Put on your seatbelt get back here state's lady, Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak,
Sunday, June 11 2017. This is your award winning game Oh
nation media assassination episode nine or three, seven.
This is no agenda. battling the algos of giving donation and
broadcasting live from the darkest corners been out here in
the capital, the drone Star State in the communio in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we asked the question is l
go? Or Al Gore? I'm John C. Dvorak. Hill.
Well, the essential question is, doesn't make a difference.
l l go go Al Gore. Maybe Al Gore, should l go?
Oh, that's a good one. I like that. Al Gore. Algo. Yes. Very
nice. In the morning to you, sir. In the morning to you.
How's everything going there? And how was the weather laying?
They
said again? I'll really weird. Ah, very well. We have a lot of
good news. None of it good. I mean, oh,
I have a lot. There's just a lot of news. Yeah, that's a lot of
news.
We got the British thing, which I have a good I have finally
figured out the mechanism. Well, let's start with that. Let's
start with a British thing that you want. Well, I've been trying
to figure out exactly what it was that happened that, you
know, that they couldn't foresee. But then I realized
that they could have foreseen it. And it's all kind of
explained, but we're discussing here the British election, The
snap election that I would say, I don't know if you'd call her
an idiot, but Theresa May decided to have so she can
consolidate her power even though she has a majority and
they were running things. But she's gonna she wanted more.
She's got greedy.
They had a very narrow margin when the last election Do they
not have to have three they had the majority of the narrows
narrow, wasn't
loose knit, well was a it was narrow. But then once you get to
that certain point, 326 Yeah, you you end up and run the
coalition. Emilia just
just briefly explained, a lot of people don't understand the
parliamentary system, certainly not Americans, because it's new,
we have a two party system, there is no independent to
anything else. So you can have as many parties as you want, and
you have to have very much like the electoral college in the
United States, you have to have an at least the majority that's
326 in order to govern, and if neither no party has it, then
you got to put a coalition together.
Right What extra Yeah, it looks like they're gonna get the dupes
that Brown, Northern Ireland, duper
Duff. I don't know what it is
dupe, that's the democratic stir party in this party Unionist
Democratic Unionist Party, which is a bunch of Presbyterians that
seem to be running the place and they are formed Brexit although
this is kind of interesting. There seems to be if you listen
to enough news reports, which I ended up doing, there's a bunch
of people that say they're against Brexit and then a bunch
of say they're for Brexit. I think they're for Brexit, but
aren't they all against gays? They're against gays. Well,
they're not against gays per se. I think that's what they like to
portray. They're against gay marriage. Okay. Which nowadays
if you're against gay marriage or against gays, right, and
they're very conservative.
So there I have some great gay stuff coming up later on for
you. I can imagine Oh, you will love it.
So let's start with this one British election. This is the P
this is the British election in a nutshell PBS but demonstrated
wearing a mask laid flowers on a mock grave amid rising calls for
the Prime Minister to resign. Labour leader Corbin led the
charge
was her campaign. It was her decision to call the election.
It was her name out there and she was saying she was doing it
to bring about strong and stable government. Well, this morning
it doesn't look like a strong government. It doesn't look like
a stable government. It doesn't look like a government that has
any program whatsoever.
Corbin success came in part from cooperating with the grassroots
campaign organization momentum, which took advice from Bernie
Sanders volunteers. Adam Klug is a national organizer.
You build up relationships with people on the doorstep, you
listen to them. You communicate your ideas effectively, and help
train people on persuading people of why
trading persuading, not trading, persuading, um. So
why Labour's policies made sense. That means opponents
aren't the only ones questioning her role is a Conservative
Member of Parliament.
This is a very bad moment for the Conservative Party and we
need to take stock and our leader needs to take stock as
well.
Yes, take stock stock telling
that by the way, a couple of things about that that clip
whenever they said they had a mock grave, yeah. And they had
somebody dressed up as the you know, Uncle Sam Yes as death. Oh
and my grave and the my grave was it didn't have Teresa's
maiden name on it and had Brexit. Okay, well I bring that
they didn't want to say anything about that. But this is
something of a Brexit redo.
This is a done deal. Is this a done deal? The with the the dubs
the dumps?
Yeah, the Dubs,
that's a done deal. It'd be interesting. It'd be very big.
It's
a done deal, because the dupes had come out publicly and said,
yeah, they're all in because they
actually will have a lot of power because they'll have the
the final the deciding votes and stuff in in many cases won't
that. Well, yeah,
but I don't think it's going to I don't think it's going to be
as big a deal as a lot of people like to make it out to be
well, let's go oh, if we're not in M five M media. Gotta make it
a big deal. If you're doing that.
Play Theresa May campaign take down this was a good good little
clip.
Okay, all right. She has been
criticized for running a lackluster campaign was marked
by a proposal to force elderly people to pay more for their
care and a decision to skip a televised debate. Then came the
terror attacks in Manchester and London, which refocus the race
on security and Mays role in cutting police ranks.
And so they're gonna blame the terrorism on on her now because
she cut the the funding to the to the London Police.
This is the clip that we had the last show that I was befuddled
by where it were the Mayor of London who is now slated to
become the next head of the Labour Party. The Mayor of
London us kept harping on on this Sunday. And I said why is
it what is it he blamed the Home Secretary? Why why Mae Mae Mae,
yes. If it was a political Yes, yeah. So that that
way. So you're telling me that Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London,
use the death of people and the maiming of up to one of 5060
people for political reasons. G G, hold on. Let me just give him
a little present. Go douche knuckle. Yeah, that's
despicable.
Definitely. Now, let's play this. There's another one. This
is kind of interesting. I didn't I got one more clip after this.
And then I have my conclusion that you can under still see all
Yeah, obviously. It's too obvious. All right. I've Theresa
May the coalition and borrowed time,
may needs a coalition partner to form a governing majority in
parliament, most likely Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist
Party. The group is pro Brexit, that well to the right on social
issues. There's broad agreement across the political spectrum
that Theresa May is living on borrowed time.
borrowed time?
Yeah, well, she's going to be ousted they everyone thinks but
again, you have your Jeremy Corbyn, who was supposed to be
ousted from labor and he's stuck around. So here's the last clip.
Now this clip was on RT, this is Nick Clegg, Nick Clegg, a very
famous British politician. And in fact, Angus Robertson, the
guy was running the Scottish Nationalist Party. They got
voted out both of them. Yeah, it was good to see Angus anymore
can coming in and he was very, very talented in the parliament.
But in this particular, and I started noticing this more in
this particular clip. The Liberal Democrat slash labour
representative news guy, they're in a little panel here on RT you
don't see it too often. I think it's from our MPs in London
offices. The guy is this a journalist? He's like your age.
Oh, he's very young and dapper. Maybe? Well, He's
young. He's probably a little younger than you. But he's got a
mohawk. shaved, shaved head Mohawk, a kind of a
guy from Yahoo that googly. What was his name? Yeah. Ugly
squiggly. And remember that guy, the crazy guy know their
marketing guy.
Oh, that no, no, this guy's worse. There's no comparison.
The marketing guy was just kind of a kind of a eccentric,
like speaks fluent Dutch. Did you know that? I think we may
have discussed it before. Fluent, fluent Dutch. It's very
freaky to hear him suddenly switched to Dutch. I'm sorry.
So wrapping this little description here. He's got a
mohawk. He's wearing a kind of a I don't know if it's a waistcoat
or a tails, a flowery shirt with a black bow tie and white
tights. Ready now I watched this guy and he's extremely is very
well spoken. He doesn't have any, like deja vu. If you don't,
you'll hear him. But you wouldn't spot him looking like
this in a million years. You have to see it. And then I
noticed when Jeremy Corbyn was up there giving his be his
victory. Read speech even though he didn't really win. He had a
guy behind him. And I think this is going on in England. And
somebody from one of our we have a lot of English producers, and
they can clue me in what this is all about. guy behind him, he's
wearing a velvet suit of some sort and long tails. Again, a
big yellow shirt, a yellow cumberbund. And a giant top hat
of the style you would see on Alice in Wonderland that was
kind of flares out and his furry with a yellow band around it.
And he's standing right behind,
I need a picture and I need to see this stuff. Now. If you look
around, you'll
find the pictures of this guy. He's like one of gorvins guys.
And so I'm thinking this place has gone crazy. So let's play
this clip in. And I'll explain what I think happened here. And
of course, not immediately relevant, but of course, Nick
Clegg lost his seat as well.
Yeah. And I think that that was just going back to what Steve
was saying anyone that's directly down to the student
vote there is this. There was a massive campaign to get students
to register to vote and massive drive hundreds or 1000s of new
registers from under 30s Over the last sort of month or so.
And that's not only affected Sheffield Hallam with Nick
Clegg. It's also taken out Greg Mulholland in Leeds Northwest,
again, a direct result of students registering and getting
out to vote, and it's because Jeremy Corbyn has mobilized and
motivated young voters.
So here's what we saw. Corbin, who also picked it has momentum
group that works with Bernie Sanders theories to get the
young vote out. During the Brexit vote, the one common
element and theme that we continually heard from people
bitching and moaning about the vote going Brexit instead of Lee
or stay. Yeah, we're students, all these students, it was
hundreds of them, but just everyone would do to say the
same thing. They'd say, Oh, this is terrible. I'm not gonna get
my job. And you're,
I have no I have no freedom of movement.
I get no freedom of movement. I'm just going to be stuck here
in this hellhole. And then the question would be asked, Did you
vote? No, no, why not? Why bother? None of them voted. But
this time they did. Ah, and and the Tory should have saw this
coming. Because what they did was they got all these pissed
off kids who are irked about the fact that the Brexit vote went
through, and they all feel guilty about not voting. All
came out to vote.
Yeah, how dumb how dumb. This she made it. She made it through
so that's okay. But still,
screw it. Everyone's Yes, she's done. She's through. She's
ruined her career. This was a stupid decision. And it could
have been been foreseen. Yeah. But nobody foresaw it. It was
the students came out to vote, they still couldn't swing it
fully. To labour but it's a was a possibility.
damn close. I say. Yeah.
So anyway, that's the kind of the summary. And that's what's
going on in the UK. And I think it's not going to stop I think
these kids are going to see that they got a little power. They
got rid of Nick. And some of these other guys. I don't know
what they did, why they didn't like him, but they didn't. And
now they're this could become a huge difference maker. And it's
going to change the policies. But it's also going to bring in
more of these crackpot looking characters like the guy and
yellow and the guy I
was talking about was Xingyi. AOL did it wasn't Yahoo. I'm
sorry. Was AOL. AOL digital prophet. Yeah. So it looks like
Xingyi a bit. Is that the deal?
No, he's way over the top compared to Xing Oh, okay. Good.
Yeah,
the I.
There's your update. Yes.
Thank you. Hello. Gitmo nation, GMT. Actually, I had did anyone
have something on them just while we're on the topic for a
moment, I had. Not just that I have a couple of couple of
articles for people to read in the show notes, but you don't
talk about the show notes that much anymore. But if you go to
archive.no agenda notes.com You can find an entire collection of
all of our clips. Everything is unstructured data, you can also
go to search.na shownotes.com That thing is kicking ass ever
since one of our producers picked up the project from
GitHub and rebooted it and started up on a different
server. It's really good. And it integrates beautifully now with
the no agenda player. Now we got some they should have a Podcast
Awards for Best audience best because you know we call them
producers but to be honest,
yeah, they're producing they're doing more work than we are.
ixnay on. So let's move to Comey. This happened during the
show most interesting things do happen on show days to right
after the show by went straight To the couch, and I watched it
was about what two and a half hours I think the full
testimony. The full hearing of Comey was me. I agree. Did you
watch it all?
No, no, I watch pieces of it. I did get a lot of clips, but I
didn't watch it all from beginning to end. I couldn't do
it. Well,
I see that you have a couple of I also have some media clips how
the media obviously responded to it, which was quite funny. I do
have I pulled a couple of clips from the, from the hearing
itself, because there were some really revealing things that you
will not hear discussed on the M five M anywhere. In fact,
they're even manipulating things that that come well.
Okay, I got it. I got a pre clip that we can do. Oh, it goes
right into what you're gonna do that like pre cancer. It's like
it's a little bit like pre cancer. This is the this is from
RT and they picked up on the the two world the two dimensions.
Oh, okay, nice. And the girl comes into or is the clip.
Everyone, here's what they want you here is what she concludes.
And I think this is a good free clip because it really does
symbolize what happened after the Comey hearings. I think she
could have been a little stronger with the report. But
she did, I think a good job of now analyzing the two
dimensions,
one of the most watched Senate hearings and American history
has come and gone and the testimony of sack FBI chief
James Comey was everything. Everyone expected. Those who
thought it would spell the end of Donald Trump. It did for
those who thought the US president would come out
unscathed. He has How is that possible? liberals say the
stakes have been raised and team Trump's Russian scandal while
conservatives are calling this sweet vindication. And the media
takes its own interpretation.
The President's rebuttal a combative statement from his
private Manhattan lawyer Mark kasowitz.
The President feels completely vindicated.
Has Trump obstructed justice by hoping Comey would let go of the
Michael Flynn case?
I took it as this is what he wants me to do. And I didn't I
didn't obey that. But that's the way it took.
You may have taken this direction. But that's not what
he said. Correct? I said he said I hope those are exact words.
Correct? You don't know of anyone that's ever been charged
for hoping something? Is that a fair statement?
I don't as I sit here,
like everything political opinion is divided. Some say
Comey stopped short of accusing the president of obstructing
justice on the other spectrum. The Case Against Trump is only
strengthening.
