Boom. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, September
28 2017. This is your award winning get my nation media
assassination episode Niner six, eight This
is no agenda. Taking a knee eating a
sleeve and coming to you from the darkest corners of the
internet here in downtown Austin Tejas capital, the drone SAR
state in the gluteal in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where they're shootouts
everywhere. I'm John C. Dvorak. Greg Baden buzzkill Oh Say it
ain't so. Yeah, so What?
What? What shoot out?
Yes. shoot outs. Oh, man. That was a good one yesterday on the
freeway stopped the whole freeway. Like 10 Cops versus one
guy a black guy. She's always a black SUV, but
are they shooting and other drivers are just No, no, no,
that day they
chase this guy down they find surrounded him and they told me
they shot him nice and him down. Excellent. Okay, it was fun.
That could that could ruin your day. Well, if you were the guy
getting shut down. Sure
if you're. So I'll say up front. That it's probably about 5050
people who want to hear about the NFL controversy. And 5050
Who 50% Who don't?
I'm sure that sounds about right. Why would they do? What
is the controversy?
I don't know. Yeah, I thought you were going to do a bit today
you announced it in the newsletter. So I'm just stepping
back here. This is not my wheelhouse. First
of all, first of all this wasn't it. But wait, wait, wait, stop.
Why are we discussing it at all? Is a good question.
Because it's all about Trump and Trump's a president in the
United States and
NFL is now media it is now in five M they they're in?
Yeah. And they're all against Trump. They hate him. Because he
said some critical things about the fire the guys was put taken
out stars.
Oh, stop right there. I have heard so much bull crap about
what he actually said that I pulled the clip so we could
listen to it. I've heard I've heard people say to the call,
okay. You What did he say? What do you think he
said, I'd like to see the owners if they could, you know, see
that guy taken a knee and protested the flag and and
they'd like to see him fire him you're fired. He said
to what I think he said Is he was not specific towards
Kaepernick Kaepernick. What's his name?
No, no, Kaepernick is getting Kaepernick is not even in the
league. He's not taking me.
But it was it was nonspecific. And what I've heard, yes.
constantly repeated is he called black people, sons of bitches.
He called it just not what he said at all.
Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners? When somebody
disrespects our flag to say, get that son of a bitch off the
field.
So he's, he said one of these owners when someone disrespects
the flag a little different than the way that was twisted.
And, you know, the funny thing is, I never thought of twisting
it the way that you described, which because he says get that
son of a bitch off the field. And that would imply it's a
black guy. Therefore, he's calling black people son of a
bitches.
Worse than that, worse. Worse. Yes, worse than that. I take you
to the floor of the house for Democratic Republican
Representative Al Green, I rise
today, Mr. Speaker to make comments that I never thought
I'd have to make. And the Well, the word house. Listen,
Congress. I rise today to defend, denounce and announce
Mr. Speaker, I rise to defend any mother who has been called a
dog because her son is engaged in peaceful protest. I rise Mr.
Speaker, I rise today Mr. Speaker, to defend any son who
is called the son of a dog because
when I was 11 years old, that just means dog just means a
female dog doesn't mean anything else. He engaged
in peaceful protest. I rise Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, I rise to
denounce these comments that have been made and it gets
better cars they have brought discourse to a new low. Mr.
Speaker, this is a level of indecency, that is unbecoming
the presidency what Mr. Speaker I rise to say to the world
that was really you when he was tapping everything
becoming the presidency, Mr. Speaker I rise to say to the
world that this is not put a miracle calling people So bees,
and we know what a bee is. It's a dog. Mr. Speaker, I rise,
wait, because here we go, My heart tells me that I must do
something. Okay, this is speaker. All right now it's the
comments that were made. And I rise to announce that our next
week, Mr. Speaker, I will bring a privilege resolution before
the Congress of the United States of America. I will stand
here in the well of the Congress. And I will call for
the impeachment of the president of the United States of America.
We've gone insane.
Well, that guy, for sure. And I hate to do this early in the
show, but I'll give you a clip of the day for that. I never
heard this. I've missed it somehow. Yeah,
I'm blocking you that way. I mean, I knew you were gonna do
it. So I have to find things that are kind of on you know,
that I that I can't be Dell green that guys have. He's worse
than actually worse than Maxine Waters.
And he says because he called someone sons of dogs. B He
should be impeached. Yeah, that is
that sense.
That is really, really, there's one other thing I just want to
bring up just when we're talking about it, because in the
lexicon, we now have this taking a knee. Take a knee taking a
knee, and it really irks me. Yeah, it's like we have a name
for it's like, that's what I said, eating a sleeve. It feels
the same to me. You're eating a sleeve of Oreos?
No, no.
So taking a knee I just the whole thing is bothersome. But
it's an infectious. It works.
Well. It did get off to get Russians off the front page.
Yeah, briefly. in it. Well, well, the
New York Times this morning said that it's it looks like the
Russians are added again on Twitter. meddling in the NFL
controversy?
As a matter of fact. Yes. That has been in fact, it was
discussed on one of these clips I got that the Russians are kept
doing this. What do I have it? So this is from
the New York Times from this morning while you're looking for
that clip? And let's see it says here. We just find the NFL.
Yeah, because there's like we go. Not Found I just did that.
While I'm in this article, they claim that there are now fake
Twitter accounts who are riling up the the controversy over the
NFL, and they're using more fake ads and memes to do it to create
division between our people,
yeah, they had this? Well, I don't have it. But the report
went on to say that they've created these fake Twitter
accounts as if there are no fake Twitter accounts. In fact,
there's a there's a testing site you can go to, I think you've
mentioned it on the show before where you can put your name in
there and how many fake followers you have. I don't
remember that what that is, and it's always, very few people
have less than at least a third to a half of their followers are
fake. So if you're having a fake Twitter account, run by the
Russians, at least somebody's doing something these fake ones
are just seeming to be bots. Anyway, they claim that the
Russians are in their meddling on both sides of this debate.
You're arguing on the side of the protest or another project
that take a New Years. And the end they take in the years to
take a new year. And they've taken both and the reason is to
cause divisiveness.
Yes, those bastards. Sons of bitches. I tell you, those
Russians are either great talk about that later after we finish
this up.
Alright, so what's going on is that we're seeing and this
happened with the show business. Do we have a bunch of rich
athletes who are pissed off about one thing or another, and
are getting everything going their way except their income?
And so they're, they're making a big fuss. This was an anti Trump
protest is knee thing. Because Trump said something he said
anything, it's fine. And I think I think there's no coincidence
in the right wing.
Let me let me just stop you there. Do you really believe
that despite what everyone says, then it seems like the NFL
players actually aren't saying very much. But despite what
everyone says about them, that this is a protest against Trump
and not against police brutality against blacks, browns, yellows,
anything but white? Because we know
Yeah, that's an outside. The reason I say that is because the
first couple of weeks of the league national games, there was
like a guy here and a guy there's taking a knee and then
Trump shoots his mouth off. And next thing you know, the whole
team has taken a knee with the owner with them, right? So this
is a Trump and
I tell you, I'm more convinced today than ever. That it, people
are just looking at headlines don't read the articles. The
headline writing is so atrocious that Washington Post New York
Times they regularly have to retract their headline because
it's misleading and dishonest. Washington Post just had to do
that the other day.
And Washington Post reporter was confronted on one of these news
shows, I think it was like a news hour about what they're
going to try to do in some European newspapers, which is
you can't comment on an article in the comment section. Unless
you take a test. What kind of test that's just about the
article, that test is going to ask you a couple of questions
about the article and make sure you read it. Oh, because people
are just seeing headlines and then writing these long
comments. bitching and moaning
kids today are great at that they're very good at looking at
the question grabbing the cliffnotes Yeah, of course, and
just feeling that it won't be a problem. And so the by the way,
I really despise now this this new way of blocking you, you can
read the article for free, but you have to take the quiz. But
how much do you earn, you know, stuff like that before?
The artists know, I
know that I know. But I find that an irksome I have not
written into what you're talking just this morning, I had one
Yeah, it the first thing it says is you have to tell us how much
you make. And then maybe you'll get a second one. And then they
show you the article. So of course I bought in under 11,000
of them perfect. I'm sure I'm sure they'll show me the ad
right away no money to get from this guy. Let's go straight to
the article.
I have the ad blocker thing going on with mine. I do. But I
got to two things happen. One is you're running an ad blocker,
take it off, or you can't read the article at all. That's
Forbes. So I never read any Forbes article, if it's
something I really want to read. I'll do the old trick from the
1920s. You You got the headline and go find it. Google, see
where else it shows up. And you'll find two or three people
that reproduce the article and you just read it for free
without hassle?
Well, I have a you know, the freedom controller makes offline
copies of anything, and it has a whole actually, I think it's
artificial intelligence and machine learning. And it knows
what it has to pull out. That is just the text of the article.
And it bypasses all the JavaScript crap. So even on
Forbes, if I if I make a copy of it on the freedom controller, it
strips all it out gives me the full article. Just JavaScript.
Yeah, it's great.
Anyway, back to the football. So these guys are protesting Trump.
And I think that's where it's going. But the thing that
they're ignoring is the same thing. I think they're ignoring
in mainstream showbiz at these award shows and, and some of the
shows themselves, and the network shows in particular, is
that it's annoying to the public at large. And the public at
large. And there's a lot of people out there that are
adamant about their patriotism, and they're, you know, they've
served and they don't like seeing any of this sort of
thing. And so they just starting to reject these forms of
entertainment, because it is optional. There's no reason you
won't have to watch any of this stuff. And so you can go find
something else to watch. And, and the ratings have been down
for NFL and the attendance has been down at a lot.
That's what's very interesting to me that attendance is down.
And I didn't I didn't know this, I guess you told me after the
show was like, Really, I had no idea. And yes, it's really bad.
And they're very concerned about it. And this isn't helping the
right wing talkers, all believe that this is just causing a
problem because the naivete of these highly paid athletes and
the management of these football teams, they don't have a clue.
And they the NFL should have a clue. But they don't seem to
have a clue either. And they're letting this this happen. They
are aggravating a good portion of their, their audience, that
kind of people. Let's get this straight. The kinds of people
that go to football games are not the college academics.
They're not the radicals. They're the working class or
upper working class, upper middle class types, or middle
class types. Many of whom voted for Trump and they don't
appreciate this. Yeah, the I mean, it's thrown in their face.
There's a screw you guys if this I'm not going to a football game
to be lectured to about anything but football. And the same thing
with the with the TV people. They're completely off their ass
and there
may be some additional issues which I think they, you know,
really if you want to watch football, you know, HD big, big
screen at home that's you know, you can really see it the I
think televise American football is still some of the best
television made anywhere in the world. It's technically how they
do it, how they make it interesting. It's it's really an
incredible production. It's one of the reasonably I agree with
the Super Bowl, but I can watch any game just for that to be
interesting. And I like it a lot. But you know there because
people are dropping cable. You know, when you when you drop
cable then just like I was like a couple bucks seven bucks or
something that goes to ESPN that's down for them. They're
taking this, I think relatively big gamble and doing a lot of
stuff online, which just doesn't have the same experience. Yeah,
it's video and yeah, you can put on a big screen. It's just not
exactly the same. And I think they're making a mistake in
their focus of where the audience is, besides alienating
the audience and maybe even who the audience is,
Will alienating the audience and you don't have to alienate the
entire audience. It doesn't take much. And you have to remember
Trump did win. So he got a lot of votes of people. Also, it
wasn't the stadium weren't a whole bunch of teams that build
new stadiums and weird places. I think even San Francisco, I was
reading that. Just it's too much out of the way now people don't
want to go like didn't the 40 Niners move. Yes, they
moved to Santa Clara.
And is that tool.
So she says we're talking about this, they moved the entire
operation to Santa Clara, which is like 40 miles away from San
Francisco south on a crowded peninsula, and have been a
stadium that is funky. As far as I'm concerned. It looks like
something from a bad movie. And it is impossible to drive there.
Because if you go there, you can talk to anybody who's been to
any game at this place, Levi's Stadium, and they'll tell you
that after the game is over, it can take two to three hours just
to get out of the parking lot. Right?
Wow, it's
very poorly designed. That's pretty bad. It's and that's what
they tell you. So you had to take the train, if you want to
go to the game. So you take the train, which is a slow boat, to
say the least down the peninsula from San Francisco. Takes a good
3540 minutes on this crummy Cal train. Right? And then you know
things pack coming back and you have to wait to get get out.
When is it somewhat empty. It's a nightmare. And so this stadium
is I use watch a game. This stadium is about 1/3 full. And
what makes it worse. They thought it would be cool to make
the seats is bright red. And all that's done is make it obvious I
places I predict
I predict in our future virtual crowds being placed into every
shot. They have the technology it's very easy to do.
They're gonna have they're gonna be doing that now. Yeah, they're
gonna have to be doing that now. Exactly what you said. Yeah,
it looks horrible. I have done the research, even though it's
not really again. I don't hate sports.
I'm sorry. No,
I honestly don't. I think I think Baltimore's worried. I
mean, Woodhead is out eight more weeks. Everyone knows all my
Flack. I won't get him up to the Promised Land. They'll be lucky
if they go six and 10. This is the last thing the Ravens need
right now. But I don't know anything about it.
Yeah, well, that's true.
Thank you, Alex.
Baltimore would be likely to go 511. Anyway, back to this thing.
I think they're hurting their product and they don't seem to
understand it. And they're, they're caving to the you know,
a few years. Yeah. Okay. Kaepernick protests was what it
was, and now they can't get a job. Nobody's protesting the
fact that he's been blackballed. They haven't got the guts to do
that. Yeah, but the protest is vague police brutality and the
flag if we don't like the flag anymore, let's just get the
national anthem out of sports. Well, I'm not a military event.
Well get it out of sports. And this resolves this problem.
I I could not agree with you more. However, article 62 of the
NFL league rulebook states, the national anthem must be played
prior to every NFL game and all players must be on the sideline
for the national anthem. during the national anthem. players on
the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the
flag hold helmets in the left hand and refrain from talking.
