Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang,
Adam curry Jhansi Devorah and
Sunday December 2 2018. This is your award winning get donation
media assassination episode 1091.
This is no agenda,
freezing my butt off and broadcasting live from the home
of the Jackson Five here in downtown Gary, Indiana from the
every room as a mini street Hotel. Good morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry and from
Northern Silicon Valley where he's freezing his butt off and
they've banned the song. I'm John Cena.
Raglan buzzkill
Rao nice play off of that door EQ
Thank you.
It's cold out suddenly. That's right. It's a band everywhere
now the song? Yeah,
it's gotta be.
We determined this was a creepy song a long time ago. So it's
yeah, it's like okay, or Oh, perfect.
We made it.
Very happy about that. So here I am in pretty much Gary, Indiana.
John. Bringing you the show live once again. live that far away
from downtown. Gary, Indiana. You are in Gary, Indiana. Yes,
Gary.
We say it's Gary. Was it Gary? Gary, Indiana.
I don't care what they say. But that's a long ways away from
where
from Texas? Yeah.
Really? I've been further.
Crappy area. What are you doing there? Well,
we are here for Tina's sister's Celebration of Life a memorial
which took place last night.
She lives in Geary
as she passed away, John, if you remember.
Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. She lived in Gary.
Close enough. Yeah. So it's not easy to find. You know? Well,
actually, this is one of those hotels, you know, every room has
a Mini Suite. You have you have a little kitchenette. You know
what I'm talking about? You have a little kitchenette? Oh, yeah.
Yeah. And interestingly, you know, I'm pretty much outfitted
for every scenario
way before you go on. I should measure the debt room here.
There are many sweet, it's got a little kitchen, little front
room bedroom. Correct. That goes for a million in San Francisco.
And then you still have to share it with two people. Yeah, you're
absolutely right. But I'm ready for almost every single
situation in in hotel rooms. I've got although the Wi Fi is
outstanding, so far knock on wood, the only thing that I that
crops up from time to time. Now I have my mic stand. And I have
a foot for the mic stand, which is a clamp that you clamp onto
the table. When you have these tables that have just a little
edge and doesn't have enough really to clamp. No place that
clamp no place does not typically these these desks have
a drawer, and I can pull the drawer out and then clamp it.
But this one just could fall off at any moment. Just hoping it
stays on. Mo Yang. Yeah, exactly. So yeah. And was very
interesting. That at the at this memorial last night, there
probably and it was fun, you know, as for her sisters wishes,
and you wanted pizza tacos and Miller Lite served. And and her
playlist of her songs. And it was really nice. And then
someone came up and gave me a hearty in the morning. Oh,
that's nice. Yes. And I think
he or she says it was hearty. Yes.
I think key or the guy who hit him in the mouth donated for
today. So we'll get to that later was just it was one of
those like, oh, wow,
go expected that.
We have a few listeners in the Chicago metro area.
Yeah. Well, this is not exactly Chicago. Chicago Metro. Yeah. A
little further. Yeah. But anyways, so it's good. I'm ready
to do a show. And I'm was kind of glad that, you know, may
sound horrible. I'm kind of glad that the old Bush passed away
because Ha, at least I wasn't going to miss any news. Because
that was it. News was done. It's like every channel we knew it.
We're just waiting for this 20 and perfect in the weekend to
you know, this is exactly what you want. You don't want it
happening during the week, you know? Oh, yeah, it was a little.
It was a little complicated because you had the G 20 going
on but okay, everyone's just rolling out all their George
Bush retrospective and there's very little mention of you know,
the pardoning he did you know to get if Iran Contra, all the
horrible stuff he was involved in. There's no mention of that
hagiography after hagiography on all channels,
no matter what they did. They mentioned his involvement in the
Kennedy assassination. Well,
no Oh, the only thing he would do why that is He's weird. He's,
of course, the only man in America of that age who cannot
remember where he was on the day that Kennedy was assassinated?
No, he says he doesn't remember because he knows where he was.
He says he can't remember. Correct,
correct? Correct. Correct.
So where to start Java? Because there's a lot going on with the
G two. Oh, g 20. We've got, oh, you know what? I know, I'm gonna
start. So I want to clear up some confusion from our last
show, which carried over onto the social nets. I just want
those nets. Just want to make sure we're all on board here. So
I played a clip on the last show, which I think you
appropriately said, This sounds like it's the onion This can't
be true. And you were both wrong and both right at the same time,
and was the clip and I now have the full expanded clip. This is
a European Parliament member, actually of the I think he's of
the the feared builders PVV party. So he is he is not
gleefully exclaiming this he is extrapolating, and he is making
some assumptions to the press about the compact on migration,
which is due to be signed on December 10. And the everything
that goes along with that. And this is also known as the
Marrakesh agreement, I'll replay the clip, the longer version of
it, so we get full context. And then we'll just discuss what's
really going on here,
please just suppress your guests. It's nice to have you
here on our struck a press conference. And I'd like to say
some words on the Global Compact on migration. On the 10th and
11th. of December, there'll be an international congress in
Marrakech, Morocco, with regard to this global compact on
migration, and the participating countries are set to sign this
agreement. And although this joint agreement isn't binding,
it's still meant to be the legal framework on which the
participating countries commit themselves to build new
legislation. And one basic element of this new agreement is
the extension of the definition of hate speech. The agreement
want to criminalize migration speech, criticism of migration
will become a criminal offense and media outlets. And that also
concerns you that give room to criticism of migration can be
shut down. The complex for migration is legalization of
mass migration.
All right. So that was kind of in in context. And he's
extrapolating what's in this agreement. And I have a version
of this from a member of the What is this, the UK actually a
member of the European Parliament from the movement for
Europe of nations and freedom, whatever that is independent UK
member of European Parliament, basically the same thing. And it
comes from this non binding agreement, which to us here in
America means it's nonbinding who gives a crap we won't sign
it anyway. However, in if you heard the guy says this will be
used as a framework for creating local laws and that is
definitely something that happens in the European Union.
making so much noise that you're just objective 17 from the
document. And this is why it's going to be used as a guideline
and why I think Europeans are rightfully should rightfully be
worried about what this will become not what it is. Objective
17 is eliminate all forms of discrimination and promote
evidence based public discourse to shape perceptions of
migration. And in this are all kinds of words like enact
implement, maintain legislation that penalizes hate crimes and
aggravated hate crimes targeting migrants that can be made into
law very similar to the UK laws now about bullying. Public
figures, I'm sorry, bullying politicians on Twitter, which is
now illegal, you can't do that you can actually get arrested.
So here is the British take on this very same thing from that
Janice Atkinson, who's from independent UK party I think
that listen voters in the UK, the EU and across the developed
world, this is a call to action. We need you to contact your
heads of state to tell them not to sign the UN Global Compact
for migration. UK get your head gets out of the Brexit Shambles
for a few minutes and listen. On the 10th and 11th of December
our heads of state will be signing this deeply damaging
document produced by those highly educated, highly
salaried, and unelected people at the United Nations. They have
produced this compact that will silence free speech, media
freedom. And if you think you're in control of your borders,
think again. This compact backs the EU and the UN's aim to flood
our nations with 59 million migrants by now
I've tried to find this number, this 59 million migrants it's a
meme. It's everywhere. No, it's someone just made it up. I'm not
sure where it came from.
Anyway, to finish this up, 2025 Yes, you heard right. 59 million
migrants by 2025. Yes, the clock is ticking. It's all it's nearly
2019 just six years to go. Why are they doing this? I hear you
ask. Because of the year 2000. These non parties came up with
the idea that our populations were declining and therefore
needed replacing. But how things have changed. You unemployment
is at a record high. Some countries have 50% youth
unemployment in some areas of Greece, it's even up to 75%.
Most countries that have taken in migrants are finding they are
unemployable. On average, migrants have 13% unemployment,
I have a 13% employment rate, so are a burden on the state. Even
Merkel's immigration spoken spokesman said that up to three
quarters of a million immigrants will still be unemployed in five
years. And for many others, we need up to 10 years. The
statistics are long and grim. Voters in the UK Yes, you pay
attention, Mrs. May will sneak into Marrakech to sign this
dodgy deal, just like Gordon Brown before her did when he
sneaked into to sign the Lisbon Treaty, no nice Greek photo,
just her signature that binds all of us to uncontrolled
immigration. Of
course, that won't bind anyone. And it's only a guideline. But
these things do tend to pan out that way. When they sign these
compacts it gives the politicians who are eager to do
anything.
Just anything like the those Climate
Accords actually like the Paris Agreement. Exactly. This is all
just suggestions bent out of shape. But somebody says I'm not
even signing it.
Yeah, but it's just suggestions, but witness Paris burning
because the suggestions were taken and put into a carbon tax
law. So these things do have implications. But as of right
now, it's not there. But if you look at just the final paragraph
of this objective 17 actually is interesting. It's paragraph 33,
subsection C, promote independent objective and
quality reporting of media outlets, including internet
based information, including by sensitizing and educating media
professionals. As you meet John, we need to be sensitized and
educated on migration related issues and terminology.
Investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, what
they're going to they're going to whenever they're going to
invest in ethical reporting standards and
advertising. Well, first of all, to hold that
whole paragraph begins with the word promote, of course, as
opposed to legislate boy or legislate. Well, this just means
that's beyond suggestion. That's like a suggestion. That may be
it'll be a suggestion. Sure.
I find it to be very. Yeah, I
understand the debate that we had was largely about this was,
was it real or not, or builders guy, which I thought was that
the guy himself was I saw him, too. He's like, yes, it was
official. Yeah. But it was good welders guy.
And what that means he's automatically No, good.
No, it means it's automatically going to be
in hysterics. Exactly, exactly. So it's, of course, it's being
used to fear monger amongst people. But I have to say that
there is you're seeing all these things. Remember, we saw in the
Lisbon Treaty in the protocols, lots of room for a European
army. Here we are, what 15 years later, European army is
seriously being
nuts pile can happen.
Yeah, exactly. But a lot
of people aren't going to sign it. I mean, Italy's not going to
sign it at the US. Obviously, we're not going to sign it. We
wouldn't sign that we're not that dumb.
There's one there's one extra thing that that we've learned on
the show that plays into this and this is the Kalevi plan.
Because this does fit in the Coutinho for color D plan, which
is to make Europe brown again, or make your brown for the first
time. And, you know, Angular Merkel When the color ghee award
in 2010 2016, it was Juncker the drunker I don't think they've
given it this year. But this plan, as we read literally calls
for this mass immigration. So it's not like this is without
precedents and agreed to precedents by the European, the
EU leaders.
I can argue that I'm not asking you to argue I don't know what
they're thinking. Well, I mean, what they're a lot of this has
this really, I think a lot of it stems from Italy. I think it's
funny Italy be the one rejecting it. Because Italy is the first I
think the first of the EU countries that went into
negative growth in terms of population. Yeah. They decided
all the Italian society didn't want babies anymore, right. And
so they started going and they'd rather party. And just so they
went into a negative population, so they were going to be dead,
their whole culture would be dead in the next 40 years, or 50
years or next century. Right. And so they had to do something
about it. Yeah, these are cycles. I think everyone panics.
You know, the, just the most minor of consequence, it's
weird. But there you have it, but Italians said, No, maybe he
wants to die off.
So what the Italians are not signing it now. Is that what
you're saying? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, there's
a big claim that you're not gonna sign it? Yeah. Well, we'll
see. We'll see. The whole thing is a fiasco. Yeah, what's the
point?
What's the point behind it? That's what I'd like to know. I
mean, why is it called if you look at one of the papers, it's
called the New York agreement where we got to do it.
I didn't hear about oh, because I think it was the way they do
that is, that means that it was first drafted in New York. And
so that's why this is all those this is called the compact on
migration. They call it the Marrakesh agreement, because
it's going to be signed in Marrakech. So that's like the
Lisbon Treaty. What did Lisbon have to do with it? Nothing was
just drafted in Lisbon.
Yeah, yeah. You probably right. Probably by New York, they met
the United Nations in New York.
Yes.
So yeah, well, I guess this is all just more part of the New
World Order.
Which is unprecedented. The
attempt to you know, I sound like an old fart when I say
this, but it sounds to me like, they just want a week in western
civilization. People are fed up with Western civilization. You
don't got you autos and highways, and
you don't sound like an old fart. That's extra crisis.
That's actually kind of what's going on a weird kind of way.
Yeah, I think so. There's this the West that Europe is also to
blame for everything. That's what's being sold there. You're
horrible. You've made Africa horrible. We need to have free
movement, this whole free movement thing, or freedom of
movement, let's just switch to Brexit. Because now we're
getting close to whatever deal Theresa May has put together.
And, and I've talked to a lot of people who are in the UK or had
do business with the UK or are in European states and a lot of
younger people and they all the one thing they focus on. You
okay.
You just blanked out completely.
We, that you there.
Yeah. The one thing that everyone seems to be focusing
on, no matter where they are in the European Union, if they're
usually if they're anti Brexit, which I think a lot more people
are, is we won't have freedom of movement, we won't be able to do
anything can't do business. You know, it wasn't all that hard
before was it? I mean, you could you could establish yourself in
a different European country, you could you could get a work
permit, at least when I live there. Now we're talking 20
years ago, I don't know how much changed. But it wasn't like it
wasn't a horrible ordeal. And how and what are the numbers
really? How many people really from the UK find it important to
remain a British citizen and work in a different country? I
mean, it just seems like a little over the top. But this
came up in the latest questions with the Prime Minister, I have
a clip.
reciprocal agreement. So we do two European Union nationals
they will do to us
Yeah, this is the this is the main driver, what we do to the
Europeans, they're going to do to us so they're kind of telling
Miss Mae, what you can expect.
So that means that people would lose skills from the United
Kingdom, young people at the beginning of the careers will
equally not below the same rates of access to the European Union.
Well, first of all, you've jumped to an assumption there.