There were very specific questions asked of James Comey
that clarified the situation. And that's why we're not hearing
anything in major media outlets in America today about a Russian
collusion story anymore. In fact, there was a story about
collusion that was published on February 14, that he said was
completely false. Also, the media is trying to push this
story that Donald Trump is under criminal investigation. When
James Comey clearly said that he was not up until a month ago
when he left his position as FBI director. There are a lot of
stories out there that the mainstream media here in America
is trying to push. They're just completely untrue
stories spinning is reaching new heights. And in some cases, the
facts have been completely turned upside down.
The specific ask was that you would tell the American people
what you had already told him what you had already told the
leaders of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, that
he was not personally under investigation. Yes, sir.
Somehow CNN seemed to take that to mean that Trump was under
investigation.
Well, here we know in June, Donald Trump is under criminal
investigation. And that's a big deal. And that's important.
We also saw Comey reveal he passed information to the press.
And my judgment was I needed to get that out into the public
square. And so I asked a friend of mine, to share the content of
the memo with a reporter didn't do it myself for a variety of
reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might
prompt the appointment of a special counsel.
And yet somehow not everyone understands that as information
was leaked, he
quote leaks. He made that memo available after he was no longer
a an employee. The federal government did that as a private
citizen, so
it feels like Comey testimony hasn't changed much. Everyone
sticks to their guns and here's exactly what they wanted to
hear. Jacqueline booga RT Washington DC
wow another nice effect they got going on there. Is it this I
swear to god that was in that you didn't produce that.
I did not produce
no no that's your thing. That's that's no
I know it sounds just like my cowbell. But I'm telling you it
was on our tea.
Everybody has our tea. Whoa, here we go. Those Russians man
love that. I should have clipped it now in hindsight, because I
heard Don Lemon Anderson Cooper and who's the guy Edward Fox,
Shep Smith. It may be a sexual orientation thing
sounds like a gay Cabal.
They kept talking about this being a Rorschach test, which is
the famous inkblots. Look at the liquid, the ink stain. What do
you think it is? Oh, I see a butterfly. And I think I think
Don Lemon called a war Shaq tests on I have to go back, I've
got to go find that because that would be funny. But that's
that's their version of this is two universes. And boy, it was
very true the analysis of it. But I took the time I watched
it. So you don't have to now you John, but everybody else from I
would say within 15 minutes, all questions had been answered. And
all the answers we needed were given. But that doesn't mean
that it wasn't some really interesting little nuggets we
picked up. And it was Jim rich, the senator from Idaho
Republican who
seemed to be the only honest guy on there yet a
lot of good questions. But what I like so much, and there's
obvious reasons, the M five men will not talk about this. Call
me pretty much said, you know, mainstream media is full of
shit.
And I remember we you talked with us shortly after February
14, when the New York Times wrote an article that suggested
that the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians. You
remember reading that article when it first came out?
I do. It was about allegedly extensive electronic
surveillance, correct communications. Yeah.
And that upsets you to the point where you actually went out and
surveyed the intelligence community to see whether whether
you were missing something and that is that correct?
It's correct. I want to be careful and open. I'm not gonna
go any further
than that. So thank you. In addition to that, after that,
you sought out both Republican and Democrat senators, to tell
them that, hey, I don't know where this is coming from. But
this is not the case. The this is not factual that you recall
that? Yes. Okay. So so again, so the American people can
understand this, that report by the New York Times was not true.
Is that a fair statement?
In the main it was not true when
New York Times is wrong, have they have they issued a
retraction? Have I missed it? Somehow? They said we were
wrong. We were wrong. No, no. Great lady. Yeah, the paper of
record.
Again, all of you know this, and maybe the American people don't?
What did they tell us?
We're also stupid. The challenge
and I'm not picking on reporters, stories about
classified information is people talking about it, often don't
really know what's going on. And those of us who actually know
what's going on or not talking about it, we just leak. And we
don't call the press to say hey, you got that thing wrong about
this sensitive topic? We have our friends send it to him. We
just have to leave it there. As mentioned the chairman the
nonsense around what influenced me to make the July 5 statement,
nonsense, but I can't go explaining how it's nonsense.
Thank
you. Alright, so So those three things we now know, regarding
the active measures with prisons under investigation into
collusion between the Russian, the Trump campaign and the
Russians.
Okay, so what do you just summarize the collusion, the
wiretapping, and what was the third one?
Russian some, I gotta listen to some other Russian thing
explaining how it's nonsense. Thank
you. Alright, so So those three things we now know, regarding
the active measures, under investigation in the collusion
investigation, the Russian the Trump
campaign, so there was no active measures, ie wiretapping. The
President is not under investigation. There was no
Russian collusion. And this was in the first 10 minutes I asked
you what kind of done 28 words that matter, is how Senator Rich
positioned the quote, that Comey wrote down from the President,
I want to drill right down as my time is limited to the most
recent dust up regarding allegations that the president
knighted states obstructed justice. And what you nail this
down on page five, paragraph three, you put this in quotes,
words matter, you wrote down the words so we can all have the
words in front of us now. There's 28 words there that are
in quotes, and it says quote, I hope this is the President
speaking. I hope you can see your way clear to letting this
go to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let
this go. Now those are his exact words. Is that correct? Correct.
And you wrote them here and you put them in quotes? Correct.
Okay. Thank you for that he did not direct you to let it go. Not
in his words. No. He did not order you to let it go. Again,
those
words are not an order. No. He said
I hope. Now like me, you probably did hundreds of cases,
maybe 1000s of cases, charging people with criminal offences.
And of course, you have knowledge of the 1000s of cases
out there that where people have been charged. Do you know of any
case where a person has been charged for obstruction of
justice, or for that matter, any other criminal offense? Where
this they said, or thought they hoped for an outcome?
I don't know well enough to answer. And the reason I keep
saying his words is I took it as a direction is the president
united states with me alone saying, I hope this, I took it
as this is what he wants me to do. Now. I didn't I didn't obey
that. But that's the way it took it. You may
have taken this direction, but that's not what he said.
Correct. That's what said, he said, I hope those are exact
words. Correct. You don't know of anyone that's ever been
charged for hoping something? Is that a fair statement?
I don't as I sit here,
thank you. Thank you, Miss Jeff.
This whole hope thing. Yeah.
i You have to play this. And there's three versions of this.
I just want to play. You played the clip that would follow with
I'm going to want you to play which is you have to be careful
you don't play the wrong one here. Classic. Pelle Comey, this
is Peles. This is on CBS evening news. What we just heard is what
was that the hearings? Here's the way Peli and this is the
Comey misleading audience. This is what Pelley says the
president volunteered to testify to the special counsel
investigating Russia's tampering with the US election. In a rose
garden news conference. President Trump denied
yesterday's testimony by James Comey, the FBI director that he
fired last month. Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee
that the President directed him to the FBI investigation of
former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Well, let's listen to what he actually said.
Are you confident that no votes cast in the 2016 presidential
election were altered?
I'm confident by the time when I left as director I'd see no
indication of that whatsoever.
Direct Comey. The president at any time, ask you to stop the
FBI investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 US
elections?
Not to my understanding No. Oh,
did any individual working for this administration, including
the Justice Department asked you to stop the Russian
investigation?
No, no, that
doesn't really mesh very well with Mr. Peles words, does
it it pelle, pelle, Pelle Kelly's the liar? Let's hear him
it is terrible. For for him to put on CBS.
You know, I heard Rachel Maddow do the same thing by
James Comey, the FBI director that he fired last month, Comey
told the Senate Intelligence Committee that the President
directed him to drop the FBI investigation of former National
Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Your lie Pelley as director,
what happened? Actual lie. And that's an actual
lie. Now there's an actual lie on CBS. And I have to I will
just say, Who's responsible for this? Who wrote that line? The
CIA required to say at CIA
that everyone was saying this. It was I mean, we have to I'm
sure you have clipped it with tons of clips about how crazy
the analysis was. The word hope, though, has been bandied about,
it's like, Ah, I mean, you know, it's like, he's like the mafia.
You know, he's sitting there like, I hope you understand, and
I know you, you drag this thing. And then Kamla Harris came in
when Robert held a gun to somebody's head, and said, I
hope you will give me your wallet. The word hope was not
the most operative word at that moment. No, yes.
That makes so much sense. The Director Comey was the president
holding a gun to your head when he asked you if you hope you
dropped this Flynn thing. No. Wow, man. outrageous, but that
is outrageous. Here's something that I think everybody missed. I
don't I'm flabbergasted. This would be perfect for the cable
news outlet certainly for CNN, MSNBC. Listen carefully.
Did you limit that statement to counter intelligence
investigation? Sir, were you talking about any kind of FBI
investigation?
Now this is regarding the first meeting the director had with
President Elect where he told him about the Mi five
intelligence memo about the hookers peeing on the bed. Shell
and and President Obama
slept together was mi six but
I my six times, of course it was in my 695 This is what this is
about listening very carefully.
I didn't I didn't use the term counter-intelligence. I was
speaking to him and briefing him about some salacious and
unverified material. It was in the context of that, that he had
a strong and defensive reaction about that not being true. And
my reading of it was it was important for me To assure him
we were not personally investigating him. And so the
context then was actually narrower, focused on what I just
talked to him about. That was very important because it was
first true. And second, I was very, very much about being in
kind of a kind of a J. Edgar Hoover type situation. I didn't
want him thinking that I was briefing him on this, to sort of
hang it over him in some way. I was briefing him on it, because
we had been told by the media it was about to launch. We didn't
want to be keeping that from him. And if there was something
he needed to know, this was being said, but I was very keen
not to leave him with an impression that the bureau was
trying to do something to him. And so that's the context in
which I said, Sir, we're not personally investigating you.
Unless I misunderstood what Comey just said. He said the
report was true. He said it was true.
First of all, he through J. Edgar Hoover.
That's next. We're gonna get to that next that. Now, hold on to
what I have another clip for that. Hold on. Let's just talk
about this report. Listen, again,
because then was actually narrower, focused on what I just
talked to him about. That was very important, because it was
first true.
It was true. He says the report was true. That I'm not that.
Okay. Why is no one talking about this?
Because I think you're taking it out of context. You have to be
because I don't I've watched the whole thing. I'm not taking any
meat. They would be all over this. If you were I think let's
Can you start to clip?
Yes. Did you limit that statement to counter
intelligence investigation, sir, or were you talking about any
kind of FBI investigation?
In fact, John, I left a little bit of the her question on there
so that you could hear the context that he answers
completely about
any kind to vet FBI investigation.
I didn't I didn't use the term counterintelligence, I was
speaking to him and briefing him about some salacious and
unverified material. It was in the context of that, that he had
a strong and defensive reaction about that not being true. And
my reading of it was it was important for me to assure him
we were not personally investigating him. And so the
context then was actually narrower, focused on what I just
talked to him about. That was very important because it was
first true,
the context of what he was talking to him about.
Here's what No, I think you're good at taking this. Okay, I
could be wrong. I could be wrong. Because what he prefaces
do with unverified that means it can't be necessarily true,
unverified and salacious. Yes, he uses the word true about some
other aspect of the of what he's trying to describe
what I heard is that he said he narrowed the conversation. Just
listen again, I could be wrong, I could be wrong, but I'm just
know that he's a lawyer, you know, so it's kind of hard to
figure it out,
personally investigating him. And so the context then was
actually narrower focused on what I just talked to him about.
What do you just talk to him about? Why don't you just talk
to him about the salacious report or am I mistaken?
The unverified salacious report? I think he's not talking about
the report when he says true, he says it was true that he had the
conversation was listening and
getting him. And so the context then was actually narrower,
focused on what I just talked to him about. That was very
important because it was first true.
Okay, maybe was just true that that report was coming out.
That's possible. Okay. i To me, the
call, you're hearing what you want to hear?
Totally, totally. All right. J Edgar Hoover mentioned in this
clip. Wait, wait for this guy. I'm
not gonna say a thing. Just play. When I
was appointed FBI director in 2013. I understood that I served
at the pleasure of the President. Even though I was
appointed to a 10 year term, which Congress created in order
to underscore the importance of the FBI being outside of
politics and independent. I understood that I could be fired
by a president for any reason or
Director Comey and this is repeated everywhere. That is not
why the term limit was imposed. Let me read to you the FBI
directors appointed by the president since 1972. Also
confirmed by Senate J. Edgar Hoover, appointed by President
Calvin Coolidge to the predecessor office director of
your investigation in 1924, was by far the longest serving
director holding the position from its establishment under the
current title in 1935 until his death in 1972. In 76, in
response to Hoover's lengthy tenure and during the Watergate
era, Congress imposed a term limit of 10 years for future
directors, which was waived by the Senate for Robert Mueller,
July 27 2011. This was not to ensure the independence it was
to ensure we didn't have another J. Edgar Hoover, who was spying
on everybody and blackmail. nailing them, and everyone is
wrong about this.
We're not we bring this up all the time. This is not the first
time we've said
this the director FBI to say this and everyone's Oh, yeah,
it's and we couldn't read it in wiki pedia Snopes where Snopes
gets Snopes on the case. I thought that was flabbergasting.
Yes. I think he said this before, too. Oh, yeah. It's just
put plays into the hands of the one saya dimension B, and their
euros you.
Okay, so now, guys, now we have a couple of interesting little
things here. And I'm what I'm going to do is I'm going to play
this play, that's actually two clips, and then I'm going to
play a B C's version of it, which is so much better than
what he said. This is regarding Attorney General Loretta Lynch,
the decision to publicly go out with your results on the email.
Was your decision influenced by the Attorney General's tarmac
meeting with the former President Bill Clinton?
Yes. In in a ultimately conclusive way. That was the
thing that Callaway, he
just said he was influenced by the Attorney General influence.
This is this is actual obstruction of
justice. That's what I was thinking. Yeah.
Attorney General's tarmac meeting with the former
President Bill Clinton.
Yes. In in a ultimately conclusive way. That was the
thing that kept it from me that I had to do something
separately, to protect the credibility of the
investigation, which meant both the FBI and the Justice
Department.
