Hey, Shama What are you doing? Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, February 25 2018. This is your award winning game
nation media assassination episode 1011. This is no agenda.
Riding the sharp edge of our comms razor and broadcasting
live from downtown Austin Tejas capital, the German Star State
in the colonial in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm waiting for this
effort and eating my vitamin B 12. To get the show going. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Hill.
Yes, sir. Re you're eating your vitamin B 12. You just swallow
my thing. I don't know if you want to eat them.
Or they chewables you'll need to read the instruction or
do you have Flintstone B? 12 chewables.
I have Jarrow formulas. Jarrow?
Is that is the root word Jarrow for geriatric
Geroge J R R O W some company methyl, vitamin B 12. Superior
form it says yum. And then it says usage dissolve in mouth
Okay, dissolve all right. Don't dissolve.
When you screw up and then you number Blum, they get dissolved.
Just a faster way of doing it. That taking them as a lozenge.
But you don't swallow them, supposedly. I don't know.
Yum, yum, yum. Milan, Milan Blum is to yum yum, yum, yum, yum,
yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
Give John yum. No, it's
yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. All right. What you've been
doing a while you know what?
I really did Zoo.
I really? Do. I want to hear about that. I realized that
every single network that calls itself a news network, except
for one American news network. He's not giving any news now.
Now they've just stopped news altogether. There's no news on
these shows. Literally no news. It is only Republican memo.
Democrat memo. Putin Trump Russia collusion, black shoot,
ar 15. There's just no news. There's not even a headline at
the top of the news. Like breaking news. You know, the
memo, whatever. That is just zero news. There's so much going
on in the world and the Americans of Gitmo nation, not
hearing about any of it. No, it's it's but it's gotten so
bad.
I'll take too many people give a crap about the dueling memos as
they like to call them.
I think that's a total nothing. A total nothing a total nothing.
Have you read the memo? No, I
did not read the memo. I did. I decided not to read the memo. I
don't care about the memo. But you can you did read the memo
and you're gonna give us a briefing.
I'm just gonna say it's really the only dispute here as far as
I can tell is, well, you we did disclose that it was funded by
someone else who might not like Donald Trump, which is not
exactly the same as saying funded by the DNC and Hillary
for President.
That's about it. It's all about the dossier. Yeah. The
dossier was funded. Yeah, exactly. That is annoying.
I do have a since you brought it up. I do have the kind of the
overview that was done in the weekend news is the latest,
greatest on CBS on the memo. And as I look on my clipless I
haven't we
begin with the release today of a memo from Democrats on the
House Intelligence Committee. It's a rebuttal document to a
Republican memo released earlier this month, that alleged anti
Trump bias at the FBI and Justice Department I'll read is
at the White House.
Rena, as you just noted, Republicans earlier this month
released a memo suggesting that the FBI abused its surveillance
power to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
They alleged that the FBI requested a warrant based on
information from someone who had an anti Trump bias. But today's
memo, which is authored by Democrats alleges It alleges
that the FBI actually had an independent basis, separate from
the information in the infamous dossier to believe Paige was
knowingly helping crushing intelligence. And Republicans
have charged at the worn to monitor page taints the origins
of the special counsels investigation into any
connection between the Trump campaign and Russia. In a
statement, Democrat and ranking committee member Adam Schiff
said our extensive review of the initial FISA application failed
to uncover any evidence of illegal unethical or
unprofessional behavior by law enforcement. While Republican
Committee Chairman Devin Nunez released his own statement
doubling down on claims the bei used political dirt paid for by
the Democratic Party to spy on an American citizen from the
Republican Party. Today's release casts a month of dueling
memos and partisan bickering on that committee. But while they
debate the origins of the Russia investigation, Special Counsel
Robert Muller moves ahead full steam over just the past week.
He has netted two new guilty pleas and filed dozens of new
charges.
Yeah, that's that's kind of sums it up.
I should mention a couple of things before we continue that
does sum it up. The CBS can do that you only listen to CBS on
the on the weekends when Reena who's the CFR member is hosting
she's a kind of a, I think, I would say medium to dark skinned
Indian looking nervous South Asian look multi multicultural
woman, very multicultural multi, CFR perfect. And then this this
Paula Reid comes on that I don't see her that much more than I do
see, or I kind of always like, kind of get startled. She's
light skinned blonde woman with very light, blue, maybe light
gray eyes. I'm convinced she's one of those aliens from the
Norwegian style alien. And so she gives a report. I guess I
don't
know. She's one of the tall blondes that
I don't know. Remember what they call them? Blondes. They call
them the tall blonde, but she's one of them. And unless she's
shorter, she's short, then I'm completely wrong about this. But
I did get. I do remember a couple of days ago there was
when they did one of these indictments. I just want to play
the indictment clip. This is from one of the other networks,
I believe maybe ABC. This is another indictment. But what's
the indictment for for lying?
In the days other news special counsel Robert Muller has
obtained another guilty plea in his probe of Russian meddling in
the 2016 election. Attorney Alex Vander Zwaan appeared in federal
court in Washington. He admitted to lying about contacts with
former Trump campaign official Rick Gates. Gates was indicted
last year on money laundering and other charges. Meanwhile,
President Trump charged again that President Obama was not
nearly tough enough on Russia.
I wish we could hear from this Alexander Svan, which is a Dutch
guy and it would be Alexandre Sivan, which means of the Swan I
wish we would hear him speak because then you know, I could
roll on my accent.
Yeah, we're missing out. Now. The thing is, I was thinking
about this earlier, which is this guy there all the real only
thing anyone's done that's bad is lying to the FBI. Right. I
thought this was an independent counsel thing. What's the FBI
got to do this this? Because we keep you know, intertwining
Muller, because he wasn't. Yeah, exactly. With the FBI. But this
is supposed to be independent counsel, is the FBI running the
investigation? Well, it's an FBI investigation is an
FBI investigation. And I've done I did quite an amount of
research since our last show. And that was kind of egged on by
a long article in The Atlantic about Paul Manafort. Now the
Atlantic, this must be a left publication, is it?
Yes. Okay. That kind of waste has been, it's more or less now.
It's been bought and sold a few times. I think even the new
ownership, I think even involves Loreen jobs.
Oh, yeah, that's right. I do recall that when it's very late,
so Paul Manafort and I progressive, Paul Manafort.
Also, in that mix, somewhere is Roger Stone, but Paul Manafort
really pioneered a lot of what today we now know, was lobbying
in Washington, DC, I had no idea how you see Paul Manafort a
picture here and there. The guy is well in his 70s. And he has
been at the forefront of lobbying mainly for other
countries in the US for decades. I mean, this goes, he goes back
to to Reagan, he goes back to Nixon. And very, very powerful
inside the political scene, not just for Republicans, but also
for Democrats. And his, you know, I think what's going on
here is there is most definitely an investigation about him. And
I think it is an FBI investigation. That would make
sense, it's, you know, he's failed to register as a foreign
agent. There's tons of money laundering issues. This story
from the Atlantic is really detailed. Of course, they stop
at the most important point, which we'll get to, but it's
very detailed about how he essentially start to live the
lifestyle of his clients, who are either Russian oligarchs, or
a rich Saudis. He introduced Prince Bandar, in To the whole
Bush equation mean, the guy is really, really out there. And
when you start to understand what happened to him when he was
running, lower lobbying for the Ukrainian president who got
kicked out, you kind of see where, you know, the Russia and
Ukraine, he ran into a lot of problems, especially with this
Oleg, What's his last name? Deripaska, who we took $100
million from it all invested in something else, and then the
investment didn't go well. And so he's got like a Russian
oligarch running after him trying to get his money back.
And he signed up with the Trump campaign, according to this
article for free, because he said, you know, he thought to
himself, well, if I if I just do this for free, then you know,
Trump won't think it's all about the money. I'm not sure how the
Atlantic knows that. And he actually wrote a note to Oleg
Deripaska saying, Ah, I think we can use my new situation to make
us whole. And so if anyone was colluding with the Russians,
Paul Manafort most definitely was. But here's, here's the
use the two are most definitely three times now.
I should stop doing that then perhaps just dropped the most.
Okay? Even definitely, I don't think I need
no, okay.
And this is where the Atlantic story stops. And it's where the
Podesta group comes in. So Manafort was working with the
Podesta group on one specific deal lobbying the State
Department and the Obama White House for the I hate to say it,
but for the uranium one deal. Wow. Yeah. Which connects the
Russian collusion and Manafort to Podesta to Hillary Clinton
directly. And you'll recall the note that she sent, you know,
basically, if, if I don't win, we're all going to hang from the
same news. This is where Hillary Clinton sent. So I did find, I
thought a really detailed good backgrounder on this whole case,
which to me all of a sudden explains FBI involvement
explains to me why Trump is not unhappy at all with Muller and
why he hasn't fired and we've discussed this, they thought
that Muller was probably working more for Trump than we know. And
this is from one American news and I think it's a Russian
package, but doesn't matter that, as far as I can tell, the
information checks out.
You evidence suggests Paul Manafort and the Podesta group
helped Russian officials establish business ties with
Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration several years
ago. This eventually led to the controversial Uranium One deal
in the form of pay to play politics.
Russia would take gold warheads from the Soviet times, boil them
down, turn them into peaceful uranium and they would sell it
to the United States. But that program was coming to an end
during the Obama years and the Russians wanted a new form of
commercial sales since June
2009. Russia a State Owned Enterprise Ross atom became
increasingly interested in the Canadian mining company Uranium
One, which produces uranium in Australia, South Africa and
North America. Uranium One at the time was expanding its
mining in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan, Russia,
despite already having a sizable stake and the company wanted
full control of it.
Problem is that Hillary Clinton's Family Foundation The
Clinton Foundation was receiving 10s of millions of dollars from
shareholders in uranium, one who wanted the Russian Government to
acquire them because it would be a financial
landfall.
A former senior employee for the Podesta group said back in 2013
Manafort, a prominent lobbyist for the Kremlin at that time,
was in regular contact with John and Tony Podesta. The Podesta
brothers have been prominent allies and donors of Hillary
Clinton, who served as Secretary of State under the Obama
administration manifolds and the Podesta group helps Russian
officials establish close ties with Clemson as they were
convinced you will be the next President of the United States.
While that's going on. Funny set of things happen. Bill couldn't
get a speech for $500,000 from the Russians. John Podesta is
brother gets a contract from the Russians. John Podesta gets put
on a company that gets an investment from the Russians.
The Clinton Foundation gets millions of dollars suddenly
from people interested in these uranium deals.
Subsequently, the Obama administration granted approvals
to the acquisition of Uranium One by a RMZ uranium holding
company, a subsidiary of Rosatom. Hillary Clinton has
repeatedly denied her role in the uranium one deal, suggesting
a lot more people in the Obama administration were also
involved.
There's no basis for any of that timing doesn't work. It happens
I In terms of the support for the foundation before I was
Secretary of State, there were nine government agencies who had
to sign off on that deal. I was not personally involved because
that wasn't something the Secretary of State did. The
former
employee for the Podesta group says they believe that ongoing
attempts to tie President Trump to Russia are baseless. As
manifolds efforts had been focused on securing the
multibillion dollar Uranium One deal all along. Meanwhile,
Russia hardly had any commercial interest in us real estate or
any political interest in Donald Trump whatsoever, as few would
expect an outsider to the Washington establishment to go
on and become the president of the United States.
pretty comprehensive background
I liked that that was a very good you get that
I told you one American news that's but it makes
me there was a funny follow up in there just want to kind of do
as an aside financial landfall Oh, it'd be windfall. windfall
which is a phrase from the chaise that reverses fruit.
A windfall really?
Yeah, you had a big windstorm that she had a bunch of ripe
fruit and you got to bring these pickers out, but you get a big
this mainly avocados, but you get to the wind comes through
and knocks all that fruit to the ground, and you can just pick
them up. That's a good time with other fruit they get bruised,
but avocados are perfect when they get knocked down.
So it is a windfall only for avocados to have more I
don't know maybe there's others somebody else would know. But I
know for a fact avocados are benefit and apples are never as
good when they get they never ripen quite properly when
they're knocked to the ground like that
is an avocado a fruit. Yeah, nice.
Used to be called an avocado pear.
So this, I think is what is really going on. And the either
the news media doesn't know it or me the Atlantic article just
wondrously stopped dead stop in the story right about at the
moment that Manafort is engaged with the Podesta group. And, you
know, so now when you look at it, who wrote
that article, you know, I can find it right here.
Manafort was jumped into the because he was in he had
depression he was in a clinic. cup of therapy because
he played a million dollars missing in the Yeah, Russian mob
after
a bit of a problem. This was written by Franklin for fopr.
Good Franklin for national correspondent for The Atlantic.
He is the former editor of the New Republic and author of world
without mind, dicey other articles from him. Oh, this is a
new one man affords fate is sealed. And it really is. I
mean, the guy is super interesting to just to read his
background, all the different campaigns that he was involved
in. And And you'll recall that man, it was Manafort who worked
with the GOP the Republicans at the convention, to change some
of the language in the party program to to ease sanctions
against the Russians. Trump got blamed for it, if you recall.
Do you remember anything? Vaguely? Yeah, makes sense. So
you read the article, all these things start to come back,
there's been so much that we've covered it. I mean, you just
don't even remember any war anymore. So So for some reason,
I'm thinking, Yeah, we're gonna see some fireworks, but just may
not be what everybody expects. Now, on the same by the same
token, I went back and looked a little bit more at the Russian
troll factories, troll farm or troll factory, what are they
calling it these days?
I think we like to use the word farm, I think it's called
something else. It gets some other name. I
think it's the troll factory, as the internet is the internet
research agency. And those guys, there's a reporter, Adrian Chen,
who now works for New Yorker. But in 2015, he wrote an article
about the internet research agency for New York, for the New
York Times Magazine. And what he pretty much identified is just a
group, which is run by some guys got some money. They're in
Russia, they call them Putin chef. And he was irked about
what Hillary had done with her technical experts in the 2011.
Russian election wherever they had all kinds of Niantic
shenanigans going on just trying to disrupt exactly what we're
accusing the Russians of, by the way. Exactly. We did that. And
that's
pretty much what Putin took the huge dislike to Hillary. Yeah,
and I think
it's pretty much been it's accepted that this happened,
although it's never discussed. And this guy, it was just
passed. I'm going to use my my system to mess with them. But as
it turns out, what this internet research agency really is if you
look at their back Round and the way the guy wrote the original
article in, in 2014 2015 is, it's nothing more than an
operation that jumps into a topic creates discord on both
sides arguing against themselves to create more clicks. And then
to advertise, they were taking $25, a post $150 a post, there
pretty much like a Russian version of BuzzFeed with just
shitty articles, and clickbait. And yeah, and we saw from the
poor quality that this is not a serious attempt to
disinformation by Oh, it's not professional, but their whole
business model is generating audience, except instead of
being just just bots, and just generating clicks, and then
selling that to people like BuzzFeed, or whoever needs some
traffic for the end of their quarter. They do both sides,
they create the discord in a topic that's hot. So it'd be
cops killing black people, it would be Trump versus Clinton,
whatever it is, and they get on both sides, just to have the
space and then they start posting articles and paid
advertising. And then they propagate that with their bots,
etc. It's a very well known business model. So this guy
shows up on Chris Hayes. A couple of days ago, you know,
Russian? No, the Adrian Chen, the guy who wrote that article
here. Yeah. And well, here's I cut it down to two minutes.
