I was unaware of this story. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, July 30 2017. This is your award winning get more
nation media assassination episode nine or five one this is
no agenda, reclaiming our time from the elites and coming to
you from the darkest corners of the internet here in the capital
to Goldstar state Austin J Haas and the Claudio in the morning,
Madame Curie,
Reclaiming my time Reclaiming my time, rather than Silicon
Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak. Levin Buzzkill.
I guess you saw it, too, then.
I think everybody saw it. Finish it that hair up her ass. Oh, my
goodness. Now we have to play it. We have to play it. We have
to play. This was this was an outstanding piece of video. I
watched a lot of C span over the past couple of days. And this
was really entertaining. Finally, they're back C span
back on top. They're beating CNN for entertainment.
And probably
we have our Secretary of the Treasury Steve Minuchin. The
Munch got the mooch in the Munch. And this is the mooch,
mooch the Munch Munch. My colleague, my Tourette's
colleague, although he doesn't seem to have it that bad
anymore. Have you noticed?
He? No, I haven't noticed. But
I do. Obviously. I'm
always would be more noticing.
Like, come on, man. Take away Come on. You can do it. How can
you sit there with Maxine Waters yelling at you. Most people
probably only saw a little snippet of this. In fact,
several people even made clips and sent it to me, which is
appreciated. But it you really have to appreciate what Maxine
Waters does here, which is a parliamentary procedure. I've
learned
somebody probably just taught it to her because she's never done
that, at least not that I know, obviously, he's never done this
before. I've never
heard anyone do this. I can. And I've watched a lot of C span.
But there's a couple other extra fun bits in here, which I'd like
to play all in context, Maxine Waters grilling the Munch,
Secretary of the Treasury over his non response, according to
her to a letter that her staff sent, and he has the obligation,
of course to reply to that respond to that in due time he
feels he has and she is just not having any of it.
Given that the Treasury maintains these types of
records, and given your department statements, that the
agency takes responsiveness to congressional requests very
seriously, and is committed to providing useful and appropriate
responses to requests from congressional members. Is there
some reason why I did not get a response to the letter that I
sent?
Because you're a douche
may 23.
So Ranking Member waters, here's Well, let me thank you for your
service to California, being a resident of California, made
everything that you've
done. community there, I want to take my time I've I've also
appreciated the opportunity to meet claiming my time and my
mind, we're doing our claim in mind.
Time belongs to the gentlelady from California.
Now, do you understand what is actually going on here? Where
this Reclaiming my time, but
by kind of doing what it is, is that she's decided on a
parliament, dairy bases be based on some rules? I'm not sure what
that gets us Roberts, I'm not sure what they do. They probably
have their own, that he is talking over her time. And she
wants it back.
Right. But he's answering the questions. And he's also Well,
that's correct. You're right. He's not answering question. And
she actually plays into that in a very interesting way.
Let me just say to you, thank you for your compliment about
how great I am. But I don't want to waste my time on me.
I gotta remember that. Thank you for, for telling you about how
great I am. But I just don't want to waste my time on me. And
how great is she? I think she's kind of sincere in that. Come
on, maybe a little bit, say,
for your compliment about how great I am. But I don't want to
waste my time on me. I want to know about the May 23 letter.
You know about it. Why did you not respond to me and my
colleagues?
I was going to answer that just go straight to
Mr. Chairman. I and I and although it's very weird what
she's doing here, I agree. I think that all of that
pandering, and thank you for your courage and all that we
could do without that it would make the C span bits half the
amount of time they usually take. So I'm not against the
movie she's
creating this could be a model for the future for these other
because I agree that I mean, you listen to that whole thing that
she did. He's she has a limited amount of time. And he takes up
that time. Yeah, I mean, you typically in these round, round,
go rounds. They have like five minutes each. So you get to ask
a question. And he gets to answer you get to ask a question
and that Total time is five minutes, including their
responses. So if the guy is just stalling, yeah, I think this may
be setting a precedent we may be able do. I'm like,
when you read the rules, you acknowledged that I shouldn't be
interrupted, and that I would have
Reclaiming my time. What he failed to tell you. Well,
no agenda. remixes, please pay attention. This is all for you.
I'll shut
up. Because when you're on my time, I can reclaim it. I left
that out. So I'm Reclaiming my time, please. Okay. Well, you
respond to the question of why I did not get a response. Me and
my colleague, and I
also kind of love the way she could you respond to my
question? Like, your mom would talk to you when she's really
pissed. And she knows you're seven? Yes, you're seven. And
you know that, that you've done something wrong, and she knows
it, and they go into that really sweet syrupy, like, I'm gonna
nail you to the wall
to the May 23rd letter.
Well, I was going to tell you my response. Tell me Okay, so,
first of all, okay, let me just say,
Oh, well, listen to these performative 's from them. He
fucked up. That's obvious. Whatever he did, he didn't do
what he was supposed to. And he's looking at his paper going.
Okay, let me get to my response. Let me tell you. Okay, well,
here's what I was going to say. Right. Now. Let me see, first of
all,
okay, let me just say that the Department of Treasury has
cooperated extensively with the Senate Intel Committee, with the
house payment,
time. Time to Sherry, I'm in my time, okay.
The Secretary's time belongs to the gentlelady. From California,
I think this should become a trend in marriages even. Hey,
Reclaiming my time. Okay. I'm Reclaiming my time here.
Perhaps, Mr. Chairman, I don't understand the rules. But I
thought I was allowed to answer questions.
Reclaiming my time, would you please explain the rules and do
not take that away from my time?
Oh, we will give the gentle lady adequate time. And I read the
way
the chairman, you can hear in his voice that he's rolling his
eyes. Oh, yes.
Yeah, he's the agenda. I can assure the gentlelady she'll get
her to
Secretary were statements. Democratic colleagues on how
administration witnesses,
we should have this feature on television, we can just yell
back at your TV, Reclaiming my time
should be treated, not necessarily the way they will be
treated. So the time belongs to the gentlelady from California,
but I assure you, majority members will allow you to answer
the question when it is our time.
Okay. So what I was saying is that we have provided
substantial information. We believe there's significant
overlap. And matter of fact, I would say that we spoke to your
chief Oversight Council yesterday, we had been
responsive, and we are trying to coordinate with you the response
and we've suggested that you get the information through the
other committees, but I would like to emphasize we believe
we've been very restricted
by time. Thank you very much.
She always entertains
No. Waters. 2020.
Oh, man, do you think she's really going to try and do
something like that? That would be fantastic. California feels
won't you keep on one and with me? scumbags. Good old Maxine.
Sorry. Don't mean to be ageist. Good. Maxine. Good old good.
Good on you. Maxine. Yeah, watch. There was a lot of
interesting stuff on C span. C span. P span. Yes.
It was a bunch on the regular news.
Did you just say Yas. Yas. Yas queen. Let's see. I got a couple
of things. There was a some reasonably entertaining stuff
going on at the Farah. That's the foreign agent Registration
Act.
i Yes. That was a good. That was a good one. I watched that one
too.
Did you get any clips? I got a couple clips from that. Where
did you get? Well, let me see. I
started thinking I may have gotten some clips, but it was. I
don't know. I don't have any clips. Okay, but I did enjoy it.
Well, the guy who was on the stand who was most interesting
is William Browder. He's the CEO of hair.
Right okay. Let me explain a couple of things why I had I had
these clips a Mark Levin and did a whole special on this guy. And
I started looking into him and and before we play the clips, I
just want to have I want to put in my two cents worth which is
Ay ay. Ay question. I think some of his generalities are probably
correct, but I question his validity is what would you call
it credibility credibility
based on
him based on the fact that Wall Street douche besides being a
Wall Street she was in he was in Moscow he set up she Up in
Russia to do a lot of investing. And I don't know if he was doing
some tricky dealing or what they kicked him out of the country.
Now Russia has always been
trying, even though it was his lawyer was McGann ski. Yes, I
know. minutes. Magnitsky begins from again Magnin and then it's
Magnitsky I think,
okay. And he, which is the bills named after him? Yes. And there
was a whole bunch of stuff that came out of this. I am very I
personally find this guy to be a little, a little too smarmy for
my taste, but I did watch this and it was very entertaining.
So I got a couple of clips and what to build to kind of non
sequiturs. But all this stuff just kind of came out and the
reason why I got these clips is I didn't see any of this on the
M 5am. I did I saw no report. Yeah, I think Fox had one report
they may have had Browder on but really it wasn't prevalent and
there were some interesting things being said the first one
is about Dana Rohrabacher now he's
gonna interrupt you again the mainstream media did not cover
this at all I agree and and then right wing people are all upset
about it and the mainstream media being so anti Russian
right now just to you know, to humiliate Trump you'd think
they'd cover this you would think so unless the mass and so
I'm I'm convinced that they even the mainstream media also knows
that this guy is not worth covering so I think I can
conclude the mainstream media should be all over the just
because there's no logic to it otherwise
the mainstream media coverage everything and ability Hey,
Reclaiming my time your Dana Rohrabacher, I can use this a
lot trust me this is this is my new one. Dana Rohrabacher. Now
he's Is he a congressman or senator from California? I
believe he is a Democrat and old he's an old hack is what he is,
is he a Democrat and Republicans been around forever, I believe
is a Democrat. He's in California, looking him up as we
speak. I forgot all
well, I so I just like Browder's little offhanded comment about
it after you
contacted the Department of Justice regarding Pharaoh
noncompliance. Have you received any updates from them regarding
the complaint you sent to them in July? And at the time of the
complaint, did you have any reason to believe that any of
the individuals involved had met with any political campaign
people? I have received no updates since since July. And
that we we know for sure that that that part of their campaign
was running around Capitol Hill, one of their biggest the one of
the people that they were able to convince to go along with
them is a member of the House of Representatives from Orange
County, Dana Rohrabacher, yeah, he's a republican they have met
with on a number of occasions and who has been effectively
touting their their, or spreading their propaganda
around the House of Representatives.
See what I heard this like, okay, though, he's slagging
people off. This is obviously also an opportunity for any of
the the senators up on the panel to make any point they want to
and Grassley Grassley went for it. I liked it. I appreciated
it. And it should have come in the form of a question. You sort
of had a shield sitting there ready to answer the question.
You didn't. So yeah, it has no power, but it's still fun to
write to hear.
I think you said this, but let me make sure about Renaissance
capitals connection, if any with the Russian government.
So Renaissance capital is connected to the Russian
government through x FSB employees who are at the senior
level of Renaissance capital.
This is issue is also important to the committee. That same
Russian bank, Renaissance capital, paid President Bill
Clinton 500,000 for June 2010 speech in Moscow. That same
month Uranium One began the application process or Russian
government owned company to acquire US uranium assets. The
review of this takeover was done by the committee of foreign
investments and and Secretary Clinton State Department who was
one of the of the approval authorities Renaissance capital
reportedly signed a buy rating to your rhenium one I love
raises a number of issues
that I didn't know that part I like a lot
that yes, this is the best part of the
guys who paid Bill Clinton before the sign off came for the
uranium assets that they also initiated by rating on the
assets great, very good. But now we go to the main piece that
that really was an interesting a because it was Lindsey Graham,
who I don't know if he was getting the answers he wanted
really, um, you know, we never really know what side Lindsey is
on.
Well, the way you can tell if he's getting the answers he
wants is the way he asked a question. If he's if he starts
the question with, would you agree? Yeah, that's true. That's
true. And then he asks a question and the guy has to
agree to it. That's otherwise he's just just flailing.
So what I understand from this is that the infamous lawyer and
Natalia whatever her name is, who called for the meeting with
Donald Trump Jr. and, you know, the the 20,000 people who are
now in the meeting that she was working for the Russians,
specifically to and we know this because that's what was what,
that's what we know that this is what Trump Jr told us to
overturn Magnitsky Act. But that the same people she was working
for, and I believe we're back to Renaissance capital, they're the
ones who funded the golden shower report. Yes, so So the
what's coming out of this the way I understand it, and we'll
hear Lindsey Graham, and we'll hear Browder speak, is that they
the Russians are actually trying to blackmail Trump through the
same people who the M five M claims. Were trying to collude
with Trump and, and effectively win the election because it's so
easy to do
you believe that fusion GPS should have registered under
FARA because they were acting on the behalf of the Russians?
That's correct. So I just want to absorb that for a moment.
There group that did the dossier on President Trump hired this
British spy, wound up getting it to the FBI, you believe they
were working for the Russians.
And in the spring and summer of 2016. They were receiving money
indirectly, from a senior Russian government official.
Okay. These are the people that were trying to undermine Donald
Trump by showing he had nefarious ties to Russia. Is
that what you're saying?
Well, what I'm saying with 100% certainty is that they were
working to undermine the Magnitsky Act. And the timing of
that
the fusion GPS products, apparently, is they hired a guy
to look into Trump. Yes, right. Correct. And the guy looking
into Trump was trying to tell the world that Trump's
compromised by the Russians and I won't go into graphic detail.
I'll come up with the Genesis. He looked at the report. I have
not looked at it carefully now. Okay, well, that's what's in.
I've not looked at very carefully in the dossier. I just
went to the good parts.
So why is this important? The Russians are behind fusion GPS,
who are going after Trump. This was the Russian lawyers name,
Natalia veselnitskaya. And I just call her an Italian girl or
whatever you want.
You can call it whatever your loss ratio is she
is she working for the Russians? Do?
She's definitely working for the Russians? No question.
So here's the deal in June of last year, allegedly, she is
meeting with Don Jr. And the premise of the meeting was the
Russian government's behind Trump, and you need to meet with
these people. They can help your campaign. And Donald Trump says
I love it. And they met with this lady. Is that the general
idea what happened in June?
that's apparently what was reported happened in June. Yeah.
So she's working for the Russians. And she's trying to
communicate with her oligarch friends, that the Russians are
on Trump's side. We got an email to that effect.
Right? Yes. Is it because this is confusing, and she just
basically a double agent? I mean, what is what is going on?
How about this for an idea? This is all bull crap. Yeah. There
was also this message that he said that the way she spoke to
Donald Trump Jr. was in code. I didn't. didn't click that. Yes,
it was in boy. Yeah. Ben. If he understood the code, he
brightened up, and then he'd speak back in some coded
language. They know they can listen to sanctions on Russia.
