Right on, right, right on, right on. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, July 5 2018. This is your award winning give on
nation media assassination episode 1048.
This is no agenda. Celebrating
even more acronyms than before and broadcasting live from the
camera drone stars day here in downtown Austin chaos in the
colonial in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley. We're we're asking if
they abolish ice. How will we make cocktails? I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
Yeah, a joke I have not heard yet. No one's made no one made
the connection.
Well, that is seriously maybe. Yeah.
I did. I did get a good email, by the way, from one of our
producers who was a former member of CBP. Okay. And because
we always get everything mixed up. This is why we do Paul, US
Border Patrol, retired and douchebag that things have
changed since the Department of Homeland Security came into
effect. And so let me run this down so people understand
exactly whose role is what, at the United States border. Yeah,
I will read this to you verbatim. I know I mentioned
before, there is no Customs and Border Patrol anymore. CBP
stands for Customs and Border Protection. US Border Patrol is
a component of CBP as is ice. They're all under DHS. Much of
the media make the same mistake, understandable, but not
accurate. That's why we are the best podcast in the universe. We
tried to correct things. ICE was formed at the onset of Homeland
Security in 2003. And combined legacy ins criminal
investigators, with US Customs criminal investigators. So there
you go. So it's not like it was there was a bunch of other
things folded into one. Interestingly, it's not always
easy. It was not always easy then and probably not now to get
ice to even work immigration cases. Since many of the legacy
customs investigators couldn't speak Spanish. Spanish language
ability was mandatory within ins enforcement agents, but in
recent years, their focus is back on aliens in a bigger way.
And then he goes into the checkpoints which, if you don't
mind, I'll just read that to so we understand exactly what the
rules are on that. Interior checkpoints within 100 air miles
are operated by the US Border Patrol. I spent 15 years working
at three checkpoints before transferring to a Line station
we work the border itself. I'm happy to see your research that
checkpoints are upheld by the Supreme Court. The idea behind
them as a secondary line of defense to funnel and apprehend
illegal traffic after it was made. After it has made it away
from the actual border, a factor that was instrumental in making
checkpoints so prolific was the courts propensity towards
suppressing roving patrol traffic stops, the government
used to be able to legally get away with stopping everyone. So
that's why this was changed. Okay. And then, regarding
asylum, which, as we talked about, on the last episode, it's
not so much the immigration system that is broken, but the
asylum requirements which allow you to request asylum even after
entering the United States illegally. And so our friend
Paul here says the US is being gamed by asylum seekers, the
vast majority of claims will be denied. Since the real reason
for coming as financial activist groups and the open borders,
people are spreading the word to ask for asylum. And please bring
children along to bog down the ability to detain pending a
decision that buys time and if you're released, you can just
disappear. The answer is either changing the law or simply
speeding up the adjudication process conducts credible fear
interviews, and asylum hearings every day at detention centers
then immediately remove those who are denied. When I was still
on the job until 2010. It was very rare for any ot M. Which
stands for other than Mexican to even claim asylum. Isn't that
interesting? So in 2010 It was really only people from Mexico
who are claiming asylum. No, I didn't say that. It was rare for
any ot M other than Mexican to even claim asylum.
He says Oh, TM other than Mexican. Yes. It was a Mexican
claim asylum.
Well, they can't. I think that's his point. He says all most of
them are bogus. Yeah. Anyway. So now we understand a little
better where ice comes from. But no matter what I said, I got a
golden
error and I think made an error. I did. Sorry, what's the error?
I think this is an error I want to discuss. Okay. because it's a
common error, you just showed up a chef or somebody else said,
you know, people, you know, are claiming that Democrats are for
open borders. And he's used the term open borders, not you know,
everybody is missing the point. And all you have to do is look
around and listen, and I've got clips that will tell you this.
They don't want open borders. They want no borders. They want
no borders. Yes. Yeah. An open border. border has an open
border assumes there's a border to open, right? They don't want
borders. Well, if
you listen, if you listen, no borders, no nations. Hello.
That's right. And if you listen to the no borders, no nations
people, especially Ocasio Cortez, she speaks of the border
as needing protection for people to have safe passage. Which is
like, we're just going to protect you across the line.
You're good. Okay, welcome. Nothing happened when you
crossed. Everything's groovy. Yeah,
this is like the old idea that was used in movies as a bromide
where you're, you're running out of the county, you're going fast
as you can, across state lines, and all that stuff to a
screeching halt. So cops,
oh, shoot, man. We can't get them now. We made it. I think
Dukes of Hazzard still kind of kept those rules in play.
Wilbur Ross, what we're going to do now? After? Exactly, yeah.
Well, it's getting out, we've got to get that I have a series
of clips. Okay. We've got to get it out of our heads that these
people are anything other than rank communists trying to
destroy the nation's sovereignty. And they were
making a big fuss about everything on Fourth of July.
Yeah. Which I will also mention, you know, as Independence Day,
and people have called, you know, called me out for saying
this.
I heard you and Horowitz talking about it. And it definitely was
a thing on on Thursday, Fourth of July, where people were
specifically saying we're not we don't celebrate a date. It's
Independence Day. And it was pretty much all dementia a right
wing people saying?
Yeah, no, it's all right wingers. But I think they have a
point. And the point is, this is in the or was yesterday. It was
Independence Day, as well. That's the celebration, Fourth
of July is the date, right? And so it's kind of a fourth of
July, but you kind of combine the two and you think of that,
but that's not what's good. And I think what the objection is by
the dimension eight people is that, hey, we're losing sight of
what this is about. It's about independence from foreign rule.
Well, and if and I'll read I'm gonna read a Gavin Newsom tweet.
On the fourth of July he never mentioned independence and just
listen, this is what this is dimension a this height is a
maximum a news dimension B, he would be. I mean, we I'm sorry,
dimension B at its height. Happy Fourth of July. Today we
celebrate our founding principles and values of
liberty, diversity and opportunity for all. May we be a
country that believes that no matter who you are, who you
love, or where you come from, of course, who you love is
referring to gay marriage and where you come from is referring
to illegal immigration. You should receive every opportunity
to achieve not pursue but achieve happiness. Now this has
got nothing to do with independence. Everything he said
has zero to do with independence and I think what the right
wingers want to do or the dimension a focus in on all
right wingers. They want to reestablish the fact this is
Independence Day is not gay marriage day is not a Bill of
Rights Day. It's not rights.
That's that is an excellent point. And it's it's it's really
not well understood. People just don't don't learn history
anymore. I guess it's an even yesterday here at the at the
common law condo we have a pool deck. So we went down there on
the fireworks started, which was supposed to start at 930 but it
was raining yesterday. So they started a little bit early.
John, it was the weirdest thing. It was quiet. There was no
music, you know, we didn't even have the you know the what is
it? The 1812 overture? No, there was no music at all. And just
the fireworks going after Austin. Yes, but you know what I
noticed that you'd hear some people like not even oohs are
ours. To me it Tina disagrees, but to me it felt like people
were apprehensive to be really joyous and Celebrate, you know,
just throw your hands up for the July Independence Day. In fact,
I heard one or two people kind of must have been 100 people out
there, you know, go Merga, which is clearly a bullshit joke. You
know, so people were uncomfortable. They felt like
celebrating Independence Day would be to Mirka would be to
Trump somehow and I really felt the pressure from everybody was
very strange.
I think it could be something else and maybe both Dean's kind
of right maybe you're kind of right. I think well I have a
clip. That may explain it. Why are always apprehensive okay CBD
for dogs.
A fourth of July usually means fireworks and while it can be
fun for people it can be frightening for pets. ABC SEVEN
NEWS REPORTER Kate Larsen joining us live now from Pier 39
To explain the buzz around a new trend to calm our four legged
friends Kate
Dion that's running here at Pier 39. To fireworks will be in full
effect tomorrow night very exciting, but maybe not so much
for all of our cats and dogs. And while pets being afraid of
fireworks is nothing new the way people are dealing with their
pets fear is new with cannabis that you combine at local
dispensaries. For centuries people have settled firework
displays and likely for just as long animals have cowered in
fear.
She's very scared of fireworks usually hides behind the car
shark. Under the bed
please are both pet CBD products enter cannabis for canines. As
the fourth approaches buddy's dispensary in San Jose has sold
a lot of these doggy CBD tinctures it's not
psychotropic so in other words, it doesn't give you that high
effect. But but it does have some calming properties to it.
So folks do get into their pets, cats and dogs you know ever
since legalization every day. We have questions about it.
Robert brand volt is a registered veterinary technician
at Willow pet hospital in San Francisco. Well the pet parent
demand exists that's cannot prescribe cannabis products
because the drug is illegal under federal law.
There's a lot of discussion about it. Some veterinarians do
believe in the efficacy of CBD and products some don't. And a
lot of it is just we don't have enough information.
While more research is needed. One thing is clear about
cannabis THC is toxic to cats and dogs. Only CBD products are
potentially animals. Dogs
Okay, so what what do you think people are?
What was your? Yes yes. So they're all silent and worried
worried about their pets. gonna freak out because there's gonna
be boom big booms you know babies boom.
You know what I'm gonna give you appoint for that because another
just continuous trending meme now it's always around on New
Year's Eve and Fourth of July date. You know, all careful for
your pets. But now, I should have captured a couple of them.
I definitely saw the dog parents make sure that your kids are
okay tonight. You know, they get really afraid. And you know,
there was a lot of this stuff going on. So yeah, yeah, maybe
we're all just worried about their their doctors. Yeah.
I'm surprised you. You didn't, I didn't. Five inside the place.
Now.
Remember that before you go back to ice. I just want to mention
why I want to go back to
so i want to comment on that clip. One last thing. They said
that THC is, is deadly to dogs and cats. I didn't know that. By
the way. I do remember back in college when kids used to
blow smoke. Yeah. And they would get you get them high get
stolen. They didn't die. They got funny.
Yeah. So I don't know. Wondering about that. I will
say this one interesting tidbit about the Declaration of
Independence, which is what we were celebrating. Some guy
posted the declaration of independence to the face bag and
face bag. Said you see section 10, which is paragraphs 27 to 31
it flagged it and blocked it as hate speech. I think he's just
great.
I was I saw this story and I would like to see actual both I
agree.
I agree. I'd like to see it too.
But it wouldn't.
It wouldn't surprise me.
No, I would I would not be shocked if it was true. But I
wonder if it's true. Well, you gotta wonder with just about
everything. Well, that in particular when you have it's
just you know as to it fits into many into many parents. Times
said just match what we're trying to do bash face book kind
of thing. Yeah, so yeah, I'd like to see some proof anyway.
Oh so I have some ice cubes we had a protest abolish ice.
Yes and but this did you did you get the news about the Celebrate
he's doing the 24 day hunger strike
I think then we do a thing on the hunger strike and that was
shows ago
I thought we did but it was promoted again. And maybe they
promoted only as like would maybe it's gotten to become a 24
hour strike No
this was the same thing it did you can find the clip I think is
hunger strike or 24 hour it's from three four shows ago and
I'm pretty sure we played it. You that or I just bagged on it.
Well, that's
all right did look, we haven't seen anyone starving, so I'm
sure it passed. It's kind of like everyone moving to Canada.
I can slim down for my next role. Well,
Alec Baldwin needs to stay keep his fighting. Wait, if he wants
to keep his SNL gig and he was one of the main guys who was
going to be there.
Oh yeah. He's not doing any now. He's only so let's go to we had
a little abolish ice and the signage was the same. Abolish
abolish ice abolish borders stop deportation
and abolish profit. I saw that in the newsletter. Yeah, the
abolish profit was rare basic. Minimum. Yes. And it's it's
dynamite though I love abolish profit.
Yeah. But they mean it they mean that's what they want. And
they're socialists Yeah. And they come out now there's a
blatant about the this report which is I cut into four pieces
is about the abolish ice protests in San Francisco, which
is a leader in these sorts of things. They've got a whole
street blocked off and people are blocking the ice
headquarters. And and they're not gonna be moved until they're
dragged out by the government. Let's go with one.
Protests continued tonight in San Francisco calling for the
abolishment of ice. The demonstrators are not giving up
hope that their message will be heard.
We're gonna be out here until the government literally drags
us from this location.
Now a block party in San Francisco.
I didn't notice this until now. You don't have to back up and
start over. Okay. This woman that talks and she talks a
couple of times you can spot her voice very easily because I
didn't realize until I just heard it now. She's a sounds
like a dead ringer for Janeane Garoppolo
though, protests continued tonight in San Francisco calling
for the abolishment of ice. The demonstrators are not giving up
hope that their message will be heard.
We're gonna be out here until the government literally drags
us.
Yeah, she's close. Not exactly, but I agree. She's close its
location.
Now a block party in San Francisco outside the officers.
Immigration. Oh, really?
Yes. She's black. And she's got one of those nose rings. That is
like the cow thing. Yeah.
Alicia on to Yeah, so we're doing my daughter,
click and Customs Enforcement. It's the third day now that this
group has been outside ice headquarters, and the crowd is
continuing to grow. Good evening, everyone. I'm Frank
Somerville.
And I'm Julie Haner. The movement was sparked by
President Trump's zero tolerance policy that separated families
at the border before the President halted those
separations on June 20. We get live coverage tonight from Katie
views Christina Rendon, she's in San Francisco now with more on
the message behind the demonstration. Christie's
message
was really frank there are more than 200 people here on
Washington Street in the financial district. And behind
us they have created a literal blockade of this street. Their
main goal here is to block ice.
Oh, do you think that was intentional?
Apparently it was because it became this became a meme blog.
Okay, blockade of this street. Their main goal here is to block
ice. On this Fourth of July in San Francisco, a block party has
taken over the 400 block of Washington Street. Activists
with Occupy SF ice are camped out in front of ice headquarters
calling for the federal agency to be abolished. The group says
this is not a celebration of Independence Day. It's a
celebration of resistance
we are hoping for if there is an insistence on processing people
who are coming to this country without documents, even though
there should be no concept of illegal immigration to do so in
a way that does not criminalize them just does not detain
children either on their own or families indefinitely.
So they're making the mistake here that ice processes people.
Because that's what that's what they're blocking a lot of
mistakes
they're making Yes, or making a lot of mistakes is really going
to hurt the Democratic Party. And they're letting other get
kind of given free rein by both the media and the Democrats at
large and it's going to it's going to be a problem down the
road. Yeah, let's finish this.
Activists here stand in solidarity with undocumented
immigrants from around the world. Following President
Trump's immigration policies. They say since ice was created
in 2000 Three, it has attempted to transform state and local law
enforcement agencies into deportation machines. Oh, they
call it a violation of human rights.
Just got the troll room I have to say came up with a better
one. Logan five crush ice. I think that's even better than
block ice.
That is better, isn't it? Good work, Rajesh.
I want to show title.
Right? I'm going to get credit. Oh, that's yeah, you got it
should title crush ice.
It could catch on. You never know. Yeah. Okay,
good. All right, good. I probably had some thoughts on
that one,
too, we see that this is not a just society. And it is our duty
to stand up and to fight against that and to fight for a
socialist society for one that actually does enshrine rights
for people into law.
Throughout the day, the crowd tents and signs multiplied
enough for the street to be shut down.
Who wants to enshrine rights in a socialist and new socialist
society? These guys are really off the wall.
They don't even have socialism, right? Don't they don't?
Actually, I tell you when I when I moved to the Netherlands in
1972. I mean, I was young. Well, I'm young man. I was seven. I
remember.
That's a boy.