Here's, here's some of what he talked about.
But there's a huge amount of volume, right? I mean, that's
part of the thing here. It's like, it's a fair amount of
labor power and a lot of volume. Right? Yeah. I mean, it's kind
of amazing how many, you know, it's, it was 90 people in the
American department. And so they were tasked with doing posts all
day, every day. So they could they could turn out 1000s of
comments. doing that. And it would be interesting to see,
like, where did they target them? Exactly. And how much
could they actually, you know, overwhelm legitimate comments
on, say, a news site or something. Is it your sense,
this is ongoing. I do believe that it's gotten going some off
the record conversations with some people who have been
claiming to still work there. And, you know, I think that it's
still going on? Yeah, do you think it's going to? I mean, it
seems like in some ways, it's a remarkably effective model.
Insofar as if you just want to, like mess with people, right?
There's like this kind of, there's this kind of salt in the
wound thing happening here. Right? Like you don't
see, Chris can't believe that this has not been a massive
Kremlin undertaking. He can believe that it's downplayed. So
we asked to say things like, well, it's a massive volume,
massive, this massive, just crazy massive,
in terms of what the goals are, the internet lost them enormous
thing, you just kind of be kind of in people's consciousness
enough, constantly, in this sort of irritant way, with 90 people
you're paying, you know, running an operation that doesn't cost
that much money, it does seem like a sort of good bang for
your buck. Well, the effectiveness question which
everybody's talking about now, you know, I, it's my personal
belief that it isn't all of that effective. You know, it's
essentially a social media marketing campaign, with 90
people a couple of million dollars, few million dollars
behind it, maybe on by people who have, you know, a better
grasp of the English language and not a full understanding of
who they're targeting what they're targeting. I think if
you think about that, in terms of just a normal marketing
campaign, that's not going to be a very good bang for your buck.
I think that the the paranoia aspects, right, the idea that
there is this, you know, kind of all powerful, or, you know,
immense propaganda machine that's going on, and that
anybody who's tweeting something that you don't like, or is, you
know, kind of causing trouble on the Internet can be swapped out
to Russia. That is a very powerful thing that's going on
and is really increasing. Now, I think, in the wake of these
indictments in in kind of a worrying way. There's not a lot
of people saying, well, let's let's hold back, you know, maybe
it's not all that big of a deal.
Yeah, Chris got rid of him right after that. He did not back up
the story, that this is, this is really it's like me vo really? I
mean, it's
like any No, maybe Oh, it's not even a big there's, I was put
them in the middle of a huge pack. Yes, yes. Yes, exactly.
And then there's there's the thing that I think needs to be
reported on. I don't know if it's even impossible. But I'm at
because I don't know that it's existing, but I am seriously
doubtful that is not existing, which is that Internet Research
Center type operation in the United States, run by various
maybe partnered, PR companies are old, although I don't think
they should partner with anybody if they're going to do this.
It's kind of a just a sneaky operation. This this would have
to be done it would have to be done by
truck. because they weren't taking money to do anything
other than promote products and services in the groups where
they created eyeballs
Yes, I know I understand that. But I can see a targeted
political only operation or a marketing cut thing that is that
is kind of a an adjunct to the normal marketing process.
Yes, we could actually start that company today we'd be
successful
then thinking about it. We've got the trolls Well, we know how
to do it
and and hold on, thanks to one of our anonymous producers. who
calls himself troll named Ben. We now have pointing to no
agenda show.com Troll factory.us Troll bot factory.com and troll
room.us
Troll room it'd be good yeah the end what you would do is you set
up shop and anybody wants to try this they can do it I think we
could do it and probably do a better job but because of our
contacts and our
and our we should consider this this is not a bad idea would
work
is it was it a legitimate operation. It's not like some
scammers. We're not scammers. And you you job out you have the
same 90 people you have to have a lot of people doing this and
some of them they all have to sign nondisclosure very
strict we have the 1000s who will sign up 1000s
Yeah, but you can't manage that many you don't need that many
and we had to pay how am I
gonna? What since when are we starting a business where we
have to manage people this is not a good idea. Now we do
somewhere along the line management is needed. So all
moody you set up if you set up shop and then you offer the
services of of a social I know this is going on because you see
too many things that that just scream that is going on which is
the Nate do a native advertising works. So you gotta you got
somebody is some agency Edelman, one of the big boys that does a
lot of advertising. Yeah. And you at doing value added your
value added you'd not only they don't have to do the native
advertising, but you set up shop promoting, Hey, did you read the
article about so and so doing this and that? Exactly.
Exactly. Yeah. And, and I know what's going on too, because all
the time I get emails, Hey, I saw your website. Great. Great
post blog.curry.com. Fantastic. Hey, I've written this little
post, you know, that really handles this topic. Maybe you
could put a link to it. Or you could put it in and
oh, yeah, get a lot of Oh, I got this article about it.
And they're sophisticated because I actually know they're
not yes. I've gotten some sophisticated ones where they
say, Yeah, I listened to your podcast in the morning. Oh,
yeah. They're getting more sophisticated.
Well, that's a little more sophisticated. Their pitch, the
real pitch that they have is not it's not convincing.
No, no, it's not to a sane human being. By the way. I think troll
room is maybe even better. Wo MB. is where I trolls live?
Well, we'll think about so How about how about another no
agenda project
that will fail miserably?
No won't ever get them off the ground. we'll wind up writing a
book that
big deal with everything
sizzle and a failure.
How to not try anything and still eat? Try this on precise.
Oh, by the way, I am lining up an interview with Charles Ortel.
The financial analyst who exposed GE for their fraudulent
behavior years back and has been all over the Clinton Foundation.
He also says that there are multiple governments now
targeting the Clintons biggest charitable funds. So they're in
all kinds of trouble. And let's just try this on for size. And
Hillary's running. She thinks and everyone around you think
she's gonna wit shoe into a woman and oh my god, and then
the best thing of all happens Trump, oh, this is fantastic.
This couldn't be much better. But they've been running all
kinds of pay for play scams for a long time. And this is a big
one. We're talking $100 million that went to the Clinton
Foundation from the board members of the company that
wanted to buy Uranium One. We're talking $500,000 from the same
outfit for speeches from Bill is all kinds of money flowing.
Manafort in there Podesta is in there. Podesta John Podesta ran
Hillary Clinton's election campaigns brother Tony was then
running the Podesta group which the minute all this fell apart,
they folded it and I think shredded everything and burned
down the office building. They close the whole thing shuttered
a completely and they were still In the conviction, killer will
win and everything's gonna be hunky dory and then they didn't
win. What is the best tactic in this case, is to immediately
make the Russians look like the bad guys, even though you've
been sucking their schlong taken their money to give them
whatever they wanted. The same with the Saudis and others, but
blame the Russians, because that's the biggest thing that
connections are their Manafort, they're they know they're
screwed, blame the Russians, and then immediately bring in as
much crap as you can. Like this, like the troll factory, it's
total horse crap, this has been a known outfit for a long time,
that if something would have been done about them, or should
have been done about them was so dire,
a number of insiders from the troll factory that have written
up stories a year or two ago, bitching and moaning about the
working conditions and how many posts they had to do a day and
it wasn't worth it. And they weren't getting paid that much
complaining bitterly about what a kind of a dickish operation it
is. So it's not like this is big news to anyone.
Right? But you know, with today's media, and there's even
one, there's one point in this Manafort story, I'm gonna grab
this for a second that caught my eye home, I'm gonna open the
story up see if I can find it here I'm looking for this one
particular. Well, there's a piece there's it's a very long
article, there's a piece in here where Manafort said, hey, you
know, I think that the US media is ready to be duped now and to
make him believe anything, and he's saying this to the
Russians. But it's a couple of years ago. It's not it's not in
the most recent election. Obviously, I can't find that
offhand.
I do remember that when we had first when Manna fort first got
in that we were wondering who the hell this guy was and what
he had anything to do with the you had to wonder who put him in
the position in the trunk to beat the campaign manager for
those few months.
Yeah, the the article explains that I really needed to get to
Trump Manafort told an old friend, the real estate magnate
magnate Tom barrack, in the early months of 2016 Beric, a
confidant of Trump for some 40 years had known Manafort even
longer. When Manafort asked Barix help grabbing Trump's
attention, he readily supplied it. Manafort spell in the
Arizona clinic had ended it hadn't been a comfortable stay.
But but but but he see that it's about his affair. With the
arrival of Donald Trump Manafort smelled an opportunity to regain
his losses. And to return to relevance. It was in some ways
perfect. The campaign was a shambolic masterpiece of
improvisation, that required an infusion of technical knowledge
and establishment credibility. Beric forwarded to Trump's team
a memo Manafort had written about why he was the ideal match
for the ascendant candidate. Old colleagues described Manafort as
a master pitchman with a purchase preternatural predator
natural what is that we're at predator predator natural
ability to read his audience. He told Trump that he had avoided
the political establishment in Washington since 2005, and
describe himself as a lifelong enemy of Karl Rove, who
represented the entrenched party chieftains conspiring to
dynamite Trump's nomination. In other words, to get back on the
inside Manafort presented himself as the ultimate
outsider, a strange case that would strike Trump and perhaps
only Trump is compelling. And so the new sales
guy, and he got here, he always reminded me of like a real high
end sales guy. Yeah, brown
shoes. Totally. So that's how we got in. And, you know, the,
that's that was the strategy. This is not a it's not because,
Oh, I lost, you know, the Russians did it. That's a
distraction from the crime that they truly is the cover up. It's
not. It's not it's really not an issue. And I have I have a
strong belief that Mueller is on to this. And Trump knows it. And
God knows. I don't know. I mean, everyone thinks that Muller is
going to be such a stand up guy. I'm not so sure. You may just be
doing all of this to obfuscate what he's really doing.
Then we'll find out. We'll find out soon enough next year. Yes.
2020. Definitely, nothing's gonna happen before the
election.
Yeah, you mean the 2018 election? Yeah, no, they would
surprise me. But something will happen very soon. Perhaps this
week. We've seen it happen several times. Trump will come
out answer a question about someone whether it's Bannon or
Roger Stone is the Trump kiss of death? You know what I mean?
It's like, well, you know, he's a good guy and you know, good.
Let's see. We'll
see what happens. Yeah. Good guy.
It's always a good guy. We'll see what happens. Now, you and I
both believe that Ivanka and Jared in the White House is a
very bad idea. Certainly, Jared. And you have to know that. I
think the reason why he never got his permanent security
clearance is because he's black mailable. He has debts to
Chinese banks, almost $2 billion. He has huge financial
issues is what I understand.
And be surprising. His dad was kind of the same guy. His dad
went to jail. Yes. So Trump gave a Jared well, he can't fire
Jared because it's this is the apple of his eye. It's a fungus
man.
You know, he he's a huge fan of his daughter. Yeah, I
mean, he's a fan of Ivanka, but not so much Jared. And he can't
he just can't fire Jared. So he gave Jared the the Trump kiss of
death.
Your Chief of Staff General Kelly has recommended ending the
practice of granting interim security clearances to members
of the Trump administration. If that precedes, would you be
willing to grant a waiver to Jared Kushner and one of your
senior advisors?
Well, Jared has done an outstanding job. I think he's
been treated very unfairly. He's a high quality person. He works
for nothing, just so you know, nobody ever reports that but he
gets zero. He doesn't get a salary. Nor does Ivanka who's
now in South Korea long trip. And Jared is truly outstanding.
He's, he's he was very successful in the private
sector. He's working on peace in the Middle East, and some other
small and very easy deals. But Jared Kushner is right in the
middle of that, and is an extraordinary dealmaker. And if
he does that, that will be an incredible accomplishment and a
very important thing for our country. So General Kelly, who's
doing a terrific job, by the way. So that'll be up to General
Kelly, General Kelly respects Jared a lot. And General Kelly
will make that call. I won't make that call. I will let the
general who's right here, make that call. But Jared is doing
some very important things for our country. So I will let
General Kelly make that decision. And he's going to do
what's right for the country. And I have no doubt he'll make
the right decision. Yeah, thank you very much
as the Trump kiss of death.
He could do the the do it himself. He could say whatever
we want. He could give me clearance on the spot.
He's not going to Jared is out. He's out. He got the
point. He could do it if he was such a big fan. Terrific guy.
He's Kelly demand dog, by the way is his nickname.
No, no, no, that's That's nuts. Mattis? Mattis?
Your resume Mattis No, Kelly is no slouch. She's a marine tough
guy too.
He'll he'll cut they'll cut him in seconds. Yeah, they just got
to spin the story I guess
they get it this thing is still He inspired woman she can't you
do anything? Oh yeah,
sure. Well, listen, this happens when she's in South Korea Come
on. Come on. It's a perfect setup. Oh, that
could be yes. weeks and then get rid of the kid and then what can
I could do nothing. Yeah, just gotta
get rid of him. Sorry baby. He's not going to be fooled by that.
My hands are tied. It's general case a general he's a general
Yeah, he does make a big deal out to generals.
He has respect for generals because that was his schooling
was with generals Yeah, with the academy. So he So Jared is out
set the clock
Yeah, I think you're probably right. I mean there's no reason
for it. I mean, we both of us agree that they those two have
to both be gone. And maybe what the thinking is here is because
he does this and she knows what's going on. She comes back
and quits.
Yeah. Wow. Well, I think that would be collateral damage at
this point. Yeah, but
she needs to go to she doesn't need his daughter White House
No, that's why she's in Korea. And that's you know, as you were
there spy Hope Hicks nosing around yeah, that's what's
happening right now is like Well, I'm sure and hope are on
the phone as we speak. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. BBB BBB? BBB? BBB BBB
can't believe. Yeah, it was good. Good little report. All
right. So we have that taken care of.
All the problems of the world are solved.
Now, I do have a couple of years which which we talked about Yes.
BLS stand because they got a couple more FBI stories. Okay.
The FBI stupidly, do you wouldn't know this and you
wouldn't know it if it would. Most people wouldn't know if
they were just watching television. They said there
might be an item or two. But in sports world knows this very
well. And everyone was baffled by it. Which is the overreach of
the FBI. The FBI has gotten involved in investigating
cheaters in college basketball. Oh, really?
Yeah, it was everywhere. You mean seniors like throwing the
game?
Not not throwing the game, which would be really know about
people who they go, dude, here's the trend right now in college
basketball is all these talented. You know, if you watch
the Olympics, they would talk about these two Russian skaters.
Oh, yes. I watched that. And I by the way, I think the older
the 18 year old should have won. But anyway, we can argue it. But
the kid the glow kid, the 1315 year old Yeah. The two of the
announcers were Tara Lipinski, who's was a gold medalist and
some
other guy. He was also a gold medalist. He
knew what they were talking about. And
he said that she she was better.
No, no, it was the other way around. No, he said he said the
18 was better. I agreed with him. And then terrorists know
that the FBI was going to
win. I agree the 15 year old all the way. Well, that's came out
wrong.
I thought she was soulless anyway.
