The Chinese are stealing all the toilet paper. Adam curry, John
C. Devorah. It's Thursday, May 9 2019. This is your award
winning get my nation media assassination episode 1136. This
is no agenda, propagating my handlers formula and
broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas
capital of the drone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry and
from Northern Silicon Valley where global warming is freezing
us out. I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
I agree it's been nothing but chilly and rainy here in Austin.
And it's it's May it's supposed to be warm and hot boy
here. It's supposed to be summer. We have our summer in
May, June a little bit and then it gets cold. I mean, normally
because it fogs up. But no, it's been there has not been one day
of warm weather. Since mid April.
For 11 years, we've been saying whatever the government says go
the other direction.
It's a sure bet.
Yeah, of course. We still believe in the 70s global
climate change stuff. Yeah, that will result in global global
cooling. We're all gonna die from from from Korea. Frost Yes.
Cooling,
cooling, cooling. All right. Well, it's been a pretty
interesting day. Week.
Shows days just getting started here. Yeah, well, the side show
is still on in full effect. The
it's an embarrassment, both sides.
It's an embarrassment to both sides. It's an embarrassment to
the American news media, which I'm sure is, in turn creating an
embarrassment for World Press. This Sideshow is just terrific.
So we had this one woman, Mary Scanlon, and her extra middle
name is Chiron is Mary, gay Scanlon GA y e. No, just GA y.
Straight up gay. going on about how it's so obvious that the
Muller report indicated that there was Russian collusion,
they can't get off this thing. And then they had this woman
Escobar Come on, and she goes, I gotta get these clips. I didn't
get couldn't catch him soon enough. She goes on to saying
the Muller report clearly indicates that there was Russian
collusion, and clearly indicates that Trump clearly indicates
that Trump was obstructing justice trying to cover up the
obvious Russian collusion 11 times. And it says, though, that
they either didn't read the read don't care what the report said.
Then they have to scan what goes on and she says, We're not
asking him for bar to break the law. He just has to give us the
whole report.
Yeah, which would be breaking the law. I mean, the law could
be changed obviously. changed the law. You guys now my
favorite is constitutional crisis. No longer co equal
branches of government. We're all going
to die. Obviously, I
did have something on.
Yeah, yes. Was it?
Me see where the hell was that? I had a Judge Napolitano who?
Ever since he's been relegated to Fox nation.com. With Tommy
Lehren as his boss, he's, yes, he. He's, he's really come out
anti anti Trump, which I really don't remember him as being I
thought it was exactly the opposite. So it's very
interesting to listen to him. And he had a great little piece
on bar on bars background.
Before you go on that notch. You mentioned it. I'm now reminded
now that you mentioned that he's used to be pro Trump. Now he's
anti ager. I'm reminded of the worldwide Wrestling Federation
or worldwide Wrestling Entertainment.
Yes, we're now flip. Yeah, we got to flip. We got to be
against this guy. And then the bad guys the good guy, and then
we bring in the Samoan twins. Yeah. And Debbie. Oh, yes. Well,
here's the Samoan one twin Judge Napolitano. Speaking of Bill
Barr, who he knows quite well, is Barr a
particularly bad Attorney General.
What kind of a question is that? Doesn't matter. This is Reason
TV. So it stands to reason they'd have a question like
this, but the answer is, it's even more fun. Is Barr a
particularly bad Attorney General.
Oh, Nick. I mean, the bill Barr that I know when he was the head
of the Office of Legal Counsel in the early years of the George
HW Bush administration. So that's the think tank within the
DOJ that tells the rest of the DOJ what the law means. And from
there, he became the attorney general rule The original memo
to the President about the constitutionality and virtues of
mass, warrantless surveillance. So right there it's very
difficult for me to find good about him. It would be an
unbelievable good would be angels coming down from heaven
type good to outweigh an evil that pernicious and pervasive
because from that single memo, develop the 60,000 domestic
spies we have now that work for the NSA. Yeah.
Good work. Good work bar. This makes total sense to me. This is
exactly the guy you want in there to protect to have molars
back. As molar Wenning. Cleaned up now. Barr has got to come in.
He's someone's got to be the Patsy. Someone's got to go down.
That's his job. And he'll protect everybody else. He knows
how it works. He knows the system. He was a part of it.
Well, nobody's looking at it that way.
We aren't looking at well, we we were objective.
The way the right wing is seeing this is the bar is coming in.
They're not to protect people, but to indict. Yeah, he's gonna
get everybody.
How doubtful is that?
I don't buy it because I see no evidence of it. And he hasn't
indicted one person.
No, someone's gonna go down. I'm not sure if it's mean, the
problem is the is the CIA stuff. And the Brennan, you know, in
trapping Papadopoulos or not really mean honey trapping and
really, and trying to give him information that they could say
he then had and was trying to do something with and therefore
justify their, their, their spying warrants actually had
another clip about that. Let me see where was that? Yes, this
is. And I learned a new term from this Joe Digenova Digenova,
who is a former US attorney, but now he's kind of like a Fox and
Friends guy.
Yeah. I will also comment that I liked this guy what he has to
say, but I think it's just piled high with wishful thinking.
Completely agree. But I did like the new term. We learned that I
want to switch gears here and ask you about this news out of
the New York Times last week, about a spy that was placed
another spy that was placed on George Papadopoulos in September
of 2016. Identifying herself as as raw Turk. We know thanks to
the New York Times reporter who went on CNN and said this, that
she was not an FBI agent. She was a government investigator
sent by the FBI and he's not willing to be more specific.
What does this tell you? Well, her name
is as returned, which of course is her nom de guerre. Her war
name. It's not a real name. She is what they call in the
business, a spy slot. He was used as they call it honey pots.
Have you ever heard this one?
No. But it was hinted at in Perkins in his economic hitman
book. Oh, it was a spy slot that got him involved with being an
economic hitman.
Right now we've heard of honey pots, but spice law this is a
good one and that's in the
better coordinate sense.
That's why we call it in the biz. Hey, we got that spy slide
from Turkey on deck yet day. He has a little bit more to say.
But just this was the most important part was the new term
is her
nom de guerre. Her war name. It's not a real name. She is
what they call in the business, a spy slot. She was used to they
call it honey pots in business terms of spice. They use that at
the agency. It's called a spice. Wow. She is was used by the
agency to entrap Papadopoulos. Let's remember what all this
this is all about. George papadopolis was nobody. He knew
no Russians. He had never been to Russia. He didn't even read
anything about Russia. What was happening here, this is what
John Brennan set up along with Comey. They put agents of the
United States government and foreign assets from other
intelligence services in play to plant information with
Papadopoulos that he would repeat back to some other
foreign intelligence services, who would then feed it to the
FBI and create a basis for a FISA warrant, or an arrest when
Papadopoulos returned to the United States from overseas.
Make no mistake about it. This had nothing to do with
collecting intelligence from Papadopoulos it had everything
to do with planting intelligence. With Papadopoulos
he was being used to create a false narrative to interest to
frame the incoming president of the United States.
There you go. I think that sounds believable.
That's not only believable but it was a huge blunder because
the Papadopoulos character, have you ever seen him interview or
anything as such, it is such an innocent soul.
He's an international douche. Okay, there.
I don't have a cough. But
if you don't have a lung from
sounds like I swallowed my tea instead of or breathed the tea
instead of swallowing it. You okay? He stole it. I think he's
still an innocent guy. Who's he's just kind of this. He's a
dummy. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you told me this. Okay. Well, but yeah,
you should pass it on. Yeah, if I remember. You know? Yeah. That
was a it was the wrong guy.
Do you mean the wrong guy. I know. It was the perfect guy to
plant on. I think it was the perfect guy.
He was the wrong guy cuz he didn't do any real damage.
I love how he's talking about this, Azra Turk and interviews.
Things like well, she was very flirtatious, but of course I
didn't I didn't fall for that. Okay, George. He's got this hot
Italian lawyer wife who hangs out with she's she's very, very
smart. And I just wonder, like even Papadopoulos, you cheater.
I'll bail you out. But you're my bitch from now on.
So there's no evidence that anything happened?
No. But we do know we have a namely spy slot. Sounds so
great. I'd love to hear that on CNN. The women in
the agencies love the term.
Oh, yes. Well, slug can be a dude. Kind of dude slots.
Yeah, it was not as offensive. Really an offensive term? I
wouldn't want to be called a slot.
Yes, she is not offensive. You actually liked the idea. I said,
you're making it even worse.
Do not want to be called a slot is what I said. I don't like the
idea.
Oh, I thought you said you'd want it to be oh, oh, well, it
makes more sense.
Do you have anything else on on any collusion that?
Yeah, I have a couple of funny examples is not my big
collection, which I hope to come more on Sunday. But listen to
some of this stuff. Some of these idiots said, Here's my
favorite one. She Well, no. First, let's play Sensenbrenner
bitching and moaning about you can't release the report fully
because of all the legalities involved. So just get that out
of the west
Sensenbrenner is a representative. You know, he's a
senator on the Senate. I think it is.
He's a representative. Yes. Judicial Committee.
I think it is absolutely shocking that the majority of
this committee is going to ask the chief law enforcement
officer of the United States to commit a crime. Shocking,
shocking.
And the crime would be to release unredacted e six blahdy
blahdy blahs?
Yeah. So meanwhile, Trump just put the kibosh on everything.
And I sit down knowing and just pronouncing it yet another way.
kibosh on everything. And so this got Sheila Jackson, who
would have been our favorite representative had not
Maxine Waters come onto the scene. Yes. Up there
up the ante by Sheila's run, and she's going for it with one of
the most idiotic comments ever,
that the President now seeks to take a wrecking ball to the
Constitution of the United States of America. For the first
time in the history of the United States, a president is
now exerting executive privilege over every aspect of life.
What maybe we should just step back for a second just explain
exactly what this is about, because it is so idiotic. It is
literally almost down the technicalities. And just to make
in this case, the Attorney General Barr look like a douche
bag, a puppet the president's lawyer law that you know, he
massaged the public by not releasing even though he's has
no had no obligation under the rules to release the report.
They just want the whole report. We voted on it dammit. Rules.
Laws be damned. We want the report and it's just a big show
and it's so tiring to watch. Because you really get almost
nothing from it, except if you bonehead clips.
We get a lot of great clips, especially when you have
executive privilege over all aspects of life. Yeah. I have no
idea what that means.
I actually I believe her doesn't matter. And I totally true. It's
true
to what they okay. My summary is the following. The report comes
out as inconclusive. It's not even inconclusive. It's
conclusive that nothing happened. And so you Barr
decides, I think Barr made a strategic error here. Barr
decides that he wants to just get the whole thing out of there
and get to. So they have it redacted professionally to get
out certain things that you can't release. It's just against
the law. And there's nothing of any importance that's not been
released. So they really said, so the Democrats because they
didn't conclude what they wanted, which is that Trump is a
is a Russian agent of Russian spy, working for Putin, Putin,
Putin, Putin. So he, so they want the whole thing. They want
to see the whole thing. So hoping that he doesn't release
it so they can moan and groan that because now they can say,
oh, there's all kinds of secrets in here that just covering up
for Trump, right? And it's very effective so far, but what Barr
should have done was released a heavily redacted version, yes.
And then gone back and done another pass.
In other words, diversion, he said, this version should have
been held. And then he should have just redacted it to an
extreme and sent that in, so they can bitch and moan about
full page of all redacted. The Republicans always like to do
during the Obama administration, look at this, it's useless. And
they'd hold up a page and the entire tone blacked out. Yeah,
exactly. Yeah. So he should have done that, and then said, okay,
okay, I'm gonna, we're gonna go over it again. And we'll release
this one, and then release it. And you think three, maybe
through three stages?
Yeah, you know, you don't think this they would have come up
with some other Gambit
would have stole them a little bit. The idea as to who's going
to get to 20/21? Yes. Well, that's always the president
until 2020. To hope to get him voted out. And more Democrats
voted in but it's it's I think they start playing their cards a
little too soon on this. Yeah, I think he's getting annoying.
Yeah.
I think it was, what do we have a Nancy Pelosi where she was
saying that this? See,
to constitutional crisis?
Yeah. Now, this is what we got from her. We have to make sure
that one channel is what we have from her for some reason,
sound political, but we have to
make lib, which is Pelosi unbar. Lying to Congress.
You didn't even hear the clip at all. No, I didn't hear anything.
Okay. Pelosi will play yours lying to borrow like
to commit a crime.
He lied to Congress, that he lied to Congress, and everybody
else did that it would be considered a crime. Nobody is
above the law, not the President of the United States and
Kloppers and not the attorney general, being the Attorney
General, does not give you a bath, to go say whatever you
want. And it is the fact because you are the Attorney General, it
just isn't true. You go to jail for there's a process involved
here. And as I said, I'll say it again, and how many questions
you have, the Committee will act upon how we will proceed.
