
first donation. I need a vigorous and thorough D
douching. Let's do it right now. You've been D deuced.
Got back during
the primaries, I felt that wasn't getting the whole story
on what was going on. The reports I was I was hearing from
the news just to Nat up and I was looking for more information
about oh without all of the narratives and lies I remember
watching JCD on Tech TV many years ago and thought he was a
straight shooter and has seen him tweet about no agenda, so I
figured I'd check it out. I listened to maybe one or two
episodes and I was hooked. I get more information from two shows
a week than I could from watching MSM mainstream media 12
hours every day. I really appreciate what you both do.
Keep up the good work for greetings also like a Trump,
Bing Bong, bong and a Thanks Obama Bing Bing
bong bong bing bing. Thanks, Obama.
That's actually a good combination. Let's do that
again.
I just kind of like Bing Bing bong bong bing bing. Thanks,
Obama.
Ah, from Parts Unknown 201 33 I stumbled upon the no agenda show
years ago and haven't missed an episode since I've been a loyal
monthly donor for a while now and I've got the occasion of the
900th show. I finally reached knighthood. In light of my
forthcoming relocation. I'd be honored if you bestow me with
the title of Sir John. The one night in Bangkok.
I liked that night in Bangkok, good
one night in Bangkok, jingle request fake news with the ping
pong ball at the end and you know, because Bangkok and some
karma are all because you know, Bangkok Oh, I got you read that.
Karma. Sir Patrick, have the Bognor order 201 Washington
somewhere sending a profile the note as soon as I see it, I
think so. Don't mention my full name. We're good. I mentioned
I'm gonna read his note. With a heavy heart I observed the
passing of Scott M from Canada I assume M stands for man
overboard. I was riveted by his explanation for why he's
departing the show. Global warming and guns. Well, well, if
he is finished, I feel I must retort. Scott is my great hope
that the door hit you in the ass on the way. Let's read that
again. Scott. It is my great hope that the door hit you in
the ass on your way out. You're no reminding me of my children.
When they're in the bathroom. They yell loudly that they're in
the bathroom and they are. They're making poopy. I almost
indulged in a moment of nostalgia about my youngsters.
But then I remember that you were the source of this memory.
You're the kind of farts sniffing a hole who tells other
people what they should think you also loudly pronounce why
you won't listen to two thought criminals. It is with a heavy
heart. I asked John and M to start the Scott M Memorial Fund
is my intention to make more donations are the best podcast
in the universe. When we hear more BS like yours. I hope every
other producer will feel inspired to donate Scott M isn't
the first he won't be the last. Let every man overboard be a
call to make a donation to the best podcast in the universe.
RIP and peace.
I can I can I can just see like T shirts with milk cartons with
Have you seen Scott M?
overboard
at the Scott M Foundation.
We just have a PS as to the Canadian producers. Are you
going to let this man taint the Commonwealth? Donate to the
Scott M Memorial. I do have a letter which I'll read later in
the show from from another Canadian who also blasted Scott
M O in a very funny way and we'll get to that. Okay, go this
is exciting. It's not the only one I guess. I'm pumped. You
pumped I'm pumped Robert Montgomery in Newport, Vermont
$200.08. I started listening to Episode One and donate it early
because I knew value for value my monthly 1111 subscription
goes back to 2011 7992 currently so this completes my knighthood
finally I no longer able to listen to every show. I check in
at least twice a month for my dose of media assassination.

showing on and it's always a number but we doesn't that's
good. I like celebrated as
a good showing, yes. This made up for the last few shows which
are not
dismal. Yeah, not interesting. That's another way of putting
it. Thank you, thank you to our executive producers, our
Associate Executive Producers are 900 club members. Going to
be quite a list of credits today. And of course, we will be
thanking more people $50. and above in our second segment, we
got a lot more to do today. But again, thank you so much. And
remember, we do have a notice show coming up on Super Bowl
sunday.org/and. A, which means perfect opportunity for getting
people in the mouth.
Our formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth
a new variety. I wanted to just mention something briefly,
because also because you were talking about your monitor. to
first of all, I don't know if you get these calls. It's it's
very consistent. It's Hi, this is so and so in a different
state. It's California or then it's Texas. That's Colorado. Is
this the business owner? Yes. Do you want your Google ads to
perform properly? And it's actually it's there's one that's
really good, and I didn't get to record that one. You say hello.
And it's like, Hello, here a woman. Hello. Hello. This
is we talked about this this the robot woman. Yeah. And then she
goes actually converses. Well, no, no, she's
not conversing. No, this is not the robot. You say hello, oh,
it's just, it's always I've had it three times now. Oh, I'm
sorry, I was having a little problem getting my headset on.
And then she just launches right into it. And you can say
whatever you want. But she just won't stop unless you press it
like zero. And then it'll, it'll go away, because that's actually
interesting. And they always give you the option to opt out
from the call list. And as a, as a slave who's interested in the
system, I always press one opt out of the call list. I keep
getting these calls. Yesterday, I get a call from a Google
representative. And I see on my phone that it's from coming
from, I guess, Mountain View. And like, Hello, yes, the songs
are from, you know, Google ads. And we noticed that you wanted
to opt out. Is this the business owner? So it depends what
business? I don't know what business you're calling you. I
couldn't really answer that. And then it's like, well, I need a
little bit of information from his nose. Jose, you have my
phone number. I'd like to be taken off the call is I'd like
to be no longer because Yeah, well, these are all of our
official partners or official partners. We give them the your
number so they can call because you know you're the business
owner and you want to you would of course you want to have your
your Google ads all but I'd like to be taken off the list. Okay,
well, then we just need to complete the information, all
the information, then you pay the fee, and then we can go
ahead and put you on the no call list. I said why don't you suck
my dick? You crazy? Sorry. timecode.
They mean, is that is that the most that's illegal as far as
I'm concerned. We have a Do Not is this extortion? It's
extortion. It's illegal. It's extortion. They're threatening
to keep calling you unless you give them money. That's
extortion. Is that simple? Yes. Where's Elizabeth Warren when
you need her? Yeah.
Good luck with that. I'm not quite sure how he's going to tie
that into a car monitor. Just bitching in general. So I'm
still having problems with my trackpad to put to the side I
have an old wired mouse. And I ordered on Sunday, I ordered a
new magic mouse and a mouse pad and you know it said and I was I
was like Okay, that's great because it'll be delivered in
two days. I'd said you'll have it Wednesday. It said right
there wanted Wednesday. Click here within you know, 34
minutes, which you know, it's kind of like please call for
your special offer operator standing by you only have two
minutes left. And I guess then it something great for the show.
