time who

no no
it's on the tip of my tongue
it's uh oh
hey hey huh it's like okay in
the chat
room we'll know well we don't
have a
chat room we have a troll root
old room
dr. Dement roll room we'll know
it was
Napoleon about Napoleon
something or
other that's right Napoleon
okay why
even do that when we have
important
things to discuss John I need
you to
look at the Trump rotation today
the Trump rotation have it in
front of
me no I cannot recall do we
have dog
hater on the list nope I'm sure
of it
dog hater should be added to
the list
and I think I can prove it
okay hold on a second let me
write it
get a pen yeah you do need to
write this
down that's interesting we
should have
caught this one much earlier
but there
is an issue with dogs as you
know the
president likes to call people
dog for
numbers he does Brian Williams
felt it
was time to investigate if the
president
hates dogs is this president
really
physically not like dogs
that's right Brian he's
actually the
first president in more than a
hundred
years who's not had a dog as a
pet in
the White House he has looked
with a dog
before when he first got
married to his
first wife Ivana she brought
with her a
poodle he resisted the dog he
didn't
want to have anything to do
with the
poodle but she said the poodles
coming
along he's coming along turns
out chappy
didn't like Trump very much
because
whenever Trump would come near
Ivana's
closet chappy would bark at him
territorial lady Ivana writes
about this
in her memoir that came out a
few months
ago we launched an extensive
web search
that took us at least a few
minutes and
we could only find one don't
you love
that I mean I know he's making
fun of
himself but it's just kind of
it's so
beautiful to hear him say we
did some
extensive research a two-minute
Webster
Tamar that came out a few
months ago we
launched an extensive web
search that
took us at least a few minutes
and we
could only find one photo
extant in all
the land of Donald Trump for
the daus
but it's deadly serious what he
does
with that word using it as an
attack
he's dehumanizing his enemies
that's the
goal there and there's a long
history
actually of authoritarian
leaders who've
used these ANA animalistic
slurs as
insults to dehumanize
individuals or
groups of people we remember in
during
the Holocaust the Nazis would
call there
we go hey good good work it
only took
him a minute to get to Hitler
really
fast now they get it down now
this is
just a lead-in to the real
accusations
about Trump misusing dogs not
just
hating them in general and I
don't know
for pootle his dog by the way
but
comparing people he hates to
dogs al
Sharpton has details jokey-joke
like a
dog it shoked like a dog jumped
like a
dog we've seen you employed
people
expect unwavering loyalty teach
them
tricks and give them treats for
job well
done and give them treats for
job well
like oh six figures worth the
hush money
to silence an alleged affair
for example
but the moment they deviate
from their good behavior and
failed to
fetch you publicly condemned
them or
twitter with animalistic slurs
steve
Bannon was quote jumped like a
dog you
tweeted after he was fired
Sally Yates
you said she choked like a dog
during US
Senate testimony on the rush
investigation and now amarosa
that
doesn't include all those
outside your
orbit you hit with a canine
cut-down
like when you refer to black
NFL players
as sons of well female dogs but
I think
you've might have learned a
lesson this
week and wait for John pay
attention
sometimes the dog bites back
with a book
deal and while we're talking
about
female canines if you know what
they say
about payback it's a real well
you I'm
sure you know the word I'm
thinking of
so in the words of my late
friend Aretha
Franklin and show some our ESP
ICT
[Applause] and show some our
ESP ICT
MSNBC everybody
hitman al sharpton spells
respect RESP
eyes of the day I mean wanna
make it
with nothing to top that clip
show some
RESP ICT from this morning show
my
everything blew up here around
quarter
to 11:00
everyone's sending me this clip
thank
you by the way everybody this
whole
rigmarole is obviously written
form so
smooth as silk got a lot of
one-liners a
lot of good material and then he
finishes his putt he punches
his punches
out with that unbelievable what
an
incompetent bonehead
why does MSNBC pay this guy so
much
money to be on that you know
she's good
no I know let me tell you
there's a he's
been in the news quite a bit
actually
and I think it's what you fold
one as we
know he's a hitman we learned
this on
the last show so you don't mess
with the
Hitman in fact this was haunt
this was
on MSNBC the last step before
witness
protection is always a visit
with
Reverend Al uh-huh that's right
Plus
that before witness protection
is always
a visit Ruth with Reverend Al
now
Reverend Al having worked for
the FBI
being an informant guess what
he has
since 83 what does he have
clearance
this is why al is still around
this is
this without us really
realizing it
the swamp has been exposed at
least a
big big scummy pond part of it
which is
this clearances business oh yeah
and this is great let me just
let me
just play this sharpen bit so
we get
into it is what makes it so
scary to me
because that effect I'm saying
I can't
afford environment intelligence
if I
want to do something later in
my career
I can't afford to speak my mind
even in
private cause I could have this
against
me and that is where we're
going toward
a almost totalitarian type of
state
walking slowly there but headed
that way
when people are afraid for
political
reasons to exercise their
freedom of
speech nada that is the threat
here to
me I think that is a valid
threat and
from intelligence perspective
and
especially at the CIA
professional
outside of their work they
should do
that publicly when they have
left the
agency as I have talked about
their own
opinions and in quite often
informed
opinions and I think that
adding to the
public debate is what is so
important so
we were half right or at least
partially
right were half right or at
least partially
that taking away someone's to
clear the
security clearance in
Washington DC is
extremely funny because a
million and a
half people have top-secret
clearance
already almost five million
have some
sort of clearance across the
USA so when
you don't have clearance you
are truly
in DC a loser and wait so you
know I've
dealt I think I've told the
story many
times there were some distant
nice in
the family we're all sitting
around big
family reunion she's talking so
I asked
or something says yeah I can't
talk to
you about that because you have
no
clearance this is how it works
you got a
spy job you get clearance you
can't talk
to people that's what it is now
all of a
sudden is like bid my First
Amendment
right has been taken away
because I
don't have any clearance you
still can't
talk to people no the problem
is you're
not as valuable anymore you
zero value to MSNBC if you're
John
Brennan and you don't have
security
clearance you have no value and
they are
freaking out over this the
people who
are freaking out the loudest
clearly
have the most business to lose
here's a
background or a little m5m
freaked out
over this whole ordeal this is a
dictatorial exercise of power
that
should frighten and call on all
Republicans to say mr.
president you
cannot do this you are trying
to inhibit
the free speech people who may
be in
opposition we have to make sure
everybody's clear on one thing
as we
were doing this the free speech
is not
impinge in any way by security
clearance
removal you have all a free
speech in
the world did you associate the
two
which is that what you're
trying to do
is an old crap because you do
not do
your free speech your enjoyment
of free
speech for the First Amendment
rights
has not changed at all
so don't you know these guys
would keep
doing this it's all my they're
impinging
on my fries my rights of free
speech no
they're not they're taking your
security
clearance away usually for what
I would
call insubordination yeah okay
let's go
back sorry yeah and just
explain why
this is not taking away their
free
speech because the it because
it's
gotten security clearance has
nothing to
do with free speech they can
talk all
they want in fact they could
probably
talk even more but even though
I think
not in terms of what they can
say in
fact their security clearance
seems to
me to impinge for each yes
exactly thank
you that's exactly what security
clearances do means you can't
talk about
this that is the literal
definition of
restriction of free speech but
it's not
that it's an agreement yeah but
okay
again all of these reasons that
they're
throwing up and just a little I
believe
they're just yeah they are
throwing up
it's because their livelihood
has been
threatened and this has been
exposed in
the coming up with all kinds of
reasons
to say that this is
unconstitutional and
can't happen and we need laws
to stop
the president from doing this
in the
meantime president from doing
this in the
every douche knuckle we see on
television has security
clearance
including many of the
presenters al
Sharpton Anderson Cooper we
know that
for sure so to remove this
moves their
livelihood and to me it's like
what
actually doesn't remove their
livelihood
in DC media circles it sure
does well to
have no value there have no
value it
should be yeah I should be
seeing a gap
for a news presenter who is
objective
and is Jay's reporting on the
news I
shouldn't be watching some
spook trying
to trick me what do you what do
you
think sources are sources are
people
with clearance that's what this
is all
about more m5m freak out the
free speech
of people who may be in
opposition to
you to use this kind of
punishment to
kill speech is a violation of
the First
Amendment I mean this is a
strike
move towards authoritarianism
you know
this is what dictators do they
shut down
the press and shut down dissent
they
jail their opponents or in this
case
they steal their security
clearance was
a few authoritarian act from an
intemperate president who
wanted to
punish one of his critics
nothing more
nothing less what I gotta throw
this one
in just secured you know a guy
I'm
leading up to that I know
exactly what I
got the clip already lined up
okay good
yeah of course that's my final
one
because it's the best one ever
but first
I think is the best one ever or
it's at
least up-to-date will be will
see more
first we need to go to NPR the
serious
news outfit who still have some
respect
somewhere my favorite show NPR
this week
which always has that jamoke in
there
you know what's his name again
what
doesn't matter
check BD is a Redux of the
Richard Nixon
enemies list oh it's an enemies
list
well as John Dean who was one
of the
people involved and putting
together the
enemies list for President
Nixon as he
said last night on CNN this is
a step
beyond the enemies list
he said President Nixon didn't
do
anything based on the enemies
list it
was it was out there as a sort
of target
of opportunity and of
presidential peak
the president has acted on it
and as
John McLaughlin the former CIA
director
said yesterday we've seen this
show
before we've seen it in
authoritarian
regimes and petty dictatorships
where
leaders use the power of
government to
punish their political enemies
and of
course the great threat of the
trump
presidency is that that's how
we're
going to end up in a kind of
trumpian
authoritarian dictatorship
trumpian it's it's now it's
just a whole
new category like this is a
kind of
early warning early what that
is a
possibility the president this
is a
breaking of a norm goes well
beyond
anything that any president has
done
well yes because having your
credentials
certainly your security
credentials
which is I think it's just a
part of it
you leave and no one ever gets
to their
credentials revoked apparently
like hey
Paul man afford what do you
think that
he have security clearance he
may very
well have had it every lobbyist
and
what's what you do you you're in
government and then you're done
you go
out and you join a lobbying
firm but
that's where you could really
make your
money by influencing the
government this
is this is the definition of
the swamp
let's back up a couple of shows
when you
when you first exposed the fact
that or
surmised or I think
deconstructed
correctly the fact that Peter
struck and
his leases have made yeah we're
out to
they were part of a conspiracy
to
overthrow the government yes
and of
course he was just fired on on
Monday
and gone for good and he'll
probably
have trouble getting work in the
government again they should
have his
security clearance pulled and
and the
article that was nobody you
know we talk
about all these guys bitching
and
moaning but we don't talk about
one of
the old hacks of the CIA that
is pretty
objective never like Trump
doesn't like
Trump but he ray mcgovern which
i'll it
was article in the last
newsletter and
people should click on that and
read
this article but govern says
that
Brennan was a conspirator
a ringleader of the number of
CIA people
that who was who was Ray
McGovern again
Ray McGovern xanex CIA analyst
we've had
him do he had clips from him
over the
years quite a few actually he's
an
ex-cia analyst and pretty much
a on the
side of you know he sees a
shadow
government for what it is and
then
there's a lot of in views the
government
is a correct corrupt mechanism
in
different ways but this person
he
doesn't like Trump but he
thinks that
this all has to do with a
Brennan being
a conspirator and he should
have had his
clearance pulled according to
McGovern
and the way I see it since that
McGovern
wrote that piece these guys who
have
signed at people who are active
CIA
members who have signed a
petition that
Mike Morell yes
or get orchestrated
should all have their
clearances pulled
and if anybody's working for
the agency
I think they should all be
fired yes
they're all there they're all
talking
about traitorous actions this is
insubordination of the highest
order if
you're actually working
I think it's insubordination on
all
levels and that's kind of what
McGovern's thinking I think and
what and
those guys who signed off on
morels
document I think there's there
also
should be probably that Gomez
being
stupid is the dumbest thing to
do just
lay low a cabal offense I agree
well the
you know the media's problem
the m5m on
all sides I would say if their
problem
is that their official spokes
holes
we've been tracking them since
the first
day the show began here's the
former
Admiral of this or of that a
CIA guy
this all X and of course it's
all coming
from from the pickle factory
and they're
all read in that's the problem
they can't be read into the
official
story from well let's just call
it the
deep state to make it easy
that's the
problem hey man I got some
bullshit that
we're pushing out there here it
is you
know that no longer can be said
technically yeah I agree with
that now I
do have one clip that you don't
have I'm
sure which is another one of
these
roundup clips from CBS trying
to be
objective but curiously they
can't be
that objective because they keep
bringing in Brennan who works
for NBC as
their analyst you know they
don't have
their own guy here or a little
morality
in this clip now there are
plans to
cancel the clearances for other
officials the president is
facing
mounting criticism from the
intelligence
community for this
unprecedented action
after Brennan's clearance was
revoked
this week more than a dozen
high-ranking
former intelligence officials
have come
to his defense mr. Trump is
spending the
weekend at his New Jersey golf
course
Errol Barnett is traveling with
the
president harreld good morning
good
morning the White House has
drafted
additional documents revoking
the
security clearances of current
and for
intelligence officials this is
according
to the Washington Post and
apparently
President Trump is ready to
sign them
and this comes as more than 70
former
intelligence officials go
public with
their displeasure with the
commander in
chief the fact that he's using a
security clearance of a former
CIA
director as a pawn in his public
relations strategy I think is
just so
reflective of somebody who
quite frankly
don't want to use this term
maybe but
he's drunk on power flow CIA
director
John Brennan speaking out
against
President Trump for revoking his
security clearance retaliation
he says
for criticism of the
president's policy
I mean seriously who's drunk on
power if
you're that pissed off about
you know
security clearance that I guess
does it
make any difference or not but
you can't
be the ex CIA director and come
out and
after a meeting with Putin say
that the
president's a traitor
they I didn't say that he said
treasonous action treasonous
act but it
comes down to the same poking
his
security clearance retaliation
he says
for criticism of the president's
policies and character like
this tweet
from July when Brennan called
Trump's
performance at a press
conference with
Russian leader Vladimir Putin
quote
nothing short of treasonous I
think this
is just another example of mr.
