There's too many points. That's
what I'm saying.
Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, September 24 2017. This is your award winning demo
nation media assassination episode Niner six seven. This
is no agenda for addicting Putin will
pop up in Germany and coming to you from the darkest corners of
the downtown Austin Tejas capitol to join star stay in the
kludi Oh, in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're gluten free. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
always felt that's kind of synonymous for fun. Free. Yeah.
It's like I'm gluten free. Oh, you have no fun. Oh, I'm so
sorry.
So they had this a picture that I retweeted on the Twitter's it
said gluten free marijuana was a shop in Oregon. What else was
said? was the name of the shop. They want our cleaners, I guess.
Oh, okay. I got it. I got it.
I got it. Well, we may not have as many live listeners today.
They, you know, Apple came out with iOS 11. Everyone's Whoa,
let me upgrade right away. I can't wait from new stuff from
Apple. This shoe right? Here's a no agenda tip. Everybody, this
is not a good idea. It's never a good idea of always wait for
release, at least this the second the fix release, which is
usually shortly thereafter, usually when people's phones a
break for about three days. And so anyway, so somehow our stream
link doesn't work. And it's something where there's the
streaming protocol have implemented I don't know, so
that we do have a URL that works that has been passed around.
Just one of those things, man TAs.
I know you think after 30 years of this,
how about eight versions of the of the iPhone, you know, but
don't you remember those times? It wasn't working?
It's just astonishing to me. Yeah. Hmm.
Well, let's see. Ah, yes. Ah, excellent. I didn't find there
was a lot to watch over the weekend. Really? Oh of the head
those stupid Global Citizen awards again every year when the
UN
that Yeah, I mean, clued me into it. And then I just,
ya know, we caught we caught it late as well. And it's really
great to watch because it's in Central Park. They've got to
your favorite boys. Were there, Green to Green Day. Those young
guys, you know?
Yeah, those guys,
those young kids you think are going somewhere Billy Joe and
Joe in the gang and Billy Joe and Jack Daniels and which is
great to see them completely sell out to the New World Order.
Because the only people who are in the sun died a long time ago.
The only people who are in the front row are the first 20 rows
are the spouses and mistresses. Children, friends of the elites
who are in as we discussed in New York City with their
diplomatic license plates, and everyone's you know, it's for
them. They're rattling their pearls. Yeah, go Billy Joe. And
they had associated Awards, which I think was also New York.
Then they bring out these great people like Queen Rania of
Jordan, you know, beautiful people who are not threatening.
It used to include the the Bashar Al Assad and his wife,
but they messed up so they're off the list. They're not on
Yeah, they're not backstage anymore. Justin Trudeau received
a global citizen award a 30 seconds of his acceptance
speech,
we need to be every bit of strong, every bit as vigilant in
opposing the scourges of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia
ethnic and religious bigotry, Neo fascism, Neo Nazism, and the
violent extremism of diass that confront us in 2017.
Just like LGBTQ q ia p, that means an acronym. Yeah, I'd say
and I think he forgot. He forgot to say Christianity, we got to
fight against them. At least it seems like that's what's going
on.
It just sounds like a douchebag event.
Yes, it's a total douchebag event. That's what makes it so
great to watch. It's fantastic.
Yeah, I probably should have why I'm sure I could watch it if I
want to. It's probably going to be replayed and I'm sure it'd be
passed around like crazy on the internet.
Ya know, the performances are good. That's fantastic. But he's
not all right. So what else did you do? I
watched a couple of the things that I wanted to catch up on. I
caught up on the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary, which is
Yeah, mind blowing
said that. It looks pretty good. Have
you seen any of it?
Yeah, I've seen pieces of it it looks pretty good. He's he digs
into a lot of the kind of the the story that actually did come
out after once McNamara released his autobiography or whatever it
was, you want to call it. And he admitted that it was a screw up
and we shouldn't have been in the war in the first place. We
didn't know how to get out of it. And I guess it burns takes a
little further with some additional research into the
beginnings of it and how we are Yeah, buddies with Ho Chi Minh
right.
Here's what I didn't know. Have you turned us on years ago to
the Paris 1919 film which I would recommend? Again,
everybody needs to watch this. Paris 9019 And it's about the
negotiations where after the First World War they the
everyone pretty much sat down and said okay, let's divvy this
up. And they looked at that big desert and said all right, he
rock here draw a line. They're wrong. There we'll throw Syria
Hey, Jordan, let's come up with something new country here this
through all kinds of countries together. But that's when Ho Chi
Minh was at that meeting and pass the letter to was at
Roosevelt must remember things Roosevelt passed a letter saying
please, I would like us
in 1919. It would have to be Teddy rose Teddy Roosevelt.
Yeah. But was it was he there? Because it was Woodrow Wilson
was the president. It
was okay. Thank you, Woodrow Wilson, the to the president, he
had a note passed. And he said, I really want independence from
my country. And he really started you know, that that far
back? That's why, you know, of course, he kind of became the
spiritual unelected leader of Vietnam and has Oh Chi Minh City
named after him. But what I first saw uncle Don's, in at
least in the first three, I've seen him a couple times. And I
believe this was the the interviews were taped eight
years ago, seven or eight years ago. So it's not like no fresh,
and they've probably worked on it for eight years. But what
what does become clear from the documentary, and that's why I
want you to see it, so we can get it from your perspective,
just from a different different to general generation, is how,
what we were doing there, and of course, Korea before that was to
stop this scourge of communism. And, you know, you had everybody
showing maps on, you know, even on TV, like, oh, look all this
red here, because you had China and you had Russia and Russia
had all of the, you know, the the Eastern now Eastern European
states, and how dangerous it was. And when you just interview
people, what you're doing this documentary, you see the fear it
was and that's why all we have to we have to stop communism,
communism can't come below the whatever the parallel is there
for South Vietnam. And, you know, ultimately, it was a very,
very tragic number of decisions. But I think it's really good.
Time, there was a thing that was very popular is all these things
you have to read. Every time we turn around, there's something
new that comes along, that becomes very popular and
everybody buys into it. Global warming. Yeah. It was called the
domino theory.
Oh, yes. Yes, it's right. They discussed it. Yeah, exactly. The
domino theory.
Yeah. So they and that was the big deal. Everybody would do all
the news people everybody was we're all in on the domino
theory. And domino theory was that, that apparently, the world
consisted of dominoes. And so and one of them fell hit the
other domino because it wasn't as though they were playing the
game of dominoes. They were playing they stand up dominoes
and make them fall over. Right. It's a different kind of game,
which isn't even a game yeah. And that was the problem it was
the South Vietnam fell then it would next thing you know, it'd
be Papa New Guinea, that would be Australia and New Zealand. It
all turned communist, right. Because the dominant was
right. Well, everybody was all in that's for sure. At least
that's the way it seems from, from this documentary.
Everybody was all in that's the kind of the interesting part,
but I have to watch it. Well, they're starting
to show that now in episode three. They're starting to show
the war protest, but there's a lot of back background history.
And one other thing we were watching and I felt since it won
all the awards, and we discussed it and certainly since Tucker
Carlson said it was a piece of crap. We want we started
watching The Handmaid's Tale. I was very surprised by this. Have
you seen any of this series?
I don't know why you cut out would you just as you said the
name of it as somebody
that's censoring you? The Handmaid's Tale.
Yes, I have not seen it. I know. It's good one. Just a ton of
awards and accolades. And I haven't and I don't know what
what's it about? No, I don't even know what it's about.
Well, the premise is, it's kind of future set in the future. And
the idea Is we women. This is the story. And I've only seen
three or four episodes so I could get this someone wrong.
But the idea is, because of how we were progressing in our
society, women became more promiscuous. And they just, they
didn't want to have babies, I guess they were having, you
know, getting dogs instead, just like Italy. So they became
started become infertile. And then there was some terrorism,
which is implied that it was phony baloney false flag, and it
was martial law. And then cities were blown up, and they couldn't
reproduce. So in order to stay to save the Republic, they have
to have women who can who can reproduce, reproduce all the
time. And you get these classes of women you have the the low
level, they're dressed in red, and they're they're just baby
machines, and they are owned by a family and you know, the guy
has sex with them at least once a month and with the wife,
they're in the room. And so it's
the wife is so it's so it's kinky sex is that with this?
Well, here's
what it's rated at. Because what's interesting is it's
really how women have become and they go through the whole
process. Women have become the the problem, they need to be
contained. And they're in complete slavery, all women
bend. And so what's interesting about this, as I'm watching
this, from a current perspective, like what was going
into this and this lobbying the the resistance, there's, you
know, men are the problem. You know, there's a lot of these
undertones of hey, the way I the way I view it, just watching
this, I'm thinking in the back of my mind, someone's making
this to say, hey, you know, what, if you don't watch out,
men are gonna screw us and enslave us all. The here's what
was interesting, is okay, and so it's, it's okay, it's okay. It's
very interesting to watch. Tina, the keeper. She says, Oh, my
God, this, she's, she's completely into it. And I said,
Well, you know, what do you feel about this? I feel that this
could actually happen. In fact, in this regard to it is
happening. Just look at the EU look at what's happening with
some Muslim enclaves, Italy. So there's a lot of this, it's an
interesting thing. I don't know. I gotta watch the whole series,
and then I can give a better opinion.
Yeah, that's your beat now?
I'll take it.
I'll tell watch one show. Um, I already know. I don't know how I
can sense these. When you get older. You can sense these
things. I already know. I'm not gonna like it.
I think you may be right. Yeah.
So let's say what you've been what you've watched two or three
episodes, three, four, and maybe three or four. Okay. Which one?
Should I watch of the group? Oh, geez.
Now, it's one of these things that it takes a while to set up
and then you're literally
just watch one episode one and then give up?
I you'd have to watch one and two. But I don't know if you can
make it. There are two hours
I probably can't even get through one doubt you can make
and never know I might find some interesting. Something about it
that intrigues me. I just get the sense that I'm not going to
know I don't think I don't think
you will. Okay, well. I'm sure I'm already thinking it's corny.
Yeah.
It Well, it's not corny. It's okay. It's I don't know, there's
things that I'd like you to check it out. I say
I have a definitive clip of the show one which I which I will
use to bounce off my ideas. Okay.
Fabulous. So I've been the research we've been doing. And
one of these things has been who was behind this? No, this Pelosi
protesting the DACA also just watching how people are
responding. You know, we had there were a whole bunch of so
called dreamers who interrupted my age. Yes.
My wife. My wife. Yeah. Listen, she listens to the show. No,
come
on. Well, she had a long drive. Yeah.
So she listened to the she's really enjoyed the Pelosi
deconstruction thing. And she did mention a couple of things.
She says Pelosi as a as kind of a control freak should be
controlling the situation. That's how she got the job of
speaker when she was speaker. And this kind of thing would is
extremely upsetting to her. She says there's no question about
that. And she also agreed that the idea of these kids all
repeating after each other like a group of drones mind control
that mic check she says is absolutely frightening.
She hadn't you didn't hear that during Occupy
occupy was different because in Occupy they had a reason to do
it. They were prohibited from using a microphone PA systems
and and they were there was a huge crowd So to get to get a
question asked, it has to be related in that way. But when
newness in a room where one guy can just say what he wants
instead of everybody repeating after, it doesn't make any
sense. So it's a huge difference.
But we have some some dynamite research from producer Joseph,
on the group's behind this particular protest. As you know,
we were skeptical about the guy in the shirt and tie who has
always scripted stuff. I feel that by them saying they want a
clean bill was seemed like very much talking points.
Professional, some professional signs, you know, there's all
these things. So I want to give you a rundown of that, but
first, we probably should listen to the mainstream media. And
Senator Shaheen, who is from LSU from North Carolina, North. I
think North Carolina and what she thought about these
protesters Now recall that the protesters were very angry at
Pelosi because they didn't want to be used as a bargaining chip.
It was right there. I mean, only had to do is watch the you know,
2530 minutes you can get the story. They wanted. They want
all 11 mil amnesty for all a million. They don't want any
negotiation there for border security to be in the bill has
to be clean bill seemed like a pretty, very, very politically
oriented protest. Here's what the Senator thought about.
Part of what they were chanting there was let us speak, which
she seemed to be allowing them to, but why is she of all people
getting this backlash from dreamers?
Well, listen, dreamers, young people across this country are
frustrated, because they came to the country through no fault of
their own, they were brought by parents, they want to come
through no fault of their own, you got to keep keep on talking
points, people,
dreamers, young people across this country are frustrated,
because they came to the country through no fault of their own.
They were brought by parents, they want to contribute to this
country, they want to go to college, they want to join the
military. They want to get
all 800 all 800 Want to join the military, college,
they want to join the military. They want to get jobs and be
Americans, which is what they are. This is the only country
most of them
trying to pretend. I mean, he's the person who's pushing the
president to help. Right?
Well, she is. And I think the good news is that we've heard
from both Republicans and Democrats who believe that we
need to do something to protect the Dreamers. And that's what
I'm certainly going to continue to work on.
But again, I'm just confused about why they're holding Nancy
Pelosi at fault here. Do they not like that she's working with
the President to do
this. Listen, you'll have to ask them who knows who's stirring up
this kind of animosity. What we know about the Russians in their
interference in the 2016 election, is that they tried to
increase divisions within this country. We saw it again in
Charlottesville. So we don't know what's behind this. But
what we do know is that we need to take action to protect the
dreamers to allow them to stay in now, right
bla bla, Russia, of course, I don't know. We don't know. She
knows damn well who it is. It's the immigration liberation
movement. And we have a ton of research from our producer
Joseph in the show notes with links to all of these groups. So
the immigration liberation movement, that was they were
identified as one of the groups protesting by NBC and USA Today
and Whopper Whopper Whopper WaPo. In fact, WaPo reported the
protesters were identified as members of the local chapters of
rise, faith in action and the California Youth immigration
Alliance. So the East liberation the immigrant liberation
movement was created by the California immigration Youth
Justice Alliance, East Bay immigrant youth coalition Faith
in Action Bay Area and Pangea, legal. Pan ag legal services,
describes themselves as How do you spell panic? Japan, G. I'm
sorry, Pa n g. That's right. I'm sorry. Yeah. What does it what
does that mean? Pangea
and G. You know, I used to know, I have no idea. I'll look it up
Pangea,
a super continent, compromising all the continental crust of the
earth.
Yeah, this is the pen. Yeah, Pangea is it has to do with guy
I think she's the, the great orgasm, the orgasm.
Wait, let's go back to this great Oregon orgasm,
made orgasm, the great organism called Earth. And just
thought about it's a globalist term is what it is.
Yeah, it's a globalist term. It's I never thought of it that
way before but that's exactly what we're
looking for. Here. It is from their About Us page. Pangea was
the name of the earth original continent when it was one
connected landmass. For us. Pangea symbolizes the unity and
oneness of our global community who? Yeah,
I actually wonder
Wait, if the I just want you to know on the on the 990, our G
who gives them money? Oh,
let me guess. One of those Soros operates. Of course, I don't
know why people just don't arrest that guy. Anyway. So I'm
wondering though, I'm wondering how many of these they're youths
used mostly in these organizations, and many college
kids and all the rest, but they've all been ill educated. I
wonder if they really have a clue. What who they're who this
benefits? These globalists, these kids can't You can't I
don't think this child I don't think so. You can't be a
globalist as a child's thinking to yourself, oh, it'd be so much
better yet no borders.
Listen, when you get to the next group that is a part of this
immigration Liberation Front, the immigration youth coalition.
