Oh to the moon. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. There's a November
30 2017 This is your award winning game nation media
assassination episode Niner eight, six. This
is no agenda.
Back on a cigarette and deconstructing your world and
broadcasting live from downtown Austin Tejas cover the drone
star stay in the colonial in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm retweeting everything,
and John C. Dvorak.
Do we have a lag? Is that what that will happen? That would
happen? Would you just fall asleep?
I do we have a lag, I guess. Oh, boy. Okay. Well, we'll
see if it gets better. We have new Skype. So the experience
should be fabulous.
No.
We went through about an hour what else? Yeah, an hour of
reconfiguring. Check. Yeah, my check. It always happens when
you come back from vacation. You think nothing's nothing's
changed. Nothing's changed. Yeah. Something changed. You're
using a completely different mic now.
Yeah, I had to go with that with just three mics to get something
that sounds good.
Yeah. And we still have some Skype stuff. I know Skype is
pissing me off. Well, they change that interface. Again.
It's like what? Can't find anything? Yeah.
Anyway, is Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft about to build out a
new Microsoft city? Oh, really. And they're going to tear down
their Redmond campus which everyone loves, you know, it's
threadbare needs to be torn down. And so they're going to
tear it down and build it in Microsoft city. And these fish,
they put a example of this and they send a press release out.
It looks like crap. It has no architectural touch whatsoever.
It's just a bunch of buildings that look like warehouses or
prisons. Really, and then they're gonna have stuff like a
soccer field and a cricket field. For all the cricket nuts
that are working at Microsoft, anybody's an Indian would like
it. And they don't have a basket. I don't hear about a
basketball court or a football field or a baseball. Where's the
baseball field? Everybody plays softball.
Dodgeball, at least.
So no, no cricket and soccer.
I didn't know this. They do away with all those buildings that
have just a number on it. I'm in building nine. It's cool.
Yeah, yeah, they're getting rid of all that. And everyone said
everyone's you know, this is threadbare. I'm been to the
campus for some years, so maybe it isn't already bear putting up
it's not interesting.
I'll tell you power to him. I'm switching to Windows power to
him. Yeah, well, yeah.
Let me go to the Mac. Yeah, that'll be the day. It can
happen.
No, I don't think so. I used to use a Mac anyway. Screw that.
We're back. We're live. It is the 30th of November. I only
slept like four hours last night. So if if I have trouble
finding stuff, then please excuse me. I was talking to your
wife all night. Yeah. Doing some admin stuff. She's good. Yeah, I
know. I know why you married her.
Because she's good at what you're describing. That's what
she's good at. She sounds lewd, but it's not. She's good. She
used to go find people who had you had their books were all a
mess and the battery they was just a screwed up mess. And she
go fix it. Now.
She's like Nancy Drew. She's a fixer. No, no. Yes, she is. But
she's like Nancy Drew. She's like, I know a lot about you
now.
Oh, yeah. Joe Biden. She tries to tell me if someone's not
interested.
Like, what about me? We should try and tell you what I do.
Yeah, well, how about some professional courtesy here?
What's up with that?
I've talked over about it.
My God, Adams really weird. What are these charges? Oh my god.
Here's the best part. He's like, Yeah, you're gonna have some
bogus charges. So really? Yeah, like $8. And, like, it's gotta
be porn. It's like, yeah, bogus charges. All right. So tell me
about the meetup. I you know, I saw luckily that someone had a
cardboard cutout head of mine on a stick. I was very happy to be
able to participate. But tell me what
we had a ceremony afterwards burning it.
Okay, thanks, buddy. It was
three people at about 30 people. Some one of the guys came in
from one of our producers came in from Munich, Deutschland.
Here's the Hoff. And everybody else was, you know, from around
the area. I mean, we're London Greater London. And it was
fantastic. It's a women who showed up God were they hot? And
they were all yes, they were incredibly hot. And and then we
had one of the guys is interesting. He was one of these
a set designer and art director for the Star Wars franchise. Oh,
really? Yeah. Over there. It works out at Pinewood And when
they go out when they go to Hollywood to pick up an award or
some everybody hates them
because they're the Harry Potter Studios is that yes
for the student whatever it is because they're just because
they did cheaper.
Yeah. Yeah. non union and they're taken away business.
Yeah. No wonder they hate him.
Yeah, this is really dangerous to go to Hollywood.
Did you learn anything? You've learned any that any local
color? I mean, what do you guys do in there? Do you have any
travel issues? Was it just ho hum, we went off to London and
it was all great. Here's a t shirt.
I got a whole list of things. I got a whole I got talking
points. We did a lot of it. This was actually a quite interesting
trip for me because I hadn't been to London for about four or
five years. And every other time I went, it was like so
expensive. I tried to go, I'd go to Amsterdam, right? Like, by
comparison is dirt cheap entertainment is cheap there.
And so there's only so here's a couple activities go through my
list. I think this is very interesting. Okay. Most of the
pubs in London are owned by two companies.
I should have known this. You should have Yeah.
And it's ridiculous. They have no Brits I was with okay, we had
here's how many people we had a total of eight people, including
a couple of friends in Mimi's in mind who live out in Cornwall.
One of them is a credibly famous harmonica player.
Oh LeMans.
And he aged with the ruts you ever heard of him? No, I don't
think so. That's funny. He said he know. And also the four the
four guys or somebody says a bunch of British bands. So he he
says that he was annoyed. He's annoyed by the London having no
British people working in the pubs. They're all from Eastern
Europe. And it was pretty obvious. Yeah, everybody is done
list number two. everybody smokes
in the pub. I thought there wasn't allowed they allowed to
they're outside the pub. But everybody's smoking all the
time. Yeah, that's that's Britain for you. Yeah, well, I
thought they'd be bothered by now. It thinks what do
you think that were that great national health system that you
know they'd be forbidden. Hey, you want NHS no smoking for you?
Duty Free fiasco does. It does I got a list you have to go
through it. So don't skip anything. Come we will flew in
and out of Oakland Gatwick direct flight. That's because I
was told by a talk with a crew. I've been a lot of time in the
back talking to the crew. That's because Norwegian is making this
trip. Everything Norwegian airlines does British Air
topic. Yeah. And they're doing the same with Austin. That's why
we have a flight from London to Austin. And they have I think
they even have a budget airline that they're going to do a
special one for South by or something.
So they have so we go to find the Gatwick which is no no. It's
like three days away from London, but it's close enough.
Well, you took the train though. Yeah, the train the guy with the
rec Express is nice. If you order online in advance, when
you have more than a couple of people with you. They've dropped
the price. So it's a $10 ride. Nice, pretty good deal. So on
the way back, I want to mention this. It's so commercial in
London right now. I've never seen so many department stores.
There must be. I brought up with my wife. I said how many are
anybody? How many Macy's are in New York City? Big City, you
know, for me why and
you surprised me even just one yes, Fifth Avenue Macy's,
the big giant Macy's. There's probably 150 Marks and Spencers.
Aim any other department stores? Is there. Hundreds of them.
Harrods how many Harrods are there? You got me on? I have
only one I
don't there's more than one. You have a bunch of these outlets
because all these stores now are doing these little food stores
for prepared food. Right and Marks and Spencer has one or two
or 10 or 20 or 100 and so people are really buying this prepared
food is already made for you.
Then they get at the gas station at Tescos. Everybody everywhere.
Yes desk goes got a little store. They
just don't they don't cook. They eat chemicals packaged in
plastic and they smoke.
Yeah. So it's gotten so commercial, you go to the go to
get wick to go to the gate. Yeah, go to the check. You know,
they give you a hassle for whatever you're doing. And had
my wife had some clotted cream.
You could you could blow shit up with that. Yeah.
So they go Okay, so here's the case. Let's go. Instead of going
to the gates, they walk you through a random walk this does
require you can't get out of this. There's no shortcuts.
There's no way around it through a giant Duty Free Store. So you
started a duty free and then it wanders you around just like an
Ikea.
Oh, that's right. It has a pathway. You can't get off the
path you have. You're forced to get to the gate. You're forced
to walk through it. I remember this.
Yes. Geez. Yeah. Yeah, that is deplorable. Yeah, and meanwhile
while you're going through they're spraying people with
perfume you know these is a bunch of hawkers all along the
way got an air we got your bows were against your bows. So but
Dennis spraying people with perfect we're going on an
airplane, we don't want a bunch of people coated with stinky
perfume. But okay, you finally get to the gate. Once you get to
the area where there's the gate and they have these little
closed little gate areas. There's no bathrooms anywhere
nearby and they had these vending machines, none of which
worked. So they could be making money there but they don't. Food
course selves. Oh, yeah. So we're coming back into Oakland.
Now they got these new machines the self scanners. Yeah. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, you put your passport on it. You put your
passport in this thing and you type in a bunch of information
then you get this little little card which is like a boarding
pass with your picture on it because they take a photo of you
and then you get this little piece of paper and then you have
to go to another station which is passport control. What did
they put this extra step in there for
maybe they're just beta testing and getting it ready? I actually
I actually believe that's what they're doing. Yeah, so those
guys who are in the booth there's probably not they're
probably worried hate those booths?
Somebody pointed out to if you're handicapped or in any
way, shape or form even minor in London, you're screwed. No
considerations. You can't find the elevators there's no ramps
it's pathetic Wow
were there any highlights of stuff that you liked?
I'm gonna finish this year dog shit. People figure that
government is going to clean it up so they have their dogs you
know Jay is a dog walker so she notices this there's dog shit
everywhere because they don't will pick up after their dog.
It's an outrage. Well,
also, Mimi and her friend Teresa spotted a fox a float around a
mate you know just
yeah remember the fog remember when Christina was still living
in London the Fox would go in and steal her shoes.
Yeah the boxes are all over the place Yeah, and they they round
them up and then put them up drop them off in the country
where they die because they don't know what to do there. But
this foxes all over town and you see no stray cats no stray dogs
there's nothing in the air in London that stray
thanks fires a rat popular the foxy them probably.
Yes. And they also take care of the rat population. So that's a
plus. That is
a plus. How about garbage? Speaking of rats, is their
garbage everywhere. Is that pretty tight,
Raisa in some parts of like off Oxford Street you find these
areas where there's just piles of garbage? Interesting. No
Resharper programming. Oh, yeah. Here's another one. So British
Air apparently has the worst computer system of all the
airlines. In fact, it even went down for an entire day once.
Yeah, and what it isn't they used to have a good old COBOL
system but they wanted to upgrade and modernize. And so
they never really did that what they did instead was buy a
surplus computer system from from Montes
Oh really?
Want this ditch their system because it was a piece of crap.
And somehow the British Air genius has bought it on and it
doesn't work. And everything gets shipped off to India. So
anything that has to do with these old India programmers and
they they're just you know, we know what that's all about us.
They stink. Muse trendy Ira vs. Yeah.
Speaking of that, you know, there was a glitch in American
Airlines. A glitch said it. I said it. I said it. You said it.
And so they accidentally have no pilots booked for Christmas
season.
No, it's funny. Do you have to pay everybody? Extra? Over?
Yeah. Time? Yeah. There's a bunch of money on that deal.
Yeah.
Professor Ted laughing his ass off in jail.
Mimi got funny, got sick of the British accent for some reason.
There was a panic and one of the subway stations because somebody
two guys got into a fight and somebody yelled he's got a gun.
trampling and people got hurt. Oh, you guys were in the in the
tube. No, we were in that's it was Oxford Circus. And we were
there a little while earlier.
So people are on it.
I don't need any more of these.
But people are on edge then it sounds like Yeah,
yeah, they all ran like crazy. Oh, yeah. Sucks. Anyway, other
than that, the weather was good. It wasn't raining. It never
rained at all. Luckily, and it was freezing cold. And we were
over by Paddington and an air b&b. And it was it was a I think
a productive trip and went to Berry brothers and Ron picked up
a bunch of wine and cognac and stuff would be shipped back.
I was gonna say you didn't put that in your suitcase.
We did check luggage toys. I
just want to go back to someone in the tube, which is what you
say instead of subway. yelled he's got a gun.
Two guys got Do a fight apparently and they were beating
each other up and somebody yelled he's got a gun and
everybody panicked and ran out of the subway as fast as they
could and the cause and they shut down at the shutdown Oxford
Circus they cordoned off the area was a terrorist attack they
thought and gave a big news item for about four or five hours do
they kind of deconstructed and figured out was nothing going
on? Was it two guys get into a fight? But yeah, yeah, they
apparently much people were trampled.