What I was talking about was the immigration system that will be
independently put into place by
European half it was what we do to your
assumption you You I have to say, I don't think that the
expectations Yeah, you'd expect
the grips to go abroad as we have just now. But
we've we've been looking at a variety of a variety of issues
in relation to young people, particularly one of the areas
that we've looked at is the sort of programs such as Erasmus,
which have enabled the students to take advantage of membership
of the European Union. But if you look at the the section
within the political declaration, you will see that
of course, we will be looking at the mobility arrangements that
are
tracheids prime ministers that the range that you and I had to
live, work and love across a continent, the 28 nations is
going to be the prime to early young people because of Europe
session with immigration.
No, and I refer you to article 53, the parties agreed to
consider conditions for entry and stay for purposes such as
research, study, training and youth exchanges.
So you're not indifferent the movement then
this we are ending freedom of movement, we are ending freedom
and what freedom and freedom of movement gives them gives
automatic rights to people living in the European Union
that are not available to people outside the European Union. In
future, we will end that automatic, right, that comes
with free movement. What we will put in place is our system of
immigration rules, which will apply across all countries. And
it will be skills based rather than based on the country that
somebody comes from,
from the European Union to
now, it seems like a big argument about nothing. It's
just doesn't just revert back to kind of what it was. I mean,
what's the what's the big problem?
I mean, that's obviously which no one wants to bring up the
other thing is there's no loss of freedom of movement. You can
still move. Yeah, I don't know why she does. She goes, Oh,
yeah, we're gonna lose freedom of movement. That's what she
said. She admitted to it. She's a terrible,
she's not doing a great job. Certainly know
what she I mean, she was she would you always have to
remember she was against Brexit from the get go. She was an anti
Brexit tear. So what so her heart's never been in it?
I also failed to see how you know what the deal is going to
be. If you look at what's really happening in Europe, most young
people are not interested. I'm generalizing, but don't appear
interested in actually moving anywhere for work reasons.
They're all counting on the living wage, you know, the basic
minimum income that everyone wants so desperately in European
Union. Just give me some money so I can decide if I didn't want
to work at all. So I seriously question how many actually are
interested in this freedom of movement business? And I think
there's probably 3 million EU citizens in the UK and maybe a
million UK citizens in the EU, so I can see who's more worried.
But anyway, when does this thing close? Isn't that when it's
March? Why don't we have a vote coming? What's going on with
that?
I've always voted me for what for?
The parliament has to vote.
Oh, yeah, they have to vote. I don't know. I don't know if
there's a timeline. I've always found it interesting. One time.
I ran into some
when floating around Europe.
When you were in Europe, a
gadfly that you are floating around Europe and
don't have a lot of plants. So I float around. I've gone to
Europe many times with a Eurail pass and ad libbed, very good.
Well, I would say that's floating around.
I run into this German girl
and I strike up a conversation. And I asked her if she's ever
been to Paris.
And she says no. Okay. Well, how long ago was
this? It's interesting is that in Europe, if you're in Germany,
you can go to Paris in a wizard take three or four hours and I'm
sure high speed rail five maybe from wherever you are pretty
much you can fly for like not
the euro. The Euro rail is very convenient. Yep.
Yeah, well, not European zones have the same access to
it. But what is it
seems to me that if you're in Europe, if you were in Europe,
stationed in Europe, or position in Europe, where you are in
Switzerland or us someplace Central Europe, you would be
spending a lot of weekends going to Paris and then Berlin to go
to the zoo and you go maybe take the channel to London you that's
what you do it you wouldn't do it every weekend because it
would get a little boring after a while but
go to Amsterdam. Go to Amsterdam to smoke weed and bang hookers.
That's pretty much there you go. Yeah,
you bet you'd be doing this sort of go to Budapest. Yes. You do
all that stuff. They don't do that.
No. Well the Brits do. The Brits love their freedom of movement
to Amsterdam going to drink and drink and then bang hookers.
Maybe that's maybe that's what their fights over soccer. Yeah,
maybe that's what the remainders are really pissed off about is
hey, why don't you just make a deal with Amsterdam? Better yet
get you on must build you one of those tunnels? Yeah Hyperloop be
perfect. So meanwhile we have the G 20. Taking place. Which
I've gotten some reporting
know what I have here.
By the way, let me back up to my last comment since you're
looking. I will say this not that not just that a European
phenomenon up in Port Angeles, where you're pretty much on the
Canadian border even though there's a water way right in
between you have taken ferry boat and go to Victoria, Canada.
Probably one of the prettiest cities on the West Coast and if
not in the world. Beautiful place to visit. They have one of
their parliament building already one of the local
parliament building provincial parliaments there. They have
small Chinatown. They got a fan. It's a fantastic little big
city. And you ask people there have you ever been to Victoria,
which is like a boat ride away? In Canada? Oh, probably
not. No, probably not.
Why would I want to go there? Well, it's
it's, it's kind of the same though being here in the Geary
region. I mean, people say so tell me about your people don't
a lot of people don't know my history. I don't look like I
used to, you know, so that's how I grew up. And
you actually do look like you used to? No, I don't think so.
And so if you have to put a giant fro on your head, you
would
have never had I've never had a fro.
I don't know what you'd call it.
But I'll say no, I grew up in Amsterdam, and most people like
holy crap. I used to live in South Indiana.
And Indianapolis.
honest about it, though. Yeah. I was like, oh, no, most people
don't have a passport. Let's be honest. America is the is the
king of not going anywhere. But maybe it's a little more
universal than than we think it is.
I think it is. Yeah.
So here's the G 20. This is an interesting backgrounder. And
after that, I have a an article that only appeared in the China
Morning Post I think it is but here's a little background are
things from CBC
moments like this tool, the story critics of Mohammed bin
Salman wanted to hear the Crown Prince largely ignored of the so
called family photo, walking off alone while other leaders
mingled.
This is an awkward summit for Mohammed bin Salman, up for
grabs is how the leaders of the democratic world were going to
treat him and everybody was watching Trump.
But someone else stole the show and buck the narrative. Russian
President Vladimir Putin, with a jocular High Five handshake and
laughter between old friends. There are some similarities
between Putin and MBs. Both have allegedly arranged for the
assassinations of exiles abroad. Both have launched invasions of
neighboring countries, but it's unlikely this displays about
policy, its messaging. This is
a thumb and face of all the democratic countries that have
been critical of Bin Salman for the killing of Khashoggi and is
also interesting because it both takes Trump off the hook, but
puts him in the background. Both bin Salman and Putin have had
friendly relationships with Donald Trump that are actually
roiled domestic politics inside the United States and in other
democratic countries. And Donald Trump probably felt very
uncomfortable being outside had a handshake with two people that
he thinks he has supported.
I'm glad to see that the candidate Avians reporting of
worldly affairs is just as shit as everybody else's. And a lot
went on at this thing, particularly between Trump and
G. What do you have? What have you been learning
about it? The thing that bothers me about it was there was a
picture going around somebody one of my live Joe's sent me a
copy of it. Yeah, it shows Trump in the background looking
longingly at Putin and Khashoggi shaking hands and smiling at
each
I mean, the jaw, jaw killer, high fives that we were talking
about, you know, whatever you want killer now.
So Trump's back there. Looking at the pictures kind of kind of
fake because if you look at the video, Trump is walking in
really I don't even know if even notices them in the video shows
what happened but the but the mainstream media keeps showing
this picture frame clip from the video making it look like he
stopped and stared. He never did you can go look at the video.
And I thought was very disingenuous and they're all
playing this picture. Oh, there's Trump poor baby. His his
two friends are now friends and now he has no friends. It was
kind of a mess.
I think this is the same message. Yeah,
yeah. Yeah. Well, that's not the way it
is. In reality, that's not what was going on. But
okay. Okay,
so what do you what do you what have you been learning? I mean,
I've got I've got some stuff here. I'm
I haven't learned anything except there's this meeting that
Trump has seems to be more distracted by the Bush affair
because of the death of the old man. And he didn't want to do a
beep she's taking a look at key position at this thing. He's
not.
Well, the China Post or the China Morning Post, claims that
there was an agreement that there will be a 90 day kind of a
truce on the trade rift. And that China would be purchasing a
significant amount of stuff from Murca, which I don't know what
that is. Also, China has agreed to designate fentanyl as a
controlled substance. This is these are some pretty
interesting moves that are happening. That's a big one.
Yeah. And that has been that only showed up in the China
Morning Post. And I'm not sure what the trade thing means. It's
it's a little unclear but this period apparently some actual
things took place. Including Angus and
that's why the stock market skyrocket. Yes, Friday. Yes.
English they don't want to do doesn't play into the narrative
that that Trump's his
buddy sucks. really sucks is no good.
Of course not. So that's the only thing they've been showing
is the I'd haven't seen it obviously is video of Trump
looking longing like like a hurt teenager. Oh, no,
you missed the point is not video of Trump. It's a steel
frame. Taken from the video making it look like this.
Looking long, and it looks like he's there staring on No. When
in fact, if you watch the video, he never stops for a moment. He
walks in, looks around doesn't even see them and then goes on
his merry way. And they found one frame where he appears to be
looking at them for one frame. Which show now is a photo.
That's fantastic. Good work, guys. Yeah. Little extra in your
envelope this Christmas.
Yeah, they can use a few 100 bucks. Yes. No doubt about that.
Somebody got paid. And I think it was I even think that was
doctored. It doesn't look quite like it came from the video
off to take a look at that.
I'll send you a copy of the one that delivers Joe sent me as the
one that is the best one. And what was that looks you look at
it. What does this look right is for one thing to guys in front
of it. Here's this here's a good one giveaway for you Photoshop
errs out there. The guys in front are in focus. Then it goes
slowly out of focus at bouquets a little bit and then way in the
background is Trump somehow in focus
that's great. Yeah, if he saw
you Photoshop is when you got that you got that little picture
trying to hit the blur button a couple of times put them out of
focus. It may take a little of the drama out but it won't look
so fake.
Yeah, send me that for sure.
I thought this story about Merkel's plane was pretty funny.
Let me see here to David a lot of moving parts here in Buenos
Aires. One of the things we're going to be watching for is
angular Merkel of Germany whether she makes it here or not
some weirdness around her flight departing Germany and then
having to turn around with some communications problems. She's
going to apparently fly commercial from Spain to try to
get here not sure whether that affects her slate of meetings or
not. So a lot of it affects her statue moving pieces here a lot
of confusion and of course, a lot of high stakes economic
diplomacy as well.
So for some reason this story was going around about her plane
was bugged. And that's why they landed in the woods because she
didn't want her whatever she was doing on the plane to be East
drop. I don't know where that story came from. But I saw it a
lot. Yeah, I'm not sure where again, I don't know just people
started saying oh, it looks like something with the plane being
bugged. I don't know what kind of leader are you if you don't
have a backup plane? Fly commercial? That's kind of
upsetting. It's like, hey, Angular, you're on your way out.
Here fly. Lufthansa
Yeah. The coach
will buy it receipts you can have the whole row to yourself.
How's that sound?
Yeah. No, I didn't even hear that story.
See what I get for international stuff since we're on?
Oh, I see you have Argentina What do you have two clips
Argentina meetings? Nothing in there.
Yeah, well this
is the background is this this if you want to hold on to a CBS
played it. i Okay. I think we should play him. Yeah. Not too
long. There's Argentina meeting one
inside the conference, the Saudi Crown Prince and Russian
President high fived each other, but not President Trump. The
sudden chill among some leaders made for a few awkward moments
Major Garrett is at the G 20.
Let's just talk for a second about that. This high fiving of
Putin and Mohammed bin Salman.
And what do you make of that? It's
I've watched it a couple of times. It's not really a high
five it's a it's a handshake go kind of a ghetto handshake.
Where you know they you grab the hand high and then you do a
bunch of movements with the hand you wait
to make the doing the soul shake?
Yeah, no,
no, no, I've been in girI is going on. Don't don't think we
have TV reception here.
It goes up, grabs a hand and they do a bunch of rigamarole
No,
like a rehearse thing. Like they've met each other before
and they do this like boom, boom.
didn't bump bump, bump chest missing.
But what are they thinking like, Hey, this is a good thing to do
this this looks good.
Well, the funny thing was it looked as though if you just
would have seen it and not known any of the politics you would
have said all those two guys haven't seen each other for a
while. And I and I don't know if they have it because they took
the camera off it after a while but it would be like you do that
and do the rigamarole and and you hug and do it three Pat's on
the back thing that bros like two bros trau. And I would but
then they had both had huge smiles on their faces. And it
you know, their media tried to play it as though they're there.
They have one over on this idiot president we've got Trump and
I'm thinking more like, you know, take take the still shot
of Trump in the background, which never really existed as a
still shot and put that into play. It makes our president
look like an idiot.
I think that was the point. Yeah, but that's not the point
that those guys did it. They didn't do it.
Why they did it.
The explanation nobody ever asked them. No.
Why would we Princeton Russian President high fived each other,
but not President Trump. The sudden chill among some leaders
made for a few awkward moments Major Garrett is at the G 20. In
Buenos Aires,
President Trump avoided both Russian President Vladimir Putin
and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the ceremonial g
20. Photo today, tensions with both leaders just one
distraction in Argentina. For their part Putin and the Crown
Prince appeared to get along famously shaking hands
enthusiastically. The White House said Mr. Trump and Bin
Salman under fire for the killing of journalist Jamal
Khashoggi had a brief encounter where they quote exchanged
pleasantries. Moments later reporters asked the President
what they discussed. The President canceled two planned
meetings with Putin here to protest Russia's seizure of
three Ukrainian navy vessels and 24 sailors the most brazen act
of aggression toward Ukraine on Mr. Trump's watch,
and hopefully they'll be able to settle it out soon. As we look
forward to meeting with President for White
House officials had to beat back speculation the meetings were
canceled after the president's former lawyer Michael Cohen pled
guilty yesterday to lying to Congress about Mr. Trump's
development project in Moscow. Russia blamed the scuttled
meetings on domestic reasons in the US. In the statement, White
House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the special
counsels investigation probably does undermine our relationship
with Russia.
So you get a little jab in there at the end. Oh, yeah. Part two.
Now there's anything else to talk about?
The president tweeted that his aborted Russia real estate deal
was very legal and very cool.
does this lead us into this this thing? Or when will it come back
around to Argentina? In
this clip?