Now they describe themselves as an undocumented and queer trans
youth led organization based in California. Our mission is to
mobilize youth families and incarcerated people to end the
criminalization of immigrants and people of color. We organize
to create social change that confronts the interlocking
systems of oppression, fiscally sponsored by national day
laborers, organization, organ Organizing Network, and DLN,
which is an open borders activist group has received
funding from unbound film philanthropy, the Borealis
philanthropy and the Open Society Institute from George
Soros. There we rise ri S II, part of the immigration
advocates network IA in an alliance of leading immigrants
rights organizations, including the American Bar Association
commission on immigration, the American Civil Liberties Union's
immigrants rights project and the Catholic legal immigration
network. And they receive rise receives funding from the Ford
Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, the four freedoms Fund and the Open
Society Institute. Faith in Action part of the
clinic the fact that Bill Gates has become just a rampant
globalist. I do like that. I
think it's frightening.
Well, I mean, I, I yeah, I do. I mean, I like it, because it
just, ah, okay, everything makes a little more sense to me.
Faith in Action, part of a buffet and a PICO network,
founded by Father John Bowman, Jesuit priest, who was I think
he was from Chicago, came up in the 60s and 70s. Let's see, Pico
was a sponsor.
Our priests in Chicago are pretty close. It was Father
Frank, we had earlier in the show, oh,
gee, that's a long time. You know, I finally heard you know,
I sent a note after watching just a little side note of
watching the Vietnam documentary, and I thought,
Damn, I haven't heard from Sergeant Fred in a long time.
And so I shoot him a note and he gets back to me and like in a
day, he's still alive. Although he his appendix burst and he's
been in the East Coast. He has Agent Orange, all kinds of
problems. Complicated, orange, but he's well in the morning to
everybody. He's, I think he's still in the hospital or in in a
rehab place somewhere. And he's alive and as well as you can be,
you know, living with Agent Orange. Thanks, Obama. Kiko pico
is also a sponsoring organization of the we believe
together health care for all network, and they receive
donations from individuals. Some of the larger donors include the
Citigroup Foundation, the William Randolph Hearst
Foundation and the Open Society Institute. You want me to keep
going, you get the idea?
Everyone should keep going one more time.
All right. The California Youth immigration Justice Alliance is
a fiscally sponsored project of the Mexican American Legal
Defense and Educational Fund, also known as MALDEF and MALDEF
played a major role in transforming the immigration
debate in America fostering male death. Ma L D, E, F. O male
death, no death.
The word was like passe.
Well, it's just an acronym for Mexican American Legal Defense
and Educational Fund. Oh, I
said I made like Def Jam. Well, what is MALDEF have word? No.
Saying that def is in Def Jam Def Poetry. Oh, I got you guys
pass say
hello. 1980s wants its reference back, John.
That's what I said Melvin, was dead. So why would they use it?
Okay, go on.
Valdez funding primarily comes from a core group of
corporations and large frontline foundations, most notably the
Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller
Foundation. And consider a report from viewers like you be
Open Society Institute. Yes, there we go. It just doesn't
stop. So that's who's doing it. It is the no borders. No nations
peeps. Yep. And more on him before I left I want to remember
October 9, ninth write it down everybody October 9. That is
deface Columbus Day.
Face kill. Is that delivery right there. This sounds like
you should go relive the face being it in your case. The face
Columbus Day. Bring it baby to face Columbus Day as beautiful.
And oh, here you go. German elites prepare Russian hacking
claim in case elections don't go their way. I think the polls
closed just as we started the show today. So we'll see if
anyone give us an update in the chat room, then we'll know how
we're doing in Deutschland. I thought it was in a week. No,
no, no, this is it. This is the weekend. That's right now the
polls are done.
Well, I got some I got a bumpsteer then.
Yeah. And
one of our top apps here, get out of here.
Okay, one of our top picks for hits in the past couple of weeks
has been this face bag Russia story. And Facebook finally made
their move.
So they have a clip. Oh, I had a pretty summarizes the thing but
it's the CBS gives us a Central Intelligence Agency clip our
face bag caves was a little longer report if you want to get
to stay on your topic.
Now. Here's what I do. I cut up Zuckerberg statement. The full
statement which was 10 minutes I cut it into little chunks little
bits and pieces. Pieces
of it in here. Sure there. Yeah. This is a there's a couple of
interesting things in this report. This is a Facebook caves
is the CBS report Facebook
promised greater cooperation today in the investigation of
Russian meddling in the US election. founder Mark
Zuckerberg said the company will turn over to Congress 1000s of
ads that were posted on Facebook and later linked to Russia. And
he promised to make political ads on Facebook more
transparent, disclosing who paid for them. More now from John
Blackstone, we can do better.
In a live appearance on Facebook Mark Zuckerberg admitted
Russians found it easy to place election related ads on the
social network without being discovered.
Most ads are bought programmatically through our
apps and website without an advertiser ever speaking to
someone at
Facebook. Facebook has also admitted that its internal
investigation found more than 3000 election related ads
costing more than $100,000 Paid for by a Russian company with
links to the Kremlin. Facebook said the vast majority of ads
didn't specifically reference the US presidential election or
a particular candidate, but appeared to focus on amplifying
divisive social and political messages. The ads have not been
made public but will now be turned over to congressional
investigators. For months. However, Facebook denied there
was any evidence that Russians had paid for election related
advertising. Senator Mark Warner is Vice Chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee.
I feel like Facebook finally has been responsive. But the proof
will be in the extent of the materials they give us next
week. And then will they continue to work with us to
identify other sites that may have originated in Russia.
They've identified one Russian troll farm
the identity of ad buyers should not have been a mystery to
Facebook's as internet security expert Hey, Munna gom they would
know that those
IP addresses are coming in this case and enemy nation state that
often people call Russia
their expert has never heard of something people often call a
VPN
well if you listen to that guy carefully and I think I have an
ISO because they find it so fascinating. Yeah. Yeah, this
this guy so enemy nation state play this guy
is an enemy nation state that often people call Russia.
What else do they call it? They just call it and when is it an
enemy nation state?
It's not officially codified that way as far as I know.
It's he says in the guy was a weirdo by the way. Yeah, an
enemy nation state that some people call Russia. What is
that? What is he what Who is this guy? Why would they put him
on the air?
I saw this report. And in fact, I might set up clip which is
similar which I'm not going to play because you have good
setups here. I was going to ask you if you'd ever heard of this
guy. No. It was just some Jewish
guy. He's obviously on he's obviously on some one of the
lists. So all these stations have their Yeah, but yeah, but
you had
a blackboard in the background with numerical equations on it.
Yeah, right made him look like a real internet specialist
entered an enemy nation state some people referred to as Raj
What else do they refer to it as it because there's only
Apparently some people so not all the people call it Russia so
what would the other people call it your
and fucking again but it is do like it?
Yeah really I mean this guy yeah he just and you know you and you
write about this moving thing he's never heard of that
apparently yeah so older and that's what I would do too if I
was running a game I just make sure to blame Russia for
everything Hey, let's go to part two
from in this case and enemy nation state that often people
call Russia
that I messed that up here. No no no
promise today to make it easier for users to identify who is
paying for political advertising on Facebook and we
can't prevent all governments from all interference, but we
can make it harder.
The issues raised in the ads and the fact that they were targeted
at specific parts of the country has raised suspicion the
Russians may have had some help from inside the United States.
Anthony
John Blackstone. Thanks, John. A special counsel's Russia
investigation has cast a wide net for documents. Could they
include the Spicer files chief White House correspondent Major
Garrett has been looking into that.
Alright,
okay. Go with that. I continue with that is the part three but
which is the dumbest part of this report. But I shouldn't cut
this off sooner when he said that. Yeah. may have had allies
in the United States. Yeah, Facebook. Well, no, that was
their outline about that they targeted in a very professional
way. So they use like a public relations.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, they think it's it's Cambridge
Analytica, that's what they get,
right. The Cambridge analytical are great. They're banned, but I
just want to back up and ask the question. So what? Yeah, we're
the we're the greatest in the world at doing marketing.
Everybody uses our services. The Chinese use our services, the
Russians use our services. Of course, everybody uses our
services to do this sort of thing. Why is that scandalous
all of a sudden,
because Hillary blames them in the book.
On two part three,
special counsel's Russia investigation has cast a wide
net for documents, could they include the Spicer files chief
White House correspondent Major Garrett has been looking into
that.
This Associated Press Photo of then White House Press Secretary
Sean Spicer appears to validate new reporting from the website
Axios that Spicer kept copious notes during the campaign and
while at the White House. Those notes have drawn the attention
of Special Counsel Robert Muller. The portion of Spicer's
notes visible on close up in the picture referred to top
administration officials are be for then Chief of Staff Reince
Priebus wrecks for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. The photo
was shot at an April press conference with President Trump
and wait,
wait, don't tell me that he used POTUS for the President's
Secretary General
did but I'm telling you this is a scandal. He's notebook. He had
a notebook and on it it said RP N. R P stands for rants. prevous
o codes and the photo was shot at an April press conference
with President Trump and the Secretary General of NATO.
contacted by CBS Spicer refused comment on the photo or the
suggestion his notes could become part of Mueller's
investigation into Russian meddling and the Trump campaign
on ABC this morning, Spicer deflected all Mueller related
questions.
Has the Mueller team reached out to you at all discuss that issue
at all? Have you hired a lawyer? I'm not going to discuss that
issue at all.
So you haven't been subpoenaed? I'm not going to discuss that
issue at all. Did you ever hear inside the White House that
Muller should be fired? I'm not going to discuss that issue at
all.
Yes, press secretary Spicer tried several ways to undercut
the Russia story.
If the President puts Russian salad dressing on a salad
tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection.
CBS News has confirmed Muller is likely to request an interview
with Spicer we've also learned that molars and interviews with
White House officials past and present could begin as early as
next week. Anthony
Major Garrett Thank you major
Yeah, the all the only thing that the only reason why they're
running the story in this manner is because Zuckerberg has said
hey, we're working with Muller or we're you know we're
participating in trying to get to the bottom all all this
anything they can do to tie anything to rushes. That's what
that's about.
Those this notebook story is ludicrous.
Yeah, well, there's the pressure there. We would want to put
pressure on
everybody's you're not supposed to have a notebook and he's
supposed to right out are not even mentioned rants, Priebus.
Well, they've always said RP meant rants, Priebus, this is a
scandal.
They don't have a storage entity. They don't have a story.
So they have to report
the fact that he wrote RP for Rance Priebus. And whatever it
was for them secretary said
breaking news heard it is breaking news.
Yeah. I mean, are these guys kidding us with this kind of
reporting? Well, seriously.
And then they have that bonehead on about the IP addresses and,
and some people call it Russia. Yeah.
The enemy nation state. Well, let's listen to Blair's listen
to what Zuckerberg actually said in these 10 minutes, which was
that I was interested in, mainly to see how they're going to spin
this, you know, because advertising is their business.
And we can't make it look like it was too successful. But on
the other hand, we're pretty good over here at Facebook. So
here's the intro, and he's in his office and he's on the
prompter, which he deviates from a little bit here. And there.
Facebook's mission is all about giving people a voice and
bringing people closer together. Those are democratic.
Second, so I can just do a preface. Do you find this guy to
be unbelievably creepy?
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Oh, yeah. That he looks like data from Star
Trek does look like totally the Android
Facebook's mission is all about giving people a voice and bring
people closer together. That's their mission. Those are
democratic values. And we're proud of them.
Bringing people Yeah, I guess it's democratic values.
I don't want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy.
Okay, that's not what we stand for. The integrity of our
elections is fundamental to democracy around the world.
That's why we built teams dedicated to working on election
integrity and preventing governments from interfering in
the elections of other nations. And as we've shared before, our
teams have found in shutdown 1000s of fake accounts that
could be attempting to influence elections, and many other
countries, including recently in the French election. Now, I wish
I could tell you that we're gonna be able to stop all
interference, but that just wouldn't be realistic. There
will always be bad actors.
Don't think that Congress people aren't saying why is that
unrealistic? Why can't you do that? You can do everything
cancer, why can't you do you can stop child kiddie porn. Why
can't you stop this? That's not a good enough answers, Zack, but
that just wouldn't be realistic. There will always be bad actors
in the world. And we can't prevent all governments from all
interference. But we can make it harder, we can make it much
harder. And that's what we're going to focus on doing. So
today, I want to share the steps that we're taking to protect
election integrity, and make sure that Facebook is a force
for good and democracy.
Now what I found peculiar, because if you're going to say
here, here's the steps we're going catch
what you're gonna say, interesting. Yeah. And you, you
stop yourself. And you made that horse sound. I don't know why I
did that. But no.
Thank you. peculiar.
Thank you. I admire that I try to do the same thing.
I'm always working, always trying to create a better
product. Yeah. What is peculiar is that if we were to do
something like that, we'd say, you know, let's do a three point
plan. Maybe we're gonna do this, this and this. Now, he has nine
points. But who? That just doesn't seem like, like the way
to go nine points. But I guess
the nine points for what nine point to stop that political?
Yes. Yes, nine, not too many points. That's
what I'm saying. He's point heavy in this. It's got to stop
on the points.
It's the name of the show.
point point heavy. That is good.
We were actively working with the US government on its ongoing
investigations into Russian interference. We've been
investigating this for many months now. And for a while, we
had found no evidence of fake accounts linked to Russian
linked to Russia running ads. And when we recently uncovered
this activity, we provided that information to the Special
Counsel. We also briefed Congress. And this morning, I
directed our team to provide the ads, we've found it to Congress
as well.
Okay, so they're, they're working together. Everything's
all good. You only have to go down I think one or two floors,
because the director of FBI traditionally has had an office
in in face bag and
so he's colluding with the government. That's fantastic. I
hope everybody loves using Facebook.
Yes. Then if you don't believe that, go look at the Zuckerberg
was the person of the year was that he was on the cover of Time
magazine cover of Time Magazine. Been in the article, then FBI
Director Muller Miller, who we know as personally popped his
head and said, Yeah, I was just in the office in my office
downstairs just figured I'd say hey, he's right there in the
article. Okay. Who they are looking
for. We're looking to find out actors, including additional
Russian groups, maybe they can get
deeper Joe, as a good foreign actor. He's in Russia,
but he is a foreign foreign actor. And what about, are they
going to look into sorrows?
We're looking to foreign actors, including additional Russian
groups, and other former Soviet states, as well as organizations
like the campaign's to further our own understanding of how
they used all of our tools, to these investigations will take
some time, but we will continue our thorough review.
Okay. He's gonna see how they use the tools, we know I use the
tools, he just bid on some ad space, and boom, he was done.
It's like not a big secret here. But all this needs will lead to
face bags, political advertising, transparency
going forward. And maybe the most important step we're taking
is we're going to make political advertising more transparent. So
when someone buys political ads on TV or other media, they're
required by law to disclose who paid for them. But you still
don't know if you're seeing the same messages as everyone else.
So we're going to bring Facebook to an even higher standard of
transparency. Not only will you have to disclose which page paid
for an ad, but we will also make it so you can visit an
advertisers page and see the ads that they're currently running
to any audience on Facebook. We will roll this out over the
coming months. And we will work with others to standard for
transparency, and online political ads. Okay,
good. Yes.
That's fabulous. Ed. But here's the thing, the way I'm
advertising that get they give me a free link.