The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good
condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that
we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect
for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by
the start of the national anthem may result in discipline such as
fines suspensions and or the forfeiture of draft choices for
violations of the above including first offenses. They
need to change that
I wonder what they're gonna do about the Dallas Cowboys all
taking a knee with their owner and coach that was pretty
interesting. Well, they're gonna have to find them big time if
they were gonna take this seriously. And problem is this
is this is like the college thing. No, and the Evergreen was
the best example. Nobody has the courage. The leadership is shot
no But he has the courage to expel the students for
violations of the student codes correct. And nobody has the guts
that like Trump says to fire these guys, because they got
these big contracts was not that easy, but you can find them and
just keep finding them. And then and not indicted, not go along
with it. And what we're seeing a football game is not a protest
what we're seeing with, with these players, and whoever else,
you coaches or owners, whoever's participating is a microcosm of
where we are right now today, because Sure, some of those guys
voted for Trump. Some of them voted for Hillary, some of them
didn't vote, but they have their own. I mean, you can make $30
million a year, and you still will have to do what your
environment expects you to do. That's these guys. They they
never talk about it, then they don't say anything. The NFL
really discourages them from saying anything of it's not
outside of NFL control. So this is what they have been forced to
do, by their environment, their families, their whoever it is
not necessarily their their teammates, but in some cases,
yes. And that's what's happening here. And if you don't, if you
don't say something, take a stand, take a knee, then you for
the other guy, or for the other position. It's a microcosm, if
you will, there's the hat. It's a microcosm. And ridiculous then
when you read Huffington Post, the absence of white athletes
kneeling from the anthem Sunday was a particularly illustrative
moment in white privilege. Yes, title of this article is white
athletes still standing for the anthem are standing for white
supremacy. Come on. Wow. Huffington Post HuffPo. Well,
I went into it's no different
than Taylor Swift. It's the same thing. They have to do it
otherwise they get excoriated?
Well, yeah, that happened to the Ben Roethlisberger the
quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers as he refuses to take
part in his nonsense and what happened to him? Well, he's
always people think he's a dead or back. Everybody loves the
guy. I can't say anything bad about him. But he is a dick,
apparently. Here's a quote. Here's a clip from a CNN lady on
Don Lemon
at CNN lady. Nice.
So I don't I don't I don't know who it was. But she is. She's
going on? I don't think you can. But she's going on and on about
white supremacy. Donald Trump being a racist. And I just
thought to her definition of white supremacy was quite
fascinating.
Not only is Donald Trump a white sympathizer, I think he
identifies with this notion of white supremacy, this notion of
preservation of white culture. And does that make him a white
supremacist? Yeah. Does that essentially make him a racist? I
absolutely believe so. And I've been hesitant to say that
because I think words matter words are really important. And
I don't like to throw the word racist around. I don't like to
throw lots of different kinds of words like that around and so
today I'm at the point much like the guests you just had that the
President United States is a racist, and we have put a white
supremacist in the White House Wow,
what is that?
I like it, but what is it? I don't know what's at the end of
your clip. I have no idea. This is fantastic. You should put
that every clip I
wish I knew now. Anyway, so here's the here's the gear,
which is what she said. I heard that is pretty funny. I have to
go back and read because that should have been cut sooner. So
I don't know how that got in there. She says the notion
notion it's not anything that actually exists. Greek culture
never existed Romans edge is a notion just the notion of the
preservation of white culture. Yeah, but you know, she just
suggested Supreme is just that
I heard just the notion. Yeah.
So will there so you can't have white coat whatever she's caught
whatever she thinks white culture is without being erased.
Could be a lot of different things Denny's.
John, when are you just gonna face it? you're white, you're
racist, done. to I guess is what you're leading. When you when I
when I was growing up. If someone called you a racist,
man, that was a big deal. That was just unbelievable. And this
constant, changing of meanings of words, especially with this,
CNN lady just said, is disturbing.
It's disturbing and you'd think Don Lemon or somebody would call
her out now. Last night on lamb is the host. He should have
called her out. You just go on go, huh?
You can't do that. He's the he's the ultimate in virtue
signaling. He can't say anything. If it's not part of
the narrative. He'll get slaughtered. Last night on CNN,
Anderson Cooper hosted a like an hour long kind of townhall thing
about NFL and taking a knee and, you know, respecting the flag.
And Spike Lee was in conversation. Well, actually a
good question. He was he was there on a panel. Of course, we
need Spike Lee, some Gold Star parents challenged him about
kneeling. Athletes kneeling during the national anthem. And
I thought it was an interesting little dialogue. How do
you support these multimillionaires on their knees
and don't support what the fallen heroes died for?
Sir, I'm very sorry for the loss. But the narrative that you
spoke about is not true. All these places said many, many
times that they respect the armed forces. They respect the
flag. And they respect America and his narrative that when they
take a knee is insulting your your son's mother here is not
true. They've said that again and again and again. But there's
a lot of people who you know, look at this as disrespectful.
When you see a lot of people thought that what in six, eight
Olympics, there's one wearing this shirt, John Carlos and
Tommie Smith, when they won the Olympics, they put the black
fist up like if you felt that was
scuze. me I'll have one other question. Yep. One North Korea
aims a nuclear missile at us. Are these heroes that you say
NFL, that can't support our flag? Are they going to be on
their knees when this happens? Or are they going to support our
veterans?
Sir, I'm worried just because Donald Trump is that crazy guy
in North Korea? He and he has a nuclear code. I'm worried about
that. Well, we're working together. Very,
right. That was very weak, Mr. Lee, very weak. This is by the
way, I don't hear all this that he said. I don't hear them.
Because they're not saying anything. They're just taking
the knee with everybody else.
No, I haven't. I'm sure there's one or two but I have not seen
any players say anything about it. But the White House press
corps is using it to stir stir up shit.
believe that there are very fine people who kneel yesterday
watching those games.
I mean, that's a deep question.
That is a dick question. No, man. That is a very Dick way
that is. I have to say though, amongst the press corps if you
were there, I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it. Oh.
Good. Was Luis Did you say Luis? No, no, I
just said that. I like it. But it's like a Louise. Louise.
was pretty funny. Yeah. All right. We move on to Russia.
Well, before that maybe we should do at least a short
tribute to Hugh Hefner just dropped dead.
Yeah. In 91. Yeah.
I did the unanswered questions about this about natural causes,
but I'm wondering whether he died in the saddle. A chair I'm
sure was his goal.
That is that would be the goal to have that be the story.
And yes, well, I've got that kind of a story centric
mentality is dying. In other words, did he die in the saddle
a which has not been answered? We have I have a little thing
from CBS here about him being dead. It was on the morning
show. And and if he died in the saddle, who killed him?
Sex Ed is best is one of the most humanizing forces on the
planet,
Hugh Hefner spent his life bringing sex into the American
mainstream tonight, the Playboy philosophy at a time when
sexuality and speaking about it publicly are going with taboo we
are going
through a period of moral transition related to sex and we
will not be going back to we will not be going back to the
old concepts,
Hefner ushered in a whole new set of concepts, launching
Playboy magazine and only 27 years old in 1953. With Marilyn
Monroe gracing its first cover,
isn't that really? What you're selling kind of the high class
dirty book?
No, I don't think so. The whole idea behind Playboy was to try
to put sex back into the total fabric of the interests of a man
No, that's their whole bit. That's what they had.
No, they had a long bid and somehow I botched it till they
didn't get you know,
we could actually do this. We could create a site or something
and write an article about how he died in this saddle get some
stock photo of a hot babe and this is the one we'll call her
Louise. And, you know, launch it, see what happens. We'll do
it. Do it for half.
Do it for half. Yeah. Well, he was a pioneer in a lot of ways.
And he was very interesting here. There used to be the show
called to the to Peter's or somebody forgot the name. It was
on some AMC or it was a very early in the morning and had
Peter Guber, and this other guy Peter Barr, who was a writer,
and they were talking about the movies and they bring these guys
in and have this very intellectualized discussion. And
Haftar was one of the most interesting guys they ever
brought on, because he just, he had intellectualized his entire
business to such an extreme that he had a very interesting vision
of why the magazine was doing well, for a while, then not a
then not, and then how things have changed. And he just had to
hold structure of things. And again, he was completely alien
personality to what you see when he was performing as either the
host of that stupid TV show he had or when he was with the the
reality show, next door, whatever it's called. Yeah. And
it was like a different person. And I found it very fascinating
he was he was very thoughtful about what he was doing that
none of this was not well thought out.
I would recommend that we've talked about it not too long
ago, but I'd recommend looking at the documentary, which is I
think of eight or nine series. For sure, it's an Amazon and
off, it's on Netflix, but it's very good. When you see what he
did for the publishing world did a lot of firsts. A lot of big
first particularly it comes to working with women working with
colored people, as it says in the documentary. He did quite a
lot. Yes. Which I don't think he gets proper credit for.
He big I think he gets a lot of credit in the business. Yeah,
sure. The public I don't I don't think he cares what the public
thinks. I think the like the image of you know, screwing
everything that with two legs. I don't think that was he thought
it'd help sell magazines. And as far as he's concerned, and I
will say in the 70s when the thing when Playboy was at its
peak in the magazine was huge. It was hugely successful and
extremely. It was I don't know how many pages but a large
number of pages. It did have articles that you'd read. Yeah.
I remember when in the Dutch Playboy I was I was the the
Playboy interview. It was a big deal.
Wow. Yeah, I
wouldn't Playboy interview. Yeah, yeah, it was a huge deal.
And get all those cool photos in black and white. If you're
looking pensive. Looking off to the side, like you're telling
me Hey, what did you have to say?
I can't remember.
I can't remember what you said, you know, the MTV is just
getting started. And I was before that it was gonna be
music videos are going to be the main way people take in music in
the future.
I said there's no evidence people will want these music
videos. That's what I said.
Yes, we all the time.
The algorithm, the algorithm,
new jingle, the Jeff Smith.
It's that's very slick. Yeah. Now the reason
I played the jingle is because I want to bring up Russia. And the
Russian ads, which you have more information on the Naidu about
the actual ads themselves. But to recap, this is getting very
deep now that Facebook allowed the Russians, the Russians, when
I'm saying just the Russians to meddle in the American
elections. Now, of course, he did prove that there was
collusion with Americans. And we know for sure, we've seen what
we think are these ads that pretty tame, but it's great to
listen to Adam Schiff, Democratic congressman from
California, as he talks about these Russian ads, but he's
taking it further and the crap is about to hit the fan for for
Silicon Valley.
They're providing us with all of the commercials that Russia used
on his platform. But I think what's important for people to
know is there are a couple real significant issues here. One is
of course, the paid advertising which was designed not only to
help Donald Trump or hurt Hillary Clinton, but more
fundamentally to divide Americans to pit one American
against another it's a very by the
way did he say to help Trump or Hillary Clinton? Just listen out
again, everything
which was designed not only to help Donald Trump or hurt
Hillary Clinton, but
maybe hurt yeah,
I didn't hear more fundamentally to divide Americans to pit one
American against another that's a very divisive issues. It's the
kind of cynical campaign you would expect of having a KGB
operative running a country.
Love that keys, a KGB operative of which the KGB hasn't existed
for how many what a decade today. Okay,
it's no longer that thing. They were dissolved in 93.
Yes. Okay. But that's what you'd expect from a former from not
even former. And let's just say a KGB agent. That's
great kind of cynical campaign, you would expect of having a KGB
operative running a country.
This is, by the way, this is Adam Schiff, this guy is on the
Intelligence Committee, he knows there's no KGB,
he should know.
Well, maybe doesn't the guy is that guy is should be arrested?
Well, we're waiting to hear the rest.
There's a lot we don't know yet about it. I think we know only
the minimum of the advertising. And of course, advertising was
only one method the Russians used on social media. And this
was only one platform. But there's also an issue about the
use of Facebook's algorithms and the way it tends to potentially
reinforce people's informational bias. And this probably goes
well beyond Russia. But in one example for if you were looking
or interested in an article about Hillary Clinton's health,
would the Facebook algorithms result in you're seeing a lot
more stories about Hillary Clinton's health and reinforce a
misperception or inaccurate information? That is a far
broader issue than Russia, but one that we really need to know
a lot more about?
And that's a Facebook problem, not a Russia problem. I mean,
that's the problem with their algorithm that keeps us all
siloed in certain narrow areas. So yes,
that that there's certainly a Russian implication because they
use these algorithms to amplify misinformation or
slanted, like the Russians are tweaking Facebook's algos. This
is great information.
But it's far broader. And we have to ask, is this in our
society's interest to create these informational silos?
What's the
impact of these Russian Facebook ads? I mean, I mean, is anybody
saying that they had any influence on the election that
changed the outcome in any possible way, it seems a small
amount to have done anything like that. Well, for
that small amount is only what Facebook has thus far confirmed
directly out of Russia. They have acknowledged that they
haven't looked or analyzed or completed a report yet on
advertising Russia may have done through third countries. So
Russia will use proxies in the caucuses are other parts that
can potentially buy ads or amplify misinformation amplify,
of course, this is just one platform the Russians were
using. This has nothing to do with the Russian use of bots on
Twitter. So the full extent of Russian use of social media, was
it in any way decisive determinative? Hard to say
because we really have so little information thus far about the
extent
transparency of the algos is coming Silicon Valley
get ready for gets me about all this. Now he's bitching about
out here interested in Hillary's hell, you're gonna get a lot of
stories about it? Wasn't this the goal? Isn't this the stated
goal? Yeah, you're gonna get what you're interested in. This
is why you're, you're on the some of these platforms because
you don't care about anything but certain things. And that's
what you want to get as your as your information and news feed.
Yes. This was like the promises the Holy Grail of computing. And
then of course, the adjunct to that would be targeted
advertising, because you're only going to get ads that you really
would kind of which have something really doesn't work
very well, yet. None of it works. And B says doll beside
the point. But is it why are we now bitching, though, about the
Holy Grail? This is what everyone wants? They say. So now
it's not good? No, because if you wanna if your all you want
to care about is Hillary's health. You get Oh, my God, all
you'd get would be stuff about Hillary's health. Yeah, because
that's what you want. So why is he complaining about it?
He has to complain about something. And he has to sound
like he's a techno expert, which he's clearly not. I'm surprised
he didn't use the term IPS is I was waiting for that. Was he the
one that did that? No, no, he didn't do that. But it's still
it's still fun. Still cracks me up. Yeah. So when these ads, I
mean, so the Congress has them, I guess. And they're, you know,
everyone's I'm predicting to you, they will not make these
public. They've leaked, and all that doesn't matter. If they
really make them public. People go. What's the harm in this?
Well, also, they think there's a this is the same with the
artificial intelligence fad that took place between 1980 and
1986. Which was the same this is a fifth generation project or
the fourth generation project out of Japan. Is when Japan was
going to kill us just because they were so superior. When was
this? That was the end of it.
That's right. Remember that Japan? They're gonna take over.
We were afraid of them.