Yes. This is all about the sanctions. Yes, the
code was Russians, adoptions. It was the code word
they gave, right. adoptions is a code word, for we got to lessen
the sanctions. And if he knew it, and he should have according
to this, this character Browder if he knew he would have
brightened up and he would have acted differently and probably
had another meeting, and he kept talking about Trump should have
had another meeting. He probably had another meeting, but he
wouldn't have had another meeting. If he doesn't know. He
didn't know heads from tails, which is what I believe
happened. He goes in there dumb, he doesn't know what's going on
and they're throwing code out him and he says, Oh, I don't
know. And then he never has another meeting with it, which
makes more sense of what they're doing with this crap. Browder
guys trying to get at
it. But I'm not sure he I don't know if he's trying to I don't
know what side he's on. I decided, yeah, besides the side
of money to Russia? Yeah, yeah, that's true.
All it is, is he hates Russia to such an extreme. He said at one
point. And then this thing, which I couldn't clip it, I get
to summarize a lot of it. He said, They're liars. everything
they say is a lie. Right? Everything the Russians say is a
lie. And I thought that was interesting, because Jim Rogers,
the famous world investor that's floating all over the place and
keeps
telling us that the world is going to crash soon.
But that's what he always says, yeah, he was just on Max's show.
And they've talked about, you know, how he's on a number of
boards in Russia. He's got big investments in some parts of
lock him up. Well, as it seems to me that he can't do any of
this stuff, because the Russians are all they do all. They never
tell the truth according to Browder ever,
right? Yes. Yeah, that guy has all kinds of dealings with
Russia, and it's fine.
So I have a lot of questions about this. Now, I guess I could
summarize the one basic problem that browser has
one more one more quickie? And then let's summarize this.
Durbin,
can you sort out I'm trying to piece together a few things here
and the steel desk isn't is something I'm trying to
understand as it relates to GPS fusion? Could you put that in
perspective as to their role and what that dossier, why it was
created and what the people who created it hoped to achieve?
I only know about the steel dossier. And the in this this
whole thing from what I've read in the press, and so I have no,
you know, I'm just a bystander in that part of the story. What
I am absolutely familiar with on a firsthand basis is is fusion
GPS and Glenn Simpson's role working on behalf of the Russian
Government to overturn the Magnitsky Act. And, and they
are, I think it's, you know, the steps they took very much
compromise their integrity.
Okay. Again, let's start with the Magnitsky Act. This is
designed to punish certain oligarchs, right, in Russia,
specifically, and by name. And that means you you basically
locked him out of the World Financial, what is it like 30
guys or something are on this list? A lot of guys, I don't
know the number, but it might be up that that high. And the
problem is, it's all for Putin. It's, here's what here's what
Browder's basic thesis is. And I think it's an interesting
possibility. Except I don't see evidence of it, but it's still a
possibility. He says that once Putin got in, he saw that the
power of the oligarchs was getting a little out of control.
And they were making way too much money off of, you know,
stolen Russian assets that were largely given away by Brzezinski
and others, and the Russian mob. And so these guys got very big.
So Putin decided the first thing he did was he grabbed the
richest one. And we know this is a few years back, he grabbed the
richest guy, the guy with that big oil company, the absolute
biggest of the big oligarchs, and threw him in jail, right?
For tax fraud and all kinds of things just boop trumped up
charges, according to everybody. And he put him in a cage in the
in the trial, because apparently, there's some reason
to do this for certain kinds of individuals.
He was on trial in a cage. Yes.
Well, you saw this with it with the Pussy Riot girls there in
the cage to your right, well, so they put him in a cage during
the trial to protect them, I guess, which may be a good
reason if you think about it, but he's in a cage. According
dobrowski, this, this sent a signal out to all the other
oligarchs is that you can be in a cage to at my whim, right?
What was the deal according to broadsky, Putin says that he's
bored. He says Putin got together with each oligarch
individually says I want half of all your money. I want you
wherever you make it. I want half of it. And he claims and
others have claimed as to that Putin is actually the world's
richest man with a minimum of $200 billion stashed away. I
have my doubts about that, but Well, I do too, because even
that guy in Ukraine who built his mansion, which was a palace,
I don't know, what's Putin doing with all this money? Is in a
Swiss bank. Why is it invested in Alaska? I mean, where is this
money? But but apparently Putin has all his money and he's he's
getting half of everything these oligarchs make I think as they
make a lot
I think he has it in Bitcoin.
Well, if you bought low, he's really low. Anyway, so then
that's the whole thesis in the Zen so he sees the Russian
system as a mob system with the top the capo Capo is Putin. And
he's made and he's getting some skim off everything all these
guys make, just so the keeps them out of the cage. Well, and
that's, that's it.
Here's what's interesting. The Magnitsky Magnitsky Act is
Magnitsky Act. Okay, I got it now. It has 17 people on the
list on the list, Natalia Vinogradov over she is on the
list. So this does give credence According to Wikipedia, at
least, to the theory that she was led into the United States
by the State Department, which that would have at that time
would have been, of course, carry. But during the, during
the election cycle, she was led in under a special waiver. And
what good is this Magnitsky Act if people can just come in and
do that, I mean that this is this is what's disturbing and
let unless she's no longer on the list. But I see you're on
Wikipedia. She's still on the list, we could probably go find
it. Find the this whole thing stinks. It does stink and it's
stinks of a setup. I have to say that that theory is starting to
ring a little bit true now.
And we don't know what so we have this guy and people can go
listen to this guys have heard it's very entertaining. But
you're listening to a venue, I guess a hedge fund manager yet
tell deep secrets about the Russian system that are any and
this point, the story about poor Magnitsky, which has been, I
think, done on 60 minutes, and it may be some other shows on
television, the United States that this guy was railroaded,
beat up, and it was just made, his life was made miserable and
he died, right killed, he was killed. And it's just a sad
story. But I don't believe we have to get close to having a
handle on any of it. Maybe Nizza, just the gangster.
Anything's possible. We really don't. Where's
the money? I mean,
if somebody wants to join with it, what's he doing with it?
I mean, yeah, what's she doing with it?
Yeah, this, this then leads into this second special counsel
request that came out of the house. But she saw that I think
it came out maybe Thursday, where, again, a large number of
representatives are asking for a special counsel to investigate.
Hillary Clinton and Russia just gets better and better.
It's it never ends. Oh,
well, yeah, I hope it does end eventually. Because it we need
some wrestling some resolution.
Well, we're not gonna get it. And we could talk a little bit
about the, about the rents previous situation and all this
other stuff that happened, which is very again, I mean, it's not
as though we had a lot of time between the last show and this
one. Yeah. But boom, you got all this action. But I want to just
back up a little bit. And because I was listening to C
span, too, and I have to play some clips that, I think is
maybe some of the best background and we talked about
this we don't we've never heard anything so concise, as as I'm
explaining our situation, the United States and the New World
Order or not the new world order but the world order, which is
have to assume as the old world order. Yes. So Mark Miley, who
is the Chief of Staff for the EU, for the army on the Joint
Chiefs. He is the army guy. Yeah, I've seen this guy looks
like a typical army. blowhards gotta be head square. Oh, he's
got bags. He looks like Rodney Dangerfield. blockhead blockhead
he said blockhead well, by the way, Rohrabacher look at his
picture. Anyway. So this guy never is, you know, whatever.
And again, he comes up he's huffing and puffing and all
this. I had this guy. I had listened to his entire
presentation at the National Press Club, on C span, okay. And
I walked away thinking this guy is the most insightful genius.
It's It's unbelievable how smart he is. And he's stood in front
of the National Press Club and gave me about of, I think was
about 30 minutes. Unreal, may have been rehearsed but it was
no there was no prompter there was no notes, there was nothing
and he just rattled off the way things are in a such a concise
manner. I did a lot of public speaking. I could never
approximator and come closer with this guy was able to do I
was stunned by this guy.
Okay, that's quite an announcement from from you. No
kidding.
So I want to play a couple of things. And this is a little
long, but this is a fascinating take on what is the world order
I got two clips. I get the long one which is my alien world
order. And then there's a little follow up that's short, but this
is no joke. And the listeners really have to pay attention to
this because this is what we talk about. But I've never had
any hurt anybody, especially in the government or the military.
Put it quite so concisely.
Myra, talk about the army we have we have we don't have a
small army. And but the question on size of forces, Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marines, it's a relative question. It's not an
absolute question. It's a question of, What do you want it
to do? How big do you want it is relative to the tasks you want
it to do? But the United States military is a global military,
though, and we have been for sure, since the First World War
and with absolute certainty since the Bretton Woods
agreements of the end of World War Two, which established
essentially the international order,
do you say Bretton Woods or something else sound like
Bretton waters,
he said, he said Bretton Woods.
Certainty since the Bretton Woods agreements, the end of
World War Two, which established essentially the international
order, the rules and regimes by which the world runs today. So
for seven decades, the world has had a certain set of rules sets,
emphasizing things like free trade, international commerce,
things like democracy, or the quote unquote, liberal world
order. Things like human rights. And there's a whole wide variety
of, of things out there. And then you got institutions that
arrest upon the United Nations, the World Bank, and World Trade
Organization, all these things that were developed many years
ago. And that is essentially what people very quickly
referred to as the world order. One of the significant roles of
the United States military for seven decades, has been to
enforce that world order to maintain it to maintain its
stability. And that's in our interest, because in the first
half of the last century, there was a bloodletting, unlike any
that had ever occurred in the history of mankind. So between
1914 and 1945 100 million people were slaughtered in the conduct
of war. And that's a horrible, horrible nightmare. My mother
and father both served in that war. My mother in the Navy and
my father in the Marines, and he at the beach at Iwo Jima were
7000 Marines were killed in 19 days 34,000 wounded 22,000
Japanese killed on an island that was two miles by four
miles. There were millions of Chinese killed in belt battle
and murdered. The if you were to if you want a real Trail of
Tears, go to Eastern Europe and see what happened in Belarus and
Ukraine. Latvia, Lithuania, it's horrific. Nine out of every 10
Jews that lived in Poland didn't live didn't want to live in
1945. One out of every three males that lived in the Ukraine
or Belarus were dead by 1945. It's a horrific picture that
occurred. And those people who were in leadership positions in
1945 said never again, we can't keep doing this. This is insane.
They said the same thing in 1815, at the Napoleonic Wars,
and they set up the concept of Europe. And that worked well,
for 100 years, for one century, they kept the long peace in
Europe, more or less, there were a couple of minor flare ups, the
Crimean War and the Austrian raw war and a few other wars. But
there wasn't a continental wide war until 1914. So we tried
again in 1945, to set up a system that would try to
maintain global peace and prevent war between great powers
and great powers, states throughout the world, that
system is under stress, intense stress. Today, that system is
under stress from revolutionaries and terrorists
and guerrillas. It's under stress from nation states that
don't like the rules of the road that were written and want to
revise those rules of the road. That system is under very
intense stress. And we're at 70 years now. And that system has
prevented great power war, similar to what occurred in the
first half of the last century.
Wow. Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard that in. While this
wasn't really mainstream, even though the guy he's kind of
mainstream. I don't think of
everyone. They would teach this little lecture, which was short
by you know, if you wanted to have concise it was and by the
way, his whole half hour was just dynamite. But he, this is
not taught in schools. And if you listen to it, and especially
when it regards to
millet, no, here's the school version. Kayla hated the Jews.
Okay, see you next week
when we have income disparity. Anyway, his whole thing, of
course, is to discuss the fact that we are the nation's
policemen, but are the nation's military really, but let's
listen to the part two where he discusses a few details about
that,
similar to what occurred in the first half of the last century.
So the question is, how big an army Do you want? How big a navy
Do you want? Well, how much do you want that system? How much
do you value that system? Is that system worth preserving or
not? there and you get to the size and scope of your armies,
navies, Air Forces and marines and rightly or wrongly, fairly
or unfairly. The role of the arbiter of that system has
defaulted to the United States for seven decades. There are
other countries 60 or 70, or more so that have allied
themselves with their militaries to us. And they make significant
contributions. But it is the United States, it's been the
leader with that system. So the status of the army as part of
the military force that works to help maintain the stability of
the world. We're a global millet, we're global military or
global army. And we've got right now today, about 180,000
soldiers in the United States Army, active duty reserve and
National Guard deployed in about 140 countries around the world.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone just be ended,
particularly because he's, you know, representing the military.
You just say, Hey, this is our job, we know our job. This is
what it was all set up. And this is what we do, but it's getting
a little problematic. Now.
The thing that's interesting about this little speeches
besides being concise and right, apparently given telling us
what's going on, is it explains the, you know, this the $600
billion budget for the military, and all these countries, and it
makes these arguments that we hear a lot oh, let's get out of
where are we in Germany? It makes these a lot of these
arguments. If we if we understand the situation, as he
explained it, it makes all these these bitches very specious.
It's not you know, if you understand the mechanism and the
system as he likes to put it in, that's why we spend all this
money that's why it's big. It's just to keep the system going if
you don't like the system, which he says Apparently some people
don't aren't doing too well. Yeah. That's a different story.
So
taking that logically, when we see our friends and allies and
partners in NATO, not paying the bill for all this that we do.
That's a fair point. Yeah, because every apparently
everybody knows everybody's on board.
Yeah, they've all signed off. Yeah. And when they agreed to be
a contributor to the to the budget.
Yeah, we got other thing to do it. Of course to do. Okay, good.
Good.
So we got that. Now he did. Did I have 1233 more?
I like this guy as much as you want, please. I'm just stunned
by this guy. It's his first name. Miley is my mark. I think
Mark Miley everybody here on who is easy. 100 Mark mighty here in
the morning for you mark Miley?
Yeah, Mark Miley. Couple of things. He does discuss it. He
does a long exposition on Russia, China, and all the rest
of his is China. What's particularly interesting, I'm
gonna tell you what is good gonna be. I got one on China.
And I got one on his use of the word enemies. And he thinks that
people just throw out toss out the word enemy. But we know that
we know for you. Both ground Russia enemy, he's hostile.
He's, he thinks we definitely have to work with Russia. He
likes the Russians, I think but listen to this little thing on
China. That's good. This is quite interesting.