Yeah, I don't know if it's free. I don't know, maybe. But the
here's what's interesting. He says first he says political
advertising. But then he keeps he drops the political and just
says advertising advertising. So I'm wondering if it's going to
be this way for all advertisers. So you have a page where you can
see all of their ads that are running, even though you may not
have received one of those ads with a targeted message. That's
that's a bonus. He's given it, he's given the store away. For
free inventory.
I want to mention something that came up earlier before I forget.
The CVS report, I think set a date that fake Facebook is
turning over 1000s 1000s they use the word 1000s of ads. I ran
in a couple of newsletters ago, it was many as the ads I could
find, at least from the one group. There was a front for the
Russians. Yeah. And they couldn't come up with 1000 they
only ran 3000 ads that much we know.
Yeah, we don't know if it's 3000 Creative treatments, or if it
was 3000 flights. This none of
it sounds to me if they sent him 1000s of ads. These guys were
words. You know, I don't know what advertiser does this
generally speaking, you especially if you're small
advertiser, and you're only spending $100,000, which is
peanuts. on advertising. You You would take one or two ads or
make a thematic series of ads, maybe five or six of them maybe
10 at the most and you'd run those over and over different
ways. But to do 1000s of ads to to fill 3000 spots. Yeah.
Well in great American tradition by I recall from World War Two
and even World War One propaganda back probably Vietnam
propaganda. Our tradition in America is to publish that and
mock it. Like, look at these idiots later, they're trying
left. There's not our kind of our tradition, our culture.
I think there there's Yeah, some of some of that. But I don't
remember it certainly share them. World War Two. We
certainly were one adds,
we certainly share that laughter the war we certainly show the
public what, what the Jerry's are doing.
Yeah, I don't know if we marked it. I'm not sure I wasn't there.
But anyway, it just seems as these numbers don't make sense
to me is what I'm saying,
Oh, I know this. We don't know anything about the numbers. But
there's there's some other terms that I thought were interesting
and Zuck says shucks, little Zach's little a soliloquy.
Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that we're going to
catch all bad content in our system, bad content.
I like this term. Because that's a subjective. Facebook. It's all
bad. It's all bad content. Well, I just find that a very
interesting choice of words. Remember, this is written down.
This is not you know, someone thought about this essage. So
it's not illegal. It's bad is bad content.
Now, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that we're going to
catch all bad content in our system. We don't check what
people say before they say it. And frankly, I don't think
society should want us to freedom means you don't have to
ask for permission first, but By default, you can say what you
want. But if you break our community standards or you break
the law, then you're going to face consequences afterwards.
Slave, we won't catch everyone immediately, and can make it
harder to try to interfere.
I wonder what he sounds like if we throw him to the harmonized,
I can do that. Off to do that another time.
Yeah. Do ya do it a separately? You're this that way?
Well, now now you're kind of forcing me to do it. No, I
haven't. I haven't done this. This snippet. Yeah. What is it
called? It's called the ebb and tide. I think I have to look
under harmonics. I'll do it on one of the next clips while I
play this one, which is Oh, yeah, here he is being very
specific to journalist I believe, to say, hey, you know,
you might want to go check out and see what's happening with
the other guys that might be fun.
Now, it's important that tech companies collaborate on this,
because it is almost certain that any actor trying to misuse
Facebook will also be trying to abuse other internet platforms
to like, what
a Google
I saw nothing on Google.
Yeah, no. NPR. Sorry. And pro publica. As we played on NPR,
they went in and they looked for how to burn Jews how to kill
Jews. They looked on
Google. Yeah, but that would that was just under general
searches, wasn't it?
That was yes, it was AdWords. It was AdWords. And Google was
automatically creating these categories, based upon searches
people do, such as how do we burn Jews?
Yeah, but there was no advertising that came of it.
That wasn't exploited. Let's put it that
way. Oh, they know, it was one of those. Hey, we did this. What
do you have to say about it?
Okay, go on. All right.
Okay, what do we have Up next we have is about his tools,
we will also create more services to protect our
community, while engaging in political discourse.
For example, we're looking at adapting our anti bullying
systems to protect against political harassment as well.
How does that sound? I think he sounds better.
Well, he, oh, he gets whatever you do, he's gonna sound better.
So listen to that clip, again. We'll also create more services
to protect our community while engaging in political discourse.
For example, we're looking at adopting or anti bullying
systems up to protect against political harassment as well,
political harassment, you might as well shut down face bag. Are
you crazy? So you'll have no dude, no conversation? Oh, he's
a bully, because he said something about my team. Yeah,
it's no good. That doesn't make any sense. Why two more clips
here. Yes, about the elections,
we've been working to ensure the integrity of the German
elections this weekend from taking action against 1000s of
fake accounts to partnering with public authorities like the
Federal Office for Information Security to sharing security
practices with the candidates and parties. We're also
examining the activity or category removed, and we've not
yet found a similar type of interference effort in Germany.
Yeah, turn that thing off. You're gonna
hate it eventually. So he says call Joey says they found no
problem in Germany, none. But they got their eye on it. They
are the protectors of all elections. And then finally,
let's just remember that if you got a message Russia, if you got
a message that you want to spread face bag is the place to
be whether you're doing ads or not.
Now at the same time, it's important not to lose sight
of some of the more strong he's worked against us a lot to
before there would be further about to say something awkward.
I don't know if it's a tale of but it's a tale of some sort. He
says he swallows in his as a noticeable noise he makes right
at the beginning. As he goes into his Spiel you hear him
swallow. Now at the same
time, oh, God, Oh, if you have your earbuds in it's really
disgusting. I want to crank it up when he does that swallow.
Now at the same time, it's important not to lose sight
nasty
of I could visualize his Adam's apple going up and down.
Now at the same time, it's important not to lose sight of
some of the more straightforward and and larger ways that
Facebook plays a role in elections. Okay, pay attention.
These effects operated much larger scale, so 100 times or
1000 times bigger than an ad than what we're discussing here
today, then an ad he can't even say it. Many of these dynamics
were new in this election, and at a much larger scale than had
ever been seen before it history at a minimum of five
flub at a minimum. Yeah,
that was he threw that in because he was adamant as
something wrong with the prompter,
and at a much larger scale than had ever been seen before it
hits straight up at a minimum. And they were much larger in
scale than any of the interference that we have found.
Now, I understand why he's saying this, but it also opens
up the door for him. Because what is what is against the this
Russian firm who bought these ads in rubles? What is against
them? Just handing out your one of the 3000 pieces of creative
work and having them posted? Free? That's where the
multiplier effect comes from. He said it himself.
Let's go over this again. Now what is he talking now? He's
talking about the viral aspect. Yes.
He's talking about how if yes, I would say it's about virality.
How face bag, Bubbles things to the top or can or identifies
them, whichever one you want to choose. And that that is 1000
times more powerful than what we're talking about here, which
is advertising.
Right. But the advertising can go viral. I mean, anything can
Yeah, you can't that's uncontrollable. Yes. I don't
care what anybody thinks. Right.
So so he's, he's thinking on one hand, he's he's certainly
telegraphing how powerful they are. On the other hand, hey, you
know, we know that you may not do it by buying ads. Maybe
you're just going to make memes go viral. And that's bad
content. Can you imagine anything
about it? So I crank out me? I did a bunch of memes the other
day? Yeah. Put them on Twitter. Yeah. And none of them took off
your IV machine, my friend. They're all about
no agenda. So it's like, watch this No, no agenda. Everyone's
like, no. But how do you do those things and memes occurs?
We want to differentiate to anybody out there, memes and
memes. Memes are a structure that that is a kind of becomes a
common place idea. Within the society. memes, those images
that have a bunch of words on the top and the bottom is a
punch line. Those have been named memes. Yes, but they're
not the dictionary definition of a meme. Right? And we have to
make sure that so when you hear the word meme being used, you
should be able to, in context know what we're talking about.
I'm just throwing that in, because I've always found it to
be annoying. That the photos those pictures with the third
column means that they're called me.
You cannot ask a millennial today. What a mean isn't get a
different answer. They'll have no idea.
I not sure that's true. I'll ask it to dinner table tonight.
Okay, I'll have four of them here.
All right. Give it a shot. God, do we need to get cut out early
today so you can rest up?
So I can take some phenol BB?
Yeah. Bone up. You're gonna need it.
Anyway. Yeah. Okay. Onward. Anyway, that was my little point
is when to make it as in this. Yeah.
So I think that what he's saying is, we're all powerful. And
we're gonna be on the lookout for bad content, and we got your
number, and we're still the place to be if you want anything
to be to seep into the lexicon. today. Yeah, he's probably
right. That's pretty much it. Pretty much it.
Well, so what we've gotten out of this whole thing is nothing.
No, then it's still a very convenient excuse. And, you
know, face bag is kind of covered right now they are
colluding with the government.
As this is new. We know do not know this is early days of our
show. Well, they're
partially funded by Intel in Q tel. So yeah. And they
purchased. Yes, they're spook outfit.
Yeah, that's the easiest way to go. Yeah. Hey, a one liner that
was in person of interest. The kind of creepy TV a series that
was on a very good, well written show that we're Finch says, oh,
yeah, we know, we created it. He was working for the government,
the time that they created Facebook, just so the public
would donate it give us free intel on themselves. So he
didn't have to put together any of this information. So it was a
funny line, which we're doing. Yeah.
T's in the B Block. I have a little rundown of the Graham
Cassidy bill for those who are interested. Took some time this
weekend to read it to mark it up and tell you what's up why
there's such problems or not.
I have a button here just short locally. That says NYT reports
denied we use the word dream.
I think I mean drone probably ah that play.
If you want to change topics, this would be a good way to go.
The New York Times reports that Trump had minutes stration is
preparing to dismantle rules limiting CIA and military drone
strikes and commando raids outside of conventional
battlefields. The plan would remove so called high level
vetting of proposed raids and drone strikes, and would allow
for the assassination of low level foot soldiers.
Wait a minute, who ain't good drone? You
in New York City now?
Ah, really?
What happened to Michael Hastings? Right.
Yeah, well, that was Los Angeles. Yeah.
Outside the battlefield. That's
fantastic. Well, you know, in Euro land, this
is the way I wanted to talk about this just a second.
Because military intelligence has supposedly bumped the CIA
out of the White House, which is why we're getting all this great
material from off the media. Do you have you ever thought that
maybe the military has always been a little irked by the CIA a
little on military operation running the drone program?
Yeah. I think
and now if this comes along this idea that here's the, you know,
all this is proving to me if we're going to go with the basic
thesis that that we have military intelligence in the CIA
battling against each other. This is starting to prove to me
that the CIA as boneheaded as they might be, might be more
competent than that military intelligence for now. The
military intelligence folks have they're the ones behind this
look
at who was running the joint clapper. What can you
well, clappers long gone. Yeah. Clapper had nothing to do with
this. No. But somebody did I mean, who dreamed this idea of
let's take the start just droning people randomly around
the world. Is this make sense to anybody?
foam finger number one, America? Yeah. In Britain, armed special
forces troops are being deployed on the underground and I've been
told I've been given shoot to kill orders for terrorists. Oh,
no. Yes. Members of SHS and special reconnaissance regiment
had been told to target terrorists who are on trains,
buses and planes. It is believed that some of the troops will
patrol the busy tube network in the capital and pairs will be
disguised as couples. They will be armed with Glock nine
millimeter semi automatic pistol so they can take down potential
government and suicide bombers.
I bet you they're so identifiable. It's hilarious.
They
have the little bag and a bucket bomb. We all know what they look
like. It's easy.
I hope you're using fragmented ammo. There.
We've we've we've we've gone full military all over the
place. This is fantastic.
Yeah. It is fantastic. Oh, man. So I had listened to Clinton. On
the she was on book TV.
Ah, oh, our favorite. I'm surprised I missed it. Yeah,
it was I would say replay it to him. He just probably didn't
watch book TV this weekend. No book TV, which is a C span
operation. They had the periodic cleanse on the road. I mean, she
is really out there. And she's changing her story a little bit
here and there. And so different kinds of things. She says I
mean, but she was at some giant Theater in New York filled with
women. And a few men. Grade B men
are, are RT toss aways,
toss aways, and they're just going nuts. And she had a few
new things to say that I thought were kind of interesting. And
she talked about, she listed off for us. This is just pretty much
like an internal memo for us. But she listed off a slew of new
organizations that stemmed from the 2016 loss. And I think we
should just play this clip and listing a slew are
surrounded by good, you know, good supporters, friends,
family, people who can tell you the truth. You know, like Alyssa
start off saying she told me a terrible idea to write this
book. I am grateful for that. She's a friend. And you need
friends who tell you when things are good and when things aren't
so good. I think it's really important. So I've got this new
organization called onward together that I've started and
and really, the primary purpose is to support groups that are
recruiting young people, especially young women, training
them funding them in warfare also highlight and lift up
wonderful groups like indivisible which is leading the
charge to keep the keep our attention where it needs to be
like we've got to stop this latest def
indivisible That's the Morgan Freeman group, John. Okay, so
Rob Reiner group. We got to support them. We got to support
Hollywood actors.
Rob Reiner group was not in Division. Oh, no,
you're I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're right. You're right.
You're right. Who was indivisible? Again? I don't
know, if we talked about him.
Yeah, no, we did. We talked about a couple of these views,
but not all of them. Okay. Um, so I just want to find out who
they
are, which is leading the charge to keep the keep our attention
where it needs to be like, we've got to stop this latest def
attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act that is going on. So I
think there's a lot of good work to be done. And onward together
is really interesting, because that was you and Howard Dean,
you met with Howard Dean earlier this year, our friend Judith
McHale, who were so instrumental in really thinking outside the
box about how to bring young people get them involved, engage
them support them, because they know a lot more than people like
well, I mean, it was so great after after the election, one of
the things that kind of, you know, got me out of bed and
moving again, were the stories I would hear people would call to
others, this new young group that went to your campaign
staffers has started called run for something and it's aiming at
recruiting more young people or there's a group, there's a group
called swing left, they're going to try to flip the house or a
group that I've worked with before emerge America, which has
a great record of electing women are Color of Change, which
focuses on African American, young people, getting them into
politics and doing some of that work. So I felt like there's so
much we can do, because at the end of the day, and I just have
to say this, and hope you help me figure out how we're going to
make it happen. Everything we do, we can we can write books,
we can speak out, we can go to protests, we can recruit people
to run for office, but if we don't get people to vote,
starting in Virginia, and New Jersey, and then in 2018, we're
not going to turn this around.
Yeah, 2018. It's a part of active blue ball. Those
groups are part of active blue, which is kind of a central
clearinghouse for these little subgroups. And they do a lot of
change. And yeah, they handle all of the lean left. Yeah, they
handle all the donations for those outfits. Yeah. Well,
that's like a bunch of board people looking for one that you
know, a rematch. I don't think you can do it with this. This.
It's it's scatterbrained. They have all these little
organizations all kind of trying to do the same thing, which is
good for Democrats in 2018. That's all what it's all about.
Yes. And I won't get the vote out. No, no, you won't get the
vote. They can't do it that that's just something this is
fundraising.
John, this is fundraising. This is fundraising.
Good was one of the best.
I've been reading I haven't read a hell of a lot more since the
last time I put it down. It's not really like a page turner.
I've been reading more of the book as has Brian seltzer water
from CNN reliable sources, their media deconstruction show. Turns
out it's the press is at fault.
In the book, she makes a remarkable assertion. She says
that many political reporters, quote, cannot bear to face their
own role in helping Elect Trump, for example, by giving her
emails so much coverage, and by giving him so much airtime are
Clinton's critiques fair? Joining me now an expert on the
Clinton beat Amy Jozek. She was the New York Times lead reporter
covering Clinton's campaign last year. She's now on leave from
the paper working on a memoir about that experience. Amy,
great to see you.