You know, this may be a good point to to play my little
series of clips here because the woman is clearly
disturbed
by this by whatever happened, and I'm sure she believes
exactly what she's saying. And she believes that Trump is an
agent of Putin, and Barr is working as the personal lawyer
and all the things she says I'm sure she believes because this
woman along with many, many politicians, and many Americans
are traumatized. And I came across a great what I thought
was a great interview. You know, Aaron Matej, I'm sure you do. He
will. Yeah, you do. He works for democracy. Now. He has the gray
zone, which is a like a video podcast. But he's, he's kind of
a mainstream guy. I'm sure you've seen maybe Matej ma T E
axon Gu, maybe any and this I didn't know his father is Gabor
Ma Tei. And he is a world renowned, highly published
psychologist. And he gave for the first time, I think, an
appropriate analysis of the trauma that we're witnessing
amongst politicians, with the with the entire Russia collusion
story. He also analyzed I think, for the first time I've heard it
correctly, the President and his issues. And then in the third
clip, kind of a general overview of why you take those two
pieces. What's happening, why is it happening? So the guy is a
renowned psychiatrist, psychologist, and he's got
credentials and started off with him. Talking about this Strama
that is the Russia collusion story.
What's interesting is that in the aftermath of the Muller
funderbolt have no proof of collusion. There are articles
about how people are disappointed about this finding.
Now, this means that you were expecting something, you wanted
something to happen, and it didn't happen. So that means
that some people wanted Muller to find evidence of collusion,
which means that emotionally they were invested in it. It
wasn't just that they want to know the truth. They actually
wanted the truth to look a certain way. And whenever we
want to look at truth, we want the truth to look a certain way.
There's some reason has to do with their own emotional needs,
and not just the concern for reality. And in politics in
general, do we think that people make decisions on intellectual
grounds based on facts and beliefs, very often, actually,
people's dynamics are driven by emotional forces that they're
not even aware of in themselves. And I really, as I observed this
whole Russia gate phenomena from the beginning, it really seemed
to me that there was a lot of emotionality in it. That had
little to do with the actual facts of the case. There's no
question that for a lot of people in this country, the
election of Trump was a traumatic event. No one had
trauma reaction happens. We just say you're hurt, and you're
pained, and you're confused, and you're scared, and you're
bewildered. There's basically two things you can do about it.
One is you can own that I'm paying, and I'm hurt and
bewildered. And I'm really scared. And then trying to look
at what happened to bring me to that situation. Or you can,
instead of dealing with those emotions, come up with some kind
of explanation that makes you feel better about them.
So as I was explaining basic Trump, I think, the guy is a
lefty, he hates Trump. Sure. And here is his analysis of Trump.
He's much
more comforting to believe that some some enemies doing this to
us than to look at what does it say about us as a society, them
there was a massive denial of the actual dynamics in American
society that led to the election of this traumatized and
traumatizing individual. Oh, Donald Trump is a clearest
example of a traumatized politician won't ever see these
in denial of reality all the time. He is self aggrandizing.
He really is fundamental self concept is that of a nobody. So
he has to make some huge and big all the time and keep proving to
the world how powerful and smart you know what kind of degrees
he's about and how smart he is. And it's a compensation for
terrible self image. You can't pay attention to anything, which
means that his brain is too scattered because it was too
painful for him to pay attention. What does it all come
down to the childhood that we know that he had in the home of
a dictatorial child, disparaging father, and a very weak Trump?
Who demeaned his children mercilessly, one of the Trump's
brothers dragged himself to death. And Trump compensates for
all that by trying to make it as big and powerful and successful
as possible. I mean, it's a clear trauma example. I'm not
saying this to invite sympathy for Trump's politics. I'm just
describing that that's what the man is. And the fact that such a
traumatized individual can be elected to the position of what
they call the most powerful person or speaks to a
traumatized society. And, and like individuals can be in
denial a society can be now. So this society is deeply in denial
about its own trauma, and particularly in this case, about
the trauma of that election. So one, one way to deal with trauma
is denial of it. The other way is to project onto other people,
please don't like about yourself.
So, of course, this is not like stunning news, but I've not
heard anyone on the left of any spectrum, analyze it this way to
date. And to say, Yeah, Trump is highly traumatized. And that
that is part of the trauma of the nation and I don't know
maybe of the world by his charm. Is part of his charm. Yeah.
Final short clip is the projection part. So yes, and
again, nothing groundbreaking, but good to hear that at least
someone is listening and thinking about it.
It's only a matter of historical fact that no serious person,
mostly a student of history, can possibly deny how the United
States has interfered in internal politics of just about
every nation on Earth. For example, in Chile, you know,
where there's an elected government that that America
cheerfully, overthrows even boasts about it, not to mention
the current indifference in Venezuela. on internal politics,
not to mention how, as you've pointed out, many others have
pointed out and usually boast a burden its cover about how the
United States helped Boris Yeltsin get elected. You know,
so even if it's true what the Russians have, even if it's the
worst thing that's alleged about the Russians is true. It's not
even one miniscule proportion of what America's public
acknowledged, it has done all around the world. And so this
rage that we project them, and this bad guy image that visions
of the Russians is simply a mirror, every inadequate mirror
of what America publicly and openly and repeatedly does all
around the world.
It's kind of a meta
thought about even men as your old saying, Oh, well,
thank you. Of course, it's my old my old saying what you say
if being yourself, mate, you cope due to health, but I had
not considered this part of it, where we're so I guess, maybe we
have considered it. But we're so aware of what the United States
has been doing all my life, for sure. In meddling in other
countries, and we've had a pretty interesting war. That's
still not really over in the Middle East. And so then, you
know, we're so upset about that. But of course, you can't say
that because the military can't love our troops support, the
troops can't say that. So the trauma comes out in this other
way of thinking that this really kind of miniscule country with
their power, Russia, you know, that they're the big Boogeyman.
And that is super projection. And it's interesting to see the
trolls in the troll room. A lot of them seem pretty traumatized
themselves.
I'm sure this this lizard, they're
just listening to this clip how they project about these clips,
you should go check yourself trolls.
Yeah, I can see that
was pretty obvious is more or less, that's what's going on.
Yeah. And that's what's so nice about people that are that are
paid Congress folk. That should be you know, you hope. The moon
I'm listening to this, this Escobar woman go on and on with
some interpretation of the report. It's just not there. As
if it's all true, and we have to do something immediately. And
this bar guy is the worst. I'm thinking what is what is wrong
with them?
By the way, I think that this guy didn't get into it. Part of
the real trauma of the United States and I would say part of
the troll trauma that I'm seeing is really 911 and because it was
so quickly after 911 that the truth movement started people
were noticing bull crap, all kinds of I mean, it's just
conspiracy theories. Now trauma, trauma, because we all know the
truth. The real story has holes in it at least, like man that a
lot of stuff doesn't make sense. You know, but we've been
suppressed. All you can't talk about on conspiracy theories. I
think that's part of the overall journey. Yeah, I think that's
part of the overall trauma. We it's unresolved man, it's
unreal. Yeah, we killed some guy threw his body in the ocean.
Thanks, Obama. But you know, we were supposed to be in
Afghanistan, but then we went into Iraq. I mean, people are.
Well, this actually came up in my phone conversation with my
handler last night. Okay, I called her all ears. Yes, I
called botanic. Actually, I called him in the in the
afternoon and he picked up because I can't talk to you
right now. So why? Because I'm in the middle of my Zumba class.
Exotic commercial. Just kidding, right?
No, no, because when he called back last night, I'm like,
Alright, first of all, what the hell is going on with you and
your Zumba class?
Well, you should talk. Me Nia, meaning your spin it may just
the same thing. It's just another version of an exercise
things like Pilates days or whatever the other ones that
what classes you got Pilates. You got Zumba you got fellatio.
You guys spend a whole slew
I love the spin fellatio class. That's my favorite. Well, he
said yeah, now remember, he's he's originally from Cuba to I
mean, he lived in Cuba. And I said to what what is this Zumba
shit. I mean, he mentioned like, oh, there's it combines this
dance and that dance as well. And I go three times a week. I
said are you good? He says I'm a very good dancer. And somehow I
believe him that he's totally
into it that people can dance is gonna be a visual cue by you
pick up a beat
Well the main thing you pick up a beat or two the main thing he
said is Anna. I'm with a woman now but he says it Zumba class.
There's no All men, there's no men you can score all day long
in Zumba class that was just his little side note another no
agenda. Just so you know for all you shut ins for all you in
cells learn how to Zumba. So I said, Hey, Steve, you know,
something interesting happened on the show when I said, you
know, we're not really taking any position per se about
Venezuela. We were score creating the the administration
for this botch of a job clearly based on or inspired by AD is
Wag the Dog scenarios from 50 strat 1950 strategies. And it's
a it's an embarrassment. And he's like, oh, yeah, and then I
go on it. But here's the interesting thing. And I told
him about the emails that I got that we actually both receive
one of them. And you know, what the content was and how they
both pointed. All three of them pointed to botanic is the guy
with with the message that I must tell our viewers, and while
I'm telling him this, he's cracking up. He's laughing like
a hyena. I've never heard him this way. He says, the same
stupid people who did this damn coup to thanks. You've answered
that question. And so he says, oh, is Adam It's unbelievable.
They have they have messed this thing up so bad. And he says, I
don't understand Elliott Abrams, who says he must have taken a
backseat to this and handed over the reins to Bolton, because he
says Elliott Abrams, that he did the coup in Chile. He's been
involved in other ones, of course, Iran Contra. And he
knows, as he says he knows. Elliott Abrams quite well. And
he keeps telling me that he almost killed Elliott Abrams,
because he had killed a couple of his informants who were none
seen. Right. Churchill talked about this. Yeah, exactly. So he
says not clearly, you know, this was Bolton running the show.
He's an idiot. And the CIA does all the on the ground. execution
of this, they said they messed it up, because the way it's
supposed to work is really, really fast. And let's just say,
if you were to do this with Noriega, I'm not saying Steve
pathetic did this, but let's just say it was Noriega that you
were trying to overthrow. And what happens is the negotiator
eventually goes into the Noriega compound and sits down and says,
Hey, you know, I'm here to take you out. And yeah, I know,
because the military's flipped, and it's time. And this is all
very civil, apparently. And I've got three planes, one for you,
one for your y's one for your staff, I've got the houses ready
anywhere you want to go, you want to go to Argentina, any
place you would want to be, we'll send you there. Here's a
big pallet of cash. And they go, and that is how the system
works. And they failed, they failed. They never got the he
says the guaido guy is is is really the problem. He doesn't
have the charisma, you know, I think he said, you know, stupid,
fake Obama looking guy who has nothing going for him. But he
was very clear. He said, We'll refine, we'll return. He says
all the military will fold, even if it means they have to get the
three planes and one for the Mr. Susan wives, etc. For the
military command. Eventually they get around to it, he says,
but this is just so incredibly stupid, and it bogs everything
down. And when I asked, you know, really what is this all
about? He says there's really only one thing the Russians
aren't that important. He says it's really this kind of
minimal. It's about China. And we don't need the oil. You know,
we've lived without it for a while we had a great system
going on where we we take Venezuela's crude, we refine it,
bring it back to them, and then sell it back to them. And they
go off and sell it and fill up all their Citko filling
stations. This is China is the problem China, we do not want
China getting any access to any oil whatsoever. Because that's
what it's about nothing else. Which is not like we didn't know
it. And so then I threw another thing at him because I've been
tracking something which I hadn't introduced to the show
yet. As one of our producers said there's something really
odd going not just odd, there's some bad stuff going on once
again between Serbia and Kosovo. Now remember, this whole region
is especially with Bosnia Herzegovina was a big mess in
the 90s because it 90s
Was Clinton zero Yeah. Clinton's era,
the 90s and we wound up crews missing a couple of people it's
still a huge mess
accidentally by some weird actions. This these things are
so accurate, blowing up The Chinese Embassy. Just
apt Funny how that happens. So the reports are now coming in
that there's once again all kinds of strife between Serbia
and Kosovo. Albania is playing a part in this. And the producer
who sent me all this information said I think they're trying to
do something because what is happening in Serbia, China has
named this its new gateway for rail to Europe, they have
already built a high speed rail between Belgrade and what's,
what's the country over there? That doesn't matter. They've
already put in high speed rail infrastructure. They, you know,
they're talking to real big game, they're putting all this
money in. And I said, you know, Steve, if, if our game is to
stop China, then this could be the next theater of some
bullcrap. Which would be really bad to have a repeat of the 90.
She said, Did you say Serbia? said yep, says, Oh, he says,
This is what we call a mousetrap. I said mousetrap.
Yeah, we're mouse trapping the Chinese. He says the Serbians
are the most ruthless, most bloodthirsty people in the
world. And they will quote fuck up the Chinese. He says the
Serbian mafia. And he said, By the way, they're mostly all
Russians. But he's the worst worst. Just killers. Absolute
killer thing says if, if it's Serbia, because I'm happy. I'm
happy about that. And who sponsors Serbia? With weapons is
Israel. Then mainly because the Jews did not from quoting here,
the Jews did not forget how Serbia saved the Jews in the
Second World War. And so there's there's giving weapons and
making sure that everything's all set up and tight for any
operations they need to do. So China could run into a very
nasty problem in Serbia. And I've heard this too, I've heard
never never take investment from Serbs because they want it back.
