What is short? Adam curry? John C Dvorak.
It's Thursday, June 15 2017. This is your award winning get
donation media assassination episode nine or three, eight.
This
is no agenda, calling for
mandatory and Mykola measurements and broadcasting
live from the darkest corners of the capital, the drone Star
State, no clue do in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I have no such measurement
tools. And it's obvious. I'm John C. Dvorak
and Buzzkill.
That was the first thing I thought I want to measure that
guy's amygdala.
Guy you're referring to
the guy who shot everybody? Oh,
that guy. Yeah, well, yeah, make the lowest was obviously
bloated,
we're thinking about we need, it would be great to have an
autopsy. And you know, they're doing an autopsy. And hey, just
check that thing. It should be on the list all the time. This
is this, this this that you turned me on to something really
big with this stuff?
I think you're absolutely correct. I think the amygdala
should be exhumed from the brain as weighed. Yeah.
But just for people who haven't? Who missed this. What was your
topic? John, give us a quick recap of the amygdala?
Well, it turns out that people who are starting to read too
much of the of the mainstream media that get that creates a
lot of cognitive dissonance and hate. And we were pointing the
finger at CNN, and
oh, no, wait, well, every time Oh, yeah, they've been on so
many times lately. We have to bring the jingle waffle is out
of control.
tends to roll you ended up shrinking your cerebral cerebral
cortex. And that which is the front of the brain that does a
lot of reasoning. And the amygdala, which is like the
reptilian brain gets bigger, and you end up like this guy. You
know, there's like, kill all Republicans blog and all these
other things he was involved
with. And
yeah, I do have a couple of background is because it was
kind of interesting. And
I got some stuff too. You know, of course, we deconstruct media,
the response from the media was predictable.
Well, if you want to go there, I can almost start with. Let's see
your background or your background. Your background is
on CBS. So let's play the CBS background and give us a little
insight into this thing.
We don't know about the gunman's mental health, but it appears
that his fans, what has become the incendiary rhetoric of
American politics. Oh,
I loved this part the best. All the media are saying it's the
politicians, the politicians are saying this media.
Here's Major Garrett.
We do well, in times like these to remember that everyone who
serves in our nation's capitol is here because, above all, they
love our country.
Thank you. Democrats both called for civility today. Democrat
Nancy Pelosi
and we respect you and your constituents who sent you here,
but partisan Unity has been lacking for years. Hillary
Clinton is a bigot. During the campaign, then candidate Trump
used incendiary language. opponent Hillary Clinton. She
was fun. She in turn called Trump supporters deplorable.
The racist sexist homophobic
xenophobic.
The heated rhetoric has continued since President
Trump's inauguration. Comedian Kathy Griffin posed for this
photo posted on social media depicting a decapitated
President Trump and in New York City production of Julius Caesar
casted the assassinated emperor as a Trump lookalike. Shortly
after the shooting. New York Republican Congressman Chris
Collins pointed the finger at Democrats.
I can only hope that the Democrats do tone down the
rhetoric. The rhetoric has been outrageous and the anger
directed at Donald
Trump. But later he said the fault lies with both sides. And
I think all
of us can be illiterate little introspective. Now I will be I
can promise you to just say let's let's just notch it down,
you know, a
couple of decibels
as law enforcement tried to learn if there was distinct
political mode motive behind the shooting voices here and in
Congress said no political grievance could justify violence
and the harrowing aftermath of all this got Republicans and
Democrats appear inclined to cool the rhetoric and ease the
sense of division.
It wouldn't be prudent, I think at this moment to take us back
in time to just listen to a similar situation. Hold on, let
me get it was take us back to 2011. Remember this 2011?
No
need to do it. But I do remember what was in the news because we
were doing the show
President Obama has called for a National Moment of silence at
11am. Eastern Time. The Supreme Court will begin arguments 10
minutes early so we can observe that moment. And Congress has
delayed its agenda this
week to think that she was shot out trying to meet with her
constituents, points out vulnerability.
So instead of the planned vote to repeal health care reform,
the house will convene this week to pass a resolution honoring
Gabrielle Giffords and other victims, a show of unity After a
heated political season. Last spring, Sarah Palin called for
defeat in Giffords district and 19. Others don't retreat reload.
And that is
the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun site
over our district. And when people do that, they've got to
realize there's consequences to that action.
Members of Congress say this is a reminder that words carry real
weight.
I think it's a good time for all of us to reflect about the tone,
the toxicity of the political climate in this country.
And on Wednesday, there will be a bipartisan security briefing
for lawmakers on Capitol Hill as they try to balance how to be
accessible to constituents while remaining safe themselves
how quickly we forget that the media immediately jumped on on
the Republicans for that shooting. Yeah, immediately,
immediately. Yeah.
Fact. And, in fact, in this last little presentation at CBS did
they did this what you heard when I wouldn't be played it was
the second part. I just want to play this little mini clip. This
is the kind of little needling they still persist in doing this
was to go back to 2017. Otherwise this is the this is
just a way that they would Trump was even mentioned this the
shooter CBS little needle on Trump when introduced,
and often polarizing President delivered a message of unity.
And often polarized. What what is the point of saying that?
Yeah, but
he sucks. He sucks. It's like, why don't
I just say he delivered a message of unity but no, no, no.
Now you can add a little bit in there and often polarizing why
don't they go and often polarizing guy with a big with a
big redhead and I mean, why don't they just
say that orange skin? Yeah, yeah. Before orange skin freak.
So this took place in the morning, but it was still
breaking news by the time broke got on the air. And boy did he
protect everybody. James Hodgkinson,
the 66 year old shooter describing some of his political
perhaps motivations, listen to this.
I just want to let people know that he wasn't evil. That he
was, I guess, tired of some of the politics of going on?
No, yeah, he wasn't evil, or this one brawl.
But you don't know if that individual asked if the team
players, the members were Republicans or Democrats. You
don't know if that actually turned out to be the shooter.
That's right. That right now just could have been somebody
saying Democrats and Republicans could have a question about
a big game tomorrow. That was just an innocent question. You
don't know. You don't know what he did know. You don't know. You
don't know could be anything.
I'm giving you a clip of the day for that. That's how stunning
that is.
Thank you very clear. I had to catch that was hard to catch.
Because
that was a beauty to catch. I have to say because I had not. I
mean, it was pretty obvious that the congressmen that were
leaving there were a couple guys leaving that's what happened.
This guy walks up to me says who's on that field of
Democrats, the Republicans against the Republicans there he
says okay, and he goes and shoots him. Yeah, but according
to brawl, dig was no positive identification. It wasn't in a
lineup It was no police in terror.
We don't know we don't know.
Oh my God and
I will say that the New York Times I'm gonna see when did
they publish this? The New York Times had published the
something about these games and about the details that are the
security detail that protect them. This was April 12. Okay,
not that long ago. In a city obsessed with the trappings of
power. They are the ultimate status symbol the wire wearing
black SUV driving protective crews that come with some high
level government service. And they say but when the
billionaire Wilbur l Ross Jr. The Commerce Secretary Goes to
Dinner at a fancy Georgetown restaurant bodyguard sitting at
nearby when members of Congress practice in the early mornings
and in Alexandria, Virginia public park for the
congressional baseball game with a link playing close United
States Capitol Police are sitting there in their black
SUV. Hey, my little just told them exactly where they're
sitting. Now, not always that good New York Times.
Yeah. What is the point of that article?
Just about elitist, I guess,
I guess what was well, the one clip I have that I thought was
interesting clip they had to two managers, two congressmen, were
managing the managers of the team to manage the database.
Yeah, so the team, so they had the Republican the Democrat
down, the Republican guy actually starts crying during
their interview with with Judy on PBS. But the way this the way
this ends, this is the end of it, I don't have the whole
thing. This is the the two team managers lament shooting, this
is the very end of the interview. And the Republican
starts apologizing for crying, and then the other guy kind of
jumps into the Democrat jumps in. And he's the one who brings
up a very interesting topic, and he's the one who blames the
media. But I
think it's fair to say it doesn't always come across in
the news coverage.
Politics and Washington's a context for it. But it shouldn't
be a personal animosity sport. And with Mike and, and a lot of
other members. It's not, I do want to apologize for getting
emotional a minute ago, you know, Tom Hanks was, was a
manager of a women's baseball team. And in that movie, he has
a famous line, there's no crying in baseball. Well, there
certainly shouldn't be any crying and congressional
baseball. And I do apologize for my emotional outburst a minute
ago,
I would say there's lots of members of Congress that get
along, we tend to not be the ones the media is interested in
interviewing. Oftentimes, the media is interested in
interviewing the two that are throwing the swords at each
other. So maybe the news media too, can reflect a little bit on
that. And show some of the positive things that take place
down here. And that's something for us to reflect on. While we
so appreciate the two of you being together right now and no
apology needed.
There was a lot of that. But yes, we need to look in the
mirror. Yes, you need to reflect we need to reflect on this.
Yeah. So they were done reflecting? Well, we'll get a
couple more I have a couple minutes later, the only person
who really said what he what he thought about it was Newt
Gingrich, and I do appreciate that he did that.
What do you make of what you're
very sobering, I think, first of all, we should be very grateful
that nobody on the congressional side was killed, nobody working
for Congress was killed. I think our prayers are to go out for
Steve Scalise and his family and for the police and the other
person who was wounded. A second. It certainly was a shock
this morning. I don't think any of us expected today to take
this turn. But it's part of a pattern as you saw the one sign
this guy was holding. You've had an increasing intensity of
hostility on the left. I look I talked to college students
regularly, who to say to me, if they openly are for Trump, they
get threatened. of average college students are threatened
with getting beaten up that some of them get death threats. We
had the intensity on the left is very real, whether it is
somebody holding up a so called comedian holding up the
president's head in blood, or it's that right here in New York
City, a play that shows the President being assassinated, or
its its democratic leading national politicians who are so
angry they can't eat they have to use vulgarity, because they
can't find any common language to toughen speakers intensity
has been building things since election night,
and it didn't take very long before people started turning
the conversation towards gardens. Malcolm I was hearing
LIS this by the way this Malcolm Nance he's the guy that tweeted
that he would not I should look up his actual words, but he
tweeted a picture of Trump Tower Tada. Yeah, this is where we
should have an IED or maybe ISIS should attack.
This guy, Malcolm, I was hearing listening to your analysis
during the tail end of the 9am hour before we started the 10am
hour east coast. We now know a lot more about this now deceased
gunman as a weapon he perhaps used and what what are you most
curious about now? Well, I'm
most curious about whether the type of attack that he carried
out was whether it was focused on Steve Scalise? Was it a
particular methodology that was leading up to an assassination
attempt? Or was it just generically a political attack
against people he saw his opponents as the picture is
becoming a little clearer as information gets confirmed about
the individual but it doesn't matter because this was an
attack on our representative democracy attacked our
representatives, whether Republican or Democrat. So the
most important thing that we need to understand from this is
this is what happens when you have a you know, an over
proliferation of guns and And to be expected to a certain extent.
Here's your here's Nance. Here's Nance. NBC terrorism analyst
Malcom Nance has deleted a tweet a tweet that appeared for to
call for a terrorist attack against Trump Towers in Istanbul
quote, This is my nominee for the first ISIS suicide bombing
of a of a Trump property. By the way, the way he worded that he
this is his nominee for the first. So in other words, he's
advocating Trump. He says,
very nice, how and that was yours that
how endearing he's the guy you want.
Interestingly, there was a house hearing scheduled for the same
day to debate the sportsmen heritage and recreational
Enhancement Act, which is a lot of words, but it's actually
loosening some regulations on suppressors and other things for
gun. So that's just a coincidence, I'm sure. But that
obviously got canceled. What was funny was the governor of
Virginia, who made a huge flub, you may have heard it. But what
I thought was more interesting is how the press seriously asked
instead of saying, Hey, man, you probably mean this. No, no,
I think we need to do more to protect all of our citizens, I
have long advocated. This is not what today is about. But there
are too many guns on the street. We lose 93 million Americans a
day. Long talks about this day on check shutting down gun,
he'll double down on it show loopholes. That's not for
today's discussion. But it's not just about politicians. We worry
about this everyday for all of our citizens. At this time, so
at this point, the press hasn't really heard him say 93 million,
they're not listening. They're only listening to themselves.
What is he? What is the 93 million that you have to do any?
I mean, what is that number referring to? Because it's not
93 million a year now what is not 93 million a decade? He's
40,000 a year he will answer the question that you're bringing up
at this time?
Well, I'm talking about this every single day. This is a very
serious issue. So we've got to look at this, but I'm not gonna
get anywhere near the investigation. The FBI is
leading this. But this obviously with 93 million people a day,
it's just 3 billion. That's a big number. You should have
93,000,093
I love that. Hey, are you sure it's 93 million. That's a big
number. That's a really big number. Today, it's just 3
million. That's a big number.
You should have 93,000,093 individuals a day.
Oh, 93 a day. Okay. But he's so used to exaggerating and lying.
But but there's two theories forever for them to notice.
Yeah, I know because they're not they don't care listening. Now
they're not. There are two theories. Theory one brought to
us by both one of his guests
ravens against Steve Scalise, the Republican Majority Whip,
but you didn't you don't believe he was deliberately targeting
him?
It would be pure speculation on my part. I think this man is
obviously mentally deranged. He had no regard for humanity I
what I was watching was a person a robot, firing a weapon without
regard for anything any life nothing.
But thinking MK Ultra robot Right? Was it like a robot. And
of course the pizza gators are out one of America's greatest
values is our strong belief. In the end, this is this is the
Congressman's PSA against child abuse and sex trafficking one of
America's greatest values is our strong belief in the inherent
worth of every human life. Human trafficking is a direct assault
on this core value, and it affects millions of victims
throughout the world. While many of us would like to believe that
this issue isn't something that affects us, the sad truth is
that human trafficking is a real problem plaguing each and every
community here in the United States. Enough is enough. This
week, the House took strong actions to stand up for the
victims of human trafficking, passing tough bills, to provide
them protection and to target child predators. Let's work
together to get these bills signed into law.
So these dickwad pizza gators who have yet to show me a single
victim because I'm all in on the child abuse in political
circles. Yep, big time and if you haven't seen the keepers, I
can't even watch it because I've seen so many of these
documentaries if I know exactly what's going to happen I know
exactly what's what's what's going on in every single one of
these cases. But okay, so we can't find victims, but Oh, yes,
they had to get rid of him because he's trying to unmask
this the sixth ring. Okay. Even I won't fall for that one. And
this is an interesting one. situation where we have not well
just listen to the clip and we'll explain for
more than 400 years William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar has
been a lightning rod. This year's adaptation by a New York
City Theatre Company is no different. It features of
President Trump look alike who is stabbed to death on stage a
modern take on Shakespeare's classic play.
The danger here is that once you start pulling funding or giving
funding, but what
he's talking about when he says pulling funding or giving
funding, I think is mainly related to JP Morgan Chase who
pulled out of sponsoring the event, which is totally their
prerogative. And I'm okay with this kind of art. I don't I
don't mind I really don't. It's speech. It's art, you know, is
it nice? No. Is it dangerous, perhaps, but you can't say oh,
you can't do that. But this guy turns it into something
completely different because a commercial bank doesn't want to
underwrite it and put their name on
pulling funding or giving funding based on the content of
a particular piece of art. You're getting into a value
judgment.
On Twitter, the president's
son, Eric Trump thanked the companies for their decision
calling it the right thing to do if
a play like Julius Caesar can essentially be punished for what
some has said is an offensive production. What else could
happen here?
Oh, we have to be so worried about free speech. No, you
don't. That's about all I got on this on this guy. Other than you
know, I heard a couple dumb things like he was a he also had
a nine millimeter assault pistol. Wow, that's a new one. I
hadn't heard that.
