assassination episode nine or two six. This
is no agenda. Managing Mental
Hygiene for the masses and broadcasting live in the darkest
corners of the internet in the capital the drone star stay in
the clue do in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we have no clue do I'm
John C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
I was thinking what I would name it but I have a clue do that's
what I have no clue do.
Oh, I thought you meant you didn't have a clue. No, I got I
got some jargon some sort of hipster jargon for clue.
No, no.
I got no clue. Do no
clue do is a studio in a closet. You see. I see. That's where I
am. The new studio is in the closet.
How big is this closet?
Oh, it's pretty sizable. I would hope it's 1234. Probably five
feet by nine feet.
That's bigger than most New York apartments.
Hey, we're in John. We did it. We made it.
I heard that. Okay, so how is it? Ah, it's
fantastic. Fanta, you know, since Tina and I moved in
together we able to consolidate. So we now have an apartment that
doesn't have chilled water for air conditioning but has an
actual air conditioning unit.
That's gonna cost you. Yeah, yeah. Chilled water. So
the chilled water was very expensive.
It was oh, yeah, either. It's just a fan. No.
In. In Austin. The way it works is there's a building a
government building with a parking garage.
Near attach. You're talking about a swamp cooler? No, no.
Oh, so this summer labrets.
Yeah, they have this huge facility, which makes it a real
Racket has all these fans on top and so it's cooling water and
then there's pipelines underneath the downtown area and
it sends off mainly to the government building but then
also to my old apartment building. It sends off you know,
just this chilled water and then that's circulated. I mean,
that's it's like a recipe for Legionnaires disease. I've never
liked it. It's get really dry. And it doesn't work and didn't
work well. And now it's like oh my gosh, I can actually keep 72
degrees.
Okay, and this is hot out. Yeah. Yeah.
When it doesn't work well. Yeah, so it's nice. Yeah, very happy
and
I think actually didn't get Legionnaires disease that's a
plus. This studios
this kludi Oh, sounds pretty good. I think it sounds better
than the other one. Because I have moving blankets hung up all
over the wall. Who blankets Yes, yeah, moving papers
to Zephyr and it's got a private car on the end. Ooh, a nice one
to a Burlington Northern observation cars in Chrome
went Oh, so who do you think that belongs to?
I don't know that every one of the private cars that goes by
looks different enough that it could be a renter it was kind of
dirty
still uses this who still traveled the country like sports
guys like like Bill Gates uses its private railcar
Buffett. Really,
every year gates and Buffett at least as far as I know that no
they still doing it but they used to every year go on a
journey in the private car a couple of private cars and they
brought invite a few friends. I never got invited Of course. The
key word being friends. Yeah. Yeah. And so they'd go floating
around and according to somebody I know. Personally, it was on
one of these trips. It was a it was a private drive through the
closed off tracks down in the Grand Canyon, which normally you
can't go on. But of course they could. And so they went on this
thing and according to my my Mole on the expedition, all
gates and Buffett did the entire time was was play.
Right? I was gonna guess I was gonna say either part cheesy.
No, they did a bridge. Bridge. Big time bridge play.
Don't you need that you need for people to play, bro. Yeah, I
guess
the two other guys would join in. But it was like their guy
says to me, there's these unbelievable views you cannot
legally see. Because you're down on this stretch inside the
canyon. And it's just unbelievable. It's just like,
wow, and they're playing bridge.
Well, they're, they're jaded.
Here. I'll bet you $1 I can ruin this guy's life. Kind of guys.
Oh, yeah. The usual mama.
Exactly.
Ah, anyway, so this was a tiring move. I've moved a lot in my
life this one for some reason it was really tiring. And but
luckily I got the TV hooked up pretty
I thought you hired a bunch of movers.
Yeah, two men and the truck is what it's called.
Okay, you had to minute attraction is wore you out
saying, Oh, look to the left. Look, get that boss could be
more for that boss could be more full
version. You know, it's not like that, you know, sound like that.
But anyway, doesn't matter. I did have a chance to watch a lot
or listen to a lot of C span while moving. So that was good
because it was a ton of stuff. Because it's some good stuff
happening. We had Comey, which was surprising that the that's
like, whoop, all of a sudden there's Comey. And of course,
before Comey Do I hear so what do I hear? Nothing here. Oh no.
I hear to get there's a there's construction. I could just
faintly make it out. Hillary Clinton did
open the door and tell him to shut up. Yes, you're doing a
podcast. Yeah. Hey,
podcast has precedence. And then of course we had timed perfectly
the day before Hillary's big war on men interview with Chris Jana
poor. You see the clips
from that? Yes, I
did. I designed it.
I didn't even hear it. I didn't even watch it. I refused to take
part in this charade. Well, the
reason why I was all over this is you know, Hillary's hitlist.
I'm, I'm still thinking that she's going after everybody. And
I think hey, let me bring it out for you here. Let me whip it out
for you, John. Here we go. Hillary's hitless Okay, so the
setting is actually we got an email from one of our producers
maybe I should read that first. Who works there in the in the
venue where this took place. An anonymous Of course, the big
Women for Women and international event featuring
Hillary and Christiana for happening at the event space in
New York City, their workout, give you some backstage info.
First of all, CNN are a bunch of douche bags. This is
interesting, not that they're douchebags but during the month
long process of getting this event set up, they kept on
wanting to bring in more and more equipment to the event and
wanted a six cameras shoot. Can you believe this? Six cameras.
That's truly is the Clinton news network. This was a
six cameras shooting Listen, not using anyone to run the cameras,
which is, you know, you'd set up stationary cameras and then you
do if you got guy behind the camera, you only need three,
maybe two.
They even wanted to remove tables to make room for their
cameras. I was about $2,500 ahead for the event. Oh, it was
a paid event. Nice. They were shifting I mentioned at the
event. I don't remember how, you know, the but that's so there
was ranking CNN for all the information right rich women
were sitting there Gotcha. Well, it was to be fair, there was
lunch or there was some food. Oh, they were also CNN was also
very shitty at gaffing. Their cables went on there you go to
news business. They don't care. Now, according to our producer
here.
Why should we gassed them when when we can pay we have to pick
them up later.
Christiane Amanpour and her handler. Were super cool. She
has a handler, yes. And well, that's what you call it in show
business these days. Someone who is getting you
to the assistant to Christianna him and push us he gets a credit
roll.
Right? She was she and her handler were super, super cool.
Even early for her call times. Wow. That's unheard of. However,
the event was about 25 minutes behind schedule and starting
because Hillary didn't leave her hotel on time. Well, there's the
difference for you.
As somebody she was always late during the campaign to shoes,
she's a little tight. Always always late. Yeah. Just
inconvenience everybody else. That's fine.
So they were scheduled to talk for about 30 minutes. It was
supposed to be a hard out but they ran over after the talk
finished. They were supposed to have a moment and exit the
stage. But the final speaker was so excited to get to the podium
on stage right? She ignored her cue and cut them off. I don't
know what he's saying here. This, this caused both them to
sit down in their chairs with a final speaker was doing a big
sales pitch. Oh, so it was kind of embarrassing. They were
sitting there we're sitting there unemployed and in Clinton
while the sales pitch was going off. I should have egg that's
that's a mistake in in staging. So this was a sales pitch. Well,
who was that? I don't know. Also, I did accidentally call
Heerlijk clippity clop over the intercom and everybody was
wondering what I was talking about.
Imagine that. All right. We need a little more light on.
What?
Fantastic, thank you very much to our producer and
assume that any of the women at that event $2,500 A plate lunch
in hamburger meat low for sure. again does a listener show
what was interesting? Right off the bat as I was watching this
is on screen was a hashtag a hashtag I give you have you put
a hashtag on screen so people can you know tweet or to talk
about the event and it's all trackable the hashtag she brings
peace I thought that was lame. Well, not just lame but
astoundingly opposite of what she's doing. Hillary Clinton is
sitting there really causing trouble you'll hear it causing
problems you know, I didn't give a damn about you know, the
fallout and how people are arguing and the split and the
demand
there why I'm surprised that they don't weren't honest about
it put hashtag hashtag resist
right well here is so this was a lot of this was of course about
why she lost and we know that's nothing to do with her just
sucking.
It was everything to do with everything else. Yes. Let her
such as
misogyny.
Well, you are a victim of misogyny. Why do you think you
lost a victim
victim of misogyny? It starts off beautiful, doesn't it?
Victim of misogyny?
Are you a victim of misogyny? Why do you think you lost the
majority of the white female vote? The security moms, the
people who want to be protected from the kinds of challenges
that a
category I missed? Security moms?
I never heard that. But it's a new one. But to start off, are
you a victim of misogyny and then blame women? Why it's kind
of misogynist in itself, isn't it? I think in a big way
white women it's most it's massager, racist, misogynist,
and misogynist.
Well, you are a victim of misogyny Why do you think you
lost the majority of the white female vote for security moms,
the people who want to be protected from the kinds of
challenges for women
to voting for Trump's the security moms, the losers? Moms,
Kevin insulted probably half of them in the auto actually the
ones in the audience probably aren't? No, no, no, they have to
be Hillary nut to pay 2500 bucks to hear now.
I was gonna say if you're going to pay $2,500, then you know,
you're clearly not just any old security model, you lost
the majority of the white female vote for security moms, the
people who want to be protected from the kinds of challenges
you're talking about right now. Right? Well,
you know, that the books coming out in the fall?
Oh, yes. This was also a little promo for her book. Just to give
you a tiny little, what is her book?
Yeah, well, when she says she said was a title. It was the
title. But she hasn't given the title yet. But she's it's all
coming out. She says about the Bush came in the fall or the
book is
the book is coming out in the fall.
Bush. It's the book.
Just to give you a tiny little preview. Yes, I do think it
played a role. I think other things did as well, every day
that goes by we learn more about some of the unprecedented
interference, including from a foreign power, whose leader is
not a member of my fan club. So it is it is real, it is very
much a part of the landscape politically and socially and
economically. You know, an example that has nothing to do
with me personally, is this whole question of equal pay, you
know, we just had Equal Pay Day in April, which is how long
women have to work past the first of the year to make the
equivalent of what men make you see
what she does there. Now, the question was, were you victim of
misogyny? Or was it something else going on? And then she
promotes her book says, Yeah, men suck. And then she goes
straight into how they suck even more, because women don't get
paid enough.
The prior Yeah. Cordial April,
comparable.
Isn't that isn't that interesting, that analogy that
we celebrate, you know, Equal Pay Day in April, because that's
how many months women have to work, or the free months.
Basically, they're working
to make the equivalent of what men make the prior year in
comparable professions. And we know it's a problem in our
country. It's not something that exists somewhere far away. It
exists right here. And it's really troubling to me that we
are still grappling with how to deal in a an economy, to ensure
that people who do the work that is expected of them get paid
fairly. And equally,
equally. Yeah, well, we're not even going to debunk that again,
don't even bother. It's like it's not possible. It's fact
is fact. So this was the this was the and I like listening to
a little more in context of what people say Just cruising through
the corporate media, the news channels they have, they just
show quick little snippets. You don't really get any context. I
think it's very important. So this is a little bit longer, but
this is how Hillary Clinton claimed she was on her way to
victory Intel. Well, you know, James Comey screwed it all up
for
he needed Comey
was Comey, why don't I have those? I don't think so. I
thought we had a really loud Comey. We need one for
sure. He had one message your opponent and it was a successful
message Make America Great Again. And where was your
message? Do you take any personal responsibility?
Oh, of course, I take absolute candidate I was the person who
was on the ballot and
chase personal responsibility for the spelling of her name.
I am very aware of, you know, the challenges the problems the
she's aware,
very dark fall, she's
woke that we had.
She woke
shortfalls that we had again, I will write all this out for you.
But I will say this
now what you can't see it's it's not even that subtle. If you
view it's because of course they had six cameras. So there's a
lot of close ups. Did they actually get the six cameras in
i Well, they got enough for some for two separate ISO close up.
So you know them they must have at least five. But she and she
has this this new mannerism, which is let me see if I can
explain. It's kind of like where she tilts her head and moves in.
And you know, and puts her chin up a little bit. And you know,
like, we all know, this is fucking lame. I mean that and
she does it over and over and over again.
Oh, I'd like to see that. Oh, yeah. Well, she mentioned she
plugged yourself again, right there. She says I'm gonna write
this in my book. That book is a must read. Well, this
book is not just the book. This is as far as I'm concerned. This
is her run for for 2020. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's or or to be
ready to jump
loaded. Hello for
you. But I will say this. Okay. I've been in a lot of campaigns.
And I'm very proud of the campaign we ran. And I'm very
proud of the staff and the volunteers and the people. Array
crowd.
The people who are there who have volunteered? Yes, yes,
we run a perfect campaign. There is no such thing you would know
was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey his
letter on October 28. and Russian wiki leaks.
I love that Russian wiki leaks. Yeah, wiki there we just slip in
as Russian. Who else did that someone else did that. It may be
Maxine Waters actually. Think about it.
And Russian Wiki Leaks raise doubts in the minds of people
who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off. And the
evidence for that intervening event is I think compelling,
persuasive. And so were you
what kind of you won't do a red carpet event with me but you're
pretty good at just mumbling through Hillary Clinton.
US for you. I planted her all she does is make say little
annoyances
and but there's some good stuff. I want to make sure you can.
They can hear it. I'm sorry. I wanna make sure you
hear it. That's all I'm hearing it blame a lot in the campaign.
We overcame an enormous barrage of negativity,
a barrage of negativity Oh, I mean, right that one false
equivalency and false equivalency. Well, these you
know, false equivalency,
what? Specifically Hillary, what are you talking about? Like
barrage of negativity. I want to know what false equivalence
she's talking about, by how much else? It was that Donald Trump
is a misogynist. Douchebag all the time. Yeah. What's the false
equivalency she's? She says, Well, I'm not a misogynist.
Douchebag I'm just a douchebag. Is that what she's talking
about? I don't know,
false equivalency and so much else. But as Nate Silver who
doesn't work for me, he's an independent analyst.
Let's just review. Nate Silver is the guy who consistently got
everything wrong about Donald Trump. The reason why he rose to
fame with 538 Media, I think 530 I think, is because he nailed
the previous election with the Obama Romney. And he got
everything wrong. He put Clinton at one to 2% and now she's going
to use him as a reference. This is perfect.
He doesn't work for me. He's an independent analyst, but one
considered to be very reliable and wrong, you know, has
concluded, you know, the election men on October 27 And
I'd be your president.
If it were on October 27, I'd be your president. Oh, there you
go. But no, that's a classic.
Yeah, we're 27. That would be your president. And it wasn't it
was on October 28. And there was just a lot of funny business
going on around that. And ask her,
it's very good, the way she throws these lines. And, you
know, among other things, a lot of fun. When
was the election on October 28? Yeah, that's
what I thought, too, is, is that she talking about elections in
November, I'm going to tell you, Okay, what she said what she
meant was if, if the vote was on October 27, I would have won
because on October 28, is when Comey came out with the with his
statement, okay.
Within an hour or two of the Hollywood access tape being made
public. The Russian theft of John Podesta's emails hit
WikiLeaks. What a coincidence.
Yeah, it's called the hitting back. I think. Now that of
course, that was no coincidence. It was it was ready to drop by
the Russian WikiLeaks, of course.
So I mean, you just can't make this stuff up. Oh, yeah, you
can't. So she did we met she's very good at making mistakes. Of
course we did. Of course, I made a mistake. My gosh, yes. You
know, you'll read my confession and my, my request for
absolution.
