Um yo terbang Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
Thursday April 27 2017. This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode nine or two. This is no agenda with
two tribes go to war will still be here broadcasting live in the
darkest corners of the Capitol the drone Star State downtown
Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where everyone is in the thick
of it time, John C. Dvorak. Did I hear you had a little sick
tongue there? No. Okay. Blood blood blood.
Even drinking again. Damn it. Oh,
you ever drink on the show? You never drink on the show?
Oh, okay. I didn't know about this rule.
It's a huge,
it's huge rule. Oh, man, what you been up to? What do you been
up to bras

I gotta tell you something. Although I always knew it. I
have such respect. Renewed Respect, respect, again renewed
for the dudes named Ben out there the SIS admins who keep
stuff running? Holy crap. I'm running our no agenda.
social.com sir. Oh,

yeah, there's, I mean, this you know, it's, it's interesting how
people this is broken, fix it. Like I I'm not in charge of the
software. I just keep the thing running. And then of course, I
perform it by performing Welcome
to the world. Oh, yeah.
And then a git pull and upgrade. And then it broke the number of
people who put in two factor authentication on no agenda
social.com on like a Twitter site. Why I know. And then of
course, something broken, they got locked out. I had to go back
and manually unclipped bits in the database is Oh, my God. But
it's also I set up a little bot you know, when a show prep thing
goes through them. You know, it's post that people like the
bot is spammy. The bot is spammy stop them. Well, you can mute or
block the bot. But no, no, they got to toot me and they got to
email me I don't know how those guys do it. I don't know how
guys do it.
Zero criminally insane by this point. No, I
mean, the dudes named Ben aren't criminally so what I meant we
got a jingle for it.
I don't know why. Isn't that the song by the band mastodon?
No, that would be the band Van Halen. Oh, okay. But this is not
Van Halen this is I

is Pigot it's Sir Chris Wilson and Ned Jeffery. They put this
together. Yeah, they got a longer one too. At the end of
the show. We'll play it.
They have they have the chops?
Yeah. It's something cool happened with this great open
source project. I'm being very when I'm what is the
cynical, cynical? Thank
you. Great project. All of a sudden, little trademark shows
up. Yes. We're now placing trademark next to the mastodon
name. Okay. Well, there you go. That's, that's the beginning of
the beginning of the end. Yeah. VC money coming in soon. It's
gonna ruin Well, I won't ruin us. Because, you know, if I keep
the server running. Anyway, if you're listening to the show,
have a look. No agenda. social.com. It's a fun
experiment. We're learning a lot. A lot. Our people, our
people on our people, our producers, they're pretty
fanatical.
Yes. It's a good thing. Yeah. To what you want.
Okay. Well,
we'll start off with the good news. Okay. There's
good news. Yes, there's
good news. The State Department finally hired somebody.
Yes, I know. I know.
She's hung Mark Toner. There's a huge report on RT about this
woman. And I think I have a clip that kind of outlines it within
the clip does a very funny Mark Toner. Just play this first.
This is Mark Toner cracking up to see you in this exercise and
transparency and democracy.
Yeah, we heard about that. I think we've played a different
version of that.
It's very funny.
What's the what's the show? She's from Fox. I believe Fox
News. Yeah.
Heather. Heather nauert. I've never I don't remember ever
seeing I don't remember. But anyway, here's a little report
from Heather about Heather.
Wow, it's not a little report. This is a long report. Not too
long. This must be good. Now.
The interrupt is necessary. I
can't wait. Ah,
I was gonna say it's a long report because I don't know what
the deal is. But RT is like needling the administration as
much as it can.
Well, yeah, if you're if you're working on a broadcast place and
all day, you hear prominent politician saying, well, there's
clearly just the PR the propaganda arm of Putin is
financed by Putin is all Putin, it's all lies. You get a little
cynical probably. Yep.
The Korea missile deployment and other Trump team policies will
now be represented by a fresh and somewhat unconventional
face. The President has picked his new spokesperson for the
State Department. Caleb Maupin gives us the lowdown on the new
addition.
Now we all remember previous State Department spokespersons
Good to see you in this exercise and transparency and democracy.
I don't have any specific comment.
There's more to share at some point I'm happy to Yes, that's
good. But if you already had that, then you probably already
had at least some of the answer to your question.
Well, John Kirby left with President Obama. And now the
Trump administration has appointed someone new to fill
his shoes.
This is in Wisconsin growing up my mom and my grandfather and
everybody. They all went out pheasant hunting a lot. And I
love to play in the dead birds. Then we go like Keith cougars.
They really been doing the restructuring that they needed
to over the past 30 years. They wouldn't have their hands out
begging for this 14 billion Trump administration and how
they will handle is
what is going on. I'm not seeing it what is happening. It's just
like back and forth. From Kurt wacky
clipped a wacky clip about her talking about rolling around
with dead birds. All they all insulting by the way, are
jumping up and down on the sofa talking about Cougars than
posing like they were cheerleaders in some football
game. I mean, it's just scoured our archives to find every
instance of her being an idiot.
But they tried to pull the pin on the grenade back, they didn't
pull the pin on the grenade and throw it right there in the
middle of Israel.
Now Heather isn't a politician or a diplomat. She's a talk show
host. She's worked in TV and radio since the 1990s. Now
she'll be addressing the US media on behalf of the State
Department. Her appointments seems to fit kind of a pattern
for the new administration. We are sending an armada, very
powerful. We have
submarines,
very powerful under President Trump.
Shield stands guard and the sword stands ready.
Notice how the Trump people have a certain way of making a big
announcement. It's a little on the showbiz side, a little style
over substance,
I think as well as anybody else. Just remember some of the
disasters the State Department had under the Obama
administration. So I think the the bar is a pretty low one for
the new person from the Trump administration to declare. And
let's also keep in mind that much of the Trump approach to
foreign policy seems so far seems to be based on being very
demonstrative the to be playing for effect, for example, the
very limited airstrikes that took place in Syria, the
dropping of the Moab in Afghanistan, this calling in all
the senators for a briefing on North Korea today.
Did you see that? The call? Yeah, you
stopped for a second? Yes. This was funny,
fantastic stuff. That was one of the best things I've ever seen.
You tell me about the hearings or talking about the bus
bus ride the bus ride?
I gotta get good. It's like they're in Vegas at the
convention. Explain
it explain. Explain the setup, because that was a little
unclear on that clip. What happened?
This briefing on North Korea, and they I guess they wanted to
get I don't know if it's all the senators. But a good portion of
the senators Hold on a second portion of the Senate, a good
portion of the senators, where it was like they were all put in
buses, and then drove driven over to the briefing area.
Instead of just finding their own way over there. I don't know
what the point of it was. But it was amusing because it was like
those buses you get if you're if you've ever been to a trade
show. Oh, and you go and there's all these buses lined up, say,
you know, with all the names of the hotels on the top or there's
something or will say something on the top, maybe senators A
through F. Who knows. But it was the silliest thing I've ever
senators would be funneled by
and some of these bosses were pretty rank. There was
complaints about it too. Oh, there was there was scotch tape
on the rear window.
I saw the buses from the outside it looked like reasonably nice
buses, buddy. I guess suppose that they want to take a limo?
Yes, of course. It's an Escalade. At the very least, and
we're all in a bus. Yeah, I that was for optics. Well played.
I thought it was funny.
I thought it was fantastic. Let's continue with your clip.
Oh,
I think maybe somebody with if you will a bit of showmanship
from Fox News might be able to do a very good job.
And now Trump's showbiz Arsenal may have a new weapon tech twist
on the reporting from Washington DC, Caleb Martin for our tea,
fantastic.
The two finalists French presidential,
middle to long marathon
guide they was named was or missing and it was long.
Well, of course, the big question is will Heather, will
she wind up being romantically involved with Matt Lee?
Yes, this is we're all interested in this. Definitely.
She's on the right League. He's
in the right League. He's on the prowl ever since. Not Jen.
What's the girl's name? The flute girl.
It wasn't Newland it was a Newland, it wasn't no new. There
was Jen Psaki and then the Who's the other one?
Oh, come on war room. Where are you to? Taki? Marie Marie Harf?
Of course, you know, coming from mainstream corporate media, in
particular Fox News, you can just wait for it. They're gonna
be so mean to her. The journalists, the United States
network, they will be so mean, well, maybe not.
Maybe she can. Maybe they'll make her cry. That would be
awesome. When she if she actually cries on the podium
that they would all be kind of happy about then they'd be
excoriated by the public.
No, they won't know they will. The public is insane. John,
there's there is no more public to speak of than just all nuts.
Well, the on this though, we have two kind of ministry of
truthiness stories. One is that Google has now announced they're
going to quote retool their algos abroad to retool the algo
bruh to demote hoaxes and fake news and the no agenda show.
Just guessing
no agenda show wasn't mentioned. No. But it's it's when does the
no agenda show ever come up in a Google search unless you type in
no agenda?
Right? Well, that's a good question. I don't know, by ever,
what's going to matter. But whatever, I'm going to tell you
what's going to happen is social justice warriors will use the
reporting function to get people's stuff delisted or
demoted or whether they call it demoted. Yeah. And this is, why
don't
we just start using gig again. thumbs up thumbs down.
At the same time, we now have the announcement of wiki
Tribune. This is wiki PD as news service had debuted. Now this it
would seem to me that this is the kind of thing that the folks
in your meal you would be talking about. In the Nov nine
person nobody cares really is the other one is also the Twitch
Twitter mentions or whatever it is or not mentioned. But the
Twitter, lightning bolt, whatever it's called
notification know something. I don't know what that is they
have a newspaper. They've turned that into a newspaper. And now
that and Wikipedia has always had a newspaper if you actually
just go to the front of the services of newspapers, and now
they're just calling it a tribune, as opposed to just
doing it. Well, they're going not new, really.
They're going to offer factual and neutral articles that will
help combat the problem of fake news.
They can't do it sounds boring is what says can't be done.
No, you can't. I mean, you can claim everything is fake or
wrong at least wrong. You know, actually, I don't want to
play this just a nightmare once they came up with this fake news
concept. I forget who who coined it. It
was it was the the media. The corporate media themselves came
up with it. And this Trump koala dip. blew their feud. Now, I'm
not a fan of TMZ I don't watch Sometimes I come across a video
maybe. But Harry Levin, is it Harry? Yeah, Harvey Harvey Levin
Harvey was the owner and then he sits there with his a cappuccino
or his frappuccino. And he's Hey, Tim, what's going on to go
to celebrate? He's I didn't know this because Gee, I live in a
world of interesting stuff. But apparently he went to see
President Trump and was excoriated How dare you scum of
the earth? He was Yeah, yeah.
Why didn't know any of this?
I didn't know until I went. I came across a little thing that
he had here. When was he speaking now? I was on stage
somewhere. It might have been like some some some weird
conference. But listen to what he had to say. It was it was
heartening. And heartening, it was not just it was hard it was
it was nice to hear this guy in particular, say these words
about corporate media, in particular corporate news media,
you know, there are certain networks and newspapers that are
very clear on who they are and what they feel. And that's fine.
I mean, if you if you put yourself out, as you know,
somebody who supports Trump, or like MSNBC as against Trump, at
least you get it, you know what you're getting. But when you
pretend like you're objective, but you're not, and you are
angry, and you are, you know, you were trying to kill, and
bully. I think that is killing. And I don't think they know it
yet. But I think some of the trusted names and news are not
trusted anymore because of this. And you know what? I think it's
so preposterous. That, you know, Kanye West went to see Trump he
got trashed. Steve Harvey went to see Trump he got trashed, you
know, they went after me for seeing Trump. So I guess the
solution is, nobody should see him. It should be a boycott.
That is so stupid. You know, it's like,
an honoring of applause. Let me just say, I think I heard four
people clap. Oh, wait a minute. Whoa, because they're all with
their mouths open, like, what is he? So
you know, it's like, please, clap. Let me just say it's
stupid. Because, you know, I look, I disagree with some of
the stuff he does and believes. And I'm not sure if some of this
stuff he does is stuff he believes. And I'm not saying I
disagree with everything he does. But I disagree with with
some of the stuff he does, and believes. And I went in there
and I voiced an opinion on some things. And why would you not
get in that game? If you disagree? The solution is to
boycott. I mean, the guy has already shown that in the last
three weeks. He's changed his mind and five things. So if he's
willing to change his mind, why would you sit on the sidelines,
bully people who go in there? It's absurd. bully people
because he has a view you don't like yet. You could change the
view by having people go in and talk to him. It is the dumbest
thing I've ever seen.
Clap, clap, clap.
God, Oh, God.
Good on him. Yeah.
Well, he is referring to the New York Times in The Washington
Post. All right. That's what he's referring to. Those are the
two super papers of record. They're on all the time. If you
go to PBS NewsHour, there's always a WaPo guy there yakking
about some Whopper. I'm really biased, extremely biased. So
speaking of Whopper Whopper WaPo. The photo of two Wall
Street Journal's with the same front page picture of Trump with
a pronoun named G and are now a Brazilian president now. Well,
who was who was on the cover with who is that? Well, so there
were two different editions. And one had the headline Trump
softens his tone. The other one Trump talks tough. Yeah, it's
great. And of course, this went to Snopes.
Oh, yeah, the Snopes thing. Snopes, this is a good example
of Snopes being Yes, wrong.
Well being propaganda propaganda This is wrong. You're wrong.
I'll read it verbatim your same paper different story and image
showing two editions of The Wall Street Journal with opposing
headlines on the front page is real but the wording wasn't part
of an effort to sway voters you see what they're saying is okay,
what here it is claimed the Wall Street Journal ran a Donald
Trump's story with different headlines in different markets
in order to sway voters rating mixture. What's true, an image
showing two editions of the same day's Wall Street Journal with
opposing headlines about Donald Trump's immigration stance is
real. What's false. The Wall Street Journal did not published
different headlines in different markets in order to sway voters
away from Trump. Well, how do you know? How do you know they
didn't talk to anybody? They just say well, they didn't hear
they didn't do it to sway voters away from Trump. They just did
it. Why did they do it? That's not in the article. Oh, that's
what's wrong with Snopes. Yeah.
There's a lot wrong with snow.
I got a bunch I when I first ran that thing, which was on
Twitter, it's also in the newsletter. Obviously, this got
more attention obviously in the newsletter.
The newsletter got more attention than Twitter trust me.
Yes, by a lot.
But I did get I did run it on Twitter and somebody comes in
this is bullcrap. This is Josie Snopes. Snopes. No. And so I go
I go over there I look at snap systems has no explanation for
it. They just have some nonsense that you just read and it's
exactly bogus. This is not there's no way this is what
makes it I said I totally got makes it worse. I Snopes makes
it worse the and the guy disappears.
The correct answer is no, they did. Do it to sway voters. They
don't did it to sell newspapers that can be the correct answer
every single time.
