Okay, John, great. That was a great lesson. Why I have a Mac
OS This is why I have a Mac
Yeah, I have that they have seven all on permanent

advertising stuff. They tried that they failed. They tried
that in the in iOS. They tried to sell what remember that the
apple ads or whatever. Yeah, we have the inventory. No, you
don't. Anyway, well, it
just looks Take some news this week.
Yeah it was kind of guy was kind of fun really this was I didn't
expect this one I liked it. I were talking about
it but I was very disappointed by by the fact that it so
overtook the news cycle that you had to really go overseas to get
anything other than Don't be caught me.
No kidding. And then it was and it was really, to me it was just
fun to watch the the meltdowns and people freaking out. I mean,
CNN was it was, I mean, it was just pure entertainment to
watch. You really beautiful. I'm sure you didn't watch any of
it. I watched quite a bit of it. Oh, you watch CSI couldn't get
around it and I had a lot of this stuff. I have a lot of this
stuff set to pre record. Okay, we ended up with a bunch of
stuff I didn't want.
Can I give you just a couple things here just because what
happened here now of course, we're talking about FBI Director
Comey being fired. What was so fabulous to watch is the
dimension a people really hated Comey for making Hillary lose.
And then when he got fired, everyone went you Yay. Oh, well,
yeah.
You get your dimensions mixed up again.
I'd be I mean, b Yes. B. B for bought a for Adam. I remember
now. So be everyone went yeah, he's fine. Wha? Wait, good.
Wait, Could someone please tell us tell us what to do and how to
feel. That's really what happened. People were had to be
told how to feel about this. And this was witnessed nowhere else.
No or better really, then. Stephen Colbert, I'm not going
to play the clip that has been out there. Just go on and on and
on people. Oh, look at this where Stephen Colbert said FBI
director got fired. The whole audience goes, yay. And then
he's like, Well, why don't you hate him? Don't you understand
why he's not he's doing Come on. Would you would know he's
investigating. It's rompa Putin. That even goes Oh, yeah, that's
right. Blue. But it really took the Oracle had to come in.
That's right. John Stewart had to come in to tell everybody how
stupid they really are.
Do you know that James Comey was fired by Trump? Right? What are
you gonna question for the audience when I said that Comey
were fired by Trump, y'all cheered? Why?
Because what he did to Hillary Oh, he's investigating Trump's
campaigns ties to Russia will now will evaporate like cotton
candy. Ocean.
Whoa, whoa, you know, you got wave. That was like a beginner
surfers class where they were like, I'm standing up. Oh, no,
wait. Hold on. I hate that guy. I love that guy. But Trump did
it but and they didn't know how to feel. And it was interesting
to watch.
What Well, listen, you live on a farm now. Okay.
So there it is. It was interesting to see you people
did everything wrong. This is not how it works. It's just
great to see late night comedians that are controlling
the messaging for Dimension B. It is a Jimmy Kimmel with the
American Health Care Act. He's controlling the messaging and
reference as such. Yeah, I mean, it's just beautiful. But anyway,
so this news came through and JEFFREY TOOBIN on CNN, who is a
he's a constitutional lawyer. I think we've discussed this in
the past. I think he is why every lawyer should be a
constitutional lawyer, but he just lost his mind.
Can we point out that the emperor is not wearing any
clothes?
Wow, how many times have we heard that in the past two
years? Does it Dickens even read the emperor has no clothes
anymore. Don't be no
didn't just a references law. I was I was curious about that.
This right from mightest that Midas references are lost to
have the Midas
touch. Yeah, yeah. Well, that was last even been my youth but
this emperor has no clothes. Yeah, I don't think kids know
what this means anymore. I don't think the books well, we should
check out
this memo from rod Rosenstein is it says that James Comey was
fired for being too mean to Hillary Clinton. Does anyone
believe that? Could anyone believe that? I mean, it's just
absurd. I mean, that the suddenly here it is in May of
2017. And factually,
that's not what the Rosenstein memo says it doesn't say no,
no, it doesn't say that at all. What's he talking about?
That's his interpretation. He's a lawyer. You can question the
constitutional lawyer
in May of 2017. That he's being fired for a press conference
that he held in July of 2016. No, I mean, this is just the
most preposterous pretexts. This is an investigator who is
investigating the White House, and he was just fired by the
White House. This doesn't happen. In the United States,
except on October 20 1973, when Richard Nixon filed Archibald
Cox, and if anyone thinks that a new FBI director is going to
come in, and the agency will just take over and continue
their investigation, as if this had never happened, that's not
how it works. They will put in a stooge who will shut down this
investigation is my
this is my favorite part. So already is made up in his mind.
That is because Comey was mean to Clinton, where is it? The
letter very specifically states that he did things that are
expressly forbidden by the FBI protocol. And there's something
hidden in there, which is not discussed, which we'll get to in
a moment. They are in charge the pull now it's like, oh, well, of
course, we'll put us fusion. But what a Stojan historical people
are in charge of the FBI, not the street agents, the street
agents do what they're told. And now, Donald Trump will put in
maybe Chris Christie, someone who will do his bidding,
that that would be
great.
But by the way, he does know, of course, that that investigation
of the Russian connection is being handled by Komiza. The
second guy the second in command, who wasn't he's the guy
doing it, and the reason why he's not Comey is the Comey is a
is a bureaucrat, he's a technocrat he's a he's the
manager. He's not the guy doing that. He doesn't do
investigations. He's not an FBI agent. No, that's okay. Well, I
have a top that
I'm a follow up and you can top me, you know how I love being
bottomed. Listen to Ben now in the same conversation with a
Trump stooge. I think former Virginia Attorney General Ken
Cuccinelli, who have never seen before on CNN, do you know this
guy? No.
I've heard of him actually. Well,
it seems like a Trump a Trump operative. And he argues exactly
that about the FBI just shows
that he knows he's under investigation yet he's firing
this guy anyway. It's it's, it's not normal. And it's not
American. Okay.
Yeah, he's, I disagree. I'm completely on the other side of
the coin. Here we have an investigation that is
proceeding. Everything that happens in this investigation
tomorrow is going to be the same in spite of the removal of the
director of the FBI because the professionals who handle this
day to day are going to keep handling it day to day they're
not going to all head into their office and start talking. Oh
come on. It's ridiculous. Yeah, this doesn't stop anything. All
the grand jury subpoenas go out the work and pursuit of those
who will continue just to so
why why is why is there a head of the FBI if the poor guy
doesn't matter at all it just they just sort of operate on
automatic pilot
the whole agency operates day to day a whole set of career
professionals who carry these investigations and are
responsible tells them what to investigate you know once in a
while one of them die and they were able to work
where did you hear that? You
hear that last bit that's funny because the tube in his face was
fantastic
investigations and are responsible to investigate you
know once in a while one of them die and they replaced them and
lo and behold the investigation goes on
it to be someone dies it was beautiful to watch just heads
exploding
Yes, let's go let's get give me the Maxine Waters jingle
Oh my god. Well, you're gonna you're gonna use syrup. I have
the jingle I have the same clip obviously. And now you're going
to think that by slipping it in now you're going to top me
whereas I have the exact same clip. That's first come
first serve Oh crap.
Next is coupon California sales won't you keep on one? Scumbags
All right.
Okay, good bye. Have a good not getting you're not getting Clip
of the Day because I have the clip. I'm not expecting clip of
the day I was Maxine Waters is Maxine. MSNBC not the bonus
clip. I understand.
No, it's classified and we can't tell you anything. All I can
tell you is the FBI director has no credibility.
That was Congresswoman Maxine Waters criticizing now former
FBI Director James Comey after a close briefing on Russia's
interference in the US election that took place just one week
before the President took office here at the White House. For
more. I want to bring in the congresswoman herself, Maxine
Waters, who's joining me now, Congresswoman, we appreciate
your time. You obviously have been very critical of James
Comey in the past. You said that he had no credibility. I assume
that you support the president's decision then to fire his FBI
director
and you might want to mention this was on MSNBC.
totally stunned by it was about and not only that, but the guy
was relentless British Yeah,
I loved it.
No, I do not necessarily support the president's decision. If the
President had not gone all over the country, praising him about
the way he handled Hillary and the emails, if the President
said he had confidence in him, if the President had not said he
was a part of his team,
but Congresswoman understand that in the past, he was
praising him. But if you said that FBI Director James Comey
had no credibility, wouldn't you support the fact that the
President then then countered, now President Trump made the
decision to
get rid of him? No, no, not necessarily. And let me tell
you, you have an investigation going on where the President is
implicated. And this is a serious investigation. I've been
trying to get people to focus on this connection with the
Kremlin. And with Putin, I have a resolution that I introduced
in February. I think there's enough there that we know about
the Kremlin and about Putin to be concerned about whether or
not there was collusion, believe where they believe that they
should have to connect the dots and get the facts, because I
think it will lead to the impeachment of this President.
So, Congresswoman,
respecting that to be clear, you believe it would have been
better to keep in place, an FBI director who you said had no
credibility to oversee this investigation than to find
someone who you think would be a better choice?
No, but I believe the President thought that don't forget,
you're talking about what some Democrats said when I said, But
don't forget, he was the president. The president
supported him. You had confidence in him. It was within
his power. And you said he had no credibility. So no, no, no,
no. under investigation? No, no, this President basically has
interfered with an investigation where he may be implicated.
That's outrageous. And that's why we have so much of a
conversation about it today. Everybody is talking about it,
because this is highly unusual.
The bottom line is that you think an FBI Director without
credibility would have been best served in this position.
I think it's the president. If the President had fired him when
he first came in, he would not have to be in a position now
where he's trying to make up a story about why it does not meet
the smell test.
The smell test. Why watch out her head's exploding?
My Millennials stay
as pieces of her head,
I think that she is I don't think she even knows that she is
being ridiculed. I think it's racist. I think MSNBC is racist.
Well, yeah, that's possible. Hey, you're black and you must
be stupid. Yeah, that's kind of
she is a sucker for to come. Camera time. She's a camera.
She's a media whore should come on. And if at the drop of a hat
John get invited on enough as far as she's concerned, and can
say whatever she's gonna say, and it's just, it's all
convoluted. She's never been, you know, the brightest bulb in
the Congress. And her hand is gone. And she thinks that she's
got to be good, you know, President or has a shot at it.
Yeah, of course. I'm gonna give us a shared Clip of the Day for
that because we come on, we can do it. Honestly, it was too
beautiful, too beautiful. That's
very funny. What's your bone have a little bonus is that day
goes on a little bit longer. But there's another he does it
again. He he put you know, he pulls a quick one and to get her
show. That's her logic isn't? She has no logic understood. So
if Hillary Clinton had won the White House, would you have
recommended that she fire FBI Director James Comey?
Well, let me tell you something. If she had won the White House,
I believe that given what he did to her, and what he tried to do,
she should have fired him. Yes.
So she should have fired him but he shouldn't have fired him.
This is why I'm confused.
No, no, you're not confused.
No, you're not confused. Yeah, we are kind of just a little bit
away from the crowd. We're not racist. Those days are over.
They called you on Fox tonight well, we're ready for her
presidency. That's two firings.
You've been fired twice.
Yes. I know. It's no i
i do have one little clip that I think is kind of meaningful is
backgrounder besides the backgrounders themselves. And
this is the one from PBS This is Tim Kane's also pretty funny. I
don't hopefully the promises too many clips about Comey and his
Yeah, because
I have some I got some I got some new shit has come to light
bro. Yeah, I
know I expect you to do something like that.
Oh you rundown call me PBS is that the one you're looking for?
This is the actually we might as well play that's the rundown and
I can find the rest of it that was by the way that was Judy.
Smack
symbolize edit i like it it's a Tourette's thing. Let me see if
I can make it work. Doesn't work. Okay.
This is only the second time a US president has fired the head
of the FBI. The initial shockwaves from Mr. Trump's
stunning move, left awake of questions and condemnations from
across the political spectrum. William Brangham begins with
where we are now and how we got here.
He wasn't doing a good job very simply. He was not doing a good
job.
That was it. President Trump's verdict this morning over his
firing of FBI Director James Comey. The President's
termination letter to Comey yesterday said the move was
necessary to restore public trust in the agency and
attachment from the Deputy Attorney General rod Rosenstein
faulted Comey his handling of the Hillary Clinton email
investigation. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee
Sanders gave more detail today.
Frankly, he'd been considering letting Director Comey go since
the day he was elected. I think that Director Comey has shown
over the last several months and frankly the last year, a lot of
missteps and mistakes.
In a tweet this morning, the President said Comey lost the
confidence of almost everyone in Washington, Republican and
Democrat alike. when things calm down, they will be thanking me.
But little was calm on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue
today. Vice President Mike Pence was on Capitol Hill and offered
a longer defense of the President's decision.
President Trump provided the kind of strong and decisive
leadership the American people have come to be accustomed from
him, and he took the action necessary to remove Director
Comey and that's why this was the right decision at the right
time.
Meanwhile, Senators face nonstop questions about what Comey is
firing means for the ongoing probes to Russia's meddling in
the election. Now, whether the Trump campaign colluded in that
meddling, Democrats said the firing would need Americans to
suspect a cover up. And they repeated calls for a special
counsel disclosed but Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that
would be counterproductive.
Today well, no doubt here calls for a new investigation, which
could only serve to impede the current work being done to not
only discover what the Russians may have done, also to let this
body in the national security community develop
countermeasures
here to Minority Leader Chuck Schumer question the President's
timing. Why did it happen last night?
We know Director Comey was leading an investigation and
whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians a
serious
offense. So very serious. Did
you find I do want to mention one thing, which is that this is
paid back for the Clinton, special prosecutor Ken Starr,
I'm
glad you brought that up. It's a little bit of odd little bit out
of sequence.
But it's just paid back. Because yeah, which led to a witch hunt,
which led to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which led to the
impeachment. It had nothing to do with what they were looking
at, which was Whitewater, I believe and some other crazy
cattle cattle futures and the cattle thing and you know that
these that's what these things did. The guy's got the job as
special prosecutor and he just wants to build up his budget and
keep his job so that it becomes
everything force.
And that's what they're trying to do here. But
it's not like we haven't been predicting this for a couple
months.
Right and knows exactly what we've been predicting the clip I
wanted to get into here, before we went any further is this
particular clip because it does bring out an issue that I think
is floating around kind of as a subtext. Right. This is the DW
sub take on Comey Aspen guy
explain the decision that had to call them off guard as well. But
we have to remind people it is within the President's authority
to fire the FBI director, isn't it?
According to the law, that is the case. But the norms have
been set over, frankly over a century now in the first
director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, who was there for a long
time. And Torricelli had a very difficult relationship with
several presidents, right. The director position is a 10 year
term position and the reason it's established that way is to
maintain the integrity and independence of the FBI as a law
enforcement agency. And
okay, no, no, that's bullcrap. That 10 years was not to
maintain any sort of integrity that 10 years was to limit it to
limited
exactly and and vague extended your for an actually
got extended which was very, very scary. The FBI and he
mentioned the firing is legal because it is so okay there's no
illegal activity here. And then he mentions J Edgar Hoover's an
example and got presidents who didn't like him. He was
