All right, his Twitter feed, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
There's a march 2 2017 This is your award winning give donation
media assassination episode Niner 08.
This is no agenda
straddling all universes because we can and broadcasting live
from the darkest corners of the earth here in downtown Austin
Tejas region six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's sunny again.
What next? I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill. Okay,
it's sunny to do yes. Sorry. I'm happy we have this info.
Can we get let's have mudflats? Bigger than ever. In the morning
together, John, in the morning to you, Mr. Ann Curry in the
morning all the boots in the ground? And yeah.
Ah, well, some stuff to get out of the way in the beginning
here, I think.
Well, I can start with the Oscars.
Yeah, we can do that. The Academy Awards. No, we can do
that. Or what? No, we have something in mind. No, I do not
actually. I'm completely open.
Well, let's discuss the Oscars. And because I think I promised
that we're going to do that in the newsletter. Yes, you did.
Although that doesn't stopped us before, doesn't mean
we actually wouldn't do anything.
Was it rigged? Was that whole thing a scam?
It's interesting. I saw your wife posts on the face bag. Oh,
yes. She my wife convinced she is convinced it was it was a
scam.
Yes, she can tell you this. And she'd get into a beef with
anyone who didn't agree.
Now this was of course my first thought. Even though Tina and I
we weren't able to watch the whole thing live because we were
in Vietnam. When we came back, it was still going. And, you
know if it certainly did the job of getting attention if it was
intentional, but I don't I don't see it. I don't see why that
would be something that would be set up that way. Certainly not
by PricewaterhouseCoopers. They're not crazy.
Well, there are being reevaluated to that's why that's
why it's possible that they were gonna get fired anyway. So I'm
not buying that. Here's here's my one take on this insofar as
why I think it was a scam. Okay, we're a publicity stunt. And I
kind of agree with Mimi about the kind of blaming the old
people they bring to old farts out. Well, Statler and whether
Well, it was Bonnie and Clyde and there was a programmatic
reason behind it.
Yeah, yeah, they could have flashed the pictures on the
screen. They could have done a lot of different things through
but they bring them up for the last thing and then they're
goofing around up there and she's ends up reading the wrong
thing because he got the car because there's two cars that
come in. Supposedly, here's here's the I do have a clip.
Yeah. And here's this is Jimmy Kimmel on his own show, trying
to explain what happened. Of course, he doesn't, you know,
far as he's concerned, this was the way just was an accident.
As I walked offstage, people started speaking like people
around me saying, oh, did you pull a prank of some kind? I was
like, hey, no, I didn't. If I pulled a prank, by the way, I
wouldn't have just had the roll winner's name on the envelope.
When they opened it, there would have been like a Bed Bath and
Beyond coupons. It was not a prank. By the way, the producers
of lala land were very gracious, which they did not have to be
onstage. Tony Hawk the handler, well, it was a very amicable
custody arrangement. They didn't ask for visitation or anything.
But still after the show. I went back in the greenroom to talk to
Warren Beatty, because it still nobody knows what happened. And
he showed me the evidence. You know, when you do a show like
this, you aren't just the host you're also the lead detective.
Like the Sheriff of the show, Warren Beatty could be
imprisoned right now if I wanted to the card he had said lala
land Emma Stone, which is weird because Emma Stone who won Best
Actress for lala land at that moment was in the pressroom
doing interviews saying this.
I also was holding my Best Actress in a Leading Role card
that entire time. So whatever story I don't mean to start
stuff, but whatever story that was, I had that card.
So she said she had the card, but I was with Warren and he had
the card. Well it turns out they both had the card for whatever
reason they have to have each card in each envelope. There's a
regular envelope and a backup envelope just to make it more
confusing and so the accountants gave Warren the wrong card and
they apologized for it today so it wasn't born babies fall and
Faye Dunaway made quite a getaway she got the house you
want to know part of feeling smart And then I spent the whole
rest of the night answering questions about it. It was quite
an evening it really was.
I gotta say, Faye Dunaway and she looks great.
Well she looks good for someone who doesn't look anything like
Faye Dunaway
There you go. She was pretty rough when she did that movie
with Johnny Depp but then she came back a little bit I do have
one listening to that there's only one thing okay, if I'm not
mistaken they were like 90 minutes over on time
they were how's this work?
Well that's what I heard I thought they were way long way
over time.
I've watched this thing especially throughout the shows
for I don't know decades and when they're over they start to
bitch about it they start to shorten everything at the end
and then they and then they kill it very quickly and then they
roll any credit they hardly roll credits I so this thing
well given my thinking because they were over I think 30 to 45
minutes over the only thing the only reason why this might have
been set up and fake is to take away from the disaster that that
is with the local stations and local advertising and the made
goods and all this crap that goes on that's the only thing I
can imagine. Otherwise I'm not
the only show I've ever seen that went over where it appeared
not to have gone over at all they have plenty of time at the
end for all the shenanigans and all miss people running around
on the set the guy there's floor manager with his headset on and
all the other stuff that that that appeared to be going on
sincerely and then they wrapped it up everybody got to say their
boats movies got to say thank you for forever and then they
took their time getting out of it and then they rolled full
credits I've never seen that before at the end of an Oscar I
had no doubt I didn't look over to me it looked like it was
right on time and it had plenty of room at the end.
I don't know you do have a theory so we can move on.
That's it. That's the theory this thing with this. This was
not over. This was that it was staged. It was just staged they
were they I've never seen them do a show where they got so much
time at the end. It's almost like let's make a big pile of
room at the end for this greats dunk. We're gonna pull.
I do have one little clip to play for you. This is not the
first time this has happened on the Academy Awards. It happened
in 1964 where the wrong winner was read. And it was Sammy Davis
Jr. who? Who was the Warren Beatty in this case the nominees
for the best music score adaptation of treatment are John
Green for Bye Bye Birdie. Andre prevalent for Urmila Deuce
I love that we used to say Urmila douche but I guess it's
the deuce
Lisa Stevens for a new kind of love Maria Shiraz for Sunday's
and Isabel and George Bruno for the sword in the stone. And the
winner is John Addison for Tom Joe.
That wasn't even nominated in this category. And still people
are clapping idiots
they gave me the wrong envelope. Wait till the NAACP hears about
this
killer joke Sammy Davis? Killer killer guys funny. Yeah, yeah.
All right, good. Onward from that. Hollywood is fake no
matter what. Yeah, well. I enjoyed talking
a little bit about what if we since we were on Hollywood first
segment might as well just mentioned some of the the
Chinese have changed some rules about what can and cannot be
shown in China and so far as Hollywood movies Arkansas, and
they're the new bastion of hope for Hollywood with a monstrous
Yeah, yeah. Well, a lot of the there's a lot of Chinese
investment in Hollywood.
Well, not only that, but they have this lot of Yes, China
there's a lot of Hollywood investment in China, they got it
but these new studios, they've got some billion dollar studios
they put up and all the rest of it, you want to play a little
bit of this clip, this is China's movies new new bands
values, as you have posted, you should also to listen there at
the very beginning they give a list of socialist values, which
is worth writing down.
socialist values, as you have pointed out, officially comprise
a set of mooring moral principles summarized by central
authorities as prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony,
freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law. Patriotism,
dedication, integrity and friendship really a lot of
concepts together difficult to remember but basically that's
that's pretty I've summed up, I think in the in the values of
many different countries, right? I mean, different societies,
people would value basically the same thing. But there's vital
difference between socialism and have told us. And right now
China proclaim love and clear in black and white, what the market
is allowing, that is any work that this differ ideologically,
from socialism, or social core will not be welcomed. And this
is something that Hollywood really need to take into its
consideration. Do you
think it is good for the Chinese film creators to have this
guideline because some people would, would say, Look, they're
trying to put a regulation on your creativity, they're trying
to stymie limiting, and restricting I do not think is
good. But I understand the rationale of China, China has
been a country has been founding this country, um, socialism, and
communism is very core is to put the collective interest beyond
the individual, or above the individual, which is the very
essence individual freedom is the core of capitalism, that is
actually the essence of American dream. If we think about why
Hollywood films is so popular in China, is actually a sign of
Chinese audience wanting to share more of American dream,
although China or Chinese government is
promoting the China dream, so.
Okay. Well, you know, this is the I think, would, you know,
our movies are corrupting influences. Yes, culturally,
only a culture at a cultural level. But that's enough to
really dig into. And that's where the French limit. So you
know, our movie distribution there. And the Chinese have
gotten a clue. And I think she nailed it at the end was the
American dream. And individualism. Right? That's not
a Chinese dream. No.
No, far from it, actually.
Yes. And so they don't like this, this promotion of this
idea in China. And I think they rightly decided to ban it. And
so no,
that's a real problem. If I'm thinking about almost every
movie, it's made in Hollywood has some kind of American Dream
element to it,
generally, at least already do the ones that you know, are
supposed to live in you up. And as opposed to just the
depressing ones. And I think this is a huge problem for
Hollywood, because what are they going to do? Because if you
start going into this socialist propaganda style, which is what
China wants, now your looks like you should be in front of the
house on American Activities Committee, being called out as a
communist. So this is very interesting development as a
huge part of the budget. And this is law. Now this is a this
Yes. Okay. Yes. They almost had to go through a committee that
decides if they had they've they has anything to do is kind of
downplaying socialist values. The ones they listed the
Why did the Chinese keep taking this? I mean, I guess they
really believe it. And they really love it. And it's not
like China is completely isolated. I mean, there's plenty
of proxies and people can get through the big firewall of
China. While at the young kids, I just accept all this. It's
just
Yeah, I guess. So. Why, why wouldn't they do it? They could
probably make the same art. Why are these people believing in
this nonsense?
And while there's a good point there? Why is the most important
thing in America the Oscars?
Yeah, there you go. This will be we'll keep an eye on this. But
this is going to bode what they've been doing. Although
nobody likes to talk about it is the American movie makers. Will
they did the same thing for Germany during just pre World
War Two, when they were knuckling under do whatever
Hitler's told them? Because they said well, that we're going to
lose, like, you know, whatever that market is the German
market. And so they'd reedit
Ciao. Yeah. Oh, gosh, yes, I remember that. Oh, man.
Absolutely. Now
they're gonna read it for China, you can count on it, though. The
screenwriters will have to come up with an idea where they can
write it in such a way that you can swap out parts of it that
are going to offend the Chinese.
So I will say that there were a number of stories in the New
Yorker actually had a big piece about how the Oscars represented
the the actual split in the universes that had taken place
when Trump won the presidency. So they're compare they're
comparing what happened at the Oscars were the wrong movie, one
to the election. But specifically,
yesterday, in fact, I think a lot of people have made this
observation that they do, it's just a fractal. Yeah.
But that was specifically stating alternate universe and
that's when the split occurred. Yeah, I love that. It
sounds right said the word theory is so well, we're this
travelers. So if we try Hello, I did get a nasty note from
someone. Once that you guys I don't understand how two smart
guys can be a big apology Trump apologists, cheese. You know
wonder where you get this and it's like, of course I looked
him up he's a guy who's never you know, he's been listening to
show supposedly forever he's never donated a nickel. And I
And if he had it coming he could have have a $5 check that comes
in. It's possible, but I don't think so. Right. But it was the
same thing. And it's like, you know, these guys on the other
side of this chasm, er, they just see it right. I have a clip
with the Chris Matthews, who is has some Republican they're
talking about the aftermath of the speech to Trump's speech
without get to. And Matthews is going on and on with this guy
about well, what do you think about Trump who just he said
that? Because there were a lot of people called Trump an
exploitation expert, when
well, just to stop you there for a second there were on the face
bag, especially the alternate universes were so apparent after
the speech. You know, people just saying, you know, just
listening, that was the most racist, misogynistic, like, wow,
really? I didn't hear. I didn't hear that. You know? Yeah, maybe
it was fluffy. But I don't know about though that and a lot of
people were, I'm not watching. This is this is my favorite. I'm
not watching. I'm watching tbs. Fine.
Yeah. Well, here's Chris Matthews is the clips called the
dimension report. And he's carping on something that the
other guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I
didn't know what he was talking about. So then Chris backs it up
with it with the clip to prove his point. And, and he I don't
know what he's hearing in this clip, but it's not in there. You
know, I
think Chuck Schumer is a big boy, and able to take it but
also his rhetoric sometimes stings us on our side, too.
You know, there last night I was taken with, with a Karen Owens,
of course, the widow of the soldier that was his life was
just lost. And I thought that was I've said, the most honest
communication ever. So last night, when she looked up to
heaven to talk to her last husband, and I said, anybody not
love that humanity and love and unite. I just have a hard time
with the president here because I think he he, at the same time,
he's paying tribute to this loss. He's blaming it on the
generals, I mean, presidents aren't they supposed to say the
buck stops here, I'm the commander in chief, I made the
call. There are casualties of war. That's what war is about
people shooting at each other. You know, it's part of the
cause. If you get through it wonderful. If you don't get
through it, you are a sacrifice for your country. Why is he out
there blaming the generals, even though he's part of this
wonderful event last night? And
that's such a stretch from what Trump actually said? Which will
he's bet he's basing this though on a interview after or
Yeah, exactly. When Trump said, you know, they went in, but they
lost Ryan, who exactly which everyone is now translating to
all of you blaming the generals.
Well, he even plays the clip, as you'll hear, and it i You can
hear it again. And it's like, I don't see that either. But this
is a good this is a great example of dimensional split
event last night. remorse. I don't get why he's blaming the
generals Explain.
