Yeah. Hey, Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. There's a January
4 2018. This is your award winning combination media
assassination episode nine or nine or six.
This is no agenda. Measuring buttons
and other appendages and broadcasting live from downtown
Austin Tejas capital, the golden star state, the colonial era.
Good morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and in from Northern Silicon Valley where we're asking the
big question, will they pick up the garbage today? I'm John C.
Dvorak. Buzzkill.
Why would they not pick up the garbage today? It's garbage day.
It is garbage day. But last week, they moved it to Friday
because they had the Monday off.
Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I remember these issues. I don't have that
here on the condo.
We just had to steal your shit out the window. Yeah.
On the East Austin. Hey, gentrification coming your way,
people that Look out below. I actually I do love the trash
chute. I have to say, a trash heap is nice, because it's
always there. I don't have to worry about it after. I mean,
you don't really even have to separate your recyclables. It
all goes into one big container downstairs. I've seen it. Yeah,
it's not two separate containers. It's a joke.
There's a lot of there's a lot of that thing when you're
right off the bat. This is news that? I don't know. It was very
interesting to me. I don't know if if all of our audience finds
it interesting. But apparently, in the Intel chips, there's a
bug or a flaw or maybe it's a glitch
in your feature.
And it and it allows hackers to enter into the subsystem. I
don't know. Apparently, it affects all Intel machines. The
fix is available. But the fix might slow down all of these
chips by up to 30%. Have you heard this? Yeah. What is going
on? That's
a big fuss going into? You don't think that's? I don't know what
to do? Yeah, well, maybe. I don't know what the deal is. All
I know is I've heard this and AMD and Intel are going back and
forth about it. Yeah. Our chips are better. You guys have never
been that good. Right? And this and that. So you end up with
this, this and that. And the other thing? Yes, then and so on
and so forth. So I don't know yet what was going on?
I mean, I'm finally over to a Windows machine.
Well, I don't think your chips are affected
it's a new chip. I've I think of the ice
cube actually believe it is
although Wow, alright, hadn't gotten I hadn't considered the
Dell would rip me off.
No, it's gonna get it don't get me the big they were talking
about these are the well, I don't know. I'm not gonna talk.
We just
don't Okay. We just don't know yet. Okay, that's fine. Well,
then tell me about the earthquake this morning. Did you
feel it? It was near? Yeah, actually,
I woke up just before the earthquake, which is not
unusual. Because you live in earthquake country.
Yeah, you're like, you're like a parakeet. You'd like a dog.
index. So the earthquake starts and
stops up. So you woke up before it even happened? You felt it
was something was going on?
No, I didn't felt that something was going on. I just never wake
up in the middle of the night all the time. Do you? When you
wake up? Do you think oh, something's gonna happen?
Something's going on.
No, very rarely. I think I gotta poop. That's usually what I
think. Well, there's
that that's different. Anyway, so I woke up just kind of, well,
I didn't like wake up and jump out of bed. I just kind of woke
for just a split second, and then the earthquake started. So
I'm sure there was some early wave or something
that might have jostled, you jostled you a bit.
And so it started it was a good one. It was like a reasonably
good shaker. I mean, it was a shaker
magnitude 4.5 Which I believe on the old Richter scale was
probably about a two.
I don't know. Yeah, it would this would be more than the two
I can assure you Okay, and so when these things happen, I've
been through a number of them to start shaking and it's not like
the normal short quake that you know, the 3.3 or whatever it is
that nearby this was nearby. This is only just right by the
Fairmont Hotel.
was in a damage any damage at the Claremont I have no idea.
This is two miles from Berkeley.
Yeah, well, it was just a couple of miles away. And so it's so
it's it wasn't the typical little short nearby quake is
like it says that sounds like some truck hit your garage and
ran into it. I missed exactly what it sounds like to meet. And
this was not one of those. This was an actual shaker so start
shaking last about what to do about three seconds, which is a
long time to leave New in the house is moving around kid
Seeing and, and I was just laying there, you don't jump out
of bed and go try to put yourself under an arch or
anything you just wait. So you
instead of doing what they always teach, like go stand in
the doorway go you just walk back you lay down in bed kind of
like Titanic
to see how long it's gonna go on. And so it goes from one oh
geez to the ends, and then you use cars and wait a little
longer to see if that was a pre quake. That's the real problem
was and then you don't? Maybe a minute goes by and you go right
back to sleep.
Yes, I remember that experience from Los Angeles says a lot of
this is true, but this one was close to you. So it was kind of
like, it was jarring,
it would really shoot to place but it was you know, three
seconds, which is again. Alright, that sounds like a lot
until you're in it. And I'm gonna I'm gonna report it. They
do. USGS has a reporting service. So if you're in a quake
at all, you should go into the service, find out what quake you
think it was, and then report your experience.
Oh, it's user generated reporting? Yes. It's funny. I
haven't received any space weather alerts for a while
maybe. Maybe it broke with the iOS 11 upgrade. So tired of
upgrading.
So regarding the quake, apparently Nick and J, which are
they're pretty close to Claremont. O'Dell. It gets shut
down pretty good, but Jay just kind of slept through it. And
Nick, who's from Washington State was freaked out.
He's not used to this stuff.
Personally, they happen all the time anyway.
Well, if it's not an earthquake, it's the bomb cyclone.
I have some some clips about the bomb cyclone. Yeah, this
including an explanation of bomb cyclone good. I think this was
on CBS and he specifically asked, he says, can you tell me?
What's the difference between a bomb cyclone and Bombo? Genesis,
which is the other version of this is the clip defining.
Eric first of all, what is the preferred term here and what
does it mean?
I would go old school I'd go with Bombo Genesis. Another way
of
old school.
I know I have you ever heard this? Never heard it. I've
never heard this term before. That's not old school. That's
new speak term here.
And what does it mean?
Well, I would go old school I go with Bombo Genesis, a bomb
cyclone is another way of saying the same exact thing. So what
does it mean? Well, it's something that happens every
year. This will be pretty notable because of how deep this
storm
it happens every year yet we never talk about it. This is
great in a very short
amount of time. So we take a look at to this afternoon that
are low pressure east of Florida 1004 millibars run of the mill
tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock because it moves off the
New England shoreline. We're down around 955 millibars. That
is a tremendous drop almost 50 millibars and 24 hours, that's
Bombo Genesis has to be at least 24 and 24 hours. Why does it
matter to anyone on the ground? Well, the faster that pressure
drops, the more the winds respond in kind and this is
going to be a big wind maker across the coast especially in
New England. So here's the timeline snowing in North
Carolina this evening that will move up across the mid atlantic
coast. Heavy snowfall combined close to the coastline as we
head through the overnight and skirting the big cities like
Philly in New York. The heaviest snowfall falls in New England
throughout the day tomorrow all wrapped up as a storm that will
likely have an eye feature tomorrow if you're looking on
satellite allowed the appearance of something that would look
like a hurricane so you're the snow amounts Boston a foot or a
little bit more as possible New York about four to six Philly
one to three on that very back edge of the snowfall now this is
going to drag in nother blast of really impressive cold these are
mainly all record cold temperatures for highs as we
look into Friday and Saturday and at night widespread Sub Zero
readings this may be the coldest blast of the entire stretch that
we have seen here Jeff since dating back on Christmas
yeah
I guess I guess pepper these clips they had to give it a name
I guess in order to tie it into global warming has to have some
kind of scientific explanation
yeah they're gonna have trouble making I don't think so
that people are all in on this well here at
play when you hear play one of these steps you can follow it up
with this ISO. Yeah, baby. Okay. Yeah, baby. Thanks.
I'll work on it. We're going to have all these new type of man
on the street bits because you know we have with the hurricane.
with severe storms we have the we have the reporter on the
street in the water up to their waist with people walking by in
the background. Now we have the frozen face person
We'll try to get them into eastern Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina skipping ahead and one of my clicks to get as much as
six inches of snow and New England is likely to see 12 to
15 inches. As the cyclone travels up the coast wind gusts
could be around 30 to 50 miles per hour. The numbing cold is
already affecting areas in New York a blizzard warning has been
in effect for Erie County with snow falling fast
you can see gosh darn thing in front of you everything was
blurry there was completely wiped out right now even my
fingertips just from walking not even quarter you know for my
vehicle
we have a lot of those
wiped out Geez Louise,
just before we play all the I have a bunch of these clips
about this thing too. But before we do that, before we play all
those I want to mention it says You've mentioned a new theme
which I think the other thing was the standing in front of the
exact same fountain in
Frozen fountain Yes, pros and fowl always a winner always a
winner. Always a
winner. Always a winner. Now this was the I just want to play
this as kind of another thing I'm starting to see from CBS.
And I'm calling this the bad segway and this reminds me this
Rs 22 minutes or whatever that show. It used to be called up in
Canada. They had a whole segment called the bad segway.
Oh yeah, we I think you played stuff from that in the past on
the show. Yeah. And
it was like they talked about one thing at a time. That tells
me this this is the bad segue tell me this is not a classic
bad segue. There
is a dangerous weather system along the East Coast tonight. It
brought an ice storm to the south and could bring a major
snowstorm to the north overnights. We will have much
more on that in just a moment. But first the Arctic chill
between President Trump's former chief strategist.
I bought a line for that okay, I know let's link it like this.
Yeah, this is great.
We're gonna see a lot of this really a lot of bad. Bad Debts
because Jeff Glor is a cornball who's Jeff Glor, he's the He's
the new anchor and CBS Oh, that's the young guy. The
younger young guy. Oh, this stuff is
hilarious. Hey, I got an idea. Hey, the new guy had a great
idea. And I'd like to remind everybody that in the 70s, the
very same people, including I think, Holdren, who was Obama's
science advisor, who, Holdren, John P. Holdren. Oh, yes, I
think he was part of the global cooling crowd. And it was the
exact same as right fear mongering that you if you just
do Google search, you can find New York Times Time Magazine,
Newsweek, Washington Post tons of articles exactly the same as
you've seen in the past 10 years only. Warning for mini ice age
which now it appears we might be going into and I'm not so sure
I'd like that. I'd like warming better I believe
I think we should like warming better the cooling is going to
kill people. Yeah, now let's play this short clip. This is
the just average die like to know how you get this is gonna
be the hottest year on record, by the way. 2018 I can assure
you than any other in history
in history. Average temperature in USA this is the they're gonna
get played his average temperature clip
and get this the average temperature in the continental
US this morning was just nine. degree
number nine.
The whole country Damn,
it was 20. It went down to 20 here in Austin
went down to 51 here at night. Was the quake. Yeah. All right.
Well, here's another I got the storm update snow in Florida,
which is kind of interesting. Okay, yeah, the people there.
Yeah. But but the one I want to play is another one that relates
more to global warming because it kind of makes you we didn't
have a lot of carbon dioxide problems in 1895. So let's play
Chicago to take cold snap record.
Folks in Chicago are used to cold weather, but this is a long
stretch even for them if the temperature does not rise above
20 degrees by Saturday, Chicago will tie a record for 12
consecutive days below 20. That has happened just twice before
in 1936 and 1895.
I think 12 consecutive days blow the 20s It's a depression. I'm
sorry, wrong. Wrong shard,
man. Yeah,
this is it's fun.
I'm what I'm getting from. This is a lot of tidbits. A lot of
tidbits. Yeah. You mean little bits of nuggets of info.
Yeah, useless information is fantastic. Yeah. But anyway who
want to play the storm update? This is a buck 49
clip. This was I 95 through Brunswick, Georgia. And while it
isn't rare to see a massive backup here, the cause of this
one was ice on the road this far south. Dozens of long haul
drivers decided it was time to pull over evenly church who is
from Indiana, put it in park,
trying to get up to at least somewhere in South Carolina
because I knew it's supposed to start snowing didn't work out
that way. Why not? Well, I'd say there's about a quarter inch of
ice on the road. And it's icing everything up. And just know on
top of is just real bad situation.
Hundreds of accidents littered roadways from Georgia to the
Carolinas, semi trucks flipped over and cars lost control.
Those who didn't heed the warnings to stay off roads found
themselves stuck. Georgia State Patrol Captain Chris right. So
this
is not something that our people are accustomed to dealing with.
So we want them to stay home stay off the roadway and stay
safe and stay warm.
The southern snow dipped as far as Tallahassee, Florida, which
hadn't seen much of any snowfall in nearly three decades. And
while it wasn't a whiteout it was an unusual sight for
tourists in the Palmetto State. Because Kroll is visiting
Charleston and it's
pretty wild and never seen palm trees with snow on him before
heading into
tonight winds could cause more power outages along southern
coastal communities. Ice that's formed on trees and powerlines
threatens to Weigh Down and snap them. This event area received
anywhere from one to four and a half inches of snow amounts not
seen in decades. And even though it's tapered off, you can tell
by this partly frozen fountain behind me the threat remains
roads could refreeze overnight and below average temperatures
are expected to last in the southeast through the weekend.
Cold really talking about decades. We haven't seen snow in
the San Francisco Bay area since the 70s. Yeah, right. And if
anything is the time it snowed here, right in San Francisco. I
think it was two years in a row. I've talked about this before it
and 7273 or 7374, one of the two. And that was the period
where they were promoting the global cooling cooling. Yeah,
yeah, it's snowing out must be global cooling.
The polar vortex is still in play. And here is how it works.
And the colder it gets, the more fossil fuels are burned. This
causes more calm and more burning of fossil fuels. So more
global warming and more cold. It's the vortex it's it's it's a
system that just takes us right down the drain. Wow. So we
should not turn on the heat you freeze to death. That's the way
our electricity went out. The other night when it was in the
20s and it was in
the 20s you electricity whether it's just a warning, no warning
shot across the bow.
No, the this is the LEED certification of this shitty ass
building. Yeah, so everything is you know, in order to get the
certification, which I believe comes with some tax advantages.