Request for absolution. What did she do? No. And who was she
requesting it from?
But the reason why I believe we last were the intervening events
in the last 10 days. And I think you can see, I was leading in
the early vote, I had a very strong,
and she was leading in the polls, not in the vote in the
polls, just our
polling and data analysis, but a very strong catch. Assessment
going on across the country, about where I was, in terms of,
you know, the necessary both votes and electoral votes. And
remember, I did win more than 3 million votes.
That's it. Now wait, he's going to come back and again, with
that head movement. Just want to tell you what she's going to do
before you hear it again. So she says again, I did win by 3
million votes. And then she comes back to it later. But then
she does that head to the side, chin up, and then puts her her
open palm next to her face, like she's whispering, you know,
like, just keep it a secret. I want that I want the puppet
vote. You know what I'm saying here?
I can see it, I visualize it here comes,
you know, the necessary both votes and electoral votes. And
remember, I did win more than 3 million votes than my opponent.
So it's like
I see the tweets coming.
Well, fine, you know, better that's an interfering in foreign
affairs. If he wants to tweet about me, I'm happy to be the
you know, the diversion, because we've got lots of other things
to worry about. And he should worry less about the election.
And my winning the popular vote than doing some other things
there. As you did that night feeling the popular vote hates
our little secret we have here.
Yeah, all from California, which was, which wouldn't even let
Trump speak and they went 75% For Hillary
that comes up in another clip in a moment. But first, we go to
the final clip from this, from this ordeal, and this is just a
little rah rah, which I think is the setup for 2020 or whatever
she's gonna run for.
But I want to ask you as a woman, and we're dealing
obviously with issues that affect women all over the world.
What do you imagine your election as the first female
president of the United States might have said to the world and
to the women of the world, who are looking for validation for
somebody to shatter that highest and hardest ceiling?
The highest and hardest of all ceilings? That's the one John is
the highest and hardest of all, Oh, I
think it would have been a really big deal. I am writing a
book and it's a pain process. Living the campaign, as you
might guess, but I think that, partly here at home, there were
important messages that that could have sent to our own
daughters, granddaughters, grandsons and sons. But I think
especially internationally, you know, I've had the great
privilege of traveling around the world. Visiting in many
different settings far from the formal palaces or offices where
leaders are but
whenever I go to Paris FPR do my hair. It's just normal. I'm a
normal person in
the villages down dusty road on dusty roads in the villages
meeting with people, many of whom are dodging snipers,
dodging snipers.
So the kind of women that Women for Women International are
helping, and there is still so much inequity, so much
unfairness, so much discrimination toward women and
girls. So have we made progress? Yes, we have. But have we made
enough? No, we haven't. And it's not a minor issue. It's not a
luxury issue you get to after everything else is resolved. It
is central to the maintenance, stability, sustainability of
democracy of human rights. It is critical to our national
security, you look at places where women's rights are being
stripped away.
Yeah, like Saudi Arabia, like Somalia, you know, like, these
places, Nigeria, this is where women's rights are stripped away
at a very early age, they
are the places most likely to either catalyze, or protect
terrorism, or create a second
she should have said these are the places that most likely to
give to the Clinton Foundation in money exactly
are the places most likely, oh, you're on a roll
today. I like this, like this running commentary DeVore I got
I'm here
to either catalyze or protect
what's what's catalyze. catalyze immediately, it's like a
catalytic activity. You catalyze you. by your presence alone.
Things change,
like capitalization capitalization, yes.
Capitalization capitalized. Sounds like you've turned people
into cows.
Well, this you may be thinking cattle, turn these sheep and the
cows
flee to either catalyze or protect terrorism, or create
ideology, say,
terrorism.
I don't know what she's listening or
protect terrorism.
Protect heroism.
No. She said, protect terror.
No, she's not saying terrorism. Now she's not listening
eyes or protect terrorism?
Why did the hell does she listen to the whole thing in context?
What is she saying here?
Are the places most likely to catalyze or protect terrorism?
I guess she is saying protecting terrorism.
That's what she said, protect terrorism.
That's odd.
I think this is just slipped out.
Protect the terrorism. She said, wow. That's very strange. And
why why would they protect terrorism? I've never heard of
anyone protecting terrorism. Well listen to one more time
are the places most likely to either catalyze or protect
terrorism, or create ideologies that are anti antithetical to
women's lives? Okay, that's
what she say. No, it just makes sense. What she said because
what she, what she's saying now is that the places that she's
concerned about which is Saudi Arabia that would classic that
gives her the money. They're the kind of places that catalyze or
protect In other words, catalyze they make terrorism happened
because of their their crappy governments
in Saudi Arabia. Terrorism is job number one.
So she says that they catalyze terrorism, they protect
terrorism, she could say the use of words over and over like that
to make it a little more profound, but and then she has
the last one, which is also adding to that
hives and futures. It's not an accident. And so part of what I
really believe is that women's rights is the unfinished
business of the 21st century, there is no more important
larger issue that has to be
no more important issue then when
well, since now, we'll just break things up a little bit.
Okay. I want to go on with this. Clips, because they just had
this RT is, of course, the only people on this Saudi story. RT
one,
only seven out of 54 countries abstain from voting to a point
Saudi Arabia to a UN council for women's rights in the absence of
the ability to vote no. And that's according to the Swedish
Foreign Ministry. However, most European countries which voted,
still refusing to reveal which way their balance were cast, and
what Afghans do have investigates.
It's remarkable some of the full most democracies in the Western
world, champions of human rights voted for Saudi Arabia, where
women arguably face more discrimination than in any other
country to join the United Nations Women's Rights
Commission, and almost nobody wants to admit they did it.
According to the Geneva based human rights group you and watch
at least 50 Each of the 22 countries you see here voted for
Saudi Arabia. Now. It's all secret they all sites
confidentiality and bureaucratic rituals as the reasons why they
won't admit to voting for Saudi Arabia. But the hunt is on
WikiLeaks is offering 10,000 euros. Her information about who
Sweden voted for the Norwegian opposition is demanding answers
calling on the government to reveal who we voted for in the
UK. The government is under pressure and has refused to deny
voting for Saudi Arabia. And the one European country that was
exposed this voting period is already regretting its choice.
So is it if we'd had the chance to discuss this at the
government level? Of course, I would have argued that we don't
approve it. I regret the vote.
According to leaked emails, the Belgian government knew exactly
what it was doing. In fact, officials were allegedly ordered
to inform Saudi Arabia about Belgium's vote in an apparent
attempt to curry favor.
Oh, that's fantastic. So the Belgians actually had to say,
yes, we voted for you. And then that memo got leaked. Oops. So
meanwhile, she's going on and on about this. And here's the
number one violator of women's rights in general. I mean, we've
told stories here about you know, Americans would marry a
Saudi and the nicest guy in the world is sexy get dude they
moved to Saudi Arabia and then the rest of her life, she's
beaten constantly, and she tries to get out of the country. I've
heard about this and other people can I will always want to
get some photos of this. But apparently they're lined outside
the American Embassy trying to get out of get back to the
United States. And the American Embassy won't do anything about
it now. Huge dude, you made your bed by Yeah, so what if you were
an American once it's just pathetic and then she is then
she's part of this system.
Oh, if she's evil, she is evil. Now we can we're gonna take a
little trip here into a fabulous example of dimension a dimension
be in the same place looking at the same information and arguing
and I'm sad to say this happened on the view but that's just what
it is. You got to take it but it is it is important because these
are women's issues. Women are getting screwed over weighing we
all want your Hillary lost because of men so now we so
there's the two of me I think it's it's sunny hast Houston
sunny hosted who's the Republican?
And you're asking me Yeah, I
know crazy. It doesn't matter. It'll be very apparent who's
who. I found this. This entire conversation just fan tastic
from a split universe, alternate universe dimension a dimension B
perspective. For some
reasons as to why or
she overlooking stuff or this was the most unimpressed I've
been with Hillary Clinton. Every time I see her do an interview.
I'm waiting for a moment where she just doesn't blame anyone
but herself and acknowledges why they lost why
you can imagine this is getting the the other ladies on the view
kind of riled up.
The reason why she lost was that her foreign policy at the State
Department was a disaster. Her intervention in Libya led to
terrorist havens and the infiltration of ISIS.
I have my my my head was going what you say in this interview
what she
lost because she picked a bad vice presidential candidate. She
didn't do proper groundwork in states like Wisconsin, in states
like Michigan and states like Pennsylvania. She lied to people
she made the decision you bring up the line, please don't doubt
about people okay. Let's let's not put lies in because if we're
gonna compare
Whoopi Goldberg defending Hillary about lying, she lied.
She told her email server she completely lied. But you can't
say that according to will be.
The line I just can't handle. We'll go ahead and go ahead.
No, no, I was I was gonna let you finish if you had, but I
that's kind of misogynist there. Go ahead. Babe. Did you hear me?
Go ahead, babe.
She said go ahead bail had
a line I just can't handle. Go ahead and go ahead.
No, no, I was I was. But I tend to agree. I was a little shocked
when I saw her say that at first. Because I think there was
a moment after the election when so many of us stopped after
looking at those polls in the build up and we were like, what
did we miss? In some ways? I think she might still be missing
some of it. I think if she had said these both were a part of
the problem, but that they miss it. She knew what she did by
actually egg. She said do you take any responsibility for
this? And I found that the fact that out of the gates her answer
was the Russian thing and call me because I think there were
there were messaging problems. She wasn't on the ground. A lot
of the people that spoke up one 3
million more votes than Donald out there. And the bottom. The
FBI was investigating Trump's Russia ties. And they since
July, and they only mentioned that this market, they mentioned
it in October voted
for her. I was I'm Hillary Clinton supporter. But what I'm
saying is that was disappointed by the interview. Because to me
at this moment, what she needed to say was, we missed the mark.
And a lot of ways there were things we didn't hear. And it
shows me in this interview, she might still not be she might
still be missing. I don't know
that she missed the mark. I don't know
she misspoke. She also lost the election because the election
isn't run by the popular vote. It's run by the Electoral
College, and she's a seasoned politician. And she should know
that those states that she skipped out on those states that
she should go to really
enjoy. She knows that come on. Well, she knew she maybe she
would have gone
should know that those states that she skipped out on those
states that she really She sounds like she did it because
that's what cost her the election. People in the center
of
the election heard was FBI Director Comey will cost her the
election and in my humble opinion, is Russia's hacking and
what cost her the election is if you look at the stats, people
this was I agree with White Van Jones in a sense, this was a
white lash. There's been studies.
It's we're blaming it on men were blamed on white people
were voted the same way people who voted for Obama, she's going
to make that point here. Actually.
I agree with white, Van Jones. In a sense, this was a white
lash, there's there have been studies 20% of people voted
because of racism.
This is great. I need to see this study. So people said
racism, I can't vote for her because she's white, unlike the
other guy. Who's she's also out yeah, this
is my bench and be like,
racism, and he's
20% of people voted because of racism. And I think after. That
wasn't no way that this woman was going to
win twice there, which we elected a black president twice
because he was a good candidate. She was not a good candidate.
And
here's the truth about her my opinion, she would have made a
great president. She was not a great candidate. But she would
have been a great president. He was an interesting candidate.
Let's face it, Putin wanted to make America great again, let's
sell
the most qualified candidate for president that we ever really
that old bromide. Yeah, she was more qualified than Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
There's one final clip I have here, which I've loved this a
lot. And again, a video that needs to be seen to see the hurt
in this woman's face hurt. And yeah, just heard that she is
partially being blamed for this loss. And she was blamed in an
op ed in the New York Times. And actually, she's become the Xerox
of the problem that the New York Times editorial pretty much said
the smug liberal media was a big part of the problem, and
specifically named it the Samantha Bee problem. Which must
hurt her to no end.
Yes, I would think so. Because she takes us very seriously. So
she had her comic. She takes it very seriously. And she was she
Yeah,
she's she's very she's very butthurt by this. Did you I
don't know flattering. I
didn't know that there was a Samantha Bee problem. But let me
read part of the to the Democratic Party's problem in
the age of
the laughing I know this because I've been in the same situation
where you're getting blamed for something and you know, it's
kind of your fault and you just laugh
it off. Is it really Jimmy Fallon, who you had criticized
and others are criticized for being too soft on Trump? It's
promised Samantha Bee not be alone of course, but the entire
phenomenon that she embodies the rapid colonization of new
cultural territory by an ascendant social liberalism
first,
what's your response? And second of all,
how does it feel to be you know, the the face of the problem?
Yeah, she really is sad about this. That's great. Liberal was
the first What's your response? And second of all, how does it
feel to be you know, the face of the problem?
Are you stuck for a second the if she, yeah, you're absolutely
dead on on this analysis and that laugh is the indicator.
Yep. She should actually be mad about it. If she was if she
would take it as that's bullcrap. I'm a comic and then
she should have gotten aggressive but no, she did that
laugh which indicates oh my god, I, I am the problem. She said
she's taking it very seriously. She She, she there's no way. I
mean, if that was John say was, let's move people around on this
chessboard, and make Jon Stewart the guy. Yeah. Jon Stewart, if
he was like, was the Jon Stewart problem and it was like the same
situation. Let's say he'd go right after the guy. Hey, go
after the New York Times say this is nonsense. He'd use his
comic foil. I'm just the comedian. You know, I can't even
make fun anyway. You just go just and they would end right
there she is. This is gonna affect her career. Yeah.
Yes. In fact, if you and I were watching this interview, and we
were running, what is it? TBS that she's on?
TV? Yeah, I
think it is TBS, something like that. One of them.
We would have fired her after this interview. And you'll hear
why,
you know, the face of the problem.
Oh, my God, my name was in an article. It's me. It's not
racism. It's just me. No, you know what? Oh, wait, wait for
all that evidence to roll in. And then I'll then I'll make up
my mind after that.
Because, you know, it's clearly unproven. This is just the New
York Times. Wait a minute, that's my Bible. Brain freeze,
just because there was no backup. It was just,
you know, it's one person's opinion.
Yes, that's what op eds are one person's opinion. Only this one
isn't New York Times the
wonderful
one wonderful.
Let me ask you a question. Does he have a larger button? You've
read this on your show? So remove yourself from it? Does he
have a point about smug liberals? I'm not talking about
you. But is there a smug liberal?
No, that is something that I can't really I mean, I just
can't take responsibility for the way the election turnout. I
just absolutely. I can't, is there as much older? I guess I'm
I guess, you know, I don't I don't think there is like I do
the show for me. And for people like me. And I don't really care
how the rest of the world sees it, quite frankly,
Oh, okay. Well, we're gonna have to fire you because you care
about the advertisers and the ratings. If you say you're just
doing the show for you, why don't you go do a podcast?
It's like I do the show for me. And for people like me, and I
don't really care how the rest of the world sees it. Quite
frankly,
this is pretty much the definition of sanctimoniously
smug right there.
At least being said,
Were you smart? No,
that's fine, smug, is perfect, excellent job, I think was that
that's what she said, I don't care what you think. I don't
care what you think I'd for myself, I
do the show for myself. For people like me. It's a very
small group. You know,
I don't I don't think there is like I do the show for me and
for people like me, and I don't really care how the rest of the
world sees it, quite frankly. That's great. If we put that we
make a show for ourselves. We put it out in the world. We can
we birth it
did now I've heard this exact sentence so many times in my
career. This is what someone says when they're about to get
cancelled. We birth it. We put it out there for the universe to
see. Yeah, what you're saying is you think you haven't read an
outstanding product that no one wants to watch. We birth it.
