tinfoil hat conspiracy theory and truther Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. It's Thursday April 21 2016. And time once again for
your Gitmo nation media assassination episode eight one.
This is no agenda,
barely keeping my head above water in the great state of
Texas and broadcasting live from the Capitol the drone Star state
here in FEMA Region six Austin J house in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we have no ambergris John
C. Dvorak. Greg Levin Buzzkill.
But you do have ambergris you just have to go to the to the
beach. Whales, whales puke everywhere, don't they
have sperm whales? No, it wasn't cough this stuff. Okay. Exactly
how New Zealand became kind of a trading centre.
You're starting up people have no idea what you're talking
about.
Somebody's found a big chunk of ambergris in England, and they
described it very carefully in in London or telegraph article.
I never heard a good description of it before. It's like a rock,
and the guy wants to sell it and he keeps mentioning New Zealand.
So I'm looking around us in New Zealand. What's New Zealand got
to do with this and it seems to be one of the places where the
world's traded open. There's a market and what do you do
with ambergris? Would
this be used in perfume somehow petrified
whale? Puke?
It's like a, it's like a gallstone. Okay, and I always
thought it was Harry.
Hey, wait. Hashtag fun fact. You go. Hi, John Claude, how you
doing in the morning to you?
In the morning to you and in the morning to Bernie Sanders, who
had been scammed.
Oh, what happened? Is this the voting thing? Yeah. Right. You
want to talk about it?
Well, it looks as if I mean, Hillary just beat him badly in
New York. Yeah. But the curious thing was all this the cities
that would have the voting machines, and then he would
think that could be rigged. Went to Hillary? Yeah. And then
Bernie got every the rest of the state every single county with
that with a maybe a couple of exceptions voted for him. And so
this article comes out and I think it was in one It wasn't
read it was in one of these news consolidators talking about how
the D bolt machines have were rigged in Chicago. Yeah. And
they had documented a election where Bernie had 150 7% of the
vote. And the machine came up with 47%. With Hillary winning
and these, particularly the D bolt or Diebold, I don't know
how it's pronounced. Those machines had been under a lot of
scrutiny for a long time. Also, the ownership of the company,
which I think goes back to Romney. There's a lot of stuff
that's electronic voting is not we can't even keep our bank
accounts secure. We can't keep anything secret. We the
government can't keep anything secure. We're gonna do online
voting bad. I
know, bad idea. Every time online voting comes up in the
conversation number might you bet he'll bitch about the Voting
Rights Act? Oh, yeah. We didn't reap you know, restate we
establish it. One of the things that was going on in the, I
guess it was in the salads after the Civil War, is that the votes
were stolen from the people. You take somebody say you're going
into vote? Yeah. Well, I'm voting for you and the guy when
there and he'll legally vote for the guy. Right. And that would
be how you get a lot of extra votes. Well, that had to be
stopped, and so was with a very various laws. Well, he gives his
asking for nothing but trouble.
But hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. This is not a real
election. This is would you be interested if you thought there
was some irregularity in the Boy Scouts of America? This is not
an election. There's no rules. There's no federal laws about
what happened in in Brooklyn or anywhere else in New York is no
law.
Brooklyn. Yeah,
there's no law. I
know. But there's there are laws that are passed to keep these
sorts of elections honest. No,
I'm sorry. I don't think there's any law for these sorts of
elections. I don't think so. There may be rules within the
Democratic Party.
Okay. You might be right on that. Because the national but
the national elections are what we're talking about in the end
of the day, you know what? Yeah, well, yes. That's the ones that
the laws were written. Yeah.
So if this both for you, yes. If this would happen during a
general election, then it would be a big deal.
Yeah. Yeah. But well, that's where I'm kind of getting around
to all right, because you brought up something had nothing
to do with the elections, which is online voting. And online
voting is I mean, if I was if the online voting came to be,
the first thing I would do, especially, you know, either
party, you would find out you just go from door to door with a
computer saying to you, did you vote? Yeah,
I disagree. I think it should not be on a computer ever. I'm
all for what they do in Afghanistan and other Middle
Eastern nations. You walk up, you get your finger dipped in
ink, you voted. It's much more sophisticated than our system.
Well does, when you get us then you have instead of having too
little I voted, but no, just
you just have to just have income hey how come on man,
we've been technology and computers for all our lives? No,
absolutely no.
You can have them. So many technologists are advocating it
constantly.
Because it just because they want jobs or they want to. It's
cool. I don't know that it's not logical thinking. It's just not
logical thinking. Well, look at this. Look at the cybersecurity
issues we're having our government who our guests with
the government be involved in running the general election,
somehow government officials has laws, etc. Now, I'm very much
against electronic voting. And not also not someone come by
with a laptop. No, because that's when it can get
compromised. It's so easy. I mean, relatively speaking.
You don't have to go by with a laptop. You just fake the end
results with the algorithm.
Do you want to play this? Do you have a clip for this
irregularity?
I have a bunch of clips I'm not sure if I have one actually. But
then let me Yeah, here it is. Voter and react says this. The
nobody really covered it very well as of democracy now, and
this is only a piece of what they said because they're all in
on burning, they thought he got ripped off.
There were also reports that polling stats were unable to
operate voting machines, gave out conflicting information and
erroneously directed voters to alternate sites
sounds like a legit system. New York City Mayor
Bill de Blasio issued a statement Tuesday decrying the
disenfranchisement writing, quote, It has been reported to
us from voters and voting rights monitors that the lists in
Brooklyn contain numerous errors, including the purging of
entire buildings and blocks of voters from the voting list.
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders expressed concerns about
New York's voting process late on Tuesday, after rival Hillary
Clinton won the state's primary.
What exactly did he just say that happened? Where the did the
people never what did they vote for their fair favourite
candidate, but it didn't happen or it got deleted? Or Is that Is
that clear at all? What exactly happened to they just say the
block was deleted, and it was
a series of events 150,000 People were disenfranchised.
They weren't on the list anymore to vote. And it was random.
Okay. There
was a Democrat, you have to be a registered Democrat in order to
vote.
Yeah. And they, they were they were registered Democrats. And
then they went there was no, no, you're not on your get out.
Okay. I gotcha. Yeah, that one was all the voting place was
wasn't working. And they said, No, you go over here. And then
you go over there. No, you're not supposed to be here. And
they get to run.
These were, of course, all Bernie supporters. Yeah. Well,
of course, it's
possible to tell but it was probably Bernie supporters, as
Bernie, you know, is beating Hillary when they really have an
honest, honest thing going back and forth. And Hillary's got
into as a senator twice, so she had the term and a half or
something. And she, you know, they have, York's got an A
machine, and she's still part of it, I guess, go in there and
exploit the machine. You know, these votes. I think it's
probably how she got it in the first place whose day
after arrival, Hillary Clinton won the state's primary.
While I congratulate Secretary Clinton, I must say that I am
really concerned about the conduct of the voting process in
New York State. And I hope that that process will change in the
future. And I'm not alone about my concerns. The Comptroller of
the city of New York talk today about voter irregularities, and
about chaos at the polling places.
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer said his office had
received reports of polling stations that failed to open on
time and poll workers who were unable to tell voters when they
would be operational, stirring or ordered an audit of New
York's election authorities citing deep concern over
widespread reports of poll site problems and irregularities.
And again, this is not an actual federal or or election that is
regulated by any laws, as is pointed out by Republican Party
insider Tom Ridge, who was it? He I think it was the Homeland
Security Homeland Security for W Bush, right. Yeah. So he's a
he's an insider and he was questioned, I think on CNBC,
about, you know how this process works and that Trump is saying
it's a scam. It's a no, he's saying something more egregious.
He's saying it's always rigged. It's rigged. And of course, he
you know, Trump knows exactly what's going on. He knows the
rules of the Republican primary.
It stopped for a second and consider what Bernie had to say.
I mean, this was the most milquetoast response to this
that I could imagine. Yeah. Oh, It doesn't happen again.
And will maybe he's not convinced that there was any
Hanky Panky going on other than people were disenfranchised
because they couldn't vote in their little club meeting. And
of course, the Republican nomination process is also a
little club. But at the end of this, this clip here, there's a
kicker, where the Tom Ridge kind of just explains what it
is listen to, I mean, people at home just heard what you said.
And you essentially said, it doesn't matter who is one,
these, these primary contests only. It only matters if you can
get the delegates on the the fourth, third or fourth ballot
to vote
for you. But that's that's been the process for decades and
decades. The Donald likes to talk a lot about the rules. I
mean, I think he does, there ought to be a sequel to long and
winding road. It's a long and winding road when I look to him,
but the rules were rules where I can go bankrupt
as nothing like a Beatles reference in 2016. Is that good
work, sir.
But I have no obligation to repay some of the people that
suffered when I went bankrupt what the rules are, they have to
vote for me on the first ballot. But philosophically,
politically, and personally, there may be some people in
these states who are obliged to vote for him on the first
ballot, but they're no longer gonna be a very interesting
process.
Why even have primary contests then you just wasted the voters
time. A bunch of delegates that are packed behind the curtain
and have them go to claim
you're starting to sound like Donald processes the process he
doesn't like when he wins, he's happy when he loses. He's not so
happy. The game has been playing for a long, long time.
It's a game. This is the way the game has been playing. This is a
game. It's not an election. It's a game before
when I was a young kid, they before they they modernised the
game, with the old fashioned version was the smoke filled
rooms.
But what you but what we just went through a moment ago, is
part of the problem if I don't know if we're not going to make
any difference. But the American people you know, when you just
say it would when they understand that this is not an
actual election. You're electing somebody but this process is
it's a big charade. It's a game, it's ratings, it's money. It's
PR, it's marketing. And people really believe it. This idea
even propagated by us sometimes without stopping and saying no,
it's not an actual election. There are no laws over it. You
propagate the idea of a two party system. And that's the
plan. That's the whole idea. The whole idea is to keep two
parties run by the same people with stupid game
that they play go back and forth to
now of course, course course.
So it looks like my wife's gonna run for county commissioner. Oh.
Oh, that's nice.
Well, she hasn't decided yet.
But did she already run for something? Or is this what
she's, she ran
for the City Council. Okay, how that works is she didn't she
lost? Okay. But but she didn't lose anyone she didn't like. So
she's at she's been, you know, she's been hanging in there with
the local politics. And now she's moving to the next level.
I
can't wait to find clips from her. So we can scoff at her.
I'll be great.
She's pretty, pretty good. She's good. I think he's a natural.
Well, if she's good, then we won't scoff. But
is it natural? We
have no agenda when it comes to politicians? Yeah, well. I saw
the on primary night, just flipping through all the
channels seeing what they were doing. And of course, because
you have no data, that is not an official election until the they
start counting these votes and start reporting. They do exit
polls and exit polls are in this case, I doesn't seem like they
even asked anyone who they were voting for. They asked other
questions. And CNN did a survey that they only did for
Republicans regarding Trump. They didn't do it for Hillary or
the Democrats at large only for Republicans, specifically Trump,
and they asked people if Trump becomes the nominee and the
president, are you somewhat scared? Scared? That this, these
levels of how frightened you will be as a Republican if
Donald Trump becomes the nominee? And does Wait, he
didn't sweat it? You mean they didn't go to the as the what's
it called again? When you're asked questions after they
voted? You just said it a second go with it. What is it called?
The poll, the poll, the exit poll,
exit poll, exit poll. So the exit poll they didn't say they
didn't come with the guys and say so you you're going to be a
little happy. Real happy. No,
there was no handwired happy No, it
was not happy. No, it
was no it was like anxious. unsettled, Alyssa and that's in
a state danobat
was They ask if you're going to be happy, real happy, somewhat
happy.
Because it's CNN. And they're, they're against Trump. Just Just
a thought.
And that's in a state Danna bash a state that he is winning and
dominating in more than a third of the Republican voters in New
York, either concerned or scared about the idea
of a Trump of a President Trump. Yeah. And
whenever we see that word scared, and it's even close to
22%, which it has been in some other states, even those one,
it's kind of remarkable to see that. I mean, that is a very
aggressive, passionate response to somebody who is a potential
nominee of your party, especially in a place like New
York, where it was a closed primary meaning only in New
York, only Republicans rather, could vote in it.
Yes. very worrisome
to everybody in the business, just the average person on the
street and said, any question or any person who said are you
going to be scared somewhat scared or not scared of this
person? You're gonna get 22% Yeah,
that's that's low, but it was only it was Republican voters
only it was not for anyone. So Democrats,
you're still gonna always get that? These wild questions and
there's always the, you know, there's a range of answers and
there's always one out of you know what, this is two out of 10
people that are gonna say, yeah, probably be scared. And I know.
The point is, it's propaganda. It's anti Trump propaganda.
The points made is CNN hates Trump. Yeah,
like this morning where
it is Mr. Trump will try little discipline with his language. He
will deliver a foreign policy speech next Wednesday, and the
Wall Street Journal reports he will use a teleprompter and also
someone will write the speech for him or at least help him
know.
How could that ever happen? That
speech will use a speech writer with me now John Avlon, editor
in chief at The Daily Beast and CNN political analysts. Good
morning, John. So Trump's use of a teleprompter would not be
unprecedented, but it would be a departure for Mr. Trump. Listen,
I don't have teleprompters. Write. I've always said if you
run for president, you shouldn't be allowed to use teleprompters.
You shouldn't be allowed. I don't do the teleprompter thing.
I have to teleprompters. I watch Hillary the other day. She is
the biggest teleprompter I've ever sit back. If you're sitting
on that side of the room, or that side of the room, you can't
even see him. Okay?
The whole morning ever after every clip of Trump, she's
funny you have to but he's gonna use a teleprompter to deliver
these major policy speeches. So he's changed his mind clearly.
Why?
Well, because you can't celebrity demagogue your way
through a
policy goods term. I like it. You can't celebrity demagogue
your way through. That's that was that a verb? It's a verb.
Yeah, you can make it a verb
celebrity demagogue like that.