I remember my parents and I believe me and to grow up quick.
I remember my parents were bitching and moaning about the
income tax which in 1972, it plus or minus a point was about
90%, nine zero. Now almost everything was free when it came
to schooling, university and or higher education and medical
bitched about him. Ever since
1990, John, it was 90 it was it's these days, I think is
still exposed
to that in Denmark. It's
still in the 60s.
Yeah. So yay, yay, socialist, socialism. Well, again, I you
know, this woman, she was sketchy success. She's a
socialist. She also that I mean this, this whole group is
blatant socialist. And they think that they don't realize
that Bernie Sanders yet was a socialist, but Bernie Sanders
hit it. He didn't run as a socialist never said no borders.
I never heard him say no borders. And he never said
anything about taking away the sovereignty of the country. No
borders would mean that a number of events, for example, this
trade war with China wouldn't happen. Because Chinese can just
ship all the ships they want to bring, bring the ships and dock
and just pay the docking fee and all the stuff you want because
there's
no borders, no borders,
maybe that thing? Don't have a trade with Canada. No, there's
no border. Back and forth. Who cares? I mean, the no borders no
sovereignty thing, which is what they really don't they won't say
that. But it's no borders. No nations is you know, no borders,
no sovereignty. What
is baffling to me is when you see the European Union, which is
I'd say a lot of it certainly has socialist holdovers. And
they tried to no borders. It was called the Schengen area. And
guess what didn't work out so well. And they had to, you know,
temporarily suspend in or many countries have temporarily
suspended the whole, no borders concept, because people were, I
guess what? Running into their countries. So yeah, it's kind
of its idealism is not idealism, but a stupid idealism. Now, the
word I think worse than the stupid idealism that we have to
deal with, or the Democrats have to deal with is the is what I
call useful idiots. And that is what you're going to hear next
in the next part of this clip, as they throw it to the man on
the street. Oh, and they got so they've got this starts off with
some, these are, what the first person is. And the second person
is kind of via a homeless person doesn't completely out of it.
But the first person by the way, she's dressed the way she looks,
and the way she speaks is one of those Pacific Heights, women,
wives that has, you know, the three Afghan dogs and she and
she's just completely oblivious to any sort of reality
whatsoever. And so she's all in because she's stupid. Of course,
passerby is offered
their support, great day to just stand up for independence and
freedom. And I'm really thankful. I'm thankful that
there are people out here making a statement for those that don't
have any voice.
I'm with it. Now, I really upset the world's going right now.
demands to disband ice and create a non criminalizing
alternative are being echoed at similar protests around the
country.
Yeah, and apparently this this was another one of these schemed
events that had parallels everywhere including the Statue
of Liberty which I didn't get a clip of, but
Oh, it's a woman. The woman trying to climb climb up the
Statue of Liberty.
Yeah. And then they would drop the sign a button they says No
connection. I don't believe it for a minute. Here. I just want
to rap. This is the this is the ticket back to the studio. And
then we have the anchor wrap. And I do have a comment about
this. And I bet you you can guess what it is. Oh, could it
be in the briefs?
Christina, if they do get their wish and say that Vice was
abolished? Do they believe there is any type of enforcement
necessary then for people who come into this country
illegally?
Well, they do want to see a different kind of process for
bringing in people who are undocumented, like they
mentioned, they want to see it in a non criminalized way. But
in terms of the borders and Border Protection, they have a
big sign up here that says, abolish borders. And they've
been very vocal about the fact that they do want and they are
advocating for open borders. All right, Christina Rendon in San
Francisco.
Right, Mrs. Yeah, your whole point about no borders versus
open borders.
Yeah. And she says she's looking at the sign it says abolish
borders. And she turns around, the reporter turns around and
says, Open borders. Somebody says can you tell the
difference? Between abolish and open and abolish borders goes
along with no, no borders? No nations? I mean, come on people.
These are people. These are the journalists today. They just
like a pie in the face. And they don't say, you know, they don't
say what is this goop on my face? Where'd that come?
What is that? Well, there's a lot of there's a lot of words in
1984, the book 1984 There was this new speak? And is that
where the Ministry of Truth came from?
I lost track of all the all the memes from that. Yeah.
But the idea of Newspeak where fear is freedom, you know,
segregate what we think we have that as well, that's our own
version of it. Yeah, it's
a new version.
Let me see, I have the I have the marching version. Let's see,
this is Chi, this is kind of the idea.
Freedom, subjugation is liberation. Contradiction. This
world.
Right, so But there's one that I've picked up, which is press
freedom, which is now being seen as a God given right. But of
course, the the actual right that we have certainly in the
United States is freedom of the press, which is different from
press freedom.
Are you with me? Who's liked it likes to turn words around
backwards? So you can see it has a double meaning is
psychologically press freedom press for freedom is different
if freedom of the press?
Well, it is well, actually, I'll give you an example. Jim Acosta
from CNN, we talked about on the last episode, who was standing
in the back out of earshot of the President and clearly did a,
you know, just for made for TV shot of him yelling. Yeah. Are
you going to do you still think that the media is the enemy of
the people? And so there was this clip that I have here. And
it's him, you know, defending his action there. But less
interesting is the action and more about this whole kind of
idea of press freedom.
I wrote down some of these slurs, some of them I can't read
because they're curse words. Yeah, point is, though,
when you're in the back of the room, like you were on Friday,
and you shout a question to Trump, and he probably can't
even hear it. Isn't it true that you're kind of doing that just
to get attention? Well, isn't that part of what you're doing?
On Friday? When I was shouting that question, I thought, first
of all, he keeps calling us the enemy of the people. You know,
somebody ought to ask him after what happened in Annapolis,
I do want to say that he called fake news like CNN, and MSNBC
and an enemy of the people, not all media,
are gonna continue to call us the enemy of the people. And so
they had an event, they put them on all the other way, the other
side of the room. But there was a moment towards the end of that
event when he was walking towards us. And I thought, well,
here's a chance to, perhaps shout a question to him. And we
have seen on occasion, when we shout questions, he does answer
the question. So it's not unreasonable to ask that
question. It's not like we barge into the Oval Office or barge
into the Easter Egg Roll and start shouting questions. So
there's a perception you do in order to get attention for
yourself. Typically, what people don't understand is that
typically at the very end of these pool opportunities, what
we call pool opportunities, where we go in and talk to the
President or he has an event, we wait until the very end of the
bill signing or the event or whatever he has, and he says,
Okay, thanks, guys. And then we'll go in and our and we'll
ask our questions, people don't understand there's a process to
it. And you know, we typically does now of course, the process
is a lot of law. Clicking of cameras with you going What's
your process
got questions, we have to find opportunities to ask those
questions and that kinda like Sam Donaldson did decades ago.
That's right. And listen, if they want to send me to hell,
I'll still be shouting at the devil. You know, we have a job
to do. And I've said this times before, and I'll say it again,
they can kick us out of the briefing room, then kick us out
of the White House, we're still going to do our jobs. And, you
know, my attitude is, is that we fill a necessary role in our
democracy, the rest of the world is watching us, they don't
understand how the president can call us fake news. And the enemy
of the people. And my response to all that is, my goodness,
what? Are we supposed to sit back and do nothing? Are we
supposed to not push back when we're treated in that fashion?
And my sense of it is, is that you have to push back.
So this clip goes in conjunction with something that Axios was
reporting on Axios is, is now this online, new service that
everybody's all jacked about, and it's owned by NBC and
investors such as Lauren Powell Jobs. And here's it's a Trump
exacerbates press freedoms steady decline. And they have a
ranking about press freedom, not freedom of the press, but press
freedom. And the United States comes in the 45th. Spot. 45. And
I'll just I'll just read,
you know, this rating has been going on for years, and it has
nothing to do with press free. No, it has to do with
credibility.
But listen to this. Now, this is Axios. Here's what they write us
press freedom enshrined in the First Amendment to the 1787
constitution. Bullshit, no, there's no press freedom. I
truly think that they believe that because they're members of
the press. And I don't know, but I think you're certainly a
member of the press. No, I'm a podcaster. So maybe I don't
qualify as a member of the press, you know, that wasn't
really stipulated in the Constitution. But somehow they
believe they have the right to do and go anywhere they want to,
but that's not what it's about. You can print anything you want.
You can say anything you want, as a part of the First Amendment
right to free speech, but this press freedom thing. So I'll
read again, US press freedom and shrined in the First Amendment
to the 1787 constitution has been under increasing attack
over the past few years. And the first and the first year of
President Donald J. Trump's presidency has fostered further
decline in journalists right to report right to report. He has
declared the press quote
and then meanwhile, they get if you go to any of the Trump
events, there's a crapload of journalists in the back and he's
just still does the press conferences. Nothing's changed.
It gets better.
He has declared the press an enemy of the American people,
which he never even use the word press okay,
but he never used the word American either. In a series
of verbal attacks towards journalist attempted to block
White House access to multiple media outlets as if that would
be unconstitutional, and routinely uses the term fake
news in retaliation for critical reporting. He has even called
for revoking certain media outlets broadcasting licenses.
This was a long time ago, the violent anti press rhetoric from
the highest level of the US government has been coupled with
an increase in the number of press freedom violations at the
local level as journalists run the risk of arrest for covering
protests or simply attempting to ask public officials questions.
Reporters have even been subjected to physical assault
while on the job. It appears that the Trump Effect has only
amplified that
happened long before Trump showed up. Yep, it appears the
Trump Effect has only amplified the disappointing press freedom
climate that predated his presidency. Whistleblowers face
prosecution under the Espionage Act if Obama if they leak
information of public interest to the press. While there is
still no federal shield law guaranteeing reporters right to
protect their sources, journalists and their devices
continue to be searched at the US border. They like they
believe they have some special right. And by the way, anybody
can be searched at the US border because you're not in the US.
That's the whole beauty of it. You have no rights, no press
freedoms. While some foreign journalists are still denied
entry into the US after covering sensitive topics like Colombia's
FARC or Kurdistan. So, my point being this Newspeak, Jive of
press freedom is a gross contortion of Have you liked
that?
I saw your work, I can see, I guess see your brain going to
try to come up with a word on the fly. You nailed
the contortion of the United States Constitution and our Bill
of Rights. Because the freedom of the press note Congress shall
make no law against the freedom of the press. That's right, the
freedom to press your words, getting out and to broadcast
them. I think that's a modern interpretation. But it doesn't
mean you get to go in and go anywhere and say, I you have to
show me what's going on here. I'm from the press that back.
No, oh yeah,
you're not a government inspector with a badge. But
we need to be careful here. Because when the press you know,
runs this press freedom bull crap,
this is just press whining. And I didn't realize that NBC had a
piece of that x in operation but yeah, you know, now I can see it
because that that does become a propaganda tool. NBC and NBC is
really doing everything they can that they don't get crushed by
the government. Well, they
there was, there was a fun just calling back to ice for a second
crushed ice. There was a fun, fun report from your neck of the
woods, Oakland. And I think I think local NBC affiliate may be
they picked up the story that went live, because ice was
evicting people or arresting people in in some area of
Oakland, and people were freaking out about it. And when
you listen to the clip, I only realized that this morning when
I when I heard it for the second or third time. The baby crying,
you know the the the recording that was used so effectively to
encourage people to take to the streets, the kids in couches,
crying, any child crying has become a trigger. And it makes
total sense by Dale that,
yes makes this a great idea. We should start using the baby. We
need our donations.
Yes, yes, exactly. I'll see if I can someone send me an ISO of
the baby crying from the ice the kids in cages, please do that.
That'd be fantastic. Listen to the report.
One person seemed covered in a blanket taken away by law
enforcement here in Oakland. Neighbors say this was the
second person taken away and they're upset. Who'd are Cohen
says she woke up to the sounds of a crying baby and law
enforcement officers outside this home on the 700 block
of tissue and I'm saying I woke up to the sound of a crying baby
triggered immediately put into the mind. The mindset of oh,
it's ice. They're putting kids in cages. Oh, the poor children
think
sounds of a crying baby and law enforcement officers outside
this home on the 700 block of 27th Street.
I just heard my roommate like racing upstairs and crying and
being like, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. And
I came out and all of our housemates got together and we
came outside and we saw a bunch of cop cars, a bunch of other
cars that are apparently like ice cars that and just so many
ICE agents, I
like ice cars. That's kind of cool, too. Isn't ICE, ICE cars
coming in and entering our neighbor's house.
Cohen said no one was being told what was going on except ICE
agents did confirm with KPI x five, that special agents with
ice and Homeland Security. were executing a federal search
warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
Now I need to I need to add to this at this point in the report
that this was a package they had produced and they were live on
the scene. And unfortunately, they found out what really was
going on. But I liked that they're all a baby's crying eyes
and they're all holding signs. And no human is illegal been
really
tough, because we don't know what's going on in there. And we
know that there's a lot of injustices that are happening
and we care for our neighbors and we care for immigration
rights. And yeah, no person is illegal.
Immigration heating up across the nation. Emotions are running
high in this neighborhood. The Rapid Response Network also
arrived. They say they're trying to reach out to the family in
this home yet the
Rapid Response Network. I hadn't heard of this outfit yet. So the
Rapid Response Network, they come and hold up signs when they
hear babies cry to provide them
information on their rights.
Ice is not welcome in this country. HSI is not welcome. I
don't support what they do. I think it's a blasphemy that
we're really
calling on the community to say that this is not okay that we're
going to fight back. We're not going to let people just
disappear like this. And now we go
back to our reporter live on the scene.
Again, Oakland Police Department confirming this had to do with a
federal criminal search warrant that had to do with human sex
trafficking. That's really information that we have been we
just received moments ago. Oakland police's involvement in
all of this was traffic control as requested by Homeland
Security. Oh,
snap. Everybody was out there and there was a legitimate ice
raid for some eight holes trafficking people. sex drives a
lot. Yeah, yeah.
Well didn't Okay, well I do have one other one kind of parallel.
Hold on. Let
me see. Let me just see if I got this chart Hold on one second.
Let me see if I got the right thing. Like this will be good
for the donation segment here to muddy, it is too muddy we need
probably to make our own.
It's somebody that needs to clean that mud or clean. Clean
that
mud off that clip. Now
this is the one that got me it didn't get a lot of legs but it
was like 60 people protesting most the time. You could have
100 people on the other side of the fence protesting they won't
cover it. But this was an important protest. That just
like was the eye roller and it just kind of got no legs thank
God anti barbecue protest.
Animal rights activists crashed free Block Party and Oakland
today as people there were celebrating the Fourth of July
60 protesters showed up you see them in this picture there were
carrying fake butcher knives and wearing fake bloods battered on
their shirts they called barbecuing violence against
animals Despite
the slight destruction the event of Jacqueline and square went
off really without a problem.
We really need to abolish social media if that's how these idiots
work together.
This is violence against animals. Oh my goodness. I do
want to thank barbecuing tofu. Hmm.
I do want to thank everybody who was working on the Fourth of
July. You know that Tina had to work? No, there's like, what are
you eating food?
Are you eating food? Actually, I
just crunched a Tums. I had a little indigestion. Oh, I'm
sorry. She had to go in the side like Ronald McDonald House
closes. It's 24/7. And there's lots of people lots of Yeah, we
work. But I just wanted to thank them to everyone's thanking the
troops. Troops are important. But there's tons of people at
home who do all kinds of about the middle to EBIT the
cops. EMT you can get in time and a half. Yeah, well, let me
tell you, there's no time that probably double time on a
holiday. There's no time and a half of the
nonprofit's Boy, I'll tell you that.