No, actually, I didn't hear that about this guy. But I heard that
this is interesting. You brought this up. Because let's talk
about the UPS shooting. There's a UPS shooting here in San
Francisco play UPS shoot up. And here's your new term.
Back in this country. A gunman in San Francisco shot three
people to death at a UPS warehouse before turning the gun
on himself. Police say the man was a UPS employee armed with an
assault pistol heavily armed officers searched the sprawling
complex after the shooting started as dozens of employees
poured out of the building.
So so what you notice was something that's obviously been
put in play. Yes, that's Judy talking about a completely
different incident. And I didn't hear us with that other guy. But
as soon as I heard it, Judy said I just I've never heard it
before either.
That's really exhausting. Dammit. Now I'm pissed that I
wasn't able to clip it. I'm pretty sure it was CNN. Most it
was like a throwaway line. He had an AK 47 Which is pretty
sure we didn't have that and then a nine millimeter assault
pistol. Now you can call a Tec nine and the assault pistol if
you want, I guess. But you know, the Yeah, the term is new and
the term is out there. And it's a talking point and it shows
that I think PBS is just as corrupt as the rest
No, PBS has gotten very corrupt ever since Gwen left
or left the planet ever since
she she was I began I'm beginning to think more and more
that she was the one holding it together. In terms of his
honesty. I think they're dishonest. I think PBS is really
they've died. I'm not gonna say jump the shark right but they've
definitely turned the corner for being independent and objective.
There's no evidence I mean, if they're using that and if you
heard no salt pistol which you must have because you're not
going to just dream it up. Sure. And I have a clip of Judy saying
it that means this this term has now been put in play by the by
that side of the media that is trying to you know, stop gun
usage. What is this? I would say a Mac 10 which has no sights and
you can't even just shoot it randomly it's a it's a horrible
thing I've shot one once they don't you can't hit the side of
a barn with it. But it's used as a cop told me that was at the
same shooting ranges is used as a party gun. He says you kicked
the door in at a party and you just spray everybody nice and
then you run out of there that I can see being called an assault
pistol but what is
it what is it with the Mac? 10
Mac 10 is boxy looking piece of crap. That is oh yeah,
this is more like used to be in the movies all the time. So it's
like almost like a mini Uzi kind of.
Yeah, as good as you can.
You're right. It's a party sprayer. Hey, everybody. And
that's it and you're done mag by empty leave.
Yeah. And I can see being called that but that these this is not
what's going on here. They're just using this term to.
I do like the idea. And now you too can own the ultimate party
gun. That's right. Surprise your friends with the ultimate party
gun. I walk in spray and pray the ultimate party gun. I'm
telling you it's great. It's a perfect.
Yeah. Okay. So but anyway, so what we're seeing here is
collusion in the media again. Yes.
Yeah. Well and yes, yes to collusion in the media. As I was
watching this unfold. They made it almost eight o'clock it was
about quarter to a 10 to eight my time so 10 to nine, East
Coast. And all while we got breaking news, all I have is
Avenue breaking news sound on where is it? A new breaking news
sweeper. Breaking news, everybody. Breaking news? Yes,
we have. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, to the rescue everybody. When it
gets really tight when you don't know what to know, when you're
afraid that the messaging was going the wrong way. You got to
bring in WaPo and WaPo had a revelation call
me the former FBI director. He appeared before the Senate
Intelligence Committee. He had explained during his testimony
that he had personally assured President Trump that he was not
personally under investigation as part of this Russia probe. In
what we have learned since that appearance, is that the FBI and
the special counsel have expanded that investigation that
previously as Comey said was not targeting Trump. But now is is
looking and investigating Trump for possible obstruction. The
Special Counsel is not just looking at what Comey faced when
he was in the FBI job. But what other intelligence officials
faced and what you had in the case of the Director of National
Intelligence, Daniel Coates and Admiral Mike Rogers, the head of
the NSA, is they were approached by Trump in March, and basically
encouraged to try to go out there and deflect this
investigation to cast out on on the investigation that the FBI
was undertaking, both coats the DNI and Rogers declined to do
what the President had asked them to do. And the Deputy
National Security Agency Director made a memo to
basically document the conversation that his boss
Admiral Rogers had with Trump. So these are the sorts of
interviews that you do to lock in testimony to to understand
where people stand on these issues, and then he can decide
how to proceed after that.
So the big headline Trump under investigation, but if you read
the article, well, yes, you bring in a special prosecutor,
and he's going to look at everything and everybody. Is
this a surprise? This is like some big breaking news. It is to
WaPo and we need to change the messaging. Oh, guys, amygdala
was enlarged. Trump is under investigation.
Here is Lawrence O'Donnell with the writer of that story. Yeah,
he
did you notice Sorry to interrupt. Whenever the WaPo bop
a WaPo boys are on their lower third has the Washington Post
logo. It's stylized logo. Yeah, CNN is doing it. MSNBC is doing
it. I didn't see
anyone from WaPo on there must have been a request from the
paper. Yeah, they're doing you know, it's not I will give you
the Chiron data data. You can just plug it in. Fine. Yeah.
Yeah, they probably have a little file that they can use
and it goes right into the Chiron and pops up as a logo.
Dynamite very smart. Anyway, the guy comes on his real block
headed guy. It's just like a very interesting looking camera.
Yeah,
that's the guy who wrote the story and he has a smirking he's
a smoker
constantly smirk Oh, but but here's the this clip is
interesting. Because is Lawrence O'Donnell talking and talking
and talking. He's got the guy talk and talk and talk and I
tried to explain what it means in every which way and then he
throws the guy and the guy's got nothing to say except Yeah, you
know, I'd make the they don't explain one thing, which is that
well, after you play this clip, which is unfortunately, I think
doll because they don't know how to tighten things up at MSNBC.
But I there's a point that's in there that I think that needs to
be made justice.
President Trump said that he felt, quote, total and complete
vindication after James Comey. His testimony revealed that when
he was FBI director, he told the president repeatedly that the
President was not then under investigation. Some Republican
senators and members of Congress suggested that the only
important thing about former Director Comey his testimony was
that he said the President was not under investigation. And so
tonight is a major turning point for defenders of President Trump
because they can no longer claim that the President is not under
investigation. And response to the Washington Post story
tonight, the president's legal defense team released a
statement saying the FBI leak of information regarding the
President is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal. But the
Washington Post story does not indicate that the information
that they used in that report comes from the FBI, or was
obtained from anyone in the special prosecutor's
investigation. Joining us now, Devlin Barrett, reporter for The
Washington Post. I want to go for the moment and I know you're
not going to tell us who the sources are. But because the
President's defense lawyers tonight responded with a direct
attack on the FBI. I just want to point out that in your
article, the only phrase you use for sources are just as official
said officials said, the most detailed description of sources
is when you say five people briefed on the requests. And
that is the requests for testimony from Dan Coates, the
Director of National Intelligence from Mike Rogers,
the head of the National Security Agency, and Richard
legit, who agreed to be interviewed, that five people
who knew about the requests for those that we did for those
people to be interviewed by the special prosecutor have spoken
to the Washington Post. And it seems that those people could
well exist outside the FBI, including as possible legal
representatives, or people who were legal advisors who were
consulted by those people who have those requests. Well,
right. And frankly, we're not going to go beyond our language
in the story that just says officials precisely because
people want to turn this conversation and frankly, into a
discussion of of leaks and sources and those sorts of
things.
Okay, it goes on. And although it's Donald's doing most of the
talk in which he's got the guy right there wrote the thing, let
him talk, it seems to me, is that what you want to do?
Instead you talk trying to analyze what the guy wrote when
he's right there. But okay. But here's the thing that McDonald
goes, goes into this O'Donnell, he goes into this exposition
about do all these guys who are given the subpoenas or they're
going to testify. So they knew they knew they knew and they
could have talked to the whiteboards that maybe they're
the sources know that his whole argument is bad because the
writer uses the word oficiales. Yes. oficiales refers to a
specific thing. It doesn't refer to somebody might be a witness.
Yeah, the whole thing is just it doesn't even matter. Yeah, of
course he has. under investigation, obviously, that's
what the prosecutors for what he's gonna look at everything
except the president. Oh, stop the news about the shooter. Stop
it. Stop it. And before this all happened, we have this meme
going around
in the White House today. President Trump ignoring the
question. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan
expressed support today for Robert Muller, the special
counsel investigating Russian election meddling and
allegations of Trump campaign collusion. It was prompted by
this comment from Trump confidant and Newsmax CEO Chris
ruddy yesterday on PBS. Well,
I think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel.
I think he's he's weighing that option.
Right. So this was consistently Chiron does Trump friend might
want to fire Muller, Trump friend, Trump friend, except NBC
was the only one who had the Trump friend on from Newsmax I
don't know if he's his friend, he's a confidant, an operative.
And the guy's very clear
this suggestion raised by the president's longtime friend,
Newsmax CEO, Chris ruddy, the White House saying ruddy never
spoke directly to the President about Moeller ruddy
acknowledging that but doubling down
if you read the art of the deal, he always says, Keep all your
options open. Do I think that he will actually fire him? No, but
I do. I think it was an option or has been an option. Yes.
He doubled down but he said no, I don't understand it. Maybe I
just hear that, you know, I have s SFS. I've diagnosed myself on
SFS.
Okay, let me sit. Let me guess what that might mean. Let's see.
You take one drink of alcohol. So maybe the first is should
face simplicity,
no struggle fatigue syndrome. Ah, also known as just straddle
fatigue.
I don't know because it seems to me that you're you might, but it
seems to me that your your position so Oh deeply in the in
dimension a that you're hearing dimension a stuff because if you
straddle fatigue you might actually hear both sides a
little better. No, I
hear both sides.
I got this wait I got this from the last time we discussed this
where you kept hearing the word it's true. Yeah, that's yeah.
When they was referring to Comey
is that is what happens when you have straddle fatigue? Because I
am straddling now what are you accusing me of Mr. Dvorak?
I'm accusing you of not straddling enough and you're
actually you're
slipping, I'm slipping, I'm sleeping, hey,
dimension a and you can't get out and dimension a and I can't
get up.
Here is Deputy Attorney General rod Rosenstein, who answers the
question Who is the only guy who can fire Muller and I just
thought it was interesting to play? This was the only thing
from that testimony that I was remotely. And at
this point, have you seen any evidence of good cause for
firing of Special Counsel? Muller?
No, I have not. And this
is all based on the guy from Newsmax. What the hell are we
doing?
You given the Special Counsel full independence from the
Justice Department to conduct his investigation?
Yes, sir. And I appreciate that question. At the last hearing I
attended, I explained that it would require a long time to
explain exactly why I'm confident that he has full
independence. The short answer is, though, that that
regulation, as you may know, was written and implemented during
the Clinton administration under the authority of Attorney
General Reno. I know the folks who wrote that they wrote it to
deal with these sorts of situations. And I am confident
that he will have sufficient independence. And it's certainly
theoretically possible that the attorney general could fire him,
but that's the only person who has authority to fire him. And
in fact, the chain of command for the Special Counsel is only
directly to the attorney general or in this case, the acting
Attorney General. So nobody else in the department would have
authority to do that. And you have my assurance that we're
going to faithfully follow that regulation. And director Muller
is going to have a full degree of independence that he needs to
conduct that investigation appropriately.
And is there a record that gives him that full independence? Is
that done in a letter or an order from you as the Deputy
Attorney this is
well known, it's a law how
are they harping on this so much for
camera time for camera time,
Huckle be a hooker be whatever her name is the press person,
Sarah, she came out and said that Trump has zero interest in
in
the friend wiring, but the friend, the lower third said
friend says, this is a waste of time. This is this. It's
It's outrageous, actually. And I thought to hearing I do have two
clips. The hearing with Jeff Sessions was a huge waste of
time and was done back to the gills. Well, because
I mean, he recused himself because He's Russian.
And he explained that and what actually his explanation I have
to this is what bothered me his explanation of his recusal which
is very obvious. It's it's it's kind of a written rule in the in
the Department of Justice. That and he explains it over and over
again, I do have a clip of them explaining it. I've never heard
this before. Why have we not heard this? The media has never
discussed his real reason for his recusal what
it because it doesn't fit the message.
It's outrageous to me. Yeah. In fact, I'd like to play that
clip. This is the part is the second clip. I have to one and
we're just gets irked with this, you know, Ron Wyden is a dick in
these hearings. So as Kamala Harris Oh, she's just a total
dick.
I got a piece of her clip. Okay, which one you want me to play?
Why didn't
versus sessions to so he explains this.
General Sessions. Respectfully. You're not answering the
question. What
is the question? The
question is, Mr. Comey said that there were matters with respect
to the recusal away
Stop is not problematic. That's actually not the clip I
want. I'm sorry.
There's there's there's a third clip sessions. Here it is. This
is the sessions recusal rationale on offices.
General Sessions on March 2 2017, you formally recused
yourself from any involvement in the Russian investigation being
conducted by the FBI and the Department of Justice. What are
the specific reasons that you chose to recuse yourself?
Well, this specific reason, Mr. Chairman, is a CFR congressional
Code of Federal Regulations put out by the Department of Justice
part of the Department of Justice rules, and it says this,
I'll read from it 28 CFR 45.2. unless authorized, no employee
shall participate in a criminal and investigation or
prosecution, if he has a personal or political
relationship with any person involved in the conduct of an
investigation. It goes on to say, for political and a
political campaign. And it says if you have a close
identification with an elected official or candidate arising
from service as a Principal Advisor, you should not should
not participate in an investigation of that campaign.
What would you do many have suggest that my recusal is
because I felt that was a subject of the investigation
myself, that I may have done something wrong. But this is the
reason I recused myself, I felt that I was required to under the
rules of the Department of Justice. And as a leader of the
Department of Justice, I should comply with the rules,
obviously. So
does your legal counsel basically know from day one, you
don't need the rest of the what gets me is, besides the fact
that we're never told this by the media.
I'm glad you played this. Thank you. That's good. That's very
good, that you brought it to the party with your Mac 10.
And the thing is, if he had not recused himself, they would have
dug this up and held it over his head. And they would have tried
to get him ousted. As Attorney General for violating this rule.
Sure. Yes, he's very smart. That way, is very smart.
That way he's been in the business long enough to know
better, and so he wasn't gonna get caught that way, even though
Trump apparently says although I don't even believe that Trump
was supposed to be upset that he recused himself. That could be
just a blatant lie, like the like the fact that he recused
himself because he was under investigation for being in
collusion with the Russians, when that's not the case, at
all. It's very disgusting to me that this is a we have to sift
through this stuff. And the only way to actually do it is to
listen to these these all incredibly Oh, yeah, we have to
listen to this stuff. And then wait a minute, this is not what
we're being told. And here's the guy explaining it, right? The
drives in the media explaining it
because, well, you're asking directions to the place, she
knows how to find very well. That was a Dutch ism, that
didn't translate. Sorry.
Is that what was the Dutch? What's the
Dutch is frosting on the backend of it, which means asking for
directions to the road, you already know. Something like
that. Yeah. But it sounds better when you say it in in Dutch, but
I'm not a big guy. Yeah, you should just use the Dutch. I
will from now on I'll use many of those.
I think I think better caches but you know already know the
answer that
little bit of Kamla Harris until a bored of it as she was
grilling. The Attorney General.
She had a smirk on her face. Do
you know what she's look at it the everywhere now you've seen
the articles. She's gonna be the next president. This is it.
She's beautiful. She's, she's a woman. She's smart. She's
beautiful. She's very pretty. She is a corrupt official.
