Many producers just sit home scratch their crotch and say
grid Chu, Adam curry, John C. Devorah. There's April 25 2019.
This is your award winning get my nation media assassination
episode 1132. This is no agenda. We are the Netflix of news and
broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas
Capitol, the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
from Northern Silicon Valley where we're post a sefer I'm
John C. Devorah. Raglan Buzzkill.
We're what what did you say?
Post? Zephyr? Oh,
you were really soft there for a moment. You were like Jhansi
Dvorak. Judge and host this extra post? Sorry, we're a
little late for those on the live stream. Yes, yes. We we now
have Joe Biden in the race. It's about time who I call spike
Biden. Spike spike, spike the ball. Yes. Spike Biden, because
he's telling a Lee lie.
Spike. Okay. I don't quite get the
joke. Well, I'm going to of course you don't because I'm
going to unpack that for you. Joe Biden announced this morning
that he's running for the 2020 presidential election. And
here's what he's running on.
Charlottesville, Virginia, is home to the author of one of the
great documents in human history. We know by heart We
hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are
created equal, endowed by their creator with certain inalienable
rights. We've heard it so often it's almost a cliche, but it's
who we are. We haven't always lived up to these ideals,
Jefferson himself, but we have never before walked away from
them. Charlottesville was also home to a defining moment for
this nation in the last few years.
It was there on August of 2017. We saw Klansmen and white
supremacist and Neo Nazis come out in the open. Their crazed
faces, illuminated by torches veins bulging and bearing the
fangs of racism. chanting the same anti semitic bile heard
across Europe in the 30s. And they were met by a courageous
group of Americans in a violent clashes. And a brave young woman
lost her life. And that's when we heard the words the president
knighted states that stunned to the world and shocked the
conscience of this nation. He said there were, quote, some
very fine people on both sides, very fine people on both sides.
Those words, the president united states assigned a moral
equivalence between those spreading hate than those who
have the courage to stand against it. In a bad moment, I
knew the threat to this nation was unlike any I've ever seen in
my lifetime.
Okay, so this goes on for another two minutes, Joe was
running on the lie that the President insinuated that some
Neo Nazis are very fine people. And the reason I call them spike
Biden is because I finally got to finish the black Klansmen
movie. And I told you that I hadn't finished yet didn't know
it was 18 hours long. And but there's all this Trump stuff
that's, you know, the all these little quotes, like rapists and
murderers and things that are coming directly from him that he
slipped into the dialog and at the end of the movie, I know you
haven't seen it, and I have a feeling not many people have
seen the whole movie. No one is 18
hours long. There's a good reason.
I'll tell you because I mentioned this on the last
episode, no one emailed me or tweeted me and said, Oh, wait
until you get to the end of the movie. And so this was so
incredibly dishonest. So the movie kind of ends and then
there's this you know, long tunnel like shot, you know, one
of those where the background moves really fast. And the two
people in the foreground are are standing there. And then it goes
into this montage
you had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on
the other side that was also very violent Nazis. Not all of
those people were Neo Nazis, believe me. Not all of those
people were white supremacist. You also had people that were
very fine people. Because I
believe that the day in Charlottesville, this is a first
step. That's David Duke by the way, so it goes from very fine
people very fine. People were there and it goes straight to
David Duke. So what is wrong with this guy? Wow, well wait
for it. What is really wrong with this couple things one is
So they date these scenes and you see the the torch, the the
torches and the Jews will not replace us. Yeah. And then it
goes into Antifa clashing with, you know, the white supremacist,
and it's not a black bed. So the whole movies about black and
there's a side story of a Jew cop. I'm just saying it that
way, because that's how I say it in the movie. So that so there's
kind of a side story and then it goes, but it's really all about
the 6566 67 to equal rights. You know how blacks were
discriminated against the whole movie is that of course about
the Klan. But it's all white people you see, and then they
the input, they title it, Charlottesville, April, August
11 2017. And then they show Trump at Trump Tower. It's also
titled The her with a with a lower third August 12 2017.
That's a lie. First of all, because his initial reaction
that Trump gave his initial statement, which was not the
press conference at Trump Tower, was on August 12. But this was
August 15, when he gave this speech, so you just heard the
album fact, I'm going to just roll that back just a tiny bit,
so you can just hear again, because he he took a piece, then
put in some more footage, and then went into the quote and
then chop it off. So again, here we go. I believe it's a day in
Charlottesville. This is a first Sorry, that was David Duke.
Alright, here we go.
So very violent Nazis. Not all of those people were Neo Nazis,
believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacist,
but you also had people that were very fine people.
Because I believe that day to day goes straight into David
Duke, here's the original, but you
also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You
had people in that group? Excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same
pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were
there to protest the taking down of to them a very, very
important statue, and the renaming of a park from Robert,
all that was taken out elite to another name. So you know what,
it's fine. You're changing history, you're changing
culture. And you had people and I'm not talking about the Neo
Nazis and the white nationalist, because they should be condemned
totally. But you had many people in that group other than Neo
Nazis, and white nationalists. Okay. And the press has treated
them absolutely, unfairly. Now, in the other group, also, you
had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers, and you
see them come with, with the black outfits. And with the
helmets, and with the baseball bats, you got you had a lot of
bad you had a lot of bad people in the other group.
So I think it's a little bit out of context. Well, of
course, this has been thematic. And of course, it's automatic
with our shows, principles, which is that once they get to
create a meme that that's false, they're forever mean, it's there
forever, and gamification is what they do, and then they
stick with it, no matter how many times you bring out the
real, the real quotes, which include this, this screed
against the fascists or the Nazis,
for Joe Biden to be running on that out of the gate is Joe
Biden's obviously an idiot? Well, he he must believe this
and be the people who are advising him must believe this
some day. I think they do believe it, and no one's ever
bothered to actually look into it. They're just going with the
good but that's what the public thinks anyway. So what? Well,
and this is not about Donald Trump, this is I've been through
this, I've had this happen to me, you've had this happen to
you, when you get certain things that just become truth forever
and ever. I always like to point it out. Like when people say,
Oh, the verdicts in their mouths is stupid. Do we really need to
know? He said, I said there's no evidence at the time there was
no
evidence. No, this is 1984 Right. So I want
to defend that defend it for you. I defend it for anybody but
to have Joe Biden running on that out of the gate. I'm sure
that's not his only his only point but man.
Well, he's
got besides that, and all the baggage. He's actually on my
list of contenders list them to post on the cosmic weenie. I
bumped him down because of the I think he's gonna keep getting
bumped down. Oh, really? Because Bernie is at the top.
Oh, right. All the polls say Oh, Biden's even ahead of Trump now.
Lies.
And what about Mayor Pete? He's moving up, mate. Well, Mayor
Pete I In a very huge
throw your whole theory, by the way about that is right on the
money. And you can see him moving up. There's this big
story today. And they said with all these fine women, Kamala
Harris and Warren, and they mentioned Clinton, but they had
mentioned somebody else. Klobuchar. So all these fine
women running, how come Mayor Pete is shooting past them in
the polls? Well, could
it be this, you can call it whatever you like. This is about
sanctuary cities from the CNN town hall. You can call
it whatever you like. That's our policy. We're a welcoming city.
And I guess the President thinks America is full. We're not, I
would be delighted. To have more people. We have a population
growth strategy. In our city. Our city was built for 130,000
people, but don't we only have 100,000 Because so many people
left after the auto factories collapsed in
100,000. What kind of this is not a city. This is a hamlet,
Hamlet, the 60s.
We got plenty of room for more residents and taxpayers who want
to help fund snowplowing and the firefighters that I got to have
for 130,000 people's worth the city with only 100,000 people to
pay for it. And let us not forget that in many respects,
from property taxes to sales taxes, undocumented immigrants
are taxpayers and the truth is, in many respects, because they
are not eligible for a lot of benefits. They are subsidizing
the rest of us, which is just one more reason we got to get
this sorted out.
Thank you illegal aliens. Thank you. Thank you for subsidizing
my life. It's so appreciated.
Brother guys. Hi. Yeah, this guy. Yeah, it does. And I mean,
I think as cities I think of like, Mexico City, you know, 14
million.
Yeah. I mean, Austin is barely a city.
Yeah. Was Austin's population? A million.
You got a million? Yeah, it's
a million. Yeah, that's at least at least. And they're all in
traffic. Other than you're right. I Hamlet. He's a small
town. Yeah. 100,000 is big for a
lot. But he has a positive what he calls a positive growth
strategy, which would be I don't know encourage people to have
children.
No, that would be negative family friendly city that would
do it.
Now. There's an idea. Family friendly. Your population. Bring
his family isn't idea we're trying to be family unfriendly.
And Austin. Oh,
yeah. The dog friendly.
Oh, my goodness. Stop with the dogs. So you were tracking
Hillary who did not? Did she do an op ed?
She's done. She's starting to bury heads popping up every
which way. She's making commentary everywhere. I didn't
see an op ed, but I'm sure that she's done.
I think she wrote an op ed and she was on stage at some time
magazine event. And
oh, I have a clip. The 100 most influential people have it. Oh,
is
she in that? Is she she must be? I don't know too much.
I didn't look at the list. Here's what she firewall.
Here's what she had to say about of all things. My goodness, the
Muller report
before leaving Muller, your lawyer
your lawyer disbarred. But yeah, your lawyer.
Did Donald Trump obstruct justice as you read the
incidences, as Muller lays them out?
Well, I think there's enough there that any other person who
had engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted.
But because of the the rule in the Justice Department that you
can't indict a sitting president. The whole matter of
obstruction was very directly sent to the Congress. I mean, if
you read that part of the report, it could not be clear. I
mean, I you know, as I read it, basically what I thought it was
saying is, look, we think he obstructed justice. Here are 11
examples of why we think he obstructed justice. But we're
under the control of the Justice Department. And their rule is
you can't indict. But we do have checks and balances in America
and there is this thing called the Congress. I mean, you could
not be more explicit than please look at this. You may look at it
and conclude it doesn't rise to an impeachable offense. That's
your job, but I'm giving this to you.
Wow. So she takes put a bunch of stuff in here that's not in
there. Well,
quite the opposite is, in fact true. As the I think it was the
attorney general, was it Muller was asked specifically now the
Attorney General was asked specifically, if there was no
indictment on obstruction of justice because you can't indict
a sitting president. That to which he answered No several
times this came up on that with crystal ball, which I think is a
great It radio name. But she's on what does she I think she's
on the
bitched about her before she used to be on MSN, MSN regular
with your buddy Touray
Ah, yes, well, now she's on Hill TV, and she had Joe Digenova on
as a guest, and it didn't. hilarity ensued, we shall say,
but it starts off with exactly this point.
Barr said he asked Moeller, three separate times. Did you
base your decision on the fact that a sitting president cannot
be indicted? And Muller said I did not.
It literally says, Here are the considerations of justice.
Is Muller a liar? I'm asking
if Barr is a liar is really the question here because it says
very clearly here. One of them.
Should have said I would have brought charges. But I can't
bring
exactly what he should have. Let me just say something. You said,
Don't you dare suggest that Bill Barr is a liar. I've known him
for 30 years. He's one of the finest lawyers this country has
produced. He came back out of retirement to serve this
country. There's not one shred of evidence that anything he
said that the other day or now or today was a lie. Don't ever
say that in front of me about Bill Barr. You have no evidence
that he lied. And you know what I'm telling you, you said he may
have lied. What I'm
telling you is that what he said this today in the press
conference is inconsistent with what's in our backs. Not a lie.
That's okay, fine.
It's not fine that we're on national television calling the
Attorney General liar. I didn't say that. You suggested it very
strongly. Alright.
I think we're done here.
I think we are. Good.
That's the best kind of television though. I love it.
What is it really? That people
love to see cat fight? That's what you want, man? Yeah, no,
but the host for one thing, the host can handle that. Especially
to her. Oh, now she's
sensitive before we get into a very
playing roll MSNBC game there. And this guy was just like
putting it out.
While he's playing his fox game. Isn't he on Fox all the time? To
genuine? Yeah, I think so. I think he's a fox.
I think
that before I move into any collusion, I got a text just
before the show. And this is something for your, for your
cosmic weenie rundown. This is from one of the millennials. And
she says, just so you know, front runner for my age group
and education level is Elizabeth Warren. And to which I and of
course, I was dealing with the mic issues. And so I I texted
back. Well, of course, you know, no, no more debt. And she got a
little offended because you know, it's just a text. No, no,
no, no, I'm agreeing with you. This Yes. This is exactly what
we're all saying we have 10s of 1000s of dollars worth of debt
will vote for someone to get to remove that. The question is,
can she motivate them to vote? Well,
if once they realize that she's full of crap, she is a do
nothing. Senator, she has never done anything. She talks a big
game. And if you're going to be suckered by somebody just
talking a big game, they talked a big game, I'm gonna vote for
her, then it's a problem you've got, but it's not she's not
viable as a candidate. But that platform.
does get attention though,
gets lots of I understand. I feel like Yes, please. Get rid
of my debt. Absolutely. As no future, or the future seems
someone
getting rid of Rachel the robo caller.