No, I think that I don't know. We'll find out.
The President did celebrate a revamped trade deal with Mexico
and Canada, the product of months of tense negotiations.
It's been long and hard. We've taken a lot of barbs and a
little abuse. And we got there. It's great for all of our
countries
are major. The big meeting though is tomorrow with the
president and the president of China Xi Jinping. What What
should we be expecting from that?
Well, today here in Argentina, Jeff, both senior and Chai.
Ionis officials expressed optimism about averting a trade
war and reaching some kind of progress between the United
States and China and the Dow jumped nearly 200 points on
optimism that a fair trade war can indeed here be
averted. I love that. So they do spend at least seven seconds on
something important and the rest is just making our President and
our country look stupid,
like Boneheads.
And the President. You know, I wonder if the President is doing
these what I would consider to be somewhat double entendres of
a sexual nature. Oh, really think a double entendre is by
definition? Yes. When he says long and hard taking Barb's a
little abuse? Sounds like well as an MC net. He's
interesting. He has sex on the mind, perhaps.
Forget about it.
Maybe? I don't know. I just want to hear her Did I said it's kind
of interesting. He said that that way he could have said,
said he could have put it in a million different ways. And
maybe it's just me.
Yeah, but it's possible. That's possible.
Well, I but I do like what the media is doing, at least from a
media perspective, you know, making the president look stupid
for the home for the home team so we can get out. He's, he's
locked out. He's not important. He's envious. He's like the
little girl who doesn't belong in the club. You know, when when
Bush passed? Almost the first thing on the New York Times
homepage was an article about well, you know, will he be
invited to the funeral? We're gonna have it back. We're gonna
have that nicer, really be invited to the funeral home?
Maybe the bushes don't want him because he was so
mean. Yeah, well,
there's no way he can be not invited to the funerals gonna be
a state funeral for God's sake.
But the New York Times loves printing that stuff.
Well, this is to get an example that sort of thing is in this
AMY GOODMAN story. Okay. This is a story about Deutsche Bank, the
news guild, there's a big scandal they got
for money laundering. They got radar. Yeah, yeah, get the
grade.
So here's the Deutsche Bank story. Now. It's all about
Deutsche Bank, the money laundering,
and some Let me guess can we trumping
up into it.
Germany, Deutsche Bank has headquarters were raided on
Thursday as part of a probe into money laundering. The probe
stems from the 2016 Panama Papers affair, which revealed
Mass Money Laundering and tax evasion schemes set up by the
most SEC funds. Second Law Firm. Deutsche Bank is President
Trump's largest lender, with Trump reportedly owing hundreds
of millions of dollars to the German bank for real estate
loans dating back some 20 years.
Yeah, I think that's factually incorrect. I mean, she's just
parroting whatever she read somewhere. And you know, the
former New York banker work there. He says we did two deals.
Then we all made money on it was perfectly fine. Of course, he
sued us and we went to court and we still made money on it. So I
don't think that's true. That He still owes money. It's
just, it's just a myth. Well, he parroted his news, this is the
problem with these people. Yeah. And Amy Goodman is very
susceptible to it. It shouldn't even be in the story, though.
It's about Deutsche Bank. And the money laundry has got
nothing to do with Trump under any circumstances. Just because
he you're gonna name everybody who's had a bank account at
Deutsche Bank, whether they borrow money or not, doesn't
make any sense.
Well, also, in all of these recordings on money laundering,
except way after the fact HSBC for which no one went to jail,
Jim Comey made sure of that as, as a member of the Board of
Directors, they never really talked about what the money
laundering was. And same with his Deutsche Bank story, has
anyone have you been able to find anywhere, what or who they
were laundering for or what the money was? where the money came
from?
What do you think you'd be if you can find out that they were
money laundering you had to be able to find out who their money
laundry for? You wouldn't have a case?
Yeah, but that just seems to not be important. I don't know why
they don't
bring it up. Well, while what are the Mexican cartels as a
European interest, is it is it you know, some African despot? I
mean, we don't know
drugs typically isn't just drug money. That's what it was. HSBC
was a drug money drug money, okay. Whose drugs well was
Mexican drug money with the big one? I remember that. But that
but again, that's also just, I don't whatever, fine.
Use it. Yeah.
No one cares. Just drug money.
Quiet. Quiet. Well, then there was the best.
The best Trump slam came and this is your beat. I don't know
if you have the clip. The now apparently canceled Murphy Brown
reboot.
It's been canceled I believe. At stake Have you
seen thank you to all the Norman Lear folks for helping that
story, get off that show get off the ground by screwing them with
these thematic, you know, anti government stories? Well, it's
not government anti Trump.
It's yeah, it's not just anti government in that. I don't know
if you saw this this is I think it's a trailer or just a piece
of it. So I haven't seen the whole episode. You know if this
aired or not. It's Murphy Brown. And one of her journalists has
been beaten into a hospital at a Trump rally. So he's his face is
all mashed up and beaten. She comes in
when is that happened?
And we start with the scene
I guess when you major in journalism these days, you have
to minor in kickboxer and Frank Hey, guys, what happened to you?
I thought you knew how to duck.
You should see the other 100 Guys How bad do I look?
Not bad, if your opinion.
So I guess the takeaway here is next time you cover a rally hope
the president doesn't give you a shout out.
We're in from left the stage I decided to leave the press pen
and go interview some of the people. Next thing I knew I'm
surrounded by a sea of Red Hat's Oh God, no big deal. I'm just
milking this for the jello and sponge baths. There you go.
A journalist got beaten within an interval of his life at a
Trump rally in the pretend Murphy Brown series. Yeah. Keep
talking.
When does that happen in real life? No, it hasn't happened in
real life. But I think that a bunch of Trump supporters have
been had the crap beat out of them. Yeah. But in California,
that's why Trump never came here. I mean, it's just, it's
unconscionable. Well, again, a guy they had to put the red hats
in there too. Like they're going to be wearing the red hats. Go
horse Of course.
That's it's well, it got canceled. So
that's what you're always doomed from the first episode. clips I
played from it. But it just
was Hold on a second. We know how television works. And okay,
it's CBS, CBS Yeah, CBS. But still to get anything on the air
at any network. Any television network. That's a quite a
process has a lot of people and a lot of money involved? And how
can they steal believably? How can this happen? I mean, that
must mean that at its core, CBS is so hateful and so rotten.
Otherwise, you just don't put this on the air just because you
know, it's not going to be successful. It's like coming.
It's like hierarchy theory. You know that. It's not going to
draw all the audience you need for a primetime
show. Couple of possibility. Couple of possibilities to put
our executive hats on. Okay. It had to be Moonves, Greenlight,
because that's when he was in the consisting group was
Greenlight along before he got kicked out. Right. Moonves may
have green lighted it knowing it was going to fail. But it was a
quid pro quo to the CIA or somebody else who's got a lot
their claws are all over. Or all over CBS, as we've pointed out
before, and it was this has gone way back to the early days.
They've always been very closely connected to that network. And
it may have been just a nod to them was it in mind that it
wasn't going to go work out because you know, but it was
gonna get a lot of attention for not working out or may get some
make some point. Maybe the point that you just played is the
point that it was trying to make and it was that's fine. It was
kind of canceled. So what we we put other things on that we
expect to cancel right away. Anyway, ABC did it with
Roseanne. They're looking for any excuse to get rid of her.
So, you know, you don't I mean, I there's some note of
insincerity about the whole thing. I mean, bring Murphy for
one thing, Candice Bergen. She's lost whatever acting shop she
will once had, and seem to be faxing in her performances. And
the whole thing seems somewhat
fake. So I don't know. Just saying
it's a long answer to I don't know. Yeah. Well, it says
no, but I suspect there's something more to it than just
going through the process. And then then then just crapping
out.
Okay. Well, it's it's shows no business acumen in the decision
making, or at least not business acumen that these executive
producers would adhere to. You want to
do well, or the network at the time, because now that Moonves
Moonves may have also been one of these guys who run these
networks that can say, yeah, it's not making it Now, but it
will I mean, there's numerous and wrong carrying shows mash, I
think was one of them. Cheers was another one. And it was a
bus. And oddly,
Baywatch only was successful in in Deutschland. But boy was
Hasselhoff right now.
He was right. The word. The word bust has a different meaning
with Baywatch. Yes. Gotcha.
All right.
Does that bring us to me too? Does that bring us to Neil
deGrasse Tyson? Well, no, I
will. Not quite, but we're gonna get there. Good. I just want to
get this one out of the way. Because we talked about the
Trump and the Russian deal and all the rest. There's one little
tidbit that Amy and I don't know if it's bull crap or not. But
it's pretty funny. But the way it's presented is kind of
disingenuous. Another example. This is the this you have to
listen carefully. This is about a penthouse that Putin was
supposed to get. Yeah,
the 50 $50 million penthouse that was supposed to be a part
of the collusion deal.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Basically, News is reporting the Trump anything
that starts off like that. I mean, you could pretty much when
it starts off with BuzzFeed News on like, click other channel.
Buzzfeed News is reporting the Trump Organization plan to give
a $50 million penthouse at the proposed Trump Tower Moscow to
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Okay. So what is just a room?
Just top floor of the place, you're gonna give it to
somebody? Because usually it's a gift to someone to act as a
bribe? It's a bribe. Yeah. Well, and you can you can price it at
every anything you want. It could be if it was in
Emeryville, over here. They had these penthouses or a million
a million dollars, some,
you know, different in Moscow in Emeryville, but
still, right? But I mean, this
was just a WHO CARES
thing? Personally. I
was giving him $50 million. No.
But this this has been a story that I've heard all weekend
about this penthouse, and you know, the collusion and well
actually I'm gonna play this now because I think it makes a lot
of sense. collusion, collusion, yeah. Any collusion. So I'll
just so the background to all this is Michael Cohen flipped,
he flipped. He's done something. It's Oh, wait, I have I have the
background or what am I thinking I have the background or from
the view,
I gotta tell you this, this news about Michael Cohen. We always
knew when Michael Cohen flipped that he probably had some
significant information. Now he's pled guilty to lying in
front of Congress, about the Trump Tower plans that the Trump
Tower was going to be built in Moscow. So
okay, so look, you gotta you gotta write this down to follow
it. So now he's been, he's been caught lying to Congress,
apparently, you got to write down Congress. And
you know, everything ended when Trump became president, January
of 2016. Now we know those conversations,
and Cohen was lying to Congress, continue through July two
avenues.
But that means that somebody,
Michael Cohen, lied to the public to the Congress, and the
President lied to the American people.
I love this. This is the nub of the revelation. He lied to the
American public where they had been giving us actual counts of
how often he's lied to the American pop American public.
But this one is a little different somehow.
I know. But the thing is, and I've we've talked about this
before,
Trump, this is what I saw him two minutes ago, Trump just
going on and on bloviating, on and on. But he said that there
was no deal, there was no Moscow Trump Tower. Yeah, so it never
happened. So what's the big deal? What do you say
is a big deal because if it happened, if these negotiations
were going on, while he was president, it's precisely what
the Framers of our Constitution wrote in to protect the American
people against
that, but what she's referring to is our old friend, the
Emoluments Clause which will pop up again and you will be hearing
incessantly because somehow a deal that did never completed is
enriching yourself. That's because
we want to make sure that this President any president is not
putting his self interest before the interests of
him. Is there a smoking gun here
do you think I think so. What would buildings they'll be
they'll be documents. You know, negotiation
does this is a common theme is the legality of the charges and
the then what it will entail you're a lot of brain fry Orange
Man bad yeah. When these when these questions are trying to be
answered documents,
there could be tapes. That's the funny thing when people lie to
the federal prosecutors don't they know that federal
prosecutors usually don't even ask questions they don't know
the answer to already like they have the Federal Bureau of
Investigation waiting for them there. Yes investigative tool in
the world.
Usually asking questions they already have the answer we all
do that. Not having man for I don't think it's a huge deal for
Moeller and it also sadly, doesn't surprise me that I just
love this huge deal. This deal this armchair quarterbacking is
great when it comes from the ladies from the view
when has lied to Congress and that Manafort and fourslide
lawyers I mean, these are bad guys. It's not like he surrounds
himself with
upstanding says Trump says that they're very brave that Michael
is not not Michael Cohen, he called him weak. Because the
other ones are not slipping those I'm ready to get part.
There's
also a chance that the public doesn't even get the results of
this report. Right. I think there's this idea that Muller is
gonna span from the camera and he's gonna, you know, list a
bunch of things that they found, but ultimately Moeller gives it
to Whitaker. That's why his role is so important because
Whitaker, the Attorney General can then decide to just keep it
quiet. Just give an outline to release the leak
tonight. Today is a good day for Donald Trump to resign.
I would wager that your lip Joe friends have very similar
scenarios in their head as to what's going on. But of course
they do. We don't have to defend it. Hell froze over. And Jake
Tapper of all people that disgraced from ABC News, lower
down to CNN, and he has incoming chairman or most he's now the
currently the ranking member, which means he's the head of the
opposition party, but this the Democrat, his name is Jerry
Nadler. So he will be the chairman. Oh,
God. Nadler is the worst of the group, by the way. Well, this
is the best of the worst. So he's going to be the chairman of
the House Judiciary Committee. Yeah. Now oversight over the
Justice Department. And Jake Tapper. God bless him. I don't
know what happened. I don't know if it's smart of him to do this.
Because of course, a guy like Nadler will come on CNN thinking
home game. No worries, I'll just punt the just bopping around
like we always do. And I'll score some goals. And I'll go
home.
What? Well, first of all, I think Nadler is not well liked
by by anybody. And so I don't think he's going to get that
treatment.
Well, he did not get that treatment. But that's what he
was thinking. And,
yeah, okay.
Well, then he was very poorly
as a Yap. He's an idiot, but it that's what he would be. Yeah,
that's what
he would be thinking. So Jake Tapper, states, the obvious not
once not but maybe five times in this interview? He says, Yeah,
what Trump did may not mistake I think he was, he says May stink,
but it's not illegal. But listen to the brain fry. And
subsequently, the just word diarrhea coming out of his
piehole. This guy is going to be the Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee. It's baffling
Congressman Jerry Nadler of New York. He's the ranking member of
the House Judiciary Committee expected to become the chairman
of that committee when the Democrats take control in
January. Thanks so much for being here. Appreciate it. So
this is look, this is clearly not welcome news for the
President. I don't want to pretend that it is. But once
again, I look at these documents. And I don't see any
evidence of conspiracy between members of the Trump team and
members the Russian Government to interfere in the election?