blackmailing everybody. Yes, he was a Edgar Hoover was a
blackmailer, the FBI does not have a very clean record. And so
the 10 year thing was put in place to prevent another
blackmailer from coming in and staying staying too long. And
what was scary about Muller is he was the guy that came in just
a few months before 911 obviously knew something and
therefore was extended through Obama, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, he got extended. And so that so the idea of the 10 years
for some consent, that's bull crap, that is total bullcrap.
And this guy is the eighth this guy, this is in Deutsche Vela,
this is in Berlin, this guy apparently started the Aspen
Institute offices in Berlin. Yeah, there you go. The Aspen
Institute, which is a spooky operation out of Aspen,
Colorado, run by the guy who wrote the Steve Jobs book,
Isaacson, ah, oh, really. And the whole thing is fishy. And
why this guy is like, not all of a sudden an expert and then
defending the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, that this is this is an
under kind of a bullshit thing that people need to be reminded
of the 10 years was not to maintain anything, it was to
prevent something from happening again.
And this has sparked a whole bunch of reaction, a lot of
comparisons to Watergate, you know, just just pulling in
everything possible Bernstein of Woodward and Bernstein, as we
know, he is he's now making money through CNN, and
apparently some agency,
let's get to basics, and that is that this is a terribly
dangerous moment in American history. The President of the
United States has repeatedly made clear he does not want a
legitimate investigation into the possible collusion of his
aides and campaign with a hostile power. This is
unprecedented in our history, a president who himself has
attempted to impede the legitimate investigation of
essentially looking into whether or not people around him and
perhaps himself, have colluded in some way with the enemy
with the enemy. And I heard a lot enemy. I heard a lot of
enemies on MSNBC, you know, we were attacked by Russia. They
struck us we were attacked attacks. And Rachel Maddow could
not find any of you.
Well, Pelosi said that it was you know, she tried to say it's
an act of war.
Yes. That Rachel Maddow was so beside herself with glee, as she
said is unprecedented. And then of course, she had a whole bunch
of examples of precedents, which was funny
been seeing live images of a plane sitting on a tarmac, this
was great.
This was like OJ almost. So they have a helicopter shot of Komiza
Gulfstream, the agency Gulfstream whoever it is taxiing
down on the taxiway to line up and to take off and and Rachel
Maddow was narrating it
now moving down a taxiway. In Los Angeles. This is a private
plane of some kind. It's not unusual for federal agencies,
especially big now she's an aviation expert ones like the
Department of Justice or the FBI, to have private planes at
their disposal. Director Comey was in Los Angeles for I think
what was supposed to be a recruiting event today an event
that was canceled. There was some logistical question once he
was fired today by the White House as to what would
physically happen to him in the immediate aftermath of his
firing,
taken away in handcuffs with this is what Trump is about the
dictator
was removed. Effective immediately. So right now he is
no longer the director of the FBI. He's still in that private
plane. But we believe that Director Comey is on that plane,
which is now taxiing down the runway, in Los Angeles,
presumably they'll be flying back to the East Coast.
Presumably, FBI headquarters are in Washington. He'll be heading
back to Washington.
Oh, man, she's doing the whole travel itinerary. This
is riveting. But all of this is unscripted at this point.
It's unscripted. It's unscripted. John, oh, it's
crazy, because everything should be scripted and government back
to Washington. But all of this is unscripted at this point. All
of this is unprecedented. There are historical parallels to what
happened today. But there is there has never been anything
like this before. There's ever one instance previously one in
US history in which an FBI director has been fired and we
won by a US president. That was a very different circumstance.
It was President Bill Clinton at the time the FBI director who
was fired
she even circumvents the whole Nixon things it's very
interesting
was William sessions. There were in effect, abuse of Office
concerns that had been documented against him by The
Department of Justice things like using a Department of
Justice aircraft to fly to see his family,
you see that she's just confusing so many things
completely unhinged, I think is the term we'd like to use on
hinge on hinge. Now, here is something really nice that I
picked up. Let's see if I have this here. Yeah. Kellyanne
Conway came on with the Cuomo kid on CNN. And Cuomo was just
breaking her over the coals, of course fun to do.
I thought she was persona non grata.
Oh, but now if we get to pull her apart, it's fun. But what
happened? Because I decide I want to start saying something
about, about how the news business works and having videos
go viral. So I was like, Oh, I gotta listen. Yeah, she often
lets things slip. That I think she doesn't mean to. And there
was one small news story that came out just before the firing
after the last show in between the last show and the firing.
There was this little little news story that Comey had
directed the FBI to go back and change the record of his
statement to was it Senate or Congress? I don't remember who
he was talking to. Where he said, Oh, no, you know, who am I
Aberdeen? No, no poor intent there to, you know, the hundreds
of 1000s of email hundreds or 1000s, I think is what he said
emails that were sent to Anthony wiener. That was just a mistake.
And apparently that information was factually incorrect. And
this is what no one is talking about. But Kellyanne, let's slip
in this interview.
Look, what I want is the truth. That's all we should all want
here. And the idea that you should know the fruit of the
investigation these many months in is naive and deceptive.
People who have been around these investigations will take
you tell you they take time. Those who are doing it on the
Senate and House side say they take time, you've been
representing the White House with James clapper.
You see she's talking about an Android device. And I couldn't
figure out what she was saying. So this is why I started to
listen to it.
You've been misrepresenting the White House, what James Clapper
said when he said he had seen no collusion.
Of course, does she get a word in ever? Or is he just going to
put somebody on the screen and just start yelling at him? He's
the host. When says When did the host become an advocate?
Kellyanne will say exactly this and not the same word.
Representing the White House. What James Clapper said when he
said he had seen no collusion. Proof. That's accurate. But he
also said it's because he didn't know anything about the
investigation. Comey had been quiet about it. He wasn't privy
to the record. He doesn't know the facts. See, that's very
different. You don't like that part. Because you want as the
president says, For this to be a hoax, I get it. And that's why
Comey being ousted just when that is heating up, not back
when he started his tenure. He didn't need anybody to tell them
that Comey had been divisive within the agency. He knew all
you're getting all the data check what you're saying.
I've got gotta check what you're saying. Fact Check files. I've
got
to check what you're saying. I've got to provide the context
for it. Because you're creating an image that doesn't reveal
itself in fact,
let me know when I can answer knock yourself out.
Oh, what a dick. Knock yourself out. She had an interesting
comeback.
That doesn't reveal itself. In fact,
let me know when I can answer knock yourself out. Well, I'm
gonna knock this out of the park by
knocking out the park on your ass Cuomo. Alright, now listen
carefully. Ask yourself that.
Well, I'm gonna knock this out of the park by telling you that
I'm sure it'll go viral now that you use the words now even
deceptive people think you use those words about me, although
you were talking about a state of talking about
this is this was interesting to me that she accuses him the
whole conversation. She doesn't care. She accuses him of using
the words naive and deceptive. And she claims that this is the
new thing in the news business is to cut up the video. So it
sounds like the viral headline would be Cuomo calls Kellyanne
naive and deceptive and that would go viral. And she's
claiming this is the new way that news works. That was
interesting to me. And then of course then I heard more
says words about me, although you were talking about a state
of talking about this narrative coming out, saying that's the
new thing to try to go viral. But here's those of us who do
want the truth. Okay, the idea that you think that this was
about Russia, and not about a an FBI director who just yesterday
forced his Bureau to correct sworn testimony to the Senate
Judiciary Committee, where he said whom Abdeen had this
practice feud for, quote hundreds of 1000s of emails,
President Trump was so upset
that James Comey was unfair to Boom, Aberdeen that he fired
him.
Now President Trump is President Trump wants an FBI director, who
is impartial, who's not politicized. And who has the
confidence and the trust of people in the Bureau of
Republicans, Democrats on Capitol Hill of the Attorney
General of the Deputy Attorney General who oversees the FBI
director and the president united states. Why
didn't he do in January?
So but I'm seeing I think there's an internal issue.
Remember, it is the FBI in New York City who have the emails,
this is it all came down with those guys. And I think Giuliani
is involved in all of that. And I think what happened is Comey
tried to dust that away. He got called on it because he said
something wrong, which he probably didn't even intend to
do. But there's something about the Houma Aberdeen email. Yeah,
it's really not kosher. And Kellyanne slip. Yeah.
There's another little tidbit you missed here. What I miss.
The guy that makes it in this is part of the narrative. Well,
then, in fact, Maxine Waters uses it well. Does, nothing's
changed. Why did he fire him when he got in office?
Because he didn't have the deputy confirmed yet.
Exactly. Because she says, or he says that, while she says in
this case, that the Deputy Attorney General is the one who
oversees the director of the FBI. The guy's only been in
office for two weeks. Yeah, he that had to wait for him to get
his feet wet. He gets an office two weeks to two weeks later
says this guy's gotta go and fires him. Yeah, exactly. So why
is what is does anybody take a look at that and say, Well,
maybe that's the reason he wasn't fired right away,
you know, and there's a lot of hush hush about Obama's emails.
No one is talking about that. But there's something big going
on with those emails. And it goes beyond just this, this
stuff going on? For sure. I mean, she lets this slip, and no
one else is talking about it. And even Cuomo doesn't doesn't
dive into it?
No, he doesn't care.
Now, call me I just want to reiterate that we've always been
thinking what is up with this Comey guy? If we're just going
to talk circumstantial evidence, as everyone does? Please
remember, he was on the board of HSBC, the notorious money
laundering bank, he was on the board to help fix, he's a fixer
to help fix this issue with HSBC. And they also do all the
Clinton foundation money. Yeah, these these guys are not kosher.
So I always thought Comey kind of knew what was going on there.
And it's like, oh, keep an eye out. And I thought maybe he was
on Trump's side. But it's possible that he was really
there covering for Hillary all along.
You read, it's impossible to figure this out. It's a mess.
Yeah, it's a mess, for sure. But now that but the one thing that
I keep seeing over and over, which is very disconcerting is
especially by now, is the CIA, front people. Yeah, the spokes
holes mostly in the media, that are somehow not necessarily
working for the on the payroll basis. Many maybe maybe as
consultants are there, somehow they're connected. And they're
all in a row saying the same thing. Which leads me to believe
there's something really wrong at the CIA because they're
trying to keep because what they don't want, I mean, they trump
put a new person in there. Yeah, but there must be something big
going on there that they tried to get stopped cover up or
something that may have to do with the nun. I don't know if
you can find the story, but look at see if you can find search
for the word warlord. There was a clip that we didn't play,
which I had never got around to it. But one of the major major
warlords in Afghanistan came out of the woodwork and is now
demanding that the United States leave the country. 1000s of
Afghans
turned out today to hail the return of a former warlord to
cobble. Goldeen Hekmatyar responded with a demand that US
and other outside forces leave Afghanistan, you rallied the
crowd with a call for peace with the Taliban. And he criticized
the Afghan government for its cooperation with the US.
Lumajang
let's all end this war together in our country first, and tell
the foreign forces that Afghans are able to sort out their
issues themselves, and that we want them to leave Afghanistan.
No one has any justification for the presence of foreign troops.
The US now has about 8000 troops in Afghanistan. Next week, the
Pentagon is widely expected to recommend sending more troops.
Now, I think at this point, I mean, there's been a movie about
this about the Vietnam War and the movement of heroin into this
country, coordinated by one of the intelligence agencies. We
had the Iran Contra. We had Iran Contra Rod was a minor compared
to what was going on now that we have this opium epidemic in this
country gee, if it ever got out, I mean, with some proof instead
of two guys speculating based on you know, well just you see
American
American American Gangster that was
the American gangsters it was true movie fan, if any if it if
it got out with the epidemic that we have and all the deaths
that we've been having with overdoses in this country, that
the CIA was responsible for it in any way, shape or form,
because they're using it as theoretically as their way of
getting a lot of black money that they can spend on other
things, including controlling the media. It would be a
disaster.
You're absolutely right. And it is so analogous to Iran Contra
on a different scale. I agree. CIA was selling drugs. The way
they did it is they created crack cocaine sold it to poor
neighborhoods. Right, Gary? Gary Webb got killed over this, you
know, so that was 3540 years ago. It'll take 3540 years, and
then we'll learn Hey, remember the big heroin epidemic when
kids were dropping dead? Yeah, it was the CIA bringing us shit
in so they could get their funding for whatever other
things they were up to. Yes, doing? There was a very
beautiful Oh, and by the way, I'd like to I'd like to just
point out that how slick we were just there a minute ago.
Oh, yeah. No, I didn't see you do this too often. Remind.
That's okay, I take it back. Conduct Condoleezza Rice was on
the view. And you don't have to groan because it was really
interesting, in that she did not and she has she's promoting a
book, then maybe she's promoting herself, I get that goes hand in
hand. And of course, this is right after Comey got fired. And
she's asked a series of questions. And none of the
answers are what the viewer wants to hear. So they just keep
asking questions. And no one's like, Oh, really, you know, none
of that. And so it kind of starts with Flynn. And, you
know, i How could they have not known we saw Paula Yates say
that she told everybody don't hire this guy. Get rid of him.
He's horrible. How do you make somebody heed a warning that
they may not want to hear?
Well, let me just say, I've been in Washington, and a lot of time
you have no I told him this. I told him that. I don't know what
those conversations were really like. So I'm not going to go
there. Right. I'm just going to tell you this. Michael Flynn is
gone. Yes. And HR. McMaster is as good as you can do for
national security adviser and so Americans ought to be comforted.
Wait a minute, by the character of the person who's there. This
is one of the most decorated and best generals of his generation.
Is me having trouble with Trump though right now? Not that I can
see them? I did say something right.
It's a really good national security team. Look, it's a we
have a different kind of President. All right, let's He's
different. He's a great way to put it. Never been in government
before. And when you haven't been in government before,
sometimes it looks kind of easy in there until you get in there.
And when he said, you know, this stuff's a lot harder than I
thought,
Oh, yes. This is where we get a punch line. Oh, what an idiot.
He didn't know it's gonna be much harder. Nope. When
he said, you know, this job's a lot harder than I thought I
actually kind of felt bad for him because it is a really hard
job and
what, I feel bad for him. We got problems here with this guest,
because it never does he just get no, no, no, we just keep
asking until we can get a punch line
felt bad for him because it is a really hard job and it's a
lonely job, and you want people around you who you trust. So
they've done well. Rex Tillerson is a really good secretary of
state and Jim Mattis is a great Secretary of Defense. And
they've got some really tough problems that she would just
saying at the beginning. You know, when you're dealing with a
North Korean leader who is let's say, let's just say reckless, he
might even be unhinged. Oh, yes. Yeah. And he
we got to do that more in unison. We got to get better at
that because this word is not going away. Is
let's take let's just say reckless he might even be
unhinged.
I'm on my You're late. Come on. Let's try it again.
You know, hold on. You have to what are we gonna do a to b?
What are you gonna do just as soon as it's in his you're
sitting on top of one beat
and I'll do two and we'll sync up.
Okay, I'll try it and the leader
who is let's say let's just say reckless. He might even be
unhinged.
On his close enough,
and he is getting better with nuclear weapons. He's getting
longer in his ranges to perhaps once they reach the United
States. I don't care who you are as President. That's a scary
series. Take it seriously. Okay,
so Oh, this guest is starting to suck. Okay. Let's talk about
Flynn them because we all I'll know he's in the pocket of the
