hello assassination no agenda
curry from
northern Silicon Valley where
we're all
talking metric I'm John seed
Horace and
he weasels it in go ahead talk
about
metric okay here sorry I am I'm
trying
to print out the clip list yes
and I've
noticed in this point it's
cutting off
the bottom clip I don't know if
anyone's
noticed this but I've said we
did you
see clip to see oh yeah you
have it and
so I'm thinking yes I've
noticed this
several times yeah and so I'm
saying
well he should put more room at
the
bottom of the page before I
print and
that's just solve the issue but
I got on
my nerves
cuz the thing that doesn't just
doesn't
print I doesn't look right so I
start
looking at all the settings and
then all
of us for some reason does
epson printer
it has been set and I can
assure you
that in a million years I would
not have
done this it's been set for a4
paper
which is that horrible longhand
a goofy
looking paper that the
Europeans you
it's what I grew up with it
doesn't feel
bad to me no it feels awkward
to me and
and and I'd also don't like the
fact
that it has a name a4 instead
of a
dimension which i think is more
appropriate for anything such
as this
like eight-and-a-half by eleven
it's
eight and a half inches by
eleven inches
you know the size good what's
the size
of an a4 sheet I don't know
four four
separate you from reality
okay now the I'm reminded of
when I was
a kid in the 60s and then again
when I
was writing for I probably
think was in
full world
when I was a kid I was told in
high
school and uh uh you ever
metric get
used to wrong on metric metric
metric
metric and that didn't pan out
to say
the least and then so like 20
years
later it comes up in the
conversation
I'm getting all kinds of memos
remember
get ready to go to a4 paper the
United
States is gonna have to use a4
paper by
law because apparently you are
gonna
have to do anything with the
Europeans
to even talk to him or send him
a sheet
or a letter or a memo it has to
be on a4
paper or you'll be arrested
this is
probably one of the early
globalist
moves that that took place I
think so
well I so I'm saying okay for
paper is
dumb but okay because they you
know I
had you know everyone has 8 and
1/2 by
11 nothing came of it another
Bluff
which book which brings me to
brexit
which i think is it I think
this whole
thing that's gonna be some sort
of a
horrible disaster is also a
bluff okay I
I like that I like where you're
going
with this I got no clips well
luckily
luckily the show has a clip I
got a clip
I got a clip right here I got a
break
sit clip for you this was
something that
was not really picked up I saw
that
maybe you saw the president's
Rose
Garden speech about the national
emergency yeah he had quite a
little
preamble then he had some post
amble as
well which is always to me the
most holy
thing ambling isn't he yes he
had this
to say about the UK's the UK
and the US
as you probably have been
seeing and
hearing we're agreeing to go
forward and
preserve our trade agreement
you know
all of the situation with
respect to
brexit and the complexity and
the
problems but we have a very
good trading
relationship with UK and that's
just
been strengthened further so
with the UK
we're continuing our trade and
we are
going to actually be increasing
it very
substantially as time goes by
we expect
that the UK will be very very
substantially increased as it
relates to
trade with the United States the
relationship there also is very
good
yes very good very more very
bigger very
strong much more much much more
trade
the greatest trades ever we
trade we
Came we saw trod sawed traded I
guess we
cut some kind of deal
yeah I'm guess we're gonna see
a lot
more British jams and jellies
who I
don't really have an update
aren't they
in the middle of some
deliberation at
the moment in the brexit
process there I
think they're all in
straightjackets at
this point you know it's it's
kind of
sad because even if you go to
your own
news you're just looking for
some news
you can't really get it it's
just
unbreak sits it's like yeah
well you
know maybe a thing here or
there just
doesn't seem like they've got
anything
got nothing would make sense I
did learn
something about Europe actually
something really important
remember the
the news article that we had
maybe two
shows ago about the Italians
kicking the
French ambassador out yeah well
I think
it was mutual didn't do did his
begin
with the French recalling the
ambassador
to Italy ah French the
aggressors in
this deal no I think the
Italians were
the aggressors the Italian was
the
French because they worked
about the
Italians this unfortunate we
should know
all this they were worked about
the
Italians meddling in their
yellow vest
protests well that's not that
wasn't I
think we hear Francis oh yeah
it does
say this France is sending its
ambassador back to Italy
following the
biggest diplomatic dispute
between the
two countries since world war
ii said
european affairs minister blah
blah blah
blah they said a dramatic spat
well it
turns out this has nothing to
do with
the yellow vests nothing at all
it has
to do with France and their
involvement
in Africa and when I when I was
faced
more sense yeah when I heard
this this
report one of our producers
sent it to
me I was like wow of course we
knew this
I guess but had
maybe I didn't know it seems
kind of
stupid what we do know is that
the
Europeans the European Union in
particular France and Germany
they have
deals with Africa we've got the
the
European African what is it
it's some
kind of one of these big
compacts one of
these large agreements and they
have
always felt that the EU cannot
live
without Africa and vice versa
it turns
out it's really France and when
you hear
this report it's a head slapper
in
January at least Deputy Prime
Minister
luigi de maio accused France of
fueling
the migrant crisis but
controlling the
economies of former African
colonies
through the local currency the
CFA
France is one of those
countries that by
printing money for 14 African
states
prevents their economic
development and
contributes to the fact that the
refugees leave and then die in
the sea
or arrive on our coasts so this
is the
dispute Italy is saying in this
report
continues Italy is saying that
because
France really controls the
economy of
fort economies of 14 different
African
countries that it is because of
their
policy that is impoverishing
these
countries and that's why the
young men
are getting on boats and dying
in the
seas off the coast of Italy or
a lot of
them of course do make it the
now lumpa
deucey and the island on the in
the
south of italy and when you
listen to
the control france has over 14
countries
its wealth a little background
on this
we have to remember there's a
lot of
French colonies in Africa and
the old
clothes this is the bathroom
most of
Africa if they have a second
language
from their own French is French
yep we
all speak French well this is
the
background of the financial
part of the
colonization which we either
didn't know
had forgotten or is not taught
the
comment came days before the
start of
the presidential campaign in
Senegal and
the CFA is now part of the
debate with
each candidate taking positions
on the
matter to some arguing for it
others
against it like it Rizza sec
who asks
why should white people in
Paris take
decisions on their currency the
Central
African franc or the CFA
a fixed exchange rate with the
euro so
Europeans can bring euros to
Africa and
easily swap them for the CFA
but state
regulators make it difficult for
Africans to take CFA out of
their
country and swap them into
euros under
an arrangement dating back more
than 70
years Frances central bank
controls the
Treasury of all 14 countries
leaving
these nations with a limited
supply of
liquidity this guarantees a
certain
level of stability to the
currency
allowing our giant to shop at
her
favorite french supermarket
because
french companies profit from
this
arrangement that allows them
easy access
to a growing market of over a
hundred
million people but there's also
growing
resentment towards this
currency not
just here in Senegal but
throughout
francophone West Africa France
get out
the graffiti found in various
avenues of
the capital Sanya is behind the
messaging we want a common
currency but
for West African countries only
without
France's involvement why
couldn't we
have our own currency like
Morocco and
Algeria they are doing much
better than
us France is so far yet so
close while
money travels more freely than
people
Europe continues to attract
young
African men for Jan's family
the journey
is worth the risk
so because France is the
literal Federal
Reserve the central bank the
printing
press for this these two
African francs
they do in de facto control
what's going
on so they can't inflate their
currency
they can't deflate they can't do
anything well if they pay get
to the
euro and then they don't they
just went
one way exchange which is pretty
pathetic these countries can
just what
this country's moaning I mean
it's like
I'm ahead of a country I'm
saying well
why can't we be like Morocco
and Algeria
why don't you just become like
Morocco
and Algeria and cut yourself
loose from
this system yeah I think they
all looked
at the Libya
and Gaddafi's like a Eurodollar
kind of
or I'm sorry petro dollar scam
with a
with gold based yes which is a
little
more aggressive than just
saying hey
we're gonna just print our own
money
yeah and then all of a sudden
you have
ebola in your country and you
got troops
no i think they understand it's
not
gonna that simple just stand up
and say
no we're not gonna take it
anymore
the french are pretty
aggressive when it
comes to the shooting stuff up
in africa
well I mean the whole piece of
information I had no knowledge
of it
right and also what's
interesting is
that there's really there's the
CFA
franc the Central African franc
and then
you have the the West African
franc
ended if you will to see it as
a thing
they don't it's they do have two
different currency codes at the
xaf and
the XO f so XO f is for West
African
franc the xaf for the central
and those
two are incompatible so they're
not even
allowed to be exchanged against
each
other with obvious your obvious
reason
you can't have them be forming
a whole
block this is a piece of global
history
i was i'm ROFL ii undereducated
I wonder
how the French profit from this
you
don't do something like this
well the
report is currency now they can
go in
they get to buy up all the
beautiful
stuff with their euros it's
easily
interchangeable they go in they
build up
everything they want is a huge
thing I'm
sure the trade deficit is crazy
and so
they can get everything they
want for
the prices there I mean it
seems like a
typical banksters scheme then
well why
the Italians bent out of shape
all this
cuz of all the dead because the
dishwasher flow upon their
Shores
I think they have a point there
yeah
it's gonna get a point so yeah
I kind of
I kind of thought that was I'm
glad this
has been brought to light yes
new information yes new shit
has come to
light man exactly okay
well we had the I guess we were
pretty
much spot-on with the national
emergency
declaration declared by the
president we
weren't spot-on oh I think we
were yeah
tell me something how we were
okay well
we knew that he was going to do
something under u.s. code USC
10 code
284 right which he did and he
brought in
another previously funded and
pre-approved law I'm just I'm
trying I'm
just gonna get the bring us up
here
which was home on a second 50
USC 1631
and then as the third part he
called for
the national emergency actually
that is
the section to 808 of title 10
u.s. code
the first two do not require a
national
emergency to be enforced the
third one I
believe that's the 2808 does
require the
national emergency and in his
declaration he specifically the
president specifically states
that he
will be appropriating these
funds in
order so it starts with the
1601 and
then it goes to the 284 and
that's about
five billion together so that's
those
are just existing laws he
didn't need
any national emergency and the
third the
third one which will be
challenged in
the court of course that does
require
invocation of a national
emergency so he
the way I see what was done
here is
let's call the national
emergency have
everyone bitch and moan and
take take
the whole thing to court but
it's really
for the third piece the first
to go
unchallenged and can start
being used
immediately
ah well so partially I would
think he
would I think the other
approach would
have been just to do the other
without
the national emergency just
push those
two elements into play yeah but
I or
saying it was a distraction
it's what
you're saying is the national
emergency
itself was the distraction was
just
attention away from the fact
that he's
already got a bunch of money
raised yes
yes exactly and so that
probably won't
even be challenged as I'll be
looking at
the national emergency I did