It's it's just a regular workday.
See, I did have one other thing at the border, which I think
people would be encouraged by we already knew this was happening.
I've been waiting for a clip that would confirm the use of
now I don't think they mentioned here of DNA testing. We know
that rapid DNA testing is now being applied at the border.
Which would mean that you can determine within an hour or two
if you're related to the child who is with you.
Just a quick DNA testing has been conducted on separated
migrant parents and children as part of the family reunification
process. A federal official says it is a precaution against
children being trafficked or smuggled by adults who claim to
be their parents. But one immigration group calls the
practice deplorable.
Yeah, of course it's deplorable.
deplorable,
because they can be tracked I kid you not this whole articles
about this stop, stop DNA testing, because then the
government can track these children everywhere track these
people. Hello. This is from the same country that has unmask
spit in little tubes and sent it to 23 and me
crazy. It's a great ionic crazy people, crazy people out there.
We'll go ahead and discuss the crazy crazy, crazy, it's
a really it's a good idea to do that. And yeah, that's
definitive. You don't need papers not that important. Then
all of a sudden,
yeah, it's the 21st century Get over yourself. Yeah. And then
there was a
people who just were relentless. I couldn't people just stop with
the nasty political tweets on one day of the year now is not
possible. And so now now they've discovered Amy sis kind to be
specific was promoting this. Now they've discovered that that two
of the commercial prison companies who have facilities
for immigrants detention facilities, both donated, I
think it was 100 and 1000 100,200 $1,000 to the Trump
inauguration fund. Which of course immediately spun into Ah,
now we'll see how it works. T got a nice inaugural party, and
he's sending them clients. Of course, it's sad.
That is the argument you can make when you wouldn't have a
system.
But sadly, it was. I have the headline here from The
Washington Post Obama's $1 billion giveaway to the private
printed prison industry. He set it up.
It was Oh no, no, you can't say anything bad about Obama.
That's what about ism bro. Yeah, but all of these outfits all of
them need to be the I see no reason for that to be
outsourcing. This manner because they're not there's no proper
oversight not talking about how people, whether they're big or
smaller are treated in these facilities. Their whole goal is
to grow. To grow the client base, they speak about these
people as clients, which is just the problem. Yeah. And so, you
know, the whole nature of it is to grow the client base. So it's
very, it's just
as this is productizing the public, which is the same thing
you have with the with the media, that so up and you know,
so high and mighty, the media does the same thing and all the
all advertising based services, same thing package. These are,
you know, the public is a product, the clients are
actually the advertisers. Yeah. And that's who they're appealing
to.
I've been holding on to this clip. For a couple shows. No, it
wasn't. And we never heard her voice again.
Hours later, police discovered Michelle's body less than half a
mile away. Investigators say she was raped, and she died from a
blow to her head. More than 30 years later, police say they can
pin Michelle's rape and murder on Harmon using DNA evidence.
Investigators say they use genetic genealogy to identify
him as a suspect. It was only recently that detectives were
able to gather a new DNA sample from Hartman and it matched what
was found in 1986.
If you're a criminal, and you've left your DNA at the scene, you
might as well turn yourself in now.
Michelle is mother
Whoa,
there you go. Or if you've spit in a tube for anybody, because
they get it from genealogy. Oh, where to get that from?
So that'll be coming this next year.
I'm not spitting in nobody's tube.
No, let's go with that. Yeah, well, I
gave you a chance, didn't I? Yeah, you did actually.
Ah, well, let's see what else we got here. We got the baby
killer, which is a story that's not played in the state here at
all.
baby killer No, but the baby killer. No, I don't know
anything about the baby killer. Hey, baby killer. This is good.
Good headline material man. baby killer.
This is a headline this should have been England this should
have been the lead.
Welcome back. Her job was to care for newborn babies. But now
a health care worker is behind bars accused of being a serial
killer, or Engel is in New York with more on this disturbing
case.
Well, obviously the news the latest development is very
shocking inside
the walls of this British hospital. Police say a nurse
charged with caring for newborns was actually on a killing spree
we have today arrested a health care professional. She was
arrested this morning on suspicion of the murder of eight
babies and the attempted murder of a further six the
breakthrough
coming over a year after police began investigating the high
rate of baby deaths at the Countess of Chester Hospital in
northwest England.
The main problem for the hospital management and for was
the unexplained nature of these deaths which is why the hospital
management originally called in the police after two inquiries
failed to establish a definite definite cause police
are only describing the suspect as a female health care
professional. They say she could be responsible for the deaths of
as many as 17 babies and causing the health of 50 more to be
severely impacted
this arrest this morning will obviously be a huge impact to
parents and families.
Do we have a motive?
Right now they're trying to figure out what the hell's wrong
with this woman. And she's young too. She's a yet she's kind of
brushes off awkwardly pretty. But she they this has not been
what was awkward awkwardly pretty mean.
You'd have to look at it. And you'd probably you'd look at
her. You. You heard what I said you'd look her and you go oh,
now I know what he means. Okay. She This is not being played in
the States.
I see exactly what you mean. Nurse? Nurse Lucy? Yes. Yeah.
And there's loose awkwardly pretty. You nailed it. Onward.
Onward. So she is not being played is because one thing it
violates the are one of our basic memes and tenants about
about serial killers. They're never female. Ha. Did rarely,
despite the fact that in history, we had Lizzie Borden,
one of the most notorious serial killers in history. But for some
reason we haven't in this country. The idea that it always
is male. It usually involves guns. Yes, yes. No good.
So no traction. Gotcha. Now there was a pretty good meme
that was spreading around the interwebs again from your neck
of the woods, and I got to call bull crap on it. Because how did
anyone know that the bag of poop on the side San Francisco street
How did anyone know that it was 20 pounds? Because like 20
pounds of human waste, like Did anyone
hear you walking down the street? What is that bill? Oh,
it looks like a bag of poop Hold on a second. I've got a postal
scale with me.
The city says it disposes of the get this 275,000 us needles a
month, and many of them start out on the street where people
step over the Mayor Mark Farrell says that's a situation that's
intolerable.
People quite frankly are fed up with the conditions of our
streets and Aza my
San Francisco Mayor Mark Farrell and the Department of Public
Health announced they're adding a new 10 person team dedicated
to picking up dirty needles on the streets. Right now only four
city workers are on needle pickup patrol. The expanded
cleanup program will cost $750,000 A year. The plan is for
the team to concentrate on hotspots where large numbers if
used needles often end up and the city says under the plan,
workers should be able to respond more quickly when a
resident or business calls in about needles in their area. Use
needles are one of the biggest complaints this city gets.
It is important for me as mayor to make sure that we do
everything possible and that we send a message to our residents
actually make a difference, by the way on our streets. Most
importantly, that the status quo on our streets today is simply
unacceptable. And we're not going to stand for it.
And it wasn't really a poop report, but it's the same two
different sides of the same coin. Everybody
in San Francisco is fed up. Well they don't do crap. They don't
do crap. Or they do crap. They crap on the street. Nah. Yeah.
Every room. Yeah.
But besides that, another part of news and I'm pretty convinced
these are planted. Again, the 20 pounds of human waste, like
okay. Can big medical convention has cancelled its meeting in San
Francisco, because the last time they were there, the attendees,
some of them, many of them were afraid to go outside. Yeah, they
didn't want to walk around. And I and that's because of poop on
the street. It's but I think the the drug epidemic, you know, the
shooting up, you see the pictures in the video, it's
pretty harsh, especially if you're coming from out of town.
Yeah,
but you know, you're getting on BART, and you go down the road,
it was in the BART station against a wall sitting down,
shooting up. This is just fantastic for tourism. Take good
work, San Francisco, they should take the tourist guy, the guy
whose heads of San Francisco Tourist Board tourism board and
fire him immediately. I don't understand how this guy can keep
his job
considering that, you know, the opioid epidemic, I think we can
safely say that. doctors prescribing opioids is
definitely complicit in the crisis that we're witnessing,
rather ironic that a bunch of doctors don't want to come to
San Francisco because of the opioid crisis. They helped
start.
Yeah, yeah, good.
But again, no one is the only solving symptoms, they're only
picking up the needles figuring different ways to clean the
poop. Now it's this that no one thinks of the obvious, you know,
we have to go to the root of the problem, or we have no nowhere
to put them. I mean, I do have an idea. I would like to offer
an idea where we could at least put people to help them get
their lives back on track, because there is real estate
becoming available every single day. And that's in these malls
that are closing up. I mean, you could you could build some
dynamite housing.
I think cinco is Butler who sent a note in my butler Oh yeah.
Send a note in about German malls because this is apparently
not a United States phenomenon. It's a worldwide phenomenon
certain malls not all the malls or malls that are lively that
are still around they're good, but they're rare as well and the
one that they're well managed Yeah, the
one the ones that seem to be doing okay. Is the ones that
have huge high end stores. Now who they don't really care if
they make their they sell three products a day and you know rent
is pay Yes,
a Rodeo Drive. Yeah, that idea. That idea. I think he said they
turned this giant I'd have to go digital wildly, but he says they
turn this mall into a giant sex parlor place with.
So well. Yeah, that scene is that in Dresden? I think maybe
that's a well known place that's either Dresden or maybe
Dusseldorf that is legal. And it's this huge sex palace.
Yeah. Former Mall.
Yeah, I've been invited many times. I have not gone to the
big sex mall in Germany. No. But now I'm going to I want to plant
it in my flag in the ground. One more time. We're going to have
we're going Gonna leave Austin and not gonna wait around
because within, I'll give you five years because I remember
being in San Francisco in was that 2007 8678 and walking to
walk into the office and stepping over the same homeless
people every day. And it was very disturbing because every,
you know, I was living in London at the time. Every time I kept I
forgot how many homeless people there are. So it's taken quite a
while, you know, it's taken a good 10 years for it to get to
this point. But this is happening in Austin. And, and
yesterday, the keeper's daughter was on her way back from work.
And she said there was there was a homeless guy, that's just a
general term. You could have been a vagrant could have been,
you know, men mentally ill we don't know. But the homeless
guy, and he was just standing in the middle of the sidewalk
peeing. Ah, now this is the this is the first time she's noticed,
but she's not she's noticed the increase.
Wow. Yeah. Yeah, that's an eye opener.
That's an understatement. So, you know, but Austin is doing
nothing and people now it's the same behavior I saw in San
Francisco. And it's the same people. It's high tech people,
you know, the Google buildings right around, right. And
liberals and millennials who can't say the non
confrontational, non confrontational huge problem,
they know it by the way, and they don't know what to do about
it. Liberals who are just a bunch of do gooders that don't
do anything. And and, and, and the slackers that don't really
aren't going to take part in any I mean, this is a bad mix.
I'll tell you when they'll start doing something not much, but
they'll start doing something. The first time someone winds up
in the hospital because one of those damn electric scooters
wiped out on the writing on the sidewalk over a pile of human
poop. Then people be like, Oh, this won't stand. A bunch of a
hold. We're moving. Riding over when our lease is up. We're
moving.
We can this splashing all over the place.
Oh,
man, there was an article about we were
stupid scooters. You know, that's another thing. It doesn't
take a genius in in city council meetings to stop the scooters
from even being available to anybody. San Francisco is doing
the right thing by picking them up and put in charging $150 for
each one. Yeah, to get him to just get tell the public. Yeah.
So just my advice, you know, it's just steal them.
There was this good article I read. I'm not. You're not.
You're not advocating that? No. But anyway, yes.
Yeah, of course. Austin is next because Austin will Austin
Palissy. New York has got too much.
By the way. Here's another statistic for you. How many
homeless children are there in New York? Oh, there's a huge
number. How many? I don't know. 23,000. That's a lot. Yeah.
Screw them. Open border. No border.
No borders. There's no doubt would do it. That'll fix things
is a term I learned. Called preference falsification? We
were heard of this. No. But I'm
Margaret. listen intently.
Yeah, let's see. Do most people legitimately disagree with one
another or they merely conforming to suppose a dominant
ideas? What's the name of the term again? Preference
falsification. Okay, which is I think it's just another term for
lying. Though there are legitimate disagreements, we
contend that modern American political tribalism has been
artificially inflated by group based conformity. That is the
moderate majority submission to the demands of dedicated
partisans, which has created a mirage of polarization.
And he likes to use a lot of $5 words Yeah,
so let's just keep it at preference falsification, but it
is it is kind of the group thing the cultish pneus of it and it's
on all sides of course.
Oh yeah. It's on both sides. Yeah. Both dimensions Yes. All
dimensions. But I don't I just I have been some you know, I liked
it. I like that is a term preference falsification?
Because you know, you end a certain point it may just become
muscle memory. You know, I am a girl agree with that. You can't
disagree with anyone and within your group.
No, no, you get shouted out in fact, James Woods was just fired
by his eyes.
Like James Woods was ever going to work in Hollywood again. Ya
know? That he I think I think he understood that that was you
guys got fu money. That guy doesn't care.
Yeah, but it wasn't that the guy said that. Hey, you're never we
can't get you work. No, I will get to quit you know, he made a
big he made a statement. Whereas it's Fourth of July Independence
Day you suck. Pretty much.
Well with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to you John C. stands for crush ice Devorah
and in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry and the burner you're
all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water and all the days and nights out there.
Yeah, in the morning to the troll room. Hey, trolls. Thanks
for hanging in. We've had a couple stream issues you've cut
in or out once or twice, but nothing I want to stop the show
over. No agenda stream.com for the troll room and you can
listen to the show live as we do it live to tape. I'd also like
to thank Nick the rat. Nick, the rat brought us the artwork for
episode 1047. Congrats, Canada, the title of that. And this was
the Woodstock esque artwork for our album art. Which was I
guess, call back to your stop the Vietnam War. But here there
was someone holding up a sign saying Get the hell off of
Facebook. It was good. It was a nice fit to Nick Nick's pro he
knows what he's doing. So we appreciate that. And we
appreciate everyone who always diligently uploads the no
agenda, art generator.com It really makes a big difference,
particularly when it shows up in the iTunes chart, which is for
some reason, in the Walton, the news politics section, but it's
always next to the new podcast from Rachel Maddow. And we just
look better. Now she's got her her little RTM logo and we just
haven't something fresh and something new is saying click on
me. So thank you very much no agenda art generator.com And we
have a couple of Executive Associate Executive producers to
thank for supporting us financially for episode 1048.
Yeah, well this is gonna be a slow day. It's Fourth of July.
Solicitation days. No one's no one's listening to the show. So
no one's around. But we do have a couple of people to thank Paul
for being the one executive producer will be Paul Aaron's
Aaron errands.
Arsenal. Arsenal Arsenal

ben de deuced
I was hitting the mouth repeatedly until woke. A special
shout out to Josh and Sandra and baby karma to them. Josh kept
hitting me it until I woke. You've got karma Oh evar
Laurie Amara, Sebastian Paul are very Avari Oh, he's from the
Netherlands.
Yes, you should be able to pronounce it with Dutch
intonation.
There's that's not a Dutch name. So buses, no off a
Friday. Something like that. Leiden Shan Dum lights and dumb
lunch and dumb close. Which is a dam of some sort. I guess.
It's the dam around lights and Oh, yeah. Hello.
Okay, he's got a little note for us. He's contributed to 3333
There's a two parts donation consisting of financial
contribution and content get contribution. I like to credit
both of them as birthday present in my wife, Lena Lena Lena Lena,
for whom I would like to reserve in advance the title of de
Molina of the Moldavian hills. Do we have her on the birthday?