Oh, we should do we should do our manufacturing the way the
Japanese do it with teams. Yes. And there's all these kinds of
all these keiretsu
and I'm telling you, correct suit
rats. And whatever the Japanese did was what we should do. And
there was all this. This is a panic in the 80s. And one of the
panic, I think a panic. earmark was these artificial
intelligence nuttiness that took place, which died because none
of it worked, couldn't be shown to work and it was just a
disaster and wasted a lot of money and time. And now we're
going through the whole thing again. And I think what happens
if they reveal the algos experts are going to look at him and go,
Oh my God, was this written by a fifth grader? This is idiotic.
There's nothing to this. That's the problem. They're
not going to make them public. It will be too dangerous.
It would be they would be completely ridiculed. If they
did well. That's why these things don't work.
Well, we need to we need to demand to see them. We hit
that's the demand I have.
Well, you make you keep the keep it up because it's never gonna
happen. You were right. There we're gonna happen. All right.
Sorry.
No, it's okay. I did. I didn't have much more to say about
that. I do have one more algo story if you're interested.
I'm more interested in the jingle.
Okay, we can do that for sure. The algo
you know the story about Amazon recommending bomb material?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, as a good one. It all seems to me to be a
publicity for Amazon.
Yeah, well, I don't know. I don't know if it's probably is
publicity from Amazon. But channel four in the UK really
did a deep dive into it. And it turns out this is really based
upon people shopping for different things in their
kitchen for cooking, etc. And that's, um, that's why these pop
up. It's there's a whole article about it that I put in the show
notes. It's pretty interesting to read. And then you know, so
they were able to they think reverse engineer and say this is
absolutely bullcrap that's had nothing to do with bomb making.
Now it makes sense. Yeah. I can I can buy that. Yeah, that I
still that's interesting that those stories just just go away
and Amazon's he's in trouble in general, I think.
How's this work?
They said the stock is down. People are talking about the
turbines. Well, I think somebody took a look and said, Hey, wait
a minute. These guys own a grocery store chain. There's no
that's the worst business in the world. And I'm
telling you Whole Foods has changed it's no longer the same.
I'd been
I checked this out because I've been hearing Oh, this shelves
are empty and all this other stuff. I seen I went to Whole
Foods recently a couple times actually since that change. And
most recently
I don't see it I was like the same place to me. What are you
seeing different than what you're seeing that I'm not
seeing? I
was just saying that I don't actually see anything different.
I don't shop at Whole Foods that often. John, you
might now they're pretty expensive. If they get too much
now. Those days are over.
So it's gonna gonna be cheaper. That's interesting.
I think it's competitive with any of the other mid price mid
range stores. I'm noticeably you notice it. I'll take a look.
Elon? Yeah,
Elon Musk is warning us once again for the algos. The algos
certainly be a lot of job disruption. Because what's gonna
happen is right, well, it's more
about AI but it's the same as algos in my book, same thing,
certainly a lot of job disruption. Because what's gonna
happen is robots will be able to do everything better than us.
I'm kidding. I mean, all of us is like something like 12% of
jobs are transport. Transport will be one of the first things
to go fully autonomous. But when I say everything, like the
robots will be able to do everything, I have exposure to
the very most cutting edge AI and I think people should be
really concerned about it. I keep started sounding the alarm
bell, but you know, until people see like robots going down the
street killing people like they don't know how to react. Seems
so theory, AI is a rare case where I think we need to be
proactive in regulation instead of reactive. Because I think by
the time we're reactive in AI regulation, it's too late AI is
a fundamental existential risk for human civilization. And I
don't think people fully appreciate that
be Cadila
I have access to cutting edge
I tell ya what, Adam, Adam and
you barely ever say my name.
I know I say it again. I
like it Say my name,
Adam. You know, Adam? Yes, John, chill these, these damn robots
are walking up and down the street shooting people. We
weren't we're not going to pay much attention. But so these
robots Adam will be shooting people in the streets. Yeah,
then we're gonna we're gonna start paying attention because
until then they won't no one will care. No one cares, even
though I know I got access to stuff that nobody else has
access. Because I'm Elon. People. And so people don't
realize what's going on. I know.
Yeah, he's he has cutting edge access and our mind have access
to cutting remind everybody that the the father of the
backpropagation algorithm, which is the foundation of all AI has
himself said, we need to start over we need some form of master
algorithm that is the decision making nucleus of a full algo.
And I'm really paraphrasing what he said. Because, yes, it just
does not. He said, We won't get where we want to be. And you and
I know that it's not as long as I'm still getting ads for
something I just bought AI is cracked. But what's interesting,
if you look at cutting edge, that's very cutting edge. If you
look at the stock market, oh my god, there's this company very
VRI. Who this was a really great someone, they they came out with
some AI technology that public you know, penny stock, this
thing rockets from under $1 to $50. So now everybody's looking
for one of those, you know, this s rash they are and SSC and all
these other companies. But what was funny is yesterday, I think
it's a like an analyst house called Orion. And they sent out
a tweet, a tweet that said, yeah, that very AI is you know,
pretty much dumb and doesn't work. Boom from 50 to 20. It's
fantastic. People are going nuts over anything AI. And it's
completely based on nothing air.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Okay. So this new Star Trek came out.
Really? Yeah, they might care less about Star Trek than I do
about Star Trek Discovery.
But their original name is actually a lot of people don't
realize this. But the original name was Star Trek, black lives
matter. No. Yeah, that was definitely the original name.
How did you how did you come to this knowledge by watching it.
And it's about the main character is not the captain or
any but the main character is number one. And she is a black
girl, a young black girl who is who does nothing but the grouse.
And she also reminds me if you see any Black Lives Matter
meeting where there's always some young black girl who's kind
of takes control of everything. This is what this girl is. And
she's the one black woman on the cast is everybody else's mixed
race. And you see very few whites except there's this one
tall gay alien.
Of course it is one gay alien as white makes nothing but he's
kind of white but he's got all kinds of features that are not
white because his nostrils are on his cheeks and it's just it's
actually pretty gross looking and I don't know how he even got
into the onto the ships He's too tall. But the whole thing I got
some dialogue here because we have a captain is a Chinese
woman who reminds Anyone who remembers the Oh, Friday shows
Miss Swan very much the captain and I get to play one of these
two clips randomly message this message. Captain what is their
calling for the same thing we our backup
always says to the maximum salary. If more claimants are on
the way I want as much notice as possible. Permission to leverage
captain. Are you kidding? It's irrelevant
when it stabilizes again, granted
status report deck by deck
No, I know who this is. Oh, you don't know. You don't know who
that is? Who? Oh my god. It's the North Korean lady.
Hey, yeah. Get off
engage.
Yeah, something like that. So here's the here's the other one.
She the Black Lives Matter girl. She comes in and she she goes
and visits with the with the her mentor who is a raw Vulcan and
the Vulcan guy says to her all what we used to always do with
the Clintons is fire on them immediately otherwise they don't
have any respect for you. So she goes running back into the
captain's into the deck main deck and and demands that the
captain's fire on these You don't say we did well we don't
fire on anybody first it's not our style. And she gets all bent
out of shape about it the Black Lives Matter girl and then she
she gets goes into a separate room to have a discussion she
she doesn't beat up the captain but she knocks her silly so
she's down. She runs back end to take over this the ship until it
sells the ship to fire on the Klingons and then the captain
snaps out of it comes in and holds a gun on her. But let's
just play the second derivative would
be logical for you to take into account my success rate during
our seven years together and execute my plan without further
challenge before were dragged into war.
Starfleet goes on fire first. That's all number one. We have
two in my ready room now returning commander you have the
bridge. Yes, Captain
thinks it sounds like it. Now. There is a Star Trek fan fiction
that has been financed by give us money.com or whoever it is.
And they have 10 episodes out and they're all hour long
episodes and it's called Star Trek Continues and it's on
YouTube and you can nowadays you can watch it on your television
if you have a YouTube connection to the TV. It is absolutely 10
times better than this discovery okay that's good that's good and
it's but it's what's funny about it is they've got the original
characters the original set they got the we got a Spock they got
a Captain Kirk they got the doctor they have I think that
guy was an engineer is actually the son of the guy who played
the Scotty and it is at the stories are just like the old
show and it's very it's very nostalgic I thought it was
pretty good. Very well done because especially compared to
the Star Trek Black Lives Matter show which I didn't think was
Black Lives Matter I still have a hard time believing that's
what it was really called your your Josh and me no doubt maybe
maybe not maybe maybe not. Gotcha. All right. Let's see.
Well, maybe just a brief update on specs it as though that
wouldn't be taking place. This Sunday as it this Brexit specs
it Yeah, the spanner was calling it I'm calling it that the specs
it okay this is an actual name Catalonia wants to wants to
leave the one a referendum. The Spanish government says you're
not having a referendum
mount over Catalonia independent threat referendum. Local
authorities are now coalition with Spain central government
over who controls police in the region. Madrid wants the Catalan
police force to be temporarily placed under its command to help
stop the scheduled for October 1. Neither side shows any sign
of backing down but if you're an economy Prime Minister Mariano
La Jolla insists the referendum has been declared illegal and
should not go ahead normal referendum porque meaning there
won't be a referendum because no democracy in the world can
accept to see its constitution. Its law and its national
sovereignty wiped out go ahead with this referendum is
ridiculous and frankly is causing unnecessary tension. The
head of the Catalan regional government catalyst puts them on
remain defiant. Of course, we will vote in doubt. This country
there are policies reminiscent of totalitarian regimes, such as
blocking web pages that are totally legal far from criminal
whose only purpose is to help people know where they can vote.
The political fever has reached universities with hundreds of
students occupying a campus in Barcelona to protest the
government's crackdown. More demonstrations are expected on
Sunday.
I wish I had more information on how exactly they were blocking
these websites where you could get information on where to
vote. Do they have something similar to Turkey where they can
just flip on the firewall and block a couple of domain names?
I have no idea probably that'd be my guess. John Claude.
Juncker the
drinker made a little booboo. little booboo I got a clip a new
story about it because the clips are all in French and German.
But he in essence said yeah, you know the EU will recognize any
country that spawns out of any other country if you're in the
if you're in a member state no problem. People weren't.
European Commission was a good idea alone. Yeah, independence
referendum of the John Claude Juncker appeared to say that he
would support a yes vote. The Commission says what the EU
chief meant to say was that he would support any photo that was
legally sanctioned. The Vice President of the Commission said
As if within the framework of this constitution, new realities
are created in the member states. These new realities will
also be realities for the EU on the basis of these new realities
in Catalonia yesterday, there was a moment of euphoria with
pro independence campaigners, after Juncker was questioned by
youtubers on your news. But he was now insisted that the vote
would have to be sanctioned by the Spanish parliament. And the
Constitutional Court is typical.
You let the guy go do a YouTube interview and then he messes it
up. They need to learn over there. They should keep him off
the air. Definitely. Oh, while we're talking about the EU, I
need to make a correction I said about Denmark. I said that
Andres Brevik was from Denmark. He was of course from Norway.
Yeah, Norway. Yeah, I made mistakes. I want to correct
that.
I guess I'm new to Saudi Arabia. They gonna let women drive and I
got a report. Well, yeah, there goes the traffic. That's what
I'm thinking. And so I've got a report that I have. I have the
alternate ending that seems to have been cut out of the report
shown to the net national. Wow, interesting.
Surprise. Sorry.
Yeah, just driving in Saudi Arabia. CBS
came as a surprise today, Saudi Arabia's King ordered that women
there finally be allowed to do something they do in every other
country on Earth. Dr. Cars, Holly Williams is an Istanbul
tonight, Holly.
For over two decades now a determined group of Saudi
Arabian women have been protesting against the ban on
them driving by illegally taking to the road. Some of them
posting videos of that online. I met with some of those women in
Saudi Arabia in 2014. And they told me that the freedom to
drive was symbolic in a country where they have very few rights.
Saudi Arabia is of course an ultra conservative state, one
Muslim cleric claimed that driving would harm women's
reproductive organs. But things are very gradually changing for
Saudi women. They're now permitted to vote in local
elections. They're allowed to play sport at school, and more
and more of them are going to university. Anthony
Holly Williams, I stumbled on a
big deal. Kid is a big deal. And there was an alternate ending I
found for this report was by Holly and it was I think,
because it was maybe offensive or I don't know why but it was
cut out. I thought it should have been used because it was
very funny.
inside Saudi Arabia though. There's still opposition. One
Muslim cleric recently claimed that women shouldn't try because
many of them only have a quarter of a brain
all right, you got one well deserved. The truth is harsh.
Oh. My goodness. Now why was that? Not in the full report?
That's fantastic. I
don't think I think somebody dies. I think they have editors
at CVS, CIA, and they didn't think it was a good idea.
Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to you John C. C stands for cars driven by
women Devorah back

You've got karma
I'd like the long version since we have a very short donation
segment today
Well I do have a note to read then okay, this is from Thomas
for who was or for a who was did an instant night on nine six
what was the number I donate $1,000 on 916 for Sunday show
episode 965 I did not include a new note for reasons explained
in the email which I sent the following Tuesday. A copy of the
E is one that came in blank we just needed him write a copy of
the emails include this letter going with my accounting and so
on my tile request that's what we've left out so we can put
that in I think as is the beginning at least shared
between yourselves as states my appreciation for you both in the
podcast put forth twice a week we're all gonna die PS I'm
sending this as fear my emails overlooked again so here's the
email which was apparently overlooked again I apologize it
and that this all came in the mail I apologize did not include
a note with my donation lesson they show reason being the
trousers previous donations I had never been able to
successfully attach a note but PayPal all this was baffles me
if anybody can attach a note to the normal links that I put in
the in the newsletter please send me a note including what
computer you're using software and browser just vaguely telling
me it doesn't work doesn't help I mean I've never asked for that
before but now I am because this comes up
too often it's a MailChimp issue I'd take it
no I don't know wouldn't be a MailChimp is you get it the link
goes right to the Pay Pal. Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay,
and then when you go to that link, it says here's your
putting your amount and then when you click yes, it should
jump you to a page dashboard, you can put in a note noted two
got it got endurance, and it taught me how about people some
people seem to be able to put in a you know, a Warren Piece they
can type that in some people can't get two lines in and some
people can't get anything and they never get the note. So I
like to know why
you're want I'm guessing I'm guessing that it's people who do
it on their phone and get a mobile version versus the full
full blown version.
That is one possibility.