like how he
positioned this it was one of
his best
run on up talking sentences
ever the
order is signed and I'll sign
the final
papers as soon as I get into
the Oval
Office and we will have a
national
emergency and we will then be
sued and
they will sue us in the Ninth
Circuit
even though it shouldn't be
there and we
will possibly get a bad ruling
and then
we'll get another bed ruling
and then
we'll end up in the Supreme
Court and
hopefully we'll get a fair
shake and
we'll win in the Supreme Court
just like
the ban they sued us in the
Ninth
Circuit and we lost and then we
lost in
the Appellate Division and then
we went
to the Supreme Court and we won
that it
was very interesting because
yesterday
they were talking about the ban
because
we have a ban it's very helpful
Madam
Secretary is that right without
the ban
would have a bigger problem we
have a
ban on certain no you get the
idea he
knows exactly what's going to
happen and
he doesn't care because it's
for the
last three billion and he got
an extra
billion through the the
legislation that
came from the House and the
Senate
yeah well that works out then
that's
pretty sly yeah and what's
interesting
is that everyone probably the
only show
that would point out this this
gambit
because they've talked about it
on PBS
mm-hmm and they and they did
have the
woman that I'll send or woman
come on
and she showed the different
monies and
where they're coming from but
she never
put two and two together like
you just
did yeah I'm sorry you know it
takes you
got to be kind of dumb to get
through
this stuff I think you overthink
overthink everything like most
of these
jamokes do that's when you get
confused
like this was NPR with wopo
journalist
Karen Tumulty Tumulty I'm not
sure what
her name is and she's trying to
explain
even just how a national
emergency is
you know it's it's not even
defined
properly this is something the
president's just don't do it's
you know
we have standards and we have
morals and
we have the traditions and well
listen
you know once again we're
reminded that
the real checks on presidential
power in
our system have always been
norms this
is interesting to me we have
absolute
checks and balances within our
three
branches of government
or this what would a OSI call
them the
three halls of Congress of
course we
have checks and balances but
she feels
this wopo journalist who would
know
feels that it's only based on
norms more
than laws and even Court
decisions and
Donald Trump is no respecter of
norms so
yes there are some checks built
into the
statute if what that what the
people who
wrote it figure just you know
if there
was enough political pressure
you might
be able to stop the president
because
you could pass a resolution in
one house
that would be privileged in the
other
and and that we could block it
but you
know it does not appear that
they would
have the votes to override a
presidential veto of that
legislation so
again I think the big lesson
the Trump presidency has been
how much
we have depended on norms to
prevent
presidential overreach and this
president you know is no
respecter of
those just very briefly remind
us what
you mean by norms you know give
us an
example this is my favorite
this is what
the clip is about just remind
us what
norms are you talking about now
it'll
take about 30 seconds to say
nothing
that is not being respected or
that's
being cast aside well it's not
in every
level you even look at you know
the fact
that this country will most
kind of the
international systems the
alliances that
we have but we see the
president going
out and you know talking about
pulling
out of treaties and getting out
of NATO
where the norms later when you
know just
presidential power I think in a
way that
we have never seen at least in
our
lifetimes isn't that great she
does this
whole thing about the norms and
the
checks and bad that she can't
give one
example no wopo wobble wobble
wobble
wobble wobble wobble now in case
anyone's interested I'm sure
this has
been done in the mainstream if
you
really want to know what
national
emergencies have been quite saw
one I
didn't clip it I saw one one
news to
news program was showing
previous
national emergencies you know
they show
bush with a with around contra
I'm not
quite sure what what Clinton
but they
showed for Clinton then they
showed 911
for Bush too and then Obama
swine-flu
like that's the only flu is
declared a
national emergency by Obama
that's what
it let me see we'll take a look
believe
that well let's work backwards
June 26
2008 continuing certain
restrictions
with respect to North Korea so
that was
an
national emergency it's still
in effect
Lebanon in 2007 still in effect
blocking
property of certain persons in
the
Democratic Republic of Congo
which is
still in effect
Cote d'Ivoire which was
terminated in
2016 Liberia which was revoked
actually is all stuff for
foreign
countries in 2004 ribbiting
export of
certain goods to Syria still in
a
foreign country related in
Mexico yes
but we don't border on Syria
the rocks
are another poverty
Rasika since we're bordering on
there
would be more of a national
emergency
then Syria well yes but you
know you
know orange man bad well we've
heard
nothing but bullcrap about this
being
horrible over reagent and let
me play
this clip this is David Brooks
and this
is on the you know the PBS
Newshour
where they bring him and
shields Eve old
droopy dog looking guy and they
put the
two of them on there's supposed
to be
two perspectives and it's
always one
perspective it's the same hate
Trump
perspective which is hurting
the show
they need to have somebody when
they ask
somebody why did Trump do this
I want to
hear somebody that can explain
it the
way you just did or the way
somebody who
maybe thinks Trump is not a
horrible
orange man explain things to
give us a
balanced a kind of a balanced
look at
things so we have a balance you
know one
guy that's Pro and one guys
against this
which would be not two guys who
are well
and let's just make this very
clear we
do not expect this from cable
news we do
expect it from the public
broadcast
system from nothing David okay
well
anyway so this is Brooks are
asking him
about this I just listened to
this
response this is giving us no
balance
whatsoever the president's
announcement
today that he didn't get enough
money
for to beef up the border as he
wanted
and therefore he's declaring a
national
emergency so that he can spend
up to
eight billion dollars on it
yeah well
this is awful you know I don't
think it
as a
to do with this any invasion as
he
claimed I think he lost the
government
shutdown so he's giving himself
a
performance trophy so he can
say I'm a
winner I think there's more
about his
psyche than anything actually
in the
country and it is it is a
complete
violation of any constitutional
position
that any liberal or any
conservative
should believe in the the
Constitution
clearly states that allocations
and
appropriations are the job of
Cosmo I
love all these constitutional
scholars
who really don't know what l
here it is
Obama 2009 national emergency
with
respect to the 2009 h1n1
influenza
pandemic which was never
terminated by
the way and I Rex it was
reading I was
reading Bush's stuff Obama has
some
really good ones so that was
the first
was the swine flu then it was
Somalia
Libya then oh and here's the
here's the
one that Trump is using blocking
property of transnational crime
organizations and that has been
continued then we go to Yemen
then we go
to all interesting 2012 blocking
property of the government of
the
Russian Federation relating to
the
disposition of highly enriched
uranium
extracted from nuclear weapons
which was
revoked in 2015 just in time
for them to
do that Iranian one deal then
we have
Ukraine then we got South Sudan
then we
got a Central African Republic
I don't
remember that one
then we have Venezuela which
started
2015 blocking property and
suspending
entry of certain persons
contributing to
the situation in Venezuela
and 2015 blocking the property
of
certain persons engaging in
significant
malicious cyber enabled
activities and
the last one he did was Burundi
so you
know this has been used a lot
it's just
never for Mexico apparently or
deny at
least not specifically and it
still
isn't you specifically for that
it's for
the transnational crime for
drugs and
human trafficking and that's
you know
it's it's a big distraction
everyone's
running around so yeah but Isis
this
might be Fox let me see what
they were
saying the Constitution
provides that
Congress can legislate on on
these types
of issues and they have issued
in 1976
the national emergencies act
there is
nothing in that act that would
say that
these two signing this bill as
well as
declaring a national emergency
act and
let me remind you that the
president has
declared the national emergency
under
current law before he is
signing the new
bill so ex post facto in the
Constitution would dictate this
national
emergency was declared under
previous
law not the new bill he could
well that
was pretty good actually
that might have been Fox yeah
MV MSNBC you know there was
some Jim
Acosta and it was actually kind
of sad I
didn't clip it just it made me
sad he
had the angel moms and angel
families
which I have to say I find this
this use
of gold stars and angels for
parents of
children who have died either
is serving
in our military or for any
other reason
it irks me and I'm not can't
really put
my finger on your gold star mom
know
your sets the whole thing is
sad but
then they get a labeled gold
star you
know we're next we'll have
diamond moms
I know what at what else are we
gonna
have for the next group of
people whose
children are die and I'm anyway
so he
had the he had those he had the
there's
parents there and then Jim
Acosta
standing up and saying well you
know
crime is down and and as you
know and
there was that old one where
you know
people who are born here commit
more
crime
I'm than the illegal immigrants
yeah
bunch of criminals and then and
Trump
says hey hey aren't you mom
stand up and
look at him it was really
uncomfortable
yeah it was felt the on one
hand it felt
abusive on the other hand you
know yes
go there and show that what
happened to
you and I guess what he should
have but
the president should have said
is you
know if it was your kid Acosta
how much
is that worth 1 billion 5
billion 8
billion would you care if was
your kid
but the president never does
that the
president could do that that's
kind of
you know not what his style is
what
happened these moms stand up his
pathetic - but I think the
better way he
could have done this whole
thing and he
should have been doing it this
way the
whole time I don't get why he
has and
why he's got advisors and we
talked
about it before pull up those
old clips
of Nancy and Feinstein and
everybody in
between going on and on and on
in the
past about how we need a wall
and do
what Ross Perot used to do it
show
examples right but in this case
when
you're declaring the emergency
that has
no bearing on the emergency
anyway MSNBC
and this is a clip to keep an
evergreen
they did confirm the actual
statistic of
crime of illegal immigrants
versus
citizens and Julia before we
let you go
here as you and I were
listening to this
you report on the Department of
Homeland
Security there's nobody perhaps
in our
network who knows some of these
facts
and stats better than you there
was a
striking moment during that news
conference when the president
got into a
back-and-forth with the
reporter about
whether or not he believed his
own
administration's statistics
when it came
to issues of immigration and
you've been
listening yeah so I've got a
lot of
statistics right here so let's
just look
at what the reality is there it
is true
that more crimes are committed
by non-us
citizens than by US citizens
that data
was all taken out of Texas
that's one of
the only states that actually
breaks it
down between immigrants and non
immigrants but that is exact
based on
that
okay how inconvenient with
everything
how inconvenient thanks MSNBC
we always
appreciate your fact-checking
well this listen to how
democracy now it
covers this thing cuz they hate
it of
course and they did that guy
clip two
clips but the one serve this
rundown of
Thursday budget vote both the
House and
Senate passed the measure
Thursday that
came out of the bipartisan
conference
committee earlier this week the
bill
includes nearly one point four
billion
dollars to build 55 miles of
new border
barriers out of Steel far less
than the
five point seven billion dollars
requested by President Trump
Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
took to
the Senate floor Thursday to
announce
president Trump's decision to
sign the
spending bill as some had
speculated and
many Democrats feared McConnell
confirmed Trump's plan to
declare a
national emergency an attempt to
circumvent Congress for his
five point
seven billion dollars in border
wolf
funding I've just had an
opportunity to
