platforming Adam curry

[Music]
the drone star stayed here in

morning everybody

northern
Silicon Valley where I think we

go from Imola as president I'm
John
Seymour whoo yeah that's what I
said
whoo
I'm looking at the trades this
morning
right at the tree
do we have trade magazines for
podcasting now I guess we do
yeah the trades the podcast on
cider yes
they're going all off on Mamola
best
ratings on Saturday Night Live
ever
Momoa so this guy yeah he's got
never
heard I feel pretty
disconnected to a
popular culture right now yeah
well you
should mm-hmm
and so this guy who obviously
has a new
publicist um he's an actor uh
he's been
in a bunch of things that's
like it's
not a household name by any
means but I
guess he is to some people Momoa
Oh Jason Momoa Jason Momoa all
right so
what has he been on that we've
well I
guess he was on an old Stargate
okay the
TV series I think and I don't
know what
else hmm he's long hair dead
guy kind of
hunky guy was a douche bag
beard yeah he
looks a little bit like our
very own
Chris Wilson to be honest in
Australia
even a little rougher though
Wilson is
the next memo of my friend
hands down
somebody's got to get the egg
into your
plate Ronin decks on Stargate
Atlantis
Khal Drogo in oh hello Game of
Thrones
Oh game of that's why we don't
know the
guy he's probably the most
famous actors
of our time because he's on
Game of
Thrones Yas Queen all right
good next
president fantastic although I
will be
coming to you from the future
on today's
program talk about I you have
something
from the future I do but not
right now
it's I don't wanted to just
dive into it
let's ease into it because I
felt this
weekend for me was a point
aplomb to
tipping a tipping point where
the m5m
certainly the cable news media
actually
became unwatchable for me it
was on
watch demand from the past
you haven't seen that like
months ago
but okay I mean I've really
held in for
a long time but when the Mueller
whatever completely unimportant
unrelated stupid information the
sentencing of Cohen it's like
going I
mean the the movies the
scenarios I
should say actually Scott Adams
talks
about movies but the scenario
that MSNBC
and CNN and conversely Fox have
concocted it's just not worth
anyone's
time anymore it's like remember
when the
Malaysian Airlines plane went
down and
as it still hasn't been found
and I recall watching CNN every
day they
did stores it was wall-to-wall
stories
about this missing aircraft we
had the
crazy lady from Singapore who
was in
China we a we tracked a lot of
it and I
remember it was one year they
did that
story for a year until they
finally had
to give up on it because people
weren't
interested anymore and I think
we're
reaching this point with just
this
blather and they did this to
what
they've dreamt up it's it's
just it's
not like if you want to go in
that
direction yeah give me some of
that well
let me go with dreamt up I want
to play
because there's two bits in
here that I
want to keep notice by the way
I don't
want to tell people if you get
to
Microsoft 365 to get a terabyte
of data
it's bacon baby you better
fight it
bacon you get a terabyte of
cloud
storage but what's cool about
put all
the clips on the cloud mm-hmm
the
software they're using to do
search is
so much faster than my desktop
software
so I can find whole clips I boom
instantly excellent so I find
that today
but I've always felt that the
cloud
would be good for that because
instead
of keeping your stuff on your
locals you
know using the blame search
stuff that
we have on the desktops to put
it in a
big mainframe and let the
mainframe
crank through this big index
you believe
it's being indexed by a
mainframe
well it's probably notes there's
obviously a bunch of those
servers but
the software they're using is
much
better than stuff I have okay
and this
is this is Microsoft's cloud
yeah
Microsoft's cloud okay I don't
think
Ronis has a cloud to that I
thought they
were gonna be doing more of
this or
thing but let's listen to two
Brooks
Brooks and shields and Brooks
and he's
got two predictions in here
that I'm
gonna I wrote this ought to be
really
long so I could look it up
later he's
got two predictions in here
based on
what you just said about this
crazy
scenario they've dreamed up
what do we
think it it adds up to what is
it first
these guys are not very good
co-operators if you're gonna
cooperate
cooperate but man four it's
going to
jail probably for the rest of
his life
in cones getting a healthy
sentence
because he sort of semi
cooperated
something like that but I think
what
we're seeing is the pace ramped
up on a
lot of fronts with they're
clearly
interested in the more context
than we
knew with Russia in 2015 with
the
campaign this one called
synergy they
apparently found and then
especially the
business dealings the Trump's
dealings
with in Moscow and my instinct
is that
there's going to be a lot more
investigation to business than
the rest
into Russia collusion there's
just a lot
more there and the other sense
you get
is a lot of Republicans are
looking at
this White House and they're
seeing an
administration under a lot of
judicial
and legal threat and a lot
under the
political threat and they see a
White
House counsel's office that is
denuded
of authority and people and
then what
they call the membrane around
Trump is
frailing and the membrane is
the group
of people they put around Trump
to
protect him from himself and
over the
years the whole pixas of the
world and
maybe in the next few days the
John
Kelly's of the world are going
and gone
and so you see a Trump
unprotected from
himself I need to begin to see
a lot of
Republicans who are looking
seriously at
2019 with a lot of Friday's
like this
one and Trump you know really
hurting
himself and maybe not serving
out the
term Joe's dream come true and
you know
what's happening I was
listening to
Dutch news radio over the
weekend I've
actually Saturday that Tina had
some
some nonprofit work to do and
so I'm
just
- this connotes if she's around
it's you
won't understand it and the
every
journalist that came on it's as
if they
sat at home and had their
morning coffee
and watched MSNBC yeah because
they can
get that over there they can
they can
and you don't even need to have
MSNBC to
get this story and then they go
on the
air and then just like oh oh my
god
you'll never serve out his term
and and
of course they'd like to
pronounce
trumpet shrimp so all you hear
is this
Boop trip there's a drink drink
group
and it's the same delusion is
just
delusionary oh I think it's also
delusional to think that mana
fort is
going to be sentenced to life
in prison
for his financial crimes yes
well we
don't have to go through it
again it's
that this has nothing the only
thing as
far as I can see that that may
that
maybe maybe maybe is out there
is
somehow illegal campaign
contribution
due to the payoff of the
stripper and
the the other a we should if
you're
gonna bring that if somebody
did bring
this up in a tweet and I
thought it was
something to bring up John
Edwards who
ran for vice president took
illegal
campaign contributions up to
the tune of
a million yes his sidepiece
that's right
and all you pay is a fine and
then you
know it's done
he didn't get any other
punishment
besides a fine did he I don't
even know
he got a fine yeah every
campaign makes
mistakes like that no Obama
campaign had
money that they took
incorrectly and
it's all kinds of stuff so but
that
doesn't matter it's it's in
these
people's heads
this is the wit delusional is
the right
word I cuz I kind of soft pedal
that has
incredible wishful thinking but
at the
point that it is now I would say
delusional is the some
incorrect term
yeah I mean just from a legal
standpoint
argue this from a legal
standpoint it's
just not there but that's the
way it is
Comey testified
jams commie and as per his
wishes he
released the entire transcript
of his
behind-closed-doors
testimony was released I think
almost
the same day 250 pages of stuff
some of
its redacted a lot of I can't
recall
that's always my face that take
somebody
count is 57 or so I heard it
was 250
times that's what I heard
well it's it's quite a long
document one
of our producers did pull out an
interesting quote as a lot of
people
have been going through this
let's see Ratcliffe asks Co me
I'll just
I'll just do this one paragraph
here
alright so I guess I tried to
summarize
what I've heard today Hillary
Clinton
mishandled classified
information more
than a hundred times
she made false statements about
it the
FBI was aware that at least one
of her
aides also mishandled classified
information and one of the folks
employed on behalf of Secretary
Clinton
intentionally destroyed
evidence known
to be subject to a congressional
subpoena and preservation order
and lied
to the FBI about it and on July
5th 2016
you stood you sir stood for the
American
people and said that neither
you nor any
reasonable prosecutor would
bring any
charges in this fact pattern is
that
accuracy is it accurate mr.
Comey is
reply yep I believes it then I
believe
it now and anybody that thinks
we were
on Team Clinton trying to cut
her a
break is smoking something yeah
yeah
yeah see it's too bad we don't
have
audio of that cuz I would have
been much
better I agree with Jim Comey
you I
couldn't have been out in the
open well
I think it's cuz everyone's
showboating
and it's probably embarrassing
for
everyone exactly very
embarrassing so
now we have
a new pic for the Attorney
General
William bar I guess he goes by
bill bar
they call him bill like Robert
Mueller
is Bob Miller
I don't know barb I heard was
William I
like Bill barb bill by tomorrow
everybody how you doing
you know turns out he worked
for the CIA
didn't he work for Papa Bush
yeah as his
attorney general which was like
what a
hundred years ago and now the
guys still
up for another Attorney
General's job
after Clinton and Bush jr. and
everybody
in between let's see he was
born in 1950
so he was young at the time then
yeah it was it be in his 40s
overwhelm
1950 so he being this yeah late
60s has
gotta be mid-60s I was we could
probably
figure it out if we did the
math yeah
gosh if we actually took a pen
to paper
Wikipedia is not helping one
Tuesday
they put it in Paris yeah it's
not that
I'm looking for it it's like
why didn't
they give me an age here yeah
and height
sixty-eight there's no height
there here
is okay so it was interesting I
think
the peak was made public
when Bush's train was doing the
tour or
whenever part of the funeral
processions
with procession which I also
did not
watch so it was kind of an
interesting
time you know timing to choose
that but
this guy himself is I mean I'm
not quite
sure why the president picked
him here's
Greg Jarrett on Fox Business
News
talking about cuz he know he's
of course
reported on this guy in the
past and
here we go the president has a
duty to
direct the Attorney General
what to do
what not to do this whole
notion of
Independence is a canard that's
been
peddled for 40 years now as for
William
bar I'm sort of of two minds yes
unquestionable integrity a fine
reputation great experience he
brings
gravitas to the job drives an
establishment figure at a time
when I
was gravitas
you know gravitas is
interesting because
it's a term they tried to use
they tried
to push this term on Obama no
no way
before that the first time I
saw them
trying to push push this term
was when
Clinton was running for the
first
president for the first time
Hillary or
bill bill hmm this goes way
back this is
this this was just stemmed from
the
original Governor Cuomo ah the
old man
yep who was gonna run for
president when
George Bush was up for a second
term but
he decided not to because if
he's gonna
get reelected so Clinton got in
and that
was in the coup almost
political career
for good because it was a mitt
be made a
mistake cuz he would have been
the
shoo-in it seems
but they started they dropped
this term
into the public domain of
left-wing
media which is I'm going to
call it
gravitas and they kept talking
referring
to Cuomo as being the best
candidate
because he has gravitas gravitas
they kept hounding us with his
word
gravitas then it will
disappeared
completely and now they're
trying to
revitalize it gravitas high
seriousness
is the merriam-webster
definition
dignity seriousness or
solemnity of
manner yeah I think there's good
once they've rediscovered it
which is
you just pointed out I think
they're
gonna stick you're gonna go
hard with it
because it's just the opposite
of Trump
well we always try to be
Gravett Oreo on
this show I've always tried to
have
gravity fly out of the room a
toss to
the job but he is an
establishment
figure at a time when I think
we need a
disrupter as Attorney General
somebody
who would vigorously go after
corrupt
officials at the FBI and
Department of
Justice who were abusing their
positions
of power and attempting to
undermine
democracy I'm afraid bar is not
that guy
[Music]
oh he's not that guy so on PBS
they had
the woman a black woman who's
won this I
think she's she seems sweet but
she
seems incompetent and it's a
shame
because there's so many
experienced
black people that could be Gwen
replacement is it it's the Gwen
replacement it's the Elson door
woman
and but so they keep giving her
different assignments which she
still
doesn't care it very well
because she
doesn't present well she can't
enunciate
like a PBS person should which
is old
network style but they had her
do run
downs on all these different
people that
are that Trump's talking about
replacing
one person with another and she
did one
on William Barstow and
completely listen
to her point of view because I
think she
did a lot of research she
talked to a
lot of people I think this is
actually
she did a pretty good job
except her
presentation still skills are
still
lousy William Bar summary when
you hear
her version shake up so you
nice let's
talk first about the basis pick
to be
Attorney General when there's
an acting
Attorney General but Bob Barr
Robert
Barr who has been our sorry
William bar
the administration of President
Bush
George HW Bush is now being
asked by
President Trump to become
Attorney
General what do we know about
him what
we know is that William Barr is
looked
at as a respected attorney and
that
Democrats and Republicans today
signaled
that they could get behind him
and
support him as Attorney General
I want
to walk you through who William
Bar is
from 1991 to 1993 he was
Attorney
General for the late former
President
George HW Bush he was however
involved
in the controversial
iran-contra pardons
he formerly worked for the CIA
in the
1970s and he was an executive
at what
he's done probably knows him
really well
he was maybe hello Don didn't
cover up
Bush's ass Contras oh I'm sure
they know
each other
Iran Contra pardons he formerly
worked
for the CIA in the 1970s and he
was an
executive at Verizon he is now
practicing law in Washington DC
people
that I talked to today told me
that he's
an establishment Republican
this is not
someone who's a Trump loyalist
the
president has billed at times
the
cabinet members in the White
House with
people who are loyal to him
personally
but this is someone that
someone like
Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz another
Republican had they become
president
might have picked for their
attorney
general I'm also told that he
is someone
who has had some past comments
that are
controversial on Special
Investigations
and Special Counsel I want to
read you
something from the New York
Times in on
November 14 2017 the New York
Times
published an article where they
said
quote mr. Barr said he sees
basis more
basis for investigating the
Clinton
uranium deal than any supposed
collusion
between mr. Trump and Russia
and mr.
