Want to go for a ride in the flivver Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, May 1 2016. And time once again for your gizmo nation
media assassination episode eight to one. This is no agenda,
battling bits bytes and LTE provisioning, broadcasting live
from the capital of the Gitmo nation, lowlands Amsterdam in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where I have no such
troubles and I'm constantly
the worst opening ever from my end.
Sorry about that happened.
Now.
It's been it's been a horrible day. Judge. It's been a
horrible, horrible day. Yeah, yeah. Can you talk into the mic?
That would really help.
I'm right on them. Okay, if I was any closer to the mic, I'd
be behind it. Okay.
Well, it's always interesting how whenever we want to start
the show, things start to break down. So here I am in still on
the SS floppy on the poop deck and in the canals of Amsterdam.
poop deck of the Plop Yeah, on the poop deck of the of SS plop.
Exactly. And it's been it started off great today.
Beautiful weather, of course, the last day when we're leaving
the day that I have to work, but beautiful weather. And I saw I
start prepping around noon, it would give me six hours before
the show starts.
And about seems like way too much time but okay.
Well, typically I work Saturday night, and then get up early
Sunday morning. And the work another four hours. So it's a
it's about right about six hours did prep for the rest of the
earlier in the week. And about 1225 The internet goes out but
both networks on the boat. So I'm like, Okay, well, I can
always do this, this T Mobile thing again. And I can't get the
because you have to buy you have to buy a high speed bandwidth.
Check this out. 100 megabytes 100 megabytes, which is about 15
minutes of the show it maybe we could get away with 30 minutes
of the show. That would be that's $20 for one game, one
gigabyte, but check this out. You can't buy so I said well,
why don't you give me give me 10 of those. I got a show to do I
got a new bandwidth now. Now you have to wait until you use up
the 100 megabits, and then you'll get a text message and
then you can order another 100 megabits and you can start over
again. The problem is that it never provisioned it never got
through it worked on didn't even get the first 100 meg No, no,
it's I've been on the phone with them. And then yeah, and the
owner of the boat who's not even in the country and I'm trying to
find people who have access to any network anywhere on the
canal. Tina has got sprint we're calling up sprint to like, yeah,
you got high speed data button. Yeah, you can't use hotspot
because you need CDMA for that. Which by the way, I don't
understand why you need CDMA. If you have high speed data, what
difference is the hotspot make for CDMA? That sounds that
sounds like it's all crap. That sounds like bullshit.
It sounds like bullcrap. Yeah. As you're working and you're in
Europe on a Sunday, you expect things to work they there's
nobody wants to work, no lievable
they were not interested at all not interested in hell for me.
And I didn't sleep a lot. Because last night, we had the
big family gathering it was Tiffany and her husband Guido
and her son and then Willow and you know we do well we'd like to
say Guido is to fuck with them. Then there's then there's a
Tiffany from from Italy of course with Alessandro, the
actor, comedian director jack of all trades and their two kids
and I get a bit art Yeah, easily he has two shows now in Italy
two shows as a running one is like a sitcom that he's writing
producing, directing and starring in and some blooper
show. Yeah, typical funny web videos. Valentina. So of course
this was a trial by fires was Tina's introduction into the
into the family and Bob have a fantastic Of course, I knew that
would be great. And but then we got home and I was just in time
to start listening to the I guess it was just the the White
House Correspondents Dinner had just started and was those
around midnight my time. So I stayed up to listen to a lot of
this and to get clips and so it's been rough. I don't want to
complain too much. Okay, but that's kind of sucked. I did
learn a lot though. John, you want to talk about some things
I've learned or?
Yes, I would. This is what I was hoping to hear right off the
top. Okay.
Well, first of all, I hung out We went to see Lex and his
Iranian wife Fatima Lex with the Warhols and the Lichtenstein's
the big collection. You right the art guy? Yeah, the art guy,
my my old boss. And his wife had just returned from a two week
trip to Tehran. And he said, Ah, Adam, I knew you were coming so
I have stuff to tell you that great All right now we're going
to learn so How's everybody feeling? What do you guys think
about watermelon head Karis is no one gives a shit about that.
No one cares in Tehran is like you have no idea. She brought
back magazines, just new popular magazines about fashion and
music. And there are women in these magazines and on the
covers, no scarf, no headgear whatsoever. She says it's
changing drastically right now. Said it's really. It always used
to be the banal, but it was really suppressed for a while
she said this. We haven't seen this in a long time. She says
it's been decades interesting this decades. And, and I see
this all all over Iran. Now. This is really Tehran, where,
you know, most kids, you know, the 20 years old and she said,
You know, we've got iPhones and everything but the now the lack
of the headscarves and it appears that the, you know, the
Mulas they don't care anymore. They're way too busy with making
money as it was her which is probably what they've always
been too busy dealing with. Now they're not even suppressing the
people that much. I also learned that a billion dollar trade has
opened up since the lifting of some sanctions, and this is one
of them. And I did not know that Iran is the largest one of if
not one of the largest producer of pistachio nuts.
Yeah, pistachio nuts and saffron are two of their big
moneymakers.
Yeah, so now the pistachios, apparently, you know, there was
a shortage because of because of the Iranian sanctions.
Now we're going to be swamped with nuts.
Yeah. And Jen. Yes. You've had these huge bags and nuts that
she had brought back her it was, it was
pretty. Do you know that pistachio nuts are naturally
toxic to most mammals? No, I didn't know that. Really? Yeah.
So toxic. It's actually a toxic nut. That somehow over the eons,
the human species has managed to adapt as to be able to eat it in
the first place. Otherwise it'd be dropping dead.
Hmm. No, I didn't know. Yeah. Well, we had a few that were
delicious.
They're delicious. Everybody loves the pistachio in ice
cream. And oh, yeah. Oh, man.
And these knots when you have these are? I guess then I guess
there are not roasted they roasted there must be roasted or
not. If you eat into pistachios, yeah, they're cooked. Yeah, but
there was still they still had the red. The red on the eye. It
was a different color than I was used to, I guess. Now, of
course, it was taxi. Eric who who took us there. Taxi. Eric,
as you know, he's the man of the street. So he knows what's going
on. And he was pointing out he says, what has been happening
here in the Netherlands is they have gone full tilt trying to
pull the country out of you know, the they have it's it's
depressed here. I mean, the the economy has no economy. The
economy was Russia, you know, Russian oil and gas products.
And you know, there's already the farm products can go there.
So there's all kinds of issues, and they're trying to kickstart
the economy with huge infrastructure. It's John, they
have bridges, they're building on one side putting on wheels
rolling over for a new highway, they're building new highways
next to highways that looked pretty new to me. Just pouring
the money in there building an underwater parking garage in
Amsterdam, under the canals. This this is this is a lot of
money's going into this.
So a lot of construction going on. It is the only sector
supposed to right old fashioned notion, or the old fashioned
economic notion about saving yourself during a depression is
to build
now and that's and that's what struck me as well as we heard
President Obama talking about this and from time to time we
hear like I Feinstein or someone will say hey, we really need to
put some more money in at some point we had the shovel ready
jobs or whatever, some money went somewhere but for But
shouldn't we be continuing that? I mean, is that still a system
that works? I don't know if the Dutch even believe it
themselves, but the money certainly going in?
Yeah, well, I mean, this what we're doing around here, right
to drive it into San Francisco is unbelievable. It's like just
construction projects everywhere.
Yeah. I guess in a way. Yeah. But is it municipality money? Is
it city money or is it in private money?
Looks like city money to me. Okay. Yeah, well, that would
work that
everybody I spoken to every single person when I say you
know, hey, the terrorist A tax you know, pretty close to home.
Everyone says, oh, yeah, we're just waiting for it to happen
here. We know what's going to happen. And they're, they're
blase about a jar
is good. That's actually good. Yeah, that I got. It's
unavoidable.
We know it'll be our turn soon. Okay, well, whatever. Quite
remarkable. We took a boat tour. And I was so we'd been to the
Rijksmuseum to see the Nightwatch. Of course, the wind
and Amsterdam you have to see that. And we said, Well, it
sounds like a canal boat. And across the Rijksmuseum you have
canal boats. I said the guy which is the best tour, he said,
Well, really, since there's nobody, not a lot of people here
today, why don't you get on the boat that has the it's an open
boat with only 12 seats in the captain. But it'll probably just
be you guys. And so there was one other couple and so we went
around. And this meant John, I could do this. This is a this is
I might have to do it. But this is a career for me. This is
perfect. Yes. He's got an electric boat floating around
just telling stories. Like it's really great. You know how the
Dutch people the Amsterdam vav put his water we control is so
great. He's so smart. He took me past my old house and was
talking about boats in the canal. As of 2018. Only electric
boats in the canals, no more diesel, nothing else. No
outboard motors only unless it's electric.
Ah, yeah, that's pretty extreme.
It is. And it kind of coincides with the mission of the country.
I think we talked about it before. And it's it's not the
mandate yet, but it is certainly being discussed of making the
entire country an E vehicle country by 2020, which is four
years away. And that's why and I know we've talked about this
before, Amsterdam is filled with Tesla's filled with them. Every
street has one or two Tesla's with their own private charging
station. And so I looked into it got the full details now. But if
you want to if you want your own parking spot in Amsterdam,
there's a list it's about five years waiting period to get a
parking spot near your house if you are a resident of Amsterdam,
but if you buy an electric vehicle, and of course a lot of
the people who live on these canals can easily afford a Tesla
the the government the council municipality puts in a charging
station at no cost for you. And as far as I know part of the
cost of the electricity is even subsidized and you can get a
Tesla You of course you can get it about these other e cars
there's a new yep
but also the smart cars they're smart cars that are e vehicles
and yeah, like the BMW like the eye three and there's there's
all kinds of in cars around one of those Yeah, a couple of
mansions. You look it's stupid. Well, the Tesla's not that much
better.
Well, the s I think is an attractive car.
It's an attractive car, but it's not really you have cab drivers
driving around them. It's not really a handy car.
Now Hello, hello. That illusion. Yeah. No,
I got you. I hear you again. Okay.
Well, it's saying was it the test is a big car
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on. Just write down a time for
that.
Say again, the Tesla
it's a cycle of some sort. This Tesla is a Tesla S is is a big
car. For those roads.
It is it's a long car for those roads, but as a cab it's not
really super functional. I don't think
that's too big. Yeah, well, and even the new one the X is still
too big. Maybe the three if they ever make them might be okay.
But I'd get it so one of the other cars I mean, a leaf would
be as nice small car to have
Yeah, the leaf the I have
not seen any leaves. I think there's a Peugeot electric
guitar a guitar I'd like to get people have electric guitar
parking. Peugeot and I think there's a no that's definitely
French electric cars running around
those aren't over here
and see what else Oh, and we got we got paparazzi that was pretty
funny.
Finally Yeah, big. ASOs could have called me and I would have
given them the good
you know someone's making at least 500 bucks off of it. It's
easy money, John easy money. I can probably get you a number
you can just call them
give me some numbers and I got some shots. Yeah, I bet you do.
And of course I got the lowdown from Willow Italy as she says
it's a shit. It's a hellhole. 55% tax. He says 40%
unemployment Everything's at a standstill. It's it's crap. And
what was apparent with both my sisters? You think the media
reporting is poor on they'll just take someone as an example,
Donald Trump in the United States, when that ship gets
watered down and translated into Dutch or Italian. It's like, you
can't even utter the name. You can't even start with a did did.
You are gonna say Donald, where you? It's unbelievable. I mean,
I don't I we actually argued for a little bit like, Come on, man.
Yeah, I'm your brother listening
to the show. Oh, yeah, of course.
She got busy. Yet. She has stuff to do. Yeah,
it's risky.
It is risky. It is risky. Yeah. So you know, so this morning,
it's like five o'clock and I slept a couple hours and was
listening to the repeat of and I'd made the mistake of cruising
by the Reddit the no agenda in the morning subreddit. It really
makes me not want to do the show when I read that.
Oh, it's just a bunch of those people are useless.
Now, but it's disturbing. It's disturbing. It's always the same
thing that people are just complaining about us so called
defending Trump. You know,
it's like, you know, that we've ever defended Trump. Oh,
we've that's but you spend 15% of the time on Trump said yeah,
there's 50% more media coverage of him. Hello, we deconstruct
media when a mainstream media panel. Oh, let's talk about
Bernie, what do you think his chances are? That's kind of what
we do. Some
people have this idea some people want us to do. Yeah, no,
that's what a lot of people want us to do. That that's not what
we do. And that's not what we do. Never gonna have. It's ah,
I mean, if we were going to do that we just go work for some
commercial operation actually make some serious money. Thank
you.
You know, it's like, well, I know he's on vacation. But you
know, you should have done this or should have done that of Gee,
I don't understand what this and I'm like, Yeah, I'm I'm it's
crazy. I'm on vacation. Yeah, my girlfriend has two weeks of
vacation the whole year spinning with her, but I'm still going to
work. Yeah, and it's like you get that grief.
Well back. Let's back up a minute because you didn't get
really finished your thoughts on the paparazzi.
Okay, well,
my thoughts on the paparazzi.
Where were they? Okay, catch. Okay, what Tina think,
oh, that's the these are the right questions. So we're parks
are moored right by a bridge. And so we're on the deck and you
know, it's beautiful, sunny weather, although cold. And
we're gonna go for a walk and we start going across the bridge.
And I see the lens and like, this guy's like, you know, and
he's moving around. He's, I mean, he's so brazen. He's
switching lenses. He's switching, switching lenses.
