Don't take off the couch channel. Adam curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Thursday January 17 2019. This is your award winning give
our nation media assassination episode
1104 is no agenda
aren't with nothing but a compass and a rubber knife and
broadcasting live from the Capitol the drone Star state
here in downtown Austin J House in the studio in the morning
everybody. I am Adam curry
here from Northern Silicon Valley where I've satiated by
sorghum this morning. I'm John C. Devorah. Raglan buzzkill
All right title right off the bat satiated by sorghum now
still on the sorghum trip, you're never going to make it
taste good.
Are you writing your little intros down?
Always okay, why?
Because the rubber knife thing I know you eat is not something
anyone would ever add live. It's funny.
You've never heard this. I think I may have used this as opening
years ago.
The rubber knife Yeah,
probably. But it's true. That's all we got compass rubber knife.
Good to get no I'm understanding the this this satirical aspect
of it. Okay. Yeah, no knives. No guns. No nothing.
Crap. Sit down. All right. So you're sorghum.
Yeah, it's I'm sorry. There's some cereal. Some German company
made some cereals got sorghum as a main element is
and most of the world eats sorghum in one store. Yes, I
think the number two or number three, it's in the top three of
the grains. We have wheat. You have rice, and you have sorghum.
And those are the big three. And you think he says in the big
three? That it would be something Americans would eat
but apparently it's just shipped to Africa.
I have so much. Well now you know, tastes like crap. Give it
to them.
It's like, is it cheap to grow? I mean, why grow it at all where
the Africans not eat wheat. They refuse to eat rice too much
traveled to boil. I mean, I don't understand why they eat
sorghum. Talking about too much trouble to boil. made me believe
you had to boil sorghum to death.
Let me look for something here. I know what to do.
We have a number of chefs, professionals, people that are
far above and beyond our cooking abilities that listen to this
show. Have they played with sorghum? I don't think so. Well,
where can I get this sorghum anywhere I want is it available?
Very hard to come by you go to Whole Foods You asking for some
sorghum the third most popular grain in the world no sorghum.
Hey, I would like some of the third most popular grain in the
world sorghum Do you have any?
Well what was well can you send me some because I just found a
Insta pot recipe for sorghum that's gotta be that's gotta be
the epitome instapot sorghum
brought bag assorted sorghum through Amazon so you can order
some good
anyway from sorghum
sorghum. Well, this is a ruined meal. Waiting.
I don't know. I've been loving my instant pot. Yeah, you
would think you already like because Insta pot.
It's not that instant because you always got a salty stuff and
then it takes 10 But
the word pot Oh, it must be good.
Oh, oh, geez. Really? Okay, it's
a cheap joke.
You want to hear a cheap joke? Yeah, Lindsey Graham. Here he
is. He was asked to speak in front of the was the team that
the President served fast food to
oh the the right the Clemson Tigers,
Clemson Tigers. So the President asked Lindsay to make a short
speech.
Well, they said be short. I started this speech short and
I'll end it short you can tell us as an educated crowd
racist
topper was not Hey, but now I found that it was semi charming.
The President went out and bought all this crap food for
this all guys. The reactions on Twitter were funny because these
men are you know they're finally precision machines of
athleticism. I could never eat such things. Anyone knows any of
these guys ever? This stuff by the time
It's like my my three months in college in West Virginia. I was
the white shadow and the football team, the Tigers, I
think they would be Hey, hey, white boy, let's go to Mickey
D's. Like, I have like eight big black football players and my
car would drive to Morgantown. Oh, yeah. Love it.
Of course they do. Love it. Love it. The thing that they
probably liked that more than some, some kind of fake gourmet,
gourmet meal that, you know, maybe some other president would
have set out for
him. I didn't I didn't clip it. And I wouldn't even have thought
to bring it up. But the President has started off by
saying something about well, you know, first I was thinking,
yeah, maybe had the first lady make some salads and the second
lady do some salads in the back, which was, you know, deemed
misogynist. I think it's just rude towards his wife. If I had
said that. The keeper would have pulled me aside at a certain
point said, Listen. It's not how you talk about me. It was
the salad maker. says like,
wow,
I'm sure you're heard heard about it.
Yeah. But that's the kind of ofI is
a good word. And you did him a favor. I'm sure those guys loved
all those because they did. Of course they
did. And he was he had Wendy's and he had Burger King didn't
have Chick fil A I just thought was a mistake could have riled
some more people up with the racist, racist sandwich.
There is no way I didn't notice any Hardee's in there. But this
Lindsey Graham, you know, he's flipped 180 degrees on his
attitude about the president. And we finally know, we finally
know what's going on. We go to MSNBC.
Before Donald Trump got elected Lindsey Graham called Donald
Trump a racist, xenophobic bigot. That is Lindsey Graham's
words. I doubt Lindsey Graham could tell you Donald Trump's
had a change of heart in the last 24 months. I bet what the
change of heart has been with Lindsey Graham, not the
President or it could be that
Donald Trump or somebody knows something. pretty extreme about
Lindsey Graham.
We're gonna leave. Oh, blackmailing him. Yes, yes, they
do. Because it's what it is. He's secretly gay. Stephanie.
That's what it is. And he's holding it over. I'm gonna out
you, Lindsey.
Because nobody knows.
There has been so much nuttiness in the news. In fact, I'm going
to go right into this clip and then I have an observation. This
is Carl Bernstein. One half of the legendary Woodward and
Bernstein duo would all journos today they aspire to be these
guys, and Bernstein is on CNN. And what
everybody can see is that he has not acted with Russia from the
United States having a strength advantage with Russia. Rather,
he has done what appears to be Putin's goal goals. He has
helped Putin destabilize the United States and interfere in
the election, no matter whether it was purposeful or not. And
that is part of what the draft of Muller's report I'm told us
about
that. So this is about the draft of Muller's reports and he Trump
has willingly or unwillingly or even heard clapper say wittingly
his favorite word has helped Putin destabilize the United
States, oh, places falling apart, which brings me to the
shutdown. If the president truly is a puppet of Putin, then this
shutdown is nothing less than an actual attack by Russia. Yeah,
we are under attack by Russia. So easy to use these things? Why
did why don't they do that?
dreamed up? These are fantastic memes. Great meme. They sit
around and they dream this stuff up. And then they say let's roll
these talking points.
Do this. They didn't do this one. They didn't. I mean, this
is an obvious one. They didn't sit down and say, Hey, wait a
minute. We can call the shutdown. We can call it an
attack by the Russians. Yeah. Oh, they
did? Well, yeah. George, listening to our show some
people some go into the pot and come out as a talking point.
Putin's puppet.
Speaking of the Russians, sir Jean, the Earl of Texas, the
sheriff? Yeah, he's the he's Earl, Earl Jean, Sheriff of
Texas, something like that. So he celebrated the Russian New
Year last Sunday as he does every year. I didn't know they
had a new year of their own. Yes, Gregorian calendar. Okay,
and here I am. I'm like, Well, okay, but does it always fall
like around the 12th or the 13th? Is it always on a Sunday
so like no Gregorian calendar. Took me a while to to get the
concept that it may not be completely in sync with our
calendar. So he celebrated that
at Russia. Is he an Orthodox Christian?
He celebrates the New Year on that day. I don't
know if he celebrates all New Years.
Well, where there's vodka, there's Jean. But I tell you,
it's Russians, this you would have loved this. This dinner, he
brought him just people, crazy, interesting people, like guy who
was one of the founding partners of gothy rancor. And he told me
about how this whole deal with Anthony Robbins came together,
which really wasn't Anthony Robbins idea. They had some of
these materials. And they they packaged him into the very first
power Talk series. Which I thought was an interesting
story. Well,
against the rank rancor is a notoriously good marketing
company for doing that sort of, it's not it's abnormal marketing
is done. Kind of a over television. It's kind
of Yeah, it's the infomercial that they really pioneered the
infomercial, I would say,
but I don't know they I would have asked him specifically
about Barry betcha and his influence on the infomercial,
but that's another
no then I will ask him. Yeah, because he's an awesome. The
best part though, this Russia house man, those guys know how
to do it. Right? We had a waitress, and you gotta imagine
she had like, just a 70s Austrian porn. Imagine that
right? Bone, pound pound pound pound, pound pound bow. And she
had an amazing outfit with short pants. I swear to God, she she
had the white, you know, the little made like, thing on her
head. And everything's black. And then as she backed away from
the table, it was, you know, cut off your hike, hike off show in
her legs. It was it was just completely odd.
Just I said genius style in Moscow.
I said, Jean, you should invite her to the wedding. He's like,
Yeah, well, I said, but she has to wear that outfit. I don't
know if that's gonna happen.
I think the keepers gonna love that idea.
was her idea. All right, so this Muller report. Turns out, it's
going to be a big dud. Now everyone's getting you
out. Hold on a second. First of all, we're in this. Right now
we're in the moment where there's talking about it coming
out to be this Muller report is never going to come out for at
least a year.
I'm all in with that. But they have you know, before Christmas
they were all praying, like, and this for give us a great
Christmas gift. Bob Muller, Bob. And I found this to be this.
This was repeated many times incorrectly, which I thought was
kind of fun. This is ABC is Jonathan Karl, with his
information on sources close to Muller.
Well, look, I mean that the story in The New York Times was
an extraordinary reflection of level of distrust between the
FBI leadership and the president. And the how
suspicious the President's behavior was that they actually
were at the to the point of investigative letters about
firing Comey the interview with Lester holes, and and actually
going to the point of investigating whether or not
effectively the President was a Russian agent. But what I am
getting is that this is all building up to the Muller report
and raising expectations of a bombshell report and there been
expectations that have been building of course for over a
year on this, but people who are closest to what Muller has been
doing have interacted with a special counsel caution me this
report is almost certain to be anti climatic that if you look
at what the FBI,
I'm pretty sure it's anti climactic.
Oh, he said climatic and climate.
Yeah, and a lot of people regurgitated climatic, but I've
looked it up it is
climactic, it is anti climactic, not anti climatic, because
that's anti climate. There's no climate
anymore to be off into space
ematic, that if you look at what the FBI was investigating, in
that New York Times report, look at what they were investigating.
Muller did not go anywhere with that investigation. He has been
writing his report in real time through these indictments and we
have seen nothing from Muller on the central question of was
there any coordination collusion with the Russians in the effort
to meddle in the elections? Or was there even any knowledge on
the part of the President or anybody in his campaign?
There you go so anti climatic? Never a correction. You'll hear
it people are so filled with climate change that this
climatic just kind of pops out. Don't even know it. Even that's
exactly what happened. Even Stephanopoulos just sitting
there like,
like he didn't say anything wrong.
So that's the Mueller rip. Report. I have nothing else on
the Mueller report. I agree with you though. It'll just go on for
years. Yeah,
he's gonna milk it as long as he can because it's free money. And
I mean, he's, you know, he's do something for a living. And it's
just a lot of power and people do there's Muller, who
still has tons of other crimes to cover up. Yeah, you can do
some 911 crimes that need the need to be covered up and taken
care of get some people out extract them
will be I have a read this a good background and this is the
the NBC trying to bring us up to speed on everything from the
everything about Trump all in 1109 minutes, the NBC lacing
into Trump about everything.
I'm Kristen Welker at the White House where the President was
focused on that Capitol Hill hearing today, with the Russia
investigation looming large over him. And it's likely Moscow is
watching too, particularly after the New York Times reported
today. President Trump seriously considered pulling out of NATO
last summer, a move that would have weakened the Alliance aimed
at deterring Russian aggression. NBC News reported at the time,
military leaders went into damage control mode to calm
jittery allies. And during the summit, Mr. Trump's stressed
about the possibility of withdraw.
I think I probably can, but that's unnecessary. And the
people have stepped up today. Like they've never stepped up
before.
It also comes as Senate Democrats and some Republicans
voted on a measure aimed at blocking the Treasury Department
from easing sanctions on three Russian companies linked to a
close Putin ally. Have you ever worked for Russia? Yeah,
never work for Russia. And you know that answer better than
anybody.
The President has also been defending himself this week
against revelations, the FBI opened a counterintelligence
investigation into him in 2017.
Now a couple of things. One, I was always told that he would
never denied saying you work for Russia, but there was a denial
on that tape. Yeah. And the other one was the whipsaw in
there where she says he was thinking about pulling out of
NATO and then they put throw to a clip where he never says he
knows it's possible. I can do about it. Yeah, but they put
throw the clip in Megan Hassan, so that's what he's thinking.
Well done. So that was chickenshit
to give her a little raise. Well done.
Yeah, I get it. Yeah, my bonus cash. Is 100 For you, sweetie. A
hundy. A hundy. Avanti, with a handshake. There it is. Puts it
in her bra. Oh, okay. sorry.org.org If you don't like.
Right, alright. So what else we have? I have another couple is
kind of another screwy clip. Democrats demanding of the
Republicans.
Meanwhile, democratic freshmen members of the House marched the
Senate side of the Capitol this afternoon. They demanded that
Republicans pass bills to reopen the government.
I demanded. These are the new the new freshmen. Oh, AOC from
AOC as well. Going over to the Senate, do they know how the
system works? At all? Well,
you know, you gotta you hand it to him for trying some stuff
out. It's not it's not a big draw. He or
she was dogging Mitch McConnell. Just follow them around. Hey,
you know, I'll get back to your own house.
Really? Yeah. Do you know any other of the freshmen? All
Democrats, I presume who are over there?