Barr told the New York Times to
the
extent it is not pursuing these
matters
the department is abdicating its
responsibility so to be clear
mr. Barr
is saying that Hillary Clinton
might
need to be investigated some
more he's
also said that it's okay for
presidents
to specifically ask for
investigations
to happen under the DL J so
this guy is
in essence a veteran of the
deep state I
think his definition of a
veteran of the
deep state I mean holy moley
but still it seems odd that
Iran well no
I guess he
now 68 okay it makes sense he
was he was
young though back in the day he
must
have been a go-getter
yummy yummy slay Oni Alcindor
has quite
the resume including winning
the award
named after were not a named
after Dana
a tribute to Gwen Ifill who
passed away
the Syracuse University toner
prize
she's been she's New York Times
she's
been around
she has cred yeah as a writer
oh it will
stir hello of course
don't get me started on the
television I
mean that's our job
but it's okay no one ever asks
us our
opinion we know it works they
do ask us
our opinion actually but nobody
thinking
about about the television
presentation
myself that we're very
knowledgeable
about okay yes it's our opinion
but hey
what do you think of Trump I was
watching you talk about this is
Pluto TV
which shows up on the Roku box
I love Pluto TV yeah you get
some ghost
streaming stuff and before you
go on I'm
gonna give you a pet peeve of
mine okay
so I got Pluto TV it's on the
Roku
people should get it it's got
all kinds
of cool stuff has got Sky News
it's got
all kinds got the cat Channel
have you
watched the cat Channel I saw
it and I
did not start it I might have
you in a
crowd of people you're stuck
there for
hours you know it seems like
that
actually seems like a really
good idea
considering the popularity of
cats on on
the Internet's and considering
that you
don't deal with agents you know
there's
no residuals to these ads of
these cats
I mean it's it's a great it's a
moneymaker okay it's it's
powers of cat
video I mean I did I do watch
for a
moment the channel where these
young
kids go out and they you know
they shoot
an arrow with a rope across a
canyon and
then they just you know swing
on the
rope have you seen this Oh
makes makes
me nauseous the what but I'll
watch the
cat channel that's beef bill by
the way
you'll love the cat channel
even if you
don't like cats you'll love the
channel
to pluto channel you put it on
they got
all these they got all these
different
mini networks and then they all
it loads
the hit one boom it comes up
you hit one
become Xfinity has got Xfinity
streaming
uh beta Xfinity streaming
nothing comes
up you click on it and you wait
if you
wait long enough sometimes up
to ten
minutes the channel will appear
and then
if you if you happen to like
try to play
a channel and it spinning and
spinning
and you're waiting for it to
appear it
doesn't have any you say I'm
sick of
waiting and you try to turn it
off boom
it blows up the Roku box and
reboots it
mm-hmm
it is a piece of unbelievable
unrelenting crap hey man why
don't they
buy that's technology from the
Pluto
Channel hey man that's what net
neutrality is all about man
it's like
they're getting throttled
somewhere bro
so I'm watching the Pluto app
and so you
know the RT Sky News there's
one or two
other odd ones but that's
really what I
was going for
MSNBC's on there no CBS n CBS
endosomes
is it right yes see Bisson so
because I
gave up I gave up on the m5 n
so off we
go to Pluto that's there's
nothing in
between
apparently the Pluto TV but but
Artie
was doing a really good job of
covering
what was happening in Paris
holy moly and you know make no
mistake
but yes only Artie is covering
it I told
you there was you know some
rumors about
the BBC having been issued a D
notice
and not just BBC of course I'd
be
everybody but there's not a lot
of
reporting on it and what I saw
was you
know exactly what you'd expect
from a
color revolution we've now you
know you
have to really watch the screen
and see
that it's not all people with
yellow
jackets but there's also people
yellow
jackets with a you know with a
macabre
on who are ruining stuff you
know the
bread there again they're
smashing into
the Apple store stealing all
the all
this stuff in the Apple store
which is
just about the stupidest thing
you can
do children when you're LARPing
around
and you want to go steal
something from
the Apple store because your
other
LARPing friends broke the
window and we
were in and you just grab it
all and
take it home
you better not be hooking that
crap up
to the internet because the
Apple police
will find you very very quickly
I don't
care what you even give it to
somebody
else is going to come back to
you these
things are completely loaded
they know
exactly where these boxes are
there's a
million ways for them to find
it don't
steal that and they saw they
they ran
into a golfing store a golf
sporting
goods store got a whole bunch
of golf
clubs ran outside started
smashing the
window with the golf clubs I
don't think
this has a lot to do with the
climate
change tax any more there is a
genuine
very unhappy
I think maybe the Marrakesh
agreement
which should be signed today or
tomorrow
that may have something to do
with it a
lot of people in so that sadly
brings us
right back to migration but it
looks
more and more like a color
revolution is
set up that way with the Yellow
Jackets
is now in Belgium they were in
Brussels
they were trying to you know at
the
European Parliament they're in
Amsterdam
they're in Rotterdam it's
happening
everywhere and as long as the
m5m
doesn't give it too much
attention
it might not you know catch
fire I think
is that's what the thinking is
I think
that's exactly what the
thinking is
Artie is the only network as
much as
people like to condemn them at
least
they're covering this and
they're
covering it well yes although
it's kind
of funny in the French
newspapers and
now saying oh Lila potties yeah
which is
a Parisian newspaper to be
specific
looks like possible foreign
interference
going on with these Yellow
Jacket
protests and you know who they
who they
peg right away Russia that's
where our
T's covering it but this was
the Perry
jam though yeah yeah there are
must be
Russia half-truth show the
proof I don't
think they have any proof at all
none whatsoever but yeah that
this is
the major cover-up in the news
and even
Democracy Now
is not covering it I mean
especially not
democracy now especially not
they would
definitely not want to cover
because of
the climate think yeah well
this does
kind of bring nobody's coverage
so this
is the great news systems that
we have
yeah
and they can't cover this and
it's
exciting riots there's nothing
more
exciting than riots like this
and what's
interesting is that you see you
know
Tina asked me I say what do you
think
when is this gonna happen here
I said it
doesn't happen here that's not
how we
work they don't we only do that
kind of
stuff when our favorite sports
team wins
then we do that kind of stuff
we don't
do it out of anger or anything
we know
we take to Twitter we don't
actually go
on mate yeah yeah we don't
actually go
out and do something about it
my job is
my work is done here
okay this brings me to a little
report
from the future as I was it's a
little
presentation I put together for
us
um and this really comes down to
conversations we've had about
Alexandria
Ocasio Cortez and I believe
she's a
force to be reckoned with and
let this
is not about the merits of what
she says
although it's always fun to
stop and and
and chuckle about how
entertaining the
things are that she says
because they
clearly are not not entirely
based in
reality and somewhere just
funny but she
has a following she has a
movement I'm
seeing the kids like it these
are we're
talking she looks if she looks
like an
actress who should be starring
in
Hamilton
well she's gonna star on the
big stage
this is just the beginning I
unless
Nancy Pelosi cuts her off
dramatically
which I don't think she's going
to do
hmm because the support is
garnering I
think she already has almost 25
Democrats who have signed up to
her
[Music]
and I figured it I might as
well look
into this green New Deal and
understand
what it is they're talking
about she has
all the Millennials following
her they
love her and imagine this
you're born in
would say nineteen nineties
make it an
easy millennial number you grow
up
hearing one thing consistently
you're going to die from
climate change
now seriously yeah not like you
and I
who've been around who have
seen the old
articles we're gonna die cuz it
was too
cold and in ten years nothing
you know
we'll all be gone the plan will
be
obliterated
so we witnessed all this not
happening
which is kind of fun we
witnessed it not
happening we remembered but
when you
grow up a kid then you just and
your
parents are also you know kind
of not
really engaged in climate
science or
climate truth just like oh yeah
yeah
climate change big problem then
all you
hear is the the bit the
grown-ups
talking about how horrible and
death and
destruction we've talked about
this it's
having an impact and these are
the
children who grew up with this
and have
been impacted and believe it so
I can't
fault them at all it seems in
fact I
would say if I was the evil
genius
behind climate change global
warming all
the megabucks associated with
it I would
probably want this to be the
outcome
here come the freshmen here
come the new
kids they're in their 20s and
they're
all in on this stuff and it's
spilling
over everywhere here is the
intercept
podcast just a short little
clip well I
think you know it remains to be
seen but
the kind of basic tenets of it
are that
we could have shorter work
weeks we
could have a functional mass
transit
system for folks who live in
New York
the MTA just so you understand
this is
what the Millennials believe
fixing
climate change will do and she
is
specifically talking about the
green New
Deal GND and this is what she
believes
putting this this grand New
Deal in
place will achieve well I think
you know
what remains to be seen but the
kind of
basic tenants of it are that we
could
have shorter work weeks we
could have a
functional mass transit system
for folks
who live in New York the MTA
could
actually work maybe beautiful
affordable
rent control public housing you
know a
job where our bosses aren't
screwing us
over sort of any number of
things you
can imagine but a careful
consider fit under the screen
umbrella
and most importantly the planet
wouldn't
be burning around us and sort
of baking
us all into it's baking us all
so the
way I'd like to do this is
indeed let's
mock and laugh at everything
they say
because yeah well and there may
be some
validity to the to their
thinking that
the green new deal will solve
all these
problems but it sounded like
this was
solving everything the
Democratic
socialists of America want oh
yeah it's
always won they always want
mass transit
to get people out of their cars
could to
ruin their independence so you
can you
know get off your horse we you
have to
get on a bus get on a bus and
in San
Francisco of course or in most
metropolitan areas you have
situations
probably not as bad as San
Francisco
where there's beatings on the
bus people
are pooping on the bus you know
everyone
thinks you're a loser if as
long as we
can all poop on the bus then
it's okay
intersectional pooping as long
as we can
all poop on the bus it's okay
so I'm
just showing this to give you a
little
example I started watching TYT
I think
it's also the Young Turks is a
force to
be reckoned with in this arena
and and
the people are getting on there
and
they're talking about it and
it's
starting to move we have this
movement
called the sunrise movement oh
yeah yes
the sunrise movement is it
doesn't
really belong to anyone
according to
their website there's no on the
upper
ball yes I mean about us
there's nothing
now if you it says donate and
that'll
take you to the act blue
website which
is really that's not an outfit
that does
anything per se but they're
kind of a
clearinghouse for yes for these
sorts
towards it that you have to pay
yeah
patreon huh another thing we
got to talk
about so here is one of the
what is her
name
moschini Prakash and she's on
with chunk
on The Young Turks just to talk
about
the green New Deal and the
sunrise
movement just to give you a
little
background and and these are
not stupid
people they've just been
incredibly
misinformed from there the men
they they took their first
breath yes
they've been propagandizing
this is how
it works so movement is working
to build
an army of young people to stop
climate
change and create millions of
good jobs
for our generation we see
ourselves as
working to actually transform
the
outrage and frustration that
young
people have felt at witnessing
so much
political stagnation and an
inaction on
the issue of climate change for
our
entire lives we've known about
the issue
of climate change twice as long
as I've
even been alive on this planet
you see
you see you understand what's
happening
with these kids now and have
yet to do
something meaningful about it
so we are
really working at the Nexus of
protest
organizing and protest
demonstrations
things that really help us get
our story
out into the public and and
getting
people and politicians paying
attention
to the crisis at hand and
combining that
with some hard-nosed political
and
electoral organizing but we have
completely altered young people
across
this country have altered what
is
politically possible and
feasible in
this country on the issue of
climate
three weeks ago I was seeing
headlines
that said dense damp down hopes
on
climate for next Congress cycle
and now
I'm seeing headlines like
climate change
tops Democratic agenda for 2024
2019
2020 and beyond that is
unbelievable to
me and it happened because
thousands of
young people started organizing
to the
crisis like a green new deal
we've done
hundreds of office visits to
congressional politicians
asking them to
support Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez's
Select Committee for a green
new deal
and that would create a plan
that at the
true scale and scope of the
climate
crisis so young people are
energized we
are motivated we understand
what is at
stake with the wildfires that
the
drought-induced wildfires that
have been
destroying California and the
west coast
the IPCC report that came out
saying
that we have 12 years to
radically
transform our economy and