Have you not heard this? This is something similar like, well,
we've heard for a while we're doing the best we can we're just
we're putting it out there into the universe. Let everyone see
how awesome we are.
That's great. We put that we make a show for ourselves. We
put it out in the world. We can we birth it. And then the world
receives it however they want to receive it. Welcome back to
Friday.
He goes into vocal fry.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, she reminded me of in this one time at bandcamp. I stuck a
flute my posse provides me a little bit of her.
The band girl a little bit.
Now something else happened in the mainstream, which Gina the
keeper alerted me to she's She is my canary in the coal mine
when it comes to what's what the memes are on social media.
Yeah, she actually gets out of the house every day. As a job
she Yes. Of course she must be hard for her at her job.
Well, I must be hard for her when she comes home and the
dinners not done and ready.
The dinner is always done and ready. I love making dinner. I
my wife my wifely duties are on onpoint now when she's at work
and people say how's your boyfriend? What does he do
again? He's a podcaster
podcaster
to Stephen Stephen Colbert made a joke. Now this is total
dimension a b this is total political correctness fantastic
controversy. In this report, the word COC is beeped out, but at
least you know what that is. It was
the late night joke that left audiences shocked.
You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head.
In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being
Vladimir Putin pollster.
Steve I had not heard this phrase Is caulk holster. Now?
I've
never heard it either. Yeah, so
the only thing your mouth is good for is as Vladimir Putin's
caulk holster.
Yeah, it's pretty crude was very crude. But I if you listen to
the entire rant, it's excrete. It's it goes on for a long time
you listen to the thing from beginning now, I did not clip
it. But if you listen to the whole thing when it first
starts, because it starts off with him defending is John
Dickerson can defend himself, by the way. Yeah. So Jen, John
Dickerson did this interview with Trump and Trump was good,
like, slamming him and CBS in a very, in a way that fits in
context is not it's just Trump being a dick. And so I actually
have a clip from that later. And so Colbert decides to go after
Trump with just one insult after another and in context of the
series of insults, which are just never ending a that that's
the last of them, but that's the one Yeah, but then they got to
be finally ended. But I thought in context, it wasn't as crude
as the as the whole thing.
I agree with you. And that is not the controversy is something
else. That's the surprising part.
No, I agree with you on that too, because the controversy is
ludicrous. Yeah, my opinion. Well, here
was the late night joke that left audiences shocked.
You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head.
In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being
Vladimir Putin pollster.
Stephen Colbert used a crew phrase while attacking President
Trump during a 12 minute monologue Monday night. The
comments received instant backlash online. The hashtag
fire cool, they're trending worldwide. While on cable news,
conservatives pounced.
I thought that was obscene.
I thought it was I thought it was inappropriate. And it shows
how out of touch because I've never said the word caulk. That
part of
the media is with the rest of America.
And it wasn't just Trump supporters blasting the late
night host some called the comments anti gay, cool there
explicitly mocks gay intimacy with the cover of mocking Trump
is hate speech.
I love blow jobs now being categorized as gay intimacy.
It's like the way this I thought when it happened that it was
just crude and the guy was, you know, control. But he was still
appealing to his audience, which he's making. He's making Hey,
sure, with this with his anti Trump stuff, I mean, it's by
making hay the advertisers are flocking and nobody's backed
off. Now, they should go after the advertisers. If they wanted
to get some effect here. This is the moment where you can go
after the advertisers, which again, is one of the things that
we discuss on this show a lot because we have no advertisers
for the same for the reasons that you know, the opposite rib
the reasons that this is what can happen. I think they're
gonna be hurt. It hurt his show.
Oh, absolutely. It'd be you can go too far with all of this
stuff. Yeah. But the main thing is, do you
think a good Catholic boy like gold bear? You think he'd have
you think you'd have some sort of self censorship mechanism?
Because he, he needs that I mean, any comic, especially on
nighttime night TV that that, I mean, you can get a little
dirtier than daytime stuff, but you have to have some self
censorship. And that was, that was just, it was a jaw dropper
that he didn't have the censorship, self censorship
necessary to keep him from using that joke. He already made his
point,
right. I've seen this more often. After 10pm. That's the
watershed moment, certainly on cable. But at late night, I've
seen I've heard shit a lot. I hear that on CNN all the time.
Now. All the time.
I hear shit. They're saying it too much.
They associate It's like someone sent out a memo. It's okay to
say shit now and I was like, gosh, they'll say,
like a bunch of little kids. That's great. Tommy, can I cuss?
Go ahead, son cuss all you want and then the kid starts cussing
Of course what why wouldn't he? And so this is what's happening
and we're seeing this and I think it's I think it's I think
these people need to get a clue here. They're gonna mature
adults. And I'd say Coal Baron particular. Yeah, he's got this
thing locked up. He's killing it. And
he's number one in the ratings right? He's he's talking late
night now. Yes, he's killing it and that must really are the
jimmies
Well, the gym is where you have both have problems. One Jimmy
Kimmel has actually retired not retired, but he has to leave the
show because he has a child just had a child his heart conditions
where he's going to stop doing the show. No, he's not doing the
show as we speak. Oh, you okay, we'll be back. All right. And
but he did a heartfelt thing and he got a lot of attention for
it. But then he you know, had to go because of his child's having
issue as Kid almost died or something like that. Yes. And
Fallon is now getting a lot of negative publicity we're hearing
there's just a report recently that he's an a high functioning
alcoholic.
That makes total sense. I didn't know this about them.
Yeah. So apparently I don't know this for a fact. But it's been
really reported a lot that he's a high functioning alcoholic and
he doesn't care. He still goes out and parties and gets into
fights. In fact, one guy said in one of them gossip, she's claims
that it's astonishing how good he is at fighting who you wanted
to know where he learned it. And so he's got you know, the
network can't like this, but if he's drunk on that show, more
power to him. I have never seen anybody do so well, if he's
drinking at all. I mean, this guy is not that easy to go and
perform like that. Although some people comics in particular.
Many of them and maybe can attest to this just used to
produce comedy shows. Yeah, only perform well when they're drunk
or stoned. Or high on coke.
Yeah, not we'd only coke. Generally speaking, Dave
Chappelle said that he he usually smokes weed before.
Well, yeah, but Chappelle he's got his style of comic is very
laid back.
Most comics, Chappelle on coke would be funny.
I don't think he can handle it. No, no, these guys have all have
a drug of choice. And so it's one of the group but very rarely
do they get to the point in their career where they they're
hosting a late night show.
Well, so that explains Fallon's you know, girlie giggles laugh.
He's always Hey, I was laughing along with everybody. That's
on that show. Yeah, hammered.
Let's go do a show and I want a life.
That's me. So we have this late night issue. And now we have a
cold bear. Right. Let's see. The late night scene is not what it
used. No,
no. I you mentioned that the CBS interview I have a little clip
here. This is in the Oval Office. And it's a Dickerson who
just consistently is hounding Trump on. On Russia, and then
the spying think that
I wouldn't call Dickerson style hounding, but maybe well, he
learned that skill. Who
do you call to say, what's it like? Is nobody you? Sorry?
Yeah, that's diggers. He's got a funny twist. I can't figure out
what what that accent is.
He learned that skill. Who do you call to say, what's it like?
Is
nobody you can call? Did President Obama give you any
advice that was helpful? That you think well, he's very nice
to me. But after that, we've had some difficulties. So it doesn't
matter. You know, words are less important to me than deed said.
You saw what happened with surveillance and everybody saw
what happened with surveillance. I thought that Well, you saw
what happened with surveillance and I think that was
inappropriate. What does that mean? You can figure that out
yourself.
The reason I asked is you said he would you call him sick and
bad. Look,
you can figure it out yourself. He was very nice to me with
words but and when I was with him, but after that there has
been no relationship but you stand by that claim about him
stand by anything. I just, you can take it.
Hello, President Trump zone say the words I don't stand by
anything this. These are the things that you do wrong. This
is what comes back to bite you in the ass you oath.
No relationship, but you stand by that claim about himself by
anything. I just You can take it the way you want.
I mean, that's so stupid. That is that is really dumb.
Whatever. Well,
he's just, he's just, he's like winging it. I mean, this is a
guy joking about the comics a minute ago. This guy was so
sober. It's ludicrous. Yeah. And he is. He's just, he's just a
motormouth. That's all I can say. I understand
where he's coming from, but he just needs to go a little eat.
Slow down. So yeah, you know what the problem
is for guy and he needs a Florida guy that's on the other
side of the camera. Make making the motion to slow down stretch,
slow, slow, slow.
I learned this. From Scott Shannon Scott Shannon, WMC ZZ,
you 100 Doing the morning show, we have like five or six voices.
He said, Let the room breathe. Just be quiet for a moment. It's
okay. I still do that. I love silence. And he's piled jumping.
It's easy to it's almost like he's afraid to have any dead
air. You know, when he talks like, seriously, it's like,
you gotta I gotta school broadcaster, yes, he's
a high skier, or just a podcaster, whichever comes first
no relationship, but
you stand by that claim of evidence,
thereby anything. I just You can take it the way you want. I
think our sites have been proven very strongly and everybody's
talking about it. And frankly, it should be discussed. I think
that is a
very, you know, I think I think you've nailed it because he
doesn't look, frankly, it shouldn't be he just he says I
believe very strongly in it. Frankly, it should be just word
after word. Shut
up. Shut up. 10 screen space. It's
like there's a little dead air. Let me put a word in there. I'll
put any word in it comes to mind. Yeah. So he's completely
out of control, which I think which makes him a good public
speaker. Yeah,
but not so good. One year, the press micro analyzes everything.
That's what Obama was great at. He would never say anything out
of place.
No, and he was stopped, and he had weasel
words, and he got
into stammering he would be thinking of the right thing to
say. Terrible speaker. Yeah, in terms of ad libbing, because he
couldn't. But he wasn't just throwing words, throwing words
together. So it does make you sound smart. I don't know what's
Trump's brain is like, but it's, it's not good for these
situations. He did. He did another every interview. He's
done like this. He's done again. It's slouched over so it doesn't
look fat. And he's yakking away and he can't stop talking
strongly. And everybody's talking about it. And, frankly,
it should be discussed. I think that is a very big surveillance
of our citizens. I think that's a very big topic. And it's a
topic that should
vary. He also makes it you know, somebody sat down and transcribe
what he said, it makes no sense when you hear that his sentences
are all screwed up. It's a very big surveillance. Yeah, he
drops words all the time. Yeah, he's worse than Ron Paul.
Remember, Ron
Paul would drop where he would always start a sentence and
never end the sentence.
of our citizens. I think that's a very big topic. And it's a
topic that should be number one, and we should find out,
Oh, wait a minute. What happened to number one about women? What
the hell
is going on? I just wanted to find out, though, you're
the president United States. You said he was sick and bad because
he anyway, you can take it any way you want. But I'm asking you
because you don't want it to be fake news. I want to hear from
President Trump. Now.
He'd said you don't want to be fake news. Why would you throw
that in douche
You said he was sick and bad. Because
here's the thing if you a lot of these guys who do coaching and I
would say Tony Robbins is probably the greatest coach in
the United States, even though he's like, you know, somebody
you may not want to pay attention to. But if you read
any of his material, one of the things he likes to say and this
is applies to sports to you, when you see these two teams
playing with the Warriors will be playing again tonight. One
team is trying to get the other team to go at their pace. It's
always a rule of sports, if they can speed up the game and those
other guys, they don't know what they will, they'll fall apart
because they can't speed up they want to slow down the game. So
ROM has made his point which I always felt was a it's a
salesman's trick trick and Trump does it. And Trump sets the pace
and he gets people eat like he's yakking away. And he gets people
to step up their pace and they start to screw up. That's what
Dickerson just did. Yes. You know, the old trick where you
want to get somebody. Or the other trick was Robinson
advocates. If the guy slow and talking real slow like this, you
want to talk real, okay, a miracle talk like this. Because
then now you're like, you're starting to get in line with him
be able to sell them. So that's how you know that's how you
apply MLP? Yes, exactly. Neuro Linguistic
Programming is is completely out of control. And so Dickerson is
instead of controlling the pace, because he can't. Trump is
well, they're also standing in the Oval Office. And he knows
he's about to get kicked out. I mean, especially when you throw
but you don't want to be fake news. And I want to remind
everybody, fake news did not come from President Trump. It
came from the media themselves. And I kind of say it was CNN.
I think it was CNN who said that
Hillary lost being able to fake news, fake news.
It was the Washington Post.
Is there a difference? It's the same same third year,
the president united states who said he was sick and bad
because he tapped anyway, you can take it any way you want.
But I'm asking you because you don't want it to be fake news.
I want to hear from President Trump.
You don't have to ask? Because I have my own opinions. You can
have your own opinions.
But I want to know your opinions. Are the president
united states enough? Thank you.
All right, get out.
Thank you. That way too fast. He stepped it way up. Yeah. I think
Trump saw that or he understood the guy was up, you know, now
he's yakking away like it. Trump's speed. Yeah. And that
was it. He won. You're good. Go. Yeah, yeah. Trump won. He won
the debate.
And he ended up. Yeah,
the president United States.
Thank you. Thank you very much. He was done with that
conversation.
Yes, he was Gail. He was done with that conversation. Yeah.
Amazing.
I think Dickerson got,
I mean, I turned on, I turned on CNN last night, and Bettina on
our scene. I was like, they're just making things up. They're
just making stuff up. Well, you know, perhaps when Trump went
there and he said all but we got a meeting behind the Starbucks
and some guy got some money and they're just making it up like,
like their spy novelists. It's really it's really, really,
really unbelievable what's going on in dimension B. But anyway, I
think with that I can safely say I'd like to thank you for your
courage today in the morning to you John Suey, where the C
stands for Coach extraordinaire double rack
in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the morning to all
ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water. And all the days and nights out and
in the morning to everybody in the no agenda war room, you'll
find that at no agenda stream.com You can listen and
participate at the same time in the morning as well to comic
strip blogger who brought us the artwork for episode nine or two
five Barry's choice the title of that one. And this was a very
nice piece. It was the hammer and sickle only the hammer is a
microphone.
Yeah, we went and did a little research to see if that has been
ever done before. No. And
and it's important to say no evidence of it. Yeah, that, you
know, if you take someone else's work and you change it into
parody or any other you can look up what fair uses. We're okay
with it. But just taking a funny bit and posting our you know, no
agenda on it is not good enough. And this
was an original idea. Yeah. That it was extremely impressive. I
mean, I was taken aback and there was a piece of art that
more related to the show, which is typically what we like to
use, but this thing was so it was good. Interesting, because
it just it's it's just it's and we did a tribute to the comic
strip bloggers a Polish guy
while he's a Polish guy living in Germany who I think his main
job is making iPhone apps and he's missed his calling.
Well, in turn, well, yes, you could be starving Polish poster
maker for
podcasts, a Polish podcast poster maker.
That's not gonna work. But the that's the kind of crazy
thinking. I mean, that was just dynamite. So we really
appreciate that piece. So he doesn't have to do any more
and no agenda are generated.com is where you can upload yard. We
choose something right after we're done in our post
production meeting. And we appreciate the work that all of
our artists do. And guess we have one name for this segment
today.
Yeah, one we have one Associate Executive producer who came in
and she will be named Vanessa. Vanessa, Hampshire in verwood.
UK she's not even in America. She's in the UK because we're
covering the UK quite. We got a lot of UK coverage. We do too.
We do we do. She came in with 250 bucks and she'll be bumped
up to executive producer for being the highest
highest associate with no exam. For those who got
lucky. Nobody else cared about today's show.