Yes. And in fact, the Wall Street Journal does have more
than any other national paper. They do regional editions.
Somebody also mentioned yesterday afternoon edition,
they just changed. Are they so what? No, they don't do that
they do reach they don't do morning after it's not like
they're old dailies, you know, you have the three,
three or three different styles, three different people on staff
for doing that. Yeah, I don't think so.
So what they but the Wall Street Journal does have regional
editions. And it's and the region's reason for that is not
so much even for the regional aspect of it, but it's mostly
for advertisers. So you can have just you can just buy the
Midwest or you must buy the southeast, just by right saying,
advertise, you don't have to advertise over the whole thing.
It costs you too much. And so but they tweak it for the
audience, of course, if you're if you're writing the if you
have a regional edition, let's say for Los Angeles, you're not
going to it's not going to have the same wording and headlines
as as the as Iowa. It's just not you just wouldn't do that if you
have the chance to change and you change it. Otherwise you get
a bunch of flack.
Well, there was a lot of a lot of hate going around. We've
we've been lucky we've been pretty light on on all kinds of
Trump clips today. He had the hate show. Caitlyn Jenner
appeared on The View My favorite show it's on my beat, you know,
I'd crossbite every single week. Dave love the ladies of the
view, as they corrupt the women of the country into large, dry,
blubbering morons. See, well, and this, of course, was about
President Trump and let's there was some fun stuff in here.
My loyalties are not with the Republican Party. My loyalties
are not
really working on the voice and knees really? Seriously, every
trans person I know says this is not right.
My loyalties are not with the Republican Party. My loyalties
are not with Donald Trump. My loyalty is with my community.
Okay, so his question is illegitimate question.
The question was, for him again, couldn't hear
three and a half years from now is about light years away when
it comes to politics. Let's see where we're at. I'm saying Do
you regret doing it? Do you regret voting? Do I gret doing
it? I don't know yet. I regret on that issue. I regret. Okay, I
regret it. But I also like a conservative judge on the
Supreme Court. I think that's a good decision. I think we have
to be respected around the world. And I think you know,
some of the things he's doing we'll see how it turns out. We
don't know. Yeah, I
mean, without the visual is Bruce. I mean, it's just Bruce.
It is He has done nothing to the voice. And it's so he doesn't
have to but it's curious. Because you know, everything.
He's He's, she has.
He likes his voice. She likes his she likes his voice.
Oh, that's possible. Yeah. So then you're more like binary?
Yeah. Binary.
You know, some of the things she's doing. We'll see how it
turns out. We don't know yet. But how it turns out. I like a
strong America. I like a strong military. Yeah. And so yeah,
what about you seem
you're so good at this, this politics stuff? Honestly. I
mean, I'm a center right girl and I want to vote for you. I
mean, would you run for office?
This way, okay, this is this is how this how this goes. I
remember years ago, I had done a few speeches for Republican
events. And every time I get off the stage, they'll go Oh, my
God, you should run for office and I'm thinking in my head. I
got way too many secrets.
So I go there just they would destroy me. I said I couldn't do
it. Okay. Now, I don't have one secret left. There's nothing
left. Okay,
and be ready for a president that would be
Oh, there it is. There it is. Yes. I'll be ready for a woman
president.
Oh, geez. Yeah. Yeah. I, women, some women that have sensibility
about these things must be beside themselves. So um, yeah.
first woman president. Well, Jenner.
There's some there's some really outrageous hate going on.
Regarding wall of fact, just to bring you back into all of the
hate. Let's bring back our friend Chris Matthews from MSNBC
who is so hung up on comparing the Trump family to the
Romanovs. He won't stop
looking at the seating this person has gotten the He or she
20. So I don't know how old she is. There's a young person has
never worked in the government sitting next to the President of
China at a major event events sitting next to the president,
China, and other times she's sitting next to what? What's
your name to the head of the Chancellor of Germany? These,
these people must look over and say, What is she doing here?
Except she's the president's daughter that I've said the
Romanovs because there's something about the president
who presumes that this is a royal family taking its place at
the table of power. It is unAmerican and his
untraditional, it's somewhat weird although I know it must be
comforting to have your kids around and I understand and your
son in law, I get the comfort factor. But is it American but I
just fast i by the Romanovs last word. Do you like the Romanovs?
Do you like that image? I'm not talking about what happened and
ultimately,
they all get killed. Now you're not talking about that we do
bring it up a lot like that
image. I'm not talking about what happened and ultimately,
no, no, but the power they have no no whatever their country
because of their birth. Right. I
think it fits Chris. But I also think it means that this man
does not have that many people around him outside of his family
that he trust that he's developed a relationship of
trust with and that bothers me also,
oozes joke is a joke, this girl so like the call,
I'm in some ways glad she's there because I don't want bad
things to happen. But it's also
I'm just trying to figure out what people are saying. Just I
don't mind Ivanka being there because I don't want bad things
to happen. I guess she's gonna throw herself in front of the
presidency. Oh, Daddy, no, she's
there because
I don't take no, no What I think those people on the Chris
Matthews in that milieu. They all know that. Ivanka and their
husband are globalists and Democrats?
Of course, yes, yes.
Yes. Yes. Yeah, in some ways, glad she's there. Because I
don't want bad things to happen. But it's also it's wrong. It's
just
for who wants to take on Jared Kushner in a meeting on the
Middle East right. had that conversation. Scared to death,
everybody? Yeah. Oh my gosh, like, Oh, I didn't want to say
nothing. Anyway, a little bit.
They don't want to say nothing. Anyway. Hello.
They don't want to say nothing. Anyway, really, Matthew,
and this is on television, everybody.
Yeah. Oh my gosh, like oh, I don't want to say nothing.
Anyway, a little bit like who dang Qusay not that bad. Oh,
they're
obsessed.
Well, it's spreading there at MSNBC and mica made a comment
over on the morning Joe's. And bear in mind that Joe and Mika
are in a relationship. They both have divorced their spouses.
They're I think of each maybe 20 years. And they're an item
they're together. I don't know if they live together.
I had no idea. I'm not don't keep up with this. But yes, is
scandalous.
It's completely scandalous. But it puts this little riff or TIFF
in a whole new light. And unfortunately, you can't see
Mikos face but I'm thinking Joe's on the couch. Tonight,
the former corporate executive joined German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and other female leaders at a Women's Summit in Berlin
where she spoke about her signature issues, affordable
childcare and paid family leave. But after calling her father, a
champion of families, the crowd's response, audible.
I'm sorry, that was completely the wrong clip.
I was waiting.
I don't know how that happened. Let me do that again. That's
very odd. Okay, that's, that's actually the clip I'm gonna play
next. So let's, I'm sorry, let's do this. Again, it would be
reasonable to say that there that there are not any goods
that might follow from nepotism. But it's still nepotism
as it was when my hero my political background, just
talked about was appointed attorney general for for his
brother, and Republicans like that back then. I think if you
looked at Bobby Kennedy's record and say some good things came
out of that. And now,
Ivanka trying to Bob,
you don't have to be so snotty. I was about to say you get it
out. You don't have to be so rude.
Oh, so she's, you're comparing Ivanka Trump to Bobby Kennedy
now, and he
or she gave him crap. And then he threw that back out. They're
having they're having a fight. Yeah, but he's gonna be off
stage. I mean, this is not
Oh, yeah. And it's and it's an issue. She walked off the set
after this. She did. Yeah. It's one thing to say, you know, hey,
don't be so snotty about it. But then he says you wouldn't let me
get it out. Wow, this is not how you talk amongst partners.
Ivanka Trump,
Jared, to barbecue.
You don't have to be so snotty. I was about to say you didn't
let me get it out. You don't have to be so rude. The fact of
the matter is that they are not Bobby Kennedy, as I was about to
say but you wanted to get your cheap shot. And so you got your
cheap shot. And no, I'm not saying Jared eka or Bobby
Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy did a lot of things before he became
Attorney General, the United States of America but I am
saying just like when John Kennedy He had a question he
called the one person he could trust in the world, Bobby
Kennedy to come into the Oval Office, and they sat there and
talked. So when Donald Trump needs to talk to somebody, he
talks to these two people. You may like it. You may not like
it.
Okay, first of all garbled just Summit. First of all, what we do
on this show immediately is skipped a substance and go right
to the gossipy part. Yeah. He's a jerk.
He's a total dick. And she walked off and he said, that it
was much further along in the segment. He says, Hey, go for
was Where's mica and he sends the camera backstage to go find
her.
This is Jake move, total dig move. He should have apologized
to her. No, no, no. All right. Now I have a couple of things.
In fact, I think that her her comment, which was a little bit
harsh, not it wasn't necessary, was more of an eye roller than
something she shouldn't be called on the carpet for.
Now. This relationship has done something. Something's going on
there. Yeah, sounds good.
Yeah, he can't do it. I mean, he's not you said himself. He
had a sexual innuendo and there won't let him pull out. Her dad?
Yeah, sure. Okay. So there's a bit so there's a campaign and
I'm going to say it right now. Is is all part of Hillary's hit
list. I want to remind everybody the Clintons are out to get
everyone who was against them. Ivanka has to go because she's
competition for Chelsea and Chelsea. I mean, the dimension B
people are fawning over her what a great what a fabulous woman.
She's done crap. She's done nothing.
There was an article that I retweeted I'm trying to think
what publication it was in it wasn't a Huffington Post. It
wasn't. It was either Vanity Fair or the New York or one of
the two. It was a complete and unbelievable takedown of
Chelsea. Oh, okay. I haven't seen this. I mean, it was
brutal. It was so good.
Well, then it's tit for tat. It's time to take down Ivanka
and I happened to watch this. hour and a half. There was the G
20. Women's Division and they're all on stage. I the reason I
watch is because Queen shit. Yes. The Women's it says she by
the waist. Just before you continue. For the last couple
shows. I've been wanting to read some of these g 20. Clips. That
G 20 until the women's division came out and did their thing was
nobody even talked about going on. Yeah, it's like
nothing to see here. Nothing to see here. So the women's
division of the G 20 book on stage. And the very interesting
there were a lot of agendas and one of the main and I'd none of
this is clickable because it's just too long. There's a lot of
translators, but the reason I watch is because Queen Maxima of
the Netherlands was on the stage and I've never heard her speak
English. Her English is phenomenal. Phenomenal, very,
very eloquent speaker. They were all talking a lot about national
interest for women, but mainly micropayments on cell phones and
Queen Maxima was all about the I'm sure the KPN micropayments.
Sure, you know the Royal Dutch telecom is is probably funding
that. Then they had a woman from I want to say was 18 T or mobile
provider. So there was a real agenda about getting micro
payments, which are a scam. The amount of the VIG is off the
hook on that stuff. But at one point, and Ivanka spoke
extremely eloquently, she's a very when she gets on her on her
podium and she starts talking. She doesn't stop. And it was
she's a talker Holic. Yes. I will mention somebody did call
out, call her out on her style of speaking which they described
as a soft jazz DJ.
She has a little bit of that. Yeah, it's got quite a bit of
it. Yeah. And it's this is Ivanka Trump on light if w el TW
and now more Kenny G. That's kind of her. Yeah. But I'm not a
fan of how she speaks. But she is eloquent. She has things to
say. But we use these on the hit list. And so all the networks
reported on this you already heard the first one I'll repeat
this is from ABC,
the former corporate executive joined German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and other female leaders at a Women's Summit in Berlin
where she spoke about her signature issues, affordable
childcare and paid family leave. But after calling her father, a
champion of families, the crowds response audible.
Okay, and now we go to NBC.
Rapid Response evening
first daughter and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump felt the
singe of a spotlight and her first official trip abroad
today, less than a month after officially joining her father's
administration, Ms. Trump appeared in Berlin where she
shared the stage with some of the most powerful women in the
world and face some uncomfortable questions about
her dad's attitudes toward women, along with some scattered
years. Now,
I've watched this whole thing and then when I saw these news
reports and went back, I didn't hear it. It did not hear any
audible noises and years. I went back to that segment, that's
like, What are you talking about? And then of course, CBS
gives it away.
First daughter Ivanka Trump went to Germany for a meeting of
women in business and government, but it didn't go as
well as planned.
Ivanka Trump had come to a high powered conference in Berlin to
champion the cause of working women. But she came with
baggage, her father's baggage.
He's been a tremendous champion of supporting families.
As those words some members of the audience away from the
microphones began to grow.
Yeah, it was probably the press. This was this bullshit. This did
not happen. You just heard the clip and they cut it off. Why?
Because you can't hear anything. These might there were Mike,
there were room mics, John. There was I mean, I don't know
who it was what the genesis of the story. But for the hour and
a half that I watched where there were some interesting
issues. This is all that comes out of it. She was booed. But
they don't have any proof. Zero.
This is a bunch of scumbags. Yes.
Thank you, Maxine.
Now, they could have sweetened it
easily. I don't know why they didn't. What, what? Because that
would have been so false, because it didn't happen as far
as I'm concerned. It just,
if there is, here's the way it would go down. It seems to me.
You're tempted to sweeten it. But everyone's got the story.
And you don't know if they're all going to sweetened.
Same way or not. Yeah, yeah. Good point. So
you decide,
Hey, boss, my boss's boss's boss. I got this great story. So
we sweeten it up a little bit so that people can hear both. Both
both both?
Yeah, yeah. It's not possible. You can't do it if nobody else
does it. Because then yeah, we call it you can't do it can't do
it. Well, that's a good catch. Yeah. story now
is it? Yeah. Well, again, I was watching it because of Queen
Maxima. And by the way, happy Kings Day to all of our Dutch
listeners used to be on April 30. And now it's on the 27th.
Why? Well, it's I think the original April 30th was on the
could the Queen Beatrix his birthday, April 30. And so now
her son has taken over and they've just said, Well, I want
to keep it at the end of April. And for some reason, it's I
don't know it's today.
Yeah, we're human. Anyone who could do it has to take a trip
to Holland to maybe check this out of students quite quite the
party. Yes.
You just heard her. Maxine. I got a bunch of Mac in different
categories. I have a Mac
so you just gonna use her as a as a as kind of the Greek
chorus. She's just gonna jump in everyone's
excuses. But that's what she does very well. So in the of
course, she is definitely in the hate Trump's love segment. He or
she is I don't remember who she was on with. But nice little
segue. And to me,
I don't want to hear a member of my party to say there's no way
I'm working with him on anything. I don't think that's
good for the party. And I think it's good for the country. And I
just don't think that's living in reality.
Well, of course, maybe you are not as offended, as some of us
are a very bad reality. But the reality is that those of you we
keep talking about, he's going to pivot, and he's going to
become presidential. What is that going to happen? Just the
other day with Bill O'Reilly. He stood up for him when Bill
O'Reilly had been shown to have made settlements of Congress.
