Just being it just being it that Dan Dennett that that that just
being it,
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
December 7 2017 This is your award winning give our nation
media assassination episode nine or eight. This is no agenda
winding up the sticks to save LA and broadcasting live from
downtown Austin Tejas Capitol dome starting here in the studio
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm expecting the worst.
And John C. Dvorak is Greg Levin Buzzkill.
Yeah, how far are you from from any of this junk load?
350 miles?
Oh, okay. So you're foreign. I know a guy who's in Santa
Barbara. And it's like, eight miles away. Yeah. We're Oprah
lives. I mean, they can't be done. You can't you can't burn
down Oprah's
place burned down Santa Barbara, that's for sure. But the shots
from the 405 going through just nothing but flames on either
side of the road.
Real unreal. That was this drive. Is this typical for
California from hell? through hell.
Is this typical for California? No. Global warming man.
No, I understand. It's global warming. But we've been Had this
been going on for years the global warming so I wonder if
maybe it's
just it's just a confluence of two things. One, we had the too
much rain. And then that area, especially in the Ventura County
area, apparently had been overgrowing for years and there
had been no fires there because we have all these fires in
Southern California when the Santa Ana winds. And so when
this thing took off, it just took off like a rocket. Wow.
It's bad. Well, I mean, you have 70 to 70 mile an hour winds,
right? This same thing happened in Napa Valley. We had these
reverse winds that come off the desert and they just they're dry
and they are high speed and they use something lights it just
like a blowtorch.
Well, I think we should do it for him then.
Okay, I don't I kind of resist this because of the East Coast
getting pummeled. Yeah, and we have rain here now. But by the
way, I think also the East Coast getting pummeled as long as
Moses Lake effect snow which have nothing to do with the rain
stick.
Exactly. That sticks do not do snow. They only do rain. As far
as we know.
Yeah, the rain sticks.
I ready? You want to do it?
We got to do three. So three for reading. 123 When you stop, oh,
I'm already in sequence. I can't stop one. Two it's gonna rain
like be too late. But it's gonna rain like, like crazy. And
Austin is always how it goes. Well, I don't know a bit too
late or not. I feel we should still give it a shot for our
brothers and sisters. And
we didn't have a few requests. Yeah. So that anyway, do you
have a TV or anything monitoring the news?
No, I don't should Is that something that
Franken does?
Yeah, I mean, the I guess the idea is that he resigns today.
Well, there's that's never been confirmed by his office.
I have. I'm thinking, I have a bunch of Al Franken clips. Let
me start with a background or go quick background or ABC. We're
at about two dozen senators now including some male senators.
But the majority of the female senators, I believe, also the
chairman of the Democratic National Committee, calling on
him to resign. It is a coordinated effort to push him
out, which is a striking departure from the effort to
rally behind him and around him that's dominated since the the
story is first broke. I think in part, it's driven by new
accusations, new revelations. But I think more broadly, it's a
recognition of this cultural moment, this societal moment
that we're in the contrast with Republicans who have rallied
behind Roy Moore, the RNC re endorsing him, President Trump
offering that endorsement as well, I think could not be more
stark. And I think that's one point for Democrats. I think
it's even bigger than that, though. I think Democrats are
realizing now look, we cannot say that we stand in solidarity
with the women who say they say that they've suffered at the
hands of powerful men without showing by example, that there
is accountability. And the fact that John Conyers, the senior
most dense member of Congress, House or Senate happens to be a
Democrat, resigned his seat this week. That's the beginning of
that accountability. And there have been several senators. Al
Franken is colleagues who have come out just the last few
minutes and said their expectation is that Senator
Franken resigned his seat tomorrow, Democrats who realized
this is a bigger moment than they can potentially harness.
They realized that women are frustrated and angry. Many of
them are running for office now for the first time citing this
sort of treatment and Demmick in society. And I think they're
looking at this and they want that contrast. And whatever
happens in Alabama next week. I don't think he's going to be
impacted by Al Franken in Minnesota and whatever his
decision is, but I think Democrats would like to say,
look, when we had a problem in our own ranks, we did something
about it. Look at what the report Hawkins have done and use
that as a voter to make a judgement.
There's your strategy.
Another similar one from ABC, which is report. coordinated
attack on Franken.
For some Oh, yeah. Interesting. You put little dashes in front.
Do you do that? No, no, no. database.
The cascade of calls for Al Franken to go started this
morning with a handful of women senators. Enough is enough. It
appeared to be a coordinated strike one after another, they
flooded social media. By the end of the day, at least 38 senators
were calling on Franken to resign for saying he should
resign. I get no pride or pleasure in saying that. Thank
you. Just days ago, most Democrats were holding their
fire. This was Senator Patty Murray of Washington that the
Senate Ethics Committee should do an investigation and that's
where I believe it should
just FYI. He resigned about 30 minutes ago. Oh, he
did resign. Yeah, he's done.
But today a starkly different tone. Murray tweeting. I'm
shocked and appalled by Senator Franklin's behavior. It's clear
to me that this has been a deeply harmful persistent
problem and a clear pattern over a long period of time. What was
the tipping point here? Why today that numerosity and, and
the type of complaints and accusations just hours earlier
another woman had come forward saying Frank and forcibly kissed
her. The senator denies that allegation. Tonight. Eight women
in total have accused Franken of sexual misconduct. The first
radio host Leann tweetin, who released this photo.
I think today's revelations just further at add to a fact pattern
here. That's just unacceptable.
Franken has apologized and promised to make amends. I know
there are no magic words that I can say, to regain your trust.
But tonight the trust of his colleagues now appears last for
good.
All right, Mary Bruce live back on the hill again tonight. And
Mary, you've been working your sources. What do we know about
this promised announcement from Senator Franken?
Well, David frankenz office tonight says no final decision
has been made but multiple democratic sources tell us he is
in fact expected to announce his resignation tomorrow.
Okay, troll room update. Apparently he announced his
future resignation, whatever that means, or his pending
resignation.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
And now it's time
for your sexual harassment update.
Yes, it is.
Well, here's what I was the I was looking at this and now of
course, the the. And I think this may be true, but Tom Arnold
brought it up into a series of tweets. Now everybody's tweeting
about it. And it's a disgusting deadline. Hollywood, the online
publication I think is owned by variety. That Roger stones
behind this whole thing.
Yeah, he's heard about that. It could be I mean, he's that kind
of guy.
Well, it makes sense. Because the one thing that stone stone
is one of those guys who can't just do stuff and shut up about
it, right? Yeah,
he has to take credit all the time. And that is
a weakness, but you have to look for the cues. And it was it was
actually mentioned in this Atlantic article, which I want
to discuss, which is I booted, it's titled I believe frankenz
accusers because he groped me to write and then and it has a
subhead, which I think is misleading, which is the
Democrat party needs to stand with women who have been
harassed and not defend the politicians who abuse them. Who
are they the words of politicians they've been
defending?
The Democrats? Yeah.
The male politicians have been defended so far. Not
really any I guess. No, of
course not none. No article goes on. It's another woman who I
want to just read a couple things. Here's a sentence in
this article, Roger Stone had tweeted that the touchy Franken
was about to be exposed six hours before the story draw Gox
and that's to me is like okay, this is stone again either good
to know about in advance and so I think that that was the
giveaway that he may be behind his whole thing and he had
manipulated the woman tweeting, but I'm gonna read a few quotes
from this the woman who wrote this article who is a I don't
know she sounds like kind of a tough chick. And Tina Dupree
radio thing you should take a look at. Is she hot? She's very
pretty. Tea. Dup you why?
Yes. All right. Imagine she has a radio show your show. She's
not a podcaster. She has a radio
show. I think she looks like she but she's like to tie she goes
running up to Rankin and she wants a picture for a mom
according to the article, and he grabbed her around the waist, he
doesn't grab her ass. He grabs her around the waist and
squeezes a couple times, I'm gonna read a couple quotes. Not
that I had no she hears, like a background and not that I had an
interest in politics and grandstanding. She puts that in
there, kind of a guilty thing, right? Like grandstanding.
I'm not trying to do this. And that's never a good thing. Never
do that.
Not knowing that I had an interest in politics and in
grandstanding at 14, I ran a scorched earth campaign to make
the entire group home I lived in recycle my father, district
office of representative George Miller, and it was so she's not
like a naive. Yeah,
we also have to make a distinction between something
that is done within the power structure, such as an employer
employee, been any other type of relationship, whether one party
has some form of power over the other, and, you know, just being
a douchebag. I mean, there's, there are some subtle
differences, it doesn't mean that he isn't still a douchebag
we'll assume he's a douchebag. Right? But we have to also, you
know, be a little more tolerant in this, she comes rushing up to
him by our own accounts, and cuz she wants to get a selfie with
for her mom. And so she, you know, she runs up, I need a
picture with you and me. So he thinks, and I don't know, if
you've had pictures taken with a group of pupils yet, your arms
are cut, you're either gonna be scrunched up look like in any or
you put your arms around them. So you put your arms around, he
puts his arm around her, he says, Then she's she says, I'm
reading now. We pose for the shot, he immediately put his
hand on my waist, grabbing a handful of flesh. I froze. Then
he squeezed at least twice. Okay, well, she throws whatever.
Then she says, and this is interesting. I've been married
for two years at the time, I didn't let my husband touch me
like that in public, because I believe it diminishes me as a
professional woman. So So here's a woman who is a grandstander,
but she won't let her husband put his arm around her and give
her a kind of a squeeze or tweak that little boob tweak. Come on.
It wasn't a boob tweak. It was around his waist or her waist.
There is no boob tweak. Oh, it wasn't saying she if she doesn't
like her husband to put his arm around her the way Frank and did
it again. Give her a little a little squeeze. What kind of a
marriage is this?
I don't want to comment on that. I don't know.
That said that. She says she says this up this event, which
nobody apparently noticed. But her event she says it shrunk me.
It's like it was no longer a person. Only ornamental. Well,
here it is, John. The problem is, these are the differences in
what what what douchebags are doing. And I think it turns out
to be that there's more douchebag men in the world than
not when it comes to women.
I disagree. I think there's a lot of them. I don't think
there's during the month you just said they're the majority.
I
think they are I think they think but but but I'm not saying
necessarily that they're grabbing or doing anything like
that. But they they speak in degrading tones without maybe
even realizing it. But yeah, I think that I think the majority
of men do that. I do. Okay, good. I'm glad I've thought
about it. Like, you know, every every guy I know. And yeah, and
obviously we could be we could fit into we could be shoved into
any category. But you know, we're doing a show and it's it's
a little different. I don't walk around town talking like this
and say, Hey, she hot away. I actually do.
Two of us you're right. You're you're definitely that way.
Yeah. Yeah.
Let me just finish this. Yeah. And so she goes on and she says
the diminished her you don't matter. And I do. He wanted to
accomplish feel and he demonstrated he didn't need my
permission. You know, she throws him and there's a picture of the
two of them and he's there head to head kind of a shot. She
didn't have to do that. And she's leaning into him. nearly
20 years ago during the Kenneth Starr investigation President
Bill Clinton I was taking night classes and a listen to this.
She won't let her husband give her a Publix squeezed but listen
to this. I was taking night classes waiting tables and
chasing boys who look like Ricky Martin.
Okay. No, this
is not this woman has got to get her act if that's what she's
saying. She's saying I was chasing boys who looked like
Ricky Martin. That's kind of sexist said that's sexist.
Yeah, totally sexist. So she's a psycho.
I'll just leave it at that. All right.
And but I we got a nasty note from somebody from the
newsletter, one of our female listeners who said, we're a
couple of pigs for suggesting that this is you know, that two
guys can make any can make any commentary on sexual harassment.
But
you know what if I saw one woman who was making a good
commentary, then it wouldn't be necessary, but it's not. In
fact, I'm going to jump ahead just a tad here. Let me grab
this
Where did I put this? Oh, here we go.
Oh, man, keep going. I'll find it because it's in a different
category. I gotta find it now.
All right. Well, anyway, the point is is that that this
Franken thing I've suggested using the power of Twitter that
he not resigned and and realize that he is being the Democrats
bring it up all the time he is being bullied. This is bullying,
not all of it. It's all bullying. The fact that in you
had the clip I had the clip that this thing was was a group of
women starting off that were ganging up on him and bullying
him. He's being bullied by women. Well, let's
listen to two of them. This is Lois Frankel, Democrat from
Florida, Florida.
This Congress with a unanimous voice vote passed the resolution
that mandates anti sexual harassment training for members
and staff. Well, of course, it's about time. But here's the
thing, Mr. Speaker, it is pitiful and embarrassing, that a
member of Congress would need a instructive manual that tells
them that they must keep their pants on in their office.
What's wrong with that? What we need is to
create an environment, an environment of a safe and
respectful workplaces and policies and procedures that
will allow victims to come forward to be fully compensated
for members to be held accountable and to have fair due
process.
That is the thing that I believe is lacking in a lot of this.
Because when you know Franken was also one of the more recent
allegations was anonymous.
I think that's an issue. That's the latest good mouth kissing
tongue in the mouth,
the event, I think. Right. Yeah. Right. But when it's anonymous,
you know you. I mean, it's not a court case. But it when you're
anonymous, usually doesn't work that way. I mean, even we even
have a sixth amendment that says that you have the right to face
your witnesses, the witnesses and accusers, of whatever crime.
And yeah, but this
is yeah, but this is a witch hunts default. Yes,
it is. And that's that's exactly my point. A witch hunt is very
different. And it can be applied anywhere. And this is kind of my
point. If you listen to this, this just a quick, quick, quick
hit here. This was on some Democratic strategist that
Tucker Carlson had Honestly, the only thing that's important is
what she says right in the beginning, and I've talked
discussed this with several women.