David, they already have the goods on her. She cannot turn
the corner on this. And she's also in. Well, she's also from
California, she get the California vote, but they've
California is a lost cause. It's as if, you know, people that
are. So you know, you're just so Democrat out here that you can't
you're not gonna get any attention from anybody. It's
like, you're just assumed that the California is gonna go all
right. So everyone has this. Give them new roads. Everybody's
blase, you don't have to do anything. They'll vote for us
anyway.
Yeah, so just so screw them. That's the attitude and both
parties. It's like the Republicans say we'll screw up
screw California, because they're not helping us. So we're
not going to give them any aid or help or funds for the
potholes. And the Democrats say the same thing, because they're
gonna vote for us anyway, who cares us use the money someplace
else.
Here's a bit of Kamla interrogating Jeff Sessions.
Attorney General
Sessions you have several times this afternoon, prefaced your
responses by saying to the best of your recollection,
oh, man, this is like
just on the first page of your three pages written testimony
you wrote nor do I recall, do not have recollection. Do not
remember it. So my question is for any of your testimony today,
did you refresh your memory with any written documents, be they
your calendar, written correspondence, emails, notes of
any sort?
Tend to refresh my recollection, but so much of this is in a and
a wholesale campaign of extraordinary nature. That
you're moving so fast that you don't keep notes She made
people. I didn't keep notes of my conversation with the Russian
ambassador at like two inches and talk by saying I didn't keep
notes on most of these things. And there's nothing
Friday this committee with the notes that you did maintain, as
appropriate. I
will supply the committee with the
now we get into lawyer bantering, which is the if
you've ever been in a lawsuit, which I have been, and you get
to this point, this is where it's costing you money, and
they're just jerking each other off
documents.
Can you please tell me what you mean, when you say appropriate,
I would have to consult with lawyers in the department who
know the proper procedure, to before disclosing documents that
are held within the Department of Justice attorney, I'm not
able to make that opinion today,
sir, I'm sure you prepared for this hearing today. And most of
the questions that have been presented to you are already
presented and known in advance were predictable. Oh, okay.
That's one way of saying it.
So my question to you is, did you then review with the lawyers
of your department, if you as the top lawyer are unaware what
the law is regarding what you can share with us and what you
cannot share with us what is privileged and what is not
privileged? You
just Tick tick tick. There goes my money. The lawyers are
arguing with each other,
we discussed the basic parameters of testimony,
frankly, have not discussed documentary disclosure
rules, will you make a commitment to this committee
that you will share any written correspondence, be there your
calendars, records, notes, emails, or anything that has
been reduced at any point in time and writing committee,
where legally, you actually have an obligation to do so
I'll commit to reviewing the rules of the department and as
in when that issue is raised to respond,
and now she's gonna get feisty on appropriately?
Did you have any communications with Russian officials for any
reason during the campaign that have not been disclosed? In
public or to this committee?
I don't recall it. But I have to tell you, I cannot testify to
what was said as we were standing at the Rebug convention
before the podium, whereas Oh, my only memory of that. Okay, as
a mind to
your knowledge. Did you have any communication with any Russian
businessmen or any Russian nationals?
I don't believe I had any conversation with Russian
business men are Russian nationals. Are you aware a lot
of people were at the convention? It's conceivable
that somebody there
I have just a few you
lend me qualified. Qualified, you're accusing me of lying. So
I need to be correct. As best I want you to be on I'm not able
to be rushed this fast. It makes me nervous.
cameltoe Harris, you're making me nervous.
Are you aware of any communications with other Trump
campaign officials and associates that they had with
Russian officials or any Russian nationals? I know, call that and
are you aware of this moment? Are you aware of any
communications?
I love that little date at this moment? I'm not aware of it
with any Trump officials? Or did you have any communications with
any officials about the Russia or Russian interest in the
United States before January 20s?
No, I may have had some conversations. And I think I did
with the general strategic concept of the possibility of
whether or not Russia and the United States could get on a
more harmonious relationship and move off the hostility. The
Soviet Union did in fact collapse. It's really a tragic
strategic event that we're not able to get along. You may
return to your harpsichord.
Yes, returned to the harpsichord, man, waste of time.
It's a
total waste of time, but at least it gets pretty funny with
the root widen, who's another douchebag? Yeah. And this is the
two clips I have that I wanted to play, which is Wyden versus
sessions, part one where they go at each other.
The American people have had it with stonewalling. Americans
don't want to hear that answers to relevant questions are
privileged and off limits, or that they can't be provided in
public, or that it would be, quote, inappropriate for
witnesses to tell us what they know. We're talking about an
attack on our democratic institutions. And stonewalling
of any kind is unacceptable. And General Sessions has
acknowledged that there is no legal basis for this
stonewalling. So now the questions. Last Thursday, I
asked former Director Comey about the FBIs interactions with
you, generals Russians prior to your stepping aside from the
Russian investigation, Mr. Comey said that your continued
engagement with the Russian investigation was, quote,
problematic, and he Mr. Comey could not discuss it in public.
Mr. Comey also said that FBI personnel had been calling for
you to step aside from the investigation at least two weeks
before you finally did so. Now, in your prepared statement, you
stated you received only, quote, limited information necessary to
inform your recusal decision. But given Director Comey
statement, we need to know what that was. Were you aware of any
concerns at the FBI or elsewhere in government about your
contacts with the Russians or any other matters relevant to
whether you should step aside from the Russian investigation?
Senator Wyden and not stonewalling? I am following the
historic policies of the Department of Justice. You don't
walk into any hearing or committee meeting and reveal
confidential communications with the president united states
who's entitled to receive confidential communications and
your best judgment about a host of issues. And and have to be
accused of stonewalling for non Antrim, ma'am. So I would push
back on that. Secondly, Mr. Comey, perhaps he didn't know.
But I basically recused myself that day, the first day I got
into the office, because I never accessed files. I never learned
the names of investigators. I never met with them. I never
asked for any documentation. The documentation to add a little I
received was mostly already in the media, and was presented by
the senior ethics public responsibility Professional
Responsibility attorney and the department general and I made a
honest and proper decision to recuse myself as I told Senator
Feinstein and the members of the committee, I would do it when
they confirmed me.
So that didn't really that key that didn't work. Well, I mean,
it did work for everyone listening in work for this
right. And guy. Yeah. And widened, by the way is the guy
he's talking about this kind of confidence widen. If you
remember, he's the guy from Oregon who came before the, on
the floor of the Senate went on and on this is during the
Snowden era. He went on and on about all these terrible things
that are going on and how that, you know, he would like to, to
say what they were, which he could have done legally could
have actually exposed a lot of the stuff that Snowden was
talking about legally, because on the floor of the Congress,
your net, you're not liable for anything. You can say whatever
you want. And you can reveal the private conversations, you can
reveal the closed door testimonies, you can reveal it
all. And he wouldn't do it. But oh, it's good. But it's really
bad because sessions will do I just thought this guy was a huge
hypocrite. But here we are widened versus sessions to and
this will be the last one
general sessions. Respectfully, you're not answering the
question.
What is the question? The
question is, Mr. Comey said that there were matters with respect
to the recusal that were problematic, and he couldn't
talk about them. What are they?
That why don't you tell me? They are none. Senator Wyden? There
are none. I can tell you that for absolute certainty. We can
we do tell this is a secret innuendo being leaked out there
about me, and I don't appreciate it. And I've tried to give my
best and truthful answers to any committee. I've appeared before.
And it's really people are suggesting through innuendo,
that I have been not honest about matters, and I've tried to
be honest, but my time is
short. You've made your point that you think Mr. Comey is
engaging in innuendo, we're going to keep
doing well. And that's the Senator Wyden, he did not say
that. I don't
know. It's problematic. And I asked you Well, what's
problematic about it?
The the, the some of that leaked out of the committee that he
said in in closed sessions. Okay.
One more question. I asked former FBI Director whether
you're rolling firing him, violated your recusal given the
President Trump said he had fired fired Comey. Because of
the Russian investigation. Director Comey said this was a
reasonable question. So I want to ask you just point blank. Why
did you sign the letter recommending the fire firing of
Director Comey when it violated your recusal.
It did not violate my recusal. It did not violate my recusal.
That would be the answer to that. And the letter that I
signed represented my views that had been formulated for some
time.
Yeah, that was pretty much the only explosive fun bit that was
in that old
thing I would say. And the thing about this one are just kind of
reminisce, if it wasn't for Trump going on Lester Holt,
right and out of the blue saying, I fired Comey because of
his Russian hoax. If he'd Shut up and go do his job instead of
coming on and making stuff up as he goes along. I mean, they
always call Trump a big liar. The guy's a liar, a liar, what,
but he's telling the truth in this instance, that we can jump
on him. Now. If he's a liar, he's a liar. This is bullcrap.
It can be fired. And because the real reason for beginning fire
was because his handling handling of the Hillary thing,
which I think is a stronger point, but Trump gets hung up on
his Russian stuff, because he's thinks that they're after him.
And they are, but it doesn't help his cause when he goes on
Lester Holt and says this, and then it all thrown it in
sessions face and the Russian take if Trump had never said
that if he had never gone on, Lester hold, this hearing would
not happen. Oh, I'm not so sure about that. Well, okay. There'd
be but it'd be it would be the angle would be different. They
couldn't keep using Trump's words against him.
Yeah. Well, no one said he was smart that way.
It's pretty wise up.
Now, that wiseguys never wise up you see. That's not how it
works? Well, it seems to have a few minutes. We have breached
the Comey gap.
He's a showboat, he's a grandstander, the FBI director
has no credibility for long man for that position.
I think that Comey acted in an outrageous way. And I think it
would not be a bad thing for the American people.
If he did stuff.
You said that he had no credibility, I assume that you
support the president's decision then to fire his FBI director.
No, I do not call me call me Call me. Call me. Call me.
Call me Call me. It's
nice. It's pretty funny. Have
the best producers in the world. Thank you, Matt, for that, just
to whet your appetite because there are so many people
appearing on this program, that it has become important. And the
politicians everybody knows that. That's where the audience
is for the white women. Yes. So I'm talking about the view. And
what's the girl's name? The
you're out? Wait, what you're asking me
now I'm asking. I'm asking myself in general Jedediah, I
think Jada Daya Yes. Well, she committed a big boo boo.
I don't think I think the way I read it was that he was saying
if my dad's going to tell you if my dad's gonna boss you around,
it's going to be very clear. And he's going to be like put an end
to this based on his experience with his own father. My issue.
My issue, though, is with Comey once again, how many I watched
this testimony. I just thought this guy read to me is such a
coward. That you sat there for so long. You heard about how
Comey felt and call me. Oh, this made me uncomfortable. People
say Did you do anything about it? You just say anything to
President Trump? Well, no, if I were strangled, maybe I would
have irrelevant,
but it's not. The truth of the matter is who is why Yeah, okay.
I'm convinced of Donald Trump has lied 277 times. Yes. Two
years. Okay. Yeah. And Comey has not, you know, as a line, he's
been working.
Wait, you will accept what he was saying about all the other
stuff now. So you're stuck with it. He's not he wasn't lying,
then he's not like I know
who's lying, but I know who was lying. Comey is known for being
a truthful person. And I will say this after watching
testimony again, because I did that over the weekend. None of
the senators on that intelligence committee question
his veracity extra not one during that testimony to you
that if he were sitting there and he were witnessing
obstruction of justice, if he were witnessing this guy's a
liar, let me take some memos that he wouldn't open up say
something to the Senate at Intel Committee say something to the
Justice Party.
I felt that when you watch the whole thing, you had to piece
together a lot of things going on the fact that he had never
taken memos before but felt that the action of writing a memo, it
was merited in this situation. I think the idea that he kept
saying let's not parcel the words, I'm a grown man, I've
been the head of the FBI. I felt differently this time. A lot of
that stuff together started to create a picture for me that I
was like, Oh,
okay. It also seems weird to me, though, that he felt the need to
take these memos on Trump fine, but you didn't take memos on
Loretta Lynch and there you have him admitting Loretta Lynch
Loretta Lynch told me that this I should not call this an
investigation into Hillary Clinton. I should call it a
natter with Leslie
muddy the waters as they try
I love Whoopi Jeremy you know what do you know what she's
raising both hands you know what let's not muddy the waters with
any of that stuff
ocean into Hillary Clinton call it a matter then you have
Loretta Lynch
muddy the waters as they try to do let us know no let's not
muddy the waters as they tried to do what is the bottom line is
simply mine is simply this okay? Okay. The guy who's in charge
now who Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she definitely can say that
the President's not a lie.
That's a lie.
And you think is weird that I slipped into Dimension a from
time to time this is what I have to endure. This is it. And with
that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you John su se stands for call me as a coward
Devorah Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam curry. Also in the
morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air.
That was in the water. Yeah, the dames the nights out there.
Yes, in the morning, everybody in the morning to specifically
Melvin Gibbs Steen. Today, and Melvin Gibbs team brought us the
artwork for episode nine or three eight of this program also
known as the best podcast in the universe. So title that stumped
the algo this was the poop map and we had a couple of them we
had a couple of poop map entries. Comic Strip blogger did
a pretty good one but we like this because he actually drew
the no agenda. You know the title and the live from gastro
nation. It was all in poop letters.
His own poop envy. I
mean, poop wins. Pool when it when it comes to humor, poop
just always seems to win. It's just a fact of life can't do
much.
Well, we do have a lot of Associate Executive Producers
1234 and three executive producers for today's show. And
after that it drops off drastically. But at least we got
and one of the carriers of the show over the last couple of
weeks is certain Serrana Miss Serrano miss is back again.
Yeah, unbelievable.
This guy he must be a day trader or something. He's got unlimited
amounts.
I don't know he just seems to get in the mood he has. Of
course I put these notes in here and I hit the Earth so he sends
a note in that this guy is very anonymous right we don't know
he's very anonymous. You don't know where he is or and he
doesn't. You can't read his checks and nine cent cash. They
never pass a return address so he really trust the post office
always assume he is deeply embedded in the system knowing
the post office is actually pretty good about this. But he
when he writes the notes, it's usually to complain about
something. And now he's doing it in in kind of an offhanded way
and see see if you can figure out what his gripe is. All
right. From sir anonymous of Dogpatch it is exhausting. It is
exhausting to listen to opinions from mining. Oh, this is the
wrong way. That's the way should I read that letter? Oh, here we
go. Here it is. I'm just gonna get mixed up with it. It's next
to the keyboard. Well, he you know, he says every show so what
am I supposed to do? Okay, from Sir autonomous synonymous of
Dogpatch. Quote, interesting. After a long day of meetings, a
colleague from Ghana turned to me and said, I think it's
interesting. No, no, he says, I think and get the straight. I
think interesting is a white man's word for stupid. Since
that day, when I hear interesting in a meeting, I find
stupid is a useful replacement. Hmm. Some people want to send
blankets or water just send your cash is what he ends with. And
that's that. So he apparently I guess
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just
send your cash.
So I'm guessing that he's been hearing us say interesting as
someone else pointed out, yes, too often, and now he's calling
us out on it saying he's going to be hearing stupid. The word
stupid is
I will readily admit that I have used the word interesting in
conversations in meetings when I used to do meetings as a word to
throw out there to pause everybody so I could have you
know, it's three syllables. I had some Time to think about
what I was really going to say I'm sure of that because I
haven't been called out on this before Ah 1919 96 or 95 He says
to me said really You always say interesting you really think
it's interesting about I was like Oh that
would be calling about this is like my call out on that's an
excellent question yeah not okay well that's noted Yes
well I think we've we work on these things
might have backed off I thought we backed off at night maybe
we're not hearing it well, we do want to say I used I've used it
as a stalwart
Yeah, I do want to thank him for his interesting note karma
you've got karma Yeah. No prisoners
All right, anyway. And may I point out that yes sir on a
mismatch now we get a little clue as to he's meeting with
Ghana representative maybe he's in the UN or somebody
I point out that you said to me I was slipping in a dimension a
but you pretty much meant dimension B didn't you?
