big tech guys, all kinds of tech billionaires were loaded with
tech millionaires. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, October 18 2018. This is your award winning foundation
media assassination episode 1078. This is no agenda,
counting her Oshima bombs and broadcasting live from the
capital of the drone Star state here in downtown Austin Jay Haas
in the studio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're still trying to
figure out how to pronounce shisha shogi I'm John C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
I think we got it. Cuz shocky.
You know, the funny thing is you listen to the PBS NewsHour and
Judy pronounces it the old fashioned way. Khashoggi. But
everybody else pronounces is slightly different. There's the
Kush. shoshi. And then there's the shoshi. Yes. everything in
between. It's read. It's ludicrous.
Well, let's stick with the story for a moment because there's a
lot of things going on with shift shift shogi. And should
shogi hit the Khashoggi. Exactly. I'm sure you got some
clips.
On this one. It's kind of a definitive clip. I think. It
kind of does a resident update PBS complete I think to kind of
get brings us up to speed
Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi went missing on
October 2, and the diplomatic crisis over his disappearance
has deepened each day since President Trump sent his
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to the Middle East to get some
answers. Our foreign affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin has
the latest.
For the last day and a half, America's top diplomat has held
emergency meetings with the leaders of Turkey and Saudi
Arabia. And as he left Riyadh This morning, Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo expressed confidence in Saudis ability to conduct an
investigation into itself.
They want to have the opportunity to complete this
investigation in a thorough way. And I think that's I think
that's, I think that's a reasonable thing to do to give
them that opportunity. And then we'll we'll get to judge
judging investigation into Jamal Khashoggi, The Washington Post
columnist and critic of the key show,
he hasn't watched this has shogi stuff that's not so new one.
That's not correct. I
shall quote shogi.
I'll have a whole wheat hoagie.
That's a reasonable thing to do to give them that opportunity.
And then we'll get to judge
judgment investigation into Jamal Khashoggi, The Washington
Post columnist and critic of the kingdom. He hasn't been seen
since he entered Saudis Istanbul consulate earlier this month.
Turkish officials are maintaining their pressure on
Saudi Arabia. For days they've referenced audio of the killing
in the Consulate. And today a pro government newspaper
reported new details on the Saudi hit squad. The Turks they
left the scene after they tortured, murdered and
dismembered Khashoggi a Turkish official identified the Saudi
government's head of forensic evidence as one of the men who
quote Qatar shows his body up on a table in the study while he
was still alive. Turkey has now released images of 15 suspects.
The New York Times reports at least nine worked directly for
Saudi security services, and four have close ties to Saudi
Arabia's de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, I'm
not getting covered. But in the Oval Office, President Trump
expressed confidence in Saudi Arabia. In an interview with the
Associated Press last night, the President said King Salman and
his son the Crown Prince, both denied involvement. And in
response to criticism, he's letting Saudi off easy. He said,
quote, here we go again with you know, you're guilty until proven
innocent. I don't like that. We just went through that with
Justice Cavanaugh, and he was innocent all the way.
There were a number of differing reports everywhere and this one
this was Yeah, backgrounder. But there were some other ones.
Yeah, well, that was the mildest I mean, there were reports about
them using headphones playing loud music so they can chop off
his fingers without hearing him scream.
What I like is the blame Trump for everything. Like NBC, oh,
haunting
image, an international mystery with a growing demand for
answers. And if he's not alive, then it is the Saudis who would
know what happened. We cannot
have a an ally, who murders in cold blood in their own
consulate
Fallout today, Saudi Arabia stock market tumbled tech and
media companies pulling out of a Saudi investment conference. The
kingdom's American Embassy tweeted appreciation to all
including the US administration for refraining from jumping to
conclusions,
we're gonna find out what happened. We're looking very
hard missing 12
days Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi, a permanent US
resident and Washington Post columnist. Turkey's government
says it has evidence he was killed by Saudi operatives,
former CIA director and NBC News analyst John Brennan will be
inconceivable That's such an operation would be run by the
Saudis without the knowledge of the day to day decision maker of
Saudi Arabia. That's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. So a
great honor to have the crown prince with us
the president's close ties.
I mean, I love Saudi Arabia.
I'm pressure to explain.
It doesn't get much better when you're talking about Saudi
Arabia killing a guy to have to insert that little Trump bit
that's that's really good French Yeah.
Yeah, NBC has become very chickenshit with their reporting
close ties.
I mean, I love Saudi Arabia
add pressure to his pledge to deliver severe punishment if the
Saudis are responsible. Treasury Secretary Steve Minuchin. still
plans to go to that Saudi conference next week.
Along with the President and the general investigation, Mr.
Minuchin will make up his mind as the week progresses and as
new information surfaces.
The Saudi government has denied any involvement and issued a
statement today saying it would respond to any political or
economic actions taken against Saudi Arabia. Tonight in a new
joint statement, the governments of the United Kingdom, France
and Germany said there must be a credible investigation with
those responsible held to account and they expect the
Saudi government to provide a complete and detailed response.
So there's a number of things that are going on right now, the
first thing from this morning is that one of the 15 guys in the
hit squad. Michelle Saad al bustani, who was a 31 year old
lieutenant of the Royal Saudi Royal Air Force was killed in a
car accident. Oops. So we got rid of one guy, I don't know
what that means. If anything,
goes there a 15. Maybe he was the No, you can't tell I mean,
the whole thing, you know, they're going going to, for one
thing, and they're just start gonna kill some of these guys.
You know, they're gonna have to if assuming there was something
that actually happened, I mean, I don't believe anything.
This imaginary tape reminds me of Sandy Hook 911 calls. You
know, it's like the we were waiting
for we laid on the show
that we finally got a copy of it and was very mild. So we've
heard about all you know, cutting off his fingers in
telling him to listen, why can't we just get this audio tape? I
do not understand. What's happening is it's folding into
the lexicon and people just saying, well, there's audio of
of this, and there's video of that. And there's it we've seen
absolutely nothing but we're starting to believe what is
being dragged down our throats. Meanwhile, the German developed,
which I would say is a respectable newspaper, would you
Yeah, yeah, I'd say so. They say that Khashoggi was not a
journalist, but a high level operative for the Saudi
intelligence.
Yeah, that's what PJ media says to add a long piece on this. Uh,
you you said,
it's in the show notes. And I have here, Joseph bout. This is
I think, NPR. And he's of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace. And here's what he had to say about
Khashoggi. How do we pronounce it now? What is the what is the
shogi which shows we're just gonna say, Khashoggi, it's
easier for us. You knew
Jamal Khashoggi. Tell us about him and your connection to him.
Yes, I knew Jamal. First of all, because I mean, Jamal Khashoggi
was. So I mean,
by the way, he's kind of saying, well, she is well, and he has an
accent that sounds like he knows what he's doing.
Well, we'll just be alright. Because I mean, Jamal Khashoggi
was so I mean, until two, three years ago, completely in the
mainstream of the Saudi punditry. Jamal was a Saudi
journalist. And this is what's fascinating today to forget
this. He was at the moment a an advisor to the royal court. He
was a an official adviser to former Saudi ambassador to
London, Turkey and Pfizer, who was also the head of the Saudi
intelligence. Jamal Khashoggi was speaking on behalf of the
kingdom's point of view. So it's very cynical today to present
him as the kind of maverick opponent the seeking to topple
the regime and etc. He was not
okay. So just so you know, he was not all of that, that the
Washington Post wants him to be. But I was listening to the John
Brennan interview. Did you see that and I missed it. Okay, I'm
gonna play it and we'll just it's the whole thing is about
four minutes. We'll just play it until we were done with it. But
almost every single question Chuck asks, chuck, chuck, chuck,
Chuck Todd. Yeah. chuck chuck chuck it requested Chuck, as is
the one we'd want to ask. And I think Brennan reveals quite a
lot here. So let's play along with
me now is the former director of the CIA, John Brennan. And he's
a one time station chief in Saudi Arabia. Dr. Brennan,
welcome back to Meet the Press morning, Chuck, as I was sort of
joking with my staff earlier, it seems as if by the way, we have
not seen Brennan for weeks, weeks and weeks, he's really
quiet. And then all of a sudden, he's back on the scene. It's
just interesting to note to never early
parts of the Obama administration, if there was a
problem between the Obama administration and Saudi Arabia,
you were the one sent to try to mediate the situation. So let me
ask you this.
Are you a Muslim? Would?
What is the CIA doing right now, when it comes to some? What
would you be doing right now, trying to figure out this
mystery.
We'll be working with our long standing partners, the Turkish
intelligence officers, as well as Saudi intelligence officers
and others, to see what information they might be able
to share with us, but also looking at what types of other
collection capabilities that we have. And going back into
systems and databases and to see whether or not there are any
indications of what might have happened when Jamal Khashoggi
went to the Saudi consulate.
He's cavalier about it, but it did not just pass me by that he
says that we'll just go into the databases and see what we got.
It's kind of frightening. Those guys can do that. And let's just
go let's just rewind the world clock in our database. And let's
see what we have. You must have tons of information we have
pretty tight intelligence sharing with the Saudis. Do we
know Yes. How likely is it that we would have a hint that they
were they had some issue with Khashoggi that maybe they were
going to arrest him? Or maybe they were going to detain him?
How likely is it that we had some clue about something?
Well, I think it was pretty open that the Saudi government had
issues with Jamal Khashoggi because of his writings. And so
I wouldn't be surprised if US diplomats intelligence officers,
were mindful about the potential for something to happen to
Khashoggi and arrested attention. But unfortunately,
it's
what's our duty? What's, what's the what's the US government's
duty? If you have this information, you know, if the
Saudi government is gonna make it aggressive with you, be
careful when you're, you know, he was it was a US resident, but
he was a Saudi citizen. Do we have Do we have a duty to warn
him, if there's credible intelligence that somebody is
under threat of violent attack, that will trigger a process to
decide about the ability to warn that individual, I don't know
what type of intelligence we had before his disappearance. But if
it was an arrest or detention or a capture of Jamal Khashoggi, he
is a Saudi citizen, even though he's an American resident. So I
am unclear exactly whether or not that threshold for duty to
warn was triggered, but it would have to have some type of threat
of violence associated with it.
Just as a maybe an aside this whole well, he wasn't a citizen,
but he was a resident, and therefore we must take action.
I'm not so sure about that.
Well, I think this duty to warn thing is kind of interesting,
because it's really only been revealed recently. I wonder if
Castellano as he walked out of out of the steakhouse, sparks in
New York City was ever warned in advance. Yeah.
I'm just curious this, the release of Pastor Brunson by the
Turks. President said there was no connection, any connection
here. Could there be some sort of this is the Turks way of
trying to get a little more on the US side because maybe,
by the way, I want to mention, you know, the Joseph Bahuguna,
the Carnegie Endowment he said that Khashoggi was the number
one guy of Turki al Faisal, Prince Turki al Faisal, and he
was staunchly anti Trump. So just you got to stick that in
the back of your mind
want the United States to believe their version of events
here? Is there any connection? You see,
I think one can make the argument that the Turks was
trying to improve relations with the United States, not just for
this issue, but also just more broadly ticularly on the
economic and political front? The coincidence of the two in
terms of Khashoggi is disappearance and Bronson's
release is sort of interesting, but I don't know what it was
that might have been interested in Vancouver and Washington.
There's a lot of people who seem to be pretty confident that this
was likely an order from MBS
Okay, MBS now, I've heard this MBS thing for the past week NDSM
via the press corps in Washington has long since
decided that Mohammed bin Salman is just MBS because he's a cool
guy or something's going on or he's around and everyone talks
about him. And the last time I heard any Arabic name,
abbreviated three letters. Do you remember when that was with
that woman, Cortez running for Congress?
OBL
Yeah, but OB on their record on they did this MBS thing they
started this Pretty soon after he ascended to the throne, well,
here's what defacto throne. Well, here's
what I've learned. His nickname NBS in Washington was also known
at you're going to love this. NBS stood for Mohammed, Bin
Salman, but also for his real nickname at Washington parties.
Mr. bone saw. What? Yes, I'm thinking there's code or
something in this. Because why else? And what was that report
that you had about the bone saw was just started showing up?
Well, wait, what why you can't stop there. You must stop
telling us No, I'm saying you have to continue. And tell us
why he was named Bonesaw. In the first place?
I don't know. I don't know. All I know is is that in Washington,
DC. NBS is known as Mr. bone saw. So I don't know if that's
how he didn't
refer to him specifically. Yes. Before this event. Mr. bone saw
and beaten by this, I'm I'm calling foul.
I haven't been to the parties personally. It's only what I've
been told. So that's all I can say. But the MBS thing is this.
You didn't give me a rationale for calling him that. Mr. bone
saw unless he carries one with him. I mean, then yeah, well,
maybe I'm sure it's a metaphor for what he does or how we
operate in business or something of that matter. I'm not sure.
But let's listen to the rest of this.
And the government, Saudi Arabia, where are you?
Well, I think there are two points if Khashoggi disappeared
in Turkey, when he was at a hotel or a private residence, I
think there is plausible deniability on the part of the
Saudi government. But he disappeared when there is video
evidence of him being at the consulate, the Saudi consulate,
a diplomatic mission under the full control of Saudi Arabia.
Yeah, this this video evidence and Okay, so yeah, we had some
iPhone video of him walking into the consulate.
Let's stop there. Was his face shown in that video?
There was a circle drawn around it, which meant it was him.
There is not we just saw some guy walking into the embassy. We
have no idea who this guy was.
It's not very clear on the video. And by the way, for an an
Apple iPhone video is pretty pathetic. Because that's what
it's that's what it's claimed.
