around here and we're post
effort I'm
John see if we're not
post-racial or
post Zephir we're always
posting man we
just used to be simple you
could just be
postmodern and that was it even
that was
kind of it was kind of iffy man
we did
have dueling funerals I was
laughing my
butt off
yeah to your favorite people no
it was
it was from a television
production
standpoint Oh God from the
network via
the the network producer
running the
show here's pretty much how it
went wow
this is great so many
celebrities at the
Aretha Franklin funeral oh this
is
fantastic Franklin funeral oh
this is
oh look there's oh there's Bill
yes
that's great and whoa wait a
minute huh
but McCain he's coming off the
plane
wait a minute but there's
celebrities
over here but McCain we made
him into
the heroes let's switch back
okay let's
do a box in the corner all
right and he
slipped back over there because
a
celebrity coming back to McCain
and then
they're waiting for the
McCain's coffin
to come out of the plane and
there was
some malfunction and the the
lift
elevator didn't work and so now
we have
no Aretha Franklin celebrities
and we're
looking at like a skybox up
against the
plane on a scissor lift for ten
minutes
if you want to cut away is like
the
caskets coming down we can't
cut away
all right did and no commercial
breaks
whatsoever it was beautiful
it was just it they they
couldn't yeah
it wasn't even the funeral was
just the
you know just hanging out for a
little
bit we're looking at the coffin
it was a whole day before the
before
anyone was gonna say anything
and they
had hyped him up so much as one
of the
only 31 Americans to ever ever
ever get
this kind of treatment that
they could
not go back to the true
moneymaker which
was obviously a wreath is
funeral yeah
and again the ariana grande
breast rub I
have some clips I got some
clips for you
yeah good yeah you don't well
let's
start with a little recap then
as Martha
McCallum really get to play
something
stupid from Fox because either
so stupid
or maybe it's true but Martha
had a
gaggle of women and they were
and they
were on a remote shoot I'm like
I know
if they were in Detroit but
they were
outside and as a part of her
Cannell
sitting out there in the
elements we had
Marie harf who was you know
she's she's
a she's now Fox commentator
remember
Marie yeah I remember when they
brought
her over and I've never seen
her on Fox
she's been on a couple of times
well the
reason you probably see is
because
neither you or I ever watched
Sean
Hannity show I'm sure minute I
see that
head come on I'm like now he
doesn't
have the giant head box like on
CNN but
anyway so they they discussed
in an odd
way very anti hashtag me too
because
that did come up as well but
there was
also a guest that was kind of
difficult
for the media the guests
ranging from
world leaders to musical
legends and one
especially controversial figure
who was
seated in the front row
many people kind of wondering
what the
unapologetic anti-semite Louis
Farrakhan
was doing up there I am joined
by Kelly
grace Torrance Marie harf and
Kylie
Patterson it was really such a
that
moving it was really such a that
Hudson was amazing and Gladys
Knight was
amazing but I did keep the
comment on it
pretty much the way they do
about the
Oscars the Grammys or any other
award
show just all the performances
were
amazing just the performances
were
amazing by louis farrakhan who
was in
every single shot i'm thinking
what is
what was he doing there who won
no wants
to start there well you know
since when
you saw him because you know I
looked at
some of the coverage of this
and a lot
of outlets variety ABC MSNBC had
pictures published on the
website
cutting him off so they sewed
the front
row with President Clinton
that's your
your press freedom right there
everybody
we can't explain it we don't
know what's
going on just come on Jackson al
Sharpton and they cut Farrakhan
off and
I you know I thought that was
very
telling that they did that
clearly they
thought wow why is this guy
there to
there they had the same
questions we all
know what why why was he he's
one of a
guest of honor it's right near
Bill
Clinton is something that's
supposed to
be about Aretha Franklin b-team
I
thought in many ways about some
of these
gentlemen who were right behind
we
forget that she was really at
the head
of the liberation movement for
years I
mean she respecting the
liberation but
does she mean the the women's
liberation
movement good news to me well
she was
just about to explain that
that's what
the song was about you forget
that she
was really at the head of the
liberation
movement for years I mean she
respect
natural woman that was a part
of the
movement he was there because
he's a
feminist part of the women's
liberation
movement and or does she mean
the
[Music] and or does she mean the
history this is her funeral I
mean it's
her choice so she wants their
who she
wants no no she didn't leave a
will but
she knew exactly what she
wanted there
al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson
and Louis
Farrakhan to be up there I
think she
wanted them at her funeral yes
there was
also this moment with Ariana
Grande
she's dancing and then you know
these
guys are like staring at her
from the
back now
you know they're gonna make
light of
this situation and I had a
conversation
with the keeper about it cuz I
I saw
like no you just just holding
on to her
but I guess it was too long or
if you
grab you know hold me here and
you'll
know that you're touching my
breasts I'm
like maybe I don't know but
regardless
it grabbed his hand and Pyke it
up I
don't think so know why but only
speaking when you grab a woman
just up
you know is you just kind of
snuggle
with her on the stage for some
unknown
reason but if you feel like
you're gonna
do that usually grab by the
waist don't
you to grab the waist because
this with
the easiest but I don't know if
he mean
it's hard to tell short she's
four foot
nine so that he puts his arm
around her
you know been and and grabbed
an out I
didn't I couldn't find the clip
anymore
of course but grab the shoulder
that's a
very comfortable thing to do
that'sthat's that would have
been more
appropriate I think but yeah the
shoulder yeah but you know he
did some
where apologize by say if I if
I crossed
some some some border there or
something
I guess he did when I searched
for
caught we're calling her a Taco
Bell
special here we go he's dancing
and then
you know these guys are like
Syrian her
from the back and of course
that was all
over ladies guys
see now it's funny you know now
when you
have Bill Clinton who actually
you know
assaulted some women I think is
isn't
that historical record at this
point or
raped a couple why I don't want
to go
that far but now they're just
laughing
at the guy you know to me he
just looked
like regular old bill or goofy
you know
just a mess
because that's what he's looked
like
ever since he ran for president
again he
just doesn't look very healthy
you
sitting there but they're not
that
laughing about it I don't
understand
that you're confusing this
white man if
I were ariana grande I would
have worn
something longer and now it's
the
woman's fault because she
should have
worn something more I don't
understand
it's like a bad version of
American Idol
that is not appropriate to wear
to a
funeral even a wreath of
Franklin's we
know she could have gotten
something a
little longer with some sequins
like I
just longer with some sequins
like I
and that's Marie harf former
spokes hole
for the State Department
I should have sequins a little
bit
longer slut-shaming her I'm so
confused
she was wearing black it was
fine
great it's not her fault that
those guys
were leering at her they were
all
leering it's just an awkward
the Lance
Bass price there's a lot of
million but
priceless there's a lot of
memes online
right now about Bill Clinton
and Jesse
Jackson talking and what they
were
possibly saying in that moment
we're
watching it was a great
performance
we're beautiful but that was
like a
comedy of errors what it's like
a
henhouse these women
our ESP ICT then we had some of
the
speeches themselves now missing
from the
Aretha Franklin funeral because
of
course he was in Washington DC
preparing
well let's stop before he go
there let's
get back to their original
moaning and
groaning which was Farrakhan
why was he
there which was Farrakhan why
was he
did anybody in the media tell
from the
answer right now
no not a single one no and
simply ask
him say why are you here
now you good friends of Aretha
with a
little interview a little one
you know
he's a media whore he doesn't
mind
talking to the media I did not
see a
single interview and he quotes
anything
they're just all a lot of
speculation
nobody bothered to ask him I
think it
would be a great question hmm
maybe not
a great question but it would
very good
question will be the one of
interest yes
of course I wanted to know but
no and no
no one asked it was just there
was just
problematic so cut them off
don't ask
questions just cut them off
series your
press freedom that's what you
do with
your press freedom you have the
freedom
to decide not just well
somebody out of
the Stalin used to do oh no so
President
Obama was not there if I am not
mistaken
didn't Aretha Franklin sing at
his
inauguration Aretha Franklin
sing at his
believe maybe yeah it's
possible let me
just double-check that it has
to be the
2008 inauguration the first one
yeah
it's possible I I'm pretty sure
let me
see yes Aretha Franklin
performed
but now which was that the was
that the
2008 I think it is yeah that
was his
that was his yes as she
performed right
after his inauguration at the
on the
mall his inauguration at the on
the
she did my country tis of thee
so anyway
for what was an Obama there
well for him
not to show up because he had
to make a
choice with the dueling
funerals now but
he had to be in in Washington
he had to
be a part of you know the the
lead in
and of course he was going to
be one of
the featured speakers as John
McCain had
requested and I it's hard for
me to
believe that the ritha had said
I want
Farrakhan there I want Al there
I want I
can answer the question okay
yeah that's
why it was seedy where he was
sitting
Farrakhan a Black Muslim was
right that
would have been Obama's spot on
the
stage too yeah and I'm sure
Aretha would have wanted the
president
the first African American
president to
attend a call-up Farrakhan hey
can you
fill it for me buddy bro
Brooklyn for me
yeah explains that we've I
think you
nailed it done this is all
right well we
can just fit a thirteen minutes
of show
goodnight everybody
so Obama didn't show up he sent
a note
hey Dave you send a note
yeah you sent a video note no
no not eat
not even an iPhone thing the
Obama is so
political that's why he knows
McCain's
record he knows again hated him
yeah
yeah well we'll get to that in
a minute
but Michael Eric Dyson
he had the speech of all dueling
funerals better than Obama's at
met
McCain's the ceremony because
he not
only but slammed President
Obama he
added at least eighteen new
terms to
Trump rotation so do you have
your
number two pencil at the ready
let me trying to good is a red
pencil
you will need it here we go in
in that
belly of blackness in Detroit
without
apology or excuse that embrace
of her
blackness led her to be
political we got
all kind of music now that
ain't got
nothing to do with nothing
except cars
and money and glory
I love ain't got nothing to do
with
nothing that cars money and
glory a man
at that but she was about
getting Angela
Davis out of jail she was about
working
with Martin Luther King jr. and