Hey, cheapskate, get a good zoom lens to cover all the bases.
So I had, I had my umbrella. And I run towards him waving the
umbrella I have he sent me the picture of it. I have to send it
to you. Cuz I'm like, I'm gonna beat you over the head. And so
he goes away and then we turn around, we walk back into
another guy sitting between the cars. He's like, Hey, I don't
like fuck you. Okay, so we go back in. And now but this whole
wag walked back over the bridge to answer your question, Tina,
you know, she's never witnessed this. She's, you know, this is
new to her. And so all I could do is I just keep your chin up.
Just smile. Keep smiling. Just keep your chin up. Just whatever
you do. Don't stop smile. The minute you frown. The minute
you've had I'm doing this smile. The minute you frown. That's the
shot it's gonna be Tina unhappy and Amsterdam so keep you Okay,
keep keep smile.
Exactly.
Yeah, plastered smile look good. Yeah, wink.
Now she looked dynamite. She had this she's had the sunglasses
on. So that looked good. I really hope they use that
picture of me waving my umbrella at the camera. It's it's like a
Sean Penn moment. I'll send it to you guys send it to me. So
that was pretty funny. That's pretty funny. Here it is.
Newsletter. I'll send them all to send me like a bunch of
shots. Yes. And that's and that's the twisted thing. It's
like he's he's stalking me takes pictures. And then we transfer.
Turns out Hey, Adam thought you'd like to see the pictures.
It's a silly world. It's a silly silly world. It's
very funny.
And and then my phone rings. Like yes. Because I see I see a
number of Dutch number but I not a recognizable number. Yeah,
Adam. Yeah. This is a Shall we so from story. Yeah, we just got
some great. I'm telling you. We we just left this scene. And
she's on The phone Hey, you want to talk and do interviews? And
no? Am I gonna do an interview with you? So just give me some
quotes. Just give me some quotes. Are you happy? Like why
she is right? We just write something you guys write
something nice. Do you please I need to quote now. No, I'm not
gonna do that by hanger. And then then then that woman called
Christina. Because we saw as Christina was at the dinner too,
of course. And this is Hey, Christina. Hey, your dad's in
town and with his new girlfriend Christine's like, yeah, so.
Yeah, but is he happy? It is none of your business. Not not
my business. Stop bothering me. And then of course, he's like,
so what do you think about Mickey and a clique? Christina
hangs up. Then later the afternoon, right? Late in the
afternoon.
What I have here,
buddy was another one. No, that was actually when Christina came
for the dinner. So Christina sitting here said, Hey, there's
someone waving at you. So I looked behind me. Like a not
unattractive woman standing there waving at me. And she
looked kind of like a like a Russian. Yeah, like, kind of
long blonde hair. I'm like, All right, I'll bite. But I have to
go out on the deck. Go around, walk to the other side of the
boat. Hey, Adam. I'm sorry to bother you that? Yeah. Listen,
I'm from the weekend. And I just wanted to ask you a couple. It's
a no, no. TVO sorry.
Is that a TV show? No, no,
it's also a magazine. That and while I'm doing this, she's got
some guy in a moped over in the corner taking pictures. It was
it was a little a little busy. Little What did Tina think?
Well, she
thought it was pretty surreal. You'd have to ask her. You know,
it was surreal. What I think she thinks I think that she's happy
that the pictures that we saw if those the one they publish are
nice, that's all you know what they're gonna do? And bindi has,
you know, the she already knew which is I was gonna push up.
No, no, no,
no, you could do that. Oh, would you I'd Photoshop you sure you
look like you had a stroke?
No, they're gonna make it they're gonna make it look
happy. They I think the way they'll do it is they'll get one
of those pictures of Patricia where you know where she she's
frowning looking down with the collar up high. And the abdomen
Tina in Amsterdam, Patricia. Sad. Something like that. That's
what they do.
That would work. Yeah, just to get her go and shoot. Come back
with some material. Yeah, that's good play.
Anyway, so I'm very happy that we're going to Paris tomorrow
because well, there's this news report,
the city of Paris is preparing for the worst case scenario and
epic catastrophic 100 year flood that could decimate the region.
Managers and emergency workers are anticipating what would
happen if the River Seine burst its banks experts believe if
Paris experienced 100 year floods, major landmarks and
boulevards would be inundated and flooded with water more than
1 million people wouldn't be without power heat and safe
drinking water.
What was that? Huh?
That sounds fantastic for you.
infrastructure such as bridges, subways and communication
networks would all be severely damaged emergency workers say
raising public awareness is essential the population
of Paris without a doubt has progressively moved away from a
culture of risk it does not always take into account the
gravity it is not always aware but we know that this risk of a
major flood which is a risk that will have serious consequences
will certainly occur in unpredictable number of years
emergency flood drill will run for about two weeks and workers
from across France yeah and across Europe. Exactly.
Exactly. Exactly. But this they're really out there scaring
the citizens John do you what did I find? It was a couple of
things
it'll be beautiful well
listen to this listen to Belgium. Blaming the place will
be beautiful if there was a flood in Paris.
Now it's not gonna flood there.
Nobody's crap. Oh even when we go there the place beautiful. Of
course. Of course. Yeah. However, we will be taking the
what is the the name of the train? TGV? No, not the TG
tissue of a no the the other one the have the app for
the right the other one they the fat alleys?
tallies. Yeah, exactly the tallies, so the tallies goes
through? Either Antwerp and Brussels or just Brussel.
Brussels. And this report is all over. The news here about
Brussels,
Belgium is to supply iodine pills to all 11 million
inhabitants to help protect against radioactivity in the
event of a nuclear accident.
The whole country 11 million people iodine pills John, think
about it. We need to get our iodine like the seed man get our
iodine going now we can still blank it the Netherlands. We can
have no agenda Adam curry approved iodine
Well, you've got to you've got to name there. Yeah,
either Dean hell curry
curry. Hi, me I'm Adam curry. I taught you how to say Madonna
properly. Now I'm going to save your life with my iodine pills.
And with your order now rebounder pills
accident, IOD in helps reduce radiation buildup in the thyroid
gland. Previously, the country only gave pills to people living
near to its seven reactors spread over three sites. I've
also done petty method. Before the ID pills were only given to
people living within a perimeter of 20 kilometers. Now we're
going to take measures for people up to 100 kilometers
since the den Porto will provide iodine pills for the whole
country tablet do not repeat. The government says the new
measures take into account reactors in neighboring
countries close to the Belgian border. Earlier this month,
Belgium refused the German request to close down two of its
oldest reactors temporarily because of defects found in
their pressure vessels.
They the implication of course, is there would be a terrorist
attack. And that could be some event and then we all need to be
prepared. I'm not sure the iodine is really going to save
everybody though.
Unbelievable. It's just gearing a hole.
It sounds to me like you're completely nuts. It's
it's kind of what I said it everyone is has just been
hammered down, you know, with like, like they've all been hit
with a rubber hammer. Everyone's just depressed and just kind of
waiting for something to happen. And there's, you know, be we go,
man talk about the, you know, the the referendum they had with
the for the against the Ukraine Association Agreement with the
EU. And, you know, the law is very clear that the Prime
Minister has to make a decision one way or the other. And what
he's saying or Brussels are saying is, well, instead of
saying you know, we won't do it at all, maybe we can change it a
little bit make everybody more happy. But the law for this
referendum specifically is incredibly clear. And so now
they're the same people who held the referendum has filed a
lawsuit, because the Prime Minister, according to the law
has to make a decision to either take the referendum as advice
and say, Okay, we're not going to ratify the UN as only country
which in EU law, or procedure maybe would mean that if not all
28 member states ratified then it's not ratified. But they're
now saying, Well, you know, we can always start going and what
you guys figure your stuff out, you catch up later. If and the
people are not stupid, they get it but now they're just blase is
not the word. The word I'm looking for jaded, jaded, jaded
of death
or whatever.
That's that is the vibe that people are still happy but these
are the people who you know I talked to Mike and we went to
Thursday night we were lucky enough to find one restaurant
open because that wasn't done done until 1030 Quarter 11 And
everything was closed. And this lady was just closing the
kitchen she's been there for 30 years she's Oh Adam I come on
and look I closed the kitchen but I still have some leftovers
and it was dynamite and but she fed us a crazy balmy and we had
the prawn crisps. Bin and then she had the you know the was the
Indonesian cake that it also has pistachio in it but it's all
natural as green layers and pink layers you ever had that? Yeah
that thing and it goes along with with the leaker that is Bay
haired perfectly
and so you get a good meal there privately.
Yes, yes. You're the owner. Yes. If the owner knew me that's a
benefit Well, the
owner the owner knew you but you know the also is just one of
those things because you're a celebrity Yes,
yes. Oh, hello. Um, Surely you've heard of me my name is
Adam curry and I'm looking for some dinner
I was looking for free food.
Now I paid but she has she's like now she's really happy and
you know, what do you think about what's going on? Oh, I
don't watch television I don't read the newspapers I can't do
it that I make food
I mean way to go it is the way to go. To our producers that get
off that top the television is just a brainwashing tool. And
you just proved it when you said was Willow.
Willow and Tiffany both of them both of them
both they're all sucked in again because you start you go back to
that that well and you just get sucked right in next thing you
know, you're all gonna die.
Exactly. Exactly.
Yeah, though. See, I had one more well, just a little
updates. Italy as I as I mentioned earlier, you know,
they're a mess. Then now they're being pressured by by Germany
and by Berlin. And specifically, of course, and Austria, Vienna,
as you know, they're they're closing down borders and they
want to Rome to now take some responsibility for the southern
route, which is now starting to open up and we talked about it
earlier with the Brenner Pass that want to close off. That is
under construction a full on fence.
Germany's interior minister said on Friday that migrants should
no longer be able to get to Northern Europe through the
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia, the so
called Balkan route, he said there was no concern that the
number of refugees coming from Libya along alternative routes
would rise. He says, Jim, I already said in Vienna that it's
clear that the Balkan route is a thing of the past, and no longer
will or should be a place from where people will be waved
through to Germany and Austria, and to the center of Europe. And
he was speaking after a meeting with his Austrian counterpart,
as work continued on a border fence. So the Austrian side of
the Alpine Brenner paths crossing to isolate, the
Austrian minister said the fence would send a clear message, it
can build and stay there once be the image of a seal off. He
says, rather, this is a clear signal that if the 200,000 to 1
million people waiting in Libya, to travel north start moving, we
will be in a position to effectively close this border.
The measure was necessary to prevent the Brenner Pass,
turning into a major corridor from migrants looking to reach
Northern Europe after arriving to Italy through the
Mediterranean.
There you go. Just keeps on thinking about. Yeah, I was
thinking about this.
You know, China has more than one, they have two or three or
four these things, ghost cities, yes, that are equipped to, for
to do have at least one, two, maybe 3 million people.
I hear you. This is better than my Wyoming idea.
You take these cities already built. And they're a lot of them
are kind of deteriorating because they don't have anybody
there to maintain them. So you get weeds, pick out Symphony
halls, they got grocery, they got shopping malls, they got all
these stores closed, everything's closed, because
there's nobody living there. There's a maybe maybe 10,000
people in one of these cities that say, but you could take one
of these cities and designated as the little you know, Syria
and make people sign certain documents you can't you know,
become radicalized. Yeah. And just take the entire million of
these people and put them in one of these cities. And if there's
another million there's still room. Yeah, sounds like
Well, it seems like there's some infrastructure that's needed. I
mean, is food gonna magically appear?
I think in China, yeah.
Okay. That's it. The Chinese are trying to, you know, doesn't
sound very practical. John doesn't sound very passionate.
It's very proud. There's
a million people. How do you get you gotta fly a million people
to China? Take a walk. Okay. All right. Yeah. We need about
everybody. So, I'm gonna get one more pet peeve off my chest. And
then we're done. Then we can move into some stuff because you
got you. Thank God, you overcompensated love it. With
clips that is Zika Zika Zika. I'd like to. Yeah, I'd like to
review one more time that this Zika bill, which we dissected
was a four or five episodes ago now. For
it's funny, because I have the perfect clip for what you're
going to talk about about five, four episodes when it first
broke out. And when that bill was first proposed the 1.91
point 8 billion. Yeah, you went.
Right. And that was the $1.9 billion is what tipped me off,
because that is the Ebola money. And the problem is that more of
$1.9 billion, in addition to the I think it was 4 billion we
already have was pledged by all these NGOs and organizations,
but wasn't paid up, including the Google boys in the Silicon
Valley Investing Club for 25 million and all these different
little, little places, and it adds up. And then it's $1.9
billion. But where it's going to is to have the Dutch Army going
over here to National Institutes of Health, you know that their
r&d budgets, it's not going to go solve of Zika or save people.
Yes, it's going to local NGO NGOs. But that's not like a huge
medical staff necessarily. You know, we look at the list. I'll
I'll put the list in the show notes again. And so that's why
it really irked me and I had when I heard Marco Rubio on the
floor of the Senate with the following
weeks ago. I wasn't went back to floor On a Friday, and I sat
down and met with officials from the Department of Health from
Florida, leaders from the health sector, I met with doctors that
live in Miami Dade County and also officials with Miami Dade
County, I'm going to their freaked out about the Zika
thing. I don't know any other term to use it.