You spun the wheel of fortune and you got lucky. Vanessa
Hannah here
has finally got around to donating. She loves the show.
It's my birthday this week and she's calling you a present as
illogical. as logical as the rest of the world. I thought as
logical as the rest of the world. I thought just for your
nana. What she's saying is, it's my birthday, but I'd send you a
present just as logical as the rest of the world is.
Kay pronounce ham Shira not hams here. Am sheer Yeah, okay. Yes,
she that's the way that nature of the show is that you have a
birthday you send a donation that's sounds, I think is a good
idea.
Anybody want to thanks. We endorse this idea. And
whether we endorse this idea as crazy as it sounds on the
surface. Give her some karma. And that's it. Yeah.
You've got karma. Well, thank you very much.
I will mentioned the view the problem when we have something
like this is that now you have to listen to us grouse about the
lack of support. So
I got nothing to grouse about it. It is what it is. I can't
help it.
I can alright, I'm doing the work anyway. In grouse about I
can't do anything about
it. Let me finish up here I want to thank our one now executive
producer of course will be thanking more people later on
$50 or above and these this is a real credit so but so take that
and put it on your LinkedIn apparently it helps with jobs.
And remember our show the next one coming up on Sunday please
support us at VO rec.org/and A whether you're in a Claudio or
whether you're in just a plain old office the out there
propagating the formula
is this we go out we hit people in the mouth
what's their song by Phil Collins clue to
clue clue clue do ya? Yeah, that was the title of it.
I remember that so I'm gonna do anyway. Well, these Vanessa came
in that's at least a positive thing. Yes. I got finally couple
of short clips here and there that I thought were interesting,
including this one would play this clip and then we'll discuss
it for a second. This is Tillerson on writes.
President Trump's America First policy means that human rights
will not determine US relations with foreign governments.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took that message to his
employees today. He said that in some cases, quote, If you
condition national security efforts on someone adopting our
values, it really does create
obstacles. Well, there's nothing new there. He's just stating the
obvious.
Well, we try to we've had trouble. State Departments have
had trouble. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.
Otherwise, we'll end up supporting Hitler. I mean,
that's what the implication is that well, Hitler's got his own
way of doing things. Why should we give a crap? Oh, he's so
good. So what if he's, if he's cooking Jews over there, but
there was a make?
Show title John Cook and Jews over their show title?
Yeah, I don't think so. Now, but this would this is about because
that really is not our policy. Generally speaking, we've been
people are horrible, horrendous. I mean, now everyone's bitching
about the fact that that Trump would have Duarte from the
Philippines, a murderer for all practical purposes, visiting the
White House and when bitches about it. This is done for one
reason, one reason only Africa. The Chinese have moved into
Africa and pretty much taken over the place using this
philosophy. Yes, we're Chinese, we got going on we're doing
these people are doing whatever they're doing. They got nothing
to do with us. We just want to do business with them. And
that's what Tillerson has adopted. It's gonna backfire,
though, because it's, it's a bad image.
So you're saying that we are going to be like the Chinese?
Yes. Well, we better get a move on and on China. But in Africa,
we have the Chinese and Africa Get a move on, then. I'm sure
we're getting a move on.
The stories will start to change over the next few years. Yeah.
But this is not going to sit well with the image conscious,
liberal elites.
There were a couple other interesting interviews, and some
follow up, I want to hit North Korea for a moment. So again,
the headline was, I would be honored to meet with Kim Jong
yum, yum. That was the headline, which of course, by itself
sounds like what what you'd be honored to meet the Crazy Crazy
boy, the crazy kid. So again, we'll play this in context, you
have
put throughout your career great emphasis on forging personal
relationships. And that's true in the White House also, in your
ability to make deals, in part based on his personal
relationships. So what I want to ask you is, have you thought
about this? Would you be willing to meet with Kim Jong?
We have a potentially very bad situation that
interesting, but I noticed here in this particular interview,
he's much more careful with his words, you can really hear the
brain crunching about what he wants to say next. And he's. And
I think that to your point, he's mirroring her tempo. Exactly. He
is not speeding it up. Now. He's going the other direction.
bad situation that we will meet in the toughest of all manners,
if we have to do that. It would be appropriate for me to meet
with him.
I would absolutely I would be honored to do it. If it's under
the again, under the right circumstances, but I would do I
would do that. Hey, look, I'm meeting with a bus on Wednesday.
Palace and you think that's slightly smaller? I'm meeting
with a bus on Wednesday. And people are saying that's a very
good thing to do, because I'd like to see peace in the Middle
East. And I'd like to see the Palestinians and the Israelis
come together and Israel come together in peace. Now, so under
the right circumstances, I went under the right circumstances I
wouldn't be
do you think these are the right circumstances? Now?
I think he is. Look, look. We have tremendous power over
there. And we cannot allow him to do what he's doing. We cannot
allow him to say what he's saying. He's making very
provocative If statements, we cannot allow that we cannot let
a situation happen, where, under any circumstances where he can
launch missiles into the United States plus, we happen to have
great allies in that area. And I feel very strongly toward those
allies. So, yes, under the right circumstances, I would
absolutely make no problem. You're taking everything. Most
political people would never say that but I'm telling you, under
the right circumstances I would make with
him, so I think he messed up by saying I would be honored. But
that is a great negotiating tactic say I really look forward
to meeting the guy I want to kick in the teeth. I hope they
meet shot. Well, we know that that's what Kim Jong Yom Yom
wants. We know. That's what he wants him John Yong Yong, Kim
Jong Yong Yong, Kim Jong Yong Yong, Kim Jong Yong Yong ki just
wants to be a country with tourism. That's what he wants.
Now.
Let's go. And it's apparently a very beautiful place to visit.
And when they have those special events, yeah, who wouldn't want
to go to one of those? Let's watch those guys marching around
jerking their heads around and everything flying. Holy
mackerel, how can you do that with those paper mache missiles
is great. Yeah, so I think this also plays into the other thing
there's there's a kind of a parallel thing going on newswise
with this.
I've just wanted to stay on for this for one second, too short
clip still about those allies in the region. Ally number one
would be Japan.
According to Russia Today the US has sent a high altitude
surveillance RFQ for Global Hawk drone to Japan, it's expected to
monitor moves made by the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea. The drone arrived at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo late on
Monday after flying from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam,
the US military said it will remain in Tokyo until October to
avoid inclement weather in Guam, including typhoons. But experts
believe staying in Tokyo will enable it to arrive at the
Korean Peninsula faster. The drone is capable of collecting
aerial data from an altitude of about 15 kilometers or higher.
According to the US military for other Global Hawk drones are
also scheduled to arrive at Yokota soon.
15 kilometers so what is that? That's 15 kilometers is too bad.
I guess. 45 miles? No, it's less than that.
15 kilometers? Yeah. About 11 miles.
No, no, I think it's more like eight. It's not 11.
Well, so we could do the calculation and talk about put
it into the chat room. Yeah, well, that's just
nine miles went on my Well, no, I have the final clip and then
I'm done. What would you just do out of a Japanese clip, but I'm
gonna I'm doing allies in the region. Okay, you want to do? I
mean, it's just it's 30 seconds. Just play it. Okay. So the other
allies of course, South Korea, let's check in with the South
Koreans and see how they feel about our US military might
lie from Beijing and Panda. We start in South Korea and anti
thyroid rally was held in Seoul on Saturday ahead of the
presidential election in a country, people were urging the
next President to reconsider the deployment of the US anti
missile system. The organizer said about 50,000 people
attended a rally including over 100 residents from St. Joe
county where the system will be installed. The organizer is
planning to hold another demonstration closer to the
presidential election on night and nine in St. Joe County.
Currently, Mr. Moon Jae In of the Democratic Party is holding
the lead in the majority of the pose
depose, oh, there you go. They don't want it 50,000 people
demonstrating Get your damn.
They don't want to pay for it. So it's gonna screw the American
taxpayer. And besides that, nobody knows if it even works.
And I doubt if it does, and who is the buyer? I still don't know
who the buyer is. The buyer is apparently the American taxpayer
at this point. Yeah. Well, this is all this is what you kind of
got close to touching on the point, which is the sad thing.
But let's play this clip from Artie who's only ones that seem
to really want to isolate this as an issue. This is the RE
militarized Japan clip
Japan's pacifist constitution has turned 70 If I didn't turn
70 today, but days before the big occasion, the prime minister
said the country's main law needs to change
can I say to you in this milestone year, we will take an
historic step towards the large goal of constitutional reform.
proposed revisions would change the charter that renounces the
use of force and international conflicts and limits Japan's
troops to self defense, and the government's made several steps
towards militarization. Five years ago, RBS party advocated a
revised constitution, while in 2014. The Prime Minister wanted
to allow the military to use force and cooperation with other
A country's two years ago, Japan's parliament passed
changes allowing troops to fight abroad. And that same year,
Shinzo Abe a said amending the pacifist constitution was one of
the Liberal Democratic Party's most sought after goals. And
just last week, the prime minister named one of the main
reasons for Japan's current military buildup
in North Korea is a grave threat to our country. We'd like to be
watertight to ensure safety for our citizens. Our country will
be resolute in its response.
As a specialist Tim bale believes restoring the Japanese
military is about confronting more than just North Korea,
United States sees Japan as its major ally fighting force
against China and to certain extent against Russia. So the
Americans are very keen to promote Japanese
remilitarization. So this is a continuing effort which is
reaching a pretty dense point at the moment.
Are we nuts? Yeah. Now the Trump thing about meaning with Yom Yom
is not is kind of in contradiction to this movement
that we're also playing, which is again, the Cagle, the Kagan's
or Cagle.
They're just called the cables. Kegel, the key the Kegel
exercises and so speaking of which, are your granddaddy again
yeah, when does that kid come in?
I don't know pretty soon. The point is is that this is nuts
and this is again the war machine that's within the system
that we're now I mentioned this in the newsletter that you don't
even see any anti war stuff anymore now in the media used to
always be well, you know, we can't do too much war what
Eisenhower said kind of thing. Okay,
rule number one do not piss off your advertisers. They're all
part of the complex.
Well, that the drug companies and which is part of that too,
I think it's all the same of course. I'm saying
it's crazy to me and we're helping them Yeah, yeah. Dead.
What Why should they just be defensive? Do we you know, like
we want him to be offensive to just attack people like we do.
I love that we're also on the side of well, of course the new
Japanese are not the same but if you look at the was the sea no
war was that it? Japanese against the sino war Japanese
against the Chinese that the Japanese were pretty bad man.
Terrible raping and pillaging and cutting women's breasts off
and
they would never apologize. They're terrible. Still, I will
still have that switch. That was the reason for making them put
together a pacifist constitution. Not a good idea.
No, it's not. No. If you want to defend yourself, and if
you want to stay in this region, and let's talk about one more
crazy thing. This is my clip. This is the Korean teams want to
vote.
Now South Korean presidential election comes seven months
early following the impeachment of former President Park connais
on corruption charges. A side effect of that political scandal
is youth engagement. Young people had joined protests
calling for the country's president to step down. Now
those young people are calling for voting rights NHK rules Kim
challenges
many high school students throughout South Korea are
politically energized to these days, and they want more of a
say.
We want to elect the country's leader ourselves in order to
create a better society for assault.
The corruption scandal involving the president and her longtime
friend Chizen shell has kept cusabo busy with a youth group
that's engaged in social issues
so they want the teenagers
to vote we'll get them however we can we got the votes as long
as we can get all the teenagers to participate. Yeah.
Well, I don't know if it's unbelievable, but it's it's
unbelievable to me totally believable.
Hey, we got about the Queen's in little increments. So is this
show day? Last night before I went to bed I heard there was
some special meeting called the Buckingham Palace and people
think yes, yeah, what happened is supposed to have been
revealed that midnight last night.
What happened?
I didn't get I was looking I couldn't find anything. I can
find it without the Queen died.
That's what I thought and then maybe Prince Philip or Philip
may have died. And but you know, I was tuning into the BBC, you
know, they are they're under strict, even LBC. I listened to
everything that they were just doing filler because you're not
allowed to talk about it until they sanctioned it. Of course
the broadcast rules
of the current Google News. Google News is never really that
up to date.
Why don't you check that Google News? Yeah, I was wondering.
Yeah. According to the war room, the prince who is now 96 has
retired. Yeah,
that's it. Yeah. He retired from what?
From his important Commonwealth duties?
What duties did he have? Well, that weren't in the toilet,
calling people cannon fodder, useless eaters, you know, that
kind of stuff. That's, that's what he's known best for loving
Monsanto and GMOs.
So I was watching CNN. So that was a dud. So I was watching
CNBC, and there's something that happened on the show just a real
short, a short, does, the clip has come back anytime. Something
happened on the show, which I always thought I've always
wanted to do this. It didn't. This is just a little piece that
this woman was coming out of the closing bell. She's coming out
of the interview, and then she makes a comment and the guy does
what I've always wanted to do
talk about the Fed will talk about all these other things,
but come back anytime. Tomorrow or tomorrow. And the
one after?
Yeah, why is that? Yeah. That actually gets you that actually
gets you uninvited that kind of
you would never get invited back. You really don't want.
Anytime. Okay, tomorrow. I'll be back.
That is funny. Okay, so we'll just take a little detour here
and go into a little science stuff for a moment. Yes, and
that would be there was there was an interview with what's his
face. Neil deGrasse Tyson,
oh, Ilan,
that guy lOn. And I, we just need to listen to this. Now he's
an astrophysicist. So he's more of a scientist than Bill Nye in
the way I see it. But he's, he's also, here's a definition of a
or an example of a guy who's extremely smug. Very, very smug.
And I'm sure he's a little irked about Bill Nye success.
He's got a he's a certain type of smug is not the smug.
Samantha Bee style. He's a smug kind of this is the kind of
smugness and people out there who listen to talk radio. We'll
remember the right wingers that used to be local. They used to
be all over the country. And there used to be you'd have a
right wing channel. This is usually during the Clinton
administration. And there'll be the smuggle right wingers that
had these these shows. And all of them got knocked out of the
park.
Oh, stop for a second. So what you're saying is, it is not a
left or right or A or B thing. It's whoever is on the losing
side become smug.
It's a certain kind of weird smug, and it's yes, I think so.
And nowadays, it's I can't even
childish is what it is. That's what high school the children
do.
But it's kind of this way. Oh, yes. Oh, stupid. Good. Yes. Yes,
yes. Yes. Well, I think what Neil deGrasse Tyson is doing
here is trying to show that he really understand science and
why it needs to be protected. Because of course, science is
not an engineer. That's right. Now he doesn't mention that. But
I'm just saying because this interview, which was quite
lengthy. That was a PBS knows NPR I'm sorry, not PBS, NPR. And
the well, let's just kick it off. He has a quite an obsession
with Lincoln.
Let me play this interview for you and get your perspective on
the other side. What is your role?
See,
look, let me say to you, co2 contributes to greenhouse gas,
it has a greenhouse gas effect and global warming as methane
does. And other types of gases. The issue is how much we
contribute to it from the human activity perspective.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Oh, yeah. Was that a question? People react I do. So Abraham
Lincoln in 1863. When clearly he had other priorities in front of
him. In that year, he signed into law, the creation of the
National Academy of Sciences
die, you see z, this is very important. We have to take it to
Abraham Lincoln, who by the way is synonymous for Obama. We know
this, right? Oh, yeah. Obama was always compared to Lincoln.
Doesn't matter. Okay. Now, okay, here's why.