Were there other things that contributed to that that you can
describe in an open session?
There were other things that contributed to that. At one
significant item I can't I know the committee has been briefed
on there's been some public accounts of it, which are
nonsense, but I understand that committee has been briefed on
the classified facts.
Again, great, great work news media.
Probably the only other consideration that I guess I can
talk about open setting is that at one point, the Attorney
General had directed me not to call it an investigation
directed me this is this isn't. So there's someone who actually
directed someone to do something regarding an investigation
meddling in the investigation, but
instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned
me. But that was one of the bricks in the load that led me
to conclude, I have to step away from the department. If we're to
close this case credibly.
Here's a little follow up, he explains exactly what happened
and why it really bothered him. Probably the
only other consideration that I guess I can talk about open
setting is, at one point, the Attorney General had directed me
not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter,
which confused me and concerned me. But that was one of the
bricks in the load that helped me to conclude
that's not the half overall clip. Now what what he what he's
what dammit, maybe it's an another clip. He said, Oh, and
here it is. This is the Attorney General,
the previous Attorney General, asking you about the
investigation on the Clinton emails saying that you've been
asked not to call it investigation anymore, but to
call it a matter. And you had said that confused you?
Can you give us additional details on that?
Well, it concerned me, because we were at the point where we
had refused to confirm the existence as we typically do of
an investigation for months. And it was getting to a place where
that looks silly, because the campaign's we're talking about
interacting with the FBI in the course of our work. The Clinton
campaign at the time was using all kinds of euphemisms,
security review matters, things like that, for what was going
on. We were getting to a place where the attorney Joe and I
were both gonna have to testify and talk publicly about it. And
I want to know what you're going to authorize us to confirm we
had an investigation. And she said, Yes, but don't call it
that, call it a matter. And I said, Why would I do that? And
she said, just call it a matter. And again, you look back in
hindsight, you think should I have resisted harder I just
said, alright, isn't worth this isn't Hill worth dying on? And
so I just said, okay, the press is going to completely ignore
it. And that's what happened when I said, we have opened a
matter. They all reported the FBI has an investigation open.
And so that concern me because that language track the way the
campaign was talking about the FBI is work. And that that's
concerning.
So we have not only interference within an investigation, we have
evidence of collusion between the Attorney General and the
Clinton campaign. This bill clinton did the tarmac but they
were talking about it. Yeah. Talking about specifically a
matter I was talking about a matter. Now listen to what Sky
King from not Larry King, the other guy, the guy, gray haired
guy from CNN, just listen director
did the special Counsels Office review and or edit your written
testimony? No, it was General Flynn at that time.
Sorry, this was the one he was asked to say. quickly about his
statements to the FBI. Do you have any reason to believe he
gave false statements to the FBI? And he said that's one of
the reasons he was under criminal investigation, a number
of significant things. One, this won't get most attention because
it's in the rearview mirror. But a pretty damning account from
Jim Comey there about Loretta Lynch, the former Attorney
General in the Obama administration, and her handling
of the Clinton email investigation and won't get much
attention. But that was pretty damning.
Yes, that's John King knows very well how it works. Oh, this
won't get much attention. This is what was going on with the
Attorney General.
Yeah, too late now.
Now listen carefully how ABS I just pulled a little piece that
had a whole montage of the testimony and listen to how they
take what Comey sad about Loretta Lynch interfering and
telling him what to say and pressuring him and how they
edited that right into Mike Flynn's name director did
the special Counsel's Office review and or edit your written
testimony? No, who was General Flynn at that time in serious
legal Jeopardy? And in addition to that, do you sense that the
President was trying to obstruct justice or just seek for a way
from Mike Flynn to save face, given he had already been fired?
General Flynn at that point in time was in legal Jeopardy.
There was an open FBI criminal investigation of his statements
in connection with the Russian contacts and the contacts
themselves. And so that was my assessment at the time. I don't
think it's for me to say whether the conversation I had with the
president was an effort to obstruct, I took it as a very
disturbing thing very concerning. But that's a
conclusion. I'm sure the special counsel will work towards to try
and understand what the intention was there. And whether
that's an offense, I had to do something separately, to protect
the credibility of the investigation, which meant both
the FBI and the Justice Department,
were there other things that contributed to that that you can
describe in an open session?
There were other things that contributed to that. One
significant item I can't I know the committee has been briefed
on has been some public accounts of it, which are nonsense, but I
understand that committee has been briefed on the classified
facts. Probably the only other consideration, I guess I can
talk about open setting is that at one point, the Attorney
General had directed me not to call it an investigation, but
instead to call it a matter which confused me and concerned
me, but that was one of the bricks in the load that led me
to conclude I have to step away from the department if we're to
close this case credibly.
I think that is the most deceptive editing job I've ever
had.
Wow, it made it sound like it was all about Flynn. It was
about Hillary's emails. Exactly.
Exactly is really bad. Dad is
die. You know, it's not as blatant as my Pelle clip.
No, but it's it's it's worse.
It's worse. Yeah, it's worse.
Just just for just to refresh our
memory thing is easy. That guy just lies on camera. This was a
it was an edit hit job. That's unbelievable. And they put that
link just started listening some other networks. I gotta get
off CB and they put that freaky music under it just a minute.
Freaky music, little flashback to Loretta Lynch at the Aspen
conference. What on earth? Were you thinking? What happened?
Well, I mean, that's the question of the day is that
people have also wondered, and raised questions about my role.
And the ultimate resolution of matters involving the
investigation in the State Department emails, as I've
always indicated, the matters being handled by career agents
and investigators with the Department of Justice. They've
had it since the beginning. They are enrich candidates, which
predates your tenure as Attorney General predates my tenure as
attorney general, it is the same team. And they are acting
independently, they follow the law, they find facts, that team
will make findings that is to say they will make they will
come up with a chronology of what happened, the factual
scenario, they will make recommendations as to how to
resolve what those facts lead to those the recommendations will
be reviewed by career supervisors in the Department of
Justice and in the FBI, and by the FBI director. And then, as
is the common process they presented to me, and I fully
expect to accept their recommendations,
and we now know how that really went. She pressured Comey and
just career people, I have nothing to do with it. Well, she
obviously did. I have two more clips from this hearing, and
then we can go off to some media stuff about it. Everybody's
laughing about John McCain. Now he was Was he drunk or was going
on you know, but he was incoherent, all true. He said,
Oh, I was watching baseball late at night. But I listened to this
clip a couple of times. I've cut it down somewhat. And although
incoherent and nuts, he I think he's making a valid point that
no one really understood. Tell
me the difference between your conclusion as far as former
Secretary Clinton is concerned and and Mr. Mr. Trump, that
investigation was going on this investigation is going on you
reach separate conclusions.
Shouldn't now that one was done, that I only had an
investigation of any involvement of Secretary Clinton or any of
her associates is completed.
Yes, as of July the fifth, the FBI completed its investigative
work. And that's what I was announcing what we had done and
what we had found.
I think that the American people have a whole lot of questions
out there, particularly since you just emphasized the role
that Russia played. And obviously, she was a candidate
for president at the time. So she was clearly involved in this
whole situation where fake news, as you just described, a big
deal took place.
Now, the what's going on here is McCain is trying to communicate
something which is not uninteresting. He's doing a very
bad job. And you guessed it at a certain point, he's he doesn't
even know if Comey is the President or whoever the
President is. But call me is only thinking about the Clinton
email investigation, which was closed in July of 2016. McCain
is saying something different.
You're gonna have to help me out here.
With respect to Secretary I'm not I'm a little confused,
Senator with Specter. Secretary Clinton. Yeah, we investigated
criminal investigation in connection with her use of a
personal email server understand, and that's the
investigation I announced inclusion of on July 5, so click
there
with the same time you made the announcement, there would be no
charges brought against then Secretary Clinton for any
activities involved in the Russia involvement in our gage
Minh in our election? I don't I don't quite understand how you
could be done with that, but not complete done with the whole
investigation of their attempt to affect the outcome of our
election?
No, I'm sorry. We're not, at least when I left when I was
fired. I made the night there was still an open active
investigation to understand the Russian efforts and whether any
Americans work with him, but he reached the
conclusion that there was no reason to bring charges against
Secretary Clinton. So you reached the conclusion. In the
case of Mr. Comey, you present Comey case with an ongoing
investigation.
What does he see what he's saying? And I understand what
he's saying,
why don't you explain it to us because this guy has lost it.
What he's trying to communicate, is the Russians meddled in our
elections, people use the word hacked all kinds of different
things. He's saying, if if they meddled in the entire elections,
why are you not at all looking at the Clinton camp? That we
know that they haven't? I found out although I didn't clip it.
Not only that Comey, the FBI did not have access to the DNC or
the DNC servers. Neither one were handed over to the FBI. I
thought at least one of them was handed over. But no, neither
one. But you know, but it's a trusted third party. So of
course, we're Crowdfire over Nora McCain is saying Why aren't
you? Why did you Why aren't you talking to them? Why is there no
communication with that side? She was in the election? How
could how can all of that be shut? You didn't even
investigate them? That's I think what he's trying to say.
What has been brought out in this hearing is, is more and
more emphasis on the Russian engagement and involvement in
this campaign. How serious do you think this was?
Very serious. But I want to say some be clear, there was we have
not announced and there was no predication to announce an
investigation of whether the Russians may have coordinated
with Secretary Clinton's campaign. Secretary Clinton's
campaign,
they may not have been involved with their campaign. They were
involved with the entire presidential campaign,
obviously,
of course. Yes, sir. And that that is an investigation that
began last summer and so far as I'm aware, it continues.
So both President Trump and former candidate Clinton are
both involved in the investigation yet one of them
you said there's gonna be no charges and the other one that
the investigation continues? Well, I think there's a double
standard there to tell you the truth.
McCain knows something. He's confused and he's nuts. But he
knows something that he's trying to allude to about the Russians
and the Clintons. That's what he's trying to say.
I think you're right. He's doing such a piss poor job of it.
Yeah, he really messed it up. Why
even bother listening to him, but it's like, I'm, I think
you're right. I think he does knows. I mean, there's a lot of
these guys always. You can tell by the way they ask these
questions that they're trying to try and say something that they
know but they know they can't say themselves exactly what it
is,
you know, she remember that the Russians might have all of her
emails, there's all kinds of stuff going on. I mean, if the
if there was a, if there's a an inkling of a thought that the
Russians had access to her email, emails would pretty much
all the intelligence world I think had access to her emails
from her private server. That would mean
Yeah, everyone has it, then you
need to see that thing. No, you need to see everything you need
to be you need to you can't stop investigating. Anyway, I'm gonna
play one last short clip from Comey then give you a conclusion
before we go over to some media analysis on how they reported on
this. You
are big, you're strong. I know, the Oval Office. And I know what
happens to people when they walk in there is a certain amount of
intimidation. But why didn't you stop and say, Mr. President,
this is wrong. I cannot discuss this with you.
It's a great question. Maybe if I were stronger? Is that a
great question?
Now that intimidation, but why didn't you stop and say, Mr.
President, this is wrong? I cannot discuss this with you.
It's a great question. Maybe if I were stronger, I would have I
was so stunned by the conversation that I just took it
in. And the only thing I could think to say, because I was
playing in my mind, because I gotta remember every word he
said, was playing in my mind. What should my response be? And
that's why I very carefully chose the words and look, I've
seen the tweet about tapes. Lordy, I hope their tapes
already. I, I remember saying, I agree. He's a good guy as a way
of saying, I'm not agreeing with what you just asked me to do.
Again, maybe other people would be stronger in that
circumstance. But that that was, that's how I conducted myself. I
hope I never have another opportunity. Maybe if I did it
again, I would do it better. All right.
So as an American citizen, I'm very happy. This man is no
longer a director of FBI because he's a whiny little bitch. And
let me tell you what I think about Comey, who was director of
HSBC, on the board of directors when they were going through the
whole Mexican drug money laundering. He's a fixer. He
helps people he was intimately involved with the Clinton
Foundation. Then he's denser than he's in New York. He's you
know, this does he send bankers to jail? No, he sends Martha
Stewart to jail. He said he was prosecuted Dominique Strauss
Kahn to get the to get Fifi Lagarde into the IMF. This guy,
here's what happened. He got burned on because he was told by
Lynch, Listen, stop this look, no more Clinton investigation,
close it down. So he says, Okay, it's all done. We're closed
down, but then he really got burned because they had to
reopen an investigation. And then he's like, Oh, crap, what
am I going to do now with this trumpet? I'm not he's a pussy.
He's weak. He's no backbone, no spine. And, and then he goes,
and he. I have to get the word out into the public square.
Everybody knew what's going on. He's covering his own ass and
what man says lordy, lordy, lordy, it's cultural
appropriation if anything. This guy, I'm glad he's gone. What a
douche bag. Douche bag.
You may now play that pet peeve jingle.
Okay. Oh my goodness. And you know, just a lordy Lord. What a
pussy boy that guy is glad
he's. That's funny because that's somewhat contradicts some
of the media reporting
No kidding. No kidding. I
just I only have like three. Okay. This is the Comey memo
leaks part one. This was on CBS again with Scott Pelley. The
President
also said he did not ask for commies loyalty,
and there'd be nothing wrong if I did say it according to
everybody that I've read today. But I did not say that.
The President attacked Comey for leaking details about their
conversations to the press.
I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of
our meeting. Comey testified
yesterday that shortly after he was fired, he gave memos
documenting his conversations with the President to a friend
who in turn gave them to a reporter
because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a
special counsel.
Now the president's lawyer Mark kasowitz plans to file a
complaint with the Justice Department Inspector General and
Senate Judiciary Committee. He argues Comey released sensitive
information. threatening legal action is a tactic often used by
Mr. Trump. According to a CBS News tally, Mr. Trump promised
to file at least 24 lawsuits during the course of the
campaign.