Even though she tried, Rachel the robo caller. So you tweeted
something very important the other day? I did. Yes, you did.
I need more followers.
It was a it was a deconstruction of the written transcript. Or
maybe it was the record of the FISA renewal hearing, which took
place in was that 2017 I think, I don't remember the end of
2017. And it was with Admiral Rogers, who runs and I'm going
to try and paraphrase it but what comes out of this report is
the real reason for the Russia collusion mean, and and I'm just
going to help me out here because I did pull two clips
just to accentuate it. But in general, around 2016, Rogers
discovered that there were consultants inside the NSA Say
database. And they were either directly doing so called about
queries, which means you can just take a phone number or an
IP address and say, Hey, click box 17. Tell me who this is. And
then it will spit that back. And then that was being exported
outside of the NSA to get contractors is not all that
uncommon. Ed Snowden was a contractor as an example. And so
it came to light that this was taking place. And it turns out
it was happening. Yes.
Give you a little more backup. Rogers noticed, just through
done his dailies that the numbers of these queries had
skyrocket.
Let's play that clip. And then this is exactly what he's
saying. This is Senator Lankford, who of course,
understand this. This is all showboating. So he knows exactly
what he's asking. And Rogers knows exactly what he's
answering
Admiral Rogers this spring, NSA decided to stop doing about
queries. That was a long conversation that's happening
there. It's now come out in the public about that conversation,
that that was identified as a problem. The court agreed with
that, and that has been stopped. What I need to ask you is who
first identified that as a problem?
The National Security Agency. Okay,
so how did you report that reported that to who How did
that conversation go once you identified, we were
uncomfortable with this type.
So in 2016, I had directed our Office of Compliance, let's do a
fundamental baseline review of compliance associated with 702.
Okay, we complete that that effort, my memory is, I was
briefed on something like October the 20th. That led me to
believe the technical solution that we put in place is not
working with the reliability that's necessary right then from
memory and had through went to the Department of Justice and
then on to the FISA court. At the end of October, I think it
was something like the 26th of October, and we informed the
court, we have a compliance issue here. And we're concerned
that there's an underlying issue with the technical solution we
put in place, we told the court, we're going to need some period
of time to work our way through that the court granted us that
time in it in return, the Court also said we will allow you to
continue 702 under the 16 authorizations. But we will not
will not reauthorize 17 until you show us that you have
addressed this.
So what he was seeing was, and this follow up clip to this,
what he was seeing was a high number of errors occurring based
upon people doing an about query. And he felt that the
about query is really that's close to unmasking in this
database. And according to Section 702, is not allowed to
be used to spy on American citizens in the US American
citizens abroad. Foreign nationals in the US are also not
allowed to spy on them. That can only be incidental, the
unmasking if you're tracking someone in another country, not
a US national who happens to be talking about or to an American.
But that could be inside the United States. And that would be
accidental. And here's what happened.
When you say greater reliability. Tell me what you
mean by that.
Because it was generating IRS or office of in compliance
highlighted a specific number of cases in 2016. And I thought to
myself, clearly, it's not working as we think it is. We
were doing queries unknowingly to the operator, and a handful
of situations against us person that I just said, Hey, that is
not in accordance with the intent of the law.
Clearly, clearly, it's not not only the intent, it's actual
stuff that we protect US persons from versus foreign directed. So
what I'm hearing from you is the accountability system worked.
Yes, sir, that the issue rose up. We're collecting, we do have
information on US persons. We don't want to get that
information ability, immediately the process started going
through to be able to stop it. The court then put the final
stop on it. It was corrected, and then that's now cleared.
Yes, sir.
And in fact, we're purging the data as well not only stopped
doing it, but we're purging the data that we had collected under
the previous authorization.
So what did not come out in this hearing, but was in this written
transcript and links in the show notes was a fantastic breakdown
by was that the conservative tree house was that a Breitbart
operation? Who
is that? I have no idea, something like
that. Is that so that ability stopped at the end of 2016?
Because something was it was being abused, and they shut it
down. But what we find out is this had been going on since
2012. And the and the only explanation for that is that the
Obama administration, most likely, with State Department
were spying on all kinds of Americans since 2012. All of a
sudden it stopped. That's when Hillary writes an email We're
all going to hang together, because spying on Americans will
send you to jail for a long time. And the insurance policy
that Paige and struck spoke about was not to stop Donald
Trump from becoming president, it was to insert the steel
dossier into the spying they had already done as justification so
that the spying would not come above board. Then all of a
sudden, she didn't, because she didn't become president, they
trigger the so called insurance policy. And then they're able to
bring in Bob Muller, who knows this extremely well. He's been a
part of of how the system works. In fact, he will, he also
oversaw the prism system, which started as promised, do you
remember the promise system? It was a silicones.
I do remember it vaguely.
It was a Silicon Valley company called NS law. And they
developed this database that they licensed to the NSA, and
FBI, and Bob Mueller was overseeing it, and people were
throwing everything in here. Then they loved it, it became
this massive, massive collection of VIN numbers on cars. And now
house titles and credit cards. And everyone's just jam it in
there was really the precursor to prism and prism we heard
about from from Snowden, of course. And now this is all tied
into these new surveillance databases. And Mueller. I won't
say he was directly responsible. But they all of a sudden, they
said to this little Silicon Valley company in his law, now
we're not interested anymore, we're not going to we're not
going to use you anymore. But then they just kept using it.
And they kept me and they kept giving copies of the database
and the actual program to other countries, because they would
call ins law and say, Hey, we need some tech support, but they
never bought the program, put this company out of business.
It's a great story. People died in the process. Oh, I
don't know about that. That's why I was hoping you will
remember this.
You can do a Google search. So number of people died. Somebody
looking into a die. Didn't know that. A bunch of people died.
Yeah, the government was killing him.
So for me, it's like, Oh, my God, this whole thing is a
complete sideshow. With buy in from the media and all political
parties. And it's what a fantastic cover up. And so
Muller was in there, just making sure that all of that goes away.
And you heard Admiral Rogers say, oh, no, we're purging all
that data to I'm sorry to hear that. Sorry. You're hearing
you're covering up the tracks of who might have exported that. Or
hopefully you didn't, but And wasn't it Rogers, who went to
Trump and said, Hey, man, they're spying on you. Yes. That
was Rogers. There you go. So that's what went down. This was
to, to to save their own hides from 2030 years in jail if it
ever comes out. And of course, it was Susan Rice's name who was
who was used and who's the whack job? Who was the ambassador to
the UN. She's with Cass Sunstein.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Her the redhead? Sunstein his wife,
Samantha Power. Thank you. Yeah. Well, I
have a bob woodward clip on this.
I had the same one. But this is a good clip.
Yeah, this clip does bring in another element, which is that
we always have to readjust our thinking about Bob Woodward,
came out of military intelligence, and probably still
gets a paycheck from somebody because all these books he does
is just no one person can do those. So he's somebody's
writing them. He's writing them. But
didn't he also, didn't he write on his blog still available that
CIA's all over the media integrated? Wasn't that his own?
That's yeah, that's, that's,
that's the actual spy. Okay. No, no, neither? Well, neither one
of them. I think no. Woodward's, the I believe to be the actual
Spy Based on the stories told in family of Secrets by Baker, Rush
Baker. You know, he brings up all this information that makes
it obvious, but but I always have to reset myself because I
don't think he was ever in the CIA. I think he's always been
part of Defense Intelligence. Oh, could be, could be his best
because he came out of Navy intelligence. So it makes sense.
Or it could still be a navy intelligence, which is one of
the oldest intelligence services in the country, goes back to the
1700s. Anyway, but listen to what he has to say. And he kind
of slams the CIA and this
is more than two years ago, back in January of 2017. When the
steel dossier first surfaced. I remember you're saying right
here on this show that it is a quote, garbage document. Do you
feel that the Muller report basically discredited it and to
what degree do you think it played a role in the Russia
investigation? Well, That's what's going to be investigated
by lots of people, including the Attorney General and including
Senator Lindsey Graham. And I Inspector General is also doing
Yes. And it should be. I mean, what I found out recently, which
was really quite surprising, the dossier, which really is got a
lot of garbage in it, and Muller found that to be the case, early
in building the intelligence community assessment on Russian
interference in an early draft, they actually put the dossier on
page two in kind of a breakout box. I think it was the CIA
pushing this real intelligence experts looked at this and said,
No, this is not intelligence, this is garbage. And they took
it out. But in this process, the idea that they would include
something like that, in one of the great stellar intelligence
assessments, as Muller, also found out is highly
questionable, needs to be investigated.
Now, how would he even know that in a draft, it was on page two
unless he was really in the know,
he's really in the know.
So as I think we agreed in the thesis of the show is this
Mueller investigation was a a cleanup a mop up of this spying
for four years on, perhaps political opponents. There's
also insinuation that the IRS scandal that that original IRS
database which was delivered on compact discs to the Office of
Eric Holder, that that was the original political spying. So if
this, if this indeed is what it looks like a cleanup operation,
I don't think Muller can was able to make it clean that no
one gets busted. I think there needs to be a fall guy.
Or a couple.
Well, I'm thinking struck and page
struck and page are targets. But they're a little too convenient.
It seems to me. Wow, you could just yeah, you could probably
put a case around struck and page and make it look like
there's just a couple of rogue FBI
folk. Well, they're the ones talking about the insurance
policy and text messages. So that's kind of smoking gun.
Yeah, once we understand what that means.
Well, he's never fully explained it. No,
but that's maybe that's what Mueller put in place. No, no,
we're
fine. Now this is rolling out kind of nice and smoothly.
But it's just it's mind boggling to me, because we already
thought this but then when I read that whole face a
transcript and like, oh, man, everything has been aside show
the whole kit and caboodle. And now I can't watch any of these
discussions. It's just dumb. He's completely dumb. There's
nothing to do with what happened. And other other people
must have figured this out. It can't be just us here in our
little no agenda hole.
I'm sure a lot of people I mean, when you see even Woodward when
he's talking on that. Chris Wallace.
I think he's covering his own ass. For sure.
At the same time, he probably knows a lot more than he's ever
going to talk about on TV. Yeah.
Yeah. All right, that we saw that
from I have, you know, here's a good one. Yeah. So lighten
things up. So Zuckerberg has a podcast now.
Yeah. Which I was excited at first, and then it turns out,
it's just going to be from this.
I want to listen to the whole thing. No, of course. And so I
did. I did cut a few things out. And but for the most part, I
think I've got I've got the essence of his podcast.
Stop. Whenever you say you cut a few things out. I'm thinking
there's a Jhansi Dvorak montage of epic epic proportion coming
down the pipe.
Well, let's find out
everyone today. I've traveled to Berlin that that publishes and
you've really dedicated your career to of of us. And I don't
know if you want to you want to start off there we have a lot of
stuff to cover and that to do Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Let me guess You have quite a beard growth this morning.
Seeing as you use all your razor blades, no The
good one. That's pretty much
the podcast is a lot of podcast news today.
And before you go into the podcast news, I want to say Did
you listen to the HM plug for was barely found some research
that indicates there are 500,000 podcasts?
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. It's just like, sure. Sure. It's just
like blogs. Now the best. There's two things happening as
the best is this Netflix of podcasting, which I've now
heard, Spotify is gonna be the Netflix of pot, Amazon, audible
was going to be the Netflix of podcasting. And now we have this
new app luminary, the Netflix of podcasting where you become a,
they have exclusive podcasts that you can't get anywhere
except inside their app.
Yeah, great. But you're no one's gonna listen to those podcasts.
Yeah, the thing is, didn't we go through all of this ones before?
Haven't we been around this horn? So first about being the
Netflix of anything. This is It's like being the Uber of
anything. Yeah. Someone said correctly. Well, Reed Hastings
is worth the $3.7 billion. Yeah, they burn $10 million a month at
Netflix. They're not in a in a money making operation. Nor is
Uber. They are not money making cars and really losing this. But
yeah, so they lose Netflix had to pay $100 million, just to
keep friends on their on their system. Yeah, and and when you
are the conduit between the content, and the consumer, is a
horrible business to be in. Trust me. I know it's true.
Because the minute you have success with something, the
price goes up. That's just how it works. So friends, friends
hasn't been on for what 20 years now when friends go off the $100
million in licensing fee. Yeah, so here's the problem. Another
mistake. That is an obvious one. And we've seen it happen before
with this luminary. So of course, they want to make free
podcasts like the no agenda show available to people in their in
their super secret app. So you know, so they're paying certain
I think they have some famous people doing podcast, but
doesn't matter get good on them. So someone's making some good
money doing a show for this luminary outfit. But and this
happened we've seen this before. And I can't believe that they
fell for it, it didn't do the research. Apparently, in that
app, they are sucking in the individual shows. So the this
episode, which would be N A Dash 1132 Dash 209 Dash o four dash
two, five dash final dot mp3. They store that on their own
server, so that they can count downloads against it to
ultimately sell ads around our show. Or any other free show.
