That's sick.
You asked me
I only did it gives You're always saying that demand so
after I turn the turn the table
well done. Hey the most emailed clip and song I have I must have
at least five different versions that came in and Tina actually
call it we were watching we were watching TVs like oh my god
that's an ISO
I love we got another one. Just goes on and on and on. Everybody
caught it. And it's so perfect. It's right in the rhythm. Right
in the rhythm. Very fun. Here's
another song that came in that cracked me up when I heard it.
Oh, yeah,
I know what Jay Yeah. Oh, well, yeah, we can actually play it
now because it'll be in the end of show. But it's very fun. It's
kind of in the line.
It's funny because of the because it's it's it's just
funny because of the way it's structured. Yes.
Oh, those shoes down and then we'll burn all of the books. Let
me see what life is like without historical drugs. Although was
three right the time other words white man Yeah.
Dean, the fat nerd. Very good Dean. He's on a roll with his

know, I sent him a diaper bag. So I guess he does Crosby. I'm
sorry Sinatra. Sinatra. Yeah, so he can just do a Sinatra song.
So that's that opens up a lot.
Once Once you have you know, Sinatra or Bennett, you can do
any of the American Songbook then yeah, that stuff writes
itself. Yeah. And of course, it continues. Even in my backyard
here downtown, actually just little north of downtown Austin.
Well, the decision
was made by a group of people according to the university
president but he did give the order to take those statues down
now. If you've been to the main hall here at UT Austin then
you'll notice that things look quite different this morning.
All along the campus you will see blank slabs of granite just
like that when I wish I could tell you who was on top of that
granite wood statue was there but they covered? I have no
idea. A black piece of paper black piece of tape there. There
are four of them that have been removed. They include all
military or political leaders of the Confederacy General Robert
E. Lee, former Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg, Albert
Sidney Johnston and John H. Reagan Now,
earlier he says all of them earlier this morning or late
last
night, however you want to look at it. They did bring in cranes
here to start removing those statues. If we understand there
were a handful of people gathered here watching also
discussing what was going on At no trouble, as we've seen in
other parts of the country, I did find a copy of the letter
from the University President Greg fenders on the school's
website. It says that he had formed the task force back in
2015. After the church shootings in Charleston, South Carolina,
they began discussing the impact of these statues on different
people throughout the community. But then after what happened
last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, that is when he met
again with students, faculty and alumni, and decided to remove
these statues and then relocate them. From what we understand
the statues of Lee Johnston and Reagan are all being moved to
the Briscoe Center for American history. Bachelor former
governor hog will be relocated and they haven't decided where
but they may put that somewhere else on this campus.
Good some controversy in our future.
That's nice and moving into somewhere. Another target. I
think you should get ready for I think they should tear down the
Alamo.
Wow. Well, and you know, the cool thing about the Alamo in
San Antonio, the only original piece is the door.
I didn't know is rebuilt to that extreme.
I'm pretty sure it's just the door and it's just the door
that's
you have that somebody verify that? Because that place is
really beat up?
Oh, yeah. It's it's a little disappointing. When you go there
you think? Oh, yeah, there really isn't. Alamo. That's a
good one, which
would be fine. They should get rid of it because it really is
an insult to the Mexicans.
I'm sure you heard about the ESPN announcer the play by play
guy.
Really? Nice guy named Robert Lee. It's not Robert Ely. It's
just Robert
Lee. I have a little clip just for the kicker at the end.
SPN pulling an Asian American announcer from its upcoming
broadcast at the University of Virginia football game, all
because of his name, because his name happens to be Robert leaf.
And unfortunately for him, he happens to share the same name
as the Confederate Civil War General Robert E. Lee. And you
know, ESPN is all worried that somehow this guy's name itself
might offend its viewers. Joining me right now, Dan gainer
from the Media Research Center, my living in some kind of
alternative universe now.
This Ultimate Universe doors overall. Yes. The alternate
universe? That's right. Is the alternative universe.
Did you read the Scott Adams piece on hallucinations? No, no,
I didn't. It was a good. His latest blog, the yes, it's quite
good figures. My wife already told me to read it. And it's a
version of the alternate universe theory. But he brings
up he brings up a number of interesting points. And I want
to reiterate one of them one of and it's it's about the
alternate universe, if your side wins, and then you know, then
then you're all in and if your side loses your, you know, you
dream all this crazy stuff up, which we've seen to an extreme
this time, because it's never really gotten this far as it
has. But I want to remind people of a classic example of this,
which began, it didn't, that I know it didn't begin with
Reagan, because Reagan was, you know, kind of old. When he left
office, he was not going to run again for a third term. But it
began with Clinton in earnest. And if you remember, everybody's
talking about Bill Clinton, he's going to run for a third term.
Well, they
said that about Obama to up. They said it about bush. Oh,
well, I think with Bush it was they're going to he was going to
declare martial it's always the same really martial laws,
martial law. Yeah, martial law. And then we'll have a third
term.
No, I started with Clinton and went to Bush and Bush did the
same day, same thing as Oh, he's going to run for a third term.
He's going to be king and all the rest of it. Yes. And then
they did the same thing with Obama. Obama gets in, and he's
going to always going to declare martial law at the end, he's
going to he's going to run for a third term and become king and
wreck the country. Yes. And we can expect unless they managed
to somehow get Trump not to run for the second term, which is
he's gonna He's gonna be the oldest president ever. And so he
might just drop out and give it depends. But if he runs anybody,
you know, but he's already collecting money to run in 2020.
So you would get a second term then he would freak out and
start make up the same bullcrap that he's going to run for a
third term even though it'd be like 90. I mean, it just is it's
very funny article by Scott Adams and it's well worth
reading.
You know, I I kind of stopped reading Scott Adams and the
reason really is I have Periscope on my phone and it's
only been one one account that I follow
if that I condemned him for this. Yeah, he should
be condemned. It's too much. It's too much. And the pope hat
I didn't get I didn't I've only I have not watched his videos.
Yeah, well, that's the periscope. This is video Yeah,
Periscope video. yeah
and he saw he's got two cameras one is from his face and it's
like he looks like somebody from 90 and
yeah I don't care I don't care about that it's just too much
he's like four or five times a day just too much of the use of
AB you look around that interested about that and then
you start getting
show Scott show
well the the pull the statues down has propagated as I'm sure
it will all over the world is all kinds of statues that are
going to be coming down I can certainly see a lot of perceived
war memorials and all kinds of stuff as you're right. Yeah,
well, here's Scandinavia our neighbors
decision to remove the name of hectare launch of a from the
Prime Minister's Office Building has now sparked a debate about
other buildings in this country. Now some teachers in Ontario are
raising concerns over schools named after Canada's first Prime
Minister Sir John A Macdonald. The elementary teachers
Federation of Ontario has now approved a motion that quote
calls upon all school districts to examine and rename schools
and buildings named after Sir John A Macdonald in recognition
of his central role as the architect of genocide against
indigenous peoples. Why is this so important to the Teachers
Federation? And could it draw other critical eyes to
McDonald's Memorial I
love that he was the architect of the genocide of indigenous
peoples which means we I mean just wait for the Redskins this
is going to come to such a brewing point
who you know right now that you mentioned the Redskins it's
possible that all this that we're witnessing is all about
the Redskins the Redskins because that's one place where
the Liberals have failed dropped the bail they can get these guys
to change the name of that team.
Now this guy he's also on the think that $10 Bill and candy
Navia five or $10 bill to be? Which of course we have to watch
out for as well. Because we know we should be you know, if you
see any, anybody who's against this, these races, you should
tell them to burn their money.
Hey, you gotta you gotta know, agenda show,
you know, just burn. What's more fun. So anyway, here's the
president of the teachers union.
His name is on schools and his on money. And he's in other
places in this country. For those reasons, is it not? And
what is wrong with honoring that part of his legacy?
Well, I think there's a difference between honoring that
part of his legacy on a highway or on $1 bill or on a $10 bill,
really, but when you have his name on a public school, where,
you know, arguably, and I don't think this is arguable, I think
it's an absolute, that all of our children need to be able to
be safe and feel inclusive, safe, feel like the name that is
on that grind didn't call on him,
don't feel safe, that I'm glad you picked up on it. Yeah, they
don't feel safe because of the name, you'll be
able to be safe and feel inclusive. And to feel like the
name that is on that building represents the values that we
have as a society and you know, the Truth and Reconciliation was
was very clear about the treatment of our indigenous
populations. And I think I think those were the reasons behind so
I don't think at this point, there's any conversation around
changing the name of the MacDonald Cartier highway or
getting his face off the $10 bill. But but our schools our
public schools are something vastly different.
Oh, yeah, he thinks so.
It's all as if you're going to take his name off to school
because the kids don't feel safe. It's even worse that they
have a $10 bill or whatever bill it is that it's on. Yeah, the
kids not gonna feel safe holding the Bill No.
very unsafe, or you're gonna
be on a you're on a freeway named after the guy and you
can't drive on that. driving so fast, you're gonna kill us on
this horrible freeway.
Meanwhile, a lot of people sent me the following must be making
the rounds on the on the social medias. They picture of the
Lincoln Memorial, which we have discussed will be defaced. And
so it's it's it's a piece of the memorial which has an
inscription and then underneath it, there's a little bit I'm
going to read this, the inscription is my enemies
pretend that I am now carrying on the war for the sole purpose
of abolition. So long as I am President, it shall be carried
on for the sole purpose of restoring the union. And then
underneath it says interview with Alexander Randall,
Washington, DC, August 19 1864. Lincoln had issued the
Emancipation Proclamation two years earlier, but he was still
working to convince people in the North that the Civil War was
being fought for the principle of union, not the abolition of
slavery, get your Sharpies, because this has to go.
Oh, yeah, this has to go. You know, I was thinking about this
the other day.
Does this not settle the dispute? Once and for all? I
didn't even know this. I'm very surprised.
Yes, and I was thinking of About this and people were saying,
well, the whole war was about slavery and slavery and slavery.
And I have to recall, some when I was because I studied that
period. They're trying, they're almost arguing that the North,
the North was actually worse than the South in terms of being
racist. I mean, they didn't even want blacks in the north at all.
And then what the few they got up there, you know, there were
kind of like shunned. I would I just, anyway, the argument could
go on by keep recommending this candidate stamp book, when
people want to you can read about all the different
arguments that took place during that era about what his war was
about. And and the War Between the States is what should be
called
the war between we're going to say that the War Between the
States because this what we're witnessing now is an actual
Civil War.
This is more like he is a much more like a civil war. I've been
in a in a in a police state likely. Yeah. And it's not going
to go yes.
And then again, what you're seeing people pulling down
statues of oppressors is because people feel oppressed
themselves. Right now. It's a way to vent and it's it's very
understandable, but there's a lot a lot more, we could pull
down and got some obelisks in mind. I didn't think it was
Mark.
Big Ovilus. Yeah. Mark Stein. Giant will wash the memorial,
the monster, but you would pull it pull them down. The big one.
Oh, bad idea. Washington. Is that that giant thing in the
middle of the of the mall? Yeah. Huge. Two deaths. The Washington
Memorial, right? Isn't that the name of it? I
believe so. Washington. Scott in Washington Monument memorial
monument. Washington Monument, right? Yeah. Mark Stein buried
it sometimes fills in for Tucker. And I guess he filled in
for Rush Limbaugh. We used to fill in limbo, because I never
listened to that. But he had a funny take on an Antifa. And the
statues and Black Lives Matter.
And so half these young white people, the ones toppling the
statue of Johnny Reb, the Civil War guy in in Durham, North
Carolina, most of them are pasty faced white, young white people
who've decided to check out or being white people, and they're
effectively doing a sort of identity politics minstrel show.
It's the 21st century version of a 19th century minstrel show,
but they don't actually put on the boot polish anymore. But
they're still saying, Oh, I really wish I was black. So here
I'll topple the Civil War statue. And on the other side,
you've got these dress up Nazis. Again, they're basically like
the the edgier version of the Civil War reenactors they're
camping around with their tick mark, which is pretending to be
stormtroopers because for as long as they can remember,
they've been told that white people are Nazis. Anyway, if you
tell if you tell Mitt Romney, he's a Nazi. If you tell Donald
Trump, most of whose family and our Jewish and Orthodox
observant Jews, if you tell all these people they're Nazis, why
would you be surprised that a few a few of these young white
guys don't think hey, if every this Nazi thing sounds pretty
cool, but
LARPing is what it is. LARPing nailed it. Very good. LARPing
and cosplay. And yes, and there's lots of virtue signaling
from Hollywood and, of course, George and Amal couldn't be left
out.
In response to protests in Charlottesville, Virginia
earlier this month, George Clooney and his humanitarian
lawyer wife, Amal Clooney, have donated $1 million to the
Southern Poverty Law Center, a US nonprofit that monitors
extremist and domestic hate groups. The couple who recently
became parents after their twins Ella and Alexander were born in
June, released a joint statement about the incident which saw a
woman die while protesting against white nationals. They
said what happened in Charlottesville and what is
happening in communities across our country demands our
collective engagement to stand up to hate. The donation comes
from the Cluny foundation for justice, which the couple
established in 2016 to promote justice and classrooms and
courtrooms around the world.
Very good. Georgia, by the way, a mall
they named they named one of their kids. Hey, did they name
one of the kids? Allah? Allah? No, I don't know what they said.
Then the kids name. Oh, I
have to go back. Was it the end there?
Was at the beginning.
Now Now her name is Amal. Maybe you got to confuse
did they name the two kids
in response to protests in Charlottesville, Virginia
earlier this month, George Clooney and his humanitarian
lawyer wife, Amal Clooney have donated $1 million to the
Southern Poverty Law Center, a US nonprofit that monitors
extremists and domestic hate groups. The couple who recently
became parents after their twins Ella and Alexander were born
Yes.
Allo snack bar. Snack Bar.
Yeah, I guess us now.
So I really wanted to find something from Southern Poverty
Law Center. Because this group interests me and they certainly
don't need their million dollars. They have about half a
billion in the bank. Just go look up their 990 this they do
300 million a year. It's really crazy how much money they bring
in. It done a good job, but I did find and this was beautiful
on C span. I found a guy from Pro Publica and pro publica is
we've had our eye on this outfit. His name is AC Thompson.
And they are doing a project called documenting hate. So it's
very similar to the Southern Poverty Law Center's cheat map
of hate groups, which has the most it's just like girls Girl
Scout troops on it and not really but there's definitely
borderline border like groups on it that really I don't have I
mean, you can call anything a hate group I guess. And I pulled
a couple of clip clips because I thought he was rather
interesting. Here's here's his intro explaining pro publica,
which we've always want to know a bit more about your
meeting AC Thompson. He's with pro publica other publication
and one of the main people behind there documenting hate
project joining us first a little bit about pro publica
tell our viewers what that is.
So pro publica is a nine year old, nonprofit investigative
newsroom. We have about 75 employees, most of them are
reporters. And we have won the Pulitzer Prize, I believe, four
times now.
And so who backs your publication who supports it?
You know, a lot of different folks do big philanthropic
foundations, individual donors. Increasingly, we're trying to
actually develop some businesses and bring in some money. But
basically, we give our stories away for free to sort of fill
the breach in the news media that's developed over the last
15 years where there's fewer and fewer investigative reporters
out there. So if you were a news outlet and you want to run a pro
publica story, you are absolutely able to do that for
free.