So
I thought, well, that's not the way the game is played.
So it seems like Well, everyone is still talking to big Russia
game. The real worry is indeed China. Which as we know, from
Joe Biden, it's not a big deal. Those guys are okay. Or they're
they're just trying to get good guys. Yeah, they've kind of good
guys. That's my report. I think that's a good report. Yeah.
That's the report from the handler.
That would give you an A for that report. Okay, well, that
keeps us up to speed on what's going on. Yes. Now in other
areas of events. There's some local stuff. There's the illegal
surveillance clip democracy now is kind of interesting. Oh,
yeah. So I'm watching these these hearings. And there was
one little thing that I think people shouldn't do. Because if
you're, I'm not recommending anybody do this, which is turn
on C span and listen to these idiots. But there is this thing
they do is call a move to strike the last word. We've talked
about this. Yeah, but I got a good clip from C span that
explains it quite nicely
to gentleman from Massachusetts rise. I move to strike the last
word gentleman is recognized for five minutes. For purpose. The
gentleman from Pennsylvania rise to strike the last word
gentleman is recognized for five minutes. What does it mean when
a member of the House says I move to strike the last word is
a question from a viewer in California. The house most often
amends bills under the five minute rule. That means five
minutes is allotted to each side of an amendment, the mover and
an opponent. Other members may get five minutes of their own if
they offer an amendment, which is just what they do when they
move to strike the last word to my house precedent, these
amendments are considered to be automatically withdrawn after
five minutes. members recognize they are used to lengthen debate
and no votes are ever taken on them. But there was a gentleman
from Minnesota rise, Mr. Speaker, I rise to strike the
last word gentleman is recognized for five minutes.
They also did something else, which was a real TV move, is
they went through the roll call again. Then everyone's like,
hey, what was my vote recorded as a did you get my vote? It was
like if some weird time stretch, it's you know, it's pathetic.
Well, I did catch an ISO from the Nadler committee that I just
thought was good.
Oh, here, it's all the way at the top. Those in favor respond
by saying aye. Aye. Opposed no, no.
That's good. Did you sweeten that? Or is that the way it
came? Oh,
that's nothing Those in favor respond by saying aye. Aye.
Opposed, no, no. That's good.
And to show and to share why Listen The reason it sounds like
it does is because you couldn't hear anybody someone was near
and now this was his I ended two guys right next to it were both
Republicans decided to bring it up a notch they still have it.
That's funny. So I'm listing talking about was just you're in
the process, they do have a little sub clip. Again, it'd be
nice to ask. Next time you do your monthly with the botanic
ask them about Moldova. There was this, there's this very I
will give credits a video podcast. So it's not really to
me a true podcast, but this guy does this thing and people can
look it up on YouTube. It's called bald and bankrupt. And
they get this is a bald guy who's going around the country
around various countries and he's just roaming around. I
mean, there's one where he's in. I think it's not Georgia,
Ukraine. It's some really far out middle of nowhere place and,
and he runs, walks into this village and the women asked him,
she said, Where did you get where'd you come from? And he
talks to me to be decent Russian is a Russian area. And she says,
Oh my god, I'm just surprised you're live. You walk through
that forest. Nobody goes in there. It's filled with wolves.
And so this is the kind of thing this guy's always wandering
around. So he's in Moldova. And he has got his his idea was why
why would anybody go to Moldova for a vacation at the Capitol?
And he just shows what I hellhole it is, it's a real is
Trump inhabit a shithole place? You can always tell I'm sorry.
Well, wait, wait. But anyway, so I got he has a lot of things to
say. But I got I think the crux of it is this clip,
you can always tell when you're in a poor country, when you have
signs saying we will buy here. People have to sell their hair.
If you've got to sell your hair to pay the bills, then you know,
you're in a bit of trouble. Unfortunately, I can't sell my
hair. Unless they want a bit gray beard. What a place. You're
only here to sell. You want to make some money come to Moldova,
you can sell your hair.
Did you see the hair email we got from the lawyer. But we got
an email about natural hair. We were talking about the natural
hair. Yeah. With Miss USA and our natural hair. And and so
this, I guess you missed it. I think you were on the note that
anonymous. As you noted the winner of this year's Miss USA
contest, a lawyer vigorously pointed out how she wore her
hair in a natural way. She may have tapped into the natural
hair movements own history of which I'm mostly ignorant. But
I'll submit to you that the winner made her remarks because
of another independent strain of thought. The legal professions
push for diversity and inclusion. And he goes through
quite a detailed account of his law firm. And he said it's just
some important highlights here is almost any practicing
attorney can tell you race, gender, class, religion and
other immutable characteristics are a part of many, many
professional conversations. Attorneys are regularly reminded
of their unconscious biases, ways to eliminate those biases,
and the need to hire attorneys of color to satisfy
institutional clients demands. Also how courts treat criminal
defendants differently based upon the melanin content.
Similarly, it's common to hear attorneys and this hurt me when
I heard this. Similarly, it is common to hear attorneys
complain openly and informal settings about white men, the
positions they occupy and the power that they wield to the
supposed detriment of all who are not like them. That's kind
of frightening when lawyers are doing that. Oh, yeah.
And so, oh, everyone's doing it. So it's not just the lawyers,
right? Well, anyway, going through, you know, his
experiences and how they have off sites where all they talk
about, you know, it's a diversity off site, but really
only people who are deemed diverse, such as him because he
says, I check all the boxes, I'm brown and, you know, half
polish. So it gets invited to all these. He says no, he talks
about how, you know, the I mentioned all this because an
undercurrent among those who invest, instigate these
conversations and coordinate such events is the belief that
individuals have a right to their own story, appearance,
sense of self, even in a professional and traditionally,
conservative lowercase c environment. Perhaps that's part
and parcel of fighting against some very real historical
inequities in our legal system. At any rate, it's encapsulated
quite well in the job candidate I interviewed a woman who
arrived with a nose ring and an unshaven mustache. She got the
job. The US Miss USA winners, perhaps the best embodiment of
where the trend might lead which was exactly what you talked
about. About the idea that you have to you have to hire people
with anything anyway they look which I'm not a against, but
it's it's an interesting observation, certainly how
they're going about it.
But I'm totally against it. You're against what? Hiring
people for certain positions, and ignoring the way they look.
I just don't think it's acceptable to hire somebody with
a mustache, which draws attention away from whatever it
is you're doing as a business. I mean, drawing attention to
yourself in certain situations, is not is not what is needed or
wanted by an employer. And to force it on an employer, I think
is unfair to the employer. It hurts their business. For
example, if I have two companies, and there's one woman
with a moustache, because she's loaded on testosterone, for
example, to minimize lesbian bed death that we talked about some
years ago, and she's all pumped up with with testosterone as you
got a big mustache. I ran into a moustache bagger at Whole Foods
the other day.
Oh, you're shopping with the elites again, huh?
Oh, yeah. And so she's there with a mustache, and no big
deal. And their whole foods are what you expect, kind of to see
the oddities. But in another situation, you have two
companies. And you have two women one with the mustache one
doesn't have a mustache and she's attractive. And there's
two companies doing the exact same business and you're forced
to hire the one with the mustache to do something that
may be front facing. In other words, customers see her at your
you put yourself at a disadvantage to the other person
because everybody knows that if you're gonna buy from one, you
have two choices I'm going to probably buy from the woman with
the this more attractive than the one that's maybe off putting
because she's passed away has to wear this mustache as a
political statement. I so I'm totally against it. I think
employers should do whatever they want to do in terms of
hiring. They want to federal. You Yeah, let them Yeah, Dream
on. That's not how that's not the trend. The trend is moving
away from that. I'm
telling you what my opinion is because you said you're fine
with it. I'm not
sure that's interesting. I don't think I said you're fine with
it. I said you're not fine with
it. No, no. You said you are fine with it. Oh,
me? Yeah, I don't care. Yeah, you don't care. But I didn't
know that you put it? Well.
Yeah, I don't. I guess I don't I just don't care. I'm actually I
live in Austin. So maybe I'm just immune. I just see this
stuff everywhere.
Well, I see it, believe me, I can't believe you see it more
than I do. Oh, man,
Austin, please. Actually, I had a meeting yesterday with the DJ
for our for our our wedding. Who will be the only black guy the
wedding as far as I know. He's probably one of the few black
guys in Austin. But he's from. He's from the UK. from the UK.
This call he has a little. He's got a little British accent.
Yeah, he's got dreadlocks. He's he's been here six years. And so
I just wanted to meet him. I don't really converse with him
over the phone and email. And then we're just chatting away.
And the engineer I said, Well, what's it like to be the only
black man in Austin, Texas? And he says, You know, I gotta tell
you, and you and I, John, we discussed how racist they are in
the UK. But he made an interesting observation. He said
for all the bullshit that's talked about America, the
opportunities here for anybody of color, certainly black pieces
are so incredible. He says whereas in the UK when everyone
was invited in from Jamaica, which is his roots and your all
of the all of the colonies and you know this is back in the
what was that? The Edward Heath days? So is this the 50s 60s
like, Hey, everyone, we screwed over in the colonies come and
live here. But they they kept these people in low paying low
wage jobs never really had a conversation, a public discourse
or conversation about the differences in race and just
race in general. He says in America, you know, once there
was desegregation, you got things like historically black
colleges and universities, you got the NAACP for good or bad,
because you have all these different things. And you have
you have an upper class, super wealthy black, you have a big
black middle class, and of course, lower lower class, but
he found in his comparison, and the United States is far less or
I wouldn't say that he said far less racist, but he said the
opportunity is almost an equal footing. And he was very pleased
with the he said now, he still has to be careful driving while
black. But I was I was surprised, in a way delighted to
hear what he had to say about that.
Sounds right.
Yeah. No, that doesn't sound right. If you look at the media,
we're just a bunch of racists and bad Rick's pricks. We are.
Especially you and me. bold white men.
Like men are the worst. Yeah, this is true. It's true. Anyway,
so that was that mustachioed Yeah, they mustachioed The
problem is the testosterone starts to affect your voice.
You're going back to that, trying to move on from this.
Okay.
Let's switch gears and go to the by election that just happened
in Canada. Oh, okay by election is I'm sorry, your your quick on
the draw today?
Well, you're leaving, you're leaving gaps in your speech
which is typically a cue for me. So look at yourself.
Well, yeah, well, I felt like setting I'm going to probably be
setting all these clips up because they're they're vague. I
just wanted to say by election is the same as a special
election. It's one of these off the wall elections that we have
in the United States out of the blue because somebody quit or
something like that. So this was historical. To
we begin with an election that not only made history in this
country, it could be a litmus test for how Canadians are
feeling about the big three political parties right now.
They all went down to defeat in a by election last night on
Vancouver Island, losing to the Green Party candidate Paul
Manley in Nanaimo lady Smith, he becomes the second elected Green
Party member of parliament in Canadian history. He will join
the party Green Party leader, Elizabeth May on the campaign
trail ahead of the federal election in the fall. Today,
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave his assessment of the
results
under the clear things we've seen from from this, this by
election, and I want to congratulate all the candidates
who ran it it is a Canadians are really preoccupied about climate
change.
preoccupied
Yeah, they see according to him, now they have to, to hold two
Green Party members of the parliament to and so this is
historic, because this guy was the second one from part of the
Vancouver Island, and north of Victoria. And so they tried to
make it look as though and this is the thing that got me about
this clip was that there's been reports now and you're starting
to see and I've mentioned in the newsletter, a little bit, that
the Democrats have been doing a lot of polling of Democrats. And
currently, I don't have a clip of this, but it's not hard to
document. The number one issue amongst the Democrats is now
climate change. And it took over from the old number one was his
health care was number one, there was concern about
Wait a minute or so. Let me understand. So they're polling
just Democrats?
I believe so. Yeah.
And and climate change is, number one, I have a hard time
believing this. Why would
you do that? Why would you have a hard time believing Luigi
Lizabeth Warren just did a flip. Now. She's all in on climate.
No, no, hold on. I'm not saying the politicians aren't seeing
that as the strategy because it's easy to promise all kinds
of stuff. And you will not you will never be around to see if
it was true or not. That's what politicians do. That's great
idea. I've seen poll after poll after poll that shows climate
change at the bottom economy, jobs, education, this stuff is
always at the top. How can this all of a sudden be the number
one issue?
And this is amongst Democrats? I believe it's Democrats only I
think with the polls you're looking at is the public polls,
where they hold the lecture and yes, yes, they got climate
changes. Number eight or something, you know, normal that
you'd think especially here where we're freezing to death.
Yeah, where it should be boiling hot right now. No, apparently
they could be bullcrap. I mean, I'm not saying that there's
somebody didn't get in there and then put their thumb on the
scale and push this to the top because they're all in on it.