China has advanced really significantly in terms of
economic development, they were picking off at 10% GDP growth a
year, they slowed down to 7% in the last couple of years. But it
is probably in this is open argument, I suppose. But
probably one of the most significant, if not the most
significant economic shift in global economic power in the
last five centuries. Really, since the rise of the Western
industrial revolution, the Chinese economic growth over the
last 40 years is really, really, really significant. What does
that mean? Historically, when when economic power shifts, so
significantly, military power typically follows. And I believe
that we're seeing that today we're seeing a significant
increase in the capabilities and capacity, the size and, and
strength of Chinese military capabilities. And then you get
back to will and intent, what's their intent? What's the
purpose? What are they trying to do? The Chinese have been
actually fairly transparent about that they have a thing
that they call the China dream, and their intent.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, I've heard this string of pearls
have heard the New Silk Road, the China dream? Have we heard
this?
No, he hasn't. There's a lot of
books about these have been actually fairly transparent
about that they have a thing that they call the China dream.
And their intent is to restore their historical 5000 year roll
to essentially be the significant the most significant
power in Asia, and they want to be at least a global CO equal
with the United States. And they want to achieve that by mid
century. And they're very transparent. They write books
about it, they put articles out there about it. They would like
to do that peacefully if they can and what they call a win win
strategy. And if they can do it peacefully, that's why they're
building that military.
We're gonna look a lot like Africa. I'm sure they do it
peacefully. Here you go. Hey, let us take some of that nice
yeah.
This guy is interesting because he's actually a Princeton guy.
Most of you soon find a chief of staff that generally always come
out at West Point. And it this guy went through Princeton in
ROTC program, which in Princeton is, you know, one of the great
schools of the country that people come out are dumb. And so
that I was kind of impressed by that, that he could work his way
up the ranks and become this guy, he must just be ODOT talk,
everybody, that's the only thing I can think of. But let's listen
to this other thing on the usage of the word enemies.
So standby, China is not an enemy. I want to emphasize that
neither is Russia, for that matter, enemy has for me, for
people like me in uniform enemy has a very specific definition.
And that is a group of people or nation states that you are
currently engaged in armed conflict with. That's the word
enemy. Sometimes words like that get used too loosely. Neither
China nor Russia are enemies, we are not engaged in open armed
conflict, and we want to keep it that way. Competition is one
thing, but they attacked us even if it's adversarial, even if
there are some things below the level of conflict that happened
that are not necessarily savory. But there's a big difference.
There's a giant difference between open conflict and those
activities below open conflict. So competition without conflict
is probably a desirable goal, especially with those two
countries, given the size capacity capability of those
countries. So
this was at the National Press Club.
Yeah, it wasn't that I don't think it was the big meeting. It
was a smaller meeting.
There were journalists there. Yeah. And did anyone raise their
hand later and say, yes. They attacked us. They attacked us. I
don't why are we at war, they attacked us violence.
Nobody said that. There was my last clip is at the end when he
is done, and I would recommend anyone out there who really
wants to should go to C span and then find this speech and listen
to the whole thing. It is yeah, I'm gonna put it in the show
notes right now. Absolutely. I'm completely. I think this guy's
fantastic. Anyway, so let's listen to his he gets a he gets
one question that he got a bunch of questions. And he's pretty
funny. He he asked him one liners that weren't bad. And you
got to mark a mile. You're right, Mark. Yeah. And so but
here he is on the on the Trump announcement of one of the
changing. Trump tweeted about the gender thing. And in this
became a big news story that nobody knew about it, and Trump
just tweeted it out of the blue.
The military had no idea the Pentagon was blindsided caught
off guard
online site. That's what the Washington Post. I think they
even use that word, blindsided. Here's what he says,
Did you have advanced knowledge that the President would be
issuing the ban via Twitter yesterday?
I personally did not but know what I have expected to. And I
noticed that's been in the media out there. I, like I said up
front, it's a chain of command thing. And I render my advice
through the chain of command, which in my case would be
general DoD rendered up to General Dunford and Secretary
Mattis. And they would render it back to me. So no, personally no
presence and say, Hey, Mark, I'm doing this. No, he didn't do
that. But know what I expect them to do. Nor is there any
kind of requirement to do it. How did you learn of the
President's decision to Twitter? Well, when he sent out a tweet,
but that but again, we're trying to make this out or Pete some
people trying to make this out as if that is particularly
unique. If I could count on about a nickel for every time
I've read decisions in the news over the last 1015 20 years,
probably people are pretty well together right now. So it's not
particularly unusual to read about things in the media.
That's why in my office, I have like six screens and I got the
scrolls going every which way and I'm always looking for the
you know, breaking news. Did I know that so you know, the
people can say what they want about the media, but the one
thing you are as fast so inaccurate, accurate, sometimes.
fast all the time. Very good.
So I think it's interesting. He's going those guys have the
six screens going all the time, like, you know,
like, like a day trader. Yeah. Hey, man, we got that guy. Tweet
streams. I got Tweet Deck. I'm good to go about. Oh, did I know
about that? Yeah. Hey, before anything, I want to give you a
clip of the day for that company combination. Thank you. Very
nice. Good catch. Good catch. While we're on the New World
Order big news out of the European Union's this morning.
This came in from Reuters European Union states are
considering measures which would allow them to temporarily stop
people withdrawing money from their accounts to prevent bank
runs. And this is not law yet, but the Is being a breaking news
breaking this sounds
run into bank now. Exactly.
Well, what they're saying is it would only be it would be very
similar to Cyprus. You'll recall what happened there. Oh, yeah.
So the plan, if agreed, would contrast with legislative
proposals made by the European Commission of Emer that aim to
strengthen supervisors power to suspend withdrawals but excluded
from the more moratorium insured depositors, which under EU rules
are those below 100,000 euros. So that will be the big
question. Will it be? Will it be a level whether it be will it
be? We haven't seen new EU rules? It's kind of like the
FDIC in the US. Where your your your your deposits are insured?
Up to 250,000? Right now, it's very possible they'll just say
Yeah, cuz it talking about five days, you know, we're 20 days.
How bad is it that they're even discussing? This?
Must be pretty bad. They're planning.
I mean, Italy must be on deck. I mean, Italy must have in
Schultz. Over there at the the SPD, in Germany, who was running
here, he's running against Angular, I guess, look, he comes
out and says, If Italy is not given aid by the European Union,
the refugee refugee crisis will explode again. And this harkens
back to the Italian saying, Look, if you're not gonna give
us money, European Union, we're just gonna give all these
migrants. And I say migrants specifically gonna kick them out
of the country and give no, we're gonna give them visas for
the rest of the European right?
Yes, right. That's what I forgot here. Right? As they're gonna
give visas, and you guys are screwed. Ah, passports.
This is really good. Your passports even better? That'd be
even better. Nice. Yeah. Is this normally I'd put this in, in in
our tech news segment. But I think it's of such importance
that I want to bring it up. Now. This is the hard fork. Have you
heard of the hard fork? Have you heard about the hard fork? No,
you haven't have you know, the hard fork happens on Tuesday
12:20am by believe UTC. Bitcoin will be forked. And this? Yes,
this has some very interesting implications. And let me try and
explain. And please hold your fire. And be no need to tell
everyone. I don't understand what I'm talking about? Because
I probably don't but let me know in the chat. I'm talking to the
people out there who will, whenever we talk about Bitcoin,
just a bunch of graphs are just a lot of gross, you down, get
it? So. So there's been a long term split in the community. And
by the way, just looking at Bitcoin as an investment vehicle
versus money. You know, when you have a community about money,
you always gotta wonder what that is. Yeah, it's any good.
Now, since it's
supposed to be such an anonymizing factor, how could
you have the community in the first place? Exactly.
So the community saw one of the major issues of the Bitcoin is
the speed in which transactions can be done, and this is limited
by the block size. And that's really not important to
understand how all of it works, but that's currently one
megabyte. And the community decided, I believe a lot in line
with the sucker motion, not that Moto, Moto Moto, hello Moto,
white paper on Bitcoin, you know, the elusive guy who have
no idea who he is that the way to go was with something called
segments. And that means that there is just a codename for
upgrading this to two megabytes, this block. So you can do
instead of six transactions per was it minute or second, you can
do you can effectively doubled or maybe there's a bigger factor
in there. But that is really the biggest problem that we're
seeing with Bitcoin in the Bitcoin community. And if
bitcoin being open source, it can be forked. And what that
means is you can take all the code, including the blockchain,
and the blockchain is where everyone's money is. And you can
create a copy of that and say, Okay, we're over here, and we
have all this, this is you're gonna love this job. We have all
the same stuff. We have the all your money is now duplicated
here. It's, we have a copy of the chain, but we're changing
the chain, and our version of the chain will have eight
megabytes of block space, which is much bigger, much better. So
so this, so this group claims, and, I mean, this has now become
jihad. I mean, we're talking to people or I sent a message to
one of our experts. And I said, you know, what's, what's the
deal? What just give me your insights and I just want to make
sure I Don't misquote him. He is very denigrating about about the
alternative, or derogatory, I should say, he calls it, just
see I'm just picking up here. Shit coin, there we go shit
coin. So you can see that the community and there's a split in
the community. But here's the interesting thing. This is what
really boggles my mind when this takes place, and I bet for all
intents purposes, it's taking place as far as I know, you will
actually have a copy that you have your money in what they're
calling bitcoin cash, which will be the rival to Bitcoin. And you
your money, although it may not have the same value, it could be
a one bitcoin cash could which will be known as BC h, because
it's already already BCC, but one bch could be worth maybe
$300, the futures say maybe it'll be $900. And then if
there's an exchange, where you can turn that into dollars, or
if there's a place where you can spend it, I don't think there's
any places to accept it, you can then you basically got free
money. But here's just to top it off, that only you only assured
of that happening if you have your own key in your own
possession. So if you're using the coin base or some other some
other place, you may not get that, that double your money or
the double your coins. For instance, Coinbase I don't think
he's going to he's not going to honor that there's gonna say,
well, whatever, we're not dealing with bch but there's a
ton of other places that are so here we have something very
interesting with this money that is effectively being duplicated,
just duplicated, and a new money is created next to the original
money as if the Chinese would say, well, we're gonna duplicate
all your money and it may be worth only 50 cents, but here
you go, you just got 50 cents with our money, which you can
exchange here maybe for one or maybe for you know, for iPhones
or whatever, whatever it would be. This is this is a very it
from a community perspective and Bitcoin is the future of money.
This is not good marketing. This is very confusing for people.
But there's our sport is confusing, because it is
confusing. You understand it is you understand that you
understand the basics of what happens. No, you okay? No, you
don't. So I'll break it down into one
makes no sense to me that would work in the first place.
Why not? There's a that's Oh, I
noticed this is open source. So it's techno techno, its techno
weenies
arguing about what's better? God, how many meetings have we
been in about this? Oh, five. I think you should do double
space. I think you should do tab. I mean, that's what it is.
Reg gift GIF, yes. GIF, GIF, blue dress silver. Now, then
everyone has their own technical reasoning. But, but I'll just
try to sum it all up. If you have Bitcoin. On Tuesday, you
will wake up and you will have Bitcoin and you will have
bitcoin cash if you hold your own keys if you have that
yourself or maybe you're having an exchange or being one of
these places where you can you know money change they might do
it you will have another piece of money right next to it. And
that may be of equal value more likely to be much less but it
will be probably more than
zero. They've created a new demand
it's the Christians Yes, they've created a new dimension new
money but just out of thin air and which to me is like well
Holy crap, why don't we do this we do the no agenda fork and
then leave them then we'll be all in on it.
That's not a bad idea. Not sure if you're gonna go that dead
Yeah,
but why wouldn't anybody want everybody to afford WHY WON'T
Yeah, why doesn't everybody fork it off? And it's it's very very
interesting to me as I'm gonna be I'm I can't wait to see what
happens. The question is, will people migrate to Bitcoin cash
because that they feel that as a better technical solution and
they like the community better over there? Or will they stay
loyal to Bitcoin? BTC what will happen to the price of BTC will
it go up past 3000 Will a tank first I mean this is it should
tank I think it should tank too. I think it'll tank it'll it'll
run up it'll run back up past its its current high, which I
think is about 3000. But most of real interest is the bitcoin
cash that by the way, these communities they're really
miners. That's who these guys are. And it's guys who run
servers to make the money out have thin air, but it's not
really thin air, it's electricity and computing power.
And so that may be of interest for people to jump in and start
mining bitcoin cash. As long as you know, I looked into this a
lot, as long as you can get free electricity, you can make money
on that. But that's very hard. I mean, where can you get free
electricity except maybe Venezuela? Hey, I'm gonna be
moved to Venezuela. Yeah, I
did set up a Bitcoin mining operation in Venezuela. For the
government. I
think they have I think they have miners in Venezuela, for
that very reason. So anyway, this kind of destroys the whole
notion of Bitcoin as money. And every single analysis I've seen,
I watched yesterday for hours trying to understand what was
happening. No one's talking about this as money. It's all
about your investment. Hey, if you're gonna buy in, you know,
it could rise. Its own it. This is only it's not about money.
It's just as this is the tiller. This is the what were those
little, little dolls that happened during the crash and 99
to 2000 era Beanie Babies? Yeah. Beanie Babies. Beanie Baby, I
find this by the way, if you study, whoa, hold
on, this was your theory, I want you to repeat the theory. And
then I want to ask you where we are in your theory.
Okay, well, before we do that, I want to play a clip then. Okay,
this is just so everyone gets a feeling for what's going on in
this economy of ours. There's a Trish Regan and stocks going up
clip.
Okay. But they're not fully employed. So I would point out
that you also seen a decline in the US six rate, which is very
good news. So the economy's doing better. The stock market
you think will also continue to do better? Or is that completely
dependent on tax reform? I think the stock market depends upon
the underlying economic growth, which we think accelerated in
the second quarter and, and will also pick up over the rest of
the year. And unless Trish, there is a recession, which I
don't see one on the horizon, not in 2017 or 2018. I think
stocks can continue to move higher. It's all about for
stocks growth, and the generation of corporate earnings
and things on that front look great.
It looks great.