I'll be good to go. Otherwise, if I knew it wasn't coming
yesterday, I would have gone to a store somewhere. But this is
new. They say two days it's Amazon Prime and it doesn't show
up in two days.
I have had this happen to me now. Numerous times. I effective
when I had the host system blow out a couple shows ago and I
lost my M audio took a show started an hour late because I
had to dig up this at this audio technica mic which has a bunch
of built in stuff and I found it and so let's try this. It works
fine. I've been using it ever since I can recommend it. But I
ordered a couple I ordered an icicle and as sure I ordered a
bunch of gear to keep my old system. It was the day for the
show. It should have shown up on a Wednesday or I think a
Wednesday and it didn't it showed up like Thursday or
Friday. All this stuff all showed up. And I'm thinking wait
a minute this is a day late two days late. What am I supposed to
do about it? Their day obviously not giving out refunds because
it's a fixed fee when you buy prime it's just a flat fee. And
I think there's a little bait and switch going on here. You
get a guarantee today delivery. Deliver it in two days. Yeah.
I mean, do you do pay for Amazon Prime? Yeah, I do too.
But I think this is going on all across the country.
Wouldn't surprise me. Well, there's lots of stuff. Amazon
has their own delivery guys in Austin, which is interesting.
Oh, this is an Amazon truck. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Well, they
still use FedEx and UPS. Oh, no. They use everything they can.
Sure that sure they do a couple of important dates to keep in
mind. There is now a new meme. It is. Feb. 17. Feb. 17.
Everybody, Feb. 17. Have you heard about a John? Feb. 17?
It's the three days after Valentine's Day. Yep, Feb. 17
is a call for a worldwide general strike against Trumpism.
Yeah, that's gonna go over Trump ism.
Yeah. But this I'm seeing that this trending. This is trending.
February 7. Same thing. It's trending. It's trending.
What day is that? Is that what day of the week is that? I don't
know. Let me take a look at the calendar.
Hey, Siri, what day of the week does Friday 17th. Friday. Hello.
I'm doing this in an official way. It's Friday, February 17. I
want to just say, Hey, John, I'll just do this and other
people.
So the people that are good, yes. So the people who are going
to take the day off on a three day weekend? And of course, it's
Thursday or Wednesday? I think it may have more meaning. But
that's not going to happen. Did
you see the Googlers unite. This was fun. Oh, you have you got it
on me. You have to look at hashtag Googlers unite one word
on Twitter. And you'll see that Google employees, they just a
streamed out of their workplace to protest Trump. They hate him.
And then it's interesting. They say, Oh, there's more people
here at Google protesting Trump than at the inauguration. is
pretty funny. While and we don't have to debate that, but I did
learn something interesting. I remember then looking at the
CCTV footage to, you know, to satisfy the President's ego
about how many people were actually there. Yeah, well,
turns out and this is from WaPo. No less hackers infected 70% of
the storage devices that record data from DC police surveillance
cameras eight days before President Trump's inauguration,
forcing major city wide reinstallation efforts, which
were not complete before the inauguration, which seems like a
security risk to me. So I guess, either, this is true. And
there's also some, some mention of ransomware. So the security
cameras, CCTV cameras around DC, the story is against from
Washington WaPo. were infected with ransomware. And therefore I
think probably we might not be able to get all the proof that
Trump was looking for. I don't know, I just I had not heard
this story.
You know, when I think back on this whole episode, which
continues in some funny way. I mean, he I think he's everything
he's doing seems to be pretty what you do, except for the
occasional, like, I would call him a gaffe. Like, why didn't he
just say who cares? But it reminds me of the meme. I think
it was pretty much promoted mostly by Elizabeth Warren,
which I thought they dropped the ball on as I look back on the
election, which was the term thin skinned Yes. If you
remember, and Hillary would say once well, but I think it was a
not invented here thing. It wasn't part of the Hillary
campaign or somebody else dreamed it up. And they didn't
want to use it. Um, yeah. And so I think it didn't fly. I thought
it was a good one. I thought that was a good meme. I think
Scott Adams who kept analyzing these things from a hypnotist
persuasion. Yeah, especially because he's anything but thin
skinned. Really? That's why it makes it so good.
No, that's what makes it so good. He's very because he's
sensitive to but he's not he's, he's just he's weird is what it
is. But they it was a great, great meme that they just
dropped the ball on and I think they could still pick it up.
Well, I don't know what what these guys are doing their job.
The Gauntlet is down. I think doing a poor job of protesting.
I think everything is that you like you play with that get that
Clinton clip. And you can play you know, Obama, I think it was
in 2000 or not Obama, but in 2000 through two I think there
was a whole bunch of disallowances of people traveled
from the Middle East country that happened again during the
Obama administration. At some point there was some but nobody,
it's it's just isolating the whatever Trump does is something
that's never been done. decided
to cite my new friend Mr. Davis from the ACLU. It's on TV
everywhere. Yeah. Everywhere. Well, speaking of TV everywhere,
one of our producers helped me out a bit with this with the
doomsday clock, which I know we talked about it today and said,
you know, they said it, although apparently it's already been at
this two and a half minutes left, but it's been a week ago.
Well, but they sometimes it hasn't blown. Sometimes they
also set it back, so that it's not always forward. It's also
back, but do you know, and this, this short clip will accentuate
that. The doomsday clock was there for one thing, and one
thing only up until this most recent change in its time, and
that was for the threat of nuclear war. Right. That's what
the doomsday clock is for. Exactly. That is no longer the
case. The group behind
the clock is made up of 15 Nobel laureates Rachel Bronson is the
executive director of the bulletin. Since the clock was
started in 1947. It's only changed 22 times and 70 years.
Today marks the 23rd the clock has hovered this close to
midnight three times the 1950s when the US and Russia tested
the hydrogen bomb, the 1980s during the Reagan era, and
today, the clock moved forward 30 seconds after lack of action
on climate change.
Yes.
Sanity was no longer nukes. It's climate change as bad as a
nuclear war, although I'm sure that you know, I guess Trump
making friends with Putin is even scarier, I guess for the
nuclear war. I don't understand how that works. Don't you think
it would work exactly the opposite way?
Well, since we're gonna go into screwball stuff you want to it's
not as long as it was last time, and it's not going to be as long
and
wait a minute. Are you telling me you have a report? I do.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special report breaking Breaking
News Special Report.
All right. So I watched the Miss Universe thing. It was very
interesting. It was very well produced. It was done in the
Philippines. So they've got some talent or they brought people
over it was
oh, dynamite. Now this is this was no longer a Trump
production. And this is the first one Oh,
no, this one this was better than any Trump production in
terms of its visuals. Wow. Beautiful. Oh, dynamite. And it
was big. It was glamorous. It's too long, of course. And it was
very little about the women. It's mostly just a bunch of
fluff and a lot of ads. Now.