I think there's a a Republican. No, I mean, there's the three
Muslim women that are all very vocal. Yeah. And AOC is about
it. I only know about the for those for?
Well, I think it was an email thread, the URI were on and one
of our producers said, you know, the people that that that
brought her to light AOC that is Oh, yes. This is a good story.
You should read it. Yeah, that's it's Well, I looked at I looked
him up. It's the Justice Democrats. Yeah. And I looked at
this outfit there at the Justice democrats.com. Now, we talked
about AOC. Here, we're talking about AOC here. And they say
right off the bat, our mission is to elect a new type of
Democratic majority and Congress one which will create a thriving
economy and democracy that works for the people, not big money
interests. And it's really the only it is a political action
campaigns and it's a federal PAC so they, they limit how much you
can donate to them. They only did about $2 million in that's
that's kind of what they have. In look at the form 992 You can
only donate up to five have $1,000 but it's clearly some
form of group. I gotta say not a lot of familiar names in here.
From people who are running the joint, the people who are
familiar all these new Democrats that got elected. So apparently
this justice, Democrats is the outfit behind. Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez. And I actually have a clip from when they were
recruiting her on a snack. Yeah. So before she was known as AOC.
This is the caption of this video is from from Justice
Democrats before Alexandria was known around the world as AOC.
There was a movement that recruited her to run
as he called at a very potent crossroads in my life,
you hadn't thought about running for office or anything? No, no,
you got to do something.
I knew that I had to do something.
We would try to call up folks that were like doing all kinds
of amazing stuff, right? Every conversation would have a very
awkward pitch at the end. Oh, it's so great. You're like
saving lives. You're fixing stuff in your community. And so
do you want to run for Congress? No.
We are not treating climate change as though the world is
going to end in 10 years. It's great that everyone thinks these
issues are important. We need to make them urgent. What is
happening in the halls of Congress is deeply
unrepresentative of what is happening in the streets of
everyday life. Right now, with this administration with the
role of money in politics. We need to put ourselves on the
line for this. It's all hands on deck for our democracy right
now.
Yes, all hands on deck.
Evie, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
I love it when you abuse your children.
at Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
That is violet. Violet is eight years old. She wants to Island.
She belongs to Carter. And she said Yeah, Dad, I'll do that for
you. But only if I can do one about Alex Jones too. Because
apparently she hates Alex. When her dad is listening to him.
Alex Jones
a lot more to the Alex.
That's what we need from
Oscar for that one.
No agenda, kiddie Oscar. Oh, yeah, we, we need to redo we
need to say maybe just just a little more sincere. Well, well
done, though. On the pronunciation of Alexandria,
Ocasio Cortez, that's good for an eight year old. That's very
good. That's fantastic. Anyway, so this justice Democrats,
the guy who went through the email that put us on this his
his notes he said that the debt chunk was part of this
Yes, the Young Turks I can find no evidence of that in their in
the in the documentation. What I do and you'll see we can look at
their platform which is completely AOCs platform Green
New Deal living wage, federal jobs guarantee rebuilding our
crumbling infrastructure block bad trade deals, and tax dodging
and loopholes and unnecessary wars and nation building some of
this I'm bored with by the way. Medicare for all, many mean like
stop unnecessary wars and block bad trade deals. Yeah. I mean,
on that there's nothing wrong with that. See, I would
be bored then.
I was. You said you're bored with your onboard onboard, not
why they said you're bored with it now onboard tuition free
public colleges and trade schools. Bottom I'm okay with
that. Defendant expand Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
It's too broad insurer paid vacation time, sick time, family
leave, childcare, fight for racial justice, protect women's
rights, combat homelessness, law enforcement reform, okay. In
that common sense. gun regulation, voting rights. Yeah,
there's a lot in here. I like these New Democrats. I think
they're malleable? I don't think so. I mean, for the green New
Deal. The only thing that they that the AOC Dems have to be
convinced of is that and it's not that hard, actually. The
true solution is nuclear energy. And you know why everyone's been
made so afraid of nuclear energy? It's because of those
people you hate the Big Oil people have been creating anti
nuke propaganda for
decades now. I know what you mean by malleable Yes. Decades
think that you can use that. That logic? Yes, I do. To
persuade them and change their minds. Yes.
And I'm calling it because I'm feeling it and I'm seeing it
there is a convo happening. Let's see if the Convo. I got to
talk in their language man, because in case someone clicks
school yeah, I dig it. So we got to change the regs. So let's
have a convo about that. I'm seeing it. I'm seeing people
looking at this. Well, this really is a solution. And I
think yes, I think that they may be open to some logic. I will
try and present it to Alexandria when she visits Austin as a
keynote speaker at South by Southwest in March. God I know
isn't that great? So
this this Dijkstra deconstruct your own logic that I'm gonna go
with the logic and assume that the like the logic is actually
true. So what you're saying you can fight to giant oil companies
all by yourself? Me and maybe one or two of these stooges?
No, no, wait, stop. I get to respond order.
No, but
we could get it started. And it's exactly a person like AOC
who could at least break through for this one. This one is
information piece of a guy will counter the argument you don't
need let me finish my argument.
Okay, and we'll finish no I yield she is going to be shouted
down as she even tries shouted down by the same dipshit said
you know, or which
would be great for the show. So, for the show. What isn't
everything ultimately about the show? Let's be honest, I would
think so. And I think that what Pelosi has put her on the
Financial Committee under energy service Yeah, on your auntie
Maxine. So I guess Maxine got the title
old Nancy really get his daughter is she is Yeah, I got a
great idea. Let's put these two together and see what happens.
I'm sure they'll get along fabulously.
One of those. See, there's a number of of bills Zeff, who was
the billionaire publisher of Ziff Davis and during his hay
day, before he died, he was one of these guys. And he would
every once in a while he would somebody told me they
deconstructed his his executive moves, and told me about this.
And the guy who did that was accurate about pretty much
everything. Sif would like to say, say, you know, I think
these two guys hate each other. I'll make him assistant
publisher to the other guy. Let's see what happens. I
wouldn't did the way it was described to me is that you get
these people that at the billionaire level, where they
really don't need any money. They don't even care if they
burn down their own house. It's fun to mess with people. They
just like to hey, let's see what happens if we put these two guys
together. So that's what Nancy's doing. It's a great
idea. It is. Well, AOC is definitely here to stay for a
while. And I'm enjoying her. I'm enjoying her very much. And
maybe we can get some maybe we can at least get some new focus
for nuclear.
Maybe well, that would if you could pull that off that give
you kudos. If I can pull it off. Yeah, you're the one who says
you're gonna go talk to her.
Oh, that was just just using that as a bridge to let you
know, oh, I'm gonna actually go up to a Excuse me. I'm from the
no agenda Show podcast mass your question? No, I gotta do that.
But I'm telling you, this will be a topic of conversation.
Let's see if she's really pure. Then she will at least want to
look into it.
She won't. She won't do it. She's already brainwashed. Nine.
All righty. Okay, that ends that.
Now, well, I mean, you can stick with your guns on this. I mean,
I think the ideas sound and the logic is good, but I'm just
saying I don't think these people have they're not that
bright.
Yes, we know your stance on her. I'm giving her a little more
benefit of the doubt.
So we had the Brexit, the Brexit of fail. We
had breakfast. We had breakfast. We had the breakfast breakfast.
Actually, the truth wants to come out on Tuesday. This was
the BBC headline news
here. European Union officials have published a letter with
further reassurances about the draft Brexit deal that will be
put before Britain's parliament and Tuesday and a crucial vote.
That withdrawal defeat is facing. The withdrawal deal is
facing defeat.
Withdrawal defeat. Okay. All right, BBC. A little too early
on the script. Getting that we're getting there.
Yeah, I have a bunch of this.
Let's just discuss it for a moment. This was really quite
interesting. And what did you watch to follow it? What I watch
were you watching it live? I was following this live on on Sky
News on Pluto.
Oh, I was following it live on C span which was the BBC feed
Okay, so
I had sky which was was kind of fun and you had BBC interesting
yeah. And C span had really good coverage of this thing. And
let's start with the vote which was overwhelmingly rejecting
does Mays horrible proposal this Brexit the noes have it the vote
the and wait for the audible gasp eyes to the right 202. The
nose to the left 432. Right. And
I love that. Apparently the BBC guys had give all his little
details about, for example, the ones on the left of the one they
move them to left to right. Oh, yeah, he's on the right. The
right is the loser. Yes. The left is the winner. Ah, yes. To
the left is always the higher vote. So you read the right
first than the left.
Now, a couple of other things. I didn't know how. For one thing,
there's only 400 and some seats in the parliament in the House
of Commons. Yeah. And there's over 650 600 members. 650
members. Yes. So where did the rest of them go?
Yeah, the math looked a little off to me too.
Well, explained at the BBC, they had a they had some expert
explaining every little thing. And they just don't have the
place to sit. That's it. So when they have a big event where
everybody wants to come and watch, they just pack the
aisles. They sit on the floor, they're all over the place. I
didn't know that. Because half the time is empty anyway. So you
wouldn't expect the same kind of disorderly, very disorderly. But
when you hear for example, I have just a soundbite This is
the ISO. This is where they have a yes and a no vote where you do
by all in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed say no. This is the
no vote in one of these for one of the amendments. Yeah for one
of the amendments this the noes have it voice vote ISO.
I think I think the nose heavy.
Hey, how about some electronic voting over there?
So they're working on it. Then we're told that to now the nose
thing is that people don't just yell no, they yell. No, no, no.
That sounds like double voting doesn't sound right. It's this.
It's just wrong, man. No, no, no, no, it's three votes. You
can't vote three times.
Yeah. And then. So they had so I have one clip. Well, anyway, we
literally, these are just incidental clips. Let's play the
one where this is the next day, when they're just writing that
before they took the no confidence vote, which she won.
The next day they everyone's writing or for being the biggest
loss in the history of her
ever loser capital L loser.
Yeah, so here's the note. This is the UK fends off Corbyn on
Wednesdays kind of fun,
more taxes, more spending fewer jobs.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. May I start by correcting
the record? Last night I suggested this was the largest
government defeat since the 1920s. I would not wish to be
accused of misleading the house. Because I've since been informed
studies in fact, the largest ever defeat for a government in
the history of our democracy.
Mr. Speaker, shortly after the Prime Minister made her point of
order last night, her spokesperson suggested that
government had ruled out any form of customs union with the
European Union as part of a reaching out exercise. Can the
Prime Minister confirm that's the case?
Gentleman that the exercise that I indicated last night is, as I
said, about listening to the views of the house about wanting
to understand the views of Parliamentarians so that we can
identify what could command the support of this house and
deliver on the referendum. And what the government wants to do
is, first of all, to ensure that we deliver on the result of the
referendum that's leaving the European Union and we want to do
it In a way that ensures we respect the votes of those who
voted to leave in that referendum. That means ending
free movement, it means getting a fair deal for farmers and
fishermen. It means it means opening up new opportunities to
trade with the rest of the world. And it means keeping good
ties with our neighbors in Europe.
This is big speaker. My question was about the Customs Union. The
Prime Minister seems to be in denial about that just as much
as she's in denial about the decision made by the house last
night,
just to break it up for a second. I want to understand if
there is a no deal Brexit. And it's not like they're going to
send, you know, the repo man or something. They know you always
money, then I believe there's a default trade deal, which is
what they call the WTO. Rules. Yeah, they go to the WTO, which
they have with other countries already. WTO were WTO. Yeah,
they're well established. So there is something in place, it
may not be optimal or ideal, but it's not like there's nothing
and there's established infrastructures another thing I
keep hearing off. Oh, just just the technology alone, what we'll
have to do to change if we have different customs agreements
with the farms? Oh, it's gonna be horrible. Sounds like a money
Bonanza to me. But okay. So yeah, WTO rules. There is a way
to deal with that.
I understand the business secretary told business leaders
on a conference call last night, we can't have no deal for all
the reasons you've set out. Can the Prime Minister now reassure
the house businesses and the country and confirm that is
indeed the government's position that we can't have no deal?
We can't have no deal. Is that grammatically correct? I don't
think so.
I think the point of the business
is fine, because no deal stands alone as kind of a phrase,
then it was saying we can't have a no deal. That doesn't mean
he's making and that he has a right, right. Right. Good point.
Yeah, it's not that important.
Previously, if you don't want to have no deal, you have to ensure
that you have a deal. Now, I will give this I will give this
to
women. If you This is great. This is Newspeak, if you don't
have no deal, you got to make sure you got to deal what
has made previously is if you don't want to have no deal, you
have to ensure that you have a deal now,
if you don't want to have no deal, you got to be sure that
you got to deal get it got it good.
I will get this I will give this to
I will, how will you Mendell should come in do a deal or no
deal.
I will say this to the Right Honourable gentleman. There are
actually two ways of avoiding no deal. The first is to agree a
deal. And the second would be to revoke article 50. would mean
staying in the European Union to respect the result of the
referendum? That is, that is something that this government
will not
do. Please, Teresa, we all know it's headed toward that. We've
been predicting this for how many years?
Three since the beginning. Almost three now
since the vote
here is years ago. And the reason we one on three and this
is easy to predict because this is how the European Union done
the New World Order. The liberal world order does its business.
