You've exceeded your bandwidth. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
Thursday, October 25 2018. This is your award winning get my
nation media assassination episode 1080. This
is no agenda,
celebrating 11 years together and we never had a fight and
broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star stayed
here in downtown Austin teahouse in the studio in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from New Orleans Silicon Valley, where there's one thing
I won't be doing for Halloween, and that's wearing black face.
I'm John C. Dvorak,
Raglan Buzzkill.
disappoint disappointing your annual moment to shine was a
normally do what you normally put on blackface for Halloween.
So I can't believe you're not going to do that this year.
There goes Zephyr right on
here we are everybody. 11 years of the best podcast in the
universe.
Congratulations. Congratulations, John. Yes.
Fantastic. Congratulations to everybody. Everybody who has
worked on this show. And that's pretty much everybody.
We still have a lot a number of people who started listening the
show from the beginning. Oh, quite a few. Yeah, more than
there should be
then they're still alive, which is the cool thing. Yeah, yeah.
But we know the producers of the show. We don't have listeners,
we have producers. This is your celebration. You have done this.
You have taken us from a 20 minute show with no jingles. No
nonsense, no commercials, no agenda to three hours, twice a
week on Thursday. Filled with media deconstruction. That's
quite a path we've
taken. Yes, we didn't start off that
way. That's for sure. No, and I have
to say, John,
this was discussed. I should mention on the gray Merica show.
I
haven't heard it yet. I haven't heard it yet. You discussed what
they are the evolution of the the no agenda show. Yeah. And
what was the conclusion
that we started with number one and we're attending at
and I today, I'm so happy John more now than ever in our 11
year history. That you're the one that opens up all the mail.
I'm just want to say and I continue to be appreciative of
you doing that.
So you have some story to tell your mails not coming through.
Oh, no, no, no, no, we have been since Monday. The entire city of
Austin and Austin proper with many of the outlying areas have
been under a mandatory water boil. No Yeah, your WaterFurnace
Yeah, but that's not that's a little more impactful than you'd
first think.
But yeah, but the likes of you you just drink Perrier Grey
Poupon
Yeah, it's it's not so much about me. It's about what the
economic impact of the city is quite severe mundane night so it
happened Monday the afternoon they put the the which means you
cannot drink the water you cannot use it for cooking you
can't use it for washing produce now there's also a ban on you
know just also water conservation regulations in
place and we went out to dinner with the with Alan and Jesse
this Tina's daughter who lives in Austin her boyfriend and
already Monday night at it was just a small restaurant the east
side there was stuff that you could not get to you know we can
we can't do any anything with vegetables so here's what we
have on the menu. There are many restaurants close now just
closed
washed your vegetables you can't cook
you can you can take the risk because this is a contamination
risk that someone gets sick in your restaurant or would just
get sick in your restaurant whether it was your fault or
not. No one can take that risk of the just shutting it down.
People have no paychecks. There's no Starbucks
beer like beer look at it as a as a benefit.
But here's the problem. Our mayor Mayor Adler is a douchebag
you know, and I know he was already on my crap list for his
you know, just letting scooters drive on the sidewalk people
homeless people sleeping everywhere. But something went
wrong and they're not telling us the whole story because no point
is anyone said your water is unsafe. No. Because they opened
up the dams because of the water has been raining here for the
past two weeks. This is not the first time that they've opened
up the dams and yes, this is a lower Colorado Sara lot. Yes,
it's not the first time this has happened. So something went
wrong. And apparently all this silt clogged up the works. And
from what I understand now, although no one has admitted
that you press conferences and I've been really trying. We have
no press in Austin I guess the Austin statesman was bought by
some whatever outfit doesn't there's no there's no one
reporting on anything there's just people rewriting press
releases there's no reporting in Austin there was a pressure
issue that's the only thing they said and that's why we have a
mandatory water boil what I understand now from not from
Austin officials or any reporting here is perhaps we had
an influx of silt which clogged up the works they lost pressure
if the pipes go below I think it's 20 pounds per square inches
and backs up, then well, the worse then the even little crack
somewhere in the along the line contamination could come in, I
guess it's called a Form. And that will act as bad acts. Do
you know about this stuff? Right. You've you've worked in
areas about this, haven't you? Yes. Okay.
But coliform is not really the problem California coliform is
is the is the aspect of the test mechanism. In other words, if
you have coliform that means you got problems. Right, but it's
not like you're gonna die from coliform poisoning. Okay. But if
you have coliform that means there's sewage in the in the
line, no poop? Yes, well, it's an element of sewage. Pretty
much.
Let's see, they're not telling us what happened. And last year
2017, the citizens of Austin elected for a $311 million bond
to create this fourth water plant, which is really only our
second because they close to it's supposed to do 100 million
gallons a day by itself. And everything's failing. We're all
we're using more water than we're producing the silt has
clogged everything up. What is silt? Exactly? And how does it
since when does it clog up stuff?
Well, you know, as silt is not real
is it just like deposits like Sandy, salty deposits on the
body,
it's, it's the little, it's the fine particles of dirt. Right?
And that can have different arms, like a, you know, makes a
very nice mud. So when it accumulates, it becomes a muddy
like substance. So it is because that's silt.
And that can that could then clog up the water purification?
Yes,
it can and must be they have these people wouldn't be buffalo
in you. They keep talking about silt, their their their public
servants? Probably I would guess, I don't know, they
probably Democrats, which means that they're probably extremely
honest people. Yeah,
they're very honest. And they have an election to run thing.
Yeah. And they have an election coming up in in 12 days. But
here's, here's one theory that I'll just throw out there
because I thought it was kind of interesting, because in the in
the past, what couple of months when I've been awake, learning
how to wake surf for the former New York banker in Lake Austin.
I noticed we used to have all kinds of green stuff in the
water and you know, you'd be in the water and like, what's that
against my leg? I'm not I don't like that in general to and it
was it was a lot it was a lot I remember two or three years ago,
it's just tons of this stuff everywhere. And it was clogging
up engines and all kinds of stuff happening because it and
it's just not a nice thing. And people swim and waterski there,
etc. So the geniuses came up with the idea of stocking Lake
Austin with grass carp. And, and the last time I went
wakesurfing, I remember saying, wow, there's none of this stuff
in the water anymore. And we were a bit by a fish. You know,
we were we were at the pier having a beer. And some kids
were throwing like french fries in the water. And these enormous
carp which turns out of the researching it about 4050
pounds, these things weigh. They've eaten everything.
They've eaten all the green, they've eaten all the other
fish. That's all that's left. And I think maybe when they
opened the flood the dam, this water just rushed through Lake
Austin. There's nothing left to stop the silt or whatever they
expected and it just no expand just blew everything downstream.
Maybe that's what happened. But at any rate, we're going to be
under this boil watch until the weekend may be longer. It could
be a full week.
It could be a month.
Yeah, this is Austin. Man. This is not some shithole country.
Yeah, you're not in Senegal,
but we're getting to know but now that you mentioned that
could be poop in the water. It's we're getting closer to San
Francisco. We got everything we got the homeless we got this
electric scooter soup in your water hoop and the water
testing. That's exactly what coliform testing would indicate.
Yeah. And no one's questioning anything. All you hear is jokes.
We were doing them here
like what like you just said Haha, you just drink Perrier all
day. You'd be amazed how often you interact with water on a
daily basis. And what the odd the automatic movements you have
of oh, just splashing water in your drink a little from my hand
after brushing my teeth. Oops. This A lot of different and how
to do that anyway. Well, I'm just saying there's a lot of
different ways you interact with water and it's like damn, I
appreciate a little bit more though
Well, this is sounds like a disaster.
It's an economic disaster for sure. They said, um, yesterday
if it doesn't rain, we may be able to lift the ban the
beginning of the weekend it rained all day yesterday so it's
gonna go through the weekend it's gonna go into next week I
don't know.
I think like to know what what does like a valve is stuck stuck
open or some
something went wrong and they're not admitting it. That's the
mean this has happened.
No media there anymore. So what are you gonna do you never find
out that probably the news. Guys on television don't have enough
oomph to be able to find out what's going on and nobody's got
any technical expertise to know all they have to do is find some
sewage treatment guy who's an engineer and who knows because
they gossip amongst themselves like every industry does and
tell you what's happening but they can't even find one of
those guys I guess. I think no, he must have one in the
audience.
Oh, we have several who had been I was tweeting with and that's
how I understood the pressure issue because that was one line
and in some interview somewhere the guys who have we got a
pressure issue and then I understood Okay, so there's real
contamination danger if you have a pressure issue, and at the
same time, it's also just conserve water because something
is broken somewhere along the line. Something went wrong. It's
just not anyway. So yes, we drink Perrier and champagne all
day. We don't care about the water crisis. But there's
there's no restaurants or closing. Restaurants, bars. How
about we have craft breweries forget about it. They can brew
their beer.
All that stuff is closed. They still have beer in the tank.
Yeah, but that'll be gone. Yes, it will. Ship in your water.
Yeah. From France. Anyway.
So it's interesting living under this disaster. Finally,
something bad happened really bad.
Yeah, I've heard I was reading about I was hoping you had some
information. You got nothing.
Well, I got you what I think is going on, which is more than
what they're reporting here. And no one's interested. There's
just no one's interested, John. They don't care. I got my
bottled water.
Not Trump's fault.
Not yet. Not yet. I am working on it. I wouldn't put it past
Mayor Adler to come up with something like that. All right,
that I was, again, you're still tweeting a lot more than you
used to, which is pretty entertaining. Because you show
up in my feed a lot.
Yeah, and I need more followers.
You got plenty of followers? Really get none. Are you okay?
Man? I mean, it's hard when you lose a gig. Sometimes you kind
of fall into a black hole.
Of Yeah, I'm fine. Okay. And it's fine, man. Fine,
man. I'm
okay. Just the middle a little.
You let's talk about it. Yeah, you tweeted you thought that the
caravan was the biggest story of the moment?
Yeah. And it all been all a bunch of weirdos. Just a lot of
weirdos on Twitter, I'm probably gonna have to quit it
eventually. Because it's the number of guys it's like, yeah,
I felt like crap. And he did. And you look this guy with one
follower. And he obviously just joined last week and maybe he's
got 50 accounts and the one followers this year they follow
each other. And it's like they're just in there to make
commentary that is useless and it doesn't help and also if you
want more followers, by the way being on Twitter a lot you're
right I probably tweet a third more than I used to and I'm
blocking x and x more than
I was just gonna say if you want followers quick blocking people
I'm plugging like a madman
okay, it's not healthy. You know, this right is you know,
the Twitter can become a little unhealthy activity.
I don't know that. Okay. When you should look at this. Oh, by
the way, I look at DD here's, here's the dilemma. So you got
some jerk off? He says some stupid. And you go you look at
I'm not gonna respond. The guy's got two followers. And he just
joined last week. He's got a picture of, you know, Farrah
Fawcett as as an avatar as Yeah, so I'm looking I'm and then I
think follows you. I'm thinking she's if I blocked this guy lose
another follower. So I mute him. Oh,
mute. Yes, that's the way to go you because the follower number
is very important to you. Does that keep your checkmark status?
Does Jackson do an email from time to time and say, Hey, keep
your word keep your numbers. Otherwise, we'll take away your
check mark.
The Yeah, the other thing is I didn't notice this because I'd
been muting. You can mute entire conversation says mute
conversation. You get these arguments going bad and yeah,
and the worst part is you're in an argument where you're not
even in the argument you're just see see that you're the one of
the guys at the end. That's so yeah, I don't want to be
listening to these two guys going at each other. You can hit
mute conversation takes the whole thing off your stream. Oh,
fantastic.
What a discovery.
Yeah. I'm learning a lot. Yes, I can tell. I can tell. So I think
the big news actually is not the caravan that I take as the
speed.
I'm very confused by this because they seem to sometimes
move 500 miles a day, according to news reports, and the same
recycled drone footage of the of the bridge. And all these tight
shots, tight shots of people sitting down. And that's when
they're interviewed because apparently then they're not
moving. They're just hanging out. And it's this is This reeks
of Wag the Dog type television production with some
professional elements. But otherwise, who the hell knows
what I'm looking at? It doesn't look like a caravan. I don't
know. It could be stock footage from Europe. For all I know. I
really don't know what this is. The only person I've seen on
site in the tightest shot ever was Jorge Ramos for Nunavut from
Univision. He was he did CNN and he did think he did, frat boy
Tucker, we need a nickname for him. So one way I could come up
with frat boy Chuck, frat boy, Tucker.
I liked that nickname. Yeah, frat boy, Tucker. He looks
totally like a frat boy.
By the way. I saw an interview. He didn't need to because he's
promoting his book he would did an interview with Adam Carolla.
And if you can find this as the it's pretty easy YouTube, I have
to say first of all, I I've never been a fan of Adam
Carolla. I liked him very much. I thought he's very funny and
very astute, very intelligent this interview. Tucker on the
other hand, frat boy, Tucker. He reminds me of Christopher
Buckley. Christopher Buckley was married to my cousin Lucy.
That's William F. Buckley's Jr, son. Yeah. And this was the guy
who famously said, Oh, have you with your internet? No one's
going to want to read the news on their computer.
Yeah, another insightful observation from the Buckley
family and
he later Later he 20 years later said Well, you were right about
that. But that's exactly it. Fretboard Tucker has this is
it's a middle yo thing from Washington and he's very
likable, but it's this millio thing where within three
sentences always like it that's the meaning of life commodities
you don't you understand one sees us it always ends that way.
And like he has figured it all out and just the other people
don't know what it is yet. And you end up really as a parent in
this interview. So that's worth watching. Anyway, what was I
talking about? Oh, yes. Jorge Ramos. Jorge Ramos shot
the shot yeah Ramos would be because they everybody in Latin
America recognizes him and so they will get behind him and
jump up and down and put you know, ears on his head and all
that sort of thing so they have to keep it tight.
Yeah, but that's my guess that's not showing you a caravan that's
just showing him amidst a few would look like professional
refugee tents with a couple people walking by I'm I just
don't know what to believe is gone from two and a half to
seven to three to 14,000 now Come on show me this for real
I'm just not seeing it I'm not I'm not so sure and I if it's
not the whole thing has to be a Republican. GOP some some
strategists Banyon Roger Stone, I don't know. Someone came up
with that. And it was perfect. It's perfect. The timing is
perfect. They got people being shuttled around on flatbeds it
makes nothing but sense and in the cynical world that I live in
the minute these phony baloney clock boy type dildo bomb show
up like oh, okay, that's your that's your answer. Okay,
Democrats very funny. That's that is the way I see it today.