Where it came from. That was an Apple iPhone video that was
taken by the Klan, say
that's the claim. Yes, that's the claim. video. So let's,
let's
say let's say some girl works there, you take a movie of just
some random guy or take a bunch of movies. Oh, this guy, this
guy has my frameless. Let's use that. And claim that he got in
there. And then he never did, let's say you never went in. And
he meanwhile, he, you know, went off someplace else, because this
whole thing was a setup by the fiancee and him to get him out
of the picture. So he doesn't, because maybe they did hear
something that's bad would could happen. Or maybe there would
have been a setup. And the whole this whole thing's a giant hoax.
Well, there may be something else which Brennan comes up in
the next question, which is the last one. So
their denials, ring hollow, very much ring hollow, to go after a
permanent resident United States, who writes for The
Washington Post, and doing it on foreign soil at a diplomatic
mission. To me, it'd be inconceivable that such an
operation would be run by the Saudis without the knowledge of
the day to day decision maker of Saudi Arabia. That's Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman. I think it is just beyond reality.
And so I think it's it's up to the Saudis now to explain what
actually happened.
Okay. Yeah, again, the Saudis you gotta you gotta prove you
didn't do it. Now, here comes the thing that I thought was
curious, what didn't matter if their explanation is this was a
rendition gone wrong. This was an accident. We didn't quote
mean to kill him.
Well, I think there has to be a full account was dead.
I don't listen again. He sucked in a gutter, Saudi
Arabia, that's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. I think it
is just beyond reality. And so I think it's it's up to the Saudis
now to explain what actually happened.
Would it matter if their explanation is this was a
rendition gone wrong? This was an accident. We didn't quote
mean to kill him.
Well, I think there has to be a it's a tell full accounting of
it. And there have been calls for some investigations. Now
listen to this King Salman Mohammed bin Salman. His father
has had a long standing reputation of being fair, pious,
but also meeting out justice to members of the royal family. And
there have been princes in the royal family in the past, who
had been held to account for some transgressions of the law,
including execution. And so I think it's gonna be up to
Kingston mod if he has the mental capacity right now. And
the political strength
if you said, if if you don't think the king has mental
capacity right now,
well, he is aging, and there are indications that he has failed a
bit. And whether or not now he's able to muster the strength and
the capacity to find out what happened, including the role of
his son.
What do you think? Is it possible that the old man like,
wants to get rid of the kid because he thinks he's out of
control? And he was looking for a political way to screw the
kid? And
it's possible, I mean, he does have other pair of parents that
they could take that job. I mean, that is a possibility. And
it does sort of intrigue because these guys this is a giant
family. You know, they you know, what happens in these big
things. It's like, you know, the Romanovs. I mean, anything goes.
And so it's possible, I think they're definitely going to find
somebody guilty of doing something and string a mob, I
think there's somebody's gonna take one for the team. From this
group, you know, somebody that's gonna, here's, here's the way my
prediction of how this is gonna go, it's gonna turn out to be
some rogue operation is going to be some palace intrigue, there's
going to be a conspirator, or two, or three, who are going to
be brought to justice, we're never going to get to hear from
him, they're going to shoot him, or hang him or chop their heads
off, and then all and then we'll be done with it. And we're
sorry, it happened.
Now, that's, that's not the methodology these days, these
days. It just keeps on going. We'll see. No videotape will
hear no audio. And it will just kind of, you know, kind of
blunder forward until some other news event happens. And then
then this Khashoggi will be standing right up there with the
DACA kids. And he'll it'll be forgotten. There's something
there's some reason for this and whether it has to do with the
midterm elections,
the bill everything has to do with the midterm elections, but
they
did blowing this story up. So and, you know, we immediately
was Washington Post journalist, Washington. He's a WaPo.
Washington Post journalist. Do you know, and then, there's so
much hate for Trump and his arms do all that came so fast?
There's lots of stuff that's happened but this all of a
sudden became a major item very quickly, so I can't figure it
out.
Well, now they think about the video of him walking in the
consulate not really seeing much. SO DIVE question the whole
story. That's this phony baloney tape by me can either bring out
the tape is talking about it.
Yeah, the tape is key, either.
Let us hear the tape. Or some they say, Oh, we got all our
intelligence you Brennan himself just is over tight with Turkish
intelligence. Okay, so who in our intelligence agency has
heard the tape?
And if he just went back to the databases and if it indeed was
recorded on his Apple Watch, it went to the cloud?
We ain't going anywhere. They don't have the methodology in
Turkey they don't have they don't there's no Cloud
connection to an Apple Watch in Turkey. It turns out
that if you've got an internet connection you do I'm talking
about
the internet connection it just a Wi Fi in that instance, you
don't
need Wi Fi if it was the new Apple Watch it has it has a cell
connection built in it's still an okay John, but hold on.
There's a tape did listen to this recording let's just that's
the premise there's a recording so and the first thing was that
it came off of his Apple Watch so I'm sure the Apple Watch has
not been retrieved because you know, it slipped off his his arm
when they cut it at the wrist. So that I'm sure they tossed it
or did whatever but the claim is that the recording went into the
cloud no one retrieved the Apple Watch.
That is one of the claims. What other claim Have you heard that?
Well, the claim is that they've some that place was either
bugged or she has a recording or there's a let's just drop how
they have a recording
I think it's kind of key
I don't think not No, no, I don't think so. And here's what
I'm what I'm going to say and why it's not a key. The key is
the recording. They have a recording how they got the
recordings not as important as the fact that it exists. Okay, I
agree. So who cares if they got it from the watch or they got it
from the guys but the point is, supposedly they have a recording
Okay, that's all we need to know. Where's the recording? Why
hasn't it been played to one of our guys or why haven't we heard
it or why hasn't it been released? And how do you keep
the thing like that under wraps for so long bank you,
as any journalists claim to have heard the recording? Not that I
have noticed Alright, so this is bullcrap. There's no recording.
The guy could be alive. We don't know. We don't know we there's
no body. There's no recording. This is just a story and it's
playing on television.
And it's Trump's fault. Well, it's always Trump's fault. Yeah,
well, I'm gonna go with until I until they do something more
than just we go with.
Yes, we go with hoax until until presented with at least the
recording.
Yeah, I agree. Yes. And and I would say that that's one way to
look one way to go because because of the constant claims
of a recording, and then the accusations came because they
have the recording. And where
did that start? Who made that first claim? Turks? Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, they're real trustworthy.
So yeah. And they you does give you the recording, but you first
you have to buy a rug.
I have one more clip. I can't remember though this thing,
which is a millennial reporting on it. I just thought was funny.
He does seem to be saying that holding the Saudi government
responsible just isn't worth the cost. What should the response
be?
And can somebody else step up to the plate?
Well, he keeps pointing to the arm sales, which is
disappointing, because it's, it's really there. I don't want
to say that their apples and oranges. At the end of the day,
when the White House is approaching the security
responses to this Saudi government action, they have to
weigh all the costs, right, they had all the options, they have
to decide who they want to cut Saudi Arabia out of diplomacy
and their approach to the peace process. And for example, the
approached to contain Iran in the region, they have to decide
whether or not to cut those arms sales, because at the end of the
day, it's not going to have an effect on the Saudi government's
ability to get arms, they're just going to buy it from
someone else. So they have to weigh those priorities. But the
difference is at the end of the day. States needs to stand up
and say, these are our principles. You don't go into
other countries and commit acts of human rights violations,
repression, certainly not murder against anybody, let alone
someone who was a US resident, let alone a journalist,
let alone and I think it's this is
a way yes. Just for your information. The Zephyr is just
past, okay, it's late, very late.
If this is a setup, if this has something to do with
either, how about queering the arms deal so the Russians can do
the deal?
Yes. And people must understand. And we've tracked these arms
deals, and the budgets for it, in particular the category
Other, which is always billions of dollars. When you sell arms
to a country, which everyone does, then we do it pretty damn
well. It's not just oh, here's your boxes. Here's your crate.
See it? No, it's an honor. It's like I've been in aerospace and
defense when I was in aviation, and I went to these trade shows
and you get the deal. That's a deal for a long time because
there's a lot of maintenance service training is ongoing and
it's billions and billions of dollars. Parts it's Yeah, I
mean, it's it's it's not just a one shot deal. But if this is a
setup for whatever reason, or however it played out Brennan is
complicit. He shows up on the scene all of a sudden he's been
quiet for weeks. Now he has an opportunity to pressure to help
pressure Trump with the arms sale and and the Davao in the
desert, which is that big meeting that's coming up that I
guess people are immediately prolonged we're not going to go
I don't know, you know, it's pro Trump. He hates the press enemy
of the people a journalist got killed. There's a lot of stuff
that is in swirling around this and I don't think that the
public in general cares at all.
No, but the people involved in his arms deal. Those are the
people that care
Yes, yes, definitely. And the
and the total value of the deals are $400 billion and Trump was
bragging about how it may be one of the biggest ever done and
that alone is makes him it makes it a target for to get cleared
by the by any means POS and
maybe it's just maybe it's just possible that Turkey doesn't
want Turkey Turkey doesn't want that arms deal to go through
maybe Turkey instead of buying from the Russians which had been
in long standing negotiations for like hey we'll buy that
stuff from you I don't know
about the EU turkeys trying to kiss the US but all the time How
come to get some of the moves some of these some of this arm
sales over to the EU they got they make plenty of good stuff
so there
you go what's missing in all of the reporting is any
accountability towards Turkey turkeys just like oh they blew
the whistle good guys Yeah. Oh turkey. By the way Turkey seems
to be good guys. Now the press just talking. There's nothing
bad about Erawan he's not nuts now he's not a he's not a
dictator. He didn't build a billion dollar palace or
anything like that. Now he's Oh no, it's all good. He just wants
to hook up with us. Turkey seems to be the bad actor in this
will make an argue against the debt possibilities. I'm sad to
say I was making all the claims they're the ones who made all
the claims. Along with this with this dubious video of some guy
Yeah, who the hell it is? Yeah, wandering into the embassy and
I'm sure there's more than a few that do that every day.
Have they called Rita Katz yet to come up with some? She? I
can't believe read a cat video. Yes. Gotta call in the pros for
this stuff. Ladies and gentlemen call in Rita cats. Get some you
need. All right.
Who took that video?
That was supposed to be his fiancee?
No, no. Did look at the angle. It's it's up in the street.
Yeah, I think the way it's been reported is she took the video.
No, she recorded him walking on the street, which apparently was
towards the embassy, him walking into the embassy that's just
closed. That's just closed circuit TV. That's just the
security camera video. Yeah. So this holes in the story
everywhere. But the bottom line is move away from Saudi Arabia.
They're horrible Magnitsky Act to freeze assets and block them
from coming in. And Turkey wants to be our buddy
yeah, and maybe the arms deal has been hurt, which hurts the
country has been cleared. So could be well, we'll stay on and
I wish I had more. I don't think there's any more to do until
this you know, either there this is going to either peter out or
they're going to have to come up with this soak. Or they maybe
they're producing one as we speak. You know, an audio tape.
It's possible. Yeah.
And that won't be played
you had a clip from Al Gore on the previous episode where he
said the following
and it now traps as much extra heat energy every day, as would
be released by 500,000. Hiroshima class atomic bombs
exploding every day.
500,000 lot of people sent us information about this bullcrap
statistic, but the great thing was a no way. could in the past
three years because we have a clip from 2015. Three years ago,
Al Gore said this about the Hiroshima bombs
as would be released by 400,000. Hiroshima class atomic bombs
exploding every single day.
Okay, so it increased by what? 20% 100,000
bombs,
100,000 bombs and in three short years, must be a rounding error.
I don't know. It says bullcrap. Then there's all kinds of stuff
now. New term alert. This is this is one you'll like. The
Trump administration says America is greenhouse gas
pollution fell by 2.7% last year. I have not heard this one.
greenhouse gas pollution. I've heard that. Yeah. Yeah, I've
heard that. Okay, well, recently or not so recent now?
Not recently by me. I've heard it. Okay. Well, I like it. Yeah,
it's, it's okay, greenhouse gas pollution. They're trying to get
everyone's attention about this IPCC report, which of course has
been pushed all the way to the background. It's boring. No one
cares and maybe people don't even believe it. But we'll try
anything we got a new
study says global warming will cause a beer shortage because
it's been drought and not hope anymore that this study is
wrong. A co author of the study published Monday in the journal
Nature plant said the study is trying to show that climate
change will impact your quality of life.
impact your quality of life because
you won't have you been to that store. I didn't have a clip. I'm
glad you got one. It's tourists digressing. What What are they
talking about? Is it because they're going to put limits on
that because because beer is fermented and again in the
fermentation prod produces lots of co2 so all fermented products
I figured they'd be going after them because I remember when
when I brought up the idea well carb want a ban carbonated
drinks, carbonated drinks. co2 comes from this pull out of the
atmosphere and putting them into the drinks is not it's not it's
fresh, it's not additive. It's reductive but so the but with
beer that's not true. Beard creates carbon dioxide was so
big that I thought that was going to be their angle. But no
the angle is that high temperatures of the you know the
boiling temperatures that we're going to be getting is going to
ruin the barley crop.
Oh, they they messed it up. We need some regulation.
So and when in fact you can make beer from wheat you can make
beer from rice
rice. Yeah, Budweiser.
Budweiser is the best example made from rice. But made from
rice. Yeah.
The BBC all over the climate change trying to push it
whichever way they can. And they visited the the Silicon Valley
company, which I think you should go do an interview with
the CEO who are making the fake meat.
Now the fake meat guys. Yeah, yes. Another Yep. Glad you got a
clip of that. Yeah, I
got a clip on here at first.