So if you now work for the government, and going to deny
what the National Academy of Sciences tells you, they go back
to Abraham Lincoln to say, Hey, you didn't know what the hell
you were talking about. And I do? Go back, go tell him that,
go ahead and
ask, Well, why would he even suggest that as a scientist, we
know we can't do that. Why is he doing this? You didn't
know what the hell you were talking about? And I do? Go
back, go tell him that. Go ahead. And and, and ask
yourself, why are you in any position of power in this
country? If the health, wealth and security of this country is
a priority? Because without any understanding of how science
works, you are jeopardizing our health, our wealth and our
security.
There's so much in this. Like you don't know what you're
talking about. You don't risk backside. Now the whole point is
people are disagreeing on the things that cannot even be
reproduced.
Good. Okay, the stop, stop, stop. I'm gonna guess what the
woman said next. She said, Well, I understand your position, I
think, I think is well taken and you're well spoken about it. But
aren't all these climate concepts based on a computer
model, which are notoriously flawed, because you can't really
get all the data in a computer model? And, and they're really
want to discuss it a little more in a little more detail since
since the whole thing is a computer model. And if you take
a computer scientist was you're not. And Bill nice, definitely
not. But you talk to computer scientists about computer models
and the reliability, they will tell you they're not reliable in
the least.
You are Nostradamus. Just like him, you predicted it
incorrectly. Oh, good work. No, no, he goes on to talk about how
we're all connected. And again, obsession was Lincoln, which was
kind of icky in this particular case.
Okay. All right, there are more molecules of water in a glass of
water, then there are a cup of water, then there are cups of
water in all the world's oceans.
What And your point
is he's going to ask it because that was very complicated when
he said that more cups of glass of water and the oceans of the
water, the molecules got a
cup of water, then there are cups of water in all the world's
oceans. Okay, say that again, say it again. Okay, there are
more molecules of water in a cup of water, than there are cups of
water in all the world's oceans. What this means is, there's
enough molecules in one cup to scatter, to all other cups that
you could dig out of the ocean. Which means if you drink that
cup, and that those molecules come back out of your body,
through sweat, through pee through whatever, then your
liquid effluence is are now shared with the entire Earth.
And what that means is, every glass of water you do drink
contains molecules of water that pass through the kidneys of a
Blinken of Ganga is Khan, of Joan of Arc of Jesus.
I'm drinking Lincoln's pee. Oh, God, what is he?
What is the point of this analogy? I don't know. I don't
know what it means is this was it what that means? Um, what
that means is you're drinking Abe Lincoln's piece. He's the
only hinge
he's is coming on hinge. Ben, of course, he has to defend science
because there is an anti science movement, which I haven't gotten
the signup form yet for him. But there
you believe there is an anti science sentiment in the United
States right now?
Well, among some Yes. And but I don't think it's anti science.
In general, those same people who might be in denial of
certain scientific truths, still use a smartphone.
Stop. When he's when he implied there
is a false equivalency, that's an example.
Well, yes, but I'm thinking what he's what he tried to get into
the into the subconscious was scientific fact. He used the
word, some, like scientific fact, or something like that, to
imply that global warming is a done deal. And it's not based on
a computer model, which is just speculation. Ah, okay. There is
a little neuro linguistic program. Yeah.
Or is an anti science sentiment in the in the United States
right now?
Well, among some Yes. And, but I don't think it's anti science.
In general, those same people who might be in denial of
certain scientific truths, still use a smartphone, you know. And,
you know, to find grandma's house on a GPS grid, they're
there, many of them are alive and didn't die in childbirth
because of advances in medicine. So, I think fundamentally,
people cannot rationally say they're anti science. What I
think they object to is that as adults, they have adopted a
certain outlook on the world and think that denying science that
conflicts without outlook is actually overturning the truth
of that science. It'd be like last week you you gained weight
and this week you want to repeal the law of gravity.
What Yeah, I would say when you say the law of mass or
something, but you gave what is if it was law of gravity have to
do so. that's gonna make you less fat
but if you repeal that, and you stepped on a scale the only way
an ounce or a pound or 10 pounds less than you used to depending
nah disguise yak yak yak last
week you hear gained weight and this week you want to repeal the
law of gravity. No, it does not work that way.
Hold on a second John along one second ago Wow. Did you have
great food last night? Or this more? I just drank your PC. Ah,
okay. winding it up. The most important thing when it comes to
science,
you've got mind blowing tweets on everything. You've also been
suggesting names for being
you've stepped on it. Why?
You You've got mind blowing tweets on everything. You've
also been suggesting names for Beyonce as twins.
Cosmic cosmic, you went there.
I saved it for the end. What are your suggestions for the queen
bee?
The Queen the what is suggestions for the queen bee?
Please,
I saved it for the end. What are your suggestions for the queen
bee? Dr. Tyson?
Yeah, I just had some cars. Well, I only did this because I
think her daughter was named the blue sky or something or some
some innovative name. So I thought, Okay, well, that she's
that that the interviewer knew? Oh, no, no, no, that's not the
right name. Yeah, she couldn't ask any other follow up
questions about computer models. But Oh, hold on a second. That
Blue Ivy I know all about I know about the the queen bees.
There's some no he are. She exactly NTR
eight have named Emma Blue Ivy. Thank you. So I thought okay,
well, that she's open for some suggestions. So I just found a
lot of paired phrases and words and in the universe, just to put
it out there. And many of them actually are gender neutral. So
you can just move what no matter who they are or what gender they
assign or choose that many of them will work.
But they assign that's a huge microaggression you don't get to
assign. That's the whole point. deGrasse Tyson, the child gets
to choose. He's wrong. You can't be assigning firstly tries to be
all politically correct by saying oh, it's gender neutral
names. But I think the general the two names that I put
together were douche and bag. But he's Oh, this is gender
neutral. Then goes goes on with a huge micro aggression against
non binaries isn't
just terrible. Yes, the universe just to put it out there. And
many of them actually are gender neutral. So you can just move
what no matter who they are or what gender they assign or
choose. Many of them will work. But I think my favorite was the
last one I posted, which was what was it? So I Quinn, and
tests are testing.
Wow. Bra comedian to Queen Kennedy. And I've come up with
all the kisses the kicker here is who was listening to this
program. That's what you want to know. And I think I have the
queen 10 Quintessence. Queen nescent Whatever.
I have intestinal intestinal.
Thank you the queen Tehsil NPR listener who calls in
compliments Mr. degrasse, Dr. Tyson, on his fabulous
interview.
Let's get Brenda in here from Aiken, South Carolina. Hi,
Brenda. You're on the air with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Hi, Jane. Hi, Dr. Tyson. Yes, hello. I'm calling in praise of
your humility. Not only on your own behalf, but for all of us
humans.
Oh, now Yeah, your humility is
human your humility.
That's a woman who's sitting at home hating Trump and is going
to die of cancer if you don't stop the hate people this is
what's killing you. I can't say it any different. You have this
kind of hatred and horrible you're harboring these feelings
inside and it's beating you up it is literally eating you up.
That's my take on cancer. Not always but totally one of the
reasons in my mind in my I'm not a doctor.
So let's do since we're on this subject, these celebrity icons.
I got a little clip of Katy Perry sticking her foot in it
and getting into trouble by being a racist.
Oh someone says I miss your all black hair all really do miss
Barack Obama as well. Okay times change by you guys later. Oh
wow do so first of all, I didn't know she was he didn't know what
I didn't know she was that much of an idiot. But that was a
little clip she made and posted and everyone's calling her out
for being a racist because she's acquainting all black hair with
with black people will Obama? Yeah. And I don't even know what
to be honest about it. I listened to this thing because I
heard about a big fuss. I heard about it got the clip and I
listened to it. I went it was a crap this woman's you know,
she's just a dingbat. But okay. It's very much like the Colbert
thing about the holster. Yes. And I'm wondering that this
entire the entire left or the half of the public is just
completely there. They've lost their minds.
Well, yes, I think I have a perfect example. This comes from
the social justice warrior network known as Mastodon, of
course, no agenda. social.com still running great. We're in
our own little echo chamber. I think we've been blocked by just
about everybody. For whites for the Federal Fair, because we're
all right, K K, K, Nazi quadrupeds. If you recall, that
is what's on the banned list. That's what we are. Yeah, we're
banned. But this caught my eye that she was pointed out to me.
Now you know that in, in, you've used the system in the mastodon
when you toot, there's a it's called CW a content warning. So
you can put some you can put a picture or text behind a little
grayed out area. And then if you actually want to see that you
have to explicitly click on it, and then it shows it which I
think is a great idea. That's what Twitter should have done.
Because then then you're not triggered all the time.
But
this be Cavallo, this woman who was in his Social, I'm putting
this in the show notes, you got to read the whole thread, it's
written it's one of those little booklets that you like that
Macedon does so well. It has a nice little the thread is really
well done one page is beautiful to look at. Yeah. The question
here is, should I should a post like this have a hashtag CW for
hashtag food? That hashtag CW of course stands for content
warning. I'm not really clear on what that warning includes. I
assume pictures but I'm inconsistent when it comes to
all mention. I confess I can feel hesitancy in myself
sometimes regarding content warnings, because the reward
cycle of people respond can be feels less certain if I hide
things. I know this isn't a good reason. But I still tried to use
content warnings responsibly. And, but I feel like it's worth
acknowledging I crave attention validation in some design
patterns may emphasize or de emphasize those things in ways
I'm still learning to react to no other people are coming in.
Any mention of food is usually a good idea for a content warning,
in my opinion. You know what they're talking about? Know what
they're talking about what she posted that people got all upset
about? Peanuts, a picture of macaroni and cheese. Why?
Because this could trigger people with an eating disorder.
Who, people with an eating disorder when they see the
macaroni and cheese picture, they will be triggered by it.
And what would they do after they're triggered? Well, it'd
become mass murderers.
It depends on what the eating disorder is. It could be really
dangerous rolling up although it can be a problem. It could be
someone who wants to binge I mean, that's serious. But come
on. I mean, we're going to stop ever don't mean you have to stop
everything. It's going to be just a world where you just have
everything is covered. Oh, don't look at this. You might get
triggered. Seriously, macaroni and cheese. They're worried that
that will trigger someone so we have to put it behind a little
content warning, warning. Macaroni and Cheese ahead. This
is so we've gone nuts. We've gone nuts. Mac and cheese,
mac and cheese by iron Rand.
Well, it's time for a reboot, we're gonna get one I think
economically now set a lot of this stuff but into the back
burner where it belongs. Let's let's talk a little bit about
talking about back burners, where it belongs. Some of the
action going on in the UK with the Brexit Yeah, of course falls
right into my thesis, which I've maintained since day one just
restarted to show that this is really the Fourth Reich and you
can't you know, once you're in it, you can't get out and we're
not going to let the UK leave.
It's the roach motel.
And so let's play a couple of clips. All right. All right. All
right. Let's start with the Brexit woes. The beginning
British Prime Minister Theresa May has accused the European
Union of meddling in Britain's general election in a forceful
speech on sound outside Downing Street May said that European
officials had issued what she is calling threats about Britain's
withdrawal from the EU. And she said that they were designed to
affect the outcome of a snap poll taking place on the eighth
of June. So,
according to a report in the Financial Times today, Europe is
raising the stakes and the Brexit negotiations to 100
billion euros. The potential price tag or Britain's divorce
from the EU will do little to heat up already frosty relations
between Brussels and London and that before negotiations have
even begun they've offered 50
billion 60 billion 100 billion we've actually not been given an
official number. Whilst we'll meet our international
obligations will be the legal ones not the not the best
guesses and wishes of the Commission.
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier is adamant there
will be no easy way out for Britain. In Brussels today Bani
a maintain that commitments have been made. And those
responsibilities have to be honored.
Some have created the illusion that Brexit would have no
material impact on our lives. This is not the case.
London is also taking a sharper tone. Prime Minister Theresa May
made some serious allegations against Brussels, threats
against Britain have been issued by European politicians and
officials. All of these ads have been deliberately timed to
affect the result of the general election that will take place on
the eighth of June. The Brexit negotiation seems set to be
bruising, talks are likely to begin soon after the snap
election,
snap election. So here's here's what I don't understand 100
billion. So that's that's doable.
It is doable, but they don't want to do it because they don't
owe 100 billion.
How do you know? Well, that's
my understand they don't have anything. It's about why why why
do they owe any money? I don't Well, I guess there's I guess
there's some indebtedness that's involved with the back and
forth. Ah, I get asked the same question that one of the most
rich and successful of all the EU countries, it seems to me
that they should get money to leave. Yeah, because that seems
as though the EU owes them money. But okay, we'll just let
that slide. But this is because we don't when in fact, we see
this with the French elections. The two candidates, which I
don't have any port debate when, by the way the French debate
with Yeah, look, Lapan, and I saw
some of that that was pretty cool. Did you hit Did you catch
the line? She threw at him?
The line that there's gonna be a female leader of France. No one
No. Oh, no. Let me give you my land and you can top it. Okay.
She says, Well, whatever happens in the election, there's going
to be a female leader of France, either me or Merkel.
Know, the one I caught was to this. They were arguing it was
pretty heated. Just Hey, hold on a second. We don't have a
student teacher relationship here. Okay. Which of course, is
a huge dig because his wife was his teacher when he was in
kindergarten, whatever.
Oh, my God, that's great. Well, the way they set it up, people
should note note this. They had like a couple of moderators, but
they were sitting there and these two were sitting across
from each other for three hours just berating each other Yeah,
it was pretty, it was good. We shouldn't do that. And I love
the mini debate I've ever seen in this country. And
they have those big clocks on each side. So you're counting
down how many minutes you have, like a it's like a chess clock.
Yes. Much more optimistic much on now. Production television,
television production wise, not that exciting look kind of like,
you know, just it wasn't the grandiose, pompous thing which
we liked.
It wasn't bad. No, no, it wasn't bad in terms of design, but it's
riveting.
Yes, it was really fun. I have a clip from I mean,
it's two people pretty much berating each other in a very
entertaining fashion.
Can I kind of play the snow? Let me get let me get my Faraj clip
on the Brexit. Alright, Faraj is on his radio show. And this is
something I didn't know is going on, but I think this is what
he's gonna be at the end of this. What the EU is going to do
or is trying to do is absolutely deplorable.
Is that the Q?
What are the face of the Brexit negotiations, The Daily
Telegraph reveal they've seen secret documents that show that
the EU have privately decided to block any deal to guarantee the
rights of UK citizens living in the European Union. And of
course, the reciprocity that would come for the over 3
million EU citizens living in our country. It is truly
extraordinary when it was them, actually there was accusing
Theresa May of not being reasonable. And I've said
already, they're asking for a fortune. They're trying to stop
us reaching out to speak to other parts of the world. They
want us after we've left to maintain all their rules. And
worse than that, they've effectively given the Spanish a
veto over Jabra Also, I Worst of all, in my opinion, worst of
all, the EU have indicated that if Northern Ireland would opt to
leave the United Kingdom and join up with error, there will
be absolutely no problem in a new United Ireland, virtually
automatically becoming a member of the European Union. So what
they are doing to try to make Brexit negotiations difficult
for this government is they are prepared to stoke Irish
nationalism and all that could come with that. I think that
perhaps is the most contemptible thing that I've heard so far.
So he's talking about like, Northern Ireland type stuff,
bombing and blowing up IRA. Wow. Wow. Yeah, I actually have if
you're interested. lievable if you're interested, I have. I
have of course I had a Brexit clip. I have a little I want to
play the little piece where Theresa what Theresa May
actually said because that wasn't in your report,
the British prime minister has visited Buckingham Palace to
formally dissolve parliament ahead of June's snap election.