Jesse
Jackson and Al Sharpton she was
about
transforming the existence of
black
America preach not Negroes
scared to say
day black scared to show up at
a to
black place that's why some
black folk
ain't here today they send in
letters
they don't want to get up
hitting this
blackness yes and the crowd
goes wild
they don't want to feel the
nasty power
of this blackness we are black
in that's
right we don't care take your
shoes off
dip it in the water just
baptized hello
and not a single
news outlet that I saw report
on this as
a massive slam towards Obama
the enemy not just I mean about
his
blackness even
I I think it's very significant
and
extremely newsworthy but who am
i
doesn't matter because now we
get into
the good stuff yes yeah no I'm
just
saying you're not an editor no
of course
not as I'm a podcaster I look
and then
Dan there at this orange
apparition Wow
captain the right to say she
worked for
him the right to say she worked
for
you lugubrious leash you doping
doppelganger of deceit and
deviance you
lethal liar you dim-witted
dictator you
foolish fascist did you get it
did you
write them all down right yeah
down
there all our adjectives but
there's
nothing new in the rotation but
it's
alliteration to the max I'd
really like
is fine gang and I say work for
you
she worked above you she work
beyond you
get so preposition right then
he got the
nerve to say he gon grab it I
think he's
talking about grabber by the
pussy I
think and I'm not it was very
much what
he's saying but he's he's
talking about
I don't think he's referring to
her
eating just oh I know I know
but it was still cuz he'll yes
you're
right but he is he is making
reference
to grabbing it to grabbing the
pussy
yeah now it's a whole thing
first
bizarre he got the nerve to say
he gon
grab it
that ain't would have reached
the
Franklin said i'ma give you
something
you can feel like your brothers
in the
street say tap lightly like a
woodpecker
with a headache I just left
that in
because I liked it I mean
that's a
funeral I want that kind of
funeral I
want something I want Reverend
Manning
to go up there and talk shit
about other
people who were not there who
snubbed me
and then just say something
nasty about
whoever's president I don't
care who it
is president I don't care who it
that's a funeral man that's
great
very nice so on
oh this is this is the only
piece she
needed it goes on for 18
minutes but
this was this was what you
really wanted
to hear now the what's-his-name
was his
approach sure was yeah yeah um
you know
Michael Eric Dyson oh you know
this guy
yeah you and you see him a guy
that guy
bad guy so the the press was
having kind
of this McCain gasm the wall
you know
while because he got flown in
from
Arizona on Air Force two and
you know
it's just this this the the
whole thing
they'd built him up to such a
degree and
he got this and I don't even
know how
that works but I mean how do
you get
this type of ceremony it's just
everyone
says shoot it's gonna be one of
those
let's do it or is that really
planned I
mean does anyone have to sign
off on
this stuff who are we no Trump
didn't
know we wouldn't think so so it
with the
military I have no idea or the
McCain
family I have no idea what Mimi
thinks
this is was all done as a
promotion for
one of the McCain girls or his
wife to
run for got for a senator I'm
sure that
she's going to she's at least
going to
step in until the midterms
wouldn't she
isn't that quite normal you
know step in
has to be assigned by the
governor yeah
the governor would say step in
the
governor would have to assign
her mm-hmm
the interim position he's not
gonna do
it in guy's wife I mean what
what kind
of a what kind of a screwball
monarchy
are we living under no
qualifications
we'll see we'll see what I
really became
he had all the qualifications
but
obviously this the whole thing
although
to me it was obvious
all the bombast was purely
political
just to be able to say oh yeah
Trump
this guy is a hero that's how I
felt I
agree with you this all is all
about
Trump's snide remark that as
far as he's
concerned heroes don't get
captured and
where were all of the military
people
lauding john mccain i didn't
see one how
many how many military people
went up
there and spoke madison and he
had to go
be a part of it
I know that all the military
guys I know
I wouldn't be part of that
so yeah it was pretty much as a
Trump
slam it was yes he was very
much a Trump
slam and I think John McCain
would have
loved that I think the whole
thing so
I'm torn but I'm kind of happy
it's like
this is what you wanted that's
what he
got is what you wanted that's
what he
now again the press was just
sauce is so
great and John but the press is
all in
so I what is wrong with these
people so
Alison cammarata has an
interview with
John Sununu
and he used to be the was he the
Attorney General I think for
under Bush
I don't know my beliefs I don't
remember
he worked for Reagan a lot for
a long
time I know that so so now I'm
talking
about you know just talking
about McCain
and what's going on and and all
of a
sudden it turns very very very
sour
here's the setup to this
interview
joining us now to talk about
the legacy
of John McCain is former New
Hampshire
governor John Sununu he was
chief of
staff to President George HW
morning
governor HD morning Alison how
are you
I'm well oh my gosh just
remembering how
much oh my gosh
time John McCain invested in New
Hampshire and how much he loved
politics
like how she's articulating the
love for
John McCain Aaron then mixing
it up and
the stump speeches you know
jeff jacoby
and the Boston Globe this
morning calls
him New Hampshire's third
senator that's
very accurate you know if you're
involved in politics at all in
New
Hampshire you certainly do get
to know
at least on some level those
who are
running for president and and
John
McCain grew to embrace the
style of
campaigning that works well in
New
Hampshire okay so far so good
and this
is you know the guys he's he's
chill
he's been asked to come on talk
about
John McCain he's perfectly
happy to talk
about John McCain so governor
what do
you think about President Trump
rejecting the practice of
putting out an
official White House statement
about
john mccain's service and
sacrifice look
that was printed in the
Washington Post
and I have to be honest with
you I don't
give much credence to whatever
we also
have that reporting yeah well
same thing
applies house governor you come
on CNN
this is governor governor I'm
gonna talk
to you in my stern voice now
governor
even though we invited you on
governor
governor yeah well same thing
applies
Ellis governor you come on CNN
and we
appreciate you coming on CNN
and we
appreciate your take on it but
I don't
appreciate you denigrating our
reporting
I think that you know we have
excellent
reporters here but are you
saying that
you don't want to believe that
you don't
want to believe that President
Trump
would do that about I'm saying
that I
don't want to comment on a
report that I
haven't satisfied myself is
correct and
if that report were true I'm
not going
to answer the - it's not
hypothetical
this is our reporting it's not
hypothetical this is our
reporting we
have excellent sources you come
on CNN
and you dare question our
sources the
sources who actually say that
they were
lying those sources the
backdrop of the
lanny davis source this is
pretty funny
not gonna answer the - it's not
hypothetical this is our
reporting we
have rock-solid sources talk
about John
McCain I'm here to talk about
John
McCain as I remember him I'm
not here to
talk about the press's handling
of a
difference between the White
House and
the press corps at this time
it's not
the presses handling its
president
Trump's handling of John
McCain's death
look John McCain was a great
American
who deserves to be recognized
as a great
American he is being recognized
by his
colleagues and a friends that
are his
friends around Melania Trump has
certainly put out an
exceptionally
strong statement outlining the
appreciation for his service
the White
House has recognized the
Saro of the family and and I
think
Americans ought to be looking
at the
positive side not trying to
create a
division amongst people who are
in in
joint sorrow mourning a great
American
this is just should have seen
her face
she just couldn't believe what
she was
hearing that he would not
comment on
their obviously rock-solid
sources
rock-solid and to be clear the
press
didn't create whatever division
exists
president Trump feels that
allowed him
to spike the statement that
General John
Kelly wanted him to put out
about John
McCain's sacrifice the press
house
everybody everybody everybody
reflects
their concerns in ways that are
consistent with whatever they
feel I've
expressed my concern I've the
loss of
John McCain who I think was a
great
American a great American hero
in the
military a great American hero
in the
political process and frankly a
great
American hero on a personal
level the
people that knew him well
you're not
alone governor so many people
feel that
way many people what's her name
cam
Allison camera rota when you
see her you
you recognize her I mean she
just seems
like a stiff possible okay and
that's
why it is notable that the
president
doesn't well I'm here to talk
about my
friend John McCain you appear
to be here
to talk about something that
you think
you can exploit and I find that
rather
unpleasant governor governor
again again
we don't have to try to exploit
something this is a fact this
is a
truism it's a truism when did
when did
this word really get this kind
of play
this truism you could say fact
I got a
fact is okay or it's the truth
but what
is this truism it's a truism
did you
take that cookie Tommy no mommy
and
that's a truism governor again
we don't
have to try to explain
something this is
a to try to explain something
this is
fact this is a truism well why
are you
dwell on it pretty much comment
I have
given you my comments on it and
I'm here
to talk about John McCain there
and I
just reject your premise if
this is
something the press has created
it has
been customary probably since
George
Washington on ER make you
should make
your enquiries directly to the
White
House if you want a direct
answer
governor John Sununu we
appreciate you
coming on and giving us your
thoughts
about what John McCain meant to
you and
to New Hampshire thank you very
much the
great loss for the country and
for the
world loss for the country and
for the
indeed that guy's never coming
on my
show again I'll never have that
guy on
yeah I don't know why it would
go on her
show she's not very pleasant
she's got
our stilted style that's just
unprofessional nasty admit ah
the worst
and then finally makes more
money than
we do combined oh yeah oh yeah
and then finally Lindsey Graham
did
everything wrong
just everything wrong the New
York Times
even wrote a piece let me see
if this is
must have been editorial let me
just
open this up for a second
was this an editorial no this
is by Dana
Millbank this an editorial no
this is by Dana
so it's an opinion yes rest in
peace
Lindsey Graham we lost to
Mavericks
within a week on Saturday we
lost the
legendary John McCain on
Tuesday we lost
his loyal sidekick Senator
Lindsey Oh
Grahame Oh Graham remains alive
and well
but after serving for two
decades is
Robin to McCain's Batman Graham
buried
whatever remained of his own
reputation
for a cano classroom even
before his
partner's funeral because he
had the
audacity to go tell people what
he
thought and what Trump said
about his
thoughts he's just he's not on
board
senator people who know I cover