Yeah, sure. Is
this the future of food? Here's Silicon Valley, the future of
food just have taken sales walk from the feathers of a chicken
and are using them to grow meat in this high tech laboratory.
Which means the chicken I'm about to eat is weirdly still
alive.
So there we have it are just chicken nuggets. With a little
bit of Chipotle ranch dipping sauce. They're
gonna dip it in the sauce. Take a bite. It's really tasty. It
tastes like chicken. Oh,
chicken. Yeah.
Although the taste is very similar. The physicality the
feel of it in your mouth is slightly different, right?
I wonder what it what it feels like in your mouth like some
slime wash or slime?
We can work on getting that together. I think you know,
there's, like I said, finding things in the in the animal
kingdom or 3d printing scaffolding. So there's a lot of
different ways we can do it.
3d printing, we're gonna 3d print or chicken, chicken meat.
Like, I like that, like
this farm says it's chicken. We'll be on a restaurant menu by
the end of this year, probably somewhere in Asia.
This is the transition away from raising and confining animals in
the way we do here. There's a reality is 99% of all the meat
we comes from places that if we looked inside, we wouldn't be
that proud of meat production is just as responsible for carbon
emissions and climate change. There it is all the cars we have
on the street today.
Will anyone actually want to eat it? ranchers have concerns to
Missouri has already banned the use of the word meat to label
lab grown product. Whatever it's called, with America's largest
meat processor now investing in lab grown meat. We may be about
to see a new agricultural revolution
that's going to be their marketing man. Save the Earth.
Have some chicken sludge. Sludge gets the texture is a little
off. It tastes like chicken. If it was sludge. I used to go over
there you need to go talk to those guys.
I here's the problem. I agree I should I should but then I'd be
kind of forced because I just
don't want to do that. That is so so foul.
It is no one to introduce whatever cool, weird proteins
they're producing. So no, that's not gonna happen.
We did just to wrap up the agenda 2030 climate change a
nice little piece that didn't get a lot of play because why
would it we launched the new submarine, the USS Indiana it's
a name that has been used before but there's something
interesting about the power plant of the USS Indiana and its
power the first
USS Indiana at a top speed of 15 knots. This 125 knots underwater
battleship by the way that's fast. That's fast underwater
road damn submarine just cruising along.
Battleship number one United States steamship Indiana had two
sets of vertical inverted triple expansion. reciprocating steam
engines sexy it's a lot under the hood back in the day. But
this USS Indiana has a s nine G reactor which will operate for
33 years without revealing magic magic
33 years
Yes. Third privacy this is going to be why net 35 went at 32
But that's still a long time this nuclear people should look
into that maybe
I think it's a good idea. Yeah. And it seems pretty safe if you
can put one in a submarine that's what you can and around
it.
But now the IPCC said no to nukes can't do that said it
right there in the report. Too dangerous. It's too dangerous.
Yeah, well, we No, it's too dangerous. There's
In summary,
I love seeing you on Twitter. You're on Twitter. So I'm your
eau de on Twitter and people
I get I'm getting off Twitter. I'm quitting. People are like,
hey, I want to understand your stance on climate change. I told
I just said you responded. You responded once.
That responds,
No, that's not it. You know, I
am speaking to the choir. Okay. You okay, I got one I got one
low climate I got this EPA, there's a department of the EPA
they're shutting down. And I want to I want to point out a
couple of things in this report. This is on Democracy Now. And
you know, this show is getting more shameful as time goes by
tight I want to play another clip after this. But this is Amy
Goodman, and this is the EBIT. This guy, by the way got an
icewater this, but this EPA changes. Using propagandistic
language and environmental
news that top EPA official who is putting on administrative
leave last month is speaking out about the Trump administration's
plan to disappear her office, the Office of Children's Health
Protection. This is Dr. Ruth Etzel speaking to CBS News.
Oh, it's kind of rude to say it that way trying to disappear me
man.
Oh, that's that's what that's the point of this clip. This is
a propagandistic term used like in the you know, during the, you
know, the various disappearing of
Stalinist Stalin.
Yes, hearing. This is like a propagandist term. The word is
shut down for office or shutting her office down because it's
like, it's some bogus office it was set up by a who knows who
and what is unnecessary. Some prints like what pap light for
the children?
What it? What do they do with that office?
Department? Save the Children? Oh, wow.
We should get rid of it. Screw the children.
Can we play? Yeah, well, that's what this woman says it's pretty
funny is that
the government has absolutely no intention of taking any actions
towards seriously changing blood in children's environments. And
what does that mean for the kids? It basically means that
our kids will continue to be poisoned. It basically means
that kids are disposable. They don't matter.
Hello, where have you been lady? Of course, they don't matter.
That's where we have dogs.
So I have the ISO
plates will continue to be poisoned. Yeah, that's pretty
good.
I think it's okay. Yeah,
let's do what we continue to be poisoned. Okay. You want to play
another
clip on going through Ruby. Now, the other clip I have, which is
a democracy now because it was using. Let's see Trump in the
Fed. No, it's great. It's a very funny famous details wrong about
Trump. Yeah, there you go.
Okay. A federal judge in California how to defamation
lawsuit brought against President Trump by adult film
star Stephanie Clifford, known as stormy Daniels who say she
had an extramarital affair with Trump in 2006. On Twitter, Trump
mentioned stormy Daniels by name for the first time ever Tuesday,
though he misspelled her name writing, quote. Great. Now I can
go after HorseFace on her third rate lawyer in the great state
of Texas. Trump has a long history of misogynistic tweets.
He's previously called Women dogs, pigs crazed, crying,
bleeding, fat, ugly and low IQ.
Oh my god, hold on a second. Hold on a second. Hold on a
second. I gotta play that again. Then I have a little jingle to
go with it.
Before you do. I first have to mention that this is a lie. He
has said these things about various individuals. But he
didn't tweet. These are not tweets. He hasn't tweeted all
that stuff. He said the Rosie O'Donnell stuff. It was before
he became a tweet. Boy, he actually has been using Twitter
for a long time. But it's not like he tweets all this stuff.
Just he's full of crap.
I can't believe the Horse Association of America isn't
ticked off about this comparison to stormy Daniels
previously called Women dogs, pigs crazed, crying, bleeding
fat, ugly and low IQ.
My list and you might doubt this is the Trump rotation and
there's two categories there's the regular and then there's the
criminal but here we go. Ready? Liar, incompetent, unhinged
illegitimate President white supremacist, racist bully,
immature Russian agent narcissist. Mean long tie.
Insane tweets too much. Small hands small penis big red
button, criminal. Mean racist, immature, thin skin runs the mob
has no money. Unstable, fatter than 239 pounds. Bankrupt 25th
amendment that should be instituted. He hates women
misogynist holds grudges forever plays golf a lot obstruction of
justice money laundering and clown
John No wonder we're making America white again.
Which brings us to Orange Man bad.
Oh, yes. Now is this really a thing is, you know, is this
I'll tell you it may or may not be a thing, but the two now
we're talking about NPC the non playable character.
Explain splaying mansplain this
mansplain it. So these guys On 4chan decide, you know, they're
always working on trying to set you know, get stir things up
with memes. Yeah. And so they come up with this idea. And they
have this, this drawing of just a very plain face stubs. It's
like a stick figure face. And this called, and they go into
this long description of these so called non playable
characters, which are involved video games, which are
characters that are just programmed to do certain things
jump up and down, or run around, or whatever they're programmed
to do. And that's all they do. And that's all they're good for.
And so they're, they're taking this moniker and pushing it over
to the left, even though they also push it on some Magga hat
wares, but generally speaking, it's against the less saying
that these people can't think for themselves. And they're all
drones. They're bots. And they're a program. They're all
programs. And so the so they have one of of, of John Oliver
essays, I think there's the one is actually Stephen Colbert with
the face with the little face, they give him glass glasses,
looks like Stephen Colbert. And in the background of the picture
is a program of some code. It looks like you know, it could be
anything, but I think it's see
the code the code is actually an IF kind of like an if then
statement. Yes. And if then but Orange Man bad then hashtag.
Yeah. Looks like it's depends on what you I mean, anyway, the
point is, is that there it's this is out there as some sort
of an insult now, it got legs only because, and I'm not even
believing this. By the way. Twitter took down 1000 accounts
of Orange Man bad, which is the hashtag right
in the end, and the way it worked is because the NPC meme
the non playable character meme, says that whoever you depict as
an NPC is not human. It is therefore dehumanizing. And that
my friends is against Twitter's terms and services, Terms of
Service.
Right. Now, I don't know that any of that is true. Or the
terms is true. If you want me to terminate might be but I don't
know that anybody's who was taken down. I mean, there was a
lot of fake accounts that were put up out of the blue. And they
maybe took those I don't know. All I know is that this thing?
Doesn't have any legs? Maybe maybe not. I think it's funny,
mainly because of the cold bear character.
Well, also, they have you seen the whole video of of our
favorite movie they live? Yes. Instead of the robot face they
put the NPC face onto it, which is just classic is very funny.
They swap out a bunch of things. So sometimes I wasn't
I was looking, you know, is anyone really pissed off about
this? I did find this kids pretty convincing. He's got his
pussy hat on, which immediately made me think it's a hoax. But
either way, this is what's out on Twitter.
Okay, Dustin, 29 here Boston. Antiva I like everyone to repeat
after me.
Oh, he is actually I think Boston Antifa
stop. You think because I thought this guy was a fake from
the get go?
Well, I looked at his page and it isn't Antifa page. So I think
I still think he's fake. But at first glance it looked like it
was real but doesn't matter maybe we'll if we hear the chant
anywhere. We'll know. It was real. Listen to that.
Okay, Justin 29 here Boston Antiva I like everyone to repeat
after me. NPC may go away we are human here to stay NPC may go
away. We are human here to stay. NPC me go away. We are human
here to stay. Shape, shape, shape, shape. Shame. Shame.
Shame. Shame.
It's so out there that it could be real because this is the
stuff we hear even though I agree. I think it's a hoax, but
damn.
Yeah, I saw that too. And they get into this guy's not serious.
Get the stupid hat on. When I tell you about the stupid hat. I
mean, a new show came out 20 segues are just too funny.
Murphy Brown.
Oh, has the show aired yet?
Oh yeah, it's the third episode. And I want you to hear I
unfortunately have it spelled Oh, yeah, that's
for in three years when we're looking for the clips. I can't
find it. It's like a tiny boundary.
You're gonna have to Brown is there now. This is some
dialogue. This is her coming in from a protest. Now. This is a
clip and how long he says only a minute 25 This is some dead
dialogue at the beginning of the first episode. It's a very anti
Trump show it was put it was put pieced together to compete and
it was done in advance when Roseanne was still being thought
you know they were thought they were gonna go somewhere at that
this was the counter show on another network. And you know,
Roseanne dropped dead and Jeremy she does show drop dead
I saw I saw the the first episode icon is what do you
think? I didn't see it. Oh, I thought it was very young.
comfortable at the beginning. There was an even the studio
audience and the laugh track was low. But there were some very
funny moments that I'd watched it again I'd watch the second
episode just to see how they were. They take it from here
once they get past talking about dead Roseanne.
Okay. Well, this show here is just a pure anti Trump show.
With the only dipped only balances, she has a son who
shows up in the show and he is a Trump supporter who she
ridicules and, and his trump support goes like this. Well,
yeah, I know. He's a stupid look in red faced jerk, but you know,
he's, you know,
it sounds sounds realistic. Yeah. Sounds realistic, doesn't
it?
So this is the beginning of the opening where she comes in from
a protest march and some of the other characters come in,
they're all wearing the pussy hats, except her. I have to
watch this now. It she's wearing some sort of a Trojan, you know,
Sparta kind of get up, and she comes into the bar, and she
makes it clear she's not a drinker anymore. And it just is
a very flat. And they have they do have canned laughter which is
always a detriment, but then they hit but they have the
canned laughter turned up way too low. So it's not like it's
not like a lorry show. All his shows. They had the canned
laughter way too hot. Right? And this is like, a little too low.
They get him maybe a little hot, hotter would be better. But
listen to how flat this is though.
I gotta warn you, Murphy. If you double parked your chariot, you
will be towed.
The pink hats were fine for the first march. But it's time to
step it up a notch word war now.
Yeah. Remember when people used to go to brunch on the weekend?
protest marches and the new eggs benedict.
So what can I get you? How about an Irish Coffee but hold the
Irish? You've got to know my brother Phil would have loved
these marches.
It's great for business. angry women drink a lot of Chardonnay.
You know, I still can't get used to being at a protest march
without reporting on it. And probably feels weird, right?
Totally. I've been off FYI for a few years and I still haven't
gotten the hang of retirement. People say why don't you travel?
Well, I've been everywhere. Take up gardening. It would not be
fair to the plants.
Cheese that was a really badly insert a laugh track. Yeah, it
was really
our bodies ourselves.
Oh, for God's sake frame.
It keeps my head warm. It shows that I'm secure in my
masculinity and have solidarity with the women who are out there
marching to shine a light on the erosion of their rights.
How many phone numbers did you get? Just two.
I called one of them. Now I have a timeshare in Boca.
Excuse me, man. I'd like a cappuccino with nonfat milk and
extra foam.
Sure. You wait right here while I
go to Rome to get? Yeah. Okay. And that's from the most recent
episode. Was that the
that's the first episode. Yes. No, it's not good at all. It's
very flat. It's it's kind of forced.
You know, there's a story. There's a story that this does.