Russians.
Madam Secretary. It's been alleged that weeks before
President Trump's inauguration, Flynn discussed American
sanctions against Russia, as well as other areas of perhaps a
possible cooperation with the Russian ambassador, as someone,
this, by the way, is not proven. This is all just assertions. You
know, this is not a fact by any by any means.
I released the transcript. So we'll get it over with now. And
they do that. And because it's not in there, I
presume
raishin with the Russian ambassador, as someone who has
had that position as National Security Adviser, would you have
felt comfortable at that time before the inauguration having
those conversations? Or Is that inappropriate?
Oh, goody. Now we're gonna get him?
Well, let me make a distinction here. Because when you are the
National Security Adviser elect, in other words, your your guy's
been elected, but you've not yet been inaugurated, you will have
conversations with foreign supporters. They want to meet
you they want to establish a relationship. The thing you
shouldn't do is to talk about policy suggests that you might
be changing the policy of the administration. There's there's
only one President at a time until you're president until the
new president is sworn in. The president who is there gets to
make policy. So I don't know what Michael Flynn did or did
not say, nor does anyone there on the view. I'll just say that,
as a matter of principle, you can talk to anybody in that
period. But you should never suggest that you might be making
changes in policy, and maybe they should just wait until
there's a change in administration. I don't know
whether he did or did not. But the principle is, you wouldn't
do that. Hey, team, this is clearly a dead oil guy, maybe
have something to say about the guy, Exxon tilahun Tillerson,
so you mentioned Rex Tillerson, and you're a big fan of his I
hear you now and I've read that. And he has the same job you had?
That's right, right. But the difference
between him and you I
think is is you're not a winner. He's a you're a woman,
that he has deep ties,
business ties to Russia. And it seems as though we were talking
this morning about all these people who are attached to
Russia. Oh, I mean, what do you make of all that attachment to
Russia? Well, if
you're an oil man, the Russians have what people call good
geology. Right? They've got a lot of oil. And if you're an oil
CEO, of course, you're going to try to negotiate with Vladimir
Putin to get rights to drill for that oil. That's what you're
gonna do. I think what you've seen, though, is that whatever
Rex Tillerson relationships may have been in Russia, he is
acting on the basis of what the Russians are doing. He did
something I'm not sure I would have had the nerve to do he went
to Moscow just before he's going to meet with Putin. And
now she thinks she's a hero. I mean, this is crazy, because I
would have had the nerve to do he went to Moscow just before
he's going to meet with Putin. And he says, while the Russians
were either incompetent, or they were lying about the Syrian
chemical weapons, I thought, wow, that's rough. So not sure I
would have I'm not sure I would have said that. So he's, he's
acting on our behalf.
Oh, but he's in the acting on behalf of Exxon is that can't be
that this makes no sense. Oh, and now, Condoleezza Rice sticks
the knife in the view. And they can't even say anything.
I get that about him. But what about the rest of them? The rest
of them didn't work. Other guys, the other guys, let's
look at where relations are with the Russians. Again, I think we
ought to be looking into what ties were there. That makes
perfectly good sense. But also want to say something about
Vladimir Putin and interfering in our elections. Okay. He has
been trying to interfere in our elections and everybody else's
for a very long time. What cyber Allah
I love the girls in the backdrop. That's right. That's
right. Yes, true factor. That's right. There in the back, oh,
yeah.
interfere in our elections and everybody else's for a very long
time. What's fiber allows him to do is to do it more efficiently
and more quickly. But let's not deceive ourselves that the
Russians haven't tried these tricks before they have. Now, I
would have said, when we would have said to the Russians, we
know you did it. At a time of our choosing, we will find a way
to punish that behavior. But Vladimir Putin is an eye for an
eye kind of person. And we questioned or Secretary Clinton
questioned the legitimacy of his election in 2012. Now he's
saying now I'm going to question the legitimacy of your election
by hacking into it and so forth. So don't let him get the
satisfaction of thinking that we don't believe our own elections
to be legitimate.
So do you think that was a personal Eye for an Eye against
Hillary Clinton?
I don't know what she said. But yes, yes,
I think it was personal. But these n n e likes to intimidate
Madam Secretary,
if he indeed did engage in these types of tactics in our election
than the very legitimacy of our election, isn't it? issue isn't
a no, no. That's where I know is just sucks. Chin is an issue
isn't a
nod? No. And that's where I would first of all I, I don't
want to question his motives beyond he's an eye for an eye
kind of person. Secondly, I trust the people who voted in
Wisconsin and Texas and Alabama and California to have voted on
the basis of who they thought was best gonna represent their
interest. And so I'm not going to question the legitimacy of
their vote because Vladimir Putin tried to interfere in the
elections. That's just a step that I don't think we should
take let's let's trust our fellow citizens to have been
smart enough to vote for the people that they thought they
ought to be voting.
And the backup. Yeah, yeah. No, it's just a moment of freshness
and clarity on the view. Oh, my goodness, be the last you'll
ever see of her. Well, interestingly, now she's on a
tour. She's gone to many different outlets. And this was
on, let me see. I don't know where she was on. But she
slipped as good as she was on the view. She slipped. Listen
for the slip in this short clip about North Korea and South
Korea.
The situation is going to be complicated further by what
happened in South Korea in the elections because by all
reports, this is going to be South Korean government that has
a more favorable disposition toward the North Koreans,
perhaps once negotiations, but we're going to have to say to
the North Korean government, do you understand that with missile
defenses in the like, we would like to try to protect you. But
don't even think about trying to in the isolation of the North
Koreans because the American president will not tolerate the
situation as it is. But yeah, she
says he blushed two or three
things in there. Yeah. But she says we're going to tell the
North Koreans something as though she meant South Korea's
and then she's I don't know what the hell
no, no, no, what she's saying she was scrambled that yes, the
possible new leadership of South Korea will want to reunify and
she saying we can't have that. I mean, arm sales. Crazy. Exactly.
Well, here here is that this clip is New Moon it says Moom
the guy's name is Moon and he's, you know, there's only four
names and Korea Park moon and Kim Kim yum, yum. And so in the
first effort, the first name is the last name so it says uses to
keep parks Sun and Moon anyway, so this guy is probably related
to the moon guy. But this is listen to this guy who does
report on him from Deutsche Vela
right now to South Korea, where the new president says he is
willing to visit North Korea to improve relations between the
two countries. The son of refugees who fled the north, the
new leader advocates a less confrontational approach towards
Pyongyang. That's one of several challenges facing him already on
his first day in office.
This is South Korea's new president Moon Jae In former
human rights lawyer in a liberal taking over after a decade of
conservative rule. His inbox is full and given recent high
tensions with North Korea. Perhaps the most urgent task is
to set a new tone with Pyongyang. He says he's ready to
go wherever necessary. may try to solve the security crisis.
I'll be on the move for peace in the Korean peninsula. If
necessary, straight to Washington. I will go to Beijing
and Tokyo. And if the conditions allow to Pyongyang as well.
Exactly, yeah. Oh, we can't have any of this.
No, we can't. What's gonna happen? Good.
I just got a clip in it. It would be kind of dangerous just
to play it. But we could. Apparently, Condoleezza his take
on killing Kim Jong Hoon? Should we give it a shot? Go one
to make a really good point about what China may or may not
want. I mean, if we were to see the regime, you know, go away or
die. What does that mean for refugees? Are they all gonna
flood into China that they don't want that
they don't want that and that long border that they share
would be they believe unstable. But the alternative at this
point is a North Korean regime that keeps going on the path
that it's on, and that ultimately confronts an American
president. I don't know if it's a year from now, three years
from now, five years from now from now, with having to use
military force to deal with that with the capabilities of North
Korea. So I would say that the Chinese nobody wants to take
advantage of what might happen in North Korea, most especially
the United States, but you've got to get tougher with that
regime. So many.
I guess it was about the killing of him. I don't know. It was
about nothing. Now I'm sorry. We tried but it is very interesting
to see South and North Korea wanting to reunify and these are
families that were split apart. I mean, this is
the end the new guy Moon is a from a North Korean family.
Yeah. And we can't
have this because then why it's more about China than about arm
sales. But China is also about arms sales. We can't have this
happening. So how are we going to do that? How we probably have
to kill the new North Korea, the South Korean guy.
That's the only solution because we need the evil kid. Yeah, the
evil kids good. versus evil kid is awesome. I got an ask Adam.
Still based on the Comey stuff. Okay. So I got to I got this
chatterbox was on Charlie Rose said did some journalists issue
that they couldn't talk and she was stammering and everything.
She's bitching and moaning about the about the firing of Comey.
And she at some point, she she mentioned something I said no,
no, no. I stopped it because this is a perfect ask Adam
massacre, forcing out of the box. That's right. The Watergate
comparisons of bound, renewed calls for a special prosecutor
with Representative Eric Swalwell of California. Democrat
is on the House Intelligence Committee saying this is not
what an innocent person would do. This is an abuse of power
shows the consciousness of guilt. Pat Leahy, the senator
from Vermont says it's nothing less than Nixonian so on and so
forth. And well, most Republicans that we've heard
from so far in these early, you know, our two, since this has
begun unfolding, have stood by the decision for Comey to go
setting he had been a lightning rod and contentious figure. But
one notable exception so far on the Republican side.
All right, let's see
what one notable exception on the Republican side would take
the sight of the Democrats in attacking Trump. You got five
seconds,
the Lindsey Graham and or John McCain.
Pick one.
Did Lindsey Graham? Ah, wrong. No damage, stamina? Do I get a
booby prize?
I'll tell you that. You got to remember this one little
precept, Lindsey Graham. Does what John McCain tells him to
go. Okay. I think the reason why because I remember seeing
Lindsey Graham clip somewhere. I just thought maybe he was the
one was interviewed by dammit. So it was McCain. Yeah,
play the answer.
But one notable exception so far on the Republican side, Senator
John McCain, saying that, well, Trump has the power to do this.
He's disappointed in President Trump and that this just
underscores the need for a special congressional committee.
So while this certainly affects internally, how the
administration moves forward, it is like throwing gas on the fire
in terms of the congressional reaction.
One point which you just refer to the President does have the
authority to fire the FBI director for any reason
backfire. Let's back
up that a little bit. Fire he is not being emphasized very often
on the normal news shows Oh, no, yeah, because it doesn't fit in
with the narrative. You got five
Did you see live off live Ross who lives with Rex Tillerson at
the State Department.
gloating it seems to me oh, this was
beautiful. So So says they come in just to say hi. You know,
they'll clippity clop place there the doors open. They walk
in? And I everybody and then the reporter shouts Yeah. What do
you think about Comey getting fired and Lavrov does vibe he
got fired? And then the CNN response is beautiful after
that, thank you. You're kidding. You're kidding. Little, little
Russian humor. There was a joke.
That's the foreign minister, he looked back at the reporters who
were asking about the impact of James Comey his dismissal on
this meeting, saying You're kidding.
He to me? He looks really surprised.
I'm sure he was what does he do? It's all he's got to do is
follow the machinations of the who gets fired and who doesn't.
I mean, I think this is blown out of proportion. This is
domestic thing to begin with. It's not has nothing to do with
international policy necessarily. Oh, well, here's
the one. The CBS was all over this, of course, with the with
the let's say the company thesis and how it should go down. And
they they sent Elizabeth Palmer to Sochi to talk with Putin
because he was digging catch him in between matches. He's playing
hockey for ice hockey. And so they so this is
I didn't see this So is he wearing like the big shoulder
pads during the interview? When he's
coming off the ice with the big shoulder pads on? Yeah, that's
great. And she's standing there in this kind of tunnel where the
players are coming through as a game is over. And is she wearing
a parka? Is
she wearing a parka as big? Yeah, okay, perfect. Yeah.
So she's there. And he's skating off the ice with it. And she she
kind of what's missing is he doesn't skate up to her high
speeds and then stop and kick ice at her. He doesn't do that.
But he's skates off and he's comes up doing she starts asking
him questions he wants to he just almost instantly answers
the question because he understands English very well.
But but the translators stops him and makes him slow down. So
he could ask the question in Russian through the translator,
and it goes, but you can barely hear what he has to say. But
most of it is. We I don't who cares? Was there nothing to do
with me, which is what Putin keeps saying, and then this as
the report continues, they go off and they give a kind of a
weird kind of a nasty little needle to Putin, in the, in the
end of the report, when Scott Pelley comes back on his very
interesting pre trip for Elizabeth to Sochi, which is a
resort area where she can go do some skiing. And so she goes
there and this is this is it.
What happened yesterday was truly shocking.
Senate Democrats accused the president today of courting a
constitutional crisis.
He feels the dragnet tightening on the Russia investigation. I
believe that's why he's calling me go say we argued
there is now just illusion.
It's Bob. Maybe Maybe I got the wrong one. I'm sorry. What's up
Elizabeth
Palmer in Sochi?
I'm sorry. I see the problem. Okay. There's my alphabet
alphabet to alphabetize ation issue. Russian
officials have been keeping an eye on all of this, including
Vladimir Putin. Today our Elizabeth Palmer went one on one
with Putin rinkside in Sochi, Russia.
all suited up for an amateur hockey match. President Vladimir
Putin took the time to weigh in on Washington's latest scandal.
How will the firing of James Comey affect us Russia relations
then there will be no effect was was really nice, very nice.
Looks very funny for me. Being angry with them, get them when
you get bored. We have nothing to do with President Trump.
I could only hear we had nothing to do with it was hard to care
to hear.
So the only kid that doesn't finish it. So the kicker is then
it's Liz kicker.
Okay. Basically, hook it was.
Officially Putin denies Russia even has an opinion. But he's a
skilled player on the world stage as he is on the ice. As
the president scored and Sochi his Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov was chalking up a win in Washington meeting President
Trump in the Oval Office. American reporters were shut out
so it was up to the Russians to tweet this picture. And this one
with Russia's controversial Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, who
remains at the heart of the alleged collusion between the
Trump campaign and Russia's meddling in the last election.
The pictures would have pleased Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov
who, in a quiet back room at the hockey arena explained his
concern that any mention of Russia is now so toxic in
Washington, that real improvement in relations is a
long way off.
It's quite difficult for Mr. Trump to speak about willingness
to cooperate with Russia, even if it is in the interest of the
United States. What is the ridiculous part of the story?
So you're afraid he's now hemmed in.
While he's definitely under a huge pressure by those by those
who still argue his presidency by those who still cannot accept
that he's held state in the United States by those who
cannot or cannot accept, accept the fact that they have lost to
Mr. Trump,
Scott, the Russians had high hopes they would get along well
with the Trump administration, but it's all gone terribly wrong
and relations haven't been this bad since the end of the Cold
War. So they're looking for any opportunity to build on at the
moment. However, all that didn't put Mr. Putin off his game
today. He went on to score seven goals.
Not even Vladimir Putin checks Elizabeth Ballmer, Liz, thanks
very much.
Okay, so we have two jokes at The no one nobody scores seven
goals in hockey unless it's rigged you know yeah well oh my
oh I missed it I can't stop it from going in or kicking it in
and then the checks joke which is
very funny yeah well you know it's not like Obama with the mom
jeans thrown out the first pitch remember the love that was great
and Bush wasn't much better Hey, we
got it we got baseball you on the baseball team?
We we definitely have to talk about Putin but before that I
would like to personally thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you John C where the C stands for CIA is covering
up the poppies double rack