Trump
trying to frighten intimidate
others but
I can tell you these are not
the type
people are going to be bullied
or
intimidated by someone of the
likes of
mr. Trump speaking to reporters
while
live in the White House Friday
President
Trump was asked if a current
Department
of Justice official should lose
his
clearance as some conservatives
are
suggesting in protest 15 former
top
intelligence officials from both
Democratic and Republican
administrations went on the
record with
their displeasure at the
president's
actions saying mr. Trump's
motives have
quote everything to do with an
attempt
to stifle free speech they are
joined by
60 lower ranking former CIA
officers who
also signed a letter supporting
Brennan
and warning that mr. Trump is
threatening the security of the
country
Brennan was on Rachel's show
for about
an hour I think I didn't have
time to
listen to it all but I did and
I don't
have a clip I did read that he
back
pedaled on the yeah it was
obvious what
I meant you know I didn't
really mean it
literally that kind of stuff
oh no he backpedal on the
treason thing
yeah yeah yeah I know
Oh would someone do well
because there's
a problem why would he do that
this guy's brazenly arrogant
here's
something this guy this is the
guy that
everyone believes to be a
Muslim he
swore his but he just he
converted while
in Saudi Arabia at the station
there
these station chief and you
know a lot
there's also a lot of Records
is really
didn't do a lot of very good
job in this
job it seems but he became a
Muslim if
he's gonna become a Muslim in
Saudi
Arabia's gonna become a
Wahhabist
Salafist uh and so you go to
Snopes and
look this up and they say
unverified
they can't say yes they can't
say true
or false I'm I've started
thinking about
this has anybody just on NBC
just has
them asked him why would they
do that it
is it that hard to do can you
say like
oh we can't do it because it's
like a
violation of some moral moral
love edict
I mean apparently we've been
out of the
loop on this yes apparently
this is a
huge issue in in Washington DC
and I
think it's pretty obvious why
now yeah
because he's a Wahhabist Muslim
and he's
getting indeed this guy is a
troublemaker now to Phil Mudd
former CIA
operative I think they call him
on CNN
he's the CNN guy and Phil mud
orchid CIA
still has his clearances
apparently and
this comes up in a conversation
this was
Jim sciutto actually with Paris
what's
the guy's name there's Dan and
I thinks
it's les yeah
and black is a black
conservative yeah
and he calls it right off the
bat and
says hey man this is kind of
swampy that
you know you leave you got your
credentials you can go work for
consulting companies that which
are
numerous you can work for a
lobbyist all
kinds of places you can go and
work with
your security clearance
including Phil
Mudd is working on CNN hey no
one's ever
heard of Phil Mudd there's no
real
background but he's on CNN so
we know
who he is why is NCM because he
has
clearance and when this comes
up the
video is even better than the
audio he
you can see his head actually
expand a
little bit he's he's so angry
I'm
surprised didn't have a stroke
he's a
candidate and he just he
explodes on
this and then lies by Elton who
lies by
deflecting I would say he said
I never
get paid for consulting with the
government and Paris keep
saying ah oh
man when you go to consulting
companies
what pair should have said is
are you
not being paid right here right
now but
I don't know why I didn't do
that
probably because Paris is being
paid
it's all a big swarmy messy
ugly swamp
and also if if you do consult
for the
government there is at fifty
five
thousand dollars stipend
he may have refused that I
don't know
but everyone kind gets that
offered what
doubt it I doubt it but what is
lied
well here is a lot of these
people that
had these security clearances
and this
is the secret in the swampy
washington d
c-- they have them and they
keep them
because it's profitable for
them after
they leave government because
if you
have a security clearance
especially
high level security clearances
your
contracts and you're consulting
gift pay
you a lot more money because of
the
access that you have and i hope
the
president continues to do this
and I
hope he adds Omarosa to the
list because
if she has a clearance she to
because of
her actions should have it
revoked I
don't know if I put on morosa
in the
same category the seventy five
people
assign those letters but film
bud I
imagine you want to react
profitable
Paris when I am requested to
sit on an
advisory board let me ask you
one
question how much do you think
I'm paid
to do that at the request of
the US
government give me one answer
and you've
got ten seconds now that is how
the CIA
runs that when they were you in
the
Union when you are getting your
ass
handed to you in the CIA how
much I'll
give out ask you a question how
much are
you paid for your answer the
question
acting gig for for being a
contract with
the US government that pay mine
this is
the zero that's the enemy I'm
not
talking about your role with
the federal
government I'm talking about
your hey
Sultan and a contractor the
consulting
firms that they form and that
you all
get is because you get more
money than
having a consult before before
having
the security consulting
relationships
with the US government I'm not
feel
that's a good talking point I'm
not
talking about relationship with
the
government I'm talking about in
the
private sector when you have a
security
family you see relationships
with the
private sector that involve my
security
clearance sector that involve
my security
right now Phil Mudd you're on
CNN zero I
get well zero dollars from
consulting
companies that deal with the US
government are we clear
well I would be clear and
saying that
everybody in Washington DC
knows if you
don't want to be honest that's
on you
but if you have a security
clearance and
you keep it you get out couple
of things
telling the guy that get out
and by the
way the host right then and
there should
stop him okay I have the bit
where he
kind of gets in there but you
can't let
one of the guests yes you can
if he has
clearance in Washington female
great
here's the thing that's got me
there was
a little tidbit in there that
just like
the guy out of the blue why
would you do
this mud out of the blue says
who are
you talking about general
Hayden yes yes
yes because he apparently has
all kinds
of deals yeah you know what how
about
all the text TSA guys who who
set up the
scanner comes off come on in
and it's
hundreds of millions probably
topping
billion dollars by this point
since they
started with their l3 systems
come on
but we're gonna try and
obfuscate it and
the press who are so adamant
about their
rights and press freedom and
they need
to report on everything are
just keeping
silent they are not explaining
at all
how this works this is so right
easier
can I just finish it's 30
second let's
finish this no no I want you to
stop
that thought okay the press I
said
you're gonna get this done
don't worry
the press
in the bag for the CIA yes no
not just
CIA for all the intelligence but
Mockingbird is the main the
manslayer
CIA I mean the NSA doesn't even
come up
in the conversation the DIA
doesn't even
come up in the conversation the
the
press has been infiltrated by
the one
agency mostly there's no NSA
guys
working for the New York Times
maybe
there's one I doubt it right
and so
they're just you're just like
these guys
within the the whole structure
of the
mainstream media or just you
know
they're backing this big idiots
like
this mud character oh they need
it
because that is their
connection to the
messaging and you're right I
love how
you put that Mockingbird is the
poor is
that what you say is that it's
the
premier primary place yeah yeah
it's a
primary player
I like that Mockingbird is the
primary
player that sounds that's yes
exactly it
and for those of you who think
that's a
conspiracy theory you should
hook it up
from consulting companies that
deal with
US government are we clear
well I would be clear in saying
that
everybody in Washington DC
knows if you
don't want to be honest about
it that's
on you but if you have a
security
clearance and you keep it 25
years no
service this is what I get
about this
your voice is still here you
can still
do whatever you little ization
of the
intelligence community under
this
administration with the people
coming on
here every day tweeting and
talking
about this administration you
all have
made it about politicians like
the press
let's take a beat here for a
second I
feel like you have patience
because
because I know it's getting is
getting
personal here Phil I appreciate
your
patience come on appreciate your
patience because you know you
gotta suck
him off because all he's our
connection
to the to the information
shameful
shameful by the way I bet if I
took a
vote right now in our very own
trawl
room and I said who has some
form of
security clearance
let me see how many say yes
because I
know there are people have
security
clearance and it may not be top
secret
clearance but if you're a
contractor
there's dudes named Ben there's
all
kinda debts name Bernadette
there's so
many so many people with some
version of
clearance we've laughed about
this for a
long time I got to so far not
in our TRO
room alone
yeah cuz it's rampant yeah I
actually
come from a partial CIA family
and have
nose clearance
I have anti clearance they put
me a
different table at Thanksgiving
it's a
form of control how about the
definition
of control almost yeah did you
sign away
all these rights is talk about
this and
that you can you lose a lot of
free
speech rights this is crazy to
listen to
this reverse argument by guys
like mud I
don't know it's they did is
they they
know it's a scam and they've
got a they
would need their clearances so
they can
talk to each other it's like
your
experience with your niece or
whoever it
was she can't even talk to you
because
you're gonna have a clearance
yeah and
she's following the rules and
she
probably is that some really
good
well-paying job right now not
worrying
about your next podcast
oh man that's so I think this is
fantastic to watch anyone it
doesn't
matter really what side you're
on of any
political spectrum you should
not be
like I mean isn't when I grew
up and we
learned about Russia Soviet
Union which
is I think very little compared
to what
we know today that was one of
the things
everyone was a part of the
secret police
they were all you know in in
collusion
with each other and they could
pass on
stuff and they would leak and
there was
a net you know you would get
you would
get killed it turns out we have
all
these people
all of them always when you
look at Mike
Morell or John Brennan you
think yet
okay Clarence Phil Mudd didn't
really
think about it now I got to
think about
it all the time
well then you have in fact your
York
right next to one of these
jokers
uh Chancellor the University of
Texas at
Austin X spook whose movie
ex-military
McRaven I have a clip he's at
UT we're
leaders of the u.s. national
security
establishment or blasting
president
Trump's decision to strip X CIA
director
John Brennan abyss on the
leaders of the
national security establishment
how am I
supposed to interpret what that
means
well this is democracy now so
that mean
it's like what site hey where
are these
these journals journals I'll
remind you
it's shameful to call yourself
a a
journalist and and want this to
go on
I'm I am I'm look I'm just a VJ
what do
I know we're leaders of the u.s.