speak with President Trump and
he would
say to all my colleagues
indicated he's
prepared to sign the bill he
will also
be issuing a national emergency
declaration at the same time
and I've
indicated to him that I'm going
to
prepare I'm going to support the
national emergency declaration
so follow
my colleagues the president
will sign
the bill we'll be voting on it
shortly
McConnell's valid supporting
one what
happened to her did she's
choked she
choked right there you heard it
yeah on
the bill we'll be voting on it
shortly
McConnell's vow of support came
despite
reports that he warned Trump
against the
move saying it could split the
Republican Party and prompt a
resolution
disapproving the emergency
declaration
Democrats quickly condemned the
news
this is House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi did I
say I was final challenge I may
that's
an option and we'll review our
options
but it's important to know that
when the
president declares this
emergency first
of all it's not an emergency
what's
happening at the border it's
manatorian
challenge to us the president
has tried
to sell a bill of goods to
America but
putting that aside just in
terms of the
president making an end run
around
Congress Trump is set to speak
this
morning at 10 a.m. if he
declares a
national emergency the consumer
rights
nonprofit public citizen is
valid legal
action against him saying the
move quote
will constitute an outrageous
abuse of
power perhaps the most
dangerous yet by
the unstable and increasingly
autocratic
president Trump most dangerous
yet they
have this guy come on who runs
this
operation - public - whatever
it's
called and I just think he
tries to coin
a new way of describing the
wall and
this is part - this is kind of
interesting see if you can
catch this so
explain what this national
emergency
resolution would do well we
don't know
and we're not going to know
until the
president acts but it seems as
what he's
gonna claim is that there is a
national
emergency at the border and that
therefore he can move money
around that
has not been appropriated for
the
purposes of building the racist
wall -
in fact there is a legal
structure in
place for what it for how to
declare an
emergency and president does
have
authority under other laws to
move money
around if in fact there is a
national
emergency but we're gonna sue
again
based on what he does but
challenging
the idea there's an emergency
and also
challenging whether the way
he's moving
the money is legal under the the
statutes that exist but the
real big
issue is going to be whether
people turn
out in droves to protest this
and say
not only do we not want a wall
but we
don't want the president
declaring
emergencies to get around the
will of
Congress if this president is
able to
declare an emergency to build a
wall
around a fictitious claim of
urgency
against the express interest of
the can
spread sixth intent of Congress
there's
really no limit to what he
might do in
the future with an emergency
declaration
so if you're white and you
climb the
wall it's okay because the wall
is on
your side yeah racist wall
stuck with
that moniker because he def did
a couple
of times
three times ladies all that's
different
you know what Nancy Pelosi has
done and
you know cuz she's trying to
follow with
this meme of somehow hey we're
number
one in the Constitution it's
all about
us first and we only we can
appropriate
the money and she sent around a
spreadsheet with about 400
different
entries of pieces of money that
will now
no longer go to of course
funding our
men and women who fight so
bravely for
us and like some maintenance
issue for
the f-35 which I don't think is
in full
service as like some of that's
being
used and you know so they're
trying that
this is this is not a winning
strategy I
don't think people care about
about it
this way like oh well it was
supposed to
go to two you know one screw in
the
Joint Strike Fighter right now
so I
think she just gave it up and
lost let
it go well I had I have one
last clip
which segues into something
else unless
you want to talk more about
have one
funny clip from Menendez yes
Senator Bob
Menendez Democrat from New
Jersey he
seemed to when this came down
he was
being interviewed if he just
went off
his rocker the deputy director
of Isis
says a cap on beds and his
words would
be quote extremely damaging to
the
public safety of this country
how do you
respond the reason that they
are already
8,000 over their budgeted
amount so
they're violating the budget is
because
of the president's
zero-tolerance policy
that has turned everyone
regardless of
their record into a criminal
for example
if you cross the border
undocumented he
has now made you a criminal he
is
creating that problem by
turning people
away who legitimately seek
asylum if a
person has a driving while
under the
influence violation he is now
making
that saying that that's a
criminal what
we have seen and that's just
outrageous
these are not the norms that we
stand
for and in the past under for
example
President Obama yeah he's
saying he's
know if you can if you eye is
not
he's saying if you're illegally
here and
you get caught while driving
under the
influence now you're a criminal
he's
making you a criminal orange
man bad
what am I gonna do yeah that's
that's
what he's saying
I know it's jaw-dropping
I see it in what can you do
this is a
senator this is senator from
New Jersey
yeah all right all right so I
have the
now I got a thing I want to
segue into
something it's which is a law
educational we do this on the
show once
in a while and I thought it
would be a
good time to do this because it
cops up
on a PBS report about the wall
with the
Allison door a woman that one
who just
replaced kind of replaced Ifill
although
she doesn't have the chops her
name is
Allison Dora that's her name
Isha it
almost sounds like a think-tank
when you
say the Alcindor woman I'm like
what's
think-tank is that there's her
name okay
got it
so this is the huge play this
is wall
money acts PBS okay I could do
the wall
over a longer period of time I
didn't
need to do this but I'd rather
do it
much faster we had certain
funds that
are being used at the
discretion of
generals at the discretion of
the
military some of them haven't
been
allocated yet and some of the
generals
think that this is more
important I was
speaking to a couple of them
they think
this is far more important than
what
they were going to use it for I
said
what were you going to use it
for and I
won't go into details but
didn't sound
too important to me so you me
hearing
that where exactly is the
president
pulling this money from well the
president is saying that I know
best how
to use these military funds to
keep
Americans safe so I want to
walk you
through where he's getting the
eight
billion dollars that he's going
to
initially be using to fund a
wall on the
southern border he's going to
be getting
one point three seven five
billion
dollars from the Congressional
Deal that
Congress passed this week to
avert a
government shutdown he's going
to be
getting six hundred million
dollars from
the Department of Treasury
forfeiture
fund that's money that that
it's gotten
from seized and vacated assets
he's also
gonna be getting
2.5 billion dollars from the
Department
of Defense counterdrug
activities that's
drugs she's or she's or money
he's also
going to be using 3.6 billion
dollars
from military construction
money and
that's Defense Fund money
that's also
from the Department of Defense
and all
of this is to fund an initial
234 miles
of wall on the southern border
the White
House stressed today that this
is just
the beginning they could ask
for more
money
Thanks it could ask for more
money they
have the ISO of if you want to
hear it
again just yeah yeah yeah could
actually
money jeez you know I heard
Jordan
Peterson the other day say
anyways
that's a professor attention
because of
what she said earlier so it
perked me up
when she said gotten got an axe
she's very unprofessional for
at this
level of broadcasting I'm just
gonna put
it maybe I mean nobody wants to
say
anything about the woman
because she's
you know black but she's
unprofessional
and she also is involved in all
kinds of
political stuff she's giving
speeches
and a lot of rallies and things
like
that she shouldn't be out there
like
like that at all but to give
her the
benefit of the doubt on axe
which i
think is not a broad kappa
broadcasters
should accept the use of the
use of that
word that way but it's legit
what now I
have I have a long thing this
is three
minutes but it's very
educational this
is the NPR lecture on axe
versus oh my
god okay hold on a second so
several
years ago we started
identifying this
popping up amongst white
Millennials and
it came from urban America let
me ask
you something yo bro let me ask
you
something
mainly black but it traveled
all over
but I would say really mainly
urban
blacks and you know and of
course that
carried on to you know people
in the
mainstream like jay-z and and
you know a
lot of the hip hoppers all say
axe and
you hear it in award shows them
in and
you see it on television and
now you're
gonna tell me I guess it's okay
well no wait I'm not gonna say
it's okay
and I don't think it's okay and
the
broadcast since that's for sure
should
not be on a news show but in
fact it's
okay about the word ask it's not
uncommon to hear that word
pronounced
acts too many that's a
mispronunciation
but can I just guess can I kind
of just
guess I'm going to guess that
you're
guessing well I'm gonna guess
what this
what this clip is about could
this clip
be about the sad fact that many
people
are dyslexic and go untreated
no no as
in piers Shireen Marysol merace
reports
X is as old as English itself
ax has
gotten a bad rap if you say ax
it's
often assumed you're poor
you're black
you're uneducated New York
City's first
african-american school's
chancellor put
the word on his list of speech
demons to
be eradicated it's the most
noticeable
term in african-american isms
that's
Gerard McClendon education
professor and
the author of axe or ask the
african-american guide to
better English
McClendon says his parents
taught him
there's a time and a place to
use axe
because they were well aware of
it
stigma when you're with your
little
friends you can speak any way
you want
to speak all right well the
minute you
get in a spelling bee or in a
job
interview switch it up quick
I've taught
my children to do that as well
if it
happens four times in a sentence
probably gonna get two axis
tasks sketch
comedy duo keegan-michael key
and Jordan
Peele joke that because they're
mixed-race they're constantly
switching
back and forth from acts staff
yeah when
a cop comes up to you death not
if you
got four asks and that's it
you're gonna
go for it on my way officer ask
whatever
you want to ask me I'm more
than happy
to answer officer is that the
only
question you wanted to access
I'm Jesse
Schell our
I'm the president of the
American
dialect Society I believe I'm
here to
talk about the historical
pronunciation
of Acts for ask has been used
since the
eighth century and derives from
the old
english verb axion that the
people who
use the ax pronunciation are
using the
pronunciation that has been
handed down
in an unbroken
for a thousand years it is not
a new
thing it is not a mistake it is
a
regular feature of English
Chaucer used
ax it's in the first complete
English
translation of the Bible the
Coverdale
Bible acts and it shall be
given so at
that point it wasn't a mark of
people
who weren't highly educated or
people
who were in the working class
that
Stanford linguist John Rickford
Rickford
says it's hard to pinpoint why
Acts
stopped being popular but
stayed put in
the American South and the
Caribbean
where he's originally from over
time it
became a kind of marker of
identity
Indians in South Africa use axe
black
Caribbeans use axe African
Americans use
axe Rickford says it's the
Empire
striking back taking language
that has
been imposed and making it your
own I
don't think any linguists at
least is
advocating that you get rid of
your
vernacular because you need it
in a
sense for your soul Rickford
says
there's nothing technically
wrong with
axe but he adds linguistic
versatility
is ideal interchanging axe and
ask
depending on the setting
code-switching
he says few know about axes
Chaucerian
roots so take qian peels advice
when
getting pulled over on officer
ask
whatever you want to ask me I'm
more
than happy to answer officer
Srimati so
Mirage II NPR news hmm well
this is
interesting
yes the black urban experience
apparently is Chaucerian
Chaucerian from
Chaucer that's where he used
axe all the
time hmm well so what this does
is it
says that old old old uses of
words are
all you ye olde use of words
are that
can be considered valid yeah so
if I can
say hey that's gay then that
will be
okay cuz I just mean it's happy
and
funny and etc if it was happy
and funny
if it was happy and funny I