But no, and now everybody's talking more people are under
the green New Deal and climate change, climate change, climate
change, and every candidate now that's on my list on the
contenders list that I published on the cosmic weed. Yes. Your
cosmic weenie report card. Yes, is all in on climate change. And
budaj edge is more so now. Beta O'Rourke, who is trying to make
hay with
he's got a five $5 trillion plan.
impeach impeach. impeach is good, but I'm you know, he's
really pushing these moves to climate change the top of his
discussions. These people are, I think clinically insane. This is
this.
This couldn't be a concerted or coordinated effort, Scientific
American, published an interesting article about
children changing their parents minds about climate change. And
they've done all kinds of tests. Yeah, here's the best part. It
turns out because of course, they did this amongst
Republicans and Democrats, and that named as such in their
study, not conservatives or progressives, just Democrats and
Republicans and the flip from Republicans according to their
Research is dramatic. The minute kids go, Oh, I'm afraid of dying
of climate change, boom, they're all in on climate change
according to Scientific America,
I'm not buying it. The one thing that one of the problems you
would kids who get into this, have some, I believe, and I
might probably will offend more than a few people. I believe
they're, they're not being raised with any parental
guidance. I mean, if you had the kids that you could, like, they
have clips of crying and moaning and groaning they're gonna die
any minute. It's all because of these these onerous teachers who
are, you know, promoting with the kids, these ideas to kind of
ruin the kids and the parents do nothing about it. We've had
situations in my household, we had a couple of kids that came
home from school with some crazy report. And we immediately pull
them out of school.
Exactly. Already. Science.
There's a classic for you, Dr. Kiki.
Yeah. So this is becoming the Canadians, of course, are all in
on this even though it looks as though the Canadian public is
like, yeah, okay, whatever until they get taxed.
Yes, then all of a sudden, it's not so fun anymore, is it? Yeah,
same to the French. Same for the French lips.
It's called Lip Service, and the politicians don't seem to
understand it.
So from Europe came two interesting pieces of news. One
is and the way this was reported was great. The UK reported that
in the past year 0.0% coal was used in generating the United
Kingdom's electricity 0.0. Of course, when they get you, what
the IES what they didn't mention is that 56.9% Who was produced
by gas, no. Wind 5.3 Solar 5.3. So yes, this is exactly the way
it's going. British Petroleum is all in on, on helping you with
your windmill dreams because they get to build more gas fired
plants because windmills don't produce or solar panels, the
same amount of energy all the time. But then in Germany, and
usually their Spiegel is quoted a lot in the US press people's
Oh, their Spiegel reported this. Have you seen the new cover of
Der Spiegel? No. So it's it's a beautiful illustration of
windmills and electricity grid towers, tip the windmills,
their, their blades are broken. They're wrapped around, you
know, the, the high power lines are all snapped and everything's
crumbling. And it's about the energy vendor. And there's a
translation of it that they put online, the headline a botched
job in Germany. The conversion of the German energy system
lacks power plants, grids and storage, the state has wasted
billions. And it goes into great detail over of how ever since
Fukushima when Germany said Oh, that's it nuclear power. Gotta
get rid of that inner Keith and we're transitioning to the new
world, the new world of renewables 160 billion euros
later, it doesn't work. Everything's become that much
more cost effective and surprising to me the article
details that they never they don't have a department of
energy. In Germany, there is no one single department or even
person who was responsible for the energy policy and everyone
just kind of went like it's just a great idea we're gonna do
we're gonna close everything out everybody knows what to do go
and do it. And it's failed and they're now admitting it so they
have this huge admission front page their Spiegel in the the
articles, as I said as detailed and it's just ignored, ignored.
Was reminds me a lot of the I mean, people talk a big, they
talk about all this stuff and decide then mount appeal with
any scientific background whatsoever. They're all
sociologists, or they are they're, you know, community
organizers. Are there something along the lines of No, nothing?
Yeah, they very few of them come from the science community. And
the ones who do are either all in on on climate change, or
which by the way, as I mentioned, I don't have a clip
of this either. But I told people to keep a lookout because
there's a recent study that just came out, indicates that as you
know, we followed this when it was first global warming, and
then it became climate change. And then they said, Well, you
know, global warming was more is better because it makes people
more it taught that
was that was Newt Gingrich, by the way. And we go back to
climate change, which shows good climate change global warming
climate. The new one is they've all decided that the what you
have to talk about and
I know what it is, I know what it is. Of course you do. Yeah.
But climate crisis,
climate crisis is number one, because climate crisis
apparently gets people's attention. Yeah, works better.
No, by the way, climate crisis is the same as global warming
and climate change is all the same part of us. You have to do
it. The fact is, if you have to create buzzwords, in terms
terminology, getting people
interested in the top
one, just call you're all gonna die. I
thought acid rain was good. I love that one. I thought that
was a very, very astute name. That sounded really bad acid
rain. Yeah, of course, crisis is great, because you can always
create a crisis around some topic. That's why I
think acid rain crisis if they'd kept that one go would have been
better with the plug on it. For some reason. Acid rain crisis
would have been a good one. Because you couldn't, you know,
it wasn't working out. Wasn't that much acid rain? It was, if
you remember acid rain, which was another one of these things
to scare the public was going to melt everything.
Yeah, we were literally going to melt away from the acid. And
then we had the hole in the ozone layer. And just having a
hole in anything is good. You know, it's like a if you say you
got a hole in your pants, a hole in your boat. People respond to
these words, climate change was did what it was supposed to do.
It did make people less interested in global warming
wasn't really good enough. So
that climate crisis and then you promote this idea of in 12
years, we're through even though like they mentioned in the last
year, we had the clip with Hanson talking about 1988 He
claimed at the West Side Highway in New York would be underwater.
You know, nothing going on. This is unbelievable.
Yeah. With that. I'd like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to the man who put the seeds in both words
of climate crisis John C.
Clinton morning to you Mr. Adam curiosa, and memorial shift and

Oklahoma City but then June 15, Copenhagen. And make sure you
send us or tweet pictures or do something we'd love to see this.
We'd love to let everyone know. Copenhagen. Yes, Copenhagen.
Again, it's in the it's in the happiest place on earth. We all
know Denver's gonna be we all know Denmark is the happiest
place in the world. If you go to no agenda meetups.com You can
find out all the details and you can start your own meetup. And I
commit that after after the wedding. After we get through
the next couple of weeks. We should be showing up for some
meetups again, it's going to be time.
You know. I've been to Copenhagen quite a few times.
And I've always regretted the fact that I've never been to
that amusement park. That's their world's first amusement
park.
I don't know anything about this. But I don't know. I don't
know. I don't know anything about the world's first
amusement park in Copenhagen.
Oh, it's the Tivoli Gardens or something like that. Let me look
it up. Yeah, it's a fantastic place. From photos.
What were you doing in Denmark in general? If you've been there
a couple of times.
I've been there more than two times. I wonder about five
times. We used to have a tail over there mice? A piece? Yeah,
piece. Yeah. A piece of PC Magazine. Used to be have a
branch there. And yes, of course, aren't you aren't used
to good old days when I was going to just get to go all over
the world else's dime.
That's when there was money in cable too.
There was money all over the place until the internet came
along. Internet
web came along. I screwed everything up. And now you know
that we're taking a vow of poverty at home. I love how you
tweeted out that Bloomberg article yet again, another
article about making money in podcasting, with some glaring
omissions of people they might have spoken to.
Yeah, well, I'm not even putting myself in there. Leave that
you're in. So I always I like to have a hound people about the
fact that they ignore and they never talked to a whiner either
for No, no, of course, he's not a podcaster and doesn't care so
much. But you are an actual working, living working
podcaster who's been podcasting pretty much since you invented
it. And you invented it. So you could podcast?
Yeah, well, so I could do radio without all the hassle.
Yeah, but I get fired and burned down to studio. Well, there's
that
then I think I tweeted that I'm no longer going to going to tell
people how to do it. I'm taking the secrets of money making and
podcasting to my grave.
Yes. And I tweeted after that, that I know the same information
and I'm now doubling my rates.
Alright, everybody, you're up to speed on lots of things. But as
John said, mostly we want to thank and that's the whole
intent of that of our segment. Thank people who are the
executive producers and Associate Executive producers of
episode 1136 of the best podcast in the universe you too can be
an exec or an associate exec or just support us any way you can
by going to vorak.org/n A and certainly you learn something
new I mean, go out and propaganda about Copenhagen.
Our formula is this we go out for people in the mouth
Those in favor respond by saying Aye Aye. Opposed no. They're all
on the fly. Just doing stuff on the fly.
Yeah, it's good. It's very funny. Quick clip. Yes. Just
once because I promised her we met at least mentioned it the
Royals baby.
Oh, brother.
Yeah. And Britain's new royal baby now how As a name he is
Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor. The parents say prince
who are Prince Harry of course and his American wife Meghan
Markel announced it today and they showed off their newborn
baby for the first time. The baby is seventh in line to the
British throne.
So start killing now.
I saw I saw a funny, it was a funny article. It was in the Los
Angeles Times that's why I even brought it to the to our party
today. headline, will Megan Markel and Prince Harry raised
their baby to be black. You Why, LA Times.
They're racist. What a racist commentary.
But will the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who's very married,
reasonably black are they gonna make him play basketball with
they're talking about a read from the article? You get to
chuck it in a bowl in Ebonics. You're so
racist. Will the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who's very
marriage was a break from Royal traditions break with the
tradition of British royal family life and raise their boy
their way? He'll learn plenty about his royal background being
seventh in line to the throne. What will he know about its
American family? You'll know his royal when photographers
incessantly snap his pictures at events, but I'm guessing that
one of his first questions to his parents will be am I black?
The answer? Yes you are. And if he didn't guess it from looking
at his light skinned mother then you need only look at his
maternal grandmother Doria who lives in Los Angeles. I mean,
it's a
terrible story is tongue in cheek but maybe it's tongue in
cheek. You should not supposed to write news articles that are
tongue in cheek.
But I don't know if it's I don't know if it's a news article
looks like an opinion piece
of his opinion piece. I guess it's okay. You do whatever you
want.
I see if they listed as opinion. Yeah. Opinion enter the free
opinion. Okay. But I thought I thought it was I thought it was
funny. But I also thought it was a valid point.
You could not even be raised as an American. He's gonna be
raised as a British upper class Class snoot.
Possibly, let me that's what you do. Yeah.
It's not gonna be he's gonna be raised with a butler. Many
Americans have a butter. None.
Do you want to do a just just a quick little wrap up of anyone
for 2020? I mean, just since we talked earlier about the report
card is Has anything changed? I mean, I'm still seeing actually,
I saw some betting odds. Trump is two to one. Biden is 16 to
one, and then it pretty quickly goes to the rest, which you go
up into. Once you get to Mayor Pete. Yeah, like at 160 to one
that he's gonna win the presidency. That is not just the
debit. That sounds pretty reasonable. So I don't think
Biden's at the top of the list, my list starts with Sanders. I
think he's got the best shot. And he has the best chance of
becoming president of the group. And then it goes to Hillary.
I love that. You're still on that? Oh, yeah. By the way, by
the way, I can just say something. It just happens every
election cycle. And I know when I say it, it only encourages
trolls. But but when I get emails, Hi, Adam, thank you for
your interest in joining Pete for America. We received your
application materials and our team will review your
application soon. dudes don't do this to me. I don't want to be I
want to be on the Pete for America campaign. People do this
all the time.
Yeah, well, Adam and creed comes easy to remember. Yeah. So John,
Hillary and did courses in the last couple of days in New York
Times just had editorial. The New York Times is becoming the
worst newspaper funniest
in my book, The
funniest, they said, There's Is there any reason that I can't
remember the headline, but it's, it's along the lines of is there
any reason we should have another white person is
president or no white man, as President, we'd have to have a
woman. And when they said she was they said so this is a
Hillary thing is the New York Times coming in for Hillary?
They don't surely don't think that Kamala Harris, or camallo
or call him on camera, whatever she wants to call herself is has
a chance in hell. And of course, Klobuchar and Warren are out
there not even on the top five is no maybe one of them is but
no, it's Hillary. Hillary is number two on my list. And then
number three, is Biden and I think he's falling and he can't
get up and he can't get up. Yeah, there you go. And after
that it's pretty much you know a crapshoot. Somebody says,
somebody has to make a move. So we, but maybe Buddha jig is
number three. I'd have to go look. But Buddha jig is a Buddha
judge judge, Mayor Buttigieg my boy Mayor Peabody jej. Yes,
you can talk to me. I'm a spokesperson for the campaign.
Now.
He Tenzing been up, but he's only moving up to he runs out of
money.
Right.
Sorry. Well, I did get a funny little short clip from Andrew
Yang, who I'm sure it doesn't appear on the radar anywhere.
We doesn't match the Gen Z. Yes. Well, that's about it. We do
have Zoomers that listen to the show. And they call us and bitch
that we don't we don't talk about Yang enough.
Okay, let's talk about Yang I thought he had a very funny
moment. He had a moment where his campaign really came
together around a chance you know, if you if you really want
to succeed in American politics, you need to have people
chanting.