national security establishment
or
blasting president Trump's
decision to
strip X CIA director John
Brennan of a
security clearance calling it a
clear
attempt to stifle the free
speech of the
president's critics the letter
was
signed by six former CIA
directors five
former CIA deputy directors and
a former
Director of National
Intelligence it
came as the New York Times
reported
White House press secretary
Sarah
Huckabee Sanders sought to
advance the
security clearance story in
order to
change the topic away from news
reports
about Trump's alleged use of a
racial
slur what is important this
issue of
everyone running around with
top secret
clearance or you know someone
dog is
something dogs slur the N word
meanwhile
the former naval home
here's how this journalist just
said
that month away from news
reports about
Trump's alleged use of a racial
slur the
n-word wow I'm not a shred of
evidence
in this and they're just using
that as a
leader meanwhile the former
naval
Admiral who led the
assassination raid
on Osama bin Laden rode in an
open
letter he would consider it an
honor if
Trump would revoke his security
clearance retired naval Admiral
William
McRaven who led the u.s. Joint
Special
Operations Command under
President Obama
and now serves as Chancellor of
the
University of Texas wrote quote
through
your actions you've embarrassed
us in
the eyes of our children
humiliated us
on the world stage and worst of
all
divided us as a nation if you
think for
a moment that your McCarthy era
tactics
will suppress the voices of
criticism
you are sadly mistaken
McRaven wrote yeah and if you
think
we're going to allow the The
Times of
the Church Committee to go
unnoticed
you're severely mistaken sir
all right goodness well he's
been in
Austin so he's infected Oh
security
clearance pulled pull it yeah
right away
I'd pull it immediately if he
thinks
it's a good thing saying it's a
good
thing that's an honor
seems like some prince of
ordination to
me this is all insubordination
is
ridiculous unbelievable and I'm
still
not convinced that Omarosa who
he keeps
kind of flowing through this
story that
she isn't on another Trump
mission
because remember the last time
it was
very convenient that she said
things in
the Big Brother house that made
pence
look like a raving lunatic
compared to
trump right at the time when
people are
talking about hey you know we
get to
impeach him we get depends that
timing
was uncannily coincidental I'm
still not
sure that she's not on a
mission from
Trump I've felt the same way I
don't
know exactly what yet but come
on the
risk she's taking or she took
to record
people in the White House I
would be I I
don't think I could even do
that it
would only be between her and
Trump -
nobody else would know about
this just
insane else would know about
this just
I mean just think about even
you've got
to be really brazen to do that
kind of
stuff unless it's under some
kind of
control or or knowledge
or maybe she's just and crazy
that's
possible she's I don't know I
mean it's
just it'll turn up in the end
when we're
the young were dead I'd like to
find out
earlier young were dead I'd
like to find out
I don't think we can find out
are you
familiar with ASMR by the way
the
acronym autonomous sensory
meridian
response no I got a cop
actually not one
but a couple of emails about
this that
we played the clip from Omarosa
reading
from her book and and I think I
joked
about you know that she's
probably
already done the audiobook
because it
was a very dramatic read and it
was on
NPR so they really had a great
record
and you could hear every every
strand of
spittle sticking in her mouth
like that
you could hear it apparently a
lot and
that I think we may have
touched on this
months ago or longer a good
selves
Michael do exactly apparently
there is a
large group of Millennials who
love to
listen to recordings that are
specifically meant for the ASMR
audience
this autonomous sensory meridian
response which gives an
experience
characterized as a static light
or
tingling sensation on the skin
that
typically begins on the scalp
and moves
down the back of the neck and
upper
spine the back of the neck and
upper
it's people say this is a
version of
euphoria my subjective
experience of
low-grade euphoria
sounds like a standing wave to
me well I
have an example which is just
some guy
walking around some 3d world in
some egg
some game which of course I
have no idea
what this is but you'll hear
what this
is apparently a really good
example of
what people like and they
listen to this
and very high fidelity and it
gets them
off somehow
[Music] somehow
[Music] somehow
now you feel like yet no
neither well
here's a here's 10 seconds of
Omarosa
well I hear some guy with it
this kid
needs to clears throat or
something I
think it's part of it listen to
Omarosa
which people responded very
positively
to on this phone conversation I
was told
exactly what Donald Trump said
yes
the n-word and others and a
classic
truck goes nuclear rant
I think we could get in this
business I
think I said I think it's a
distinct
possibility if you can talk a
little
nothing moist I need to be
eating some
fruit all caps another business
opportunity we got the gear and
we do we
got the gear we got the talent
we just
need some scripts scripts I'm
gonna I'm
gonna do this I'm gonna release
an hour
of me just doing that I think
the bongos
would work out in this skin yes
I think
the bongos in fact do you have
any like
we need like you know the
percussion
where it's really kind of you
like a
wind chime wind chimes we'd
wind chime
have something similar I got
this and
get your wind chimes out bro
break it out yes from time to
time we
just go
we are good to go and we throw
in a rain
stick from time to time now
it's gonna
be genius rain just genius
oh man and even though I never
heard of
whatever it is you and I don't
have any
idea what you're doing
but no well anyway what was the
thing
it's the thing I didn't know
either but
it's a real thing let's see we
can go a
number of directions well let
me get was
history still in these talk
show as you
like to put it jabroni Georgia
mice to
play this clip because this is
a clip of
this Michelle Goldberg who
somehow got
on Katy tur show and Michelle
Goldberg
is a columnist for The New York
Times
and she gets her story
sometimes columns
above the fold on the front page
what's her what's her
background a
University of California
master's degree
and the journalism from the
Graduate
School of Journalism at Cal OH
above the fold you're gonna
hear her
there's a katie has this woman
come on
she's just doing some normal
discussion
of of Trump in the negative way
and then
this Goldberg woman jumps in
and makes
some commentary and then she's
got some
sidekick I don't know who this
guy is
but he sitting right next door
and
there's a big gap between those
two and
the woman talking and it's
gonna start
off with the woman talking but
but I
believe that what we're about
to hear
because I think she hasn't been
there
long enough she doesn't know
the rules
of the New York Times
I believe she's actually
expressing
because they brought her on for
a reason
in last year Justin last year
that she
is expressing the actual
thought the the
kind of the thought the way the
New York
Times thinks about everything
including
this country Trump and
everything in
before you in other words I
believe the
world view is being expressed
this said
New York Times columnist and I
think
she's a little out of it's
talking a
little out of class a lot of
whatever
the phrase is school hush out
of school
she a lot of school but she's
she's
telling it like hey okay now I
know what
The Times is up to it but again
this is
the most vocal president at
least in
real time that we've had in
recent
memory right he's the leader of
the free
world I know he's not you're
not the
leader in the free
but sorry by default as the
leader was
they will uncle Merkel's leader
is very
well but well he is the most
important
person in in the world in
politics right
now and he is very vocal and I
do agree
with you that this does Express
a level
of exasperation among his aides
that
they can't have any control
over your
are yeah go ahead I'm sorry your
argument that he's not the
leader of the
free world because he's not be
coming up
with democracy he's a sort of
junior
player in a block of
authoritarian
country and no and the people
like the
European Union are no longer
looking at
him as a leader any longer and
I think
it's not right they see he's
instead
he's like right he's part of a
block
that includes Vladimir Putin to
tear tey
he's you know but he's kind of
part of a
he's part of kind of an
accident that's
what it's worse than looking it
in a
certain way I mean not that
that's not
the worst thing you could have
said cuz
it's about the worst that could
say
about him rounding people up and
murdering murdering them
without any you
know process and they like to I
don't
think you can say that I do
wow this is an important clip I
think he
is I think so - he's a junior
leader in
a block of authoritarianism
cluding
duterte and Putin
what are we in authoritarian
country by
her standards yes yes yes yes
yes yes
great because we're part yes if
you're
globalist we are yes and that's
what
Obama tried to make us and I
would say
that her comment about Katie
throws in
well he's not rounding people
up and
shooting him referring to the
turkey I
think more than then Putin and
the woman
says well he'd sure like to
that's the
New York Times yes I think we
heard you
know screw I got to give you
this first
of all as an important clip very
important clip I think so I
think we
actually heard the the
mentality the
editorial mentality of the New
York
Times and when they brought
that racist
woman in who's you know dates
man yes
sir in this room he has you
whatever
whatever her name is they they
would
refuse to back off on that and
I said
well they they have too much
pride in
the back of no I don't believe
they have
too much right if they would
have backed
off if they wanted to they want
this
this is the New York Times
epitomized by
this woman's comments right here
they hate the country yeah they
hate
Trump and Angela Merkel Merkel
is the
truth Angela Merkel is the
leader of the
free world
she's Louise yeah we're gonna
see how
well she did it by the way
matter of
fact she did it by the way
matter of
oh he's not little America
Merkel's the
free and let's see how well the
leader
of the free world according to
New York
Times does when air Dewan
releases
500,000 or a million refugees
from
Turkey to go flood Europe
Germany mainly
let's see how she does then
leader of
the free world
that was suggested to us by
someone on
email and I thought it was yeah
forgot
about that
remember all those deals they
had to do
the European Union hey man take
them
back you know don't send it and
we'll
extend you money billions of
euros yeah
please keep them keep them and
now his
country's melting down who
knows what
the crazy guy will do angular
Merkel
will save you don't worry it's
all gonna
be fine just look at the ground
it'll
all go away very good John very
good and
I was very I just taken aback
by it
actually I can imagine I mean
this is
this is the kind of thing you
should
talk to your Lib Joe friends
about so
hey you know just what exactly
is going
on with this I probably will
although
one of them has kind of cut
himself off
from all political talk he
pussied out
yeah I totally pussied out
cheese what
something up the other day I
wanted to
get some clarification on
something that
he should know about and I
don't he's
too much man he's too crazy so
I got
nothing much man he's too crazy
so I got
um unfortunately this type of
thinking
and I'm one of this is just the
background it's just a chant
clip just
that you'll understand very
quickly
what's going on this is from
the DC
rally and this is a video
that's in the
show notes any show knows calm
and it's
it's like a dude named Ben type
guy long
hair you know that kind of has
the the
physique of a dude named Ben
he's
wearing a trump 2020 t-shirt
and he's
surrounded by the counter
protesters and
that we've determined that the
word
racist does not mean the same
as and
it's okay words can change
meaning that
racist if colorist means you're
actually
against someone else from from a
different skin color although
it hasn't
been used it could technically
you could
be a colorist against white
people
although I haven't heard it
technically
used that way but it does seem
the
definition is open for that
racist
implies the institutional
racism of the
white man mainly against all
other
people bright yeah discuss in
that essay
write hate speech
as we've learned in our civics
class and
I think they still teach it
maybe not is
still free speech and is
permissible
under the Constitution under
the First
Amendment I don't know who
teaches that
because when when the students
or others
are grilled on it by a man on
the street
or by a survey they don't think
hate
speech is not protected by the
Constitution general I think the
majority of people feel that way
well it's very very very
discouraging to
me to hear this because you
know you and
I grew up with I don't like
what you say
but I will defend your right to
say it
and sticks and stones may break
my bones
no no with that we saw that
change four
years ago words hurt is now
just the
phrase hey words hurt but this
is this
is a DC rally and not and I
don't know
if we'll play the whole thing
but not
only do you hear that racists
don't have
the right to free speech it's
just not
protected of the Constitution
[Music] of the Constitution
[Applause] of the Constitution
[Music] of the Constitution
[Applause] of the Constitution
now the crowd gets into it
[Applause] the crowd gets into
it
it's discouraging to hear this
race and
I can't understand a word of it
I think
is worse clip ever you're
welcome racist
don't have the right to free
speech in
Cajun yes racist don't have the
right to
free speech
so this has gone a step further
now yeah
that is a step further that's a
step in
the wrong direction it's very
wrong
direction so white men don't
have free
speech is the way I translated
now you
don't have that right anymore
because
you've been racist you're
you're kind
has been racist you need to
shut up you
don't have the right to free
speech
well that's what we were
witnessing when
they evergreen take over what's
going on
and it was just pretty much
telling the
teachers to shut up now you
have no
rights to speak to us but let's
just
talk about yeah let's not talk
about it
let's come back after our break
and
we'll do something on press
freedom
because you know the press
believes they
have all kinds of rights which
I believe
they actually don't have
with that reverse things I'd
like to
thank you for your courage to
say in the
morning to you John says these
things
for Clarence is for pussies
Dvorak way
anymore new mr. Adam curl so in
the
morning all the ships at sea
boots on
the ground feet near the water
and all
the Dames the nights out there
yes in
the morning to everybody in the
troll
room no agenda stream calm good
to have
you all here as usual I've been
very
helpful this morning and that
is highly
appreciated also I'd like to
say in the
morning to Darrin O'Neill again
comes back with an outstanding
album art for episode 1060 the
title of
that was Austin beatniks tenth
one zero
six zero no agenda notes comm
and this
was Alex Jones as Bart Simpson
but it
really was I think he rendered
a whole
new drawing of Alex Jones with
his
vitality boner pill drink and
he was
writing on the board I will not
call
people to arms on Twitter over
and over
again it's the classic iconic
Bart
Simpson blackboard pose and we
couldn't
find that this has been done
anywhere so
we leave I want to express the
methodology we use when we
picked the or
what at least an aspect of it
yeah
although we have been the
tricked hmm
but generally speaking we don't
like
people to use - if you're gonna
use
derivative art they have to
change it
enough and make it funny enough
that
it's okay you can do it but if
they
provide something that's just
somebody
else's art unless it's in the
public
domain and just wrap something
around it
like the No Agenda stuff that
we always
do it no it's not good enough
so when we
see something that's so
outstanding
we immediately assume the worst
it's not
because we distrust the artist
necessarily is to protect them
as well
because what's also that well
besides
for taking them it's that when
you see
something like this you go or
you say to
yourself how did he get this
done in
this amount of time that's
something
else similarly done that is yet
who
knows yeah there's no evidence
that this
was anything but original and
and then
he had the cool little moniker
for us
longtime podcast personality
Adam curry
and foamer John sees war over I
gotta
tell you the
the amount of requests for that
ISO clip
is more than anything we've
ever had
it's a winner is a winner total
winner