Two things. One is, well, three things really starting with the
last. So he's advocating that their journalism can be used by
anybody because their journalism is right journalism, because
they don't have any commercial interest except sounded like
they're working on he said business to try and get some
money in. Sounded like they're, they're on the cusp of doing
some commercial stuff. I didn't know that which would break
their model, but more interesting, because it would
well, I mean, what if like us taking commercial money? Of
course it would of course that would change it?
Well, I don't I their model is not our model is we can't take
commercial money because it would hurt our product.
That's what I thought their model was to. I didn't hear
that. No, but they're nonprofit.
Well, just because they're nonprofit doesn't mean that they
give a crap about you know leave me vs to
leave me i know what i Of course I know that I think they're pro
propaganda is what they should change their name. Ah, well,
that's a different but and I'm jumping ahead here. The first
call that came in was this question.
AC Thompson with us from California first call for you.
Comes from Mike he's in Maryland Republican line. You're on with
the guests. Go ahead, Mike.
Hey, see?
Who's your largest private funder.
What's his name?
I have no idea
it's Soros everybody knows that? I have no Yeah, I have no wire
Yes, I have no idea and then it just done the calls done let
that be of course he's a liar that in the whole windup yeah we
got no filling philanthropic people we got rich donors we got
but we don't I don't know who the Lord
started busy they got Soros Soros must be they must fear
something about Soros. He's gonna pull the plug.
Well, I believe that the the you know, we're gonna do some
business stuff to get some money in may have been a veiled
message, saying, hey, yeah, we're hard up here. You better
Hey, George, like, cut a check.
Please. I would like to know what their numbers are. Numbers
are in the millions. He's not
that much, though. It's like in the 1010. A year. 10 million.
Yeah. For 75 people though. Yeah. Oh, this
was a overstaffed.
Well, it's free money. Okay, now we move on why the hate project?
What led to the creation of this project? Yeah, there
was a sort of interest in our newsroom from two different
camps. So my friends in the nerd side the data interested because
by the way, that's so condescending. We need to stop
that. I'm against this nerds, the nerd folks, the data folks,
that's it's very degrading. and you want to keep funny
thing is I want to get the throw this in. A lot of nerds,
especially the women don't find it degrading at all they think
of it as a compliment.
I think women want to be called geeks, not nerds as a
difference.
Okay, well that I can't I, when I had my I had a brush up a dust
up with Veronica Belmont over this is, and I can't remember
where it was the term nerd or geek,
I've, I've kind of kept track of it. And I think girls love to be
called geeks. hummocky Okay, well, we'll let it slide. I
don't care. But it doesn't matter. It's just it's just,
it's degrading. It's not nice. You talk folks like those folks
over there, that stuff that folksy stuff. Again, when it
comes down to it, you're gonna want to dude named Ben to save
your ass bros if
what led to the creation of this project?
Yeah, there was a sort of interest in our newsroom from
two different camps. So my friends in the nerd side the
data folks, they were, they were interested because they realized
that there was a paucity of accurate data about hate crimes
in the US. The Federal statistics are, frankly, a joke.
And the federal government will tell you that compiled by the
FBI, oh,
wait a minute, wait a minute, the FBIs numbers are a joke. And
they'll tell you that
they will look to see that hate
crime has been something that has been tracked for a while
now, we've been tracking the tracking. And now to say, the
federal government numbers are crap, you gotta believe our
numbers, the FBI keeps track of them, but they're crap.
The Federal statistics are, frankly, a joke. And the federal
government will tell you that they're compiled by the FBI. And
about 20% of the law enforcement agencies in the country, don't
participate in the the hate crimes program. And then a lot
of the ones that do nominally participate, don't submit good
data. So the folks in our data shop were fascinating that, for
me, I was fascinated by the stories that we were seeing
around the election time and in the build up to the election of
what seemed to be a new wave of racist violence and bigotry that
had political overtones. And so I was interested in the
narratives, we got together and we said, hey, we're going to do
is create a platform where anyone who believes they've been
the victim of a bias incident or a hate crime can submit their
story to us, we will build a coalition of newsrooms, and we
will go out and investigate and vet those stories. And that's
what we've done. And we have collected more than 3000
incidents
3000 Boy, that'll really knock out the FBIs records. Let me get
this straight. So they think that the government data is
shit, probably because it's not showing what they want to set
high enough, not high enough, whatever they want to say
hateful country, then
they FBI wants to admit Exactly.
So we need to create our own data. And the way we do it is we
go to people and say, tell us your story. Because yeah, that
that is very trustworthy. The so how does he do this? Well, they
verify they verify it. Oh, you know where this is going? I
mean, obviously, if you know that all of this project is for
one thing and one thing only
to destroy the country.
Well, no, that's the outcome. Now, this is all about Trump.
Hello. Oh, yeah, hello, pro pro propaganda. They get paid, they
get paid from donors to do this. And they have new results. And
of course, we know what's going on. This is why we need to do
this project. Now what we
have are all of these accounts, and we go out and we verify the
accounts. And if they look suspicious, we
we I understand that he's using the term account as as an
incident and someone's recalling of the incident, an account. But
you when you say the word account and verified in the same
breath, it's weird. It makes me think of Twitter verified
something. It's very, it's unusual usage. Yes.
It's interesting, isn't it? Yeah,
what we have are all these
account, maybe you're gonna get a little blue checkmark on your
jacket. If you've been verified. If you have an unverified hate
crime. It's a great idea, right? Like verified victim of hate
crime, that could be cool.
What we have are all of these accounts, and we go out and we
verify the accounts and if they look suspicious, we throw them
out of our database. But when we verify these accounts, we find
sort of three major trends and one is what seems to be a surge
in anti semitism. The second is what is clear here
that he has a listen he's doing data, the data folks the data
shop, but why does he use these words we
find sort of three major trends and one is what seems to be
seems to be is the report and incomplete the Do you have
doubts seems to be Nature seems to be a strong Yeah, well not if
you don't have an answer
trends, and one is what seems to be a surge in anti semitism. The
second is a sweater you
should be fairly obvious it shouldn't. There shouldn't be a
seems to be a surge. Surge is mean there's like a big thing
happening. It's happening.
Yeah, that's exactly. A surge could be a big surge.
It seems to be a trend. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
exactly. surge in anti semitism. The second is what is clearly a
rash of anti immigrant sentiments a rash.
This is very, very scientific technical term very scientific
study. I rash. What how do you use rash? As a mommy check, and
we need to do so.
But it would be worth looking up.
Yeah, because a rash they'd be. Let's see if it's a okay. Rash.
Here we go. Characterized by or showing too great haste or lack
of consideration acting or tending to hastily Merriam
Webster may be, let's see. Archaic use is in a rash manner.
I mean, I understand it, but I've heard
the word used this way. But um, it's a rash of something meaning
a rash or something. Yeah,
but rash isn't a rash is something that you get a little
ointment and it's gone. So it's not that bad or?
Right. Yeah. It's not that bad or rash location, a rash that's
embrace not that bad, or a rash, the rash? It's a rash of
violence about
a rash that a rash spreads or a spreading rash. How about that?
He didn't say that. No, but I'm, I'm making it up for him,
because he's so unclear. It's rash, just
a rash of anti immigrant sentiments. So this is people
saying, Get out of my country, you don't belong here. This
isn't your country, that sort of thing. And then the third thing
is people who are behaving in a racist manner. And they are
basically attributing their racism, connecting it to
President Trump in some way. So they're sailing out of my
country. President Trump doesn't want you here, or they're
saying, Yeah, you know, I'm gonna spray paint a swastika.
And I'm gonna spray paint vote for Trump next to it, you know,
something like that?
Yeah, beautiful. Like it'd be rigged
now, but we're gonna see is, there's no way in
Zhaan provocateur would ever do that? No.
So that's what this is all about. And we know where the
money's coming from to fund this. And this one throwaway
clip here is the definition of a hate crime. And
so when it comes to defining how you put stories out there,
particularly because of hate crimes, how do you define a hate
crime then? And what makes it something that your that'd be
worth a story for the website? Thank,
you know, so for hate crimes, we use basically the federal
definition. And so that is going to be a crime motivated by bias
against somebody because of their identity, whether it's
religious, whether it's ethnic, whether it's their sexual
orientation, et cetera. But we also are looking at lower level
incidents of harassment and bigotry that are the kinds of
things that don't get tracked in the data at all in the crime.
So now, yeah, now we're tracking hate. But we're attaching hate
to crime. Because hate is out there. Sure. There's tons of
hate has always been has always been hate. But now hate is now
going to be tracked separately, just as harassment, yes, that
are the
kind of things that don't get tracked in the data at all in
the crime data, because they're not necessarily crimes, but
they're incredibly not a crucial witness
to see not a crime.
Well, but I think what he was, yeah, he's conflating it. And
that's the whole point. There is a there is a federal statute,
there's a federal code about a hate crime, and it does indeed
say if it's motivated by bias against gender, race, religion,
Cetera, then there are minimum term limits. But this for a
second, yes, we do
not have to stop this for a reason of the point of
information. You use the word conflate, as I've used the word
conflate numerous times on this show, but neither one of us
would have used the word conflate a year or two years
ago. This is a new word that's come into the lexicon, and we've
adopted it for some reason, even though I keep hearing it mostly
from the liberals. Mostly from the news media, the news media
started saying conflate conflate referring to two things being
brought together as one. And I'm not complaining that you used it
because I use it. I like the word. I just thought I'd throw
that out too. So people would move So I'm just pointing this
out to people to show that we're self aware.
Yes, Ben, thank you for pointing that out.
I found it. It shows you said it. I said that's interesting.
He used that word.
Yeah. I'm sure. I'm sure I'm not immune to being. No, but I think
Dr. Ning
I think it is a good word. I think that this is a word that's
been recently introduced into the lexicon of the United States
of Americans. And I like it. It's a word
that works. Yeah, it works for me, too. And we're all
worried about it, because I know where it came from. And I'm
worried that is, that is something else that's going on,
and we might not be aware of. So I'm just saying we had to be
self aware. The one. Sorry, no,
that's very good. We're always looking to improve our speech,
always. After the show. Back to the show. Exactly. Yeah, so the
hate crime, and it still remains a very odd topic for me. Because
if you commit a crime against somebody, isn't there? Well, if
it's a violent crime, isn't it that must mean there's some hate
me, if you steal something, then it gets you if you go back, I'm
gonna rob that faggot. That would probably be declassified
as a as a hate crime, even though it should be I'm gonna
rob him because he's a faggot. But it's just it's it's very,
very, very
well, you've always been very against this, then you have been
kind of concerned about this for years out of control. Everything
is a hate, and
it started with bullying. We tracked bullying, you go back in
the show notes, go back to the Go back 567 years, you'll see
that bullying was an actual headline topic in the show
notes. And that slowly changed to where we are today with the
hate crimes. And as we know, in in the UK, even speaking,
hatefully is illegal if you do that on social media. Right.
It's, we're on our way, we're on the path. We're right behind
you.
I think we've concluded this as a First Amendment thing. Yes. An
attempt to stifle free speech.
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. And that is, I think about all I have.
Well, we'll have to keep an eye on these guys, other than
the UK now. But just going back to the statues, there's now talk
of this is from the guardian of having this statue devoted to
Admiral Nelson. Yeah, pull it down. Well, the down Yeah, yeah,
pull it down.
It take all your famous heroes and pull those statues down and
shoot those lions blow those lion statues up. They're
representative of something bad. It's fantastic. It's actually
fun is to be hilarious. Well, maybe, you know, I of course, my
thing is a lot of this stuff should have been pulled down a
while ago and put in museums because it's, it's a form it's
art. And some of the bad about that one that was ruined by
those jerk offs. You know, statue of a little anonymous
kid. Yeah. And they pull it down and they got all it got all bent
and ruined. Yeah. You know, so I put some effort in that they
should be in a museum. Yeah, I agree. So we can put up some new
stuff. There's, I mean, there's a there's a statue of Sheikh
Rivera, I believe and run in the Bay Area, but that's okay. If
you look into him, you'll find that he's kind of a creep. And
creep, sir. Okay.
creepily mine creeps are fine. We like the creeps. Well, thank
everybody for helping us fill up our list of nicknames for the
President. things he's been accused of. It's really been
quite phenomenal.
It's a nice list.
It's a great list. We have more was added recently. Racist
orange Cheeto fascist, literally Hitler, mango, Mussolini. These
are very, very good names.
So I watched the speech in Phoenix and then the VFW follow
up. Okay. There are two different speeches, but they
were handled by the media. And I think the media is decided that
that didn't get away with anything. So they're going to
just say what they want to say. And they just excoriated the
president. And then even Matt Taibbi tweeted about this most
unhinged speech I've seen, which and I watched. I watched this
this Phoenix speech
Phoenix was in Phoenix was not a speech to the nation. But no,
no. They presented a Hitler rally. Yes, Hitler. You can
rally. Yes.
So it, I watched it and now you and I both have watched entire
and you went to one of them? Yes, I did. Entire Trump
speeches, stump speeches, and he would do these get these a lot
of people when he first started out. I observed that he really
only had 20 minutes of material and then he ended up with about
an hour's worth and he would tell pretty much Is your
variation of the exact same material time and time again,
this speech was not only no different than a clip in a
classic Trump rally speech, it was probably a little more
sedate except for the the about an eight I think about an eight
minute rant he did on the mafia. Yeah. Quoting himself mostly and
saying that they're fully
that I said that these are my words.
And he read his stuff. He read it exactly. And then he
immediately was there. Supposedly this was not a great
hall. This is not like a university was like a flat and I
don't know why anyone would even go to this. And then there's a
guest the media was in the back you couldn't see him when he did
when they actually did show the crowd and then he would talk
about the all the red lights are going off as he excoriates. It
goes on and on but to listen to the reporting of this which was
the end I got a stop this clip that I'm going to play or want
to play here which is this one. This is the NBC NBC was really
on him here is the NBC truck summary of the Trump speeches,
healer or antagonist
The answer may depend upon which Donald Trump you have heard over
the last 24 hours after casting himself as the victim of bad
news coverage at a fired up rally in Phoenix last night,
blasting everyone from the media to fellow Republicans. The
President appeared in Nevada today where he returned to a
call for unity based on common values for head snapping change
of tones comes as the nation's former intelligence boss offers
a troubling assessment of the Commander in Chief. Our national
correspondent Peter Alexander has more.
Tonight more White House whiplash at the American Legion
National Convention in Reno a declaration
of unity. It is time to heal the wounds that divide us a
presidential
one ad from last night's unbridled in Arizona repeal and
replace
repeatedly taking aim at the media, the very dishonest
media and they're bad people they don't like our country. I
really believe that
President Trump abandoning the discipline display just 24 hours
earlier his scripted Afghanistan speech, instead accusing the
press of misrepresenting his highly criticized response to
Charlottesville.
They don't want to report done I spoke out forcefully against
hatred, bigotry and violence, and strongly condemned the Neo
Nazis, the white supremacist and the cake cake.
But Mr. Trump omitted his own most controversial words,
hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides. On many sides. You
also had people that were very fine people on both sides. The
former
Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, who
briefed the President during his transition, now questioning his
fitness for office,
I worry about frankly, the access to nuclear code
on stage playing to the crowd like aging rocker delivering
riff after riff. And then I have the
I have the piece of Clapper, it's a little longer Can I play
that now?