It marks the official start of campaigning, and Theresa May
wasted no time in making a plea for voters to give her
Conservative Party a large majority in order to strengthen
her hand in divorce talks with Brussels. After meeting the
Queen may accused EU officials of issuing threats over Brexit,
deliberately timed to influence the election,
there are some in Brussels who do not want these talks to
succeed, who do not want Britain to prosper. So now more than
ever, we need to be led by a prime minister and a government
that is strong and stable. Because making Brexit a success
is central to our national interest. And it is central to
your own security and prosperity.
There you go. And she's pretty much saying that they're
meddling in their elections. Where have we heard that before?
You hear it all the time. Whereas, but how can Putin's not
doing it? Yeah, Putin should get involved and he shouldn't be
should do a little little propaganda crank up the RT
antennas.
All I know is that this is a disaster waiting to happen. I
don't know if the elections are gonna go the way and there may
be nothing come of it. You know, you have the same exact people.
Nothing changes that retired, which is what I think is going
to happen. But it's not going to be this huge mandate. And I
think half of the country still just assume be European and give
up on their own sovereignty. They're not nation Russell's
dumb that Brussels tell us what to do, we'll be fine with it. No
nations no borders beyond me. It just makes zero sense to me.
Well, having
lived there. During this changeover, I moved back to the
to Amsterdam in 1999, the end of 99. And I witnessed the whole
thing. It was sold and to this day, I think people still
believe it. So besides the no borders, so you can travel
wherever you want to go through passport control. Everyone has
the same money, which of course is the real change once you
control the money you control everything. But the way people
and the campaign's that were so much I mean, there was actual
propaganda, of course, they just call it promotion of the
European concept was we're all Europeans. We're all brothers
and sisters, we all live together. We all love each
other. We're the new Europeans will even like the new Germans.
You know, we won't make the joke about the bike and all that
stuff. That is it was pounded into people's heads. And they
believe it and they believe it and they believe in you know,
it's like, hey, we want to be a great, you know,
this is what happened. I should mention this people should look
into this. Before World War One. It was very similar. They
dropped all passports, there was no need for papers to go from
country to country. It was papers mostly, and everybody was
roaming around was passports free and then the economy's were
booming. If you look at the trade charts, for between 1900
and world war one it was it was on the upward slope, it was
going skyrocketing. And it was the same situation. And when the
war broke out, it was horrible. It just went from Oh,
everybody's so happy to just the most miserable situation you can
imagine. And that's exactly what this is leading to die don't
like that. You've been leading towards another great war.
Yes. Oh, I mean, this phony baloney. Oh, yeah, we're great.
Let's let's Brussels. I mean, the whole thing of Brussels and
these idiotic regulations, rules and laws that they're creating
for all these other countries. Their mentality there is not the
same as anybody like in Hungary, for example, it seems to be one
of the few countries that seems to be resisting a little bit.
They wanted to be in the deal for the trade aspect that they
didn't want big guys in Brussels, telling them what to
do. That's why they cut off the No, no, no, we don't want any
migrants. We've already been through that, like two or three
years ago. We didn't like it, then. Yeah. Well,
I think that people inherently like to have a leader, you know,
someone who has that has the the public persona who was running,
running the joint. And I feel that having been there when all
this took place, there was like, Yeah, let's have somebody Let's
have someone running the whole Europe, you know, this is great,
will be great. Well, it will be more power from America, more
people. So our money will be great. We'll be able to
basically, America, America, America will be able to travel
back and forth like in America, we'll have our own Washington,
which should be in Brussels. The only thing they messed up is the
people who were there. We didn't actually vote for him. Well,
well, the oversight just keep on going. It's all right. They
can't introduce any laws, ma'am. Constitution, which is why
they turned it down. Right? They put a big Parliament together,
which and the parliament can't do anything. Well,
they can't. They can't introduce laws. And they can only send
stuff back for a yellow card or a red card, which just means
send it back and then fix it. The commission the unelected
secret commission. Not secret. Yeah,
that sits there. Right. Grinding laws out. Yeah.
And you know, some people are figuring it out. But now in
general, nope. No stoop everyone's say that people are
stupid. That stupid everywhere.
I think it's a miracle that Brexit passed.
Well, that's the same miracle that Trump won.
The 12. Yes.
So is it a miracle? Or is it just sign all the times?
Well, we're gonna find out after this next snap election in June,
yeah. And then, as this progresses? How do you know,
I've
never understood this system in the UK? We're very simple. We
have every four years every two years for the House and Senate.
But how do they describe I've never really looked into it? How
did they just say, oh, let's have an election? I mean, how
does it's like sitting around drinking? Hey, I got an idea.
Somebody can tell me I'm wrong about this. But the Prime
Minister decides that things are skewed in one way or another,
and they she calls for an election. And then the House of
Commons and I think confirmed by the House of Lords says okay,
and then they haven't.
But is that is that the only time where if you're elected,
then you're just in there. Okay. Max term is five years, the War
Room says okay, so we have five years max, but UK, if you can
just say, hey, let's do an election. In Yeah, you can do an
election when you feel like it, which is also I think, pretty
much up for political reasons, like political propaganda
district reasons. Yeah.
We think we have an edge right now we'll have an election and
we'll get more people on our side. Or we're not going to have
an election because we're not we don't have an edge. And so the
Prime Minister never calls for one until the five years or
whatever period of time is up, then they have to do one. So
they can have a lot of elections. I've been moments
where they've had two or three of them. Yeah, she's not how
long she been in about, like a little over a year if that.
No, not even. Not even. So we'll see.
But it's a mess. And they got themselves entangled in this. I
don't know how you do that is we've done it with the WTO we've
given up our sovereignty in a lot of ways and we're all for
that, you know, no borders. No hell, whether we What are you a
borders for? Everyone go wherever they want.
Oh, boy. Yeah. Well.
I mean, you know, if you're an internationalist you would be
for one thing, you're rich. You're an internationalist,
you're loaded and you got a lot of stuff. And you don't want
people stealing your stuff. Right. And so you know what to
do? Yeah. So you want a dev this thing, kind of just the wild
west out there except in your enclave? You're in Monaco. Yeah.
In Los Altos Hills. Yeah, someplace. Yeah, worrying about
any when it when all hell breaks loose and the power goes out in
San Francisco, and they're looting and rioting. So what can
they do with you? Apparently, the
queen can dissolve the government whenever she feels
like it.
I don't know if that's ever happened yet to go to the Queen
to get her to make the decision to do
that. But she's just ceremonial. please always remember just
ceremony. Speaking of people stealing their stuff. They were
again from C span and stuff happening up in DC. The
president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Patricia
Harrison. Now this is about PBS. And if you watch PBS, I watched
it last night. There are ads, they take commercial breaks, and
then I see 23 and me I see all kinds of stuff. And it just they
have advertising, correct? Yes. And we know Yeah. And we know
that the actual funding from CPB is small for CPV from the
government. It's very small.
I think it's like 15% I
think it's even less than that.
I could be We might as well take a look. I know it's been
shrinking.
Hold on for centage funding Pb S. governments. And this will be
very unscientific, but at least okay. And 2012, according to The
Washington Post, so that would be my guess good enough as a
proof. Whereas I'm rolling down here. This is a very small
amount. NPR and PBS combined, got $445 million, about
0.014 14% of that. That's the federal government. But how much
is it of their budget?
Know what's their budget is 400 million total. They're there
with that?
Well, that's that's what PBS and NPR received combined. I know,
for NPR. It's like 2%. It's a very small amount of money for
PBS
and more than a little workout, hey, well,
we'll get an answer to that. So she's in any hearing. And I just
wanted to play this because she's really quite interesting,
how she just lies about where their money comes from. And I
ended let's just Okay, let's say 17%. That's not the end of the
world. Oh, and this, of course, is a setup as usual to get it on
the record to ask a question of which the answer is already
known and rehearsed?
Understand this, so they get forward funding years in
advance, and she's going to explain how that works with
television. But she says it's very important because then it
doesn't matter who's in. Because I guess because the money has
already been given to them. So they can't change their
programming or say we're not going to fund it for this. Is
that what she's saying?
Yes, what she's implying. Okay.
Well, I think if you get anything from the government,
you can get all kinds of hassle. It may not be immediately but a
year down the road. It could happen if people didn't like
what you did with their Ford funding. I don't understand why
she thinks that's, that's how it works. Oh, here it is. I'm
sorry. PBS gets 15% of his budget from the government. NPR.
2%. I was right. Okay.
Well, it was the right about the 15% number I got I guess it was
stuck in my brain. Yeah. percent,
NPR, NPR. 2%. This is PBS 15%. It's called this is what's
great. So what she's actually describing here, and I think we
should talk about it before I let her explain is how
commercial television works. Because they're just commercial.
She's full of crap. They have ads, and and then ads pay for a
lot. Then it can also be Archer Daniels Midland, but they have
actual commercial breaks. What she's trying to say is all she's
hiding it is this is how commercial television works. You
got to invest in your pilot, you got to take it to the upfront,
you got to show it to the affiliates. They decide if they
want to get it. They take that pilot back home and they go to
their local advertisers and say will you advertise on this
program? Can we get the money? Okay, good. Now order 10
episodes. It's a it's a an abstraction of how it works, but
that's how it works. So the reason why she says we need our
funding upfront is not because the government that doesn't have
control is because you're participating in the commercial
upfront system. Raise the money you mean sell ads you liar raise
the money
Oh crap. It was only 15% on PBS. It's not such. It's it's it's
not important. Yes, ads, ads, ads, whatever you all
about ads, whatever you want to call it something that we ads
that we do not have on this particular program.
I'm going to show my move by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
people saying they can't hear the clips. I can hear you the
clips. I can hear the clips.
Got it? Oh, no, you wouldn't be able to hear him on the stream.
And why would they say it now? This is like the show's almost
over? I don't know.
All right. It doesn't matter.
It would have said something sooner. Yeah, it's very
interesting. Couple of things I want to bring up before I start
with Anonymous is $100 donation from Maidstone Kent in the UK
today to talk to donors from the UK.
As well, you know, we're helping them with their mental hygiene
on Brexit and other issues of European nature.
So a couple of things. One, if you're going to do the pop money
thing, try to do it through a credit union or some mechanism.
And if you're gonna just do it straight to the show, you cannot
send it to John at the vorak.org I had one coming out I sent you
all this money, John dvorak.org. And I said the pop money I get
an email. Okay, yeah, so one go through a rigmarole to get it to
it. Now I'm intermingling my personal, very bad idea.
Company.
That's how you can audit trouble with the IRS. That's how we get
audited. Exactly. So don't and and I'm gonna have to, you know,
bring a lawsuit against you. You're stealing our money?
Yeah. Yeah, it's no agenda. Worked out. org is one you can
use, but I would recommend going through credit union and then
going straight to the bank with it. I have all the information
on the bank, just send me a note and I'll tell you where it is.
It's on the available.
Page ends in dot htm
actually gets rethinks. Now. The second one is I think I'm close
to knighthood. How much do I owe you kind of thing? We don't know
this. This is we said this on the show a million times. I'm
gonna say it again. I don't want to be angry about it. But do
your own accounting. Just do it and save you can be wrong by
five bucks or 10. Or, I mean, you don't have to be perfectly
accurate. Most people are doesn't really take that much to
do you see the
last email from Eric the show? And he said, Oh, he said, I'm
gonna set it up. So people can you know, it'll automatically
tell them like, Oh, God.
Well, he had it before, but he was actually running it through
contact Avenue. And it doesn't work. Because we get checked.
Sometimes people use various methodology, different email
addresses
different names.
And the idea is you can do it, you can just keep track, and
then you can keep an eye on your own account. It's not really
that you can do it people, you can do it. And I thought it was
magnanimous to do it that way. Because it's on the honor
system. Yeah. Now the other one is, we do have a method of what
who gets to say what, you know, in other words, if you're, if
you send in $100, and then you have a million clip requests.
Yeah. $200 is where we started doing that we used to do in the
show, when the show first began, and probably for the first
couple of years, we would read all the notes. Yeah. And do all
the jingle requests and do everything. Yeah, right down to
50 bucks, where it becomes anonymous after that, or below
that. And we used to do that. And then the show started
dragging, because everybody was some people were writing the
Warren Piece by Tolstoy would be in the note for the $52
donation. And then everybody was asking for a million clips,
because it was fun. It's fun to do. And, yeah, we'll do a D
douching, or some call outs and things like that. But generally
speaking, we don't do all these requests, because everybody was
turning off to it because it was dragging the show. It was too
much blathered from, you know, just man, the way I see it, you
know, people were writing lectures and reading, every, you
know, every word of it. And it became a nuisance, and it became
ridiculous, and so we had to stop it. And so 200 bucks was
the cutoff point. So at 200 bucks, Bill, maybe you
should have maybe you should add that to the donation page. I
don't know if it's on there or not.
I think it is on there. If not, I will add a note. Okay,
well, you can also remove the donation page. You can also
remove the no agenda stickers.com link which Still
links to the Chinese porn.
Yeah, I get one day he may Yeah, if you see that he says no
agenda stickers.com Don't click on it so to me, these are just
little little housekeeping. I wanted to get out of the way.
Because people I guess we don't talk about it enough. And so
we're talking about Alright, so let's now do the list of people
that wellwishers it's not really a big list because it was Cinco
Demayo day nobody really cared about that, ya know?

state. And that means if you live together as a married
couple for more than six months then in the eyes ago in the in
the eyes of the law you're married Excellent. I've always
want to get my hands on her money
Texas isn't as bad you just places like Georgia when you get
married there I mean I know guys have been married and divorced
in Georgia and they they claim that's the worst that place
really? Yeah.
And they say women with everything they say women get a
raw
deal. You get a raw deal in Georgia.
The guys or women
Hello? Yes guys
or men, girls guys or girls who get a raw deal in Georgia.
Guys get a raw deal on Georgia okay it's very reverse
misogynistic I guess I don't know what you'd call them.
Well anyway, two years the keeper nine we never had a fight
and
ever had a fight. There's a fight I'm thinking murder
suicide.
We're gonna celebrate with a bathtub and candles.
Oh, yeah. Don't forget some soft music. Like Luther Vandross,
Luther
Vandross. Yes it's some dimmed lighting I John you know all
about it a little bit of ranch hand we're good to go.
The purple lighting
got a special karma request from Sir Jim Blanchard Sir Call of
the left turn at all at Albuquerque. He says I'm in
Syria and we of course we always stopped for nights as you know,
series needed some jobs calm I'm sending a check for 9999 Hoping
that using this magic number three times over we'll put an
especially good spin on it as I was laid off seven months ago,
ran out my unemployment cashed in my 401 K to move to FEMA
Region number eight Boulder Colorado from FEMA Region number
six Albuquerque New Mexico to look for better work. While I'm
finding better opportunities the process of finding a job using
the internet sucks and I'm getting passed over a lot in the
past three months I've only gotten four actual interviews
the last interview I had last week went very well I need some
jobs karma followed by little girl yay. To seal the deal. I
think that we should probably do that before we do our knighting
John because that's important.