Well, first of all, the President obviously has to be
feeling very upset and angry now that now that we know that
Michael Cohen was lying to Congress on he was lying to
Congress in his behalf. And he has to be upset about what
Michael Cohen has admitted to now and presumably what
I'm just realizing that this is really how this guy thinks he's
really thinking, man a bit. Trump has really pissed off
about this. Bet he's really just steaming, he's so mad about
Cohen flipping on him. He's got to be worried I
will admit to and what he's admitted is that he was
negotiating a corrupt business deal in Russia on behalf of the
President during the campaign.
Now you and I would probably say hold on a second. I mean,
corrupt business deal. This is new what you're putting in here
that was there any reporting of it being corrupt? And lo and
behold, jet Jake Tapper does just that.
When the President was saying there was no negotiate there was
no business even call it a corrupt business dealings or the
fact that it was negotiated with a foreign power or business
deals while you're running for president.
Not illegal You mean like more just colloquial? Yes, yes. But
still no conspiracy.
Listen to this. Now now that guy's brain is on fire Well,
certainly tends to indicate it's one more bits of evidence.
Remember that. So now we know. Calling
Orange Man bad fact is
that Trump during the campaign, at the same time, that he is
dictating a change in the Republican platform to favor the
Russians at the same time, that he can find nothing negative to
say about Putin.
But here are the charges number one So apparently negotiations
were going on with the Russians while he changed the platform to
favor Russia, which is debatable, but the platform was
changed. But the second item on the list, the second item on the
list is that he wasn't saying anything bad about him. He
wasn't he was his paycheck, it's actually an offence to not say
something bad about it, but
that what they're doing is in fact negotiating with the
Russian government for personal business. Profits, he's mixing
his personal business profits, with respect and perhaps putting
them over the interest of the United States. So
this is the case I love this, that the Trump as everyone
knows, is such a narcissist to so care so little about America,
that he only wants to enrich himself and during the campaign,
and during the election. And today, right now, all he cares
about is getting richer himself and not about America. That's
that is the claims
and full and lying to the electorate about
it. Sure, it stinks. I'm not I'm not saying I'm not conspiracy is
all
just Jake Tapper want to be fired? So
it may be conspiracy not to interfere with the election.
There's
no no but no, but now you have another you have another piece
of evidence of, of active business dealings, and
conspiring by Trump with the Russian government at the time.
At the same time, that you have other people who are agents of
Trump dealing with, with all the things we've seen about the
hacking youth Gusa to win the WikiLeaks and everything else.
It's another,
WikiLeaks Guccifer to it's like that other clip that we play,
John, where it's like, give me some examples of how it's
undermining democracy and people just start yelling, FBI, NSA.
This guy is just he's just throwing with WikiLeaks at
Guccifer 2.0.
You have another piece of evidence of evidence of active
business dealings and conspiring by Trump with the Russian
government at the time, at the same time, that you have other
people who are agents of Trump dealing with with all the things
we've seen about hacking you with Guccifer, two and WikiLeaks
and everything to another point of, of time, Trump's close
relationships with now this is
great, smart. Yeah, she
was while he was tonight, Jake Tapper is hanging in there. And
they're all tense in the same direction.
So President Trump responded to basically what you said earlier
today, let's play that he basically says he he was he
wasn't president, he was just a candidate. He can do what he
wants. Take a listen.
Orange Man bad.
Even if he was right, it doesn't matter. Because I was allowed to
do whatever I wanted during the campaign.
Well, no, he's not allowed to do whatever he wants to in the
campaign. He is allowed to have private business dealings with
the Russians. He is not allowed to have private business
dealings with the Russians and lied to the American electorate
about it, at the same time, changed the Republican platform
with respect to the Russians and other ways to mix his public
policy, and probably the public policy forward into his
presidency based on
its he's not allowed to. I don't I'm not disputing that it
stinks. But it's not illegal, right.
It's not illegal to have public business dealings with the
Russians. It's not illegal to to change the Republican platform.
It may very well be illegal to take that public. And it's
certainly illegal. If he's done anything. As President based on
his business relationships with the Russians, and this, this is
another piece of evidence going toward that, toward that
conclusion.
Well, it's clear impeach him. What the hell was he saying?
He wasn't saying anything. But here's the another question that
could have been asked. Why was it in Putin or the Russian
government's best interest to get him elected? When if they
had not gotten him elected? Putin would have benefited with
a $50 million penthouse.
I don't think Jake had read that BuzzFeed at that point. So maybe
he didn't have that information. But what does that mean? Tapper?
All of a sudden now he's he's, he's just
he likes Nadler. Hmm, well, there's
an unlikable person,
but I think he puts his his his reputation on the line with the
with stuff like this.
Well, yes,
doing hard hitting news is what it is hard hit
days. He's rolling it out real hard, hard hitting barbed. And
with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say the
morning to you John, see you where the C stands for. I can't
come up with something and Gary do boronic
in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry. Also in the morning to
all the ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air and
soaps in the water and all the David's are knights out there
that is the new tube everybody it's a new sound effect we're
testing on the no agenda show man in the morning to the troll
room had no agenda stream.com I've been looking at the troll
room, and a very unhelpful when cracking one liners that aren't
funny, but Okay, thanks for being there. No agenda
stream.com where you can always witness our show live and also a
big in the morning to once again, Darren O'Neill, who
brought us the artwork for episode 1090. Titled that was
truth tell. And I remember when we chose this, this is the was
so this is the logo that was going to be used for Al Gore's
24 hours of reality. And he changed it significantly to make
it three hours of reality the no agenda show, and we felt it was
appropriate. Since the
Yeah, there was actually a number of pieces that were
usable. They were picked out one because it was the most it was
the some of the other ones does a little tip. Some of the other
ones that are sometimes you turn something that maybe even as a
better piece, but there's something that's more timely
than in other words, it can't be used again in the future. The
one piece that we thought was also really good, could be used
in another show where we have no art. Right. Right, exactly.
And also, we wanted to remind everybody what to not use us.
Was that something we needed to remind everybody that you want
to
know Yeah, you can't put our pictures in the art week because
the reason is because the first two or three years of art to at
least the first two years of art. Every artwork had our
pictures. It was like the theme. Yeah. And we got one day we got
sick. We got really tired of it is basically the same two or
three images. Yeah, yeah. And so he said no more pictures of us
period. We're not going to do that. Right. And so we stopped
so if there's a picture of either one of us could be one or
the other. Sometimes just one that immediately gets
overlooked. Immediately. It just gets kicked out. So using you're
wasting your time. It can't be done. Let's start with the
thanking a few executive producers we got three of them.
Kevin Silverman, is the top of the list from subversion Marilyn

Melanson was the Grand Duke of the Pacific

had to play a noose bomb thing. I don't remember. No,
no, it was Melanson you left out of the thing
was he was he did he produced on the last show. I thought it was
a top guy
and he didn't get a jingle Oh man.
And so I gave you some one way that when he doesn't. I'm
confused. I don't know what I'm doing. I was trying to be ahead
of the

While you were doing fine it till you gave him a false
credit.

Sir, Kevin McLaughlin de vie count of Luna. He's Jordan,
dollars and 33 cents in locust, North Carolina. In the morning,
woohoo in the morning. And thank you for your courage gentleman,
John's follow up email was a call to action. F cancer karma
from my uncle Huey and others fighting cancer. Thank you for
keeping my MC dilla in check.
You've got karma. I want to talk about that for a second. So
about the newsletter now, I subscribed through two different
accounts. both@curry.com. And I got all essentially, four
emails, I got most of them twice. But a lot of people
didn't get the newsletter and it seems that things are going on.
And I wonder if you had any forensics
looking into it. But here's the here's what my my indicators
aren't I'm actually talking to MailChimp guys, I figured
nothing. So every week I send a newsletter out on Thursdays and
Saturdays are best are Wednesdays and Saturdays the day
before the show. And last Thursday is when it really
concerned me because it was only a 25% open rate, which means
there was it but it wasn't any different than any of the other
newsletters in terms of the headline or the teaser or
anything else.
And when you can ask questions about do you typically expect a
higher open rate? I expect to be about 47% which is extremely
high in the in the news? Newsletter business is not?
Yes, but there's a lot of reasons for that. But generally
speaking, just asking somebody subscribe to it should be
higher. I when I do my wine newsletter, occasionally the
open rates about 85%
Hey, how can I get on that list? I'm not on that list. So it's by
irritation here.
Let me explain my concern. So I send this thing out. And the
first thing that happens to me when it immediately goes out to
MailChimp, I get I don't, I don't have the number in front
of me. But it's five or six, I have these these cheat
indicators that I use and people who's ever been in the mailing
list business have these, you'd have all these tricks. This is
one of mine, okay, I get five or six immediate bounce backs from
people with automated messages. They just it just crops up
immediately, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang five, or six.
And in every week and every time I send it out, I'll get back,
either. Oh, you to get to all those back just immediately, or
I'll get maybe two of them. I wonder whether the four went.
And but this time on Thursday, I got none. I got zero of these.
On the Saturday newsletter. I got three or four. So it was
better. But I didn't get what I'm expecting to get so so the
people that are supposed to send me the automated reply. This is
an automated reply. We're not at the desk right now.
Okay, I gotcha. That's your trick. That's good drinks. Yes.
Yeah. Very good trick.
So these automated replies don't show up at all. And they're
automated.
Now were these Gmail addresses? Are these Gmail addresses
primarily? Or what is that?
Well, I'm looking into all the details. So you can see it
because my, you know, Gmail doesn't necessarily mean it's
about Gmail. I think it is about Gmail, I think it is to keep
changing their their, their their algorithms. And so I think
now I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing. Well, but a
lot of people have company names, but are actually Gmail,
right? Yes, yeah. Gmail for business. Well, I have two
thoughts about it. One is, is it possible that because you there
was some email virus going around attached to your domain
name. And that is not anyone's fault necessarily or solvable.
But a lot of people receiving it probably also in Gmail that
maybe Gmail went, something's up with this. So let's just route
everything to spam. If it comes from that, from anything related
to divorce.org.
It's always possible, but there's no for one thing, if
they're looking@divorce.org, they're not looking at the
sender.
Right? I'm just saying, I'm just saying that, that that's a
possibility that,
no, Google has stuff. So these are endless. I'd accept that as
a possibility. Even though there's no evidence of it.
Here's the here's the most important thing. People who use
Gmail, how long are you going to let Google determine what you
can see and what you can do? How long until you really are
missing things that may be important that Google deemed not
important to you? How long are you going to stand for that? For
something as I think, critical as email, ask yourself, What the
hell are you doing? Why are you letting some company do this for
free? Because you know, they're doing it for free. There's a
reason for it. And it's probably not to help you out.
Think about it.
When you sign off, think about it. This is
from Uncle Adam. That's
right. That's right. All right. Last Last
one of these things, I think it's a I think they've changed
something I've got to figure out what it is because here's, I'll
give you a here's a tip for you, mailers, I've always given me I
give away because it's the nature of this show. We give
away information. That's good to know. If you're doing a mailing
for example, to a group or to a mailing list and you you're
trying everything you do everything you can not to get
bounced back. One of the things you want to avoid of course is
things like using all caps in the subject line. Just like five
points against Oh,
yeah, that's immediate, Baba.
Yeah, yeah. Now I've been using all caps in the in the sandline
Because it seems to be very effective that may actually be
not working against me now after experiment some more with a B
test but
you know those let me just stop you there. Interesting. You say
that because I have always found the all caps you know, the no
agenda new whatever it is, it's all caps. And to me, it always
gets my attention like oh shit, there's the newsletter. So
that's just a small trick you're using that may be outlawed now,
maybe it's
on the front end. Yeah, but it's not on you can't put on the
subject line because I know that's out. Right. Right. So you
got to minimize just two things about subject line. You got it?
No one you can't use all caps. And keep the exclamation parts
to a minimum. Oh wait. No exclamation mark ever.
No that's a bad word.
Yeah. All right.
It was one of the tip by head that I wanted that
was that was only three those three you promised five promise
five.
I think he said five tips
315 email tips.
Okay, here's the last one this is the third one is the one I
want this one I want to start with for people doing emailing
you need to know this. Alright? Never this but I got burned on
this one and it didn't take me long to figure it out. Never
ever use the same link in the email note or go here go there
go here twice. Never use the same one twice. And so to get
around it for the show. Because you know I'm always pet peeve
around a
randomizer No, you
don't you can't even create a randomizers gotta go to pay pal
pet pills I'm going to put up with that. You just create
second and third links that are just pretty much the same thing.
So the URL to donate to no agenda is your L A. I want to
say it again at the end of the note right I can't use that set
exact same URL I can't
pop because that's that's an automatic system automatic spam
buster.
Yes you BAM done. Not gonna happen that mail is not going
anywhere. And I so what is that?
What is that? What do you do?
I just created another URL. That's pretty much the same.
Except as a shortened URL. No, you can't do that either. All
shortened URLs are checked.
Well how are you making? What what you were only I don't
understand where you are I
go to pay pal. Here donation URL, donate to the no agenda
show. Here's the you get created button for me. Boom. Here's your
URL. I go back to pay pal. I say donate for a good cause to the
no agenda show or just anything. They give me a different URL
every time I create a new button. Hey, John.
Thanks. That's what I was trying to figure out. I do sound
exasperated the same
button. I didn't know how it worked for things.
I thought it was I thought you were sending people to divorce
hack.org/na differently. Now I understand what you're doing.
You're sending them straight to PayPal. I have no alternative
meant to do it straight to PayPal because you don't have a
different Leo
agenda. It does slash na I can only use that once. I have to be
careful. I don't put it in there twice. Well, you
know what? This? This is an Amazon giblet if I've ever heard
it. Oh,
yeah, long email. Do you have 10? Yes, only a few of them. I
don't even know all of them. And there's tons. But this stuff?