We don't like your decision. So we're just going to have a do
over they did it with the Lisbon treaty with the Netherlands with
France with Ireland do overs. Vote again Shut up all good. But
we know where it's headed. Here's Nigel Farage, the law is
very clear. 500 MPs voted to trigger Article 50, which said
we leave with a withdrawal agreement or failing that we
leave on March 29. That was backed up of course, by you
know, an Act of Parliament. So logically, legally, what should
happen is we should leave on WTO terms. So there is some faint
hope I suppose for Brexit ears. The reality of course, is that
our political class in Westminster, aided and abetted
by their friends here in Brussels, Monsieur Barnea,
particularly have been doing their best to overturn this
result from day one. What do I expect to see a stalemate,
followed by an extension of article 50? And you're right,
there will be a push for a second referendum in
Westminster, but not out in the country where interestingly,
that YouGov poll yesterday show, only 8% of people have a second
referendum as their first choice. So I think and I fear
that we are headed on a path towards delay and probably yes,
a second vote. There you
go. Well, they've packaged a little differently. And I was
hoping that he would have mentioned that the new
phraseology
Ah, well, I do have it mean in Parliament, European Parliament
I
didn't know that's just slamming people there. But I'd love to
hear that first before I played my two clips for Europe.
That 500 MPs were voted for article 50, which, of course
makes very clear that there are two years in which the
negotiated withdrawal agreement, or we just leave. And that was
backed up, of course, by the act of parliament, the withdrawal
Act, which once again says, unconditionally, we leave on the
29th of March now, Mr. President, you say there's no
support for no deal. But then you all thought there was no
support for Brexit in the first place. You might be surprised
how quickly public opinion is changing. Mr. Timmermans, you
say this would cause great harm. But if we leave on no deal if we
stick to the law, as it is, we become an independent country?
And I would say to you, what price freedom? Yeah. I'll be the
first to admit, I doubt this will happen. Because working in
cahoots with you, we have Mr. Blair, and many other leaders of
the British establishment, who treat the Brexit vote, and treat
voters in general with total and utter contempt. And there is a
great tradition here isn't there yet. We've seen it with Denmark
and with Ireland, you make people vote again. All I can say
is if we finish up with an extension of article 50 We may
well finish up fighting the next set of European elections, and
we will fight them. And if the betrayal becomes complete, and
we are forced to vote in a second referendum, you may be in
for a big surprise. The British may be a very placid people very
laid back so I promise you they get pushed too far. It's a lion
that will roar we will be even more defiant. If we have to find
a second referendum and we'll win it by a bigger majority
smattering of applause All right, so
that so that was the British describing the British that have
seemed to have all perished after World War Two from old
age. Now on a bridge if you listen to these guys on the
street is none of these guys have any spunk. Okay, they like
to work now that the thing that's being overlooked here is
that they've decided the smart money on the side of state the
lever the remainers have read just kind of redefine things
they don't want a new referendum. They don't want a
new referendum they want a people's vote.
Oh this is that's the packaging Oh, okay.
Scotch, of course are the ones behind it the most because the
Scots who are probably completely oblivious to the fact
that they'd be exploited to death because they have all the
oil which should be kept UK but the EU would love to get a hold
of it. The Scots are behind us they're a bunch of I think it's
a trader is bunch. I don't even know why they're in the UK or
why the British tolerate them. But you can hear as to Scottish
independent guys and all the rest in the in Parliament.
Got got a lot of floor time. You got a lot of floor time. This
guy?
Well, this is the guy well, this is one of theirs. Angus is no
longer there. And it would do the original Angus and he's he's
the get used to he was the best of this group. But the I got
Brexit Scots bring up people's vote one motion. That doesn't
say one.
You scare me yes motion of no confidence that should have
happened before. But of course, we will support it. Because the
speaker as I mentioned, it is clear The clock is ticking. The
government needs to secure the safety of all our nations and
should immediately postpone the article 50 immediately have
talks with all the leaders of the opposition parties, let's
work together in all our interests. But let's listen to
the voices of the parliamentarians that have been
said here, there is no support for this deal. It must come back
again, the obvious thing to do the right thing to do suspend
article 50 pointless to the people and up people. I know
that
is their people's vote. This may be something this may be this is
a different kind of deal than a referendum. Or it was exactly
the same. It's from
what I can tell it's just a repackaging of the referendum.
But the the idea is that since bromic, screwed up the thing to
begin with that we should have let the people decide let them
vote should we do you should we even leave? And the end they're
thinking there maybe should be two items on the ballot one of
them were which is a redo of the referendum. And the other one is
some some lame thing.
But these years these are the remainders who want the people's
vote Correct? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Patrick Stewart is is a member
of this group.
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me he's that he looks like the type
he lives in the United States makes his money here and he
doesn't care what happens to the UK. Brexit labour and the
people's vote to this a different member of parliament,
Parliament kind of started the thority to make sure that we can
give the people of the Country essay on this deal to resolve
this matter, it is a mess that needs to be resolved by the
people and a people's vote.
This is crazy. And people just buying this. Oh, okay. That's
not the same as a do over that's a people's vote is different.
Yeah, that's what the scheme is. Ah,
good catch.
Yeah.
I'm not sure how they're gonna get away with it.
So far, they're not getting away with it. But well, it's a
movement. It's a movement. It's a movement as far as getting
traction. I'm hearing it more and more people's vote. I like
I like the term. If you ask Gerard Batten, the current
leader of the UK independent party, that won't happen
for the European nations and freedom group, the floor now
goes to Mr. Batten, Mr. President,
we've seen two and a half years of an elaborate political
Sharada rod based on an entirely false premise, which is that you
can't leave the European Union without a deal. There never was
going to be a deal. There never is going to be a deal. We see
Mrs. Mae and her emissaries go back and forward to Brussels in
order to reach a withdrawal agreement that nobody wants. The
remainders don't want it because they don't want to leave the
levers don't want it because under it, we don't really leave
and what is the purpose of it all, which has now been extended
it is to where the British people down to the extent where
they accept defeat and surrender and the result of the referendum
is overturned? Well, for not for the first time I found myself
agreeing with something that Mr. Verhofstadt said, he said, how
to break the deadlock in the British Parliament. We need a
majority in favor of something absolutely right Mr.
Verhofstadt. And in three days, Mrs. May has to come up with a
plan B. Well, the good news is there is a plan B which should
have been Plan A in the first place, which is to repeal the
1972 European Communities Act leave the European Union under
our law, and then to tell you how we're going to repeal and
amend 45 years and 10s and 10s of 1000s of bits of legislation
under our priorities and in our timescales. Now, Mrs. Mays
should immediately resign and hand over to somebody who can
become prime minister who actually really does want to
leave the European Union and Parliament, the British
Parliament has the opportunity to redeem itself. If it betrays
the result of the referendum, then it will destroy what
remaining belief or faith there is in our democratic system,
which isn't very high to start with. But they can turn things
around if they want to. They can take the initiative, they can
stop asking you how we can leave and they can start telling you
how we're going to leave and I can tell you that the British
people will never surrender. Okay, could do
the Churchill
is it he pulled the Churchill he sounds like honestly sound like
who's the actor?
Picking up on some to
Ah, shoot the Michael Caine. That's what he sounds like
Michael
Caine bit democratic system, which isn't very high. So
if he dropped if we just draw that out a bit longer, he would
be a shoo in from Michael Caine. Yeah. You know, what is what I
find interesting, and maybe this is why the NATO thing has come
up again. And I went back and look, I could not find a single
conversation discussion, argument, or rule or anything,
even in the terms of Brexit, that we the Republic that
concerns the military. I haven't seen no debates about military
and we have this European Union military union that's kind of
popping up and we how do we do our single point procure mines?
Yeah, there's a there's something that it's not being
discussed. And I think that for a reason, and maybe that's why
Trump is is messing around with NATO. Because the NATO EU, I
mean, that's almost synonymous.
Yeah, but we're pretty much in control of it. Sure.
We are. That's why everyone's freaked out. Oh, wait a minute.
We'll be an island with no guns. We just have some skripal.
That's all we got. And what are we going to defend ourselves
with? On guns, baby? We on some chemical warfare stuff. No one
talks about it.
No. might be something worth bringing up if you had a way to
bring it up with besides me.
No, no, we're just blowing in the wind my friend.
The this whole thing was I do have a couple other side clips.
I think we've got to the gist of it, which is that this is a
problem they got they got to figure out. I don't understand
why any British person would want to be a member of the EU
because they're being pushed around. It's like you might as
well just this is like Germany's third attempt to take over the
ball here. Yes, hello. This time they got a clue they know how to
do it now. Yeah, no bloodshed.
Yeah. But But, but it is just a construct for Britain to believe
that they actually have to pay something and have all these
agreements to leave where? You know, they just say screw it. We
just don't want to do it anymore. We're out.
We're out. We quit. Yeah.
And I love how they make fun of us. Yeah, we got our problems
but not like that.
No, they. Yeah, that's true. That's really a problem. Yeah,
hold their whole existence is up for grabs. Now let's listen. I
just want to have a one I have one because I took I took an ISO
out of this clip, because this guy Berkow the guy who's the
Speaker of the House who's got that you know, it's just a Bora
Bora. You he he goes on to some woman that came by
the way and like if I just interject key could be the Judge
Judy, of the UK.
He would make make nuts about money
family. Just just raking
in billions of dollars with just indicated show raking it in just
a thought. Yeah. Now, apparently some woman came in this is the
clip by the way. I'm setting up as Brexit, the pregnant lady.
This woman comes in and she's pregnant. And she's about they
were going to deuce labor all these things are bad. She has
gestational diabetes, she's about to drop dead, but they
wouldn't let her bring a proxy in to vote. By the way, the way
the vote went, you think that you think they would have more,
you know, ears to the ground to know that the vote was going to
go this way that they have to drag this woman into vote? She
would because you voted no. And so they brought her in and she's
in a wheelchair, it was just pathetic. And she just didn't,
they're pregnant, they have to rush her back to the hospital
where she came from. And so they became an a little discussion,
but she
with the Labour Party.
There's a little discussion about this, and burka gets very
involved with it and berates everybody but in the middle of
this, which I have an ISO of who plays second, he turns to some
guy who is just giving him a little just said something and
he turns to the guy and rips him into such a fast and interesting
way that I thought it was fascinating. But this isn't the
whole clip,
baby race, because we cannot have a method of allowing those
who are sex are pregnant is disgraceful.
Well, I knew what the I know what the honourable lady says
and I don't cavil at it at all. I made the point yesterday, I
thought the situation was lamentable, I use that word. I
think several times the situation was Lamin to this
matter. I'm not interested in people chanting for a sedentary
position to do obvious benefit or purpose. I'm ruling on the
matter and I require no assistance in the process of
doing so. The situation was Lamin Tobal. I thought it better
that the honourable lady should have the opportunity of a proxy
vote. And that was my view. And it was a view widely shared. The
matter was debated in February of last year, and in September,
I had indicated my strong support, it would have been
necessary for a resolution to be tabled by the Leader of the
House for reasons which others can explain. It's not my job to
do their explaining for them. That has not happened. I think
it's regrettable but it cannot be sorted tonight
when they've been discussing this proxy vote in this case
since February.
No in general. Okay, Has this come up before? Oh, okay.
Let me just let me just understand what is lamentable.
lamentable what exactly? Is the deals you have to be able to
come in unassisted? That's the only if you are not able
bodied you had no you you're you had to be physically present.
Okay, got it. And I also learned something from the BBC. I didn't
know is that when they make their votes, you know, they vote
no. It's off camera. Yes. There are two halls the yes Hall in
the no Hall, and you walk out of that's where they all leave,
they all leave to go through the yes or the no door. And they go
into the yes and no door and one of the clerks or Clark's is
there to count them. And then they come back.
I love tradition. It's an old long tradition. Of course. The
joke is they go through those doors and then they're hugging
each other in the same room right behind the doors like
this. Yes or
so. So he's in the middle of that he ripped into this guy who
said something to him and I've never heard this guy talks so
fast and makes us a very interesting point even though I
think he he mumbled a little bit because I couldn't fully
understand what he said when he turned to this guy and and
ripped off this following phrase which is This clip is speaker
ripping heckler so
I'm not interested in people jumping from a sedentary
position to no obvious benefit or purpose I'm ruling on the
matter and I require no assistance in the process of
doing so.
You like that? I do like that it's
like that's what you'd like to say to your kids you just roll
that out
just so fast I don't even know what
like what the hell I'm gonna try to guess
I'm not interested hey you child audacity people chuntering for a
sedentary position today obvious benefit or purpose? I'm ruling
on the matter and I require no assistance in the process of
doing so.
Oh, gray hot.
Exactly the way he comes to a sleigh slows it down he grips
and then he slows it down to half speed to too
talented to slow speed
guys talented. He's got talent. He has talent. It's nothing you
can do us can argue that the guy has talent. He's a Remainer Yes.
The yellow jackets that was just we'll just move over a little
bit across the pond there now it's it's 10 weekends we've had
violence continues. The although I think this is fun to talk
about there's this continuous oh, we're gonna do a bank run a
bank run the Fred the yellow vests are gonna do a bank run.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to work. You know, maybe in the
days of, of Jimmy Stewart, a bank run was real but do a bank
run seriously, you're gonna get your 200 euros out of your ATM.
I mean, I don't see how a bank run could bring down globalism,
and certainly France. But one of our producers did send me a link
to the revolutions of 1848 also known as the spring of nations,
the people spring spring time of the peoples the year of
revolution was when there were numerous political upheavals in
Europe in 1848. And you being Mr. Cycles thought maybe you
could maybe you could as
a revolutionary cycle, it was all over the world. There were
these it was little.