Well, of course, she's a Russian bot. Hello. Did you see your
skate?
Did you see what she was just practicing. And she didn't ever
put it in her to her routine, where she did triple, triple,
triple, triple triple five in a row with arms above her head.
Yeah, five in a row effortlessly. So
that's, that's the threat to America is they're
trying to getting back to the point, which and I'm going to
lose to the connection to the FBI. But the point was, No, I
got it back. The point was Tara, or Tara, I think said that she
says both these girls are done. She says the women right now. 13
and 12 years old could kick both their assets if they were
elected. They were allowed to compete in the Olympics. I
remember her saying that. Yes. And they're doing quadruples.
Damn Russians. So these swabs Look at this 15 year old who's
on the top of the world right now those two girls conveniently
the last girl. By the time you're 17, you're done done
toast? Well, that trend is is it more international than you'd
like to believe? Because what's going on in college basketball
is that there's all these incredibly talented high school
players that are coming into it and you can't go discouraged and
all kinds of different ways. Go. It's been done LeBron James did
it. And a couple of other guys who have gone straight from high
school into the pros. But generally speaking, and I think
a lot of it has to do to get the reputation out there. Most of
the guys go into college and play one year and then go into
the pros. And and that process is called One and Done. Okay.
And because it's such a major trend, this the the guys who are
agents, the agents have been cozying up to these kids.
Ah, okay, you want some candy. And they've
given eye candy, they'll drop 100 grand on a kid, right? Just
to get him in for the one and burn or just give the parents a
new home is kind of like
our podcast network.
So so this has been going on and then all of a sudden there was a
big scandal. And there's a special group that's been formed
with led by Condoleezza Rice and going on and on about this, and
the FBI has come in and finding everybody's from deserve federal
crimes now.
Oh, really? What exactly is the federal crime racketeering?
Well, there is no, no, it's which it's interfering. It's
like a commerce crime. It's like because the colleges get if the
college gets a minimum of $10,000 from the federal
government, anything that affects their bottom line can
now be considered a federal crime. Okay, now, the only good
explanation for this I found on a pardon the interruption of a
two parter. There's an interview going on with Jay bill us who
has also he's a commentator in college sports, and he's also a
especially basketball, but he's also a lawyer. And he actually,
with this two parter, kind of explains what's going on and how
crazy it is this FBI and NCAA dustup,
and one of the questions that comes up is if players are found
to have taken money, current and recent players taking actual
money. Is there any legal jeopardy for them?
Theoretically, there could be although I doubt that At the
federal government would go in that direction. It's a very
interesting legal theory that the feds have on this. And it's
not that federal law has been violated, it's that NCAA rules
have been violated. So for this not to be a crime, we wouldn't
need a change in federal law. We only need a change in NCAA
rules. And the federal government is basically saying
that, by virtue of NCAA rules being broken, the schools are
being victimized here because they are at risk of having to
disgorge profits and and vacate games and they can't, they can't
properly marshal their assets and make decisions on their
assets being the players in the scholarships. Because of these
NCAA rules being broken. It's really a novel theory, I for one
don't happen to think these are federal crimes. But good luck
telling a US Attorney what is or is not a federal crime,
you'll permit me to come back on this. I thought NCAA rules would
just simply NCAA rules that they would never hold up in any sort
of a courtroom necessarily. So who cares if they're being
broken on a federal level?
That's what I think everybody thought, Tony, and there are a
lot of Smarter legal minds than me that feel these aren't
federal crimes, but because these institutions are federally
funded, over $10,000. That means that the feds feel that they can
squeeze this in and make it into a federal crime. But but but
again, if the NCAA changes amateurism rules tomorrow, these
would no longer be federal crimes.
That's interesting.
Well, what's interesting again, at the overriding what is the
FBI doing here? Yeah. And I think it's for I think they've
been suckered. I don't know what how they got brought in. There
was some discussion on of that,
between mission creep to me for FBI totally
mission creep. Good, good to old term that we forgot about over
the years. But I think he's just playing overreach. But mission
creep could be it too, because let's play his second half of
this, because this part, they discussed the fact that they're
making a big fuss over basketball only.
And we and we'd be making a mistake, if if we said this was
just basketball, this is football two, I mean, you know,
Reggie Bush didn't play basketball and agents were
giving him money. And we've seen this before I mentioned in 2010,
North Carolina football players were paid. We've had this
forever. And so when Mark Emmert came out, you know, today and
all of a sudden was acting like college sports as an existential
problem if we don't address this, we've this has been going
on since the NCAA was founded. And so the idea that this is
some new thing that has come up, and we didn't know about any of
this is painfully naive to the point of being willfully blind.
And and this is not just so when this commission was formed by
Mark Emmert that's being chaired by Condoleezza Rice, why it
stopped that basketball is beyond me. This entire
enterprise should be in front of a commission, they should be
making decisions not as to how we're going to address this,
what new rules we need, they should be looking at the
enterprise saying, Hey, do we need changes? Do we need to
allow the players to monetize their name and likeness? Do we
need to allow players to have agents we allow players to have
agents in baseball and hockey? Why would we disallow it in
football and basketball to the point where these things could
be theorized into into a violation of federal law?
I'm realizing much to my chagrin, that our institutions
in the United States and we'll talk about some of them after
our Vblock most of these big elitist institutions, abused
children, abused them for money abused and for all kinds of
stuff, but there's a lot of abuse. Just look at what
happened over the weekend. The lies Yes, on the so called news
networks, just abusing these kids from Florida, from Broward
County, abusing them to no end. Over and over and over again.
Well, this is very common. In fact, there was a report on 60
minutes I believe are one of them, where they were, you know,
the people that play college football are being exploited.
They're not getting any money they're getting, you know, they
all have many of them have a hopes of going into the NFL, but
when you do the math that's low, maybe two or three kids from
each school might get in. But they had this this report and
showing the especially a lot of black kids in the southern
schools in the SEC. I think North Carolina was one of them,
where they they're given kind of supposedly given a scholarship
and a free education, but they never get the education part of
it. They get beat up in these in these games because it's a
violent sport to get tourney's blown out all kinds of bad
things happen. They end up with a bogus degree they end they
were on there saying I had I learned nothing. I don't have a
college education at all. I was it was just all football all the
time. It was a scam. And this is a terrible situation. They
should they should professionalize it if you're
going to play you get paid It's odd
how sometimes our topics intertwine without any previous
discussion of what we're bringing to each individual
program, which we never do. I guess now I know where to put
this clip very short. Some kids who go through the system and we
wind up in a pro league actually did learn something at school
and then steal the FBI as a part of
it from the NFL to the FBI. That's the path one former
football players hoping to take. According to the Chicago
Tribune, former NFL cornerback Charles Tillman is training to
be an FBI agent until him and retired from the NFL in 2016.
After a 13 year career with the bears and Panthers, where he
totaled 38 interceptions. The 36 year old earned a criminal
justice degree while attending the University of Louisiana
Lafayette and meets the FBI is requirement of candidates being
between the age of 23 and 37. Tillman's spent last year
working for Fox Sports but it looks like his post football
career is heading in a new direction. A spot spook, spot to
spook everybody wants to spot spook yet
so what are the chances he'll be? Highly unrecognizable Of
course, Tillman will go undercover, and might bust open
some of these practices, that would be the perfect kind of guy
to do it. Don't you think?
He wouldn't be the perfect kind of guy if he wanted to be. But
since the last topic on the FBI is there as a you don't see this
on the mainstream news, but on local stations is still going
on. And I think I think even the story about the NCAA and the FBI
getting his nose and it has something to do with a trend or
a movement or a Trump thing. I'm not sure who's behind it. But we
talked about it before which is this anti FBI narratives? The
you know, they report about this, especially about the
Florida situation. Yeah. And now I'm not only what we already
know about the Florida situation, there's they're
piling on with a story I heard no place. It was packaged by
somebody and sent around the nation but it was only showing
up on local stations. It was not on the networks that I know of.
I could miss it. But this is the alarming tip, another anti FBI
piece that's floating around
alarming new information out of South Florida. He tipster told
the FBI she knew confessed shooter Nikolas Cruz was going
to explode. She said he had four Instagram accounts where he said
he wanted to kill people. The tipster called Cruz, a violent
child who killed animals, and said she thought he could go
into a school and shoot the place up. She told the FBI
quote, I just want to get it off my chest in case something does
happen. And I do believe something's going to happen. The
FBI is looking into why this alarming tip was not forwarded
to agents to investigate.
Yes, I've heard this and I have a lot more about that for our C
Block.
Well, I do want to buy Do you do you do?
Get do do? Yeah,
I do. I do. I want to mention the letter that you sent. It was
a it was actually in the Sun Sentinel was an article at Dolan
fest have ever seen it never heard this stuff before. from
the, from the kind of full parents of the kid of the
shooter. Yes. And is that what you want to say? Or you want to
talk about or you can talk about that now? Sure. Well, there was
a dig this this kid was kind of, I guess his mom died. And then
his dad didn't give me was a stepdad or whatever the case was
his adoptive mom who had been with for Yeah, and
yeah, and so he ended up living with these two people. Because
the son of the two people brought him in to the family and
he apparently was a model kid once you say but a model you
know as as you know if you're going to bring an adopted kid in
he was fine. He would do did his chores he did where he supposed
to do love the pets. Yes. It was a very, very easy he was like He
loved it at a dice dogs and cats. I'm not sure what, what
told pets they had, but there were enough so that they noticed
that he was great with them great with them, which is
nothing a kid who is a torturer, is with with pets. They're
always mean to him. I've seen kids like this. They're never
nice to pets. But meanwhile, we keep hearing about he kills
animals. And I thought that was a discrepancy that was never
explained to me big one that is major, major discrepancy. And
it's always incorporated into this FBI didn't do their job.
Which is another narrative and I don't know who's putting it out
there. Why they're putting it out there. The to the point
where we have the clip where the FBI apologized for one of the
tips that came in But it seemed it's very I don't like it. I
don't like what what's going
on, you're not going to like what I have to say about you're
going to hate even more I should say what I have for the C Block,
which involves FBI and law enforcement in general,
certainly in this Florida case. But before we do that, a new
item on the show, because you brought it up I think it's a
very good idea before we go into this to the to the B Block, I
wish to do a house ad too. So it delineates you know, here we go.
This delineates the content from more content. But we have our
first no agenda house ad and I look forward to many more.
No agenda diversity podcast analysis it seems like it was a
burden home and its impact that
your guests say for the television read to see stuff
wild conjecture he does maybe that's where he keeps his his
Bugatti.
It was the echo device that was crapping on my USB wine tubes.

Thursday, noon Sunday. No agenda.
There you go. I very first house ads. Tom Starkweather. Thank you
very much. What do you think?
Well, if you want me to be sure, I think it was great,
but little too long.
Well, may have been a little too long. I think you only need 30
seconds.
Yeah, I agree. How sad should be no more than 30 to save valuable
time for other advertisers.
Yes. So 30 seconds and also Tom using that voice stretcher? You
know, I'm not a big fan of it. When it takes it doesn't doesn't
sound real. I mean, a good deep real voice. Yes, is better. And
even if it's not as ridiculously deep as you can make as some
people have. Real voice is better than the fake voice a
fake. It sounds like it's just a fake lousy voice. You really
can't push those. Those devices. I mean, unless it's a
professional one that because there's a box you can buy. Oh,
yeah, I've heard of it. They cost about a grand and you can
tweak your voice and you can make you sound dynamite. But
real that that was done with like a denormalized or some some
one of those things.
All right. Not just say something nice. So Tom doesn't
feel like a piece of crap that you
know, I like everybody. Dighton Tom now I know Tom. He's a great
guy. Just bitching about the one thing
all right, so house ads need to be kept to 33 seconds. And Tom
Thank you very much for kicking that off. And with that, I'd

no executive
producers.
Nobody bothered to nobody liked the idea of that. The 1011 show
or anything and so we had a poor showing no executive producers,
which means the highest Associate Executive becomes the
executive producer by default and that would be James Vincent
Carlson. James Vincent Carlson. He came with $275 from Denver,
Colorado, he sent a note in this was a check Due to spending much
time on medical issues I've not donated for over a year yet I've
listened to almost all the presentations, I have greatly
benefited from the massive amount of information the two of
you have screened for my listening. And I appreciate that
much of your time is used breaking down what is said in
the clips that both of you carefully record. Please accept
my donation of TOS during the $75 You do have the greatest

Anti phi exclamation tequila parody and karma goat if you
don't need to read the next part on the show unless you want to.
Thanks for acknowledging me the unfortunate deaths of Lady
school shooting I was actually thinking about donating because
of the seemed insensitive to ignore such families law or
seemed insensitive do ignore these losses. But you did talk
about it in 1010. And on and on, keep up the good work. If you
ever do a meet up in Seattle. I probably won't come because I'm
antisocial. But it'd be nice to know you care about the great
dimension B experiment that is in the Pacific Northwest. Well.
We're familiar with it. Let's put it that way.
All right. You should come man, you should come even though
you're antisocial. You should give it a shot. Everyone
needs the Antifa tequila parody and karma goat Antifa. Antifa
you've got karma
forgot about that. Antifa so that's a great little good clip.
Good clip. Yeah. Ball Dorton in San Antonio, Texas. 2222 Thank
you for what y'all do. Man listen says 995 first time donor
so I'm catching up. Wish I could hear you don't even listen. He
says 995 I wish I could hear you analyze more.
Q Q anon. No, it's cute. What's going on? Q anon is this guy
called Q anonymous Q anon on 4chan? Who has been posting for
months now? You know, like, I'm an insider. I'm an Intel insider
and I'm Chase chase the White Rabbit and he's giving clues
every day but he's not saying oh, I remember I've seen this.
This is what's gonna happen no, it's like think about the moon
when the spoon does not go to the ground. Follow The Rabbit I
mean that's exactly what it is and everyone's are all yeah Q
anon know if the guy is real maybe he's low level I doubt at
these low level if he's real low level, it's not worth your time
or our sorry,
he won't pass the the lie detector. Which if you're in if
you're an Intel, you're gonna have to take that test
mandatory. Mandatory then that cycle is different for
everybody, but it's at least once a year I think.
But everything I've read I of course have jumped into it. Of
course I've looked at it. But if there's someone serious about
blowing the whistle and telling you what's going on with the
deep state, why doesn't he just say it? Why is everything a
riddle? It's like a bad episode of grace and Frank Frankie it's
just this stupid.
Alright, seems to be a significant news in the posts.
It's not too much like a D douching.
D Do you want?
It was a love ants. I love ants and the goats scream karma.

Joe Biden. No, no, no. The Sassy sassy joba sassy Well, I think
it is just when this spreadsheet I found out that one of the
problems with you know I couldn't read because I only did
two lines. That's only when I blew it up a little bit. Now
there was a vibe. looked at it in a zoomed Have you ever
considered doing a masterclass on on Excel?
Anyway, 201 23 in Copely, Ohio, as usual, great job recently,
but instead of kissing your butts and telling you a great
you are, I'm calling you both out. Oh, and you're dead wrong
about the Olympics, bro stuff. Really? Really? Man. All the
events are fun to watch in primetime. Plus, if those bitchy
dudes weren't so Catty, as they point out every skaters mistakes
it would be more watchable.