Yeah, well I'm not gonna argue on any of these points. It could
be the deal those were sent around by the Democrats and the
caravan it could be by the Republicans you don't know
let me let me tell you what I do know it was very unusual and all
in 11 years very unusual. You get immediate pictures of the
package and the bomb and close ups with the clock still
operational in the wires attached. This is very unusual.
Does if you cut early pictures you do have Debbie Wasserman
Schultz addresses Yes.
spelled incorrectly
flora that whole thing is just too well done. Let's let's go
into this let's talk about the bonds with us starting
with one sec. If let's just say this is some left wing Democrat
you know whatever of Soros I don't care who came up with the
idea. Don't you think that if you and I were strategizing
Alright, here's we're gonna do we're gonna send these bombs
gonna make them look this way. And when here's what we're
actually good To put stamps on and we won't actually mail them.
We'll mail a couple because we want those to get stopped by the
Secret Service. But we really got to make sure it looks like
it's coming from some Republican nut job. I know. We'll misspell
the Ju SS name because that's how they think. And we'll we'll
do a typo on Florida, then it's totally looks like it's coming
from some redneck crazy guy Republican. Reasonable.
Reasonable eschewed bombs PBS rundown. Okay, yeah.
Federal agents are working tonight to get to the bottom of
a rash of bumps up and down the East Coast. The targets are
mainly prominent Democrats as well as CNN, and locations range
from New York, right.
This is the part of the story that kind of, which is a lie.
And everybody said it. There was never a bomb sent to CNN, they
sent one to Brennan at CNN. And so where he works, he works at
MSNBC. So they were I mean, if you want to count that, but they
make it sound as though CNN was some sort of a target. Oh, and
all the stories say this. Oh, did
you see the Cuomo kid and Don Lemon outside and they're doing
back and forth hugging each other stay safe. Brothers good.
It's tough being a journalist. Yeah, they totally took put that
shoe on like it was made for them. No, it was for Brennan.
Anyway, so let's finish that. But they actually have that part
of that. Oh, CNN vacating the place. Nobody else did that by
the way. But CNN did. They vacated the premises and now
John,
you and I were Zucker. We will do the same thing. Play this up.
This is fantastic. This is ratings
targets are mainly prominent Democrats as well as CNN and
locations range from New York to Florida. Nevada's begins our
coverage.
After a string of explosive devices were sent to two former
Democratic presidents, senior officials and a high profile
party donor President Trump today pledged action was
promised the full resources of the government to bring to
justice those responsible for what he called despicable
acts in these times. We have to unify we have to come together
and send one very clear, strong unmistakable message that acts
or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the
United States of
this read is so flat. I'm so disappointed in this. I mean,
this sounds so insincere. Is it no one telling him to play this?
I have the long version of this, which is a way which is he had I
think he had to do it this way to kind of twist the story to
kind of blame the Democrats. It's lame. If you try this, you
have just skipped to this. This is the Trump plea. This is Buck
50 cent but our one minute 37 seconds. Trump plea regarding
bombs. This is the whole this whole spiel is done in that
same.
Alright, let's let's analyze it. Let's analyze,
the federal government is conducting an aggressive
investigation. And we will find those responsible and we will
bring them to justice, hopefully very quickly. Any acts or
threats of political violence or an attack on our democracy
itself. No nation can succeed, that tolerates violence or the
threat of violence as a method of political intimidation,
coercion or control. We all know that such conduct must be
fiercely opposed and firmly prosecuted.
Let's know what he tends to he'll say something and then it
this is one of his persuasion things. He says something and
then he backs himself up with being the chorus of like a Greek
chorus saying we all know that I think that doughnuts are good.
We all know that we all like donuts right? What is donuts or
coffee is even better. We're all love coffee
or one of these. What is also true is donuts are fantastic.
Another way of doing it,
and as they were also before I've read this as he's giving a
speech in front, this is one of his rallies so it's it's
which is where it Yeah, which is where I would have expected him
do a little better than this.
coercion or control. We all know that. Such conduct must be
fiercely opposed and firmly prosecuted. We want all sides to
come together in peace and harmony. We can do it. We can do
it. If we can do it, it'll happen. More broadly, there's
much we can do to bring our nation together. For example,
those engaged in the political arena, must stop treating
political opponents as being morally defective. Have to do
they
have to do they have to say that that's what they're doing, they
may have to do it.
The language of moral condemnation and destructive
routine. These are arguments and disagreements that have to stop.
No one should carelessly compare political opponents to
historical villains
with stop calling me a Nazi,
she's done off in the sun all the time. Got to stop. We should
not mob people in public spaces or destroy public property.
You're right. You're so right. I think he got that figured out
one way to settle our disagreements, it's called
peacefully at the ballot box. That's what we want. Yeah.
So he basically what his way of calming everybody down was
saying, hey, Democrats stop calling us names. Yeah, that is
very, that's, that is a persuasive technique for sure.
Doing it with all his little tricks on them in the comments.
There's a little mumbling under the breath, which is actually a
sales pitch. But he does,
he doesn't seem freaked out about it. So I guess he knows
it's Bogota as well. You know, he's
not freaked out at all that he got when he was watching his
body language recently. And I'm trying finally, I noticed
something interesting. When he has, like, worked or something
or really bothered by something, he crosses his arms. And if you
if you look at any of his commentary about Saudi Arabia,
he's sitting in So normally, you know, he's like, in his chair,
leaning forward, he's got, he's not behind the desk. He's in the
chair leaning forward, so it doesn't look like he's fat. But
in this case, with all the Saudi Arabia, chit chat, his arms are
crossed and tight. And he's giving his opinions about the
Saudi Arabia situation. And he's, he's very annoyed. I don't
think he's annoyed unless he has his arms crossed. Now keep an
eye out for that.
Ted Kaczynski, of course is, is rolling around in his cell.
They're going like what an idiot. Nothing exploded. This
makes no sense. I'm referring to the Unabomber. And I looked at I
looked at the there's a presumption here that I just
like to question for a moment. I look at the list of people. We
have Democrats and one intelligence person, that being
Brennan. So it this this is clearly the demi bomber, I think
that would be the appropriate name since we're never going to
find out who did this. It could it be that this is not related
to the elections? Could it be that this is related to Saudi
Arabia, being very pissed off about all of mainly Democrats
and John Brennan all calling for suspension or severing of ties
between the US and Saudi Arabia?
I don't know that Brennan did that. No, he we played pieces
the long interview. Well, he's like, No, maybe I don't remember
him specifically saying that. Let's play the rest of this. And
I have a couple of follow up clips that you can you can drop
out of the PBS Okay,
so what are we playing with the rest of the rest of the Trump
thing? Is there any more No, that was it that was done that
was though again,
then we have I had to get this this was the bomber. I got both
a friend Townson. We know her. Yes. The spook but but we have i
because we've been I've been missing him for I don't know we
haven't heard a clip from Jeff PJs
ha the postman for quite some
time.
But yet here he is.
Alright everybody, let's
see if I could make it multiple law enforcement sources Sam
I nailed it. Multiple law of multiple law enforcement
sources. Multiple
law enforcement sources say one of the bombs consisted of PVC
tubing and used a digital clock connected to a small battery as
a possible trigger device. pyrotechnic powder was the
explosive. And in order to co op
pyrotechnic powder, you mean it was like a flash pot?
It was like the stuff that you put in firecrackers, Flash pot.
Keep it like magnesium.
Yeah, wait, glass was used as shrapnel. Investigators think
whoever put the device together was trying to keep the weight
down so that it could be put in a mailbox without having to
appear at a post office for mailing Ron Hosko is a former
Assistant Director of the FBI. What does it say that they
didn't explode?
Well, I may say that that they were intercepted prior to their
ability to explode may say that they were never capable of
exploding even though they may have had black powder in them.
The six packages all consisting of a large manila envelope with
six American forever flag stamps will now be analyzed at the FBI
Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. Investigators will
deconstruct them looking to trace the origin of the wiring
and the other components to see where and when they may have
been purchased. And by whom, on the package itself, that looked
for fingerprints and potentially the suspects DNA if the stamps
were licked, as they're gathering this information, all
these investigators, how does that information filter up to
the top?
What markings are on the outside or on the inside of a piece of
Encap? To see who's the manufacturer? Where is that
product distributed? Is it unique in some way, looking at
the tape looking at and cuts on the tape. If I tear something
off, and a piece of that tape is left at my on the subject at my
house, they may be able to match ends. So
tonight the FBI and police in Los Angeles are swarming the
central postal facility. They're we're told investigators have
discovered another suspicious package address to Congresswoman
Maxine Waters. If it turns out to be real. This would be the
second address the waters in the seventh package overall.
Yeah, we have. Yeah, we haven't seen a single statement about
the actual bomb itself, which is interesting. I'd like to know
what did it work? Was it real? What was in it? What was the
mechanism?
I mean, there is a guy on Twitter who is the bomb guy? And
he said I could go back and get his tweets. But he said this was
bullcrap. Because he says pipe bombs for wanting to ever have
wires coming out of both sides is idiotic, right? And he went
on and on about how these bombs were phony. He thought they were
all just props,
props, props. Well, well, I did hunt around, because you know,
most of these did not reach there. And that this is also
reported very by omission very poorly. They Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama, they never got those bombs. They never got the
envelopes, they were stopped at the central processing, which
the secret service handles and there was a pretty interesting
interview on NPR and there were about, you know, this, this
screening of packages for people under a federal protection by
the Secret Service. And there was a little thing in here that
I thought was interesting at the end.
Well, the the common practice of the Secret Service is to screen
mail at an off site location, typically, and this has been
going on for the last 3035 years where they have available a
number of different sensors that detect biosensors, radiation and
other gas known gases. And in this case, if it's if it was a
pipe bomb, would have been easily detected in an x ray
machine or a trace detection machine on site. That's
just one as an ask you if you could give us a picture of what
that mail sorting process is like. I mean, when Secret
Service agents sift through the Daily Mail, how do they handle
it in case it could explode or be toxic? You mentioned an x ray
machine what else?
Typically, if it's determined that it's of risk, if it's a
device that's suspicious, they have containers, they also have
they have container a robots that will come in and actually
look at the device remotely so that there's not a human
involved in the examination process. So it's very detailed,
the Secret Service actually goes through exercises where their
own try to place devices that might be at risk and test the
the mail Operation 24/7.
That's what it sounds like. To me. This looks exactly like some
testing they want to send through let's see if they catch
it.
Like to where they yo he pointed this out before but the use of
the word device. Yes, seems to be a common device. Before we go
to Fran, let's go I forgot we do have a second half of that Trump
CLI. This is where he is continuing on this spiel at the
front of the large audience. And he kind of really starts
twisting it even more toward the Democrats,
as part of a larger national effort to bridge our divides and
bring people together. The media also has a responsibility to set
a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant
negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do.
To do it. Have to do it. Have to do it.
They've got to stop. Stop. Bring people all together. We're just
13 days away from a very, very important election. It's an
election of monumental. Just if you look at it monumental
importance, isn't it wouldn't you say, monumental voice? There
are dramatic differences between our two political parties that
we know. It is essential for democracy to draw sharp contrast
between the two different platforms put before the
American people, and we have a chance to do that, right now in
many states. And on November 6, we need more not less debate
about policy issues in our country. But what we cannot do
is let our disagreements about matters of policy terrorists
apart as a country can't do that. We must accept the
verdicts of elections. And remember that America's greatest
achievements have always been those endeavors we embarked on
together, we have had great great achievements.
He could have easily said the same thing, but done it in a way
that got the crowd really excited and no one's excited.
There's that that was that's what's wrong with the picture.
It's just wrong. No, he's not. That's what you need for
everybody.
He's worked it into his routine. It's not for me, he's, I've come
to the conclusion that his polished routine, which is what
he does normally, where he's, you know, conversational, rather
than sounds like he's reading, which is what he's doing here. I
just don't think he's had time to incorporate this is all new.
Right? It's like you're given a comedian and a new look new
lines like I can't I can't
watch we used to go to the there's a place locally that on
Tuesday nights would have a lot of the famous local comedians
would come out and Robin Williams was there all the time.
Dana Carvey, all these different characters, and they come out to
practice their material, and Carvey, I think less so. But
Robin Williams has always come out with a yellow notepad. And
he just right right terial from the notepad and to get the
response, and they wish and it was not smooth. It was not like
it's right. Talking is like these below. And let me try this
joke. And then you start reading this basically reading like
reading jokes, even though they were more complicated. I think
that's what's going on here. By
the way, just thinking from a strategy standpoint, it would
probably smug be smarter instead. Well, what we're seeing
now is the bomb is all Trump's fault. Because he said, Oh, and
meet the people. So that's why it was sent to CNN. And
he's really making that stretch the CNN thing. Yeah.
But they're pulling all the stops out. It would be much
smarter from a mission perspective, to blame this on
the Saudis. That's what everybody wants. That's the big
news. We'll get to in a minute that everyone wants to
blame it on the Russians cut. No, no, no, no,
no, the Russians, it's now Saudis. Everything switched to
that could be but let's get to Fran, I want to because I
get the frame. But before we get too far, I do have a little
short snippet I want. I want you to play. It's very short. It's
only nine seconds. But I want to see how fast you are on the
draw. Okay. You should be able to figure it out by the name of
the clip. Yes.
My highest duty, as you know, as President is to
protect and defend and uphold and defend the Constitution of
the United States of America. Mr. President,
keep America safe. That's what we do.
That's not what you do. This what we do now. Hold on, hold
on, hold on, hold on. He gets a firm and solid. Lies, lies. He
lies. I hate that word. Passion. I hate that
Fran Townsend served as homeland security adviser to President
George W. Bush. She is now a senior national security analyst
for CBS News. They knew what they were doing enough to make a
bomb friend, but certainly not in a very sophisticated
way. That's right. It's what we're hearing from law
enforcement is it's a crude device, it would have been
lethal if opened and detonated. But it's not a standard recipe.
And so what we're hearing from law enforcement sources is this
is an individual who didn't go on the internet, and just pull
down a standard al Qaeda recipe which we've seen before. So he's
left his own signature, right. There's something unique about
the way this has been put together, which will very be
very helpful to investigate. But the
notion that it's PVC and not metal, and so potentially could
get through a metal detector is is
a little frightening. That's right. This is somebody who
thought about it. He listened and that's also the reason you
have all the return addresses being Debbie Wasserman Schultz
to all these Democratic leaders, thinking that perhaps it
wouldn't be screened because it was familiar They would have
expected something from her. You think the rest happens quickly
in a case like this? I do. I think there'll be lots of
breaks. This is somebody who's who's made plenty of mistakes
the wrong address to Eric Holder misspelling John Brennan's name
John Brennan doesn't work at CNN. He works at NBC. And so
this is somebody who's made plenty of mistakes along the
way. All the outside packages are identical six, six stamps to
tears, printed labels. This is somebody who's who's likely left
a lot of clues
odd but still scary. Yeah. Fran Townsend
amateur, an amateur. I tell you, amateur.