They cripple the dishwasher, they cripple the washing
machine, they cripple the dryer, they cripple the faucets, they
cripple the showerhead pressure. And I think they were really
running on your minimum amperage. Because when it was
really cold and everyone had their heaters going, boom, power
goes out and they were switching on floor by floor by floor and
they got to our block which is like five, five floors. They
would keep tripping. So they had to do I don't know what they
did, but they upped the amperage but I'm telling you it's because
of this
new Intel computer you get there. Yeah, that's right. It's
Susan hog. Hey, who's
who's mining bitcoins in the building? Stop it. By the way
the China's central bank has told top level government
internet finance officials that the monetary authority can now
tell local governments to regulate power usage of Bitcoin
miners to gradually reduce the scale of production
there's your flaw
Yeah, the government will not stand for this they'll do
anything and ultimately I'm pretty sure that they have some
power over the power Yeah,
well I'm sure that and
then I don't think your your solar panels are going to cut it
well I like know how they're doing in this weather in the
east or solar panels they must be fantastic covered with snow
must be great. Yeah.
Think you wrote this in the newsletter but I gotta clipped
you on
this before it's gone. In news. That's not so sweet. Business
Insider reports. There's a chocolate shortage and experts
say it's on track. to vanish by 2050 What on earth can we do
about it? Call Mars the candy company that is Mars
Incorporated is working with scientists at the University of
California Berkeley to develop cacao plants that won't wilt. In
the simplest of terms, warmer temps and drier conditions are
killing cacao plants. Thankfully brainiacs at UC Berkeley gene
editing technology that lets scientists and the candy company
tweak the crops DNA. This is important because over half of
the world's chocolate now comes from two countries in West
Africa, according to the International Business Times,
but in a few decades, these areas won't be suitable for the
plants. If all goes well, instead of relocating them up
hill in an area preserved for wildlife, the plants won't rot
or wilt where they are and we get to enjoy more chocolate. So
thank you. Firstly, Mars in the gene editing tool. You could
call them The Three Musketeers. Oh, see what I did there. Yeah.
GMO, yeah, GMO chocolate. Sounds good. Is this true? This is
really affecting the cocoa plant.
Oh, crap story.
It's just like to put an egg on it. Is this the chocolate
Council of America
today? Gonna buy the jug that people?
There must be a chocolate Council of America.
Oh, I'm sure there's more than one.
America let me just see. Let me see what they're saying. Yes,
chocolate. The National the national Confectioners
Association. That probably would be one of them. Now you're
talking let's see if there's any news.
Is there any samples?
Not on the web? You licked your screen slave No, I don't see any
any news about it here.
And that was a Mars Mars did that one.
Oh, yeah. here right. So Mars is going all GMO?
No, they just wanted to play Three Musketeers in their brand
name, Mars bar.
And the guy to see what I did there. Yeah, you got paid to do
that douche.
We get it. Yeah, no, I read this story. But it's bullcrap.
I had a I had a lunch the other day was someone anonymous. And
this person's partner works what kind of person is this? It's
anonymous person.
But is it a person that works? Is it a banker? Is it a lawyer?
Is it I can't
I can't tell you in this case, but it's an unimportant because
this person's partner is works at a food analysis company.
Yeah, and so they work for Kraft and you know all the all the big
packaged food outfits. And they use very according to this
person very sophisticated algorithms to determine two
things and two things only in all packaged food. One how can
they put in less ingredients and two how can they make it more
addictive and they've even developed these special you
probably know about this the salt crystals that are
triangular so there's less than you know, they take up less mass
or less space if they have more
expensive
it's Oh, it's expensive,
but it's not as cheap as just junk solids rather but that
tried there all the time the idea behind those crystals they
were developed to people would deliver your salt intake right
because it tastes just as salty but it's not
improve that down to a case for a cost basis case.
I would guess not personally but because it's a new new
technology and they don't just run the prices down for no good
reason when they don't want to have to
but if you look at mac and cheese from Kraft, it's pretty
much two ingredients you know it's it's plastic and cheese
flavoring.
Yeah
that's what they're striving for some
emulsifiers Yeah. It looks like cheese. Yeah,
it smells like cheese.
And it looks like macaroni good enough for me.
Yeah, exactly.
Some Joker one of our producers sent me one of the one of those
Amazon buttons or stupid buttons or orders to order something
yeah to order mac and cheese and
and how does it work? Do you have to connect it to Wi Fi or
how what is the connection mechanism
from the babies over and they just started pushing the button
push push push push back and she shows bundles of it. Now you
have to somehow turn it on on the luckily you have to turn it
on the Amazon their website somehow I don't know I'm not
even interested in I just thought it was funny.
Yeah, I'm about to get very uninterested in my talking tube.
Oh really waste this. Well,
a couple of actually reported this consumer watchdog that
where's my wolf when I need it? Exactly. Amazon filed a patent
easy something Yeah, actually I just had a Tums. I had a little
sour Sony a little
you have a little reflex slug reflux reflux. Yes.
Amazon filed a patent. And the patent is going to make use of
the fact that the talking tube is always in listening mode. We
know this. This is not a big secret. Yes, use the wake word
to activate it, but it's listening. Here it is. For
Amazon's Echo its
uses wake word.
Amazon envisioned it using that information to build profiles
anyone on the room to sell them stuff, Amazon sure filed a
patent application for an algorithm that lets the device
identify statements of interests such as I love skiing, enabling
the speaker to be surveilled based on their interests and
targeted for oil related advertising. I
genuinely didn't see this coming.
But here's the thing. I'm okay with him doing that. Here's the
problem. When will the stupid slaves of Gitmo nation wake up
and realize that Amazon should be paying them to do this?
People are still buying these things.
Yeah, this is like wearing around somebody's logo on and
pay on an overpriced shirt.
No shit. You got a point there? Of course the slaves will never
wake up. They love this shit.
Yeah. Oh, look good. I've got Chanel, look by Chanel, I'm
gonna Chanel. It's like, hey, they paying you to be the
spokesperson? I don't think so. Do you
have those? The pink sweatpants with pink? wear pink sweatpants
now? They go great with your crocs.
Absolutely.
And that, and that, but that folds right into a story in The
New York Times. So before
you fall right into that I have an aside yo. I've thought about
this, for some reason just came to me. I was driving because I
don't listen, I just drive
normally James. James is driving you Yes.
And so I'm thinking I want it. But I tell me, this would not be
a great idea. If you could hack that Amazon tube, or any of the
tubes, you hack it. So it so instead of it's listening all
the time, because it's listening all the time anyway, but it is
constantly phoning home to some specific IP?
No, it's not. That's not true. But okay, I understand what
you're saying you hack it.
So it phones home. Oh, okay, some IP address one of yours. So
you can put this thing you give it to somebody as a Christmas
gift, and then you monitor everything they do. So if
anytime,
that should be a feature. I agree. I'm telling you this
is this is one of those no agenda tips we try to provide in
every show. So people add maybe $5 to their donation. If you get
a gifted Amazon Echo, send it back.
We need to appropriate such a hack. I liked that idea. I know,
there could probably do it with the new world think of five or
six guys who could probably do it. Yeah. And
with a new echo. You can there's a camera and everything. So you
could do that too. That's great. That's a good idea. Now, here's
the thing that's disturbing, though. And this comes from the
New York Times. Yeah. And actually, you had showed me I
think, after the last show, whenever it was you were showing
me the how on cuz I'm new to Windows 10. How to find all
these apps, that shit had been installed. And I had like a
candy crush app or something with Believe me, and was never
accessed on this computer, or anything of mine. And yet, there
was and so you know, these little stuff that's being
installed. New York Times had a report about I think this is
only Android devices, but it's a big audience. A lot of these
games like honey quest pool, 3d bowling, strike, 10 pin. They
are of course free, then you play them to your heart's
content. But as you're sitting there on the couch, playing it,
it activates your microphone and listens to what TV is playing
and will start to hand off advertising targeting based upon
what commercials you saw, which I think is the is because you
know, that's just a signature, it's pretty easy to identify
once you have the database. And then it starts targeting online
ads with the product you saw on television.
You know, this seems to me to be one of those technologies that
somebody put through together to get some venture capital funding
because I want to share make the art I want to make the argument
that I doubt if any of this stuff even comes close to
working and I say that because everybody myself you everybody
listens to the show probably at one time or another guy but
dialed
down a lot because I'm at the top of most people's list
that's sitting. So you get the butt dial. And now you hear
somebody you might be able to identify, maybe not you can use
you by the phone number. And you listen, you listen, you can't
hear anything, for one thing is in their pocket or is laying
around and you can hear some people mumbling in the
background. I think I've only one time ever actually heard
part of a conversation. But generally speaking is useless.
So if these guys think that by we, I don't even care what the
array microphones that they're using those devices, Amazon and
the rest. If they think they're going to be picking up the TV
set, and figuring out what ads there are, they're nuts, as
well.
I'm sorry, I'm going to disagree. This is proven
technology. It works extremely Yes. Yes. How about Shazam? With
audio signatures that works extremely well. Radio Station
ratings are also done this way. With
which you can Yeah. thing right up to this? No,
no, no, I can be in a crowded restaurant and the work now
that's not true. It's it's a sound signature, it may not be
able to hear what people are saying and to discern that, but
it can definitely get a sound signature from an ad that has
music in it is packaged. I think you're wrong.
I think I'm right. Oh, you're wrong, I think is bullcrap.
It's all this stuff works. Ads are already tracking this way.
records or track this way. SoundScan tracks this way. When
it comes to I'm sorry, when it comes to a signature for audio.
Yes, that is now possible.
There's plenty of examples, and I've had it myself where you use
one of these things that you can't figure out the song.
Yeah, okay.
If you've got if you're gonna be playing in all state ad, you
know, the guys talking and there's no music, which means
that very few ads have music, by the way. And mostly somebody's
trying to sell you something really,
really fighting on something that I don't understand. Because
it's already been proven to work now.
You should send me the papers. I'll send you
a clip the papers and the clip. Yes. Then and a lot of people
and I will say mainly Millennials I hear they're
complaining a lot. Just you can bring it saying hey, is my my
phone and they all say Facebook is facebook listening to my
phone because I'm talking about something and it shows up. No,
I'm convinced. These are all live games. They all have these
free crappy games. And they're playing them while they're
watching TV or something else is on. And that's why it's picking
stuff up. It's picking it up from the TV and Okay, well,
let's just let's assume it works. Okay. I'm doing because I
have another argument. Okay. We'll go past that. And we'll go
to the gate. Okay, so you're playing Candy Crush on your
phone, it's got the mic on it's got whatever it says listening
to that. And there's a TV on and because I watched television
with the kids and they watched a little bit of NCIS and then they
go on to compete on their little phones and that's the end of it.
They don't care. So you're watching you're playing the game
the TV is so inconsequential that it's going to pick up with
the TV's doing and then try to sell you that stuff you're not
interested or you wouldn't be on the phone in the first place
playing the game
you know very little about advertising there's so much that
works subliminally and if and people you hear this you're
hearing it and and certainly from the advertiser notes I've
I've run big advertising companies.
Oh, okay. Okay. Then I defer I will say no more I if
you just let me finish on the micro micro aggressions are huge
today. They're the macro
micro aggressions. Just go finish your story. This is what
you've fending The this is what you can share as far as I'm
concerned and
go on fine, but but I'm not condescending, like an ass like
you. Are you being condescending? There's no reason
to do that. I have a different opinion, different experience.
Now you're okay, well, we're not even gonna make it to show 1000
anymore. Listen to me. Listen, you can sell to an advertiser
this, you can sell this to them, they will love it. Whether it's
really effective is secondary.
Well, that's all I'm concerned about. Now I you can say your
right you can sell all kinds of crap to advertisers, including
internet advertising, which is the main thing you complain
about? Yes. every chance you get and
yes, we have no disagreement about that. I'm just saying it's
happening.
You know, I had this thing this thing happened in the magazine
business where they advertisers really went toward media buyers.
They'd hire these women right out of college. And there were
media buyers. Yes. And they would just they would work for
the big ad agencies and they were determined they should put
their ads in PC Magazine or Forbes, or various, whatever
magazine, they felt like and so I was on the Forbes yacht, and
one of these trips where they could jold these buyers, they're
all kids, for as I was concerned, just not a college,
usually at an Ivy League schools, and mostly women, it's
only
gotten worse. It's now just plain, moronic millennials who
don't care. This was the precursor. This
was the precursor. And they were they didn't care either. And
there were probably the millennials, but the older
group, and they're all mostly almost all women and you sit
down with them, because a lot of them are attractive. You want to
sit down and chat, find out what's going on. Say hello. And
they all knew nothing. They know nothing about anything. Nothing
about nothing about nothing about nothing. And so it was
like Holy mackerel, this is terrible. Yeah. And it just
deteriorated from there as far as I was concerned. Although,
you know, I tried. Okay, so
imagine, Hey, Boss, boss, Omnicom they just had this cool
system, we get into game and then the she has a song and then
the hits the commercial, and then they put that and brighten
the face back for you, boss. Why should we buy that? And the boss
goes, What do you think is a good? Yes. Cool. Done.
Let's because they apparently have money to burn by ripping
off their own customers. Yes.
So back to the original topic, the listening talking tubes.
People should start telling Amazon and Google and Apple or
Amazon in particular. Like, yeah, you should give me this
box and pay me a couple 100 bucks a month to have it in my
home. They will do that. It's worth it to them.
Well, I put a box in my home if I get a check for 200 bucks
every month.
That's, that's your price of freedom and free. 200 bucks a
month. That's all a good, good. This should just give everybody
200 bucks a month and then hang the mics up. Yeah, put a little,
you know, like a Heil.
Heil. If you still want it. If you're still concerned, I would
do the following. Get you 200 bucks a month, take as little
small portable radio and just turn it on and leave it right
next to this thing all the time. And just do whatever you want to
do. You don't have to sit there and tell your secrets.
Collect the checks. Yeah. It's common. Called faxing
it in.
It's coming. It's fun. All right. Oh,
shoot. Let's get back to the Real News. Yes,
we can do that.
How about a little comment lodge
of the media's reaction to the Trump North Korea button tweet.
I would love it. Well, it just so happens. I have a good 116
tweets today to start the new year, some of them deeply
disturbed. But these are the messages from a party leader who
is not fit for offense. This
is language that would have been rejected from the scripted Dr.