I know. I disagree. I really liked mistakes. And I'm pretty
good now calling green yellow or red.oh my god that's yellow.
Definitely yellow for that element. That components. I know
way too much about it. Yeah, my mom was a figure skater. That's
why I'm into it. What she Yes. Yes. So you know what, what one
of the hardest moves is that no one ever claps for is the spread
eagle. Where you know, it's like you have you have your toes
outward and your and your lean backwards and you go on that
semi circle. Okay, that is and I remember this because I went to
my mom as a kid. We went to the holiday and ice and you know
when the stands and it's kind of quiet and then someone does the
spread eagle move my mom's like, wow. Like, shut up. Mom. What

Because I've never heard anyone say spread eagle on these on
this analysis. Nobody does it.

element.
Well, maybe it's because it says it's a lewd sound.
Okay. Anyway, that's your Spro your pro skating tip.
Well, tell me what's the designated triple cow SIL a
triple toe loop and a triple jump.

Let me tell you how that happens. Okay, here I'm doing
the newsletter. I have my collection of photos and funny
cartoons and all these things that I collect during the week
and I keep them in a file that open for the newsletter and then
I started popping them in there and I had to drop first I had to
first get the drunk picture which is you know, the rolling
your eyes bag felt I felt it was fake personally, but it was okay
it was how I felt
at the moment of the picture snap
i You didn't do it on purpose for the purpose of the outcome.
Well, that's good to know. Well, he caught you then I know why
you're rolling your eyes back. He caught so it was a good shot,
give Horowitz credit Top Shot and then I when I was looking
for that photo in the pile of stuff, I saw the Rachel Maddow
Matthau picture which I don't know why I collected that one.
But it's got that baby she's gonna do
manila folder somewhere that says Rachel Maddow pics.
No, okay, I should I don't have to worry about you. That's the
so that I saw that. I saw that picture. And I just decided to
run it and then use the oops wrong picture. And then use your
picture as my my attempted limb here.
Right. And what happens donations don't even include an

man's
you can always amaze your friends when you propagate our
simple formula
formula is this we go out for people in the
mouth right so I tripped upon a an explanation of what happened
in Florida with the Broward County Sheriff's Department and
this school shooter there of course crews and it fits so well
that it all comes razor comes out and tries to slice me across
the face because just everything else falls apart as an
explanation as to what happened with all of these very strange
discrepancies. Just incredible, strange things. By here is I'm
just going to play a couple clips and I'm gonna get into
what I think is going on here. This is the sheriff Sheriff
Israel. And this is an older report. You'll recall we had
that guy who arrived at Fort Lauderdale Airport and then
pulled the gun and ammo out of his check checked luggage and
then started shooting people at the baggage claim. When was
this? This was 2016 not that long ago.
Okay, yeah, I do remember that. I don't remember it being
recent.
Well, that to me it so it's about a year ago. Maybe a little
little bit longer than a year ago. Okay. I do remember that.
Well, here is the sheriff Israel's response after that
shooting Broward Sheriff
Scott Israel sees the parallels between what happened at the
airport and what happened on Sunday night in Las Vegas.
Israel says in a situation like that it's almost impossible to
stop.
If you have a lone wolf assassin that's committed to commit great
Carnage and kill people. There's really not anything you can do
about it.
What it teaches Israel is this In this day and age whenever you
To go out to a public place, you must be aware of your
surroundings after the airport shooting and Broward reports
were issued on how the law enforcement and County's
response could be improved. A range of topics emerged, better
communications, improved radio capabilities for first
responders, and how to handle a massive response of law
enforcement officers from all over the area that wanted to
help
we appreciate your their desire to get to these events in these
venues. But at the end of the day, self dispatching probably
makes it worse than better.
Now Sheriff Israel told me that he feels that training is
obviously the most important thing that his deputies can do.
He also said that law enforcement relies on the public
for tips people who might be acting suspiciously or posting
threatening messages online. Law enforcement wants to hear from
you. He said, he also believes that massacres, like what
happened in Las Vegas should prompt frank and open
discussions among lawmakers in Washington and Tallahassee about
common sense gun control.
So there you have all the elements, training for mass
shooter events, gotta be ready for him better communication
systems, tips, tips, just the tip baby tips, tips, tips and as
your tips and all of that failed, not more than a year
later. So this is annoying everybody including Jake Tapper
from CNN, who I think is doing a very good job at grilling. The
sheriff who I already thought he was quite a cock at that CNN
town hall where he was just, you know, berating the NRA lady that
you like Dana lash, is that they pronounced it lash. loose, loose
lash lash lash.
Yeah, thanks so much.
And, you know, we had all these separately. We have the FBI who
didn't respond. But we had, I think 39 different calls about
this kid being crazy. And Jake really got in his face about it
on November 30. fewer than three months ago, your office received
a call from a tipster explicitly saying that the crews could be a
quote, school shooter in the matchmaking, according to notes
released on that call, no report was even initiated at this
point. Sir, do you understand how the public seeing red flag
after red flag after red flag warning after warning after
warning, they hear that your office didn't even initiate a
report when they got a call saying that this guy could be a
school shooter in the making. How could there not even be a
report on this one? Well,
if that's accurate, Jake, there were there, there needed to be a
report. And that's what we're looking into that a report
needed to be completed, it needed to be forwarded to our
either Homeland Security or violent crimes unit. And they
would follow up on from
your notes, notes, please by your office. I'm not I'm not
making this up. This is from Broward
note. And that's and that's what that the the officer who handled
that is on restrictive duty, and we are at an active internal
investigation. And we are looking into it. I can't tell
you I can't predict how an investigation is going. But we
have I've exercised my due diligence. I've led this county
proudly as I always had. We have restricted that Deputy as we
look into it, you know, you know, the deputies make
mistakes, police officers make mistakes. We all make mistakes.
But it's not the responsibility of the general or the president.
If you have a deserter, you'll look into this. We're looking
into this aggressively and wilt will take care of it and justice
will be served.
Are you really not taking any responsibility for the multiple
red flags that were brought to the attention of the Broward
sheriff's office about this shooter before the incident
whether it was people near him close to him calling the
Chili's?
Jake, I could only take responsibility for what I'm
about. I exercise my due diligence. I've given amazing
leadership to this agent amazing leaders. I've worked Yes, Jake,
this there's a lot of things we've done throughout this. This
is you don't measure a person's leadership by a deputy not going
into these deputies received the training they needed. Maybe
you measure somebody's leadership by whether or not
they protect the community. In this case, you've listed 23
incidents before the shooting involving the shooter. And still
nothing was done to keep guns out of his hands to make sure
that there were the school was protected to make sure you were
keeping an eye on him. Your deputy actually a gun sales. I
don't understand how you can sit there and claim amazing
leadership.
So to me, this guy sounds like a pathological liar. No one else
would say that but a pathological liar. Would you
agree?
Trump would say it
pathological liar. Exactly. So what is going on with the
Broward County Sheriff's Office and in the background of that
know that I think it was Dade County. The the chief of police
there sent out a memo to everybody saying hey, you know,
I know that we're the ones that actually did the responding and
that you know, all the sheriff's guys were cowering behind the
car and but they're taking credit so don't worry about it.
You know whatever's do our, our due will come around just to be
cool about I'm not quite sure what's going on.
Can I do a side to side? Absolutely. So I was down in
Broward County with a friend of mine who's in a vendor with a
lot of patents. A Pax IBM, I have a funny thing is now I
think I have two guys down there like that. But this was the this
was the guy who did panda systems. And he is driving we're
driving around with some just showing me around and I was
talking about the cops and he saw the cops here are the worst.
He says that there's been so much drug business around here
that they are so gun shy, they they're afraid to do anything,
they're even afraid to pull you over. Because there's a lot of
people driving like maniacs nobody seemed to care, because
they're always afraid it's gonna be some drug dealer and the
guy's gonna pull a gun and kill him everyone. All the cops are
just afraid of their own shadow because of the drug dealing and
everything. They were just kind of trained to be super cautious
and all they really ever do is is parking tickets.
Well, that. Yes, I think it goes a little bit further and it's
worse. Now. I remember the minute the shooting happened,
and I don't have a clip of it. But I remember the first thing
that was reported. Unbelievable. This county Broward County was
just voted safest in the entire state. Do you remember those
reports?
Not really. Okay. Well, it came out. I should have looked for
clean. I know everyone talks about Parkland being the safest
town in the state. Yes, there's nothing else.
Exactly. So on the tweeter, we have a new person at the last
refuge to who posted a Twitter thread, you know, when you get
like 24 posts and it's all a thread. And I want to read this
to you because when I read this, it make nothing but sense fits
everything perfectly and is more egregious than then a false
flag. So I'm going to read this. I spent about 18 months in 2012
and 2013 and 2014. Investigating Broward and Miami Dade school
policies on how those policies transfer to law enforcement
practices. My interest was initially accidental, it
discovered an untold story of massive scale and consequence as
a result of initial research into Trayvon Martin and his high
school life. What I stumbled upon was the Broward County Law
enforcement system in a state of conflict. The Broward County
School Board and District Superintendent entered into a
political agreement with Broward County Law enforcement officials
to stop arresting students for crimes. The motive was simple.
The school system administrators wanted to improve their
statistics and gain state and federal grant money for
improvements they're in. So officials, the very highest
officials of law enforcement sheriffs and police chiefs
entered into a plan. And with this he posts a February 15 2012
media advisory from the Miami Dade County Public Schools.
Miami Dade schools as was recently commended by the
Florida Department of Juvenile Justice for dramatically
decreasing school related delinquency in Miami Dade County
Public Schools. The Miami Dade school public districts whatever
has the distinction of decreasing school related
juvenile delinquency by an impressive 60% Six zero in the
last six months of 2012. And then it goes on. We continue
with the threat. As soon as Miami Dade began to receive the
benefits which are both financial and political from the
scheme. Broward County joined in the approach in Broward was
identical as the approach in Miami Dade. And then there's
more documentation. This is all in the show notes you can take a
look at it. He continues it's important to remember this was
not an arbitrary change. This was a well planned fundamental
shift in the entire dynamic of how teenagers will be treated
when they engaged in criminal conduct. The primary problem was
the policy conflicted with laws and over time, the policy began
to create outcomes where illegal behavior by students was
essentially unchecked by law enforcement. Initially the
police were excusing misdemeanor behaviors. However, it didn't
take long until felonies even violent crime violent crimes
such as armed robbery assaults and worse or being excused. The
need to continue lowering the arrest year over year meant that
increasingly more severe unlawful behavior had to be
ignored. Over time, even the most severe of unlawful conduct
was being filtered by responding police. We found out about it
when six cops blew the whistle on severe criminal conduct. They
were being instructed to hide. The sheriff and police chiefs
were telling street cops and school cops to ignore ever
worsening criminal conduct. So they were in a mind they were
encountering evidence of criminal conduct and yet they
had to hide the conduct. There were examples of burglary and
robbery where the police had to hide the recovered evidence in
order to let the kids get away without entering reports. The
police would take the stolen merchandise and intentionally
falsify records to record stolen merchandise. As if they just
found it by the side of the road. They put drugs stolen
merchandise and bags headed to storage rooms and the police
department never signed the recovery to criminal conduct
stolen merchandise was just sitting in storage rooms
gathering dust. They couldn't get the stuff back to the
victims because that would mean the police would have to explain
how they took custody of it so they just hid it. To prove this
was happening. One of the officers told me where to look
and who the victim was. At first I didn't believe him. However,
after getting information from detectives cross referencing
police reports and looking at the found merchandise or
realized they were telling the truth. A massive internal
investigation took place and the results were buried.
Participating in the cover up of people in the media who are
connected to the entire political apparatus. The sheriff
and police chief could always deny the violent acts were being
ignored. That's why the good guys in the police department
gave evidence of stolen merchandise because the physical
evidence couldn't couldn't be ignored and prove the scheme.
From 2012 to 2018. It only got worse in Broward and Miami Dade,
it's almost impossible for students to get arrested. The
staff within the upper levels of law enforcement officers keep
track of arrests and when a certain number is reached. All
else is excused. And it didn't take long for criminal gangs in
Broward and Miami Dade to realize the benefit of using
students for the criminal activities. After all kids will
be let go so organized crime became easier to get away with
if they enlisted high school kids. As criminals became more
adept at the timing within the offices of officials they timed
their biggest crimes to happen after the monthly maximum arrest
quota was made. The most serious of armed robberies were timed
for later in the month or quarter. The really serious
crimes were timed in latter phases of data collection
periods. This way the student criminals were almost guaranteed
to get away with it. Are you still interested?
Yeah, good. I think this explains a lot. It also explains
why somehow Parkland was the safest community. Yes, that's
right. Well, I'll continue the thread is almost over. Now you
can see that the entire process gets worse over time present
corruption the need to hide the policy expands in direct
relationship to the corruption before it. This is where the
school police come into play. Understanding the risk behind
the scheme, it became increasingly important to put
the best corrupt cops in schools the best as in the smartest,
those school resource officers, as they're called, became the
ones who were best at hiding unlawful conduct. Again, over
time, the most corrupt police officers within the system
became the police inside the schools. These officers were
those who are best skilled at identifying the political
objectives and instructions. Those school cops also have
special privileges. It's a great gig. They get free on campus
housing close to the schools, they're assigned to the crooked
as hell and the criminal kids know just how to play and it's a
game and it's an open secret. A lot came out during the earlier
internal affairs investigation. Unfortunately, the behavior
never changed because the politics never changed and it's
still going on and he has some links to some FOIA documents
that are worth reading. For years this has been happening
and no one cared crimes happen students excuse victims ignored.
The Broward County School and law enforcement system is
designed to flow exactly this way. It's just politics. Only
then apartment. Only then the Parkland School shooting
happened for Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, this had
to be an oh shit moment, but not for the reasons the media
initially thought. If people start digging, they'll soon
discovered the shooter was one of those previously Excuse
Excuse students. So I think what we're seeing here is maybe
what's going on at the FBI as well as to get the numbers up to
make sure we look super safe. Just ignore this and ignore more
and ignore more and ignore more. And I think that at a certain
point, these cops are these sheriff's deputies that were so
used to ignoring behavior that when something went down
serious, they froze. They just froze. These guys were no longer
law enforcement officers. They were just corrupt pieces of
crap. And this whole thing fits completely with all the open
questions as far as I can tell.
Who is this guy in
Israel? No. Oh, this guy is the last refuge to at the last
refuge to a class Witter? Yeah, oh, yeah. I'm sure he is. got
tons of documents that corroborate everything is
posting is a cop. And this I'm telling you this irked by this
will lead
take this job so I just put you know, tight everything.
I think this will lead back to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and who
knows where that could lead?
Well, yeah, she's up to her.
But we but we know that we know as an example we know from an
insider The FBI has had sometimes they reinstate it but
they have a six week cycle and we got to have something happen
every six weeks till they lay back on lots of stuff to make
something happen. Usually there's some Patsy who they set
up with a with a with a with a button that says press here to
explode this something and then you know Just two wires in the
back that are empty, and a nine volt battery and the light bulb.