don't know
about this man and by the way
the white
that so this is an interesting
example
because while you may have a
black driver say ask away
officer and
then maybe accidentally say
anything
else you want to axe the white
driver
would say yes
anything you want ossifer see
they have
their own issues super white
guys say
awesome for one they yes well
this
brings me to the islands since
it came
up good by the way that was
good John
I'm still gonna say ask if you
don't
mind and I would still chastise
anyone
for saying ax is reachable I
don't think
it's a it's certainly in
broadcast let's
put it that way yeah that's the
woke way
we had this clip of April Ryan
and Don
Lemon arguing about the
blackness of
camel Kamala Harris its back to
Kamal I
guess
Kamala canal like come on I'm
all about
you say Kamala I say Kamala now
as you
know I've stayed it's a it's
fine she's
brown she's black whatever but
she's not
african-american because she was
although she was born here she
was
raised in in Ottawa her father
is from
Jamaica her mother is from
India she's a
Tamil so you know she really
does not
have african-american blood in
her and
this began Don Lemon takes my
side of
the argument
oddly enough April Ryan trips
out about
it and starts to bring in all
kinds of
stuff about Jamaican slavery a
review of
that clip let me finish hold on
I'm not
falling into a trap about it
when she
imposed on her lineage many
Africans
landed on in Jamaica and all
these other
Caribbean islands so she
couldn't do
because merica mixed with other
words
machines because not America
but she is
now I got it first I got a note
from Sir
John EB who says excuse me the
history
of slavery and oppression is
just as
long in Jamaica as it and
bloody as it
is in the US after the populace
rose up
and claimed independence that
people are
kept down by leaders who were
in bed
with the economic hitman F Don
Lemon
hardship
I write on the flag in Jamaica
gold
recalls the shining Sun black
reflects
hardships and green represents
the land
the flag colors are gold green
and black
the Rastafarian flag adds red
for the
bloodshed this guy is an
ignorant a hole
and the well that's true wasn't
really
on topic until I received this
just this
morning it is a chapter and it
may be
the hole may just be an essay I
don't
know it was a I think it's from
a book
the title of the book is
reflections of
a Jamaican father does this
remind you
of anything
yeah it sounds like Obama's book
reflects yes reflections of a
Jamaican
father by Donald J Harris
this is Kamala's dad now if
this if we
were in on a mainstream news
program
this might actually be some
pretty big
news when I'm gonna read to you
do not
expect to hear this anywhere
but here I
will read only two paragraphs
as a child
growing up in Jamaica I often
heard it
said by my parents and family
and
friends member we are
commenting you to
retain the deep social
awareness and
strong sense of identity which
that
grassroots Jamaican philosophy
fed in me
as a father I naturally sought
to
develop the same sensibilities
in my two
daughters born and bred in
America
Kamala was the first in line to
have it
planted Maya came two years
later and
had the advantage of an older
sibling as
a mentor it is for them to say
truthfully now not me what if
anything
of value they carried from that
early
experience into adulthood my
one big
regret is that they did not
come to know
the very to know very well the
two most
influential women in my life
miss
Chrissy and miss iris my roots
you see
go back within my lifetime to my
paternal grandmother miss
Chrissy
nee Christiana brown descendent
of
Hamilton Brown who was on
record as a
plantation and slave owner and
founder
of Browns town her
great-grandmother was
a slave owner
what Kamala Harris's
great-grandmother
was a slave owner and
plantation owner
in Jamaica and the founder of
Browns
town she her roots are
slaveholders
this is good there's no clip how
fantastic is this oh that's
fantastic
fantastic and there's even a
picture a
picture of her and there's a
picture of
her with her with a grandma
koala with
Grandma iris
should be rousting camel uh from
Hamilton if she ever shows up
for a
presentation hey it's in the
show notes
oh wait a minute actually I
should make
sure I don't have that oh yeah
I got to
change one thing there I don't
want the
email address exposed where I
got it
from obviously but yeah there
you go
Kamala Harris
great-granddaughter of
slave owners in Jamaica that
kind of
summarize that'll come up so it
will not
owe $1 bet right now this will
not
become a thing no one will ever
hear
about it after this I'll make
that a $10
bet that's this little beyond
my means
we're trying to buy a house
let's do 5
$1 bill though don't you only
one still
that you were gonna send me
crisp
one-dollar bill yeah well
that's really
the band's now all right all
right
there you go that was my big
reveal for
the day that was good that's
very funny
it's not funny it's just great
yes well
it's funny too because well
we'll see
we'll see how I mean some of
these
people out there man that like
how well
you can hear this this is
Elizabeth
Warren who is so tone deaf and
colorblind to her situation
that she
doesn't even have an answer
ready for a
heckler now when a heckler when
you're
doing a stump speech and you're
running
for president dr. sponsors
you're
supposed to use you know if
someone's
like hey why did you lie about
being as
Cherokee you should have an
answer she
doesn't she thinks that every
what you
think everyone's vetted that
come to
these rallies and you know yeah
well
here's a here's one example I
don't know
how well you can hear it but
you get the
general idea introduce myself
Who I am a
little bit of my story so why'd
you lie
it keeps yelling of course
people
surround the guy right away but
then she
keeps going it's like talking
to a group
of kindergartners on career day
no I
think you nailed it I've always
wondered
what is wrong with this woman
she talks
as if she's the schoolteacher
introducing herself to a new
class of
fourth graders or fifth graders
yeah and
then when they get uppity she
goes be
easy be easy it's take it easy
Liz be
easy she's no she's very much
like a
marm a schoolmarm man now what
I have
lots of questions I've gotten
together
my handicapping handicap list
yeah you
know she's on the bay list but
she can
you know can you even can you
even use
the term handicap for anything
to be a
for horses you can't form any
betting
phenomenon no it's one of those
words
man
[Music]
I wanted to start with today
and notice
that we get that idiot out of
here now
that would be too much like
Trump that
would be wrong we have norms in
this
country
norm norm you have known were
sitting at
the bar yeah we got norms in
this
country yeah I had no other
gaps that I
found from any other any other
people
well I've got a couple I get
the one
clip that I wanted to get out
of the way
which is do you know what's
going on in
Haiti right now it's not being
much
reported yeah I of course I've
been
following it and even producers
who
track Haiti for us also been
kind of
coming up empty-handed
other than the main question
what
happened to the hundreds of
millions of
dollars the Clintons raised all
the good
stuff they did the all that all
the
people they put into government
the
baseball making factory the
basket
weaving factory the new Clinton
hotel
and resort what happened all of
that but
this apparently they've gotten
come up
with a scheme to marginalize
those
numbers because it seems as if
Venezuela
is now the bad guy oh three
billion
dollars for more than a week
the island
nation of Haiti has been rocked
by
street violence as protesters
angry over
soaring inflation and government
corruption have demanded the
ouster of
President jovenel moise
demonstrators have been
blocking roads
stoning emergency vehicles and
destroying businesses the US
State
Department has raised the
travel warning
to the country advising
citizens not to
travel there and is asking all
non-emergency US personnel and
their
families to leave Jacqueline
Charles is
the Caribbean correspondent for
the
Miami Herald and she joins us
now from
Miami explain a little bit more
about
what these protests are about
well these
protests are basically about
two issues
corruption and the economic
turmoil that
is hitting hating currently
let's start
with the issue of corruption
patients
today are saying that they are
fed up
with decades of the
in corruption and they are
particularly
pointing to a program that was
financed
by Venezuela it was a discount
oil
program called Petrocaribe
in which Haiti receives oil at a
discount price from Venezuela
they
didn't have to pay it back
until over 25
years and they received it at a
1%
interest rates but that savings
was
supposed to be used for social
programs
to ameliorate the situation of
the
population in terms of
healthcare
childcare education you name it
that was
the feeling housing after the
earthquake
while almost 10 years after that
earthquake Haitians say they do
not see
where that money has been spent
and
today they owe the country olds
Venezuela almost two billion
dollars and
so for months we have seen
Haitians on
social media and in the country
demanding to know where is the
money
where is the Petrocaribe money
the
inflation rate is 15 percent the
government's deficit is eighty
nine
point six million dollars and
their
local currency the good is in a
freefall
against a strong US dollar so
today what
we've seen is that four days
now over a
week they have had this country
on
lockdown no schools no
businesses
nothing is moving and so where
is this
going what's gonna happen next
that's
what's uncertain unclear at
this moment
is it's almost almost feels
like hey we
let's get rid of all the crap
while we
can it's like if anyone
uncovers hate
he'll yeah bill if anyone
really finds
out what went on in Haiti and
what we
really did there it's gonna be
bad so
maybe we should defend his way
the
things we can we blame
something on
Venezuela I get the same sense
but that
it's like an economic hitman
thing where
somebody has schemed this whole
thing
because I never heard any of
this and
the next thing you know and now
apparently there are did that
the second
half of this report is only a
little bit
of the whole thing anyway and
this guy
who does the Saturday PBS
Newshour Harry
Srinivasan is really the best
guy they
have and they should they
pushed him out
of the regular weekly show so
they could
have pretty much a bunch of em
chores in there and this guy's
really a
very very professional
character and I
like his Saturday show a lot
better than
during the week it's only a
half an hour
to the news hours a half hour
and he
does much more in-depth stuff
and it
comes up with things I've never
heard of
who's but they go on with this
and they
they have some people have up
MIT people
look from this you know that
live there
saying I can get on my house
I'm just
friend we get shot he was
implicated in
some of this corruption is
President now
on the hook for some of the
corruption
that happened perhaps even in
the
administration before him well
yes this
president here he was brought
into power
under the banner of PhD K that
is the
party of former president of
Michel
Martelly and his party is very
well
implicated in this corruption
as well as
people who are among the
advisers to the
president even the president's
former
chief of staff the President
himself has
been named in a report an
initial report
that was issued by the
government
auditors in terms of his
company having
received some of this funding
from
Venezuela but I have to tell
you there
are real frustrations and real
anger in
Haiti especially by the young
people and
when I say young I'm talking
about
individuals in their 20s 30s
and 40s who
today see no hope they see no
way out
they increasingly not believing
in the
ballot box and so there's a
huge apathy
when it comes to elections and
so you've
seen this that even the woman
on the
street is selling charcoal
every time
something goes wrong she's
saying you
know what it's because the
Petrocaribe
but the unfortunate reality is
today
that prices have gone up there
is a
brewing humanitarian crisis
hospital
zone not having the supplies
that they
need and once this is all over
the
question is even if
presidential vanilla
louise doesn't leave will he be
able to
govern and if he does go what
is the
plan of the opposition we have
not heard
anything from them in terms of
how they
are going to alleviate the
fundamental
issue which is the economic
crisis that
the Haitian population is
enduring right
now this is the so it's almost
a replay
if you recall Haiti had a very
odd
earthquake which only really
affected
Haiti nothing attached to Haiti
it was very shallow and
immediately the
Clintons
in there everywhere building
stuff
bringing in their buddies with
cellular
networks for micro payments
creating
this this whole deepwater port
for
cruise ships it's almost like a

