Hate him hate him hate him hate him hate me.
Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. March 30 2017 This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode nine or one six.
This is no agenda,
analyzing article 50 So you don't have to and broadcasting
live in the darkest corner here in downtown Austin Tejas
capital, the drone star stated morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're in the midst of a
wind storm. I'm John C. Dvorak. Hill.
Oh, interesting. We have a lot of wind here too. At the moment.
Everything's blowing. Blowing is dangerous though. And in Texas
when it's 80 degrees and wind is very dangerous. Why? Fire?
Oh, yeah. Well, same thing here Viet 80 degrees in a lot of wind
it would be Well, right now so green. I don't think anything
can burn, right? Well,
the only difference is in Texas. It's only green where people
live. You know, the stuff that burns is where people live in
California. You burn the hillside. Yeah, you know, the
nature you burn nature and we burn people store Texas.
one step better.
What can I tell you? Before we start, John, one of our
producers, JJ Meyer has been helping me in particular to
helping us as you know, we always try to fix ourselves when
it comes to things that we're saying and repeating. And we've
gone through it a number of iterations of this. Yes, he's
one of those guys. But he's doing it in a very friendly
manner. I like it now. Hey, I'll
do it in a friendly manner. I know when they were answered,
well deserved. That we we do these things. Yes. Yep.
So we've done fact of the matter end of the day, right? Number of
things that we've healed from you haven't quite healed, but
you're on your way off. I healed from what? Well, you will say
things like you you actually say the fact of the matter and I
meant to say that, which is kind of a cop out. I mean, you just
need to buy
could get me time caught it. Or, or or it's possible that I meant
to say it.
Well, apparently, okay. I
know what you're saying. Because I do this a lot. I do this a
lot. That mod I always catch it. Yeah. But yes, you keep saying
of course. Yes. This
is what JJ Meyers discovered that I say of course, a lot. In
fact,
I wish somebody put a medley together
on episode nine or one four, I said it 22 times you said it
only once. Yeah. So nine or one five.
You know, the here's the way I see it. Let's just back off.
Maybe Maybe he's missing the point. Because when I say
something you would naturally say.
That's over now. That's over. We're not gonna do any of that
anymore. No, no, no. i Episode 915. I said it 33 times. Two
year to two. Yeah. Now, we need people to help us. Help me. Help
me. I need a lot of help. Have you ever had you're about to
turn 65? April 5. Very excited about your birthday.
Please have a number of birthday. Greetings for the
first
time in 10 years. I sent you a gift. You did? I did? Oh, that's
cute. Here's what's fun. Oh, 10 years of knowing you. I still
don't have your address written down anywhere.
Oh, you know, staying with you. I keep the email addresses. They
sent it to me. I put it I take it from the email, read it right
on the package. I know. And then they're still gone. What is
wrong with us? And the email should say, address or something
in this? Or does I went here you go.
I went through that last night as well. I'm like, Ah, screw it.
I'm just sending it to the PIO box. I know where to find that
address. So it's coming to the PIO box tomorrow. Or Saturday
tomorrow with it. But have you ever had this happen? This is
the weirdest thing. So our garbage this but my garbage
disposal broke. It's not ours yet. We're moving to a new place
that will be ours. And it was leaking water. And so I'm
walking around the kitchen block and on my socks. And I walked
through some water. Oh, man, what's going on? So I discover
this.
And I find it very annoying to walk in socks into water. Right?
Me too. And then so I figured out the problem and you know,
put it in a regular you know, put a little bowl under it and
don't use that side of the sink. Okay, fine. Then I couldn't find
my socks. Like what did I do with my socks?
Oh, wait, you took the okay. You took this you stepped in the
water with your socks. And instead of just walking it off?
You took the socks off? Yeah. And then you put them someplace
and lost them? Yes. Congratulations.
Where did I put them? Oh where my socks go. I Download them.
And it was actually I didn't find frigerator not close. It
wasn't until about half an hour later Tina says Can I ask you a
question? Yeah, I know your socks are wet but why did you
throw them in the trash?
Wow. Decadent it I said
I have no
dossier, my socks got wet. I must throw them away.
What am I doing? does that how does this happen with more
frequency the older you get?
No, I My goal is to just make sure I never put the keys to the
car in the refrigerator. And then I you've done you're good.
You've done. That doesn't happen. I'm still good.
You've done that. You what? You've done that you've put the
keys in the refrigerator.
No, no, I never have but I always suspected something that
could happen.
Oh, man, anyway. Oh, and last night, I discovered something I
have a grief. I've had I've had some beef. I should save a beef.
Sean Spicer sweaty Shawn listen up. When they took over the
White House, they also took over the White House website. And
there's now only one RSS feed for the entire site where there
used to be separate feeds for policy documents for executive
orders for proclamations. So I've been missing important
proclamations. And we know that's this is a very important
part of any president's job.
Well, it's also important part of the show, and this is how
you've been doing it.
Yeah. And so now I just Oh, wait a minute. There's no RSS feed.
No wonder it's not showing up anymore. You sure? Yeah. I'm
very sure. So we missed March 25. That's Greek Independence
Day, a national day of celebration of Greek and
American democracy. Very sad about that. We missed national
poison prevention week, March 15, through 2017. And then, of
course, the executive order that well, we want to talk about that
right now. I went through the energy independence and economic
growth executive order I was freaking out about. Yeah, if you
want to do it's not a it's not a very Yeah,
what it well, why don't you go there right now and tell us what
they're freaking out about?
Well, because Trump did exactly what he promised.
This guy, you know, your elected guy promises and he actually
goes and does them. It's really cool. It has been Oh, no, this
is political incompetence, it's nutty.
Now, he's really, really done quite a lot. Been reversing or
actually nullifying. Now, actually, the record is it's
either revoke. It's two words, there's revoke. And then the
other word is gotta find that revoke or save. I wish it would
revoke or save. Well, I'll tell you what is actually in it. And
what this is removing is the former administration's Clean
Power Plan. And a lot of this is about coal. But the Clean Power
Plan was kind of problematic. 27 states 24 trade associations and
37 Rural Electric Co Ops and three labor unions have lawsuits
against the Clean Power Plan. Of course, that's a lot of that is
about coal. The executive order stops all pending litigation
clean, just really cleans up everything lists the ban on
federal leasing for coal production. What I liked in the
actual language, because there's a I think the news media did
just get the the summary and they just use that it doesn't
seem like they actually read the full executive order. The idea
and this is part policy, promoting energy independence
and economic growth. Part of the policy is we should be using our
own resources, which I think a lot of people have said, why
wouldn't we do that? Anyway, finally, we can cut off Canada
as our source of foreign oil. Although we'll make we'll make
pipelines and stuff a lot easier. But the thing I liked
here is the part of the policy. It is in the national interest
to ensure the nation's electricity as affordable,
reliable, safe, secure and clean, and that it can be
produced from the following coal, natural gas, nuclear
material, flowing water and other domestic resources
including renewed renewable sources. As a policy I think
that's pretty good.
I liked it. It was reasonable. I
like seeing nuclear in there flowing water. I don't know why
they don't say hydropower but okay. Flowing water. And it's
exactly what he promised to do. And yeah, it removes A lot of
Obama's it. I think the main thing, which is really a gotcha
is there was this there was some committee, some blue ribbon
committee about the social cost of carbon, or some bull crap
like that. All kinds of luminaries on it, boom, goodbye.
You're now disbanded go away. And for those of us who question
the science on climate change, yeah, looks like we can do a lot
more. I'd love to see more nuclear. I'd love to see clean
coal, which you've always touted as it possibilities that in play
now clean coal,
it's been in play for
a while. Does it work?
Yeah. It's not as clean as as natural gas. But it's, it's
clean. Okay. I mean, the floating bed technologies, the
scrubbers that you can put on the stacks, you can really get
most of the stuff out of the stacks. If you put a little
effort into it. Right, electrostatic precipitators.
There's a lot of technologies that can clean up the the
effluent from this from the burning coal is not the problem
would call the way I see it. And I'm not in the business, and
haven't been for 25 years. But what I have been is the is the
coal ash, the coal ash is is a huge pain in the ash if they
could find something to do with coal ash, that was beneficial.
Somehow, in other words, instead of being a big piece of crap
that they don't know what to do with and it makes a mess. But he
turned it into something you doubt would be it? We would be
back right back on call.
Well, he did exactly what he said he would do. And it was, it
was actually interesting because Brian Williams, the bastion of
truth, was able to take you know, I guess Trump tweeted
something, we'll figure it out. It's in this article. So he
tweeted, tweeted something, and when lost their crap over it,
but listen,
what Brian tweeted, oh, no,
listen, what Brian Williams does, and how he turns this
right towards climate change.
The leader of the free world was back.
Oh, man, he's not the leader of the free world. Please stop
this. I would be really sad if any American president was truly
the leader of the free world,
the leader of the free world was back on Twitter who's
gonna stop that? Again? I think I not you mentioned and pointed
out you're right. It's dumb. But I think this is part of the
globalist agenda. Of
course it is. This is why they're so angry.
Let's make this. Yeah, the leader of the free world. It's
not delete. You're right, it'd be as the President of the
United States is not the leader of the free world. In fact, it
is a complete that might now that you brought it up, I'm
irked about it's a micro aggression.
It's a micro aggression against every other country. Yes,
of course, it is like, hey, bitches. We got the leader of
the free world who you it's a complete micro aggression. It's
not nice. And I remember this used to be set all the time when
I was growing up in Europe, and people would roll their eyes.
leader of the free world. Okay, if you can point to Denmark on
the map you're in. That's how that's how the Europeans would
think about it.
Yes. And I'm sure that would be a good test for most. So leader
that I have a bit later in the show. I have such a test. Oh,
very good. The leader
of the free world was back on Twitter tonight, another version
of Nothing to see here on the Russia story. Another attempt to
actually to diminish our institutions promote Fox News
and deflect the attention of to the Clintons quote, why doesn't
fake news talk about Podesta ties to Russia, as covered by
Fox News, or money from Russia to Clinton, sale of uranium and
Michael, you know, I like to invoke the shiny object rule,
which means that there's a distraction in the air to keep
us away from the story. But today, the Russia argument kept
us away from a very serious story at the EPA signing
ceremony today, and this deserves more than I mentioned
by us tonight, but what he signed today, executive order
that nullifies Obama's climate change efforts and revives the
coal industry. Another note about that in a moment, but the
US will not meet Obama era co2 guidelines, quote, turning
denials of climate change into national policy. This network
pointed out all day the coal industry employs roughly 70,000
individuals right now it got hard to ramp that up in a way
given the fuel source, but this was why
what does he mean by that hard to ramp that up? Because it's
okay here. This
is the meme that's going around. I started seeing this
gunblood You caught something about last week.
It the main began with Oh 70,000 jobs. Walmart employs
$400,000 400,000 people. How is 70,000 more important than four
400,000 Got
it. Got it? Of course he's
all the wrong way. 70,000 is a lot if they showed up from
for your birthday party would be. Yeah. Oh,
yeah
ramped that up in a way given the fuel source. But this was
real substantive news for our children and our children's
children.
Please think of the children today at EPA.
Sure, Brian. I mean, there's nothing more important than the
fate of the climate and the planet. That's right.
There's nothing more important than the fate of the planet and
the climate. Hello, Captain Obvious,
and it is the case. For better and worse, I guess from the
Trump administration that this Russia story is clouding
everything else out. I mean, they I think Trump is doing some
things that are not popular nationally, they're not getting
the attention that they would they might be generating more
outrage. It's, I'm glad you brought it up, Brian, because it
deserves more prominence than it's getting partly because of
the antics around the Russian investigation.
Okay. So that's how we bring it all back to to the EPA. Now on
the previous episode, I brought one of my famous expos A's in
this case, renewable energy with Al Gore. And a lot of people
call it something that neither I nor you caught. And I know why I
didn't catch it, because I was just too deep. And you were
right. The the, the entire package was probably two clips
too long, I should have taken them out got a little confusing.
But instead of holding that until our post show analysis,
you were thinking I'm so bored. And that's why you missed it
because you usually catch this stuff. And it was right at the
end of Al Gore, general partner at Kleiner Perkins with
investments in over 20 renewable companies when he said the
following
and in markets. It's the difference between capital
that's frozen up and liquid flows of new investments chasing
new opportunities. That's the inflection point that we're
right that we're poised on right now, with renewable energy that
is cheaper than the old dirty polluting energy. And once the
solar panels are installed, by the way, there's no fuel costs
for the next kilowatt hour. It's zero marginal cost. There's no
pollution involved there no moving parts, and adopting a
slightly longer timeframe for the decision making. You say,
Well, wait a minute, it's not just the cost this year or for
the next year or two. It's the lifetime cost. We make a lot of
a lot more money, we save a lot more money by shifting to the
non polluting sources.
That is the truth always wants to come out. Exactly. Yeah, you
make a lot more money, you do Al Gore, you make a lot more money.
Now following up on this, I received a number of emails once
again, I am blown away by our producers who come from all
walks of life, including producer who shall go unnamed, I
was treasurer for a large energy company. In the European Union,
he told me which one it is he checks out. But he wants that to
be kept confidential. I believe this puts me in an excellent
position to follow the money feel free to use this info. In
Europe, we have something called the merit order, meaning that
there is a specific order in which the different sources are
prioritized on the grid, solar and wind first and all the way
down to coal, meaning that all the sources being thought of as
clean have a very high priority on the grid. This makes the
entire system very inefficient. On high wind days with a with a
decent amount of sunshine, there's more power available
than we are able to handle. The net effect is negative prices.
This is sometimes used to pump water into basins and drain them
when prices are high. Think about that. We're actually
wasting energy. The process is called pumped storage. Oh, okay.
I guess you store the energy by pumping it into a basin. And
then you can get the energy back with hydro as you drain it out.
Actually, there is a one of the plants if you go up the 101 I
think in toward Port Angeles, in Washington State, there's one of
these plants and it has one of these systems that they pump
when they have a lot of energy, they pump this they don't pump
into a basin, they pump it up the hill into a big reservoir.
And then when they need that energy, they run it down these
pipes into a hydroelectric plant. So it's kind of a
battery. It's a storage system. That's interesting. It's a form
of a battery. Exactly. I
wonder what the efficiency is of that crap. This process makes
the coal and gas plants very inefficient, since it is hard
and energy consuming to start them up. In itself. This is not
an issue other than some financial environmental aspects.
The big downside is that the taxpayer is paying for this
inefficiency. Wind and solar are still very far from being
profitable without subsidies. Our current thinking and this is
he saying the industry is that offshore wind will never,
certainly not work. Then 20 years give any decent return on
investment. onshore wind might break even in 10 years depending
on technological developments. Solar is nice but not usable on
any scale in the coming 10 years. However, if you throw in
a large amount of subsidies, you get a money bonanza. Putting up
more wind does not help anything other than the contractors that
build them and energy companies that run them. Since most of the
old school energy providers are having to take huge impairments
on their assets, coal and gas, they are investing like crazy
and new wind parks. New permits are sold for very high amounts,
it is a lose lose situation for these companies. Don't do it go
bankrupt and have a lot of assets that are virtually
useless or do it and pay way too much. So I'm trying to locate
the their bad assets in separate listings on the stock exchange.