Sure. Well, that's a copyright violation. You can't do that.
How's it a copyright violation?
You literally take a copy of our show and sell ads around it.
That's a violation.
Yeah, but where are we come in with attribution isn't that I
think is doable.
So what if in the middle of the show all of a sudden there's a
stop and then an ad comes on your
there's an ad that that can't be done?
But they can do it right before the show starts? I would think
so. Yeah. Well, you understand that a lot of other podcasters
who do not employ the value for value model are a angry because
they won't get a piece of that be? They can't track it. They
can't track how many people use luminary to play the show.
Yeah, it's impossible. Yeah.
So this is a backlash of epic and yet completely predictable
proportions for this course 100 Million Dollar Startup but a
bunch of idiots
well, they're good depends on what you call idiot. They are a
possibly just working on the investment dime in other words,
you give yourself a you know, you can't overdo it. But you
can. You can live for a couple of years on a couple of 100
million dollars investment into your company have to pay a lot
of people keep the the spinning plates in the air. Yeah, but you
know, it's something to do.
thing is we've been through this I mean, even even pod show had a
version
of this is the undie investors. The investors do dumb money
that's puts money into these things. Never was the last time
for example, there's all these major companies that put money
into these podcasting schemes, gimblett and all the rest of
We're highly financed as any of the VCs, the venture capital
guys, the guys who, who really have to do due diligence because
it's usually somebody else's money they're using. Did they
ever call it Adam curry, the guy who invented the whole thing and
actually ran a network called pod show? Does anybody ever call
you just routinely have to talk to you so they don't make a
stupid mistake when they throw their money down the drain?
No, no, no. Never.
Never makes no sense whatsoever.
Yeah. Yeah, it's so now because of this. There's calls for
unionization.
Yes, this is again, this is our both I think we both join on
this silliest thing ever
podcast monetization problems a call for unionization and
platform exclusivity. This too has been discussed 15 years ago,
we've been through all of it you can probably just Bing it and
you will find the answers to these problems which are to fuck
you can't do it. It's not going to happen it's not how it works
you also most people do not deserve to make money with their
podcast because it's not it doesn't attract enough
interested people. Or it's just shit it's like blogs I remember
the blog was the same thing. Well I'm right now I should get
paid for my writing. We went through this Oh, I just over and
over again.
Well, this reminds me of the British Podcast Awards.
Oh yes, this is sponsored by BBC
British podcast awards.com/vote British cars bet you can go
there now they do have their categories but you can't vote on
those but there's a thing at the top says vote and it's called
the People's Choice Awards. If you type into search engine no
agenda you will see a whole list of no agenda connections
with with a phone with a phony baloney show was the first one
which pisses me off.
The one the first one on my list was the no agenda podcast. The
first one was the no agenda podcast with the Rolling Stones
tongue. Is that what you voted for? I didn't vote. You didn't
vote for your own show. Why? What kind of Academy member are
you?
I'm going to vote it's the session I was on. I was on a
phone browser like I couldn't see anything to vote on. But so
the first one is a fake
Yeah. There's there's five or six in there and are and it
doesn't it just has no agenda doesn't say the official no
agenda.
This is a scam then
yes. We will never get our pee buddy this way. There was me
there were podcasts that one Peabody awards, by the way.
Yeah, but they're all They're all repurpose. Yes. Broadcast
shows all NPR stuff. Yeah, it was not one real podcast. Well,
I'm disappointed what you said is true man.
Happy Anzac Day.
New Zealand and Australia. As we've we've done this before
25th of April 25 of April 1915. New Zealand and Australia
remember the landings at Gallipoli? I think it is
Galapagos. Literally Gallipoli the first major international
war action neither of their armies was involved in
so they might well it's like a remember this bit. it well. No,
it's like it looks like a Veterans Day. Go happily ma just
want to say Happy Anzac Day. I remember the last time we talked
about it. We couldn't figure out what Anzac meant meant. Of
course, the NZ is from New Zealand, Australia.
Well, this is also the digital period where we did Spanish
American War started in 1898. Yes, you wrote quite extensively
about that in the newsletter not too extensively but extensively
enough that it killed the donated component. Well, hey,
nice.
Hey, I want some content in the newsletter. Okay, it's not
begging for money. Okay, here's some content Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
we Yes, exactly.
I feel obliged to put content in the newsletter once in a while
and it's just every is always comes out the same
Yes, it doesn't work. It's not a good idea isn't work.
People talk a big game again, Lizabeth Warren. Everybody talks
a big game about wanting content but you know when you give it
to, you get right down to
not really know
But that was a quite quite the phony baloney war. And one of
our early false flags. Yes. Blew up domain.
I liked the picture.
The photo with the low sailors in the air
blasted into the sky. Worst. There was, let me see. I want to
do I have a cup that I found a lot of hoax and fake thing.
Actually, if we can just switch to green new deal for a second.
I think we can do this. I'm
sure you're happy to do. PBS had a had a guy on Adam
Higginbotham. And he's written a book about Chernobyl. The I
would say the most use example of reasons not to employ or
deploy nuclear energy. Because, you know, hey, 10s of 1000s of
people died, you know, people all over Europe got cancer was
horrible. Or was it? I'm pretty sure. What have we said
consistently on this show for the past 11 years about
Chernobyl? I don't know that it was bullshit. There was not the
10s of 1000s of people didn't die. And that,
that No, the thing did melt down. It wasn't bullshit. No, it
melted down. Sure. But it's not like the area is dead. It's
greener than it's ever been. They've kept that thing off. It
was a nuclear. It was a military nuclear facility. So it's, it
was more severe than anything, but it's one it's pretty much
the Aside from Fukushima. And most people from Fukushima died
from the tsunami. This has always been heralded as all
these people died. So this guy has written a book. And it's
really about technology and how we shouldn't trust technology.
But some interesting details came out. This is PBS, this
is almost 33 years ago. And here you are putting out a book now
what's untold about it?
Well, I would say that the principle aspect of what's
untold about it is that this version of the story is true.
What did we get wrong? Well, because the Soviet government
did such an excellent job of attempting to cover up the truth
of the beginning. You know, most people's conceptions of what
happened, kind of rooted in the initial propaganda for the
Soviet Union. And also, the misinformation that resulted
from a lack of information. So for example, you know, a lot of
people still think that 10s of 1000s of people died almost
immediately as a result of this accident. That's not the case.
That's not the case. And but part of the reason for that is,
is Western correspondents in Moscow, weren't allowed access
to any information. So they did their best with kind of rumors
and hearsay, with a result that I think within a week of the
accident, the New York Post was reporting the 15,000 people had
died, and their bodies buried in a nuclear waste dump somewhere
in Ukraine. And when in fact, it was what when, in fact, the
death toll from the accident by that point was two to one man
died in the initial explosion. A second man died by dawn that day
as a result of burns he sustained in the
explosion, and how do we calculate the ones who sort of
got horrible cancers?
I mean, the official figures are that within five months and
other 29 people have died as a result of as a result of
radiation exposure they're received in those few hours
after the first explosion. And then when you start to try to
not 15,002 And then another 29, from direct exposure to the open
corps at the time, and that's just kind of glossed over
10s of 1000s Yeah, New York is horrible new ground nuclear
disaster.
Exactly. Ah, and it
did look at the way they didn't and here's the thing about it,
you know, the media places thing is so we don't have the benefits
of nuclear power like the French do, and we could, but we don't
because we all reactors are custom made and they're too
expensive, and it's a gyp but here's the thing that gets me
about the anti nuke propaganda. So Fukushima goes off. And you
end up with you know, a lot a lot of chitchat about. The waste
is get in our way. We're all gonna get wiped out on the west
coast all the irradiated this.
Don't we have that guy with a Geiger counter on the beach,
or guy with a Geiger counter on the beach and then we have
people like Alex Jones seems to be on the right side. Listen to
this. This is from one of our clips from 2013. The Geiger
counter on the beach
In my mobile background, the alarms going off your aim on the
beach the similar levels we're dealing with here. And I'm
standing
straight up this cameras that this was the kind of shit that
was going on. Oh, we got it on the beach. It's in the it's in
the tuna in the sushi.
Yeah, so you can't eat to fish. But the point I was making is
you have the right wingers who should be pro nuke? Selling
iodine. Iodine. That's right. As if we're all gonna die because
of this Fukushima. I were just coming in. They'll be here next
week. It's a cloud. The cloud is coming over California and all
the rest of it. Yeah, me. Come on. The dolphins
are carrying nuclear, plastic. All kinds of stuff like this.
And now we have another hoax. Another green New Deal hoax.
Very disappointing that the famous Sir David Attenborough
has been is a part of this our planet.
Oh, yeah, he's co opted completely. Yeah. And it's
really good.
First of all, the guy has such a seminal voice for documentaries.
It's just pleasure pleasant to listen to him. And he instills
trust. Netflix has a promo out for our planet to documentary
series, narrated by the same David Attenborough. And it
features a scene of walruses falling off of a cliff bouncing,
I don't know if you've seen this bouncing on the rocks, and then
dying at the bottom and a bloody mess. And then, and then the
next one jumps off, and it falls backwards and it just dies on
top of the other one. And these are big animals. And well,
here's the scene from this. From the from the documentary, you'll
note that the people talking about what's happening and why
this is happening is not David Attenborough. It's the camera
guy and it's I guess a producer I'm not sure what her
credentials aren't She's crying.
Here we go. Why are they going up there literally to the top of
the rock is part of the clip.
Once at the top of the 80 meter cliffs, they rest until it's
time to return to the sea in such a food because that's the
last little section is ever really steep and they will just
really steep that was gonna go on there.
And now it's falling off in slow motion, bashing its head against
the rocks, blood spurting out, falling down
there's probably two or 300 Dead walrus on like a half mile
stretch, spit it that exhausted because after swim 100 miles now
to get to food and then coming back here because it's the only
place to sleep. They used to stay on the ice, dive down and
eat foods deep on the ice easy. And now this amount of miles
come into this place climbing cliffs and they're just
exhausted and falling down and either been killed falling or
crashing each other because there's several 1000 crammed
onto little tiny bits of beaches. This is the sad reality
of climate change. They'd be on the ice right now. If they could
be. But there's no option but to come to land. We're just a
danger to themselves. Really hard to watch pointless. This is
just so horrible.
This is the worst thing that climate change is done to
anything or anyone you see after the polar bears didn't die off.
Because of climate change. In fact, your population increased
substantially substantially. Now the walrus is the new polar
bear. And they're using it and they're using this to say
because there's not enough ice, they are driven onto land, and
there's too many of them and then they fall off the rocks to
their death. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from
the truth. This is called a land Hall. And walruses do this
periodically. They did it in the 1980s when the population
outstrips the food supply, they have they do this land haul
maneuver and they kill themselves in order to ensure
there's enough food for the younger generation. And in fact,
the walrus population is doing quite well it's up from 100,000
to 300,000. But yet because of glow We're warming they're
throwing themselves off of the cliff. A total lie. Yeah.
Shameful. But hey, well, you could be the Netflix of
podcasting.
Next, I have the clip of these climate change. Now I want you
to just pay careful attention here. Climate change, big
numbers of democracy now
and climate news. An alarming new report published in the
journal Nature Communications finds, without immediate action
to curb greenhouse gas emissions melting Arctic permafrost could
add as much as $70 trillion to the overall economic impact of
climate change. Wow.
70 trillion nice from melting ice.
And whose numbers were those?
She never said. I couldn't find them. But I'm sure somebody came
up with them. $70 trillion. That's a lot of money. But two
70 trillion, I think, yeah. What's the GNP is like, I don't
learn one or 2 trillion. I mean, it's like the whole the whole
world has to shut down. To pay for this is bullcrap. It's just
bullcrap. Yeah.
70 trillion.
It wasn't. I gotta look at the gnpc.
There was an interesting research study published by the
University of Chicago about the renewable portfolio standards,
something I had not heard of before. I'm
sorry, I'm sorry, our our, our G and P is 19. Point 6 trillion.
So this would be the entire production of the United States
for three, actually more than three years, three and a half
years to fix the problem of the melting ice anyway.
Okay. Well, unless you know, something else horrible is made
up to go along with that.
Yeah. Okay, shut it down.
Renewable Portfolio Standard, something that's been going on
since the turn of the millennium. And individual
states have these RPS is, which is the amount of renewable
energy you have to have. And there's a sliding scale for it
turns out there's 29 states that have these renewable portfolio
standards, Texas being one of them, surprisingly. And so, you
know, as we know, and I think you see more energy companies
advertising this fact, these days, we played one a couple
shows ago, when you have more renewable energy, you need more
gas fired energy, or it could be nuclear, but gas is these are
the people that are the happiest, they're like, Hey,
we're all in shit, we'll build some windmills, no problem. And
here's what the numbers break down to. Just to give you an
idea of what you really need in actual plant, capital or
capacity to go to keep in stride with the renewables, and it's a
very lengthy report. But the idea is, renewables have a 30%
capacity factor. So if you want to go to 50%, renewable, you
have to build 166% renewable capacity, which means you need
to have 115% baseload provided by fossil fuels, such as a gas.