just like I was we got all
kinds of
stuff going on it's gonna be
horrible we
come in we start to fix it
there's here's a clip from 2015
it's one
of the more recent when we
recent ones
we have about the Clinton
Clinton
Foundation and Haiti more than
ten
billion dollars was donated
internationally to help rebuild
Haiti
but much of that money is gone
maybe
this is the problem only nine
hundred
homes were built and they were
not even
built in the area of fort
Westwood
earthquake took place they'll
be in the
northern part of the country so
much
inconsistencies so much
irregularity as
I'm talking to you right now
they are a
hundred thousand people in
tents in
power plants well in Harlem
people raise
their voices to call attention
to the
missing money this protest
outside of
the offices of the Clinton
Foundation
which helped lead the
reconstruction
fund these people they are
still in very
difficult conditions still
living under
tents while Bill Clinton and
his cronies
they waste this money the
foundation
says progress is being made
particularly
in Haiti's economic and tourist
industries but many Haitian
Americans
say contracts were awarded to
non
Haitian companies the Capitals
main
hospital is still not fixed and
cholera
is on the rise the Twitter of
the
expansion is something that
people live
with on a daily basis the
suffering in
Haiti continuing to dominate the
conversation
five years later yeah I'm gonna
you know
I'm gonna do this week before
the net
before Thursday I'm gonna get
together
cuz if so this used to be my
beat we
studied Haiti very intently and
it was
years before the mainstream
really did
anything about it all it's like
earthquake bad move on we had
been with
sweet Micky Martelli come in
which was
the Clinton stooge and then he
got
kicked out and they kept trying
to bring
other people in to become
president and
there was ten billion dollars
raised
which clearly did not go into
the
economy
no it disappeared like they
said in that
report
in 2015 yeah yeah yeah it's I
really
don't know much else that other
than it
sounds exactly just like a
repeat a
repeat of what was going on
then that's
actually if you look at the
videos it
looks a lot worse well I
promise to have
some some older clips and maybe
we can
start piecing this together by
Thursday
but now I'd like to thank you
for your
courage and say in the morning
to you
the man who put the seen
cholera John
[Music]
and in the morning to the trawl
room no
agenda stream com that's where
the
trolls love to hang out on
Thursdays and
Sundays and they are very
helpful I
suggest you go by even early
before the
show starts there's always
something fun
going on with our pre streams
people
spinning tunes it's good now
that's no
agenda stream comm and if
you're a troll
you'll feel right at home also
in the
morning - Darren O'Neill who
did a pre
stream this morning at in the
troll room
he brought us the artwork for
episode 11
12 1112 we titled that L valve
a door
with a V for valve adore and
valentine
day and it was a just kind of a
nice
valentine day image I heart no
agenda as
in the old I heart New York
logo and it
had something and pretty about
it that
we enjoyed and we hid the spies
did and
we thank Darren O'Neil and all
of the
artists who diligently upload
their
wares as a part of our value
for value
network to help us with the
show because
whenever you have new album
artwork that
shows up in the podcast apps
and then
the podcast store and wherever
else you
see podcasts it's noticeable
and we
appreciate it
no agenda are generated are
calm thank
you again Darren O'Neill all