Last thing I want to do is put myself in a position to appear
to defend Al Franken, my No well and have never cared for don't
think he's a good senator think it's kind of creepy. This is all
possible as far as I'm concerned. But I'm very struck
by a couple of things. And one is the pivot that the entire
Democratic Conference in the Senate seems to have made a year
and a half ago, they were defending Hillary Clinton,
whoever would nose attacked, the women who accused her husband of
sexual harassment and assault, she attacked them belittled
them. And they were defending her and today they're saying on
the basis of anonymous accusations that they can't even
bear to serve with Al Franken, where were they a year and a
half ago? So there's a couple of things wrong with that
statement. First, I think we can all agree that we'd be better
off if the women were in charge that
way, because I see that that statement right there. I hear
over and over again. We all know, as if it's the fact that
things would run much better. When What if or when women are
in charge.
And, and that's like you die so that
I can't do it right now, but I will. And first of all, I think
they truly play they truly believe it. And it was
interesting. I was talking with the Tina last night. And you
know, she says well, you know, yeah, if give women a chance,
and I said well, I just want it. Do you know how many female CEOs
there are fortune 500 companies and she was quite surprised when
I gave her the list. And I just want to get I'll just give you
the list real quick. Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, Ginni
Romney, CEO of IBM, we have noil Indra Nooyi who is CEO of
PepsiCo, we have Marilyn Hewson, CEO of Lockheed Martin is not
and this is not small companies. Meg Whitman Of course, HP. We
have Safra Catz of Oracle I mean, the list goes on and on
this
huge listen to companies are monsters. Lockheed Martin being
the most impressive. Yeah, I'm seeing this woman. Nobody's ever
seen her. No.
And that's what Tina said. She said, Well, no one ever talks
about that. All you hear is the feminist saying that we get no
shot. I said, Well, clearly this something's working within
corporate America. I mean, it's not you're in no means them in
the majority. But it's not like these are small.
I'm actually stunned that she didn't know all this. In fact, I
think it's probably pretty common. Exactly. They'll shake
their fist, but then at the same time, Hey, what are you gonna
do? I mean, these women are running these companies. And in
some cases, like Jenny's at IBM, she's running it into the
ground. She's not doing a good job at all. The company has been
hasn't made a nickel since she's been there.
Yeah,
so let's talk about my favorite. Over there. Yahoo. I was really
rooting for her Marissa Oh, I was never rooting fire was
always rooting for I wanted to win. I wanted her to win. Well,
I
found that was what what did she ever do and it before she got
this job, she jumps from being a kind of an ambassador for Google
gets to go to all the conferences and look pretty and
then they just make her a CEO of when these incredibly large
company out of the blue and everyone's Oh, yes, yes. Who
know how about letting her pay a few dues and maybe getting you
know a few jobs in between mother jerk or right to the top
right. And then they give her like a $50 million. Golden
Handcuffs goodbye. She's like, she's a rich girl. Now. She's
gonna be the most eligible in town. Blue. I think she's
married.
There are a couple other cases that have come to light. One is
Shervin Pishevar. He's at Sherpa capital. And he's been accused
of sexual harassment. John Travolta's biopic of Gotti
supposed to be released, I think, in a week, pulled off the
slate, and that and that's a pretty big net. So let me see.
He's got his wife is in there. Kelly Preston, Stacy Keach.
Kevin Connolly. There's there's probably some to me this is
probably going to be a decent movie, but they're not taking
any risks. And then in our ongoing what is the risk? The
risk is that the way things are going, you can say to somebody
so Travolta it's not it hasn't really quite popped open because
it's a gay thing. But he's
coming but what but I still want to know what's the risk? Oh, the
movie out and they're gonna get protests. Yes,
people will will not go to the movie. Well, that's different.
That's what I'm saying. That's why they won't roll it out. I
think the risk is that this great movie, like you just said
might come out and people aren't going to go to it and I can go
out of curiosity. I'd say they'd go more people. No, I don't
think so make the opposite argument.
Okay. Well, they've they've they've chosen this path. Then
we have another Netflix and as you know, we we see that this is
we believe this may be being misused by the big broadcasters
and studios to get rid of all those horrible Video on Demand
AI holes. And this is, let me see Danny Masterson.
He is He was named early.
While he is now been fired from the ranch amidst rape
allegations. The ranch is a Netflix show. And I like this.
Did you know that the Met opera has suspended conductor James
Levine
now that you mentioned it, let's just skip this this one by one
and go to Democracy Now with their sex rundown which includes
this and more.
Okay, here we go.
Who did not perpetrate sexual misconduct toward me nor have I
ever claimed that? But I now know for sure that he is a liar.
The more campaign said Trump told more in a phone call from
Air Force One on Monday quote, go get them Roy on Capitol Hill,
Texas Republican Congressman Blake Farenthold said we'll
return $84,000 to taxpayers after news emerged that he used
a congressional fun to settle a sexual harassment settlement
claim filed by his former communications director Lauren
green. Green says she's been forced to resort to babysitting
and other odd jobs to make ends meet after Farenthold
blackballed her from politics when she accused him of sexual
harassment, gender discrimination and creating a
hostile work environment. Meanwhile, another Texas
Republican 68 year old Joe Barton said Monday he's retiring
from Congress over a naked selfie that's appeared on social
media amidst revelations of extramarital affairs. Wow,
that guy got screwed. Hmm. Yeah, I mean, that's, that's the stuff
that I'm worried about is that people? I mean, if there was
between two consenting adults, whether he's cheating on his
wife or not is irrelevant. It may be well Live into an
election. You know what someone's character naked
picture didn't help though.
The way he looked at the picture didn't help
it on social media amidst revelations of extramarital
affairs. Barton's retirement paves the way for a special
election in Texas is sixth district in Detroit. Congress
member John Conyers is expected to announce today he will not
resign from the house but will not run for reelection. Multiple
women accused Conyers of sexually harassing or groping
them charges he denies. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and
other top Democrats have called on Congress to step down.
Conyers grandnephew, Michigan State Senator Ian Conyers is
expected to announce he'll run for John Conyers seat in 2018.
Netflix says it will resume production of its popular House
of Cards series without former lead actor Kevin Spacey. More
than a dozen men accused spacey
Holy moly. I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, man. It's so there's
you're gonna kill him off. And they really clearly it's such a
successful show for them that they need to do something and
yeah, so I
think it's I don't think it's even that. I mean, the ratings
were dropping, but I think what was going on is that people are
gonna get irked if they didn't finish the thing with an end.
They gotta end Oh, okay, you're gonna watch this thing year
after year after year to binge binge binge and then they just
stop Stop
it. That's it, can't we? We don't care about sexual
harassment. You have to end our binge watching
it's popular House of Cards series without former lead actor
Kevin Spacey, after more than a dozen men accused spacey of
sexually harassing or assaulting them. Robin Wright will star in
a shortened eighth episode final season of the show. Elsewhere,
the School of American Ballet has removed its longtime teacher
Peter Martin's while the school and the New York City Ballet
conducted joint investigation into a sexual harassment claim
against him. In New York City, John Hockenberry the recently
retired host of public radio station WNYC is the takeaway has
been accused of sexual harassment, unwanted touching
and bullying by several female colleagues and vice media has
fired three of its employees over what the company called
verbal and sexual harassment and other unspecified behavior.
Oh, what a great list.
And you here's the interesting thing about Hockenberry he's in
a wheelchair.
Oh, hey. So doesn't mean he can't harass, equal opportunity.
Who knew? Who knew? Wow.
Oh, by the way, there is a Sacramento kicker which probably
should play which is actually followed this report is sec sec.
Doe kicker.
Sacramento
and in Sacramento, California lobbyists Pamela Lopez his name
democratic Assemblyman Matt de Bob native of Los Angeles as the
lawmaker who sexually assaulted her forcing her into a Las Vegas
hotel bathroom last year and masturbating in front of her.
Bob Ney has denied the allegation. This is Pamela Lopez
speaking from her office on Monday.
This is a moment of collective action. Many women have stepped
forward and said, Me too. I've been sexually harassed or I've
been sexually assaulted in my workplace, and it's taken
courage.
She said workplace she said oh, you said workplace I thought she
said workplace
Well, I don't know maybe I'm wrong.
Listen again. Place. Place. She says place
sexually assaulted in my workplace and slipped sexually
assaulted in my workplace. It's taken courage for them to do
that.
Yeah. What is it? Guys who think? Wait, stop, stop. This is
a serious mental condition
that I don't understand. Why we're the guys
who grabbed these women make them make them. And by the way,
how do you do that? You get you're kind of busy. It seems to
me you got one hand you know doing something and you you hold
in the other one I'm What do you does it make sense that they
have to sit there and watch Oh, they just could be mad at the
guy and walk out. Kick him
in kick him in the balls. Kick him in the balls. I mean, but
you know this, but this is the point John John's help women?
No, it's not. But this is the point. If it's your boss, if
it's in a workplace situation. You don't feel that brave
necessarily. Maybe now women will I hope so. She was a
lobbyist. Doesn't mean that she's not that she wouldn't be
afraid it just was lobbyists or cutthroat holes doesn't mean
that she didn't have issues when this took place. I can
understand it. I remember when I was sexually harassed. It was
hashtag me too. I was hitchhiking. I was like 14
Hitchhiking home from school. Can't believe my pair So let me
do that. In a car stop got in the front, we're driving, and it
was probably about 25 minute drive. And the guy starts
massaging his crotch. And I see it out of the corner of my eye
and exactly, the beaches are open. And, and I and I see that
the corner, I must be mistaken. They was just a little
adjustment or something. And I remember he said, Hey, you know,
we could always pull over and I'm like, Yeah, pull over let me
out now. He said, Roberto, no, don't worry. But now let me out
and and I got out and I was shaken. I was really shaken. It
was just because he was basically doing the same thing.
It's frightening. Yeah,
well, creepy. It is.
Now though, it's getting very interesting is a great time to
be alive. Great time to be a podcaster. It's a great time to
be a podcast, Facebook is deleting posts, and I believe
maybe Twitter as well. of women calling men scum or trash are
now being deleted by the either the deletion content deletion
team or some algo as hate speech.
It is hate
speech it is but I don't I don't give a crap. It shouldn't be
deleted.
Because that ruins our show, because we like to read from
Facebook.
We do anything? Maybe later. Okay, good. Yeah.
So speaking of Gene Simmons was on I think it was on the BBC. I
don't know why he gets invited on the other shows and he likes
going on. And so they were talking about the me too,
hashtag me to campaign sexual harassment, etc. And you know,
that he was, I guess the topic was, you know, you're kind of a
douchebag especially when you boast about this. There's a
photograph of 4800 women that he supposedly had sex with. And
this came up in the conversation he
didn't track touched drugs. The women though that sort of third
element of the rock and roll lifestyle. You really went to
town. They're all true. 4800 women I supposedly your
Gene Simmons here all of douchebags everywhere.
And 800 Women is supposedly your record your Tereus.
You know, one or two? Whatever that is, yeah.
And there was a point I know your wife made you burn the
Polaroids that you've said, with the proof of the fall of 1000s,
which
was not a secret.
All right. Now the conversation goes into the me too, you will
know the hashtag me to where women are calling out behavior
where they have suffered in the past. Sexual harassment at the
hands of men and your name is appeared in a couple of tweets.
Why would I want to do anything? Look, I'm not even going to hold
up the hypothetical. Nothing happened. All of a sudden, 44
years on in a rock band, somebody's coming up and saying
this guy is a bad guy. It's not true. I think climate is
horrifically bad. And yet at the same time, empowering to the
right women. There are some really bad guys out there. I
just happen.
When you read what women are saying happened to them. What do
you think about the culture that you live through everyone, once
everybody the women who
are going after the Weinstein's of the world, they should go to
the cops, the police are here and the court system is here for
you to do what what the women did with Bill Cosby. Do you have
a complaint go to the caf gone to the court of public opinion
on social media is maybe maybe exactly happened the way it
happened? Why don't you get yourself a lawyer?
Isn't there a question of changing the culture this kind
of stuff that maybe you don't go to the police over? But you just
think I'm gonna call this out? Because women don't have to
accept it?
What about the there's an organization here in England? I
saw it yesterday on the chat show a woman heads it about the
victims, you know, the men who are committing suicide who are
wrongly accused of all kinds of nonsense What about that?
What do you think it's gone too far? Do you think it's
I'm not saying it's gone too far not enough. I'm saying go
to the cops and maybe they'll feel like they could do that now
maybe there will be
Well, I think they can always do it but the cops half the time
don't pay any attention to this sort of thing. There's that the
guy did what he took me to the bathroom and he didn't he jerked
off. Okay. Is that is that a Did he grab you? Did he hurt you?
Are you bruised? Is
there legal? Is there legal recourse against that? Someone
doesn't
I don't know maybe I mean yeah lewd behavior on why I don't
know but I did. It's like I'm sure it's low on the on the list
of priorities, especially in California where you have,
listen to this. This has nothing to do with the sexual thing but
I want to play this clip. This is about the people getting sued
in California. There's a if you put something in your car, that
window gets broken, stuff gets stolen. Listen to this prop 47
report local
rock Just be aware of
the real risk. And this is when you go out to your car and you
just put your bags in your car, and then you go back into shop,
you wouldn't do that. Well, if it's in plain sight. I mean, it
doesn't take anything to break somebody's window and get in it.
So now somebody has suvs have little covers for that back
area.
Do you think that deters them? Absolutely, yeah, it's easy,
it's fast. And Sergeant Nelson says it doesn't really come with
enough serious consequences.
The voters in California have essentially decriminalized
theft, especially if it's less than $1,000. So the risk reward
for the criminal is definitely there for them.
If someone steals from you, $900 and stuff, what could they get?
It's a low misdemeanor. Now, I mean, you might spend the night
in jail. That's it. For my experience. This is why you're
seeing this rash of car break ins in San Francisco, Oakland,
and a lot of places. There's no punishment that goes with that
crime anymore. The old days, you know, you'd get 30 days or 60
days or if you kept doing it. Six months in the in the county
lockup. That doesn't happen anymore for that. So
in the mind of a criminal though, you're trying to do
whatever you can do to get stuff with the least possible
amount of resistance, consequence and chance of
getting caught.