well thank you very much
Darren it's highly appreciated
great
work it really makes a
difference when
you see where we have not been
deep
platformed Oh yet so you know
so we show
up in in iTunes and podcast and
all the
other odds away since the
picture of the
dog with his paw to his head
side of his
head yeah who's been for
podcasts and
none of them on the Roku app
have none
of the artworks have shown up
since that
picture hmm has anything been
changed
I've no not that I'm aware of
okay no idea cuz I was look as
I go to
the Roku app every so often to
see how
the art looks and I because I
wanted to
see this particular piece for
sure and
it was just a white blank hmm
that's
strange I I really don't know
mmm okay
no hopefully our Roku Gow yeah
or gal we
have no idea who does a lot of
this diet
yeah we love it now he's
contacted me
before okay it's a guy okay let
us thank

valuable deconstruction you can
take up
and propagate formula is this
we go out
weird people in the mouth
[Applause] people in the mouth
[Music] people in the mouth
okie-dokie way ase I have to
press
freedom which is not a thing by
the way
I think this is snuck in and
we've
identified it but we need to
keep
mentioning the First Amendment
speaks of
the freedom of speech but also
the
freedom of the press well so
should we
read it just the verbatim just
to make a
little more interesting as well
you've
done it before and nobody seems
to
remember let's just make sure
we do it
right there we go
Congress shall make no law
respecting an
establishment of religion or
prohibiting
the free exercise thereof or
abridging
the freedom of speech or of the
press or
the right of the people
peaceably to
assemble and to petition the
government
for a redress of grievances so
the
government can make no law
that abridges the freedom of
speech what
does abridge mean well let's
take let's
do do it by the definition
shortcut the
actual definition the actual
the actual
definition is to shorten or to
curtail
that's the legal definition is
curtail
and be curtail curtail so that
Congress
may not curtail now it says
curtail the
freedom of speech and they may
not
abridge the freedom of the
press now
let's understand that the
freedom of the
press is it relates to freedom
of speech
and the way I think this has
always been
understood by the Supreme Court
who
claims to be the highest
authority is
that that means you can print
whatever
you want say whatever you want
you can
print whatever you want even
that can
not the government cannot stop
that now
can you be sued for libel and
are there
things that over the years
we've agreed
to that are not okay incitement
to
violence is the main one sure
it does
not mean that the press is
better than
citizens like myself or Jhansi
Dvorak
they have more privileges they
have just
nothing nothing extra doesn't
mean you
get to that you have the right
to go and
be in the White House briefing
room
doesn't mean any of that
but the press wants you to
believe it
and it's it's discouraging
so here is well actually a lot
of
mistakes in this one this is a
CBC
report from Kanda Naevia and
this is
regarding the hundreds of
newspapers
that all wrote editorial board
statements or op-eds about
Trump calling
the fake news media the enemy
of the
people fake news media the
enemy of the
now he did at one point say the
fake
news media like CNN so
definitely he has
literally called CNN fake news
media yes
so more than once so they they
have an
actual grievance I think if
anybody does
but now I again you know so we
come to
the incitement part of you know
if
you're calling someone the
enemy of the
people is that a hate speech
that
incites violence yeah that is
something
that could be discussed for a
long time
and that's really what the
journals are
doing except they keep changing
it a
little bit to the press the
Free Press
is the enemy of the people the
media is
the ending is the people the
journalists
are the enemy of the people
none of that
was ever said they have done it
and they
are creating a very poor
situation out
of something that's already
shit but
look at the work you're
delivering
so here's CBC of just a lot of
bad
quotes in this hundreds of
newspapers
across the United States are
fighting
back against the US president
today
dailies weeklies national
publications
are all launching a coordinated
editorial campaign just even
those words
you know they're fighting back
really
are they for the fighting is
are they
sort of is it a real fight if
we're
gonna talk about words let's
really
analyze them all standing up
for press
freedom headlines standing up
for press
freedom which is meaningless
making the
rounds the move is in response
to Donald
Trump calling the news media
the enemy
of American people oh it's even
better
now in Canada Navia no it's not
that
it's the America is the news
media yeah
is the enemy of the American
people yeah
but it's the new
it's not the fixed news media
it is the
news media so we've already
were already
just misquoting at best lying
at worst
one of the papers taking part
in the
call to action is the st. Louis
post-dispatch in Missouri
Todd Roberson is the editorial
page
editor and he says the
president's
barrage against the media
erodes public
trust with journalists across
the
country when the public is told
that the
truth is fake and fake false
information
is truth it just creates chaos
people
don't know who to believe
anymore
like the guys he fumbles it a
little bit
doesn't he we talking about
well hello it's chaos remember
it's our
favorite theme chaos chaos we
gotta
bring chaos back across the
country when
the public is told that the
truth is
fake and fake false information
is truth
it just creates chaos people
don't know
who to believe it no kidding we
don't
know who to believe what do you
think
this is all about anymore for
10 years
we've been doing this show no
kidding
the people don't believe the
news media
and and and democracy cannot
function
properly in that kind of a
circumstance
our main front is pretty much
sorry I
noticed from the other
editorials that I
was able to review if there are
a lot of
them there so it's hard to
review them
all but but there's a
consistent thread
throughout which is that when
you listen
someone any group of people
place this
label on them you target them
for attack
and we all feel it's just a
matter of
time you fall let me see so for
instance
if you if you label someone
literally
Hitler and just as bad as the
Nazis
ripping children from mothers
arms when
you label someone like that do
you think
that could cause an issue do
you think
that if they're really truly
were Nazis
that you know smart people
patriotic
people wouldn't go out and kill
the
Nazis wouldn't go out and kill
the
I guess that that logic is lost
on this
dick people place this label on
them you
target them for attack and we
all feel
it's just a matter of time
before some
vigilante somewhere takes the
law into
his own hands and this has to
go after
the enemy yes yeah
that's the problem we have here
these
guys don't seem to recognize
they're
just worried about their own
skins
nobody knows who they are I
mean you
read any newspaper look on this
road
about 30 guys your body lines
in there
you read them you know who
these guys
are you never seen them they're
not on
television now but they feel
that
they're heroic
I think oh you know they really
have a
high regard for themselves and
they
don't they are to know
according to the
Constitution of the United
States of
America codified in 1789 you
have no
extra right above me I can do
or or or a
church or church guys in a
crowd you
just shaking their fists
you have no extra right none
press freedom here's some more
journals
on NPR same topic I think that
one thing
you're gonna love this by the
way the
and you've got to talk to your
journal
friends about this one I think
that one
thing that people are finding
some
difficulty in I'm talking not
not the
president but the public who has
received this negatively is
that they do
see these coordinated
editorials as some
sort of a either bias or be
attack on
the president and I saw saw
them as
neither just as the president
would
stand up and strongly protect
article 1
of the Constitution because
that's where
the executive power is derived
from
members of the press the
journalism as
an industry is the only trade
that is
expressly protected by the US
Constitution Wow that to me is
if do
they really believe this that
the trade
of journalism I actually am
subscribed
to that too well I think is
horseshit
the trade as an industry as an
industry
you're protected by the
Constitution
oh great as an industry she
says yeah I
think so I agree with that the
industry
is protected by what difference
is there
between your industry and just
people
well that's protected by the
Constitution too but the point
is the
point is not that it's got any
special
protection it just happens to
be the
only one mentioned in the
Constitution
that's protected but it's it's
not it's
not a person it's not a church
it's not
just press the press the framing
bloggers ah ah okay so if I'm a
blogger
I am then protected as a part
of the
same industry I think so okay
let's go
try that out should we go to
the White
House briefing room see how we
do I'm a
podcaster my industry is
protected under
the First Amendment the podcast
industry
I think so yeah article one of
the
Constitution because that's
where the
executive power is derived from
members
of the press the journalism as
an
industry is the only trade that
is
expressly protected by the US
Constitution is the act of
running a
church a trade no it's not is
it is it
an institution
I just consider it a church and
I guess
I think you could make the
arguments in
institution sure
Pressley protected by the US
Constitution and that's what
this is a
reminder that there is a
freedom of the
press and pushing against that
goes
against always goes against the
spirit
of that rule if not the letter
and the
president's attack you know
just as
Aaron said as the enemy of the
people
howhow is that abridging
they're right
by saying that it's hateful
speech
towards them but how is it a
bridge and
by the way none of those op-eds
were
reminder of this know they were
bitching
and moaning about being called
enemy of
the people yeah that's not a
run a point
you and that point you are
correct sir
okay but it's just the letter
and the
president's attack you know
just as
Aaron said as the enemy of the
people I
mean that's I think what you
really want
to say if you guys usually
press people
would actually do your job and
stop
slanting news like the one we
had in the
last show with Lester Holt
making up
quotes that didn't exist and
people
saying that the president said
this when
he didn't or saying the
president said
this when he didn't doing that
over and
over and over again and then
making it a
meme that is not doing your job
that is just writing propaganda
I mean
if you did this issue wouldn't
even be
discussed on this show if the
press was
honest they're dishonest it
doesn't
matter that I'm fine with it
because
they can be as dishonest as
they want I
really don't care that's what
creates
the problem if they weren't
dishonest
they wouldn't get all this flak
no we
just sometimes get it wrong but
we
always correct they don't this
is what
this is this is what they say
back to
you they're wrong it's hot I've
read I
read at least it's like the
Syria red
line bombing of the gas to
first go
around it was it was proven out
time and
time again to be the the more
weapons of
mass destruction tubes come on
always
goes against the spirit of that
rule if
not the letter and the
president's
attack the letter and the
president's
I goes if not the letter it's
why I'm
picking the report goes into
the spirit
of that is a reminder that
there is a
freedom of the press and
pushing against
that goes against always goes
against
the spirit of that rule if not
better
said that's bullshit
if pushing against that goes
against the
spirit if not the letter No
and the president's attack you
know he's
actually exercising free speech
says
Aaron set as the enemy of the
people I
mean that's a really really
strong
denouncement that's you know to
put us
in the same category as those
folks who
would commit terrorist attacks
or
something against the United
States is
really outrageous what a
terrorist
attack has something to do with
the
First Amendment now
and I think it's important to
point that
out I don't think that's being
unbiased
I think that it's an important
assertion
of the Constitution and its
protections
of journalists okay I think
you've made
your point
you beating this poor with
people to
death we know they're full of
crap it's
not really and it did much of
an issue
there's something in there that
galled
you dinner some just some well
yeah the
day as a class of people of
workers and
industry are protected by the
Constitution and you agree with
it I
don't I think it's just no I
think the
the the act of printing words
whether
that's you know modern-day
video doesn't
matter you can say whatever you
want it
doesn't mean that journalists
are
protected like oh don't touch
him no
more than I am in fact I think
you made
that point right off the bat I
don't
think well they don't you say
something
hurt me I'm repeating it then
don't
don't don't
something did you I don't know
what it
was I just told you what it was
that's
what well you know the press
has got you
know the problem is is yeah I
know what
you're trying to say I know
what you're
saying is that everybody has
these
freedoms and why is the press
holding
themselves high and mighty above
everyone else when and talked
to all
they have is the printing press
at their
you're the broadcasting tower
or the
podcasting microphone or
whatever they
want yes are they special and
they're no
special than the average person
standing
on the corners right so it's the
arrogance that is taught in
j-school
that they are special is I
think what
irks me them is what arcs me the
arrogance of we're special I
agree yeah
you can argue that okay well
that's it
you are not high and mighty
I've dot let's go to a switch
do this
because in this I have a little
Andrea
Mitchell screw first of all
there's this
discussion is subtle right now a
discussion of privatizing the
FDA
it's now war yes yes yes this
is by the
way you know that right now we
have
15,000 enlisted soldiers and
30,000
contractors now Afghanistan
Erik Prince
discusses Andrea Mitchell and
Erik
Prince of course wants to get a
piece of
the action and know ever since
this
guy's folded his tent and
started new
companies he he's working like
his
analysis working for China he's
working
for a whole bunch of other not
getting
us contracts ok go work over
here
well and even that's
exaggerated though
apparently but let's listen to
his take
down of the situation as it now
exists
because she brings him on to
criticize
him obviously a sentence in him
it's an
NBC operation and that she's
hoping to
get is go but he's just really
good at
explaining what's really going
on I
really enjoyed this what about
oversight
what about a you know the chain
of
command if you're had private
no right
now you do have one company for
private
security that is licensed in
Hong Kong
this is Andrea Mitchell I
betcha her but
the clip I'm looking for is
Erik Prince
I'm sorry is Erik Prince and
former Navy
SEAL the founder of Black Order
and the
former firm that had faced
years of
investigations for its role in
Iraq no
longer exists he has now
launched a new
security organization and he's
pushing
for the privatization of the
war in
Afghanistan mr. Prince thank
you thank
you much for over being here
what would
be the advantages of
privatizing given
all the objections from the
Pentagon
from the State Department from
the rest
of a military first of all
privatization
is a loaded term right there's
right now
there's 15,000 US troops and
another
30,000 contractors all I need
all my
plan would say 2000 US Special
Forces
remain and about 6,000
contractors so by
any stretch that is a severe
reduction
in manpower and certainly in
spending
right now America this year
2019 will
spend sixty two billion dollars
just in
Afghanistan that's more than
the entire
UK defense budget so if people
are
concerned about domestic
spending or
budget deficits
or the fact that we have
Americans dying
fighting and dying there now as
recently
as last week who were infants
when the
twin towers came down we now
have our
first multi-generational war
and I'm
trying to get a rationalization
of it
what worked after 9/11 where a
few CIA
officers a few Special Forces
and some
air support and they devastated
the
Taliban in a matter of weeks if
we when
we shifted six months after
9/11 to a
very conventional battle plan
effectively repeating what the
Soviet
battle plan was in the 1980s we
have
been losing ever since we've
been losing
blood and treasure and just as
recently
as this week when you have four
simultaneous attacks across the
country
killing 350 Afghans and blowing
up 50