Is that typical for a young reporter to go on leave to write
her book? Yeah, from the New York Times. Yeah. Oh,
you can do it. They'll do it. Okay, good. That experience like
a vacation with his unpaid and but you're not fired. You can
always come back when you want. When you dealt with the book,
usually given the timeframe. So they have so the editorial guys
can say okay, he'll, he'll or she'll be back in May. And we'll
cover for it till then. See you. Thanks
for having me.
together at the New York Times. I know a lot of folks in the
press have privately talked about what this campaign was
like. But do you think she's right? Is Clinton right? That
there hasn't been enough soul searching about the stresses
response narratives?
Again, we haven't done enough soul searching.
But I agree with Hillary Clinton that for an industry that
thrives on investigation and interrogating others, we're very
bad at scrutinizing ourselves. And you know, there definitely
could be more soul searching about our role in 2016. That
said the way she presented in the book is a little bit like it
was our job to get Hillary Clinton elected. Now our job is
voters what
it was. Yeah, you failed. She's right. He's paid you millions
and millions of dollars for political ads, gives you all the
interviews gives you the access and you screw it up. You didn't
do your job.
That's what I believe that's what Clinton was saying. And I
think the reporters kind of know that and they're all that you
can, you can ask them to a tee. Especially at the New York
Times, they all voted for her. And yeah, they gave they gave
bright Trump got the end still is getting the most coverage.
But it was all negative coverage is all critical. Trump's an
idiot, Trump did this, Trump said that Trump grabs pussies,
on and on and on. And now she's just going by the basic Well,
75% of the coverage was about Trump, it was all negative
coverage about Trump, which is just what you want here. If
you're Hillary, you think
no, as it turns out, there is no bad
press. Yes. That's what the old saying was. And I guess it's
true.
Only your your obituary, you might consider that as bad
press. But otherwise, it's all good.
That said the way she presents it in the book is a little bit
like it was our job to get Hillary Clinton elected. Now our
job was to inform voters
like him. He's acknowledging it. That was a good catch for you.
Yes, you got me? Yeah, we did fuck that up didn't wait.
A little bit like it was our job to get Hillary Clinton elected.
Now our job was to inform voters about their choices, and how
those choices would impact their their lives, whether it was
about Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump or any other candidate. I
think that is where we could have done better and I think we
could do some soul searching
because this resolves everything.
What does that even mean?
soul searching about them not fulfilling their end of the
bargain.
I mean, what is it what is it really mean? What What how do
you do soul searching?
Well, if you do soul search looking for your soul, while
usually you are looking to answer I'm
asking this because it's a phrase from the chase Shea's
soul searching is a phrase from the chaise the I don't like the
word the term I don't know what it means is a mean you're
searching for your soul.
I can give you the definition deep and anxious consideration
of one's emotions and motives or of the correctness of a course
of action involving more expressing deep consideration we
can look for the origin of it if you really want to do it.
Can't you can't you just say we need to do some analysis of what
we've managed to do and but managed to follow up? Yeah, but
you know, why? Why What do you care what they say it CNN for
Christ's sake?
Sorry, I didn't mean just just this phrase from the chaise we
have to discuss these once in a while
first recorded in 1605. But it doesn't say why. Why why why?
Why? I mean, how did you come up with this people? Certainly
someone knows where this comes from?
It's well 1605 goes way back you think I think it has to do with
some some sermons or some Biblical stuff that was going on
I could be it because that makes sense because you use the word
soul.
Right? But but in this context, she's saying we fucked up we got
to do some soul searching about it. That's how you use the term.
Yeah, I got does like not that you're going to be punished but
you're never really going to admit it, but I'll do some soul
searching. Okay, I'll do better next time. I think that's what
what is implied. And you're right so it was their job to get
elected and they failed. And with that, I'd like to thank you
for your courage and say in the morning to you John C. stands
for Clinton C span watch your Devora
in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the marine all boots on
the ground feet near subs in the water and all the days and
nights out there. Yes. In
the morning to everybody in the chat room. No agenda stream God

Although I guess we'll put another proper link in there for
the new broken thing that Apple broke. Thank you very much. And
in the morning, Nick, the rat who brought us the really one of
the more I look at it, the more thing it's one of our best album
art covers ever. Uh, which is Hillary in the polar bear suit.
With the Trump tag, it really is a nice piece of work. I almost
want that on my
truck. This the Trump tag that made it
does it? Yes. That really that really does it because
she's going to go out and tag polar belly bears with with
Putin.
It can have so many meanings. Yeah.
He's gets inspired once in a while. It's very fun. And When
Nick
is firing on all cylinders is he's He's really He's pretty
hard to beat. I mean, we're kind of grooming him to take over the
show, aren't we?
Can you imagine?
Yeah, I can actually.
He does his show.
Let's thank a few people who have supported
us do that. Let's start with we didn't get three Associate
Executive producers but no Have no instant notes or anything so
it wasn't really a good showing concern. We had a gimmick going
on.
Yeah. Which also failed, failed miserably. I see
why it failed but didn't fit it was we got some people
we live in the world hate along the world didn't end we live.
Matthew Trimble came in from Camp Hill, Pennsylvania $333.33.
And he said in a very lengthy PDF file, which I'll read part
of my donation at 333 serves a couple of purposes. You see back
on the 26th of June, my family's home caught on fire and burned
to the ground. We lost everything and to make matters
worse, it was the day my wife immigrant emigrated to the
United States. We got married on the 23rd of October 2015, down
in her home country of Dominica, a small former British colony
not to be confused with the Dominican Republic. And began
just got hit. I think Dominica got blasts was a horrible,
horrible thing.
Have a good bay rum and began jumping through the hoops so she
can come up with and live with me after a year and a half of
painstaking paperwork, which adda would know about. Tell me
I'm at red tape. We finally got
through the border of the Mexican border and stay. Yeah,
it's much better.
And government read then cheaper,
cheaper. Yeah. Get away with stuff.
We finally had our immigration interview on the 27th of March
and was approved for residency A few days later, we purchased our
tickets to arrive on June 26. We drove back from JFK Airport to a
small town in Pennsylvania I discovered that the baseboard
heater shorted out and burned our home to the ground. We spent
the next two months in a hotel struggling with the insurance
company but finally on August 15, we received the check from
the insurance company and we moved into a brand new townhouse
three days later nice during that whole struggle of people
have no agenda social outcome are amazingly supportive.
sending money items and huge amounts of karma. Yeah, they
helped out more than I could say was much more than material
things. So first and most importantly want to say thank
you to all the people who donated money to the GoFundMe
that a fella no agenda social.com Citizen started for
the fam about that. This is my first ever donation I needed
thorough D douching. Yes, here. You've been D deuced.
I have free loaded off your superb mental hygiene product

have happened to me recently, because of no agenda, I realized
I was being a complete douchebag for not donating sooner. And by
the way, once more to Mother
Mother. Mother Ship boarding pass. Yes.
He's a third of the way to knighthood. He's going to
reserve the name. Sure. And he's got a name night of Dominica.

Yeah, I didn't pronounce it. Right.
You talked to many how to I think. Okay, hold on. Listen
again. Why does not plan here we go. domani domani how to

as a douchebag because because he hit me in the mouth is fine
in 2014 has never donated also Steven Trimble Oh yes. My little
brother because I hit him in the mouth about a year and a half
ago and he's freeloading to thank you for courage
respectfully, Matthew.
Man, big karma to you and everybody who helped you out
there no agenda social.com That's cool. I'm happy that
happen. You've got karma. Another no agenda? Happy story.
Except for the birdhouse. Oh, there's that Sir Thomas of Great
Bay $333 donation for sure. Domina recently bought a 1980 fe
985 Mercedes Benz 500 SEL which by the way, even as an old used
car isn't nice. That's the
bobby Ewing cars at the convertible the sports car.
It might be think it is and while driving it home I noticed
that the 500 series is just all good cars. While driving home I
noticed that the trip odometer became stuck at three, three
3.33 miles it means he has to donate and he did. Requesting
that's the
rule by the way. Just so you know the rule. It's the rule. No
rule.
Anyway, it was common for a new human resource. Yes.
You've got karma.

letter sent to Adam.
It's been a great it's been great listen the past few months
especially since the recent Hillary but slam since you're
one of the few truth casts out there I feel another
contribution as well deserved. For Adam sake, here's my clip
requests. Geez, I should have read this before I guess he
wants Hillary Cough, cough and then bullshit cheese. I gotta
find out that my donation of 293 25 is a triple boob at oh

of money every month for crappy customer service. I also used to
think that the nickname for a TV the idiot box was a derogation
against the watcher but since I've been listening to the show
more I realized that comes from the 82 project from inside the
box plus I'd rather support podcast is overcome casters nice
when you guys recently discussed it the new media never follows
up with any of their stories it got me thinking as to why I
believe this is because they don't want to follow up and give
the real story because it allows them to go back and use the
partial story and results in memes to their advantage. You
can't rewrite history if you've never reported correctly in the
first place please write that down. Keep up the great work
keep hitting people in the mouth thank God for the electoral

You've got karma.
That includes our list of wonderful list of executive and
Associate Executive producers for show 967 Yes, indeed. And we
do have another show coming up next Thursday. We need your
help. Yes, divorce act.org/and. A for our for our show coming up
on Thursday. This is our value for value model. And the way we
do it is that you think there's some value and we went to
Kingsman Last night. Oh,
you saw the new movie? Yes. And I see the original movie I did.
Okay, but I think you have to see the first movie to really,
to really appreciate it. Yes. Yeah. And guessing I haven't
seen the second movie, but I'm guessing. And
it was IMAX. But here's a good tip. If you live in Austin, or
in the if you're in Austin, the balik Museum, which is the Texas
State Museum has an IMAX theater. And it's been there for
probably 10 years, maybe, but no likes. But no one used to go to
it because they would they did not allow any food or drink now
they still don't have alcohol, but you can get a soft drink and
popcorn, and a small theater. I think it's 121 seats. Maybe the
sound is unbelievable. And it's just it's an all round,
fantastic experience. Teenagers
play the Kings been taught to in the museum in the museum,
IMAX theater. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And that must
have been cool. Because when you're in a small venue at that
giant screen, it's quite impressive.
Then I liked the movie very much. I think that's the James
Bond franchise was set to be up ended. And I think they've done
a very, I think it's done well, the new one. So they've got a
franchise. They got all kinds of dealt. And John's in this. I
mean, it's very, very funny. Very, very funny. But, you know,
so it's $16 Tina took me out. So you know, 32 bucks. And I really
enjoyed it. But you know, maybe three hours of no agenda is
equal to that kind of entertainment. Maybe it's more
maybe it's less. That's how we want you to think about it. So
now you get three hours.
Yes, yeah, we get but we do that twice. We do it twice a week.
It's like going to the movie twice a week. Exactly. Exactly.
Well, wait a minute. We do it like, but it's different every
time. Yeah,
it's not the same movie. And I we have surround sound. surround
sound.
And now we're gluten free.
Or gluten free. Remember us for the Thursday show, please.
vote.org/a That's right. You've got a new angle. Hey, I'm gonna
propagate the formula. It's gluten free.
Our formula is this. We go out. We get people in the mouth
oh man, Tina's cooking something I can smell it. Smell like
smells like potatoes. being cooked, cooked. That being
cooked. Hey, so I promised I have a little rundown of the
Graham Cassidy bill. This is for those of you who are. This is
it's kind of a fun little circus that's taking place once again
here at the bill is not very different from anything I've
seen coming out of the Republican camp. But they're
just couple things. I want to run down to see what the
objections may be. And it turns out that not only will Murkowski
from Atlanta from Alaska probably not vote yes, although
she's not going being put under pressure. And even though it's
the Graham Cassidy Bill Lindsey Graham, one half of the
introducers, who is but buddies with John McCain, McCain is just
not having any of it breaking news
in the 11th hour Republican effort to overturn Obamacare.
Senator John McCain says he will vote no. On the new bill being
considered
he is a no on the Graham Cassidy health care bill. It puts him at
odds with Senator Lindsey Graham, who has often been one
of his fiercest allies in the Senate.
There was no Senator John McCain says he will not vote for the
Graham Cassidy bill. He just issued a statement saying in
part quote, I cannot in good conscience vote for the Cassidy
for the Graham Cassidy proposal. He cites the need for regular
order and hearings on the bill.
He also said that he needed to see what it was going to cost
which I found very odd because the numbers are in the bill as
of 2020 136 billion and the way this works, the idea behind the
Graham Cassidy bill is the federal government is going to
provide up to $200 billion in 2026 to the states for them to
implement their own local markets local insurance market
so that's being done away with this you know the the demarcate
the racketeering really where the insurance companies have
regions and they're not allowed to compete in any of those
regions. So the money's right there. I don't really under I'm
gonna have thoughts and we'll get to that in a minute why I
think he's voting no or he says he's going to vote no. But let's
just look at this bill for a second. Just a few things that
pop because no one's no one's discussing what's in it. I don't
understand once again. You know, Jimmy Kimmel has got a big one.
are about it about pre existing conditions. And I it's pretty
much what we've seen with some some noteworthy exceptions or
things that jump out. So we have any individual was overpaid and
premium tax credits would have to repay the entire excess
amount. I'm not quite sure why that's in there. But it's right
at the top, is there a problem with people getting paid too
much in credits?
Did I know. So either, I
don't know, either. Section 103. And this was expected
modification repeal of there's a small business health insurance
tax credit. So that's being taken away, the individual
mandate, penalty is being removed and make it makes it $0,
retroactive to 2016. So you paid in 2016, you'll get your money
back. Same for the employer mandate. And there's a new
subsection that would help create the market based program.
And that would have funding available to all 50 states and
the District of Columbia as of 2020 through 2026. Under the
program, a state will be required to submit an
application to get this money, that's a lot of billions of
dollars. And they have to follow the format of the grant. And
they will only be able to use the payments allocated from the
program for one of the following activities. One is to establish
or maintain a program mechanism to help high risk individuals
purchase health benefits coverage, including by reducing
premiums for such individuals who have or are projected to
have high health care utilization, as measured by cost
and who do not have access to employer sponsored insurance. So
there's wording in there, although we don't know the
criteria that would stop pre existing conditions. Establish
maintain a program to enter into arrangements with health
insurance issuers. So that's your your market your local
market, to provide payments for health care providers for the
provision of services specified by the CMS administrators can go
directly to federal government approved providers of health
care, not insurance, but health care, also to provide health
insurance coverage by funding assistance to reduce out of
pocket costs. So copay coinsurance deductibles for
individuals with individual health care insurance. So that's
going to help to establish or maintain a program mechanism to
help individuals purchase health benefits coverage, including by
reducing premium costs for plans offered to the individual
market. And up to 20% of the funds can be used to provide
health insurance coverage for individuals who are eligible for
MediCal Disaster Medical Assistance under a state plan by
establishing and maintaining relationships with health
insurance issuers, so seems like states, here's your money, as
long as you qualify, then you can take everything. Chip will
be kept in place, the child health care insurance program,
per state chooses provide coverage with policies of actual
we don't need to talk about that. And the final thing, which
was very clear, in this, they they could have just said no,
none of this money will go to Planned Parenthood. And no.