I hope this helps feel free to disregard or contact me if you
want more information. But then you gotta have it. It's all
obvious. None of it's surprising, but it's nice to
hear it from somewhere else in the industry. And on the
treasurer the financial side. Yeah. So he knows the numbers.
He knows the numbers. So then for Al Gore to say it's cheaper.
Yeah, with subsidies. It's cheaper and if it's based on
bankruptcy. Thank you for putting that in the newsletter.
Yeah, it's
how you read it.
It's kind of Of course I always read the news. I corrected the
newsletter.
Did you ever read the final though and had all the pictures?
Brief? Look, I didn't have turn. Yeah. Was it good?
I'm sure it was great. Oh, it's hilarious. was the funniest
newsletter ever wrote?
Man, I can't believe it.
I did a Redux on the on the mudflats
that I did see? Yeah. How's it looking? It Oh, let me take a
look. Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on a second. I'm gonna
have I shouldn't have asked that. If I wasn't even prepared
because of what's happening in Greenland right now. The maps of
the world will have to be redrawn. This is what would
happen to San Francisco Bay
right everybody J C. Dvorak power the mud flats as you look
out your window
still there. It's a very It looks like a summer semi low tie
that tell you this, the mud flats are pretty barren, but it
freeways all jammed up for some reason. Geez.
Also now just coming out, according to the Guardian. US
scientists launch world's biggest solar geoengineering
study, it's gonna happen. It's going to happen. I predicted
this. I said, Oh, they're gonna do it. And they're gonna say we
were testing for a while anyway, we know it works. And then of
course, we understand where chemtrails come from. Scientists
hope to complete to small scale dispersals of first water then
calcium carbonate particles. Future tests could involve
involves seeding the sky with aluminum oxide, or even
diamonds, now you're talking
diamonds in the sky forever. Diamonds in this Lucy in the Sky
with
Diamonds? Unbelievable. So it's gonna happen geoengineering.
That's all we need. That's all we need.
Yeah, we can't do it. You're right. But a joke. Yeah, that'll
screw things up big time. Well, that's what that movie would
take the train going through Snowpiercer or whatever it was,
was all about Snowpiercer Oh, you gotta watch this movie is
fantastic. I'll write it down it sure I got the title, right
chatroom, given the right title. I think it's called Snowpiercer.
To dynamite science fiction movie. It's about a train that
has to keep moving round a globe round around around forever, for
infinite time, because some jokers had fooled around with
the climate and the whole globe froze over
now. Snowpiercer is correct. Okay, I've written it down.
Okay, good. Excellent.
I have recommended Hey,
you have I saw of course, for people who don't know when we
when we do this program. I have no idea what John's bring into
every episode. He has no idea what I'm bringing to every
episode. And I don't listen to his clips. I
have no idea creates the dynamic clash we're looking for does so
I would
humbly request that you roll out your package of article 50
Ah, yes. Well, the big news this week of course was article 50.
Yes. Which has been implemented by
surprising that we kind of expected that not to happen
I'll still I'm still waiting. I'm holding out you think
that even though it's triggered there's still there's still no
no Brexit and until the fat lady sings?
I'm until there's the until there's a Brexit there's no
Brexit. Now we have I have a bunch of clips obviously in
article 50. A lot of them are involving. Well, let's first
start with this this is the this little Faraj clip is caught on
the street. And he makes a little comment at the end which
I'm going to use as the theme for these clips. 75
years I've been campaigning on this and standing in elections
and making these arguments and I guess the honest truth is for
the first 22 or 20 Three years it was a real minority sport,
you know, we were laughed at abused. It was an impossible
dream. And hey, here we are. It's happening. And at 1230.
Today, we passed the point of no return. There'll be lots of
arguments about the deal. That negotiations, but the big story
is, after today, we are leaving. Where will you be at 1230 when
the Prime Minister makes her speech, obviously won't be in
Parliament to witness it. How
will you be taking in this moment?
I might be at a pub. Undoubtedly, yeah, no, it's it
is a big moment. And I, what I get is this, there are lots of
people here in Westminster this morning that are bitter, angry,
upset, but actually out there in the country. There is now quite
a big acceptance that this has happened. And we need to get on
with it and the Prime Minister was calling for the country to
come together. I think in a way it is.
Okay, is it coming together? Suppose there was definitely not
coming together in Parliament?
No, I agree that things are changing a tad bit in in
Britain,
that start with article 50 invoked part one and this is the
the during Prime Minister question time they stop. They
stop the questions. And they they do this order.
statement. The Prime Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To get today, the government acts on
the democratic will of the British people. And it acts to
on the clear and convincing position of this house. A few
minutes ago in Brussels, the United Kingdom's Permanent
Representative to the EU handed a letter to the President of the
European Council on my behalf, confirming the government's
decision to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.
The article 50 process is now underway. And in accordance with
the wishes of the British people. The United Kingdom is
leaving the European Union.
It reminds me a little bit of George Bush when he announced
shocking all over Baghdad.
Little reality of course, she didn't have these people yelling
at him. Now, the next she does by the way, it's very long. It's
about six minutes. I'm only playing couple of clips, but I
have to play these. There's two other little clips I want to
play one is the is she's talking away and then she gets in. It's
getting so raucous in there. This by the way in the raucous
This is coming from the labor side, but mostly from the
Scottish National Party people to Scotland.
They wanted to stay there a bunch of they want to stay and
have Europe steal their fish. They liked that. Apparently,
that sounds exactly like what they're angling for. But let's
play part two where you get the interruption yet. And this is a
an example of understatement for it as an insult which the
British do better than Americans, generally speaking,
is a good one,
a country that reaches beyond the borders of Europe.
Can I just apologize for having to interrupt the Prime Minister,
Mr. Boss, welcome yourself. You've got to try to learn to
behave in a statesman like fashion. Yes, you're long term
goal. It may be very long term,
but it should be ago. What I
say to the house is this. You can study the record, I will
want all colleagues to have the chance to question the Prime
Minister, that this is a very important statement. And I think
it is reasonable to expect that the prime minister gets a
courteous hearing. And then every other colleague should get
a courteous. The Prime Minister,
Mr. Speaker, I want us to be a truly global Britain, the best
friend and neighbor to our European partners, but a country
that reaches beyond the borders of Europe to
you know, I've always appreciated that. And certainly
these days, I appreciate how the Brits I lived there for five
years so I have a little standing. I appreciate the
sarcastic way they can tear you down. I think the only time we
had that a classy tear down in the United States and politics
was I'm sorry, Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy. Here if anyone
says anything, it's right away. micro aggression.
You think you
Yeah, where are you the classy comeback. So it's nice is
nobody cares, okay? They just want to scream at people. But
now let's hear that this is the last of these of these clips
from this particular presentation. And it's it's very
contrasted to what you've seen by the mainstream media they
don't show you any of this stuff that you're great let me finish
this needs a lot of setup because they I don't know why we
don't get to see this stuff. But this last example from the from
the Prime Minister triangle To save finish or damned six minute
speech, which you couldn't do, because they kept yelling and
screaming, this is I left up this clip intact. So you can
hear how long it went on, when the Scots just went off on her.
And they're yelling all kinds of crazy stuff. And they're just
and it goes on and on and on and on. And the the speaker of that
of the parliament never stopped it, which is really weird to me,
because he could have it should have, but he let it go on. So
she had to kind of interrupt her way back in, I just found this
to be the most interesting one moment of the whole event,
the European Union and the wider world. Because perhaps now more
than ever, the world needs the liberal democratic values of
Euro values.
Now, more than half the world leads the liberal democratic
values of Europe, values that the United Kingdom shares. And
that is why we are leaving the institutions of the European
Union. We are not leaving Europe, we will remain a close
friend and ally, we will be a committed partner, we will play
our part to ensure that Europe is able to project its values
and defend itself from security threats.
Yeah, where was the Order? Order?
Yeah, I was baffled by that moment. Yeah, he didn't say
anything. He just let them go. I mean, make her sound better.
Here they were. And the visuals on this was dynamite. Because
they shot over the word the Scots are and they're slapping
their knees and they're pointing and they're laughing. They're
slapping each other on the back. And they're making a huge racket
over her comment, which was that European liberal values are
important
that she her, you know, the problem is she doesn't command
the audience. He or she needs to project differently in order to
shut them up by an example
will be committed
will play a ritual that you're able to protect his values
and to punish it doesn't sound good in the vocoder.
I know. That's too bad. It's too bad. Oh, eight ball was bet was
the best? It depends.
Yeah, it really depends on your voice. Sometimes it just doesn't
sound good to that.
So I believe this is I believe this is Juncker and he's making
just kind of a sad commentary on Article 52. The
United Kingdom leaves the European Union. EU law will
continue to apply to and within the UK. Finally, I would like to
say that we have just released an official statement by the
European Council, in which leaders stress that we will act
as one and start negotiations by focusing on all key arrangement
for an orderly withdrawal. On Friday, I will share a proposal
of the negotiating guidelines with the member states to be
adopted by the European Council on the 29th of April. I will
refer to this and I will commend our proposals on Friday during
our press conference with Prime Minister Joseph Muscat in Malta.
What nothing we had an issue. Thanks and goodbye. Wasn't a
tusk.
That didn't sound like June. Yeah. May have been to a ski
right. Yeah, it
wasn't younger. I have a report from the eurozone about the rest
of the the EU leaders if I can interject for a moment. Yes,
Europe will be tough on the United Kingdom if it needs to in
Brexit negotiations. European Parliament President Antonio tie
Yanni has said Britain and the 27 remaining EU member states
now have two years to make a deal. Untie Yanni said Europe's
objective is to defend its citizens and would stand up for
itself. He said we don't have baddies or goodies. We are
defending the interests of citizens. That means we have to
take a tough stance we will do so. Our aim is only to defend
the interests of citizens. If we can do so without playing the
part of baddies. I would prefer that. I hope he can do so
politely gracefully, and in His presence and as nice a fashion
as possible. But we'll see the European Parliament's lead
negotiator Guy Verhofstadt wants the rights of EU nationals who
arrive in the UK over the next two years to be protected and
said MEPs are prepared to block a deal
if the outcome of the negotiations is not in
conformity with the points and with the conditions we have
public today Yeah, then we're gonna use our veto power. It's
clear. So the veto power for that. I mean, you can't stop
them from leaving can you know, is he talking purely about the
deal moving forward to deal with the deal? Right? What do they
need in the deal? Bank?
There's a rhetorical question here that needs to be asked,
which is the British, the Brits want to maintain the same trade
relations with the EU that they had before Brexit. That's pretty
much all they want, right. And the European Union was
established at the beginning, as I thought, and a lot of people
thought and I think Faraj likes to make this point as a trading
zone. So we could have all one market, it was no single market
thing. And then all of a sudden, or out of the blue, maybe not
quite out of the blue, but they started pushing it their weight
around about what regulate how countries should run themselves.
Right. So they set up these Commission's in Brussels,
mostly, to tell them what laws to obey what things to write.
And that's what they say, well, we stopped obey European law, as
opposed to British law. Right. Which is immoral.
already had it wasn't that the EEC? The European economic
community? Isn't that already in place? Can't they just use that?
No, no, that was incorporated. That's all part of the same
deal. I think it's all one thing now. And you have to be, and it
reminds me a little bit and that I wish people would more people
would read this book called whose Trade Organization WTO.
Right, we've taught it reminds me a little bit of what goes on
in the WTO, where they have managed to take American
sovereignty away with rules that are in violation of our own
laws. Yeah. But if you're going to be in the WTO, which is a
trade on it, yeah, you got to it. Right, you got to, which I
think is how the EU is going to end up dealing with Great
Britain, they're going to end up with, okay, you can write your
own laws on this. But but you know, because they were writing
laws, like on feather count in pillows, how many?
Yeah, and how much water toilet tank can contain all kinds of
stuff, like
all that sort of thing. So now as a trade agreement, they can
say, well, you can only trade with us if you obey these rules,
which will be the same rules. In other words, about the toilet
and about the pillows, which is the way the WTO works. So I
don't I mean, so all they're getting back is kind of a faux
sovereignty, because you're losing sovereignty with these
trade deals. these trade deals are horrible. And it's all part
of one world government is where I say there's one thing that
makes any sense you will obey, you will obey you will.
That's the message.
Now, I don't think that there's I mean, this is I still am not
confident this is going to work out the way they'd like like it
to.
No, I don't think so either. Of course, now, this is huge
strife.
Now, the thing that's the one meme going around the United
States and in the media is that Russia and Chris are pushing the
Russia thing even harder than ever.
Are you moving off you because I Brexit? No, no, no,
I'm not. I'm just gonna because then my next clip is about
article 50. From the perspective of RTI, yes, the rooskies. Now,
I don't have the whole thing because it was too long. But I
put a good amount of it in here, what their what the way their
their take is, oh, this all fallen apart. They're terrible.
They all hate the EU. I mean, the Russians are definitely
exaggerating it from the other perspective. But when I hear
stuff on American media where it says the Russians are trying to,
they don't like the EU, they're trying to undermine the EU.
They're trying to undermine our democracy,
everything
that we have to kill them is like, yes, they are trying to
undermine the EU. And why do you think that is? They're trying or
the other mean was there under trying to undermine the EU and
they're trying to undermine NATO? Yes, da Oh, those
questions. So let's place our tea.
Once article 50 is triggered Britain and the EU will have two
years to renegotiate that relationship. During that time
the UK will remain an EU member, albeit with one foot already out
the door. Then two years down the line Britain will officially
step out of the club and go it alone. The UK anti EU vote last
June shocked the political establishment and expose public
anger over uncontrolled migration and regulation from
Brussels. Growing popular
wow, I got to clip that one for myself. That was a great stop.
You're outta control.
That was a great stop sweeper. I gotta get that that was a good
one and
regulation from Brussels. Wow. Growing populist movements
across the continent are infused. Pre Brexit. Is it well,
this woman was considered a politician. Now she's tipped to
make the second round as France's looming presidential
election. The real blow to
the old order who makes the
thing that is going to set off a domino fact that will bring down
all the EU is Brexit. And sovereign people have decided
their own destiny.
Marine LePen, France's National Front leader wants the country
to decide its own destiny to she's called the EU a system of
oppression and has predicted that 2017 will be the year that
the people of continental Europe wake up. Oh, there it is, again.
Over in Germany, 80% of the population say that you you need
to be reformed. That's while Angular Merkel's position is
under threat from the Alternative for Germany party.
The anti immigration movement wants to withdraw from the EU
and impose a ban on new comers. It's expected to win its first
seats in Berlin's parliament this September,
foreign leaders no longer guarantee the basic principles
of European democracy. We don't believe the European Union is a
leading power any longer.
According to the European Commissioner Germany will have
to shell out over 4 billion euros extra into the European
budget once the UK leaves something that risks attracting
even more Germans to the anti European cause. Hold on a
second. Hold
on one second. John once it went on with Italy, us. Okay,
I just wanted to I saw that. It's just too good not to do it.
Okay. And have I sewed it. Nice. Okay, we'll call this Artie
stopped sweeper on a good one. That is our tea stop.
I think it's a bit extreme.
Well, of course, it's extreme. It's our tea. But it's still
darn good. I like no,
it's a good one. I'm not saying it's not good. But that mean
it's it's to the point of being almost cliche. It's almost. It's
almost too it's too as I think it's annoying.