Office and you are a member of Congress that has to work,
whether it's voting against or whatever it is, but just to say,
to deny he's our president, and I'm not doing any business with
him, I don't think is in the best interests of your
constituents?
Well, I do think it's in the best interest of my
constituents. I think he's dangerous. I think he's not a
credible leader of this country. I think he's treated our allies
badly. I think others from across the sea across the waters
are looking at us and saying what's wrong with us with a man
who treats his allies this badly with a man who changes his mind
from day to day with the man who often does not know what he's
talking about? He does, he cannot be trusted. And even
though you may think it's not in the best interest of my
constituents, I think it's in the best interest of mine.
constituents to get rid of him
got to get rid of him and just get rid of him yeah we don't
have to. It's gone from impeachment to get rid of him
just fire Showtime Millennials
stay whoa get rid of him
this is this is pretty outrageous behavior from meme
memes all Maxine
She's insane she's unhinged. She's unhinged.
Yeah I don't have it nearby. I know what you're asking for.
She's unhinged. I said hinge just not nice. On hinge. There
you go. Took me a while. Let me see.
Like you're in North Korea, we can go in a couple of days.
I'm still gonna hate I was still in the house.
will be for you. Okay, before we get off the congress people, I
do have an interesting clip that I picked off of C spans book
deal.
Always good. Yeah. What you got.
This is a book called The drain the swamp done by a congressman
out of Colorado named Ken Buck. And I have two clips both of
them a little long, but to dynamite. The second one in
particular is is a jaw drop.
Now what is what does drain the swamp? Is it about draining it
or not draining? And what about draining
it and the guy is a he's a first time one time he's an older guy.
He is a first time congressman from Colorado. prosecuting
attorneys are very got a lot of politics. But he's, he's tried
running a couple of times, he finally got in and then he was
aghast at what he's witnessed. Now, the first part of this the
first step is where he's talking about how they Co Op you
immediately. Once you get there, you got to be part of the party,
you got to do this. You got to do that. And they wine and dine
you and show you a good time, which seems to me what he's
describing as what you would have experienced if you were a
in the computer industry, covering it in any way in the
early heyday. Was it a swamp? No, it was it was a lot of good
food
and limos back in the day.
But he has he didn't like that. And then he goes on. But then
then he reveals something that I've never heard. But let's play
the first part, which is just the not, does not dues. This is
the first one. This is just a swamp book.
I mean, going back Oh, hold on. Make sure I got the right one.
Yes, I have the right one. Okay.
Well, I mean, going back to those parties before you even
get elected, in what way was it conveyed to you that there was a
game that needs to be played?
Sure. When you show up and there, the army choir is
singing. And there is, you know, beef tenderloin and salmon and
all sorts of waiters and as much alcohol I don't drink but as
much alcohol as you want to consume. And you're in the canon
caucus room, which is just a really beautiful room, or in the
old house chambers. There is a clear message that this is how
you now live, you're given gifts from the time you arrive by
leadership or others that are that are thanking you for the
sacrifice for coming to DC. I've never consumed as many calories
as I did when I was in this orientation session.
Anybody wouldn't want to eat this meatloaf. So
the other thing is, you're told pretty quickly that, you know,
you never vote against the rule. And you never either there are
some things you don't do as a part of your party. Both sides
are wined and dined both sides get the same rules, the same
instructions. And the the idea is that the most important thing
you can do is get reelected. And the most important thing to get
reelected is to make sure you play the game.
And in that case, so you're defining play, the game is sort
of being in line with your party, not necessarily in those
early sessions. Are you meeting with lobbyist and the like? It's
sort of an understanding that you're developing about who the
leaders are and what they expect of you.
I think that's right, in the fact that you have as a member
of commerce, Congress special access to various areas, one of
the parties was in the National Archives after hours. It was
opened up for this party, George Will came and spoke to the
group. There's definitely a feeling of being special as a
member of Congress when you're constantly given special
privileges.
Do you think this is a book that I'd like to read? John, does he
go inside and show you all the douchebaggery that's going on?
He bitches and moans a lot, it seems but this this part that
you're going to play next, I think is the core of the book
and you don't need to read the book. That's the way I see. One
of the things about book TV on C span, I've found is that the
people are on long enough. They're usually an hour
sometimes an hour and a half. Talking about their books or
they tell you the book. I mean, you don't have to read the book
after you listen to them give this lecture. I mean, there may
be some tidbits in the book that'd be good. I
think they're doing a dumb job, then you shouldn't be making it
interesting that people don't buy it.
I'm not everybody would think this way. But Brill's harsh book
readers, the guys are into it, they would go by the book
anyway, I, because of the show and what we do, it just seems
like a good excuse not to buy the book. It seems to me, there
may be some tidbits in there. But this little gem here, which
I've never heard, I never knew about and needs a little
discussion is absolutely an eye opening jaw dropper,
you also write that the influence in Washington comes
with a price tag, and you spell out early in the book, the steep
dues that members must pay to the House Republican campaign
committees to secure and retain their seats on influential
committees. And so I'm wondering if you can talk us through the
dues that are required, how they climb depending on the
importance of of the committee and how you deal with it, when
and what your dues are? Sure.
So the both the Republican Party and the Democrat Party have dues
based on committee assignments. And so if you aren't in a
committee, like appropriations, Ways and Means Energy and
Commerce, the dues for a Republican, this this Congress,
215th, Congress are $450,000 per person, on A, B or C committee,
the dues are $200,000 per person. If you want to be a
chair of a committee, you have to pay $1.2 million in dues for
that, for that privilege. So the way you earn those dues when you
raise that money is you have events in Washington, DC, you
have receptions and the lobbyists representing special
interests, come to those receptions and donate money to
you now if you don't vote with the lobbyists, lobbyists don't
show up to to those receptions. So it's a way to coerce members
by having out outrageous TOS of $850,000 or 1.2 million, it's a
way to coerce members to to vote, as lobbyists and special
interest wants you to vote.
So you are on a committee, I am on a committee rules committee.
Yes. And you pay your dues. I pay my dues. So how do you pay
those dues? When you describe the system in which you feel as
though lobbyists are, are asking you to vote in a certain way?
How do you? I mean, what do you do?
I am fortunate in Colorado, we have two events. In the fall of
each year during the election cycle, we have private
individuals come together for those events, and support the
four Republican members of the House of Representatives at
those events. And so I don't, I don't hold receptions, for the
purpose of paying my dues to the NRCC. And I am along with the
other three members from Colorado, we have our dues paid
by holding those two events.
All right, first of all, bend over.
Cliff up the show.
Tip of the show, man, holy, I did not know this at all. And
where does this money go? Who's to who you pay goes right to the
party. So you have to take money from your constituents, which
you don't really get from them. You get them from lobbyists?
Because you throw parties, and we send you 1000 bucks played,
I'm sure. And then you take that money and then you become that
the ranking member on the committee and then you do with
the lobbyists the paid you to do? Yeah, oh, my goodness, I
have not heard of this. This is
I never heard of this either. This is a scandal as far as I'm
concerned. So you have the chief, the head of the
committees, and the guys who are at the top the chair, and then
you have the ranking, the ranking guy has to obviously pay
a bunch of money and then the chair has to pay a bunch of
money, that's probably pretty close to the same amount, I'm
guessing, because if the parties switch, you know, over to
because of the majority, then the ranking guy becomes the
chair. But that's the $1.2 million job and you can kind of
figure it out the committee's that that is where that where's
that? Hi there. So the rest of them are like 800,000 So you
have to tell you and here's what gets me is this guy talks about
well, I'm lucky because I we have this special thing in
Colorado where people come out and then they I doubt many
people that donate donate to their congressmen have any idea
that this is gonna have any idea that the congressman is not even
using that money, he gets passed through. You give him $1,000 And
he says thank you for your support. And then he gives it to
the to the Republican Party as as part of his dues payment
which may be anywhere from $200,000 to 1.2 million that he
has to pay the party, so he can actually do his job. Are you
kidding me?
That's amazing. Well shows you what Plan B is run for office.
Well, it sounds to me as though most of the time is spent just
moving money around. But why should I be collecting at $1.2
million as a senior member of the audit committee to be on it?
Well, you have to be on committees.
But hold on a second. But committees are the only party I
thought, you know, you always had committees that were
bipartisan.
No, all committees are? No, he's talking about everyone on the
committee. They're all bipartisan, their committees,
they got, you know, X number of Republicans and X number of
Democrats usually reflect
Okay, so Republican, his dues go to where did the Republican
National Committee so they say, yes, you can be on the
committee. That's how it works. You can be the ball
on the committee and say, here's what you owe us.
For no wonder nothing gets done there. They're telling you
because the price or the price, I'd like to know some of his
history of this. Does it go back? 100 years? Is it go back?
50 years? When did this began? When did it when did the payoffs
begin where you have to pay off your own party, and what did
they do with the money we have? I mean, what does the party do?
I mean, you're you're supposed to get reelected and when you
that means you got to collect money for them again, it's like
being in the mob where you gotta get you get a little piece of
the action goes to the boss, and then he has to pass them up to
the capo. I mean, this is a mob setup. It's ridiculous. Hey,
you're not doing right. where's the where's your where's the
cash? I mean, it's unbelievable.
Where's my man where's the big
especially at these rates? This is not cheap. These guys you
know, Congressman comes in from some little town in Iowa. And
then he now he's got to be paying paying his way to be on a
committee to help his own constituency. This is
ridiculous.
I didn't I didn't know this is a great fun. It's always
interesting how someone in the warm will go this is not new.
This is not new. This is not new.
Okay, should leave him in there. Ask him when it began. Yeah,
there you go. When did it begin?
Okay, give us a date. When did it begin and who started
it? Let's say because he's and he knows everything so I'm sure
he'll have an answer for us eventually. Wait.
Yeah, we're
waiting we got time. Well, while we're waiting while awaiting
John I think it's time for yes, in today's drunk or drew not
drunk segment we have Nancy Pelosi. The question for you sir
drunk or not drunk and
Hassan Xi re put your well deserves Brexit recognitions
tonight to today the strong moral VARs voice of refugees
International. We degrade our values and our security when we
slammed the door in the face of children fleeing fleeing
atrocities. With the specter of famine looming and over
northeast Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yuma and Yemen.
Almost slashing the State Department, Department budget,
and foreign aid budget by 30% would only deepen the crisis
facing the children, children. Children need America to be
their champion. Thank you, refugees International, for your
leadership. Thank you for your moral advocacy
for taking the people's money at $2,000 per refugee, thank you
very much Morrow and
the sea are more and your action. Thank you for
challenging, challenging us to honor our values as a nation.
Thank you all for the honor to participate.
I've heard Dec slip of course, of course. Somebody found it.
That I think she either had the wrong contacts in how or she was
she or she just can't read. Maybe she can't read because she
sounded erudite except she would mispronounce words horribly, but
it wasn't slurring. Okay. She was not slurring. I think it's
just she can't read or she's lost her ability. She's got
cataracts. I mean, there's a lot of possibilities. There
could be could be I don't know.
I mean, when Biden is drawing his yay, you know,
he's a little more obvious they but with all with all this
partying to raise money to be on committees, and she's on a few
she's got to be hammered.
I'm sure she betcha she can hold her own. Yeah, I'm assuming this
is tricks. I mean, some people don't know that guy who wrote
the book, drain the swamp. He said in there that he's not a
drinker, which means he's not going to have a lot of fun at
these parties. Because you know that there was probably half
eaten in the tank as you're here and on. These late night
committees are And then they get to talk to each other and it
kind of old buddies and they become friends. This guy's a
stick in the mud.
That's pretty good.
Yeah. Which, by the way we get our answer that when this began
now of course. Oh, no. There you have it
back to Hillary's hitless for a second. Yes. So the woman who
came out the radio talk show hosts who came out against Sean
Hannity is now saying, well, he never sexually harassed me. So
she's backpedaling a little bit. But what I found interesting is
there was another lawsuit. There is another lawsuit against what
are you doing?
I'm sorry. I've discovered this new sound effect and I was
trying to do it a little bit.
Make sounds like a trash can. It doesn't sound like a sound
effect. Fox News has a racial discrimination suit against them
alleging black female employees were forced to arm wrestle.
Yeah, I have actually have a clip. Oh, good. Oh, yes. Good
because I have to give you the background you need. Yes, this
is. If I could figure out what it is guys. CBS does on CBS. And
this is I think a risky thing read that I said in the
newsletter. This is very risky for these networks to do this.
But to sit here CBS goes after Fox. One
better a news anchor Kelly right of the Fox News Channel had an
emotional news conference today. Right explained why he joined
about a dozen other current and former minority employees in a
racial discrimination suit against the cable network.
You're a fan of wonder 21st Century
Fox bought appropriate appropriately rename itself 18th
Century Fox. In the
latest lawsuit minority employees accused Fox News of
racial discrimination among the allegations against former
controller Judith Slater fired by Fox Two months ago that she
mocked the way they spoke and demanded that minority employees
engage in armwrestling contests, including against some of their
white female supervisors. anchor and reporter Kelly right this
hurts. He came forward after his colleague sued. I thought this
is so pervasive.
I've seen this before and I was silent. I cannot be silent
anymore.
The development comes after former star host Bill O'Reilly
was fired over sexual harassment allegations. The New York Times
reported that he settled several lawsuits. But in comments to
podcast listeners earlier this week, O'Reilly said I'm very
confident that
truth will come out nice little micro aggression there in
comments to podcast listeners.
And by the way, it was interesting. When they cut to
his podcast, his mic and clarity it outshine CBS like by a factor
of seven
podcast listeners.
New York Times reported that he settled several lawsuits. But in
comments to podcast listeners earlier this week, O'Reilly said
I'm very confident that truth will come. And when it does. I
don't know if you're going to be surprised. But I think you're
going to be shaken.
And there's a lot of artifacts in his sound, though. I hear
like compression artifacts. So you hear that?
Oh, it's been Yes, I know. Also, it's got it. Also the EQ. EQ is
very unusual because it has a it's got a lot of mid range.
It's I find, but it's very clear. Yeah, it's
clear, but there's a lot of artifacts.
And when it does, I don't know if you're going to be surprised.
But I think you're going to be shaken as I am.
But former Fox temporary employee for Keita Burgess says
O'Reilly sexually harassed her calling her hot chocolate says
I want him to apologize to everyone that he is harmed with
his words, his actions, but there's no humility. There's no
I'm sorry. Maybe if he had said something, maybe he wouldn't
have gotten fired.
Yeah. Well, here's what's interesting, and I'm just giving
the information I don't know if we can do anything with it. But
the the lawyer pursuing this suit is Jeanne Christiansen she
works for wig door. LLP wig door is the exact same company that
represented the made against Dominique Strauss Kahn in New
York. But even more curious, Mr. Wick door himself openly with a
lot of money supported Donald Trump. So there may be something
fishy going on here.