society to
protect human civilization as
you
it's young people are wicked
and we are
also ready to take action so
and I
believe that I believe that
they are
ready to take action do you
want to say
some thing is there's all these
little
zingers that they keep throwing
in there
like the little phrase you use
create
millions of good job
oh yeah well so this comes from
the
actual document which I took
the trouble
to go get and markup a little
bit from
the Congressional website for
Alexandria
Ocasio Cortez it isn't G indeed
is
calling for a select committee
for a
green new deal and this was
interesting
it's not just a couple pages
are marked
up a few things I've never
really looked
into how committees work and
how they're
put together what a select
committee
even means what we do know is
that to be
on a committee you have to pay
millions
of dollars into the party into
the party
coffers and that's how you get
on we
this has been we've discussed
this in
great lengths and sometimes you
know a
chairmanship can be what 5
million bucks
or something you've got to
bring into
the party coffee to get that
goes to the
party so the Select Committee I
didn't I
didn't realize it but a select
committee
for a green new deal the means
that the
Speaker of the House actually
selects
the 15 members that are being
proposed
here so that would be Nancy
Pelosi and
will be nine of the majority
and it'll
be six of the opposition it
will have
juror it will have legislative
jurisdiction this select
committee which
Acacio AOC is promoting and
these select
committee shall have the
authority to
develop a detailed national
industrial
economic mobilization plan to
be known
as the green new deal for the
transition
of the United States economy to
become
carbon neutral and to
significantly
drawdown and capture greenhouse
gases
from the environment it will be
prepared
in Council so we're gonna have
leaders
from business labor state local
governments and academia will be
involved in this in this green
new deal
they can bring in research
institutions
and everything they do will
have been
planned and executed he no
longer than
10 years from the start of this
plan
which would be in
2020 and then that kind of
comes down to
the 12 years you just heard
about the
ten years by 2030 we have to
have
everything fixed we have to be
completely off fossil fuels
otherwise we
all die then they're going to
create the
soda by it by 22 January 1st
2020
they'll have their complete
plan then
they'll have legislation
they're going
to draw up by March and they
will also
have investigative jurisdiction
which is
a big groan for me because that
just
means they're gonna do more
studies
funding I'll get to that in a
second let
me go to thee there we go scope
here we
go the scope of the plan for a
green new
deal and the draft legislation
and there
has a number of points here in
each case
no longer than 10 years from
the start
of the execution of the plan
100% of
national power generation will
be from
renewable sources 100 percent
within ten
years there will be built a
mess there
will be built a national energy
efficient smart grid whatever
that means
that means you can shut it down
remotely
from China bingo we will
upgrade every
residential and industrial
building for
state-of-the-art energy
efficiency
comfort and safety
decarbonizing the
manufacturing agricultural and
other
industries I know how you can
decarbonize agricultural
industry but ok
the funding massive investment
in the
drawdown and capture of
greenhouse gases
- I find to be an interesting
choice of
words they have some frequently
asked
questions and this was my
favorite
so here's one of their facts
why do we
need a sweeping green New Deal
investment program why can't we
just
rely on regulations and taxes
alone such
as a carbon tax or an eventual
ban on
fossil fuels and the answer is
regulations taxes can indeed
change some
behavior it's a certain
possibility to
argue that if we had put in
place target
regulations oh how about my
printer cut
this off damn it sorry my
printer cut
off the right side of the page
climate
change there you go
well then I'll just go straight
to the B
here since I can't read it here
why
should the government have a
big role in
driving and making any required
investments why not just
incentivize the
private sector and they say two
things
here two main reasons scale and
time
first scale the level of
investment
required will be massive and
even if all
the billionaires and companies
came
together and were willing to
pour their
resources put the resource at
their
disposal into this investment
the
aggregate value of the
investments they
could make would not be
sufficient for
example the one trillion
dollars over 10
years plan for investment in
the green
economy that has been floated
by some
policy makers has been
criticized by
climate experts as only as
wholly
inadequate one trillion is the
entire
market cap of Amazon think
about that
so think I need a lot more they
think
and second time and this is
another so
you just heard scale the level
of
investment required will be
massive time
the speed of investment
required will be
massive
I think they just copy-pasted
even all
the billionaires and the
companies could
make the investments required
they would
not be able to pull together
they
coordinated response in the
narrow
window of time required to
jumpstart
major new products projects in
major new
sectors so it's massive
investment
massive time it's all just
massive and
how will the government pay for
these
investments well many will say
massive
government investment how in
the world
will we pay for this the answer
is in
the same way we paid for the
2008 bank
bailout and extended
quantitative easing
programs the same ways we paid
for World
War two and many other Wars the
Federal
Reserve can extend credit to
power these
projects and investments new
public
banks can be created as in
World War two
to extend credit and a
combination of
various taxation tools
including taxes
on carbon and other emissions
and
progressive wealth taxes can be
employed
so they just say in fine
American
tradition print up the money
and they
end at what I give them credit
is
unbelievable I give them credit
for
knowing how the system works
nobody not knowing how it works
now this
green New Deal is not new this
is the
exact same deal popped up Oh
seven years ago with Obama and
today
we're going to look at the
green New
Deal
well President Obama has
embraced the
idea of a green stimulus package
pledging some 150 billion
dollars of
investments in low-carbon
infrastructure
in order to create jobs Gordon
Brown has
also espoused a green new deal
in his
case it's to also boost
employment with
eco-friendly transport and
renewables at
the heart of his strategy so
are we
going to see a rush to green
investing
after all the returns last year
we're
relatively poor and if business
takes
the money will it be able to
actually
deliver the reduction in co2
emissions
that the world is now demanding
so it
was about a 150 billion dollar
try that
we did that didn't seem to go
anywhere I
didn't hear of any great
successes did
you know I all I heard is they
got worse
marginalized kleiner perkins as
an
investment vehicle that's right
because
you know they brought in Al
Gore and the
next thing you know they're
throwing
money it's stupid green project
sure
they lost their shirts on that
yeah and
and this was the same era that
this is
when Nancy Pelosi was the
Speaker of the
House the last time and she's
this with
that jobs jobs jobs jobs things
comes
from that we used they'd been
using on
the show for the last eight
years yeah
and she's and they presented
this kind
of this proposal that was gonna
pass and
and Gohmert called it you know
the piece
of turd or something like that
in front
of really Gohmert did that
Gohmert has
some comment and and the thing
never
inure was always passed and it
had all
this legislation about how you
have to
build your home in a certain
way and yet
that's insulation or you you
get fined
and no there's all these things
and it
was it was this huge package
that the
Senate just said no and that
was the end
of that what's gonna happen but
these
guys and just like the Senators
you know
we're not gonna do this
well this there's okay and by
the way
the Senate was dominated by
Democrats at
the time go yeah well so
they're just
before the weekend there was a
town hall
and the town hall was hosted
mainly by
Bernie Sanders who is very much
with the
young kids still the
Millennials they
all love him Bernie's all on
the on that
popular tip and they brought on
guests
many guests including our girl
AOC from the DSA hey but they
started
off with a little video again
just
setting the stage so you
understand how
kids today feel about it but
listen to
what she's saying and this this
really
confirms my point not only as
to what
these kids grew up with why
they're
thinking that way but there's a
little
nice little gimme in here I'm
21 years
old
growing up dealing with
hurricanes was a
regular occurrence for me and
my family
I remember being really little
and
feeling afraid because
sometimes my dad
would have to work during the
storm but
it wasn't until my family moved
to Fort
Lauderdale Florida that I
really became
closely acquainted with the
devastating
impacts of sea level rise we
moved
somewhere that sometimes called
the
Venice of America and it's well
known
for its beautiful waterways and
coasts
my family was lucky enough to
live just
one block away from the beach
when we
moved I started to notice that
every
time a storm would hit the
street in
front of my apartment would
flood and
sometimes it would flood even
when it
wasn't raining local businesses
would
have to put out sandbags to
stop the
water from coming into the
shores my
parents would have to move the
cars up
to higher ground for parking
there was
this weird dystopia where
regular people
were being forced to move up
experts and
the oceans tidal patterns and
sea level
rise on really bad days
to my apartment building would
be
blocked off from flooding at
the time I
didn't know that any of this
had to do
with something called global
climate
change or sea-level rise
I just knew that this was an
everyday
part of my family's life then I
went to
college and I learned that
flooding it
with hurricanes were just
warning signs
and more drastic changes to
come for
Florida and for the rest of the
world so
when she went to college that's
when she
learned that she was going to
die from
this ugly climate change that's
where
they taught her because you're
living on
the front and beachfront
property and in
it during a storm you get a
little
little flooding which has
probably been
going on since the 1800s well
they call
it advance the Venice of
Florida so yeah
it's been this has been a
problem for
since before she was born once
she got
to college that's when that's
when she
was told what this all was
about and
that's what these kids are
growing up
with if you're right I think
this is a
very good point you're making
now we get
into pressing this is the jump
normally
we put depressing stuff like
this at the
end of the show they donate oh
yeah we
do the depressing stuff up
front we do a
happy-go-lucky at the end so
people
donate if we're switching it up
John
just going crazy with the
format today
any anything to help here we go
to the
roundtable Bernie is of course
he's the
conversate combo Tricia is
about the
report that was released that
was Neal
covered up and you know does the
question here really is does
Alexandria
Acacio Cortez have you know it
does she
does she have the solutions
here is she
right oh and I might want to
point out
that on this panel is also Van
Jones Van
Jones the heck well you'll
recall he was
the greens are of the Obama
administration yeah he was the
guy who
brought in the Green Deal
initially and
got out stood because it was
actually
weird I think he was associated
with
some odd people and there was
it he
actually was all in on 9/11
like 9/11
inside job
out of the Obama administration
yeah get
that
let me see but I got a link
here what
exactly did they accuse him was
it was
Jones was under fire for his
past
affiliation with 9/11 conspiracy
truthers I'm reading this from
a 2009
article and for calling
Republicans
assholes in a video before he
was
appointed to the Obama
administration
Republicans Republicans then
also began
using him to escalate criticism
of the
administration's deployment of
czars you
recall those days across the
policy
landscape saying they were
being used to
avoid Senate scrutiny of
appointees but
more problematic was the fact
that
Jones's controversial
statements fit
snugly into the narrative wove
woven by
some conservative critics of
Obama as a
dangerous leftist a critique
that goes
back to the campaign and was
based on
much of his past work as a
community
organizer with associations of
the likes
of Jeremiah Wright and William
Ayers so
there was a lot going on when
Van Jones
got kicked out and he had to
fall on his
sword I remember it well we
were doing
the show so he's on this and he
of
course is weaseling in on the
action
that's why he's got a show on
CNN again
it's all coming around the
grand new
deal is President Trump right
now it's a
hard one I want you to think
about it
before you respond ideas out
there that
would enable us to create
millions of
good-paying jobs now this was
your
question John good millions of
good-paying jobs let's get to
the bottom
of it it's it's unsurprising
that the
response to any bold proposal
that let's
not mock her for her voice
let's just
what just bathe in it it's like
it's
like a potato army like a bath
of razor
blades but I have to say and
again I'm
just looking at the media
personality
here girls got it she's got
this she's
got everything you want you can
hate her
you can love her it's all in
there and
the voice cuts through some may
call it
piercing it cuts through so
fuels
it's it's unsurprising that the
response
to any bold proposal that we
have is to
incite fear to incite fear of
life by
the way I just have to say that
it's
crazy about how everyone
especially the
Republicans and the president
they
incite fear but that's exactly
what
she's doing
even in these words to any bold
proposal
that we have is to incite fear
to incite
fear of loss to incite fear of
others to
incite fear of our future but
the only
way we are going to get out of
this
situation is by choosing to be
courageous yeah that's the only
way
we're going to get out of this
