John

some real

retrospectives look
back they bring in the B guests
that's
the worst
yeah they do might be Michael

ruining the
country and the world time to
look back
at it back take a little look
at what's
been happening in our in our
little
media world and in the morning
to the
troll room people showing up
those young
but two and two together about
that no
people showing up today for the
for the
live stream that's always nice
to see
that's good well today I'll
just kick it
off today he is kind of
partially
somewhat Election Day recording
of a
report ah well let's kick it
off with
yours and then I'll jump into
my beat in
the Democratic Republic of Congo
political unrest is growing
ahead of
Sunday's planned presidential
election
on Wednesday the Election
Commission
said voting in three cities
would be
postponed until March due to
the threats
of the Ebola virus spreading
and ongoing
violence in those areas
protesters took
to the streets in response to
the news
with many saying their votes
may not be
counted if election results are
announced as planned in
President Joseph Kabila was due
to step
down in 2016 but elections have
been
repeatedly postponed this comes
as the
government ordered the European
Union
ambassador to the DRC to leave
after the
EU extended sanctions against a
group of
officials including Emmanuel
rama's Ani
Chaudhary the ruling party's
presidential candidate for
their violent
response to protests and for
repeatedly
delaying elections the DRC is
experienced in one of the
deadliest
outbreaks of Ebola with health
officials
reporting over 350 people dead
and again
they're missing all of it we're
expecting better well yes if
you go to a
local African Reporter
which is what I did because
there are
some interesting things we've
got a name
we've got some other details
I'll start
off with as I said this is a
yeah but
did you get to see this
Chaudhary guy
with that crazy goatee yeah but
he's not
interesting a different guy is
interesting it's President on
Wednesday
made the announcement that
elections
will be postponed
in these three localities we
are talking
about a Benny tempo and young
beat now
we know that Benny is where all
the
cobalt is mined we're also
sadly in
coincidentally all the Ebola is
located
let's not forget that these
three
localities are considered
stronghold for
the opposition and of course is
like mid
mention that fears of more Ebola
outbreak and his security on
the Pinta
this decision and I want to say
that
this decision has been hugely
criticized
by a couple of a presence I
want to
begin with the opposition
stronghold
Martin fire Lou who are via a
Twitter
and I would like to borrow his
words it
is bernabéu tempo as well as
you'll be
an integral part of the TRC and
so which
is one and indivisible and the
to that
effect the opposition leader
has called
for a death day or OS :
furniture will
mod today D 28th of December
out there
in the GRC so Martin for you
know a
second mmm-hmm I don't
understand this
if this strong hole is all the
opposition why is it Amy
Goodman and her
communists well it's you
actually would
have a good time if she did
three
seconds of research Martin
feiyu Lou who
has been picked as the as the
opposition
then again it's the opposite of
strongholds where the voting
has been
postponed she did point out
that they're
gonna announce the winners in
January
spike T voting in March gives a
crap is
it totally nobody cares nobody
cares
what they're doing if he what's
his name
here
if I you Lu are you ready for
this we
there's a couple things they
have in in
the Democratic Republic of
Congo they
have a diamonds gold cobalt
which we'll
get to in a moment very
important Cobalt
I think the two thirds of the
world's
cobalt which you need for your
technology gadgets and really
anything
battery related well this guy
used to
work for Exxon Exxon Mobil tooth
educated in America
he's a total oil guy they just
brought
in an Exxon guy and he is the
one that's
running listen to a an AFP
report
outgoing president Joseph
Kabila casts
his vote in the election to
choose
creating the prospect of the
first-ever
democratic transfer of power in
the
former Belgian colony of the
candidates
to succeed him kapila's own
choice the
country's former interior
minister is
said to be trailing in opinion
polls
behind former Exxon Mobil
manager Martin
say you knew the opposition
accuses the
government of failing to
distribute the
fruits of economic growth
across the 85
million population it also fears
possible vote rigging three
opposition
dominated regions have already
been
barred from the poll officially
because
of concerns over ethnic
violence and the
spread of the Ebola forum
results are
not expected until January the
15th I
never heard the pronunciation
Ebola
that's new rule is that yeah
it's yeah
for you Lew is the guy 62 he
actually
was arrested several times
during
opposition demonstrations in
Kinshasa he
would say he was shot in the
head with a
rubber bullet at one point this
guy is
pretty tough but he's a
big-time oil
executive he actually I think
he owns a
couple of hotels and he's one
of these
it leaders too has probably
been hanging
around for a while and now it's
his turn
to go in and take over since
this kind
of sham government has been in
power for
seven
teen years and I'm pretty sure
that
cobalt is really the main issue
although
he's the oil guy if you know
though
minerals I'm sorry little guys
no me no
minerals yeah that's true just
today in
Kinshasa the Democratic
Republic of
Congo has declared declared
cobalt a
strategic substance and they
are now
upping a tripling the royalty
rate
miners pay of cobalt to 10
percent hmm
so the 10 percent royalty rate
also
applies to coltan which you
would know
better not the thing that's in
trend
they use that in transistors
maybe chips
coltan never I don't know what
that is
it's probably probably the
minerals
something else is extracted
from my head
to line it up them and so if
you start
looking a little bitter with
what's
happening in this area of the
Democratic
Republic of Congo it's it's
pretty it's
pretty disgusting how this I
mean these
miners you know don't think
that these
guys have a hat on with a light
and
they're going down in an
elevator and a
tunnel now they're sitting on
railroad
ties being lowered on ropes
there's kids
you know groveling through
whatever's
brought up to try and separate
the
cobalt and everybody knows that
this is
going on I mean you would kind
of
presume that Apple would have
looked at
it but they've come look at it
but I found a report that just
a short
report that explains to us why
we're no
longer hearing about children
working in
the mines in the cobalt mines
for your
cell phone and you know unsafe
working
conditions and it's all in the
words of
course companies around the
world are
trying to clean up the way they
source
cobalt a key ingredient in
batteries for
smart phones left
and electric cars but
conditions remain
hazardous in the Democratic
Republic of
Congo which is where about
two-thirds of
the world's cobalt is mine we
traveled
to cozy the cobalt boom town of
Congo
these guys are climbing into
these holes
straddling railroad ties and
hauling up
tons of cobalt with makeshift
rope and
no proffer of safety equipment
or
support whatsoever in January
2016 a
human rights report alerted the
world to
how cobalt is often dug up by
hand under
unsafe sometimes deadly
conditions by
subsistence miners including
children
pressure began mounting on the
businesses that use the metal
in their
products since even suppliers
at mine
cobalt industrially often buy
or from
so-called artisanal miners also
known by
the French word cuza
I didn't have time to go look
at Apple's
annual reports but I'll bet you
somewhere they'll sit because
it sounds
great yeah we at Apple we are
very
concerned about the health and
safety of
the people who work with us our
partners
and that's why we source our
cobalt only
from artisanal miners without
laughing
Wow right just the idea of
blood cobalt
yes so they get to us that near
Blood
Diamond thing around Oh Mon Mon
Mon Ami
can it miss the boat on the
whole report
now you think if cobalt goes up
by 10
percent or yet it is up ten
percent
so it's tripled okay the cost
of mining
cobalt they say that they cost
it there
the tax of the government was
tripled
that means yes reefs 3 percent
it went
to 10 no no it tripled to 10
percent yes
well what is how do you triple
to 10
percent if you don't have a
base of
around 3 points maybe it's 3
percent yes
way said yes so they tripled it
to 10
percent we're saying the same
thing ok
good so
if the if the basic cost of
cobalt goes
up and that price has got to
get passed
along will our phones get more
expensive
three cars and what probably is
just
gonna add 10% to the you know
to the
gonna go no that's a hundred
bucks
have been not because of the
cold balls
yeah gonna get more expensive
cuz you're
getting ripped off exactly
strategic
artisanal cobalt everybody look
for it
in an iPhone near you
I'd love to see the videos of
those kids
digging away what's in the show
notes
they just they'd have it it's
no secret
just called artisanal and
everything's
okay yeah small batch yes small
batch
cobalt beautiful
all right like you know where
there's a
first depressing story to end
the year
right it's we're not looking
back no
retrospective we're showing you
the
future so my wife is bitching
and
moaning and groaning about this
about
the damage of the 9/11 lines
all over
the country yes watch yes I have
something this short clip it up
ah
now I know it just why does one
company
should say why does one company
have
such control of all the 911
outlets
around everywhere a Century
Link by the
way so just play the
CenturyLink Clipper
we get a little background
telecom giant
CenturyLink said today it's
still trying
to restore internet and 9-1-1
emergency
services in several states
across the
country
the outage began early Thursday
affecting millions of customers
from
coast-to-coast louisiana-based
CenturyLink says the outage was
not
caused by hacking the FCC is
looking
into this oh well I'm glad you
set that
up with that clip it's a
perfect setup
because I have a little more
detailed
story and I have a CenturyLink
spokes
hole unless you wanted to say
unless you
wanted to say something about
this no
I'll say some and we're all
done for the
second day in a row potentially
millions
of Americans dialing 911 this an
extensive outage at
telecommunications
companies CenturyLink not some
emergency
call centers offline for
certain callers
around the country highlighted
in this
map from the website down
detector in a
series of tweets beginning late
thirst
by the way I love that the news
is using
such artisanal tools as down
detector
get a reading on the health of
the nine
of 911 work it's it's sad
engineers that
quote identified a network
element and
that the problem would be
restored
within four hours but today
more than 14
hours later the company reported
technicians were still working
to
restore services announcing a
fix an
hour later the head of the FCC
announced
an investigation calling the
outage
completely unacceptable its
breadth and
duration particularly troubling
Centrelink has not provided
details on
what caused the disruption and
it's unclear if the outage
prevented
anyone from receiving emergency
assistance if I rush this basha
14 are
boarders many of the affected
emergency
response agencies suggested
people call
their local police departments
ten digit
phone number if they need help
with its
9-1-1 system out Boston Fire
tweeted a
picture of its old Street fire
boxes
operational since 1852 in the
case of an
actual emergency yes those
things
apparently still work that's
the old
days
yeah and works now so did you
find out
anything about why CenturyLink
has the
monopoly nobody's talking about
it seem
but I looked at the map it's
all over
the countries and big blotches
all over
the place nobody I know what
this is
this is it this is an example of
micro-services architecture I
don't even
know if it's some code broke
yeah that's
all it takes with MSA to ruin
everything
they apparently sold as lose
you could
do this you can just use this
plug this
into your system and everything
will
work fine you're gonna trust
the calls
it does all these things and a
piece of
code didn't work for something
months
some weird happen who knows him
as a
million things you haven't
happens to
you all the time and artisinal
code
artisinal code this is the
problem with
MSA this is this is this is the
doomsday
problem with micro services
architecture
yeah this is professor Ted's
territory
now if you would if you were
the spokes
hole for CenturyLink and you
had said
that and said well micro
services
architecture you know we have to
reevaluate there's some things
you know
what nobody fact I even think
half our
audience doesn't know what I'm
talking
about when I'm talking about
micro-services architectures
and why
don't you speak to the other
half of the
audience
the normal people as you
journalists
well I just think they don't
give a crap
or they what it was never
presented to
him that would be the problem
well no
you're not gonna tell anybody
about
microservices architecture
because it's
a well-kept secret that
everything runs
using this technology or
architecture
which is that you and you can
start a
company up right now anyone can
and find
pieces of micro-services
architecture
with in other words little
things
somebody will take your credit
card
somebody will put you to create
a
database of names and addresses
somebody
who do a mailing list in some
ways my
using of MailChimp is
microservices
architecture I think in this
case you
may not be right I think this
is this
was a network issue is
networking and
they run some kind of network
and if
they say let me defend myself
okay
micro-services architecture
also depends
on quality network of quality
network
connections microservices
architecture
goes down not because of code
but
because there's a break in some
in some
network link and the next thing
you know
nobody in the country can do a
credit
card process right right right
right
okay but this was this is that
this is
the end of civilization as we
know it
I'm sorry yeah I'm gonna you're
wrong
that is not what this is I have
the
answer from the spokesperson of
Century
Link from the horse's mouth so
to speak
you're wrong you do you're
wrong you're
wrong you're wrong here is what
actually
happened we are not concerned
about the
reliability of the system this
was a
technical glitch that we
identified in
advance but now we will be able
to put
in systems to make sure we can
in the
future I got 99 glitches
and put a GoSee on there will
ya I
really despise this
to stay and this was for
journalists
this was a press conference
statement a
glitch everybody and you know
what all
the press did would you look at
the time
I'll find my story sounds good
now it's
about something that could
actually hurt
somebody it's not acceptable
it's not
acceptable report reporting
it's not
acceptable I mean do you still
the old
Adam curry pet peeve of the day
clip
glitch my ass people it's so
unacceptable
it was the point is that that
people
should look into this it is I
didn't
even know about it until maybe
four or
five years ago when I was
explaining the
whole thing by the guys that
one of the
the said patchy competitor I
can't the
other names Ning uh engine
acting and
jet engine yes yeah engine X
they have
they rely on it they use it I
mean
everybody's doing this show
relies on
the drill so much cheaper we
rely on it
to some degree we have some
reliability
on micro-services architecture
we do we
use buckets from Amazon yeah so
that's
part of it
you can't get around it because
you
could do it all in-house yeah
but you
would be burdened and it would
cost
Internet
interplan an interplanetary
file systems
the future ipfs I use it I did
my feed
and people had worked people
got the
lumidee how many dozens of
people got to
feed that way Oh mate probably
just
about that the ones who
subscribe to it
yeah it's hey it worked I just
put it on
my laptop and people were able
to
download it and I had my laptop
disconnected it was fantastic
anyway
that digressing if this this
needs to
stop this is now it's important
I would
really like to know what's
wrong I'm
sure there's some networking
dudes named
Ben out there who were also
interested
networking news they've been
and I'm
sure if you look at that map of
all
these outages all over the
place I'll
betcha there's a single point
of failure
that's the problem with all
micro
services architecture there's a
single
point of failure where some one
thing
it's one little connection some
word
crapped out there's some guy on
a
bicycle you know using the bike
lane and
roll over a cable that was
exposed and
busted it yeah something like
that yeah
the area
anyway yeah all right everybody
get
everyone we got everyone