Well, the whole thing is fishy.
Well, no, it's Hillary's hitless I'm just trying to figure this
one out. This particular lawsuit is I don't know but I just find
it interesting that you know, their buddy, buddy and the
hanging out and he was, you know, Of course, he's split from
his partner, the two partners in the firm the partner to none and
I cannot vote for I can't support Trump and and now this
through the same law firm, so just something high on,
well, maybe this clip will help. This is the Donald Trump time
traveler clip.
Hey, what's up everybody? This is the unique thinker thinking
uniquely once again, so I'm gonna get into this real quick.
Have you been watching YouTube again, John, is that his efforts
going on? You didn't send me this one.
So Donald, Donald Trump is a time traveler. Explain what's
going on everybody. Basically, what happened is this. To sum it
up in a nutshell, this guy John tutor said that he had to go
John tutor, if you don't know who he is. Look it up yourself.
Okay, something tutor, he's a time traveler tip or now, this
guy tutor. He said that he had to go back in time to get
something that was very important. And it was a machine
or computer an IBM computer that would be able to talk to other
computers. And it was the only thing that would probably help
them do time travel or something stupid like that right? Now,
right? Fast forward to the time that these things occurred in
the people that were in each other's lives. Basically, there
was a significant time the time was like 19. I think it was like
1975 or 1919 something. But that was a significant time. I'm just
going to keep it real with you. This is all theory. I'm thinking
for real bro. Donald Trump had to go back in time, go to his
father. I mean, go to his uncle. Ask them what these blueprints
meant. Okay, this is all science fiction. But I'm just saying he
had to go back in time go to his uncle ask him how did these
blueprints work? How do they fit? Tell me how to build this
time machine. Right? Right. Right. He goes back in that
time. He goes back into the time. But then there's something
about 911 Everybody knows about it all.
Sounds legit.
So he doesn't have a time machine. But somehow he goes
back in time to get the plans for a time machine. And then he
builds a time machine, it becomes a time trap. This

He's in Venezuela that kind of gives away where he's from.
He needs to tell us how angry they are at Trump.
I want to know, it's been quite a long 18 plus years of this
decade, and it's worried me how the US is also turning bit by
bit to the same commie nightmare. Yeah, we're good that
way. The similarities are bound just not now. I saw how they're
dismantling Confederate landmarks in Louisiana, just
like they toppled Christopher Columbus statues in Venezuela in
2004. And no need for jingles or other requests.
Okay. Anonymous parts forgotten. Not Venezuela. Thank you. Thank
you very much. Our only executive producer today.

jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. All right. Nice.
Nice bringing that one back. Superb. Superb, superb.
That's it. That's our group. Oh, so that's it help for the
Sunday? Yeah. So Sunday, we would be useful if people would
come in a little stronger than this. Yeah, the borg.org/na is
the website to visit.
And we'll be thanking everyone who came in at $50 or above in
the second Thank you segment. This is our value for value
model. I've been talking a lot of people about it, because it
seems particularly the YouTubers are in big trouble. Now. Every
day, there's someone sending me a link to a YouTube video where
the YouTuber goes, well, you know, YouTube is now to D
monetize me. The D monetize me because I'm not brand safe. It
doesn't mean I would go short. You know, you and Horowitz you
short Google a bit or alphabet. They it must be affecting their
numbers.
It must Yeah, they're getting they're making more numb more
money because you're not giving it out to these guys probably
have has a positive effect on cash flow for alphabet itself.
Well, they have to still have the same amount of inventory. So
they've given it to somebody, but they're not playing the ads.
Well, anyway, my point is,
well, you know, who knew what I also noticed is they're playing.
I don't know if you've noticed this, but I was obviously
YouTubing recently, and they had
me Shut up. I'm YouTubing leave me alone.
I'm yo, bang. They're playing the whole 32nd ad. There's no
skipping
class. I've noticed this too. I've noticed Yes. Yeah. Tricky.
Tricky. Dicky. I'm wearing my pen go.
Dammit. Alright. That's really important that I have my pen.
Why? I gotta write stuff down all the time. Where's my pen? I
just had it.
Oh, ah. Seemed to be catching my problem. Is the keyboard on the
floor? No. Eventually the pen fell on the floor. Oh, yeah,
you're right here. All right, thank you. Now I don't remember
what I was gonna write down. There was something important.
It wasn't that important. Yeah, it was wasn't as important as
finding the pen.
Well, it's important to get my pen, right. Anyway, so my my
point being, that it's a very weak strategy to use other
people's infrastructure, particularly their monetization
infrastructure. And you should not be so butthurt or so sad or
so surprised? It's over. It's over with
free money. Well, you had a chance you could have you know,
you did well, yeah. If some of you didn't, some of you still
doing I think JennaMarbles is still kicking butt.
So the way we like to do it is you know, just ask you if you
have gotten any other news or entertainment recently, and what
did you pay for it? Maybe you went to the movies and you saw a
great movie and was $50 for sitting in a dark room with
somebody for an hour and a half and maybe maybe you can see some
value in what we're doing. Certainly other people do and we
really appreciate that. We'd appreciate a little bit more to
keep to keep it keep the server's running. We will have
that show coming up on Sunday. Please remember us asos.org/in A
while you do During all that remembering look at people and
propagate our formula is this people in the mouth
shut up, shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Hey, quick little alternate
universe segment, just one clip unless you have one got just
one.
Well, I want to do read the note before we do that, that just
kind of applies to this. To our one of our nights, Oh, we didn't
read his no and I feel bad about Justin, I believe just in
general Justin. Yeah, Justin. So I'm gonna read this and yet
maybe he does have a jingle request. I might throw that and
then we can get to it. I've been a listener from the early days
since August 2015. Getting our $50 Night layaway program. I
claimed his title though a couple shows ago. In addition,
he'd like to get some box off his karma. Phoenix forgotten is
a movie I've co Written and Directed being released in
theaters nationwide in Canada on Friday. The 21st was last Friday
this Friday. That's the title of the movie. It's called Phoenix
forgotten.
Oh, okay. So everyone go out and see that support
produced by Ridley Scott tells the story of three kids who went
missing in 1997 After investigating the mysterious
Phoenix lights UFO sighting
do I need even to show up anymore? If you're gonna do all
this stuff? What you're doing all my material?
What this is about the movie? It's not about it. But it does
remind me of your you went to see those crazy lights? What was
the name of those?
Marfa? The Marfa Lights? Yeah, we saw them and they were clear
as day and it's very
odd. Did you drive toward them to see what they were?
The you? Well, you can't you can't drive toward them. You see
them at this this is one spot the look and then you there you
see them dancing around just out in the open. And there's there's
no logical explanation. I don't think you can walk towards them.
It's discouraged. There's no path there. It's
well maybe ended like these kids, you disappear. I began my
neighborhood lay away about the same time I started working on
the movie. Your podcast has kept me company through the long
hours on the road, traveling to different filming locations, and
continues to be a unique source of insight on modern media. Oh,
and culture. Oh,
thank you. Well, the only thing is the only thing we ask Wait,
when you win the Oscar, thank us and throw it in in the morning.
Yeah. When you win the Oscar say in the morning. Now all these
months later, the movies done ready to go out into the world
ready to take my seat at the round table. Don't forget, you
don't have to read the note on the air. However, a small plug
for the movie would of course mean a lot to me and other fans
of your podcasting among my crew. Yes, he's got a bunch of
crew members that are also listening to this. And I like
failed to read this on time. I mean, it's still a valid Yeah,
but I'm thinking to myself, this shows that I really don't want
to get a bit part. But my subconscious opportunity, what
we think being a director in the family
is not well, totally. I do know from my Hollywood days, that
everyone has much please go see my movie The second and third
weekend not the first weekend. It's the second and third. So
you can still help this producer out immensely. I'm going to give
him some motion picture karma. I think that's well deserved for
the
crew to have got karma.
I pay for my movies. People
don't steal him. I pay for him. No torrenting I pay for them. I
pay for my entertainment. And you well, you should? Well, not
everybody does. Excellent. So Bill Nye is all over the place.
He has a new show on Netflix, which will play a few clips from
the he keeps appearing. Now we have to determine what's going
to happen to this guy because he is going over the edge to such
an extreme that has nothing. What he's talking about has
nothing to do with science. He's completely misquoting the
Constitution. And that's the first clip. I want to play him
doing it again. Except this time he's on the CNN and the sexto.
Box. Yes,
I think he's unhinged.
I'm not gonna keep playing the ISO. He was on with a Princeton
physicist William happer. And hilarity ensued. How would you
advise the President if you had his ear on how to move forward
on the Paris Climate Agreement?
Well, you have to consider many things. I think on the face of
it, it should be canceled. I could imagine that you might
want to consider, you know, ties with allies and things like
that, that perhaps would make that not advisable. But I think
it doesn't make any scientific sense. It's just a silly thing.
I think. To me, it's very similar to the Munich a
agreements that Mr. Chamberlain signed.
Wow. Okay, everybody here bear in mind this may backfire. If
you pull out of an international agreement, other countries may
establish what are effectively tariffs on us produce goods and
especially services.
So, so hold on for a second. Mr. Harper. I just want to make sure
that you are comparing the Paris Climate Agreement to the
appeasement policy.
It's definitely appeasement. Let me add also, you know that as a
group how so?
I don't want to jump beyond that. How is this comparable to
Neverland appeasement of Hitler? How was that appropriate?
Now, first of all, is Chamberlain. And he called the
Neville Brothers or something.
Let's listen to that again. That's a good catch on.
I mean, what I You didn't set the scene for me properly. I
thought they were just
I'm sorry. I should have said this was about the Paris
Agreement that Trump wants to cancel. I'm so sorry. And they
brought in a Princeton climate skeptic that did not know he was
a climate skeptic. He's
a Princeton physicist.
But did they know he was a climate? Skeptic? I
don't know this. I
don't I don't know. Because it seemed like they were stunned by
this guy. Of course.
He's from Princeton. You never expect that. So yeah, you're
probably right. They probably did not expect it. Mr. Harper. I
just want to make sure that you are comparing the Paris Climate
Agreement to the appeasement policy.
It's definitely appeasement. Let me add also, you know that as a
group,
so I don't want to jump beyond that. How is this comparable to
Netherlands appeased
Netherlands?
Netherlands or never
Oakland? Say, maybe that could be a drop out to me here
beyond No. How is this comparable to Netherlands
appeasement,
Netherlands? It went from Chamberlain to Neverland.
It happened oh, that's what it was. Neverland is a chain.
Chamberlain never gone
that. How is this comparable to Neville, appeasement of Hitler?
How was that? How was that an appropriate comparison?
It is a appropriate comparison because it was a treaty that was
not going to do any good. This treaty also will not do any
good. Anyone who looks at the results of doing what the treaty
says, can see that the effect on the Earth's climate is even if
you take the alarmist computer models, trivial, it will not
make any difference and yet it will cause enormous harm.
You know, I'm feeling that something got cut out there.
That was wrong. Because there was Bill Nye was quoting the
Constitution again, and it was not in that clip. I'm sorry. I
have to apologize. Dammit. Well, then let's
go through that. If you hadn't said anything we wouldn't have
noticed. Yeah,
well, but I'm like that. Now let's talk about his show. As we
know the millennials love Bill Nye. They think he's cute. They
think it's the whole I don't know grand bow tie grandfather
vibe. He's cute. And he is pandering to them to an extreme.
Have you watched his Netflix show?
I have only watched the clips that are floating around. I to
be honest, you want to be honest. I'm gonna I'm having
nothing but difficulty forcing myself to watch this show.
Because I know it's going to just annoy me to no end. Yeah.
So it might be good for diet, because it made me lose my
appetite. Yeah,
the keeper and I we forced ourselves to watch one and we
just sat there with our mouths open. Like what is going on
here? It's basically an old dude in a lab coat with a bow tie.
Talking about science and in regards to climate change,
sexuality, the population I mean very little about well, so once
in a while he grabs a little beaker and fills it up with some
red liquid and then puts a Bunsen burner under it and says,
See, this is what happens to the ocean. There's a bunch of burner
under ocean. But then the second episode and I'm sure you saw it.
I just want to play it because it was so bizarre. Oh, this
crazy rap song. Yes. Rachel bloom.
Yeah, it's very it's borderline. It's really, it's really
disturbing.
First of all, it's really bad. It's bad.
It's very bad. It's
just bad. I mean, our arm mixologist who do stuff at the
end of show are 100 times better than this. Yeah, it's just it's
unbelievably poorly done. And if you listen to the words and I
just want to play it'd be if you can't handle it. I'll stop it.
It's about to two minutes.
Yeah, I've heard it. I've heard again.
So you guys seriously this next thing I feel is very special.
This is a cool little segment cool little
segment that's right when I'm talking about but sex.
You know this woman from crazy ex girlfriend. He's given up
for Do you know this woman from crazy ex girl? No, I don't know
what that is from crazy ex girlfriend please give
this world is full of choice A must choose between only Gianna
Joy options only harder boys. My vagina has its own boy and
my vagina has his own voice and it says
sometimes I do a voice from my vagina please don't tell me
yeah, now you're the only one who gives a voice to your vagina
not
power over a top off versatile love may have some buttstock but
stuff and
they have nothing taboo about six Sciences at Salt treasuring
is crazy and just goes on and on about how you should just give a
hand job. You can get it up the ass. It's all good, but
everything's okay.
Yeah, and he's over on the side rockin out. Don't talk to my
boss.
It reminded me of something when I heard this. A
handy thing give yourself props. Oh,
you think you're so smart? Did you learn gay in college and
went?
Well I dropped some knowledge
now let's get social something is better produced. And it was
just at a trade show.
Oh my goodness. I like the Why did you learn gay in college?
I'll
show me this is the other part. Yeah, people if they you got to
track this down on YouTube, some apparent and you know a guy
pretending to be gay or a gay guy comes out a gay Indian.
I've seen this. I've seen this. Yeah, yeah.
So he comes out and then he tears his day takes his pants
off. Yeah,
I almost I almost I almost clip this but it was just so
you don't need to clip any racist. It was so incredibly
racist. The guy tears his pants off. He's got some sort of a
pattern bikini brief on or something? Yeah. And you're
always reminding me there used to be this guy on the Leno Show?
Who was a stage manager one of the stage.
unhinged. Yeah.
And this guy used to at the drop of a hat because he just liked
doing it. It is a big fat guy. You have to imagine this and
this went on for a number of years on Leno Show. The guy
would tear off who he was. He'd have a cowboy pants Yeah,
remember this rabbit shirt and boom, his whole offload come off
and he be there in a pair of very small Speedos. And then he
started dance. I thought it was one of the funniest bits in the
history of late night TV
this show that now the thing with Bill Nighy is he's he's
appearing on Sirius programmes and he's talking horse crap. So
I don't know what's going on. I have sadly I have a feeling this
show is going to be very successful.