I haven't looked at it but I just struck me and just Taiwan
as you have a night name but
here's let me you might be onto something because you get some
forget a bunch of data, you know, a bunch of data and some
people one piece of information is that half of the people
getting the newsletter read it on their phone. So you might be
right let me just finish this note. Also trust me a truth be
told after returning home from the rice versus University
Houston game Saturday night, the bay bucket. I was doing a little
more postgame celebrating than I should. That upgrade is slipping

on Netflix Yeah, I need some relationship karma from my
social life given that now okay, therefore, my slightly altered
state I did not want to attempt to send a note. Send a note
which I knew would only have resulted in me me waking in the
cold sweat wondering shit. Why did I say to those guys? Like
the time I called into the nick the rat show pretending to be
Alex Jones, which seemed to be the right thing to do at the
time. Anyway, I have been a listener since show 530 When,
when a YouTube search for theories behind Michael Hastings
death resulted in cover art that contain the demolish car,
Episode 530 I checked and listen, I was I was hooked. I
too, like so many other listeners grew up watching Mr.
Curry on the M TVs. And after being introduced to the surly
Mr. Devore. Eric wondered how to ever get along without him. I'm
just proud to sit in the tables all the other days and nights
however, I take even more pride in knowing that I'm contributing
to a truly the best podcast in the universe. Thank you
gentlemen, for the insight analysis. And on and on. Sir
Thomas J of the Bayou City, sir and request for karma for
every day
of the Bayou City. Okay, and he'll be a black knight since he
was
10. He was knighted. So he's not a black knight but I think he
needs to be reunited. Okay, or we think we could take a U turn.
And we could say he could be reunited. Hahaha.
We'll just send Knight him. What's at Black Knight on my
prep sheet that Eric has is assuming we didn't need him
already.
Eric needs to take a knee.
Take a knee Eric.
This is the new thing. I'm gonna say hey, take a knee while you
watch people start using it. Take I like it.
I'm like, yeah, like, Oh, you just did I just
hate taking the air.
Is it an insult? Nobody cares. Doesn't
matter. It just sounds funny. And you know, you and I were
talking after the last show. And you know because we're coming
Hang up on our 10th anniversary, which is is that October 26?
Yeah, I believe so. So that that's 10 years we've been doing
the show a large portion of it two shows a week. And
more than half. Yeah, yeah.
I think we both agree that what we've not expected from this
well, first of all, I don't know if we ever even we were not
invested in any outcome as far as I wasn't. So to be doing this
10 years later, is pretty phenomenal. With the support of
the producers, the listeners, the people who actually make it
because they do almost all the work. We just kind of breeze in,
you know, five minutes to show time and just have to read and
talk. It's very easy.
But yes, everyone should do it.
But when people when people get send us emails, and they say you
have changed my life, you have really helped me through dark
times. Especially now, you know, just hearing that you put some
humor into it, you ridicule as much as you can. And it just
kind of brings it Ratchet is ratchet his ratchet things down
for people to use it for you to say, I'm really, and and I think
we both agreed that's really probably the biggest reward
of yes, that actually didn't take place right away. No, no,
no,
it was years before that happened. Well, I
think is only recently, I think, during the last election, as we
were deconstructing more than ever, it's like, if you remember
the old John Stuart show, The Daily Show, he always did his
best work during election cycles. Yeah, because there was
more more material
or material is more material. And if anything, while people
were feeling better about the M five M bullcrap. And hearing
deconstruction after deconstruction, if anything had
hurt us financially, but you know, yeah, but I got a hugely
but the I don't know if we can do 10 more years but badly but I
look forward to a couple more years of this
well, as long as we get the support we need Yeah,
that will that will continue that's the game and it's the
value for value model which means if you get any value out
of this, you send it to us and I can tell you how much it should
be. We have some suggestions you can find that at
VO red.org/and A
and we will be thanking more people in our second segment
later on the show and remember that we do have another program
coming up on Sunday it'll be an interesting day show day when we
have specs that taking place all you need to do is say hey you
know what I got a formula I want to propagate our
formula is this we go out we get people in the mouth
jingles been around sure has its defines the show
amongst many other fine pieces of art yes created created by
the producers of the show.
So let's go to CBS All right and they're gonna start to do this
month they've died they're starting to notice this on CBS
is a really is the station to get your news from
you mean if you want the the official if you want to know
what's going on with what the elites are thinking? Yeah,
I really want to know what's going on. You gotta go to CBS.
So this is another doing this monthly blast of Trump
a monthly blast is doesn't have a Chiron a lower third monthly
let's play it
work has begun on the President's signature campaign
promises the clip monthly
I think so. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think that I'm
sorry.
This is it. Oh, you got to read I got there.
I realize how the wrong
okay. They introduced to this game I got it. I got
sort of autumn has not been kind to the president Dean Reynolds.
Now on the misplays of the week.
misplays.
Last Friday, Mr. Trump
may well have said, so they're taking over and there's like,
hey, let's do some NFL like stuff. We'll call the play and
we'll kind of do is that what they're doing here?
I guess so.
Last Friday, Mr. Trump may well have sensed that a bad stretch
was about to unfold.
And I'll be honest, I might have made a mistake.
Actually backing the loser in the Alabama senatorial primary
wasn't an isolated setback. His decision to pick a fight out of
nowhere with NFL players kneeling in protest during the
national anthem get that
son of a bitch off the field right now out these fires
resulted in more grid iron genuflection on Sunday. It the
President appeared to relish the fight in one of 25 tweets on the
NFL. He wrote booing fans had shown great anger toward the
players. By Monday, five days after Hurricane Maria
obliterated Puerto Rico. He was still tweeting about the NFL,
while insisting it does not occupy animation. I've
heard that before. About was I preoccupied? Not at all, not at
all have plenty of time on my hands. Well,
when he did turn to Puerto Rico, he lamented its old electrical
grid and the billions it owes to Wall Street amid stories of
deprivation. He said the US relief effort was getting great
review.
Everybody has said it's amazing the job that we've done in
Puerto Rico, we're very proud of
it. And this despite difficult geography, emphasis is an
island sitting in the middle of an ocean. And it's a big ocean.
It's a very big oceans. You can't just drive your trucks
there from other states. Then today
after the latest congressional failure to repeal Obamacare, the
President informed the crowd here in Indiana, that repeal
could actually have passed.
We have the votes on Graham Cassidy.
In fact, the repeal effort never had the votes to pass and yet he
tweeted this morning, virtually no president has accomplished
what we have accomplished in the first nine months. But a new
poll out from Quinnipiac University today begs to differ.
It found 57% of voters disapprove of Mr. Trump's
handling of the job 56% Find him unfit to serve. And 51% say they
are embarrassed to have him as president. Anthony Dean
Reynolds. Thank you, Dean.
Yeah.
lopsided?
Yeah, you know, the first thing I would like to point out,
because there's a lot of this, you know, no one showed up.
There's no one here. You hear what the response is. And it's
still logistically not very easy. Here's the thing that I
missed during Irma in Puerto Rico. Yes, John, I'm here in
Puerto Rico.
Looking at hurricane Irma coming through right now. You know why?
Because it's very hard to get there.
No one was there now.
I know, but no one was out then.
No, they weren't. But you think they have local reports? They
could send it but they couldn't. I think they do that. And I
don't know that it's, you know, I thought it was a smart grid in
Puerto Rico.
But didn't look like it from the from the video I saw. And by the
way, nice editing they did there with Trump eyes and fire that
son of a bitch. You know, they edit it completely
out of context. But yeah, everything's out of context.
Yes. Well,
the main thing that bothers me is this is being politicized. As
we speak all over television, I have a compilation. I didn't
make it. But I think this is a great compilation to play. And
it's about the Jones Act,
the Jones Act, what it did was it put into place where only
American made and crude and staffed ships could bring goods
to Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico as a result, as raised the prices
that we can suspend the Jones Act so that when you look at the
deporting
strict restrictions on Puerto Ricans combined and which was
already done for Ermac, the Jones Act can be
revoked the Jones Act, let's lift it and you know, something,
Chris, it can't be for a couple of weeks and suspend the Jones
Act permanently.
The people of Puerto Rico need supplemental funding. Not next
week. Today. That y'all Zack must be way he has been asking
for an exemption. A waiver for the Jones Act
with the President needs to do is tell Congress to lift the
Jones Act waiving the Jones Act would free up the ability to get
five more,
there is a law, the Jones Act, should it be lifted to give
Puerto Rico more options for importing what it needs at this
desperate time.
Now, I was very puzzled by this. The Jones Act, established in
1920, was intended to promote shipping by us owned and
operated vessels only. Now that has some unintended
consequences. Of course, it's very expensive to ship things
from the US mainland to Puerto Rico. I think it is at least
that's that's what they're saying. I don't see why would
make any difference. If it's hard to get there. If it's hard
to do things. Why do we have to have Why do we have to change
this? Whatever it may be? It may be a horrible
law. Well, the Jones Act is, I think is I think there's even an
extension of it, which applies to air carriers, which make it
so you cannot fly Cathay Pacific from San Francisco to New York,
even though Cathay Pacific may be going from San Francisco to
New York, to London, and you can go from San Francisco to London
on Cathay Pacific. But you can't go to even though it stops in
New York, you can't get off because they don't want our air
carriers competing with quality air characters like Cathay
Pacific. And the Jones Act says that you can't have Have
shippers go from port to port that are that are, you know,
from wherever outside the country. They can go from China
to San Francisco but they can't go from San Francisco to Los
Angeles, moving goods from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a
foreign carrier. I don't see what the big deal is no, but I
do have I agree with you. But to drop the Jones act as I don't
know what the point is. And here's what gets me. Your
befuddlement is, seems to be almost on purpose by the by the
media. I want to play my clip. And I'm going to as an editor, I
would refuse to push this clip. This is an ABC clip discussing
the Jones Act and you'll see what my problem is when you play
a
seat on one of the few flights out
and Eva pilgrim back with us live again tonight from Puerto
Rico Eva, some members of Congress are now asking Homeland
Security to waive what's called the Jones Act, which forbids
foreign ships from transporting goods from one point to another
in the US.
That's right, David for hurricanes Harvey and Irma. a
waiver of that act was granted the President says he's
considering the same for hurricane Maria, but that a lot
of shippers and people who work in the shipping industry don't
want it. Wait. The President is planning to visit Puerto Rico on
Tuesday. David David Pilgrim in our team in Puerto Rico tonight,
Eva, thank you. Okay.
Okay, here's the my problem that the just the basic journalistic
what, when, where, why kind of thing. She says that a lot of
shippers don't want it waived. The question that comes
immediately to mind is why exactly why can you tell us why
yes. And that's what Murer should have asked her? No, they
don't tell us anything. They just say a bunch of shippers
don't want it. Wait.
They're assholes. white nationalists. I'm telling you
the horror that bigoted racist.
What kind of report is this? This is the kind of crappy
report we get from these networks. Because there's
somebody at the editorial level that doesn't have the sense to
say can you explain that why just a couple of sentences it's
not gonna take forever right? No, no, just drop it boom. Yeah,
this time people don't want it boom, we're done. I was very
annoyed by that report.
I can tell ya, if I if I clipped everything that annoys me and we
just beat we wouldn't have enjoyed all the time. Yeah, we
just have three hours to sleep and rest twice a week and the
rest of the week just be show.
Yes. Well, we're on it. Then. Since I'm annoyed I managed to
get it out of the way. I have another four report. I have a
poor report and then I'm really bad ISO on ABS does ABC again.
It seems to be your favorite irksome network.
This is the poor report by ABC on secured borders.
Tonight here ABC News obtaining some of those ads bought on
Facebook by Russian agents, Facebook admitting they were
paid more than $100,000 by Russian companies during the
election. Today you're gonna see the ads for yourself and were
the Russians added again just within the last week during the
debate over the NFL ABCs chief investigative correspondent
Brian Ross with what those ads said.
Tonight ABC News has obtained some of the posts and ads
congressional investigators say the Russians planted on Facebook
as part of the Kremlin effort to help get Donald Trump elected.
Americans would have no idea what they were reading was
written by the Russians. They rail against illegal immigrants.
This one warns against so called refugees jeopardizing our
national security. This ad uses a popular cartoon. Dora the
Explorer knows how easy it is to cross the US border. It's like a
children's game. With this line. We need to stop this badness we
need trump the ads mostly come from a group called secured
borders that congressional investigators say there is no
such group that they were in fact created by Russian
companies, which paid more than $100,000 to Facebook to post
them during and after the election.
Their goal was to spread dissension was to split our
country apart. And they did a pretty good job.
Many of the ads investigators say came from an operation in
St. Petersburg, Russia in this building where a young Russians
are hired to send out fake news the former employee says she
took the advantage
of we need people to send out fake news of this
undercover videos
you stop. Yes, I just noticed. That was that was Warner one of
the guys and one of the committee one of the
intelligence committees so it sounded like morale, but it
wasn't Ah, that's why I wanted to stop just because I just
realized that the mill you see, yes, it will sound
Yes. Mike Morel deputy and he was before he retired acting
director of CIA. Yeah. So they so we have some On down just
like me I gotta roll that back now let
me listen to the cause he is in the in the spook million Emilio
this book milieu. Oh, that's
a good tell, isn't it?
I think so.
Say came from an operation in St. Petersburg Russia in this
building where a young Russians are harmed
by thing have to go back further to get him somewhere here was to
split our country apart. And
they did a pretty good job for us. Many of the ads
investigators say came from an operation in St. Petersburg,
Russia in this building, where a young Russians are hired to send
out fake news. A former employee says she took this undercover
video inside when she worked there in 2015, hoping to expose
the operation or the so called trolls worked 12 hour shifts.
former employee who had built a soft shell told ABC News
Facebook was one of their main platforms. According to
investigators, the ad showed their slant pro Trump anti
Clinton their targets voters in specific areas of key swing
states,
how do they have that level of specificity? That's one of the
questions we need to answer.
That is the question tonight, Brian with us who helped the
Russians target those ads to particular swing state swing
voters that were so important in this election. And today there
was one Republican senator who even said there's a possibility
that the Russians are still at this even weighing in during the
NFL debate in recent days. Yesterday that
on Capitol Hill today, Senator James Lankford, a member of the
Senate Intelligence Committee, says Russian trolls have been
busy tweeting on both sides of the issue, trying to raise the
noise level he said and push divisiveness in the country.
That by the way, this morning, President Trump tweeted that he
considers Facebook to be anti Trump.
Wow, do these people believe what they're saying? I guess
they do. Chris, they
do. Now this one thing you said.