straightened
out on that I'm glad you did it
was just
a glitch I don't care when micro
services services it was a
glitch
everybody just so he no glitch
I was
watching the news thing because
it was a
commentary I made on the last
show about
you know it's too early to deal
with the
2020 presidential election not
the case
with NBC my goodness it's I
don't think
it's a smart move
but that's up to them I think
people
give us the foundation for what
we can
look forward to complaining
about you
might play the 20/20 prelims
this is a
Halle Jackson red dress
Russian believable
she's a substitute oh she's up
normally
the White House correspondent
of a she's
got a little thin got kind of a
thin
gaunt face you don't know that
she's
actually a big woman mmm oh so
she's a
big woman and they put her on
the and I
don't mean any offense there's
a lot of
big women but they put her in an
unflattering dress put her in a
red
dress make her stand up thank
you not
too early to talk about 2020
many
potential Democratic candidates
spent
this holiday huddling with their
families about a possible
presidential
run and in some cases even
starting to
look for staffers NBC's Kelly
O'Donnell
explains tis the season for
Democrats to
decide over the holiday I will
make that
decision on my family during the
holidays I'm going to sit down
and
ringing in the 2020 race the
new year
will usher in what is likely to
be a
gigantic field of Democratic
challengers
competing for staff resources
and voters
attention I'm going to reflect
on
whether this is something that
I should
do but all that thinking turns
into
action as early as January some
forming
exploratory committees formal
announcements likely within a
few months
the nomination is up for grabs
from the
most recognizable and
experienced like
Joe Biden it's all about Donald
or
Bernie Sanders wondering if he
can
capture lightning again based
on my past
by the way that was a very odd
clip they
threw in there of Joe Biden why
would
they do that
I mean if Joe Biden is one of
your guys
why would you make him sound
like he's
only focused on Trump is that
is that
truly what the Democratic voter
wants I
found this whole package which
I believe
Holly produced because she
voiced
Theotis I'll wear the dress but
I have
to produce the piece and she
had a lot
of good stuff in this shit the
continuation or we're saying
I'm gonna
go over the holidays I'm bright
or with
my family I'm talking about my
family
that she had a lot of good
they're
consistent there's a very well
produced
package did seem not too light
like Joe
Biden
yeah yeah it's probably slant
well
notice that the package and
everything
on embassies terrible let me
finish it
up and I want to hear the rest
of it for
grabs
from the most recognized stop
stop says
you can finish do you get
efficient up
go all the way if you if you
look at it
from the perspective of a
propaganda
piece I think the way it ends
kind of
gives us a little indication of
what
we're gonna be witnessing in
okay okay
good and experienced like Joe
Biden it's
all about Donald it's not about
anything
else or Bernie Sanders
wondering if he
can capture lightning again
based on my
past based on my ideas that in
fact I am
the candidate that can't defeat
trouble
or will Democrats make a
generational
shift a USA Today Suffolk
University
poll finds 59% of Democrats and
independents surveyed say they
would be
excited about someone entirely
new at
least six senators could run
for the
first time vision you have to
decide
that you would be a good
president that
you could bring the country
together
that you would be able to beat
Donald
Trump a November Senate defeat
has not
dampened buzz around better
O'Rourke
rule anything else and just
former Obama
cabinet secretary Julian Castro
has a
date picked on January 12th I'm
gonna
make an announcement about my
plans of
course it's early and the path
unpredictable but the process
is getting
underway with many of these
potential
candidates trying to position
themselves
in what will be a costly and
competitive
quest for the nomination
Democrats also
have to decide among three
cities where
they will hold their nominating
convention and it will go fast
Iowa
Democrats will be meeting to
caucus in
just about 400 days Kalli
almost here
Kelly O'Donnell in Washington
Kelly
thank you
so you think better I was right
where
that was Kelly O'Donnell not a
holiday
report okay
so Beto Beto huh you know
that's it's
coincidental the keeper and I
were out
yesterday you know looking for
a place
to move to in april/may
timeframe and so
we know we also went to some
open houses
of places we can't afford but
everywhere
you go South Austin its South
Austin
particular the better signs are
still up
one of our fit a James I think
Fitzpatrick I believe is last
name one
of your Texas producers sent me
a Beto
sign from one of the big ones
the out
with the big the really big
with their
they're cool and that really
really babe
it was big ya know but everyone
has
their buds their their their
their yard
signs still up the yard signs
are
everywhere yeah that's very
interesting
I'm reminded of Pia Zadora when
the rain
begins to fall yes PSO Dora
let's talk
about right I interviewed her
did you
know yes you tell me what you
think well
well all I know is that she
would a rich
husband well I let me like he
has a rich
wife who promoted a hit because
her
dream was to be a superstar yes
so he
just spent a lot of money on
her getting
her let me tell you what let me
tell you
exactly what he did I think
he's dead
now I think he's long gone but
Pia
Zadora had had manipulated her
her guys
money hmm
and I want to say that they
seemed very
much in love so I don't it's
fine by me
to make this song it was from
they
produced a movie and a
soundtrack and as
she did the soundtrack with
Jermaine
Jackson which is like you know
you got a
lot of money we didn't quite
have
Michael Jackson money so we got
Jermaine
Jackson and this and when the
rain
begins to fall from now I'm
doing this
from the top top had something
about the
something in the alien now I
got a no
Pia Zadora movie with it
something
there's something in the alien
I'm gonna
go watch it now I know you
don't but was
it the voyage of the ROC aliens
so it
was something like that man she
did a
lot of movies I mean her
husband paid
for a lot of movies yeah voyage
of the
ROC aliens I believe it was she
was kind
of a cutie yeah boy did you
think you
met her and talked to her I
didn't even
know no now she's all right she
was very
tiny very right tiny it was but
yes your
point is well made because
betos wife is heiress to a
large fortune
and her her daddy alien her
daddy-o's
probably still has some
influence but I
was thinking about it and while
he seems
kind of good on paper
you know white Obama let's just
call him
that he has just what I like it
Wow
white robe but we couldn't call
him whoa
Bhama if you want to sure I
think we
have a winner
Obama he reminds you of I mean
how many
reports have we not heard it
why very
reminiscent of Obama okay
Obama's style Obama yes he
doesn't smile
and if you steal it or furs
just yeah
there's lots of studies in
steel bomber
was influential pressure on
young people
like Obama that little black
like little
better and I can I see that
people dig
that part but is he's much
younger than
Obama was I think he's 10 years
younger
than Obama was when he when he
ran and I
don't think so and did you just
look at
the guy in like did you can see
him
running you can see him
debating do you
really see and running the
country
I don't think any American sees
that can
be like yeah he's just not you
know it
doesn't have enough JFK was the
same way
dude that's the same way man
yeah man
okay was like a young guy they
didn't
like kazoos good look I think
if you
were old enough if you were old
enough
to vote for JFK then you can
vote for
Obama you can do whatever you
want
mmm I just I don't know
even it would be great for the
show well
it's gonna be on this is gonna
happen I
mean they're gonna run him he's
not
gonna get Pat in through the
primaries
Hillary's still gonna come in
yes yes as
for your newsletter I want you
to
reiterate this because it's
important
where we were hearing
wall-to-wall
Hillary up until about six six
weeks ago
she was everywhere she was with
the
women intent lesbians in tech
and that's
really less I'm not making that
up it
was the the lesbians in tech
conference
she's doing interviews
everywhere she's
hamming it up she's got her
paperback
version with the with a
prologue and
then she starts this fateful
tour a
three-hour tour and you know
that
apparently I don't even know if
the tour
has been canceled no one's
reporting on
it
other than no this has not had
been
canceled and nobody's reporting
on it
right so what is you know
there's
material in there hell yes so
that if
you don't mind just for there's
a lot of
people who just foolishly do not
subscribe to the newsletter I
think it's
good that you explain again
just what's
happening here
well to sum it up Hilary's being
blackballed by the media yes
and she has
been left that when they talk
about
polls well here's the newest
poll says
this that the other thing
there's no
mention of her when they did
this
rundown that Kelly did on this
Kathy
were Kelly whatever who it was
that did
that report we just played she
has all
pictures that she has you know
screenshots of one you know all
the
potential candidates from
including Amy
Klobuchar who they even have a
sound
bite of Amy Klobuchar talking
about how
she's thinking of running yeah
and so
you have you know screenshot
after
screenshot of people in a big
you know
murderers row shot right and no
Hillary
there's nothing Larry she's not
mentioned she's not shown she's
been
completely blackballed when
they do
polls she'll show up in the
poll but
they will leave her out when
they
present it to the public so
what do you
think her strategy will be if
she's not
taking this lying down I mean
she's
clearly lying wait she's not
gonna
happen with her yeah she is
going to
she's taking names for starters
right um
I think what she's gonna do is
lay and
wait and she knows he's been
through
this enough she's did the old
but she
lost Obama that she lost the
Trump and
so she's she ain't gonna lose
to bet oh
no no she's not gonna lose the
bet oh
but what she's gonna do she
knows the
ropes enough now she still has
the same
people that she's gonna lay in
wait and
let these guys you know kill
each other
off and she's gonna come in late
hmm she's gonna swoop in risky
risky
strategy but she left her wait
for some
risky as you think if you
consider the
field being so big and
everybody wanting
to run yeah
nor talking 40 people I know
but the
media is strong she clearly
doesn't have
CNN on her side MSNBC seems to
have
waned she cause she counting on
Fox News
the Democrats at Fox News to to
help her
no there she's counting on the
news
cycle to help her you know what
she
swoops in it'll be like a big
deal and
nor could she win again it
becomes a
center of attention she won't
have any
trouble getting ink I'm just
wondering
what the catalyst will be I'm
not
disagreeing with with the
strategy
although I see you know I don't
know
she's nuts she really thinks
she can do
this
maybe she can I don't know
maybe just
maybe the numbers do add up
against her
but it I don't think we'll see
a repeat
of Trump Clinton just doesn't
sound
right it doesn't sound right to
me
either
but I this is I think gonna be
what she
tries to do it and I think she
could
pull it off it's not even gonna
be a
Trump in 2020 he's going to
jail he's
going to jail I tell you it
impeachment
imminent that's all I see on
television
it's imminent and the people in
it and
it's not a New York Times the
New York
Times the worst it's not if
he's going
to be impeached it's when it's
where it
is well just on that for a
second I
guess somewhere Christmas right
after
Christmas a report came out
that there
was a prog ping from Michael
Cohen
cellphone which would mean he
lied and
that he was in Prague colluding
with the
Russians and this report came
from
McClatchy which I don't I don't
know why
but I kind I think I know the
name but
everyone seems to to be saying
this is a
very reputable outfit tell me
whom
McClatchy is one of the old
syndicates
it's very so it's very
established not
some newbie it's not like
whatever you
pointed out earlier about the
downtime
calm or whatever it is so they
have they
have chops really they're a
dying
operation but it's you know oh
then you
will like these two clips I
have from
the man himself
Greg Gordon who is the person
who wrote
and filed the story for
McClatchy then
when you're you know even
though you're
old-school I mean they have
standing is
that what you're saying they're
they're
reputable they're seniors they
have
standing yeah I think yeah well
so the
best they could do is get on
the joy
read show for some reason over
at MSNBC
it doesn't include having a
good agent
oh well they definitely need an
upgrade
an agent and the question is
you know
who exactly were your sources
now it's
okay I guess we're in an era of
everything is anonymous sources
people
you know I I can imagine seeing
some of
these
old-school operations having
just stoop
to new-age tactics to get some
airtime
because they can't do it with
their
legitimate reporting that's a
possibility do you have any
idea about
their sources have you heard
any no I
don't even know this story oh
oh well
this was this this is part of
this you
know sparking up of the it's
all over
for him because it turns out
that there
is evidence somewhere from
someone from
sources that have a ping in
Prague from
Michael Cohen cellphone that
would have
to be the NSA that did found
that or
this or the station chief from
the CIA
that was monitoring something
or that an
oxidant sounds sketchy well
let's listen
to McClatchy defend his
reporting or
that Greg Gordon from McClatchy
defend
the reporting and the sources
put
Michael Cohen cellphone in
Prague one
would think those would be
fairly
specific but the reporting of
McClatchy
is that they were either in
August or
September how would they not be
more
specific if these are actual
intercepts
that show the phone pings I
think they
are more specific but
unfortunately we
weren't able to pry that out of
our
sources so we're getting
information
from foreign intelligence
agency this is
a counterintelligence
investigation did
your sources see the
interception
themselves or are they passing
along
information from other people
the
sources have some of the
sources have
government sources and some of
the
sources are I got government
sources or
people who have told us that
they have
trusted intelligence type
sources that
they get information from we
don't know
the specifics but we have used
these
sources on many subjects and
they have
been very accurate I'd say that
not only
stooping to the modern tactics
I'd say
he's holding his his ankles
he's so
stupid over I would find this
to be very
sketchy and then he started off
by
saying that the sources were
foreign
intelligence yes yes not our
boys no NSA
CIA it gets better
you know that sounds a lot like
I still
thought see I reread this deal
because
listen to him laugh as she
basically
rubs it in his face I'll give
him a give
her a point for that saying
yeah this
kind of sounds like the steal
dossier
and he just cracks up laughing
lot like
I still got see I reread this
deal
because what the hell is why
did why
what was so funny about that
I'm wondering myself I mean I'm
kind of
befuddled by this again
McClatchy and it
wasn't like a nervous laugh it
was a it
was a guffaw
yeah there wasn't a tell it was
like and
I'm at all I don't know what
that was so
if she says I reread this T it
sounds
like the steel dossier so be
there he
thinks of steel dossier is
total crap or
it's a complete breakdown of
his system
like hahaha something is very
strange
did they let you see them you
sources
have been used before and
they're saying
it was they were told that these
intercepts exist though it's
true have
they what kind of evidence do
they
provide you for you to
confident that
this was something that you're
willing
to put MacLeod she's named on
well for
one thing we've we got numbers
we have
four sources who've told us
about this
for another we have we have
read our
beginning of our story to some
of these
sources to make absolutely
certain we've
gone over it and over it and
over it we
worked on this story know they
went over
it and over it and over it and
yeah he
has four sources so he's got
numbers I
like how he said that I first
of all we
got numbers is that number she
said is
that a thing you say in the news
business like if we got numbers
here
okay I got numbers I got
sources who
know government sources I got
numbers I
McClatchy did your sources come
to you
and say hey we have this new
information
or did you go to them asking
well it's
been a dialogue for a long time