And they got we caught him we got him. Who knows? Who knows
how far this type of behavior reaches and this is what I was
talking about with complete abusive children. These guys,
these guys need to be hung.
Doesn't place was. So the town the safest town in Florida was
probably rife with crime.
Yes, yes. And the kids knew it. Everybody knew it.
Well, see what happens. I think this Do we have any bit you have
any new agenda listeners in the Parkland area?
I don't have no agenda listeners, per se. But I do have
to you know this. You don't have the mailing list in front of
you. No, I didn't. I'm asking
right now. Have you received but yes, I understand. But I was
going to I was going to read some other notes from
No, I'm soliciting right now. So
I got you. Yeah, we'll get people to tell us what's going
on. producer Nathan.
row here in Parkland, it'd be great.
producer Nathan wrote in. So he says I've taught in the hood for
several years, bro. I've worked in Nashville's worst middle
school and high school I can testify to the fact that a lot
of shady shit goes down in those places, is not from teachers,
but always from the admin or district office. They want their
suspension numbers down and the grad rates high. So they find
ways to do restorative justice that's in quotes, and let
aggressive kids go back to class. I had several mentally
unstable kids in my class because the district won't let
us separate them out because it's, quote, unfair, or makes
them quote feel different. They also lower the bar for
graduation, I was told several times to just give kids passing
grades, so our numbers would be higher. The whole system is out
of control because of the parents and liberal watchdog
group watchdog groups. In Nashville, the NAACP said they
would sue the district if their suspensions of black students
went up to where they do stop suspending black students even
if they hit a kid or stole something. It's not the actual
schools, but the political leaders of the districts, they
tie our hands and keep us from being able to do anything for
the kids who need it personally, I'll stay in education because
it needs good people. Thank you. Let me ask you both to stop
blaming teachers for these issues. And when you discuss the
brainwashing I will agree that there are some bad apples but
the curriculum is the problem. I don't think we've ever blamed
teachers ever.
Having I don't think so either. But it's possible that we are
critical of teachers in some situations that reinforces
Common Core, whatever happened to Common Core, by the way is
always
well, it has a new name. It's being relaunched. We had a story
about
weeks and weeks ago, take much to derail it again. Right.
So But Nathan is Nathan is a great teacher. He has got no
agenda thinking going on. So we were happy he's staying in
education. But I think this is, you know, it's the same. It's
look, damn, yeah, believe me later. This is an image this is
a unique American problem. I think it is also, it might be a
global product globalist problem or global problem
might be a globalist problem.
But just like a company company always has to show you that you
gotta have 20% increase in your profits or your performance year
over year. You get all these Silicon Valley companies who are
buying up cheapass Bogut of traffic to increase their
numbers to look good at the end of the quarter. Maybe the growth
is just out of the world right now. And we just stand in place.
But no growth. You get penalized. You have to show
growth everywhere.
I've always found that to be fascinating. The growth stuff.
Yeah, that you have to Yeah. Why can you make build a big great
company and stabilize?
Yeah, no, I guess not.
You know, stabilize your good company and make it nothing but
money making tons of money. You get to the point where you you
can you can run this operation perfectly. It's stable. It's not
going to grow, it's not going to shrink. It's not going to go out
of business is going to provide a service as important to the
community. And you're going to just run it. You can't do that.
That is not allowed. It
gets penalized. You're right. It's not allowed, just penalized
allowed, not allowed. Then, as we were discussing the uncanny
valley, actually, before I get to that, I have two clips here.
The first one is this was kind of interesting. You probably
heard CNN yelling at Fox News saying no lies lies that child
is a liar. Tucker Carlson had Colton Haab H A B from Parkland
on and he said, Well, you know, I was supposed to write a speech
through the town hall for CNN, and they sent the back. So how
about some questions? And then I was like, Well, how about you
just use this question? And so the kid said, the, I think, no,
Tucker put lead the witness by saying, well, so they basically
scripted your question. And then that became a whole thing where
CNN is yelling at, oh, we've never scripted anything for
anybody. Except, of course, the question that Donald Brazil gave
to Hillary Clinton, but we'll just let that slide. But Tucker
did something really weird here. And I'm calling him out on it.
At the request of
a CNN producer, you
sent in a number of questions or statements, you
wanted to make questions that you wanted to ask of the
politicians on the stage, and they rewrote one of your
questions. Is that right?
Yes, sir. So what did what had happened was just four days ago,
I had gotten contacted by a lady named Carrie Stevenson from CNN,
she had asked me to originally I just read a speech, it was going
to be at the town hall at the BB and T Center. So I agreed, I
felt like it would be the right thing to do. Be able to go speak
my part, as well as open eyes to a few things that I thought that
can make this situation a little better. From there three days
ago, so the next day after that we had gotten, I got an email
back from her. And she asked for more of questions rather than a
speech, which I was totally fine with. So I wrote less and less
of a speech and more questions that I wanted to ask at the town
hall. The day after that, it was more of just questions, she
asked for just questions that I would like to ask. So I gave her
my questions. And then yesterday, at about 515, I made
contact with her. And she had asked if I just asked her one
question. So what they had actually done was wrote out a
question for me, because in my interview with CNN, I talked
about arming the teachers if they were willing to arm
themselves in the school to carry on campus. And they had,
she had taken that of what I had briefed on and actually wrote
that question out for me. So I have that question here. If
you'd like me to ask it for you.
Well, but I just want to make sure I have the straight so you
sent them
along, in effect
essay, so he never let the kid read the damn question ever.
Throughout the whole interview, he never came back to it. That's
bull crap. That's just
that's poor formed.
He's just doing that he's abusing that on purpose. He's
abusing this kid to make CNN look bad. And it's despicable.
This shit, it was unnecessary. And now the kids being called a
liar by CNN, for what for what for some stupid ratings. made me
sick. abusing children.
Abuse of the child abuse is today's theme.
So we hear that countries who have banned guns, what do they
not have?
They don't have school shootings don't
have school shootings, which countries don't have school
shootings because they banned guns.
Okay, I'll bite India.
Now. Come on, you know the countries. Australia, Australia
is always on the list. What's What's the other one on the
list? UK in Canada, UK
and Canada. Thank you, Canada. Oh, oops.
I'm sorry. I ruined your life. It's a phrase the shooter
repeated as he apologized to the seven people he injured and
their families. For nearly 12 minutes the Team Read from a
prepared statement. He addressed the four people slain in the
January 2016 rampage as if they were present to Adam wood. I
didn't really know you but I heard you are a good person, a
kind person, I would have taken your tests. I'm sorry, I shot
you. You were not a target to teachers aid Murray, John VA.
I'm sorry, I shot you. You went to school to help teachers to
help others. I didn't know you, but I heard you were a very
bright person. You were not a target. And finally to the
Fontaine brothers. A lot of the time when I'm sitting in my
cell, I pretend that both Dana and Drayden are sitting there
with me. I talked to them wishing they were still there in
August, the crown and defense will make their arguments in
meadow lake, a date and location have not been set to determine
whether the teen will be sentenced as a youth or an
adult.
Oh, yeah. Gee, we didn't hear about that.
Well, there's a good reason. Okay. In Canada, it's illegal to
report on news stories that are in crime stories that are good
that are in the court system in any way, shape, or form. So it's
against the law. There was no legal if Americans don't report
on it. Which Paul, what's going on? I'm
not familiar with this rule. Oh, yeah. So there's a school
shooting and then everyone says, oh, there's a school shooting
can't report on it because you know, we don't know or you don't
know. Pretty much. That's the law. Yeah, this is what you get
when you have a country without guns. because you get stupid
laws like that. Jeez, I didn't know that well that's but still,
I think the reason why you don't hear about it is because there's
nothing more you can do. They've just given up that we got their
guns already. So we lose a few kids now and then whatever no
problem no need to yell for anything. We don't need any
extra special I don't hear any any screaming now that it's in
the court system and apparently can be reported on. I don't hear
any screaming for improvement or how did you how did this kid get
this illegal gun? Old news never reported? I've never heard it.
They're saying yeah, okay. Oh, very disappointed. Canadians
have a very strange system about how they report on on crime by
the presses of their handcuffs.
I was not aware of this. Well, I'm sure boys bitching about it.
So with this comes and I'm going to start wrapping this up. Now
our final part of the topic is about the combination of all of
the issues of kids with that, you know, single moms or single
parent no parent video games in combination with psychotropic
drugs. I got a lot of different emails from people about the
about the video games being used as simulators a note from one of
our producers. Anonymous producer gents great show, the
Army and Air Force actively preferred to recruit gamers.
Most of the new unarmed aerial vehicle platforms have
controllers based on the Xbox two of my Unreal Engine
developers says you really think it's unreal, or you really don't
know maybe have worked on government combat Sims in my
time setting up weapons trade shows at the National Harbor. I
have seen this firsthand. PS John, I love the Last
Starfighter. It was and then we have a great article written by
one of our producers. See, where is it dude named Josh? Video
games and predictive programming in the 21st century. But what he
gave me in addition to that, which I've put in the show
notes, it's under, it's under SSRIs. Now it's under SSRIs.
It's under simulators. Yeah, simulators. He gave me I think
six or eight FOIA requests Freedom of Information Act
requests about military involvement with video games,
and it's redacted. But man, it's unbelievable. America's Army
Medal of Honor. Medal of Honor Airboard Medal of Honor. Sony
video games, Playstation. See launch pad. I mean, all of these
guys don't know anything about these games. I do remember that.
We talked a lot about Ubisoft being a very interesting
company. So there's a lot of Ubisoft in here. Ghost Recon
Redstorm Halo two,
missing the premise here that all of these coming all of
these companies are FOIA requests all of
the name of a company in a FOIA request. I don't know why. Okay,
all of these had money and or direct contact with the United
States military for the making of their game, either they were
paid in part. You didn't hear me say it. Either. They were paid
in part or they had very close contact with them.
Would it be any different than a movie company getting military
help?
Exactly the same thing. But that but they were if you look at
these FOIA requests, they're very interested in the the
simulator effects and real realism realistic nature of the
video games. It's just a side note that simulators are indeed,
that games are considered good simulators by our military
industrial complex. Yeah, they call it a Call of Duty. And I'm
just saying, Can you because it's call of duty in there? Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we'll call it duty, which is the really great game.
Yeah, the in there. It's in there. It's in their big
Guardian article actually about it as well. Because whenever you
say this in connection with anything violent, people lose
their shit in our audience. Ooh, but there's simulators, you may
just be a good, a well trained shooter doesn't mean you're
gonna go out and shoot anybody but you add the drugs into it.
That's when it becomes problematic. And big news came
out this week about SSRIs antidepressants. It was I can't
believe it wasn't touted as large as it was in the UK.
Because they really did bid our big articles on this. This is
an important study because it's the final answer to a long
lasting controversy about when antidepressants work for major
depression. We found that almost more commonly prescribed
antidepressants work for major depression and for people with
moderate to severe major depression. And also we found
that some of them are more effective than others or better
tolerated than others.
So that was the leader of the study. His name is Syd Brioni.
And the headline everywhere BBC big antidepressants work for
treating depression study finds, you've got to hear some of this
stuff. So this is from an article written about the study,
but it takes language directly from the study, it's a little
easier to read. Antidepressants work some more effectively than
others in treating adults with major depressive disorder
According to authors of a groundbreaking study, which
doctors hope will finally put to rest doubts about the
controversial medicine. Our study brings together the best
available evidence to inform and guide doctors and patients in
their treatment decisions, said that guy Dr. Andrea Cipriano,
University of Oxford and Oxford health biomedical research.
Through examining trials involving nearly 120,000 people,
including patients taking 21 commonly prescribed
antidepressants, the research found all the drugs were more
effective than a placebo. The findings are not applicable to
people with treatment resistant depression. However, this is
great. Because let me just read that again. Through examining
trials involving nearly 120,000 people, including patients
taking 21 commonly prescribed antidepressants, a research
found all the drugs were more effective than a placebo. The
findings are not applicable to people with treatment resistant
depression. The hell is that? Sounds like
Don't ya got into the drugs?
Sounds like there doesn't do the work for everybody? Certainly
not. The findings are relevant for adults experiencing a first
or second episode of depression, the typical population seeing in
general plaque practice. However, this does not
necessarily mean that antidepressant should always be
the first line of treatment, no, of course not. So then, you
know, they they go into this meta analysis, which included
two double blind PLACEBO real antidepressant tests, and they
find that some antidepressants are more effective than others.
Turns out, the majority of the most effective antidepressants
are now off patent and available in generic form, which is
condemning by itself. They keep coming up with new
antidepressants, but it's really the old ones, the original ones
that work the best, but they're, they're off patent. So they
don't want to sell those to you. So they're doing other things to
it, but they seem to work. They're less effective than the
ones that originally were put on the marketplace, but they can
make enough money.
Well, they can make enough money. They've been buying the
generic drugmakers all along and now you can mean you can buy,
for example, Tamiflu is expensive antiviral it cost
about $150 a prescription and the generic cost about $150 per
prescription. This is not true. Okay. They've been buying these
generic is a scam, but this should be arrested.
Thank you. Well, that's good enough for me.
But you've been you drifted way off from the topic you are on?
Well, here's some because well, we'll talk more about school
shooting situations.
Finally, I'm sorry. And I think everyone in school is on who
shoots schools are on antidepressants. So I'll just
finish with the last paragraph. But importantly, the paper
analyzes unpublished data held by pharmaceutical companies and
shows that the funding of studies by these companies does
not influence the result, thus confirming that the clinical
usefulness of these drugs is not affected by pharma sponsored
spin. Okay.
Yeah, and if you believe that you're an idiot is what they
should have put at the very end.
Back to School shooting.
We have a situation in Berkeley high apparently we have a same
size as parkland. How many? How many officers were at Parkland
Do you remember was the one guy right the guy wouldn't come in
and there's a couple of dudes hanging around.
Yeah, the one school resource officer for 3000 kids and three
deputies who showed up and also stood behind the car.
I thought the numbers were interesting. Because here's
Berkeley high story story and you can play them they want you
to stop it. When I'm going to tell you to stop it. I couldn't
clip this doubly but he didn't.
Berkeley High School is about to lose two of its campus security
officers because of budget cuts. District leaders say they don't
think the move will jeopardize student safety. But students
tell KTVU as Rob Roth, they think it will.
Well, many schools nationwide are discussing ways to increase
security and the Wake up the mass shooting in Florida,
Berkeley high school security force is about to decrease the
reason budget cuts students say that's a bad move. In general,
it's not the smartest idea. Because what I mean, it's just
kind of logical. If there's a danger, it would make sense to
have more people who can respond as soon as the shooting. Okay,
can
you stop for a second? I was listening to this. Turns out
Berkeley has about the same is the same size as one of these
ridiculous I think is ridiculous to the schools of this big
3000 students give or take?
Yeah, 3100 How many guys you fired two or they got rid of two
of the guys for budget? Because how many of you just said, Guys
that an offhanded? Guess what kind of what kind of police
state do we would we have in Berkeley? How many officers are
there?
Well, if it's a budget cut, I would say it would have to be
five or 10%. Because that's what you do with budget cuts. So I
would say 25 total?