Here's my segue to television and advertising. And I think
that this story was very, it was underreported, certainly,
towards the public. It was on business news a lot. But I don't
think it was reported in the context which in which we
understand it. And this is a perhaps may be coming proposed
regulation from the Trump administration, about
advertising the retail price of pharmaceutical products on
television. And I have a clip from NPR.
So what Secretary Azar of health and human services under the
Trump administration, he took to the stage yesterday, and he
announced that any drug that costs more than $35 a month
would need to have advertising on his television.
Aspirin costs more than $35 a month
ads. And the rule is rather specific. It says the
advertising needs to be on a contrasting background and needs
to be easy to read
up. So there are a lot of questions embedded in that. What
What price are they going to list in the TV commercials?
Because based on how much people pay in insurance, the prices are
different for different people. Right?
Right, exactly. So when you go to the pharmacy counter and I go
to the pharmacy counter, our co pays may be different depending
on our insurance, and we may have a deductible we have to
fulfill so the question is what price will be up there? The
Secretary did note that they want list price up there, which
is also a good question. What does it mean? He clarified later
and said it would be wholesale acquisition cost which is an
industry term where nobody can really pays that often. And Alex
Azar made a point of saying that the list price does matter. And
he did this big analogy with the auto industry, on cars and so
forth. And it does matter because it's the base for a lot
of negotiation. And it can be a base for what people who are
uninsured pay. But what it matters to consumers, though it
can be often confusing, right? consoles, right. So if I'm told
that my job,
this is what's interesting, the way I think the way we think the
way no agenda thinking goes, Wait a minute, you were talking
about $6 billion a year in advertising revenue for
television, for the news networks reporting on the story,
who instead of this is why we're going to stick it to those guys,
they have to show these outrageous prices they're
charging. Now, I could be confusing you. We wouldn't want
advertisers to stop advertising because of this rule. Now would
we
buy $1,000 A month, just for example. But I'm only going to
pay a couple $1,000 A month or my deductible covers it or my my
health plan covers it and I'm only paying $50 copay. It could
scare you away from getting that drug. Right?
It can be bad for business,
even though it's it's kind of confusing. It's still demanding
a level of transparency that I imagine the pharmaceutical
industry isn't so keen on.
Yeah. And it is getting a lot of attention. It's something that
is kind of a populist thing that people can grasp onto. And it is
just a few weeks before the midterms, I want to point out
for the November election, so the timing is very exciting,
because people really care about prescription drugs right now,
recent polling shows that price transparency and prescription
drug prices, pulls well with American voters. So yesterday
morning before the secretary took to the stage and made this
big announcement, the pharma industry through their trade
group pharma made a big announcement as well. And they
said, Hey, we're going to do a voluntary measure where we ask
our companies to help educate you about your price. And we
will help direct you on our website to information about the
benefits and costs. And they're going to put together a web
portal that you can go and look at and look at your insurance
options and so forth.
What steering committee committee came up with that will
have a web portal that'll fix it.
i They're going to promote the idea that yeah, the drug is
10,000. You know what they can do? Which I think would be
genius, if they could figure out how to quite how to do it. Yeah,
it's $10,000. But you'll only pay $1 Because of your copay.
Isn't that fabulous? Yeah.
But the problem is, is that that is different for everybody. And
as we know, insurance companies wind up paying $30.30 to the
dollar
for complexities, and if fact is that you paying $1 for a $10,000
drug where the insurance companies paid 10,000 or 3000.
is beside the point. It's overpriced. Yes. And the fact
that the insurance company is paying even 3000 on this drug,
is it hurts the public at large? Because that's the reason our
insurance prices are so high. Yeah. It's a horrible situation.
It's a big scam. Well, I
think this is this is a very interesting development. There
hasn't been a lot of news about it on television news is
these these sleaze balls that run these media companies. They
can't afford to like lose all this free money.
So we'll see how that plays out. But there's I think there's a
little there's some concern in the industry in the in the
television in the Britain, and certainly cable news. I think I
think they may be a little console. I
think though, I think the network news too. I think the
big networks are concerned and by the way,
I was I was talking to a friend who has a son who is How old is
he? He's 12 I think and they're big baseball watches they watch
baseball and yeah, we're doing pretty well. We got the Astros
here. There's my there's my sports segment. We know the
Astros who are I guess are cheaters or whatever doesn't
matter. We're doing well. Astros the Dodgers that are the
cheaters. Wow. Now there's a story about the Astros cheating
now to spy gate. You don't follow Spygate. Anyway continue?
And she said I I'm very uncomfortable because every ad
during the baseball game, he's for erectile dysfunction. And
she doesn't really know what to do with the situation. She's
just not ready to discuss this with
should ban those ads. I mean, it doesn't have it. You shouldn't
be playing erectile dysfunction ads to 12 year old
well, they well it's it is regular primetime baseball and
then
yes, no good. That should be dip. This is the I blame the FCC
for this
and do you think that's the thing that's the only audience
they can advertise to? I mean, is that really the truly the
audience is guys who can't get it up there watching baseball,
as they they're more likely to be watching football. Oh, those
are the guys that can't get it up. I don't know who can't get
it up. But there's probably somebody in somewhere that Can't
get it up. I would say Hillary supporters,
man. Easy now. Easy now.
Well wait while we're talking about television. Oh, I was
gonna
do one more thing on, on on the sexual stuff.
Oh well I would I didn't want to get to veer too far. Okay, we'll
do that and then we'll get back to television. This is from
your neck of the woods Fremont. How far away is that from you
Fremont
I can say if I if my if I didn't have a little arm troubles I
could probably hit it with a baseball
parents against free months proposed new sex education
program started lining up three hours before a special meeting
of the school board and a crucial vote on whether to adopt
the curriculum.
I want to make it very, very clear. We are for sex education,
but with only at the appropriate curriculum at the right age.
The curriculum puts a modern day twist on the old three R's. In
this case, it stands for rights, respect and responsibility. But
parents are against their fourth, fifth and sixth graders
being exposed to lessons on reproduction, sexual orientation
and gender identity. And some parents were shocked by this
book listed in a supplemental reading list called it's
perfectly normal. The book for 10 year olds and up shows full
color illustrations of people masturbating and having some of
it too graphic to show here. It's banned in other school
districts around the country. I mean, I was in disbelief. Unlike
many school districts that wait till Middle School, Fremont has
been teaching sex education as young as fourth grade for years.
But now the district must comply with a new state law called the
California Healthy Youth Act.
Since we have been teaching it we have to then start talking
about the components of that law, which are about gender
identity, and sexual orientation about sex trafficking and many
other topics that people may feel should be for an older
group,
one supporter of the curriculum says kids at that age already
have sexual awareness and questions
at that age. I knew that I wasn't straight. Yeah,
well, hold on listen to awareness and questions.
At that age. I knew that I wasn't straight at that age. One
of my friends knew that he wasn't the girl people were
telling him he was like,
This is so cool. This is I love our language. He, he has it. He
told him I listened to I gotta hear this again, because it's a
he she thing. It's questions.
At that age, I knew that I wasn't straight at that age. One
of my friends knew that he wasn't the girl people were
telling him he was know, at that young age that that is something
that's valid, and not something that they have to be ashamed
about, or to be afraid of.
So just sounds like a little bit of gender. What does it say?
It's interesting studies gone wrong.
I don't know. It's totally This is the Bay Area. They've had
this these gone wrong things going on forever.
Isn't this just up to parents, though? I mean, I wouldn't think
I
mean, that's what you'd think. But apparently they went to this
school. That's why homeschooling is better. The state knows
better. This estate is the state's the indoctrination
system that the schools around here. Were 44th in the country.
According to all these guys running for superintendent 44th,
California rich state, big tech guys, all kinds of tech
billionaires were loaded with tech billionaires. And we're
like 44th in the nation for education. What's wrong with
this picture?
Working out? Well. You put a time down for that. Yes. One
more clip. Okay. You
You had one you said? Oh, yeah, I
know. I want to get back to the TV because it was messy. The
news shows Alec Baldwin. Oh, yes.
Apparently no one watched? Well, I did. That's what I mean. No,
you're like you will now single handedly not only holding up
democracy now as a program, but also Alec Baldwin show is it
called here's the
thing. It'd be a little Alec Baldwin show it good. debuted
last Sunday at 10 o'clock, which is a prime time slot.
Before you got I've listened to his podcast. Yeah, it's called
here's the thing. And it's not bad as a podcast. Isn't the chat
with somebody and it's him? It's well, marginally interesting.
He's not bad.
It's pretty close to the mark. Yeah. Now, this is a show that
would be absolutely fine. Replacing the old Tom Snyder
show at 130 in the morning? Yes. Not in primetime. Not at 10
o'clock. And now what is the ABC I believe? Oh, and it is real.
It's it's Alec. I don't know why they don't change the name of
the show to Alec Baldwin talks about himself.
If he's on ABC. Yeah, I mean, that's he must have done some
tap dance and because of his NBC affiliation.
Yeah, I know. I was kind of surprised that he showed up at
ABC. Yeah, you know, they're all against Trump. So you know,
we're all in together so let's team up here or you know, it's
take one for the team. So he talks about himself incessantly.
And it becomes like even when he got dinero on who's a very bad
guest anyway, because he doesn't like to talk at all. So
Baldwin's yakking about himself and he's going on I get so I
have a clip that goes, it's a little long, it's 213. But you
get a good feeling and you'll never have to listen to the show
again, for this show and Alec talking about himself.
Hello, I'm Alec Baldwin. First up tonight, a conversation with
a true icon of American cinema. Robert De Niro, the Oscar
winning star of some of the most famous films in Hollywood
history continues to be an advocate for artistic expression
and filmmaking as the co founder of the Tribeca Film Festival.
Next year, De Niro reteams with director Martin Scorsese, and
fellow acting legend Al Pacino and the much anticipated new
film The Irishman.
That's the transition.
As you the funny part about the transition, which is when they
cut to a cartoon of him running or doing different things,
they didn't even let it breathe for a second they just chatting.
Could have been my edit. Oh,
let me continue though.
Oh, wait, no, I gotta essentially stopped it. I gotta
mention this. So at the beginning of the thing, he's,
he's standing there in this kind of darkened area. And his you
can imagine people when they're, you know, they're in the camera,
sometimes they're not used to certain to they're
uncomfortable. Imagine standing straight up and your hands
haven't had to stand up to see where they positioned your hands
or right on your, on your thighs just flat.
Is that how it stands? Yeah, it's always
that they cut away and when they cut back, his hands had been
somebody totally positioned. Over reposition. It was pretty
funny. But anyway, you can play it out, and we'll hear this fine
interviewing style.
To a degree, I don't want to overstate this. But you know,
you and I may have something in common because I saw the
documentary about your dad. Yeah, very moving. Your love for
your dad is very moving, keeping the studio frozen there in time.
And the way you maintain that is exactly the kind of thing I
would too. If I had some parallel my life because I had,
you know, my dad was a good guy. My dad was and although the
number of different, you were older, and he was, my dad died
when I was 25. When he was 55. He had cancer. And your dad
wasn't that old. It was only 7071. Right? He was not an old
guy, though, even though you would succeeded in this
business. And he saw you succeed. And you had won two
Oscars before he passed away. Which is unbelievable. What I
sometimes think I have asked him things I wanted to do provide
that Jesus would have sent him
Did you enjoy directing a movie with you? Yes. Yes. I enjoyed
it. I enjoyed it. And I enjoy it. I wish I could go I was
gonna do a sequel to The Good Shepherd. But I still might have
I just have to get the money and set uphill battle. It's a killer
complicated. Yeah. I always remember you came to my house to
pitch to the movie. Yes. And I said to you, this is really what
you're talking about using your persona.
Nice, nice touch at the end. So he talks about himself for two
minutes. And has the guests talk for 10 seconds.
And pretty much yeah, he acts about himself in great detail.
That's not we don't care. We didn't turn tune in the show to
listen to him confess about his dad. See the worst. All right, I
had one
of one television tip, although it's not a television tip. It is
the Quincy Jones documentary on Netflix, which was made by his
daughter. Yeah,
that new because I think they saw the Quincy Jones documentary
some time ago. Yeah, it's
new. And yeah, it's two hours long. And I know a lot about
Quincy Jones. That I interviewed him once. I don't know if I've
told the story. It was live it was called headline USA and was
live coast to coast. We had affiliates everywhere, you know,
the big stations. And and it was gonna be like 45 minutes of us
talking and and then some Collins full hour. And you know,
until I met Steve Jobs, Quincy Jones, I would say was the most
interesting person I've ever met in my life. And I Quincy still I
think maybe above Steve Jobs for me. But he came in he's like,
Hey Adam, how you doing? He puts down a bottle of wine. I don't
know. For what it was, I wish I did. But it was good. And we
pretty much finished it within 30 minutes live on the air and
we're, we're happy. I wish I could find the record. I looked
for it because we were hanging a cake. And I watched this
documentary and it turns out in that time period, Quincy Jones
was a raging alcoholic is drinking six bottles of wine a
night by himself. Wow, I had no idea he was very functional.
Tell you that. Yeah, you can get that way. Yes,
it's a great documentary and it's nice that it's around
before he dies I recommend that highly. Anyway, with that, I'd
like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning

$211.11. Note from the BD method. After John poo pooed
Adam's climate gait report on his show 1076 lean to a
classically pissed off and vulnerable version. Adam, I'm
pleased that this motivated you both to dig deep for a great
show. 1077 the analysis for Kenny and Al Gore were terrific.