Because I know for a fact from time, way back when when Matt
Cutts was still there. And I was getting into trouble. Ah, yeah,
the cuts man. I know that they change these things. And they
don't tell anybody. No. So they, of course, spam filters. They
changed it and I don't know what it is. It's what I'm doing
wrong.
Wow. Okay, well,
good on you. I mean, that's that's a tough beat. And I
appreciate you diving so deep and making it work. And let's
see how we do for for Thursday show hopefully, we can figure it
out.
We Yes. Is is a personal thing with me about this whole thing.
And we got our last Associate Executive producer who should be
mentioned, he's been sitting there on pins and needles
because but he's in Victoria BC, one of the prettiest places in
the world. So good for him. Charles McPherson.
200 bucks is dynamite. Everyone
should visit it. Please accept my donation of $200. I will
kindly refuse one for one for the Canadian dollar as I know
your cost of living is in American dollars. This is my
third word that sweet. That is nice. This is my third donation
after listening over 300 episodes or 900 hours. I have
received much more value than I have given. So here's a couple
of hundos to help make up for it. I've recently returned from
a trip overseas in Tibet and Nepal. No agenda is blocked in
China.
Oh. Yeah.
Why? Why am I not surprised? No. Why is it blocked? Cuz we're
evil Westerners.
But fortunately, I was able to access the show in Nepal. The Wi
Fi was available yet and horrible while hiking in the
ANA. Annapurna Circuit for three weeks. an outdoorsman? Yeah. Our
people get around. I mean, the internet bandwidth was very low
in remote areas as you would expect banned. Pod Bean was not
able to download new episodes.
Or pod bean is our go to I can't believe it.
No agenda like to the rescue? The Oh yeah. This name band that
created no agenda. light.glump.net. Yes. I'm gonna
give you that, again, for anyone who wants to know about this.
It's not doesn't show up in the search. Usually. No agenda
light, li te e dot glump, g l, u and p.net. which enabled me to
download the podcast over low bandwidth. Yes. A great resource
for any traveler. Yes, we knew about this. We haven't mentioned
it for a while. Well, you know, that's helped me just to update
it on my long days of hiking and relative isolation. Let me tell
you, Nepal is goat oriented. As I write this, my smokin hot
spouse is questioning why you donate to a free podcast. For
the value. Yes. Thanks for all you do. Charles and Victoria BC.
There's a there's a frugal Canadian woman, you know, given
it away, why? You know why? Why, why? Why pay for a gallon of
milk is free.
Hey, no that that the low bandwidth, no agenda low
bandwidth started, I think that started with Australia in 1011
years ago, is the bandwidth was very expensive. And it was
really crappy bandwidth and was hard. I think it was the
Australians who really couldn't, couldn't get the show in regular
fidelity or a lot of them. I think most of the problem was
cost.
If I recall,
well, it's been going on in the background. Like everything else
in the no agenda show. We have a lot of people who are kind of
doing their own thing on behalf of the show as listeners. Yeah.
And we appreciate that, to say the least. Well, thank you lump.
Yeah, go. Calum dotnet thank you all very much for supporting the
program. This is episode 1091 of the no agenda show. You are now
officially executive producers and Associate Executive
producers of the show for this episode, and you can use that
credit wherever credits are recognized and accepted and it
does seem to be very useful for getting gigs through the
LinkedIn. So thank you again. And reminder that we have
another show coming up on Thursday please support us at
vora.org/and
I think we are bringing you all the deconstruction you need all
you have to do is go out and propagate it our formula is this
people in the mouth Well, in our never ending, understand
understanding of how people work, and what makes them tick,
whenever you say something that is strange people will email me.
And whenever I say something that is off kilter, or whatever,
people email you, and even when I say, hey, email John at the
VOR act.org about something somehow, they still email me.
And this is regarding your Australian accent.
Ah, the steak and shrimp incident I like incident
as it as it turns out, not only are you really pronouncing it
horribly, but you shouldn't even be using these words.
Yet. It's alright Devaraj. UK, you want to practice your
Australian accent I got a little bit of advice for you. Normally
we have five vowels. A, e, i, o and u. But in Australia, they
more or less have to, and it's Ay, ay, ay, ay ay and, boy. talk
like that. You'll sound like an Ozzy in no time.
So that is some advice from Matthew Bigelow. Now we move
over to Martin from Queensland.
Good I don't have a handgun. Mike. Let me tell you about the
Aussie accent because black needs work. Firstly, no trueblue
was he hits down the pub for a steak and shrimp. We call them
prawns because in Australia, our product is almost as big as your
forearm and a shrimp. His little tack is running amok around the
house.
Okay, I'll translate. So they don't say shrimp. They say
prawns because prawns are what you eat in Australia and shrimp.
Apparently
they've gotten this note from a number of people. But as they
don't they don't eat shrimp. They don't need prawns. But yet
it's the Outback restaurant and Australian themed restaurant
that sells steak and shrimp.
And there's that a restaurant in Australia or is that restaurant
in America?
This reminds me of the first time it went to the UK in the
70s and I found the California burger. And it was like it was
the worst thing yet. There was no there was no relationship to
any sort of normal hamburger. So I got a meatball sandwich.
Would you like to hear the rest of your critique?
Yes, yes. I'm as everyone knows, I'm very open to this.
A spike is a steak you can be frickin huge or just a big
sucker. Either way, you're testing the dunny the next day.
So if you're out with the missus down the local for a meal, or a
study or two, and you splash out, you might order a kilo
monster rum with a prawn topper. Like this is called a surf and
turf. Ask for a steak in a strip and the Sheila behind the barrel
drop you on your ass quitters. Look at your fair dinkum.
Anyway, boys in the morning.
So I think I think the clue here is or the lesson is be you just
ask for surf and turf and then you're safe. So nothing can go
wrong. But in case you don't know how to do it after this
advice, we always have Chris Wilson to remind us in song so
I've been working on my Australian accent. Want to hear
it? Sure. Strike and shrimp as far as I've gotten.
So John, you want to speak some Aussie? So I figured I'd write
you this song. By when you say steak and shrimp to all the
sauces it sounds kind of wrong. Because the shrimp we call ProAm
and prawns and steak. They're Swank. So seem order surf and
turf and you want to sound like a douche bag Yank.
There you go.
You're Australian lesson courtesy of the producers of the
no agenda show.
Yes. All from Australia.
Yes, they were. I guess I heard some good voice over talent in
that in there.
That's a that's a dress Chris. No, I
mean besides Chris.
Oh, the from the guy from Queensland.
Maybe Yeah.
You mean, Martin Martin in Queensland? Maybe could be.
Yeah.
I didn't take notes, but maybe Martin and cream Queensland just
sent me a note. We'll give him something to do. Okay.
Good idea. I mean, it was really thick, sort of like the thick.
That's what she's borderline. not understandable. All right.
So we had a big earthquake in Alaska. I got the report on it
just so we can get a little. So at least we talked about it.
Yeah. What's this talking about? big earthquake.
Good evening. I'm Jeff Lawson edition and we are going to
begin tonight with a major earthquake that shook Alaska
today. Jamie Yuka says following all of this,
the major earthquake Rob buildings like this courthouse
and seem to go on and on. Roads collapse all around anchorage
including this ramp near the International Airport. Alone car
was left on an island of asphalt
just walking up after this earthquake. Holy smokes. Food
flew off
store shelves and windows were shattered. The quake struck just
seven miles northwest of the downtown area of Alaska's
largest city. Our anchorage station KTVA took a big jolt.
This is what their newsroom looked like after the quake.
All of these are TVs and computers. This is a camera over
here we have this pile of broken shattered glass. This is our
conference room. It's our break room. Got a whole bunch of food
stuff. This is a TV in the break room fell ripped off the wall.
This is gonna be a mess to clean up. Students dove
under desks at the anchorage airport
how often have they had earthquakes there? I don't I
can't really recall any.
Well, they had a whopper and 6364. That was a nine the
biggest recorded in on the globe ever. And
that was on the old system on the old scale. The real Richter
scale now we're on maybe a 50 Yeah, now we're on the momentum
scale, which is purposely jacked up to make everything look worse
in ours
and their earthquakes have a lot of uplift. So you end up with
not just a bunch of shaking, but all of a sudden of highway lb
just buckles, you know you'll be going into the 10 foot of dirt
is lifted up 10 feet now you know things to get thrown
around. It's it was just a bit tear it they have bad
earthquakes up there. And they have they at the end of the day,
they have some like, I'm not might be wrong in this number.
But as I was looking at this number, I said this doesn't make
sense. 40,000 a year embers.
Yeah. Did you see there was that there's a map. And it has all
the seismic or a number of seismic sensors across the USA.
And they show the minute the earthquake hits. And then you
see this wave going all the way through? Of course it hits the
Pacific Northwest and California and then I mean, even Texas,
there was I mean it almost the East Coast, you could there was
some measurement of it. But as a as a resident of the People's
Republic of California. Are you worried that this could kick
something off in your area? And does Does this ever come up?
No. Okay.
It's pretty separated from all the stuff that we it's almost
like they have their own system of faults in this Gutten to
connection to anything in the Ring of Fire, which is the
earthquake zone that surrounds the Pacific Ocean. Yeah,
that's where everyone's gonna last. That's where everyone's
going to die in the ring of fire, the Ring of Fire, where we
all go down together?
No, not anytime soon, hopefully.
Anyway, so I'm going to get that out of the way. We also have
another thing going on with Sandberg,
yes, this is this, this story just keeps getting worse for
Facebook.
And they're targeting her I think, again, I'm going to just
this is my version of conspiracy. Once the media got a
clue that Facebook is their enemy. And they shouldn't be
saying, hey, like us on Facebook, pushing people over
toward Facebook, where they're they're getting most of their
news from Facebook. And a lot of people get their news for
Twitter, they should be getting their news from the newspaper or
from the news reports on television. It shouldn't be
getting that from the perspective of somebody who
works in that business. I would say if I was in the TV business,
I would think to myself, Why am I promoting Facebook, we want to
be providing the news. We don't want them to be providing the
news and then taking our advertising money $40 billion of
it which is not the heloise so so they've been going I think
they're they've decided to all in concert, go after Facebook.
Ad it looks like now it's starting to look a little fishy.
But this latest thing and the wet and the one thing I think
they're really wanting to do is getting rid of Sarah Sheryl
Sandberg. She may well be He's so important to the company that
they she's got to go because she's,
well, as far as I'm concerned, I think she is the current version
of the company when it comes to the money making side of the
house. She was her strategy she implemented it she she brought
in, you know, the connection with the credit card information
or the data brokers brought them and she really created the
business model of lean, lean, lean in and look down your
blouse is what she did.
Lean in Yeah. Pay attention to these. So I think they want
they're really going after her but but if any of this is true,
she is a really a terrible person. But a hard ass
businesses business owners This is an example
the New York Times is reporting Facebook Chief Operating Officer
Sheryl Sandberg requested research on billionaire liberal
donor George Soros after he made public remarks critical of
Facebook in January, in which he said the company was a menace to
society. Soros is an investor in Facebook. The company says the
research into Soros was already underway at the time of Sam
Berg's request. Earlier this month. The Times revealed
Facebook hired conservative opposition research firm
definers Public Affairs to investigate and discredit
critics of the social networking site including by linking some
critics to Soros.
Yes, yeah, I think there's something else going on here.
And this is a Jew thing. I just saw no other way to describe it.
And this is why you know, Zuckerberg is under fire.
Sandberg is under fire, because that we just went through this
whole thing with the conspiracy theorists to explain that
they're all anti Semites and Jew haters, because they're going
after Soros. There's entire countries. I'm looking at you,
Hungary, entire countries that hate the Jews hate George Soros.
And then you can't sell it to yourself that ad Jews running
Facebook have done this same thing. So I think it's above and
beyond the business dealings. It's
personal. Well, what you're suggesting
is the Jew hating meme doesn't work if it's Jews,
correct? Yeah. But so you got to
get rid of the Jews at Facebook to make the meme work to get rid
of Facebook. Facebook is a threat. This is a menace to
democracy. I think it is.
It's not the only thing that's a menace to democracy. But yeah,
it's definitely the front runner, or was the front runner?
For sure. For sure. Well, I think this is getting really
deep it really something up? Well, they've been trying to
blame this on. I think her deputy or someone is trying to
take the fall or jumping on the grenade for everybody. But I
don't think the media is having any bit of it. We need better
reports,
we need more money. But you know it this also reflects your old
thesis. And I'm not I've never been against this thesis of if
the media builds you up to the same people that bring you down
and they build her up with that book. And all she's great. She's
on all the talk shows. She was like 60 minutes. Wait, build her
up to be a superstar.
So the the theory I have? Yeah, so I'll reiterate the theory
that I have, which I've witnessed myself is whenever you
use the media, for your own personal gain or for promotion,
or something that you want to accomplish, when it's time and
you don't know when it's going to happen, and something will
take place and it always comes back with equal force. Sometimes
it may feel even stronger to you. And this happens to
everyone who uses the media for promotion, everyone and in
little in little increments that happens to people on Facebook
the same way you know, I got all these likes of these likes,
everyone loves me is fantastic. You do one little thing wrong.
You get hammered down into depression. You want to go kill
yourself. This is just the nature of media. And I think
that's exactly what we're seeing with Neil deGrasse Tyson. Ah,
segue Hey, I finally did one.
And this is where you take over. Well, Neil deGrasse
Tyson. Yeah. I don't know if I have any clips on this. I should
do I I thought you had a clip and Neil deGrasse Tyson cracks
me up. Because now all of a sudden he's
a rapist.
But didn't we know this wasn't a story about him at UT in the
80s. Wasn't this well known? This is not a new story. I mean,
we've I'm pretty sure we've talked about this
Well, if you look at old old
pictures of him where he looks like, you know Superfly
that said you t he does look like Superfly he actually kind
of looks cool. It looks like he could fit right in with the Mod
Squad. You know, he's got the guy that link haircut. Yeah.