Wait a minute, is this a local California,
California prop 47, the voters of California voted that
shoplifting, petty theft, robbery, anything that's under
$1,000 is a misdemeanor of death just punishable by a day in
jail. Oh, I didn't know this either. I mean, I remember I
just voted no on most of these things. So I probably voted no
on it. But I don't really quite remember that when this
happened. But apparently it did. And this guy's bitching about
it, I think rightly so. And this is the thing because the cops
are the ones who push these things. Too much work. And so
the same thing when somebody says, Well, this guy took me in
a bathroom and jerked off. Oh, do I have to file paperwork on
this? Huh?
Who was behind this? Prop? 47?
I don't know. I have to look into it. I just got this clip
yesterday. Yeah, I'd be
interested to know what the thinking is behind that.
Police paperwork.
So the police just put a bill on everyone like wow, that sounds
good to me. Come on, people voted on
pretty sure this would not have been passed. If it wasn't for
the police of endorsing it. I'm sure of it. I'd be stunned if
that wasn't the case. Or the district attorney's or the other
ones who don't want to do anything. You know, let's say
got some guy they could you know, railroad and make a big
deal out of some, you know, poor bastard who does some copyright
to that, let's say, and they will make a stink about that
because they can make
we know people have gone to jail for very innocuous white collar
crimes. Yeah, no money
is your window. Take your stuff. And you know, too bad. They
don't they won't even bother taking a report. Wow.
Then we had the Time Person of the Year 2017.
Well, I have happened to have the clip of the today's show
where this was revealed with the editor of Time magazine if you
want to play that.
Sure. What's it called? Well, that's a good question.
Time Person of yours revealed oxidation door how to calm
the answer to the question we've all been asking who will be
times Person of the Year. Edward Felsenthal. Times editor in
chief is here to reveal the pic. Good morning, Edward. All right,
we kept it secret. The secret was this just real quickly. This
is a hard decision or an easy decision this year.
Well, you know, this is the 91st year we've named a person of the
year it's always hard. But I think it's especially hard this
year. Europe's so much disruption in the United States
and around the world. We're gonna count down we're gonna
keep the anticipation going. Number three on your list, the
president of China, Xi Jinping. He has consolidated power in his
own country to a degree not seen in decades. And even more
importantly, he's made very clear that he intends for China
to lead the world and step into the breach as the US retrenches,
the runner up President Donald Trump, first of all, your
rationale and second of all, he's Ted tweeted that time
wanted him to be the person of the year, and he rejected you
want to set the record straight on that?
Well, he's number two on our list because he has changed the
very nature of the presidency and the way the White House
functions. He's on the verge of his first major legislative
victory. He's reshaping the judiciary, and aggressively
rolling back regulations. The tweet as we said, wasn't, wasn't
correct. In fact, we did the photoshoot for the reveal we
were about to do five days before the tweet. We didn't say
probably but you know how it goes. I think it's time for the
big reveal. So I'm gonna let you do the honors, who is times
Person of the Year 2017. Person of the Year is the silence
breakers, voices that launched a movement. This is the fastest
moving social change we've seen in in in decades. And it began
with This individual acts of courage by hundreds of women and
some men to who came forward to tell their own stories of sexual
harassment and assault.
We see celebrities on your cover but most importantly perhaps we
see someone whose face is obscured this is the the woman
whose name we don't know the woman who came forward bravely
or is thinking about doing so.
Now, I just want to say one thing off the bat and I kind of
pulled the divorce back yesterday and I was
misunderstood the time person who was Tina Okay. Which is why
I'm nuancing it now the Time Person of the Year I'm a little
tired of it not being a person. I mean, this has happened
several times in the past it's not a person then it's global
warming or some other thing it's like why can't a person why I
like the whole idea and look first of all we know they do
this for one reason and one reason only it's not something
social justice warrior crap, Excel ads. Yeah, it's a special
edition Rose McGowan on there. But I got the biggest kick out
of the main person was what's her name? That horrible excuse
me your that. What's the name of the woman? Is that front and
center in that picture? Actress? Oh,
yes. Of the sisters. Yeah, the sisters. Yeah, the sisters. So
next
to her is Taylor Swift. I just was just thought that was
hilarious. Well, this was not part of the me to anything. She
just sued some guy for grabbing her ass.
Well, no, I think she's look, the fact that she's in there.
I'm very look, I'm Team Taytay. And I said look twice in a row.
Um, Team tape tape saying look a lot. It's what Thank you. I just
call myself out. No need to pile jump. Could you stop coughing?
Oh, get a lozenge?
I do. Or a cough
button. There's an
idea. The coffin wouldn't work with this mic. Yeah. Oh, you're
right. Anyway. Anywho I need an XLR. And any, any? Any who what?
Yes. Anywho I'm very I'm very, I'm very happy that Taylor Swift
was included. That naturally they do that for for reasons of
discussion and ratings, because a lot of people got triggered
and triggered because day to day. Look, she's a white
supremacist. We all know that. She hasn't spoken out against
Trump. How can she possibly be there but because she was with
the meat hashtag me to women in Time Magazine. Now. It's, it's
good for her. And I like her. I like what she said in court and
that guy that DJ is a douche. And he's not. There's a whole
category of douche DJs out there. Ah, all of them. Pretty
much. Yeah, pretty much.
It's a generality you can make.
So I'm so I'm, I'm I'm very happy for her. I am I am met,
but work for me. It's like, okay, I keep asking now what?
And the way I see it is this is going to continue for a long
time. And the women of the United States for sure have
Gitmo nation, but probably of the world as this spreads. We'll
be calling out men everywhere and men will get fired, shamed,
etc. And in most cases, rightfully so. And I'm telling
you, right, I telling you right now that the women of the world
are sorry, if someone gets wrongly accused, but they really
don't care. And I understand where they're coming from. And
the good thing is where
they come in from
a lifetime of being harassed. A lifetime. Yes, it's it's subtle
things, John, it's small and subtle thing. Yeah,
you hear it on the show. You said so yourself.
Well, I think you're abusing the situation. But that's okay. They
can do what they want. It's up to them. Although I'd like to
see men and women little more. Kind of in the same Well, well,
yes. Yes. And because now we're getting into a situation where
men aren't going to say anything. Why do you think
there's a rise of sex robots? Hello? Look, guys are already
apparently, there's a huge group of men who are already happy
just jerking off in front of you. I'm sure The Sex Robot. I'm
sure The Sex Robot takes care of all of their urges. Yeah, so
yeah, this
sex robots are pretty wild.
Apparently, there's a channel for documentary that I haven't
been able to get on the YouTubes yet about the sex robots. I want
to see that
show on the today's show they had. This is a this clip is a
medley, a medley of complaints that they ran on the day because
they had the woman who started the meet to movement by the way
and that meet who had pay hashtag thing was in 2006, a
black woman came up with it. Just caught on again. So 10
years later, but here's the medley of complaints. And I
think there's a couple of gems in here. This is just various
women complaining in very short snippets. And they run this on
the Today Show.
I think people hang out a lot. But there's a human bias.
When you go through something as traumatic as sexual violence,
there's a way to to close up, who were
we supposed to tell? Were we supposed to call some fantasy
Attorney General of movie dumb,
and we're conditioned, since birth, before our feet hit the
ground, to be polite politeness kills,
to be kind to be liked, to not make waves, that has to stop,
there wasn't
a place for us to report these experiences. I am here to give
you permission to be angry,
having somebody else connect with you and say, you're not
alone in that. It just frees you. It frees you from the
shame. I always
thought maybe things could change for my daughter, I never
thought things could change. For me,
we have to teach our boys from a very young age that it's
important that not only they take care of women, but that
they are respectful, and that they understand that there are
things that are not okay.
Hopefully we will have the next generation of people that are
very mindful and are being shown respect and will give it in
return.
I think women are starting to believe we don't have to just
live like this
meatsuit can be a conversation starter or it can be the whole
conversation.
It is a socio political, cultural, gender revolution.
Why not fight back? What else are we doing?
And I get every single one of them
and what I don't get and I listen to that thing, again is
why Megan Kelly, who really is one of the people that started
this ball rolling if not, McCallum isn't on that cover.
Well, there should be Yeah, I agree. For sure. Martha McCallum
she's the one who, who got the big settlement and can't get
work anymore.
John, we already have to put Taylor Swift in we can't go too
crazy with the white nationalists and the Fox News,
bimbos. No Fox News, bimbo Fox News bimbos for you.
No. All right, I got one more clip about this whole thing. Was
going back to Matt Lauer. There is I paid six, which is a gossip
sheet on the your daily pulse.
And Liz Smith used to write that and she just died. Yes, she did.
She was blushes with the editor of it. And they have decided,
because it's so easy to do, they're going to do a TV show
with some of their guys, because they saw TMZ and golly, it can't
be that hard if TMZ can do it. Yeah. And so they're getting so
they have this kind of mock TMZ thing with just a way to get the
host is okay. Then there's some gay black guy who's just, you
know, kind of he's okay. And then there's a kind of a dim
with seeming unless she gives reports. And then there's a
black woman. And she never says anything you said. Yeah. And so
and so they're talking about Matt Lauer here in this clip,
and this is the page six TV on Lauer.
A lot more about the other side of Matt Lauer that no one knew
about you spotted recently in East Hampton with his family.
When all of these details came out. We know we reported it
exclusively at Page Six that he drove to East Hampton, where his
wife lives with his children to talk to his oldest son about
what was coming out in the headlines because he wanted him
to hear it from his father. But there's another side of Matt
Lauer that we now know that he's a very deviant sexual predator,
essentially, is that what that's what a lot of women are accusing
him of? And sources have told me that he belongs to this boy
club, a very powerful, rich man who are entertainers.
We're looking at you Jeff Zucker, you're
on Deck is golf with them. And I'm told that they indulge in
kinky behavior and extremely inappropriate toward women.
Who is this guy? I'm told really? Who is this guy? And I'm
told, I'm told really come on, man,
you know, retainers, he plays golf with them. And I'm told
that they indulge in kinky behavior and extremely
inappropriate toward women. Wow. Hey,
Carlos. I actually just got the chills when you said men that he
plays golf with because this is your reporting your source
saying nothing that I had to do it. And that sounds eerily
similar to one of the women
who is this person who talks like crazy who wish she's a
dingbat
was when you said men that he plays golf with because this is
your reporting, your sourcing, nothing that I had to do it. And
that sounds eerily similar to one of the women that I spoke to
when I was investigating this story. One of the women who used
to work with Matt Lauer, and I want to say was in the old
regime. It was a long time ago, way back when Brian Gumbel was
there. She told me that it was very difficult for women at the
today's show because it was a total boys club, and they would
all play golf together. And she said, if you're a woman, how
could you compete with these men? When they all have their
little clique? They play golf, they talk about the women. She
even told me an example one time she was on assignment. And she
was traveling, and she had a cold sore, which she didn't
think was a big deal, because that happened. Yeah. And she
overheard Matt Lauer talking to Brian Gumbel about how gross her
cold sore loves. And it made her feel really bad. And she said,
It's just cruel. And the exact quote she told me, was there. It
was such shame, with not being liked by Matt Lauer at the
today's show if you are a woman.
Okay, well, there's your report from page six.
And that's their TV shows on TV. Oh, my gosh,
it's a I think they tried to make it a TV show. I think it's
only on the web.
Yeah, it's a podcast. It's a podcast. It's a podcast. Yes.
And that may actually be a net cast. I'm not sure. No, I don't
think that's just a podcast. Well, here's my final conclusion
for today. As I said, this is going to continue. And we are
this very interesting combination we have now of
social justice warrior movement, of not offending anybody, and
not not being not tolerating being offended. I predict women
are going to start ratting out women on stuff, it won't be of
sexual nature. But we're creating a culture where
everybody's going to be afraid to do anything. And you watch
women will be ratting out other women for just the other stuff.
This is where it's going. Yeah, here's
why don't you want to hear my prediction? Sure. This whole
thing, get the lozenge off my tongue. This whole thing blows
over. Once, once the Alabama election is over, and we go back
to Russia or Mueller or something else. This is a this
whole thing was designed just to get judge more not elected in
Alabama. By keeping this as a bubbling issue. It's going to
just drop dead. I mean, really? Yeah, that's where I think it's
gonna be after the election after the election in Alabama.
This will be take second, this will be a second tier story,
then third, then gone.
Your sexual harassment update.
There you go. Your sexual harassment update. I did want to
follow that up with another type of award Well, not really award
but we had the Time Person of the Year, and the Grammy
nominations just came out. And this is very interesting along
the same social justice warrior lines on NPR is I believe on
point with Tom Ashbrook. He had on his resident music expert to
come in and discuss the nominations and we discover
something that is not only remarkable, but it actually
makes everyone gleeful. Do you like it? What
are the headlines of the Grammy nomination? Hey, you
I don't know anything about pop culture.
Do you like it? What are the headlines of the Grammy
nominations this year?
So it's a big year for rap and r&b. One of the big stories is
the Album of the Year category. There are no white men nominated
in this category for
the first time ever at the 60th Grammys. Wow.
That's great. First time ever no white men nominated? I mean,
that's progress. This is Greg nominated
in this category for the first time
ever at the White 60th Grammys, I guess. Yes. Zero white men
there and surprises in or out this year D.
So one of the big surprises in that category is Childish
Gambino getting a nomination for Album of the Year. Many people
thought that that would have gone to Ed Sheeran because his
album division is one of the biggest of the
year. Yeah, but he's a white guy. So
at the highest selling album a year until Taylor Swift came
along
Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover or Yes, yeah.
Okay. How's that sound? Huh? Donald Glover
is a rapper.