so you
know in my partner Peter stone
did some
of this elusive sleuthing but
we both
are sleuthing
sleuthing what what is he Nancy
Drew yes
I'm here in Prague
maybe there's something behind
the
bookcase thing but we both are
well-acquainted with the
sources and and
we I would say we developed
some of
these some of this came from
foreign
sources and those people one of
those
people talked to us over a long
period
of time before he provided a
drop of
information he's gonna he's the
guy is
gonna come he's not unglued but
everything's unwinding before
his very
eyes and he even admits to it
in this it
gets is because we know that
there is a
possibility that sometimes
sources have
motives for putting things out
and one
of those motives might be to get
McClatchy to run a story like
this even
if it isn't true is there any
concern at
all that people might have had a
motivation to try to get you to
run a
story it was sort of an audit
in Prague
situation work what is a DA in
Prague
I've heard the expression I've
never
heard that expression oh now we
have to
now we have to look at
I heard uh in is I think it's a
movie
reference
I think Alpha Delta alpha I had
maybe
not had to in Prague I know at a
restaurant and one of those
motors might
be to get McClatchy to run a
story like
this even if it isn't true is
there any
concern at all that people
might have
had a motivation to try to get
you to
run a story there was sort of
an audit
in Prague situation in Prague
like maybe
I'm not hearing it right Abba
ABBA and
Prague maybe but they want it
printed
well that's not the kind of
dialogue
we've had would create a kind of
suspicion because of the people
that
we've been working with but you
always
have to be wary of
disinformation what I
would say about this
information we just
think about the dossier and
Michael
Cohen because this is this
whole Cowan
episode the reason it's got so
much
attention is that it goes if
Muller has
not yet charged anybody with
collusion
or any crime right waiting to
collision
and and so with this what this
meeting
or purported meeting in Prague
quid mean
is the first evidence of some
sort of
collusion beyond this the fact
that his
cellphone
appeared to show up and in the
Prague
area we don't even know if
there wasn't
meaning but this is coupled
with some
intelligence from an Eastern
European
intelligence agency that picked
up this
this conversation conversation
yeah so
now the conversation they
picked it up
and somehow it came from Prague
and you
know the collusion it's never
last 20
seconds very very sad thing
this man is
about to say Michael Cohen is
in Prague
from a Russian official we
believe a
senior Russian officials
questioned she
would be is there any
but you were able to actually
physically
see for yourself that
corroborated what
these sources were telling you
look at
the intercepts that would give
you some
further evidence beyond what we
had we
held out for a while for that
and we you
know where they came at a time
when we
thought we had a critical mass
it is a
competitive business yeah it is
indeed
it's a competitive business we
had to
get the story out there I think
that's
very sad to hear this from a so
called
record bold school organization
well
it's it's a shame well that's
why you
don't that's what you never
heard of
them Oh sad it seems to me that
the CIA
the NSA somebody would know if
this coin
was floating around Prague ever
yeah so
I mean that's not this is not a
story
it's a bull crap button thing
just a
price excite the public well
and for its
McClatchy
the final nail in the coffin
sounds like
to me done those boys are done
I tell
you
no see down here for this no is
it down
or it's it's meant to entertain
we've
had glitches we've had pings
what else
do we have going on in the news
well I
got a series of clips
let me change these either oh I
did I
did I was going through my he
was gonna
do the I did again or the
whatever
happened to ah yes yes yes yes
I've to clips on the same topic
because
it turned out to be this was in
2015
just a few years ago it turns
out to be
this was the news item of the
year it
was there were every channel as
I have
the two clips about it it was
going on
and on everyone was just up in
arms and
they're just everyone's in a
tizzy over
this whatever happened to story
and I
had the PBS version and they
have the
ABC teaser on on this thing
let's start
with the teaser the eye opening
new
cancer warning hotdogs
processed meat
and bacon now put in the same
category
as cigarettes and asbestos
let's listen
to the PBS report this new
report
released today by the World
Health
Organization found that often
beloved
like sausage bacon ham and hot
dogs can
cause certain types of cancer
prior studies had established
similar
connections but the w-h-o was
the most
prominent health organization to
specifically say processed
meats can
cause cancer it looked at more
than 800
studies around the world it
also found
that eating freshly prepared
red meat
like steak or pork or lamb
probably can
cause cancer as well now is
bacon
process
but he's cured it slice slice
does not
awesome process to them means
anything
other than just shooting still
long
behaving
it's still on the pig hits on
its
unprocessed bacon it's smoked
and then
treat you sometimes with the
nitrites
are we dead yet yeah yeah well
I can
follow that up with the story
you know
in in the united states of
gitmo nation
we have the Food and Drug
Administration
running around of trying to not
trying
writing up regulations to stop
children
from the evil vaping because it
leads to
smoking it's a gateway drug to
smoking
we don't know the effects of
nicotine
you could die and meanwhile
kids are
vaping up a storm but they're
not
smoking cigarettes which is why
the
company formerly known as
Philip Morris
bought Joule for some ungodly
amounts it
was at sixty valuation sixty
billion
dollars so crazy and from real
sales and
real forward-looking stuff so
you know
that there's a very big future
in the U
K Gitmo nation east they
haven't quite
caught on to that did they no
longer
have it I thought Philip Morris
was
wasn't that British
originally or at some point do
they not
do they no longer have a stake
in the in
cigarettes and tobacco products
the UK I
think I wonder I wonder if the
UK has
any any relation to tobacco
anymore
because the public health
England which
is the government's you know
public
health propaganda arm has
launched a
campaign to show well I'll play
though
let me show towline Philip
Morris I'm
looking on their wiki page they
are a
they're still in tobacco they
are
founded in 1847 their
headquarters in
New York they're not a British
company
thought they were what is the
at British
American Tobacco there was a
number of
companies that there was a lot
of anyway
they won't if they do because
they're
really trying to get rid of
cigarettes
and they're doing it by showing
the kids
vaping is good and what we are
going to
do this we are going to have I
need to
give you some visual aids here
so they
have three bell jars with
cotton balls
in them one is the control bell
jar
which just has cotton balls not
just air
then they have one with a vape
stuck on
the top and they have one with a
cigarette holder and they drew
in the
equivalent amount of cigarette
smoke and
vape vaporizer condensation as
to a
month's worth of smoking each
product
and I'll say smoking in months
worth of
nicotine in one puff no a
monk's worth
it's not the nicotine a month's
worth of
whatever you puff from a
cigarette a
month's worth of for whatever
you puff
from a vape and then a just
nothing
plain old air with the same not
just the
control of the controlled jaar
jaar
which we draw
from an e-cigarette for the
same amount
of time and then as a control
condition
we have clear air to
demonstrate not
smoking or vaping so let's see
what's
going to happen
yeah I mean it just is so
revolting of
the jar here a lump of time so
that's
what's going on inside your
lungs
there's loads of it and this is
a
reactor one month look at the B
cigarette
it's just a little bit of vapor
but the
only one that's really got much
in the
way of color my research shows
that are
significantly less harmful
density grows
a big reason for this is the
tar which
you can see here which is not
produced
by heart disease
well there are six million
smokers in
England and we think about half
a
million of them will try and
stop
smoking in January the best
thing I
smoked a candy for their health
is to
stop smoking
but don't try and do it on your
own we
ask people to search smoke-free
and get
some help so that they can be
more
successful in quitting smoking
so I
don't know but to me it sounded
like
they were telling the kids
vaping is
good
well it doesn't produce a lump
of tar it
doesn't and there was zero talk
of
nicotine nicotine is not the
issue the
tar and whatever you know
whatever other
cancer is the addictive issue
so they
say bars not known as addicted
to tar
become a roofer no right yeah
exactly
but you get the point it's like
someone's not on my there
promote of
course this is what these guys
do
they've been in the business of
these
guys must be beside themselves
when they
hit were banned from
advertising they
write they own the net one of
the NASCAR
races they they were
advertising on TV
they had brought smoke in
Chesterfield
you remember Johnny players
special now
JPS the black with the gold
letters it
was all the recent cars had it
yeah JPS
Johnny players special and the
cigarettes and members of 15
year old
ahead man with smoke some
Johnny Playa
specials well there's like
there's like
smoking a dog turd like
unbelievably
crap
good tell Moses cigarette sir
well I'd
ever smoked so I can't really
meet I'm
not a connoisseur so I can't
say no I
can but these guys that you
have to be
beside themselves because we're
talking
about some of the greatest
marketing
people in the world that have
to sit
down and come up with schemes
because
they can't really just you
can't just
cut them loose it's got to be
very
frustrating right but so this
is their
latest so these are doing this
they
either keep them busy yeah well
I see
there's a bigger future for
vaping it's
big I think you're right it's
really
well if only we hit the door I
think is
dorky especially the smoke
smoke babies
dorky it is Shh they do not
spoken as
vapor but my favorite is guys
are those
souped up things they fill a
room you
know this vapor but the vape
goes it
dissipates pretty quickly yeah
but it's
yeah but I do remember going to
visit
the vape
I remember visiting Dexter at
the vapor
conference in Dallas a couple
years back
and the whole hall was just
just one
cloud there's his hang in there
you know smelling of like
popcorn and
cotton candy I'm not a big fan
of the
car was an event in Dallas it
was big
was that the convention center
a lot of
people vape and that's when I
got the
hoverboard remember oh yeah
what ever
happened to that thing yeah I
gave it
away
it's a flying bomb man I don't
want to
be on that thing little a
battery just
wait for the battery to ignite
my house
I don't need that yesterday I
saw some
guy go buying a one wheel
Segway yeah
between his legs it well yeah
but you're
but you're right like a
skateboard so
you're sideways is between your
legs but
you're sideways and the and the
wheel is
parallel to the skateboard hmm
that's
all we need more of that well I
was
thinking about the ductless
mobility
which is what we're talking
about and
here's what I don't know so the
companies that are big in this
are uber
and lyft and they've purchased
pieces of
the big frontrunner bird and
lime um and
knowing that the uber model
itself only
is working because they're
severely
undercutting the actual price
of the I
mean they're selling rides
below cost in
most cases unless they unless I
use you
know the app I used to use on
my phone
they go huh that's curry just
you know
do times five because that's
how they
price their rides you know Tina
will use
an app and she'll get the same
ride for
less same with Airbnb and all
that stuff
but you know they're really not
making
any money on any rides I think
they're
losing about a billion dollars
a quarter
and the reason they're still
around is
because they've been able to
get some
you know new group of idiots
for you
know the the fifth round of
investment
to put money in so they can
keep it it
isn't bit a bit like a Ponzi
scheme or
at least its it's a scheme
where they
just need to keep pumping money
and to
keep afloat you agree with the
with this
assessment because I want to
make sure
I'm seeing it right because
I've no I
don't you think they're making
money you
think they're profitable there
are
reports around that float
around the
investment community that show
that you
can if you set up one of these
bull crap
operations you you're in the
black get
within sixty days what I'm
talking about
cars first not about the bikes
I'm
talking about the cars no I
don't know
anything about the financing of
that
that's where they're losing a
billion
dollars a quarter as my
understanding so
they've bought into this what
you
believe is it profitable or
you've heard
can be a money-making operation
but I'm
just gonna go you know whatever
happened
to or whatever yeah whatever
happened to
we had the big bike sharing
startups in
China it was exactly the same
thing they
had two billion initially in
venture you
have then eight eighteen months
they
started to start to really
catch fire
and then more people came in
and then
more money and they started to
acquire
each other and then they had an
IPO one
of them raised four billion
dollars in
IPO and now these companies are
all done
broke there's huge mountains of
these
bikes that are just you know
just piled
up because it out of business
they're
not using to the homeless I
don't think
they have homeless in China
oh no homelessness no job so I
mean it
wouldn't invent and and yeah
and what
happens investors just stopped
stopped
investing well you don't seem
to be able
to make a return and this was
on the
scooters and the bikes so I
don't know
it just doesn't seem like him
you got a
lot of people in China if you
can't make
it work I remember pictures of
China
there were more bikes than we
thought in
Amsterdam I was like oh these
people
really have a lot of bikes then
you
remember the video the old via
film
footage of the oh here's
Beijing and
people on bikes everywhere they
couldn't
make it work I'm not so sure I
every
time I'd you know if there's an
uber I
just don't invest in this well
no but
also yeah I think the whole
system just
it's doesn't seem sustainable
well if
you think about it does
right to have this though this
crap
Langer you know buying all
these things
and then having them laying all
over the
place it just doesn't seem like
I
haven't come to pick them up
and charge
him yeah yeah it's expensive
expensive
yes that's gotta cost money and
yeah now
downtown Austin they have a new
problem
whenever one of these bikes is
or these
scooters is his parked in the
middle of
the sidewalk there seems to be
someone
going around and putting his
boot and
bending the disc brake on the
back
is a disk brake on the back
yeah exposed
disc brake very thin and it's
apparently
if you put your boot on it
while it's
lying down you can bend it and
then the
wheel won't go rendering the
whole thing
inoperable someone is doing that
downtown some vandal is doing
that I
have no idea and I bet you the
police
aren't interested in catching
him either
no no no we have other things
to do sir
yes I'm not sure what we got to
go
protect the ground for the
soccer
stadium make sure no one's
peeing on it
something like that always
something
that's awesome that's the thing
that's
always overlooked in these
great utopian
schemes is that is the
preponderance I'm
not talking about just
occasional I'm
talking about preponderance of
vandalism
that's why we have the police
we have
weight I mean to just admit
just humans
in general have especially in
Frida
freedom-loving countries we
have a
preponderance of vandalism just
go you
can drive through any city and
look at
all the graffiti it's all good
vandalism
even though there's a lot of
art in
there but now in Austin in
Austin we
have a we call it graffiti a
graffiti
park and we call it art where
it's
really just a bunch of it's a
place
where there's some run-down
buildings
where kids have smoking dope and
drinking and spray-painting the
wall but
in Austin it's art well there
are pieces
I've seen I've collected some
actually
of graffiti that is art it's a
very
specific style of art and it's
very
pretty and but that's not what
most of
it is most of it is these you
know that
they call throw up sand and
just tags
and just a mess
well clearly it's beatniks who
are doing
this in Austin so they're
taking a law
into their own hands and with
that I
would like to thank you for
your courage
and say in the morning to the
man who
put the C in COBOL John C