Who the freaked out about the Zika thing, man, if they're
really for example,
then I'm very concerned about it as well. And that's why I do
support fully and immediately funding this situation. And I've
asked our colleagues to do so as quickly as possible. I can only
speak I want to speak briefly about the Florida experience
with this. And there's two things that are deeply
concerning. And then I'll speak about some of the things we
should be doing get ready for a job. First, the summer months
are upon us anyone has been in Florida in the summer,
particularly summer has already started basically in Florida, if
you go outside the spread of mosquitoes as a threat virtually
everywhere in the state is just massive. It's just a way of
life. And the notion that there is this very deadly disease that
we're still learning about by the way Yeah, just a few weeks
ago. What
is a deadly deadly I mean it's it's it will look great birth
defects, but that's that's different deadly means that
kills you.
Thank you. This is another specifically yes, they deadly
musical. Yes, people because people are now talking about
Zika as if it's Ebola. It's very subtle, but it's happening. And
Rubio is right up front with its deadly you can die now we know.
There is a I'm in his way. There is a call. Yes. Probably the
state of Florida for sure. There's a correlation between I
should probably look that up and tell you exactly how much the
state of Florida is getting. There's a correlation between
micro, microcephaly and and Zika. But it's, yeah, people can
die from things. But you can you die from pneumonia
and that there is this very deadly
I died recently. Yeah, I believe it was Puerto Rico from
supposedly rare complications. Generally speaking Zika. Of
course, I'll get letters again on this because everyone's fall
mosquitoes are the same. Yeah, all mosquitoes are the same.
Which is not true for us. This disease when it was first
discussed ever, and it's been around since the 40s. That known
since the 1952
is the Rockefeller Foundation
52. And you know, it's been around before then. Yeah. Okay.
At most mild flu like symptoms, mostly No, no symptoms
whatsoever. And there's still the argument about the
larvicides. So
well, you can't be right, because I just heard the senator
from the great state of Florida say that it's deadly, and we're
still learning about it.
And the notion that there is this very deadly disease that
we're still learning about,
but I mean, seriously, is very deadly disease. But we're still
learning about that we're learning about the part that
maybe it's not so deadly remarkable.
The notion that there is this very deadly disease that we're
still learning about, by the way, right, just a few weeks
ago, they said Zika was Zika only impacts a small population
of people, a very significant population of people. We're
learning that this disease impacts whoever it touches. You
don't have to. First of all, you have to be symptomatic to spread
it stop stop.
I was waiting for it.
What does he say? What kind of brainwashing is this? It only
affects a small portion of the population or a significant
or significant portion of the population. Yeah. He said small
3g
took me so long because I was actually stung. I think Well,
I had to hear it a couple of times. I think what he's saying
is we've heard a lot of things including small piece of the
population a large part of the population that's what I think
he meant think that's what it was. Listen to that again,
said Zika was eco only impacts a small population of people a
very significant population of people. We're learning that this
disease impacts whoever it touches you don't have to first
of all you have to be symptomatic, discredit. There
are multiple ways in Florida alone we've had at least two
cases of transmission sexually transmitted
by sexually transmitted no less sexually transmitted John who to
to hold cases. Yes, stop the presses. Okay, hold on. Hey,
guys. Stop. To stop the presses.
Not depresses to dead from Zika, front page headline go.
There are multiple ways in Florida alone, we've had at
least two cases of transmission, sexually transmitted. By the
way, it's just a matter of time before someone in Florida gets
bit by mosquito. I'm telling you, it's just a matter of days,
weeks, hours, before you'll open up a newspaper turn on the news
and it's going to say someone in the continental United States
was bit by a mosquito and they contracted Zika. And when that
happens, then everyone's going to be freaked out not just me
and not just the people that work for the health department
in Florida. This is going to happen.
Okay, we go to Professor DeVore EC professor in the Biology bio
Biological Sciences. Yes, yes.
Devorah I hear yes. Hello
pressive refers to divorce. Is it over truly only just a matter
of time before someone is bitten by the Zika virus? And against a
mosquito carrying this? Yes, thank you. That's
what I'm saying. Just I would say probably it's probably true.
And then that specific mosquito that carries out viruses in
South Florida. It's in the mostly in the Everglades,
and everyone will be freaking out. He said,
Well, it would be reports like this. Yeah. Everyone's gonna be
freaking out because they're easily freaked out, apparently.
Let's listen to the CBS report.
Well, can I just can I just finish? Can I just finish Marco
for one second?
Oh, yeah. Good. He did finish him. And then I got done. You
gotta listen.
I know, I know, you got to doozy.
There's just way too many mosquitoes to avoid it. The
second is that Miami Dade County in particular, but a lot of
Florida is a transit point for all of Latin America. So for
example, one of the places most impacted by Zika is Brazil.
Well, this summer, there's an Olympics in Brazil, and they are
going to be hundreds of 1000s of people that cross through
Florida get to Brazil and back on top of the normal number of
travelers, it is just a matter of time, it is not a question of
if it is a question of when. So I look at this from the Senate
perspective and say we are going to fund this, we are going to
spend money on Zika in Washington DC number one,
because we should, it is the obligation of the federal
government to keep our people safe. And this is an imminent
and real threat to the public safety and security of our
nation and of our people. So the money is going to be spent. And
the question is, do we do it now? Before this has become a
crisis? Or do we wait for it to become a crisis?
What's so interesting is that he keeps talking about we need to
fund this now we need to fund this now. But it's not.
There's gotta be some deadlines. There's got to do these guys are
in a real hurry to rush this money out.
In but it's not really their money, then you'll recall that
what's really going on is they're collecting they want the
money in. Remember, this is what it's about. They want this is
money owed to the Ebola, save the Ebola victims. That was
pledge has not been paid. And the President had been asking
previously, Hey, come on, guys. You got to step it up. You got
to pay this money. And now they want to transfer the remaining
money to the Zika Protection Fund. But it's a collection that
the Dutch Army Yes. But it's a collection called that's that's
the crazy point.
Well, it's definitely not being it's not being discussed
properly in the news media, in fact,
yes, it is.
It's really disgusted me. This is the Zika report as played out
on CBS. And what you want to listen to is the very last
comment by Scott Pelley who who is it's as if it's almost as if
they I guess they don't know anything. They're just reporting
the superficial facts and everybody's bought completely
and it's like your two sisters. Yeah, whatever, you know, as the
going around as the as the local meme that, that oh, we gotta get
this $1.9 billion. That's a little kicker at the end that
just galled me
tell you a mosquito there will eventually become the first
infected with the Zika virus in the US. Dr. Umar Shaw is in
charge of public health for Harris County, what will happen
the next day after the first case of locally transmitted
Zika,
all of a sudden, people are gonna say, oh, my gosh, but
let's, let's get funding, let's do all these things. But we have
an opportunity to get those resources there and change our
policies today. And yet, we're not thinking about in the same
way. The White House has requested $1.9 billion to fight
Zika and the mosquitoes that carry it, but members of
Congress have left town for a week without providing any
additional funding. And Scott today, the CDC reported that a
patient in Puerto Rico has died from a rare complication of
Zika. Hard to imagine
why there's a delay, doctor, thanks very much.
A rare complication of Zika. Hard to believe there's a delay.
Yes.
unbelievable to me. Oh,
it's not it's not unbelievable to me anymore. This is a bowl
all over again. So we couldn't really have we still to this day
have not seen a person puking and shitting from Ebola. Not
one. I'm not saying it didn't happen. But G think was so bad.
That least we'd have one shot of someone
like this. If you remember the first reports when it first came
out? Well, it's going to be 10,000 Dead every month that is
going to increase an increase of a millions of people with Ebola.
We're all going to die because nothing can stop this. This
disease which has already been portrayed as one of the worst
viruses ever. Yeah, even though I never feared in the world
until the 70s when they were creating these things.
Yeah, came Bethesda You think that's what Zika is? I don't I
don't think so.
No, I don't think Zika is I think zinc is a real a real a
real viruses that not blabbed virus but it's it's just an
opportunistic thing because it showed up with it same time as
this encephalitis and stuffily. And, of course, there's still
the larvicide, which is known to cause this problem that's kind
of been dropped out of the conversation a lot have no
agenda, right? Or the producers write us little notes talking
about that now, and that's still up for grabs, and nobody wants
to ever because she would be blaming, you know, Monsanto,
whoever makes this stuff, you can't do that. It just seemed
like a good opportunity. Doesn't because it's, it's, it's people
it's an opportunistic thing with this virus. And then the 1.9
billion it's a lot of my money is
yes, it's a lot of money.
Staying with with vaccines for a moment, and I definitely will
put that the Zika PDF I'll put that back into the or make a
copy in the show notes for today. So we had another a
bombing of Doctors Without Borders, hospital. And and
banner ads. You have it you got to clearly Hello. That is what
is winning a great John John Johnson Stopstopstop to be
dropped out. Hold on 4656 I'll say hey, you got some clips and
you'll pick it up. You got some clips to the hospital?
Not the new one. I have to I have the results of the
investigation. Oh, the old one with some analysis. That's
dynamite.
Good because I have questions about Doctors Without Borders as
it relates to vaccines in a moment. So do we need to leave
it on this you want to do this now?
Well, it depends I mean, well okay.
Well you know, we come back into it we come back into it I'll
tell you why. I'm so I see this doctors that borders we have
another hospital there's been bombed been you know 2020
servicemen women personnel had been the disciplined because it
was a huge cock up. And you know, whatever they're gonna say
it was not a war crime because hey, you know, we had the wrong
coordinate than we had the radio didn't work with the
communication that's out. What
that's that's the old bombing. This is the new one. This is no
new one bombing is just finished and that all those things that
you concluded was part of that final 300 page report or 3000
page report?
That wasn't part of the new one. No, I don't think so. Okay, I
could I could be completely wrong but but even if it's the
old one find too you know, so is this Doctors Without Borders
organization and of course you know, I go search searching
around but you only have to put in Doctors Without Borders. I
know CIA and you get enough this is really impossible to figure
out what may be going on. But they they're not just a bunch of
doctors who go and go out and and help people in troubled
areas. They're also a lobbying group. And and what are they
really? I mean, did you know that they lobby for vaccinate
for vaccines Hello
pretty went up the hospital Hold
on You dropped you dropped out again. My question was Yeah, I
don't know if I can call you back. I don't know what's going
to help
Yeah, okay.
All right. So I didn't know where you were but I was asking
upset Did you know that they were a lobbying group?
Yeah, I know. We're good if you just bring that up again. Okay.
Did you know that their lobbying group
I this whole thing with the with the AC 130 pummeling that one
hospital, and I've got some clips that kind of indicate it
was an illegal act action anyway, whether it was a
hospital or not? Yeah, I knew they were a lobbying group.
Because by coincidence a day before the most recent bombing,
Doctors Without Borders, were protesting the price of
pneumonia vaccines. And then they're protesting Pfizer's
headquarters. But I don't understand. It isn't pneumonia.
Isn't that a It's a condition? It's not it's not a virus. It's
not a disease? Is it?
No, there's a there's a number of elements that cause
pneumonia. Okay, like
I knew Michael was a new marker cold pneumococcal pneumococcal
disease. Yeah. You need a vaccine for that.
They have vaccines for it, but they seem to be there's so many
little guys that cause Yeah, yeah, vaccines are only
partially only partially work. Yeah, just dying. understand
just first certain type of virus that you might get. I just found
it. I found to be a little bizarre
Well, let's play the this is the hospital bombing analysis zero.
This the background of this, I believe ran on CBS and it gives
us the story as it emerged in the mainstream media as told by
the mainstream media. As a all we screwed up and it was there
was just a whole bunch of mistakes that were made. And,
you know, nobody really got oops, criminal action. Oops,
oops. Well, today
we learned how the US Air Force mistook a hospital in
Afghanistan last October for an enemy hideout. 42 people were
killed in an airstrike on the charity hospital that's run by
Doctors Without Borders. DAVID MARTIN reports 16 service
members are being punished but none faces criminal charges. The
3000 Page investigation into the destruction of the hospital
details a series of mistakes and miscommunications, whose only
excuse was the fog and fatigue of war. The report called the
strike by the devastating firepower of an AC 130 Gunship,
a disproportional response to a threat that did not exist. The
actions of the American commander who called in the
strike, and the aircraft commander who carried it out,
were not reasonable under the circumstances. Your General
Joseph Votel, the overall commander of the war in
Afghanistan, said the litany of human error did not in his
opinion, add up to criminal negligence.
There was no intention on any of their parts to take a shortcut,
and they were attempting to do the right thing. Unfortunately,
they, they they made a wrong judgment in this particular
case, and ended up targeting this Doctors Without Borders
facility.
The gunship was given the coordinates of a government
building taken over by Taliban fighters, but it's targeting
systems zeroed in on an open field instead, the air crew
picked out the closest building that resembled the one they were
supposed to hit and unwittingly targeted the hospital. But they
were not certain and kept radioing the commander on the
ground, looking for clarification on the building to
be struck. The ground commander who could not see the target
from his position, gave the go ahead, and according to the
investigation, willfully violated the rules of
engagement. rounds away the aircraft reported firing the
first of 211 rounds. Some of the 16 officers and men who were
disciplined were relieved of command and given letters of
reprimand that will end their careers. families of the victims
receive payments of 6000 or $3,000, depending on whether
their family member was killed or wounded. Doctors Without
Borders called the punishments inadequate when compared to the
deaths of 42 people Scott
sounds legit to me, John.