Here's the next bit. I mean, it just kept on going. Everybody's
so happy that the album of the year. I guess that's a really
important category. I don't I I never really thought about it as
the most important category. But I guess back when people bought
albums
before the album of the year before it's an album, daddy
before the unbundling of the album. And we bought tracks or
forget it. We just stream stuff.
Things are changing. Hip Hop very big this year at the 68th
Grammys
Hip Hop it's been around since the it is
no white guy in the very top right and country music shut
out.
I mean, how many white guy hip hoppers does he know? Besides
Eminem? Well, that would be pretty much one of the Vanilla
Ice
no white guy and the very top ranking country music shout out
Oh more white people top categories this year. Those
favorite rap and hip hop pop not even doing so well. Taylor Swift
Grammy favorite in past years did not receive a nomination for
her eligible singles but she's up for two Grammys one for
country song of the year. Here's a song she wrote better man by
country group Little Big Town
hills. Okay. Now the the audience of NPR is also
delighted.
My Yeah, I got a quick comment and a question. So I'm in
Boston, I work at a Boys and Girls Club. I'm a music director
here. Awesome in Dorchester, right. And you are paying
attention this year to the Album of the Year category. The fact
that there are no white men on that list, it's very important
to me. I am a white male. But we're actually voting and
looking at these the best album of the year. It's really
important that there's a lot of hip hop represented here.
Certainly with Kendrick and Jay Z.
Just make sure there's no white guys in there he is it
hip hop is important to this guy.
That sounded pretty rehearsed to me. Honestly.
Why? Yes. But still why even rehearsed or not rehearse? Why
is it important to him or anyone else? I
believe he works with black sees China racist works with non
white kids. Yeah, well, the whole the whole thing is by
definition racist doesn't mean that it's no longer culturally
accepted because it is one more listener. I
was just that somebody a couple of callers ago said, is a white
man. I'm very concerned about the Grammys. I'm not sure
exactly what he was saying.
I think he was celebrating. I think he was celebrating the
trends, Nico. Oh, good. Good. That's what I was hoping.
Oh, I was worried for a moment that we had a racist on NPR.
Exactly what he was saying.
I think he was celebrating. I think he was celebrating the
trends. Nico. Oh, oh, good. Good. That's what I was hoping.
I think that ended up being pretty clear years.
Good. After all these years of people of color not being
recognized. Finally, it's happening. And I think that's
great. She's,
here's a bad name for you know, white men. I guess zero white
men. That's even better. Maybe?
Yeah, I'll give you a clip of the day for that last one. Oh,
that's very kind
of you. I didn't expect
clear why didn't expect to hear anything like that is crazy. And
that but and by the way, this give all this give the blacks
and the hip hoppers and everybody in between the blacks
all the credit and recognition they deserve in an era where the
album's don't sell anymore, and CD sales are down the drain and
it doesn't get that help him a bit. And I'll tell you maybe
given him some recognition 20 years ago. Oh, yeah,
you can't do that. That only works. If you're a politician.
You did something bad 40 years ago, you can't do it and music
doesn't work that way. But John, we live in interesting times.
And I'm I am podcasting times yes. And I will say I'm happy
I'm a podcaster because no matter what someone might accuse
me of nothing can go wrong. I can fire you. Yeah, you can't
get much lower than podcasting. I mean, it's just not there's no
lower rung on the showbiz ladder.
No, I agree. So there were their baby.
And also I really liked that you and I both know that no one has
anything on us. I love that. I mean this it's pay it's paying
off I was a nice guy all my life and now it's paying off I'm not
guys got this gotta be guys.
That complete total end and dreadful douchebag position as a
podcaster to weather the storm storm to weather
and with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say the
morning to you John. C stands for Caucasian DeVore ag and
Mr. Adam curry in the morning all ships at sea boots in the
ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the games and
nights out there.
Yes in the morning to the troll room no agenda stream.com Good
everybody everybody here on board. Nice to see you. Thank
you please stop inviting me to private chats on the troll room
I have nothing to say to you
that for I
don't know it's for the same reason people. Again, I got a
email Hey, Adam. We're you know, we'd really love for you in the
end the no agenda show to help with the homeless population in
Austin. Like from a from a nonprofit here people rather
form letter. No, no people signing me up for stuff and
sending emails. It's it's it's really annoying. Anyway, I do
want to thank cesium 137 for bringing us the artwork for
episode nine or eight, seven. The title of that was kebab
panic. And it was the douchebag e meter which was a nice mocked
up version of the cute the Mathis meter that was deployed
by the Church of Scientology and it had a on the scale douchebag
You set it to 33 cycles and then off it goes. By the way in the
show notes for today, I have the entire manual for the original
math is E meter.
The meter wrote about that. What about the fruit meter?
That's what I mean this. It's the psycho, the psycho. Psycho
psycho electro psycho. electrometer, I think is what it
is. It's very interesting. It's the instructions, you know, it's
how it doesn't actually say, if the meter is here, this guy's
gay. But but it's, it's used for, you know, the thing was
even science. Yes. If even then, it was used for as a lie
detector and other things of this ilk. So it's a very
interesting this history of Canada Navia with their fruit
meter. Very interesting.
Fascinating. Well, I
will show you here only about the stuff on the no agenda
show this is true. No agenda are generated. Our comm is where you
can upload your art. We always appreciate it. And remember, we
got the big 1000s episode on the way as I know people who will
walk away already working on art for that. So that's Do we have a
date for that yet? One is that one is that one is that taking
place?
You know, if you have a calendar, we can figure it out.
I do. I have a calendar. Let's see. So we have 9989 Palindrome

Okay, we will we'll do worry about it later. Palindrome for
Sunday night eight, nine. Hmm. That sounds good. Yeah, we can
do something with that. Yeah,

bring me to Baronet. With some extra thrown in since the
donation doldrums after the massive outpouring during the
10th anniversary double deal has been making me cringe for you
guys. Also, shamefully I haven't contributed in a few months. And
the guilt has been weighing heavy on my soul. I was inspired
to step up in part by noticing an article confirming in no
agenda theory about DNA testing, compliance, fudging results to
make people think they're all from Africa.
Yeah. Did you hear about that? 2023 Amis specifically did that
because they were what they deemed to be racist who were
saying how is it possible that you have that I have some
African blood in me, I want you to clarify. And what they did is
they made a category which was African or African. And they put
in less than one which means it could be zero, or it could be up
to 1%. And they thought that was hilarious because the racist
would forever think that they might be part Africa and
yeah, that is the kind of thing you have to deal with. This also
accounts for there's a clip. It's not in today's bachelors
from last week last year. No, and maybe we can play it later.
Yeah, actually, I'll just explain it. Well tell me what it
is see if I can find it with my swank just says DNA on and
there's three of them. This is a clip where the today's show I
believe is that today short may have been a Good Morning
America. Or it could have been CBS Morning Show. Anyway, it was
one of those three shows. They had a guy do a take the three
main DNA testers take triplets.
Yeah, we actually we actually talked about this on the show
two weeks ago, maybe maybe months ago.
This is different because this only happened like last week.
Okay, what would they tell you what the results were?
The there was a whole bunch of similarities like African but
then there was wildly different subcategories.
Let me start over then. All right. And this came out after
your thing that you just mentioned. They had the three
testings, they had the three women who are all exact dupe.
And boy, they talked about triplets who looked like each
other was this the foxhole friends
five, our DNA? Was that it? No. All right.
Today's show is a morning, I'm sorry. So they had it because
this was very elaborate. They had to keep starting over, they
had the three kits, they had the three women that were triplets
with different names. They each took each one of them took each
one of the tests. And so they compare them side by side, and
individually so that all the results had to be identical for
the three. And then they compare it to three different kits to
each other. So it was a three four way deal.
And what do you think happened? They nail it.
All three kids had the exact same results. Except for you
know what, it was off a little bit. But they were all identical
for all three women. It was unbelievable how great these
kids are.
Sounds like a native ad to me.
Well, it was a native ad but for which one of the three groups
didn't say which company? It was? Yeah, they said all three
of them. They had 23andme and my heritage and they had some I'm
telling
you, that's got to be a setup. Because first of all, people do
not give your DNA to these companies. This is not a smart
idea. It's just not. I don't trust this at all. They always
have different results. But they go on today's show, and it's all
perfect. And they did this they
say I will say one thing. They all had a little bit of DNA from
Africa or the Middle East it was Middle East, Middle East Africa,
North Africa,
every other test that I've seen where they they because there's
many of these have been performed. There's always at
least subtle differences in the results but yet on the Today
show. Yeah, no. Okay, what does that tells you? They nailed it.
By the way. I'm gonna put Evan Johnson on the Baron on the
title change list because he's not on there.
Good. All right. This donation should bring me to bear in Edit
county below. shamefully I haven't contributed in a few
months he goes on Article confirming the DNI some read
this already. People think they all have an African heritage.
What a strange world I also noticed that a recent clip of
the soon to be new princess of the UK telling her bogus story
about mailing women in politics about a dish soap ad her cadence
and wording was nearly identical to Chelsea Clinton. I found this
very unnerving that's an interesting catch. Ha yeah, Emil
you. Yeah, if anyone out there has been feeling yeah, by the
way. That dish soap thing was
well also you know she she was Her parents divorced when she
was six. So five years later I don't maybe she was living with
her dad and it was all great relationship. I don't know I
just deal with it doesn't really matter. She just spoke we know
it was
anyone out Yes. If anyone out there has been feeling guilty
and not donating then donate as Adam was saying recently we want
to trap the crackpot in buzzkill in this line of work forever for
our own selfish enjoyment and our own collective Mental
Hygiene as well. Thank you both for your courage. Jingle request

end Mason Conklin. $345.43 It'd be our third executive producer.
Mason in Holly Springs, Georgia. Love the show. This donation
34543 made possible in part by My decision to liquidate most of
my bitcoin holdings.
Yes, we have a Bitcoin segment coming up. It is
also a fractal of the Bitcoin price chart every few weeks
Adam, you are probably correct about Bitcoin Core BTC but I
don't think the same criticisms apply to Bitcoin cash bch or
Aetherium, or many of the other altcoins that provide very real
value in certain use cases and implementations bitcoins core
became tulips, when and the transaction costs exceeded that
of regular bank or credit card transactions and when the
mempool the transmitted transactions that have yet to be
included in the blockchain grew to more than 20 blocks worth of
transactions mempool HTTP has got a thing on here. When
Bitcoin losses utility as a payment mechanism, it lost its
real value of real source of value. No agenda on the other
hand, maintains its value. With continued media deconstruction,
thoughtful analysis and occasional flights of
entertaining paranoid fantasy. That might just be true. I've
donated good money for jingles and Carmen by Grand Duke Foley.
I'm going to claim them I like to be Yoko's big gig cut short
by two to the head and a little girl yay. Please may I have some
new venture crypto karma and a Bitcoin D douching?
You found D deuced.
You've got karma.
Close enough.

3333 I'm giving myself my annual birthday gift of an executive
producer shift on on reflecting over this past year, I have
realized that straddling between dimensions A and B feels a lot
like being a kid in a divorced household. Like that. Each side
does not trust the other and assumes the worst about
everything. Both sides think I am siding with the other simply
because I refuse to condemn them. Taylor Swift knows about
that. Yes, she does. Sickening, really pretty sickening. I hope
that 2018 is a better year on this front. Don't count on it.
But I doubt it. I have thought that the anti Trump errs, were
getting bored of it until the Flynn plea ratcheted things up
all over again. We all need a little karma for the new year.

and Revoltech z, z, z. I don't know this one here. Exactly X
rock and selenium is close. I'm sure that's not it at all. I'd
have to run this through for vo are one of the things that
pronounces names but you know, so he has $200.02 No reason to
read the note and J N. K, but I will. Thank you for all the
excellent work. There's my annual donation which is a
little late this year. Makes me a night, I think. Yes, it does.
Okay, well, you're on the night list.
Low deck.
Zealand, New Zealand. Zillow. Nick. I think it's Selenium.
Selenium. Good. Sounds like the way you'd pronounce it. Yeah.
Anyway, want to thank all these folks for show 988 Onward to
show 1002 which is very hard to achieve. Yes,
yes. That's just 12 shows what hope we make away.
Yeah. 988 is hard to achieve. Yes,
it wasn't easy. I agree with you there. But it was only made
possible with our value for value model. That's why we're
still on the air. That's why we haven't been fired why people
haven't gone after our after our sponsors It's why we can discuss
things that are difficult to discuss conversations that you
can't have in the M five M media.
It's if it's not completely illegal to have the conversation
correct. So
you should cherish that and obviously we have executive
producers and Associate Executive producers who do and
we appreciate that more people to thank in our second donation
segment, and we do have a show coming up on Sunday we hope you
will support us.org/and as well as the show today be out there
have your eyes peeled and always propagate the formula our
formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth shut up
there we go. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my wife's
bottom as well.
There's a couple of you know they did a piece because the
dill our thing they did a piece on her Why is his wife you know
on today's show gaffes. And it's there's a bunch of these lists
of dollars stupidest things I've ever done. I have a clip of it
out of just one to seven stupidest things I've ever done
but I have a clip of two of the things that I personally find to
be one slightly offensive but the other one I personally
they're actually both incredibly offensive and stupid. But I want
to play this clip so you can hear them because you probably I
never know this ever happened but apparently it did this
today's show gaffes
when the today's show reported Amy Winehouse is death back in
2011 from music video for you know I'm no good played with the
caption you know I'm dead under the following year Kathie Lee
Gifford made the cringe worthy mistake of asking Martin Short
how long he and his wife Nancy Dolman had been together
completely unaware and Nancy had died back in 2010. Nancy have
gotten the greatest
marriages of anybody in show business how many years now for
you guys? We married 36 years. But you're still like in love.
Oh madly in love. Why?
Shoot, I'm cute. Wow.