and when
first of all it's just plain
wrong the
idea that we're going to
somehow lose
economic activity as a matter
of fact
it's not just possible that we
will
create jobs and economic
activity by
transitioning to renewable
energy but
it's inevitable that we are
gonna create
jobs it's inevitable that we're
gonna
create industry and it's
inevitable that
we can use the transition to a
hundred
percent renewable energy as the
vehicle
to truly deliver and establish
economic
social and racial justice and
that is
our proposal and that is what
we are
here to do because in the
depths of
darkness in the depths of
despair which
what we last saw listen this is
really
important what are you doing
you're
rummaging around you're
dropping stuff
are you she's now gonna give us
a little
history lesson for a second I
couldn't
figure out what she's talking
about
this is where she connects the
green new
deal to FDR's New Deal of
America that
is our proposal and that is
what we are
here to do because in the
depths of
darkness in the depths of
despair which
what we last saw you know when
we think
about where we were when the
New Deal
was established we were a
nation in
depression in Great Depression
we were a
nation on the brink of war we
saw the
rise of fascism creeping across
in in in
Europe and no one would
that a nation so poor so scarce
and so
in such dire straits as we were
in that
time could pursue such a bold
economic
agenda but we chose to do it
anyway we
had the courage and that is
what this
moment demands of us right now
that's
what we have to do we have to
this is
going to be the Great Society
we shot
the civil rights movement of our
generation that is the scale
that is the
scale of the ambition that this
movement
is going to rock so what she's
saying
here this is the moonshot which
by the
way it would just be easier to
make a
video about how great you are
with the
green new deal and just put it
out there
pretend we did it just like the
moonshot
it'll be like FDR's New Deal is
this
indeed like FDR's New Deal what
was
FDR's New Deal
Jhansi Dvorak no if I could put
it in
the nutshell it was a
reorganization of
the country somewhat and also
putting
people to work in make-work
jobs like
the WPA what's projects
administration
just get the Civilian
Conservation Corps
if you look at it objectively
the New
Deal didn't even work it kept
us in a
depression longer than we
should have
been in one oh really
I'd not heard that one yet but
all of
you you'll hear it if you just
look
around enough hmm I don't know
this
woman is crazy we weren't a poor
starving skinny little country
that's
what she's got in office we
were in a
depression yeah that's what
she's saying
she says we were a third-world
country
we think that the New Deal we
got out of
that well just remember this is
a
millennial when she thinks
depression
all she knows about the
depression
because of course she hasn't
read up on
it is the black-and-white photo
of the
men standing in line for jobs
where
their hats are standing in line
for soup
kitchens that is the entire
history of
the depression in the American
experience these days you think
they
went into anything deeper than
that
clearly not otherwise she
wouldn't be
suggesting these things so this
is the
idea and it's not new is to
create new
industry force industry away
from oil
economy which the United States
has
force it into things that do
that have
not been proven to actually work
financially which is wind and
solar now
if she said let's do nuclear
I'd be
all-in I'm like yeah I think
you can do
something with that I don't
know if you
can change the law economy
Chile that
nuke is kept out of the circle
and they
wanted to abolish all the use
of all
fossil fuels which is
interesting to me
because then she won't be able
to fly
from state to state to do this
propaganda how do you get
around with
how do you fly a plane or do
outer II
planes planes yes that one guy
you have
one guy in a super lightweight
plane
with a couple batteries has
been able to
get off the ground that's for
20 minutes
all right we move on so this
and what I
like about her idea and what the
thinking and I'm sure it's not
her alone
there's other people behind her
there
must be is all the problems you
see
everything and the problems the
kids
deal with is racism other ism
sexism
Nazism hate ISM whatever ISM
you want to
put in there all of that will
be solved
by solving this problem because
she and
the Democratic socialists of
America
want to redistribute everything
just
every job that has anything to
do with
energy wiped off the map map
bring it
back give everybody the same
salary the
same living wage the same
uniform
probably and march along to
work and do
the good work to solve our
climate
crisis how do we you know I
think what
we all understand is that we're
fighting
for the future of the planet
Alexandria
is talking about is that not
only can we
effectively combat climate
change but in
the process we can do good
economics and
create millions of good-paying
jobs here
and throughout the world
yeah absolutely and it's
important to
also talk about the fact that
this is
not just an economic solution
is that
this is how we this is the the
mechanism
through which we can really
deliver
justice to communities that
have been
underserved the water in Flint
is still
dirty the water in Flint is
still dirty
we've got children van and I
were
talking earlier we've got
children that
are that are choking on the
smoke in
California those same there's
same
children and rather children
newer I got
that was a good one by the way
that that
that got to me cause you see
these kids
will have those children in
Puerto Rico
Archer are choking on the
fungal spores
because we have not recuperated
from the
crisis girl I'm choking on
fungal spores
in Austin stop with that and
the mold
from the floods is taking up
all of
these people's homes we have in
Justices
in this country those in
Justices are
concentrated in front-line
communities
and indigenous black and brown
communities they are the ones
that
experienced the greatest depths
of this
injustice but if we chose and
if we have
the moral political and
economic courage
to say
gonna fix all the pipes in
Flint we
would put a lot of people to
work there
you go so it's putting people
to work to
clean your pipes that's okay so
you
create I don't know what do you
think
10,000 plumbers in Flint to fix
all the
pipes because you want to get
it done
quick quickly at that I think
that
number might work yeah and you
also have
some construction guys that
back hose
and things digging up you know
everything they can to get rid
of these
old pipes so you just put a
whole effort
on that and then you get that
job done
then what do you do with these
10,000
plumbers and that are in Flint
use them
for fuel obviously the plan has
a lot of
holes in it but that doesn't
mean Inc
that doesn't mean that the
people will
not be convinced by this
there's a lot
of abstractions extraction
extraction
Airy thinking going on it's
like all
that'll get solved in this done
is all
fine but yes I want to mention
something
cuz everybody's been all these
things
there's a big article I know
don't underestimate AOC don't
underestimate this woman don't
mock her
because you know that and
you're kind of
on the same boat no I said from
day one
I said people laughing about
her it
sounds exactly the way people
laughed at
Trump that's what I say I
understand
what you're saying and I but
you would
be on it I would say if there's
an
argument to be made you're
gonna be
making the arguments in support
of her
yes of course yes of course now
I think
she's just too stupid
personally to get
very far and I think you now
you just
heard the Trump thing at me
because all
I guess what they said about
Trump is
too stupid no and he sounds
stupid he
does he sound stupid he does
just like
aoc sounds stupid but I think
she's
genuinely stupid
I don't know if he's stupid or
just you
know street smarts no no no no
no I'm
just gonna say billionaire that
gives
him some credit for being at
least not a
complete idiot thing I didn't
clip it
but during this conversation
they
actually said in America it
seems like
you're only deemed intelligent
if you
make a lot of money and you
just prove
that and I not know I didn't he
said you
just said a guy who makes a lot
of money
he can't be stupid but no I
said I
didn't say it was intelligent
though
they they said that you you're
intelligent if you make a lot
of money
I'm saying you can't be really
stupid
and make a lot of money
there's a little different
I'm not gonna belabor the point
she is
not stupid she's highly
intelligent but
this is mind control and she's
all in
she has no economics degree
that as far
as I know but it also doesn't
matter
because she has an entire
Legion of
politicians lining up behind
her they
know they know it's not gonna
happen
they don't give a crap follow
her follow
the power they're following the
power
and you would argue they're
wisely
wisely following the power but
stop we
have breaking news we got it we
got to
say something about trauma can
we
interrupt this for you make an
announcement about your shoes
we need at
least a half-hour discussion
right about
your shoes the very kidding
it's a funny
no but but the exact same day
as the
Trump administration's climate
report
which they tried to burry Barry
which
they tried to air a month early
the day
after Thanksgiving
that same day they spent in
prime time
talking about my shoes and it
by the way
that was that the Trump
administration
talking about your shoes with
the news
media I'm not sure you may you
may have
to look for your enemies
elsewhere but
yes that is what I talk about
when I say
being unseen is that they won't
even
bring it up they don't bring up
Americans that make less than
40,000 or
50,000 dollars a year they
don't bring
up the fact that we have some
of the
large we have amassed some of
the
largest amounts of wealth in
American
history but we have never seen
so many
people struggling and living
paycheck to
paycheck in the way that we are
today oh
I think we have two more clips
and I'm
done now we bring in Van Jones
he will
promote himself well um first
of all I
just it just brings tears to
your eyes
it's just unbelievable and
Bernie myself
and a bunch of other people
here we
tried to take this hill yeah it
was if
we tried to take the gym
in 2008 yeah but you know I was
a nut
job a big part of Obama's
agenda was
essentially the green new deal
but you
know I talked about 9/11
truthers I had
a job in the White House to try
to
implement it right wing came
after me I
had to resign under fire
rewriting
history van
Wow that's why I read that's
why I read
to you what actually it
happened I knew
this was coming the guy just
thought but
of course we all gloss over the
errors
in our history White House to
try to
implement it right wing
remember had to
resign under fire then they
came after
bill and we couldn't get it
done but I
think you're going to get it
done and
[Music]
we're just we're getting well
yes
remember millennial rather than
talk
about my book the green collar
economy
the other thing I think about
your
politics that's interesting is
you your
generation uses term
intersectionality
which I've had to look up but
it's
I think we should call the
rainbow
coalition back in the 80s and
90s but
you guys have taken it to a
different
level can you just talk about
we had a slogan ten years ago
green jobs
not jails that we saw a
criminal justice
in economic justice and
environmental
justice is one fight that those
kids
standing on street corners we
don't have
you know disposable resources
we don't
have disposable species we're
never
disposable children are
neighborhoods
either it's all precious and
those kids
could be putting up those solar
panels
like like Bernie was saying and
there's
your good weekend job right
there John
those kids running around and
gangs what
could they be doing on the
weekend they
could be putting up solar panels
Solutions is what we're about
yeah
that's what they want to do
they want
kids to put solar panels on
their roofs
disposable resources we don't
have
disposable species we're never
disposable children are
neighborhoods
either it's all precious and
those kids
could be putting up those solar
panels
like like Bernie was saying and
making a
positive difference can you
just speak
to the intersectional power of
your
green New Deal
okay now this is that so this
is the
meat of it she's going to speak
to the
intersectional power of her
green New
Deal
I know a second a hint of
mockery in
your voice and you condemn me
for saying
she's stupid I'm not saying
she's stupid
well maybe you need to define
stupid
because you can't fix stupid
that's the
point I'm making can't fix
stupid
all right go on I'll accept the
mockery
in your voice you can now play
it which
I believe is probably going to
be the
punchline clip you made this
punch line
up on punchline yeah it's
really the the
core of that is leave no person
behind
we cannot solution we can it's
not a
military term Maurice leave no
blue
soldier behind leave no student
behind
leave no somebody behind no
child yeah
that she's derivative does she
I give
her credit for this by the way
she's
they've been doing a very good
job of
stealing other people's ideas
including
green new deal as you
not earlier in this indecision
but it's
not just stealing I mean she
took it oh
yeah and ran with it and
everyone who
was a part of it seven years
ago I was
like whoa I'm Dan Jones let me
power of
your green New Deal yeah it's
really the
the core of that is leave no
person
behind we cannot have a
solution we
cannot move forward into our
future
unless every single American is
considered part of that and
whenever we
see oversights you know
oftentimes when
we get to the negotiating table
in laws
and in policymaking there's
this idea
that oh we can leave the
poorest of the
poor behind or we don't have to
worry
about this tiny sliver of the
population
because they're just a tiny
sliver of
the population and what that
eventually
does is that it creates a crack
and that
crack really if you think of
there being
like a crack in the dam it's
usually
where things always break down
and when
we close you see the right way
with
integrity that honors everybody
from the
most vulnerable to the most
powerful
when we we acknowledge and see
every
person in this country which is
really
what it's about is that we have
chosen
not to see people in this
country we