And we're gonna have people sue you like you never got sued
before.
But he followed through on just to call these defenses that Mr.
Trump's own tweet prompted him to leak the memos. Yeah.
Now hold on. There was a switcheroo in here. Again, CBS
does this all the time. where they're talking about one thing
and then click it up a notch to something completely different,
but it sounds like it's kind of in the same thing. They talked
about his lawyer filing a complaint, and then equating
that with lawsuits, which is a hugely different thing. But they
made it so smooth, they smooth it out. So it's like, and his
lawyers bitching about this that just because Trump files all
these lawsuits and then they go on and then they demean him by
saying the only country with too many is a big bowl. Share. Yeah,
it was very slick clip and this is a classic way they do these
things on on CBS CBS is really showing up to be
really drama right up there with ABC today as far as I'm
concerned.
But let's play Comey memo leaks to and Kelly comes on.
The President had suggested he might have recorded tapes of
their conversations Florida, I hope their tapes. President
would not confirm the recordings but said he'll discuss the tapes
in the near future.
Are you going to be very disappointed when you hear the
answer? Don't worry.
Neither the White House nor the president's lawyers have
announced any plans for the President to testify, Scott, but
there are some in Congress suggesting that he may be
deposed by the Special Counsel
Margaret Brennan at the White House. Thanks. Now in his
testimony, Comey described a series of highly unusual
meetings and phone calls in which Mr. Trump bypassed Comey,
his boss, the attorney general, to speak with Comey alone. The
investigation now pits a law man with a long reputation for
integrity against the President often ridiculed for falsehoods
and conspiracy theories.
A long reputation of integrity nice. And I really wanted to
like call me we've been looking at this guy for Yeah, we've
always kind of like kind of liked him. And now he's just,
uh, he's weak. He's just as a citizen. No, no to these guys in
the FBI. Not this guy. Not a no, no.
But the long reputation and then he can't resist. Pelle can't
resist putting a little dig at the end. He has to do it. Yeah.
It adds conspiracy theories to it. I mean, it's unbelievable
how bad these reporters are. It's
editorializing somewhat. Little,
did you hear this? Or realizing a lot.
Now, I got some real honesty out of Chris Matthews from MSNBC.
But the world is upside down.
But the big story to me has always been as all of us and I
think Nicole really touched on it there. But the assumption of
the critics of the President of his pursuers, you might say, is
that somewhere along the line in the last year, the president
something to deal with colluding with the Russians something to
do the helping hand, encouraging them feeding their desire to
affect the election in some way, some role, they played some
conversation he had with Michael Flynn, or Paul Manafort or
somewhere. And yet what came apart this morning was that
feeling because to have two regards, the president said
according to the written testimony of Mr. Comey, go ahead
and get anybody satellite to my operation and nail them. I'm
with you on that. So bear with me, man, manna, Ford Carter
Page, someone else like that. And then he also came across the
what was fascinating, Comey said that basically, Flynn wasn't
central to the Russia investigation that he was
touching
on it. Yeah. GE Oh, you mean that all these like how many
months now? Just half a year, a year? How long? We've been
talking about this? Yeah, exactly. It all fell apart. Now
we've got some interesting information coming to us from
CIA. And we're pretty convinced that FBI and CIA are at war
internally. And I'm, I'm pretty convinced that that the struggle
continues very wildly at the moment. I would think Catherine
herridge, the pixie girl from Fox, we know she's intelligence
asset. And she has a pretty cool accusation. Everything
that has been indicated to me is that the investigation will
continue. And it may wrap up at some point soon this year. But
the accusation against the former FBI director, and this
comes mostly from Republicans is that he has been sort of slow
walking records about the Americans who were identified or
unmasked in these intelligence reports and providing them to
Congress. And the reason that's a big deal is that everyone in
the I see in the intelligence community knows that there is no
bigger, deeper, wider, more extensive paper trail, then
there is when you unmask or identify an American citizen,
and it should not take months. It should take weeks, if not the
course of a set several days to know who was unmasked and who
made those requests. And that has not been provided to
Congress based on our reporting.
And it's obvious it was Comey. He's the one that unmasked
didn't they take this stupid girl, throw her under the
proverbial bus Get rid of her. He's the one that unmasked and
he's a leaker. He's a leaker.
I can't remember a time ever where a former FBI director has
deliberately leaked the contents of a government document. So it
would get to a reporter in the hopes that it would prompt a
special counsel investigation. And one of the problems I'll say
for James Comey right now, is that in his last public
testimony here on Capitol Hill before the Senate Judiciary
Committee, right out of the gate, in that hearing, he took a
series of questions from the Republican chairman, Chuck
Grassley and Chuck Grassley asked him whether he had ever
been an anonymous source for reporters about the Hillary
Clinton email investigation or the Russia case. And James Comey
testified No, then he asked him whether he had ever authorized
someone else to be an anonymous source on his app on the Clinton
email case, and the Russia case and James Comey said no, so at
the very least, what you can draw here, from that testimony
is that once he left the office of FBI director, he was not
necessarily a person of principle, he made a decision to
leak information on an anonymous basis, in the hope of really
changing the entire focus of the Russia investigation going
forward. So that based on my reporting here over the last
couple of months, specifically on that issue, this sets up at
the very least a conflict or the need for a further explanation
how he sort of squared these elements here, Bill.
And the reason is, he's covering his own ass. He's up
his little element here that I think we don't overlook.
Grassley. I remember these questions. They seemed a little
weird to me. He asked the question as though he already
knew the answer. And he knew, and that's your your leak? No.
Have you ever given your stuff to someone else to leak? was not
a question that you're going to normally ask? No, because it's
not something you normally think you would you did guy leaked, or
he didn't. But no, no, he knew something. And this again,
brings us back to the CIA FBI battle. Sorry, when you're
dealing with the with the news media, which is infiltrated,
infiltrated by CIA? Yep. He obviously gave it to a CIA guy
who told Grassley about it because he knew what's gonna
happen.
Yes, yes. Judge Jeanine had her own take on this,
Jim Comey comes across as someone who was so wildly and so
calculating, he's a predator, he makes a decision that the
President is going to lie to him before he even has his first
meeting. And so he decides that he's going to start recording or
memorizing what was said in their conversations. And then it
gets to the point where he says, You know what, I'm going to leak
this stuff. Now. Why is he so comfortable leaking? What is it
about his history, his background as a prosecutor? And
what I would want to know is his Is he the leaker? Is he the guy
who was so comfortable? And the answer to why he didn't leak in
himself about the seagulls in the beach and my wife was
hogwash. It was a distraction. And you know what, he did the
same thing just now with the senator. What he said basically
was, Lordy, I hope there are tapes. Well, that doesn't answer
the question as to why someone else was at or who he leaked it
to.
Christina Richmond isn't just a buddy that was talking about
AI is a liberal guy walk he used to live in the US Attorney's
office. He was the appellate attorney there, you develop a
very close relationship. I know from being da with my appellate
people. Okay. You talk to them about serious issues. But the
fact that he was so comfortable that he did this to a liberal
Professor loosen linked to that. It tells me that he's been this
isn't the first time that the guy's leaked. It tells me he's a
predator. He was looking to take Donald down the president down,
excuse me. And what he wanted to do was preserve himself. He is
an operator, he is part of the Washington elite.
That's right. And he's opposed. But I think that this went so
poorly for, for the Democrats, that it's not unsurprising that
Nancy Pelosi showed up on the morning Joe's for half an hour.
Half an hour. This woman is on Morning, Joe.
Yeah, the Speaker of the House, not the speaker, but the the
second in line, if the House of Representatives runs the runs
that she's the minority, a minority Minority Leader, she
hasn't got time to waste doing this. Why why did she go do her
job?
A very interesting little exchange between the panel on
the morning Joe's and Miss Pelosi besides
telling the President not to tweet if he came to you and said
I've got this problem with Russia, all these
investigations. I really do want to get back to the people's
business. What could he do? What would you advise them to do?
Well, I have advised him to do go to sleep Yeah, get some
sleep. Yes, bring yourself to a place where there's synapses or
words that that agree with you completely. Well might call me
the night of the Syria invasion not to go into the conversation
was late at night, like at midnight, well, after it was all
finished, he was going on and on. I said, What was like
midnight, and the minute you go to sleep, I think that I think
there's something not more sleep might be a solution for him. But
the thing
is people just just to expand on that, as some people say, He
doesn't sleep, he wanders around the White House, his family's
not there right now. He bangs around there with like Steve
Bannon. He's obsessed with the news. He sits and watches TV
six.
Joe really knows a lot about what the president's doing at
the White House, doesn't he? I guess he just paint this picture
of Trump. And he knows, where's Benjamin?
You know? In a good place. Well, we're
not in disagreement in that. But what I would say is, this is
really important. And I say to my members, if you want to talk
about now, mind
you, she just said the president, he doesn't sleep, his
synapses aren't firing, you know, he's probably mentally
challenged. You might have syphilis. He didn't say that.
But I'm just painting the picture for
making a judgement about his presidency, you have to have the
facts. So let's have an independent outside commission
to have the facts about what the Russians tried to do to our
election to make sure it doesn't happen again. Why didn't he ask
any questions about that? Amazing, didn't he wasn't even
curious about what is Why is easy
to running interference. Oh, no question about it. I did it
wrong and curious
about it. What is why is he beholden to Putin that he would
put him on a pedestal in Article Five, which is practically an
article of faith? She didn't
question Article Five. Did he? Did we miss something? Even
question Article Five,
in terms of our mutual security arrangement, why would he
question whether he would do sanctions on Russia? What is it
the Russians have on him politically, personally, and
financially,
given the fact that very few people other than you,
especially you are more familiar with the stress of the job of
the presidency, given your remarks a few months ago? Are
you concerned about the President's health
Okay, now, Nancy Pelosi we know that all think he's not
concerned about his health, his mental hygiene perhaps, but
wait, what happens to her?
I think his family should be concerned about his health. But
the fact is, is that this is hopefully not repairable. He is
the president of the United States.
You mean you hope it is repairable?
Yeah, it's not
error. Maybe you should have a checkup Miss Pelosi.
You have the clip I didn't get the clip but I should have
gotten this clip. Did you have the clip of her Yes, I got that
clip. Okay, can you play that
she just had a senior moment right there after she accused
the President of being confused and mentally challenged and all
kinds of not having enough sleep eating sleep she's sitting there
and she's going yeah, this can't read this is good can't repair
this yeah
maybe I was right. Jump on it pile jamika
repairable and perhaps there is an impeachment
the I word a very good bunch of doshas each bit now. No, she she
then
she stopped for just a second. Sure. I do not see how this can
continue. Because this is what the idea is just my theory and
maybe you don't agree or you do they have to keep this up until
the elections of 2018 I there there's it's like they've
shooting their wad.
Not only that, but they were so proud of Hillary Clinton never
sleeping. Oh, she doesn't need any sleep. Heroes. She doesn't
sweat. She does superhero She's fabulous. You can do everything
like that. But not to Trump nor to Trump man can't do it. No,
you can't do it. Though. She she does
about that. You're right they Oh, you're all happy about how
Hillary she doesn't need any sleep. She's a superstar. Yeah.
Yeah, so So Nancy has her her daily speech but she does one
just like the State Department the White House she doesn't
herself and and she's so proud of herself as you see it as
something criminal and white. That's not the 101 This one here
we go.
On TV is follow
that here was just in case you didn't see me on TV. Yesterday,
did you see me on TV?
But I did say this morning, in case you missed me,
because she missed me. Did everyone miss me? Did you see
me? You missed that I was really good
on TV is follow this. Now this was early this morning. And then
light of events that have come forth since I said to him, that
New Yorkers have said to me, those who've had business
dealings with him, he operates this way. First, he tries to
charm you, President Bush tries to charm you, if that doesn't
work, he tries to bully you. If that doesn't work, he walks away
from the deal. And if that doesn't work, he Sue's you. So,
charm, fully abandon
Sue, and then an aide walks up to the lectern, hands her a
piece of paper
to where that is. So I would hope that we could work in a
bipartisan way. Now, again, indicative of what's going on in
the administration. You have the Secretary of the Treasury saying
we want to clean thing debt ceiling that says that President
Bush, I'm sorry, I meant to say it's hard for me to say it.
So she said she inadvertently said President Bush again, you
got to be concerned for our mental hygiene. She said Bush
instead of President
Trump numerous times, and then she
says I can't even say it. I can't even say President Trump
when she doesn't say
I said President Bush. I'm sorry. I meant to say it's hard
for me to say President Bush, I apologize.
Final short clip of her spinning the obstruction of justice.
Do you see it as something criminal? Or is it just
inappropriate?
Well, it certainly is inappropriate. And let me just
get back to your question. Yes, I do think it is abuse of power.
But in terms of obstruction of justice, I think there's reason
to believe and that Muller should look into this. Because
you don't say as they said, Well, nobody ever was
prosecuted, because they said what they hoped. But if you're
the president, United States in the oval with this pattern of
behavior that we have seen, while the Justice Department,
their tradition is not to to indict the President of the
United States, it's certainly in a court of public opinion, very
incriminating,
which is exactly what this is about. It's about the court of
public opinion. It's about the elections, the 2018 elections.
And even she says, Well, you know, probably can and should be
looked into as obstruction of justice, but it's about the
court of public opinion. Or Thank you very much.
Leaders in this, they can make this drag on this long. I don't
I learned just a few months into the whole thing. And they want
to carry this for over a year. And they
do the same thing with the elections. They also started way
too early, when
they run out of steam at the end, this is a real problem that
the Democrats have, they're gonna have to correct this.
I shot my wad. So you can let's wrap this up with your clips,
and then we can head off into the sunset.
Well, I don't really have anything on top of that I do
have. Let's see, you have a leaker. I
see PBS leaker.