Unbelievable. But you know, I'm dead. Like in the Chiron
unbelievable. That's
That's harsh. Harsh man. Hey, Bitcoin for
a moment. Yes, Bitcoin.
So Bitcoin has now skyrocketed past 15,000. Yeah. And but seems
like only a week ago, it was past 10,000. And we already have
some more issues cropping up. As I predicted. You have two coins?
I have some coins. But I'm more than two. I'll sell them when
it's at a million. Okay, well, there's I joined 30 grand do I
consider that as yet? Sure. Try and sell them the inch and why
would I ever put my bitcoins onto anyone else's server? For
example? What was the name of this exchange? $62 million, a
nice hash. Nice hash $62 million in Bitcoin stolen. So that's not
that's people's Bitcoins. You know, you put it in your wallet
there and oh, it's all great. And then all of a sudden, it's
gone. It's gone. It's just stolen or hacked? Or maybe they
stole it and say was and say they were hacked. Yeah, I mean,
this is very, very, and you know, we got the big they
actually moved it forward. The the futures Bitcoin futures on
the things this isn't CBOE the Chicago Board of exchange.
Yeah, the Chicago Yeah.
So how does that how does the futures work? I don't really
understand. So you're betting it's kind of like an option? In
a way? Yeah.
No, it's contracts. Okay. You and you only have to pay it's
all on margin. So you you buy some delivery of I don't know
what there's always different amounts blizzards sake, for
purposes of this conversation, a ton of soybeans to be delivered
in September of 2018. And you pay 1/10 of what you pay a
certain price for the soybeans and you put down about a 10th of
that, right to recover the bet. And then it said, that goes up
and down and up and down. You can trade that you can say, oh,
it looks good. It's gonna weigh up. I'm gonna sell it now. So
you sell it next month to somebody else who wants to
soybeans eventually, it gets covered at the end and somebody
gets a bunch of soybeans delivered, right? Yeah,
hopefully it's not you. Right? Because that would kind of suck.
Yeah, you have a bunch of soybeans. In fact, I know a
story I've heard about someone who was stubborn and they felt
that the prices They're going up and never did. They took
delivery of the soybeans and had them delivered to the basement
of their house. This I don't know. It's a true story now, but
it's a good story. And apparently, because soybeans are
hygroscopic they absorb water lifted the house.
All right now now, it's Snopes material. Well, there's a lot of
problems that are going on. And, you know, people know that I
don't think it's currency. I don't think it's an excellent
store of value. It is not because you know what, the value
today could be wildly different tomorrow. Sure, everyone's happy
when it goes up. But it will go down. It's just It's science.
It's math. It's there's no other way for it's the way the
universe works. So what you're seeing now, though, is because
of the incessant hype, there's an incredible demand. So people
are just jumping in, and everyone's buying because
everybody wants to be a part of the craze not I've been thinking
about this. A, you know, looking for what could possibly happen?
Is there something big I'm always looking for something
bigger behind the Bitcoin because we still don't really
know who invented it. Except, you know, Max Keiser, maybe. But
we still don't really know. And we're getting into this point
where there, we also have the risk of someone creating a
majority attack. So in in the end, I'm not completely versed
in this, but when someone controls more than half of the
network hash rate, they so 51%, which is very possible, someone
has that someone controls that, that you know, who really can
who really can mine who could, not caring what it costs, the US
government would be one or some agency, or I don't know, maybe
someone who has a $500 million contract with Amazon for
servers, I know, there's a lot of people who could possibly
create a majority attack, and then you can pretty much capture
100% Of all the hash. I know this is not a great technical
explanation, but it's in the wiki so it must be true. Now
what if what if
the US this is just a what if?
What if the US may be behind this? And he would he would be
my way my use for it?
The Chinese behind the whole thing behind
the whole thing? The chat just for just bear with me? The
Chinese are going nuts over over Bitcoin? They are arguably
arguably Yeah, I think that what I understand the Chinese are the
ones that have a lot of Bitcoin they love it because they want
to go outside of their system.
Ah, yes, it's supposed to be a great way to bypass the Yes,
I've heard that. I've heard that about Bitcoin. I've heard I've
heard it might be a great way to bypass stuff. Which so So what
if we wait until all the Chinese have their cash in that I'm
talking Bitcoin? 100,000. I'm just going to pull a number. I
think it would be about 100,000 You
get a quarter million for like, you get out
100 100,000. Now you can't get out at 100,000 It does this
Anyway, forget about that. The Chinese put their cash in
bitcoins, 100,000, boom, pull the rug, collapse China.
All their money's gone. In one go.
And that wouldn't even have to be a majority attack. It could
be you know, a short, it could be a massive short, it could be
a huge sell off
would be a destruction of the blockchain. Because what
went wrong? Once you know, once you start a cascade of selling,
everyone will just go crazy. And they'll be selling all the way
down. It could go to zero. If not, it may bounce back up
again. Which is where you want to be waiting.
I'm buying it a nickel.
Yes. So I don't I just I that thought crossed my mind. Like,
you know, when I heard about the majority attack that that stuff
is actually possible. You know, it's it's, it's, it's, it's
really, it's much worse than the.com bubble when we were all
looking around going why that could I took my company public
raised a whopping $16 million. And I was looking at people
raising 500 million 600 million for silent bits. Well, I had a
billion Yeah, for sock puppet stuff. You know, pets.com was
the big Yeah, it was that was the big joke. But what is going
on here is they're you know, they're really intelligent
people are just the the judgments become clouded. I
mean, you can always put so you can always mess around with
stuff but anyone thinks this is safe and that building their
future on it. I would really recommend you not do that,
though. vinco lost twins. Yes.
They better be selling if they if they care about their money
they should be selling. And then I came across this New World
Order outfit called One global democracy which I wanted, they
have a very interesting little thing the guy was on Fox the
other day is on you see what I think is one global Yeah, one
global democracy.com. Notice it's not.org. And they have a
one global democracy and idea whose time has come. Let's
listen to a bit of this video.
Climate change, inequality, and fear are tearing our world
apart. national governments have failed to solve these global
problems. Step separate countries simply don't work
anymore.
The United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
People have lost patience with the slow, incremental approach
to reform exploiting desperation, or seizing power,
turning back the arc of human progress.
We have reached a crisis point. Wait for it, normally to now
politics have woken up their woke, but the system is so
broken, no one seems to see a way to fix it. It's time for a
new story, to raise our sights to what's possible, and give
people hope, again, a story of how we can create peace,
equality, and justice worldwide, within our lifetimes through a
bold new approach, one global democracy, a world without
borders. For it, many of us believe in a future where
countries no longer divide us. And we work together to face our
shared challenges. But few of us realized one global democracy is
now within our grasp, thanks to two new technologies. With
blockchains the technology behind bitcoin, we can enable
everyone to vote online as securely as the digital divide
closes worldwide. And with the liquid democracy model, everyone
can vote directly on policy. There you go. John delegate
their vote.
Blockchain is the way for global voting.
One global democracy okay.
So this guy, yeah. Peter Sherman.
Yeah, he's the former radio talk show host. Oh. Also the
politician going Ontario is a Progressive Conservative Member
of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario for a few years and
represented this area. I don't know where he got this idea.
Well, you know, I will say, I like the concept of using
Blockchain for voting. You know, that would be a reasonably
secure way although completely opening you can't vote in
secret. But that would be in Yeah, you're gonna see this time
I guarantee you people are gonna be talking about the blockchain.
You know, people want to vote online for some sick reason. And
yes, it's not going to be secret. You said your ballot is
open so you'll be able to see what somebody voted out. You can
still have somebody point a gun at your head and say, Okay, open
your computer and vote for this guy. You still happen. This is
bullcrap you if you people, if it's not important enough for
you to go down to the voting place, and put your ex on a
ballot and stick it in the box. It's not that important. Is this
the electronic voting I'm dead set against it. Well, Blockchain
doesn't do anything for me I don't even care about that.
There's plenty of secure way ways to do voting over unlined
without blockchain
hmm I understand where he's coming from and I think you're
going to hear a lot of people using this as a great idea I
find it kind of ironic that we have the no borders no Nations
Global Khumba ya people using a phrase that includes the name
chain at all, you know the blockchain, you're chained your
chain. That will be your identity in the in the new
world. Order your your hash. You'll be your number. You can
tattoo the number on your arm. It's really cool. Yeah,
I guess Yeah. Sign me up. I vote no. Right.
So are you familiar with this dispute between Amazon and
Google that has a little bit that has led led Google to block
YouTube from playing on Amazon's Echo show and I guess also other
like their fire TV devices. What Why is this? Why are they doing
that?
Because apparently Amazon won't give Google some content
or something like that. Yeah.
Let me see Oh, yeah, here it is. Amazon. Oh, Amazon doesn't carry
Google products like Chromecast and Google Home? Yes. It doesn't
make Prime Video available for Google Cast users. So I asked
you, these are two of the very same people who are touting the
importance of net neutrality. So the evil ISPs can't filter out
or charge you more for specific kinds of content. Yeah, I guess
we don't have to worry about that with you assholes in
charge. They're doing they're doing exactly that. Yeah, they
are blocking content based on personal beefs and stuff in
between, which is, which is normal. It's normal business.
But does anyone see the irony in this? No.
I'm,
I'm anybody at those two companies see the irony in that
I guess not.
Just like, you know, you you literally now cannot see the
content you want. It is isn't that the end result that you
want to have Roku works fine. I got the Roku. Robot works. And,
you know, who knows, it could happen. Roku could get to, hey,
Roku. We don't like what you're doing. We don't like how you're
displaying our stuff. And we're gonna block access
stuff off. Roku is cut off plenty, plenty of things that
they don't like, because it's time.
But I'm telling you that dispute can happen. We're talking now.
Now you have the issue between the devices people use, which
may come down to your phone. You got a phone? Oh, I'm sorry. You
can't get any Google stuff on your Apple phone. I see that in
the future.
It should be now. A good idea.
can start soon enough? Yeah, I just found that to be
Yeah, as your B for the day. It should be a pet peeve. Oh, it's
not really a piece.
Yeah, no, it's not really it's not really a P I can't take that
as a peeve. It's just it's it's ironic that I need you based
upon our list to talk about the hamburgers in the UK because a
lot of people are very disappointed you tease that in
the newsletter and then we did not get to it. Which means which
is shorthand for we forgot. We forgot.
It wasn't like a high priority item. I did say in the last
newsletter I teased it again with a picture of some hamburger
somebody. Let's put a couple of things. Let's start talking
about the hamburger just for just not gonna take forever. But
there's a way of making an American style hamburgers pretty
straightforward. You can go to any good hamburger shop all over
the United States, quarter pounder nation's burgers and
even some of the big chains
you're saying there is plenty of examples. There's plenty of
examples tends to be mustard mayonnaise, maybe mixed up with
maybe some ketchup or usually a pickle. And then a burger that's
fried with a piece of cheese on top of the fried burger. JC
pointed out because when he was in London, he decided to
wherever we went, whatever pub whatever thing we went to, I
didn't know he was doing this till near the end. He'd order a
hamburger. Pubs have them. Restaurants have and he just had
a bunch of them. And he says these pieces the way England
looks at a hamburger is they see it as a sandwich. Yes. They
don't see it as a hamburger. No,
they they literally call it a sandwich
and many of them eat it with a knife and fork.
Wow, that's wrong.
You always get a knife and fork with it. And you'll find it like
there'll be the burger on top of the lead s which makes it slide
off and then there'll be you know everything would be put on
top and then at the top and there'd be like maybe a tomato
and then on top of the tomato be a slice of cheese. They don't
get it. It's just, you know, just ingredients haphazardly
thrown on a bun. And in one case he says Can I get some
condiments you said what would you like? Esau like to get some
mustard? Oh we haven't got any mustard. Oh, so he couldn't get
mustard for his hamburger.
Although I don't like mustard on my hamburger. Doesn't seem to
beside the point.
Whether you like it or not. It should be available mustard goes
on a hamburger very common.
Damage should be at this as well. You're getting really
pretty.
No you come out with I don't like mustard so so there should
be no mustard is what you're saying or no big deal. You
saying is no big deal but it is a big deal. You have to have
mustard available and it should be on the burger to begin with.
But they got none of this going on. They don't know anything
about is not that difficult. And now we see in the United States
especially with Uber Keller deciding to come up with a
$5,000 Hamburger. And of course he's in this has been going on
with a French chef for a while because Uber Keller started this
thing called the burger bar. And it was just got these
miscellaneous types of burgers are very French and he got into
I think the Daniel blued in New York started doing these burgers
with foie gras on them. And now the two chefs are going after
each other. Meanwhile, Wolfgang Puck who used to work at
Maxine's when he was younger, is also has a French take on the
hamburger. And what these burgers are, to me are meatball
sandwiches. You take the burger and they roll into a ball, they
don't put it you know what you have to do with the burgers
first you got to flatten it. And you got to do that with
pressure, you got to put something to go over something
to flatten the burger out. It's got to be a flat, thin burger.
It could be a flat, thick burger, but generally speaking,
it's still got to be flat, it can't be round. And so they take
in their roll around ball and they push it together with a
very, excuse me very little effort. And then they put it on
there. So the bun is now a mile high. There's
no way you can put it in your face.
You can't take the whole thing and squeeze it down. That's
where a knife and fork works. So these are not hamburgers.
Jhansi double borax pet peeve of the day
says I'm on a roll. So Yan Aleman writes me. He's one of
our producers and he's a good friend of mine. He's Dutch.
Yeah, he's that guy. We went on a tour of the Holland of all
great restaurants a few years back. He writes me says Ah, the
reason that the Bosch washing machine is way it is, is because
it saves energy and it doesn't damage the fabric.
Exactly. It also doesn't drive them. It's
here Here you go. I'm watching this thing it takes two and a
half hours to do a load. It's their stopped dead. Yes, it's
saving tons of energy
and it's not running
it spins a little bit and it slops around the clothes. And
then it sits there again for for a half hour is saving energy and
saving energy because it's not doing anything that's called
saving energy. Meanwhile, it's not going to damage the fabrics.