So you had a good time was just you and Mimi in the Airbnb?
No, it was me me me JC
yes family okay and see adorable Eric Eric. Do you see adorable
adorable J and her boyfriend and then we hosted in mid Gaiman and
Teresa Holcomb are married and they so we had to place his pack
and so I you know, it was it was a it was a I thought it was a
logistics nightmare person sounds
like it how about breakfast? Is everyone like, oh, they all
scattered
and went to these different English Breakfast places I think
complained bitterly is gonna receive food. But now about
that. But even that day, there was no no bet nobody had bangers
apparently. Oh, the good British painter because he didn't potty.
Hi, I'm Alice. I'm from. I'm from California. I want some
Bangers and Mash. Yeah, yeah, you gotta ask for full English.
That's what you do.
That's what they did. Oh, and they didn't have it. I'm the
only one who ever asked for Bangers and Mash because it's
trying to get a decent banger was I'd never got one the whole
time.
Damn. Well, a lot of shots because because you would mean
you weren't alone. That's why there was no banger for you.
There you go. Hey, restaurant. Oh, here's it. Yeah, I got to
point this out. JC spotted this idea. He says that Yelp. And we
ended we kind of documented this. He says Yelp and most of
the you review it sites. You know where you go to a
restaurant you revered are useless in in the UK? reused?
Yes. Because everybody judges almost solely on service.
And not on food.
No, no, it doesn't make any difference shooting you have the
world's greatest meal. You'll get one star because the guy
didn't fill your water.
I hate to say it but you know the Brits, man. They got their
priorities mixed up.
No. Yes. Then they don't tips and they don't tip. So you we
also went because I want to introduce the kids of this
place. This is my last story there. Well, gosh, Catherine
routes through the next day. Okay, but so I want to show you
let's go to Simpsons, in the strand of famous old place where
they roll a card out and have a guide carves, you know, a
carvery and you get a big piece of meat and I've been there
probably five times. I like to
show people a roast beef. Did you get a roast beef or kind of
cut? Yeah, roast beef. So you
have they've cleaned the place. It's not as grimy as it used to
always be. It used to be kind of old fashioned grind was kind of
nice. And I was reading somebody bout blasting it in the
independent and I was thinking I can't do that. So we go there.
For one thing. There's none of the Old English men who did the
do the go to guy coming out with the carving. They have a French
guy, young kid and Millennial chopping away and another guy
was like from India or Bangalore. And he's, he's got
he's got the roast of of lamb and he's chunking off pieces.
It's like he's just randomly so you get a plate full of chunks.
He was no good. The roast beef is overcooked. No, you can't
have that overcooked. overcooked. And then the same
thing this guy's didn't know how to carve. And so you get a chunk
here and a piece and a thick piece and a thin piece in a
piece of scrap. And it's all on his plate. It was the worst. I
couldn't imagine this meal binge being any worse than this
service.
It's five stars on Yelp. Yes. Perfect.
I'm not going back. All right, ever. No, I'll go to try. Not
back to Simpsons. I'm not going to go back.
You go back to the UK. Oh, yeah. Okay. I just didn't want our
listeners to think you had a bad experience.
No. And I liked him. By the way. Our producers are dynamite.
Yeah,
we had a couple of nights too, didn't we? I saw some night
rings being flashed and photos. Yes, the
night rings being flashed. They wore the rings and flushed him.
And I just thought it was a very intelligent crowd of people and
they seem to get along with each other. And I thought it was a
good meetup. Oh, good. I'm glad you did that. Yeah, I am to
actually
yeah, outstanding.
And now it's time for your sexual harassment update. Tell
me about the sexuality. It's in your DNA.
You know, we go on vacation for three shows to play that clip.
Yeah, sorry. Yes, yes. Been waiting I thought, oh my god, I
can't believe it. This happens and we don't have a show. Yeah,
I mean, I was all ready to settle in, you know, like, Okay,
I'm just not gonna think about the world you know, so we got to
we got Thanksgiving, it's all fine. I'm like, oh no Charlie
Rose.
Well, Charlie Rose and Garrison Keillor before we go into
Charlie Rose let's play this Garrison Keillor clip. Because
this is all the news media wasn't says they couldn't
associate it with Trump. Damn Damn, he just gave it they gave
us Garrison Keillor shorts cheated by CBS fox,
a radio host Garrison Keillor was fired today for what
Minnesota Public Radio calls inappropriate behavior. Keeler
told the Minneapolis Star Tribune he had put his hand on a
woman's bear back to console her. He said My shirt was open
and his hand went up about six inches. She recoiled and he said
he apologized. Keeler said the woman forgave him. We continued
to be friendly, he said, right up until her lawyer called
Oh crap. Another really ugly looking
guy. Well, Keeler, who is a very ugly looking guy looks lovely l
Frank, and I decided
then bookmark that I need to talk about the similarities in.
Appearance.
Yeah. Now Keeler is the big loss here. I mean, Charlie Rose is
bad enough that because he's interview show is very popular
amongst the the liberal cognitive Santee dealer. We're
on NPR. He has this show that he does. He's been doing it for 30
years.
I've never heard I've never heard of the show. i His name is
vaguely familiar to me. But I've never
April's liberal in the bay area or anyplace else across the
country, you would be listening to this show. It's like a live
radio show a very old fashioned very good, well produced show.
That is, you know, he's got guests on that saying and he's
got it's like as then Yes. Isn't a big theater. It's almost like
the 1920s 19. More like the mid 1930s type of radio show variety
show this actually produced as a radio show. It's fantastic show.
And I just I don't know what you're going to do with that
this guy because he's a he, for all practical purposes carry the
show. It's like having the Jack Benny show without Jack Benny
and everywhere
I'm hearing when people are talking about NPR. They say no,
no, no, it's not NPR. It's independently produced. You
know, it's a it's not really an it's not part of NPR. They only
air it. You know, there was really quick to say that. And
please pay no attention to the news director who we fired.
Yes, it's produced by Minnesota Public Radio and that they
distributed themselves through one of the networks of
distribution. There's a bunch of public radio having worked in
it. That is not just NPR. NPR is a syndicate and the biggest one,
it's
not just a syndicate. It's a cabal.
It's a cabal. So so that came out and I thought that was the
funniest of the group but but the big one, but we might as
well start with the Charlie Rose. I don't know if I have any
Charlie Rose clips you might
know I don't really because it was just it was so shocking,
really shocking. And then it wasn't shocking, because I
remember you know, I was like I remember these guys, I remember
these douchebags from show business particularly. But it's
it's it's all surrounded around power at some kind of power
position. And
well, His thing was he liked to walk around naked. Yeah. So
that's just Charlie that you see. He's been doing this for
like 20 or 30 years. This is all coming down on these guys. Yeah,
all at once and they didn't expect it. And a big one of
course that came out is Matt Lauer and I've got a bunch of
clips. Yeah, I got a couple clips to Well, here's a creepy
clip when he's with his with the Anne Hathaway. This is Laura
with Hathaway. Oh, wait, wait, let me set it up a little
better. Alright. She was caught with an upskirt shot getting out
of a car or something.
Oh, yeah. And then he made a comment about it.
Yeah, he had to he had to comment on it. And Hathaway Good
morning. You see a lot of you lately.
Sorry about that. I'd be happy to stay home but the film.
Let's just get it out of the way had a wardrobe malfunction. The
other night? What's the lesson learned from something like
that? Other than that you keep smiling
what you always do. Now? Was that a complete beaver shot or
is it the panties?
I don't know. I don't remember. But he was all jammed. I can't I
can't
believe this escaped my attention. Yeah, well, well,
but he's but the thing is from this what did she learn from
this is that not Kevin photo taken was getting into trouble.
But here's
here's the thing. You know, when first of all this broke our
entire model of, Hey, you don't have a lot of sexual harassment
charges against good looking guys. Matt Lauer arguably is a
good lawyer. Guy, although I'm not, you know, I don't know, I
think he's a an acquired taste. But he's definitely, you know, I
mean, here's the here's my initial thought was, Wow, the
Clintons took him down, you know, because he was, Hillary
hates him. And he was droning on and on about the emails,
remember that townhall and she got really pissed off, and we
had some, that's a good, good way to get some information from
background from people who were there, we had the entire
transcript of how she was yelling at everybody, and just
Matt Lauer and f him and just like she was really, really mad.
And so I thought, oh, maybe, maybe it still could be true.
But then when I saw the TMZ video, which I don't have any,
it's hard to hear where he's, you know, what happened was they
cut to the affiliate break in the mornings, about five
minutes. And I think Kentucky station in Kentucky didn't cut
to the local, the local five minute news break. And so they
just kept that on the air. And there's some staff you know,
like pa production assistant, is doing something just slightly
off camera, the cameras focused on him and he has this douchebag
look, and he's one of these guys. He says, Yeah, that's a
nice looking sweater. Yeah, keep bending over like that. That's
nice. I mean, it is a nice view. Nice view. And I'm like, Oh my
God, he's one of those guys. Yeah, and these guys really
exist and it is the same guys who had the stoplight will turn
up their stereo to 10 Yo to impress the chick next to next
to him in the car. These are do some I gotta do some buddies.
But this was this has been going on for a long time. So I still
think it's possible that the Clintons like fucking let's get
this guy but wait. Now, then we come back to my bookmark. Best
friends with Matt Lauer, who was executive producer of the
today's show is Jeff Zucker. And I look at those two guys, they
have the same look the same kind of you know, bald head, little
bit of fuzzy hair on top. They know they have a similar kind of
look. I'm thinking maybe this can go all the way to Zucker and
CNN. But for sure would be great. I mean,
for sure.
NBC is problematic. I got a clip here. Let me see this is okay,
let me play this one first. And NBC
News spokesperson tonight says two more accusers have come
forward since the news broke this morning. And quote we can
say unequivocally that prior to Monday night, current NBC News
management was never made aware of a complaint about Matt
Lauer's conduct. We've reached out to Matt Lauer tonight last
year and so far we've not heard
back Alright, definitely we know you'll continue to do so there
you go. Current NBC management, which was
similar clip off from ABC. This is the it says m and c but it
means NBC management on Matt Lauer. And then it's a cya. And
I'll tell you what, you can hear it. Yours is good. I think this
is better
to have sex with her. David And Lindsey tonight, NBC News out
with a new statement. Yes, they
just released a statement not too long ago, David saying that
we can say unequivocally that prior to Monday night, current
NBC News management was never made aware of any complaints
about Matt Lauer's conduct, David.
Yeah, yeah. Well, so we know.
Andy lac who runs NBC is I think that's his name. He is only been
there for a year and a half. Well, he would have heard her on
NBC. Well, yeah, well, the guy just got there. He's not going
to. But you have to assume because of the way these things
are operating. Nobody's stupid, that everybody knew all about
this all along.
Yeah, they did. And it's clear to me that at this again, points
back to just a general theory that New York Times and Vanity
Fair were working together. And the way it sounds to me is like
they got worried that these articles were going to come out.
And that's why NBC tried to get in front of it. As what Tina
would say get out in front of the news and say, oh, you know,
we just found out this guy's a douchebag. And we're firing him
and so here's the word this about variety,
are named women tell variety. They were sexually harassed.
Their accounts variety says corroborated by friends or
colleagues. The magazine also reports that several women made
complaints to executives at NBC, which were ignored.
Yeah, now, NBC, me we've had a lot of stuff going on there. New
news director. I've lost count of how many people at NBC are
douchebags and you know, the these it's like pedophilia, you
know, they hire people who are like minded. Yeah, it made me
real, real turrible nest in there. Yeah. And you had Zucker.
That's what I'm saying. Zucker is now at CNN. So it's gonna
hire you're like,
you're kind. I mean, it's like this is a calm One thing in
businesses what you have to be careful you don't have these
little empires going on underneath your your management
because you end up with these guys you hire their own. You end
up you having a gay cabal or you have what happened. It was a
lesbian Cabal. Yes.
No, that was that was a tough every
gets talked about.
Here's the New York Times Best shepherd.
The firing of Matt Lauer may have been a shock to his today
show colleagues, but not to reporters at the New York Times
and variety, who say they were working on pieces about Lauer
and alleged sexual misconduct with multiple women for weeks
and months. The NBC New news boss Andy lack said that the
complaint Monday to HR by a female NBC employee was the
first lodged against Lauer since he started out at the peacock
network more than two decades ago and says the complaint was
detailed and a clear violation of company standards. The New
York Post reports that the woman claimed that Lauer sexually
assaulted her during the socio Olympics and 2014, a reporter
for a variety tweeted today that she and a colleague had been
working on a Matt Lauer story for months and that NBC was
aware there are multiple women we spoken to with far ranging
accusations against Lauer, the reporter wrote, The Power of