Yeah, this is just a this is the different leaker. And well,
maybe we can play this has really nothing to do with Pelosi
or all this other crap. But this is kind of an ask Adam. All
right. It says ask Adam and I want you to identify the leaker.
She told
ABC News that she felt obligated to expose civilian casualties,
while serving as an intelligence analyst in Iraq.
We're getting all this information, and it's just
death, destruction, mayhem, and eventually you just stop. I
stopped seeing just statistics and information. And I started
seeing people I've accepted responsibility. No one No one
told me to do this. Nobody directed me to do this. This is
me. It's on me.
Who's this? I missed? Like,
Oh, you missed it. Yeah, that's what I thought, but a PBS leak
or two and you'll know who this was.
Sorry. A transgender soldier, formerly known as Bradley
Manning, is now appealing her conviction.
Wow. Listen to now let me listen to the clip again.
She told ABC News that she felt obligated to expose civilian
casualties while serving as an intelligence analyst in Iraq.
We're getting all
this information and it's just death, destruction, mayhem, and
eventually you just stop. I stopped seeing just statistics
and information. And I started seeing people I've accept the
responsibility. No one No one told me to do this. Nobody
directed me to do this. This is me. It's on me.
So unlike Bruce Jenner, yeah, I
got Chelsea's got the voice down. Yeah,

fact she's Kanchi good. She's cute. And she pass. Yeah, yeah,
she can pass and now you have to wonder if she might have been a
chimera or something she made she looks like she should have
been all along like she claimed. A woman. Yeah, she carries
herself like once she sounds like once she looks like Okay,
done she may
be she may be intersex.
Yeah, could be something, whatever the case is when you
watch it here. There's not It's not like some guy, you know,
with a beer, you know? Right probably like this wearing a
dress. I mean, it's just it's not that.

on the second donation segment. And please remember we have
another show coming up on Thursday. volterra.org/n am
still the weekend was nice Sunday, go out there meet people
on the street propagate the formula. Our formula
is this. We go out. We had people in the mouth
so the story and the flow into your story, the story about the
strip join was something I tweeted, which is quite
interesting. Just I'm sure it was bogus. But I tweeted an
immediate if you'd like that, Oh, crap. This is the guy who
deconstructs news. What was the sound exactly? Like no, I'm
nailing it. No, totally. And there was about a strip join
where they had the food the the girls had eaten before showtime.
Some kind of bug in it. And so the story is that they that they
were
they were on the ball spinning around the pole. Yes.
Yes. It's very detailed in his description. And it's pretty
sure it's not true, but it was very, very funny. And that flows
right in flows literally right into your story. From the
newsletter from the newsletter, it was a very interest. I had no
idea and I've lived in San Francisco. So I know about the
problem, but I didn't know about the maps and my Please explain.
Yeah, and the last newsletter I did a special on human feces
based on the fact that the council, Denver City Council
legalized pooping in the street. So I had to mention that one up
Denver because San Francisco not only two people poop in the
street, but there's a poop map which is linked to this
newsletter. And the poop map is very brown. It's really
horrible. But well, if you zoom in on the poop map, you can go
street by street and see where all the poop is because it who
maintains the route map. I don't know who maintains it but is but
I know the public keeps it up to date because Jay who has the log
dogs, crowdsource poop? Is crowdsource poop locations,
crowdsource poop it's she has she always checks the poop map
for her dog walking regimen to see where they go because you
know it's just poop all over the place. Now the standard when it
rains you have to assume that the poop is all over the really
over the place because the poop gets wet and splashes it's
disgusting situation. The map is bad enough. But here's the
kicker that I didn't mention in the newsletter,
which which was a really shitty newsletter. Yeah, it
was crap man. Apparently a lot of this stems from the high tech
companies that have bitched and moaned about the homeless and
the word on the street and I think there was some reporting
on this but I don't know if it was it was detailed. Twitter,
which is right on Market Street where there's a lot of homeless
people had bitched and moaned and groaned about about porta
potties that were all around their offices, saying that the
porta potties were the problem. They were causing the homeless
to congregate.
So they rather they prefer poop on the street.
Apparently they didn't realize that that would be the result.
But so they there's a lot of the porta potties that used to be in
San Francisco were taken away because of these tech companies
saying it's a blight and is making the homeless gather
around here. We don't want to even see them and
that is exactly what they sound like.
He said, Yes, I've been working in the industry long enough I
can that's one of the few limitations I can do. Accurate.
Very good. Very good. So they removed all the porta potties
and now they poop problem and it's always been a problem but
not like it is now the poop problem in San Francisco human
humans just crapping and this of course, we brought up on the
show, probably more than any other show where we discuss it
with the immigrant situation in Europe. Where
are they moving? Where are they pooping? Exactly
where are they put me they gotta be pooping somewhere. You've got
to poop who has to come. And so San Francisco is
delayed in taxes and poop it's life.
San Francisco said again San Francisco is poop laden. So good
luck when you want to come out here as a tourist get you
nothing else get a hold the newsletter and I've tweeted it
too. So that makes it very accessible. And go to the poop
map and then figure out where you want to stay when you're in
the city to the
poop map Robin app so but the crazy thing is that everyone's
so so careful about their dogs pooping
Yes, I mentioned that. Yes, if you're a dog walker, you have to
pick up the poop and do all these
things. Why couldn't we have people who pick up dog poop
anyway just be a managed pick up some some human
telling it's disgusting. And it's not like a small dog poop
which has usually some some you know it's usually because they
feed dog drive was small like a rabbit pellets. It's pretty easy
to pick up is wet. You know human poop all over San
Francisco streets. It's it gets gross.
Yeah, that's really not okay they're obsessed with poop,
John.
Yeah, they are and they're pooping everywhere. So anyway,
so another reason to subscribe the newsletter isn't a jam every
time but this last one this was Yeah. Without a doubt valuable
information.
Information you can use. It's great for cocktail parties.
Yeah, yeah, you can you can sound knowledgeable. I may put
biologist I tell you I knew all kinds of things about this. Yes,
indeed. See, oh, never that. Yes. Enough of that. I wanted to
see wasn't going to say we do have a
little do analysis here. That would be interesting. Okay,
because I've been kind of listening to the Qatar thing.
Oh, the Russians hack the newspaper and I didn't even know
the full story. But I have now I have the full story before me
and I can tell you I think I know what's what's really going
on here. And it's kind of it's kind of in these clips. But
Qatar news hack can play that clip.
Every Good morning. Hope your weekend is going good the early
part of it. My name is Kevin o in our top story that Donald
Trump has weighed in to the diplomatic crisis among the Gulf
states now by accusing Qatar of backing terrorists at a quote
very high level.
The nation of Qatar, unfortunately, has historically
been a funder of terrorism. At a very high level, the time had
come to call on Qatar to end its funding. They have to end that
funding.
Before us diplomat Jim Jeffers thinks that trumps focus on
Qatar ignores the elephant in the room.
The accusation that Qatar is funding terrorism Of course they
do they support the terrorists in Syria, the same ones the
Saudis support, and for that matter, Turkey, that's really
not the issue here. Evidently, this is part of the rivalry
between Saudi Arabia and Qatar. So it's very strange that in the
name of fighting terrorism, President Trump is coming down
so hard on khokhar in supporting Saudi Arabia, which by far is
the world's biggest funder of terrorism and its top
ideological inspir Inspire.
Both Saudi Arabia and Qatar deny any involvement in terrorist
activities. The number of Arab countries have severed
diplomatic ties with Doha. Some have even closed their borders
with Qatar leaving it really isolated now on the Arabian
Peninsula as it stands. The crisis was in part triggered by
an article that was published by Qatar's state run news agency in
which the country's Ma was quoted as calling for dialogue
with Iran and then went on to criticize the US leader for that
in the Made denied the comments were ever made it insisted the
news agency had actually been hacked neighboring Arab nations
as well as the United States as we've just seen apparently were
convinced by that it Petrenko breaks down then the growing
rift right now in the Gulf and the formation of new coalition's
I love that it was a hack man.
Okay here's what might I have a take on this? I think it was a
hack. Now they like to bribe oh the Russians again Russian,
Russian, Russian Russian, if you remember I think it was about
about a year ago I discussed I visited with this company in San
Francisco that is the anti hacking group called Cloudflare.
And Cloudflare is responsible for blocking IPS universally.
And yeah,
whenever you get to teach us everyone, they always jump in
when someone's getting DDoS.
Big too if you're getting big time DDoS. And one of the things
that I discussed this on the show that leading hackers in the
biggest DDoS SIRs is not the Russians or the Chinese, it's
Iran. That was the weird anomaly I discovered when I saw Yeah,
Ron, they're number one with doing
that makes total sense. Then Iran hack them.
Exactly. Ron hack in Iran knew a couple of things. One person
promoted themselves and then two, they've slammed Trump
knowing he'd go nuts. Whoa, you got hot flashes. And deeper into
the clip. There's this little tidbit which just sounds like
Iran was all over this
tape guitars ties with Iran. Business was good indeed. But
the politics Definitely not. When in winter 2016 The Saudis
came down hard on Iran drawing the line at war dog clearly took
Riyadh
side Qatar has become the latest country to side with Saudi
Arabia and its dispute with Iran
after protesters attacked the Saudi Embassy there.
Wow. It's
June this year. And we hear this from Tehran on its supposed
foes.
We are ready to export any kind of foodstuffs to Qatar, in light
of the sanctions imposed by the Persian Gulf countries
starve you fools.
So they're going to I mean, this is just got Iran written all
over it. There's been one analyst that has even thought of
this, this possibility. And
we have thought about it clearly. And the more I have
been thinking about it, this is I think, taking the the
pipelines into account. This is well, first of all, all of this
benefits Russia, because they're, you know, there's their
stuff they can do with Syria. And you know, they want to stop
this pipeline from Qatar, Qatar going up to Turkey and getting
their gas into into Europe. And so in a way it's helping the
Russians, but also I think driving a wedge between Iran and
the Russians. It seems pretty planned.
Yeah, well, it doesn't seem like a Russian hack. Like they like
to say that the mainstream media is telling us now if there's a
hack at all. Now, I guess the Litany is not it's not a hack.
They they actually did it that that Amir actually said the
stupid things and it wasn't a hack. You can hack a newspaper.
Yeah. This was a while ago, this is what a year ago, maybe this
is. This is no this has been boiling. Only recently. I think
that the he that is Trump just made his speech a couple of days
ago. But I think the Saudis
if I don't know if I recall, correctly, they accused hacking
because an article showed up about and it was the Emir or
whoever it is saying, oh, yeah, we just give the Clintons a
million dollars. And Bo it is and everything works out. Okay.
Recall the story.
Vaguely. That's a different, a different line of Yeah, it does.
Again, it sounds like it could be an Iranian hack. Totally. I
don't know why they're so good at this and why it's been
ignored by the mainstream media,
this fact because they don't use it. What do actual work
citizen you may return to your harpsichord.
Now, they're not going to do any work. I did come across a
fabulous article. In the economist, surprisingly enough,
since it's been ruined by the new editor. Yes. That we know
that the Maldives and all these other countries like Oh, global
warming is it'd be we're eroding. You know, my house is
falling into the ocean. We're being flooded. And we
deconstructed that as they are selling their sand than that and
when you when you take the sand away from any coast, it's not
like there's just a hole in the ocean node fills up, where does
it fill up from from the land from your land that you're
sitting on? And so this article came out, it's a month old, I
only just found it and I want to share a little bit of it with
you. Sand is in high demand. In some parts of the world, people
are going to increasingly great lengths to get their hands on
the golden grains. Yes, a sand mafia in India intimidates
locals in order to extract and transport them material in
Morocco and the Caribbean thieves are stripping beaches
bear even though fully accounting for illegally mined
sand is not possible. Sand is easily the most mined material
in the world. And this is according to the United Nations
Environmental Program. Their sand and sand and gravel account
for up to 85% of everything mined globally each year. And
what you see there are pirates John, Pirates of sand thieves
stealing sand, Singapore and Qatar. Coincidentally are big
importers. Australian sand was transported to a built Borgia
not Busara Burj Khalifa Tower in in Dubai. I'm thinking this is a
good business
Steena it's one of these sand and gravel businesses always
been a good business and I ran into one of these guys who owned
a quarry. And quarries are interesting you first you got to
know what to look for you look and these
are good. You can't use desert sand desert sand is too thin is
no good.
Well, the sandy gravel is the best sand at least locally. I
just thought it meant this has nothing to do with the piracy of
sand which is yeah, the beach sand is what you want for this
stuff. You're talking about it and you can't just go to the
Sahara because it's almost like powder and in fact when you can
be if you've ever been in the sandstorm which I have yeah it's
a it's just it's looks like a fog it's a fog as this is a it's
not like you're getting sandblasted it's just all this
powder that goes in the big wall it can be yeah i when it comes
up yeah,
when I when I went to Iraq in 2003 We landed in Kuwait City,
then we had to stay on the plane for about 45 minutes because of
a sandstorm it was pretty interesting being in the plane
while that happened. While that happened.
Anyway, this the sand and gravel guy seemed to be like these
independent guys are just getting to live wherever they
want. They spot a spot spot where over this looks like I
know what this hill looks like. It looks like we can explain it
buys the land, makes the sand and gravel pit exploited for
five or six years, maybe makes a few million dollars and then
sells it off to a land developer. Yeah, I always
thought that was a fascinating kind of life. Once you learn how
to do it, you can just do it. It's you know, it's like
podcasting.
Yeah, sand bunnies are podcasters to say, the same
coin. Exactly. And, you know, there was a very interesting
speech at the United Nations about LGBT. And I think if
you're talking about the globalists, the the no nations,
no borders people, the people who are really laying down the
land of political correctness, how the world has to be, what
you call things, what you do what you don't do, I would think
the United Nations is where you can get factual information.
Would you agree?