Yeah, play it.
I don't know when I've
listened and why by the way, he was on with Don Lemon, the
overnight sensation
something like this president that I found more disturbing.
Having some understanding of the levers of power that are
available to a President if he chooses to exercise them. I
found this downright scary and disturbing. Just interesting to
contrast. Last night, teleprompter Trump performance
guru versus
teleprompter Trump that's a good one that that's not like he
didn't write that he didn't write that somebody whispered
that it's floating around teleprompter trumpet
performance. Versus tonight, which is of course, the real
Trump just as it was in the unglued unglued press
conference.
So I'm glued the unglued that's a new way I
just find this extremely disturbing. Disturbing
questioning his fitness. Yes, I do. Question is I really quest
question, his ability to his fitness to be in this office.
And I also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for
it. Maybe Maybe he is looking for a way out. Is he a threat to
national security? The president? Well, I certainly
couldn't be questioned again, having some understanding of of
the levers that President can there you go exercise. I worry
about frankly, access to nuclear codes. In the fit of pique, he
decides to do something about Kim Jung one there there's
actually very little to stop them.
Yeah, you know, they tried this they tried the nuclear codes
thing. It didn't really play out. They tried it in the in the
primaries, and Hillary Clinton was talking about it all the
time.
Yeah, it didn't work and it's not going to work now. No, I
don't see why we play like an ISO one of the ISOs. But this is
the one that's probably the best. This is the NBC summary of
ISO Jeff like from that same speech you heard him giving,
this is NBC they, they make they do this report. And this isn't
just playing it, I'm going to play this. It's inaccurate. And
I'm going to say how they could have been fixed and I don't
understand why they didn't do it properly. But this is again, the
kind of I don't know if they just the editors at these
networks or what but they're just doing this sort of thing
and it's get it gets on your nerves after a while is played
as NBC summary, I saw Jeff Flake,
even antagonizing members of his own party, like Senator Jeff
Flake, who's weak on borders, weak on crime house speaker.
Wow. Okay,
the problem with that report is that he's never mentioned Jeff
Flake, not by name. No, he never he made a point of not
mentioning flake or McCain. He made a big deal about his I'm
not gonna mention anybody's names, but and then he kind of
beat around the bush and he threw that in there and kind of
implying it was Jeff. It was implying they have to when they
make this report, they have to make that clear. They did not do
that with his eyes. So
why do you mean, journalistically speaking, they
need to do as he
never said this was he they play the quote of him doing the Jeff
Flake thing? Yeah, it's saying that he's talking about Jeff
Flake, but he's not talking about Jeff Flake, this is
inaccurate. Yes, and these networks do this all the time.
Yes. It probably was talking about Jeff Flake probably, but
he never said it. He never said Jeff's
gonna hear it again. Even antagonizing members of his own
party. Like Senator Jeff Flake, he never did that. You're right.
All right. Boy. So this
this kind of inaccuracy gets did starts to build up after a
while. And the worst part is people start to notice it. I
mean, we noticed this constantly. Yeah,
but that's because it's in your alt right talking points. Yeah,
that's exactly what we read every every show the alt right
topic that talking points before we start to make sure we're
what we had. They have ended the thing is to to clean it up. I
mean, there's Yeah, okay. Maybe this is, you know, their version
of well, we're just kind of making it clear, because that's
what he was talking about, even though he never said that. No,
you can't do that. That's like taking that's taken advantage of
that's that's just kind of like fictionalizing the thing he
never said that was Jeff like he just implied it was Jeff
but they made it sound like he said specifically he said
it was Jeff Flake. Yeah. And they this is constant with the
with the network's they constantly do that. Was it
complex, too stupid. So we just do it this way. Now you just
have to do it. Or if you do it the right way. It's still it.
It's I mean, they did another thing in that longer clip, where
he says, repeal and replace, and they had Trump's screaming that
repeal and replace Trump was doing a character when he did
that. I mean, you could take these quotes. They're just
taking this
clickable, He's highly, highly close, very
visible, especially out of context, screaming something
I've just the unfairness of it really starts to grate on the
public. And that's why this news media has a very poor
reputation, because they constantly do this stuff.
Yeah, but no one there's no context left in our text based
Universe. This isn't real this is one of my gripes the I see it
all the time people texting back and forth and receiving the
information through the filters they have running and then was
pissed off and I want to send them back pissed off and the
other person like hey, but I'm super What is this? It's we have
no context is very sad. Well, I'm sorry. We have emojis. There
you go. Good work.
They need it. They need more of these emojis on his neck.
They should be popping up when they when they say like and
even. Just little thing little emoji with a with a halo or ding
with a winking emoji like it's a little joke. We're all in on it.
I also got something that I wanted to discuss no one talked
about an hour later but but this will actually maybe we should.
It's kind of interesting. But first, before we do that, I want
to I want to play this clip. This is the right hand man clip.
I was trying to get a clip that that CBS showed on or CBS or ABC
one of the two. They showed it on their little list that where
they do other online stuff now as they have a kind of a clip
list and they go from one to the other to the other. And there's
there was a clip on here about a lawsuit that's going on that is
on under reported and this lawsuit has to do with this
Russian guy, and maybe I can find it make nasty again.
Sorry Magnitsky again.
No, no, no, this is another guy that you never heard of. It's a
gruesome or some crazy name. He's got a kind of a silly name.
And he's suing BuzzFeed for slander. Oh, it has to do with
this report that you know, the dossier,
ah, Trump golden, the golden shower dossier,
the golden shower dossier. Anyway, let's play this clip.
Because that this clip kept coming up over and over every
time I tried to play the dossier clip, this clip would come up
and then I noticed something within the clip. And I went back
and I looked at the clip again to see what was there was a blip
in the internet or something. And then I look I watched her
and watch her. This is play this great hand man clip and just
listen to where the the the the woman who is talking about the
Trump's secretary, how she refers to her and then kind of
like chokes on a term she just refuses to say and David
Wright joins us now from near the President's New Jersey
estate David, Rona Graff has been called the President's
right hand. President Trump notoriously does not use email.
She's been known to print emails for him. So what are
investigators looking for here?
Right. Yeah, interesting. Watch her and she she actually says
she's been called the president. She has been called the
President's right hand. Right chokes because she can't say the
word mass here.
And David Wright joins us now from near the President's New
Jersey estate David, Rona Graff, has been called the President's
right hand. President Trump notoriously
can't even cover it up with anything. But this is what's
going on. This is how the middle you as you would say works in
news media. Right now, these people all have filters. This is
exactly the opposite what I said a minute ago, they have filters
running all the time, tons of them all of these things they
can't say that they're worried about. I mean, there was some
fake emails spoof that went around MC and NS, like, we're
not even going to mention buddy, but it was said about Ivanka
Trump, or whatever it was, and the only thing I could find is
that the somehow someone claimed it Breitbart that Jared was a
real cuckold for real, you know, in other words, meaning that he
watched his other men have sex with with Ivanka and the wife.
Yes. And they can't say that it's true. He says, Well, we
know it's a fact. But they can at least say it. Just say it,
though. We can't say anything anymore.
Well, so this guy is suing BuzzFeed for saying that he is a
spammer and a scammer, and he runs he runs a get his name is
somewhere around here. He runs a web services operation out of
Texas. And we're you know, those websites of different sorts. And
but he's not he's not doing this stuff. But they accused him of
it in this fabulous dossier where Trump has the women peeing
on the bed that Obama slept in supposedly, well, they're
bringing this back, I had no idea they
might as well they're bringing back the nuclear codes. It's
just rinse and repeat. We're just going through the whole
thing again, you can predict what's next.
Well, here's the clip from them bringing it back and I've got to
figure out which clip this is
dossier is back. I'm guessing dossier.
That would be it sounds like you have heard rumors in advance
about what was in that intelligence dossier. Oh,
man, for someone who gripes at me about bringing Rachel Maddow
to the show? Uh huh. Wow. View went you went you went there
anything to
have heard? What am I hold on a second? Before I'm condemned for
this? And I know that you feel the same way when you bring a
Rachel Maddow clip. You flip it around, and that there she is
talking about the dossier and I think oh, my god, are you
kidding me? And she is dead series, because apparently the
group that was hired had said, Wait, this dossier is
legitimate. They won't talk about the guy suing the BuzzFeed
for libel and, and in fact, Buzzfeed has had to take the
section of the just accurate dossier, this guy's name
thinking that we end the lawsuit, but no, the lawsuit is
going on. It's going on in Miami. Nobody's talking about
it. And it's as far as I'm concerned if that if the lawsuit
goes through, and then this guy wins a lot of slander libel
suit. dossier is full of crap, obviously. But let's listen to
what Rachel has to say because she's far she's concerned. It's
all true.
It's one thing to have heard rumors in advance about what was
in that intelligence dossier about Trump and Russia. Those
rumors started about a year ago. It's another thing to have seen
all that stuff in black and white once BuzzFeed published it
in January. But the people who commissioned it say now publicly
that it's true, that what's in that dossier is real and can be
true And that case looks like it may soon go public which is a
big deal because of the dossier really is right. What it has to
say about Trump is not just compromised by a foreign
government it is overt and knowing collusion in the Russian
attack. Joining us now is Rick Wilson tag publican,
the Russian attack John attack, we've been attacked, attacks his
words, man were foreign
government. It is overt and knowing collusion in the Russian
attack. Joining us now is Rick Wilson, a Republican strategist,
worked for a super PAC supporting Marco Rubio in 2016.
And who was the star of my opening anecdote this evening.
Rick, thank you very much for being with us. Nice. Nice to
have you here. Thanks for having me, Rachel. So I want you to get
your reaction to this tonight, this news overall, just your
reaction as a Republican, but I was also hoping you could you
could talk a little bit you could shed a little light for us
on how people in politics first started hearing about the
dossier before it ever got published? Well, sure,
I mean, first off, I think that the confusion today gave this
extensive testimony and are willing to have that put out
there in the public record, and turned over 40,000 pages of
documents should absolutely terrify Donald Trump's
attorneys, and the sort of constellation of media who have
been denying and denying and denying that anything in the
dossier is true. And that anything the intelligence
community has gathered on this guy is true, that 40,000 pages
is what oppo always has an Intel always has a gigantic iceberg of
information underneath the tip that you see above the ocean.
And so this sort of thing has been swirling around for a long
time. Even before I got that phone call last summer. There
have been rumors of Trump business entanglements and Trump
financial entanglements with a variety of Russian oligarchs and
Russian interests. You know, the, the Russian oligarchs, and
the Russian intelligence service and Russian government are all
basically tied together as the same entity. And those things
have been floating around, we've been writing stuff some of that
stuff down. But as the individual accusation started to
be made, clear inside the political community, and so the
sort of consultant world and folks who have some interesting
overlaps between politics and intelligence and government,
those things started to burble up more and more. We didn't know
the exact source, we knew there was something out there a
package floating around out there of information, I didn't
know was from Christopher Steele or fusion proper until January
when the BuzzFeed document rolled out. But the information
was certainly circulating.
It was certainly this guy goes on and on and on. Now, there's
another interesting point about the slander suit dead there,
nobody's reporting on, which is a circuit court has determined
that Christopher Steele, because of the slander suit can be
brought it can be forced to come from England where he is was
hard to take away from it. This guy's a British citizen, and we
can do an extra extra debt because the British probably
know that the British have this thing about slander and libel
that is so strong, very careful. Yes, you gotta be very careful.
And so apparently, according to the wait, I'm sorry, I was gonna
say, the British will expedite or extradite him to testify.
Yeah, in
Britain, celebrate ease, win big lawsuits all the time. All the
time. Yeah, like million million. Sometimes it's really
lots
of money. And so they may extradite him. And once he shows
up in the United States, it's assumed that he's going to be
grabbed by Muller Muller, and brought in to testify about that
dossier and its legitimacy and where he got this information,
all the rest of it. So this guy is going to show up, I think
he's going to come over unless the BuzzFeed can settle, but I
don't think they can afford it. And so they're going to try to
fight this, this character, this Texas guy who, who was slandered
in that in that dossier interesting. And this is turning
out to be quite interesting. And that's what and Rachel though
she's completely clueless about any of this job as far as she's
concerned. You know, it's just, it's all bad.
It's all about Trump and Trump horrible are gonna be out. Yeah,
he's gonna be out. Oh, yeah. So I've now changed the show notes
topic from the 25th to 25 for 45, which I think is kind of a
cool one. So 25th amendment for the 45th president. Oh, and
yeah, that's like 25. I mean, see, actually, you could do 25
Or for Chief? Ah, maybe not. Be Beatle song. No, no, that'd
be Chicago. Chicago,
Chicago. I have to I have two little clips here just to wind
up this portion of the a block. Donny Deutsch. Was he an
advertising executive?
He was some sort of an executive in the UK and he wanted to be a
TV guy. He was an addict the show Yeah, I'm pretty
sure he was like a creative director at BBDO or something
like that. I could be wrong. Anyway he's on the morning Joe's
that where he always appears, and he's now kicking off this
one again. Again, it's just rinse and repeat. Johnny went to
Faber
college with John Belushi. And it dawned on me. He can't
analyze this anymore and I did some homework and there's
nothing glib about this, I need about 40 seconds. How to
determine if someone's a sociopath, a personality
disorder. sociopathy is a condition that prevents people
from adopting to ethical and behavioral standards the
community. sociopaths are usually extremely charming,
charismatic, stilted because oftentimes
you're gonna have to you're gonna have to make up their mind
is the guy charming and charismatic or a creep? Well,
what he's Yes, he can't be both.
I agree. But and when this clip is over, I've got a follow up
clip, just to let you know, Oh,
yeah. Okay, charming, charismatic, tilted. Males
oftentimes feel entitled to certain positions, people and
things they believe their own beliefs and opinions, so the
absolute authority and disregard others, they're rarely shy and
insecure. Last words, they have trouble suppressing emotional
responses, like anger and patients or annoyance. They do
bizarre, risky, outrageous things without assessing
repercussions. They're professional liars. They
fabricate stories and make outlandish, untruthful
statements, and they get comfortable with their line,
they get bored easily and require constant stimulation.
Sounds like me, sociopaths are incapable of expressing guilt or
shame for they're manipulative, they may try to influence and
dominate people for to gain positions of leadership, they
have a hard time dealing with with criticism. Now we have to
go to break. No, I mean, and you start and I'm not being glib
here. We're trying to analyze this intelligently or rationally
or the left brain and there is none. And then you start to say,
coming off with clapper coming off of Corker. What is what is
it? I'm not being glib, but what is wrong with this? And it's
interesting about so many of the traits of a sociopath this man
is this point
that I'm adding it to the list sociopath that's a very nice one
associated with
that same exact if you took that whole little spiel and and ran
it in 2009. When Obama got in, you could probably get away with
the same exact complaint.
Not on MSNBC, you couldn't know I mean, somewhere
else, obviously not an MSNBC. Yeah, they're having chills
because you want I have to you have to follow up, you have to
follow up. This has been another thing, you got to put it on the
you know, we go back to that list we made. Every one of these
things is on there. This is Hillary's getting all kinds of
promotion from her book. And I don't know why she's kind of
reading from the book instead of just saying stuff in an
interview. But here's Hillary, this is NBC promoting the
Hillary book and then
stop. I'll tell you why she's reading from the book and not
just telling her story. Because she can't remember any story
of the plane where I can
well, you could say that or maybe there was no story. Maybe
it had to be written so that she could read it, because that's
the story. This is her story.