have chosen not to see people
in this
country until the majority of
us have
become unseen economically
working
people are not seen in the
halls of
Congress working people are not
seen in
policymaking until we realize
that the
majority of Americans are
working or
working poor this is persuasion
and I
think it's good persuasion I
think she's
really said she said nothing
about what
she's doing nothing at all she
just
spoke in identity politics to
the entire
world of identity politics
groups and I
think it's going to be very
effective
here's your punch line clip the
good
news is that we're not starting
from
scratch there are so many
people like
van like senator senator
Merkley who who
had established the Select
Committee
when he was in the House a
previous
select committee there's a lot
of
legislation that has been
drafted to
already start addressing some
of these
smaller issues
just transitions in coal
whether it's
you know whether it's it's our
energy
infrastructure whether it's
battery when
we're looking at battery grids
and so on
there's a lot of work that has
already
been done but it needs to be
consolidated and brought under
the tent
of a green new deal and when we
try to
solve this issue piecemeal we
are not
going to get it solved in time
so what
you saying is everything that
deals with
the economy has to be in my
select
committee you can't deal with
it outside
of it
you got you got battery grids
whatever
that is that's in my gris-gris
grids
that's why we are asking for
this really
great ambitious singular plan
and that
is why you know I believe that
the
progressive movement is the only
movement that has answers right
now
we're the only ones that are
drawing
from the lessons of history from
Franklin Delano Roosevelt from
some of
the most ambitious projects
that we have
pursued in in American history
and that
truly again is the scale that
it's going
to take so you know I think
that there's
so much work that has been done
and
there's some outlying questions
especially when it comes to
investment
in technology here we go when
we as a
public choose to invest in
private we
when we as a public choose to
invest in
new technologies we deserve a
return on
that investment and for far too
long we
gave money to Tesla we gave
money to a
ton of people and we got no
return
losses our investment that the
public
made in creating technologies
and it's
about time that we get our do
because
it's the public that funded and
financed
a lot of innovative
technologies and
that's another you know so fu
Elon with
your no return on investment
thank you
AOC for saying that that's a
fantastic
example by the way financed by
companies
like kleiner perkins not that
they
pulled money out of their
pocket they
went to Washington they got the
money
was it five hundred million
dollars just
for Fisker alone forget about
all the
money that Elon Musk's has has
taken and
then we continue to subsidize
the well
remember that the
only reason that we're getting
raped and
this money is being taken from
the
public which means you're
taxpayers and
and 500 million being sent off
to a
Fisker that went out of
business the
first linndrum or any of these
other
companies it's because of
people like
her and this promotion of this
global
warming nonsense at this level
exactly
so it's like a vicious cycle
and like
you create the phony problem
and then
you solve it with you know then
you soak
people for money and then you
give the
money away and the money goes
to all
these it goes into somebody's
pocket
it's not that it's not you know
that is
actually being used for anything
productive is not being it's not
beneficial to anyone it is to
Elon the
whole thing is a giant scam yes
but our
job is to help the Millennials
who are
woke there aren't that many
that we have
a few yeah there are a few I'll
take the
ones we got because they're the
ones
that have somehow they I think
a lot of
them do poorly in school that's
why the
programming doesn't work good
the ones
that know how to fake it do
well that's
right right okay we got a note
from
Gabby Bentley
she said millennial boots on
the ground
school report I'll just give
you a
couple choice bits a bit of
background I
was hit in the mouth while my
dad and
brothers who've been listening
to the
show for years my dad is even a
knight
he is sir snoops Magoo and oops
I met
John at the meetup in Seattle
I'm the
girl standing next to him in
the big
group photo 24 years old I live
in
Tacoma Washington I currently
go to
Community College and have been
for the
last two years except for about
five
months last year Lander study
abroad in
Japan here's a couple of
observations
I'm just gonna pick one or two
there
this is an important one
there's an
epidemic of depression among
Millennials
I think that's because of
social media
and many quote disastrous
things they
read on it's causing their
amygdala to
become enlarged also many of my
friends
like to joke about the
depression and
romanticize it it's almost as
if that if
you're not depressed you're not
cool
it's very troubling
College after the election
after Trump
was elected teachers and
students at my
school became absolutely
unhinged I took
English 101 in the winter of
2017 and
almost every class my teacher
would
spend a lot of class time
spouting her
opinions on Trump some of which
I have a
recording of send it in spring
of 2018
my ended in spring of 2018 my
history
teacher would spend the first
10 to 15
minutes of class talking about
what CNN
had said about Trump the
previous day
even said during our unit on
the Cold
War quote Putin is worse than
Stalin
needless to say I spent a
majority of my
time in that class rolling my
eyes so
there are young young people
who are
woke I love using that term and
we need
to help them as much as we can
by
exposing this farce but make no
mistake
AOC and the DSA are on a fast
track to
power in Washington DC I don't
see how
Nancy Pelosi now with 25
members of the
Sun Rise coalition or whatever
they're
calling it 25 new Democrats are
all in
yeah I don't think she can just
say
screw it we're not gonna do it
she'll
she'll let them create it but
I'm sure
she'll hamper it somehow
well she'll try to control it a
little
bit I mean she did the same
thing with
the jobs jobs jobs let's vote
for jobs
right uh and she was all in on
that and
that was pretty much the same
the same
deal in fact it sounds almost
identical
to what was going on back in
2008
differences look at Ocasio
cortes look
at Nancy Pelosi but we're the
kids going
to be attracted to
ya know the kids are gonna
obviously be
ya know ya know are gonna
obviously be
attracted to the more
attractive of the
to the water which is Oh
glitches miss
bug eyes the one who was
slapping down
history it's been done before
FDR did
the New Deal we're gonna do it
more
country we were a poor country
we had no
money we were just slob
standing in line
for a job or its world and we
can get
battery grids so there'll be a
lot of
mocking don't worry plenty of
mocking
for us to do but I think she's
on a
fast-track and I'm not going to
discount
her and it's now my beat
you can have it and with that
I'd like
to thank you for your courage
and say in
the morning to you John City

Friday morning and Monday
morning due to
the time difference in to Japan
to get
my dose of sanity John your
newsletters
are always a great tease but
the recent
one was just outrageous asthma
cigarettes and no flies on me
thanks to
DDT it's baffling how over the
years
intolerance of the large grey
scale of
diverse opinions has grown and
more and
more people feel compelled to
simply
take sides with either black or
white
with nothing in between I was
stunned
that Tim Collins Tim Cook Tom
Collins
hypocrisy for wanting to
welcome all
refugees while Apple itself
carefully
scrutinizes who is led through
their
door a huge thank you for your

[Music]
here's some I won the match
from the
last show when we played that
woman who
the faker that was talking
about the
babies and the incubators and
all that
yeah democracy now clip yes she
also had
some stuff in there that was
that should
have been sending off alarms
you've been
in the Middle East
I have if you ever noticed that
when
you're driving like into the
through the
desert or any area where these
you're
usually on a highway or some
sort of a
paved road that's beautiful
highways in
Iraq they had the the highway
was eight
lanes and you drove in the
middle yeah
it was same in Israel's that
way they're
all these kind she made it
sound like
they're driving in the sand
listen Eclipse because they got
stuck
because they got stuck a couple
of times
because they're driving they're
driving
not on a highway or road
they're driving
and literally in the sand which
was just
to promote the idea that this
is just a
bunch of sand yeah of course no
cities
there's no road it's just sand
man sand
you know I caught the
intercepted that's
Jeremy Scahill
there's a podcast for the
intercept that
$250,000,000 blog that Greg
Greenwald on
Roth and that Pierre Omidyar
started
yeah and he did the pretty much
the same
thing as as Democracy Now about
Bush he
went really far just you know D
yelling
about and going into great
detail of the
the horrors and the death and
destruction that HW Bush had
brought
upon the world the ruthlessness
and like
wow this is another great
example of
someone not kowtow to the the
normal m5m
line it turns out you know what
this guy
came from his first gig was
interning
for a me at Democracy Now yeah
pretty
good that she always has a Mont
ready
good this is a little cult
Oh a little cult not only Mali
well it's
yeah it's a little cold so we
have it
looks like now Trump is gonna
check
a bunch of people out which is
that
doesn't surprise me after the
list the
end of the year it's the end of
the year
it always kick some people out
no I
don't have a rundown on the
number of
people but we do have a parent
and I
have but I have all these
little little
rundowns by the Elson door
woman on on
the main people that are
leaving and I
would like to play them so we
know cuz
for example uh mark Miley the I
who was
army chief of staff the top guy
the
joint chief no he's not the
joint chief
guy he is the army guy oh this
is the
guy you like yeah you like this
guy yeah
I do like this guy I have a
couple and I
still I brought some of his old
clips
back okay because he's the one
who gave
that little slightly long as
the three
minute 23 seconds on the world
order I
don't necessarily want to play
it right
now
but it looks like Tillerson well
Tillerson has been gone for a
while but
they're gonna bring in Miley
and then
they're gonna move over Heather
Nuart
now now we're her name is now
is yeah
now works and I want to play
this clip
about her bite by else endure
because
the mainstream media's gone
after
they're going after her oh yeah
because
she's one of them you see she
was a fox
news babe yeah although she's
very
accomplished in her own right
but she
now she's she's just she has no
know
about politics this was a
revealing clip
because it's as if else Endor
did a very
good job of running you know
giving a
rundown on her but she never
threw in
that she doesn't know what
she's not it
so Judy throws it in it makes
me think
that Judy's really the left
winger there
and once Gwen Ifill left Judy
has like
become a kind of a nut ball
Heather now
or she has been the
spokesperson and
assistant secretary of state
what do we
know about her
I'm gonna quickly walk you
through her
bio she was a spokesperson for
the State
Department she was she was
appointed by
President Trump in April 2017
she's a
former correspondent for Fox
News
correspondent for ABC News so
she's
someone who has a lot of
experience in
journalism I'm
told today that President Trump
appointed her because she's a
good
talker she's someone who has
defended
this administration's foreign
policy
plans
the president said she's very
smart very
quick people have talked to you
say that
she is someone who could talk
who could
really come up to speed on the
UN's
dealings that she could do the
outside
job which is giving speeches
and that
she could rely on her staff as
much like
hilly nikki Haley did to talk
about
other countries and get them to
really
to really support the things
that the
United States wants them to do
but no
significant diplomatic
experience how
can they be mean about a woman
I mean
isn't this mean isn't this the
intersectionality we want isn't
this the
diversity that we speak that we
seek I
mean let's see let's see
she went to shitty schools uh
Arizona
State there's a party school
yeah all
the pretty girls Bachelor of
Arts and
communications from Mount
Vernon College
for Women a master's degree from
Columbia let's see what she did
she did
work at some pretty serious news
organizations ABC News she
contributed
to ABC World News Tonight Good
Morning
America Nightline she was
nominated for
an Emmy Award for her
news prowess yeah what does she
know
stupid what does she know about
anything
no policy it's the wrong person
it's
exactly the right person
everybody who's
you know all these jamokes who
stand up
there at the United Nations
it's all
it's all PR everything they do
every
document the United Nations
comes up
with is just they we agree and
recognizing that there's no key
so
binding things that come out of
there
except the vetoes once in a
while on the
on the what is it the the war
committee
whatever security counts yeah
the war
council but otherwise it states
totally
and she's going to reign
supreme you
know what's gonna happen just
to be a
dick about it these old boys at
the
United Nations like finally
they sent us
a cute one after Samantha power
and and
by the way why is it
predominantly women
that we send their
yeah they yeah you're it's a
good point
I mean they've sent uh all its
up in all
women I've just been Hillary
was there
for one thing let's listen
Haley uh John
Kerry I think was let's look at
what's
all women let's look at the
list Haley
Michels Isum briefly Samantha
power
Rosemarie DeCarlo Susan Rice we
have to
go back to 2007 it was this guy
zom a
oka lozad calles odd
ah there's something about that
a hell
of an impact yeah really
that before that there's just
an acting
guy then it was Bolton bolted
in 2005
before that and Patterson then
we had
Dan first nigger I'm going back
in time
so really you go back to it you
have to
go back to 1993 will we find
Madeleine
Albright who ever know who
Drobo that
guess she's the exception to
the woman's
ruling now Jean Kirkpatrick in
1981