journalism has never been more evident with this cultural
change no word on if or when that story might be released
shepherded behind me all these barricades being set up for the
Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting, which is for
tonight, an event that Matt Lauer was supposed to be a part
of?
I guess not, guess not. No. Well, let's I have the complete
report this two minutes. Matt Lauer complete report. This is
the ABC version, which I thought was the best overall. Then I
want to play a couple of clips that show you especially CBS.
It's the mat. It's about Matt Lauer, but let's make it about
Trump.
It's great to have you with us here on a Wednesday night and
for millions of Americans. It was a stunning headline to wake
up to. Matt Lauer, the longtime host of the Today's show has
been fired. His co host Savannah Guthrie, her voice trembling,
she learned just before the show. Lauer is accused of
inappropriate sexual behavior and late today new allegations
now surfacing. off camera Guthrie and Hoda copy seen
hugging the close knit team clearly shaken. And tonight as
these new allegations now surface NBC News out with a new
statement. Did they know anything before the complaint
this week. ABCs Lindsey Davis leading us off.
Savannah Guthrie's voice trembling at the top of the
Today Show.
Good morning. Breaking news overnight. Matt Lauer has been
terminated from NBC News.
And then her first moment on camera rock about Matt Lauer by
her side. And good
morning, everybody. Welcome to today and hold us here with me
at this morning because this is a sad morning here at today and
at NBC News. Just moments ago, NBC News Chairman Andy lack sent
the following note to our organization
in the email lack writes Dear colleagues on Monday night we
received a detailed complaint from a colleague about
inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer. It
represented after serious review a clear violation of our company
standards. As a result, we've decided to terminate his
employment. While it is the first complaint about his
behavior in the over 20 years he's been at NBC News, we were
also presented with reason to believe this may not have been
an isolated incident.
We just learned this long weeks ago, just this morning, as I'm
sure you can imagine, we are devastated and we are still
processing all of this. And I will tell you right now, we do
not know more than what I just shared with you. I'm sure we
will be learning more details in the hours and days to come. And
we promise we will share that with you and hold it. I mean,
you know for the moment, all we can say is that we are
heartbroken. I'm heartbroken for Matt He is my dear dear friend
and my partner and he has been loved by many, many people here
and heartbroken for the brave colleague who came forward to
tell her story and any other women who have their own stories
to tell. And we are grappling with a dilemma that so many
people have faced these past few weeks. How do you reconcile your
love for someone with the revelation that they have
behaved badly
to love their you know, and the fact that she kind of was
shocked and stunned and it's a sad day when it should be a
happy day to get rid of guys like this? Yeah, I don't believe
a word of it. I think she was either involved with this guy at
some point or something else because unless she's an idiot,
you know, worked in broadcasting environments.
I think you nailed it
Yeah, you work in broadcasting environments you unless you're
completely like above it all and you hate you hate the crew and
everybody has in between, they talk they talk to each other.
It's like a farming community. You know everybody's business.
Yes. So this was just like what but
apparently what the the main infraction was rape in Sochi?
Yeah, yeah. Then you know, and there's some well look at Yeah,
get rid of him. I always thought I was a douche bag. Remember, I
spent some time in an airport with him. Back in 2000 Wow.
Like what happened? Just try to
well, because he had done stuff at VH one before he got the
today's show gig. So I'd seen him you know, but I had upper
hand you're like I'm MTV. Oh, hey, big one boy. Hi, Dawn. And,
and actually, you know, it was it was when the it was before he
started today's show it was I think 92 Maybe the Iraq War.
Give me anyway, so we were watching TV in a bar in an
airport and flights were delayed. And I just thought it
was achy. achy, that's what I thought it was achy. Yeah,
that's whatever. It doesn't matter, but holy moly, it's very
this is great for women. I'm trying to understand how they
feel about it and what they want to do. Which doesn't seem to be
anyone. Yeah. Okay, we're gonna get the douchebags out. You
know, I think women are what I hear someone say yes, we're
renegotiating the social contract between men and women.
Now I think we're just weeding out the douchebags is what we're
doing.
Let's hope but here's what that slide. Yes. CBS Of course, can't
really do a story if for some reason they really took every
mention any of the stories they had to bring it back to Trump.
And yeah, why let a good scandal go to waste.
So they have so imagine having that same report you just heard
and then I'm gonna then you tack it. This is what you tack on the
end of it. What making Matt Lauer about Trump got it? Legacy
is cooked.
NBC News Chairman Andy lack said this was the first complaint
about Lauer's behavior and
over 20 years at the
company, Anthony
Bianna. Thank you. One of the first comments on the Lauer
story came from the White House. Margaret Brennan is there
with me this morning, because this is a sad morning here at
today. And at NBC News.
The President's response came just 15 minutes after NBC
stunning announcement. Wow, Mr. Trump tweeted, Matt Lauer was
just fired from NBC for inappropriate sexual behavior in
the workplace. What the President didn't mention was
that more than a dozen women have accused him of sexual
misconduct. He put me in in grade last October in the final
weeks of the presidential campaign, summer Zervos claimed
she had repeatedly been harassed by Mr. Trump in 2007. Yes, I'm
being truthful and always be truthful. Keep she was a
contestant on his NBC show The Apprentice,
and they tried to push him away. I pushed his chest that space
between us. Then they said Come on, man get real.
Earlier this fall services attorney served Mr. Trump a
subpoena to preserve all documents concerning any
accusations that were made during the campaign that he
subjected any woman to unwanted sexual touching and or sexually
inappropriate behavior. The president's lawyers fought the
request. Throughout the campaign, then candidate Trump
dismissed the allegations.
The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will
be sued after the election is over.
But Mr. Trump has not followed through on that threat. And one
of his accusers told us that she never believed you would sue.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders in late October
is the official White House position that all these women
are lying.
Yeah, we've been clear on that from the beginning and the
President's spoken on it.
You can do anything, whatever you want, grab him by the
the President may also be trying to distance himself from the
infamous Access Hollywood tape. One Republican now lives as the
President has privately cast doubt on whether it was his
voice on the NBC recording, even though he had publicly
apologized for it. And this was locker room talk. Now, the White
House said the President's view on that tape has not changed.
But one Republican source said the President often creates his
own reality.
Yes, the ultimate reality.
It goes on like this, but there's a I think it's back
gonna backfire. Because the more they play that, that tape, and
everybody played it, because it has something to do with Matt
Lauer. No, because they wanted to play it.
Well, that will keep you here.
I'm sorry. You keep hearing Trump never saying he ever did
anything. He says you can?
No, in fact, for the for our liar in chief. He was telling an
absolute truth because what he said was when you're a star,
then women will let you do anything. You can grab him by
the pussy if you want. Not saying he did it. I bet he did.
But yes, and that's exactly what we see with these douchebags in
media. You know, it starts Oh, I star power and you can kind of
do anything. And then you know, Matt Lauer took it too far.
Clearly. Yeah, the President was telling the truth for change.
Well, anyway, so this whole thing is, you know, they kind of
it's interesting how they because they just they'll have
the Conyers think if i Here's another example. This is CBS
again. They got the John Conyers that old fart that's from
Michigan that is, you know, apparently walks around half
naked in his office and he's grabbing tit and pinch and ass
and doing all the rest of it. And by the way, Katie Couric was
caught on some talk shows saying that Matt Lauer used to pinch on
the ASOs. Yeah, but here again CBS see the CBS making Conyers
about Trump
is this is great.
Now to the sexual misconduct allegations that have shaken
Congress with the dean of the house its longest serving member
among the accused here's chief congressional correspondent
Nancy Cordis.
Democrat John Conyers was holed up in Detroit today after
leaving dc in the middle of the workweek.
He is at home with his family. They are discussing the
allegations and Will's colleagues
of Conyers in the Congressional Black Caucus say it's not their
place to urge the veteran lawmaker to resign over claims
that he propositioned staffers. We think that
is a decision for him and his family and his constituents. To
me,
the House did vote today to belatedly require anti
harassment training for members and their aides and the
resolution is agreed to. There's also a bipartisan push to
prevent lawmakers from using government funds to settle with
accusers as Conyers did. And in Florida Republican Ron DeSantis.
If you're somebody is in power, you can misbehave the taxpayer
will bail you out people House Speaker Paul
Ryan said even he isn't informed when members pay off victims
does leading by example on sexual harassment. Mean Congress
should say more about the women who have accused President Trump
of misconduct
right now we're focused on making sure this place works the
right way.
Yeah, then I'm really focused on that. But we need more show
business people to be outed, so that they can just carry on as
normal.
Act. I was thinking about that. Seriously, if you get enough of
you, right, if you get enough of them outed, then it's like, oh,
well, that gives us the way everybody's that way and show
business and we can, you know, go back to get our jobs back. Go
back. Watch Kevin Spacey.
I'm telling you within five years, everybody who has now
been scandalized, can can be back on the air. Maybe Maybe
not, you know, in the same position, but they can be
working again. The American loves a comeback story. I'm
sorry, man. I'm a douche. Yeah, yeah,
they do. And I think that yeah, I think these guys are good
actors and good. The better actors like spacey will pull it
off. Yes. Well, he's a good actor. He knows what he's doing.
There's a real twofer. Now in this whole scenario, the twofer
is norm Pattis. Who I know personally, and Norm Pattice. I
know from the radio business. You may know him as the reagent,
or is it a reagent or the reagent? I don't know from the
universal University of California school system. And
he's in trouble now.
Teresa, watch Nabil. Were you there on Wednesday when a band
of UC Berkeley students showed up to protest region Norman
Pattice and demand his resignation? Can you tell us
what that was? Like?
Yes, I was there. There were four women for Berkeley students
who got up and they demanded that the Regent Pattice resign.
For his actions involving a it wasn't a staff member, it was
actually a podcaster had Donald who was doing an ad for
a really, if you're gonna harass me, you really gotta go that low
on the show is wrong. I mean, you can't get anything better
than a podcast or norm Pattis 100 millionaire
seriously was, who is the name of the Don't worry, I got a
clip. Don't worry. Okay.
A podcaster Heather McDonald, who was doing an ad for a memory
foam bra. And recent patas went into the broadcast room and
joked that, you know, basically, Can I Can I hold your breath.
Anyway, he apologized at that time, the region subsequently
adopted a policy on residential misconduct, allowing them to
sanction regions who they believe engage in inappropriate
behavior.
Okay, so of course I have the recording because she was
recording a promo. Now norm Pattice he sold I want to say
Westwood one. Yes, Wes Westwood one. Huge, very, very, very
successful radio syndication company used to own but they
might even own some stations at some point and And so, you know,
he's, I think maybe also ran Sirius XM for a while. I mean
the guy is just super famous in the radio business and he
started and that's what I know him from from Z 100 in New York,
you know, the pompous asshole but that's, you know, a big he's
in the radio business. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. He also started
podcast one, which is this bullshit app with all kinds of
bowl Chrome.
Right, right, right. We talked about it on the show. Oh, yeah.
It's like, oh, yeah, we're
gonna get advertised. He's trying to replicate the radio
model. And we know the network can't be monetized. So here he
is walking in on Heather McDonald. Her show is called
juicy scoop. Her podcast, juicy scoop. You can just imagine that
the guy goes down the list like juicy scoop. Yeah. Let me see
what your looks like. Have you looked at her? Heather McDonald?
No. I think we should. I haven't looked at her. Actually. Let's
see. Um, see what kind of gal How old? Oh, yes. Yes, she Oh,
this is? I know her. She was on Chelsea Handler show.
I don't know if you want to admit it.
Yeah, no, that's she's a comedian.
Oh, she's a comedian. She shouldn't I thought that was
funny. Well, here we go.
And one day I was there. And I was at the end of my podcast, I
was doing all my ads. And because
you know, I'm a millionaire from my podcasts.
I see him walk into the booth. And I'm like, I say, hey, I want
to talk to you. But I lied. And I said, I have to go to a
meeting that she
she said she lied. That means that she was already
uncomfortable with his presence to
go to a meeting. And then he comes into the room where I'm
taping and I go well, I've got one more add to do let me just
get through it. And and I start to do the ad and this is what
happened. Oh, my god. I can't do I don't have any time. Hi. Now
we're just about to have my last dad. My last dad. Oh, hold on.
You're You're doing good. Oh, thank you.