pleased to
let you know that the Carmi
requested
for my back surgery worked
awesome yes I
only had a very minor infection
but
other than that my incision has
healed
beautifully it's been two
months it's my
surgery and the actual surgery
results
are absolutely amazing before
the
surgery I had such severe leg
pain I
could only stand for about 30
seconds
and walk about 20 feet before I
collapsed wow I'd been in a
wheelchair
for nine months after the
surgery right
when I woke up in the recovery
room I
could tell if the pain was
completely
gone in my legs I've been slowly
recovering getting my strength
back very
carefully until the fusion sets
in then
I'll be able to start physical
therapy

strength

thinking as provided by the No
Agenda
show yeah yeah I may not always
agree
with everything that said what
you don't
have to say because we don't

number three Adam your
attention to
detail and professionalism is
inspirational for much
appreciated
I have been listening to

2006 before it became a thing

agenda is without doubt the most
sophisticated experience I've
ever had
and not just for the content the
presentation and audio quality
is top
shelf
thank you will you work hard on
that
John do you believe in divine
intervention that is when you
and Adam
somehow came up with a do you
do a talk
program and the metamorphosis
is what we
count on every week to keep
saying in
this padded world as the elder
statesman
of the duo your insight wisdom
and broad
range knowledge really gives us
a
perspective that is definitely
absent
from the general
most elder statesmen I like it
I like it
funny hero can beat them you do
with you
know one arm behind your back I
must be
honest but preachers from my
mouth
history is riddled with
instances of
information suppression and
conflagration which is why now