Instead they have this whole paragraph about what the money
specifically may not be used for. And let's see if I can find
it here. Here we go. Prohibited entity. Here federal payment to
States federal about prohibits federal funds made available to
a state through direct spending for being provided to an entity
as defined, one designated as a not for profit organization by
the IRS so none of the money can go to nonprofits. I think that's
Planned Parenthood, too. If the entity is described as an
Essential Community Provider that is primarily engaged in
family planning services, reproductive health and related
medical care, you cannot have that money Planned Parenthood
three, if the entity is an abortion provider that provides
abortion in cases that do not meet the Hyde Amendment except
for federal payment. Yeah, hello Planned Parenthood. And if it
received more than $1 million in Medicaid expenditures, both
federal and state in fiscal year 2014. Well, they received about
600 million over their Planned Parenthood, then something new,
optional work requirements. States effective October 1 2017
can require nondisabled non elderly, non pregnant
individuals to satisfy a work requirement as a condition for
receipt of Medicaid medical assistance about that slave to
get to work in late I should be listening at all you just found
out. Yeah, well they can make you work for it.
As long as you know they should as long as you're not elderly.
When does elderly start? Do they? They should define it in
the Bill. That's a good point. I
don't see a definition.
But there must be. I must be able to write it. Yeah.
Let's try that. Yes. legal definition of elderly. I'm now
just reading through this. I think we get the idea. Here we
go. So legal definition 60 years of age. That's elderly.
Yeah, that's a Tom Brady Oh, still be quarterbacks?
Do I have a thought about John McCain after this report, which
was done a couple of days ago, Senator
first learned he had a problem. In Arizona back in July, when
doctors found a blood clot over his left eye after a routine
checkup at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. He was driving back to
the ranch when he got word.
I was driving up here. And I got about two thirds of the way up.
And my doctor called and said, You got to come back. And I
said, Hey, that today is Friday. I'll just come in on Monday. And
she said, No, you have to come now. It's very serious.
You turn the car around and went immediately into surgery?
Yes, they thought it was serious enough that they had to act
immediately.
And before the blood clot operation. Did they mention
glioblastoma to you?
Yes. But as you know, doctors are interesting.
It covered them.
I kept saying to them, tell it to me straight. Well, there's
always this there's always add, you know, and I said I can take
it just tell me and and then they they were more forthcoming.
Interesting that the Mayo Clinic wasn't forthcoming. That seems
odd.
You know what that was all about? Well, here's
the information I received over the weekend secondhand from one
of our intelligence sources, which this person says the
person received it from very high up in the Pentagon. The
expectations are not that McCain will make it through the rest of
the year. And hey, and it's possible that he just wants to
go out to hero, a hero to someone doesn't give a crap who
is a user who is a hero to
to he is going to be but Trump?
I think so. I think so. I see no reason. Under his argument. Why
he can't vote yes. I'm not saying this is the bill you want
to this needs to pass or anything by just his arguments
don't make sense. Yeah, he wants to wait for the CBO to see if
the numbers he wants to buck Trump. Yeah. And go out of here.
i The information I get the source doesn't like
Trump. He didn't like Trump ever says Trump called him a phony.
Yeah. And heroes don't get captured thing. Right, that dad
really called him because the guy has been a senator forever.
I think he's corrupt, you know, as we continue to believe since
the since the 28th 2008. election. And him and Lindsey
Graham. They've got something to do with the Pentagon. But I can
see where he would find that incredibly offensive. You know,
you didn't get torture where you can't lift your arms up. Yeah,
he's thinking to himself when Trump makes it Well,
seeing as I got this from the from Pentagon sources through
the military, the military does not feel this way about him.
They feel very differently. They feel that he was yeah, he
appeared on the Tokyo rose radio show 30 times.
And it wasn't Tokyo rose. I think it was Tokyo rose. That's
World War Two may be wrong. Yeah. What was it was on some
radio shows. The
other radio show
is Hanoi how?
Hanoi Holly Yes, that's what it was. No, I think it was Tokyo
rose. No, Tokyo Rose
was dead. Tokyo roses of World War Two. You got your wars mixed
up.
I'm going to fight Yeah. Who says okay, well, okay, so
what I had a Korean real war.
I hear you. I hear you.
Vietnam and I know he's in the Vietnam Vietnam. I have
corrected on that every time I say anything.
Right. What I have is John McCain's 1969 Tokyo rose
recordings. So maybe it's in quotes, so maybe it wasn't I
don't know.
But I definitely wasn't Tokyo rose. That would be really
weird.
I know. I missed a look. I know Tokyo's in Japan. I know this.
Well, who was it then who was the let's find out radio prop
Again the Vietnam
War millionaire feed while you're looking at up finish with
your little boy, Hannah,
they must have been hand over hand. That's what Hanoi ham.
We're good. All right. A half hour to get there. Were there,
too. Okay, so he was on I think it was just a plane
half hour.
Hanoi, Hanoi Hannah view was on there 32 times. There's the
military Look, I don't know I haven't
investigated never finished the sentence. The military thinks
what they don't
like him. I did finish the sentence. They don't think that
highly of him is what I said. Okay, I finished the sentence.
No, I interrupted you in the middle of finishing the sentence
because you said you said the military because he was on a
military doesn't feel that way. About you
said that. But that doesn't mean when you say they didn't feel
that way. I can assume that they they hate him or they love him.
They hate anything.
They hate him. Okay, there you go. Jeez.
Well, I who likes him?
The Democrats, the millennial kids. Yes. Look at Open your
eyes, man. Look at the kids. They love him all John McCain.
He's such a sweet guy because he's now on their side. He loves
this. He is the he's the white Maxine Waters. Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm not a big fan. Oh, we're not alignment with the
military on this one. Yeah, but not because he was on Hanoi. Han
I just think just just forget all of that. Just look at his
record and who he is, what he does and what he votes for. And
what he says. And his visit visit war monger. I don't know
who he's trying to appeal to as ever the munitions people.
He's going out he's dying. He knows that he wants to go out
there true hero. That's why we'll try. That
doesn't make him a true hero just to But Trump. Rob Reiner is
a true hero then. I mean, everybody's bucking Trump. So
if you if you look around the Astier tonight at your dinner,
ask your Millennials what they think of John McCain.
Okay, what was the other one? I'm gonna ask them something
else.
Oh, geez, you didn't write that down? I'm writing it down now.
Yeah, this is why you don't get the list. As I don't remember. I
don't remember everyone's
nobody gets
I don't remember. Oh, The Handmaid's Tale Was it something
about that?
Yeah, ask it but ask about The Handmaid's Tale
no memes memes memes me me memes
about making your chat rooms.
Thank you. Thank you.
It is how we do the show Ladies and Gents was ad libbed. No.
Real definition
of memes Okay, get both these down. Now they're written down.
I'm gonna good shape.
Well, while we're on means that you've seen the cover of Rolling
Stone magazine and the cover of Newsweek this week. No, just
while rolling stone always has great illustrations. And they
have
good artists Trump is as good as our artists.
No, oh no, we're much better. Trump in in Rolling Stone style,
on top of a wall with barbed wire and burning tiki torches
yelling and the title is the madness of Donald Trump by Matt
Taibbi, which is a must read. It's been it's so unhinged. And
Newsweek has a profile of Trump kind of backlit, and their
headline is insane in the membrane. How the right lost its
mind sold its soul and embrace Donald Trump. So they're pushing
the crazy meme again, the insane
how many times are they going to recycle some of these ideas
until 2018? Yeah, Jerry probably
it's probably it's like a playlist a rotation.
It's a playlist that you put it on shuffle from time to time,
because it may be mixed it up. Alright, that we've spotted
these sorts of things before we did it with the six week cycle
let's let's try to put figure out what the what the rotation
is. And I'll bet you we can predict the next one. We can't
do it right now. But I think now that we can start thinking about
it, we'll be able to predict the next the next meme they throw at
us because well when the rotation before
then I believe it's time to get back to he's a pig towards
women.
So the grabbing by
grabbed by the pussy has to come back something along we need a
new OC tag.
With that came again. I'm gonna have to look back on the way
these memes are rolled out and we'll have to see what the what
the cycle looks like. And I'll bet you you're gonna see it. And
it's probably and by the way, it's so far away. We're gonna
get the insanity thing again. I'll bet you that comes near the
near the 20 near
the end. Yes, near the end. And we're talking about Hillary's
book. Good book. And her book is responsible for the following
segment on the view very sad day. Very, very sad day on the
view of Jedediah who is she's the resident libertarian slash
not bought, trying to straddle universes person. She's gone.
fired her. They fired her. Yes. Why? I'm going to tell you
exactly after we listened to it's just a beautiful moment
whenever you're in television and both John and I have worked
extensively in the field. Both on the presenting production
writing, directing side all of it we were all rounders.
Yeah, and what do we got to show for it? Pod passing? At least we
got some don't show that's
right. And as you'll hear, because when you hear someone
who is allowed to say goodbye on the air that's not very typical.
She'd love to say goodbye and just listen to usual listen to
how obvious it is that she was fired.
Got the floor. So this is my last day at the view. Yeah, and
I want to thank these ladies we don't know about us is that
these these ladies were really friends. Sonny's texts I mean,
Sarah, you will be your main inspiration, joy, you but I need
comedic relief. This is where I go. So we're going to be friends
no matter what. But I want to thank you because I'm a little
eccentric. And you put up with me. And this has been just an
amazing journey. And I appreciate all of you. I want to
thank the viewers, even the ones that write me, hate tweets. Know
this is this is what I'm here for. I'm there to shake things
up in life and television. And I have a book that I'm writing
with HarperCollins right now. I don't have a title yet. But
that's always a giveaway. I'm writing the book. That's why I'm
leaving. I don't have a title yet. It's
an amazing concept that I think is going to really shake up the
world, especially the millennial generation. Yeah, I'm super
excited about that. It'll be coming out next year. So I'm
working insanely on that. And I have a lot of opportunities to
consider now and figure out piles up to here. And I will be
spending a little bit of time doing that. But you should stay
tuned because there's there's some good stuff on the way I
just have to I have to map it out a little bit. And I'm
getting married.
That that's very interesting. Yeah, I think it's joy. That
makes sense to me when I tell you what went down. I think
she's the one that saying and you're getting married, because
that was the agreement, you're gonna be able to say goodbye.
Just say you're getting married, life changing. You got all kinds
of other stuff to do. She forgot to mention that the beginning so
Joy plugs it in there
but out a little bit. I'm married, and I'm getting
married. Catch? Because it's been a really great experience.
Yeah. Okay, here's what happened. This happened during
the Hillary Clinton interview. And here is a this comes from an
email of someone on the inside. Who explains exactly what went
down the entire day was very tightly scripted. We remember
how we discussed this that this show is completely scripted.
Right? And it doesn't even sound that way. But we were sure of
it. We know this happens all the time. I don't think the viewers
know at all.
So there's a lot of well scripted well acted shows. And
it's almost like you can kind of well, the McLaughlin group was
fairly stiff McLaughlin report was one of them. And it's
actually kind of hard to spot. Because it seems like they're
talking. Yeah.
Well, it got spotted during this one. The entire day was very
tightly scripted. We had worked with Hillary's team to create a
list of approved questions. Each question was assigned to a
specific cast member to be asked in a specific order. Everyone
knew exactly when to ask the question, what Hillary's answer
was going to be yes, we knew the advance was answers in advance,
when to laugh and when to be serious. completely scripted.
Everybody was saying Where do you who wrote this? This is the
email that came from inside the production. Okay, go. Like I
said, totally scripted. Everybody was warned not to go
off script for any reason. During the interview, Jedediah
went off script that threw everybody off. Hillary was
annoyed. You know, it was even more annoyed Joy Bay har because
she didn't get to ask all of the questions that she was assigned.
So Joy demanded a meeting with the producers afterward. We were
told that joy demanded that Jedediah get fired and the
producers agreed. Jedediah and Whoopi were not at the meeting
and were called late. To let you know to be informed of what
happened. The next day Whoopi was going nuts. He was yelling
about everything. She was mad she wasn't invited to the
meeting or included in the decision. She was mad that joy
had made such a stink about not getting to ask all of her
questions. She was mad that producers led Joy have so much
power in getting Jedediah fired. She was also mad at Jedediah for
going off script in the first place. She was yelling in the
hallway I told her not to go there stupid bitch.
So that's pretty much it she I guess it would be would say
that.
So that's pretty much it. The big thing is that the Hillary
people had really called them ABC on this. They were very
pissed off. And so when joy came in, and she was pissed off then
it was you know, we'll just we'll just fire her we'll get
rid of her.
And we'll be she'd you know there's the rules or the rules.
Yeah, and
whoopee enjoy our bad war with each other apparently,
that which that could start a war exactly what you describe it
every bit of it makes nothing but sense to me
can't wait to see what goes down now.
But it too bad. We can't get the Hillary thing, which is gotta be
online somewhere and see what she said that get there was off
script because we can figure it out. I
think she just asked something out of context. I didn't go look
for it. I just believe the trust that email in this case.
No, I believe the email but I would like to still see the
okay. What it was. I
want to do that for us. We got tons of producers out there with
time on their hands.
So Well, there you go. There you have it. One who's going to
replace her with?
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking who can have it? I'm available
follows the
rules. Does what she's told
I can follow the rules put you in there. And I bring my podcast
audience to the table.
But it's all women. Well, nevermind me it makes no sense.
No, I don't think so.
Wow. Good one. Yeah. Get you the getaway we didn't have you get a
clip of the day, but kids don't need to catch it today. Okay,
let's go to North Korea and talk a little bit about what's going
on because this is getting funny because of the new word that
we've got into lexicon. But let's go with Trump versus North
Korea. CBS. Yes,
we mean Rocket Man
for North Korea had its say at the UN General Assembly in New
York City, escalating its war of words with President Trump.
Here's Paul read. Total Money
none other than Trump himself is on a suicide mission.
Responding to President Trump's a UN speech last week, North
Korea's Minister of Foreign Affairs addressed the UN
Saturday.
What else could be a bigger threat than the violent remarks
such as pouring fire and fury total destruction coming from
the top authority of the world's biggest nuclear power
on Friday, North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un described President
Trump as a mentally deranged dotard
Rocket Man should have been handled a long time ago.
at a campaign rally in Alabama later that same day, President
Trump continued the escalating war of words.
He may be smart, he may be strategic and he may be totally
crazy. But you know what, no matter what he is, we're gonna
handle it
folks on Twitter. He denounced Mr. Kim as a madman.
That was a horrible, horrible thing that happened to the
Republican Party.
The president is also engaged in a battle within his own party.
Yeah, I'm now I remember the word yes. I like it. It's a good
word.
Yeah, buddy. How's it pronounced? He she's a dotard. I
thought it was dope tart. Or do tard
I would say dough tarde. dotard. And in fact,
if you look let's look it up. Let's do a little work.
Well, I did look sorry, this one. The printout it actually
has the two words separated dotard No, I think don't is that
turret is tarde? Look at the Hold on. Here's the
pronunciation. Yes, turd. Hold on. I have the pronunciation
here. And it would be dotard oh, let's check it out. Let's check
it out. dotard dotard dotard. Use dotard
Yardi as restaurant.
She was right. But to me, I would say dough tard. Well,
that's what you would do. And it is an old person, especially one
who has become weak or senile, which would be the idiot the
tard port part.
Sorry, we're really referring to the build route. I know it's
Greek or Latin. We have tarde meaning tardy,
yeah, slow retarded. Yeah.
Anyway, I love the word is great. And I've never heard it
before, but apparently the North Koreans use it. There was a
website.