I think it was, you know, the possibility. It was Debbie
Wasserman Schultz all along? Well,
you know, to be honest, and I know you tweeted about it. But
they really should have gone to her first and said, let me just
check out what's going on. I mean, that just because she's
Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesn't absolve her from any possible
that she could be the bomber wrong. Well, it's coming came
from her.
That's what says,
regardless, I think your point is valid, they should at least
have said hey, you know, there was I don't know if anyone went
to her right away.
No, I don't think so. Anyway,
this this whole thing is I don't think they're gonna find
anybody. I think this will just unless they can paint it on the
Saudis and therefore Trump somehow they get they could get
they could get him in there. He may have
a patsy already lined up could be. I mean, it's possible. It's
what he is. Somebody pointed out that when did mom thing first
cropped up? Because I had mentioned it six weeks ago? Yes,
it was to the day, wasn't it? That there is a six week cycle
underway. Once again, Ryan to the day is when the bombing
thing came up, which indicates if it's an FBI deal, that means
they probably have some sucker already in custody. Who was a
suspect? Yeah. And another one of these guys who's really dumb,
and you know, and he's going to be the guy they're going to pin
it on. And they probably would had him do what do you actually
do the bombs? I mean, it's possible. Let me show you how to
do these bombs. Oh, okay. Yeah. First, you wear these gloves and
you don't touch anything. And by the way, I thought Jeff brigades
when he said, dig and check and see whether the stamps were
licked. When's the last time you bought a stamp? Woodlake
now, I just bought stamps the other day. Yeah, you don't. I
don't have envelopes that you lick anymore.
Yeah, yeah. So there's no stamps to lick there hasn't been
firmed. I don't know how many years. By the way. I went to the
post office to buy stamps because he got some really cool
stamps out. I got the Elvis stamps. The Elvis stamps are
cool. Yeah. The airmail stamps are the ones that are going
fast. If you find those, they're done in an old fashioned style
and they're actually raved. And they will last longer. Oh, they
will fade like that Elvis stamp will.
I sent I sent my my IRS check to the Treasury. Yeah. And I only
had one stamp left and it was a snake and I'm like, oh, man, I
don't think I'm gonna put this on. It's no one's gonna open
this up the DAT asshole put in a snake stamp on audit. You know,
I just had that feeling. Yeah,
I was yeah, that's why I got the Elvis stamp. Yeah, this is
better. So but I was told because I know this they they're
already talking about make because you know they've scammed
the US Postal Service in the American public with the way
they're doing it. Nobody else in the world has to do this, but
they have to pre pay all their retirement benefits. And so they
they're talking about the dollar being $1 being the cost of a
stamp and maybe within the next year. Oh, say screw it. We're
just gonna jack it up to a buck.
You know, I was at the post office to send a box off to
Christina and it was I was only one one person when one woman
was working there. And so I'm chatting her up because you
know, I just I don't get out of the house much. I want some
human interaction. I'm asked and I laid this man you guys really?
You always begin with that? You guys really got screwed man with
that prefunding of your pensions and they bitch about you. Yeah,
so immediately the post office worker loves you. Because they
all they all know it. Like yeah, that's right. And I said Is this
your uniform? She said we just got new uniforms they suck balls
are so horrible. They don't fit right and they do look horrible.
I mean, the US Postal have a look at them. The shirts are no
longer meant to be tucked in they just hang out. They got you
know, it's like really trying to ruin the post. Yes. So you guys
got a general you got to generally charge
do with the Bureau of Federal Express X and united does
business Yeah. Well anyway to put my post woman said I asked
her about the stamp increases I said should I just be stocking
up on these forever stamps because they're forever She
says, Yeah, you should buy as many as you can, is when the
price goes up. It's gonna be very hard. It's gonna be hard to
buy stamps. Yeah, so expense. I'm
gonna ask for the stamps that don't get don't get cancelled
when they go through the machine. I'd like those stamps,
please. Yeah, like the ones that got sent to Brennan at CNN. Oh,
sorry. Anyways, back to the original premise of this
caravan. Very convenient, perfect Republican talking
point. This is why don't belong to parties because this is the
asshole stuff that goes on in these in these outfits. People
become just horrible. And so I think this whole caravan thing
is exaggerated, at best. And there's just a lot of imagery,
you know, we're not really getting much elsewhere. We're
just we're just not. And then you have maybe this as the
counterbalance, like, oh, you know, these guys are unhinged.
They're crazy. You got to be against Trump and everybody who
supports and so then we have this, you know, this caravan
news wishes. It's really well,
let me here's Pompeo. Here's Pompeo setting the stage as to
what we will and will not allow migrant caravan caravan is
violating Mexico's sovereignty laws and immigration procedures.
President Trump will not stand for this to happen to the United
States. To those who say say this is a hard hearted stance,
let's not forget that the United States is a historically
generous nation, when it comes to immigration, for 1 million
people per year are granted permanent legal status. Here in
the United States, over 33 million people total are
currently here. I always love the 33 main who have immigrated
to this country, illegally, to those who want to come here,
come here illegally. Now let's just stop for one second. Just
so we all understand. If you're of the opinion, these are people
who are being threatened with it, their lives are being
threatened at home, they are fleeing this Mexico bus will not
have them. They're fleeing, and they're here for asylum. Okay,
we have a procedure for that you must go to a port of entry, you
may sit there for a month as well. But that's the procedure,
not just going to the border and saying I request asylum there,
it's and there are multiple ports you can go to, there's
ways to do it a lot easier ways than what they're trying to do
right now. legal immigration is the surest way to obtain the
better life you're looking for here in the United States of
America. From a security standpoint, there is no proper
accounting of who these individuals in the caravan are.
And this poses an unacceptable security risk to the United
States. Moreover, many of these people are right targets for
human traffickers and others who would exploit them. We don't
want that to happen. I've spoken twice in the last two days to my
counterpart, Foreign Secretary Videgaray. We trust that
Mexico's leaders know what the best steps are to resolve this
situation. And we urge timely action on their part. The United
States also has a message for those who are currently part of
this caravan, or any caravan which follows you will not be
successful at getting into the United States illegally. No
matter what. I repeat, the caravan will not cross our
southern border illegally under any circumstances. If you seek
to come here, go through the normal refugee process. If you
apply for refugee status, a permanent solution is possible
in Mexico or in a third country. But I can tell you with
certainty, we are determined. Did you hear that
you can also request your asylum status in Mexico. Just play that
back to the process.
If you apply for refugee status, a permanent solution is possible
in Mexico or in a third country. But I can tell you
when you can apply for asylum when you're in Mexico certainty,
we are determined that illegal entry into the United States
from this caravan will not be possible
and just to show you how how this is being abused or used for
its only purpose today. What's a Martha McCollum whoever's who's
on before frat boy Tucker's at Martha Martha McCullum. Martha.
I
don't know maybe. Yeah.
So Martha is going to be doing her show from the border with
DHS Secretary Kirsten Nielsen. I mean, come on. This is that is
nothing but political. This caravan.
Danis to where we were, as are San Antonio for some food. I
don't know what she's doing. She wants to get out of the office.
But then you read like, yeah, we know. Jenny's your den. You
know, Jenny. Yeah, of course. Yeah. So Jan is a technology
reporters. We know her professionally. We've met with
her several times. Here's what she puts on Twitter. That's
right. I'm doing Jenny's voice to a tee by the way. That's
right terrified white people. The brown zombies are 1000 miles
from the southern border and they're coming to mow your
lawns, wash your cars, harvest your crops, pack your pork raise
your kids mop your floors. Mokume your office and pay taxes
time to flip out? Like that is such a tone deaf colorblind
thing to say? Well, they're also extremely racist.
Well, it's very rare. This is the old Well, if you remember I
was the goes on the view, when some one of the women on there
one of the left wing left wingers, which is Jenny would be
says, who's going to clean our toilets? Yeah. This is like,
unbelievable. It's like, that's what that's what we're dealing
with, are we just gonna get a bunch of immigrants, you know,
who used to clean, or they're good for cleaning the toilets.
It used to be
the Irish, the Irish are doing that kind of stuff. This is when
I hear Jenny's your den like this. And it's somehow it's,
there's this elitist attitude that we should be really happy
these people want to come in to do the jobs we don't want to do.
And I have no problem cleaning my own toilet, I actually find
it somewhat therapeutic in an odd way. It's it's placing
anyone who is of a certain color into a certain position and and
by hiring someone to do that to pack your pork. You can then
say, I help out the brown people. Look, I'm putting them
on the ladder to success in America. Aren't I good?
To see them on the ladder to the roof?
Yes. There's something really disturbing about it.
Yeah, it is pretty it's always been. And it flows so easily.
From
so easily. And they just they don't even understand where my
toilet cheese.
You were asking who's helping these people out or what is
going on. And I have seen actually, there's one video that
it says subtitles because it's just a YouTube video from
someone on their phone. Some lady going through her town
saying, Well, this is what they left because you want to know
where's the poop in the trash? Well, it's in that town in
Mexico. And they said they did they just left half eaten food
rations, none of the clothes that people collected and put
out for the for the caravanners to use, none of them took any of
that. So you know, that's not exactly the way you'd expect
people to behave as they're on their way to freedom. But
there's something else that's going on coming
up why the UN versus BBC refugee agency has increased its
presence to help the migrant caravan that's heading towards
the US from Central America.
We think that every state should take any measure that they
consider necessary to defend their borders. But what we
really appeal is like to open the space to the people to open
their territory to the open the right the asylum system, and to
the people that really are in need of the protection to the UN
High Commission on asylum. What is it the actual High Commission
for Refugees is helping this caravan and saying you should
let them in. The globalists appear to be behind this. Not
just our own globalist in America. But the ones that the
United Nations, the very New World Order global no nations no
borders headquarters.
So are you stunned by this?
I think it should be discussed,
and nobody's going to discuss it because the globalist won't
allow it. Let's face it the globalists have taken over the
media. Yes. No doubt this brought up a point that I
thought this was Amy Goodman. This was one of the most
interesting clips and it's a two parter. Because the second part
is funny too. And I can I would like to deconstruct it a little
bit. But the first part, this is Trump, Trump Trump. This is she
goes nuts about this. This is like the big scandal on the
left.
Trump is a nationalist? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I got some clips for
that, too. All right, good. Good, good, good. Play.
This campaign rally for Republican senators Ted Cruz
Monday evening, President Trump declared that he's a
nationalist. Well, no,
but globalists is a person that wants the globe to do well.
Frankly, not caring about our country so much. And you know
what we can have, you know, they have a word. It sort of became
old fashioned. It's called a nationalist. And I say really?
We're not supposed to use that word. You know what I am? I'm a
nationalist. Okay.
Trump's comments Monday align with his populist America first
rhetoric through the label of nationalist is more often
associated with extreme right wing ideology and fascist
regimes questioned by reporters Tuesday, Trump denied the term
nationalist was used to describe racist movements saying he was
proud to use it. And that quote should be brought back.
So I thought that she was aghast at this, because we can't even
use the word because the word implies all kinds of other
things. Oh, yeah. And
no, no, actually, this is what it is a white nationalist is
like saying white bread you got bread by itself nationalist by
itself, but the moment you put something else in front of it,
which is what we've heard for the past three years really if
you take the campaigning into account that the anchor of the
word nationalist is now anchored into these people's heads for
sure as white nationalist. Yeah, it's a
word trick, which then also goes to white supremacist and of
course Hitler. They like to do this sort of thing now shoot
this second part of this clip is got some it's got some usage I
don't like and I'm going to explain why. Okay, and then it's
also going to reveal that pants believes that our debt
Venezuela's behind which I said a couple of shows ago, is behind
the caravan of madness
proud to use it and that it quote should be brought back.
The wife of white supremacist leader Richard Spencer,
are you playing the wrong clip?
Well, it's number two.
Yeah, yeah, you're right. This is the wrong series. Does my
fault okay, this I wanted to do you have the other clip you're
just talking about? No, no, no, I want to play this clip first.
Because this is I just lost track of my my my pairings
sorry.
like a fine wine with some duck.
So we just talked about white nationalism, white supremacy
white, you know, I'm not done with that. So you translate. But
this, this clip now so she just played that clip your eyes see
what it is? Yes. What is she? And what then what does she
transition into? Right? No other story. She goes right from the
end of the Trump clip with her quote, yes is right to this and
listen to this, to me is subtle, creepy propaganda, proud
to use it and that quote should be brought back. The wife of
white supremacist leader Richard Spencer has accused him of
regularly physically and emotionally abusing her.
According to a very
dirty trick. Very dirty trick. Well, Homer. This was on Oh,
this is the Cuomo kid. Just to see you can laugh. Steve Cortez,
right think is brown. By the way. He's a Republican. They're
talking he's like Anna Navarro is on I don't have any of her.
Just listen to him say Hey, this is just a nationalist does not
mean Nazi or white supremacist. Listen to what the Cuomo kid
evokes?
Is that just the straight truth Trump isn't nationalist? And
with all that word carries? No, no, he
is a nationalist I am too but you don't understand what it
does carry. When you try to compare American nationalism to
Nazis, for example, you're incredibly mistaken because the
Nazis they're they're perverted nationalism was about racial
purity. It was about blood and soil, American nationalism,
which by the way, defeated Nazism. American nationalism is
about shared ideals. It's about a constitution. That's not
nothing to do with race for example. Yes, it is. Well, by
the way, you you don't get Chris to just decide Nobody made you
CEO of the English language, you know better than to me you know,
better than George Orwell. You know,
that is yes, I do. Yes. Yes. Yeah.
Man, don't you know who George Orwell is?
Now, George Orwell is determined the word nationalist.
God, that's what they'd like.
To Trump is like Nigerian format. And he's like the pigs.
The pigs man. I have a long clip but Wingstop whenever we want,
but it's Nicole Wallace and her her band of people on MSNBC
yesterday. I and I cut all kinds of unimportant stuff out and
it's still just minutes of, of just insanity unhinged stuff.
Would you like to play along?
No. Yeah. Today he doubled down on being a nationalist.