Oh, of
course. Not. Alina, it would be Alina, Alina. Okay. And that's
from Sebastian. Okay, I'll put it on right now while you
continue.
We are a family of Romanians living in the Netherlands and
after hitting her in the mouth some time ago. Alina has become
a fervent follower with the no agenda being the default studio
track for our family trips. Great. Go now you're talking
Nice. By the way. Her birthday is on July the fourth, which is
yesterday. We'd love to hear John shouting. Coincidence? I
think not. On this one. I just did a long site along the way to
D douching. I'm kinda you must have given the D douching. Yes.
You've been D Proust.
That was funny here. Of course, the irony is what he requests,
which is a fierce freedom. No. The entire version of a little
girl yay. And furthermore, a generous dose of job cover for
Alina and a very healthy dose of F cancer for her brother would
be greatly appreciated. Now to the content contribution that I
mentioned. I feel free to read it this year, or make more
extended a segment later in the show. If you find that
this is something interesting, something I think we should
discuss outside of a donation segment. Okay, I've written it
down though I have written it down. Okay.
Yeah. So he says, this is John Keep up the good work on the
recorder. And he needs some kind of get some Nicaraguan cigars
back at the roundtable. Screw you, John. Cubans are overrated.
Well, I don't think anybody in their right mind would think
that but and the best Nicaraguan cigars from what I can tell, by
the way, when they were very popular back in this cigar era,
in the late 90s is long over. Those good Nicaraguan cigars
were made. I know this controversial virgins. They were
made with Cuban tobacco. Really?
Why does that not surprise me?
Freedom. subjugation is liberation. Contradiction. This
world and you will render two
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You go
sir Bruce Wilkie? $222.22 Bruce tonight, Bruce here. Adam. What
do we have to do to get John Rogan's podcast?
I don't think he likes me.
Probably does it? Yeah,
that wouldn't be completely unthinkable for some reason.
Like
my mom may not slice tomatoes.
You're contaminated by me. Ergo, you know likey
me No. likey I think it'd be an awesome guest and we need to set
the pod father record straight. He and a multitude of others are
attributing pod podcasting, the founding to Rogen and Adam
Carolla.
Now what he's saying is Ben Shapiro did that kind of ISIS,
we don't need you to speak for yourself and hit him in the
mouth at the same time. It would also be me me me amazing for the
show. I do named Dave to an $11.11. Dear Sirs, well, we're
not officers, so I'm not sure if that's correct. I've been
listening and enjoying the show a lot lately. And I've never
donated I should ask for do you do?
You spend de deuced
you along with the many producers have a very
enlightening and entertaining product. So here's my first
donation for 211 11 To the best podcast in the universe. He just
got his the douchey knees three Space Forces, little girl yay.
And uh, jobs karma, Space Force,
Space Force, Space Force.
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. That's the job. Karma.
And that kind of ends, the 123 donations. So that's all we got
for Executive Associate Executive producers for show
1087. All right.
1048 would be the episode 88 It's easy to lose track above
one kg. I'll say that for sure. Well, we want to thank our one
executive producer and our Associate Executive Producers
profusely for supporting us. That's why you get your special
mention at the beginning of the show, just like Hollywood does
that we'll be thinking more people in our second segment $50
and above and a reminder on Sunday, we've got another show.
You never know it can happen on a show day. So remember, I said
forex.org/and
A and
oh man, I can't believe I forgot the crying children. I didn't
propagate this. We go out. We had people in the mouth shut up
gave
some funny happened the other day. I have to say that I enjoy
the show even more than I used to. Because these are the two
moments in my life at this moment. The two times in my life
that I hear everything perfectly and in a beautifully processed
nice, rich sound. Because
the days because yes, I tell you you can save because you can go
back into the closet was hey, no.
So the hearing aids I've gotten completely figured out I've got
them customized configured. And it's fantastic. But there's but
if you want to be able to hear things you have to and it's very
difficult from it you have to learn to live with depending on
the situation you're in a meal and a horribly filtered sound
and example would be in. In the shopping mall, there's a good
example we talked about the mall. If you want to be able to
hear what people are saying, then you're going to basically
only crank up the mids and everything else has to go down.
Turn on the directional mics, which is one setting by the way,
you have to do that on the fly. And then you can hear everybody
when it sounds like this. And otherwise, it's just too much
noise that comes in. Anyway. So I'm wearing these things. I'm
doing blade.
Stop. Right? Well, I mean, you're just you talking in
vagaries? You are in the mall? You get the hearing aid right
now it's in your ear? No.
Oh, in the mall? Yes. Yeah. In the mall.
It's not,
not what I'm doing. Now. No, no, no, no, well, I'm doing the
show. The headphone is on 11, which is why I hear everything
perfectly. And it sounds really good. And because there's a
noise gate, there's nothing else is being amplified when I'm not
talking. So this is this is the way I wish the world sounded
like this to me all the time. And I can go to I can turn on
music and I can put it on the music setting. And it'll sound
fantastic.
We're stopping. What do you mean, you poke yourself in the
eye? How do you make the settings change? Oh, I
thought I told you this. So there's six settings pre
programmed. And you have a button on each unit. So I'm
actually it's an odd thing is
a big giant button. I find the button. minuscule? No,
no, no. So the way the modern hearing aids, it's not just
something that's stuck in your ear canal, you have the unit is
hanging behind your ear. Then there's a copper wire pair that
goes into a relay the called a receiver but it's really a tiny
speaker. And that is in your ear canal. So so the unit contains
the battery, the processing, and you can one button on each one.
So if the right ear volume goes up left to your volume goes
down. And either button if you long press it'll change to a
different program and the little lady's voice or go music or
she'll go party or urban or universal.
You with me? Yeah, I'm trying to visualize Okay, so you got a
little thing in the back of your ear that you can push a button.
Yeah. And you push it until you wait for the lady is because
little voices come through which is kind of cool. And tells you
what settings there's all this lead off. There's other
cool things. For instance, if this doesn't happen with me, but
if you Well, I thought it wouldn't. If you lose one, then
the one that's still in your ear will go last mate. Which is an
odd message to receive you
lose one.
Well funny you ask. So we're up here on the 29th floor and I'm
taking some garbage some cardboard box to throw down the
chute.
Are you still using your little thing you stand on? A little
thing I stand on used to stand on a little thing for a little
scooter thing you
know I'm just walking down the hallway. So the other day
happened to that thing. I gave it away. And it's a deathtrap I
want to die so I'm walking down the hallway I go to the garbage
room we have two garbage shoes one for garbage one for
recycling. And so I'm I got this box and I won't fit and so I'm
crushing the box. It clips my ear the hearing aid flips off
hits the box. I try to grab it now it goes down 29 floors. I
couldn't hear it more than five of course and ping ping ping
ping, ping, ping, ping ping ping. Like okay,
wow, that's what I call a freak accident. Yeah,
so I I immediately jump in the elevator go down like that you
jumped in the chute.
I'm like I'm not I shouldn't throw anything after it. Because
you know, even though I might mark where it is, you know, I
don't know what could happen it could draw I know I got caught
somewhere it's it has a wire on it. You know there's he can get
caught in anything. So I go downstairs, run to the
underneath the building. I can't find anything. And one of the
maintenance guys appears and I tell him the story is like, Are
you sure you put in the right hand one said yeah, in the
recycling? You're really sure so yeah, okay, good. And we go into
where the where these big containers are where all the
trash dumps in from the entire building. And I see what he was
saying about the regular garbage because it goes through a
mulcher. And any, if you're throwing something down that
that tube, it's gonna get mulch, but and there it is. There's the
the recycle container, and it's up to my chest I'm looking in.
It's like, oh, I can't see anything kind of kind of get in
focus anything. The maintenance guy hops in 30 seconds, picks it
up. And it's in the wire. The wire had dislodged from the
little speaker. So I'm like, well, at least I have that part
of the unit. And they said, Oh, and there's this he picked it
right out of the recycling. Wow. And the what happened then?
Well, first of all, when this took place, as I said when he
was going green blink blink blink blink down the chute my
other egos last mate to understand kind of how I can be
useful. And then when I had it in my hand when he gave it back
to me it went mate found
Yeah, I can't imagine if you're a complete idiot you don't know
you lost a mate that would come in very handy.
Uh well I don't know what it's like to be completely deaf or
very very deaf and that these things are only marginally
helping somebody so maybe I don't know. But anyway it's nice
to be doing the show where I can hear everything perfectly
because man what a handicap that is really
sucks it's an interesting device, that's for sure. Oh,
there was that model.
Oh, and oh, yes, we have the there's all kinds of interesting
agents
a big clunker hanging off the back your ear looks like
Sungrown you know,
look, no, it's not geriatric beige. And it's not a big
clunker. It's very small. It's
beige. Send him photo of yourself wearing the product. I
think everyone would love to see that in the next newsletter.
Okay, but you can't see it when I'm wearing the product. We'll
have to do a close up of the
I want to see what yeah. I want to see the button.
You want to see what the button or the button Okay, well, how
about Tina? We'll take some pictures. We'll snap some shots
of close ups of my ear. This will be a newsletter exclusive.
Yeah, totally. I'm not gonna tweet it.
No, you're not this is only for us people can't be doing that.
But try to get that to me tomorrow and then I can get
right on it. There wasn't sure if we're bringing a couple of
weeks we'll see it folks.
Anyway, it's a fascinating field fascinating. How's your bionic
eye doing by the way?
All right some good night another month I'm gonna guy have
to have a
this is what happens when you get older people just so you
know. It's like this
flame cornea, which is keeping me my vision 2040 instead of
what it should be. Oh, it so it has to go another deer gonna
give me some different drops to him.
So it's like, why? What? How did it get inflamed? That just
happens or just
turns out to be some genetic thing.
Like me. I've got the genetic hearing thing.
Yeah, well, together report. D which
I feel that together with your eye and my ears. I feel we
should get a parking pass. I mean, honestly,
really needs a day all you need is a dishonest doctor. Yeah. I
don't know why the areas we're talking about ailments. Yes.
I've been carrying this this cuz you brought it up. We never
played this by your play the by the bipolar ad?
I can't remember. Yeah, no, we played it after the show. Yeah,
you said you have to hear it. Here we go.
Sometimes, button disorder can make you feel unstoppable. But
mania, such as unusual changes in your mood, activity or energy
levels can leave you on shaky ground. Help take control by
asking about your treatment options. frailer is approved for
the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes of bipolar one
disorder in adults. Clinical studies showed that free or
reduced overall manic symptoms frailer should not be used in
elderly patients with dementia due to increased risk of death
or stroke. Call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles or
confusion which may mean a life threatening reaction or
uncontrollable muscle movements which may be permanent side
effects may not appear for several weeks high cholesterol
and weight gain high blood sugar which can lead to coma or death
decreased white blood cells which can be fatal. Dizziness
upon standing falls, seizures, impaired judgment, heat
sensitivity and trouble swallowing may occur. You're
more than just your bipolar one. Ask your doctor about frailer.
Bipolar serious businessman.
Yeah, so hey, this is good news.
What the bipolar medicine make we
we've gone beyond Okay. Tim Allen is back. Oh,
that's right. Yeah, it's his show started already. Or they
just clip
last man standing is back. Hi time Fox got a show about a
family guy. Plan words. Last Man Standing Fridays this fall on
Fox Two.
I never really watched the show when honestly, I've
watched it a couple of times. It is actually funny.
He's a he's a he's a ham radio guy. That's the show. Yeah, I
think he's he ends the show
is showing or jokes about him because he's a right winger and
everybody else isn't. And so it's like he has a slot if it's
funny, it's a funny show. I mean, the guy's a funny guy.
Yeah. And of course, you know, Disney kicks it off the air for
no apparent reason. And then of course, he gets a first chance
of making amends and gets a lot of publicity and they kick the
Rosie show off the air. And I think maybe Rosie could be
picked up on Mon Fox but
Rosie you're calling her Rosie now What the hell is wrong? I
see Rosie you said a number of times twice what is wrong with
you? Are you are your best friends with her like, hey,
Rosie, thanks for calling. Let's
dig into Rosie O'Donnell. What
is wrong with you?
I was thinking to Rosie O'Donnell.
Well, the whole Disney thing was of course preference
falsification?
See how I brought that back? Yeah, but it's it doesn't work.
Now.
I know. That's still wanting to try that wanted to try. Keep
trying,
but it's not gonna work. There was? Yes. Okay. All my clips,
all leftover clips I have now are well off. Well,
don't do anything left over at the moment. Because there was we
have big news this morning from Euro land, the ineffective and
powerless. European Parliament voted the copyright bill, which
has the controversial controversial article 13 and 11.
In their 13 is the they call it the meme clause, where
everything has to be scanned for copyright when you upload it to
a site that that uses user generated content, UGC and
article 11, which is the link tax, which is news organizations
want to be paid if someone links to their articles. Everyone
retired the law? So they said no, no, no, it can't go to the
trial log. This is where it would have gone to the trial
log. l o u g, not quite sure what the trial log does. But you
know, ultimately, these people don't don't create laws, they
get to say we don't like it. And then it goes back. And I think
if they'd say this next time, we don't like it, and then it gets
a yellow card maybe or a red card. And then it has to then
then ultimately can be put on the real back burner and bring
it back in a year and do the exact same thing and it'll pass.
But it's so insane. Then, of course Paul McCartney was out
there saying this is good, it hurts artists, we need to have
this pass it pass it pass it. Which just not a good look for
problems. Not a good look for Sir Paul. Well, I understand.
Well, what he's saying is antiquated. Yeah, he's saying,
Well, you know, how can young musicians ever really build a
career if everything's being you know, stolen and, and given away
for free on the internet? Well, you know, Paul, just because you
finally were able to buy back your publishing after having
someone killed Michael Jackson. Now that's different, you know,
do you have songs that go way back, and you have an enormous
catalogue, but it's a different world today. It's, you know,
it's broken. The whole, the whole, or the traditional model
is completely broken. But he's out there trying to, I think
he's doing
let me put my two cents worth in on this whole thing, when even
when it began, when the music thing began, it was bitching and
moaning. I had a lot of columns that I produced on a monthly
basis, and they were all being photocopied. And they're being
passed around. They're in other people's newsletters. And there
were some people just blatantly stealing them and putting them
online. And I wasn't getting any compensation for this. And I
wasn't getting any support from all these musicians that were
moaning and groaning about all you know, we're losing all these
sales. Well, I mean, I had my stuff stolen and all writers,
all writers had their stuff stolen by the copying machine
for eons before this ever came up as as a problem right and no,
and when the whole thing became a problem, nobody supported said
anything about the writer stuff being stolen. Well,
I'll tell you in the Netherlands, when I was in
fourth or fifth grade. I can't remember exactly what what the
circumstance was, but we had a mimeograph machine, which was
the old school
way of, of copying one of many Oh,
I smelled so good. And then you got that mimeograph
machine if that's your thing, the Ditto machine?
Oh, it's called the Ditto, not the mimeograph. The one that
smells good, yeah, that's the Ditto machine. Yeah. Okay. So
the Ditto machine, you got that piece of paper? Can you just
smell it just me saying it you? Oh, man, it smells so good. Cuz
so high off of that. And I was like, Oh, can I can I just print
a copy of the book or so it was something about that. And it's
something I didn't have because I just entered the Dutch school
system, but they were very clear. Oh, no, that's illegal.