Well, Chris, okay. Now, you've said that four times I really
didn't hear that. I think he said the generals have said this
was a successful raid.
They said. He said the generals lost.
Well, okay, I don't think he's blaming the generals. Obviously,
we lost. We lost a troop. That said, we lost an expensive piece
of equipment. That's cold.
That's very cold. Is the soldier an expensive piece of equipment?
I think it does. And I will say it at the end of the day, that's
the way they do the calculation. Got
an expensive piece of equipment, man, and that's regrettable. But
he also said that the my advisors say we had success and
that we got good information.
Anybody that pays the price like that should get credit for
whatever is achieved. But look at this. Here's the president
speaking about chief Ryan Owens, in a Fox News interview this
week, the President said it was the generals who wanted to
conduct that raid in Yemen and said, they lost right watch what
he said.
Well, this was a mission that was started before I got here.
And this was something that was, you know, just they wanted to
do. They came to see me they explained what they wanted to
do. The generals who are very respected. My generals are the
most respected that we've had in many decades, I believe. And
they lost Brian, we make it
I don't read into that, that he's blaming the generals. Maybe
not the best choice of words. But you know, he was
complimentary of the advice that he got. He said that that they
that? Yeah, it goes on. Yeah. Before Matthews is nuts.
Well, he likes doing this. This is what he did with a
hypothetical question towards Trump about women being
penalized for abortions. He likes doing this. And she I
mean, the way that changed on on the on the serious progressive
channel, it's yes, it's the dimensional split, for sure. But
something really odd happened. And Tina and I saw it in real
time. As I was switching back and forth. And right after the
speech, we went to CNN. And here's what I heard a venue were
saying,
while you were watching that, about the significance for them,
he became president of the United States in that moment,
period.
This is Van Jones.
I know about this, and you just a couple other people at his
level that did the same thing. It definitely wasn't showing up
at that same thing. He wasn't showing up on the floor itself.
No, as you know, one side wouldn't clap for anything,
including stuff they had proposed.
i That's not entirely true. I saw a lot more standing than I
expected. And of course, Tulsi Gabbard was standing and
clapping most of the time.
I have Tulsi Gabbard material. But to get back to the Van
Jones, and this is
listen to the rest of it.
There are a lot of people who have a lot of reason to be
frustrated with him to be fearful of him to be mad at him.
But that was one of the most extraordinary moments you have
ever seen in American politics period. And he did something
extraordinary. And for people who have been hoping that he
would become unifying, hoping that he might find some way to
become presidential, they should be happy with that moment. For
people who have been hoping that maybe he would remain a divisive
cartoon, which he often finds a way to do. They should begin to
become a little bit worried tonight. Because that thing you
just saw him do. If he finds a way to do that over and over
again. He's going to be there for eight years. Now. There is a
lot that he said in that speech. That was counterfactual, that
was not right, that I oppose and will oppose. But he did
something tonight that you cannot take away from him. He
became president, I say it's
my take aways. Van Jones is in it for himself. He wants to be a
contrarian voice. And this is his way of doing it. I think
it's all about him.
I'm not gonna argue against that theory. There's no reason for
Van Jones could have just as easily done with a lot of the
Democrats and gone off the deep end saying that guys, you still
a douche bag. And so why now? In fact, in fact, the best one I
think is like a noodle boy character called in on C span on
the Democrat line on the Democrat line. And I think that
this was a more typical of what the I mean, the guy like here's
a guy calls a sounds like noodle boy, he's stoned. Of course,
he's representing the Democrats on the because he calls it an
Atlanta Fed No, dude weren't any good Democrat calls of any sort.
It was kind of weird. But but this is this was a classic but
a call. We'll move on to a Democrat. Joe is joining us from
Brooklyn, New York. So from your side of the aisle, what did you
hear tonight? What's your reaction? Okay, so hard to
follow that. Did you watch the entire speech?
Yeah, no, I watched the entire speech that my biggest takeaway
was that he was able to read from a teleprompter a little bit
better without wearing a red tie.
Okay. Joining us next.
Stoner had to cut him off.
Well, Don Lemon was just good old Don Lemon, the overnight
legend
and to me, it sounds like a speech that was written for
someone that he was reciting. And there were some big words
and big phrases that I don't think that he actually connected
to. If you just listen to the speech, it sounds like his voice
sounded like it didn't sound like his voice because if you
look at when he speaks extemporaneously, you'd learn a
lot about people. The way President Obama spoke
extemporaneously was very similar to the way he spoke. He
gave speeches, the way President Obama spoke extemporaneously
about stuttering I wasn't
an Obama spoke extemporaneously was very similar so
does it mean extemporaneously? What does it what does that
mean? Off the cuff? Okay,
President Obama,
I don't know if Don Lemon using big words is too big from
Spokane.
membranous leave is very similar to the way he spoke he gave
speeches, the way President Bush spoke extemporaneously was very
similar to the way he gave speeches. The way President
Trump speaks extemporaneously is not the same as what he said
tonight. It sounded to me. And this is just I mean, I thought
it was he's not a very presidential. This was a speech
written by a college students, for someone else, trying to use
big words to impress it, the person who was reciting it did
not know the meaning of the words, please,
of First of all, he's right there. He's projecting because
Obama's early speeches were written by college students.
Exactly. And so he's kind of doing a little projecting in
there. We don't know who wrote the speech, but I've heard him
read other speeches, here and here and again, and that's what
he always sounds like when he's reading from a prompter. He's
very slow and deliberate. Yeah.
Yeah, I also didn't see I didn't
notice it was any different than any other prompter speeches ever
given.
I agree. What lemons talking about there was something brand
new in the coverage and I don't know if this was only on MSNBC
or if it was pool video. I'm sure it was cool video. I don't
know if everyone cut to it. For the first time as the President
is in the in the beast in the limo, they zoomed in all the way
to the window. And he had the dome light on or I don't know
there was definitely was lit, and he's in the car and he's
practicing his speech. And he's, and he's holding the piece of
paper. But listen to how MSNBC did the play by play
the giant bulletproof sedan. And as soon as cameraman for the
television pool can zoom in to the man lit by the dome light in
the back reading through presumably reading through his
speech, will perhaps get a better view or his Twitter feed.
Come on. We can do it all the way. There we go. Here we go.
Here we ready?
You can do it all the way. Are you going?
All the way.
screener paper look at
screener paper of Who are these people? screener paper 20. He's,
he's limping it he's doing it practicing. Yeah, but he's
actually voice you
know, we can read lips, we can get the whole speech for you.
I have never seen this before a president on the way to giving
his well almost in the union and actually practicing it on
television.
Oh, that's just crazy. He's practicing it on time. Can't
believe he practiced a car. I
mean, we don't know.
But they actually stunned that he practiced the speech.
Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. First time ever on television
gets a little better. I mean, we don't know
he's on television.
No idea. He's on television though. They I mean they they
just haven't been around the machinery of media, the
mechanics of south lawn that kind of thing.
Thanks, Brian Williams. They see that haven't been around long
enough so they don't understand that cameras are everywhere and
that you could get caught on on camera when you're doing this
kind of stuff. They just didn't you know, they're the newbies.
They're fresh out
of the south lawn that kind of thing long enough to know that.
This kind of thing is always televised.
No here never seen that
televised.
Well, they somebody was stuck in traffic. Who knows? I mean, they
did bring that up on CBS too, but not that didn't go on and on
with a bunch of dimwits. But I did get but not they mentioned
the media thing. play this clip. This is the Trump speech, pre
speech sag. Okay,
fill with congressmen, senators, the cabinet, military leaders
and members of the Supreme Court.
But you at home are the real audience tonight for a man who
brings more television experience to the presidency
than anyone since Ronald Reagan. Only presidents to belong to the
Screen Actors Guild.
That was a great tidbit.
That's great. The screen actors guild that sag AFTRA by the way
these days. Yeah, exactly. She and I think she should know the
record. She shouldn't be required to say sag AFTRA. We
should say you should know
that. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. I don't really have much
more on the speech. I like that.
I gotta come with you. So they get some complaints. Okay. Let's
see what I get that speech. Again, a series of clips. A lot
of this is these are short many times. But I do have a couple of
comments to make. This is the time of speech comparison. This
is kind of interesting. Hold on.
Oh, I see it. I'm sorry. Yes, as in speech,
which ran just over an hour. By way of comparison. By the way,
President Reagan's speech back in 1981 ran about 32 minutes.
George Herbert Walker Bush, his first speech to Congress ran
about 42 minutes. Barack Obama's first speech ran 51 minutes and
Bill Clinton tying President Trump running just about an
hour. Peter sled is keeping track of reaction to the speech
later.
Did you say Peter slot? Is that the guy's name?
Now, again, I these are all called Trump's speech there is.
And I have a comment on each one of this is trump any any? And by
the way, you said that there was a lot of there was some some
even ups and downs with the audience
more than I expected. I'll
just say more than I expect. Okay. If you watch the RT
report, there was none. And they had some extreme examples that
they showed. And for the most part, the ones I'm going to clip
out these snippets, there was none. And the one that cracks me
a couple of them just cracked me up because of it. Because this
first one here is this Trump's speech lobbyist applause,
saving billions more on contracts all across our
government. We have placed a hiring freeze on non military
and non essential federal workers. We have begun to drain
the swamp of government corruption by imposing a five
year ban on lobbying by executive branch officials and a
lifetime and a lifetime ban on becoming lobbyists for a foreign
government.
I left I cut that applause it down way down even though it's
seamless. Well done, sir. And in this case, the Republicans all
jumped up and clapped and all the Democrats sat stone face
about this lobbyist thing. When it was Obama, when he first got
in. He made a big fuss about this or do we can't have
lobbyists going back and forth inside and outside the
government. What what changed?
Well, I'll tell you what change most of them were dressed in
white and too preoccupied with it. Boy, that was that was that
was really of all things lame. We're gonna be in a little club.
We're not going to dress in white meaning be the
suffragettes.
They all look like Ku Klux Klan members. Yes.
The first thing I said is how racist are these people racist?
Notice I said racist, not racist, racist, racist. Racist.
Are these people they're they're wearing white, the white people
are wearing white.
Here's another little snippet. This is the Trump speech on
jobs, jobs jobs.
Since my election, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint
Softbank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart,
I heard him when he said Lockheed I was like, Wow, is
that how you pronounce it? Am I have I been doing it wrong? Oh,
here's like one T Lockheed is like your your Chem Lockheed. I
use this I say Lockheed lock.
It's that's because you're saying it right.
Since my election, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint
Softbank, plucky Intel, Walmart, and many others have announced
that they will invest billions and billions of dollars in the
United States, and will create 10s of 1000s of new American
jobs. Jobs jobs.
Is another long applause. And then they give again, the
Democrats, the whole the Democrats were seated. John on
jobs was embarrassing.
I didn't want to mention, I really like what he's doing with
the metrics. He said 94 million Americans are not in the working
the workforce. That's that's a good way to do it. Instead of
talking about unemployment, you say, hey, you know, you can do
the math. There's 300 million plus people 95 million. I'm not
in the workforce
and not participate. You mentioned that I had to play the
CBS clip about that, because they called him out on it. Oh,
no. But did the point is on his last clip, the Democrats are all
seen because they didn't want jobs. I guess that to me. That's
the implication as far as I can tell. Yeah. And but they took a
camera and they zoomed in on Pelosi. Yeah. And this is where
they had ugly pictures of her like, you know, they're half
asleep. And so I'm watching this as he's talking about jobs. And
this is the Let's vote for jobs. Woman. And what is she doing
sitting on her hands? I just found that extremely
sad point. That is the woman who said jobs, jobs, jobs. Let's
vote for jobs. When President Obama was in office.
Yeah. But now she sits on her hands. Of course. Now I do have
this this thing about the 95 million. I think. CBS factcheck
Trump probably this is
probably Yeah, let's try that.
Some of the problems Mr. Trump promised to solve last night
don't actually exist. The president said correctly that 90
4 million Americans are out of the labor force. But that's not
an unemployment figure. Our research department found that
in that official number, about 15 million are students 44
million are retired, and 28 million are disabled or caring
for someone at home. If 94 million people were looking for
a job, the unemployment rate would be 40%, rather than the
4.8% that it is now.
Well, interestingly enough, and I'm no mathematician, but if you
subtract all those, you know, roughly half. What he said. If
you subtract those just disregard them, then you still
have 40 million over then you're still at a nice 18 to 19%
unemployment.
Or something closer to his shadow stats.
Yes. I mean, he just he just gave us the numbers. Thank you.
Well, I don't even that I want to do a little more research on
the his numbers and what they what they because they're still
missing people. And I mean, you can't take the net total number
of people employed, which I don't have in front of me, and
add 95 to it and get the entire population of the country. So
there's, it's just gross today. News, sec. They have a new
section of CBS Evening News, where they have they do this
fact check check.
I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. Do
we count as in the labor force? Is that does anyone count us?
Are we counted? How would they know?
That? Well, a lot of its statistics. Okay, so they take a
sample. And then I come on over you guys work in efficiency?
What are you working twice a week? Is that what you call up?
You could call that you call that a job? Now? Your guess is
that could you consider when you read done? Can you can you can
you can you think it should pop up a part time is part time? Is
that what you're doing? You're doing? This is a bunch of
scumbags.
Not working okay. Onward.
Yeah. Now, we have a couple of things that resulted. But most
of the stuff I have is from kind of pre speech comments. Let's go
to let's go to Trump's speech, pre speech comments from CBS.