All right now there's a couple of very interesting anomalies
not to mention the fact that the US says that they were there for
a half an hour and the Doctors Without Borders say that this
plane was circling in went on for a couple hours for an hour
and a half. Yeah. Now how do you even in a half an hour you know
those Gatling guns Alright, even though the machine guns I'm not
sure what armaments they have but one side of that that ship
is shipped that plane is just loaded with, with gear to shoot
with. So you're there for half an hour and you and you, you get
this equipment, this modern equipment and you manage to get
off 211 rounds. What doesn't say these things shoot like 200
rounds a minute are much better. So
that's the that's the a 10 that has that huge Gatling gun. This
is the seal that
they tend to write no, but these things we've got machine guns
are very armors the AC 130 Is is a giant plane that circles and
shoots like crazy and it's not going to shoot 211 rounds and a
half an hour seem to let alone an hour and a half. What's the
dude shoot one every couple of boom, boom.
This I really don't know, ever. I really don't know what what
they what they carry.
Well, you can look it up while you play this clip, which is the
this is the that got an expert to come into PBS. And he brings
in some new information that I didn't know anything about. And
let's play a clip one.
For more on the military's investigation and the mistakes
that were made. We turned to veteran Pentagon correspondent
Jamie McIntyre. He's now with the Washington Examiner and an
occasional special correspondent for The news hour. Jamie, when
we first started reporting the story when it happened in
October, the narrative was that US forces or Afghan forces were
under attack and that this air cover was there in almost a
defensive capacity, but the report paints a different
picture.
That's right. This is a really important point. How are you
because unlike in Iraq, where US airstrikes are routinely helping
forces on the ground conduct offensive operation missions in
Afghanistan. That's not supposed to be the case. Combat
officially ended in Afghanistan at the end of 2014. So us
airstrikes are limited to just three very specific instances,
protecting us troops on the ground, going after remnants of
al Qaeda and protecting Afghan forces if they're in danger of
being overrun and slaughtered. Now, the commander on the ground
said he did this because his forces were under fire. But what
the report shows is that they were nowhere near this building,
they weren't taking fire. In fact, he called in the airstrike
in order to help the Afghan forces who were going to launch
a raid on this government building while the Taliban was
held up. So this tragic accident, which has a whole
series of factors involved, never would have happened if the
commander on the ground had not exceeded his authority in
calling in that airstrike. So essentially, to soften up the
target so Afghan forces could mountain offensive that's not
something US troops supposedly were doing.
They have it was an illegal move again.
105 millimeter Howard's or the M 102. Which is what four inches.
Those are pretty big. Yeah, that's
just shooting that one gun, I guess to win or lose a
possibility. And you wouldn't
even you wouldn't need more than 200 to flatten the building with
those. They also have let me see. No, no, that's the biggest
thing. Well, of course, they also have Hellfires, but it
didn't they said round, so they didn't say Hellfires. But yeah,
there's 20 millimeter cannon, 40 millimeter. And then the
Howitzer seems like most of them have the howitzer, but not all
of them. I don't know which model this was.
Okay, well, let's go to hospital bombing analysis to
Alright, so let's talk about this series of errors that led
to this tragedy. First, Doctors Without Borders has said,
Listen, we tell everyone in the battle theater exactly where our
locations are. The military has this list. But it looks like
this flight took off without that list to begin with.
Yeah, there's no question that this was a protected site that
was not supposed to be here, it was on a no strike list. But as
in any accident or mishap like this, there's a whole series of
things that go wrong,
he's not going to tell me that they took off and forgot the
list, which is apparently a piece of paper says after
they're gonna tell me, please, please say and so you interrupt
that chain at any point, the bad thing doesn't happen. And this
one started when the AC 130 gunship took off in what he
thought was an emergency mission to go help some US troops on the
ground. Turned out they didn't have to, they were on their way
back. They because of that they took off early did not have the
no strike list loaded into their plane, oh, also were then
threatened by a shoulder fired missile from the ground that
caused him to divert,
I will say the no strike list, that may be something they
sideload they don't want to transmit it. But still, it seems
like something you could probably at least have an older
version of
threatened by a shoulder fired missile from the ground that
caused them to divert their course the sack, their radio
antenna and satellite radio didn't work. So they couldn't
get updated information. As you said in your report, the when
they came back, they were at a different angle, the targeting
system pointed them to an empty field. And then they made the
really fatal mistake. And that was to try to identify the
target visually on the ground based on the description that
they had. And they simply confused the hospital building
for this government compound that was about a quarter mile
away. And you know, once they thought that was the target,
they were they were convinced they were locked on to it. And
they began really withering fire from the air that lasted almost
a half an hour.
And this is based off of a description they're getting from
someone who's on the ground, not next to the hospital or next to
where the fighting allegedly was happening, but several
kilometers away.
Yeah, they were nine kilometers away. And that's what another
violent you know, normally, you have to have eyes on the target.
There's somebody on the ground called a JTAG join tactical air
control spotter, who's spotting the target, they're supposed to
have eyes on the target. What the report found was nobody had
eyes on the target, not the Afghans, not the Americans. And
of course, the crew of the plane didn't either and this by the
way is a very fearsome weapon this AC 130 Gunship, it's a
modified ac 130 C 130 aircraft with a series of cannons out the
left side it circles the target and just rains shells down on
the target it can really do damage to to target and that's
what happened here.
Yeah, this sounds like Yeah,
I know this doesn't sound like 211 either,
but it also doesn't sound like a plausible store hearing
fire for a half an hour's not 211 shots.
No Okay. i I agree but he's the makes the point that it's a
pretty fierce aircraft that can do damage. But this Oh, we
forgot the posted note. Yeah, that's not good. Yeah, stick a
day and stick on the dashboard. We'll be good to go.
No, and there's no buddy verifying anything. It's just
like this. I'm telling you, this was a, this was done on purpose
or some purpose or reason I, the thing we don't know is the
reason. But let's play clip three. And we'll be done with
that.
Jamie, even in this report, there still seems to be a
discrepancy in how long this attack took place that the
government has one number and how many minutes the AC 130 was
circling this hospital. But the Doctors Without Borders, folks
in the beginning had a different number.
So they said it was about an hour and a half. And by the way,
they were making desperate calls to the US military headquarters
saying, Look, we're being attacked, you know, call off
that plane. The Pentagon today admitted that those calls, as
you might expect, went through some layers of bureaucracy
before they the message was passed to ground commanders.
According to the Pentagon's investigation, once they
determined that was happening, the information was relayed to
the plane crew and they stopped shooting. But again, as you
mentioned, there's a discrepancy about that. And Doctors Without
Borders had put out their own investigation, their own account
of what happened based on the eyewitness reports of the people
on the ground. And really, it's just a horrific description of
this very, very terrible strategy to happen in the very
early morning hours of the day.
Man, what a mess.
This doesn't sound none of this sounds right. Well, yeah. Then
the glossary
was the the implications of Doctors Without Borders is that
the borders is let me see was it Nicolas Sacco? See, one of his
top guys went to run Doctors Without Borders. And he was a
known CIA agent. That's the kind of stuff I'm running into. I
don't know of any of that's true. There may be some wisps of
smoke there. But what is the fifth hospital now? This is God.
Yeah, well.
Yeah.
The what's the message? And if then if the CIA is involved,
what are they shooting at the CIA? For? That doesn't make any
sense?
No, no. But just because the someone or top of Doctors
Without Borders, may be in cahoots doesn't mean that the
people on the ground are being sacrificed. You know, the, these
people don't stop for 3040 Dead people don't care.
Especially if you can make it look like an accident, the
whole will, the whole thing was poorly reported. Doctors Without
Borders still irked about the whole deal. And these and the
guys who've sent these orders, and especially the illegal
order, which because we're not supposed to be involved in any
of this stuff, and because we're supposed to be out here's
what I think. So I think what happened is, the crew was
questioning this is what I understand the crew was
questioning is this illegal order? And that's when
communications didn't work. Well, we all know how that
works.
Man headquarters come in. And then, when you have a report,
that's 3000 pages. That's always to me is a giveaway. That means
you've got it's off your station.
Lots of facts. Lots of facts, lots of facts, lots
of fun, a lot of bullshit. Just fill it up.
Yeah, well, you know, one thing's for sure. We have a lot
of people on the inside in the military, they're going to first
I'm sure they will set us straight on exactly what type of
weaponry there was about the rounds, because you seem to be
interested in that overly interested in that.
I just find it weird that they would say 211 specifically as
though they're counting them.
And you never know what these numbers like. It's like the 1.9
billion so when they go oh two and 11 That's this. That's the
genius of the of the no agenda producers and our network.
Well, there is that and I hope that somebody chimes in we do
have a lot of people in the military, listen to the show.
And with that, I want to thank you for your courage and say in

You can get like a really high quality I think if you do like
an eight by eight frame with a like a seven by seven or
something. Depends on how they're matted. I think I think
there's a five by five mat on a eight by eight frame or
something that an Ikea Amazon sent me. But it's doable and it
would be very attractive.
Yeah. Okay, I can't find that.
I've seen people have in fact, I think our Ramsey Kane and yes

executive and Associate Executive producers for showing
821 We're starting with Jason Berg in Portland, Oregon. $300.
I want to send out a mayday alert to stop community
community tear down and the growth of urban infill. Oh, as a
night of peacock lane I need karma to is Yes, right. I need
karma to stop a dishonest developer hiding behind a shell
game of trust and fake companies is trying to tear down one of
the houses on a street with a history going back to the 20s
and known as the Christmas Street. He wants to build
cheaply built housing does not fit in with the rest of the
street and will look like a boil on the community of neighbors
and friends that is peacock lane.
Oh no.
Link to Peace guys. lane.org sir Jason is pissed off apparently
of course needs karma to stop this Yeah,
we'll take care of that. Here's a common you've got karma
Kevin Kelly, I should have done this already. I mean, Kelly has
an email that he sent into accommodate his his thing you're
going to hear me get louder if I go to my email.
Oh yeah, this is always so this is another little little glitch
we're working on trying to figure out sometimes when John
types on his keyboard this microphone gets really loud. I
know you've all heard it before. And it's very strange and it's
and it's like the entire room is being sucked through your
butthole into the mic it's crazy wall
an image I don't care much for that and there it is. There it
is. Always when I go to the one male system to let's see
it's a US it's a it's an interrupt conflict do we have
that was IRC the interrupt conflict between your drivers
and your peripherals back in the in the in the good old days?
Now the other thing of course, as I talked to Mark of the of my
candles, my emailing has been sluggish. John Adam ITM Episode
18, his coverage of the Zika was outstanding. That is thanks to
Adam Curry who actually looked into it. Instead of saying I
don't know why it's taking so long to get the money.
Where's where's my money?
That segment and really the entire episode is a great place
to start when introducing someone new to the show. 818
Okay, we'll take that as on a dice 818
Good advice. Indeed. Thank you
readily available information about a global scam that no news
agency seems remotely interested in discussing. Along with this
donation and also including some pictures from a recent trip to
Crimea. I had this As I examined it, put this in an upcoming
newsletter not the next one maybe that went after. It was
absolutely beautiful. I stayed in Yalta right on the Black Sea,
there's no doubt that you're in a post Soviet territory. But the
landscapes are stunning and the people generally warm and
welcoming. Nobody treated me as if I was the enemy. I can say
this, that Peninsula ain't going back to Ukraine if they have any
say in the matter. These people, including the friend that was
visiting, are as happy as clams to be part of Russia. There is
no doubt in my mind that they made a voluntary choice to
succeed from the Ukraine after years of what they felt was
neglect. There was no invasion, and a quick chat with anyone on
the street or in an Uber car. It's interesting, would reveal
that this decision they made was not voluntary and is one they
are quite happy with. I visited on the two year anniversary of
their former annexation, I might as well have been on the Fourth
of July in Sebastopol. It was a festival like atmosphere Russian
flags everywhere children's faces painted in Russian white,
blue and red, large outdoor concert stages. 1000s of people
celebrating outside of my pleased to give a shout out to
my friend Bill, who was recently donated and hit two of his kids
in the mouth might also have a shot of karma and a sucking in
such
visitors to his kids in the mouth. Well, while you were
reading that I wanted to get the second insert. That's an
important one to have standing by. Or we could actually do a
little little jingle here. There we go. I got the PDF episode
here are the countries and what they owe these pays and this is
what it's about. So when Marco Rubio says we're gonna get this
funded, he means Hello. Hello, United Kingdom. You owe us $500
million. Below France. You're about 111 million short. Hello,
Germany. You promised 391 You've only given us 134 Hello Silicon
Valley foundation. Where's your 25 million you pledge you've
given nothing. European Union 939 pledged 715 given Hello,
hello. Hello. That's what this is about. Oh, Bill, Melinda
Gates Foundation. Hey, you owe us 5 million. PG Allen this year
Paul Allen family foundation of your short fish. 14 million
dude. And then where's the money going?
To the Dutch army? Yep.
668 million is going to Liberia. That makes sense.
The I
don't know Guinea 835 million. Then we have here we go. The
World Food Program. Well, 302 million UNICEF 312. United
Nations women a million bucks. Why not? And then the
Netherlands. The Netherlands Ministry of Defense 7 million
Swedish Civil Contingencies agency one and a half million of
US Department of Defense 631 million and a wonder everyone's
up in arms literally. And CDC is about $800 million the and I'm
sure that they will save the world with that. Samaritan's
Purse saved the children World Vision goal International
Medical Corps they did probably legit. It's gotta be it's got to
be somewhere someone's got his cell phones got to be legit. But
now it's but this is not. This is just giving it to all these
other countries and taking it from one country. This is a
maybe it's like a precursor to climate change. That's what it
is. Fun is slush. It is a slush fund. It's a slush fund. All
right. All right. Here's Obama. Yeah, we'll do that. We'll do
the jingle.