No, the golden.
I mean, of course not. But obviously, I'm being somewhat
facetious. Okay, the idea is that this is the United Nations,
they're all in on everything. And they have this is the part
of the mechanism they are they are a big part of the mechanism.
Yes. And this is the independent rapa tour, which is a job I
want. Independent reporter which means that guy has to go out and
this was for the Human Rights Council, human rights, a big
human rights meeting, the guy has to go out and then find out
about what's going on with the with the gender and sexual
orientation and, and LGBT and I assume Yeah, I listen to this
guy. Firstly, he's a good speaker. But he's Asian. I'm not
sure where he's from. Exactly. He has just, it was kind of
entertaining to listen to. But what surprised me is one the
extent of, of how horrible life is for alternative lifestyles in
the world in general, it really made me think, wow, why are
people complaining about America? You have some work to
do if you really care about your LGBT brothers and sisters, but
also the acronym itself. Now, we have tracked this for many
years. The acronym clearly to me is LGBTQ Qi a P, that is the
most inclusive lesbian, gay, bisexual, BioCurious,
transgendered, queer, questioning, intersex, Allied,
asexual and pansexual. I think these that really encompasses
everything wrong, wrong, wrong wrong. He is going To introduce
us to the correct acronyms and understand that and he has some
pronunciation even for us and he just did I thought it was
entertaining and educational to learn about what's going on.
And before he ran it, and this came from the UN, yes, this
is the United Nations the independence repertory this
will be the word of the day this would be this would be the
definitive the defense statement, you bet everyone
has some form of sexual orientation, in short, S O and
gender identity in short, G AI
so you got it, you got to write it down, John, you got your
pencil,
I better stuff you gotta start to clip over because I don't
want to miss any of this. Alright,
so remember, everybody has some kind of so
yeah, I would think so. And Gi,
everyone has some form of sexual orientation, in short, S Oh, and
gender identity. In short, G I. The former S O has an external
dimension. It indicates a person's sexual inclination and
feelings towards others. The letter g AI has an internal
dimension. It implies how a person's self identifies in
regard to his or her own gender, which may be different from the
gender assigned at birth. Even though human rights are inherent
to everyone, and propelled protection for all persons
without exception regressively persons with an actual or
perceived sexual orientation and or gender identity diverting
from the particular social norm, at times targeted for violence
and discrimination. Discrimination violations are
pervasive in numerous settings, killings, rapes, mutilation,
torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, lashings
abductions, arbitrary detention, harassment, physical and mental
assaults, bullying from a young age pressures leading to suicide
and discriminatory gestures and measures aggravated by
incitement to hatred in regard to S O ti, widespread on several
fronts.
Alright, so s Ogi is really what he's focusing on, and I didn't
know if it was just this is a guy. This is a guy. Yeah. So
it's like a woman. Yeah, well, I believe his S O is GA y. Okay,
and but s o gi. That is very important because this is
something we need to learn. There's also a pronunciation
guide,
international rights system has been strengthening the promotion
and protection of human rights without distinction. The
protection of persons on the basis of s o gi ASO GI and the
mandate of the independent expert, are based on
international law
Sogi JOHN SOBEY. So GIS so GIS so Gi is the new one Sogi. Then
I will hold on a second, what happened to LGBTQ q ia p. That
is gone, and it's going, I think it should piss a lot of people
off. And I just want to say he's going to talk more, especially
people
have already made and paid for their logos.
Yes. There is a lot of violence against Sogi. And I'm not making
light of that. Just last week, there was a transgendered woman
in Austin, who was raped and beaten with a hammer. So Oh,
yeah. Austin,
Austin Austin, your liberal capital. That doesn't happen.
Well, it does happen around here too, unfortunately.
Now, let's get into the familiar acronym and give it to you
straight and we're gonna have to disappoint some people some
cues.
First, Words are most sensitive under this mandate. The acronym
LGBT?
Oh, yeah. No, he has a report and a mandate and also mandate.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I got that for you.
First, Words are most sensitive under this mandate. The acronym
LGBT often appears in discussions and is closely
linked with this mandate. It stands for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender persons. The mandate will cover
intersex persons, namely, I In short, where there's a link with
S. o gi, while recognizing that the group has special features
not necessarily related to s o gi.
So it's LGBT i is the correct acronym according to United
Nations mandate. If you call yourself queer, get out. Get
out. Queer is no longer in the book. I find this very
insulting. I know people who identify as queer, and this is
the United Nations get their act
together.
The entry point for the mandate is action against violence and
discrimination. This is based on existing international risk law
and its interrelationship with ESCO Gi, there is no advocacy
from this mandate holder of new rights for particular groups.
So he has a mandate and the mandate, which we'll get to, in
a minute or two, that had some very specific things that must
happen. But he's saying, Oh, this, we're not really making
any special rights for any new people or anything like that. So
we do, it's all the same old, same old, but we got to take
some action.
Fifth, also important is the context specific nature of each
country and situation.
Let's talk about those countries. This is it's really
bad. It's really, really bad what's going on in the world.
And again, when you listen to this, just think about all the
people complaining about the current administration or just
the society in general. Wow, if you really care about LGBTI and
Sogi, you should be doing some work. Everyone should be doing
some work because it's a mess. There's
elements interrelate closely with the root causes and the
environment behind the violence and discrimination. I've called
them. There's underpinnings, such as a decriminalization of
consensual same sex relations, laws and policies which
criminalized consensual same sex relations are part of the
background environment, which leads to violence and
discrimination, discriminate, some 70 countries criminalize
same sex relations.
7070 commonly countries are there in the world. 170 Maybe
talk remember there is a number like 165 Yeah, 164 65
So 70 countries, criminalized criminalize it
with the criminalized here.
Until recently, oh, yeah, he mentioned this, which
leads to violence and discrimination. Some 70
countries criminalize same sex relations with particularly
impact on men who have sex with men, some 40 countries
criminalize same sex relations between women, particularly
those who have sex with women that should be celebrated. There
are also challenging implications related with
religious laws today, the effective anti discrimination
measures, many countries are still hampered by lack of or
insufficiency of anti discrimination measures. And
this is also linked with environment leading to violence
and discrimination. This is a longitudinal challenge. Starting
in the home, extending to the educational system, the
workplace and life beyond. The discrimination is also
intersectional and aggravating an aggravated and multiple in
its linkage with other issues such as race, poverty, migration
and other vulnerabilities. See, legal recognition of gender
identity. In many countries, transgender persons are not able
to have their self identified gender recognized by the state,
even with gender reassignment surgery, and have to go lifelong
abuses and discrimination. The fact of nonrecognition is
interlinked with environment leading to violence and
discrimination.
This is really bad for my Tourette's, because all I can
think of now is discrimination. Discrimination.
Di D stigmatization linked with D pathologize. ation, D,
pathologize. ation, this is a big one for me. What what is
what you think that means?
I haven't, I mean, I can deconstruct the word and kind of
figure out what it means in general, but I have no idea what
it means in her context, or his is
leading to violence and discrimination. D D,
stigmatization, linked with D pathologize. ation, stigma based
on S. O ti. And concomitantly violence and discrimination may
arise in a variety of situations, including in regard
to the medical sector. And this is this is linked with the issue
of pathologize ation, for example, until 1990, even at the
international level, homosexuals were regarded as mentally ill.
This exemplified that pathologizing approach, looking
at LGBTI regrettably, as some form of illness, mental order or
dysphoria. This approach is now being questioned increasingly.
Yeah,
and I think that people who really care about LGBTI Sogi
issues should really be looking at some other things. I think
we're doing pretty good here in the States. He does the mandate
does have the two more short clips that does have some ideas
of how we're going to change the world and
finally, F promotion of education and empathy
by promotion of education and empathy,
biases and prejudices tend to emerge from a young age, and it
is the lack of education and Ando awareness and understanding
which may feed the phobias and bigotry which underlie the
violence and discrimination. This is interlinked with both
the quality and accessibility of the educational spectrum, and
how to nurture kindness and empathy for s o gi, as an
inherent part of ourselves and others with due respect for
sexual and gender identity,
so you can just wait for all the educational materials to come
out mandated by the United Nations so that we are all make
sure that we're not to running afoul of what should be really
happening. And we do need some conclusions here.
In conclusion, I look forward to explore further, the various
underpinnings already mentioned. I also invite you please to to
reflect on and respond to the various recommendations in this
report, which vary from an encouragement to ratify human
rights treaties, and to apply them well, to the request to
collect is aggregated data to build checks and balances
against abuse of power, to work closely with the UN system to
promote protect human rights defenders and to shun violence
and discrimination. The preferred path to the future
must be that of building bridges, premised on prevention
of transgressions, okay? remediation, remediation
violations or remediation
of violations. I'll explain in a minute
participation of the concerned groups and protection of human
rights for all resonant with the universal colors of hope and
dignity as our shared horizon, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So this came down to a vote, because this was a mandate. And
it did not pass because of the 57 Strong Organization of
Islamic Cooperation, saying they do not recognize his mandate as
legitimate. Despite him being an external refer to her. I do have
I got his report, which you know, there's no clip of it. And
he says, countries that had, here we go. Countries have
objections to LGBT agenda, important to respond to them in
a measured and judicious way, bearing in mind the conductivity
with international standards, consistent, he calls for
censorship of dissenting views by Internet service providers
through takedown policies for homophobic and transphobic
messages, and for hate speech laws, industry codes of conduct
and CO regulation between the government and private sector. I
learned a lot from his speech, I find it very informative. I'm
really disappointed that this is what this is what is now being
proposed takedown policies, this is all speech, you may not like
it all
free speech issues yet, or you may not the irony, of course,
the irony, of course, is the same people that want that what
he proposes. Also, on the other side, here's what the irony is,
the Muslim majority countries voted this down, along with some
African countries, a lot of partial Muslim, because they've
done AI buying into this in a million years. It's not gonna
happen now. They're the same ones who want these free speech
restrictions when it comes to hate speech about them. Yeah, I
know. So we have a screwball use of hate speech, Ben, I want to
mention, and I do have a note to read from a reader which kind of
touches on some of this. Is that Katie Hopkins? Oh, one of my
favorite commentators on LBC. I think it was a month ago or so
she was fired. What? Yeah, this? Oh, god. She's done hate speech.
Because of hate speech. Yeah. Well, very hate
speech consisted of a tweet. It wasn't even on LBC, which is the
London cipher name of this radio station in London. It has a talk
shows all day. And it wasn't on the station. It was that she had
tweeted that. Well, we wouldn't have these these terrorist
attacks in England if there were no Muslims in the country. That
is hate speech. Yes. And
also known as just speech. Yes. It's actually just speech, aka
speech. Yeah.
I want to read something from one of our producers Duncan. All
right. Adam quest Adam. Adam question why the British are not
angry about the terrorist attacks. You did a couple
days ago. Well, they seem to be all like Oh, whoops. Carry on.
No, we are furious. Haha. Katie Hopkins has been sacked from LBC
and is under police investigation for her angry
reaction to the He attacks. The police have charged many people
for hate crimes on the social media, which has only inflame
the situation. Piers Morgan pointed about pointed out about
differential treatment of football hooligans and
terrorists on the clip you played last Thursday, and the
police emphasis on hate crimes, whilst 2300 potential terrorists
walk freely in the country, again, is only inflaming the
situation. The reason that Sadiq Khan loved by Londoners and
hated by the rest of the country focused on cost, he would cost
them policing I guess. He is a member of the Labour Party and
is tipped by the liberal elite to be the new leader of the
Labour Party. That's where he got it from. When Jeremy Corbyn
has been dispatched one of the attack lines in the election was
that during Theresa Mays tenure as Secretary interior manager,
she kept police members by 20,000. It's a bit disingenuous
as the issue is mi five obsession with solving every
crime by algorithms rather than Hill infiltrating the community
with real people, the algo will
fix it. Don't worry the algos. Algo was all encompassing.
The app goes on and on. And you just have a couple of little
tidbit at the end. I'd like to read the rest of this. It
appears as if the father of the Manchester bomber was an asset
for MI five, which would explain why in your recent security
service FBI I think alerted ours in February no action was taken
because presumably, they thought he was one of ours. No. I
thought that was kind of interesting. And then the only
other interesting thing was a report that most of the unit
there D bitches about the 23,000 people moan about the 23,000 and
all these terrorists 800 I guess it went over then it came back
in the roaming around right. Apparently during the Libyan
situation. Here it is. Sorted sorted by MI five how the UK
govern government, the UK Government sent the British
Libyans to fight Gadhafi. And then they came back. Yeah,
fighters say the government operated an open door policy
allowing them to join the rebels as authorities investigate the
background of the Manchester bombers. Hmm, because they
Libya, the British government operated an open door policy
that allowed the Libyan exiles and British Libyan citizens to
join in 2011, the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Qaddafi,
even though some had been subjected to counterterrorism
control orders. And it goes on. There's a mess over there.
Wow. I didn't know well, you know, to be fair, we were only
playing what we were given, you know, we do media
deconstruction. So it's not like I didn't believe that therapist
off Brits. But that's what the news is showing. Oh, he's having
a beer. You know, I didn't even spill my beer. Oh, he's gonna
have a beer with my friends, man. Who cares? They're not
gonna stop. Right? Yeah.
And I should mention that the two of us are just as
susceptible to the brainwashing propaganda if we can't get any
other source. Exactly. And I noticed that some of our
producer listeners, occasionally they drift off and they get
suckered. Or they start thinking, Well, I can do it
without the show. I don't need the show to tell me anything.
The thing about the show, and I want to emphasize this, because
this has gone on, we've done the show long enough that I've seen
this effect. Adam and I are both subjected to the same hoaxes
internet bullcrap, and everything else that goes on.
But because we do it, we do a kind of a competitive thing with
the two of us. We can always catch the other guy if he falls
Trip trap, or he falls prey to some hoax.