Yes. So now we get her up the luck.
locker or four more years is one that you hear a lot. What else
do we hear? Well, let's listen to Andrew Yang's. This was a
rally in Seattle. I'm gonna be the first president to use
PowerPoint in the State of the Union. Wait for it.
Make another PowerPoint champ? Don't do it? Yes, this is the
nerdiest presidential campaign in history. We didn't. We
weren't quite there until that moment. But then
I gotta tell you, honestly, if he had a PowerPoint, that was
any good could now do that people would would dig that.
Look at this PowerPoint, just have a couple of slides showing,
you know, really idiotic shit that's going on how you're going
to fix it on the next slide. It would work. I think people
PowerPoint.
Back to my old commentary, which was in Ross Perot was running.
Yep. He used to have these little pieces of little cards
that he would show to the camera and he would point at different
things on the car didn't show and exemplify what he was
talking about with an illustration. Yeah. Now,
PowerPoint, obviously, if it was a PowerPoint era, when Ross
Perot was running, he could have run a PowerPoint. And I got into
a discussion with somebody the other day, they think PowerPoint
is like, ah, if you can't just go up there and talk, you know,
you're not you're no good. You're no good. But that's not
true. And I've done a lot of speeches and probably more than
this guy. And, and I found that if you don't have PowerPoint
serves two purposes. Do
you know what he needs? He needs, he needs a white
PowerPoint. That's what he needs,
is one of them is their notes that you can just show up on the
screen. So you don't have to keep looking down on the Dyess
for your notes. And it also keeps people they want to look
at something besides you. And a lot of times you don't have the
opportunity to be on the floor roaming around, you're jumping
up and down and doing crazy stuff. Because they don't make
your right and most venues right, you usually have a podium
mic and you and if your mic properly and you had some you
could run up and down and jump up and down and jump off the
stage and do things like that, and it would get people's
attention, but you need something for them to look at. I
don't think it's a bad thing necessarily.
I'm just saying he could turn it into his thing. He would stand
out good. It was instead of oh, I'm the gay guy from the hamlet.
I'm
sorry. I listened. I let that go by. You're absolutely correct.
It would be a very, could be a major could be the PowerPoint
President think about it. Yeah. The white PowerPoint president,
I still want you
to get started. And he would start his little speech off the
way Trump does. And yeah, you have the big giant screens
instead of the little ones. And they and they can start to chant
PowerPoint, PowerPoint. And then he flip on the PowerPoint and
we all go crazy and be the first president to use PowerPoint and
the State of the Union
in the State of the Union, that's what a great idea. I'm
all in I think I'm all in for Mayor Pete now
you should use
Yang I'm sorry Yang. Why am I
already lost apply?
It's working so well. I forgot who it is.
But he should not just use it for the State of the Union. He
should use it for his for his rallies
for his rallies. Oh my goodness. That is fantastic. I that was a
highlight for me. Hey, They don't shows you how bad it is
the power light, PowerPoint President fantastic.
Here's a piece of news that not a lot of people discussed. I
don't know why. And she came out is Pam Anderson. She went out
and visited Julian Assange and only a few people. The people
don't like to cover this.
And she's she was visiting him with some regularity while he
was in the embassy.
Yeah, the only democracy now I believe, is the one who covered
this story.
The actress Pamela Anderson visited WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange at the high security Belmarsh prison in London
Tuesday, Assange just serving a 50 week prison sentence for
skipping bail in Britain, and faces possible extradition to
the United States to face charges related to the Chelsea
Manning leaks. Pamela Anderson spoke outside the prison after
seeing him.
Obviously, it's been very difficult to see Julian here and
to make our way through the prison to get to him was quite
shocking and difficult. He does not deserve to be in a supermax
prison. He has never committed a violent acts. He's an innocent
person. He's sacrificed so much to bring the truth out and we
deserve the truth. And that's all I can say. I'm sorry, I'm
just I feel sick. I feel nauseous.
Pamela Anderson was wearing a cloak covered with references to
the history of free speech in Britain as well as prisons,
tyranny and the Levellers. Why
doesn't anyone really get her to sit down for additional do
interviews? Because it to me, it's been interesting since the
first time she visited Assange It was reported on and I don't
know her personally, I've met her once, I think at the MTV
beach house. Just a like a take. But I do remember seeing that
the whole movie with her and Tommy Lee, which is basically of
him having sex with her a lot. And steering the boat with his
with his Wang, which is just the thing to be seen. Snow isn't
that's amazing, amazing, man. That's Tommy Lee. But in that in
that otherwise, really lame home video, she comes across as
really sweet and really, you know, tender and innocent. So
yeah,
I get to understand being a mean girl.
Yeah, I'd like to understand this relationship she has with
with if it's just Julian or if it's free speech in general. And
what is her person? I mean, can no one the interview can no one
is a blonding. Bat. Alright, that's it. I'm gonna I'm gonna
get her on interview with Pam Anderson on this show. Okay, I
can make this happen. Yeah, you should. Then there's someone out
there who can help me. I'm sure. We'll find it. We'll find it. I
think that would be fantastic.
Yeah, sure. Interview with you. Whoo
hoo, what? Pod pod what
I now deal with the high podcast.
Forget about I don't want to have anything to do with the
podcast.
So we've got the Trump rotation back in play.
Yes, indeed. Where are we at now? He's broke. Yeah.
David Cay Johnston is the smiling gnome. It looks like a
note troll. on Democracy Now going on and on he hate is this
guy is the number one Trump nemesis.
Yes, almost two cents of every dollar reported as losses one
year by everyone in the United States were reported by Donald
Trump. And what this shows is something I've been saying and
writing about Trump for 30 years. He's a terrible
businessman, his business model is not to get an enterprise to
nurture it to grow it to make it more profitable over time. His
business model is the same as a mob bust out, get your hands on
an enterprise, squeeze all the cash out of it. Don't pay your
vendors, try to cheat as best you can. Your employees don't
pay the bankers and Trump once said I borrowed money knowing I
wouldn't pay it back, and then leave the carcass and go on to
the next deal. That's why the art of the deal is so
significant. And all of this because Trump's business model
is to rip off one person after another who gets involved with
him thinking he will make them wealthy while he is destroying
their wealth. Donald is after Bernie made off arguably the
greatest wealth destroyer in American history.
And the thing is, they just like our CIA and you know, the coup
meisters of Venezuela. There. This is done, really, whether
it's subconscious for this guy or not. These types of stories
and narratives are launched to really wind up with one little
thing at the end that'll that'll remain in the history books. So
in this case, it will be, you know that he was a liar. He was
broke. He's never been rich. It was all his daddy's money. And
that's all they really care about, because that will be used
in in the 2020 election and the amount of emails I get from
people who listen to no agenda to hate it. Of them, you know,
the script is that we've seen it before. It's like, how the hell
does anyone not make money in the casino? That's not? And I
said, Well, let me just Google that for you. Las Vegas casino
bankruptcy. And they've all they're all either in
receivership bankruptcy. They're in chapter 11. In and out, it's
how it works. Now, I'm not saying that Trump did a great
job clearly not. But then this is up until 95. When he was
called the comeback kid. I lived in New York during this time. He
was the comeback kid. Look at it. He was he was he was dead on
the vine. And he came back because mainly because the banks
couldn't, you know, couldn't take him out. They needed him
there was too too much money fail. He was literally too big
to fail for the banks at the time.
So was it casino business, you will use that as true. It's
true. Yeah, Debbie Reynolds had a casino in Vegas. And she
folded into the front here was when I won one of these after
another, either folded or there were many would like to dunes
they had to just dump demolish the place or the star does these
places don't stay in business. The ones who stay in business
arcs are run at an extremely high level. And I wouldn't say
that a lot of them are money laundering operations that are
extremely well set up.
Let's not say that say that? No.
Why would you want to know how to run a casino and it wasn't
one of his core competencies. They bitch about Trump being
crap in the casino business. It was not a core competency with
him. They bitch about him not being dude buying Eastern
Airlines and making it Trump airlines and it folded that
wasn't a core company. It wasn't like one of these airline guys
who goes from airline to airline started
out he was like a real estate guy. He was like me he had a
bunch of money and like yeah, let's let's fly Let's burn in
the air. It never works out. It's not it's not a good idea.
Don't
there's plenty of high tech guys who made a lot of money very
specialized in computers and the rest to get out of the business.
They go into aviation or they gonna these other things that
break them. Yep. Because it's their core competency is I mean,
it's not like Elon Musk, who's Quark, you have to first of all
figure out what your core competency is. Elon Musk, yeah,
he makes cars doesn't make any money. But it makes cars he
makes electric cars he makes rockets, solar panels. He makes
rockets do well, how do you be a rocket man if your car guy
doesn't make any sense? His core competency competency has got
nothing to do with any of that his core competency is getting
on the government dole Yes. Finding ways to leverage free
money. That's what the common he just saw these two big holes in
the in the bin all the schemes that he saw, he can hire all
these. And he's also noticed that NASA had a bunch of guys
they had to lay off because they were folding, pretty much
folding shop and they gave up on a lot of stuff. And they're all
these superstar really smart. You know aeronautical engineers
that could come over and build rockets. It's coincidental
you bring this up. I was just watching. Excuse me, the real
Tonight Show. And the real Tonight Show is a place where
you go to hear someone interesting speak about a topic
that then you may or may not be interested in with comedy
intertwine. And unlike what Fallon and Kimmel and Colbert
think the true tonight show of today, the generation today is
the Joe Rogan show. And Joe had an MIT artificial intelligence
research scientist on Lex Fridman very interesting guy.
Way too long to make into any Why have one clip? Lots of
interesting information about artificial intelligence how
completely unintelligent, it really is. But when it comes to
the self driving cars or in Elon Musk's case, the Tesla
Autopilot. He brought up the lack of situational awareness
that artificial intelligence has and the unlikelihood it will
have at anytime soon, which resulted in a very interesting
question regarding self driving vehicles, which you in
particular be interested about because they're roaming around
California and one
of the big assumptions about SEMA being things is that we
think that driving is actually pretty easy. And we think that
humans suck at driving those two assumptions, we think like
driving, you know, you stay in the lane, you stop at the stop
sign, it's pretty easy to automate. And then the other one
is you think like humans, are terrible drivers. And so it'll
be easy to build a machine that outperforms humans driving.
There's, that's a, I think, there's a lot of flaws behind
that intuition. We take for granted how hard it is to look
at the scene, like everything you just did, picked up moved
around some objects, it's really difficult to build an artificial
intelligence system that does that, to be able to perceive and
understand the scene enough to understand the physics of the
scene, like all these objects, that it like how to pick them up
the texture of those objects, the weight, to understand
glasses folded and unfolded, open water bottle, all those
things is common sense knowledge that we take for granted. We
think it's trivial. But there's no artificial system in the
world today. Nor will there be for perhaps quite a while that
can reason do that kind of common sense reasoning about the
physical world. Add to that. Today, pedestrians, so add some
crazy people in this room right now to the whole scene.
Ryan being able to notice like, this guy is an asshole. What was
he doing? Was he doing get off that skateboard? Oh, Jesus is in
traffic. Yep.
And the considering not that he's an asshole. He's a
respectable skateboarder. It that in order to make him behave
a certain way, you yourself have to behave a certain way. So it's
not just you have to perceive the world, you have to act in a
way that you have to assert your presence in this world, you have
to take risks. So in order to make the skateboarder not cross
the street, you have to perhaps accelerate if you have the right
away. And these are there's a game theoretic game of chicken
to get right. I mean, we don't even know how to approach that
as a as a artificial intelligence research community,
and also as a society, do we want an autonomous vehicle that
speeds up in order to make a pedestrian not cross?
I like this. I like this question. I really do. Hey, do
you want to these vehicles in order to sometimes take your
right of way or make traffic flow? You speed up? Do you want
autonomous vehicles doing that? I think it's a good question.
That's a great No. Oh, I
don't know if it's a great question. Great question. He
also mentioned it was too long to clip. But the way Tesla in
particular, so they do, of course, a lot of tracking and
testing, they run new software releases in Shadow Mode, so they
can see if the cars performing the way they they expect it to.
But they have every nine seconds. I think his statistic
was every nine seconds, there's a moment in a Tesla Autopilot or
an average I think it is, and where the Tesla Autopilot has a
moment where it makes the decision, but you probably
should grab the wheel. And you know, obviously, Tesla doesn't
really even let you let go of the wheel that long except for a
second or two. Because of all the accidents that have
happened, and but people are still putting oranges in the
steering wheel or a water bottle. And apparently that
tricks it into thinking that you're holding on to at least if
you have one or two hands on the wheel. Yeah, people there's tons
of videos of people doing that. But here's what's interesting,
people are violating the rules of engagement. Yes, of
course. Of course the people are super stupid, particularly those
that drive in Tesla's but what he asserts is because there are
the errors or the what they call oh crap moments are reasonably
frequent. That's why people are staying alert. He says the
better Tesla makes it the less alert people will become and the
more accidents are likely to happen because they start to
rely entirely on it. And these Indian an oh crap moment might
happen. You know, once in a trip and you just use become
complacent then we will see more deaths. He this guy's like you
have to certainly feels that artificial intelligence is it
has a place in the market but maybe not on the road.