more than ever we need a
resource like

and do
that edge of orange org slash a
lots of
hidden in the mouth over the
holidays
you
the deconstruction now
propagate our
formula is this we go out for
your
people in the mouth
yes sir all right I got a
question for
you sure
or anybody had to can explain
to me why
there is this obsession with
Mumia
abu-jamal what otherwise known
as Wesley
Cooke free Mumia you ever seen
those
stickers you're going to any
like
Philadelphia or Baltimore you
see these
stickers on the holes this free
movie
yeah no I don't know I don't
know
anything about this yeah well
I'd know
about it
Mumia abu-jamal he's a guy who
shot a
cop and Philadelphian got life
and how
long about ever since but God
will
challenge anybody to go to the
wiki page
and read it but first let's
play this
clip I got a clip on here they
are again
because democracy now would be
one of
these operations that would be
trying to
free Mumia and those are some
of the
headlines this is democracy now
democracynow.org the war and
peace
report I'm Amy Goodman we begin
today's
show with an update on a major
development that could be the
path to
freedom for former Black
Panther Mumia
abu-jamal
the award-winning journalist
who was
convicted of the 1981 murder of
Philadelphia police officer
Daniel
Faulkner but has always
maintained his
innocence on Thursday a
Philadelphia
Common Pleas Court judge ruled
Mumia
abu-jamal
can re argue his appeal in the
case
before the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court
because then Chief Justice
Ronald
Castile failed to excuse
himself from
the case due to his prior role
as
Philadelphia district attorney
when abu-jamal was appealing
his case a
blue Jamal's lawyers argued that
statements Castile made about
people
accused of killing police
officers
indicated he should have
recused himself
they cited campaign speeches
and letters
he wrote that called for the
death
penalty in such cases abu-jamal
spent
nearly three decades on death
row before
his sentence in the shooting
death of
officer Daniel Faulkner was
thrown out
over flaw jury instructions
prosecutors
then agreed in 2011 to a
sentence of
life without parole
judge Tucker's decision on
Thursday was
split because he
night abu-jamal x' claim that
Casteel
had quote personal significant
involvement of the case while
he was in
the district attorney's office
for more
we join we're joined here in
New York by
Johanna Fernandez a professor
of history
at Baruch College CUNY the City
University of New York and one
of the
coordinators of the campaign to
bring
Mumia home she has been in the
courtroom
for part of this case and is
the editor
of writing on the wall selected
prison
writings of Mumia abu-jamal
professor Fernandez welcome
back to
Democracy Now can you talk it
about the
significance of Thursday's
ruling well
this is a case that is
important for
Mumia abu-jamal but also for
dozens of
people sitting in prison in
Pennsylvania
essentially the judge
established that
if there is prejudice in
hearing the
defendant has the right to a
new hearing
and you can kill it yeah hmm
all right
so this guy the stories that
make it
short I could read from the
wiki page
but I'd recommend people go
there and
look at it I just type in Mumia
you'll
get it I there's like witnesses
it would
happen he was a cab driver who
became a
reward winning journalist when
he was in
prison he did some kind of
reporting for
a couple local radio stations
gotten
fired by one of them became a
very
staunch black panther during
that era
and he was driving his cab at
3:00 4:00
at 4:00 in the morning when like
apparently his brother was
pulled over
by a cop for something and the
two of
them were got into an argument
Mumia got out of his cab walked
over and
shot the cop in the head and
once a day
wrecker and this was witnessed
by
numerous people including a
hooker he
was a sex worker
he was taken in and his gun had
five
rounds missing from it he had
you know
passed all the obligatory you
know test
powder on his hands all that
stuff and
he still had the gun they had
the gun
they had his murder weapon
and it goes on and on and out
and when
he admitted it to somebody in
prison
that he did it and there's all
these
these things but for some
reason and I
don't know what it is like I
can't
believe it's just cuz he says
I'm
innocent that this is a been a
left-wing
cause hmm
and they've I mean it's
possible that he
could have been framed I've
never seen a
frame like this it's never
resistors too
much too much you know too many
people I
know one's come forward saying
that they
lied it's just outrageous and
they this
continues this has gone on
since the 70s
guys been in jail for 30 years
and the
left-wing keeps bringing it up
as close
to some sort of a cause celeb
and I
don't even know why I don't
know why
well I can I can wager a guess
as to why
it's cropping up now as we just
had
prison reform Trump has been
president
Trump has been working with
people of
great importance like Kim
Kardashian and
also entertained some input
from Kanye
about the certain prisoners
who've been
in for a long time maybe
they're trying
to hitch onto that bandwagon
just bring
it back again and maybe just
say Trump
you hate Muslim sounding people
because
you didn't help this guy I mean
who
knows it could be that it could
be any
number of things well I don't
think this
guy's getting out
but just to me this has been
going on
for his way too long and it's
just but
yeah maybe it explains what's
coming
back into the news at this
point as hell
yeah right now this has been
continuous
interesting yeah yeah I got we
got
lefties out there somebody can
explain
it to me I looked up I don't
want to
it's not innocent I looked at
Mumia
abu-jamal and the wikis and I
got high
reader in the US it seems you
use
Wikipedia a lot that's great
it's a
little awkward to ask but this
Sunday we
need your help we depend on
donations of
course I'll donate just because
just
because they make a lot of
money doesn't
mean we don't use it a lot and
they
don't and just because I don't
always
agree with what they say
doesn't mean we
shouldn't support them
it's mileage and the monastic
note I
always know I always send them
money at
the end of the year of course
it's
invaluable resource whether
it's right
or not it's valuable
well well it is available
research
there's no doubt about you said
this guy
became an award-winning
journalist in
jail yeah he was a book about
being in
jail hmm
well it was kind of you know
jeez just
like I think by the way there
is some
some left-leaning idea of the
literate
mind so if you can you know this
happened with Norman Mailer he
found
some guy in jail who was a
savant very
good writer I can't remember
his name
Henry or something like that
Henry something and he got in
an early
release pretty much in Norman
Mailer's
recognizance and that guy went
out and
killed somebody a rape someone
had just
somebody got thrown right back
in jail
and it was a huge humiliation
for Norman
Mailer gotcha
well speaking of journalists odd
journalists The Washington Post
on just
between Christmas and New
Year's on the
28th released a little bit of
news it
was very actually very it
reminded me a
lot of the climate change report
you know just pushed out on a
Friday
kind of hush-hush we don't want
to which
is something that Washington
Post yelled
and screamed about they put out
a news
report admitting that they had
discovered text messages
between their
Star columnist Jamal Bugsy
Jamarcus 2g that became very
clear to
them that the exact chief
executive at
the Qatar Qatar Foundation
International
Maggie Mitchell Salem had been
texting
him and shaping his columns
proposing
topics drafting material
prodding him to
take a harder line against the
Saudi
government and this was below
the fold
even in the article that they
admit to
this but so we were right the
guy was a
shill yeah and he was he wasn't
even he
was I mean who was writing
these columns
it looks like Qatar was writing
them nor
this Qatar Foundation
International yeah
who you know Qatar and Turkey
they're
buds now they're all against
Saudi
Arabia and I think it's
disgraceful that
the Washington Post didn't just
say hey
you know what we really messed
up on
this one because they did does
it it
doesn't work there's no
anti-trump angle
imposed but it's yeah well
that's my
point it is the Washington Post
that
discovered this
that they they're big you know
they're
big columnist there freedom
fighter
oh no we we love him he's great
he was
just a shill for the Muslim
Brotherhood
and they have every right to be
journalists as well but don't
tell me
that you're the Washington Post
and
you're holier than all that you
got just
that you got the same problems
everybody
else has only you didn't catch
it what
did you they did you build it
Jim and
they finally caught it they did
it
sheepishly that's very very
very very
low yes especially for below
the fold on
page forty and then a Friday
night have
not the Bulldog edition is
disgusting
okay well let's since we're in
that part
of the world a little bit let's
talk
about the Sudan riots because
there's a
funny thing that happened on
the way to
the Sudan riots which are going
on as we
speak it's not being covered by
the
media of course there's too many
retrospectives
it was a great twenty eighteen
whatever
happened then let us play this
in Sudan
scores of people have been
killed in
anti-government protests that
erupted
last week government officials
put the
number of dead at nineteen
though
Amnesty International said
earlier this
week the number of dead reached
37 the
government has declared a state
of
emergency and reportedly sensor
to shut
down newspapers that were
covering the
demonstrations the protests
which were
triggered by a sharp rise in
the price
of bread are taking aim at the
worsening
economic situation of the
country and
the military regime of
President Omar
Hassan al-bashir with many
calling for
the overthrow of the ruling
National
Congress party there now the
code word
just came in to that story and I
realized we haven't really
talked about
it much we did it when the
first when
the Arab Spring began yeah
the severe rise in the cost of
bread in
Egypt bread Egypt I think
Tunisia
tunisia everybody has these
these it's
always in there I got bread
problems
it's a bread problem that
because of the
huge rises the cost of bread
for what
they were never told what the
rise is
ever was it from 10 cents a
loaf to five
dollars a loaf was it from a
dollar a
loaf to two dollars of love
what is it severe rise in the
cost of
bread and this happened before
I think that's code I think the
CIA code
or somebody's right that gets
into the
story to let everyone know that
okay we
got to mobilize over something
here or
so let's you know meet your
meet your
hand learn let's talk about it
right who
know typically after the bread
code goes
out someone likes himself on
fire but
that they they pop that too
early this
time and it wasn't in Sudan
weird we
have a guy like himself on
fries I don't
know if that whiffed if the
chronology
is correct
somebody's always lighting
themselves on
fire but I don't know if that's
in
relation to the bread dough no
no I
don't think so
but that's why I'm saying that
we get
bread and then we typically get
lighting
on fire
or the other way around could be
when the bread thing is the one
that
kids stood out when she gave
this report
because yeah I agree
they've gone nuts over breasts
because
everyone goes under the streets
and
starts wrecking the place
because of the
price of bread really
well bread is important to some
people
it's easy for us no I know but
sometimes
make your own bread this is the
price of
wheat if that's gone up that
would be
different this different story
it just doesn't there's
something about
it it's just something about it
doesn't
know ya the prices and bread
has gone up
so I'm gonna go riot and wreck
my break
the town yeah here bread price
hike
starts violent sparks violent
protests
let's see we can find out the
actual
bread price increase yeah
that'd be neat
need to know that Sudanese
police fire
tear gas on people protesting
higher
bread prices Wow hmm so he's
sounding
like a like a color revolution
thing so
you only haven't had a color
come out of
it yet no Sudan would be beige
I found a good podcast a drone
podcast
called droning on which kind of
attracted me I'm like that's
that's
funny if you have that kind of
humor
about yourself about being a
podcast and
this guy is you know you again
I think
we've talked about this like
the the
actual vocation of journalists
is just
invalid let's just go to
someone who
actually knows what they're
talking
about I mean we don't know much
about
drones there's people in our in
our
network and the value for value
network
who know a lot about drones but
no one
offered anything up this guy he
does a
drone podcast he's in the UK
and he has
a couple of theories about the
phantom
drones at Gatwick Airport so a
very
quick recap of the incident at
Gatwick
thousands of flights were
canceled or
diverted the military was
called in
multiple police forces involved
not just
Sussex five million pounds
spent on anti
drone systems the international
press
and media camping on site with
telephoto
lenses looking for a drone and
all based
on eyewitness accounts but yet
not a
single video or photo of the
drone so if
it wasn't a drone what exactly
happened
well there's been a lot of
speculation
people have suggested
eco-warriors
complaining about additional
wrong ways
being built at the airfield
other
speculation has been a major
systems
failure at Gatwick shortly
after the
Gatwick incident Birmingham
reported an
air traffic control error which
led to
grounded flights such a failure
of the
airport would have resulted in
them
paying millions of compensation
to
Airlines and to passengers and
of course
the airport would not want that
but the
bigger news for me is the
announcement
yesterday that vinci group are
buying
50.1% of Gatwick Lynch er a
French
company that currently owned 46
airports
around the world and in October
2018
analysts estimated the value of
Gatwick
at between 7 to 10 billion
pounds the
sale to vinci of fifty point
zero one
add only 2.9 billion plus the
value of
the airfield at just less than
6 billion
which is far less than the
estimation of
the analysts earlier this year
so the
big question is did the drone
crisis at
Gatwick devalue the airfield
therefore
making the sale to Vinci more
economical
I'd like all of those
Wow the one I like the think it
could be
more of a combo though where
another I
don't know if if whatever I
said I don't
know enough about the air
traffic
control mistake but I'll tell
you when
it comes to millions of dollars
in in an
aviation an airport yeah I'm
pretty sure
that do anything to not have to
hang for
that and maybe that would be the
catalyst you know the
acquisition they
didn't want that getting out it
sounds
like a cover-up
tonight I think the guys got a
couple of
good ones yeah that was a great
analysis
yeah the eco-warriors movie do
beat all
since all 67 of the sighting
reports
were all airport employees no
passengers
hello yeah that's dubious yeah
what's this that's podcasting
for you
people yeah that's where you
have to go
to get the real information
nowadays you
get nothing from the mainstream
that's
for sure those guys are
pathetic let's
go to Saudi Arabia leadership
update get
back out of the country
leadership updates in Saudi
Arabia King
Salman has consolidated power
for his
son Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman
ordering a reshuffle of the
cabinet
nearly three months after the
murder of
John Ostrom Alka shogi which
caused
international uproar and
brought Saudi
leadership under close scrutiny
notably
foreign minister Adel al-jubeir
was
demoted to the position of
Minister of
State for Foreign Affairs all
Jubair
blame Khashoggi she's killing
on rogue
Saudi agents he also previously
characterized the international
outcry
of to show she's murder is
fairly
hysterical the cabinet shake-up
is seen
as a boon for the Crown Prince
by
placing loyalists and key
positions bin
Salman will retain his roles in
the
government including Deputy
Prime
Minister and defense minister
earlier
this month the US Senate passed
a
resolution saying it believes
that crown
prince is responsible for
cashew cheese
murder khashoggi a u.s.
resident and
columnist for The Washington
Post was
killed by Saudi agents after
entering
the Saudi consulate in Istanbul
Turkey
on October 2nd
okay so where does that leave
everybody
I'm a little confused well as
the solar
reports are confusing lives
anybody
Ami's I got this changed the
guys got
more powers got consolidation
is gonna
go on with his project to build
a Dubai
clone out in the middle of
nowhere and
dumb but also he said he would
rebuild
Syria
this is part of the deal the
Saudi
Arabia is supposed to rebuild
Syria
whatever needs rebuilt gonna
work with
the Turks the two of them don't
get
along very well some deal will
clear out
the place and the Saudis will
come in
and rebuild possibly the the
Turks are
on the border now now that you
know
they've given the the Kurds
enough heads-up leeway lead
time also
Trump's deal I think he's like
get out
yeah so they're on the border
they're
about to go in and do whatever
they
think is necessary
yeah well that should be very
very more
bloodshed so they work they
work well
the Russians it'll be fine so
Amy is is
is working
she's working that was from
Friday I
think oh okay well still but
she doesn't
know they never work on Sunday
but she's
working the week yes yes two
weeks the
other people no no it's not
it's not a
retrospective yeah mainstream
guy they
Andy because one of them takes
the week
off and they all take the week
off cuz
it's in this you know the the
people
think less of them if they had
to
actually work so the president
has been
at the White House over the
holidays
he's made quite a point of it
I'm
sitting here over everyone's at
home
Nancy's in Hawaii I'm here he's
doing
what we're doing
yes milking it like a pro yes
milking it
like a podcaster he is but he
didn't do
a couple of interesting things
first
he stock whispered the market
up a
thousand points which I have a
back
story report on I'm told new
reporting
now a high-ranking Trump
administration
official reached out to a
well-known
hedge fund manager for advice
on how to
get stocks to go up that the
call took
place after the Christmas Eve
sell-off
the worst ever for Christmas
Eve the
administration was said to be
determined
to get stocks to reverse and go
higher
I'm also told that the investor
who was
called told the administration
official
to get President Trump to stop
criticizing j-pal on Twitter