This is as as they're rolling in,
nor the President is at odds with some of the key members of
his own party. He's going to talk tonight about an enormous
increase in defense spending, for example. But he has to get
all of that through. John McCain's Armed Services
Committee, John McCain heard the other day he called a loser who
has lost so long he doesn't know how to win anymore.
And by the way, the press headlines today suggested this
was a huge increase in defense spending, which it is, but John
McCain wanted more than what the what President Trump had called
for a strengthening. What's not clear yet from the White House
is how they will offset that spending, the reduction in other
non discretionary spending, which agencies will take a cut
the State Department, EPA, there are indications of that there's
still more meat on the bone left on this budget that will really
lay out where this president wants to make hard choices,
because in order to do big things, you also have to cut
things.
Yeah, sure. Anyway, I get a kick out of them calling out McCain
for winning even they raise it to an extreme
amount and McCain was on his feet. Clapping.
Yeah, he was clapping now and again. So was it actually
Lindsey Graham,
too, but particularly when that came up when the budget
increased for the military, but he wanted more, but they cut to
him?
Yeah, did a lot of this is yeah, I don't know who's doing the
direction of the pool. But they're nailing are nailing a
lot of stuff. Yeah. Still the best. The best stuff was the
stuff done by photographers who had caught people, you know,
sitting there and unaware of stupid look on their face or
whatever. Like, I think the last one here I've got, which is
interesting.
The thing I do like about these speeches, it's the only time
that we're kind of like, the UK Parliament. And we were clapping
we're standing and we're sitting we're laughing. We're you know,
we're we're,
yeah, we're kind of but nobody's going to be making a racket. I
do have some pm questions stuff today, or people who liked that.
Let's try this last one, which is another pre speech is pre
speech or after the speech? I'm not sure but this is the Trump
speech pre speech polling. Now, the President
insists his administration is running like a fine tuned
machine. But his poll numbers seem to reflect otherwise, only
39% of Americans approve of the job that he is doing.
And there is a sharp division
on that. 82% of Republicans say Mr. Trump is doing a good job.
Only
6% of Democrats think so.
6% There's your dimensional split right. At two to six.
That's what the num bars are, of course, at the top. I don't know
how they get to the total of 39 using those figures, but I guess
when one entire party is not going to believe in anything you
do or say, I guess that would cause a problem.
I think this this speech mattered. I think, whether
you're in one universe or the other, it had an effect. And you
know, Murca remains a show business country. And you put on
an act, and people will believe it. And I think Trump did a
great job. I think he put on the ACT, and people will believe it.
And he got some help there and assist from people like Van
Jones and ah, this is a
and Van Jones wasn't the only one. Who Well, there are a lot
of these other pundits. I don't remember offhand. But a lot of
the pundits were that hated Trump and get him
specifically so that CNN was very kind. And I wonder if that
has anything to do with anything?
Well being called fake news left and right, maybe that could be
good. We don't know. Could be Yeah, I don't know. I overall I
thought the speech was just the speech wasn't jacked up about it
by any means.
No. No, John, I don't think I was jacked up on it either.
No one's gonna get jacked up.
We did get a song. I want to play this for you Secret Agent
Paul, who does so much for us. He did a song and it's I mean,
this is actually incredible. This guy's such a pro. And he
has a YouTube video. And the song is love Trump's hate. And
in the YouTube video, you see images continuously of the
protesters burning cars smashing windows, and this is a no agenda
cast of 1000s as Secret Agent Paul brought in John Fletcher
naughty nurse Danielle. I just got to share this with you
because it's when you hear Fletcher in there then it really
becomes funny but otherwise this is something that could actually
go on to be a hit it good. Yeah. Who knows? We tested me
we all bleed from his feet to say and we all make the same
There we go.
Modulation
fantastic.
David Bowie, Bob Dylan. They're all in the no agenda cast of
1000s.
It sounds like what it sounds exactly like one of those songs
in the world. Yeah, yeah. Any of those songs? Were they written
specifically for some cause? Yeah. So somebody can gouge the
public for all these donations?
Well, I certainly hope it's a secret agent Paul, may it become
a big success for you.
Yeah, that was good. Man.
Funny. We got great producers. Um, wow, did you see Rosie
O'Donnell? No, oh,
I'm you know, maybe I did. But I don't remember.
So I started to break this up into multiple clips and then
said, you know, screw it. We just have to play this. This
there's so much to unravel in, in the universe, and she may
have her own universe actually. She may be in something that
completely all do her own. And she was in Washington DC I guess
there was a big demonstration or a demonstration if it was big
enough demonstration before the speech. And she got up and I
just want to share this with you and we'll stop as appropriate.
Hello, Washington
DC look at this crowd of 1.8 million people.
It right off the bat. She's trying to do a joke. Yeah, it
falls flat. It's just It's no time at
all. Are you doing a joke in front of a is very, very
difficult. is not good because nobody, you know for what no one
can hear you, right? Yeah, it's dumb.
This is Donald Trump, math ladies and gentlemen, you say,
the media buys it. We hold these truths to be self evident that
all men are created equal,
she decided the way to go here was to recite a little bit of
our Constitution,
that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable
rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. And that to secure these rights, governments are
instituted among men deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed and whenever any form of government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it
Ah, I see where she's going
from the Declaration the Declaration
of Independence Yes, I'm sorry.
To Institute
we want her run into place
much better than his pathetic privileged criminal business.
Wow, I want that on my business card. I am a criminal white
privilege businessman.
Oh no white privileged criminal businessman Pleasure to meet you
sir.
I would like to say she's she's she's
a there's that you gotta get that ISO. That's a beauty.
Excuse me.
Is it knee is it yet?
me yet? But she's hysterical. Hysterical. Yeah, of course. I
had that ice out
we've seen what you have done, sir. We have seen your
connections with Russia. Game is over the Internet rules.
Oh, stop. There it is. The Internet rules were all yet
done.
Oh, media is universal matters, even if our major media
companies will call Him a liar way. Well, he lies he lies. He
lies Power Man. She's She's insane. He lies. He lies, lies
yet, and it's about time they all started saying that instead
of it appears as if he hasn't been speaking the truth. down to
the lowest common denominator like he does. I got a very good
presidency. Really good idea. This idea is going to play ugly
and good. And lots of people are talking about it.
Oh, now she's doing impersonations. I think of
Trump.
Oh, that's the one that got Trump riled up a years ago and
that's when he started calling her a P Oh, that's okay. She did
an invitation before and it's just the worst.
This idea is going to be ugly and good. And lots of people are
talking about it. It's a big league. Good idea. Well tell
that to Ryan Owens father, sir.
Oh, I love this. Who's abusing who now?
How dare you Donald Trump. This is America. It is not yours. It
is not corporately owned. It is of the people by the people and
for the people and we will not stand for it. He has degraded
and bullied women his entire life in Korea. The president of
the United States has been accused of rape. Many many times
report bad news papers.
Whatever happened all those accusers just disappeared? Yeah,
that's interesting.
That's the fat Jack. Okay, baby. Fat gal from now on down and
dirty like Donald Trump. Big words. Just the truth. And you
know what the truth is a very handsome conservative man
stopped me on my way up with his iPhone, dancing with his
charming Irish 30 year old face. If George Soros had paid me to
come here, and I said, Sir, I have never met George Soros. But
he seems like A lovely man. One day I'd like to share a souvlaki
with him.
Now this is interesting because she's now presuming that Soros
is Greek I guess.
Typical is Yeah,
I bet bigoted much. Soros is Hungarian. Not so Greek,
but he seems like a lovely, lovely man. One day I'd like to
share a superblock with him. I've only met your friend
Donald, two times. Once at his wedding. Tomorrow Naples, where
he shook the hands of the guests at the wedding as he walked down
the aisle to take his vows. Warning. Warning. Warning Will
Robinson
does she's doing the robot? From Lawson's? It's actually Danger
Danger. Will Robinson not warning. She's off her rocker.
This is good
time at a game show. I don't know when I know he's a bully.
He's a mean man. He hates women taking away women's rights. And
we will not
stand. He's taken away women's rights.
I'm here with I'm here with the NAACP. I'm here with Flint,
Michigan and clean water for every American will get peace
and don't feel
sorry. Oh my goodness. Poor rose. You know, I I helped her
get started in show business ever tell you that story.
Okay, here we go. Yeah.
I just remembered at MTV. We had VH, one at the time. And she was
doing comedy stand up and like rascals in West Orange, which is
pretty small place and she was not really getting anywhere very
much. And Steve Leeds who he was like, Director of on air talent,
whatever it was, who now does the same job at Sirius XM. He
said, I really want to get Rosie O'Donnell on VH one. So, Adam,
would you please do the audition with her? And so essentially, I
sat there and she talked and just made jokes about me the
whole time. Which was, yeah, Adam curry like you're such a
Barbie doll. Like you have Mattel stamped on your but it
was marginally funny. But that's how she got started. Then she
got on VHS one. And that's how her career was launched. So I
take full responsibility. I'm very sorry.
Yeah, you could have just gone back to the guests that you
know, she sucks. Really bad. Don't put her on. It shouldn't
be a huge mistake in your career.
I actually went to see her and at rascals in West Orange. She's
She was funny. I like I liked her. But this is
that's what you brought on us. Thank you very much. You're
welcome.
Now of course, yeah. And yeah. Now of course, she's talking
about impeachment. We're still on this 25th amendment thing.
And let's bring on another comedian Kathy Griffin might as
well bring her on MSNBC and see what she has to say about it.
Look, Chris, I feel like this whole crowd they are truly going
to go down. The good news is as I say to my younger friends,
don't forget Agnew resigned before Nixon. So there can be a
situation where more than one person goes down. Well, Chris,
please tell me you're never gonna let go of this Russian
ties story. I really think that's the one I think it's
bipartisan. No, I think there's so much there.
Now. They're all in this Russia thing they can be they can be
very sadly disappointed. And Rob Reiner, of course, another
Hollywood.
Rob Reiner. By the way, what recommend people on Twitter,
first of all, follow me at the real divorce real door. But you
should follow Rob Reiner, because he it's like listening
to the rantings of a complete off the rails lunatic. It's very
good stuff.
And he was on Chris Matthews. And he is convinced that Trump
will be impeached or quit or something like that. And of
course, that would mean that Mike Pence will become the
president of the United States. And so as they're watching some
B roll of pence here is I think it was a Matthews with Rob
Reiner. But he's
also sitting there saying, I am going to be the president pretty
soon. As soon as, as soon as all the connections to Russia, and
how it was coordinated. He's making all the money and the
anchor. Do you think he's the Laker?
Listen, if I were if I weren't pence, I'd be leaking like a
sieve. I mean, he has a chance to become president.
And let us hope that never happens. will ruin it for us?
Yeah, well,
maybe not. Boring, as boring.
Well, there's that yeah, definitely won't be fun.
I have a couple more just quick things before we go to a break
on the heels of all of this show business stuff. Lots of
commercial Questions about people in show business and
their role in politics. Oprah was at a Bloomberg forum and was
commenting on Donald Trump's presidency in relation to
herself. So have
you ever thought that given the popularity you have, we haven't
broken the glass ceiling yet for women that you could actually
run for president and actually be elected?
I actually never thought that that was I never considered the
question. Even a possibility. I just thought, oh, oh,
because it's clear that you don't need government experience
to be elected president. Oh, gee, I don't have the
experience. I don't know enough. I don't know. And now I'm
thinking, Oh, all right.
I'd vote for she could miss it's always overlooked is that Trump
actually has been kind of playing with the ideas since
1996.
Long time ago. And on Oprah, even there's no, I don't have
any clips. What have you looked for? We I think we had that clip
of Trump on Oprah. And he's saying the same thing. Same
things exactly the same things.
Then we have Scratch is not easy.
Let's see. Ben Stein, on CNN really only pulled this clip
because he uses the verbiage appropriately.
Did you hear what he said yesterday at CPAC? Where he's
talking about the media.
I saw some of it actually on CNN if you were accepting him, Yes.
He he said he he's he said that. He called the media the enemy of
the people, which is what we heard him say before on Twitter.
So he he said that out loud. He accused the media of making
things up of making up sources. Is that I mean, is that
something you would give credence to or what's going on
there with what he's saying? Well,
I wouldn't say that all of the media is the enemy of the
people. But look, every day you pick up the new york times every
day the slamming, slamming, slamming. I'm a great fan of
CNN. I watch it quite faithfully. Every day. Shannon
is slamming him slamming him slamming whatever you got.
Man, the slamming mean.
Slamming I have one last name for this little segment. That
the end of the speech of course, they had to have this counter
speech. That was hilarious. So they got this guy Steve Bashir,
who was he's not even in politics anymore. It's just
read. He's retired. And they have him sitting in what looks
like a movie set. But as a diner of some sort with everybody is
motionless. It's like the mannequin Mannequin Challenge.
Yes. And so he starts off right away first with a huge flub.
That was off the rails as far as I was, uh, what is he reading?
And then he gives us his background. As soon as he gives
the background I just stopped. I said he's not good. And I
actually did take another couple of tastes. All he does talk
about himself. He never talked about the speech. I don't know
that he heard it. But this is pretty this is what you can see
where I stopped.