Like what do you mean you got a machine right here, just press
it and go put a new prop you got a copy? That's illegal. We can't
do that. That was the first time it's and it was in Holland was
very nice. Oh, no, no, that and that was a night here and
generally accepted policy and people really respected that
even if they didn't quite understand that and threw by the
wayside very quickly. But at the time, it was a real thing. I was
impressed like, Oh, okay. I don't want to steal from
anybody. But yeah, of course that was going on here. Sure.
I remember one time I'm going through this. After hitting
Microsoft moaning and groaning all. Microsoft had an internal
kind of a publication. It was like a newsletter to the
employees that came. And in one of them, somebody sent me one of
them this they had about 40 things in it. It was all
everything was stolen. They had one of my columns was in there
or stolen by Microsoft.
Those guys have no shame, and all the power, I will say that I
got a couple, couple off the grid things to share. As I
continue in my quest for zero tracking and and pro sanity,
because that's really what this is about. I've been trying the
Nokia 3110, the 3g remake of that classic Nokia phone. And I
am sad to report it is no good.
So everything you've done so far, with anything that came out
that's new is sucks. is no good. Yep. And as opposed to as
opposed to the
71.
Yeah, the old stuff. Yeah,
the 71 is so far, just so much better. And here's what
happened. It wasn't a multiple multitude of interesting things.
As you know, I'm just trying to have be connected, I want a web
browser, I want text messaging, and I want to be able to make a
call or receive a call. That's pretty much it. That's all I
really need to do. The web browser is important in almost
every phone has the web browser. But the text messaging does
become important when you know, you know, I'm off of WhatsApp,
and I've never had messenger and all that stuff is all gone. So I
still want to communicate with a few people like you, you and I
will text back and forth. So all of a sudden, I'm not receiving
any text messages and the phones. I call T Mobile and then
in the middle of the call burr burr goes into Robocop mode and
it crashed at the phone's rebooting like what is going on.
And so first, I do what we used to do, it was always so much fun
if your phone was broken. And this will this will bring back
memories for a lot of people. If your phone was broken or was
wasn't wasn't working properly. You just pop the back off, pop
the battery out, put the battery back and boom, your phone worked
again. Remember those days?
I still have those days. So that's what I use a phone that
you can remove the battery.
I know well, your your your genius. Yes, that's it. So I
finally am able to talk to the T Mobile guy who was very helpful
I might add and they always have Americans on the on the call
people in America. Good. Yeah. It's so much better than
anything I've ever done is good. And he says, Well, you know
what? Cuz he's in there was interesting. Oh, you're using
the Nokia 3110. So I guess they they see that immediately when I
put the SIM card in? Sure. He says, okay, so I can send text
messages. I can't receive them. And it's and as phones crapping
out. And he says, Have you deleted any of your your
messages lately? So now who the hell does that? Oh, wait a
minute. Yes. If wind back the clock. And we go back 10 years
in time? Yeah, the phone is filled up with messages with
text messages, which these days, of course, contain photos and
all kinds of stuff. So it was out of memory it had eaten up, I
don't know. 30. Meg's or whatever the phone has
internally. So it just broke. Oh, so you don't think about
these things, but how much memory we actually consume.
So that's like the hard disk of today's era. Same idea. Exactly.
The old days, you get a hard disk. And this was a plan they
get to about the year 2000. You had to clean up your disk,
because you're starting to run out of space. Yeah. Starting
again, a little bit with this silicon discs because you don't
the bigger ones you can get about a terabyte, you can't
really have an internal hard disk much bigger than that right
now. But the terabytes, probably enough, but generally speaking,
you'd have to start thinking about it again.
There was a and the more I walk around with these phones, the
more people are, you know, when they see me again, they'll say
like, Hey, you know, yeah, you're that guy. guy with a
phone.
Yeah, yeah. When you get to get the mustache with the big
handlebars,
but they but they do say You know, you the girl at the
checkout counter the other day? So you know, you really did wake
me up about all that tracking stuff. So what do you mean?
Well, you know, that they know what you're buying and the
connected to it. Yeah, exactly. So what are you done about
nothing? Okay, well, at least I got her. Well, I would love to
be aware of though. Yeah, she's aware that's better than
nothing. But CNBC had a report on what they call declaring
independence from technology, which is so cool tips on how you
can be less dependent upon your smartphone. And I wouldn't have
played this clip. If it wasn't for the fabulous vocal fry of
the adult under 40, that's the correct term. Now John is no
longer a millennial, it's an adult under 40. They feel better
when you call them that. Okay, adult under 40 It was really her
presentation that made me want to play this clip. If you're
like me, your smartphone is practically glued to your hands.
Every email, text message Facebook like distracts you from
whatever you're trying to do in the real world. So going into
2019 I decided to develop some better smartphone habits. Here's
how you can do. You don't have to be interrupted by every light
that your latest Instagram picture receives. A simple way
to cut down on distractions is to turn off push notifications
for as many apps as possible. Personally, I only left
notifications on for chat apps, calendars and utility apps.
Don't let your phone be the last thing you see at night. And the
first thing you check in the morning, move it into another
room to charge at night and wake up using an old fashioned alarm
clock. The most basic step you can take to wean yourself off
your phone is literally setting alarms specifying how often you
can check it start with an alarm every 15 minutes. And when it
sounds, spend just one minute going through any and all
notifications. One of the most jarring ways to curb the time
you spend on your smartphone is to make this screen much less
desirable to look at by getting rid of all the color. I found
this trick incredibly effective for keeping me off apps like
Facebook and Instagram, on an iPhone, go to accessibility
display accommodations, and then turn on color filters. Want to
judge your progress. Consider installing an app that tracks
your smartphone habits like quality time or moment, it will
give you great insights like how many times you picked up your
phone and how long you spent on screen each time seeing those
numbers can help you be more conscious of how much you're
actually using your phone. Cutting down on my phone usage
hasn't been easy. When I'm tackling an undesirable task, I
can feel myself getting drawn to my phone for resisting the
temptation has been helpful. Because I've stopped checking my
phone as often I'm forced to stay focused, which has made me
more productive. I've also been appreciating my time on social
media more, because I'm only checking it when I deliberately
want to spend some time scrolling through feeds. So even
if you only follow a few of these tips, hopefully you can
still achieve one main goal. Having a healthier relationship
with your phone by being more intentional about how and when
you use it.
Brother well first of all, I kind of like her her sultry
version of the vocal fry because she didn't have to talk. No, but
she has she goes down she goes. But for the most part. It is
assault. Yeah, I agree. It
sounds sultry, sexy sound. Well, I wasn't. It's when it's up
talking that when they talk it up at the end of every. That's
when it becomes I think problematic. This girl just
drinks a lot.
Nailed it. Okay. Speaking of adults under 40. I got a very
nice note from Nicholas, our he's, here we go. Adam, I heard
your analysis of the University of Texas study on phone
placement and cognitive ability. You actually wrote a column
about this, John.
I did and I thank you for the idea.
And what's the response been
to the column? It got a lot of retweets. I mean, I tweeted it
out. I know
we had one guy on Twitter who was a night I forget who it was.
And he was
angry. There was a couple of you got irked about it and you're
you guys
are technophobes. Do you have your tech lead? I'm like
that guy you don't even try. That's just dumb. That guy was
just dumb.
And I was really disappointing from a night. So he said,
Well, I didn't know he was message something true. He was a
just something triggered him. I don't know what it was. It's
something about technophobes. All they want but the fact the
fact is, I have been in the scene for over 40 years, the
swingers writing about it. I mean, come on, give me a break.
And we've got kind of a technophobe. Could I possibly
be? Yeah, I mean, to get a house filled with gadgets. That
doesn't mean I have to like every one of them. And I don't
have to like every trend. That's the problem. What you're
complaining about pal, is you're complaining about being
objective.
That was a 1970s neighbor over the fence. What you're
complaining about Powell? Yeah, that was great. That was good. I
heard your analysis on the University of Texas study on
phone placement and cognitive ability. This made me think of a
personal example. And I completely agree with the
study's findings. I'm 18 years old. And with this means I
recently applied for college. I had to take the AC T exam
multiple times. The first few times I brought my phone with me
inside and set it either under my desk or kept it in my pocket.
These early tests I did not do so well sitting at around my
stage average. On the other tests, the phones were collected
and taken to the Proctor's desk. I saw improvement and was happy
with my score, but I knew I could take it to the next level.
I decided to take a class again and they recommended to not even
bring your phone to the testing site. I followed their advice
saw a dramatic point increased a total of 13 points from
beginning to end. I definitely agree with this study and I love
the OTG segment. Thank you for your courage. Sincerely,
Nicholas or I said, Yeah,
I'm based probably right on the money and I bet you that can be
duplicated over and over again. Well, this thing's a plague.
Well, it gets me where
my phone is right ask me where it is. John.
John, What? What? Where's your where's your phone right now? I
have no idea. Always the same with you. I never get old now.
Stand up and do that and then we'll be done. Let me see. I had
a couple of things here that were important to discuss. Oh,
yes, they're just on devices for a moment. There is another new
possible contender. This was sent to me by John in the Lehigh
Valley, Pennsylvania. He says take a look at the Kyocera Dura
XV LTE, which is a feature phone it's a flip phone feature phone
but it has I think it has a five megapixel camera. It has its 4g
LTE it does it can act as a Wi Fi hotspot. Now it doesn't have
a QWERTY keyboard. So now that's why I still like the QWERTY
keyboards and even though the predictive text works, okay,
are they actually t nine? The model number on that one of the
Casio guys here? It makes good gear, by the way. Yeah, it's
the dura XV LTE XV is in 25 or 15. I guess, you know, capital X
capital V. dura XV. And it looks indestructible too, because it's
a military grade, you know, throw it under water for six
hours.
That somebody's making this stuff? Yeah. Well,
I you know, who actually makes his way is Kyocera, just I think
there's a big, big operation. Yeah, they're, they're the ones
who invented the ceramic knife. They also used to be in the Hi
Fi gear business. They're one of the big players in Japan, ha,
ha, Dad copying machines that make some sort of crazy copying
machine is pretty good.
Do they have an ADR? is that can we can we buy some stocks?
I don't think it's a good investment. That's just based on
the fact that they make this phone.
Here was something that we predicted what would happen. And
it just again, shows you that what's going on in the
smartphones and I'm sure that people who all stayed as a huge
insurance company and United States car insurance. Is that
mainly what they do. They must do all kinds of insurance real
estate.
Yeah. But I'm not sure what I'm not I don't know. I'm not
familiar with all the things that I'm sure they do more than
that. But they would go on well, I
all state wants to give people a deal.
You're in good hands. I think with them. Yes.
You're not a good neighbor. Allstate is tracking incar
smartphone use. So in insurance companies can either push or
reward drivers depending on how they use their mobile phones
while driving. The technology works by using the smartphones,
accelerometer and gyroscope to sense whether the device is
being moved likely in a driver's hand or lying flat on a surface.
And this system arity is called can also tell whether the phone
is unlocked. And if apps are being used, they'll all you do
this event. Of course all state will soon use the technology to
determine consumers car insurance rates. Yeah, and but
here's the here's the interesting thing. So you have
all state and a lot of people do you probably have the app on
your phone. Well, they analyze data from 160 million trips by
hundreds of 1000s of Allstate drivers and they found
confirming research showing the drivers on their phones are more
dangerous Hello Sherlock. Hello but how about that so while you
were just thinking oh this is great in case I need to get a
hold of my insurance company if I have a dust up you know if I
have a bang up they were tracking your fucking excuse me
your behavior and now based on that probably have already
determined what your rates going to be without them even
announcing doing it this way. They've already got the
information on you.
Yeah, you're screwed
is super screwed. And then this we know this
should be if you're texting and messaging chat.
The the Smart TV business is another article I came across
Who are you know they're tracking what you what you are
watching Samba TV, I think Have you ever heard of this outfit?
No. So they aggregate Smart TV data. And let's see they
collected viewing data from 13 and a half million smart TVs in
the US But here's what here's what's interesting. They
actually are tracking the pixels on the screen. So they're not
there. They don't care if, if you're watching something
through a satellite dish or cable or through Uverse, or any
of this, or if you're on the Roku, they don't care. They are
tracking the pixels using recognition to know what ad is
playing, what movie, you're watching what TV show you're
watching. With these bugs in the corner of the screen, they'll
know what to what channel you're watching, without having any of
the underlying data from the from the content systems
themselves. Sounds like a Cluj. Sorry. Well, it's how much more
of a Cluj is it then then doing recognition on photographs? It's
the same, same basic principle.
I don't like I, well, I have to say these face recognition
systems. And now it turns out that if you if you wear the
makeup of a juggler, I liked that one. Coulomb and I think
it's because of this the second set of eyes in the forehead. I
think if you actually if they should, I don't I saw that
article, I wish they would have deconstructed a little better
and test it because I would love to I have tested these machines.
And they are very hard to fool. I've never been able to fool and
I'll bet you if I could put two black. You know how the football
players and other athletes put black under their eyes? Yeah,
the charcoal, if you put it over your eyebrow, two big black
lines, I'll bet you you would have some difficulty.
Yes. And you'd make lots of new friends.
Hey, man, how you doing?
I would say three, I would say three things. Because apparently
the Juggalo thing is one of the things that confuses is the chin
line because you get a black belt there. So I'm thinking if
you took two black lines over the eyebrows, and then one black
line under the lower lip, big thick black line, like a like a
mustache line, big thick. Just a big line. So you have three
lines on your face, you look like you were you know, maybe
going to a party or something. I'll bet you that anything would
be confused. This was a way to go.
Yeah. And you know, it's the best is to do that when you're
dropping the kids off at school. That's when you want to test
this stuff out.
Your dad's cool.
Two more things. One, the very popular stylish browser
extension, which I I would never install something like that. I
never heard of this. Yeah. Well, I saw people read and respond to
your tweet saying thanks. I just uninstalled it.
Yeah, I retweeted the thing. Yeah, that this was going on.
But I to be honest, I never heard of that thing. So it's
from user styles.org. And,
like, good idea. Yeah. So they,
they have a browser extension, which you put in there and you
can, you know, manipulate the way every web page looks. And
you can, you know, it's nice for you to customize the experience
to the way you want it. But it turns out that it's taking all
of your browsing history, and uploading it to their home base.
So that's Thank you very much douchebags. But this has got to
be the best, this has got to be my favorite. Because we always
knew and it was widely published,
that Google
will send their incredibly smart AI and machine learning bots to
go look at your Gmail to see if there's anything relevant there
that we can use to advertise to you. That's the story. They've
always stuck to it. And people seem to be happy about it. They
don't care. It's like ads, just email and never, never anything
important on email. But now we learn. Now we learn it's a
little bit broader than that. So Google revealing
that it allows software developers to scan the inboxes
of millions of their Gmail users. Actually, of course, this
comes on the heels of Facebook's
Well, it does. And you know, and it's quite shocking. Gmail, by
the way, has 1.4 billion users, nearly two thirds of people
actively use, you know, email, use Gmail. So it's a large,
large pool of data. What's shocking about this is what we
know now is that there were actual humans going through
unredacted emails, maybe yours, Charles, maybe mine, who knows,
going through them, and then creating computer programs to
use algorithms that would carry out certain words that would
allow advertisers to send Charles Payne, the kind of
advertising that they think you're interested in for the for
those particular products. You know, Google says yes, this is
part of the deal. You sign up for all these free, wonderful
services. Part of the other side of this is that your data is out
there for advertisers to access question is if you were given a
choice, would you mind anyway? One more simple yes or no one?