Yeah, it was it was really huge, but also a lot of the grand but
a lot of the the factors around that time were sound familiar.
Some of the major contributing factors were widespread
dissatisfaction with political leadership demands for more
participation in government and democracy demands for freedom of
the press, demands made by working class the upsurge of
nationalism regrouping of established government forces,
middle classes and workers tried to form coalition's, of course,
10s of 1000s of people were killed. Yay. And serfdom I think
emerged from this time, but for a while there, they did have it.
They did this is when Karl Marx and these guys started to rise
up around this time. You know, which we have our new version of
socialism? Am I taking it too far in the revolutionary cycle?
I don't know. Okay.
Maybe or maybe banks. You know, things they do cycle in the
French are pretty much in the middle of the cycle. So I don't
know, I think that the cycles, I just tend to follow Financial
cycles.
There's the beginning of this cycle. This is I think, is just
beginning.
Now maybe?
Well, historically, the fruit I'm rooting for him. You can
tell Yeah, well, historically, the French are forced to be
reckoned with and and they're not letting up and what did
McCrone say? He said, Oh, yes, yeah, he came out and bless the
French saying, Oh, you want things without proper proper
effort? You want to get stuff for free? Yeah. Hello. That's
exactly what the deal is. Isn't that isn't? Shouldn't he be
saying, Okay. This is what we've always wanted. We want this new
world order of give everybody a living wage who you go Shut up,
stay home, don't do anything. Isn't it time you just say here
you go.
Well, that times are coming. It is
that's why I'm saying maybe this is the moment. Well,
maybe. I don't know. This is not something I can I have not
figured out. Okay. I think maybe just a bit. I don't know. I just
have no clue. No clue.
It's okay. It was just thrown. I have no clue either. But if you
read through it, it's in the show notes in a show notes.com.
Take a look at the revolutions of 1848. Before we take a break
here, two little quick promos. We have two meetups on the
horizon February 22. In Des Moines, Iowa happy to report we
already have 25 people signed up. So this is good. Yeah. And

no agenda? Not to mention the value added of John reading
these words as narrator of my voice my note, John please sound
as as sincere as possible saying this day. Thank you both.

saying
that the preparation you know there's that preparation and
then you know what we luckily we put it all together live on the
fly. I cannot imagine piecing it together. Like okay, we've
recorded this great stuff now let's edit in the clips.
Oh god.
Know if we don't do the show, the show is just a singular
thing that very few people could accomplish because it's just I

Day but yet you claim to have the Clip of the
Day. Okay, you play your clip.
No, no, no, we're playing your Clip of the Day first.
All right, so you should get the button ready? Well, you have you

want you to set the clip up. Okay. This is the Berlin station
clip. Now this is a show on epics that I keep trying to get
you to
and and I want to say Tina and I watched the first episode of the
first season had never watched it before I found that very
stressful. Ah you're watching it like this is pretty good. You
like yeah, it's pretty good. No, like, this is stressful.
I'm sorry. Ladies, you're a little stressful. It's a little
less stressful as it goes along. The second season is less
stressful. The third season is really interesting because they
they've set up this thing where the Russians are trying to take
over a Estonia but it's not there. Russian system, it's one
of the patriarchy or the flag, false flag. It's well, it's all
kinds of dudes. It's just cool. It's very interesting. And so
there and I think it's a great show people should watch this
for only, I think 10, nine episodes or a year. It's not
that big of a deal. But in this particular episode, they're
checking in with Langley and the woman that's out at Berlin's
station is having a debriefing and the guy is now concerned
about some super spook who is now coming out of the out of the
woodwork from the olden days, and they're concerned about
this. And here's how the dialogue goes. What do you know
about Gilbert Dorn? Gilbert Doran?
Same as everyone legend put out to pasture saw and did it all
during the Cold War cast a pretty long shout out Berlin
station.
He never lived. Retired and Berlin did not know that.
Let me guess he's writing a book
worse podcast.
That's right. The lowest poll of spycraft, you cannot get a lower
on the ladder than being an expert. podcaster. It's the
worst. Congratulations. I feel proud. Yeah, it's pretty good.
Yeah, worse.
From my perspective, that,
well, you've probably heard my clip of the day, but I'm always
bringing these things along, just in case. This was a radio
show. And the radio show is David Webb's radio show. He's a
Fox News contributor. And he had CNN analyst Arriva, Martin on
his show calling in and this is what happened, shouldn't
their requirement their primary requirement, regardless of
ethnicity, regardless of network, be that they are
capable of covering politics, for instance, if you're going to
cover political campaigns, sports may not be the most
qualified background. And that brings to the point of if people
want to get into these fields, regardless of color, I've chosen
across different parts of the media world, done the work so
that I'm qualified to be in each one. I never considered my
color. The issue, I considered my qualifications the issue?
Well,
you know that that's a whole nother long conversation about
white privilege and things that you have the privilege of doing
that people of color, don't have the privilege of
how do I have privilege of white privilege, David,
by virtue of being a white male, you have white privilege with
this whole long conversation? I don't have time to go.
I hate to break it to you. But you should have been better
prepped. I'm black
row. Did you hear this exchange? Yeah, it's a class and play the
rest of it's so beautiful.
Okay, then I
went to white privilege. This is the falsehood in this. You went
immediately with an assumption. Your people obviously or you
didn't look, you're talking to a black man. Started out in rock
radio in Boston, who crossed the paths into hip hop, rebuilding
one of the greatest black stations in America, and went on
to work for Fox News, where I'm told apparently blacks aren't
supposed to work. But yet, you come with this assumption and
you go to white privilege. That's actually insulting.
It is. And I apologize because my people gave me wrong
information. They told me the whole white
privilege thing is,
can I apologize for the record? I want to apologize. I was given
wrong information about you and I apologize based
on my color, you are going to something that I was part of.
And just to add to it. My family background is white, black,
Indian, arrow, black, Irish, Scottish. I mean, it's so
diverse. I'm like the UN, when it comes to this. And this is
part of the problem with driving a narrative around a construct
like white privilege. Privilege is one thing. We're applied
wealth economy, various social factors, but not necessarily
determined by color of skin.
Getting this is such a beautiful example of exactly what is wrong
today in this social justice warrior movement and white
privilege, and I mean, literally, she was calling the
guy out for having white privilege for something he said.
Which meant that he could only have had white privilege. But
then when it turns out he's black, but then she actually
apologized. I said, Well, of course you don't have that. I
mean, I don't think this just puts this makes your head spin.
As to while the fact that this has not gotten a lot of I mean,
it's online, we got some social media viral a
little bit of attention just a little
bit. But really, I wanted to take this one step further and
talk about brown privilege, because I think I can point to
that as well. Not black brown. And this comes in the form of
well, so you have all these 2020 hopefuls hold hopefuls, and
they're all doing cool stuff like AOC you know, hey, you
know, we're gonna go on Instagram, we got Elizabeth
Warren going on Instagram, we got Beto at the dentist on
Instagram and everyone's you know, doing cool little stuff.
And then Kamala Harris. Now, this is not exactly the same.
And it's part of it's a joke for Stephen Colbert shows like,
Okay, we're going to do a little Instagram thing, which she
couldn't actually do a real Instagram. But I want you to do
it. So she was going to do her. This is my, what is it? Her mix?
Her? Her mood mix? Um, Kamala Harris, here's my mood mix. Now.
What do you know about Kamala Harris?
Well, she was a DA in California. Very poor one by the
way. She,
how about her background?
She's like Hawaii, and she's got some weird knocks of races,
nets, not just a mix. No. She was raised in Canada. She was
born in Oakland in 1964 is a Canadian. Yes. She's not a
Canadian. She was raised in Canada. But her parents her dad
is from Jamaica. Her mom is a Tamil Indian. She is not African
American yet somehow, brown color skin gives her the
privilege to appropriate black culture.
Ah, I see where you're going.
Yes, Kamala Harris. And this is my mood mix. A song that has
always
made me it's not about the songs about how she speaks. Yes,
check the rhyme A Tribe Called Quest. You know, I'm talking
about five. A song from my favorite movie. Purple Rain, by
Prince and shallow by Lady Gaga. Oh, yeah. Okay,
so it's supposed to be my favorite song at a cookout. But
you don't play just one song at a cookout. You play a lot of
songs.
Now she sounds like any Beyonce fan right now. I just want to
say it's not appropriate. If we're gonna talk about white
privilege, and, and appropriation and brown
privilege, just because you have brown skin doesn't mean you can
act like you're an African American. I can make this
argument.
Yeah, well, you you're making the argument now.
Yeah, none. That was my argument. Yeah, no,
she's a phony, big phony.
And it just goes on and on and on. Well,
she say well, she could be API, high end lib Jo's yeah not the
to some but some other ones. I know you
gotta wait your your guys are low rent. There's there's high
end lib Joe's.
Yeah. Oh, yes. They are low rent compared to high end lib Joe's
okay. And we've talked about this Silicon Valley billionaire
class, which is high end. They all think that Kamala or Kamala
I was thought it was pronounced now she said Kamala Okay, well,
it's Camela but she is as a candidate for president. She's
like a kid you know, and she's a dummy. She's not as dumb as AOC
I will say that. You like
calling people dumb?
No, I don't I really don't like calling people dumb. I feel bad
about it. But I can't just call it say what it is. I mean, if
somebody's dumb like AOC I will miss will ask can I describe it?
Maybe ignorance which is ignorant Hey, I don't like the
word ignorant. Okay, as you saw I had this one clip I think was
we both watched the Golden Globes Yes. Now that guy who is
nominated for pretty much everything for best actor is
who's looking to get played Cheney. What's his name? The
Yeah. The Batman guy. Yeah, Batman guy.
Batman guy. Batman play Cheney.
So Batman plays Cheney. So he and he's British witch and he's
very good actor because he played an excellent Shane if
you've seen the movie, movie, I find the movie to be very I
didn't like the movie. Christian Bale. Yeah, Christian Bale. So
we didn't play his his acceptance speech. I don't
believe no. Well, here it is. Best Golden Globes. Best Oh,
here
it is. I see ya got
Mitch McConnell. Next. How can be good thank you to Satan. To
give me inspiration on how to play this role
played Dick Cheney.
Everybody got bent out of shape about Oh, really?
I thought it was funny. I think it's fine. It's funny. Oh, geez.
Because someone didn't thank God.
He's think Satan.
What's your take? Well, actually, I have a tape. What's
your take on this Gillette ad?
I didn't think much of it. I thought that was insulting to
normal men.
Yeah, my my immediate reaction might just see you have to see
it. If you listen to it, it doesn't quite work. I also was
like, Really, I spend was how much it's so expensive their
product. I went straight away to see if I could short the stock
but the part of Procter and Gamble, they got some winners in
there. Don't want, they don't want to
get any traction. It's actually surprising that they did
something like this because Procter and Gamble is notorious
for being one of the greatest marketing companies in the
history of the United States. You know, I think I need I got a
lot of attention. I think it worked
for them. No, I think it does work. I think it does. I think I
think it works for them. I think they got the attention they
wanted. It was interesting. One of our producers sent the tags
that they put on the video which are invisible unless you know
how to look for it. Now, but it's not they're not surfaced.
But I'll read some of these tags that that they these are in
general these are search terms. They want people to find this
video, anti harassment, Stop Harassment, anti bullying, stop
bullying, modern masculinity, crisis of masculinity, manhood,
masculinity meet to movement and empowerment campaign diversity
and power commercial inspiration Gillette, commercial. And me
too. They were really going all out for this one.
Yeah, well, they went all out.
I think it'll help them.
I do really don't. I mean, I there's the old, you're going by
the thesis that you know, any publicity is good publicity,
which is a common thing you could and I think it applies
mostly. And it might apply here. But generally speaking, I think
it's just created just a little nagging, Ill Will Well, the
problem is, especially with men who are just feeling that they
were insulted by a product by companies whose product A,
there's alternatives to, especially in the middle of this
moment where you have all these cheap alternatives coming out of
the woodwork from every which way. And it's like this is not
the time to do this.
What I'm more interested in because they have more marketing
than just this. When people were already sending around pictures
of the Dutch Gillette promotion team
who weren't girls with Gillette DS Yes dude on their ass
No Yeah, but the really tight like kind of dominatrix outfits
with Gillette across their
outfits the latex tight fitting the girls are well shaped
do this is the mistake they're making is they've got to lead
on their butts. Yeah. And so this is like how does this work
with the other ad? I mean, are you trying to like is this this
is that's even I think that's even more insulting. This
is the short thinking this this is the mistake. This is the
mistake should not have let that happen. But it's happening this
brands doing all kinds of weird things. I mean, I'm not a comic
book guy at all. But I do know that shade the mutant drag queen
superhero might be an issue
though right now I'm I'm not gonna say that I'm less or more
of a comic book fan than you are because it because I have
collected a few copies of different things. Not that I
have a comic book collection per se, like zero way ahead
of me just see it and even saying I have no idea what
you're talking about. Oh, so apparently Marvel Comics has
they have Iceman is one of their comics. And in addition for
there's a new drag queen superhero named shade. And she
has I guess she has some superpowers. But yeah, it looks
like it's like a mutant drag queen. He's now a superhero in
the Marvel lineup. Okay. And the world is changing around us.