Modsquad ish. That's yeah,
look very cool.
But there's one that gets
apparently two or three women have accused him of harassment
and wanted to choose him of rape. Yeah. And so now they're
everyone's apparently these are not new, actually accusations.
They've just been swept under the rug because he's, you know,
National Geographic and one of the network's you know,
Yeah, hold on a second. It's Fox, I think was it was oddly,
it was Fox and national just Fox own National Geographic.
No, they don't I don't think it was Fox was a fox. Yeah,
that would this. Let me see I have the story here. And I
thought that was odd to this. Why Why was Fox looking at maybe
Fox had that dad did his grant his show that clone of the old
Carl Sagan show? I think Fox that was a network for that.
Hmm,
let me see.
I have the report. Ever seen him on Fox News?
No, no, no, absolutely not. I'm trying to I'm sure I read that
somewhere. See? No, well, maybe not. In this report. I read it
somewhere that it was it was it was also Fox News. But well,
Fox, so not yet Fox stations. Okay, that makes sense. A fox is
not fun. But then I guess the other accusation is that in this
comes from 2009, that Dr. Caitlin Alors, Associate
Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Bucknell
University, said she was quote, felt up by Tyson at an after
party following a meeting of the American Astronomical Society,
and then access some photos of her. And him, you know, he's
looking at her to her tattoo. And apparently, she he, you
know, moved his fingers up the tattoo was I don't know, but
someone's out to get into Sure. That that it's sketchy. You
know, I mean, the rape allegation? I think that's been
out for a long time. And I don't know, it's just someone's out to
get him. But what, who? And why is unclear to me. But I'm always
thinking, well, if it's like going to the, you know, the
National Geographic Channel level and Fox station level,
does this have to do with an acquisition? Is there some other
business dealing that could be you know, could be in trouble.
Here it is, in exchange for, in exchange for $725 million. The
National Geographic Society passed the troubled magazine and
its book map and other media assets to a partnership headed
by 21st Century Fox, the Murdoch controlled company that owns the
20th Century Fox Movie Studio, the Fox Television Network, and
Fox news channels. Thank you, did you guru and that would make
sense. And this is all in play. Maybe it's knocked the price
down a bit. Is the Disney deal. All done? Is there still
something that has to happen? This is this has something to do
with devaluing the asset to some degree. That's what it feels
like to me.
Yeah. Well, that's what you want to do. Yeah. Well, it's working.
I think the story is catching
on help that guy out. But I mean, no, who cares? Is he a
douchebag or not? That's the question.
I think is can we lower the price of the of the acquisition?
That's that's the question going on here. Please, please.
deGrasse Tyson's unimportant in this
and maybe he would say that though.
So the the Miami Herald is reporting on the Jeffrey Epstein
story continues. It's a multi parter. I didn't realize that
keep publishing keep publishing new video. Yeah. Of these girls.
Seems that they're going after Bill Clinton more than anything.
Yeah.
So at first, I thought this is clearly going to go after who's
the guy Acosta who works at
what do you see work in the Trump Acosta?
Yeah, yes, the sports guy. He works at the he's in the Trump
administration. He's in some I forget which, which department
he's in. And he's the guy that basically helped Epstein get
this really reduced sentence but then they pull in and this was
the best Alan Dershowitz who's in in, in the in the filings of
whatever lawsuits are coming out or whatever. expos A is taking
place before our eyes. One of these girls claimed she had sex
with Alan Dershowitz six times. Either on Lolita Express or
Island dude
I mean yeah, that's Mr. Dershowitz you're having sex
with Oh, really? That's been less you want to do so I'm I'm
number five Health and Human Services. That's a cost. It's
really like me,
and you, but that's sick man. I mean, Alan Dershowitz. So this
guy, and I'm Bill Clinton, but Trump was also on the plane. And
he's on the plane once. There's no evidence here, we're on the
island like Clinton did.
True. And also, but what's interesting is that there's no
mention of Trump in this expos day at all ever anywhere. And
it's so easy to
the Trump bring him in on things. I think it would
discredit the report.
Yes, it was real reporting, because what you're saying? Yes,
which is weird. Well, this has to be a hit. I have to say that
if Dershowitz
who like
it's to me, why do I care what who Dershowitz? what he's up to
in his spare time.
It has to be a hit piece.
I think ever since Dershowitz turned into a Trump apologist.
That's where the hit piece comes in. Yeah.
I think that there's Okay. Well, Alan, we've been counting on you
to be to be just a progress because he's always been a
progressive, like, hyper liberal progressive, with really strong
legal reasons for taking his positions. Now he's a he's doing
the same thing, but he's on Trump's side. No, no, no, this
isn't gonna fly. Let's get it.
You know what he seems like the obvious one absolute. He also
defended Epstein, in the initial 2008 trial, I think it is, and
helped get him the the fantastic deal. Of
course, it was possible that all he was as a lawyer going back
and forth with Epstein never took part with anything. And
they just found one girl who'd say anything. And there are
of course, yeah, of course, of course. But either way, then
it's the six
times thing is the thing it gives me is I really get a notch
on your belt to six times a Dershowitz. I don't even think
these girls not to demean them. But I don't think any of them
knows who the hell Dershowitz is. Let alone keeping count,
right? Come on. 1413 1415 year old, you know, in some,
well, but they're also these accounts are coming 10 years
later. So now now there's one to talk years later. Yeah, they're
talking about it now. So this is a I don't believe I'm just not
buying it. I just think that you can't remember from 10 years
ago, and then remember the exact number of times or even remember
anything because you're probably in a drugged stupor? Well, you
remember it. You had sex with Alan Dershowitz six times 10
years ago when you were drunk the stupid job? Anybody? did?
Why are you why are you really gone hard and heavy on this? Got
it?
Well, I'm going because I just think this is the setup to get
Dershowitz. This doesn't mean
yeah, that's, I agree. I don't care. What,
you break it down a little bit.
I know. It's just like, wow, okay. Oh, I
know, I was never invited to the island was good. That
was gonna be my, that was gonna be my next question. Thank
goodness. Well, while we're on the promotion or demotion of
public figures, we have a very poor showing at the Bill and
Hillary show. As they are going around the nation on theirs.
They're I think it's 13 city tour. And the first stop, they
had they had a like a was like a 15,000 seater, and they only had
three and a half 1000 People in the arena, which is just never
good no matter what kind of show it is. But NPR had an
interesting, interesting piece is that this tour, the Bill and
Hillary tour, as well as Michelle Obama's tour are being
organized by the same outfit. Can you wager a guess as to who
is managing these tours?
One of the worldwide wrestling that's one of the big tour or
close close close one of those types of guys, one of those big
gay entertainment companies.
It's Live Nation, the
guys who do Live Nation guy when I was gonna guess
Yeah, well, but that's it. That's a big change. This used
to be done by you know, very. I think Trump still organizes his
own. But you know, this is typically done by book agents or
you know, but to have agents mostly live agent that not Live
Nation to have them do it.
Nations a huge operation. Join just one, concert promoters in
the country.
Yes, I mean, if you want Jay Z and you want to
what's your name? Beyonce,
Beyonce. Thank you
Briana. join President
Bill Clinton. And they got all the cool commercials too. And
former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in an up
close and live event is a one of a kind conversation discussing
the important moments in modern history, how they shaped our
world today
John can use Pick that low. Maybe Oh, I can Oh, in the
morning, maybe it's so give us some more details about the
Clinton offense. It sounds by that voice like they'd be very
expensive.
They can be very expensive. It's a 13. City Tour mostly in
friendly territory. Live Nation says it's onstage conversations
with the two sharing stories and inspiring anecdotes. For 15.
Nine to as high as $2,000. You can participate. So that's even
more than Taylor Swift. Can be Yeah, the VIP packages are
pretty expensive.
And there's the VIP package is off the hot arch.
There's not merchandise for the Clintons. They're not out there,
sell and sell Oscar or charity. But wait for it. There's a
kicker to this. So they got no mercy. They're selling
themselves, basically. I mean, Bill Clinton had that book with
James Patterson, but that's kind of old news. You know, what
they're doing is promoting themselves to greater or lesser
degree that they haven't been selling out the venues. But
they've been getting reasonable crowds. How
about Michelle Obama,
Michelle Obama is a total Rockstar, she's on a 10 city
tour, that that is taking her all over the country. And she's
got she's got all kinds of sponsorships. She's gotten
merchandise, she's got to find your flame and keep it lit
candle for $35. I mean, this is basically a celebrity
entertainment tour. As much as it is a book tour
is the money generated any of it going to charity or to Live
Nation and
the speakers Live Nation says 10% of ticket sales are going to
community groups in the cities that Michelle Obama is
appearing. And they're also giving tickets out to those
groups and free tickets out to those groups so that those
people can experience the evening as well. So why
is this happening? How does it benefit Michelle Obama and the
Clintons to have Live Nation promoting the chore because it
costs money to pay Live Nation obviously
Live Nation gets part of the of the revenue but you know, they
are looking at themselves as able to sell out big venues. And
if you go into a big venue, you need somebody who can handle the
logistics of that. And Live Nation is the one that does that
kind of promotion. How about
Michelle with the merch with the was it the keep it lit candle?
Yeah 35 bucks
fantastic handle she's got sponsors. She's got the whole
she's she's doing it right man. That's perfect setting
slackers. They don't know what what's going on. They're over
the hill. Nobody wants to see Bill and his condition he is he
looks
like he's a half dead. And Hillary's coughing again,
although he's coughing and she's got the same. She blaming Trump
for everything. It's funny that Kara Swisher is part of it.
Maybe that would help. Yeah,
well, that. Yeah, then they are but she does all that stuff for
free. Now, it's her mistake right there, buddy. It's
yeah, duh. You think? Yeah.
But I love that Michelle Obama is just completely nailing it. I
wonder what to half?
Well, I'm gonna give you a clip of the day because I didn't know
that any of this was going on like that. Thank you. All I knew
is that that they weren't selling out the venues that the
Clinton thing I didn't know anything about Michelle and Live
Nation. That's very interesting. Cool.
I got a note from Sean C in Las Vegas. Adam and John store you
discussed about parents who are upset that they cannot join
their kids at school lunch, reminded me of a personal
experience with this at my daughter's elementary school for
a few years ago. You and I both had not heard that this was a
thing, Jon Hamm that apparently today's helicopter and bulldozer
parents go to the lunchroom where their kids are which,
quite rightly, you remarked both you and I would have found
extremely embarrassing as kids. And today that just seems to be
normal. It's a little worse than we even realize. No, that's Sean
says yes, my daughter won some contests in her class where a
parent could join her for lunch at her school. My thoughts were
along the lines of JC EDS, where I would have been mortified as a
child to have one of my parents show up but my daughter really
wanted me to come to school for lunch. So I did. When I got to
the school, I saw three to four other parents in the lunchroom.
When asked my daughter if they won the same contest. My
daughter said no, no, they're here almost every day for lunch.
In one part of the lunch room, there were two parents with two
giant pizzas, handing out slices to some kids. I asked my
daughter if that was normal. She said yeah. Their parents show up
once a week and bring pizza for him and his friends. I asked to
him and his friends. My daughter said yeah, if you're nice to
him, he might invite you over to have pizza when his parents come
in for lunch. This just totally blew my mind that this was
happening and that the school allowed it. My daughter is now
Middle School and thankfully this school doesn't allow any
parents in the lunchroom. So instead, some parents started
bringing special lunches from the fast food places and even
some fancy places and dropping them off at the school's front
office at lunchtime to have them delivered to their kids. The
special Lunch drop offs got so bad last year, the principal
finally sent home a letter saying that they will no longer
accept non medical necessity unnecessary items being dropped
off at the front office. The letter stated that in the
previous year, parents had dropped off 3600 non necessary
items and lunches at the front office to be delivered to their
kids.
Whoa. This kind of shows it doesn't it?
Well, I think what's interesting is that I thought the helicopter
parent phenomenon was from like, a couple of decades ago, and
this is worse,
is much worse.
And it's, I think it's born out of some guilt or something. And
it's clearly my generation. A little bit younger. People are
not 3540 I would
say well are nowhere do you go younger? Probably a little. It'd
be it would be nice to have that fact that letter writer, we
should ask him what his age is because he will be in the right
in the middle of that because Sean
C will let us know. But isn't isn't that not concerning? I
mean, this kind of shows you but what's wrong? What happened to
four cents for milk and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich here?
See you after school? And
find out what the Pinard billet peanut butter and jelly. We used
to have pretty good lunches when I was a kid. Now I'm talking
about the lunch my mom would make. Oh, yeah, we also see
sometimes they make a nice half sandwich. Yeah,
because he I didn't I didn't get a school lunch.
I got four cents for milk. Poor kid.
I've just I was just thinking about like, damn, I was deprived
of school lunches.
Pizza has good stuff yet. So there's this story going around.
And this is a Texas story. All right. This is a Texas story
about there's a couple of things going on that I got three clips
that relate to this. This is the Texas story about the kid James
who, whose mom insisted he become a girl. And and he calls
him Luna and he acts like a girl and dresses like a girl around
her. They got divorced. The parents got divorced for obvious
reasons. The boy that is James with the dad and Luna with the
mom who insist that it be and she's suing for custody, and the
state of Texas is kind of siding with her. And it's possible that
the guy is going to lose the kid to the mom
and we're in Texas is this dude, do you know where in Texas? I
don't have the
back end. I'll look it up while you play the clip. But this is a
play the gender dysphoria Luna and James This is a psychology
or a person who's the head of the American pediatrics and
she's discussing the details in trying to explain what might be
going on Dr.
Portela. First you observations about James and his wanting to
be Luna with his mother and James with his dad? Is this
gender dysphoria and can a six year old struggle with this
six year old child can certainly have gender dysphoria. But
James's case does not really fit that definition. A young child
who has gender dysphoria, persistently and consistently
will insist they are not their biological sex. But in this
case, James is quite happy being a boy with his father and seems
to behave an act like a girl with his mother. So there's some
red flags there.
How does this differ from children this age simply being
curious about gender?