Hi. Well, because you can't celebrity demagogue your way
through policy speech. I mean, you know, you just can't say
whatever comes to your mind and delight the crowd if you're
actually proposing policy to implement as president. So it's
a change he's got to make, but you know, our spray tan friend
from Fifth Avenue, I think realise
the callousness our spray tan friend from Fifth Avenue.
Oh, my God, it's really bigoted group. You know, I
say one thing about anything, I get the wrath of hell, but it's
okay to say they are spray tan friend from Fifth Avenue.
Avenue, I think realises he's got to up his game and become
more professional if he actually wants to get this nomination
done, and have a shot at being the next president.
Yeah. Oh, gee, surprise, surprise, Peter King who often
listened to on this programme with some chagrin because he's
in a hole. And I believe he is on the Homeland Security
Committee.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That or this, or this? No, I think is the
other one is the CIA group, whatever it's called. Isn't that
homeland security,
intelligence. Intelligence. Yeah.
I'm looking at demagogue and I'm not saying that you can verb
make it a verb? Oh, we can do it. Well, no, he did it.
Peter King, his problem is Ted Cruz. He
I get reelected. Money,
money. Especially Money, money, money brings voting machines and
money. Next question. He has a hard on for like a, like a he
hates Ted Cruz. So much. So in fact, here's actually a quote
from Congressman King
about Ted Cruz. Any New Yorker even thinks of voting for Ted
Cruz should have their head examined. This a little turn
about what happens tonight on the Republican side. How big
does Donald Trump win? First of all, in case anybody asks me
Jews I am not endorsing I think I'll take cyanide if he ever got
the nomination.
Good. We'll be waiting. No, I want Ted Cruz to win. Just to
get Peter King to take cyanide
blots of spokesman likes to say Trump was is he always willing
to move to Canada?
Yeah, the leaving the country. That's right. Moving. leaving
the country. Oh yeah. I'm going to remind several people that
they need to leave the country.
If you keep your list handy.
Okay, not not room will say. Lots of spokes holes everywhere.
For both candidates in New York. It was it was interesting just
to watch all the back and forth got a little heated. And this is
spokes hold for Sanders. No. Miki const. And I went and
she's, she's arguing with some guy who's a What's your name?
const. k o n s t? No, no, Mickey and Oh, mi ke I know, Mickey
const. But I had a nice little rundown of of Hillary's crimes.
I liked it.
You know, and yeah, well, it was legal, but you're not checking
is how they're funnelling the money. So Hillary Victory Fund
is buying ads on Facebook trying to target donations that go back
into the Hillary for America Fund. Brad your partner,
correct. The record track record receives money from Super PACs
record record, then gives money to the DNC, the DNC then gives
money to the general fund. We know how this works is called a
flow of money. And you have the best lawyers in the world. By
the way, your lawyer, Hillary for America's lawyers are the
same words for the DNC, that should be shady in itself. You
know, there's a lot of proof here that yes, it might be
legal, but Hillary has the best lawyers. Now aside from that,
aside from that, she's trying to win publicans table, this is a
competitive primary, competitive primary. Hang on a second, Brad,
you know, all you have to do on the Hillary side is reached the
2383 number. That's what you have to do. And right now at
this pace with the margins, the difference in the margins of
pledged delegates, Hillary Clinton at this rate will not
reach that 23 That is blatantly untrue.
I like how the money flows what you call it the flow of money. I
like that. I didn't know how just sounds
like she's on speed balls.
Well, with Hillary's not on speed ball, she had another fit.
And and everyone say, Oh, she still has it was from allergies.
It was, you know, it's allergy season, but
when you listen to it allergy season? Well, I
mean, well, it is important when you listen to this poor woman,
someone needs to take her out of this race. This is a radio
interview.
There's always the threat of sexism and unfair treatment. But
you've got to learn to deal with it, which I have on earth.
You know, she has her hand John, on her chest. When when when
she's talking and she can't she can't speak it's like she can't
breathe. He's trying to suck it you have to watch this video.
It's it's sad. Like he's got
emphysema, ladies
system and unfair treatment. But you've got to learn to deal with
it, which I have over the years. And my voice is failing here.
But just quickly say I went to Beijing in 1995 and said women's
rights or human rights and
go to Beijing. It's not sad, though, isn't sad. That woman
can't hold on pushing that
message ever since the Secretary of State I went to 112
countries. And I can I can tell you I raised women's issues the
oppression of women. Everywhere I went,
yeah. Well, she needs to rest. That is when you can't breathe
like that. You can't speak this is not good. She needs
definitely a little bit of arrest. Well, I
thought it was you know, that clipped out which was sent to
us. I was I was under the impression that she had her
coughing getting a coughing fit, but I didn't find it in there.
No, it
wasn't a coughing fit. It was That's why I thought it was
actually interesting. It's not a coughing fit. It's the it's the
complete constriction of of oxygen. I don't know what's
going on. But isn't that is not the chat room all says coke
throat but I don't think so. our chat room, obviously has a lot
of
it's not like there wasn't rumours of Bill being uh oh, I
certainly have a bulkhead in this bin. She would follow suit.
It's the chatroom may actually be onto something.
Could be. And I have to say though, Hillary Clinton, in some
ways could be your candidate. Mine. Yeah. She has one of your
biggest issues on her agenda.
Okay. It can
take nearly as long I want you to hear this because I was
shocked when I learned it. It can take nearly as long for a
freight train to cross the city of Chicago as it takes to get to
Chicago
from a factory on the West Coast.
These delays raise the price of everything from food to
furniture. potholes and traffic jams cost commuters an average
of $1,500 a year in maintenance and fuel.
There you go potholes potholes. Oh that somebody picked it up
yeah I think she knows she might be the candidate for you know,
I'm thinking what happened is that this is what happens with
the pothole Really it comes to you as a assesses like a light
in the sky. You're driving along and you hit a one of those axle
busting potholes. And it just shakes the car and you think
you're the car is ruined. And then you find out you okay? Oh
man, it didn't ruin the car. But that happens way too often. It
happened to her obviously in her limo.
And yeah, 50 100 bucks in in a limo for an axle. Yeah,
possible. That's how she came up with another thing. She was
driving back from Oakland. The limo hit a pothole.
Oh guys, potholes. Every place but Alabama. Oh, really? Well,
Chicago, Chicago.
Texas doesn't have any potholes on the highways? Certainly not.
Oh, that's good. Yeah, we have grinds. I like our roads. Most
people think that shit.
Well, most people don't like him because they're clogged so
often. Yeah, correct. Every time I go to Texas, I've always get
stuck in one of these traffic jams are terrible.
Well, you definitely don't want to come right now.
What's going on now? People are
dying again. Is flooding everywhere. Mainly Houston.
Mainly not
Houston. Austin. No, no, but it's very wet.
That's for sure. All right, I got the arrow bed. It's already
inflated. So if it gets up to the to my floor, then I'll just
float out.
60th floor so
yeah. In the skyscraper correct in
the skyscraper. overlooking an alley. showed us the video.
There's an alley right outside your
window. There is an alley? That's correct. Yeah.
The view you get for being a podcaster.
So I was trolling the face bags as I do. Looking for idiots. And
Mollywood popped up. And I haven't really spoken to Molly
for for a long time. Because you know, after the divorce did the
show anyway. But after the divorce, you know, she was teen
Mickey. So I didn't know you had to have a team but okay, fine.
And she posted this video
of Trudeau team Mickey. Yeah, she posted
this video of both Trudeau the prime minister of Scandinavia.
And if you haven't seen it, John, it's about him explaining
quantum computing.
Yeah, this was always most people believe this was rigged
this question and answer was both staged?
Well, that's exactly what I was going to show. But what was
egregious, is Mollywood and other NPR women going? Oh,
swoon. He's so cool. Oh, yeah. Oh, give what he does that boom,
Mic drop. Are you women idiots. This was a set up the guy is
there at a at a computing centre to give 50 million to the
computing Centre for quantum computing. Yes. And he even said
that no one watched the whole speech, of course. But here's
what he said earlier
of science. So you don't have to be a geek like me to appreciate
how important this work is. Although I have to tell you when
we get to the immediate questions later, I'm really
hoping people ask me how quantum computing works because I was
excited to deepen my knowledge about this learning.
So what he said is exactly what happened that morning. He had
taken the tour, he got a one minute explanation that he
memorised he did very well. In fact, the journalist wanted it
no one asked him a serious question instead of what the
Prime Minister asked him to do once the
knowledge could be explained quantum computing, but when do
you expect Canada's ISIL mission to begin again?
So he's asking about terrorism and important questions. I was
gonna ask you are going to be doing are we not doing anything
in the interim? While we prepare?
Okay. Very simply, normal computers work.
And everybody buys it, including three or four people who work
for NPR who were glad to post this on and work for my money
show on NPR. flabbergasting was
I'm glad you got this because I was I didn't have any any
inkling that anyone didn't know this wasn't a setup. Oh
my god and then and then to boot. I said, Would it be okay
if I posted on Facebook? Oh, swoon, she's so hot. Would that
mean okay, would you've been up my ass?
What do you think?
She said, Thank you for pointing out my ongoing hypocrisy. Okay,
fair enough.
Fair answer.
Yeah, that was a good answer. Yeah. But still,
it's an you know, it's
pathetic. It's what you're trying
to say. What's pathetic is that the media bought into this a
serious question was not answered. And it was a setup. It
was a setup. And the guy is like Obama, he's doing this. It's the
same playbook. It's the same. And even he even says, I'm a
geek. Okay. Maybe he is I don't know. But it was irksome. So
it's kind
of geeky. Doesn't
matter that. I don't care otherwise. But we deconstruct
media. And here's the media all in such an easy one. Oh, he's so
cool headline. is not okay.
Well, I can tell that you didn't care much for it. Well,
it was more the mainstream media response. propagating that on,
but they're propagating him. Yeah. That guy is a goofball. I
mean, I've been used to take some look at his photo stream of
the stuff. He takes pictures of himself, and selfies and he's
all over the place. He's a goofball. I don't know how the
Canadians I mean, this is the same. This is the mistake of Rob
what's his name? The Toronto guy who just died recently? Rob
Ford. Rob Ford, the mayor, this is I don't know what Toronto but
Canada, the Canadians are voting these clowns in
instead of swooning over your Prime Minister, then get letting
him get away with, you know, funny, cute PR? Why didn't you
ask them about your Canadian dollar? What's up with that
people in Canada
or something collapsing? This is? It's, it's horrible. What
does it add today? Hold on a second book of knowledge. What
is the current exchange rate of the Canadian dollar?
$1 is worth one Canadian dollar and 26 cents
on 26.
To 120, so it's 26. It was a head of us during but just
within a few years ago. Yeah. And now it's ominous was 26%
lower in value than the dollar. So you go so if you go to
Canada, which is the time to go, now is the time to go. Yeah. At
the various stores there. They get a lot of nice. malls. And
yeah, buy stuff.
So that's, that's, that's what you should be asking your Prime
Minister about?
Yeah, just a thought.
Huh. Okay, where do you want to go?
Also, do you want to? You know, you just dherbs me that. This
has been brought this first came to mind during the first Bush.
Now, the first book was, yeah, was the first Bush who had was
the blood guy who became the head of the vice president of GW
Bush, the blood guy. Yeah, wasn't he? Yeah. The blood guy
was the blood guy has asked him for the book and who the who the
vice president for GW Bush was? Oh, Cheney. No, no, no, that's
George Bush. HW Bush HW.
Yeah, it was.
The blood the blood guy
was was the Voiceprint quail, quail, quail, quail
got it? So they ran the campaign I'm doff today apparently, they
ran a campaign. And they chose Quayle who's who just was a I've
heard from people that actually know him. So he's quite
intelligent.
He's He's also running the one of the largest companies in you
know, financial firms in the world. But yeah,
but he was a goofball. And, as the Vice President said stupid
things and he was just crazy. He was a little
uncoordinated. And
but when I was listening to the analysis of why they chose him
in the first place, it was all because he's a good looking man.
And that's what women vote for. Possibly, an ice. Well, what do
you just talked about, isn't it? Yes, yeah. It wishes that How
about this start talking seriously about removing the
women's right to vote? Maybe that would be a good thought and
use that as evidence. Just saying because there's a lot of
talk about new the new dollar bill or the new
Oh, yeah, this is the it
was gonna have a bunch of suffragettes on it and then they
finally came up with this with Tom Harriet Tubman. Yeah. Now
Harry
area doesn't Harriet.
Harriet Tubman. I never heard of it. And I took history cow. I
never heard of Harriet Tubman during my entire season. I
studied the Civil War mostly real Lay. Yeah, it's
how could you not I first heard of Harriet
Tubman about 20 years ago. And it was while watching Jay Leno
Show where he used to do jaywalking and he would stick a
mic in people's face and ask him questions that were, that should
have been easily answered. And one of them was who freed the
slaves? And his woman, I think, I don't know as a black or white
girl, she said, Harriet Tubman. And I said to myself with a
Harriet Tubman How did she free the slaves? You know, to Harriet
Tubman, you know, freed a few slaves.
Oh, that's, that's not what the what's being written today about
or it's being written that she was the most successful
conductor on the Underground Railroad?
Yeah, well, she may have been, but I never heard of her. And so
I had to look her up. And it was like, oh, Harriet Tubman was she
didn't read his latest book, but she was an important character
in the Underground Railroad thing. And yeah, so then they
had to come up with a picture. And now all the pictures ever
usually have her with a horrible grimace on her face. And so some
of these like, Holy crap you when you get your 20s out of the
cache, but I also saw I saw this morning that the five and the 10
will have women,
suffragettes mostly. Yeah, on the back of the of the bills.
Yeah, they're gonna put women all over these bills. Now.
It's the 20 with Harriet Tubman on the 20. Does that mean it's
only worth $17?
Yes, exactly. And, and that joke, by the way, has been going
around well, I hadn't heard it yet. You have to get closer to
the, to the right number. People have been saying 12 No, no, it's
17. Now. So they found a pretty good picture of Harriet Tubman,
and I put it in the newsletter. And of course, I couldn't resist
because she looks like a metrosexual in that picture, if
there ever was one back in the 1800s, like a black Chris Hayes.