Strangelove. We can't begin to normalize this. This is
dangerous. This is childish. This is unpresidential, it's not
fitting the leader of the free world, none of
this normal, none of this acceptable. None of this
frankly, stable behavior. This is so far outside the principles
and and and the norms of presidential behavior, that we
are in an outerspace realm here. This is what happens in
authoritarian countries companies to be medicated and
hospitalized. Oh, he's going to just kill all of us. He's not
merely being
Cavalier with a threat about nuclear war. He's being Cavalier
in a way that makes him seem demented and deranged. Perhaps
Never
have we seen a man whose profound sexual and masculine
insecurities are literally threatening to annihilate the
planet
literally, literally threatening to annihilate the planet
actually got one that guy. Let me see where is he? That's our
nones. giridharadas. Are you familiar with this guy? No. He's
a dark skinned guy with like, silver silver hair. It's very,
very odd to look at. Here's the full statement from him. The
interesting a Yeah, well, he's, he's Indian or Pakistani, not
sure from origin, but his hair is like is
an odd color. Interesting thought from Donald Trump about
the size of his nuclear button and the range just put up
against the North Korean leader your thoughts?
As we saw all through 2017, men with profound sexual insecurity
can wreak a lot of havoc in the lives of women in the lives of
their families. But perhaps never have we seen a man whose
profound sexual and masculine insecurities are literally
threatening to annihilate the planet. I mean, the way he's
literally capitalizing in that tweet, really literally button.
I mean, any psychiatrist or psychologist would have a field
day with that. But we all live in a world that could literally
be ended, literally in terms of a habitable planet, because of
the sad man's insecurity.
And that's just another chink in the in the Hitler puzzle,
another piece, you know, because he had a frustrating childhood,
he had a mother complex, you know, I had issues with his
sexuality. Of course, it was combat,
I think you should examine the geisha prior to looking at his
wife and then take a look at Trump's three wives. But he
thinks, I don't want to get into that. No. I heard one of the
guys go on about this is the most unbelievable unpresidential
thing that anyone could ever do. It's never there's no history
for it. No, no, no, presidents have no precedents whatsoever.
So I do have the Reagan bombing joke from 1984. The one heard
around the world. No, no, no, no, no. The Reagan bombing joke.
1984.
American, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed
legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing
in five minutes.
Yes, I remember that.
Now, it seems very similar.
Just at the time, I remember the response vaguely because I was
quite young. What was the country's response to this joke?
Well, the here's the thing that gets I do have the news story
that ran because of this joke. And that's the Deray to joke
around the world. And I want to set this up a little bit because
this was the the news media, not only kind they ran a story as a
straight news story about what happened with Russia. But the
difference in attitude was Reagan II and even though he was
a Republican, the news media sided with him were that were
the kind of a slam against the opponent in ways on like we've
ever heard since this guy got in office, because this is almost
like a conspiracy compared to the way it was there. Listen to
the way they presented the story.
I've signed legislation, outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing
in five minutes.
It was the joke heard around the world, the one by President
Reagan about bombing the Soviet Union and it resulted in a
Soviet Red Alert and it became a campaign issue in this country.
Now Marvin Calvin's learn that the Soviets responded in their
own fashion.
The President was joking his way through an audio check on August
11.
I've shined legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We
begin bombing in five minutes.
By August 14, the story became world news, a major item on
Moscow television where the joke was not treated as a laughing
matter. August 15, a coded message left Soviet military
headquarters in Vladivostok. It said in part, we now embark on
military action against the US forces. The code was instantly
broken by US and Japanese intelligence. This is what then
happened. A special command unit in US cities went on wartime
alert. Key Japanese military units raised their readiness
status. Soviet naval vessels in the North Pacific baffled by the
order check with one of our stock confusion, US intelligence
urgently canvass for signs of an imminent Soviet attack found
none.
There was what they described as a wayward operator in the Soviet
Far Eastern command who sent out a message alerting Soviet forces
in that area that a state of war existed between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
Within 30 minutes the mystery of Soviet alert was cancelled, or
was it unusual? Not according to US officials.
They said it particularly happens on weekends when
discipline is a little less than it might be on weekdays.
But August 15 was a weak day. One senator said the alert must
have been a joke. A congressman said it was Russia's way of
answering the president. Most officials said no comment. The
one did speculate that the Russian might have been drunk.
Marvin tells NBC News the State Department
Yeah, that's good that what a beautiful to hear an old news
report like that. I like it. The authority in the voice is quite
amazing.
Yeah, and they've been a backup the president more or less to
say that guy's drunk the other guy, they're Russian. And
there's nothing like the way that this clip blitz that you
played of all these little hating the Eating on Trump's
stuff. It's just there's no comparison. Because the whole
system is, is been corrupted somehow by the I'm not come to
pantsuit Brigade. These are the pro Hillary people. And the
reason I bring that up is because Mimi's done here and
she's talking about what's going on in Port Angeles politics must
be some new woman who is part of the pantsuit brigade that says
she puts it has gotten to be vice mayor. Nobody knows who
this person is. But it's the Hillary supporters that somehow
got her in as Vice Mayor of the little town. And I and she's
telling me the story. I'm thinking, this is exactly what's
going on. And everything that is leading up to Hillary running
again, in 2020. Because she still thinks she can beat this
guy cuz she beat him by the popular vote.
Do you think she's still she's still going to try? She's still
she hasn't seen it?
I think it's a whole nationwide movement, and she is going to
get beaten again. Probably worse. Because she's so old.
She's gonna get and the Democrats are freaked out. Yeah,
they
don't want her anywhere near the party anymore.
They're freaked out. And this all this that you're playing and
then I'm playing is all telling me the same story. Is that? Is
that there? The media is all in for Hillary. Everybody's wants
Hillary they wanted to run again, because I didn't she
lose. You know,
we've we have examined the Goldwater rule in Trump
rotation. Now, of course, we're back to He's insane. He's
unhinged. He's crazy. He has his finger on the button. He pretty
much poke the bear with that tweet. But for the first time, I
heard a serious, although ludicrous, a serious argument
for the President's mental condition. And it comes from a
book and a concept. So we have the Goldwater rule. This is when
Barry Goldwater, that was being pronounced insane by
psychologists in the media back in the day when he was running,
and he sued them for defamation of character, and I presume he
won or whatever it is psychologists and psychiatrists
adopted the Goldwater rule as to you just don't talk about
people's psyche on television. If you
don't have them in the examination room, you
haven't examined them. Exactly. So on Democracy Now, there was a
very interesting report. And let me see what is this woman's
name? Her name is? I think it's mentioned in this report, Judy
mentions it. The duty to warn is the concept that is now being
brought forward. That seems to be part of the Hippocratic oath
for the first psychologist is you have a duty to warn. Yeah,
and I think it refers to like if someone is planning to shoot up
a place. Now, if you had a Dylann Roof for one of these
guys, you have a duty to warn the officials. And they've
written a book about it, too. We end
today's Democracy Now special by looking at President Trump's
mental health and a growing movement among mental health
professionals called duty to warn. Last month President Trump
slurred his speech and mispronounced his words during
an address on Israel. White House press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders responded to questions about Trump's slurred
speech by announcing he'd scheduled a physical health
exam. Meanwhile, New York Times chief White House reporter
Maggie Haberman commented on Trump's behavior when she was
interviewed on CNN last month
is something is unleashed with him lately. I don't know what is
causing it. I don't know how to describe
it. It Oh, you see a different you see a difference in the past
what days we
I think the last couple of days tweets have been.
unhinge markedly
accelerated in terms of seeming a little unmoored.
This all comes as Pentagon leaders told the Senate panel
they would ignore any unlawful order by the President to launch
a nuclear strike. The Testimony came as part of the first
congressional hearings and more than 40 years on the President's
authority to start a nuclear war. Dr. Bandy Lee is a forensic
psychiatrist on the faculty of Yale School of Medicine and a
Yalie that says a lot internationally recognized
expert on violence. She edited the book The dangerous case of
Donald Trump 27 psychiatrists and mental health experts assess
a president the book became a best seller when it was
published in October I began simply
we didn't hear about this book I have I've seen no promotion
now you know hanging out enough on left wing media and by ask no
I haven't seen any promotion I haven't seen these people
floating around. I've done Democracy Now. Which is fringe
Yeah, but it's damn good.
Let's continue for what 27
Good. Yeah, yeah, forgetting but they have a lot of good fringe
stuff. Yeah.
This is not this is not fringe. This is a best selling book,
mental health experts assess a precedent. The book became a
best Celer when it was published in October, I began by asking
her about her concerns about President Trump's mental health.
It's actually historically unprecedented that so many
mental health professionals have come forth with their concerns.
Something about the the mental health field doesn't
under any president of any party. So it really is the first
time that this many mental health professionals are coming
together in a coalition. We even have a second
I'm reminded of the 97% of all scientists coming together in a
coalition. And and that being talked about to an extreme Well,
the 30,000 scientists who signed that that letter denying this
whole global warming thing are obviously was pushed,
marginalized, marginalized. And I wonder if somebody could put
together a similar group of professionals that would have
the opposite opinion
to be marginalized, to be by, hey, guys want to be
marginalized? Come over here, sign this document,
under any president of any party, so it really is the first
time that this many mental health professionals are coming
together in a coalition. We even have a website now dangerous
case.org where the public and not and lawmakers can discourse
with us
with as Wow, hey, want a discourse with me, baby? I
remember when I was a kid, we thought it was really funny. And
we said yes, I want to have verbal intercourse with you.org.
Where the public and not and lawmakers can discourse with us.
There are 1000s of us as point
lay out what your concerns are as a psychiatrist. So
our concerns are that someone with this level of mental
instability and impairment has this much power in the office of
the presidency basically the power to start a devastating war
to launch nuclear missiles without any inhibition. You saw
from the hearings that there is very little inhibition in place
right now within five minutes of the Commander in Chief's orders.
nuclear missiles could be launched without question and
how
does that relate to his mental fitness leading the witness,
and of course his decision making capacity. Having such
levels of impulsivity, having a loose grip on reality, and being
so fragile in his ability to cope with ordinary stresses such
as basic criticisms or unflattering news will tend to
unravel especially in times of heightened stress, such as under
the special counsels investigations. What is most
concerning for us
like Judy? But I like Amy, Amy, I'm sorry, I like how she she
adds the the investigation is adding so much stress, she has
no idea how much stress or not
will tend to unravel, especially in times of heightened stress,
such as under the special counsels investigations. What is
most concerning for us is that his way of coping with this
critical sense of need at every moment, so much to the point
where he cannot think of the past or the future or
consequences. His main urgency is to quench the need at the
moment. And the way he does this is by burnishing his power by
going to belligerent language or, or affirming conflicts and
others sense of the world is a threatening place where you have
to be violent.
So I've been in therapy a while I'd like therapy, but she said
nothing of that has anything to do with his issue. So the Oh,
she would say Well, it seems like he has a mother issue a
father issue an authority issue.
She says nothing, none of that.
She's only just he's just unhinged. She's unhinged, I tell
you
now. This again, I think I don't know if I'm gonna stay with this
theme forever. But this is again, the pantsuit brigade
thing. I'm thinking the reason that we didn't hear of this book
or why this book didn't get more player with are the author's
weren't floating around and besides the fact that she sounds
pretty dull, is they key they did the scheme in place which
I'm just gripes since the beginning, the scheme in places
never is not to get rid of Trump or to really get him out of the
office, which is what something like this is trying to do is to
keep him in the news at a high pitch level where you're going
through the Trump rotation. You calling him on his one minute
and there's unfit for office, the next incompetent, we
everything. The liar, womanizer hates women. And because you
want to get the base, the Democrat base to come out and
vote in 2018. If Trump is out, that's no good. That ain't gonna
happen.
Yeah, but they also know that this is the media's got to do
something. They're complicit for sure. Well, they're
totally complicit. But, but this particular book was
marginalized. Actually, not the if we talk about the other one
that didn't, doesn't exist, but this book has been marginalized
and at best salary doesn't even mean anything anymore. You know,
best sellers are kind of a statistical thing. It could be a
best seller, you said something very profess sellers
are a statistical thing. Yes, they way they determine the best
seller is kind of like more momentum than actual total
sales. Oh, depends on who is and it depends on whose list you're
talking about. The best? Like,
I agree with the list. Yes. Could be you know, it's like
I'm, I'm a Marconi award winner, you know, but I just leave it at
that. It sounds like a big deal. When you say in Holland like,
Oh, okay.
Yeah, right. It drops it. Oh,
fine. All right, good. But I did not know that books were not
counted just pure by sales. As far
as I know, it's done on a kind of a statistical basis in terms
of like momentum of the book. Don't even they can't do total
sales, because they don't have those numbers anymore. Amazon
Amazon
has the numbers. Yeah, you're right. I remember talking about
that.
And so they, you know, you know, so you have a number of
booksellers that come in with their numbers and they're all
tipped, typically that kind of their slanted, you know, that
you're not they're not going to Christian bookstores and asking
whether they didn't get any hot sellers there. And they don't
necessarily go to the publishers and the publishers will just
push certain books anyway. It's very sketchy. Very, I mean,
there's, I'm sure I can get an argument from somebody Well,
I'm just looking at the Amazons the dangerous case of Donald
Trump 27 psychiatrists and mental health experts. SS a
president. Number one best seller in health mind and body.
Yeah, that's where it is. Yeah, got it. Okay. So it wasn't
desperately you know, you say Jesus is a best seller. We never
heard of it. That's why because it wasn't a best seller was just
a book of carping string so hate Trump. And it's but again, I
still see this as especially with that woman the way she
sounds. She seems like a pantsuit, brigade type and who
she I bet you if you get asked her she'd vote for Hillary and
2020 She'd say yes.
Yeah. This is a big deal.
Yeah, the pantsuit brigade, you mean?
Yeah. And Hillary running?
I mean, it's, it's actually pantsuit nation is the Facebook
group. I think that's where it comes from.
pantsuit nation, you will use that
pantsuit nation and I'm a member of the group
Yeah, I know you are Yeah, yeah, it's hard I'm still questioning
this by the way, but the question is What motives do your
motives
why why why I mean, this is why this is completely not
unnecessary uncalled for
Yeah, you're right I'm it's cloudy out it's just rain. Okay,
well with that. I would like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to you John C where the C stands for the

California. 2017 was another great year from you guys, even

That concludes our list of Executive Associate Executive
producers for show 996
Actually we have had an in hand donation
in hand in hand Yeah. us.