What would washing underwear Oh, I don't want to make sure my
underwear is gets too damaged from the nasty rotation of a
Maytag washing is suck. They do.
And we call it we said it was probably some energy saving
bullcrap.
Yeah, it saves energy. Yeah.
Let me tell you something. I now remember growing up in the
Netherlands, which was part of socialist Europe at the time,
and we had having having a closed washer and dryer was not
common. This is 1972 1973 and it was just was not common. And in
fact, if I recall correctly, I think some people kind of looked
down upon it.
They're like weren't using a service
is it No, no. Because we didn't have because we didn't have
slaves now. Because well, really, you know, that's the
detergent is bad for the environment. You're using
Banerjee I recall that I think it was looked down upon it was
frowned upon to not do your wash by hand. This machine stuff was
bad all round. And maybe that's the genesis of it.
That's interesting. I mean, the Great America the great American
washing machine and dryers are I think they're pretty common in
the United States because we the women get tired of doing washer
board stuff this workout on a washer board
how they got their ringer and they were done with it
well, they didn't the ringer was on one of the more modern
machines since the washer board washer woman but you know I
suppose if you had lots of services around there was very
you know completely just drop your stuff off and get it back
the next day. That'd be fantastic. But that doesn't
sound like it to me. It sounds like they wanted people to do
hand labor.
Wash it by hand. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Wash it by hand.
Now another question. Another statement you made about your
trip to get my nation GMT is that there are no rodents no
rats. No, there's no rats. You said there were just no rats.
Yet because of the foxes? Are you sure there's no rats?
Well, I didn't see any rats. And we and there's been reports a
very few rats. I'm sure there's rats all over the place. But the
foxes keep the ones that are visible down. Well,
experts at Edinboro University have come up with a solution to
the apparent rat problem in the UK. Okay, which you didn't. You
did not hear figures released last week show that London
councils. That's the kind of the Council of States that's the
ghettos where welfare people live, receive 100 Well, there
you go receive 100 complaints about rats and mice each day,
with some local authorities reporting a 10% increase in the
number of rodents since last year. But instead of using
poison, and this is interesting. The researchers are proposing
releasing genetically mutated rats into the rat population.
What could possibly go wrong?
Wow.
Could you imagine that that the same this approach is similar to
approaches already being tested in mosquitoes? Yeah, mosquitoes
they do that. Yeah. Malaria.
Rats. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's a DNA editing technique
called CRISPR.
I've heard about this. And it was a human's, then. Well, I
think you can do a lot with humans, you can probably take
the douchebag gene out of men, which I think is what's on deck.
I think it's already been on deck because if we keep seeing
these new more and more these reports being done by these
millennial quote unquote men kind of indicates that
something's up.
This is very interesting. This CRISPR process. It's, I have to
read into this Do It Yourself garage scientists could unleash
genetically edited organisms into the wild. What is this
process that's
gonna have we're stuck with that problem, anyway?
Yeah, yeah, it's this process technique called CRISPR. There's
another link I keep trying it links to the same page here we
go. First, genetically modified humans could exist within I
gotta look into this stuff. This is I'm sure we have a lot of
people understood understand DNA editing.
You got to talk to us about this stuff. Well, they're probably
all gung ho about it.
Damn. Anyway, so yeah. Genetically Modified rats or in
your future mutated I should say not modified immunity be great
if they're giant deconversion right. For some reason. rats who
can that can white rats that can walk talk?
Hey, you Yeah, that'd be fantastic.
No, I don't think it would be. I don't think that's
good science fiction. I like the idea.
Let me see. What else do we got it
I got a thing for a couple of clips. And this is something you
point out. I just want you to play the clips back to back and
then you can tell me what it is in these clips that that you
kind of been pointing out as a kind of a problem No one wants
to do address this is the two clips are interesting problem.
So Cal Fire's This is the ABC report. And then interesting
problem, SoCal fires a local report. And yeah, there it is.
Tonight, the
Thomas fire, just one of multiple places scorching the
state. To the south, the Creek fire on the northern edge of Los
Angeles, forcing more evacuations that fire also out
of control and in Santa Clarita, the rye fire jumping interstate
five shutting down that major highway. So let's
get DeMarcus. More joining us live tonight. And we can see
that stunning scene behind you the flames the home gutted. And
I know there's real concern tonight because of these windy
conditions expected to continue.
That's right, David, that high wind has been picking up the
embers and those embers have really been skipping from house
to house jumping over some homes, but destroying others.
And the other problem we're hearing about water pressure,
firefighters telling me that they've had to let some homes
burn, because they simply didn't have enough water pressure in
some of those hydrants perhaps because of the power outages.
David,
just a devastating scene playing out there behind you.
You want me to play the second one right away? Yep, played.
Power outages are also making the job even harder.
Out of water systems rely on pump systems. So they're
electrically powered. And that could account for some of the
difficulties that we've had plus an enormous amount of usage.
Stress on the water systems. There's a lot of different
factors
as well, what do you think the common thing is here, this theme
power? Yeah, they get these electric pumps and they don't
take into account the fact that if there's a bad fire like this,
it blows out the entire grid.
I don't want to how stupid don't they have generators? Don't what
do we have? Cheese?
I think you use the right word in that sentence. Stupid.
Yeah, it's like Yeah, yeah. What it would only be worse. If they
drove to the damn
fire truck.
Which is coming. I'm sure I'm sure there'll be a Tesla fire
truck. Oh, yes, this is great. We need one.
Zero to 60 in four seconds, which is something I never want
to see in a fire truck.
No, definitely not.
So these things so they could kick you over they go to some
guys rich house up there. Bel Air is on fire. And they hook up
and nothing because there's no water pressure. Because just
because the electric pump is burned out because of the nose.
No electricity for it.
Just like stupid. Yeah. Well, they'll fix it for next time.
A lot of spoiling going on. If you have to do it by the year in
Southern California actually Northern California to New
needs. You need a contractor for something.
Good luck.
The President announced I guess he announced at this morning
that he's going to be EA said we're gonna move our embassy to
Jerusalem.
I do have the to Jerusalem clip from CBS if you want to play it
okay, let me see Jerusalem is it called Jerusalem clipped by new
to Jerusalem? To, as in T Oh, yeah. Cuz sometimes it oh to
Jerusalem I see what you're saying. Okay.
David thank France announcement today that the United States now
recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel for the first
time since the Jewish state was founded nearly 70 years ago. Mr.
Trump also ordered the State Department to begin planning to
move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. A campaign
promise, Major Garrett is at the White House.
We cannot solve our problems by making the same failed
assumptions and repeating the same failed strategies of the
past.
President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel rejects the policy of previous presidents and the
recommendations of his secretaries of State and
Defense.
This is a long overdue step to advance the peace process and to
work towards a lasting agreement.
But administration officials could point to no evidence this
symbolically important shift in US policy will accelerate peace
talks. Mr. Trump's son in law Jared Kushner is leading that
White House effort and has yet to formulate a plan.
We will move the American Embassy to the eternal capital
of the Jewish people Jerusalem.
In an appeal to his Christian conservative base candidate
Trump promised the embassy move there is today he started that
effort, which is expected to take at least four years,
a new embassy.
Now, I have a couple of questions about this. But also
have another clip I want us to listen to first of all, I
believe today. This announcement comes on the 100 year
anniversary of the Battle of Jerusalem, which is a meet which
is not being mentioned. I thought that was rather
interesting. Yeah. And I'm thinking he must have some kind
of deal with Bibi. He said look, because I mean, it's it's
largely unimportant. Other than that, you know, a whole bunch of
Arab countries hate him and
made him anyway. Yeah, they do. And
here it is, I think we have a world leaders clip and play that
for a second.
calls between President Trump and several leaders here in the
Middle East have unleashed a wave of alarm and even anger.
This is why there are concerns that if President Trump goes
ahead and recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and
starts the process of moving the US embassy from here in Tel Aviv
to Jerusalem, the Arab world will see the United States as
choosing sides siding with Israel in the long running
dispute between the Israelis and Palestinians. Now, Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas through his spokesman tonight says that
the moves could kill the peace process. King Abdullah of Jordan
said the potential us action could have dangerous
repercussions for security throughout the region. And
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi also weighed in telling
Trump there's no need to complicate matters here in the
Middle East Palestinian factions are now calling for three days
of rage right across the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. As a
result, Israeli security forces are now preparing for
demonstrations that could very well turn violent.
So three days of rage. Yeah, I don't know if that started yet.
But yeah, it started. So what is it what is behind this? Clearly,
he must have some, some agreement.
Well, number of presidents have promised to do this over the
years because Israel once once Jerusalem recognizes its castle,
which is already is the capital, the Prime Minister's there, I
mean, everything's there.
stuff going on. Yeah. And for some reason, and I'm not even
absolutely sure what the reason is, we've been reluctant to do
it, even though I believe Clinton and Obama both promised
to do it. And both by the same Secretary of State kind of
mentality No, no, no, no, don't don't do it's just gonna piss
everybody off. So they didn't do it. And Trump promised and
promised in the campaign to do and he did it. And now it was
still worked, you know, and all the world's leaders are all bent
out of shape and all the rest. And I find it the right probably
that I think maybe I don't know, if you're thinking any
differently. I'm kind of baffled by the by the outrage. It's
their capital.
Well, I mean, I understand the outrage from from Arab states
because there's no there's dispute. Well, even I don't
fully understand that. Oh, well. There's dispute this is what the
Six Day War was about. There's dispute about its Yes, we have
the Temple Mount, then the wall, but we also have an important
Mosque has all kinds of importance of
like, what so why can't it be the Capitol? It's not gonna be
bothered, it's not gonna be shoved over.
Well, I think it's the Jews and Arabs hating each other. That's
probably a summer they
hate each other. But so what's the I just don't see it
personally, not getting the reason for all the outrage. And
Theresa May and everybody's all bent out of shape about it.
Okay, well, maybe someone will help. But what I wanted to
listen to now, we're gonna get a history lesson, we're going to
get it, it's fine. It's not going to be useful.
Maybe it will be at least modern day version. Now listen to
a lot of dudes named Mohammed. And yes, we do. We have a dude
named Mohammed Mohammed. It's actually dude a bomb. And he's a
he's always been quite good at analysis. He'll give it to us.
Yeah, actually, that a couple of these guys have been pretty good
at it.
Now, I want you to listen to this piece of the it's actually
the last minute of Trump's announcement. And tell me, our
president doesn't have dentures
for the many who desire peace to expel the extremists from their
midst. It is time for all civilized nations and people to
respond to disagreement with reasoned debate, not violence.
And it is time for young and moderate voices all across the
Middle East to claim for themselves a bright and
beautiful future. So today, let us rededicate ourselves to a
path of mutual understanding and respect. Let us rethink old
assumptions and open our hearts and minds to possible
possibilities. And finally, I asked the leaders of the region,
political and religious, Israeli and Palestinian, Jewish and
Christian and Muslim to join us in the noble quest for lasting
peace. Thank you. God bless you, God bless Israel. God bless the
Palestinians and God bless the United States.
Techies the last part is the best
washi people have been speculating about this and I
didn't never thought of the dentures angle. Oh, god
bless Israel. God bless the Palestinians and God bless the
United States.
statues are loose. To me that's I hear dentures. I don't know
what everybody else was having a stroke. Drug drunkies Yeah,
well, it couldn't be Adderall. You're nailed
it. You nailed it. I think it's I think it's done chiminea kudos
for nailing it You nailed it is what it is, is he's got the
wrong Polly grip you know, as you've been reused guy can reuse
this again. This has never been revealed.
Now. Well, this is why we are the no agenda shows why his
his teeth look really good for a guy who is in his 70s.
Yes. Particularly with the the dental care they had back in the
70s. Yeah, he's, yeah. Gee, I hope I don't have to have
dentures when I'm 70 though that you have dentures, no,
God, no, not seven. So I love that job. You might as well just
be government.
Government. Come on President government. And you know what
they
were I don't think they ever been around the party gave
power. They could have such a field day, the press. If only
they would think about stuff like this. You know, because
then you could have questions. You can ask questions, you can
ask questions
where dentures were they falling out when he gave his speech
about Israel? Yes. Sarah Huckabee about that. See what
she says?
Oh, did you hear what Chelsea Handler said about Sarah
Huckabee Sanders,
or a pig or something
which when somebody from the Trump White House stands at the
lectern and tows us that black is
white, that harlot that the dressing up and dropping out
every day? I mean, one day she's she has no makeup on at all the
next she's got like six foot long eyelashes, and she's got
cleavage and summer for lipstick all over her face. Can you
believe what they've turned her into a proper trollop?
Wow, that's a woman on woman hate right there.
It's a hate hateful woman.
That's not okay. No, and it's all about appearance, you know,
call her
out because she's a Democrat.
Oh, I'm sorry. What am I thinking?
Yeah. woman on woman hate Yes.
Well, I've got a bunch of clips up about that read that. I went
to Democracy Now started following them because they
always have new stories and nobody else plays. This kind of
built up. Now. We got to catch up with some of these stories
because nobody He's playing these stories. And so I want to
do that but before we do it, there's a radio guy named Quinn,
who apparently I have clipped to. Yeah, Thomas Kilbride are
one of our producers did dug it up and actually sent him this
stuff. And Quinn played you want you play your copy? Because my
copy I still have to lose silence at the beginning it
needs to be.
Okay, well then I have to go and find out where it was. Well, you
can just play mine again. We
can talk over.
Yeah, good. No problem. Here we go. Okay.
I'm also a guy named Tom sent me an email here about a radio show
called The no agenda show. Hosted by Adam curry former VJ
and to
hear the disdain in his voice, like I haven't venereal disease
by Adam curry. Yeah, he couldn't be worse. by Adam curry former
VJ? Did you get any VJ on you? And tech columnist John Hey,
what's
his what's his reverb? Should we be doing that?