Oh, wait too high, but higher than I would have guessed. Keep
playing
more people who can respond as soon as the shooting took place.
We're firing safety officers of anything. We should be hiring
more.
Do you feel like you're less safe because of that? Yes, I do.
The Berkeley Unified School District Board of Education this
week voted to reduce the ranks of the unarmed campus security
force of Berkeley high from the current 15 officers to 13
Beginning next school year. Berkeley has a student
population of about 3100.
Okay, now I'm thinking this Berkeley Berkeley home of
question authority home of Fuck the police bumper stickers. More
perhaps, where you call a policeman a pig. But to kid they
want more cops and right when I was a kid, there wasn't I mean,
I never went to a school bigger than about 1200 kids. But we
didn't want a bunch of cops roaming around the school.
No, no.
Ah, so Berkeley home of again home of the use of the word pit
pig and lewd bumper stickers. Why are these kids want to be in
a police state? Which is what that amounts to? Is seems to me
15 Cops, you said 25 unflatteringly. Well, I just did
a calculation I mean I just like but but which was a smart way to
go.
I find I find it odd that both schools have similar student
body count.
One has the one cop one guy. Yeah, and this guy just goes got
15 Although that one cop was corrupt and and your corruption
thing makes a difference. But what what I just baffled by
these kids? I mean, they're all dimension B they all hate Trump.
They all hate the police. They all hate all this stuff. But
they want more cops. Yeah,
they got to make up their mind. I thought the cops were racist.
I'd like them to make up their mind to
Yeah, we're in a we're in an odd situation. Where, you know,
people are screaming, screaming, screaming you know, hate the
cops. Black Lives Matter. Hate the cops go away. Cops, no cops,
and then please more cops. And then the cops you know, some
cops are screwing around just to get better numbers. It's all
abuse of the children. That's what it is.
I have the last shooter report, which was the overview from CBS
on the weekend. Which kind of I think takes us out of this topic
because I sent mentioned something about the school
shooter in the newsletter. I get feedback with that single word.
Ugh. Alright. reflecting their feelings about this topic.
Well, there are new questions about the law enforcement
response to the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School 70 people were killed in the Valentine's Day attack. A 19
year old former student is accused of opening fire with an
AR 15 rifle he had purchased illegally. Omar via franchise in
Parkland, Florida.
CBS News has learned that Broward County authorities are
looking into the possibility that three additional sheriff
deputies did not go into the school to confront the shooter.
I'm Scott Peterson deputy Scott Peterson resigned to this week
from the Broward County Sheriff's Department after
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE ARMED school resource officer stayed
outside the school in a defensive position while the
gunman was still shooting inside the building.
My wife and son
go to that school. My
wife's a teacher there. She's assistant athletic director
for officers who did go into the school like Coral Springs police
sergeant Jeff Heinrich, the emotions are still raw. Heinrich
was on the baseball field when he heard gunshots. His wife and
son were on campus by the grace of
God when they walk down the hallway, they found each other a
little shelter in place.
Officer Chris Crawford was on patrol when the shots rang out.
The Marine veteran says he grabbed his rifle and went into
the school bracing for shootout.
My philosophy is, if I got there while you're still shooting, one
of three things is going to happen. He's either going to be
killed by me, I'm going to get killed by him. Or I'm going to
be helping a Wounded Child.
Officer Tim Burton is a 12 year veteran of law enforcement.
Burton says last week shooting will haunt him.
This one's This one's pretty tough. I didn't kill it can't
get rid of this one. And notice the Marines saying the fourth
option which was to kill stop shooting, put his guns down and
doors hands in the air was never mentioned. Seemed like a
possibility I could have could have
been? Well, the programming is out the Mind Control programming
that'll get us out of this segment for sure. Van Jones on
CNN making some fun comparisons.
I think that the NRA, despite your kind words about them has
played a net destructive role. For people who are trying to
solve this problem. There is a sense of fear and terror among
people who are in elective office, that if they even
entertain certain notions that the NRA is going to drop a ton
of bricks on them. And so we haven't had the kind of
innovation, experimentation trying of things. I don't know
if any of the things that are being proposed would make any
difference at all yet, but we should know more than we know,
right? Because we should have been able to try things and we
haven't been able to. So now what's happening is you have a
whole generation of young people who essentially see the NRA as
their enemy. To them. The NRA is like the kk k is just some
hostile force that is against them that's risking their lives.
And you have young people now they're not fighting for their
future. When I was a kid, my big problems were bullies and
homework. Those are my big problems. I'm still traumatized
by both. But these kids are they're not fighting for their
future. They're fighting for their right to survive to have a
future. They're fighting for their right to stay alive. And
they do not see the NRA as a friend in that fight.
Yeah, the whole NRA thing is Yeah, I have
an NRA clip, the head of NRA was at CPAC. And I think what he had
to say no one wants to pay attention to just like he says,
I think it's very poignant is actually goes so far over the
line in terms of what is acceptable by second amendment
enthusiast, then I'm actually shocked that people don't bring
this up.
And oh, how socialists love to make lists, especially lists
that can be used to deny citizens, their basic freedoms.
And now some people are calling for a new list of anyone, anyone
who has sought mental health care to deny them their Second
Amendment rights. Look, and this is really important. And you
never hear this on the national media. So I want to say it to
all of you now and I need your help and telling all of America
this because it's the truth. The National Rifle Association
originated the National Instant check system, it was our bill.
No one on the prohibited persons list should ever have access to
a firearm, no killer, no felon, no drug dealer.
And anyone adjudicated as mentally incompetent or
dangerous to society should be added to the check system and
prevented from getting their hands on a gun. But but watch
what I released three years ago, and the media machine all over
the country, say so callously and completely ignored it. Watch
this. Here's what the media won't tell you. The NRA has
fought for 20 years with the records of those adjudicated
mentally incompetent into the National Instant check system.
And until the politicians demand that they are submitted, killers
who are legally prohibited from owning firearms, will walk into
gun stores and pass every background check they take. So
if they really wanted to make a difference, the media would lead
every newscast with a reminder that the names of millions of
violent felons criminal gang bangers and adjudicated mentally
incompetent and dangerous people are missing from the background
check system.
I'm very confused now.
It goes on and on and on with even more examples of the stuff
the NRA has done Yes, you should be confused. That's the idea.
And the whole thing makes you wonder who's really against the
guns are these people sincere are they actually want this this
violence to continue so they can point the finger at the Republic
and
what what evidence is there that lawmakers have not had thwarted
the NRAS efforts to get mentally incompetent people on on their
list, whatever
he goes on did that that movie that he made three years ago
goes on for about 10 minutes because I need to watch that.
Okay. That would be useful. But the point is, is that a lot of
the stuff that people say they want to do they blame the NRA
because all the men are giving everybody so much money. So
that's why they're not doing it. Maybe the NRA is two faced in
their art they are trying to do they're saying one thing and
doing another but I don't really think so.
I gotta look into this. That's very interesting. Especially
since he said, Well, you know how socialists and communists
like to make lists, but they seem to be making the list.
I know that it's somewhat ironic very here's another I have
another NRA clip which which would be good to lead.
I have the same clip I'm happy to play yours because I for me,
it was an ask John a business economic question.
What Where did you get the clip?
Minus 17 seconds. Yours is 28. Right? But just so you know,
it's the exact same title. My clip says NRA discounts your
clip says NRA discounts.
Yeah, that's quick. We'll play yours.
Hertz is the latest company to end a partnership with the NRA.
The company announced in a Twitter message that they're
ending their rental car discount program with them. MetLife
insurance, Wyndham hotels, Avis and budget are also pulling
their affiliation with the group over its response to the
Parkland Florida
shooting.
All right, is yours different?
It's the same but it's different
for companies are cutting ties with the NRA amidst the public
outcry after that Florida School shooting. We told you about
several of them yesterday, and today, Hertz Rental Car and Best
Western hotels announced they're ending their discount programs
for NRA members, moving company allied Van Lines and did a
similar program. Insurance Company MetLife has also decided
to cut ties with the National Rifle Association. And finally,
Silicon Valley based anti virus company Symantec stopped its
discount program.
This really interested me from a business economic perspective is
a Do you think that these types of boycotts, which are the
smells of Media Matters, you know, it smells, rock reeks of
all of those guys all over this? Does it aid make a difference to
the NRA and its members be? Could it potentially backfire or
economically hurt the companies who are publicly denouncing the
NRA? And these programs are well known. It's like the AARP or
even the the ARL has right
disagree with you. Okay. I never heard of any of these discount
deals.
Are you an NRA member? No. More than they're not marketing it
very well.
That's what I'm saying. That's the first thing that came to
mind. When I heard this clip. I said, what? I can get a
discount, it hurts. If I'm an NRA member, I can get a discount
here. I get discount there. I never knew there was discounts.
I know there's discounts for AARP and Costco.
Yeah, well, America, the amateur radio relay Relay League. Yeah,
we have car rental and health and, of course, health
insurance. We're old geezers on the oxygen tank. We have health
insurance through, you know, well, I don't have it through
them. But you can get all kinds of stuff. I didn't know NRA, but
it makes sense. They have it. It's you know, it's
now that they mentioned it, but I had no clue. I had no idea
that there was all these deals. But do you think you could get
if you remember
now, do you think that this could backfire? Or that people
will now go and boycott those companies? Because they're
boycotting the NRA? Could there be any?
I think I think they got them painted into a corner. They
don't have I mean, that's been doable. I mean, the last time
that anti boycott one went the right way was when Sean Hannity.
Right, right. Some guys pulled out and they made a big stink.
And now this guy's got a bunch of flack, and they had to start
advertising again. The NRA is under his current leadership.
And again, I think you just pointed it out. I noticed I did
notice, but I didn't think about it as a bad thing. But the guy
talks about the communists and socialists want to make Listen,
we want to make lists. I don't think this guy that runs the NRA
is really that good. I think he's a bonehead. I mean, in
fact, everything that whole speech, there's nothing worse
than a speech that this guy gave me the speech that he gave it a
CPAC there's nothing worse than a speech where you tell
everybody all this stuff that nobody knows all you're doing.
It tells me that you haven't been doing a good job of getting
the word out that you've been doing this because it was all
news to me.
Like God the NRA is almost like a podcast. No one's ever heard
it.
Yeah, it reminds me of other things I've seen it reminds me
Microsoft in the De when they were doing that, during the days
of Vista, where they did one of the stupidest ad campaigns ever,
it was they came out and they showed, they said, here's the
new operating system of the future. And they had these and
they were showing people some of the crazy stuff you can do with
this new operating system of the future, and everybody was jacked
up. And then they like took the curtain away. So this actually
VISTA is not the operating system of the future. So not so
whatever ad says that we're so stupid, that we can't even
promote this operating system in the future when it's right in
front of you. Because it just kind of apologetic. It's they
don't realize it's an apology. I think it's called an apology.
This, they don't even realize when they're doing it, that
they're pointing out how crappy they are at managing their own
business. And I think that that's what this guy at the NRA
just did with this speech. Well, holy shit. And so then now all
this bad stuff happens to get all the discounts removed from
these wimpy companies that roll over with you know, you just
blow on him? Well, he's I don't think there's any feedback
because I don't think the NRA has got the clout that they had.
Yeah, I don't think they have the money either. I've just
we've looked at the money. We've looked at what they put into
politicians pockets. And, and again, it's all just abuse. It's
abuse by mainly Democrats, but Republicans are doing it to
abusing children to go yell, hey, hey, ho ho NRAS got to go,
which is completely meaningless. And they just want to make every
you know, they're always pointing to the people who are
receiving money who received campaign money. And oh, gee,
they're all Republicans, so don't vote for them in 2018.
That's what this is all about. And sadly, we are the lone voice
in the wind, telling the children what's going on. So if
you have children, you need to weaponize them against this
egregious
right now that you bring that up. I do have one more clip that
involves guns. The theaters around here Cinemark chain has
decided to ban bags can't come in with your purse unless the
person had some of the let's bring in a purse but most of
them won't even
break. Can I bring my clutch?
I don't. I don't know. Okay, probably not. Oh, it's a fast a
great accessory. But there's a very interesting little twist in
this story. That at least for me, was a very bad sign. This is
I'm sorry,
you're tall about 13 inches. If you've got a handbag like this,
you won't be able to bring it in. If you've got one even like
this Well, that's too wide. You'd have to leave that home as
well. The decision comes as the national discussion takes place
surrounding gun safety just a week after 17 died in a high
school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and six years after 12
were killed during a Cinemark theater shooting in Aurora,
Colorado.
I think it's a good idea just for the safety of citizens. With
everything that's been happening recently. I think a smaller bag
is definitely a better idea.
If an organization is making an effort to keep people safe, and
that this is the step that they would like to take then I
support that
Cinemark theater says the large bag ban also doesn't apply to
diaper bags. Any kind of medical back.
Why draw? Why would want to search all the diaper bags could
be something lethal in there.
But you concern me about this clip was the good Narrator The
guy who's doing the report his terminology for what's going on.
He says this is about gun safety. Gun Safety has got is
about gun safety. This is this is not about gun safety.
We'll be we'll be handing out a gun to everybody in the theater
and showing them how to how to use it. Yes, it's a good point.
That is a word that's going to Yes. The meaning of the word.
You're taking the word gun safety and you're you're just
exploiting it as is one way of putting it but more than that
you're twisting it. So gun safety is now a bad thing.
I think we should track this this May this may get legs.
And it reminds me of what is the NRA right. What is the NRA? What
was the purpose of the NRA
gun safety?
Yes,
I happen to know that. gun safety is not their slogan.
Besides gun safe. What is their?
What is their slogan? Let's go take a look. Well, I
know again, safety is one of their main reasons to be Yeah,
that's what they're talking about. But when the guy says
that this is about gun safety, it's not about gun safety.
Let's see if they have a slogan. Hmm. They don't have a slogan.
We need to come up with a slogan for that.
No, they need they need a new guy and a new slogan. Now that
guy
is no good. And they need a slogan. How about just a slogan?
I'm looking at their website right now. Nothing. Nothing at
all. That's really That's dumb. See,
your slogan gun safety is our business would be good slogan
just thought that yeah
I would like that I would like that they're not well you know
what they also do okay they have the carry guard thing that's a
that's a big deal for that is what they're always promoting
that's what that Dana lash woman does and that's if you carry the
gun you want to get the special carry guard insurance from the
NRA so that if you kill someone in self defense you have the
best lawyers to to the that is they don't
need yeah this is one of the this was that may be where
they're going after the operation
there you go the gold standard and carry training so you get
training you get these special insurance. This is what everyone
should want really it should be mandatory. Get the insurance
this is what it all bitching about? Yeah, just like a car.
Okay, it gets some insurance, which I'm sure it's not cheap,
but through a big membership. You're right, maybe that's what
they're going after. Try and get whoever is behind. Let's see.
Lockton. See Lockton affinity administers comprehensive
personal firearms a bill of liability insurance, so they're
going after probably trying to get locked in unless they may be
specific. It's not available in New York. Locked in?
Yeah, there you go.
Privately Owned independent insurance brokerage firm, haha.