For people who are new to this program for years, John has
looked at the politicization of an in an entirely creepy
misogynistic ritual which everyone seems to think is
great. There's never a protest at the MS Universe competition.
I have nothing good to say about this one either. This was
interesting though because there was less white girls if you
wanted Caucasians, pure Caucasians it was almost all
multi CultI with a with a very few curiously I would Don't give
it away but Miss France one and she was I think she was pretty
white. She was pretty much just a Caucasian Polish she was like
and a lot but but there was a it was a mix. I mean, Miss Universe
per se was a black woman. There's a lot of black women
there's a lot of Asians there's a lot of Spanish dive very few
of the girls could speak English at the end so which was a little
different.
I'm just taking Oh, I'm just I did not watch anything. I didn't
I did not even know that Miss France one. I'm taking a look at
her picture now. And
her teeth are funny.
Well, it could be now she was fine. But yeah, when you when
you replay go through these clips, you'll see why she won.
He had again a political situation. No,
you don't say
oh, now I will. I don't want to sound like one of the like Meelo
Milo whatever his name is and Shane, do fat shaming. But I
will say you Canadians up there. I think it was a bold move to
put a plus sized woman in the competition. Really?
You make? Are you being facetious? No? Okay, hold on.
The plus
size effect. Let's listen to this guy. Cannon. This is this
is the clip. Well, this is Mickey speaks this is a little.
Okay. Thank you very much. Let me ask you. What's been the
biggest surprise of you for the night?
One thing that's been such a surprise is every single woman
whoa, stop the presses. Is this a dude? Apparently oh my gosh,
I'm looking at her now. She's fainted. I totally agree. Great.
No, not about her. I'm talking about the guy talking. Oh, I'm
sorry. I thought it was I thought that was her talking.
No, no, this is Mickey Boardman who's I don't even know what he
does. I'm sorry. I'm one of the judges one of the gay judges and
he's going on on and on. And he makes a little commentary that I
thought referred specifically to Miss Canada.
Thank you very much. Mickey. Let me ask you, what's been the
biggest surprise of you for the night?
One thing that's been such as surprises every single woman is
amazing. So there's I think I have a favorite and then someone
else comes out and speaks to you or comes out in the swimsuit
competition. And I suddenly have a new favorite and I'm very
confused, but they're all amazing in the swimsuit
competition. I particularly. They all looked amazing, but I
love the attitude of Canada, Brazil, France and the
Philippines. I thought they all they had, they all felt
confident and unique and happy to be who they are. And I think
that's a great message to send to women around the world.
I'm very tired of these shows having gay men judge straight
women. It is it is insulting. Somehow it's really insulting.
Yeah, if I don't like it either. Happy to be who they are was the
cow. I heard it. But this is bullcrap. First of all, I
appreciate what you said she's not a plus size model. She's a
normal woman. She looks like a plus size model next to the
other ones. I'm looking at her.
This is this is not a plus when she fills out a bathing suit
nicely.
She's beautiful to fudge amazingly,
when she's in the gowns when she's in the gown she's plus
sized by any standards.
I disagree. She's not a plus, I think she's a size 10 But not a
plus at
all. But she's a sizing if she's announced. Hold on a second.
Look it up all right. All right. Let's knock on wood. I don't
care. I thought you should very good look, she was very pretty.
There's no doubt about that. But she was not in the same
category. There was a couple of things I noticed though, that
that the women weren't so muscle bound like they were in the past
where they had that like a six pack, only the vertical one
because they have different muscles in their stomachs. Very
little of that. They were all smooth and light use of life
their life. And it's you know, except for Ms. Canada. Steve
Harvey, I will mention totally blows as a hose. Why did they
rehire him? Because he screwed up last year?
He was he was trying he was trying to fix it. Yeah, yeah.
And
he made a lot of jokes about it. Miss Haiti, who was a classic
again, this multi CultI thing. She was at a Eurasian of some
sort. She was absolutely beautiful. But she will. She
doesn't have any Haiti in or it looks like to me, I didn't know
what that was all about. But let's listen to the, to the some
of the people when they come with the kind of questions they
got, and we're going to start with Kenya, then we're gonna go
to Haiti, and then we're gonna go to France who won? So let's
start with Miss Universe, Kenya. And this was the Clinton
question. Now, arguably,
no United States President has had a more active first 10 days
in office. What are you most excited about? And what most
concerns you when it comes to the presidency of Donald Trump?
Policy? Is Okay, again, Donald Trump, have we been elected as
the president of the United States may not have been the
choice of many people living in the United States, because
because of the divided support system for the outgoing
President Barack Obama, who was supporting an upcoming woman
president, who was supposed to be a woman, president, Hillary
Clinton, so so many people oppose his position, but I feel
that once he took up his position, he was able to unify
the entire nation. Thank you very much.
What was she saying?
I have no idea about there's supposed to be a woman
president, but he got it instead or I don't know. Here's one that
spoke English. Actually, Haiti speaks English to the rest.
There are other ones that were just a waste of time. But let's
go to Haiti she has you want to play that theremin? Play it
right after this girl?
On January 21. An estimated 4.8 million people marched worldwide
for human rights, women's rights and other issues. If you were
able to participate, what would you have been marching for?
Hello, everybody. One of my one of the women I admire in the
world is Eliana wizard, because she fought so much for human
rights. And I feel like that's what we need in the world. We
are just won 100,000 In the years ago, six species of human
lived in the world you're just one and we all need each other
and we need to respect each other
it actually fit in the music therapy and it was right there.
Eliane or Roosevelt
Eliana okay now Liliana, I just need to say why did I just need
to say one thing? I cannot believe that the chat room has
not given me the dress size for MS candidate by this point I've
been saying give me the dress size. You're all comedians do
some work. Alright, go on.
Okay, now and I don't mean to demean Canada she's a very good
looking woman it's no doubt about that. Women I will say
again like the last one we did all the women could have won
they're all very pretty now now when I do this analysis I first
thing I do is I record the whole thing then I go to the end and
see who won and then analyze it from there. So I know who won
before even
watched the show. Oh, that's probably a good idea. It's
harder it's that is you're really falling on your sword
there because you're kind of ruining the whole payoff to make
the show better.
Exactly. Now, Miss France one I had to figure out why cuz she
although she was she looked good in a gown. She looked good in a
bathing suit. They all look good in a bathing suit. The gowns
again there Miss cantos didn't really look good in the gown.
But so I listened to the here's the questions and answers one
and two, I divided this up because I'm trying to analyze as
she's answering the question, and I got excited with her
answer because there's a wait a minute, this is interesting. And
Play Part One.