That's what I wonder. Is there is there a word in Korean that
that they use a lot for people like that?
I don't know what their leadership I would think they
do.
But let's just be honest. Kim Jong Un is a racist prick. I
mean an ageist prick. Yeah, yes. That's I mean, no one's calling
him out on that. Well, he
does. It doesn't seem. Who knows who wrote who put that into the
lie. I
have no trust whatsoever in this news in that
CBS report was another example of my pet peeve and news
reporting, which is, which I'm calling to whipsaw for now. Is
you which is you say one thing and then you exemplify it with a
quote that has nothing to do with it.
We're gonna handle it folks on Twitter. He denounced Mr. Kim as
a madman. That was a
horrible, horrible thing that happened to the Republican
Party. What?
Yeah, you got was
written? No.
Why did he resign?
The whole thing was crazy.
He misses these. Let me play it again. They're designed to be
missed.
But I didn't miss I just want to hear it again. We're gonna
handle it
folks on Twitter. He denounced Mr. Kim as a madman.
That was a horrible horrible thing that happened to the
Republican Party,
of course, but what she said is this is what he said on Twitter
but that's not what he said on Twitter.
No, they do this all the time. CBS is the worst for this they
all the networks do it. But they do this constantly. And and I'm
now in this case, this is a little more advanced
doing the Twitter's thing Yeah, that that hadn't heard that
version of it. I like it.
This is so this is so different than what he said on Twitter. He
would they they jumped a topic completely and go on to
something different, but they connect them. And I think the
idea, I think the idea is to do association with the bad bad
Trump and the Republican Party. Yeah, this thing Yeah.
Okay. It was a kind of a stretch. Yeah, but it worked. It
was undetectable almost was very good.
If it when you listen to the whole thing, as an ISO is
obvious, right? But when you listen to the whole thing, most
of these are undetectable. Unless you're unless you're like
me, I'm just I'm not looking for anything else. But these I know
they do them so much. Yeah. And then whipsaws the best I
have for it. So I know we've already agreed whipsaws Good.
Well, some more on on North Korea. Right now. We were flying
around and we're doing our little fly bys. Our little Hey,
look at my penis thing. Flying our US bombers off the coast.
But I've always been taught and I've always said probably
mentioned on the show, you never have to really be worried about
anything until they start bringing back the diplomats
mainly and they close the embassy. And so we have not seen
that yet. But we did see as they stopped all internships so no
new internships at the South Korean embassy, which is only 30
miles away from the from the demilitarized zone is not that
far. Yeah.
Well, the range of hours Yeah, but
us families in South Korea, military families got fake by or
diplomatic families got fake orders to leave South Korea
which caused a lot of consternation because everyone
else knows a until we're being sent home there's nothing wrong
and somehow these fake orders started going around and people
like oh crap, we got to go now this they were fake. They
weren't and no one has has issued these orders. But just
thought that was interesting that that that that happened,
you know who thinks of doing that?
It is only someone
who knows what it means. I presume it's an interesting
troll.
So I have that to check out. I think I made a mistake when I
said the Howitzer has a 30 mile range. Okay, I'm looking it up.
There are I'm sure there's cannons that can shoot 30 miles,
but I'm not sure it's a Howard sir. What is the range of a
howitzer? answers.com all my favorite website click to see
answer Thank you very much once you just give me the answer.
I gotta show you an ad.
Oh no, no, it's worse than that. It's a slideshow.
Oh yes.
My fight one Howard's got many different variants you need you
need to be more no word. Yeah, now you click on the slideshow
specific but arrange have an M seven seven is 30.1 kilometers
Okay, that's pretty far. Columbus 20 miles I guess
they're 15 Miles No 20
Is there something anyway onward I don't know if you wanted to do
it and you there's two things we had on the list of shorting
orange juice and the Emmys. Oh yes.
I want to correct I want to make a cup on shorting orange juice.
I don't know what I was thinking I talked about with horror was
you didn't you want to short orange juice you wanted to go
along futures because it was going to be a shortage. And I
think there were I think there was gonna be a shortage of
orange juice and the We're in short, I got scrambled. I said
short orange juice. Yeah. So that was a blunder and we got
two or three nasty notes about it.
You should know better. I should. I should. I should know
better although I thought it I do technical analysis I don't do
fundamentals Come on, man. I've got I got my forte and my ma
crossovers. I got it all set up.
So let's play with
Lucas math. Yeah. There's the ladies
on the Rohingyas which have been run out of mirror and Mar and
you run into Bangladesh and now the Indians are getting involved
in making a fuss. I want to play this and I have a question.
And New Delhi, India, hundreds of Muslims protested against a
plan by India's Hindu nationalist government to deport
some 40,000 Rohingya refugees to Burma, where the Burmese army is
carrying out a wide scale ethnic cleansing. The protests came as
India's Supreme Court here's a challenge to the plan, which is
backed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the United
Nations General Assembly. Bangladesh is leader laid out a
plan Thursday to begin repatriating 800,000 Rohingya
more than half of whom have fled to Bangladesh since August 25.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the UN should set up safe
zones in Burma for returning refugees fleeing Myanmar,
we are horrified to see that the Myanmar authorities are laying
landmines along their stretch of the border to prevent the
Rohingyas. from returning to Myanmar, these people must be
able to return to their homeland and safety, security and
dignity. In recent
days, Bangladeshi authorities have sharply restricted the
movements of Rohingya refugees telling them they can't leave
their makeshift camps, ordering drivers not to transport them
and landlords not to rent.
These are probably the only people doing any work on this
particular story.
Democracy Now their brother covering it is what they're
doing. So this, listen to this, they're putting in landmines
that keep these guys from coming back. And the Indians think they
suck. And everybody Hey, what there's, I'm telling there's
something missing. In this reporting, there is something
missing because this is a large group of people, nearly a
million, and everybody hates them. That's the only thing I
can say. Every everybody the Indians hate him to Bangladesh.
He's hate him, the me, me and more people hate why, why? Why?
Why? I mean, there's no they won't this what
was only one thing, right? Because they're Muslim.
No, there's plenty of Muslims. There's Muslims here there's
Muslims there, they're all over Myanmar, the half of our data
not have bad Muslim quarter of India's population is Muslim.
And Bangladesh is largely got a large Muslim population. It's
not the Muslim angle. Well, what is it that you tell me is not
being reported? Maybe they stink?
Like actually think maybe they have
some sort of a weird of they have some some verbs of obscene
habits? I have no idea. Maybe they're nice, and they give too
much money away. I mean, there's there's something that is not
being reported, because I believe that these people are
hated, except amongst themselves and amongst Westerners who are
just observing because we'd love everyone just to observing
what's going on. But we're not making. We're not We're not
explaining why. Why are they putting landmines down now to
keep them from coming back? Why does the people in Bangladesh
say they, they have to stay in their camps and they can't rent.
If they have to rich they can't even leave their camp and go
buy, buy a place or rent from anyone there. Anyone who rents
to them is going to be subject to some some law. Something's
something is not being explained.
I'm going to ask for Chanak he's an expert on this particular
topic.
Yeah, you should ask him because he got it.
He was pitching about soon soon. See son soon too. He was
pitching about her being an elitist not doing anything. I'll
ask him if I'm sure he's good at that historical stuff.
Well, there's something have missed something out with the
reporting in our knowledge because there's it just I went
in landmines. I was almost there with this thinking until the
landmine things and there's Oh my God, these people are hated
the blow I. Why? So well, and I get that report from Democracy
Now. They love everybody except the United States.
Meanwhile, a little bit further down south from there in Bali.
Mount a goon is about to erupt. It hasn't erupted since it was
in 1953 or 1963. Really? Yeah. And that's nice. 1963 and that
that eruption was a five on the day, the volcano explosivity
index. They're expecting it to be a four or five again. And I
think everyone's pretty much evacuated. Now, there's a lot of
village villages around there a friend. I know this because a
friend of mine is in Bali right now. And he's like, I don't
know. I mean, he's 20 kilometers away. So that should be safe.
But he doesn't know if he wants to stay or go, he doesn't know
if it's gonna be a mess. If that thing erupts, I'm like, stay,
it'd be a good day stay.
Well, you're not much of a friend. He should get out of
their day. We need boots
on the ground, we won't be able to communicate with us. But you
know, what's so crazy? You had an earthquake off the coast of
California a couple days ago?
Yeah, supposedly. I didn't feel it.
Well, it was. Yeah. Yeah, it was in the on the Pacific Ocean. But
just so you know, here are my alerts because I'm using that
that solar activity. app. So on the 23rd.
It's yesterday.
Yeah, hold on a second. I've gotta go back here. Where am I?
And by the way, we will talk about in a little while, but the
worth didn't come to an end with no, you
know, we didn't die. So I got it was 1026. No, that was
yesterday. So I'm getting them. I'm pretty much getting a day to
three hours. I'm getting Cornell Cornell activity, Cornell holes
or solar flares. I'm getting these and then right after that
there's an earthquake boom, eight here in the corner,
Cornell holes yesterday 826 Or on the 22nd 23rd 6.2 in Mexico.
And it's it's correlation. I don't want to say it's
causation. But it sure seems that way. And there's a lot of
research about volcanoes being activated by flares and other
geomag magnetic activity, where supposedly
we have about four opportunities in California. And then there's
a couple in Oregon and one or two in Washington, volcanoes
that are still active. That might go off, including Mount
Shasta nice.
You need to get out of there for a whole bunch of reasons.
The one was in the other direction. So I would say anyone
on the ash for you. You're good. Yeah, pretty unlikely. Quick,
quick couple, anyone living east of these places is not good.
quick couple of updates about the advertising business. But
first of all, the non advertising business Patreon who
have well, I thought really successfully adapted the value
for value model, but I think they're making a big mistake.
They just took a $60 million fund. Series B. Investment? Why?
That was my question. I mean, how can you not be making money
all you have to do you're not doing anything just running some
servers, I'm
sure they have some huge a whole plan about becoming the Netflix
of podcast, I can just I can smell the slide deck from here.
They already talked about our our creators and our this and
our that, yeah, they don't own them. And people be careful of
this outfit, be very careful. Especially when they got money
like that, you know, they're gonna start turning you off.
You're no longer protected. If you put you're no longer
protected there. With the apple stats on deck,
people who are over reliant on Patreon, and I could think of a
few
Yes, don't feel comfortable with checks.
There's that there's them they, I believe would be they would
start jacking up the well you know, we're gonna start doing
we're gonna help you guys get do better. We're gonna add a
percent to our towards VIG. It'd be 2%. Yeah, the next thing you
know, a second, you know, agency and nowadays you get 15%. I
think we're doing at least that, but we're
gonna get you we get you more exposure. We get you more. So
there's a business model that will be proven to be successful.
But you can be up ended in a cooperative form, I'm sure. With
the apple podcast stats on deck, everyone's getting kind of
worried about that. The International Advertising.
Bureau IAB has put out rules for compliance. There's no they're
putting a stake in the ground, saying, Oh, well, you know, this
is how we count stats. This is how we do it. Remember when it
was all supposed to be perfectly measurable? Well, it's not. But
now that's the big joke. Yeah. Now Lipson is updating their
stats stats reporting system to allow for IRB compliance, and
they had to send out a note saying, you may notice your
numbers going down G overinflated much.
So of course if you're using a Are model.
Who did you don't give a crap? As long as you can pay rent,
that's the only salary. That's the stat Yeah. Can I pay my
rent? Okay,
we got telling listeners it says or it says a million? We don't
know could be good. Yeah, I don't believe any of this stuff.
No. But the best story, it's only going to be Apple numbers.
I mean, we also have a lot of distribution and other forms.
Yeah.
The one, okay, the best story from the advertising world,
which is not going to get a lot of coverage should get coverage.
The TV networks should be covering it. But I don't think
it's a big interest to them. Now, we know the Procter and
Gamble they said, Hey, we're stopping all this, we're not
going to invest so much in the digital money, they pulled back
to, I think, a total annual spend of 200 million on digital
they cut that bike significantly. Yeah, it's a lot
of money. And now there's an upset. You know, there was a
global retailing conference Goldman Sachs had this past week
and you know, a lot of advertising people there and
understanding how online plays into everything. And they were
they had were buying 32 or 3200 search words. This one company
which is Restoration Hardware, it's it's a when I compare it to
like one of these is here with like Pier One shop
where you buy very expensive doorknobs.
Yes, it's like Pier One. You know, it's kind of you get a
hold interior, if you want Restoration Hardware. And
they've been marketing with 3200 words, and they someone did some
statistics, then it turns out that 98% of their business was
coming from 22 words. And what 22 words do you think those
were?
Well, you're gonna tell us the word
Restoration Hardware and the 21 ways to spell it wrong. That was
98% of the results of their AdWords.
So it was Restoration Hardware, and the variations that were
just a misspelled, yes. Wow. That would tell me that there
there are other forms that there are other marketing. In other
words, normal channels of old fashioned advertising, got the
name embedded so well into the public psyche, that when a
search when a search came up, they did searchers would just
type it in you advertising does work because otherwise you
wouldn't know the name Restoration Hardware to put the
branding, I'd say branding word. Okay, branding, that's what they
were well branded, and all the rest of it, they all the online
nonsense was just nonsense. You know, choosing other terms and
hoping to get lucky. And also,
it just seems like all the other terms, which I'm sure they had
interiors, you know, cool people shopping Saturday, I don't know
what the hell they had. But none of that works. So what are
people looking for? They are using the internet as a
supplemental tool for the branding they receive elsewhere
or maybe they get they get branding, but not keywords,
which is really Google's business. And that's why it's an
interesting story to me, because they cut their
spend Google keeps all this is a black box. Yes, sir.
We on the other hand, we have transparency.
I'm gonna show my son moved by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Yes, and indeed we do a few people to thank for show 967
Sir. 777. And let me get my keyboard when we left.

always stay on track with LGBT Q d d I p I've lost track now.
LG GB DTTTIQQ a PP?
Yes. Okay. I remember now. There are different types of
classifications in the male homosexual world as we call
them, the gays. And I was unaware I was unaware that there
are you as Have you ever heard of a gold star gay
Zelicah Gold Star family very close.
Yes. A gold star gay. This is news to me.
Well, let's go let's back up. Where are you getting this
information
from a clip from an audio clip that is short but hilarious. No,
I didn't know I didn't know that there was classifications a gold
star game there were
classifications I didn't know what they were but I know the
women they got to the bowl die the diesel dyke they you know
these lipstick lesbian. They have all these? Yeah, exactly.
Right. So we know a lot of those but I didn't know about the
gays. Okay, so the Goldstar gay is a gay who has never had sex
with a woman you see this is the classification that you have to
go through. Gold Star Yes. But then there's the platinum gay
I'm what they call a platinum gay meaning that a gold star
gays a gay that's never been with a woman right? But then a
platinum gay is one that was also born C section. So I've
never touched a vagina
Wow. How awesome is that?
That's unbelievable.
I had no idea. I'm
giving you Clip of the Day. That Oh, I didn't
expect it but I will gladly accept it. Thank you for the
white creator. Appreciate it. James Comey was doing a speech
at Howard University. I guess he's an alum. And these are
typically prestigious gigs. But oh no, this didn't work out so
well for Mr. Comey.
Breaking the news. I want to take you to Howard University.
They're learning about protesters interrupting an
event. They're supposed to be a speech by the former FBI
Director James Comey at the convocation of Howard University
as they celebrate their 100 and 50th anniversary. We're working
to get more information on exactly what's unfolding, but
I'm learning there's about 30 protesters or so shouting and
preventing James Comey from speaking. College was part of
the real world. And I lost people. All right, we will keep
an eye on this.