He is and the tweets you put up earlier for Robert Costa are
right. This is a little bit of an evolution. For him. This is a
phrase that he devilish. I mean, for his phrase that at first he
didn't really want to embrace that. A key moment was actually
after the Access Hollywood tape. I think some was covered the
campaign will remember it. So a week or so later, he gave a
speech in in Florida, I believe. And it was the one where it was
a real screed against globalist institutions that afterwards was
a lot of criticism, Semitic, and that sort of it felt anti it
felt anti semitic came the tone that he followed through the
stretch run as a campaign says the non Jew and has now kept
since he's obviously withdrawn from a number of international
agreements. It is very much a you know, America first, but
more than that, just sort of like you know, America first and
last only to be self interests. Not perhaps honouring what
country's role around the world has been now in the Oval Office
just now we saw him splitting hairs a little bit like he tried
to suggest that he didn't even he wasn't even aware of the
negative connotations of that term.
He doesn't know anything about history, or do you think he
knows that some of the great nationalists of all time include
Adolf Hitler. I mean, every dictator pleaded for their
constituents, we can even call them that their subjects in the
in the case of Idi Amin and others.
Whoa, whoa, we just brought an Idi Amin. This is new. Idi Amin.
Was he a nationalist?
Not that I know,
the dictator run by the CIA wasn't a
Well, this was an excuse,
but to bring in Idi Amin is known
to sort of harken to their nationalist impulses.
Well, you know, I think what he there's a reason why other
presidents don't use the phrase nationalists themselves, they
use a safer term patriot, right. Patriotism is something that
most mostly people can agree on as a safe politically, is a more
unifying. We're the nationalist nationalist,
No, I disagree. Don't you think the word patriot has also been
completely tainted down into racist? To say, I'm a patriot?
It can be I think you're getting just say that I think,
I don't think you can still stand up and say I'm a patriot,
because you'll hear Oh, yeah. Republican,
obviously, as you say, is frayed and through history. But we've
seen with this president before that he doesn't care what
history says if he likes
it or not. No. Do you think no power? Do you think he has any
idea the history of World War Two, and Nazism you think it
came from, from a call for nationalism?
Well, let's look at let's look at the phrase friends America
first, which we just talked about, I mean, America First he
might not have known at first was associated with the pre
World War Two isolationist and Nazi sympathizers. Clearly, he
learned that at some point along the way, but just
they just can't stop. It's like, he doesn't know the history of
World War Two. He doesn't know the history of Hitler. He
doesn't know the history. He doesn't know history. He
doesn't.
It didn't matter to him because they were conveyed what he wants
to convey. Similarly with the phrase enemy of the people,
right, he uses that against some of us. Doesn't may not have
known at first that was you
notice how they just slipped that in? He uses that against
some of us know, that. No fake news different
is by Stalin as part of the mass murderers, but certainly by now
must know that somebody must have told him that he must have
read that someplace, doesn't matter, but it conveys what he
wants to convey. He doesn't care if history, you know, conveys
the meaning with these words, or maybe he does and it's okay with
him because the message he's trying to get out is one that
says he more than anybody else is standing up for the United
States and it resonates with the crowd last night in Houston. I
was there. They loved it. They cheat They booed the word
globalist they cheered the word nationalist. When he said I'm a
nationalist, they chanted USA, USA. This is a galvanizing
language for his core supporters going into a midterm election
two weeks from now.
I watched it three channels and know that they cheered it Hitler
to I mean, nationalist, they
cheer to Hitler. Don't you know that she
isn't divorced from possibly the terror crowd. It doesn't make it
right. It doesn't make an American and it doesn't mean
that Donald Trump isn't totally ignorant of the history of the
word nationalism.
Donald Trump doesn't read books.
She goes on as she keeps hounding this one point. He's
ignorant. He doesn't know what he's doing. He's like a moron.
He hasn't ever doesn't know what Nationalism means. Oh, it gets
better
isn't divorced from the capacity to tear a crowd. It doesn't make
it right. It doesn't make an American and it doesn't mean
that Donald Trump isn't totally ignorant of the history of the
word nationalism.
Donald Trump doesn't read books. I don't think
any of his family doesn't read books, not even his own
from Donald Trump studying the history of Nazism or Charles
Lindbergh,
or any Charles Lindbergh. Why are we bringing Charles
Lindbergh in? This is also I
haven't no idea. I mean, Lindbergh was a non Nazi
sympathizer. Yes, for World War Two in the mid 30s. So maybe
that's the reason they're bringing him in. I don't know
just like a call back that nobody cares about that. For
some reason that just throwing that into dip half the audience
doesn't even know who Neil sadaqa is.
He's other hateful trends. He's got a good line, by the way,
going into the midterms. He understands that the base that
got him elected in 2016 is still the base he needs now, and that
is predominantly white. It's predominantly male, and it's non
college educated, and he's doing in
other words, dumb Fox and racist dog whistles.
Just defend dog whistles. They're silent. These are loud.
Let me read this to you. The Washington Post Greg Sargent
writes what would make his claim controversial as if Trump
actually meant racial nationalists, which, of course,
is exactly what he did mean,
Joe? No, he said it he said, I'm not a globalist. And now,
they're just taking this and this is a lie
by claiming to be breaking a taboo by using this particular N
word
Trump. N word. There we go. Basically confirmed
that Without saying it out loud. You're on board with that
analysis, Donna.
Well, I think that's exactly right. And some people describe
this.
To her, she's great. She's the last one
undertone. It's not it is the tone. I mean, the President of
the United States, the only thing that was the tone is
wrong. missing from that speech in Houston last night was the
tiki torches in the khakis. Because the President of the
United States understands what he believes he needs to turn out
his base, he's using that it's xenophobic, it's racist. And,
you know, that coupled with the caravans and even the defense of
Brett Kavanaugh, the beleaguered white man under assault by the
rest of America, all of these play into what Trump sincerely
believes is a way that his voters are going to turn out and
it is the worst possible thing. And so the President is doing
this on purpose. And I think we shouldn't get, you know, fooled
into thinking well, maybe he doesn't understand what he said.
He understood full well what he said and he meant it. Yeah, he
used the N word that Hitler. Wow. This bad man I made
deals with the devil. That's right.
deals with the devil.
Gotcha. This come up. And that is the worst. I mean, I can't
give you a clip. No,
I don't want I would refuse. I would reject it. Because it's
just so offensive. It's so offensive as drivel.
But yet it should be at CNN should be ashamed of itself for
putting
MSNBC MSNBC.
Oh, what am I thinking? Yeah.
I mean, I've listened to this all day. I mean, that's that's
really my
NBC has. Well, NBC and we should mention the current course.
Because there's a thing I want to read. I don't have any clips.
Although I could get plenty of them. But is the MS. The Megyn
Kelly thing? Yes. Now she's NBC. This is very, very cool. Now
what happened with Megyn Kelly, and if you've been watching my
tweets, when I first saw the first article come out because
she, she had gone on her show and said, you know, she naively
did this, but I can kind of understand it from her
perspective. You know, when I was a little girl, and you know,
she's was one of those obviously cute little girls that could do
anything. Nobody gave a crap. You could wear blackface and go
trick or treating. And I don't see what the big deal is. Yeah.
And she has no you know, she's the one who's you know, she's
just take Toller off on the show. And we can get some clips
from it. I can show Monday on Sunday. I do have some not on
today's rundown. But Jason No, this is bad. You got to
apologize. What
was he apologized?
apologized but that would dinner wasn't good enough. And Al Roker
who was I think I hit man for the for the network. Oh sure.
came out and said Now it's an apology is not good enough. It
wasn't this was Oh, you don't have a clip of that. I wish I
could have heard that. Well then, and I'll get these clips.
And then he she came out and apologized again with the damn
near crying. And then they condemned her for having fake
tears and all this other stuff, which is she's a woman and
they're ganging up on a
pin waiting to take her down this was already they had the
paperwork ready they were just waiting for a moment. And if
you're doing a live talk show that moment is going to come
Oh it comes a lot but most times they just get it gets ignored or
you get out of it. I mean, you know with Letterman is a good
example. But they didn't want her and so I watched the
articles come a variety just was slam basting her with editorials
and the variety. Nearly a stooge for the for the network. But
Megan kid, this is a CNN opinion piece that ran on Ms. And
Microsoft. Megan Kelly's blackface comments show her true
face by Roxanne Jones. And then this is interesting did I'm
gonna read you the first two paragraphs. Sometimes I'm sorry
just doesn't cut it. A hard lesson that NBC Today Show Host
Megyn Kelly now understands. Reportedly Kelly's Morning Show
Megan Kelly today may be canceled. According to CNN
sources and variety reports. Kelly who never really seemed
like a good fit for NBC. This is the this is the part that always
cracks me up. This is that anyone who's worked in a company
has seen this in many forms, but it's always it's always takes
the same form. You got an employee, the guy's a kickass
sales guy or he does something really spectacular and he's
everybody likes him. Something happens he does someone gets
fired. Then in all the meetings the guy was never any good fit
in didn't fit in. We're glad to get rid of him. It was it was
and he see this guy said wait a minute. You guys love this guy a
month ago. But now you hate him. And it's just like a corporate
thing. You have to do this. I guess it makes you it makes the
mechanism work better. Yeah, because well otherwise people
would say why don't you get rid of Bill? Weir is no good.
Well, she never she never really found her footing at the network
now did she got that she never really found her footing.
She was doing fine. Kelly you never seem to be a good fit.
This woman writes for the NBC morning show, overplayed her
popularity earlier this week when she passionately no
passionately defended people who've done blackface costumes
for Halloween. And that
is she was I saw the segment talking about black traditional
blackface where the exaggerated red lips and all that. That is
not what she was talking about. But she used the term
No, that's all that happened. All she did was used the term
she's and then it goes on a thing that most Americans
understand is definitely not okay. Unless their intention is
to offend. I don't know if that it is okay to offend it that
made this this makes no sense this article, quote, but what is
racist Kelly asked on her show, because you do get in trouble if
you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a
black person who puts on white face for Halloween. Back when I
was a kid, that was okay, as long as you're dressing up like
a character. Yeah. And then it appears that you can't even
discuss it. No. Even though you may be discussing it from a
screwball perspective, which wasn't right or wasn't right by
today's politically correct standards. It would have been
right. In the 50s or the 60s. She looks like kind of like a
50s character. But they were looking for something was a trap
door she fell into it. They were just laying in wait. And no
matter what she did, her first apology was no good. According
to Roker her second apology was a fake apology with fake tears
according to these other people, and it's just now she's done.
She is going to be off the air within a week the way it's going
and aid have wasted no time of fast tracking.
I think she already got a subtle oblivion. I think the news is
out $69 million settlement leave. should take it. Start
take it and start a podcast. Conan got
like NBC does this NBC is a screwed up company for throwing
money away like this. NBC I think it was 80 million because
when the Tonight Show, and then they bounced him out because
Leno wanted to show back better pay him off at the 10 o'clock
and that was Tucker by the way before he went to CNN. Zucker
was running the place that he had this bright idea of doing
Leno Show at 10 o'clock during primetime bumping off law and
order and all the dramas and putting Leno on every night at
10 wasn't working out is killing the ratings. Almost the
network's never recovered. They Glenna wants to go back to the
Tonight Show. They have to fire Conan, who was promised to show
they give him $80 million to go away. And I mean what kind of
did what did these guys there's a terribly run company? Oh, the
Comcast owns them. Now I don't know how Comcast puts up with is
the management at NBC. It's beyond me.
Well, the good news is now there's a slot open for the
return of Matt Lauer. And with that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage the man who put the sea and clean my toilet John sea
tomorrow
morning to you, Adam curry. Also all in the morning to all ships
at sea boots on the ground feed on the air subs in the water.
And all the dames knights
out there and in the morning to our troll room, which used to be
known as just the IRC channel and later became the chat room.
Void zero set that up thank you very much running for pretty
much all 11 years I think close to it. Troll room and no agenda
stream.com You can go to that website on Thursday and Sunday
mornings where you will hear us do the show live which is pretty
much the same as the podcast with just the like the ending
tightened up in the beginning with a little opener but
otherwise you hear the pre show and things that are going
to show go south in this we lose connections or something we get
to hear you cut
or hit the wall ownership bonus some people see it as a bonus.
But the troll room is also very important for me they do on the
fly. fact checking check false they feed me one liners they
tell me if something's wrong and they get a lot wrong to when
they troll but that's the beauty of it. No agenda stream.com
Thank you in the morning to you congratulations on 11 years yes
it was the other feature one liners
also in the morning to Darren O'Neill he brought us the
artwork for episode 1079. The title of that was expando
vision. I should say it properly back expando
vision. Actually, I should say it properly go for it. Expand
vision beautiful
This was the jar of Grey Poupon which was the no agenda Grey
Poupon. Yes, Dijon mustard. Now with more oomph.
33 ounces and there's a little thing on the on the jar top
thing. He's got a little joke on there.
Yes by three, three. I can't quite see it. Something like
that. Yeah. I never finished my Grey Poupon story, but we'll
leave that for later or another day did No, no, I never finished
the story. It's okay. We'll get to another time.
It's all you interrupted.
It was a celebrity. Yeah, now we just you you took over mid
sentence and it was okay. I was just like, oh, you said
something interesting side. I left it and then
I'm wondering what the Grey Poupon story is?
That's not all that great. But it's, I'll tell it a different
time. It's it's a showbiz story. It involves show business people
get lonely you go off the rails with
a little lengthy for for here. Okay.
We do have some people to thank for the anniversary show. 11
years show 1080 And we have show 1100 coming up pretty soon, by
the way, which is another breakthrough
number all good numbers.
I like these lemons. 11 around in fairness, very
wrong numbers, very strong numbers. lovin,
we have the top donor is we have a bunch of ins or a couple of
these one or two instances. It's Troy Thomas with 111 3.310. A
lot of that came in as a check. And he came in with a
handwritten note in longhand, and then he went back to all
caps printing for good reason. I haven't written I haven't
written in cursive he writes. That it shows you got to read
this in a long time. But I am trying to remember how I bed
like I am in fourth grade 44th our shirt just side again. Great
Again. Fourth grade again. I got a C in penmanship. So I will
stop now. It is getting easier as I write this but I will stop
now. Okay, back to all happened.
Yes, please go back to something we can understand.