So to get to the 50% renewable portfolio standard, you need
281% to ensure 100% baseload power. So, fossil fuel companies
are going to make out like, bandits because of this. And
that's the that's the truth of your green New Deal. To hunt
100. And so we're talking almost a three fold increase.
That's a lot of gas. Yes, too much.
And I put these this research in the show notes. It's, as I said,
it's like a 50 page document. But it's all from University of
Chicago, so pretty reliable. And just shows you that this is
where we're headed. You're You're literally making the
fossil fuel companies rich, and I'm not, you know, hey, consider
nuclear.
That's never done. That's why the thing is skirmish.
Well, I think because of these numbers. Now, I think the
nuclear industry is becoming interesting to investors. Wait a
minute. If we need to have that kind of a baseline power load,
then You know, the billion dollar investment per nuke plant
kind of looks okay over time, then I think you're going you
will see this change it has to, I don't think we can even
provide that much natural gas.
A lot of fracking going on.
Well, yeah, the whole country will sink because of the
fracking, but we'll have renewable energy. I just thought
that was a fascinating set of numbers. It's scary.
Well, let's go to Sri Lanka then and then catch up with this.
Okay, do you have any reports I got some thoughts on it. I got
one
from ITN and then I have an ISO, which is part two, four second
clip of part two of this, which is standalone ISO, it just so
happens to be the part two but report from Sri Lanka it is
Independent Television News that the
least trying to usher people away from the first of a series
of controlled explosions. They conducted across the capitol
today. A nervous public watching on as they dealt with another
suspicious vehicle. Security is at its highest level here. Even
at the morgue, where relatives are still arriving to identify
the dead. With the country's churches still in lockdown
details have started to emerge about those responsible for the
Easter Sunday attacks. This house in a quiet residential
area of Colombo was where the family of two brothers
responsible for the hotel bombings lived. When police
raided the property on Sunday, the wife of one of the men
triggered a suicide vest cineca lives on the same street.
But underpayment became a poor dilemma. The woman killed
herself and her two children and three policemen.
Neighbor Muhammad knew the bombers father and can't believe
his family were responsible.
Almost everybody knows from this lane. You know, he's famous guy
and he's a rich guy. And he's a good guy too. You never thought
this would have been nice house was a really big show for
everyone.
The government have confirmed all nine suicide bombers were
from well off Sri Lankan families, and one of them
studied in the UK. A worker at a copper factory owned by the
cinnamon grand bomber told us they were shocked when the bomb
squad turned up looking he's
very very good man.
Can I guess that's the I
know the ISOs what he has to say next
Inside English English. Understand? very bad, very bad.
You understand English what? Very bad.
Now, couple of things that have not been pointed out by anybody.
And I want to hear your thoughts also, which I'm sure are more
interesting than what I'm going to explain. Which is that they
showed a video of the one of the bombers walking down through
town and then going into one of the churches that blew up. And
he clearly had a backpack on. And it appears as if the
backpack was filled with explosives. And in Western
countries and Sri Lanka is pretty much westernized. It's
not an it's not weird to see people wandering around. And
I've always felt this is a bad trend. wandering around with
backpacks filled with stuff they go to the store with their
backpacks. I go to the store the other day and there's people
with backpacks on and vegetable store. And you know, and they
turn around and the backpack hitch and yes, the same guy the
same thing on the country with a huge backpack and he's waggling
it off and we are rolling. You know the wheels were invented
for a reason. But okay, you want to carry around a load your
Sherpa you're going to walk around this back, but I think
these guys have switched and so when they said that this woman
blew up a vest to kill the her juror. Yes. I don't believe so I
believe was a backpack. I think that the future of these these
bombers is backpacks. Not vest is too hot. Nobody's me. Well, I
mean, in the Middle East that people do this because they were
black and insaan and 40 degrees out. But in other countries like
Sri Lanka being a good example, people are in short sleeves.
They don't really have. There's no reason I'm going to be
wearing a vest. But they will be carrying around backpacks and I
think this needs to be I think they did to bombers and figured
this out.
Oh, David Hogg can sell some of his clear plastic backpacks.
While you're required by law, yeah, could be.
Well, so you had some thoughts? Yeah, I
have. There's a number of things going on. And first of all, it's
always disturbing to realize that the United States Navy
started A huge exercise in Sri Lanka on the 19th of April, a
multi day exercise, so we had a lot of people there in the port.
Just always interesting to note whenever you have that going on,
I think that, well, it's obvious that this operation was not just
some willy nilly thing. It was organized quite well. We
immediately had a boogie man who we never heard of before
national Tao Heath Jamaat, immediately right away, just
like 911 We hit up, here's a passport. This is this got to be
these guys. And please recall that we had two clips from Fox
News, when the notre DOM was burning people saying, hey, wait
a minute, there's something going on with the churches and
people and they shut them down. Shut up, you can't talk about
it. Not a typical Fox News move. Who love conspiracy, certainly,
if it's anti Islamic, I think that this interrupted the
operation. And the last thing the people running the Sri Lanka
operation wanted was people calling out for more hate being
generated against Islamist in Europe, versus where this took
place. At two clips here, just to give you some thoughts as a
former, a quote, former FBI agent on Fox News, I think it
was Shep Smith actually. And this is the intelligence
community's line. And I know that because I got an email from
Botanik. And, and, you know, fully recognizing he's my
handler to a degree. His email said you should do a show about
how Christians have been persecuted all around the world.
I've been tracking this forever. This huge. He's never told me to
do a show about anything. He has never even listened to the show.
As far as I know. She hears he keeps saying how's your radio
show? Okay, fine. Great, great radio show. So that to me said
something. Oh, you want to be pushing the anti Christian meme?
I'm not so sure. Let's listen to the FBI guy first, who's read in
on the topic.
And retired FBI special agent. Bobby should come up, Bobby,
thank you for being here this morning. Tough news, but not,
not yet. Obviously, for someone like you, this is not something
new. We've seen Muslim radical terrorist groups attacking
Christians around the globe. What does this attack tell you?
Well, it's an outreach right. So we've had relative stability in
Sri Lanka for at least the 10 years since the Civil War ended.
So it tells me that this radical ideology is spreading the Indian
subcontinent now being attacked. And so you know, it's another
sign that the Middle East is not the, the sole source of these
attacks and that we'll see more of these attacks in places where
we've seen relative stability.
Okay, and how did that Yeah, boy Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You can wait
for it. So they're setting something up? Yeah. This group
njt You're right. There hasn't been Oh, you can have an acronym
for them now. nj t. Did you steal? Yeah. Oh, yes. This is
very quickly things John. Never heard of these nj t guys up
there. They are on the scene pushed by everybody stop
you for a second and mention one thing because there was a lot of
battling going on. We heard about terrorism going on in Sri
Lanka. But you have to always remember that during that era,
which just ended 10 years ago as the Civil War now Civil War, it
will well wasn't a civil war as much as it was terrorism. But
between two opposing forces, but it was Buddhists, Buddhists,
Hindus. Yes. And this is no Muslim component in Manal all of
a sudden there is in fact,
the jumping the gun a little bit. But you're correct. The
Muslim population is very small under 10%. In Sri Lanka,
Christian population about 7%, the majority are Buddhists. If
you're going to send a message to somebody which this is, and
I'll get to that, you don't, especially in light of the the,
okay. It's historians call it civil war, everything I've read,
but it was Hindus against Buddhists. And in fact, you had
radical Buddhists. So we don't want to spark off something
internally. We got to blow somebody up. Well, we're not
going to blow up Muslims. Let's blow up some Christians. And you
know, by the way, there were hotels, and not necessarily
there were three hotels, three churches, but not necessarily
all places of worship. But you want to avoid the Hindus or the
Buddhists, because that could set off some other stuff when
you're just doing this to send a very clear message. Yeah, this
group njt You're right. There hasn't been radical Islamic
terrorism in Sri Lanka, but their aim is to spread the
global Islamist movement to that country. So The suicide bombings
there. Those are the types of things we saw from al Qaeda and
ISIS, I mean, is this part of that same strand still alive?
Sure. And make no mistake be while they're identifying this
group as the one that carried it out the planning and the support
that was needed to carry out an attack like this has undoubtedly
been supported by significant assistance from outside of Sri
Lanka, I would not be surprised if the investigation determines
that there was significant assistance coming from groups
outside that country to support and appreciating this is a very
coordinated very planned this small local group inside
SriLanka. While it could have carried out an attack like this,
I doubt that they did. So without material support from
outside that country. So we have to look at ISIS, we have to look
at our Qaeda, we have to look at some of the other international
groups that are that are able to send that kind of support both
financial training, bomb making equipment, bomb makers, and
those kinds of things. I would imagine they're going to find a
lot of that support came from outside,
outside, oh, he makes it clear outside, outside, outside, okay,
outside. I've
said it many more times before it became obvious.
Remember that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tweeted
about Easter worshippers, all part all people who I believe
and I know this sounds cracked potty, but I believe they all
knew something was coming. They didn't know exactly what it was.
But they knew something was coming. It was a big message to
Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka has had an ongoing dispute with India.
India does not want them in bed with China as part of One Belt,
One Road, what has China duck just done, they have poured
hundreds of billions of dollars into the port, the very port
where the US Navy was during this attack, doing an exercise I
believe, and you look at the political things that political
things have gone on with an appointment of a an interior
minister who was then kicked out because India didn't want it
because that guy was friendly to China. This was India, with help
from, I think us sending a message saying, screw you, you
have to get China out of there. We can't it's very important.
And again, it's in the shipping lane. Look on the map where Sri
Lanka is, yeah, as part of the choke points, the Chinese have
put up the militarized parts of this port part of this base. So
we're there to make sure they don't go crazy and do something
while this operation takes place. It can't be Buddhists or
Hindi. It has to be what we're not going to do Muslims, so
might as well do the Christians in a couple of hotels. And I
think people puking knew about it. That's why they were trying
to keep it calm. We don't want this huge thing. We only want it
focus on this one little group in Sri Lanka. This group, by the
way, which trained apparently, in the same area where the Tamil
Tigers trained. And I'm pretty sure we all know who trained the
Tamil Tigers because that was the US. Same as ISIS. It's it.
This is really unbelievable.
Are you done?
Yeah, I'm done. I think we had a lot to do with it. I
wouldn't be surprised. I have no evidence of that. But it
wouldn't surprise me.
Now all we have is parallels to past events. And when you have
something that happens like this, and you immediately point
towards the story
sketchy, and that this new group and they're named instantly, I
mean all earmarks of of hoax, here's not a hoax, that didn't
happen, because nowadays, they don't care if they kill anybody.
So I saw I replied to Botanics email. And I said, Yeah, that's
persecution happens, but I can't and I laid it out. I can't get
past the path past the fact of this. This Chinese deal. The
Indians very vocal. No, we're not just us. I have a whole
article here about William Avery saying India must kick China out
of Sri Lanka. I mean, this is this is not something that just
happened. And I laid out this, this idea to him, he never
replied to it. I sent him another email. He replies to
that almost three minutes later. So, you know, I think in his
older age, he's not getting too good at the handling because the
idea is keep everyone focused on Christians, Christians. And of
course it was Christians big problem. There's a lot
of goodwill that's owed to you and sex slave resolution was
about Christians, which just went through I have a clip here
if you want to play that. Yeah.
I know anything about this United Nations Security Council
passed a resolution Tuesday aimed at ending rape as a weapon
of war after the US used a veto threat to strip the measure of
any mention of sexual and reproductive health. The Trump
administration's successful move to water down the measure over
its opposition to abortion was blasted by Francis UN Ambassador
Who said quote, It's intolerable and incomprehensible that the
Security Council is incapable of acknowledging that women and
girls who suffered from sexual violence and conflict and who
obviously didn't choose to become pregnant should have the
right to terminate their pregnancy, unquote. The
resolution was championed by Nobel Peace laureate Nadia
Murad, I guess IDI Kurdish human rights activists from Iraq. She
was kidnapped by the Islamic State repeatedly raped she was
held as a sex slave for almost three months.
Wow. Where did this take place?
This will what their sex slave slave? Yeah. No, no, that was
referring to the that whole ISIS incidents where they?
Oh, yes, yes, yes. It's
a Christian angle. Again, this is a Christians from UCT.
I also saw Amala Amal Clooney was at the UN talking about
this.
Yeah. And so everyone's talking about but they're all there to
trash Trump because apparently the administration doesn't want
this to be just a sort of a government funded abortion
operations where they see it. But then then I have the other
clip I have is a Sri Lankans official, apologizes. And
there's some information in here when you say this was these guys
knew this was coming to might be kind of hinted in this clip. Sri
Lankan
officials apologized Monday for failing to respond to multiple
tip offs ahead of Sunday's eight attacks. A confidential memo
circulated among Sri Lankan security agencies gave the
names, addresses and phone numbers of some of the suspects.
It's not clear why authorities failed to act on the warnings.