And but this whole thing with the with the women throwing
their weight around in the war against men, seems to me to end
counter to that, of course, is to deny them the right to vote,
but which, with all the cisgender and everything else,
you're never going to make that work, because you can't figure
out who's what, unless they have to strip at the polling place.
That'd be kind of interesting. But there's this war against men
is cropping up. And I think this whole thing was not necessarily
Harriet Tubman who probably shouldn't be recognised. But
with all these extra women, they're going to throw on the
back of the bill and all sorts of just gratuitous ly. Yeah.
It's just seems to me to be some sort of a slight what I
thought was interesting is, you know, they're always talking
about the $10. Bill first, which would have been Hamilton
reporting is that to Jack Lew didn't want to change that
because of the success of the musical Hamilton.
I believe that to be true. In fact, they have a clip that kind
of backs that up. Nice, which is idiotic if you think about it,
but whereas this clip, this would be
Yeah, when I think about it, yeah, it's pretty darn Crazy,
right?
Hit the Tubman clip. Maybe that'll do it. Okay. All right.
Next from Washington tonight, the debate is over Alexander
Hamilton will be spared. The hit Broadway show probably helped to
save his place where you go dollar bill Tatius by Paul's to
replace him with a woman. And tonight a woman will be on
America's money. The abolitionist Harriet Tubman and
she gets the 20 here's ABCs Mary Bruce.
For generations, this has been the face of the $20 bill, but
tonight, a major facelift, the Treasury announcing Harriet
Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson, the former slave taking
the spot of the slave owning president. A woman was expected
to replace Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill. But then this
happened fishing the wheat in the passion and smashing the
smash success of Broadway's Hamilton sparked a wave of
popularity for the nation's first Treasury Secretary, the
show's creator, even lobbying the current Treasury Secretary
during the recent visit, we asked the Secretary about his
controversial decision. Did you ever expect a Broadway show to
impact the plans of the US Treasury?
If you look at what the show has done? It is very complementary
to what we're doing in this whole undertaking, brought
history back into common conversation.
Tubman is an American hero escaping slavery and risking her
life helping countless escape through the Underground
Railroad. And she isn't the only woman we'll see. Take a look at
what the other bills could look like the back of the 10 will
honour female leaders of the suffrage movement while the back
of the five will highlight historic events at the Lincoln
Memorial.
Of course, this is really all just set dressing and making
money look pretty because these dollar $20 bills and the 10 and
the five they're just going to be a collector's items like the
Franklin Mint, is that you don't use money. This is if anything
it's kind of laughable and I'm sure people at the at the
Treasury are laughing lady stupid for was arguing about
money they don't even have in their pocket book anymore. It's
all digital. But what will happen guaranteed visa will come
out with the Tubman Visa card. Oh yeah guarantee that's common
but then
the book Oh yeah, it's all gonna be so Tubman Visa card.
It's gonna be Yeah, everyone will be taking the suffragettes
and Tubman and using it for digital cash. Because that is
that's the joke of
it. We're alive today they'd be swooning over Pierre Trudeau
it's
it's, it's a good little sleight of hand like hey, look at the
argue about the money you don't even use argue about the money
you don't have in your pocket.
I thought it was interesting that the network's caught on to
the Hamilton that the play? Well, I think
Jack Lew might have said something about that. Or
Treasury Secretary, he might have mentioned
it. But he mentioned in that piece. Now that he talked about
it. Oh, there you go. Now the irony to the whole thing, of
course, is Andrew Jackson. was we just I think most people know
this, but that listen to this show, but Andrew Jackson was the
I think it's the seventh president. He was dead set
against Central Banking.
Yeah, that's right. It was the
Federal Reserve Note. Kind of an embarrassment.
Yeah. Yeah. He had to go. He had to kind of get off. Yeah. And I
think that's better than Hamilton. Yeah, Hamilton
was all for it. Yeah.
So Jackson just nearby. Finally, we got rid of that a hole
against our system. Yeah, that's exactly right. Exactly. Right.
Um, like to Harriet Tubman Visa card. One of these guys. Either
MasterCard or Visa Winston should immediately or even
American Express should immediately start promoting this
great idea. This is one of those
great idea. It's my once in a decade idea.
No, it's It's one of those meeting ideas where if you're if
you're working for the company, you come up with that idea. You
get a bonus. I would
get an Attaboy. Well, that's what they call it an attaboy,
attaboy.
Yeah, you can just wait for it. Meanwhile, very underreported,
although it was certainly reported. Wow. I mean, like wow,
UnitedHealth Group making good on a threat to pull out of
Obamacare. The nation's largest health insurance provider
announced Tuesday, that as of next year, it will no longer
participate in President Obama's signature health care exchange.
Okay.
I didn't know that. That was part of the deal. I mean,
American citizens can pull out of the Obamacare deal you get
the insurance companies are allowed to pull out of the deal.
I heard the story. I didn't fully understand it. I thought
they were just going to pull out of a few states and maybe
maintain themselves someplace. I have no idea
I have. Well, this story is a pretty good explanation of it.
But it is appalling to me that it is first of all not being
reported widely. Well widely. It's not it's not being reported
widely think CBS had a report ABC and NBC didn't do it the
same night. In a three by three analysis. Here's what's going
on. Oops. Here's what's going on.
The reason. Good old fashioned math, says Reuters health and
pharmaceutical correspondent, Caroline humour.
They're losing money on Obamacare and they have been for
a while and they basically say they can't make money in this
business.
United Health will stop providing coverage in most
states, leaving nearly 800,000 people scrambling to find
another way to pay medical bills. But you're not.
I love that legit. slip that in there. No, it's not a way to pay
the medical bills as a way to get insurance for your medical
bills is not the same scrambling
to find another way to pay medical bills. But UnitedHealth
swoons are largely self inflicted, rather than
indicating a problem with Obamacare, the way Obamacare
is set up, you do better if you have more customers, the more
customers you have, the less risk you have, the better you
do.
This is not entirely true. The way Obamacare was supposed to
work is premiums would change for the people who already had
insurance and that would go to subsidise the people who are now
going to receive Obamacare insurance from the government.
So United Health thought they were gonna get a lot of
customers they thought that they could manage the costs and the
risks around all those customers. But they priced high
and when you price too high, you don't get the customers now let
me say something UnitedHealth is an insurance company. All the
it's a bank. All the insurance companies do is manage risk all
the time. So you're going to tell me that the one of the
largest insurers did not foresee the risk. I'm just I'm just not
going to buy that. That's all they do all day, all day.
All those customers, but they priced high. And when you price
too high, you don't get the customers, which suggests
the competitive nature of the exchanges are actually working
like they were designed to now this
is very funny. So now the spin on this is Oh, well done. So
it's the free market. There's only three companies that really
ensure everybody. So that's free market. Hmm. Okay,
a big percentage of the nearly 13 million Americans using
Obamacare with other cheaper insurers, those who are now
being dropped by UnitedHealth. can sign up with another
Obamacare insurer willing to take them on?
willing to take them on? Is it going to be a problem? I don't
know. But this This, to me, it sounds like the insurance
companies made their money and they're out.
It's that simple thing that might be more that might be an
accurate analysis. I'm just looking at their stats right
here. United Healthcare, and had a gross profit over the last 12
months of Let me guess, let me guess. How much
okay, go ahead.
No, I guess,
a 12 month profit. I think I heard you say the 15 or 50. So
I'm biassed? Yeah. 53 $53 billion. Profit, net profit. Net
Profit. Yeah.
Oh, that's gross profit. Okay. Revenue is on revenue of 157
billion.
Now that's 30% of the bottom line or to the gross the gross
and that's not bad.
That's that I wouldn't mind being in that business. Get to a
billion in cash and the bank is no really this whole thing is
something I think you're right. Something's fishy about this.
They took they took the province and just closed it said, you
know, and it may be aggravating. Maybe she's writing on the wall
that something's going to change in the future. They want to get
involved I don't know.
And mind you the insurance companies wrote this
legislation. They wrote it
something very, this is very this way didn't follow up on it
because I knew it'd be a rabbit hole and it's going to be
something very well I've got I've got my nets and my hook
sock is selling for 133 a share. You know, it's got a net worth
of $146 billion enterprise value is more than the market cap and
it's outrageous. So enterprise value is more than the market
caps that we said
yeah, that means they owe money right?
Or they could be undervalued
no enterprise value is a is a just a calculation based on
market cap minus that
well, it could also just be you know, they've been threatening
this so maybe they just finally said you know who the president
is busy he's got a lot of stuff coming down in particular this
28 pages which I would like to talk after I say in the morning

A and between now and Sunday, you can always go out there and
do the important work of propagating our formula. Our
formula is this. We go out we get people in the mouth Hey
citizen, shot us
Hey, very nice.
Yeah, the 28 pages is it's all over the place now, thanks to a
bill that has been introduced, known as the Justice Against
Terrorism Act. And this is this is obviously the reason why
President Obama hurried off to Saudi Arabia to have a
meeting. I'll stop you right there. All right. Can you find
me a clip where if anyone has said that, or anyone has said
what, this is the reason you went to Saudi Arabia? Absolutely
not. It's because I can't find a clip. I've got clips that I got
two or three clips of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Arabia trip
and the message you get is they snubbed him.
Yeah, they freeloaders. free riders was his exact quote.
Yeah, for free, right. Which is pretty much the Trump talking
point. Interestingly enough. I have I have a number of clips.
Because this, this ties into the 28 pages of the nine 911
Commission Report, which we are waiting, waiting for these to be
released. Actually, you know what I have, I have a clip from
former New York City Deputy Fire Chief who lost his son in 911.
And who was active, he's one of the first responders and he was
on with Don Lemon and lemon has this late night talk show or
later night talk show, which is not even on all the time because
of the elections. But when you catch it, it's either funny
because lemon is just such a moron. Sometimes he has good
guests on and this is a little long, but it really walks
through everything, including Obama's reception in in Saudi
Arabia and what this is about, and I want to talk about the
what people are asking for. But this act would allow us citizens
to sue other countries for actively financing or the
assisting terrorism. And the 911 families want to be able to sue
Saudi Arabia, specifically, because they believe that the 28
pages which they also want released, and their separate
bills for that the 28 pages will show that there was at least
financing of the 911 terrorist by Saudi Arabia. So here he is
with Don Lemon, just it's an interesting, I mean, take a you
have to take his position into account. He lost his kid, he
lost his friends, his co workers. And here's what he
said. They told
us the grid ground zero, the year was fine. Everybody got
sick, I was in a coma for 16 days. They have some nerve. I
mean, we should be allowed. All we're doing is looking for a
right to sue not, you know, they can go to court and chat. And
we'll have what they do announce they have sovereign immunity. So
they give a blanket statement, this Chasta law will wipe out
the sovereign immunity and we'll be able to go to court and sue
them if they abetted aidid finance have funded the
terrorists.
What do you say to Lindsey Graham, the who was the co
sponsor the bill who's saying this could open the us up to
legal attacks.
I say, I don't know what happened me sponsored the bill.
And now all of a sudden, maybe the Saudi Arabia has 707 firms
that lobby down in Washington. Maybe you got a piece of money
or something.
Do you think though that the White House and now Lindsey
Graham, do you think they're looking at a at a bigger
picture, if something else is at play,
they're looking at something else, pizza between Saudi Arabia
and them, they got to think of the American families who've
lost their loved ones that they 3000 people died, I picked up
the pots down there, they're worried about the Saudi feelings
and how they're going to be with the probably threatening them
with the $750 billion, let them do what they want. We have to
stop the terrorists with the funding and everything else
now. Okay. So this is important just to stop here to get the
whole story regarding the 28 pages, but really now being
pushed over to this new act is what Saudi Arabia is responding
to. They're not saying don't release a 28 page note saying,
Hey, you can't be suing us for anything that won't work. If you
want to do that. We're going to sell all of our treasury. So
they're, you know, they're threatening a little bit, which
is another reason on President Obama probably went over to talk
what they
want. We have to stop the terrorists with the funding and
everything else. And right now, we're not doing it and President
Obama was going to reject the bill. He didn't even read the 28
pages in the classified report.
Now, this is what's interesting about this bill, it is mainly a
Democrat, Democrat, Bill, Cornyn, Schumer, Grassley,
Feinstein, there's what how many more spawned like 20 different
sponsors on it,
and he's saying we're gonna get routine lawsuits. This 911 was
not routine. It was a major, major attack. We need
legislation to prevent countries from doing this. Otherwise Paris
is going to happen again, San Bernardino and 911 is going to
happen again and again, unless we hold these people
accountable.
You said that you believe the President didn't even read the
20 page classified report, but you want that report to be
released. Why is that so important? It's
so important to us because we want to have the right to sue
and we also wanted to bring this information in to the court. If
you look at those 20 He pages some of the people that have
read it. There's been down in San Diego embassies, money
exchange hands between handlers and the 911 hijackers from the
Saudi Embassy out there. They treated these people with kid
gloves. The Bush administration flew 100 people right after 911
of the bin Laden family. That was the only plane allowed up
back to Saudi Arabia. While we the former were down there.
Did you know I love this. It's only taken 15 years, but now
someone can actually say on CNN, that the Saudi family were the
only plane that was allowed to leave on 911 the only aircraft
that was not grounded, if you said that five years ago.
tinfoil hat conspiracy theory and truth there. Now, it's just
like, oh, yeah, okay. Don Lemon doesn't even respond. But I
mean, I am. I am Oh, failure. People, like, what does that
mean conspiracy.
It was discussed when it happened.
Everything was discussed briefly when it happened. And WT C seven
was discussed when it happened. I'm just talking about what's
happened in the in the decade and a half since then. I know, I
know. You could not bring it up. Now you get the truth. They're
saying to Cheney and Bush, get it inside gab. Yeah, that's that
that was the response you would get I've been around
of the bin Laden family. These people were kid gloves. The Bush
administration flew 100 people right after 911 of the bin Laden
family. That was the only plane allowed up back to Saudi Arabia,
while we the firemen were down there digging our loved ones
looking for our loved ones.
If you're allowed to sue, what does this do for you? What will
you sue for? What will the family sue for? What do you
want?