And even if it's true, so there's no one there's Americans
who are much better than the Russians at trying trying to
change people's minds online.
I would say that's true. And he said this thing he said there's
one line in there. We need Trump that was not in the ad. CA We
need Trump there was no mention of Trump and really, yeah, that
was in it. Somebody that's nasty prefaced the ad with typical
that was like somebody wrote that in but it wasn't in the ad.
And because there's nothing about Trump in any of the ads,
which makes me think that these none of these ads are illegal by
any means. Because there's no they're never promoting Trump.
They're just promoting issues. Now the another poor aspect of
this was Muir's read mirror reason you didn't notice it but
I did. Mirror reads when he brings the correspondent in to
sit there because he likes to do this bit where he's sitting at
the table with the guy and that guy has a few last things to say
and it seems so important. Listen to this ISO where he
unknowingly he really does a bad read and unknowingly blames the
guy for the Russian ads kind of listen to this
Brian with us who helped the Russians target those ads to
particular swing states swing voters that were so important in
this election.
Women were here to get me here Ryan.
Ryan with us who helped the Russians target those ads to
particular swing states swing voters that were so important in
this election
you did that man. We got him.
Brian is with us who helped the Russians we got apparently Brian
Ross helped the Russians. So So Muir, Miss read the line on the
off the prompter, because it should have been Brian's here
with us, Brian, who helped or you know, something, anything
but he ran through it hurriedly, much like Amy Goodman does on
Democracy Now where she runs stories together. And you ended
up with this kind of botch it even though it's like nothing
anybody catches I caught it. I think subconsciously it sounds
as though Brian's the bad dude
may not be far from the truth. He helped the Russians. Well,
who? Well, I would say that the mainstream media was very
complicit in trying to change people's minds in the election.
Maybe that's why they're so hell bent on blaming Facebook. If
anyone really goes in and looks what was done, and history may
tell. You know,
yeah. All right. Well, the
clip that I misfired before that was the wall. I want to hear
that one.
Yeah, this is a CBS report on the wall and which is gonna get
built somehow, but they're now they're doing prototypes, and
they're bitching about debt. Isn't that just kind of CBS
moaning and groaning about Trump in some sort of way or other?
Interestingly, now, for some reason, I can't Oh, here it is.
I couldn't find it again.
Work has begun on the President's signature. campaign
promise a border wall with Mexico. US taxpayers are funding
it. Maria via rial checked it out.
Along the dusty roads between the San Diego Tijuana border.
Contractors are racing to build their versions of what Trump's
border wall will look like. The winner potentially taking home
two federal contracts totaling $600 million. The prototypes
will be between 18 and 30 feet high and stretching 30 feet
long, contractors will have a month to build them. Each
version could cost up to $500,000. Less than a few miles
away from the construction side. We saw a man trying to outrun
Border Patrol agents after illegally jumping the fence. But
giving it an IKEA is also news. Juan Gomez says he crossed
illegally from Mexico to find a better future for his family in
the United States. Carlos Diaz is with the Department of
Homeland Security.
Our objective is to give the Border Patrol here securing the
borders, the best tools available for them to be able to
secure the border.
So what we have right now isn't good enough anymore. Well,
we're always looking to evolve. But by the way, the wall is
happening, folks. Okay.
So far, President Trump has asked Congress for $1.6 billion.
It's unfortunate that the President is misleading the
American public, Christian Ramita
is represents more than 60 human rights organizations along the
border that oppose the wall,
a border wall has not made it safe here, joists are still
being are still being pushed into this country, through
tunnels and through the ports of entry. Wow, we're spending
millions of dollars in building prototypes.
Experts estimate President Trump's bigger border security
plan which could include the border wall could cost upwards
of $40 billion. Anthony
VRL. Thanks.
You know, this guy says this guy came out and made some
commentary at the end. He says he represents 60 human rights
organizations along the border. Yeah. What can't they
consolidate? Well,
I'm sure they receive funding from similar places. Now, that's
the model, you know, you have your big Foundation, and then
you hand off, but anywhere from $200,000 to $2 million a year to
all these small organizations and you coordinated and works
really well. That's that is the Soros model. I don't know if
he's behind this, but that is the Soros model. I haven't
looked into it. So I don't want to say for sure, but there is
some border talk in the EU now as well. With some change in the
rules, you know, there's still a big crisis going on, what should
we do, but we you know, we had the open borders, no borders, no
nations. You know, how are we going to begin to deal with this
EU
says countries in his passport free travel area should be able
to bring back border controls, but only in the event of
persistent security threats. And for no longer than three years.
European Commission says the proposal should only be used as
a last resort the EU migration Commissioner
with our proposal today, we strengthen and preserve a
coordinated approach to the process of reintroducing
internal border controls. In exceptional cases. This approach
allows us to prevent abuses and make sure that everyone plays by
the rules
for ice terror attacks and the 2015 migrant crisis. Members of
the 26 countries Schengen travel area can be introduced checks
now, the current limit is six months that can be extended to
two years in exceptional circumstances.
Key word is exceptional, exceptional circumstances and I
want to know what those were I you know, I read the Lisbon
Treaty. I'm always interested in reading any legislation,
certainly from the EU because they make it pretty easy to
understand. And if you look at article 20 While if you look at
the entire Schengen Agreement, the word exceptional appears 11
times but nine of those 11 times is to relax external external
borders listen to this. So if you're coming into the EU, from
my if I were coming in from from Austin, external external border
I crossed into the Netherlands or London border checks that
external borders may be relaxed as a result of exceptional and
unforeseen circumstances. Such exceptional and unforeseen
circumstances shall be deemed to be those were unforeseeable
events lead to traffic as such intensity that the waiting time
at the border crossing point becomes excessive and all
resources have been exhausted as regard staff facilities and
organization. So then you can they don't have to like okay,
just go on in.
I don't think people realize this If I didn't realize it
until right now, now I will
read article 23, which is the temporary reintroduction of
border control at internal borders. I also did not know
this existed where there was a serious threat to public policy
or internal security a member state may exceptionally
reintroduced border control as its internal borders for limited
period of no more than 30 days for the foreseeable duration of
the serious threat if its duration exceeds the period of
30 days in accordance with the procedure laid down in article
24, or an urgent cases laid down in article 25. The scope and
duration of the temporary reintroduction of border control
internal borders should not exceed what is strictly
necessary to respond to the serious threat. So it's only 30
days, and now they're asking for six months. And that means
internal borders go back up everywhere. That blows though I
mean, that really blows out of the water, you get six months,
people start to forget it. Like maybe we should just renew that
quietly. Maybe that's very interesting. This is the core
This is the core of the European Union experience is being is
being ripped apart, drive right down the street right into
Belgium and the and the pro EU nation No, no, no borders,
people, they should really be talking about it. And they
should also be very happy with how we're going to screw high
tech American high tech companies out of wanting to be
in the EU at all.
They plan to harmonize taxes for digital companies will be on the
table this weekend. When EU finance ministers meet in the
Estonian capital, Tallinn, France is leading the reform
with the so called equalization tax, and has companies such as
Amazon in its crosshairs. And
I'm confident that at the end of our meeting on Saturday, we will
have the support of many other member states, which will share
our initiative for the sake of the improvement of the tax
framework all over Europe.
The proposal has the support of the Germans, Spanish and the
Italians Aha. But the trick is to get low tax members such as
Luxembourg on board
and the Netherlands and Ireland.
Fortunately, the discussion that they're looking at now is only
for a very limited number of corporations. Which means that
for the most part, we have the problem that we also had
yesterday, even if they agree. But the other thing is that it's
going to be very hard for them to agree on this. Because there
are several EU member states that actually fight back when
there's attempts to try and make multinational corporations pay
tax.
Earlier this year, the EU ordered Apple to pay 13 billion
in back taxes after Ireland was accused of giving the
corporation preferential treatment.
When we talk about the big global digital companies, the
apples, the Amazons, the Microsoft,
I really don't like it when people do that. I mean, we say
it as a joke. When they say the Amazons, the apples, the
Microsoft's there's only five companies total you need to name
do you have to pretend like there's millions of them?
The Amazon? I mean, we say it as a joke. What's the other Amazon?
Well, we say it as a joke. But these guys are saying seriously,
it's just as lame.
But they're also adding the plural. We never say the Amazons
I do. Well, okay, well, you don't say the Google? Well,
maybe I said all the time. Remember what I said. But this
is put it this way, maybe they're implying that there are
groups of these companies that are being taxed when there's
not, maybe Amazon thereafter is Google thereafter is Apple
thereafter. And thereafter
the countries but mainly the Netherlands and Ireland that
have the Dutch reach around whatever it's called, the double
loop up your butt, where you get to shelter all of your profits
and pay no taxes. Maybe this guy's just a listener
until treatment, when we talk about the big global digital
companies, the apples, the Amazons, the Microsoft, their US
based companies. So we know it's a challenge in Europe to have
more of those global players that have let's say, a European
Foundation. So we need to do we need to do more to develop them.
And we need to save making sure that we have the right tax
system, generally but but in particular, for the digital
companies. That's part of that story.
According to the FT the French are set to be pushing for a
turnover tax to be set at somewhere between two and 5% of
revenue.
That's gonna go over well, that's a gouge that's not gonna
happen. It'd be cheaper to repatriate their money under the
proposed Trump tax plan.
Well, if Trump gets it through, there's a lot of resistance for
some reason. I don't know why it seems pretty because it's
trustable because it's Trump. Yeah, it's just Trump. I do have
a report though. Oh, good. This is another example.
I did read his proposal. I mean, it's not that I want you
to tell it talk about it after we play this. But first, I want
to see if you can spot the little the little needle, that
ABC likes to give him a little Neil needling. I want to it's
gonna be very hard to spot. But I think you might be able to do
it okay,
but still unanswered tonight, how will he pay for it, and even
some Republicans this evening saying this will be even more
challenging and their efforts to kill Obamacare ABCs chief White
House correspondent Jonathan Karl leading us off.
After failing yet again to get a Republican health care plan
through Congress. President Trump is now promising to
deliver on something even more ambitious, a massive new tax
cut.
There's never been tax cuts like what we're talking about.
Details are still sketchy, but the plan calls for slashing the
tax on corporations now 35% to 20%. For individuals and
families, reducing the number of tax brackets from seven to just
three, doubling the standard deduction for families. That
would mean no income tax whatsoever on the first $24,000
of income. The President insists his plan will benefit the
working class and not the wealthy elite, they
can call me all they want. It's not going to help. I'm doing the
right thing. And it's not good for me, believe me,
of course, it's impossible to know how any plan will affect
the president, because he still has not released his tax
returns. But there's one big provision that would clearly
benefit the wealthy. He wants to eliminate the estate tax,
something that is only paid on estates valued at more than $5.5
million for individuals $11 million for couples while
Congress will surely make changes in the plan. The
President insists there's one thing he won't budge on that
huge tax cut for corporations.
What is my number? So I'm not negotiating that. Number one, he
is a perfect.
The President doesn't explain how he'll pay for these hefty
tax cuts, leaving Congress already deeply divided. To
figure that out. Tax
reform is gonna make healthcare look like a
piece of cake. Nice setup, good payoff. I like hoga I need that
sound. I need the Omega sound. I don't have to have it. Oh, God.
That's great. Yeah, dicks. Yeah, it's really no different from
what he what he campaigned on. In fact, it seems almost
identical, I should have compared them side by side. The
thing that is added that I think is new was the wealth tax, which
is still not, it's not really fleshed out what level that
would be at or how that happens. But it's mentioned in there. I
think the corporate tax is the most important thing. I liked
the idea of it being six pages, I thought was going to be two. I
guess it's going to be six pages, and then you can just do
your taxes. That'd be nice. If the day if it were that easy,
but I don't see and I don't see I mean, I guess they can pass it
if they have if they have they have everyone's on board. They
have the votes, but there's so many traders in the party and on
both sides. But I just don't think I don't think they'll pass
anything. The Democrats are going to fight and fight and
fight and just not make Yeah, I heard Chuck Schumer who was it?
Schumer? I think it was Schumer Schumer saying like you know
this is give all the money to Wall Street screw the little guy
that's really doesn't say that at all.
No. And the $25,000 2424 standard deduction nice huge
deal nice because the for everybody is double is double
what a rich guys don't care about that. No,
no. And I'm not I believe although I see the point is this
is just an introduction. Here's what I want and here's what it
should be and now that has to go into into the house and they're
going to debate it I'm sure it'll be it's Congress it'll
become
no question in my mind that the 35% rate for corporations to
separate or certain ones like General Electric seem to skirt
it somehow. Some of the defense contractors get around it that
is hurting the country
I agree. Yeah,
I agree that's got to go and the Democrats want to keep it so
they can keep gift or outsource buddies I just do not like the
fact that this the everyone's not on board with this you're
talking about for the wealthy Oh, they're the richest for the
rich and the Democrats are the ones that are rich. Yeah,
they're gonna fight it. And the they know it's not about the
rich.
I think the final point we'll come down to if they get that
far will come down to the inheritance tax. I think that is
that's the one where where people are gonna go crazy.
Mill Yeah, I think they should just go with Bernie's idea of a
wealth straight up wealth tax. Even though I liked the way I
don't have any clips, but I liked the way it's like
countered people. You know, I listen to the right wing talkers
and they then Bernie comes up with a wealth tax. which is I'm
all on board with the idea it because it would actually lower
most people's taxes and it would also fulfill the desires the
great desires of the super wealthy Warren Buffett and Bill
Gates both they both said they want to be taxed more this would
do it I think that's fine so they're not going to complain I
wouldn't think it unless you're full of crap which is possible
and the wealth tax would but you listen to right Wait, ah, we've
got all these taxes is good. We already have income tax and
property tax and now a wealthy No, it's instead of an income
tax, there's no going to be no income tax the idea of an income
tax is really bad because it prevents you from becoming begin
accumulating wealth. No, the income tax would be out it
wouldn't be plus, wealth tax isn't plus income tax. That's
not the idea. Okay. These guys are liars. These right wing
talkers.
Well, all of them who else has proposed this kind of idea
besides Bernie?
The Swiss the Swiss have had well text for a long time now on
and off.
Everyone seems pretty happy and wealthy there. Yeah.
The French I think tried to well, textbook. upper classes
got worked about it and they killed it. No, Brian, it's
Bernie's right now the only one that's even talking about wealth
tax because everybody poo poos it? Yeah. But what are you gonna
do? What are you gonna do
speaking of elites, or tell us back? I don't have a clip yet,
but I'm sure he's gonna show up on a couple of couple of shows.