Driving around 4000 pounds of steel.
Well, it's plastic with do they have steel in that car? Or is it
all just plastic?
No, no, it's steel that outside steel. And the frame is steel.
You have to be steel, but it's all glued together. Glue that
last part.
Anyways, it's well worth the worth watching that interview
that there was a there was a shooting in Colorado Highlands
Ranch and we got a number of emails and this shows you the
power of Gitmo nation of our producer network. Did you read
these? Did you get them? I think he might have been copied on one
or two of them. No. The first one was just a general local
over review of the press Adam and John. And I think keeping
both of these anonymous boots on the ground watching local
coverage of the shooting. The first few reports were struck
out to me was the anchors would say the shooters had quote
plenty of ammunition, in part due to the ease of buying it.
I'm not sure if this is the media tipping its hat that this
event will not be the focus of gun control but on how ammo was
sold and the changes needed. And he says a blue wave is running
Colorado and all kinds of bills are passing in record time.
Again, this was reported before the numbers were in on the
number of victims but the reports at the time included
that both shooters were taken without the need to engage them
now today's reports have two new items. A car found in the garage
of one of the shooters had graffiti all over it. The second
is one of the shooters is transgendered female to male,
which I think now we know we've seen this person show up in
court. The channels no longer say the names or show the
pictures of either shooter. I'm thinking this is our producer.
The car was spray painted last week as the result of the trans
person being bullied at school and this shooting was their way
of getting back overall a difficult situation to report on
if this turns out to be true. So hard to report on Well, another
producer, keep me anonymous, please. has lived in Highlands
Ranch for over 11 years. There's some interesting information
about schools in Highlands Ranch that the no agenda community
should know about. Highlands Ranch is the Colorado equivalent
of Irvine, California. It is a very large planned affluent
community. Is that like Stockton, that Stockton The
Stepford Wives is that what he's saying here?
Will there be a Stepford? i When I think of this I'm always
thinking this Celebration, Florida,
celebrate the city of crazy people.
That's a great place. Yes. What do you own real estate there?
No, but I try to visit it or it's just a very strange place
that exists and that was just this idea of, you know, Santa
future of life plan community like this. They never died.
So the Highlands Ranch community is split about 5050 Pro charter
school and anti Charter School. The elections for school board
are intense. People in pussy hats yelling Never Trump are
laughable compared to election time around here. About eight
years ago, men in masks showed up to harass people at a rally
for the school board candidates that were against charter
schools. They scared my wife immensely in 2017. My wife was
run off the road for having the wrong bumper sticker on her car.
The charter schools are not run by Gulin as in Mark halls
documentary but the fanaticism is the same. The Highlands Ranch
STEM school is not only a charter school, but also stem,
which is science, technology, engineering and math. And if you
had John has so aptly covered, the stem movement has a
fanatical following. When you add charter school with STEM you
get a school that can do no wrong. However, there are many
things wrong with the Highlands Ranch STEM school and this is
the information I think is fantastic. The school has no
school resource officers, which are also known as security
guards. The red regular public schools have at least one but
typically three resource officers and resource officers
that would be the ones to stop a shooting or intervene. Much
notably or most notably, and getting to the root of the
problem in high school shootings. They have no school
counselors. The regular public schools are required to have
many counselors. Also the school is in a converted warehouse in
an industrial area. There are over 1800 students K 12 packed
into a converted warehouse. The STEM school spends their money
in technology and the principal. They pay him $300,000 A year.
Wow. The Highland ranch stem charter schools up for
revocation last year but nothing came of it because charter plus
them is untouchable. So over 1800 kids in a warehouse that
have no security guards, and are expected to learn topics in
science and engineering beyond their grade level with no no one
help to help with the stress. Just shut up and code kids at
and that's kind of interesting because I got one little clip
from or is it here from the highlands. This is the students
who are in the auditorium and someone was starting to speak
and they they started to chant of their own no it's not
PowerPoint again, one channel I don't know why mental health
that chanting
Maxwell House
mental health, mental health. Mental health. So now they're
screaming for mental health. But it seems like this is like a
what a perfect calm The nation to have something horrible go
down.
No counselors, no counselors. And this is this is what charter
schools can become.
Now we appreciate the observations from our producers
in the area. But I my money is definitely on the bully. I think
that seems like that could have definitely set someone off
pretty bad. No counselors, complicated.
You should probably people should read old novel by John
Hershey called the child buyer, who I'm not familiar with this.
Yeah, it's about a bunch of kids that are really smart and writes
to Stanford time I hear all these stories about STEM schools
and some of these things to a bunch of very intelligent kids
have somehow been all rounded up. And if you're really smart,
you end up being plugged into almost like a, like a proto
matrix story. Only nobody's asleep. It just something out
there. People might want to take a look at.
If you're bored is not a long novel. We should put it on the
list. We're on the list. Yes.
Let's see.
Got a couple of things. First of all, did we slay this week we
had this thing you had the Judge Napolitano clip going on and on
about how
bar up was
no bar. No Trump. Trump was obstructing justice.
Oh, yes. Yeah, that was a promo for his show. Yeah.
Yeah. Did you have the did you hear the dirt? Did I play
Dershowitz version of that and his counter to it? No, it's
recorded. I never we never played it. I wanted to play it
and get it off my list. Because it really refers to mostly to
the peloton. When it's pretty good. It's Dershowitz is
obviously, you know,
what should I should I play that it? Should I play the
annapolitan Oh, clip that we played for reference,
played that clip and then play Dershowitz.
Okay, let me see. No, fine. Tano. What would it have been?
No obstruction. Here we go.
So when the President asked his former advisor and my former
colleague at Fox, Katie McFarland, to write an
untruthful letter to the file, knowing the government would
subpoena it, that's obstruction of justice. When the President
asked Corey Lewandowski, his former campaign manager to get
Muller fired, that's obstruction of justice. When the President
asked his then White House counsel to get Muller fired, and
then lie about it, that's obstruction of justice.
Okay, so he goes on for three minutes about it's all
obstruction of justice. And then he of course, is propagating
that on his program. And so now we go to Dershowitz and who
Dershowitz is where and this
he's on Fox Two, with one of the other shows,
which I will get to in a moment, Professor, let's start with the
Avengers. The President is resisting their subpoenas even
suing some of these congressional chairs. Doesn't
Congress have a right to hear from these Trump officials as
their oversight Congress does, but the courts also have a right
to check Congress. I grew up in the McCarthy period, where
Congress abused its authority to subpoena and to bring people in
front of committees, just to humiliate them, just to
embarrass them. And the courts ultimately stepped in and said,
Enough is enough. I suspect we're gonna have a real battle,
the courts will sustain some of the subpoenas but will refuse to
sustain others if they think they're being used for an
improper purpose. The Trump has really gone to the mat on this,
he's refusing to submit to any of these subpoenas or to allow
any of his staff to testify. Now I want to play something for
you. The President said today at the NRA convention, they talked
about his efforts that he says were meant to take him down
these efforts by the government watch pay tried for a coup
didn't work out so well. Corruption at the highest level,
a disgrace, spying, surveillance, trying for an
overthrow, and we caught them or words like coup and overthrow
over the tough professor. Generally they are but there was
one instance where it wasn't over the top when people talked
about invoking the 25th Amendment, which was for an
incompetent president. I use the term coup even though I tried to
be very balanced and reasonable. The 25th amendment was never
intended for a president who you simply disagree. Okay, I need
you to put your legal scholar hat on one of our own family
judge Anthony to politics guy. He is raising questions about
obstruction of justice. Okay. Do you agree is this obstruction of
justice? I do not agree. I think Judge Napolitano was terrific,
and we often agree about the law. But in my introduction to
the Muller report, I go through the elements of obstruction of
justice. The Act itself has to be illegal. It can't be an act
that is authorized on Under Article Two of the
constitutional firing the FBI director can't even a close
case. Look, the best analogy is President George HW Bush
pardoned Caspar Weinberger on the eve of this trial in order
to stop the Iran Contra investigation. The special
prosecutor said he did it for that reason. Nobody suggests
that obstruction, it can't be obstruction of justice. If the
president is acting within his authority. Nixon obstructed
justice because he acted outside his authority, destroying
evidence paying hush money telling his subordinates to lie
to the FBI. Positano says he told people to write letters to
the file, he told people to go and deliver messages, not not
obstruction of justice. Those are all legal acts. If he ever
told somebody to lie in front of a grand jury. That would be
obstruction.
Yeah, I think we're gonna have to outlaw any more clips about
this topic. I'm it's like, so boy, it's crazy boring.
Just goes back.
It just fills up the news media was deaf boy.
That's what bothers me. Yeah.
I do have some news from Texas. Texas has now put together a
bill which will codify the law regarding battery operated
scooters. And I think it's going to be very, it's going to be
very problematic. And although I'm happy with what they've
decided, I think it's too too late. And we're gonna see a lot
of dead dead kids dead, dead hipsters. And I'll explain why.
So here's the rule. If the if it passed, obviously, if it passes
and the governor signs it, it'll be law. You must be 16 or older
to operate a rented motorized scooter. Only one person at a
time can operate a scooter. And that's Oh man, how many times I
see two people on those things, which of course they do. Usually
two people on one. Wow. Yeah. And then they relive
it in your living in Taiwan in the 60s. Yeah, they can't
break that well, speeds may not exceed 15 miles per hour for a
standing scooter or 20 miles per hour. If the person is seated. A
scooter operator must yield the right of way to pedestrians. A
scooter cannot be parked in a way that obstructs the sidewalk
path road or any feature designed to help people with a
disability. And here's the most important one rented scooters
cannot be driven on sidewalks. And I think this is where we're
going to see a lot of dead hipsters because they all ride
on the sidewalk here and the cars are not hindered by them
very much. Now you put these things in traffic there, you
can't really see what it is there. Because they're also low
to the ground. I think we're going to see people getting
flattened because they will
not I would say you're probably right. And I don't understand
some of it because scooters traditionally which was
something you had when you were a kid, you wrote on the side
child's write their child's toys, transportation vehicles.
Child transportation vehicle, also known as a pram, yes.
And and they're designed for children and children ride on
sidewalks because they walk on sidewalks, they push their
little push, push the scooter on the sidewalk and skateboard they
skateboard on sidewalks. And so now all of a sudden you have to
move. Just skateboarders are supposed to go into the road to
that's what I don't want.
skateboarders are interestingly, most skateboarders are on the
road. They have they've been on the road ever since I've lived
in Texas, you know, skateboarders this did it's
different and it's just different and they're in and out
they're all over the place they and these you know if you're if
you're on a skateboard in public Anyway, you've got to be you got
to know what you're doing. You'll be you'll be injured
quite quickly. Violations could be punished by fines of up to
$200 I personally look forward to now of course I no longer
live downtown. But if we're downtown and someone's coming
towards me on the scooter on the sidewalk once this goes into
law, and I'm closed lining yeah sorry about that
arm straight out. That's
right. clothesline it but this is too little too late. Now
Texas. This is not going to people are so used to these
these damn scooters now on the on the sidewalk. But more
importantly traffic is used to not having to deal with them so
it has to start all over again. And people will die. The CDC
released their numbers 190 190 people injured with head head
injuries in taken to hospital to the hospital. Since the the East
scooters started in Austin, where they were the test city.
Come here kill our hipsters to see how it'll work in the rest
of the country.
Hey, what's an interesting situation? Good? Oh, at least
something's going on. Meanwhile, we're gonna get this. You heard
about the Uber strike.
But now is Uber going public this week. It's going public
right
after the strike, strike. Strike is designed to screw with the
IPO. You think?
I mean, the minute I heard the strike, well, of course, what's
happening is these drivers who have been completely, you know,
it's hard to make money doing doing Uber, if you want to do it
as a full time gig. It's only gotten more hard. And Uber is
doing all kinds of nastiness and basically stealing money from
the, from the people who drive. And I think that they're pissed
off about, about the whole IPO, you know, how do I get my Uber
millions? I'm out here doing all the work and you guys are
smart. Which they're not no, they would have distributed a
lot of the stock to the to the regular drivers who put in so
many hours. In fact, they would have encouraged more, you got to
put in, you know, this many hours for the last six months,
you're gonna get dead, you know, 100 shares or something. They
got plenty of shares. They're gonna go out with something like
$80 billion worth of funding, they have so much shares they
could have given it do which is the Silicon Valley Way, which is
the bribe people. Yes, it killed themselves with overwork.
How can Hey, why don't we let Silicon Valley do the coup in
Venezuela?
Yeah, they could do it, they could do a better job. They
could do a better job. But let's listen to the Uber strike report
from PBS
drivers from rideshare companies, Uber and Lyft
protested their pay in 10. major US cities today, they turned off
their smartphone apps, cutting their connections to would be
customers. Drivers argue that they are getting poverty wages,
but the companies they work for are earning billions in profits.