No it has to be hate watch to an extreme
Millennials love the guy John they live like
this. This is not going to if this is successful, I'll be
stunned Alright, it's tasteless. It's dumb. I just can't see
anybody. It's a humiliation. That song he did because it's
all over the YouTubes everybody's I mean must have
been 10 People send it to me and they're just say look, this
guy's off. He's unhinged. Anyway.
Hmm. Apparently it's getting ravaged on the Netflix reviews.
Which I guess is not good.
No, Netflix will pull it.
I don't know, man. I have a feeling millennials. Look.
You have this feeling you keep saying that. But what
Millennials tell you why I'll tell watch this. This is garbage
that
millennials love him and this is to me. This is just like Pee
Wee's Playhouse. You watch that stoned. And her it's great. It's
cultish.
You if you watch this stone you'll throw up
moving on it's true. Oh, did you Armageddon is nigh John, the
Armageddon is nigh. Did you hear about this? Yes. You just need
to get Bill Nye on it. Deny on the brain. Well, we have about
eight songs at the end of the show. Joe, he's very popular
today. Did you hear about the Hamilton scam?
Okay, here we go now to Hamilton as an as in the play.
Yes, Hamilton is in the play. So it's so bad now in New York with
the bankers and I know this from my former New York banker friend
that these guys have nothing to do. They don't know what to do.
Don't think that they're they're broke a lot of them. Are there
still guys jumping out of windows, dating back to the
Madoff scandal? Yes, billionaires ensnared by the
Hamilton scam. And when I say billionaires, I'm talking Paul
Tudor Jones
talking scam as in like to producers.
Not quite, it's a Ponzi scheme. So that producers was to Yeah,
but different. This is a different Ponzi scheme.
Yeah, okay, let's stop doing this explaining what the
producers the producers is a movie originally there was those
two done twice as the movie and once as a Broadway in length and
land it was a Mel Brooks story about these two scan the first
movies the best, by the way, was zero most still. And you should
all watch it. The idea was that these these two has been washed
up Hollywood producers decide to to scam a bunch of old ladies
into producing a play called Springtime for Hitler.
Yes, it's spring time for him.
And the idea is that the play will be so bad that it'll fold
in one day and then they'll take all the money that was invested
because they oversold the play, everybody got 100% of it. And
that was the way they're gonna make money. So here became a
huge success as a Coldplay. So this, this sounds like Hamilton,
amongst others Hamill. But think about put to Hamilton in the
context of the producers. Let's do a play and turn all American
forefathers into blacks. We haven't Okay,
okay, stop that. Stop looking. Listen to the story. You just go
you make it you're unhinged.
You're right. You're just making up stuff and money and just
it's not as good as that. So that's why I'm pissed that
you're doing this. Don't do that. All right. Now, my point
is Armageddon is nigh build AI. So a group of bankers approached
multiple billionaires and of course some 100 millionaires
about 125 people in total. And here's how the scam work. I've
said we are going to buy up as many Hamilton tickets and other
Broadway shows. Yes, and we're going to buy those early. And
then we'll all make out like bandits.
Yes, this was a gouging scheme. Well, it's Bloomberg calls it a
Ponzi scheme. I don't know where the Ponzi part comes in. But
okay.
The ringleaders would approach people and encourage them to put
money into a pool to buy blocks of tickets for the hottest
concerts and plays. The most prominent was Hamilton whose
popularity pushed prices to the highest it actually raised the
prices. This is part of what happened. You know what, that's
what happened now. Victims were promised their money back in at
least a 10% profit. And here it says it's rare that any Ponzi
scheme and snares business luminary so highly skilled in
the art of scrutinizing investment pitches. But to
veteran security lawyers, the case has some of the hallmarks
of an affinity fraud, like Bernie Madoff, in which a
comments familiarity can help instill trust I think you're
right. I don't think it's really a Ponzi scheme.
Unless they were paying out 10 But well, it would be a Ponzi
scheme in the in the following way. If
they take the money out Well, there you go. I think they
probably did buy the tickets.
They may not have if that's if it's the keep calling it a Ponzi
scheme. That means they didn't they've took a bunch of money in
since and then did a bunch more money and then they never bought
any tickets and gave first group back some some profit. And then
this is a very good idea that there's a name
interestingly, in the strain. At the end of the story, Bloomberg
says it's a shell game, so whatever it is the fact that
bankers are resorting to this is pretty pathetic. That's
pathetic. douchebaggery I'm gonna give him a big douchebag
probably if they did buy tickets, they're responsible for
jacking the price up.
Oh, they're going to see Hamilton is like pulling teeth.
You can't do it. eight holes.
Total jegos A lot of social justice warriors stuffs a lot of
social justice. jagoff jagoff. Well, you know what that means?
It's time for free from the chat. Jack off where does jack
off conferences.
That's a nice finally lounge access. Beautiful.
I thought it was yes, it's
a loungy sound sound
Yeah, that's Dave Corbin, who is nice. Oh, now we need some
phrases and I have the jingles have done my work. Now you need
to get the segment going. You don't have to do it. Tonight,
I can do I mean, there's so much material now that it's like
true. I can start it at any time I'd like a little like a Like,
is there another jingle or anything else that came in? I
have tons of stuff. Yeah. Well give me one more so I can find
one I'm looking for. Okay,
so we have the one I just played for you this
phrase from the chair.
Then we have this this is this is a you're on LSD apparently
during this segment. Then we have
Okay, back to a time when the word drive though. The drive is
right from the
lane. Let me give you a little bit that I wanted to do with
this was came from our Grand Duke Duane Melanson bar. And he
wrote a couple of things. First of all, he said add to the list
portly, and I sent him a note back said no, that's not an old
phrase. But he used to say this. He says first actually a
trifecta of phrases all of them use when you're sitting in
traffic, that person in front of you does not go the way that you
think they should. And they all had these variants. And this is
from he didn't say where this is from in Louisiana. These are
Louisiana things. My great grandmother would say don't just
sit there like a ruptured duck. Ruptured duck. Yes. And I've
heard that phrase, his dad says Don't just sit there like a
bottle of pee, which I've never heard. I don't know that one
band fuzzer Don't just sit there like an old bag. Now my mother
used to say Don't just sit there like a lump on the
log of lump on the log. That's a good one.
And so there's these phrases. And so I thought it would be a
good challenge to add to the words and don't forget the
subject line should be words so they can all be collected. And
we can talk about it. How's that gone? Have you looked tons? Way
too much stuff. Okay. But the is going very well. So the so the
question of today
is going so well. And you just finally decided to shift I'm
sorry. It's a filler. And so the point dude, what we're looking
for and if you have any of these, it's like Don't just sit
there like a blank blank blank. Have you heard anything other
than bottle of pee ruptured duck, old bag, lump on the log
or whatever. Nice.
Now the now we have a segment
from the chair.
Beautiful. All right, we'll be looking at and remember subject
words, words, a couple of social justice warrior things just go
through for a moment here. Let's see there was a an app, this is
Joe great. You can't go in business anymore. You just can't
make us a face morphing of a face morphing app have
apologized. You see what happened is the face app, as
it's called changes portraits to make people look the way you
want. So you can say I want to look older or change gender or
become more attractive. They have a hot filter. So and you
know this, anything you see on the on the Instagrams is all
filtered unless it leaves a hashtag no filter, it's
filtered. We know what's going on. So the hot filter gives you
a little, little tan. You can only imagine what happened.
Yeah, that's racist. So that has to leave. And they apologize.
Oh, CEOs. Oh, sorry. We are not we are deeply sorry for this
unquestionably serious issue. It is an unfortunate side effect of
the underlying neural network caused by the training set bias.
Oh, okay. Hold on. Let me let's just try this, John. I'll be the
CEO.
Okay. All right.
No, you have to ask me a question. You're
right. I'm the reporter asking the CEO a question.
I'm just answering his CEO statement, because it's really
good. And then you think about it. So
this turned out to be a bad idea. It seems who came up with
this? Did you even test it beforehand? We
are deeply sorry, right? For this unquestionably serious
issue. Right. He said in a statement. Oh, that's I can't
read that. It is an unfortunate side effect, right, of the
underlying neural network caused by the training set bias. I'm
sorry, it wasn't intended behavior, right.
I guess I guess that's right. Now, here's the way here's the
way you could have handled it if you wanted to be aggressive.
Okay. Well, that was the beauty filter that's supposed to make
you look better. And I guess you know, what am I gonna say black
people are just better looking.
That would have been a great one. A Snapchat went through
this too, when they had some kind of filter that turned
people a little yellow. Of course, yellow face said angry
users. It gets better. It contorted facial features and
gave users the appearance of slanted eyes. Oh, this app needs
to be strung up. If what are you worried about? This is it I
guess? There's a new plugin for Chrome not a new idea. We've had
it for many times, and a long time. It's called Su Su this
soothe is a Chrome extension made to help people browse the
web without seeing malicious content. Our main goal is to
prevent online harassment and help users avoid seeing triggers
while they browse the wedge. We strongly believe that no one
online should have to worry about this. That's right. Just
make it safe. The process is simple and subtle. Check off the
type of content you want to avoid it. Let us handle the
rest. Questionable Content is blurred out. If you wish to see
it. Nonetheless, you can click to reveal the text.
So it's one of the blurs out.
Oh, no, it changes words. Oh, that's always doable. Yeah, it
changes words blur stuff out. You got a question Who is behind
this? Me that they are going to make money off of this? I'm
sure. I hope not about well, it looks too professional. I wonder
who is in charge of this. I've got to have some BC if some some
douchebag. Editor in Virginia, some douchebag is paying for
this. But the kicker and this this really shows you now this
is learning we're gonna learn something right here. This is
very important. It says this was posted on the face bag. It is a
screenshot of a message from face bag to a user and the
reply. From the face back, we removed one of your photos
because it doesn't follow the Facebook community standards. We
created our standards to help make Facebook a safe place for

The reply? Well, she identifies as a man so technically her

another look at the photo. Let you know when we have an update.
Sometime later. Thanks for your patience, Jack Strickland. It
looks like your photo does follow our community standards.
So we're restoring it to Facebook. We're sorry for the
confusion. We appreciate you asking us to take another look
face feedback like yours will help us prevent this kind of

all can participate beauty is in the inside. The this is the this
is what this is the funny thing
she would have to have won one of the competitions already.
hmm wow, that's a good question. This they

Not so she's the first one to enter the Miss USA concert.
She's from somewhere let me say it's a is Minnesota nuts. So

Miss Minnesota nuts Ah okay, so she has to go to miss Minnesota
nuts first show when she wins maybe she'll win this she won't
win Miss Miss USA she'll win this. Yeah,
you think she Okay, so that will show we're still in the
preliminary so she has to win Miss Minnesota. Yeah.
What is the name of that movie again about or the it was a
book? I think there was a movie where in the in the New World
Order. If you're strong then you have to you have weights around
your neck. You know, if you're if you're intelligent, they give
you dumb drugs to make everybody equal. What is what is that
called again? Do you remember this? It's a film. It's a famous
book. By Harrison Berger on there we go. Harrison Bergeron.
You remember this? The Bergeron? Yeah. Yes. We talked about it on
the show. It's Kurt Vonnegut's book.
Okay, right. Is it?
What is it called Idiocracy? No, no, no, no, that's no, no,
that's something else.
Gchat rooms not coming up.
Are they because you're calling them the chat room is the War
Room? Yeah. Well, whatever they are. That's Kurt. Well, it's a
Kurt Vonnegut story and it's about this family and it'd be up
there you know, the father's a little bit stronger than than
other people. So we have to wear these weights all the time to
make it
it will make him stronger and stronger if he had to wear
weights this doesn't make sense but anyway, let's that's fine.
Okay, I'll
call Kurt and tell him is he wrote a sumo piece
unfortunately.
Or she could not wear this anymore?
Yeah, well, what's great is that everyone's just guessing and
couldn't just you know, I don't know who's gonna search do a
little search maybe guys are sorry,
back that back on track here. Yeah, you're unhinged.
But, you know, um, you can can't be both ways. You know, the
maybe I'm sounding like a douchebag. But this this is just
not Oh, this is just crazy. I look, I'm against the whole
beauty pageants in general. But if she goes on the bathing suit,
and does her dance, a watch
depends on what the I'm not sure the structure of this particular
event if they have talented she apparently is a dancer. Oh,
okay. Well, maybe she'll dance.
Denise Wallace, co Executive Director, executive co director
of the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, described the 20 year
old student as a trailblazer, but then she and the Miss
Minnesota organizers are used to that label. Oh, really? Oh, her
determination has seen her pursue her love of dance speak
at her State House and Senate become a mentor to other women.
Oh, this is good. Ah man, screw it. Mikayla is hopeful her place
on stage next to the other contestants this November odds
on for a while we'll break down. Barely. Yeah,
we can forget all about it by then. Sorry.
I thought it was cool. All right. Well, let's
go to some actual interesting news that wasn't covered by the
American media. Thank you. Thanks, John.
I got nothing.
So let's go. That's well, yeah, actually, that story does
require a Give me a little of that. This is an interesting
story that only you would only get on RT so you we still have
to keep watching this this network. And this is the
Bulgarians that tell me you've heard about this Bulgarian
weapons crush shop to El Nusrah.
No, I have not heard about this.
Well, listen,
these weapons from a NATO member state have ended up in the hands
of jihadists in Syria. That's according to an investigation
carried out by a Bulgarian journalist. A commander from the
Western backed Free Syrian Army claims the US led coalition is
aware of this but chooses to look the other way. Emily Sue
investigates.
This is a weapons warehouse reportedly owned by Al Nusra
fighters in eastern Aleppo. And when that part of the city was
liberated from terrorist control in December, Bulgarian
journalist still Yanagi 10s yava saw something she didn't expect
to see there are nine warehouses for heavy weapons. With the
country for a general area there were 2 million shells and 4000
rockets had somehow ended up in the hands of the Harris on the
mission to find out how Bulgarian weapons ended up in
Syria Giddins Yabba not only trace them back to its
manufacturer VMC she figured out where the weapons were being
shipped to before reaching Syria. My sources told me that
there are regular supplies for weapons through Black Sea to
Saudi Arabia, so I knew exactly which vessel is carrying the
weapons. According to nautical tracking website Marine
traffic.com Marion Dominica is classified as a hazard a ship,
meaning its cargo contained weapons and explosives. And
based on satellite data, the vessel travels between Burgas
and the Saudi city of Jeddah regularly Saudi Arabia, a US
ally has long denied providing Al Nusra with any direct
assistance, but it does, along with other allies support the so
called moderate opposition group, the Free Syrian Army
investigation Dogana you also introduce someone from the Free
Syrian Army who claims that Saudi Arabia has supplied them
with these Bulgarian weapons and not only that these Bulgarian
weapons ended up in the hands of terrorists from Al Nusra Front.