No, no, I meant dimension a Oh yeah. Is the other side we were
will
be is the B is completely you know the face bag
after that shooting. That's an insane dimension
after the after that shooting the face bag went dead.
Squirrels Island no one is posting anything dead. Oh, yeah.
I would have expected something some No,
no, no, no, no, this fried some brains. Everyone everyone knows
everyone knows how angry they are. Everyone's heard the hate
everyone's heard it. Now that now the mission is to remind
everybody that the President started all that shit. That's
what this is done on the president. His vitriol, his
anger, his telling people he'd pay for their court fees and
lawyers. If they punch someone they punch
somebody I know. You know, by the way, there's one of the
earlier clips I forgot to mention that it was noteworthy.
I was almost gonna say like noteworthy is very good. It was
noteworthy that when they compared the vitriol of Trump,
to the vitriol of Clinton, the Trump pretty much made his
attacks personal on the other candidate. Hillary went after
the Trump supporters Yeah. I think that was a flaw talk about
vitriol. The basket of deplorables it became like a
meme I'm Hilary is a bigot never became a meme is just funny at
the moment, but it's still such an eyesore. I think we should
try to get Hillary Clinton is a bigot I don't think we have that
one doing this is like the George Clooney is a spy kind of
thing. We don't have we don't have it I know we don't have it.
Well, someone
should make it and it would sound something like this is a
spy something like something along those lines.
Onward keys loss it is one of our big donors from pop money.
And so again 33434543 And since he's pop money, you know pop
money just shows up in the bank account doesn't tell you
anything that
is that is an interesting palindrome. It's repop. No
34543034543
Yes, it's a palindrome can pop a palindrome pop pelan la maybe
there's a connection hop hop. He sent me an email and so I dug it
up and apparently sent us about a time and worried sick that we
weren't going to get to it. My donation via pop money claims to
have reached no agenda. Sure. Yes, it did. That pop money
works very well. If you if it works at all. But if you're
doing it from a credit union, which you apparently did, or a
bank that's using it instead of Swift and all these other
things, he's using it from the redstone Federal Credit Union,
which is typical credit unions all used pop money, right? And
it always works that way. If you have to check at banking numbers
and stuff, I have mo Hoba which is available. I am hoping this
can be attributed to Episode 937. Well, well close call
almost. Since I anticipate that being a good episode with the
Comey influence and all it was a good episode, I think so.
However, if you're sticking to your reviewing pop money once a
month procedure then you're attributing it when you can well
half once or twice a month. For karma my contribution of 34543
is a palindrome prize Mr. Powell prime I don't know what that

Prime Minister Teflon John Key finally resigned a few months
back and has received a knighthood from the Queen not a
real no agenda one
basis it's a phony it's a mocker knighthood it's not the real
deal.
Yeah, he got it for basically selling out selling off and
screwing over the country. All hail Sir Don key punch. Maybe we
can get this country back on track now and focus on some real
issues rather than this failed change the flag vanity project.
Thanks to the lead from the US we are finally getting into the
marijuana debate and it's about time however, with of 1.7
billion in tobacco taxes the government received last year
the ass about face nature of the tobacco legal slash pot illegal
situation is unlikely ever to be reversed. With the tax revenue
being worth more than the government the number of
cigarettes related robberies and deaths increasing. I may use my
time off to put together a business plan for when cannabis
legalization happens over here will as it won't be hard to find
a business

As it won't be hard to find experienced cultivars here out

soon you might want to consider going out there propagating the
formula formula
is this. We go out for yet people in the mouth
can't get enough of it.
It's the best.
Yes. Ah, well, there's a lot of other things going on. Luckily,
we did some other things to discuss, hey, Mayor. In Turkey,
which mayor was the mayor of which which town? Is he of
Ankara? Yeah, they had an earthquake there, which also
affected Greece, or Lesbos? So one of the Greek islands is
pretty bad. You didn't hear much about it? Because I didn't hear
anything about it. Not why would you want to hear but it was 6.32
magnitude, which means that's not the Richter scale. That's
the momento they've given up on that vacation. Yeah, because the
numbers weren't high enough. And the mayor of Anchorage says, I
think that might be an artificial earthquake. I do not
say to certain, but it's a very serious possibility. I say that
it should definitely be investigated. Was there any
seismic research ships sailing near the epicenter? If so, which
country does that belong to? And they say I'm crazy.
Who says you're crazy?
Everybody? Well, the earthquake machine which we have proof that
it exists, well, not new. We don't have. We have official
American officials read it to us again.
I don't have it here. But it was a William Cohen. He was the
secretary of Secretary of Defense. And in testimony, he
said other countries have seismic weaponry, we need them.
We have to be able to use them. There's been tests off the coast
of Australia. And I'm still not 100% convinced that the very
shallow earthquake near Fukushima wasn't something that
was perhaps more manmade than we understand.
There. No one will admit it now. Well, now Oops.
No, no, no,
turn that knob up.
Hey, and I did want to give you some props. You were right. And
boy, were you right. Yeah, the Houston rattling of the Sam
Houston statue. They're all they're gonna pull that down.
And you said you I think it's it's a trick it's a trick to
lure the Republicans into into a protest and it turns out you're
absolutely right
and the Houston did Sam Houston statue remains Yeah. Viewer
right
it was a total hoax. It was a hoax. Good one John. See this is
why this is why I listen to the show.
Yeah. Well, here's I want you to hear I got a clip here. I want
you to explain to me where we're headed with this we have you
know, we've been bombing Syria. There's been troops over there
you know, can I just say that it's we have troops everywhere
that are not being reported on it. I have video I think I put
it in the show notes of us. I'm sorry, not troops out advisors,
Manning machine guns and shooting from India near the
Embassy in Tripoli. We've got we got
clearly nobody else can shoot again. But us. Well, we're
just showing how it's supposed to be done. That's what that's
what advising is all about
trigger here. Let me show you.
I'll show you how it's done. Let me just show you how it's done.
Yeah, this is always temporary deployment of consultants
advisors as saying in the data the word a dark day in the
Philippines.
You know what's kind of overlooked in all this analysis
about our people shooting these guns. In fact, it's fun to shoot
guns. Yes. And I think these guys look for the opportunities
as you know, they got an endless supply of bullets there on some
you know, huge machine gun and they get that shoot it and why
if you were over there, you'd want to shoot the gun too.
Yeah, it's a little annoying when people shoot back.
Well, you don't want you want to be like most of these like these
clips. You see there's nobody shooting back you just shooting.
wasting money. Buck a bullet, boom, dollar boom.
We got breaking news. I don't know if you heard about this.
John. Breaking News Live.
Five News starts now with breaking news.
And we begin with that breaking news for you right now out of
Mount Pleasant. The US Coast Guard says there is no threat of
a bomb at the Wando terminal. And in the last hour. We've
learned from officials that they have detained the person they
believe is responsible for that threat. Coast Guard officials
swept a vessel at that terminal overnight after getting the
report of the possible Dirty Bomb. Aaron Maybin on the scene
now with the latest details. Aaron
Yeah Good morning. It appears the camera is open right now
after being closed for hours. We have seen trucks going in and
out. Already this morning. We have just learned from the US
Coast Guard that overnight for containers were scanned and
cleared and we have been in contact with the US Coast Guard
all morning long. The coast guard tells us at one point a
zone was set up around the Maersk Memphis after the report
of a dirty bomb aboard the ship. Multiple federal and state
authorities moved into the terminal and around the
container ship. Wednesday night coastguard officials say at one
point there were 14 agents aboard the vessel with radiation
detection detection technology. Again, we are told right now
there is no threat. We're told the original source of that
report has been detained for questioning. We do not know his
or her identity or what sparked this threat. That's something we
will work on all day. We have more coming up in about 30
minutes. But for now I'm live Aaron Maven back in the studio.
Now I couldn't find the original the genesis of this story
although it's everyone is talking about it. But the actual
video I could not find. Apparently George Webb Bubba web
George Webb he's the guy that we've played one or two of his
YouTube clips. He's the guy that was watching the the Anwar
brothers. Also, what's his face? The the Clinton Foundation CEO
who just basically disappeared. Remember this guy? Yeah,
he dropped back up somewhere. Well,
so apparently he was talking about this. They think there's a
dirty bomb on one of the ships. And that was the catalyst. What
from what I've heard. That was the catalyst for the cops in
every doubt. Yeah, to freak out about this and I'm thinking this
is part of this guy. He's really treading all over the Clintons.
Bigley love saying that he's tread elites. He's treading all
over the Clintons. He's exposing all kinds of stuff. And you
know, we have we think there's payback. Yeah, it's part of the
hitless it's part of Hillary's hitless this guy's going to be
in trouble and you know who else is going to be in trouble? Who
Van Jones? Why would it Van Jones do Oh, my goodness. Oh,
Van Jones, without a doubt has always been liberal. He's
outrageous, progressive, progressive. Thank you. And I do
Republican hater
and when that Was he really involved in the Clinton campaign
at all? Or was he did he kind of fall out?
I don't think so. I think he was outside the the camp doing their
business,
but I think he was kept outside you know, he was an Obama bot.
And he got yanked out because what was the reason got kicked
out?
He got kicked out because the right wing went after him for
they had a bunch of citations of him being too progressive and
they scared Obama and Obama got rid of him.
Yeah, cowardly. Well, Van is moving to the top of the hit
list. Hillary Clinton campaign this is the people summit 2017
did not spend their money on white workers and they did not
spend their money on people of color. They spent it on
themselves
billion dollars a billion dollar building on fire and call that a
campaign that wasn't a campaign a billion dollars for
consultants a billion dollars for pollsters a billion dollars
for a data operation that was run by data dummies who couldn't
figure out that maybe most in Michigan needed to be organized.
That wasn't a campaign it was a boondoggle for us to fight about
whether black folks or white workers or Latinos or any other
group to get the money first of all you need to give the money
back to the people period we getting ripped off
there you go a billion dollars on data does a
funny thing is I think it's 1.5 and it really was he under
he underplayed it yeah a billion dollars that they spent on
themselves and
yeah, oh, I think Clinton's calling me right now. Oh, boy.
You got another robo call? Do we need to take the noise gate off
to listen to what you're doing here? I'll do hello? Heartbreak
Hotel
right in the middle of a podcast
you're talking to someone Nobody answered. Now what is going on
with Van here in this case? Does he want to be shot?
Okay, a couple of things I have to ask one is where was this
at the people summit 2017 When that was where where it was
That's a good question. That people's summit sorry I just got
this this morning but I didn't have time to recover found at
Chicago Chicago
Chicago so he's in Chicago saying this Yeah. Does he not
know that you don't do this? I mean, you don't turn on the
Clintons like that in a they're both well
i unless he has some kind of some something up his sleeve
may have a deadman switch you think
well you better have something because that is to say that and
then also the
baby maybe he's now that knowing from his perspective maybe he's
one of these guys you have what the hit couldn't hit less
bullshit there's no such thing oh okay there's no such thing as
nonsense as right wing nonsense is crap yeah is a listen guys
well, right wing crap is bullcrap. It's bull crap.
Well, yes, just just stay away from hot tubs man.
Small aircraft Yeah, the
small abs should be very careful don't get any canoes in the DC
area or kayaks is not a good idea. Don't get in the hot tub
with a lid on it. You know don't put a gun in your left hand and
shoot yourself to the head twice. Now and for the new
people. We say big league because it's funny yet we know
that Trump said big league cheese
we like big league
love big league and it's like this is dimension a freaking
more on
yeah, go back. This is one of the examples where maybe okay,
maybe should go back a few shows and listen in. But you want to
go back to show one you go back to show. Now you know there's a
lot of different shows you can go back to talking about that I
wanted you to I want to get your analysis of this. This is Mike
Morel on deck troops in Syria.
I'm sorry, you want me to play it? So if we're
gonna lead, again talking about.
So for insight into all of this, we'll go to Michael Morel former
number two at the CIA and our CBS News Senior security
contributor.
Oh, a senior CBS News security contributor. Is there a business
card long enough for this guy?
Michael, how much difference does it make to have 50 US
Special Operations forces on the ground in Syria? Scott, it
doesn't sound like much. But I think it's going to make a
significant difference for two reasons. One is the special
forces will be with Syrian Kurdish fighters who are right
up against the heart of ISIS, geographically, they're up
against the center of mass of ISIS. And secondly, the Special
Forces will I think, just as they have in Iraq, make these
fighters better strategically, and better tactically, help them
make better decisions militarily.
Now, the Russians have troops on the ground at a military base in
Syria, does this increase the likelihood of a US Russia
confrontation? Scott,
I don't think so. I'm not concerned about that these
Syrian forces, these Kurdish forces that we're going to be
supporting are focused entirely on ISIS. They're not focused on
fighting the Assad regime. So I think the chances of us butting
up against the Russians here is unlikely.
Michael Morel former number two at the CIA, Michael, thank you.
Okay, question. Your question. Oh, nevermind.
I shouldn't be there. This is this is a clip from 2015 Sorry,
sorry.
But it is true if I have a map that I've put in the show notes
938 dot no agenda notes.com archive that no agenda notes.com
and you'll see there the battle of mozal there's just a very
very small piece of been the US military advisors have been
kicking ISOs ass all over the place. Not that you're gonna
hear about that. But this they have a small small stronghold
left you don't need more than I mean if if it were today, you
would need more than 50 Guys you know, it's it's done. It's over.
At least in mozal No, I haven't seen anything left. What's left
of Mozilla Hey, it doesn't matter how we do it as long as
we Allah Burton as long as we rub allies the everything that's
okay. It doesn't really matter. Yeah, but I also find it
interesting that we were fighting in the Philippines
Yeah. How was that in our interest
well, you Well, is there oil there
and looked I'm sure they've got something like got something
around.
So when I was digging up that old clip I found some old ISOs
that we never used and one in particular, which is a sharp
deny so Oh, that we've never put in the rotation.
Oh my goodness. I needed which one is I see you got three
today?
I got three what the one that's Sharpton is the one in the
middle ice of the Day Star Wars
Star Wars everyone's going nuts about it
that's a good show Ender like that's very good. You have more
of you want to
know more of I have him but I got a couple ISOs here this ISO
This is Google self driving car.
Algo update. I'll go update. The nest is behaving now. To some
degree. Yeah, I had the temperatures the right
temperature want to get up in the morning? Yes, the algo is
performing. keep my eye on it. And remember, I'm doing this for
you. I am the canary in the coal mine to see
what you do. I use a old thermometer on my system that
has mercury in it.
And it tips over and hits the switchgear now Yeah, sloshes
back and forth. Yeah. And and yeah, and that will work better
when you know, John, when you think about it, all of this
stuff is really cool. That mean it's totally cool. I say, you
know, I call out the echo devices name. I say turn the
lights on, the lights go on. But eventually, you know, people who
fall into this trap and they got the doorbell and they got the
lock and everything's within an app, you lose your phone or the
internet goes out and you can't do anything. It'll be over.