I'm Steve Beshear. I was governor of Kentucky from 2007
to 2015. Now I'm a private citizen. I'm here in Lexington,
Kentucky, some 400 miles from Washington, at a diner with some
neighbors, Democrats and Republicans where we just
watched the president's address. I'm a proud Democrat. But first
and foremost, I'm a proud Republican and Democrat and
mostly American Republican and Democrat.
What do you think that was written that way? Or
does he know he's I have no idea how he got to repeat for one and
I had to go look him up to make sure that he wasn't say one
point a Republican. No, he wasn't. He's a Democrat. So he
was never a Republican. But how's he a proud Republican,
Democrat, Republican, public and Democrat. And so I don't know
where he why that popped into his brain or why he said it here
and that's a property it wasn't moving or jerked around. I mean,
it could flash maybe I don't know me.
I'm a proud Republican and Democrat and mostly American.
And like many of you,
roll it back a little more. Here we go. Democrats are more
diverse. Democrats and Republicans. Were we just
watched the president's address. I'm a proud Demak grant, okay,
but first and foremost, I'm a proud Republican and Democrat
and mostly American.
It is analogous for the Democratic Party
was to me I was just a jaw dropper. It's like what are you
saying? was so importantly in my being a Democrat as I'm a proud
Republican,
Democrat and American Democrat? Oh, man.
Anyway, he continues and you can see like, it's not much left
because I couldn't take it after he said the last his last words
and his little clip was like, I'm now listed as a guy. I'm a
proud
Republican and Democrat and mostly American. And like many
of you, I am worried about the future of this nation. Look in
Kentucky and a small town called Dawson springs. My dad and
granddad were Baptist preachers. My family owned a funeral home
and we're done.
And with that, I'd like to thank you very much for your courage

you guys keep me sane ATM Mark, can we give him some
jobs? Karma is what do you need jobs?
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs for jobs.
And make sure you don't stand up when you say it. Nancy.
Nancy, that concludes her little group of executive producers and
Associate Executive Producers top notch quality folks. Yes.
And then no agenda show 908
Thank you very much. 909 big one coming up. Nice. Palindrome
number, I'm sure we'll figure something out to do. Sine. Oh,
91909 kind of funny together, for sure. These are real
credits. That's why you're at the front of the show. Executive
producers, Associate Executive producers. And unlike Hollywood,
we will not put you in the dead segment if you aren't dead. So
we're much better than that. And remember, we have another show
coming up on sunday.org/and. Maybe you got some dead people
hanging around the house, go over there. Say hey, you know
what, I gotta propagate the formula. Our formula
is this. We go out. We had people in the mouth
I did want to share this article with you from The Guardian.
Again, from truly a different dimension. They have a thesis on
how internet porn caused the rise of Donald Trump. Oh, yeah.
How?
That's the thesis. That's one. That's one for the
books. Yeah. And it's a very, it's a very long thesis. But the
idea is Internet porn makes us more gullible. Because of
course, when you're watching porn, the woman didn't actually
want to pay for the pizza with sex instead of you know, money.
So but we because porn brings us the stories which is, by the
way, probably the oldest porn storyline in the in the world,
you couldn't come up with a better one than that. The pizza,
the pizza guy, the pizza delivery guys. Don't have any
money. Okay? Internet porn gives us a skewed view of the world.
You got to read it. It's,
yeah, well send me a link or put in the show notes. Do both
actually
sent me a link to the show. It's just insane. The things that are
pretty
far out there. Yeah. Well, everyone's looking for the
train. They can't. Nobody just wants to step back and say, hey,
the same thing with parliament. Hey. And I've said it in a
couple of tweets where it says the Labour Party doesn't care
about labor. If you step back and say, Hey, there's a bunch of
people here that used to work for a living and now we won't
even give them welfare. And they're not voting for us. I
don't understand why they voted for this crazy Trump. I
don't understand. Yeah.
I do have some MP question time if you want to.
I always love that. And I would love to do some Euro land news
because I do have a couple
of this will transmit transmission is right into your
accent some Euro land news, too. But alright, so we have a couple
of interesting questions that came up. We haven't done this
for a while because you haven't been good. But first of all,
let's get it straight about. This was a guy from Ireland,
Northern Ireland who was different belt fest area and
he's into some crazy party. He's not a laborer. He's not
conservatives, the Democrat, something something party. And
he has a very humorous question on Article 50. And I guess some
of the there's a lot of inside jokes here about the fact that
Tony Blair, and so I think another PM, been going around
saying Brexit was a bad idea, and that this whole thing's a
soft coup. And so this guy kind of brings a question two to
Theresa May, who's actually laughing heartily during the
whole thing.
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister, I'm sure kind of field have
noticed the intervention by two former prime ministers recently
in relation to the Brexit debate. And as a result, very
helpful. They were I'm sure, I'm sure the I'm sure the prime
minister will know of course, what they and everybody else
means by hard Brexit, what is meant by soft Brexit but we're
all I wondering what is meant by a soft coup? And when indeed
when a date when indeed it might be triggered, and when we will
know if it's been triggered. Perhaps the prime minister can
elucidate on that as well since it's been so helpful another so
many other ways. Buchi take the opportunity today, however, to
make it clear that whatever former prime ministers Miss say
or whatever members of the unelected opera house may say,
the reality is that turret clown to trigger Article 50 By the end
of March, is now clearly on track.
I think the most honorable gentleman for the question that
he's asked it is indeed my plan to trigger by the end of March.
And when I refer to that I refer of course to triggering of
article 50. rather than attempting to trigger any coup
soft or otherwise take place. It is still our intention to do
that. I think it is important the article 50 Bill Of course
does respond to the judgment of the Supreme Court, but it also
ensures that we are responding to the voice of the United
Kingdom when people voted to ensure that we do leave the
European Union and that is what we will do.
Now I think you have the same clip of the of the vote that
took place regarding your EU nationals who are already let's
see where it is now. Dammit, who are already in the UK. And this
was a I don't I don't have a
clip of I do.
I do I do here it is. So they voted. The House of Lords kind
of defied the Brexit vil bill by saying the 3 million EU citizens
who are here already will get to stay after Britain's big point
of contention. Yes. And so they basically are forcing Theresa
Mays hand on this British ministers
are expected to try to overturn an embarrassing defeat in the
House of Lords on the government's Brexit bill when
the legislation returns to the House of Commons. peers in the
upper chamber defy Prime Minister Theresa May in favor of
an opposition amendment guaranteeing the rights of EU
nationals living in the UK after Brexit voted. The government
said The defeat was disappointing but made clear
they're determined to reverse it in the lower chamber
256. So the contents
these people need to know now, not in two years time or even 12
months time. They simply can't put their lives on hold. I now
want to say to the government, you can't do negotiations with
people's futures. They're to preface to be used as bargaining
chips.
Mrs. May has previously argued that governments will take
decisions on EU immigration,
there will still be people coming to the United Kingdom
from the European Union when we leave the EU. The crucial issue
is that it is this government that will be making decisions
about our immigration system for people from the European Union.
There is a growing consensus that this issue must be resolved
before article 50 is triggered. And the Prime Minister is
becoming increasingly isolated
trickery all kinds of trickery going on.
Well she's not becoming a slave by any means. And this is just
the House of Lords this is just they're just talking about the
3000 or so people that are their servants
I'm telling you the unelected House of Lords Oh, we can't have
that when you might need my Polish and and he got
these people here and we've been well trained. They know the
building they know they weren't the office
that I totally agree with you man. The Right Honourable Mr.
Dvorak.
So they do the only other one I have something that I thought
was kind of funny. It was a little light, but it was it was
about an important point which is to get to get microbeads out
of the environment and I don't know if you know that what's a
micro bead well micro beads I remember the first time I
encountered micro beads and this is silly but it was it was a
hand it was a washing solution made by oil of old ladies and it
was it was a my and you could use it against when I was at
Tech TV they use a ton of makeup on me and make me presentable
and you have to watch this
that's a bit of a microaggression by the way a
just microaggression
yeah and so they against myself and so then you use this stuff
was great because it was these little micro beads and it just
rip everything off your face it was did a very good job of
cleaning but didn't they realize that this stuff goes into the
environment to end up with with this little speech here by this
female I think she's on the Conservative Party. Making sure
that the government there is doing something about this piece
by the way now was using these things 12 years ago and it must
be tonnage of them these beads in the environment.
Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, perhaps you like many
other honourable friends and members here today took a shower
this morning
a questionable they are after all British. You remember when
that used to be the the general theme certainly in Europe I'm
sorry for interrupting. No one when I was growing up in
Amsterdam, so now we're talking early 70s. The British were
always seen as thin smelly and bad teeth.
Right? And they actually adhere was Same thing you'd think of
the Brits is this bad teeth smelly never took a shower and
the French were also accused of smelly, smelly, smelly, never
took a shower and had armpit hair. Armpit hair. That's right.
That was the stereotype.
Yeah. And now of course, we know that British is the stereotype
is Adele.
Right? Hello. Anyway,
I am sure Mr. Speaker, you were very careful to check whether
the shower gel contained microbial products containing
the can result in trust of this fascinating question. Let's hear
it. Products containing shower gel products containing them can
result in 100,000 microbeads, or plastics being washed down the
drain every time we use them into the water system and then
into the marine environment damaging these precious
habitats. Would the Prime Minister join with me in
welcoming the steps that this government is taking to
introduce a ban on microbeads use in cosmetics and personal
care products with a consultation ending just a few
days ago?
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I think i i think i
should i think i think i should say for clarity to members of
this house that I'm not in a position to know whether or not
you took a shower.
She's pretty funny. I like her. She doesn't tell anyone eat the
cheese off of her bread.
But in responding my my honourable friend, my honourable
friend has raised a very important point. And it is
completely unnecessary to add plastics to products like face
washes and Body Scrub where harmless alternatives can be
used, as she referred to at the end of her question, our
consultation to ban microbeads in cosmetics and personal care
products close recently. We're aiming to change legislation by
October 2017. And we also asked for evidence of what more can be
done in future to prevent other sources of plastic from entering
the marine environment because we are committed to being the
first generation ever to leave the environment in a better
state than it was inherited. I'm sure that together we can all
work to bring an end to these harmful plastics clogging up our
oceans.
Yes. You know, she said in future
of course she did. In future when I'm with wearing headscarf
and I'm in country
it's dropping these. Now I
think you have this clip, but I'll play it or at least this
this report I think this is from your own news about Marine LePen
and the European Union has these they're so anti free speech in
the European Union. They are now have taken away her
parliamentary immunity for a couple of tweets she has sent
out Marine LePen has
just done just as background this word done reads these
tweets are not no no.
They're two years old tweets two years old. Yeah, this is the
same thing that did with Kid filters. It oh, we're gonna take
you to court. We're suing you for riling people up against
Muslims.
Right. They've taken her to court before she won the case.
But yes play
and I said marine but I mean Marie Marie
Marine LePen has lost her EU parliamentary immunity. European
Union lawmakers have lifted the exemption which shielded the
French presidential candidate from prosecution. The leader of
France as far right from Nasional is under investigation
in France for posting three graphic images of Islamic State
executions on Twitter in December 2015. They included the
beheading of American journalist James Foley, the votes passed,
which
by the way is bullshit, because there was no actual video of the
beheading. You saw him with a knife and then it will fade to
black and then you'd remember that and then you saw some
head was on top of the mass of jacked up things so
that she could not have tweeted some that actual event was not
on video December.
That's kind of beside the times 15.
They included the beheading of American journalist James Foley.
The vote passed on Thursday by a large show of hands in the
plenary of the EU Parliament confirming a preliminary
decision taken on Tuesday by the Legal Affairs Committee of the
EU legislature. Marine LePen now faces possible legal action
against her defense being considered is publishing violent
images that can carry a penalty of three years in prison to find
of 75,000 euros
How does that work? Are these EU laws are they have French laws?
I think their EU laws maybe their French laws is so dumb.
No, it's not just dumb. It's it goes against base Human rights I
would say
this, it's very strange. I mean, my reports not much different
minds came from our tea. So they have a little more of the needle
in there because of their, their, their, their take on it.
We want to listen to it. Yeah, might as
well. Hello again now French presidential candidate Marine
LePen could face up to three years in prison that after the
EU parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of
removing her immunity over images. She tweeted of Islamic
State executions
if you have immunity. Isn't the whole point that you have
immunities you can do things like this which would be edgy.
And you can't
you can't change the immunity ex post facto I mean, that's the
word our constitution that's legit. But what did the guy do?
I kicked the can down the road. Oh, let's make a law against
that and then charge him with kicking the can down the road
last week. If you can't do that. That's illegal.
You can in the US? She tweets Yeah. By the way,
that means in the EU, they can do all kinds of damage. That was
the back. That's just though. That's just not fair. It's
not fair. It's not fair. Man. It's take text back in 2015.
Well, back then a French journalist compared the pens
ideas that have Islamic States and in response to the pen
posted three graphic images of the of ISIL killings with the
caption, this is ISIL but only now is her tweet caused uproar
with EU officials. Well, Artie got comments from the Secretary
General for an EU organization for which the pen is the CO
president.
It's the poor way of EU globalists and an easy
hypocritical excuse to target Marine LePen it's the same
maneuver used against Brexit and Trump. The people are not blind
anymore. We are confident she'd win any potential trial in this
case, if that
ever happens.
Well, a second round of voting on the pen community could take
place this week. For her privilege to be revoked. The VAT
vote requires unanimous decision by EU lawmakers. This isn't the
first time the French National Front leaders been caught up in
an immunity scandal either. Back in 2013. She compared Muslims
praying outside the building to announce the occupation. But in
December of 2015, those charges were dropped. Under the free
speech act. My colleague Ian O'Neill
goes on with more moaning I
just want to stay in France for one moment, we have another
contender called Swathi.