you as a
journalist know I know you ask
me more
than anything else the following
question how can Lindsey Graham
be the
man and politician that John
McCain was
and strived to be even more so
and play
golf with Donald Trump be there
for
Donald Trump and frankly
sometimes carry
the water of Donald Trump carry
the
water of Donald Trump which of
course is
a truism and it's also carry
the water
for Donald Trump I think she
this is
Dana and by the way dana Bash
from CNN
the other woman and milieu is
creating a
certain style of voice yes oh
yes this
comes from carrying water for
Putin
which is a favorite of the
cable news
networks oh yes water for Putin
so now
it's water for Trump Trump you
miss
Hitler Stalin what's your
answer to that
question it's pretty simple if
you knew
anything about me I want to be
relevant
I want to make sure that this
President
Donald Trump who I didn't vote
for ran
against is successful we went to
president lech homicide in
Chicago John
and I I don't know we voted for
but he's
Republican he's possible for the
Republican candidate did he
vote for
Hillary candidate did he vote
for
this is a question I had asked
immediately who did you vote
for well if
he said he didn't vote for
Trump so he
told us something about his
voting so
let's get today to the bottom
of it well
this is also a part of what we
in
America certainly do whenever
someone is
saying something that could in
some way
the only people who don't do it
are us
in some way be misconstrued as
defending
Trump or even giving just a
small
inkling of an idea that maybe
youth you
sometimes consider what Trump
does in a
different light than just
Stalin Hitler
evil dictator then you have to
say
either look I didn't vote for
him but or
you or you can say look I
certainly
don't agree with everything he
says or
you can say look some of the
things he
says are just out just horrible
but you
got to do that because
otherwise you
can't deliver commentary in the
mainstream media you can just
can't so
this is an even Lindsey Graham
who I
think is brave here certainly
for him he
just can't he has to throw
something in
like I didn't vote for him
against is
successful which means you
traitor to
his party we went to
president-elect
Obama side in Chicago John and
I what
can we do to help you mr.
president I
regret the relationship between
the two
John is my dearest friend in
the world
and I'm gonna try to help
President
Trump and I will because I
think country
first means that and if he'll
listen
I'll talk to him I've enjoyed
my time
with him when he says something
bad
about John it pisses me off he
called
yesterday after my speech and he
couldn't have been nicer he
said that
was very sad I just wanna let
you know
that you did did right by a
friend I
said thank you mr. president
what he did just why the blue
because
you know to those who want me
to say the
only way you can honor John
McCain is to
fight Donald Trump and try to
kick him
out of office I don't agree I'm
going to
do what I think is best for the
country
using what John taught me about
the
country No there you go yeah
said to me
yeah well that's yes he's dead
to the
New York Times they literally
said rest
in peace Lindsey Graham I mean I
understand the metaphor and
it's damião
it's tongue-in-cheek but
you know really really really
really
really know really really
really really
nasty just nasty these guys are
off the
rails yeah so I've been having
these I
want to play a couple of clips
and I've
got something different some
conclusion
because I'd come to a new
reason that
these guys are out to get Trump
a new
reason well I mean it's not
it's the
it's probably the reason mm-hmm
but it's
not a reason we've ever
discussed okay
and and it just kind of just
fell on my
lap when I was listening to
kind of uh
Jim Jordan you know comes on
and he's
yakking away about one thing or
another
he's the senator no he's a
congressman
from Ohio it was gonna be a
senator or
he hopes to AH he's the big
Trump
supporter and he's uh he was
the guy
that got they said he knew
about abuse
and he should be in jail
what yeah isn't Jim Jordan
isn't the guy
that he apparently knew about
some abuse
at the athletic department at
the
college and you should have
known and he
should have said something oh
yes
exactly yeah me too
yeah gotcha cuz he's important
up in
comer yeah so you got a smear
and it
didn't stick the smear did not
stick not
at all so he's talking about
he's on one
of the committees that got to
do this
secret testimony of Bruce or
yes who was
a number four guy in the Justice
Department who was very still
there
passing he's still there oh
he's passing
on the the steel information
after the
FBI has finalized you working
for em in
yeah this little discussion I
think it's
kind of interesting but it
brings in an
interesting another interesting
I'm
using that work to often point
that I
need to bring up yeah so you
spoke to
Bruce or yesterday the
president said
this about him in a tweet how
the hell
is Bruce or still employed at
the
Justice Department disgraceful
and which
on Rachel Maddow last night was
very
concerned about the Department
of
Justice potentially losing
Bruce or and
you guys grilling him yesterday
behind
closed doors here's what she
said I
don't know exactly what these
targeted
attacks by the White House and
congressional Republicans will
ultimately do to the
capabilities of the
Justice Department and the FBI
when it
comes to fighting things like
Russian
intelligence operations in the
United
States and Russian organized
crime and
Russian money-laundering through
American real estate any
collusion
so Bruce or was key to all that
and
she's very worried that our
national
security will be in peril if
you guys
bully him and he ends up losing
a job
what we should be worried about
is Bruce
or senior official at the
Justice
Department's wife was working
for the
firm hired by the Clintons to
put
together the dossier and we
know the
dossier was the key to all of
this and
he Bruce or Peter struck told
us in the
hearing five weeks ago Martha
Bruce or
is the guy who funneled parts
of the
dossier to the FBI
his wife's working for the Oppo
research
firm fusion GPS who's been
hired by the
Clinton campaign and we know
the dossier
was taken to the court and I'll
tell you
what we we got confirmed
yesterday when
they went to the court the FBI
knew
three important things and they
didn't
disclose this to the court the
new the ORS involvement in
production of
the dossier they knew that that
Christopher still had this
extreme bias
against the president and they
knew who
paid for the dossier and they
didn't
disclose those key facts to the
court
when they went there to get the
warrant
to spy on Carter page in the
Trump came
well it is remarkable when
somebody
works at the Department of
Justice is
bringing information and I
heard you
know basically giving the
thumbdrive
handing over stuff straight
from fusion
gps over to over to the FBI and
saying
here's what we got and he also
admitted
to in this testimony yesterday
that he
felt that Steele was biased so
they all
know that on that side of the
equation
but but then when they apply
for the
FISA warrant they don't mention
that
they don't include that that
part of at
least you would say all but a
good
majority of what they're basing
the FISA
warrant on is not it hasn't been
disclosed that the person who
told them
is very biased okay nothing new
really
here well to me there was okay
what part
was new Russian
money-laundering I think
because I was thinking about
this who
was the big money laundering
guy whose
guys know the most about money
laundering that was in those in
the
business there I did but less
late years
of the Obama administration who
is maybe
associate with HBS see one of
the guys
call money Comey Comey Columbia
knew
about money laundering because
he worked
with HB SC which is the biggest
money
launderer in the world and if
you look
into it real estate money
laundering
which is what Rachel brought up
and I'm
not even sure what which is what
Russians like to do is bigger
than bank
money laundering huh and I
think this
has been a but it a which Anna
source
but I think call me knew that
the Trump
Organization because he was a
much he
knows it's a competition it was
our
competition oh my goodness yes
keep
going oh my goodness yes keep
who's the competition well his
Trump guy
this guy's kicking ass he's got
all
these deals he's got them all
over the
world if you're looking into it
you go
to Google and start looking up
money
how to do it in real estate
just a
number of good articles well
don't you
put the money into it into a
trust
there's no there's ten ways or
ten ways
to Sunday I'm just gonna read a
couple
of things so you get a clue
about this
real estate is an established
method of
money laundering
internationally in the
finance action task for it
Forrest Fatih
has recognized that the real
estate
sector is a high-risk sector
for money
laundering and it frequently
attracts
criminals who want to monitor
monitor or
launder money so why is it
easier to
launder money through real
estate then
banks why why is it well here
we go it's
simpler to do real estate than
other
avenues because of the related
governance in the United States
for
example real estate brokers and
agents
are exempted from from
performing due
diligence over the buyer ah
Australia
there's no reporting and
requirements
over real estate brokers and
lawyers and
apparently China does all its
money
laundering through Australia
United
Kingdom any foreign company can
buy
property you care about having
an
in-country presence it goes on
about and
there's no there's no there's no
reporting so the global you
know that
just like if I could just say
that I
remember is true is because
when we were
living in in the UK at some
point we
were looking to buy a home and
not being
a resident you know I basically
just had
a green card but not not being
a full-on
resident it wasn't possible it
was the
whole bunch of problems it had
to be
could be an offshore company
there's
yeah I I okay I recognized some
of this
he goes on this report says
that the
global illicit finance flows
report
estimates that China Russia
China Russia
and India are the top three
countries
receiving ill-gotten money
moving out of
the United States they don't
talk about
moving into the United States
but a lot
of the money laundering is
going in the
other direction is it's a
profitable
business we have a lot of drug
dealing
in this country and if you
pointed out
before the banks benefited the
most but
maybe and certainly the HSBC
HSBC
literally benefited from drug
money
there are billions and billions
of
dollars of illicit drug money
that needs
to be laundered in this country
probably
more than any other country
although
apparently the Chinese sources
so how does it work someone
shows up and
says Trump I want to buy an
apartment ok
that's 5 million bucks he gives
you five
million cash I would presume no
you have
now you have to get into the
details it
becomes there's about suic
there's they
have eight methodologies listed
one is
cash deposits the easiest most
common
way used by amateur money
launderers
you'd use cash to buy property
renovation and selling as
high-end
property Trump Tower in direct
payment
renovations nice
yeah renovations a good way a
direct
payment using a loan or a
mortgage under
valuating the under valuation of
property and it's like I said
person and
all he has to do was turn
around and and
sell it and the price doesn't
matter
right because he keeps he keeps
whatever
overseas ownership scams
successive son
so let's take a look at it from
this