One surveillance video showed a suspect wearing a backpack
casually strolling towards St. Sebastian church north of
Colombo minutes before a bomb ripped through a crowd of Easter
Sunday worshippers, killing more than 100 of them. On Tuesday,
the self proclaimed Islamic State claimed responsibility for
the bombings, the group circulated a video purporting to
show eight members of Sri Lankan cell pledging allegiance to the
group.
Now I have to say that generally speaking, when the ISIS people
said that they did something is usually something they did like
the Vegas attack, for example, right? Which we've had is
nothing but mess. But I'm wondering if we have abused
because ISIS has been pretty much wiped out of Syria, their
headquarters are gone. We don't even know who's running the
place. So how are you going to get an official pronouncement
from them unless the official pronouncements are now co opted?
It could be our military intelligence. This is CIA
saying,
well, we kind of know of ISIS, you kind of know who ISIS is and
who trained them in Georgia and then you know, who gave them
weapons in Syria? We kind of know them. Yeah,
well, that's why we gave them and we also gave them like a
whole cache of weaponry. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was Yeah,
that's true of our group. But thanks, Obama. Pretty much.
We've we I did I didn't notice time just flew by so it is high
time for me to thank you for your courage and say in the

All right. Well, let's thank a few people who know who was the
now that the show that we're talking about that had the what
was the artwork that Darren did?
I'm not understanding your question on Shuddh. Yeah. Oh, he

and then he did a version
with him. That was Uncle cave bear. Are
you sure? Am I giving the wrong person? creditor? Yeah, it's
uncle

silence. Kendra hartsel in Riverside, California came with
the same amount and she actually wrote in Okay, and email which I
didn't catch to begin with, but it caught it now. Dear John and
Adam, just want to say thank you for the media deconstruction,
your show provides so much value. Thanks for my favorite
thanks to my favorite son. He knows who he is for introducing
me to the best podcast in the universe. Nice. And J and K. All
right,
thank you very much.
Sweet, straight up notes. Easy. Now those are our two executive
producers. We go down to John Creswick $222.22. We don't have
a lot of people today. For show 1132 should be Thursday. Please
accept this donation for too proud as from too proud parents
on behalf of our son, Andrew Creswick. He also is celebrating
his 18th birthday this weekend. Who's graduating from high
school? Yes. He already understands the formula and is
mentally prepped for college. The show is a great product can
you play to to the head good scream? And can you see that
juice?
I wonder what school he's going to if he's going to be a no
agenda prepped college university student. That should
be interesting. Yeah, that he needs to tell us how everything
is going. Yes. And you're on the list. Fantastic. Can you see
that Jews?
You've got karma.
They have James Martin and $200. He says I was one of the
attendees at the Portland meet up on Saturday had a great time
meeting everyone hope to see you all in the future. Also, I used
to listen to the show sped up with the silence is taken out.
It's a double whammy. But now I like the more natural sound of
the original audio as it gives me some mental breaks,
especially when it work, which is where I listen most of the
time. And finally meetup.com does suck and J and K. Yes.
That's why we do what you do in technology. If you don't like
what's out there. Make one of your own. I will say how hard is
it to code this stuff?
I was looking for a particular segment on an old show and I
went to no agenda player.com which is completely new. Have
you seen this thing recently? No, I have no no agenda.
player.com is it's beautiful. And and I mean this The producer
was done this because we we don't maintain or build any of
these sites. I think we don't even have the domain name. No
agenda player.com. He could sell this he could open this up to
any podcast. It's so fantastic. And now you have the ability to
annotate. So you can come in and you can say like SoundCloud, you
say here I want to put a little note here. Here's where this
topic of discussion started. And it was so helpful. It's just
fantastic. Just a little plug. It's a good place. Well this is
what this is what the value for value network is.
I don't mind you plug in the thing. It sounds terrific.
And we have 1000s of producers and we have no advertising and
yet here we are.
And yet here we are, and we haven't unionized yet. All the
lines.
Well, I'm gonna bust your union diamond. Um, you're scared
you're gonna scam me out. I'm
gonna scam you out and do the the Adam agenda podcast.
Adam agenda, John agenda? Yeah, damn G G money ology money.
Dame G money.
G money. $200 Hey guys, what's the episode where you all tell
us about how the show production works. 200 point something.
Whatever the highest number 200.8 I think or 200.6 and how
producers can contribute with ISOs I don't know if we ever did
a show about that. and such. Also my friend Whitesell is a
douchebag Oh, hold on. Call her out. We just did Whitesell. You
know, you love the show gives some of that value for value
love. Donating feels good. Love you mean it? Dang GE money?
Well, okay.
Since this since we have no more executive or Associate Executive
producers, I'll take a moment to explain. Once again, this is the
value for value model. We don't have an audience of listeners,
we have a network of producers, many producers just sit home,
scratch their crotch and say great shoe. Sometimes they go
out and they help propagate the formula called hitting people in
the mouth. Other people use their talents or their
knowledge. So particular stories you can send just Adam
mccurry.com. I can say John at the warwick.org. Does that work?
Yeah. tends to Yeah. Squeaky chair divorce.org?
No, I don't have that setup. The chair does one its own email
address.
And you can we have many different places where you can
contribute just annotating the show and no agenda player.com Or
going to end there's also I found the most of the no agenda,
like one big PDF file. Was that again, dammit, keep forgetting
to promote that one. It's like it's a trend. It's a it's a
topic list of every show we've done. It's a huge PDF. Really?
Yeah,
I would show does it end at the most recent one, which one it is
start at.
I didn't look but it was such a huge file. Now I forgot what it
where you find, I'll put it in the show notes, I'll find a find
it find it myself.
I tweeted a link to it the other day. I missed it. So it's out
there. Anyway, so people do that, or you know, the Art
Generator where artists upload their art, these are all
producers. And you'll find that people get out of the network,
what they put into it. And sometimes it's just accolades
from your colleagues. Sometimes in art, it's just an exercise.
But people have I know people who've never done a mix or a
jingle in their life. And they've learned how to do it by
sending stuff into the show. And some of it is just so bad. It's
so funny, we love to play it. And then all of a sudden, these
people turn into really good producers in that regard. Clips,
I mean, just just email it. If it's over 10 megabytes, please
use we transfer or something like that, because it'll just
get bounced back by my email server. And then one last tip.
If you have something to share, either on Twitter, or on email,
it is not a good idea. You have to choose where you going to
send it to send it to John or send it to Adam. If you send it
to both of us. What often happens is none of us, neither
of us do anything with it. And that's the same with tweets. If
you send something a link to something, just give me the
context. Where's it from? Who's talking? is the file that shows
up with oh, this is great. Yeah. And then we have luckily, a
portion of our producers who function like Hollywood does
where they finance the work that keeps Adam and John alive. And
that is how you get an executive producer that
keeps us from doing too many other things. That's the key.
That is indeed the key. The right I mean I tried for a
little bit try and do some crypto Ico coin scam. I didn't
work but we got some some fun free shows out of the
Netherlands for it. So I didn't pay to go over there. But
anyway, that's good. Anyway, yes, that that's your right. And
I think the the less we do to make ends meet and just keep on
attitude. Yeah. Do you make ends meet we do very little.
I've really Give us I've really given up on becoming a
millionaire again. It's like I don't think I've got any more
ideas in me and I think I got any. I'm too tired. I want to go
pitch stuff. I don't want to do anything corporate I've been
I've completely corrupted myself. I'm patently unhireable
was it's nice not to you know, it's nice to be able to do the
kind of do one thing we do without having to worry about
that because people have no idea how hard it is to bring some of
these topics up in a in a commercial environment. It's not
even
possible. You can't do it. You can't do it. They will not be
accepted. Talk about any of this. I won't be accepted.
Exactly right.
So that's the deal. And that's why this podcast is a real
podcast. And I'm like yeah, folk pie.
Unlike any phony baloney stuff. This is the real deal ladies and
gentlemen, and we want to thank these executive producers and
Associate Executive producers of episode 1132 Is your show you
get to take that credit you get to put it anywhere it works for
you or credit to recognize and they are quite valuable and we
need support more than this hopefully for our next program
which will be on Sunday visit our donation page at
vora.org/and.
A whether you use it or not at least you have a better idea of
what the real insurance policy was.
Formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth everyone
today
gotta get more snuck in there.
Did you notice that Zuckerberg stars Hi, everyone to exactly
the same way Scott Adams does?
A little bit I guess.
That's where he got it from. I think he listened to Adams. Oh,
that's how you do it. Though. Setup doesn't even do a
periscope. No, no, no, that's not it. He also puts an audio
version out on an RSS feed. Yeah,
technically it was derivative.
Well, no, but I'm saying that Scott Adams doesn't an RSS feed.
Yeah, okay. Well, he's a podcaster then we'll give him
that.
We'll give him
maybe he doesn't want it Maybe he thinks it's a humiliation.
Hey, hold on one second.
Yeah, let's see what we got here because we have not heard from
my recorder for a while.
Okay, let me explain what happened. Let me explain what
that sorry about that. We have moved and with the move come all
kinds of small issues such as the dishwasher leaks, the oven
doesn't work. The washing machine still hasn't showed up.
We've had no washing machine for almost 10 days there's a lot of
things that don't work and and then I had to do a lot of I
still getting no mail have no mailbox None. No mail. I don't
exist. So the washing machine is coming today. Yeah. And I have
someone who will be waiting for it when it arrives. It wasn't
going to come until May 24. So So I'm very, very antsy to grab
this now that it's coming I was able to get one out of a
different warehouse. But if you don't answer the call when they
when they call you 30 minutes before delivery then they will
not deliver so that's what that was. I'm sorry. We're back. Yes,
the washing machine.
Thank you that was it the washing machine calling? Yes.
Well not the washing machine itself. Well, they you know
nowadays with this part, washing machines they can call
we have I have taken out everything there's no more.
There's nothing is wireless here. Nothing is connected. I
have Honeywell thermostats
that just weren't any will thermostat is around one right
now. No, it is the electric
one, the electronic one, but it's not. It has no Wi Fi
capability. I do not have a fridge with a Wi Fi. Although
every single one has the option. Every single thing these days
has a Wi Fi option. No, I didn't do the Hue lights everything.
Screw it done with it. I got to I got Manuel dimmers. You got to
get up and walk to the wall and dim it.
Oh no. Yes,
exactly. Now we want less less signals in the house is the this
is a sanctuary except for the studio. Where I have so many
noises I have to get a different microphone because of the RF
flying around this place.
Here you are going on about some
now, I interrupted you you were going on about some
I don't remember. But I do have some entrematic as a mid median
Eclipse, there's some stuff that I got the Klobuchar doing the
Jeb Bush bit. Okay, whereas it said the Klobuchar doing a Jeb
Bush with a K.
Got it.
I I am someone that runs in a purple state every single time I
have run, I have won every single congressional district in
my state, including Michelle Bachmann's. Okay. It's when you
guys are supposed to cheer. Okay.
So lame. Please clap.
Was it on the prompter then? But that was my first question. Was
you reading it from prompter? I don't think so these town halls
are interesting. They're sitting down on kind of stool like
chairs. And then the question is asked, and then the candidate
always gets up and starts answering the question to the
crowd. It's, it's very unnatural format and kind of goofy, to be
honest. And now I'm just thinking perhaps that's you got
to get up to see the prompter
as possible. The other thing is, is like, if they're going to
make these things so rigged, and so scripted, put in his
applause, sign up. People do it. It turns on, people gladly
applaud. We need our finger on the button.
The applause sign Exactly.
The applause. Guy, the warm up guy comes in, gets the crowd all
jacked up. He's jumping up and down. And then he he then he
will tell the will direct the audience to pay attention to the
applause sign. And when you see it clap, it'll make the show
that much better.
So California has been in the in the news, certainly for San
Francisco and Los Angeles for the pooping on the streets. For
the needles found everywhere. There's no There's a needle map
in addition to the poop map, I think there's an app for it as
well, San Francisco. On the side, they hand out four and a
half million needles each year to drug addicts. And because
Starbucks did what they did, and you anyone has a human right to
be in a Starbucks, no matter what your situation is. Now they
are installing needle disposal boxes in the Starbucks
bathrooms. And it seems that this type of decriminalization
that we've seen in what was the the current metric in California
for crimes that are no longer there. I think they're called
crimes of need.
Like I don't know what they're called, but anything under
$1,000
is no longer there's no longer looked into. It's no longer
there. Right?
The police don't care. You get your car somebody comes by and
cracks the windshield. gonna cost you it's gonna cost you or
your insurance companies don't know how many hundreds of
dollars to fix. But more than 10 cents and your time. Yeah, too
bad. Well, well, when I got the guy on videotape, I got that.
Here he is Studio care.
This is rolling out now in Dallas. When it comes
to rolling out his new policy for justice reform in Dallas
County, da John cruzado makes no apologies.