kids in Kabul who are studying
for exams
that is not what winning looks
like yeah
yeah and there's our friend
blood and
treasure back again haven't
heard that
in a couple of years yeah like
the term
well he goes on there's a bunch
of funny
stuff and then but then they go
into
this thing where Andrea was
given false
information that's used and he
he was
very gentle with her in passing
like no
ice not this never would goes
like this
it was very interesting but it
was she
skit you can hear I wish you
could see
it because she's so flustered
over this
information she's reading
condemning him
about something or other about
his
relationship with China in
those schools
and giving nonsense throwing
nonsense at
him and he rebukes it all it's
very
funny clip what about oversight
what
about a you know the chain of
command
get your head private no right
now you
do have one company for private
security
that is licensed in Hong Kong
you train
in a rented facility in Beijing
you've
graduated at least 5,000 from
there
already Oh mmm no not the
company that I
have anything to do with
there's not
done anything like that no
question
we've grown oh we've graduated
yeah 20
or 30 employees how cool is this
Business School has materials
claims
that prior to our involvement
look
you're in November when you
were giving
the the giving them a
commencement
message the giving them a
commencement
Skype correct those releases
those are
the first 20 company employees
that's it
anyway going back to
Afghanistan I think
he's smart she tried to do a
gotcha on
him smart she tried to do a
gotcha on
yeah failed told fail and then
she tried
later I didn't have this clip
and I
probably should have she goes
and she
tries this tricks where she
says she
tries to get him flustered by
saying
what do you think about Donald
Trump
calling people names
he's called your sister ditzy
DeVos yeah
which is not confirmed it's
just a rumor
it's a rumor she's glad to use
and he
just passed he laughs that off
really
easily just wheels on to the
next topic
he has a he's very
single-minded this
guy's not get sidetracked I
like this
guy the interesting thing is
that with
the Benghazi attack on the
embassy all
those guys were contractors so
what
happens when those who are left
over who
weren't killed in action now
what
happens to them well not only
do they
have all their security
clearances
pulled but they also had to
sign NDA's
along with all the other
survivors if
you remember we have there were
53
survival brennan by though
that's yes
brennan pulled their
credentials Brennan
made him sign NDA so they
couldn't talk
about it
yeah curtailing their freedom
of speech
and well nobody wants to bring
that up
except us and sure knows
because we're
journalists that's why cuz we
do K we
are we are we are sure T sure
knows baby
I by Jardel don't de platform e
bro
we're journals oh man okay well
then
we're gonna go in that
direction I got
one more clip this one cracks
me up
because for one thing if you're
gonna do
the report to scare the public
about the
threat of hurricanes in
California this
is a global warming story that
showed up
my believers on CBS and it was
like just
a scare harum-scarum story that
we're
gonna have hurricanes because
of the
temperature rising in the
oceans the
problem is when you start to
deconstruct
the story they have they have
dates in
there that don't coincide with
the
current global warming scheme
temperature in the Pacific all
go hit a
record high this month and
there are new
concerns rising water
temperatures could
bring hurricanes to California
Jamie
yuccas is there Harvey and
Katrina
we're among the Hurricanes that
have
ravaged the East Coast and Gulf
of
Mexico but here in California
hurricanes
are virtually unheard of what
do you do
in that case of a hurricane I
don't know
I can't imagine like that kind
of
devastation hitting the stores
here
hurricanes that form in the
eastern
Pacific Ocean usually don't
make it past
Baja California only one
managed to
reach as far as San Diego in
1858
however there's now the
potential this
rare event could strike the San
Diego
area again oceanographer art
Miller it
could happen especially if the
ocean
temperatures continue to stay
in this
anomalously warm state it's
very simple
scientists at the Scripps pier
have been
recording historic temperatures
in the
Pacific Ocean as high as
seventy nine
point five degrees that's about
ten
degrees above normal but what
has the
temperature above normal but
what has the
showed you over the last week
or so it's
shown that we have been right
at or
outside the record temperatures
that
were already set back in the
30s so we
know that we are experiencing a
very
extreme temperature event that
potentially increases the
likelihood
that a hurricane might track
just a
little bit further north than
it would
have even though California has
been
battle tested by fires
mudslides and
earthquakes the widespread
impact of a
hurricane on lives and property
is still
unknown this is worse than fake
news the
public needlessly well
meanwhile one did
slip by and I think before he
finished
out I do want to mention two
things
about that story one was they
do mention
1858 when a hurricane
apparently hit San
Diego and then they say the
temperatures
of the getting to the where
they were in
the 1930s 80 years ago its
conditioning
baby conditioning it's getting
you ready
for crisis it wasn't slipped by
me
although it did come up in the
household
was I think it started why know
where it
started but the really once
Mother Jones
published it Mother Jones got
to think
of other Jones is good Mother
Jones
Mother Jones of true journalism
that's
where corn is fish report
oatmeal
breakfast foods contain unsafe
amounts
of weed killer Oh breakfast
where the
dose of roundup the roundup
chemical
found responsible for cancer
might also
be in your oatmeal we had a
clip the
last show yes well I figured
the origins
finally got to the oranges of
it the
Environmental Working Group
have we ever
dealt with these guys before
I said the name rings a bell
yeah well
this there's they're sponsored
by a
whole bunch of organic food
brands
they're nonprofit a 501 4 C
which means
they're lobbying group and they
just
published a report not in a
scientific
journal and just published a
report on
the blog and uh look at this we
got the
proof now yeah you could find
all kinds
of stuff so all kinds of trace
amounts
in in products and I'm sure
that they
might have found some trace of
glyphosate in in oatmeal the
actual by
their own admission in the
report what
they found was a hundred times
less than
the EPA threshold it's like the
what is
the the the plastic stuff that
though
there's a bunch of different
plastics
yeah we talked about it's the
stuff that
the traffic cones from that's
in mac and
cheese yeah back right yeah
that goes
way back that discussion like
none of
this is healthy obviously but
this was
Jay and the press gobbles it up
it's a
it's a great great toss away
before the
top of the hour you can you can
toss it
in just before the break and
now a crazy
story Wow if you buddy yeah and
and
we're so used to it that you
know we
just shake our head like you
know
whatever Oh what next won't
move on yeah
but you gotta call it out it's
just PR
job it's just a PR job the
Environmental
Working Group all kinds of fun
little
organic product brands
sponsoring that
way to go guys way to go the
way I do
have an I so from their last
clip of
mine an I so from their last
clip of
okay I have it here I can't
understand
all its ah there goes the house
no it's
not nice call wait do I know
you already
have one I know I know I know
here's a piece of news that's
really
kind of interesting this is
again this
reminds me a little bit about
that like
that Michelle Goldberg in her
Angela
Merkel runs the world it's like
it's I
think this is a bad sign by the
way when
the employees who should be
just doing
their jobs if they want to get
into
management or the board of
directors I
mean that's different than just
being
some schlub doing you know
working on
code no offense
Ben but here's what's going on
this is
the Google story 1,400 workers
at Google
have signed a letter protesting
their
company's plans to launch a
service in
China that will allow Chinese
censors to
block search terms about human
rights
democracy religion and peaceful
protest
The New York Times reports the
workers
say the plan raises urgent
moral and
ethical issues earlier this
month the
intercept reported Google's
project
codenamed dragonfly was
launched in the
spring of last year and
accelerated
after Google's CEO met with a
top
Chinese government official in
December
this is what always happens to
the
revolution it always eats itself
and and I you know this is a
part of a
a bigger conversation about the
social
networks because the social
networks
really and truly have F
themselves and I
think a lot of Silicon Valley
companies
are doing this you know Google
their job
is to collect the world's
information
and that's what they say and we
got all
the information and then they
disseminate that out and they
make money
on that so they have a network
you know
in their cases do you know they
got a
huge network of people and
computers and
actual networks as does
Facebook and
Twitter they all have networks
yeah and
but you know when you no longer
control
the people through you know the
Pavlovian feedback loops and
people say
wait a minute
I could actually use this
against the
network itself which is where
you know
this is where am i you can't
monetize
the network comes from because
at the at
the bottom line whether it's an
ad based
platform which we or not an ad
based
publisher like Twitter or
Facebook or
whether it's a technology
company Google
they all use the network and
they can't
you ultimately cannot fight the
network
look Alex Jones gonna be the
platform
from everything is that gonna
stop
hundreds of thousands of people
uploading his audio and his
videos to
Twitter no what will have to
happen
we've got to go police it how
do you
police it well we know AI is a
lie
because I see them hiring the
the face
baggers right behind me here in
downtown
Austin they want to have three
thousand
by the end of next year and we
know from
our Intel or uber Intel that
they're
being trained to watch every
single
video on Instagram every single
video on
the Facebook to make sure that
it passes
the community standards but it
doesn't
matter community standards but
it doesn't
by the way just a sight can you
imagine
having that job that has got to
be
mind-numbing oh I think you
need to be
on pharmaceutical helpers no
doubt so
all of this you
you've unleashed the Beast
you've taught
everyone how to use the
networks and now
they're using it they're using
it
against the networks themselves
I see no and of course
billion-dollar
companies don't go away
overnight but
you know if someone if someone
really
got pissed off about it we're
unimportant but let's just say
there
were enough people that got
pissed off
about the No Agenda show but
that is
easy you just target
advertisers you
make a lot of noise like hey
you know
hey Nikes advertising on this
platform
that has too no agenda show
well we're
gonna boycott them like he
doesn't care
if you can see that he adds or
not they
don't want to be involved hey
we have no
media that's always the answer
when you
see the sleeping giant people
going
after a media matters going
after
companies so like you know what
yeah I
mean we're not gonna advertise
there for
a while we're kind of done
right we just
don't want to be involved in it
you know
there's all kinds of ways that
the
network is working against the
companies
they they are and if and by the
way if
we actually figured this out
think of
how powerful we would be
we really would be very very
powerful
it's why are they interested oh
no no of
course none of that power trip
we just
like to deconstruct a few news
stories
I'm not talking about us per se
but the
people the people themselves
well yeah
the point at the point I was
making was
that they can't even control
first of
all I wrote it got column
saying it's
fine for that Google goes into
China and
does whatever China you know
there's
just a business and what's the
point but
you got all these cuz you're in
Silicon
Valley and everybody's for some
I don't
know how this happened by the
way how
everybody became like a
left-wing Bernie
supporter and you kid really
the whole
area it's just overnight and so
they you
know so now Google has or
Google of
their employees are turning on
them I
would just fire every one of
the people
that had anything to do with
does they
got enough people to back you
know just
fire everybody he's gotta get
more firm
of course it would cause even
more
problems might kill itself yeah
that's a
mess when you have a PC culture
and you
have people fueled by pcs it's
like PC
squared people fueled by pcs
it's like PC
that's an incredible power you
got the
political correctness and
you've got a
computer and you can literally
force EC
square a-square you like it I
worked on
that it's one of those hey man
I just
took a hit off yes it could be
done
right it would have to be the
piece
you'd have to be in parents in
the
squared sign have to be after
that
because otherwise it's PC
squared oh
yeah we don't want that you
want to yeah
we that's to be mathematically
correct
yeah so now you know
and I just see people aren't
real it's
the same thing I said about
Alexandria
Ocasio Ortez everyone's
laughing about
her bring her out more of her
that's
exactly what they said about
Trump be
very very careful not to be you
don't to
necessarily be a genius on the
outside
you may be on the inside but
even who's
looking stupid you can still
become
president so just be ready and
you can
be stupid and still become
president so
all that's very possible but
the the
idea is missed on everybody
just like
Phil Mudd not know he's getting
paid to
be on CNN to talk about how he
never
uses his security clearance to
do stuff
like be on CNN so when you're
all saying
yeah we all get together we
just want to
ban somebody it can be done
continuously
one guy one he's not I hadn't
I've never
considered him a lefty but he's
liberal
and he's gets in trouble all
the time
it's part of his schtick is
Bill Maher
Bill Maher tries to defend the
free
speech of Alex Jones on his
show this
weekend and it had a panel of I
can't
remember the names all these
people
doesn't matter that he's just
listen to
what they're saying what their
true
beliefs are then you can
replace Alex
Jones for the No Agenda show it
doesn't
matter you know I've said
things that
are hateful I'm sure you can
find
something somewhere no problem
John even more so know my free
speech
for a minute because Alex Jones
who is
not my friend and who tells
crazy lies
about me is thrown off Twitter
I think
and Facebook and a few of the
platforms
I think he's gonna
[Applause] think he's gonna
well if you're a liberal you're
supposed
to be for free speech that's
free speech
for the speech you hate that's
what free
speech means we're losing the
thread of
the concepts that are important
to this
country if you care about the
real
American shit or you don't and
if you do
which goes for every side
listen you can
hear pain drop everyone's very
confused
the panel is puzzled
I don't like Alex Jones but
Alex Jones
gets to speak everybody gets to
speak
sure but he doesn't necessarily
get to
speak if a guy goes out and
this is not
opinion if he engages in vile
slandered
and fabrication about that about
children who were murdered at
Sandy Hook
and he harasses the parents of
children
who were murdered at Sandy Hook
Facebook Twitter none of them
have an
obligation to provide him a
platform
even more importantly you know
this is
not the internet 1996 where you
put up a
website and you know he's using
like the
public pipes like these
companies
Facebook YouTube Twitter these
are the
majority of time Americans
spent on the
internet right we're talking
these for
the air this is ABC CBS NBC
right and
making money off of him they're
running
ads against him so so you know
I agree
with you about free speech and
that's of
concern to me as well I also
don't think
those companies should be
profiting off
of what he's saying
you hear this listen carefully
Google
face bag Twitter Instagram
Pinterest all
you people MailChimp listen
carefully
they don't want you to profit
off of
people they don't agree with
that is
Alex Jones today that is Jen
briny
tomorrow right we're talking
these for
the air this is ABC CBS NBC
right and
they're making money off of him
they're
running ads against him so so
you know I
agree with you about free
speech and
that's of concern to me as well
I also
don't think those companies
should be
profiting off of what he's
saying
we all agree on that
the private enterprise does not
have any
obligation right if you make a
t-shirt
that says your mother sucks
cocks in
hell right
they don't have to sell it at
Baby Gap
you know we have to admit I
thought that