perspective call me is the money
launderer or was related and
he's not a
one personally but he worked at
a bank
that is notoriously one of the
biggest
and weren't that weren't the
Clintons
also involved in HSBC and
Samaritans
know about this too
yeah I think all these guys do
there's a
corrupt operation running this
country
there they see the Trump
Organization I
don't know if they have any
evidence or
proof or anything in between
HSI told us
I'm doing research in real time
with
HSBC doing research in real
time with
donated 881 million dollars to
the
Clinton Foundation why Hillary
would
shut up when they got elected
the
terrible foundation this is
from The
Guardian run by Hillary Clinton
her
families received as much as 81
million
from wealthy international
donors who
were clients of HSBC's
controversial
Swiss bank well I mean they eat
the the
easy way is you send 81 million
to the
Clinton Foundation no one looks
at their
books and you poop it out
somewhere else
and it's like 75 million here's
your
money you go get it in Africa
from the
vaccinations people there's a
lot of
ways I don't know how to do
that I don't
know the intricacies I know we
better
learn because the curry dvorak
money
laundering real estate is
already LLC
baby so now we're taking a look
at so
this is why they went they
locked up
manna for figuring that he must
know
something about the message
about some
of this even though he's didn't
work for
Trump's organization but then
they
grabbed Trump's bookkeeper at
the of the
Trump Organization because they
wanted
to know how the money flows yes
yes this
is yes yes so they grabbed this
guy and
now they got him and they give
him
immunity because we know that
every this
is going on in every real
estate company
of course bright got it
so I'm thinking the following
based on
something I didn't have I heard
him talk
but I didn't clip it because I
didn't
think about it or heard this
Rachel
dropped this little gem about
how Bruce
or is the guy behind the
research into
money laundering and there and
so that's
why they want to keep him at
the Justice
Department and she's all upset
about is
Lucy somebody told her this
because she
doesn't say something like that
out of
the blue and she's in the
circles right
she's a high you know we get
our sources
for to tell us different things
she has
her sources and she's in
Washington DC
in New York where you get to
hear all
this wonderfully nicely'
sources yeah
yeah yes yeah and they say yeah
we're
out to get him because he's
your money
line alright so let's so let's
put them
you have more you want to put
this
together now let's be gone I
got a
couple more
well hold on hold on let me get
my need
more yarn to string between the
nails in
the wall
okay go so let's think that
let's think
here's the thing that John Dean
said I
wanted recall who's John Dean
John Dean
is the guy who turned turtle on
a Nixon
administration it was the first
guy they
bring Nixon and help bring
Nixon on he
was his lawyer
ah okay and so good Trump's
lawyer has
gone for thirty hours and he's
gonna
quit now and Trump says it's
fine he's
you know he doesn't have a
trump is
extremely confident yeah that
there's no
problem here and John Dean made
a very
interesting comment on a
interview on
one of these shows which i
think is
pertinent he said that the
trump's
lawyers they don't know anything
they have to kind of
deconstruct and
reconstruct and deconstruct and
reconstruct to try to figure
out what
the hell's going on because
Trump never
tells them anything right these
deals
are all done by Trump mm-hmm
because
he's smart enough to know that
if you're
gonna be involved in some sort
of some
sort of business like this just
to stay
in business and to keep your
organizational life you can't
beef it's
not a memo about it know who
knows
what's going on there's not
gonna be an
email or anything it's just
gonna be hey
I'll see you at the corner with
a brown
bag pretty much yeah
that's that and so Trump
they've got
nothing on him and he might by
the way
I've never done anything but it
just
there's just this this sense
that he's
his whole organization is that
somehow
I'm because it's so big and it's
international and it has all the
earmarks golf courses by the
way yes yes
you know what fits perfectly
into this
Bitcoin yeah golf courses are
used by
the Yakuza and as a as more
than a
musician more than money
laundering and
and there's some elements of
this with
Trump's operations the the
Yakuza would
have these own most of these
really
interesting golf courses the
best golf
courses in Japan they tried to
buy
Pebble Beach here in Monterey
it was
kind of pushed out because
people know
about this and they know what
they were
gonna do at Pebble Beach and
they
actually announced that we're
gonna do
this and what they do is they
have
extremely high annual fees you
have to
pay like ten thousand to one
hundred
thousand dollars a year to
belong to the
club mm-hmm and so typically
what
happens in Japan is that if you
like
walk down the street and step
on some
Yakuza's foot and offend them
you end up
having to pay tribute by taking
out a
membership if you will become
him it's
that that's the kind of
aversion of the
sharpton shakedown only you
kill this
variation so you have to be a
member now
so now it's ten to a hundred
thousand
dollars a year to become a
member and
this is your tribute to these
guys cuz
you you stepped on his foot
they were
gonna buy when they were gonna
buy palm
the pebble pebble be sorry
pebble beach
in Monterey they already talked
about
bringing the owner the club
feast ten
thousand to twenty thousand
dollars a
year and maybe go higher and
that was
kind of the tip office I mean
hey here's
what here's the scam they're
playing
here now Trump's these are very
expensive too but there's no
evidence
that it's because it's a
tribute to
trump it's like maybe access
who knows
we don't know but it all adds
to somebody who sees everything
in terms
of crime which would be people
like
Muller mm-hmm call me to a
lesser extent
mm-hmm and so they just think
he's a bad
guy and it's from the beginning
and the
bad guy part of it is this money
laundering and they're gonna
they're
gonna do everything they can to
just let
me let me play this back so
first we're
asserting that there's gambling
going on
there oh yeah I II in real
estate
there's a lot of money
laundering yeah
very shocked about this but
we've seen
New York in particular
another element Giuliani his
right-hand
man now
Giuliani the mayor of New York
don't kid
me about you know his girl that
his
powers got to be connected yeah
right
okay so this is much bigger
than we've
ever even really thought about
it but
what happened was call me and
the gang
know all about Trump as the
money
launderer and did anyone just
stay in
the middle of Manhattan look
around you
can see there's all these
apartments
luxury apartments starting at a
minimum
of two million dollars that are
empty so
yeah that makes a lot of sense
but calm
ease in the game and he's been
doing his
own running his own racket
maybe with
the Clintons maybe that that's
what he's
most worried about is the 81
million
let's just say that was somehow
some
laundering deal because the
Clintons
have been doing this and with
Russia for
sure with Russia we know
they're mid
this may be where Browder comes
in who
knows but Comey just sits and
goes we
can't have a horrible guy like
that so
maybe he was actually pure in
his
thinking because his I'm one of
these
guys I'm horrible person we
can't have
this horrible type of person be
President is that what you're
saying
that he was gonna have Hillary
well if we're gonna have to
choose
between horrible people and
this really
is the lesser of two evils
maybe he
wanted the lawyer who ya the
devil you
know versus the laundry you
don't but is
that really I mean is that
really the
reason or is it just more like
holy crap
we can't he or he'll uncover us
how
about that he knows the game
he'll find
it he'll uncover it and we'll
be done
with well you know Trump talked
about
this when he was running he
says you
know I know cuz I've been giving
campaign donations and he had
all these
implications that he knew how
the system
worked better than anybody
because he
was on top of the system and he
may have
been talking about more things
than one
and yeah perhaps and it is the
kind if
it is the competition is always
a good
thing to take it out
I'd give you clip of the day if
you had
a clip that was good
I'd like that so what do we
need to look
out for then you just keep this
in mind
it's like Oh me for sure still
all eyes
on Comey
yeah Kobe's off the rails well
that's
very interesting I need tonight
I
thought it was the different
different
yes and I need to revisit the
Comey
story with HSBC cuz that was
that was
quite the mess that he was in
that
somehow he mean no one got
indicted of
anything the bank dollar fines
which
nobody got indicted for
anything that
has to do with any banks yes
one of our
producers sent us a very long
interview
it's a podcast on the
interesting is
called intercepted the Jeremy
Scahill
and in interview with sy Hersh
and I was
trying to chop it up this
morning but it
was just too much and he would
go off on
these tangents I'm gonna I'm
gonna tire
just completely yeah i'ma try a
difficult to edit I'll try
again for
Thursday but he's making some
claims in
there that I think what about
well he
knows about the criminal
activity
surrounding 9/11 and he says
this I've
been on this story have not
stopped
it's an effing great story and
it was
people in reaching themselves
well well
let's take another look at what
the do
it the Trump in the real estate
and call
me and banking and knowing that
according to this report banks
and real
estates are the two major
competitors
when it comes to money
laundering
worldwide right and you have
the Obama
administration noting it would
even
during that after the collapse
of the
banking system pretty much in
2008
putting nobody in jail right
zero that
has to do with the bank let's
assume
that and he brought comeon from
a
corrupt bank and so let's say
that the
Obama administration was a
banking
oriented operation for the
bankers and
Trump is protecting the real
estate
people so right so we have real
estate
versus banks beautiful yeah
of course and and sometimes
those worlds
collide how about this so Trump
let's
just say Trump knows there's
money to be
made I got I got I got a guy
wants to
once the make some money a
different
color you know I'm saying like
bleach
dad bleach bid that money so he
goes to
a bank to borrow to buy
something to buy
something that he'll then sell
and grab
a profit off of reselling
whitewashing
the money pay back the loan
you'd also notice that there's
a lot of
the of the during this period
of they're
trying to keep Trump from
getting
elected they tried to make him
look like
he was bankrupt he's no good
yeah I'm
getting you see his taxes
that's that's
one of the things that's that
sy Hersh
who's a Peabody award-winning
journalist
he said Pulitzer I'm sorry
he said that Mueller saw
Trump's tax
returns in the very beginning
right away
nothing they're useless
that'd be yeah I just thought
the nurse
says it I believe it I believe
it too
and I would say that which is
why Muller
hasn't you know gone out of his
way to
make it potent you know we make
appointment has been shut down
yeah
by except for dummies because
it's
probably whoever to says that
you can
tell they're not part of this
system
they haven't been read in and
they're
not in the know and so it may be
actually a trap
so Trump brings out the disease
look
it's maybe one of these things