I don't know. I'm not even we're not even thinking about money or
anything like that. We want accountability. We want it to be
known that Saudi Arabia, if you look at these pages that they
said it doesn't affect national security. But that's the reason
they held them. Why did they hold them up? Why was it because
bush and them had oil ties with with with the King of Saudi
Arabia? We have to ask these questions. Why did they protect
them? They had numerous things in his 28 pages with local
police departments had information and the FBI squashed
it. They said no, no, it's the Saudis leave him alone. This is
all it's in those 28 pages. Let's release them.
But at this point, just goes to show how good we are classifying
stuff in the United States government. Everybody knows
almost exactly this is a new piece of information. I didn't
know that in 28 pages. It possibly also spells out how how
people just ask the Saudis let them go. Don't worry about it.
The Saudis leave him alone. This is all it's in those 28 pages.
Let's release them. We will those who forget history are
doomed to repeat it. But we've never even got to kind of get to
know the history if they hide it
from us. Have you been paying attention to the President's
trip now? And what do you think of it?
I just saw that he got a cool reception at the airport. And I
think you've got to put them, you know, put them right in that
place. And say, Listen, if you're not guilty, you have
nothing to worry about. And that's that families deserve
this 3000 families, heartbroken. We we, our hearts pour out every
day, my son's never going to walk back in the door. We
deserve to know what happened. We deserve to see the 28 pages.
And just that would be a good law to prevent future attacks in
the future like Paris, San Bernardino, 911.
So I did some work on this. Because you know, it involves
law and bills. And I like to read these things. What what the
overall though, what's interesting to me is this idea
of suing people who financed countries who financed
terrorism, which is obviously happening, because we just went
through we've completely deconstructed the 100 and $50
billion
from Iran.
Right. And in fact, let's play a little clip. That's a prelude to
your your discussion here, which is the Iran sued. Clip, the
US Supreme Court has upheld a judgement that forces Iran to
compensate victims of terror attacks. They include relatives
of 241 US Marines killed in a Beirut bombing in 1983. Their
families will collect from nearly $2 billion in Frozen
Iranian funds held in the US.
Yeah. So we went through it it but we went through all this, we
saw exactly how it worked. We saw the lawsuits. And really
what this is, so we're not going to sue being the suing is
irrelevant. It's about freezing the assets, which is exactly
what we did with Iran. We froze all the assets from Iranian
based assets that were in the United States. And we held on to
that money until we had district judges and courts say, Oh, you
obviously have a right to go after some. What was the word?
Retaliation is not the word but you deserve some compensation
compensation. And what we'll do is since we have this money
under control, you can now access bad money because you
sued them successfully. But what is mind boggling to me? How did
we go? And maybe Of course, every single politician these
days is a lawyer. When someone would like be involved in
killing your people didn't we just go and like start a war and
kick their ass? What is it suing bullshit? I'm gonna show you if
you do get me sue me a better lawyer, I present to catch
you with that it seems to be it seems to be more politically
correct. I think is a big part of it. The second thing is, it's
one of the new ways as you know, we've stolen money before we do
as well we do we steal money. This is what you do. If you if
you are the Empire, remember that?
No, hold on Russian Russian money. Russian money was locked
in America. We hope we held it. It's still it's still under
sanction.
Yeah, we look for a way to steal it.
But like a lawsuit,
lawsuit would be good. This is one way of making the stealing
look kinda legit.
And I do want to point out because I just read the names.
This is a Jewish sponsored bill by the Jewish fraction in the
government that is sponsored by a lot of other people. But it
was it was
similarly buddy should be going after Saudi Arabia. It's the
Jews. Yes, Saudis who promote this Wahhabi mosque building all
around the world. They just do nothing but spew anti Israel,
anti Jewish and
they've bought up a whole bunch of property and land in the
Baltics, that in the Balkans, the Balkans, the Baltic states,
the Balkans, the Balkans. Now, the Balkans. I know where the
old Yugoslavia. It's at the Balkans? Yeah, the Balkans. And
they're building mega mosques right on the border of Europe.
And yeah, they're preaching the same stuff. Death to the Jews.
So yeah. Now, very
interesting. government sanctioned,
very interesting timing is no as we're looking so. So the idea
would be we have Saudi money and what they're saying, Hey, if
you're gonna pass this bill, we're taking our money out.
That's pretty much what they're saying. You can call treasuries,
whatever you want, however, you want to position it. They don't
want their shit to get frozen by us, and then subsequently
stolen. Because if you look up the United States on Wikipedia,
it says, Yeah, we're pretty good at stealing your money. Hate to
say that. So we saw this money. There was no it was a 101st was
150 billion there was 100 billion this is all Iran. And
then Kerry. Timing is everything says this yesterday, two days
ago,
despite the sceptics most dire predictions. We are in a place
that some people thought was unimaginable, and others
unacceptable. You remember the debate over how much money Iran
was gonna get? You heard? Sometimes you hear some of the
presidential candidates, putting a mistaken figure out of 155
billion I've never heard, we never thought it would be that,
although others thought it would be, although that's exactly what
they said in the State Department documents. So that's
a lie. Never thought
it would be that. Others thought it'd be about 100 billion
because there was supposedly 100 billion that was owed and so
forth. We calculated it to be about $55 billion when you
really take a hard look at the economy and what has happened.
And guess what post?
What kind of math is he doing? Yeah,
it was 150. They were stealing the money.
But wait, how much do you think they actually got of the 100 and
50 billion originally reported how much that Iran is like they
got 100
Billions? No, listen, take
a hard look at the economy and what has happened. And guess
what, folks? You know how much they have received to date. As I
stand here tonight, about $3 billion.
Okay, no wonder they've got s 300 rockets aimed at us. We
steal their money. Crazy. So this came up, of course at the
State Department, and I'm sorry, this is the White House Josh
Earnest. Regarding the White House is very much against this.
So the here's a rift, which is not being reported us but this
is a Democrat Party bill. There are Republicans on board, but it
is not a Republican bill. It's and it's a Senate bill from the
from the Democrats. And the White House is against it. And
the only way I can see that is the President is worried about
you know, being sued, then he's clearly worried about his money
somewhere else being sued, being frozen and stolen. I mean,
that's what that's what it would come down to. And we don't need
this because we clearly know how to do it. Somehow we were able
to do it with with Iran. There was no mention of Iranian
hijackers, but yet we stole their money. And there's
document 17 This is what I wanted to bring up document 17
is a is mentioned in the 28 pages but has been available
pretty much since the 911. Commission. The documents
contains kind of like a mini 28 pages. And where was this? So
this is this has been public knowledge I'm gonna see I'm
gonna have a copy of it here with me but the terrorist, one
of the terrorists who apparently went to flight training school
and magically learned how to go from a Cessna 152 to a 757 and
fly it into above physical speed for the aircraft into two tiny
buildings. At least that's what it looks like from the air
received his pilot's licence, indirectly, from the Saudi
Arabian embassy in Washington.
I had never heard about this.
I've never heard about this A. And B, if you look up documents,
17 and a wiki page, it's very hard to find anything.
It's been washed or held quiet or it's a long time ago to this
is document 17 came out after the 911 Commission. You know,
the internet was just kind of getting going and people forget
things very, very easily. Anyway, here's Ernest from the
White House.
Hold on a second. I'm on page two real independent news and
philam. Documents. 17 has just been recently declassified.
It's it's been available, since that's my understanding. But
doesn't matter. Nice to know about it now, too. I don't care,
that's fine. If that's the official story, then you know,
then let's roll with it and say, Hey, how did the because when
you get your pilot's licence, if they're gonna send it to the
address that you register your yourself at, and you know, he
must have registered himself at the Saudi Arabian embassy.
That's interesting. It was just declassified in July of 2015. So
it's been out for
I think I can find evidence it was available much earlier.
Well, look, fine, we'll look for it. Anyway, here's Ernest, they
don't want none of this will judge what you just
described is a scenario where Congress would open up a
loophole that would allow individual Americans no matter
how justified they are in having sustained harm, being given an
opportunity to sue another country. And it certainly is
possible, Josh, that other countries, when they're
implementing these laws would not tailor them. So
specifically, and that does open up the United States to a unique
degree of risk. And putting our country our taxpayers, our
service members and our diplomats in legal Jeopardy in
that way, is contrary to our interests. It's unwise.
But why? So what he's saying is, if we open this up, then other
countries are going to sue our politicians what what kind of
world are we in what happened to good old terrorism and go blown,
you know, blown someone's country up? We're gonna sue you?
Is this how we sneak the International Criminal Court
into the equation and we all become used to the idea of just
suing our enemies. This is an odd I'd let's look at the bill
for a second. So this is called this right now. It's Senate Bill
2040 to deter terrorism, provide justice for victims and other
purposes. And then we have all of the sponsors and co sponsors
that I mentioned. And then we have to go down because this is
the bill where they crossed out all the original stuff. Okay, so
this Act may be cited as the Justice Against Sponsors of
Terrorism Act, and then they have some findings,
international terrorism, terrorism is serious and deadly
problem, okay. The Constitution confers upon Congress the power
to punish crimes against the law of nations and therefore,
Congress may by law impose penalties on those who provide
material support to foreign organisations, engaged in
terrorist activity and allow for victims of international
terrorism to recover damages from those who have harmed them.
So they're saying this is a constitutional right that
Congress has? Maybe I'm not so I guess, I don't know.
international terrorism affects the interstate and for commerce,
yeah, it's our interest. Some foreign terrorist organisations
acting through affiliated groups or individuals raise significant
funds outside the United States for conduct directed and
targeted at the United States. Yeah, I know we I can barely
send money to my daughter anymore without Department of
Homeland Security intervening. Hey, why are you sending this to
someone with the same name? That's suspicious. It is
necessary. It is. I'm not kidding. It is necessary to
recognise the substance cause of action for aiding and abetting.
Okay. And then they point to the United States Security Code. So
declared in resolution 1373, adapted, adopted on September
28 2001, that all countries have an affirmative obligation to,
quote, refrain from providing any form of support active or
passive to entities or persons involved in terrorist acts, and
to ensure that any person who participates in the financing,
financing planning, preparation or preparation of terrorist acts
or in supporting terrorist acts is brought to justice. Now
they're bringing in the UN, but the purpose of this act, they
say purpose is to provide civil litigants with the broadest
possible bases consistent with the Constitution of the United
States to seek relief against persons entities and foreign
countries, wherever acting and wherever they may be found, that
have provided material support directly or indirectly to
foreign organisations or persons that engage in terrorist
activities against the United States. Now, there is really no
language in this document that explains the mechanism other
than the one we saw take place with Iran. He does actually have
though, then that's why it's a little incorrect. What was your
said there? No action may be maintained under Section 233
against one the United States to an agency of the United States
or three, an officer or employee of the United States, or any
agency of the United States acting within the official
capacity of the officer or employee or under colour of
legal authority. So if you're the if you're, let's say, from
Syria, and you're in the United States, and you say, Hey, you
guys blowed my family up? You can't sue the United States. So
that's how the law would work, which I think is beautiful. Not
enough. Not at all unbalanced.
We're so good at this.
I think this is if anything, a distraction, John, for the 28
pages. Take the focus away. That's all I know. It's all I
disagree with that. And the reason I disagree with this,
because all the news stories and everything in I think this is
included all focus on the 28 pages, the 28 pages are part of
the conversation. I think the opposite. I think they're
bringing the focus onto the 28 pages to make the American
public demand see the 28. And then and then. Okay. And I think
there's something screwy going on with Saudi Arabia, that's
beyond what we think
isn't? Isn't the 28 pages is just aren't we using that as a
threat against Saudi Arabia? Isn't that kind of the whole
idea?
I think does. I think the 28 pages are going to come I think
something else is going on with Saudi Arabia. Now, I don't know
that you could get away with pulling this stunt because I
know we have a lot of money. And most of the American debt is
owned by the American public. A lot of people don't realise it.
But these outsiders do have a big chunk of it. Saudi Arabia
has 753 billion. If they did what they, we may actually be
goading them into selling that those bonds. Ah, come up at a
better
better. Whoo. Okay, hold on a second. This is a great Gambit.
So you just squeezed him. At the closer you get to the deadline,
the price presumably would drop, like a rock. So it's a cat and
mouse game, which we have all the cards in hand really, we
just had, we don't have
to do it and absorb the seminar if it's 3 billion just brings it
up all the way down. If I had been probably down to 600. I
mean, who knows what the what would happen, but it would
disrupt the markets. And that depends on how the everybody
else reacts, it could it could actually cause that depression.
I keep predicting, but it was not may not be a bad thing,
either. From the perspective of the government. Oh, I like that.
I like that. Listen to the couple of things. Are they given
me pause about our relationship with Saudi Arabia, three clips,
how about
the fact that they demean women and chop people's heads off? I
question our relationship over that.
Well, that is something that we have to deal Yes, I agree with
that. I mean, that is the problem domain is not even the
word for it. I was when I was in Dubai, I had a discussion with a
British expat who used to it he was all over the place. I think
he was, I don't know, I'm just guessing he was smoking because
someone want to spook, spook British style. And he said that
he says if you go to Riyadh, Riyadh, and you go past the
American Embassy, you will see that there are there's a line
like a Star Wars movie line of women, American ex American
women live well into he jobs lined up around the block trying
to get in to get back to the United States because their
husbands just beat the crap out of them. And nobody does
anything about it because it's okay. It's kind of like part of
the rules part of the game. You get to crap beat out here
constantly. Now it's a good start. And they're American
women who married some Saudi and they fell in love with some
Saudi was just a greatest guy in the world clubbing in Los
Angeles. Right. But then when they move back to Saudi Arabia
is he's a wife beater. And you know, because all his buddies
are too, he says, and the American government, the
American Embassy, they can't do anything about it. Some
agreement, and so the women can't get out of the country.
They're stuck over there. And he just says is just horrendous.
It's,
of course, the State. The State Department are the ones who give
them the the visa to go in the first place. So yeah, why would
they why would they stop it? And so they're probably over there
in the harem.