It's like, like a wingman.
We do it all. Exactly, exactly. We do it to each other all the
time. It's not that you noticing it on the show all the time. But
I'd say about three or four times a year one of us will
drift off and do some bull crap. And the other one will say
that's bullcrap. Exactly, it's hard to do that by yourself. If
you're by yourself, if you're by yourself, you will make the most
you will get your wished into Dimension B, and you'll never
get back. And and when you listen to this show you not only
you're not only not by yourself, because you have two of us, but
the two of us keep the tab on each other. So it's actually
three people that can maintain a kind of a solid view of the
universe of reality check and just emphasize,
I'd like to say that, you know, besides just the two of us, we
have listeners who send stuff in our producers, as we call them,
you know, mainstream media, do they even publish letters to the
editor? Like to change anything? Or do they just publish them,
give us a credit put on a page, let them complain over there.
That's why I read this letter is a good example. Perfect use
perfect example. Perfect example as true. And we appreciate and
we really appreciate that.
And I would not have gotten to the idea that Sadiq Khan would
become the next Labour leader of the Labour Party. I mean, it's
crazy.
No, no, it's par for the course man. par for the course. worse
just because I just kind of bumped into it, it was on the on
the Google blog. They have a new ad blocker for Chrome, or what
they call I'm sorry, filter, which is coming out. Have you
been reading up on this? Not at all.
We use Chrome. A lot. A lot of people do. Most people do.
Well, it's a coalition. It's the Coalition for better ads. And,
and what it is, they're coming up with a standard for ad
blocking. That is Google and face bag. Mainly. This is
so they get their ads. Yes, please. Yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, exactly. So they're going to put
in some bull crap thing where if you don't want to look at the
ads, you can, you can send money through the website, and then
still get through. But they are going to determine what a good
ad is. So this is very subjective. Personally, I don't
think ads that tell me that if I take this that I might die, or
have anal leakage, or both, is a good ad, you know, it's not a
good ad at all. And I would just appreciate if you gave me an ad
that I cared about, not the thing I just bought, which
again, that's that happens all the time. So be on the lookout
for the Coalition for better ads. I could think it's a
cartel. I think it should it should be illegal, honestly.
Sounds like it. Yeah.
But it won't be. And just, you can, you can wait for that to
happen. Better ads are in your future. Thanks to Google in the
face back here on the no agenda show ads? I don't think so. I'm
gonna
show my school by donate to no agenda.
I imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd
be fun.
We have a few people to thank, and I, the first one, which is
the top of the list. Here's Candice Harris. And she sent a
note and I guess we could have bumped her up. Because I think
we're gonna have for the rest of the year allow Canadians to
donate their native money, and we'll credit them for it. This
is a very nice idea. And also Australians. Yes, I'm glad
you're doing that. So we're taking a hit?
Well, we're taking the heat, we're not really taking a hit
we're taking because they're not going to send us more than
anyway. It's just that we did get more they're getting more
for the they're not even getting more for their money. 200 bucks
to a Canadian is the same as 200 bucks to an American, right?
It's 200 bucks. It's not like you're getting paid for
that's my point is my point is we're gonna let them be
associated for for $200 rents. So, but we're,
we're taking Canadian pesos.
That dollar X is better. I like dollarized Good. Well,
either one. I don't care. So let's start with this one, which
is Canada's hair. So we'll treat this as an as a social executive
producer. We'll put her on the list for as such, I've donated
over Canadian 200 which is unfortunately equal to us. 150
But we this might still be acceptable to earn my dad. Brett
Harris. Executive producer credit.
Okay, so with Brett Harrison there then. Yes. Okay. Associate
Executive Producer be exact. Okay. On a side note, this
donation is a Father's Day gift and is no way a sign of my Oh,
yeah, I just let her I had to read anyway, a side note. This
is I'm going to try to do her. On a side note, side note. This
donation is a Father's Day gift, and in no way is a sign of my
support for this show.
Okay, guys, I
think it's a terrible influence on my dad. He never shuts up
about political conspiracies now. And as a result, the family
can no longer turn on the news, discuss current events making
headlines or even think about using words like Clinton and
Obama around the house in fear that it might trigger another
lecture or rant beginning with, quote, well, according to no
agenda.
The bastions of truth the guardians of reality.
My dad did something about people pay he said my dad's did
mention something about people paying for D douching. Yes,
consider my donation request for one D douching. For each of you.
You've been D deuced.
And one for him. One more and she says sincerely the very
tired daughter of a diehard no agenda fan. What's
his first name again?
This is Brett Brett terrorists, right Harris. Okay. Well, he'll
be hearing that and Give me Well,
let me just tell you one thing. What a beautiful gift for a
daughter to give even though it is against her dimension. So
that I take as a very, very positive outcome of this one
more did you do

Okay, social justice today. Do you still receive broadcast and
cable magazine?
No. I look at I look at it online once in a while.
You should look at the great cover the ideal front page, Dear
White People do not adjust. But it says Dear White People do not
adjust the colors on your set. Diversity has arrived and
multicultural audiences are being served. Very nice. Yeah,
it's telling us Yeah, it's I don't know if they think that's
cool or funny, but it's racist. Totally racist, racist to do
that. I mean, it may be true. I'm fine. I don't care. I really
don't care. But to do I just hope they know it's racist. No,
they don't. They have no they totally tone deaf and they are
tone deaf. There you go. tone deaf. But CNN had a bit on a lot
just play this says Cuomo and his co host in the morning
trying to spur on a little bit of self moral lice, moral self
licensing, or what is the other one virtue? Virtue signaling
signaling virtue signaling since
the election the Southern Poverty Law Center has tracked
more than 700 hate incidents. But Muslim women say a year ago
their sense of safety began to change after this picture of San
Bernardino killer to spin Malik when public for what
they're saying. You remember that picture of the two of them?
The selfie after Malika ish apparently shot up everybody in
the nightclub. And no, was it? No, it was not that not the
picture in the airport with a tool. It was a picture of the
two within the
airport. They were the ones who shot up the government party,
the government building Yeah, that got to that point there
with their work. mates Shut up their workmates, people they've
worked with.
And and this woman is claiming that since then, discrimination
is just off the hook. She can't even pray in public has to stay
home. But CNN has a solution.
Like, go ahead was saying you know, I met the airport I met
Samaras SFO, and some guy gets off the elevator in the parking
lot and throws down a prayer mat and goes into it. Yeah. Say
anything to him. It was supposed to, you know, it's kind of
interesting. And guys like that religious kind of something. You
have to kind of admire I think I've seen
it happen in airplanes where they where people get into the
aisle and throw down their mat and start praying.
I haven't seen that. Oh, yeah. Oh, but on your seat belt gets I
guess ah slave
and see election, the Southern Poverty Law Center has tracked
more than 700 hate incidents. But Muslim women say a year ago,
their sense of safety began to change after this picture of San
Bernardino killer Tashfeen Malik when public after that people
started to see us differently. Muslim women began taking self
defense classes driven by fear the only places where Abu Ghani
feels free to express that part of Islam is in the privacy of
our apartment and her mosque. To the incoming Trump
administration, this young Muslim woman has this message
when you hold that kind of position. And you think it is
okay to make these racist Islamophobic sexist statements.
Really. I can't believe that a news organization allows this on
the air. Now it's really pretty blatant accusations. But that
again, they have a solution make
these racist Islamophobic sexist statements. There are people
unfortunately, as crazy as they are, who look up to you, and
they will follow you. And they will act out in response to what
you're saying. It's an interesting
story. And maybe there'll be a movement where people wear the
headscarf in solidarity. You know, even if you're not Muslim,
maybe it's the way people shave their head, you know, sometimes
in solidarity with somebody who's going through something,
maybe you'll see a wave of the opposite.
I'm gonna do it. I'm all in. I'm gonna wear a headscarf. You
know, like I wear a headscarf because some dumb fuck on TV
tells me to.
There it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen note the time the
John C. Dvorak F bomb of the day. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna
try it.
Yeah, you. You'd actually make sure to get a couple pictures
and put it in the newsletter because you would look like a
charmer with a heads.
I will look fabulous. No doubt about it. And see what else do
we have happen?
I got a couple of things. Let's get these out of the way then.
Let's catch up with exam. Well let's here's the reality winner
update. Let's keep where she is. So we know that
federal contract employee charged with leaking classified
information will stay in jail until her trial reality winner
was denied bond yesterday in Georgia. Prosecutors warned that
she might have taken other classified documents. Not only
not don't they be they know she should have done that. Not only
that, but she she wanted she wrote in her journal that she
wanted to blow up the White House which she got from
Madonna.
It should be picking up Madonna that would do everyone a favor.
Let's play the CD I want to get kind of catch up with some
things. Here's the war in Afghanistan update and I have a
question for you.
And I'm Don Taylor. This is our western edition. Three US
soldiers were killed today and at least one wounded fighting
America's longest war. It was apparently an insider attack in
eastern Afghanistan. An Afghan Army soldier opened fire on the
Americans before he was killed. The US casualties have not been
identified. The Taliban is claiming responsibility
releasing this photo of the man they say was the gunman. The
attack comes as the Trump administration is considering
sending more troops to Afghanistan to help in the fight
against the Taliban al Qaeda, ISIS and affiliated terror
groups. Since 2001. More than 2200 US troops have died in
Afghanistan, more than 20,000 have been wounded. The 16 year
war has cost American taxpayers more than $800 billion. We're
number one.
So the question to you is what have we accomplished what 14
years and $800 billion, by the way, $800 billion that could
have been spent fixing the roads of the United States. It's
almost a trillion dollars, probably a trillion. Also, if
you could have cleaned San Francisco streets of all poop,
there wouldn't be any poop.
What have we accomplished? What have we accomplished? What have
we He accomplished what is the point of his being there in the
first place?
three commissioners, three things I can tell you what they
are.
Well, okay, but I know what they are too. But I'm going to go for
ask more questions after you tell me the three you have on
your list.
Number one, the poppies. Number two, the Unocal pipeline, and
number three, the minerals
the Unocal pipeline could be there without us being there.
Well,
you need minerals. You need a pipeline protection.
You don't you can do pipeline protection and other ways and
having we do drones way you tell me we joined $800 billion to
protect as
well. Hold on, Jim. That's doable. Yeah, it's different to
say it's a gyp we know what a toilet seat costs at the
Pentagon. But that's what it has accomplished. And we're number
one,
it has accomplished nothing and the puppies, the puppies are
ruining this country. We're getting too much heroin and
other drugs in here and as encouraged with the whole, the
whole roundabout thing with this, the fentanyl King and all
the rest of this stuff going on. It's ridiculous. We got the
country on drug debt, we lost 2000 soldiers and 20,000 injured
$800 billion that could be better spent and the minerals.
You mentioned the minerals. What are we doing about the minerals?
We've been there? 14 years, we haven't extracted anything?
Oh, that's lame.
We've got to stop the stupid wars, wasting our money.
But that would ruin our economy because we run on war and screw
you and
a callus pipeline.
It is but that's if you look at all the bases, certainly in
Russia Waziristan down near the Pakistani border where we have
the drones that's pipeline protection. That's why the no
one's gonna sit there and and sit in front of a pipeline. We
have drones. Hey, you jihadi towelhead. That's what we do.
We, we help extract and we help protect, to extract and protect
Jip. It's too much money. Unocal should be picking up the tab on
this thing.
Well, I got a clip here, just speaking about our economy of
maybe the world economy, you have predicted that we got a big
one common. We got a whopper Whopper. It's a cycle. And Jim
Rogers concurs with you and he was on I think it was Business
Insider. And I'd like to share his his thinking about what is
going to happen in the next year,
what what's going to happen? Is this going to continue some
stocks in America turning into a bubble, the bubble is going to
come, then it's going to collapse. And you should be very
worried. So when is this going to happen later this year or
next later this year? And write it down? And what will trigger
it? Well, it's interesting because these things always
start where we're not looking. In 2007, Iceland went broke. And
people said Iceland is that a country, they have a market. And
then Ireland went broke, and then Bear Stearns went broke.
And then you know, Lehman Brothers went broke, they said,
they spiral like, that always happens, we're not looking, I
don't know, it could be an American pension plan that goes
broke, and many of them are broke, as you know, it could be
some country we're not watching. It could be all sorts of things.
To be war, unlikely to be war, but it's going to be something
and how big a crash could we be looking at can be the worst in
your lifetime? That's a pretty big one. It's gonna be the
biggest hit of my lifetime. And I'm older than you know, it's
going to be serious stuff. It's going to be we've had financial
problems in America, let's use America, every four to seven
years since the beginning of the Republic, while it's been over
eight, is that
true every four to seven years since the beginning of the
Republic?
Well, not really. We've had long periods where it's not every
what you say four to seven. That's what he said every
four to seven years.
I think it is ups and downs. But I'd be maybe, maybe, I think,
from my look at the cycles, I think he may be exaggerating a
little bit
every four to seven years since the beginning of the Republic.
While it's been over eight since the last one. This is the
longest or the second longest in recorded history. So it's
coming. And the next time it comes. You know, in 2008, we had
a problem because of debt. Henry, the debt. Now, that debt
was nothing compared to what's happening now. In 2008. The
Chinese had a lot of money saved for a rainy day. It started
writing they started spending the money. Now even the Chinese
have debt, and the debt is so much higher than Federal
Reserve's central bank in America. Balance Sheet is up
over five times since 2008. It's gonna be the worst and you're
the worst in my lifetime to be worried.