that was the jet flies overhead
but at
the last one two three four
five you I
think that it's time for a man
this is
not diversity the think it's
time for a
trend a Chinese man from denies
American
Chinese come on why do you say
that
because that we don't have the
ethnic is
all whites no Susan Rice is not
white
Samantha Power's not white
she's a great
man she's a great she's a
redhead she
was reptilian personally she's
a ginger
you
she doesn't count all right so
anyway so
the other guy they're putting
in is this
Maile character who I like as
you say
let's do the rundown this is
the Maile
rundown on PBS I that else in
door does
mill a general market only to
be the
next chairman of the Joint
Chiefs so
this is on someone else that
I'm gonna
have to pull up a graphic for
he is a
four-star general and and the
army chief
of staff he is a special forces
officer
he was um he commanded troops in
Afghanistan and Iraq and Korea
and the
people that I talked to who
know him
very well say that he's someone
who's
very blunt he's someone that
once he
figures out that he's right or
thinks
that he's right if someone's
gonna push
for his point of view that of
course
could mean that he gets along
with
President Trump who also was
someone
that's like that or that he
could butt
heads with the president
instantly I'm
also told that he really likes
to deal
with troops he likes to visit
troops I
talked to someone who spent
time with
him in Afghanistan and he told
me a
really funny anecdote and that
anecdote
is that he went to visit French
troops
for a french battalion and they
prepared
baguettes which are traditional
french
bread for him and when he bit
into this
baguette his dentures got stuck
in the
bread and the troops were
saying oh my
god were so embarrassed and he
said it's
okay troops I sometimes carry a
spare
pair of teeth with me so he's
someone
who's really down-to-earth and
who was
beloved in a lot of ways by
troops so he
could he could he could be
someone who
gets along with the president
you may
need that sense of humor
riveting
analysis of the war prowess of
this man
God well I think the connection
is the
false teeth yeah Trump hmm
buddy-buddy like how about you
then go
into a room and like hey bro
can we do
you have us to do it
oh no one else comes
that's pretty if we want we can
listen
to Miley's this we played on
the show by
almost two years ago Miley's
report on
the world order uh and how it
works and
what we do and how we fit into
the
scheme of things as a country I
think it
was one of the best analysis
anyone's
presented and it's right from
the
horse's mouth the guy who has to
implement it I think this is
extremely
important I recall us both
talking about
it and I'm happy to give it
another
whirl third Mayer talked about
the army
we have we have we don't have a
small
army and but the question on
size of
Forces Army Navy Air Force
Marines it's
a relative question it's not an
absolute
question it's a question of
what do you
want it to do how big do you
want it is
relative to the tasks you want
it to do
now the United States military
is a
global military and we have
been for
sure since the first world war
and and
with absolute certainty since
the
Bretton wood agreements of at
the end of
World War two which established
essentially the international
order the
rules and regimes by which the
world
runs today so for seven decades
the
world has had a certain set of
rule sets
emphasizing things like free
trade
international commerce things
like
democracy of the quote unquote
liberal
world order things like human
rights and
there's all wide variety of
things out
there then you've got
institutions that
it rests upon the United
Nations the
World Bank and the World Trade
Organization all these things
that were
developed many years ago and
that is
essentially what people very
quickly
referred to as the World Order
one of
the significant roles of the
United
States military for seven
decades has
been to enforce that world
order to
maintain it to maintain its
stability
and that's in our interest
because in
the first half of the last
century there
was a bloodletting unlike any
that had
ever occurred in history of
mankind
so between 1914 and 1945
a hundred million people were
slaughtered in the conduct of
war
and that's a horrible horrible
nightmare
my mother and father both
served in that
war my mother in the Navy and
my father
in the Marines and he at the
beach at
Iwo Jima where 7,000 Marines
were killed
in nineteen days now 34,000
wounded
22,000 Japanese killed on an
island that
was two miles by four miles
there were
millions of Chinese killed in
belt
battle and murdered the if you
order if
you want a real Trail of Tears
go to
Eastern Europe and see what
happened in
Belarus and Ukraine Latvia
Lithuania
it's horrific 9 out of every 10
Jews
that lived in Poland didn't
live didn't
wanna live in 1945 one out of
every
three males that lived in the
Ukraine of
Belarus were dead by 1945 it's a
horrific picture that occurred
and those
people who were in leadership
positions
in 1945 said never again we
can't keep
doing this this is insane they
said the
same thing in 1815 after the
Napoleonic
Wars and they set up the
concert of
Europe and that worked well for
a
hundred years for one century
they kept
the long peace in Europe more
or less
there were a couple of minor
flare-ups
the Crimean War and the
Austrian wrought
war and a few other Wars but
there
wasn't a continental wide war
until 1914
so we tried again in 1945 to
set up a
system that would try to
maintain global
peace and prevent war between
great
powers and great powers states
throughout the world that
system is
under stress intense stress
today that
system is under stress from
revolutionaries and terrorists
and
guerrillas it's under stress
from nation
states that don't like the
rules of the
road that were written and want
to
revise those rules of the road
that
system is under very intense
stress and
we're at seventy years now and
that
system has prevented great
power war
similar to what occurred in the
first
half of the last century
now before you continue with
your your
presentation I would like to
play a clip
that fits seamlessly with this
which is
why I'm happy you brought it
this is
arty with their current version
of what
Russia
this is them pushing back on
the nuke
treaty what they view as the
new world
order
today it is time for change
time for the
old ways to die time for a new
undisputed leader a new
American world
order our mission is to
reassert our
sovereignty reform the liberal
international order under
question that
we face it is the question of
whether
the system has currently
configured as
it exists today and as the
world is
today for all the people of the
world
the old ways out-of-date the
United
Nations is useless incompetent
the IMF
is obsolete European Union
pointless all
these international
organizations unions
treaties and agreements they
only hinder
America they tie its hands and
cripple
its power the logic is sound
wouldn't we
all be better off if we just
let America
rule America intends to lead
now and
always
the intermediate-range nuclear
forces
treaty Russia is violating it
says
America others aren't bound by
it it
hobbles limits limits the
United States
and Washington's policy
requires it
seems more nukes bigger nukes
faster nukes one country in the
world is
bound by the INF treaty us
China's not
bound by it Iran has an
extensive irbm
capability that but we have
global
responsibilities in Asia in the
Middle
East we have to be responsive
there to
international democracy has
failed
alliances have failed nations
cannot
tell right from wrong
everyone wants us say but why
let them
they no longer knew what's good
for them
America is good for them this
is what
President Trump is doing he is
returning
the United States to its
traditional
central leadership role in the
world and
so it seems we enter a new age
in a
where might makes right without
all the
fluff and lip service
partnerships and equality the
old world
order is dead welcome to a new
American
age I like those two back to
back well
what it shows is that there's a
misunderstanding because as the
as Milly
would say it was all part of the
post-world War two Bretton
Woods and
other agreements that we were
taking
this roll on and all we're
doing is just
reiterating that because it was
actually
I think somewhat weakened by
Obama sir
somewhat certainly weakened
we're
putting the jackboot to the
head is what
we're doing and so now we have
to Currie
have to go strengthen it again
because
again it's like the idea is to
keep from
having 100 million people
killed yeah
you know within a just a decade
or two
which was what happened what's
happened
that happened before is is the
nature of
Europe in general they want to
fight
each other and I've always
thought that
the that the EU experiment was
just
gonna enable that again well
anyway he
has a little bit of a finish on
this so
part two doesn't say as much
but it's
it's not a bad wrap similar to
what
occurred in the first half of
the last
century so the question is how
big an
Army do you want how big a Navy
do you
want well how much do you want
that
system how much do you value
that system
is that system worth preserving
or not
and therein you get to the size
and
scope of your armies navies Air
Forces
and Marines and right near
wrongly
fairly or unfairly the role of
the
arbiter of that system has
defaulted to
the United States for seven
decades
there are other countries 60 or
70 or
more so that have allied
themselves with
their militaries to us and they
make
significant contributions but
it is the
United States that's been the
leader
with that system so the status
of the
army as part of the military
force their
works to help maintain the
stability
of the world we're a global
militant
military were global army and
we've got
right now today about 180,000
soldiers
in the United States army
active duty
reserve and National Guard
deployed in
about a hundred and forty
countries
around the world yes we are
number one
[Music]
so it remains to be seen how
well this
guy will get along with Bolton
who seems
to be just some sort of a
troublemaker
hmm an even Trump who's always
bitching
about all these soldiers we have
stationed all over the base
although I
think he's softened this
position on
that yes it'll be this is gonna
be an
interesting situation would
this guy
take it being the head of the
Joint
Chiefs of Staff I don't know
what kind
of decisions he'll make we'll
see I've
no idea you know something
listening to
all this something just hit me
about the
true fallacy of the green new
deal
because it's that's kind of it
just hit
me here's the so they are
saying we're
going to make the world but
certainly
the United States completely
we're gonna
take you off oil so no more oil
and
we're gonna pay for that by
printing
money through the Federal
Reserve that's
what they said what's what she
says in
her green new deal the problem
is if you
get rid of all the oil the
dollar is no
longer needed
now this is a subversive the
whole green
New Deal and in fact the entire
global
warming propaganda that you
mentioned
was foisted on the children is
an
attempt to destroy the country
well if yes cuz if she actually
thinks
she can pay for this by
printing money
for money that is no longer
needed
because oil is no longer in
play do we
food get that hyperinflation
we're
looking for as we know it I've
always
thought she was subversive and
I mean
the whole social defect that
they proud
of the word socialist within
their uh
you know their moniker Democrats
socialists of America whatever
they call
themselves it's a it's just
it's a
subversive operation designed
to kill
the country reset to everything
and it's
actually you know you're at
your right
to reven reset the balance
everything
these these guys just said
would be gone
it will be gone we wouldn't
have we
wouldn't be important which i
think is
the plan
don't be important or as the
Alania lay
in portent important more
important
important important
yes schwarzenegger was out
there at the
because it was it poland now
where they
doing the the new climate
change thing
poland yeah his polls and look
berg and
polish some small town yeah he
was out
there talking yeah what does he
know he
knows a lot know that you want
to hear
what he said or do you want to
continue
with what you were doing no I'd
only
hear what he said every time
you talk
about America you're right when
you say
that our leadership in
Washington little
bit backwards but you're wrong
when you
say that America dropped out of
the
Paris agreement because if you
look a
little bit beyond Washington
you will
see that it is the states in
the cities
there's local governments that
control
70% of our emissions and you
would see
all the extraordinary work that
is going
on in a state and city level in
America
so the states in the cities are
still in
now in the Paris agreement our
financial
institutions are in our academic
institutions are still in the
governor's
and the mayor's are still in
the United
States is still in and be doing
extraordinary job there but
staying in
yes we have a meshuggener
leader leader
in Washington that is nothing
that is
out but remember that America
is more
than just washing no one leader
yeah
good old Michigan yeah I threw
a little
yes there for us well the best
quote he
had was during the Q&A and it's
a little
different audio it's a
different mic but
you'll hear you'll hear what he
if he
really if he really could do
what he
could do what he wanted to do
he'd do
this I wish
it could be the Terminator
and realize to be able to
travel back in
time
and fossil fuels when they were
discovered he's seriously
they'd all be
living in mud huts yeah he wish
he could
stop all fossil fuels before
they were
discovered mm-hmm yeah Wow
yeah
yep well what are you gonna do
carbon
higher than ever here's a PBS
report
I've been higher than ever yes
this
isn't kind of an agenda 2030
years there
is word that global carbon
emissions
have reached record new highs
in 2018
rising the most in seven years
an
international scientific group
the
global carbon project makes that
projection based on figures
from the US
China Europe and India the
findings
means some of the goals of the
2015
International Paris climate
Accord may
be nearly out of reach I'm not
gonna
make it
this is out of reach why the
reason you
know see what happens with die
well
maybe it improved things that
come has
never ever anything good comes