It's terrible. Yeah, but but the thing is with mine instead of
having to screw around the algos, I just move the you know,
I say I'm a little too hot here. Sorry. I move it down just a
little bit to see if the thing rolls back and Oh, it's too
cold. So I fiddled with it and I'm over it took me about five
days of fiddling with the little Mercury thing. And now it's
perfect is always exactly the right temperatures. I nailed it
toss So
you have to balance this. Yeah, you got it. Nice. Well, that's a
good algo that's a that's a old school out human,
human, human human. It's like you miss a UL no human algo and
your last one? You Mel go UML go human algo and write that down
to Melbourne. It showed title. Human algo Yes, like human to
human intelligence. Yeah,
human algo human algo and I think the H is silent. Uma algo
could be what's his last ISO and the last one is just somebody
that's can't seem to get started with what they want to say. They
start with soy, and they can't go anywhere with it.
So it's so it's, it's
so I got one for you.
I got one who that is? No. Is that is that scientist guy, the
black physicist that runs the best. What is his name?
Neil deGrasse Tyson. Oh, yeah,
that's I think I believe that is Neil deGrasse Tyson played
again. So
this so it's, it's that so
I got one of those for you. And there's a Gope in there. This is
from TNT.
I'm someone with a very strong you know, you know, East Asian
Indian accent basically a good one.
I love laughing at people. Hello guardians of reality. I'd prefer
to remain anonymous. If you this information on the show. I don't
know if this will be beneficial for you. It is I just received
this at work on my email and I read it. He sent me the document
I thought it might be of interest to help you with any
more deconstruction. It let me note this he says the illicit
illicitly made fentanyl are being substituted. This is a big
problem in America people are dying. Illicit made fentanyl are
being substituted on the black market for forms of Xanax.
Yikes. So people think they're they're popping Xanax but it's
fentanyl.
Now he is a sounds like That sounds terrible.
He has been a firefighter and paramedic for 17 years. And he
says I personally have run calls on people who have overdosed on
black market prescription drugs. Now this is an interesting
point. Mainly due to, you know, our healthcare system. Well, not
really the healthcare system, but the insurance part of it.
Then how you're covered, you know, people are choosing to go
for black market stuff, which could just be from Canada, for
all I know, but they're probably getting on the street. I
personally run calls on people who have overdosed on black
market prescription drugs, I would imagine this is part of
the problem. What's interesting is the amount needed to kill a
person. I'm referencing your typical penny pincher. And due
to the potency you need a ton of Narcan. In fact, most responding
units won't have enough Narcan on their units to save a person
who's overdosed on fentanyl.
And we this was on the last show or the show before where we had
the guy talking about using Narcan. twice, three times, four
times on some poor guy and then he got Yeah,
this is what we should be talking about. This is what this
is. This is what should be going on in Congress. How do we stop
this crazy shit? But no. Well, I got a few more Comey things if
you want. Sure. Okay. And guy. CBS shockingly shockingly, but
not really, if you take into consideration that CIA and FBI
are fighting have always been fighting. And now I'm not sure
how the new what's his name? Dr. Doolittle who's the new CIA
chief. We have a new
camera. I can't remember his name. He's a hard ass though.
Right? But is he running the show? Or is it this is what I
don't
know is you don't even know anymore who's running the show.
It used to be a figurehead. The CIA
Broadcasting System had this to say about Comey FBI fact that
James Pompeo, that's his name, I'm sorry.
James Comey acknowledged freely that he leaked his personal
memos that he wrote to himself about his meetings with
President Trump to the media. And there's been a lot of
discussion about whether that was legal or not.
Right. And I'm sure that people will bring that up. And whether
or not the attorney general believes that his former FBI
Director broke the law when he took notes of that meeting, and
then turn them over to a law professor at Columbia University
with the intent that he would then disperse them to the media.
I mean, is that lawful? I mean, arguably, that's a government
document. He wrote it on a government computer and a
government vehicle. There's an open legal question about
whether or not pure information is considered property. But but
there is an argument that that memo is government property He
had no business, giving it to a law professor to leak to the
press. Certainly it raises questions of whether it was an
appropriate,
but there's no question about whether there was classified
information in those documents. There was none. And
certainly the former FBI director says it was not
classified. I mean, that's another question. Did he ask for
it to be reviewed for a classification review before he
turned it over to the lab professor?
So the CIA is trying to push a little bit little harder on
Comey and I saw more of this. Dianne Feinstein, Comey
said that Lynch, the request gave him a queasy feeling. He
felt it clearly that Loretta Lynch was giving cover to the
Clinton campaign. Was she?
I can't answer that. I would have a queasy feeling too,
though, to be candid with you. I think we need the students when
do we, this is a very good point. And I think we discussed
it, and we call them a pussy for it. You know, since when is the
FBI that is true. When does the FBI Director bow I felt queasy
about that. Just didn't feel good. It was very uncomfortable.
You
see feeling to them, to be candid with you. I think we need
to know more about that. And there's only one way to know
about it. And that's to have the Judiciary Committee take a look
at that.
So you think it's worth investigating if in a way, this
was Symantec cover given to the Clinton campaign? What was
clearly an investigation vignette?
This is a separate investigation, of course. Yes.
And I don't think we should mix the two. No, let's
not mix that. But she also felt kind of queasy. And then another
CIA guy once again, former director James Woolsey who keeps
coming on CNN. I mean, he's always there and it's paying
him. Well, yeah, they're paying Fareed Zakaria the anti
constitutionalist. Douchebag tries to defend Comey and
Woolzies have none of
it. He insists that the I think by implication, the word leak is
not appropriate. He was a private citizen. These were let
me present his argument. He was a private citizen. These were
notes, recollecting his car, his conversation with the President,
they were not classified. A private citizen is allowed to
share the his notes. You know, in a conversation with any
government official, with a friend with the press that's
leaking involves disclosing classified government
information in an unauthorized way, as you well know, having
been the director of the CIA, not
only except to be classified, there are a number of things
that are extremely sensitive without meeting the technical
requirements for classification and I just found it to stunning
that he would, I think, give up the secrecy of a conversation
with the President United States.
More CIA anti FBI a little bit. What do you think that will ever
mean? It is rather interesting that one of the one that was
really a campaign promise, but lock her up? We're gonna go
after the Clintons, you know, we should totally go after Comey
for being just for being inappropriate.
Well, I Why is it that happens thing is the kicker here that
really needs to be thought about more, because if this guy goes
off the rails in that way he did, then something's going
down. something's gonna happen. In fact, it may be possible now
that I think about it, that the only reason you'd have the guts
to do what he did. And I think it took some nerve is because he
knows something's going down and he doesn't worry, he's not gonna
get killed. He's fine. He's good. Well, then what could it
be? But I don't know. He's, he's a he's one of those guys that
floats around DC circles. And somebody said, you know, they're
gonna go after the maybe they cleanser really under
investigation. The whole thing could be, you know, miss, you
know, they have to do it very carefully, because of all the
David Hill bots out there and the whole face bags would go
nuts. If all of a sudden Hillary was indicted for anything. Can
you imagine?
That would be fun. It'd be great
fun for us.
Well, what else matters? Who cares about anything else?
You'd be reading from Facebook forever?
Because this
war on cash, that's right, everybody. There's a new war on
cash. It's taking place right now in the form of Senate Bill
1241. The title of the bill combating money laundering,
terrorist financing and counterfeiting act of 2017. This
is a good one. You John, you and I are both staunch defenders of
the right to just have cash. Yeah. But they're stepping it up
in many different ways.
In this bill, long game, they're playing by the way.
It's a very long game and they probably won't get everything
passed in this but We already have this law where you cannot
transport more than $10,000 in cash or other monetary
instruments it is now has now been added to this and this new
bill the $10,000 limit was installed initially to combat
terrorist financing. So, if you have to make a report if this
has
always been a $10,000 limit on carrying cash outside the
country,
right, but now, if you have any monetary instruments including
cryptocurrency prepaid credit cards, prepaid cell phones,
prepaid retail gift cards or prepaid coupons, the if you have
any type of instrument for bearer which means whoever
presents it can cash it and there's no amount filled in you
cannot go to jail it used to be five years now now we'll be 10
years just to add that to it but there's a lot of really dumb
stuff in this you know so if you if you issue they say they
actually say in the bill if you issue cryptocurrency over
$10,000 that shows a real lack of understanding of how the
system works and no one issues cryptocurrency but the common
the common for your Bitcoin the coming forward one way or the
other?
Yeah, they'll stick stay they'll fix the language and yeah,
but anyway, if you're suspected this is the part that's really
dangerous if you're suspected of being involved in too much
Bitcoin if you're suspected of being involved in too much
prepaid cell phones, whatever this suspicion is, immediately
FISA warrants are are issued surveillance wiretapping is
engaged, phone, email, etc. It's all in there. Mm hmm. So yeah,
you shouldn't have money slave and and the amount of people who
are calling me including my sister Hey, should I invest in
Bitcoin? Yeah, why don't you invest in Snapchat while you're
at it? I'm pretty sure that this this pop that we got was mainly
because of the ransomware
Yeah, that's what a lot of people you're not the only you
know thinks that I don't know whether it is or not but
ransomware could have easily run that run the bitcoin price up
just the idea of it it could run them yeah, it ran way up and
then it's just kind of starting to dial back down to normal
but it's also it's it's a it's a random result
so back to very very poorly
regulated market. You know, don't trade in Bitcoin.
Man, you don't get it. You get it, man. It's the future of
money, man. You'll get it. Well,
we had the big fire in London.
Yeah, yeah, that thing was unbelievable. I've never seen a
building it just like the entire building is like a like a
alcohol so torch poof. Well, anything quite like it.
I'm sure you've seen by now. There was a group, that local
activist group who for years was saying block they they did this?
They they refurbish, but it's very dangerous. They they didn't
do it right. And they've documented all of this and lo
and behold, this goes live ly in
the British government or even the local government Londoners
and all the rest where they have people monitoring your you know,
have cameras on people's garbage bins, so they don't put a bottle
in the wrong bin and have all these really carried carry but
but here's the thing. These are council flats. You know what the
council flats are? I think they're for low income. Yeah.
Yeah. For the poor, the poor and that the Brits don't care about
the poor let them fry I say I've said this a million times.
Lionell from RT let him fry. Hey, great. Lionell from RT have
a quick comment at the beginning of his podcast 20
buddy with two neurons and a working synapse, the Greenfeld
towers story has to absolutely grab you by the collar and make
you say, Huh, that's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. I'm not
suggesting anything. I'm not bringing up any date in American
history and Eve gerrae See 11th day of September Reverend Oh,
no, no, no, no, I'm just doing this. Maybe there's an emoji for
that kind of interesting
in that case, the word interested in for its immense Do
you stupid people.
The reference, of course is that why didn't this thing collapse?
Yeah.
Why didn't it pancake was it Sam cake like You're like perfectly
go down perfectly
was it made of steel
I don't know what it was. I think it made a break but it
whatever it was made out of it still didn't pancake it just sat
there and became a burning Hogan his skeleton of itself. Unlike
WT C seven, which couldn't have some fire guy standing nearby
say hola
oh so strange
now that will never end we're dead. There's a meme forever
it is yes.
Okay, we have I have a do I do have a global warming report, if
you will. You don't have to open the gate. But I do have Oh, come
on.
Let's open. Let's go. Let's open and let's open it up to the gate
to the gate to the clinic. Let's gentleman the climate gate has
been open. And we are ready.
Our global warming report. Yes,
this should be it.
This snow had many in Tahoe today saying so much for summer.
The National Weather Service said up to five inches is
expected in the higher elevations of the northern
Sierra. Here's the view from our KPI x five Sierra camp. These
conditions forced the weather service to issue an advisory
through tomorrow. warning drivers to be ready for winter
driving conditions in June.
Well, the while the gate is open, the majors research
surveys study in Canada Navy has been cancelled. This was this
involved 40 Scientists from Canada Navy and universities
they were going out into the bay. That would be Manitoba. The
Hudson Bay system I guess. Yes. The study was to study
contributions of climate change and regulation on the Hudson Bay
system however, sadly, it had to be cancelled because the
scientists icebreaker could not get through the ice
unprecedented ice conditions for the global warming study. I tell
you, it's so annoying for these people. I feel bad for them.
Yeah, because you know you're a mockery when that happens.
Well, they get mocked a lot. Yeah, I don't know what to say.
And now we're NASA shooting rockets up that we're going to
test some stuff we're gonna Yeah, we're gonna make some
clouds. Glowing artificial clouds we're gonna make for you.
I like like the glowing glowing. It we're all going to be glowing
in the dark. Well, that's
what's going to happen. They keep doing this, these kinds of
studies. I do have a clip a little mini clip of your, your
pal, Brooke Baldwin.
Oh, from the from the CNN, Brooke. Yeah, you know,
I think she has just kind of lost interest in the job. She
mumbles she's not clear anymore. She doesn't enunciate by any
means. And then this, I got this example of a mixed metaphor,
just throws it out. This is an example of her mumbling. And
then the mixed metaphor shaping the spot about this
new additional velocity of the Trump administration when it
comes to their revised version of the travel ban that's coming
from the Ninth Circuit today talks about that, again,
questions continue about are there tapes, or is the White
House recording conversations, punted that ball down the road?
Again, reiterating what the President said Friday,
essentially, that answer will come in time.
Okay, you either punted the ball or kick the can down the road.
Yeah. You don't punt the ball down the road. Sorry. Getting
thinking of this stupid, mixed metaphor. Yeah,
that's a pretty good one.
Yeah, the catch.
I like that one.
Isn't that Michelle? She has to say.
Brooke doesn't have much to say.
I had watched the Tonys. Oh, you
know, then we miss it. I'm pissed about that. The challenge
was good. Who was hosting? Was it then Neil Patrick Harris?
No, he stopped. He was it was actually if I could get my
throat to stop congestion Ionis the Tonys were hosted by the
actor who everybody loves and adores. Who does Casa cards.
The thing being what's his name being jazz? Kevin Spacey?
Yes, spacey did and he did a couple of things. He did a
couple of bits. He did a Johnny Carson Beatty came out as Johnny
Carson for one bit and wow, did
that really go well? With it
has been gone for so long. Yeah, that I don't think he can
maintain it. And he didn't he he kind of fell out of it. He
couldn't keep it. He was like he couldn't hold the invitation
together. So that should have been good. But then he did come
out later as Bill Clinton and nailed it. Oh, cool. He does a
great Bill Clinton. Anyway, generally speaking He I would
say that Tony's were better.
Who was always the big words of the Hamilton again. Are they?
Are they? Yeah, they
just keep giving Hamilton the award. That's what they brought
like to do. No, I think the show was better. But the Broadway
shows that they were highlighting the ones nominee.
It seemed like a just a bad season.
Did anyone make any jokes about Julius Caesar play? No. Were
there any were there any political that's the only reason
why it was
doing this bit, ah, is that there was maybe one person that
Cynthia Nixon said something. Nixon. Yeah, she's
from Second City.
Yeah. And she said a little Jetta one liner. But then one of
the presenters comes out Cole bear. Oh, yeah. Well, this
is his gig. Now. This is his This was his he's so happy that
he he was probably on the way to get fired before we happen.
But now he is the official Trump hater, which I think is wearing
on him because he's like, you know, he's kind of a moralistic
character, but he just doesn't. He's got this smirk on his face,
and he does material. So he comes out, and he does a bit.
I'm just, I just have the clip of him and his trump bid. Nobody
else was given this much time, but they gave him the time to do
it, because he's gonna slam Trump and that's what we need.
And our audience goes nuts. And there's got their hands over
their hands, and they're clapping and whooping, they're
making a big fuss as every joke goes through. And I'm thinking
to myself, one of the segments of the Tonys was, oh, you know,
we need more government money because of this. And then we
need you know, performing arts and performing arts and needs
some more support. Now, if you want support from the
government, you don't let something like this take place
tonight. Tonight.
That's all I have on your clip. What? You didn't Adam curry.
Yeah, you gave me the throw away.