There's some overlap. But generally, a child with true
gender dysphoria is so upset so emotionally upset by their
biological sex, that they will reach the point where they
insist it's not who they are that whereas a child who's just
experimenting they may try out different sex stereotyped
playing or or cross dressing things like this but it's it's
not a persistent or consistent habit.
What do you think will be the best thing for James in this
situation?
The ideal approach here should be with a therapist who will
objectively look at James and the very difficult situation
they're in this is a divorce situation and basically assess
what's different about when James is with mom and with James
is with dad. There are cases now I don't obviously I don't know
these parents personally but there is definitely that The
case in which some mothers in particular, can experience
gender mourning. Moms who so desperately wanted a girl, but
never gave birth to a daughter can enter a deep depression. And
that depression is only lifted when one of their sons acts in
an in an effeminate way or allows the mom to dress them as
a girl. So there are cases like this in the literature.
Wow, this is all wrong. psychosis is very interesting
case.
Apparently, the dad's living in Carrollton and the mom moved to
Dallas. Okay. So it's right in the middle of this Texas proper
Yeah. Meanwhile, another secondary thing that's going on
I'm going to clip to skip to this this is the trend of some
parents to allow the bit not to call their kids boy or girl or
let anybody know about even after they're born, and they're
referred to as babies. Yeah, I
think we talked about this the babies but we didn't have this
is the
right this was on Tucker Carlson. I hate to play this
clip, but I want to play it then I can get back to that PDF
pediatrician. After this clip plays this is Tucker of course,
he just makes light of this whole thing, thanks to see the
Arctic, but play the babies clip.
But doesn't this mean if you're gonna raise a baby? How would
you be able to change your child's diaper? Because the
second you change the diaper? Of course, you no longer be able to
pretend that there was a question about whether this was
a boy or girl you would know? Well, it's not about
pretending that
this is his liberal Sherpa girl, which is starting to become an
unfunny bit.
I've definitely noticed that gender it's about not
necessarily labeling the baby. It's about allowing the baby to
decide what gender that baby wants to be when that baby can
decide which is around four years old for it. So from zero
to four, the baby will not be labeled, the labeling theory
will not apply from zero to four years old, the baby will be a
baby, neither a boy nor girl, whatever gender that they want,
what other what other profound life decisions do we think
people are be making at the age of four? Are there any others
whether to get a tattoo whether to get married enlisting in the
military voting, drinking vodka, smoking Marlboro reds, is there
anything else that we think four year olds are ready to decide?
Oh,
this isn't actually a profound life decision. I mean,
biologically, there's nothing really going on from zero to
four in that area that affects a person's life. Biologically, the
experts say that boys and girls are all genders are alike. The
boys brain the male brain might be a little larger, the females
language might be a little bit more advanced.
John, isn't that the week goes on. But isn't that the liberal
Sherpa girl? Who does that? Because I find that very
disingenuous bit they do. But the
point is, the point is about the babies. Yeah. Now the thing that
gets me about this is the term baby. Yes. Now why do why do I
find that peculiar because this reminds me of that story. I've
told on the show over and over again, about the liberal copy
editors at PC World Magazine, who didn't like a person using
the word representative and prefer they use the word
spokesperson. Because and the rationale was spokesperson is
not a
sexist. And Representative. Representative is he said,
Well, wait a minute representative is isn't sexy.
He's got no nothing is no indication of anything. He's
just representative. And she said to him, Oh, yes, that's
true. But we want to make it clear that people note that
because spokesperson is is makes it clear that we're not sexist
representative just doesn't have it doesn't mean any
Oh, I see. So it's actual you need to virtue signal and
everything you say to not only have a politically correct word,
but to make sure everybody knows you're politically correct.
Exactly. Okay. That's exactly right. And it is virtue
signaling and that's what they Mises because what is a baby is
Scooby anything a boy girl? hermaphrodite for all you know,
it's a baby. Why do you have to use the word they be?
Your point being you could just say, baby, yeah, ah, yes, yes.
No, I totally agree with you. And you know, when you think
about it, just in simple terms like that, Yeah, makes sense.
Why don't you just call it a baby, which is what it's been
called for a while now. But to virtue signal? Yeah, that's it.
It's kind of sick. That's too Holy sick.
See the woman from the pediatrics asking about this
situation? About the this gender bending, pre adolescent gender
bending. This is gender truth commentary.
What are your thoughts on allowing children to choose
their gender?
It's outrageous look we are sex is determined at conception, by
our genetics by our DNA. When children are born, we as
physicians recognize the sex that they are by their physical
bodies. And that's what children need to be taught. You know,
some people, most of us use sex and gender interchangeably.
Unfortunately, we're now in a culture that is heavily
dominated by transgender activists, who are teaching
children as young as preschool, that sex and gender are two
different things, and that they can be at odds with one another.
So as parents and honest physicians, we have to teach our
kids the truth, people have a biological sex determines that
conception. And that never changes. It's with you for your
whole life.
Dr. Michelle cartella, with the American College of
Pediatricians, thank you so much for your insight.
Yeah, this is this is a real problem. And it's going to and I
blame Facebook, by the way, blame the internet in general.
But I think Facebook creates these groups where people get
into this circular just thing and just keep going around and
around and around. And that's where the virtue signaling takes
place. And it's all happening because of the internet somehow.
I think you're absolutely
correct. I've been I've had the internet is ruining us. Yes.
That's the real menace to democracy. Not yet. Facebook.
Yes,
it is the internet in general, because we as humanoids, some
reptile, we still have tail bones, we have no idea how to
handle what people actually are. We're just learning now, what
people are, how they, how they interact with one another and
how incredibly easy it is to manipulate people and get them
on your side for anything. And I think that I have, although I am
right on the cusp of being a part of the problem. I think I
definitely screwed up with my kid in some areas, which is
totally relatable to my generation. I think because I
didn't go to college. I didn't get the programming.
And I lucked out. Well,
I got the programming because I went to University of California
Berkeley,
but it was early. It was early days. You know, this is pre
internet. You didn't get the internet program not convinced
to that. Okay, well, maybe
it was experimental period. I'm not sure.
You seem to be doing okay, though. Well, I
get snapped out of it. I was the unreconstructed hippie as the
guy who didn't snap out of it did most of the guys who went to
these? Well, actually most of them, my generation has a lot of
people I'm like the every time I run into people from my high
school class and others and people that went to this
colleges during my era. I find it very interesting. You're
gonna find this weird. IMF I'm the optimistic one.
I don't find out where they're depressed. They're depressed and
negative. Yep.
The negative the negativity of this group Yeah. All baby
boomers is it's like it takes me back a go. Oh my god. I hope I
don't sound like this. Well,
you know, they do call you the cranky geek and the Buzzkill.
Yeah, and I compare myself to the true models of this and I
don't even hold a candle to these people.
Wow, this is like your lip Joes to I guess they also have the
same depressed feeling and they're negative and
I think so. Yeah. Okay, so Well,
I know that the programming I got was pre internet, but it was
definitely
different.
Well would have been at Amsterdam programming. Totally
the Amsterdam programming.
Absolutely them now.
Yeah, I got I got out in time. I'm actually just a lucky
sumbitch aren't I? I'm just really, really lucky.
I'm gonna show my school by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Let me read this first one
started with Adam and John will continue in the future and Sirpa
funk at the top of the list. And 150 bucks.
Let me let me just address sir, sir. It's actually sort of P
funk. And this is weird, says puff. I know it does. Yes. Last
night at the memorial and Angie's celebration of life.
There was the no agenda listener and Brian's first name was Brian
I can say that and maybe I misunderstood but what I thought
is he told me that he had been trying he'd been hit in the
mouth by Sir P funk and Sir P funk always gets a kick out of
the fact that we say pa funk which is apparently incorrect it
sir P funk. And that sir P funk is also the person who clipped
the orange MAN bad. Jingle, Orange Man bad and he would love
getting a credit for it. And I'm like, oh sure that's no problem.
I'll do that tomorrow. That's that's really nice. But now, sir
P funk donates and says Hey, Adam, thanks for aiming to
Chicago and hanging out with me so did I miss understand it? Was
he sir P funk? Does he have a split personality? Is that two
guys?
Well, it used to what is his name? Brian.
Okay, here's the note from P funk. Please use my knighted
name syrup, puff funk and not say my real name and it's not
Brian Rao. So
maybe sir P funk was there to me. I didn't know it.
In fact, his name
is is the letters are the same as P funk or puff funk. Well,
that's really strange. So I'm confused. But anyway, I want to
say in the morning to Brian and also in the morning to serve P
Funk For apparently angklung hanging out with me. It's P
funk.
Funk. Funk is he writes it I got it written down here. I
know but I was told last night that this is it's P funk, not
perfect.
I think we deal with two different people. He's looking
at in puff onx note, just thanks for aiming to Chicago hanging
out with me. Edie has such a good time, John. What can I say
to the light of my life rather than keep trolling, Adam? Maybe
it's true, I don't know. But anyway, thank you. And nice to
meet you, whoever you were.

That's right. And thank you all. Also under the $50 level, this
is for anonymity when people want it or they usually would be
$49 4999. But we have our our subscriptions here 30, threes
and your 11 elevens your 1212. And I actually got a nice note
from producer Robert. And we it becomes interesting to me how we
see Knights and Dames are just producers in general trying to
hit their spouse in the mouth and get them to listen to the
show. And this one stuck out greetings, gents. I finally hit
my wife in the proverbial mouth during a long holiday road trip.
At the end of the podcast, my wife said, wow, it's all become
very clear now. Now, Robert, of course, thinking that, though
your words enlightened her that will be us to the manipulation
and general bull crap of the world inquired as to what she
found most interesting than here's what she said. Well, I
received a call this week from the boys elementary school
principal. He had concerns about the boys running around the
playground de douching and knighting kids who gave them
dollars to do so on the playground.
Do you think that's true? What do you think that's true?
So the douching and knighting kids who gave them their milk
money apparently.
Hopefully this is just a joke.
Think the wife has got a creative idea there but it's not
there's no way of going in any school.
I need to know for sure. It's just fantastic. Well, Ben de do
yes. Thank
you. Oh, you spend your milk money dammit. forex.org/jobs
jobs and jobs for job. Karma.
Today is the second of December 2018. as we wind down the year
we have three birthdays for today on our list Kevin
Silverman turns 40 on his 40th trip around the sun on the 14th
nice and early sir crash em take DMT turns 46 Today I believe and
Stephanie Sprague former MSM her 50th birthday today we say happy
birthday and of course from all the staff and management at the
best podcast in the universe. And we do have this one
knighting and if it's if it's wrong and we may have to do a
black Daming you never know what will happen I had my travel
sword How about yours?
I got it. Yes Perfect.
All right, Kim your step on up to the table here. Hey, you're
very welcome with the round table the no agenda Knights and
Dames and we're gonna put you in a nice harnesses. That's what
we've decided to collect least since we couldn't find your
email but we are very proud to thank you for your support of
the show in the amount of $1,000 or more and pronounced the Kate
you sir. Chem your night of the no agenda round table for you.
We have hookers and blow rent boys and Chardonnay. We
got to keep those into key. Yeah,
we got David releases live on cello and salmon. We got
trophies and tire smoke. We got fish pie and fellatio, Red Hat
and rise organic macaroni and plasticizers beer and blondes we
got Brazilian hotties and Kashia. And we have breast milk
and pablum ginger ale and dribbles and of course, mutton
and meat all at the roundtable, go to no agenda nation.com/rings
And Eric, the shill will help you out. And you've given me
your measurements for your ring, we'll get that off to you as
soon as possible. And this is all part of our value for value
model. It seems to be working good enough for us since you
know you can't really monetize the network. And we're seeing
that now with a big article in the Wall Street Journal about
Costco of power, you know, all this, all these things were
purchased by Verizon, AOL and HuffPo. And I was at Engadget
and they there was that $7 billion they spent on this. And
it seems like they can't really make the advertising work. And
now they're trying to do subscriptions for stuff. Oh,
good luck with that it's going to fail so poorly. It's going to
fail Bigley. I mean, because it's, it's not going to work.
It's not going to work.
You know, people don't want to subscribe to anything. I mean,
we have our subscribers. It's a voluntary system, which is
really sustaining donations, not a true subscription. Right? It's
a sustaining donations. And there's an we have a moderate
number, and I would say moderate is not a lot. We do have a lot
we do have a lot of $5.33 33 sustaining donations we do. But
it's not enough to, you know, if it wasn't for the big donors,
and all the random donations would really would not be enough
to sustain the show. Don't assault. I'm not gonna
dissuading anybody, because I think it's a good baseline that
you can add on to but it's not. And I see these other people try
it. You can, you know, we'll just keep doing the show. If you
give us a $1 a month is all we asked you pin. We already saw
that that doesn't work. I started doing this show, we had
some low, we had $2 a month, I think was our thing. Yeah, it
was it was obvious, it wasn't gonna work.
You know what's interesting, we're talking about the internet
and how we get canceled automatically, that kind of
thing. We're taking what what has happened is people have
taken their old world thinking pre Internet, and I've just kind
of, you know, transpose that onto the internet world. And the
thinking that people will hack what happened and the people the
thinking that people would give you money, random amount based
upon what they value your product that is seen as not job
your Are you crazy, is that? What a headshake? Are these
morons? But little did we know that once you do that the guy
that you were previously or GAO, were previously asking for $1?
to chip in, you say, what was it worth to what was worth $5? Oh,
I didn't know that. And people really want to do it. It's a
it's a sustaining model for the future. Now, does it keep you on
your toes, because you and I don't have a regular income, of
course it does. Every single time I sit down to prep and do
this show, I'm thinking about, I gotta do the best thing I can
do, I got nothing else, I have nothing else to go on, I have to
do the best. Because I can't get fired by any organization. And
people just stop sending money. If they find no value in the
product, it's real simple. But for some reason, people can't
get over that hump of seeing that the human beings are not
just drone, drone money payers, you know, their little piggy
banks, you can you can be surprised what people want and
what they will do.
You can't use the old models. And the old models before the
internet included, which is the what the newspapers had nothing
but struggled with is you can't with a newspaper or a magazine,
when I was trying for PC Magazine, they'd have 500 600
Page issues that were bloated with advertising because the
whole thing was like, you know, it was like a world in itself.