at the
last minute if he has to do it
he'll
bring him out there'll be
nothing there
because he's done such a good
job I mean
this is not a guy who is you
can tell
that he's pretty guileless I
mean he's
got he doesn't get shook easy
he gets
mad at certain people he
doesn't like
personal insults he does have
some you
know personality quirks mm-hmm
but by
far as I can tell he's doing
the job he
was hired to do this is one way
of doing
it hired to do this is one way
of doing
this is really fantastic but I
like the
idea of banks versus real
estate people
because there's two different
investment
groups and they don't mix very
well
banks will loan money to create
more oh
sorry didn't mean to do that
I know more how that happened
piece of
the action yeah but they don't
you know
they're not oh yeah yes so we
have CIA
dia and then we have banks
versus real
estate companies that makes
sense makes
sense companies that makes
sense makes
okay well that is very
different eyes
and his stuff fits in here all
of a
sudden I'm just stringing the
yarn again
between the nails on the board
with the
photos of everybody Magnitsky
act plays
into this the whole bunch of
things
yeah and well okay I think the
cipher
I'm gonna I'm definitely gonna
try and
chop that up I think that's sy
Hersh
interview will be key so now I
now I
need to look at pretty much
everything
with the whole different light
I like it
I like it give yourself a
little pat on
the shoulder I'm doing it that
now and
with that I'd like to thank you
for your
courage and say in the morning
to you
John see wanna see sense for
Comey is
the guy

slash
and a just remember one of our
pieces of
the formula right now is call
me money
laundering formula is this we
go out we
hit people in the mouth
[Music] people in the mouth
all right very short segment
well I was
going to was going to mention
that I was
actually mark hall who turned
me on to
this mark hall who turned me on
to
I didn't realize but we
actually have in
Austin a ductless mobility
policy
and ductless mobility in case
you didn't
know is the bikes and the
scooters
what about him well it turns
out we have
a policy they had a temporary
policy
which they closed the survey
hold on let
me see if I can find it now
that would
be rather disappointing they
said you
know when these companies just
dumped
all the stuff right in middle
of Austin
they came up with oh we have an
emergency administrative rule
governing
doclist mobility and this went
into
effect on May 7th and what's
interesting
is these are their policy and I
think
there's some problems with it
and they
had to serve even know what
you're
talking about
ok so all of a sudden like many
places
around America we've been
talking about
this for months
companies dropped scooters and
bicycles
in the city without any any
debt we just
dropped them in didn't talk to
the city
just drop them in and so city
councils
instead of saying hey get the
hell out
is everyone adopted this room
there were
asleep at the wheel
they created emergency
administrative
rules and now those are now
becoming the
full-on rules and they're
deficient well
you're telling me that they
actually
have a rule to approve the
drawing the
bikes all over the place
because there's
dhoklas yes well why well no
why because
they're idiots
ok instead of saying you know
hey what
we the major gripe I have I
didn't care
if these things are just dumped
everywhere get off the sidewalk
they're
actually encouraging this on the
sidewalk behavior ting around
and
high-speed scooter on the
sidewalk we
have we have bicycle paths we
are famous
for a bicycle paths that no one
used
until that - nobody uses them
now we
have all these bikes and
scooters but
they're saying people who plan
to use
ductless mobility services to
do so in a
safe and ethical manner please
follow
these guidelines to help keep
Austin
moving safely pedestrians first
yield to
people walking on sidewalks
what the
hell walking on sidewalks what
the
you have a motorized vehicle on
the
sidewalk I don't sound like an
old
fuddy-duddy yeah you sound like
one well
screw that part man we got to
get around
somehow you know and this is
better than
walking write and report if you
see a
unit toppled over or parked
improperly
help out by writing the unit and
reporting the issues do the
work for
them yeah and then report the
issue to
Austin 3 1 1
hello 3-1-1 I picked up a
bicycle yes
good word up good work citizen
pat
yourself on the shoulder
citizen good
work on the shoulder citizen
good
now here is something that is
definitely
not here just I want to stop
you first
and mention what San Francisco
has done
San Francisco poop on them and
light
them on fire the San Francisco
besides
you don't throw the things in
the drink
which some people do San
Francisco
collect some the city collects
them
before the other guys but
before the
owners collect them because
there's
trucks going around picking
these things
up yeah but if San Francisco
sees one in
this lunch somebody just laying
around
they'd throw it in a truck and
then they
impound it in this 150 bucks to
get it
back right that's the Dare so
there's a
profit Center yeah make these
bikes a
profit center for your
community well
they're not gonna do that but
hi it's
cuz Oh didn't we answer that
already no
idiots yes why don't you run
for City
Council yes why don't you run
for City
I've free of no yes I'm doing a
podcast
here now but I filled out their
survey
and I was very clear that I
found this I
find this entire movement to be
discriminatory since you need
to have a
smartphone in order to activate
it I
agree so I think that's
discriminatory
but also as part of the rules
this is and I just don't think
they're
playing by these rules users
will have
access to dhoklas mobility
services
without having to share
personally
identifiable information and
can opt
into data sharing only after
getting
clear information about what
data will
be shared Oh bullcrap you have
to you
have to give me a driver's
license just
to be able to use the system
so that's not true yeah oh yeah
I'm sure
you have to opt in but they say
you
should be able to use it
without sharing
your information so they're not
doing
any of that anyway
it's Austin's crazy
luckily it's only downtown
listen to the
the following now yeah well
yeah now
it's sir I had lunch with Sir
Jean the
other day and I you know we
from time
that he doesn't leave he so it
came in
downtown and we're eating our
salads yes
as two dudes do very nice and
just one
soon one scooter after another
Jean says
I'd never seen it like this
it's just don't chill one after
another
tuna chewing on the sidewalk
scooping
around so listen to this this
is the the
company's and number of units
they have
this is just downtown bird
scooters has
500 scooters and they have 500
supplemental licenses then
there's jump
they have 250 bicycles lime has
500
scooters and an additional 500
supplemental licenses pace has
500
bicycles vo ride has 350
bicycles but
here's what's interesting there
is 20
scooters belonged to the goat
company so if anyone sees a
goat scooter
steal that for me and then
there's
there's one out of it called
spin that
has one scooter that's really
interesting one scooter anyway
so
they're gonna make this all
permanent
and there's not a single thing
about
where you're supposed to
operate these I
think that you know it just
kind of
makes sense I'm all for it by
the way
I'm not against that just but
let's
let's pretty numbers but yeah
but you
don't live downtown Austin
you should be able to use them
without a
smartphone anyway so all you
actually
you throw it oh okay so you
don't really
care about these scooters being
a menace
to society
yes I do I care about you just
care the
fact that you don't have you
can't get
them gig no you know I knew you
would
say that no but yes because
what you
just said I think that is that
is the
biggest problem and if any of
you
everybody would use it on the
street or
on the bike path where it
belongs then I
would be okay with it
but that's not what it is the
situation
is out of control so now so
until I am
just putting my my foot in the
sand here
until they give me a smartphone
free
I'm going to I'm going to take
a sharpie
and every single one of these
that I see
I'm going to scratch out with
indelible
Sharpie ink the QR code so it
will
render the whole device useless
oh you've become a vandal yes
I'm going
to vandalize okay vandalizing
I think a can of black paint and
spray-paint would be easier
just a quick
little blast
yeah but I'm afraid you
couldn't you can
scratch that off and a Sharpie
is much
harder but that truly is
that'sa kilise
healing use well if you want to
have
some fun just take a little
spray of
acetone I'll try that see if we
can get
it off yes good one no I know
tato just
curl up anything that's plastic
yeah
that's the tones nasty for
plastic so
sir jean and i had lunch at mad
greens
which is truly as a salad place
and
there was a long line yeah this
is a
great format there's a couple
of places
here flower child has it and
it's
basically a cafeteria with nice
tables
and you wait in line and you go
by the
lunch ladies and they yeah you
can
choose maybe some variation but
at all
it's all right there like
Chipotle it's
kind of that get used to prison
and they
don't give you metal a
silverware that
you can rattle so don't have
that yet
but when they put those in
you'll know
your training is almost
complete would
you like the tin cup sir oh I'm
about to
graduate and and it's taken
quite a
while but yeah we're chatting
away so it
was not a problem and we get up
to the
front and jeez I'm so sorry so
sorry
we're really short-handed today
so what
everyone's sick no we can't get
people
to work what I mean they just
don't show
up no no we can't hire people
we we need
people desperately we cannot
hire a
single person and it's like 15
guys have
your homeless guys vagabonds
walking out
front my head is exploding we
have jobs
here here's like real jobs a
real
necessity they don't pay enough
I guess
I thought she said it's beneath
me now
that's probably it but you know
I think
that people should do the to
take it
take advantage of this
opportunity
because you know then you can
learn how
to also work in the prison
system yeah
there's a handy how's the
prison full up
I'm gonna go in and comes in
one flavor
I think they I think they
probably are
offering 15 bucks an hour bring
anybody
in do you had you know anyone
who wants
to work sit on it was there any
repercussions in the city after
the near
University there in Austin lost
again to
the mediocre Terrapins from
Maryland in
the football game
oh I have no idea i I didn't
didn't
realize what you had again do
we have a
team be bebo isn't that our
mascot yeah
we have the Longhorn be no beep
oh the
animal that's his name well
we're on BMO
number eight forget what is it
vivo
nobody goes I knew I'd get the
letter
right vivo vivo vivo yeah
it's okay so no no one's
talking about
that also I'm not walking
outside it's a
hundred degrees I don't talk
not talking
to anybody but we're still one
of the
great quirky places to retire
we're
number one
everyone's coming to Austin for
retirement now yeah we're
Howard know
we're great quirky place to
retire all
quirky yes quirky quirky yeah
okay let's
go change a few topics here I
got one
that's kind of off-the-wall
this is Faraj apparently he's
thinking
about running for London's
mayor the
truth is a group of people have
approached me they say look
there are
more people in London that
voted for
brexit invaded for Sadiq Khan
when he
became mayor and actually if
you look at
the numbers that is true but
for those