May you both continue to push each buttons. Each other's
buttons I think as you go push buttons nevermind. As you push
push each other's to bring better bigger and better
analysis to the table live up to it appropriately. entitled
crackpot butts buzzkill monikers can i get i love you Bernie
Sanders? You know that one? Yeah, followed by a great gig in
the Yoko Ono abruptly cut off by North Korean broadcaster. And it
was not too much extra. I remember some one of David Bowie
cover songs from several months ago. Maybe a spoof on the song
changes or life on Mars to play at the end of the show.
Okay, if I'm still was Susan Sarandon, right? Yeah.
Unless you go goes into tears.
I know but I for some reason I have Susan Sarandon. I give you
a give you Bernie Sanders, but I can't find it. Oh, man.
Well, what is the Susan Sarandon clip sound like
oh, I don't know why it's not the one I know for sure. Oh, you
sure? Yeah. And we see we have Hillary supporters harass Susan
Sarandon and Bernie has balls now it was damn that's give you
it's concerning. This is a classic.
We'll have to put it in a balance. Yeah,
I don't know where it is. It's well, this is very
disappointing. Okay, what is it? What else can I play while since
I don't know
that Great Gig in the Yoko Ono abruptly cut off by North Korean
broadcaster Yoko and then a David Bowie cover song at the
end I think it's good that climate changes would be good.
It's one. Oh, yes.
That's the one well I have I have I have this I guess. I only
have the Pink Floyd. That's what she's looking for. It's too
long. Wait, I have a short drive a short version? Here we go.
It's not in there she wants to broadcast or is there a clip
that's supposed to be like that?
I don't know. I did just it was a very difficult combination for
you to do to achieve if you can't find the dollar tuning.
I'm sorry. It's it's difficult combo.
Okay, brand that was your the best we could do. We'll look for
the Susan Sarandon thing, because it is needs to be
played. Yes. We want to thank all these folks. I guess do
these we get the 110 78. And, and as Adam will point out
shortly, these are real credits, you can use
Yes, anywhere where credits are recognized. And this is a good
showing Thank you very much executive producers, 1234
Executive Producers. And Brian comes in as the sole Associate
Executive Producer. It's highly appreciated. This is where the

And remember, we have another show coming up on Sunday, we
always do our best to bring you the best deconstruction support
us at avora.org/and A gotta find that clip. Because I give you
Bernie Sanders.
Our formula is this. We go out, we get people in the mouth
I have a special announcement to make I have heard from my
millennial contacts, May 19 2019 will be a very special date.
This is a global movement. And it is right now it's kind of
under the radar. People are not talking about it too much. But
on May 19 2019, there will be multiple bonfires around the
world of the rentable electric scooters that may have been
dropped into your city. Yes, it's happening. Yeah, the big
the big bonfire
talking about a pollution hazard. Yeah.
We have so many of those things here. Just getting nuts. Let me
see. What do we have? Oh, yes. Do we need to talk about
Pocahontas and I will say we were calling Elizabeth Warren
Pocahontas. Before Trump was even mentioned running and we've
years how many years that we've been doing this
stuff since the beginning since when I think during the Hillary
during the Obama campaign for president and said a Hillary
Yes. I think in that era, we We started calling her Pocahontas.
So that'd be 2012 2012. Yeah,
yeah. And so then when Trump started doing it, we had to
stop. Because you know, people be like,
I remember we started doing it, we decided to stop that we look
like we're copying him.
Yes. Which is sad. I have a little report then this was, of
course we all I guess we all know what happened because the
world stood still for a moment as everyone had to understand
this news.
This is the video going around social media. Senator Elizabeth
Warren's campaign page, talking about her connections to Native
American heritage. We have an animal she claims in the video
through DNA testing. It confirms her Native American heritage.
That test is something the Cherokee Nation, a sovereign
nation says doesn't prove anything.
To talk now about her ancestry or DNA analysis, we think
muddies the waters have been
Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr. Says he finds Senator
Warren's claims hurtful
I am that is a very special status. It's a legal status.
It's a status that our ancestors fought long and hard for that is
embedded in tribal law. It's embedded in federal law,
specifically, the treaties. We think that as sovereign nations
that means something
to claim membership to the Cherokee Nation, you must be
able to prove that you can trace yourself back to the tribes,
Dawes rolls, the original enrollment documents,
people have this family lore, and they can't prove it. And so
people go through a long and drawn out process. Sometimes
they'll challenge they'll submit paperwork to the Cherokee
Nation, because there's an application process
Cherokee citizens say this isn't a red versus blue issue. It's
about protecting trees and their sovereignty.
I think the important takeaway is that Elizabeth Warren
remembers that is the Cherokee Nation who decides who their
citizens are not individuals.
So here's the question I have. She used this for Harvard Law
School is that where she used it, where she was recognized?
Usually when she was I did, I was gonna clip this, I'm sorry,
I didn't know that you bring it up. She used it for a number of
things. And she kept using it. She used it when she ran against
Scott Brown when she first got the to run. When she first ran
for Senator. She had this and it's on YouTube. She had this
song and dance about how she's a Cherokee. And her mom and her
dad had to elope because your mom was a Cherokee and right.
The first time that well, that's the first time that he was
really made public. But there's evidence that she used to check
the boxes for various things
for so here's, here's the thing about check the boxes. So I
believe she used it to get into Harvard Law School, at least
what I've seen, and I don't know the authenticity of it. But it
appears that Harvard even touted Elizabeth Warren as a great hire
for faculty, as the first woman of color
faculty, so she couldn't be more white.
I like to understand the admissions process. And hearing
that clip about Cherokee Nation and how very specific it is to
be a member of the tribe, so to speak, to be recognized as
Cherokee. Do you just send stuff to Harvard? And they don't check
it? Can you just send whatever you want?
Yeah, well, at that level, sure. They're not going to check and
see if your heritage, I mean, if you check that you're Latino. I
mean, they're not going to check it.
They're not going to check it.
No, I don't think so. I don't think they check it. What would
they how do they get how are you going to
listen she for this particular status? And they which they
touted this? I don't know. It just doesn't make any sense that
a school doesn't check references. I mean, isn't that
kids are running around all freaked out I gotta get for
school. Got to write a bo paper, make a video show a Rubik's Cube
but then I can do that. And you know all this stuff. But
meanwhile, you can just send off some phony baloney info and
they'll believe it.
I think so.
Are they were so gung ho to get oh, first woman of color. the
whitest cracker I've ever seen. Lindsey Graham's his balls, man
that just hanging down by his knees
these days. I've been told that my grandmother was part
Cherokee, and I mean, Indian. It may all be just talk.
Lindsey Graham. He is he's got he's is a researcher. Just it's
an awakening for Lindsey. Yeah, he was held down by McCain.
Apparently. I mean, it's just he's really, He's funny. He's
like what he's doing. Yeah, like what he's doing? Yes. I like
what he's doing. Thank you. Don't you?
I think it's yeah, he's much more ease like he's calmer. And
he's not so uptight. He seems like he's relaxed a lot. There
must have been a lot of pressure on him by McCain or something
just I don't know what to say. Little was with him. I like him
more than I used to. Now he's become kind of a Trump ight Yes,
yeah. I got some stuff here this little.
Well, I have some targeted stuff. If you just want to do
throw aways, I got some some real things to converse about.
Oh, am I gonna throw away just throw away and bite non
impeachment? This is kind of interesting. Okay, this follows
my thesis, which is, which is that there's never going to do
any impeachment. He is all just designed to to get, you know, to
get everyone to vote against Trump. Yeah.
This is your theory. This is your big theory. Theory of
Cornwall. I thought it was something. It's okay. Yes, he's,
he's worth more to them. Not impeach. Let's put it that way.
You wait till the investigation is finished. You don't put an
arbitrary end to it. You wait till it's finished. And let's
see what it has to say.
And if Democrats win the house, do you believe that they may
move forward
with articles of impeachment? I
hope they don't. I don't think there's a basis for doing that
right now. I think we should wait until the report comes out.
Now the report he's talking about the molar report. Yeah. So
here's here's some things that that I've learned or that I have
questions about the first one is it's been now a couple of weeks.
The President asked for the FISA warrant for Carter Page to be
unredacted I guess declassified, along with text messages between
Comey and struck know from now on McCabe, McCabe, McCabe. And
is the FBI just not doing this? It means that and I think I know
the reason why what I hear is that if you if we ever get to
see the FISA warrant, and this was part of the Patriot Act, it
was really important that we would not use any spying on
American people through any covert internet enabled type
means without it going through the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act court, the FISA court where a judge would
preside over it and decide if a warrant issuing a warrant is
warranted. From what I understand the Carter Page, FISA
warrant was not did not go to a judge. It was signed off by
signed off on by Loretta Lynch. Yeah, that's what I heard too.
And then a week later, they went to the judge and said, We need
an extension and he just, you know, just rubber stamp stamped
it. Yeah. And I presume that's why they don't want that
information out. But how does this work? If if, if the
President says this needs to be declassified? Can the FBI just
do whatever they want?
I don't know. All I noticed that I'm not seeing any action here.
But it's supposed to be there's supposed to be all these things
going on. That's like a warning to the deep state. Yeah. So
here's here's the other warning I heard, which I liked. And I
think it's from the Operation Freedom radio guy. Yeah, he sent
us Did you see this about Rosenstein? Rosenstein?
Yep. So he says, I was gonna clip it, but the guys ponder,
you know,
I was going to clip it too. And like, if it comes up, we'll just
talk about it. So he says, you know, a big message to the deep
state was that rod Rosenstein flew with President Trump on Air
Force One, and that means that you know, he's flipped because
he's, you know, he's he's on Trump's side. And the conclusion
he made, which I thought was really good. I liked it a lot.
was all of a sudden we had I think it was a Washington Post
story that came out saying, oh, Rod Rosenstein, he said, in a
roomful of people that maybe I should have wire wear a wire to
attract Trump so we could impeach him. And Operation
Freedom radio, guys. The thesis is, what if he was wearing a
wire, but it wasn't to catch Trump. It was to get all these
assholes on tape, saying horrible things about what
they're going to do to the President. Yeah, I like that a
lot. I like it a lot.
He did point out that right after Rosen,
Stein, Stein,
Rosen Stein, after Rosen Stein took the airplane ride. He
pointed out that it's a secure environment so that you can have
private conversations. In me, maybe, but he says right after
that happened, that's when Hillary came out with a you
know, to get in their face and all this.
I think that's the weakest part of his argument, because that
interview was taped with you know, after Oxford speech, I
don't think she has that much control over it as to when it
aired. Yeah, you might be right. I think that that was taking a
little far perhaps
but but I do have a I'd like to theory sounds interesting, but
it's it's a little an anonymous kind of whatever that Q anon
kind of thinking. So I was, I was watching and CO I want you
to just play this and ask you a question. So this is a show
called Scanlon, which is a talk show that's actually played in
skin Scandinavian countries Sweden but it's done in English
and it's done in New York City and then they play it is a talk
show this very
high talk show about Scandinavia now it's
a bit of an American news talk show but as for the Scandinavian
audience
look kind of like BBC America now
yeah a little bit but it's but it's not for they don't play it
for our audience BBC America is played for American right I got
your show us played for Scandinavians in Scandinavia.
Yes. Okay. So you can only see it on YouTube maybe got it got
they had they had culture on
you says I highly respected show. I've never heard of this.
It seems to be maybe if you look at it, you go this is uh, you
can tell by the production values. And this is not a piece
of shit show. But the guy is like some, you know, stiff, you
know, with that accent that you like to do is and you know,
sense of humor. And everybody's, you know, they understand Trump
trying to figure out Trump and it's like real, but he breaks
you. So she comes on and she's kind of a wise ass anyway. And
she comes on and this little exchange went on, and I was
taken aback by it.
But the thing about that emigrant point I feel like I'm
the only one who actually really wants diversity if all we're
going to have is this constant churning and constant
integration immigration are you going to be we're all going to
look alike there will be no difference there will be no
culture I want to go to Sweden and and you know, eat all my
your last five minutes since we Ikea furniture and listen to I
want to go to Italy and have Yeah, you know, I mean,
I don't get by the way blue buyer. What? You wouldn't last
five minutes and Sweden.
Because she's saying stupid stuff. I want to listen to Abba.
I believe this. I mean, hello. 1970
is beside the point. The point I'm trying to make is not her
idiotic desire. Oh, it's,
it's because she's a she supports Trump.
Is that what are they gonna do to her? She wouldn't last fight.
What do you mean by you wouldn't let go? If I said to you, hey,
you wouldn't last five minutes in Berkeley. What does that
mean? What does it mean? It means is any season I have does
shit beat out
to me. And that means stay away. I'll be like, Okay, I trust you.
I'll take your
word for bro. But she wasn't even hearing it. But the point
is, is that what was that a threat? Let
me hear it again. But
think about that immigrant point.
I wish I knew Oh, they were talking about immigration. Okay,
see this out of context a little tough.
I feel like I'm the only one who actually really wants diversity.
If all we're going to have is this constant churning and
constant integration immigration are going to be
what did you say there?
That's the course of immigration. We all have to
have. What he said constant
immigration, that is not the cost of immigration.
We're all going to look alike. There will be no difference.
There will be no culture. I want to go to Sweden and and you
know, it's your last five minutes since we know the Ikea
furniture.
I think it you know, this is this is just a pissed off Swede
who doesn't like her. And he just said something like, you
know, his version of Fu. It was very rude. Yeah, that's
interesting. She didn't catch it. I'd be like, what, what do
you just say, meanwhile, Sweden, you know, everything's in chaos.
They've kicked out their Prime Minister. We knew this was not
going to go well. So I'm looking to you. Swedish producers. We
needed a little more boots on the ground information, because
all we're getting is slanted stuff. I mean, what's happening
here is not just happening here. You're hearing this debate with
Ann Coulter about Sweden. What do I have? I had a
there's a worldwide thing. Is Soros on his last legs?