I am worried Good. Good. Hey, In the Fed rescue, can anybody
rescue
they will try, they will, they will, what's going to happen is
they're going to raise interest rate some more, then when things
started going really bad people are going to call and say, You
must save me is Western civilization is going to
collapse. And the Fed who is made up of bureaucrats and
politicians will say, Oh, I better do something. So they
will try, but it won't work. It will cause some rallies, but it
won't work. This time, you're going to see governments fail,
you're going to see countries fail, this time around Iceland
failed last time, but other countries fail, you're going to
see more of that, you're going to see parties disappear, you're
going to see institutions that have been around for a long
time, Lehman Brothers had been around over 150 years, God, not
even a memory for most people that you're gonna see a lot more
of that next time around, whether it's museums or
hospitals or universities or financial firms.
Horowitz just texted me. Rodgers has predicted a collapse every
year for the past seven years.
Exactly. I've very high fall risk. He doesn't even live in
the United he lives in Asia, Singapore, or Malaysia, or
someplace fancy if you had a fancy, fancy thing going on.
Anyway, he Yes. But I think he's generally right. But a couple of
things, at least from my perspective of studying this,
and talking about like, you know, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, is
if if this was, you know, it's not going to be a pleasant
experience. But if it's good, I think, which is it's a fractal
of 1857 economic depression, which by many accounts from that
era, claimed it was the first, the first true depression in the
United States, as opposed to these little skirmishes called
panics that came and went. The reason there's, everything's
analogous to the 1857 collapse, which means printing money and a
gold infusion into the economy back then. It's about 1/3 is bad
in terms of throwing printing money as it was in 1857, when
all this gold was injected into the economy, about $15 trillion
worth. So I think it'd be about 1/3 is bad. I think it's just
gonna be like 1937, maybe the Euro I remembered well, year and
a half of bad times. And that's going to be it. It's not going
to be as bad as he makes it sound like the whole world's
coming to an end. This is ridiculous.
The idea is, donate and donate often. Because it's coming.
Well, usually, yes. Well, yeah, absolutely. should donate often.
Yeah. That's gonna be it's gonna be problematic.
We, you know, it, it usually affects about a third of the
public really badly the two thirds about these things. The
podcasters get by because getting by anyway. And I think,
you know, it'll probably cut into our, our cash flow, but I
think, you know, should be okay, we stopped.
I hope so. I hope so. It'll show us how good our model is. Well,
there is a way out potentially. I got more details on Apple's
new podcast app, and what it will do, and I'm very
pronounced, yeah,
you go. Okay. Well, then I have something to ask you. Okay.
According to comic strip blogger. The new podcast app
requires a 3000 by 3000 image.
Yes, we already do that. I've been doing that for six months.
3000 by 3000. Use blow up to 512 by 512. Us.
That's what I've been doing. Yeah.
Just all pixelated. It's gotta be a mess. Yeah.
This was a you know, that decision was made. Funny enough.
And when we had the podcasters meeting at Lance Armstrong's
house and the apple guys were there. I said, what what do
y'all think, you know, 3000 3000 for the art, which I don't give
a crap, I'll do it. I'll just blow it up. Whatever you guys
want to do. That's one of the that was always been one of the
standards for them for highlighting if you want to be
on their homepage, there has to be that size specifically.
That's
ridiculous. The no screen can even maintain an
image that size no idea why they want it. But let me tell you
what it'd be
like about I think 512 is fine. I think it's a good size for an
image on the screen. What are they gonna do it projected on a
billboard? Yeah, maybe you need a little more resolution.
I gotta tell you I'm well, we'll talk about my my apple issues in
a minute. But here's what's going to happen with a new
podcast app. And you know, whether you like it or not,
Apple does pull the cart. They are the ones that have the
easiest subscription method they have. You know, just look
sometimes we'd looked at our server stats. Its main, the
main, certainly mobile client is iPhone. Yep. So here are the
changes that are coming and First big fan of this but
they're doing something they're doing something legal. They're
they're expanding their namespace which is legal under
RSS 2.0. And it's going to include specifications to
allowed podcast to define individual seasons, and explain
whether an episode is a teaser, a full episode or bonus content.
These extensions will be read by the podcast app and used to
present a podcast in a richer way than the current more linear
approach. So that way, I guess you can you can say, Oh, here's
the season one of cereal. That's what it's made for. Pretty much.
I'm sure. NPR pushed that. But here's the good. Here's the
thing. I'm very excited. So
I see the premium content is also used.
Yes. Same idea. Get freemium. But freemium. Yeah, they are
going to open up to podcasters in Episode analytics. Which
means so all these people all get a million listeners 300
million downloads, with great advertising our podcast, no, no,
no, here's what's gonna happen. It will be using anonymized data
from the app to show podcasters how many people are listening,
where in the app people are stopping or skipping.
They can do that. Sure they can.
But only for the Apple podcast app.
That's streaming though, it's only streaming No, no, no, no,
no, no, no way. They can't do that.
No, it's not only it's not luck. Get off of that I know what
you're talking about. But when you hit play, whether it's
streaming or it's downloaded, that is registered in the app,
you have, you will have to go into Apple to get these
statistics. But this is going to become the norm. This is how it
works. Because you can say, all right, it's just a sample, but
it's probably the biggest sample of any player. And advertisers
are going to say show me your apple stats, and you're all
going to be fucked you mainstream douchebags because
you've been lying about your numbers. Lying. And it will be
very interesting to watch what happens with podcast advertisers
agree with that.
It's gonna be very interesting. And personally, I'm very excited
because you and I can see exactly what's going on and not
have to share it with anybody.
Yeah, we don't have to tell advertisers hey, look, we've got
millions and millions of listeners,
it's gonna I guarantee you this is going to ruin some careers.
We'll see. I can imagine it being if I'm an average lot of
these advertisers seem to be pretty lacs about, you know,
getting scammed. Which is why we promote this model, because we
don't we're not cheating anybody?
No, certainly not. I don't even know how many people this it'll
be interesting to find out.
I don't know. It's a good number. It's obviously a good
number. We don't really know.
But we don't know. We just really don't There is no way to
accurately or even semi accurately determine that anyone
who tells you they do are liars.
But you can reverse engineer and get within 150,000. No, I
disagree. So within 150,000
Totally disagree. You cannot come up with those numbers. No.
Okay. Well, I'll come up with some reverse engineered numbers,
and then we'll compare it to the real numbers. But
I'm FTP in the log files to you. No.
No, no, I go by none. And I said the way I do it. I do it by
reverse engineering the donations? Yes. Okay. I got you.
Because there's so many people are going to donate under any
under whatever circumstances, using old models that are used
in direct marketing, you can kind of figure out how many
people are listening. Now, if you're way off one way or the
other, it can have some implications. But generally
speaking, I think most of our listeners don't donate. I agree.
And I by most I mean most
too bad. It's anonymized data. And we can't just like, you
know, the or if you're up we know Yeah, hey, hey, it's Adam.
Hey, Bill. Alright. Hello. Hi, it's Adam curry. Hey, how you
doing? What? Hey, hi, it's Adam curry, your guardian of reality?
Hey, listen, we've noticed that you've been listening to the
show for about 10 years, donated about no agenda got your
personal dishes. Right. Faster. Here's what I'm working on cars.
There were some other things that happened during this Comey
frokost. Well, we had a couple airstrikes against the Syrian
Government what wasn't reported? See, we have a repeal of Dodd
Frank, which I'm reading currently. We have what else do
we have? Well, there was the explosion of the US Embassy in
Ukraine also not really discussed. So I'm working on
some of that for for Thursday show.
Well, I got a couple Other things I got one that I want to
finish with, but I do want to mention something that's kind of
interesting to our listeners, which is I got another robot
call. I didn't. Unfortunately, it wasn't ready. Oh gee, but I
have to give these guys some credit. It was a robot and she
sounds just like a person. But when you asked her if she's a
robot, there's a long pause. It's like, way too long. And
then she comes back and she says some bull crap about well, we
use high technology, but I've ever said, Well, that means you
are a robot. long pause and she comes back with some other
nonsense. Hey, you stumped the algo. But the interesting thing,
unlike the other previous calls, which are kind of creepy,
because they had that, what is it called wacky Kenny, whatever
it is that thing where you try to be like, you try to act human
in a cartoon style, and it always has some creepy about it.
This is the older version was creepier. What are you talking
about? It's called crazy. Somebody in the chat room window
is called crazy values. It's a term that's used to describe
people trying to do computer reproduction of humans and then
they don't move and round white right is guts. I'll get you the
name of next show if I can, if somebody doesn't come up with
it. Anyway, uncanny valley, Kenny
Valley. Are you reading in the chat room?
No, it's just what I said. Oh, anyway, so no, I'm not. So
here's the deal. It was kind of Uncanny Valley when I first
heard this robot this time. It was covered up by boiler room
sound effect. To make it sound was in a boiler room. Nice. I
was very impressed by that. So instead of just the lone robot
talking to me when the silence and so when every time she went
silent and went dead silent, like you know, creepy, seedy,
super silent is just noise. It's a bunch of racket going on, like
a bunch of people talking in the background. Well, dynamite
improvement
you've used. Have you seen all the Watson commercials? And it's
not like we didn't predict this? Right. I hate these commercials.
God the talking box. Yeah. And I hear and I am
still learning. I'm still learning.
Yeah, I read I read a lot of the, you know, the it dude named
Ben dudettes. Name Bernadette blogs. And so really, it's an
SDK into Watson. It's apparently it's really problematic to
integrate it into anything. And it's, you know, it's just it's
not it's great marketing is what it is. Oh, yeah. Well, IBM has
always been pretty good. You could tell your board you know,
we got Watson on the case. Don't worry, Watson. Watson Watson
hitman. Yeah, I need that. It does someone have the
computerized Watson voice. I'm sure someone has a version of
it.
Oh, we need that. I'd love to have that. Yeah, it's probably
some guy. Anyway, I got one last clip. Because I would just about
something you might know about.
If that's the last clip, let me do a shorty before. Because
German isn't that good? It just surfaced. It's Seth Rich.
Talking to the I guess the DNC or the DNCC about ballot
integrity.
US Excuse me, sir threat with the DNC. I think celery was
spoken about provisional ballot ballots and rejected ballots. I
guess we've looked at as an outside practitioner with a
vested interest in training our voters how do we get better
access to data that tells us why ballots are rejected why ballots
are cast as provisional so that we can analyze that and then
develop better training guides
their answer
Yeah, good one good punch. Finished with that. So this this
is a clip. I want you to discuss if you have any knowledge of it
or what's going on but listen to this. This is about privatizing
air traffic control in the United States
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has appeared before the US
Senate Commerce Committee this week to answer questions about
the Trump administration's proposal to privatize air
traffic control in the United States. President Trump has
described the current air traffic control situation in
America as quote, horrible and broken, adding that the way to
fix it is by transferring some of the responsibilities to a
private organization. Joining me now with the latest is boom bust
correspondent memo Rob Hello, Manning. Let's start with the
proposal itself. This is the first time we're hearing the US
transportation secretary outline this plan what what did she
outline? What were the details of this?
Sure. And up until now, when we heard that initial announcement
by President Trump, it was very vague as as he tends to be
calling the system broken, saying that for once the flights
are going to be on time, that sort of thing. Thankfully,
Secretary Chao did speak for the Commerce Committee this week
actually giving the details of that plan outlining exactly what
it is. And privatization of air traffic control, by the way is
not a new concept. This is something that airlines I have
been prioritizing I've been pushing for since the 80s and
90s. And, and lawmakers as well have also attempted and making
this a possibility, but it's never actually been adopted. So
I'm going to play you a clip from Secretary Chao talking
exactly about what the privatization plan is all about.
This administration has taken a bold step and join many of our
counterparts worldwide, by separating air traffic control
operations from the safety oversight functions of the FAA.
this administration's proposal will create a separate, non
governmental, nonprofit cooperative, to operate our
country's air traffic control system, the new entity will be a
fully capitalized, financially self sustaining entity funded by
users of its services.
So the reason that we're that we're seeing this sort of
momentum behind the privatization idea right now is
because existing next generation technologies that pilots and
airlines rely on for for commercial air travel, it
already exists, just it's too slow to catch on. It's not being
implemented fast enough. Bullshit.
All right, I'll give you the answer. Yes, I do know about
this. And we just didn't get to it because of all the other
stuff. This is not about the privatization, but the nonprofit
and, you know, partnership, and they really are not telling us
what it is, but it'll be a public private partnership. And
the reason is the systems in place that the FAA uses, which I
think are okay, that are this is just marketing, oh, you'll it'll
be cheaper, you'll be on time, all this stuff. It is just a
ploy because the current FAA, the administration is not able
to implement the Next Gen system. And this I have a huge
problem with. We've discussed it on the show, you can go to
search that na shownotes.com Or maybe the no agenda player has
one of the episodes. The next gen is this crazy bureaucratic
dude named Ben dream, that we can automate everything. And
eventually you won't even need a pilot you don't need air traffic
controllers and all be your planes will be talking to each
other. It's going to be a disaster. Look, hear me now
believe me later. I went when my I reboot my router before every
show, the whole house goes haywire. All the Sonos has
disconnected the nest turns it up to 75. You have to go back
and tell it to go down again. This is not this is not going to
end well. This dream of all you know we don't need the stupid
pilots who are you know, half of them are jihadi, they're gonna
kill us or they're drunk or whatever. Good luck. Good luck
with that. Good luck with that next gen is crap in my humble
opinion. And that's
why I asked Yes.
And that's what this is about. It's not about how it's being
financed. It's about bringing in the computers bringing in the
algos. You know, the same ones that show me ads of stuff that
stuff I just bought just bought two minutes ago. Yeah. Oh, it's
still showing me this little magnetic phone mount. Thanks,
Amazon.
And thanks. Thanks, Obama.
Exactly. Thanks, Obama. Alright, everybody. That is it for our
program for today. And we will return on Thursday. Obviously,
you never know what can happen. In the meantime, things do seem
to happen these days and you'll happen something will happen
somewhere and you're guardians of reality. We'll be right on
top of it as usual. Please remember to support us at