They wait, wait, the way they present this, they also show
clips that are shot with different camera angles to kind
of exaggerate this problem this was to happen, happens to be
about something that they didn't talk much about at the time,
which was the second debate. When Clinton and they were in a
small, small debate stage and Clinton and Trump are damn
you're bumping into each other most of the time. But the way
she describes it is very, I thought it was very funny. But
at the same time, this is a dramatized and then NBC gets to
to force it to further
that music music creepy music.
I wish it's some day is a twofer. They get lighter book
and slammed Trump at the same time as great.
It's a beauty. Meantime tonight as President Trump has continued
to take aim at Hillary Clinton from time to time so long after
the election. She's having her say about the man who she says
made her skin crawl during an awkward debate moment. Now
Clinton also was acknowledging her own mistakes and her
devastating defeat. Here's NVCS Andrea Mitchell.
New reporting by NBC News reveals Hillary Clinton's lead
over Donald Trump was a lot less certain than previously thought,
especially in the last two weeks. As we hear the first
excerpts from her upcoming book about that tense standoff at
their second debate.
Donald Trump was looming behind me. It was incredibly
uncomfortable. He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin
crawled
their face off only two days after that Access Hollywood
Video grabbed by the Trump campaign trying to intimidate
her. Steve Bannon inviting women accusers from Bill Clinton's
past to sit in the front row as Trump circled her on stage
because now for the first time publicly, she's wondering should
she have stood up to him? Do you
turn look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly back up? You
creep Get away from me. It certainly would have been better
TV. Maybe I have over learned the lesson of staying calm. Bye
hang my tongue digging my fingernails into a clenched
fist. I could tell yes.
It is incredibly, incredibly uncomfortable.
It very much encapsulated a lot of the discomfort in the race.
In that moment in time,
Catherine kept her cool not wanting to appear weak. She is
now in a
position where she can share doubts that she had mistakes
that she made think she might have done differently,
a moment captured on SNL pre existing condition. Number two,
as NBC News reports that was among the high points for
Clinton in the final month. 19 days later, FBI Director James
Comey reopened the email investigation. And in the final
stretch, I'm more disciplined Trump going on offense while
Clinton fell behind.
How does Wait, let's stop here and go back and try to remember
this. She was kicking his ass in these debates. Yeah. So and now
they just said it was a high point. But if you listen to her,
it was a low point because he was breathing down her neck. I
mean, which is it? Can you get the story so the so at least the
the narrative is make some sense with what you're telling us
because a lot of discrepant information they throw at us our
death in public. And it doesn't really work. Either she's
kicking ass in these debates, and it was a high point, or it
was a gorgeous creep was creeping her out. And he's
breathing down her neck one of the two.
I heard there was a bit on CNN, and I'm sad. It didn't clip it.
It was someone who had been rehearsing with Hillary Clinton
for the debates that and they had footage from the debate
rehearsal, where this guy specifically did what Trump did.
But he was walking around or walking behind her. And it was
all meant to prepare her for him doing that. And now she's saying
that it was creepy, and she was put on the wrong foot or so that
would have been a great clip. You're right. I just I just
realized I heard it in the car. And I completely forgot, but
I'll find it there. It was. Wow. I mean,
if she rehearsed this bowl crap, of course, the the other thing
is that they showed they showed tried to dramatize as much as
they could a lot of with a long lens, because usually long lands
use anything over 200 millimeters. Yeah, it brings the
foreground and the background together. It conflates the two.
Yeah. So it looks like you're closer than you are. Yeah. Now
the the other thing was they showed one clip, they made a
mistake of showing one clip where she actually I think this
was a blunder in the edit room, she actually walked over toward
him to put herself in a position where he was standing right next
to her, or right behind the show that brought that on herself.
I'm gonna have to go back and look at that debate. I'm sure
YouTube,
I remember we talked about it, and that, indeed, the depth of
field was a little off, but it certainly doesn't matter. That's
what people saw. And that's what they believe. So it does not
matter. It does. It just doesn't matter. You know, speaking of
that, you know, Mike Rowe from dirty jobs. Yeah. So he had a
Facebook brand against someone who said, you know, yeah, you
know, Nazis love you. Republicans love your show your
alt right, and blah, blah. And so he writes a very thoughtful
piece, talking about just you know how ridiculous this is, and
that he hasn't really come out with any political stance, a bit
of the really thoughtful piece about the cancer on both sides.
And here's what's interesting. Tina shares that on the face
bag. And she's talking to one of her daughters, and her daughter
says, Oh, mom, so now you're supporting Nazis. And this is
exactly the problem is that people don't read. She said, Did
you read it? Well, I started to Okay. But you know, and that's
that's a daughter to her mom. But I'm sure she doesn't mean
mean it like that. It's just understand maybe what she's
saying. But that's what's happening. And then whatever,
just I believe that oh, that's sounds right. Okay, don't have
to read it don't have to do any investigation. But I got some
drinkin to do
this is that you breathe. This is one of your main points. And
I'm going to you bring this up. They happen to me. Just on
Twitter. I wrote a column this week at PC Magazine saying they
that phones because of the people walking into walls, and
they you know, bumping into each other and getting into accidents
because they're using these phones to text and to do all
kinds of things they shouldn't be doing while driving driving
or walking the same walking up and down the street, or how do I
make this point? So I made this point that you know, there's
been a bunch of laws you can text and drive but nobody's you
know, everybody's still doing it. He's not and you can do
about it made it very clear in the column. And then my
recommendation was that the laws stop applying to people started
playing to the phone. So the phones in motion, it just
doesn't work. And that's pretty much the whole summary of the
entire column. Some guy tweets and he says he sees the column
being retweeted and he says there There's already laws to
stop you from doing this. Well, you obviously didn't read the
column at all, because I mentioned that there's laws and
the laws don't work. And that was the point of the column.
Yeah. So all he read was the headline. Yeah. Which you didn't
write and then jumped to conclusions. Yeah. Because
nobody wants to go through the trouble. However, you know,
Jesus almost 700 words, you know, it take him maybe three
minutes to read. No. It's unbelievable. And that's a good
example. And then that people should be shamed. It seems to me
for make Deford making this this these leaps of faith.
I told Tina, she should block her daughter.
She should. She's a good kid.
That's just, that's to me. That's very sad. I know. She
doesn't mean any malice, but it's sad when this happens. It's
sad. Then, you know, this is universities. I have one more
for this blog to round it out back to 25. For 45 Maxine Waters
was honored at the Beatty awards for the Black Girls Rock award,
I believe. Which are you allowed to say girls, can you explain to
say black females? I mean, is she appropriating younger
people's culture? By accepting an award for a girl I mean,
there's a
lot wrong I think it's cultural appropriation and all kinds of
levels she shouldn't she should rebuke the award and reboot big
no, no, no. As as we predicted. She's got a vibe going. Maxine
has a vibe with my millennials. It's the one quit.
Sorry, I should have clicked on
that water's
artsy Maxi, Auntie Maxine, for your dedication to truth and
justice for the way you keep it real all the time for your
gospel hit. I'm Reclaiming my time. Please, except the Black
Girls Rock social Humanitarian Award. You rock.
Black girls. Oh, by the way, I cut out most of the applause on
this because it was just too long.
Good evening, everyone. To Beverly bon, the founder of
Black Girls Rock, and Deborah Lee, the Chairman and CEO of B E
T. I'm extremely grateful for the recognition that I'm
receiving this evening. But I want you to know if it was not
for the love and respect shown to me by black women. Those
right wing ultra conservative alt right haters.
This is not a divisive speech at all. I mean, it's it's really
trying to bring us very loving trying to bring the country
together. Auntie Maxine doing a great job and respect
shown to me by black women. Those right wing ultra
conservative alt right haters
they would have me believe I'm too black. Oh, I'm too
confrontational. I'm too tough. And I'm too disrespectful of
them. But now, I know. I'm simply a strong black woman
there that's a bumper sticker. I am you and you are me. This is
this is the bumper sticker. Auntie Maxine says
we have power, we have influence. We can do things that
others have told us we can't do. I don't care how big you are. I
don't care how high you think you are. If you come to me, I'm
coming for you. Whether it's the President of the United States
of America, or any of his cabinet, we will say to them We
will resist you will allow you to damage this country in the
way that you're doing. We will not allow you to take him back.
Not only will we resist you, we will impeach.
You are as inspired as I am this evening. Yes. I want you to know
that I said and I'll said over and over again. Reclaiming my
Nice smacks away from the crowd. Nice. Those days are over the
coals you tonight my Millennials stay Whoa,
man. She's running. I hope so, too. Shall vote for get her in.
Keep her in the spotlight. Keep her on the show. I love it.
She's got her catchphrase. Reclaiming my time. Yeah, I'd
like to my millennial stay WOKE better but I'm okay with
Reclaiming my time.
Okay, that sounds good. But I am doing you are me is it sounds
like you you
are. Yeah, but no agenda shop guys. It's a t shirt. Reclaiming
my time. Get in on it.
I don't care if it is definitely running. There's no doubt about
it. Because you can just imagine she's just jacked up. Yeah.
Very jacked up. And she looked great, though. How old is she?
She's in her 70s late 70s. She's 100 and some now just now just
being an ageist douche. Now she's
I have a right to be an ages douche.
Donald loves Nazis. Donald loves Nazis. See again and say that
he's kk k. To hell with it.
Wow. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to you John C where the C stands for classic
slander Devorah Ag
in order to do Adam curry in the morning all ships at sea boots
on the ground feeding their subs in the water and all the names
and all the nights out there. And in
the morning, everybody in the chat room. No agenda. stream.com
Thank you for being here. I also want to thank everybody over
there and we see it's Brendel Kidwell, who's made the it's
been around for a while, I reminded myself to promote it.
Gitmo, list.org, which is really a list of all of our sites and
things that we talked about. And I mean, I go to this, because I
don't know what we have anymore. Gitmo list.org. Then also, there
is a Houston meetup being planned. You can find
that@meetup.or. Com thing net, the link in the show notes but I
wish I would like to move that to Austin. So if people are
interested in doing that meetup then why don't we move to
Austin. People from Houston come here and we'll have a good time.
Also, also in the morning to Patrick boughs. He brought us
the artwork for episode nine or five seven titled that was
upstaged and was just a great eclipse piece of Eclipse art. It
was really with a woman with a big sunglasses screaming her
head off. Did you notice
any way? I have a clip that applies to that artwork coming
later in the show?
Did you notice any weirdness during the I mean, just people
talking about weird things happening after the Eclipse?
Well, I do one clip I have was definitely weird. We want to
play now in might as well. Well, maybe we should let's move on
The Weather Channel. And this was not the t not the one on the
net. But the one that real went on the television. Because the
one on the net was a disaster. I thought
oh, yeah, it was. So it was NASA's for NASA. They were
better
ones. But this woman and I want to I think I don't know whether
he played in reverse order or or front to back. But I played in
front of back in other words, the right order. This is the
prelude. This is a WEATHER GIRL. And I always thought she was a
little. She's a little buoyant. And she's also one of these
chicks. Okay, and so let's play her at the beginning.
Okay, we are now a minute and 31 minutes 36 seconds away from
totality here.
Are you guys excited?
We're getting excited to hear for totality. I mean, the
countdown is on. Again, we are going to I'm sure here cheers
from the crowd. But we're also going to tap into several
different cameras.
Okay, clips takes place and they cut back to her and let her go.
And this is like wow
it's emotional. I cannot explain why. But it is. Tears we had
screams we had fight fireworks during totality, but it just
took my breath away the whole thing. It's really cool that you
can see the corona and you see the sun kind of spewing out from
behind the moon. It literally took our breath away for a
while. So I'm so excited for everyone to experience this And
of course, you have to wear the glasses again, now that we're
out of totality, but got really dark down here. Just look how
spectacular that is. On the TV screen. The light is starting to
come back to us now. Wow, that is something that's really
special. And we're all really fortunate to be alive and where
we are today. We can see. That was really cool. I'm sorry, I
don't know why I'm so
surprised by my reaction. You know, I did scream. I
got excited. I don't know why I'm so overwhelmed by it, but
it's very special.
Wow. Well, I'm gonna give you a borderline for that. That's,
that's pretty good. I attribute this to lack of religion, or
some other belief system. Yeah. Because then when this happens,
people are looking at this like some outer world godly event.
And I saw a lot of this up NASA's feed that he was NASA's
fee. I didn't. It wasn't interesting to listen to, per se
not as interesting as this. The guy went the other way is like,
I just can't I'm just going to have to go quiet. And he was
just continuously quiet, then. I mean, it's not everything. Okay?
It's Yes. It's great. It's a big deal. Whatever. Yeah, no, it's
not really. But it must be some lack of belief in something
bigger.
Well, this woman really lost it. I mean, you had to see her she's
crying. She's crying. She's crying like a baby.
What would you know her name? Maybe she was raised religiously
and walked
away from religion. But she's she's one of the mainstays in
the weather. Would you agree though? This is like some kind
of loss. And you can argue that the point with you because it's
possible that you're right.
Have you ever noticed that whenever you agree with me, you
always say you're not gonna argue with me? Well, I just
doesn't argue about it. It's nicer to say yes, I agree, Adam.
Great.
Well, I have to say, I'm not gonna argue with you because I
think the listeners and producers alike like it when I'm
arguing Okay, and a heads up, there's no argument.
Oh, shit. Okay. On to the next topic. I am really high.
Exactly. That's how I watched the Eclipse. years, I'm sorry,
we got screwed
here. It could be an overcast, Eclipse dark in the area. And I
think there was kind of a funk that took place across the
country. And I think that a woman kind of expressed a little
bit of manhood in this lack of religion may have a, that's an
interesting element that we should just explore in this show
in general. And it was a very interesting situation. Everyone
talked about it and to access. I watched the Weather Channel and
a couple other things online, I probably saw the Eclipse at
least 10 times in different parts of the country. So you got
to watch it over and over and over again. There were some
parts of the country that had a better Eclipse than other parts.
And I believe that seeing it on the you know, you're looking
through a, you know, a welder's goggles or, or you're looking at
it through a pinhole camera. What however you see it, you're
probably seeing a better version of it on TV. Oh, for sure. For
sure. It's like watching a football game, you're probably
not going to,
you know, our our building overlooks Silicon Labs here in
Austin, downtown Austin, they like salt and pepper to
buildings. Then all all of the these are chipped guys, chip
designers. They were all up on the roof with chairs and they
had all kinds of interesting filters and gizmos. I've had
binoculars on if screw looking at the sun. I was looking at
these guys, they were interesting. They had all kinds
of sextants and I don't know what they were sporting. took
some pictures of it. I'll send it to you. Well, apparently
is seven years you guys gonna be right in the middle of the real
one April 18 2024.
The whole shebang? That's right. That's right. I'm gonna have to
live here until the last do the show until then. Let's thanks
some people John.