Here we go jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs you've
got karma
All right. That should seal the deal. Here we go. All right,
John one knighting today if you can. The medium blade Okay,
that'll that'll do it for today's show. Let me see Brian
Rosa. Hello, sir. Could you please step on up to the podium
next to the lectern here as you are about to be inducted into
that very exclusive club. It is the no agenda and nights at the
roundtable. The Knights in the Dames and I am very proud to
pronounce the K v Sir Brian have the flow. Yes for you. We have
hookers and blow red boys and Chardonnay. We got Nicaraguan
cigars rolled in Panama Papers, whiskey and bacon sock and
skanks, Lagos and legwarmers meeting Water garlic and
broccoli, espresso and hemp milk fried bread and Fembot through
beer and pepperoni pizza, breast milk and Pavlin ginger ale and
gerbil sparkling cybernet sports bong hits and bourbon vodka,
vanilla, geishas and Sockeye and of course the ever effervescent
mutton and Mead. And head on over to Noah.
Take a breath in the middle of that. No,
I don't. I should. Why?
Because it just like astonishing. It's all one
breath. Extremely long when you only have one night he gets he
gets the most.
Well the music is only so long. Hence that New York Times New
York Times in an opinion piece titled Why is Asian salad still
on the menu? And this is Asia Asian salad. Asian salad. Why is
the opinion piece
is an op ed op in New York Times that says what and this is a
serious op ed? Yes.
I shall read to you. This is Bonnie Sue says she's Asian
argues that Asian salad reeks of cultural appropriation by racist
Westerners. Her rant was triggered by the Asian Emperor
salad listed on the menu at some San Francisco joint where she
was, quote, I tried to identify exactly what that was, she
wrote. I made a half hearted joke to my husband about just
which Asian Emperor the salad was honoring. I thought about
his grand imposition in precision, which irritated me as
a Chinese American and I wondered who cooked up this
thing? Because it's racist. This is how far we're going. We're
taking this to the max.
Yep, that's pretty close to it. Why would the New York Times run
such a vapid piece for op eds? Can't they find anything that's
actually meaningful? Well, they ran out of that some buddy
bitching about cultural appropriation right use the word
Asian they ran out of Samantha Bee rants but and by the way,
there's no I know that the I've never had a salad and any
porridge anywhere in Asia ever.
What you mean salad mix greens with ginger dressing is not
really a Japanese thing.
I have never had it.
But that pales in comparison to this document that I received.
And this is a document describing gender inclusive
terms for healthcare workers health care workers that bedside
manner you know, they they really have to have to do things
right by the
way is that is that Chinese woman? Does she wear Western
garb? Isn't that cultural appropriation? Absolutely.
Asians wear traditional Asian clothing.
Well, she's Chinese American, so she's only half triggered.
Anyway, go on. I'm sorry. All right. So these I have a few cuz
I know you love them. gender inclusive terms for pregnancy,
birth and sexual health. This is what the Healthcare Workers of
America are being recommended to use and what not to use more
importantly, so they have two columns on this gendered terms
and a gender or gender inclusive terms a gender Jesus isn't our
word, a gender?
A gender? Wow. All right,
so I'm going to give you a gender term and then you're
going to tell me what's wrong with it.
wrong with it? Yeah. So so these are the these are the no sides,
you get a column is wrong.
Right, wrong column. So these are things that healthcare
workers would say to patients who could be healthcare worker
at home or in the hospital could be a nurse. I'm gonna tell you
why they're wrong. All right. Here, okay, this this statement?
How's mom feeling today? Why is that wrong? You know, they the
the nurses come in, Hey, how's mom feeling today with a new
mother? Right new mother? Hey, how's mom feeling today? This is
wrong.
That's wrong. That's got to be wrong for a number of reasons.
One, its cultural appropriation. To its diminutive. It should be
mother, if anything, and how do you know? It's I don't know what
else I bet it's baffling to me that someone would come in there
and say How's mom doing today? And that would be wrong.
It should only be Hello name. How are you feeling today? You
should not use the word mom.
Okay, next,
I need dad to step out of the room for the epidural.
Same thing. No.
Who is the parent that will be giving birth is what that means.
Okay, next. I'm trying to get the hang of it but I'm having
trouble. It's difficult.
After birth, you will be moved to the mother and baby unit when
I don't have to explain that one, right?
No, they should move them to the execution unit
to the cast chamber.
Who is the father of the child? say these things?
You can't say that's that's just bad you can't do. That's
just bad.
Yeah, because you got you got a father there and mom there
apparently but it could be an uncle that she's visiting. It
could be the mother, the dad in law. You don't know that.
There's that that's the dad's you have? Presumptuous
here's how you have to ask. Please specify on the birth
certificate or pre birth order who is the gestational parent?
Oh, god. Wow. Yeah.
Here we go. Will your husband be here for the ultrasound?
wrong this is well this is very wrong. Will airy wrong. Will any
you don't know that they're married? Here's how
you're supposed to say it. Will any CO parents be present for
prenatal office visits? You can't ever say ultrasound
apparently. Excellent. Is your wife the caregiver? Oh, I don't
even have to explain what's wrong with that.
Oh, many assumptions. Oh, here
is your daughter sleeping? Well?
Is your daughter sleeping? Well, maybe. Maybe it's because you
can see it as projecting because there may be a second daughter
that's at home. And you don't know whether she's sleeping or
not. Now you should
just say congratulations you birth a beautiful baby. That's
all you should say.
You don't want to assume gender
or assume that yes or assume that that it is z is not
sleeping. Well. We need a postnatal assessment on baby
boys so and so.
The use of the word boy can do that.
Their infant needs to be taken to the NICU for vitals to watch
the NICU that's the natal intensive care unit
I have no idea why that would be wrong yeah it's got no mention
of gender it's got no mention of anything what what you're
supposed to say instead?
You're supposed to talk about the infant not about the baby
boy and instead of
here baby boy there we go. I must have Yeah, it's heard. You
can't assume boy you can't do that's out. We don't want boys
are you still on maternity leave cute maternity clothes. You say
any of that you should be shot. That's just completely wrong.
Yeah, I agree. The same with where's the maternity unit you
can't say maternity unit because maternity or specific. So
basically, we all should just be like Barbies with mounds instead
of genitals.
Yeah, no genitals. No discussion of say How
was your mount Dora? My mouth is pretty good.
Yeah, the mount? Well, that's great. That'll be that'll be
flying flying high in California. Yes, you know,
you know it will be.
Now I've got a couple of notes. I want to read and get out of
the way we have you doing this thing with words, people coming
up with old phrases and stuff. We gotta get great collection. I
wanna Well, hold
on, hold on. Yeah, and we do have a jingle for us.
From the phrase from
the chase, everybody, John C. Dvorak. We're the C stands for
Shay's.
Kevin writes in one of our producers, he says my wife's
uncle who is gay, will refer to another gay man as quote, a
friend of Dorothy
of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
I actually, I'm guessing that this was apparently a code used
between homosexual men when referring to a third person. He
now uses it ironically. I don't know ironically. I don't know
how he uses it. Ironically, unless he just referring to
everybody. As a friend to door they Yeah, friended or there.
Like it? Well, I've heard similar friend of Dorothy
and that's ever heard that that's it. But that's today's
that is the phrase surrounded by anybody has a source code words.
I think that'd be really good in this collection. Another note
came in when I was this, isn't it? Just an interesting note
that came in on the fourth of March, actually, when I was in
the service. 10 years ago, we shipped our whole unit to Iraq
via Russian merchant ships. Yes, he says that most of the
deployments are on Russian ships. Yeah, we used to be
buddies. Yeah, we used to be buddies what happened?
Putin happened. Oh, Dan. Well, now that you now that you bring
it up and let me I have a couple of Putin Russia things
A
Oh, this was actually quite interesting. This is Vladimir
Putin, the President of Russia. And he is here to talking about
how they never interfere with other countries politics. Yeah,
sure. But what was funny about it? Is their question questions
between I think, some journalists and someone else
pipes in like a TV host. And the the the translator does all does
all those people in the same voice, and it really fast. So
it's like what is like a conversation that should never
take place? I think that's because she's keeping up with
the speed of the Russian Russian speak pretty rapidly. If this is
a true translation, but it sounds like
we never interfere in other countries politics in them, but
what she could do, we really want nobody to meddle in our
internal affairs. In our politics. Unfortunately, we see
the opposite happened for years. For years, we have seen attempts
to influence political processes in Russia, through the so called
NGOs and directly realizing the futility of such efforts. It has
never occurred to us to interfere in other countries
internal affairs. So that's number one. Number two, you
mentioned the examples. The United States but nobody has
been able to prove this. These are just rumors. You just get
used for internal political struggle in the US is very
clear, very clear. We don't do that. Of course you do.
Everybody doesn't wear the masters. We are the phone finger
number you are the best meanwhile, and we
have breaking news now coming into the Cairo seven newsroom.
The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin and
President Donald Trump have agreed to try to schedule a
meeting in Germany this July. The to finish up a phone call
just minutes ago. The Kremlin also says they agreed to work
together for diplomatic progress on North Korea, and to step up
us Russian diplomatic efforts on Syria.
Blue and you don't know where this fake news Why don't you get
joke good?
Now there are a couple things we might want to discuss and or
listen to regarding commies. Testimony?
Yeah, the only clip I have, you can take it or leave it? Because
I'm sure you watch more than I did. Yeah, but I have.
Unfortunately, my clip is four minutes long. It is the is the
entire Comey explanation for what happened from beginning to
telling Feinstein to shut up so we can finish to end. And it's I
think it's it takes care of everything every question you
have about this whole event, and how he feels about none of the
subs cut out, you know, like, Oh, I was sick to my stomach,
and all that kind of stuff.
I think this is what no agenda is for. This is the things that
we can do, that mainstream corporate media can't do is just
take the time to listen to something he says not with now.
We listened to things as long earlier in the show. So it's
okay.
So this would be the clip, I think is the definitive clip of
his TED. I mean, he did talked about a million things. I'm sure
you have little clips of it. But this is the most important clip
in context,
October 27, the investigative team that had finished the
investigation in July focused on Secretary Clinton's emails asked
to meet with me. So I met with him that morning, late morning
in my conference room. And they laid out for me what they could
see from the metadata on this fella anthony Weiner's laptop
that had been seized. In an unrelated case, what they could
see from the metadata was that there were 1000s of Secretary
Clinton's emails on that device, including what they thought
might be the missing emails from her first three months as
Secretary of State. We never found any emails from her first
three months. She was using a Verizon BlackBerry then and
that's obviously very important. Because if there was evidence
that she was acting with bad intent, that's where it would be
in the first month there.
Wow, that's interesting. I've just realized, because it
interesting, a Blackberry definitely has a server
component. It's tied down to it. You know, the BlackBerry itself
needs the server. Yep. Unless you may have configured an IMAP
email, but I don't think that happened. Maybe, you know, maybe
they didn't use a Blackberry server. But clearly, that's,
that's something interesting that no longer comes.
Can I just finish my answer, Senator? Yeah, please. So they
came in and said, We can see 1000s of emails from the Clinton
email domain, including many, many, many from the Verizon
Clinton domain, Blackberry domain. They said we think we
got to get
Ah, so what he's saying there is that she was using a Blackberry
on Verizon, which means there is most definitely there was a copy
somewhere. Because yeah, it's just how it works
Clinton domain, Blackberry domain, they said, We think we
got to get a search warrant to go get these and the Department
of Justice agreed we had to go get a search warrant. So I
agreed, I authorized them to seek a search warrant. And then
I faced a choice. And I've lived my entire career by the
tradition, that if you can possibly avoid it, you avoid any
action in the run up to an election that might have an
impact, whether it's a dog catcher election of President of
the United States, but
dog catchers are elected.
I bet you there is a dog catcher election somewhere,
I'm running, I'm running for it. You just asked Jay, if she wants
to run for dog catcher.
Whether it's a dog catcher election of President of the
United States, but I sat there that morning, and I could not
see a door labeled no action here. I can see two doors. And
they were both actions. One was labeled speak, the other was
labeled conceal. Because here's how I thought about it. I'm not
trying to speak or conceal. I like that. I talk to you into
this. But I want you to know my thinking. Having repeatedly told
this Congress, we are done and there's nothing there. There's
no case there. There's no case there to restart in a hugely
significant way, potentially finding the emails that would
reflect on her intent from the beginning, and not speak about
it would require an act of concealment, in my view, so I
stared at speak and conceal speak would be really bad.
There's an election in 11 days, Lordy, that would be really bad.
Did he just say, lordy? Yeah, that's cultural appropriation of
the black American law today.
And not speak about it would require an act of concealment,
in my view, so I stared at speak and conceal speak would be
really bad. There's an election in 11 days, Lordy, that would be
really bad. Concealing, in my view, would be catastrophic, not
just to the FBI, but well beyond. And honestly, as between
really bad and catastrophic. I said to my team, we're gonna
walk into the world of really bad, I've got to tell Congress,
that we're restarting this not in some frivolous way, in a
hugely significant way. And the team also told me, We cannot
finish this work before the election. And then they worked
night after night after night, and they found 1000s of new
emails, they found classified information on Anthony Weiner,
somehow, her emails are being forwarded to Anthony Wiener,
including classified information by her assistant whom are
evident. And so they found 1000s of new emails, and then call me
the Saturday night before the election and said thanks to the
wizardry of our technology, the wizardry of our technology,
right there. That's the money shot. The wizardry of our
technology, please. Saturday
night before the election, and Ted grip said, thanks to the
wizardry of our technology, we've only had a Unix joke. Good
one, glad you like found 1000s of new emails, and then call me
the Saturday night before the election and said thanks to the
wizardry of our technology. We've only had to personally
read 6000 We think we can finish tomorrow morning Sunday. And so
I met with them. And they said we found a lot of new stuff. We
did not find anything that changes our view of her intent.
So we're in the same place we were in July. It hasn't changed
our view. And I asked him lots of questions. And I said, Okay,
if that's where you are, then I also have to tell Congress that
we're done. Look, this was terrible. It makes me mildly
nauseous to think that we might have had some impact on the
election.
Now that was an interest. I know this is the quote that everyone
was playing. But the choice of words is interesting, mildly
nauseous. Yeah. So that's microaggression. A little bit.
I'm not violently ill because I feel horrible that this might
have happened because of me. No, I just feel mildly nauseous
because Tillery that's how I hear it or that I think that's
a reasonable interpretation of how terrible
it makes me mildly nauseous to think that we might have had
some impact on the election. But honestly, it wouldn't change the
decision. Everybody who disagrees with me has to come
back to October 28 with me and stare at this and tell me what
you would do. Would you speak or would you conceal, and I could
be wrong. But we honestly made a decision between those two
choices that even in hindsight, and this has been one of the
world's most painful experiences, I would make the
same decision. I would not conceal that on October 28 from
the Congress. And I sent the letter to Congress, by the way
people forget this. I didn't make a public announcement. I
sent a private letter to the chairs in the ranking of the
oversight committees to know what's the distinction without a
difference in the world of leaks. But it is it was very
important that I tell them instead of concealing and
reasonable people can disagree, but that's the reason I made
that choice. And it was a hard choice. I still believe in
retrospect the right choice as painful as this has been.
Speak or conceal. That's interesting by itself. The
opposite of speak is not can seal No, that was his choice
interesting term which he repeated at nauseam, speak, seal
save or create to be so along those lines well so there's one
I only have one clip then I'll add to this because there was a
follow up question about the emails from then when we of
course guessed this correctly we knew exactly what was happening
and what wasn't guess the guy Of course I know what happened
like, hey put this on your laptops and print it out or keep
it or whatever so I can transfer it somewhere else is
this not a shocker? Well, there's
a number of things wrong with this. You know, if you're
working with classified information, you should know
that that's not okay. And Comey gives her a pass but then he
says something else interesting to one of our producers caught
was their
classified information on former congressman wieners computer.