Let me see if I can find it. Yes, I had the anonymous CPA. I
had lunch with the anonymous CPA in Austin, who was from
California. And he dropped by and handed us a check for
$3,333.33.
How about that? Well, he goes right to the top,
he goes right to the top. And Tay wants to be he's an instant
Baron. He's an instant bear, and he will be known as the Baron.
Sir anonymous CPA. And he said, The reason for this donation
amount he says, I've been listening since show number one
wishes. That's, that's what I said. said that. No wonder
you're kind of going bald. Sorry. Sorry. Exactly. And he
has he actually played the wrong clips. I play one of his clips.
He said the, you know, he had gotten his, he does, like,
accounting stuff for actual billionaires, people who have,
you know, pay like 50 million a year in taxes. The very
interesting, first of all, he brought little pieces of paper.
And he showed me exactly how someone making, you know, making
enough money to be paying between 10 and $50 million a
year, you're probably on the shy side of being a billionaire. But
you're definitely up there. He says every single case. They're
all paying more taxes. And in most cases, it's probably about
one from the new
tax bill. Yeah, the new 10 new tax bill. Yeah, the new tax bill
is supposed to be benefiting the rich bullshit.
And he said, this is one of the reasons why I love no agenda so
much. He seems like because now that I see again, that the media
is so dishonest about this, and not just the media, but the
entire political apparatchik is dishonest about it. So here's
something I actually know about, you know, like, Adam, when you
talk about aviation, you actually know about aviation. So
yeah, so I just consider everything to be bull crap. And
the no agenda show. He says, I think this amount is pretty much
what it costs for a master class in in college. And that's how we
came up with the numbers. It's about it's about 3500 bucks,
probably. So he considers our show to be a masterclass
in meeting is saying the media is full of crap. Yeah. Realize
Yes.
Yes. So he wants to be known as the anonymous CPA. It will be he
will be apparent yet, just as
an aside, not knowing I didn't wasn't at the conversation, but
it seems to me why, yeah, their tax bracket went down a couple
points. But they get a lot of benefits from all the properties
they own and all the real estate taxes that they that they now
can't don't get the pay and all which is a lot. And so they take
a beating on that and they take a beating on sales tax, and they
take a beating on all kinds of things. Now, although they get
the media then five Amazon's going on about this two point
dip in their overall tax rate. But it's just nonsense. I mean,
and they just do it and incessantly. It's like that
crazy group of clips you played earlier, but Trump be unhinge.
He's crazy. He has a small penis. And so he is our go to
guy now for stuff like this, which is great. Yeah, that's
really really good. He's and he really does the the legal side
of it all the unnayan He knows the laws inside out. So he's a
great addition to the no agenda family. Of course, he's been
here since episode one. And I look forward to inducting him to
the roundtable of the no agenda Knights and Dames and handing
him his barren sash. Later on. And he sent me a message here.
Jingles I'd like to be deduced followed by Can you see that
juice then Pelosi jobs, jobs, jobs, Trump jobs, jobs jobs then

be thinking more people $50 And up and another show coming up on
Sunday. Please remember us for that show at full
rack.org/and A and you'll
learn so much please take the knowledge go out there and
propagate the formula. Our formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
there's my wolf home, shut up slave. By the way, I have a shut
up slave. little segment little little tidbit here. I got a note
from one of our producers. I'll just call them AC for now. They
said sorry. Yeah, coincidental, since my son's birthday is 999.
And I was fired from a shitty startup for going to the
hospital for his birth instead of working my 120 hours a week.
And I am soon to find myself bouncing out of another one for
not being quote a good fit for the company culture. Sounds like
a no agenda guy to me, by the way. Yeah, patently on hireable
good man, I present you with some exclusive gifts in lieu of
being unable to be deduced for that episode. After you
mentioned your love for the show black mirror which I just arose
from a single night dose of watching the whole effing
season. Here's some screenshots from the new behavior scoring
app, my current day job is going to be using to replace
performance evaluations. It is literally a copy of Tinder,
where you swipe left and right as people who you work with
appear on your app. And after a little bit of time it generates
a behavior score which can be used to fire your ass in the
morning the future is closer than we think. You've got to see
this. It's the our our habit app RH a bitapp.com.
And you'll be able to look it up now. Yeah, you
might as well I mean, he sent me some screenshots which I'm going
to put in the show notes which will be 996 dot no agenda
Arcot or just our habit, our habit app.com
And so I see here on the app, I see a junior software engineer,
and there's already a comment when others talk to Joey key
pays attention and does not do other things on the side he
listens generously. And then you have all these different
ratings. I mean, this is exactly what black mirror was just for
the workplace and it's disturbing got
our habit hat app.com Nothing RH a BB it app a PP.
One BYRHABIT a PP. Oh,
what am I thinking? I don't know what you're thinking. I'm
thinking rabbit it's like it's it sounds like a rabbit thing.
Yeah.
So performance management will never be the same
perhaps like stack ranking in a different form
but the way it is so you're you're near your your colleague,
saying like, you know, I'm going to do a calm I'm going to put a
little thing in the app about him. He listens. Well, he's good
swipe right. This is this is like secret police time.
Oh, yeah. This is all been secret police. That's what the
dough stack ranking is.
This is codifying it in a very
in a lame kind of joy. You're right. The Tinder.
Tinder. Tinder
is Tinder.
And Grindr is funnier. It makes more sense. By what we do. Team
rabbit
is a mobile first performance management experience that makes
the annual review obsolete.
Oh ha This thing's Great.
Brother Yeah. Professor 10
This is definitely classic. Only I know agenda.
Have you been following the oh the self serve ra law in Oregon.
Know that with a changing it again?
Well, I don't know what changed other than as of January 1. Now
you can have self serve gas stations and the Oregonians are
losing their crap over it on the face bag. But I can
see that because you know it's a tradition in Oregon to to hire
two or three people that work at a gas station now they want to
be I have to hire him anymore
and if people are afraid have you know like, you know that
other people don't know how to pump gas and they'll blow the
place up? Yeah, yeah, seriously. And, and you're like, I'm not
gonna leave my child in the car while I'm pumping gas. I could
get my kid get kidnapped.
Yeah, because of all these fabulous Oregonian experts who
are who've got degrees in pumping gas.
Well, we just took away those jobs.
Well, more people have bitched about the thing because you
can't even get out of your car. And you know, they pump the gas
and then you don't know if it's an art. It's archaic in the
first place that they have these people. I mean, when I was a
kid, yeah, they come out and pump your gas. They'd open the
hood, they check your oil, they'd wash your windows, they
give you a free map. And this was when gasoline was 25 cents a
gallon. Good times. And they check your tire pressure. They
put air in the tires, they did all these things. Yes.
Yes. All good. messed it all up?
Well, they just cheeping down on the whole thing. And there you
go. Margin squeeze. Margin. Okay. So anyway, the one of the
things that happened, just like yesterday or the day before, is
this book X excerpts from the new Michael Wolfe book?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I have a bunch of clips about this.
Good. I read the excerpt in New York Magazine. And I want to
point out first and foremostly that Bannon did not say, Donald
Trump Jr. is acted, but committed an act of treason.
Which is the way the headline is reading. He said, whether you
think it's treasonous or just bad or you know, not kosher,
like three things like that. The the he should have called the
FBI. He didn't say it was treasonous, which is just
something I need to point out.
Well, everybody says he did.
Of course, of course.
He's also going to be squashed like in a crack like an egg on
tray. Like in
a just going back to my theory about Jared. It seems to me
that, like, why is this happening? Why is this taking
place
that you might this is your thesis, I want to point out to
everybody, and you sticking with it? I like the thesis, I just
haven't jumped on it. No,
it's it appears to get rid of them. Well, that that no,
they're gonna make Trump Jr. The Fall Guy for it. Instead of
getting rid of Kushner? Of course, there's the prob Oh, I
see. I'm sorry. I was misunderstanding where you're
headed. Yeah, that's a good idea. I think that's a good
theory.
Kushner is the problem. And I think if Trump had to choose,
I'm just guessing. I think he probably would hate to have to
disappoint Ivanka. So and Jared Kushner is the problem. He is
the bad actor in all this. He is I think he's the money
launderer. He's got all kinds of problems with his real estate
holdings in New York. The Chinese own his ass.
Yeah. And his father was corrupt. It was went to jail.
But the jail Yeah.
Fallen. It's the animal doesn't change his stripes. So anyway,
so that's what it feels like to me like this. Okay. And, of
course, the president can pardon, Jr. So he's not going to
go to jail. But then someone will take the fall it all it
ends, Jared is protected. Which is Yeah. Yeah. Don Jr.
Yeah. Well, this book, Michael Wolf is a hack. You know, he's
pretty thorough. He's not a complete hack. And he knows how
to write a book that sells. And he did. The thing that surprises
me is before I play any of these clips, is that wolf, I had done
a book on the Murdock's.
Right? That was his other claim to fame. That was his first one,
I think.
No, I think he's done it. Well, look him up. Well, I'm saying
this to see how many books he's done. I think he's in quite a
few. And he is Murdock book. He was good buddies with all the
Murdochs and then after the book came out, he was they hated him.
Good. I heard him talking about this on a discussion show.
You'll be you'll be surprised by the books, his first book and 79
white kids. Then in 92, where we stand can America make it in the
global race for wealth, health and happiness than this 198 burn
rate how I survived the Gold Rush is on the internet that one
I've read. Then autumn of the moguls my misadventures with the
Titans posers and money guys who mastered and messed up big media
never heard of it. Then the man who owns the news inside the
secret world of Rupert Murdoch, that was 2008 and then
television in the new television, the unexpected
triumph of old media and the digital age, never heard of that
one. And then fire and fury so he is most most well known for
the man who owns the news and burn right and burn. Right? I
think Did they also turn that into a movie?
Maybe? Well, he
he, after he did the Murdoch book, which was a while ago, a
few years ago. It makes no sense to me that he was ever invited
in to do to do anything in the White House. Because Murdoch's
close enough to Trump sure to have ABS quash the idea. Are you
jet or Trump to you? This is a if there's anybody has a
stumbling mumble and stammer if there's a problem with Trump, I
think is unlike Bush, he's not a reader. Right. So he probably
never read the Murdoch book.
Unless it was on George Bush used to read a book
a week. I don't know that Trump's ever read a book. And
he's hyperkinetic, so I don't see he hasn't had the patience
for I don't think
I think that might be true. I think he'd rather have a
briefing that right. But if he knew anything about this Murdoch
book, he wouldn't have let wolf do anything because he knew it's
gonna be a slam piece. But it is a hit piece. Apparently
wolf was given free rein of the West Wing and you just walk
around and talk to everybody and everyone was happy to just
that. This was because of Bannon Banyan Banyan via Banyan invited
him in and give them the red carpet treatment. Anyway, let's
play this couple these clips. Here's the main the clip one,
this is Banyan kerfluffle on CBS.
Political breakups go this is about as ugly as it gets the
president splitting with Steve Bannon, one of his closest
political allies, claiming Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me
or my presidency. When he was fired. He not only lost his job,
he lost his mind. Until now Bannon had continued to be a
vocal supporter of the Trump agenda following his White House
exit this summer. But in a series of interviews with author
Michael Wolff, including summit the white house band and mocked
the President and his family and accused Donald Trump Jr. of
treason for his June 2016 meeting with Russians who had
offered incriminating information on Hillary Clinton.
Bannon said quote, even if you thought that this was not
treasonous, or unpatriotic, and I happen to think it's all of
that you should have called the FBI immediately. He then
speculated that Trump Jr had also involved his father in the
meeting, a claim that White House press secretary Sarah
Sanders denied I think, furious disgusted would probably
certainly fit when you make such outrageous claims and completely
false claims against the president. His administration
and his family. Sanders pointed out that Bannon contradicted his
characterization of the Russia probe to 60 minutes in
September.
There's nothing to the Russia investigation. It's a waste of
time.
According to the book. Now Bannon says he believes the
investigation will focus on money laundering, and Trump Jr.
will quote crack like an egg under scrutiny from the Special
Counsel. Bannon was campaign CEO and chief strategist in the West
Wing opposition, the White House called equivalent to the Chief
of Staff, like Mr. Bannon, he's a friend of mine. Today Mr.
Trump blasted Bannon saying he had very little to do with our
historic victory. Steve Bannon doesn't represent my base. He's
only in it for himself.
I find this to be the political breakup story of the century a
lot of people are calling you that. Yeah. And I just think
you're dead.
Right? Just think about their makeup sex is going to be great.
Although he which is probably you're probably right there to
this whole thing could be something of a fake but did you
notice the whipsaw in there? No, it's a minor one, but it's a
good one. But CBS style they're not they're not as good at is
NBC but Bannon kerfluffle ISOs.
Okay, kerfuffle. ISOs. Yeah.
Opposition, the White House called equivalent to the Chief
of Staff.
Like Mr. Ban.
He's a friend of mine. Yeah.
Yeah. Yes.
Yeah. What's that clip got to do with anything.
That's just throwing it in there just to spice it up, yet spicing
up nothing. So let's go to part two of this. There's only a
little piece. As for
election night, the book's author reports that the Trump
team actually expected defeat, and as election results rolled
in showing Trump on the path to victory. Don Jr. told a friend
quote, he looked as if he had seen a ghost the White House
called this trashy tabloid fiction Jeff
So that's kind of interesting. Now there's there was CNBC did a
rundown right in the middle of their stock analysis on Fast
Money and or whatever one of them and I can play it. It's two
minutes. It's very similar.