was pretty funny
as a concept we have to
understand that
the way to get rid of hateful
things is
to the sunlight best disinfect
it and a
good example is wait a second
the
alt-right rally yeah
what right to the Nazis the
remember
last year in Charlottesville's
they had
their rally again yes 20 people
showed
up okay not because we outlawed
it but
because we let it happen the
first time
and these mental midgets found
out oh
it's not so great when you do
this in
public because then you go back
to the
office and people don't like
yourself
yeah but she abandoned all Steve
bannon's on television tonight
into that
we got to get into the into our
safe
spaces because Steve bannon's on
television tonight can you
believe
that's happening in these
United States
of America okay the first time
and these
mental midgets found out oh
it's not so
great when you do this in
public because
then you go back to the office
and
people don't like yourself yeah
but she
abandoned Steve bannon's on
television
tonight yeah I mean the
Albright hasn't
disappeared and what a YouTube
algorithm
was doing was funneling people
to Alex
Jones like YouTube's algorithm
is the
crossing guards attention
YouTube you're
being blamed for your algo pay
attention
Silicon Valley pay attention
like
bringing people to the unite
the right
the problem companies are
having they
don't know where to draw the
line they
know there are lines and
there's some
British douche who worked for
Axios
scared of their own shadows
they make
the tech the tech execs come to
Washington DC with their tails
between
their legs desperately trying
to have
these off the records with us
reporters
what can we do to be more
feeling and
they're squeezed from all ends
scared of
the Conservatives because the
service
have these things all they're
banning
banning us and they're scared
of the
left because the left saying
you know
clamp down on anyone who says
anything
offensive and they they're
scared of
their own shadows they're in a
crouch
and they don't know what well
except for
that they do need to act to at
least
uphold their own Terms of
Service which
is what they keep changing the
the
concern I have to your point
bill about
more speech which is your point
right
Maude these platforms in 2016
44% of
people who identified as
left-of-center
did not post anything about
politics on
their social media feed 44% on
the
Republican side on the
conservative side
it was only 8% why didn't they
post
because they didn't want to be
trolled
harassed or abused these
platforms yes
they are quasi public squares
but they
have an obligation to make sure
that
people are not harassed when
they use
them and that's why I think
this is an
important step it's only a week
suspension for pete's sake it's
not like
it yes the end of my mouth I
mean the
Twitter thing is just ridiculous
this is we're gonna have Alex
Jones you
know off Twitter for a week so
he thinks
about what he's done I mean
what like
he's some sort of uh you know
nine year
old who is you know say hey I'm
really
sorry about that yeah the kids
really
are dead and I am cute just
don't forget
that and he's cute okay it's
always a
good out and I'm cute so I see
the power
that is going to we're going to
witness
on social networks is is going
to be
immense it is going to be
against the
social networks they they're
it's all
over this interview it's all
over it
they like they can't profit off
of it
all these things that are all
wrong
people are now attacking the
platform
which is very interesting you
know the
platform should not should be a
moveable
a movable platform platform the
platform
you can't do anything with a
platform
but forcing up adding worms
jump on it now I've seen this
movie
before I've seen the
centralization
decentralization and right on
cue we
talked about it on Thursday we
have if
you look at how RSS and web
sites and
actually Dave Winer had all the
right
ideas Aras
the RSS cloud which has now been
supplanted by the
pub/sub than the active active
pub which
is just another protocol but it
includes
it all it actually functions
more like
an email box that terms in the
protocol
even say inbox outbox that's a
great way
for decentralized systems to
talk to
each other the vision was good
but now
it's been modernized and when
Twitter
turned off pieces of their
streaming API
there was an action on Twitter
and it
was the divest day where I had
some
stupid hashtag and I saw a huge
influx
of people moving to mastodons
all we
need because I remember how
Twitter
started but besides the fact
that they
were a podcast the
infrastructure
Network first Twitter became
big was put
on the map for one reason do you
remember who showed up on
Twitter that
made Twitter the place to go
who Twitter the place to go
Koecher and do me more all
right exactly
not only were they two massive
celebrities of huge interest
Ashton
Kutcher give him full credit he
showed
everybody give him full credit
he showed
he set the standard look
there's there's
to me more whoa you know
there's the
meet with Bed Head
oh here's meaning the more
making out it
would have I was like this is
fantastic
then we got the audience created
hashtags the audience create we
call it
a pound sign actually the
Twitter people
wanted them to bandanas they
want to ban
hashtags RT we stood for
retweet the
first time you showed up on
Twitter like
what the hell is is RT why is
RT without
the Russian television idea
what is
going on yeah good point
so when you move to masterda
all we need
is one celebrity couple and I
know which
one I have in mind to set up
their own
instance and you'll see a huge
dent and
I am now go to no agenda player
calm
because this is a message for
yay Kanye
I am calling you as a true
patriot for
you and Kim kardashian-west
to go to Mastodon and leave
Twitter I
tell you the money
opportunities for you
are a thousandfold bigger than
whatever
Kim is getting as an influencer
on on
all of her social media right
now
because you'll have no one
standing
there for a handout or a piece
of the
action or 30 percent you'll
have free
reign the audience will go go
yay okay
well I think this is another
good
example of one of our it's just
an idea
this will go probably as far as
everything else we do well
we're only
good at one thing yes
apparently but
this was just a call to action
so this
this is not a business I'm
going to be
in is not a business I'm going
to be
I'm just all and I'm sure that
you're
gonna get this maybe maybe
okay okay we got it we got it
we got it
let me see I did get some oh
did you see
the the bus stop signs in
London no oh
so face bag who of course are
worried oh
yes no I've seen these signs
these are
the big giant signs that say
yeah that
are I think they're parodies
and they're
no no no no no calling up no
it's better
than that face bag has an ad
campaign
and and you know big letters
fake news
is not our friend and then
underneath
they what we don't even know
what it
said originally because people
have gone
out and pasted in the same
large letter
type the following paragraph
after fake
news is not our friend then all
of a
sudden new is it's a great
revenue
source yes
next one data misuse is not our
friend
and underneath that it's it's
our
business model I mean this is
not only
is it fantastically funny it's
gorilla
it is backfiring on their
marketing
they're already afraid they
never
advertise but when did Facebook
ever
advertise but when did Facebook
ever
sighs so now didn't have to
ever since the congressional
hearings
they've been advertising and so
now
they're trying to say hey you
know we're
we're good you know we're all
good guys
come over here hang out with us
and
people are vandalizing their
entire
campaign this is beautiful this
to me is
the show right here this is the
show
okay then I had last thing oh
yes I got
a note
about the firewall issues how
this
trickles down when when someone
when
virtue signaling is in place
and Apple
says get him off and the social
networks
that get him off then the
firewall
companies like Palo a low net
Palo Alto
Networks start putting things
on their
block list and one of our
producers
where it works there he's an
engineer
and tries to help companies
stop all
these breaches you talk about
in the
show you said Alex Jones site
was
classified as questionable and
enhanced
blocked in the palo olive net
with Paolo
Alto Networks firewall system
which goes
apparently to thousands of
companies our
definition of questionable is
as below
that we define the URL based on
a
variety of different signals
first we
have tools that try and
automatically
define the category next users
can
submit for overrides to request
changes
to the categories which is what
looks
like happened in this case
automated
systems initially vet this then
it is
manually inspected by humans
I guess Palo Alto Networks no
offense
but has no AI either automated
systems
initially vet this then it's a
manually
inspected by humans it looks
like this
site has been classified as a
new site
recently until it was reported
for other
things see this is the problem
is the
reporting you have this
feedback loop it
seems like the compromise
between the
suggestions was to move it to
questionable instead of for
example
extreme extremism or hate speech
customers can request
reclassification
and provide rationale to argue
why it
should be different next a
customer
defines what they want to what
actually
want for each category if
something is
questionable they might allow it
depending on corporate policy
where
something like extremism will
probably
be a block so now you have all
of these
little decisions that are made
between
some skip logic and some greps
grep
commands okay this may be a
signal and
then a human being looks at it
makes a
classification than other
customers who
of course you know one company
to the
next level
an idea and it starts to get
categorized
and before you know he just got
a gray
mass of mush and all you can
see is yes
gives me the idea is it a
profitable and
an operation you know you
talked about
last show you talked about this
woman
with a block list yeah the
blocks
together a good idea you get
started to
think about this is a kind of a
company
of me it matters like operation
that's
got more of a octopus's
structure mmm so
you have your your main company
that is
going to use its ability to
find locate
certain kinds of operations
that you
want to shut down through
normal means
and so you you create these
boycott
lists which you could do we
have a
variety of them you could have
instead
of the one list that woman has
on
Twitter you could have maybe ten
different lists that if you
don't like
this and just subscribe to this
list you
put the button in it you get
the blocks
go into play with the from the
app
mm-hmm but meanwhile you have
this
octopus structure so if
something like
you get that you get Jones
kicked off of
the or put on a black list
someplace and
then you have people commenting
from the
different tentacles it's coming
in from
left and right it could only be
a small
team you don't need a lot of
people I
mean the Russians are doing
this with a
lot of people I think you do
with a
small team that well-paid team
who are
online all the time and you can
even
have some people in India or
elsewhere
to do this so we're not racist
it's fine
and you go in there and you can
reconfirm to go it's great that
you did
this you should block them and
that's
just if something starts to
come out of
it where they they have they're
never
gonna have an organized group
like you
would be mmm it with the octopus
operation which is super
organized or
when they cuz it's all nebulous
nobody
knows anybody right laters
coming in
from left field so what you're
saying is
the need for an organization
that the
octopus org sits on the top and
really
Corral's the message of all
these people
provides them the feedback loop
and
makes them feel good is that
what you're
saying well there's not much
more than
that it directs its efforts
towards
it's all politically motivated
so if
you're running a campaign for
some you
you work with the campaign for
example
is somebody running for the
Senate and
you do everything you can to to
to block
stifled is a dirty tricks
operation is
what it amounts to the Rogers
don't you
do you can't manage something
like that
but I mean it would be he would
be like
one of the guys would employ
because
he'd have ideas oh yeah of
course they
have great ideas and so you'd
have
actual commercial operation
they'd be
consultants and they would do
these
these dirty tricks and it would
be
because the way these things
come in the
way he described the Palo Alto
Networks
thing Oh somebody comes in and
they
asked for all right can you
look at this
again because I I think he
should be
these you should I should be
shouldn't
be on the blacklist well you
could have
ten people saying you should be
on the
blacklist people saying you
should be on the
I mean you could organize and
in fact if
this isn't organized already I'm
actually I'm actually surprised
I'd be
surprised I've talked to put
public
relations companies about these
ideas
and they're all like well you
know I
started really a great thing
and they'd
rather go off and do native
advertising
because there's a lot of money
in that
is as much money in this I
think so too
and that is actually something
we could
I mean you're just creating
another
value networks not that hard
yeah the message goes out hey
everyone
report this report this click
on report
report this yeah you'd have out
you
right you'd have a system of
messaging
to get the word out mm-hmm
bless you
well that's the beauty of it we
have
that system it's called Twitter
we just
use Twitter well you can use
the IRC to
feel it's more fun it's more
fun to use
themselves against themselves
well maybe
yeah that's funny that's funny
I'd like that
but I think as you know it's
something
to consider you know you get it
you need
you to need a good team a core
team and
you could create this octopus
structure
and you can start pushing
people around
all right so the newsletter is
our
delivery mechanism stay tuned
you will
hear more subscribe to our
newsletter
it's on every page of the show
notes
subscribe to the newsletter
just quickly
before we take our break here
you know
I've been rather obsessed with
going ot
G off the grid trying to we
have not had
a report for some time
yes well I'm extremely pleased
still
momentarily with the Kyocera
ultra what
does it take Eevee now ultra
during the
dura for seventy ten whatever
it is
because as a modern web browser
you can
do pretty much everything you
need to do
in a modern web browser you
don't need
to have all the apps and it
also doesn't
distract you because I can only
get text
messages or phone calls nothing
else
blings bloops bloops or flops
but the
problems are still rife
throughout our
world the largest lifeguard
organization
the DLR G is warning there's a
growing
number of child drownings this
summer
and that is linked to parents
not paying
attention because they're on
their
smartphones because they're on
their
sad is this that's pathetic and
I did
doesn't surprise me yes
another OTG in Reverse ie
a very bad thing is happening
in the
Netherlands very bad thing is
happening in the
that more and more people are
concerned
for their privacy and they when
they're
at organizations such as the
Harlem
coolin Airy Festival and the
Culinary
Festival is now it's like a
Food Fair I
guess it's in Harlem and the
organizers
you know a lot of people
apparently who
go to seminars and and you know
fairs
and events saying you know I
really
don't want to be photographed
and put on
social media which is I say
that to
people to well they're the
Dutch and
they have come up with a
fabulous idea
upon registration and not this
is truth
its fact upon registration you
check a
box say no I do not want to be
in photos
on social media and they give
you a red
dot to put on your head
once you put them put a yellow
cross on
your shoulder or a bull's-eye
for that
matter a red dot because then
the AI can
scan that and say oh we can't
post this
one because there's a red dot
person in
there because there's a red dot
person in
is that great or what that
right there
is another fabulous opportunity
cuz the
other dot of course should have
an RFID
chip in it all kinds of cool
stuff we
dragged them anyway
I do see a Silicon Valley is
the enemy
of me I don't want them
tracking me or
as little as possible and I was
thumbing
through my copy of Sun Tzu's
the art of
war over the weekend and I was
reminded
that I'm on the right path
because he
wrote when the enemy is bigger
than you

calling you out as an as a Nazi
or
whatever quadroon a Nazi
quadroon
apologist trumpeters exactly so
I found
a good one I've heard riches
Trump pansy
Trump pansy is good I like that
yeah
it's like a trump-like
chimpanzee butts
Trump pansy although it has a
kind of a
I would say it has a slight -
homophobic
sound to it that maybe it
shouldn't be
used yes I understand what
you're saying