background what is this show? Is this the University of
California show no one of his podcast one shows Yeah,

can't measure it properly there's no way to do it. But I
like the one where there's a lot of interest like meaning
advertise a lot of interest for your show. A lot of interest but
meanwhile what she's getting is bra ads you see so she This is
that's already offensive way

idea. I got it. We got a girl who likes to show her boobs. I
bet you we can get some bra ads. Work getting more interest in
the show. Okay. Good. All right. Let
me just do this really quick. Okay, you guys I love third
loves 24 slash seven t shirt bra because it's the most
comfortable bra that I've ever owned. And it's just super

the super smooth the
overall that I've ever owned, and it's just super smoothing
and it's invisible under every outfit which is great especially
when you're wearing a light t shirt which is so popular to

No, it did. It does give me a reason to play a classic movie
clip.
Okay, yes. I
brought a classic movie clip to the show today. Oh, yes. Okay.
And this is it's a mad mad world.
I can see America men have been totally emasculated. They're
like slaves. The guy like flies from calmly from poses. And this
positively infantile preoccupation with prisons. And
all my time in this wretched godforsaken country. The one
thing that is important, most of all, is this preposterous
preoccupation with persons and you realize that they become a
dominant theme in American culture, in literature,
advertising, and all single entertainment and everything.
I'll wager you anything you like, if American women stopped
wearing physeos Go home national economy would collapse
overnight.
Words so true.
There you go. Did you just see that movie? Or where
do you know someone saw one of our producers me the cloud? I
thought it was good. And I have just one more tie in to all of
this. Unless you have something else then No, I'm
pretty good. Okay. Well, I'm
going to wrap it up with more. And why is this not loading up
hello. Load.
New information is coming to light regarding Judge Roy
Moore's accusers and throws suspicion on their motivations
for accusing him. Former Alabama police officer Faye Geary
previously came forward claiming she was told to be on the
lookout for Judge more at school games. In her story, Gary claims
more was known to harass the cheerleaders at sporting events,
and even targeted female employees at the Gadsden Mall.
By the way, this is from one America news. Which is an odd
channel. Yeah, we've talked about it. It's an odd channel,
but they do. They do come up with some interesting reporting.
Their personalities are kind of iffy. Anyway,
yes own research revealed no truth behind the claims against
more at the mall. In fact, when we spoke to all employees, no
one there even knew anything about it. But new evidence has
emerged and suggests that fake Gary has a personal axe to grind
with Roy Moore. While Gary claims to have been a police
officer in the city of Gadsden. She also has a number of close
ties to the underground world of the illicit drug business. One
American news researched the case and found that in 2008 Her
son Cordero Gary was arrested for distributing drugs. But
before he could ever make it to trial, he was shot and killed.
Her other son, Tracy Jones is now in a federal prison for
distributing cocaine. And well Gary was supposedly working for
law enforcement those who knew her say they had to keep a tight
lipped when she was around. Apparently, Gary was well known
for leaking information about police and drug enforcement
activities to her drug dealing family. Matters get even more
personal when her brother Jimmy RIGHT comes into the picture.
Right was also big in the drug business and was arrested for
distributing controlled substances back in 1981. The
prosecutor for that case, Roy Moore. Not only that, but more
would go on to make another potentially powerful enemy out
of Richard Hagh Dorn, a criminal and convicted drug dealer who
was caught with over two pounds of cocaine. When Hank Doran got
out of prison, he came before a judge more on contempt charges
because he owed back alimony and child support. Judge more ruled
against him on May 18 1994 for contempt, Hak Dorn was fined
$50,000, and is still paying back alimony and child support
to this day. But more interesting than his convictions
are his relations. Richard's brother is none other than David
hag Doran, a longtime editor for The Washington Post. The same
post that broke the story about more alleged involvement with
underage girls nearly 40 years ago. There you go.
Well, what are you gonna do?
That's some interesting connections. Yeah, that
was pretty well done. Yeah, and fine. And but that's, you know,
this
is rinky dink Cable News Now. work and I'm I'm surprised that
no one else's even Fox you know where are they shouldn't be
latching on to this story. Oh so bogus,
folks. Fox doesn't care. No, no, I think you're right. I don't
trust anything.
I'm sorry. Well, you know,
anything that comes from the Washington Post?
Well, it's hard to. But you know, Jeff Bezos, he's the man.
So you know, how can we argue with that?
I'm gonna show my school but donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be funny
both to continue our policy of being the show from hell. That's
what this one is. I stupidly closest spreadsheet and I don't
know why or when it just disappeared.
Oh, it's gone. I can start while you figure that out if you want.
Yeah, go ahead. Okay. We have a few people that think yes, we
do. And but actually, that's how I've I've done everything wrong.
Now I supposed to say is John C. Dvorak are supposed to thank
everybody.
Oh, yeah, you didn't do that. You left out the fake intro.
This is what happens. We go out and we take two shows off and
use a format is blown. It's completely ruined. I can't drive
the train. Well, let me say the morning to you John C or the C
stands for lesser F Devorah. Ag
burning money you Mr. Adam. Korean minimizer Mr. C boots on
the ground, feet in the air. Suddenly, we're all people in
Great Britain. I'm John C. Dvorak and dame's in the
Knights. Thank you.
Morning, everybody in the troll room. Thank you all for showing
up. No agenda stream.com. And now I can't remember offhand who
the previous two artists were for the artwork for our Best of
Show, which again, we want to thank sir Ramsay Kane. Yes.
People love that show. Yeah, no, I liked I loved it, too. They
liked the Ranjit Ramsay cane when but when I was, you know,
they meet up because the show had played before the meet up.
Yeah, they were talking about what a great show. It was a
Thank You said thank you guys for doing that.
200 the show X you mean? Yeah, show X.
They love show X. Yeah, Tina,
I listened to it. She's like, wow, this is I learned a lot of
things.
Yeah. So I guess what happened was that this was kind of a
joint idea, but I kind of credit it to you for confirming my
thoughts on this, which is, we were doing these shows these
extra the 200 series. And we kept just overlaying more new
stuff and taking some stuff. Actually not taking anything
out. Just adding to it. It's about three hours. And somebody
says it's like an onion. You know, you we can't I can't
follow it. Right. And so you said, I was thinking but you
said let's do the whole show. Let's do a show a new one. And
in fact, I realized it was probably saved me an hour or two
of editing.
Yeah, cuz you did all you did all do all that.
Yeah. So it worked out.
Do you have your spreadsheet by now? So and also yes, no agenda
generator.com That's we can go to share your art love with us
and we need to you know, then we take two shows off and there's
almost no art there's no art for the pre stream. Everything's
breaking down. It's like crazy. We got to get back in a groove
back.
Yeah, well, hopefully we will eventually move a couple of
things around and I'm ready to rock All right. Okay. Starting
with Sir Truman in Provo, Utah 500 bucks. By the way this is
for people out there listening does actually for three shows.
Yeah, but it turns out to be about as long as it is for one
show.
This is another problem with taking taking two shows off
well, we were we were our numbers were slipping anyway.
And so I figured Yeah, take some time off. Promo 500 bucks. Dear
John anatomy of giving thanks for your show. Your analysis
insight and humor provides calm and sanity. I have twin sons 17
that have grown up listening to your show last year one of my
sons came to me literally hyperventilating after watching

daughter of Teresa and MIT. We had nine people nice. And she's

Oh, surely you advised her not to do anything of the kind? I
didn't say anything. That was why sound wise man yes. Very
well.

unbelievable cockney accent. And she's got a perfect British you
know, proper accent. I found that to be on you. Interesting.
Yes.
How do they get along?
They don't. I recently enjoyed meeting your family that block.
Thank you Mimi for reminding me to get my act together on the
nights rings. John, could you ask me to name the book she