I'm interested in Okay,
I think you have to call There's a Trump camp civil war that
exploded today here in Washington DC with the release
of excerpts from Michael Wolf's new book on the first days of
the Trump White House here in Washington DC some dramatic
scenes as recounted by Wolf denied by some but nonetheless
causing a political firestorm. Here in Washington DC we saw the
President issue, a statement the likes of which few have ever
seen. Here's an excerpt from what the president had to say
about Steve Bannon, who was quoted extensively in the book,
the President said he spent his time at the White House leaking
false information to the media to make himself seem far more
important than he was. It is the only thing he does well, Steve
was rarely in a one on one meeting with me and only
pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no
access and no clue whom he helped write phony books. We
also saw the press briefing with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the
press secretary here, she was asked whether or not the
American people should be concerned about the mental
fitness of the President of the United States. And here's how
she responded,
I think the President in the people of this country should be
concerned about the mental fitness of the leader of North
Korea. He's made repeated threats. He's tested missiles,
time and time again for years. And this is a president who's
not going to cower down and he's not going to be weak and is
going to make sure that he does what he's promised to do and
that stand up and protect the American people and
all of this coming on a day after the president gathered the
world's attention with a tweet about North Korea itself saying
this in a missive last night, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
just stated that the nuclear button on his desk is that is on
his desk at all times. Will someone from his depleted and
food starved regime, please inform him that I too have a
nuclear button but it is much bigger and more powerful one
than his and my button works. A lot of critics on that tweet
saying that the President is engaging in unnecessary and
childish nuclear brinksmanship with the leader of North Korea,
the President's defenders in the wake of that Melissa said no,
he's simply standing up to the leader of North Korea and the
previous approach of more docile statements by presidents. But to
put it that way, hasn't worked. That's what Sarah Huckabee
Sanders said here at the White House today, the President
simply standing up for America with a tweet like that.
Yeah, I think my theory fits very well with this. You know,
for this sudden breakup, he's lost his mind. You know, and
this is not a banyan book. You know, this is him being
interviewed and quoting in the book. And it just seems so
obvious, like, you know, and it calls out Trump Jr. Specifically
when a crack him like an egg, because he's got to take, he's
got to take the fall, someone has to take the fall. And
Mueller's got to have somebody and it's not going to be Jared
because that would upset Ivanka it's that pathetic. I think the
fire you're fired guy. I don't think he can do it. I don't
think he could. He needed a catalyst and he got it from
this.
I'm not gonna argue with you on this one. Because the logic is
it's good. fits. It fits your needs. I'm no I'm not. I'm not
eating anything. I'm no, no. I am opening up the bag of
lozenges. Oh, and it will be sucking on one of the second. So
I don't have this annoying cough.
Yeah, your cough always stays with you for a long time. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So let's go to I only have one clip left. I
think and that is the one that is the tidbits I got from NBC.
And they had some reporter with it. got kind of a puke in your
term of puker style. Reporter All right. Joining this is Wait,
I just want to set this up. This is only the very end of his
report because he he added a number of tidbits, and one of
them is so blatantly bullcrap that I want to discuss it and
see if you feel the same way.
Fire and fury reportedly based on more than 200 interviews many
conducted inside the West Wing also reignites questions about
Mr. Trump's view of women reportedly calling aide Hope
Hicks a piece of tail in front of her and using a vulgar
expletive to describe Sally Yates, the acting Attorney
General who he would go on to fire as for his inauguration
day, the soon to be president author Michael Wolff writes was
angry, feeling slighted by the Obamas and celebrities who
refused to perform for him bearing the brunt. Melania
Trump, who according to the book seemed on the verge of tears,
the First Lady's office dismissing it all as fiction,
Wolf claims first daughter Ivanka and husband, Jared
Kushner, have entertained their own political future. Agreeing
she'd be the one to run for president. The author also
airing dirty laundry about the President's unusual habits and
demands at the White House, reprimanding the housekeeping
staff for picking up his shirt saying, If my shirts on the
floor, it's because I want it on the floor.
That's where I hang up all my clothes.
So that sounds like totally, I mean, here's a guy that's a
billionaire lives in this crazy, ridiculous. He has these
ridiculous homes that he lives in, in Manhattan and elsewhere.
And he's used to having a lot of slaves servants.
I would think, yeah, probably, I don't know.
And there's no way a guy like that, especially if he's that
sloppy to throw his shirt on the floor. That would tell that
person not to pick it up. Does this make any sense to you?
Know, we had the same kinds of rumors from the Clinton White
House from the Obama White House, you know, then it was
always dismissed as rumor and bullcrap. So let's do the same
now. Yeah, I
think it's still a rumor and bullcrap, because there's no way
a guy who is used to having housekeepers around all the
time, would reprimand one for picking up a shirt. He just
threw on the floor because he's a slob.
So is that a sloppy billionaire or slobby millionaire?
I think slobby and I would think, by the way, maybe the
real message here is that he's a slob just trying to get desert
maybe it's a new thing.
Rotation he's a slob. Yeah. Is a slob you
just leave stuff on the floor and like sit on the floor. He
likes it. He likes it that way. Yeah, this is bullcrap. This
total bullcrap.
Yeah. I agree. I agree. But there's a reason for it. And
we'll see if my theory holds, holds water. We'll see. We'll
see mostly. Meanwhile, Trump's other buddy Roger Stone. He must
be bummed out that he's not in these big important
conversations. Although, you know he has the cannabis
Coalition for the true legalization of marijuana. And
here's their latest commercial
in his historic victory in last year's election, Donald Trump
courageously pledged to protect the access of millions of
Americans to state legalized medical marijuana
for medical purposes. Absolutely. It's fine.
Now Attorney General Jeff Sessions is proposed to crack
down on state legalize medical marijuana in violation of the
President's pledge. Good people don't smoke marijuana. Join the
United States cannabis coalition urged President Trump to keep
his pledge. I think medical should happen. Right. Don't we
agree?
I mean, I think so. Yeah, but it's not. Well, it's not not
happening. Well.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has doubled down.
He hasn't done anything yet though.
They just talk to us talk and yeah, he's talking. He says what
he had so here we go. This is from a P. He has rescinded an
Obama era policy that paved the way for legalized marijuana to
flourish in states across the country creating new confusion
about enforcement and use just three days after a new
legalization law went into effect in California. President
Donald Trump's top law enforcement official announced
the change Thursday instead of the previous lenient federal
enforcement policy sessions new stance will instead lead federal
prosecutors where marijuana is legal decide how aggressively to
enforce long standing federal law prohibiting it, which is
more talk, I guess. Yeah. doesn't really mean anything
unless
he's actually trying to get fired. I, I've always had this
kind of subtle theory or secondary theory that Sessions
he's already got his retirement benefits from being a US
senator. Yeah. And they giving him this job that allows him to
double dip so he can get a retirement benefit from being
the Attorney General of the United States. Nice. So you
haven't made and I mean, he keeps doing stuff like this. He
must know Trump's attitude about it. And just because he doesn't
think people nice people don't smoke pot under any
circumstances. They should all be in jail. That's right. Like
asking for trouble
lock me up. It's very disappointing for trouble. It's
disappointing. I don't want it.
It's not disappointing if he is trying to get fired. Gotcha.
From his perspective,
yeah. Gotcha. Makes sense. Makes sense.
So notice I had something here I did have a you're saying so when
Trump I get the Trump went for it last Trump this was was
brought up early in the progression of of the when they
had the Kim Jong Un, my buttons bigger than yours. And then the
book which kind of overshadowed that. And early on there was
this but they've kind of dropped it from from discussion, but I
want to I want to bring it back in because on apparently Monday
or Tuesday is going to do the Trump awards.
President Trump also went after the media today, tweeting, I
will be announcing the most dishonest and corrupt media
awards of the year on Monday at five o'clock. Subjects will
cover dishonesty and bad reporting in various categories
from the fake news media.
Stay tuned. I mean, this is gotta be gotta be this will be
next week's news.
We'll hear Have celebrators who are coming on stage to present
these awards or is he just going to do him? He's going to do like
a PowerPoint James
Woods.
That's about it. And Mike Cernovich
Oh, yes. Cernovich James Wood and
what's the comedian with no show? Oh,
can't Miller Dennis Miller. Well, The
Dennis Miller to and then Tim the Tool Time guy. Who's that?
Right? Yeah, that guy. Yeah. Yeah. So that they could get
probably about 10 people that come on and give these awards.
Maybe a country guy at Taylor Swift.
She won't do it. But she would
be the right person. Alan, that's his name. Oh, yeah. Tim
Allen. Definitely. He should come out. Yeah. That would be
great.
Clint Eastwood, you get Clint. He'll he'll do something.
They come out with a chair. Yeah. Do the chair thing again.
Yeah. Yes, it would be very entertaining if they have
organized right. But you know, the funny thing is about Trump
even though he worked in that in that apprentice job and you
think you know a little bit more about show business? Or you have
some good producers, directors that can help? Well, may he may
never makes a good show of
anything. Maybe he'll surprise and delight us. I don't know. I
doubt it. And you're probably right, it's probably gonna be
lame.
It's gonna be lame, but it couldn't be great.
It'll be funny. It'll be funny for sure. little housekeeping.
We had a donation on the previous show. And although I
think we did know it, we could not figure out the acronym mg t
o w. I have a clip to explain it. So
that's where we're gonna go with it. This this symbol right here
stands for MIG tau. And all that 98% of my viewers watching this
have no idea what that means. But MIG tau stands for men going
their own way. And the official definition of MiG tau here I'll
just read it word for word here is men going their own way is a
statement of self ownership, where the modern man preserves
and protects his own sovereignty above all else. It is the
manifestation of one word, no injecting silly preconceptions
and cultural definitions of what a man is looking to no one else

rather He didn't
There you go MIG tau men going their own way.
So this was in one of your nations. Somebody said MIG tau
Yes, someone says something about MIG tau and we didn't know
what it was. And this is part of the red pill movement. Men going
well, the idea is that you also don't have to behave like a man
and this is this is a big thing that is I probably undervalued.
You know, man up be like a man, you know that those kinds of
terms. And there's a large group of men who don't want to have it
anymore. They don't want
to be they want to man up?
I guess not. I guess not.
Just like as mean that they're stronger than strong men? Are
they the guys, they're the men that
they're checking out the whole societal system or religious
checking out of where men belong and how men are supposed to
behave and they just don't want to do it anymore. They're tired
of it.
How is that different from a hermit?
Not much the guy that if you need the guy was recording it in
the woods. Near a waterfall. So yeah, maybe. Maybe that's what
it is. MiG tau equals hermit? I don't know. But yeah, I can see
some validity Validity to
Ted Kaczynski was MIG tau. Yeah, totally. Ooh, tau.
Book tau. Unify me
unit bombers go their own way. Okay. We also discuss the war on
gaming. And the war on gaming or gamers specifically, as we
deconstructed in the previous episode, we believe is cropping
up because the gamers and this goes back to GamerGate and the
social justice warriors. The gamers were also responsible for
Donald Trump. So we have to get rid of them. And just as an
extra bonus, you know, they're not watching television, they're
not getting our ads, so something needs to be done about
them. And there was a recent swatting episode. This has come
up for years now on the show where you it is done often with
gaming, but also in other instances I
have Did you have a clip because I have a clip?
Yeah, why don't we play your clip and I can go into my
package was swatting death. Yeah,
VI in San Francisco is now speaking out about a prank among
gamers known as swatting. One case recently turned deadly in
Kansas.
The idea is get the SWAT team out trick the SWAT team the
people who perpetrate this are looking for a tactical Spot.
Investigators believe 25 year old Tyler Barris called Wichita
police from Los Angeles. He told investigators he had his mom and
little brother at gunpoint when the SWAT team arrived the
victim. 28 year old Andrew Fitch opened the door and was shot to
death by officers. And the FBI says the crimes often involve
gamers who have their webcams rolling, which means that the
pranksters can then watch a live feed of the raids
that victim doesn't even realize that this is being done to them
and they want to record this live stream has SWAT is coming
into the house
they want to see armed officers they want to see a bomb dogs
helicopters that's all part of the fun they see in this and
that can be very, very devastating.
Yeah, that's a good background or it's similar to my setup I
thought it was when you hear the NPR version of the story and I
have three clips here three short clips. You can tell where
they're really going with this. They really want to get these
game get the gamers here's the NPR war on gaming setup. Well,
gamers are closely watching the case of Tyler Barris who was
arrested in Los Angeles in connection with the shooting
death of Andrew Finch in Wichita, Kansas. Let's back up
last week someone made a phone call to Wichita's 911 to falsely
report a shooting and hostage situation at a home there. It's
called swatting The hope is to Laura SWAT team to the address
given it's often used in online gaming to throw other gamers
off. Then someone with the handles SWAT autistic we're not
sure if it's Tyler Barris spoke on the YouTube channel Drama
Alert and took responsibility for making the call. But here's
what he said about the resulting shooting.
Yeah, the call was made by me but as far as the whole incident
you can point the finger at numerous people. You could point
the finger at the cop who killed someone you could point the
finger at the guy who made the call. You could point the finger
at the person who provided the address say oh look this is why
live go ahead and swap me
by that he might have meant another game or but not only did
the caller lower the SWAT team to Andrew Finch his home after
police shot and killed the 28 year old unarmed father because
they thought he was reaching for a gun. It was discovered that
the caller had sent them to the wrong address.
Now to me for NPR to put an unconfirmed YouTube statement on
the air. Even though they kind of were couchy about it. It's
like it's not very journalistic but they're out to get the
gamers and gamers are weird.
Well, according to other reporting a gamer told an
interviewer on YouTube that a feud had developed between two
gamers over $1.50 wager and an accidental a virtual killing
this is in the online game and that prompted this swatting
again. You know as bad as it is made worse by a wrong address.
And we're understanding that swatters can mask where they're
calling from and make it look like a local call. What are
gamers in Kansas saying?
I think this is really struck home for a lot of gamers you
hear about swatting happening to celebrities, you hear about
swatting happening to people who live stream for a living, but
you don't hear about swatting happening next door. So for
Kansas gamers in particular, I think it's really getting to
help them to realize just that it can happen to anybody and how
much you need to be careful with maintaining your offline
privacy. And gamers have also said they're closely following
what happens to Baris one told me just yesterday that if Baris
does get a misdemeanor or gets off three that he expects
swatting will increase. That's definitely something they fear
and swatting is certainly something not condoned by the
vast majority of gamers, some regarded as as a form of
cheating or foul play. So I think it's really really shaken
the gaming community in the area.