And those ads were selling for 20 3040 $50,000. And they had,
they're making millions and millions of dollars a year,
which was great. Because you get to travel a lot. And there's a
lot of things you could do with that money for to make the
magazine better. But when you didn't go to online, it's not a
little world anymore. It's a page one loan page and maybe go
to another page if something interests you, but you're not
opening a magazine and you're not going through it is the
whole thing is so different. You can't make that kind of money.
No.
Well, that's also the realization is that, you know,
the the idea of hey, I'm a radio guy doing a podcast, I'll make a
million dollars a year that's just not gonna happen, but
turns out, I can pay rent, eat
now and so I think we get exactly what we deserve. And
that's okay. That's the model. That's the post modern media
model. If you don't mind me patting ourselves on the back
for it
no
All right we've done or we've done well enough to keep doing
it so I have I want to go back to this clip here at I thought
we played but this is a Janice Atkinson clip is one you played
I have another just I did hate to revisit but I'm gonna revisit
this this is because I don't know what to say on this clip.
It's probably gonna be probably the same clip it's probably the
same clip
No, no the Janice Attica No, because I have to Janice
Atkinson clip okay, what this odd ball speech about migration
compact 2025 Is is the is different. That's what it is.
Okay,
listen, vote. Okay. The EU and across the developed world. No,
it's the
same. Remind. Yeah. So listen to time is exactly the same. So I
clipped it twice
when you just named it differently.
I was That was bad. Okay. Well, yes.
I do have an oddball report on something just as a democracy
now story. It's one of those baffling stories. Why is this a
story? I never heard it these companies. I don't know anything
about it. Is this something this is virtue signaling? or is this
some code? I don't know what it is. But this is the oddball
report on Mike digital.
The digital news publisher Mike has laid off most of its staff
after being acquired by bussel digital group, the company which
positioned itself as a video driven media outlet for
millennials has been steadily losing viewers over the past
year the company employs around 100 people.
All right. What did they what did they publish? Tell me about
Mike.
My see.
I don't know this is a publication. I never heard of
it, either. And why is this a new story?
I don't know.
Other than we're doing fine over here. It's democracy now. I
mean, what else could it be?
I have no idea. I find it to be this screwy story they've ever
toured that they've done probably in the last few months.
Just a non-stories a bubble media. Some of somebody's bought
them out that I've never heard of them either. And they come
in, there's lots of little companies that are in this, you
know, that are trying to make a living, right.
But the first thing I thought was, oh, neener Neener. Look,
this millennial stuff ain't work. And we're still good with
our geriatric ads. That's the first thing that came to my mind
for democracy now at least.
Well, didn't have as far as I can tell any advertising.
But they don't. They don't have sponsorship.
Did I know of? Isn't it on PBS? I've never seen an ad ever. I
think they try.
It doesn't air on PBS.
It airs on PBS
and free speech TV.
Yeah. But on PBS, they have ads. I don't know what
Democracy Now. Yeah, they do have the pedestrians for the
network. I don't know if they individual. I don't know, I
demand that investors get to and they have a huge list of donors
that never think I demand
that investigation into this new credit roll for the donor. I
want to know who Mike is. And I want to know, I want to know,
Mike Dodd, I want to get right now and bottom of this to the
gate to the gate.
Hello, climate gate. Yes, is that time again, ladies and
gentlemen, for the eighth year running. Al Gore will once again
try to save us in the upcoming days, December 3 through fourth
who will be the 24 hours of reality. And this will be about
the reality of climate change how we're all going to die this
as well. I have a little intro from NPR Al Gore was kind enough
to drop by and to tell us and when I say tell I mean, tell us
because what what have we learned when HE CHUCKLES that's
his tell
next week, former Vice President Al Gore's Climate Reality
Project will broadcast a 24 hour streaming video special calling
attention to the public health impacts of climate change around
the world. In the decades since Gore started sounding the alarm
about manmade global warming, global greenhouse gas emissions
have continued to grow despite warnings from reports like last
week's National Climate Assessment. Well, Al Gore joins
us now from New York, Vice President Gore. Thanks for
joining us. Welcome to here now.
Well, thank you very much, Jeremy. It's my pleasure.
So this is going to be
the eighth annual 24 hours of reality broadcast. Do you feel
like as a planet, we've made a lot of progress since you
started doing this eight years ago? Are we basically in the
same position or worse? Well, we
have made a lot of progress. One has to add, unfortunately, that
the climate crisis is still worsening at a faster rate than
our progress in developing
of we love the tail. So what was the lie here that it's going at
a faster rate? Is that the lie that he just told
ourselves? Well, we have made a lot of progress. One has to add,
unfortunately that the climate crisis is still worsening, at a
faster rate than our progress Some developing solutions. But
we're gaining momentum. And as a, as the late economist Rudy
Dornbusch, once said things take longer to happen than you think
they will. And then they happen faster than you thought they
could. And we're seeing exponential change now in
renewable electricity generation electric vehicles. And what we
really need is our changes in policy to accelerate these
positive developments that have begun.
Right. So it's all about policy to accelerate everything
positive that has been done, which is pretty much solar and
wind power. And I think if we are going to watch this 24 hours
of reality, and I will definitely check in, it will
probably be a lot like this second segment.
So then how big of a problem is it that the President of the
United States says that he is not a believer in manmade global
warming?
Well, it's certainly a problem when he tries to dismantle the
Clean Power Plan and the auto mileage improvements. And
although I think Volkswagen did just fine enough on those Thank
you very much
tonight, so the study of particulate pollution, which is
a deadly health threat connected to the pollution that is
generated along with global warming pollution, okay,
hold on a second. particulate pollution, global warming
pollution. This is these are terms that are, I don't know if
we've heard them exactly like this, but certainly not all in a
row from Al Gore. Remember that the basic premise is too much
co2, carbon dioxide. Now we have particulate pollution and, and
global warming pollution. John helped me out.
Sorry, power plant Island.
This is really egregious what he's doing here. He's just just
spooning up all kinds of terms,
and then the auto mileage improvements and eliminates the
study of particulate pollution, which is a deadly health threat
connected to the pollution that is generated along with global
warming pollution. And it's a problem when he says to the rest
of the world, he wants the US to pull out of the Paris Agreement.
But there is another dynamic underway. Donald J. Trump is now
the face of climate denial. His is the voice of climate denial.
And for the minority in the country that still invest their
their hopes and faith and trust in Donald Trump, they're not
likely to be a part of the solution to the climate crisis
for some time yet anyway. But for the two thirds and more who
are signaling that they have had enough of Donald Trump, I think
it is making it easier for people who associate him with
the nonsensical views that he articulates to re examine the
facts and to say, as some conservative colonists have done
recently, well, wait a minute, we've taken another look at this
climate crisis. And it's a, it's an existential threat, we've got
to do something about it. So I'm hopeful that the Trump years
will be over sooner rather than later, at the very least, that
he will not have a second term and the groundwork will have
been laid for a dramatic improvement in our policies to
accelerate progress,
know where to go out. Well done. So I like this. I like the idea
that because he certainly has convinced most of the world,
certainly also conservative journalists that Trump is nuts,
that they're now re looking at the information and go back into
check it and see what's going on. And let's just wind it up
with the third. Well,
before we go too far away from the I do have my Australian
climate change protests.
Can I play the last Gore clip and then we'll do you play
whenever you want. I just want to make sure you don't ignore
it.
Oh, shoot, let's let's interrupt it right now.
No, I'm saying that because you're about to end the show.
No, I heard your your your button was moved. Your hand was
slow that can hear it was crawling towards the place?
No, I have one more outdoor club,
but we're gaining momentum and we're getting close closer and
closer to one of these political tipping points. Ah, public
opinion changes significant. We saw that in the Civil Rights
Movement earlier the women's suffrage movement in recent
years in the fight for gay and lesbian rights and when these
This is
fantastic. So he's equating this to these other big fights we've
had that we all have
agreement on parent moral issues are revealed to be a binary
choice between what's right and what's wrong. Public opinion can
shift pretty quickly. And in this case, Mother Nature is
speaking up pretty powerfully with the tragic fires in
California, not only the ones earlier this
year in November, but Mother Nature started the fires.
So earlier in the year, Hurricane Florence in the
Carolinas hurricane,
I thought it was an it was explained to me many times it
was started by a camp fire on camp fire road, what is it? It's
it's climate change. That's the problem now
pretty powerfully with the tragic fires in California, not
only the ones earlier, this late in November, but also earlier in
the year, Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas, Hurricane Michael
a year ago, Hurricane Harvey, the list of catastrophes that
are clearly linked to climate and climate, in the mind, minds
of the public, are persuading more people than any of us who
are advocates for solving the climate crisis could could hope
to do.
Yeah. Yeah. Always. And for one
thing, I guess, do, we have to revisit some of the climate gate
stuff, you know, which really took it off the track right
away, when these guys were faking their numbers that didn't
revisit how computer simulations work, and how they can't be
trusted under any circumstances model. Now, the models add up
too much, or any of these things that are kind of contrary or the
fact that there's like 30,000, scientists signed a note about
this being questionable and should be thought about
differently, or the, or forcing certain networks like PBS to not
take anybody on as an expert, or that might have some other
opinion, or the guys who have testified before Congress and
shown that one thing that you think is going on is not going
on this just ignore every one of those things and just listen to
Al Gore, who's not a scientist by any means. And it's just to
me, it I think there's some sort of a test going on.
of intelligence, you all ability. Yeah.
If we can sell the public on this. And so they go all in and
they screw themselves by, you know, removing me, that's what
like what's going on in France, shutting down those nuclear
reactions?
That is crazy. That's the craziest thing. Whatever,
France?
Yeah.
It's like, you know, okay,
did you hear just to stray a little bit off topic, and I will
play your Australian clip. The Germans, apparently, I think I
have a clip of it. Yes. The German finance minister Olaf,
Olaf Schultz, proposed that France give up its permanent
seat on the Security Council at the United Nations.
This is an absolutely scandalous idea for the French mission here
at the United Nations. Although the French mission doesn't want
to comment on the record. As a whole, the former UN ambassador,
French ambassador to the UN and current French ambassador to the
United States has tweeted about this, though, and said that it's
actually legally impossible, because it would run it counter
to the very Charter of the United Nations. And so changing
it would be politically impossible. So that is on the
record. But I can tell you that the French mission here,
Pfizer's a very touchy subject, they certainly would not want
France to give up its veto wielding seat may appoint out on
the Security Council.
Do you believe that? I mean, it's Germany looking for World
War Three by suggesting these kinds of things. So this
is the this is showing the true what's really going on with the
EU. Yes, rebuilding the German Empire. Yep. The mistake they're
making. And the even suggest this is that with France on it
was just about the Security Council with France and Germany
both both on I believe Germany's on it, both on the Security
Council, which is a body is very small body of only you can look
them up how many countries are on it. They right now have
essentially two EU members on the Security Council and that
gives them two votes instead of 110. So why would they want to
get rid of that second vote? I mean, it doesn't make any sense
if you think about it logically, if the EU is what it purports to
be, but if the EU is just a rebuilding of the German Empire,
as as a
Germany is not just Germany is not on the council. China,
France Russian Federation, United Kingdom, United States
are the permanent members. And currently for the two year term
of non permanent members, Bolivia, Cote d'Ivoire, Ecuador,
Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, the
Netherlands, Peru, Poland and Sweden.
Well, that makes it even more interesting, doesn't it now. So
the E, besides the floating members like the Netherlands,
you have the what you have France as the really the
representative of the representative of the
EU. Yeah, which is exactly what, what what? Well, Germany has
appointed that this Germany is proposing at Germany is
proposing that France give up their seat to the EU.
Which means giving it up to Germany? Of course it does.
Its interesting moves a lot of stuff going on, including
climate protests, climate change protests in Australia
and Australia. 1000s of students walked out of class today to
design on climate change on a nationwide student strike.
Well, I think our government needs to take more action on
climate change, so that our generation and our kids
generations and their kids can have a future that's sustainable
and healthy and a planet that we haven't destroyed.
students of all ages are calling for their government to stop the
construction of new coal mines and move towards 100% renewable
energy by 2030. The protests come as Eastern Australia is
experiencing record breaking wildfires with close to 200
separate fires identified this week. So here
we are, I have the same situation they somehow been
goaded into this. I don't know I don't even have any comments to
make any more about the whole thing. You're gonna break the
back of the poor. This is an anti, you know, break the back
of the poor by having the these energy sources that are
extremely expensive removed. Ganas, just like it's not
affordable, affordable to view anybody that's in the upper
middle classes. Sure. But the rest of the world is just can't
afford these these wind power and solar is not a cheap
mechanism. No one ever. You put some solar panels on your house
in Arizona, and you can probably beat out to local power lines.
That's true. But those panels aren't cheap to begin with.
Let's end on a high note. John will end on a high note for the
show. And we'll take it home with a promotion for a rival.
We're going to a promotion for a new CNN series that will all be
watching
designed to save our democracy, but now it is a political weapon
is dangerous. CNN Fareed
Zakaria asks, What happens when the country really needs to
impeach the president is on your fire Sunday night? Yeah,
the impeachment show. A full series on CNN. Yeah, it's gonna
be fantastic.
Oh, get yours.
It's my beat. I'll take it. Everybody. That's it for today's
deconstruction. We of course return on Thursday. And there
seems to be lots going on. We'll pull it apart for you. As best
we can. Oh, football, is football. Well, you can do a
football report. And yeah, we're flying back tomorrow. So I'll be
back in the studio in SEMA region six on Thursday and until
then, the coming you from the home of the Jackson Five they
are right near Gary, Indiana in the every room is a Mini Suite
Hotel in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley. Well, I'm probably have
closer access to a Chicago hot dog than he does. I'm John Cena.
We return on Thursday right here on no agenda remember us at the

This is exciting. We've come to a position where we're in the
New World Order, toughness, fiber, Strength, Perception of
the strengths of this country of God. I understand that. And I do
think that you can't turn the White House into the Waffle
House. You got to say what you're for. Some people say he's