Sir Henry Barron of outpost West in Palo Rancho Palos Verdes days
California. And he's he just says keep up what you guys are
doing we need an
Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop the show. Whoa. You okay? But I lost it
for a second Are you reading the note and you just completely
left? Oh, you're sorry you're bashing I get the end of it. No,

You've got karma.
Man last is Ron pepper to underdogs. San Francisco. He
ready. He's the guy this guy is the guy who is one of the early
pioneers of HDR photography. Really. He's still he's the guy
who does Photomatix Oh program. If you do HDR you want to do a
show you want to play around HDR you need a copy of this program.
And but he does other stuff too. And he's a photographer. And
he's is he's the one who did the 360 stuff and he's
woke. Apparently,
I would like to call out for a douchebag check, which is a
little different than a douchebag call out. I'll explain
because there's a point for anyone who likes or dislikes the
donation segment. This douchebag check is for the hosts of the
sea hawkers podcast. Not only have they been listening since I
hit them in the mouths, but they have also adopted the value for
value model demonstrated by no agenda. This is not an amateur
show, and they could easily get advertisers there for they
should be commended for helping to break the cycle of advertiser
supported shows and for finding their own way of adding perks.
For those who donate. This is the future model for good
content. When I asked if they have donated to no agenda the
answer was too vague for my comfort. This is why it's a
chat. Ah, Sybil douchebaggery got it. Finally, if they don't
donate soon, I shall have to divert some of my donations from
the sea hawkers to the no agenda show. Boom shakalaka I love you
all. Wow. So he he also has one other thing here. Also give a
birthday shout out. Let me slide this down for a second. Also
give a birthday shout to my sister. No, no, I think he's
like she's on the list. Yeah, so who who listens to the show as
long as Taylor Swift's ass doesn't get too much air time.
Please play me out with a Schwaz enough karma and pepper by
Fletcher birthday karma if possible? You've got karma.
Nice combo. Wow. And heard like the douchebag check idea.
It's an interesting concept.
It's a good concept. We'll keep it in.
Is that right? While you're on your list, okay, that's that no,
that's it. That is our complete the Associate Executive Producer
and executive producers for show 958 Want to thank them for
helping get this show off the ground?
Yes, thank you profusely, we thank you. These are real
credits. Please take them and cherish them as you should.
Whenever you participate in any kind of media product. If you're
a an executive producer or Associate Executive Producer, it
means something you know, I saw I watched the the we watched the
first two episodes of The Defiant Ones on HBO last night
you heard about this is Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre.
No. Well,
you know who was the executive producer? Jean Kirkwood.
Remember how? Yeah, he was the guy that worked for me. VO when
Yeah, when they moved to LA. And you know, this is kind of my
point is like, oh, executive producers. There's something
that is propagated from a guy I haven't seen in six years or
longer than that, to these titles are Interesting. Now I
would consider hiring him for my net for my biopic
who I'm sorry.
Nevermind. The point is we appreciate that you're
supporting the program. We'll be thanking more donors later on
$50. and above. And we have another show coming up on
Sunday. VO red.org/in A with a weekend just around the corner,
you know, it's your obligation to go out and propagate the
formula.
Our formula is this. We go out, we get people in the mouth.
You, you wrote a interesting newsletter, we always write
interesting newsletter, but there was something of interest
to me. And that was regarding the Afghanistan strategy. Yes.
And I can tell you, this probably may have been reported
by now. But there are 1000s of paratroopers on their way to
Afghanistan as we speak. I have it on the high authority. So
paratroopers usually means people are going to be boots on
the ground. And I don't know why that they could just drive but
okay. I know, they just drive there. I don't understand why
they have to parachute him in. But it'll
make for good, good. It's gonna make for us good promotional
video is going
to look cool. Very cool. And, you know, when your takeaway,
and I don't want to put words in your mouth, but your takeaway is
that Trump has been what's the word red in red and looking for
another word co opted into the policies into the protection of
the poppy fields, which is really, as far as we can tell,
the main reason for being there at all being there at all. And
if you see all the bases, they're all near the poppy
fields. And I was reading an article the other day crop this
year, too. Yeah, it's like 10,000 You know, cubic something
around. It's the amount that comes from Afghanistan is so
much more than comes from the that has even grown in Mexico,
that you know, and taking into account how military transport
were used to bring cocaine into that was a cocaine or heroin
with the Denzel Washington movie. And it was it was
Caribbean opium. Yeah, I'm sorry, opium. You know, in
caskets of dead soldiers. And yeah, this is you can look this
up. This really happened. And Denzel Washington made a movie
about it was in a movie about it, and movie, and so your
feeling was he was read in? And I had, I actually had a hopeful
thought. I know, stupid. Bother here was my hopeful thought
because of the opioid crisis in the United States, which now by
far surpasses vehicular deaths, bypasses gun deaths, including
suicides. I don't think it quite
Yes, it's digit, right? It just took it way past 33,000, which
is the vehicular Death number.
So it's the number one cause of death, outside of I think people
dying in house in the hospital. So we're almost at in hospital
in the hospital itself, which is also a very big problem with all
the superbugs and Mersa and all that stuff. And but, of course,
you know, it would just be my hopeful thinking that the
President who has this was the day of the auntie Fah kerfuffle,
where he screwed up his speech, he was actually talking the
first time around about the opioid crisis, and then it just
evolved into Charlottesville, etc. Then I was hoping that
maybe maybe the way to show that we won, because this is what I
would just say, you know, maybe you can't do this on a
geopolitical scale. But if you want to finish the war and show
that we won, which was unclear from his statement, or from
anything on whitehouse.gov, or any policy statement, maybe go
in, burned down the poppy fields and claim two victories at one
time. We are stopping the opioid crisis, stopping it here at the
root at the base of the problem. We're stopping it right now. And
we want and then get out. Well,
I think you could do that. It'd be a nice show. But I'm
beginning to think that the real opioid crisis is now pretty much
attached to China. I did have a clip I didn't use it, which is
the amount of the stuff is now being the fentanyl fentanyl from
China, which is artificial or synthetic. So there's
so there's two fronts, we could we could do it there and we
could do it in China. We could call that another
front. They did a big crackdown of all the people having it
mailed directly because I don't know if you do enough business
with Amazon. But if you do, especially when you're getting
crazy little things like for example a converter so you can
use a knife On lands,
I tried to order some fentanyl through Amazon but they came up
as an add on item. So the orders
you have to wait for your humidifier they'll ship that
it's I hate that. So you get these things you order some of
this stuff and it has a ver always has a weird shipping
time. It's just broad is like anywhere from March. Yeah,
that's not it shows up eventually in right in your
mailbox. And it's directly shipped directly from China.
Yes. And it's just a little ad, you know, something you bought.
And there's a number of these products that are now just being
shipped directly from China because they get some sort of
special deal I used to have just as an example, I used to bring
in. There's a couple art dealers in China and there's one in
Vietnam just as a comparison. If you they say you buy some 10 or
11 pieces from China, these are reproductions or copies are
original. And they have a deal with the Federal Express. It's
just like you get the stuff shipped directly from China air
on FedEx, for like in the charges like $15 It seems
ridiculously low, but they're trying to get a foothold I
believe because the same art bought from Vietnam. It was
always the same, everything's the same. It's like $85 to have
it shipped and it's not FedEx. It's like TNT or one of these
other good teams they don't have these deals with.
I want my package with an outfit called T and T makes me feel
very safe about my package
will anyway there's so there's just never checked. I mean, the
last time I had some stuff check that bought some shirts directly
from Taiwan. I think it was Taiwan or it was Korean May was
Korean, a Korean shirt maker that I've done business with
before is I'm not gonna sound like a flop. No, I
know you like having your shirts made used to have made with the
pocket that would fit a floppy and then later
I have all the stories. Yeah. And they which they charged me a
customs fee for the shirts but there's other stuff you're
getting from Amazon and everyplace else. They just come
in right in straight right. And so they discovered that people
were ordering fentanyl from China. And then they went to the
post office with some dogs and they've every other package
coming in from China was loaded with this stuff. They
can't open it up. Correct.
They can't they were opening it up.
Really I wasn't it didn't it wasn't the post office. No,
it was coming in some new post office and I think it was the
post office was coming from China Post and once it was
discovered to be contraband by a dog. I think you can open it up.
Okay. Anyway, we're at least looked like they were opening up
their Carmena open. Maybe. Maybe it's tonnage a ton of fentanyl
maybe it's
DHL what stands for deliver heroin lately.
The chat room chat room Yeah. Logan always by the chatroom gag
Logan five. Yeah, goodness. If I had maybe I have the clip. Let's
see. What do I have? Do I have a clip on this?
China fentanyl? Yeah. Did you have it previously? No, I don't
see it.
Yeah, no, it's just a new clip.
Now we can keep I dropped all that's okay. Well, so that would
be my idea. And if I were policy advisor, I think it's a pretty
good idea. And then I really like the hey, you know, we got
the we got the organic stuff. We know you want the organic and
given throw a Jeff Bezos. I'm not gonna let Jay Jeff Bezos
have any organic heroin at Whole Foods, you can throw that in.
Could be could be kind of funny. And then you could say and we're
stopping the Chinese from doing this. I see no downside. Other
than the billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that will
you know, people will get screwed and a lot of people
at the CIA they're so they're part of their black budget. This
is their money, correct? Yes, their money.
Now I did pick up something on C span again. Spent a lot of time
watching C span got back into the habit of listening to it
during the day. Yeah, there was this is some there is some
dynamite stuff. This is something you will never ever
see on cable other than on C span. Because it is about the
pharmaceutical companies. And as we know them, certainly cable
news but a lot of the advertisers have advertisements
running in big shows on the big shows on the network's the news,
certain news is a lot of it is pharmaceutical advertising, most
of it most of it is pharmaceutical advertising and
there's no way you can start bringing up story certainly not
in the man of this man discusses it. His name is Sam Quinonez. He
is author of the book the opioid epidemic, epidemic, Dreamland,
the true take notes. It's titled Dreamland, the true tale of
America's opioid epidemic. And I have just two clips.
Fascinating. I suggest you watch that. You see Ceman did a whole
special a two hour special about the opioid epidemic epidemic.
It's hard to say. And needless to say if this guy ever does get
on a mainstream news program, then he talks like this, then he
needs to avoid, never get on again. Well, no, he needs to
avoid small aviation hot tubs canoeing in waters near DC and
all this kind of don't have a gun in your left hand, it could
be very, very bad for your health,
the guys who first figured out the heroin traffickers who first
figured out that this very aggressive push to promote pain
pill prescribing among doctors, and then by doctors buying into
that idea would eventually lead to a heroin, a vast new heroin
market. And the guys that I write about in my book, were the
ones who figured that out and saw that first emerging in
Columbus, Ohio and the areas around there various cities
around there, Cincinnati, Wheeling, West Virginia, places
like that. These guys had developed a system by them, they
developed in the west coast, where all the all the markets
that they broke into, eventually had a static number of addicts.
So the and they were all from the same town, there was all
this there's one town in particular, I think, was played
a very important role on this in this, the name of the town is
Jalisco, it's in the state of nyari. That's in Mexico. And
these guys figured out a retail model of selling heroin by the
10th of a gram but very much similar to pizza delivery. So
you'd call an order they they'd send a driver to to deliver, hit
some heroin to you near near where you where you live, these
guys with their model, initially developed it on the western side
of the United States where the number of addicts were static,
they become MASTER marketers, they couldn't kill each other
because from all from the same town, they know we were each
other's mothers live, when they compete, they couldn't really
eliminate the competition the way people in the underworld
traditionally have dating back to Al Capone, really. So they
had to become MASTER marketers. That's what they became. And it
was a way of discounting and given dope away free in front of
methadone clinics given dope away free to guys who just got
out of jail. You bring the five new customers that give you 50
Free balloons of heroin, that kind of their
key levels marketing. Exactly.
It's an MLM there. Yes. Do you think
their key moment comes when they jump the Mississippi River for
the first time one guy in particular I talked to in the
book jumped the Mississippi River Land in Columbus, just as
a massive new pushes underway by pharmaceutical companies and
pain specialists, particularly in the area of southern Ohio,
West Virginia, Kentucky, to promote narcotic painkillers by
get in Percocet, Oxycontin, as the new solution to pain. This
creates a whole new number of a huge new number of addicts, and
they are there to then service those addicts once they can no
longer afford those pills and are looking for something
cheaper.
So as we were talking about conflating, this author is about
is now conflating the Mexican gang who pioneered the sales,
this type of sales in, in the United States in Columbus, Ohio,
where this apparently, according to him in his book is ground
zero for the opioid epidemic, when and now and this is where
the dangerous part for him comes in. When Purdue, the giant, the
pharmaceutical giant started pushing their opioids in the
exact same manner that the Mexican gang did. And you just
mentioned
it. What should viewers know about Purdue Pharma?
Purdue pharma was crucial in forming what we have today.
Primarily, I would say oxy cotton was crucial. The drug the
Purdue pharma makes is was crucial in all this first of
all, for two reasons. One was that Purdue pharma used in a
very aggressive form of marketing to doctors giveaways,
very similar to the marketing techniques that the Jalisco boys
from Nigeria used to sell their heroin. Purdue pharma used to to
convince doctors that these pills were no longer addictive,
particularly oxycontin was no longer addictive, and they'd be
they'd be fine prescribing it to their their patients. And they
gave away stuff they don't do this anymore. But for for seven
years with the drugs life, they gave away stuff trips, they gave
away a little CD called swing in the right direction with
Oxycontin, where, where we've got some swing band tunes, it
was it was a it was a very aggressive, constant kind of
marketing to doctors to convince them that this was trying to do
and then also, Oxycontin was a crucial part of this because
oxycontin did not contain any abuse deterrent for the first 14
years of his life. So it took addicts people would get
addicted and would take their their tolerance up to very, very
high levels. And then they would be looking for a cheap potent
alternative and heroin proved to be that that particularly the
heroin initially from a from Jalisco I already proved to be
that the crucial alternative and all that.
And this just goes on and on. It's really it's it's very
confirming, obviously for our, for our bias, and I don't know
if he goes into Afghanistan in his book, and the poppies there.
But there you go.
I didn't know some of this. I didn't know that oxycontin was
sold as non addictive.
No, I think he said it differently. He said that for
the first 14 years, I've had no addiction.
No, no. Before he said that, which I heard too. Before that
he said that? He said, Yes. Right. He does
say that initially non addictive. Yeah. But I don't I
don't believe that first second.
Well, we know it's addictive, but you don't believe that the
Oh, sales guys? Oh, no, I
believe that. No, that part, I believe, of course, I don't
believe that is not non addictive.
No, it's obviously addictive. I mean, we already know that by
now. It's the gateway drug.
So that was FDA then I guess, who said it was okay. And non
addictive that claim if that claim was new, we
have to confirm that Debbie pitch because you can just go
out and say anything you want?