no, no, no, no. You know I remember when he first started
and we didn't pick some of his stuff and then he got around and
left and he came and went and came and went but like everybody
else who got really good and I was my original example is
always Martin JJ who when I looked back on it had been doing
pieces for years without getting picked in and all of a sudden
got a clue or something happened something changed ding and they
was hitting them one after the other to the point where he had
to go into semi retirement Wow remember that he said I can't
keep winning every week you that six or seven in a row?
Oh well it happens
anyway, but we do have a few people to thank a lot of them
actually for show nine or 289 or two eight and we start off with
our with a bigger donation from Sir on Amos $971.93 He sent a
note and every time he contributes and he I don't know
why he hasn't claimed his Baron Baron yet or anything but he
sent a note in and he his notes are always critical I get a kick
out of it.

got it yeah, he does explain for producer credit please use my
title sir on Amis of Dogpatch not sir oh Nani myths are an
anonymous as you have in the past and knows Oh 90 myths is
the opposite of an anonymous query are the two dimensions a
demand demonstration of Einstein's special relativity
theory. Special Relativity incorporates time dilation and
length contraction simply stationary clock is observed to
move more slowly than a moving clock. And objects are measured
to be shorter in the direction they are moving. Perhaps the
groups have faster clocks and shorter parts as they look at
each other but seem normal to themselves. Personally, I strive

Google Facebook and Amazon and other social media trackers for
profit, by the way, this is the guy Oh noname is who the letters
come in with no return address and then there's no stamp or
anything that would indicate what state that even came from.
The checks are just blank checks with no name and address or
nothing. And his signature is illegible Yeah, so he's very
he's very much into anonymity or own anemone as Google Fay I get
criticized for saying that as Google Facebook, Amazon and
other social media trackers for profit and for profit they
stifle free speech supporting forms with free speech as
important as means us yes, you continue to be gold. Even when I
disagree you offer uncensored perspectives that 97 is $971 for
93 equals one ounce of gold as measured in Sterling, which is
now only half a Bitcoin.
He has talked about that on the DHL plug show. I sent in the
value in dollars, you lose on the conversion just like I did
with Brexit.
Take that bitches in That was that so I'm gonna give him a car

hearing from the MSM, it seems as though we were on the brink
of another war. Based on what I saw, it could not be further
from the truth. Everyone's going about their western nice day as
if nothing's going on. Thank you for keeping us sane and helping
us realize that we don't need to worry nearly as much as we are
told to worry. We need to call out all the freeloaders that
don't donate and remind you that anytime they have used the
information from this show to their advantage, they have
received value and yet they haven't returned to likewise

200. And while I'm a knight I have let you down over this many
past years in the years that I have not donated I have spent
many 1000s of dollars on alcohol weed and hallucinogens. So it is
high time no pun intended that I make a donation to the best
podcast in the universe.
I'm I'm a little conflicted here. Keep up the great
work and thank you both for your dedication and hard work

I was watching it last night. But early last night, I had been
looking for it for a long time. And I finally found it on
YouTube the full two hour and 15 minute Adam Curtis documentary.
Hyper normalization. Hyper normalization.
Okay, fantastic. Now his stuff is outrageous.
I mean, it's bbcc got to always keep that in the back of your
mind. But when he's, he's kind of left to his own devices. He
explained a lot about Libya and Syria, and really how it all fit
together with Kissinger and it was a lot of Battlefield and a
lot of holes for me. Particularly, it's really
interesting how Syria, Assad's dad, who is accused of being a
horrible evil dictator, yeah, he killed a lot of people. But he
did that after he got screwed. He was really trying to make the
Arab world you know, unified, at least according to the
documentary. And that's why he got all bitter and said, Screw
it, I'm gonna kill everybody kind of that idea. And then how
Gadhafi was just marginalized and completely, just, it's well
worth watching. Well,
you know, all he does is he spends all his time in the
archives, the film archives of the BBC, which go way back,
filming audio, and he just develops a thesis based on
watching stuff and he's really good.
I'm gonna watch it again. I got through half of it and I'm gonna
watch again tonight with with Tina. She got to see this is
really good.

I have predominantly been exposed to the left right
brainwashing paradigm and the mainstream mainstream media,
learning how to simultaneously remove that conditioning. The
conditioned emotional response to the news while applying some
critical thinking skills is truly life changing. And as
turned out to be one of the most valuable lessons I have been
able to share with my children. You're welcome. Sunday is also
Mother's Day. So my wife Amy hated your show when I first
discovered it several years ago. To be fair, she is a music
listener. So she hates all the podcasts that I listen to. So I
set out on a mission to hit her in the mouth every evening while
she was lying in bed. I would take my shower with your show
playing in the adjoining bathroom. She was forced to
listen just a bit at a time. After several weeks. I started
to hear comments when I turned the show off like Hey, I was
listening to that. Now she listened to every show, and was
one that suggested this donate been listening to and disgusting
no agenda has helped our marriage and given me yet
another reason to be grateful for your show. So happy birthday
to my son Happy Mother's Day to my wife. Here's 200 bucks toward
a knighthood, and $50 to start my wife on her way to becoming a
dame my 17th birthday should be weighted more than an annual
Mother's Day. Right? Right. I'd love to hear the following

Finally, this donation is made in honor of Jim Comey agree with
Trump's decision or not. It's clear to me that Comey did what
he thought was the right thing to do given the circumstances
and I hope our country gets more out of his leadership at some
point. Your show is more important than ever, with all
the insane speculative narratives flying around as
fact. Particularly the firing Comey is clear evidence of a
cover up narrative. John, you're a level headed witty insightful
Grump. Adam, you're a gentleman and a scholar who knows how to
run a podcast damn well. Side note, let the grump do what he
does best and stop yelling at him. Love you both. Could you
play me any pro Comey clip you have?
Pro Comey? I have one short
I don't want a door. I don't want a window. I don't want a
sliding glass door. I would like people to comply with court
orders and that's the conversation we're trying to

what happened. You got pushed in here. Right. I remember this
note coming in. By the way late. It came in at three in the
morning the next day. The show's done more than an excellent job
lately, having me laugh out loud regularly. I was surprised to
see donations at such poor levels last Thursday, time to
step up and support the best podcast in the multiverse. Why?
Because Because like Adam puts it, I pay for my entertainment.
You get a lot of mileage out of that. And it triggered three of
my co workers who listen all the time but somehow never hear
their names in the donation segment. Let's call them out as
douchebags. All right.
I'm sorry. Yes.

producers for the show. And this will be a lot of them. And we
want to thank them all for helping us carry the show on to

No one really cares. Moms isn't a raw deal this year. I don't
know is
it 140 appears to be it and is very few. I glad to hear all the
donations but the mothers didn't I blame
this on Comey. You have to understand that the news media
always has a Mother's Day packages good to go. But they're
just running out of time. They don't have the time for the
human interest. It's all got to be Comey. Comey, Comey Trump,