let me see oh yes the electoral
college
was discussed on c-span the
other day
from a guy I know personally he
wants to
get rid of it of course and I
respect
this guy I've worked with him I
fought
lawsuits for things he believes
in and
won in that regard Creative
Commons as
far as I know I was the first
to a
challenge a copyright in court
to uphold
Creative Commons and it was
awarded and
Professor Lawrence Lessig very
well I'm
sure and I've always liked the
guy
although I do remember we got
in some
little scrape some online
back-and-forth
bitching about something I
can't really
hear he actually enjoys that
okay well I
recall in the previous election
he was
gonna be the candidate you know
hey give
me all your money and then I'll
call ya
and I'll have a really smart
person as
vice president I'll resign then
he can
be or she can become president
so now he
wants to get the convention
together to
create an amendment to the
Constitution
to abolish the Electoral
College and we
have so many international
listeners and
this is such a topic because
it's coming
back apparently because he's
trying to
make this happen and he's
predicted I
would like you to a bridge
that's what I
could say to a bridge the the
choice of
an electoral college and its
function so
that we can then understand if
it will
be good or not to get rid of it
and why
it's unique well the last
election was a
proof that the electoral
college does
have a function and that is to
keep one
state with too many people and
too many
too many votes from hogging the
in other
words here's what happened in
the last
election Hillary Clinton won
the popular
vote but only because and she
wanted by
about 4 million people but only
because
Trump was shut out of
California was not
really allowed to speak and so
she won
that those extra 4 million
people came
from one state California the
rest of it
was spread out in such a way
that I have
to stop I'm sorry I think one
of the
main problems is right there is
that
most people and most of those
would be
American don't understand the
model of
the states I think they just
think murca
one big country yeah no it's
not no
every state is rizzo every
state for the
international listeners every
state is
governed separately laws some
states you
can drink well used to be some
straits
you could drink when you were
18 others
21 different driving rules all
kinds of
things that
we might have sex various yes
oh yes
that's still in play
the Constitution the only job
the
Constitution has is to restrict
the
federal government to things
they can
and will really can't do but
the only
things they can meddle in and
everything
else everything else is
supposed to be
governed by the states that's
been mmm
gotten very grey over the years
through
a lot of social programs it's
not very
clear anymore but people are
forgetting
that the states have their own
laws
for instance I'm in a state and
I've
petitioned my government
frequently
where marijuana is illegal and
we're
gonna get it illegal in Texas
and if you
don't like that if you if you
think guys
but thicket is mad a case about
movies
then you can either risk going
to jail
or leave the state go to another
friendly state or 420 friendly
Shire
West Coast is legal so so the
idea is
electoral college was set up to
give it
just a fixed number of votes
where each
representing various states and
so if
you won because I don't know
what
California is but let's say
California
has 80 votes if California
votes for a
Hillary and she wins by one
vote all 80
votes go to Hillary if they
vote for
California and she wins by 4
million
votes those same 80 votes that
no more
go to Hillary just Oh same 80
and so the
problem is you don't want these
states
that are lopsided in favor of
one
candidate over another kind of
stuff in
the ballot
now the arts the argument that
comes
from in this particular case
from people
who wanted Hillary to win is
how is it
possible that a state like
Montana gets
to have equal representation in
the
Senate have equal
representation in the
and how can it be that they
have even
that many electoral votes
well the electoral votes are
based on
the population of the state so
that
Montana doesn't have more
electoral
notes than they deserve no but
once okay
continue than they deserve no
but once okay
and so did the idea is to keep
one state
from dominating the hope you
know the
the whole system
we don't want California
picking our
presidents which it would have
done if
Hillary had one
okay that's it it's all there
is to it
it's not that complicated
well the way
I always like to look at it is
the
system was put in place in case
we had
some form of mass hysteria
outbreak and
and people were trying to bully
in some
nutjob which is exactly what
people are
saying is what it would it
allowed
whereas I kept a criminal from
being
president exactly so it
actually worked
incredibly well but why
professor Lessig
fails to see this unit used a
big Hill
bot he's a he's a law guy I
mean this is
he's a professor of law a very
smart of
huge respect does he not know
the the
origins of the of the electoral
college
he knows everything but as far
as he's
concerned it doesn't work right
because
Hillary didn't win so he's a
he's dumb
no it's not dumb he's conniving
oh okay
well here's Damocles a real
hardcore
Democrat I know but to throw
your
credibility as a constitutional
scholar
into the wind by saying you're
you're
joking when you say this right
no he's making himself look
good how are
you kidding
history will be the judge of
that it's
incredibly difficult to imagine
our
Constitution being amended this
is a
general problem not just as it
affects
the the electoral college and
so you
know what we're tried to do is
the best
we can
given that really critical
constraints
on our constitutional process
with the
state compact how many states
will be
needed to make that change and
how many
states have signed on so the
compact is
triggered when the equivalent
of 270
electoral when the equivalent
of 270
have joined and right now we
have 12s
there are 12 states
representing a
hundred and sixty-five electors
that
have joined but the problem is
they've
kind of hit a very thick red
wall
because there's not yet a
solidly
Republican state that has
joined the
compact now that could change
people are
thinking about trying to bring
referenda
in states that allow referenda
because
what we know is that the public
overwhelmingly supports the
idea of a
president who actually
represents all of
America really know is the
public is
deeply skeptical as your
earlier callers
were of this electoral college
system
that seems to be just a random
number
generator increasingly in this
election
of our president so why people
could
decide I think it would be an
easy
question but we depend upon
these
politicians to bring the
national
popular vote compact to
fruition and and
they and despite the incredibly
hard
work of many people literally
since Bush
versus gore that still has not
come to
fruition I think you should be
stripped
of his clearance who the hell
knows he
does that to me that's just I
mean I'm
sorry he's throwing his
credentials to
the wind it's sour grapes well
yeah all
I know is he wouldn't be saying
any give
it ask him this well if if do
you
remember before the election
there was
no road to 270 for Donald Trump
no Road
and the electoral colleges
swing it was
gonna be a landslide as some of
these
guys would says lastly the
biggest ever
and the Republican Party was
gonna be
destroyed I would you if that
had
happened uh-huh
would you still be doing this
wait what do you mean in other
words if
she Hilary's gotten in with a
landslide
hitting nearly destroying the
Republican
Party yeah because there was no
road to
270 right would you still be on
this
bandwagon trying to get rid of
the
electoral college no of course
not
of course not that's not that I
understand John thanks but I
don't
understand how someone can just
say this
Hajis get the guy you know he
has
standing had standing it still
does with
his group yeah with his group
okay hi
let's face when he ran is for
president
with this cockamamie scheme
come on I
mean you know that's kind of a
credibility issue there that
idea I
think we laughed about it then
too
I think it probably had a
simpler
lead-in nutjob Elon Musk is
Zoey long I
should have had that one ready
did an
interview have had that one
ready did an
about his tweet you know taking
the
company private at oh yeah into
this you
can't do that it's wrong yeah
I'll do it
did you read did you read the
New York
Times interview no I just read
about it
oh yeah even mentions he was on
ambien
and yeah yeah no this is really
hurt the
company says stock Oh
immediately and
and out today came out there
was um
Azealia Banks who was a hip hop
hip
hopper she was tweeting that
she was at
Ilan's house and I guess she's
friends
with her wife and said I have
some of
the tweets here I wait around
all
weekend while Grimes coddled her
boyfriend for being too stupid
to know
not to go on Twitter while on
acid
I saw him in the kitchen
tucking his
tail in between his legs
scrounging for
investors to cover his after
ass after
that tweet this is what
Bankston told
The Business Insider of her
meeting with
the must last weekend he was
stressed
and red in the face
now of course must denied all
of this
but a little report from CNBC
who were
just baffled just baffled by
the price
of 4/20 just baffled by it why
kappa i
mean there there are some very
to me
very interesting but also
troubling
revelations in that interview
like let's
talk about the $420 prize I
mean he just
glanced at the stock price
tacked on 20%
and then rounded it up to 420
because of
putting put karma and the fact
that
that's like national marijuana
day he
acknowledged that that's in the
interview no I the way I read
it I
couldn't save he's explicitly
referenced
marijuana but it was written
for us to
draw that conclusion
dude let's split
okay good and I think you know
I can
imagine you know corporate
finance
students across America whose
years
learning how to do discounted
cash flow
we'll look at that and say you
know what
thought she had a thing at the
end there
yeah retina so but he's baffled
oh my
god now this kind of breaks my
whole
assumption that Elan was the is
the
golden child of the
intelligence and no
no I'm not I'm not backing off
because
if he gets through all this and
I still
think he'll take the company
private at
four-twenty then I think then
we'll all
have to say I was right
I'm still thinking look I'm
writing it
down I'm gonna tell was right
yes just
you just do that you just call
me any
time you want I will and just
say hey
Bryce you're right at 4:20 at
4:20
please write down the 420 420
or better
he's he's in a heap of trouble
yeah it sure looks like it by
the way
would you want to go on a
rocket with
him right now oh man I think he
goes on
a rocket every week yes now
amidst all
of this and this was a just a
fan
actually two-parter fantastic a
couple
of quotes this is Michael
Pillsbury he's
a big defense guy I think in
the bush
he was undersecretary for a
department
of defense he's Rand the
military-industrial complex from
beginning to end older guy gray
Greg I
don't think he has any direct
intelligence involvement but he
has
clearance trust me he's got
clearance
and he's out there talking for
a reason
so we're not going to be hood
when you a
blue shirt he's got gray hair
and don't
remember if it was a blue maybe
it was
right here
well he's now of course he runs
a
think-tank now so he gets to go
out
there with his credentials but
whether
he believes it or not I thought
his
assertions over what China
thinks of
President Trump were
interesting there
was a surprising piece written
by a
Chinese expert in the Financial
Times
recently that described the
Chinese
leadership some view of Donald
Trump and
and it came as I think
something is a
surprise if you follow the news
coverage
of Trump in this country it said
essentially Chinese leadership
believes
that our president is playing a
kind of
three-dimensional chess he's a
brilliant
tactician and that they fear
he's out
flanking them strategically is
do you
think that's right yes I was in
Beijing
a week ago I think I heard
pretty much
the same things that they think
President Trump is basically the
superior president out of the
last five
or six sarahx dealt with China
and he's
done the most alter the
relationship
he's really got their attention
they're
quite concerned that there's
something
deeper going on than they're
aware of so
you get this sense that the
Chinese
leadership and the advisors to
the
leadership are afraid of being
outsmarted by President Trump
he's distinguished himself is
fighting
back at all number one number
two the
details and the depth of his
allegations
in the several White House
reports he's
released are really quite
stunning to
the Chinese he is basically
alleging
that they stole their way to
the top
they've had forcible technology
transfers from US companies
these
outright stolen technology and
that they
they sort of have an
illegitimate path
to be number two in the world
that he
would say these kinds of things
especially this term is used in
some
reports economic warfare the
China is
committing economic warfare
against
America and other countries
this is
really quite astonishing to
them they're
used to being if you will
Connells or
spoken politely to so this is
really
quite a shock he's working I
think I
find that to be very interesting
yeah that's anyone here in the
mainstream media what was at
CNBC
no that was Tucker Carlson was
on Fox of
course on Fox
Tucker got that out yes
interest the guy
actually had a funny gaffe in
the same
little interview do you think
that so
far this change in our attitude
toward
China has helped unite him by
the way
his his gaffe will prove that
the No
Agenda show mind control works
states
have we gotten something out of
this
well it's kind of a strange
reaction but
we've certainly got the
attention of the
European Union the European
Union
Commissioner mr. Juncker came
here less
than a month ago it works it
works we've
programmed him to say drunker
instead of
Juncker Wow
[Music] Wow
Rutger is not really close to
younger
that's not really the same you
know I
was I was watching that in bed
last
night on the on the hearing aid
so you
know he's you can't hear any
God just
hear and I laugh so loud Tina
woke up I
could not believe I should not
believe
it oh by the way just want to
say don't
bother hearing aids so here's
Silicon
Valley for you so if I have
these
hearing aids Apple was the
first one to
come out with smartphone
integration for
streaming to your hearing aids
called
MFI made for iPhone I believe
it's an
open protocol I believe it's
published I
believe anyone can use it and
it's a
part of the Bluetooth high-five
streaming spec something
and there's a number of hearing
aid
manufacturers who you know
immediately
well not okay great we're
programming
for this we're good to go
Google comes
out with announcement yesterday
yeah
we're gonna support hearing
aids but it
can be a completely different
standard
and it's only gonna work on
these
hearing aids over here and what
I hate
these people
well that's pretty douchey that
is that
is the Google way I have to say
Apple is
very good at it themselves but
they
jumped on and supported this
and I guess
you get some first rights we're
talking
about a handicap an actual
medical issue
that you're now going to screw
with
people on I think I have an ad
a defense
here on I think I have an ad a
defense
yeah you do this might be
actionable yes
class you do this might be
actionable yes
you you do this might be
actionable yes
some actionable I know we got
lawyers
out there we got we got pink
invalid
lawyers what would he call when
you do a
hired he was law enforcement
man he
wasn't a lawyer he was the
Chinese the
horowitz just got back from
China he was
grilling people over there and
this is
last show but he I'm lucky to
get back
then he said what do you think
of our
president Trump and they said
all we
think is great because he's
doing
something about immigration the
Chinese
seem to be concerned about our
immigration policies so
interesting huh
oh I know why of course they're
because
they're concerned because they
don't
want the cheap labor to go to
factories
in America stuff like that yeah
but they
like him so they've you know
it's not
like if you go to Europe and
started
asking about Trump because the
Europeans
are part of the same the same
structural
news I mean the Chinese news is
not
pushed around by the New York
Times
the European news just
translates the
New York Times that's all that
I look at
the headlines every morning
there's an
email I get has all the Dutch
newspapers
from the left to the right to
the
intelligent the quasi and
everything in
between to the gossip rags the
headlines
are exactly the same as in the
United
States sure there's some local
flavor in
color for a couple of stories
you know
dog bites man a man died with
all the