of you wildly speculating I
have quite
frankly I've been so busy that
asked me
in the last few weeks I've
barely given
it a moment's thought I will
give it a
moment's thought over the
course of the
next week I'm probably not
gonna do it
but I will certainly think
about it Hey
who know hmm hmm that could be
very
interesting well it is a
stepping stone
to better higher offices I mean
no it's
the stepping stone to like the
real deal
yeah I mean that's what Boris
Johnson
came from right right right
rest assured
he was almost a prime minister
that
would have been so cool
it would have been funnier than
what
we've got great for the show oh
yeah
Theresa May is boring
oh and and whenever she does
something
interesting it's video like her
little
jig she was dancing with the
yeah right
she's not good for this show
good for
the show very bad makes
horrible faces
and the sauce that's all visual
television it's not good not
good for us
so she's out so this could be
good that
would be fun he just kind of
drew it out
there I think as if that was
his feeler
[Music] I think as if that was
his feeler
well here's another kind of
back to the
bank versus real estate I do
have this
clip this is the money funding
funneling
operation which they're all
atwitter
about thinking that this is
another way
to get Trump tell us about this
case of
this American lobbyist who
pleaded
guilty today to funneling
illegally
funneling money from some sort
of
foreign source to the Trump
inaugural
campaign and also not
registering as a
foreign age right his name is
Samuel
Paton he's a longtime Republican
operative political operative
here in in
Washington and he pleaded
guilty to
failing to register as a
foreign agent
here in in federal court here in
Washington one of the things
that's
interesting about this case
wolf is that
it was referred from by the
special
counsel robert muller to the US
attorney
here in washington to
investigate and as
part of his guilty plea today he
admitted not only to to lying
to senate
investigators when he appeared
therein
in january but he also said
that he
essentially helped a couple of
oligarchs
from ukrainian and russian
oligarchs i
attend the inauguration of
donald trump
by essentially buying tickets
for them
to hide the fact that they were
foreigners you know which is
illegal for
them to be able to donate to the
president's inaugural so he had
this
scheme essentially where he had
someone
else buy the tickets in order
to for
them to be able to attend and
keep in
mind donald trump's inaugural
raised a
hundred and seven million
dollars which
is twice as much as any of
previous
presidents have raised for their
inauguration so it is something
we know
that the special counsel has
been
investigating in particular
their
connections with oligarchs who
were
asked about this was a pro
russian
oligarch ukrainian that this is
potentially consequential first
of all
pleading guilty to not
registering as a
foreign agent that's a felony
could go
to jail for five years half a
million
dollar fine for that but also
illegally
funneling money to the
inauguration
that's pretty significant as
well
uh yawn well reel spinning
while a while
that was going on I was in my
head I was
thinking about all the
different ways
that these payoffs take place
and the
minor players need to be helped
out and
how does that work you know
this that
this go fund me this has become
the the
way to pay people off for doing
something that's a great idea
but we've
John all of him didn't call me
also have
a go fund me I don't remember
calling me
by no struck did struck had one
McCabe
had one and there's huge
amounts of
money they collected anywhere
from 150
to 150 thousand to you know and
up but
what yeah if you go in and you
look at
those go fun hands this is a
great doses
of money laundering deal well
you know
if it's just something to
consider pay
off a methodology for paying
off just
cuz it's all blind John it's
just a
thought but you know if we had
like some
really big Russian donors no we
don't to
the show this Boris will pay
these guys
off what are they worth 500
bucks okay
Ivan how much do I have to pay
to call
me call me hmm million five
hundred
bucks yeah you know if if I
ever start
up my own podcast I'm gonna do
the do
that model this shit your
donations are
basically just money laundering
my show
is doing great money laundering
and
bribes and I thank you I think
I thank my customers gracias
friends
yeah yeah no you're right I was
thinking
the same kind of thing in the
same thing
when the struck got all this
seems like
a huge amount of money if you
look at
the first I can buy out John
listen you
go to the first twenty
donations you can
scroll back in history most of
them are
anonymous most of them are for
thousand two thousand that's
where the
big money comes in then you
know word
gets out oh yeah and you have
to be on
your way that always works it's
kind of
the network effect and then you
know
smaller people the dupes come
in like oh
yeah the dummies and they get
closer to
the deadline and it always kind
of oh
look they made exactly the
right amount
so they're always kind of fill
it up at
the end I'm telling you this is
what
needs to be investigated I
think the
beauty is everything needs to be
investigated and that's gonna
be on your
tombstone my friend his final
request
was this unveiling it's a scam
exclamation mark I don't know I
was
gonna say anymore but and yes
it's a
scam GoFundMe yeah the GoFundMe
well you
know what here's what I was
gonna try
and say all of these money
laundering
scams it's very hard you can
look at it
as a scam or not a scam is some
of them
the way the money flows is just
kind of
it's like art you know it's the
same
thing art is money laundering
it's all
kind of legit even though it's
money
laundering you know I mean it's
like how
are you gonna prove that was
money
laundering if you just bought
something
and sold something and
well you can't and that's the
rest of
the beauty of yes yes the
problem is you
have to find you know you have
to find
someone who knows is a bunch of
illicit
their illicit cash is that this
the
illicit cash part that is the
problem
they got to move it through a
system so
they can have it in their bank
account
without having to just walk
into the
bank and drop in a hundred
thousand
dollars and ones right
that's where Bitcoin comes in
yeah yeah
I know we keep saying that no
it's
probably a good conduit for
money
laundering yeah surprised me of
course
it is yes but
there's a lot of these things
it means
if we look at the world
differently we
can see you know people need to
launder
their money
yes the cash cash business
running the
cash business we you know a lot
of it is
to avoid taxes I mean some of
these you
see I go to the bank and we do
pretty
much all our stuff on PayPal
and checks
yeah given the amount of cash
we get we
get some but you know just took
drop it
in there but I go to the bank
and I see
somebody coming in from usually
Chinese
guy running some sort of an
operation
[Music] running some sort of an
operation
adds it up and turns in a
machine it is
how much they bring it in the
Chinese
guys there I take five ten
thousand
bucks in a pop okay and yeah
but it's
you know it's all cash and you
have to
assume that some of it has to
be I mean
if you if you're doing an
all-cash
business I'm all by the way
I've always
suspected old cash restaurants
or
probably probably keep an eye
on him and
it's not that you did anyone's
doing
anything illegal in the
business itself
is another they're taking drug
money and
well that's difficult because I
know I
know friends of mine have been
have been
busted in all-cash restaurants
you know
back in the in the 80s when
really no
one had credit cards and the
inspectors
will sit in your restaurant or
you know
they'll they'll take turns and
they'll
just sit there and look and
watch what
people are ordering and they'll
know
pretty much exactly how much
you should
be filing an income they're
pretty good
at that they have models I
don't know
how they got your machine
learning man I
have I went to a
money-laundering
restaurant me me used to work
at one the
restaurant should just be
called the
money laundering restaurant me
me used
to work at a money-laundering
restaurant
she says it's pretty hard to
tell
sometimes especially didn't
even know
for a while but I went to a
place I was
sure his money laundering
because I
ordered a lot of stuff bike the
place
was a topless place it was a it
was a
jump and joint it was packed it
would be
very hard to figure something
joint were
you there in your zoot suit
yeah so it
would be pretty hard to figure
out how
much money was going through
there
because you'd be buying all
this so do
you think you're buying all
this stuff
and then when you get the check
compt oh yeah that's the that's
another
great way to do it and if
you're sitting
there trying to keep track well
there's
a sale of this or sale of that
yeah well
half the stuff is comped in this
restaurant right oh yeah I know
him comp
him so you get a whole comped
meal I
mean yeah there's some
immediately to me
that just is what I have never
been here
before the one guy says he
knows me I've
never seen him and they're
comping my
whole thing money laundering
yeah and
and but the idea behind a lot
of money
laundering it seems to me is
not to is
not to like take drug money and
push it
through the system but to avoid
income
taxes the system but to avoid
income
so you have an all-cash
restaurant and
you do let's say a million
dollars a
year and you declare that you
do 500,000
a year it's a lot of money is
saved
there if you don't declare the
other
500,000 because it's all cash
you put
that you know you launder that
yeah so
this is going goes on
yeah maybe that's the big push
back
against Krypto because once
once people
figure out that you can do all
this
stuff and you and you can
really avoid
mainly taxes by just by pushing
this
money around yeah yeah no way
does the
system want that to happen
no no well they don't like this
not like
this in allowing this and just
to kind
of tied this into a
conversation we're
having someone sent me a
Bloomberg
article and this came out we'll
only
came out on the 30th that
Google and
MasterCard have had this deal
where they
are completely sharing all
information
together oh yeah like in mass
MasterCard
has two billion customers
yeah and they really haven't
told anyone
that I mean you sign away you
sign away
everything when you sign up for
your for
your car you can opt out
there's someone
of people have sent me some
information
you can opt out I guess or you
at least
you can say it's like pushing
the button
on to get the crosswalk
hey the button the button lit
up didn't
get to cross any earlier so
just empty
wires but yeah
the slaves that's you and me
we're just
caught in this constant loop of
tracking
by everything and everybody and
meanwhile the elites they're
out there
just passing money around
there's probably elements of
that yeah
there's another thing I got
here which
is that I don't know where how
this fits
into the big picture but let's
play this
this is Trump versus the Koch
brothers
another operation that needs
are looking
at obvious lashing out at the
powerful
conservative activists and
donors
Charles and David Koch in a
tweet this
morning the president called the
brothers a quote total joke in
real
Republican circles he said I
don't need
their money or bad ideas the
president
went on to call their network
quote
highly overrated over the
weekend about
500 coke donors gathered for a
seminar
Charles Koch who leads their
political
organizations slammed mr.