We have an over criminalization of America. And it starts with
poor people and people of color. And we know that everybody knows
it. Everybody says we're gonna do something about it, but
nobody ever does anything about it. And so that's why I'm acting
council members listen does the DA outlined his plans to
eliminate prosecution of certain low level crimes, including
marijuana offenses and theft of personal items worth less than
$750 and less The theft was for financial gain.
My concern is is going to have the hardest impact on these low
income high crime areas.
Councilmember Sandy Grayson expressed concern over the DHS
policy to not prosecute deaths for crimes of need,
because I think we're not really considering the business owner
in this. What if six people come in in one day and take diapers?
Six different people? How does he recover that loss?
Another concern the DHS plan to cut back on prosecuting crimes
of trespassing and panhandling, killing Pleasant Grove killing
this council member Kevin Felder says he believes the DEA is on
the right track,
but I support what you're doing because Dallas has one of the
highest concentrations of poverty in the nation.
So it is they said it they're the crimes of need. That is the
term that
doesn't mean anyone who's stealing his $700 item. For
whatever reason they need the money. Yes, crime of need. Well,
then all crimes are crimes of need. Well, this
is special special cases. Jon's special it's under $700 crime of
need diapers.
So what they're going to do is they're going to let them this
is this the DEA that initiated this and it's the DEA and see
Yeah battle who initiated similar program up north is the
DA is around here that are initiating this. Kamala Harris
is a good example of one of the San Francisco DJs. Who put push
this sort of thing you bet. And so what you end up with is just
rampant crime. $700 is not a lawyer who keeps the idea who
has this idea that $750 is meaningless elites with a lot of
dough, at least with a lot of dough is exactly right. Because
I mean, we have somebody if you get a speeding ticket is gonna
cost you $200. You consider that a lot of money when he just
dropped out while they're at it. It's just ridiculous that they
they're so cavalier that you're they think to 750 bucks means
nothing to anybody,
I'm reliably informed that this particular issue and perhaps
even the moniker crimes of need, will be used incessantly in the
2020 election.
Well, they're gonna lose incessantly, then.
I don't know there's a lot of people who, who, who might
commit crimes of need or could be thinking about it. For
instance, NPR just did a story about today's millennial who
owns nothing and lives nowhere. It's a part of the gig economy
with a native ad
Steven T. Johnson works in social media advertising, and he
spends most of his days using things he does not own.
I took an Uber to Equinox to shower before we met and then
went to PA chair and then came to work
Stevens like a rideshare. To get to the gym he uses he does not
own a car. At the gym, he rents a locker he uses the gyms
laundry service because he does not own a washing machine. He
doesn't even have an apartment. Actually, exactly. We were going
to meet at pod share this CO living space where Steven rents
a bed, just a bed and a big open room with about a dozen other
people, but it was too loud. So we went to his co working space,
a place called WeWork where Steven rents a desk we work is
also an NPR sponsor.
Well, How coincidental you have that in the story, let's hear
more Steven
owns so little he can carry most of his stuff in his hands.
I actually gave up my backpack about those the smallest I got
down to and I gave it up two months ago.
Stephen also only owns two outfits.
See even backpack it just having a backpack will become
suspicious John, so I think you're right about that.
Well to have the same outfit Under Armour brand lists, sports
shoes, Lululemon pants, and socks Lululemon shirt, we live
in underwear.
Steven is part of a newish group of young people kind of well
off, but also in a way homeless. The Steven represent a
fundamental shift in American capitalism as we know it. The
fact is that we can't afford to sort of hoard anymore that
Schuyler Wang, he's a PhD student at UC Berkeley, he
studies the sociology of the sharing economy. And he thinks
one of the biggest factors in this economic shift is younger
people buying fewer houses, and choosing to live in dense urban
areas and rent smaller places. Part of this is houses just
being more expensive than they were for our parents. But when
you're more, okay, with renting the place you live in, it's
maybe a lot easier to accept a life where you rent and share a
whole lot more. Wang does point out even if young people own
less, they still have a lot of stuff. Stuff that isn't tangible
I talked to along the minimum is they are the type of people who
loves to tout, right? They own like 30 things, but then the
interesting thing is that they hoard digitally, they hoard
digitally, they have tons of photographs they have 1000s and
1000s of Instagram posts it's still an economy of stuff it's
just different stuff it's experiences
I'm speechless
well i There's a couple of things in there that don't
surprise me especially this idea of experiences Yes, it's being
studied to an extreme now and it seems that the millennials at
least by least one group of them and I believe it's the older
ones have more they have more love of having Enix quote
unquote experienced this is why the the we've noticed this trend
with the single batch small batch and all these things you
buy a product right
it has to have a story and it has to be inexperienced just as
gotta have
a yes or no story. No, it was no sale right this day. It's good
with no story, no story, no
sale, best price,
no story, no sale. And so you end up with this. So everything
is kind of centered around this. And I watched this. And it's
like it's flabbergasting to be honest about it. I think it will
make sacrifice for the experience. It Yeah, I don't
even I really still contemplate Writing it but dead, dead? Well,
you said you ran is this tells a lot of this story. Well, you
also would be one of the front runners of talking about how
inexpensive disk space has become. So for them to be
collecting experiences, documenting said experiences and
hoarding them is incredibly sad that they're storing this on
Instagram, even though I believe that the likes and the comments
are all part of the experience. And that can go away, you know,
that can get deleted, you can get kicked off and anything can
happen. And just imagine if that is truly your experiential life.
And that is very important to you and you have no possessions
as a minimalist, but you have your possessions are your the
documentation of your experiences, and it gets taken
away. I think people will offer themselves.
Well, I never thought they did mention that the heritage being
an old old timer, computer Orpheus type Oh, sorry. I want
to say when he was talking about his collections, the first thing
that came to my mind, and this is why I thought is interesting
what you just said, as he said this, I have all these photos, I
have a good collection of photos, and I have all my
Instagram posts and I the first day went right through my brain
was oh, he's somehow backed up Instagram, he has it on a on a
big hard disk. No way. No way. Well, and now that you mentioned
it, you're right. There's no way. And I will say this and
you've seen this happen over the last 20 or 30 years. There's all
these systems that come up and people, they Oh, I can store my
whole photo collection. I can store the whole thing in full
size. And they put all that instead of having it backed up
on a cheap hard disk that you could buy at Costco that has
terabytes and terabytes of storage. No, no, no, you you
store it all on some on some online. Here's
a crazy idea. Here's a crazy crazy thought that I've
advocated for many times, print some out, you you will lose your
photos, your I've been saving photos all my life. And I know
that at least one or two of my drives will never fire up again.
You need to print some stuff out, print it out. You can you
can you can send it to CVS and go buy on your way home from
your shitty job. And I think a advertising interactive
advertising the guy's probably making $37,000 a year because he
has to compete against you know, the H Cluses. To be no h to be
visa workers.
No, I'm sorry. Now, what you just said I think is a great
idea. And I will mention the Costco and other places you
could put you know, two or three quote unquote roles on honestly
all thumb drive and take it to Costco and they'll print these
things out inexpensively about the same. You'd have to pay for
supplies to do it yourself fairly inexpensively. And you'll
and you will have these backups and they actually the gear that
they're the big print guys have is a little better than what you
generally have in it. And it's also did tunes the photos a
little bit.
This going to be an entire generation of children who get
old and die and there's definitely nothing left. I
really enjoy having some of my mom's crazy shit. Some letters
and some folk love photos. I liked the photos. I like photos
and my daughter
black and white photos. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. Because I've
you know, I've saved all of the original videotapes of Christina
second birthday third birthday. There's some fun stuff on start
rolling them out. Yeah, it's VHS. It's and then I also have
VHS see, I have Batum know what's the DV video? Now? I
saved the actual cameras so I can play it back. Yeah, this is
a problem but it's going on. Yeah, there's services who will
do it. And I understand the storage is going to be a problem
because oh my god now you besides your $200 Lululemon
pants, you also have to carry around some like a photo album.
And you have no backpack
for it like going to work is not going to work for these guys.
Maybe Hey, exit strategy.
I just saw a giant truck go by giant truck with a big blue sign
that said prime Yeah, yeah. Amazon. Yeah. All right. Anyway,
yeah. You know, they they're very into this the way they're
doing it as to what they're into and I think they're gonna be
sorely disappointed. Like this is just
a warning. Yeah, I agree. Which way it's just a hey, take it
from your uncle Adam and Uncle John. You might want to have
some memories later on and it's gonna go away if you if you
trust it to Instagram. Just take a couple make a selection. We
need to have the millennial vote often.com or something like
this, where, you know, you just send off a couple of pictures we
print and we store them for you. Which of course we don't do.
Because we're really an on demand printing system, you say,
to say, we're going to print these for you, and we'll keep
them safe for you. And then when you go pick them up, which 90%
will never do, we Oh, here they are, we print them off real
quick. So they're also well preserved that kept perfectly
well. And you know, obviously, we won't lose the data. It's
another exit strategy.
Mac and cheese is my idea of a perfect birthday cake.
That's an actual commercial, same people, same people.
Tell me you can spot the magic number in this African flooding
clip that nobody's talking about.
In South Africa, at least 33 people are dead in the eastern
province of KwaZulu Natal, after floods and mudslides crash homes
around the city of Durban. Some parts of South Africa have
received over nine inches of rain since Monday, more than
three times the average monthly total for all of April. That's
the magic number. The magic number,
then goes on. She then goes on a generic rant about climate
change. Of course, of course. No, I do. I've said this before.
I like democracy now for because it will pick up stories that the
mainstream is just not going to touch.
The mainstream is unwatchable in America, the bad in America is
unwatchable.
So I got a couple here that are kind of I didn't know that any
of this was going on. But this is the one that got my
attention. This is the Japanese eugenics program.
And a remarkable move the Government of Japan.
I hate to say this. I do listen to Democracy Now for a reason.
Yeah. But this was actually on PBS. Remarkably.
All right. And here we go. Again, in a remarkable
move. The Government of Japan has formally apologized today to
an estimated 25,000 people who were forcibly sterilized from
1948 to 1996. It was done under a eugenics law designed to quote
prevent the birth of poor quality descendants. Many but
not all of those sterilized had disabilities. Now the victims
will be eligible for some compensation of $28,600 apiece.
How much is
20 820 820,000 20,000? Okay, wow. Not worse. So I thought
that was kind of interesting. Nobody's talking about that. But
the back to my thesis about the way democracy now does play
stories that you won't get elsewhere. I have not heard this
story anywhere, which is the SEAL Team Leader, busted as a
war criminal.
The New York Times is reporting that Navy SEALs who witnessed
their platoon chief commit war crimes in Iraq, were encouraged
not to speak out and told they could lose their jobs for
reporting him in a private meeting with a superior officer
last year. According to a confidential Navy Criminal
Investigation obtained by the times the commando said they saw
special operations chief Edward Gallagher stab and kill an
unarmed teenage captive shoot to death a young girl and old man
and fire indiscriminately into crowds of civilians. But what
the men on Gallagher's team called a private meeting with
their troop commander and demand an investigation they were told
to stay quiet on the matter and no action was taken. The group
of seven seals eventually were able to force an investigation
and chief Edward Gallagher was arrested in September on more
than a dozen charges including premeditated murder and
attempted murder. If convicted. He could face life in prison.
His trial begins on May 28. Wow,
you're right. No one talked about that when no one no one.
Well, I guess it's not a vote. Hey, we got an operation going
on coming up somewhere in Sri Lanka. So shut up with all this
news. I'm going to focus.
Focus people stand down and
clarify some stuff. I did. One of my typical, this is a fine,
outstanding citizen. About Nipsey Hussle. The the rapper
slash community activist that loved by many who feel it was
actually not that Nokia was the Staples Center, they feel the
Staples Center for him. And now my point usually is okay, you
can glorify this guy but he also did fuck Donald Trump in 2016
with YG and you know, it was pretty clear it was like,
upstanding citizen but that's the Was that really necessary? I
got a lot of pushback. And I and I understand people are fans
fans of the music. I really have no problem with the music. I
thought Fuck Donald Trump was a nice sing along Diddy. I was
just making a point. But as I looked deeper into Nipsey Hussle
I was able to push back after several long email chains with
multiple people who are fans have a lot more understanding of
gang culture than I do. Even the YG Nipsey Hussle F Donald Trump
video was actually in the Crips and Bloods together in the same
video that he was trying to move himself away from, from the
gangs for sure. But here's what I heard from a lot of different
people. And they were very angry. He did all this great
stuff for his community. He bought the entire strip mall,
that that he had his clothing store is in and he's doing all
this community stuff. And he bought a fat burger. And he's,
he's been giving money to people and he gave money to the school.