Yeah,
Callum is around in this next movie.
RuPaul is a shoo in. Good to go. Superhero. RuPaul is a superhero
who would have known who would have thunk? It could happen
yeah, there's big like there's some sort of there must be some
trade association for drag queens because they're promoting
drag queen hurry with little kids and the single moms address
her boys up in dresses and these other things as well. It's this
disturbing if you asked me if
This odd transitionary phase where the idea is you can
transition you can change to be whatever you identify with or
how you feel so male, female, female to male. But then there's
this interim stage where you're just fabulous. And you have to
celebrate that for a while. Oh for a while. It to me it seems
like Oh, no. I thought you want to be a woman. But now there
seems to be this you know, you just want to be fabulous. It's I
think, I think there's some of that too, just in betweens to
just be fabulous for a little while before the full transition
fine by me. And some of them are quite fabulous. Now this just a
touch another third rail this steve King.
I was Steve King says yeah, the more interesting by the minute,
I don't I think I had a clip last show.
I have a I have a quick clip just because it's all these
things apparently what he said he's been such a racist.
We went over with the exact quotes and we read from the
thing it is not well, targeting him for some other reason out
why before you go on with this. I did get a note from what
because I'm still baffled by it. He is the guy behind the birth
begins at conception bill. So he was one of our producers says
this might be the reason they're targeting him because this is a
nasty bill if it gets through, but this this kind of thing
doesn't get voted through. So he has to go.
Well, I'm just just looking at. So the New York Times had a
rundown of all the things he said. And I completely
understand how you can have a certain mindset and idea about
someone or who they are. And Isn't he like a tractor driver?
Are you some days from Iowa? It wasn't like, basically Ohio.
Isn't a thought it was from Iowa. I could be wrong. Is he
from Ohio? No, he's Iowa. from Iowa. Iowa.
Oh, yeah.
He's like, he's like a foreign guy is like a farm guy. So okay,
I can understand where if you already have in your mind while
he's clearly a racist, white nationalist. Hi, I
always gotta be even more than Ohio for sure.
So let's just look 202 in 2002, he filed a bill requiring
schools teach that the United States is quote, The
unchallenged greatest nation in the world and has derived its
strength from Christianity, free enterprise, capitalism and
Western civilization. Now, first of all, to look at anything from
2002 and 2019. Lens is complicated. But this doesn't
necessarily show racism. These types of comments. No. In 2005,
he introduced the English English language unity act to
build to make English English the official I can't even speak
English to make English the official language racist. He
sued the Iowa Secretary of State for posting voting information
on official website in Spanish, Laotian, Bosnian and Vietnamese.
So these are all racist things. And I can totally see I
understand how people who are looking for you know, if you, if
you are as a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I get it, I
really do. But then to say this is also completely racist from
2013.
And that doesn't mean that there aren't groups of people in this
country that you know, that I have sympathy for I do and there
are kids that were brought into this country by their parents on
knowing that they were breaking the law. And they will say to me
and others who defend the rule of law, we have to do something
about the 11 million, and some of them are valedictorian. So
all my answer to that is and they by the way, their parents
brought them in it wasn't their fault is true in some cases, but
they aren't all valedictorians. They weren't all brought in by
their parents. For everyone who's a valedictorian. There's
another 100 out there that they weigh 130 pounds and they've got
calves the size of cantaloupes because they're all in 75 pounds
of marijuana across the desert.
Now this is somehow racist. These are misunderstood. Maybe
I'm misinterpreting what he's saying. What I understand him
say is either there's people have so many drugs strapped to
them that their calves look like cantaloupes, and they just got
all this this dope strapped to their body or to they carry so
much drugs that their calves have blown up to the size of
cantaloupes. I'm not quite sure which one it is, either one. How
is this a real issue?
Well, they're out to get this guy now you were reading I
realized from the New York Times article, which is another thing
the New York Times is all in on this. Let's get Steve,
I have a technical question for you. Yeah, because this I
noticed this immediately in this in the most recent fractious,
the one that really set everyone off here in this in this New
York Times article, I'll read the paragraph before and then
the offending paragraph and I have a technical and technical
question. Okay. Okay. At the same time he said he supports
immigrants who enter the country legally and fully assimilate
because what matters more than race is, quote, the culture of
America and, quote, based on values brought to the United
States by whites from Europe, this is not a quote, now comes
the, quote, white nationalist white supremacist, Western
civilization. How did that language become offensive? Mr.
King said, Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the
merits of our history and our civilization. So that apparently
was incredibly offensive. But here's the thing in his quote,
white nationalist and it's in quotes, white is capitalized.
White supremacist is not capitalized, but then Western
civilization is capitalized. Why did the second white not get
capitalized? White Nationalist white supremacist Western
civilization white
supremacist is not capital. No. Well, I think it's because hmm,
I just that is a that is a that is a technical detail that The
New York Times has a lot of editors who have nothing better
to do but determine whether something should be capitalized
or not. There's a future for I thought maybe there was a made
the determination that white the first ones white nationalists
capitalized, yep. Which means it's like it isn't a standalone
item. White supremacist is like a thing that is not stand alone.
It's just it's like an attitude or a way of being instead of
being a group, it's not a group, you know, it's not, it can't be
categorized as a group. Whereas white nationalists can and white
supremacist is more of a way of being, it's not part of it, of
an institution. Right. And the last one, which was Western
civilization is a thing as a group is also a group kind of a
thing, I think is illegal the way they did it.
The what is probably the most egregious actually is the
Western civilization part. I think that's where people take
the most offense to a lot of them. So it I mean, I also don't
understand the Greeks. I mean, if you say nationalist, but you
know, he did if he actually said white supremacist, yeah. What?
How can you not find that language offensive? So he
screwed up there big time. But just all the stuff that's
brought in, you're right, they're out to get this guy.
Yeah, no, they're out to get him and we're talking about and
starting with the New York Times, which, for example, we
had we had Jill Abramson, who, the Berkeley Hummer said you
have a clip from her that perfect clip. Yeah, I
can. I can get it while you finish. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, Jill Abramson slammed butts slammed in New
York Times for being irrational about Trump and then kind of
ruining their journalism journalism chops. A few months
ago, on Al Jazeera. Hirsch. Seymour Hersh has flown around
promoting his book reporter. And he was asked specifically about
journalism in the United States from this kind of a douchebag.
Interviewer. And I want to play that clip of Hirsch on
journalism is what he thinks of journalism,
I think is going to hell. Now, what you have is, if you don't
like Trump, you read The New York Times and Washington Post
and what certain cable shows CNN. If you like Trump, you
watch Fox News, and you read the papers,
equalled all you that's buying into a Trump narrative, Fox News
is not the same as the old times Nielsen still does good
journalism, by the way that Fox News does,
but the credibility The New York Times because it's so hostile to
him, maybe legitimately, but over the top, I think they've
gone way over the top in terms of like running an anonymous
letter.
Now, how is that any different from my assertion that
journalism is just an invalid profession? No longer should
exist?
He didn't say that. No, I
know, but I did.
Yeah, well, that's how it's different. Anyway, you have Jill
you have jilda So we just get a feeling for her.
Obviously. I read I read The New York Times, like all day long,
mainly on my iPad.
I get enough of that.
Okay, do you have some of her or No, I got nothing. Just just a
gratuitous Jill Abramson and why not? And why not?
So the New York Times is out to get King? I don't know. Maybe. I
had no idea what the what's behind it, but they're out to
get him. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I think it's possible that
all these elements of all put together is like, hey, this
guy's Bet a bad let's get rid of him. I mean, they tried to get
him voted out this last election cycle. They couldn't do
it. Yeah, but he barely won, right?
Yeah, barely won, but he won.
Well, you know what, I'll be brutal. on the ground in iwade,
in about a month,
maybe you'll learn and you'll be able to do some, some q&a, some
some boots on the ground and somebody in Iowa will come up to
you say, Here's the reason that they're going after Steve King.
And it's going to be something probably that we don't know.
That's a hidden to you showing up for that meet up people.
Yes. On the 22nd of February date to be determined.
meetup.com 22nd of
February is a date. Yes. You said you mean time to be
determined. A place
to be determined place to be placed to be determined. Thank
you for keeping me. Honest, honest. Yes. Got us some other
social justice warrior stuff. A little bit of our lover on
that topic. Let's go to the Lair foundation. I got some new
clips.
Okay, do I need to explain the legal foundations probably good.
I
think you should explain it and maybe play the original clip.
And then I have some some additional clips that I think
work well.
Okay. Well, why don't you start while I look up the clip.
Okay. Well, the Lear Foundation was actually a it's a subset of
the Lear Foundation, which runs out of USC and it is a group of
people it's got a certain name to health and do something
Hollywood Health and Society, at Hollywood Health and Society and
is it's it's for all practical purposes, a lobbying group that
lobbies writers working in LA, mostly to do certain kinds of
stories. So
it's beyond that. If you look at how they operate, they offer
free experts. So if you're doing a show, in the clips, yeah, if
you're a disaster movie, they'll get someone for you. Here's the
here's the backgrounder that we choose. I don't even know how
old this is. I see if I can find out when we most
of these revelations came this eclipse I have from 2013. Yeah,
this is Eclipse I have or the guy who founded it. Yeah, this
is from 2013 as well, I think. So here's a quick understanding.
So in the course of our work, this is in the two years 11 to
13 335 storylines that we worked on, have been aired, we've
worked with 35 networks in the past four years. 91 different
television shows.
Yeah, they got some numbers for sure.
Yeah, I have the same. I have that clip too. But I have some
additional things that that kind of let's start with some
additional information that is kind of interesting. Let's see
here layer Kaplan writers meetings, and he's got a little
that clip and some more.
So we will put on a topic that is of interest to us. And we
hope it's of interest to writers. So in that year or
recently, addiction, fact and fiction, a world of stories,
which is about global health stories. place matters, which is
about the in particular how income is a huge determinant of
public health. Beyond Erin Brockovich something about
toxins in the environment, who shall live and who shall die and
why? Which was about violence and unnecessary deaths from
disease. So in this way, by putting on these briefings, we
are in some ways, choosing topics to get them onto the
radar screen of writers. But it's all voluntary. It's there,
if you want to come great. We want to we want to throw a
spotlight on it. Similarly, we call the writers, the show
runners. And we say you know, the most marvelous expert is
coming to town next week. This person knows everything there is
about epidemiologic epidemiology or biological warfare. We
thought your writers might be interested we'd like to bring
him or her in for an hour. And almost always they say yes, so
even though we are a resource, were a an especially friendly
and a little bit aggressive resource, trying to bring to the
attention of writers issues of prominence. And by the way, the
people that we bring to the writers rooms turn out often to
be the basis for characters that appear in series. And because of
that, we spent we pay special attention to having women and
minority scientists and doctors among the people who come
because that illustrates without saying a word about it, that
these are people that do this kind of work excellence,
you're doing God's work. Great stuff should we should we should
remind the listening audience that Norman Lear produced All in
the Family Archie Bunker and and just to show really the power of
the Norman Lear's work. Archie Bunker the guy at the time, as
we've discussed before on the show was your typical middle
class white collar working Democrat,
however, then a blue collar blue collar, white collar blue
collar,
however he was he was branded as, as the Republican
as a Republican racist, which
was not not I mean, you're you said your your dad was very much
like Archie Bunker.
Everybody's dad was back then. And they were Democrats, and
they were all Democrats. So that all worked for a living as how
powerful Sway is to put it to work for a living, very
powerful, powerful, made them somehow made them Republicans in
the night, there was never a Republican in the group. And
they Archie Bunker character was a was a stereotypical Democrat
union guy.
And it was so effective that Rob Reiner is still mentally
disturbed from that whole era,
as he is confused brain was very scrambled. So I got a kind of a
kick out of this following thing. This is Lear, Kaplan
climate changes.
So in the course of our work, this is, in the two years 11 to
13 335, storylines that we worked on, have been aired,
we've worked with 35 networks in the past four years 91 different
television shows, we have a brand new aspect of Hollywood
Health and Society, which is to work with on the topic of
climate change. Where again, all these different activities,
writer briefings, screenings, newsletters, and so on are an
attempt to provide free resources to writers who want to
include climate change as one of the storylines that they're
working on. And just to give you an example of that climate
change work. A few weeks ago, there was a field trip, we do
something called Story bus tours, to the jpl nasa lab in
Pasadena, where we brought something like 37 writers and
producers to experience the most amazing stuff that they have
going on to inspire them in this area.
Amazing.
So we get to propaganda coming in from every which way occurs,
nobody
and it's free. It's free writing and I was wondering about that.
Do these Hollywood Health and Society writers do they get
writing credit? No.
Good consulting credit. When they bring the experts in and
some expert you know, wants to do a little extra work is hey,
you know, we'd like to bring you on to do some help us with the
story. Right? Do you get a consulting gig? Oh, no, that
Yeah, but there's but they get known as jokes and trolled. No,
no, no. The Writers Guild controls how those credits are
doled out. And these guys don't get any credits. Got it. Now, so
I found this little last little tidbit to be the one that was
the most interesting to me. Which is Lear, Kaplan 2013? How
did they get their money? When I
started Hollywood Health and Society, it was the first
program that we started so it is now about to enter its 10th
year. We are funded largely by the US Federal Government. And
our number one sponsor, since the beginning has been the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And other federal
agencies that have supported us are the health resource absorb
the division of transplantation of the Department of Health and
Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, the White
House Office of National Drug Control Policy, and the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality. And in recent years,
our federal funding has been joined by private philanthropy
in the funds from the California Endowment, and also from the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Ah, now there's now there's your borderline quiz.