I think here we'll do all this will work. This will sound
really good. Here we go. Dry scumbag. Perfect. I told you.
Yeah. No, no, that is that is actually I hate to do this. I
really hate to do this. Why? But that's so good. I want you to do
it again.
Okay, I just I just cleaned them up. All right, no problem. I can
do it again. I can recreate it in seconds. Here we go. Good
drive should come back. That's the best. That's a ringtone.
Right, everybody? Well, I think the message is think that's the
message?
Well, one of the things we have to remember. And Trump said it
only once that I recall, during the campaign, he says that the
EU was designed and I believe this to be true. Because that's
the way I always understood it. The EU was designed to to put
all these countries together so they can make a trading
partnership that can compete with the United States as the as
the as a big giant market, right where their own money and
everything. Yeah, with their own everything. And so that was the
idea. It was it was another words. It was a it was a foe to
the United States. So I've never been a fan of the EU knowing
that Trump brought it up once and it was jailed down. There's
a bunch of people in the United States that seem to think the EU
is, you know, it's the same like the people in Berkeley and other
areas that think they should have bike paths everywhere
because because if you put bike paths up, if you put a bike path
up, everyone will get a bike. So there's a bike path on on MYRIN
Avenue and Albany that goes up the road, it was a four lane
road going up and down the hill. And it worked very well as a
four lane road because when there was a stoplight you'd have
two lanes of cars waiting to go and they'd only back up like
maybe six deep. But now because there's only one lane in a bike
path they back up 12 deep at the same stoplight and it gets and
they don't clear. So you can't get through the stoplight. And
meanwhile the bike path. I've only seen this thing's been
there for I don't know six years now ruining the experience. Six
years I think I've seen two bicyclists on this thing. It's a
joke, but oh no, you build a bike. That's what did there's a
bunch of people that are all in on the EU and dry and riding
bicycles everywhere and all this idea a lot. You know, this idea
of idealism. It's unbelievable. And and so there's some we have
a bunch of you all as Trump doesn't like the EU, only you
know, and he shouldn't
only you could take us from Brexit to bikepath I do
appreciate that. That's that's very that's very, very
interesting. I had a lot of fun last night posting a particular
video to a lot of my friends back in the day when I was
growing up. We were like, you know, 13 Maybe 12 Pool maybe
even I might have been 10 Sex Pistols. You know, we all were
the Sex Pistols of anarchy. Yeah, Anarchy in the UK. We love
the Sex Pistols. And of course, my friends who've been who grew
up with me, they still live in the European Union. And you
know, they're now grown up they've grown up jobs and they
hate Trump. Of course, he was ruining everything. Hate him,
hate him hate him hate him hate me. So I thought it was fun to
post this video of John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten to the Sex
Pistols appearing on Good Morning Britain with the piers
Piers Morgan is on that is now on that program. And I just
loved it just to make heads explode. I posted this
it's great to see you this morning was the the experience
meeting Nigel Farage, your Brexit is fantastic.
after that. The river Thames argument he had with Bob Geldof
I wanted to shake his hand because it was silly beyond
belief. And where do I stand on Brexit? Well, Erie goes the
working class of spoke. And I'm one of them and I'm with them.
When you hear someone like Mr. Campbell spelling out what he
thinks could be the real downfall I gave
up listening to him long time ago, the
US citizen now you see you
as your leader.
The Donald is a complicated fella. And as one journalist
once said to me, is he the political Sex Pistols? In a way,
what I dislike is the left wing media in America and trying to
smear the bloke as a racist. And that's completely not true.
There's many, many problems with him as a human being but he's
not there. And there just might be a chance that something good
will come out of that situation because he terrifies
politicians. I mean, this is joy to behold.
I mean that very much is the Sex Pistols thing anti
establishment. He is the absolutely archetypal anti
establishment characters and dare I say a possible friend
heads all over the face bag exploding in real time. Love
that. Oh, my hero. Oh, God. I'm getting more and more tweets. I
think there's some some group is onto us now.
I've noticed that we've been getting some lovers. Yeah. Trump
lovers. Yeah,
Trump lovers, Trump lovers.
Trump loves Trump. I got I got a couple of tweets from that. And
it immediately got blocked. So I blocked most of them. Yeah, but
it was the same. It's almost the same meme. When did you become a
Trump lover? I go you go. You go over there. And you look at this
guy guy with 12 followers, maybe? Four?
Hey, are you assuming his gender?
Yes, I am. And they there's a they don't follow you. Like
follows you? Yeah, if even if they do is no big deal. I
generally report them.
report them
to the Commissar.
The authorities, I got to hate Trump's love clips. It works
well. If you just turn it around. They have love Trump's
hate, which is a thing and we have hate Trump's love. Chris,
Chris Matthews, who is any minute now I expect this guy to
start drooling on camera. Does he even have any teeth in his
face anymore? It doesn't look like it. And he
just he just has a funny
bite just gets all bent. It gets all worked up. Like in a minute.
He's gonna start
naming his teeth maybe going from grinding, grinding.
So he was talking about Jared Kushner and Ivanka who now are
becoming official, both official members of the administration
with everything that comes along with it, you know, so no more No
more business on the side and all that kind of stuff. So
that's good, you know, make it official and then you can really
hold their feet to the fire. But Chris Matthews sees it
differently. This
is what I worry about. For other people in the White House.
Ivanka Trump has vision described as her father's eyes
and ears on the ground. That's a little scary.
Oh, crap. I did. Perfect. I deleted the good part and left.
Oh, yeah,
this happened. This happened to me a couple months ago. If you
remember. We played the clip it was
Goodbye. Oh. Oh, no, I can't believe I did that. Well,
anyway, he tell us what he compared Jared Kushner and
Ivanka Trump to Saddam Hussein's kids who die in
Dubai gotta be kidding me. That was that was a clip of the day
you threw away.
Oh, not now. Now. You'd now you're just taunting me. Now.
I'm gonna find it in the show notes. And yes, I tell you what,
while I'm looking forward, I will play you the second Hate
Trump's love clip. This comes from Sarah Silverman. I just
took all of my money out of my bank and brought it to a credit
union. I did it because well, I was watching all this stuff
about the Dakota Access Pipeline and why they would be making an
oil pipeline on these people's sacred lands. While they
originally planned on putting it in, like this rich neighborhood,
and then the rich neighborhood said, Fuck no. And then they
were like, oh, okay, it was just so black and white wrong to me.
And I realized I was a part of it, and that the investors in
this pipeline are banks who give their money to big oil. And I
realized as long as my money is in a big bank, I am a part of
the problem.
Very interesting history. She
she, she's part of the problem. All right. Yeah.
But does she not realize that? I don't know Obamacare is just
enough is banks, which is banks. The insurance companies or
banks, everything's banks, but I don't know about this. The rich
white neighborhood said no way if that please. What Richard
wired. Well, I have no idea what she's white neighborhood is
around that area. I
have no idea what she's talking about. But let's listen to Chris
Matthews. I took your challenge. And I found
you know, we can't I kid about everything but you know, Uday
and Qusay working for Saddam Hussein. You couldn't go to a
restaurant to have eye contact when this guy's getting killed.
Okay, these people are really powerful. Imagine getting to a
fight in the office with Jared or Ivanka that they have
enormous power and they're always going to be there.
This is what I worry about. For other people in the White House.
Ivanka Trump has vision described as her father's eyes
and ears on the ground. That's a little scary. If you're just a
regular.
Is there any evidence that she's like a butcher? Or
she's eyes and ears? Yes, but she's just like ooh day and who
were decoy? They could kill you. If you look at him funny.
That is that is the worst
the guys will ever first clip ever. Okay.
That clip sucks. It didn't. I didn't think that clip sucked.
I don't have a worst clip. That clip was worst ever. I don't
have that jingle.
But not worse, because it's a poorly chosen clip. It's a great
clip. It's just that it's like really like what is wrong with
these people? Well, Trump lover,
I have a little sequence here. It's completely unimportant in
the world of anything. But it got so blown out of proportion
that I had, I just had to bring it to the show. This is an
exchange that took place between sweaty Sean Spicer spokes hole
for President Trump and the White House Administration. And
April Ryan, and April Ryan is she's quite a staple in the
White House press corps like she has been during this election
cycle. I haven't really seen her much before. She is a think
she's the news director and certainly a host on the Urban
Radio Networks. I don't know much about the Urban Radio
Networks. I don't know how big it is or what the reach is. I
just don't know much about it. But she sits about I'd say five
rows back so she has reasonable importance there. And she was
asking, the whole exchange was seven or eight minutes. And she
asked Sean Spicer about, hey, what about Russia? And Sean
Spicer said, Look, you know, we can't talk about Russia anymore.
We got nothing to talk about Russia, because we got nothing
right now. It's all in the investigation. And she didn't
like that. And they got into this exchange. And I was
starting to edit it down. When I found an edit already done for
me and edit editorialized by Brian Williams, the bastion of
truth. So I thought we'd play the Brian Williams edit of the
April Ryan sweaty Sean Spicer rift. And then we can go and
laugh a bit about some more appearances from Ms. Ryan,
how does this administration try to revamp its image? Two and a
half months and you got this year in store today? You got
other things going on?
that Russia is actually asking, How can this administration
revamp its image which really has nothing to do with with
Russia just having revamped the image as kind of an innocuous
dumb question really,
other things going on? You got Russia, you've got you got
wiretapping, you've got you know, we
don't have that you on Capitol Hill. I know I get it, but you
keep that I've said it from the day that I got here until
whatever that there is no connection. You've got Russia.
If the President puts Russian salad dressing on a salad
tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection.
Welcome back to the 11th hour Sean Spicer got increasingly
hostile with reporters in the briefing room today hear a bit
more of the back and forth with April Ryan there of American
Urban Radio Networks,
at some point report the facts. The facts are that every single
person who has been briefed on this subject has come away with
the same conclusion. We're publican Democrats so I'm sorry
that that disgusts you. You're shaking your head. I appreciate
it. But But I'm trying okay. But understand this, that at some
point, the facts are what they are in every single person who
has been briefed on the situation. With respect to the
situation with Russia, Republican, Democrat, Obama
appointee career have all come to the same conclusion. At some
point, April, you're gonna have to take no for an answer with
respect to whether or not there was collusion? It seems like
you're hell bent on trying to make sure that whatever image
you want to tell about this White House stays because at the
end of the day, let me answer that I Okay, with what you're
asking me a question. And I'm going to answer, which is the
President, I'm sorry, please, stop shaking your head again.
There was plenty of reaction to that Maggie Haberman of The New
York Times said on Twitter, quote, stop shaking your head
against Spicer lectures, April Ryan, who is a grown woman for
her part April Lyon herself simply replied, Lord,
Lord, LA, WD Lord,
you that was a good trick. No, that was a clip by borderline
Clip of the Day
Oh, thank you. It's gets even better, I believe.
Yeah, they put some disguise on MSNBC are psychos and they're
gonna put a little more effort into this sort of thing to find
it, you know, to make to demean the administration. It's, it's
very funny.
Well, now let's take April Ryan on the CN NS who have some form
of agenda. And this was really good. She, you heard the
exchange now at no point did he say she's an idiot? That was not
in the exchange. He said, Stop shaking your head, a micro
aggression for sure. To a grown woman.
But the micro aggression is her shaking her head. Thank
you. And I've been in business meetings with men and women and
then people who identify as whatever they identify with. And
in business, and this is business politics is business.
Sometimes these days Shut up. And you need to get into it, but
it can't be all butthurt about it. I mean, just listen to this.
Listen to this. Do you
feel as though there's more of a personal attack from Sean
Spicer? When when he calls somebody an idiot when he says
no one called her an idiot. So that's editorializing, which is
unfair. I didn't like that, sir. When
you call somebody an idiot, when he says you stop shaking your
head is that I mean, look, there's always been an
adversarial relationship between the press secretary and the
press. But is there something on a deeper, more personal level
happening now?
That's a tough one.
Did you hear this big sigh.
That's a micro aggression.
Totally. And the question is on micro aggression, because she's
implying, maybe he doesn't like you because you're a woman.
Maybe he doesn't like you because you're black. Maybe he
doesn't like it. He is you're both.
It's a tough one. And I want to believe that Mike McCurry said
the former press secretary for Bill Clinton, he said, there's a
friendly adversarial relationship. I believe the
friendly peace is gone. Now, as you said, Allison.
14, oh, it's so it's so
I'm a little shocked.
Now, as you said, Allison, is getting personal, but it should
never get personal in that room, it should be about the issues. I
have no agenda, you know, calling people out of their
name. I mean, if you get personal, it could go back and
forth for days. And it's not about the issues, and it's about
the issues. This is the White House, this is the home, the
workspace of the President of the United States, the leader of
the free world, people want to know what he's either the
free world or it is again, leader of the free world,
I have no agenda, the workspace of the President of the United
States, the leader of the free world, people want to know what
he's thinking what he's doing. I cover all things presidential,
it's not about me selling.
As she says, It's not about me very important to remember that
it's not about me,
I cover all things presidential, it's not about me some of the
spin that's offered from this White House and maybe other
white houses. But I will tell you this too, as well. You know,
in that room that I've been sitting in for 20 years, and to
see it recently, you just wonder about some of the people that
are coming in the room now. Are they really journalists, or are
they spectators posing as journalist?
She has all kinds, yeah, all kinds of issues. But now again,
we heard two things in there. One is she said, This is not
about me. And remember, what she's asking about is the image
revamping the image like? It's a very important question.
I have no agenda
like that. I like that. She has no agenda. We'll keep that in
there. Now CNN went back to the well. Remember, it's not about
April Ryan. It's not about her, not about her. But until Hillary
Clinton gets into volved in it then oh, it's about
April Ryan, a respected journalist with unrivaled
integrity, was doing her job just this afternoon in the White
House press room when she was patronized and cut off trying to
ask a question. Oh, imagine
that happening. Imagine that
patronized and cut off. Tried to ask a question. One of your own
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, was taunted with a
racist joke about her hair. Now to many women.
Hold on. No, no, I'm in charge of the block. I have the clip.
Just go with the flow. Okay.
Well, one of your own California Congresswoman Maxine Waters was
taunted with a racist joke.
If you can wait for a second. I have the clip after we're done
with this. Okay. I have the clip of her not being taunted. Do you
want to say it again?
Yeah, was taught was a
joke about her hair. Now too many women, especially women of
color, have had a lifetime of practice. Taking precisely these
kinds of indignities in stride.
Remember, it's not about her.
But why should we have to? And any woman who thinks this
couldn't be directed at her is living in a dream world? Wait
for it. And we're back to the campaign, it seems. I mean,
seriously. No, it wasn't the campaign. But I mean it
seriously those
are those are very strong words. What did you think of the
Secretary's comments?
I was surprised I arrived home and was with my daughters. And
someone said, Did you see Hillary Clinton? And I was I was
like, No. And I thought, and I couldn't believe it. I'm
shocked. Let's go on Twitter. And I said, preach,
preach. It's all about me. It's all about her. She just sitting
there, just there. It's all about me. There. And now let us
listen to the racist comment about her hair that black women
have had to deal with for decades. Racists from below
Riley.
Maxine Waters. I love her.
She says
Maxine Waters should have her own sitcom. Absolutely. Okay.