France stuff right off. given today's worldwide refugee
crisis, do countries have an obligation to accept refugees?
Or do they have a right to close their borders?
Don't on that, please, these refugees on the moon don t is
sleepy. So as Rishi said delay the friendship in only two major
family who do leave?
The country should have the right to open or close their
borders.
Don't give up. So that's good news for you to look through
lupus expert test. You presume there is a strong perceived
lack, of course Pomona? Let me see. This valley family sports
cars down the workers as
Oh, yes, in throughout the world, people can choose to have
the borders open or closed?
Well, we have a winner if we knew what the heck was going on?
Well, we have right now we're listening to someone who sounds
like a nationalist. For one thing, the question is loaded,
do they have the course they have the right that's the right
answer it he asked me that question. Of course you have the
right, you're a sovereign nation, you can shut the borders
if you want to. It's your business, your sub podoco. So
I'm thinking that she answers this question, kind of like
that, with wimpy I'm thinking wow, that's this is interesting.
She won the competition. And she seems to be a nationalist. But
then she drops the other shoe
Oh, is to have the borders open or closed? In Europe. We have
open borders. In France we have we want to have the most
globalization that we can we want to have the biggest
exchange of people that we can, maybe someday that will change
but now we have open borders. Family it useful. Having open
borders allows us to travel more through the world and to find
out more about what's out there in the world.
That's right, open borders. We can find out more about what's
out there.
Really no borders, no
nations.
No borders, no nation. So she's a globalist and she won. She
wins. We couldn't based on that answer. As far as I can tell.
I'm all there when they the audience are hooting and
hollering even though they're in the Philippines, hooting and
hollering for globalism be a break and observation.
I think it's I don't recall a Miss Universe pageant where the
contestant did not at least attempt English in her and
question and answer session.
Same thing with Colombia and a couple others. Oh, they also had
to translate it. Yeah, this was they had to translate. I think
half of them were translated in the ones that weren't weren't
very literate.
Literate no thanks to the chat room. Miss Canada, but it before
she went into competition. Last 129 pounds. She was a dress size
24 She is now size eight.
She's not an eight.
That's the No, that's misogynistic. You can't be
saying the girl was lying about her size he I think she's an
eight. She may even be really fine.
She can say whatever she wants. I think it's remarkable that she
got in the competition. She put a lot of effort into it, but she
could have actually got down to an eighth note it is
John. I'm just surprised that I look at her and I don't see what
you see. You said you saw plus,
see the show. I'm looking at pictures. You're looking at
pictures is different. You're looking at photographs. I'm
looking at telly. today.
I'm just in another dimension.
I don't think so. Okay, I'm think it's fine. I had no
problem with it. Except it was it stood out like a sore thumb
now that she lost 120 pounds, it makes even more sense that she'd
win in Canada, because they're proud of you know, anything that
Canadian can actually accomplish. Yes. Here goes a
Canadian.
Take that Scott. Am I okay. Good report, John. Thank you. You're
welcome. I've
always suffered through these things. I
know. I know. Well, I have I've been suffering through a lot of
social justice.
Read talking about bitching and moaning about Canada and be by
make up for it real quick with is the letter. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Yes. This is the Canadian guy has BW Do you need any fellow
Canadian, I would just like to say that Scott M or whatever his
name is was that was crying about handguns and climate gate
do not reflect the views of real Canadians. I would also like to
suggest he ventures up to Victoria Fish and Game
Protection Association and talk to the hundreds of us including
my 10 year old daughter who enjoys the sport of shooting
both long and short guns. By history, we should also remove
any car capable of breaking the speed limit and stop selling
booze and tobacco while we're at it. And while we're at it, dogs
get rid of dogs because some of them could kill someone. As for
climate gain, I'm guessing he didn't notice the jump in pump
price in our province, and how it has received it since since
we instituted the carbon tax, or the costs of riding ferries to
the mainland has increased over carbon tax and an increase in
our power bill is carbon tax. This is being odd since our
power is nearly 100% hydro electric. And with all the worry
this worry this system has to come up with nothing to stop
climate change other than carbon tax. This alone should be enough
to prove that there is something amiss. In my short 34 years we
have seen the coming doom of the climate in every form from the
ice age to growing oranges and Alaska, yet still nothing close
to fix. Nothing close to a fix for either, with the exception
of carbon tax. So while he sits in Sydney, Canada, breathing out
all that carbon, I ask that he hold his breath and stop
contributing to climate change. It's clear the small amount of
patchouli and the taste of granola that is prevalent in
Victoria has got to this man's brain. Keep it up man, though I
haven't. I haven't been in a financial situation to donate. I
have, however, been propagating the formula and thankfully this
is the latest ship jumper was the one who punched who is
punched in the mouth who Oh punched in the mouth. No joke.
That means John,
thank you for repairing our our relationship with Canada. I
think I think that that worked.
He says yours truly your number one non donating douchebag Okay,
that's good. Anyway, just wanted to show you the Canadians are
helping us unite against this character
now. Scott and Memorial Foundation fund Scott and
Memorial Foundation wasn't the big news item but I think it is
important to notice since we talked about it previously,
Grand Wizard, Eagle Scout Rex Tillerson, who has now been
confirmed as the Secretary of State, of course, also the head
of the Boy Scouts of America, who helped bring in gay scouts
into the BSA as it's known. And we have an update after weeks of
significant this is not Tillerson, of course, this is
some spokes all from the Boy Scouts of America after weeks
of significant conversations at all levels of our organization.
We realize that referring to birth certificates as the
reference point is no longer sufficient. Communities and
state laws are now interpreting gender identity differently and
society did in the past. And these new laws vary widely from
state to state. Starting today, we will accept registration and
our scouting programs based on the gender identity provided on
an individual's application. We will also continue to work with
families to find scouting units that are the best fit for their
children. In summary, we've taken the opportunity to
evaluate and update our approach. I hope you will join
with me in embracing the opportunity to bring scouting to
more families and children that can benefit from what our
program has to offer. The BSA is committed to identify and pro
gram options that will help us truly serve the whole family.
And this is an area that we will continue to thoughtfully
evaluate to bring the benefits of scouting to the greatest
number of youth possible.
So I feel and I'm all for protest without violence. I feel
if you're going to protest the idea that this administration is
filled with people who hate women hate gays, hate blacks,
hate Brown, hate yellow hate anything that where is the
celebration that the Boy Scouts of America have done this? I
think there should be some mention of it.
It'd be encouraging Trump
to say, good job, Rex Tillerson.
It'd be encouraging trumpets. It's that good.