So there's a bunch of stuff like that going on, which is, you
know, and I think there is something to this Vance, I said,
play this clip here. The Saudi visit. This is the PBS version,
which would be the, I'd say the more official version of the of
Obama's visit, and it's a short is the shortest of all the clips
because they didn't have anything to say except that, you
know, it was a little awkward.
President Obama arrived in Saudi Arabia today hoping to reassure
a sceptical ally. Tensions were evident as the President arrived
and was greeted by the local governor and not King Salman.
The two leaders did meet later and offered smiles in gracious
words. The Saudis have opposed the President's outreach to
Iran, and his approach to Syria.
Didn't say anything else.
All the networks, that's all they reported. They all said it
had to do with Iran and Syria, and that was that they didn't
talk about the threat of selling the bonds it didn't talk about
it's 28 pages. They all all of them, including dw, which I have
a clip from to avoid the topic. Listen to the Saudi visit, as
reported by CBS.
Press President Obama met for two hours today with Saudi
Arabia's new king at a time when the friendship between our
nations is strained to say the least. Margaret Brennan is there
for us tonight in Riyadh. Margaret
was Scott President Obama was met by a small delegation, not
the usual pomp and ceremony often given to visiting world
leaders. His arrival wasn't even broadcast on Saudi TV. senior
Saudi officials have made clear that the relationship with the
US will only improve after President Obama leaves office.
The Saudis are particularly angry about that nuclear deal
with Iran. And they believe that only the next president whether
it's Hillary Clinton or even Donald Trump, will be able to
restore Saudi Arabia status as America's key ally in the Middle
East. Saudi leaders also flatly reject President Obama's
description of them as freeriders. too reliant on
American military might, most importantly, Scott because they
say the US needs Saudi Arabia to help defeat ISIS and Al Qaeda.
You want to hear the CNN version of the report? Yeah, talks
of reshaping US relations with Mideast nations. The crowds
loved him. Less than two years later, the same city his host,
President Mubarak overthrown in the Arab Spring uprising. How
Obama responded to the fall of his allies set the tone of his
relationship with the region's since
it wasn't so much that they fell there was so much how the US
went by it and that's what really is the beginning of this
schism.
schism to rupture with the US Iranian new
schism is a schism, what is it schism, it's not a chasm.
It's like carrying a sheet of paper and a half book of
knowledge.
What is the definition of schism?
The term schism has a couple of uses as a noun, one division of
a group and two opposing factions to a formal separation
of the church into two churches or the withdrawal of one group
over doctrinal differences.
So it's, you become a poser opposing sides in the schism and
biggest divorce is like a schism. Yeah,
a schism that grew to us Iranian nuclear deal. The Saudis were
furious.
They believe that Barack Obama has sold them at the altar of
his own rapprochement with Iran. There are challenges.
In response to all this, Saudi Arabia has ramped up its armed
forces. Overtaking Russia to become the world's third largest
Defence and Security spender, and last year, formed a 34
nation Sunni Muslim coalition to follow Saudis lead.
As a result of their mistrust of Barack Obama, the Saudis now
have adopted a more muscular foreign policy. They are on the
attack in Yemen and other places, and they're trying to
counterbalance Iran in the region. The Americans really
have lost control,
where they need to control the most solving Syria, Saudis nuke
King is a very impatient ally. He wants Assad gone now and
Iran's influence removed.
Is that course going to change? Now if there's a new president
that's more amenable to Saudi interest? I don't think so. It's
dead. The ship has sailed.
But for all the strains, both sides still need each other.
Saudi Arabia needs us weapons. Obama wants regional stability.
His time in Riyadh will not be about divorce, but easing the
estrangement that also
no mention of 28 pages 750 billion in treasuries or
lawsuits or anything like that zero, but I did like that Saudi
Arabia is the biggest purchaser number three on the list. And of
course they purchase that from mainly from us. So Obama may
also be looking to make sure the sales pipeline continues.
Well, that's the only kind of thing that kind of screws my
theory except for the news that came out. Saudi algorri the head
a Saudi Arabia buys Russian weapons. Okay. Reported in
Moscow top news. I have Russian Iskandar arms a deal facing ISIS
is nothing could prevent Saudi risks by the Russians a bunch of
the 28 pages are not the jacket of the Justice Against Sponsor
of Terrorism Act did come up in the State Department briefing
with Kirby who was back Goodness It may have even been the hot
Russian chick who asked the question Oh, no, it wasn't just
eat me. So yes, it was sufficient believe
that no current or former Saudi official or member of the royal
family was in any way involved in the 911 attacks.
Look, I'm not gonna re litigate history here the the you can go
online and see the story of the attack on
the internet, go to the internet, you can find out what
happened pretty brazen, hey, I'm not gonna re litigate this. Go
get online. Do your research people he actually sounds like a
conspiracy theories here. I do the research. I've seen the
documents
the story of the attacks and and how it happened and who was
responsible, and I'm not going to re litigate it. Can you say
that? No. President Obama, as it says, There's no indication that
Saudi officials are the Saudi government was behind or
supporting in any way those attacks. It's all it's all
there. The public record is all there for you to see. You said
the record is online. There are 28 pages. But
finally a the 28 pages aren't online.
Again, the 911 Commission report is pretty exhaustive. No one's
nice, clearly who is responsible for the tax
on i 11 is one of the thinnest books I have in my bookcase.
It's for
us to sit here this many years later and try to debate it, I
think is a fool's errand thought
a fool's errand? Are you crazy water under the bridge? There's
nothing go look online. What are you talking to
last looks like the last big purchase we that Saudi did from
us was 60 billion in 2010. And then they've been kinda,
it's time for it's time to re up. This is why
this is odd, obscure story that says Saudi to purchase Pakistani
new nuclear weapons. Which is another thing that we can't
tolerate.
Well, how about this? So I'm just trying to connect some new
weapons sales, that's gonna be more important. We know that,
well, it's $750 billion dollars of treasuries is pretty
important. Sure, but let me just play my last clip here, which is
the one this was the end of a long discussion. This is the end
of Deutsche velas, Saudi Arabia analysis, they went on and on, I
just wanted to kick get the end of it, because they had a couple
of things that they kind of caught me, you know, where they
got to concluded them out? You know, I didn't think of it that
way. But okay, let's, let's see what you think. You're gonna
have to tell me what the name of the code and the why chavalla
Saudi analysis?
Sessions are all right. The Saudis have supported the same
groups like the Americans have, namely, the FSA, with some
exceptions, but the Saudis have adopted a more aggressive
France, the Free Syrian Army policy last year together with
Turkey and Qatar, supporting Salafist Islamist militants in
the north of the country. And that has provoked the the
Russian intervention in the country that has provoked of
course American criticism
before we run out of time. All of this almost animosity that
we're seeing right now between the US and Saudi Arabia, does it
signify a shift in Saudi American relations a permanent
shift? Well, I
think it does, because Saudi Arabia is still dependent on the
US for security, but the US is not as dependent as in the past.
Yes, and that is that is the new development and that is why all
these animals,
what did you say? What did you say was the new development
enrol back? Second?
Yes. And that is that is the new development. And that is why all
these animosities over political systems culture become more
important. And that is why so many Americans, especially in
Congress right now have become more critical of Saudi Arabia,
and rightly so, it is a brutal dictatorship, and especially
religious religious rights are a problem in that country to an
extent that we do not see in any other country worldwide.
Okay, how about this? How 40% of our economy is military stuff
that makes that kills people. And we'd like brown people in
sandy areas. 40% is the is the financial sector. And then 10%
Is everybody washing each other's car and driving each
other around. So this probably started off with assault with
Saudi Arabia welshing on some payments. It goes big time, a
free ride all this stuff that the President was saying, hey,
mofos, you got to start buying some stuff that's been 2010
since we last saw it. And then Saudi Arabia says, Hey, Cool
your jets, dude. But maybe we should take our money out if
you're going to be such a douche. And then everything
comes into play. It seems like a sales like a spring clearance
sale for weapons first and foremost. But then, you know,
with oil prices, and just every everyone's on edge, and we
spiral down into a pissing match. And then somewhere along
the line 28 pages or this lawsuit came up in Saudi
Arabia's like, hey, so probably. That doesn't sound it sounds
probably
is good analysis is anyone can do. It's pretty reasonable.
Yeah, no. argument would be that's the logical thing that
would be underlying what's going on. But it's definitely
something going on. It's not like, you know, the way PBS
reports and all that is, you know, there's a little chilling
going on, and they didn't greet him with a band at the airport.
And nobody.
We're all messed up about that.
Band. Yeah.
Well, that is fun times, but it's just hard to get a lot of
them regime change coming up.
And I want to say to our viewers rife, I wanted to say to all of
our producers, that need to be removed all of our producers who
are listening to the programme. These are the days when it's
incredibly important to be looking the other way. We had
Prince die. This is going to go on for a week at least, it's
going to obfuscate everything shit happens during these
periods, people. Yeah, please be.
So did you. You must have been in the slide looking for find
out how Prince died. He wasn't that old.
I, I've been this happened during the show. I have no idea
what happened. So
it's always happens during this show. And I gotta tell you, I
have only
one collection of vinyl records. And that's all of princes
records. I'm a big fan. And I met him he's nine. He was a nice
guy.
He was like, yeah, he's supposed to be a nice guy. Very creative,
but you can't
you just gotta move on love and like, move on. Because the shits
gonna happen. It's gonna be much more important than prints.
Yeah, well, there's definitely a bunch of weird stuff. That's,
that's coming down. And it's showing up a lot on our show.
Yeah. Oh, student I hear that you wanted to see this
distraction of the week.
But before we do that, Can I do one more lawsuit? Since we're on
lawsuit, last one more lawsuit. Very interesting lawsuit. As you
know, there's a lot of talk about making gun manufacturers
liable if one of their guns kills somebody. Because of
course, guns do that. And it's claimed that this is the only
industry in America that has these protections, which is
false. The pharmaceutical industry has fantastic they can
actually experiment on you. Hey, try this experimental gun. If it
kills you, you can't sue us.
That's far, far more onerous. Yeah. Somebody has to pull the
trigger on the gun. So
now that we have all of these lawyers, they figured out a way
to sue them anyway, because they won't sue them for manufacturing
the guns. What do you think they could sue them for John?
Promoting the guns.
Parents are trying to get around this. They're saying that the
gun manufacturers should be held accountable for what they're
calling and very strong words, unethical, oppressive and
immoral marketing tactics.
Yes, please allow this, man. Let's just get rid of the First
Amendment to start with
to get rid of the First Amendment
and out and let's do this to all advertising shouldn't wait let's
listen to more
advertiser. You gotta do it tomorrow. It's gonna be about
marketing. You're leaving it wide open. Yeah.
Let's, let's listen to their the background
tactics. They say that the gun manufacturers have specifically
targeted young men who play video games like
Call of Duty. And of course, there's no evidence that there's
any correlation
and they've also targeted civilians who they say just are
not fit to be operating these military style rifles and
firearms. In particular, the law says they're
targeting people who are not fit to carry these military style
weapons. This message that is marketing right there, man. In
particular,
the lawsuit itself puts a very fine point on it if we can take
a look at a full screen. It says the Bushmaster defendants
militaristic marketing, and free militaristic
marketing. Ah, yes, this is gonna be this year just a
terrorist marketing that would have been much easier
Mr. Defendants militaristic marketing in reinforces the
image of the AR 15 As a combat weapon used for the purpose of
waging war and killing human beings. It continues on this
marketing tactic dubs to dovetails with the widespread
popularity of realistic and addictive first person shooter
games, notably, of course, Call of Duty that prominently
featured AR fifteens and rewards players for headshots and
killed. So they're going at it saying this was negligent
marketing, and also that it violates a Connecticut statute
about unfair trade practices.
Wow. Whoa, Connecticut, and you get Clip of the Day for that.
Oh, thank
you very much. I wasn't even expecting it. Honestly.
That's the best kind like a knockout punch.
I'm like, wow, militaristic marketing. Well, yummy.
I can just see the OB suing McDonald's for their
advertising.
Yeah, that's right. They were targeting fat people. That's
right. Oh, I can't wait. That'd be fantastic.
You can sue me. I can just see everybody getting sued.
Advertising being what it is. Yeah. Yeah, that's this is a
this is a bad idea. Bad idea. If I was in the advertising
Council, any of these operations that are that are lobbyists, I
would be I would be having a meeting right now. The
implications of this course is not a good thing.
taken money. Actually the the new season of Veep with Julia
Louis Dreyfus, where she's president for the season.
There's a lot about the lobbyist in the industry and how it works
in there. It's pretty good for a comedy. It's not bad. I like
her.
But she's funny, you know, she's a billionaire
heiress. And to end to be because she's talented, to be
talented. And then, you know, I'm sure she went through a lot
of bullshit with people hating her because she was already rich
coming into the game.
I think she covered it up a bit for a while
for sure. But I didn't I don't think I knew it until you
mentioned it.
Yeah. Well, I didn't know uh, during her era at Saturday Night
Live, and it was after after the Seinfeld show closed that I
found out.
Oh, you had a little entre Mall. He wanted to slip in there.
Because I would like to move to a new topic. But if you got
something fun to swing us around,
what is this thing? It says Sanders visit PBS is that he
goes on there. I'm not sure what the Oh, yeah, I wanted to get
let me finish off this. Because read all the news that happened.
There's one thing I could not find it anywhere. It's like one
of the most important events that take place in the United
States, at least at the presidential level. It wasn't
covered anywhere. In fact, it hasn't happened yet. It's just
about that. Maybe there'll be covered today.
So this is happening. They didn't cover it because it was
still in the future. Well,
no, they didn't cover the main the it's it's important enough
that you'd cover it that it's going to have Okay, got you
covered that that Obama was going to visit Saudi Arabia for
you actually got I gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. State Dinner.
Then I had to go to Chinese news to get this story.
What can you tell us about the elaborate preparations for that?