All right. It's just, I just, you know, people get angry with
Maxine Waters.
I want more of it. Okay, I'm so glad you listen,
we have suffered discrimination. We have this. We have separate
isolation and undermining. But we stand up for America.
Oftentimes, when others who think there are more patriotic,
who say they're much more patriotic, do not when we fight
against this president, and we point out how dangerous he is.
But this society and for this country, we're fighting for the
democracy. We're fighting for America. We're saying to those
who say they're patriotic, but they turned a blind eye to the
destruction that he's about to to cause
I like this so much because we would have taken this clip
otherwise and we would have made fun of it but now it's Bill
O'Reilly but he's doing it in a way that is anything but what
he's being accused of country.
You are not nearly as patriotic as we are.
So what does that mean but we've been listening all morning we
cannot he didn't hear a word. She was looking at the James
Brown awake. James,
it's the same same way. And he's not using all wrong just
syndrome
that she's a way you can go after a woman's looks. I think
she's very attractive.
I didn't say she wasn't attractive. I love James Brown.
But it's the same hair James Brown, or the Godfather is soul
had he had girl here, whatever it is. I just couldn't get by
outro all wrong about Maxine Waters number one. She's a
sincere individual. Whatever she says she believes she's not a
phony. All right. All right. And that's old school. All right.
There it is.
Yeah, that's taunting her.
Yeah, no, that's racist. It's racist racist is what it is that
what you heard it, it's completely racist.
Longitude and be queen. My love for you. Almost obscene. Really?
Oh, you know what I mean? Maxine, Maxine, Maxine. Now the
interesting thing is what really happened is he made a joke about
her hair saying it looks like James Brown. Mmm. Have you heard
any other hair jokes in the past two years? orange hair jokes?
Yeah, but that wasn't racist.
No, this wasn't racist either.
She I don't say I've given up on the racist thing. I'll tell you
why. And I think you have to Oh, damn. Because when we have a
couple of sites out there that quote the show, yeah. And they
always use racists and it makes it makes you look like a racist.
Oh, no, it's just it's worse than that. It's it's like it's,
it either looks like they're misspelling it or you're
actually saying it. You don't want to know what the word is.
It's not the same as using a nickname on somebody
on the sides got a lot of traffic.
No, sighs I don't know how much traffic
you're more interested in their in their success than
yes, that's exactly it, but you can use it all you want. But I
just think I think the joke doesn't work. Okay.
All right, we'll just say racist, then. Well, but but I'm
just saying the double standard. And you're gonna hear a lot of
that today.
It began with the lie that this ad that they said right at the
beginning of that segment that you brought in was CNN says they
called you an idiot. And there's no evidence of that and this
whole thing that you just all you did was prove that he
actually kind of likes Maxine Waters race. I'm involved. Yeah.
Now this is part of a I think a bigger scheme. They're trying to
completely marginalize
Maxine Fox box. Oh, Fox. Yeah, of course. We literally
brought out they brought out the old wizened old man, the white
man and
the old white guy. Kapil Koppel. Yes, yes.
So now, Kapil, and I've got two clips from Cabo accusing FoxNews
of being ruining the world of journalism completely. We
firstly desert to Hannity, and then I found an older version
and another version of doing it to O'Reilly the Hannity one got
a lot of play on Twitter. Yeah, I think a couple of things
you're gonna see here, one cop was looking for work. He retired
almost 10 years ago. I think he ran out of money.
It's either that or reverse mortgage, he's got to choose one
of
the two. But as he ran out of money, so he's, he's on that
he's making his rounds. If you haven't, you've noticed him.
He's here. He's there. He's everywhere. He's got a very deep
and yes, he's serious voice.
Dan Rather used to be our guy, but Dan Rather is tainted, you
know, he, he he's no good, and Caputo has
is without fault. And he said he's got a very pensive, slow
talk that he's doing.
He's doing he's doing the thing. Of course,
though. Let's listen to him on Hannity.
I'm playing but I'm not hearing anything.
Oh, something there the files, we had to give credit to the
American people you had. I'm sorry, Fanta. whitespace.
I have five seconds of whitespace.
We have to give some
credit to the American people that they're of somewhat
intelligent, and that they know the difference between an
opinion show in a new show. You know, just cynical look at the
cynical because you think we're bad for America.
You think I'm bad for America?
In the long haul. I think you really and all these opinions.
Knowing you know why sad because you're very good at what you do.
And because you have you have attracted a significantly worse
scenario. Let me finish. Let me finish this in harmlessly. With
all the review. Yes. Thank you have you have attracted people
who are determined that ideology is more important than facts?
I mean, come on. Wow. You think I'm bad for America? Yeah.
In the long run. Yeah. You bad you just bad yo. Ted Koppel
going gangsta.
So this went all over the place. Oh, and there it was. All right.
Henry coquette capo, who is without flaw. He, of course, has
said this. And again, I think he's just looking for work. And
he's being kind of interesting by by making these accusations.
So but before that, it was like it was like a one or a two. Here
he is with O'Reilly telling O'Reilly that he's ruined
journalism
joins us now from Washington. So let's assess Donald Trump. I've
interviewed him a number of times, not an easy interview.
How would you do it?
You know, some Bill, you and I have talked about this general
subject many times over the years. It's irrelevant to how I
would do it. And you know, who made it irrelevant? You do? You
have changed the television landscape over the past 20
years. You've took it from being objective and dull to being
subjective and entertaining. And in this current climate, it
doesn't matter what the interviewer asks him. Mr. Trump
is gonna say whatever he wants to say, as outrageous as it may
be.
Okay, but you know, your old network ABC does interview Mr.
Trump on a regular basis. And our job whether I'm a
commentator, or reporter, is to get as much information number
one and to show the viewer who the person really is. So again,
I'll go back to he sitting on Nightline. You're opposed,
right? Opposite him. How do you do it?
Well, the first way you do it is nothing in the interview, you do
it but some reporting. It's an old fashioned concept, but I
think demonstrating who and what Mr. Trump is and what his
various policies really amount to. If something you don't do in
an interview, he doesn't answer the questions you
pointed out. It's a whole different ballgame on cable TV
commentators like me have just ruined the country. I copped to
that was true. Right. I've ruined everything.
Yeah, I think you're right. This clearly is Fox News is too
powerful. They don't like it the system the machine does not like
it although there's still a head fake here because that place is
run by Democrats. I don't care what anyone says is run by
Democrats.
I know that's the end. I think head fakes the right word. Yeah.
It says if that they you guys are okay. You guys are really on
our team. But you're getting carried away. You're full of
yourself. And you're ruining the whole You're ruining what we're
trying to do here. We're going to take you down a peg. That's
right. And that's what they're doing we're gonna see more of
that this was a classic one so I'm ruining the country. Yes,
you are. He says you are you're ruining the country you
Hannity's ruining the the country or Riley's ruining the
country. They limbaugh's kind of hard to get to. So I don't know
how they're gonna go over there. But there's just it's just all
part of a giant scheme. It's astonishing, man, and it's
executed so
well. And then on 60 minutes, you probably saw this,
and we have our little guys coming in and calling us Trump
lovers.
This is this is a Twitter thing. It's obvious that people are
coming in. Because the podcast podcasts are stupid people, the
idiot. CBS took fake news to a whole new level. Mike Cernovich.
Who this guy like Mike Cerner is like he's so important guy.
Hold on a second. Yeah. I know just what you're gonna say. But
let me just before you say I'd say I'm totally with you. Who is
I never heard of this guy until two weeks ago. And now he's all
over the place. He's got. He's got a Twitter fee. Oh, service
service service. I mean, it's like why?
Yeah. And the guy is really is nothing. Yeah, he's a step above
a blogger. Really? I don't understand that anyway. Somehow
he's hero of dimension a all of a sudden, because well, he
really but SNAM 60 minutes didn't. More of what I thought
was more important is the story itself. There's a couple of
stories here. And the response was good. Well, I'll just play
it for you because it does tie in to all of this. Of course,
the fake news is was not invented by Trump. It was
invented by the news media. They invented it.
See are the ones who would write this and then and Obama
and Obama Exactly. They invented it. And now it's being used
against them. So I guess what you need to do is keep showing
people examples of what Fake news is. And this guy is an
obvious stooge for for my money, because all of a sudden, he's
Mike Cernovich. You know, it's like nananana, this guy didn't
propelled to fame, just out of the blue. Something's going on.
I like it. And it's he's being used or abused. But more than
likely, he's a willing participant in showing how crazy
fake news really is.
You believe it's true today. Oh, absolutely. That story was
sourced to an anesthesiologist who never met Clinton. It got so
much traction, it had to be denied by Clinton's doctor and
the National Parkinson foundation, but she
had a seizure and froze up walking into her motorcade.
Well, she had pneumonia. How do you know who told you that?
Well, the campaign told us that why would you trust a campaign?
The point is, you didn't talk to anybody you've ever examined to
Hillary Clinton.
I don't take anything Hillary Clinton is gonna say at all is
true. I'm not gonna take our word. The media says we're not
going to take Donald Trump on his word. And that's why we are
in these different universes
certain adventures website is just one of hundreds publishing
nonsense on the right and on the left.
Nonsense I tell you this this deserves to jingles. You read
that this alternate universe story come from
game from the alternate universes right because they are
once again I'm looking at his wiki page, which is very, very
light. It's very, I'd say shallow is thin. One thing he's
got a blog who danger in play apparently had something to do
with GamerGate
Yeah. Oh, that's what that's why people Yeah, he was exposing
GamerGate Okay, that's why he's here all the morons, I get it.
Okay, here, comic book heroes got it. And it's
like he married let me read this. He married his first wife
as a law student. 2003 Cernovich stated his first marriage was
ruined by feminist indoctrination. His wife became
an attorney in Silicon Valley and earned millions of dollars
in stock from an IPO she filed for she filed for divorce in
2011 and Cernovich received over $999,000 in the divorce
settlement. While his working service Stacy was falsely
accused of raping a woman in 2003. According to New Yorker
magazine, the charges are dropped but a judge ordered him
to do community services misdemeanor battery, and his
record has since been expunged. He lives outside LA. He's got an
agent he has his exact publicist. That's how he got
this gig on 60 minutes. I don't know who she is. And I'm
thinking it's a she could be a guy because just as many in
Hollywood men and women are pretty well kind of even on both
sides there. Yeah, but that's what it is. And I'm just stunned
by this guy's rise to public notoriety just just overnight
boom
wow, I think it's not the last we've heard of him. He'll have
more to say I'm sure. And with that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage and say in the morning to you John Sue, where
the C stands for not the end of the word racist door ACK
in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the morning to all
ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the
water all over dames knights out there and everyone in between in
the
morning everybody in the chat room no agenda stream.com Good
to have you all they're feeding us good info as usual fact you
are truly our fact base. We appreciate that. And in the
morning to comic strip blogger who brought us the artwork for
episode nine or 151 Belt One Road was a good one. The classic
and nurse photo Obamacare forever.
It's nice to repurpose a picture from the poster.
Yeah, but it was that's the kind of stuff that works well. That's
that is true parody falls under fair use. Very good. Yeah,
that's a no agenda are generated.com where you can
upload all of your artwork. We choose it right after the show.
We appreciate all the work that everybody does for the program
and we'd like to thank our executive producers and
Associate Executive Producers today. We got a
huge donation from ox ox Oh nonnamous of Dogpatch of
$1,091.11. Hello harrow he'll be knighted today. And he sent a
note in in he's really anonymous he sends his check has no name
or address on it it clears his his is mail comes in from kind
of you can't figure out where it with the country is or anything.
He sends a letter in this type with no name or nothing. So he
doesn't want to be whoever he is or wherever he's from will thank
him yes for the $1,091.11 dynamite in a recent episode he
writes you miss an opportunity to build your value for value
he's very critical to the remember this guy's notes. You
discuss important contribution by the many individuals to
provide technical support for the show but then you forgot
their names. So I'm guessing Wait a minute, he's a dude named
he's a techie he's a techie
when whose names we forget we're always thanking our tech
technological people.
Yes we are actually zero at the top of the list I don't know
what we did wrong
you sound like April Ryan my my aunt Gigi used to do that we
call it the en GG site here it comes ready. Oh, I just have an
apple in my room. On GG used to say.
Yeah, and Gigi. He says there are great titles available in
the technical world this year's Academy Award technical
certificates include names like image shaker air cover
inflatables, air wall magic geometry tracker, we obviously
this guy's in the business of some sort of tweak software and
he used the word rhythm and he has value for value of not
titles awards give him awards. Okay. We actually are thinking
we have we have discussed awards have we have discussed the no
agenda awards for art and other things? Jingles jingles arts?
Yeah, yeah, we just yeah, we're gonna do it. We're doing it man.
Okay, similarly if donations are short and you have your target
you aren't you also producers and deserve identifying you are
doing this at your expense. We should mention that we're doing
this at our expense. Are we listeners when we listeners hear
associate producer or worse executive producer pool boy
productions are served sir pool boys. It would make a point that
donations are short I don't know this is just rambling. I like to
believe we listeners are smart and understand this without
deconstruction. Okay? finally catch words like fake news. A
good catch word can obscure analysis for 50 years quote
unquote a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes, by the way, I
think he's right. A good catch word can obscure analysis for 50
years which is what the media does during an American's town
meeting he said this
such as comprehensive immigration reform that's that's
the catch phrase that means absolutely nothing.
Right? No agenda addresses catchwords that's why I listen.
We do that we do he actually said something good. Finally.
At the end. Good is he want any kind of
good you know, he never asked for any karma or anything, so
we're gonna give him karma. You've got karma. One on the
house. Sir James and Wylie, Texas 33333. It's been a while
since I had on my end of the value deal. My apologies. This
is truly the best show in the multiverse, so keep it coming.
My mother goes under the knife on Thursday for a lumpectomy.
Some F cancer karma for her recovery would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you for your courage. Absolutely
then thank you mom for her courage you've got karma
Sir Mark, our buddy the Duke of Japan. Hey, I was good to hear
at 333 there John and Anna was waiting to for a lowland
donation so I could prop up your coffers when he needed it most
What can I say this show keeps getting better and better just
like a fine wine. Wow, that's a compliment. And talking about
fine wines it was Dame astras birthday on the 22nd of March so
this is a make good birthday greeting to whichever analyst I
don't think so. Is she on this list?
Yes she definitely on this list of course. I mean, we don't we
don't keep a master calendar. No, we don't although actually
Eric could do that for our
non Eric was doing it for a while but it became kind of I
think it's cumbersome. And then you run into and I understand
this you run into the problem of you get the you missed my
birthday. You know we get that anyway. Yeah, but but it's not
the same as it's your face never it's sometimes our fault but
it's not. I think is more you know what it reminds me of when
I used to have an answering machine and then a
tape or a micro cassette
dumped on my back in the day when there were real you know,
answering machine with a tape little mini cassette you put
this silly message on the hey, you know and somebody or see if
a friend do it. I'm Don
Pardo John Dvorak is not available.
So I took the machine out completely and for I think,
decades that was known for a guy with no answering machine
because what I discovered is that if you travel a lot, and
you get all you get like 1000 messages when you get back and
you just don't go through them or you're trying to go stream
you can't manage it. It's easier to say I have no machine than
getting to having to deal with I called and left a message that
bah bah blah and you never responded. Yeah. And so I said,
Okay, I won't deal with it. I just got rid of the machine.