Yeah, that's tough. I mean, we knew that was going on with the
searches that what your Gmail No, I
think I felt like it would be too far. Yeah, exactly. Thanks a
lot, maybe.
Maybe a step two. via could just be. So, you know, and I'd like
some confirmation on this, we got lots of confirmation about
the face bag developers who are able to access profiles and
profiles of profiles on the older apps. But I'd love to hear
from one or two of our dudes named Ben who have experienced
with access to Gmail through an API where you can just look at
people's inboxes. I mean, yeah, I'm sure I'm sure that the
person has to approve, and I'm sure of it.
I'm absolutely convinced that there's no way that anyone's
going through this email to look for stock tips. insider trading,
why were you doing a deal or merger?
And here I was here, I was just thinking dick pics, man. Of
course stock tips. What am I thinking?
Of course, that's where the money?
Yes, I understand that's where the money is. But it was a
little shocking to me and not lie. I'm just surprised in
general how how people how Cavalier they are with their
especially with their email?
Yeah, oh, well, that's okay. No big deal. And all I use Gmail
for is needless spam to send clips, clips, they're gonna see
all these clips, and they're gonna say what is working? So
this guy secretarial services? Yeah, exactly. Either that or
audio gear, it still baffles
me how Gmail has with our with our full approval has full
access to our email that they give. I would say that they're
just not it's probably not willy nilly. But they do give some of
their preferred partners access to your Gmail with your
approval. Of course, why can they still not really use all
that great AI and machine learning to figure out how to
not give you the secretarial services, spam? I mean, are they
just not good enough?
It's all I'll tell you what it is. It's a loaded crap. Oh,
crap, the whole thing is a scam. It is no a I mean, they got the
AI with the face recognition. Okay, I got that. But that's
just a series of algorithms that they kept working on and working
on and working on as math is really math is not something
thinking. Right? So there's no intelligence involved. It's just
a lot of grind, grind out stuff. But no, they can't they can't do
anything. They can't figure out the human being yet. No,
thank goodness. Today is the fifth of July 2018. And a day to
be celebrated with the more acronyms stuck together than you
could shake a stick at. Did you know today John, that we
celebrate LGBTQ Ste m de
becoming a red buttons bit. I am nobody will get that joke, but
somebody will go I'm sorry. It's not a joke. I'm LGBTQ and I'm in
STEM. I'm LGBTQ. And I'm in STEM. I'm LGBTQ. And I'm in
STEM. Enamel stem. I'm LGBTQ and I'm in STEM. I'm LGBTQ. And now
I'm in STEM. I am LGBTQ name is Sam. I'm LGBTQ. LGBTQ, and I'm
in STEM. I'm LGBTQ. And I'm LGBTQ melting. Yes, there we go.
When you get
one way to be LGBTQ,
there's more than one way to be instead, diverse problems need
diverse people. Join us on July 5 To celebrate the first
international day of LGBTQ people in STEM.
It is LGBTQ STEM Day go look at it.
Today. Is LG be a STEM Day
LGBTQ STEM Day. LGBT. Org LGBTQ S T E M Yes, it's a real thing.
Now for those who don't know, in the United States, we came up
with this acronym stem, which which is support which is what
all children need to be. Y'all need to be stem, which is
science, technology, engineering and math. And then we had a
bunch of people who were going along with the group thinking
the program and they said well, could we make it steam and add
to an A for the arts lit? Well, of course that lasted for
months. You can't have that Shut up, you idiot. Now stem, no art,
no art for you stem just stem.
So I have a couple of issues. This is kind of an exclusive
kind of a thing. Well, I have not inclusive This is terrible.
It is terrible because first of all, they only use LGBTQ where
the full acronym is LGBT t t QQIAP. So you've excluded a
whole bunch of letters. Yes. And I was reminded again, I was
watching the new season of queer I which I recommend to everybody
you could dudes, dudes, you can watch this with the gals. We do
babes. That because it's it's lovely, it's male vulnerability
and emotion. And it's it, you'll like it, and she'll like it, and
you'll have wonderful sex. But there was one episode. And it
was a transgender, who they were fixing up with their, you know,
they do the house, teach them how to cook the new wardrobe
confidence. And this was a female to male trans. And what
was so clear and they brought up themselves, especially the gay,
the Indian gay, because they're all gay. So the Indian gay, he
said, I had no idea what you're going through and why you want
to actually, you know, remove your breasts and all this. And
it really accentuated and it was done purposely, that this idea
that LGBTQ is a community of people. My gay brothers and
sisters, my LGB BT QQ IAP brothers and sisters, reject
this notion. reject your B, this is actually a fascist tactic.
You're being lumped in with a bunch of weirdos. That's really
what it is. Oh, you're LGBTQ. Q is very different from L from
greed, calm, please go for it. They know what I'm talking
about. Everyone's afraid to say it except for the one. The one
gay guy who started the walkaway movement. He's absolutely right
is what I've been saying for years, is you know, because now
gay men are the enemy of the LGBTQ community because it's not
a community. But somehow this groupthink is pushed you into
that. And it's just a marker, you know, it's like, Hey, John,
do we do any LGBTQ on the show today? Yep, check written, you
know, but your issues and your life and your lifestyles and
what you want out of life is very different from each
others, like the guys who come on this various talk shows and
speak somehow, for the black community. Thank you. For the
black community. They're speaking for themselves and a
few of their buddies. Exactly.
But this LGBTQ thing and then they have the audacity? Yeah.
When it comes to STEM and I guess we're, you know, well,
Complex problems need diverse people. Ah, these are the
diverse people are the people who are solving things dudes and
dudettes named Ben, who have always been non conforming to
what people would call you can
say that all you want but it still takes a high IQ to solve a
lot of problems. Of course,
but it's interesting how a lot of very intelligent people that
always look disheveled you've got your Einstein work but you
also have your your crazy hair left with your piercings look,
you know, for some reason, in today's world,
we're engaging I'm sorry, are gauging
gay gay not my favorite the gauging gauging tip. I'm not on
that. Oh, God. It's like man, it's like you've got your ear
blown off of the shotgun. This is just weird effect. I don't
get doesn't feel. It doesn't feel stretched it out. It's
creepy. But yeah, so now all of a sudden you have to be lumped
together as if we can. We can identify you and you're in STEM
and even science, technology engineering and math. What does
he What does that even mean? But this LGBTQ Ste M It's I find it
outrageous and highly insulting.
All right, all right. All right, play the pet peeve theme not
beating it up. Where people are just trying to just trying to
get people involved in science. I have a fun little entre mon
for 10 bucks are all about global warming.
I have a fun automa a fun one and I know I know where where
this is coming from this must be from the Netherlands. I'm fairly
certain of it. Take a
look at some of the the stories making headlines this morning.
An interesting marketing strategy by drug dealers in
North Central Indiana state police seized ecstasy pills dyed
orange and shaped like President Trump's head of pills the
backwards the words great again said how many of the pills were
found
this I know that this is this is ecstasy made in the Netherlands
only a Dutch person could come up with this and that's where a
lot of your ecstasy pills come from. By the way. I didn't know
that. Oh, the pill factory to Amsterdam is the is the ecstasy
capital of the
world. I had this is news to me. Oh no.
That's where they got the big pill presses. And they do all
kinds of they started with smile. alley faces and then they
got really fancy. It's a real Breaking Bad type vibe with
marked in a certain way. And then you got counterfeits, but
for them to be an orange pill with Trump's face on it, and
then great again on the back. That's Dutch. Again, I'll give
that to whoever did probably right. Or did that was I thought
it was pretty funny.
Well, they never said that the report, did they? No, no. I got
a couple of things. All right. First of all, I want to play
this Megan Markel clip. And I have to add, I'm going to ask
you a couple of questions. Or maybe just ask the audience.
Okay, click first. Yeah, click that. And just
the Daily Mail is exclusively
learning to perform. Megan Markel walks down the aisle with
Prince Harry, she will have to make a full tax declaration to
the IRS, which means she'll have to give them an unprecedented
look into the royal family's finances. Megan will have to
declare all of her earnings from suits and state if Prince Harry
gave her an allowance of more than $100,000. This past year,
she'll also have to declare any money she and Harry have made
since they began living together. And like all other
Americans, Megan has until April 17 to get this done. And even
though she'll be living full time in the UK, she will still
be forced to file taxes with the
IRS every single year.
Okay, I know a lot about this situation.
Oh, this is not what I'm going to ask about. Well, I mean, I do
have an issue with this tonight. My question is, how long will it
be before she renounces her citizenship? Because she's in
it. Not to say that people should do this, but considering
what she's up to. She's not an American anymore. Why should she
be? She's a British Royal. Why should she be in fact, get rid
of these traitorous traitors. So number one
reason is treasonous.
Traitors, traitors. I like traders. Neither one. Neither
should one. Now. The bigger question is, isn't it illegal?
And I don't know if it's in the Constitution or isn't some some
federal laws that you cannot really take a knighthood, let
alone the due date lady of Sussex? Yes,
it's treasonous. You cannot take on a foreign title
against the last treasonous. Yep. So they either have to
arrest her. Yes, good idea. Immediately when she shows up in
the country, or she's going to have to renounce your
citizenship. This is now never discussed.
Is your soul right? Wait a minute. What is the what is the
law called about? It's no foreign title us it is a foreign
title. Give it I just want to find out exactly what the
nobility in America it is. Article One, Section nine clause
eight of what? Constitution? No Title of Nobility shall be
granted by the United States. And no person holding any office
or profit or trust under them shall without the consent of the
Congress accept any present emolument office or title of any
kind, whatever, from any king, prince or foreign state? Well,
maybe she has. Maybe she has consent?
No, he does not have congressional approval. She
needs to get that she's never going to get it then she needs
to be arrested. She needs to be arrested immediately.
Arrest Megan. Megan now there's something I'll go march for. She
is blatantly ignoring the Constitution of the United
States of America and everyone's just fawning over her John, you
know, buddies mentions any of these facts. This is a great
fact. And it would be so you know what, even the M five M
could could do entertaining work with these facts. Ya know, that
story? That story would have been much, much more interesting
if you could bring in the Emoluments Clause. Donald Trump,
you can Lincoln right back to Trump. Perfect. Yeah,
it's an angle for getting at Trump.
Yes, you're talking about Megan with the emoluments. So what
else in hot water is President Trump? See, I can make the
bridge.
That's exactly how you do it. There's your transition right
there. Yeah, that's your second another one. That's kind of
awkward. So Maxine, Waters is out there bitching and moaning?
Yeah, still, even though she's been told to not not do it. But
he should play not Maxine's history but play the first one,
which is just Maxine, and we get a little idea what she sounds
like,
prepared to make whatever sacrifices needed to be made. I
am not about to let this country go by the way of Donald Trump.
How dare you? How dare you take the babies from mother's arms?
How dare you take the children and send them all across the
country and to so called these detention centers, you are
putting them in cages. You put him in jails, and you think
we're going to stand back and allow you to do that. I don't
think so. Millennials stay Whoa.
So she's, of course Obama did the same thing. But she didn't
say anything then. But what got me was in this little speech of
hers, she kind of rewrites history a little bit. And I want
everyone to listen to this because apparently, the way
slavery ended is not the way I thought it did. History,
not the history of those who have separated children from
their parents. As an African American woman, I was raised on
the stories about what happened on the auction block. When they
auction off Africans, they took the fathers and they sent them
one place. They took the mothers and they sent them another
place. They took the children, the boys to work in the farms
and to work in the fields and the girls work on domestic
matters in the big house. Well, we overcame that. We fought
against that. We might we fought, and we won, and we're
gonna win again.
Sounds legit.
So she says slavery. She thought about slavery, they were they
separate everybody? Exactly the same because of protesting,
protesting with guns.
They protested the slaves and they protest. They got out in
the streets, and they bitched and moaned, and the next thing
you know, slavery was over, we overcame the whole thing because
of that. What is she nuts?
What they were protesting is black people are the direct
genesis of a lot of the protests for black people being shunned
from places to eat.
I'm talking about during the era of slavery, no, but this is what
she's talking about. What she does, is she mixing things up,
of course, she's mixing her things up. She's Maxine.
I want you to be clean. My love for you is almost obscene.
Really? Oh, you know what I mean? Magazine, magazine, maxi
me.
While on the topic of people to get things mixed
up, I do have a magazine clip, if you're interested. Okay,
well, let's say What's your first step that you can ever
have too much, Maxine? Well, not really. So it was Chuck Schumer
who bitched her out, although he never called her out by name,
but now she's attacking him. Did you see this?
Oh, yeah, yeah,
I strongly agree with those who advocate harassing folks if they
don't agree with you, folks, if you disagree with the
politician, organize your fellow citizens to action, and vote
them out of office. But no one should call for the harassment
of political opponents. That's not right. That's not American.
Were you surprised to have the leadership of your own party
come out and essentially call you
on American?
Well, you know, I was surprised that Chuck Schumer, you know,
reached into the other house to do that. I've not quite seen
that done before. But one of the things that I recognize being an
elected official is in the final analysis, you know, leadership
like Chuck Schumer's will do anything that they think is
necessary to protect their leadership. And so what I have
to do is not focused on them.
I'm sure that went over well,
with that, Chuck Well, actually the if you dig into the more
she's actually called him a racist. Oh, hello.
Said said by the biggest racist of the mall, but this now have
you this is a cool meme that's going around.
And he or she is a racist. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
That she doesn't intend to be but Right. Most racial behavior
isn't really intended. But yeah, of course, she's racist. There's
a meme now on the social nets that I still belong to like
tweeter is an goes as as the following. And you always have
to do at real the real Donald Trump otherwise is done work.
Say, when the Democrats win the house, this election, and then
Maxine Waters will be the head of the oversight of something
committee and she will have the power to subpoena Donald Trump's
bank records.
I'm reminded I'm reminded of the other side of the aisle. And Ron
Paul, when Ron Paul wants to be the head of the banking such and
such he's going to audit the Fed.
No, and the Fed. He wrote a whole board and the Fed said
neither thing happened. By the way. You recall that when Ron
Paul, the grandpa from Texas, who I liked ly endorsed him when
he ran in 2008 I believe Yeah, he was called a racist. Do you
remember it's like some
nice color racist constantly.
Oh, really, again,
yeah somebody weird day they just hate him
hold on John one second I gotta drop a breadcrumb waters run
deep SCOTUS caged Follow The Rabbit
Okay, I'm done. Hill is that okay? I'm doing I'm talking
about people that are clueless but I think we'll be Goldberg
falls into that camp that's you haven't been doing your job me
way I see it
Oh, you're gonna just because you've got a one view clip or
something? Is that what this is about?
Yeah, that's exactly what it's about. So I got this chant. So
this particular clip, which you should have caught since is your
beat is about chance to rapper giving a commencement speech
about an any what he's doing. He's really iterating Oh, and
Obama meme that is very obvious to most people who are familiar
with this. Meanwhile, Whoopi picks it up and goes the other
way with it missing the point altogether. Again, little like
Maxine would do.
Chance the Rapper was the commencement speaker at Dillard
University in New Orleans. And it really gave the graduates a
challenge. Take a look.
All of us have a responsibility to be greater than the people
who came before us. Be honest, his performance was better than
any performance Michael Jackson ever did. They had Mike. Mike
didn't have Mike. Mike had James Brown. James Brown had cab
Callaway and so on and so on. Right now, the greatest
performer who ever lived my very well being this audience. Yeah.
sound do you have to do a chance Paul Simon said something
interesting. And he said, every generation throws the hero up
the pop chart. So the truth is fiance's performance was great
for now. As Michaels performance was great for his time. As every
performers time comes and what you want to do is be the best
you the best you you can be Yeah. And you can always exceed
somebody else.