And by the way, Trish should get a clue and stop using so much
Botox. All right. Okay, anyway, so
how does that play into the beat the Beanie Baby story
is, there's a number of coincidences that take place
during the end of a market run. And it before you have a crash,
and a lot of them are, can only be described as crazy
investments. And I think and there are, there's evidences of
this happening before the any of these crashes, you'll find the
evidences of craziness, like pole dancing, and you just have
to look at the sociology of the era. But being Beanie Babies was
the phenomenon that took place most recently. And there wasn't
quite as similar if there wasn't, there may have been a
similar phenomenon before the crash of 2008. But the Beanie
Babies one was the one that got me more the most excited because
they had an actual television network on cable and satellite
dish that showed up 24/7 Beanie Baby Beanie Baby trading. And
this guy was on there with all these different rare Beanie
Babies. Oh, this one is gonna this is gonna appreciate in
value. This is the rare green Irish Beanie Baby. And they
would send people would buy these things for like hundreds
of dollars and then have these huge collections. There was even
one episode I would recommend
one guy who made like $300 million off of this bullcrap.
I don't know that. But it's possible, I think. So. I bet
even that number seems a little high. But there was even an
episode of Third Rock from the Sun. We were one of the
characters in that show. We're addicted to collecting Beanie
Baby babies. And the whole phenomena was just fascinating.
Because these things were worthless. There were just
little things they were creating Ty could company we just crank
on
arguably they were worth much more than Bitcoin.
Because there was substance. Yeah, that was
tangible. You could touch it.
You could touch it, you could put it on the wall, you could
put it in a in a cabinet. You could you could display it a
lot. So there was actually there was an element of value, but
that element of value wasn't in the hundreds of dollar Wait,
wait, but wait, was it a store of value?
No, obviously.
That's what Bitcoin value is. That's what Bitcoin is always
called. It's called a store of value
of value. Now there was probably something I haven't traced what
it was that took place in 2006 2007 errors, somebody out
there might immediately know because they were involved with
whatever it was that disappeared off the face of the earth, like
the beanie babies. And I'm still irked by The fact that I had a
rare Beanie Baby and I didn't dump it. Anyway, dammit. So
Bitcoin seems to be taking on some of these characteristics.
Well, yeah, faddish is it has to be faddish, and this is very
faddish. It has to be kind of nuts. If you're stand back a
little bit and look at it, and you go, why are people doing
this? There's nothing there. It's not like they're investing
in a gold mine that used to do the same thing with Beanie
Babies, you step back and go, This doesn't make a lot of sense
to me.
Well, here's, here's what I learned. Because it's a little
bit deeper than than I realized. Because you hear about all these
alternate coins, all coins being created, observes a ton of them.
Well, I kind of dove into this. And I am there are entire
trading systems, John, with with professional technical
indicators, web based you can trade that I've seen that I see,
at minimum 18 different types of coins ranging from one penny to
that's a couple around $1.70, couple around 30 bucks,
somewhere around 140, somewhere around 300. And these are all
have all been created out of nothing out of crypto, I guess.
But but the the entire ecosystem is your beanie babies. It's not
just Bitcoin, there. I mean, there are masses of people
sitting there trading all of these coins which have? Well, I
guess technically you could say they have value because energy
went into creating them. So but that is that's a philosophical
back
versation one of the original fads that was documented, and by
the way, it falls right on one of the patterns that I've been
following, I think is the 80 year pattern, the 40 year one of
the two. It was the collapse in 16, I think 1648 of the tulip
market in Holland,
which I'm very familiar with, because we have discussed this,
and we've discussed it in, in correlation with the.com. Boom,
but there was, it was a little, it's different in the same. And
I think everyone has heard, it's always different. Everyone's
heard of a tulip mania. But tulip mania was the main eye
opener, there was the idea that you could buy commodities with
just pieces of paper, you know, there was really ground zero of
the commodities exchange, and which later on moved from
morphed into a stock exchange. And that was the that was the CO
created a bubble. Well, there was a pump and dump. It created
a huge bubble, then everything goes
on. But it's not technically a pump and dump. Okay.
I'm not gonna argue I'm not gonna argue that, what I'm
saying is what has happened here, the big thing that's
changed is everybody Oh, even though this started right around
the.com collapse around 9899, when we had e trade and all
these different things coming along, now we have developed
kids who have developed these coins, I'm just gonna call them
kids. But they've also developed this entire ecosystem to trade
them around it. And it's unregulated. It's open 24 hours,
you know, it's it's insane. It's a wild west, very interesting to
follow. And this may be you know, maybe we get one last run
up and then then it correlates with your beanie baby theory of
the crashes here.
Well, I would, I would, unless I would if you were into the
Bitcoin team from the get go and you were making a lot of money
you've gotten to $5 and you're just your your 5,000x right now
whatever. And you're you're right on it and you can go in a
lot of people can trade in a market that is vibrant and
happening and as long as there's volatility, yeah, yeah. And
you're making money and but getting out is the issue. She
can you get out, get your fill. And if you're like a true bool,
and only people that are in there doing that this is the
problem, I think with any market that creates a bubble, is that
if you're in the market, and you're in the bubble, you don't
really see it as a bubble. You never do. You're inside the
thing. And so you're and you're a true believer and let's go and
go with our friend over there at the RT, the Max Keiser, he's a
true believer in Bitcoin.
He's created his own coin.
Well, the Yeah, but he's a Bitcoin nut. And so he is inside
there, and he's, he doesn't see anything he's I the last year he
was on when he was with the with the character I mentioned
earlier. He was talking about Bitcoin going to 5000 50,000 Jim
Rogers 50,000 100,000. And up and Rogers, of course, is not
getting involved in any of this sort of thing. And he had, he
admitted. Kaiser says to Roger If I told you to buy it five and
Rogers says yes I should have probably that would have been a
good idea but he's still looking to buy at any price because he
sees this thing crazy he's not nuts but if you had bought it
five he'd have been a happy camper but that's the same thing
with anything you could say. Of course the you know, hindsight
is dynamite. Yeah, you could be rich if you could back up
the the only advice I would I would give to our no agenda
listeners who might be in this if you are on an exchange where
you can short Bitcoin don't do it. Do not short
any only do anything but maybe sell a couple get
out. Donate to us how about that?
That's probably a better idea. And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
do John See you in the C stands for coins a bit Devorah egg

In the morning to the chat room. No agenda stream.com Hello, no
agenda social.com Over there. tooten away and boosting. And in
the morning to nick the rat who brought us one of the funniest
pieces of artwork. Mainly because of its simplicity. Yeah,
for episode nine or five, zero race colon other was the title
of that. A A, I believe it's photograph lucky
photographically enhanced photo. You think the Jeff Bezos is i?
That was very funny. I mean, sorry, Jeff. We don't like to
make fun of people's physical appearance on the no agenda
show. But we have to. And that case, for sure. And we want to
thank all of our artists who always are diligently creating
fantastic art and uploading it to no agenda, art generator.com
It's highly appreciated. And that's why we give our artists
credits right up front.
And you have a few people to thank to be for being a sales
executive and Associate Executive producers and I get to
kind of a kick out of this. We had like a pretty normal show
949 donation segment. Yeah, which was on a Sunday, then
Thursday comes around for the big show 950 And it was subpar.
And then we have show 951 which really has no redeeming
characteristics. I mean, special characteristics and we did much
better again. It's like ridic you know 950 meanwell is the
laggard right. But we do have a few people to think profusely
starting with Sir Okay, this is like an issue because it's so
cool. Corwin Underwood. Now I don't know whether Corwin was
ever knighted. But he says he is okay well, he was a baron that
then because he wonders it is noticed my brothers are metal
Mikey rights initially turned me on to Infowars many years ago
even though some of my the ideas and theories presented by
Infowars are generally accurate. I can't stand their delivery
methods and sales pitches for Male Vitality potions, and
diamond gusset blue jeans. I don't know. But that's
the one to protect your junk when you fall off your hog.
Let alone the outrageous performance performative rants
by Alex Jones. Personally, that's to me is the best part of
that show. Is the performative rants Yes Your twice weekly
rational this deconstruction of the M five M is the most awesome
thing I get to listen to on my daily commute for work. It keeps
me securely grounded in dimension a I have a sincere
question to ask you guys I'm by no means a dude named Ben and I
have no idea how the internet works. Or I and I have no idea
how the internet works. I'm a poor slave in the military who
works for the Air National Guard as a diesel generator mechanic
who has worked his way up the ranks to supervisor of the work
center are nice. Why is there not a link on the donation page
for peerage? You guys mentioned the link peerage on the show
often but I can never remember Oh, a link on the charter the
organ donation page it would be very helpful. Okay, it's just
avoid.org/peerage technically is peerage dot htm but I understand
what you're saying. Okay, so we
put it on the donation. I'll put it in. I'm going to put it into
the show notes right now.
We always have Why don't we did it'll be on it'll be it'll be on
divorce.org/na And eventually, I would like to get a shout out to
Mr. Metal Mike who hit me in the mouth around episode 550 ish.
And Sir Calista cough of Queen City who are the only other two
no agenda nights I know of in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Jingles Can I get a dude I've got some information man

Madonna so but here you go I've got information man new shit has

peerage later on the program

for himself I believe we need to play because Yeah, Okay, keep
going granduca The Pacific Northwest Oh, here we go. Ladies
and gentlemen, I present the Grand Duke of the Pacific
Northwest Swain melon zone and 950 33 Tigard Oregon ITM Jen,
sorry. Everyone sucks at support right now. I hope that improves
as the quality of recent shows continues continues to be
exemplary. Count me and the 950 club this is another mystery
that we were wondering about generally speaking, when we do
one of these special shows somebody comes in usually one of
the grand dukes are somebody with a 950 to become a member of
the 950 club right? It didn't happen but now it did.
That's nice. And let's and a little 33 added for just some
pennies for the next 33 nights so he's actually take a penny
give a penny beautiful
and he needs a little fierce freedom and stay WOKE karma for
all nights freedom contradiction in this world karma now we have
Serrana myths of the Dog Patch. Oh, he's
back. Yeah, five years. He is quite the patron these days.
Yes, he's very dark guy. Very nice. And he has a note I guess
that for people out there and then some for us. along it is a
little longer than normal note Serrana Mr. Dogpatch? Are you
confused over news and try to cover up the way you feel? But
inside the questions linger. Do you find that discussing news
outside your social media environment causes read faces
and disagreement? Do you worry that you may be sharing opinions
that may not be true? No agenda works with the information
sources you're currently consuming so you don't have to
give up on social media and in network broadcasting you already
use. Adding no agenda to your current information sources has
been shown to reduce symptoms of confusion and depression. Do not
listen to no agenda if you're allergic to fact analysis or any
of the ingredients and no agenda. Allergic reactions have
included amygdala expansion, dimension sickness, exploding
heads mean resuscitation and anaphylaxis, which may be
difficult mean include difficulty and bleep brute men
breathing tightness in the chest and a poor breathing, tightness
in the chest and swelling of the mouth, face lips or tongue and
donation constipation. In a study in the psychology of
giving MRI scans revealed that an area of the brain linked to
generosity to no agenda triggered a response and another
part of the brain related to happiness, which of course we
mentioned. Yeah, random producer comments episode 945 48. Baby
Boomer angelic night's birthday was not included on the list
even though that was the basis of the donation right now. I
only listens closely.
I'm sorry, I ain't
good. I'm baby brothers
and we don't live now because I just do it now.
Put it on today's list. Okay,
who am I congratulating angelic night? Angelic night? Yes.
Happy Birthday says baby brother. I guess. Okay, but had
to look good. We haven't aged
or anything. This is what I want. I'm always looking for.
It just put make good the June.
Happy Birthday June
or December was July was 948. When was that a lie? Yeah. All
right. All right. xennials are the microgeneration between Gen
X and millennials who experienced both the analog and
digital world during their formative years. Our five
children include older millennials who use the term
zeneo with an X. They're the they are ruthless towards the
self proclaimed digital geniuses a few years younger. As the
oldest notes we know the history building blocks, y2k scam and
which parts of their world to screw with. This came up in the
conversation again, by the way at the dinner table. Okay,
everybody's in agreement about these two groups.
About the split the split in the millennial group.
Yes, it's profound. And it's no the
split is those who witnessed 911 And then those who did not.
Well now that's not what they all every lot of people save
kind of what he says, which is one group was the internet was
in full play when they were born. Yeah, that was kind of
caught in.
Yeah, that makes more sense. That makes more sense to me. I
agree.
Well, okay. It's debatable. It's definitely both things can could
be both things combined, whatever, they're, they're very
different and we would discuss what else was there some other
issue I'd have to take? No, I'm gonna start taking notes I I'm
sorry. The war on matters is his last comment. Manners are
accepted and expected everywhere in global societies yet behaving
as a lady or a gentleman in public is increasingly demeaned.
In Western society. This is not a war on men, but a war on
manners. Real women are ladies and real men are gentlemen, if a
woman wants to be respected, stand by a door and wait for a
man to open it. If the man that opens, it will be respectful
toward her for that short period, and we'll be pleased to
display manners someone might someone taught him manners are
taught by positive reinforcement, demonstrated self
discipline, and instill positive feelings in the person
displaying them. Rudeness is from the Lord of the Flies
classroom, and encouraged by government so they can protect
us from the undisciplined.
Wow, that's that is. And I'll and I'll add to that, that I
watched a documentary Friday night, called the red pill. And,
and this is a no agenda tip. This is something you definitely
want to watch. It was a crowdfunded documentary, it was
a Kickstarter, and this girl who self proclaimed feminist ghosts
to find these horrible, hateful hate groups, as classified by
the Southern Poverty Law Center, who are the pro men movement
called the Red pillars. And it's very, it was eye opening to me
some things I didn't even know, but also to Tina, who was
watching with me, that women are undervalued. And so it's kind of
the conclusion is women are undervalued in society, but
men's lives are have no value at all in society. And when you
look at, you know, let's see, it's one out of every three
women is abused in their relationship. One out of every
two men is abused in their relationship. Yet there are
1000s of centers for women to go and get help. There's only one
one official center for abused men 98% of all deaths in war men
98% of people dying six years earlier men and it just goes on
and on and on and on. And a lot of it focuses on Family Court
and how men have absolutely no no power whatsoever. It's
something to watch
Okay, yeah, I've seen it recommend it. I'll check it out.