In California, there wouldn't be regular days where people did
not go outside you've got karma.
Interesting one.

very nice.
Nikolai has done a $3,200.33 just sneaking above the 200 mark
you lose to hey my in
Lucas day Mr. Day, Mr. Lube Hold on, John. Yeah, it's the job
John Hold on one second. Hold it I think it's a 30 We're on a 30
minute cycle with this if I calculate correctly, it's about
30 minutes Hold on 17
We'll wait for that to straighten out and just clip it
out and yeah, let's give me a second Jesus is gonna be set
you have a note from him. I got nothing. Yeah, I
got a note out.
Oh, there it is. Nevermind he showed up okay.
Yes, Lucas timer in haste.
Yeah, and he says please let John say Causton Yarra borne in
mind. Jean agenda show.
Close, is what he says is Causton Yarrabah moment, feign
agenda show.
Okay, that means what it means.
This is the cost of a yearly subscription to the no agenda
show
you under bucks. That's reasonable. He says some monthly
donate. Yeah, somehow monthly donation don't work with PayPal.
Therefore, a little more than a year of monthly donation in one
go. Please keep up the good work some very enjoyable shows
recently. Thank you. A more EU reporting welcome. Well, you
gotta get plenty today. But also the Trump reports are very
insightful as to how the MSM is trying to influence the sheeple.
Yes, indeed. Thank you. Exactly. Right, exactly. Right. And I do
want to say that I got a tweet the other day from someone who
said, hey, that's an interesting little email I got from you
guys. And it was, hey, the no agenda show is unsubscribed you
from your subscription. We need to mention this from time to
time. That is what happens with PayPal for sometimes is unknown
reasons. I think it's credit cards expiring is pretty much
what seems to be the most frequent reason, but AllCom just
happened for no good reason. And of course, we are not
unsubscribing you and 90 people get unsubscribed and don't even
know it. So you might want to check if you think you have a
subscription.
But here's I've concluded something. I believe that this
happens because the no agenda show unlike a lot of shows that
have these these subscription systems, there's a checkbox you
can make that if you change your credit card, anything, they will
wait and track you down until they get the new credit card in
there. And then you're back on track for paying the
subscription. And I've always disliked that process. I think
if you wanted to unsubscribe, you can unsubscribe in various
ways, including just, you know, in other words, it makes it
almost impossible unsubscribe. Yeah. The problem is, is that
because you choose the promise that because we the no agenda
show has have chosen to not check that box. So
that's okay, that's a good thing.
And then they show they blame us. Well, these guys, they could
have done other things, but no, no,
yeah, they want it that way. Okay. You don't want to gouge
your listeners. You don't want to play nice, okay.
So the thing people have to do you really do have to once every
six probably every six months. Check to see if your
subscription is still working because you have to know I'd say
we'd lose like a lot of money every year because of these.
This issue. I agree. All right, finally, Jessica Wyatt in San
Antonio, Texas. 200 bucks and she's got a note in here this
totally Former as an in tune going for her husband's
knighthood, and she wants to credit she got a note and then
another note, the note says, Please apply this donation to
Andrew Wyatt's knighthood. Now I don't know where she wants to
take the executive producer credit or not, but we'll give
him the knighthood credit. But you have to do your own
bookkeeping just so you do keep us in a loop in you know when it
happens, let us know. In the morning she writes Hi is she
wrote a handwritten note in longhand. Hi John and closed a
you will find a check for the amount of $200 that is I would
like to be applied toward my husband's knighthood and smiley
face. I am writing to get a Kickstarter karma and chem
trails please. I live in San Antonio, Texas and my I'm very
excited about bringing my dream of opening a nerd clubhouse to
life.
What is that what's what's a nerd clubhouse? That sounds
interesting.
Gents. My Kickstarter campaign launches on May 1, my donation
and karma requests are intended for your Sunday show. To get
this thing started on the right foot. The link will be available

D. So it's a nerd with two ends. So nerd dot club, GS if you're
curious, go check it out.
I'm gonna check it out run in son.
Oh one and 100 It's kind of like Seigneurs says would you saner
dot club

talking people show. But at least now I get some of the
insider jokes. I hope you like the
station and we're gonna explain them to me.
Stationary is a bunch of cats at the top. Okay. So that's, that's
good. You can tell it give us coordinates a nerd dot club.
Yeah, sounds interesting. And she's just an hour down the road
hour and 20 minutes if it's cool. I'd love to go check it
out. Maybe it's a place for Texas meetup
might be sounds as Yeah,
I've been looking for places Yeah, the nerd place that'd be
cool.
Anyway, that that that concludes our executive producer, social
executive producers segment for a 21 I want to thank everybody
we do have a show coming up. Because the next show is a clip
show of of Yes, very good. We haven't concluded which one is
going to be but it will be.
Cyber has has re edited the second episode of the no agenda
funnies I think he called it and I've listened
to that's never been played the second episodes never been no
and I lost about 45 minutes and I laugh I was always laughing at
yourself and like man, we're funny, but
I was gonna look in the mirror. But he did a lot of work. He
did a lot of work. I know he did. I know he did. Well,
that'll
be running on Thursday and so we won't be able to read the
donation segment but that will be moved all the donation
segments and all the everything that comes in will be moved to
Sunday with an extra long segment and so that we will look
forward to that and that by the way this coming Thursday is May
Day that's correct and we will have a special donation similar
for people because people really liked them not and I'm not made
a saint because I got my oh yeah, let me get it straight.
The upcoming Thursday Cinco de Mayo this today is May Day now
in
in Milan in the Netherlands The fifth to they don't really
celebrate I don't think there really isn't he made a
celebrations it's which is odd for kind of a socialist country.
But on May 5 instead of the Cinco de Maya which of course
would not make sense here. Not the Mexican population not that
big. But it was its liberation day when the Americans and the
Canadians liberated the country. So you know it's a really yeah
big festival huge, huge
so it's Liberation Day and Sanko a mile Yes.
A double hit and
it is Adam and Tina's one year anniversary it's a triple hit I
tell you
so your anniversary was because you liked the Mexican culture so
much who did you met on Cinco de mio?
Yes, well Tina's half Mexican. Is she Yeah, she's half Mexican
half. Wow. Lithuanian by just said she's backup Russian.
Yeah, in case they need more. Yeah, that's a good necklace.
She
apparently she's very pretty. Okay, that'll do it for this go
to divorce. Slash and a and think of someone getting on
board with one of the programs? Yes. And
of course, these credits the executive producer and Associate
Executive producer credits. These are the ones that come at
the beginning of the show, because you're really making
this show happen. And we look forward to thanking everybody
else that above $50 Who of course make the show happen as
well, and they get there they're up As producer credits for
participating in the program, they're really good to put
anywhere that you might have a CV or some kind of resume. And
as John said, we'll have another show. We'll have the the comedy
show coming up on Thursday and on Sunday, we'll be back with an
extra long Thank you segments
for red.org/and A
and of course, in the meantime, you'll have a full week to be
out there propagating our formula
formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth
I forgot the trails in the karma, so I kind of karma were
so taken aback by her nerding nerd place to be girl nerds.
They're too girl nerds.
Nerds. Good nerd good. Nerds,
nerds.
Good nerds. Because that sounds very or the nerd after nerds get
an answer. Yeah.
I found a couple. Did you get anything from the the
correspondents? The White House Correspondents Dinner? No crabs.
Yeah,
I actually stopped watching it. Well, I
had clips. I only wanted to play two clips. I only got the first
clip. See, I wanted to play the second clip. But I but because
of all the horrible things that happened because there were
there was a pair of clips it was the president and then was the
was named Larry Wilmore to name who? Media. Here's the
president.
I do apologize. I know I was a little late tonight. I was
running on CPT which stands for jokes that white people should
not make.
So European listeners or listeners outside of get my
nation proper won't know necessarily what CPT stands for.
I don't think we talked about this in the show. Because this
happened in New York, and Hillary Clinton was on stage
with the mayor. And one of the actors of death named the main
guy from Hamilton. And then the mayor says, Well, I'm sorry, I'm
late. I was on CPCP time, which is an old racist joke for
colored people time. And then, but the joke was no, I'm on
cautious politician time in the joke fell flat. It was like, you
know, in in context, it was probably funny, but if you just
have a soundbite, you know, like the screw Trump this group
Clinton tip, only? If it would have been Trump, that would have
been a million times worse. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
So now the President is making a joke about that flat joke. And
wow, I have a crack in my screen. Holy shit.
You have a crack in your screen and my
brand new MacBook? Yeah. Wow. Okay, nevermind. Yeah, but it
was kind of like, yep, jokes white people should never make
it was like, Okay. And then Wilmore came out. And of course,
there's a clip I wanted to play where he said, you know, the
President's hair is so white. It was yellow. It's yelling, all
lives matter. We only had all these kinds of like jokes, which
they're not offended by him. It's just a joke is funny, but
let's just agree that that's a racist joke. That it was
institutionalized. You know, it's not like, like, no one knew
he was gonna make these jokes. It was all okay.
And that, that's, it's a little that's pushing it for me.
Now, maybe I'll go back and look at it. Yeah, but I wish I had to
find that. I find the correspondents dinner to be
tedious.
It is. It is. But
now we'll make it. Yeah, it is tedious. Right. But yeah, so
like, I tried to get some stuff from but just technical
difficulties made it to almost impossible, however, that
did everyone a favor.
I began to pick up a couple of couple of interesting clips,
because now the conversation seems to have turned to the
woman's card. Mimi has received several offers from Hillary
Clinton to actually get a woman's card, which looks like a
little credit card. Now.
Yeah, I thought that was genius.
I liked that. But what what I have not been able to find which
I I know what happened. I know it was said, I can't it's so
hard because of the corruption of how the search engines work.
I'm pretty sure that Hillary herself or her campaign said
early on, said, You know, if I was a man, I wouldn't have
gotten 5% of the votes. And but she meant it in a different way
by you know, the she said that way. It was exactly what Trump
said only she said it in her advantage. I can't do You
remember this that she said that?
No, I wish I did.
I think someone may remember I have the I haven't, I might be
able to dig up a clip for it to be a transcript would even be
good if we could find that transcript would be good. So
anyway, so that's what I've been seeing everything of course I'm
over here so I'm just trolling around and looking at different
little bits and bobs from some of the new stations. Man it's so
hard to get clips from CNN the auto play if you can't bookmark
is hair horrible. MSNBC though had Michelle Goldberg on she's
from Slate and if you know her
I don't know nor personally Okay, now be do no over.
No. Okay,
why am I here? Here she is. And this is now on the on the
woman's card tip because it's
just gonna be so vicious and so ugly. And when you think about
the amount of racism that's been unleashed by Obama being
president and then you think of all of the submerged gender
anxieties of men losing their primacy in kind of the American
system and all of that,
you know, do you hear that? We
saw Yeah, minivans. Their primacy what's the problem?
What's the problem? What do you bitching about? Let me ask you.
Yeah. The all the white men have lost their prime oil men in
general lost their primacy. Yeah. Okay. Let's say that true.
It let's true. So now what what do you vision about? What she
bitching about? Well, because
we're so happy camper. No, we're still in the way. She's bitching
that we're in the way. So we've lost her privacy. But we're,
we're hanging on by our fingernails because we're in the
way our, our, our sad bodies are our sick, ugly men. menace.
maleness is just in the way. I think that's what she means.
plausible, okay,
because it's just gonna be so vicious and so ugly. When you
think about the amount of racism that's been unleashed by Obama
being president and then you think of
all of the stuff that he's that That by itself. Yeah, the racism
unleashed by Obama being President, I'm sorry, I have to
say unleashed by the President himself has been incredible.
And by this woman, she's a racist.
Because it's just gonna be so vicious and so ugly. And when
you think about the amount of racism that's been unleashed by
Obama being president and then you think of all of the
submerged gender anxieties of men losing their primacy in kind
of the American system and all of that, you
know, in the American system, John, we're losing our primacy
in the America. Is that the whole system? Is that the
economy? Is it the banking system? Is it just we're just
losers, who just slimy flesh eating no good losers, no good
that's been crystallized
in this contest between first female presidential candidate
but the first feminist presidential candidate, you
know, a hate object for anti feminists for over decades now,
you know, against this sort of like or misogynist
or misogynist or misogynist or misogynist or John or misogynist
gymnast? I love that little girl she doesn't have front there
are I think are earnest.
Oh really stands for
like sis massage. No, no, yes, I'm kidding mean something like
e r or misogynist.
Yeah, just telling you I did she says it in such a way that it's
not like she's saying or as some sort of as a hype, you know,
some sort of idling?
I thought it was just just like we're really irmasat
I think it means something does anybody in the chat room yeah
with me always or massages might refer to
Okay, well, I have you are here you look it up John. My
bandwidth is crap. By No, no, no, no, don't do that. The mic
goes loud. You're right. So I think as you are massages Sajid
No sir, well hold on a second book of knowledge.
Definition of ERP misogynist.
The word misogynist means a misanthrope who dislikes women

man ruptures. That's a great one. Are you nuts?
In every workshop conference? Here in every word, don't
interrupt me. In every workshop, conference meeting, discussion
group or classroom conversation, there's usually at least one guy
who wins this title. These men will often hijack the
conversation and or derail its original topic in order to match
their own personal interest. I do that sometimes, but I catch
myself doing that. I don't think I'm Manta ruptor Amantha

Okay.