I don't think I don't think
exceeding somebody else should be your goal, because you may
not be able to do that. But it doesn't preclude you from being
the best you. You Launius thing to be best. Yeah, I don't know.
I think she meant be the best. Yeah,
but Okay, so if you think this is like a good view clip.
I mean, I here's why I think it's a good view clip. I want to
explain what what chance to rapper was talking about was
that Obama meme where nobody's responsible for being successful
or even good. It's the roads that were built infrastructure,
you're shouldn't take any credit. This is like leveling
the playing field. And what Chance the Rapper was saying is
that greatness is built upon greatness upon greatness and
greatness. And, and, and it's, in other words, it's not you.
Michael Jackson was not as good as be I don't agree with the
thesis, by the way, no, as good as Beyonce, and because Beyonce
took from him and on and on, they change it. Just they don't
even pay attention to what he said, Now we're looking to be
the best you can be. He never says that. You ever said
anything about being the best you can be be the best you have
you and I'm just making this up to these people are idiots and I
don't want to get any vitamin COVID In a further but then
Meghan McCain, she comes on. And at the end, she's and she just
goes off the rails and says, Well, I don't know. I don't have
any singers or actors that are my heroes. So maybe that offends
everybody here but I don't see how they can be heroes and when
a nurse should be you're here and then she's just going on
about something else, you know, and it's just listening to this
nonsense. This show is no worst. And so I buy earlier criticize
criticism of you not listening or following the show like
you're supposed to. I pull it back. Don't watch this thing
anymore.
Well, I usually watch it for things like
my vagina, get out of my
way. No, that's, that's the only part that's funny about the
view.
But you actually listen to these People talk to each other now we
need you here's what we need artificial conversations it's
joy Bae harsh she goes off the deep end about Nina Simone. Who
cares what she thinks well I mean the whole
thing is oh no no they're ill This is an example they're ill
their group think ill people and we need to be able to tag them
some way yeah but if we could tag someone so you could you can
just go near them like oh it's one of those yeah okay yeah that
would be cool to know agenda Imagine all the people who could
do that oh yeah that'd be fun that would be cool said no Jew
ever got a great idea
Yeah, I guess you're right. Sir kg want to stop ready to have a
few people thanks are kg understand the $4.75 recovery
karma for his second back surgery this one was to remove a
large portion of the disk between L four and l five don't
need these details before the surgery was successful recovery
is having his ups and downs My surgery was last Thursday.
Last Thursday morning and what did I do upon waking up? boot up
my smartphone start streaming no agenda?
Yeah, good for him Damn. Another no my wife and I this isn't want
to want to read this. have dined at the Red Hand in Lexington.
That's the restaurant we talked about that rousted Sarah
Sanders, we have gone on to many restaurants in Lexington and my
son just graduated from VMI which I noticed was not
mentioned in any of the news reports I just because the
military's Hello. I saw about this incident. It's a nice
quaint restaurant perfect for an intimate romantic dinner is also
very small so much so that you can't help but actually talk to
other patrons as the menu was bit limited which is typical of
a place like this to my liking, always looking for nice. We
ordered was delicious and had great president I understand
this a terrific place.
But the reports I'm getting is that almost all restaurants now
in the neighborhood, including the Red Hen are empty and people
are so afraid to be seen on the wrong side of whatever argument
that that just it's safer just did not go at all.
Yeah, they may have worked. I think they may have killed the
rest. Boy they screwed the pooch. Yeah, really stupid. Like
some restaurant tour say were you kicking a customer out where
they didn't Lester? Rowdy. I mean, it's just because you
don't like them, their politics. It's really steady. So you've
got to pay the price. Which is a shame because this apparently
was a very good kind of one of those high in hoity toity Chez
Panisse type places. Onward. Cameron back in Queensland,
Australia. $111.11 He wants some health karma for his

don't know if anyone caught it. But one person at least donated
a rainbow eight. What was the Easter egg? The easter egg was
the boob boob donation it was over the picture of Alex Baldwin

how many downloads we have. I'd never look at it. I was the last

That's fine. Oh yeah, we had a good time. We did. I show up for

And here's your list for today. July 5 2018. Mike Kleckner turns
47 years old we say Yeah, happy birthday to him. Deborah Bradley
celebrating and Sebastian Paul says Happy Birthday to Alina,
she celebrated her birthday yesterday on Independence Day
July 4. Happy birthday from everybody here the best podcast
in the universe. No nights no title changes. No, nothing.
Makes that part of the show easy for me.
Right, this is gonna rushed into this in the sheet.
Let me see. Oh, yes, we had a six week cycle like event.
Another Patsy. I guess the FBI they I'm not sure if the field
office was just bored or what it was. But what we've identified
over the years, and we first identified this as a six week
cycle
before Trump, as it was a six year cycle for at least two
years. Yeah. Before Trump was
elected, really?
The Muller cycle, knew it was actually before Comey got it.
When Comey got it. He busted it up.
You're right. It was the Muller cycle, Huh. Interesting. But
it's back. And the way it works is you find some guy who has low
IQ. And then you know any any, he's probably been trolling
around looking at ISIS. He's impressionable. Yeah, looking at
ISIS propaganda. And the goings Hey, Buddy wouldn't try to blow
something up and you facilitate everything and then justice.
He's about to press the fake button on the fake cell phone in
the fake car with the fake explosive. You bust him and
throw a press conference.
Am I right? In a nutshell, his target
federal investigators say was Cleveland's July 4 parade and
fireworks show.
By the way, when this came out, I was pissed because we forgot
to remind everybody July 4 is when your government terrorizes
you and we that's our public service. We neglected to tell
everyone this and also there was zero reporting on you know,
terrorists bringing out airplanes that ended this year.
I'd like to make note of that not every year as far as I can
remember back to 911 Extra you know, always talking about oh,
we got to have special security whether it's Thanksgiving
holiday weekend or July 4 weekend, which now week.
Remember that as always, Oh, yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa, we don't
want terrorists killing us bringing down airplanes. That's
over. It's done.
His target federal investigators say was Cleveland's July 4
parade and fireworks show. Prosecutors say a tip about pro
jihadist social media postings. By 48 year old Demetrius Pitts
got their attention. Two weeks ago, he began meeting with
someone he thought was an al Qaeda operative who turned out
to be an FBI agent working undercover court documents say
Pitts told the agent a week ago. What would hit them in their
core have a bomb to blow up the Fourth of July parade agency he
used his phone to photograph possible sites to attack with a
car bomb including the fireworks Park.
Just yesterday he discussed giving remote control cars
packed with explosives and shrapnel to the children of our
military uniformed members. But it
was all talk the FBI says Pitts never had any explosives and
said he just wanted to scout locations not carry out the
attacks and was so unprepared. The undercover agent gave him a
bus pass to conduct his scouting trip. But law enforcement
officials say he was determined to be a terrorist. Law
enforcement,
of course cannot sit back in this case, wait for Mr. Pitts to
come to help him act.
The FBI says agents arrested him yesterday after he talked about
trying to plan another attack for later this year in
Philadelphia, his hometown. Yeah.
I'm so tired of this waste of money and resources. And that's
just the press conference part. Come on. The guys posting
something weird and you honey trap him instead of, why don't
you say, Hey, bro, what's wrong with you? Let's sit down. We're
from the FBI, you know this, we got your eye on you now we're
gonna make sure that you understand that you know, you,
you get
their history in policing and law enforcement. I mean, they
just go by the book and say entrap the guy minutes. This is
pathetic, because most of these people can be just sat down and
scared, and actually may be turned positives that we say,
well, if you want to keep this up, maybe we can help you can
help us catch
some people. Exactly. Yeah. Thank you. Whatever happened to
that idea to catch the bigger fish? That doesn't seem to be
that because this because they're probably lying about
half of what happened here. And you read the affidavit and it's
just easier during you know, just some sick, but I think
there's some sick humor involved. I think they're
laughing about it. Really. They think it's funny or real for the
government. Oh, yeah. Really? No. Oh, that's disturbing. Yeah,
it is disturbing. I'm sorry. I had the thought. But I can. I
can see it easily. What do you think we get? This guy is so
stupid.
This FBI stuff has got to stop. Let's just get rid of it. We
shouldn't replace the FBI. Not ice, shoot. Give ice the FBI
stuff. Now you're taught? Right. super
annoyed, Gary. You already have the eye.
Yeah, they don't have to change much on the jacket. You know,
they can just paste it over. Just paste the letters over.
Yeah, I want to respond. Someone asked me on Twitter to to
explain this. And I'm happy to do it because I have some
standing in the area. There is. And again, this is just the
latest outrage. I don't know if it'll reach peak if it'll reach
peak. But Melania Trump is getting paid a million dollars
for her pictures being used by the press. And in positive
stories only.
Have you heard this? No, but it sounds very dubious.
Well, what what happened to and of course, the way the meme is
spread is, you know that it's the Emoluments Clause once
again, you know, that just profiting off the American
people and their fame. Let me explain what's going on. There's
a series of photographs of Melania and her family. And then
this series was made by a pretty famous Belgian photographer not
famous enough for me to remember his name. But oh, yes, rejean
Mahal may even be a he she. And it's 187 photos in total. And
they've been licensed to Getty, which is how Bob people know how
photography works in this day and age, but you know why
paparazzi are always like just fighting to get that to get a
shot of the celebrate it. And and to get it first. That's the
whole reason, the most exclusive or the most crazy shot you can
get of the person, the subject to get it first is worth a lot
of money.
I would say anywhere paparazzi getting up to $10,000 for one
five
to 10,000 for a real primo shot,
certainly is a few 100. But you can get a lot of money if you
hit the right. But
yeah, and then you sell it to the agency and and of course
then there's reproduction reprint rights using it again.
So you can't just take a photo willy nilly and use it for your
publication. I've sued gossip magazines over taking one of my
pictures from Flickr, I think it was and just putting it in their
magazine. I said, Well, you owe me money because I had the
copyright on that. In fact, I had Creative Commons and that
was a groundbreaking lawsuit because it was the first time
Creative Commons was applied in court. And I won I didn't win
any money of course it was Holland but yeah, I want if they
do it again, then I make bank but that never happened. So
anyway. So it's very common for a photographer and this is a
bunch of really, you know, let's just say golden crusted photos.
What did I say? You said I make bank? Yeah,
I know. I didn't do like that. Yeah, well, I do I'll make bank
really mad.
Yeah, I make bank.
So the photographer makes a deal with one or more press agencies
like Getty, they do photography. And and anyone who wants to use
that picture can pay and then a portion goes back to typically
just the photographer in most cases, but I can see how someone
who has made money off of her image exclusively as a model,
and not a supermodel or anything. That top model made a
lot of money, you know, through her image. It's not uncommon for
her I have one of those deals of course the photo is never used,
but you will get a piece of that like a royalty off of a record
if you had a sample used or something of that ilk. So now,
all the reporting says somewhere between 100 1000 million
dollars, of course, it becomes a million minutes for every
photograph taken. But now it's for these photos. If someone
would want to use this, and the stipulation is you can only use
it for a positive story, which is that if they want that,
that's fine. It's not going to get used a lot. But when you see
the pictures, he goes to one of the three of them and the gold
apartment with the everything's gold just dripping with gold. Of
course, someone would love to use that with the headline, look
at this shithead where's your golden toilet or something like
that? I can imagine. Yeah, so you just restrict that. So
that's the story. I mean, there's not much to it. It's
just a big big hand
by the way if they're gonna do stories like this about busting
her for this thing, they can go to the agency that owns the
photo and actually get the real price. Yeah, they don't have to
guess the price at $100,000 is probably but they don't really
reasonable they
don't know how well that's how much he's made so far. They have
no idea and they just he's not gonna tell them how many times
they've sold it but they can certainly get the price and then
go look for publications and figured I
can get the price at least you know what it is for one time
use.
Yeah. Anyway, doesn't matter because
about five grand? Yes, yes.
Five grand for one time you see me i Anyway, it doesn't matter
if someone asked me to explain that. And I thought Yeah, most
people probably don't know how it works. But that is the whole
reason for paparazzi is not just the the paparazzi you're just
there for one thing and one thing only money if they get
that great shot of you. Especially if you're angry and
looking in the camera or you know, Britney Spears that must
have made a lot of money when she wasn't wearing any any
panties and getting out of the limo. Remember that?
I don't know if it made that much money because it was only
it. Can it be used? Well, the town,
the tabloids? Yeah, it was used a lot, right?
They pay they pay good, good, good bank.
They pay bank, they pay the bank, they pay a good bank could
pay good bank man bank, and you just smacked your lips to boot.
But the lipsmacking that goes on on network TV is beyond belief.
Do you have an example? No, but
I do have an example network TV that what is that quite narrow.
This is CNN. This is a CNN clip where it's talking about this
sort of gaffe, a CNN clip of this woman Simone something
she's taught.
She was a Bernie Sanders campaign press person, I think
yeah,
she taught she gave a course at Harvard, she makes know that for
sure. She got to do a beat.
I saw this with Don Lemon. Yeah.
I thought it was interesting, because I want you to count the
number of times. She says, fact of the matter. Yeah. I'm glad
you clip this, that the
site should be listening to about strategy, about long term
goals about playing the long game about not having a litmus
test for candidates. Because every one every Republican knew
what Donald Trump said what he stood for. A lot of them weren't
on board. There were a lot there were a lot of Never Trump errs.
But when it came down to election time, or to back him,
at least in front of the cameras, what did they do? They
backed him, and they bought,
I just bought, Don, if I may, I just want to make a point here,
like I taught, I taught a whole class at Harvard about this this
past semester. The fact of the matter is a Democratic party is
a party of disparate factions that have organized in an under
an umbrella of quote unquote, shared values, which can be
debatable, you put five progressives in a room, they
might tell you, the party stands for five different things, and
this is what you equate with. But this is where you wait, the
Republican party to the Democratic Party, I think is not
understanding how the parties are, in fact made up. The fact
of the matter is,
it's not understanding how elections work and how elections
have consequences. Because there were people who were on the
Democratic side, many of them including Bernie Sanders
supporters, who were shouting down allies, Hillary Clinton,
whether you liked Hillary Clinton or not, I'm saying the
same thing that was said about Donald Trump, whether you liked
them or not, whether you liked Hillary Clinton or not. The
strategy, the intelligence of shouting down an ally and
damaging candidate, oh, then all of a sudden you get this. That's
all I'm saying. Everybody on the Republican side on down,
I don't make a quick 22nd. I will make a 22nd point on this.
The fact of the matter is the Democratic Party failed to
together. This is a collective effort. We failed to make the
courts a motivating factor in 2016. That's the result of all
the polling. I've seen all the focus groups I've sat in, and
the many places that I'm at. I'm sitting in Indianapolis,
Indiana, right now today where Senator Donnelly is in a fight
that I think he can win. So the fact of the matter is, we
advocate about what happened in 2016.
Oh, man, yeah. And it's interesting that I watched that
clip and was listening to the topic. and didn't really catch
the incessant fact. Let me see but this is the fact of the
matter hits the fact
of the matter is
oh man, forgot about that one.