I gave you that. Okay, I will. I will have this next show.
Oh, my God.
I know. I should have sent you should have said there's only
44k Here John is that can't be much of an act.
I saw two seconds. I don't know sometimes. It's really funny.
And he says one thing.
That was one of my gay Yeah,
I'm ready for a gag you know? No. Good Faith, though.
And I did a good job of setting it up.
You set it up beautifully. You did a full on hay for straddle
fatigue. Mm hmm. It's happening, but
I had made this mistake before. I know. I know exactly how it
happened. I know how it happens.
Yeah, it's because you don't Yeah, I
mean, you don't you know just too much we don't speak No, I'll
tell you how to happen because I've actually produced this clip
what I did was I had I did a fade out and that by
highlighting the fade out that's all when I say that's all I got
saved.
If you want to just stop the show and then go get it then
we'll we'll just pick it up and play it. I mean, I
I can do that. Now. Now. I
want you to suffer. We can play some other I want you to suffer.
Oh Ben let me let me play a little just an ultra mon back my
point is well taken if these guys want money from the
government don't start doing Trump gags
and that is a wrap up of our Tony coverage here on the best
podcast in the universe. Now on to aviation news everybody we
had a what what airline was this? I think this was it was a
Malaysian Airlines. What is m UMU 736? What is the m mu?
That's not not MHS Malaysia
meu
I don't know. I don't recognize this indicator me monkey
union.
I look it up and use 736 They just see Oh, Chinese Chinese
China China Eastern that's what it is China Eastern
China Eastern. I
flew on them once while you're happy didn't fly on this one.
Yeah, the guys took off from Sydney had an engine failure.
I'm just gonna make fun of the Chinese. That's the point of
this whole segment. Because I think he's trying to say the
engine failed number one, it's booked.
Exposure.
I think it's booked engine number one. I don't know what he
was trying to say.
So it sounds like
it was trying to say fuck brother. Let me land again.
We're hooked.
I think that was your that's the extent of this bit. Yeah,
your Colbert joke would have been better. I'm just piling
that bad on top. But yeah, I think it's time to actually play
to play it.
That clip sucks. All right,
good. We're back on track.
I don't do it that often because it's actually bad for him.
I know it's bad for him, but I'm just trying to get started.
He's gonna say bye once every few months yeah it's it's
reasonable. I have this little updates on somebody like that
stupid Congressman that Republican Gao beat the crap out
of the reporter Yeah, got him down and punched him out.
body slammed Body Slam body slammed.
There was witnesses on fox that came on and we were there and
they said yes he did. buddy Sam got on top of them started
punching him in the face as when he broke his glasses. We have
that and remember we have the we had a clip from the fox Yeah,
but
but here's the here's the follow up. This is Congressman gets a
misdemeanor. Listen to this.
Newly elected Congressman Greg Jian forte will plead guilty to
assaulting a reporter. A Montana prosecutor says that the
Republican will make the plea deal Monday to a misdemeanor
charge. Jian forte allegedly knocked down a reporter for The
Guardian newspaper the day before last month's special
election.
misdemeanor if this isn't battery,
hey, I don't I have no idea what what constitutes a misdemeanor?
Well, that misdemeanor means they dropped it down to semi you
know, it's just minor. It's like getting a parking ticket. In
other words, it's bull crap. Yeah, well, crap. Ha,
I think you should. Yeah, I think it's bullcrap. Let me just
check in a local site. What am I gonna say? I find it annoying.
Let me just say oh, another off the
wall clip was a misdemeanor minor wrongdoing. A non
indictable offense. Yeah. So So beating the crap out of some
guys a psycho. Yeah, so then the but it didn't happen that way.
Then God was prepared to believe that he did that.
That's what the fox reporter said and what? They wouldn't be
lying. It sounds to me like he, he got the guy down, threw him
to the ground and started punching me if he did that.
That's not a misdemeanor. What is it? It's a felony.
It's a hobby.
It's a hobby. With that guy. It's a hobby. Yeah, to see his
wife.
I got some more crazy if you want to do that. But you sound
like you're getting ramped up ramping up for
another one here. I get to this one here. I want to get you to
get mo lawsuit and Poland. All right,
next, the story about an inmate incarcerated in America's
infamous Guantanamo Bay military prison. His lawyers are suing
the creators of the CIA's torture program. Overall, this
as part of an inquiry into US led torture in Poland's
complicated story. The lawsuit was announced by human rights
group reprieve on Wednesday. It seeks to gain information from
two military psychologists about the torture of Abu Zubaydah. Its
so called CIA black sites in Poland is where it's alleged to
have happened in the Polish government's complicity in those
activities. He was initially detained in Pakistan in 2002, on
suspicion of being an al Qaeda operative and then sent to
Poland. Since then, he's been held at several other sites has
never been charged. He's been at Guantanamo now, for the past 11
years.
Doubt here's, here's the thing. Poland has cooperated with the
CIA. Poland was like mentioned by George Bush as being one of
the few countries that helped us in Iraq. Yeah, Poland, Poland,
Poland. Why does the government of the United States not allowed
Polish citizens, unlike all the rest of Europe, to come to the
United States without a visa, but
as you know, this has been one of my main points. This was a
campaign promise that the President made. He said, I think
he even said within two weeks of becoming president, because
they're not in the Visa Waiver Program that is envisioned and
we've discussed this a great length we thought maybe it has
something to do with Polanski. There's a number of different
reasons why perhaps, you know, you know, the wrong Jews. I
mean, there's all this crazy stuff, but I personally feel
that this is we look really shitty towards Poland. He, the
President promised he said that I will get you on the Visa
Waiver Program that to my knowledge that hasn't happened
and I don't understand what is Poland we got our gear in there.
Everybody in Poland thinks it's the it's the Israeli lobbyists.
Yeah, I said they got the wrong Jews in total are the Jews were
they? What is the
gospel of Polish gay? We're getting rid of the Jews. I guess
they said that in 1940. And as the mochi as the Nazis took
over, this is not well documented. This is nonsense.
This is ridiculous. And it's an embarrassment give Poland the
get them in the Visa Waiver Program.
I really don't understand that. They they also they they cracked
the code before the Enigma machine. Yes. There's the other
thing. Yeah. Not Not that we shouldn't be thankful for that.
Maybe the Jews should be thankful for that. Just saying.
Well, there's a lot of stuff from
anyway, just found this guy here. Yeah.
There's a lot of stuff that happened years ago that we still
feel repercussions today. It's been kind of a theme Um, 40
years ago is when this is still referenced today and 40 years
ago sounds like a long time, but it was a short letter published
on January 10 1980, in the New England Journal of Medicine that
is often referred to in medical literature. And it's titled
addiction, rare in patients treated with narcotics, by Dr.
Herschel jick. Yes. And he read this has not been this isn't no
one has disputed this or done anything about it since he wrote
1980 letter was cited, it's been cited over 600 times. It's
called allied prescribers is the is the main term here, but the
medical profession, apparently I'm just learning this
continuously refers back to this research, study, etc. which now
I think we could probably still thought cigarettes for okay
1980. And this is leading to North has led to just this
incredible epidemic that we have and I got a note from one of our
listeners average random Joe. He says listen to last Thursday
show where you were discussing drug addiction just had another
human resource and my wife had a C section. My wife had several
vaginal births before this, but this was our first C section the
nurses started asking my wife every time they saw her if she
needed the opioid that was prescribed to her, my wife start
freaking out thinking that maybe something must be coming like
some kind of late pain or something wearing off and the
pain setting in. She asked her OB or OB, when he came when he
came by if she should get the if she should use the the opioid
and asked why the nurses kept pushing the drugs. He is
actually part of a group that goes to DC to talk about drug
use. He points out in the early 2000s. There was a federal law
that created the fifth vital pain. I didn't know this. If the
hospital doesn't manage your pain well enough. They can have
their federal funding restricted. So they're
incentivized to drug you up. And he points out that opioid opioid
addiction blew up shortly after this happened. And this doctor
goes to Congress to testify it. How about that?
Well, that's interesting. It's the same thing happened. You
know, Jesse got a bunch of opioids pushed on her when she
had the baby. really adorable.
What kind anything good? Did she say? I can't remember.
It was a good one. I can't remember the exact one. But I
don't take it. I told her. Don't take it. Whatever. You don't
take it. Those things are worth a lot of money on the streets.
Do not take give me that baggie? Did she? It's like no, she
didn't shut it down. No, she's selling them on the street or
not. But
we all know the answer to that question is if she took them or
not,
it's just like the wine. Do I get wines in my cellar that I
can't afford to drink?
Right? You can take that opioids but down the street this is not
worth very much. Your This is contradictory. It's all cheap
leads to fake
stuff. The real deal this is not to fake stuff
while we're on the drug tip and I'm very worried about this. The
Justice Department really is ratcheting up this they're their
idea of cannabis enforcement.
Yeah, this is this is to me is the real flaw with Jeff
Sessions. Who seems like a Trump What are you talking about? And
Trump both of them through this this this? They're really
they're completely out of the out of touch with reality.
Luckily, I think the kids if you look at the Eric era, yeah.
There are a couple of I mean, these guys aren't smoking dope.
I don't know who is. And probably Kimberly, I'm guessing
party girl. No, Tiff, Tiff are Tiffany, one of my Kimberly
Tiffany jeans. But Trump himself doesn't seem to have a clue and
he doesn't even drink anything. So,
but he should know better. The I know. If that if that continues,
that is going to be a real tipping point just to use an M
five m term. I mean, Scott, Scott Adams, who's a notorious
weed smoker. He's like, if they start to go after marijuana, he
says I will turn around and be so anti Trump that we have and I
believe it and and I would I would be very anti Trump for
that very reason. That specific reason
well, here's the thing so many bitch and moan at me and some
email about this. And they've had some complaint about it. And
I said to what people need to do if you're a Republican or a
Democrat, either one and you want to you want to tend to
trend to continue, which is the legalization because it was
stupid in the first place to make it illegal is throw the
10th amendment at that. Where's the, you know, the old the great
Republican Oh, the food sessions in particular, he's like a, you
know, a real classic Republican. Where's the 10th? Amendment? The
10th amendment doesn't allow that law to exist. If it goes to
the Supreme Court, it should get thrown out. I think this is a
states rights issue. If you want to make marijuana illegal, you
have to do it the way you did alcohol when they made that
illegal, they had to pass a constitutional amendment. Yep.
Where's the constitutional amendment that makes pot
illegal?
So why are they doing this? I'm trying to understand, it makes
no sense to me.
I think it's I think it's either the religious, right, who are a
little you know, you shouldn't do anything, you shouldn't take
any intoxicated, or the argument you hear all the time, which Oh,
there's already enough toxic ins out there. You don't need
another one. And all the rest of it, but again, I'm gonna say it
again, if you're a Republican, and you're a constitutionalist,
and you really do think all this is so important, then why aren't
you obeying the 10th? Amendment? Why are you pushing this federal
law down the throats of states that are passing these
legalization acts? This is nonsense. This is crazy. That's
what you go after them for that's what you talked about
sessions. I thought you were a Republican, you don't believe in
the 10th amendment. It's actually in the Constitution,
the 10th amendment. This is the thing I heard from the guy who
wrote the book on the 10th amendment. He says, The
Constitution makes very clear that states have these rights to
make these laws like that 10th amendment came up. They put the
10th Amendment in just a double down on the exact same thing
here. Here we go here. We don't believe it. Here it is, again.
It's very important to 10th amendment Dateline
December 8 2016, President Elect Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany
Trump 23 was found in a sticky situation which was caught at a
nightclub smoking marijuana were their friends. Hashtag twisted,
Tiff.
Twist outstanding and when you use hashtag is another meaning.
But you know if we could just get everybody who was on opioid
opioids on the weed there's a reverse gateway drug or gateway
to sanity and some of this weed today, you know, that's that's
good.
It's a little too good. I wouldn't even smoke at it if I
had to. I'll take an edible and edible. Yeah, the edibles are
fine.
You know, the edibles are they can be pretty heavy.
You don't. Yeah, anything can be pretty heavy. You use too much.
But can you just take an edible ones before the show? That would
be kind of cool. Just one,
I think I get bluffed my way through.
Yeah. Well,
I'll do it. I'll do one of these days. I'll take an animal before
the show. And then after that question, every show for about a
year just go no, no, no, no, not every
let's do an experiment. You take the edible I'll smoke my edible.
Didn't you him? Didn't you eat? What was your last edible
experience? Did you eat a brownie before football game or
something that went?
No. And I've had to edible since then. Because we're in
Washington State. They're legal. But my worst experience. It
wasn't a bad experience. But I was at a at the Super Bowl some
years ago. And my brother in law had brought brownies and he was
tickets to Mimi's bread. I thought they were brownies.
And he thought it was normal for you. Someone brought brownies to
the game John really?
I don't know what I was thinking I was gonna cool brownies citing
Oh, brownies. Oh, that's nice. And I ate one and then I then
said it just eaten one eight by five. And so on the second half
when this thing finally takes all it takes about it took about
an hour and a half an hour and a half, I guess. Yeah. Well, you
knew immediately what was going on. Yet? What's in those
brownies? And everyone? Everybody looks at me like what
do you think is in him, you idiot. Oh, man, so to this day,
so this day there was I forgot to running back at the time. I
was watching intently. And the running back was coming down one
of the they had this really outstanding guy to a running
back. He was a good receiver and he's gonna run away. He's coming
down there. Anyway, these are endzone seats, obviously. And so
about you can get a good view as a good stadium to watch this.
And he took a he did a little thing a little bitty move very
subtle. They get the cornerback or safety that just just stepped
in one direction. Yeah. And just enough for the guy to go around
him. So I said, Wow, that was outrageous. I went back to watch
the thing on television later, which I recorded it. It wasn't
there.
I would love to get high with you. That's one thing we've
never done.
Yeah, probably never will
Wow, I am really high
new another newsflash we've been tracking this we've been
tracking the broadcast industry we've been tracking broadcast
radio cable just watching the slow demise of the M phi them.
And we already know that I heart is in deep, deep trouble now
cumulus media, which used to be a fantastic company, cumulus
media was the I mean, that was a great radio company and I think
they
did they lost their jobs or they
merged with Westwood one, you know, they have them there was a
big Bonanza, everyone's getting rich and was getting out and you
know, left radio with what you hear. Richard get out and you
let the thing languish. So here, long suckers just to give you an
idea of how they're doing in 2015, September the stock price?
Well, let's go back to 2014 2014. Cumulus stock was
trading at $64.04. In 2015, it was $5.45 and close the market
yesterday. A whopping 52 cents. What a short.
Exactly.
I'm going to show my school by Joanie to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that and oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
But we do have a few people to thank and whether they short the
market or not, is beyond our control. Yes. Ignacio Ignacio
Salome came in with 100 bucks, but he's one of our regulars.
And I want to read a note from him because he, he just finished
a book that he self published. I mean, guy got it right here.
Hold on.
Ah, okay. Now he hits on the Amazon
or he's an Amazon guy. You can find it on Amazon. The book is
called guess and he needs review. So people go look at the
book and help him. Okay, what's it? Just Gestalt prime? Okay,
and I'm looking at this thing. And it's like, I see. It's well,
typeset.
This is done through Createspace. Or some mechanism?