That's enough to make you cringe. So us good dad, by the
way, this speech was given in 2013. So you have to add another
four or five, six years.
I'm sure there's tons more fun people find financing that?
Yeah, this guy unless you this, this is out of the University of
Southern California, who is we used to call it in the Pac 12.
The university is spoiled children. They have this little
group right out of the Annenberg School. And I think it's
deplorable. I think is the fact that there's nothing to counter.
This is propaganda. It's a propaganda mill
is kind of you know, it's certainly for in the day that
that minor hit up against the Smith Mundt act. I mean, it
truly is propaganda stick and the government is paying
for the fact that then I'm going to I will say this, I think a
reasonable perspective that generally speaking writers are
lazy. And in in the journalist area, they are fed stuff by
public relations agencies traditionally nowadays they are
just paid extra money to told the right native ad, but that's
different. This is a similar situation where you instead of
having public relations agencies, knocking on the door
saying, Hey, we wanted you to promote climate change. They
have this this right out of the J School of Dannenberg school.
at USC, they bring these guys out and fellow journalists feel
that what he means well,
this needs to be disclosed if, if this has taken place. You
know, it's like, how much of this so for instance, in
everything, we're seeing how much of eating bugs is coming
from the lair foundation? Is that something they are
advocating? Is there a
question to ask Will I put a call and say that Kaplan is I
want to do an interview with him? Uh huh. Now, whether or not
he this ever happens is another Did you
say go ahead and listen to episode 1104. He talking about
Listen,
listen, listen to this. Listen to this episode. But if the
guy's got any chops, if he believes in what he's doing, he
but gladly have an interview to tell me where I'm wrong,
for instance. So what's happening now that it's
interesting that at CDC, so it's health oriented? That's why Bill
and Melinda Gates are in this because they can all do
everything they do is under the guise of health. Yeah. And I
guess climate change for your health seems we're all going to
die
voting Democrats for your health for your health.
What's this? This meat stuff? I do the CES. They had fake meat
everywhere. There's meat Trump people trying to recreate meat.
Yeah. Now the meat industry is about climate change. Yes, the
meat industry is trying to protect the term the word meat,
so that you can't use it if it's not meat.
I agree with that. Yes,
here, there was an Israeli firm. I love farms. And they say they
actually have grown real meat.
In a lab, which we're going to try to the first thin slices of
steaks we have produced in a lab setting.
I think this is going to be the greatest revolution in the
history of modern agriculture.
This lab grown meat is not just a plant based alternative, like
the Impossible Burger.
There's a technology that exists that allows us to, I mean, for
all intents and purposes, have our bacon and eat it too,
without any pigs being harmed.
cultured meat, lab grown meat, clean meat, whatever you want to
call it, is identical to conventional meats at the
cellular level, just grown in a lab. No slaughter involves its
arrival could have massive implications for meat eaters,
the US is $200 billion meat industry and the environments.
And it's happening at a pivotal time.
We can't handle more agriculture. And this growing
demand is asking precisely that. And we're going to reach a
breaking point.
Blue Breaking Point Breaking Point breaking point, you know
what that means?
So they have done it, they've done it at the cellular level.
So they've cloned meat.
That's Yeah, kinda, I guess. Yeah. I'm curious about that.
I'm sure it's got, you know, they're, well, let's just take
meat, for example. Let's take a nice juicy steak. Let's take New
York steak. Now when you eat in New York, you cook it a
different you can cook it for different amounts of rare and
yes, you have very rare you have overcooked, and the steak will
toughen up when you cook it too much. And then if you compare it
to another cut of meat, which has some connective tissue
within it knows, which you can make into a stew. There's all
these different ways of cooking me too. They've been developed
for hundreds of years. And there's different qualities to
the finished product to the point where you can bite into a
lousy piece of meat from one of the lousy meat growers and you
chew on it and you go, this is terrible. I don't like this
meat, you spit it out. And then there's optimal meat a really
good you know, prime filet or let's say,
New York, how about like that sirloin from Costco.
And you do bite into a good prime piece of me as you got the
right Titan mouthfeel the right texture, the right flavors. They
can't do that in a lab. No everything they should be great.
Slowly it's gonna be it's gonna be grainy or you're gonna like
like a dried let me just tell you to dry but you'd ever have a
dried grape
Hold on You know everything they make everything they show is not
a steak it looks like hamburger ground beef you know it's great
they're not make instead it's gonna be ground ground.
Yeah hamburgers for McDonald's but what I believe is going to
happen you're going to start experimenting with this by
slipping it in so you're gonna have to hamburger will be
contaminated because there is I think a rule where you can't
call it a hamburger after this. You know, so much contaminated,
you know, wood pulp or whatever they like to put in these
birdhouses
silicon. No, there's
actually a wood pulp.
It's a No Don't you remember? It was no Taco Bell had like Sam
that's Taco Bell. It's meat. It's meat, sand.
Yeah, they got a bunch of weird stuff in there. This will go
into the Taco Bell taco, and it won't be much of a difference
and you know 10% 20% And it'll save them a bunch of money maybe
I don't even know it's gonna be that cheap.
No, it's just going to oh, it of course it won't be cheap.
There'll be gouging people with this technology. It's to save
the world. You have to spend extra to save the world. Oh,
taco dollar tacos.
Save the world taco 10 bucks. But hey, climate change to
problem eat it? Yeah.
What else we got?
Well, yeah, we will. Okay. We had the confirmation hearing in
the Senate of the proposed the nominated Attorney General a
very interesting choice.
This I've been I do this, and I will have to say that woman for
that Senator from Hawaii. Hirono. She's the worst. She is
a moron.
Do you have any clips of her? No,
I couldn't stand it. I
got one of her fighting back against her fellow Islander.
Tulsi Gabbard, who was announced she's running for 2020. But we
can't have Tulsi Gabbard, because back when President
Obama didn't want same sex marriage, she had the same idea.
Now she did reform.
But just like Obama did, yeah, but it was a little too little
too late. Senator,
I also want to ask you about the 2020 primary, your fellow
Hawaiian legislator Tulsi Gabbard has made clear she's
going to run in 2020. But she's run into some trouble over past
opposition to LGBT rights as well as with her ties to Assad.
Do you think you could support Congresswoman Gabbard in her bid
in 2020?
I'm going to be looking for someone who has a long record of
supporting progressive goals and ideals. So I certainly wish all
of our candidates are the best because it is going to be a
long, hard race. And so I wish everyone well, but for myself,
in these times of what I would call not normal times, I want
someone who is very much has been on the page in terms of
supporting equal opportunity of choice, all of the kinds of
issues that I have been fighting for for decades.
It sounds like you don't think Tulsi Gabbard has done well, I
wish her well though, as I do all of the other candidates.
Oh, man, I like Tulsi.
Yeah, I'm not I'm not a big fan.
You think everyone's dumb. Everybody thinks
she's dumb at all. I would not put that moniker on Tulsi
Gabbard. Good. You don't like her? I just don't like her
because she's on this Council on Foreign Relations. Yeah,
that's everyone's got issues. Everyone's got problems. You
went to the old CD. Do what I did. What is that? What is it
called again? I forget what it's called me and grow and grow.
Yeah, you Illuminati.
Yeah. Yeah. It's like a dog about your drinking Club. Well,
I wanted to continue here because I wanted to go to
well, we're gonna talk mentioned that Kristen, Kirsten, Kristen,
whatever her name is Gillibrand has also thrown her hat in the
ring. No,
we're gonna talk about bar that's where I was. And you you
brought up raw Yeah, back to bar because I have a couple clips.
So he was we need a new attorney general because rod Rosenstein
or Steen, he is apparently resigning getting thrown out I
don't know. Now he's complicit God knows. So this is the guy
who was he was attorney general correct four H word HW and so I
guess it's kind of like bringing the guy with experience and you
know, he said don't worry about I'll
let Bob Bob Bob is it buddy bob my big Bob. Bob at Bob. So Bob,
Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob Bob take care of it. Bob Arad, Barbara
barberino. Bob ran.
But when it came to what's actually going on with things
that affect that us a really affect us such as privacy, data
sharing. Tracking, the guy is completely and utterly clue lis.
I mean, he's old school. No, he doesn't deserve to have the job.
You got to have a hold. Well, these clips will prove it to
here is the first one. And this is actually Senator Josh Hawley,
Republican from Missouri asking the questions, and he's going to
ask a couple questions about how he would, as attorney general
would, would work with and handle some of the issues
surrounding social media companies in Silicon Valley in
general just
on the subject of ownership of data. As you know, Facebook is
currently subject to a 2011 Consent Decree, as part of what
you'd agreed not to release or share or sell personal user
information without the knowledge and consent of its
users. At Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has adamantly
insisted under oath, as recently as April 10 of 2018, that on
Facebook users have complete control. Those are his words
over everything that they share. However, as I'm sure you're
aware, recent media reports have indicated that Facebook, in fact
routinely has shared user information without users
consent, or even knowledge. Now, the Justice Department has the
authority to enforce the terms of the 2011 consent decree and
potentially to prosecute any violation. Will you consider
doing so?
Well, because that is something that I might have to get
involved with and supervise? If I'm confirmed, I'd rather not,
you know, make
any comments about it right now.
Okay, so Oh, okay. Wow, great. Yeah, the guy doesn't know what
he's talking about.
I'm sure he does. And he's probably thinking to himself,
who got shot? Is anybody using a gun? Here admission of a crime?
Is there anything going on as a communist involved?
Well, the senator from Missouri, is going to try to explain to
splain this to him and say, Hey, man, you know, this, like,
there's a hampering of the flow of information we got D
platforming going on. It's all kinds of crazy stuff.
Let me ask you this, these same technology companies also
control the flow of information or like the flow
the flow of No, they don't control the flow, but okay, just
influence it, the flow of information to consumers to an
unprecedented degree, I mean, you have to go way back in
American history, to find any analog back to the paper trust,
to find an analog of a group small group of companies that
control the information and influence the news and its flow
to Americans to an extent to the extent that these companies do,
and there's growing evidence, companies have leveraged their
considerable market power, if not monopoly status, to disfavor
certain ideological viewpoints, particularly conservative and
libertarian viewpoints. Do you think the Department of Justice
has the authority under the antitrust laws or consumer
protection laws or other laws to address bias by dominant online
platforms?
I would just say generally, and I wouldn't think it would, here,
I'd have to think long and hard before I said that it was really
an antitrust matter. On the other hand, it could involve
issues of disclosure, and other and other implicate other laws
like that.
He has no clue. And also, neither does Hawley from
Missouri. To data. That's important. It's not your pick.
Yeah, there's some that yes, we're scanning and getting your
your facial recognition and your friends and there's, but that's
the data that is not yours. That's Facebook's data, they
created that they, they have their SDK, and all the apps that
get all the data, that's their data. That's how at least how
they view it. There's a complete disconnect between what these
jokes in Congress feel data is and what it's really about,
though, and this guy is just he's a stock answer
unsatisfactory,
okay, well, you can bitch and moan about this character all
you want, but who would who could they possibly put up there
for this job? That would know anything?
I don't care. I don't give a crap. I just want to play these
clips.
Is there any point do you think it would, political bias could
require a response? And I'm thinking, for example, Harvard
Law Professor Jonathan Zittrain has written how Google or
Facebook, for example, could manipulate their algorithms to
significantly swing voter turnout to favor a candidate of
their choice. Would that sort of conduct require a response from
the department?
I'd have to think about that. I'd like to know more about the
phenomena and what laws could be implicated by it.
Well, that's at least an honest answer. And that I think it's
the Facebook actually has done massive experiment with more
than thing was five or 6 million people to see if they could
motivate them to vote and the dead in that it's published and
it's we've talked about on the show. Yeah. But nothing really
comes quite close as what I'm happy to see that people are
catching on to this. And they're analyzing it and the media is
doing this, but I think this is CBS This Morning even. It's not
the real issue what's going on, but the at least people are
aware of. And when I saw this happen, it was over the weekend
that it started this post a selfie of you today and 10 years
ago. Yeah, everybody's posting a selfie of you. And the first I
saw this is like, Yeah, I'm not gonna do that. This is clear.
Something's up with this. And CBS This Morning did a pretty
good job, but they missed the main point. I think Facebook,
Twitter
and Instagram users are posting photos of themselves a decade
apart with a hashtag 10 year challenge. Some well known
people have gotten in on the fun but the millions of publicly
shared photos can be a treasure trove of information for
companies working with facial recognition and artificial
intelligence data and emerging technology consultant Kato Neil
warned in a wired opinion piece. That's out right now, thanks to
this meme. There's now a very large dataset of carefully
curated photos that people from roughly 10 years ago and now,
similar concerns were raised last year about Google's arts
and culture app. It matched people with artwork were artwork
that supposedly looked like them. Google says it discarded
user selfies once the matches were found. The website Pop
Sugar released its own app for finding celebrity doppelgangers.
That company later revealed photos submitted for its
twinning challenge were initially stored on an unsecure
server. Also, many Instagram users who created collages of
their top nine most liked posts in 2018, may have given their
email addresses and other user data to a company in Uruguayan
Really, wow. Regarding the 10 year challenge, Facebook told
CBS News quote, our face recognition symptoms are not
tracking, studying or aware of this mean, wired senior writer
and CBS News contributor is ILA passkey is here. Good morning.