been a
listener for six months and
since
unfiltered ended uh though I
know an
unfiltered guy good to show it
that
which was the competitor this
show
I wouldn't say competitor I
think it was
accepted way it was done it was
different it was an editor they
usually
used our clips they used our
bell they
used our jingles they used a
lot of our
format it wasn't a competitor
it was
flattery
it was flattery it was the way
he could
compare the way Henry's
hamburgers was
to McDonald's and where
McDonald's now
in that case yeah I don't know
if I like
your analogy I don't know when
I take
you take the money and run this
show has
become invaluable in my life so
my tax
return is helping me give back
all right

and I'm
hearing I don't hear anything
hmm you have helped my sanity
in this
super polarized always
political culture
additionally the crackpot
theories oh
it's Birds outside my window

theories

on
topics like global warming
sonic weapons
OTG lifestyles and even the
moon landing

book ha
ha and Confessions of an
economic hitman

you've been deduced he needs
jobs karma
and dogs are people too okay

really have an answer for you
on this
question we're coming to the
yellow
vests and the Ebola in the DRC
but
that's what we do we attract
that stuff
for you jobs jobs and jobs
that's he was
asking you anything he was just
making a
rhetorical comment that he is
interested
in what happens right and I was
just
saying I don't have any answers
yeah but
he wasn't asking okay I'm sorry
sorry for stepping out of
bounds by the
way no but it sounds like you
were
lamenting the thing no that's
just no he
asked me a question
I thought he axed the question
oh yeah
that you thought he axed tax the
question no Gretchen Wittig 333
we
should use axe ITM James please

the same thing on the last show

was a
change from the last time yeah
no agenda
meetups comm is where the
accurate
information can be found yeah
and
apparently the guy in Des
Moines keeps
changing his mind where he
wants to do
the thing I thought Mimi was in
charge
and told him what to do she's
not there
she's you know the guys roaming
around
town saying I don't know I have
no idea

it I love
that an irk to Mimi is a thing

a plan to meet on a plane to
Memphis it
says plan but I mean I'm gonna
say plane

Kennewick Washington
Alexander Souls burger 218 in
Delaware
or days and Deutschland oh no
this is
our German producer from Ghana
uh and
who is who did send something
in I'm a
printed it out let's see if I
have it
Lister printouts course those
seem to
have disappeared so I will go
to the
email appropriately Souls
burger we're
going to the squirrel mail
people step
back square mail in the house
when you
need to find an email for a
donations
squirrel mail has X the question
hold on now you got to wait for
this we
got away
he's gonna find it he won he
found it
when he finds a donation email
he may
find it in his
ITM crackpot and buzzkill after
the
recent email reply from John I
need to
take this to 18 promo producer
ship
offer in the newsletter I he
becomes an
executive producer he did have
a special
offer for anyone who donated
$218 to
become executive producers in
this show
this offer ends tonight or
tomorrow
night tomorrow night no it ends
the 19th
sorry Tuesday night
offering the newsletter and to
ask for
addy douching now you have a
reason for
this I want to interject myself
and say
the reason he hasn't donated is
because
one of our liberal buddies Greg
had gone
to Africa and told this he's a
knight
uh-huh you're Alexander is he's
told me
why are you donating to the no
agenda oh
wait a minute man they admit
each other
they're one of only friends the
Lib Joe
all right let's just back this
up he was
in Africa and he met you one of
your lib
no journalists there was the
Lib Joe on
vacation was he on assignment I
live
Jose and Africa African ologist
oh he's
all after he's goes to Africa
all the
time he's married to an African
woman uh
I know two guys like this
and they go to Africa all the
time and
he get brings art back he's got
a house
full of probably a million
dollars worth
of African art that New York
Times does
pace pretty well I guess he was
never in
the New York Times he's the
professor um
he was gonna go to the New York
Times
but his other the other Lib Joe
pal I
think
personally this is just a guess
I'm not
gonna accuse anybody I think he
kill he
heard the deal he undermined
him he back
doored and under - this is my
guess
well anyways him right because
he goes
to Africa and tells this guy
not to
donate to the show so he
doesn't for a
year then now he needs to de
Duchenne
cuz he's back on board ok
anyway so I'll
continue from there right uh
it's been
long since I've donated so long
since
ago also I asked for karma for
my new my
newborn a human resource Nadine
who was
born on February 12th so we'll
give her
some karma John say hi to the
to the to
the mutual Lib Joe friend and
university
professor I will
Adam congratulations on your
upcoming
marriage made the third time be
the
charm
thanks you do not say that
that's not a
nice thing to say but thanks
anyway hey
go for fives so guys no homo

DSC why he's one of your old
listeners

then
he's our German producer in
Ghana Ghana

little
Karma to the newborn you don't
need
Poincare you've got Karma
[Music]
anyway luckily none of these
guys
listened to the show except
those the
lib jokes they know they would
be
ringing off your hook the the
Harris
story that you brought up with
from just
a quote from the book that it
would draw
anyone's brains oh we have a
number of
people that took the 218 offer
including
Capote and Jacob and Alexander
and and
now Jonathan Greenlee $218
these were
all be promoted to executive
producer oh

special you

understand why
but I kind of miss your funny
funny
pictures well here's I'm gonna
have to
do I'm gonna use I'm gonna have
to cut
the funny pictures down to next
and
nothing that's why I only that
ran one
humorous photo yeah the funny
pictures
at the end of the newsletter
I've tried
trace it down are largely
responsible
for the newsletter being sent
to spam
yeah I was I was afraid of that
that's too bad isn't it thanks
google
yeah thanks google we should
really have
a rule you want to subscribe to
the
newsletter you just can't do it
with a
gmail address well if I do the
stats on
it it's about 75 to 80 percent

apparently came
from
it looks like Scandinavia and
the spook
that took it down to to vinegar
so it's
in Venezuela it's it's a it's a
part of
the maybe it's an economic
hitman type
deal where they just keep hey
follow the
coin could be now be part of
some code
we gotta keep our eye on this
you can
find that there was a
geocaching calm
I'll put it in the show knows
but again
thank you for supporting the