Yeah, I
think so. 349 page novel. well written, he has. It's got a
beautiful cover. And he did so because I talked to him on the
phone about this because he wanted to do this and and I
said, Well, here's the way you can self publish, you go to
create space to do you. There's all kinds of mechanisms out
there. And he's discovered he's taken it to the next level. And
it makes me want to read this note. But first, I'll say just
because it says his last donation is outstanding quality.
last few episodes, he couldn't help but send us some money. He
wants him screaming women at the end of the song, at the end of
the donations, I mean, both He enjoyed his paperback copy of my
novel Gestalt prime isn't a great the quality of the
publishing job by Amazon. Since that phone call, we had
discovered the entire industry built around self self
publishing, I used this company called a demo demand czar for
the amazing cover design. And I have to say, top notch
professional looking cover, which is a real problem with a
lot of self published books. Because yeah, that's really what
I'm one of them by the way, you know, I know how to use
Photoshop. Got to ends there. And I do I know how to use
Photoshop. He says the amazing cover design and ebook
formatting, they did the eBook format. I didn't know that
unfortunately, since it's so he says unfortunately, since it's
so easy to self publish with these platforms, it just means
the market is saturated with books with crap. Yes, I have
spent the last few weeks researching marketing strategies
to get it out there while I work on the follow up book. So you
don't have to mention the book on the show. But yeah, we did.
Yeah, we do. Yeah, I do. It's actually and he says he wants to
send you a copy but hasn't got any address.
I don't have I don't have an existing address that my
address.
But actually what his actual words were I would like to send
Adam because I couldn't find his mailing address. Plus, who knows
if he received it given the headaches he's having with the
address of his new place? Which is right. Anyway, he contributed
to Indiegogo. Oh, thank you. If you could play a couple of sound
effects he like the pew pew sound here cracks him up plus
some writing karma if there's some of it or the screams and he
wants screams away. He wants a crazy feminist screaming woman
and those other screaming clips and the threat map pew pew with
the karma
I forget how funny that woman is. Which one does well get? You
got a lot of them but there's a couple in there that are just
gems in terms of screaming
Oh, my favorite is not a woman. That's the goat.
Yes, the goat. And by the way, every time I
know that's cute. Yeah, that was the goat. Yeah. Every time you
hear it?
Every time I hear it, I don't think I don't really remember
the goat. Sir, that's amazing sound from a goat. Sir slot
corn. Loomis, California. 9999 9090s. Is John's new
analysis, New Age analysis was terrific. Yes,
your newsletter was included an essay. Now this is an essay you
could have, you could have easily sent this to any
publication. While no, that's not true, a lot wouldn't take
it. But it was really good. I mean, I got people were were
posting about this. And they're like, it's so good. They didn't
want to post the whole thing and doing little excerpts from your
being this that was a very valuable newsletter. And I
appreciate it. If you want to give us a synopsis for people
who don't subscribe, and we always have it on the homepage
of the show, I'm gonna get that I'm gonna put the newsletter out
there and other some other mechanism. But I do want to
mention somebody went on and I like long form news, because
I've done essays before I do him about once every few months. And
I said to the guy who sent that note that complimentary note,
and I says, Well, the great thing about the essays is
they're very interesting, but they always send the donations
off a cliff. Never get good donations when I do those essays
ever.
It truly is remarkable. That if you just say, hey, we need
money. And that just be the subject line. It works better
than giving real value often. That's true, but I'm not quite
sure why that is.
I've always wondered, but I do have the you know, I had this
essay was in. I was thinking about it. And I realized because
I made a kind of a premature version of it. In Twitter, I
said something about this new age thing. I said I better write
this up. Because you know somebody's gonna it's gonna dawn
on somebody else do and what it really amounts to is that Trump
is a, somebody came back and said, That which is not in the
essay, would I claim in the essays that Donald Trump is a is
a kind of poster child for the New Age Movement because it's a
positive thinker. He's like, you know, I'm okay. You're okay.
What color's your parachute was not another one that
was mostly about getting work. That was a little different, but
I think it might be, you know, it was in the same vein of these
cornball books that came out during the 60s and 70s. And it
led to the self esteem movement. And if anybody likes to self
esteem, you got Donald Trump, who's got so much self esteem.
It's
ludicrous, so much self esteem, we're tired of self esteem. And
so
the essay discusses how Trump got this way. And somebody's
pointed out, it's not in the essay, but somebody pointed out,
did you also know which is adds to my theory that he was a huge
Maven. And his minister was Norman Vincent Peale. And Norman
Vincent Peale was the Think positive guy who wrote lots of
material and he was the real uptempo. You're okay, I'm okay.
Were I Right? Yeah. And he was and he was an influence on Trump
too. So I'm concluded at the end of this essay, I conclude that
when people get all bent out of shape and hate Trump so much,
they're actually hating themselves. Ooh, yes.
Yeah. Hating themselves for being who they have become.
Onward with the donations. And thanks for the compliment. Sir

version of Romeo and Juliet with Trump and Putin I'd like to know
how much Priebus grins Priebus and says it's a blessing. How
much self tanner does he have on his lips? But I mean to say it's
a blessing and to kiss his butt like that. It's noisy.
I don't know, man. That kind of humor and dimension a is little
dimension b
b That's what I meant.
See, I'm confused because you always get these confused. It's
very interesting to me. You do that consistently.
Just call me stupid.
Oh, I did.
Senator Gillibrand was speaking at a forum at New York
University she's
still worse Yes, she
is. She felt he's
one of the women she's one of the women in Congress who made
the claim that one in five females in all the colleges are
rape victims. Ah,
well this is yeah. She made that claim. She's one of them. Well,
she she has sex on the mind has
has he kept any of these promises? No. Fuck no. Instead,
she said
she says what she said oh yeah, but it gets better she said Fuck
no. Tell has trumped she said congressperson
This is usually repetitive. She's a senator. She's a senator
Congress person senator.
I'm pretty sure she's a senator. Fuck no.
Inside the house bring this up that they can't do anything
would be profane because that was Newt Gingrich. And he's
referring to Newt Gingrich nailed it. And he's referring to
this,
which again, she doesn't know I'm so sorry.
Why does that get a round of applause?
Thank you. This is dimensioned be where you can just go on
stage with this was not like Millennials young people. This
was kind of a classy forum. There was a sit down interview
which will have thinking there's little pieces in the clip And
she she I think she even explained well I you know this
is the young hip thing everyone says fuck now be a Madonna says
Didn't you hear we moved into the dimension you know we choose
love fuck you that's exactly what this is. If anyone is off
the rails is these people. I mean it is also it is weak. We
you and I talk about this all the time outside of the show my
cursing which of course a lot of it comes because my Tourette's I
have I should have a handicap parking pass really. But it's
not okay. It's you can use these words. If you're in that kind of
setting. You can use them for great effects sometimes, but
this I don't think was a good one and she doubled down on it.
No, fuck no. instead. Yeah, why are they applauded? Oh, she said
the F word. That's insane.
Sorry. I understand this is a younger audience. It's okay. And
even though we as Democrats are on the right side of almost all
issues, many hardworking families just haven't felt that
we've been fighting for them. Fundamentally, if we are not
helping people, we should go the fuck home.
We should go the fuck home. Fuck this. Fuck that. And here's this
guy, the moderator. I asked her about it. Did he tell you that's
how it's pronounced.
I think it was. I think it was coverage. And he just was taped.
And he was bitching about the media and he just forgot to
finish. You know, I wish I wish I could believe some words to
but my 90 year old mom is sitting in the front row. Bless
you. I'm sorry. I ask anyway.
Is that about your that's that is the only correct question.
What are they thinking? And why is the audience clapping for it?
This dimension BS odd man, crazy stuff.
Really would have gotten a huge rise out of the audience. Is his
90 year old grandmother standing up and yelling some expletive
would have brought the house down. The old Betty White man.
Yeah,
you're right. Hey, Trump can blow me that would have been
fantastic. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of hate out there in
dimension B, here's mica beat, you know, that daughter of the
elitist Brzezinski?
Well, and if the President seems delusional about his
accomplishments, you can point to no further than that room
that is helping confirm this sort of sense of totally
exaggerated self that he has.
And I think it's very
which is exactly to your point, John, about his upbringing by
being a child of the I'm okay, you're okay era. She's nailing
it. But she's gonna go off the rest have totally exaggerated
self that he has.
And I think it's very telling the first week we went in there
we went in 19 days into it. And it was very obvious when he
asked how I thought the first week went and I said not well,
and he was stuck. He kept repeating that for an hour and a
half to anybody who would listen how shocked he was. It was very
obvious at that time we've set it on the air that nobody in the
White House had told him that the first executive order had
been a calamity. He told him about the missteps about crowd
size and nobody had told him that lying about 3 million votes
What did he did he lie about 3 million votes? What was the lie?
I must have missed that one. It was
no lie about 3 million. There was any lies I know what it was.
I know what it was. That's when he said he believed that 3
million people voted illegally. Okay, I remember that. Yeah, I
do. I remember there's no way of documenting that it was no in
fact it probably high but then again you never know I mean,
it's possible especially in California where it's there's
got to be some explanation for the fact that everyone in
California 85% of everybody votes Democrat
but I believe Joe's is confusing the that statement with the 3
million votes in the general data surplus to to Hillary
Clinton in the in the general election. It just it's weird.
That nobody inside that White House tells you the truth.
In the White House, let me just say there are no real men in the
inner circle of the White House.
No real men. What does that mean? What is a real man
according to her isn't a real man these days a guy wears a
pink hat what is the real What does she want real men? I
thought that but real men was passe you can't you have to be a
renaissance man.
I don't know how you can manage to watch this stuff without just
pulling your hair out. Oh, well,
here comes this is the What the hell heads will explode on this
one. We what we do specifically is we track media. We track it
for a whole bunch of reasons. We deconstructed the I'm pretty
sure that the coverage that a candidate Trump got during this
election cycle was pretty much negative. And we've heard this
meme in dimension be about it being overwhelmingly positive.
And this confuses me. I, maybe we maybe you weren't straddling
properly, but to me, there was a lot of coverage, but it was
no objective person in the world. I would thought the media
was all in for Trump. Oh, well.
Okay, well, that's too bad, because there's a whole show of
them. I think it's amazing that if you must have Newt Gingrich,
on the view, no less on the view.
It's amazing. If you look at the, for example, CNN is 93%
negative coverage, according to Harvard, 93%. Negative. I think
it's a miracle that Trump has any approval.
rupee is now waving her hands, she's waving them. I can hear it
is 93% negative coverage? According to Harvard? 93%,
negative. I think it's a miracle that Trump has any approval.
Do you mean because I recall, and maybe I'm crazy, maybe but I
recall from the time the gentleman came down the the
escalator until the time he won. He was 24/7 on every television
on every network. Yeah. For making one of the the head of
the network saying, yeah, it wasn't good for America, but it
was great for
us. I liked that making one of the heads of the network say
wasn't great for America, but it was great for us. That was a
shareholder meeting that was recorded. Where what's the
douchebags name? CBS douchebag Moonves Moonves said, this is a
great, he's actually one of yours will be
making one of the the head of the network saying, yeah, it
wasn't good for America. But it was great for us. It was all
positive. until people started asking questions. Now, that
wasn't all pause. I'm sorry. You live.
All noisy, but
it was a 98% of it was positive.
98% Positive.
Okay. Wow. Talk about diluted. That's now we witnessed a whole
thing, of course, and what I think they're annoyed by. And
that media really is partly responsible for the rise of
Trump, because they use him as a foil for their entertainment
purposes by ridiculing him and having him on all the time by
reporting
by reporting on him in the Huffington Post under the
entertainment section. Remember, this
was moved into the entertainment section session and we saw that
they were there's a clip we played with every once in a
while we're Dan Coulter's on on the GMA show with the
Stephanopoulos? And she says, Oh, yeah, Trump's gonna be the
nominee. And they all laughed at. Ah, you're nuts. And they
kept putting him on the air. So this was it really was negative
coverage because it was done as look at this clown. And look at
the New York Daily News. They did a newsletter I think with
about 40 of their ground. Not that many maybe 20 of their
cover pages all with him dressed in a clown outfit with a big red
nose. How's that positive coverage? They're starting to
equate coverage with positive coverage. Wow. So they're
diluted?
Yes, they're diluted
98% was positive. Really?
Let's get out of here John. I can't.
America first, America first.
Sparky newsflash just came in. President Vladimir Putin,
according to Russia today says Russia is ready to grant James
Comey asylum. And that the former FBI director, quote,
should be aware of that. Oh, then he went on to say the
question the difference between Comey and Edward Snowden that's
great during his annual q&a, which I guess just aired, is
Putin Putin said, Call me suddenly said he recorded a
conversation with Trump and then he handed the tape over to the
media, which is strange. Let's find out what Putin smoke and
lay off the edibles Vladimir. What's the difference between
him and Mr. Snowden? He's a human rights activist, not an
intelligence chief. Man, we used to be the funny people on the
world stage we that was we used to make the jar
comics are so bent out of shape about the body Hillary not
winning, that they're not funny. I mean, I follow a bunch of them
on Twitter. And this is like they're just and then like Joss
Whedon, the guy who?
Who used to listen to the show, I'm sure it doesn't listen
anymore.
Oh, I'm dove. Now. We lost a lot of listeners when we started
deconstructing the kind of the media bias, and a lot of people
accused me Oh, are you guys are just Trump? No, we're not. We
deconstruct media bias and damage to be right now very
biased against Trump. And all we're doing is pointing out the
bias when I don't care. Wow,
stop, stop defending yourself doesn't make any difference. The
guys on Reddit won't care.
They are they're not listening anyway, they're already left.
They left the building. So did you get the the somebody sent a
snarky note on Twitter saying, and they sent me the cognitive
photocopies of this talking points on the Washington Post
story? Yeah, and the guy snarky thing was, here's the talking
points that were going around, I guess I know where he got him
from, but they look like the jet the real deal. But
unfortunately, there's so many of them. And it's all the
talking points that you'd use if you were Republican. And the guy
says, let's count how many Adam uses. Which is again in that
same vein, you know, somehow. But there's these talking
points, and I don't want to read through them because there's
like too many of his two full pages. But I'm I do want to put
them in the next newsletter, these actual
talking points. And did I repeat them properly? That Do I deserve
a check or what's going on?
You didn't I don't say well, there's a couple of things you
might have
baffles me is that somehow people think that you know that
we're getting paid? Is that what they're thinking? Or do we just
like we were so we're all in and we
wish about the oil companies. They're the ones with the big
checkbooks. Let's get some money out of them.
Well, they're not so big anymore.
Here's the conclusion of all the talking points. I'll just read
these. There's only five of them four of them. Conclusion The
illegal leaks are the only crime here. The investigative
committees have clearly struck out on collusion charge and are
now shifting to baseless obstruction of justice charges.
Three there's absolutely no case for obstruction of justice and
for when is this fishing expedition going to answer we
can get back to the real issues that matter to Americans. And
yeah, I don't think I said any of that. I don't think he said
any of those and I would like to put this in the next newsletter
as an attachment or or actually I'll maybe I'll just dig came in
as JPEG images so I'll just put them in but seriously,
and I've had some stress personal stress recently just do
nothing super just stuff to do just stuff. But I'm very very
tired. I really am very tired. But the other night I caught
myself I was I went on a Twitter hate rampage.
Oh, I see I am I always I use what I've done. I've taken
completely taken with rare exceptions only that if there's
a funny cartoon or something I'm maybe I'll retweet it. But
generally speaking if it's a if it's a bias tweet that I whether
I like it or not, I will not retweet it I will not get
involved. I refused to get involved because I look at my
numbers and you can see it you know, people don't like certain
people, myself included to be political on Twitter.
Oh, but this wasn't about this wasn't being political. It's
just be people who are rude. An example. Oh, block an example?
Block? What? block block? Yeah, but I want to give you an
example. Okay. still call me It's so boring. Give it up
already. No one wants to listen to it. And then and I'm just
like, if you have some feedback, send me an email. And we can
maybe I'll engage but why do you want to go on my Twitter feed
and say I suck at my job. And then when I say Hey, fuck, you.