And they kept breaking back in it was just a bunch of kids just
now it was a black coalition. And I was able to ISO some of
the chants that they were using. I don't think you could
understand it. So I'm
going to tell you wait, wait, you. You ain't our homie.
Get out James Comey, you ain't my homie. I give them a b minus
for created of creative writing.
Get out beat. A give a for a beat. It's gotta be
a while it's yes, it's got to beat but get out James Comey.
You ain't my homie. But I have no idea what their problem is.
And nor do I feel like looking into it.
I think I think the Speaker, if this is going to continue, the
speaker should walk out immediately is the
administration's fault for this. And the administration knows
whose fault it really is. And then none of the kids should get
a diploma. They should just cancel the event right on the
spot. They've got to do something drastic like this,
like expel people that used to happen before this is going as
this is never going to end it's going to get worse and worse
until these guys get a backbone. How many of the parents of these
kids would appreciate their child not getting a diploma? not
graduating being expelled from any of these schools? I don't
think they would think much of it. No. They'd bitched and
moaned to the administration, but whose fault is it dated?
Really give their kids hell? They've got to put a stop to it.
This does not belong at the university level.
Totally.
are they protesting the Vietnam War? Because we're gonna get
drafted? No, no protesting some speaker but they don't like
he's it's not the home that they're home. Why are you
protesting? He's not a homie. Okay, on both fair game. But did
you have anything on the Kurds? Because I have a little update.
I had that old thing of the last show and the Kurds. Yeah.
Well, here's we have we honestly, we have boots on the
ground. One of our producers. And this is I think he's I don't
know what exactly what kind of business he's in. But he always
sends encrypted email. He was the guy in Syria for a long
time. Okay, now he's in Erbil,
which I think he knows what is businesses. Yeah. He's in Erbil,
said ITM. I moved to Erbil for a job a few months back. I'm
exposed here in a sea of well, expletive. So please keep me
anonymous for this. For this note, here's the situation
regarding the upcoming referendum. So what what is this
again about the referendum they want to this is
the this is the courage of voting to some independent
independence in Iraq. Okay, good.
So Barzani wanted the central government to recognize the
Peshmerga as part of the Iraqi military the same way. The
Popular Mobilization Units were recognized. And Barzani is
demanding back payments for the whole period, the Peshmerga
helped fighting ISIS, the central government refused. And
so he's using the referendum as pressure. So now the main
problem is Kerch UK, which is where the oil is, both Kurdistan
and the central government want this they know that's where the
conflicts are. And as for the rest of Kurdistan, people are
stocking up on food since both Turkey and Iran are against the
referendum and it's expected they will close their borders on
Monday. And that is the latest from our boots on recorded by
the mainstream media. No, you have to come to a podcast if you
want to learn anything from to dotars dotard Dhotre.
So I just want to play Hillary clips. Oh, well, gee, no, I
first of all, I wanted I we show her you know, her attitude about
things. I do have an ice. So this is Clinton on WikiLeaks.
Okay,
WikiLeaks, which is nothing more than a tool of Putin and the
Kremlin.
I think we've played that before in contests a new one that came
from that speech that she just she's just doing the same thing
over and over again. Now, here's when the you know, I'm always I
don't know if I'm doing this seriously. I can't figure it
out. I'm always looking for a reptilian.
Yeah, to see to prove that she's a reptile. So the not sweating
thing. Yes.
And not sweating things a good giveaway. And now there's this,
this is the one. This was again, at that same speech in New York.
This is a question to Clinton on breathing.
Can you demonstrate our alternate nostril breathing?
Anyway? I really do highly recommend it. It's not that
hard. What is? Google it? She's not going to demonstrate it. But
you get the idea.
Yeah, she brought me a question from the audience. Yes,
she brought this up on the interview she did with Cooper.
She brought it up and said that she had learned how to do this
alternate nostril breathing. And she gave an example. I thought I
may have clipped that, but I don't see it now. How does this
so this is a reptilian thing. So she has to
I don't know if it is or not, but I've never heard of this
before. Yeah, that's where it came
from.
I do and it wasn't a question, but I think people should ask
her if she if she actually likes to take naps on top of hot
rocks. That's a question coming up.
Okay. Well, that question hasn't been asked yet. But Elizabeth
Warren did get a nasty question. From a local radio host. About
her wealth. She's worth $9 million.
Yeah, I find this to be somebody sent me a Tweet, tweet her
thing. And she says, Oh, she's, she lives in a mansion. And they
describe it as a 3400 square foot three bedroom plus a
$2 million house.
Well in Hello, California. Every house around here is $2 million.
You can give me this is Cambridge.
Cambridge is not a cheap place to live. I think a $2 million
house in Cambridge
is a shithole. Yeah. Well, that's what she lives in. So you
don't like this kind of question. But I don't
particularly like
it. No, I think the question is okay, but I there's no evidence
that I've seen that she has any earmarks of a person who's
wealthy. Oh, no. may have a net worth of something that is made
up. And sure she's in Congress. She's been there for a while.
And she's done other things. She can have money. Yeah, but mainly
worth 9 million.
Yeah. Yes, I think worth I think she is worth 9 million. CNN
deconstructed it. And then they average net worth eight point
$75 million, including her home. Which we
must have a mortgage on. I think people do do these calculations
live. Yeah.
Well, this isn't your net worth. The No. She says she has no debt
actually. Because you have to file all this stuff they make.
She and her husband who's a Harvard professor. They make
over a million dollars a year. Okay, well, that's good. Money's
reasonable. Yeah. Well, not another clips. not that fun.
But this thing about her mansion that she lives in in Cambridge.
Yeah, that's a three bedroom. $2.2 million place in Cambridge
is like a shithole. No offense. Yeah. And it clips is not I
mean, if it is in Texas, the place would be selling for 250
To
dream on. Not in Austin.
I'm just saying again, Texas is one of those. I'm thinking of
Plano.
Well forget that. Then let's move on to another topic. This
is one I've been sitting on like this. As you know, our former
New York banker has stated multiple times. We want the
American Bankers one. Everyone else lost. We are the rulers,
we're still not exactly sure what that means. But somehow in
the financial system, the way the money rolls in the world we
want. So when Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan speaks the will pay
attention, because he's really I think he's more God than
Blankfein from Goldman Sachs. Would you agree?
Oh, you know, I wonder about that? Because diamond seems like
a dummy. Wow. But he definitely is. He's definitely in the
ruling elite and amongst the bankers
while he's in agreement with you and I on Bitcoin, and he does it
quite eloquently in this Bloomberg interview. And
certainly when we saw the price go from 5000 down to 3900.
Because China said hey, you know what, we're gonna go after the
money changers. So you can do whatever you want. Sorry.
Is this the clip where he says he would he thinks anyone in his
company which should be fired we He played this clip last show.
No, no,
that's not this clip. This is a new club.
We've done something with a bitcoin exchange. But separate
blockchain is a technology can be used for multiple things
including cryptocurrency can be used for digital dollars. And
there are digital dollars, right? Like a lot of the dollars
held in our bank are digital. And so I'm not so separate the
technology, what I've said about bitcoins, a country's form of
currency, you have a wonderful currency, when you form your
nation 1947, when the first thing you did is create a
central bank with a currency. And that currency is part of the
national heritage, and the bank has got the 17 and 19 languages,
other languages here. Countries form their currency, they like
to control their currency. So right now I say these crypto
things are kind of a novelty. People think they're kind of
neat. But the bigger they get, the more government's gonna
close them down. And they also use a lot for illicit purposes.
So you've seen China just go after them. So that's what I've
said. And you can like it or not, like about my own view is
that eventually government's going to close it down? They'd
like to control the currency, like know, who has it, where it
goes, why it goes, when it goes, they like to see it. And the
cryptocurrency is the opposite. So again, you might, again, I
prefer digital, you might have a crypto dollar, I would prefer
that than a crypto currency was not a fiat currency.
So no, it's just that Euro. Ultimately, all currencies are
created out of thin air. And there is a central bank backing,
there is a sovereign backing, but it is still created out of
thin air. And this currency at least has a stable quantity.
Whereas other currencies backed by central banks have
quantitative
I like this, but she's a little hard to understand. But she's
she's making the arguments and yeah, but hold on a second. You
know, fiat currency is also just made up of nothing. It's just
paper. Yeah, it has the sovereign backing. But when you
look at Bitcoin, it has a finite number of coins. This is the
argument that's always made. That's why I like this interview
gold argument. It's Yes, it's very similar to the gold
argument. But you know, you can print as many dollars as you
want. How does that work?
I know but those central banks that it says legal tender, you
have to take this as payment, it's very cheap to do, it's very
easy to move back
exactly that right there once Bitcoin somehow has the words
legal tender for all debts printed on it. It won't be money
until that that's his point, or
you have to take this as payment. I agree with that. It's
very cheap to do. It's very easy to move back and forth. We move
JPMorgan moves $6 trillion dollars around the world every
day, very efficiently, very quietly, very effectively. And
doesn't sound like Horowitz by the way.
Sounds just a little bit nuts. You mentioned a lot of Horowitz,
very quietly, very effectively, and very cost efficient. It's
all digital money around the world. So you got to say what is
the problem we're trying to solve? And so again, I'm not
against the technology, but But creating money out of thin air
without having a government backing is very good at creating
money having to go back in. It's not unlimited. So Bitcoin has
that, you know, no more than 21 million. So maybe that kind of
does something there. But there's a cerium there ICOs or
cryptocurrencies everywhere, it's creating something out of
nothing that to me, to me is worth nothing.
You think they could end badly that is that will end?
Okay, it'll end when governments when people lose a lot of money,
the government's gonna come down when people say they use it as
an investment, or becomes too big when government say we want
to control it now. And I've had many people say, Well, how can
you control Bitcoin? Very simple. If I said to him in this
room, if you buy yourself Bitcoin, a bet the bias of the
coin, or bet anything, we're gonna put you in jail, it's
over. And you watch what's gonna happen in China, it doesn't mean
people won't do it. It just means it'll be the black market,
which is a whole different thing.
Exactly. And this is precisely where it's going. It's just like
the, the over the counter, the OTC market, you know, 10 years
ago, whatever there was free for all, anybody could jump in, do
whatever they wanted. People were making millions of losing
millions people had no idea what they were doing. And then that's
changed how? Oh, by restricting the number of trades you can do
on a daily basis, and you need to have $25,000 in equity in
order to be a day trader more than three trades every four
days.
And that's determined by the exchange or is that dealt by the
government? dividual brokers FINRA,
FINRA, so these that the individual brokers only i
believe i I'm pretty sure that Well, I'm sure you're self
regulating like this. No, you can't get themselves regulated.
That's, that's a self regulating. But yeah, that'll
happen. And they're going to shut down the exchanges. That's
that's the fallacy of the whole thing. That argument that it's
money, shut up. It's not money. It's just not money. Well, it's
you can invest in anything you can invest in toothpicks or
tulips.
Tube tulips is a good example. I'm investing in tulips as we
speak. So I got to London stories. Yeah, but you have the
Uber story probably Yeah. The Uber story Mazal start with
that. Okay.
Also in London, it is Uber and out. The city said today you
will not renew the ride hailing companies license. Uber has 21
days to appeal. Here's Jonathan biglietti. Back, to be honest,
did he enter JIKI is among the 40,000 Uber drivers whose future
is now unclear. You just recently bought this car. And
without Uber now you're gonna struggle to pay it back.
It's gonna it's going to be difficult. You know,
Uber has grown to 3.5 million customers here in about five
years, cutting into the market of the city's famed black cabs,
which date back to 1634.
Before it was available in London, I wouldn't get black cab
generally, because I just find it very expensive. When I came
out of
the cities Transport Authority said it had concerns about Ubers
lack of background checks on its drivers, as well as how the
company has handled allegations of sexual assault. But according
to police, there were two sexual assault complaints against Uber
in 2016. The same number as black cabs. black cab drivers
have fought against Uber since it moved to Europe. They say
Uber is under regulated, and we'll put them out of business.
Our money has been cut not by a lot by about 10 20%. Those has
been affected. Yeah, it was definitely.
Vincent Foster has been driving a cab for 38 years, and says
today, he's celebrating
foams tonight, I was gonna go we're gonna form a party. I was
gonna go to the pub.
Uber says the city chose to side with a small group of people
that wanted to limit consumer choice. Uber will challenge this
decision in court. Already. More than 300,000 people have signed
an online petition to keep Uber on the road. Anthony Jonathan
biglietti with happy London cab drivers. Thanks, Jonathan.
Coming up next,
stop the clip. Yeah, you know, I'm glad Jeff was cut and it
somehow you got nice. Alright.
I'm glad you brought that clip, because that is the same clip
we've played for from for an Uber controversy for the past
couple of years. And it was this clip that I have from, I think
this is Bloomberg, that it's so obvious like, this is their
business model. This is how this is how they scale. This is
probably somewhere in a PowerPoint deck. What
Ubers playbook has been is really just to go into cities,
forget about regulations, ignore regulators ignore politicians
and build their business. And once they build their business,
they often have very loyal riders who will help them lobby
their local representatives to keep Uber in the city.
That's the business model. That is what that's exactly what they
do. They know that their service is so desirable compared to what
is available. They don't give a crap about that's why they go in
with London was a little different. They did get a
license, but they just go in they they go as big as they can
they violate every rule, then they get kicked out. And then
the people of the city go, wow, we want it back. And it's
beautiful. I didn't realize that
I thought about that The Absolutely True what's going on?
This is structurally back in business. It's Yes,
it's a bit of take a couple of months or a year they don't
care. This is part of their business model. I just never so
obvious. It just never really dawned on me that we crap.
It's kind of a high tech model in general. Silicon Valley does
that kind of model.
Drug dealers use this?
It's like drug dealers. Yeah, drug dealers do it Sure. But
it's right maybe it's for Silicon Valley got this idea.
But they do this with the businesses a lot. I remember
when the 286 chip was out and I can name a couple of companies
that were they didn't care about getting the FCC to approve the
fact that it was radiating all over the place. It is rolled out
tons of machines and made a whole bunch of money enough
money so they can fight the FCC. This is like the you know the
criminal runs a smart criminal runs a Ponzi scheme and then
gets enough money that he can fight the you know, the
indictment. It's It's It's It's crooked. Yeah, it's a crooked
model. But very anyway, back to Britain we're doing these
British because I got the second one which I thought was kind of
interesting. Maybe uses it needs a little discussion. This is the
fat British
fish and chips fatty
fry UPS not to mention all the biscuits. Some of the most
tempting foods in Britain is not exactly what you call locale to
go some way to explain why the British have become among the
heaviest people in Europe. And the difficulty for many men
wanting to lose weight is that dieting programs tend to target
women. So a new club has been set up using another A British
national obsession to help men shed the pounds with the message
forget fry UPS focus on the football
they get a bunch of fat but both sides were a bunch of bad guys
are running around. It's quite funny. Now the British have not
changed their diet except for maybe there's some friendship
vacation that's taken place over the last 25 years where the boil
descend boiled that is is less than Vogue and never wasn't
Vogue. But then the French have gotten come into these lots of
gourmet restaurants in New England and they're dynamite and
but as you get small portions and it's not the same as eating
pasties all the time, right Patsy's whatever they're called.
And faces I think it's something else. Anyway, they diet hasn't
changed. They've always been eating this crap. So what are
they suddenly getting fat all of a sudden? Yeah, I think it's
because I think they've gotten which same thing has happened in
this country? I think that the food supply has been poisoned.