All drivers, you know, everywhere in the country
deserve a fair pay and fair and fair treatment. So we are hoping
that this will make a big impact and make up these companies
listen to us.
The strike comes two days before Ubers initial public stock
offering. The company says it expects to be valued at $91
billion $91
billion.
And what did they lose? What did they lose? Like they lose? 10?
I'll give you I'm gonna give her a quote. She says billions in
profits.
Where did I miss that? She said billions in profits
catch it. You gotta play it over
drivers from rideshare companies, Uber and Lyft
protested their pay in 10 major US cities today. They turned off
their smartphone apps, cutting their connections to would be
customers. Drivers argue that they are getting poverty wages,
but the companies they work for are earning billions in profits
billions in losses is the correct information.
No, she corrected this she correct the error.
Do I need to play it again? Because I don't think so. No,
you
don't need to play the game because she doesn't she's well,
I mean that democracy now also reported I little shorter clips
did Viola they brought in a bunch of guys that that did a
bunch of accounting. You know, I was making $1,000 a week and I
have to do this. I have to do that. And but their their take
on it was a little more progressive, to say the least in
labor
news, Uber and Lyft. Drivers are planning to strike today in over
a dozen cities ahead of Ubers debut on the New York Stock
Exchange. While Uber is expected to be valued as high as $90
billion. The drivers say they have not benefited from Uber
success, citing low earnings and no benefits.
It goes on with a bunch of complaints. But the point is, is
that again, as I said at the beginning, and the model of
Silicon Valley is to share the wealth unlike other parts of the
world that wonder why they can't make the Silicon Valley
operation work right? Because these people are too cheap. This
could have been prevented. This was never a Silicon Valley
operation. It came out of San Francisco by some douchebags.
And as you know, as a trick, you know, ride sharing, you know,
bullcrap it was just a scam. And so they never got to a clue
about sharing the wealth. If these drivers would have been
given just 100 shares a piece of stock. And there's Okay, so
there's 10s of 1000s of drivers. So what you the way it works,
you can just dilute it who cares? Exactly. Everybody gets
rich.
Just dilute them the hell out of it.
Dilute the hell, nobody notices. Yeah.
Well, I'm encouraged that they're turning off their
phones. I did want to just briefly before we go to our
break, I want to talk about the Google I O, which is their
developers conference. Did you see this keynote by any chance?
No, no, I been disinvited from this thing years ago. And I
don't pay much attention to it anymore.
It was a it was very interesting. And mainly, the
main thing that they're doing is they're moving a lot of their ml
AI, machine learning artificial intelligence onto the device
itself into Android, which makes total sense.
Because it says it doesn't work anyway. Well, they might as well
move it to the device, well, they
can't, they can't keep up with their data centers, everyone, if
you really want to track someone, it needs to all be done
on the on the device, they've made some, they say they made a
technological breakthrough, which is very basic artificial
intelligence with different stems as how it really decodes
human speech, natural language, that's that's what they were
showing most of. But to be able to store all that on your
device, and then report back in maybe even perfectly aggregated
statistics that are more useful to them makes total sense to me.
And they showed demos where the phone was doing things in, in
airplane mode. So no, absolutely no connection to the internet.
But, sadly, the entire Google vision, the way I from the demos
I saw on the way they spoke at the keynote, is really just
turning you into a little piece of stupid ass wetware. Some
examples? Now, and they're doing all these demos by just talking
to the phone in almost natural, you'd say, hey, Google ones, and
that you can talk to it the whole time and understands what
you're doing the show this demo, were like, Do this, do that?
What's going on here? Take a selfie. And it's it what do I do
all of these things very, very quickly, faster than of course,
you could ever use your fingers on the device. But here's the
great technological advances we will have with a new Google
artificial intelligence machine learning on your phone. Number
one, when you are at a restaurant, you can just point
your camera at your check. It will immediately and
automatically calculate the tip. And if you want even split the
bill. I mean, this is it. It goes right along with this
piece. They did have a woman in India, who can't read completely
illiterate. And she's not sad music or so. so horrible that I
can't read my children. Maria can't help them with homework.
They give her the Google phone. And she holds the phone up to
the homework and it starts speaking to her. And now she's
Oh, this is so great. Because now I can participate in
society. Not for a moment. Was there even an inkling of Oh, and
here's how you could learn to read now stay stupid, you Indian
stay stupid. Just listen to what Google tells you to do. Right
into showing the benefit of all of their mobile tracking.
Everything is taken care of for you. In fact, the way they do
maps I can predict for you right now map reading. In our
lifetime, John will become a university course. No one's
going to be ever using a map ever again, if Google gets their
way, there is one good thing that I was excited to see that
we they
interrupt you for just a second while you're on that just meant
Yeah, yeah, I have stopped using my navigators. Very good.
I've decided it's better for your brain. Sorry, it's better
for your brain, keep it in game better for your
brain. And so what I do is I get a map. And I see where I'm
going. I know that different places. Okay, well, I just have
to remove those two streets down, take a right and then I'll
find it on the left. And I do not use the navigator anymore. I
stopped using it. If I'm in if I'm like driving around Austin,
I have to get from here to there. I'll, I'll fire up the
Navigator. Right. But for local around town, people aren't going
to be able to get to the Safeway in their own city. If they keep
using these things, and people have them on going to the post
office. When these things off.
Yeah, what it's going to do. It's going to create a lot of
very lazy people and you become completely dependent speak of
dependency on technology. This just happened this morning. I
have a clip from the city of Baltimore. You know
what I can confirm is what we confirmed publicly yesterday
that we discovered some time early yesterday morning that the
city was infected with the very aggressive Robin Hood
ransomware. The FBI who is currently investigating this
certain incident, has confirmed that it's a fairly new variant
is quite aggressive. and technicians right now are
trained to remediate root cause, exactly, you know, what's been
impacted and affected, we can say with confidence that public
safety systems are up and operational three, one one's
operating, the city's phones are operating. And for now, if
anybody needs to contact the city, the best way to do is to
pick up the plain old telephone and give us a call. All of our
phones are working. And that's about the extent of what I can
comment on right now.
So ransomware, the people came into work, unplug your Ethernet,
everyone computers down, they're screwed. I mean, this is this is
our future, we've got some guy with something that works on
303 110 megahertz to some home security device. Whatever the
guy set up, it's the signal was continuous. So it blew out the
whole neighborhood, no one could open the garage doors. I mean,
Professor Ted would love this stuff, if he actually get this
information in real time. And it's affecting our entire life
sports sports. I didn't know. You could wake me up in the
middle of night. I wouldn't know anything about sports. But I can
tell you that I have a clip from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver,
about how social media and phones are affecting sports. I
think there's a few issues going on. One is a larger societal
issue. And I know you have a lot of young people work for you,
obviously, are our players. We're young, we have young
people in our office. I mean, I think we live a bit in the age
of anxiety. Yeah, I mean, I think it's, it's, it's, I've
read studies on this, I think part of it is a direct product
of social media. Yes. And I think those players were talking
about when I meet with them, what strikes me is that they are
truly unhappy. Yeah, this is not some like, you know, show
they're putting on for the media, when you get, you know,
you have relations, a lot of players when I'm one on one with
a lot of these guys. You know, I think, to the outside world,
they see the fame, the money, all the trappings that go with
it, they're the best in the world at what they do. You know,
they they say, How is it possible? Like they could even
be complaining, and I hear this on television all the time. Why
do these young men are genuinely unhappy if you're around a team
in this day and age, they're their headphones on, they're
isolated and their head down? Like as soon as it used to be? I
remember years ago, Isaiah Thomas said to me championships
are won on the bus. And he meant that and I disagree. One of the
comments from the earlier panelists was, oh, forget those
other five guys on the team. Those five guys on the team were
critically important, even if they hardly had any minutes old.
You know, you know, usually they were veteran players. They were
leaders who were able to take players aside in a way a coach
couldn't Yeah, you know, because they lived through it. It was
just something that a teammate could do that a coach couldn't
or certainly an owner or someone or an administrator in the team.
This is pretty sad.
Yeah, do you know what a star NBA player makes like a Steph
Curry on a yearly basis wants to get to their max contracts.
You're playing a basketball game and you're making
30 million a year 40,000 is close enough. Close that bastard
brother of mine. He lied to me. He said it was 30
Yeah, year after year you make it you know you get a 10 year
deal or a five year 40 million for you 40 million 40 million
you're miserable.
If anyone has a reason to be miserable, it's us.
Our poverty has always been something that makes you happy.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
okay, well we have a few people to thanks forever of the what

But we do have a few. It's always nice to see some people
participating.
Yeah, I think it's just Mother's Day is coming up. Yep. That's
gonna be another one was that Sunday? We're
going to do this for Sunday. Yeah. Sunday, Sunday. And of
course, Mother's Day not celebrated on the same day
everywhere. No celebrated as two different two different days on
different index And then the other thing
I want to mention that I would like to see some donated I
created an open ended donation you just put any amount in you

It's

much. I'm not really sure about that.
I think it's called mothering day. Couldn't be Well,
I have a
vaccination, vaccinated linked to autism to be vaccinated.
Vaccinations are highly effective results.
So following the measles scare, which is now global, is global
baby everybody's will freaked out about measles, Germany.
Apparently the Health Minister proposed so done. It's not law
yet but the Germany's Health Minister proposed a fine if you
are not vaccinated, that will be 2500 euro fine if you are not
vaccinated against measles, mumps, and rubella.
This what a great scam that is. Let's back up for one second.
Remember that until recently, nobody kept a papers that kept
the papers that they were vaccinated. They just got
vaccinated, or they got the measles, right. And they didn't
keep a careful record. So now you have to show your papers or
you have to pay $2,500 Fine.
Well, not yet. It's a proposal. It's not law yet but most people
aren't. Most people are on board. It is now also now. We've
spread to Australia. Australia hyping it up Australia on alert
after travel warning issued to us versus students diagnosed
with infectious disease measles. So it's if this truly was just a
Merck promotion, which by the way worked very well with their
sales and their and their quarterly numbers. We saw the
They crushed expectations, as we say in the business crushed. And
then it's surprising but everyone, everyone's all in ones
all in on the vaccinations except for Robert Kennedy Jr.
We've played many clips of him. He has, I would call him like
myself a semi Vaxxer of anti Vax, but we have to be careful
and ask questions. Nothing wrong with it.
Like I say anyone who says that I'm a even anything, they're
your viewers. So pro vaccine, always asked if they had their
HPV vaccination. Yeah, you should go get that right away,
by the way, look into it a little bit. But you'd have to
get it if you're that much of a Vaxxer.
And that's really what Kennedy Jr. Started with, I believe
around the HPV vaccine, but now his family is rather upset.
Robert Kennedy's three oldest children have stood together in
joy and last but now a disagreement over the measles
vaccine strains family times. In a column for Politico magazine
former congressman Joseph Kennedy the second Kathleen
Kennedy Townsend and her daughter Maeve Kennedy McCain
criticize RFK Jr's longtime anti Vaxxer efforts they write he has
helped spread.
know here that that report is just confusing, actually a neuro
linguistic program.
Let's hear it again. Criticize RFK Jr's longtime anti Vaxxer
efforts.
He's going around saying is that in other words, he's pro vaccine
strain anti
vaccine. I think you're hearing it rhymes.
In a column for Politico magazine former congressman
Joseph Kennedy the second Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and
her daughter made Kennedy McCain criticize RFK Jr's longtime anti
Vaxxer effort
it's his family who's criticizing not him. The family
is criticizing him of being an anti Vaxxer
you with me?
Yeah, but doesn't criticizing him for being an anti Vaxxer
Yeah. Okay.
What are they saying wrong?
Oh, the way it's the way it comes out. Is that criticizing
him for Okay, nevermind I just just a confusing way of
producing this clip I I'm backing away from the mic
and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and her daughter may have
Kennedy McCain criticize RFK Jr's longtime anti Vaxxer
efforts. They write he has helped spread dangerous
misinformation over social media and is complicit in so we
distrust of the science behind vaccines. Here is RFK Jr. in
Texas just last week on the measles. The thing that
curative. Nutrition and clean water is the vaccine we love
Bobby They write praising his efforts to protect the
environment. But they say on vaccines. He is wrong and his
opposition is having heartbreaking consequences. They
point to their families long history of promoting
immunization campaigns President John F. Kennedy personally
endorsing the polio vaccine in 1961. With this miraculous drug,
I hope that everyone takes advantage of it. The public
health works have their father and grandfather is Attorney
General and Senator Ted Kennedy. Bobby is an outlier in the
Kennedy family they write tonight Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
says I don't think we should be forcing pharmaceutical products
on unwilling American citizens without understanding the
downside risks. Risks the CDC and other medical organizations
say are well understood and do not outweigh the benefits of
vaccination.
My advice? Avoid small aircraft, hot tubs and canoeing in any
kind of water near Washington DC. They're out to get him his
own family now is out to get him.
So this I know.
I don't know either. Does. That sounds like he's out there out
to get him?