I'm sorry. I didn't want to have to do this right now. I didn't
want to have to do it. But I'm gonna have to do it. Ah, but I
have come across some very sad, sad audio and three pieces. It
just comes to me now it's just flood the internet is being
flooded for all the face bags being flooded with cultural
appropriation. So we're going to learn some things we're going to
go from cultural appropriation to a professor at at a at a
college explaining exactly what white privilege is. And then I
have a kicker an extra bonus explanation for us. But I
thought maybe it will be interesting to listen to another
one of these YouTube millennials, who will explain to
us what cultural appropriation is? We did it on the last show.
Would you like to just maybe tell us one more time what that
is John culture appropriation.
That's where you left. Some ideas or some some process done
by culture that you think it'd be good in another culture and
you steal it? As though it's not you steal it as though it was
owned or copyrighted or something instead of some long
lasting cultural identity or idea or, or a jazz for example,
white people playing it would be a cultural appropriation. Okay.
Please don't interrupt when she does the headdress part because
we know that's bullcrap. Because it's not worth stopping for
that. But listen to her, and listen to how she twist this and
where she takes it.
Cultural Appropriation is basically when you take
something from a culture that you don't belong to such as a
Native American headdress, cough, Coachella and use it
outside of that cultural context, usually without
understanding its cultural significance and oftentimes
changing its original meaning. For an example the swastika,
which we are all familiar with as a symbol used by the Nazis
during the Holocaust. I love
how it's doing the Holocaust now, but maybe the Second World
War,
we're going to be a swastika on the screen just kind of go with
it. Originally, the swastika was used as a sacred symbol and
Hinduism and Buddhism to represent prosperity, good luck
and liberation. However, it started being associated with
rather opposite concepts in the 1920s when it was appropriated
and bastardized by the Nazi Party.
Now, is that cultural appropriation? No, I don't think
so. I didn't think so. And that's just some
taking the design and calling it you know your own. It's actually
reverted reversing, but it's not. There's no there's not the
culture that created the original symbol and what it
represents added was not taken and stolen. All that was moved
was the symbol itself with no culture attached to it. So how's
that cultural approach? Well,
what she gets to do is she gets to tell you that when you
appropriate someone's culture you're a Nazi. That's the idea.
Ah, exactly.
Yeah, party. This is the perfect example of an outside group
taking something of religious and cultural significance and
changing its original meanings so that it's no longer
accessible to the group that it was taken
from modern but that's not cultural appropriation darling.
Examples of cultural appropriation include Katy Perry
performing in a modified kimono and Geisha makeup, Katy Perry
performing in a bindi and just Katy Perry in general.
There you go. Katy Perry is a cultural appropriation.
appropriator the horrible girl.
But isn't America supposed to be a melting pot?
Oh, okay, here we go. You ready? The melting pot? When did we've
I always thought New York City was the melting pot. Is America
the melting pot? Yeah, we're the melting pot. What does that
mean? The melting pot.
That means people come from all over and they all get into our
culture and which is a mix of cultures. And they become
Americanized and they don't just sit there in the ghetto. You
know, speaking Arabic.
The Melting Pot is an outdated model used to describe the equal
blending of cultures to create one single new and better
culture.
Is that true?
The kind of, kind of it's are you
okay? However, most sociologists have scrapped this idea and
choose to look at the blending of cultures like a salad, just
keep their own dislike for what
you said most tend to look at it like a salad.
sociologists have scrapped this idea and choose to look at the
blending of cultures like a salad.
It's a salad. We're the salad of the world with a salad bowl of
the world,
and distinct shapes and flavors and some cultures are more
prominent than others. Viewing America like a melting pot
implies that all cultures are mixed and valued equally, which
is not so much the case in the US in the United States. You see
a dominant culture that was originally established and
enforced by white European colonizers on to the native
people of the land. An example of this is Christian
missionaries forcing Native American children to attend
Christian boarding schools.
I mean, it's his view of what's gonna wind up happening is you
wear cornrows in your hair. You're gonna be Hitler. You're
killing children. You're forcing them to let Yeah, this is
horrible.
By the way, she says the 20s is 1933 and they've swastika became
the symbol official symbol of the Nazis fascists. I didn't get
nothing right here.
I didn't think. Yeah, exactly. But the internet is the face bag
is filling up with this stuff. Filling up with
Yeah. Okay, let's face. That's right. It's a horrible thing. By
the way. The swastika in Finnish military history was actually
used by the Finnish Air Force in and around first in 1918. Oh,
and Paul Paul. Nate wasn't cocked. It was straight up and
down. It wasn't it cocked.
Tilted wasn't tilted. Paul Pierre de mon just said the
swastika is also a Runic symbol for the sun and very closely
linked to the Sun wheel of the Celts and the symbol of the
Celtic gods.
Way back. Yeah, way back.
Yeah. Well, okay, so where were these?
Yeah. Good entry into Wikipedia on the swastika. You should
everyone should look at it's very interesting, very
entertaining.
Where did the kids learn it gone? Where did the kids learn
this? They learned this in, in their colleges. The schools
didn't have anything. Well, right. Yes, they're learning
this and I'm going to prove it to you. This is Portland
Community College. Who had
a bastion of the intellectuals of the United States. Okay, go
well, I mean, this and I know I know.
I'm sure it's happening at Ivy League schools as well. John,
don't you think?
Well, we have our people I got a letter to read right after
you're done
or misogynist. Okay.
They had Whiteness History Month. Which is important
Whiteness History Month.
Whiteness we asked whiteness was sponsored by tide or was it all
which laundry This is about
about whiteness. This is about being white and whiteness, and
we can all learn about whiteness, whiteness, you get it
whiteness.
Yeah, there's a way you do your laundry. Remember, this is
Portland Community
College, the bastion of higher education, as you pointed out,
and this professor
explains it here. Yes. Do you want to say something?
No, just play him. I'm already on pins and needles here. Is
this a black guy or a white?
This is a white gal, a white lady MTN and this is a one of
the students filming this on his or her iPhone ZXR, hypha Azura.
iPhone. And you can also read along on the screen, but you
it's audible enough to hear the examples. And she first explain
to us exactly, I'm very happy to hear this exactly what white
privilege is.
Because I want us to sort of start off at the same place in
terms of
Yes, yes, stop up.
You could back this up with that woman that used to be run the
NPR they sound exactly the same. Advertising whatever. You think,
maybe.
Do I have that one? Is that the one that we're always looking
for? Again, we see in P R. So when you're always advertising,
okay, let's try it. Here we go.
year that just ended hospital.
That's not it?
Dammit, why can I never find that one? Okay. Underwriting
underwriting is what it was underwriting underwriting. Now.
I can't find a John, we'll just we'll find that for another
time. All right.
Because I want us to sort of start off at the same place in
terms of how things are defined. I don't mean how I necessarily
define them. But in terms of, you know, research or academics
or just general conversation happening out in the world, I
think it's important for us to just start by defining white
privilege, because that inevitably does come up. We talk
about white fragility through a few definitions.
The first one is Steve, me, this is actually from Robin, sorry, I
just lost my train of thought I apologize. Give me
the logic. It doesn't remember who wrote the quote, but okay,
here comes
the social construction of white women. And it reads white
privilege is a set of advantages and or immunities that white
people benefit from on a daily basis. Beyond this comment all
others?
Did you get that? I got white people benefit on a daily basis
that I couldn't understand that above
all others, above all others,
all other others.
And agreed white privilege is the senator Bennett advantages
and or immunities that white people benefit from on a daily
basis beyond this comment all others
beyond beyond all others. A set of privileges that we the queen?
Yes, she's wife if the queen is wife.
No, no. But that's all does is it all the same. So the queen
doesn't have any extra white privileges than I do
accord the queen of course, the Queen has extra privileges. But
there's something wrong with this definition. She's got white
as white to the max plus, plus, plus, plus plus plus one
privilege. Yeah. But that's what it is. It's a set of, you know,
just benefits we enjoy above all others.
Okay, all right. Well, that apparently that's over
well, isn't it it's more.
Another Francis candle, says white privilege is an
institutional rather than personal set of benefits,
institutional rather than personal set of benefits. So
it's institutionalized white privilege,
by race resemble the people who hold the power positions in our
institutions. One of the primary privileges is having great
access to power and resources that people of color, in other
words purely on the basis of our skin color doors are open to us.
And lastly, James Baldwin, being white means never having to
think about it. There you go. Being white means never having
to think about it.
Okay, well, whatever. I guess I don't think about it that much
now, but now that we have the as the other clip with the end of
male primacy. Does that mean the white males are now like, Ah,
you don't get the privilege? I'm lonely.
No, no, you play right into my cards? No, now we know and yes,
now we need to hear the the definition and explanation of
and this again is from Whiteness History Month. white fragility.
That is where we're headed John white fragility.
Sensitivity surrounding privilege. Let's talk a little
bit about white fragility, which is why we're all here. And a
couple of definitions for you. This is from Robyn D'Angelo
mentioned earlier so a lot of work around this subject As she
says white fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount
of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range
of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of
emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as
argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress inducing
situation is behaviors and turn function to reinstate white
racial equilibrium.
So did you hear that?
Now, it's really hard to hear, okay,
white fragility is when you have white privilege, but you deny
it. And you get angry, and you start to talk loud and you start
to you become Yes, I know. I am completely white, fragile. white
fragility is my middle two names.
And another nice definition sheet blogs about a lot of
really nice days,
that the professor is not going to read a definition of white
fragility from a blogger because she likes really nice things.
This was really nice, because that's academic. But says some
important stuff. She says white fragility is at its essence, gut
level pushback. It's like the fight or flight response of
white people who want to believe that they and the world
extension are less racially divisive than they really are.
This is perfect. So white fragility is when you want the
world to be less racially divided than the world is. And
you are, because you're really racist. You see,
when you say you're not absolutely clinically insane
when you
say you're not racist, that actually means you have white
fragility and are therefore racist and have white well not
racist, white privilege. Let me put it that way.
You know, this woman is suffering from all of this white
privilege. Well,
it's, it's interesting you say that, hold on, hold on, just
roll it back. Just a couple seconds here comes by extension
are less racially divisive than they really are. It's when you
feel like the wind has been knocked out of you. When a
person of color points out something you've said, seems
rooted in a privileged experience of the world.
When you feel the wind is knocked out of you. When a
person of color points out something you said as I guess
being part of white privilege,
is when you desperately want to defend why well attention
institutionally you're part of isn't really racist. It's when
you have a talking about certain parts of who you are in fear
that will make you vulnerable for critique from people of
color. I know when I read that definition, I was like, Oh, my
gosh, I totally see myself they're going through this
blended timeline. Right.
I'm going to this this Linda timeline, right about how
incredibly white privilege and white fragile I am. Listen,
right, I
totally see myself there. Like I was going to this Melinda
timeline, right? If you told your girl, you know, through my
own evolution, right, because we make mistakes, you know, their
best intentions, we make mistakes. And I just really love
that sounds like I didn't feel it. I felt in my gut. And I was
reading I was like, Yeah, give them that too.
So so she's saying, Not only is this true, but oh my gosh, I've
been doing this my entire life when I was three when I was five
when I was 10. When I was a teenager, I have suffered from
white privilege. And because I've denied it, because I've
denied it. I have white fragility and therefore I'm I'm
racist.
You know, if you're out there and you want to date a black
guy, just do it. We don't need this bullshit. Or misogynist.
Is that what you think it's about?
Yeah. You're facing some black guys. Probably got a reputation.
Hey, it's okay. We don't mind if you if you take the flag.
Yeah. No white guy wants to date. Yeah, I can tell you right
now.
You should see the video. I think I think she's non binary.
No, that could be well, this all reminds me of this clip which I
think summarizes the whole thing.
You nailed it. You nailed that. I'm
sorry. You nailed it. It was good. It was good.
Kid shoots intruder. This to me is the future America.
Burglars are gonna think twice about hitting this house in
Alabama. Tom to 11 year old Chris Ghaith here. He was home
alone Wednesday morning a man broke in they had been actually
hit before this time the kid was ready instead of calling 911 He
grabbed a nine millimeter handgun.
Guess you didn't think was a real gun because he didn't worry
about he just kept on walking. I shot through a hamper very
scared. Was it was a full metal jacket boy. I went straight
there begging him I was like Can you start a crime Michael baby?
No A Full Metal Jacket. The intruder was taken to the
hospital Chris credits his stepdad for his shooting skills
shot him through the hand is that what he said?
No it's through the through the leg and he was crying like a
little baby that's a line is worth it was crying like a
little baby this is an 11 year old shooting some guys just stop
just stop just
what where did this take place?
Alabama and Alabama. We got to hear that again. That was good.
Let me that kid again.
Straight there begging him he started crying Michael baby.
Full
Metal Jacket.
Really? kind of kid cries when he's doing his shot in the leg.
Man up.
It wasn't a kid it was an intruder. But the kids gloating
over this I shot this kid in that woman's class.
Great combo. Well, then I have another one for you never get
another. This kid should meet her. Sally cone isn't one of my
favorite commentators on this CNN. Sally cone. Koh N. We had
the we had an argument. I thought she was lesbian for
sure. And you said no. Maybe she wasn't? No, I'm talking about
Sally Kohn.
Yeah, she's a witch. Did you find that she's lesbian or not?
No, I'm
she hates men, but I don't know if she's lesbian. Here. She's
still the most qualified candidate. Running period number
one. And number two, if we're gonna go there, fine. Look,
people are only voting for Donald Trump. Most of his
supporters are only voting for him because he's a white guy.