I hope not.
I love it is reverb was quite spectacular. It's it's really
doing it for by
Adam curry, former of Vijay and tech columnist John Dvorak.
Well, I know him
ma I know that guy. But anyway, that's the mouse guy.
They've identified what they call the Trump rotation. See,
first it's unfit for office, then we move to Russia. Then
when that doesn't work, we go to the popular vote, we bring that
back again. And then we go to impeachment, and then to the
25th amendment, and then to he's a sex predator. And then to he's
nuts. Now we have to include obstruction of justice in the
rotation. So it's, yeah, it's obstruction of justice. And when
that doesn't work, we'll go back to unfit for office. Russia
didn't win the popular vote, you know, whatever it takes. But
that's the Trump rotation. Nice.
Wow, the he made us a jingle basically. Listen. Yeah, if you
just say that's the Trump rotation. Yeah, that's
the Trump rotation. At Thomas
Kilbride. Yes, sent that email. That's cool. I like that a lot.
Very good work.
I'm really appreciate that.
He didn't plug into nogen, the show.com site and call us a
radio show. But you know, from his perspective, I guess we are
I'm going to show my son move by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
We do have a few people to thank for show 988 And we'll just name
sand locations and we'll start off with Bruce Schwalm in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. And he actually is one of those bank
checks came in 12345. barons are hugger of kitties. 100 and this
is for his birthday. 1212 is another 1212 birthday. Is he on
the list?
Let me see. Yes, he is.
Chris and he came in 100 Chris Grog, what do you think? Your
Grandma Grandma or Grandpa, grandma, grandma,
grandma, grandma, grandma groggy Chroma and
Kingston New York 9880. He's a double digit jobs current for
his wife. And we'll put that on at the end and as birthday shout
listed can't Hilbert in Gainesville, Virginia. 75. You
got something there? I don't know what that is. You can look
at it when I'm going continuing. Do I Dwight Chix 6789 in
Burlington, Ohio, sir Abel, Abel Kirby Knight of the fighter
flight fight or flight glider flight 6660. Paul Plano, Paul
and Renton, Washington 65 Steven Hightower 5510. Sir Trent
Wallace is in Wemyss 5510 Double nickels on the dime Michael
gates a 50 to 80. Error hatch Patchell is an actual 52. Was
this Todd more? Let me scroll this. What goes up in Arlington,
Washington 50. We're already down to the 50 is a very short
list. Yeah, let's do the name the 50s name and location
starting with Todd and Jeff Williams in Mount Shasta,
California. Caleb Cunniff in in grain Valley, Missouri, David
Slazenger in Rosemont, Illinois, Tim Abel and Burghfield,

Have a great day gentleman from his loving girlfriend. So that's
from his girlfriend. Nice.
All right. And that's it. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Okay.
We'd like to list to be a little bit longer for Sunday show
pleases a lot of deconstructing to do, but it's your show. And
you pointed that out very well in the newsletter thought it was
really good. Yeah, it didn't work. Actually, you did, but not
in the way you wanted
it to work, because you said I just got a bunch of women or get
me for making assumptions. Well, you
said the only way did unlike commercial programs and fire
them where you can get fired. You know, it's all in the
interest of the advertiser. Either your advertisers get
targeted, it happens. You said no, the only thing can happen
is, you know, you determine you don't want the show to be here
anymore. And you said that's the way it should be.
And I think people took that to heart. Yeah, so it should be
Yeah. And they
said yes, I think okay, you guys suck your bunch of sexist pigs.
Exactly.
Well, we appreciate everybody supporting us who did and of
course, those who came in under $50. That is typically for
reasons of anonymity. And you know who you are. And we
I want to mention one thing. See, I got these cards from this
guy. Bless you both. Maybe so okay, if I may be so bold as to
ask for a call out to Dr. Mike. The rich and exceedingly cheap
bastard who hit me in the mouth and fealty to you both Craig now
noseley. So Dr. Mike in Cumberland BC. gets a call out
you just got it. And I don't know if as a call out for
douchebag because he never is cheap. So give him a douche bag.
Okay. That's what he wanted. Yeah. And I haven't made good
for certain sir Jimmy from Summerfield North Carolina. He
was looking for a quick plug, which we forgot to do for his
free Harlow books.com. And usually operational. Yeah,
really? Take a look at that. I have a number of his hollow
books. I have to and they're really good. I mean, it says
really, he made one for the judge. I mean, I got all kinds
of cool ones.
So he's got is this is the place to go if you want a hollow book.
Yes, yes. It's a good place to stash some cash in the
bookshelf. I mean in these books die although I do have to send
them a box of books, though as to book or some I keep promising
for the years always do it. Oh, is to book a class. It'd be a
great book to have a hollow holiday. Classic. Yes. And so
they're gonna ruin your book.
It's like, it's like these books are funny because he the books
are like, they got the covers and they look tattered, and they
look like a real book that you'd have. It's not like some now
it's the actual book. Yeah, yeah. It's a good looking book
and it's got just hollow inside is fantastic. Now he has a great
process.
Good yes and outstanding product. Andy, thank you very
much. And thank you again for donating and remember us for our

congratulations to you our brand new night and our brand new day
I don't want to be a douchebag Mr. Johnson as you heard earlier
in our first donation segments today, because a Baronet and we
congratulate him and the changes shall be reflected on our
peerage page to vortec.org/peerage.htm If I'm
not mistaken or ITM dot I am slash peerage who updates that
really do you update I never updated who appear
each page is not the page that shows the Knights and Dames.
It's the page that shows how to get to the different levels.
Now we have a peerage map I'm sorry, the spirit map. So
where's the peerage map?
That you used to know maybe if
I if I just do well, you know agenda. I'm going to bring it
you're gonna bring it good. By the way. Go to Bing it.io
Okay. Oh, God does.
Did you see it? Yeah, Bing.
Bing it.io Taylor. Have you tried it?
Yeah, Casey has no agenda page.
He had no agenda search page. Yeah, okay. Well, it's
eight no agenda page. You
didn't actually type it in, did you?
It says yeah, I did. I just got a picture of some like modern
art had no agenda and things is no agender.
I typed it in being at.io. You saw what no agenda
says no agenda. Welcome to the no agenda Show Notes search.
It's got a big photo of one of the cover art says no. Agender I
guess you didn't view obviously didn't
know and loads of different picture each time. Ah, that's
why. But anyway, and you know what? It's pretty damn useful.
I've just got into the habit of just bringing stuff and you come
up with great articles from the past? Almost, probably five, six
years, seven years.
It's not bad. All right. Well, you
being in this other thing right now.
Being in it. Yeah. Now what was it be I forgot what I was being
you are being installed the no agenda peerage page. Well, let's
I'm going to try it with Bing it. Okay. bing.io is being
it. Just being it that Dan Dennett that Dan Dan just being
it? Okay, we're looking for a song that has just been it? Get
that probably by the end of the show today? Yeah.
It does not have any results for the peerage page. Fail.
Aaron news would hate it when that happens. All right.
Let's see. Oh, a little update
on Sweden.
You know, things have been heating up over there. You don't
hear a lot about it in the M 5am. reporting about the migrant
issues and the stuff that they're bringing in or the stuff
that they're doing there. And a lot of the Swedes are pretty
angry about it. This is a podcaster a YouTuber named Peter
Sweden, but they
just didn't hear it. Things in Sweden have now escalated to a
completely new level. A military RPG weapon has been found in the
Swedish capital of Stockholm. Let us think about it for a
minute. This is an RPG a rocket propelled grenade. This is a
military weapon that is being used in vorse to take our tanks.
And this has now been found in the Swedish capital of
Stockholm. And not only did I find this RPG weapon, it was
actually loaded as well with a projectile. So a fully loaded
RPG was found in Sweden in 2017. It's it's not Somalia. It's not
Iraq. It's not Afghanistan. This is Sweden. A European country.
Damn, they haven't even had one of the water report. Well, this
just he's a podcaster you can't find this report anywhere on the
news go bing it. Lou, no one's talking about this funny RPGs
loaded
Yeah, I think it do some
damage. Brexit is Shiva kid gets a hold of it.
I want to hear about it. Brexit.
Still no prediction we hold fast to with that they'll have a do
over Tony Blair. He's all over it.
I think it's possible now that Brexit doesn't happen. Yeah, I
think it's absolutely necessary that it doesn't happen because I
think every day is bringing us fresh evidence that it's doing
us damage economically. Certainly doing established
politically. I think public opinion is moving on it. Look
this time last year, we were the fastest growing economy in the
g7. We're now the slowest and our savings ratio is the lowest
of the 50 years the investment community internationally has
now gone really negative on us our currencies down 10 12%.
Investment in the motorcar industry for example is down 13
and living standards are stagnating. I mean, this is
causing us real damage that's beyond doubt.
I mean, it hasn't even happened yet. Wouldn't you say that all
those problems are? Because they're in the European Union?
That would be the logic. They're still in the European Union.
Nothing's changed.
Where did all those problems come from? Just because they
wanted to Brexit?
Yeah. Doesn't make sense.
I'm sorry. I'm feeling scared. No, I'm feeling to do over
that's what I'm feeling.
You know, guess who's been saying this as the Yes. Yes. You
know,
I give you I give you total props for that. While we're
spanning around the globe, let's go to Canada. Navia. Justin
Trudeau on global warming, a bit of a I don't know if you realize
what he was saying. But it turns out to be just a beautiful
little 22nd clip.
Let me be very blunt about this. Coal represents perhaps the
greatest challenge to Canada or to the world not meeting I like
how that's a nice little faux PA. It's the greatest challenge
to Canada. I mean, the world. Yeah, it's a challenge to
Canada, because they're the oil guys. I think he was speaking
the truth there.
Maybe it's the
greatest challenge to Canada or to the world not meeting. Its
climate change targets. Unless we reduce coal consumption. We
are not going to be able to create create catastrophic
global warming.
Hmm, that's interesting.
Here's a really lovely this clip. This is a Good Morning
America did this clip. This is a 2000 this is 2004. This is done
2004 2008. There's only a bit of it. A prediction of what's going
to happen in 2016. Agricultural production
is dropping because temperatures are rising. There's about
1 billion people who are malnourished that number just
continually grows
is June 8 2016. One carton of milk is 1299 gases reach over $9
a gallon.
I remember this we I think I probably still have that
original clip. Which was this was a whole like it was like a
10 minute thing about Yeah, of all this horrible things that
will happen in 2015 gas will be $9 a gallon and brown mill
Johnny knows Yeah, we're all we're all gonna die. Definitely
gonna die have a bunch of stuff that doesn't get reported
anyplace else. I got it all from Democracy Now. And I can do it
as a clip Blitz and get them out of the way. Oh, I don't have my
gold on my network today. Because you're having trouble
with get Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if we should do it. Let
me play a few things for you. That we've not get hearing about
travel ban and the UN treaty.
Yep, I think I can do this.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday the latest iteration of
President Trump's travel ban can go into effect even as legal
challenges continue in lower courts. The courts order means
the Trump administration can fully enforce its new
restrictions on travel from eight countries six of them
predominantly Muslim. The ruling will bar most citizens from Iran
Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad and North Korea from
entering the United States along with some Venezuelans. The
latest version was issued in September shortly before the
Supreme Court was set to hear oral arguments on the previous
iteration of the travel ban. Last month, the Trump
administration asked the Supreme Court to allow Trump's latest
travel ban to take effect following an appeals court
ruling that blocked part of it from being enacted. We'll have
more after headlines. The travel ban came as the Trump
administration said it's withdrawn from the US from the
United Nations Global Compact on migration. Over the weekend, US
Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, said President Trump will
no longer commit to the deal in which countries pledged to
uphold the rights of refugees help migrants resettle and
ensure they have access to jobs and education.
Moves
unreported. Honduras news.
Okay.
In Honduras police in the capital Tegucigalpa refused to
impose an overnight curfew ordered by the government after
days of protests over allegations of fraud and the
country's disputed presidential election. Electoral officials
say they will not declare a winner in the November 26
election order to allow the filing of challenges and
appeals. early Monday the government control the Electoral
Commission found that incumbent us back President Juan Orlando
Hernandez was ahead of opposition candidate Salvador
Nasrallah by a margin of about one and a half percent after a
recount of suspicious votes from just over 1000 polling state
shunts, Nasrallah and supporters have charged the commission with
vote rigging. We'll have more on the crisis in Honduras later in
the broadcast.
Here's what they don't want you to hear V w guys get prison.
Yeah heard about this
senior Volkswagen manager was sentenced to seven years in
federal prison today. For his role in the emission scandal.
Oliver Schmitt, German had pleaded guilty to fraud. Schmidt
led VW is engineering and environmental office in
Michigan, and covered up the company's scheme to cheat on
diesel emissions tests. So
let me throw one in here. Hold on a second.
I'll do a little
route through through.
Congress votes down al Green's articles of impeachment. The
House
overwhelmingly voted today to kill a resolution from a liberal
Democratic lawmaker to impeach President Trump. A majority of
Democrats joined Republicans in opposing the move. Democratic
Congressman Al Green of Texas says President Trump has
associated his presidency with causes rooted in bigotry and
racism. After greens resolution was read aloud the House voted
364 to 58. To table that measure
room 33.
I'll do one more. A compilation of Democrats flipping out over
the United States tax bill, madam president in the early
hours Saturday morning. Under the cover of darkness, the
Republican majority rushed through one of the worst, most
hastily considered pieces of major legislation I've seen in
my time here in the Senate. We are all going to die. This is
Armageddon.
Friday was
my single worst day. As a US senator. It's really
akin to rape. This is
the death penalty to the people in my district. How can our
Republican colleagues be so heartless and cruel, I
think it's undemocratic. And as anti American is anything I've
ever seen
one of the great robberies act of criminal activities, if you
like, in the modern history of this country because the federal
treasury is being looted.