So they're crazy. They're just crazy that doing stuff for for
dollar 50 wagers, and we got to do something. So let's bring in
the big guns. Enter Katherine Clark, do you remember her?
Katherine Clark? Was she the lawyer and the Simpson case and
no,
that's Marcia Clark. Marcia
Clark.
She is representative from where she from? Democrat no doubt, let
me just check the book of knowledge for a moment. She is
what's her district that Connecticut New Haven
Connecticut Democrat. She was a big part of GamerGate as she
identifies Of course, as a social justice warrior, and she
was the one that you know, told South by Southwest to get rid of
your particular panels with certain people on it because
they're all a member of these horribly misogynistic gamers in
the game or in The whole GamerGate controversy. So we
bring her in and I think you'll be hearing a lot more from her.
I mean, that is That's horrific. Do you have any idea? I mean,
why does this happen? Why is it vengeance?
Why are people doing this to other people
if this came out of the online gaming world and was done so
that they could watch the police response as people are watching
each other play games online, and so they could watch a live
happen through Zach a game that's happening live Wow. But
now it's really being used in outside of the gaming world in a
in a more widespread way. And it is extremely dangerous not only
to the victims, as we've seen play out so sadly, in Wichita,
but also for police who are making an armed response and
don't know what they are going to find. Obviously, this is a
terrible situation for Andrew Finch, his family and for him,
but also for the officers involved to have looked like
they they made the best judgment they could, but an innocent man
and killed him.
So I'm pretty sure we're going to be hearing more from Miss
Clark and more about the gamers and I'm not quite sure what
they're going to do but it's going to be I think a
conversation equal to that of guns. Particularly for the 2018
election and the 2020 election we need to get these gamers out
of the picture or at least paint them as evil
I'm not going to argue this is the area yours make some sense I
think it's going to desperation because you got to go to these
poor bastards but
they also believe that you know $100,000 worth of Facebook ads
through the election so why not
you know that's there you go. Yeah, the $100,000 where the ads
I want to make some comments about this swatting incident.
Okay, which is first of all, why does Wichita Kansas have a
swatting up arrest SWAT operator SWAT team they have what's
called kind of terrorism goes on. What are we using SWAT teams
for nowadays? What that was terrorism is there in Wichita,
Kansas. Do you need a SWAT team? I'm sure they got all the gear
to all those crazy military things that the government is
given it all these little towns? Yeah. That's one thing. How do
you get to the local 911 number from from Los Angeles? That is
even possible. I mean, you could call the local police and just
claim that it's an emergency and call the wrong number. I know
how you can spoof the call so nobody can kind of figure out
where you're coming from. But I don't know how you get into that
system. From there. What about the cop just walks in and shoots
this guy? Well, this cop I don't care about this. Oh, it's so
dangerous because he was worried about his life. These guys are
covered with body armor. Yeah. It's not as though as the guys
naked walking in and saying hey, when you're under arrest, he's
covered with body armor
and the use of just kill your dog now they kill you.
They kill the dog too if they can. This is I think this is
bringing more issues than just the gamers and their issues and
this stupid swatting thing the fact that they're they can't
even get the address right they got the wrong address. They
don't do any due diligence. They just come barreling in because
somebody gave him an address is that how it works? Either the
cops that stupid
there are there are jumpy Yeah, they don't know what to expect.
I wasn't there it's hard to
buddy knock on the door say come out with your hands up like they
used to in the olden days. I
think the problem was he didn't put his hands up and then he put
his hand down to reach near his belt and they
repeatedly shoot him shoot him. Yeah. And as I've said before,
you have to shoot to kill now.
Now remember, remember the report was the guy's going to
kill his wife and himself so they were they were jumpy.
You're going under understand that
very detectives are just off.
Agreed. Agreed.
If you're that jumping, turn the job over to somebody else. This
guy shouldn't have been shot dead that's what I'm trying to
know. Okay, gotcha. But that's not the point of the story.
Ya know you got you that's why I wanted to wait for you to finish
Yeah, well that was that was wrapped up point in the story is
that this guy they're out to get the gamers that definitely out
to get the gamers which is going to be very funny because as you
know, half the country is a gamer nowadays. All professional
athletes are gamers. I mean, racecar drivers are gamers kids
are going Neighbors everybody's not I don't so much but
everybody I know is got some addiction to some game or other
they're playing.
They should take up knitting
one knitting a pantsuit, please It's not part of the pants, your
pants

There was an interesting report
that handled a topic we've talked about on the show called
Moral self moral licensing. And we talked about that. More self
licensing, sorry, moral self licensing. We talked about it in
the context of the ice bucket challenge. And the and this is
there's a lot of science behind the science, science, just
believe it you fools. There's a lot of research behind this.
That goes kind of like this. If you do something like changing
your avatar, your icon on Twitter or saying Trump is an
asshat, orange Wiener, then you feel so good about yourself that
you really are just turn into an asshole, then you don't do any
other good things for people or any good things for society in
general. The National Bureau of Economic Research,
did a study Excuse me.
Boy, between the two of us with the lozenges and the Tom's man
was an old old man podcast.
I think we'll get through it.
We're falling apart. This is working paper 24 169 Corporate
Social Responsibility. This was a big buzzword. All companies
especially Silicon Valley companies, I would wager have a
lot of CSR is as it's known, Corporate Social Responsibility
has become a cornerstone of modern business practice
developing from a why in the 1960s to a must today. Early
empirical evidence on both the demand and supply side has
largely confirmed CSR efficacy. This paper combines theory with
a large scale natural field experiment to connect CSR to an
important but often neglected behavior, employee misconduct
and shirking. shirking what's shirking?
Well, shirking technically means, you know, am I going to
do that I'll do it later. shirking your responsibility,
shirking. Let me just check shirking Well,
let's look it up maybe it means some specific to employment.
Avoid or neglect a duty or responsibility, be unwilling to
do something difficult evade, dodge, avoid sidestep, Shun,
Skip, miss, etc. Okay, I think you had a spot on there. So
because of corporate social responsibility, they can connect
that to an important but often neglected behavior, employee
misconduct and shirking. Through employing more than 3000
workers, we find that our usage of CSR increases employee
misbehavior. 20% more employees act detrimentally toward our
firm by shirking on their primary job duty when we
introduce CSR. Complementary treatments suggests that moral
licensing is at work in that the doing good nature of CSR induces
workers to misbehave on another dimension that hurts the firm,
in this way our data highlight a potential dark cloud of CSR and
serve to forewarn that such business practices should not be
blindly applied. I love stuff like this. When people really
think that something's going to be really good, and it's a
policy or law, or an executive order or a tax change, and we
really don't know what the outcome is going to be. And here
you have it. We're trying to do good. What's the result? People
turn into eight holes. I find that fascinating.
Yeah, this is kind of interesting. And you see it
everywhere. Is who what group is the most, you know, doing the
moral self licensing? You know, the pussy hat is a good example.
It's moral self license. Yes. All is good. Now he wore the
hat. Was he at Trump Steaks and you go home and everything's
good.
So you're extrapolating. But yeah,
that's exactly what's going on.
Is you think you do something good by putting on the pantsuit.
You think you do something good by putting on the pussy hat and
then you turn to a gigantic asshole.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
and people that aren't gigantic assholes are all On this list
that I will be naming them. These people are all good to go.
Starting with Patrick hopeful or Hoppel HL PBE on your field

realize he was going to be here on the list
that really much of a genius. I can do it
pretty close. I prefer this one news bow. Oh. You got to admit,
came in 12345 Yeah, that's a good one. That's the best Stuart

gonna get on now. Unless he has something maybe made night. John
Roman Al. Okay, now I'm gonna feel bad if and oh, look it up.
Yeah, I should because
it says see email, exclamation mark. Yeah, that's that's this
meaning something there.
Yeah, Stuart Morrison. Let me just go this search engine on
the squirrel mail. And actually written us a lot he's been.
He's, he's good with the show. To the nation knows. I was
reading an article in the origin of Hotmail. Yeah, you got to, I
saw one of my old work telecommunications Excellence
Awards, which by the way I should reintroduce. But I need
to sponsor
the telecommunications award. Award, what kind of what kind of
is this where a product or a service or
generally for a product or I saw something that's important that
people didn't recognize what I put together his words,
who were the former? A bunch of,
we did it for about five or six years. And there's always two or
more than one or two main things. Things like Frame Relay,
the inventor of Frame Relay, would get the award and come to
come to get it. And you get to meet the guy who invented frame
relay. I mean, jeez, I mean, what more do you want in life?
I'm
hard as we speak.
And know that words, not not running. But it's not a bad idea
to reintroduce it because it would be good. Who else who
could we choose to win? We gotta get a sponsor. It has to be
somebody big like Cisco.
Okay, well think about it. We probably have.
Maybe we should update the whole award concept not be for a
telecommunications product.
I don't know. It's mostly for the people. This for people.
I've always wanted to give an award to the guy who invented
the RJ 45 or the RJ 11. That little clip.
Who invented that? Do you know his name? No,
it's almost impossible to find out. But then I ever wants to I
pull one of those things that gets hooked on a thing and it
makes a big mess. And I decided, anyway, John Stuart Morris's 100

much and give him a hearty in the morning
ITM
ITM indeed.
So let's go to the best story of the day.
Been waiting for it. You see, can
you identify looking at the stories here?
Rats on a plane? Exactly. I know you so well. Tonight a
number of travelers are left stranded in Oakland after one of
the most bizarre airline cancellations we have ever heard
of. API exposed Jackie Ward with the story of the stowaway rat,
Alaska Airlines flight 915 was supposed to take off at 9:37am
but instead of heading to Portland, the plane was towed to
a remote stand on the tarmac at Oakland International, where the
airline says exterminators have gone to work inside the Boeing
737. Earlier as passengers were boarding at gate 10 The airline
says a rat ran from the jetway and on to the plane.
I thought it was a little comical way to start at 2018
Even though we'd really love to be on a plane right now headed
home.
Matt golf had a seat on that flight and took it upon himself
to name the rat after the owner of the soon to be Las Vegas
Raiders.
I grew up in Oakland and Berkeley and grew up a Raiders
fan I had to endure the leaving months before so I named the
rat, Mark Davis or another rat who wants to leave Oakland's
any passengers who already gotten on board the plane, the
airline says most of the 110 passengers were revoked onto
other flights tonight, some are stuck until tomorrow. The
question that remains is Oakland airport have a rat problem,
you know, the staff were before to kind and I can't really blame
them for the rat. So I think everyone kind of felt the same
way. The spokesperson
for the Oakland airport tells us that no, they do not have a rat
problem here. And as far as that plane is concerned, that was
involved in all of this Alaska Airlines tells us that that has
been taken out of service, and it will stay that way until it's
been deemed rodent free by an exterminator at the Oakland
airport, Jackie Ward, KPI x five. Yeah,
a couple of things about this story one, they get some
passenger who starts rambling about Mark Davis and the Oakland
Raiders leaving town. Names are named the rat. Nobody cares what
this guy thinks. He names the rat, Mark Davis names that. And
then they bring him back on for a second little stint where he
talks about well, they were nice to me. And there's not that many
rats on these plates service was like, it's like what is the what
is this reporter doing? He finds one guy who's talkative and he
just lets them go.
Well, they weren't allowed to report on the real story of the
airplane that was halfway to Tokyo and had to turn around so
they got to do an aviation story in the Enter the rat.
Yeah, the rats online. I think by the way, this was when I see
hear stories like this and they get this much play. I'm thinking
industrial espionage. And ESA, maybe they bring a rat on board,
as has this playing Jaws rat jumping to the plane off from
the tarmac is bull crap. Yeah.
Maybe he just took the jetway jet.
Why not? It was gay. Yeah, you cut in line.
I think we should talk about Iran. Okay. And before we get
into it, I do have a number of clips. I want to remind
everybody of the West Clark seven. So we can hear all the
countries again that needed to be realized. This was three
weeks after 911 Wesley Clark, he was then General Wesley Clark
was called in and we're not sure where he was called in. But in
the I would say it was the State Department, White House, maybe
the Pentagon pentagon. And they said it was Pentagon it was and
he was given a list. Then this is the countries were growing
after. And here's the an evergreen clip on the no agenda
show.
So I came back to see him a few weeks later. And by that time we
were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, Are we still going to war
with Iraq? And he said, Oh, what's worse than that? He said,
He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. He
said I just he said I just got this down from upstairs, meaning
the secretary Defense Office today. And he said this a memo
that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in
five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya,
Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
And it's time we're there. It's time for Iran. Boris, the elites
like to say it Iran, Iran, then we are behind this, I'm pretty
convinced of that. There's enough, there's ample evidence,
which I will give to you. But first, I want to go to another
podcast of sorts, the Ron Paul Liberty Liberty report. He had a
guy on and we played clips from him before not necessarily from
a podcast, Daniel McAdams. And he's stating the obvious, but
it's worth listening to,
it seems pretty obvious that the CIA or the US government are
both his fingerprints are really on this. And that doesn't
delegitimize the fact that there are probably a few people in
Iran who are unhappy about high prices. Probably a few people in
the US unhappy about high prices were so we're supposed to
believe that because the price of eggs increased in Iran, that
people all of a sudden woke up one morning in a very carefully
coordinated way and multiple cities decided to overthrow the
government. Of course, that's what they told us in Syria, that
then it was the bread prices, bread prices went up. Everyone
who went to the streets wanted to overthrow the government.
That's the narrative that I tried to pass. And I think it's
a little bit hard to digest, particularly when, as you point
out, Trump and at least Obama tried to be a little circumspect
in 2009 when he tried to overthrow the Iranian
government, but Trump is just out there, you know, hey, people
to the streets. This is great overthrow the government, we're
with you, you know, and it's just so overt, but you have a
CIA chief, who is very violently anti Iran. You have a president
who, unfortunately, the one thing he's been consistent on
everything else, is his hatred to Iran. So I think if you put
these few pieces together in the puzzle, you see a pretty clear
picture of another US regime change and they want to look
everywhere else but internally. It's Iran's fault. It's other
people's fault. It's not the military industrial complex,
which is playing us and destroying our economy. But you
know, no matter what happens, you protest. The one thing
that's interesting is they're following such a familiar
pattern. They all broke out simultaneously. That's pretty
interesting. Everyone was upset about egg prices. At the same
time, I guess they all woke up one morning and eggs were
expensive. But the other thing is the rhetoric is the same. The
US is calling everyone peaceful protesters. So no matter what
they do, they're viewed as peaceful protesters. There have
been a few people killed. And at least from press reports,
they've been breaking into police stations, breaking into
military bases, trying to get guns blowing up a police cars.