Okay, let me tell you what's going on. Let me just say what's
going on.
Okay, what's going on? Okay.
So at the beginning of the donation segment, even before
that, I go to the archive to see what art was used. I don't
always write that down and what the title of the episode was.
And as the page loads, I see that the player is failing to
load the mp3 file. Just notice that. So we're now in the
donation segment with jingles to search for it turns out that one
of our very important domains has expired two days ago. And,
and the reason why I didn't know about it, well, the whole bunch
of reasons, but I didn't get a notification, not one I saw. So
I'm like okay, now I have to figure out where I got to renew
this because we have to upload the show and everything should
be working. So I'm with Void zero and so bemrose there in the
back channel, they're like that's like, just renew it.
Well, yeah. But it's it's your information. And of course, I've
changed my credit card address. So it was he got it a declined
failed, whatever. So, okay, here's here's
what you're telling me. Hold on. You're doing this while I'm
throwing random requests for jingles that yes,
yes. Wow. Yes. And it gets worse. Breasts it gets worse. It
keeps getting any failed. It didn't say to clients has
failed. So then I like a one. Okay, I log in. I can pay with
PayPal. Good. I use the no agenda. PayPal failed. I use my
personal PayPal fail. I'm going through this while you're we're
throwing out you'll never get these clips. So thanks. Anyway,
I think we I think we've sorted it out. But it was right. I'm
sweating.
That's great. Not really, I have no idea how good you are. Or I
didn't. Yes, it would fax back. Honestly,
a little bit of a bit of more about this Russia thing, just a
few things a couple of state
camps learn more Comey clip. Okay, well Do one more Comey
clip. This was just a clip of the the mania the really hate
the Trump hatred thing going on to an extreme. This was Tim
Kaine was brought and PBS I mean,
the former vice presidential candidates along with him, he
obviously
hates Trump. And he comes on, which is just nonsense. And I
found it. I mean, Judy tried to as this, you know, point out
that it was bull crap, what he was saying, but the most
egregious ones where I cut it off, and then I will make a
comment, and then we're gone on. From there.
on Capitol Hill, we have heard serious concerns raised by some
Republicans and calls from Democrats for a special counsel
to investigate the Russia story. We get reaction out of Mr.
Trump's firing of James Comey from Hillary Clinton's vice
presidential nominee. He's the Democratic senator from the
state of Virginia. Tim Kaine, Senator Kaine, thank you very
much for joining us. Glad to Judy, you called the firing of
Director Comey outrageous why?
I think this is a clear attempt by President Trump to thwart and
block and undermine the investigation into collusion and
ties between Russia and the Trump campaign transition and
administration. And there is now a pattern of very extraordinary
personnel actions, the firing of Sally Yates, the firing of
General Flynn, Attorney General Sessions having to recuse
himself from the Russia investigation. And now the
firing of Jim Comey. And the thing, the thread that connects
all these highly unusual actions is the investigation into
Russia. President Trump is afraid of this. He's trying to
undermine it. And that should make us all redouble our efforts
to both on the criminal side have a special prosecutor to get
to the bottom of it. In Congress, the Senate Intel
Committee needs to accelerate the pace and get the answers we
need.
Well, Senator, I'm sure you know, the White House is saying
that that's just not the case. They are saying they had a
specific set of reasons for firing Director Comey. It had to
do with the way he handled Secretary Clinton's email
controversy. They had a different set of reasons for
asking the National Security Adviser General Flynn to leave
and so on and so on. So why are you so convinced that the Russia
investigation is is at the core of all this Judy again, let's
let's dig into the pattern. Sally Yates is the deputy ag a
career prosecutor. She goes to the White House and she says we
are worried that you're sitting national security adviser is
compromised by ties to Russia. And President Trump immediately
fires not General Flynn, he fired Sally Yates
it doesn't just instantly fire Sally Yates know
she refused to participate in the Muslim to uphold them
losing the same guys like hey, whoa, she was just trying to you
know, she was doing her moral best by not going along with his
Muslim ban. And he went on and on about and now all of a sudden
is because of this. And besides that she first reported it Flynn
was fired within two weeks.
Well hold on a second pick up dates. Hold on one second. I
have only one Yates clip and I thought it was actually quite
good. When Senator Cruz reads her the law saying hey, the
President's allowed to do this because he was hammering down on
why she actually was fired because she didn't uphold the
the executive order. Do you mind if I just play this quick? Yes,
Texas Republican
Senator Ted Cruz asked Yeates to explain why she thought it was
okay to defy the president. He quoted the statute that gives
the President authority over immigration.
Whenever the president finds that the entry of any alien or
of any class of aliens into the United States, would be
detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by
proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary,
suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as
immigrants or non immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens
any restrictions he may deem appropriate. Would you agree
that that is broad statutory authorization?
I would and I am familiar with that. And I'm also familiar with
an additional provision of the IMA that says No person shall
receive preference or be discriminated against an
issuance of a visa because of race, nationality, or place of
birth, that I believe was promulgated after the statute
that you just quoted.
And I really love this because the two things are completely
separate from you. There's a difference between State
Department rules and regulations and an executive authority. And
people were like, Oh, she just bless. No lawyer, I'm no lawyer,
but I to me, it's like that seemed pretty flimsy. Yeah, I
agree. So I have a couple of clips here and you know about
the collusion In just a lot of hate, Russia, Russia, Trump,
Russia, Trump, Trump, Trump, Russia. This is representative
Jerry Nadler, it is clear
that this was fired that the fire was because the President
didn't like the investigation or perhaps was afraid of where it
was going. And I until today, I would have said that I had
suspicions about the press about the President's campaigns
collusion with the Russians. This firing leads me to conclude
that there was collusion that the President was involved in
it, because otherwise, there is no reason the President would,
would undertake this cover up. And this is clearly part of a
cover up.
It's just unbelievable. That just making it up. I mean, I
listen. Look, Kimmy now, believe me later, it would be great for
our show. If there was this elaborate cover up, this would
be fantastic. But excuse me, Nancy Drew it. I mean, the the
reason is very expressly stated, you may not like it, you may not
believe it. But you're just in a fantasy world. If there are any
facts, this show certainly be the first to go. Oh, gotcha. By
the words, the transcripts of the Flynn, where's any of this
stuff? None of it exists.
All right, Congressman Nadler, for the record there. You are
saying that you believe because of this, the President himself
colluded with Russians ahead of election? Of course, no, no
proof of that at this point. Unless there's something you
have to show that this is just your assumption based on this
virus.
It's my assumption based on the firing is that there's no reason
why you would do that. If he didn't, if you weren't concerned
that the investigation was going to show things that he didn't
want shown. That either means that he was or people closely
were colluding with the Russians
now, please, he's even saying no, no, there's no evidence. But
it obviously means that there's evidence or that have happened
if maybe they have the movie, the ping on the bed. Oh, then
another
one. I'd love to see Oh, my goodness. Now ABC Nightline had
Cokie Roberts on and they just took this all the way to just
throw it in the kitchen sink. Every meme every night shorten
this up significantly less than a minute and a half, from
Watergate to be covered. Just
do you think the Watergate comparison is a fair one?
Yes. What we see in both situations is
how can how can it be Watergate was John, refresh our memory on
Watergate? For a moment? What happened? Exactly because no one
is it was just throwing out Watergate and half the people
were saying weren't even alive when Watergate happened.
Watergate was during the second Nixon administration where there
was some fears that the Democrats were planning some
sort of be some. And they, Nixon's people put together a
burglar team of ex CIA guys. And if you read the family of
secrets, book, they it's implied that these guys botched it on
purpose because the CIA was out to get Nixon. But the you have
to read that book. It's very interesting theory. It changes
your view on Nixon. Anyway. So Nixon put together a bunch of
burglars and they burglarized the place illegally. And I don't
know if they remember what they stole documents, but they were
caught. And then the whole thing turned into a because of the
attempted cover up. And then the discovery of tapes.
James, this is where this is where it gets interesting. And
I'm wanting to just delve into it a little bit. The tape
specifically the Watergate tapes, this is an which was
involved, you know, the recording conversations
wiretapping or not. This is somehow how it's being compared
to each other.
Yeah, and there's no there's nothing there's no comparison.
It's a very, it's a false comparison by every pretty much
every level. I mean, I just think you can compare it to a
lot of other things. I think Iran Contra would be closer. But
yes, except for the lack of the CIA. Although they may be
involved in this. You don't know. But no, it's not that they
just like throwing it out because it has a does got an
evil term. Nobody remembers what wall water gets about or who was
involved
and what was. So my grandmother at the time we were we were
living in, in the Netherlands. So this was 7273. I think
Watergate disappear yet so my grandmother would record on our
little little number those portable cassette tape players
where you had like, you know, my grandma died have a Niagara and
Niagara, Niagara, Niagara, Niagara. Now there's a Sony or
something. Have you slept is toploader slipped the cassette
and people don't know this top loader slipped the cassette and
you close you close my door. And Philips Norelco Norelco Yes,
with that shitty microphone with the switch on the side. With the
switch would always make so much noise when you turn it on and
go, which was sound like this. Okay, I'm talking now I'm going
to turn it off. And then you had to press the red button record,
or as the Dutch would say record And the play at the same time,
and that would then start the tape mechanism and would say
let's record and later of course, we use those for our Vic
20 and Commodore 60 fours different story. Wasn't there
somebody's race, the Secretary had gotten herself out. Somehow
she had her left foot on the pedal and her right foot in your
ear, her left hand could somehow accidentally.
So there was a few minutes erased. This was explained in a
movie. Oh, gosh,
that's our American history for you.
The movie was a comedy call. I think it's called dick. And I
get to name and it's a must. Unfortunately, it's it's such a
it's a reference movie. So if you weren't around during this
era, you would not have to have a clue what the jokes were.
Which is a problem with this movie, right? But it had this
moment where this happened in the movie as somebody was having
sex on the desk or someone they bumped to thing. And I never
heard that part of the story. That's No, no, this is bullcrap.
It's, it's a comedy. It's a comedy movie. And it explains it
actually explains the entire Watergate phenomenon. In some
way that makes sense because of these two cheerleaders that
showed up at the White House. And it's one of the most
interesting well constructed films ever made. Oh, another
tip. Yeah, let me get what you're talking about. Get the
name of this movie. I think it's called dick, though. Okay.
I will. That sounds familiar. Anyway, so Cokie Roberts, who
was is from that era, and I forgot to finish the story that
my grandmother would send these tapes of all the congressional
hearings, which are, which are on TV and radio all day long.
And of course, she'd send them as hey, here's the Watergate
tapes. Anyway. Here is Cokie Roberts, ABC. Nightline
Watergate
comparisons a fair one?
Yes. What we see in both situations is a president
feeling that an investigation was getting too close for
comfort, and trying to shut it down.
One key difference between now and then there was a select
committee on Watergate hearings on Capitol Hill. There were
actual tapes recorded by Nixon in the Oval Office, promising
direct proof of a cover up. And there were doggone reporters at
the Washington Post and elsewhere, piecing it all
together.
The difference now is that the only one of those checks that is
there is the press, and the President has spent a great deal
of his presidency undermining the West,
Woodward and Bernstein. But would investigative reporters
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein have had the same impact in the
era of Twitter and so called fake news?
We know there's no such thing as fake news. We live in a time
when people don't believe facts. And if we can't convince people
that Facts are facts. That's a very difficult situation.
Tonight the Senate Intel Committee issued a subpoena for
documents from General Mike Flynn assigned their
investigation of him is pressing on. Senators are also asking
questions about Trump's business dealings.
During your investigation of all things Russia. Did you ever find
a situation where a Trump business interest in Russia gave
you concern?
Senator Graham, I can't comment on that because that impacts I
think, investigation. Officials tell NBC News that the FBI is
increasingly focused on several Trump associates including
Carter Page.
Now there's something missing for Yeah, we'll get to him.
There's something missing in the comparison because Woodward and
Bernstein didn't they have deep throat?
Yes. And the movie was just called deck by the way. The Deep
Throat is accounted for by the two cheerleaders and by the way,
two cheerleaders are done. Kirsten Dunst and Michelle
Williams, the May wood playing 15 year olds. Yes, Deep Throat
was the guy who finally revealed himself a few. I think like five
years ago, I'm not mistaken as some CIA guy. retired now. All
right,
so we're missing a deep throat. We don't have a deep throat in
this. But we do have the wiretapping.
And we do have Lindsey Graham and meta speaking. Yay.
Nobody wants Lindsey Graham on the dodgeball team. Okay, this
is not happening. Rand Senator Rand Paul,
I don't leave it not only is there no evidence that Trump
administration or campaign was connected to Russia or committed
any crime, no evidence at all committing a crime. There's not
even an accusation that I know of, of what crime would have
potentially been committed. So all this breathless talk about
people. There's a lot of hypocrisy going on. Many of
these Democrats, including Chuck Schumer said they lost
confidence in Comey a long time ago, Hillary Clinton's been
blaming Comey. They should be thanking President Trump for
getting rid of Comey because he politicized something that may
well have had something to do with Hillary Clinton's law. So I
think it's a lot of crocodile tears and a lot of people saying
you know, they over getting rid of Comey to but now they're