Anyway, so back to this. Wow. Time Warp what time warp a time
warp. We had a surprise party for Dame Astrid and I made a no
agenda card for the no agenda Sterling ring and I gave her a
desert present. Oh, keep up the great work and keep making our
days big, bright, beautiful and bake free for
a free. I really, those two people they had they are so
wonderful. And the first of this super talented. I mean, look up
Dytham Klein, architects. I mean, they're they have time to
even listen to us and support us when they're making important
buildings. But also their relationships. This truly their
partnership goes deeper than love. And that's, they'll
understand what I'm saying. Because I didn't I didn't say it
the wrong way around. It's really the great people and I'm
very proud to for them to be associating with us.
I live by Ditto. Exactly. I did oh that
give me some karma karma. Oh, sorry. Not that it was
requested. You got karma Dukkha Japan, the Japan Sea and all
this. Island islands Come on.
So when we got here, Brian, Brian waffles waffles and

Associate Executive Producer, Joshua Mickey, in Perm,
Minnesota. Now let's I want to just for the audience out there,

and he says pronounced Mickey. So I did not know that I would
have pronounced it Mike or something like that what I would
have said, and then the town is P R. H. A. M, and I'm pretty
good at Midwestern name towns, but I would have never, I
wouldn't call it per ham. Yeah, but his sperm. And he sent me a
note. Oh, let me go look.
Why does he Why did people send those kinds of notes to you?
They should say you said it a million times. They sent him to
both of us.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Why was MYCK II? Let's do a quick search here. Probably do
the same. Yeah, you never know. But you should always send notes
to both of us. Yeah, just much easier. Maybe one of us could
have one. It could be looking it up while it was talking. Or

got it. Okay. Yeah, my

Thank you very much look forward to your ceremony so Chris of
Elio Elio with a Yo yo yo,
Sheila. The demo the demoed during the Modren Damodaran
Damodaran. I'm taking sounds like an Armenian name but to 200
bucks is the amount of money. I've been a subscriber since my
first time listening to show a few months ago, I sign up for
the dame layaway plan. I agree with much of what you guys are
thinking. Wanted to comment on your last show regarding the
issues with China and the Chinese people as a Hong Kong
resident for the last 20 years. Born and raised in London, of
Indian descent, so she this is what you call multicoated very
multicolored, but she's beautiful. Oh, probably.
I know a little about this area. Adam, you said that you think
that Chinese want to take over the world? I have to disagree? I
don't think they want. They want to in the same way Western
globalist to do. The Chinese government keeps a pretty tight
lid on things in their own country. That's certainly true.
And it's quite a lot of people there and they have managed to
keep a reasonable handle on social order while at the same
time lifting millions of people out of poverty and also building
an unbelievable amount of infrastructure. Not all of it
cheap Chinese crap. They're getting better and better every
day. I agree with that. The government is enabling people to
work and earn money enough to have a decently quite enjoyable
life. It's not a bad existence and believe it bad existence and
believe it or not, a lot of people are quite happy with
their life if they're taking over it's through trading and
since it seems to be the best and most profitable way for
humans to interact there's no big bad thing Chinese people
love doing business is cultural. They much prefer to bombing
people and taking their stuff
that's what we do. That's our our culture it's so much easier
anyway doing business around the world they don't try to make you
watch over the top Chinese propaganda movies eat unhealthy
Chinese food listen to crass Chinese mute, which I have to
read now everyone should pay careful attention to this while
doing business around the world. I'm sorry, long doing business
around the world they do not try to make you watch over the top
Chinese propaganda movies. Hello Hollywood. eat unhealthy Chinese
food. Hello McDonald's. Listen to crash Chinese music. Hello
anything or emulate mindless Chinese culture. Hello
Hollywood. They just want to do business buy and sell. No one is
forcing the eye tails or Aziz to trade with them. Like everyone
with the eye. The eye. Well, this is this is the thing I
face. i
This is the thing in Australia. They're buying up all the houses
and people are saying oh, they're buying up all the
houses. No, what's happening is you're selling your houses.
There's no pride. There's no I
have a clip about China. Chinese and real estate later in the
show, which will explain this. I'm looking forward to it nice.
This No no, she's on the list. Can you get a shout out for my
45th birthday which is March 29. Yes, she's on the list. I got
her. Again. I get two shots to the head then something happy so
I can die with a smile on my face. Like I'm always one. So
either way
something happy. You don't have anything happy on the show. What
are you talking about?
By the way, if I say resist we much is quite happy. By the way
if you ever do want some dulcet and very informed tones on the
show, as I heard you recently say I would be more than happy
to oblige and often been complimented on my dulcet. pneus
Oh, okay.
I'll see what I got here. Come up with
a birthday. You've got karma.
I was happy I played something happy did not go Yeah. Nailed
it. Nailed it.
That concludes our list of executive producers and
Associate Executive producers for show 916
All right, and thank you to a big thanks to our executive
producers and Associate Executive producers and also
thank you everyone else coming up later on above $50 more. This
is the way the value for value proposition works. We do not
take any money from any corporate anything just from
you. It is highly appreciated and these of course are real
credits just like Hollywood, which is why we put them at the
beginning of the show. And another program coming up this
Sunday. Please remember us at
VO red.org/in A, ya know we're
still in the middle of March Madness but you can go out there
and propagate the formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We had people in the mouth
As I mentioned earlier that podcast of course, this is a bit
of a lot of podcast articles recently,
most of the year of the podcast. Yeah, that's my pronoun. 2017.
was the year of the podcast. Oh, yeah.
The Oh, the year of the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Why don't you think
I said, Yeah, I thought you said you're the podcast. You are as a
New Yorker. You're the pod. Oh,
no, the year but your podcast? Yeah.
And of course, day one, and I get left out most of the time,
of course.
Oh, you get no, no, that's not true. You get left out all the
time. Now.
There's one or two articles. Oh, really? That's surprises. Yeah,
that was really, you know, blog posts, really not articles,
a newsletter, podcasters newsletter. And these guys. It's
not even about podcasting. It's about repurposing shows for VR
VR content. I know. Yeah. So of course, we really get no respect
and what is one of your favorite shows? Do you watch NCIS Los
Angeles Do you watch the Los Angeles version of the program?
I watch both those shows. You hear though? The NCIS? Which I
think NCIS is the best structured show in terms of
writing. I know I know. You love it on television. Well, you just
like it's masterful. NCIS LA is my wife comments on she said, it
seems to me that all that's going on in Los Angeles is shoot
outs and explosions. And which is funny because that's the way
they make it and they're the only show they also do some time
travel thing because somehow they can get from Malibu to Van
Nuys in two seconds. Two minutes, we'll be there in two
minutes.
I got to remind me to tell you the news about Malibu. Okay,
here's NCIS Los Angeles. I don't know if you saw the show yet
talking about podcasters
100 podcast and it was listening to something new from experts.
You said experts there unless there are no experts on these
podcasts. No degrees or qualifications are needed. All
you have to have is computer a microphone and very strong
opinions. Reception for each podcast no research. I do I
know. Every sentence begins with you know I read somewhere
this clip I have
dry had gotten bad. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I had to slip in lost it and this is actually goes on
longer. And unfortunately that version of the clip was taken
off the speakers that sound like crap. I agree. So it sounds like
crap. But yes, it was extremely funny. I'm guessing one of the
writers is a podcaster or there's one of his friends is
and so the there's just a it's obviously it's out of place.
It's put in there as a gag. And it's funny. Yes.
I want to play a couple of social justice warrior Black
Lives Matter LGBTQ q ia P clips. And then we have a thing I'd
like to discuss with you. That Okay, or do you want to hit
something hard?
No. Let's go. Okay.
It'll start with blossom. You remember blossom Mayan? Bialik
blossom?
Yeah. You know, the funny thing she is the girlfriend in that
show the Big Bang Theory, The Big Bang Theory and she looks
nothing like the other woman's funny. Little bit. Not and I
watched that Big Bang. I don't watch it regularly. But when I
see it, I saw I saw her on it. I never knew that she was the same
girl until somebody mentioned it.
Oh, well, she is. So she she just had to do a video. I'm
sorry guys. I had to do this video. And I'm not going to play
the whole thing. It's really about the beginning and I'll but
I'll just let it roll for a little bit. He has a problem
with and this goes back to sweaty Sean Spicer. This goes
back to micro aggressions, it goes back to pronouns. This goes
back to gender assumption. Here we go.
I'm going to be annoying right now.
Okay, there you go. That was the whole clip. I love people who
set it up like that.
I'm gonna be annoying right now because I want to talk about
something that a lot of people don't want to talk about. I was
recently at a bar with two guy friends who are about 40 and one
of them said to the other, oh my God, dude, look at that girl
sitting at the bar. She's beautiful. And I start looking
around wondering why they would let a child into the bar. Then I
realized that when he said girl, he meant woman. But since she's
in that super narrow age range between five years old and 55
years old, we just don't know what to call her. So we call her
a girl.
Wait, wait, wait.
A girl. Sorry, folks. I have to do this. We have to stop calling
women girls.
Okay, now you understand what she's going on there. But when I
heard her openness thing she had to be annoying about and do. She
says guy friends guy? According to Merriam Webster synonymous
with dude two girlfriends and then she ageist about 40. Older
than her, I presume. And then she mocks their voice. Hi girl.
You really pretty girl over there, but fuck you my MPR like
blossom. Come on. That's a double standard. And it's micro
aggression. It's huge micro aggression. It really does she
ever
have a boyfriend?
Really, really? Dumb just dumb. Yeah, boyfriend. Yeah. Hey,
that's right. I'm going to tell Tina the keeper calling me you
need to call me your man friend.
Yes, I'm your man. You're
not a boy. And I'm gonna call her my woman friend. There you
go. Yeah, so I assume her gender. I'm sorry person,
friend. We should just do person friend person friend. What are
we thinking? Yeah, person, friend, person, friend. Okay.
Well, let's talk about this for a moment. Actually. I'm going to
interrupt you
go like this. Yeah, be me. I was just having lunch with my person
friend. What? What's her name?
Red alert. Red alert. Danger Will Robinson. So in my ongoing
conversations with multiple millennials who are in my life,
the topic of gender and gender assumption comes up a lot. And I
feel that as two old guys, let's face it, we're old guys. We're
over a hill. I do not want to be my parents. Oh, what's that six
pistols crap. I really don't want to be that.
I listen to the newest music. Yeah, I'm
sure Green Day. I know. I know. It's Green Day. Yeah, those boys
are good. I'm sorry men
get the Android and so what i By the way, I told you stop as a
second. Just since you mentioned that you let the leading the
witness. So green days on some show. I forgot what
they went F F Donald Trump and I saw that No, no,
no, they didn't do and they weren't allowed to do any of
that. But what seems to me the band is like 1234567 Guys six
seven guys. The Green Day used to be a power trio.
Oh good point maybe you're thinking very
disappointed in his band get into debt many members.
Maybe they're thinking boys to moon.
Release them man. I never liked boys to men. I just didn't like
I
could tell the Backstreet Boys. The Backstreet Boys was that
we're thinking
of Yeah, yeah, that's exactly go back to your.
Okay, I don't want to discount this gender thing. And I learned
something really interested to me at least was very
interesting. And we see here we go. So doing the rounds as a
general talking point, is this one tumblr post? And then I'll
just read it to you. And the first time I read it was like,
What the hell was this? And then I thought if I thought about it
for hours really yesterday. We live in dystopia where all are
assigned one of two chosen genders at birth, thanks to
Ultras oops. Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be
assigned before birth, that people are so excited to
conform, they throw gender reveal parties to make sure
their offspring exists in a strict binary. Since before they
can even form thoughts. Children are color coded according to
their binary assignment. One of the genders is seen as
inherently inferior. This all sounds really effing creepy when
you put it that way, because it is. And if you deviate from the
assigned gender, you can be disowned by your family fired
from your job and beaten by authorities. And then this and
then, of course, this large group is a very big post all
agrees with with this general hypothesis. Now, what I'm
feeling what do I think is happening? And I want to talk
about the word gender specifically, I'm thinking that
the kids want their own identity, they can't have
identity and music anymore, because you can't, you can't.
The idea of creating a band and talking political crap and then
going on actually making money and doing it full time is not no
longer possible. It is.
But that's a minor minor segment of the population. I'm saying
that but well the other day when kids would listen to certain
groups and bands, you know, that was your cultural experience and
how you would rebel against your parents. There is no way there's
no rebelling everything is its face bag. It's Instagram, you
know, you can do a little bit with your pictures and your
icon. So their ultimate rebellion is to create this
agnostic place where they can determine how they want To be
addressed be what they want it's really be who you want to be and
instead of going out there and being who they want to be this
is in my mind I could be entirely wrong has transformed
into I want to look a certain way I don't want to be assumed
as it's just rebellion it's really a logical it's really
illogical and that's where you know hey don't call me Man Boy
woman girl call me z or z with xe that's what this is about
this rebellion and the word gender I we've never looked this
up and I was blown away by just get the Merriam Webster that's
what we like right Merriam Webster okay. Okay definition of
gender it's this is very interesting John a subclass
within a grammatical class as noun pronoun adjective or verb
of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based
on distinctive distinguishable characteristics such as shape,
social rank, manner of existence or sex. And that determines
agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical
forms. So gender according to the definition, the way I read
it can indeed be used outside of male female man woman, you could
really make it anything if at least there are some
distinguishable characteristics. Which
are words have genders? Yes, of course, words have genders.
But so it is I think it's legal it's linguistically legal to say
this gender, although z means nothing, it doesn't you know,
doesn't conform to it doesn't identify with any other
characteristics. So who dreamed it up? Well, yeah, but it would
be if they said I want to be known as agno you know, as an
agnostic, that will be okay. If you look agnostic or if you look
what's the word I'm looking for?
Atheist No, no, no, we
don't look like a man or a woman. You are
weird look. No, no.
I agnostic, not the way that yes, you're a pat. Exactly. It's
like Robert Palmer's the chat room was not very helpful.
neutered. Androgynous that's going to drop all this wonder
androgynous androgynous Ah, yes, that's the word. So the problem
is, well, there's two problems one, I don't care what you want
to be. And I may forget what your pronoun is. Unless you make
it easier for me to remember. Like a badge like, like Andrew.
You know, if we're androgynous I'm Andrew. And make it easy for
me to remember and if I forget don't kill me like the student
from Berkeley just did in your neck of the woods killed a
teacher for for using the wrong prenup pronoun you hear the
story?
Big button. Big Bill I don't know this story in its local
that's funny. You think it would be all over the news you think
it would be leading in the news elite wasn't leading the local
news when this happened. Pablo
Gomez Jr. was a University of California Berkeley senior
majoring in Latino Studies, prominent campus activist. A lot
of these types of organizations have the right pronoun
organization. He stabbed to death a popular school teacher
the crime that the police described as very brutal and
unusual in a city that reported just two homicides last year was
sucked up into the debate over gender identity when it was
reported that Gomez prefer to be called they rather than he. And
so and he was also on the psych watch list. So you know, he got
triggered and flipped out. So it's discussing this is not a
crazy thing. I'm okay with language changing. The word gay
used to mean something very different. I'm totally okay,
happy. Yes, I'm totally okay with that. But we have to come
up with according to the rules, the way I read the rules,
pronouns are okay. But they have to be somewhat descriptive of
what we're talking about. So let's come up with some
descriptive ones. And secondly, if I can, and this is maybe more
important to me, if I can identify as a woman a lot, I
identify as a girl or a woman. Can I am I then eligible for
Small Business Administration loans that are meant for women
businesses?