It's
really good and I've been so I'm okay with go I'm okay with being
courteous. I'm okay with women being Yeah,
but is it does it still constitutes running through the
door first and then spinning?
I've been trying. I've been trying to spin. I've been trying
to spin virginity or
just sweep with your hands. Yes. Well, enter enter
matter. Yes. Yeah. I've been spinning. I'm liking it. I got I
got my spin down, man. You know, if you add a little flair to it,
you know, people take notice.
They would especially with that hand movement.

anyway, he says in DC dimension B is a must. Oh, no. He says I'm
sorry. Let me reread this whole thing. I'm so glad no agenda
keeps me woke with your news coverage in DC dimension because
it dimension BDC instead of no agenda is a must audit. at
social events. There's always a little group of us woke sitting
between dimensions, watching and thinking can you believe this
shit? doing my part to shrink and big deal as and grow frontal
cortexes? I wonder

is also my knighthood see it and he goes to parties and sits her
role as second. If he goes to parties that means he's probably
up a couple of levels not just a
staffer. And he should be sending us more info.

make your data points. I would like to thank profusely, our
executive producers and Associate Executive producers
for episode 950 950 episodes of the best podcast. In the
universe, we didn't make that up. You made that up, supported
by you produced by you produced by people who do all kinds of
things for this program. There's no other model like it. I don't
care what anybody says, You are pioneering it. Congratulations,
and particularly these people who get these credits upfront.
And remember, we do have another show coming up on Thursday, and
we need as much support as we can get evora.org/n F typically
a good time to grab yourself and Associate Executive producer
credit just say our formula is this. We go out. We had people
in the mouth. Oh, what happened there? Sorry about that. Sorry
about that. Okay. All right. We're back. Back on track. Oh, I
wanted to read this little piece was actually I thought it was an
op ed at first, but it turns out it's, it was an interview in
Time magazine with Uncle Don, about Korea. When was this? July
24. Okay, I didn't get to it on Thursday. So we'll do it today.
So it is indeed an interview. And Uncle Don, I'll just it
actually the article has his background. So I will give it to
you. 89 retired State Department and CIA veteran North Asia
specialist and a recipient of the National Intelligence
Distinguished Service Medal. How about that? My uncle, he was
ambassador to South Korea, after a little thing called Iran
Contra. You can look them up, which he was exonerated. But an
ambassadorship seemed like a good thing. It's he has been to
North Korea five times in the past, I think in the past four
years, no, six times in the past four years. And he has some
things to say. Here we go. He says the absence of direct
dialogue between the US and North Korea has to change. We
can't deal with them if we don't understand them, and we won't
understand them if we aren't talking to each other. And the
article goes on, although Greg's thinking may be out of sync with
much of what's coming out of the Trump White House and Congress
both are pushing for more sanctions in response to North
Korea's recent ICBM. Then, okay, it gets down to the interview,
the North Koreans are not suicidal. They don't want a war.
Despite the rhetoric that rhetoric and propaganda. North
Korea's leaders are thoughtful, well educated pragmatists. And
then the interview actually goes on and talks about knowing Don's
for a long time like 35 or 40 years. And then he says Kim Jong
Un North Korea's current leader is smart, tough and a risk taker
who sees his nuclear arsenal as protection against a US attack.
Although he doesn't say North Korea banding its north. Greg
says that nuclear proliferation is a bigger problem than just
North Korea. He is personally more worried about Pakistan's
nuclear weapons and war engulfing the Middle East than
he is about North Korea. And then the at the end here, he has
a nice quote. Because he talks about how pretty Pyongyang is
and how function is it just people really don't want to hear
that. They hate hearing that it's that it's actually kind of
a nice city and it looks pretty and it's functioning very well.
But his quote, which is, which is the headline. He says for
sure North Korea is the longest running failure in the history
of American espionage so so again, kind of mirroring what
we've talked about is a just want an actual truth. Seeing a
truce a treaty because the war has not officially ended we have
a armistice armistice
Yeah, I think so.
Well, we're just a temporary no shooting rule which has been
going on for
me I don't know what to call it but it's it does officially has
not officially ended right now. Of course. The reason for all
this is so we can sell stuff to South Korea. Now let's play
what's going on now because there's a number I have two
clips. Interesting. Yes, that's third clip. But first of all, I
want to play this one. This is the CBS clip which brings Hawaii
and yes okay. DPRK nuclear CBS.
North Korea's latest missile test is raising new concerns
that they could hit deep into the mainland us on Friday, the
North launched its second intercontinental ballistic
missile this month. It flew for more than 40 minutes traveling
high into space before coming down in the Sea of Japan.
Quarter Evan says officials in Hawaii are not taking chances
the latest missile Launch true parties from North Korea leader
Kim Jong Hoon, who said through stage media that tests clearly
prove the whole US mainland is in firing range. Japanese news
cameras purportedly captured the missile crashing into the ocean.
But experts confirm if it were aimed at a lower trajectory. It
could have reached Los Angeles, Chicago and even New York. In
response, US and South Korean forces staged joint live fire
exercises, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson condemned
the launch saying we will never accept a nuclear armed North
Korea. I think when we say we don't accept it. What we really
mean is that we're in a state of denial. Jeffrey Lewis is a
nuclear policy expert at the Middlebury Institute of
International Studies. You may see that that language changes
and we move away from talking about denuclearization towards
steps to try to reduce tension on the peninsula. North Korea's
missile test earlier this month put the Hawaiian Islands in
range because of our proximity. We are 20 minutes away from
destruction State Representative G Ward wants to reopen military
bunkers hidden deep inside Diamondhead to temporarily run
Hawaii's government amid a nuclear attack. The tunnels were
built more than 100 years ago for ammunition storage says
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Anthony with the National Guard
says was never designed to house people for any period of time.
No, it was designed to withstand an artillery barrage and also to
unleash an artillery barrage in the opposite direction. So far,
Hawaii is the first state to issue an official emergency plan
for a North Korean launch. Remembering the last attack here
no one wants to be caught off guard we had no preparation for
Pearl Harbor
this one we've had a slow burn if we are sleeping now when we
have a clear and present danger. We are negligent
no afraid now. The new was new on the scene. I think we talked
about this on the last show new on the scene is Hawaii. It's
always been Washington, California, New York all of a
sudden crops well
as you recall in 2014 is when the Hawaii threat began because
we had to play it again. And that is when Tulsi Gabbard got
elected and she's a piece Nick. This whole thing may be
targeting her perfect or friend
her I'd like her very much. I'd like her on don't
go for any of this stuff. She knows his bull crap. And but she
is a devout antiwar peacenik. Now, the thing is, if you
listen, if you listen to the mark Miley exposition on the
world order, you know, one thing he doesn't talk about is the arm
sales that go that go in the direction of South Korea and all
these other countries kind of trying to it's almost as though
it's counter. It's it. counterbalance is us being the
world's policemen trying to keep things calm by built by sending
all these munitions out there which have to be you well, you
can only
be you can only be the policeman if you have conflict. So either
you Trump it up, so to speak, with media reports and you know,
it's, again, you saw on the European trip, people were
really they weren't. Who gives a shit about Trump, they're all
worried about North Korea, because they've been just
completely indoctrinated with this idea that they're going to
bomb us any minute now. So that's part of the job is to is
to do that so that we can remain the police with our $600 billion
budget, and we can still sell stuff. It's all a bunch part of
the system.
Now, here's the thing that I thought was the most interesting
clip. I'm gonna skip the next one.
Which by the way, if you recall, Uncle Don admitted to me
remember that, like, two years, two or three years ago? Yeah.
Military Industrial Complex, it's just bullcrap. Okay, print
that tiny magazine.
So we still have to figure out what what Kim Jong Hoon is
thinking. So I was watching this is Charlie Rose on his interview
show and he's got David Sanger of The New York Times, I think,
in this instance, and you listen carefully to what he says, I
think Sanger kind of nails the whole problem with North Korea.
So they're not actually thinking operationally about how they
might do this and launch missiles on the United States.
They know that's the end of their regime. It's the end of
everything. This entire weapons program is all about survival
for Kim Jong Un. He looks out at the landscape and what does he
see? He sees somebody like Gaddafi in Libya, who had a
nascent nuclear program, no place close to what the North
Koreans or even the Iranians had, and gave it up in 2003. And
we said don't worry, don't worry given up, we'll integrate you
with the West come on in, you know, the integration was pretty
poor. And then when his people turned against him. The United
States, Europe and the Arab states all came in and bombed
him until somebody pulled them out of a ditch and Trump. Kim
Jong Un looks at that. And he says, not me. And we're going
full speed with the program. And the big difference between him
and his father is he really is going full speed. And
he's, you have to give the devil his due. He's been pretty. He's
shown a sense of urgency. That's paid off.
Urgency determination. I mean, someday when somebody writes a
history of this, it's going to be the history of a dead broke
country with you know, no, no Silicon Valley to fall back on.
It figured out how to steal big hire and bribe people to build a
nuclear arsenal.
It's interesting. I read an op ed, I'm gonna say it was the
time to the Washington Post, where this exact argument was
used regarding Assad saying that well, Assad saw what happened to
Libya, you know, yeah, he said, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna let
that happen.
I like the big which is a big bomb, then pull them out of a
hole, shoot, shoot. He's our friend.
Saddam Hussein. Same Same deal. But yeah, okay. Everything will
be great. Yeah. Can you blame him?
No, not if you look at it from those terms. Oh. Kim Jong Yong
Yong, Kim Jong Yong Yong, Kim Jong Yong Yong.
I think that Qaddafi example, which was orchestrated by
Hillary is the is the deterrent for all these guys. Nobody's
going to this is like you know, you, you do a favor for the mob
and the next thing you know, they shoot you.
Let me play the clip, even though it was in the donation
segment. This is Hillary Clinton when she's doing an interview, I
believe with ABC. Uma Aberdeen leans over, gives her BlackBerry
which states that Qaddafi has just been killed. And this was
her response. So I mean, that is the
land of unconfirmed it. Yes, we came. We saw he died.
Yeah, yeah. That's how he agrees to give up his new nuke program.
He wants to integrate with the West. He comes out to us and
stays in a tent on Trump's property and all the rest of the
a bomb and shoot him in the head. Unbelievable. Yeah. Well,
I think anyway, I thought that analysis really summed up with
the answer, probably up to very good.
I have a couple of Ministry of Truth in oath. I got one for
you. I actually, I clipped this just for you. You've been on the
David Brooks thing about him. David Brooks is the Republican
blogger for the New York Times,
correct? No, he's not blogger. He's a columnist, but he he's up
to Joe. It could be a blogger. He, he's the guys on PBS that
represents the Republicans on his column. He doesn't really
represent most of the kind of conservative but he never is.
Well, no, he's not. And there's a reason for it. And as
witnessed, remember, people say the oddest thing on podcasts,
they really feel like they can let their guard down. And he was
on not well,
no agendas around. Yeah, we're on the case now.
One of our producers sent me a pointer to a waking up with Sam
Harris, Episode 89, at the very end of the show this small
exchange between Sam Harris and David Brooks. Yeah.
And that extends to the media as well. And it's the same attitude
that imagines that Infowars is the same as the New York Times
because both commit errors of fact. Yeah, it's the leveling of
all of all values and all truth claims there. So anyway, David,
we have to resist it. And you've been resisting it impeccably, in
your column for The New York Times. So please keep it up.
Thank you. I have no choice. I need to need the job.
Exactly. He has to resist because he needs the job. It's
pretty sad state of affairs when the when the when the guy
actually hates that states that. Now this happened, I think last
night. GLORIA Borgia I've never really understood why she is the
senior political analyst on CNN. I don't she doesn't really have
a huge background and she's not married anybody important, and
I've never really understood that. But, man brav raked over
the coals about her sources. It was a very embarrassing moment.
Analysis. You know, Gloria, it
is rather extraordinary. We've seen resignation now after
resignation. Sean Spicer, the press secretary resigned earlier
in the week, his close friend and ally in the White House
reigned supreme is now gone. Right. And I you know, I think
in a way the Ryan's previous departure is not a surprise,
although there we did get pushed back on it today. But we had
heard you say pushed back a lot of our viewers don't understand
that. Are these people simply out of the loop? They don't know
what they're talking about, or are they lying? Could be a
little bit of both. And it could all be that the person involved
didn't know at that point. I mean, I, you know, it's well, if
it's hard to know, all I know is you know, you're only as good as
your sources and you have a source that tells you that
Reince Priebus is, will be gone. And then you have a good source
that tells you that's not that's not the case. And clearly the
sources that were pushing you away are not good sources. So
you got to be careful with those sources down the road, either.
They don't know what there's what they're talking about, or
they're lying. Well, so those sources, presumably. But as a
reporter, thank you. I'm not the only one here doing the
reporting on this. And when you get differing stories from a
White House in which there are competing interests, and you
understand you have to understand the decider is the
President of the United States. And, you know, we were told, I
was told that the President had made his decision. But you never
know until you know, in these in these situations, particularly
Donald Trump.
I love broth God, well, you should never listen to that
source in the future. That guy sucks your show. And she's like,
that was probably the real guy. An actual source. He's like,
Don't talk about my stores like that. They'll never talk to me
again.
I reminded of a situation that we had at InfoWorld in 1981,
Infowars in 1981. Info world Oh, sorry,
is a computer story. And this is just before the Lisa came out.
And this is where the jobs, the jobs era where everything was
buttoned down. First episode first go round. And so somebody
developer gave us a drawing of the Lisa. Computer, which was
this. Lisa? Yeah. Yeah, the Apple Lisa, which was a big deal
at the time is the proto Macintosh. And so this guy gave
us this drawing and we had a guy on the staff. I'm not gonna
embarrass him because he's still writing but this guy's he's one
of these analyst writers, you know, research company,
guys. Oh, Padre S J?