Ah. Well, the other thing was funny as he's talking about
being shouted down and or she's talking about it and he starts
shouting her down on the show. And she says, Oh, lordy says,
lordy, lordy. Sad news. Yeah. Ed Schultz died. Ed Schultz The
Gannett RT Yes,
64. G natural causes according to sources. This is the guy who
got kicked off MSNBC went to RT and then Putin killed him. And
what happened?
Doesn't make any sense. He was the biggest. We had some clips
of him he used to go.
I got a clip here. There was this clip. I don't know what it
is just random
submarine activity. If the Pentagon has detected some type
of ejection from a North Korean submarine, who knows whether
their stealth ability is there or not? They could park off Los
Angeles or off the west coast and deliver something from the
submarine. Isn't that the real concern for the United States
right now?
Without question. I mean, remember when we're talking
about a nuclear weapon. Now there's that what is this one?
A surprise announcement tonight from one of the most high
profile leaders in America, Starbucks chairman and CEO
Howard Schultz, no,
this is wrong shall
go fight if there's something that has to be really old,
because he used to do these huge rants about Republicans.
Maybe this was this just moments ago, the United States Senate
voted 62 to 36. This was the scene in the United States
Senate. Only 36. Democrats voted no on the Keystone wanted in the
Senate. They got to me. There's no amendment that is worthy of a
democratic vote. There's no amendment. I don't
know. And never mind. Well, I would just appoint as he used to
really go off. I mean, he would go nuts. Yeah, I can't
say that. I miss him now that I don't have any good clips. Yeah.
Anyway, we'd go nuts. And then when he went to RT, because I
kind of became an apologist for Trump.
Yeah, well, he was a pup and for puppet for Putin.
He was a that could be he was a chameleon in terms of he was
just a professional entertainer. And just change size for the
money but yes, do bad Hey, he was actually pretty good. He was
a very good presenter on RT I'd say
I we didn't have that many clips of him surprisingly. Or maybe
they were not happy
there's nobody fighting follow him that close you didn't follow
him. Follow him so well. Here's something for your wasn't that
you're right. He wasn't that funny. No, it's not to us.
Here's something from your wheelhouse, which you apparently
have missed
10 getting back at
me. Angela punch punch a won the Miss Universe crown for Spain.
And now we'll compete internationally. Oh shoot.
Yeah, this is the Treasury's trans Yeah,
she's trans. Didn't we predict that what happened but we didn't
expect it to be this year?
We predicted it would happen and we didn't have any time line on
it. We could happen anytime they happen. I'm waiting for the time
that the one that I'm waiting for is what is something similar
to that singer? That yeah, with the beard with the beard, I
think Miss Universe with the beard. I
like that. I think you know, that's Yeah, I agree.
I think that will be that'll get some attention. Mm hmm. People
will be tuning in to see that I'm sorry. It's really bad.
Identify as a female.
I'm sorry. Yeah. So it's we've had real troubles with the
connection it seems whenever you say something in an animated
fashion, if you go up in your level of decimal, I could be
over modulating and killing the connection. Okay. Too late now.
to back off
to back off thanks for thinking of that.
Oh knows.
I did want to play just a minute and a half of Kathy Griffin on
ABC Nightline.
Oh, god okay.
And it may be that only works with video but just hearing her
will be good enough. I think she's an alien. And if you look
at her head, it should be everyone should go ahead and pop
open a browser in and and being a close up of Kathy Griffin's
head She looks like one of those male aliens. Now she's very
short hair because she shaved her hair for her sister's
cancer. Without just that she looks like an alien. And here's
what she had to say.
So let's talk about the picture. Okay. What were you thinking?
Really? Drill?
Okay, you have a different question that I've been asked
for a year and a half your ABC?
No, that's the only reason you're interesting.
That's the exact question you get every time. What were you
thinking? What were you thinking?
Okay, so here's two things. Number one, obviously, I wanted
to shame him. It is I refer to it, I wanted to shame it. I
don't believe it's human. And what I was thinking was some
sort of ascend up and believe it or not, I'm not a Megyn Kelly
fan. But I do remember him saying famously, as you do,
there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of
her wherever. And I was doing a wacky photo shoot. And I
thought, all right, let's get you know, a Halloween Trump mask
but a bunch of ketchup on it, and see if he likes it when
there's blood coming out of his wherever.
How is it not an invocation of violence? In what ways? Not?
It's a photo.
Have you seen the cover of Der Spiegel? Have you seen any of
the famous iconic covers of magazines, you could take any
one of them and accused them of inciting violence? Also, I'm
Kathy Griffin, the comedian. So it's not like I'm someone I'm
not an elected. I'm not a general
know what she just said here. I'm not an elected. I'm not a
general. That's alien speak. That's what they call it
wherever. Whatever planet she's from, I think they call it an
elected.
Elected I'm not an elected, I'm
not a general. I mean, who comes up with that? I think these are
the wherever, whatever alien planet she's from. I'm pretty
sure that they have electeds and they have generals
I'm not gonna argue against this thesis.
So it's not like yeah,
that's all I want someone
I'm not an elected. I'm not a general. I'm not an anchor
person. You know, doing the evening news. It's me. And there
are no lines for you.
There's no lines for me. There's
no lines for me what I was waiting for is you to call
Theramin that's what we're that's what we're missing. You
got it yourself. I forgot. I was remiss.
Yes, it's okay. But I'm not an elected. I don't know. It just
kind of all came together when you see her you know, gee, man,
you look kind of weird.
She seems like kind of an excitable alien. I can see that.
Yeah, the thing is I can't disagree with this excited weird
things but one issue but as with her
an excitable alien I like that see, I do have to actual
contextual content filled clips. I don't want to just do throw
away stuff because we end the show Canadians I might
my subs all good I don't have throwaway stuff. Oh go ahead
then well maybe the Mad will have inverted the daily callers
kind of throw away.
Oh, okay.
No, I don't want to I want to play it now. All right, do
you have something non throw away because I have to
I think it this is an interesting clip. This is the
pot legal. But But banned on the East Coast. I find this to be
very peculiar that the East Coast only play this and you do
explain selfish mindset Morrow
Massachusetts will
become the first East Coast states who allow the sale of
recreational marijuana. Nine states plus Washington DC have
legalized pot for adults, though Vermont and Washington DC have
continued to bar sales. And Maine has yet to begin them.
Marijuana is still federally illegal and many minutes Valdez
and Massachusetts have banned or temporary temporarily blocked
the pot industry.
Isn't it weird that this is the Liberals stranglehold on if they
have any one state as Massachusetts. I mean, they
can't elect a Republican there and they then they won't sell
the marijuana there. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Why they're everybody's so back east why they're so reluctant to
even take part in the sales and taxation and all the good that's
supposed to come out of legalized marijuana. And these
are the most liberal people in the world. This is a good point.
This is why I was always shocked when California didn't vote for
it immediately in Colorado get the credit for being the
Pioneer. Hmm. That was going on?
I don't know is that's a very good question. I really don't
know. But now that you've now you mentioned it. Hmm. Well, I'm
sure we'll get a lot of theories about that. But I'd love to
hear.
I don't think there's a good one.
You never know. You never know. Let me see. What do you have to
have? There's so much So we did push a lot of this stuff to
Sunday, some good things, although I, this is all right,
semi throw away, but the Dutch Prime Minister of Rita was
visiting President Trump in the White House and did one of those
sit downs and where the President says, you know, is our
best ili. But it used to be our closest ally. That's what Obama
said all the time. And he said that to everybody, our closest
ally, our best
ally. Yeah. And they don't these guys do that. Well,
but Trump does more like yeah, we do good business. We do good
business. And Margarita, who is now we've talked about it a baby
face he, he's in the people, I don't think people are very
happy with the job he's doing. And they just bitch about him a
lot. And then, you know, some people thought it was fantastic
in the Netherlands, that he finally here's someone who spoke
truth to power. He stood up, stood up to the evil Trump, a
lot of the country was laughing about it. But here's what went
down. And you will have to think about the ditch accident venue,
listen to him speak Yes, it's
a great honor to have the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands. That's the official title. That sounds very
beautiful. But it's a great honor to have you. We work
together and have a very, very close relationship. I think the
relationship with another lens has never been better than it is
now. We'll be meeting over the next two weeks, again, at NATO.
And we'll be discussing that today also, and we are
discussing trade, and the EU and lots of other things. Tremendous
numbers are coming out of the United States and our
government, our economy is very good. It's probably the best
it's ever been. And we are very close to making some very good
trade deals of fair trade. I didn't want to say good, I want
to say Fair, fair trade deals for our taxpayers and for our
workers and our farmers, that a lot of good things are
happening. I think the EU, we're going to be meeting with them
fairly soon. They want to see if they can work something out. And
that'll be good. And if we do work it out, that'll be
positive. And if we don't, it'll be positive also, because No,
we're just talking about those cars that far in here. And we'll
do something right. We have to work but it'll be it'll be
positive. But again, Mr. Prime Minister,
so he said, no, no. Well, the elites in Holland were cheering.
He said, No, if you saw if you said no, he said no to the
Trump.
Say no
to the Trump saying, even if we don't get a trade deal, it'll be
beautiful. And the guys know, the Miss get the trade deal.
There's no doubt that Trump is saying, if we if we get a trade
deal, it's going to be great. If we don't get a trade deal, it's
going to be great. And the guy goes, no, no,
we're just we're going to be meeting with them fairly soon.
They want to see if they can work something out. And that'll
be good. And if we do work it out, that'll be positive. And if
we don't, it'll be positive also, because no, what do you
think about this cars far in here? And
hero hero overnight hero amongst the elites, so brave? No,
I don't Brother,
do you want to hear him talk a little bit? The Dutch Prime
Minister is pretty, pretty
big. Right? We have to work but it'll be it'll be positive. But
again, Mr. Prime Minister, thank you very much for being here.
It's
good to be here. And can I add to this to the depths, the
relationship between the Netherlands and the United
States is over 400 years old? Oh, yes. Allies, we've always
been friends always be friendly, working closely together to get
and our talks today will no doubt concentrate on jobs and on
security. jobs. The President and I, we are both convinced
that this leaders our prime task,
and Trump is looking at him like, you know, leader like me,
dude, is
essentially to make sure that our countries are safe and
stable, and that we have an economy which is providing the
jobs and the future growth. And there are so many opportunities
between the United States and Netherlands to do more, both in
the area of security as well as in the area of having more jobs
and have portrayed investments.
If you say traits, they say traits, I think we're going to
do some traits, what kind of traits to
do more, both in the area of security as well as in the area
of having more jobs and having more trades. Almost a million
people 825,000 in a shop in the US. Because of that investments
and a quarter of a million people are in a job because of
us investments in the numbers. Well, thank
you so much. It's a great mark, go back home now. Boy. They went
right back home and said there will be no referendum over
referendums.
Yeah, that's true. Whatever that means,
well, they had a referendum which, which is legal, by Dutch
standards. And this was about the MH 17 I think they had a
referendum and ABS which means they have to take that as advice
from the people and they didn't in fact, they said not only
that, but referendums are no good. We're going to just get
rid of them and then people said well how about we have a
referendum about holding referendums and said No, I'm not
gonna have that. Shut up slave just shut up. Shut off finally
got it in. All right. And then I have a candidate trade thing if
you're interested because I don't know if you're gonna
do that and I get to do one more too. Yeah. Okay, I was when I
was about pot the last time the next one is about pot.
Well, let me do this one about trade first. And then you will
we sandwich the trade inside the pot. Okay, good. All right. So
you do you know what tariffs we do or don't have with Canada?
Navia right now?
No, of course not. Okay.
It's very unclear to me. But the cannon Avians in this report are
angry
with its whimsical decor and eye catching color. Lala Bistro is
making a statement on the streets of Buckingham. But its
impact is being felt far beyond the borders of this area of GATT
know,
in response to Trump weighing us awesome.
Inside this collected restaurant is serving up wholesome fair,
but not on the menu anymore California wines and anything
else the restaurant owners can ditch with a Made in America
stamp
we have to do something that to be a stand up of country, that
it's enough it's enough she
learned that's going to cost a lot of money for the people of
Canada.
These comments over recent days that have fueled the desire to
fight back in a calm Canadian sort of way by boycotting
American
goods until this is done fairly and until they fix this mess. I
don't want to be bullied and I don't want my country to be
bullied either.
President Trump is doing is wrong and it's it's going to
harm not only Canadians but all of North America.
on its Facebook site. Lulla Bistro is overwhelmed with
support from other businesses and residents pledging to follow
suit even coming to the restaurant to show it on the
deck. I'm exceptionally agree with what they're doing here
says this woman. That's why we came to this restaurant today.
Why not show our support by eating here? We need more people
we need more people to more businesses to stand up. Will it
have an impact? Well, every little bit counts. Even one tiny
restaurant in a corner of Quebec that most Americans have never
heard of. At least not until now.
I salute anyone who takes it takes a stand I mean this is the
way we this is the way we use our strength and fight back
peacefully. Money Talks Money talks for sure.
So they're boycotting our stuff man.
Right on Right,
right on right on.
A couple of terms, by the way drives me nuts when people I
bitched about this before I don't like hearing right on my
notes from the 60s I mean getting rid of don't like
hearing oh wow which I'm starting to hear way too much Oh
wow. Oh wow. Again from the 60s and I want to point out the one
is missing in the trio is groovy groovy baby. I haven't seen that
come up to the extent that right on and oh wow,
I'm gonna use groovy groovy man. Yeah, you
and I think groovy was ruined by Austin Powers. For guys to play.
I just don't like that we're, you know, here's my thinking on
all these tariffs. I don't think there'll be much real actual
tariff action happening. It feels to me like this is some
kind of spring action that is being wound back really, really
really tight. And then everything's gonna start
settling and it'll be in like a couple of days succession boom,
boom, boom, and then stock market explodes
I hope so. But I don't know what's going to happen and I
think that this is the what the story that you just played was
extremely juvenile to buy that juvenile by the people who are
getting that gauge drink California wine
new though again, we're not going to wear of our blue jeans
today. You know what is outside of people of course who are woke
and listened to this podcast I hereby with the full backing of
the United States of America forbids you from wearing blue
jeans for Bolton verboten Don't let me catch you wearing blue
jeans.
So I have my last tip which is legalized the legal Canada is
legalized pot across the whole country just to spite us smart
guys. Very smart. Hey man, we don't have any California wine
but this is good. This is groovy.
Canada's became only the second nation in the world to legalize
marijuana for recreational purposes. Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau announced today that Canadians
will be able to buy and use recreational marijuana on
October 17. It's a move that Trudeau says will protect
Canada's children's saying on Twitter quote, it's been too
easy for our kids to get marijuana and for criminals to
reap the profits,
our shift in policy will protect you from the health and safety
risks of cannabis and keep those same criminals from profiting
from its production, distribution and sale.
medicinal use of the marrow of marijuana has been legal in
Canada since 2001. Uruguay was the first country to fully
legalize the drug last year.
No, I'd never heard the Uruguay story.
Ah, wow. I want to say I heard it but it seemed like Uruguay
knew about Portugal but they didn't even mention Portugal
Portugal decriminalized Yeah.
And that that was that's been what 1516 years it's been a long
time. Yeah. A long time. Nobody wants to talk about had that
working
well. I don't think they'll legalize weed before we leave
Texas or at least Austin I don't see that happening very quickly,
but they should calm some people down I
mentioned liberals running that day to Austin that
that's the problem. That's exactly the problem. Alright,
everybody, we'll see we can fix these. Oh, I'm gonna say
these glitches.