And those are the sorts of things that will get you killed
in the US actually a lot less defying police officers will get
you killed in the US. So so this isn't a particularly peaceful
protest in that respect. But the result will be the US has
declared them peaceful. So no matter what they do, they'll be
peaceful protesters, just like in Ukraine, peaceful protesters.
And I think this is going to be used for a few things as a
pretext for more US crackdown on Iran, more sanctions on Iran.
It's a golden present for President Trump to tear up the
nuclear deal, because he'll find some way to tie this into the
nuclear deal to tie that in and try to pressure the Russian
Iranian regime that relationship. So no matter what
the what the case, the outcome of this, it certainly is a
benefit. These protests are of benefit to Trump and Trump's
anti Iran policy.
Yeah. And here's some backup on that. The CIA established a new
organization focused exclusively on gathering and analyzing
intelligence about Iran, which is intended to reflect the Trump
administration's decision to make that country a higher
priority target for American spies. And this is the Iran
Mission Center. And this was created in June. Yeah, and this
is not widely known. I had one of our producers, Michael is
just killing it with some of the research. And so this is Pompeo
is he's this new CIA, head head honcho. And he hates Iran, and
has been known for a long time. So they've created that. But it
gets a little nutty here. Do you know who they are? Then this is
just from my research, who they are using to create the havoc
inside Iran.
Know, the meuk. The Mujahideen
you guys that we financed? And yes, yeah, they
understand. Yes. And from the this was in 2012, September 28,
gays love to take our money. Yes, September 28 2012. from
Reuters, the US State Department on Friday formally removed the
Iranian dissident group Mujahideen al kalk, from its
official list of terrorist organizations. So they're no
longer a terrorist organization.
They never are when they're working for us. Well, no, of
course not. But that didn't turn out so well, the last time
it won't turn out well, this time either.
Now the talking points are, you can identify them. In fact, here
I have former the former Obama ambassador, Dennis Ross.
One thing I would say about this is that, you know, one of the
reasons you have great economic problems in Iran is not simply
because there hasn't been investment from the outside.
It's also because about half of the GDP is basically taken up by
the Revolutionary Guard, and also by the religious charitable
trust. And that creates an enormous distortion, even if you
could produce some of the investment from the outside.
It's not going to fix their economic problem soon. So the
frustration that exists is a function of a structural problem
right now. And in fact, one of the things that regime needs to
do is to begin to think about how will it actually address
that?
So what I like about the talking point is that grabbed the
government, and the Revolutionary Guards, so they're
all corrupt, then they've you know, the sanctions went off and
all these new jobs are created, but they were only for the
insiders only for the Revolutionary Guard and for
Rouhani. And for you know, all the all the guys on the inside
circle,
which is also known as the muckety mucks
muckety. mucks Yes. And that's a setup for regime change and
involved in this is the NC are i The National Council of
resistance of Iran, keep your eye on this woman, Maryam Rajavi
AMQP in demand, the overthrow of the ruling, religious
dictatorship. It is the right to topple this repressive regime.
And I emphasize regime change in Iran is within reach.
So we need regime change.
And I've heard of this woman.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. No. Well, you'll be hearing a lot more from her.
For sure, yeah. And you're there.
Now we started with Wesley Clark. So we're gonna stick with
that. Let's just stick with the Neo cons. The biggest neocon we
know is Bill Kristol. And he's been very clear about his stance
on Iran in the past. And now he's appearing on television
again, everywhere. Yeah, let's talk about Iran. This was on
what's the CNN, MSNBC, let me see a CNN I believe, at the at
the panel, quad box. And here we go. People
have been tremendously patient with the Rouhani government
going out and re electing him despite the fact that he hadn't
really produced much economic benefits for them. But now those
expectations and that patience is running out and accrued
causes this is because investments have not come in,
because there's uncertainty as to whether this nuclear deal
will survive or not.
And that's the root cause of this, Stephanie, is that the
Iranian people don't have freedom. And they would like
freedom. I mean, you can get upset about the very minimal
sanctions President Trump put on the IRGC, his policies are not
fundamentally affected anything. And if regime had a bad if
companies don't want to help the IRGC, the ruling regime in Iran,
that's fine with me. Let's let's be more respectful of the
Iranian people's desire for freedom with all due
respect, unless you've been an argument to bomb for so long. So
I don't know if you're really respecting the Iranian people.
You've been advocating killing Iranians, I don't think you
will, or the Trump administration have the
credibility to now say that you care for the
Viotti. Well done. It's not about me, it's not about me.
It's not about me, it's about the Iranian. Do you stand with
the Iranian people? Do you stand with the Iranian people against
us? And there's your little slogan, I stand with the Iranian
people, you can just wait for it?
That's exactly right. We're in agreement or we're in agreement,
we're in the actually we're in agreement, more democratic
situation without killing them. Treat it I couldn't a
crystal is not advocating to kill anyone. Let's make that
very clear.
No contract has been halted this argument for taking military
action against you on so instead of actually having this nuclear
deal that has been working. I
think you'll also be on the lookout for the following
phrase. Iran is the leading Sponsor of Terrorism more Well,
it's been going on forever. Yes,
the world's leading sponsor of terrorism.
There's actually said this far he's a con or Jakari without now
some
other rounds like it wasn't him. There's a was this but this was
just a blog post on this is from but someone wrote this
interesting. Oh, the veteran intelligence professionals for
sanity, there you go. The VIPs. Subject is Iran, the world's
leading sponsor of terrorism, and they debunk pretty well that
Iran is just really no longer funding Hezbollah. Now, they may
be I don't know but they have it's, it's a pretty good
deconstruction that you take a look at in the show notes. But
now we need to have everybody come out and start talking about
you know, telling the people of Iran Let's go Come on. Go Go,
go, go go. You can do it. We don't have a color yet for this
revolution. But eres Bibi telling everybody to go.
I heard today. Iran's President and his claim that Israel is
behind the protests in Iran. It's not only false, it's
laughable. And I like Oh, honey, I will not insult the Iranian
people. They deserve better. Brave Iranians are pouring into
the streets. They seek freedom. They seek justice. They seek the
basic liberties that have been denied to them for decades.
Iran's cruel regime wastes 10s of billions of dollars spreading
hate. This money could have built schools and hospitals. No
wonder mothers and fathers are marching in the streets. The
regime is terrified of them of their own people. That's why
they jail students. That's why they banned social media. But
I'm sure that fear will not triumph. Because the Iranian
people are smart. They're sophisticated. They are proud.
Today they risk everything for freedom. Sadly, many European
governments watch in silence, as heroic young Iranians are beaten
in the streets. That's just not right. And I for one, will not
stay silent. This regime tries desperately to sow hate between
us, but they won't succeed. And when this regime finally falls,
in one day, it will Iranians and Israelis will be great friends
once again. I wish the Iranian people's success in their noble
quest for freedom. Yes,
go go go go. I just realized Bibi has a pretty good radio
voice. He's got some good voice. Yeah, he's got some good pipes
there. So we have Trump tweeting. We got BB doing these
little address there. But you know, the Iran they've shut down
Twitter. They're shut Though social media you can't
communicate, but and this is where this really takes the cake
when it comes to propaganda from the US government. What outfit
always reaches these countries? One that we finance
Voice of America
Voice of America, a guest who works at Voice of America these
days who Greta Van Susteren?
Oh, that's where she ended, get fired, you know from Yeah,
she got fired but she that she tried to do the MSNBC liberal
stuff and couldn't pull it off?
Well, I've always thought she was somehow related to the CIA.
So this doesn't surprise me,
moreover, that she sat down with an interview with the Vice
President. And they just put it right out there.
Well, a couple of things. Number one is that the way the
President has done it so far is by Twitter and the Iranian
authorities, a government has shut down Twitter, Telegram,
Facebook and Instagram. So the social media into Iran is not
reaching, I realized that this interview will reach into into
Iran because of voice America does reach there. And so the
President may not be reaching them. The second thing is, is
that I suspect that many people in Iran are a little bit a
little bit distressed with the President's immigration in terms
of banning people from Iran from coming here in the United
States. So I don't know how receptive the people are the Ron
less he reaches out more to them.
Well, the repression by the regime by the Ayatollah is in
and around is not surprising. They continue to be a nation
that denies basic human rights to their people, and to end to
be shutting down communication. What
are they hearing from our government? I mean, if it's done
by Twitter, and Napa, I mean, is there another vehicle that the
President has other than I mean, of course, you're speaking out
here today. But is there another vehicle that the President
intends to use, as Senator Lindsey Graham suggested he
addressed the nation, for instance, on this issue our
nation on it?
I think that the President, again, again, spoke out on
social media this morning directly to the people of Iran.
And if they don't have social media, that's the pressure you
that whether it's whether it's the president, whether it's
myself, whether it's our secretary
and saying, Listen, no, he has a message to deliver. And that's
what he's going to do.
It's like a robot. Yes. Well, this
is also a podcast, it's his own station, the government pays for
Voice of America, he does our own prop, it is
ours. It makes him sound like a douchebag. She keeps asking the
same question over and over again, when they can't get to
it. Or he just said on Twitter, he just tweeted it out. So the
Iranians will read it on Twitter. No, they don't get it.
Hello, they don't get it. And then he's going to do is this
guy is just not paying any attention to anything?
Correct. Because the only thing he's been programmed to do is
say go araignee. And people go,
go, go go spoke out on social media this morning directly
to the people. And by the way, now, you know why Greta gets
fired everywhere around if
they don't have social
media. That's the pressure you that whether it's whether it's
the president, whether it's myself, whether it's our
Secretary of State or UN ambassador, Nikki Haley, we're
going to continue to send different from nine years ago,
we're going to continue to sound from the very outset of this, of
this effort on the streets of Iran, an unambiguous message
that the American people stand with freedom loving people in
Iran and around the world. And I think this is a very hopeful
moment. And I my hope, and really my prayer, my people of
Iran and a youthful population, a well educated population
understand that the United States of America and the people
of this country are their natural ally, we want to see
them achieve a free and democratic future. We want to
see them step away from a regime that continues to menace the
world and threaten the world and threatened to develop what can
happen.
Hmm. Sure, that's the interview went on like that. And what is
he talking about? Ever since he was the winner was the 50s that
the CIA first got busy in Iran? 56 Something like that? Yeah. 56
Yeah, that's during the heyday of the CIA, when they were well,
able to do some stuff, they can't do anymore. A
couple of things. Get your browser, get your Edge browser
and go to NATO bases.no agenda notes.com for a good laugh. If
you want to see the NATO bases surrounding Iran, NATO bases.no
agenda notes.com. And then also then it's good to see this map
because then you see again, Afghanistan. So you know, you
know how its borders on Iran and that's where your Mujahideen are
Hi. In the hills or whatever they whatever they're,
yeah, pretty much shipped out northern or turkey. Turkmenistan
is kind of weak.
We need Turkmenistan and what's over there on? That map doesn't
show what country that is. Is that? What's the the East
Moldova or something Moldova? No, that's dumb Hold on a second
map of Iran. Let me just worth taking a look at Azerbaijan. Of
course, Azerbaijan and Georgia have any? Well, we have the
Coast Guard in Georgia. But we have nothing as Azerbaijan. And
that's kind of neutral territory. That's like where all
the aliens on Star Trek come together and do oil. But we
should have a base there. And we have one in Turkmenistan. Yeah.
Yeah, there's one over there. Yes. I think those are oil
fields. Yes.
No, of course, you want your base protecting the oil fields
in the poppy fields. You don't want your bases out in the
sticks where nothing's happening. So that is a very
good overview of how, how, yeah, how they are literally
surrounded. But here's the problem of not and this is a
problem that no agenda Consulting Group, the curry
Devorah consulting group can actually solve because they're
not getting the traction meal. And then they got everything
right. They got the protest, right. They got guys on the
inside to spur it on. But why is no one changing the icon? Why
are women not? Why is the pantsuit nation not standing up
for the brave women of Iran? You need to kill some gays, you need
to do some via we can. You gotta kill some gays, you got to cut
somebody's head off. You got to do something to get people
talking about it and they're failing. They're failing,
failing, failing, failing. Yes, they
are. Well, she is supposed to be taking care of this. They're not
doing a very good job
who was in charge of the of the propaganda ops, the psyops,
it would be the Defense Department and the CIA.
Well, they're doing a piss poor job, because this is not getting
people talking.
And I'll tell you, they're doing it. I'm gonna give you an
example how the what a piss poor job the CIA is doing. You know,
we always like to play that leader Foundation, how their
mess and mucking up with our TV sitcoms and dropping storylines
in Yeah, you want to play that again. So we get it. This is a
group run by Norman Lear that goes out of his way to promote
the pantsuit nation agenda into the media.
So in the course of our work, this is, in the two years 11 to
13 335 storylines that we worked on, have been aired, we've
worked with 35 networks in the past four years. 91 different
television shows.
There you go. And that was, what, 10 years ago.
Yeah. And there's, you know, there's still going on. Now, the
thing that's been going on, I have not started documenting
this, but I'm gonna make it a regular feature, because I catch
it a lot. And I'm not sure what the point of it is. I mean, I
know what the point of it is, on a meta basis because people love
stories where you get small government guys against the big
government bad guys. Yeah. And, and but one of the things that
crops up a lot is this anti CIA dialogue. In popular shows, this
is anti CIA dialogue I caught on NCIS New Orleans, well
just be your career in trouble. You're worried about someone
should be you know, he put his neck out there for us. And I
appreciate the CIA doesn't care about getting justice for those
tops. So we're gone. No matter the cost. I get a song. I
wouldn't ask anyone to be involved. If it doesn't feel
right. We should go
home. Yeah, so the hatin on the CIA interesting.