Gotta be okay. You so this is not the same guy on the show.
So yeah, it kind of is. But no, but I, yeah, I'm telling you,
I'm cracking. I'm cracking. I don't think Oh, I
see. Well, you gotta find some other things to talk about
besides this idiotic politics, like you said. At the beginning
of the show, you found two or three items that had nobody's
even covering this other stuff. Yeah, I'm surprised they covered
that burning down building. And when they covered it, by the
way, I think it was a piss poor coverage from everybody. They
had lots of nice pictures of you like a burning building. That's
all we can talk about the ethics that live there. They didn't
talk about anything like that.
No, no. What if someone told me that, that these buildings, they
are covered in poly U three, no poly something or other for
insulation is highly flammable. Yeah.
Yeah. They just want to kill these people, it seems to me and
me, if we look at it from the British perspective of the upper
classes is, you know, maybe they won't, but
it's it's a societal thing. That happens. And it started with a
chat room, which I, I think we valiantly tried to elevate them
to the war room to be something very specific to be very helpful
during the show. And I and I'm giving them props for that. And
I've stopped doing that. Because it you know, I don't know what,
it's something just people have no awareness of anything.
Now, this is the new world we live in.
Yeah, yeah. And it because of Twitter, because everyone can,
you know, could post their one line joke, which I would say,
let me just use the number 98% are just not funny. But it ruins
everything. You can't you it becomes unusable. And people
come up with well, we can have more moderators, or we can have
a separate rooms and you don't understand all of you do it.
Everybody does this, this I'm a I'm a comedian bit. And they do
it. Just you know, it's not funny. Most of it's not some of
it's funny. And I appreciate
that. That's the problem. But you just said is absolutely the
problem. Some of it is funny, right? None of it was funny that
we'd be good to go. The problem is some of it's funny, and it
gets a lot of attention. So people all want to be funny.
This is a this is the nature of people that are out there. Well,
that guy was funny. And I can be funny, too. I'm funny. I know. I
know something that's funny.
Well, if I, if I may say you just said it yourself. I'm not
like this at all. But you said oh, I could see to my numbers.
You are actually concerned how many followers you have. I don't
give a shit. I don't care one iota. That's never. I don't care
if
you're not using Twitter the way I'm using it. How are you using
it?
How different are you using it?
I'm using it mostly for crowdsourcing information.
That's when it's supposed to be for. But what you get is
comedians, and people are rude. They're just rude.
That's why I do more blocking than you do. I
am no no, no, no, no, I do a lot of blocking. And this is my
favorite email. Why did you block me? And then but don't
give me their Twitter handle. I got Hey, okay. And well, I'm
just I'm just identifying
that I'm cracking a little bit. And I don't know
why. I'm not sharing it. I don't Yeah, it's mad you get mad I
think you blow off steam once in a while the chat room actually
for people out there don't listen live. We have cut stuff
out of the show. Yeah, we're Adam has exploded about
something that chatroom some chats that these chatroom guys
has a couple of. Now I hate to be saying this because it's Oh,
that's interesting. Maybe I can get I mean, it's stupid. It's
stupid. This. This is stupid. But you have a guy who says
every time I say interesting, I do expect to hear that. Okay.
Yeah, I'm helping you. You are and it's and it is stupid,
though. Some guy Oh, that's interesting. Interesting is
stupid. And maybe I can get him to blow up at me. And now how I
made my day. says yes, it's true. It's true is true.
When but here's here's the here's the most interesting
thing. That stupid I know. I did it on purpose. The most stupid
thing the most stupid thing. I'm reading the chat room as we're
discussing if you know what the universally what the advice is.
Get off the air suckers
know Hey, man used to smoke weed packable
back a bowl.
I like Adam better on weeds. There you go. Like how am I
supposed to take that comment? I'm sorry. You hate me? Well
watch this. Let's see tech exams.net Kick tech exams
so you're actually going out of your way to kick somebody out of
the chat room? Yeah, take exams, whoever that is, is take exams.
I scroll down I see a little girl gloves when you do these.
Here we go. Here we go.
I'm gonna kick them watch this. Boom. Cool.
Let me feel bad. Oh,
no, no, I'm trying to tell you that I have psychological issues
and and you're just making light of it.
I am you're right, I'm callous.
Well look, but he knows that luckily there are people with
with more psychological issues than I have because then we can
mock them. Mark Ruffalo, Mark Ruffalo, the fine Hollywood
actor of fine Hollywood actor potato faced actor do you know
as I was as a recording, clipping this a bit this is the
guy from Fox who always thinks he's a great joke writer what's
his name? Greg got filled got filled whatever his name is Greg
good filled Yeah, he thinks he's a great writer. Yeah, he has all
his notes written down on the five it dude no one's looking at
you. We're all looking at Guilfoyle. And
we're not we're looking at her legs No, I
think I'm not too big on it I'm not big on her at all. She just
fascinating to watch He reminds me a lot of my first wife
completely stuck together like Mr. Potatohead so there I think
you I think that we're getting to a point that may be analogous
to the pirate ships in the North Sea back in the 70s the news
organizations are now yelling at each other but really yelling
and you hear this gut felt like calling calling people names
about their appearance it's we may run into do you mean what
happened with radio Caroline and radio North Sea?
I don't remember the history you were involved in that so yeah,
they
bombed them they they blew up the ship because they wanted
to remember this Yeah.
Oh my god there's so many document I'll send you a link to
watch some of this stuff is very funny. Anyway, here's Mark
remark ruff.
Hello. Is demanding MSNBC stop hiring white people. He actually
tweeted a petition saying tell MSNBC NBC News to stop the white
conservative hiring spree. The petition implores quote don't
promote right wing hate how cowardly to cast divergent
opinion as hateful I guess they know they're lefty dribble can't
compete so they smear other voices as evil to eliminate
actual diversity of ideas. So who are these hateful people
that this network is hiring George Will Nicole Wallace Mike
Greta Yeah real outright outright goons. If only Mark had
the guts to focus on the violent fascist on his side the scum who
throw urine at young women at protests who stabbed police
forces who demand days to celebrate racism that your
people Marco
it could have easily been in the alternate universe this clip
Yeah.
Do me this you know I really want to I want to continue to
call out racism real racism which they this is this is
racism. Yeah, totally. And if we if we just accept it if we just
keep don't say anything about it, we
don't it this thinks that you've been redefined by the dimension
be
That's true. First of all, it's racist, not racist. And it says
no to anything. Why? You didn't vote for Hillary racists. If
you're a black person who is a Republican racist. You're a
racist. Oh,
how about if you're gay? Oh, if you're a gay Republican. Big I
got I got two gay Republicans here. This house in the house
everybody. This is about pride month. I think where are we in
gay pride month I believe we are have actually yes Gay Pride
Month and they are being shunned from the Pride March because
they're bad gays that the wrong kind of gays bad days that
you can't you can't include the gay Republicans that we're gonna
draw our money from your institutions because you do not
stand for inclusion.
Brian Talbert and Derek Van Cleave say they're calling for
Bank of America, Wells Fargo and PNC among others to withdraw
their sponsorship of the Charlotte Pride Parade. This
after they say their group representing gay Republicans for
Trump was denied afloat for the August events
were members of the gay community but we have the elite
gays who want to stand up and say that they speak for us all
and we're here living proof that they don't we are part of this
gay community and we're not going anywhere.
Charlotte prides spokesperson says the group's application was
initially denied because of the gays for Trump history of public
comments against groups, including transgender
individuals, people of color and immigrants.
There you go bad gays. I like the elite gays that's kind of
cool. That sounds like a real thing that they're talking
about. They're the elite gays are
well of course this is a publicity stunt. But it's
accurate I'm sure that they you know of the gate you know if
you're gonna be gay you have to be a Democrat. You have to
follow the certain rules you have to have a checklist it's
like the Conservatives are the same way years ago when the oh
he's not a conservative or he's a rhino they had all these
things you had checklist you didn't check this box in that
box all you have to be against has to be totally against
abortion and check that box. Or you're no good. Yeah, and all
these groups you're
not a good gay used to be, you know, certainly with men like
you like penis. Okay, you're gay, though. You're now you're
not a good gay. And then you're not bad gay. I like bad gay.
Katy Perry. That, man this this poor girl was lost. I don't know
what happened to her. A lot of people claim she's total MK
Ultra. And there was some weird she does weird stuff at con.
We've seen weird behavior from her. Yes. And she was now she's
very, very sorry. She's very sorry. And she did an interview
with this may have been a YouTube or a podcast, I'm not
quite sure. She had to apologize for cultural appropriation of
her hair. And more.
I've made several mistakes even in like the this is how we do
video about how I wore my hair. And having a hard conversation
with one of my empowered angels clear about what does it mean?
Why Why can't I wear my hair that way? Or what is the history
behind wearing the hair that way? And she told me about the
power in black woman's hair, and how beautiful it is and the
struggle. And I listened. And I heard and I didn't know and I
will never understand some of those things. Because of who I
am. I will never understand. But I can educate myself educate
myself and that's what I'm trying to do along the way. And
even then, you know my intention to like appreciate Japanese
culture. I did it wrong with a performance and I didn't know
that I did it wrong until I heard people saying I did it
wrong. And sometimes that's what it takes is it takes someone to
say out of compassion out of love. Hey, dude, this is where
the origin is you know and do understand and not just like a
clap back you know? Because it's hard to hear those clap back
sometimes and you want it your ego just wants to turn from
them. And I've had I've been so grateful to have great teachers
and great friends that will really hold me accountable
man you poor girl. Boy she's pathetic
my Millennials stay Whoa.
I love the empowered the my empowered angels alerted me to
this I wonder what that means is she does she speak to angels?
Does she have a Greg? Like my little monster? I
think she's referring to her you say monsters? Yeah.
My empowered angels Okay, man but that's that's sad sad it
is sad because she's she's under the defensive about everything
ever which is Yeah.
Oh, you can't do this. You can't say oh your culture
appropriately. Oh, that and but you have to get to see this
video. She's as a doodle in front of her as a completely
white room with a black guy is interviewing her course. And she
has a doodle of the all seeing eye that she just did in front
of her and this girl is in? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like the
CBSI the also a holder her and reprogram or I don't know if
it's possible. It may be too late. It's never too late for MK
Ultra. I don't think I don't think there's any way back from
that. It's usually pretty permanent.
Yeah, but you can get back well, there's been a few that have
escaped. But the idea is to get her back into the program. So
she's doing what she's supposed to be doing. Which would
entertain I'm not mistaken is having sex with high end
politicians.
And then my final bit for today, as predicted, a federal judge in
Florida ruled Tuesday that the grocery chain Winn Dixie stores
Inc, must make its website accessible to the blind,
following an unprecedented trial over a gray area of
accessibility law. That's right. The decision as momentum to push
by plaintiffs lawyers and disability rights groups to make
all consumer websites accessible to the blind and hearing
impaired. This is it
shouldn't be done at that should be done at the meta level. With
the tools I don't think it's a responsibility. The individual
people putting up the websites personally.
Well, here's it well, here's what I know. You will get sued
if you have any. But now it's grocery stores. But I know
firsthand knowledge of some nonprofits, and they have videos
and now they all have to do two things. They have to create
closed captions for the videos. And they have to create what is
this a word? It's a term for it. So when the video starts, say,
you see five people sitting in the room in a circle, they are
all talking and then the dialogue, you have to add that
in. Do you know what that cost you the extra cost is? Oh, and
of course, there's all kinds of consultants out there who will
help you?
Well, there's a cheap solution. What's that? Keep videos off
your website?
Well, that's what's going to happen. That is that's exactly.
Everyone's going to start paring it down. And I'm not against. In
fact, I've been very pro accessibility in everything I've
done online. Our show notes are all structured data that we're
great with, with screen readers. And we do think about that.
Yeah. And I think that we have a, you know, a very great
product for a group of people. But, you know, this is going a
little, I mean, I'm on the fence about it, because I understand
that we do have the American Disabilities Act. But maybe we
should make it a little more clear what has to be done to
rein it in a little, just a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. But it
wouldn't be solve one thing, man, if this really became and
they should do it for everything than just anything that any
consumer can read
twice. How interesting. Just pointing it out,
I lost my train of thought, thanks.
Well, you were telling me that what they should do because what
they could do and what they might do and what might change
the situation might help things. Man,
what Hey, man, what it would help us it would get rid of that
damn JavaScript everywhere. That's the that's the if you
want something that's really bad for screen readers, and for
people with disabilities is JavaScript on webpages get
and it's taken over the place? Oh,
get it off, get it off.
It's not going to happen, man. It's not going to happen.
JavaScript has taken over the programming universe effect. All
these schools and all these other things are all JavaScript
is not node. It's not node man. Node, man. All right, wrap us
up. Brah.
Let's see I've got you know, what I'd like to play is not on
this playlist. It's on a playlist that I've been sending
over and over and I never play it right. Which is the C B D
clip.
CBD. Oh, okay. Oh, you've sent it to me four times.
Yes. And I never get around to playing it. So now that I didn't
send it to you, boom, we can play it
one after another anti seizure medications failed. In 2014.
Doctors at NYU Langone Medical Center put Desmond on
cannabidiol or CBD, one of the compounds in the marijuana
plant. CBD does not induce a Hi. This week study of 120 children
with a rare form of epilepsy found those who are given CBD
along with their standard medications had a nearly 40%
reduction in the frequency of seizures. We just didn't know
what the placebo response was. That was Dr. Orrin devinsky
directs the NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at NYU Langone
and led the trial after so much time, literally 4000 years of
anecdote and belief. We now have scientific rigor, we have
evidence.
We've always had evidence, the guys in Israel have provided
evidence. There's nothing but evidence. But now suddenly, we
have evidence we've always had evidence that this would this.
This is nonsense. I'm sick of listening to these reports and
hearing people like Hillary Clinton. Well, we need more
research. The research has been done on this.
Well, you know what I'm thinking now, a twofer. We so finally we
have some research, the pharmaceutical industry can come
in with their patented CBD, and we'll get rid of all the illegal
stuff for you. My name is Jeff Sessions. I'll take care of
that.
Yeah, well now see, well, we'll see.
I'm just saying maybe that's what they're thinking. I mean,
this is so the the healing properties of CBD marijuana
choose are well proven. And these guys know that.
I know they do. They just want to know what everybody knows
they
just want to get the illegal stuff off the street. I can't
see it any other way. Because no one makes it
it's easier to grow an extract. I think that pharmaceutical
companies know that. Yeah. And I think everybody knows that
that's what's gonna have to happen Sure, maybe you can get
it grown and extracted and then you know, sell it as some sort
of a with a brand name. That's a possibility. But whatever the
case is, we should stop lying about this. Yeah, stop saying we
need more research. We don't need more research and stop
saying that it has no benefit. There's no There's all the guys
are still saying it. These medical guys. There's no known
benefit. This is nonsense and it keeps going on and on. And
nobody ever calls these people out. There's plenty of known
benefits. It's been studied to death in Israel by that one guy
who's leading all these studies, and it's been studied elsewhere.
So why they could continue with this nonsense is bullcrap. It's
really irksome.
Not quite a pet peeve of the day but getting there. I could have
gotten flogged, they're getting they're getting there. Alright.
Is there any chance of me missing any important game
that's rains or
games are over the Warriors won their thing and now they turn
out to be a bunch of douchebags who refuse to go see the
president, they're not gonna go see the president, the
president, according to them and said they just dropped like
$200,000 on champagne over this local club and who knew but you
know, yeah, who cares? It's over. That's over. So you got to
wait another season. And we'll go through this again.