group thinking they recommended it to me what book is that like

time with the closure of Oxford Street tube station we talked

There you go. That's our donation segment. Hey, you know,
we do have to keep the show working. I know a lot of people
are saving up for sure. 1000, though. I have a feeling they
are think. Yes. Yeah. I think it's now become a thing where
let's see how long we can make Adam and John do this. Funny
let's all team up. See, this is the only this is the only
weakness in our model. With the advertiser the advertising
model, you boycott the advertisers, you shame the
advertisers. You know, you can get someone off the air easily,
easily. It's the third rail of mainstream media. This they can
just wear us down to the bone.
Yeah, well, and we just died a show proves that.
Now please think about supporting us for our show
coming up on Sunday. You can do that. for.org/in A and we're
back so you can let everybody know it's time to propagate the
formula. Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the
mouth shut up slang. We were with someone talking about Black
Pete in the in the donation segment there. Yeah. Black
Pete, the white knight of Cambridge. Yeah.
So I'd like to play this clip for you.
This is a Black Pete related.
It is Black Pete related. For those who don't know, Black Pete
is the yes, the st. Nicholas's helper, this was a Dutch custom.
And for several 100 years, he's been coming in his steamboat
around December 1, because on December 5, he and his black
Pete's, we as a white horse, they gallop around on the
rooftop sound familiar? But the black piece they go down the
chimney. And, you know
if if the cover was suit suit, and thus they're black? No,
that's not at all. Why they're black. They were Moors, the red
this isn't this is supposedly a real guy, you know, St.
Nicholas, and he helped the Moors. And so these were Moors
and they were REALLY dark black. And that's the that's the true
reason behind it because it's a historical fictional kind of
celebration.
But don't the Dutch were blackface? Well, yes,
the Dutch were blackface but in the context of the Dutch it has
nothing to do with with blackface as we know it here is
a racist. Minstrel shows nothing to do with minstrel shows
whatsoever. So
by the way, blacks were blackface in minstrel shows.
That's our starting Raizy
crazy. So in Canada Navia. There's, as you can imagine,
there's Dutch shops and this is a Dutch shop who have have had
to cancel their traditional Sinterklaas and Black Pete
celebration at the store. And because everyone's aware of it
now and this all is is racist. What's this racist stuff going
on? And I really like it when this dish people are speaking
English, especially with Canadian accents. Great.
It's not racist, right to Pete as a boy was a mower from Spain.
And they were dark skinned. And St. Nicholas took him in and
took care of them. Right and
I'm not handled up sleeves. Yeah, he's helpers. And I'm very
upset. A little disturbed his children's tradition. For so
many years.
He will disturb this children's tradition for so many years.
It's
a Yiddish accent in there.
Well that is a little bit of it. But she's very disturbed by it
all
so many years. It has been going on. I mean, I was blown up in
the class and swept up and it was fantastic. And now that
I was brought off, it was fantastic with the black face.
What's your problem?
And that was fantastic. Trying to get away with this. It's
unbelievable.
Can you see why? From the outside? When you look at that?
I
cannot see this. No, of course they see it as black People as
person discrimination, but it's not the assimilation. It's
not discrimination. I tell you. I love the Dutch Hello,
this is part of the EU homogenization process. Oh,
yes. And there's big stuff going on in, in Canada Navia. You
know, they're trying to introduce this the anti
discrimination bill. Yeah. What was it called again? I forget
what it's called. I don't remember. It's like a big one.
And so Whopper Yeah. And it'd be pretty much illegal to, to say
anything like, Hey, you fag. You're gonna go to jail. Jail.
Yeah, I mean, that's just really the man just paraphrasing it.
But that's kind of the way it feels. And that's the way I hear
people talking about it. And so, Trudeau I've got a multi clip
the very short clips of multi year multi bit here, which
mature Haley scenting, which is really appreciated as he sat
through all this. And I mean, this is this, the Trudeau is now
the top dog number one social justice warrior in the New World
Order. And he's really all over it. So apparently there was
there was number one guy Yeah, apparently there was something
called the purge back in the 50s or the 60s. And they were trying
to get gays out of just out of sight. In Canada. Don't know
this. Yeah, you should look it up. Look up the purge, gay
purge. And he was a part of the introduction of this bill. He's
bringing back this history. And apologizing,
Mr. Speaker, today we acknowledge an often overlooked
part of Canada's history. Today, we finally talk about Canada's
role in systemic oppression, criminalization and violence
against the Lesbian, Gay Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and
Two Spirit community
to spirit
they rousting the two spirits Yeah,
they killed Tupac too you know it's like two spirits gum and
then forgot intersects which is the new world order term you
suppose to be? GB LGBTI we know this is what the United Nations
has determined. So any deviation from that is racist.
Intersex have to do with beastie ality.
I hope so. Did you look it up the purge?
I'm looking Yeah, apparently this is a good one. Canada is
now going to offer $85 million to victims of its gay per
now tell us give us the background on the purge. I'm
sure there's a wiki page. Let me know we can probably
time so as the there won't be any good information in here,
but let me start reading it. The Canadian government pay up to
210 million Canadian dollars or 85 million US dollars to
compensate.
me laughing about the dollar reds That's not nice.
Gay purge decades of government authorized discrimination
against gay Canadians announcement on Tuesday follow
the speech in the House by Trudeau who apologized to the
victims. The government program which lasted for more than 30
years, and ended only in the 1990s caused 1000s to lose their
jobs and sometimes face prosecution because of their
sexual orientation. The police, the policy affected Canadians in
the military, the public services and the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police. Government also introduced legislation to
expunge unjust convictions.
Wow. So who are they gonna give this money to to descendants of
or that maybe these people are still around? I must be pretty
against
yourself still ran because it just ended in the 1990s.
Wow. All right. Here's the timeline of what happened.
From the 1950s. To the early 1990s. The Government of Canada
exercised its authority in a cruel and unjust manner,
undertaking a campaign of oppression against members and
suspected members of the LGBTQ community. The goal was to
identify these workers throughout the public service
including the Foreign Service, the military, and the RCMP and
persecute them. You see, the thinking of the day was it all
non heterosexual Canadians would automatically be at increased
risk of blackmail by our adversaries due to what was
called character weakness. This thinking was prejudiced and
flawed. Sadly, what resulted nothing short of a witch hunt
Scandinavians very bad yeah. So I just had to look it up to
spirit. If you're to spirit refers t u, t, w o refers to
refers to a person who has both a masculine and feminine spirit
go figure and is used by some First Nations people is that
engines to describe their sexual gender and or spiritual
identity. It's
about the fifth thing you said that would have gotten us fired.
I know. I love it. I'm enjoying my job so much. If only I can
get norm Pattis to harass this podcaster Oh, you can Oh, you
can cut my breasts just pay me. So there you go to spit. That's,
I mean, that seems like do they have a large indigenous First
Nations People's Community? Kind of? I don't want to get fired
now. No, you got me all conscious? Do they have a big
Two Spirit community in Canada?
I don't know. Sounds like a scam. All right.
So they were they were so into this, the Canadians at the time.
They had gaydar, a real gaydar,
the public service, the military, and the RCMP spied on
their own people inside and outside of workplaces. During
this time, the federal government even dedicated
funding to an absurd device known as the fruit machine, a
failed technology that was supposed to measure homosexual
attraction.
I mean, I will pay good money for one of these devices. I want
you by the way, at the end of this clip of the day, no doubt
about it.
I'm gonna take it right now.
Anything that talks about the fruit machine?
I mean, what is this box? I need? I need to see what this
is. This sounds fabulous. The fruit machine failed technology.
And interesting that, you know, Google images or what was that?
What was that? Ai deep learning project or so this guy is gay.
This guy's gay. We actually have that technology now. Remember
that from? Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. So he's apologizing. It
is real shame
for him.
And sorrow and deep regret. For the things we have done. That I
stand here today and say, We were wrong. We apologize. I am
sorry. We are sorry.
We are sorry. mean what what was coming down on him that he had
to go through such great lengths to apologize for this at some
pressure groups, they were really going to nail it to you a
bunch of gay haters. What was going on?
He's gay.
Okay, so one thing for sure. They don't set it up the way the
politicians in the lower half of North America do.
You know, we got this pretty generous offer by the Canadians.
What? To just throw away 110 million Canadian dollars that
the to make up for this. You know, the screw job. I have two
people probably committed suicide. Who knows? I don't
know, the story of this. I didn't never heard of this. I
hadn't
heard of it either. But here's the problem. Maybe none of no
one in the audience even heard of this. Because you know, when
you're doing this kind of speech, there are what we call
applause moments, right? Yeah, you want to use and you pause
and then sometimes people who don't who don't have the right
stage presence will say, but that was an applause moment.
Because no one clapped. Yeah, so that's an applause please clap.
Please. Please clap. Yes. Jeb Bush applause moment. Thank you
to those who wanted to serve but never got the chance because of
who you are. You should have been permitted to serve your
country. You were stripped of that option. We are sorry. We
were wrong. Please, wow. That
one gay guy in the back. Let's hear that again.
You were stripped of that option? We are sorry. We were
wrong.
The curry Devorah Consulting Group remains available for any
politician who wants to have a successful media event. Because
he's got the money. He's got a big bag of dough. He's got you
know, he's gay, as you said. So he's you know, they tossed out
the gaydar and these apologize you need to
need something they need shells. You know there's nothing wrong I
want people to do expensive public speaking and you really
want a minute believe things you have to have shells guess you
have about a 40 did well you don't need that many you can
usually do a 10. But you have about 10 or maybe more people in
the audience that you brought in and they start clapping at
certain key spots and, and one of them maybe go whoop, or
something. And, and they start all clapping when they get to
maybe they can jump to their feet. If they're on the front.
You can maybe set off a standing Oh, it's possible. Yeah, or the
wave. Yeah, but if you're just gonna have one lone guy back
there the back, you know, yeah.
So wrong. So Berberich your brand. Okay, I have a couple
more just Erin clips from this. Although I don't know if that
any is funny. You asked about intersex
there are still real struggles facing these communities,
including for those who are intersex, queer people of color
than others suffer from intersectional discrimination.
I want to have a T shirt that says intersectional other.
Yeah, you need that? Yeah. Especially in Austin.
You know, Tim and I were talking last night. We'll get to this
later in the show. The homeless problem is growing with leaps
and bounds here in downtown Los Yeah, both employment leaps and
bounds. And, you know, the things that the city is
concerned with, compared to you know, the homeless people who
are homeless, it's off kilter. I really like it was really if if
it gets much you can't just walk to the store without people
begging me if it's not the damn students, you know, shilling for
Save the Children Planned Parenthood, etc, which they know
nothing about, because it's just hired to do to hold up an iPad
and the homeless, it's not even fun to walk around anymore.
No, you can't you have to pay tolls, in fact, is almost
impossible in some areas.
It's tolls, it's exhibit. You're exactly right. Hey, you want to
pass by this part of the sidewalk? You gotta pay me tow?
You gotta pay the toll troll. Yeah, tall turtles. There we go.
That's
a good. Well, they used to have those guys in the Middle Ages.
They'd be standing in some little pathway where you had to
go to get through to the other side. You have to go through the
passes, guys. Okay, isn't that
what trolls Did? Didn't they sit under the bridge, you had to pay
the troll, or families roll to the cross the bridge, I thought.
All right, what action will be taken by Mr. Trudeau and his
government.
Further, I am pleased to announce that over the course of
the weekend, we reached an agreement in principle with
those involved in the class action lawsuit for actions
related to the purge. The Purge, never again, will Canada's
government be the source of so much pays for members of the
LGBTQ to communities?
To Okay, well, thank you very much. I'm in a Numerology. And
we always pay attention to numerology. Certainly, if
there's a three and a 333 is a good number. But I don't know
what's going on with this. But it was an interesting sequence.
And maybe we can decode it,
the kids are listening at home, a new fear of rejection because
of their sexual orientation, or their gender identity and
expression. That to those who are nervous and scared, but also
excited about what their future might hold. We are all worthy of
love and deserving of respect. Whether you discover your truth
at six at 16 or at 60. Who you are is valid
616 or 60. Yeah, that's odd. Have you ever heard that
sequence? No. I mean, it'd be from kids from nine to 92 as a
song goes Milton Bradley games three to 300 You know, that kind
of stuff? Yeah, but it was just like a whole bunch of sixes.
Yeah. And that's if you notice
how many words what was the total number of sixes if you
just took the sixes out? What would you have? 666. The Beast?
Can the Navia is the mark of the beast. Wow. What's up with that?
I think there's something
here is pretty so it's pretty self evident.
Okay, I'm listening.
Trudeau is the is the the Antichrist. Nice.
That's right. We thought it was Obama. That was that was just
racist thinking. It's the white Obama who was the was the
Antichrist. Yeah, wrong with us.
Take six six as you said it right there.
Let's wrap it up. Boom, count one, two, the
trailblazers who have lived and struggled and to those who have
fought so hard To get us to this place. Thank you for your
courage. Thank you for lending your voices. I hope and I know
that you look back on all you have done with pride. I just had
to do that for the ISO thank you for your courage. Nice.
Exactly. Are your courage.
I know we score that no agenda shows
for your courage.
Nice. So kind of wacky just putting that all together, you
know, the fruit machine the 666 What is he trying to say?
I don't know. But if I was a Canadian, I'd move out. United
States. Come home. Listen, you're
right, please. You're welcome here. Come on in. Not a problem.
So if you heard I got a job to change the topic. If you heard
that somebody was a graduate in international studies, studies
lived in Los Angeles as a young, young young woman. International
Studies in Los Angeles, Toronto, interned in Argentina is a
member of the United Nations entity for gender equality,
empowerment of women as an advocate works.
One buzzkill Jr's wife.
No. No, she's a she's into making cheese and chocolate,
chocolate cheese. I tell you, not a graduate of International
Studies yet. One Young World The annual summit in Dublin big
speaker, they're gonna get gets around. Young One Young World
seminar what do you what we is there any possibility that that
would be a spook?
I would say let me think yes. Is that okay? Is there a clip
associated with this?
Yeah, there's a clip. And it has a lot to do with. That's a
description of Megan Markel. Okay, who's now going to marry
Prince Harry.
Ah, thank you. Now I know where you're going. Okay.
Now I'm looking at this as a joint venture between the CIA
and MI six. This is big. So let's listen to the two of them
talk about their love for each other in this clip. Megan.
Harry.
Is this Megan Harry top news? Yep. Okay.
Sorry. A few weeks ago, this month here at our cottage. The
standard typical night for
the night it was we're doing just roasting chicken and
chicken and it was just just an amazing surprise. It was so
sweet and, and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee.
Instant Yes. From you? Yes. As a matter of fact, I could barely
let you finish proposing us. Can I say yes. Now
she didn't even let me finish. That it was hard with him. I had
the ring in my finger. And I was like, I'm gonna give you the
ring. She was already. There was a really nice moment of just the
two of us. And I think I managed to catch catch her by surprise
as well. That's the first met, we were introduced actually, by
a mutual friend, who
we will we should protect our privacy.
And, but it was it was literally it was through her. And then we
met once and then twice back to back two dates in London. Last
July, yes, beginning of July. And then it was I think about
three, maybe four weeks later that I managed to persuade her
to come and join me in Botswana. And we as one does. And we went
out with each other under the stars. And we spent one and for
five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic. So then we
were really by ourselves, which I which was crucial to me to
make sure that we had a chance to get to know each other.
Because I'm from the States you don't grow up with the same
understanding of of the royal family. And so while I now
understand very clearly, there's a global interest there. I
didn't know much about him. And so the only thing that I had
asked her when she said she wanted to set us up was I had
one question I said, Well, is he nice? Because if he wasn't kind,
it just didn't. It didn't seem like it would make sense. And so
we went and had a met for a drink. And then I think very
quickly into that we said, well, what are we doing tomorrow? We
should meet again.
What are we doing tomorrow? Let's meet again. And then it
was like write diaries really to get the diaries out and find out
how we're going to make this work because I was off to Africa
for a month. She was working and we're just as white as where's
the gap? And the gap happened to be the perfect place. A spa the
spoon, spot to spoon. Everybody wants to spot the spoon yet.
Damn, Johnny. Thank you honest.
Maybe I knew no, there's a couple of things I'll say
because I've been following these two. And it's funny that's
covered better here than it is over there.
Yeah, you mean to spook angle or just in general and
spooking your angles only covered on the no agenda? Okay,
just checking to make sure we're unique. But the total news
content seems to be less over elbow over there. They're more
critical of her because she's half black. And and they're so
they're racist about it, even though when you watch the tool,
Mr. And her in particular, they really are an attractive couple.
And she's gorgeous. She has a very good looking woman. Yeah.
And, and he's a great looking guy. So that mean, this is the
kind of the mutual seduction club. Yeah, they leave out the
name of the person that put them together for some reason, and
they may go, which was going to protect your privacy. Really?
Yeah. So there's something very fishy about the whole thing. But
there
and I liked that because that's clearly the connector, the
handler you know, whatever.
Yeah, something like that. So there's a a handler involved and
put the two of them together for I don't know what the point of
the whole thing is. Maybe they actually did a lot of people are
very racist about this, but other people are looking at the
positive side, which is that the royal family blood is inbred too
much.
But that's what they said about Diana and we need to get some
fresh blood in there. And it didn't turn out well for
everybody.
Well, they got some fresh blood this time that's got that's a
little more as they put it in some references is very exotic.
Yeah. And I think it's gonna be a it's a cute couple of very
interesting see how they compete with the other cute couple.
Well, good. I mean, we need some of the gossip about and you need
something to follow Royals. And we need a jingle now then we can
make a complete the Royals. Royals. Yeah.
Onward to less spooky stuff. Did you get the what do you think
about your play my play my Pocahontas clip, which came at
the end, they're talking about the all the all the stories
about sexual misconduct. And they of course, they had this
PBS, they have to bring Trump into it again with a discussion
with Elizabeth Warren and and the I guess they were talking
about the consumer protection agency. Let's
just say that that was one of the funniest things I've ever
seen. When When Trump turned to the Navajo code talkers, and I
know what he's trying to say, but he's gonna He's a moron. He
can't speak. The man can't communicate what he's trying to
say is you guys great isn't horrible that this is woman
who's impersonating you, which of course is completely
inappropriate at the time. Yeah, completely inappropriate, but
and I just, I can't help but laugh like, holy crap. Now. I'm
in a hole for laughing about it. And I don't care about the
country. But I just, it's cheese. There's plenty of humor.
But here's the part that gets me is play the clip and then I'll
discuss it stay centered
earlier today. President Trump at a ceremony honoring Navajo