Yes. Who sent it to him?
His then spouse whom avatar and
then spouse as far as I know, they're still married.
I think they are still married. Yeah, me. Yeah.
She announced she was gonna get a divorce and then they didn't.
You might be right. But I think I went to verify this at the
book of knowledge level.
Okay. Do you verify and I'll continue his very bad idea of
course for them to get divorced, because then he can be compelled
to testify against her. So she should hang on to that ring.
Yeah, cuz he's nuts. He's nuts. Who knows what he'll do? I would
love to see it because that will be more fireworks for the show
is then spouse, Huma Avataan, appears to have had a regular
practice of forwarding emails to him. For him, I think to print
out for her. So Janka vorst.
You it? Well, who says
the book of knowledge? Yeah. What was your marriage to 2016?
Well, let me finish call me.
Emails to him. For him, I think to print out for her. So she
could then deliver them to the Secretary of State.
did Congress former congressman wiener read the classified
material?
I don't? I don't think so i think is descriptive. I don't
think we've been able to interview him because he has
pending criminal problems of other sorts. But my
understanding is that his role would be to print them out as a
matter of convenience.
If he didn't read them, would he have committed a crime?
Potentially,
when his spouse had committed a crime?
Again, potentially it would depend upon number of things.
Is there an investigation with respect to the two of them?
There was it is we completed it?
Why did you conclude neither of them committed a crime?
Because with respect to Ms. Aberdeen in particular, we we
didn't have any indication that she had a sense that what she
was doing was in violation of the law couldn't prove any sort
of criminal intent.
That's pretty liberal. That's pretty liberal on his end
credibly liberal and the intent is not the issue when it comes
to classified documents. It's like that poor that poor schlub
in the Navy who took a picture of himself a selfie inside his
submarine didn't have any intent to spy on a navy and they threw
him in the slammer. Yeah. Now here it says in August 2016,
habitant, and it now says she was separating from wiener do it
is continued sexting that doesn't say in the text, it
doesn't say they're actually divorced. It just shows the time
of being married. Maybe you're right, I think you're probably
right. I was
looking through the clips myself. And I recall that first
it was okay, we're going to we're going to divorce and then
later I was like, now we're gonna do we're gonna we're gonna
try, we're gonna keep it together, or whatever. But
that's Hillary. I mean, it was like, Yeah. You think Bill and
Hillary would ever get divorced? No, for the same reasons. Of
course, they don't trust each other. No. I got some signs of
the pending Armageddon. Go. Yeah. And this was sent to us by
producer who clipped and this is it, you really shouldn't be your
beat. Depression signs in Mountain View, California. No,
yes, Mountain View, California. This is of course, is the center
of Silicon Valley. And this is mainly about rents, but I just
thought it was interesting. We have a couple of a couple of
clips here. We can listen to how they how bad things really are,
as the apocalypse is upon us.
Mountain View, California is home to hundreds of technology
firms from NASA's super computing division to tech giant
Google, which alone employs 20,000 People here. The city's
unemployment rate is two and a half percent, half the national
average and the median household income tops $100,000 a year. But
there are parallels to this prosperity says Mountain View
Mayor pet show water.
So many people have come here that their rents just because of
supply and demand have have gone through the roof.
The median rent for an apartment or house is 4390 a month, a 54%.
Jump since 2012.
It doesn't matter whether you make, you know you make $100,000
or not. You You haven't planned for a 54% rent increase, then
it's caused a lot of people to be displaced.
A small but growing number of the city's 80,000 residents are
now living in recreational vehicles, vans and cars like
these on the street next to the park.
This is my own one. And I'm happy here.
So this is what's happening to the citizens who are not in the
in the wizardry of technology.
For other displaced residents who choose to stay in Mountain
View. Even an RV is too expensive. Oh, twin Goldstein
makes $30,000 a year as a pathology lab technician. But he
lived in this rented minivan for two months. It was retrofitted
with a mattress and window curtains
that's what I call it a retrofit. Hey, baby wanna check
out my minivan? I got a retrofitted with a mattress. And
Curtis
do a lot of these guys at Google, for example. They live.
And they're allowed to do this because Google owns the land.
They have these RVs and these vans and they park them in the
in the parking lot permanently like little housing. Really
areas. Yes. And then says Google has a gym and all these
amenities that they parked there. And then they go into the
Google gym and workout a little bit and they use the shower and
shave and freshen up inside the Google office. I think the
company encourages this. Oh, you're always on site, you know,
you might as well you got nothing else to do. You're not
going to enjoy yourself in the in the van. So you're just gonna
sit at the office and work all night and take part in the
community of Google. It's very,
it's very analogous to my visit to Bonaire once in Bonaire. They
still have standing sorry. Where's berneray? Bonaire is the
Dutch Antilles it's right off the coast of Venezuela. Yeah.
Lex live there oil has a house there. I've done the show from
there kind of was horrible internet if you recall. Bonaire
still has standing on the left in place as a monument now the
slave huts which are very very small I mean, he is there by for
maybe four and a half feet high but they had six
cars like the clue do there you got
a clue do exactly what No. The clue do is actually about twice
the size of one of those huts. Not in height but in length.
That's what it is. It's slavery. Go live there and you little
hot. Be ready for when I call Yeah. Yeah. And enjoy it.
Get your cell phone. It was retrofitted with a mattress and
window curtains. He says it was cheaper and had more privacy
than the boarding house where he'd lived before.
$200 a week for a bunk bed in a room with five other bunk beds.
Wow.
He saved money but it wasn't easy.
I really had to sit down and be honest with myself and say Could
I get up every day and take the necessary you know discipline to
not eat after a certain hour you know make sure that I charge my
devices every evening. Get up in time to if I need to move the
van because of parking tickets subsequent do that on top of the
everyday rigors of you know, getting dressed, presentable for
my employment, the rigor
rigorous keep themselves clean and presentable for $35 a month,
Goldstein joined a 24 hour gym with showers.
It's usually cold in the evening times when I go to the gym or
when I come in. So you know I keep my sweaters and this is my
laundry which I'll take to the laundromat once a week.
This is we're in depression already. John, this is this and
at Google you have you have the gyms you don't need that that
day. That huge, expensive 35 bucks a month which seems
awfully low to me. And they have free food they have these
cafeterias is five or six, seven of them and which are dynamite.
I've eaten every one of them. And they're just fantastic. And
they have you know, you get breakfast lunch and dinner I
guess you can get dinner. And you so you don't even have to
worry. So you don't need a kitchen. Nice if you're parked
in the lot journey and you're living in the van and you're
working at Google and you shower there and you eat there and you
get you do the events there. They have a lot of events. Yeah.
And you Yeah, it's dynamite. Well
then, this whole culture, this whole Silicon Valley culture and
this is I have another report here was that from the Denver
Post, the hipsters. They eat such a eclectic foods and have
big, big fads that is driving up the cost of these cars. Adding
to the to this article. Oh yeah, it's driving the cost of
avocado. Avocado was not surprised me and unicorn toast.
This is a new one this is apparently with the kids are
eaten. Unicorn Coast toast features bread, topped with
cream cheese and various food colors or superfood powders
swirled in.
Oh my god. That must be delicious.
Cream cheese prices have risen 31% Over the past year.
No, no cream cheese was suddenly a big thing.
Well, we identified toast as another depression.
Oh yes, toast. Totally toast.
So that is the unicorn toast last piece here from PBS.
A lot of people are blaming the high cost of housing on the tech
companies and on the tech
workers. Yeah, you have all these high paid workers coming
into the area and people are landlords and they're they can
charge more for rent. Yeah, I mean, it ends up becoming
totally unsustainable and intractable for people who don't
have the sort of resources that these tech workers have. So I
think they're perfectly justified in blaming us.
As the largest employer in Mountain View. Google recognizes
its high salaries have contributed to an inflated
housing market. Rebecca, Prozac is a public policy manager at
the company's San Francisco office.
Obviously our footprint creates pressure creates pressure on
housing and transportation. But that pressure isn't just tack.
It's not just Google. It is all the industries that are creating
the economy of the Bay Area.
So how will that end?
It ends it's a cycle. It's we've had this before we've seen it
before it happened with the CD ROM phenomenon and happened in
the.com has happened before that happens and it'll collapse again
but it's still kind of a gold rush mentality out here and it
just comes in it just it cycles. It goes through a cycle it
started I guess in 1849 and it just keeps doing it with the
gold
rush. Yeah.
I have a offbeat clip. Alright. This was I just want this is
almost an ask Adam. Almost. It's almost a jingle almost ask Adam.
This is a I got this from the off the television it is a
infomercial. For a stupid vacuum cup that you can buy a vacuum
cup you know it's like a mug that's got a vacuum in it so
it's keeps things warm or hot or cold. And it's got a little
gotcha in here. I want you to explain it to me this is a Rocky
Mountain tumbler.
Okay,
Rocky Mountain tumbler keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24
hours and hot drinks hotter for up to 12 hours Order now and get
the Rocky Mountain tumbler for just 1999 and will even give you
free shipping. Plus every order today gets a second Rocky
Mountain tumbler free just pay a separate fee.
Wait a minute, just pay a separate fee.
Now how is something free if you have to pay a separate fee
things already free so we know shipping is free so they can't
be extra shipping. So it's free if you pay a separate fee. Where
is the FTC? This is an out and out scam they said it was
free that is a scam. Just pay for well that's like it's free
as long as you pay shipping and handling. Yes but this has
already got free shipping. Wow. It's a scam. I tell you it's the
fee it's a small fee. So it must be the handling fee there I'm
sure there was little asterix and asked tick.
Three I have three clips. Okay, three clips
for you know in other words first one is for both of us a
warning from the Transportation Security Administration and
is half an hour and that is new concerns of terrorist attacks
here at home. According to an NBC News report, the
Transportation Security Administration is warning truck
rental agencies to remain vigilant protecting their
vehicles from theft. The message was reportedly sent to law
enforcement agencies across the country on Tuesday this week.
The stark warning comes after a spree of truck ramming assaults
in Europe and in Israel, including last year's Bastille
Day terror attack that killed 87 People in Nice.
Outstanding. You go it's coming here. People coming here. Truck
killings. Just wait for
it. Truck killings. Yeah.
I have two clips about the Affordable the American Health
Care Act. I'm sorry, I'm even I get it confused. The American
Trumpcare This is called that. Apparently, a new version is
going to be introduced today. I have some thoughts about Of
course I haven't seen it. So let's go. Oh, well. I but I
think it's an it's a fiasco for a reason. Congressman Connolly
kind of alluded to it in a roundabout way in this clip.
When you
say that you see if this The current effort fails. And you
see a fallback to a single payer system who pushes that as this
is,
I would say, if they effect succeed in repealing Obamacare,
then then sooner or later when Democrats come back into power,
our only Fallback is going to be a single payer system. We tried
this. We tried to work with the insurance companies, we tried to
make sure it was predicated on the private insurance system.
And that did not work.
And so the way I read that is, all of this is intended to fail
and come around to a single payer system. And I think that's
probably what the intent is. I think that's what Trump's Well,
you know, this would make nothing but sense of course, I'm
an advocate of single parent I noticed horror was
finally you know, I'm around to I think, not that I think it's
the right, no, you don't like it, but you should see that
there's the only way to go right now. It's the only way to go.
Yeah,
we've been painted your bed, everything's been. Ephraim has
been painted into a corner. And now you're stuck with this what
which is already a proven system is Medicare, Medicare for
everybody. And which is universal Medicare, a lot of you
have a lot of names for it. It works. It has it, it will stop
some of the problems that we're seeing. I would have to say if
this was a giant scheme, because we know that Trump originally
was a single payer guy, this was brought up in the early
campaigning, when he was saying, Well, I used never used to be a
conservative. In fact, he was a big believer, believer in single
payer, I remember this very clearly. And you can look it up,
I'm sure you can find documents that say this. And the whole
thing may be a giant scam, because we really can't bring
ourselves because of the of the nasty way the Conservatives
handle the health care thing. And in a nutshell, it goes like
this, oh, well, if you can't manage to buy insurance, or get
on one of these programs, and you get sick, to why is it
taxpayers picking this up, you should be dying in the street,
bleeding and dying in the street, you scum, which is to
boil it down is what the conservative argument is, and
it's not a pleasant argument, but you can't seem to get them
off of it. Oh, we have the best health care in the world. That's
not true. You look at any stats about length of life, how many
babies die and all the rest of it, we're like, down, we're like
in number nine, and something's number 11 We suck. We're not
even close to being at the top of any of this. And all the
crazy, you know, tort law problems that we have where
people, you know, they get a surgery or they get a sponge in
their operation. They don't get it out of there. And then they
sold the person up and then they're sued for millions. The
whole thing is a mess. And the only way out is single payer
it's just the way it is we've painted yourself into a corner,
we've got no other way of going and is never going to help with
the drug deals. These ridiculous jacked up prices for drugs.
That's the That's what's caused all these increases in costs.
John seed for X
dice one eight, it kind of I will go from this to Well, I'm
gonna give you another pet peeve in a moment. But first, Cory
Booker's response to this horrible bill, which is just
beautiful, but just
for the moral urgency of this moment. The Craven bill that I
see coming to vote tomorrow is just cruel, and just wrong to
10s of millions of Americans, Republicans, Democrats,
independents, people who deserve more from a nation this wealthy,
this rich, they deserve better. So screw the politics. This is
about people. This is about what's morally right. This is
about what we stand for. And this is a president who has lied
to people, folks in red states, red counties, who who
passionately want to keep their healthcare who were promised
better health care more access something better than the
Affordable Care Act. Well, this is clearly not just worst, it's
a death knell. I don't need to be melodramatic about this. But
I've seen this when people have to wait to get their health care
till the emergency room. This will cost American lives if it
ever becomes law. This will literally mean death, pain and
suffering to people's families. So I'm not interested in the
politics. This is something that my colleagues people I respect
across the aisle, they just can't support for the for God's
sake for the sake of our country, what we stand for, they
cannot pass this piece of legislation.
And something the President promised, I'm sorry, is
considering that you will be very happy with although I'm not
sure if that works that way in the state of California.
It was very interesting. The truckers came to see me and I
have very good relationships with the truckers. I have one
friend who's a big trucker and he's he's like I said, I've
never seen anything like it. You know what? This is?
As a mother trucker, thank you.
I have one friend who's a mother trucker trucker.
And he's, he's, like I said, I've never seen anything like
it, you know, with the roads, you've heard the story with the
roads infrastructure are being destroyed, and he's gonna stop
buying cheap equipment now. The roads are bitchy. But I had the
truckers come to see me that if we earmark money toward the
highways that they would mind that they would not mind the
tax, you know, guest X or some form of tax. So I haven't I
haven't made a commitment, but they would like it because they
say the roads are in such bad condition. We can't allow that.
Can I
report that you're open to raising the gas tax? Would that
be fair?
The truckers have said that they want me to do something as long
as that money is earmarked to highways you could say that I
had that meeting well it's something that that I would
certainly consider the coop because they've asked me to
consider it.
How do you feel about this you you hate potholes craft is this
old gas tax has always been about this always been earmark,
but then you know new guys come in and just they steal the money
for something else. And so now the gas tax is bullcrap. It's a
bold crap tax. It's just it's just more taxing is nonsense is
crap.
Thank you for deconstructing that. died, did a great job of
deconstructing. And with that, we will wind up today's program.