And frankly,
he only voted for him because he's a white guy. Racist, much.
Very suddenly voting for him because he's a white guy. And
frankly, if he were a woman, or if he were, I don't know, let's
pick Latino Muslim, any of the groups that he's stoked hatred
amongst his supporters, he were any of those I don't think he'd
be getting support either. So you know, you want to talk about
gender and race. Let's talk about gender and race. But let's
really talk about the policies as this candidate sport. She's
the best candidate for women and for men, for white voters for
voters of color. That's what people are deciding on. That's
why they're supporting her. And she's a woman. Thank God, it's
time we need to.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you stepped on the last bit,
because I liked the way she says it. We stepped on home.
She's the best candidate for women and for men, for white
voters for voters of color. That's what people are deciding
on. That's why they're supporting her. And she's a
woman. Thank God, it's time we need President.
Thank God, it's time Bah, do I dislike that man, I dislike it.
When would women say we need a woman that just give me a good
word that clearly not the best, but ace don't like that. Now,
you said about the emails. So there's a couple of things. One
is increasing the information coming out. And stuff that we've
kind of already guessed, would eventually start to happen with
these emails. So if you follow the money trail of Hillary
Clinton's email server, it was actually set up by Justin
Cooper. And Justin Cooper is like the number one adviser to
Bill and there and he's an advisor at the tenant
Corporation. This is the this is the company that seems to be
kind of like a backdoor for money coming to the Clinton
Foundation and whom Aberdeen work there. There was that
controversy, if you recall, John, which, you know, just like
how can you work there and work at the State Department at the
same time?
Right? Oh, I can do it. But what
happened is interest is Justin Cooper. He was the guy who
registered the domain name Clinton email.com. But also
President Clinton emailed the President clinton.com, I think.
And so he's done the original Internet registration documents.
And so the servers were set up by the guy who got the immunity.
And apparently the legal boat bills are now in the $100,000.
And the Clintons are paying for it. But this guy is the one that
set it up. And it makes so much sense because if you have Bill
Clinton's email, and Hillary's email on a server that you at
least registered and you got the guy to set it up privately,
maybe it's kind of easy if you want to see what's going on and
by both sides and where maybe, you know, some information might
be interesting to have some money go back into the Clinton
Foundation now, but it would be a third party so there's no
direct contact, but yet the single server that houses both
of these email accounts apparently that is what the FBI
supposedly is working on.
Well, and we'll see well, and
of course, Jane Sanders was asked about this. If this was a
CNN and all her her answer is yes. Okay and stock but she says
a couple things that I hadn't noticed before and I went back
and she doesn't constantly I'm see if you recognize that's as
far as you'll go. email phishing,
even if the FBI would have raised a big deal about that,
and you think it's not your cup of tea, it's not the way you
want to go.
Know what we said, right from the beginning. I hear that.
He says what we said.
And she goes back and forth. They'll say burn it, he said,
but she says
at least is this. This is wife.
Whose wife Bernie Sanders wife, Jane Sanders,
Bernie, Bernie Sanders, okay. Okay. I started over. I didn't
know that. So I was not listed for them. All right.
I find it kind of odd that she says but she does it a couple
times. And she doesn't frequently we said we who's we?
That's as far as you'll go. Even if the FBI would have raised a
big deal about that, and you think it's not your cup of tea,
it's not the way you want to go.
Know what we said. Right from the beginning. I mean, he in
right after the debate where he said Enough of your damn emails.
He also said, there's a process. It's going forward. It's an FBI
investigation. We want to go through without politicizing it
and find out what the situation we'll find out. And that's how
we still feel. I mean, we'd be nice if the FBI moved it along,
but I don't know.
To this couple.
Yeah. Here are a couple or a couple. And then you probably
saw Do you have anything on the the protesters at the Trump
thing? A couple
of things on the protesters? Yeah. First of all, there's
actually a real protest going on in San Francisco. Nobody gives a
crap about this. Oh, and this is the this has been an ongoing guy
starving himself to death. This is the see what where's that
clip? Is Trump Trump? I got the Trump protests. And then I got
this other one.
Minor protests
ignored. I got Yeah, minor protests. This is the real
protest these idiots who went over to protest the California
Republican convention, but they're not Republicans. What
are they protesting, but they went over there. But meanwhile,
this is going on.
In San Francisco. A group of protesters have been on a hunger
strike for nearly a week to protest police killings of
unarmed African American and Latino men. The activists have
been occupying the sidewalk in front of the Michigan police
station, responsible for a number of the recent killings.
They want San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee to fire San Francisco Police
Chief Greg sore or resign himself to see our coverage of
the San Francisco police killings of Alex nepto and Luis
gongura.
Okay, yeah, no, of course no one cold that's going on. No, nobody
knows about them. Now who cares? That actually make a difference.
So here's the Trump protest as reported on ABC,
the United We begin with that extraordinary site, Donald Trump
forced to hike around a giant crowd of protesters to go
through the back door at an event outside San Francisco.
This was the scene outside of Bay Area Hotel. Police holding
back hundreds of protesters but they broke through the
barricades, surging toward the entrance, forcing Trump and his
motorcade to go around. And all of this playing out as
helicopters hovered above. You can see Trump they're jumping
down a step climbing up the grass to the back door. ABC
Cecilia Vega leading us off.
Tonight, throngs of angry protesters in San Francisco.
blocking roads. Knocking down barricades. Please, gear. Ladies
good good. It's like a lot of sweetening
going, oh, a
thing is like a roller coaster. Cecilia
Vega leading us all.
Tonight, throngs of angry protesters in San Francisco,
blocking roads, knocking down barricades. Lashing with police
in riot gear. And when Donald Trump's jet touchdown the crowd
was ready. ABCs Josh has both right there
are testers outside the Hyatt Regency trying to use whatever
entrance they can to get inside and stopped on.
The Republican front runner forced to take a detour watch is
Trump leaves his motorcade surrounded by Secret Service
jumping down from a walkway crossing a grassy median on foot
to get into the hotel. We went under a fence and through a
fence and
boy I felt like I was crossing the border actually.
Rally overnight protesters jumping on cars Driving
doughnuts, nearly 20 arrests, but the Trump show outwest a
marked contrast to the campaign in Indiana, or think
that's what Jane means when she says we
I guess but these shell people all had Mexican flags, which I
thought was Was this all about? No, not
all of them. They had Hands up, don't shoot black lives matter.
It was all their job everywhere else. They
had a lot of Mexican flights. And meanwhile, the protests in
San Francisco which actually does affect the Latino community
in San Francisco, nobody's there.
These are paid protests like 10 people that these are paid
protesters. These protesters are paid this is what this is what
your college kid is going to this is a possible avenue for
college kids could become a Soros got the money professional
protester. I love this
professional protesters. It's disgusting professional. What
play this clip US students dumber than ever.
The latest Nation's Report Card shows high school seniors are
losing ground. The US Department of Education reports that
average math scores dropped last year for the first time since
assessments began in 1992. reading scores were flat but
they've dropped five points since 1992. As a result only 37%
of all seniors are judged college ready in math and
reading I am think
is unique to the Common Core is a
scam I don't think it's unique to the United States on this
play this then what can I display one bit from the Can I
play one bit from the protester to follow up to that could
be got to play this right? And then I'm done. You got it? Yeah.
Whatever. I'm good camo, camo man on the street.
Oh, always a winner. What is this? Just plays they're asking
two questions. Yeah. The first one is, how many Marvel
characters Can you name
the second one is named the vice president.
The name and name the number of presidents named some
presidents. Just a couple means many Avengers as you can.
Oh, Captain America, Thor, Hulk. Black Widow, Hawkeye, Scarlet
Witch Quicksilver on Iron Man. I think that's it. Okay, to name
as many US presidents as you can. Grover Washington.
Grover Washington, Jr, Grover Washington, Jr. Just the two of
us, maybe we can make it if we try as Los Angeles to make
sense.
And they had one person after another, obviously, until they
finally got to a woman who knew all the presidents. Well, she
didn't know any new Marvel character, you
chill,
chill for the bit. Show for the bit. So this is a protester
interviewed by MSNBC. And she's in our Black Lives Matter. Hands
up, don't shoot t shirt. And at this point Trump has already
inside but she doesn't know it. Now, you're not going to be able
to see the expression on her face. But the pause, just
imagine her jog on who would
be like rushing over the barriers and heading towards
the entrance?
I think I'll do the sound effects so you know exactly
where it is for you like rushing over
the barriers and
heading towards the entrance of a convention is the right way to
approach this.
I think that we should be interrupting the convention and
making sure that Donald Trump does not take stakes today.
Do you plan to keep to keep protesting throughout the day as
he comes in?
We're not gonna let him in. So we will protest as long as we
need to to ensure that he doesn't make mistakes. Well,
I think he is in but but do you have plans? For him to come out?
I
mean, do you plan to keep going throughout the day? To continue?
Yes. All right.
Like he's already inside.
What did she say at the very end?
I stepped on my own bit. All right. At the very end, she
said, for him to come out. I
mean, do you plan to keep going throughout the day?
We do plan to continue? Yes. All right.
We do plan to continue. But the idea was to not let him take the
stage. What is this?
That's obstruction incompetence,
protests, or is this a paid is paid shows are no good?
How? What would be effective? I mean, let's look at it from the
other side for a moment. That because you know, there's a lot
of millennials out there who do not listen to our show.
Obviously. If you really want to be effective, what can you do
with a Donald Trump? If you and I were to strategize? Well, what
can we do to really, really undermine him? There's got to be
I think we should hire some professional protesters and have
them do self immolation around the whole thing, dumped
themselves with kerosene Light it up
John Cena for those that
I like, it's not a thing. Not a thing I have any ideas about?
Oh, they don't either and go
straight up violence and load these people love with machine
guns and then that would probably end to the visit but I
don't know. I think it's just dumb to be honest about what
difference does it make whether Trump goes in front of that
stage of Republicans in a republican convention and says
anything? What difference isn't made to these people?
I don't think it makes any difference to them. They're just
partying to just partying. Hey, there's a rally. You know, you
used to be when you were in school. Hey, we were gonna we
got a bonfire as a rally tonight you put on your letterman
jacket, you go out there and your T bird. Hey, girls, you
know hanging out right? Yeah. Hey, girls, vertical cars. Hey,
babe. Hey, what's up? What's up? What's up? Hey,
see my raccoon jacket? Want to go for a ride in the flivver
Wait a minute.
What's the flipper? Look it up.
I'm going to show my school by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do with us and oh yeah, that'd be fun
I think you'd be great. Kentucky. Kentucky. That's your
roll. Kentucky Kentucky universe are Greece.
Actually, you know the funny thing is about that movie I've
never seen
it. I've seen the movie and the play even
I have not seen the play either. I I don't like movies that are
kind of the play. I like to play I think there are different art
forms and they should be kept separate. Well,
the movie isn't like it's a musical but the movie isn't it
is acted it isn't like the play. You know what? That's this is
your homework. And then you look at Kentucky
and I'm not gonna go watch Greece.
Come on.
Okay, I'll watch you because Nicky man you guys don't
have I have a bunch of movies backed up Mean Girls is the one
I want to see that. Everyone's agreed with.
You haven't seen mean girls?
No. I have not seen Mean Girls, I suppose. Great. Tina Fey is
first I guess movie.
I don't know why, but it reminds me of lexan. I was looking at
his art collection. Yeah, man. So he has a Warhol of Jagger.
And he says there's eight of us. He says eight of these I have
seven. I said let me guess
that he's cornered the market on that one
though. There's there's one that one that isn't that he doesn't
have and that's that Mick has it? Because the eighth he has
and he has he has the there's only four prints of the Beatles
in the Cavern Club. With the full picture not cut off. But
the full picture only four prints were ever made. And he
has one of them. He's got an amazing collection
to scan. Those collections are worth millions. Eventually.
Well, he said the Warhols he was buying prints, you know back in
the day for eight $9,000. And now they're 35 some 50. This is
crazy. If you got anything real from Warhol, like not just the
print. It's up to a million
insane soup cans. And they're broke again. Hold on to 14 to
14. Soup Cans. Are you back?
Yeah. Back into you. Last words I heard were Warhol back in the
day.
Okay, so my last words for you are soup cans.
Yes. What is the soup cans worth nowadays? Well, the
print is up to 56 if you have if you have all set then it's the
complete set is what you want. But I had never really seen I've
never really seen this liechtenstein's. Oh my god, I
think I'm more in love with those insights are very
valuable. They're beautiful.
No brain power. Wow. Is he has all this action. Yeah, yeah,
that's good stuff.
Let's take a look at this. Yes,

to get this freshly employed millennial to chip in my dues
This is shows worth the price of admission of a movie or 12 and
beyond. Oh, popcorn suggestion I am looking for today's
discussion of Euro landed in the smug of the press corps. To the
girl from Yale to whom you read the note from whom you read the
note please don't give up hope is the Anna No. I'm currently
graduating from Brandeis liberal among liberal schools. And they
didn't they made it out what I currently graduate and breaded
liberal news and please don't give up. I'm not sorry, and made
it out with great friends stay away from the student government
and tightly associated clubs. They breed the hive mind with
their current quest for ideological purity. Be
respectful of teachers while making sure to remain unafraid
to speak up. Join clubs that don't involve the SJW crowds
opinions. If they really ruin your class time, you're wise to
go down the sciences route. Above all know that there are
many, many kids out there who think like us, yes, who are kept
saying by no agenda and other independent outlets who would
jump to know you exist to you candidly, if you haven't found
them by junior year, Yale may not be the best place for you.