Well, it's really clear that First Lady Michelle Obama wanted
very much to reciprocate the kindnesses of men among the one
and President Xi Jinping and hosting the whole family over
the course of last year. There was of course, that visit by
Michelle and the girls and her mother, to at the invitation of
hyung liwan, to the pandas to many other sights and sounds of
Beijing, and so no detail essentially has been spared in
the preparations for the state dinner. Take a look at the state
dinner for President Xi Jinping and Madame PON liwan. No detail
is too small. Each table will have one of these candy Chinese
gardens and a row of miniature mooncakes just in time for the
Chinese mid autumn moon festival
when I was thinking about what I could also include that is, you
know, a compliment to China. I read about mooncake Send that
the festival is coming next week to include something that
President Obama likes and he likes pumpkin. So when I decided
to make them I included them to be pumpkin mooncakes
more than 200 guests will enjoy this Colorado lamb entree Maine
lobster and some traditional rice noodle rolls made by a
Washington DC noodle maker. Head Chef Cris Comerford says the
kitchen is always conscious that diplomacy is the main course.
But of course, cooling air diplomacy is the best
achievement.
So if we could make our guests happy with our food, hopefully
they'll be happy for the rest of the day
and kinda like this really this
this is the second time US President Barack Obama and First
Lady Michelle Obama have hosted a Chinese leader on a state
visit for president who Jintao arrived for a state dinner in
2011. China is the only country in the world to be honoured with
Tuesday dinners under this administration. Just last year,
First Lady Michelle Obama her daughters and mother were the
guests of China's first lady Pung liwan Now White House aide
say the Obamas have a chance to plan something special in return
a gesture of thing
Okay sounds good sounded tasty Maastricht
monstrous event I gotta look at the menu holy but this would be
somebody who want to attend and also
maybe pumpkin mooncakes pumpkin mood guys,
but they the winds are interesting they got pride
mountain cab which is one of the best you can get. But they also
they have an Oregon Viane yay as one of their opening I
love you on Yeah, that's a white as you do.
Thank you. I'd mentioned it Wait, which one was it? It's
some obscure Oregon winery. I didn't get the name. I'm gonna
go back and get the name Yeah, I'd
love to try to clip I'd love to try it. Well, you won't be able
to get it you know what But Tina actually mentioned it the second
time she mentioned to me I'm like okay, I'll try this and you
know ever since I've been living in my own space have tried a lot
of dangerous things like a smartphone I went to a
smartphone by got the Amazon Echo which you know, I want to
point out not everyone loves it I've said that a year ago
almost. We tried to one of those food services that bring the
delivers to your home the entire menu with the portion the
portions for the ingredients are all measured out and everything
you just have to follow the instructions. Oh not bad. Got
you know and just like
made city or pantry go
no, you have a couple bonnet now you have Blue Blue Apron and I
chose it says it is just an experiment I chose plated and so
we get two meals for two people a week.
And the meals a week. Yeah, and
the cost including shipping everything for each person is 12
bucks per dinner. That's cheap. Yes. And we had teriyaki stir
fry I mean I understand how they make the money you the main
ingredient is would cause the most a piece of fish or piece B
for what chicken whatever it is. And the rest is you know it's
like sprouts and vegetables. So I understand how they make the
money if you do it in volume, but more importantly it was a
pleasurable experience
so let me get this straight so you have this is a uh what's the
name of the company you're dealing with plated plated
plated and died local are they chained? You know I think
that no, I think they're from Chicago or but the way they do
it is they they source close as quote locally or as close as
possible to where you are. Sorry.
Yes, cheaper should be cheaper of course and stuff all over the
course of course. Yeah. So they Okay, so you you is this an app
that's done your phone is just a website? Why don't you just call
someone it's a website? Yeah. And doesn't they have an annual
scribe? You subscribe subscribers a week? Yes, you
subscribe. Okay, and so he is a potluck. You don't know what
you're No, no, no, no, you they show you multiple choices for
the recipes of the week. So if you don't want something you
could change it or if like we're going away soon just say not
next week. Not not the week after. You do have to manage it.
You have to remember otherwise the food shows up and you're not
home. That was
hey, Dorothy, what's that? What is it comes
in a box with I mean, I have to say the packaging is fantastic
for keeping the food cold and fresh, but we're killing Mother
Earth with that shit. I was like, hey, like the freezer bag,
all kinds of stuff in there.
And you visited one course two courses at enough food. So you
know it wasn't
enough for us. In fact, I had leftover and I hated the for
lunch the next day.
And it was like teriyaki chicken teriyaki beef
stir fry. And then tonight we're gonna tonight we're gonna do the
salmon. Whatever this is somebody's Salmon Recipe.
So you get the recipe and then strung instructions. Yeah.
And they time it up and they time it out. You have to add
your own style pretty much You have to say, oh, put the water.
That's the hardest part I find with cooking. And what I like is
the timing everything out today set it up. So first you start
the water boiling now go do this. It's almost idiot proof.
And I thought that I was against it because like, I don't know
why I'm cautious of what I put in my body. So I wouldn't be
against it too. But I figured why not try it? And I have to
say, I'm, I give it a seven and a half overall right now. And
look at the way I usually shop as I go to the market or the
grocery store and I say, oh, what's Oh, let me get some of
this. I'll talk to the butcher guy. Hey, what's your god what's
nice? I like doing that.
You get a free dinner for two on your first delivery. That's
right. That's right. I know there's a plated.com blue apron

I don't make it up. This is what if you want someone wants up He
added we'll just add it. No, I'm just every night brings that to
the table. Um, so they have to share with everybody else.
Yes. All right.
Let me see, I had a couple of things I wanted to talk about
is, this is the first one here to find little interesting
research. No, not really research. I connected a few dots
for us regarding the Zika virus. Yeah. So we do have we're
ratcheting everything up. And if you listen to this reports, this
is Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci. Yeah. That's
isn't it? The douchebag who made all the money on? Yeah, he
made a bunch of money doing some sort of, oh, he had
patents on the vaccine for swine flu. And he's
also the guy who said both.
Yeah, let's hear. Let's hear from Mr. Let me see where is it?
Broth? Here he is. Good to be here, bro. Yeah, that's him.
Good to be here, bro.
Broth? him? Yeah, so this guy is no good, because he participated
in ratcheting everything up and making everybody afraid. And
then he was pocketing money. It may be totally legal, I don't
know. But he had the, I believe he had the patent on a vaccine.
He made a lot of money. It wasn't always back. And he is
the director of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the
National Institute of Health, who are set to receive about
$700 billion. If we get everyone to pony up and spend, you know,
move the 1.9 that was pledged for Ebola, which is the
President now is moved over to Zika. Everybody has a handout.
Like hey, where's my money? I've been waiting. We're dying over
here the
list a couple of shows ago or last show and I remember which
Yeah, about what a scam this is.
It's just giving money to NGOs, nongovernmental organisations,
them who support those NGOs. That giving $7 million to the
Dutch military.
He's got Zika showed him
maybe true. Hey, here he
is, from the public health perspective, what should
pregnant women or women who are thinking of becoming pregnant in
the United States,
so the only mission here is to scare people? That's all that
this Fauci guy does? What should they do?
Well, if you're staying in the United States, right now, there
are no local transmitted cases. So women in the United States
getting pregnant should not be worried about anything regarding
pregnancy. If you're pregnant, thinking of becoming pregnant
might be pregnant, definitely, you should not travel to the
areas where there are outbreaks such as South America, the
Caribbean, and Central America. So the CDC travel advisory
should be adhered to by pregnant women. What if
they're due? Because it does become a local case in the
United States? Has that totally changed the equation? Well,
yeah, it depends on the extent of local case in the United
States, if you just have a couple of clusters that you can,
you can close actually, since he's
already using clusters is one of those great words you see in
movies like contagion. So it didn't he didn't he consult on
contagion? So I think he also consulted on Yeah, I think one
of the somebody Bogle
case in the United States, if you just have a couple of
clusters that you can, you can essentially sustain the
suppression of it by not allowing it to become
widespread, very likely any major change there. But if we do
get widespread changes, then we're going to have to reexamine
the CDC, in real time, always examines what the situation is
and makes recommendations accordingly. For example, we
just found out over a period of several weeks, that there is now
sexual transmission from men to women. So there is and from men
to even a male sexual partner, the case of that, so the
recommendation now that if you go to this area, and you might
be infected, and come back, you should refrain from sex or use
safe sex for at least six months if you don't have a pregnant
partner, or if you have a pregnant partner for the
entirety of the pregnancy. So one should follow those
recommendations that are very well delineated by the CDC.
So if you're a pregnant man, you shouldn't have sex with the man.
Good to be here, bro. Thank you very much, Mr. Fauci. So what is
happening here? The response is interesting, and I don't like
and I'm very worried about the response that I'm seeing. I
think this is the starts off in California. Yay. So I'm sorry,
this agnostics Florida and the Florida Keys. So apparently, as
as you have researched and discuss, we don't really even
have this type of mosquito in the United States that carries
this virus.
Exactly. Okay. This is the same mosquito. I'll say it again,
that carries Dengue gay. We don't have we don't have dengue
fever. So yellow fever is the other one. If we had this
mosquito around here delivering yellow fever, we'd have to get
shots for it as a turrible disease.
Interestingly enough, though, states like Florida are now
talking. Of course they do this all the time. You No spray spray
for mosquitoes, particularly when there's the red tide. But
now they want to use this, this genetic engineering in order to
make sure that the mosquitoes will be self limiting. So you
know the the bad ones die off even though we apparently don't
have these types of mosquitoes. Oh, hold on. I'm not I'm not
done.
I just wonder why you mentioned the red tide.
Oh, because I was in Florida once with the red tide and the
mosquito when I was a kid, and mosquitoes were horrible, and
they flew over and sprayed the beach. Like really close, like
really, really close. Oh, it was it was the mosquitoes were as
big as your hand. Unbelievable red tide. So I remember this was
not just guys in hazmat suits, that was planes flying at, you
know, 300 feet or lower just to drop in this shit. Maybe that's
where I got my Tourette's from. So there now states are now
talking about spraying to get rid of these mosquitoes. And
this will be done by a company known as Oxitec, which was
purchased few years ago by Intrexon Oxitec. Their
technology is genetically engineering mosquitoes and was
financed of course by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. So
now we have money from the Gates's, who have been on this
genetically modifying mosquitoes God knows it might have that
modification may have been responsible for Zika in the
first place. I don't know. And now we're being frightened into
you know, all your kids can hear your unborn child as a danger.
Think of the children you have to be afraid you can't even have
homosexual sex that you're passing on. You probably want to
have a kid with a small head but you Oh, be very afraid. I think
that this will be perfect, perfect setup. To say You know
what? I think we'll just spray everywhere to make sure these
mosquitoes are gone rather than you can wait for it. Long Road
on that one. I tried. All right. Well, I've got a little Holy
crap. There's something so wrong with your audio today. All
sudden starts over modulating. It's so strange.
Yeah, you should have called me back. Yeah. All right. You keep
saying that?
Well, then it's okay. And then it isn't. I don't think calling
you back will help. Okay, well,
it might.
Okay. I'll call you back. I'll call me back. No problem. Two
seconds. One,
two. Okay, you call me back? Yeah, I needed the call. Let's
play. This is a clip I've been saving. And I keep forgetting to
play it. But this is something that you don't wouldn't know
about. Generally here. There's not something that covered but
it's something that's kind of disconcerting. This is the 1871
German law.
Moving on to other news now here in Germany Chancellor Angela
Merkel has improved, has approved rather a criminal
inquiry into a prominent talk show host who poked fun at
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Last month, he and
Bomberman recited a poem on live TV that mocked out one with
crude references to bestiality. This prompted Turkey to seek his
prosecution invoking an old German law that criminalises the
insulting of foreign leaders.
I do want to pause for a moment and give you exactly what the
what the disparaging remark was. He said he was a goat fucker.
Which is a slur for Muslim Arabs, I guess.
Uncle Americal took a week to respond to the explosive request
from Ankara and had three of her government's ministers examine
it. She has now cleared the way to launch a criminal probe
against television satirist young Burma man. immolated
started under the rule of law. It's not up to the government,
but rather it's up to prosecutors and the courts to
weigh the freedom of the individual against freedom of
the press and of artistic expression vague. Burma man has
been at the centre of much political and public discussion
since the end of March. In his show, he said, What happens next
is something that satire in Germany is not allowed to do.
And then the comedian recited a taunting poem about the Turkish
President Erdogan. His response was a criminal complaint due to
deformation. Erawan has invoked a clause that has existed in
German statutes since 1871. Whoever insults a foreign head
of state must face detention or fine. The German government
would now like to get rid of this clause. It's too late to
relieve the pressure of the current situation. Miracles
coalition partners, the Social Democrats have their own
opinion. These Intel Fesenko does is that the authority of
the corresponding clause 100 Three, four a should not have
been evoked freedom of opinion and artistic expression are the
most highly protected items in our constitution for short,
screwed up. The majority of Germans did not agree with
Merkel's decision, some views from Berlin. The Spanish mind
was bad taste, but artistic expression must somehow be
protected with them. I think it's still just satire. And
since we still have freedom of opinion and freedom of the press
here in Germany, there's nothing to question here in this life,
and I don't think her decision is right. But she's probably
under pressure. Once five Americans decision won't stop
the discussion, as the opposition says,
this is very interesting. Of course, we talked about in a
previous show about this happening with the with the
comedian. First of all, Germany is a police state, you know, the
they're now forcing Facebook to delete posts continuously. The
there's a contest that has now been started a poetry contest to
write the most offensive poem about Erawan. And you can win
it, which is great, you can win 1000 pounds. Well, what's what I
find interesting is the hypocrisy of everyone laughing
about how great it is. But when someone does a cartoon contest,
then everyone then everyone loses their shit.
Yes, yeah. Which is odd. No, it's
because I don't know.
According to the the fundamentalist Muslims, it is a
grave sin to portray that Mohammed. The image of Mohammed
is can't be you can't draw a picture and you can't make a
fake picture of him. You can't. You can't do anything that
that's why there's been a number of movies where they're supposed
to put Mohammed in the Gaza, lots of protests.
But also according to Turkish law, you can't insult the
president.