Yes. And a lot of Brits do they eat for the stuff from the gas
station. Gas Station. I don't think that's new. Yeah, but the
ingredients of the stuff at the gas station maybe I think
that yes, this American wheat. Oh, gluten, even wheat it's the
gluten free and we get some others kind of crazy.
What is sorghum what is it?
No it's not it's it's a you know some derivative it's it's not
Russian Red or anything that we've known for in the past it's
just toxic and I think that the way they age the weak because
you have to weed has to be age. It's all done chemically. It's
not done by actually aging and I just think that the food
supplies has been poisoned I think the British are not
getting the brunt of it. I mean good we already fat and out I
mean you're in Texas you can look around
well, we know that they had poison eggs in in Britain.
Yeah, with the poison eggs. Another story which I did not
clip which has to do with the
we've already talked about that. I talked about that. Just okay.
Just I want to I want to stay in Europe. But I do need to mention
that one of our producers decided based upon your
recommendation. He was inspired to make the Alto massage chicken
for his family and friends. And everybody loved it. He pieced
together the menu from online sources. He says his delicious
the garlic mayo sauce goes with his dynamite. And the whole
recipe is in the shownotes today at 967 dot no agenda notes.com.
This is fantastic. And it has been marinated for hours
overnight and the whole thing's in there. Good. The rest of
them lasted on the last show. This is a this is a welcome
relief.
This why bring it up. Spain. We have now 16,000 The riot police
on the cruise ships in Barcelona.
Getting ready very seriously. This is
taking this extremely seriously. But to me the most surprising
news of the day from Euro land was a statement from the Danish
Prime Prime Minister. It's no longer that hottie Will Obama
was all over.
Yeah, she's actually did become the head of some organization I
saw. Yes. She's
somebody you muckety muck now I'm sure Yeah, something like
that. Yeah. This is Lars Rasmussen, we know him as well.
He in his speech, he acknowledged that Muslims have
taken control of parts of Denmark. In fact, I have his
direct quote here and not a clip, obviously. Hold on. Let me
get the
this is kind of interesting, because it's the Danish were the
most adamant about keeping Muslims out?
Yeah, it is a matter of being realistic about the situation
you said. And there are areas where it is already a different
set of rules where the gangs are in control, and the police
cannot work. I cannot sit passively let it happen. We have
tried everything possible. We could just we just could not
solve the problem. And he called on Danish Parliament to engage
us in a different in a more robust way. And they're also the
happiest people on Earth. We must remember this.
Yeah, well, they're obviously the most didn't need to let this
happen. Yeah.
Well remember that this has been bubbling This is Andres Brevik.
That how will happen in Denmark?
Denmark, such a small country for this. Yeah. They don't need
this aggravation. I mean, Brazil has this problem where you have
two governments like that ready gate government and the real
government and the favelas are run Yes.
And there's crap going on there now to the police are going in
shooting it all up. Yes. That's a rough go just sticking with
your for a moment. Ryanair. There's a lot of trouble with
this low budget airline. And they are the UK based I think,
Ryanair No. Yeah, but like the British Isles or Ireland. I
think they're they're
based guys some one of those offshore things This was a clip
thing. So I think
the pilots are really mad. But it's about pay. And the main.
Well, there's a lot of issues which this clip will will show
as this is a pilot, a Ryanair pilot he calls into LBC, the
London broadcast, that radio station that Faraj is always on.
And what London's broadcast company Corporation. Oh, no,
it's
London's best conversation. Oh, yes, I'm like that. Yeah,
Linda's best conversation,
then what caught my ear about this is the fact that they are
all on zero hour contracts the pilots. And we know that this is
the scam that is being implemented in Europe.
Christina, my daughter had this had this was a part of a lot of
kids, you get the zero hours. So they cannot. They don't have to
fire you. They don't have to give you benefits because you
have you know, it's a zero hour contract. Yeah. But they could
just not, they can just not invite you to come work. And
that's how they keep their workforce flexible, which is a
hack around the very strict labor regulations in the EU
where you can't just fire someone without a number of
specific legal reasons. And in listening to this clip about the
Zero Hour contract, we reveal a little bit more about the guy,
the guys who were flying your aircraft, and I trust them, but
it's the psychological part that is dangerous. In this case,
processes
were led out of flight school. Right, I will charge him 300
euros for interviews. This is all the lioness recruitment
websites out there.
So you have to pay to have an interview with Ryanair to be a
part of it
gets worse than this. You have to pay 300 euros for the
interview. If you're successful, you then have to pay Ryanair
29,500 euros to be trained on Orion aircraft. Following that,
then get given a zero hour contract via an agency to become
a self employed set up an Irish Limited Company. Zero contract
much like people seem to think zero contracts are just a cancer
amongst low paid work it's spread it's really bad banks the
moment that people are removed in the houses you're asking
their wives, inheritances, it's shocking after after they start
their job it'll be about six months before they get a penny
from mine. So they have to go through their training all the
learning costs no salary during training after combinative sell
to the trained in East Midlands or Amsterdam. find accommodation
homes, food etc. People live in index after six months then when
they start following their passions online they'll be paid
20 euros an hour when his first few months from about 1500 euros
a month.
So once he's gone through all that 29,000 for training, three
300 Just to talk to him then six months no pay then the training
could take place in Amsterdam which means you have to find a
place to stay in Amsterdam not paid for that. Then when you
finally get your zero hour contract which includes a
incorporating in Ireland for the buyer that you get 20 euros an
hour.
Wow. By the way, yes, it is an Irish company. Yeah.
It is not scandalous. It's not the headspace you want your
pilot to be in and pilots are leaving they're giving up the
whole profession. They've just given it up. And no doubt the
airlines are really it's clear the airlines want the next gen
pilotless aircraft Well, great. That's when I when I get a
touring bus. I'm not a big fan of that.
Is you know, I know I was on a plane where apparently all these
planes have to be there already. They could borderline be
pilotless because they do automatic landing and takeoffs.
And so, but they have to test his gear every so often. And I
was on a Alaskan Air flight where they were testing the
automatic landing. But
that's not just that lands. They do that all the time. You can
you know what I'm talking about where there's completely there's
the all hands on. I know that's happens all the time. Well, I
but it was not a pleasant experience.
Okay, tell me what was bad about it.
It landed, bounced off the ground way up into the air and
then landed again. And when the host is wherever the stewardess
comes, Hello, Miss Leggett hostess, she comes on and she
says, Well, welcome to Oakland. Both times we've been here twice
now, some some snide remark about this, this. And then she
explained that there was they were testing some automatic
landing equipment. And it was just a horrible I mean, this
thing just went it must have gone up 50 feet.
That's bad. Yeah, it's not supposed to do that. No, it's
supposed to land. Yeah, well, that part of the car under
perfect that that does kind of work pretty well. I just have a
couple more things here. Equifax, we have no more news
about them.
The details are though this isn't the same hack that expose
143 million customers, but it's the same group of hackers.
Right?
Well, you right there, there are definitely two different
incidents, incidents here. There's one that happens in
March and there's one that Equifax learns about in July.
But keep in mind here, Equifax has not told this has not said
anything about the earlier incident. They hired the same
security company Mandiant for both. And until we call them and
said, Look, we're going to report this right had been not
saying that there was there was only one. So bottom line is they
haven't really been very transparent. And which means
that they're breaking the first rule after a major data breach.
You gotta get all the bad news out. Oh, yeah, at once,
or everyone's gonna be speculating the worst. Oh, I
mean, is there an explanation why they didn't disclose it? No,
they
basically said, Look, we have to disclose it, but we still have
followed all the disclosure regulations and what the effects
will be that's what they're saying is there wasn't evidence
that any data that would trigger a disclosure was taken. So in
other words, the legally they only have to disclose if they
can if there's evidence that that certain kinds of sensitive
personal information leave the network shorter that they don't
have to say anything, but it raises a lot of complicated
questions. Is this is this the same intruders where they kicked
out and did they come back? Are they did they just get hit twice
with two major breaches within a few months, none of that looks
particularly good in terms when it comes to to their security.
Elizabeth Warren should be calling for a full scale audit
of all these types of outfits. And notice they've hired
Mandiant which is a fire eyes subsidiary, Pew Pew, pew pew and
they just didn't report it wasn't necessary. Okay. These
guys are carrying operations guys sock crooked and they so
by the way, Captain Jeff in the chat room reminds me auto
landing. Yes. About 1% of the time, auto takeoff. Never he
says Never. Okay, just so you know, I I've never witnessed one
so I don't know, I guess no. So he says no, never. The Mel
Brooks is in London. Oh, is he? Yeah, Mel Brooks now he is he
considered a comedian a filmmaker?
What does he call as the above all of the above and actor
and we the reason I pulled this clip is because we've often
talked about movies of his that he made the could just never be
remade will be made in that in this time. And then especially
Blazing Saddles, Blazing Saddles will be the one that's the one
that that this clip is about. And I
think nowadays Young Frankenstein wouldn't wouldn't
get get off the ground. Well,
Young Frankenstein is what just premiered on London's West End.
Yeah, I know that make it into a play. Yes. So he
and I think the play you can do anything you want to play right.
But we'll see what happens when that when that comes to
Broadway, we'll see how well that is received. The BBC to
have a chance to catch up with him. When you look
at the films you've made Blazing Saddles that produces Young
Frankenstein, do you think you could get them made today?
No. No, I mean, maybe young, Frankenstein, maybe a few, but
never Blazing Saddles. Because we have become stupidly
politically correct. Which is the death of comedy. It's okay.
Not to hurt feelings of various tribes and groups. And however,
it's not good for comedy. Comedy has to walk a thin line, take
risks. Comedy is the lecherous little elf whispering into the
king's ear, always telling the truth, always telling the truth
about human behavior,
always telling the truth about human behavior. So the death of
comedy is nigh.
Yeah, well, you could tell that Amy was bitching about this
being more involved in the comedic scene than me about she
went to a comedy day, which is she doesn't work there, which is
an annual event in San Francisco. And she says, I don't
go to it. She says that J and Nick went to it with her. And
they serve beer. They're part of the concessions. People. And
they she says it all she heard every comic Trump Trump, Trump,
Trump, Trump, Trump Trump. She says it was horrible that nobody
says she said none of them were funny now, and all they did was
Trump joke Trump Trump Trump, and she said was pathetic. She's
It was horrible.
What was it we were watching the other night on Netflix and it
was also just it was just too to put to one side of the political
it was just not now. I can't remember now may come to me
after the show. I'm sure it'll come to me. Well, obviously,
eventually but yeah, it's the death
of comedy.
Well, let's talk about something that
I'm calling 10 minutes. I'm actually I'm calling last clip
for you.
Okay. Well I better pick one I'm gonna pick a clip that was a
couple of clips I have. I could do the one a one two punch. I'm
gonna
end this on a high note. So you can do whatever you want.
But let's do sports versus Trump then.
Yes, you know, the love of my life to the keeper this morning.
First thing she said. What the hell was Trump doing? Why is he
talking about sports? I mean, just do other shit. Well, here's
here's the answer. The clip is the answer. Well, yes.
This is a clip two, which is the kicker. We'll play that after a
break.
would you love to see one of these NFL owners? When somebody
disrespects our flag to say get that son of up the field right
now out he's fired.
When President Trump rally voters in Huntsville, Alabama
Friday night, he veered into a sideline attack on the NFL
because that's a total disrespect of our heritage.
Including this recommendation for NFL fans. If
you see it, even if it's one player leaves the stadium I
guarantee things will stop.
Last season San Francisco 40 Niners quarterback Colin
Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem to protest
racism. This season. He hasn't been signed by an NFL team on
Twitter Trump double down saying that all professional athletes
who disrespect the flag should be fired and preemptively
withdrawing a White House invitation to basketball
superstar Steph Curry, the President's comments stirred
fury online. You bomb tweeted Lebron James. Going to White
House was a great honor until you showed up. The NFL players
union and many players themselves also rushed to defend
what they see as free speech. Does anyone tell Trump to stick
to politics like they tell us to stick to sports tweeted lines
tight end Eric Ebron we will never back down at the head of
the NFL players union.
Sports has not been an escape from politics for a good long
time.
Professor Lee ego is with New York University's Tisch
Institute for sports
in terms of talking to athletes, their managers who are about to
instruct them on what they can do their coaches who will do the
same. But they're not all that great about letting other people
tell them what to do.
Now, a couple of things in that report. One is the Lebron things
you bomb. It was actually you bomb and there was at Steph
Curry has given Korea a bad time. And I think it was I think
it was tongue in cheek to be honest about it, but they played
it straight. And I have to say especially especially with
football, basketball, to a lesser extent, these are not
military events. I do not understand why the National
Anthem has anything to do with with a professional football
game. I've always I wouldn't sit I mean, I'd stand because you
got to the flag and these guys are walking around. But well, we
know the military pays for all kinds of military procedures to
take place. Yes,
and they should they should. They should stop taking their
money they're recruiting in a military event. It's a
recruiting event that you have to always recruiters at the
game.
So let's go a sports. Well, about that. But sports versus
Trump too
late today, Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors accepted the
President's decision to withdraw a White House invitation, saying
the team will instead visit Washington to celebrate
equality, diversity and inclusion, Karina
where's that? Where's that meeting?
So there's always they're still gonna go to Washington but
they're not gonna go to the White House and they're gonna
celebrate inclusion and diversity. Are they gonna do
this? Both the bus be some monument to this I don't know
roaming around Washington celebrating inclusion. This is
stupid.
version gives you a bunch of football guys saying diversity,
inclusion, basketball guys, whatever. It's all the same.
But different states. Idiotic, this whole thing is ridiculous.
Yeah, that doesn't answer the question why the President does
it. Why does he have other than what he said was I hadn't heard
him say he's a populist.
He's just appealing to the masses. He just somebody thinks
he should do. Benny what he said was, I don't even think he
watches basketball. No,
but what he said was if someone does that, just leave the
stadium.
Yeah, you already paid for your ticket. Yeah. So what's that
going to accomplish?
Why Be interesting to see if anyone did that. Nobody would do
it.
I don't think came to see the game. They just put up with this
stuff at the beginning.
Well, Oh, apparently there was a church shooting in Tennessee
today show day that would make sense. And my last clip is just
something nice. I picked up just to put us in a good mood and
good vibe. We have a incredible grackle problem in Austin.
I have no idea what a grackle is a great bird. It's a bird. Yeah.
And it's the one that makes a bunch of racket. Yes, a black
bird. Yeah,
I know about that. It looks a bit like crows are smaller than
a CRO. And they're noisy, the heb on all tours here. And they
get everywhere. They poop everywhere. But they're noisy.
And then they come on around dawn. And they sit on the wires,
they sit on the on the electrical wires, the phone
wires, the 1000s of them just all next to each other. And it's
eerie, it's really eerie, because it's just deafening the
sound and isn't in the parking lot at the grocery store. And
there's this one. So some guys found a spot where the wires are
strong, horizontally, at least it looks that way on top of each
others and there was it it represented a musical scale to
what had been on your five What is it your eight bar whatever it
is on like a musical notation. And what he did is he took a
picture of the grackle sitting there and he played those exact
notes as they appear on that in the picture as notes on the
musical timeline. Does that make sense? Yeah, and here it is.
Granted needs a bit more cowbell. But I think it's
pretty. I think is bull crap. is arranged it that's why we show
up twice a week. Just to hear a zinger like that everybody.