Vollrath org
slash and what we call this is
a formula
we'd like you to go out there
and
propagate it our formula is
this we go
out for your people in the mouth
[Music]
[Music]
I've been looking at this 5g
stuff ooh
yeah
number of different ways am I
looking at
the 5g just trying to track
whatever's
going on whatever developments
and it's
you know it's very under
documented in
general and people really don't
understand much about what's
happening
and so there's a lot of PR and
you can
call it promotion you can call
it
misinformation disinformation a
lot of
different things but there's
one of our
producers caught this huge
native
advertising compendium on the
hill calm
what is that it's the hill this
is that
hit political the hill yeah
it's the
hills referring to the are they
right
leaning left leaning what are
they
they're they're they're slightly
left-wing but not like the wopo
or a
political might their little
more
centrist well they have created
probably
25 different video and I can
almost call
them little shows because some
of them
are 10 minutes some of them are
an hour
and it's they created these are
these
native average those native
advertising
and it's sponsored its know
presented by
Qualcomm it's a homemaker it's
all about
Qualcomm are the guys they're
you know
they're the big guys I've G
they are
they truly are getting 5g out
there so
they paid the hill to have all
kinds of
fun cutesy little videos and
I'm just
gonna play two of them but I
think I may
have to bring out more in the
future
that just that good and and
you'll hear
at the very end of this first
clip with
the Pittsburgh mayor and he's
trying to
explain what smart cities are
and what
5g Southworth's I know I
haven't you
wondered what what does it mean
to you
John 5g will bring us smart
cities this
is it means to me a smart city
the way I
see it especially let's look at
San
Francisco is that when you're
some
homeless person on the street
and you're
gonna take a dump on the
sidewalk
the 5g system will see that an
open up a whole dump can go
into and
then they close it up after
you're done
you know it could be done with
5g it's
it's such a great technology is
it
totally could happen you'll
hear at the
end you'll hear the hosts the
so called
interviewer well I want to get
your
opinion on but I've done I've
done my
fair share of bull crap videos
where
you're asking someone a
question it's a
paid environment you're paid to
ask the
question he's paid to answer the
question whether he's the mayor
or not
he has something to say and
it's just
you just asking the question
for forum
you know it's not you're not
having a
conversation and that's the
great great
take it was great fantastic
good job
mayor so you hear that at the
end of
this just to accentuate how
farmers
safety one more for safety
everybody
that's just for us so here's the
Pittsburgh mayor citing the
need to be
inclusive
when considering 5g smart
cities which
takes your idea to a whole next
level
what does it mean to be a smart
city in
modern terms a lot of different
definitions for it first part
of smart
is being inclusive in
understanding that
if we're only mining the data
for some
that we're creating a larger
digital
divide the second I like house
oh yeah
oh yeah if we're only mining
the data
for a few why are you mining my
data at
all and that comes us to your
point okay
we have some data on this guy
he's been
pooping every day at 8:05 a.m.
right in
this spot that's where we had
to gotta
have the whole open up so smart
cities
and this mayor this who is you
know on
board with the program whatever
incentive he's receiving he's
gonna get
a smart city damn it's like
yeah we're
gonna be data mining everybody
well no
exactly I was doing his grave in
understanding that if we're
only mining
the data for some that we're
creating a
larger digital divide the
second is not
allowing these stop it again
this isn't
the dive obviously not gonna
get through
this thing it's only 24 seconds
that's
the best so let me get this
straight so
what he's saying is that
somehow because
somebody's data mined then
somebody else
isn't dad in mind this is
creating a
larger digital divide now
additional
divide as I understand it
is the fact that some people
have better
access and more computing power
and we
even have home computing and
all those
kinds of things that others
don't have
because they can't afford it or
whatever
well this is minorities or you
see even
though they all have
smartphones it's
not the same what's that got to
do it
what does it got to do with
data mining
anybody I think you could
interpret what
he's saying in a different
manner where
he's saying if we're only data
mining
for the benefit of privilege
benefit
yeah he didn't see doesn't say
it
he doesn't mind a spy on you
wants to
benefit someone somewhere in
understanding that if we're
only mining
the data for some that we're
creating a
larger digital divide the
second is not
allowing by the way your point
is well
made he's just it's just
diarrhea of the
mouth he's just there he's just
talking
because he just wants it
whatever it is
he wants Qualcomm to give it to
him
cheap I'd the second is not
allowing the
different industries to silo or
harvest
the data simply for their own
profits
but for the greater good and
the third
is understand that it's a
system systems
all that information has a way
it's a
system system so say well it's
a system
of systems the system of
systems he's
clearly knows what he's talking
about
no brother so I and I do like
that 5g is
just granted as a given it's
for data
mining hey but I want to make
sure that
not just commercial companies
get to spy
on what you're doing I don't
want that
to happen we the government
needs that
two different industries to
silo or
harvest the data simply for
their own
profits but for the greater
good and the
third is to understand that
it's a
system systems all that
information has
a way to be able to be helpful
in
solving problems if you're able
to pull
it together and then be able to
have
some really creative people
outside of
government and inside of
government
looking at ways to be able to
utilize it
great yeah that will hit great
not great
great job great take it's great
it's
great a great take man good
good work
Mayer so now again this is
this is all sponsored by
Qualcomm so the
end the questions and answers
move them
and I don't blame the mayor for
being a
shill that's what mayor's do
but clearly
this is all about surveillance
surveillance for for profit and
yeah
maybe we'll get some benefit
out of
understanding traffic flows but
now the
second clip I have is an old
friend of
ours more of yours than mine
you have to
wonder where do the tech
journalists go
when they can't eat where do
they go
when they can't become
podcasters and
others will sell out to take
their
technology chops chops
credibility is
the word I was looking at ok
credibility
and then we'll sell out to
basically
just the highest bidder
although this
was probably pretty low do we
remember
Sarah Lacy oh she's in here
Sarah Lacy
now tell us about the where was
Sarah
Lacy was she on Twitter where
was she
you she had a different way
she's been
around I mean I had her on my
cranky
geek show a few times she is a
she's
written a couple books she's
kind of
become a uber feminist and she
is she
was at Business Week and that
she became
her independence she did Pando
daily for
years Pando daily yes she had
mark Ames
and and Paul Carr tremendously
talented
guys and didn't she wind up
with Paul
cars and she with him now or
did she
dump him already I don't know I
don't
keep up with that no but but
let me just
say that she I don't know what
happened
but she was so she was funded
by a lot
of VCS and she's been kind of
hanging
out with them and she's moved
on to
something called chairman mom
and now as
some well this is a sake this
is her
side hustle because this is
from January
I don't know anything about
that she was
doing this side hustle I call
her a tech
titute
well she shouldn't do this
she's a tech
titute of the highest order
virtual
reality and augmented reality
are two
things that virtually everyone
seems to
agree are futuristic
fascinating and
just really cool at the same
time AR and
VR haven't really gone
mainstream
despite all of the excitement
and demand
so far both rbr have been held
back for
a lack of accessibility
viability and
capacity with 5g we finally
have the
technology to capitalize on the
full
potential of AR and VR for
everyone if
you're a sports fan 5g is going
to
empower some game changing
shifts 5g
enabled remote production will
make it
possible to broadcast from
anywhere
without a satellite truck or a
supporting on-site team not a
sports fan
not a problem
AR technology has the potential
to
supply the same access and
experience
for all the live events we love
5g
technology is going to empower
our
remote controls so they feel
less like
remotes and more like
extensions of
ourselves after all the future
isn't
impressing buttons it's in
being the
button abilities are limitless
[Music]
without you I wouldn't have
known I too
can be the button or she's it
button
button
she said button button I don't
think she
said button no but it should be
button
well sad didn't it it's I feel
bad about
this I have to say though sure
presentation was very
professional that
kind of thing you must just do
that
nothing else yeah I'm things you
probably don't even get paid
enough for
it I mean that that's really
putting
your credibility on the line I
sighs
what do you you know I would
guess oh by
the way ask me in a heartbeat
in a
heartbeat I would guess you got
it I
would say that you shouldn't do
anything
like that for less than $10,000
and I'm
guessing she got five yeah
that's what I
think she probably defined she
got five
here's a promotional idea I was
just
thinking you know for 5g you
could have
an actual foam hand and then
watch it
melts No one two three four
five five
five fingers five big five
maybe you
know that's good
five foam five finger 5g yeah
five sheep
but yeah anyway it does seem
that
there's a you know there's some
issues
with the with the FCC it's
about you
know they've really tried to
ramrod this
down or really Ram this down
the throats
of all the municipalities and
you know
the mayor's are like yeah
you guys you're forced to do
this you
have to give them let them put
it up put
up the little transmitters and
you know
the time line it's just it's
bits being
ramrodded it really is but I'm
not
necessarily against it because
I think
it is the only way the only
thing left
for us to grow I don't see any
other oh
shit well I had that the
president
mentioned this yes no it's more
based on
as something that you and I
have been
talking about in kind of on the
sidelines over the course of
couple
weeks about this idea of growth
and
that's and really the struggle
right now
is for the West the Western
financial
world to find where can we grow
where
where can we make it happen
I think climate change was was
the
initial idea and that's where
all the
money would go to print money
really to
grow economies and grow sectors
believe
the dot-com bubble was it was a
version