I have no agenda. I don't remember how I found it. But I
remember cranky geeks so sorry about the column John but most
tech writing is shit now. Anyway. Your show messed up my
podcast listening. I used to listen to dumb stuff like Oh her
ID cast and career tools. But I only have so much podcast time
as my commute is short. Ironically, you mentioned the
old Agnew's hospital that closed my house this is the mental
hospital I talked about Yeah. My house is now on the old Agnew's
hospital land. It's called River mark and as a masterplan
community that is actually walkable with safe with a safe
way dry cleaning restaurants and a credit union. There's a Wells
Fargo but I would never bank with those dumb shits as there's
a piece to John here's my donation old school way check
111 3.31 for show 1113 Okay, clear the douchebag status for
me and send me some jobs karma Alright, first
de Deus.
You've been de deuced
he says with a job scrum at the end of his note my staff and
engineering got moved into it and management they're there
sucks it's me it's time for me to move on. Please Knight me
Knight of river Mark best you can choose a few clips Olds at
the end of the show I think are old school. Anyway, that was so
invalid jobs, jobs, jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. That's
by the way, you've got karma dimension
that the the void zero IRC network was alive a couple
months before the show actually started I did not know void
zero. And we just this is the beauty of this show. And we just
came into our lives and distill here well for the troll real
voice zero as a special person. Then roses to I had to give them
credit for
lots of special people but these guys Yeah, they
were there for the big dudes named Ben. I'm sure there's a
few others that we should very literally
sitting in our engine room. all the time just making sure the
engine is cranking and any other way we would we I mean we've go
so broke on bandwidth costs and everything they've you know,
they figured it all out they figured out how to you know the
most effective way yes, they're not idiots keep us safe.
Certainly Safe is a lot a lot cheaper than
pod bean Alright, you've exceeded your bandwidth. Try
getting your podcast man. It says your bandwidth succeeded.
What are we supposed to do now? I can't listen to the podcast

president has for the caravan and then that he has incited all
this violence with bombs I'm sorry i I must have temporarily
lost my mind but I'm seeing someone and I think I I'll be
okay I need one more week of paid leave. There's my idea

whatever you did wrong, that you had pointed out some issue that
was never resolved. That's a great out. They got me out of a
jam once. Yeah, I mentioned this like two months ago and nobody

executive producer with $333.33 This is 11 1111 times 301. For
myself, one for my wife and one for our expecting human resource
coming in April of next year on the show has helped me and I'm
sure others keep an even keel between dimensions. I've been a
big fan of Yeezy. For a long time. This clip showed me how
introspective he is in business. This has a link to a YouTube 24
hours if you want to check it out, F bomb it at No. F bomb at
end. Okay, I follow NANOG and North American network operators
group fairly closely. You this year there was a computer
science professor from Wisconsin giving a speech on how ruined
our network infrastructure will be with mass flooding and more
frequent storage which providers are at higher risk. Really you'd
like to watch talking about global warming?
Oh no, I can't watch Netflix now. It's a problem.
Looking for some jobs current my current salary is far below the
greater Seattle area median for network engineers. Thanks,
Amazon. Thanks for keeping the show going. 11 years sir Timothy
Scott cron jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma just about Amazon. My my, I have resentment
towards the Bezos with just what he's doing and connecting
everything and the advertising and the tracking and so I'm
like, you know, I'm not gonna go to whole it was much closer
Whole Foods is close by. I'm gonna go to HEB and we have a
real ghetto heb which I kind of enjoy its way south on on Oltorf
and I was already I'm like, I'm gonna make scallops for dinner
with the result. I've never done a result. I was my first result.
I'm very excited to get everything. What did what? What
are you doing? It? Why?
I'm not a big risotto fan. That's not nice. It's kind of
soupy rice.
Making a result? I got everything. I go to the fish
counter for the scallops. Because of the water boil. No
ice. No fish. No scallops? No nothing. Yeah, I race off to
get oh, like a real Texas heb or any of these big fiestas and
other chain I've seen down there that are just big supermarkets
that are kinda like appeal to the locals that know how to
cook. Yep, they're fantastic stores they got all kinds of
stuff you will not get it Whole Foods.
Absolutely true. Perhaps. And at a fraction of the price. Yeah,
cheaper and people are much happier and just as a much
better experience by did have to go to Whole Foods. They only had
they actually had some scallops still out. They were they can't
put any more fish produce out is done. No more fish products.
They can't keep it. They can't ship it. So we'll be eating beef
BBQ. Well, maybe it's just a little plot to get back on a
meat wagon.
We usually have sushi on Thursday nights. I don't think
that's gonna happen
ain't happening. I don't think so. hoity toity, Austin sushi
Archie
BARCHI sushi is famous in Austin. And I
don't eat sushi anywhere if not within 10 miles of a of an Ocean
coast. Just a habit of mine. It's just a belief of mine. Hey,

banned?
Well, not so is Sir Andrew snoops. Magoo, Bentley. Tacoma,
Washington during the $33. That segue. Nice. I like it.
Congratulations on your 11th year anniversary. elevens. My
lucky number I was born on the 11th hour of the 11th day of his
11 month. It wasn't a 1911 though. Keep up the great work.
Sir Andrew snoops, Magoo, Bentley jingle request any Al
Gore gloom and doom sound bite followed by Obama saying you you
might die,
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, you might die.
You've got to get karma.
Like Arthur coolmath In Parts Unknown $250 Excellent product.
He begins his note, thank you that I enjoy very much. There
are so many lies, misdirection, hysteria and complete nonsense
to the MSM, mainstream media that your show is on island of
repose from my weary soul.
Nice. That's a bumper sticker.
For your needed work, keep it up for another 11 years. Thank
you very much. We'd love being an island of repose for your
weary soul. And thank you for your support of the show. I
don't know about another 11 years though.
Yeah, we both had the same like, kind of like the way you think
about my risotto.
Well, maybe I didn't say anything about your resort. I've
never had your risotto. I'm talking about risotto in
general. I don't make soupy risotto. Of stole risotto is
kind of suit me. Little soapy. It loses its its whatever. Ryan
Burgess In El Paso Texas $250 He writes in a note damnit use this
note he's apparently sent in like a number of notes Oh yes
yes sir base I think it was like three I don't know if this is on
there you're gonna have to do take a note all right I got sir
bong hits and bourbon back in the saddle living down in sunny
El Paso home of Beto bet it's been a couple of years since
they donated due to my many excuses too common and boring to
repeat here since they've been corrected in the proper term. In
the proper term of bong rips and because I have graduated to
single malt scotch, I would like to retire my current title and
request a new one Oh, okay, maybe Eric may have it on there
let me surpass Night Of The Sun City.
Yes, we have it sir balling it some bourbon goes to surpass
Night Of The Sun City. Yes, that is on the peerage notation list.
A shout out to my smokin hot wife who thinks you too are
annoying.
Shout out back at you.
I'm slowly winning her over probably not doubtful. The
garland clan in PA Washington including Brielle, Dame Elise
hot fisherwoman and cousin Ian, as well as my manis yell Ginder
whoever unfortunately call out as a douchebag for not donating
I have to call out as a douchebag for not donating give
me a few things from my perspective is a big giant
family. Yeah, people that related to
related to the garlic. That's insane. That's did they i What
I'd like to know is did Dame Elise get other people to listen
or was that independent? Is it something that runs in their
bloodline?
I think her brother is a natural for the show.
And this is just one of the many people that we have come to
adore over the years. who just joined us
because Dame Elise gives us free things.
Okay, that was going in a different way. But yeah, send us
free show we adore you man. Speaking of adoration just
because it came up Beto, Beto, there's this this is a 12 second
clip and there's something wrong with this. You can't
go 10 feet without an interruption from a Beto backer.
I love you too. Thank you. Oh, you're a rock star. No, no,
there's just so many great people who are
when is the last time we actually had a quote unquote
rock star? Hello 1980s rock stars the
look of that lead guitar player lead lead of the cars a RICO
classic. He has a RICO classic goofball look, it's not a rock
star
rock star.
Just need to you know it's it's I don't know it's just an
anachronism rush when
you play that clip because this note goes like this. A few
things from my perspective down here before I get into the main
reason I'm able to support you to and your stellar work one.
Almost every house in El Paso has a freaking Beto sinal er Oh,
it's Klymit direct sales going door to door selling solar and
I'm amazed at the level of support this town throws one of
the one of their own. That being said they're mostly hypocrites
as many of them don't have solar or even want to add it to their
homes regardless of Beto.
You should change your pitch Hi, I'm here on behalf of Beto by
the way that was funny yesterday, I got this I got this
text message and I despise this because you know I try not to be
tracked at all. From a 737 number. And it was Hi Adam is
georgeanne with Beto for Texas. Early voting is started. We're
fired up to vote. You can early vote based on public records. We
think you're registered to vote and Travis County check here for
where to early vote. When will you vote? And so I texted back.
I said Dear Georgiana, I'm so sorry to hear this. Ted asked me
last week and I've already made a date with him but maybe next
year heart as she replied. He said oh, that's that's actually
pretty funny. Okay, have a nice day. I was like, Oh, that's
really that's there's a real human being there. They got so
much money.
Oh 33 million pigs. Oh,
I got time to be texting with me all day. All right.
Anyway, he goes on. He says not my business. My company provides
energy and solar solutions in El Paso, Texas, Las Cruces,
Albuquerque and Pensacola. Here currently we are expanding into
other markets as well. We'll see if you use enough energy to
benefit you get a 30% tax credit goes on he says here's my call
to action if any no agender at genders in these are surrounding
areas go solar with my company. I will donate $333 In no agenda
and your name. That's right. And executive producers ship for
saving money and the planet. Wow. And it's and the website is
Merica no a m e r a KISOL America soul Oh no, M E R k i s
o l a r solutions.com says one word Merica so sold solar
solutions.com Oh nice URL cheese

Berkey Water sales just flying off the shelf.
Oh, I bet they are. This is a bonanza for him. Yes. Then they
laughed. They laughed. I mean that most of these water deals
are not you know, anything to brag about. Berkey
is an outstanding product.
Yeah, it does. Because it's a full it's a real deal. It's not
like a cheapy. It's not like just a filter to make your water
taste better. Right. Which is what I use. I use zero water I
think is the best tasting water. Zero water and you refrigerate
it. It is absolutely delicious. Much better than evianne
and much better than risotto. Risotto.
You got to keep stirring it.
You know, I know it's it takes. It's very labor intensive.
There is a shortcut methodology that actually works. I've seen
it. It's something that one of these British chefs dreamed up
and
you got to do it the official way. Keep adding the liquid keep
adding stirring. All right, John, get it? I'm not making

Yep, he's all together. Looks like that's Khashoggi. Driss,
we have the official pronunciation we've been trying
to figure this out. No, we have yes we do. We have the official
pronunciation pronunciation of Khashoggi you said
Jamal Khashoggi was a good guy. Could Jamal Khashoggi Jamal
Khashoggi
Khashoggi, there you go. Jamal Khashoggi is now the official no
agenda pronunciation of the name. Even though I asked
guy is still on the
air. Jamal Khashoggi
is the official way to pronounce it is Jamal Khashoggi Khashoggi
No, Jamal, Jamal Khashoggi that's the official way.
I want you to pronounce it that way from now on.
I want to do Sharpton zwei Okay, Jamel Jamel Khashoggi, the
Khashoggi Khashoggi.
Khashoggi was shogi. Check, check. shoshi it's not now. I've
heard it could check Jamal Katsuji CG,
okay, doesn't really matter. Hey, there's a lot going on. As
I predicted, now the world is starting to come into action.
Now we're seeing the real players behind this angle. And
Merkel. I'm looking at her as part of propagating this trying
to cut the Saudis out of everything. And, and Erawan is
he is loving this key has now become the central figure in the
Middle East. Where's he really had no power against? The Crown
Prince. So look at who's now all of a sudden his friend. We've
got, of course, Iran and the day of a border. They've been very,
you know, 30% of people in Turkey are Iranian. And there's
a huge proportion of the Turks in Iran, Qatar, who there they
are bailing out the Turkish economy, they just put 15
billion they hate Saudi Arabia. Well, Saudi Arabia hates them,
too. And then Syria. And with this comes Putin and the
Russians. And there's and this is beautiful, because who is the
central switching station for all the pipelines that we've
been looking at? Ah, Turkey. You want to get into into Europe,
you you can go through Turkey with Iranian oil with Russian
oil. And he is he's DS loving this he now and that's why he's
coming up with all kinds of fantastical stories. And there
is a technicality here that I was incorrect about. I thought
that embassy ground And is sovereign territory it's not.
And I've been corrected by many people and there's
while they go bust in and grab Julian Assange, the answer me
that well,
first of all, here's here's here's an interesting rub. The
host country is completely responsible for the safety of
the embassy and anyone in it. So technically, the Turks are
responsible for whatever happened to Khashoggi Jamal
Khashoggi. They cannot enter the embassy without HEAD OF MISSION
permission, which they did receive. So just I'm just saying
that a crime committed that would be acceptable in Saudi
Arabia done in the embassy in Turkey is not although I don't
know what they do in Turkey. They may behead people just not
not as openly as saw the Saudis do. That is punishable by the
laws of the host country. So that's that's just a town we
have. That's just a technicality. Let's let me see.
I'm going to start because a lot of people started coming out and
talking about this. I would say we stick with air to one for a
second. This is France 24.
When made no reference to alleged audio and video
recordings of the murder, which had been mentioned in the
Turkish press, instead putting the onus on the Saudis to
provide answers as to who had ordered the assassination, and
asking that they identify the alleged local collaborator who
said to have disposed of Khashoggi his body. The Turkish
President Trump carefully, saying that he believed King
Salman was sincere when he denied knowledge of the murder,
but making no direct mention of his regional rival, influential
Crown Prince. Turkey expert Dorothy Schmid told France
before that Erdogan speech shows his main concern is this
domestic audience,
showing that he has trust in the in the king himself to put
things in a in a different way with his son to arrange the
power relationship inside the house of Saudis. This is an
internal matter for the Saudis to do so. But what matters for
Edwin more is to show that he's the master in Turkey also, and
that the sovereignty of Turkey has to be respected.
Upping pressure on the kingdom. Erdogan said there would be an
independent Turkish investigation into the incident
that the 18 suspects should be tried in Turkish courts.
So my takeaway from this clip is that air Dhawan is calling for a
form of regime change saying hey, I get along with the king
fine, but you know, this mofo this kid, here he is, this is
he's got to get out of there, which everyone wants because
right now, he is speaking on behalf of Sunni Muslims in all
in the Middle East. I think Trump is a bit on board with
this. Here's a short clip of him,
it was carried out poorly. And the cover up was one of the
worst in the history of cover ups.