And then they had some CIA blow hard, a woman, blonde woman,
like Valerie playing, yes, coming into the scene, and she's
stopping their investigations in time. We got more important
things to do. And she, she ends up getting stabbed in the back
by the guy she's protecting for those days.
It's cool. It's very funny, but keep your eye on that. Keep your
eye on for at
the CIA lookout.
I don't know if you saw the tweet from one of our producers.
But you nailed it on the Bogut of New York Times interview and
that's probably why not why we're not hearing about it much
anymore because I think the media has figured out what
happened as well. This was the MAR Lago interview,
right just fake the interview with their setup, the setup
setup,
so the setup was done by Chris Ruddy, he's the CEO of Newsmax,
which is I think a conservative is Yeah, news out red flag.
Yeah, well, and he tweeted at real Donald Trump respects NYT
is Mike Schmidt because he's fair. Glad to connect them at
Trump International. So he was
the guy. Chris ruddy of all people. Yeah.
There was a total setup. Yeah. Beautiful.
cropped up. That would be the end of it. Yeah.
Yeah. So you nailed that.
That's what we do on the show that yeah,
that is we try. We try me and stuff. Let me see there was also
what else happened?
That you're looking for something you can play, I got a
little ISO of Nick Hale, I think usable for anything.
This is we don't think we need a band aid. And we don't think we
need to smile and take a picture.
What was the context of this?
It was just something to do with nothing. I mean, it was like
somebody North Korea voted something we don't. We don't
need to take a picture of some some southern phrase, but the
way I heard it was we don't need something about a band aid. Now
we don't need to smell. Is that what she says?
We don't think we need a band aid and we don't think we need
to smile and take a picture
or smile.
Smile, smile, smile, baby.
I don't know which ISO to use. I think yeah, baby is better, I
think yeah, baby. Yeah, baby is very good. I'm like, yeah, baby.
Now I tried to get a clip. I was unsuccessful, because I saw
pooper yesterday, by the way. Holy moly, crap. I brought no
clips. But what is up with the news networks? In particular,
CNN really? And New Year's Eve? I mean, they were they were
smoking dope. They were putting on gas masks with a bong
attached to it to female news hosts and Anderson Cooper. What
the Oh yeah. Because Oh, California it's legal and
they're all smoking a joint passenger are Yeah, and the air
Yes. You remember last year Don Lemon was hammered. Well,
everyone's drunk again. But now they were high. That's
not the same as smoking. Yeah,
yeah. Blunt. It was not a blunt. It was a split is like the name.
It was a spliff mount a blunt a spliff. I smoke spliffs, not
blunt fight now. Oh, that's cultural appropriation. My
friend is racist. My kind of smoke blunt. So there was that
was that was the toss from home base, which was Anderson Cooper
with who was the who was the other guy. He's a gay guy. And
that's now I'm just trying to think what anyway, it turned
into a gay fest. But the thing was Anderson who was kind of a
stoic per Andy Cohen, that's it was Andy Cohen. He's the guy
that does the interviews with the Real Housewives of Beverly
Hills. That's all I know him from. And, and he has to show us
pretty popular. So he and Cooper then pooper in. I don't know if
he's in a relationship. But if he is, yeah, he's the woman
because he turned into a total Fembot. And it was like, I don't
give a shit. And it was
only doing this so far as the show's humor is
concerned. No, it was very entertaining. But it really took
away attaining.
That's the word I'm saying. Yes, it's
a big word. But it really takes away from his authority as a
serious host,
which I've seen him. I've seen him devolve like that on the air
every once in a while. Do you think it happened during the
elections? Or it's happened numerous times? And it does I
think his authority diminishes. Yeah, greatly. I don't know why
he does it.
I don't either. I don't understand. And with Kathy
Griffin, I understood how that worked that dynamic. And he
could just be your outrageous, your outrageous and just show a
little bit of his gay side. But he was really like, yeah, and
was me Hey, I should get some clips. It was it was crazy. It
was just and not that it wasn't entertaining. But
what the job is not to his job is not to entertain you by
showing off his gay side. Well,
why did he Why did they even let him do it?
I'd like to know.
I would do that. Anyway. So where was like going with all
that?
You are bitching. Yeah, but that was the New Years and all this.
Yeah. Okay. And now I know. Anyway, so on one of the serious
pooper shows. And I wish I had this clip. He's like, Ah, well,
the President has Executive Order has canceled his voter
fraud Commission. It was bogus to start with there's absolutely
no evidence by
an on time check times
You're not another one of those. But it's only half of the story.
And in fact, it was very easy to to debunk.
Because I went I know. Yeah, well, I wouldn't say that is
half of the story. Yeah. So I went
to the to the White House website. And I looked at the
executive order, which is very curt, and by the authority
vested in me as president by the Constitution laws, both of us
section one Executive Order, blah, blah, blah, is hereby
revoked. And the Presidential Advisory Commission on election
integrity is accordingly terminated. And that's pretty
much it. Then, if you go to the next story on the whitehouse.gov
website, there's a statement by the press secretary on the
Presidential Advisory Commission. Despite substantial
evidence of voter fraud, many states have refused to provide
the Presidential Advisory Commission on election integrity
with basic information relevant to its inquiry, rather than
engage in an endless legal battle at taxpayer expense.
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to
dissolve the commission. And he's asked the Department of
Homeland Security to review its initial findings and determine
next courses of action, very different from the way it's
being presented. And there are a few have mentioned this, but I
figured I'd just pull a clip from. This is how long ago
months ago
President Trump calling out US states who are refusing to give
his administration sensitive voter data for a Trump White
House probe into his unsubstantiated claims of voter
fraud in the 2016 election. Trump tweeting Saturday,
numerous states are refusing to give information to the very
distinguished voter fraud panel. What are they trying to hide
that panel, known as the Presidential Advisory Commission
on election integrity sent a letter to all 50 states
requesting voter information including names the last four
digits of social security numbers, addresses, birthdates,
political affiliation, felony convictions, and voting
histories. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe blasting the
request.
This is an outrageous violation of citizens privacy rights, we
will not let Donald Trump and his white wing extremists use
this as some covert plan to get data to make it harder for
people to vote, we won't stand for it.
McAuliffe is joined by election officials and more than 20 red
and blue states including New York, Mississippi, Kentucky,
Indiana and Massachusetts who say they won't provide the data.
Citing privacy concerns. The data request came from Kris
Kobach, the Commission's vice chair who also serves as Kansas
Secretary of State, he's known for his hardline stance on
tougher laws on immigration and voter identification. But even
he may have trouble complying. Local media quoted colback is
saying his own state of Kansas may not turn over social
security numbers, because they're not publicly available,
even though he did not rule it out in the future.
And there was plenty of reporting on at the time, plenty
of it.
Hmm, yeah. And that's the reason he had to shut it down because
it was just wasting time and money. But the
bias here is instead of saying, okay, the facts are they asked
for the data. 44 states said no. So, Trump said, Let's not get
into an endless legal battle. We'll handle over everything and
everything over we have to DHS, but then take a look at it. Let
them take it from there for next steps as we work on that that
would indeed fall under their jurisdiction I guess. And we
don't want to charge the American taxpayer with endless
bullcrap and lawsuits. That's a little different story.
Yeah, there was no evidence on a bogus investigations Shoka that
blood?
Past the spliff don't smoke the blunt you racist. It's not for
you. Okay, just a couple quick stories. Love the story about
whom Aberdeen forwarding her secret passwords to her Yahoo
account. Great, great story. And it was before Yahoo got hacked.
Yeah. That was it when
it's fant you know? I bet there's a lot of people who have
a file that probably says passwords do not delete they
mail around to themselves and put on computers so they have
them.
Yeah, so that way when you're, you know, floating around and
you Oh, I forgot the password. What's for that?
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah,
you have to write that backwards or in pidgin English or
something. Pigeon, pigeon,
but what what the word to get the entry word.
I only have two clips left. Okay. I mean, I got a bunch of
Because I don't want to plan I think we've run out of time.
Yeah, we are. So the Hartford middle school had a poor
teacher. And I think is Southern California. I'm not sure where
this place is, but it was in the local New Connecticut. Hartford,
Connecticut. No, no, it's it's like in San Jose. So is the name
of the school. It's not the name of the town. Yeah. And they got
videos of this guy who apparently busted into a
classroom and raped this teacher in her classroom, I guess where
the students were gone. Oh, my. And he's a big fat guy. That
walks real funny. And he reminds me when you see these
characters, they have all these videos of him. He's like that
guy in the first episode of Mind Hunter.
Oh, the criminal?
Yeah, the criminal a big fat guy. Yeah. Who
a kills and, and dismembers his victims. Yeah,
I see a little mustache. And it's the same guy. And so so
they go in and they they're trying to identify this
character who's probably going to be trouble down the road. But
what got me was the kind of commentary that was put on
because this this praise a private school. And so they've
they've taken on all these liberal pantsuit, nation kinds
of ways of expressing themselves. And I want to play
first of all the lien in comment.
Oh, hold on. I wasn't prepared. Yes. Got it. Officials
released
a statement saying quote, We are saddened and upset by this
incident and are leaning in to provide support and privacy to
our employee and to
each other. That sounds pretty lame. Leaning, leaning in. How
about a check?
They're leaning in what is it? What does that even mean? Maybe
here's your what is this even mean? Leaning in? Well, we says
based on the book Lean In from Sheryl. Sheryl Sandberg. So now
people are adopting it as I think it's code. We're a liberal
school. Now, here's the other one is the Hartford Middle
School sad comment.
I'm just deeply, deeply saddened with what transpired. And that
just makes me very, very sad.
This is a woman they're interviewed. She lives right out
of Portlandia. She's one of the parents and she says she's
saddened and saddened and sadness. That's what makes her
sad. By the way, this is a good clip to play instead of the
other ones, but you can play them all here. Why don't we play
this one again? And listen, this is the one you gotta imagine
somewhat Portlandia type well, she looks ridiculous up. She's
just there. She's got a horrible look on her face. And she says
something stupid like this.
I'm just deeply, deeply saddened with what transpired and that
just makes me very, very sad. Oh,
pantsuit nation.
Yeah, but no one said for the Iranian women pantsuit nation
Pants, pants suit, pussy hat nation. Well, that was for
thoroughly depressing. Yeah, I was just saying about this. So
I'll, I'll I'll depress us a little bit more. And end it with
this story. Man, there's an associated Harper's Magazine
article from 1975 in the shownotes. That goes with this
note from Chris Sundberg. One of our producers from Washington.
History of us homelessness then, and when I read this I went Ah,
yes, of course. Because we've been talking about it where How
did this happen? Where's Willie? Oh, from what's going on? They
used to be these places called state hospitals where persons
with mental and substance abuse problems could reside and be
cared for in a humane way in the 70s. The then social justice
warriors decided these were bad places and need needed to be
closed. See up one flight I was there for this One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Yeah, I want to hear all about it. See, One Flew Over
the Cuckoo's Nest. It became a civil rights crusade to free
these poor souls from their cruel confinement. It also
became a bug off, buy one get one free for the politicians.
They could be social justice warrior heroes for closing down
these bad places. And by closing down these bad places, they also
freed up hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on other stuff.
A few astute individuals warn that D housing yes ironically D
housing these people would not work as the Attach commentary
from Harper's Magazine 1975, written by Mark Vonnegut, Kurt's
Kurt Vonnegut son who's now a doctor, up until the recent
housing affordability crisis, ie the hollowing out of the US
economy by the war machine and corporate kleptocrats, most
homeless people suffered from mental problems and or substance
abuse. Now they are increasingly being joined by the regular
slaves, which created the opportunity for politicians to
prosecute a new endless war, the war against homelessness.
And I think he's got us America so
it's totally spot on. It's exactly what happened. Tell us
about it
because you witnessed this. Here
is the Joe here. To me the great irony of this is what we hear
today. In California they were up in arms a bit about which is
the home of A lot of this stuff about these places there was a
big new State Hospital in the San Jose area there's a mental
hospital up in Napa Sonoma, there's a bunch of these places
a lot. A lot of them are completely shut down. A lot of
maintained high order of institutionalism people ever
really, absolutely crazy are the are a lot of them are locked up
because it's they'd lock people up for crimes and these some of
these places, but it was Ronald Reagan. When he was governor, he
heard all this stuff that we had to get rid of these places. So
he unanimous on his own, shut them all down and released
everybody.
Wow, where did they go?
What do you think they went through, went to the streets
Union Square, and went to Union Square. And what Reagan did was
he did exactly what all the social justice Democrats, the
pantsuit nation of their era demanded. They demanded that he
do this and he did it. And he just did it. And now they blame
him for it. Amazing. Oh, if it wasn't for him, if it wasn't,
I've heard it. You hear it around here. If it wasn't for
Ronald Reagan shutting down all the mental hospitals, we
wouldn't have these problems.
But everyone wanted it at the time.
Oh, they wanted it. That was it was demanded by the and they had
everybody all worked up about him when I was probably I was
probably on the same side. Yeah, these places are terrible. And
how
important was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at the time for
that movement.
It was just kind of confirmation that it was an evil place. I
mean, Ken Keyes, he was a very famous local art author. He
moved to Oregon eventually wrote a couple other books. But he was
the famous superstar novelist in the Bay Area, part of the Merry
Pranksters and the LSD promoter. And he wrote his he's a great
writer, if you read if you read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,
it's actually very funny. It's a very well written book. And he
was he was part of it. It was the he was one of the guys
demanding the book was a protest
book. There's a pretty good yes. And it's the film came out in
1975. Yeah, which is exactly this time, exactly the year of
this article.
Yeah, it was a concerted effort, like we're seeing today with
different things that we exploit on this show when we discuss it.
Yes. If we were doing no agenda 1975 We would have nailed this
sucker. Yes, we would

Here's what I've said. I've said that we need the information. We
need to connect the dots and We got to drill down, we've got to
connect the dots, get the facts, connect the dots do everything
that I possibly can. To help connect the dots I've said we've
got to connect the dots I've always said if we connect the
dots, I believe that they should have to connect the dots if
we're able to connect the dots and if we determine the facts,
if the dots are connected, let's get to the bottom of it all
let's see if the dots connect