Code Talkers again, derisively referred to you as Pocahontas.
Do you have any response to the President's comments?
This was supposed to be a ceremony honoring Native
Americans who had done incredible work on behalf of the
United States that had saved countless lives. Both of people
in the United States and people are allies around the world.
This was a moment to honor them to honor their heroism, and
Donald Trump just couldn't make it through without adding a
racist slur to the event. I know he thinks that somehow doing
that is going to shut me up. But it had worked in the past and
it's sure not going to work in the future.
It was pretty much the same. She said on every single interview,
you can you pass you are human, we can defeat you. And then she
makes a racial slur without seeing that concept. And
I'm not I don't I don't isn't Pocahontas a fictional
character?
No, I think it's a real person. Okay. And she became I believe,
if I'm not mistaken, she actually moved to England change
her name to Rebecca. I believe I could be wrong,
right. I heard that everywhere. And I didn't quite understand
either. racial slur,
racial slur. It's a name. Yeah. Like I started calling you Ben.
Dude, that's racial slur.
Yeah. He's like a random racial racial slur.
Yeah, no, I'm not accepting that. But just the whole you
know, first of all, yeah,
yeah, Trump beat can he has
on one hand, please chill Please stop doing that and the other
hand, I love it.
He can't stop doing it. He's never gonna stop doing it. It
just goes
it can't stop it. It's yeah. Well there is something that I
believe to be totally bogus and I think it was a setup and
Trump's in on it and it stinks and I don't like it so we have
this missile launch now you know there was it was very odd comes
out of nowhere but more importantly everybody has
details MSNBC in particular but everybody has details you know
oh when it could go up higher this could land right and
they'll Japan's I
have I have a pretty complete report we should play then you
can finish this because you're right. Okay. This is from PBS,
which I think is fairly objective. It doesn't get
carried away is the Dr. Kay new missile launch GDPR.
North Korea test a new missile rattling nerves in Asia and here
in Washington, William Branham has the story.
The North Korean news anchor hailed the latest launch
delivering a statement from the nation's leader on state TV.
Kim Jong Hoon declared with pride that now we have finally
realized the great historic cause of completing the state
nuclear force you know the cause of building Rocket Power.
The broadcast showed an image of Kim signing the order to launch
the new missiles, dubbed the hos song 15 flew further than any
North Korean rocket had before. It soared to an altitude of
nearly 2800 Miles then dove into the Sea of Japan within what's
known as Japan's exclusive economic zone. That means if
shot on a flatter trajectory, the missile could have flown
some 8000 Miles reaching Washington DC. It remains
unclear if the North Koreans have figured out how to either
fit a nuclear warhead onto the missile or created one that
could survive reentry into Earth's atmosphere. But on the
streets of the capital Pyongyang, North Koreans played
their dutiful part cheering the announcement.
The missile launch has brought us another victory. Our
successes once more crack down on the US which is unable to see
its coming death.
South Korea responded with its own drill firing off missiles to
the sea and President Moon Jae In spoke with President Trump by
phone. His spokesman said he'd warned the situation could get
out of control.
President Moon stressed that we should prevent the situation in
which North Korea misjudges the current situation of nuclear
weapons or a situation in which the US takes into consideration
preemptive
strikes will Congress and
Mr. Trump also spoke by phone with Chinese President Zhi Jing
ping. Afterward, Mr. Trump tweeted the new sanctions on the
North would be forthcoming. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said G
is gravely concerned. This afternoon the UN Security
Council held another emergency meeting on the North's continued
defiance of UN resolutions is defeat.
All right. So that is a good clip and it is very impartial.
But they got all the same information from the Defense
Department as everybody else got hold on. Whenever we're talking
about the missile, we have to from time to time just like
wanna fire it off. Yeah, just in a natural break where I'm like,
you know, so we're talking about this missile that North Korea I
mean, that's how you do it. Yeah. Now, we know from
firsthand information from my uncle, that you know what North
Korea is really about. He's been to North Korea eight times in
the past 15 years. He was ambassador to South Korea. He
believes Dennis Rodman knows more about Kim Jong Un and North
Korea than anyone in the entire State Department or the White
House. And the bottom line is they just want to be recognized
as a real country. They don't want arm assist, they just want
to be their own country do their own thing. And that is not being
done for the military industrial complex. It is every single time
they'd like some it's a sales job to someone. And in addition,
we want to maintain our military force in the region because
China, it's that simple. Trump is in on this this time, and and
I will continue to condemn Him for this bullcrap. Because
disappointing. Everybody was doing this. Every president has
used little North Korea to get you know, military funding sales
jobs and Okay. Maybe he's looking at it from a macro
perspective and saying, you know, this is good for the
economy. So I'll I'll use the same damn trick. And because we
know he can't speak in public, certainly not off the cuff. He
gives it all away in his response here. Well, as you
said, Katie, we have confirmation now that this was a
North Korean. Sorry, wrong clip. Here we go. That was a good
setup to fail. Here we go.
As you probably have heard, and some of you have reported did a
missile was launched a little while ago from North Korea, I
will tell you that we will take care of it. We have General
Mattis in the room with us, and we've had a long discussion on
it. It is a situation that we will handle. With that being
said, Chuck Schumer and
there's the pivot right away. There's the pivot. He can't do
it any other way. He has to immediately tie it into the
entire reason for this bullcrap.
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi did not show up for a meeting
today. I'm not really that surprised. We have a lot of
differences that we call on crime. Then we call on illegal
immigration, they want the illegal folks to come pouring
into our border and a lot of problems are being caused to
although we've stopped it to a large extent as much as you can
without the wall, which we're going to get
this by the way is this is him again, not sticking to the
topic. He's off on his wall, all this bull crap. And as he
must've given me as a shot, caller and like, Okay, can we
get back to the topic here for a second? Oh, yeah, I remember a
sales job. They,
before this meeting, and before this missile launch, they'd been
weak on military in terms of spending very hard to get
familiar. They want it for a lot of other things. But the
military is always secondary to them. The military to me is
number one, we won't be here without our powerful military,
and we're building it up stronger, bigger, better than
ever before. And General Managers can testify to that. So
they decided not to show up. They've been all talk and
they've been
that's another thing when someone's doing a sales job. And
Blum used to do this to me all the time. We got Adam curry here
and then keep talking. And Adam can attest to that. Keep
talking. Don't Don't let me say anything. And Mattis was the
atom in this one. He just didn't go. Right. You know what I mean?
Yeah, it's told us this is a sales job. He's selling the
American public in the world on the more money for the military,
which the Democrats are blocking,
then when building another stronger, bigger better than
ever before in general manage can testify to that. So they
decided,
did he say a testify?
Back and then he did general manage can testify, nice?
testify
or testify? This would be like, in the church, everybody? Yes.
Brothers and sisters and testify.
Why didn't Well,
he doubles down at the very end, we're almost done.
So they decided not to show up. They've been all talk and
they've been no action. And now it's even worse. Now. It's not
even talk. So they're not showing up for the meeting. I
will say this in light of the missile launch. Probably they'll
be here fairly quickly, or at least discussions will start
taking place fairly quickly.
Yeah. Set up that he gave it all away. And it's disappointing.
Well, I think Kelly must have the time of his life trying to
control this character.
I don't think he can control them at all. No,
it does look like it. In fact, that's why we came up with the
next topic. At least the one I want to head toward, which is
retweet gate.
Yes, yeah. I
did a little research for it. So then Trump today retweeted anti
Muslim videos posted by the leader of a far right extremist
party in Britain. tweets were widely condemned even by the
President's political allies British Prime Minister Theresa
May, and television hosts Piers Morgan, who won Mr. Trump's
Celebrity Apprentice Mark Phillips reports from London.
Christian crossties.
She's an admitted agitator from the far right anti immigrant
fringe of British politics, who's already been convicted of
religious hate crimes and provoking Muslims where they
live is what she does. And now Donald Trump has done Jada
Frandsen a huge favor. Was this a good day for you?
Very good day indeed.
Early this morning, the President retweeted three old
largely discredited videos that France and had dug up. One her
Britain first party claims shows extremists throwing somebody off
a roof. It turned out to be a fight between rival political
factions in Egypt and a crime for which the perpetrators were
sentenced to death. Another showed a jihadist fighter
destroying a Christian statue, and a third claim to show an
Islamic immigrant in the Netherlands attacking a Dutch
boy on crutches. It turns out both the attacker and victim
were born and bred in Holland. The content of the videos is
suspect, but the message is clear.
I think the issue here that we need to have The main on is that
Islam has threatened the world for far too long.
And that said, White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee
Sanders is why the President did what he did.
Whether it's it's a real video, the threat is real. And that is
what the President is talking about.
Now, a couple of things, I believe that this story is
designed to is just because some hints about about CBS in
particular CIA, I don't think that they really are a pro
Muslim, Muslim organization by any means. And I think this
report was actually a white supremacist report promoting it.
If this story was a non story, and if these guys and what
they've done is they've really given a lot of attention. I'm
talking about this network CBS, they've given a lot of attention
to this woman in England, who had something like 40,000
followers, I think, and now she's got over a million Yeah.
And they've given a lot of attention to this and they and
they everybody's done the same thing, but they've always
couched it in oh my god, this is so terrible. And here's what
happened. And then they show you this guy throwing a guy off the
roof and all the you know, some of this stuff, everything short
of the head chopping, which they used to promote all the time
too. But that has been kind of disappeared. So they need some
new head chopping stuff to get everybody they hate the Muslims.
Yeah. Now it gets even worse when you take a look at I see
that clip I think was the retweet controversy. Jews hate
Muslims on CBS. They ABC has this ABC business retweet gate
ABC. Okay.
A vote is coming very soon traveling to St. Louis today.
But overshadowing his push a series of tweets today
inflammatory videos, one proven false, and the White House
saying whether the videos are real or not. It doesn't matter.
ABCs chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl.
The president today avoided questions about the extremist
videos. He retweeted videos that have provoked an international
backlash.
Mr. President, why have you been retweeting anti Muslim videos.
The three videos were originally posted by a tiny anti Islam
Ultra nationalist party called Britain first, a group known for
hate filled incitement. they purport to show Muslims engaged
in violent acts. In a blunt statement, the Office of British
Prime Minister Theresa May, perhaps America's closest ally,
condemn the President for his tweets, saying the group Britain
first seeks to divide communities through their use of
hateful narratives which peddle lies and Stoke tensions. It is
wrong for the President to have done this but White House press
secretary Sarah Sanders defended the tweets
it's important to talk about national security and national
security threats
the White House insists this is about strong borders
anyway so now here's what what gives me the idea that these
promote these are promotional to promote this is group and to
promote the anti Muslim hate and I say that because the one
element of these tweets which are because they're they're
questionable, there's one of them was the guys were being
thrown off a roof was to two military groups, militant groups
fighting each other and some guy got thrown off the roof they all
got thrown in jail. That was an Egypt the smashing of the icon
of the Virgin Mary is like so they do that all the time. So
it's not really
and by the way, those those are often bogus statues.
Yes. And that didn't look very real statue either lucid made a
plaster for the heresy bar inside No, no, it's just it was
cheesy. And then the other one which you which they left out to
point it was probably a Muslim kid beaten up somebody but it's
beside the point but that kid was was arrested. So all these
so but here's what this these are they amount to what specific
thing Trump's always bitching about and none of these networks
turn this around because they could have but they didn't. They
none of them turn it around and say hey, fake news, right? Where
this is fake news. Trump always no, I
heard I heard some on MSNBC saying fake news.
Well, they're the only ones because I never heard it on the
big networks. I think that this was a promotion and and now in
the worst part about it was we had this the retweet clip, this
one's going to be the Jew in the Muslim. on PBS. We have a
situation on PBS. Again, the news are doing what I bitched
about constantly is they're gonna bitch about these retweets
and some retweets why How is this even news? All the
president retweeted some bogus story who hasn't done that?
Anyway? It's of interest today. Yeah, go play because here's the
way here's what we're dealing with, which is always on PBS
NewsHour, two guys that bring Kemp have to talk about it. Both
of them on this same side of the argument southern Trump
today retweeted anti Muslim videos posted by the leader this
one. So Ron clip, this is retweet gate Jew and the Muslim
says muslin. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That was the CBS one.
Majority played actually. Okay, got it.
Sorry. Here we go.
Jonathan Greenberg, what was your reaction when you saw the
President's retweets?
Well, I think all of us were fairly stunned to see the
retweets. The fact of the matter was extremists already feel
emboldened because the President has repeatedly equivocated in
the unequivocal whether it's after Charlottesville or any
number of other incidents,
I equivocated the unequivocal just the
other night. Now. Which clip was that?
It's not done yet.
No, no, but there was that retweet gay Jew in the Muslim.
Yeah, Maslin on a retweet, eight PBS discussion,
no retweet gay Jew in the muslin on PBS Muslim. Yes,
play the retweet gay PBS discussion. That's the one where
it brings this point up. Okay.
What he's done and said, not only in his own country, but
now, you know, getting involved in the debate here. He's
normalizing hatred.
And in a statement, a spokesman for British Prime Minister
Theresa May said, it is wrong for the President to have done
this formal but White House press secretary Sarah Sanders
tweets, she acknowledged they may be misleading.
Whether it's it's a real video the threat is real. And that is
what the President is talking about them home. Sanders
also said Prime Minister May and other world leaders know that
these are real threats. For more I'm joined now by Rizwan giacca
he runs interfaith and government relations for the all
Dallas area Muslim society, or Adams Center, second largest
mosque in the United States. It's located in Virginia, and
Jonathan Greenblatt, he's the CEO and national director of the
anti Defamation League, a civil rights group, he served on the
staff of the Obama White House. Okay, welcome
both of you.
Now, the point is, we have two guys that are gonna go, why
don't think it has to be somebody that can rationalize or
at least take the precedent side in this debate and say, well, he
does a lot of stupid reach we or he does this. He does that make
sense? You know, he saw these things. He's just a guy just
like anybody else on Twitter. I mean, there's nobody ever given
the opportunity
is probably worse. I think no one wants the job. Like, I don't
want to go defend that crap. Sarah Huckabee already has to do
I will? I will. I will argue against that. Because there's so
many people that would do anything to get on television.
Yes. There's plenty of guys on the list that the producers have
and they call them Oh, can you make can you go and talk about
this about that? In this from this perspective? They have 100
people that would at least done few of them would say, Yeah,
sure. I can do that.
You could even get a Muslim to talk about it. I can see I can
see.
Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, I agree. So they don't do that.
So it's a it's propaganda broadcast system.
Exactly. PBS, the propaganda broadcast system. This has
gotten much, much worse over the last few years since eyeful
died. Yeah. And I get hooked by it. I don't like to see that.
There's no debate here. You get two guys taking the same exact
side of an argument. And they're just, it's just piling on. You
know, it's not journalism.
You know, I hear Matt Lauer is available. Maybe he could, he
could fill it in and do the pro Trump's I
ate my point. Yes.
Well, meanwhile, there was actual news regarding immigrants
in the Euro zones. And that would have been
tweetable. Well, this attack took place in the small western
German town of Altona. It's a town that's taken in more
refugees than we're asked of it from central government here in
Berlin. Its Mayor Andreas Hollstein, who was the target of
this attack has spoken out publicly in the past about the
need for German towns and for his town in particular to do
more for refugees while he was at a food stall in the town,
when a man came up behind him and attacked him. Thankfully, he
was okay enough to be able to give this interview afterwards.
That's done.
When he approached me he looked aggressive. He asked me whether
I was the mayor and I said yes. Then he pulled out a knife
saying you let me starve, but you let 200 refugees into our
city. I really feared for my life. I was scared that I hadn't
just been wounded to die. Then I was rescued.
Certainly quite understated from the mayor just there. But when
we listen to first responders who are on the scene, we
realized this could have been much worse as will visit your
hospital
judging by what he said he was a German citizen who objected into
our mayor's migrant policies. He asked, Are You the man? To which
the man replied Yes. And then he asked, How can you feed the
refugees here while we are starving, so he can't be
refugees. He must be a German citizen.
Eyewitnesses told German media that the man appeared to be
intoxicated, and that he was shouting about Andreas Holsteins
policies on refugees. Now Chancellor Angela Merkel has
also issued a statement on this Mr. Hollstein is from her own
party. She said that she was horrified by this attack and
relieved that he was back at home recuperating with his
family.
So that's a real story to me. The people of Germany are so
sick of it now the stabbing their mayors. That's the story.
Yes, I'd say stabbing the mayor's Yeah,
did we're so sick of these policies. Yeah, that's good.
Everybody pause in. In the Deathstar. They're in in
Brussels. And just to stay on the Deutschland topic, Merkel
herself is in some trouble.
But at the end of the day, they
love this woman. So we already made fun of the Dutch woman.
Here's the German woman who kicks it off with an end of the
day and just a lovely accent.
But at the end of the day, it looks like the SPD will always
be the loser because even if by this situation, a new election
is triggered, they will be hammered at the polls because
they will be seen, didn't want to
they will be hammered into polls there will be hammered in the
polls. Even if they go to the election. They will be
hammered in the polls because they will be seen as the ones
who didn't want to take responsibility. So we're just
interesting again, because Angela Merkel, she could kind of
take a step back again, and it's now watching everybody
collapsing around her. So the CSU in the various in big
trouble. The FTP is in trouble because they left the coalition
talks, and the SPD is in terrible trouble. But be careful
about this because the voices in the CDU saying we need to have a
change of leadership growing with
Merkel and Merkel
wanting this for five years or more that she's gonna get booted
out. She never gets booed. But now they're stabbing mayors. So
yeah, well, the stabbing mayors thing is is distressing. If
you're a mayor
it is. Yeah. Okay, moving into our break, I have a correction
from show extras we spoke about earlier. Yeah. We made a
mistake. I think we made several. But the origins of
double nickels on the dime was particularly irksome to and now
I forgotten who it was.
This will be even more, this will be even more irksome.
I'm gonna I'm gonna get it here. Dave, pew, Dave, pew, gay pew
pew.
What did we say? Well, I
said when we said what is the origin? What is the genesis of
the double nickels on the dime donation that I think came from
Sergeant Fred.
Oh, oh, I didn't know who it came from. I knew it came from
somebody and and so I assumed that when you said that you were
talking from a point of knowledge.