Yeah, hold on a second. This is the yes, this is Australia. This
is fantastic. So this is in Parliament. And this is the
leader of one nation, Pauline Hanson, and she she really
touches the third rail and so I've got some responses to what
she said as well. She's so tired of white people being blamed for
everything. And it's interesting this is happening in Australia.
You know who the genesis of the white Australians is prisoners
who are thrown by by mother England, their commies prisoners
of of Mother England. Yet all whites are now being blamed for
everything that's bad. It's the same thing we're seeing going on
here and she tries to make a motion, that it's okay to be
white she wants that codified. Can you imagine someone trying
to do that? I mean, we're a little more advanced than you
down under, you know, you're just kind of catching on to how
this works. This is the third rail,
that the Senate does the reasonable thing today by
supporting this motion. Anyone who pays attention to the news
or spends any time on social media has to acknowledge that
there has been a rise in anti white racism and a rise in
attacks on the very ideals of Western civilization. I would
also hope the Senate does the right thing and acknowledges it
is indeed okay to be white. Such a simple sentence should go
without saying but I suspect many members in this place would
struggle to say it. People have a right to be proud of their
cultural background, whether they are black, white or
brindle. If we cannot agree on this, I think it's safe to say
any white racism is well and truly rife in our society. Wow.
Saturday's me president Aashiq leaves to make a short
statement. He's been battered ladies granted for one minute,
President. With a federal election looming, I'm starting
to think that Senator Hansen and a former colleague, Senator
Anning, and they are locked in a race to see who can be the
biggest the loudest racist bigot in a contest to see who can get
the bottom of the sewer first. That's what this obscene motion
is all about. It could have been written on a piece of toilet
paper, which reminds me of the old story about a toilet
cleaner. People were nicknamed hoppecke Because they were clean
around the bend. Because of all sorts of thing behind this
latest study by Senator Hanson. She's using this chamber as a
conduit for headline grabbing stunts. Senator Hansen tweeted a
very clever line dreamed up by Imagine a giggling cohorts at
the back room, who lied about it's okay to be white, and then
went public with it. Before most of the set up as it was chamber
had even heard about it. She tweeted it and went on sky that
night and published it for him and tabled here in the Senate.
And I would say the sort of racism is not only wrong up.
Dominica has expired. Beg your pardon senators in italic one
minute.
Thank you. Deputy President Tom. Well, it's not just okay to be
white in Australia. It's actually a ticket to winning the
lotto. It's a ticket to winning the lotto just around these
chambers see how many faces you see that aren't white? Have a
look in the privileged positions of Australian society people who
occupy the seats of the rich and powerful how many of them are
not white? Last time I checked, it's the privileged white Anglo
community that are the ones occupying the seats of influence
look the reality is this it's okay to be white slogan has got
a long history in the white supremacist movement most of
their material from you know what it's not okay to be in
these countries they're located to be aboriginal because you're
more likely to die younger to be locked up it's not okay to be an
African person because you're more likely to experience racism
it's not okay to be a Muslim because your most subject
please resume your sleep
Ah, you catching on quickly though. It's working out there.
Social Justice Warriors,
work on does some of the laws and maybe do some legislating
dogs
that would be just silly John. Now they've got to argue about
stuff like this.
Well, I get a couple offbeat new writers are throw aways but we
do have a long story. This is important. This is a candidate
pot story. They've got these deals done.
Canada today became the second and largest country to legalize
marijuana or UK Why was the first over 100 Canadian pot
shops
and this is important. So the next time someone says Amsterdam
weeds legal. It's not. It never has been. And I'm glad that
people are not clearing that up. We're
slated to open today. Some open their doors at the stroke of
midnight, as hundreds of customers lined the streets
outside. Canadian officials insisted that legalizing pot
will improve public health and safety
cannot regulate a prohibited substance. So we are lifting the
prohibition. That's what legalization is to enable us to
implement a comprehensive and far more effective system of
strict regulatory control that will bring the regulatory
control in order to every aspect of the production, distribution
and consumption of cannabis.
Canadian government will also pardon people who have been
convicted of possessing up to 30 grams of marijuana.
I think these guys got screwed. You can do Naviance I think you
got screwed on this deal. There's a lot of regulations
that go along with this, including regulations on
production. I don't think that those regulations aren't in
California or they
think they are but more interesting to me is what's
going on in Washington. They're their state legislatures decided
that edible which is the only way to go as far as I'm
concerned. Yes. Are going to be illegal. If you can't smoke it
you can't have it. What? Yes, this is the big deal in
Washington state right now. edibles is going to be banned.
They're going to ban the edibles. Now. This is hopefully
the old ladies up there. It makes no sandals on this.
I have one pot stock that I invested in. And it's an edible.
You're screwed. Short. Now the reason I understand the reason
and I talked this over with Mimi because she's bitching about it,
although she hasn't really used the she uses the creams. She's
she's not in the Rihanna club.
Okay, so she, but she's irked about it because she knows
edibles are the problem is these idiots, especially the
Washington State idiot, which is a common character up there.
Hey, man. Oh man. Yeah, one of these chocolate bars. Oh,
mastering is good hour later, man. Nothing's happening. I'm
gonna have another one. Ah, no hold data bag of these things.
And then apparently the real problem has been these moron
hikers because everybody's a tree hugger. The moron hikers
they go up into the mountains with a bag of animals. And then
they start chewing on him. They eat the whole bag. They're up in
the mountain. They can't get down
there falls off. And they have to be rescued. Yes. By chopper.
Actually, the edibles company I've invested in like a whole
$1,000 I think is they have a technology patented technology
that gets edible that gets this tch from edibles into your
bloodstream within 15 minutes, which is why I liked it because
of this story that it always takes so long for people to get
high and they wind up taking too much.
My experience will go to the dead dad experience but my
spirits are what I tell people. Is that two and a half hours,
right?
Okay, I'm not I'm not a big edibles guy myself. But yeah,
that's the story. This I see. edibles.
I have edibles. No, there's that was oh, that was it. Okay, I'm
sorry. Yeah, it was just a reminder to me. Oh, I gotta go
situation. So I put the reminder on the clip. Well, back to
the regulations. You know, the show this hour is 22 minutes.
It's a spoon. Yeah.
That's been here for years. Yeah.
He really is a shame. It's been off the air. Yeah, I
think so. Let me go look to make sure. But yeah, they took it off
the air during the Harper administration, I believe the
later part of it. And I know it's not on the air. I mean, it
was one of the greatest shows ever they ever produced in
Canada. It's very funny, very in your face comedy. And they just,
it was dissolved.
Hey, can the Naviance candidate even trolls because I have a
clip. And either this is new, or the old or they're from the
future.
Tomorrow we will finally be legally in Canada. Labels made
an election promise to legalize marijuana by July 1 2018. Sure,
it will actually be October 17. But these delays are for a good
reason. Because the government wants to get this right. And I
think they've done it. The rules are clear and simple. To smoke
weed legally in Canada, you just need to be 18 except for in BC
the Maritimes in Ontario, where it's 90 and in Quebec, where
it's 21 C simple. Ontario online stores will require any age
verification, you do have to click a box and go over 90 And
we all know from buying booze and no good will ever lie about
being underage. You can buy pot for private stores, government
stores, private government, online stores and online private
license governments. Feel free to bring your kid into the store
with you. Unless you're in Alberta if you don't want to go
to the store. Most provinces allow you to grow your own
plants as long as your landlord is cool with it. Which they are
not accepting Quebec where it's never permitted. Oh yeah, if
you're in New Brunswick, it has to be locked behind an enclosure
that is at least 1.2 meters high. If you're in the Northwest
Territories, you can smoke on trails, highways, streets, roads
and parks as long as they're not in use but since it's the
Northwest Territories, chances are they're not news so Canada
see online at the pot shop tomorrow unless you're Ontario
we're no stores will be open till April 2019 Great job
Trudeau
I guess it's not all that great yet.
Yeah, they had I'm looking at the wiki page Yeah, I guess it
has been new just been restarted with the name 22 minutes Yes.
Yeah, that's what it takes to joke away from
Yeah. Like the MTV half hour Comedy Hour.
Yeah, it's very similar. Justice. I don't know if this is
good. Well, they still have Kathy Jones is good. That bit
was okay. Because you're really funny people. creature I guess
is Yeah, Chris is the main guy. Okay, so stick around then.
So the list came out of all the possible cities that may get
Amazon's HQ to yeah and Austin up to him and it was an
interesting less than was on the city's list yeah
we're on the list it was interesting because they had you
know price of cost of living and, and cost of a tech worker
so tech worker in Austin makes $94,000 a regular schmuck makes
53 But the cost of living is on par with Los Angeles now
according to this list, which is
frightening Austin. Yes,
yes.
Well, you were talking I was always noticing this when you
were talking about these little artsy fartsy restaurants that
you'd like to go to there and Austin you would tell me I look
at the menus I said Jesus is pretty pricey for a Texas
restaurant very
it's it's incredibly expensive to live here. Now we don't have
state income tax. So we got a little release. Difference.
Yeah, but still, it's it's annoying for sure. Now you can
you can get if you don't go. I don't know why you think that
that's the only I mean I cook I cook at home. We don't go out
when I like it all the hoity toity restaurants of Austin
every day.
Well, artsy fartsy is the word I use guy. But hoity toity is
similar. They just always surprised me how many there
actually are and also there's quite a few and some
good ones. Now Dallas Fort Worth is on the list. And this has
been our picks since the since you blew our cover, since we
were you know, looking to go stealth and make some money by
buying up land. And then I came up, I came up with my vape shop
and dog walking and I got an immediate note from an anonymous
Amazonian in Seattle. Adam, do not start a dog walking service.
I'm an Amazonian in Seattle, which means he works for Amazon
or she. People bring dogs to work. They're the bottom of the
barrel. They use the dogs like a smoke break, if they remember to
walk them. Even if you can get them these are not going to be
good customers because you're going to get requests that will
be like, can you walk my dog in the next five minutes and be
back in 18? Most don't really have time to walk the dogs at
all. And you'll be tied to unpredictable schedules. Unless
you launch an Uber for dog walks. You're
going to return I think it's funny that we had wag is Uber
for dog walker. Yes. Yeah. The well first of all, let's start
with the premise that Adam was going to open a dog walking
facility. Service service is service in the first place. So
let's just stop there. A Bong shop maybe
vape shop not Bong, vape. Okay, punk shape. But I think there is
evidence in this next clip, that Fort Worth could be the place,
we've had a little change up there with Meacham airport.
So the original frame of this building was built in 1968. It
was the new modern facility built at that time to support
the airport as a commercial facility. And fast forward to
2015 When we started the project 50 You know, the building was
nearly you know, 50 years old, the systems were failing, and it
just wasn't representative of the high class nature of Meacham
airport. And with the support of city, the city manager, Mayor
councilmembers and, and really American arrow to partner with
us on this wonderful building. As it came out to around the
just over $20 million. It's such an incredible investment into
the city and into the airport. That'll take us into the future
to last year Meechum hit a hit a record your operations, we had
140,000 takeoffs and landings. So
the point of this story is they built a brand new terminal and
they're open for business and are willing to consider any type
of business with a brand new facility. And they have 52,000
square feet available at the airport alone.
Well, it's not a small airport. That's a big operation and me it
was put together by H Ross Perot as a alternative and for freight
only airport. And I don't know how well he's done with it, but
he kind of turned it over to a investment group that he's still
part of. And he runs his real estate operation which seems to
be buying up a lot of stuff in the area. Something's up.
I'm thinking that Fort Worth is the way to go. He's from the
area. It's the it's perfect for slave wages.
He's from Houston.
Always from Houston. Yeah, I thought it was from Dallas. Oh,
Houston. Well, he's from the area at least from Texas in the
general area. Yeah. Have you seen him in just seeing how I
mean forget the big eye and everything but big eyes
getting worse. His arms are massive. And I must be pumping
iron
is really pumped and I I forgot to mention when we were talking
about dogs a minute ago. How much do you think United States
pet owners will spend on a Animal Halloween costumes this
year
1.5 billion
of which know half a billion it kind of ruins the whole thing
when you come in that Hi, sorry. Oh man. Okay, here we go.
Go back to the American politics a little bit with this with this
clip on. I just want to play this showing to discuss just as
shade. This is the Georgia early voting ominous signs PBS clip
back in this country some voters in Georgia are waiting in line
for nearly three hours to cast their ballots early in that
state's midterm elections, including in the hotly contested
governor's race. Long lines have plagued the polls around the
Atlanta area in Fulton Cobb and Gwinnett County's election
officials had turnout on Monday, the first day of in person early
voting was triple the turnout on the first day of early voting in
the 2014 midterm election.
Okay, what does this mean, the Republicans have decided to get
off their ass and keep Trump, you know, in or keep the house
in the Senate with early voting? Well, I mean, it just, I'm just
talking about the sheer number that tripled the size number,
which seems to me to be like a sign of something is gotta be,
you know, observable. The meanwhile,
here's all I can say you're talking about, will there be a
blue wave? Blue Wave, blue wave? I don't know about polling. We
know the polling is bullcrap. Than is usually intended.