Okay, well, since you brought it up, guy doing the rounds. It was
very interesting to listen to. I watched him for quite a while on
Don Lemon, you know, the overnight sensation there on
CNN. It's Michael Eric Dyson, professor. And he's written a
book, which is why he's promoting it everywhere. When he
answered, He speaks in long drawn out sentences. I'm trying
to I'm trying to give an example how he does it. So if you said
something to me that I didn't like I would say, Well, John, if
you actually truly done the investigative process, on my
background and my heritage, you might not have been
proselytizing so much of what you were saying to me in that
moment, five seconds ago. It just kind of at that I did a
little more Al Sharpton there, which is not how we sound. But
he talks long drawn out again, and he's very insulting as well.
Of course, of course, and he's on the view. So it's a it's a
twofer.
Donald Trump is the rose, what is the ground Okay, or another
flower? What is the ground from which he emerged, whiteness
produced him a certain sense of selfishness a certain sense of
self importance, a certain sense of innocence, a certain sense of
privilege that he fails to acknowledge. And the best of
white culture has to war against the worst of white culture for
us to embrace it, because remember, Frankenstein is the
name of the doctor, not the monster. So what produced this
heinous manifestation? We see. President Bannon I mean,
President.
people refuse to admit that their own whiteness is a
privilege. And you say, quote, the most radical action a white
person can take is to acknowledge this denied
privilege to say, yes, you're right. What do white people not
understand about what it means to be black in America,
white brothers and sisters don't see that they have privilege.
They say, Oh, my God, look at you people who are politically
correct. Now you want safe spaces? Well, your white body is
a safe space in a way that African American Latino women's
bodies are not. So when I'm suggesting to white Americans, I
love you, I want you to engage in the introspection that you
encourage everybody else to do. And then think about the
privilege, the ultimate white privilege, maybe this, you
encounter a police person and live to tell about it. Many
people of color do not do that many people who are outside the
parameters of what it means to be acceptable, cannot have that
engagement. So I'm saying there are many privileges that white
brothers and sisters have. And if you acknowledge it, then we
can figure out how to unmask that privilege. And then the
challenge because I think Donald Trump not to get back to him,
but to be on him. Donald Trump is the manifestation the very
face of a kind of white refusal to grow up. This is the first
toddler presidency. This is the inability to acknowledge the
legitimacy of America as a great nation. And I think Donald Trump
is a
very loaded this lot going on.
Does it mean to unmask and challenge? I heard that and I've
seen the whole point of what he said, was to unmask and
challenge and I believe what
he is saying,
is that even mean?
I believe what he is implying is that white privilege built
Donald Trump and we need to take that mask off and admit that
white privilege is running the country. And we all have to I
think the t shirt my body is my safe space is dynamite. What a
great idea. I can't argue I can't argue that, that there's
white privilege. If you if you want to see it that way. I can
argue that so thank you, I think about it a lot to think about
all the time. I help my black and brown and yellow and red
brothers and sisters. But what's it to you?
Well, I'll tell you what it is check for that. You get a check
for this. No,
that guy does. I don't get a check. But this guy breeds other
types of hate. So he's on the view and he's being cautious.
Well, he also made this snide comment President Bannon. Yeah,
hi.
So funny. Haha, because he's talking about white supremacist,
and that guy's a racist white supremacist kk k. It's all the
memes we've heard over and over again. What this results in
though is something I want to play two minutes. And it's a
piece of a longer video. It is a social justice warrior. This is
in Seattle during one of the protests and she gets on the On
the megaphone, and she starts pretty much the same message as
the professor only laced with profanity, John, some of your
your least favorite words are in here. So just bear with me
please because there is a kicker at the end that you will, you
will appreciate. But the MF word is all over the place and it's
directed at White people. So I'm just letting you know. Because
you cuz you said I don't want your
brain can handle it. Let me just do a deep breathing. Okay,
I didn't want your brain to shut off so that you know because I
know it. Look, I'm just saying anyway, thank you. Listen for
the kicker at the end about this woman. And listen to what she's
saying.
Honestly, white supremacy both the US Empire, your imperialist?
America thrives off of capitalism. We are mother fuckin
fuckin black and brown bodies to live and survive while white
people fucking properties after that. Yeah, there are poor white
people, right? But black and brown people are affected by all
of the shift around us in capitalism is one of them. So
you need to do we need to start giving fucking money. Like, give
your fucking money. Your fucking house, your fucking property.
By the way, there's predominately white people in
the crowd who are cheering her on while she's doing this. Rap
the
black in indigenous people right now. Is your fucking time. It's
your fucking money. And your fucking life is now devoted to
social change. Right are working 40 fucking hours, you know? 40
fucking hours and juggling fucking different classes before
whites under white supremacy. We're all operating under white
supremacy. Just so you know. The White House must die. The White
House. President Bernie they must go. The White House. The
White House. In fact, you're voting I'm with her. Donald
Trump. I don't give up. capitalism. Capitalism raise
what? We fucking racism
fired. Now here it comes.
You know what? I am? a preschool teacher. Who's gonna fucking
lie. This is teaching.
Well hold on a second. This is a punch. I didn't understand her
understanding where she said.
Oh, you didn't hear the punch line? No, I'm so sorry. Everyone
else did. She No. No. chatroom did here comes
I am a preschool teacher. Who's gonna fucking radicalize
preschool teacher that's gonna some some some
she's a preschool teacher.
Oh, she's a preschool teacher. This
woman who could not only crass a one sentence without an F bomb
is a preschool teacher and intends to teach her children
this way.
Well, that's something
frightening. And capitalism is racism. Series Oh,
she's this is a classic, old school. And I've been thinking
about this. Because we've asked a question over and over again.
In the end the RTS a question we all ask it. Why is it why are we
pointing the finger at Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. And why
are they the bad guys? And what? Why don't we want to be friends
with them? And then we're all in with questions about no nations.
No borders, no borders, no nations. And this woman comes on
capitalist. All this. This is all old communist rhetoric.
Yeah, it's communist rhetoric.
How did it get into her mind?
It's communist rhetoric. And this is the reason that the
Russians are having to finger point out because you can use
you can still pretend that they're a communist country. But
in fact, the international order of socialism the the old school
internationalist, the old globalist, the old guys, the UN
people who started the UN these sorts that want one world
government they want one world government under the UN, right?
Well, black lives matter. Black lives matter is a communist
organization.