This other one is a religion wide thing. I think there's
a religion is not necessarily law last time I checked, but
Well, it isn't the way the Muslim thing is established.
There should be no difference between the lawmaking and the
religion. Right. So I don't think that that I think there is
a difference between the poems, the ffensive, poems, and the and
the imagery so
well, and not in the sense of Hey, why are you poking the
bear? You know, this right? That's what this is about. We
have huge problems with Turkey in in Europe, huge. And we're in
a fight right juge Well, we're in a fight here. Listen, there's
a fight right now. Fight Fight Fight. Turkey
is moving closer to being granted visa free travel to the
European Union. That of course is a distracting headline. It
could be in place by June. The bloc's executive the EU
Commission has said it depends on anchor and meeting the
remaining conditions contained in a deal with the EU over
stemming migration into Europe. And assessment is to be
presented in a report next month
the commission will present its third visa liberalisation
progress reports for Turkey on May the Fourth, all in all, we
need to remain alert and monitor the entire process closely.
Particularly when it comes to ensuring rights and appropriate
conditions for the most vulnerable, such as women and
children.
However, Turkey's foreign minister has called on the EU to
improve the delivery of a promise 3 billion euros as part
of the deal which is meant to help anchor and manage the
migrant crisis through relinquishment. There are
problems in releasing the 3 billion euros European Union
pledge to help Syrian migrants and I underline here this money
was pledged to Syrians not turkey. This is not only
Turkey's problem, Europe has to be more pragmatic. There are
disruptions such as two more but there aren't any other problems
and implementing the deal. Turkey specific complaint is
that the EU is handing out funds project by project but there are
many other regular expenses such as the delivery of
Hey where's the big check? Where's that huge budget big
giant check giant check your bill and bring it over so wait
before
we get too far away from the comic who made the slur sorry
they read the law and they said that you could be imprisoned or
a fine and it would be so easy from them to just get rid of
this whole problem by just give finding the guy $10.10 euros or
exactly the two euro Buck 25 cents I mean it'd be done with
it you don't have to deal with the leave the law there and just
have a ridiculously low fine for somebody doing this insult now.
Money in the coffers.
Also in Europe, although I don't have a clip, younger Junker, the
drunker the in in a was an interview. Let me just double
check here. This is from the BBC. So it's pretty legit they
are but he said I'm thinking that maybe there's a German
newspaper, he said we need a European army, which of course
was the promise. It was the promise. With its own Army
Europe could react more credibly to the threat to peace in a
member state or in a neighbouring state. He
said he wanted to attack Russia. Oh, yeah.
He said in an interview with Germany
this year, they've been moving to NATO. And we of course, well
listen, but
I'm playing right into you. The added one wouldn't have a
European army to deployed immediately. But a common
European army would convey a clear message to Russia, that we
are serious about defending our European values. And as we
reported months and months ago, at the Dutch, at least part of
the Dutch Army already has been grouped in with the German
forces. They are the German forces over
the shear the Dutch are just happy as claimed, in the view
that Dutch are unhappy about
a lot of things. But this is a this was a promise. It was such
a promise. No, no, no, we will never have a European army.
We're not going to do it. And we but yet we
did it because those Russians, yeah. Those Russians are coming
any minute. That's for sure. Russians. Well, this was more to
EUROPEAN NEWS. We do have the Google versus Europe. story.
I got that story, too. Yeah.
The European Union widened its antitrust battle with Google
today. EU officials accused the tech giant of rigging the mobile
applications market to benefit its own products. In Brussels,
an EU commissioner said Google uses the Android operating
system to freeze out competing apps
as a result of Google's behaviour. Rival search engines,
mobile operating systems, and web browsers have not been able
to compete on their merits, but rather been artificially
excluded from certain business opportunities.
Google strongly denied the charges.
So here's what they did. You still got those Microsoft have
filed Search and Replace scratch.
By that voice, they lose it very much like your kind of generic
European Dutch voice. But that it's interesting guy was
interested in listening to it again after seeing it. That's a
woman.
Yes. I think I might click I think might
be the same. Yeah, I
think this is the woman who replaced nearly Smith Cruz I
believe. Yes, it is. Exactly. So she's the anti competition
person. They usually work for 10 years on a case and then do a
Microsoft. Let me listen to my report. Maybe. Let me see if
there's more. I think there was more of her in that. Anyway, go.
Google is under fire again from the European Commission, which
claims it breached anti trust rules. The tech giant which said
it behaved in good faith risks multibillion euro fines and
could be forced to change its business practices. Google
already faces EU charges of promoting its own shopping
service and online searches at the expense of rival products.
Now the commission alleges it forced smartphone makers to pre
instal the Google search engine and Chrome browser and prevented
manufacturers from selling devices using rival software.
More than 80% of smartphones worldwide run on Google's
Android operating system.
That's interesting. I didn't hear anybody.
Have you ever bought anything from this fictitious Google
Store? For something online, you see that Google uses Google's
got some thumbs the
interesting you say that, because I what I presume you
mean is when you search for something, and it says shopping.
And yes, I've clicked on that many times. And it never goes to
a shopping site. It always fails, at least from my phone.
Oh, there's something else I wanted to mention. Just quickly,
I believe. And I've done just my own testing here in Austin. I
can't do it. That's all the testing I have. I believe that
Google is purposefully curry labs, curry labs, I'm sorry, the
crackpot labs. The secret crackpot lab in an undisclosed
location in Austin. When you use the Google name servers 8888.
And what is it 8822. I think
it's something like that. Let's say Twitter
fails frequently. But really, really, really, really
frequently. Yes. And I've checked I've tried to open DNS
servers. I've tried my eye My Time Warner DNS yet 8448888. And
every single time you sometimes you won't even open Twitter
itself, but usually the t.co links there URL shortener fails
on the google DNS. I'm just wondering, and I've been
noticing this for six, seven weeks.
Interesting. I stopped use I used to you As the google DNS
service if I gave up on him,
I don't want to try that you can track so much about a person.
I'm not going to do that.
Yeah, I just did it. I've worked the trouble. And but that's
interesting, because I didn't notice. But it would be for the
seven weeks ago that you saw this. I ditched it. But I wonder
what would it be? I don't know.
But it only happens with with Google's DNS servers, I guess
ends up
maybe, I don't know. Maybe?
Well, Google's in the area with their fibre. Yeah, maybe it's
some sort of like cable cutting your during the days of the of
the 18th. I guess it was probably around the 1860s. When
the when there was competing. Telegraph companies all over the
country, they were stringing up a telegraph line from here to
there, and people would just, you know, buy into one or the
other services. They used to be like phone companies, only they
were telegraph companies. It was a big deal. And there's just not
if you read the old newspapers from back then there's no I see
every other day, there was a report of some bad actors going
out and chopping down all their poles. And Western Union ended
up winning the battle and they were the big Telegraph Company.
By the time it was all over. That's one of the reasons there
was a lot of
the polls outdoors, a lot of a lot of sabotage. Absolutely.
Yeah, tonnes. And if somebody is in Berkeley, he wanted to get a
kick out of something. The old Telegraph Avenue Telegraph
Avenue was named because it was the avenue that the telegraph
line ran down very famous street in Berkeley make sense and if
you are observant as you go down that street, especially once you
get outside of the campus area, you go down the street, you will
see the old telephone poles, they're still there. And there
are giant green coloured metal poles that are just a really
high and they're up and down the street and for some reason you
unless somebody points them out to you, you won't notice them
and they've left them their little travel tip for you.
Fabulous telephone poles and they're made out of metal a
fabulous travel tip Telegraph Avenue Yeah. All right. Well, I
got a report this is kind of a gruesome reports a little long,
it's not too long, but it's a little long, but this is the
kind of thing that's that catches my attention because it
likes on the Olympics.
Ah, that's it. They're having problems with ticket sales in
Brazil, are they not? Yes.
Which is great. Although the Brazilians are gonna go broke
from these building all these special stadiums they do the
same thing for the World Cup then now they got everybody's
gonna be indicted or kicked out of office are going to impeach
the finally impeach the woman. And it's just a mess in Brazil.
It's just like a
horrible mess. And they've got Zika
Yeah. Zika. So you have this was Korea. This is a horrible story
about the Korean experienced during the 1988 Olympics. And
now they have all these people that are coming out of the
woodwork to bitch about the upcoming Olympics in Korea and
they're not going to they're not going to go quietly.
This is a horrible story. But the world's spotlight was on
South Korea during the 1988 Olympic Games with the clean up
the city 1000s of so called vagrants were rounded up off the
streets. Now, most were children or disabled people, and they
were simply sent away where they were raped, tortured, or killed.
coverups at the highest level stop the full extent of the
abuses from being known. Until now. We have this report. Yeah,
how can I be more my
wife was 14 when he says he was tortured into confessing to a
crime he didn't commit. What do you do with the police dragged
him to an institution called brother's home? Where he says he
endured five years of rape, slave labour and daily assault
did she say he enjoyed
Yeah, it was meant in the it was I think there was a missed Miss
diagnosis of what he said. I mean, enjoy meaning that he was
either being sarcastic, which seems unlikely No, our it was
just a it was the way the translator
can only be sarcastically meant or a unless it's just I think it
was mistranslated do you say enjoyed or endured a bit endured
maybe?
Maybe it just could have been endure Dallas
brothers home where he says he enjoyed labour sorry and daily
assault. Not only England, it was around what happened there
was like something you would only see in a movie
night or dragged people around and beat them. You wouldn't be
frightened by seeing that. Especially if you were only 14
years old. It was horrific.
And Nietzsche seek were among 1000s of South Korean tourists
forced into facilities for so called vagrants in the 1970s and
80s. The Round Up came as the ruling dictatorship prepared to
bid for and host the 1980s epics
rounded people have to hey, there's a big big broom and dust
beignets. just wiped all the vagrants up. Yep, Brazil you're
in for a good time.
The abuse first came to light in 1987. Prosecutor Kim Jung one
led a group of policemen there on a surprise raid after hearing
about brothers home by chance. There was no sunlight. There
were lots of people crouching in the dark. There were many people
and I realised they were waiting for death, not receiving any
appropriate treatment as it should order. I realised then,
that they had established and been managing a man made hell
than jewel wonderous. But Kim Young ones attempts to
investigate further were blocked by senior officials at every
turn until he was forced to stop entirely. The government didn't
want an embarrassing international incident on the
eve of the Olympics. The current government has refused requests
to revisit the case. But the victims are refusing to be
silenced. In two years time, the eyes of the world will once
again beyond Seoul as it again hosts the Olympics. The
survivors want the world to know what happened to them before the
country's first games their three decades ago. And they're
determined to speak out for those who didn't survive.
But let's focus on North Korea. Those bastards.
I think Dawn was ambassador then await at eight No,
no, not at eight. I gotta I should
ask him about it. But you should. orrible International
Olympic Committee is a huge corrupt money grubbing
organisation who mystory currently this sort of thing. So
what it's all about, it's all about corporatism and money and
it's a scam. But now we all like it. We all like to watch this.
What happens?
Well, not that we really liked.
It looks like we're nearer to a deal with the Volkswagen
Corporation.
That keeps stealing the money from our software company. So we
got to get some money out of these clowns.
Volkswagen has reportedly reached a deal with US
authorities to buy back up to half a million cars that cheated
diesel emissions tests and to compensate their owners. The
German carmaker, which declined to comment on the Reuters report
has until Thursday night to propose a settlement. The AP
news agency said it could spend almost 900 million euros to
compensate the car owners affected in the US it's still
unclear exactly how much each owner would get. But according
to German newspaper developed it could be over 4000 euros. If a
deal is confirmed later in the day and US authorities are
satisfied. The company will avoid a trial. European owners
of Volkswagen cars will also be watching
so they'll get off pretty easy. For 1000 They have to buy the
cars back. I don't know exactly what that means. But there was
another one of these scandals with Mitsubishi.
Mitsubishi shares. Sorry.
Yes to new one. Yeah.
Mitsubishi shares plunged by 20% on Thursday following the
carmakers admission that it faked fuel economy data on cars
sold in Japan, they'd already fallen by 15% Yesterday,
Japanese transport ministry officials have inspected the
carmakers technical centre as they begin to probe the company.
The government says it will submit a full report next week.
Based on the findings from the rate and a report from the
company. We would like to reveal the extent of the inaccuracies
as soon as possible. We'll deal with the situation in a strict
manner and would like to make sure that cars are safe.
Mitsubishi says it's investigating an apparent
confession from a former manager that he instructed other
employees to manipulate performance tests. The carmaker
falsified the data for for models produced after June 2013
to EK models and two days models produced for this sandwich.
Notice the discrepancies Mitsubishi made a profuse
apology on Wednesday.
I was like this I know what happens in Japan because
ultimately someone will kill himself when he's cool,
less so now that this this all stems from the unsustainable
bullcrap regulations. Yeah. For the for the for global warming.
Everyone said sure Pres. We can do that. Yeah, we can do that.
No problem. We can't do that. Just rig it. EPA chief what's
her name McCarthy was in Canada Navia. At the sustainable
prosperity conference. sustainable prosperity
prosperity.
He's not in jail. McCarthy, you've heard the lead for the
EPA in Michigan.
Well, she's in jail. She's in Canada. Now. She ran away to
Canada. She's in Canada to hide now she's on the lam in Canada,
picking up a couple extra bucks. Accept the sustainable
prosperity conference
to move forward on these international commitments as
fast as humanly possible in the more countries like yours in
mind that continue to step up and lead the way, the more that
others will follow in the smaller the challenge will be as
we move forward in terms of of the the impacts that will happen
if we do not take action today. So along with our federal
partners, the US Environmental Protection Agency, as you
probably know, has been central in leading the US effort on
climate issues. And make no mistake about it, we're
continuing to move forward. Because I want to be very clear.
President Obama, his administration, the EPA have
absolutely no plans to slow down, when the end of our race
happens, we are going to be running faster than that the
beginning of that race, because this is a race for this country.
This is a race for the future of our kids in the health of our
planet. And we are not slowing down. We are keeping up our
momentum. And we're going to do that all the way over the finish
line. Because we need to give the next president a leg up to
keep that momentum moving forward.