He's an expert on cover obviously think it's odd, very
simple.
going bad deal
should have never been thought of somebody really messed up.
And they had the worst cover up ever. And where it should have
stopped, is at the deal standpoint when they thought
about it, because whoever thought of that idea, I think is
in big trouble.
So there's Trump trying to because I'm sure he was really
caught off guard with this. He is trying to deflect and say,
Well, whoever came up with it. That guy's in big trouble, not
the Saudis we shouldn't be blocking that because we got to
MIT this is all dependent upon his his real deals with the
Saudis for petro dollar maintenance, although he wants
it the price of oil to be lower. Also the biggest deal ever that
he wants to complete the Palestine Israel two state
solution. And this got this is so important. There's so off
caught off guard that Jared Kushner came out and did an
interview with of all people Van Jones. On CNN, this is a rare
moment when you hear the cush bird speaking, you're gonna try
to get to the facts. Do you trust the Saudis to investigate
themselves? I
mean, it seems like MBS is like the prime suspect. He's
also the prime investigator. I mean, do you trust the Saudis to
sort this out?
Yeah, like I said, I mean, we're getting facts in from multiple
places. And then once those facts come in, the Secretary of
State will will will work with our national security team to
help us determine what we want to believe and what we think is
credible and what we
help us with what we want to believe think is not credible.
Even Even Trump says there's like deception and lies. I mean,
do you I mean, you. Do you see anything
that that seems deceptive. I see things that are deceptive every
day. I see him in the Middle East. I see him in Washington.
So again, I think that we have our eyes wide open. I think
that, again, the President is focused on what's good for
America. What are our stuff? teaching interests. You know,
where do we share interests with other countries? Let's work
towards those. But yeah, every day we deal with people who are
trying to deceive us in different ways, but our job is
to see through it, but also to stay focused on what's best for
the American people. And the President is fully committed to
doing that.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but he's in trouble because he's
good friends with the MBS. Mr. Bonesaw. back to France. 24.
This is Maria Stackins. Set on his hacker. I do not like this
woman. She's Dutch. She's a member of European Parliament.
She's from the D 66. Party in the Netherlands. The reason I
don't like her well, first of all, the D 66. Party are bunch
of just wishy washy white milk toast, I guess. But she's all
she seems to do. Because I checked the tweeters. She's only
on Twitter all day commenting on Trump and this and just just
spewing, and not even reading articles, just translating the
headlines. This is an outrage crazy. Why do Americans put up
with him? And I go do some business in the European
Parliament? And she is, and she is telling us exactly what's
happening. The continuation of what has been called for in the
US Congress, the Magnitsky Act, she may even reference it
directly here, but if not, it's exactly what they are calling
for. So they can shut off Saudi Arabia, and have their own
little deals with Russia. And with Iranian oil, they've been
working on it for months.
If you look at the irrational behavior and lie after lie after
lie after lie coming from Riyadh over the past couple of weeks,
it is entirely irresponsible to sell war weapons to this
country.
And she's talking about EU selling war weapons, the French
and the Brits big, big discussion about this, not just
our deal, but there's lots of deals, it turns
out, yeah, the guy's got a lot of money, they buy a lot of
stuff. He's authorities.
And I think that it is very good that Chancellor Merkel has taken
the lead. And I would have preferred to see an E wide
embargo, which is something that we have called for in the
European Parliament repeatedly already, especially in the
context of the war in Yemen. So I hope again, we will reach a
turning point here and we'll see more rational behavior. And at
least we will, we will cease to export instability to Saudi
Arabia, and a weapon embargo. But also an embargo on selling
surveillance equipment with which dissidents and journalists
are being tracked and traced in the kingdom is also absolutely
appropriate. And then lastly, we would also call for human rights
sanctions, meaning that those individuals who are responsible
for this brutal murder will be individually held to account
these events. We can see acid freezes, so that there's no more
you know, funtime shopping in Paris, or putting yachts in nice
or children in good European universities, there have to be
consequences for the individuals that are responsible and the
impunity with which violations have been taken place human
rights violations that were serious before this murder for a
very long time. It has to stop
no more shopping trips to Paris. No more yachts in in in French
harbors. I wish I could make fun of her accent but it's actually
pretty good. Can't do it with her. So that's the plan and
Merkel is leading it Merkel best friends with Putin. They were in
East Germany together at the same time. This is not our
friend. And she is really working very hard to effectively
ruin the petro dollar. I think that is the ultimate plan. They
want Iranian oil, anything they can get from Russia and sell it
all to China that love to have it in Euro denomination. And I
think Trump is screwed on this. I do not see how he gets out of
it.
Well NBS has already backpedaling to an extreme heat.
Do you hit Do you have a copy of his speech that he gave the no I
don't have that.
I do have it.
Oh good. Do you have a clip or just a copy of this
is no this is MBS make statement. This is on debt. PBS
ran this over the weekend. Fantastic. Yesterday.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince declared today that the murder
of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was a heinous crime. And he
promised justice Mohammed bin Salmaan addressed an investment
conference in Riyadh. It was his first public statement since the
Saudis acknowledge that Khashoggi was killed at their
consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. And suspicions had been raised
that the prince might have known about the
plot. We know that many are trying to use this painful thing
to drive a wedge between Saudi Arabia and Turkey. This wedge
will not happen. And we will prove to the world that the two
governments are cooperating to see that all perpetrators are
taken to court and justice will be seen in the end.
Yeah, he's gone. I'm going to tell you this guy will be gone.
There'll be a new Crown Prince appointed, he is out. He is out.
He is done. He is gone. He has screwed it up big time. He's
done. He cannot rule anymore. And I don't think I think that
of Merkel and Putin. By the way, sir Jean was away he came back
and he said that he listened to the so called press conference
where Putin was slamming America as at the end of our days the
Empire is dying. And so Jean said axes really complimentary
about Trump. It's not like that at all. If you listen to it in
context, the I haven't gotten a full translation. But he says
it's not it's not surprising. I know.
I know, wrong to the public here.
And of course, we have this little tidbit which if you think
she's she's on a Nancy Drew mission to solve crimes, you got
another thing coming
Gina Haspel. The head of the CIA is in Turkey today to
investigate Khashoggi is killing at the Saudi consulate in
Istanbul and prs. Greg Miry is here to tell us more about that
visit. Welcome, Greg. Hey, so what is hospital's role here?
Well, she's got a very significant role in not only
with her title as head of the CIA, this is a place she knows
really well, we know she speaks Turkish. In a rare speech
recently, she said Istanbul, along with London or two of her
favorite cities in the world. The CIA never says exactly where
somebody spent their undercover days. But she clearly knows this
place. She's a player, she knows how the, the how things take
place there. And remember, the US Turkey and the Saudis are
allies, and they're conducting these sort of separate
investigations. But there's also negotiations going on, this is
probably not likely to end so much in a court room, as is in a
political agreement in some sort of negotiation. So that's the
key thing, I think, to keep watching.
Yeah, I'm sure it's easier just to investigate, really. She's
there to lay down the law and try and set them straight. And I
don't think she has any of the oomph it takes to get anything
done. This is a bonanza. And I really am curious when the
President is going to get serious about it and address it,
because he is losing our shirt in this
deal. Well, he hasn't lost it yet.
Meanwhile, pay no attention to the world implications of what
is going on now? No, this is what you should be watching.
Well, we've been speaking to a number of sources, both very
well placed sources within the investigation and also within
political circles. And they've been telling us separately,
first of all, that Jamal Khashoggi is body parts have
been discovered, they had been cut up. I understand this some
fairly grisly detail about how his face had been disfigured,
somewhat. There is a suggestion,
I think they like they use it as a football and kick that around
from the second source. He is very, very highly placed, as I
say, within political circles. And He has connections within
the prospect prosecutor's office, that those body parts
were discovered in the garden of the console generals, hey, we're
just outside the property. This the Consul General's property
was a part of a focus, a very big focus of the forensic
investigators. They took some time to get in it into it. More
than two weeks later, we ourselves witnessed some of
those forensic investigators examining the garden. We know
that they took soil samples from there and that they were trying
to match DNA samples taken of Jamal Khashoggi with samples
that they collected inside the Consul General's residence.
Where's that rapid DNA technology that should be done
in 20 minutes?
I have yet to prove it. This is the guy is buried in the guy's
yard.
So this apparently the now there are rumors that Gina CIA Gina
that she heard or saw the tape. That's it's all rumors. All of
this is propaganda. However, it just came out the European
resolution regarding the killing of journalist Jamal, Jamal,
Jamal Khashoggi Khashoggi cut gotta hate it.
Let me see Khashoggi Forget it. Okay,
Khashoggi. Here we go. German Chancellor stated that Germany
would put arms exports to Saudi Arabia on hold. So that's the
first one down. And this is one of those resolutions which is
completely mean, we condemn, let's say, condemns the Saudis
authorities ongoing harassment of human rights defenders,
activist lawyers, journalists, clerics writers and bloggers.
How would podcasters EU put podcasters in there? Yeah, both
within and outside the country which undermines the credibility
of the reform process of Saudi Arabia. Let me see, we urge the
EU and member states take strong position at the next Human
Rights Council meeting and blah, blah, blah. This is just and I'm
just reading it on the fly, support strong the initiative to
create an EU global human rights sanctions regime. Okay. The
Dutch authorities will organize that well, no worries there.
calls on the Saudi authorities to immediately and
unconditionally release rife Badawi. So they're asking for
prisoners now smart, smart, they're asking for people to be
released. That's pretty looks like typical. Parliament has no
power. It's just a resolution. Okay. But what Angular Merkel
did, and what Mae is now being asked to do, and Macron is to
stop all arms sales, that's going to be very complicated for
Trump to say, No, we're going to sell on all of our partners, who
are actually our enemies in this.
Well, actually, Canada says they're going to keep selling
stuff, they don't care.
Well, they're not our enemies. They're right up north.
Now, I do have two clips, left. Unfortunately, whatever
duplicate a lot of what you know, that's how I don't I don't
mind. This is but this is from Democracy Now. So it has a slant
that's always amusing. This stuff, some funny Khashoggi
information with Trump and this is the Trump assertion you
already played.
President Trump spoke out Tuesday on journalist Jamal
Khashoggi is murder calling it the worst cover up ever.
They had a very bad, original concept. It was carried out
poorly.
What does that mean? A bad original concept? What does that
mean? Well, I think he saw the draft and he said, This is bad
and just use an
original concept original concept. We're going to kill
this guy. Now. This is another one of those instances that you
played this earlier, at least the same, pretty much the same
one with his arms crossed.
Because he's pissed. He's very angry.
They had a very bad, original concept. It was carried out
poorly. And the cover up was one of the worst in the history of
cover ups. It's very simple. Bad deal should have never been
thought of
bad deal. I mean, you gotta listen with the guy saying deal
for what what was the deal? Was there a deal that someone cut a
deal or what was the tit for tat part of the deal?
Somebody really messed up.
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the US
will revoke the visas of Saudi operatives accused of
participating in Khashoggi scaling, Pompeo went on to
reaffirm the US shared strategic interests of Saudi Arabia
echoing Trump's statements about Saudi Arabia as a strong ally to
the United States. Meanwhile, Turkish investigators have
reportedly found several suitcases a laptop and clothing
that may be linked to the murder in a car belonging to the Saudi
consulate. On Tuesday Sky News reported parts of Khashoggi use
dismembered body were found in the garden of the Saudi consul
generals stumble home the reports remain unconfirmed.
Yeah, we just heard that report and it was very sketchy. Now
this presents it kind of as Oh parts were fine, but need some
confirmation.
Yeah, she's terrible, but which I'll prove later. This is the
part two which has some information we didn't get.
This comes as a Reuters report and to Saud Al Qahtani, top aide
for Mohammed bin Salman the Crown Prince claims he directed
keystroke She's killing remotely via Skype, instructing those and
carrying out because show she's interrogation quote, bring me
the head of the dog. Meanwhile, in Riyadh, the Saudi royal
family met with Jamal Khashoggi, his family, including his son
releasing photos of the highly publicized event to the press.
Salah Khashoggi appeared visibly strained as he shook the Crown
Prince's hand. Jamal Khashoggi these children are banned from
leaving Saudi Arabia now
who was it that apparently on Skype said bring these bring me
the dog's head?
One of these what like the sergeant at arms or some one of
the one of the assistants for one of the military assistance
or that guy is going to keep his service? Here's what I think I
don't think this guy MBS is going to go away the way you do.
I'm going to say that I think he's going to stick around
because they really don't have anybody else that can run the
country. But he what he has to do, he's going to have to grab
all 15 of those guys who came in on the plane. Find them guilty
of a rebel, a rogue plot has been the guy find the guy who
said well, it was they beat him up and he died during the fight
that guy yeah, they find him They're gonna line them all up
and either shoot them or hang them all or chop their heads off
something that he's gonna say this is the this was on this is
nothing I wanted and he's gonna go on and on like that and he's
gonna stick around he's gonna have a bunch of dead guys gonna
line these guys up well if I supposed to do I found all these
rogue guys
that would be that would be the strategy I don't think it's
going to work and I'm happy with having a different opinion I
let's put it this way. If he stays on then maybe we'll be
okay if he's if there is a quote unquote regime change and he's
replaced or removed. They're the ones takes we already have no
power in Syria. This is a complete turn of global events.
I just the way I see it, and it's I don't see anyone taking
this seriously anywhere.
Well, I think that some people are taking this seriously, you
wouldn't have Gina?
Oh, yeah, no, I mean, yeah, but I'm talking about media like M
five M.
O the media as it is we're looking for some antitrust, they
don't care. They've given us nothing. They stink. That's why
we're doing this show. That's why we have 11 years and none of
this show. Because all we do is point out I mean, the real point
of the show is we're not Trump apologist. We just point out
that the media is not doing its job. They just they have an
agenda that somebody has to and I don't know you know for sure
who's behind the agenda but somebody and they just pounding
the pavement for the same I mean, you played that clip
earlier that MSNBC clip with this lunatic Nicole Wallace. I
mean, it was it was embarrassing. Yeah, this is
nothing news about let me play the two clips I have
Well Wait, are we are we done with the I don't know. I shocky.
To sign noise to be a little loud remix plays.
That's able Kirby. He says I was drunk when I did it.
Put a little more saw noise in there. guy screaming with the
song going on his birthday. I love the show. We have a
dominant play some stuff that is just filled with propaganda and
it's it's shameful Democracy Now Amy Goodman is really an
embarrassment. This is the this is this the lashed out clip. Now
she doesn't say Trump said this. Some Trump said that. She uses
the term she likes to use these these loaded terms lashed out I
collect them because she says it all the time. Trump lashed out.