Tonight. That's why we call it a tax scam. We're educating the
American public about this tax scam is the worst
mill in the history of the United States calm worse, cruel,
align malicious, misguided bill,
if the Republicans pass this horrible tax bill, with a health
care repeal added and
this is really devastating,
but I think this could trigger a depression in the United States
at some point a depression in the United States. You really
believe that recession? I'm sorry. Well, my
piece explains why an estimate that 1000s will die as a
consequence of this bill is actually a very conservative
estimate.
I didn't come down to Congress to rape and pillage the people
of my district
they're all going on at night before you go on with that.
It might be true by the way I don't know. It's very possible.
Who knows?
It seems unlikely but they're going on and on about that and
all the news people are covering one thing or another, but how
come they don't cover this story? This isn't this will be
the last clip list. I got other stuff to talk about the plate.
This one I thought was like outrageous is the cluster bomb
story route 33. Blues would have been slick if the Trump
administration is wave. Play it there. The Trump administration
is waved a ban on older cluster bombs paving the way for the US
to expand its use of the weapons which are banned under a treaty
signed by over 100 nations. The weapons scatter so called
bomblets over a wide area exploding into shrapnel that
tears through flesh. Some of the bombs failed to explode
effectively becoming landmines that later maim and kill
civilians, especially children.
Wow.
How does that not get discussed why these guys are going nuts
about this other stuff? Well,
you know why you that you're asking? You're asking questions
that we know the answers to.
And there's another one that's kind of not? Yeah. This is the
Yemen update. This is the President that ex President that
the Houthis are out to get is dead and nobody mentioned it to
me. Yemen,
in Yemen former President Ali Abdullah Salah was confirmed
dead Monday after a video posted online by Houthi rebels showed
Salas lifeless body dumped in the back of a pickup truck.
Salah was killed as pitch battles continue to rage in the
Yemeni capital Sana between Houthis and forces allied with
Salas political movement. The Killing could escalate Yemen
Civil War, which is brought 7 million people to the brink of
famine and found a massive cholera epidemic.
Ah, yeah, I was.
I was gonna get this
Well, the one that I really I really looked for a clip it may
be available by now but this morning I looked everywhere,
even our tea and roughly you know those guys, Saakashvili,
you know the tie eaten nut job from Georgia, the country
Georgia, so he was arrested. And then people broke into the
police station set him free. They got him out over the roof.
You got to see this video. It's crazy. And apparently because
you know, he was in some kind of corruption scheme with the
Russians talk about a Orange Revolution hit job this has
Soros his hands all over it. We're not getting
any real good news. There was one story that also Democracy
Now did on the national monuments roll back to get
everybody all bent out of shape. I don't personally didn't think
it was as big a deal as AIG to make it because over the years,
anyone who has been following this as the federal government
has been buying up private property all over the place
where they own like most
of the Obama administration did a lot of that. Yeah, they
were really overdoing it. So Trump rolled back some of it on
a couple of monuments that are in the middle of nowhere, Utah,
is national monuments. Got it.
Donald Trump traveled to Utah Monday, where he announced plans
for the largest rollback of federal land protection in US
history. The plan calls for shrinking the Bears Ears
monument by more than 2 million acres that's more than 80% and
splitting it into two separate areas. Trump would also slash
the state's 1.9 million acre Grand Staircase Escalante
National Monument by 50%. The national monuments were
designated under the century old Antiquities Act a law meant to
protect sacred sites, artifacts and historical objects. Trump
criticized the law on Monday.
Your timeless bond with the outdoors should not be replaced
with the whims of regulators 1000s and 1000s of miles away,
they don't know your land. And truly, they don't care for your
land like you do.
But from now on, that won't matter. I've come to Utah to
take a very historic action to reverse federal overreach and
restore the rights of this land to your citizens.
Trump's move drew outrage among environmentalists, 1000s of whom
marched on Monday through the streets of Salt Lake City where
riot police held them back from the meeting between President
Trump and leaders of the Mormon Church. The protests came as
five Native American tribes filed suit against President
Trump Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. He and several other
officials in a bid to halt the rollback.
So I guess the The protests are saying that he's doing this to
give the oil companies free rein to go and drill on the land is
or does that it?
Mineral companies? I don't know. I mean, there's data monuments
are still protected. It's just that Obama and Clinton are the
two people that did each of these two monuments. And they
just, they just took a whole chunk of half the state so you
can't do anything. Why did they do that? Because they were
because the feds have been doing this for years buying up. You're
taking it using any excuse to take up property owned property.
It's just Washington state is like half owned by the fence.
And so it's California.
It's it's basically job security for the feds.
I guess I don't know what to call. I mean, there's other
rationales for but the Feds OWN WAY too much in the United
States. I mean, you know, it's not the idea for the government
to own all the property.
I have an update on victims of the directed energy weapon
attack in Cuba.
Yeah, there these guys are in bad shape.
doctors who are treating the victims of the unexplained
attacks on Americans and Cuba have discovered abnormalities in
their brain as they've been searching for answers for how
these patients developed all kinds of symptoms ranging from
neurological to vision and cognitive problems. The doctors
have found changes in the white matter tracks white matter in
the brain acts like highways of information that lets different
parts of the brain talk to each other. These are the most
specific medical findings to date that doctors have been able
to come up with showing that whatever harmed the Americans in
Cuba, it led to discernible measurable changes in their
brain. Investigators still don't know what kind of device or
weapon could cause these types of changes in the brain. And
outside experts tell the AAP that acoustic waves or sound has
never been shown to change white matter tracks. They also say
it's very unusual to see changes in the white matter without also
seeing changes to the gray matter neurons that probably
Some information in the brain. The US says 24 American
government workers in Havana were hit by unexplained attacks
in their homes. And in some cases, hotels, almost all of the
Americans heard some unexplained sound and then later develop
symptoms. Some of those symptoms included hearing loss, cognitive
problems, memory and balance issues and even eyesight
problems the US has, it still doesn't know who's doing this.
But as it learns more about what's happened to these
victims, they're learning more about how to treat potential
cases in the future.
With white matter damage, there can be all sorts of behavioral
or sensory or motor problems, because the white matter is what
really allows the entire brain to communicate with itself.
Damage to the white matter can cause changes in thinking it can
cause sensory changes. In some cases it can, it can cause
changes in movement, or speed or thinking abilities in general.
So typically, when we talk about white matter damage that might
be due to sound, we're talking about major explosions, or what
we call blast injuries. And so if someone is in a battlefield,
for example, and there's an explosion near them, that the
massive sound waves can can indeed disrupt the white matter
and change the subtle microstructure of the white
matter that's been documented. I'm not aware of anyone who's
ever shown sort of more focused or subtle, sound related damage.
And there's something in that report that tells you about
PTSD, I guess, that your brand, your brain actually changes, the
white matter changes because of a sound blast.
It was removed. If you remember when this first happened, there
was a CIA guy on one of the shows who says, you know, maybe
we shouldn't be talking about this and probably shouldn't be
blaming the Cubans is making some sort of apology. And I
think it's a weapon that we've developed.
I have a clip. That's the it says here, Cuban sound incident
with spook, I think that was listening to it.
The bizarre incidents beginning last October left a group of US
diplomats with severe hearing loss, blamed on what one
official says could have been a surveillance device deployed
inside or outside the Americans Havana residences, which are all
owned by Cuba's government. Several US agencies, the CIA,
FBI and State Department's Diplomatic Security Service are
all investigated.
We don't know exactly where this came from. Okay, we can't blame
any one individual or a country at this point yet An
investigation is underway. We take that very seriously.
Canada also says some of its diplomats in Havana also
suffered symptoms. When he said even for the SEC got they
wouldn't come in in a van. A Cuban newscaster says the
Government is investigating and quote, Cuba has never nor would
it ever allow that the Cuban territory be used for any action
against accredited diplomatic agents or their families. So
who's responsible? Perhaps a third country some suggest
possibly even Russia where there has been a surge of harrassment
and outright attacks against US diplomats in recent years, or
just a surveillance attempt gone terribly wrong. As a former CIA
veteran,
I personally think it was an accident, a surveillance
attempt. I do not think the Cubans would attack us
physically like that, especially given the timing.
The US has already expound to
There you go. Yeah. Accident. You're right. It's probably one
of our things. And we have it there we have it at Gitmo or
whatever. And someone pointed in the wrong direction. It went
off. Yeah, it was cleaning it and went off. Yeah, something
like that.
But we just had to we have something like this is terrible.
Yeah. Who the hell wants to get hit by one of those? Whatever
that thing does.
There's a
concerning report, I should have done this in your UK hamburger
bit and about the rats. There's something wrong with the weed in
the UK. Then I'm saying that as an expert in the consumption of
the holy herb. Chronic cannabis users are at resistance from the
Daily Mail. So you know, it's true. Chronic cannabis users are
at risk of experiencing a horrifying new condition that is
being reported at hospitals across the country.
skyrocketing. Doctors say, is becoming an all too familiar
sight at emergency rooms with patients screaming and vomiting
as they turn up for help. Yeah, the condition called cannabinoid
hyper Miss meses syndrome CHS is not properly understood, but
medical experts believe the symptoms appear from individuals
using or consuming heavy amounts of marijuana over a long period
of time. And then they they literally scream and vomit at
the same time or scrubs contaminated
drugs must be yeah, there's got fentanyl in it or something
something
really bad and you should immediately stop smoking,
whatever weed is out there and grow your own soul get where
it's legal and go Grow Your Own. This isn't this is This are your
own. I mean in California or we're actually not California
yet, but it's in January, but in Washington State and Colorado,
they have labs that test all the dope. So when you're buying from
one of these shops you're not getting some crazy crap up off
the street. And the fact that some of these drug dealers think
oh well shouldn't even be passes a lot because the street stuff
and get a cheap borrow we like to stay in business as drug
dealers is nonsense, because this is what happens. What
you're dealing with is some contaminate somebody. Some
people in the government hate the stuff so much they'll
contaminate it was rat poison, and you smoke it and you get
sick.
Damn. That's really bad. Yeah, yeah.
Okay, got a couple more.
Well, I have one, I have one longer clip, I just want us to
listen to, okay, because it's a real beauty. And it really shows
you the problems with the political correctness, social
justice warriors in politics and government. I don't know if you
saw this or not. It's a little long, but it's, I cut it down as
much as I could. But just everything was so dynamite. This
is the mayor of Brighton, Minnesota, Valerie Johnson. And
she's on a city council meeting. Now these things are streamed
live, typically. And this is this is really just like a
conference table. They're sitting over in the corner of
maybe the
auditorium. This great clip. Yeah. And,
and it's streamed live, because that's, you know, that's the
transparency and openness of today's today's What do you call
it not legislative that legislators know, City Council's
Yeah, City Council's right. And it was just mind boggling.
We all have white privilege. We don't know what it's like to not
have it. Because we do we go everywhere. And we're just we
have that we we don't know the difference. We don't know what
it's like to not have it. And I said we can't do what look at
who's up here. We can't move forward. As all being people of
white privilege. We can't because we don't know the
difference of not having
this. Now. This is one other person councilmember and the
mayor is about to respond.
That that's the first council member and then the person who
responds is another council member calling her out. And then
the mayor in America, you'll hear
that it's the mayor, I said, we can't do what look at who's up
here. We can't move forward. As all being people of white
privilege. We can't because we don't know the difference of not
having
it because I'm white. You think I was privileged my whole life?
Are you kidding? I grew up in an Italian neighborhood when they
came here. My grandfather came they didn't speak English, but
they assimilated. But I but I resent that you think that I
have white privilege of everybody I work for or with is
usually from another country. And they say to me, here's what
they say is we as Americans don't realize, and it doesn't
matter what color we are as Americans, because I believe we
are all Americans is that we are privileged to just live here. So
I don't want to think that this body doesn't feel that they
can't represent people because they're white,
you are the exact reason we need this concept, this commission.
If you don't understand white privilege, then you are not
sending those people. You're not willing to listen to them. And
what you have just said is the most racist. Excuse me?
Don't you ever, ever accused me of that? You have no basis to
say something like that in public? And no basis? Daddy,
something like that.
Then let me let me rephrase it. That statement was one of the
most racist things I've ever heard what statement that you
that you are offended by the fact that you're not feeling the
white privilege thing. White privilege exists. And it is
something that we need to accept in this country.
If you don't have you're in, you're interrupting me. And by
golly, I'm running. We're on camera. I'm running a me of
something pretty big here. I guess. It's unacceptable.
Your Honor. Order? No, I have basis for based on what you just
said. No, you don't well, because you said hi to Barnard.
You understand Oh, excuse me.
I've worked with the I probably know many more people of color
than you do.
My favorite part. I know more people of color than you knew.
And I
work with them. So I did not want to have this argument with
you. But you are out of order and you're out of line. Okay,
fine, that the discussion I just heard now makes me so angry. I'm
faking.
You refuse to understand how But other people in this community
feel how do you bite you right wounds
out of a fuse
because you're you're obviously not going to support this.
You're obviously not going to support this and what you're
doing. You don't
know what I'm gonna support, but I have to interrupting me.
You're accusing me of things that are wrong. Quit
interrupting me. I'm
going to finish my statement. What I heard was a racist
statement. What I heard was a racist statement. No, you're
just crediting I got down I'm passionate about this. I am so
passionate about hearing all sides of the story and for you
to disregard the fact that white privilege exists is beyond me.
Oh.
And just wrap things all around. Wouldn't it be better if women
ran everything
well, I don't think I can talk that
I think that's good. I got some clips I'll play at the next show
which are just as good then as they will be now.
Yeah, I gotta I got lots of stuff leftover I've got a funny
funny gay clip. I think you'll like you know from the gays. The
gays yes that gays All right everybody. The troll room like
that common job for sure. Oh my goodness. That's writing

it up for today we will return on Sunday with another episode