But before you go to that, I just want to say I think the
French public which is keep it very well informed. It's got to
see this and this is like a promotion for her. Totally.
Totally is asking for trouble. They're turning they're gonna
make her win. Yep.
Yep. Then I think the same might happen in the Netherlands with
feared builders. I gotta find out when they're voting that
must be coming up pretty soon. Here's one of the contenders.
Francois Fillon. He's had a lot of problems. And this is not
good, because the elites certainly don't want LePen to
win. So I guess they had some hope on this guy, but it's not
looking good for him.
Francois CO has suffered yet more blows in his bed to become
the president of France, Western ever deepening financial scandal
looming over him. He's lost the support of a centrist party and
a key member of his campaign team. BRUNO Lemaire, who's
resigned beyond delayed a visit to the Paris agricultural fair,
which fueled speculation he was on the brink of quitting. But
speaking earlier, he was defined, as you know, on this
thing is indeed a political assassination, he says but
through this disproportionate attack, without a known
precedent, to the choice of this date, it's not only me there
assassinating, it's the presidential election. Phil has
lost the backing of the UTI party, who suspended support for
him after it was announced the Republican was to be put under
formal investigation over the scandal now known as Penelope
gate. Rivals Emmanuel Macron and Marine LePen have both visited
the agricultural fair in recent days on the campaign trail
opinion polls currently have field behind the far right
candidate LePen and centrist Macron, who's consolidating his
status as favorite to win a second round head to head
against the National Front leader. Despite stepping down
the polls feels still the only candidate who secured the 500
signatures needed from local nurse to run for president
socialist candidate Bonior more lies force in the polls.
I think LePen has a real shot at this. April 23 is the French
election March 15th. Will be the Dutch election. We'll be
following that obviously that's coming up. And while we're on
the topic of this, no nations no borders globalist New World
Order. I had this clip for a couple of weeks now. finally
time to play it. Faraj explains what motivates globalists.
So the nation state is such an obvious arrangement it was
organic people created them because they wanted them. I
guess the obvious question is why did so many people in power
spend so much time trying to obliterate them? What was their
motive?
Well, one The motives was that France and Germany every 25
years kept fighting each other. So they kind of wondered, they
kind of wondered how do we stop the Germans from crossing the
Rhine and trying to smash the French and they thought if they
merge the two countries, that might be a way to do it. But
just as with communism, the big idea that came before this, the
road to hell can be paved with good intentions. The mistake
they made was this, provided nation states are democratic,
they will not fight and they will not go to war with each
other. And if you try and give people a false identity, a false
flag, a false god, if you like, then they will rebel and turn
against it. And I think that what the European Union was, was
kind of a prototype for a bigger form of global government, and
had Hillary Clinton won, you would have become part of it. So
thank goodness that Trump has stopped the route.
And oh, how they laughed at me when I said this was the plan
years ago, whose day you watch, I would bring up the Trilateral
Commission and the New World Order, you would chuckle
I've always been against the US formation and its development.
Right. But you know, and I've always been against one world
government. Okay, good. I want to say no, and I wasn't laughing
at you over that. Okay. And who's they? I'm only a single
person. So they had to be able to Hey,
everybody, everyone who called me, they're against me. They
hate me. I'm not paranoid. In the morning to James Thompson.
for Lent, he is going to completely eliminate all new
sources and only rely on the best podcast and universe. A lot
of people a lot of people are giving up Facebook for Lent.
That's an interesting trend. Yeah,
that's a smart move.
Yeah, it's a very interesting trip. Because I think what
happens if you go away for for it's 40 days Lent, if you go
away for 40 days, when you come back? I think the algorithm just
will eliminate you. I'll never see you again. You'll never
exist. Well, seriously. Someone doesn't post for 40 days. I
think it's going to affect the algos.
Yeah, good. So I'm going through good. Yes. Good. I think so I'm
going to fight. You know, one of the things that just a little
off topic. I use Yelp occasionally for certain kinds
of things. But you have to kind of read between the lines with
the output. Yeah, I'm
not a big fan myself.
Yeah, I use it. I've used it since it started. And I use it
but I have to be careful because there are people like my
favorite example is that French Laundry that's great. One of the
greatest restaurants in the world. It's up in wine country,
right friends, yes, up there in a young Ville area. And once
I've been once the one woman gave it one star, scabies
getting five, so five stars, five stars, to give it Yeah. But
they have Michelin stars, don't they? Yeah, they got three. It's
very rare. She gave it one star on Yelp, which is the lowest
rating you can get, because it didn't have enough vegan dishes
caught. So I'm reading along. And so again, I'm always kind of
fascinated by the other dimension and the way they think
and the way they operate and all this kind of the new sociology
of the millennials. And I ran into this one star review for
the Berkeley bowl, West, which is what this Berkeley bowl, it's
turned into one of the greatest grocery stores I think I've ever
been into anywhere in the universe. And the Berkeley bowl,
and there's two of them. And they're both in birth, this stem
from a bowling alley that they turned into a food food stall.
And then it grew and again became a full blown store with
the meat department and everything it would kill Whole
Foods, head to head under any circumstances. So there's a show
here's a woman that gave it one star and I'm assuming what the
hell. So I'm looking at this I work nearby, she writes, I want
you to the Berkeley bowl an afternoon break. And this to me
is an example of the millennials that we have to we're going to
have to deal with for the rest of our lives. I went to Berkeley
bowl when I needed a long walk I would been having a very bad day
at work and I've thought maybe it would treat a bad day at work
doesn't help. I thought maybe I would treat myself to something
sweet. My go to foods vice for distressing is ice cream. So I
went to the frozen foods aisle. At the time Berkeley bowl had
these really expensive ice cream treats by a brand called cool
house which resembles a gourmet it. They were an elaborate
cookie with exotic ice cream flavors at $5. They were way way
too expensive. I admired the cookie sandwich in the freezer,
she goes on about these things. She says I'm gonna treat myself
I confess I was quite embarrassed about buying a $5
dessert I felt silly and excessive. I didn't really make
that much at my job. I work retail but this was some special
occasion that was stressed and I thought I would do something
frivolous and nice for myself. When I was in the checkout line.
I started feeling more guilty about buying Seeing the $5 Ice
Cream Sandwich. But I figured the cashiers were professionals
and probably saw people buying excessive and silly food all the
time. And you know what happened? I got to the front of
the line and the two workers as they ran, rang me up started
mocking my purchase to each other, but such that I could
hear them. Quote, why the hell is this worth $5? The guy asked,
I don't know what is it? What even is that? The cashier as
they snickered at it? I was mortified. The one time I moved,
the one fear I had came true. I actually cried about it later.
All I wanted was to treat myself after a stressful day without
fear of reproach or being judged, and the employees made
fun of me. I felt so bad at triggered a bout of sobbing on
the way home. When I passed by Berkeley bowl. I always think of
this moment I do not shop there anymore. Maxine
Oh, man.
Where did this Ultimate Universe story come from?
came from the alternate universe.
And someone sent me an article you'll recall that we had the
report on Sunday that the that CERN said there's no way you're
not in an alternate universe, our machine didn't do anything.
It's crazy to think that way.
This article defensive are we
especially when you look at the article in UK newspaper, this is
August 15 2015. scientists conducting a mind bending
experiment the Large Hadron Collider hope to connect with a
parallel universe outside of our own as a whole story about how
they thought it was possible that gravity may leak between
the parallel universes so they're all in on parallel
universes, which is they have to be that's what they're doing.
But yet, don't worry about it. Nothing and nothing to see here.
It doesn't move along. I'd like to I'd like someone to really
show me way if it's possible. What's going on?
With something's going on. There's no doubt about that.
Yeah, people are listening to the exact same information and
take and have complete different takeaways from
it. Yeah, that's just totally fascinating. It really is. And
so Ivanka is making a head to head ways of talking about
overseas news. headways in China. This is not being
reported by anyone. What is she doing? Well, this is a report
from the if you watch Chinese news, you'll get to hear about
it. She's just being nice. I guess this is the vodka in
China. This was on our tea.
Dozens of Chinese businesses have been naming their products
after Ivanka turbulence in the relationship with Washington.
Artis Emily soon so what role Ivanka Trump could play
in China? Well, fashion giants in the US are busy pulling
Ivanka Trump's products off the shelves to avoid losing their
anti Trump customers. dozens of companies in China are rushing
to cash on the first daughter's name from wallpaper to alcohol
retailers. 65 companies want to use Ivanka as a trademark for
their products. Hashtag Ivanka Trump,
Happy Shopping
tinies Twitter Weibo has an Ivanka goddess fan club 11,000
followers. They think American companies are simply missing the
point and one of the reasons why Chinese people love Ivanka is
this. She made a surprise visit to the Chinese Embassy for Lunar
New Year. Ambassador. Experts say Ivanka has the potential to
become Trump's unofficial ambassador to Beijing.
Ivanka Trump did play a role of like a softening of smoothing
out the controversies created by Donald Trump in terms of the
relationship between the US and China and I think she can play
that role, you know, to narrow the gap, let's say of
understanding or bring the two countries together.
And let's just say Ivanka already found her diplomatic
successor
see. It's Trump's daughter singing some song and with a
brand new granddaughter I present daughter. No, it's the
granddaughter
Ivanka, Ivanka. I got I'm sorry, you said Trump. I just mean
No, Ivanka is great granddaughter daughter with a
scene and something I get over this Chinese I couldn't tell but
she had a marionette of a Chinese dragon bouncing around
and she was playing with it. It's very funny. So yeah, she's
making she's she did this woman is a fantastic asset. She is the
administration
I have isover daughter
Okay, maybe not always good for a cheap laugh.
Funny enough, this photograph of the historically back black
college where they Provost or principals or directors,
traders, administrators, yeah, like with Kellyanne Conway
sitting on the couch. Now, this This is Warren some discussion.
First of all,
if you never said that, by the way, it wouldn't have gotten
this Gus, but I can discuss it. Well,
so there's two sides to this one is why do they release this as
an official photo? And to the the extremes that people are
going to making memes about this, you know, like, it's a big
Bulcock a porn movie instead a Photoshop or in between all
those guys sitting on their knees, just because a woman sits
that way. And all of a sudden, that's a real problem. And it's
completely sexualized. Very in a room was just blank men. Of
course, you found a disturbing,
nice find disturbing that anyone got upset about I really, I saw
the picture I saw Well, there's, well there she is making
yourself comfortable
working about it. It looks like she's sitting there and she's
working and doing her thing and it doesn't didn't bother me at
all. But then the alternate universe kicked in as well.
Yeah.
Well, and it's just respect for what she doing. Which
dl hewgley Is he still on SNL? Was he ever on SNL dive down?
I don't think he's ever been on SNL. I think he may be as a
guest or a guest host. What does he mean? He does some movies.
Well, he does a morning radio show he's even back announcing a
song which is interesting. I don't know what radio station it
is. Just listen to his takeaway from this photo
that was to pop I mad at you. So I I was, you know, getting up
early going over social media, like I always do preparing for
the show and writing material for the gig and I see a picture
of all of these bright shining faces at SBC, the presidents of
HBCUs. With Donald Trump, I see also see Kellyanne Conway, when
her shoes all folded up on the couch, I'll just say optically,
when somebody important walked into a room, or if you got your
shoes off, and you fold up on the couch, you have little
regard for them at all. You have little regard for them at all.
You don't get up when the help comes in. So you have a little
regard for them at all. And all these HBCU presidents that have
gone to talk to Donald Trump, I'll say this, Donald Trump
didn't care about the students that went to his university.
What the hell makes you think he's gonna care about the ones
that go to yours? Let me tell you some I met read an amazing
article. It was in the room. That, you know, Donald Trump has
the lowest approval rating of any president in history. But
what he does overwhelmingly well is white people, white people
love what he's doing. Those pictures that he takes with
black people aren't for black people. Therefore, white people
better normalize them. That's all well see, look, it's not so
bad. What Donald Trump has been successful in doing. He only
talks to me the news outlets that make him that are favorable
to Him. And He only talks to the black people he thinks they can
get some out of you or a brochure. That's what you were
doing you a brochure must like those brochures you used to
recruit students. That's the brochure.
Your brochure, okay? Makes nothing but sense. So
he's black colleges need a lot of help. And I was recognized I
don't see why that guy would try to submarine the whole thing.
But,
but this is the alternate universe and the ultimate
example of fake news. You know, it's true. It's fake news. It's
fake news. Nothing like a new jingle.
Yeah. Well, anyway, so she I thought there's a couple of
possibilities. One, that couch. I don't know how old that thing
is. But it's, it's a possibility. I mean, besides you
maybe it's very comfortable and you just want to sit down and
like that. But I've been on a couch similar to that. And if
you don't sit on your legs, and you can't do with your shoes on
so you have to put it you can't you can't lean back far enough.
You have to if you sit in it, we there's some couches that will
give you a backache if you don't sit like that, yeah. I mean,
I've run into those couches. I've owned one. And it's a
possibility I just couldn't get that worked up about it. But
everyone got all bent out of shape. Like just, you know, all
these rule followers. Yeah. There's rules that I don't know
about.
It's not our protocol is not our tradition to sit that way. No.
Can't have that. So tiring. I see no letting up either. I see.