And I want to get some clips from him. He is now tracking my
brother's the My Brother's Keeper Alliance. If you recall,
that is the nonprofit that Obama was involved in and that is now
as cartel says he's turning into the exact same criminal
enterprise. The Clinton Foundation is the exact same
as the guy who, who wrote a book on the Clinton scam.
Yeah, Ben, he is a a well known financial. Not
deconstructionist, but like a forensic forensic analyst. Yeah,
exactly. And he does this for a living. And he's been doing of
course, he gets no air rarely gets airtime on M five n
shows up on like democracy now.
So My Brother's Keeper Alliance, he says the way it started out
the same way, just like the Clintons, the Clinton Foundation
was originally only for the Clinton Library. And Obama has
My Brother's Keeper. And he's not and that foundation is now
absorbing My Brother's Keeper Alliance without appropriate IRS
approval to expand the mission of the nonprofit which was only
for Obama's presidential library. Yes.
He learned from the best Hey, Barry, and appearently.
Here's what you got to do. Barry, when you out? Here's how
you do it.
I'm sure it's exactly what happened to somebody, you had a
better impression, a sound
sounded more like himself.
The day would have Sorry, I forgot where I was going to go
ahead there with
the same thing or tell Clinton, Obama same foundation, my
brother's irama
Obama, we can't forget. And everyone talks about this in the
kind of in the background. Obama from 2008 Onward has accumulated
what I'm told is like the largest mailing list of anybody
ever, he's got like some huge mailing lists he's put together
from the DNC and from his own campaign efforts and everything
else. That's that really just he's guaranteed lifetime income
of millions of dollars a year easy with that mailing list
sucking insert Nice.
Well, he's he's playing at the same way. Good for him. Good for
him.
Yeah, we'll wait until somebody this person puts a stop to it.
It's not gonna happen. Come on. Everybody loves Barry.
I have a berry that that wants you to tell me. Did he have open
heart surgery?
Obama? Yeah. Not that I know of?
I don't think so either. In fact, I found this whole clip
does on NBC. This whole clip to be kind of odd in a number for a
number of reasons play this Obama Malia Harvard clip,
he was president for eight years, but he'll be a dad for
the rest of his life. And like many fathers, Barack Obama had a
tough time dropping his daughter off at college. After we told 19
year old Malia goodbye at Harvard, the former president
said he was moved to tears comparing the experience to
quote, open heart surgery. Welcome to the club, sir.
Wow, double double tap at the end. Yeah, ha.
So now first of all, is not dropping the kid off at
kindergarten, or they're crying and they don't want to get on
the bus or whatever the situation might be. This is a
mature adult. Going to Harvard. I always thought she was already
in Harvard, but okay. She's our high No, she was hanging out in
Boston a lot in Cambridge. He, but now for some reason he
dropped her off. I didn't know that you do that you hear me go
by, dropped her off and he's in tears or He's beside himself and
this is first day of college. It's a it's a picture. The guy's
a whore. It's a picture moment. That's why I did it. Yeah. To
get attention and promote something. I'm telling me this
is out works.
Well, he does bullcrap. As far as I'm concerned. You don't get
all teary eyed dropping your kid off at college. Oh, you got her
first job? Oh, it's not like that first grade. Anyway, the
steady drops his little bomb has felt like getting open. How
would he know what open heart surgery feels like unless he had
it?
I don't know. Did he take a vacation? I mean, you can be up
and about after that after about 10 days. I mean, you'll be up
you'll be yet but
I'm wondering whether he had open heart surgery. And then I
get I wonder whether Lester Holt knows about it. Yeah, anchor he
had he had open heart surgery with him. Or something. Maybe
that's when they put the bomb in these guys.
Lester holds open heart surgery.
You didn't look that up. Did you? Know I didn't. He's a
grandfather.
No, no, there's lots of links to the to him saying that but no.
Interesting. Lester Holt was out sick and 2015 Well, that was
back surgery for herniated disc.
That's what they're telling you. Yeah.
It's like no, I I went to a spa to relax for a couple months
just a spa.
I think people should pay attention to the it because the
next movie is out. But the Kingsman The original Kingsman
can't wait. Yes. We'll get you if you haven't seen the first
one. You should have seen them both. John. We talked about this
whole thigh. Yes, we did. Let me ask you there should go see the
first one or find a good copy of the first one because it's
pretty funny in it. And it's pretty funny period.
By don't I we finished The Handmaid's Tale.
And we don't have thoughts on The Handmaid's. Well,
most importantly, is you had your dinner with the millennials
and I would like to know what you learned. And I'll tell you
what I learned.
Okay, there were two questions presented to millennials. One
was about memes. Yes. And the other one is about McCain.
Can I start with memes? Okay. I asked, Do you know what I mean?
Is the answer was immediate. And was yes, of course. And this is
how they work. And this is how they're created. And they could
be texted with pictures. And I said, Do you have do you know,
is anything else a meme to you? Answer? No. Okay, no, we'll have
to circle around BACK TO THE HANDMAID'S TALE in a moment,
because that just made no sense as an introduction, because I
thought that was one of the questions, but somehow I got
confused. Yes. Okay. We just get this out of the way. So I didn't
ask anything about McCain. Unfortunately. I know I'm sorry.
All right. So I asked these two questions as instructed. I got
kind of the same answer about means but everybody knew the
other definition of mean
yeah, they're also a real def and they're also 29
Where did I get both groups? I got the young group 21 I got the
old group already. Okay, so the young group may be because you
know in the old group always JC is there so he'll take over well
yes, there is another definition that means a society old you
know the
JC is also not your normal typical angry so he's credibly
intelligent so
but they kind of all thought what you predict it okay.
Now, my inaction on McCain dam dam that they've been corrupted
by you
know, in fact, I don't remember ever talking about McCain with
these people. And all of them the young and the old group both
said McCain's a douchebag. The military hates him. Hmm.
Interesting. They had none of them what you predicted a kind
of a Bernie Sanders kind of a thing. No, they didn't like
McCain. They thought he was a douchebag. And then they've
wanted to tell me stories about how the military hates him. And
I said, nevermind. I want to hear the stories I've heard. I'm
interested in that was that was that? Well, I think you're 50 or
500 years in half and half half an hour. Yeah. Well, I'm very
disappointed about this means thing. Of course, I did a bunch
of memes myself and put them in the newsletter. Yeah.
You are grounded. You really are you in Macedonia could see the
newsletters are pretty good. They're very convincing. I have
a feeling it's the divorce troll farm. Fake News. You know that
would be another thing we could go into that maybe as a side
business or ultimate retirement just writing stuff for bots and
writing means
we could it wouldn't be very hard we make probably make more
money All right. Let's go in into this. I saw the first and
last episode of Handmaid's Tale. I would say it is a depressing
yeah the ending is kind of interesting, but overall just
watching it the one after another after another, I can see
somebody go going into a funk. Depressive funk is a terrible
story. It's very, it's it's it's dour. I like nothing about it.
The acting is good. I wrote down grim, humorless, depressing an
unhealthy, unhealthy to watch, unhealthy to watch. And that's
where I think, you know, you've been affected by it. And it's
totally anti Christian. The whole series is a form of
brainwashing. To what end I do not know, I wrote this down is
done by the evil old Margaret Atwood. And it creates ill will
towards men. Yes, that was me. That was what I took away from
it. Now I found a article for The New York Times, of course,
written by Atwood. And to show you what a lunatic she is, I'm
going to quote the last paragraph of this article.
Because these are the basic novel, which was a huge success.
And by the way, they're making kids in high school read and
read this novel as part of the brainwashing culture that we're
living in
and and every millennial I spoke to female had read the book.
There you go.
So here's what she's actually thinking. Because the way the
story goes, the heroine records everything over tau and
cassettes or something. And then, and then years later, a
decade eons later, somebody finds the cassettes and they say
oh my god, what a horrible world they lived in, boom, here we go
with the anti Trump thing. In the I said, boom, in the wake of
this is nine quote I'm reading from Atwood. In the wake of the
recent American election, fears and anxieties proliferate. No
agenda listeners, basic civil civil liberties, liberties are
seen as endangered, really, along with many of the rights
for women won over the past decades. And indeed, the past
centuries, really, in this divisive climate, in which hate
for many groups seems on the rise and scorn for democratic
institution, institutions is being expressed by extremists of
all stripes. It is a certainty that someone somewhere, many, I
would guess, are writing down what is happening as they
themselves are experiencing it. Or they are how they will
remember and record later if they can, will their messages be
suppressed and hidden? Will they be found centuries later, in an
old house behind a wall? This is a woman who is nuts.
Wow. Interestingly, you could have taken that exact text and
published it today. And it would not have seen that crazy to
people that would have been like,
yeah, yeah. This was a recent article by her. Oh, I
thought this was back in the day. Okay. No, no, this
isn't a New York Times about a month ago. Oh, I'm sorry. I
didn't understand that. Okay. So she believes that today. Yeah.
The Trump era and the book make sense together. And she thinks
people are sitting around freaked out writing down Oh, my
God, Trump, Trump said son of a bitch today. And then they gay
rapid if they stick it in oh,
here's here's the comparison. That is beautiful. Because
people are doing that. They are doing it by the hundreds of
1000s. And their wall is the face bag wall. It's it's
happening. It is true. I see it. I see people are completely they
are freaked out about everything he says. And he's IT people I
know very well worked with intensely for years. So I know
them. Like oh, my God. They're really they don't listen to the
show,
obviously, currently not.
Hey, Adam, good to hear from you.
So anyway, I did not appreciate this being put out into the
public consciousness. So this series, so thank
you for saying that. Because the response I saw I told you that
Tina was very, you know, it worked on her. It worked and she
said, You know this, this is happening. It's just happening
with
women I mentioned in my notes, it's a form of brainwashing it
should work. Is this
happening to women when it comes to Islam? So she said you know
it, and how religion can be misused, but in this case, yes,
Christianity is chosen. The men are at Cause she doesn't believe
that men are evil. But that is the subtle. That is the subtle
subtext. And that's what I saw. There's very hard, we weren't
really connecting on this basis. The story is the story. But I'm
just I'm looking at what is the social message of this. And
everything's in there, right down to the end. Here's, here's
where it's very obvious in the book, which I have not read in
its entirety. But I did get it to just get a feel for it. There
is extreme racism. This is nowhere to be found in the
series, which is is very out of place, which would show which
shows my my white privilege right there, I'll tell you by, I
caught myself thinking, Wait a minute. So now these two
handmades are one is pretending to be a Martha. And she's
wearing the Martha outfit, but she's black. And they're walking
past the aihole men with the guns, and they don't say
anything. And I thought to myself, well, just my impression
from the from the social status of the characters in the series.
I said self that would not go because there are no black.
Martha's, why didn't they stop her? And then I started paying
attention to it. And there's zero racism, zero. And that is
not the way the book is, is there's definitely racism a huge
issue in the book. And that was taken out, I believe, to focus
the consumer on the the dominant male issue and religion. Yeah.
Let's not make it about race, because everyone's all over
that. And then my real message will get snowed under it was
taken out is very wonderful.
A little more focuses the media. Yeah.
Yeah, very interesting. Now,
I'm not going to take it away. keep a careful eye on the
producers of that product.
Well, I'm going to continue watching it, even though this is
exactly the kind of thing I dislike it because No, I don't
mind an ongoing series that can go on for seasons and seasons.
But if there's some unnatural event, like lost, or you know,
we're in this case, where you know, something happened and the
men are in charge and the women are just, you know, to bear
babies and the horrible. We're never going to find out what
happened. And I can't sit through three seasons minimally
before they come up with some lame ending. I hate that.
Well, I'm not going to watch it. Period.
I'm going to show my son moved by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
We do have some people to thank for show 968 Starting with
Francis weberg $133.33. And then we have whoops. Yep, Sir Donald

my favorite. No, and he came in with $223.45 12345. He's in
Spokane Valley. No agenda has long provided a balance of light
heartedness and the examination of serious topics in the news.
However, in the past few months, I have sensed that current
events have overburdened or overwhelmed this balance. I'm
not certain of the solution, but perhaps more crack pottery is
needed. For the fire bottles, WA six, zero Am I

I think it's important.
Yeah, but it's just you got to do that kind of work. If you
want to, if you want to make the value for that value model work,
you have to do that kind of
we're pre selling our seminar. That's what we're doing right
here.
Well, or you could take the norm Pattis route. This story came in
yesterday, the former employee of podcast one. Now podcast, one
is a podcast network, who put together an app and a bunch of
podcasts. And it's norm Patterson a norm Pattice is a
legend in the radio business. And he built Westwood one. And
he had just huge, huge event raising radio guys radio guys
are a little weird. Then, you know, he wants to make this a
big success. He wants to be the the network for podcasts. And
it's mad, because you can't monetize the network. I've said
this a million times. Just forget about it. It's not mad.
Sorry.
It's thematic with you. Yeah, it is thematic. And I'm all in
agreement because I you know, as far as I'm concerned, I work in
vivo and we've gone through this and I've seen it in action. And
I think you're totally right.
So there's now two lawsuits going on with a former employee.
And the story is that the guy says, Norm Pat has sat me down
in his office pulled out his gun. He's a he's a sheriff. He's
a deputy sheriff. Then he's he's like a he's a police groupie, I
think but you know as all the end but maybe just doing great
for his community. I don't want to downplay it I don't I don't
but it's the seems like knowing radio guys. They're into weird
shit. Then you know, he's he's a radio guy. So he pulls out his
gun lays it down on on his desk with the muzzle pointing towards
former employee and says, I want you to Doctor the no numbers on
the downloads. So we could charge more for the
advertisements. And apparently the guy did it. But then they
got into a whole dispute and he was accused of something. And so
now this is his story that's coming out. And He's
countersuing, I believe.
And all these operations doctor, the download numbers exactly. in
different ways. Yes. Usually they have a third party do the
do the dirty work,
but I just pointed out just to show you that this is not going
to work. It's just not the podcasts are great. They're
beautiful works of art. To make money to monetize, you got to
you got to think differently, think differently. Yeah. Why is
it so hard for to explain this to people?
You have to explain to them one on one pretty much. And one of
the other problems is they have all these these dozens and
dozens of podcasts, seminars and con conventions, and all the
podcasters go to these things except us. If they said you're
gonna pick up a lifetime achievement or some you go to it
then but generally speaking, we don't go to any of them. And the
and you talk to people to go to them and it's just the blind
leading the blind these guys all Well, here's how you get your
advertising numbers up. And here's how you get new
advertisers is all about average, here's how you get
featured on iTunes. Yeah, here's how you get your number on
iTunes you can brag about that doesn't mean anything of course.