I think he was totally disillusioned and fed up with
the reality on the ground. So he decided to speak up according to
Free Syrian Army Commander Malik al cardi, the US UK, France,
Saudi Arabia and Qatar controls the distribution of arms amongst
different factions of the opposition. The key says the FSA
share of the shipment is often minimal. The weapons end up in
the hands of radical groups.
Well, this is an outrage. That mean, who's on our turf, this is
what we sell the weapons we can't have these douchebags
selling weapons.
And we're controlling these weapons sales that that's part
of the story that she uncovered, which is the we don't
necessarily just sell them our stuff. And a lot of bullets and
other things are made did like that. 8 million rounds or
whatever it is bullets in nine warehouses. Kevin out of
Bulgaria goes into Saudi Arabia then being trans shipped out
to go kill people for the pipeline.
or Yes, more or less, but it's but it's but Al Nusrah ends up
with most of it. And there's resharing army ends up with a
little bit.
So can I ask the question is, is this actually the way we're
arming them this? Or is this just Yeah, I think not the way
it is a way it's the way I think it's a way interesting
was one of these things. And we if you'd listened to part two,
they discussed this never not much longer, but they just it's
a scandal and it's ridiculous. This is going on?
Why is it? Why is it a scandal
that we're arming Al Nusra, who we have on the list of
terrorists.
Are you shocked?
Yes, I am.
Is that oh cardi claims the US led coalition is aware of this.
The face of Inami has had warned the Americans and Europeans that
the weapons which pass through the Free Syrian Army had gone to
groups designated as terrorist organization. So are you saying
that the US and its allies ignore the warning from the Free
Syrian Army Monaco Kurdish told me that so far, he had no answer
whatsoever. The US has said all along it sees al Nusrah as a
terror group that needs to be wiped out. Although the State
Department has acknowledged in the past that America's allies
may not feel the same. At the SU RC
we asked Bulgaria's Ministry of Defense for comment about the
allegations so far, though we are waiting for their
response. So I heard from our Dutch military intelligence that
a lot of these weapons blow up And he, I think if I'm recalling
correctly, I have to go back and look at my notes. I think he
said that there's a feeling among some of the terrorists
that they're sabotaged. But some of them believe some of these
just blow up just
right. They're made in Bulgaria. Maybe that's the reason they're
blowing up and
possibly, possibly, it was Harrison Bergeron.
Bye. Good bye. vonix. Good to know.
I want to stay in the European Union's little report here from
globalist Christiana on and poor as she talks about the runoff
election in the phone.
Well, look, everybody was watching this with a microphone
or other microscope because it was going to say a lot about
that's a good flub, isn't it? Yeah. My microphone, because
that's all she cares about is herself? Well, look, I do not I
really, I used to like her a lot. When CNN first started,
then I was in Europe and see an international like, wow, this is
great. It was really exciting. This woman's interesting look,
and she spoke an interesting way. And as I grow older, turns
out she's a total douchebag.
Well, look, everybody was watching this with a microphone
or other microscope, because it was going to say a lot about the
state of the world, as you just described, Europe is breathing a
huge sigh of relief, because the polls were right, leading up to
this first round. And macro, who was one point ahead of LePen
actually came out two points ahead of her.
I've heard a lot of different numbers here. I heard that after
they really counted the votes that LePen was leading. Did you
hear this? Or am I? It doesn't really matter, because this is
what does it really matter? So it paid zero attention to any of
these details. This those are the two having the run off, and
that's all that really counts. I don't know why she's even
bringing this up. It's pointless. Yes. You
know, of course, you know, there's only one reason to bring
it up. Trump. Trump's fault? Yeah, well, no, it's the world
is looking at this because the last thing we need is a Trump in
Europe. She didn't say it verbatim. But
the point ahead of LePen actually came out two points
ahead of her in the first round. So what is this for the first
time in 60 years since World War Two, the establishment center
left and center right parties, Republicans and socialists have
failed to make it into the second round. You have on the
one hand, the very, very far extreme right Marine LePen
National Front, and you have the other which is not the extreme
left, it is an insurgency from the center. That is Emmanuel
Macron, who has talked about reforms who's talked about
managed immigration, who's talked about still you know,
sticking with Europe and and free liberal trade and economy.
Unlike his, you know, opponent Marine LePen has talked about
suspending all immigration who's talked about pulling out of the
EU and ditching the euro and going back to the franc, even
the right wing rather the conservative say that would just
bankrupt France. So that's what you have two very clearly
competing visions now for the run off and into the second
round, May 7,
whatever you do, don't vote for her to ruin everything.
Well, horrible. It was It wasn't or weren't all these economists
that after if Brexit passed, that the UK would go broke the
next day. Yeah,
everything would was a total total Armageddon. That happened.
Now. This Macron guy is interesting. And I said what
happened at a French factory was just a dynamite move by LePen.
It wasn't the homecoming he hoped for. There were chaotic
scenes when French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron
visited a factory set to shut down next year and relocate to
Poland. In his northern hometown of M young man, he felt the
visit came too late. The former Economy Minister had been
meeting in town with union representatives when his rival
Marine LePen unexpectedly showed up at the plant before him. Mrs.
LePen is using this situation to her political advantage. Because
what she does is stir up political activists in a parking
lot GeV, I want everyone who lives and works in this region
to know if she's elected, this factory will shut down. And I
can name dozens more in this case, what I'm asking that's
what makes us different in our method and in substance. The
region is a National Front heartland. And on her visit to
the Whirlpool plant LePen got a radically different Welcome to
samba you've become the symbol of this hideous globalization
she said, which pushes factory to move abroad and slash 1000s
of jobs assume we'll do everything we can so this plan
doesn't close we'll find a buyer when the state wants it. Can we
have to stop saying the state is powerless? That's not true.
LePen has been portraying Mike was a candidate who cares more
about business than workers as she seeks to woo those tempted
by abstention in the May 7 runoff
isn't so odd when they're talking about, you know, saying
that the LePen is she's four I don't know they got the left and
right all mixed up over there. I'm not sure Are there it's all
bull crap anyway. Yeah, this woman is like, Oh, she's so
horrible. She's so frightening. She's so scary. But let's talk
about micron for a second. And I have some standing in this area
being married previously to an older woman. So number one for
me was 16 years older than I was. And macarons wife is 25
years older. Oh,
now see this? I did not know. 25 years older. That's a lot older.
Yeah, she was his high school teacher. She also happens to be
heiress to a chocolate to Fortune. Her family's in
chocolate. I'm thinking she's a beard.
Oh, well, just kind of an extreme beard.
It's what I don't know. She's got it's a win win for
everybody. And I'm you know, I'm sure that this man, I'm
not sure he got now that you mentioned, Is he gay?
I think what you're implying Yes. And not that I can't. It
needs to be dismissed
six. Yes, he has characteristics that would indicate that I
didn't even think it into he just brought this up.
And now he's what 3538 So I'm like, that is pretty young. 35 I
believe. Yeah. And
I'm only saying this because if if so it will come out of
something. So what
you're telling us what they did crux of everything you're saying
to summarize it? That this is bringing it down to the basics.
What you're saying is that Patricia was a beard?
No, I'm not because I'm saying I have standing and I know what
a sorry. It's just a good it's a good joke. You should have
laughed
at not very funny, but I will tell you that the vibe went to a
lot of the therapy to figure out you know, what was going on with
me? Especially after number two, and my my problem was Mother
issue. Me I was I kept finding my mom to have a relationship
with
I think, I think you'd have more standing if what you're
suggesting is true, which means if I was stand, like
Okay, Okay, I admit it then finally, what do you want to
hear from me? Yeah.
Well, I'm, that's very, I'd never even considered that but
Lappin and you know
why because a weird our training and corporate media is to never
bring these things up because we'd be fired.
we'd both be fired for yes, this this subject right. We've
already been fired two or three times during this show. Yeah.
Borderline fired. But we would have been fired for sure for
bringing this up. Nobody has even mentioned this is that's
why I said is I didn't even consider it. That's why I didn't
even know he had this older mom, the wife. And
well. I will. I'm not really I'm not gonna make Well that's the
thing that bothers me. I'm not gonna make jokes about you know,
your mom or whatever, because
yeah, but I did I'm sorry. I did that. Oh, no, no, that's okay.
Because that's your job.
But yeah, just things a little creepy
teacher thing you know, there's I don't know there's just
there's a lot going on there. Booger thing you know. We'll see
that well. No, she's not Cougar. She is. She's, well, how old is
she? Let's see. What's the guy's name again? McCrone.
My Corolla. Kroon.
mcloon Macron
what's okay, well, we got we got the basics. We will we'll start
looking at it. When is the election? Well,
the seventh the seventh so it's coming up. She's not not a
cougar. She's a saber tooth. All right, good one.
Well, while we're while we're in Europe, we might as well play
this clip which is about Hungary and Orban. Oh, yeah, verse vs.
Soros is a very interesting story. Yes, it's great.
All right, we're gonna get to Hungary. Now that country's
Prime Minister is lashing out after the European Union
launched a legal action over a new law that could shut down a
major university in the country. A Prime Minister Viktor Orban
accused Brussels of not being loyal saying that instead of
siding with Hungary, it was backing the US billionaire
investor George Soros and the Budapest University that he
founded. There's been protests over Hungary's new higher
education law, which sets out tough conditions for foreign
based institutions, who depend says the Soros backed Central
European University enjoys unfair advantages. Our very own
Brussels correspondent Barbara basil has been following this
story. We asked her to tell us more about the law and why the
Prime Minister thinks it's needed.
Oh, he waffled a bit. You know, he told he says that If
something like this exists in other countries and it doesn't
really mean anything, and plus that the university hasn't yet
been closed, however really what this new law for higher
education means is for him and instrument to close down the
university, in fact, and that is just a tool in his fight against
George Soros. Soros for Viktor Orban is the great Satan. Yeah,
for
me, too. Yeah. We don't do anything about that. jagoff
I go no, say let him run rampant and the guy is a Nazi war
criminal. Yeah. How come the Israelis haven't picked him up?
I don't know, man, because everyone's on a roll because
Hillary's on his The Clintons are on his payroll. Everyone's
the social justice warriors are on his payroll. This guy is a
problem. This guy is a national security issue.
Well, he's good at keeping himself fat and happy. Yeah. I
mean, the idea of when I found it, he got his whole history,
which has been done in various documentaries that he used that
he was a not he was a Nazi war criminal.
He helped the Jews on the train. Yeah.
Yeah. Nazi
and he's completely unapologetic about it.
Except that's true. He doesn't. He's either laughs about it.
When you when he's when it's asked about it. He was asked
specifically about
this. Here's the clip. It was
actually probably the happiest year of my life. of German
occupation. For me, it's a very positive experience. It's a
strange thing. Because you see incredible suffering around you.
And in fact, you are, you're in considerable danger, yourself.
But you're 14 years old, and you don't believe that it can
actually touch you. You have a belief in yourself, your belief
in your father. It's a very happy making exhilarating
experience.
So 60 minutes, it was the happiest time of my life helping
the Nazis. Yeah.
That's unbelievable. Oh, okay. Oh, well, whatever.
But he's got money. Well, we'll take his money. Oh, Jay, good
money anytime you want. We'll take your money. Douche. Just
tracking this. Because I'm tracking it because I know the
CEO. And it leads us into why you know, corporate media is in
big trouble. I've been warning about this. I hard media now
says it may not survive another year.
The surprise is still in business. They're trying to
refinance the debt. And they have in total, they have $24
billion of debt from this leveraged buyout, partially
done, of course, by Bain Capital, Mitt Romney. And they
can't edit. So they got what did they have a note coming up? They
have one coming up soon. Do Yeah, they got like half a
billion note coming up in a few months, and they're not going to
be able to do this. The question is what's going to happen, I'm
just going to chop it up in bits. And I mean, because they
bought Clear Channel, that was the leveraged buyout, they got
an app, congratulations, you got the iHeartRadio app, everybody,
which I'm sure cost them a lot of money, just for the bandwidth
alone. And I believe they're going to split the outdoor
company that CCO the Clear Channel holding. So the big
billboards is splitting that out and hoping that they will be
able to finance the rest. Forget about it's not possible. Now.
It's not it's not. But it's, it's I don't know. I mean, will
that be? I mean, we might be able to pick up a radio station
or two pretty
sure I was looking at effect I've gotten into the into the
various websites that are selling radio stations. Yeah.
What's the valence one, there's one in particular, and I don't
have that name. And right in front of me, it's radio,
something something.com. Anyway, the radio station can be picked
up for anywhere from $50,000 for very small market, right? Small
operation to their tip, the good ones tend to be about a mill
and really ate and what do you get, but what kind of
transmitter power do you get for that?
You're getting you can get pretty much just by thinking and
get 10,000 watts or
more I am or FM.
Both? Am Zulu cheaper. Yeah. But
they're expensive to run.
They're expensive to run and bunches of, but it's I don't
know how expensive they are to run because I know there's a
$400 a month typical fee because all the antennas are leased or
something and there's that's that's an overhead you also have
to have a first class phone on that works there and then
there's a number there's employees that you have. Not a
proposition is a bad idea. I just realized
this I don't think I don't think it is if you if you can get one
at a cut rate.
I'm in podcast Asking I'm sticking right here. You've been
in radio yes everybody I know and but you know what are you
going to do? You can't say anything on the on the airwaves
you can say McCrone he looks like he's gonna
do a music station run edited version of no agenda okay great
but not going to do it. But you'd also you'd also have
access you see this is this is the shag reaming at a different
price
yeah okay I understand what you're saying that's
interesting. That is interesting but still if I can't have Nick
the rat on my station it's not going to be a good station and I
just don't know if Nick can have the view right away are
you running Nick on the no agenda stream? Absolutely.
Live baby yeah kidding me. Even you listen to Nick the rat Come
on. I have listened. Anyway the point the Listen, I listened the
point of the segment was you typically would wind up saying
wow, corporate media sucks. Podcasting is where it's at.

come back into our no agenda. social.com We missed you there.
I showed up. Like for a second. Yeah. Hello, and I miss you. I
miss you.
I went back. I showed up. I couldn't post any of my fabulous
GIFs that I had collected. And then I left because I was gonna,
what am I supposed to do? I can't make my point. I gotcha. I
gotcha. I'll come back when it's when that was fixed. I'll check
it out.
Okay, by the way, don't
don't dry it. You know, I don't want to go on and on about cam
Bucha.
But don't drink it as what you want to say.
It's what I'm gonna say don't drink it, because it's bad.