Just don't see letting up. It's just continues to go. Continues.
Well, your buddies in the news. Oh, it's just a gratuitous
couple of clips because of you doing this as a favor to you.
Okay. Because Tulsi Gabbard,
oh Oh, yeah, the future President of the United States.
Good be. She goes on to just separate she's associating
yourself a little bit too much with our tea because they're the
only ones that will pick up on what she has to say. Our
mainstream media doesn't care. And before well after this is
one real interesting story that the mainstream media is
completely ignoring. But let's listen to Tulsi give her
bitching and moaning about the Syria.
Meanwhile, US Jabra one wants representative Tulsi Gabbard has
called on the White House to curb its support for Syrian
rebel groups. She was joined by colleagues and anti war
activists on Capitol Hill.
For years, the US government has been supporting armed militant
groups who are working directly with and oftentimes under the
command of terrorist groups like Al Qaeda in their fight to
overthrow the Syrian Government, the fact that our resources are
being used to strengthen the very terrorist groups that we
should be focused on defeating should alarm every member of
Congress and every American. This madness must end.
And where was this speech given?
was? This was after some legislation? I think she's
promoting it. I just said it would look to me there's outside
Washington know, outside the capitol of the Capitol building.
And they you know, nobody wants to talk to her just set bar tea,
because she's not playing ball.
No, she's
not a second part, you're gonna get kicked out of something
pretty soon.
Well, she's on the Armed Services, I think, which is a
good committee that's gonna be competitive with McCain. Yeah, I
think he's the head of IT. Yeah. So she's moaning and groaning.
Here's part two,
I is it such a difficult position to take to say that we
should stop arming extremist groups overseas.
It's really not a difficult position, nor should it be. I
think every American would be surprised to know that for
years, our government has been providing both direct and
indirect support to these armed militant groups who are working
directly with or even under the command of terrorist groups like
Al Qaeda and ISIS all in their are their effort and fight to
overthrow the Syrian government. Our bill does a simple thing.
And it says that our taxpayer dollars should not be used to
provide arms money, intelligence or other types of support to
militant groups who are working with allied with terrorist
groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS, nor should we be funneling
taxpayer dollars through countries like Saudi Arabia,
Turkey, Qatar, and others who are providing this direct and
indirect support to terrorist groups.
What do you make of Trump's proposal to defeat ISIS? Is it
possible to do this without further US troop commitment, or
further US military involvement in a country like Syria?
Again, I call on the Trump administration to end this
counterproductive regime change war in Syria, and this crazy
policy that we have been conducting and providing this
support to militant groups that actually are working with al
Qaeda, therefore strengthening terrorist groups like Al Qaeda
to overthrow this government.
speaking truth to power?
Yeah, get her nowhere.
No, I don't think so. Sadly, no, you have so let's get I was
gonna say what what has been handled in in chambers in the
house was blockage of a resolution entered by Skrill
from New Jersey, under I think the law is from 1924. The Ways
and Means Committee is empowered to examine tax returns. This is
again, you know, the off we have to see Donald Trump's tax
return, because that will, of course, hold the key to his
secret connection to Russia, which is ludicrous. It's
ludicrous. Anyone who thinks that's in the tax return. So 229
Republicans voted against that. And so that's not going to be
continued to not be necessary. It's not a requirement anyway.
But I think they're also doing it on their own behalf. They
don't want anyone getting their tax returns either.
Well, the one story just jumped ahead of the of the media not
covering Tulsi. The story that's going around that is you can
find it on on the net. But you won't find it at CBS, NBC, ABC,
CNN or anyplace else, but I think it will have to be told
before and it's going to be they're working on how to
downplay it, I'm sure. But Pablo Escobar son has come out and
said that Pablo Escobar, the great drug dealer was Ben was
working for the CIA from the get go. Really? Yeah. And he's got a
book coming out and he's gonna have to hit the book circuits
and they're not going to be able to ignore him.
Fantastic you have a clip on this or not i There's no clip oh
this is
not covered by anyone you have to type in you have to go to
your Google and it's in storage is broken you know a couple of
days ago like the 23rd you have to go type in and see what I
type in on this one are you being hot you Escobar son CIA
and you'll get all the stories. Here's one on some the falling
darkness website. Pablo Escobar son reveals his dad worked for
the CIA selling cocaine media silent Mr. headline and it goes
on about in a new book Pablo Escobar in in Fleur infra
garante should be flagrant dead think he lives under the
pseudonym Juan Sebastian Maura, Ken explains his father worked
for the CIA selling cocaine to finance the fight against
communism and Central America right? Where Iran Contra. We
already know or knew this. But now it's turns out that there's
you know, just more and more confirmation about the CIA's
involvement to such an extreme that it's embarrassing, and no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do not really expect
CBS to report on that.
CBS would be the last one. But they're going to have to, as
this story keeps going on and people keep pointing.
I'll put a link to this in the show notes. A couple of people
in the chat room already finding stuff. This is very interesting.
Yeah, that's very interesting. totally ignored.
But according to Rosie O'Donnell, you know, the
Internet of rules and the the media is, is everywhere, so they
can't stop it.
I think in this regard, at some, at some level, they can't,
well, no, they won't matter, it won't matter. Now, it doesn't
really just be a bunch of crackpots saying this stuff.
Speaking of books, I do have a couple of questions about this
one,
I want to know what you think about the book deal from the
shell and Barack Obama $65 million, one book from
each shoe this guy is but he had a funny commentary on the book
deal.
Can you say? Well, I liked Obama's previous book, because
it was one of the great works of fiction, you know, with his
composite girlfriend and his imaginary racist white friend,
you know, and he wrote, I remember, he wrote about his
grandfather in Indonesia, who supposedly died in the colonial
struggle against the Dutch but actually died falling off a
chair while changing the drapes. So if he manages to come up with
as spectacular a work of friction, as as that last one,
this will be up there in Harry Potter country, I'm hoping he
will have like a composite Johannes he releases from Gitmo
to go off and kill people around the world or maybe an imaginary
ISIS commander, that he that he drones in his sleep. I think
this could be as I said, right up there with JK Rowling is one
of the great works of fiction.
Now stepping from the straddle into the other universe. If the
shoe were on the other foot, I believe it would be easy to say,
Whoa, maybe this is a pay off who is paying for these books?
And is this a normal amount of money? John C. Dvorak, the
Honorable publishing? Well,
from my experience, is that very abnormal, but it's not. It's
always presuppose that because this book deal came out of an
auction, and the auction the auction market isn't what it
once was. But the auction used to be a you'd have a book
proposal and you'd have an agent agents always do these these
auctions, the agent would call a number of publishers that might
be interested. And because it's going to be an auction, they
would inform the publishing companies that we're going to do
an auction for the book on and they have a date and time and
it'd be a huge conference call. And with all these different
people from that area, Penguin here, Penguin, yeah, Penguin at
random, so I'm over I'm on I'm on I'm good. So everyone checks
in. And then they said we'd like to start the opening bid for the
book, Fred $10 million and maybe some silence and maybe one guy
jumps in and said says okay, I'm I'm in for 10 Okay, we got a
tenant over here and well, you know, there is I don't know how
long this auction took place how long it was, May was an hour
maybe it was 10 minutes? I'm not sure. But but it was the idea on
the agents part is that if you can get a bidding war, right,
you can get these things jack that way up out of control.
They're never gonna get $65 million from sales that I can
assure you and anything so
you know, who did the deal who the publisher is?
Paying? I think it was Penguin i think is the one that with the
boy who owns penguin. Oh, that's probably bird. Well, you and I
don't know you keep talking and I'll look it up. Yeah, anyway,
so they got the book and I think they got stuck and you know a
lot of people at auctions do make of them. mistake of getting
into a bidding war for something they really want. And apparently
they really wanted it. It's rare nowadays. And I mean, I'm not
saying it's not within the realm of possibility that it was a
buyout or a payoff or something. Because that's makes sense. Get
these numbers. But it could have just been a reality of the
situation. Well,
it looks to me universe. This is owned by Pearson, who of course
also do all the educational stuff, don't they?
Pearson is a big conglomerate they have they by publishers and
the yes, they do the educational stuff that we bitch about the
Common Core stuff,
which Obama was a big proponent of I'm just looking for a payoff
if there's anything there.
Yeah, but the book Obama's being a big proponent, didn't give,
you know, didn't really pay the bills, it seems to me didn't do
much. Possibility is a big possibility. Pearson would be it
seems like his son seems. Here's, I'll give you a
corruption strategy.
Let me just give you one other piece of data. Half of it or
part of it is owned by Penguin Random House owned by Pearson,
and Bertelsmann, which is the German media conglomerate, they
Oh, actually, they own 53%. So they own the majority.
Yeah, big operation. So here's Pearson This is just give this
visit one of these stories, the word story love that. Pearson
bought all the computer book, publishing companies, all of
them. They bought. It bought the Simon and Schuster standard, but
can you be thinking half the hall?
Did they buy the ones? O'Reilly did they buy O'Reilly
O'Reilly is the only independent left, right. He's the only one
they bought Peach Pit, they bought everybody. They bought
one after another, they bought Q and Q came came out of Q was an
interesting operation because that was the only hire for
writing uppers. They didn't pay royalties, they would hire you
to do a manuscript. And then you get you get a flat fee, and
you're done. And it wasn't usually that much like 10 grand
or something for a whole book is ridiculous. So here's what they
do. You'd have I had a book, I forgot who it was. And it was
from one of the publishing company. I don't know if I did,
I did this deal. I'm
sure it was MS DOS, telecommunications.
Yeah, it wasn't it. And anyway, so I did this book. And, and
then I started to learn the process. I didn't have a best
seller at this time. But here's what they here's what Pearson
like to do, they bring you in with one of the publishing
houses any number, let's say peach pit or with anybody that
could have been it could have been any house, your book is a
hit. And so now all of a sudden, it is selling and you they're
having to pay you royalties. Immediately Q clones your book,
they hire somebody to write the same book, which is easy enough
to do, you know, the DOS tips or whatever,
and you already have a hit, you have a hit, and then they
haven't you have you have a hit that
is approaching, it's gonna be a hit, if it keeps going. And they
give you some marketing money you get you're gonna make a lot
of money. But instead of doing that, they they put all their
efforts to the queue book of the on the same topic. Yeah. Now,
imagine they own about 30 small computer book publishers, where
there used to be competition between all these different
publishers, they're all in the same group. And everything ends
up getting funneled to Q, because there's no royalty. So
the book becomes exceedingly successful. They keep on they
make all the money and as the writers get paid his fee, and
he's done. And so that's what they do. And so you don't see
the whole computer book business. And the model for it
was completely decimated by these guys
sounds very much like the music business actually with projects
and who's important for the label, etc. very analogous to
that. Well, it's a lot of money. That's for sure. Seems like the
as you said, they can't make it back ever. No. So no, I'm still
looking.
I think your thesis might be correct, and maybe just to pay
off. But isn't
that how you do those things and not what Hillary Clinton did
with all of her speeches? I mean, that to me is all totally
little bribes. Just little little teeny weeny bribes. You
imagine that 30 Ms. A big 5 million you always
do it after the fact. I mean, this is the way you modern
politics would do worse
you always reward when you're when you're done. It's when
you're done if you like the mob, it's no handshake deals based on
trust. Otherwise, you might have to wake up with a hot tub closed
on your something. Exactly, yeah. Said one more thing. Oh,
yes. About the Obamas I just learned today. Valerie Jarrett
is going to be moving into their new home in DC how's that for
creepy?
That's kind of creepy as Oh is the biggest mother in law be
living there too
often? No doubt Well, if Jared was living at the White House, I
didn't even know that she would have meals with the Obamas and
the word is that they're setting up a whole war room and they
know this. They're going to be command central for bringing
down the man.
Yeah, this for all FA Yes,
exactly. Now we'll have to see about that I was so
disappointed. I don't I have not watched this show. Maybe you
watch some weird TV shows sometimes. What is this called?
The detour on TBS.
Oh, yeah, the detour will tell me about here's what here's the
Yes, I do watch it. I have it on the recorder but I'm going to
stop watching it because it's funny. It's, it's It reminds me
a little bit about the original Jack Lemmon. Neil Simon play
where he's in. He's out the what is it called the out and it's
not the outsiders. It's the bad guys in New York City. And I'd
have to You should look this up, go to Jack lemons. Thing and
find it's like one word. Anyway, he goes in New York and all
these bad things happen to him. So these guys move out of Podunk
Ville and they moved to New York because he's got one of them's
got a job and all these bad things start happening to him
because the kids are jerks. And nobody knows how to act like a
New Yorker and they're always making these flubs. The problem
with this thing is it gets annoying at some point. It's not
like the Jack Lemmon movie, which was later done with Steve
Martin, which wasn't as funny. The player No, no, it's like the
outsiders or the for rappeler man, he's
got quite a list of stuff he's done is probably in the 60s 70s
I'll go back to the 60s
kind of get the name of that movie anyway, because people
should see this movie, especially the original Jack
Lemmon version because it's hilarious Dirty
Rotten Scoundrels.
No. No, it's like the something.
The notorious notorious landlady.
Oh, it's like one word. Well, you can keep anyway you can look
it up. Go look it up and meantime. So I got it's like
it's just one of these things that I one thing I don't like
about any sort of drama or even comedy is when you're when it
makes you kind of like cringe. A little too much. It's like, Man,
I don't know if this really happened. Or if it did happen.