gonna say it's all about this Russia investigation, which
hasn't produced one iota of evidence that anybody did
anything wrong or broke the
law. No, thank you. Finally, someone's speaking some truth.
And then he elaborates on the wiretapping, which we've
explained, but it's just nice to hear it from ran. And I
think some of the media have gotten this wrong when President
Trump said he was wiretapped. Of course he was we don't really do
old fashioned wiretapping. There's no wires attached to
most of our phones. Wiretapping means that you were surveilled,
someone listened by using some sort of modern technology that
really is not literally a wiretap anymore, but they did
listen to Flynn's phone call. And this is an amazing invasion
of privacy and realize what kind of world we're going to live in.
And realize the statement that Chuck Schumer said just a week
or two ago, he said, Don't mess with our intelligence community,
because they'll get your six ways to Sunday, if you do. And
Trump's making a big mistake here for using mine from one of
the people. Schumer is one of the eight people in Congress
that know everything about intelligence, when he says that
the President should be afraid of the intelligence community,
that should make us all wake up. Because what about the lesser
mortals in this country? If they decide they don't like us? What
do you think could happen to us if they had that much power? And
when you say you think you were surveilled? Do you? Do you get a
lead on that? Or is that a good feeling? Or do you just wonder,
we've had we've had two reporters call us who say they
have sources. I have not seen the sources. So I can't say one
way or another. But when I have two different reporters calling
me saying that multiple sources, saying that the Obama
administration was either unmasking or querying
presidential candidates, my ears do perk up. Not really, for my
sake, because I know I haven't done anything wrong. But really
for the American public saying that if they're doing this to
presidential candidates that can sway presidential elections
currency. We're worried about the Russian swaying an election.
What about our own intelligence community being used by the
previous administration to sway elections? That is a bombshell.
Yeah, well, I mean, of course, in each clip that we had,
yeah, he was he was also pissed. pissed about it actually pissed.
Yeah.
Yeah. Piss and of course, then they finally railroaded him out
of out of office. Well, yeah, good. Gerrymandering can't have
that.
Okay, what else? We got any? Well, I
have I have I have a quickie, if you don't mind, just a real real
quick phrase from the phrase from the chaise, which was my
phrase, which was found someone figured out where the term blood
on the moon comes from, which is something my mom would say,
Adam, or Adam Clark curry. If you do that, there'll be blood
on the moon.
And I've heard it used. I don't know what it means. He I think I
once did
well, but I have the etymology of I know where it comes from.
That's what we're waiting for.
It comes from the movie, blood on the moon with Robert
Michonne. Barbara Bel Geddes known from Dallas, I think when
there's blood on the moon death lurks in the shadows was a
Western. So my mom was pretty much saying, if you do that, I'm
going to I'm going to end you. Happy Mother's Day. Happy
Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Okay, nice.
All right. We can do some international. Yes.
I was just about to ask. I'm so tired of Trump from Dunkin,
which I'm coming home. Come, come, come, come, come, come,
come, come
come a lot of stuff is being overlooked. In fact, Deutsche
velas had been running this story for over a week. And now
it just keeps getting updated. I was gonna start with a clip
about the second guy being arrested as a Nazi plot to just
set up the immigrants as murderers. Now, now they had to
throw that clip away. Because now there's a third guy.
Excellent. So this is the German Nazi plot
update. Oh, update. Oh, German Nazi plot. Oh, yeah.
I bring confidence. Good to have you with us. He was responsible
for the hit list of people to be murdered. That is one police in
Germany are claiming tonight following the latest arrest in
the case of a suspected far right terror cell inside the
German army. authorities suspect the lieutenant helped another
officer in a plot to assassinate top politicians and then blame
refugees. This is the third arrest in the investigation so
far. Prosecutors say the names on that hit list included
Germany's president.
Their sights were set on former German President Joachim bulk as
well as on Justice Minister Heiko moss. Investigators found
their names and a list of potential targets mishandling
our candidate According to what we've discovered so far, the
three suspects were planning an attack on the life of senior
politicians and public figures committed to what the suspects
considered to be misguided refugee and immigration
policies. Ausland police officers arrested the 27 year
old Lieutenant here in KL on the border with France. The arrest
has raised concerns of a right wing terrorist cell within the
German armed forces. Investigators are searching
barracks across the country for evidence pointing to right wing
extremism or anything glorifying Germany's Nazi past
investigators believe the suspects had cooked up a
sophisticated plan to deflect attention
now once upon this settling candidness and evidence we've
uncovered
so far suggests Funko a fawn was to execute the attack himself
Hmm It goes on they go and they show a lot of
what is this about? I mean why what do we know really?
What we know is that this all stems from that I don't know we
played it a maybe two weeks ago that guy was arrested for posing
as a refugee and getting into the refugee system right
yes, I know what happened but one day
I apparently I don't know this could all be the ginned up for
all false flag boy well if it didn't work, but the idea was to
kill some of these pro immigration guys which makes
again if you think about it this doesn't really make any sense
Let's kill pro immigration guys and then blame it on immigrants
that'd be kind of cool it's like when
the when immigrants killed the people yeah killed the people
who want them in yeah
right if it was you know, in fact it the impact would be a
kill people that were against immigration and you say oh look
at these people against immigration are going to get
killed by these maniacs so that the hope this story is not very
holds no water there's no there there
well there's something there because they arrested three guys
so far and now they're looking into getting rid of a bunch of
senior officers and what they then do they show what they show
in the videos to show visiting a bunch of barracks and then they
latest is they got some you know some soldier for example Mike
collected one of his old Nazi helmets is get that funny look
at shield in the back you know they have the skirt it's kind of
like a skirt Yeah, yeah, dog know if you got one of those and
you're obviously a plotter a right wing plotter.
Did you see that video? I think I sent you the link. But that
woman with two children who goes into a shopping Mart and then
you know seems very
good. You got to put in the show notes. People need to watch this
video.
It doesn't work without without the video. But you have to you
have to. There's a couple of clips in there that could the
whole idea of what really happened you have to see the
proximity of her to these guys. And just Yeah, I tried it.
Believe me. I tried it didn't work. I mean, yeah, we have
strict rules here on the no agenda show.
Well, so this woman goes into a grocery store that she shops at
in Portland is Portland's a Portlandia stories, almost like
a scripted story. She goes in there and she's oh my god,
there's a confederate flag rug hanging on the wall that they
were selling and she never shows it in here. No, no. And so she
starts making a big fuss,
but she's doing this while filming filming that everyone in
the store saying Don't you think that's racist? That's racist
that just goes goes on and on. And then these guys like, hey,
why don't you eff off?
Yeah, get out of here. Get out of here. So she Yeah, go ahead.
And so they call her a bitch and she bitches about that for
incessantly. And then she gets back to her cursing I never
shopping here again. Nobody else should either. And then she
showed as she puts her kids in the car she's got two kids
whether they're just me rolling their eyes and crazy mom and
then they have this guy walks out of the story gets to pick up
some some cards or something. And she starts yelling at us
Don't come close. Yeah, she's a minute guys a mile away. So some
woman comes in helps her and then she's just completely
beside herself. She's
they attacked me.
They attacked me a nervous breakdown and it's a very
Portland thing. Oh,
I didn't understand definitely. Well, it's
a Portland. I mean, this. I thought it was episode of
Portlandia. I mean, that's how bad it was.
Now I understand your comment because I have never seen
Portlandia so that's why I didn't understand what you were
saying.
Oh, yeah, no Portlandia is about the insanity of the area. So I
have an abuse. Definitely watch a couple episodes. I have an
update.
Yeah, the domain is has been is now active in our DNS. Again, I
need to talk about this for a second because this is the
adverse and unintended consequences of the great
technological society we live in. You can explain what
happened and I have a huge gripe. Okay, go okay. So there
are two domains that we have hosted with one certain provider
because they provide DNS sex DNS secure. And my credit card my
personal credit card is on file and they tried to bill on May 9,
and it got declined why you Ask? Well, that's because of course,
I moved and I changed my address. And now I need to go
think about every single place my card is used. And I have to
change my address, because it will now be declined. Here's a
couple of gripes I have about that. This building is a new
development. We were lucky to get in as if no one has lived in
this in this particular apartment previously, it's
always nice. So I tried to chase I actually went through this
whole thing of changing my address at CIBC bank. And I
couldn't change it. It kept saying this address is wrong.
And I had to call Oh, it's usually one of the data bases.
Yeah, it's not in the database. Right. So for brand new
development, the Web System said, That's not possible. You
can't live there. Okay, so I finally got that updated only on
half of the stuff. But here's what really irks me. When you
move in the United States, you can feel like you can go to the
US Postal Service, which is a constitutionally
constitutionally installed agency. And I think is very
good. And you can change say, I want my mail forwarded all my
mail and you have to say if you have multiple last names, you
have to fill out more things. And it's a scam of epic
proportions that I do not understand why this is allowed
and why no one ever says anything about it. Because you
you fill in your your on the US Postal Service, say Oh, click
here, move me whatever.gov And the move me.gov And then you
fill out your information. And it never at any point is to say
hey, great. We got you confirmed you're good to go. No, you get
coupons. Oh, here, select what you don't want Best Buy a Bed
Bath and Beyond Home Depot. And you can't get out of the loop
you have to go through and you have to find way down the
bottom. No thanks. No tanks. How can the postal governmental
service be in cahoots with these eight holes who I'm trying to
get away from postal spam? They're encouraging it. And you
can it's true. It's so seamless. You don't even know what's
happening before you know it. You get coupons
into this was a.gov Yeah, yeah. Oh
yeah. Lowe's, all this stuff? Lowe's 15% off coupon a Bed Bath
and Beyond. Now, I did opt in for that one. But that's not the
point. It's a seamless. It's a seamless scam. They slip you
right into it. And I don't know who approves this. Or how do we
get on the list? Yeah, what would you like a subscription to
the no agenda show? Why not?
Yeah, that's a good point. There's somebody doing the
clearing for that stuff.
Yeah. Anyway, so we're all we're good to go. Thank you, Boyd
zero. For for rockin out there helping me out. Staying in
technology for a moment. Ah, we're back. We've debunked
imagine.
Can you imagine if you just if the EU or government agency and
you had enough power that you could just kill somebody's DNS.
Just that number is no longer valid, ever, ever
totally have that kind of power? Yeah, I can tell what's gonna
happen. Yeah, it would happen. But remember with the Silk Road?
Yeah, yeah. They weren't shutting off people's DNS left
and right. And you got a big FBI sign up. DHS? I think maybe? No,
I think it was FBI. All right, democracy. Now, democracy now
had a little bit on the sanctimoniously smug, John
Oliver, who is back again with his complete misunderstanding of
net neutrality, and its implications, because of course,
we only expect the evil government to censor us censor
the Internet, which I think really they mean, we don't want
Netflix buffering. I think that's what people are really
worried about. And John Oliver did this whole thing, if you
recall a couple of years ago about net neutrality, completely
off base completely wrong, yet heralded by everyone in the
scientific community in Silicon Valley, and certainly in
government as the best explanation ever of net
neutrality. And it's bull crap. It's total horseshit, what he is
saying, total. And I don't know if we need to go into it at all,
really, but we can highlight some of the things as we go
through. Democracy now is take on John Oliver, doing net
neutrality point, version two. And of course, Judy thinks it's
all very not Judy, what's her name? Amy. Amy thinks it's all
very funny.
Well, net neutrality is just a way of saying no discrimination.
Net Neutrality is what
I'm sorry, this was. That's not true.
No, of course, this guy is. I'm sorry. I should have mentioned
who he is. He's the CEO. Have what is the name of this outfit?
The free press, the free press. We've looked at them before.
There is a lot of Silicon Valley there a lot. Be a screw up, they
get, you can hire them as lobbyists, you hire this group.
And you can only imagine who's hired him for this, that would
be Silicon Valley.
Well, net neutrality is just a way of saying no discrimination.
Net Neutrality is what ensures that when you go online, you can
go wherever you want, do whatever you want, download
whatever you want. And it's not up to your cable company or your
the phone company to decide which websites and services are
going to work and which won't.
Is that net neutrality, John, is that what it is? God, I
hope not.
What is net neutrality then? Because this guy just spouted
off some bull?
Well, net neutrality is the idea of net neutrality is that
whatever that all bits are equal. That's in a nutshell, all
bits are equal. So whatever you ask for, from your browser, you
you whatever it is, you're going to get it at this with the same
route, you call
the same same priority priority, the same priority. That's it?
And is this efficient use of any network in the world ever?
No, no, nobody gets stupid. And why?
Why is it stupid, famous example of
my favorite examples, the following, which is that I'm
doing remote medicine. And I'm doing an operation, a very
delicate operation remotely. Yes. And I have, I have to have
a little more priority than somebody watching a YouTube
clip. Because the life and death situation is is at hand. And I
want my I want priority for my bits to do this operation over
the YouTube bits. Yeah. Yeah. What's wrong with that? No, you
can't have that neutrality. You can't do that.
Because that's stifling the free and open Internet what this is
about and you'll hear it in this clip. And I think
you're always right about this being about Netflix. It's all
about
Netflix, the big empty base bag this these.
We fought a fight. I've talked about it many times on this show
over 10 years to push the FCC to pass strong net neutrality rules
and have clear legal authority to enforce them and the Trump