of
anything you know gene sir gene
I had
lunch with him and Dan Benjamin
on
Friday how are they interesting
little
lunch yeah and he had his
producer with
him dan did does all the
production for
his network there and and I
don't know I
kind of hung back on this
conversation
just listened but gene was
talking about
the dinosaurs or those two that
nursed
you know that time with times
they were
talking about some show or
something
with you know maybe it was a
Jurassic
Park 18 I don't know they're
talking
about but Jeanne said Jean
jeans already
set up jet jeans a reptile guy
he's got
the big snakes and everything
it was all
about reptiles he says actually
the
problem we have today is we
don't have
enough carbon dioxide he said
we don't
have enough we need in order to
have
more oxygen which could sustain
dinosaurs because their lungs
are so big
there's literally not enough
awk I'm
paraphrasing there's not enough
oxygen
components in the air that we
breathe to
keep the dinosaur alive that's
the
difference with back when the
dinosaurs
were around because the co2
levels were
incredibly high everything was
incredibly green and the earth
was a
great place except for the
dinosaurs so
his thesis is we need a lot
more of co2
if we add more co2 we to have
it be
greener yeah we'd have more
trees and
the trees give off what is that
stuff oh
yeah oxygen yeah yeah
this is not an unknown thesis
by the way
even presented before I say
gene for
climate czar is what I say
crank up the
co2 before we go to a break
just a quick
note about our model which is
the value
for value model we've always
seen the
way to run this type of media
experience
as something valuable try to do
a
bang-up job create an
outstanding
product and have people
participate in
the product as producers no
one's a
listener you jut you're a
producer by
contributing to the product
itself but
also by financing it and we
early on saw
or learned very quickly that
it's much
smarter to say what is it worth
to you
send us that amount and help
people
understand the differences in
or that
what value of time is or value
of
entertainment time spent what
kind of
laughs did you get or what did
you learn
and that's worked well for us
when this
model started to spread things
came
along that intermediated this
this
proposition where we have
pretty much
two ways three ways you can
contribute
financially to the show one is
through
paypal which you can do with a
credit
card or your paypal account the
other
one is through checks
what's the peel box again yeah
you said
I check the box three three
nine El
Cerrito California nine four
five three
oh you can rewind that if you
want to
hear it again
when people like doing that and
there's
any if you send a check
sometimes you
can send a little note or
something like
most of the checks do come
through the
banks though so people go to a
bank or a
credit union or one of the
online
payment systems and then they
sign up
there and then the check is
mail from
the bank a lot of credit unions
do this
or even sometimes pop money you
can get
money that way too and that
goes through
the post office Barbies live it
goes
through the post office box of
piles of
cheques in that little bit
envelope from
a bank or a pop money goes
straight into
the bank itself and that and
that comes
out of a credit union too
there's
there's ways of doing it and
I'm always
baffled by the fact that people
aren't
doing it that way and instead
are using
a third
party to do this I mean we used
PayPal
as a third party so you got
most you're
taking one removed from even
that it
doesn't really make a lot of
sense to me
yeah and this is what happened
with
patreon I think we said hey
great idea
love what you're doing love the
transparency aspect of it you
know we
have our own transparency we
everyone's
name and the amount that they
donated I
think that's pretty transparent
we
published that information but
patreon
was putting a piece in between
it as you
say and we from the beginning
said this
is not a good idea you also
can't
receive checks and it's just
another
place for you get cut off at
the knees
which appears to have happened
under the
control of MasterCard who is
their
payment processor and I'm
referring now
to the D platforming from
patreon of
Milo yep innopolis
and he was that there was more
than just
him I said David e-platform
about five
or six people I think already
did Alex
Jones oh yes now there's
several of them
but the reason and they had
they sent
him an email the reason he was
de
platformed because of his
association
with the proud boys
yeah so what and it doesn't
even specify
a so I think it even says your
association in the past with
proud boys
who you know I've been falsely
called
marginalized I don't even wear
I'm not
even too familiar with them
well this is
Gavin McGinnis this is the the
guy who
started it what is it telling
Vice
exactly and you know they were
very
quickly by the Southern Poverty
Law
Center who work with the FBI
deemed as
an extremist group although the
FBI you
know that's been reprinted it's
kind of
like you know 97% of scientists
agree
the proud boys are the
extremist group
the racist they're Nazis etc I
think
there's enough evidence to show
that
they're not but I do want to go
back
almost a year to show you what
this kind
of pressure
and I'll say pressure this also
comes on
the heel of peels of the god
I'm sorry
the the the Pope Tim Cook the
Pope of
Silicon Valley and make no
mistake he is
the Pope because you know you
when when
you've got your app your
patreon app and
that's how people use patreon
they use
the app when that's on your
iPhone and
the App Store you do not want
to get
into trouble with the Pope with
Pope
kook
so you have to do things you
have to
make sure it's obvious that
you're on
board so you don't get the
platform
that's what's happening because
here is
the CEO of patreon just seven
months ago
speaking with us on the Rubin
report
Dave Rubin about the creators
and this
is another thing that pisses me
off
what is this creators business
yes our
creators on the platform to eff
off with
your creators I mean that's
that's what
is it creator
yeah create it's a horrible
moniker
anyway
they had nothing to worry about
just
seven months ago look at all
because
there were a couple pretty
terrible
articles written about me that
talked
about patreon as well Mother
Jones wrote
a really awful libelous piece
about me
for further to the right than
Breitbart
marvelous and they by the way
in both
the cases mentioned patreon
yeah so
you're saying that stuff has
nothing to
do whether it gets across your
desk or
not has nothing to do with any
of that's
not in our content policy like
what one
particular paper says about a
person or
someone's opinion about a
person not in
our content policy you can't
scale a
system based on other people's
opinions
about people on your platform
that would
be ineffective and just bad
content
policy so no I don't care who
says what
about you or anyone else we
care what
you do right we care what the
behaviors
are that are or not against the
content
policy and by the way gosh one
thing I
feel like I just have to say it
I should
like send this bit like that
right here
right most create like creators
watching
us you just don't have to worry
about
this shit you just don't have
to worry
about it like people like you
and people
most people who are like
engaging and
healthy dialogue and talking
about tough
issues like this is just not
something
that concerns most creators and
it like
kills me a little bit that
there's this
fear you know one of the things
Harris said in the in in the
podcasts
where he talked about leaving
patreon
was like this is there's this
wave of
deep platforming and I just
kills me
that there's that fear there
and it
doesn't have to be there for
most
creators okay creators nothing
to be
afraid of creators gosh wait to
bring
Josh back it's so cute gosh oh
gosh
golly gosh golly gee oh gosh
yeah well
if you recall when patreon was
first
introduced to the scene we had
a lot of
people of our you know
producers on our
oh yeah you have our show
saying I don't
know why you're using PayPal I
don't
know
while you're doing this you
could use
paint you should use patron you
should
use patreon and you know even
though
people like Jen brainy who
knows how to
do all this without Peter she
even did
patreon as an additional and
you could
see it as you know doing it some
additional thing but patreon on
there
too but we were against it
because it it
was a I mean PayPal has deep
platform
people too and that's always a
risk but
but this is like a this is but
patrons
got a new could seem to have a
more
common sense about it it's
about them
making money yeah and it's not
about a
lot of other side and it's not
this the
kind of this middleman who
probably does
a lot of the business through
patreon -
so why we why would you use a
middleman
like this and then then you're
at their
Beckett and if we looked at the
Terms of
Service yeah and there was a
lot of
stuff in there that we didn't
like
there's nothing like that with
paypal
there's no Terms of Service
about what
we do there it no there is one
thing you
can't do
but you can't disparage PayPal
oh yes
PayPal does have a
non-disparagement
clause which is fairly recent
yeah but
you cannot say so we actually
don't
disparage PayPal but I don't
see any
reason to disparage them anyway
because
we've had nothing but good luck
with
them even though others have
some
complaints
let's beside the point patreon
is is
introduced as a system that
takes it it
just doesn't make any sense to
me I
would much rather encourage
people
sending checks yes yeah where
there's no
did you know the bank takes
their you
know a little transformation
fees but
patron does this and then they
have
control of your operation we
have with
the PayPal em MailChimp which
is another
operation as deep platform
people but we
have the mailing lists
we have iechyd every customers
ever paid
us through PayPal I have their
email and
their home address um and I can
get all
that information what do I get
from
patreon and the it's just I
never liked
the idea of this operation
no and and I don't see what it
does that
you can't do yourself and you
know
that's part of it it's just
laziness I
think this is lazy and here's
the other
thing let me give you this this
is one
of those I really like PayPal
if you've
noticed that anyone who gets the
newsletter will notice this we
have
these offers that change and I
change
the offers like constantly and
it's a
matter of a little not even
coding it's
PayPal does all this work to
create new
buttons and so I have like
probably four
pages of I think there's a
honey I think
we've added four hundred
different
offers over the years some of
them are
long gone and we don't use them
anymore
but they're still there and you
can keep
creating new ideas and oh let's
do a
special because we have show
1100 coming
up which would be our first
show of the
year 2019 will be show 1100 and
I can do
a special whole series of
special offers
and like patron doesn't give
you any of
that here's your goal here give
us some
money I mean it's like so
simplistic
thank you cannot leverage
anything with
patreon I really don't like this
way they set up it just doesn't
make any
sense if you're it all in the
marketing
in the least it's just like you
why
don't you just throw away half
your
income because that's what
you're doing
when you're using an operation
exactly
right it's exactly right and
again I'm
going to say that this deep
platforming
ever since Pope Colin's Pope
Cooke came
out and said it's us we're
making
technology only useful for good
that was
the moment and of course they
were also
the first ones to deep platform
Alex
Jones everybody went after that
is
because they hold immense power
with
their app store it is because
all the
journals have iPhones aid all
the elites
have iPhones and you do not
want to be
deep platform so if you're
promoting a
guy who is associated with the
proud
boys and you've already been to
platform
from someplace once and you're
on
patreon this guy's thinking
holy crap we
got to get him and anybody else
off
because otherwise the Pope will
take us
off the App Store it's a
cavalcade
cascade of deep platforming and
go so
you think that Patriot is
shaking in a
zoo yes of course they are
their app is
incredibly important to their
business
they need to that people use
patreon I
think through their app I'm
pretty sure
you're probably right and you'd
they
can't have that association
really never
understood what people wanted
us to use
it but I think it's because
there's a
certain kind of a well I'm on
patron let
me click click I'll give these
guys $5
and these guys $2 $1 5 $4 to
them in
fact we we make donating hard
what's our donation URL is it
donate to
no agenda show com is it no
agenda show
/ donate now its Dvorak org /
na it's
the stupidest marketing move
we've ever
made but once you be able to
jingle you
have a jingle for an org slash
hey now
before I go into the break I
did want to
read this quick note from
Miranda
um regarding uh Tim Cook Pop
cook I have
two degrees in English and
writing I
just wanted to comment on the
deus ex
machina explanation by Tim Cook
and this
was his you know the the machine
we built the machine and we are
the God
in the machine we all of us
Silicon
Valley we are the gods I am the
Pope of
Hellfire we're gonna get a
literary yes
very much more accurate deus ex
machina
to clarify the machines
functioned to
bring the gods as characters to
the
stage at the end of the play to
rescue
the protagonist of the play
however
what's interesting to me and
what Pope
Cook did not mention is the
impossible
situation the protagonist was
being
rescued from was usually the
violent
undoing or murder of all the
supporting
characters it's called the
platforming
now one of the most famous
examples in
Medea being rescued by Jason's
chariot
after she slaughters all of her
children
I thought it was interesting and
possibly ironic that he was
framing his
analogy in a banal benevolent
light when
the tradition usually revolves
around
horrific acts and total
destruction in
the world in which the play
takes place
so will Apple be ultimately
resolved
from their sins think about it
Thank You Miranda imagine all
the people
who could do this oh yeah

no
agenda show it is highly
appreciated
and we're back we are back yes
a couple
of other side things they got
the Kevin
Hart just story which i think
is funny