Well, let's see if Trump can get 10 take on the insurance
industry first. Try these pharmaceutical. They will kill
anybody in their way. There's no doubt about
them animals. Yes. I do have a Trump clip. Then it talked about
somebody, there was a very good, just a couple of new books on
Reagan coming out. And one so they had on C span. Again, they
had this discussion. And I thought this was an interesting
observation because no Trump fan. But the most these guys are
all Reagan fans. And they're arguing details about the way
the the Reagan, Reagan operated. And this guy is not a big fan of
Trump. He's a fan of Reagan. And this is actually kind of an
interesting commentary. This is Trump versus Reagan, the old
folks home story,
maybe if we had been allowed to do some of these interesting
policy innovations that applied Reaganite principles to
contemporary problems, we would have won over some of those
people, the Republican Party and not let them grow so frustrated
that they've ruined with this vast populist enterprise that
has no serious connection to anything like mainstream
intellectual conservatism. And I'll just close with this last
point. One of the things that made Reagan an incredibly
successful president was that the staff knew what the old man
believed. And that is incredibly empowering to the bureaucracy to
the senior the political appointees, if you know where
the old man is coming down on something, you don't have to go
ask for permission to do it, you basically get to carry the ball
forward. That more than anything else is the one of the biggest
problems with the Trump presidency so far, is on any
given day. He's, you know, he's like a old, it's like a patient
from an old age home wandering off into the snow, you'd never
know where he's gonna go. No one feels empowered to actually
follow through on a policy about anything. And it makes a lot of
serious people unwilling to enter the administration,
because they don't feel like he'll get his back to get their
backs when they need it. And that is an enormous problem. And
it is, it is a it is a sign that Ronald Reagan was a much smarter
administrator and politician who managed to keep the tribes
together in a way that Donald Trump simply has no intuitive
grasp for. And I think that is one of the reasons why
historians will not look back and see Donald Trump as much of
a comparative figure to Ronald Reagan. Thank you.
That is just a beautiful picture he painted for me, was pretty
fun. I have my eyes closed, seeing Trump in his in his
bathrobe, you know, with the suspenders on socks wandering
through the snow.
I think he's probably got that right. Because I get to say,
I've always had this sense, it's always bothered me about Trump,
which is in this Jeff Sessions, little back and forth, I think
was part of this where he just started slamming sessions for no
apparent reason because he's not doing whatever Trump wanted at
the moment, is that you never get the sense that Trump is like
the kind of leader that I'll take it, I'll take it take one
for the team are cover for anybody. He's more of the type
that you work for these guys. Different managers have
different styles that this guy has the style of letting chaos
rule, I believe, and I've seen managers that do this and get
away with it. The hell's breaking was that I worked for
that was like that. I don't know. I think there's different
people that do this. They have this kind of they just don't
have any control over the operation, right? And it just
goes kind of goes haywire and in the end there's no boss that
will take is no guys like, I can count on this. My I can count on
my boss to to cover for me to back me up. Oh, and there's no
sense of anybody backing anybody up in this particular
administration. I don't see that changing and I think that Nobody
bitches about that right? I mean, there's something to bitch
about seems to me if you really don't like the administration,
but it's not impeachable, I guess so maybe, you know, what's
the point of bitching about it?
And how does that relate to Afghanistan and the poppies?
I had I had a connection there you have
an an Afghan Trump clip? Well, let's play it.
Afghans will secure and build
a stop, stop. I have to set this up. This is the summary The way
I see it. And by the way, I think the left dropped the ball
I'm gonna explain how they dropped the ball after this
could plays this is Trump going on? You know, reading from the
prompter, he sucks at prompter reading to such an extreme that
he should be practicing it more. You know, he says stuff like,
Well, I remember that. And that's the way the world war two
ended. Yeah, I mean, he's just doesn't do is really stink. So
but he's giving his little bit they like it. Oh, he's okay.
He's presidential. No, he's not reaching the prompter. And I'm
going to tell you the bit that he did, the left has dropped the
ball on if they want to just condemn Trump for everything he
does, they should have condemned him for something that you'll
hear, but just summarize it, what's going to happen?
paratroops are not
Afghans will secure and build their own nation and define
their own future. We want them to succeed. But we will no
longer use American military might to construct democracies
in faraway lands or try to rebuild other countries in our
own image. Those days are now over. Instead, we will work with
allies and partners to protect our shared interests. We are not
asking others to change their way of life, but to pursue
common goals that allow our children to live better and
safer lives. This principle realism will guide our decisions
moving forward. military power alone will not bring peace to
Afghanistan or stop the terrorist threat arising in that
country. But strategically applied force aims to create the
conditions for a political process to achieve a lasting
peace. America will work with the Afghan government, as long
as we see determination, and progress. However, our
commitment is not unlimited. And our support is not a blank check
that he talked about a political process.
Here's where the left drops the ball if you really if you really
deconstruct what he just said, because he's not going to change
their culture. Trump's encouraging pedophilia in
Afghanistan, he's given the green light with boys and
little in the in the morning for you there.
I was wondering where you're
going on our show discusses this, this issue. But I mean, it
doesn't it doesn't get discussed a lot in the mainstream media.
But it's but this is a problem that you know, that you would
from a liberal perspective, you was my comment on this. And I
think they dropped the ball on this, you because you can give
Trump crap. But then again, you can't I mean, it's just kind of
painted into a corner. I guess.
I I read the transcripts, and I'm scrambling here to see if I
can find it. I can't. But I recall in the transcript than I
don't know if he said I thought it was going to be in this piece
you played that. He said, As long as we get to be part of the
rebuilding process. There was something about it, did you
catch that at all? Could somebody in the chat room please
find me it
was something minor about that. I think it followed what the
clip I had, I thought my clip kind of ended with you know,
Blank Check out that was a good ending. And the rest of it just
blabbed lab cares it was on
and there's two things one political process which means
well, regime change is what he's talking about political beliefs.
He's talking about the Taliban and the Emmys talking about the
Taliban being part of the Situ this is not going to work. This
is nonsense.
I need I really need to get somebody to get someone's gonna
find out someone's gonna find that for me, so I'm just gonna
find you by the way he'd being shown a there's an active
shooter, apparently in Charlottesville, but I'm reading
now. The mayor says it's not terrorism and it's just a
disgruntled employee, described as a quote an older black man.
Show day.
There's plenty of
nothing. Who cares is nothing. Well, yeah, they dropped the
ball. I agree. Yeah, but no one's there. one's listening,
like pays attention. Now we're listening and we're paying
attention on this show, I told you several episodes ago that
there's a problem with Haitian refugees leaving the country
going to Canada Navia. Then the reason for this, I want to
explain the reason for this move is after the Haiti earthquake
machine after the Haiti earthquake, Haitians were given
a temporary asylum in the United States that was then extended
under President Barack Obama. And that extension is coming up
for expiration. There's I don't know if there's any talk of
renewal, but it's coming up for expiration. And the Haitians are
saying, well, this is probably, you know, probably time to go
figure out another place to live because the extension, that's
what it is, and we said, yeah, no problem come in temporarily.
You'll have to go back. That's just what we said. But CNN
misrepresented this to such a degree that I had to play this
report. I cut it down several minutes. Yes, there is some
mention of some Haitian people, but they have people been in the
country for 17 years, people from Yemen, Muslims. It's all
Trump's fault, because He's scaring the immigrants. And you
listen carefully, and you tell me that this is not
misrepresenting the situation. But Trump is scaring the
immigrants to move to Canada, this
border between the United States and Canada is little more than a
dirt path across a narrow ditch. In the past two months, it has
become a highway with waves of immigrants fleeing the US. Maybe
America has a problem for Syrian people or foreign people. I
don't know. Have you heard that people have said that there's a
problem for Syrians and for Muslims here in America. Yeah.
uncertainty about what the Trump administration will do. And fear
in the current climate is driving this exodus,
particularly now among Haitians who believe the protected status
they've had since the devastating 2010 earthquake will
be canceled. Melissa Paul was born in Florida and is a US
citizen. Her mother decided that after 15 years, yeah.
Cancel is not the same as expired.
No, of course it isn't. And that was it. That was the only
mention of it. And then they talked to anybody, anyone but
Haitian
brother, yeah, no
2010 earthquake will be canceled. Melissa Paul was born
in Florida.
That's a good catch. By the way, I didn't even catch the cancel
Bidgood among Haitians
who believe the protected status they've had since the
devastating 2010 earthquake will be canceled, even saying
protective status is wrong. asylum status as an asylum
seeker protective status.
Melissa Paul was born in Florida and as a US citizen, her mother
decided that after 15 years, it was time to go hi knows for the
best. The Canadian police warn them.
If you do cross the line, we'll arrest you like our people here.
That's the goal, get arrested and request asylum. Canada says
the number of asylum seekers crossing from the US into Quebec
is unprecedented. 3000 in July, almost 4000 in just the first
half of August, Around 250 people every day. They're coming
so fast. The Army has set up tents at the border as they're
processed. Most are then taken to Montreal whose temporary
housing is overflowing. So many beds needed that even the city's
Olympic Stadium is a shelter. is the main scene up helps asylum
seekers settle.
It's not going to be an open door. That's definitely not and
it's sad, because we do think that many of them believe that
they are here to stay, which is not necessarily true.
Did you ever think that you would see people so desperate to
get out of the United States?
Well, the atmosphere has certainly changed recently,
because now people are sort of, they don't know what, what is
going to happen. And that creates anxiety. So
anxiety that Nadal Yamani felt living legally in Alabama. He's
from Yemen, one of the countries on President Trump's travel ban.
You had a life in the US you were studying, you had a job.
And yet you decided to completely uproot and come to
Canada and start from zero, because I
don't have a future there. Why not? This not guaranteed?
I love this. My future is not guaranteed anymore. You're only
legal. Yeah, how
did you feel crossing that border into Canada leaving
behind that life that you'd built for more than three so
bad? I swear like it was the worst one hour for me. I really
like I loved us, like USA. I still love USA people as a
people as a community as everything
more and more every day deciding that this nation of immigrants
is no longer a welcome home for immigrant Today fleeing with the
hope that their next stop will be.
So I found that to be very disingenuous. The we know Yeah,
we know that it's 98% I'm sorry, 97% of all scientists say it's
Haitians, who are who are moving there? And yeah, I'm sure you
get some people who've been around for 1718 years, and then
they want to move and I'm a call out to our candidate avian
producers. I need some boots on the ground reporting, what are
people saying? Do you have Antifa? Do you have them saying,
oh, you can't turn these people back? And what do you feel about
your Prime Minister United States
apparently is frustrated by a lack of information on the would
be refugees who have been crossing into Canada? Why isn't
Canada's Border Agency telling United States more information
about who these
know it's not our and how they got there.
I know that it is a very good thing that our Minister of
Public Safety Ralph Goodale, is right now meeting with Homeland
Security Secretary Kelly, to discuss these and other issues.
Canada has a strong and rigorous system for processing refugees
and immigrants. We do not compromise on security, we
ensure that we know everything there is to know about, about
people arriving to our shores. And at the same time, we are
also committed to protecting the privacy rights of Canadians and
of people in Canada. And as we move forward in a way that is
close collaboration and partnership with our friends and
allies, we continue to understand that it is important
to defend people's rights. getting that balance right is
always a thoughtful, thoughtful and engaged process in which we
will continue to to work carefully with with allies like
the United States to ensure that we're both meeting the needs and
concerns around security and staying true to respecting our
rights. blahdy blahdy blah,
yeah, blahdy blahdy blah. You can't have it both ways. Mr.
Trudeau, you can't be the open fun loving Canada and at the
same time be sending these people back or it sounds to me
like they're talking about ramping up. Surveillance because
we have to be mindful of our citizens privacy. I'm not sure
why else he would mention that. I think he's telegraphing
something doesn't even realize it. But I'd like to know how is
this going down in Canada? What do people think? And we're gonna
have protesting of the same thing here. Are you worse than
we are Canada? Mean? Will you have sanctuary cities? But I
need to know
I'm very, very excited. sanctuary city in Canada.
This is gonna have been what's gonna happen? We'll see. We'll
see. Right now that put him in in the stadium. Oh, well.
Oh, well. Yeah, you're gonna have to good I think maybe this
is our scheme all along.
Send them all to Canada. Beautiful. Go to Canada. It's
great. And when apparently once
you're in you, you request asylum then then you're in
do it. So I picked up I was watching one of these, you know,
I have a good American heroes channel or something. And one of
these, you know, they they either play Hitler, US histories
or aliens. Good stuff. Good stuff. Yeah. And but they also
had this whole CIA series, which I'm wondering how they got to
where they got the permission to do these. But they played a,
the, the outline of the Guatemalan takeover that the CIA
orchestrated in 1954, which is one of the early schemes when
the CIA was really trying to take over governments and cause
revolutions. They're having a lot of fun. And I believe that
this this particular story here and I've been saving this for
about a month, about the about the Guatemalan takeover in 1954.
And the way the CIA orchestrated it, which was mostly through
lying it kind of for a couple of days wanted brought into the
schools, which by the way, doesn't make any sense anymore,
but they still talk about it. Oh, the first thing you want to
do in a revolution is take over the radio station. Yeah, of
course. Yeah. What this is where it comes from? It comes from
this particular episode in time in 1954. This doesn't work
anymore, by the way, as far as I can see, but but I think that
this model that they created is the one they still try to use
even even though they tried to use it on on our on the public
itself, like American public because you know, in their
battle against Trump, perhaps, but it's a fascinating story
because It was they took over a whole country with, with more or
less nothing but bullcrap just lies. So let's try this. Let's
listen to this. I think it'd be fun.
Eight days into the CIA backed coup of Guatemala, and rebel
leader Castillo armas, still hasn't ousted the Guatemalan
President Jacopo our bends from power. To new fighter planes,
and psychological warfare, have together begun to make their
mark. And now the CIA plays its very last trick.
What this critical stage, Phillips introduced what he
called his most important big lie.
The important big lie is the final stage of the fake radio
broadcasts, which present an entirely made up version of the
invasion.
So in some ways, there were two invasions. There was the real
invasion that showed a paltry invasion force, its numbers
reduced by half. And then there was the map created by radio
liberazione. It suggested the force was having unimpeded
progress.
The CIA radio broadcasts tell us one victory after another, and
invasion, which in reality, doesn't exist at all.
Rebel forces were moving, they were moving towards the Capitol,
the invasion was successful, the uprising was coming. It was one
tail after another of the inevitable victory of the rebel
forces.
The biggest lie of all, is when the radio reports that 1000s and
1000s of fictitious soldiers are closing in on Guatemala City
itself.
In the lie was the two military columns were advancing on the
Capitol, ready to take it over.
The Big Lie gamble now pays off
1000s fled the city, car traffic stop. The city itself was slowly
becoming paralyzed. He lacked empathy for lrpt failure in the
last three people
ran to the outskirts of the city, they were fleeing to
safety.
This conjures up some fascinating ideas, but I'll wait
because I know you have a second clip.
Yeah, this was an interesting, by the way, didn't he I think is
Denise de Souza, that one of these guys that just came up
with a book called The Big Lie, which is talking about what's
going on today. But this whole thing when you watch this, and
it's a little longer than what I have, obviously, is just a
fascinating mechanism that that worked in 1954. And I think that
the CIA and some of these other agencies, I think they're still
using this old playbook, not too much of fat and not to good
effect. And I think a lot of the failures that took place in
stories like the legacy of ashes and other books that came out
discussing some of their flops. I think it's all because of this
huge success that took place this play part to
the critical moment of the Big Lie is when the senior officers
turn against the Guatemalan president. The big
payoff for black psyops comes when several army colonels make
clear to Arbenz that they're not going to stand with him. They
basically tell him, you and your communist friends have got us in
trouble with the Americans. And now you've got to step down.