Okay, clear, very clear noise from Miss McCarthy there
should be singing on the other side of a bunch of bars or some
sort of a fence facility where they lock people up.
Well, Bill Nye, of course, as you know, is all for locking up
climate deniers. Which by the way, is
he said anything about locking up people will poison the
citizens of the Michigan State of Michigan? Oh,
I'll have to look for that clip. Yeah, I think probably not. I
will say, though, that this doesn't just come out of his,
you know, his noggin democratic Attorney General's have done
reports and had meetings about, you know, climate change
litigation. They have actually been investigating what they can
do against, you know,
like, against free speech. Okay.
Yeah, exactly.
So Bill Nye is that's what I have to deal with. This guy is
just flabbergasted his whole thing. So he issued a wager to
some guy. The about know he's predicting the future. So we
might as well play it. We could put it in the Red Book, and then
we'll see what happens. But he also the guy is just a douche
in an unusual publication called The Patriot post, a bodybuilder
and meteorologist named Joe vistar. And he challenged me he
challenged me to show a connection between carbon
dioxide and
the notice how he says a body builder right off the bat, you
know, the kind of discredit him that Oh, yeah. doesn't know what
he's talking about.
Yeah, yeah.
And he challenged me. He challenged me to show a
connection between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and
the world's temperature. And he challenged me to make a forecast
prediction. I can't help but think about Upton Sinclair, who
said, it's hard to get a man to believe something when his
salary depends on his not believing it.
You know, Bill, Beckett say the same for you. It's hard to
convince you that you're talking poop. When your salary depends
on it. This is not your full time gig now. So yes, I also
think of Upton often when I look at you to believe
something, when his salary depends on his not believing it.
Mr. Bastardi, I cannot help but know that you've spoken at the
coal trading conference, Nebraska propane and the gas
forum, where you speak is your business. But it also seems to
be your business, telling your audiences what they want to
hear.
That's your business to Bill.
But all this aside, let's talk about the forecast my
prediction. All right, so Mr. Bastardi, I will bet you $10,000
I predict that the year 2016 will be among the top 10 hottest
years ever recorded a chicken shit.
What is this top 10 years all of a sudden?
Okay, he's got the Upton Sinclair, quote wrong. Oh, of
course, as soon as he starts quoting people like you look
it up. This is why we are the best Hold on a second. This is
why we are. It takes two of us
it's difficult to get a man to understand something when his
salary depends on his not understanding it. Ah, he used
the word he substituted the word believe. Which I think because
it changes the meaning of the quote a little bit
well, but it's in the context of climate climate change believer.
Yeah. Yeah. So which is funnier because in fact, the original
quote, I think, would have been more poignant, because you'd be
arguing that while he just doesn't under To ended, as
opposed to the religious thing which we've gone over a number
of times saying that this is not a scientific, anything. This is
a belief system. And he in fact, actually proves it by using the
word belief. Instead of understand.
Alright, let's go back and let's listen to that quote as usual
publication started, he challenged me. He challenged me.
And he challenged me to make some prediction. I can't help
but think about Upton Sinclair, who said, it's hard to get a man
to believe something when his salary depends on his not
believing it.
And the actual word is understand.
Yes, understand not believing believe, of course is belief
is a religious term, a religious term. Yeah. Wow. I'm gonna give
you Oh, I can't give you a clip of the day because you didn't
have any plan. No, no, it wasn't a clip. True. Yeah. It was
great. What you did on the day, but you know what, at the end of
the clip, we'll both take it. Okay. All right. All right. Now
back to His wager. $10,000 And he says, I'll bet that 2016 is
one of the hottest years in the last 10 years. Oh kind of wager
is that
oh, then they won't embed will not take place because bowser
will argue once it's titled Get some documentation showing it
wasn't hot. And the other one what's his name there this The
Science Guy bill will find the NASA will have the number really
high because they'll budget
but he also doubled doubles down to make it 20 grand. This check
could be your and he has a giant check on he has one of those
giant checks the one that Saudi Arabia, those giant
checks. I've wanted to get those so I can pay my bills with them.
They have one at the Ronald McDonald house that you know,
you just wipe it off and you write the new one for when
someone comes by.
Oh, really? Yeah. You use a race like a whiteboard. Yeah, it's
erasable, and dazzling. Everybody loves the big check.
It's a classic. It's a classic purse
if you take the bed and it turns out not to be among the top 10
hottest years, but if it does, and you take the bet, you would
owe me $10,000 We don't take it up, giving
it didn't give him odds. But he's gonna double down.
I'll take it up a notch. I'll bet you another $10,000 so that
the decade 2010 to 2020 will prove to be the hottest decade
ever recorded. Two bets of $10,000 that that you could win
here comes if you believe that the world is for some reason.
Good leave there's this believe word again. John. I'm glad you
call that you've got to believe some reason getting cooler
instead of believing the wrong religion my friend. So come on,
champ. Show us how tough your command command champ so come
on, champ. Show us how tough you are.
Yeah, well, we both took with the Dave. Cliff.
So come on, champ. Show us how tough you are. Yeah.
She always had tough Yeah. Champ. Champ. Jump, jump, jump.
Champion jump.
So you know that company in Q tel. Yes.
In Q TEL is a venture capital firm, a nonprofit venture
capital firm, mainly initially financed by CIA, for startups to
invest in startups mainly technology startups.
So they invested in this company and I have a complete different
interpretation of what you're gonna hear this is the
everyone's all rule they're rubbing their hands together all
you know worried sick walking in a circle over this New Covenant
kids company skin central science.
Oh, yeah, I read the article about this. Yeah.
All right. This piece that you just
wrote this is from democracy No.
Democracy Now with their one of their guys from the intercept
about the CIA's
venture capital arm funding skincare products that collect
DNA. What is this all about? If you buy this cream that oh, a
racist blemishes and softens your skin?
We did a story on Friday that revealed for the first time that
in Q tel, which is the venture capital arm of the CIA had
invested is investing in skin central sciences. This is a
company that developed a special patented technology that
combines water, detergent and a pen like device to rub against
the skin and remove an upper thin upper layer of skin in a
painless way. for diagnostic purposes, this could be used Uh,
for medical purposes, early detection of melanoma, but also
for collecting DNA for potential identification purposes or other
purposes. As this company progressed, they realised that
this technology also had cosmetic value. So the public
facing side of this company has a product line called Clear
ista. And you clear various stuff. And you might have seen
it on YouTube, they market it very heavily on social media,
and Oprah's magazine, oh, magazine, and other places. And,
you know, this is an interesting product line. But what hasn't
been acknowledged or publicly reported is that this company
also has a partnership with the CIA, and the CIA is very
interested in developing technology that where they can
use biomarkers to collect DNA. So
explain more how it works.
It's kind of like a tide pen. You know, instead of rubbing
this pen against your clothes to remove stains, this is a special
pen used to rub against the skin and removing a thin upper layer
removes a thin upper layer of the skin,
right? And clearly, it also has cosmetic value because folks
have ever used it. And it's been modified to be used to erase
blemishes to get rid of dark patches on the skin. But the CIA
is also interested because they're interested in ways to
collect DNA, though they haven't been more specific about their
intent on how to use this technology.
So it's called Skin central science.
Yes. This company is one of hundreds of companies. And
he's thinking,
Yeah, this is exfoliation. This is not new.
Here's the way I see it. It's a new form of exfoliation. They're
using some sort of organic detergent, they mentioned that
earlier. Yes, things can be nasty. Yeah. So you'd have to
really be careful with them. They used to be organic
detergents or whatever you use in your get in your fuel and
gasoline that goes in there. And it cleans this crap off of us of
a piston head and stuff. Not really I used to when I was at
Union oil, they they had organic teachers, they use their
gasoline and I took a bottle of it home. You stole government
property? No, you know, as a private company,
oh, you stole a company property.
I didn't, I took some home was stealing it. And but you could
use it as a detergent. You could mix it with some gasoline, it
was dynamite stuff. You buy it as little containers for three
or four, you
put it in your tank. Yeah.
It was a copy of F 310, which is what your standard rose using.
And then I found that there was a, there's a lot of things about
these organic detergents that are very, very strong. So that's
what this is. Here's what really happened the way I see it. They
are developing this thing. They found this way of getting DNA
samples maybe or something. They're fooling around, they
invest in this company, this company, this is what we got
liquid does. And they showed it to you being used as a takes
like liver spots off it was a guy was 80 years old. It puts it
on his hand, boom, it's gone. takes it home to CIA guy, the
guy one of the MQL. Guys, there's a bunch of them, and it
takes him to his wife and he says, What do you think of this?
It's does this she says Holy crap. Look at what this thing is
done. You got to keep investing in this company. This is
dynamite. And so the guy Oh, yeah. Okay, so they keep the
thing going and now they've done the intercept is making a
mountain out of a molehill over what I believe is actually what
the product is. It is just like Viagra, which was such started
off as some something for I forgot what. But it became
something that noticed that every time he gave it to
somebody had a bowler. So they said, well, let's just repurpose
this. So they've repurposed this thing as an actual.
And what is the name of that?
Viagra?
Oh, you said something, rubbing something on the boner. No.
Whatever it is, I want to try
it. I don't know. Whatever the case, if you got blemishes on
the Boehner, this is the way to go.
Oh, blemishes on the Boehner. Yes. I think that uses on
babies.
Whatever the case, and I say that with advisedly. I think it
was just the CIA stumbled onto something that turned out to be
a habit cosmetic benefit, and now they're just a regular
investor. Were they going to do it But meanwhile, everyone,
anything they've invested in has to be some sort of spy craft.
I can't tell you the exact circumstances. But when I was a
kid, I remember it's related to my uncle. I remember a similar,
very similar situation. When someone came home and said, Hey,
honey, I've got this great stuff. It's called in visible
gloves. It's so good. You don't need to use gloves anymore when
you're washing the dishes. And it also removes your
fingerprints.
Wow, that's a good product invisible
gloves. I wonder if it still exists. But that was
I just think it's you know, they've stumbled onto something
and then now they're investors. So watch
this. If anything, it's a great add.
Yeah, no, that's what it amounts to listen to the guy from the
interception, then. Amy going well, what do you think it was
gonna do that? I don't know. What are they gonna do with it?
I don't
I don't care what they do. He's he doesn't care if you don't
world's worse report. Yeah. Well, doll anyway, I think this
stuff would be fantastic. You know, when you go to the doctor,
you go to a dermatologist, and they look at your arm and some
of the you know, these things you get if you have like, you
know, anything, like a little spot or a mole is not a mole,
but just discoloration on your skin. They bring out a scan of
liquid nitrogen or a spray thing and then they spray the crap out
of it. And then the next thing you know, you know, you got a
big scab, and it heals and it's fine. And the whole thing goes
away. Make sure your hands look better. If you can get avoid
this painful experience, and it doesn't feel good, by the way.
For this spray thing to hit. Yeah. This would be great. It
sounds like a fantastic product. Yeah, and there's our native
advertising for that is totally noted native. I said I was
promising some native advertising brakes. Yeah, I
forgot to move the clip over. No, settle.
Later. Oh, wait, was it one from the previous show?
I think it was the show before that. What was it called?
Probably native ad ABCs classic native ads. I haven't.
I haven't I haven't. Here we go. Okay, let's play this
clip to the new Star Wars trailer tonight.
No, that's an old one. Is that No, that's the one that's the
one right
now. No, that's not the one there's a newer one.
A newer one.
From within the last two weeks, like ABC class. Best up or
something's got something ABC.
They would have to be
we're already looking at the word native or that one.
I just want I'm trying I have ABC News native ad that's that's
that was Oh no, that's yeah, that's from April 10. Now
that was the Star Wars one. Yeah. Let me try it again. Yeah,
I
think that's the one I'm gonna go to the new Star
Wars trailer tonight. Rogue One A Star Wars Story racking up
more than 12 million views already fans combing through
frame by frame. This is this.
I don't know what it was laid that.
I'm pretty sure we did. All right. I'm sorry. I don't know
what it is.
That's okay. So you're full?
Well, you gotta we gotta end on an up note. And we need one more
clip just to get us out and make us happy.
Let's see I got a skin central tank. I got a gun. No gun down
is not an up note.
Is there anything positive we can play?
I think that thanks desert stories kind of fun. Thanks. And
desert story. Okay,
tracking your tax dollars. As we asked him part about 2000 tanks.
Just sitting in the California desert. ABCs Mary Bruce says
who's paying for it. It's all your money.
Tonight critics on Capitol Hill are squealing that is back
spending that is we must cut this out of control spending.
Funding for pet projects was banned five years ago. But
according to the annual pig book, the practice hasn't gone
away. Here's an example they point to there are currently
2000 Spare tanks sitting unused in this California desert. Even
though the army didn't ask for it. Last year, lawmakers snuck
in an extra $40 million to upgrade some of the tanks they
are made at this factory in Lima, Ohio and Congressman Jim
Jordans district. He said he had no time for an interview. So we
tracked him down Why is Congress still funding this programme?
We think that the you know the the army needs tanks the army
says they're gonna need them in the future. And the idea was,
are we going to actually shut down a facility the one place in
the country the one place in the country so
put together tanks Do you
think this helps save jobs? I think it's I think it's a good
policy. And David This fight has been going on for years but
lawmakers say it would simply be too expensive to shut down the
plant only to restart it later. David
as the tank sit there tonight in that desert Mary thing
What a waste it was you go pick up a few a tank I can always
just always room for an extra tank. Always. I bought a thank
you very much. Thank you very much.
No, thank you.
Thank you and thank you to all the producers. I reminder, we do
have another show on Sunday. Remember us at the
vortec.org/and A. We can always use your help. Always Always.
Yes, always you should help
should be down from the for 20 high and you may be getting
money back from the government you might want to think of no
agenda.
Yeah. Always a good idea. Alright, mom, we'll try and keep
our feet dry powder dry here in the crackpot condo skyscraper in
downtown Austin, the 63rd floor something
like that. 16th I can imagine the 63 storey building in ASO