Trump's trade
policies and said they could
trigger a
recession Koch reportedly also
said he
would back Democrats if they
aligned
with his values Koch officials
have said
they plan to spend between 300
and 400
million dollars on the upcoming
midterm
elections you know I'm a little
confused
what exactly do they want I
mean I know
they hate Trump but what
exactly do they
want what is their agenda what
furthers
their empire and what helps
them oil
their oil based so anything
that helps
the oil industry should help
them yeah I
don't see why they have I don't
know
what their grudge against Trump
is now
it's very confusing to me I
think but I
think it's great they have a
grudge
against Trump because it just
kills the
old left-wing argument oh the
Koch
brothers the Koch brothers the
Koch
brothers always bitching and
moaning
about the Koch brothers yeah
you know
that in citizens united know
citizens
united is ruining the country
instead
Neha those are old talking
points those
don't work on races racist you
got to be
racist racist that's the
talking point
racist racist racist I've been
I've been
tracking these I'm just calling
them
social justice value networks
because I think that's that's a
descriptor really what they are
and it's
been very interesting to see the
in-and-out burger boycott of
you have
you tracked this at all yeah
yeah and
you know because this are they
say hey
look we donated the exact
amount same
amount to everybody after every
party or
whatever at least to the
Republicans and
Democrats and and now you know
you have
the the social justice value
network
there's still boycotting it
makes the
line shorter in and out burgers
this
pain in the ass to get into I
think it's
a benefit most people around
here feel
the same way right but I'm
talking more
about the interest to what to me
interesting is that it the
power that
these networks have and I'm I'm
always
surprised like why are you
wasting your
time in a burger joint I mean
it works
really you you have power stop
pussyfooting around do
something sent
you know I don't know but we're
gonna
have one of these where it's
going to be
two networks against each other
and it
just seems like it's mainly
left that
are they're doing this that
know how to
do it that know how to organize
know how
to get apps together and block
lists and
bans and all that stuff and if
the right
ever figures it out it'll be
interesting
when they know you're out we
can do it
but the right does doesn't do
it they
don't have a mechanism they
don't have a
there's no media matters of the
right
there's no sleeping giants of
the right
and a Daily Caller now please
Tucker
Carlson to the rescue I don't
think so
just a little ultra mall this
is a great
little clip someone sent to me
just to
show you that when you really
know
something about a topic it's
always kind
of interesting when you listen
to the
news when they report on things
and
you've got to wonder do they
make this
mistake in every other topic
this was
about a skydiving plane crash I
don't
think anyone was hurt but the
local
reporter did of course show up
on the
scene to talk about the crash
landing
and the possible cause
the airport than with the
manager and
again as I've said we've really
never
had any problems that then the
inputs
run very well
and the Hazelden told us that he
believes the issue was with a
defective
flux capacitor though the NTSB
wouldn't
comment hey it's a flux
capacitor which
she then pronounces capacitator
which
was even better H we got that
wrong
flux capacitor yeah so you just
you know
cat give you a clip of the day
for
discovering that one
well I percentage I was gonna
say I
can't take credit for that but
[Music] take credit for that but
presentator oh there was a it's
not a
clip item but NPR had a really
interesting article and you
know I'm not
big on NPR these days certainly
not
there they're podcasts or shows
whatever
they call them is a lot of
moron spewing
moronic crap but this was some
good
reporting the school shootings
that
weren't and what they did is
something
that oh my god they actually
had a
journalist you know we had the
this huge
number of school shootings and
the whole
every every outlet every journal
everyone was talking about
we've had 160
190 200 300 shootings this year
school
shootings remember that oh yeah
do I
want to do if we have a clip of
the do
we have a like a compendium of
everybody
was all nuts about it no
school shootings I thought we
there was
like some are we know you have
accepted
recent clip of some guy
debunking most
of this nonsense as well I
don't have it
for today's show but I have it
first
Thursday yeah so what I have
here is the
spring the US Education
Department
reported oh uh - 2015-2016 was
nearly
240 schools with which reported
at least
one incident involving a school
related
shooting incident involving a
school related
and NPR reached out to every
one of the
schools repeatedly over the
course of
three months and found that
more than
two-thirds of those report
incidents
never happened sounds right
they were of
the 240 incidents reported and
re
reported ad nauseam they were
only able
to confirm 11:11 in 161 cases
schools or
districts attested that no
incident took
place or couldn't confirm 1 in
at least
four cases they found something
did
happen but it didn't meet the
government's parameters for a
shooting
you know it's like a rubber
band and I
mean a gun so this is this
should
disturb everybody because the
hysteria
was pretty big on this and
every single
news outlet just went along
with with it
and and so NPR in their wisdom
someone
you know we should go check
that out
they did and they're actually
checking
up on the US Education
Department
you know so this is a
governmental check
which is what them isn't that
what the
the press freedom is all about
yeah
checks and balances you're the
fourth
the fourth leg of the table
yeah I had
that clip today but I thought
well Bravo
NPR for doing that well good I
think
that tides turning on these
school
shootings they're trying to find
something else to talk about I
do have
his longest clip which I wanted
to do
because I was misled oh oh but
by being
a Democrat for much of my life
and by a
lot of things and very orc by
some of
these things but I had no real
understanding and there's a
long clip at
circa but it's very good that my
understanding of the Fairness
Doctrine
is not what I thought it was
and I this
is this is rush limbaugh going
on and on
about the Fairness Doctrine and
how
nobody understands what it is
even
though they're talking about it
constantly and now he and I do
our test
do we want to do any background
before
the clip about the Fairness
Doctrine so
I'm doing now oh I'm sorry
uh I will attest dafair yes the
Fairness
Doctrine was employed after the
Roosevelt administration to try
to get a
little balance on the radio at
the time
the radio almost exclusively on
the
radio but now radio and
television
applied to both and it really
all it
really did was say you have to
you can't
when you start looking into it
what it
really had to do it was
personal attacks
that were unfair that's what it
was
really about people would go on
a TV
station or a radio station say
bill our
atom curry he's a crummy B hole
I hate
him they had read it back then
and know
that's what they were doing
there using
the airwaves for Reddit okay
got it got
it so that was there was this
sort of
thing created this and other
moments and
during the Truman Roosevelt
turn switch
over created this Fairness
Doctrine
which went into play and v in
the 50s I
think 52 and and it's not to be
confused
with which is what we always do
and the
only mistake in in this when
you listen
to the brush talk here it's
he's got
everything exactly right
because I
checked everything out he said
one thing
he make one error which is the
equal
rights are equal time there is
a thing
called the equal time rule yes
he calls
it the equal time doctrine
that's the
only mistake he makes but the
rest of it
is all accurate and and what
what
brought this on that he was
discussing
this apparently people are a
foreigner a
night I've heard this from him
a lot
they have brought it on where
people
esteemed scholars giving talks
around
the Washington DC area and
elsewhere
talking about how the Fairness
Doctrine
wants Reagan just destroyed it
created
the likes of Rush Limbaugh and
ran the
Fox News and all these things
which
wouldn't have existed before the
Fairness Doctrine was repealed
that's
that's interesting so they they
truly
only see one side
the results of repealing this
doctrine
they only see the Rush
Limbaugh's and
the Fox News of the world they
don't see
an N and MSNBC
well the point is what they're
seeing is
imaginary yes because rush
limbaugh as
he'd attest to in this little
spiel had
been doing the Rush Limbaugh's
show for
three years during in the
Fairness
Doctrine and it's a station in
Sacramento it was just a
coincidence
that he showed up right after
the
Fairness Doctrine was that he
became the
poster child of it kind of yeah
vertically hmm and that the
Fairness
Doctrine has got nothing to do
with
anything going on with Rush
Limbaugh
foxes or anything else about
censorship
well here listen to rush this
was this
morning in Washington the White
House
Historical Association held a
forum on
the president's and the press
during a
discussion of the evolution of
opinion
driven media presidential
historian John
Meachem said nineteen twenty
one radio
comes along television in the
late 40s
there's something called the
Fairness
Doctrine here we all own the
public
airwaves so the idea was you