the Fed
chair to stop all the turnover
inside
the White House madis the
latest to
depart the defense secretary
and of
course to strike a deal with
China well
sounds like he got part of that
right
you know the the word came out
like oh
no no the Fed chairs no no
danger no
problem whatsoever and then he
also said
by the dip and that worked out
reasonably well as for China
yes it
seems we have some deals it
looks like
we got a rice deal we might
have which
is new and huge we may have a
soy deal
there's something going on and
here's
I'm sorry and these soybeans
deals
bigger than the rice deal well
that
we've never had a rice deal so
it just
depends on you maybe maybe
sighs but I
think the fact that rice would
how crazy
is that we're sending rice to
China
the Japanese won't take our
rice you
know that why don't why won't
they take
our rice because they feel that
they
started Japanese unlike us feel
that
would they start importing rice
and it
will ruin their artisanal
businesses of
children in the rice field art
is
artisanal is now code for child
child
abuse and child labor well
here's a
report on what the president is
doing
with China is there any promise
that
they could make about snooping
or or not
stealing our technology that
could be
believed well what the
president has
been writing about in his books
and the
scene in his campaign speeches
as he's
looking for a verifiable
agreement he's
looking for things that we can
actually
make sure the Chinese do but by
marelize
people like this you can have
verification measures yes this
was done
in the case of previous trade
agreements
the trick is going to be seen
performance actually take place
so if
they buy a hundred airliners we
can see
that happen if they actually
shut down
electoral theft companies and
put people
in jail have some show trials
there's a
Chinese proverb you probably
know called
kill the chicken to scare the
monkeys
sha Zhi Jing hole in Chinese
hey Xiao
Zhi Jing oh yourself right if
they have
a lot of these trials and put
people in
prison for 20 years for
property theft
against Western companies or
technology
transfer this forced that will
have a
huge impact that we can see no
I'll be
looking forward to that but
there was an
NBC report which was largely
propaganda
piece on Cummings Diesel okay
okay the
famous diesel manufacturer yeah
they're
in Indiana I believe and they
have
they're very famous diesel
maker they
have a lot of the modern
technology for
diesels comes from them but
let's play
these clips and I got them
chopped up to
a lot of small pieces just to
show you
how the NBC slants things and
this go
with the head and it also drops
in
little propaganda bits
diesel one Columbus Indiana is
thriving
there's a new brewery not far
from a
century-old ice cream parlor
many towns like this have
struggled with
jobs moving overseas but in
Columbus one
company has held it all
together because
of trade with China our economy
would go
down the drain if the Cummins
wasn't a
part of our community Cummins
is the
world's largest independent
diesel
engine maker and pulling 10,000
people
in Indiana alone we export
about 65% of
the engines that we produce
here but
this American success story
founded here
99 years ago faces soaring
costs and 200
million dollars in losses this
year
because of us tariffs on
Chinese goods
tariffs are harmful their
attacks and
they create additional cost
that will
eventually be borne by all
customers
this summer the Trump
administration
imposed tariffs on Chinese
steel and
aluminum and on key parts
Cummins needs
we have no suppliers available
in the US
in fact there are not foundries
that
operate in the u.s. let's stop
there
well there are thousands of
foundries
that operate in the US there's
three in
my area and I can see two of
them from
the house but one of them well
she's
lying probably she's lying
she's the
spokes halt for coming uh-huh
and now the thing about this
there's no
foundries and this lot of them
make big
products as they make it I
don't know
which ones make thing we have
we have a
fox but the Chinese aren't the
only
people in the world that make
an engine
block we have a producer who
was do his
dad has a foundry he sent us
foundry
stuff yeah we made a ice-cream
scoop
that's a foundry yes it is a
foundry but
it doesn't make engine blocks
agent
block founders are big but they
they
were they're around now so I'm
listening
to this report this on NBC is
packaged
and this assertion that the US
has no
foundries goes unchallenged by
the
reporters on cheese and BC me
okay okay
okay okay
alright let's go to to the
tariffs are
on components like these engine
blocks
they're essentially the
skeletons of the
engines making up forty percent
of the
final product but the only
place that
Cummins can get them China
president
Trump's leadership is working
and China
wants a different American
president
tough talk but here it's more
personal
after all Columbus is vice
president
Mike Pence's hometown are the
potential
consequences on places like
your own
hometown worth this fight with
China the
United States of America today
has faced
more than six hundred billion
dollar
trade deficit and the better
part of
half of that is with China it
actually
engages in forced technology
transfers
of American companies and even
outright
theft of intellectual property
but his
tone was far different when as
Indiana's
governor he visited a Cummins
plant in
China he cited the immense
potential for
the creation of more great jobs
for
Hoosiers through the
strengthening of
ties with our Chinese partners
Cummins
workers like Steve Angle have
counted on
that partnership if we don't
have
globalization we don't have no
growth
right right right
no worker a guy's Union guy
yeah somehow
this guy's a man on the street
a man on the street and he says
we have
no globalization we know job
right right
right right well that's what
he's been
taught that's what he's been
taught so
what he's saying in essence is
that
throughout history
no such thing as growth unless
there's
globalization listen again
Cummins workers like Steve
Engel have
counted on that partnership if
we don't
have globalization we don't
have no
growth right right right
poor guy it's mind control
piece of crap
that they threw into this
report NBC is
pro-china anti-american clearly
making
that assertion it's pretty
obvious the
NBC that presents everything
like that
and if something Trump wants to
do it's
Trump's it's not the United
States and
also strong and also straps
wall when
when when Mike Pence was in
charge of
Indiana he was protecting
Indiana's
interests and BS that's how the
state
and federal model works so that
doesn't
always align now he's a federal
guy he's
a Fed you know a different
different
different issue now make it
sound like
he's a flip-flopper well that
was the
idea
well oh of course so listen I
got a
three second little kicker at
the end of
this
Bart three now they find
themselves
caught in the president's trade
war yeah
it's a president's trade worse
not about
America's trade war which I
know no it's
the president's it's Trump's
this
personal thing it's just hurting
everybody his hardness because
you get
to know globalization so
they're Pro
global they're anti Trump wrote
China so
now here's the way the way they
finished
the thing when he does the
sign-off and
throws it back to Holly Holly
ally ally volley NBC wait wait
wait I
gotta set this up this to me is
the
segue of the year there's a big
deal
when they're way people segue
things we
do it every one so we have a
really good
segue like kind of cool
sometimes we
stop the show it's a show
stopper yeah
it was great I just have for
art because
we are globalist for our global
production audience a segue is
when you
transition from one topic to
the other
and if you can do it smoothly
it's
called a great segue
and there's a lot of things
called
awkward segues where you go
from you
know talking about some burn
victim to
somebody promoting fire eating
but you
have like this this
possibilities exist
actually that this hour has 20
minutes
22 minutes whatever it is up in
Canada
has a whole segment of awkward
questions
this I consider to be a just an
anti-trump segue because of the
way they
present the story this are the
globalist
positive globalist thing here
with it
with the engine block said
apparently
before China existed Cummings
couldn't
make I don't know how they did
it how
they existed but listen to the
way this
segue works Vaughn Hilliard NBC
News
Columbus Indiana another
painful reality
we saw play out this year a
record
number of school shootings
Cummins
report was a very painful
reality people
very much in common with school
shootings it's just as bad
which we find
out now I have the report now I
have a
report to whose report do you
bring
I have the CBS version all
right let me
do mine first CBS once your
length of
yours the length of mine is 52
seconds
okay I get 154 you do yours
first
right the Florida sunset no
publishing a
bombshell report tonight after
school
shooting massacre in February
this year
its headline this unprepared and
overwhelmed the paper goes on
to report
the two decades after Columbine
at five
years after Sandy Hook
educators and
police still weren't ready for
parkland
surveillance video and the
report shows
killer Nicolas Cruz in the
beginning
moments of the massacre telling
another
student quote
you'd better get out of here
things are
going to get messy then pulls
out the
ar-15 and begins shooting the
video also
shows Emma D Scott Peterson the
school
resource officer the only armed
lawman
on the campus as he reportedly
the paper
says fails to go inside the
building
despite shots being fired he
ordered a
school lockdown instead of
ordering
deputies toward the building
later
revealed in this report that
officers
quote may rushed toward gun
fighters
rather than shell according to
Paula
they're in Broward County that
was a
terrible report who was that I
think
that was CNN which makes sense
that was
terrible yeah they're terrible
well for
one thing there's we saw the
video of
the kid walking in on the guy
with the
gun and yeah yeah he's not
shooting he
pulls it out as the kid walks
past him
and then he had it out and he
was
loading it as the kid John the
kid
looked at him he looked the
kisses you
better get out of here
something Bad's
gonna happen they told the kid
to get
lost cuz he was loading the gun
mm-hmm
and that's not the same as
telling the
kid to get out of here and then
pulling
out a gun no this is a little
longer
reports pretty much the same
thing as I
think is a little better this
is CBS and
ten months after the massacre
at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School in
parkland
Florida we're seeing for the
first time
video from the school's interior
security cameras the Sun
Sentinel
newspaper obtained a video as
part of
its investigation into the mass
shooting
that killed 17 students and
staff
members the Sun Sentinel says
the video
shows moments where
opportunities to end
the chaos may have been missed
Manuel
Bojorquez has our report the
just
published video shows the
moment shooter
Nicholas Cruz and turned a
stairway in
the school and while loading his
semi-automatic rifle warns a
student who
happens to walk by according to
a draft
of the official report by the
Marjory
Stoneman Douglas Public Safety
Commission Cruz told the
student you
better get out of here
something bad is
about to happen the report says
the
freshman student fled and
immediately
told a football coach who did
not issue
a Code Red
it was one of three missed
opportunities
the report concluded to warn
the school
there was an active shooter
Cruz was
left to make his way through
the school
to the third floor where
students were
gathered in a hallway after a
fire alarm
went off the shooting lasted
eight
minutes leaving 17 dead for the
first
time we see Cruz running away
from the
school
at the same time deputies
believed he
was still in the school because
they
were watching surveillance
videos that
were on a time delay
Andrew Pollock whose daughter
meadow was
killed in the shooting reacted
to the
new video tweeting this
minute-by-minute
playback with
many missed opportunities for
intervention is heartbreaking
and
calling for the resignation of
officials
in charge the commission's
draft report
calls for improved training of
deputies
and educators and recommends a
controversial policy of arming
school
teachers proper training and
background
checks a final version of the
report is
set to reach the governor's
desk next
week wait a minute yeah what
sure did
that's trumps horrible idea
yeah and now
that's something they're
considering
yeah fantastic but nobody does
that well
know that we just copy with a
really
good report from CBS especially
when
contrasted with that piece oh
yeah good
good work on finding that one
that's
interesting yeah I have some
New World
Order news because we have
Davao coming
up in January Davao it's the
the Winter
Jam where all the elites jet
off to the
World Economic Forum and they
have a
title now they're all set up
they've
announced what they're doing
this is the
title of the World Economic
Forum for
2019 will be globalization 4.0
4.0 one
more time we can do it this
will be
Hillary Clinton 4.0 here's
where they
have global economic leadership
ok
globalization is being redefined
simultaneously by four major
transformations and this will
be the
topics global economic
leadership is no
longer dominated by
multilateralism but
characterized by plural lateral
ISM what
does that mean well pluralism
let's look
it up I I know what it kind of
know what
it means I don't have the
definition of
the top of my head but it's
plural
village it's plural lateral ism
yeah but plurilateral a little
lateral
is it will look stem from the
word
plural is you need to be an
elite just
to pronounce it plural I'll or
a little
them prior drunk conditioner
system in
which two or more states groups
principal sources of authority
etc
coexist well what about this of
holding
more than one office or church
Muslim
new the church only want more
than one
so plural lateral ISM would
mean like
unilateral means you do it
yourself
bilateral it means you do to
people
plural latter rule ISM means
you have
three or more parties involved
well how
does how does that differ from
multilateralism I don't see
that it does
well but okay multilateralism
according
to the Book of Knowledge refers
to
alliance of multiple countries
pursuing
a common goal yeah and here
they say
global economic leadership is
no longer
dominated by that but it's
characterized
by plural lateral ISM and so
they're
saying there's a difference yes
what is
it I don't know but they're
gonna have a
biggest read that pluralism
definition
sounds the same to me they're
gonna have
a chat about it in the snow
okay so we don't understand
that one the
next topic the balance is that
what
they're talking about waste this
gobbledygook I was trying to
confuse us
well wait for the next one the
balance
of global power has shifted from
unipolar to multipolar
so that means it shifted from
unipolar
which would be us I think yeah
I think
what they're saying is hey
America screw
you put your foam finger down
there's
China and they probably think
Europe
they probably think they're the
other
party multipole be your pusher
yeah
Europe China us yeah and of
course say
they were just ignore Russia
even though
Russia's not that big then we
have the
next topic ecological challenges
including but not limited to
climate
change are threatening
socio-economic
development think about that
it's
threatening socio-economic
development
is it
well it's threatening I don't
know what
is threatening but just not
doing
anything well what is socios no
action
here where's the rising tides
what is socio-economic
development
what is that it's grossest it's
like the
growth of a of a society and
its economy
and finally the fourth
Industrial
Revolution is introducing
technologies
at a speed and scale
unparalleled in
history as is well they they
have added
yes if you go back to the 1300s
yeah and
I think they're talking about
technology
I'm sure they talk about
technology but
I think they grew did the
growth rate is
I guess I don't know
I guess is unparalleled in some
ways so
as the inflation of the money
supply now
to go along with this Angela
Merkel she
will make good she will be in
attendance
she is right on board you know
she's on
the way out she's not looking
too good
actually she I think she's
looking I'm
just looking at this picture
and she
doesn't look as jolly look
hangdog mmm
it's a little more that I don't
know I
hope she's okay yeah anyway she
did a
she little speech where was
this speech
it was at the
where was it it was there it
for her own
party but she said and I quote
nation-states must today be
prepared to
give up their sovereignty in
orderly
fashion of course she joked
attempting
to lighten the mood there were
politicians who believed that
they could
decide when these agreements
were no
longer valid because they are
representing the people but the
people
are individuals who are living
in a
country they are not a group
who define
themselves as German people she
stressed
I don't know what that's all
about but
there it is
Europe must be stronger and win
more
sovereignty nation states must
today be
prepared to give up their
sovereignty
and this is shaking the the
European
Union this is being reported
quite
broadly as you can imagine I
can imagine
but I guess she couldn't know I
mean
this like Hillary when she made
the
commentary years ago that she
sees a day
or once a day where there's no
borders
from the tip of South America
to the to
the up to Alaska no borders
yeah North
country's party time party to
Lee what
kind of thinking is this in
this society
yeah interesting idea
yeah well you know the the wall
the
fence whatever it is we have
it's not
gonna make any difference it
won't
change anything
we've got this stuff in place
now but
these migrants these economic
migrants
and some of whom are asylum
seekers they
got tricks man they got tricks
they know
how to get past any structure
we have a
problem and the problem is the
fact that
the border who we saw it on your
newsreels a few weeks ago how
people
coming up to the fence could
simply melt
through the fence the wall is
in poor
now the president understands
that wait
a second I want to make sure
then that's
why it will be done is this
like a
Marvel Comics book situation
they they
melted through the fence there
you saw
it you saw the films people just
literally were under the fence
waiting
they were sliding sliding in
between the
slats
shapeshifters John they're
melting no
wall can stop that no luckily
they like
to do gardening that's Texas