Yes, but the reason that Russia I thought is reason Russia is is
pointed out Russia is against this they the ever since they
the Soviet Union broke up the Russians became capitalist, yes,
as a form of capital as a socialistic form of capitals
much like in China. but it's not communism anymore and so they're
excoriated they're condemned for getting off the off the because
they were the ones who were some of the Russians this is good yes
of course Soviet Union was the one supporting all these crappy
organizations that were all subversive and they were doing
they had women like this yelling about this and that their
socialist worker I'm sorry the Socialist Workers Soros has to
do this now he's the one that spending the money to keep this
crap going on the Russians are they're out of it but and you
know, they're against the euro the EU because they see that as
just something building up to be another another
communist piece of crap. Yeah. And so if you
start looking at the redefining everything and what's going on
in the world is again, nationalism versus globalism.
And you and you keep falling on the wrong side of this and you
keep falling on Oh yeah, we could it's better we have no
borders it's better if we don't have any sovereignty whatsoever.
We formed this country is only I guess 200 years ago. Something a
little more than 200 years ago 40 And and now it's rather get
rid of the borders we don't need it. Let people come in. So what
about our we don't care about our own people is what it says
America you
don't get to do that job. Yeah, no, exactly. And of course the
pisted the Russians aren't on board anymore.
No, the Russians used to run the show. And they're not on board
anymore. This is terrible. This is
great. Crap. This is great analysis.
Oh, the only thing I can think of of why Russia has a target
Thanks Obama.
Blue and you don't know where there's the news Why don't you
get Joel get dressed like a million dollar everybody now
trying not to look like Anderson Cooper. Super calm let's mix
with John Podesta walks with kids. I mean pizzas in his mid
booted on the race.
That's right. Another no agenda analysis.
No, I do want to play this little clip which has something
to do with that because it's okay for these people to tell
him when to shut up. Tell white women to shut up. So, you know,
somebody says Shut up on the other side. That's a terrible
thing. Let's play keep mouth shut democracy now. Okay.
The battle between Donald Trump and the press escalated on
Thursday, after one of Trump's top advisers called the media
the opposition party. In a rare interview with The New York
Times Trump's chief strategist, Steve Bannon said, quote, The
media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth
shut than an added I want you to quote this. The media here is
the opposition party. They don't understand this country, they
still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of
the United States, unquote. Bannon is the former head of
right wing Breitbart media, which frequently publishes
racist, sexist anti immigrant and xenophobic news.
They forgot porn, just add porn in there.
Now, what's interesting about this is that she conveniently
leaves out a clause in all this, this is a classic example of
it's I would call it fake news. Because you're not you. There's
no reason that you have to go into that little rant at the end
not to put this in. Here's what Bannon said, and tell me it
doesn't change the meeting. She says the media should be
embarrassed and humiliated and keep his mouth shut. That's what
she says. He said, That's not what he said. Oh, he said the
media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep his mouth
shut and just listen for a while. Oh, that's
very different.
It's very different. Sorry, it's okay. It's a declarative, it's
like it's like keep your mouth shut. Instead of you say, could
you be quiet for a second? Just listen, I gotta finish this
thought. I mean, there's a huge difference. She is misleading
her her listeners on Democracy Now. And you know, the joke of
it is she had the right quote up on the screen. Somebody put it
up to me by mistake interesting. And she only she cuts it right
off. I just thought that would and this is going around all
through that media. It's all been said to keep your mouth
shut. Keep your mouth shut. Keep your mouth shut and just listen
for a while. Well, speaking of big difference,
speaking of keeping your mouth shut, Nancy Pelosi attended some
kind of demonstration where she was going to tell everybody
about you know how evil Trump is. And her microphone was not
working. She was She literally had to shut up and it was kind
of funny

from this particular program. Okay, good. Yes. I don't know
how much you have left. There's a clip I've been holding on to
for two weeks now, I think. And it's it's actually a clip of
Australian television. And I tried to speed it up to make it
a little faster. Of all the things Trump has done in his
first week. And it's interesting because they actually set it up
by saying, yeah, we're just gonna tell you all the things
Trump has done in his first week, just the you know, and
then they just go and the list is a break abrasive. We'd like
to hear
Yeah, let's go because I have then I'll go to the Australian
cloud. Fresh made over the
perfect and and if you get tired of it just told me to stop. But
I thought was quite funny. Let's take a moment to
reflect on the first week of the Trump presidency. We could do
this by dissecting the things that he's done and have made
headlines and then attempt to comprehend the ramifications. Or
we could just list every single action that he's taken because I
think perhaps the enormity of that alone is quite remarkable.
In his first week as President Donald Trump signed his first
executive order starting the rollback of Obamacare, he took
control of the nuclear codes and declared January 20, his
inauguration day, the National Day of patriotic devotion. His
White House spokesman lied in his first press press thing by
saying the inauguration sizes were the biggest in history and
a senior Trump advisor defended the lies saying they were
alternative facts. He ordered the National Park Service off
Twitter after retweeting images comparing Obama's and Trump's
inauguration crowds. Trump planted staffers to cheer and
applaud at a speech he gave to the CIA. He bypassed anti
nepotism laws to hire his son in law Jared Kushner as a senior
White House adviser. His office confirmed that he would never
release his tax records. President Trump withdrew America
from the TPP a multinational economic deal that's been seven
years in the making. It's alleged the president allowed
his businesses to take money from foreign governments, which
this week saw him face a new lawsuit for breaching the
Constitution. The President repeated the claims that the
elections suffered from massive voter fraud, confirming that he
would launch an investigation and claiming that three to 5
million votes were legitimate. Specifically, he raised concerns
about people being registered to vote in two different states.
And while there is no evidence to suggest that voter fraud
exists in the millions this week, it was revealed his White
House spokesman whom I mentioned earlier is registered to vote in
two states, as is the son in law that I mentioned. It was also
revealed this week, his youngest daughter, Tiffany, his White
House strategist Steven Bannon, and his treasury secretary
Stephen Minuchin, are all also registered to vote in two
states. And he reinstated a global gag rule which cuts all
us funding from international NGOs that offer and counsel
women on abortion. The next day, his party passed a bill that
permanently bans American women from using federal funds or
private health insurance towards abortion services. He vowed to
cut funding to violence against women's programs as well as
national arts and humanities legal services Minority Business
Development Programs, public broadcasting and the Office of
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Trump's administration
removed the Spanish version of the White House website and
deleted pages on civil rights, LGBT rights and climate change.
They overturned the ban on two major oil and gas projects the
protesters claim could contaminate water and destroy
sacred land. He ordered a total media blackout on the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture,
and health and human services. He also imposed a hiring and
regulatory freeze across government agencies except for
the military and some public safety sectors. President Trump
drafted orders to temporarily suspend America's refugee intake
with an indefinite ban on Syrians. He also announced plans
to have America's asylum program he drafted plans to suspend new
visas for people from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and
Yemen. The President also draft a plan to open CIA black sites
around the world to reintroduce torture as an interrogation
technique. President Trump moved to redirect allocated federal
funds to start building a $20 billion wall on the southern
border. After Mexico again refused to pay for that wall.