Usually intended. Now. It's bullcrap. I have not forgotten
the 2016 election polling. I mean, it was terrible. 95%
Certain for Hillary to whoops. Look at that. So let's look at
television ratings. I mean, is it are the is the left wing
faction of the United States population? Are they so busy
with knitting pussy hats and protesting that they don't have
time to watch CNN and MSNBC. And the Republican side, the right
wing side of the country is there's just so many of them who
are so damn lazy. They're watching with double the
numbers. I mean, this is the kind of stuff that I look at
this is empirical
to but I have to. And I think about the Murphy Brown show and
all the other Bullock's, you know, they're trying to push on
the public. And I'm always considering the fact that that
traditionally, I think that the Democrats, yeah, in the 50s and
60s, when the Democrats were all in the working class, and they
did sit around and watch a lot of television. Those peoples are
all Republicans now. So the people who watched television, I
think, in general, tend to be, you know, the middle class,
which I think is mostly Republican nowadays. Well, where
does the Democrats are all the bankers and Silicon Valley
billionaires, they don't watch television, right? They just own
it. Yeah, they kept it on
the media. Yes. Right. But so that means that there's, there's
no way I'm just looking at numbers that I that I
understand. And if you got twice as many people watching Fox
News, you know, it's like, okay, it seems like there's a lot of
people who are interested in that message. I mean, I listen
to MSNBC all day, every day. To me, you know, you know this
about me, because it's just, it's the most entertaining thing
I've ever heard in my life.
Well, and I hate the standard, but okay, well,
I so that's how I pick up on things like MBs. You know that
that's where you hear these things. That's where you got you
got to watch it. It's painful, but I do that for the show.
We love you for it.
So I don't I I think I could be wrong. But in my feeling says
that. Yeah, I mean, look at look at the video evidence of Trump
rallies. It's incredible the amount of people he's bringing
in. And I see Beto. And I mean, he's not a not Trump level, of
course, but it's I just don't see the same numbers of people
showing up it just seems like less people.
Well, they attribute that apparently, to the fact that
Trump is a dictator guy. Yes, that's what it is. I forgot. And
did so I'm watching NBC. I'm online. And I'm looking to have
a new segment on the NBC News on the online called think I have
it on here thunk but
another clip will never find again.
And these and this and there's a bunch of editorials that they
play, and they tend to do just about Again, this would get
triggered me earlier on the show when I said, Well, NBC would
have the Alex. I mean, they would give up Alex, Alec Baldwin
to ABC, because they're both on this at the same, you know, they
both want to screw over Trump. And this is the kind of thing
that this is on NBC News. And of course it says, Well, you know,
this is not us. But it's art we're, but we're putting giving
it a huge platform for some woman who happens to be a
professor Ruth Ben Giotto, a professor somewhere of history.
And she just goes, she's a Trump hater. And she goes on off the
deep end, and I'm listening to this going, why is NBC suppose
the objective news organization, you know, trying to do something
like this? Why are they putting it on their website and then and
emphasizing it?
Well, you know, the answer to that you're not really thinking
that with an open ended question. Well, they hate Trump.
They do very terian but profound disrespect for democracy. They
view rule of law and democratic norms as bothersome obstacles to
the consolidation of their own power.
What are democratic norms.
They got a bunch of note guys named norm who are Democrats and
Trump has been following the authoritarian playbook since he
was a presidential candidate. We can debate Trump's mental
fitness, his competency, but he's been very on message and
consistent with some of the main themes that Mark authoritarian
rulers, one of them is glorification of the leader,
Trump started doing his campaigns to forge emotional
ties with his followers based on loyalty to his person rather
than a party or principle.
I said to the leaders of the Republican Party, folks, you got
to get tougher, well, you're not gonna have a lot of victories
and I'll be honest, I'm talking about for them, because I think
I'm gonna win anyway. I really think I can win.
The mantra of authoritarian leaders is see me and I exist,
and Trump has to be always at the center of attention. Then he
started to attack the sectors of society.
So what she's doing here is she's showing empirical evidence
that Trump is a dictator. Yeah, okay,
that deal in evidence and inquiry and investigation, such
as the press, the judiciary research,
fake news, fake news, fake news, fake Fake News, the news is
fake.
These are things that authoritarians past and present
have done from Hitler denunciation of the line press
to air Dhawan and Putin and Turkey and Russia, who jailed
and killed journalists. On January 2016, Trump made a
shocking announcement
they say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that?
Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot
somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters? Ok.
This was a message not so much to the American public, but to
the Republican Party, and how far will you go in supporting me
even when I'm telling you I'm going to be above the law? And
the answer, of course, is that the Republican Party has backed
him no matter what he says or does. This is consistent with
authoritarian regimes. Once the elite sign on publicly and make
their packs of support, they support that ruler until the
bitter end. It's more frightening to think of him as a
madman. Instead, if we think of him as conforming to a set of
political tactics, we see that there's also a method to oppose
him. authoritarians past and present have been resistant and
that is something that is more difficult to do with a madman
Oh man, I like how she wraps it up with we can debate his sanity
but it's hard to do with the madman symbol she's a professor

we'll get that off to you as soon as possible and tweet it
out so we can see it. Really appreciate it. Thank you all
very much for joining us here some scam calls. It's been
crazy. Thanks, Liz. Thanks, Betsy. Thanks, Betsy Warren, for
all that you did on wasn't she's supposed to be responsible for
Yeah, she
made a big stink. And you know, I got a call from Rachel's a
couple of days ago
is horrible. Yeah, it's not good. Oh, I discovered
something. I was I helped Tina and Ronald McDonald House crew,
they go around to the some of the, you know, these McDonald,
McDonald's or Ronald McDonald House really gets no money from
McDonald's. There are you know, I think one penny per Happy
Meal. But the local owner and operators because these are all
owned and operated by local people. They can do whatever
they want in that regard. And so the local McDonald's here in
Austin, the ones that I know who have seven or eight of these
restaurants, really, really nice people. And so they were going
to bring 100 balloons to thank the staff because they had
raised so much money for the wrong mcdonald house. And so one
of the owners is there and I'm talking to her. And she said,
Oh, you want something to drink. So you have coffee, and tea as
these kiosks installed. And as she's placing the order, I say,
getting rid of human resources. Hmm. I figured I'd just slip
that one in. She says actually, it increases the number of
people we have, as a Word says, yeah, it's good. It's so
efficient. Says that end we have less people in the front and
more people in the back. Because we're just doing more sales.
I had not expected that answer.
No, you got to come up. It's then
come up and yeah, what do you mean?
Yeah, you're being snide, you know, talking about oh, not
Well, I drilled a means of production and she told you off
she actually this was an insult. You should have slapped her.
I like her a lot. I would not. Now she knows who I am. She
knows what I do. That's why he's like No, no, this is actually
you have no idea this this creates more jobs like Okay, so
I'm there and I got my Nokia the e 71. out and you know, there's
there's Millennials is around and I get one of those Oh my
god. And I've noticed something consistent when people see this
phone compared to a smartphone. It's an it's, it's very
consistent. Here's what they always say, oh, yeah, I remember
it's nostalgic, immediate nostalgia. I and the the two
things that well, three things that I've heard. One is I love
the t nine input. Because I could go really fast and I could
text blindly. We've actually gone backwards. I think in that
regard. With the smartphones, I could take someone blindly. And
this card is the kind of fun you get to hold behind your back and
test i Yes, they help me help me they're kidnappers.
But number one on the list. Durability, I drove over it with
my car, I dropped it from the balcony. Every everyone notices
these things. And the thing they never talked about, which is
what I remind them of. And I'd like to remind everybody now of
the OTG lifestyle if it requires some some explanation again,
from time to time, I'm at the point now where my phone is I
used to like I'll check something real quick on the
browser was not real quick. That's the whole point is I can
get on the browser and I could check something if I wanted to.
I have one bookmark, which is Twitter, you can see that I'm
not even doing that anymore. I'm completely cured. I'm done. I
don't care. I'm not interested. It's not distracting me. And I
feel and I feel that my life is improved. My head is clear. And
it's I recommend it for everybody and you see now
there's one palm well I don't like what Tom was doing. But one
one manufacturer of the other is coming out with this is your
weekend phone this is your you know your your downtime phone
this is your not always busy phone, we call this people need
this, they need to do this but the best thing to do is just to
just leave it at home, leave it at home or get a burner a candy
bar, so you have some kind of contact. And also this this
tracking is Ah, I'm so happy and I'm really really happy as far
as Google and Amazon and while Facebook I'm not anymore Twitter
they only know that there's this guy in Texas and he never leaves
he's always at this address never goes anywhere it doesn't
associate with anybody or anything we can't tell if he's
walking running sleeping in the car we don't know anything about
him. We don't know what he's reading it's a very Let's kill
him. Time to send the drone out. That guy's not a good player
let's move into some some other tech Well,
you know we're gonna go because you have with this a segue day,
right? Well, I've technology stuff. That's why I was going
no, no, you were taught you just said the word drone.
Oh, okay. You have a drone clip. Now. I'm all in on that.
Let's listen to let's catch up. We don't know anything about any
of this. You're going to hear something you've never heard any
of this. Okay. Somali drone strikes
in Somalia, an airstrike from a US drone unmanned has killed 60
Somalis near a coastal town northeast of Mogadishu, the
deadliest us attack on Somalia in the last year. The Pentagon
says all the dead were al Shabaab fighters, though the
claim could not be independently verified. The US has conducted
at least 27 airstrikes in Somalia so far this year. The
Pentagon has some 500 troops in Somalia
surely, Oh, yes. Of course we don't hear about that stuff.
No, why won't it crop it just gives you these drones that
drone bit drone base that we've talked about this in your tree
or whatever the name of that how you ever pronounced that?
Anyway, there you go.
Also, yet, uh, yesterday, US forces dropped a whole bunch of
bombs on Kurdish forces in Syria. Oh, gee, that didn't make
the news did it? I don't think anyone knows this yet.
And that's supposed to be bombing. Yes, Kurdish.
Okay. I got I know unless we're doing it on behalf at the behest
of Turkey or something. I don't know. Why are we bombing the
Kurds? I thought that they were kind of the Okay guys. Yeah. So
complicated. So complicated. Alright, I need to talk a little
about technology stuff about this diversity. Well, I'm going
to start with this clip and then we can go as far as we want with
other ones. This is this. There's another engineer who has
come out the first one was Google and you know he wrote
this diversity memo when he said hey, we're not doing it right
it's not good for the company and he got kicked out fired and
and he's there
I'm toast yeah him out is reminds me of the Show Me the
Money movie, you know where that guy, which I still think By the
way, as a movie everyone should watch a kitten don't forget to
get the name of Tom Cruise,
it's called Show Me the Money movie.
It's well, it's the Show Me the Money movie. And it's it's a it
was it had the classic example of what you don't do in a
company, which is write a memo telling the bosses how screwed
up
Jerry Maguire with that was,
you go and you're here, look at this, I got their whole way of
doing what make 10 times more money, this is the way to go.
Boom.
You go. Well, this engineer worked at Facebook, his name,
his name is Brian and Mirage a are amateurs. And he left
Facebook after trying to work with management, but he really
opens up the book. Now what we have said consistently on this
show is the biggest mistake Silicon Valley is making at the
moment. from a cultural standpoint, from a resource
standpoint, I think is the main problem, and also from a legal
standpoint is making editorial decisions. And from the
political standpoint, we have an actual Law Section 230 of the
community community Communications Decency Act, that
states that you hire a free Harbor, you're not responsible
for what anyone puts up on your on your service, you can't be
sued for it. But if you're editorializing and your new
service, well, that's a different story. And this is
where they have placed themselves squarely in the
middle of this, although section 230 isn't really mentioned much
for some reason, by editing editorializing, removing shadow,
banning all the stuff that's out there. And what this engineer
will tell you is the debate is ongoing with the actual
rebellion that is going on within I think all of Silicon
Valley, but this is just Facebook alone, it's
actually been pretty dramatic to watch the shift over the years.
And, you know, that's essentially why I'm leaving, you
know, I'm leaving because of this content policy direction,
which, you know, trying to draw lines around what's acceptable,
and what's offensive or too offensive. I think it's
dangerous, and it's impractical. You know, it's, it's impossible
to define what something like hate speech is, and it's even
harder to implement it and enforce it sort of at Facebook
scale. And to your point, like, you know, this is core to what
the mission of the company is, I think it's this huge strategic
misstep for a company whose products primary value is to
promote free expression is trying to draw these lines, and
people come to Facebook for all sorts of reasons. You know,
speaking as an employee on the inside, I've always thought
about it as a tool for free expression. And I write I
supported the mission as a tool for free expression. So, you
know, from that point of view, as trying to draw those, you
know, impossible to draw lines around what's what's acceptable,
is a losing strategy. You know, executives at the company do
actually take the sort of assertions and claims that I've
made very seriously. And, you know, they didn't fire me, they
engaged me and I actually spent like the better part of the last
month working with them, to figure out how to improve this
stuff. Now, there's a really big distinction, though, between how
those executives are handling this, and what a vocal minority
inside the company is doing. And there is a vocal minority inside
Facebook that is belligerent beyond belief. In a quest, I
think, to implement social justice policies, you know,
across our mission, basically, you can't even have
conversations about that policy inside the company without
having your character attacked. And I've experienced this
personally, without being called a sexist or racist or
transphobic or an Islamophobic. You can't have conversations
about those kinds of anything that's a tenant of the social
justice ideology effectively without having that being
attacked personally. And you know, the real concerning thing
that's happening here is that you know, even though this is a
minority of employees in the company, unfortunately, I'm not
sure that Facebook leadership knows how to push back against
it like like I said, they're unbelievably belligerent,
demanding and hostile not just toward other employees but
toward the Facebook leadership directly. And my real concern is
whether they can push back
I believe it
I so believe this oh, there's no doubt about it. There's nothing
to believe they're
frozen over there. They don't know what to do with their own
employees.