Now you're talking and there are a
lot of examples that well or or or is it so nutty? That you
would have to say, well, yes, that's only for women by sex,
meaning that women are inferior to men because of their sex
because that's the only the only identifier and need extra help.
which by itself is misogynist because of course women don't
need extra help were exactly the same. I thought men and women
same equal.
One can lift heavier weights.
Well, not all
know not all that's for sure there's plenty of women that
could outlive both of us. Yeah, combined.
Yes, exactly. So I'm, you know, I want to be on board with I
want to be on board with the pronouns, but we need to have
better pronouns
is that the point of this whole little discussion is starting
with the blossom clip.
No, I did I diverted I diverted away from the clips with someone
because we were talking about pronouns. That's why I got into
the pronouns. It's not the well, it's not the I think this
is, you want to know what I think as you said, there's going
to be a discussion because you said that earlier, I think is
bullshit. I don't give a shit if somebody likes to be called Z.
That's the end for me. I don't know what the guy wants to be
called. Or girl or guy or girl a woman or man, boy or whatever? Z
No, forget it. I'm not calling anybody's Z. Okay, it's an
imposition. It's a microaggression against me. Yes.
Puts me out of my way. I am now required to do stuff that I
should would never have to do in a normal world. I'm not going
for it. I don't want to be pushed around by z. I agree.
I'll tell you what you get you guys out there women, whatever
it is, he is gonna pass some laws and then I'll go along with
it because I'm a rule follower. Okay, good luck. And that's my
opinion. Well, that was my is what happens when you get older.
You just don't stop putting up with bullcrap. It's just bull
crap.
Yeah, well, yes. But if they if I think if if they come up with
a descriptive pronouns,
then we can take whatever you want. I don't care. Okay.
All right. Well, let's then let's let us for a moment go
into the United Airlines leggings scandal this morning.
Please, I love this story. I love this story. That's how I
love this story. I love this story because it proved to me
how few people actually read beyond the headline. The face
bag was blowing up yo. Well, I can believe misogynist hate
against women. They're just girls legging babies. Bla bla
bla this morning.
United Airlines is dealing with a different kind of turbulence.
After two girls had to change clothes before boarding a flight
from Denver to Minneapolis. Sunday
we heard the gate agents say you know these are my rules. I just
enforced them. And that was when they looked very panic.
Outraged fellow passenger and activist Shannon Watts took to
you know who she is don't just Shannon watts. This is why the
story blew up. She's the mom the Million Moms against guns woman.
Total shill? Yeah. She got sorrows, money and all this. So
she's Oh, there Shannon watts, all of a sudden haven't heard
from her in a bit. haven't had any shootings lots took
to Twitter writing. A United gate agent isn't letting girls
and leggings get on flight since girls United pillow. I
know what it was about women. There were girls. There were
girls. Those were girls. How old were they? They were I think 12
or 13.
Young women.
That's when does United police women's clothing. To me it seems
like a pretty sexist policy. United says the family was
flying under its pest rider program where employee relatives
and friends can fly for free more at heavily discounted
prices. The airline tells ABC News when taking advantage of
this benefit all employees and pass riders are considered
representatives of United.
I want to just interject for one moment when I was pool 20 maybe
19 or 20, a friend of mine work for KLM. And he got me one of
these passes, which he you fly for I think KLM is 5% of the
ticket price or something fantastic. later turned out he
was gay and wanted to have gay sex with me, which is not so
cool. But you know, i Little did I know. Like I'll take the free
pass. Boy that just that just came out. That was quite a
trauma. And I think about it. But I had to wear a tie. I had
to wear a tie.
Oh, that's interesting. The days he said, Well, you said
no. That's the same today that has not changed across the
board. If you're a United Airlines employee, male, of
course, it's extremely, you know, F men, you got to wear a
tie. So it's just the rule. They're very strict with that.
And quite honestly, if you're getting a ticket for 5% of the
cost of free shut up and just do it already shut up and do it
already. Now what's really interesting is I agree with
that, by the way, yeah, is this clip progresses. We're gonna
listen to the end and again, we're gonna see this increase
Double double standard
passengers this morning were united pass riders and not in
compliance with our dress code for company benefit travel.
With these buddy passes, there was very specific language about
what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. The airline is
saying if you're going to fly for free for us, you are going
to meet certain standards of dress,
but many turned to social media disappointed in how United
handled the situation. Some even pointed to the airlines post
from last June, showing a woman wearing leggings at the airport
for International Yoga Day. celebs are weighing in to
Christy Teegan writes, I have flown United before with
literally no pants on just a top as a dress. And Patricia
Arquette had a back and forth with the carrier at one point
replying leggings or business attire for 10 year olds, their
business is being children. The end United says the family was
still able to travel on the next flight using their passes and
reassures its regular customers that leggings are welcome. And
anyway okay,
so I'm gonna stop it here for a second. So a couple things in
this first of all, I don't the this again, people only go by
the headline and the outrage and the triggering of BA it's it's
misogynist. It's sexist, it's horrible. You they might as well
just say United Trump airlines would have been the perfect
tweet, because it makes nothing but sense and they flew after
all, they just had to change the leggings Now, listen to the
double standard coming up in the little conversation the studio
is going to have about this as I think it's Good Morning America
blew me away
and many women are now responding with the hashtag stop
shaming girls but one man tweeting with the company took a
different approach saying it's not going to be pretty but he
plans to wear leggings on his next United flight. Let's just
hope they didn't just start a new trend. Okay.
So you just laughed. Basically said men look stupid and
leggings. And you laughed at the guy who's going to do that?
Right either even though he's in on your joke. Oh, the let's hope
that's not a trend because Egads men and leggings. Let me tell
you 90% of the women I see in leggings I usually say to
myself, self, why is this person wearing leggings? This person
looks grotesque in leggings. You know what I'm saying? John?
Yeah, yeah, so absolutely a double standard. I have to say
all men look like crap and leggings. But women look great
in leggings is beyond me. And it was just laughing it up. They
don't even see the double standard. They don't even see
it. Or the micro aggression. It's almost a macro.
Yeah, the macro aggression is just raw aggression. Yeah. And
man hate. Yes.
Speaking a man hate. A new picture book is coming out from
Harper design. The book is titled Santas husband. And it
goes on sale October 10, and tells the story of a black Santa
Claus and His white husband, who both live in the North Pole.
Santa Santa spouse frequently fills in for his husband at
malls according to a description of the book, provided to Time
Magazine.
This is great.
The cover is like a black dude and a white dude. Santa's loving
embrace fan to Santa is fantastic is. And then finally
Rachel Dolezal is back. Remember Rachel Dolezal?
Oh, yeah, she's now. Yeah, I saw a picture of her. She's like, I
don't know what she's doing. But she if she's, you know, I mean,
she's the white woman who pretended to be a black woman so
she could get well while she was working. She headed up to end
see the end. ICP natural. So she keeps cycling
and
double ACP and who NAACP? Yes. Well, she's the Vice News
founder. Luckily, because of course, she has a book coming
out. So I think her publicist found VICE News. But VICE News
founder, she's broke. But she's starting to her book tour. So
she does have some kind of advance I guess. Interesting.
They sent a black reporter. In this case, I would actually have
to say an African American reporter to be correct. And I
wanted to share an edit of this interview so we can get a little
feeling on just a little update on her and how she's feeling
about whiteness and white people, etc.
Since the controversy, Rachel Dolezal has been spinning her
time at home in Spokane, Washington, trying to rebuild
her life. Now she's hoping to tell her side of the story
through a new book. What's the point of the book? Would you say
I really wanted to kind of set the record straight, you know,
subtle things about that have been misconstrued about my life
and document my personal journey and how things fit together for
my sons.
And I know you're aware of this, but there's a lot of black
people who feel like what you're doing is selfish. I mean, it's
almost like if you got voted off the island. Shouldn't you just
go?
Did I get voted off an island? You told me it's kind of a
manufactured frenzy and controversy that got stirred up
in 2015. Right by white media, the white parents, the white
police. Like those are the people that instigated that
controversy.
Oh, no, I think you instigated just by being a liar.
So basically, you're saying this is basically black people being
mad at you is a white conspiracy
based off of a white narrative about me,
Rachel Dolezal is also hoping that her memoir in full color
will start a conversation about how we think about race in
America conversation,
you know, what is whiteness? Or blackness? Or, you know, what
does it mean to fall in between? Or in what ways are we who we
are, and I'm part of that owning praising living whiteness, like
that's just fine. That's not me
will be I mean, being able to distance yourself from that is,
is kind of a privilege, right? Being able to say, you know,
what, I don't want anything to do
with the whiteness distancing yourself from from privileges
privilege.
When the police show up. I can't say well, well, well, well, just
so you know, I'm not black. I'm actually white.
I like this guy's point. That was pretty cool.
It doesn't work that way.
Part of me wonders, like, are people actually saying you have
privilege? And you've been privileged? Are people more
interested in just calling me white?
Wow, she's now saying black people are racist. People
are not ready to progress and evolve and move forward on the
issue. I think
what? I think this woman is ahead of her times, yes. All
she's doing. All she's doing from today's perspective is self
identifying as black. That's right. That's all she's doing.
That's right. So what's wrong with that, in today's
environment,
nothing. It's perfectly
okay to progress and evolve and move forward on the issue of
race. And I think part of what's holding that up, is there still
a sense of like a score needs to be settled, you know, we still
haven't had reparations, and we still haven't had like this.
Whoa,
we still haven't had reparations. I'm glad the vice
guy jumped in on this one. I'm sorry, man to
be settled, you know, we still haven't had reparations and we
still haven't had like this. Healing truth reconciliation.
reparations. Would you begin to check? Oh,
no, I'm not I don't remember. I don't actually identify as
African American identify as black. Like with somebody who
moved here from Nigeria.
She says she doesn't identify as African American. What you
should say is I cannot identify as African American, but at the
end, it's almost over. She does
identify as African American identify as black. Like with
somebody who moved here from Nigeria, get a check. No,
there's a Pan African diaspora. So I'm part of the pan. We all
go back to Africa. We all have a black mother eventually.
Okay,
God, I'm part of the pan. The pan. I like it part of the pan.
At the end of the day. We all have a black mother.
God, I know, it's great. I know.
I know. This is great. This is great times we're living in what
do you want to identify us? Oh, let's
see. I think I want to identify self identify as a member of the
British upper class.
Oh, as a aristocrat? Yes, I
think so. And then we can think that would just be fitting me I
could I can be broke and still be above you. Did you hear me
there? I'm going to sorry. Maybe you're hard of hearing but
I didn't have a punch line. Totally. I was gonna end up with
your good bread. You would have had a boom you would have been
right on me. I would have been I would have been annihilated.
Kind of like the San Antonio Spurs.
Oh, is this a sports thing?
Just threw it in Sorry. Sorry.
I let's talk about North Korea for one moment. two clips, red
dash alpha message in three parts. John McCain. He did it.
He might not have micro aggression. Body shaming. This
guy is unbelievable.
China is the one that can be the only one that can control Kim
Jong. This crazy fat kid that running North Korea
crazy fat kid, the crazy fat kid who's running North Korea. I
love that. Very funny, John McCain. But now in democracy
now. I don't know if you had this clip at all.
Hey, don't watch it anymore. No, it's off the rotation.
Well, there was an interesting report about this missile
defense. You and I have asserted that the only reason to ratchet
up North Korea and maybe John McCain calls the crazy fat kid
and says Hey, laid off a rocket bite off a rocket we got some
sales to do we got To sell some stuff, we got some sales to do.
Sales. It wouldn't surprise me.
It's so interesting David Sanger had a piece in The New York
Times last week about the Obama administration's secret cyber
warfare program against North Korea, because basically, they
concluded missile defense system is truly ineffective. And that
jeido Even in the most pristine environmental or climactic
conditions that 50% of the tests failed. And so I think it's,
it's truly a testament why if you know, there is no demand
coming from South Korea, they're not saying please give us this
bad missile defense system. In fact, there's massive protests
in Seung Joo and give Tron where the two potential sites are and
it's creating havoc for South Korea China relations because
China is obviously angered because they view the fad
missile defense system there as a surveillance tool. It's not
really there to blocks, North Korean missiles, plenty of
experts have shown that it would be ineffective as a deterrence
from North Korean missiles. So is creating a very dangerous
situation for the Korean peninsula. And I hope that there
will be some possibility but
ever stop talking. Yeah, she's done now. could have gone? Oh,
is she asking you a question or she had commentator? This is
how we miss things. When you get frustrated the length of the
boringness of someone and then you talk over it and then
neither of us hear the good stuff.
No, no, we don't miss we miss very little very little.
The point of this clip is they're demonstrating they don't
want that. They don't want to have a problems with their
neighbor. We're we we are forcing it on them. Yeah, of
course sales. Just say
you made a good point. And I bet you I'm sorry. She made a good
point. This doesn't even work. We're selling him junk.
Yeah, it's junk 50% of the time and doesn't work. And I have a
feeling that park might have gotten rousted because maybe
Park wasn't on board with these with these systems. And we don't
feel like buying anything this week. Oh, really? We got some
shit on you. We'll expose you. We'll see. We'll see.
Sounds right. It sounds right. Paul, man got some junk. We got
a bunch of crap. We made a bunch of surplus garbage with weird
looking trucks. You see those trucks? It's like, does not you
feel like a dork driving one of these things? Yeah. So we got to
we got to dump it. We got to dump it on some sucker and put
on these guys and it doesn't
even work.
I'm going to show my son moved by Jonah did no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that? Oh yeah, that'd be fun

I've got it. We did Prime Minister question time, they had
a pretty good round of these things. Yeah. And I got one here
that I guess it's good to kind of turn into an ask Adam and
maybe you can answer me a question about this woman who
stands up account they didn't write her name down, but she's
one of the PMS. Think she's a she's a Tory. And she asked a
question about Romania and I didn't know that this was going
on that the Brits have sent troops to Romania
is preparing to fly typhoons from RAF Coningsby in my
constituency to Romania, to support our NATO allies on the
border with Russia. This is as President Putin is locking up
his political opponents and crashing calls for democracy.
Will my Right Honourable friend confirm as we leave the EU that
the United Kingdom will continue to lead NATO in defending this
vital border? And will she pay tribute to the armed forces who
safeguard our democracy
I'm very happy Mr. Speaker to join my honourable friend. in
paying tribute to the men and women of our armed forces. They
are the best in the world. And they work They work tirelessly
to keep us safe and we owe them every gratitude for doing so. I
can also assure her that our commitment to collective defense
and security through NATO is as strong as ever. We will meet our
NATO pledge to spend 2% of GDP on defense every year of this
day. Kate, and we plan to spend 278 billion on our equipment
plans 2025. And she has referred to the work that is being done
by the Royal Air Force in relation to Romania. Of course
with NATO. We're deploying a battalion to Estonia and
Reconnaissance Squadron to Poland. And I think that shows
are very clear commitment to our collective security and as
adults.