And it's all it's nuts. And these guys have which is a
problem for a lot of guys who actually want to make some
money. And then you find a lot of these podcasts we've bitch
about this constantly and we're gonna get to the birthday in a
minute. But you find a lot of these these guys, they're,
they're produced to get too many people working on the podcast,
so ever make any money. You can't have a staff it you can't
have like when i By the way, they Star Trek, the new Star
Trek and not the one on TV, but the one on the on the YouTubes
Star Trek Continues. Looks like a real TV production. It's a
very well produced show. But you look at the staff is huge. It's
got good day, everybody at the gaffers in the best boys, I got
all these bases. Another very important point. You do this,
whether you do that sort of thing with a podcast thing is a
radio show you have to produce, you'll never get the money.
You'll never make money, you can't make money. It's
impossible, because you can only get the amount of money you
could ever get in which is always going to be mediocre, is
not going to be able to pay these anybody they have to all
be volunteers.
Which is the mistake that a lot of people make.
Yeah, you can't get people to you know, volunteers are handy
for certain kind of minor things you can get a lot of people in a
group, like our artists, for example, are all volunteers. But
we have you know, there's at least 10 or 20 or 30 people that
jump in and out of the idea of doing some art force once in a
while and it's it's not like they have to come in every week
and do the show. You know, which is a lot of work to produce a
show.
I'll say, Yeah, well,
luckily we have an idiot savant that produces our show and it's
like, it's it's astonishing what a job he does. Oh, boy. Thank
you. I felt good. Nice reach.
I didn't mean idiot savant. I mean, a savant Okay. Well,
I'll say this. I've been following this trend, how
podcasts and podcast networks are going and I'm saying I'm
short podcast,
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.

some reason. You crazy man. Love you. Love the work you're doing.
Okay, I'm gonna break I'm gonna break with the with the rule.
Sorry. Gotta break that break the rule. It was just too good.
But I got to play a little Tucker. Sorry. I don't know if
you saw this last night. But it popped up today on YouTube. I'm
just going to clip that and it was so good. I just wanted to
play it again. Again, it's a college kid from Denison
University, though I saw this too. Yeah, this clip it it was
fantastic. And he's really trying to explain based on an
article to explain why violence is taking place to shut down.
Right wing conservative, even just moderately conservative
speakers who seem put any speakers
that you don't like, including the Hershey, the Jewish lawyer
guy Durscher, whatever. Dershowitz. Yeah, they
were you shouting him down, weren't they? Yeah. Well,
they always do that.
So first to talk her ass, you know, tell me what is hate
speech?
Well, hate speech is speech that comes out of the rhetoric that
targets certain groups or individuals because of who they
are, or their social location society. And what's more about
hate speeches that usually incites violence and brings harm
to these people who white nationalists and white
supremacists often target.
What I found interesting about this clearly programmed young
child clearly brainwashed, is the use of the word insight it's
now baked in. And I don't think he even knows what it means.
Because insight is the yelling fire in a crowded theater
clause, I'll just call it that. So this is this is propagating
perfectly, that hate speech insights to violence, and he
explains how the violence comes about and actually defends
Antifa I think that's the example used here. Because,
well, you know, these guys are talking hate speech. And that
represents all the violence that the KK has done. So just listen
to this. I just thought it was be it was just unbelievable.
So these aren't simple disagreements that we're talking
about here. Oftentimes, we are talking about topics of hate
speech and free speech. And the way in which rhetoric in speech
has become so important is because of the demagoguery that
has been witnessed throughout the recent election. And
oftentimes, it historically, the university has been a place of
politics, debate and speech. And so this is nothing new. We know
that people like to espouse white nationalists and white
supremacist views at campuses around the country. And even
I guess what is what is I mean, that's a debatable point that
you just made. But the first point you made is not debatable
that traditionally, colleges have been a place where people
can say what they think even if other people disagree, what's
new, and I'm old enough to remember it, is that now
students like you are saying, No, you're not allowed to
express that views here. Yes.
Yes, it is. It is a new thing. And it's because we are now at a
space in society where we're concerned for the safety of
people, right. And so we have a change in society, where we are
no longer allowing groups of people to be targeted and come
under the harm that
nominee just at Denison. I'm in Greenville, Ohio, how many
students have been killed by white supremacist on your campus
recently?
Nobody's been killed by white supremacy but I'm sure that
there are a lot of people living under the stress of white
supremacy and white supremacist views. So if I make a video on
white supremacists on the campus of Denison so and if you speak
to
a right but But hold on, hold on hold on you you said that there
was there was the fear of imminent violence but but you're
concerned there hasn't actually been any violence. So the
standard is
imminent violence is about enabling people to carry out
micro aggression. So rather than
there you go, that's, that's the core issue. This is about
enabling people to commit micro aggressions. That's why they
need to be beaten down and in refused. A speaking platform is
amazing. There's like been
any violence. So the standard is,
fear of imminent violence is about enabling people to carry
out micro aggressions, rather that be the use of the N word,
the use of different speech. We're not just talking about
but what about when you watch television, and you see like in
Berkeley, people with black handkerchiefs over their faces
hitting other people with chair legs or scrambling with bear
spray, that's actual violence, I think you'd agree. And they're
on the left. Does that kind of challenge.
The violence that's occurred from the left has been entirely
reactionary to the white nationalist violence that has
come from groups like the kk k, and it come from white
nationalists.
Just he ends it.
Well, that actually sucked. I'm glad you played it, though.
Because one thing I thought was interesting, was using the N
word
as a microaggression. That's a macro aggression.
micro aggression is asking a cop if he wants a donut.
And it's not a good idea. That is not a
good idea.
So we have the same situation today, as we had yesterday on
the freeway, something happened. And the freeway stopped dead.
All the way to San Francisco. And I'm only mentioning this
because down, I can see down and there's one street, which is a
bypass like the front. It's like a frontage road thing. And it's
packed. So something's up again today. I mean, this is
ridiculous around here. This is the beginning of the depression.
I mean, let me play you a this is a teaser. I didn't clip the
story. I just clipped the teaser because the teaser says it all
which is often the case. This is the Salinas T's top story,
financial trouble for the city of Salinas. So we don't have to
file bankruptcy.
Why city leaders are concerned about going broke.
Ha, there it is. There's your Armageddon trigger.
That's one of them. They already said.
So the bond market is freaking out right now that they
everyone's getting out of bonds because they think that there'll
be less yield in treasuries than other opportunities with the
lower taxes. I'm, I don't know what I'm talking about. But
that's
no you don't do you, they're actually getting into bonds.
Bonds are still hanging in there. There's no when they get
out of bonds, it's gonna be that's going to be the show.
We're gonna, that's gonna be the show. I don't know if it's gonna
be like the end of the show. But it'll be the show. We'll be
talking about it because it's going to be I don't know how
we're going to do it. But as you'll probably read a bunch of
stuff, that'll be interesting, but it's going to be such a
panic when it starts to go. That is going to be the show we're
going to be doing I couldn't be just mentioning it. It's gonna
be a lot of the show.
I'm just gonna find that article where I read about that. I was
like, Oh, that's interesting. Oh, maybe was here home? Yeah,
is Trump's tax plan proposal drumming driving the bond market
sell off a global bond sell off spread from the US to Germany on
Wednesday, with analysts and traders pegging the action to
new detail details of President Donald's tax reform.
Yeah, it's not it's well, maybe
well, I've been that's a global sell off is not a big deal. And
gold gets bought and sold globally all the time. And
that's the same headline so maybe nothing but it would be a
good to have a little catalyst you know, throw in a bit of
throwing a bit of real bond problems. And what and what what
county was that that that couldn't
Linus is down in Monterey County I think. But you know, this is
going to happen everywhere. We and yeah, I think Hartford
Connecticut are one of the big Housing Connecticut is been
bitching about this they're gonna go broke, right?
What's it going to say?
And what it's going to reveal my my source on this says who's
who's an auditor for major city in the Bay Area. He says what
it's going to reveal when these cities go broke one after the
others, they're going to have to roll out their numbers. And
they're going to notice that the police departments and the fire
department the chiefs are making so much money that people won't
put up with it. This and not in every town, but in most of the
towns like when Vallejo went bankrupt some years ago.
Everyone was irked about the fact that the chief of police
and the chief of the fire department were making
40 $50,000 a year this sort of thing not gonna go over well.
It appears our trump M five M cycle was spot on. Although it's
you know, this is like just it looks like it's spot on no
confirmation yet. But apparently, it will be said that
it probably the cycle. The next big hate Trump thing would be
about the grabbing women by the pussy. That was gonna rotate
around and its rotation. Here are the headlines. Trump says he
groped Melania in public, Ivanka looks down on him. These are
newly released recordings from the Howard Stern Show. So maybe
depending on the what other what else is taking over the news,
maybe that'll they'll fly.
But there was another element to this to going after this
particular aspect of Trump, which was they found some
information about when he ran they when he first took over
these bathing beauty contests, Miss World
or whatever it was, yeah, he made them wear
small bathing game theory skimpier, which was your was
your main complaining?
It was your that was your major complaint about the last show
you saw?
Yeah, they had a big old big giant coverage of the entire
button major Baatar. But yeah, people gotta get a clue. They
gotta be on one side or the other on these issues. But I
have to rescind the I think this is going to be pushed to the
background. And we're going back, you already had the first
clip, you had proof of it right there. But going back to his tax
returns. Yeah, because the tax plan is on deck, and one's gonna
be talking about that. So I think that it's time to start
pressuring about tax again, which will fail pretty quickly.
And then we can go back to grab by the pussy, which is much
more.
There's not a lot of elements. We've got the elements listed.
Yeah, I think I put some few of them in the newsletter and we
just need to get the order of what the rotation looks like. We
haven't got that figured out. It's very difficult, because
there's so many elements we're dealing with here
while we're keeping track of it now he's I'm writing stuff down.
Yeah. There was a new service launched in Brussels. Well, I
don't feel it's just they they wanted they launched this
service or did a big PR campaign. really outstanding
rollout. Everybody fell for it. And I'm pretty sure some of the
parliamentary European Parliamentary members may even
be in on the gag. This is just fantastic. And when you when
they talk about this, this billboard, it's on a truck truck
that drives by and can park an advertising
campaign for a dating website. Putting young women in touch
with rich older men has been banned in Brussels, a mobile
billboard parked outside Belgian universities telling female
students they could fund their studies by dating a sugar daddy
that's been condemned as encouraging prostitution by
politicians. Mr. Khalid doorco I'm not here to lecture anyone
as long as it's between consenting adults have no
judgment to make. But on the other hand, we're facing here
and mechanism which is in a way, pimping was. The site is based
in Norway, but operates in several countries. It's founded
in nice, it's promoting prostitution, and argues that
money is a part of every relationship
we found out that mentorship and something more than just
appearance or ship and meaning mental stimulation, support to
start their own career and wanting to learn ambition. Those
were important drivers for what they found attractive in the
map.
I love this story so much the number one place to get sugar
daddies interested in this. This sugar daddy dating website is
all those creepy guys in the EU. They're in Parliament. And an
extra bonus extra bonus. This is why the owner is talking this
way. We will find a definition of sugar daddy to be different
than that of prostitution which opens the floodgates for
everybody.
We there is a future for us.
Hey, what are your sugar daddies? Yes, right?
Okay, I just did the mentor mentor.
I'm gonna mentor you bro. Good There's some crazy people in the
world. You know, you read the stories about this. A lot of
girls feel very empowered by it. I mean, I think it's pretty
effed up but a lot of them feel very empowered by it.
Empowered by what happened some old guy on the on the string.
Yeah. On the leash. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Well, that's what you read. I mean, I don't know
anyone personally.
But as you're around, but I
think this is a very interesting definition the difference
between prostitution and giving somebody a monthly payment or
stay stipend stipend. That's what it is. Thank you. What
are you looking for?
I think that's an interesting debate. And maybe this will
launch
with buying somebody's books.
Buying somebody's books. And
those books are expensive now they've turned into Oh, right.
Yeah, thing is turned into pretty college kids. There's
about the college girls trying to help them out to create these
college. Books are a gyp.
Yeah, they're big Jeff 150 bucks a book.
Yeah. And then they make it so he had to buy a new one. You
can't buy the in the olden days when I was a kid. They had these
bookstores that had all the college books that were used
from the previous semester, and you could buy them and use them
for the same class. But now they've got it. So they rotate
through these books in such a way that you can't do that.
Yeah. Yeah. The curricula you're using last year's version of
the book. You don't have the right edition. Yeah, but it's
really it's $150. In some cases, it's crazy.
Yes, it's a complete rip off. Someone can't sell them when
you're done with them.
Yeah, and that used to be the best thing and you'd have a,
you'd have a bookmark. You can go and sell your books to some
schmuck. Maybe when I was like, Look how nice I kept it up. And
I put covers on it. Remember that? I had bipod covers on
mine. So it was beautiful. So it's $10
Well, it University California Berkeley they had the whole
thing was institutionalized. So he didn't do any of that stuff.
Because they had stores especially that were related to
the other store next door. It was there was a lot, you know,
as it was I was in was yeah, it was in communist. I mean, good
cow. And I was there is what there's some they had some
institutions, I don't know if they existed where they have
this thing called five, eight note company. So you were taking
a course and the courses were mostly they're very, they had a
lot of students in these courses, because a lot of them
are lectures in a big hall. And you could you day decide to take
the week off, you're gonna go take a trip somewhere and you
come back, you go to 5/8 notes and you buy those classes,
right. We're a professional note taker, had taken the notes from
the lecture and then you just buy him for like, I don't know,
$1 or something for the notes for each class you missed. And
then you read those. You're all caught up. Fantastic.
Speaking of students, they wish I had a clip I don't remember
Joey, what's his name? Joey Gardner. I think he's the black
guy who conservative. To be honest, he's Brown. No, yeah, he
was he was they his rally was cancelled by Pelosi initially.