bites dog but it all of its
like Trump
Yanks clearance oh there's no
journalism
in the EU
well there is but it's a lot of
copy-paste work and just
translating and
why wouldn't you you know yeah
you beer
up nice and early compared to
the US you
got the overnight stories boom
it's good
for a whole new cycle okay time
for
coffee a whole new cycle okay
time for
all right so I have one clip
since you
got the drunker thing I got to
play this
and this is this is woman she's
kind of
a substitute ER and she's on
CBS she's a
professional journalist she's
not a
spring chicken Meg Oliver and
she is on
the network and this is this I
don't
have the other clip but I've
caught her
doing this twice this is a
segment from
a from a package that she put
together
and I was just a short piece oh
sorry
wait and I'm just gonna say I
want you
to see if you can catch what
really
galls me about them about this
her
unusual journey started in 2013
Grassley
was an art major at the
University of
Montana when she visited the
zoological
museum on campus I mean
completely
overwhelmed with yes it would be
zoological she has done this
before does
no one have no one correcting
people I
don't know what if they know
that you
saw how you pronounce the word
or if
they CBS doesn't care I think
this is
shoddy at the network national
network
level that says zoology is is
unexcusable as inexcusable as
its
grounds for firing push her
over to
MSNBC where she can get away
with that
stuff yeah that that by the way
is an
actual service this show could
provide
if anyone needs a service that
will
correct stupid things you're on
air
people say where your guys
yeah well it's a consulting
company we
have that people should be
taking
advantage of they don't as
usual usual
I you know I came across a
conspiracy
theory that I like very much
that I want
yeah in fact I'll just do I'll
just do a
little theremin it hurts so
much now
we've discussed the Communist
Manifesto
before on the show we've
discussed that
Karl Marx really was more of a
blogger
and much less of the guy who
wrote it it
was of course Friedrich Engels
who wrote
the communist Mills is the bad
actor
amongst the two guy Marx was
pretty much
a journalist a columnist
he never even lived in Russia
he lived
in England he it lived in
England Engels
was the real bad actor and
instead of
being called Marxism this
should all be
called Engel ISM yeah I think
it was
like a gadfly this Marx guy he
was kind
of around social circles and
they did
some poetry and yeah I think we
correctly concluded years ago
he was a
blogger so here's the
conspiracy theory
and I like it
Fredrik Friedrich Engels his
dad worked
for the Rothschild bank
one of the you know the in the
must have
been London I think at the time
where
that that division of the
Rothschild
Bank was and the Communist
Manifesto was
written under the auspices of
his dad
and then of course you know but
they
needed to the reason why they
really
wanted to separate the angles
name from
it is because of the bank so
they they
put it under Karl Marx's name
now here's
where the conspiracy gets
interesting
there is the ten planks of the
Communist
Manifesto is the ten planks of
the Communist
and the way the conspiracy
reads is this
is what Marx wrote for the for
communism
it sounds like an awful lot of
it is
already in place in the United
States
now what I don't know is if
these ten
planks of the Communist
Manifesto are
indeed ten planks to the
Communist
Manifesto I have not read the
cliff
notes the Communist Manifesto
and I feel
bad about that have you read
this online
I sure I have not read it in its
entirety sure I have not read
it in its
have you read it years ago yeah
like
years ago okay so these are the
ten
planks and you tell me if you
think
that's gonna pull it up well
you're
gonna get the same stuff I got
if you
look for ten planks Communist
Manifesto
uh-huh and then I'll look up
ten planks
I'm not quite sure where this
ten planks
comes but while you're doing
that plank
one abolition of private
property in
land and application of all
rents of
land to public purpose
sounds pretty communist to me
of course
that has not happened in the
United
States but through taxation
your land
can be taken away from you and
I would
argue that property tax is a
form of
rent that goes to the public
purpose
second plank a heavy
progressive or
graduated income tax will we
have that
in fact I think we're most
people are
proud to say we have a
progressive tax
third plank abolition of all
rights of
inheritance it's not been
abolished but
we do have a quite a hefty tax
it's
known as the death tax
you know plank for confiscation
of the
property of all emigrant
emigrants and
rebels and that's forfeiture
which
happens all the time if you do
something
bad then they can take all your
stuff
away then they can take all
your stuff
that's centralization of
credits in the
hands of the state by means of a
National Bank with state
capital and an
exclusive monopoly that would
be the
Federal Reserve that would also
indicate
the student loan situation oh
yes and
that is centralized six
centralization
of the means of communication
and
transportation in the hands of
the state
now we do have regulations we
are the
the FCC we the federal we have
the
Interstate Commerce Commission
but
there's a number of but we
still got
bloggers well yeah well this is
I'm
gonna get to this point just
the seventh
the seventh plank extension of
factories
and instruments of production
owned by
the state the bringing into
cultivation
of waste lands and the
improvement of
the soil generally in
accordance with a
common plan so we don't have
this
exactly but what we do have is
a lot of
government involvement in our in
agriculture we just recently
saw twelve
billion dollars in subsidies go
to the
farming sector or at least
promised to
the farming sector for to
compensate for
tariffs farming sector for to
compensate for
viii planck equal obligation of
all work
this is a Cassio's vibe the
equal
obligation of all to work
establishment
of industrial armies especially
for
agriculture and I think that
that's
where socialism comes into play
no
that's where we got that dead
guaranteed
jobs yes yes long discussion of
best
that's what I'm saying so
that's what
Ocasio is about she's a big fan
of that
so that people don't fully
understand I
should actually write it up
because it
probably needs to be written up
and
because it's an actual system
that falls
into this it's an economic
system it
falls into this and when I read
these
planks I'll just do the last two
combination of agriculture with
manufacturing industries gradual
abolition of the distinction
between
town and country by a more
equitable
distribution of the population
over the
country this is Larry Lessig
yes and the
planning reorganization Act of
1949
electoral college and then ten
free
education for all children in
government
schools does that sound like
Ocasio
abolition of children's factory
labor in
its present form and
combination of
Education with industrial
production to
me when you say socialism or
Democratic
Socialist you're just here to
finish the
job it seems like we're already
there
we have all this too sneaky
well you have to remember that
the
people associate communism with
the with
the Soviet Union and its
structure and
much of the Communist Manifesto
was not
really it would what was
implemented in
Russia was a Stalinist system
which was
really a modified version of
the Senate
also the Communist Manifesto
applies to
China and their version is of
is a
Chinese hybrid between
capitalism and
communism his system is
completely
different again right so the
basic
system which is the one we
should all go
out and read the Communist
Manifesto I
think now and I'll do that is
probably
just a kind of a suggestion box
well
here's what I'll pause it pause
it
yep because this is this is
this okay
dude because this is this is
this okay
while positing has nothing to
do with
dude it does all posit this
posit me
this posit and this closes out
the
conspiracy posit and this
closes out the
this Communist Manifesto if
followed
which we seem to have followed
quite
well when other countries have
followed
suit it really is about one
thing it
gives complete control over the
country
and the population through
taxation and
through money creation by the
central
bank which in our case is the
Federal
Reserve they don't have to own
it to
control it completely control
the masses
through this manifesto and
through
taxation and money creation go
Bitcoin
now on that note I'm going to
change the
tub topic yep
you use the word posit so I'm
watching
the worst movie ever made in
the history
of I say least Disney may be
true every
movie come by ever I'm sure I
loved it
which one which one was it
Avengers
infinity Wars what is that whoa
what is
this I might have seen this on
the
airplane which one is this this
is the
movie where all the about half
of the
characters in the Marvel
Universe are
killed at the end and that's
the way the
movie ends by some ogre some
guys just
big ogre and he uses the word
when they
were asking why are you trying
to kill
everybody he says well I've
done the
calculus no wrote that speech
writer for
once so this guy who's just
some big
bruiser he gets this is
actually more of
a symbolic movie about the New
World
Order and the global governance
idea and
who wins
well the global governance guy
the big
ogre wins and he gets to go
relax
because he says once you get
chills to
half half of everybody in the
universe
gets killed along with all the
superheroes unfortunately a lot
of
superheroes get killed movies
including
spy oh I was cheering because
I'm taking
all great no more spider-man
movies oh
great don't worry because all
these guys
are dying they didn't kill Iron
Man so
we had to watch a couple of
these guys
they're gonna come back they
know they
killed the entire what's the
group there
what's that funny comedy with a
little
with the little raccoon the
guardians of
the galaxy everybody
I think the raccoon is still
alive but
they killed all of them they're
all dead
and for good and then the way
Marvel
works it's that that I hate to
talk
comic book talk but the way
Marvel works
whatever happens happens for
everything
all the franchises so so they
have to
obviously come with some bogus
way of
bringing him back but they just
closed
the franchise I think this is
fantastic
the movies ever since Deadpool
and
Deadpool - who needs to see
another
superhero movie that's that's
the
franchise right there Deadpool
2 is
funny I agree I thought was very
enjoyable movie worth watching
it's just gags and jokes but
this movie
was the worst movie imaginable I
recommend it if you really feel
like
tormenting someone haha but
according to
people like that they know
about people
want you to see in the theaters
they say
that people were crying in the
theaters
cuz their favorite characters
were
killed oh man well how old were
these
people oh man well how old were
these
40 whoa I don't know I mean you
may have
been young they may have been
old but
just a lot of people that are
into this
anyway there's a horrible film
very very
poorly it's no story whatsoever
it does
have some symbolism I think
good work at
alienating a large portion of
the
audience film girl thanks
people love
that so we've had the virtue
signaling
about straws we you probably
heard the
virtue signaling about the
balloons
balloons are a problem because
a balloon
releases so if you have a
helium balloon
it should be forbidden because
the
helium balloon goes up it pops
it comes
back down fish eat it and die
and other
rodents eat it and die they all
die from
the blue rodents he didn't die
so what
it's inhumane okay we have yet
another
virtue signaler on the horizon
I don't
know if this is happening under
pressure
I can certainly see the waste
let's see
if this can make it maybe it
will stop
global warming the ketchup
packets days
could be numbered as Heinz
plans to
overhaul its global packaging
designs to
find greener alternatives the
Chicago
based food giant announced on
Tuesday
that it will make 100 percent
of its
packaging globally recyclable
reusable
or compostable by 2025 the
company joins
rivals like Unilever and Nestle
that
have set explicit deadlines to
make
their products environmentally
friendly
Pines isn't sure yet how it
will address
non recyclable packaging like
the
ketchup packets
the company says new packaging
will have
to balance sustainability with
requirements for food safety
shelf-life
and costs here's a thought do
you think
it's maybe possible that John
Kerry
running for Senate I believe is
he
running for Senate
I know he's running for
anything yeah I
think he's running for Senate
recognized
he's not gonna get leverage
from this no
no how about he got pressure
just wondering from well maybe
I think
this is bullcrap I think it's
just
virtue signaling of the worst
sort which
is like which consists of we're
gonna do
it in 2012 I'm sorry he's
running for
governor place ready for
governor think
he's running for governor isn't
he
build um on control room help
me out
here running for you talking
about
virtuous England crackpots
there was a
documentary on PBS about this
woman who
spent all her life getting
plastic water
bottles banned from Concord
Massachusetts hmm
and she finally a man managed
to get it
done and they got banned and
it's all
it's gonna be a horrible domino
effect
and I don't know that anybody
else did
anything but she was an old and
of an
old biddy who went from person
to person
to person and talking about you
know
saving the planet or whatever
you have
to listen to this tip and tell
me if you
find anything peculiar about it
I'm
doing is I have a petition
article
number 32 on the town warrant
and that
is to ban the sale of drinking
water in
plastic bottles in the town of
Concord I
don't think we have that kind
of problem
I think those have been
overblown over
the last several years
why put more burdens on people
well
because only 20 percent of the
plastic
water bottles are recycled how
do we
know that though what our
statistics for
that but you can find out a lot
about
all these issues if you go to
corporate
accountability International in
Boston
they have tobacco things like
budget
what did you do why did you
kill that
folk why did you kill that bug
the guys
talking to her and he sees this
a potato
bug or something walking across
with a
meter and he steps on it and
she gets
freaked out she looks and sees
him doing
that and gets right off the
topic
immediately this is so easily
distracted
and it was concerned about why
he
stepped on a bug this is like
to me is
like wow
also this what was that the
office for
corporate responsibility
sounded like a
nice outfit to me yeah let's
play this
clip so we get it otherwise
it's the
kool Moe clip where he says
America's
not never been that great and
look the
simple this comes down to this
we're not
gonna make America great again
it was
never that great we have not
reached
greatness we will reach
greatness when
every American is fully engaged
guys on
xanax he sounds wrong with him
I'm
calling xanax it sounds a bit
like it
yeah yeah you know I understand
what he
was trying to do sure do but he
flubbed
it it was just stupid he did the
delivery was wrong the timing
was wrong
and you probably should have
just stayed
away you know it's like you're
gonna try
and make a joke about make
America great
again you gotta have a good joke
I don't know what he could have
done the
structure that better but it
was really
poorly executed now it's now
it's a meme
alright time for one more and
we should
really get out of here
well I got a one I've been
trying to get
off the list it's been here for
a while
this is a classic when you have
you have
shields and Brooks I think
they're
moving shields off of the off
of the job
on PBS newshour because he's
he's just
he just rants and raves he
sounds like
an idiot to be honest about it
but let's
listen to his commentary on
Putin and
how it relates to Trump what a
mere 2%
very favorable among American
voters
three percent favorable 65
percent
unfavorable 46% very
unfavorable so by a
margin of twenty three to one
his very
unfavorable to his very
favorables and
why is Donald Trump hanging
around with
them I gave it I've been
suspicious all
the way through he must have
something
there's some reason Donald
Trump is not
a man given to great loyalty to
individuals you know his
hero-worship is
finite they're honest if it
does raise
serious questions about what's
going on
here is he still waiting for
the PP tape
is he a little behind on the is
he not
been brought up to speed I have
no idea
what he's talking about you're
right the
guy's all he can consider him
gone he's
on that he's now he's just not
only bet
on the wrong horse he's riding
into the
sunset with it yeah even Brooks
has
backed off a little bit
all right everybody that's your
deconstruction for today almost
three
hours of it I think that should
hold you
over for a couple of days when
we return