All right, can you pull up a map of Romania and tell me exactly
what part of the country has a border? Even a small one with
Russia?
This sounds like a trick question. But I will look up the
map pull up the map just to make sure Romania well they have a
connection to Moldova, of course, and Ukraine. And then
then they do of course have things that don't have a port.
They must have
one port to the Black Sea. Yeah. So what's that got to do with a
border? With Russia? Well, homewares border with Russia. No
big deal. We got to protect the border. From the Russian
aggressors. There's no border with Russia. And she's a PM.
You're so right, sir. That's insane. And I've kind of glossed
past me, I'll admit. Wow. Yeah. That's dumb. is dumb. That's
totally stupid. Well, the bottom line is, NATO is building up
forces all across this border. We got people everywhere. We've
got materiel, all kinds of things being shifted. Up, we're
building up. Why? Because if the Russia hate and I have some
Russian aggression,
oops. Well, I have a Russia hate clip. Let's start with mine. And
you can wrap it up because I'll start with Russian interference.
Part one is CBS backgrounder. Okay,
sorry, it wasn't quite fast enough. Okay, CBS background,
we've known for some time that the Russians meddled in the US
presidential election. But today
I'm stopping. They've meddled. So now we've known for a long
time they've meddled. They've meddled. Then we have
again, I've seen no proof. No evidence, no. And in fact, the
guys that did from that crappy that, you know the thing with
the things flying or across the screen that whatever that
company is the analysts who? Who did CrowdStrike CrowdStrike. And
those guys, now we're
back. Yeah, they've changed their story a little bit.
Haven't they changed their
stories? The FBI has never looked at the servers, then we
never received any servers to look at. So this whole story is,
is
bogus. Well, guess maybe it may be true, but we just don't have
any information.
Yeah, but it's well, let's make it a meme anyway, because it
serves our news purposes.
Oops, hold on. Something just happened here. This is not my
day. You know what the hell just happened? My my whole board went
out. Okay, we're good.
We've known for some time that the Russians meddled in the US
presidential election.
We have to know we haven't know we've known that. You've told us
that. Today
we got a chilling account. The tactics used. The ranking
Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said
Russia paid more than 1000 hackers to create fake anti
Clinton news. The top Republican and Democrat in
Russia pay a way to create fake news. You have to be a hacker.
Yes, you can't just do it without skills. I can't just go
to a WordPress site and do it not if you don't have you have
to be asked to be a hacker if you're not leet. And then we go
on. Sorry, your point is well made errs
to create fake and
they'll roll it back a little on here that again need hackers is
Joe paid more than 1000 hackers to create fake anti Clinton
news. The top Republican and Democrat on the Senate panel
spoke at a news conference today. And their unity was a
sharp contrast to the feuding in the parallel investigation in
the house. Here's Jeff the gays always say to you this
investigation scope will go wherever the intelligence leads
it.
Republican Chairman Richard Burr said the Senate committee is
reviewing 1000s of documents. Both Senator Burr and the top
Democrat on the committee Mark Warner made a public show of
unity and outside
Hey, you know when you say stop, I'm there. You don't have to
keep saying it. I got it.
No, I said it earlier. He didn't. Richard Burr is the guy
if you recall, I just want to point this out as an actor. He's
an actor. That's
Raymond Burr. I'm sorry.
That's Raymond Burr, you get the wrong guy. This is the guy who
took over from Feinstein and refused to look at the report.
Oh, yeah. This guy I'm not looking at that report. All
right now this is the head. And he won't even look at their own
documents that they developed from that from that particular
committee. This guy is a bad guy.
And they're all just covering up and just turn to your right. I
mean, this is if you want to know the definition, if you'd
like a good example of a narrative, this is one. That is
exactly what this is. Russia hack, we know it, you know it
and then you just expand from there. Whether it has been
proven or not, you just expand from there
and he is reviewing 1000s of documents. Both Senator Burr and
the top Democrat on the committee, Mark Warner made a
public show of unity
and outside foreign adversary
effectively
sought to hijack our most critical democratic process the
election of a president and in that process, decided to favor
one candidate over another.
The Senator has stood in stark contrast to their counterparts
in the house. The investigation there has been stalled by
partisan bickering. The ranking Democrat Adam Schiff has called
on Republican Chairman Devin Nunez to step aside for accusing
him of trying to shield the White House and distract from
the investigation.
We will not take questions on the House Intelligence
Committee.
The Senate committee will examine whether the Trump
campaign coordinated with the Russians who carried out a wave
of cyber attacks during the election, the ways to
investigate whether 1000s of internet trolls hired by the
Russians manipulated the news cycle in swing states, spreading
with Senator Warner called fake news about Hillary Clinton's
wave. And now it's gone from hacking to creating fake news.
That's very interesting. That's where that hacker thing comes
from. So hackers hack but they also create fake news sites.
This is
every hacker I've ever met is nothing more than a news junkie
to write stories. That's right. But we are
in a whole new realm around cyber Senator bursts and the
investigation will be fair and impartial Senator procurement.
Have you have you personally coordinated with the White House
at all? I have not an
itch, the relationship and the trust we have.
Scott, both Senators say that part of the urgency and getting
to the bottom of what happened here are concerns that US allies
in Europe could be facing similar Russian meddling in
their elections.
I'm going to give you a borderline for this one job you
deserve.
Well, the point of this story is to say that the Russians are now
meddling in in France. Yes, so flippin wins. It's because of
the Russians Russians. Yeah. And all whatever other elections are
coming up further down the road is the Russians, Russian,
Russian? Yes, Russians because they're trying to destroy our
way of life. That's right.
And this clip, if you want to talk about taking something that
happened and turning it into a true story, and just then really
pile it on, and this is a bit of a call back to. This is warfare.
This is all out war. This is these attacks are war, act of
war. And now let's review. We had the DNCC hacking, we had the
DNC hacking, but what we saw most of was emails from John
Podesta's email, which was not his password as a password.
Yeah. And that somehow got to WikiLeaks. But that is that was
a pure fishing. cockup on his part. But okay, let's just
presume and who got burned by that who remember who got
burned? Oh, yes, I remember donner, Brazil. And Donald
Brazil appeared on Sirius XM channel 127, the progressive
network, my favorite. Usually it's white gay guys who love
Hillary and hate Trump. In this case, it was a panel of women
and Donna Brazil spoke and told us of the harrowing adventure
she's had with Russia.
We love the fight. We live a fight if truth be told, although
we will rather not fight you. But if we have to fight you, we
will fight you. But in all of my life, in the things I've fought,
I have never fought a Russian military intelligence unit.
You see, or with their cyber gear on fighting the Russian
military intelligence unit. John, do you see you're fighting
it? She's she's on the beachhead.
And anyone who has ever been involved in politics know that
you go up against opponents sometimes your democratic
because you're a Democrat, and it's a primary, sometimes
Republican because it's a general election. But how many
of you have ever experienced cyber warfare, cyber espionage?
How many of you understand what a disinformation campaign? How
many of you understand that?
What did you just say? How many of you understand why The
disinformation campaign that's a disinformation campaign right
there because it's not that's what she's doing.
Yes. Got red handed. There's no disinformation involved. There's
none
what a disinformation campaign. How many you understand that?
When emails are sent in there out of context, and you just
have content, how they can be weaponized texts?
They can be she kidding, the emails are weaponized John
texts,
and you just have content, how they can be weaponized to sow
discord, to sow discord. Well, I can tell you so much about cyber
warfare, the intended victims.
Said apparently she can pitch
about cyber warfare. The intended victim was not the men
and women who work at the Democratic National Committee,
the intended victim was Hillary Clinton, who was running for
president United States. And the rest of us, me included were
collateral damage, and how do you come to understand what that
means, in the context of what we call a modern cyber warfare?
Well, I have that experience now. And it's an experience that
I hope to help others understand because at this point,
she's going to open up a cyber warfare defense Consulting
Group, she's in our, in our wheelhouse here,
system, modern warfare that we all have to participate in. We
all better get ready for it. And I'm grateful for those who stood
by us and understood that it was warfare. I mean, for months off
me, you would have thought I was crazy. I mean, when I would call
me young, God bless her and she didn't hang up on me. I had
people really thought I was going crazy. And fat Zerlina I
stopped going on TV because everybody started saying, Well,
how do you know the
fire? You got fired off a TV and because you took questions from
CNN and gave it to the Clinton campaign, but no offense?
How do you know they're Russian? Well, God dammit, I know the
different Whoa, whoa,
well, there goes she religious she Christian. I don't even I
don't even do that. I don't even and she and she tries to talk
herself out. Do
you do not use that epithet?
I don't know. Not Not for any religion. believe whatever you
want to believe. And I don't care. It's fine. I'm not going
to do that's just that's just I have lots of issues with
profanity. I'm pretty good at Yes, I'd
say it's Tourette. All right. Well, she's going
to try and get out of this to
people really thought I was going crazy. In fact, Zerlina I
stopped going on TV because everybody starts saying well,
how do you know they're Russian? Well, god dammit I know the
difference between America and they nobody ever cuss me out and
those kind of words because I don't even understand those
words because I can cuss you back.
Now. What did she just say?
I have no idea. She's talking
about cussing. She just cussed it but I know the goddamn
difference between Russia and America. And God dammit
I know the difference between America
they're all agreeing with her What is she's talking about?
I don't know. She I guess she knows if someone's far
far nobody ever cussed me out and those kind of words because
I don't even understand those words because other concuss you
back this was this was a what she said she's rambling. Yeah,
this was a massive campaign and when you see basketball like mad
massive President Dick Cheney I've never
lame she's gonna agree with Dick Cheney. Now, just to just point
a winner to me. Yes. The left that we have the left wing
Democrats agreeing with Dick Cheney. Think about that for a
minute. The man
has no soul. His heart is in a bag. He carries the fanny pack
suitcase. Yes.
People like former Vice President Dick Cheney. I've
never agree with Dick Cheney in my entire life. But when he said
this was an I love
her crew that Creech
Oh, yeah, yeah, former vice president. I never agree with
Dick Cheney in my entire life. But when he said this was an act
of war, I have to agree with the former vice president it was an
act of war. And we posted the ramifications because if they
can take down a woman of statue like Hillary Clinton with both
the stuff and then you have to disprove the negative to make it
itself another
it's bogus it's bogus stuff.
bogus. She took the question she finally admitted to it she took
the questions from CNN and gave them right to the Hillary
campaign that's why she got fired that's why she got busted.
How is it bogus for each what universe is bogus reach
girlfriend
and then you have to disprove the negative to make it somehow
another truthful you cannot? Yeah, because you did it and
when the national median Listen to me, my friends when the
national media is complicit also, and carrying on the fake
narrative, the fake emails to spoofing and then you have to go
out there and try to make it fake email.
So she's just because she started baking. emails and what
spoofing
she at one point said that these emails had been modified and
wasn't her email never been any proof or benching that nobody
thinks that it's quite the opposite has been proven because
Podesta was using a Gmail and they have a GM ik I forget the
name of the, there's a there's basically a challenge measuring
Yeah, hash. So you can see that has been unaltered and it's been
unaltered
try to make it factual. So pollifax, The Washington Post
fact checker, somebody else can fact check it.
Someone else can fact check. Those of us. Right? Damn
Russians. Donna, Brazil, man.
She's out of control.
He's crazy. She's crazy. Now. This is building everywhere.
This is really building everywhere. In the UK, BBC Radio
five. This is a defense analysts. His name is Tim
Ripley. And he is very concerned about Russia's armaments.
They're building all kinds of great new weapons, we're going
to be in trouble, we probably shouldn't get ready, because
it's a horrible memory, the hype? Well,
I mean, certainly the Russians are developing this missile when
it'll be ready. How many of them have where they were able to fly
them out? A few years down the road? Certainly, they are very
keen to get this stuff and they're putting their money
behind it.
Do we know that it can definitely travel at five to six
times the speed of sound? Oh,
well, we don't know that yet. Because they haven't built it
yet. They haven't tested it. But they're certainly going that
way. They have the technology. And they are developing a lot of
other weapons in Super silence submarines, stealth planes, air
defense missiles that are really getting our military people
worried. I mean, we're in an arms race, we're back to the
situation we're in the 1950s 60s 70s 80s. Where the
potential opponents when they bring out a new weapon that
makes your weapons obsolete or less effective, you got to
counter it. Otherwise you are to coin the phrase dead meat. Those
of us
bringing that one, but we're gonna make it even crazier.
We're gonna bring back the oldest story we have, in recent
memory. Think Charlie Wilson's War.
The Trump administration firmly keeping the door open to
cooperating with Vladimir Putin to fight ISIS in Syria.
President has been very clear in the past that our country shares
our commitment to defeating ISIS and we can work to them in an
area of shared mutual concern, then we will do so. Already.
The editing is great. They have in Yeah, they
cut that in they have once again, it's the video is of a
bunch of dudes with turbans shooting from the hip with, you
know, like 50 caliber machine guns, and the camera is right
next to them, you know, standing in a parallel line because,
yeah, they're shooting at the enemy. Or maybe they're just
putting on a little show, I don't know. But the edit is
perfect, then we will do so.
But Russia is already moving beyond Syria, launching a new
effort in Libya to exert its influence and change the
security landscape in a country where there is still no central
government more than five years after move more Qaddafi was
ousted. Top US commanders now increasingly concerned was
Russia trying to do in Libya, general world Heiser
said a Russia is trying to exert influence on the ultimate
decision of who becomes an what entity becomes in charge of the
government inside Libya, in Libya with their been doing in
Syria. Yes, that's a good way to characterize
US officials tell CNN in recent weeks reconnaissance reveals at
an airbase in western Egypt, just 60 miles from the Libyan
border, Russian drones, aircraft and personnel have arrived.
Across the border. Libyan oil installations are not far away.
erupted between rival groups for control. The Russians denied
they are in Egypt, the US is trying to figure out how deeply
involved Moscow will get inside Libya
does doesn't only give them greater power in Africa, but it
gives them a foothold in the Mediterranean on the southern
edge of Europe where they can potentially threaten us
interests and those of us allies. So this is a big deal.
Now there you go, and then move it into Afghanistan and Libya
and in Libya. And you know what? You know what? I bet you they
are I bet you there we went in we rub allies Libya, we met we
left we left it we messed it up. That's the warlords who are we
in the band and we left and then hello, you create a vacuum. And
yeah, of course they're gonna move in. Ah, I'm glad it's them.
Not the Chinese, although they probably the they're probably
fighting as we speak. See, and there's fighting going on Libya,
we don't hear any of this. So, you know, anything.
You don't hear a lot of stuff, anything, we
can do anything, please. We just have to just have to continue to
dis, you know, to Russia, Russia, Russia. Now, in this
block. I have another clip from Brian Williams. And he's going
to debunk Trump's tweet and this is what happened. Trump tweeted,
hey, why is everyone all over me? How about the Clintons
connection to Russia? Uranium sold, she got paid for it. And
Brian Williams gives us half of the story.
Well, today President Trump sowed confusion on the Russia
investigation. Well, even media I'm sorry,
Scott Pelley. One of my things on CBS. Which is worse? Yes, it
even says CBS. I'm sorry,
are not covering, quote, money from Russia to Clinton for the
sale of uranium. Well, here's why. No credible source alleges
that Hillary Clinton was paid by Russia for American uranium.