No, it is no, this guy's like a well known writer. And so he
comes waltzing in for some reason. And we say, look, we got
that we got the drawing of the Lisa. And he takes one look at
it. And he says, Oh, that's not it. That's not it. I can assure
you that that's not it. And I was we ran it anyway. And I was
wondering where he got his information, or if he grabbed
saw, I'm not sure. But what the drawing was, was it it was right
on the money. It was a real deal. And I've always been
suspicious of some of these guys ever since. And, you know, they
got to Oh, and there's always so caulk. Sure. I know, that's not
at I've seen it. It's not it. And it is it. So it's a real,
it's a real tough go TO to have to kind of traverse these, this
minefield of information.
That's why you like to New York Times always does. Here's an
example of a New York Times technology article about Apple
both saying you know, blah, blah, blah, the iPhone a blood
it's gonna be great to have this ended up with but it could be
something different. You never know. That's how they always
they always do that The New York Times I hate
that. Oh,
it's just yeah, man about time will
tell. Yeah, just give your opinion. But go either way.
You should have done that. About the mouse. It could go either
way.
I was I you know, I couch that mouse. I know you did.
Because you said there's no evidence. You're absolutely
right. But it was stronger. If you'd said could go through the
room.
It wouldn't have been stronger. It was not my style, I actually
really was repulsed by that. That way of writing where you
ended with a wishy washy thing that's you can do it you can
soft peddle your your whole thesis in different ways. But
that particular it would could go either way comment in some of
these other ones that I've seen in The New York Times I just
don't like it I just don't think it's a good style it's it makes
you say why but here's what it here's what it does for the
reader you're reading and reading all this stuff and it's
oh this is interesting interested in against it you say
you say to yourself when you get to that ego Why did I read this
for what why are you wasting my time
but here's the here's the important analogy or the
comparison. So what kind of person is it that is a source
that does this? I'm certain it is this way or I'm just like
Borja was talking about, well, a good source and I'm certain it's
not gonna happen. I don't think these people are liars. I think
they they find themselves more important than they really are.
And they just don't know about the guy Info Wars.
It was explained to me by a guy who was a lot of people in the
computer business they do their writing or the public relations
or their product managers and they all On a Sunday, they can
become consultants. Oh, I'm gonna be as consultant. This
problem did and he never make any money as a consultant even
though they have the chops to be a consultant they can do it is
somebody explained to me once that real consultants, the guys
who make the big money millions of dollars, those guys aren't
dudes the way they present themselves. They are so caulk,
sure about everything they're consulting on. It's it's not
even a question to be doubted when I tell you this, right?
Those are the guys and this guy that told me that there wasn't
the lease, it was one of those guys. And so he presents himself
with this, this assuredness that is just overwhelming. And most
people who go into consulting have to do that to make money.
And it's the style you develop, right? Where everything you say
is so absolutely the gets, is it. And
so do you think that these people are consultants who are
passing on this information?
I think there there may be X consultants or they worked as
lobbyists or there are they're just these guys are all over the
place or in all the industries with your tech a lot guys are
crawling in Washington, DC. They're just guys who are full
of crap. You Yeah. And they're sure they're very
take care. How did how did this writer who shall not be named
How did he outlive that?
That never did? He says yeah, bye. I just assume everything he
writes is kind of bullshit. Nope. I mean, he kept
his job. Oh, yeah. Cheese, even though
it was a drawing, you know, and he said it wasn't the right
product. I mean, it's like it's a crapshoot to begin with.
Because you don't know what the drawing guy could do gave us the
drawing. Exactly. Right. Drawing could have been full of crap.
You don't know. Know, the guy, you know, because I was misled.
I mean, I was misled about the iPhone. So that didn't help me
much.
But one of your sources who misled you know,
is a long story. I wrote it up somewhere. I'm going to find
that.
Oh, I didn't realize there was more backstory to it. That's
interesting.
I have a great story. Oh, somebody with some magazine.
Well, why don't you tell us it's too long and complicated. I'll
put the URL, right. Don't get angry at me. It's just like,
it's a complex structure that I can't really talk about. But if
you read it, you go Oh, that's interesting. Okay, gotcha.
Sorry. I'll find that article. Some magazine wanted me to do
this article. So I did it. And they were very disappointed
somehow, it doesn't surprise me. Thank you, sir. bemrose for this
Jesus guys are fast. I
know. It's the best. Alright, couple of couple of things about
the Trump shuffles here. We got some people moving in moving
out. We got the mooch coming in. That moves just keeps on givin
man.
This guy's the best. He's the best card and undercover.
He's talking about leakers right now here.
undercard and undercover or out if you will, the leakers in the
entire country, as the President would say in his own words, the
White House leakers are small potatoes. I'll talk to you about
a few leaks that happened last night that I find reprehensible.
But the White House leaks are small potatoes relative to
things that are going on with leaking things about Syria, or
North Korea or leaking things about Iraq. Those are the types
of leaks that are so treasonous that 150 years ago people would
have actually been hung for
those types of leaks. I think he's hanged but he can say hi,
hungry, give me some maybe he maybe meant home if you think
about it. Maybe he did. Here's the background or pre misses out
CBS tight report.
Yes, sorry, got it.
At an anti gang speech on Friday in Long Island, New York,
President Trump foreshadowed his announcement that General John
Kelly would replace embattled chief of staff rights previous
John
Kelly, who has done an incredible job of Secretary of
Homeland Security incredible, one of our real stars.
When the President returned to Washington, he made the move
official in a series of tweets, then briefly addressed the press
rights as a good fan. John Kelly will do a fantastic job. General
Kelly has been a star done an incredible job thus far
respected by everybody. A great great American rights brief is a
good man.
The move kept off a damaging week for Priebus, in which newly
appointed communications director Anthony Scaramucci,
publicly insulted him and claimed he was behind a series
of leaks. Priebus says he's leaving with his head up.
We'll be working on a transition here for a couple of weeks
together with General Kelly, starting on Monday morning. So
this isn't a This isn't Not like a situation where there's a
bunch of ill will,
feelings. I have a couple of questions and some follow ups.
Trying to think how I want to formulate this first, maybe a
step back one sec. The John Kelly appointment, I finally
understood it. It took me about like, boom, why this guy? Trump
went to military academy. Right? That's where he was straightened
out. That's the story that his dad sent him there. If you look
at the we didn't know what do we have three generals now in the
upper echelon running, he likes this. He likes him.
He likes Lin was another one. They get ready. Yeah, he
really does like this. And I think that that says a lot and
it may be good. I don't know. Our military intelligence guys
say they like they like Kelly a lot. Oh, I'll take that for as
fact then. I'm just gonna make another point.
Kellyanne, he also came from Homeland Security. I don't know
some of these guys. You know, this whole previous thing.
That's interesting, because my two liberal friends who were
discussed on the show occasionally,
Now when do you when this bed had
their best ever been made? We can't they won't take the bed.
Okay, I think I've abused my supposition of righteousness or
my being right too often. But they both were on the they were
kind of amongst themselves saying I wonder who they're
going to fire first. This is like a month ago. Shawn or
prevous? And I was thinking I was agreed I thought those are
the two next targets that we're gonna go. And
with the healthcare failure someone had to go I mean, that's
just what you do. Someone has to go
Yeah, well, they got rid of both of them but it was the order
they were they were kind of wondering about I think there's
a may have a clear Well, here's a here's a clip we should play
with at least before we start discuss it too much. This is the
inside the previous firing on Charlie Rose placed by the
Secretary of Homeland Security
you're facing man, I don't know what's going on with your setup
the second clipboards face or you cry, I don't
know either crossed the wires. The other one did, too. But now
we had it two in a row. I'm wondering if it's degrade over
there because it just started. Yeah, sure. pleased by the
Secretary. coincidences, it's hard to imagine. pleased by
the Secretary of Homeland Security General John Kelly. I
just spoke with Jonathan Karl, the chief White House
correspondent for ABC News.
And there's no question he was fired. The President had made it
clear actually, even before Scaramucci came in, the
President had made it clear internally that he was getting
ready to make a change. Not necessarily on this exact date.
The Scaramucci fiasco the back and forth between the two of
them accelerated this but the President had made it clear he
was getting ready to make a change. And Charlie, this comes
in this is an incredibly chaotic six months when you think about
it, because not only do you have a chief of staff, one of the
shortest serving chief staff in history, and I believe the
shortest serving first chief of staff that we have seen. But you
also had the national security adviser who lasted barely a
month, you had the White House press secretary who left just
last week, a communications director that only lasted a
couple of weeks, six months of turmoil. Now he is bringing in a
military man he's bringing in General Kelly, to try to impose
some order on that West Wing guy. It is said that the
President doesn't like people that he considered weak. And
they considered Reince Priebus weak. And I believe that
previous prove that to him over the last several days, as
Scaramucci had gone out and repeatedly undermined him most
outrageously so with that New Yorker interview. I know that
there were people close to the President that were urging
Priebus to take a stand to go in and to tell the President that
he needed to fire Scaramucci from what he said in that
interview. One person close to the President even said to me
that what previous needed to do was to call scare Moochie into
his office and to fire him himself to have the Secret
Service takeaways credentials and escort him out of the
building. And, you know, to kind of force the issue like that, of
course, Scaramucci had made it clear on day one that he was
reporting directly to the President. And it seemed that
Priebus was simply unwilling to force the issue to take a take a
stand and that's why ultimately the President decided today was
the day to push them out.
What's interesting is Reg, pre arranged pre press has people
that admire and people like the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan,
but they did not rush to his defense,
but certainly not within the White House. There were
absolutely nobody coming The Prime Minister has struck me,
Charlie, being at the White House all week, seeing the way
previous was undermined, at first, you know, more subtly.
And then finally, with that New Yorker interview, and there was
nobody, you could find nobody in the White House who would step
up and defend him.
Here's here's a question. I have the I think this all ties
together and I'm starting to see maybe will be going on first
question as a journalist in any other election cycle with any
other president, in your opinion, John C. Dvorak, famous,
famous columnist. But you're also I also will give you a
journalist moniker, the if this happened to you, and you were
the journalist, and this guy called up would you print
everything that he said?
Yeah, you weren't? Absolutely. I mean, for one thing,
even if this guy is the new communications director, knowing
that will mean that you will never ever ever again, receive
or anything,
here's the way I see it. And I believe this is what happened.
First of all, if you're just gonna have a private
conversation, you even even if it's your pal, you say it's off
the record, and you say it right away. You don't say, Oh, God,
this is off the record don't do later. Right. But that's just a
bullshit rule. Generally speaking, if your pals with
somebody, you can pretty much say it's off the record anytime
you want. And it goes, okay. So he never did that. Again. He
didn't want to because he wanted this to, he wanted this to go.
There was an unspoken agreement that this was going to be
printed in full cloth. Because it was it was a ploy to get rid
of Priebus and this guy was taking part in it. The writer.
Yeah,
but not not just the writer. But so the mooch?
Yeah, no, the mucha ditch was the mooches idea. Yeah, it was.
He's the one instigating the situation. Yeah. And he did it
on purpose. And he knew the writer and run with it. And
you're right.
I think you're right in here. And here's what I think is
happening. Check this out, read book Ready, get the book, get
the book. Got your pencil. I have a pen. It has to be number
two pencil.
No pencils for the Red Book that cannot be erased.
All right, here it is. John Kelly, currently Secretary of
DHS becomes chief of staff. We have a hole now a DHS. What is
DHS has main mission momentarily. Their main mission
is immigration. And they are a TSA border patrol the wall all
that stuff? Who is Mr. Immigration? Jeff Sessions. So
now instead of firing sessions, we move sessions over to DHS. He
does his stellar job with immigration. We hire a new
Attorney General, who then fires Mueller. Come on, baby.
That's a good one.
I think I think that's possible and it will wage would be a it
would be a mooch setup. I give the guy credit if it happens
that way.
Now, it is obviously not. I mean, there's a reason for
everything. And when Trump is going on about sessions and
sessions, I don't have the clip. But we had it. I think we played
this clip, but it was the clip where sessions is, is being
interviewed if we don't have it. I'll dig it up in the next show.
He's being interviewed. And he says, What do you think about
that? Wow, this is a hurtful. These are hurtful comments. But
I think the President's great this session says yeah, yeah, he
wasn't really offended. I saw him on Tucker Carlson. He's
like, hey, you know, I serve at the pleasure of the President.
Whatever you want is fine. You know, he was not like, just look
in his eyes. He had the same puppy dog. He wasn't like,
yeah, yeah. No, he didn't feel if they did not seem offended in
any way. And he just says this is the way it is. And I think
these are hurtful but blah, blah, blah. I don't care. But
then that doesn't make sense. I give these
guys a lot. I mean, this is going far by give them a lot of
credit. If the if this was if this whole setup was done this
way to fire Muller. The I give them some credit now.
Now the level of involvement that the writer had is
questionable. You don't know if he was in on the deal. And he
was no, no, I
know exactly what you said. You said you would have done it. The
mooch mooch knew exactly that. He knew he would do it. He goes
off he just does what he does. That distracts everybody gets
Priebus fired gets Kelly in the trigger is there boom boom boom
boom, boom, boom, boom.
And guys like mooch are big shot Wall Street guys who do this
sort of manipulation all the time. You watch this show
billion
Well, this guy has his own his own Wall Street show some sad as
Fox Business News cable show but yes if you if you watch billions
and billions I love that show.
Pretty funny. I love it. It's all sleaze ball, you know
manipulation. They don't have
enough Sado masochistic sex anymore, they used to have that
in the first thing,
you know, I found that I saw a couple others that turned me
off. And I kind of liked that part. You got you debt you
because you would just have preferred the show be nothing
but that but that's the point is is not moving the plot along.
Not
at all. It's human nature I was going to do
if it's not moving, the storytelling mechanism involves
moving the plot along without distracting the viewer, the
listener or the reader or whatever is this that wasn't
doing it that was like, why are they doing this? Because it's so
they can get some free equipment that they could take home. Or
they could go back and do a little research with a real
nominate drinks, and then report back. I mean, you could be as
transparent as just bullcrap. Is this how
you critique the black list with the actual show runner? Or the
writer, the writer? Hey, man, move the story along douche it's
no good. Well, actually,
the one thing about the black that they have to say is that
they move the story along, almost to an excess. I almost
complained that they they go to the they get to the point where
they're moving along so much that they're skipping all kinds
of stuff. And what was interesting when I was talking
to him about this, plot holes and the skipping as the story
moves along, I'm telling you, Luke and particularly to the
edges. He's had this look on his face like what what are you
talking about? We've never had a plot hole. I was just talking to
a blank wall here, of
course. But as we know, the truth always wants to come out.