Trump tweeted a suggestion to the Mexican president that he
canceled the upcoming meeting he did. Trump then flagged a 20%
tax on imported Mexican goods in order to recoup the cost of the
wall. President Trump announced that he will publish a weekly
list of crimes committed by immigrants, and he stripped
federal funds from US cities that provides sanctuary for
illegal immigrants. He also laid the legal groundwork for massive
deportation. And that was week one.
Well, of course, there's a lot of BS in there.
Oh, there's tons of BS. That was my favorite one. My
favorite Bs is this block the CIA and other agencies from from
your gag order, whatever you call it, what it was to be
honest about it. He didn't. He said that EPA guys cannot on
government time. Go tweeting stuff on government time. What's
new about this? Is this a new thing? I thought when you work
for any of these agencies? You're not supposed to sit all
day on Facebook?
Why don't you try working at? I don't know, pick a company AT
and T start tweeting about what 18 T is doing once you how
quickly you shut down? You got to do that in organizations?
Yes, it's yeah, it's bull crap. Well, anyway, so the CNN decided
to make a big fuss over Trump's the way it was described. And by
the way this happened. This was reported on Wednesday, even
though it happened on Sunday, or Saturday here on Sunday in
Australia. So it was some sort of a leak that came out late,
which makes me think and before I play this, I think that the
White House Oval Office is bugged. I think it's bugged.
Well, because there's all kinds of leaks coming out that don't
make a lot of sense. And it also sounds like somebody's not
actually there. They're just listening unless they have a
camera in
there. You know, it's actually kind of sad. I was sent to an
article yesterday by one of our military contacts, and the
article talks specifically about you know, the Trump went to
Andrews Air Force base for this. This kid who got killed
servicemen, that was that was actually part of Trump's first
raid in Yemen. There was some some raid was taking place. And
the assertion from this article is that the al Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula there the Yemen's the day, were tipped off
that these guys were coming. So you bring that up. Now, the
Obama administration knew about this raid. I think it was one
that they pre planned but this was Trump's first big one. And
you know when a kid gets killed, I'm sure some knows him Taliban
knows. Yemen al Qaeda guys got killed, but it was pretty much a
heavy firefight. And that was the assertion within militant
military circles is they were tipped off. So I don't know if
that's part of what you're talking about.
I would if I was Trump, I would have swore that place suite a
separate incidents, I'd have the NSA come in and sweep the
place doesn't have a skiff.
I would have the NSA sweep the place for especially some of
these new modern bugs. And I'd also have the FBI come in
afterwards and sweep the place. Again, I love bugs. And he. And
so because I think there's something's going on. But here's
why. Here's the way CNN is portraying this incident is a
little lengthy, but this is the Trump and the Australian Prime
Minister, CNN one is one of our closest
allies. Absolutely. I mean, that's what makes it really
remarkable, I think is that the it's hard to think of a an
American ally, who has been more steadfast, more reliable than
Australia. Obviously, Trump has had his issues with Mexico and
other countries. But Australia has been there for the United
States in the wars in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan,
diplomatically, through intelligence sharing through
counterterrorism missions. And so to have a blow up with the
Australian Prime Minister, in his very first call, as
commander in chief is quite significant.
All right, Greg Miller, the Washington Post. Great, thank
you very much. I appreciate you. Bringing now our White House
correspondent here at CNN, Sara Murray, sir. Good evening to
you. What are you hearing on this? What are you learning?
What we're hearing a lot of things that are similar to what
Greg just said that this was a very tense call between Donald
Trump and the Australian Prime Minister. We're also told this
was after a long day of Donald Trump sort of dipping his toe
into diplomacy. For the first time that Turnbull was his fifth
call. He may have been a little bit fatigued, but obviously, he
was very curt, he ended the call abruptly and he took issue with
this agreement about refugees that was settled under the Obama
administration. And Donna.
It goes on, you know,
what I thought was interesting. I know you have a second clip
here is the way it was presented. Certainly on CNN, you
even heard at the beginning of your clip there. And let me just
say, here it goes. It's one of our closest ally, one of our
closest allies. It's one of Australia's one of our closest
allies. I thought maybe I just play a little medley of who our
closest allies are from the Obama administration is fairly
typical
of the way that Danes have punched above their weight in
international affairs. I've said this before, but I want to
repeat Norway punches above its weight. We have no stronger ally
than the Netherlands. They consistently punch above their
weight. Ireland punches above its weight. It's a small
country, the Philippines is not the largest of countries, is
using a phrase from boxing punches above its weight. We
have no stronger ally than the Netherlands. Again, we have no
stronger ally than Australia. Poland is one of our closest and
strongest allies. Great Britain is one of our closest strongest
allies. As I said earlier, Germany is one of our strongest
allies. This state does it reflects the fact that the
Republic of Korea is one of our strongest allies. Israel is one
of our strongest allies. France is our oldest ally, left past
and present value, and continues to be one of our closest ally,
Italy is one of our strongest allies. Japan is of course, one
of our strongest and closest allies.
There you go. Just setting the record straight. So you know who
our closest and strongest ally is.
Yeah, and the ones who punch above their weight. That's
my favorite other one.
Yeah. All right. So let's listen to this is actually now the
Prime Minister of Australia, refusing to really talk about
this, which is, I get the sense that he just sees it as gossip,
but he refuses to confirm or deny anything, and he seems in a
good mood. It's not as though I can't imagine what you'd if
you'd be in as good of a mood of what CNN says, which is,
apparently Trump yelled at the guy and then slammed the phone
down.
I've seen the I've seen that report. And I'm not going to
comment on the conversation other than to say that in the
course of the conversation, as you know, and as was confirmed
by the President's official spokesman in the White House,
the President assured me that he would continue with honor the
agreement we entered into with the Obama administration with
respect to refugee resettlement syndrome. With that
conversation. Thanks for your worry, but I'm not going to
comment on these reports out of the United States about the
conversation. But I think the Australian public will be
interested in your relationship with our most important partner.
Did he hang up the phone to you earlier than you expected?
I'm not I'm not going to comment on these reports have a
conversation. Australians know me very well. I always stand up
for Australia. In every forum.
No. All right. Well, where's the controversy then?
Was it real question is because according to CNN and other
reports, maybe WaPo. David there the fuss was over these three,
there's like, I think it's 3000 refugees that Australia is
keeping in a camp on some island. And Obama agreed to take
1500 and according to them, but Trump says no, we're not taking
any. And the Prime Minister says yeah, we're gonna take the ones
we promised to take. So why don't do some things. We're not
getting good reports. But I still think that the the White
House is bugged.