And there's a there's a vector 90 where you can rent a desk and
there'll be a STEM center and he's really, really a good good
guy. So let's run these down for a second because once I did
this, I figured out why he did the F Donald Trump video was
very interesting to first of all, this, this marathon
clothing that is in an area of the hood, I would say they sell
$100 beanie caps and $200 t shirts. So I don't know how
great this is for the hood. But you know, that's a pretty high
price. Key actually did not buy the strip mall. He is a member
of a consortium run by a Los Angeles real estate developer
named Dave gross. Dave gross and Nipsey Hussle. But also I think
Jay Z is in there DJ Khaled. This is a very typical type of
operation where you get a couple of celebrities, and you're going
to build things. So they bought the strip mall they bought, I
don't think Nipsey put any money into it. They bought the strip
mall and guess what they're going to do. They're going to
tear it down build residential units with marathon as the
anchor tenant for retail. I wonder if that will be
affordable housing. He did not own the fat burger. He early
early days he made T shirts for the fat burger staff to wear.
The same day of gross consortium is working on building the
buying the viceroy hotel changing that entire concept.
The school money was Nipsey again being a frontman for Puma
who donated the money. He's also just a frontman for vector 90,
which is as we know, like we work it's basically a money
making operation where you rent a desk by the hour or a cubicle
by the day. This STEM Center has still not opened as far as I
know. But this guy really came on my radar when I was in the
Netherlands working on my own crypto coin Ico scam, as Nipsey
Hussle at the same time was in the Netherlands. And he was
signing up as he says Well, yes, we're, we've invested in, in
this follow coin and no, he was doing exactly what I was doing
being a figurehead for an Ico for a crypto coin. Because what
is this guy? He's he is a frontman for other people's
projects, and then all of a sudden they understood the fuck
Donald Trump song is self hate. He's exactly the same as Trump.
He puts his name on real estate developments. Why'd he put his
name on real estate development? Yeah.
Yeah, Trump sells his name already does stuff. And then
there's this conspiracy
theory about Dr. CB who had cured aids and had different
cures for diabetes. And this guy was killed by big pharma and
before Nipsey Hussle. Was was shot. He was I'm going to do a
documentary because a lot of his supplements are really special.
He was in the supplement game.
zzounds supplement gay Yeah. Yeah, like game. That's the
boner pills. The pill man. Yes.
So and I hate because they know people are fans and they love
him. But I do want to say that he really wasn't doing all that
much great stuff for the community as far as I can find
evidence of.
But it was to say you're doing great stuff for the community.
Right?
But it was surprising to me to learn that Oh, no wonder he
hated Trump as a rival to him.
It was funny. Anyway, that is, that's a long way. By the way
for the shaggy dog stories what you just did? Well I've been
sitting on was a long route, long route to Tipperary, you
have to understand
the amount. Here's what happened. Laura Ingraham did
something similar on her show two weeks later. And you know,
they added people going after advertisers now we're pretty
bulletproof, since we have no advertisers. And I had several
back and forth where I learned a lot and thank goodness, the
people who were emailing with me didn't just say bye, bye. Got
out and stop, you know, so I learned a lot about the gang
culture about you know, you don't do anything with a c k in
the word you don't spell it C K, spell it, cc because c k could
be seen as crypt killer, I'm gonna learn a lot of gang stuff.
And I think Nipsey Hussle was still involved. All I'm saying
is, just be careful who your worship, that's all.
You may now continue hating me.
You should don't forget as adam@curry.com That's right.
He's looking forward to your feedback. Looking forward to
Yes, looking forward to I don't even start this day. I've never
heard one of these guys songs. I've never heard of him. And I'm
sure that would be I should maybe be keep up with this sort
of thing. But it's, uh, you can't keep up with everything.
So I'm out of the loop with this character. And it just seems odd
that there was he got so much attention out of the blue. And
then there's at least odd to me.
Then there was an election in Ukraine, a runoff election.
And then well, as we discussed a second ago with the lack of
coverage in the United States of this story about the seal, bad
actor seal and some other things. Why isn't this getting
like this? I watched all the news stories the other day for
the last couple days. And I didn't see anybody opening with
this even mentioning it.
Well, the only networks the only place I could get it from a
clip, which is again from one of our vast network of producers is
from radio Ukraine International
thriller Dima Zelinsky, a comedian and show man has scored
the landslide victory over incumbent President Petro
Poroshenko.
And by the way for a comedian to score a landslide victory over a
guy named Poroshenko. The probably the only Ukrainian name
everyone has heard of. That's news to me.
Willow, Demers Alinsky, a comedian and showman has scored
the landslide victory over incumbent President Petro
Poroshenko in Ukraine's runoff presidential votes Sunday. As of
8pm, Monday, the Central Election Commission had
processed almost 100% of electronic vote count protocols
from 200 Constituency commissions, according to which
more than 73% of voters supported Volodymyr Zelensky,
while President Petro Poroshenko collected 24.5% of the vote. The
Commission's that the final results would be officially
announced on April 30.
I can't wait. The comedian wins
I think is one of the most hilarious things that they did
news media does not want to play this for what is what you just
said this is extremely newsworthy. I read an article
very good article Well, it's a fairly decent article at least
in in foreign affairs, and they take credit this there and this
is the the front for the Council on Foreign Relations this
magazine what mag magazine Foreign Affairs oh when you
whenever they write you have to assume is doing. So they say
what was the lynskey secret to winning they and they announced
it as a landslide people. That's the other thing that makes it
newsworthy was a comedian getting a landslide victory.
They claim it was all just anti establishment votes. He says
what was and then it made it even worse.
I think there were some Brexit, some Facebook ads like Brexit
that probably influenced
Yeah, baby. What was the Lewinsky secret they asked he
ran for president as a virtual candidate is shooing traditional
rallies, political talk shows and press interviews in favor of
comedy concerts, slick social media messaging, and carefully
curated appearances on friendly channels. His most original and
effective campaign platform was undoubtedly his he is hit TV
series servant of the people in which He stars as an accidental
president who crusades against corruption,
which means which means we could easily see Julia Louie Dreyfus
running and becoming President.
Yes, technically, I don't think we're as susceptible to this as
some other places but we do have our work. We already have our TV
guy, we do have Trump. So we don't need another one. We don't
want to do that two in a row. But this guy, you know, was the
so he's kind of a Trump because he's coming from a TV show. But
this is like a main, this is a major, major, major event,
especially since we're so wound up in the Ukraine, or in Ukraine
right now in the Ukraine that you think this would be go float
right to the top? No, nobody's just said no, I've noticed don't
even talk about it. Why? Well, this is the indictment of the
mainstream media. Right? His stories
exactly right. There's that angle. And also, this doesn't
bring any candidate election money into the coffers. So why
would we bother even looking at the story? I mean, Sri Lanka is
already gone. It's already gone. And we're back to beto,
Beto and and Buttigieg
Buttigieg.
Mayor Pete of the hamlet,
Mayor Pete, giant cities giant
Hamlet.
Gotham,
but if so instead, of course, we get the stories about the new
words added to the dictionary.
Oh, I missed this story. I usually, this is usually what I
catch.
Well, I have a couple of them new meanings for old words. And
I was I was surprised by some that I thought would have been
codified long ago. Snowflake is now been added as someone that
we mean by long ago. Well, snowflake snowflake just cruised
cropped up in the last couple of years. Wow. Okay,
well, how about tailwind and headwind? These words now are
also used figuratively to refer to a force of or influence that
either helps or hinders progress. I believe the term
tailwind and headwinds has been using in that manner for many
years. This
regard I totally agree. Purple.
Purple has a an additional means not new. Well, it says new
meanings for old words, but of course it's going to be besides
the blending of red and blue. Purple can now refer to
geographical areas where voters are split between Democrats and
Republicans
purple is already being used by Klobuchar by Democrats. And the
other day Hillary Clinton
had had purple on when she was supposed to when everybody was
wearing purple Podesta had a little purple tie had little
purple thing in my Bob handkerchief
go in code for some mills.
Huh? It's a purple revolution. It says sorrows thing.
Goldilocks. Goldilocks has a new definition. Referring to the
characters. Astronomers use it to describe an area of planetary
orbit in which temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold to
support life just right
what what did this show up I never heard this I've never
heard it. New compound terms. Now this is what like this is
new page view is now an official compounded term. So you know,
viewing a page on a website on on brand is now a compounded
term Garbage Time. Which is the final moments or minutes of a
game in which one side has an insurmountable lead
goat that's your destiny as Yun was refers to almost exclusively
to basketball but okay,
go cup. What Yeah, go cup plastic. It's a well it's not a
new word. But now it's an official cup Micom cups go bag.
Yeah, and screentime which is very new, but they plop that one
in right away. Now referring to time dispensing is
new to this where I disagree with you because I think that's
an older term.
Oh, no, no, they're saying it's it's a new meaning for screen
time. What's the old meaning? Referring to the amount of time
someone appeared in front of a camera in a movie dating back to
the Golden Age of Hollywood now referring to time spent in front
of his screen?
I thought screen time time spent in front of a screen has been
around screen has been around for at least a decade. Well, I
wouldn't be doing this item if I wasn't surprised myself. New
Words gig economy.
Yeah, evolves. I
hate that one. Vulture capitalism also new Well, it's
now officially in the Merriam Webster dictionary. This is the
this is what I'm reading from them. Entertainment words buzzy.
That's now a word buzzy. Be use easy why causing are
characterized by a lot of speculative or excited talk or
attention buzzies for this buzzy, and then you have a
bottle episode.
Dead I don't understand what that is.
I've I've been in television a long time and inexpensively
produced This episode of a television series that is
typically confined to one setting a bottle episode. I
never heard this term No. And finally eat God Of course we
know that one.
He got eg O T. Yeah, you went all these awards
Emmy, Grammy Oscar and a Cioni. A Choni. That was surprised. I
was surprised by some of that there's some other ones like
qubit which just comes from quantum computing. And gender
nonconforming. Ooh, top surgery. There you go. Would you like
some top surgery?
I don't think so. Do you want to know what
top surgery is?
Is that breast implants or something?
That gender confirmation surgery in which a person's breasts are
removed or augmented? Yes. And then there's bottom surgery not
interested in that?
No, not really.
I'm gonna show my school by donate to no agenda.

So now we have course we have the standard Trump rotation but
going after Jared Kushner is always a good thing. Oh, yes. So
we have I have two clips I have the human rights group are
condemning the Saudis and then Kushner gets condemned. And then
the second clip, which is the funnier clip, which is Kushner
is in the room. But let's play the Human Rights notations
human rights groups are condemning Saudi Arabia's mass
execution of 37 prisoners accused of terrorism and
espionage. Amnesty International says 11 of the men put to death
were convicted of spying for Iran after what are called a
grossly unfair trial. Amnesty says at least 14 Others were
convicted for participating in anti government protests between
2011 and 12. Amnesty says the 14 men were tortured in order to
have quote confessions extracted from them. One parishioners body
and severed head were put on display in a public crucifixion.
And response. My AFOA, director of the British legal charity,
reprieve said, quote that the Saudi regime believes that has
impunity to carry out such patently illegal executions
without notice should shock its international partners into
action, and her head
is gone. I don't understand what action people are supposed to
take. They're a they're a sovereign nation. Well, they
kill people, you know, their own citizens for which some reason
or other that's to do with their laws.
Well, there's something there's something up. Now you remember,
I had that clip from Pompeo when he was in Dallas. And he was
talking about how, you know, we actually teach our agents in the
CIA how to lie and cheat and steal and cheat. So he wasn't
just in in Dallas, just to joke a, quote unquote, joke about the
CIA. He had a closed door meeting with 15, Iranian
American community leaders. And this was closed door. But of
course, it leaked out that the Pompeo had said to these 15,
Iranian American community leaders, that the Trump
administration is quote, not going to do a military exercise
inside Iran. Which to me means look out for some other kind of
false flag. I don't like using the term. But whenever you say
explicitly and let it leak out, why else would he go to Dallas
to talk to them? And this comes out of it. Yeah. Now we know
that we're not going to do anything. But with these new
sanctions, I do not like what is going on. I don't like Pompeo.
And then is this the Bolton Saudi neocon
John Bolton? First?
This I mean, what is Why is Trump even allowing this,
that you're asking the wrong he may
not know he's me. Maybe I don't think he knows. He's possibly
doesn't know
what the hell's going on. I mean, that's what everyone
claims. So maybe it's true. That's true. The second part of
this is this again to Saudi Arabia, an anti Saudi Arabia
material going through a Democracy Now,
in New York City senior White House adviser and President
Trump's son in law Jared Kushner, Tuesday told to Time
Magazine forum, he does not dispute the CIA's conclusion
that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of
Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, but Kushner said it's
more important to focus on American foreign policy
interests. at a gala dinner later in the day honoring Times
list of the world's 100 Most Influential People, comedian
Hasan Minaj called for the release of Saudi women's rights
activist loujain How half flew, who has been tortured since her
arrest for opposing the kingdom's male guardianship
system and a former ban on women drivers. Minh has also called
out Jared Kushner directly over his close relationship with
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
I know there's a lot of very powerful people here it'd be
crazy if I don't know if there was just like, I don't know like
if there was like a high ranking official in the White House that
could watsapp MBs and and say, Hey, maybe you could help that
person get out of prison because they don't deserve it. But
that'd be crazy. That'd be peppers would have to be in the
room and just a good comedy premise
Wow, hey, you know how can you resist if you're a comedian and
you're wanting to get this woman out of prison? Right I sit in
there do material
this so that's another thing that I find annoying Now the way
I see it sanctions on Iran, which mean we've always been the
A holes who determined who can buy oil from Iran. And so now
we're shutting that down. And of course, what happens the price
of gas goes up. How was this good?