We've seen this time and time again. The flubs are always
where the truths just trickles out as to what someone's really
thinking and what they really mean. And the mooch had one.
And so one of the things I'm going to try to do is speak very
transparently to you and the American people. Get the
President's message out there. I have found in my life experience
with President Trump, when he's out there himself and he's being
authentic self. President Trump. President Trump.
Good try mooch?
Wow. I'm giving you a clip of the day for that. So you've got
to have to clip it. Right. I'm gonna clip it right now.
President sharp clip. I already have pre clipped resident shump.
Wow,
that's going into show I guess. I have one more thing. One more
thing just on the leakers briefly. Yeah, just kind of a
crappy as news report about who one of the main leakers may
be the FBI is General Counsel James Baker is purportedly under
a Department of Justice criminal investigation for allegedly
leaking classified national security information to the
media. Three government officials with knowledge of the
investigation told circa that Baker, a close confidant of
former FBI Director James Comey, is the top suspect in an ongoing
leak investigation. FBI spokeswoman Carol Kratie said
the bureau would not comment on Baker and would neither confirm
or deny any investigation. The DOJ official did say Attorney
General Jeff Sessions will likely be making a general
announcement on the progress of ongoing leak investigations
within the next week. President
Trump Okay. Baker? Baker. Hmm. Baker.
Baker is I mean, it used to be there's no it's not the name
James Baker. There's like five or six politicians and chiefs of
staff that have been around flitting around but this I don't
know who this
one was. He's He's a personal friend and attorney. And it's
not the it's not the Jim Baker that we're thinking of. I think
this is James a baker. Here we go. American government official
Department of Justice serving as general counsel for the FBI. He
also teaches at Harvard Law School this could be the guy
that that leaked stuff when he said he's a professor a graduate
of Notre Dame JD and MA from Michigan taught National
Security Law. The see what else he's doing federal prosecutor
during the Clinton administration, K bad actor.
Anything else you don't see. Don't see anything else. He did
defend the Patriot Act from a legal standpoint. So great guy.
Thanks. Dynamite. Holy crap, John. It's really late. I didn't
realize oh, I'm going to show
my school by donate to no agenda. Imagine all the people

note on Starfleet letterhead, which I must read it the note,
ITM gentlemen, Adam often explains how no agenda runs on
the value for value model. A number of producers have stated
that no agenda is the is invaluable to them. I agree.
This presents a dilemma. How do I return value for something
that is invaluable? Oh, here's my feeble attempt to solve this
conundrum. That said, and he said this is about his attempt

like to revisit two notes briefly. One is Sir dagger J.
Please finish off some karma for my brother John, who struggles
with a very severe and debilitating case of Tourette
syndrome, which I know all about. background story he's
been trying to get one of his doctors to sign off sign this
form confirming that he has Tourette's the form is required
for him to be able to obtain a state issued card for the legal
right to carry CBD low THC oil in Georgia which does work for
Tourette's. Neither is general Yes. Yes. Really? Yes. Why do
you think I smoke it all the time?
That's not the reason you smoke it Well, that's true, but it
helps
neither his general physician nor as neurologists will sign it
because they think it's a prescription apparently I've
forgotten how to read no okay. Yeah, yes definitely karma for
him and I also did want to go back to the unpopular straight
over compensated white male he had a little note here. He says
last episode 950 was the best in a while keep it going. I'm in
dimension are I am snarky and there's a reason why this is why
I want to read this. Yes, I've been and we talked about this
this is what I identified as a third dimension that people
float in and out of it from a or b I've been a successful person
all my life however recently I've come under not ideal
situations I'm now unemployed and because of my age late 30s
My race white my sex male I'm not desirable. I'm not sure my
orientation straight nor field have anything to do with it. I
was however, well compensated my last gig. Apparently employers
freak out about that. I have time on my hands. I don't know
what to do with it. So I spend my time with something I love no
agenda. I've been listening since 2007. And the show made my
regular daily train commute easy. Unfortunately, I don't
have that commute anymore, but I still listen from home. I'd
become a critic of what I see as good and bad. I've said things I
regret, I believe have offended one of you for which I
apologize. Anyway, please discuss what to do about being
in dimension or how to stop the snark. How did we become
undisciplined, franchised? There's a lot to it. There isn't
I
guess I do it does bring up the point that I was trying to
remember earlier, which is what came up in the conversation at
dinner. Okay, good. I get apparently now a Jays boyfriend.
Nik Lewis started listening to the show. And he says, Why does
Adam say the word retarded so much? And I said I did I've not
noticed this. He says even dimension are you referring to
retarded? Yeah, that's, that's why I brought it up. And then
then the the younger generation, the older generation doesn't
seem to care and then you take one step further to the to the,
to the Generation X did like Eric, who not only uses the word
a lot, but he actually acts he can do an act of mumbling and
acting retarded that is always extremely funny, but it's
unbelievably offensive to anybody who doesn't know him. I
would think but he doesn't do he only does around the family
maybe not right. And but he's really good at it. And the older
generation the older millennials, which is they don't
care too much about it, but they know it's not a good word to
use. The younger millennial said said the following, you use
retarded ever in a group setting, you will be out kicked
out of the group forever, anyone would not be allowed back in. It
is the apparently it is the worst word of the of the moment
to use under any circumstances is that they refer to it as the
R word. Yes,
yes, I've heard this. Well,
I did. I've never heard
this. Yeah. Oh, you know, it's a forbidden word. This was this
was one of the first words after the N word to be banned,
retarded. And here's my problem with it. Retarded is not a
medical condition. It is not someone with Down syndrome or
someone with other developmental syndrome or illness or
deficiency. It is I see where you're going. I'm taking the I
liked this word. Because you use it in aviation all the time you
retard the engines. This is a word we use. And it accurately
describes
someone new with it with an old gas engine. Yeah.
Yeah, that's that's the kind of ones I fly with the old gas
engine. The when you start with a shotgun shell. Boom. It's so
Yeah, good point, actually, you can retard the ignition. I mean,
there's a lot of different reasons to use the word
retarded. And someone who is slow, we have to use this long.
They are developmentally challenged. You know, all this,
but no, it's just retarded, retarded, as in back, back slow.
And, um, I don't know, I just wouldn't when they started to
ban that word. And people like we call it the R word. I decided
no, it's a perfectly fine word. It's different if you call if
you look at someone with it, with you know, like Down
syndrome. So I look at that retard. So that's different.
That's different
time. It is different, but I'm just, I am not going to use the
word in because I'm going to accept the limitations put on me
by the younger millennials. To stay in. Just for the purposes
like the cussing thing. I don't like doing that either. I know
you don't and, and it's I mean, I can do it and get a kick out
of it. Oh, oh, John dropped the F bomb. But at the same time, I
will relent ideas wouldn't happen. I was very disappointed.
This was in this I think it was in the 70s late 70s
A lot of people were disappointed by the 70s.
But the late 70s I think different had used I was writing
something somewhere and I use the word gal. And in the late
70s The word was very remote and you could not say Gao and you
know again, women would more likely be like be referred to be
called guys. You know, you guys see a guy's you know, you see
you guys. Well, we're women. There wasn't any of that. Yeah,
so I was I was adamant that the word Galles was fine. And so I
ended up calling Professor Alan Dundas who I took classes from
at Callias number I call him once in a while, it was it had
to do with a newspaper article I written I guess this was in the
80s then so it was in the 80s So I called done this up I said why
did they use it? Because he just didn't do all this kind of
stuff. I said this word you know galau what's the problem whether
the editors that the examiner didn't don't like me using it?
And he said, you know, these things come and go right now.
galss does pejorative, you just don't use it. What's the big
deal? And I was very disappointed in that answer. I
was hoping that he's gonna give me some ammunition I could use
so I could use the word but no, he said no, just don't use it.
It's just what your maybe comes back and maybe it doesn't.
What's different is to make why you why you're taking a stand on
His Word.
And so you caved. I caved the end if you read my favorite
book. It starts off with exactly this example. When It's all the
PC political correctness stuff started when we couldn't call
women broads or gals or chicks or whatever. And guys would be
dudes and by the way, we're called bros now. I mean, talk
about a double standard. I
think that is very offensive. I don't like the word bro. I don't
like it when you use it. I like it when anybody use it or dude,
I used to do a couple of podcasts into it Brian Brushwood
root who use over uses the word he constantly says dude, day
dude do do Dude, I don't need it. Chris Pirillo is another one
who uses do to an extreme I don't like
it. The book is the industrial revolution that's future by the
Unabomber. Yeah, that's that is what his book is about. And he
goes back
it goes way before his book it goes back to but he documents
talks about this is but but things do change. I mean, some
words are stolen from the lexicon like gay. Yeah, gay used
to mean happy or like retarded. Well, retarded has been a group
that now refuses to deal with you because you use the word.
I'll go along with it. Things change. I don't care. Yeah, I
caved.
I'm not saying that you're at fault. I'm just saying that.
That's what happened. That's when it really began. Well, sad
stuff.
It's nothing I can do about it. There's nothing we're lucky to
give you that we get to show on the air and we get to change
people's opinions about the way the world operates. Yeah, well,
I need to back off in a couple of words so I can make sure to
get the message out. I'll do it.
Okay, good. I'm not saying it's a problem. I'm just identifying
it. It's interesting. Anyway, so do we have any any advice for
this guy? Summarize? No, no. Jobs, karma. That's what I got
for jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got
karma.

Jason advanced are all the screens on this particular
episode and drops into relating to a screen greed.
What do you mean screws degree?
I just didn't want that done two or three already today?
That's not good. I think it's I think it's a feature.
It is a feature but not to access. And I do. Yes.
Well, I was gonna I was going to tie into our donation segment
something that something I follow the advertising world sky
guy was in it for a long time. And Procter and Gamble just did
something very important that is of interest. They, yeah, you
know, so the old adage in, in advertising is half of my money
that I'm spending on advertising is worthless. I just don't know
which half that was kind of that's been the joke. Well,
Procter and Gamble appeared to have figured out what half that
is and they decreased. Now they have announced decreasing their
marketing budget. And they spent $100 million less On Facebook
and Google, and they said that it had no impact. By not
advertising, they're at even worse in the fourth quarter,
this is according to CFO John Mueller.
And by the way, this none of this what you're saying
surprises me in the least course not.
And he even hinted what the issue is. In the fourth quarter,
the reduction in marketing that occurred was almost all in the
digital space space. And what it reflected was a choice to cut
spending from a digital standpoint where it was
ineffective. We either were serving Bots as, as opposed to
human beings, or there were placement of ads that was not
facilitating the equity of our brands, ie bots are getting all
these clicks, and click throughs and views. And these ad
exchanges and all this. Look, this is a scam, I'm going to
explain the scam one more time. You set up a content place,
whatever it is a blog, it's fine, you pick a topic,
something that will work with BMW, then you call up or text or
email any of one of hundreds of companies with names like
monopoly.com and weird names. And you say, hey, I need like
10,000 clicks, Okay, that'll be $5 per 1000. Okay, here's,
here's my, my 5050 bucks. And then you go to the advertising
network, and you say, Hey, I've got look, I look at this cool
car site, and you should be putting your ads on it. What do
you do? Well, and we're gonna give you a $7 $7 per 1000 views
of our ad, okay. And then you take the $2, in between gnomes
arbitrage, bang, you stick that in his pure profit outside of
the blog creation. That's what's going on. That's what's been
happening. And I am going to point the finger at Facebook.
They have issues and I keep hearing Google there to listen
to this term. John, you've heard this their traffic acquisition
costs are going up. Come on that's that's code for click
farm.
You Yeah, that is code for click farm. And they had they actually
said that.
Yes. I heard on CNBC. So this would this is another just going
back to our beanie babies, or BB beanie coin. Oh, that's a good
one beanie coin. That's what we should have been called. You're
gonna go with that one beanie coin. That would be what a fan.
Beanie coins. If someone creates a beanie coin, then you know,
Excel everything and move because it's coming crashing
down. This is a big deal. I think this is this is you may
not have read about the story or heard about it. Because why
would anyone want to talk about that in the digital space? But
they've got problems. And it's I think 40% of all of this is
fraud that Facebook and Google do suck at everyone. Everyone
does advertising lies of lie about your download numbers. You
lie, you lie, and you cheat. And it's what everyone does.
Yeah, they do. They lie and they cheat. So how can you expect
them to deliver, like, for example of the new site trying
to compete with no agenda? In our analysis? How can you trust
them? You can't. You can't. They lie. And they cheat. It's their
nature.
Yeah. It's advertising. Look at what they do. Look at what
they're selling. Hello. They lie and they cheat. Exactly.
Was it just something that reminded me others to another
level to the scam? It will, it will come crashing down. But
yeah, the Twitter thing. If you look, there's a website out
there and I don't remember the name of it. And now I feel you
can google and brown and try to find it. This is a website that
looks at all your tweets, and all your Twitter followers and
all the people you follow and it tells you how many of them are
fake. Doctor is loaded with fake and so you write your number if
you get a number that's less than 30% of your Twitter
followers are not bullcrap. Known fakes. Yeah. You're that's
that's good. Most of the time, and I can I won't name names,
but I know some people to get pretty big numbers, and you run
their name because you're gonna run anybody on this thing. 60%
phonies. Okay. Sorry. Come on.
Let's is it Twitter? audit.com. Is that?
I don't know. Maybe.
I'm looking at it right now. I have my score. 69% real? That's,
that's high. Yeah. So I have 30,557 real 13,000 Fake. I think
that's higher than mine. That's why I usually get a little more
reach than you do. When I tweet. We we've compared that.
Interesting. Well, but who gives a crap about that? I mean, what
are those really for what's the what's that there's no benefit.
Is there?
No benefit in what? Well,
I mean, what's the business model behind fake accounts?
I don't know. According to some analysts who looked at the last
election, they say there's a lot of fake accounts that can be
controlled by bots.
Okay. That's right. I understand how it works. You the bot
follows me, the bot sees I have a link. The link is relevant to
the bots database like, Oh, we got to deal with the here's when
we got to click on guys for machine learning, John AI,
that's what we call it. Yeah, machine learning. And then it
goes and clicks on the link.