This wouldn't be good. But it's cringe without the glasses.
Hilarious. I just can't watch it. It turns out to be on
watchable.
Well, the premise is good. The gags are funny. Well, no, the
gags are not funny. Because they will have some of the gags are
funny how they pooped all over us, man. Okay, I'm ready. They
pooped all over us. What do you do for like, Oh, I'm a freelance
audio documentarian.
Awesome, like, like podcasts and stuff on place
podcasts or verbal narcissism for Ugly journalists. You know,
I tell stories through sound.
His wife makes the money I figured well yeah,
there you go.
Yeah, there was I don't have clips. Sure. I want to get I
think I still have the clips. The family guy did a little slam
Ah, yes. I feel I've don't feel good about that. I can't watch
the show now makes me
well, I'm telling you. It's not what is not a watchable show.
Okay, another tip from your no agenda show.
I'm going to show my school by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
In the Jack Lemmon movie was the out of towners, ah out of
towners. The out of town is a very funny film. And then when
it was redone, it was not funny, which is because they changed
the script. There was a Neil Simon's involvement who was one
of the great writers ever. Anyway. We do have some people

gonna look at our list, John. So you can't complain about the
list. I'm gonna give you the topics on the list and you can
pick one. Okay, good idea, right? This is the infamous no
agenda list.
This is a list of stuff we didn't talk about on a show and
then we we got irked about it and put it on a list so maybe we
could talk about it someday.
Okay, you can choose from Snowdens glasses. Okay, Catholic
Church candles. Then Nightcore Sigma lens dispute. Trump this,
Trump's reelection fundraising or the hit list of Trump people?
That is our list.
Okay, well, I'm gonna start with the one at the top which is the
glasses Snowdens glasses, and now it's background glass
background I have Have a pair of reading glasses that I swear are
the same exact glasses that Snowden has, although his are
good, I think are just, I think this is a just props, I'm not
sure. But we've always bitched about the fact that he's missing
the I think it's the left left nose pad Nose, nose pad on these
glasses, the left nose pad fell off. Oh, so now I have a pair of
glasses, I believe the same brand of glasses without the
left nose pad. They're extremely comfortable without the patch.
So I was waiting for it. Now,
and I'm gonna, I've been trying to analyze this but you
so the right one is still on? Yes. And it's more comfortable
or just extremely comfortable.
It's it might be more comfortable. I'm not sure. But I
know it's comfortable. I wouldn't. It doesn't bother me
that the pad is missing. Because I remember when I've lost pads
before, there'd be some like a piece of metal and would gouge
you. Yeah. It turns out that this these pads, the missing pad
leaves behind a plastic thingy. That is very comfortable.
Wow, what is the brand? What is the brand of this?
Cheap? I don't know what brand it is, offhand. But pretty sure
that the same glasses seems like a good endorsement. Well, well,
yeah. Yeah, lose a pad still comfortable. But I just wanted I
was stunned by how comfortable they were without that with the
missing pad.
on it. I think that still if you're on television, and you
only wear the glasses when you're on television, because we
know he wears. Ever notice that he wears contacts all the time.
But then he's on television he puts on the old glasses. I think
it's just it's an odd look.
We're the only ones that I've done. Have you ever seen it
written up that he's missing a pad? No, I don't believe so. The
media has not covered the missing pad. No. We're the only
show or media outlet of any sort that discusses his missing pad.
And thus the report I just gave a great detail of your great
depth of reporting that you will get no place else. I would
like to play two reports. And the reason why I play them is
because these are actual occurrences with victims with
witnesses with a rest. If you are so interested in pizza gate,
which I guess has just gone away dried up and blown away with the
wind. We have had an Signet pizza gate got stale by the
room. We have had a significant amount of pedophilia pedo sexual
rings rolled up recently I want to play two quick reports of two
of the most recent ones. So look
at these 12 men all under arrest following a child 16 called
Operation Cupid's arrow.
Then Abby, investigators use chat rooms, dating sites, social
media, and even online classified ads. Officials say
they want this to serve as a warning to predators, that they
will find you and arrest you. This type
of crime cuts to the very core of why it's so important that we
keep our children off the internet and at least aware of
what they're doing on the internet and away from these
sexual predators.
Suspects ranging in age from 21 to 70 years old, coming from a
variety of backgrounds including a college student to a well
respected attorney proving child predators come in many different
forms
and that was in Florida. But what happened just this week in
the United Kingdom is really egregious.
A member of a group advising Pope Francis on how to root out
sex abuse in the Catholic Church has quit citing resistance
within the Vatican. Marie Collins, an Irish woman who is
herself a survivor of clerical abuse, said the special
commission had suffered constant setbacks despite the pope
approving all its recommendations.
There are still men in the heart of the church in the Curia in
Rome and the administration of the church, who put other
considerations before working with and cooperating with the
Royal Commission on the protection of minors.
The panel known officially as the Pontifical Commission for
the Protection of minors was set up in 2014 Congress's decision
to leave could undermine its credibility.
With the moment the commission that is charged with speaking to
clergy sexual abuse has no survivors of clergy sexual abuse
on it. Several people have said that it's hard to imagine the
commission having credibility to speak about clergy sexual abuse
if there are no survivors present on the commission.
The initiative by Pope Francis is an attempt to address the
bitter and long standing scourge of child abuse which has dogged
the Catholic Church. The Vatican said Pope Francis had accepted
Collins's resignation with deep appreciation for her work. I
mean, that's the kind of stuff people should be looking at
investigating. I thought that church stuff was all done and we
were we were rid of it now. Now,
you ever see the movie Spotlight by the way? No, I haven't. Oh,
you should. It's a great movie. Tell me. It's about it's about
the spotlight investigative team at the Boston Globe and and when
they went after the Catholic priests
Oh, is that so that's reasonably new than that movie?
The movie was? I think they won the Academy Award for Best Movie
two years ago. Or last year? I'm not sure. No, I'll make sure to
watch that. Oh, no, it was a it's a killer movie. It's very
well done. It pastes nicely. Very modern settings. It's just
it Michael Keaton's the, the editor. It's outstanding film.
Oh, it's good.
Anyway, just want to make sure that people hear that.
All right. Well, let's do one creepy,
creepy note. More. We're talking about that. Beau Biden's Willa
widow, Beau Biden, Joe Biden, Joe Biden died of cancer. Joe
Biden's son his widow is now has an ongoing affair with his
brother with a bow Biden's brother who is marinara. who's
married. Yeah.
Yeah. House wrecker?
Well, apparently the Biden's are okay with it.
Here's a quote. Who knows what else is?
I know, we are all lucky to get the hang on. We are all we're
all lucky that Hunter and Halle found each other as they were
putting their lives together again after such sadness. They
have mine and Jill's full and complete support and we're happy
for them. So is he no longer married?
What about the husband? Is he happy, too?
Nice. There's no quote from him about how happy she is. or
unhappy. All right. Okay.
Let's see.
I get a lot of talk about a Estonia the bull crap going on.
And CBS squid a CBS report to speak again, you know, make
Trump look bad, make the Russians and make the Russians
look bad because the Russians are going to attack us Estonia.
So when they do this report talking about fake news. Listen
to all the little interesting CBS reportage commentary as it
goes along about I mean, it's just it's just mediocre
reporting, if not just misleading, I say misleading.
backway what a US NATO ally is praying for but sharing a border
with Russia. The Estonia fears that Vladimir Putin has been
emboldened by his conquest in Ukraine.
What he's conquest in Ukraine,
what conquest in Ukraine did the Russians take over Ukraine?
That's the story we're never going to hear differently. We're
always going to hear he invaded Ukraine even though no.
It was like the Georgia story which we debunked years ago.
Same thing, the media is just not going to let up with the
meme that they create. And they're going to use this meme.
So just continue this little report and see how much more
bull crap they deliver
as conquest in Ukraine. Elizabeth Palmer is in Estonia.
Please may look like soldiers, actually their ordinary men and
women with day jobs who volunteer in the Estonian
Defence League, a kind of citizens militia. Here they're
competing in an annual exercise. More than 13,000 of them
prepared to rise up if Estonia were attacked. Right now they
believe their aggressive neighbor to the east Russia is
enemy number one, especially after its invasion of Ukraine.
Estonia has a professional military to it was on display in
this weekend's Independence Day Parade. This small country
spends big on defense. It's a fully paid up member of NATO.
And that buys it power for friends. This year, US soldiers
deployed to Estonia were part of the parade. And for the very
first time, they brought tanks.
Nice tanks.
A bunch of tanks. It looks like something in Red Square in the
50s these tanks going down the road. Of course it'll look good.
Yeah, okay, we got the invasion of Estonia. There's a bit of
truth in this at the end because somebody, one of the women who
takes part in these volunteers stuff admits it. The likelihood
of the Russians attacking is zero. But she plays the game
anyway.
American tanks on the streets of Estonia's Capitol send a
powerful signal to the people here that the US will stand by
its NATO allies. They also send a very clear signal to the
Kremlin. That signal, a Russian attack on an Estonia backed by
NATO would be dangerous. Still, not alone. Marga Sokhna is
Estonia's defense minister.
We're sending the message to Russia very clearly that we are
able to speak the same language as Mr. Putin does, and it's a
language that we are ready to fight.
And staying means constant training. On Saturday near the
town of voru. Local women in the Defense League, we're learning
to use GPS equipment for roof mod love, it's about learning
new skills. She doesn't really expect the Russians to invade.
But you're part of this force, that that sends a message. And I
think maybe it's good to have the message.
That message to Russia is loud and clear. Is Estonia is
spending record amounts on its military. And the defense
leagues have never had more volunteers. Elizabeth Palmer,
CBS News, Tallinn, Estonia.
What is the geopolitical significance of Estonia for?
Well, if you look at just part of the former Soviet Union, so I
suppose, because they were promoting the idea that Putin
wants to reestablish it, so they're just going to attack
Estonia for no apparent reason, which is not happening. This is
just another bogus report sells arms stirs up the public.
It's pathetic you know, what the President Trump should do?
Can you imagine what it costs to ship an American tank and then
position it in a Estonia what the cost of that is got to be a
tank it's got to be a rage it was
shipped them to the Netherlands to they've been shipping them
everywhere yeah. What I think probably to
do with all these tanks I don't know let's shipping to Europe
and it's gonna cost a fortune now ship get them out of your
tanks later,
when I think President Trump should do is he should disclose
our multiple alien contacts and make people worried about that
that would really work and maybe make them a little kind of evil
you know, so we still have an enemy
well, they're getting a lot better the some of these alien
document I she was so good one of them so I was gonna clip it
about the incident in 1953 I think we're the were this round
balls were surrounding this bomber, and it was all reported
and it was was made public. And then one day of course, if you'd
listened to these UFO shows, and they're all you're on the
History Channel and a they all Hitler channel, there's a lot of
them on there a all HC HC all Hitler channel. They're on
there. And they have these and they're good readers last UFO
file series, right, which is running right now is quite
entertaining. A lot of documentation, lots of they're
pulling out of the woodwork. A lot of its debunk stuff on the
spot, which I like.
It's interesting that we don't have a whole slew of
conspiratorial voices calling for Trump to disclose this
stuff. Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of the same people who
would be big Trump supporters and would probably believe and
stuff like that. I'm generalizing, obviously, but I
certainly am interested.
Well, the British did it. They released all their stuff and not
much came of it. People look at it. And they knows about these
TV shows. I don't know. It's like just Pablo Escobar thing.
It's repressed,
we do have an event coming, which is special Eclipse, only
viewable from the United States apparently have a report. This
is from your neck of the woods KQED. That would be your your
local public television broadcaster. We're going to
learn anything more this summer with a solar eclipse. So add
solar eclipse solely for the
United States. While this is very exciting. So this August,
August 21, there will be a total eclipse of the sun visible from
one country and one country only, which is the United
States, I'm sure are pro Trump oranges. Yeah, not sure he's
gonna take full credit for this. They're already calling it the
All American Eclipse. And here's the interesting part. The total
eclipse is visible only over a path about 60 miles across. So
you have to be in that 60 mile path to see the total eclipse
and he goes from a beach in Oregon, to a beach in South
Carolina, crossing the United States diagonally, and not one
large city is in that path.
I love how they bring Trump into it.
Oh yeah, he's
gonna claim it. Now. This is the clip. I've been waiting if it's
very short, but I've been waiting to play this for a
while. I think we talked a while back about this fantastic
website that tracks all of the retractions from peer reviewed,
just peer reviewed.
Oh, yeah, yes, you have brought you brought this up before.
And because there is a crisis in the scientific community, and
particularly with MRIs and that kind of brain scanning stuff,
which might explain my ex friend and professors naughty behavior.
And the big problem is reproducibility And this is kind
of the big secret in the scientific community, no one
really wants to talk about it, but people are looking into it.
So the idea here is to take the exact same experiments. And to
try to do the exact same thing,
Dr. Tim Harrington incentive for Open Science at the University
of Virginia, and the leading author in the reproducibility
project, an attempt to repeat the experiments in five landmark
studies in cancer biology to see
if we can get the exact same result. And the idea behind that
is because replication is a hallmark of science.
Despite their best efforts involving a painstaking
attention to detail, the team were only able to partially
confirm two of the original study's findings to more proved
inconclusive. And in the last, the researchers failed
completely to replicate the result.