Well, as you can see, it's a it's a it's a Gava of crazy.
It's a mess. You can't duplicate that, that bacterial colony that
you use to make this stuff. It's it's so there'll be in the
vinegar. Sorry.
Okay, the vinegar book. Oh, okay. Wait. Let's see we have a
lot of F Russia stuff going on?
Well, before we do that, Oh, I'm sorry. We can we do a little f
Korea, North Korea, I
think we need to proudly show our big phone middle finger to
North Korea.
Now the reason I say that is because pack calm. The big pack
calm guy. What's that.com was calm the Pacific Command O pack
calm the admiral who runs it was testifying before Congress. And
I watched the testimony. And he did everything he could to try
to indicate that they need more money. And Korea is going to
attack at any moment.
Oh, more money, more money.
What actions do you potentially see North Korea Kim Jong taking?
That are most concerning? And by that? I mean, putting aside for
the moment what sort of capability they're building?
What might they do offensively militarily? A few years back? I
believe they sank a South Korean vessel they launched some
missiles at a South Korean controlled Island. Do you see
similar things that North Korea could do? I mean, I don't think
any of us anticipate that they're just going to do a full
scale war because they know the cost of that. But other places
where they would try to push the envelope? And if so what are
your concerns about what they might do militarily against
either our assets in the region or our allies?
Sure, I'm not as certain about this as you are, that North
Korea won't do something precipitous? Because the rule
I'm not
I'm not saying I'm certain they are. I'm asking. I'm asking what
what it would be. Could be,
it could be what we've seen before, I mean, which
provocations like the sinking of the tone and or the attacks on
white pedo Island, and the continuing evolution of their
nuclear and their ballistic missile testing. All of that.
Just to be clear, and the purpose of the question, I am
not at all certain that they're not going to do something, I am
confident. Advil, I'm not certain of anything at this
point in my life. It's just the nature of the world. But I am
reasonably confident that North Korea sees the threat of
launching a full on war against South Korea or Japan. And the
consequences of that. What I'm worried about is that they will
do these sorts of little small things, thinking they can get
away with it and be wrong. And I'm trying to get a greater
clarity of what those small things are, which is why I cited
those those two previous examples. In the current
environment. What are you worried about? Are they are they
likely to once again, you know, try to sink a South Korean ship?
Are there disputed territories that they might try to take
over? Where should we be looking for that small thing that could
lead to the larger much more dangerous?
First Officer, I don't share your confidence that North Korea
is not going to attack either side. If Korea or Japan or the
united states or territories or states or parts of the United
States once they have the capability bullshit.
Oh my God
goes on and on
sales sales call. Was McCain in this meeting?
No, this was this was the house. Oh, okay. No McCain couldn't
hear me he could
be he probably under the table given him a handy
I wouldn't be surprised. So there's a guy from the
University of Denver. This clip was called North Laurie you
Denver, who is the ex ambassador or something and he was a guest
involved with some some negotiations with Kim Jong Il.
And he comes out of the University of Denver's a very
strange school. You can look it up as mostly they do a lot of
professional training. It seems like a spook school. That
cholera Colorado College is kind of a spook school. This is
something else and I'm not it may be a spook school but did
listen to this north. This guy talk for a minute.
Trump is increasing US military strength
North Korea, University of Denver.
Yeah, North Korea University of Denver.
That's what Okay, well, I don't know what could this is. Thank
you.
President Trump is increasing US military strength around the
Korean Peninsula after missile tests by the North. Well, this
evening we spoke with former ambassador Chris Hill King led
the US delegation in 2005. In talks with the North over
curtailing its nuclear program. Phil is the Dean of the
University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International
Studies. Mr. Ambassador, in terms of American lives, is
North Korea a threat or an irritant?
It's a threat. It's a threat. First of all, we have some
28 30,000 Americans in South Korea. But we have to understand
this is a an agreement we have we are duty bound treaty bound
to come to South Korea's defense
Why Why? Why? Try? Oh, treaty, what treaty? Is this?
The defense treaty? I don't know. There's a treaty what we
signed. That's what we're still there. I think that war never
ended. We don't want to end it. We never want to meet with North
Korea. The whole thing's a scam to sell arms. Ha
that treaty? Yes.
Should the North Koreans attack if we have to go in there? We
would be in the middle of a fight. So you bet. I'd say it's
a threat to to our lives. You lead the
American delegation negotiating an agreement with the current
dictators, Father, what do we know about the son Kim Jong
Hoon?
You know, his father seemed to care what China thought seemed
to care what we thought and what distinguishes, I think his son
Kim Jong Un, he doesn't seem to care what any of us think. And
he's certainly not been interested in any any phase of
negotiation, as you saw.
So which is the number one thing we know that they actually want?
They want negotiation, they do not want arm is this. They want
to be seen as a full country. We can do that. Because China and
because arms sales.
We could do it if we wanted to China or no China? No, we don't
want to do all this to him.
No, what I mean by that is we need to have our spy crap over
there to spy on China under the guise of North Korea.
Yes, China. And they China knows this. And the thing they don't
well, maybe he does mention because somebody mentioned it,
which is that the agreement we have with South Korea to protect
them at their attack is almost almost the same as the agreement
that China has with North Korea if their attack. A war with
North Korea is now a war with China.
Yeah, but we're not at war. We're not going to go to any
war. It's not going to happen. I can tell you
that sales are up and he's certainly
hockey stick not been interested in any any phase of negotiation.
Is he saying? Saying from the point of view of running that
country of making sure that he's consolidated power or making
sure that everyone works for him? Yeah, yeah.
We know that the North Koreans have been successful in building
missiles and successful in detonating nuclear weapons and
tests. The real trick is putting those two things together. What
are the chances that the North Koreans are close?
You know, very hard to say. But the the feeling is that within
the next four years, they could have a missile system with a
nuclear warhead. That wouldn't be credible, whether it would
finally work when they push the button hard to say but it would
be credible and any president would have to consider that as a
as a real threat.
Sales sales just
it's now there is one load. Got plenty of these clips. But
there's one more clip I want to play for sure. Which is this is
the PAC calm guy again. And he decided to he went I think he
went a little bit off script. And he decided should discuss.
See what I have it here. This is the group that they Trump sent
over. There's the Carl Vinson group, which got the Carl
Vinson, which is a big
destroyer, aircraft carrier. It's
a huge carrier with a bunch of boats around his ships around
it. And I guess something was written by the WaPo, or the WaPo
WaPo. Somebody wrote something that just it didn't fit it
didn't leave was irked by it. And so he corrects the record,
pointing out that apparently the article is just a piece of crap
as the Carl Vinson Strike Group defense question. Here, sorry,
on the frontlines, I want to ask my questions on on defending
against missiles. And actually, I want to ask it in two
different areas. You described some additional forces that we
are putting into the region. I know there have been some press
reports that say that somehow those forces are not able to
defend against missiles launched from North Korea. Let me just
ask, Can American military forces in that region defend
themselves against missiles launched from North Korea?
This Chairman Absolutely. There was an article that came out
this morning for one of the outlets that suggested that the
Carl Vinson strike group and I think it's appropriate that
we're talking about the Carl Vinson here in this room,
they're going to Carl Vinson room that the Carl Vinson strike
group with this incredible capability to include two guided
missile destroyers and waning Meyer and Michael Murphy in the
link che plane that somehow that that carrier strike group would
not be able to defend yourself against ballistic missiles. I
believe that article and articles like that are both
misleading, and they conflate apples and oranges, if you will.
We have ballistic missile ships in the Sea of Japan in the sea
that are capable of defending against ballistic missile
attacks.
Where's this coming from? Do these guys operate autonomously?
Do they just say it has President Trump just said and do
whatever you need to do? I really want to know I mean, this
I've never heard the rhetoric ratcheted up so much in the past
couple of years. Partially by him with the big Armada. What is
the end goal? Do we have a big sale? I mean, what when is the
big? Is there a sales done
to sales of those, that crazy missile system that they put on
the thought, Oh, God, they have a bunch of the thought that God
thought they have a bunch of protests. There's a big stink
going on in South Korea, because they don't want this thing in
which they
don't want that. But what I mean, if the sale is done, what
what are they doing? Yeah, so I think what's happened I think
they got dragged into Congress. And I don't know what was the
point of this is I think that's why this guy's correcting the
record on the defense capabilities of these.
Wow, okay, well, let's hear the rest.
North Korea does not have a ballistic missile anti ship
weapon,
but all we are told is be very afraid they they can strap a new
conduit they got this. Oh, they're gonna kill us. If they
can't even hit a ship. That can't even need to ship you see,
that are capable of defending against ballistic missile
attacks. North Korea does not have a ballistic missile anti
ship weapon that would threaten the Carl Vinson strike group,
the weapons that North Korea would put against the carbon
strike report easily defended by the capabilities resident in
that strike group. If it flies, it will die if it's flying
against the carbon strike Chris I'm confident and that
this is a great so this is a T shirt.
If it flies, he will die. Flies it will die.
Sure if Kim Jong Hoon right there. If it flies, he will die
resident in that strike group. If it flies, he will die if it's
flying against the carbon strike, Chris, I'm confident and
that story group's ability to not only defend itself, but to
project power. If that is the call that we received from the
President a secretary Professor cheese. Yeah.
It's very, you send somebody over there to have a meeting and
that thing would be over resolved.
Meanwhile, we know that we don't have a new leader in South Korea
yet. Do we? I think that's still unresolved.
Well, no, I'm not saying it sounds grim to meet with Kim
Jong yum yum. In no Once Korean the whole thing is over. Just
getting a thing it's a huge tourist trap after that, I don't
know why they won't do that. They just want to keep this up
and want to keep this bowl crap going. Can John Yong Yong Kim
Jong Yong Yong, Kim Jong Yong Yong. Kim Jong Yong
Yong. Yeah, well, I find it very annoying
to uh, here's what here's a good example of how annoying it can
get. This is Gingrich spitballing. I put on this clip,
yeah, with with undressing fox, fox news, or one of these
outlets. And he's just a part of this whole scheme. I mean, when
you heard at the beginning of the show, that guy is trying to
drain the swamp, talking about the kind of weird corruption
that goes on. In Washington, DC, it's just part of a lifestyle
after a while,
for there will be a military coup, and he will be replaced by
a more rational leader. Or we will begin to take military
actions, which could start with things as simple as killing any
missile they'll be capable of carrying a nuclear weapon, it
could be steps that are short of starting a war. And the question
then is what does he do? To what degree and we don't know the
answer? To what degree does he wants to survive? To what degree
does he think that if he's not tough, that he won't survive in
his own society because they'll kill him?
But his recent behavior he's killed a very skilled and Uncle
he's killed.
You saying it wrong. He fed his uncle to the dogs remember, he
fed them to the dog's dog's behavior. He's
killed the birds killed an uncle, he's killed. You know,
other detractors.
He's gonna be called a girlfriend. He killed his
girlfriend and her entire band. I mean,
I didn't hear about this. I didn't either. What band what
band? What
band band are dead?
I think if I'm okay with Kim Jong Hoon killing bands, but I
want us to help vote for which one?
Yeah, the girlfriend. He killed his girlfriend and her entire
band. I mean, this is guy, this guy who is unhinged. I think
it's makes it in the immediate future very, very dangerous.
We look, I think what we've got to consider here is if America
is going to take this action, we better be prepared for him. If
he's as mentally unstable. His reports have said that he would
go scorched earth. That's a possibility.
Now, what do you make of like, for example, the President did
have great meetings with the President of China.
All right, fine. Okay, I'm going to tell you something right?
Now, they have nothing. They have nothing. They have
absolutely nothing. There's nothing we can do whatever. We
want a classic.
This is the media. It's unbelievable. It's just talking
about scorched earth. They just make it up. Go on and on. It's
on it just to get excite the public. It's ridiculous. And and
to put you know, here's the here's that same guy, this is
really flipped play is clip small diameter bombs.
Need you highlighted in your written statement? was more
munitions. We're running short of some critical munitions, more
money. Would you want to elaborate on that? Or should we
be more specific when we go up to the classifier?
I can elaborate elaborate on it in general here. And then I
would ask that we reserve the details for the classified
session. In general, we're short on things like small diameter
bombs.
What's a small diameter bomb? I've obviously well, it's a it's
a bomb with a small diameter, what small but just small
started to 1010 centimeters,
I think as small diameter bomb would be something you can lift
up. Okay, I know. We're short
on things like small diameter bombs. You know, these are,
these are not exciting kinds of weapons. These are mundane sort
of weapons. But they're absolutely critical to what
we're trying to do, not only in North Korea, against North
Korea, but also in the fights in the Middle East. And so we have
a shortage of small downer bombs throughout the inventory. The
stock
stock small diameter bombs.
Yes, yeah, we got none.
We got to deal with small diameter.
small diameter bombs that PAYCOM has, for example, we send them
to the fight we're in and rightfully so to CENTCOM to
Central Command and Africa. And so that's the fight we're in and
they need them. And so, you know, we send them there, and
they use
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's fight are we in? He said,
That's the fight we're in. What fight are we in?
There's some fight we're in and you've got to back it up a
little bit because he has a punch line of that just cracks
me up. You'll hear it. I'll
be quiet. But I just want to say he says we need bombs. Who are
we
bombing? Love bombing someone,
we have a shortage of small downer bombs throughout the
inventory. So the stockpile of small diameter bombs that PAYCOM
has, for example, can call overstock.com.
See
if they have any
shortage of small downer bombs throughout the inventory. So the
stockpile of small diameter bombs that PAYCOM has, for
example, we send them to the fight we're in and rightfully
so, to CENTCOM to Central Command and Africa. And so
that's the fight we're in and they need them. And so, you
know, we send them there, and they use them, which is a good
thing, but that means they're going to be short again, and
we're going to send some more. So that's the fight word.
They use them and that's a good thing. Yes. And
do you know what the small diameter bomb is? According to
the book of knowledge? What a 250 pound precision guided glide
bomb. Oh, something you can carry, John. Well, well, you
could some you could lift 250 pounds.
Most US Air Force aircraft can carry a pack of four. The nose
sdbs small diameter bomb sdb. As these things are cool. It's got
tri mode. It's got infrared infrared homing radar.
What does each one cost?
I don't know if they have the cost a lot. Yes. $287,000.
You want an eight per bomb? It's like drop it you know you could
drop Ferrari,
the enemy and save money.
But this is read. Allah Akbar. Muhammad is giving me Ferraris.
That's a very odd style. Yes, more than a Ferrari which is a
high tech product. Very
odd thought you had there. That's but we're dropping these
things,
is what he says. And he says it's a good it's a good thing is
always a good thing. We're dropping these bombs.