How about that? That could be I know that I know, there was a
guy discussing this on some show. And he was saying you can
direct the decision to public relations agencies, can you
direct the bots to go like, for example, say you tweet
something, and you always get like 10 retweets, maybe 20,
maybe 100. But with this, with this operation, they can make
that number jumped to like 5000. Right. And so it looks like
you're tweeting something so important, that is 5000 People
retweeting it, and then becomes important and viral and it
didn't know that it'd be kind of shows up on the Twitter. The
little list of what's happening list, whatever they call it, on
the side, trending, trending, trending on the trending the
trending list. And then so now you get something trending that
should be trending. So this is a way of manipulating the club,
the public.
A synonym for Retarded is arrested. That's also a good
word.
Okay, let your multitasking there. Yeah, that's what I got a
couple of clips. I want to get out of the way. This one in
particular, this is a there's kind of a left wing Trump hater.
But he's, he's interesting, because he's a good journalist.
December as bigotry. His name is David Cay Johnston. And he,
what does he work for?
Yeah, he's I don't know who he worked for one of the big
papers, but he's shows up on Democracy Now once in a while.
And here he is bitching about something. And I'm on his side
on this one. This is a discussion of the single payer
idea and Trump's attitude toward it, and trumpeters, you
remember, like 20 years ago, it's all for single payer, but
then this is a very good little back and forth.
We have no Democrat help they're obstructionists. That's all
they're good at is obstruction. They have no ideas. They've
gotten so far left, they're looking for a single payer,
that's what they want. But single payer will bankrupt our
country, because it's more than we take in for just healthcare.
So single payer is never gonna work. But that's what they'd
like to do. They have no idea what the consequences will be.
And it will be horrible, horrible health care where you
wait on line for weeks, to even see a doctor.
Now, this is very interesting that Trump referred to single
payer in this way, because in fact, he hasn't always referred
to it in this way. David Cay Johnston, you've spoken to him
over the decades. Can you talk about the position? He's staking
out now versus what he's told you? Oh, yes. Well, in the past,
Donald said to me, when I asked him once about health care, it
should be just like roads when you need them, you use them. And
he was for a long time, a proponent of single payer, and
the ideas that he's putting forward about single payer are
absurd. People in France see doctors more quickly than in the
US they have better health status. And longevity is
increasing, and the other modern countries of the world that have
universal health care faster than America, if Portugal whose
median income is half that of America can afford universal
health care, with properly examined properly being access
to doctors. How can America not afford it? This is absurd.
That's simple. I can't afford it. Well, who is it? What's it
what's Trump talking about?
I think he's talking about the Australian model. Then he's
mentioned this. I don't have a clip but I know he's mentioned
the Australian model. And the way I understand the Australian
model is There is basic basic health care for everybody. And
so that means your doctor checkups you know, your your
your all your flu shots, all of that groovy stuff. But if you
want to do something, if you don't have something else, even
emergency room, but then there'll be another tier that
you can get insurance for which I think is kind of the stuff
that that the insurance companies want anyway. They
really they want the big expensive stuff that is doesn't
happen all the time. Maybe you will be able to get specific
cancer insurance. I and see I can see a version of that being
his idea. Because then he kind of you know, it's a straddle you
know, you kind of get, you make everybody a little bit happy.
Maybe that's just cut the insurance companies out of this
demo.
This is the problem. The reason why the Democrats came up with
when they were in power came up with Obamacare, as we've
discussed, is because insurance companies are banks, they're
part of the financial system that, you know, they're
investors, they take your money, they invest in other stuff, they
rip you off, they invest in other stuff. They just it's Wall
Street. Democrats are beholden to it and Republicans as well.
That's what Trump doesn't give a shit. He's like, Hey, what's
wrong with you people? And they're all gone I want to get
reelected I need my $2 million to get on the Intelligence
Committee I need this I need that that's the problem. So you
got to give them something you this insurance industry is not
just an industry little little piece of it's often an island of
its own. It is a part of the big system the big money system huge
huge. So they need to be in it they need to be in it give them
what they want. Give them the high margin stuff. Chase I
should run
you should who you thought you were going to
I was too late for registration remember?
All right, they'll daylight $1 share whatever kind of
health care you have. You may need it for this
call us to kill weeds has been detected and Ben and Jerry's ice
cream consumer group says all of the ice cream flavors that
tested chocolate fudge brownie and peanut butter cookie. Those
showed the highest levels of the herbicide the amount of found
herbicide and found in the ice cream are still far below
dangerous levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Yeah, the chemical Glice of fate. The the herbicide
everything Roundup Ready, Roundup. Now, the reason why I
picked this clip, because first of all, what the hell is roundup
doing in in Ben and Jerry's ice cream? Are these guys by any
chance? Big GMO anti GMO guys? That sounds like they would be
that? I would think so. You know, I'd be stunned if they
weren't.
So take Chipotle, who didn't they just have another issue. I
think these companies are under attack and not by competitors. I
think people look at the stock price and go This was also in
billions if you recall, remember? Yes, where the guy had
a juice company and then he had he hired people to go and puke
in the in the juice store. And then the the ride on the day of
their IPO, everything goes up and then boom. And then of
course everyone puts the short in. And then the the puke story
comes out hits the news boom, it's down to almost its offering
below its offering price. I you know, I looked at Chipotle, who
also were the first company to come out and say no GMO and
Chipotle. That's the correlation.
I, you know, this doesn't. It's an it's an American kind of an
American tradition. And I were, I used to Well, I was doing some
research on
those three or four story I just want you to know that you you
will face to yourself. It's not just a story on the screen for
you is
I'm reading about the era of the Telegraph in the 1850s 1860s.
And there was about, I don't know, 10 competitors, 10
different companies, it'd be string and it's like, it's
almost like fiber today. They're stringing up here and they're
stringing up their Western Union was the most aggressive. They
had gangs of people. And they're the ones of course, if you think
of the telegraph, you'd think of Western Union day, the one they
survived and their technique of if you read those old stories,
they would go out and chop down poles. The telegraph system,
somebody put it in it's not theirs, chop it down. Yeah,
yeah,
I have heard these stories, I think than some guy
out there with a with an axe or a saw and they go good team of
people chop down the poles, got the wires, chopped down the
poles, cut the wires chopped on the poles, cut the wires, and
that was the strategy, the growth strategy, and it worked.
Okay, and this is like over 150 years ago. So I mean, this is
not so what you what you're saying is it's patriotic,
really, in a way it's the way that Americans have cooperated
for years. So none of this surprises me. I mean, there was
a special with some guys dropping rats into some store.
And there's this reason Roden thing with the Chipotle. And you
know, I'm not buying it, I think. I think there's some
issues with Chipotle and the fact that people got poisoned by
E. Coli. I think that's the worst thing that can happen to
you. And that was that was sketchy because they can't
figure out how it happened. Yeah, but it doesn't surprise
me. I'm surprised that this doesn't happen more.
And I know people who work at Chipotle manager and they're
really really all over the cleanliness tip. They really
are, especially after the things that happen the E coli breakout.
Yeah. So I'm just thinking, Well, I mean, we should we
should. We should look at the chart really. What is what is
Chipotle Chipotle stock Assemble
I see p t or some cheap EDL maybe I'm not sure I don't
remember it's a really high number the stock price is
just outrageous oh geez I'm looking at $350 Well
of course that was 440 I think at one point I see
all this I'm gonna get the one year chart for a second. It was
a boy named Sue your may 16 496
Yeah, there you go. And it has been pounded down is a beautiful
short but now it's right it has a W formation John W formation
at the bottom just remember kids if you're looking for a store of
value get beanie coin. Got it? I got the whole business plan
already worked out.
Anyway, so I have I've been having doubts about these
things. But when somebody is being attacked maybe you should
just get out and go along with you do really you might be up
against something you can't handle on
your own companies what I'd say yeah, you're right. We're never
going down. Here we go people
going down going down hard. Why that would be terrible if this
was a month related to Monsanto dirty tricks.
Cheese why imagine Okay, imagine well,
but what do you do when you're you know, you're pushing an
agenda and these guys these these jerk offs are out there.
You know, countering your agenda. What do you do? You got
to play a dirty trick on him. Hey, check this out. Oh, so
somebody drops dead too bad.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, killing someone is 50 bucks these days.
Now it's not really expensive. Then we we do we spend a lot
more to kill people in sandy areas. So that's all for profit.
So here's an interesting little clip. This is you know, I guess
Austin is one of the centers of attention. Oh, California has
got a thing going
about the board. Thanks. Your sanctuary city.
Ford Explorer cop cars. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, we
got the Ford Explorer cop cars. Yes, we do.
And they're killing not killing anybody yet. But people are
getting poisoned by carbon monoxide fumes.
I was unaware of the story in my own backyard. Yes, it's
happening in Washington is one of the key points. California
has got a bunch of municipalities and they're just
taking these cars off the road and they don't know what to do.
Because forces the regular explorer doesn't do it. Even
though there's some evidence maybe it's a problem to what
happens I guess at certain speeds or something like that.
The exhaust just somehow gets into the car cabin and it's
of the Ford Explorer. Yeah, I had a Ford Explorer.
Well, you don't have one of the new ones and you don't have the
police version. I
didn't have the good one. Obviously the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, or NITSA says there have been
more than 2700 complaints and 41 reported injuries. Though NITSA
says it does not have any proof the injuries were caused by
carbon monoxide. Ford says drivers of the non police
explorers should not be worried
we've not found elevated levels of carbon monoxide in any Ford
Explorer. While there have been reports of exhaust odors, and
some explorers, those instances are unrelated to carbon
monoxide, which is odorless.
As for the police, SUVs, Ford says it has found holes and
unsealed spaces in the back of some of the vehicles. Wow. Wow,
that's a problem.
It's a big problem. And then it doesn't have that this Ford
representative. I don't know if he's like the CEO or somebody
that came on and said we've heard reports of exhaust fumes
in the cabin, but carbon monoxide is odorless. It's mixed
in with the exhaust fumes. Yeah. So that was a that was a bad
that was like when I heard that. I said, Is this guy kidding me?
He was trying he was trying to play it off as Oh, it's just
some exhaust fumes is not carbon monoxide.
It's what he said. He said do you play it again? You guys says
oh, we've heard some reports of carbon above exhaust fumes, but
carbon monoxide is odorless. Yeah. Mixed in with the exhaust.
Yeah, it
is odorless catch. How stupid is that guy?
I don't know if he's trying to pull the wool over the idiots
eyes or what but the the news media guy should have jumped on
that. This was a national report. Let me just kind of let
somebody get away with saying that's here. It again.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NITSA
says there have been more than 2700 complaints and 41 reported
injuries. Though NITSA says it does not have any proof the
injuries were caused by carbon monoxide. Ford says drivers of
the non police explorers should not be worried we have
not found elevated levels of carbon monoxide in any Ford
Explorer. While there have been reports of exhaust voters and
some explorers, those instances are unrelated to carbon monoxide
which is odorless
well seeing is that was written for him I would say fire your
crisis agency because they suck
that stuff some dingbat, I'm guessing. Hey, how do we change
ourselves to be a sexist term by the way when a man or a woman
no no, no, no, no, no, not anymore, my friend. Nope.
Can't use dingbat. Well, most of Millennials don't care. I got
some Millennials
as a final clip for you by clip to just for you. This is it was
it was a pack and you're not going to hear any of the regular
actors. It was a package on the view that we only have the
package. And it was about kids who are sexually fluid. And I
just wanted to share with you
I use the term bisexual because there really has been no
positive bisexual representation anywhere in the media ever since
like the beginning of time.
I think one stereotype that comes to mind, which has also
probably been perpetuated in the media is that if you're
bisexual, you're promiscuous.
When I first came out to my mom, I came out to her as a lesbian
originally when I was like in 11th grade. And then after that,
I told her that I was pansexual. And then she was like, Oh, so
you can be with men then? And I'm like, Yeah, but I don't like
men romantically. So like, Sorry, mom. We now just clarify
this because you say you're pansexual but you can't be with
men romantically. But does that mean just men sexually? Yeah.
We, okay, so so. Okay, so I identify as pansexual Homa,
romantic. First of all, do you all understand this? Okay, so
basically, it means that I like men sexually, right? But I don't
like men romantically. I find that so offensive. Yeah, let's
turn it around. The whole thing
is offensive. Why don't we get offended once in a while,
instead of letting people push us around with these bull crap
that they throw at us? Where does it come from it has
somebody sit there said this is offensive to me.
It is if you if you use the words, men and women in reverse,
it would be deemed very offensive to me. Yeah, like
Yeah, I really I really? I really go for for men. I can I
just have sex with women. I don't give a crap. I just have
sex with them. Yeah, yeah. Now if I said that's,
yeah, people will yell right actually be the same. You'd be
pansexual homoerotic homoerotic homoerotic or whatever. It was
non binary, non binary. If you flipped it over. It was a guy
saying that. Yeah. That would be offensive. And this is
offensive. This is just as offensive. She's an offensive
person. Yeah. there and it's just in 11th grade, which she
says she's the 11th grade. She said, We're mom. I'm a lesbian.
Yeah. You know? Okay, what's 11th grade that is a junior in
high school as a high school kid. Yeah. Okay. Well, I just
I just wanted to play it for you. Just want you to hear what
was going on? Yeah. Thanks. You're up to date. All right. I
think we can call this one. I got some I got some work to do
at the end. Yeah, to get this one out with some technical
stuff. I had happened. It's okay. All right, everybody.
Thank you very much for listening. Thank you for
celebrating episode 950 with us on 951. That 951 I'm sorry.
Yeah. All three of you. Right. And remember that we do have a
show coming up on Thursday. Divorce. act.org/na is where you
want to go to support us for that. And as usual, It's show
day, so we'll probably have something fun to talk about. It
always happens. Yeah. Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas,
where you don't have to worry about the carbon monoxide
because it's odorless. Please. You're in FEMA Region six in the
common law condo the clue to to be exact five by nine. In the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where there's no common law
about it. And John C. Dvorak. We return
on Thursday right here on no agenda until then, as always
mofos.