Good morning, Facebook says, Look, this was a user generated
meme. They didn't have anything to do with it. But how could
Facebook use these photos?
Right? So there's nothing inherently bad about this. It
was all in good fun generated by users. But what we have to think
about is what we're giving away when we're having this fun,
right. And so the tenure challenge, it is this
streamlined, organized data set that shows what you look like 10
years ago, and what you look like now. And if you're trying
to train a machine learning algorithm to learn how people
age, this is something that Facebook could do this is
something that other researchers might want to do. This gives you
a pretty nifty way of doing that. So I
think that's a red herring, because that's not what's going
on here.
I think, well, my hair might not be a red herring, but I liked
the idea. I was gonna post something I just didn't hit. I'm
too lazy. I was gonna post a picture of an old black man,
that would be me 10 years ago. And then some other you know,
Yoda or somebody others. Just some other pictures. Some, some
other races mean old Nick Nolte, he's mugshot, that would, that
would have been good. I use the Nick build these mug shots here
shoveled? And you know, just some random two photos and
saying, you know, well, I look a little better now. So no, so my
my view on this is Oof. Yeah, I mean, here's the things that
actually do that are intended to get you to get information from
you and learn about you and profile you. Yeah, maybe these
pick maybe this particular mean, I don't think so. The the games
like do you know all these top 10 songs from the 80s? Those are
all those are all about tracking and getting information on you.
In this case, I think is pure. And this may be the only thing
that that Silicon Valley really is going after is how can we
move the needle just a little bit? How can we make you do
something? And I think that's what this is about? How can what
can we create that you will engage with? And if you look at
what the if not, we've seen the Brexit? Actually, we've heard
the actual Brexit Brexit guide Dominic Cummings talking about
what he used. We've heard scowl the Trump digital guy about what
he used. All they're looking for continuously. It's what what
words what color? What internet? What's the button to click? Can
we use to make someone do something when we want them
to buy something?
Yes, buy is the low hanging fruit. I think that's just
that's just the beginning. Yeah, tell
that to our donors on today's show.
We've got you gotta engage some AI and ML to make sure the stuff
works, man. That's what it's all about.
We had to get by the way, I got a note from a producer that
who's know somebody in the the higher echelons of the White
House and he He or she said that there are people writing tweets
for Trump could be that he doesn't write tweets.
I don't know what that has to do with Silicon Valley trying to
get you to buy stuff or click stuff.
Well, I think is part of the same day is the same as last
year. Yeah. All right. blogosphere? Yes. Well, there's,
there's a lot of interesting things happened. Tim Cook
actually wrote an op ed in Time Magazine, about the data
brokers, because that's really what it's about. And, yeah, it's
about what you're clicking online. But until you integrate
that with a data broker who has your credit card, or your debit
card transaction history, that's when it gets interesting. And
Tim Cook is writing in Time Magazine, we all deserve control
over our digital lives. That's why we must reign in the data
brokers. So he's on a jihad, a jihad against the data voters.
Of course, that's he's trying to tell us that the iPhone, you're
protected, while Australia just passed a law that all digital
platforms must be prepared to give unencrypted encrypted data
with some kind of key to decrypt upon request.
Yeah, that's still Australia and Nazis. Well,
you're on a roll today. Well, they are part of five eyes,
which makes it very interesting because they share data amongst
us in the UK and New Zealand and who's the other one in Canada
and the Navia. Yeah. So you know, best thing is just not to
just don't say anything, just sit at home.
You can't do it. I would my phone. Yeah,
take it off the hook. You can't even you can't even watch Roku
anymore. Roku is they become such a tracking advertising, you
know, because of course they build some cool boxes. They
couldn't make enough money or they have to make more they went
public so we have to have a 20% increase continuously. And of
course they got caught in the old Well, within like three
days. We're gonna put Alex Jones on our platform because we feel
that you know, it's free speech blah, blah, blah. Three days
later, they deep platforming well because people said we got
a lot of pushback from the community. Now your advertisers,
this is news to me brand new Yeah, happened yesterday.
I know that they they said they're gonna put Alex Jones on
the platform and I'm thinking to myself, Okay, so on the platform
My goal is if I want to watch Alex Jones I can see him online
he's still there on the internet's and so I heard that
they're gonna put by No, they kicked him off already. That's
pretty lame. That's pretty. That's that's not a good sign.
That's a very this gutless wonder kind of a move.
Well, here they said before they took them off, which was just
days ago, we're a neutral platform. We're neutral. We just
wrote whose decision to allow the channel at all. Oh, I that's
not a quote. I'm looking for a quote. Okay, can't find a quote.
But just a couple days later, they take them off. After the
Info Wars channel became available. We heard from
concerned parties sleeping giants, and have determined that
the channel should be removed from our platform. Platform.
deletion from the channel store on platform has begun and will
be completed shortly. Do not move it will only hurt more
during the D platforming process.
What if Pluto put him on? What would happen then?
Well, Pluto is is on Roku so then Pluto Yeah, well I think
the cat I think the cat channels problem quite honestly, if you
want to do platform anything it's the cat tail. Love the
cat channel. Don't take off the cat channel.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that and oh, yeah, that'd be fun
and we continue our romp through the through the various
producers who at least came in for today's show. 1104 Starting
with Jamie's Melchor in Honolulu, Hawaii in his a D
douching.
Youth Band D deuced.
Yes, something here to say no after read this over later,
Joseph DeFazio in Long Island City came in over $111.11 David
Boswell in Georgetown, Texas $100 with a thank you. Tim Lang
and San Juan Cisco California $100 Lisa, Lisa from Bensenville
Illinois 100 Dogs Oh, I have a note hold on
okay. Oh, it's one of those notes that's you got it
on the table to get up and get it is a que la noche printed I
mean printed with it with a with a pen. This week the Gulf of not
donating finally got to me and a check is enclosed. Thank you. I
walk a mile to and from my government building in the
Chicago Loop from the train every day and listening to your
show has made the walk a lot more entertaining and fun even
though a guy on a bicycle almost killed me yesterday. Instead of
shouting at people wouldn't it be better to bring back the
little bicycle bells on the handlebars? You know the
new dockless bikes in Austin I'll have a bell
can you take the bell off
you're always sabotaging everything.
I'm just wondering. Well, I
will say our producer Scott in as he He said those damn birds.
Oh Columbus those damn bird scooters are all over Columbus
Ohio. Now I was walking around the city learning to use my
pilot dogs since I'm legally blind and they're everywhere.
I'd be fine if people use the charging Stanford around them.
But that's too much trouble I took out I took a few out though
clothesline one idiot right off right off his scooter when he
almost hit me and Tucker, my guide dog. Let me know which
wires to clip. And I'm thinking No, no, he has one. He doesn't
need to one of those collapsible canes. I don't know if he has
one. He just needs to just bash the shit out of these people
from them if they're on the sidewalk, this
boom and I think yeah, like Sorry. Well, I think you should
definitely go to the city council and complain that this
is a hazard to the blind folk.
It is. It is.
There's no doubt about the dogs don't like it now. Anyway,
onward. And he
did offer Tucker as the official pilot dog of the show. Okay, he
is now and he's he's pretty is a handsome handsome dog. Very also
forward to the picture. Very handsome dog. Oh, good.
Hello, Tucker. Good little boy. She says I'd like to hear that
jingle be one of the requests and we can make it when we
donate. Which one is that? I actually have one of those
little bells around somewhere. I haven't used it on the show. Oh
yeah, please de douche me. Okay.
You've been de deuced
I'll need job commerce. I'll soon be one of the 800,000
government workers who will not be getting paid this time
followed by Shut up slave. The Shut up slave is the most
relevant to government work. Please do not use my last name
are the US Marshals will be kicking down my door for talking
about our private business. And they are probably more stressed
than the rest of us because they have already lost their
paychecks. Good karma to all of my fellow 800,000 government
workers. I hope this ends by the time you get this it didn't. I
put 108 Because eights are supposed to be lucky.
Well, let me hand out that karma that's appropriate to do that.
1000 workers yeah for 800,000 Karma deal? Of course they get
screwed.

Appleby, Jr. in Greenberg, Pennsylvania. I want to thank
all these folks are being the producers of the show 1104. And
hopefully, we'll get more people to come on board, I would notice
there's a lot of first time donors and years and years of
guilt. They finally come on board. I think there's a lot
more out there that need to pick up the slack.
Yeah. Isn't it interesting, though, when we have these short
donation days, just because there's not a lot coming in, you
actually get more show. It's kind of wrong. Yeah. We do we do
more show with two more show. When you donate glass. No,
that's not. And we're gonna actually that's
not necessarily true, because I've noticed many times we've
gone way over when we had long donation segments. That's true.
That's true. And actually then to be honest about it. I'll just
give them a little secret of the show. We really do the show to
the point when we run out exception anything to talk
about. Yeah,
that's true. Even if we have some stuff leftover. We just
inherently feel okay. We're done this time. Yeah. And it's
usually around the the mark.
Yeah, it's grounded. Yeah, we tried to do 245. But we will
often hit three. And it's just remember,
we make it look easy.
Which is the hardest part?
Well, I do want to say I do want to thank these you do want to
thank I do want to thank these producers for supporting the
show. We certainly could use some more help for our Sunday
show which you can go to direct.org/na for that. But this
is how our value for value system works. You right, and
people who have not donated before we like seeing that. And
we do have one knighting Thank goodness. So we'll do that in a
moment. And please remember all those people who come in under
$50 They're either anonymous or they're on one of our programs.
That is also highly appreciated. Please, for Sunday, go to
vora.org/in A
karmas jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.

and thank you again for your courage divorce.org/n A and Pat
Tapper. Oh, man, it was a weird story in California. And about
this, about the officer who was killed, was it the woman was was
that in Davis, California?
Well, there's a bunch of people getting killed in California
everywhere. There's just a woman, San Francisco flag and it
was all bent out of shape about it.
I don't know listen to this when the invento was not a woman
instigators got into the house where the suspect was. They
found a letter open face on the bed.
Davis police lieutenant Paul door Shroff showed reporters
this six line type written letter with the signature line
typed out citizen Kevin Limbaugh. This is a photo of
Kevin Douglas Limbaugh now identified as the gunman who
killed officer Natalie Corona before turning the gun on
himself in his home. His letter offers new information about his
mindset the night of his deadly attack,
we can only speculate that it was there to be seen
immediately, but it was certainly in a position where it
could be seen immediately.
The letter reads the Davis Police Department has been
hitting me with ultrasonic waves. Dogs from barking, I
notified the press internal affairs and even the FBI about
it. I am highly sensitive to its effect on my inner ear. I did my
best to appease them but they have continued for years and I
can't live this way anymore.
That's quite the accusation.
Of course yes. This was kind of a story floating around but it
was kind of superseded by another story
well you know that you know the cops they found out what it was
what he was complaining about of the the supersonic weapon
and what was it crickets?
Way You know, they the door was so open.
Well, at least I didn't try to I didn't I didn't kill it. No,
true. Well, so this woman this before she was a police woman a
couple years early, she was shown dancing and holding a blue
line flag. Are you familiar to blue line, blue line and a red
line flag? No is the blue line and American flag that's in both
movies in all black except there's a blue line in the
middle of it and reverse represents the
police. Okay, the thin blue line.
Yeah, and it really represents the police and just commemorates
or celebrates if you want to call it that. All police that
were killed in the line of duty. There's also a red one for the
fire department. So she's held now all of a sudden, especially
around here, they're all bent out of shape about the flag now
has become acquainted to me to people. It's become a symbol of
racism.
Oh, yeah. That's what the blue the blue line flag is a symbol
of racism.
Oh, yeah. I wish I had a clip. I think I can have one for the
next show. But he has is a major, major, major symbol of
racism. So anyone who has that flag or displays the flags are
racist. Wow. Wow.
Yeah. There was a story that caught my eye mainly because I
know how to pronounce it. Willamette. Most people don't
know how to pronounce Willamette.
How would you pronounce it? Otherwise?
Oh, people say Willamette.
Oh, no. It's always been Willamette. Yeah.
And I know that because I, I got my fixed wing license at
Willamette.
Oh, well, I know it because my daughter went to University of
Willamette.
Well, it's pretty crappy up there and Willamette listen to
this sign is up
at River Place. There is no dumping of sewage in the marina.
Whether treated or not vessels suspected of dumping will be
asked to leave.
I do see feces. I see. Waste, bags a waste. It's clearly from
somebody living on the
river Marlin bump is the Harbormaster here at the private
pay by month facility and just a few feet away.
We have a couple boats over here that have been on the docks for
a little bit of time is a city
owned dock with two transient boats tied up more than a few
days and it's trespassing. But there are a few rangers to
enforce it. There's some of the 54 boats on the state's watch
list right now, compared to 85 in 2016. We're going to tour
around Ross Island to show you close up some of these transient
boats. homeless folks buy them for a few $100 off salvage
dealers. They don't have working motors to get to shore and pump
out sewage or drop off garbage. No lights are anchors to be
seen. And some like the one two weeks ago along the east bank
Esplanade are so dangerous they catch on fire written warnings
to move along last summer did nothing now anyone living aboard
these is trespassing. The Department of State Lands plans
to start seizing some of the worst offenders at $4,000 a pop
and totally numb out but right
now we need to get the feces out of the water Yeah
turns out of the water so as I'm listening to this it hits me our
exit we missed removal no better kind of doing that now. No
there's a homelessness problem in America that is really bad
and in Austin we see it too it's all under the highway it's under
bridges is 10 camps to solution and we kind of missed out on the
no agenda tents. Three No, but we have a we have another shot.