President Trump sorry. I'm sure you could play the activity we
would have part two
President Trump lashed out again Tuesday at the Central American
migrant caravan making its way across Mexico toward the US
border claiming Middle Eastern terrorists had infiltrated the
group press by REPORTER Trump admitted he had no proof to back
his claim.
They say happens all the time from the Middle East with us not
even saying bad or good. But some real bad ones. But they
intercept they could very well be that there's no there's no
proof of anything. There's no proof of anything. But they
could very well be.
There's no proof of anything the President said.
Okay, so he said it twice. And she reiterated to make it clear.
I don't know what the point of that was. No, but it was just it
was kind of an offhanded. He said he said he didn't have any
proof but he said it anyway. I guess I'm not sure what she was
getting at. But this next clip, which is the continuation she
used, she uses some loaded language here that I have to
call I have to point out so people will understand when they
hear this word, they will pay attention.
Vice President Mike Pence claimed Honduran President Juan
Orlando Hernandez had spoken to him about the caravan
told me that the caravan that's now making its way through
Mexico headed for the southern border was organized by leftist
organizations and financed by Venezuela.
No, no if you caught the word, but the word is at the beginning
and the word was claimed claimed Of course, instead of saying
Mike Pence said,
oh, yeah, he claimed that mean automatically meaning it's not
true.
The bright the subtext of the word claimed is always the guy's
a liar. So they're trying to now this is subtle, because this few
are noticing this, but there isn't a lot of people like Amy
and other so called progressives that think Trump has gone they
think the Democrats are going to win the house and that Trump is
gonna get impeached
and then Pence will be president. But they gotta
get rid of they gotta have to start taking aim at pence
because Pence is worse and they got to impeach him to that's
what Maxine Waters says. We're gonna pants will impeach him to
Yeah, so what? So they they're not going to impeach being an
old white man. They're not going to impeach Trump because he's
too much of a foil that they give a whole long list. Let's
just set something straight. So everyone understands this.
impeachment is a political process. It does not remove the
president from office. It's it's basically Congress saying, we
don't trust you. You're a douche. You're impeached. It
doesn't remove him from office. The only way they can do that is
if they have three quarters of the Senate which never happened
which will never happen US history. And then the idiot
Republicans are like yeah, that's great. impeach him then
Pence is president he can he can appoint Trump as his vice
president then resign then Trump is president again? Hey,
I never heard of It's funny though. Now let's go back to
this what Amy's doing she uses the word claimed and people
should look out for this word when it comes up the proper word
in the journalist extent is says you don't you never use claims
right unless you're trying to twist the meaning of the you're
trying to load it up to make it sound as though the guy's lying.
And and and there's no evidence that passes even if Fibber let
alone have liar, but but keep an eye on that when I hear this
sort of thing. I really galls me because these people are on TV.
They're you know and there's a lot of progressives that listen
they missed the word, but it goes right into your
subconscious that the guy pants claims that he had a discussion
with the guy what he didn't have a discussion with the guy if you
think that prove he didn't have a discussion with the guy, go
contact the Honduras guy and ask him if he talked to pens. And if
he says no, I never heard of the guy there. You got a story. You
got something. But no, just by using the word claims that
cheap. Tao is a dirty, cheap muddy trick and it's disgusting.
And I'm going to show
my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun

running outside leaving treats unattended. I digress. Please

all these folks for supporting us in the 11th anniversary show
and source are these people who helped produce the show along
with a lot of people that gave 4999 and less 33 and all the
rest, which of course are kept anonymous. Yeah. Also
a lot of rule Yes, by rule, and a lot of people congratulated us
at the 1111 level as well. $11.11. Yes, you know, we got
some astral travel and DMT wishes, all kinds of good stuff
under the 50 level, but we keep those. We do not mention them,
as John said mainly mainly for anonymity. Because that's where
you go, if you don't want to be mentioned on the show. And yeah,
the subscriptions, keep those going. And thank you, thank
everybody for 11 years. It's a value for value concept. I
remember fondly. I think it was when did we start asking for
your really start the value for value model was that the second
year first year? I think it was started early on,
I'd say it was late in Earnest. Earnest I think I read earnest
it was it was always kinda it was always in earnest. It wasn't
it with any,
we hadn't developed
value models. That was the problem we had, we hadn't
figured
out what the value for value network and how the model works.
We're creating that on the fly. I remember I was in New York on
a business trip. And you said, Hey, I think this is working
people actually like it. And they're supporting it. And I
think that's when I said, Okay, let's let's do this full time. I
think that's when I ate my airplane.
I believe your history or it's good story.
What do you mean new history? Yeah, the eating the airplane?
No, the eating the airplane was true. Because we weren't doing
that. Well isn't really, you know,
it took years it took years?
Well, yeah, it took probably two years. You ate the airplane for
a lot of different reasons. You're also slightly paranoid at
the time.
No, I had I didn't have the money I had left to me. VO was
living in Los Angeles. They were paying for health care. That's
all I was getting from them. Yeah. So I hate the airline.
That lesson. It was tasty. Flaps, not so much.
No, the flaps are always no, you know, you should you have to
really sauce those up. And the
point is, this is a network where everybody can get out and
you should get be getting more out of it than you put into it.
So it could be just the pleasure of listening to the show. Having
meeting other people with our meetups, but also doing
collaborating online. There's so many different websites and
services micro services that people have set up from the Art
Generator to any of this so what is the government what is the
the main list I keep forgetting what it is it's the Gitmo list,
things to call the Gitmo list. And no agenda Gitmo list if you
find that you'll see links to the book club and there's all
kinds of stuff. And I'm really proud of what everyone has put
together and really appreciate it and I look forward to as long
as you know another 11 year sure we'll go as long as as we
physically can, I guess and
probably another 11 years before you ever do your Austin meetup.

Snow more personalized this way guess. Hey, there was Steve
Steve. Tim Collins
from Apple. Now Tom cook. He was in in Brussels on a very stupid
day actually. He was there to talk about privacy and and the
Internet and privacy and privacy. And it was a very
stupid day for him to be there because all of the you know they
have the the European Parliament in Brussels and they have the
other one in Strasbourg right? They've been moving back and
forth right so he went to Brussels while everybody was
voting in Strasbourg and someone needs to get fired.
Do some research area you went to does assistant did really
stupid. I pulled the clip please talk to an empty hall.
Now there was a probably about 300 people there if that now,
bless I say maybe 150 It was very pathetic. His message was
clear. And I liked what he said and it sounded like a man who
was very frustrated with what is being done with his product as
well. He had some good zingers in there. I clipped about two
minutes up and I'd like to share
that desire to put profits over privacy is nothing new, as far
back as 18 Anglo Google's your Supreme Court Justice Louis
Brandeis published an article in the Harvard Law Review, making
the case for a right to privacy in the United States. He warned,
gossip is no longer the resource of the idle and of the vicious,
but has become a trade. Today that trade has exploded into a
data industrial complex. Our own information from the everyday to
the deeply personal is being weaponized against us with
military efficiency. Every day, billions of dollars change hands
and countless decisions are made on the basis of our likes and
dislikes, our friends and families, our relationships and
conversations, our wishes, and fears, our hopes, and dreams.
These scraps of data, each one harmless enough on its own, are
carefully assembled, synthesized, traded and sold.
Taken to its extreme. This process creates an enduring
digital profile, and lets companies know you better than
you may know yourself. Your profile is then run through
algorithms that serve up increasingly extreme content.
Pounding our harmless preferences pounding into
hardened convictions, your comms green is your favorite color,
you may find yourself reading a lot of articles, or watching a
lot of videos about the insidious threat from people who
like orange in the news, almost every day, as good bear witness
to the harmful, even deadly effects of these narrowed
worldviews. We shouldn't sugarcoat the consequences. This
is surveillance. And these stockpiles of personal data
serve only to enrich the companies that collect them.
Now, that first I need to mention that was twice as long I
cut out every pause that he puts in his speech, this guy needs a
kick in the pants. Like stop, talk king like this. Boring?
Well,
when it's edited, I like that it sounds very free flowing and
professional, I
must be 20 edits, just chopping out silence everywhere. So of
course, he is is advocating for what I've been saying a long
time is you need to go OTG. And the main thing you can do to
save yourself from this tracking is remove location based
tracking from your life. And I'm not talking about the cell
company being able to track my little sorry, Nokia, e 71.
Because of course they can do that. But everything else inside
your phone, which is what he's so a PC, I think he sees the
writing on the wall, like people are going to start giving this
up. We see more and more of these hates a weekend thing,
take this phone just as text and he's seeing his product being
abused. But of course it's meant to be abused. That's what it is.
He's got an abusive product with his mobile devices. And I do
like the data industrial complex I although I think data is the
new bacon is better, but it's a little scarier that way. And
just to fold into a quick OTG a couple headlines. Amazon's
Alexa, has they filed a patent. And the patent specifically
states that the Alexa spy device in your house, if it hears you
coughing or sniffling, it may be able to sell you some ads for
what is ailing you. And they filed a patent for that. I guess
that was necessary. This was a pretty interesting story about
this. And I've seen this this was actually at HEB. And I
looked I remember looking at it once I need to pick up a
thermometer and Tina and I moved in together and we didn't have
one. For some reason. I don't know we do have a thermometer
amongst us. So there's the this connected thermometer. Turns out
the connected thermometer was licensing information. This is
Kinsa is the name of the connected thermometer company to
pharmaceutical companies with zip codes and temperatures that
people had around the country so that they could target their
advertising by Oh, looks like we got.
I'm wondering why anyone? Anyone would buy a connected
thermometer,
because you get an app with it. And then they think Oh, it's
great. I can track the progress of my fever. I don't know people
are idiots. So you get that but in the meantime, the app itself
is just backdooring stuff to pharmaceuticals, to sell you
stuff and target you with ads. Now it turns out, this is a
great one General Motors. According to the Detroit Free
Press, their radio tracking program monitor the listening
habits of 90,000 drivers in Los Angeles in Chicago, for three
months in late 2017, GM captured details such as station
selection, volume level, zip codes of vehicle owners use the
cars built in Wi Fi signal to upload the data to its servers.
This is insane.
And they and they're selling that they sell the data to
Nielsen,
or they're selling it to, to the radio networks themselves. And
then what else ahead Oh, and see what else that I have? A couple
other stories also this? I don't have it. Of course, I don't have
an app phone. But the new Google News for Android is going wild
on data. People are seeing up to 21 gigs of data transferred from
the Google News app. Who knows what it's doing? This is not
good. This is all bad stuff.
It's great man. Oh, my I get advertising that's custom made
for me. I need I would like I like the idea that I get an ad
that's relevant is relevant, relevant, relevant, relevant to
me, relevant, relevant. So our Canada Navion brothers and
sisters just got a raw deal. Up there up north. As there there
were four provinces who voted against a carbon tax, of course,
why would you want to? Why would you want to be taxed for
something that comes out here? Although
she mentioned that in the Washington state ballot, there's
a carbon tax initiative on there. And according to Mimi,
who's involved in the politics is all for it. And apparently,
the argument of the old ladies is well, yeah, it's not that
great, but at least it's something
so, so they've done something. Trudeau has done something very
interesting. And I'm sure we'll get lots of notes from our
Canada Navion producers. So these four major provinces said
no, we're not going to do carbon tax. So Trudeau just created a
federal carbon tax, but he's trying to sell it well listen to
how he's trying to sell it.
In Toronto. Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau laid out
the details of his government's carbon tax plan, including
rebates as he tries to sell Canadians on the need to pay for
pollution. without breaking the bank will take you to Ottawa
now, Michelle, boy,
notice the use of pollution pollution, it's not pollution
wheeling
the story for us. So Michelle, tell us a little bit more about
the plan anyway, and how much money he's talking about in
terms of giving back to Canadians.
Yeah, April, that is when this plan comes into effect for large
polluters as well as you when you go to fill up your your gas
tank or when you turn on the heat. It's going to cost
Canadians more, but the federal government is coming up with a
plan to make sure that you get most, if not all, or more of the
money back. We're talking about rebates from $259, all the way
up to $609 per year, and that those numbers balloon as we go
down the road to 2022. That's because the cost on carbon the
price on carbon will be going from 20 up to $50. a tonne.
Justin Trudeau says Listen, this is the only way
pay by the way. That's 50 Canadian dollars. Now, the price
of carbon we've known for a long time, it has been pegged by the
globalists at 50 US dollars. So to say you're gonna raise it to
50 Canadian dollars. Ah, it's got to be a little higher than
that.
Up to $50 a tonne. Justin Trudeau says Listen, this is the
only way that that Canada will reduce its its carbon footprint
will reduce its emissions. And he says that he's helping
Canadians adjust to the new norm by giving them the money back.
It's completely
idiotic. He's saying we're gonna have a carbon tax, and it'll be
on all fossil fuels. And so that will be at the gas pump and your
electricity is all going to be taxed. But we're going to give
you a credit back based on what we think that increase will be.
And he's positioning it as Don't worry, you just get the money
back. And then somehow that's going to reduce climate change.
This is insane. As you can say, I
know what the Canadians must be thinking this guy's an idiot.
This should be a revolution about this a revolt. Yeah. about
voting that idiot out of office.
Oh my goodness.
He's like a 12 year old running the place and people bitch about
Trump. I got a cool little operation which is you're
talking about Detroit. I do have a thing here. This is kind of
interesting. This I believe I first I heard so that's
interesting. Apparently Alexis is the best car you can buy.
Everyone knows that. But the way they present this this fac
Consumer Reports thing on CBS. I think that CBS is pulling out
native ads on us in ways that are that I have not been able to
pick up on the ABCs really easy is that this always at the same
time of the show is right there. And it's pretty it sounds like a
native ad. It looks like a native ad this one actually
actually I had to. I pull it out just as kind of a joke clip. And
then I listened to it. So this is a native ad and I wasn't
catching it. I think CBS is doing native advertising on
their news hour with Jeff Glor more than we think
Jonathan Linn Cove test cars for a living. He's in the driver's
seat for Consumer Reports determining which automakers are
the most reliable and how critical is reliability when it
comes to an automakers long term success or a model
success. Reliability is the key thing that's going to keep a
customer coming back.