it's funny in a very sad way
but now
this is his tweets from 2009
yeah where
he was a lot of them like I
have a bunch
of I and my question is were
they funny
in 2009 they might have been I
don't
know if the word fag was funny
back then
or though or his his role in
the comedic
realm made it okay for him I'm
sure is
in context he was perfectly
fine back
then dude I don't know if it
was I I do
have the story of being bounced
and I do
have a part of his gay bashing
stand-up
routine yes which one first
which is
kind of what his tweets were
like it was
pretty this data per team seems
pretty
mild I think Eddie Murphy had
more gay
bashing material yeah in this
guy but
let's play that play the
background so
we get this and this a little
what he
call it the real news segment
Kevin Hart
and the host of this year's
Oscars Kevin
Hart has stepped down following
public
outcry over his past homophobic
tweets
most were posted from 2009 to
2011 and
some were deleted last night
the actor
and comedian tweeted that he
didn't want
to be a distraction and he
apologized
for quote insensitive words
from my past
and now back to real famous
artists so
most of it would be I think
most of his
gate tweets or anti-gay tweets
were just
Gabe I don't know what the
column
they're just snide comments but
there's
pretty much based on this
little segment
from one of his stand-up
routines which
has been reposted on most of
the stories
about this I got a lot of fears
Ben I
got a lot of fears as a parent
let me
tell you guys one of my biggest
fears
one of my biggest fears is my
son
growing up and being gay that's
a fear
keep in mind I'm not homophobic
I have
nothing against gay people be
happy do
what you want to do but me
being a
heterosexual male if I can
prevent my
son from being gay I will now
with that
being said I don't know if I
handle my
son's first gay moment
correctly like
every kid has a gay moment okay
every
kid but when it happened you
got to nip
it in the bud you got to stop
it right
there
I don't know I don't know if I
handle my
son's situation right okay he's
at a
birthday party right my son had
a
birthday party he's playing you
know
when kids play they just play
you don't
know what he's doing but they
having a
good time this is doing a bunch
of stuff
right moving around I said okay
he's
good I finished talking I
turned back
around to check on my son again
a little
boy was grinding on my son
feels like
this I didn't know what to do I
panicked
I knocked them both
what's going on here what kind
of party
is this huh what kind of party
is this
what's going on here this lady
came out
she's like what are you doing
there kids
let them play
I said well you showed me
another kid
getting fucked in ass can I
calm down my
son had on corduroys that's why
I have
attitude let me see it I heard
it all I
heard was
the whole is playing cards what
is that
shuffling cards
nothing stays here the thing to
piss me
off here's a piss me off man I
was
eating a buffalo wing when it
happened I
should have chopped the wing
and ran
over there but I lick my
fingers first
the black enemy came out okay
now
contrast that just stay in that
moment
not even ten years ago
contrast that with this piece
about
Joanna
Olson she is from the division
of
Adolescent Medicine at
Children's
Hospital Los Angeles and she
does
research on transgender youth
and you
will understand why Kevin Hart
is not
hosting the Oscars the research
that I
do in addition to the clinical
work that
I do is really involved with
understanding what these young
people
experience what is their
experience as a
young person who doesn't feel
like they
were born in the body that
matches their
internal sense of their gender
you know
there's astounding rates of
suicide
attempts among trans youth so
about 50%
of trans youth have attempted
suicide by
the time their age 20 so this
is a
serious public health
implication so for
those young kids who are
starting
puberty and have strong gender
identities that don't match
their bodies
those young people can really
benefit
from not ever going through the
wrong
puberty the first time in older
kids or
adults who have already gone
through
their endogenous puberty those
young
people have to go through a
second
puberty well we don't even like
going
through one puberty frankly
nobody
really likes it the first time
so it's
very hard for them it's much
easier if
we can halt their puberty early
on in
the process and let them have be
suspended for a little bit and
then put
them through the right puberty
that
corresponds to the right this
is what we
do over in our program if we
get kids
early enough in the process we
put them
on puberty blockers or medic
nations that actually keep
their body
from progressing through that
wrong
puberty they come in older they
may be
appropriate patients to go on to
hormones that will allow them
to either
feminized or masculinize their
body
which gives them a body that's
much
closer to their internal gender
identity
and so I'm really hoping that
people
understand there's lives in the
medical
world it is acetates for some
people
medical intervention and that's
really
important and it has to stop
being a
political and religious issue a
mental
health issue the mental health
piece of
it comes from the way that the
outside
world responds to these young
people and
adults as well but because with
young
people that's who I understand
and I
understand the experiences and
the
trauma that they undergo
because they
don't have an aligned gender
identity
and the rest of their body so
without
judging my gift without judging
either
one I just want to show the
contrast
between ten years ago Kevin
Hart making
making that's a that's a skit
it's a
it's a written bit stick stick
nourished
and sweet and tweeting about
that at the
same time and then was clearly
okay it
was okay from Kevin at the time
it was
okay with Twitter at the time
and now
you see what is happening oh by
the way
it's nothing the mental issues
is only
comes after the fact to doctors
seriously telling us that's a
good idea
to administer drugs to delay
puberty so
the child can go through the
right
puberty and not the wrong
puberty this
is that was that that clip
almost made
me ill I'll give you a clip of
the day
by the way I'll take it i think
it's
deserved because it's an insane
[Music]
child abuse is what I would say
and I
would say it's child abuse and
it which
also contradicts the idea that
we're all
kind of the same it doesn't
make any of
your man or a woman we're all
equal
equal equal so egalitarians
would say
what difference does it make
what was
just what's the point of
stopping the
natural process and just
letting that go
through because of these at the
end of
the day we're pretty much all
the same
and we just you know live with
their
personality quirks that's what
we're so
that's what we're told yeah
that's
that's what we're supposed to
believe
yes yeah well that's just kind
of a
change now it's just an attempt
to say
it's just more Dee balling
above the
male
dan you know Amsterdam is
seriously
considering canceling the gay
Canal
Pride Parade
why yeah the Gay Pride Canal
Parade
which is a big deal yeah well
yeah well
you know remember these are the
people
who remove the I Amsterdam sign
well you know it's getting a
little out
of hand you know it's it's a
little too
much for the city I think it's
the gays
I think that the there's
something about
the particularly white gay
males that
are no longer fitting in the
LGBTQIA apk
equation I think they're
starting to be
shunned yeah yeah you find this
out
before it was like a kind of a
subtext
of the gay non community yes
the the the
the actual the the OG gays the
original
gays the gay guys cuz you know
women
gays were called lesbians they
I don't
know them whatever you're
called doesn't
matter I'm just saying they're
being
singled out they're getting in
trouble
taking away that party
student two things I want to
get out of
the way because it's important
one is
the huawei arrest yes thank you
let's do
that right now cuz I knew you
were gonna
be on it because you promised
that in
the newsletter and you actually
were
which is fantastic tell me all
about it
damas morning I deliver usually
but I've
not focused on it display this
clip a
Chinese telecommunications
executive is
facing multiple fraud charges
in the
United States for allegedly
violating US
sanctions against Iran huawei's
chief
financial officer mum 1jo was
arrested
on Saturday in Canada at the
request of
the US today she appeared in a
Vancouver
Court for her bail hearing her
arrest
sparked fears of an escalation
in a
trade war between the US and
China
Huawei is the world's largest
supplier
of phone and Internet
technology US
intelligence agencies have
accused the
company of spying for China
okay I
believe this was done by the
deep state
and against Trump's wishes yeah
you know
it's interesting you say that
that's
exactly the first thing I
thought is
this is to muck up whatever
Trump is
trying to do with it with China
yeah
and this is the daughter of the
of the
founder of the company I mean
there's
all kinds of dimensions to it
and that
now you start hearing from the
mainstream media oh she can get
life in
prison she's not gonna get day
in prison
she's gonna get they were there
they may
find the company but this is
just an
attempt to embarrass the
administration
I'm cannot agree with you I
totally
agree I think that's exactly
what
happened it has to do with her
involvement in an operation in
2009 I
believe she's not even involved
with any
but this is this is something
of a scam
we'll see I mean nobody likes
Huawei so
let's start with that premise
so there's
that element
nobody likes Huawei they are
considered
dirty players that in the
telecom
business their whole idea is
and I've
been told this by people who
have worked
there I got the same story in
Brazil
from somebody who worked there
I got the
story in Europe from somebody
who worked
I got the story here here's the
way they
do it they got a couple of guys
spying
and on Ericsson right Ericsson
goes into
a company company Z and makes
an offer
about some big telecom deal and
then
they leave boom the wall way
people go
in and they say what did
Ericsson what
was there what was their price
will will
cut it in half
what do they would offer I will
do hat
with their half we'll do it for
half the
price and that's their whole
business
business model which is
following around
Erikson salesman right so they
and
there's some belief that then
maybe they
have some back doors but yeah I
don't
actually do I actually don't
believe
that I think people just for
the fact
that their business model is so
sleazy
well that isn't that kind of
what China
does just in general I think so
yeah
yeah but these guys are these
guys are
really good at it I I ran into
them once
at a trade show way when they
were wal
half away they were it's bright
at the
beginning and they were creepy
it was a
creepy operation there's always
secretive they wouldn't talk do
you know
is they didn't like talking to
the news
media it's like they were doing
something wrong so they're they
have a
guilty conscience but they pair
annihilation
when I upgrade that's me that's
what all
all the Europeans are buying
Huawei
phones that they're really
moving away
from the iPhone at least just
in the
general population the popular
popular
kind of thing that's going on
yeah well
it's a nice phone especially
they got
some nice colors of the cases
is a
really pretty phones very
metallic it's
a modern-looking that has all
this
pretty close to the Google a
model for
the Android it doesn't have all
the
extra features that kind of
muck it up
the way Samsung does it mm-hmm
so I know
just thinking about it
that's the wall wasters I don't
know
where this is going but I will
follow it
okay excellent
also another story that got my
attention
is the Don Hewitt is now a
creep CBS
story that was presented to us
by NBC
CBS today as far as I know did
not play
this story sexual misconduct
and secrecy
at CBS News this time involving
a late
Don Hewitt the man behind 60
minutes
NBC's Anne Thompson has the
details
Don Hewitt created 60 minutes
good
evening over 36 years building
a legacy
of journalistic excellence
ratings
dominance and now allegedly
sexual
harassment the new york times
reporting
in the 90s CBS settled with a
female
employee who claims hewitt
sexually
assaulted her several times and
ruined
her career this according to a
draft
investigative report looking
into CBS's
culture the original settlement
reports
the paper was for $450,000 it's
been
amended six times and now
exceeds five
million plus $75,000 a year
Hewitt died
in 2009
why is CBS still paying this
money
clearly CBS still wants to keep
this
woman quiet and the payments
that
they've agreed to stretch until
the end
of her life CBS had no response
Gators reportedly say the
misconduct of
Hewitt's successor Jeff Fager
was less
severe figure was fired after
sending a
threatening text message to a
CBS news
reporter covering allegations
against
him according to The Times
investigators
say the firing was justified
bigger said
he was only demanding
in coverage and regrets how he
did it
still unknown who will be the
next
leader of CBS's legendary
broadcast Ann
Thompson NBC News New York
wow what a hit piece and what a
great
showing what a story gets paid
until the
rest of her life it's like the
lotto
who cares ruin mine please
that's great
what I wonder what happened
that's 450
what happened and I wonder who
this is
and now the way they presented
yeah we
can cuz this really wasn't your
life it
wasn't Hewitt didn't he kill the
anti-tobacco story on 60
minutes wasn't
that him I think it may have
been him
yeah what the heck did he and
why is
this coming out now what is the
point to
do an NBC hit people right now
sure now
but they don't care about the
victim who
was you know been carefully
kept quiet
and she's gotten her her do for
sure for
her career being ruined she has
a income
for the rest of her life that
mean I
don't know what happened I'm
just going
on the facts sounds like okay
and then
why why why are we gonna do
this just to
make CBS look like crap because
they
don't have a Moonves is gonna
move in
kicking CBS when they're down
well
that's you might as well what
am I
saying
way to go perfect
oh yes it's so great knowing
that
neither of us will ever be
pulled into
one of those scandals that much
of now
we have yeah no not
lightweights but now
say the least by that
comparison oh boy