Yes, because these people have learned from the playbook. A how
to be this way and they're in there making trouble. This is
what happened at Evergreen. The call the cost is really the
enrollments down the Evergreen had some of these larger
institutions where you're going there you're not working for
them but you're gonna you're giving them money to teach you.
This is where the schools are blowing it because you what you
do is you fire it you not fire but you you you expelled
students that are causing trouble at the college, right
and then you have them explain to their parents why they still
have your money and the kid is now living at home. Without
getting an education, they can deal with that. That's the way
to do it. You send all these kids back home, expelled from of
all schools evergreen, which is a root kind of a school that
doesn't even have grades usually. You could use it stops,
it'll stop it. But in the end, I think in a company, you can do
the same thing. If you took a firm hand, this kind of thing
where you call somebody a racist, if you called somebody a
racist is grounds for firing. It's just that simple.
But not just that. They're they are in control of the
algorithms. They're in control of the trending policies, the
blocking policies, and there's
you know, it's like a bunch. It's like, it's Versiv they've
got to get these people out of out of these companies. And
they're all
even if they having the people in there or not, you just cannot
define hate speech. These definitions are ways you
only reason the hate speech thing even came up in the first
place is because of these SJ W's in the company.
Everything is sexist, everything is racist, everything is
homophobic and you have to point it all out.
Just a little drop. I found you know, hate speech is illegal,
though. You know
that right? Well, I know it's illegal in England is illegal in
New York. How do you do that?
Well, you know, we have say, I hate you. Well, we had a tussle
in in Manhattan, the proud boys against Antifa. Did you see any
of this? This sort? Of course. This fighting? Yeah, we it was
pretty big news in New York. And I think I think just what I saw
it look like you don't want to mess with some of these guys who
are wearing Magga hats, man. People getting getting pummeled.
And you know, you come up as a Auntie fall LARPer. And it
doesn't it never ends. Well, I never seen ending Well, for the
people with the face masks. So anyway, it worked. Well,
it ended well in Berkeley. Yeah, with fire.
Well, Cuomo did a conference call with a guest the local the
local party in New York and discussed a little bit of this
and I clipped some for you.
In New York, we see the number of anti semitic attacks
increase. Why? Because he has increased and deamination
demonizing differences. deimination baby has increased.
And that's what this is. The desperate. They're coming into
the midterms. They're afraid they're going to lose. So
they're going to the playbook.
Interesting how we were just talking about the playbook yet.
Yeah. Here's Cuomo blaming people for the playbook.
create chaos. Haha, spread fear, spread hate.
Isn't that exactly what CNN does?
That's what they did. It was not a coincidence to bring the proud
boys into Manhattan at this point, when the President was on
the campaign stump preaching the same gospel.
So what's he talking about?
Here comes pay off coming politics aside. I'm Governor of
the state of New York.
That's a great statement, isn't it? politics aside? I'm the
political leader. That's pretty much what he said. Right? That
that was good. Yeah.
So politics aside, I'm Governor of the state of New York. We
will not tolerate hate speech. It is not protected. It is
illegal. We will investigate it to the fullest. You go
in hate speech is illegal. He was news to me and he said it
right after he says I'm the governor of New York and hate
speech is illegal. I think it makes it illegal.
I think it sounds more like a dictator to me than Trump does.
Thank you. So these social justice warriors they get
themselves into all kinds of binds and once in a while
there's this this is a funny story. It's very short clip.
This is the Oh Casa in Israel valid visa, because they throw
in this valid V they this is a woman who just a few months back
was an anti Israeli protester. She decides she wants to go to
school in Israel and they say no, out you can't come in. Okay.
This is kind of the way the story and Susan is a very
propagandistic Lee presented story
in Israel, a detained American graduate student has asked the
Israeli Supreme Court to reverse an expulsion order and let her
stay in the country. Prosecutors argue that Lera Qassam supported
a boycott against Israel and is still a threat. The Florida
native appeared in a Jerusalem court today or will Are you said
the 22 year old activist days are behind her?
If she was an activist in the past, that past was 18 months
ago. Everything in the record indicates that she's not that
same person that she's come to Israel, in violation actually of
the academic boycott and of the economic boycott because she's
going to be living and breathing and living her day to day life
in Israel.
Kasim has been detained in Israel for two weeks after
arriving on a valid student visa.
Took the valid student visa things make it may sound
sketchy. Why is your work with there's a maze of valid student
visa. She's there. The thing that got me about this report is
that 18 months ago, this woman says she was a different person
when we just got off a Brett Kavanaugh trial where they're
talking about 30 years ago. person's got to be the same from
30 years ago but this woman has changed. She's obviously a
troublemaker who needs to go to She's a graduate as soon as she
needed to get some credits and turns out that Israel is where
she has to go and and I still think she I think they're they
should just throw her out. Because you got to do you can't
do Nicola No Get out. You're already you got to 18 months ago
is not long enough. Five years ago, maybe
you gotta throw the troublemakers out. You got to
do.
So who goes first here? Yes,
who do we kick out of America. We got to throw kick some
troublemakers out.
You can't really do that. And kick him out at your company and
kick him out of the schools. You can kick him out of this in that
but you can't make you can't keep them out of the country.
Unless they're not they shouldn't be here. Right. So
what do you think about this Mayflower sours? You know this
this leaker that got busted?
Oh, the one who was in the special Crimes Division have
played the clip and we will talk about it.
As senior official at the US Treasury Department has been
charged with leaking confidential documents about
suspects charged in Special Counsel Robert Muller's
investigation, Natalie Mayflower sours, Edwards worked in the
department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. She
allegedly leaked banking information about Paul Manafort,
Rick Gates and others, to an unnamed reporter for the online
news site. Buzzfeed.
Okay, couple things. First of all
BuzzFeed, why a Buzzfeed has gotten some unbelievable scoops
in in the past two years. They were the first ones that had the
the PP PP tape report.
You know, right, the dust.
I mean, if you're working at the Southern District of New York in
the Financial Crimes Unit, and you're going to leak something
is BuzzFeed the first thing that comes to mind or if there's
something going on with BuzzFeed that we're not realizing a
couple of possibilities. One BuzzFeed is a is a front for
intelligence. Yes. spook outfit. That's when I'm thinking yeah,
I'm gonna spook outfit and they will take anything over. They
are they're part of the whole scheme. This thing is a spook
operation. I mean, which is a possibility because this woman
and her four names, I don't know, has anyone ever seen a
picture of her? I mean, I did some deep searches as she got a
Facebook account. I don't know, maybe I haven't found it. She's
not on LinkedIn that I can tell. But the trouble is, she's got
Natalie Edwards is really her name, which is like there's a
million of those. Right? So the whole thing that's sketchy, and
I read The complaint is kind of interesting. Yeah, I
read the complaint, too. I was actually wasn't there someone
else? Who also there was a story a while back, it was someone
else who was involved with the Southern District of New York.
It was a wife of someone is coming back to me. I'm looking
at being at.io. Let me see if it's in our show notes search
anywhere. Don't you remember that there was something vaguely
maybe I don't know if Hey, didn't do it to the Mueller
investigation. But this is like, the whole thing is that this is
just kind of played as a one shot now. It's been kind of
suppressed as a story. Yeah, very, very suspicious about this
particular story.
Well, I'm more suspicious of BuzzFeed that's that's what I'm
looking at. Now. They're getting way too many scoops and why why
are people going to them? Now?
i Yeah, and you're right, if I had some, and that, you know,
then they had this kind of dubious encryption. They were
going back and forth the report or whoever it is, and this woman
and but then they caught her anyway, which I don't think is
that difficult to do with some of these people? They're not
professional moles. I don't know. I just find the whole
thing to be fishy.
Yeah. I was hoping the troll room know who that was?
All right, well, we can go on to the next item.
Yes. What do you have? Oh, I know what I had. Oh, I had a
great piece. Let me see where it is.
We get to that. Let me run this one, which is you brought it up
earlier and I want to get out of the way you said, Well, what's
the deal to get the clearances ended and what can trump do that
why can't he get the redacted memo, FISA memo released and all
the rest? This may be some, a little a little insight into
that this is the Hillary gives up her security clearance clip.
Also breaking tonight word from the department that Hillary
Clinton is surrendering her top secret security clearance. It
comes in the wake of her handling or mishandling of
classified information. In the now infamous email server
scandal trace Gallagher is falling this breaking story just
heard about from the State Department the last couple of
hours. He's live in our West Coast newsroom. Good evening,
Chase.
Good evening. This all goes back, of course to the State
Department's ongoing review of the mishandling of classified
information related to Hillary Clinton's use of a private email
server. And it also kind of gives you an idea of how slow
some things move in government because almost a year and a half
ago, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican
Chuck Grassley sent the letter to the State Department asking
about the status of Hillary Clinton's security clearance. In
that letter, Grassley stated that any government workers who
possibly engaged in such serious offenses would at the very
minimum have their security clearances suspended pending an
investigation. Well, three weeks ago, the State Department
finally responded to Senator Grassley his 2017 letter saying
quoting here at her request, former Secretary Clinton's
security clearance was administratively withdrawn on
August 30 2018. The letter went on to say that on September 28,
the security clearances of five other Clinton researchers had
also been revoked. Only Clinton aide Cheryl Mills was listed.
The other four names were redacted, of course, at the time
of the probe, Hillary Clinton was running for president and no
charges were filed. This summer, President Trump revoked the
security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan. And at
the time, the White House said it was reviewing the clearances
of several other people. So about 17 months after Grassley
sent the letter, he finally got a response from the State
Department. Okay.
So this makes me assume that Brennan still has a security
clearance.
Or you think that it makes it it's just imaginary isn't an
imaginary thing. People talk, I have a new list for us. I
haven't actually started a dot htm page, but this is a good
list. This is journalists and people in the news business who
are board members so board of directors for Soros funded
outfits. Whoa, yeah, I thought you'd like
this. I want this I want a web page up okay. You're gonna
have to do the dot htm but would you like to go through a few
just so we have totally okay Center for Public Integrity.
This is there's not like a conspiracy theory that George
Soros and his OSI are big funders of this. So this is not
This is pure, you know, this is fact in fact, fact fact fact
this pure effect. Okay, on the board of directors for senator
for Public Integrity. Christiana Amanpour. from CNN. I actually
like her he was also on the council for foreign relations.
Oh, yes. Ariana Huffington. Jennifer Lee, New York Times
reporter. We have
see Matt
Thompson, editorial Product Manager at NPR and the Poynter
Institute. Then we have the Advisory Council, Michele
Norris, host of NPR. All things considered. Charles piller
senior investigative reporter for the Sacramento Bee Ben
Sherwood, ABC News President former Good Morning America
executive producer at the Center for Investigative Reporting
also, at least partially funded by George Soros, more directors
Phil Bronstein. And, of course Hearst Newspapers. David
Boardman, Executive Editor, Senior Vice President of the
Seattle Times George Foster calm producer for CBS News board of
advisors we have Lawal, Bergman, producer, correspondent for PBS
series frontline. Sara Kohn night professor of practice of
journalism public policy Duke University. Len dally vice
president former executive editor for Washington Post
Elizabeth Farnsworth special correspondent for PBS news hour.
Now Seymour Hersh is listed on here as a staff writer for the
New York which he is no longer we have robbed me
as a bit of staff writer for The New Yorker for years.
Role Ramirez Executive Director To KQED news and public affairs
director Susan Samberg, special correspondent, NPR, Judy
Woodruff, co anchor of PBS News Hour at ProPublica. Another and
heavily funded Soros outfit and board of directors. Now
journalism advisory board Jill Abramson, executive director,
editor of the New York Times, David Boardman, executive editor
at the Seattle Times John S. Carroll, former editor of the
Los Angeles Times Baltimore Sun. David Gergen, senior political
analyst, CNN, I can go on and on and on this list is so
extensive, that they're all on boards. Yeah. That shouldn't
even I mean, how can you be an impartial journalist if you're
even in a club at any club? Certainly Council on Foreign
Relations, but any of these clubs just doesn't seem like
something you should be doing? Is there. Are there any? Is
there any guidelines that you come from this world or the
journos,
but there's only guidelines within specific publications.
The New York Times, for example, have a guideline for its
reporters that you can't take a free T shirt as a gratuity just
as a hey, to have a T shirt right now. Right? That they have
guidelines, and they have a book of them. And I think Wall Street
Journal has a kind of a book of guidelines, which I actually
have a copy of somewhere. Okay. And, but generally, but in terms
of, no, there is no legal or ethical. There's not like most
of the journal, if there's a journalistic organization that
tends to just follow whatever the New York Times
says, if there are organizations that are actively promoting
demonstrations and other types of action, and you're on the
board or an advisory board, that seems like that's a conflict.
It is a conflict. Okay. Well, it seems like you should probably
say it in your report. You know, the way the news organizations,
by the way, I'm a member of Schuster is a division of our
CBS operation, they will the
BBC, they don't need George Soros to be going full new or
New World Order. The struggle
for Europe's identity is underway. Europe now has to wake
up. The rise of populism and nationalism, partly in response
to migration threatens the existing European order. From
the streets to the corridors of power, rather than policy is the
undisputed vote. A season of in depth coverage on Europe's
identity crisis on BBC World News. Those guys are the
best. They are the best. I agree.
They do a very good job. I love watching BBC America to all
those little things slip in
a bunch of globalists, every one of them.
We are not. No, we are not globalists. No, we're locusts.

turns out that she's even less Indian than the average white

color is white.
I'm gonna take a DNA test so she's less than 1/10 of 1% I
think I can beat her at various times