Are you ready for it?
I'm all ears.
Inflatable bouncy castles. You see we take the basic inflatable
bouncy castle and we we of course no agenda on them. We
outfit them with some pockets and stuff so you can put all
your gear in there and you can just line them up on any river
they're easy to deploy you can snap them together so all you do
your homeless friend you can have like a like a convoy you
know you can have a whole platoon you can you can be a big
float and it's perfect yeah yeah come on keep digging we can
brand this we can brand the no agenda brand
it but I don't know if you see one of these things floating out
to see you know your title you know who's do who's behind this.
Can you imagine that promotion? Okay, you're just making my
point for me some attention
Yes. Especially what's floating out to see what the Coast Guard
choppers but unfortunately probably send us a bill
flotilla was the word I'm looking for Flotilla. Yeah, that
is a pun in there, too. Well, I liked the idea. I never heard by
the way this clip was interesting to me because the
homeless house boat dwellers, because right now in Berkeley,
the big thing in the Berkeley area, East Bay and San
Francisco, of course has been this way forever. The East Bay
has got these people who buy or rent these RVs and they live in
those Yes. And they just They're everywhere. And they're
everywhere. And there's there's certain streets where they're
lined up. There's just a slew of them all lined up maybe like 50
of them. You got to imagine is that just garbage everywhere all
around? What's
What's the biggest problem with with that type of situation. You
have the RV it's broken down and won't go anywhere. So you have
to drag with the bouncy castle idea. You just put the people on
the bouncy castle and you can move them wherever you want them
to tell we're gonna move you guys over here. The flotilla
goes along and it's perfect.
Back to reality, Okay, I'll stop the these RVs are over. There's
I never thought that creativity I have to give them credit up in
Portland for coming up with the idea of finding old abandoned or
beat up or pieces of crap. And by the way, a crappy house boat
piece of crap house boat is kind of redundant. And you could kind
of fit in as if you're not paying your monthly dues to be
moored anywhere, right. But yeah, I think it's not a bad
thing. These houseboat, homeless hospitals for the homeless.
We have a lot of we have a lot of people living on house boats
and boats for the
homeless. Okay, the house boats Austin River.
How are you? houseboats for the homeless? bouncy castles for
bums? I'm telling you. It's an idea. Yes, we have lots of house
boats in Austin. The big the big house boats.
Are there for the homeless?
No, they're for rich people. Yeah, that's the only correct
answer. All right. I just got an interesting note from the
keeper.
Yeah. So we have kind of ties into this story. So Nancy Pelosi
has said to the President, you can't come to our house and do
your State of the Union until you stop the shutdown and pass
the the appropriations bills now she has that right. I presume
she can. She can do that, I guess.
Yeah. Yeah. She had a just an invitation. The reason she
rationalizes this and I have been total agreement with this.
She says they says they don't have any they can't afford this
security.
Oh, really? Right. Correct. Well, let's
go to CNN. And listen to Phil Mudd, notorious CIA shill. And
let's see what he has to say about it. If you believe that
this is a real national security threat, you're gonna have all
100 senators for under 35 members of the House, the
diplomatic corps, the Supreme Court justices, you're gonna
have members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The entire cabinet
with one was so called designated survivor who doesn't
come because of God forbid some sort of security incident. Is
this a legitimate security concern?
Heck, no. I mean, this is political genius. I give Nancy
Pelosi credit For her political sense, it's national security
nonsense. We're talking about less than 60 acres, and the huge
national security threats of US senators, US congressmen,
members of the Cabinet, Supreme Court justices and guests of,
for example of the President, and that's that we can't secure
58 acres. Are you kidding me? There's 40,000 Plus flights
every day in this country, Wolf, they're still flying in the FAA,
which in the midst of this crisis is still operating can
manage 40,000 Plus flight, and we can't do 58 acres. I applaud
her for coming up with the genius of trying to corner the
President on this. But from a national security perspective,
this is a Kardashian moment. This is
my words, from
how dare you disagree with Phil Mudd? Hey, you're wrong wrong
again,
or actually some CIA reason they want to do? Oh, yeah, I would. I
think that she's correct. And there's no end. You know, he's
gonna give the State of the Union address at some point. And
it's going to be whenever it is, and we'll Karis is currently
being deal.
According to the keeper who just sent me a message. Trump just
canceled Pelosi, his trip to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan
because of the shutdown and said she can go but she has to fly
commercial.
Little back and forth.
A little a little back and forth. While there's 800,000
People who haven't been paid, it's getting it's getting a
little complicated for people,
you're gonna have to do something about this. Today, I
got a little clip for PBS work recalled no pay, they're doing
this stunt, which has got to work people.
Also today, the Federal Aviation Administration called another
2200 aviation safety inspectors back to work. And the IRS
recalled the work 46,000 furloughed employees 60% of its
workforce to handle tax returns and refunds. None of the workers
in either agency will be paid.
Yeah, there was an interview with Trish Gilbert. She's
executive vice president at the Union, the national air traffic
controllers Association. And I think it's worth listening to
what she had to say. Because her message is clear. Now,
obviously, it's a stressful job. You can you know, not having
enough people is stressful. But her mind I'm not quite sure
where her mind is. She seems like a very political person.
Let's just have a listen here in the air.
Is there any reason while Pete white people flying should be
concerned that there's not enough man and woman power to
keep planes safe as they're flying?
Well, you know, each day that this shutdown continues, the
situation gets worse and worse. There are several complicated
complex layers in our system to ensure so
you know, several complicated complex layers in our system
that is a bunch of gobbledygook if I ever heard it,
yeah, yeah, that's a good one,
several complicated complex layers in our system, to ensure
that it maintains the critical safety components that we all
rely on when we fly. What we don't want to see is a
catastrophic event occur. And for us to come to you and say,
we told you that controllers are working longer hours, they now
they don't have their support staff, they're going to work
unpaid. So they're not sleeping at night. They're looking for
other jobs.
I'd like to I'd like to conclusion, I mean, yes, I can
see the stress. But she, you gotta be very careful when you
say these things like, and I also think the air traffic
controllers who were there should be a little pissed off at
this woman. They're very capable of doing it also short handed,
they've done this a lot. So you know, oh, well, you're not
getting you can't sleep aid.
So they're not sleeping at night. They're looking for other
jobs. Maybe they're driving Uber before after their shift. This
is unacceptable. And we cannot come to this country and expect
these people to continue to
show us a weird we cannot come to this country and expand on
understand, is she talking about immigrants or she talking about
the shutdown, or just just no instance, again, She's the
Executive Vice President of the National Association and
National Air traffic controllers Association.
She's the head of the Union aid.
So they're not sleeping at night. They're looking for other
jobs. Maybe they're driving Uber before after their shift. This
is unacceptable. And we cannot come to this country and expect
these people to continue to work without pay, how long? How long
can they do?
It? We cannot come to this country.
I know. That's what I said. She's weird. But she continues
right,
these people to continue to work without pay, how long? How long
can they do that? We're
alarming due to raise the possibility of a catastrophic
event. Are you saying that the effect of this shutdown just in
terms of folks not sleeping? Not having some people have been
called back but not all those workers have been called back?
Are you saying that that is is a is a reasonable credible
concern?
I'm saying the system is disruptive or disrupted.
Another one is disruptive. She's got other things in her mind
back. Are you saying that that is is a is a reasonable credible
concern?
I'm saying the system is disruptive or disrupted. And the
people are need to be focused on the job that they're paid to do.
Unfortunately, they're not getting paid to do it right now
they need 100% Focus, they need not to be fatigued, they need
not to be worried about whether they're going to have to sell
their house whether they're going to have to leave this
professional together.
Now, the air traffic controllers is interesting by itself. We
went for a long time without them when they had the walkout
under Reagan. Right. And he wound up firing all of them.
Yeah, you guys walked out, you're out of here.
I believe there is also some law or regulation or something, some
Reg, that if the if the shutdown has lasted for 30 days, then I
think you can start firing people. There's some something
weird something. I'm not sure I've not seen it in writing.
I've only heard people talk about it.
Oh, maybe somebody can help us.
I have one more, as was part two to this clip just about the
safety of flying you fear mongering
given all that you've just laid out and it is alarming to hear
bottom line, would you say Trish, that flying is less safe
today than it was a month ago?
I would say it is less safe today than it was a month ago?
Absolutely. We do not have the professionals on the job. We are
working with bare bones crews, we have controllers, they're
doing what they do very, very well. But how long can you
expect them to do it without all of the systems behind them to
keep the system safe and that the planes just
talking crap. Now the systems are up and running, I'm sure
in the air. It's not just the air air carriers that were
working through the system. It's life flights with organs, it's
packages with cargo flights. It's the military. All of this
is very important to this country. It's an economic
engine, the air traffic control system in this country. And
right now you're putting this incredible strain on the system,
which is unacceptable and unreasonable. This is a horrible
game of chicken that we're in the middle of and we need to get
out of it and we need to get out of it today.
I agree we need to get out of it. But I disagree that this is
somehow really making life unsafe for air travel.
Really stand it.
All right. Well, I do have I don't have a clip about Richard
Engel did a whole bit on Syria. And I wish I had this too. But I
don't understand why I don't have
it. I see here Richard Engel, NBC on Syrian war and recent
murder. Is that
at the bottom? Yeah. That's the clip. Let's play that clip
because I pulled an ISO from him. That's quite That's very
funny.
Tell NBC News. US troops were at a restaurant halfway down this
street. And then this happened when a man in civilian clothing
approached the door with a suicide bomber, apparently lying
in wait with a powerful explosive vest for Americans
were killed two US service members, a civilian working for
the Defense Department and a contractor. As rescue
helicopters came in witnesses told NBC News US forces may have
set a dangerous pattern coming to this same restaurant
repeatedly. ISIS almost immediately claimed
responsibility. The group it seems trying to show the world
President Trump is wrong. We've
beaten them badly. We've taken back the land. And now it's time
for our troops to come back home.
But US troops are still here in Syria for now. And their allies
Kurdish forces, who took us into the battle zone say the US
leaving a war that's not finished. These areas here on
the frontline are completely devastated and us and Kurdish
led forces are still fighting against ISIS. There are as many
as 4000 ISIS fighters still in this area. Partly mission
accomplished. Vice President Pence today. Apparently,
the caliphate has crumbled. And ISIS has been defeated.
I like his alliteration the caliphate has crumbled. Well
done Penn's boy, nice
has crumbled, and ISIS has been defeated.
Well stay in the fight
to ensure that ISIS does not rear its ugly head again.
But one of President Trump's allies is warning about pulling
out the 2000 US troops in Syria too soon is
set in motion, enthusiasm by the enemy we're fighting. You make
people we're trying to help wonder about us. I saw this in
Iraq. And I'm now seeing it in Syria.
The Trump administration says it will leave the fighting on the
ground here in Syria to the Kurds. But it's hard to see how
they'll be able to do that after US troops pull out because they
have no planes, no helicopters, and almost no heavy weapons.
He's just such a dope.
Now this is a pro war report you Don't buy. And there was a bunch
of discrepancies in here that I thought were weird. I thought we
were pulling out and made a deal with Turkey to take over and let
the courage go back to Curtis, what was formerly Curtis? Well,
there's another threat there that if Turkey messes with the
Kurds, then Trump would, yeah, destroy them, destroy them,
economically.
So why is Why is angles saying that the Kurds are going to take
over the fighting when it was supposed to be Turkey, who do
have air and all these other capabilities that the Kurds
supposedly don't have? Now, why was Why was this report being
made in the first place? And why would he report that the Kurds
are bitching and moaning, which is what he said about the
pullout? Which I don't believe by the way, I don't believe this
report. I think this report is slanted. And he has this little
that what really got me and got my attention to this report was
the little ISO he has in here, which is hardly what I would
call good reporting by making this commentary. And you could
see the ISO hardly mission accomplished.
Hardly mission accomplished. Yeah.
What would you say that it hardly Mission accomplished,
which has got which is not a reference to anything Trump has
said but a past references to call back to Bush on the
aircraft carrier with the mission accomplished banner,
which is a piece of propaganda that the US people like to use
to ridicule. Trump for some reason. Now, so this is some
scam ish about this. Oh, very, very unhappy with this report.
Let's have this conversation as if we're in the Pentagon. Hey,
did she DGC Did you see rich, great job.
He even snuck in that stupid. George W thing about our mission
accomplished. How great is he we should put a little something
extra in his paycheck for this week?
Well, there is that element. Somebody told him to make this
report that way. Oh, yeah. Because angles always been kind
of a stooge for for the intelligence agencies kind of
noticed that when I first picked up I picked up on it years ago
with that fake kidnapping you went through and all this other
stuff we ridicule on the show years ago, but there was also
this moment where he turned on the Intelligence Committee that
when Dianne Feinstein was leading it, and they wanted to
release the torture report, and he was all in with the CIA. No,
no, he shouldn't release it. What kind of journalists what
got me what kind of journalist wants less information? A lib
Joe made my point. Yes, you have. And I would like to thank
Gallup, Tom Starkweather, Danny loose, and William Eb, and