One by one, the officers around our bends distance themselves
from the isolated president.
So you're a colonel in the Guatemalan army, you're hearing
news of military action. And you're starting to ask yourself,
Where am I going to be? Where am I going to stand when the dust
settles
politically isolated, the pressure on our bends surges to
dizzying heights. Not only does he fear defeat at the hands of
our mass, but also the terrifying prospect that America
is behind him.
It's not the issue of us fighting. Castillo armas and his
guys gets that the United States is threatening to invade and
we'd have to fight them.
He was sitting in his presidential office, the
wilderness and unsure what to do. He had collapsed internally.
The CIA had brilliantly undermine them. And that was
really the end of his brain.
With the officers turning against him on June 27, are
Ben's resigns,
couldn't he just couldn't handle it? The psychological pressures
were too enormous.
10 days later, because Dr. Mess is sworn in as Guatemala's new
president. To the exiled colonel, who just over a week
earlier was a relatively unknown figure is now the most powerful
man in the country. In Washington, operation, PB
success goes down as a huge victory.
By all accounts, this is an operation that should not have
succeeded. This was made possible by gutsy determination,
and in some ways, crazy abandon
operation, PB success was a brilliant deception, one of the
great artistic achievements of illusion that the CIA ever
produced.
Beautiful theater of the mind. I love it.
Yes, it was great. And, you know,
I think we could teach CIA a lesson, because this would still
work today. But you know, the whole concept of a radio or
television that's, that's not how you want to do this. I know
we could actually do this. So here's the scene. If you're
going to do this on Facebook Live, that's how you're going to
do it with a with a crappy ass iPhone. You're going to go down
in the dark. And you know, it's like, I'm on the Texas border
with Mexico. Like, John, I'm here. I'm seeing I think we have
ISIS. ISIS is actually coming across the border, John. Look,
you can see,
and he goes on the backup. Camera telling you we could
freak people out. And if people would take it seriously, I
guarantee you people will take it seriously.
Bogus reports. Remember, during the I guess, parts during part
of the Syrian conflict and where they had this, people doing live
reports from one of the rocket, not rocket but whatever, palms
or whatever the town was, and there's no proof of any of it.
Yeah, I mean, the gas attack that Trump took, you know, took
a serious Yeah. Which seemed pretty sketchy. Yeah. The
Russians denied all this. But by the all of this, this is being
done on a mediocre basis. But if you had some, you know, so hot
shots doing it, somebody who really could do it, well, Wag
the Dog level. I think you could have some fun with it. Yeah, but
they need to do it on some you want to accomplish a
need to do it on Facebook Live, that's for sure. That's the only
way to do it. They have multiple, multiple reports,
whatever it is, whatever you want to do.
Now, well, the news media, I mean, the big networks, they
fall for it, because they're, besides the fact that they're
not the doesn't seem to be that bright. They've already fallen
for they follow Trump's tweets. You know, like it's a word from,
you know, Mount Zion or something. It's just Trump
tweeted today, and another tweet came here and a tweet came
there. And then they have different analysts come on and
look at the tweets, kind of go on analyzing the tweets, and
what did he mean?
He's unglued?
Isn't he glued
unglued? unhinged big orange Cheeto.

happy birthday. And happy birthday from everybody here the
best podcast in the universe. We have no nights no title changes
nights again. Tonight so nothing no nothing no nothing, no
nothing. But I do have a nice little ditty something we've
talked about that we've talked about extensively. I think you
kind of turned me on to it about the jury pool being being
corrupted being grumpy Yeah, you know thinking that everything's
like zoom in rotate enhanced Yes, we got in a good 15 minutes
Yeah, the DNA is what it's and it's finally coming to a head.
The DNA scam, even the brain professor, put a post on the
face bag about the the Yeah, the headache of the DNA crisis. As
it turns out, you know, these DNA tests aren't all that great.
They are not always so incredibly conclusive, then new
cases are being opened up, and that it's just not the way it
is. And CSI Miami, or New York or any other CSI for that
matter. Inside addition of all programs, did their own version
of proving their something up by testing identical twins,
triplets, and even quadruplets, with the commercially available
23 And me. And what is it to Ancestry DNA that I think they
tested all of them. This is me, the
commercials run day and night,
simple swab of the cheek from Family Tree DNA
companies offering to unlock the secrets to your ancestry or to
your DNA kit for only $99. Today, millions of people are
buying these home DNA test kits. Here we go. So we got to
wondering how accurate are they? What would happen if for
example, triplets took the tests, you'd certainly expect
them to have identical ancestry, I think they'll be the same I
think it'd be the same. So we found a set of identical
triplets we have Devon sent in Erica McGraw is the daughter in
law of Dr. Phil McGraw. Her husband Jay is the executive
producer of TVs the doctors. Erica and her sisters use the
popular tests 23 and me move your arm offers also tested the
Maynard triplets, you may remember them from their
appearance on American Idol. We sent their swabs to a test kit
company called Family Tree DNA. And these identical triplets
from New Jersey used a kit from Ancestry DNA. We even added in
this rare set of identical quadruplets.
Something that they can all sing apparently,
you were all 99% European, but the test from 23 and me also
showed some surprising differences. For example,
Nicole, you're 11%, French and German. But Erica, you're 22.3%
French and German. 18% Wow. See how the Maynard triplets did
with their test from Family Tree DNA. According to the kit you
took these are the results. They all showed British Isles
ancestry, but how is it that the range was so different? Erin had
59% Mandy 66% And Melissa 70%. Of how is it possible that Mandy
showed 6% Scandinavian ancestry but her identical sisters showed
none.
We're not to a place yet where you can just spit in a cup and
had every single answer that you're looking for. I think that
that's what people need to be aware of.
Since our test Family Tree DNA says they've improved their
algorithm and they'll be implementing the new method in
the next several weeks. Me said the results they feature on
their website have a 50% confidence level. But if a
customer chooses a higher level of confidence, the results will
be more generic.
It's bull crap. Total bull crap. Hey, but I'm very disappointed
that no one in this group was asking us to do that makes no
sense. Because everyone's asking us you Jim according to this
test.
That's reminds me again of the jury pool being corrupted with
the idea that good what we just witnessed here, which seems to
indicate this is nonsense. With my favorite thing, and I have to
talk to a lab about this. I actually have some lab stuff I
want to have done and with some chemicals. I'm looking for them.
Wow, what chemicals are you talking about
manganese. And so I'm looking at the thing goes like this. What
are we gonna do? We haven't got his DNA. We can't he's not gonna
volunteer to give us a swab. I've got the glass he touched.
Yes. He touched the glass
DNA got me. We've got we've got him.
Yeah, okay. You got you. You left him through his greasy
hand. He's left his DNA somehow. And by the way, another one I
think that they missed out on inside edition. Because you
know, that's a good show. And Victoria workstyle you because
we know Vicki, and she. Anyway, the idea is to do a dog swab. I
put somebody out
and send that and see what the dog swabs comes back as the dog.
I know what it's gonna be
asking how she fresh from the chair.
Hey, I got a real phrase from the chaise since your night
since you're slacking
Yeah, I am slacking, I gotta get back on track. Yeah,
here's one blowing smoke look up your ass. Okay? This is not just
to say one of the this goes back to 1746 When a woman was left
unconscious after nearly drowning, her husband allegedly
took the suggestion of administering a tobacco enema to
revive her, a practice that was rising in popularity at the time
as a possible answer to the frequent local instances of
drowning. Blood filled with little choice, the man took a
tobacco filled pipe, inserted the stem into his wife's rectum,
and blew a bunch of smoke up there. As strange as it may
sound today, it reportedly worked the hot embers of the
tobacco leaf, jolting the wife back into consciousness and the
practice grew quickly from there. And then there's a couple
of articles that I put in the show notes. And, by the late
1700s, the method have become a regularly applied medical
procedure, mostly used to revive people thought to be nearly
deceased, usually drowning victims. The process was so
common in fact that several major waterways kept the
instrument consisting of bellows and the flexible tube nearby in
case of such emergencies. So blowing smoke up my ass has a
history. Wow. How about that? I'm stunned once again.
From the chair, I will now go back back to work I got a bunch
of them backed up of cool phrases that you know people
don't understand good comes up at the dinner with the
millennials, it's like you say something? What was that? They
don't know anything. To explain in great detail. Hey, I
see. You got a clip here. So
good phones, a landline, and the phone should be made out of
Bakelite.
That's right. Everybody has time for tech news. All the tech
horns move aside. We got the real tech news for you. Hey.
Yeah, let's play this clip.
You're gonna tell me what to
do a big consumer headline this evening. A shopping showdown is
Google and Walmart announced they're teaming up to take on
Amazon stepping up the fight for your money, and VCs Joe fryer
now with details.
In the Battle of the retail giants brick and mortar
powerhouse, Walmart now has an unlikely ally tech titan Google,
huge companies teaming up to take on the country's biggest
online retailer Amazon.
This partnership keeps Walmart relevant. They've owned the
retail space of the past and this partnership with Google can
propel them into the future.
This Google Walmart partnership starts in late September and
will focus on voice activated shopping. Alexa, buy paper
towels. The top search result for paper towels is bounty
white. It's an emerging ecommerce trend that uses these
high tech speakers. Alexa, Amazon currently dominates the
market with a popular gadget called the echo shoppers can
order products simply by speaking
Alexa, ordered trash liners, as sound glad told trash bags.
Would you like to buy it? Yes,
Google's answer to the Echo is the Google Home pay Google. It
links consumers to Google Express a virtual shopping mall
with more than 40 retailers, Walmart's the first one letting
customers link their store accounts to Google. So the tech
company can examine their shopping history to reorder
items faster and get recommendations. Voice ordering
is the next frontier. Many think when it comes to ordering and
Walmart wants to make sure that they've put their stake in the
ground. For Google analysts say it's a chance to boost sales for
Google Home which lags behind the echo. And for consumers.
When companies compete. They innovate and you know, that
lowers prices and makes it more convenient for the consumer
giving shoppers Alexa, okay, Google Voice.
But I would like to remind everybody that several years ago
by tested this device, and I said if this had an apple logo
on it, people would be losing their crap over it. And I was
correct. And I think I also said correctly, this is the shopping
interface of the future. And that's what it that's what it's
for. That has always been their intent. I know you don't like
it. Bad Sonos. And by the
way, you can link your Walmart account. Great has a Walmart
account to link.
You'd be surprised.
Alright, so here's the Pro. Okay, go ahead. I mean, you can
stop me, but you go so order me some paper towels. Order me some
garbage bags that govern Do you ever get to get out of the
house, go shopping, go buy your garbage bags. For one thing. I'm
not gonna be able to get the garbage bags I want to the ones
I want are just specific one that Costco I have to go to
Costco and when I go to Costco, I might pick up some other
things like some you know, red wine or some meat, some lamb
chops. There's a lot of things you want to do when you I'm not
going to order this stuff with my voice. I'd like Cemal because
when I go by the law I am chops, I have an extra number of people
coming over and have to count the number of lamb chops in the
package. And whether they're thick or whether they're all
beat up or they're fatty. Maybe I look at the meat, I said this
beast to fatty, I don't want this meat, and I go buy
something else, I make a change on the spot and make a change on
the fly. You can't do that. With all this kind of bullcrap
ordering. And I don't know what can, you know, I like paper
towels, there's a lot of different kinds of paper towels.
And I like to I personally like the ones that get prints on
them. I think they're funny. And they look, you know, they're all
lady paper towels. And you look at all this paper towels are on
sale, let me get those are a good target, I'll buy some paper
towels. They're just not rigid. I'm buying just one thing. I'm
gonna get lamb chops, whether they're good or bad. This is
nonsense. This is crazy. People should read, they should refuse
to do business with this with this horrible machine. All
right, but I am going to give you my
report from the 21st century that I am responsible for the
pantry in this household that Tina has a real job. The i
However, I'm a podcaster. And yeah, I really, I really don't
get out of the house much. I'll be the first to admit that. The
here is how I do it. There are a number of items that are ordered
through Amazon for the household, the shampoo,
conditioner, you know, deodorant, and I'll order packs
of five, you know, it's handy. It's very handy. And and most of
these come from Amazon.
And okay, hold on. You're ordering shampoo from Amazon
using the talking device?
Do you want me to? I'll tell you what I'm doing the talking
device. I'm gonna write that down. The Talking Stick, John,
doggy, using the talking stick Talking
Stick? Yes, I'm using the talking stick, you see? Yes.
Because once you have ordered it through Amazon, the assets it's
been it's in my history, then I all only have to say book of
knowledge. Because as you know, I've changed my name and mines
names and book of knowledge as a reorder shampoo. And then the
talking stick will say, Oh, in your history, you have this Do
you want me to reorder it, they say yes. And it's done. And it's
very convenient. The other thing I have here in the 21st century
is Instacart. But the Austin is a testbed for all of these
services. And this is where you pay someone else's child of the
same age to go and get your groceries. So and I do the same
thing, all the annoying big heavy stuff. And I already know
what I like and I can buy from Costco through the app. I can
order anything from Costco in their Costco sizes through the
app or HEB, or Whole Foods or whatever. And I can order it all
mix and match and not to be from one store. And then someone
else's child brings it to my door. And I'll use it come on in
and put it right here on the kitchen counter and I can put it
away. And you pay a fee for that, obviously, but it's less
than the grief you would get from your kids for doing it.
This of course used to take place in the 30s 40s and 50s.
Most grocery stores have this service and many of them just
continue to have this service
I'm seeing I'm actually seeing a resurgence. ATB now has its own
delivery service and their app because it's really the
convenience of the app and how it tracks. So when it's time for
me to you know, maybe twice a week, I go into the app and I
say view what I previously ordered like click click click
click now every day, almost every day except show days.
Around three. I hop hop in the truck and I drive to the grocery
store and I select what I'm going to cook for that evening
and I will look at because I will of course I'm not going to
have someone there's some Instacart shopper or the talking
stick deliver my prime meat or fish or chicken for that motto
and really chicken anymore. That really I'd need to do that
myself. And it's very enjoyable job because then I don't have to
lug around all the other heavy crap. I like to pay for it. I
like the bounty paper towel that has the half sheets but I don't
want any gay designs on it. And that just comes I
resemble that. And by the way they have had most of the paper
towels now I have half
sheets I like well I like the half sheets. So everybody likes
to have anyway. I will tell you being from the future Amazon has
a lock on this. They were very smart to do it. They have a lock
on it and yes of all of the privacy concerns all that is all
perfectly valid. I'm just saying they have a lock on it and all
that and they all they need to do is buy Instacart and you just
say I reordered that reorder that I need some of that, and
then the child will bring it this is people like
your slaves a slave. Yes, you Hello. Yes
it is but it's paid slave.
Well, let's go back. Okay, well, that's fine. I'm glad that this
is working out for you now but let's go back to the story. What
chance do you think Google and what is it even legal? Don't
Does anyone think Google is like pushing their their luck here
with it with antitrust? With what they're teaming up with
Walmart? This isn't a positive thing for society. No, what do
you think of that Google Walmart deal?
Yeah, I mean, the privacy concerns is really is the issue
by now, yeah, I, you know, look,
and if they're gonna compete with is, Google's gonna teaming
up with Walmart? Are they going to try to screw over because
Google has the ability to do that? Screw screw over Amazon,
somehow.