We got to put the independent guys out of business, maybe
an unknown is something to it, there's something going on. But
play the beginning that dead same clip again, you'll hear the
fires, the gun safety thing is very, very beginning. It's like
it catches you off guard and puts it in your brain.
It's a bit too tall, about 13 inches. If you've got a handbag
like this, you won't be able to bring it in. If you've got one
even like this. Well, that's too wide. You'd have to leave that
home as well. The decision comes as the national discussion takes
place surrounding gun safety.
Oh, yes. national discussion around gun safety. Good catch.
Good catch. I think we'll see more of that.
I think you're right. I think these are going to start to
Discom Bob relate to the concept of gun safety with the shooting?
Yep. Well, I tell you, if if my kid were here now and the kid
were younger, in school, whatever I mean, all I can see
is law enforcement. Not all law enforcement. But what we're
seeing here is law enforcement, not caring about the kids, not
protecting the kids, and actually saying, We don't want
you to be able to protect your kids. So you can't have any
guns. It's something wrong with that. I think this may be the
time to actually be ready to protect yourself because it
doesn't seem like you're being protected any other way. And
isn't that the point?
Yeah, that's the point. Maybe you should get that insurance
from the NRA is a good idea.
I'm gonna show my school by donation to
no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh,
yeah, that'd be fun
but I do have a few people. Thanks. Starting with Douglas
are actually with Paul. Like this is polish, polish, polish,
Czech, Czech,
I think pal, Czech,
I think posted this post. I was noticing the guy we gotta check.
One mentioned one of these notes here. It was Michael Moss, sent
in a note he wants to I think he's I don't think he's on the
list because he sent me this note. It says Adam says you
blocked another email address of mine, I suppose has been a
mistake. That email address has been hijacked or I've been drunk
at some point and written you something a little off. Yes. And
you rate please review the original email below. Let me
know if there's an issue. And he goes on about. He donated some
amount, but he's got a knighthood coming. And I'm not
going to read this thing. But I will say he does have some
requests, we'd need an explanation of neuro linguistic
programming performative, which we we do once in a while.
Signaling is a social phenomenon virtue signaling for newer
listeners. Nobody knows what we're talking about he claims.
Anyway, he is.
I think you can just do a Bing search on virtue signaling and
performative I think you can get information pretty quickly. It
should lead you to Professor Jim Pennebaker, at University of
Texas. You can also go to Bing it.io and search for those exact
terms you'll see everything we've discussed about them with
links to the clips in the no agenda player.
Good. I believe that I didn't block his email address. I think
it was the the squirrel mail was down for a day
because the error message said blocked personal block list like
okay,
that's possible. Yeah, now we can you put him on the nightless
sir.
Oh, he becomes a knight today. Oh, good. We didn't have any
This is nice.
Michael Moss. Okay, hold on. If he's blocked you blocked. I'm
looking at
Michael Moss. Yes, and he becomes Michael Moss or Michael
Moss. Okay. He's on the list. A list you want to be on people.

devora.org/na
Get an interesting clip here. Hello, entre mon you know that
marks you busy we had talking about? He's you know, they might
be able to get him?
Yeah, no, actually, I had another thought about that. Like
one. They might be out to get him and they're gonna use the
hashtag me too. But I was also thinking maybe we discussed this
after the show. Maybe he knows that there's a hashtag me too
moment Coleman coming for his organization to get to get out
possibly for him. So he's like, Well, why don't just take the
$600,000 hit and get thrown out. You know, take the billion
dollars when I have to sell the league and at least I won't be
shamed as being a an a hole.
There's a new twist to do with not not that not that part, not
not a real twist. But where this whole thing came from where he
made his criticism that got him the $600,000 Fine, I think is
kind of interesting
and airs live in though Micky Arison one time find half a
million dollar for getting into some wine and saying something
about Donald Sterling on Twitter and then this guy you got a
situation where Mark Cuban is just on Dr. J's podcast. He's
like, Oh, help an old timer. I'll do his podcast. I'll do a
favor. Next thing you know, bang it cost me $600,000 Did you even
know Dr. Jay had a podcast doesn't have a podcast.
Thanks so that gave me the ISO
who does Isn't have a podcast at this point, I'm
sure. Yes.
Who doesn't have a podcast at this point? Yes,
it's a fine thing I invented there. It's just a commodity
piece of shit. Everybody's got one just like is like a belly
button or another piece of your anatomy. Everybody has one.
That's right. It's true.
That's true. And I thought I was also surprised Dr. J is an old
basketball player. Sure.
Julius Erving 70 Sixers. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think I think
we're still technically kind of in our in our hashtag me too
moment.
And now it's time for your sexual harassment update.
Yeah, and well, there's a couple of new cases that came out with
it one that's very surprising to me, but we start with well,
actually, this is from the UK children rights activist Peter
Newell jailed for child abuse. That's not really a hashtag me
too, but just throw the pedo bears in there. Then we have
Lawrence Krauss famous atheist and liberal Crusader, and then
certain whisperer networks a well known problem with women
coming forward alleging sexual harrassment will his skeptic fan
base believe the evidence?
Never heard of it? I've never
heard of the guy either. But this next guy caught my eye
because it was an article from the Austin American Statesman.
Women describe 14 years of Austin opera maestro's lewd talk
and touches right here in Austin.
Oh no.
Yes. In the weeks since Austin operas conductor was fired amid
allegations of harrassment seven women have come forward to
describe a culture of permissiveness that they say
allowed Richard Buckley to touch women inappropriately and engage
in lewd talk because he was a star.
I liked us.
Well, here's what they say. The women told the American
statesman that Buckley who served as the OPERS, conductor
and artistic director for 14 years, regularly touched women's
buttocks, commented on their bodies in a sexual manner, made
crass jokes and gave employees unwanted massages,
bopper, executive size thing keep coming into the picture,
like code.
Oh, well, it's a star thing. I'll tell you. Opera executives
and board members knew about Buckley's behavior, but failed
to intervene because of the celebrated maestro's talent, the
women said, now this is very interesting. They I mean, first
of all, a great opportunity which they didn't do the
Statesman to bring in the Trump grabbing by the pussy when
you're a star. I mean, come on. What a fail. That is. Yep. And
this massage thing. It's like a show business thing. It's what
groupies do when they want to sleep with you. And you're
backstage and they come up and like, everyone's hanging out,
whatever. Like, Hey, can I give you a neck, back rub and neck
massage it that's the code. That's the signal. Now why he
was doing it. And he got his signals mixed up clearly. And
why isn't the board resigning? If they knew about this?
Oh, they should go. They should all go. In fact, they should
fold the whole Austin offer. The whole operation
should be shut down.
Shut it down. By what? Austin goes to the operas and play.
They play crappy Country and Western on that street. What
street is that? J Street D Street? I can't remember Sixth
Street. Sixth Street State Street. Country Western
constantly on that street. One little band after another? Maybe
brought by OPERS? No good.
Although I have to say I've a happy algo story. Actually, let
me close this segment.
And this completes your sexual harassment update.
didn't even ask me if I had a clip.
Can you close it? Oh, I'm so sorry. You typically you don't
have a clip for? Do you have a clip? No. You're horrible.
Horrible, man. I had a great algo moment the other day, first
time, first time. In all my years that an algo did something
for me that I thought was simple yet impressively cool. But the
pen No, the Spotify app on my phone when blue blue, which it
rarely does gave me a notification. And it said you
listen to Tony Bennett quite often. He'll be playing at the
moody theater in Austin. On April. No, March No, yeah, April
29 or something like that. Click here to buy tickets. And I
clicked and I was one of the first ones and I got great floor
tickets right in the front by the stage. That doesn't happen
often.
That was a service. That was
the that is the first time I was impressed by the algo. here's
the here's the interesting thing. Tina got. She got a
message from Spotify. Only her message was go see, you know,
this pokey dog country band because you live in Houston now.
I don't know. The algo screwed up with her.
Oh, that's bad. Yeah. You're nowhere near Houston. No.
But I was very impressed by that. I mean, it's so simple to
do it, but they did it.
And it worked. Well. That's your one shot. You had your that was
your thrill. That's it. It's all downhill from here. I would
guess.
I have a robo Rosa update. All Morosa the Trump bot,
right? Oh, yes, we need to keep this keep it on top. This is
from Dorian she watches religiously. She said second to
the last episode aired last night. You can tell John it's a
shortened season because they say celebrities can't afford to
be as isolated for as long as regular people. All Morosa says
yes, Omarosa dropped one of the most obvious and possibly last
points. Since next episode on Sunday is sure to be very jam
packed. I don't know if they'll have time to slip one in. So
they're all having a conversation and someone
conveniently says What was it like the first time you walked
into the Oval Office? And Rober Rossa hits back with her
bombshell, which time the Clinton or the Trump White
House? And of course Marisa says I only knew about the Trump
White House. And here's where Rosa Rosa gives her little
excoriation of the press. And to paraphrase she says, Of course
you did. The media likes to paint a narrative that Trump is
surrounded by incompetent people. But I worked in the
Clinton White House. In fact, I have my undergraduate Master's
and PhD in communications. But when they talk about me, it's
always just Oh Morosa from the apprentice. Another pro temp pro
Trump message from Rober Rossa?
Wow, we need a jingle for this segment, unfortunately, this
show and so we can't say this any good.
So I didn't know that she had that she was also in the clean
tech course you didn't because of the media. Yeah. And I did
certainly didn't know that. She had undergrad Master's and PhD
in communications. I don't know if that means much. But
I don't have it, but it's called biopharma FUD.
Oh, I have a Connecticut School of broadcasting diploma. I
really do. Yeah. an honorary degree. Oh, yes. I showed up for
sigma.
Like Kentucky colonels.
Okay. All right. Back. Oh, let's see.
I have a little das Adam.
Oh, well, you know what I did? Because I felt so bad about the
last time I found the correct jingle.
As Adam. Will he know Oh, really? Well. I don't know. But
here we go.
Here we go. What do you think in this clip? I would find irksome.
The
question is what do I think? John C. Dvorak would find
irksome in this clip what his take I'm sorry. Oh, that was
that was in the clip. I thought it was using the clip
has taken place with her the last year she was skating on the
junior level this her first full season on the senior level.
Terry she wasn't even in the Olympic team conversation at the
beginning of this season. She changed that combo This is
a great new bid you're on I love it. Convo. Yes. The
indiscriminate abbreviating of regular words into shit, I think
is the name of the segment. That would be a good segment name.
Yeah. How about this Convo? Baby.
Your shot at it?
Yes. Yeah, you're so adorbs when you play those clips, I love it.
Dork. adorbs is one of my favorite.
That'd be good. Yeah. Dorbz I love adorbs
Convo is this just new speak because this was happening.
Well, you know what? What about the I can't even ask the
question. I sort of put this in my me to segment This is Jill
Abramson. Talking about Clarence Thomas. I guess he lies she
feels he lied. He lied. This is our Supreme Court justice. Long
Dong silver, the pubic hair on the coke coke can if you're old
enough to remember here. Is that a pubic hair? I see that Coke
can. But jewel a room is of course, the O G. H. O GBH,
actually, the original gangsta Berkeley Hummer. And even though
the quality of this is somewhat dubious, her humming is
exquisite.
You right that this may be in your view an impeachable
offense. What would make these events impeachable offenses?
Well, perjury is an impeachable offense and there's no statute
of limitations. And so I think that the evidence that I
collected and present in this piece shows overwhelmingly that
Clarence Thomas law during the hearings in 1991
She is such a good Homer.
What is she up to? She thinks she's gonna get Clarence Thomas
impeach.
That's apparently she's on some mission. I guess this is no,
she. Here's here's the meeting with Hillary. All right, Jill,
you take up the flank of the Supreme Court, you got to change
that. You got to change the config change the config change
change the config? Yeah, that is misogynistic, you know?
No, I don't think so. We have no evidence. She's actually a
woman.
You know, we had this new library in Austin.
You say library library.
I said library. Okay. Wouldn't say library. Not in February.
Mac producer Matt caught this on the face bag and he sent it to
me. He said this is a person I follow who lives in Austin. Now
this library is a five minute walk from the common law condo.
So I'm going to verify this myself this way. Have you been
in this library? Tina has been in the library when it was most
of these libraries in
these towns ladies are dynamite.
Well, here's the bag post. Laurie and I finally visited the
new downtown library today. The parking structure was full. So
we drove around and missed all the construction nearby. And so
we finally found a spot on the street. The $125 million
building is spectacular as it should be for the money. But
about half the library's users on this cold wet day, were bums
and vagrants what we politely call homeless. They were
sleeping watching videos on the computers charging their cell
phones, many had large numbers of bags one was wearing a
plastic bag. Another was dressed in filthy long underwear. They
stank with fierce body odor. None of them was reading a book.
It was like being in an urban bus station except the structure
was brand new and cost taxpayers $125 million. We did not feel
secure. I would not leave belongings unattended or allow a
child to be unaccompanied with this clientele. What the city of
Austin has created isn't expensive, well equipped
homelessness, homeless shelter. Most of the non homeless users
weren't reading books or magazines, but using their
laptops. You don't need $125 million library to provide free
Wi Fi. That's what Starbucks is for. We were very disappointed
and eager to leave what a waste of money. I've been telling you
the homeless situation is out of control. And now we're becoming
just like San Francisco or just now let them go there then fine.
So I'm going to the zoo yesterday with my daughter and
as a special Chinese New Year event. So we go there and two
things she spots on the way back she spotted a giant Raven was
somebody's cheese sandwich or something. But she didn't get to
see it. But she says it was not only was in a baggie. Bird was
carrying this thing off. But on the way into the zoo. We're
going through some part of town over by the by the 18 T baseball
park. And she says you always know you're in San Francisco and
you see somebody pooping on the sidewalk that gets you saw as oh
my god I was driving so I couldn't look around. But she
decided that she works in the city and do walking dogs and so
she sees people pooping. Because San Francisco is just a giant
Poop. Poop. Giant poop on the sidewalk place. It's
just poop everywhere.
But yeah, I can see this going on in Austin. I'd be if I was
homeless. I'd go into the light Barry.
I can't wait. Yeah.
Okay, here's the deal. If your here's your assignment, I
have an assignment. I'm ready boss.
Bring a camera or your iPhone or something corner take enough
pictures that I can use a few in the newsletter.
You got it? Maybe I'll do some selfies with some of the
homeless. Oh. Oh man, it's just you got excited
there for a second. That would be dynamite. You got it? No
prophecy this sprawl. Yeah, okay,
and we'll do that. I'll have Tina come along. She'd be my
camera person. I mean me my I cinematographer I'm sorry.
Yeah, you need a cinematographer. I do need that.
A couple stories from around the globe. The Netherlands, you
recall that they had a referendum which is legal was
legal in the Netherlands to have a referendum about the they
really the the Dutch said, the majority of the Dutch in the
referendum said, we really don't want Ukraine to be part of
Europe just yet. We don't want the ascension agreement to be
all hunky dory for them. And we still don't know what happened
with the 200 of our fellow citizens who were shot down over
Ukraine. And we haven't gotten an explanation for that. So the
way that Dutch parliament just solved that is they held a vote,
and 76 to 69. The entire referendum clause in the
logbooks is scrapped no more referendum for you slave, you
voted the wrong way. But yeah, so you can't do a referendum in
the Netherlands anymore. Done over and out.