It's not good for me.
It's great for Saudi Arabia. There's they're gonna fit. I
think Trump even said Saudi Arabia can fill up the demand.
Yeah.
Is another screwball clip this one here is the that emphasizes
much, but I think at least people should be paying
attention to this, the Afghan civilians being killed clip,
United Nations reports that Afghan and international forces
killed more Afghans civilians in the first three months of this
year than Taliban insurgents did. That reverses the trend of
recent years. The report says In all there were 581 civilian
deaths. Nearly half of those blamed on government and NATO
forces occurred during airstrikes.
Now there you have
it, I have a couple of items of interest. I thought this was a
very shallow payback for his endorsement by the President of
the United States. I don't know it must have gotten all kinds of
lovely coverage, but I didn't see it.
I'm here on the beautiful Golan Heights. This is
Bibi Netanyahu standing up on the Golan Heights
appear on the beautiful Golan Heights. All Israelis were
deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision
to recognize Israel sovereignty over the Golan Heights and
therefore after the Passover holiday, and tend to bring to
the government a resolution calling for a new community on
the Golan Heights named after President Donald J. Trump.
Man
rich around I'm gonna name a whole Hamlet after you. Donald
J. Trump. Donald J. Trump, Donald J. Trump.
Judicial Watch trip Trump Ville?
Trump Ville? Yes. Yeah, so write that one down. Trump Hill. Yeah,
sounds good.
Like it and
Judicial Watch. And never gets a lot of exposure.
And just a bunch of you if you follow them on Twitter.
Well, yeah. It's a collection of well, they're lawyers. I'm
pretty sure they're right.
A collection of pissed off right wing lawyers. There you go.
Hi, Judicial Watch, Hillary?
Yes. And here's the latest high Judicial Watch
President Tom Fitton here with breaking news on the Clinton
email scandal. If you want to know why Hillary Clinton has
skated thus far on her email misconduct. It's because Barack
Obama is implicated in the Clinton email scheme. The FBI
just admitted to us that it had to find Clinton emails in Barack
Obama's White House, specifically the Executive
Office of the President. The FBI also confirmed that found up to
49,000 Clinton server emails on the laptop of disgraced former
congressman Anthony Weiner, these disclosures were forced
out of the FBI as a result of court order discovery granted to
Judicial Watch into the Clinton email issue.
So that means you're gonna bone those guys.
What that means is that the executive office of the
president during Obama's presidency, I was very aware
that they were emailing Hillary Clinton on her private email
server. Yeah. Because they were receiving
that he would have done some sort of a blanket
declassification for everything on her server in some shape way
or shape or form to get her off the hook completely. I don't
know why they did
well, well, because she had deleted everything. Before any
before that could even be a consideration. No, maybe. Yeah.
Then we have follow up on the smallest case has
not even started healing from the initial attack.
This interview airing in late March is cited in a federal
lawsuit filed in Chicago today. On behalf of brothers Ola in
bola osundairo. Jessie small let's attorney Tina Gladion.
Appearing on Good Morning America discussing the open FBI
investigation into a hate filled threat letter sent to smell let
at the Fox Studios in Chicago. The
brothers did come forward and state that they had nothing to
do with the letter but it appears that police during the
search of their home did seize some magazines with I guess
missing pages and a stamp book there
are consequences for the actions that Tina Glandon and Mark
Geragos have taken today astute enables us to make sure that
those consequences are decided in a court of law. Not on a
cable news network
era ghost and Gladion fired back today saying in a statement
quote while we know this ridiculous lawsuit will soon be
dismissed because it lacks any legal footing. We look forward
to exposing the fraud the osundairo brothers and their
attorneys have committed on the public
my city, my police department, and my clients all deserve to
have their reputations restored.
We shall see that's pretty interesting now. Jeez, someone
someone's lying somewhere about something.
Yes, someone. Here's the thing that could use a little
discussion to census and the Supreme Court clip. Yeah, this
thing.
This thing is back again.
Very interesting. The US Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in
a case challenging the Trump administration's plans to
include a question on citizenship to the 2020 census
voting rights activists fear of the question would deter
immigrants from participating in the census leading to a vast
undercount in states with large immigrant communities, this
could impact everything from the redrawing of congressional maps
to the allocation of federal funding.
Okay, here's a couple of things. How many illegal aliens take the
census? Seriously, or even contribute to it as is that the
way it is? Now? Do you think if they put a citizenship question
that that would change? I don't think they'll participate. That
I don't think they but do they participate now?
The the Democrat left the left in America certainly wants them
to participate? Yes.
In the sense, yeah, of course they do. Because they get bigger
numbers. Right. More redistricting more
representatives. Exactly. Okay, so now, here's the other
question. No, noting my first initial premise. The other
question is, why shouldn't he ask if they're a citizen, I
think is something you need to know. If you don't participate,
by the way, it's against the law not to participate.
Correct. So and by the way, checking or not checking citizen
doesn't mean you're here illegally. Just knowing doesn't
mean that your green card you can be here
is just another attempt by the Democrats to you know, stuff the
ballot box as it were. So you get a
like, it's like having a convicted felons in jail vote.
I mean, this is another thing
to be honest about. I don't find that to be as offensive You're
kidding me. Why? Because if someone's been affected because
somebody got so let's say we have a country where a simple
political laws are now all qualify as as felony, a felony.
So everybody in the countries of felon for just about any say
they have shoplifting is a felony, everything's a felony.
So now you can't vote anymore. No, that's starting to go ploy.
Stop.
That's not what I'm saying. Yeah, I, first of all, in most
states, if you come out of jail, and you've been convicted, you
no longer have your voting rights. That's not what this is
about. I feel if you've done your time, the full citizen,
you're back back on track. You can vote do all of that stuff.
That's not what it's about while you're incarcerated in jail.
That's where they want people to vote.
They're all saying, Oh, that desk desk got scam written all
over.
Bernie. It's Kamala Harris. It's Cory Booker. They're all saying
this.
Well, the remainder questions because for one thing, if you're
in prison, and three to 3 million votes right there. Well,
it's all well, it's a lot of votes. But you can make that you
because it's since you're in prison, you got to do what
you're told. You have to sit down for lunch, they pass out
the ballots every single person who would vote yes. Yeah, that
would be not right. That's not voluntary. But that's that's
voluntary.
So so I don't know if you've seen these town halls, but
they're asking should the should the marathon the Boston Marathon
bomber, be allowed to vote in jail, Bernie Sanders said yes.
It's not an argument. It's lunacy. It's not an argument.
There's no argument to saying. Yeah, I think we should have a
conversation about that. Okay, how about no.
Well, your turn. This is another one of Bernie's little things
and every time Bernie comes up with something like this, this
is his only new idea. I everybody else jumps on the
bandwagon, fearful that Bernie is gonna get everybody's vote
because Bernie is the only guy with any thought. And you know,
anything with any good ideas. Everybody else is just pounded
Trump. They don't care about any of the ideas. So it's caught on
Yeah, it's not going anywhere. I'm damn sure not worried about
it.
I am surprised to see that we have reports of measles
outbreaks in the Netherlands and in Canada.
Did you hear about the measles outbreak on the ship there's
this navy ship that does and quarantine now and it's got a
measles outbreak. But the kicker Yeah 100% vaccination rate guy
a beautiful perfect
Well, these people were only 93% protected because they didn't
have their booster. They
93 It should have been a herd herd immunity. Wow, that didn't
happen either. What
I'm surprised about is that with all the projecting water, go on
all these local outbreaks around the world at the same time. Now
I could be, I could be cynical and say, Well, maybe it's just
the local advertising companies who are doing their business,
the PR companies getting more measles vaccinations out and
into the people. Or why isn't the CDC or some maybe the United
Nations talking about a global pandemic? Because that's what I
see on the
ship as they come out to date on that one, and this is going to
be a fail. Exactly. bullcrap. But
it looks good when you when you chop it up like that every
country has that little, they're pushing it everywhere, the same
message in every country, but it's a marketing guy at Merck.
They certainly have something good going on. They know what
they're doing.
Yeah, I agree. So here's my clip, which is the Boy Scout
scanner, which is again not getting as much play on the
networks.
I had to look for it.
In a growing scandal engulfing the Boy Scouts of America, it's
been revealed that nearly 8000 troop leaders have been accused
of sexual abuse over a span of 72 years. These findings were
announced Tuesday in Manhattan by Jeff Anderson, a lawyer
representing sexual abuse victims. According to records
known as the perversion files, Boy Scout, volunteer leaders
abused more than 12,000 victims between 1944 and 2016. Anderson
named 130 Scout leaders in New York State who had been accused
of sexual abuse at Tuesday's news conference noting that
state law had recently changed to extend the statute of
limitations for childhood sex abuse. Wow.
Cohen tell let me say a couple of things. One I was when I was
a kid, I was a Catholic, and I was a boy scout. And the funny
thing was, is that you always heard when you get to be around,
man, at least by 14, you always heard these little rumors about
one thing or like, and it would be about always be about some
priest. Yeah. And it was the same renewal. It wasn't like a
big shock to anybody. There's some priests was weird. Never
heard anything ever about the Boy Scouts being abused by the
you know, it just never I just never was in the wasn't there. I
just never heard of this. This is all new. And it's part of a
scheme to slam the Boy Scouts for a lot of different reasons.
Well, how about this? Well, let me finish my co until idea. Girl
Scouts are behind this. That's why I was
just going to say where's the data on the Girl Scouts, girls,
but the girls did prom with the Girl Scouts to having as they're
almost going broke. And the girls are joining the Boy
Scouts. Yeah, they liked the idea of camping. Yeah.
Yeah, they like cooking and camping. Yes. And not tying. And
that goes well with boys. Huh.
Anyway, I think it's some scam about it.
Yeah, no, that's, especially since I've gone back and change
the statute of limitations. We'll have to see what happens.
Oh, by the way, that seems a little ex post facto to me.
Yeah. Well,
apparently that's possible.
I don't think so i think is bullshit. I think if somebody
took that to the Supreme Court, you can start changing the terms
of crimes after somebody say committed 140 years ago. And
then the statute of limitations wore off. 10 years later, John
say, well, there's no statute of limitations anymore. Ultimately,
it was free. He was literally free after 10 years because of
the early statute of limitations. It was that
important. They should have had him extended earlier this I
don't like this that's how they're gonna get us podcasting
without a license, right. But sir, the host file, syncing back
then.
Sorry, son, no, no, no, no, no. That's how we're they're gonna
get us I'm positive. Or perhaps for identifying memes way ahead
of our time. Everyone knows. The true. That's true. I'm hearing
this everywhere. We are so so on. On top of all the trends.
Here's a an ad for an a Napa and a PA auto parts pro in Canada.
Navia.
People say that NAPA Auto pro technicians can add all kinds of
jobs. Suspension. Brakes, mufflers. Batteries. Hey, it's
true. It's true. Napa AutoPro. True.
Come on, man. It's true. We've we've set the trend with this.
It's true.
It's true. We have I doubt say we should take credit for that.
Yes. Yeah, just a little bit because we promoted the ISO it's
true. Yeah. People are pulling At Apple we we've been pushing
it
out because we love it. And as a bonus, it's true. It's true. All
right, you got anything else or should we should we leave
some white collar I got to do it. But let's get this out of
the way. This is the Digital Democracy Now. 48 second clip on
Trump's taxes or was all preoccupied with his taxes.
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Steve Minuchin Tuesday failed to
meet a congressionally mandated deadline to turn over President
Trump's tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. It's
the second time a nutrient has refused a congressional order to
turn over Trump's tax records. In its statement, Minuchin said
he provide a final answer on whether he would comply by May
6. Democrats say they need to know whether Trump's myriad
business interests both at home and overseas are affecting his
decisions as president House leaders are employing a portion
of the tax code that grants tax writing congressional committees
the power to request tax information on na filer. The
provision was created after the Teapot Dome bribery scandal of
Warren G. Harding's administration in the 1920s
What was the Teapot Dome scandal?
The Pete Teapot Dome scandal is always considered to be the
worst you had to look it up on the wiki page to get to details
but it was considered the worst scandal in the history of the
United States ever and it had to do with some corruption at
renewal oil businesses something like that I'm not I don't
remember it anymore. I'm well I know that there was a lot of big
is all based New York kind of situation it was just a mess. So
it was New York base two fantastic everything's New York
based.
Well that will do it for now. I'm going to see if the washing
machine has arrived. And then I'm gonna go order new cables
and the new mic and all kinds of stuff. It's gone crazy over
here. I still don't have my mail. But I am mail you

issue is how are we going to pay for it? And like this is the war
This is our World War Two.
Or that Leo DiCaprio is word should be taken as gospel
because He's so dreamy and that we should trust what comes out