FCC has really declared war on those rules. The chairman has
said he wants to say we've declared
war at war here these analogies have to stop declared war yes,
we're going to war no he didn't. The FCC just said we're getting
rid of that. I don't think there was roar
The chairman has said he wants to take a weed whacker to them
he's trying to only good rule said
that has Yeah. As heat as your whatever his name is.
He said he wants to take a weed whacker, a weed whacker to the
rules. Yes.
It's good, though. I don't know if he actually said that. That's
a good question. That's what does
everyone's claiming
you might get weed whacker to them. He's trying to undo the
rules passed at the end of Obama and the Obama administration
rules are never
put in place. Say again, those rules pass at the end of the
Obama administration were never put in place now. They were
passed those rules away. And this situation normos everything
is the way it always has been. And it never changed to the it
never changed with those Obama
and what happened to the big browser history campaign that
faded away really quick. Another rule that was put in place with
that was signed, but never never implemented. And everyone's just
forgotten about that. Now, where's the browser? I don't
know. Because it's the mean fumes. That's all people Oh,
Trump trying to kill the internet at
the end of Obama in the Obama administration, under the rules
supported by millions and millions of Americans, just to
give Comcast, Verizon and AT and T more ability to create special
fast lanes for their own content, to favor the kind of
sites and services that they own or who they're in business with,
and cut off. Competitors undermine the competition and
make it harder for independent voices to be heard. Really, Dan,
Oh,
stop me for a second. You know, the funny thing about this is,
yes, in theory, whatever he says is true. But there's no evidence
of it. No. There's a little evidence of it there. I would
say there's not none. Let's put it this way. There is a
complaint that goat floats around that Comcast refuses to
play ball. I don't know if this is still true. This from like, a
couple years ago, calm, which is during the battle was really
going Oh,
hold on. Hold on one second. I'll just the Genesis is very
important. The genesis of this problem was Reed Hastings,
whatever his name is from Netflix. And he said, Oh, hold
on a second. This is bullcrap. Why should I because it's all
about peering. And I don't think we have enough show to get into
that. But this is how the Internet was born. He said, Why
should I have to pay extra to get onto Comcast network?
Because they were saying you need to pay us extra for all
that crap you're using on our network? That's the genesis of
it.
Yes, there's that element. And it is partly the Genesis because
no one Who made the biggest fuss and everybody, it caught hold
with the tech writers, as everybody got all worked out
bent out of shape, because what was happening, which was never
discussed was that Comcast refused to use the the, the
appliances that were provided by Netflix, exhaust con, Comcast
had their own movie distribution system. And they were using,
they didn't want these Netflix appliances, why? And they were
actually being more net neutral, because the way they saw it was
that, in fact, I think the biggest and I think I'm reminded
of some of the stuff I've written, get operations like
Vudu and some of these other movie operations. Yeah, they
don't have these appliances. There's no net neutrality, it
seems to me when Netflix takes a box with I don't know, a
petabyte in it, or whatever, all their most popular material in
movies, and they drop it on at an ISP because Sonic dotnet has
one of these. And you you drop it there and you plug it in. And
as you know, it costs a little bit of the ISPs to pay a little
bit for the power that it takes to power the thing. It's not a
small box, but it gets to serve movies, direct Netflix movies
directly from the ISPs, home, the home base,
what the what was happening here, and this was I think,
besides your telemedicine example, you don't want any
government regulating starting to getting into regulation of
it. Just know because before you know it, and you remember that
we looked at these rules and was terms like illegal network
traffic would not be allowed. There's little little provisions
which meant bit torrents you can you can write that off, you know
the whole bunch of things that you really don't want, but
people are short sighted and moronic,
but off competitors undermine the competition and make it
harder for independent voices to be heard. Really,
this Oh, make it harder for independent voices to be heard.
What on face bag? Are you kidding me?
damage the amazing tools that so many political organizers have
used face bag to build social movements using the free and
open internet, no face bag. All of this is at risk. If we lose
net neutrality, though
it's at risk, John, that we can't resist. We can't resist if
we don't have net neutrality. Here's what I want you to do.
Well, I play this second clip, because you hear a bit of
Oliver's thing. I want you to go look at my tweet from this
morning. There's only two I think announcing the show. And
then one before that,
I want to turn to FCC chair Ajit pi speaking at the Newseum last
month during his speech on the future of internet regulation,
he attacked your group free press.
Consider for example, the leading special interest in
favor of title to a spectacularly Nimis named
beltway special interest called Free Press. Its co founder and
current board member makes no effort to hide the group's true
agenda. While he says that we're not at the point yet where we
can completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies.
He admits that and I quote, The ultimate goal is to get rid of
the media capitalists and the phone and cable companies and to
divest them from control.
Craig, Iran, defend yourself.
Well, I appreciate being called the leading group. Besides that,
you know, obviously this is the kind of sort of Neo McCarthyism
and red baiting that we thought we left in the past. The reality
is that free press for 10 years has fought for the free and open
Internet advocated for net neutrality. And there are 1000s
and 1000s and 1000s of pages filed at the FCC op eds
published emails sent our website is filled with content
saying exactly why we stand where we do exactly what we
want, which is actually just a free, the free and open
Internet. So if they want to go dig around the internet to find
out of context quotes, from one of my board members, I guess
that says a lot about the chairman and his priorities.
We're happy to have this fight and win on the facts.
You see the fight. And this is why I brought up the Adam Curtis
documentary, because it really focuses a lot around this, that
we are just pieces of cogs in the machine. And this case, it's
it's all connected to Silicon Valley, but it's you know, it's
Facebook, it's Google. It's Twitter, it's Reddit, but it's
also the banks that everything is connected. You know, right
down to TRW, who does your credit report and all these
things are connected and they have total control over us and
we're morons. Whoa, good. We'll just we'll dwell on the hamster
wheel keep going. These all want to protect their turf, their
entertainment base turf is what they want. Now, I thought I had
left a piece of John Oliver in there. I guess it took it out
because it's so boring. But he did this bit and he says, look
at these asshole ISPs who want to control everything. Then if
you look at the graphic, which popped up three times during the
10 minute piece, missing from the picture is spectrum slash
Time Warner who owns HBO John Oliver's own damn station. Yeah,
what a dick.
Yeah, well I agree with you. Yeah, yeah.
So everyone's evil except spectrum.
Yeah I have this Pete This is for people watch John Oliver and
like it this is kind of an interesting little post I picked
up some time back and I don't even know where it came from.
But it was one of the said from a chat that not a chat room but
a forum. I ended up pulling up an epic this guy's going on back
and forth. Subject with John Oliver came up with a colleague,
a fellow psychologist as a couple professionals. Were
discussing politics a few months ago, Laurie brought an agreement
regarding the general shit lib, Insanity or inanity of the HBO
show, my friend was surprised when I explained it, the real
insidiousness of it is unmistakably hypnotic structure
and pacing. I ended up pulling up an episode of
two of the YouTube this is an old analysis. Yeah, yeah, we
deliver it
on the show. All of the segments I've ever seen from the show
follow the same repetitive format. present some
argumentation and facts for about 10 seconds and quickly
follow these up with a snarky quip, which themselves are
overwhelming take the form of complete non sequiturs, or
otherwise absurd metaphors, before any rational processing
of the preceding argument can take place in the mind of the
viewer. Further telling is that the only beats or mental pauses
in the show's pacing exists solely to highlight the
approving laughter or applause of the studio audience. Repeat
this basic formula without variation 20 to 40 times in a
row, and you have one of the 12 to 20 minute segments that
formed the backbone of the show. The end effect is obviously not
to deliver information, but rather to literally teach the
viewers on a subconscious level to mentally associate derisive
laughter with any person or opinion that is at odds with the
narratives take on the chosen issue. And it's accomplished
this by maintaining a strict adherence to a roughly 22nd
cycle, which is a stimulus would in which the stimulus is
presented and a responses
cue. It's like doing a line of coke every 20 seconds.
This is this In this sense, is this it? This is the sense in
which the show is fundamentally fundamentally hypnotic, in
effect, even more so than as precursors in the genre. Daily
Show Cole bear, et cetera. Yep. And that's what he does. He just
prints him up, then he has some crazy metaphor, and everyone
laughs because you know, and then he goes back and and back
and forth, and back and forth.
Holster idea.
Yeah, but that's Yeah, yeah. But that that's not as structured as
as Goldberg stuff is not structured
like this. I agree. I agree.
These bits when you look at any one of them that all ever does.
They're extremely structured.
They're two stories about the one about this. And another one,
both about the people have no idea what's happening in the
world around them when it comes to technology. So Oliver said,
Hey, everybody, go flood the FCCs website and tell him that
you want net neutrality, so he has a call to action. Some other
group, which I'm going to think is maybe not individuals, who
knows, decided they were going to use, they're going to
inundate with basically a kind of a denial of service attack
almost. They're flooding the FCC websites with get rid of your
dumb dumb regulations that using VPNs you know, and so now is a
while Wait a minute, this is not fair. I was like, come on. This
is like the Podcast Awards all over again. Are you kidding me?
You know, you don't know how this works? It turns out no.
Because the same thing is happening with billboards music
chart. Now billboard what's left of it? They calculate their
chart. They're hot 100 To a large extent, based on money
transactions, which is streams played. So the diehard Harry
Styles, music fans, Harry Styles, I think was from some
boy bands get the name. Yeah, like get to get the name boy
band. He was on one of the shows the other night. And so now
they're using
VPN, because he's run off with a blogger. And now
they're using VPNs everywhere, to to stream his song 1000s of
hours to get it to go up the charts. One Direction that was
the name of it and One Direction. Yeah. So you know,
and of course, billboards like, Oh, yes, we have technology to
combat that. No, you don't. You don't you have no technology to
combat that. You know, it's my favorite grep Yeah, every VPN
that that you know, just a whole bunch of grep pipes all one
after another and out pops a list of troops. But you know,
people have no idea what is going to happen to them. I'm
very, very bearish on the whole connected economy thing.
Yeah, well, I'm not gonna take the other side. No,
I wouldn't if I were you because there's plenty of evidence This
won't end well.
Well, that's coming sooner than later when the bond collapse
happens.
I did have this little tidbit I picked up from RT
humanity birthed the internet only a few decades ago. And we
still have yet to understand what we just did. Just like when
we flipped on the lights for the first time, we have no idea what
we just brought. What we do know so far about the internet,
though is that it's changing everything. And according to
Magna and ad buying agency owned by the Interpublic Group, the
internet is wreaking havoc on the television industry. They
assert that TV ratings have dropped a whopping 33% In the
last four years, which is not. And in the current TV season,
our big networks have lost 8% of their audience. So fewer viewers
than ever are tuning in to the idiot box. instead choosing to
tune into the internet, whatever kind of idiot box that'll turn
out to be. And not only are people tuning out in droves, but
also according to Magna ad prices have risen about 20%
During that same period. So the TV industry is demanding more
money from advertisers while offering fewer eyeballs to see
their ads, which is a bad deal for advertisers obviously. So
now they're starting to buy fewer ads. And as a result, ad
sales in the US TV market are now beginning to slump. And
that's a big deal because advertisers keep the idiot box
alive. That's who pays for all the shows corporations who make
ads to brainwash people into buying the crap during
commercials. And now they're starting to not want to pay for
those ads, which means that the TV industry looks like it's
going to be the next victim of the internet
it's been in a very slow motion collapse and that's predicted
even though I heart is I Heart Radio is formerly Clear Channel
your channel right thank you bought out by Mitt Romney's
company, Bain Capital. saddled with 24 billion in debt. We
don't know how they're gonna do But Ms. Who also own a lot of
radio stations. They were selling off radio stations this
week, one after another. Just boom, stock was going crazy.
It's probably not a bad time to dump them because there's not
the price of radio stations has not completely collapsed. Right.
But they're getting now why they can
but I've been doing a lot of interviews on podcasts in the
past week or two because they were launched you have Yeah, I'm
launching my podcast. probox
So what podcasts have you been on?
I've been on some Dutch podcasts.
I've
been on. Todd Cochran from blueberry. Been on the podcast
pickle guy Gary.
The podcast pickle Yeah, the
podcast pickle guy he does the Podcast Movement.
Okay, yeah. And
so you know, and every single one of them all talk wanted had
you know, there's no agendas value for value. This is really
incredible in there. Everyone's starting to see the light
especially now with the youtubers not getting any more
money because hey, it was only a matter of time before the
advertisers woke up and said, Hey, we live in a new world. You
can't put that next to anything edgy?
Yeah, they finally got the clue about brand brand safe. Yeah,
brand safe content. Yeah, you can't do that. It seems it said
and or you say something funky. And then people go after your
advertisers. Right? It's not the way to do it anymore. You can't
monetize the open network. It just doesn't work. It's my
mantra. And and people are seeing that look at look at it's
failing. Now advertise. I'm not against advertising advertising
works in many different scenarios. And they enjoy it
often. But don't tell me like you've got some secret great
formula is working out well, but living on it. No, no, no, no.
You're always somebody's bitch. And if I want to be anyone's
bitch, it's our producers.
I'm going to show my school by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun

flights you can fly all over the place it really doesn't cost a
lot you can get to Detroit for very little money for example

Bree was good
as I have a number of SJW BLM LGBTQ Q AP stories we could
handle
well I have some actual news I want to get out of the way Damn
okay. You and your because this news Yes, I mean the news news
that you will not hear in this country at all ever. And this
one in particular to Jakarta blasphemy case is going on
the governor of the Indonesian capital Jakarta and has been
found guilty of blasphemy Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, who was
Christian received a two year jail term now it's a much
harsher punishment that prosecutors had called for. The
trial was widely seen as a test of religious tolerance in the
Muslim majority country. Reactions there have been
sharply divided.
shocked and angry protesters shout for the release of
Jakarta's Christian former governor Suki Tjahaja Purnama,
also known as a hawk was convicted of insulting Islam by
quoting a verse from the Quran in a critique of a Muslim
political opponent. His supporters insist the conviction
is a miscarriage of justice.
We're disappointed that the law is blind can no longer tell
between right and wrong. A hawk has sacrificed being governor
and we accepted that now he's innocent. get accused of
blasphemy. We're disappointed in a law in Indonesia
put a nama was Jakarta's first non Muslim governor and half a
century. The court sentence is harsher than many expected,
sparking concerns about growing religious intolerance in
Indonesia. minorities, including Christians have been
increasingly targeted. Outside the courtroom. conservative
Muslim group said put a nama should be punished even more
harshly for his comments.
A few years is very lenient, in my opinion for Purnama helps
India compared to the pain of Muslims and the sacrifices made
by Muslims, including the nation that was almost wrecked by the
crime of the last summer.
1000s of police officers were deployed to prevent clashes
between critics and supporters of Putnam. The former governor
says he will appeal the verdict
now what exactly did he do?
Well don't forget it almost brought down the government
country. Great crime. Okay, I had the diverse curiously,
wait a minute, you're gonna you're gonna repeat the same
thing that almost brought down Indonesia on the
almost brought him down, it says great pain to them. Well,
you're gonna you're gonna, you're gonna repeat that here on
this show putting our show at risk.
I don't think he's going to put the show at much risk. So here's
what he did. The guy is running against him. He is the guy who
ran the place Jakarta. And so the guy started throwing the
Koran at the voters because it places largely Muslim and they
had to obey this one. And so He repeated it himself, criticizing
the guy for using it. Oh, you who have believed do not take
the Jews and Christians this is five, five colon five. I'm
sorry, five colon 52. You guys can look it up in some of the
Quran, Allah Kareem do not take the Jews and Christians as
allies. They are in fact allies of one another. And whoever is
an ally to them among you, then indeed, is one of them. Indeed,
Allah Allah guides, not the wrong doing people. So what he
said was that the guy the guy running so say you're a good
Muslim, and he started you know, he would read these kinds of
things. There's a lot of anti Christian anti Jewish stuff in
the Koran if anyone wants to read it. No, it does. And they
were using that as says leverage to get to win the vote. And so
the this guy reads from the Koran, which I guess it using it
against the guy using the Koran, I guess as a weapon was the
Blasphemy That almost brought down the country? Oh,
interesting.
Ha Now you wouldn't hear that. And this brings me back to that
Curtis documentary, where you show that the whole idea of
Sharia law and suicide bombing as suicide is expressly
forbidden in the Quran that it was Ayatollah Khomeini, the
Supreme Leader of Iran, who started with this and said, hey,
you know what, it's okay now. And they and they started by I
think they would they took young boys into Afghanistan to walk
across the minefield to blow themselves up so the Iranian
army could then run through it. Yeah, services. Holy moly.
Cheap. Yeah. But why not? Why not use the girls Why use the
boys is nuts. Well, yeah, well, there's that
so anyway, so there's a story that won't be you know, that's
that's really good. That's it will never show up in American
media because we're hanging our shades. It's a bad lives. It
puts a bad light on the Muslims and we're not like that anyway.
So we
made a huge mistake. We are guilty of huge cultural
appropriation. I feel extremely bad about it. You probably
feel worse about it than I do.
We have We appropriated Mexican culture. By celebrating Cinco de
Maya with money, no less. I mean, this is what is actually
what is Cinco de Mayo. Why What Why did the Mexican celebrated
Cinco de Mayo was the Battle of Puebla, which is the first time
the Mexican army beat that beat back the French army, which was
planted in Mexico to take over the southern parts of the United
States, if you want to really look at it from an old
conspiracy, the British are gonna get the top half of the
United States and the British and the French are getting at
the bottom half of the United States, which they used to own
had big pieces of, and that was the idea because it was assumed
by the Europeans that that the United States would be split in
half permanently, and then it could easily be overtaken by the
influences of the French and the British and they could also get
the gold in California, which is what they were after.
Okay, this is good. In other words, we as mercans have plenty
of reason to celebrate Cinco de Maya whether it's a Mexican
celebration or not because they say more reason because saved
our ass
we say duress I didn't really save anybody's asked but they
did a good job of of winning this one battle the
battle isn't everyone like that? Meaning you might have armpit
hair. Come on. There you go. It's possible.
Well, you sir because because you know the history would be
allowed to wear a colorful poncho on Cinco Demayo in
celebration however, if you're just some crazy white dude,
roaming around the streets having a good time you like we
do with St. Patrick's Day You know, I'm not I'm not Irish but
green beer renown. We drink beer repute green, you know, the
Chicago River. It's all cultural appropriation as witness to
social justice warriors attack a young man who's quite calm
actually. It was really like what is going on here? He's
wearing a poncho and Cinco de Maya was celebrating in the
streets like everybody else, but no racist.
I'm telling me with my goal. I am not making a racial
statement. I'm celebrating a holiday and having fun telling
you that this is not for everyone. Every person every
color, no matter what they are, I'm having fun. I'm celebrating
and I'm telling you that this is not the appropriate way to
celebrate the holidays that too far and I think you're making
too big of a deal out of it. So I hope how you feel you feel
about it because you're not a part of that. I hope we can
agree to disagree. On being peaceful, I'm not offending
anybody. So I tell you why that's funny because family
actually affects people's lives. I don't think you understand.
You perpetuating the stereotype? It's not just it's about you as
a man right? A white man No, wait, what's happening in our
country right now?
Was this celebrating?
No, I'm a college even know what the holiday means. Can you tell
me the history? I'm here.
You get the idea. It's just insane.
is great.
Coming up in in about a month live in about five weeks. You
have the Big Gay Pride or I'm sorry. Oh, wow. The pride you
just said it's called Pride. Pride. You said Big Gay is a big
gay pride parade is what I want to say wrong. pride that we have
pride coming up at San Francisco gay
and involved in this anymore. Right?
LGBT BB keep up the whole thing. So but the gay community should
be gay. Yeah, the LGBT the LGBTQ Qi AP community has See a memo?
Oh, two straight allies. That will be us, John. We're allies
of the gays
that I'm not an enemy. I live in the San Francisco Bay area. I
better be an ally.
Okay, well, you better adhere to these six rules.
I will follow the rules that would to the letter. Dear
straight allies,
please don't come to pride until you've understood these six
things. A ready be careful, John. Okay. We hold pride each
summer to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969. The
first right? Well, here it is the first Pride was a police
riot. At the time most states had laws banning LGBT people
from assembling in groups to stop being illegal. The mob
opened LGBT bars to profit off the open discrimination of our
community. The bars were the only safe space for LGBT people
and were frequently raided by police officers looking for
bribes and I think blowjobs tired of harassment and
discrimination. The patrons of the Stonewall protested began a
series of actions that turned into several days of riots. At
its peak, more than 1000 people took the streets of Greenwich
Village in one of the first organized displays of LGBT
protest. The most transgender patrons of color at the
Stonewall are the mostly transgender patrons of color at
the Stonewall are credited with starting the LGBT civil rights
movement. So you'll see sequins rainbows Parade Floats pool
party sponsored by absolute, but understand that pride is equal
parts a celebration of protests and a community building event.
It's the one time a year and we can come together and be
surrounded by the family we choose. Because our bodies and
our identities are still policed by the government, religious
groups and even the people we love. We reserve pride as the
opportunity to express ourselves in the way that is most
authentic to our community. Sometimes that's by drunkenly
singing Robin songs at the top of our lungs. And sometimes it's
by crying during the eulogy for our murdered trans sisters.
We're allowed to have multiple feelings simultaneously as we
celebrate our wins and mourn our losses as a community. So you
remember that?
Can I ask you a question, please? The San Francisco pride
parade will take place in June 24 through 25th The Stonewall
riots were on June 28. This doesn't sound like much of a
match.
Maybe it's not a good day made the need to do the weekend. at
Queen's the Kings Day isn't on kid the King's birthday any day
and that's okay. I'm okay with that. But this is this is one
for you to vorak
The 28th is a Sunday. Oh no, I'm sorry. I'm looking at the wrong
month. Okay, maybe that's the reason number two is Bucha.
Kinda that time.
Number two. A dyke bar during Pride is not the place to look
for your unicorn. This apparently is egregious, as they
don't know what it what they're talking about as a femme
presenting queer woman has been hit on by cisgender men and
couples in queer settings more times than I can count. Some
queer women are attracted to men, some aren't. We go to LGBT
spaces to be around other LGBT people and celebrate our
identity with people who are like us. Sure, there may be
that discriminatory kind of,
well, you can you can join but you can't do this. Sure, there
may be people who are interested in your advances, but there will
also be people who will be offended and made to feel
unsafe. Pride should first and foremost be a safe space for
LGBT people. Keep this in mind and consider arranging your men
Nadja tois with folks who say they're interested online before
the events, so don't try and go pick up the bisexual women for
the threesome.
Do not I don't think that's going to happen anyway. I don't
think so either number three and by the way, these threesomes
don't aren't that common but anyway go on.
And I hear they're overrated go on. And number three do not take
pictures or snaps of us without permission. Now this this is a
tough one. This is why pa Oh
say that that's right but you go you're parading down the street
and you can't isn't a parade for taking pictures. You're going
to see leather folks, drag performers, transgender people
non non binary people Nick ignition lists, neck nakedness,
gender fuckery and some wild outfits. We're not here to be a
spectacle for you. Were here. We're here to celebrate with
folks who are like us. Don't post photos of us on social
media as a way to be edgy, or to show your superior open
mindedness. And don't make fun of us on the internet. We don't
exist for your amusement.
Okay, ready for
number four?
By the way, that last one number three. Yeah, ain't gonna happen.
Going.
There it is. Number four. If your thought process is quote,
gays are okay, but I don't get the whole trans thing. Don't
come to pride.
That's interesting. Yeah,
maybe you want to go learn about it. Possible. Now this one I
agree with number five.
So there's gonna be a lot of guys out Okay, I go on.
Now just just write down the rules and follow them. Don't I'm
not right. Pride is not the appropriate venue for your girls
night, your bachelorette party or your misogyny. And I agree
with this. I see this.
So now I have to assume by that particular edict that a lot of
that's going on.
Yes, I think this is going on. Lots of straight women have told
me they love going to gay bars because they can dance and
celebrate without the presence of commands from men. I've seen
drunken sorority girls climb on stage and attempt to make the
show about them. I've seen women get a bit too intoxicated and
attempt to make out or grope gay men slurring gay fell doesn't
count that's a good one by the way, you're gay so it doesn't
count. I've seen equally disgusting accurate actions with
gay men and lesbians. So let's not pretend sting sorority girls
Yes, I just happens this happens. This happens. This
happens anyway. Six in the final one there. You're a guest in our
space act accordingly.
City property seems to me Isn't it
the important takeaway here the important takeaway here is not
that LGBT people hate straight or sis folks it's they do from
that list seems like it not even about the presence of straight
or sis folks at Pride in general they really don't want us there.
It's about when straight or sis folks behave in inappropriate
and sis folks sis folk I'm gonna Cisco behave in inappropriate
and culturally insensitive ways that threaten or dampen the
experiences of LGBT people at events that are made for us in
the first place. Straight slashed his folks can go to any
party and feel comfortable dancing, holding hands and
making out with their significant other or haughty of
the night without feeling they could be in danger because of
their identity. LGBT people do not always have that luxury if
you choose to go to pride, be supportive, observe and
participate in activities but don't try to be the focus of the
event. And there's a lot there's a lot so really the way I read
this is there's a huge I just know your presumption there's a
I guess they feel like people are trying to appropriate gay
culture Hello, there you go. I just appropriate gay culture.
But just by doing that alone, right there that but that gay
culture is very important. It I mean, surely it apparently
should stay 3030 years after two snaps and a Z formation come on
that has influenced culture to the extreme, but we can't do
that now because we're appropriating your culture. And
who are you to tell me how I celebrate my sexuality. Maybe
I'm one of you and don't want to tell. You know, there's a whole
bunch of things. It's fucked. It is and spat and I'm disappointed
in this alright, the list. I'm sure these people don't
represent the whole LGBTQ Qi AP community or its allies.
But these are the uptight gays.
It's it's this is this is not American. What you're doing
right here. We know how to party with gays. We're good at it. We
like it. It's the one time when the SIS folks get to be you
know, crazy like you. I think we're secretly a little envious.
I don't even go to the event. Come on too much traffic
problems. You can't get over. You can't get back. Forget it.
Okay, well, same line. i Okay. I have one more shot another gay
thing. Another social justice. Oh, something
something that affects? Well, social justice. And that's
something that affects us. There was a Supreme Court, Tennessee
Supreme Court case about same as same sex divorce. And so when it
came to the so one of the women had gotten artificial
insemination. And so they came they came but I'm just
paraphrase. It came down to a custody battle. And at a certain
point came the equivalency of the husband and role. So because
in divorce and with kind custody rights, is very clear between a
man and a woman, but not so between two people the same
gender. And now the Knox County judge granted one of the women
the rights of a husband. Which means, you know, that's the
thing that can be given away, and anyone can be it. So you
know, what I'm saying is, it's really weird.
They don't know they gotta do something. You have to base it
on the laws that are in that area.
Yeah, but how can you grant a woman the rights of a husband?
Well,
did she want to be the husband? Well, she
said that she performed as a husband. Okay, then she
gets she gets the rights. I mean, that's what she wanted.
And that's what the I don't see what the problem is. All right.
I just want to make sure that we all know what's happening here.
So it's a little mind meld it. I mean, why does it even have to
be based on that at all?
Well, that's the question. That's a that's a sociological
issue. Not a legal issue what you just said,
Okay. Europe,
Betsy DeVos. She gives a speech and she gets booed. And then the
slave they get in the way, then they do a shut up slave moment
and everyone shuts up.
Dr. Jackson, Board of Trustees. Thank you so very, very much for
this great honor and privilege. I am honored to become a Wildcat
Daytona Beach, Florida many graduating students booed or
turned their backs on Education Secretary Betsy DeVos versus she
spoke today at Bethune Cookman University in February DeVos
said such historically black schools were pioneers in school
choice. She later acknowledged they were established because
African Americans were banned from many colleges. At one point
the University President warned the crowd that if the bullying
continued their degrees would be mailed to them. After that,
boy and this was a black college. Yeah, small black
college fabulous way to go. Way to go everybody. We have never
been so divided as as a universe.
Well, they're doing it on purpose.
Yes, they are. Damn. And I'm not going to get to my crazy Trump
thing again.
I have one kind of a crazy clip. All right,
this will be the last one so make it count.
This is how long is it? This clip is a little long. I'll save
this for the next show. I get the no fly zone thing. Oh, I was
watching the play the VW dividend it is a great way to
get around a problem when your stock is collapsing because
you're getting these billions of dollars in fines because of the
diesel gate.
He said he would ask the board to increase the company's
dividend this year from 11 cents to two euros per share. VW
pouring out 20% of its profits in the future that could even
reach 30% It's some comfort to
wow did the stock spike did it go crazy on that news?
Well, that's great news. It's definitely Yeah, didn't go down.
So the reason I was getting hammered just because I was
watching dw and they brought back to Lena, your buddy Halina
Humphrey. Oh, okay. So when I get all bent out of shape,
because we were commenting on her appearance as as TV
executives, so she's verified on Twitter. So she's she's a big
deal.
Yeah, well, she was following me. I noticed so I've followed
her back. She follows me she follows me so I was watching. I
was watching your latest stuff and she's she got like these
she's got these huge you got a mouth. It's very similar to Anne
Hathaway, big luxurious lips. I think it's part of her
attraction. And I noticed that she was just standing in the
dress anymore. She was did some standing but it was in pants.
Oh, no, no, she she heard our show and was like, I'm not gonna
dress like that anymore. I'm wearing pants now. Well, no,
she's
still wearing that those dresses because but she's sitting behind
the thing. Maybe a little bit. Although I looked at some of her
feed on Twitter and she has stood a couple of times. She's
smacking her lips. No, I don't think no, that would be no she
doesn't smack her lips like a lot of these if the guy who was
the the anchor on DW really smacks his lips a lot.
Did you have anything from how long or is? Uh,
no. I tried to find something but you know, she's been very
wow, I don't have anything. That's all right. That is
Helena. Helena. That's what I mean. Hello.
Everybody. Okay, let's see what happens today and being show day
always something cooler crazy. That could go down. We
appreciate the firing in between shows. That was good. That was
much easier for us. Yes. So keep this timing up. Everybody was
good.