How can the public put up with that kind of crap?
And they're all vaccinated? I don't know they're docile,
chemtrails are a story of
the day. The best way I have a bad story to
buy I'm going to tell you a happy story from for us at least
this happy
saved the happy story.
Okay, go ahead with your story.
I have a bad business. A famous apparently now because we spent
so much money overseas, billions and billions of dollars putting
roads in Afghanistan. We of course, can't maintain our own
highways anywhere and highway fund likes. But no, go ahead.
I just wondering, is this a story about Afghanistan? No.
Okay, because I
mentioned that Afghanistan gets a lot of the road money. Yes.
Did they blow up a hole and they fill it up and fix it? And the
United States I mean, the highway fund for California is
so bad. I know what they stole the money, the money's being
stolen by the corrupt individuals. In fact, they're
starting this show off with the corruption thing I think is a
good way to end it. So there is a notorious pothole in Warren
Michigan that is so famous that they even do a whole feature a
bit about this pothole, which I guess if you hit it and which is
very likely to happen if it's raining because you don't know
there's a pothole there, it just knocks your type just flattens
your tire immediately. So here are in one
stretch of Monaco an obstacle course as drivers tried to dodge
the dangerous craters 10 Pamplin has that part of our coverage
Currently there are 10 disabled vehicles flat tires along mount
make that 11 vehicles with flat tires at 12 Here comes another
one so yes, there is a problem in Warren is bad it's real bad
it goes all the way across the lane drivers along this stretch
of mouth or they'll withstand as another driver falls victim when
you're home and I had no I had some road flares, Mr. Harold
genuine concern citizen
saturate, come out here and give him probably 1015 minutes
somebody's not hitting down holes.
Yes, How old's flares lasted for about 50 minutes and provided a
respite
ridiculous caps combat before when knew all the other cards
are there but they gotta gotta patch it. I don't know where
they're at.
Once How old is flares was snuffed out the pothole was back
in business.
What's with the British accent though?
Well, I have no idea. In fact, I'm wondering how you get hired
for local news casting.
Sounds credible you get a British accent you sound
credible. That's it.
You sound like you can't pronounce the right words I
can't imagine.
But at least no one had to go to hospital.
But that's another thing. He probably introduces that kind of
weirdness. But yeah, this big hole I guess in the road, nobody
gives a shit because they can't they can't afford
it. Well, you said Afghanistan and that's where my story comes
from. Because yes, our money is going to fix roads in
Afghanistan and for a very specific reason. And of all
people leading the charge. Finally, finally, we have
something to watch again on C span that actually holds my
interest. Marco Rubio is worried about the Chinese
at a Senate Intelligence hearing last week on worldwide threats.
intelligence agencies outlined their concerns over Russia's
meddling in US elections. But they also talked about China and
how China's projecting soft power through colleges and
universities in the United States. Republican Senator Marco
Rubio from Florida pointed to Confucius Institutes,
or wrote a letter to five higher education institutions in
Florida about the Confucius Institutes which are funded by
China, Chinese government dollars at US schools. And it is
my view that they're complicit in these efforts to covertly
influence public opinion and to teach half truths designed to
purge that Chinese history, government or official policy in
the most favorable light.
So if the FBI is monitoring these Confucius Institutes, are
they saying that they're concerned with some potential
criminal activity going on?
Yeah, Christopher. I didn't go quite as far as saying that I'd
add the FBI Director essentially said that they've been watching
the institute's as he used the word watching them warily and in
certain instances have developed appropriate investigative steps.
So that was as far as we got in terms of detail, but certainly
it did suggest it uses Institute's have been at least a
subject of investigative attention by the FBI. If nothing
else.
Good. Why do you Why were you groaning?
I just remembered something. Okay.
groaning about the clip. Well, we've we're taking on China, and
Afghanistan is right now front and Central, a couple of
articles came out homework for people who are interested in
learning a little bit more, you'll find it in the show
notes, go to na shownotes.com. You'll find the episode there in
the archive and then go into the show notes and look for the
pipelines. Where Professor William Engdahl, who I read all
his books and follow all of his he's a big pipeline, war type of
guy. So he has a great article that he wrote about how the
Chinese have been desperately wanting to as as, as we talked
about, I knew was happening, desperately want to adopt
Afghanistan into their three belt, no road strategy, as they
want to go through Pakistan. They want to go through
Afghanistan. And we are stopping that by our huge troop buildup.
And by this wonderful article, this came out two days ago. This
is the New York Times headline Afghanistan breaks ground on
1127 mile peace pipeline. This is the big one that we've been
trying to get done. Since Unocal proposed it and guy was in 1968,
or some wave going on forever. And I'll just read a little bit.
This is the Tapi T API known as they Turkmenistan Afghanistan,
Pakistan India pipeline. This has been the big monster. This
is why we're in Waziristan, which is right on the Pakistani
border, which we talked about before even drone started
showing up over there. This is why we're deployed all the way
in Kandahar all it's to protect this pipeline. And what's
happening now is the Taliban, the Taliban banana, they're so
happy. They're saying you know what? I think we can find some
common ground here, Mirko Why don't we protect the pipeline
over here. So finally, we've got this is what Rex Tillerson
wanted is everybody's wanting to do this for 30 years as far as I
can remember. And it also will have you know, fiber optic
cables and a railroad and it's going to connect Afghanistan or
Turkmenistan, which is where the gas is, is going to thwart the
other piece pipeline, which is the Iran Iraq. Iran was Iran
Iraq, the Iraq no the Iran Pakistan, India, sorry, Iran,
Pakistan, India, IPI. That's what it's called, which would
come from the south pars gas field in Iran. But now Now you
know why we're there. This troop buildup is to stop China and not
let Iran slashed the Russians do anything and we're gonna protect
it all the way all the way down Afghanistan into Pakistan into
India. Good work, everybody. Maybe you won't have to kill
anybody now. You got what you want is
not gonna happen. It's too much fun. Yeah, sounds right. And
then between the puppies so they can somebody said, no, what did
he you know, somebody said letter in saying, we get all our
heroin from Mexico, because now they busted but she says, what's
what's the point of being in Afghanistan protecting the poppy
fields and this is for Europeans and the Russians. Yes. That's
where that Poppy stuff. They get the Afghan stuff they get to
Afghanistan. They get the primo stuff apparently. Yeah, we get
the crappy stuff from Mexico
to social justice clinic and brown to social justice warrior
clips to end up with from my side. I know you gotta go but do
you want to play any clips?
Well, I got a couple I got a little homeless clip. Oh, well,
how
come I didn't stick that to the library?
But wasn't paying that close of attention. Oh, okay. Thanks.
Let's play the homeless clip. I'm looking for it. No, wait,
don't play that homeless clip. Play Amnesty International
report. They get through they have a big thing, a big embargo
they're gonna and then I played this clip. I said all the
Amnesty International has this bitch about us.
Our secretary general Sunil Shetty, will give an overview of
the report and the key themes that MST is highlighting this
year. Next, my colleague Erica cavada, Rosales, who's the
Americas director for amnesty will speak to some of the Human
Rights themes in our hemisphere, including the United States. And
then our third speaker to Rhonda Hassan, director of our crisis
work. We'll be able to speak to amnesties work on the Rohingya
in Bangladesh and Myanmar, as well as the situation in Syria
and any other crises that had been arising over The last
several weeks in the last year.
Thank you all for joining us this morning. So one year ago,
millions of people, not just in the United States but across the
world. We're watching anxiously to see what a Trump presidency
would yield after an election campaign of hateful and
xenophobic, sexist rhetoric. They were also looking with
trepidation across Europe were electoral races in France,
Netherlands, Austria and Germany. were showcasing similar
rhetoric and the cynical use of fear and hatred. Combined with
already harsh crackdowns and identity based violence in many
countries, it was a bleak outlook. A year later, we take
stock and what we find that in 2017, to a very alarming extent,
sadly, the hateful rhetoric crossed into hateful reality. In
the USA, we saw the reinstatement of the global gag
rule, depriving millions of women and girls worldwide of
vital health care. The travel bans aimed at men
what global gag rule what is he talking about this Jumoke
This is the worst. This guy goes to the it's talking about we
stopped funding some operation that sent stuff to to Africa. I
mean, it's not as though the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation don't send anything, but it was part of the Planned
Parenthood kind of money being Oh, okay. Now he goes on and on
base starts with Trump. Trump's job yeah, this is Amnesty
International. This is British operation I looked into um, you
can play the rest of the clip in a minute. I looked into you
know, I didn't really I knew about him he always bitched
about being a bunch of foot fakes. And so I you know, I said
that these guys are getting on my nerves, you know, blaming it.
Now they're blaming torture worldwide torture on Trump even
mentioned that time race as well. I think there were good
people on both sides there in
their activist group. They're an activist group. Yeah.
There's I was looking back in 1990 9519 98, somebody did a
breakdown of all their press releases, and their criticisms
of various countries. And the number one country in the whole
list of African countries, everywhere in the world. What
was the number one country where they're bitching about how bad
we are? I gave it away America. 49 criticisms in the United
States 12 of Cuba. Wait, wait, wait,
are we number one? Yeah, we're number one. From finger number
one, baby. Once again, Merkin does it.
It's like, it's unbelievable this list. But this operation,
you're right. It's just a bunch of phonies. It's a bullcrap
operation that we play the rest of you see what I'm talking
about USA,
we saw the reinstatement of the global gag rule, depriving
millions of women and girls worldwide. vital health care
white of the travel bans aimed at mainly Muslim countries made
dramatic cutbacks on refugee resettlement numbers, leaving
1000s More in limbo. And a new climate of permissiveness for
xenophobia and hatred, arising from President Trump's failure
to condemn it when he saw it. peddling hatred and fear against
whole groups of people based on who they are, ultimately leads
only in one direction when leaders fostered or turn a blind
eye. The end game is horrific, and literally fatal.
jabroni may go to Saudi Arabia,
who said that Saudi Arabia's had no complaints. Now? Of course
not. Fabulous. Thanks. Very depressing. Yeah, well, okay, so
you had a happy clip at the end.
Wow. And you have to go so I'll play I gotta go right. I gotta
go. I gotta play the last two clips, social justice warrior
clips. What could have possibly gone wrong with this? We think
we're bad. Canada Navia who also have school shootings, as we
heard earlier, they've taken this blow
they're there to the extreme Canada is got huge problems in
this regard. Yes,
user management are happening too. But like most this is
about I don't know how to pronounce it. Dalhousie
University. deluzy Dalhousie.
I used to know how to pronounce Dalhousie
is how I pronounced that
management are happening to but like most Dalhousie University's
executive leadership still lacks visible minorities. So Dallas
taking steps to close the gap restricting who's eligible for a
senior management position in students affaires
because of a low representation of racially visible and
indigenous people among our senior leadership at Dalhousie,
but in the circumstances of this search, we were going to
restrict applicants to only racially visible and indigenous
applicants at this time,
excluding others from applying has generated some backlash,
including this Toronto newspaper headline asking if it's an
example of reverse discrimination. But this
Dalhousie student whose activism has brought her face to face
with senior dal management says greater overall inclusion is
critical.
Even sitting at that table. I felt very uncomfortable as a
racialized student trying to connect with other people.
I love this new term racialized student. That's very broad.
I don't even know what it means. This is
the first time Dell has imposed these restrictions to fill a
senior administration job, but they haven't been applied
before. Notably in hiring 11 faculty members since 2012.
We're bringing something new to the to the table.
Ajay Perez room is one of those so called diversity hires.
It's not just that I have brown skin, it's that I bring brown
issues into my teaching into my service into my everyday.
Jay saw on the street, brown issues,
that I bring brown issues into my teaching into my service into
my everyday work.
But some advocates for disadvantaged groups don't like
the job posting this Nova Scotia activist points out. Dow is
cherry picking who's eligible and excluding the disabled,
why not include them in that policy as well, which is best
practice around the world. When you have an affirmative action
program.
Dow says there's a reason for that exclusion. People with
disabilities are not underrepresented at the
university. The job postings being watched this week, it
could take months to select a winning candidate.
Wow. Way to Go Canada racialized students.
I've never heard of that. What does it mean? Well, it
was a Muslim girl who was saying that. So when you're racialized,
I think it means that you are unrepresented or
underrepresented and therefore you're racialized. That's what I
think it means.
Well, let's look it up. While we're still here. Okay, before I
can, I'll let the Uber stay out there. I'm gonna
keep the meter running. Don't worry. We are going to find out
the term racialized. The password is racialized. What did
you find out John?
racialization is a whole wiki entry. Oh. In sociology
racialization of racial and ethnic ethnic realization is the
process of ascribing ethnic or racial identities to a
relationship, social practice or group that did not identify
itself as such.
Wow. So these are people who don't even want to be recognized
as part of a group but they get lumped in
as a part of the Muslim woman is probably she white by Hussam
brownish. She probably considers herself just wearing a hijab.
Well, that's just decoration.
Icing on the cake, I tell you. It's like a Christmas star on
top of the tree. It's just decoration. Well, we'll be on
the lookout for the term.
Wait, let me read this. The process of racialization can
affect newly arriving immigrants as well as their second
generation children in the United States. The concept of
racialized incorporation bridges the idea of assimilation with
critical race studies, in general, and in the concept of
racialization. In particular, well, immigrants may possess
specific ethnic and cultural identities associated with their
countries of origin. Once they arrive in the US, they are
incorporated into a society that is largely organized along the
lines of race. The racial hierarchy is it just goes on and
on. It's like a long explanation that I still don't fully get.
Okay, well, we'll we'll boil this down just some simple
meaning. Let's
see if it catches on this term. And I just, I just yearned for
days when school was simple. And the lunch ladies would do a
theme Yeah, you have. Yeah, you have your sloppy day sloppy joe
day. You know, I always used to love the lunch ladies favorite
university is apologizing for an offensive menu that was created
for Black History Month. The dining hall was serving ribs
collard greens, cornbread, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and
two beverages Kool Aid and watermelon flavored water and
investigation determined to employees of the school's food
vendor acts independently in creating the menu. They were
fired.
They were fired like a great menu.
I know And I think it would have been good but now racially
insensitive your racializing
I don't think there's a person black or white in that school
that wouldn't have loved ribs and cornbread is fantastic. You
aren't watermelon water is tasty too.
You gotta get with the program Dvorak. Oh man thanks to Albert

Seen a fair bit of this behavior, but
that was the most egregious example. egregious example,

Justin Trudeau only and unpopular.
Donald records.
Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau Justin Trudeau douchebag I got a
formula I want to propagate it it was for the good of the
system have we ever tried to meddle in other countries? Oh
probably but it was really good system in order to avoid we
don't do that now though. We don't mess around and other
people in our formula we don't mess around other people for a
very good formula if it rings true it is true I have no gender
I have no I have no agenda I know that there are some demonic
forces. I have no I have no I have no agenda hold yourself to
accountability. Oh my god you've been banned. Oh no. You haven't
I have no agenda. Ryan Ryan law I have no agenda single material

We're struggling, get worse. rattling steady, like the most
poor children do you know this is a psychopathic ideology that
is very absolutist either with us or against us.