days before I left. And so you finally got it and I wanted to

so Marissa Lawson has does have an interesting note here. by
first saying It's Todd Moore's birthday the White House the
white noise guy can't get enough of your show. And knows this
message will beat any and every gift I could possibly get him
and I adore you both to thank you for the entertainment and
quality time you give us as you made another newsletter error I
am forced all caps to send you guys all the value for value
I've accumulated since the last time I donated last time I
donated I got great heart disease karma from my dad who
didn't have a stable heartbeat for 90 minutes. You should know
he is doing well now and back to being fat and lazy. Nice. Also,
my name is Connor Campbell not Tim. I changed my name not sure
how to change it with Pay Pal. I'll be sure to change it next
time I donate love the show 10 more years and then this is
interesting. I've been wanting to donate so bad to tell you
guys you have no idea what plasticizers are for we talked
about plasticizers they are for making plastic polymers softer,
more ductile and more plasticy when people add Fe lates to
traffic cones it's not to make them shiny you fools it's to
make sure they don't break your bumper when you're on over them
the amount of Fe lates in mac and cheese is so small there's
literally no reason to think there's any reason it might harm
any leaving living being well why are they in the mac and
cheese?
I have no idea maybe to make him shiny because cheese had done a
mac and cheese is that funny shiny cheese is weird but what I
didn't know about it by the way I did not know this I should but
I don't think I ever said it's Bailey's were used for for what
was
no I think I said we were talking about traffic cones and
I said oh maybe it makes them shiny because we
because it oh I see okay, I never said
no John it does not make cheese look shiny, especially if the
concentration is in the realm of ppb whatever the PubMed study
LinkedIn show 948 had rats drinking failure it's in the
realm of five to 10 parts per million for water constantly
every day compared to 105 parts per billion at the highest in
craft cheese powder nobody eating this will be
significantly or even slightly harmed by eating box mac and
cheese I beg to differ that sheer will kill you failure
rates are not talking about
grass mac and cheese is not good for the soul.
That's you know, at the rate we're going that'll be our only
commercial along with me doing the boob thing. All right. Well,
everybody thank you very much. This is for three shows. You can
tell that donations definitely could use some help and this is
the value for value model. All you have to do is think Did I
get any value out of this did we perform for you like monkey boys
then give us what you felt it was worth our performance. So
remember that for our show coming on Sunday to slash as
requested by many
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs or job. Karma.
First thing we do is look at our bladed birthdays. Lisa stoked to
have this Stelter says Happy Birthday to her daughter Amelia.
She turned five on November 18. We're sorry, Amelia. We didn't