maybe
here's a you know I like the
way they
turn the New Year celebration
there's
something about khashoggi at
least I
mean this is nobody reports
this because
it's not report is this is dumb
but this
is democracy now is reporting
about the
new Time Square celebrations
now it's
gonna be dedicated to dead
journalists
apparently that Amy did this
before the
Washington Post reported that
he was a
shill for Qatar yeah Times for
New
Year's Eve celebration will
honor the
Committee to Protect
Journalists this
year
Tim Tompkins president of The
Times
Square Alliance said the group
chose CPJ
to quote celebrate the free
press and
journalism and those who work
to protect
preserve and practice it
journalists
will join in the celebrations
hoping to
kick off the anticipated ball
drop
countdown to the new year and
its
recently released on your
report on
murdered journalists CPJ found
at least
53 journalists were killed on
the job
this year 34 in reprisal for
their work
almost doubling the number of
targeted
murders against journalists in
2017 okay
I mean we don't hear about any
of them
by the way no no it's only one
of them
no and he wasn't a journalist
he was a
columnist
sorry that's a little different
by the
way sir hashtag Knoll has
emailed us the
font the font porn the porn a
dough of
fonts yeah it is the
noteworthy font
now is that the original name
because
most fonts have been renamed
and then
stolen
he says the font you loved is
called
noteworthy and is a Macintosh
standard
font sad John sad news or just
sad sad
things taking place and I've
been
following the climate grief
where
surprise surprise this is your
beach
well I'm gonna kind of swerve a
little
bit on this the point I'm going
to make
is that we have been telling
the world
and I'll say we because it's our
generation that journals news
whatever
you know it's starting with of
course Al
Gore we have been telling the
world
we're going to die you and I
have heard
it for decades we've heard
we're gonna
freeze to death the population
mom the
tipping point and the Peak Oil
we're
gonna die for a million things
and now
climate change global warming
with the
most recent report we have 12
years
really effectively 10 before we
died and
young children are being
affected by
this
it's they hear it they read it
they hear
their parents talking about it
and even
though there's a high
likelihood a lot
of parents don't really think
we're
going to die they forget to put
the
disclaimer in so people hear
things and
it affects them it affects their
amygdalas it becomes large
you're all
gonna die in 10 years well so I
have
some examples and this is not
just kids
these are young adults and to
show you
what has happened with the
political
correctness social justice
warriors just
what's going on in in our
universities
and there's - I don't know if
you saw
either of these clips and I
don't know
how much I can play of each of
them but
they really show what society
has become
when the first takes place in a
convenience store with a
transgendered
woman who is very if you see
the clip
she's clearly still in
transition
because you can tell that she's
a woman
by her hoop earrings her mid
longish
hair a pink purse and that's
about it
and quite a beefy transgender
woman but
what happen
and that's I don't care I
really don't
that's fine and with this
however you
want to be dressed whatever but
the guy
who was behind the counter
I guess says yeah could you
guys wait a
second to a female and the the
walleye
whatever he thought it was and
the
transgender woman went apeshit
over this
and and you know because he
made a
mistake and this is where this
is the
problem I have and I think this
and this
is you know the the the issue
in society
in general we have that now in
the UK
where you can't miss gender or
dead name
or don't you you can you can
get in
trouble for it oh if you use a
transgendered person's previous
name
which usually would reflect a
name of
the opposite gender than they
are today
that's called dead naming that
is that's
probably why there's this new
trend in
non-specific namings
we did on the show I had that
list of
them that don't doubt neither
men or
women so you could name your
kid that
and then a you can keep the
names less
paperwork it's not a has not so
much of
a hassle if you want to change
okay
but I think when you when you
listen to
it you'll hear that you know
here's
someone who has problems with
this and
it's this is this is not the
way it's
supposed to go I don't think in
society
both of you fucking sir I
followed your
motherfucker kicking stuff I
need the
corporate numbers because I'm
going to
talk Paul mimics like the house
misgendered several times in
his store
I need your corporate number
now yes
yeah it's sad it really is
because look
when I was growing up 13 14 15
I had
weird hair and I looked like a
girl and
it would happen often so I want
say
how's your what's your
daughter's name
or what what do you say young
lady and
it's uncomfortable and it sucks
but I
didn't go nuts
it's like it okay accidents
happen this
we needs to work both ways and
that's
clearly not and I think that
somehow we
have this what is the word I'm
looking
for
you know this righteousness
like I have
the right of the right hostility
while it is hostility it's
almost
looking for trouble so the net
while you
don't look like a girl period
from the
sounds of it would you go with
that it
doesn't really know and you
want to be
call it just because you got
some hoop
earrings on nowadays doesn't
mean you
know that you're a woman or a
trans man
you guys wear those lease
around here
and so if you go in there and
then you
just just want trouble you want
to just
get the police or the security
guard
throw the guy out I don't think
I don't
think she was looking for
trouble but
this was really a triggering
this was a
complete triggering it's not
going in
looking for trouble it's just
him but
you have to love me ma'am may I
call you
a douche bag that would have
been better
now the next one which
interestingly
also involves the term I'm
gonna call
corporate which is I think
that's a new
thing we have so many noodle
boy type
operations that everything's a
chain and
we'll call corporate on you and
seems
like the threat du jour but
this happens
in a vape shop and this is
different
what happens here is a guy
comes in
baseball hat big hoodie with
Trump Trump
on it
it's not even like an official
thing
you've seen but just big big
letters
Trump red white and blue and he
comes in
he's looking for some vape
juice and or
a juice as I would call it and
the guy
behind the counter that I've
seen this
is a piece of the video you
know he's
okay I'm gonna get this for you
but then
he sees this guy is wearing a
trump
sweater and he refuses to serve
him and
wants him to leave and here's
what
ensues in Georgia and I've just
been
asked to leave the store he
greeted me
that was nice I did find the
item that I
wanted and then if you do not
stop
recording in my store I'm going
to call
the police and ask you to leave
now be
awesome
they'll be awesome Aten call
fox5 and
all sorts of stuff I'd like to
I would
like to purchase something
hearse please
do call your boss because I
will be
calling corporate go I am
looking
forward to releasing this video
because
I just want to purchase
something so
this is the guy behind the
counter he
absolutely goes insane he cannot
separate he just can't separate
anything
in his head from what's in
front of him
and he believes that this guy
embodies
evil Trump and everything evil
about him
I'm not a racist
people need these where's his
phone he's
wearing some bullshit got some
racist
bullshit off in a second
already not a fucking I'm not
serving
you wanted to have to do with
that
fucker um I don't know how I'm
here so
no whatsoever cops that on hot
leave
thanks because okay
dude go ahead take another
swing at it
make contact with me one more
time I'm
gonna make a deal with you I
want to
purchase that babe juice you