Although I would never begrudge you for keeping that Ivy League
name attached. Anyway, there's a little note that was good to
read because it's right. Yeah, millennials Yes.
We're proud of and there's hope there's there's some hope. Just
so you know.
In case you have one for next Sunday, we do have a jingle for
spot this book.
That's the spoon. Spot the spoon. Everybody wants to spot
the spoon.
Nice. Nice. Chad time mom. So you know we have works yeah, I
think it's okay. Hey, there was a
there's a bit of my to mute to music. What do you want?
Sorry, nothing,
but okay.
Elizabeth, it was Yeah, but I'm gonna wait please. No.
No, I'm gonna skip here for a second I'm gonna go to Kirby if
you don't mind. The these these booths. I know State Department
spokes all my favorite. We have an additional 250 boots on the
ground which we know we never said we wouldn't put boots on
the ground. This is not really boots on the ground, but it's
people's feeds and boots. And so we have troops in Syria.
Question come that I was thinking about, I was saying
about that last thing you play when they were trying to do Get
out of the the guy criminally say like, these aren't boots on
the ground. They're all wearing Nikes.
That's the other guys do a very valid question. Hey, you know,
how we just thrown troops on the ground anywhere we want now? Can
we just do that in any country you want? You know, we made a
big deal about doing that in Iraq until we came in. We kicked
the other guy out who was being a pain in the ass and the new
guy came in, it's like, oh, yeah, please come and help us
remember that? Oh, yeah, we didn't where it worked. We
didn't do that with the Syria did weigh
on the deployment of US forces in Syria. Syrian Foreign
Ministry has strongly condemned the deployment today and said
this intervention is rejected and illegitimate. That happened
without the Syrian government's approval. And it's a blatant act
of aggression. That constitutes a dangerous intervention and the
gross violation of Syria sovereignty. The defense, the
Iranian defense minister has said that the US decision to
send more troops to Syria is a flagrant aggression to any any
comment on that? Well,
he's right. We didn't seek the Syrian government's approval
before, before making this decision. And I find it the
height of irony to call this a blatant act of aggression, when
they continue to gas and barrel bomb their own people.
Reportedly, now bombing lies in Aleppo, that, and those are
blatant acts of aggression against their own people, their
own citizens. This is and I'll say it again, as I've said
several times today, this is a a, an additional increase of
special operations forces, that will be doing advise and assist
missions to help those fighters who are going against ash become
more effective in the field. That's it. That's their job.
And what about it on defense Minister's statement about Iran,
Iran, Defense Minister has said the same thing and
why would my answer be any different to Iran? If they said
doesn't say anything about Iran, you said about that gene? Well,
it still stands. I mean, I don't know why my answer would be
voted on in that assessment. Yeah. He's saying that Iran
defense minister said it was a blatant Act Of Aggression for us
to put special operation Exactly. What my answer would be
the same. It's not. It's not
a breach of sovereignty, though,
is it a breach of Syrian sovereignty, as you recognize
that sovereignty?
This is we have had this discussion so many times say,
he's, he's, this is a really key question. Have we had this
discussion so many times about sovereignty of other nations? He
sounds exasperated. Oh, we've gone over the sub, we are
allowed to invade other countries. Don't you know this?
It's not isn't the breach of sovereignty, though? Is it a
breach of Syrian sovereignty? As you recognize that sovereignty?
This is we have had this discussion so many times say the
President has the authorities he needs to go after Dash. And
that's what this is. And this is part of a coalition effort.
We're not the only ones involved in this fight. There. 66 other
nations?
Yeah. So I decided to go and see if I can figure out a little bit
about you know, what exactly is the permission how or what,
under what ruling? How is this okay? Do we need an act of
Congress? What are we doing? This is more than just a couple
of dudes hanging out. Now it's becoming more and more. It seems
like we're breaching sovereignty, Senator wicker was
questioning General Dunford about this very issue.
General Dunford. Think it's been as Chairman,
I'm sorry. Weicker,
I think it's Weicker. Weicker. Okay?
Thank you Weicker.
Yeah, General Dunford. As Chairman McCain just pointed
out, most of the fatalities and civilian casualties in Syria are
caused by Bashar Assad's barrel bombs and air attacks, barrel
bombs narrow. Do you agree that we have the capability to take
out Assad's Air Force? I do, Senator and why have we not done
so?
We have not declared war on the on the Syrian regime. Senator.
You're not saying it would take a congressional declaration of
war to take that action, but
I think it would take the president directing us to do
that, Senator.
Okay. So the wonder why the President has not directed us to
prevent the civilian fatalities and casualties by taking out
Assad's Air Force.
The task is given us militarily as against ISIL. Senator,
what would be your recommendation in that regard?
specifically as to whether attacked or whether we should
take out the air force that is causing the majority of the
civilian fatalities and casualties. Yeah, Senator, I
prefer not to give that recommendation in public policy
recommendation that if I was going to provide that I provided
to the president private.
The point is we don't how do we how we're really there, what are
we doing if we declared war, we're going to declare war? What
are we going to do what I'm gonna do about this?
Who's that idiot that was asking the questions Weicker that was
Weicker, I
was like, yep. Now by when the highest I could get the
Secretary of Defense, Ash Carter. And now he is finally
going to explain about the authorized use of oh, excuse me.
Excuse me. authorized use of military force. There we go. And
what why he wanted that when he didn't get it and how we can
still be there.
But what I struggle with is how can we criticize the Russian
incursion into Ukrainian sovereignty, when we are
carrying out now escalating military operations in Syria
without the permission, and really even against the will of
the sovereign event name?
That's a kind of a moot question. And I like that kind
of comparison.
That's a great question. How
does that work?
I am correct. Am I not that Syria has not invited us to
conduct military operations within the nation of Syria?
You're correct. And just to address a couple of the points
that you've made. First of all, I want to hasten to say I'm no
lawyer.
But boy, Will. He is the Secretary of Defense, the guy in
charge of the war apparatus.
So you know, I'm no lawyer,
you can understand why that got my attention.
But we do have lawyers. Oh, we have with respect to the AUMF.
authorization for the use of military force. I agree with
you, I testified in favor of there being such an A you AUMF
it for and importantly, because it would signify to the troops
that the country is behind them.
Now, how about that? No one ever, then I don't think they
ever sold it that way. So let get us let us go kick some ass
officially because the boys and girls out there, they're a
little confused. They wait, what are we doing? Do we have been
duly declared war, who is supposed to do to be allowed to
go to something that can continue to show a piece of
paper. So we know what's real. We see now confusion, illegal
orders, elite, all kinds of things are happening with this
confusing chain of command. And apparently, the Secretary of
Defense has a problem because he's not a lawyer, but he's got
lawyers, and let's continue
so that the country is behind them. Now, I think they feel
like they're behind them in the shower. And I tried to attest to
that your visits to the region attest to that. So I think they,
they feel that but that would have been another way of
attesting to that. I am told by the lawyers that I believe this
that the legal basis for what we're doing exists in both
domestic law and international law for everything we're doing.
But again, I'm not.
I gotta play that, again. I believe the lawyers tell me that
everything we're doing is all justified, according to our law
and international law.
It's to the region attest to that. So I think they, they feel
that but that would have been another way of attesting to
that. I am told by the lawyers that I believe this that the
legal basis for what we're doing exists in both domestic law and
international law for everything we're doing. But again, I'm not
I'm not the expert on that and couldn't explain to you the ins
and outs of it. I you know, I always
say hey, parents, your kids are going off there you can we'll
explain why we can do it or whatever. But you just trust me.
The lawyer said it's okay. This guy is a dig, dig, dig dig. I
will say that the the the if there's a difference between
what we're doing in Syria and what the Russians did in
Ukraine, and we're trying to fight real terrorists, we're not
trying to destabilize a stable situation.
We're trying to every every word is Assad has to go. He has to
go. But we're not trying to destabilize anything really. I
mean, no, no, that's Assad must go
Russians. The Russians were the victims of the game. We're the
ones who destabilize the Ukraine. Yeah. Or McCrea not the
Ukraine, Ukraine?
Yeah, we did. We destabilized it and to say we're not trying to
do it. destabilize any we're fighting terrorism. Assad must
go.
If there's a difference between what we're doing in Syria, what
the Russians did in Ukraine and we're trying to fight real
terrorists real not trying to destabilize a stable situation
a stable situation. So
we're trying to,
unlike Libya, no, that was the There's a perfectly stable
situation or an
order and decency not the other way Wow
roll that back it's almost over last few minutes
this is great situation
so we're trying to return order and decency not the other way
around so I don't want a lawyer would say but as common sense in
IRAs
Oh, I don't know what a lawyer would say But Bill we were
fighting real terrorists we're trying to destabilize anything
dammit, I lost him right in my clip of the day 246 Yes every 30
minutes amazing. Okay, come on back boys. Come on back. Come on
back.
Got something back. Not everybody's back what happened?
That was weird. That's connected. What is this one not
connected. Aman Aman. Aman that'll help. Okay, we're back.
We should just connect in a moment. Yeah, John disconnected.
Get him back now. Okay. Out 30 minutes. Exactly.
Yeah, what the fuck is that bullshit?
I don't know. That's really I
say some government thing. Oh, man.
I don't even get the stream going again. 30 minutes. It's
almost to the tee. Come on. Stop. Me we go. Try it again.
Okay.
So I believe we left off where you are going to give me Clip of
the Day.
No, no, no. Nice try.
Come on. Come on.
Borderline Clip of the Day,
borderline
take. You know, I had to hold wind up. I'd followed the trail.
No clip for the day.
I can't say for sure why it's not a clip of the day but it
what it just lacked. I think it like the energy. Okay. Well,
let me try this one.
Let me try this wasn't that surprising?
Come on. The whole lawyer bid was pretty funny.
Yeah, it was okay. It was funny to a point but it was borderline
by Elizabeth
Warren did one of those come in and talk before the empty Senate
deals?
The bullshit thing that was you know, invented largely by Newt
Gingrich. No, really? I didn't know that. Yeah, he's the one
that first utilized the idea of talking too late at night to an
empty audience and letting it stream on C span. And he kind of
invented the idea.
Well, she takes advantage of it. And she was doing a rant about
Dodd Frank. And, of course, we know and think Jim Briony also
did a whole piece on the amendment, that pretty much, you
know, throughout the whole, the whole notion of taxpayers not
being on the hook for derivatives for derivatives felt
there was another crisis. And she speaks not that I have just
a short bit of the clip just for the funny bit. She speaks about
$10 trillion worth of derivatives that are now
federally insured. And that $10 trillion is from three banks.
And that's, you know, derivatives. So it's, it's
basically it's an insurance, but it's from it's from the three
it's, you know, it's Chase city and was Bank of America that it
or JP Morgan
was one of the it's probably Mike, I don't know. I don't know
if it's JP Morgan or Bank of America sounds more like JP
Morgan. Yeah. But
it's three, it's three guys and three banks. And so she's
talking about that and how it's a travesty and we're all gonna
die. That's pretty much what she's saying. But you know, but
she has to explain to people what this what we're going to go
through again, she's trying to explain how derivatives are
dangerous. Man, I wish she would be great as the president you
know, I'm sad. She's not running on it. I guess she's has no more
chance to
problem I see with her as a president as she's a big talker.
Yes. And I get this from when she came on. The floor of the I
guess she's a senator. She comes out and she goes on about the
robo calls. Yeah. And then she plays one you know where I am
showing so you know Robo caller. This is they've never been
stopped as now they get these guys conference they claim to be
with the IRS. I got another one of those calls, by the way just
didn't follow up and get a recording. Yeah, it's slightly
different Indian
anyway, but the reason why I think she'd be fun as a
president because we get lots of great sound bites and clips from
her because she's crazy. Mr. President,
eight years ago, we suffered through the worst financial
crisis in generations, millions of people lost their homes,
their jobs, their savings, and although the economy has
improved under President Obama's leadership, many of those
families are still struggling to recover today. Terrible subprime
mortgages were at the heart of this crisis. But Wall Street
invented other new financial devices, including exotic
derivatives that piled risks on top of risks in the financial
market. The subprime mortgages were like hand grenades, but the
derivatives packed them together and magnified the risks turning
them into giant bombs that blew up parts of the economy.

hand grenades written that clip that Of course I did, even

Let's go to screwball twist to the San Bernardino killings.
And breaking news tonight from California. Arrests stemming
from the investigation into the terror attack in San Bernardino,
the brother of the shooter Sian Farouk, and the brother's wife
and another woman accused of a marriage scheme to allow one of

husband wife team of attackers, Sayed Farouk and his Pakistani
wife was put under tight scrutiny for any possible
wrongdoing. In February, FBI agents raided the family home,
removing files and documents leading to the arrest today of
three members of Farooq family for rooks Baja he'll a decorated
US Navy veteran, right his wife, Tatiana, Tatiana, sister, Maria,
all charged with a marriage fraud scam to get a green card
for Maria, who is a Russian citizen.
The illegal immigration activities of these individuals
never would have been discovered were it not for their
involvement with the San Bernardino attackers.
But when the FBI arrested for rooks best friend Enrique
Marquez for providing the guns used in the attack agency
Marquez admitted he was being paid to go through with a sham
marriage with Maria, the other Russian sister authorities nice
was living with a man in Los Angeles, who she said was the
father of her child and not Marquez. David the government
provided no evidence today that any of these three were involved
in the actual attack in San Bernardino or knew about it in