could not
express an opinion unless you
gave equal
time to both sides so most
people
decided to stay out of that
business
altogether and because part of a
generalized deregulation move
President
Reagan repealed that in the 80s
as 8687
Rush Limbaugh goes national in
1988 by
1992 he's so important that his
support
of Pat Buchanan helps bring
George HW
Bush down in the 90 to New
Hampshire
primary 96 you have Fox MSNBC
CNN was
found in an ad of course but it
did
began its move and so you had
this
period where we did have more
or less
with the kind of and part of it
also is
is it that's the media world in
which
most of us grew up or we're
custard this
idea of Cronkite and New York
Times and
there was a conversation that's
prickly
to get back this these people
mischaracterized the Fairness
Doctrine
every time they talk about it
the
Fairness Doctrine is not equal
time
equal time as a separate
doctrine it's a
separate theory or a separate
regulation and it applies in
campaigns
but the Fairness Doctrine let
me briefly
tell you what it is when it was
in play
did I worked in kpk doing in
sacramento
doing this show under the
Fairness
Doctrine it didn't stop me it
didn't
stop the management of KF PK we
had we
had me we had people that
discussed
carrot cake recipes at the
holidays we
had people discussing local
sewage
problems we covered the baby I
happen to
be the only one talking about
politics
but there was no limit and we
lived
under the fairness doctor way
it worked
was if I said something on the
air that
somebody in the community
disagreed with
they would they weren't we
invited him
in would put him on the program
they
didn't get equal time they got
to appear
if I wanted to have him on for
10
minutes or 15 that's what we
did but
even that was not a requirement
fairness
doctrine was simply something
that said
there has to be an attempt that
balance
but how you define balance is
up to you
but fairness doctrine balance
has never
said that if you do three hours
of
conservatism you gotta follow
it with
three hours of liberalism it's
never
been that so if you as a radio
station
you do three hours of
conservatism maybe
Sunday morning you do three
hours of
liberal band you're balanced if
you do
ten hours a week of something
as long as
you do an appreciable amount of
time
during the week doing something
else
you're balanced it's not equal
time and
it doesn't grant opponents
automatic
answer these people don't even
know what
the Fairness Doctrine is all
they know
is well they think they know is
that
when it was repealed was when I
finally
had a chance to blossom what
they don't
know is I worked in Sacramento
doing
this exact show for all intents
and
purposes for three years under
the
Fairness Doctrine it was not a
limitation in any way shape
manner
Reform know that okay yeah I
can see
where know that okay yeah I can
see
that mistake is commonly made I
we've
probably done it ourselves I
believe so
about the Fairness Doctrine
versus was
the equal time equal time rule
yeah
which is by itself bullcrap
it is when you read it it turns
out to
be bullcrap well it's also it's
it's
kind of binary it's like oh you
said
something someone else gets to
say
something but if the third
person shows
up and says hey you had an hour
you gave
him half an hour gave him half
an hour
now I need half an hour well
actually
let me tell you what their
equal time
rule actually says it specifies
that us
radio by the way this came into
play in
1927 in the radio act the u.s.
radio and
television broadcast stations
must
provide an equivalent
opportunity to any
opposing political candidate who
requested that for one thing
you have to
request it and it doesn't apply
to
editor to here for example
since 1983
political debates are not
hosted by the
media stations are considered
news
events and as a result are not
subject
to the rule consequently the
debates may
include only major party
candidates
without having to offer airtime
to
minority parties or independent
candidates talk shows and other
regular
news programming from
syndicators such
as Entertainment Tonight are
also
declared exempt from the rule
so the
whole thing is that's even just
a very
weak I mean the equal time
thing doesn't
even really mean anything right
so this
we've been misled yeah well
that's
interesting to know I should
have played
the more you know in the
morning just a
great little fax just yeah kind
of nice
nice to know
[Music] to know
so Limbaugh brings this up
every so
often because apparently he he
doesn't
like being implicated that his
success
is due to the repeal of the Act
that's
it's all about him it's always
all about
him of course that's what he
does
oh it's way it's the four
hundred
million dollars yeah is that
what he's
making four hundred million
dollars he
doesn't make that he makes he's
a four
hundred million dollar deal he
made to
do would make ten million or so
many
years he's just loaded this guy
yeah cuz
yeah often will have something
on Sunday
write down Bernstein oops right
down to
the clip and he'll play it on
Monday
we have people that listen to
our show
they do truly we have people
that like
from Artie that listen to our
show we
have people from Infowars that
listen to
our show throw us a bone you
know set up
a GoFundMe the skinny wimps old
white
guys will take their stuff yeah
this is
I realized as I was listening
to some
NPR stuff cuz NPR news and
their whole
news division is you know that
they're
bordering a little bit on MSNBC
at this
point with NPR NPR news
Ono NPR's got downhill their
whole
division it's just they were
their risk
I think and I am we've
discussed this I
think that they now even when
they're
doing regular shows they've
forgotten
that it's not a podcast or
maybe it is
you know they're all in podcast
mode
basically which is a lot looser
which I
do like with it yeah there's a
little
more banter I think podcasting
has
changed mainstream delivery
certainly of
certain types of radio with an
NPR and I
also realized I'm listening to
this
there was a saying in the
Netherlands
when PIM for town who won the
election
posthumously in 2000 was
assassinated a
week before the election and
this was
this you know this phenomenon
this tall
bald a very flamboyant gay guy
who said
enough with Islam we got to
stop it
coming into our country and
it's always
very controversial but one of
the first
ones to say that the
multicultural
society was not going to work
out and
later on of course he was right
about
that he was always talking and
the the
conversation in the Netherlands
at the
time when I was living there
was that
Norman and vara de norms and
values and
I realized that every election
that
eventually it comes down to
that norms
and values and I don't think
I've really
heard it in the US election
that much
except with Donald Trump you
know it's
just he's not presidential
whatever but
have you heard
this term norms and values no
well it's
it's now in play and they
actually have
two different norms norm Eisen
of Cru
which is what is that the keep
keep
politicians honest group and
then
another norm norm Ornstein nor
Ornstein
and they're talking about Trump
and his
norm so they had it was a cute
little
thing oh it's the norms on norm
but just
listen to how they feel and
what they
report the first one is Eisen
of crew
what's the deal with norms why
should we
care norm Eisen about the fact
that this
was a president who promised to
drain
the swamp changed the way
business is
done in Washington and
certainly at
least tonally in terms of
behavior
demeanor and speech seems to be
doing
just that
well David thanks for having me
the
reason that we should care
about Trump's
transgression his brutal
violation of in
norms is because they're in a
bucket of
things I just have to stop his
brutal
violation we don't even know
what norms
are yet we're still trying to
figure
that is already a brutal
violation of
prompts transgression his brutal
violation of norms is because
they're in
a bucket of things that matter
to us as
humans whether you call them
norms
ethics values or laws because
these are
the underlying concerns that
drive our
Constitution our law our
regulation we
want people to do the right
thing and
that's where drain the swamp
comes from
it's a desire one that Norm
Ornstein and
I share and have devoted our
careers to
to make Washington function
better so it
serves the people instead Trump
has
broken it he's turned it into
unconstitutional crony
capitalism
benefiting himself and those
around him
he's abused the First Amendment
and
other like that was my favorite
I would
he do that
stop the interview how did he
abuse the
First Amendment that perfect
benefiting
himself and those around him
he's abused
the First Amendment
other normative values that
Americans
buy his attacks on the press
assaults on
the individual
people of color minorities and
others
who he marginalizes and on and
on
everything we care about has
been
transgressed by him and he
hasn't bro he
hasn't drained the swamp he's
filled it
with the toxic sludge of
corruption
alligators and PR ladies and
gentlemen
[Music] and PR ladies and
gentlemen
just as I was listening to that
I'm reminded of a bill that is
going
through the house right now
it's HR six
six nine one introduced by it
was mr.
handle and the witnesses and it
will
amend title 18 of the United
States Code
and it will clarify the
definition of
crime of violence
and you know what do you
consider and I
think it plays into this
because the
guys talking about assault and
you know
all these his didn't even say
violent
attack or whatever is bashing
all these