I love this. He didn't say it wasn't true. He says no credible
sources said it's true or false. This is very, very smart. What
he's doing listen to the
air. He's like, Well, when you're done with that, I got a
clip to show you that the other side can be kind of slick, too,
but not this slick paid
by Russia for American uranium. But like most conspiracy
theories, there is in
fact, yes, there's a fact there's a little fun old
fact it's not new.
But like most conspiracy theories, there is an atom of
truth in this. By 2013, a Russian company purchased 20% of
American uranium deposits, that was approved by a committee
including Clinton's State Department, but also including
the department's of treasury justice, defense of Homeland
Security, commerce and energy, plus the US Trade Representative
and the Office of Science and Technology separately, the deal
was okayed by the nucular Regulatory Commission. Secretary
Clinton could not have stopped the deal.
And he neglects to mention that the cloud is that true? Tell me
talk to me.
She is the Department of State can stop any of those deals.
Any one of those agencies could have stopped that I think,
I don't know if any one of them could. But I know the State
Department definitely could. And that's a lie.
Second half of the story is that the Clinton Foundation then
received a sizable gift from said
Russians, that they get the gift before for the deal. No,
I think it was I'm pretty sure it was after the deal. Now, that
would be very stupid to give it before the deal, and then do the
deals done before the deal. even dumber. That's not that dumb
that got the deal done.
I know. But again, this is what you said. You've been yourself
when you come to the health because they're accusing Trump
of of taking money from the Russians. And then you know,
implementing policy post fact where this is exactly what
Hillary Clinton did exactly what she did. I think I have a gem of
a clip here. This is Roger Stone. We don't hear from him
very often. And he was on coast to coast. Yeah, yeah. I am. And
the question of John McCain. And of course, John McCain is
upfront a We should
separately both be on coast to coast at least once
they got to invite us. I mean, how do you get on? Well,
everyone keeps so I know a guy who's a booker isn't and pester
him,
or her Don't assume or gender or z. Here we go. Who
would not want me to show up at the hearings, and deflate their
whole phony Russian Miss benefits. That's I want to
confront Adam Schiff. I want to confront Eric Swalwell. I want
to confront John McCain and Mark Warner. I will big slap them
like children. I will take their actual words and show how they
lie. I will point out the millions. John McCain is taken
from the Saudis. John McCain is not allowed to burn without
checking with the Saudis. They have funneled millions of
dollars to his John Kate McCain institute, which he assures us
he has nothing whatsoever to do is except for everyone on the
border who works there has been on his US senate staff. Why does
this cranky old man insult our intelligence senator from the
beltway. He has He is despised by rank and file Republicans.
That's why when Donald Trump criticized him and the
mainstream media folks as well that said he's criticized a war
here or here. Talk to the pow family. They hate his guts.
Whoa, you got
butt slam
Well John McCain better watch out he's got an adversary
then they're not going to bring stone because stone is going to
wear a crazy hat and then humiliate all of them. So he is
definitely that now I have a clip no that's what he's going
to do right
of course is he actually I thought he was uninvited I
thought he wasn't coming it
was just been an invite but you know, he's gonna wear that crazy
crazy hat
will probably sit in the audience with the crazy hat.
The late play this clip of Ryan on CBS that he discusses the he
tries to counter the this has to be deconstructed because he
tries to counter the narrative that's going on. I think he kind
of does a decent job but it's so subtle that I don't think he
doesn't has the kind of the oomph that like Roger Stone just
displayed in that clip of yours.
We've known for some time.
Do you want me to play interference one or
interference? Ryan?
I want you to interference Ryan,
you're gonna CBS News poll out today. Half of Americans told us
they believe the Russians interfered with the election and
most of them said it was to help Mr. Trump this morning.
Get the right away this CBS really we have to stop these
clips a lot, because they're just terrible. So they show a
poll it says 45% of Americans think that the Russians may have
interfered somewhere and that's not that, you know, it's not
like 60% 70% of this law is less than half. And then this is 40%
of those people thought it was for the benefit Trump. That's a
total of around I don't know, 16% total. So it's not really a
high number, but he dramatizes it as if it's an outrageously
high number. The public is pissed off about all this.
unbundling?
Unbelievable, indeed,
said it was to help. Mr. Trump, CBS This Morning, co host Norah
O'Donnell, talk to the House Speaker Paul Ryan today.
I was just listening to the senators on the Senate
Intelligence Committee. And I know, you know, the leading
Republican Senator Burr, who you're served with, and he said,
Look, this is so important. What's going on? They're
investigating. Russia was involved in a covert operation.
Yes. to influence our elections. 2006
They're doing it to other countries right now. Yes.
Yeah. an overt and covert
in Europe? Yes. Germany, France. Yes. Holland. Tunnel, Chuck
Schumer and expos and I sent a letter to the secretaries of
state before the elections saying heads up beyond the watch
out. Again, something's not happening.
He is agree with everything. She says she's out to get him. You
know, she's out to prove some because she's like, Nora. Yeah.
And she gets hurt. She hates the Republicans. She's a bigot. He
now slips in this little factoid that may or may not be true. And
without doing what Trump would do, but he is for all practical
purposes, blaming Obama. Yes. And she just says she doesn't
she so I don't you know, I don't know what the
microaggressions careful, she goes right
over her head. Zoom. Anyway, go back. Sorry. No problem.
Heads up, be on the watch out. Something's happening. Guard
your data. So we all knew this before the election. We all knew
Russia was trying to meddle with our election. And we already
know right now they're trying to do with other countries. So the
national the world's superpower the American government needs to
do everything we possibly can not only to under cut what
they're trying to do, but to uncover what they're trying to
do and help our allies prevent this from happening. I think we
have a special responsibility, given our capabilities to make
sure that we help our allies guard against this meddling by
Russia in their elections, just like they tried to with our
election
capabilities. The rest of Nora's interview was Speaker Ryan first
thing tomorrow
what capabilities so far we all we just get hacked all the time.
We got no skills. We're not leads we got we were get hacked
all the time. And this actually fits perfectly into my next
clip. The assertion from the president is that the Obama
administration was eavesdropping wiretapping, whatever you want
to call it advertising. And that information was then
disseminated as widely with the names unmasked. Am I some Am I
summarizing that correctly?
Yeah, as anyway as best anyone could. Okay.
This is former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn
Farkas. So she was in the Defense Department, which to me
just means military intelligence. And she tells the
story on Morning, Joe, that they had the well you'll hear it that
she had the information and everyone was out there spreading
it. Well, listen,
I was I was urging my former colleagues and and frankly
speaking the people on the Hill No, it was more actually aimed
aimed at telling the hill people get as much information as you
can get as much intelligence as you can before President Obama
leaves the administration, because I had a fear that
somehow that information would disappear with the senior people
who left so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy, that
the Trump folks if they found out how we knew what we knew
about their the staff, the Trump staffs dealing with Russians,
that they would try to compromise those sources and
methods, meaning we would no longer have access to that
intelligence. So I became very worried because not enough was
coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We
have very good intelligence on Russia. So then I had talked to
some of my former colleagues, and I knew that they were trying
to also help get information to the hill. A lot going on today.
Yeah, Mark, that's why you have the leaking.
This to me is mind boggling. She just admitted it.
I'm glad you got this clip. Because I've heard I had not
heard this clip before. And I've been there's a number of talk
radio guys that are talking about this clip saying that this
woman should be investigated immediately.
It sounds to me like she said we didn't want to tip them off.
Because otherwise our methods and sources would stop meaning
she was directly connected to that.
Yeah, she's one of the leakers and
she even said this is why you had all this leaking going on
because she was doing it. She admitted felony. Yes. Hello. I
find this unbelievable. Well, I
find it unbelievable. The two of them sitting there don't know
where they got it. What were they doing? Why are they paying
attention but they're not listening to
her. Now they think this is okay. It's dimension B. There's
no way there's just no way. Never gonna see that it's wrong.
To me, it was mind boggling. And then my best clip is the last
one I got for you, Jeremy. I should have done the 10 Minute
Warning. Do I still have this? I wonder if we still have that old
Hollywood whackers clip or the jingle? Huh? I must have removed
it. Randy Quaid, Randy Quaid posted a new video. Randy Quaid.
Remember, he was on the run on the lam. Well, it's not so much.
But yeah, but from time to time, he does a little something
funny. So he is now promoting the idea that our government has
rooms full of trolls. You're not talking about the Chinese the
Russian note about the America American government,
hundreds of employees creating hundreds of 1000s of fake users
each with personal history and multiple cyber presents. Why did
you call them sock puppets? I've heard hundreds of social media
boiler rooms in China and Russia, but not here. And
definitely not on this scale. Interesting. It is interesting.
And you better pay attention. Someone is paying a shitload of
money to build a massive domestic propaganda machine. And
if it's the DOD, the NSA or anyone else are breaking 10
federal laws plus, this isn't just about fake news,
manipulating public opinion. This is about Time Warner, CNN,
NBC, trying to control the election, the candidate and
public opinion and pawning it off on China and Russia with
more fake news.
Go Randy. And this ties into something I'm moving to Sunday,
we just don't have the time anymore. Where as US Code 2222
has been removed from the Telecommunications Act for
internet providers, which effectively allows internet
providers to inspect everything you have collected everything
you have, give that to anybody they want to for any reason
whatsoever, and I'm very baffled by this decision. And I wonder
if anyone knows what the hell they've done. So we will I do
have a background or clip for that. Let's do it on a Sunday
though, because we really okay, it's fine.
I don't I they'll give us
that'll give me a little time to think about it some more because
it's just baffling. I've said this a couple of times today
instead of of course
first of all this makes sure to note that this is not this is
the way it was before October. This is a rollback
a yes. It is it's an Obama rollback, correct? No, it's a
Trump rollback of a Trump rollback of an Obama and but
that was only in since October? Yeah. That I didn't know.
Yeah, it's very recent. So make sure you get the timeline.
That's good. Thank you. Okay, now I've done all the legal
work. I've looked at all the all the respective articles, etc.
That are that's referred to in this in this very small bill,
which has passed the House and the Senate is going to the
President.
Right, it'll sign it.
Yeah, we got to talk about that on Sunday. That's a big, big
problem with that, but the timeline is
gonna be great because I Don't
good. Okay. Can't wait. Can't wait. All right, one rolls out
with something funny going good. And
oh, let's see. Good question. Let's look at the last of the
list who's got the? Well, now there's a cut when I keep
putting it off. Oh, yeah, this is a piece of news when
it's not funny. Why don't you the Chinese real estate you
promised? Oh, yeah, right,
let's do the Chinese real estate. And then we get the one
follow up, which is kind of interesting. I want to get out
of the way, which is now just do the Chinese real estate. The
other one I can we can wait. It's up in Shanghai.
More talks on housing prices, I
was a Chinese lipsmack Right there.
And more talks on housing prices in China. We're joined by our
current affairs commentator, a&r Tang Clan, our houses sell like
hotcakes in China. But the government definitely don't want
a property prices to skyrocket like this. And they have put in
place many Restriction Policies. But it seems they have not
worked. So well. What do you make of the government's
efforts?
Well, the government's on a tight rope, because quite
frankly, the real estate industry is large part of GDP.
So when you start shutting it down, you start turning off
jobs. And when you're trying to create jobs and maintain your
economy, that's a big issue. So that's why you've seen this kind
of seesaw effect, where the government has loosened and then
tightened restrictions in order to try to, as I say, walk this
tightrope between economic development and maintaining the
property prices. But the government's going to have to go
a little bit further. I mean, they're they're issues. One of
them is this idea of property tax. Right now you have two
different things going on. And one, you have people who have
who want a house to live in, and quite frankly, within China,
it's pretty good families in China, 90% of families in China,
actually own their house and 80% of the people actually own it
outright. No debt. So real issue here is the speculative wouldn't
call the non real economy when
people want the government wants to strike down. Well, they do.
But you know, one of the underlying causes of that is
that people don't feel they have a lot of different alternatives
for investment. For instance, putting money abroad has been
putting much much more difficult in the stock market has had its
ups and downs. So right now, people feel that property is
safe, they might not make money. But they say well, I won't lose
too much.
Yeah, me, I didn't know about the eight and 80%. I'll own
their homes outright in China. That's pretty amazing.
And this is why they're buying up these houses in Australia,
because it's just as an investment, because they don't
have any other way to invest their money. They can't start
throwing data at the American stock market necessarily.
These guys who learn how to day trade
and appeared they should with that Chinese market.
By the way as my son my stock answer. We were at Nordstrom the
other night. Actually, it's after Thursday night show,
because we have bandana ball coming up on Saturday. It's the
big guy Ron mcdonald house. benefit, and of course, I'm
supporting the keeper and needed to get some get some duds
because it's the bandana ball. And I'm talking to the checkout
guy, man person. And I say so. How's it going? Because it's
Unbeliev It's so quiet. He says that you know we had South by
know anyone that didn't even notice a blip in the traffic.
You know, normally this time of year with sales. It's busy. It's
just completely empty. But where was this again at the big mall?
here in Austin, the Barton Barton Springs square street
Creek mall something like that. It's a busy mall, big mall. They
got dicks and he said he's just saying it's dead is Dead is
dead. And I said well that's what they do they come in and
look at stuff or they buy it online or buy something like it
and you know my stock answers you know, there's a solution for
you. Day trading and always cracks people up.
It is funny. It's funny for some reason it's funny in that
context, yeah.
You learn how to day trade dude, you'll be fine.
Numbers why someone should respond to that correctly by
just giving you one swift kick to the nuts I think that would
probably be
we'd have an at least 10 minutes of show material I mean all
right. Well
I didn't know that there was yeah, it was well there's the
retail numbers are coming in. They're not good. I think your
your premise I don't think I think though I think it's a
bigger problem than just buying it online.
Of course of course there's also an economic just a pure economic
issue. Absolutely. Absolutely. These
malls I think these malls are me we have our malls or I think we
got them all up here, hilltop mall, which is I think killing
their JC Penney's and probably the Sears is gonna go Yeah, but
those are the two anchor stores. Those are anchor stores. They
can go when they go the whole small goes to hell and
I heard guitar centers also Oh going on? They're going the way
of RadioShack
Oh, that was terrible. I think it's so bad Heart Center is one
of the if you ever been to one, of course, there's a one of the
greatest stores you can go to. Yeah. Oh, it's over. It gets so
many gimmicks they know.
They're gonna just sell Mexican guitars, Mexican strats and
cables and batteries. I know never heard this. I heard it
from someone who's in the supply chain.
She's like, that's terrible. Because that's a great store.
That's over. Oh, there you go. Nice and uplifting everybody
perfect. There
you go and live it up this weekend.
Should I be watching the game today? Tomorrow? Saturday?
I think there might be you might be able to get catch the
Warriors versus the my brother from another mother. Yes.
Houston team up on Friday night that would be a good game. Also,
there's a Saturday there's a couple of the big grid to Final
Four and there's two games on Saturday which will be good
probably and John CBS are absolute dynamite games and it's
going to lead to the finals. You know, those should be fun, but
you don't like college?
You know, when we were at the mall. We went out bought a shirt
at Express men, right by my shirts. And the the clerk looked
at Curry curry. To Yes, I'm related to this. Steph Curry