Jelena remember? Okay. Well, Joey Gibson. He's the leader of
the group Patriot prayer. And yeah, they, you know, they have
trans people, you know, white, black, red, brown, yellow, all
kinds of stuff, LGBTQ IAP, the whole deal is all in it. And
they had a rally and then some countered some Well, which
they're called protesters in this case, but they're not your
typical white nationalists. Then the counter protesters came
along. And they became to a fight inside this is Berkeley,
actually. They had an empathy tent. So inside the tent is a
safe space. Gotta have empathy for each other, too. Both groups
were in there got so bad, the tent almost ripped to the
ground, the cops had to calm had to break apart, right? People
got arrested, people got beaten up in the empathy tent. That's
where we're
at right in the empathy tent is like the title of a book, the
fight
in the empathy tent, and no agenda novel. Just nuts. Yes,
nuts. Oh, I just wanted to say because you're gonna get I'm
sure you're getting mail about it. You and Horowitz are talking
about the origins of Twitter and you're both kind of right and
both kind of wrong. Okay, I can be wrong and right. All right.
The 140 characters came from the fact that it was indeed although
it was you could reach it online. The way it started.
Well, first, it was a podcasting company that didn't work. Then
they came up with a whole subscription model and they used
podcast feeds for people to follow. That was their big thing
to follow on their system. And then it turned into the
microblogging service, which indeed was first only via SMS
text message. And that's why it's 140 characters. That's the
maxim amount of characters in the SMS message
that was 165 or something like that and SMS pretty sure it's
140 don't think it's 140
Well, that that is the story because I was there when it all
happened, because it was a podcasting company. So I
followed it very closely. Anyway,
just want to let you know, now they're going to 280 which I
think is a huge blunder
just gives a crap. Who gives a crap
see all this? wordage? Yeah. I have a story, alas, political
story, which is, you know, there's a bunch of the three of
the Cabinet members of the Trump operation are getting blasted
for spending too much money on private aircraft.
What exactly is the story?
Well, the story is that they're flying themselves all over the
place and then using chartered flights instead of taking
commercial, you know, and dig into public and the taxpayers
paying for it and Trump's are bent out of shape. But there was
a little tidbit in one of these stories that I thought was
interesting because I don't think it was ever explored
properly. They were just condemning the guy for doing
this but this is the weird phone booths story and expensive
flights piece
to a another major headline involving your money tonight
your tax dollars being spent by Cabinet members flying on jets,
one of those Cabinet members installing a $25,000 phone booth
in his office. President Trump was asked about it today asked
about Health Secretary Tom Price and his expensive charter
flights, which are now under investigation. ABC senior White
House correspondent Cecilia Vega reporting it's your money.
President Trump today making it clear he is angry with his
health secretaries pension for private planes on the public
dime.
I will tell you personally, I'm not happy about it. I am not
happy to look at it. I am not happy about it as I let him
know.
Secretary Tom Price under fire for his luxury jet travel,
costing taxpayers more than $400,000. And investigation now
underway and prices those high price trips are on hold
but we've heard the criticism. We've heard the concerns and we
take that very seriously and have taken it to heart
but today the President made it clear prices future is in
question. Three Cabinet Secretaries now under
investigation for expensive travel. Treasury Secretary Steve
Minuchin accused of taking costly government jets over
commercial flights, including that trip to Kentucky with his
wife where they viewed the Eclipse and new revelations
about the EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's frequent trips
home to Oklahoma paid for by taxpayers already under the
microscope. And now he's under fire for installing a $25,000
secure private phone booth in his office. Something previous
administrators didn't have a spokeswoman says Pruitt, a vocal
critic of the agency before he took the top job needs the
secure phone booth. So his calls are not subject to hacking from
the outside.
Yeah, we should probably put one of those in the Oval Office all
right. No, I'm
that's what I was thinking. That phone booth, whatever it looks
like wherever it is. It's got nothing to do with hacking.
It's a skiff or it's a skiff. Skiff
Okay. Well, it's about bugs. Yes.
Bugs.
The bugs there's bugs in the in the White House. Yeah, figure
that out for a long time. And so this guy knows there's bugs that
your he probably already did something where it got out and
he shouldn't nobody should have heard about it. But in that he
realized there's bugs in his office can't get rid of the
CIA's not cooperating with anybody to get rid of these
bugs. They want this probably their bugs. And so I bet this
thing I don't blame him.
I'm interested because I'll have to look into the story. But I
said the first thing that came to mind when I heard the story
was it first I thought you know, I see like a doctor who kind of
contraption where you get in REITs are flashing into the
future smoke comes out flies into the future comes back
again. Then it turns out to play at phone booth. It's not a phone
booth. That is very that's very I'm going to find out what it
is. I believe it's a skiff or what they call a skiff, which is
secure communications. Something I should I should look it up.
Yeah, well,
we'll find out what to delve into it because because bed
sheds about the bugs though. Oh,
it's definitely about the bugs. I'm just saying the way the
story is presented to make him look like a dick. They call it a
faux an expensive boy. You
get a phone booth in there and he goes into phone booths and
turns into Superman. I mean the
present No, but that's what they're doing. I have two short
clips. Same topic. Tell me what is missing from both. This is
about Anthony wieners conviction and sentencing.
Here's a look at some of his points of headlines. The New
York Times says former congressman Anthony Weiner was
sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting with a 50 year old
girl. Wiener cried as a federal judge handed down the Senate
yesterday, who was also fined $10,000. In order to register as
a sex offender winner must report to prison by November 6.
That was CBS. Here's NBC again, omitting something former New
York
congressman Anthony Weiner was sentenced Monday to 21 months in
prison for a sex for sexting with a 15 year old girl.
What are we missing from both of those reports?
I really don't know.
Every single time they talk about a senator or congressman
they always say Republican or Democrat. Oh, always. Yes.
Right. But now as a democratic country, they
tend they tend to only mention the party. That's bad against
the Republicans. Yeah, yes. The Republican Republican Republican
radio ran for mayor. He is a Republican congressman, I'm
sorry. He was a Democrat. Congressman. He ran for mayor as
a Democrat, but he was a Democrat. Congressman. They
didn't mention that either. That he was a congressman. Yeah. And
now there's a congressman. Okay. Well, he was a Democrat, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Heaven forbid, you mentioned that. Good point. Good
catch.
I thought that was good. Yeah. Hey, all right. We need to do
one more.
Well, I got a couple that you know, but I want you to go and
look into this before we actually started report on it.
But the Boston Globe that has a spotlight operation, which they
made a whole movie out of it, which is a investigative
journalist, endeavor, that they probably lose their ass on when
they do it. And they've decided to go after the FAA. Oh, and
they've got all kinds of stuff. The FAA does not, you know,
apparently after 911, they haven't done anything, including
this. I'll play the play. This clip is not my last clip. But
just to give you an idea as to pilot's license clip.
Okie dokie?
Well, 911 really should have been a wake up call, right. And
as we were reporting 911 was constantly in the background,
how is this happening in a post 911 world? But there were
mandates. So in 2004, Congress mandated that pilots licenses
should have a photo. And that seems like something really
basic. But here we are 13 years later, and we still don't have
photos on pilot's licenses. Why? Why not? Well, that's a good
question for the FAA. There, there are a lot of excuses. And
it just still hasn't happened.
You know, I'm back somewhere far in the back of my mind and know
about this issue, but I'll have to work on it.
Yeah, I want you to look at the report that they did. And they,
they're claiming that half the planes, you can register a plane
and half of them are owned by terrorists and former terrorists
and the people on the list that no fly list, but they've got
planes. It's a very interesting thing. But But I don't want to
get into it because of the I think you should be the
What is this? What is this registering a plane in the USA
clip, I want to hear that that might play it may help.
And it wasn't until we saw a town of 2500 people with no
airport that had more than 1000 planes registered to him that we
thought, oh my gosh, why are all these planes here? What is
happening? And from there, we just started to unpeel the onion
and go through all the layers that led us to where we are
today. Yeah.
And Jamie, you found the companies just can register
planes, you know, anywhere and they sort of our fronts for
something. Right, right.
Yeah, it's there it is. It is really easy to register a plane
in the United States. I think as US citizens, we think we go
through a lot of hoops to register our vehicles. But all
you have to do is just fill out some paperwork, sign your name,
send $5 It's $5 mail it to the FAA in Oklahoma City, and
they're pretty much going to trust what you say,
Okay, this is bullcrap. The I know what they what they found,
I can just tell you this part what they found this big
discovery is based on the following. If you are sir if
you're a certified pilot, and many people like myself, come
from other countries to get their pilot's license in the
United States. Why? Because we basically give you a license to
learn how to fly. You get your 40 hours you do your test, you
can land it kind of you're good. You'll never be able to fly a
plane by yourself with that with insurance until you have a
senior FAA approved pilot sign off on you so there's gonna be a
while before you're like oh god my lighting you know like a 16
year old in in the family Volvo. No. But if you get a license
United States you can only fly on N registered aircraft. Then
now aircraft and go anywhere in the world that can be anywhere
but those are registered with the FAA. The fear so for
instance, when I was in the UK, I could not legally fly a G
registered aircraft for G for GB or any or any other Aegis
anything else only So my aircraft was an N Oh good times
back when I had it. It was an N reg. And the way you do it is
you get a guy who maintains a number of LLCs board inks in
what is the de Moines Iowa what is what is the Duluth what is
what is where everyone has their companies registered in Delaware
Delaware Thank you let you get like a Delaware corporation
that's that's very easy to set up and that corporation then
registers your aircraft and you basically own that company but
someone else that Delaware company with someone else's
managing that so that's why you get one town he didn't mention
Did you mention which town it was?
I don't think the report though. You have to re I went up check
it out this thing before you start condemning it.
Well, I'm pretty sure I know what's going on. But that
doesn't mean that Terry had it isn't it is not that hard. But
it's not like oh my God, look we've discovered now I mean,
it's the same with boats. Yeah, I
want you to Yeah, all right. Yeah.
Just look into the picture on the pilot's license. I remember
that and I'm sure a lot of our fly boys who are listening will
remind me exactly what was going on.
Alright, so my actual clip which is then you can damage done,
which is the this clip concerns me. And I think it has to do
with of either the food supply or the fact that people are now
eating more crazy shellfish and other entities. Other kinds of
food that says cat comes from Thailand comes from China. I
don't know why we can't get our own shellfish around here. But
play this food allergies clip
background with some surprising health news from doctors about
food allergies. They're commonly diagnosed in kids but
researchers say there has been a dramatic increase in cases first
diagnosed among adults when foods they've eaten all their
lives suddenly become dangerous. And beseech Kristen Dahlgren has
our report.
Good thank you. Going out to eat isn't easy anymore from RBC.
Oops. So I would like the chef's salad please. Three years ago,
she had an allergic reaction. So severe she spent two days in
intensive care. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't
swallow. My tongue was swelling. We're gonna do a skin prick
tests,
doctors gave her an allergy test. The results were shocking.
At age 50. Marvy suddenly developed an allergy to one of
her favorite foods, shellfish,
it is mind boggling to me. I don't understand how it
happened.
Cases like Barbies are on the rise. A new study finding severe
allergic reactions to food have skyrocketed more than 300% Over
the last 10 years. Half of adults with food allergies
develop them after age 18.
It's very concerning because there aren't any warning signs.
Adults often
have different symptoms than children and reactions can be
more severe
respiratory difficulty and as well as GI symptoms that kids
don't get sometimes,
people with seasonal allergies are more prone to developing
food allergies researchers say could also be too many processed
foods making you sensitive so stick to a very diet with a lot
of fresh foods. Marvy now make sure to always carry an EpiPen
and is extra cautious.
I have a very severe allergy to shellfish so I'm wrong bite can
swell up and I don't know what would happen. I don't want to
test it.
What's How does she know she hasn't tested it?
You got to sick ones. She was the one that was hospitalized
for two days.
Oh, I see. Well, the immune system is busy what's happening
here and the dark view is that we're dying as a population
because we've we mess with the immune system so much then I'll
say it I think there's too many vaccines vaccinations. I don't
know that a lot of people think that and a lot of a lot of
diseases a lot of certainly allergies. They've come into
play after like mandatory vaccinations at schools. But
yeah, we're putting crap in our bodies absolute shit has nothing
to do with food. We're putting chemicals in what to expect and
then you get some real food.
Oh
I mean, that's it. Nothing is real everything's zoom shellfish
flavored that's by the way there's a product shellfish
labor.
Okay, what do you think that's the that's the No I think the
food supply is poisonous. But that's you know, I think what
you said is probably valid. Yeah,
we're dying. We're dying. These kids will everybody's dying if
the slowly if they even want to have kids dying. Be Oh, The
Handmaid's Tale is coming true. I'd be very careful though. Hmm,
that ad would you never know. All right, I just want to play
one clip just so you know, just to get us out of here in the
smooth transition not to be too negative. She is still not found
her footing. I'm sad to say Megan Kelly, really tried to
make her show work.
You know, I'm glad you got a clip I was gonna do that. I
watched the first two shows. She boasts shows I might add just to
add a little dimension to this. Both the first two initial shows
she for one thing she could live as she came out in tears and she
was nervous in the first show. I think she was crying before the
show. And she had she had to go to a big thing. Here's who I am.
Here's who I am. My dad died when I was 15. Second show, they
produced a package. Here's who I am. Here's who I am. Again,
I showed her crying in the package.
I don't remember that. But it was pathetic. And it's too much
of here's who I am. Here's who I am. I don't know what happened
after that. Because the show is slow moving. It's got a whole
cast. It's boring. It's just this show is no good.
Well, the reason why it's I can predict this as a failure is she
does not know how to talk to celebrate. He's from Hollywood.
She completed she had Robert Redford than Jane Fonda on then
these are legends. This that's a big get. Yes. Please come on to
on to Megan show. And Redford, Matt. He looks so
bad. Then it was sun. And too much sun and
Jane Fonda. Thank God she was on the show, because now I could
see her new facelift close up. That guy, that guy should get a
Congressional Medal of Honor, as she has really preserved
preserved an American icon is fantastic. And that's what I
would say to her and would be fun. And we talked about it. But
no, you've
been an example to everyone and how to age beautifully and with
strength. And you've had work done, which I think is clear
credit. But you look amazing. Do you have you? Why did you say I
read that you said you felt you're not proud to admit that
you've had worked on? Why not?
We really want to talk about that. Well, one of the things
people think
about when they look at you is how amazing you look.
Well, thanks. Good attitude, good posture. Take care of
myself. But let me tell you why i i love this movie that we did
ourselves at night rather than plastic surgery.
May you go botch that one?
Yeah, totally. And by the way on the blog, a movie, let them pick
the movie. Talk about the movie. Exactly.
It's a known formula. By the way. She's 86
Now she's not chess. I looked it up she's 79 That's what I said.
She's 86 But look 79 with a new work all right, and but that's