It's not just an important issue, it's out there. It's at
the heart of the scientific process,
reproducibility rate, the Edinburgh neuroscientist
Professor Malcolm MacLeod says, calls the whole scientific
endeavor into question because
without efforts to reproduce the findings of others, then we
don't know whether these facts that are out there in our
journals in our in our literature, actually represent
what's happening in biology or not.
I don't know what's going to happen with this. But of course,
it's not really a new story. But it's,
this is a big deal. This is going on throughout the
scientific community, because no one was to bring up the climate
change thing. And in this same breath, no, I didn't get any
clips of although I may get for the next show of you probably
have some Tucker Carlson taking what's his name down at night?
Yeah.
I watched it, of course, and everybody tweeted it and it
wasn't you know, I there was really nothing there. That was
new to me. And I don't think Tucker did such a great job. I
think Bill Nye got to him a little bit.
Maybe just because he did Bill Nye was definitely a snot.
Yeah, when he's like, Mr. Carlson, Mr. Carlson? Yeah. I
also don't think Carlson took the right approach.
I probably didn't. It's okay. He didn't kick his butt. That's for
sure.
But I do know, according to our new study here, we love talking
about moral self licensing. This is something we've discussed.
And it's some it's real. It's been a lot of studies done about
moral self licensing. And the most modern version of that is
changing your avatar on Facebook or on Twitter. And new study
shows that moral outrage, which we see a lot of today in certain
universes is actually completely self serving.
Oh, Rosie O'Donnell. Yes.
When people publicly raged about perceived in justices that don't
affect them personally, we tend to assume this expression is
rooted in altruism, a disinterested and selfless
concern for the well being of others. But new research
suggests that prefer professing such third party concern, so
especially for Black Lives Matter, etc. What social
scientists refer to as moral outrage is often a function of
self interest wielded to massage feelings of personal culpability
for societal harms, or reinforce one's own status as a very good
person. Well, yes, it's the and I think it's completely true.
Well, it's a reasonable thing to say. Yeah, I think it probably
is true, true to it just sounds right. Yeah. And we've been
seeing nothing but these cells, you know, the cell, everyone's
self righteous. Yeah. Which I think is part of this
explanation. I mean, just a lot of them and you're all over
Twitter. I have taken to the point now where I'm doing pre
emptive blocking.
And I'm how does how does pre emptive blocking work?
Is I get somebody retweets some from someone I don't follow and
I don't they don't follow me it just but they're obnoxious. And
I know if I get if it gets retweeted, again, something else
from the same people and I go look at their feed. Oh, my God,
this person's insane. And I'll just block them out of the blue.
Yeah, I
do. What I've been doing is someone will just start with no
crap. I don't want to hear puking in my feed. I'll block
them and I'll say you're blocked. I'll wait 10 minutes,
then I'll block them. And then I'll go and look at what they're
tweeting how mad they are and then unblock them.
Well, that's, that's some psycho about what you're up to.
Totally psycho.
I've got a couple of clips. I wanted to get out of the way
over time. This one here. This is the south app dice. I just
thought this is not this is more than under reported. But this is
is like a bad thing. And it's not. It's in South Africa,
they're appropriating it, which is what they used to do in a
number of other countries. Mugabe's country do want to
where they just take the war if you're white, we're gonna take
your pride. Yeah, we'll take it back from the farmers. Yeah, the
South
African now the country will amend its laws to take over land
without compensating landowners as it seeks to speed the process
of distributing land to the black majority. Now
expropriation without compensation would make a
radical policy departure for Zoomers ruling African National
Congress. It certainly signals a shift from a willing buyer
willing seller approach to more radical alternatives. Most of
South Africans land remains in white hands over two decades
after the end of apartheid. And President Zuma referred a bill
allowing state expropriation of land back to Parliament because
lawmakers have failed to facilitate adequate public
participation
there you go. There's another subject I don't see why people
don't see this as racist but they
they don't know of course not as they were
just trying to nail down we
have to redefine the word racism it's and language changes all
the time racism can only be committed by white people.
Yeah, privilege, it appears it appears pretty clearly that that
privilege and they're having their land taken away. Here's a
clip that I had been sitting on in this about Human Rights
Watch, and I only kept it going live because I know this is one
of the organizations that you detest,
as a human rights now or Human Rights Watch, watch, watch.
Okay. Play it.
Israel has refused a work permit for the new regional director of
Human Rights Watch. Now that I published by the organization,
Israel's Foreign Ministry claimed the NGO was not a real
human rights group and was biased towards Palestinians.
The organization's public activities and reports have
engaged in politics in the service of Palestinian
propaganda, while falsely raising the banner of human
rights.
Over the years, the organization has frequently accused Israel of
rights violations, highlighting issues including illegal
settlement expansion and exploitation of Palestinian
children. It's also blasted Tel Aviv for using banned weapons
as a propaganda outfit. That's all that that is. USA ID funded.
Just like the White Helmets and the White Helmets didn't get a
couple of those guys didn't get a visa to come to the Oscars.
Yeah, no, that was pretty funny. That's right. bitch about it
more.
So on the show, you mean
don't want it? No. I mean, yes, the show didn't have the except
for the other thing. Discussing the Oscars again. Jimmy Kimmel
was really the only one doing Trump material.
And I thought he was pretty funny.
I get because it was light. It was light Trump materials, that
kind of stuff he do on his show wasn't really annoyingly
offensive. But I got the biggest kick out of Casey Affleck, who I
we played on last in the last show when he wanted the award. I
think it was the screenwriters guild or the Spirit Awards, The
Spirit Awards, right. He won that and he gave us this. He
blasted Trump. You could see him up there because he won the
Oscar. Thinking about it. You just see as exhibitors go on,
and then he thought better and left the stage with a thank you
how smart man, that was smart. I have one another kind of a
hanging clip, pinging clip. This is part of a slam piece that was
done on Bandy, but I do what but Ben says something bad that I
Bannon Banyon eight, this is a negative night
we need a nickname for the guy. Sweaty sway Steve what oh no
sweaty Shawn and what is Shawn or why don't we so we can call
them queen bee or king bee? Well, whatever
the case, he says something in this clip, but that ends with it
that we need to discuss because I don't think anybody except a
few of us understand what that actually means.
I found it here we go. Pele,
this is our Western Addition. Have a look at the Great
American divide. Our CBS News poll out today found only 39% of
Americans approve of the job that President Trump is doing.
But look at this. It's 82% of Republicans who say he's doing a
good job and the Democrats 6%. Today we heard from the driving
philosophical force behind the President Steve Bannon. And
here's our White House correspondent Margaret Brennan.
If you want to see the Trump agenda, it's very simple. It was
all in the speeches. In a rare appearance.
President Trump's chief strategist Steven Bannon cast
himself as a revolutionary there's a
new political order that's that's being formed out of this
and it's still being formed. But if you look at the wide degree
of opinion In this room, whether you're a populace, whether
you're limited government conservative, whether you're
libertarian, whether you're an economic nationalist, we have
wide and sometimes divergent opinions, we are a nation with a
culture and a and a reason for being. And I think that's what
unites,
you said the goal of the Trump presidency is threefold. The
first
is kind of national security and sovereignty. His second line of
work is what I refer to as economic nationalism. The third
broadly, line of work is what is deconstruction of the
administrative state?
So deconstruction of the administrative state, which
seems like some sort of an intellectual term, I don't think
is even remotely understood,
like the efficient government story. It what it
refers to is, is a problem that's been taking place in what
we would term the technological society as described by Jacques
Ellul. Well, in the technological society, a book
which
everyone should read, oh, I'm writing that one down, hold
on a second. Who's an outstanding he take a Jacques
Ellul, E L L u L. He, he did a lot. He's a theologian and a
sociologist. He did some great material, the books you want to
read are one called propaganda. And the other one is a
technological society. And in this technological society
describes a world that is going to be for all practical
purposes, run and manage by the tech no cracks crotch. Yeah. As
a, as witnessed by the EU. The EU has these lawmakers that are
technocrats. And they're in Brussels, and they make rules
for Great Britain and everybody in between. Just sitting around
the room is a bunch of technocrats there's no buddy
voting, they just drink. You know, they're just cranking out
laws. And that's the administrative state that
Banyans talking about. And we
banning Bannon, Bannon, Banjo, we'll just call him banjo from
now,
that banjo is talking about and what. And in specific, we're
talking about people, the groups like the EPA, the EPA makes
laws. Technically speaking, only Congress can make laws, but they
can they can kind of weasel out of it by giving kind of powers
the administrative state to some of these agencies. And the
agencies then are given free rein to make laws just by having
a meeting that's make a law and a ruling and our law in a law in
a law and this would, you know, air pollution district I worked
for was the same thing. These days. It was always I always, by
the way, when I was working at the air pollution district, I've
always considered the process of kangaroo court. And I think that
a lot of these things are kangaroo courts. And there's no
you know, you can't it doesn't go through the normal system of
justice.
Well, this is the same with the with the FDA, and there's tons
of other things, and we'll see what it gets replaced by, or
what happens or whatever.
I don't think it has a prayer to replace it, I think is wishful
thinking. But I liked the fact that he's at least talking about
I mean, not not replacing the EPA, but just getting rid of
regulations. Just remind
you. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about
replacing the EPA, I'm talking about this regulatory
administrative state that we're in that are creating laws left
and right, that are not done by the legislature or who are the
is the group disposed to do laws? And it's just done by
bureaucrats that are sitting around and saying, you know, we
need a law against that in this write it up? Which is, I don't
know, seems like a problem to me. But that
can that can all be undone that you don't need any congressional
votes or anything for that you can just undo it.
Well, I'd like to see it. Again. I think that's wishful thinking.
I don't think anything is gonna get done. These things tend to
be they take on a life of their own. Yeah,
but undoing it. It's I don't know. Technically, I don't
believe there's any necessity for any congressional
involvement. It's it's the agency themselves.
Well, the agency though, was given the permission by the by
the by Congress to do this. When you can't just be some little
Podunk agency and start
out by law. So look at who's who's running EPA, look at who's
running education. These people are clearly meant to go change
something drastic.
Yes. They're meant to. They're meant they're meant to be
disruptors. I wish I could get a kick out of people moaning about
it. Oh, look at that. Betsy DeVos is an idiot. Yeah. Well,
she doesn't she's not in there to make things better.
And the pushback on specifically that from charter schools and
school vouchers, why are people so against that?
Well, the voucher thing, you know, the voucher thing first
cropped up. I remember when I was a student at Cal Berkeley,
and it was that the time was a Democrat, of course. And I
remember the voucher thing came up Nixon, I believe was one of
the early proponents of it. It may be a Nixon was very
progressive in a lot of ways. I mean, he was, you know, he's the
one who created the EPA. And because it came from Nixon, they
rejected it immediately out of hand. I believe this was just
one of these things like they were the reason that Nancy
Pelosi won't stand up for jobs in the speech. This this
division between the Republicans and Democrats if it's a
Republican who does something that is always going to be bad
and perceived as such forever. And I think that's where I think
that's where it got, I think their vouchers got off to the
wrong foot. Again, it was propaganda against the idea I
liked the idea of vouchers. I like
it too. And I liked the idea we already have the right to have
your own you know, to organize your own school.
You can do your own school you can do homeschooling now you can
take the voucher and run I mean it seems to me that you're
paying into the system that's not working if it was working
great and we had all these smart kids coming out of out of the
school but no we get a bunch of brainwashed kids that are you
know don't know anything it's it's terrible and then to get
when they go into a college they you know they have to get all
kinds of like the first year is all retraining so they can you
know, participate. Yeah, you know, anyway we can bitch about
this forever. Well, when is one banjo banjo is trying to get
this to he's mentioned it but nobody seems to even be
thoughtful about what he said. Because
he's a racist. White national racist que que que I'm so tired
of this bullcrap. Give me something to play. That makes me
happy so we can get out of here.
Okay, let's do what we have. I can you can play a little. Yeah,
I like it. You're laughing whatever it is. I'll take it.
Well, you won't like it. So I'm not gonna even mention it. A
Jeff Sessions is attack. We'll bring that up in a later show.
China's smoking ban is kind of interesting. Private prisons are
back. I don't really have anything. Oh, how about corn
worm in the Congo.
That must be good. Yes.
And an outbreak of the crop destroying army worm has spread
to the Democratic Republic of Congo, laying waste to 63,000
hectares of corn and causing prices to almost triple. Now the
outbreak has destroyed about 80% of the corn in four regions
along the country south eastern border with Zambia that's
resulted in the price of a 25 kilogram bag of corn rising to
$30 from about $10. The situation in Congo is
particularly concerning because the countries are the two main
staples, which is bananas and cassava are also currently
affected by other diseases. Someone's getting cornhole
today. Sounds like
a recipe for success to me.
Perfect. Corn worm Be on the lookout for it. It's like ants
only worse. Definitely worse than ants. All right, everybody.
That concludes our broadcast for this day. Episode nine or 08909
Coming up on Sunday big one for us. Remember us a
divorce.org/na. And well we'll see whatever happens in the next
few days. Always alert working for you. You do the same as you
are the producers.
Definitely something happened.
Always. Coming to you from the crackpot condo here in the
skyscraper downtown Austin, Texas. We are the capital of the

Lord, we send you the same way all man A bomb the same God?
You news out of this country, that Arabia that nobody's ever
seen before. The bad was a military operation really out of
this country whose average country had a waiver that
nobody's ever seen before the military are the bad ones. It's
a military operation and they're the bad ones bad military
operation. We're getting really bad dudes out of this country.
Man the military operations in the country they take the word