Hmm. Well, that can be passed on. The med students is passed
on immediately, who needs a skiff Skiff. I love the skiff.
And I, I've been holding on to this one because it was Did You
Ever did you ever see the question and answer session
between Theresa May and Donald Trump? When the BBC journalist
asked the question.
I guess you have debt. That wouldn't be prime. I only
listened to Prime Minister question time. That's that was
on the BBC. I think
Theresa May Prime Minister was visited the White House and they
did a press briefing together. Just one question.
And thank you very much Prime Minister Laura Kuenssberg, BBC
News. Prime Minister, you've talked about where you agree.
But you have also said you would be frank, where you disagree
with the President. Can you tell us where in our talks? You did
disagree? And do you think that the President listen to what you
had to say? And, Mr. President, you see? We'll see what she
says. Mr. President, you've said before that torture works,
you've praised Russia. You've said you want to ban some
Muslims for coming from coming to America, you've suggested
there should be punishment for abortion. For many people in
Britain, those sound like alarming beliefs. What do you
say to our viewers at home, who are worried about some of your
views and worried about you becoming the leader of the free
world?
This was your choice.
So the question
was fun. I thought it was GOOD. Finally, some humor. Ladies and
gentlemen. Let me give Trump props for one thing. He's the
only guy, public politician who I've heard, say torture, not
when it comes to waterboarding, not enhanced and get
interrogation techniques.
Just torture, torture,
I agree with you. At least he's calling it what it is.
Now I want to mention something because if you did appeared on
the on most of the shots of Trump in May and it I'm reminded
of him and his germophobia it's got a German thing. A lot of
people germaphobe Well, why is he grabbing her hand because
Djerba phobics, generally speaking don't like to hold
people's hands or touch certain things. It turns out according
to one analyst that he has a bigger fear of going up and down
ramps, especially going down them ramps. Yes, and there's a
ramp there and you can see it clearly. You see him walking and
then he's coming down. That is a ramp. A White House ramp. Yeah.
ramps. It's a there's a name for it. I don't know don't have it
on the top of my head, but there's a name of this phobia,
but it's just the surface down the ramp gray they hold hands.
And then when he gets to the bottom of the ramp, he taps her
and it's in the air.
Oh, here it is. Play Maka phobia. kalamalka phobia. Sounds
like chlamydia, but it's clear Maka phobia the fear of climbing
especially using stairs but it can also be ramps elevators
climb Maka phobia?
He has trouble with stairs to that's where he uses escalators
and elevators. This apparently no pa but that was interesting.
Yeah, that's how did you find out about this?
It was on one of the talk shows and as some guy discussing it,
and I didn't clip it because I think it was a situation where
anything went in that
way because that's that's that's odd.
It's very odd. I have one last clip if you want because it's
gay man. Oh, well, of course we chit, chit, chit, chit, chit,
chit, chit chit
chit Chit is our top reporter from Russia Today RT the state
sponsored media. It's all propaganda but we saothair All
right. What do you got to Chicago?
She's gonna do a little rundown on the US Senate bickering with
each other. I thought it was quite entertaining.
Okay,
What we've got to do is fight in Congress fight in the courts
fight in the streets getting hot
and heavy in Washington DC with accusations and insults flying
in all directions. One battleground Capitol Hill. I
object to
the senator disparaging a fellow member of that committee here in
his absence.
He personally went after me. He personally impugn my integrity.
He didn't object them, did you
who can speak to it, but I think that
I saw this and I'm glad you clipped it. It actually needs a
little setup, I think. I don't think she set it up, right?
No, she didn't set it up for this Frank and go going berserk.
I'm going to probably go back and get
what was happening is he was bitching about Ted Cruz and all
the other senators on this committee were like, well,
that's no good. He's not here. You should do it to his face.
You do do it to his face. Yeah. It was very bizarre.
On both Oh,
Jack Then did you can speak
to it. But I think that we'd be better off if we just let it go
deal with
information process of Trump's nominees for various top jobs
has been as messy as you can imagine.
I'm very disappointed in this type of crap. I'm in the My
gosh, there's no excuse for it. Some of this is because they
just don't like the president. I think now to stop posturing and
acting like idiots. We are only
one month into 2017. And today, we have another close rule, or
as I call them now, Putin rules that your way or the highway.
Whether one agrees with him or not. Trump's presidency has
rattled the Washington establishment another flashpoint
is between the White House and the media. You've seen so many
lies and conspiracy theories repeated by the President of the
United States has nothing but disdain for the rule of law and
the
Constitution. This is one of the most radical inaugural speeches
we've ever heard
that this thing has been neutral.
Do you know I have a running war with the media. They are among
the most dishonest human beings.
Members of the media were engaged in deliberately false
reporting, CNN, you are fake news. This kind of dishonesty in
the media. The challenging that bring about our nation together
is making it more difficult. We have two parties in this country
right now, pro Trump and anti Trump and for the most part, the
media are anti Trump. It's that simple. It's not ideology. It's
not platform. It is purely personal. What this president
has done, he took a Twitter account, bypassed mainstream
media, these news Titans are now standing in the queue waiting
with the rest of us hesitance to find out what's going on. I
mean, he has just slapped this this group, because of frankly,
and I'm not saying this is true or why he did. But he's had it
with them. Word is
out that the White House decided not to send its representatives
on to CNN shows Oh, the fight is on. But the rules are unclear.
In Washington, I'm gonna check on.
The gloves are off. Yeah, well, since you brought Al Franken in
I do have one final clip. Okay. View, we probably will not. We
cannot expect Al Franken to vote positively for checking out any
voter fraud in the United States. And this clip evidence
is why then and
either there are anecdotes out there. There are examples of
voter fraud, you know, 1015 20 difference, you know, votes here
there in this case as much as 1000. But is there any example
that you know of, in which fraudulent voting particularly
with illegal immigrants turned an election result?
In 2008, Al Franken, after six months of court battles was
declared the victor in the Minnesota Senate race by 314
votes. After he was seated. It was discovered there were 1200
felons who had illegally voted in that election. A survey was
done by Fox News and Minneapolis, going out and
interviewing a whole bunch of those people. 90% said they
voted for Franken it turned out Al Franken was the 65th vote
Paul to pass Obamacare because the Democrats needed 60 votes
and so the Republicans were backing them to pass Obamacare
if Al Franken hadn't been seated, I think they
legitimately we wouldn't have Obamacare as we know it today.
And there yeah, there ya
have it, ladies and gentlemen. All right. tuckered out now I'm
all tuckered out and I have the vapors.
Okay, but we'll be able to Yes, we'll be able to speak about the
Super Bowl on Sunday so that's all good. We have the show
before the show, right?