Vaccinations vaccinated, linked to autism to be vaccinated.
Vaccinations are highly effective
to get sick. She can pick reasons I wanted to mention
something from the OTG department.
Before you go there, I do have a drug related the clip Okay, I'm
sorry. Yeah, but I think it's gonna be absolutely profound. We
have there's a new drug. No, but do So I think is going to be
extremely profound if they if it's just gonna be profound. And
it's drug ads, they've changed the policy about a lot, how to
allow them. This is very interesting TV
ads for prescription drugs, we'll have to start showing list
prices of the medications. The US Department of Health and
Human Services announced the rule today. It affects drugs
that cost more than $35 for a month supply,
and we knew this was coming. How do you think that'll change
anything?
Well, when they started promoting some of these drugs
that are so expensive, I mean, even though you only copay,
maybe 10 bucks on these pills. If the list price is like
$1,000, you have to, hopefully, the public will start to realize
that this is a scam. Because you pay Yeah, you only pay 10 bucks,
because you got insurance. And the other guys who can't don't
have insurance, they find some way around the price too. But
when you're paying your 10 bucks and insurance companies paying
1000 bucks, and you wonder why your premium is $5,000 that, you
know, a quarter. Yeah, this is the reason.
Yeah. And I think part of the stipulation is they can't just
be in little disclaimer in the small type, it has to be a
certain size has to be in a certain certain part of the
school. But this is part of Trump's get the prices down
thing, which he's talking about again, and we'll see.
Well, there's other ways to get the price down, like letting the
American public order from Canada, which was a law that we
tried to pass and people such as Cory Booker pushed against it.
Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Cory Booker is one of the big he's in
the pocket of the drug companies. That's why he's
making no inroads on the contenders list.
Really, everybody? Do they? Do they donate to his campaign? Is
that do we have that
work? Yeah.
Yeah, just a little, a little OTG thing that I caught. And
yeah, besides the fact that Ubers can is now working with
law enforcement anywhere, they're happy to open up their
logs. So if, if you're accused of anything, Uber will, and will
give them all your information where you were. But this was
someone who was trying to send me an email, one of our
producers, and he and he's he uses Yahoo mail. And depending
on what he was sending, as far as I understand, regardless of
who he was sending it to, he would receive an error message
in his Yahoo moon that's a sending for sending from Yahoo
Mail error 554 message not allowed. And they have a web
page, which explains what this Yahoo error is. And this is
quite interesting. You will receive an SMTP that's Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol, that's the Internet email protocol, you
will receive an SMTP error or failed delivery message that
includes 554 message not allowed when the content of a message
you're trying to send violates Yahoo Mail policies. Content
that violates policies includes objectionable links malicious
attachments or bad header information. Well forget the
malicious attachments and bad header information objectionable
not dangerous malware, no objectionable links and then it
says review the
objectionable as an objectionable but not illegal,
correct, objectionable so that could and this person who emails
me, of course, emails me often with what someone could deem
objectionable content, you know, like, anti Vaxxer stuff. Or moon
landing, or I don't know, just stuff, but Yahoo is now actively
scanning the outgoing email for objectionable links and perhaps
other content issues and will not send your email I mean, does
this give anybody a clue of where it's all really headed?
Because you should understand Oh, there was this cool device
was that called the ledge the edge the box? Was it now
someone's home server thing that looks like someone finally got
it? Right. I'll find the information for the next show.
But you should really consider not using Yahoo or Gmail or even
outlook for that matter. outlook.com.
Get squirrel mail people.
Well, anything but that was pretty good. That meaning Yahoo
squirrel mail is great.
Yes. That's what I'm saying. It's great. Yes.
Now I have two clips left. Okay. Just updates world updates. We
start with the illegal surveillance clip from democracy
now.
Yeah, we can do that
one. And news from Washington tension continues to escalate
between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration.
The House Judiciary committee's preparing to vote today on
whether to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of
Congress for failing to provide lawmakers with an unredacted
copy of the Mueller report. The Justice Department's now
advising Trump to invoke executive privilege over the
entire unredacted report and underlying evidence. In related
news, the White House has directed former counsel Don
McGann not to comply with a congressional subpoena
legal surveillance,
I don't know, what's your clip?
I'll skip it. Let's go to the current Iranian Iranian
situation.
Ah, yes, I have something for that as well. Current Iranian
situation also Democracy Now this time.
Yeah. Iran's announced it'll stop complying with parts of the
landmark 2015 nuclear deal and resume high level enrichment of
uranium and 60 days if other signatories of the deal do not
take action to shield Iran's oil and banking sectors from US
sanctions. This comes a year after President Trump pulled out
of the nuclear deal. In his speech earlier today, Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani said Iran wants to stay in the
nuclear deal, but that its rolling back its commitments due
to Washington's actions. In the short term. Rouhani said Iran
would stop exporting excess uranium and heavy water from its
nuclear program. A more own rule
you say key about
the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action the JCPOA is here and
remains in place. But today we've shown the flip side of the
JCPOA coin. This is the same nuclear deal that stated the
other parties are failing to meet their obligations, then we
can also reduce our obligations in the deal. Today we are
announcing a reduction of our obligations under the deal. We
are not leaving the nuclear deal.
Russia responded by blaming the United States for provoking Iran
into rolling back the terms of the nuclear deal. The Iranian
American author Trita Parsi said quote, Trump has initiated a
chain reaction that will make America and the world less safe.
I got a clip to complement that from Bloomberg. This is Admiral
James struvite. Straw straw VITAS, he's the guy that I think
at one point was being vetted for a possible Hillary VP
nomination back in back in the day and he gives us a little
detail on exactly what this the Strikeforce is. And he would
know since he's an admiral
at Mr. VITAS, let us talk see power this morning. Translate
for our listeners what it means when the media says the Abraham
Lincoln deploys from Naval Station Norfolk, what actually
happens when something that big deploys.
So these are aircraft carriers, about 100,000 tons Tom Cruise
about 5000. They're surrounded by about 10 additional ships
with another 5000 sailors so figure, kind of eight to 10
ships as well as 10,000 sailors 70 combat aircraft, hundreds of
Tomahawk missiles, that entire consortium, if you will is
called a carrier strike group. That is what has deployed and
it's headed toward the Arabian Gulf.
They're headed there in all of us of a certain vintage,
including you out will remember the certitude of big fleets not
in World War Two. But if we just go to Argentina and the Falkland
Islands, there are threats out there. What are the threats to
the Abraham Lincoln? Or is this a junk at the show the flag.
This is a real threat to the strike group. As we look at a
rainy in capability in the Arabian Gulf where they're
headed. What the Iranians can do is launch cruise missiles from
the shore they say jet aircraft, they can use diesel submarines
to attack it. They have any number of ways they can attack
the strike group so tensions are rising. We ought to be quite
concerned
about it. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if we should be that
concerned.
I don't know. I don't know it should either. I'd like to wait
he specifically said instead of saying submarine diesel powered,
he said diesel some some commentary. I wonder
Yeah, that's an interesting point. You know, the Sir Sir rod
atomic rod might be able to tell us why that was a specific. I
guess they don't have they don't have the implication is they
don't they don't have nucleosomes. Yeah, yeah.
But what's the point of pointing at the pointing this out? Well,
I
Well, to point out that they're also horrible climate change
polluters. polluting the seas where they're damn diesel.
They're like the Volkswagen Of The Seas.
Yeah. All the implications are negative.
It's perfect for a false flag though. We love having having
shall blow up
nap near some predicted a false flag upcoming false flag for the
last month or two on the show. Yes. And
the reason why major false flag yes because Pompeo spoke behind
closed doors in Dallas to a number of prominent Iranians
Persians living in America. And he said, we're not gonna go
after him. No, no, no, we're not doing anything. We're hanging
back. We're good. We're not going to do anything. Not us.
We're not going to talk them. Nope, no, no, no, no. So you
position something out there and you know, it's a perfect setup
for something to happen. Yeah, disgusting. Bolton again is
Bolton Pompeo and Trump is asleep at the wheel when it
comes to this sleep. Maybe he thinks it's great. I don't know.
Maybe he's all in on this. I thought we were gonna do no
wars. Bring on Tulsi Gabbard.
That was the promise.
That was a promise, wasn't it?
I promise unkempt uncap unkept All right, I don't have any more
clips.
I think I'm done we could do anything else we need to talk
about got the green new
clip of, of Doug Collins, bitching and moaning to Nadler
now. No, I'm so sick and tired of that shit. Now, in fact, we
should just make a rule 15 minutes of the show should be
dedicated to this sideshow of bullshit. These these bullshit,
it's just horrible. It keeps the news business going. And I think
people are disinterested. I'm not interested anymore.
I'm still interested in send someone to check the amusing.
All right. Well,
I'm glad you do. Well.
I do. Do you one question. Do you think that AOC really
doesn't know what a garbage disposal is?
I get the sense that that was a hoax or a put on or there's
something fishy about that clip about AOC and her garbage
disposal.
Now. Now. The Garbage Disposals have been banned, where she has
lived for all of her life so that she may not have operated
one.
That's possible. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. It's like
remember, the President George HW Bush was like, stunned when
he went to a grocery store store and saw a scan, you know,
lasers. You could check out like that. That's crazy. Yeah, he
was. He was like naive about stuff. I mean, people don't know
certain things. I still remember my favorite clip from 60 minutes
when one of the famous tennis stars of the era was trying to
act like she knew her way around a kitchen and and then grabbed a
can opener for some dumb reason and then threw it down Chris
Everett, she she said, and she grabbed a cannon the can opener
just throws the can opener down all in a fluster and says, I
don't know how to operate something like this.
I know that. I think you tweeted the garbage disposals have been
banned in Berkeley for a long time. Yes, they have. Why are
garbage disposals banned? Are they what's the problem?
Well, apparently a grinding up stuff that goes into the sewage
treatment plant sometimes hurts the process of sewage treatment.
And it also encourages bad habits when you should be we
should be making compost piles of our garbage in the backyard
and letting the flies get in there and stink up the place.
huge piles of maggots crawling everywhere. I don't know I think
it's dumb. I to me, I've had garbage disposals all my life. I
love garbage disposals.
And what do you definitely not put down your garbage disposal?
Well, I have a Bone Crusher I have a garbage disposal. That's
quite good.
You don't have you've got you've got a medieval torture device.
I have a garbage Crusher that kicks butt. And so there's
pretty much anything anything go go in it I want to avoid to
avoid you know, metal. Well the troll room is this funny thing
when you're when metal goes in there and is grinding around. It
usually gets thrown out of the guards. This was excused.
So, the kitchen here's our troll room. Don't put children down
there. Don't put people as greasy obvious gold fingers
money. silverware. Oh, the Bone Crusher? Yes. And whereas Mimi
the final question. Yeah. She's down
with the baby. As a matter of fact, right downstairs.
Oh, Hi, Mimi. She doesn't listen.
No, she doesn't the J listens.
Alright, everybody. That is our deconstruction for today. We've
covered a lot of topics. We certainly hope you found it
valuable if you did. Let us know how valuable it was to you by
going to DeVore ak.org/na. After all, it's your time. It's your
show. You're the producer. It's all up to you. The
vortec.org/and A special thanks to Jesse Coyne Nelson, to Mad
Monk 13. And yeah, that's our end of show mixes. Remember, we
have another one coming up on Sunday not just show mixes but
an actual show and I'm coming to you from the frontier of austin
texas capital the drone Star State FEMA Region number six, no
your governmental maps in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's in the afternoon now
and is still cold. And Jhansi Dvorak,
we return on Sunday right here on no agenda. Until then, as
always adios mofos and such
this guy had almost two years to make a Big Rip. Oh, and when it
finally came in said, there was no Russian collusion. Report was
quite expensive, costing over 25 million so
Mueller arrived at the FBI just seven days before 911 President
Obama asked him to stay for two more years it required an act of
Congress.
Whoa, there was this girl who could go without saying Russia
or Putin and with this report, hey. She really no big thing.
She always just
Russia, Russia, Russia, Putin, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia,
Russia, Russia, Russia, Moscow,
Moscow, Russia, Putin, Putin, Putin, Putin, Putin, Russia,

20th century's great deeds begin
the conversation. Children in the United States of America.
children living in poverty do not have any Cicala that that's
true and often and the child even is abused. Not only
mentally and emotionally, but even physically. That's true.
The societal expectation is that we are to look the other way.
This is a horrific experience that that little boys happen.
When our culture begins to actually stand up for children,
that would be the time to begin a debate on abortion. And after
a while, it becomes unmanageable and everybody's afraid of them
and they back off and now the child lands into foster care
because the unwanted babies leads directly to a child in
foster care it's 80% of the children sold into sex slavery
come out of the foster care system through let's actually
start to examine intentions until we're caring for the
children properly once the children are being cared for
properly then we can talk about whether or not there's moral
high ground in the abortion that's true
don't need to know agenda they give assurance we kept her we
donate to and no agenda is the show that's really ut donate to
no agenda lists the John Adams be that old age with no agenda.