I'm embarrassed. I'm so sorry world. We've always been this
way. I'll say but now it's just blamed on someone. Now. It's
just all Trump's fault. We've always been this way. Alright,
let me let me grab a couple of clips here as we wind things
down a tad. Yeah, let's wrap. You had Newt Gingrich. This is
my alternative universe clip. Gingrich knows what's up you
guys
call collectively lived through Trump knocking off all the
Republicans. Trump knocking off Hillary being wrong about all of
it at every stage, and they turn around and you play the same old
conventionalism Donald Trump is the most divisive president
since Abraham Lincoln. He represents an alternative world.
It's why you have riots in places like Berkeley. Here you
have two parallel universes. Exactly. Very funny. Megyn Kelly
interview I did two weeks before the election, she was giving me
all this polling data. And I said let's the two universes.
Now if your universes right, Hillary Clinton's president of
our university, right, Donald Trump as president, I completely
take that point. That's what have you seen in the country and
parts of the country now?
Yeah, I completely take that point to alternate universes.
Totally Right on man. Did he was he listening Stephanopoulos? I
told out I totally take that point. Yes. In one universe,
Hillary Clinton won in the other universe, Donald Trump won. They
just go Yeah, of course I get that. Of course, we all know
this is happening. Hmm. Now on to some Putin hate Putin hate,
because we're still trying desperately, although has been
shoved a bit to the background because of our great weapons
sale program, to, I guess, scare everybody into buying more
weapons. Russia is a little bit pushed to the background.
Although, of course, we know that they are obviously meddling
in the European elections. We know that. Of course, if Marine
LePen wins, it'll be because of Putin. And Adam Schiff is still
out there trying to get everyone to believe and if you listen to
his appearance on Conan, which I started watching Conan, yeah,
he's a welcome. Welcome alternative to everything else,
really. But in this case, he was kind of cozying up to Mr. Chair,
this
is I think, really probably the most difficult question for all
of us on the committee, which is, how long will this take? We
all, I think, feel a real sense of urgency. We know the country
is watching, we want to get this done. At the same time. If we're
not thorough about it, then it won't add much value. And so we
need to move as expeditiously as possible. But I really can't
tell you how long that's going to take. It's an investigation
that's global and reach.
He's still trying to get the independent committee together
and everything because he just wants to do anything to be the
hero.
And probably one of the least sexy issues that we're
confronting is we simply don't have the resources, the
staffing, the size and the scope to be able to do an
investigation quickly of this magnitude. It's one of the
reasons why in addition to what we do, I've been championing an
independent commission. Big Because I think having that
single focus well resourced body would really add to what we're
doing. It's
boggles my mind that we wouldn't have adequate funding to find
out whether or not a foreign power interfered with our
election. Well, I mean, that feels like we are the richest
nation in the world. Shouldn't we be able to raise that money
and find out once and for all, was our democracy meddled with?
Well, you're
absolutely right. And the reason why this, I think is so
important. This is not an effort to relitigate the election, I
know the President likes to sit is simply say, oh,
is trying to overturn the elections, what you're trying to
do
re litigate, and why this, I think is so important. This is
not an effort to re litigate the election. I know, the president
likes to simply say, Oh, they're just sore losers, right? Yeah,
we know, the Russians will do this again. And did we know the
Russians are doing this in Europe right now. And I can tell
you, the Russians are very good at their cyber operations, if
they want to get into your computers, Conan. And I think
they do. They will get into your computers. Yeah. And yeah, and
it doesn't matter how good your cyber defense is. The only way
we protect ourselves is if we can inoculate ourselves, we can
inform our public that this is what they do. This is how they
do it. And to reject it. That's really only the only defense
Wait a minute, wait a minute, the big mighty Murca. We're
number one foam finger high in the air, the only thing we can
do is just say we don't want it. We we deny your attack.
Only way we protect ourselves is if we can inoculate ourselves,
inoculate ourselves. But we are going to inoculate it has that
work. Well. A vaccine apparently I think way too soon, we'll have
a vaccine that will help you separate fake news. From real
news I don't know else is
the only way we protect ourselves is if we can inoculate
ourselves if we can inform our public that this is what they
do. This is how they do it. And to reject it. That's really only
the only defense.
The only I mean, I don't understand what he's saying.
That's the only defense is to reject it. I reject you, Putin.
Am I crazy? I
have no idea what he's talking about. It doesn't make any sense
whatsoever.
That's the kind of stuff that's still going on. Blue and you
don't know where there's big news. Why don't you get joking?
And then we could not finalize the show without one more clip
from Maxine Waters because all the millennials love her. In
fact, I can't wait to see the Maxine Waters Bill Nye show that
would be it'd be I do have one last clip too. So all right.
I'll play this. Actually, I have one more after this. But this is
Maxine on with Chris Hayes. And this is about Jason chef, a chef
it's resignation. Fishy. Everyone thinks it's very fishy,
fishy. Legit fishy? Well, let's ask Maxine Waters,
understanding of what you think it is the Congressman Chaffetz
is doing?
No, I really don't. And there's a lot of speculation about what
he's doing. There those who are told that he's trying to
position himself to run for higher office. And I think it's
for governor. There's also thing that he in some ways have some
connections to what is going on in the Ukraine, and perhaps in
Russia itself and know something about all this? I don't really
know. I can't say but he's strange in the way that he's
conducting himself. And maybe he thinks that if he rolls out and
punch to the back that something is going on with plan that he
did not disclose, and this is criminal. I mean, he's violated
a federal law that somehow this will raise him above a maybe
what connections he may have with the with the equivalent. I
don't know I should say we need to keep an eye on
I should say Congressman, I have not seen any evidence produced
to that I know that speculation well so we'll look for the
evidence representative Maxine Waters thanks as always for
being
my Millennials stay.
You don't want to know I was just gonna say this is I have a
clip that follows that clip. Okay. Which is the Flynn newest,
so I could say make my bitch again after this is a very short
clip
ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The fact that Mike Flynn did not fill out his disclosure forms.
Those are red flags. Those indicate he was trying to
conceal something about these Russian payments.
Just last month, Flynn requested immunity through his lawyer to
testify before Congress, the President supporting the move,
calling the investigations a witch hunt.
This is not only a nagging story, it's a potentially
explosive one that could really distract the White House.
Okay, let's stop. Yeah, he got a check. I've worked for these
people. He got a check in the mail which people which be
leading authorities, the people that put this event together in
Russia, could
you tell him Same set extra push to tell me about leading
authorities. I didn't know I did on leading authority.
Yes, we talked about this already leading authorities as a
speaker's bureau, one of the top three, there's three of them
good ones. Well, one of them seems to have fallen by the
wayside. But Washington speaker's bureau, Harry Walker,
and these guys are, I think, Boston, they put the event
together. When you work for one of these operations. They send
you the check, you do not get a check from Russia that you have
to disclose and you are working for leading authorities. You're
doing this at the end of the show. This is big. I talked
about this before on the show here, but not in this context.
Bus because this clip just can't I wouldn't push this off. But I
just found it annoying that they would do this or trying to set
this guy up. He did not get a check from Russia. He got a
check from the speaker's bureau. Hmm. So he didn't have to fill
out all this paperwork. He was working for them. He wasn't
working for the Russian.
Oh, this is great. Now I'd like to play my mad cow clip about
this. I was gonna skip it. But now we can laugh at her idiocy.
This is great. So just let's just to repeat this in no way
shape or form that he did. Michael Flynn, Lieutenant
General Michael Flynn take any money from Russians. He took it
from leading authority and American based
leading authorities plural. Yes, an American based speakers put
this event together
cheese and this and this is how that's translated on MSNBC
is the idea that the White House says they have zero
documentation related to Mike Flynn and his vetting seems a
little
well, so related to the security clearance. It's possible that
they just took because what we know from public documents from
reporting is that Mike Flynn got a new security clearance he re
up to he renewed his security clearance that Sf 86 form in
January of 2016. And then publicly, he became associated
with Trump in February of 2016. But I think he probably just was
up on that five year deadline. If he had renewed it in January
2016, then it's very it is likely that the NSC the White
House, the Defense Department would not have made him do a
full new full SF 86 It's a real pain in the ass you have to
write excuse my French, you have to write every country it's
okay phrase from the chaise, please write that down. Pardon
my French you speak in English lady, I'd like to know where
that comes from. Pardon my French
will fall into the SF 86. It's a real pain in the ass you have to
write excuse my French, you have to write every country you went
to and as I mentioned already, all that your foreign context.
And actually American context to people have to reference give
references and make sure again that you can be trusted. Okay.
So once you do that, you if you're taking a new job, though
he's been out of the government in the US government, you may be
required the White House may have or should have made him
update his his SF 86 Give all the new contacts he had had,
since he filled out the form in January, unless he was reporting
those regularly to the Department of Defense. So there
are a lot of open questions with regard to what he was
reporting. And the open question is, what are you smoking? That's
the
lot of open questions with regard to what he was reporting.
And then of course, the financial disclosure forms those
he definitely would have had to give to the White House Office
of Personnel. So Management, OPM for short, and that's the office
that this the Congressman should be getting their information
from. They may not have very much it may be coming from DOD.
And it may be that the White House didn't give a full scrub
of the security, the security clearance information. And we
don't know what they did with regard to the FBI. It's
all super important in terms of figuring out what the what the
trail is that these members of Congress are trying to follow.
And where there is likely to be documentation, particularly
given that they've just been blanked. Evelyn Farkas, former
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, thank you for helping
us put this together. I feel like it's a puzzle and we're
filling in the frame before we get to the middle of it. Thank
you very much. Thank you. We're all you men.
Don't worry, all you have to do. You're filling in the frame. All
you have to do is just listen to John. This I think this is such
an because this is ongoing this bull crap about he received
money from Russia. If the typical defense is while he
wasn't working in the White House, then he wasn't a part of
this. But it he received money from an American company. Just
like President Obama speaker's
bureau, if you're working for a speaker's bureau, and I hit he
made me exclusive to them. They're the ones who cut the
check.
But also, this comes at the same time we had it by
the way, because they have to take a chunk out of the court
and take a piece of it.
It's comes at the same time President Obama is taking
$400,000 for an hour long speech at a Wall Street company. So
maybe it's more fun to talk about this Jumoke than it is
about about Obama.
Now. Yeah, of course it is because the media hates Trump.
Yes. I have only one law. I only have one last one you can play
right after you play yours or whatever if you want to play
another clip, but this is because the only reason I want
to play this because it's it's happening as we speak, which is
the Writers Guild is about to strike. Oh, it actually
happened.
And I really wanted to what was that other one you had?
I don't know. The News poll rocking out.
We'll play that. So Writers Guild, and the way it works into
this as a Hollywood story. Yes. When Hollywood when the writers
go on strike, they becomes very interesting.
Some of the most popular shows on television. be forced to shut
down production, members of the Writers Guild of America voting
to authorize a strike that could come as early as next week, we
could see an immediate dramatic impact on television, you will
see lots of shows go into reruns right away. And in the long
term, you can see delays and shorter episode orders. Billions
of dollars and 10s of 1000s of jobs at stake a new contract
with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
producers, the industry's trade group hit an impasse over pay
and health benefits. And BC universal is a member of that
group contract. A decade ago, writers walked off the job for
100 days, losing nearly $300 million in compensation, as Los
Angeles County took a $2.5 billion hit. With most summer
movies shot the strike would largely cripple new television
production. Industry already confronting the rise of
streaming services, while writers say shorter seasons have
led to last
pay. This writer's strike is so much bigger than just the
writers from catering to all sorts of camera equipment,
all of them would be impacted with both sides working to reach
a last minute deal tonight real life drama behind the scenes in
an industry still hoping for a Hollywood ending. galau McGerr
NBC News Los Angeles,
you always find this fascinating writers and whether you're
writing songs or whether you're writing television shows, or
movies, they pretty much always get boned. They really do they
always get screwed over with the last strike was a good one. And
it took forever. Yeah. So are we presuming that writers of
Netflix and Amazon shows are under the same guild? Are they
in the union? I
just not. It's not clear. I mean, I think in some
situations, they aren't some they're not. Whatever the case,
they're all pissed off about the fact that all these shows have
changed their their season offerings, they do 1314 15
episodes instead of 24. And if you go back into the 50s and
60s, they were doing 3036 38 shows or I don't know what they
would
there's also just less money to go around. There's just less
money. There's too many channels, too much content and
crap content. And
one of the real problems that the real Gotcha. And this is the
health care problem. Yeah, because it's all jacked up. And
these guys want some coverage and they're getting none.
Because it's too expensive. I think this this could happen.
Oh, I hope so. I do too.
Oh god. I love that. I mean I feel bad for the right. I feel
bad for anyone who's out of work because of it but screw that.
This is good. Well, airports see airport police in Chicago, the
very same airport police who were who by the way are not
police. They don't carry weapons. They don't carry guns.
At least they may have I don't think they have tasers. But they
don't they don't have guns. The airport police of course dragged
the doctor off the plane off united. They put such a mark on
the Chicago Police Department who were not involved in it that
this happened until this
infamous passenger dragging episode at O'Hare Chicago's
airport police were angling to become part of the Chicago
Police Department. Now they are fighting just to keep the word
police on their sleeves. After we reported yesterday that
aviation police vehicles were already being rebranded as
merely security of busting down from police to essential
security guards today resulted in this unfair labor practices
complaint being filed by the union representing Chicago
aviation police officers, SEIU Local 73 accusing the city of
jeopardizing the traveling public safety by rebranding Doa
police is something else. Mayor Rahm Emanuel today saying the
name change had been in the works. But what is critical, he
says is what officers do
what everybody saw is totally unacceptable. There's a review
slash investigation going on. And I'm not going to prejudge
that my main goal now is do as I said, get to the bottom on what
happened. Find out who's responsible, make whatever
changes are there. That's what the report is going to be all
these are fair questions when the reports back. We're going to
do that.
But downgrade from police to security undermine the actual
authority held by aviation officers and place everyone
using Chicago airports at unnecessary risk. According to
the complaint, Doa officers are trained and certified as police
although they have never been armed.
I love this. Taking off the word police off their cars and
putting secure
Yes, downgrade because it is one bonehead
that's one of the best stories ever. Yeah, we're just gonna
call you guys security guards with us mall Mall Cop What did
even better and ball kind of what they are mall cops. No
offense, but
and we're gonna make you drive those segways around.
Yeah, with a helmet with that goofy helmet on at TSA should do
that, too.
Yeah, that'd be perfect.
All right, everybody. Looking forward to the weekend show is
going to be another good one. Of course the big move for Tina the
keeper and myself is tomorrow. And Monday and so I think I'll
be doing the show Sunday from the air stream of consciousness.
Oh,
well, it was fine. You do a good job there. Thank you.
I do my best. And for all of you. Thank you for your support
of the program. Remember us at the vortech.org/na for our
Sunday program. We do need some help after today's showing. And