that for
my wife if you sell it to me I

don't
wanna fuck god Bless America
capitalism

freedom so
means shit you can sell it to me
fuck off come on help your
customer
this and I were laughing but I
find it
very sad this guy is insane
he's been made crazy he's been
made
crazy by the mainstream media
yes let's
just tell like it is
well CNN MSNBC and Fox and the
schools
well thank you for leading in
to my
third and final clip this is an
open
Madison Board of Education
session where
everyone gets five minutes you
can come
up and say whatever you want to
the
board it's in kind of like a
town hall
and our next speaker is a
university
educator and she's going to
educate us
on white liberalism he'll so
I'm an
educator at the University and
recently
I've been teaching my students
about the
connection between white
liberalism and
white supremacy and I'd like to
offer
just some working definitions
here so
that that we've been coming up
together
with my students what is white
liberalism white liberalism
means
valuing law and order and
protocol above
the lives of people in this
room we see
white liberalism and this is
just from
my students reflections
embodied through
the timer the police finish up
the
numbers the sign-up process the
stage
and the barrier all of these
signs
suggest that the law and the
decorum and
the civility of this
conversation is
actually more important than
what is
being said finger snaps finger
snap
another aspect of white
liberalism is
policing people's tones of
voice the
obsession with civility
refusing to hear
black and brown people when
they aren't
following white cultural norms
of
communication snaps snaps for
young
people speaking today to you
what
they're saying is a matter of
life and
death and I'm not sure what it
means to
you but I imagine it's a
combination
between a sense of duty being
able to
put a line on a resume feeling
like
someone needs to take charge
and feeling like you're the
best person
for the job and that's actually
where
the connection lands between
white
liberalism and white submit
reading
because it's by maintaining law
and
order and by maintaining
civility by
keeping your front lawn nice
and tidy
and by putting that all are
welcome in
our communities sign on your
front lawn
you are denying the fact that
all the
while you are with the other
hand
passing money to a deadly
institution
that police's with great
disparity and
causes tragic tragic harm to the
communities that are our
neighbors and
the communities that we
actually should
be building forward with so
telling
black and brown people to
please wrap up
suggest that their voices their
pain and
their stories are less
important than
the rules and that in and of
itself is
the place where white
liberalism turns
into white supremacy is because
white
supremacy is the accumulation
of these
aggressive messages that say
stay off
the grass mow your lawn act
respectable
pull your pants up right right
I was to
raise my voice and start using
god
forbid some swear words to you
I don't believe that it would be
received in quite the same way
as it
would be if a black or a brown
youth
were using those swear words so
here's
what I have to say fuck white
liberalism
and fuck white supremacy
thank you there you go now you
understand now you understand
why our
children are going insane this
is
teaching them this is teaching
them yeah
yeah by the way people are all
over the
place by the way it was Bill
Cosby a
black man who said pull your
pants up
but what was but he's a victim
of white
supremacy woman who I like no
school it
was that she teaches that she
was she
white yes of course
okay hello makes sense hello
wouldn't
make any sense if she wasn't
but I mean
to say it's keep off my lawn
that is
white supremacy now yeah well
your lawn
is white supremacy don't mow
your lawn
and meanwhile from the same
people who
will give you this in packaged
form I'm
talking about vice then vices
first of
all they're an advertising
agency then
you know they're not really a
news
outlet but if anything they are
a very
left-leaning news outlet and
they skew a
lot of things and I find them
very
untrustworthy artificially
create
situations so they have a a
series on
YouTube which I don't
understand well I
understand what it is but no
actually I
don't it's called kids telling
dirty
jokes and they take five and
six-year-olds and they have
them tell
dirty jokes and it's hilarious
they
think and it's a series and
it's on
YouTube as the half a million
views it's
a serious this is child abuse
who want
they just have kids smoking are
you
ready for you want to hear this
sure I
want to hear 30 seconds and
this is on
YouTube it's a future Sarah
Silverman
shouldn't be on YouTube YouTube
should
be that should be taken off
platform
vice immediate
immediately they won't do it
cuz this is
another liberal operation is
all things
a scam but this is child abuse
you can't
do this to children no no it's
horrible
ah I'm speechless over this yes
yeah I
mean there's a lot of things
you can do
anyway look my kid is gonna be
kind of
okay yeah should be alright but
your
kids may not be so the lookout
starting
2019 thinking about what's
happening
with your kids yeah and your
kids
especially they're going to
public
schools any school doesn't even
have a
school and it gets worse yeah
the whole
thing is ridiculous I mean the
schools
are we talked about how the
whole school
system in the United States is
just
falling to crap is because of
people
like that woman yeah this
imaginary hob
hob goblins out there white
supremacy
you know and it's a rule you
know you
want to mow your lawn as white
supremacy
black people like moves like a
clean
lawn they work with oh no the
only
reason they do this because of
white
supremacy a normal black person
this is
really insulting to blacks yes
of course
it is a real normal black
person can't
speak without cussing doesn't
want to do
their lawn they living into
hovels
because that's the way they
like it
they're just a bunch of bums
it's so
racist and so wrong just wrong
yeah and
we're just two voices blowing
in the
wind I don't I uh and it that
that to me
is like this should be
congressional
hearings over what's happening
here this
would reach something
all right well I think we're
wrapping
2018 I don't know if I have
anything
else on my where's my I have
some throw
I have to throw aways throw one
away
okay I'll throw two away one is
a cyber
attack that took place big news
times
and several other newspapers
across the
country fell victim to a cyber
attack
the attack cost printing and
delivery
problems which lets you
delivery delays
today the LA Times reports a
suspected
virus from outside the u.s. is
what
caused the problems the
newspaper says
the cyber attack created issues
for all
publications within its former
parent
company Tribune publishing as
well as
some papers printed at in LA
Times
plants no no attacks from
outside the US
like how they phrase that yes I
guess
they're trying to say the
Russians are
trying to now stop our
newspapers from
being printed really well I
guess which
is somehow going to stop our
world from
turning what sounds like the
whole thing
is just a glitch if you ask me
yeah it
sounds to me like someone
messed up I'm
just waiting for one thing to
happen
will happen then it's either
gonna be
with Apple or it's going to be
with
Microsoft would be even more
fun but
someone's gonna get in is gonna
mess
with the updates once someone
gets into
the update if you can get into
the
update sequence that's gonna be
a lot of
fun yes but you do the code you
have to
implant has to have a has to be
timed so
it doesn't start crashing
machines right
away because they don't do all
the
updates no in minute exactly we
don't
want marriage about a 30-day
cycle yeah
oh no he has to be shorter
because they
might discover it in time right
maybe
like a four day three day thing
start
updating and then three days
later they
all start going off I do have
one last
little thing from Hallie
Jackson because
I thought it was funny her her
phraseology this is the Hallie
Jackson
Trump politicizing border
deaths for the
first time president Trump is
acknowledging the death of two
migrant
children in government custody
but he's
blaming Democrats politicizing
the loss
of life tweeting the death of
children
or others at the border is
strictly the
fault of the Democrats and their
pathetic immigration policies
really
well he sent a tweet out
bitching about
something but the thing is
she makes it sound as though
this issue
has not been politicized and do
not lump
came along alright alright well
then I
just need a good one-liner she
had the
little girl telling jokes you
couldn't
understand her where she said
then this
guy's giggling over that was
sick you
must just be poking her with a
stick you
didn't hear what she says you
couldn't
hear her jokes but I could only
hear a
couple of them they were not
good yeah I
have stuff that is well-made
this is
just I think we should just do
one last
one
nah what do you want do you
want these
okay we end the 28:18 season
with the
future for our children
bill peacock built his San
Francisco dog
walking business through a
series of
branding steaks
most of them cowboy themed hi
there I'm
William peacock Wild Bill
peacock the
dog Wrangler aka the cowboy
poop fairy
princess after more than 15
years in the
business bill now has
competition from
on-demand walking services this
is your
dog he needs a walk while
you're at work
today
that's where rad comes in
people at
Rover comm where the dog care
second
only to you people successive
on demand
services like uber and lyft has
investors pouring millions of
dollars
into these pet apps wag alone
recently
got three hundred million
dollars from
Saudi Arabian investors these
companies
run the typical gig model hiring
contractors who are paid per
walk and
ordered on a phone
they take single dogs for 30 to
60-minute on leash walks I see
them
walking around the block with
their cell
phones out taking video of
their leash
walk around the block bill does
not send
his human clients videos of
their dogs
but a few years ago he tried to
grow his
business with the same kind of
contractor model that the app
companies
use we sort of exploded I had
six
vehicles with deer horns on the
roof
venes says some of his workers
complain
to California's Labor
Department like
many gay workers they felt they
were
employees not contractors which
means
they should get overtime paid
breaks and
protections like workers comp
bill says
he couldn't provide that they
find is
$18,000 and we got hammered and
it had
folded the business and we were
you know
the kind of business America
supposedly
wants husband and wife well the
independent contractor model
backfired
on Bill it's helping wagon
drover expand
into cities around the country
they've
been able to shield themselves
from the
kind of problems bill ran into
by making
their workers sign mandatory
arbitration
agreements standard practice in
the gig
world these obligate the
employees to
handle complaints behind closed
doors
there you go well Jay it's done
some
work for wag for her little
book on dog
walking yeah and the stories
are pretty
pretty horrendous it's the
future future