Yeah, well, it takes a while but you get there. Do you know where
I'm going overboard?
But we kept we kept our end of the bargain. We kept going until
he had his knighthood.
Yeah, we did.
And I think there's something to be said for that. Not much.
Well, as
you know, as you know, yes. I made the prediction that
academics will be the next target or one of the next
targets Yes. So we got a pervert I guess. Say the pervert
professor. This they they're I think they're experimenting
because this I didn't see this on the nightly news by me. I
just missed it because I you know, because I was on vacation.
But he did play on the CBS Morning News and while Charlie
Rose was still on the show and sitting there, I thought they
ran this storage very funny.
University of Rochester is responding to claims that
mishandled sexual harassment allegations against one of its
star professors. A complaint filed with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission calls Florian Yeager a manipulative
sexual predator. It also accuses university officials of
retaliating against faculty who complained about his conduct and
a Warner's at the University in upstate New York with the latest
on this story and a good morning.
Good morning. Well, University of Rochester officials say that
they thoroughly investigated the allegations against their
department of brain and cognitive sciences professor
Florian Yeager and found that he did not violate any of their
policies. But the professors and students who have allegations
against him claim that investigation was shoddy.
They've now filed an EEOC complaint and some students are
taking actions of their own. Some University of Rochester
students say they've lost confidence in administrators
accusing them of failing the alleged victims. Senior Lindsey
Roble has been on a hunger strike since midnight Thursday.
She vows not to eat until Florian Yeager is fired
prepared to do this until I'm hospitalized and I
hope that it doesn't come to that point.
The 111 Page EEOC complaint filed in August alleges Jager
hosted hot tub parties used illegal drugs with students. One
student unwanted pictures of his genitals, which says at least 11
female students actively avoided working with Jaeger because of
his constant sexual innuendos pressure to sleep with students
and other unprofessional behavior.
This has been around though this story's been out for a week or a
couple of weeks I think. Yeah, no one's really picking it up.
Why is that is there I'm wondering
myself I mean, I that but even the school defends this guy. I
have no idea and if then the whole thing about shooting
pictures of your genitals and sending them around look at this
is a form of flashing that I think is new. Yes, I mean, this
is Anthony wieners problem.
Yeah, it's a big problem. Okay, it goes back to it's a mad mad
world we've been over sexualized we've been made crazy yet you
can't even think about it. Don't Don't say anything. We are just
simple souls.
Anyway, I've just found the whole thing to be guys weird.
Lot of Bitcoin craziness going on right now.
Yeah, went up and then went down didn't go down much but did go
down.
Well, it had a 20% swing, which I can guarantee you this is like
this is like a whip up a bullwhip. And the longer the
whip gets the crazier the swing at the end is and you're gonna
see the more people jumping in and jumping on this obvious
scam. Man they're allowing margin trading just just think
about that for a second. They're allowing people to borrow who's
they the big guys are getting in like JP Morgan all these guys
that got
in Oh no, you're gonna get ripped off if they get in there
getting in? Yeah, then they suck or the public to take over their
positions and the next thing you know the thing crashes. So this
is the oldest story in the book. I've seen it all my life.
But but the idea that you're trading on margin, which means
you're you're basically borrowing something that nobody
has. So that's an infinite supply. Because you know, you
can you can say I'm gonna borrow Bitcoin and then the lender can,
you know, it's not going to be that easy to necessarily go
especially with the underlying fluctuation to go and and grab
that. At the price that you want it at the time the market
has actually that's that's the way you would short But that's
the only way Yes, that's how that shortening margin just
means you're borrowing money. Well, this really pretty simple.
There is one Dutch family who I think did a smart thing. I don't
know if they need to stop pretty soon, but I thought this was
kind of cute.
This family is living on a campsite in the Netherlands,
because they're big believers in Bitcoin. Here's what's going on.
Did he his wife, three kids and her cat pulled literally
everything nails, their house bikes, furniture, cars, clothes,
toys, even their shoes. They traded it all in for Bitcoin and
now they're when for the cryptocurrency to really take
off. It's only been a few months, but they say they don't
regret it. Just
shoot, you can barely hear it. You get the idea, though. They
sold all their possessions, everything three daughters,
beautiful kids live in a campground now. And they trade
all in for Bitcoin. And they're waiting for the price to be high
enough to sell. Now this is all fine and dandy. And I know
people like the Bitcoin hate but I want to give you a living
example of what is wrong with Bitcoin. What is wrong with
really with with the financial news media, CNBC is is complicit
in this scam to either that, or they're so stupid, and it may be
the latter. So the way you buy and sell Bitcoin is through an
exchange. And, you know, some some, there's a lot of scams
going on with that BitFenix as an example, they ran out of
money to pay people who are cashing in their Bitcoins for
dollars and says, Well, you know, because we have this
glitch, we're gonna give you a tethers they launched a new
coin. And now of course, now it's called tether gate. And
they would give people it's like an IOU a tether, but then they
you know, at the same time, they launched the currency, that
currency gets some magical value, and it's just, the whole
thing is scammy. And now, the US customers can no longer trade
through their system through their exchange, because they
don't adhere to any of the SEC rules. So really, what's left is
Coinbase. And Coinbase is the big one, it's legit company. And
these, I've, I've spoken to some of these guys early on, and, you
know, they seem, they seem like they have the heart in the right
place. But there's an inherent problem with Bitcoin. And that
is when you want to get liquid. Now, I said on the previous show
that there's limitations like 2000 A week or something, or
2000 a day. Some people have said they got seven days or, or
7000 a day or a week, beyond the fact that it's restricted at all
is a problem. And it seems rather arbitrary based upon your
credibility. And you know, you have to send in documentation to
the whole anonymity of it goes away because they just won't let
you cash it in for dollars unless they know who you are,
because that's what the regulations are now being put in
place for but when I saw this on CNBC, it blew my mind, but here
are financial journalists. And no one sees the damn scam to
this guy is he's like, Oh, I'm gonna show you how coin base
works because everyone's talking about oh, Bitcoin 10,000 Bitcoin
11,000 Oh, it's to the moon. And listen
to this fallacy. All right, well, here we are, we're live at
the plasma, I have my coin base account one of my coin base
account right up here. So you can kind of see the dashboard
that you have, I've talked about this a million times it's really
easy to use. So here you have the prices of Bitcoin all around
there you can see I have a little bit of theory I'm I have
a little less Bitcoin in there. So let's go and let's do a live
trade on this. So I'm just going to click up here on the buy and
sell button. You can see it comes up I can buy Bitcoin or
Aetherium Litecoin or I can sell that amount. And so I can either
sell some bitcoin, I can sell some Litecoin I can sell some
Aetherium. And so what am I going to do today? What are
you going to do BK? BK,
you know why buy, sell, buy sell, I've got to be consistent
with what I did for myself today. And what I did with my
fun today, and I'm going to take a little bit off the table. Oh,
I think listen, I think if you hear these
morons, like, oh, wow, you're gonna sell some bitcoin. Let's
zoom in on the plasma. Let's see how it goes
all the time. So I have a small amount in here and I did a small
amount just because I wanted to show everybody you don't have to
buy one Bitcoin. I'm $66 worth of bitcoin in here. I've loaded
it up, it goes to my bank account here. All you have to do
is I click on here and say, I want to take my bitcoin and I
want to sell it. I want to sell the maximum amount that I have,
which is $66 Worth, boom. There's the live trade. I'm
selling that I'm going to confirm my sell. And I'm gonna
get my money on Tuesday. All the sell fan. Oh,
maybe Okay, so at this point, the screen pops up and it says
it's an error message it's not like you did something wrong No,
it's failed. Just failed the system failed. It's a dude named
Ben error message the system failed. And they're like oh, now
listen to them try it for they know what's going on. And listen
them try and talk it right shouldn't be buying it. Maybe
that's it let me roll that back. This is the best part
A all the sell fail. Oh, maybe I should be buying it. Maybe
that's the Bitcoin God's telling me to buy it. You know what?
This is your financial news.
Bitcoin. God's telling me to buy it. Yeah,
let's do it that let's see if we can do it that way. All right,
there we go. Okay, so now I can buy $100 worth of bitcoin. Boom,
they're gonna take it out of my bank account. I'm gonna confirm
my buy. And I purchased it successfully. So the Bitcoin
gods want me to buy it. It looks like it's going higher. That's
how you do it. Easy, breezy. Wait, so
let me get this straight. This is Coinbase correct. This is the
Coinbase app, the system that has had the outages, basically
difficulties all day long. You wanted to sell but you couldn't
sell. But you could buy
wasn't that using the right denomination? I bet
you Oh, no, no, I think he just can't possibly be the system
they can put in here. These guys are overloaded. And maybe when
people are selling when it's a 12,000 or 11,000. Maybe they
don't have the funds available. This is a real problem. This is
not simple. What's going on here.
It seemed like you were just going with the wrong size. You
were you were too small.
Well, no, I mean, let's let's I mean, we can certainly try it
again. But I mean, they've been how
long I can hear the producer going no, no. No.
I mean, they've been having issues all day, so Okay, I think
it was probably just a glitch in the system.
There you go. It's a glitch in the system. People have 10s of
1000s of dollars and they can't sell it get out can't Yeah, if
you can if you can even get liquid you'd like Yeah, I mean
this is this is when this is all said and done. It's gonna be
bigger than Enron.
Well, it's gonna take it's not it's not happening tomorrow, but
it's gonna happen. Oh, it's not happening tomorrow, but it
happens. It's gonna be gonna be that it's like Beanie Babies. I
said it from the very beginning. Any babies same thing? Yeah. You
don't even eat when you're done with Beanie Babies at least has
some cute little dolls and stuff to hang on to you had something
there's something there you got nothing. Yeah, one of the guys
you gotta you gotta hashtag hash I
think it was John I'm not sure but anyway, he had a one of
those bitcoins it looks like a challenge coin but it's got to
be on it and the one side school is kind of gold plated very
cute. Yeah, okay. So really is that is that a bitcoin is yes, a
bitcoin is really very cool. Use it to buy some drinks.
Yeah, and I appreciate people who who are very pro Bitcoin and
who are always sending me arguments. I appreciate it.
Yeah. But I I'm just the counter guy and I hate to say it, but
maybe maybe do a little more on Sunday. We've got to go through
net neutrality again, because I see really good people being
hoodwinked again, into this bullcrap. You know,
nothing you can do. Whereas many of these issues that we have on
this show as kind of themes is like shoveling, you know, sand
at the beach into the ocean, it just doesn't. It's just a waste
of time
pushing water uphill with a broom. Pretty much the same
thing.
Alright, so I got a couple of last clips here. All right. This
was a very weird clip. This was on CBS. I don't know what it
means or what it is. But I don't know the underlying anything
about this clip. But they played it on CBS for some reason. I
think it may be messaging, I'm not sure. But this is the
peculiar question about Harvard. Okay,
the news conference today our polar read asked Attorney
General Jeff Sessions about his Department's Civil Rights
priorities. Her question seemed to touch a nerve follow what
happened.
Anthony I tried to ask Attorney General Jeff Sessions about the
Justice Department's investigation into Harvard
University's use of race in admissions at issue is whether
the elite school discriminates against Asian American students
by holding them to a higher standard than other applicants.
letters we have obtained show Civil Rights Division
investigators have concluded the school is out of compliance with
federal law. Now former justice officials tell me this kind of
investigation is unprecedented. The letters also indicate
Harvard is refusing to hand over documents and has gone so far as
to challenge the department's authority to investigate. The
Justice Department has threatened to sue the universe.
See if it does not cooperate. Now, none of this should have
come as a surprise to the attorney general or his staff.
But when I brought it up, here's what happened. Mr. Attorney
General, your civil rights department, for the most part,
has not done many investigations into systemic racial
discrimination. But you are currently investigated. This or
this as the Attorney General, the United States, I understand
you're doing your job, but I'm doing mine too. Your your civil
rights division is investigating Harvard University for possible
civil rights violations related to affirmative action, possibly
discriminate against Asian Americans and white students.
Why is this a priority for your justice department? On topic
question on network. Can you answer that, though, I
mean, a conversation about our opioid policy,
he was able to ask about Alabama, he was able to ask you
about sanctuary cities. Why can I ask about this? Justice
Department reporters, we regularly asked about ongoing
investigations and Mr. Sessions staff routinely declined to
comment, but not allowing the Attorney General to deal with
the direct question in an open press conference is to say the
least unusual, Anthony, a very
persistent follow read with a very silent Attorney General.
Thank you.
Hmm. Well, yeah, it is interesting that Elizabeth
Warren use some of those admission rules to get her
tenure by saying she was Cherokee part Cherokee.
Yeah, that is interesting. But I don't even know if it's
connected to this story.
And why they all the why they'll all in a huff about it.
I don't know. I just saw the clip. I said, Well, maybe. I
don't know. I just want to get on the record that something
weird is going on with Harvard. Well, I have justice department.
I have a university clip. delouis University. No doubt
loosey goosey
and I don't know how to pronounce it.
Where is that?
Isn't it in New Orleans? Louisiana.
Let me see. Dell who see now that's in Canada Navia. Oh,
makes nothing but sense though. Oh, yes. Oh, they're so good up
there. I don't want to blame Canada and be picking on him.
But you guys are providing them as the show a piece
of fabric and a handful of pins are offering an increased sense
of safety for some students at Dalhousie University. The Nova
Scotia Public Interest Research Group has partnered with the
Dalhousie Student Union to provide emergency hijab kits at
various locations on campus. Amina Abba watchI is the
president of Dalhousie Student Union AppleWatch. He is Muslim
and wears a hijab. She says the project is already having an
impact.
I've already heard a lot of really positive feedback from
the community that they are feeling really appreciated and
seen that their concerns are actually, you know, being
addressed in a tangible way. Personally, I do feel safer
knowing that these are in places such as security. So if there is
an incident, you know, I've definitely been feeling safer.
And I've heard from a lot of my friends and colleagues that
they've also been appreciating that this is out there. I think
supporting Muslims goes beyond having a job kit in your
workplace or your office like what are you doing for prayer
times? For example? What are you doing for those who are fasting
during Ramadan? Are there Muslim people in your leadership in
your workplace? So I think that there's a lot of things that can
be done this is one way to support people but this is
definitely not the be all and end all. I would say you know
even checking in on the Muslim people in your life, like how
are they doing? How are they feeling? There's so many things
that go beyond just having the kit.
So the concept here is the hijab kit, should you be walking
through the university and someone says hey, you muslim and
grabs your hijab, you can run break the glass and get your
emergency hijab kit. So you're not exposed? That's Yes, that's
what the hijab kit is.
So who's going around any university anywhere?
Well, this grabbing hit jobs is first this must be happening.
Not necessarily I've never heard of such a thing. Uh, you may get
some goofballs you know that would you say to guys who used
to find you know, there used to be this this apparel that was a
to the top is called a tube top. And if you're like as you know,
like a little kid or something and you grabbed the tube top you
just do anything with it pops off and you get your breasts
exposed. Ever seen these things getting popped off? That's why
they became unpopular. Because little kids would run up to a
girl in this grabbed a thing and boy Yo yo, yo yoing
Well, I'm just looking at the book of knowledge and I see a
lot of hijab grabs self defense techniques. How to stop a grab
to the hijab hit job Grob
who's doing this? Well. It'd be a scandal around here and I've
never heard any stories.
No, I must be happening.
We must not be You know, that's nonsense. It's not doesn't must
be happening. It might be a fiction.
Well, we've got a job kids just in case.
I mean, so you get your job grabbed and instead of just
going home and getting another one, you can rush over to the
job, kid, break the glass and put another one on you. Did you
go? Lucky there. Really?
Yeah, that's really true. That's
not good. They don't have a yarmulke kits then.
You know, this is a very good point. And we also need
emergency pasta fiery and strainers
now you're talking um
you know, we can we can demand that we can demand because they
have to be equal for all religions. So I think Yama
because we'd be emergency Yama kit. What else could we do? What
other religions for Buddhist emergency orange blanket
will be the sixth point that we were fired from this show.
Donate to the show. We will never make it in real media
will be fired. will be fired.
Do I have one more if you're interested?
I have one more. I've got a couple more but I only have one
that's really kind of interesting. It's the this is a
CBS
Mormon underwear kit. Yes. Ah.
Yeah. Cheese. That's the story. That's really the way to finish
the show. So I was I've got a report here. This is CBS network
news. And I have a couple of questions to ask after you play
this poisonous opposing dog bone.
Yes, okay.
All right. The Food and Drug Administration has a warning for
dog owners some bone treats could make your dog sick. These
are real bones that are dried flavored and packaged for pets.
The FDA says FDA says about 90 Dogs have reportedly become ill
from the treats 15 have died.
Okay, all right. QUESTION And I like you know why they didn't
bring this up. Where are these dog treats? What is the brand
name? Yeah. Are they from China? Where's what what is poisoning
the Dogs i There's nothing answered in this is a stupid
report. It tells us nothing.
Poisonous dog treats. That's interesting. You'd think that
no names were named nothing. This was the worst. This is not
reporting this is just kind of randomly talking about something
is unbelievable. This is CBS network. They got plenty of time
to talk about Trump being a sexual predator. But they won't
give us any real information when it comes to the poisonous
dog treat. Yeah. I was I was I was incredibly aghast I was I
was you were taken aback perturbed by that I
haven't heard yet.
All right, John. It's been a long day. Ya know? It's been a
long day. So we'll be back on Sunday. Today is a show day you
never know anything could happen you know Bitcoin could be
imploding as we speak or not. So we will be back on Sunday with a
fresh new deconstruction for you please think of us at DeVore
act.org/na for your value for value of contribution. And as
always we appreciate everything everybody does with art with
clips and information coming to you from downtown Austin Texas

governmental maps in case you're looking for just turn left to

retweeting. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday right here on no agenda. Until then, as
always, I do smoke
they call her Pocahontas. So would you say Elizabeth Warren,
I think she's as Native American as I am.
What I know about my parents is I know that in that little town
that my father's parents knew enough about my mother and her
family to say I have.
Lauren says her great, great great grandmother is Cherokee,
but genealogists have yet to confirm that 130 seconds. That's
all I am. Wondering second.
I love the face. 1/32 Goofus day
that's been very ineffective.
She's a basket case.
You're 1/32 That doesn't
tell you don't do this No, no, no
it is not. It's not about the number my Aunt Bee has walked by
that picture at least 1000 times remarked that he that her father
My papel had high cheekbones like
all of the Indian
looked at her family papers there's nothing to indicate
she's Cherokee for family is found nowhere amongst Cherokee
records I feel so very special I feel so very special
fine, but it's no substitute for marriage?