They're going to try I'm sure they will. This is what the
battle is about. I'm very happy. I'm in Austin. I do get to try
all this stuff that's in the same with favor as another one's
like, on the days that we don't feel like going out. I don't
feel like cooking is like does have some child bring the food
from the actual restaurant we were didn't want to go to
is a beautiful thing. Yes. Well, there's the
But meanwhile, to answer it, to play into your question. Sonos
did I have a Sonos system here, wireless speaker system, they
just updated their terms of service, saying, Okay, here's
all the stuff we're going to track. IP addresses, logins.
Although, of course, we don't keep we keep your salted hash
password mobile devices, you use, I mean, all the typical
stuff. But if you do not agree to the Terms of Service, then we
cannot guarantee your devices will work. So you really have to
really have to agree to the term devices.
Are you talking about the wireless
speakers from Sonos?
That's what you use for you. Hello, Google. No, no, but
they're going to implement one. They're going to they're going
to go in as a third party. They're going to interface with
Amazon, I
believe. Carter, do
you have any idea
my thinking from what I've read is that they will try to
integrate all of the services, they want to be the speakers.
They don't want to develop their own voice stick stick voice.
They want to be able to incorporate Siri and Google
Cortana whatever. And then the Alexa all of that.
What are you gonna say to it? You're gonna say Cortana does
Cortana stuff?
I think so. Yeah, I think so.
Hello? Cortana. That's
their idea. Sorry. That's I don't know. I'm
sorry, not Cortana. I rebuke Cortana.
It could be fighting with the
What about if you're using a VPN? How's that working? I
don't know. Now, I'm gonna move on to two other quick topics.
One is Spotify. I'm watching this very closely. Spotify is
gearing up to for their initial public offering, this company
does not make any money, they lose money, then And arguably,
they you know, the music business is ruined because of
this, because of the streaming. I think I can argue that point.
I won't do it now. First News we got early in the week is Goldman
Sachs already sold a lot of their insider shares before they
even got on the roadshow for the IPO. And now, Spotify, I
believe, is so desperate. They plan to bypass the IPO and list
directly on the New York Stock Exchange without an
institutional, the trading house behind them. That's
why they're going to do a reverse merger how they're going
to do that. That's that doable.
Well, I can read the article from Bloomberg for you. Yes,
please. Spotify executives have met with US regulators
scrutinizing the music company's plan to skip a traditional share
sale and list directly on the New York Stock Exchange. Senior
Spotify executives met with us security Securities and Exchange
Commission officials last month last month said the people who
asked not to be identified discuss the private meetings.
Regulators asked for the meeting to get details on the plan by
the world's largest paid music streaming service that do an end
run around initial public offering the conventional route
to listing shares the company has remained in touch with the
SEC and talks are ongoing.
I'm gonna have to ask somebody how this works because the
reason you do the IPO because you offer a bunch of shares 20
million shares to raise or sell them directly and you take that
money and put it in your coffers Yeah, if you're gonna just
dribble it out as though it was already being traded. Where's
where has that big pot money? Where's the big pot of money?
It's not an IPO this this is this is what's I think what's
the point? I don't think they can get an underwriter. I think
that's the problem. I think everyone looked at Spotify and
went I'm not going to underwrite that piece of crap,
but that he said Goldman Sachs was going to do it, but they
sold their shares. Well, that's fine. You can still be out of it
and just underwrite for the basis of the company getting
some in some money
underwriting means that you stand guaranteed to buy those
shares when it starts trading. And they clearly don't believe
in it.
Lower the price. Yeah. You know, you could say I don't understand
this is I'm gonna have to look into this because this makes
zero sense to me. Spotify is a well known company people invest
in anything. It could possibly make money somewhere down the
road after destroying the industry sounds like a horror
story monster that ate Hollywood.
All right, but we'll talk to Horowitz about it. He may he may
know something. And then finally just for me, I just had to
chuckle as Volkswagen apparently has announced they're going to
build an electric version of the Volkswagen Microbus kiss I
wanted to get your take on this because the way I looked at it
was Oh, so cool. Totally getting want a Pinterest needed Oh yes.
I'm thinking to myself self. The Volkswagen bus represented the
ultimate freedom machine. You got your bus you threw a
mattress in it you are driving across the country to Monterey
baby you are going everywhere through the desert you had
freedom. How in Allah's name does the electric version of
that convey the same freedom it doesn't and no one is saying gee
it's just it's it's brain damage global brain damage. Yeah,
electric vehicles this can't wait to get it got me free for
150 miles
that I'm free and free to go to Whole Foods
I'm free to
hopefully be a charging station every time that local Whole
Foods here in Berkeley this is going to be everywhere the local
Whole Foods you go there you know I take my gasoline car.
Yeah, and I go there and I look at these all these charging
racks there and they're all full. Yeah. Yes. Here's what
they're just for me they could have 20 of them they'd be full
they're full up and then yesterday when I went there to
get somewhere yesterday the day before whenever recently I go
there and one of the electrical things is just laying there on
the thing where you can roll over it with a sharpie guy these
things are dangerous
yeah, there's a lot of the amps are the amperage is quite high
on the charging station. They can be dangerous. They we know
that the EMTs and firefighters receive special instructions on
what to and what not to do when there's a an electric vehicle
involved in an incident or hybrid. Yeah, you can get
electrocuted.
Yeah, easily. Yeah. Well being burned to death in a gasoline
car. Have you seen that or argument?
Give me the Tesla's flame out they can flame well i We got a
note from
one of our producers who was bitching he says that they don't
want to talk about it because you know every time he talks
about anything with regarding the Tesla Musk calls you
personally and yells at you is that he says the underside of
the where the batteries all are so unprotected that if you and
it's happened to everybody at least once every few years you'd
be driving along you hit something on the road it goes
under bangs the underneath bottoms out Yeah, bottoms the
pan. Yeah, or your bangs Yes. And it goes flying in there.
Boom. He says that happened to him and it wrecked the car was
because of just the this it totaled the car. And he's just
the insurance was 100,000 a year he had to don't think was had to
take all the insurance. He lost end up losing the car. It was a
leased thing or somebody lost a lot of money by driving this
thing around. And it was not. I didn't know that. I mean, I
could read the letter. It was it was a tale of low let's put it
that way
now. But I just continued to be amazed that people buy into this
idea of freedom freedom cars, and just just beautiful free I'm
free finally from Big Oil. Screw those guys. They're like tobacco
guys lie in everywhere. Just I hate Trump. I've got my electric
vehicle until the grip
equals hate Trump.
That's pretty much
my phone
All right, everybody. That's it for your tech news. The only
knew this man dies.
So I had a I got just short clip. This is a woman that
they're getting her chance she's on PBS and national show. She's
a local from Phoenix. She's reporting on the Trump rally.
Oh, she's got good, good, good, good, good. And so she makes it
short clips just makes a gaffe. And you can just see she's
trying to figure out if she should do anything. No, she's
gonna plow through it using the old maybe nobody will notice
follow him. They're still with the President. Arizona has been
a red conservative state for many, many years. Although I do
have to mention that you In the 2016 election, Hillary Trump was
behind Donald Trump just by 3.5%. So right now,
nobody noticed honey, you were great. No one heard it. Don't
worry about it. You're fantastic. You'll do even better
next time. I'll give you I'm gonna give you a clip of the
day. I'm generous today.
I'll give you that one.
give you that one. I'll give you that. That I was wondering about
the genesis of the report that North Korea has miniaturized
nooks, Nooks. And I was wondering about this and you
know, how did this just pop up all of a sudden, how did this
come to the forefront? What is it? Where did it come from? This
is a podcast, Colonel John and towel. I think these retired I
think some of his he gives lists some of his his credits in this
clip, and he knows he knows where the report came from
beskar act I served seven years in Korea and different tours, I
commanded a tank battalion book consisting of infantry armor and
artillery. There was a task force actually, Dragon Force
they called it in on the DMZ for two years, and also served in
high level staffs in the in the Combined Forces Command and the
United States Forces Korea. Plus, I was very involved with
the third armored corps in the United States at Fort Hood,
involving Planning for Contingencies if we ever went to
war in Korea. So I've been following it very closely. I
travel there a lot. I know a lot of people in the Korean military
and of course, our US military, and I've been keeping very
abreast of the situation and talking with some of the
decision makers. So it's interesting right now, to see
where we are.
Let's talk a little bit about the the rocket capability and
the news from a DIA report leaked into the American media
that they have miniaturized nuclear warheads. In other
words, they have at least from a standpoint of pieces on the
ground, complete ICBM test, what are your thoughts on that
particular happenstance? And the fact that we now know what those
miniaturize warheads exist? Well, the
report came out today saying that President Obama was briefed
about that about a year ago. So we
okay, this offers new bullcrap. It's totally all bullcrap.
I only have the one.
I want you to play. I want you to play us out. But I have a
question. Do you remember? Liz McCain. She was the BBC reporter
who exposed Jimmy Savile and all the pedophilia going on and
certainly in show business in the UK. Yeah. And she actually
quit in 2013 after executive decided to ban her investigation
and said, Now we gotta we can't be reporting on this. You
remember her?
Vaguely?
Well, she's dead. 52
Why would I laugh? 52.
Yeah, there you go.
He's dead. Now there. Yeah. The point you've always been making?
Yeah. Yeah. This
is why we don't talk about
it. That's why the that's why the station was burned down.
Thanks to you.
Yes, yeah, you start talking about the elites and their
pedophilia. And before you know it, you're dead. You got a
number three best selling book on The New York Times bestseller
list.
Well, let's finish with a another screwy story, which is
this is the second missile destroyer. Yes. That was rammed
by a tanker and they fired I did not in this report, but they
fired they headed the Seventh Fleet. I think yesterday. And
this is like now at this point. Somebody's got to say or is the
Navy been hacked? Or what? No, oh, tonight
The Navy has now ordered an investigation looking into the
performance of its entire Pacific fleet as it pauses
operations worldwide. NBC is Janice Mackay Freya is in
Singapore with more.
Tonight, once again, a frantic search at sea for missing us
sailors 10 unaccounted for. After the USS John S. McCain was
struck by a tanker the destroyer gashed dented and listing. Navy
officials now ordering a temporary halt to their entire
operations to figure out why two incredibly sophisticated Navy
ships have collided with other vessels in just two months.
For naval operations, broader inquiry will look at all related
accident incidents and see
it happened in the darkness 5:24am local time, the USS
McCain passing east of the busy Strait of Malacca on its way to
Singapore, colliding violently with a larger 600 foot oil and
chemical tanker, the USS McCain take Hang on water including
flooding inside the rooms where crew members sleep
yes by have thoughts and information
via you first I'm interested. Well,
I truly now believe in conjunction with what happened
in Cuba. With the sonic weapon.
I believe we have a clip for that if you want to play it yes,
let's
play it well what is it?
It is Cuban diplomat fiasco.
Yeah. Okay good
connects tonight to that diplomatic mystery now
deepening. We've reported here on several US officials working
in Cuba. suffering symptoms are so serious they were rushed home
for treatment. At one point it was blamed on some sort of Sonic
device. Well, tonight the State Department is now being asked
Did any of the workers suffer from traumatic brain injury ABCs
Victor kendo from Miami tonight.
Tonight new details about the mysterious illness that sickened
American officials in Cuba.
This is unprecedented. We have not seen this type of activity
take place before
the State Department revealing today that some of those
Americans had to be medically evacuated to Miami for treatment
and testing. The best
equipment is not going to necessarily be on the ground in
Cuba. We are bringing people to the best medical experts on the
mainland in the United States starting in
December of 2016. Sources say that appears some officials were
exposed to a sonic device in Havana that cause serious health
problems and physical symptoms including hearing loss. No
sources are telling our Miami station WP LG, those symptoms
included memory loss, loss of balance and vision issues.
Experts tell ABC News that sound waves above and below the range
of human hearing could potentially cause permanent
damage. The State Department today pressed on a report that
some officials were diagnosed with injuries as severe as brain
injury.
I'm not going to confirm the medical status of any US
government personnel. But what has happened, there is of great
concern to the US government, the
US has responded by expelling to Cuban diplomats earlier this
year, the Secretary of State recently calling it an attack
and demanding answers. We hold
the Cuban authorities responsible for finding out who
is carrying out these health attacks. So not just our
diplomats. But as you've seen now, there are other cases with
other diplomats as well.
Yeah, I'm really forming an opinion based on evidence that
we see here, or at least, these clips if you want to call it
evidence. To me this really started and I was listening to
this clip I was looking for one of the clips of it happened a
couple of times in a row. We had an unusually an entertainment
reporter and then it was as if they got zapped by something and
they started talking total utter nonsense. Yeah, the babbling.
Yeah. Do you remember what we might have called that clip?
Lab? Babbling for sure. That's not it? I
don't remember. But we probably did about three, maybe more of
those.
Yeah. Well, I'll have to see if I can find. So this is years
ago. And we and I think we even asserted then of this could be a
test of some kind see if the system works. This is this is
definitely a sonic weapon. The I mean, look how serious the State
Department is taking it. There's no Pooh poohing we're not really
going to comment on the medical condition. And you can say Sonic
weapon, but I would say it's a form of a directed energy
weapon. Just it would be a sound wave energy.
Well, there's two reports, one that we played about two or
three weeks ago, when this first came up from a CIA guy saying
yeah, don't jump to conclusions. And then the Wiki Leaks came
out. Yes, with a report that this is some CIA, again, is
talking about this. I think it was a CIA weapon that they were
testing and we do it we don't mind testing stuff on our own
people.
Well, it this is either a test or we are under I think this is
a very scary test of the chips. And the as it would be in our
production universe. One of our producers steps on was on the
McCain and he wrote me a note because I of course said but if
you talk to him, is it Yes, I talked to him that will you
know, hey, I mean, I'm really happy safe, but dude, you gotta
mind you gotta mind him for information. And so he wrote me
know this is a producer I'm not gonna say his last name. I don't
know if he wants to. Producer Greg. The only thing of interest
he mentioned that was that the boat suffered a power failure
two critical components. Notice he didn't say power, failure to
everything. I'm beginning to wonder if there's some kind of
weird, experimental, direct, directed EMP weapon being
tested. This is least the fourth collision in the last 18 months
and most of the reports, if I recall correctly started with
some sort of catastrophic power failure. At any rate, I have no
clue what actually happened. I'm just happy my steps on the safe
alive and well, but eight for him as I know that he knew the
10 sailors who are missing and most likely dead. He has a tough
road ahead of him. And of course, we're thinking of him as
well. But this is not supposed to happen. catastrophic power
failure to critical components is not something
that's going to make you spend it. They the Navy spends extra
money. Yeah. For hardened components, I mean, it's not the
case that that you'd even buy if you're building a machine
yourself. They have they spent extra money for components that
do not are not susceptible to these issues. Supposedly milspec
by mil mil spec baby, that this podcast is milspec.
We're milspec as
right. Well, we're also out of here
to talk about this a little more, Horace, we will because
it's going to continue. Yes, it's stopping anytime soon.
Well, I'm going to be on the lookout for more entertainment
reporters going wacky with their speech.
I think that was that was stage one. I think that's over now but
maybe bring it back just to throw us off off guard. Maybe
possible possibility. All right, everybody. Thank you very much