Consumer Reports annual reliability survey collected
data on everything from the engine and transmission to the
doors and electronics 29. automakers were ranked and US
companies didn't fare well. Ford was the top American brand. At
number 18. Asian manufacturers did the best. Toyota came in
second and Lexus, which is owned by Toyota took the number one
spot, we took a spin in a Lexus RX 350
consistently Toyota and Lexus have been our top two brands and
our brand report card
problems with infotainment systems tripped up other
automakers, including Volvo, which landed at the bottom of
the
list. Their large infotainment system has caused problems. It's
crashed, it's hung. It's had a reset on owners.
Tesla dropped six spots to 27. This year.
If you look at the G wiz factor, it's got what they Okay.
Lin Cove had problems getting the wing doors to open on the
Model X SUV, which scored poorly.
That's a big problem that we've seen. They're not always
working. They're not latching, they're not opening up all the
way. Lynn Cove
says reliability is just one consideration when purchasing a
new car performance and price should also factor into the
final decision. KENNETH Craig, CBS News, Colchester
Connecticut.
So let me try and deconstruct it. The way the ad buy goes is
Consumer Reports, which is a non commercial entity, is they do a
report, they have the car up in the position that the Lexus
wants it, and then they buy the CBS analysis of the report.
You think you think it's that way? Because I would think it's
the it's different. Okay. I would think that the CBS sales
guys, and this deal could be
by the way to wear brown shoes.
And brown shoes don't make it.
brown shoe sales guys always brown shoes.
So he's got your brown shirt sales guy, he's got to conserve
because they're always having these meetings. I know people
that are professional, high end salespeople. And they're always
having these meetings. They were how are we going to? Yeah, can
we leverage this into that? How can we get these guys on board
for a big buy? And I would think it go this way I could be wrong,
but because of any number of ways it could happen. You got to
look at the Consumer Report thing is got Lexus and Taurus,
the same company? Can we sell them? We're not going to do a
story on this. Are we Jeff? Nah, who's going to do a story on
that as stupid? Okay, let's go to let's go to Lexus and see if
we can sell that we'll do a story highlighting the Consumer
Reports article. And we'll mention them like lots and drive
their car.
It's similar. Yeah,
I think that would be the way to sell it. Lexus. Toyota is very
aggressive at advertising. And they say yeah, sounds great. Can
you also mention that Volvo is like the lousiest one on this
list and then the Tet yet because the two cars they
slammed by the way, but Tesla specifically stat slammed was
not just any old Tesla it was the Tesla SUV and the Volvo they
slammed was a Volvo SUV and the car they drove around in was a
Lexus SUV. Yeah. And you're surprised not surprised. I'm
surprised I haven't caught this earlier. I know the SP doing
this Bradstone Hey, I haven't
I caught something that just want and I'd have a couple of
funny hate Trump clips. Just to end on a high note. We've been
looking at the Congo, the DRC Democratic Republic of Congo.
What is going on there? Why Do we have why or why are people
being sent there? Why do we have all kinds of stuff going on? For
some reason I follow tanker trackers.com
Where's our hit economic hitman,
well check this out. So tanker truck I got into this when I got
into aprs and you know the the ham radio beaconing systems
although aprs is for much more than beaconing so you have the
AI s and you can track ships. And so tanker trackers.com
posted this one of the posts this was earlier this month. So
here it is a first 850,000 barrels of crude oil arrived in
ash Ashkelon. That's Israel this morning from Gino Congo. We have
never seen Congo as a source of oil for Israel before but we
have seen a couple of shipments come in from West Africa during
the summer. And how about that 850,000 Barrels is a good start.
It's a good medium sized tanker
so they're taking that from an Israel's buying this.
So cargoes landlocked if I'm not mistaken, how are they getting
it to the to the poor?
Taking it down? Or this picture here actually did take down too?
Well, no, that's not true. They will tell you they have to go to
Gabon. I was it. Can't see it here. It's from the West Coast.
And they go all the way around the top of Africa through the
Straits of Gibraltar, through the Mediterranean to get to
Israel, circumventing, of course. The Djibouti there's the
aid and golf and we're all that crap has gone down. So they are
they're going so that is just a probably a less dangerous route
for them. I don't know about pirates. But they're Yeah,
they're taking it right through. Yeah, right off the southwest
coast. And they're going all the way around the top.
I didn't know. So Congo is an oil producer. Apparently. We got
to look into this.
Well, I brought it up as a as a mention as hey, this is where we
need to face. Yes. And we both know that send lots of people
there to help with I don't know the transport of the oil to the
coast. Who knows?
To get it out of there before the oil catches Ebola.
All right, couple media clips to hate Trump. This was a story new
story you heard about when it comes to
eggs. Oops, not that one afternoon. A Florida man is
facing federal charges accused of groping a woman on a flight
to Albuquerque. As he was being arrested. He had something
interesting to say about the President. Mr. Team's Rachel
Knapp is live in the news Plex with the story.
Kim, an FBI agent says as Bruce Alexander was sitting in the
back of his police car, he told them quote, the President of the
United States says it's okay to grab women by their private
parts.
That was a great news story. sounds totally legit. Here we
have the lair Hollywood foundation at work in the Super
Girl television show. This is for children. And let me see
this is season three, I believe you are in season three. This is
so super girl. And this is a in the in the cartoon. This is the
spokesperson for the President of the United States of America.
And the President is a woman. And here's what the spokesperson
said the Sarah Huckabee Sanders of the future in Super Girl
world when the President is female.
Okay, Carl, this President most don't believe climate change is
real. Yes. Yes, Carl. As a matter of fact, she does. She
also believes that two plus two equals four and that the Earth
is round because the President is not a moron. Any third grader
knows that global warming is the biggest threat of our time. And
I'm happy to report that the intellectual capacity of our
president is not inferior to that of an eight year old. Next
question.
It's reverse. It's a great way to program the
children. That is disgusting. Isn't that fantastic? I'll give
you a clip of the day for that one.
You know and I have to say when I heard it, and I didn't find it
myself one of our producers that I said it's a candidate Thank
you very much.
Thanks to the producer have found that wow, that is a piece
of crap. If I've ever heard a propaganda stick it makes my the
analysis of damy Goodman look like lightweights.
Do it. Let's play it again. Just so we can revel in it.
Okay, Carl, is President Marsden believe climate change is real?
Yes. Yes, Carl. As a matter of fact, she does. She also
believes that two plus two equals four and that the Earth
is round because the President is not a moron. Any third grader
knows that global warming is the biggest threat of our time. And
I'm happy to report that the intellectual capacity of our
president is not inferior to that of an eight year old.
Next You will obey.
Oh man, I love that. Then, although I'm not pulling the
clip that everyone showed, Rosie O'Donnell was on MSNBC on the
hate fest with Nicole Wallace. And I pulled two clips, just to
let you know where her heads at. And you have to understand that
in this interview, she was very affected by the election of
President Trump. She couldn't go out in public. First she said
she got physically ill she puked when when he became president,
and she couldn't go out in the public for over a year. Now
she's marrying a 32 year old woman who looks like an
Instagram wife if I've ever seen one. But she's still filled with
a lot of hate and misinformation that
not only thought that it was strategically smart to go after
the adult film star stormy Daniels in such a visceral way,
he workshop the insult prior to tweeting it well before Trump
mocked Daniel's physical appearance he trial balloon to
the horse face dig privately among White House aides, close
friends and acquaintances. One source close to Trump even
recalled him saying in passing that bleeping horse face Steve
rosy Eugene are still here. I read these things, and I'm
shocked but I'm guessing you are not.
I'm not shocked. No, he'll do anything and everything to get
what he wants, and women are of no value to him and his life a
world the only one who has I think is his daughter. That said
the rest of the women in the world are useless as the
immigrants that he says are coming from, you know, Honduras
to take us in caravans watch out for the caravan. There are
people walking away from certain death and third world countries
right? The man doesn't care at all. So what he did to stormy
Daniels was horrific. What he did to me was horrific. But I
expected when that was happening, the National
Organization of Women or something would come out and say
you can't do this. You're not just allowed to pick a woman
light and you know, debase her with impunity. But he is he is
and he gets laughs for it. And it's like a bad stand up comedy.
Well, she's right about that about the stand up comedy. But
do we have that in the rotation? He hates women? I didn't know he
hated women. Well, I don't think it's a rotation. I don't think
now she makes
no misogynist is hating women. The rotation? Yes, it is by
definition. misogynist, you guys women.
This is okay, here. This is something another assertion she
makes which I found interesting.
I want to ask you because this question goes around around
questions of race. We talked about this after Charlottesville
that now the K K K. You've talked about this, the K K K
members don't wear sheets over their face that the Trump
effect.
I just want understand what Nicole Wallace is saying here.
She's saying that Trump is so racist. He's such a white
nationalist. The Trump Effect has now brought it to this
moment in time where Ku Klux Klan members feel so emboldened,
they're not wearing the sheets anymore. This is a this is very
interesting. Because we keh keh keh members were easy to
identify. You could see the Guiding Light of the burning
cross and they were all there in their white hoods in their
sheets. Now she's saying the Klan exists and they're
everywhere. You can't see him because they've been emboldened
by the Trump effect. They don't wearing the sheets anymore. I
get it. This is really rude. I like I like it as a concept.
Yeah,
the K K K. You've talked about this. The K K K members don't
wear sheets over their face that Trump is out of the closet with
their misogyny. They're out of the closet with a racist.
Nice that she's saying out of the closet in front of Rosie.
Do you see that? I mean, I see that is potentially the most
corrosive impact.
Yes, I think it's really true. I was in the street the other day
some guy saw me with my new haircut and goes hey, you you
look like a dike
must have been a kk k member.
I was like, What's in my face? The same thing, the coarsening
of the writer in my whole career.
People trashed you behind your back. You know, nobody would
ever come
up to you and say something to your face. Right. But the
culture now is such that this is what's happened.
Yes. And that's the online Twitter culture. That's you're
right, that she's right about that. People would never say
that to your face. Although I you know, and what's it got to
do with Trump? Nothing. It's the Trump effect. It's the Trump
effect. People have no scruples, they're mean, they're rude. They
say horrible things to your face. Whereas Rosie O'Donnell,
who I helped with her career, as she auditioned for VH one, she
was doing rascals in New Jersey, at the comp the rascals Comedy
Club. That was a level of where she was well by it's not too
bad, by the way, but still was rascals and he wasn't on the on
the national stage. And Steve Leeds had brought her in and did
a you know, I did a segment with her and that was part of her
audition. And then I went to rascals to see your stand up and
she slammed me. And she's like, Oh, Adam Curry's here. The guy
who has Mattel stamped on his ass.
Oh, what is that supposed to mean?
She felt that looked like a Malibu Canyon or something. I
don't know.
But I should do that for you said Yeah, help. Yeah, yeah,
that
was the day I stopped liking her bag. This
is a she's a
douche champ. But it does bring me to my final clip. Remember, I
was saying that it seems like language like people are saying
things more like they're the thing that really got into
television was shithole nation. And that's still repeated, but
there's a lot of fuck going on. You know, Robert De Niro. Fuck
this. Fuck Trump. Kathy Griffin fact Trump mugs, everyone's f, f
f, f f f everything.
Yeah, like was it just a podcasting influence?
No, I think it's a barrier that people have broken through. And
we,
back in Berkeley in the olden days during the free speech
movement, near its narrative as it was waning, and they were
going to other things. There was a moment that was called the
filthy Speech Movement. And old timers remember that I had never
heard of this. No, yeah, it's not. It's not as well
documented. But I think you can find articles about it. And it
was this because free speech was FSM. And so you could use the
same signage was a Berman method of conserving resources. So you
can still use FSM signage for the filthy speech movement, and
it consisted of a lot of public cursing. And it was we don't
need to be told what to say or how to say it. And I think
that's really the moment where they were using the, you know,
saying fog or anything, pretty much we're just sounding
uneducated became a thing of the educated class, the, the elites,
the liberals, they all became they all became potty mouths,
really, as it were. Ah, yeah, we went on for about three or four
years until it kind of died off to well, it's filthy speech
movement, you can check
I will look that up. It's, well, it's creeping into our
advertising. I've cut this down. This was a whistle. This was a
minute and a half from a 90 a 92nd. Commercial. And this is
from the well, I'm sure the egg Council has something to do with
it. This is well just listen to it and the bleeps are in the
commercial.
When it comes to eggs. There's a whole lot of cluck, and that
doesn't really mean much of anything. Other farms boast
about being caged free. Well, here at Vital farms, our pasture
raised eggs are both free. How do we keep the bull away from
our eggs? It's simple. We give our hand some space. A lot of
our ladies, they're raised in an actual pasture in the sunshine.
Here at Vital farms, we care that our hands get to be hands
and do him like whatever that is, and laying nutritious eggs
that are naturally free. But you don't have to take my word for
it. cage free.
I've been eating up that
was beers. I did that with my loved ones.
But with vital farms. My recipes are more popular than ever.
When restaurants are as vital farms eggs, it makes the hands
happy and it makes my girls happy. Because brunch is too
short for both. Right Alison?
Serious chefs have been used Vida farms eggs for years
because the reality of cage free is so hard my friends. Connery.
Y'all know what that means?
I don't know a lot about French but I know a lot about pasture
raised and how it gives him space and sunshine. Unlike cage
free because when you crack into a vital farms egg, we want you
to be absolutely confident that what you're eating is 100% both
free How can this how can this be it's not like we don't know
what they're saying.
I think is a tasteless ad. Yes, probably their eggs are
tasteless too to be honest.
You're probably right. Bullshit eggs. Exactly. Alright, well.
I'd like to wrap up this 11th anniversary episode if you if
you want to play us out with something I give you. Do I have
anything good? I don't know. I for 11 years I've never listened
to your clips when you sent them in. I only hear them on the
show. I have no idea where you are silly.
I got a Feinstein. Oh, well. Yeah, let's play this. This is
from 1994 This is diet. This is going around the net right now.
Okay, so I'm sure this is Dianne Feinstein going on and on about
border enforcement have
to concentrate on saying the people who should be here are
those who come legally at this time. And we've got to for the
time being enforce our borders. Today when America the welfare
system for a Mexican Joe is gone. We simply can't afford it.
And I think you've seen the figures to state and local
governments of what the cost is. It's over $2 billion. I think we
should enforce our borders to have a situation where 40% of
the babies born on Medicaid in California today are born of
illegal immigrants creates a very real problem for the state,
which is in deficit but of course, the boring finish I
agree with 17% of our prison population at a cost of 300
million a year the illegal immigrants who come here and
commit felonies that's not what this nation it's very simple.
They've been enforced our border Yes.
My how their tune changes when the color orange comes into
play.
Orange Man bad Orange Man bad dot exe.