of that y2k if we go back
what have we had outside of
climate
change what are their
initiatives have
we had I don't know thank you
summarize
most of them but 5g seems to be
the big
one you know it's it encompasses
everything it's bullshit but
missus
hiccuping and it's bleeding and
global
warming is still in play and
you can't
have too many of these things
going on
at the same time I have a piece
from
that Rose Garden speech from
Trump where
he specifically talks about the
growth
and how he's got to get to that
and it's
just I just want to add it as a
1-minute
data point for us let me also
ask you
about the debt Cerf because
it's gone
from a shade under 20 trillion
from when
you took office now it's a
shade over 22
trillion and heading in the
wrong
direction what are your plans
to reverse
so it's all about growth but
before I
really focus on that and you
have to
remember President Obama put on
more
debt on this country then every
president in the history of our
country
combined so when I took over we
had one
man that put on more debt than
every
other president combined
combine them
all so you can't be talking
about
that but I talk about it
because I
consider it very important but
first I
have to straighten out the
military the
military was depleted and if we
don't
have a strong military that
hopefully we
won't have to use because it's
strong if
we don't have a strong military
you
don't have to worry about debt
you have
bigger problems so I have to
get plenty
of money
what did you say audit the
Defense
Department you'll get plenty of
money
yeah but we're talking about
growth here
if we don't have a strong
military you
don't have to worry about debt
you have
bigger problems so I had to
straighten
out the military that's why I
did the
707 16 billion but growth well
straighten it out you saw last
month
listen to what he's saying
because he comes across as an
idiot I'm
trying to read into the words I
think
I'm hearing something different
than
what you just heard cuz yours
yeah yeah
audit the audit the the the
Pentagon
he's talking about please I
think what
he's saying is I'm pumping this
money in
and that will create growth
through I
guess the the war sector that's
what I'm
hearing him say okay you know
it's like
I did this I did that for
growth don't
believe a Marxist in fact yeah
it the
way you stabilizing the economy
is to do
a war do a war economy and then
you can
just throw money you know just
everyone
has to go to work because most
of the
things that you're
manufacturing are
getting exploded yes and if we
don't
have a strong military that
hopefully we
won't have to use because it's
strong if
we don't have a strong military
you
don't have to worry about debt
you have
bigger problems so I had to
straighten
out the military that's why I
did the
707 16 billion but growth will
straighten it out you saw last
month the
trade deficit went way down
everybody
said what happened well what's
happening
is growth but before I can
focus too
much on that a very big expense
is
military and we have no choice
but to
straighten out his growth the
only
answer sir yes ma'am go ahead
growth I
don't know it's a it's a data
point we
got to just listen for it
coming up in
the future what does he think
growth is
it the war economy because he's
on path
then he is a part of the let's
go get
Iran bullshit that's happening
right now
maybe he is he writes me what's
Bolton
doing in the in the in in the
white
house yes well I think he's
there
because he has the goods on
Trump about
all their the weird sex stuff
they did
together but maybe Trump wants
the neo
cons in be very disappointing
yeah yeah
well it was the same thing with
Obama
don't you remember when Obama
ran it was
two things we're gonna get out
of Iraq
immediately and when the first
thing I
can do you can take it to the
bank we're
gonna shut down get close good
neither
one of those things you get in
office
and you find out you're not
running the
place yeah turns out the other
guys are
you know they're all set up at
the old
things you know just a facade
mm-hmm and
you've got you know and of
course they
want to get rid of Trump
because he
seems to be playing not to he
doesn't
play the game they want him to
play no
so the whole thing is pathetic
well
switch to another pathetic
piece of news
I although I find this quite
amusing and
this was played up quite nicely
on the
news hour with Srinivasan
Cardinal
kicked part one yeah I'm glad
you got
these after decades of
investigations
and charges Pope Francis
expelled former
Cardinal and Archbishop of
Washington DC
Theodore McCarrick from the
Catholic
priesthood today the Vatican
announced
that an internal investigation
found
McAra guilty of soliciting for
sex while
hearing confession and sexual
crimes
involving minors and adults
quote with
the aggravating factor of the
abuse of
power Wow soliciting during
confession
this is the thing that got me
I'm
listening this object what and
so I'm
trying to imagine how this goes
damn I
confess first of all I think he
probably
didn't I think he probably
found men who
came in and said hey forgive me
Father
if I hadn't had sex with a man
Bell
Allah and then he would the the
priest
who had this where he's hearing
confession he'd say yeah really
was it one time tell me how it
works
maybe you should show me how it
works
now but this was also underaged
uh
everything blah how can i he's
what I
don't understand we throw
people in jail
for everything how do these
a-holes walk
around I have no idea and this
is the
first Cardinal that's been
booted from
the church I think in 200 years
it has
never gotten - no one's ever
gotten to
Cardinal I mean this is the
highest
right unjust second - Pope and
so to get
as far as he did and it
meanwhile just
soliciting people in the
confessional
booth it's like you know if
this is like
the guys I'm reminded of the
guest like
a crooked cop man it's like
that looks
like there's conversion therapy
yes
there you go the number of
conversion
therapy evangelicals and this
hasn't
been many of it evangelicals
who were
gay and they were just closeted
or or
they were gay and they would do
conversions every said well
you're she's
no you can have to show me how
this
works I could use a lesson here
let me
can you do that on me and see
what
happens I want to see what
respond I
mean I can't imagine the kind
of games
that are play but it's
obviously it's a
road to a come on um I just
found it to
be hilarious that this was
going on I
find it so disturbing it's more
- so I
think it's hilarious personally
but why
why just why aren't these
people I mean
is it because statute of
limitations and
and that kind of you know I was
plenty
of that yeah geez man all right
part two
portrait filed at the time and
why would
there because the guy was like
you know
all right play part two the 88
year old
mckarrick is the highest-ranking
Catholic official to be
defrocked or
removed from the priesthood
this follows
decades of sex abuse scandals
in the
church the frocking means that
he can no
longer celebrate Mass or other
sacraments a Vatican summit to
discuss
the global sexual abuse crisis
is set to
begin next Thursday hmm a
global abuse
crisis these guys have no
standing
I'm sorry she's well anyway I
just found
this to be it's interesting
just some
reason it used to be me who
would bring
these clips yeah for years on
the show I
says listen to this
especially when the when the
initial
scandals were just starting to
come to
light and you actually got you
said
don't do it anymore just stop
no I didn't okay alright okay
maybe okay
let's say I did but I probably
did cuz
it was just kind of hollow it
wasn't
going anywhere this is like
coming to a
head now and I and this is
funnier your
clips weren't funny they were
kind of
pathetic and but I don't find
this to be
very funny well I think
somebody in the
confessional booth hearing
somebody's
confessing about some sex act
and then
coming on to them well that
sounds
pretty interesting I'll give
you I'll
tell you I'll do a deal with
you if you
only have one Hail Mary instead
of the
fifty you deserve but you got
to show me
how this works afterwards there
will be
a test convergence of worlds my
favorite
topics dogs and I love dogs and
electric
scooters yeah Tim jessalyn roses
attorney toll 23 ABC she is in
the
process of turning herself into
Bakersfield police tonight
after the
district attorney's office
filed charges
of animal abuse and neglect
against Rosa
you may remember that viral
video
causing an uproar on social
media that
video showing Rosa dragging a
dog behind
a bird scooter Rosa is now
facing one
felony and one misdemeanor
charge which
could land her in jail for up
to three
years and a fine of $20,000 the
video
was captured by home
surveillance
cameras in downtown Bakersfield
appear
in a show Rosa dragging a small
dog on a
bird scooter
BBT says the dog wasn't
actually hers
and was returned to its
rightful owner
but it's unclear who actually
owns the
dog Rosa was a former in
boy of the current Valley State
Prison
as a contracted psychologist her
contract was terminated just
days after
the video went viral so of
course a
psychologist would do this
a shrink gone nuts have you
seen this
video no I have not seen the
video oh my
god the dog is just she's on a
leash
she's dragging the dog behind
her the
dog is not just like on his side
you know fur flying off it's
just just
being dragged along what is
wrong with
people
I don't know what's wrong with
her yeah
I thought that well she's a
psychologist
maybe that's the issue um
unreal these
scooters man they're bad for
people just
recording this stuff if this
was well on
the other hand I'm not really
glad about
it because this these are the
the ring
doorbells that people have been
installing which has a camera is
watching everything ah yeah of
course
it's beautiful for the for the
intelligence services they can
just flip
on cameras everywhere look at a
whole
street they've literally went
from 1 to
2 to 3 there was three
different videos
that they put together for this
for this
video that apparently went viral
all right so wasn't somebody
filming it
was just did yeah really huh
yeah who
bought the didn't someone buy
the ring
doorbell company wasn't it
Google it
would make sense wouldn't it
let's see acquired let's see
which one
has any info on it Amazon
oops sorry 1 billion dollars
hello of
course of course of course
spy companies man spies spying
on us
well it's about to get a hell
of a lot
better you know you know we've
discussed
my credibility as in
creditworthiness in
the past credibility and create
creditworthiness are not even
connected
that's why I said
creditworthiness to
correct myself ok my FICO score
to be
precise its skyrocketed it has
yeah now
I came back to the u.s. in 2000
five I believe and what
happened is I
got on the payroll of my own
company and
the IRS showed up at the
company about a
year later in San Francisco
with their
guns and said we've been
looking for you
do you remember this did they
have I
wasn't there did you did they
have the
guns pulled out no they had a
shotgun
and they both had their hand
their
handguns exposed if they were
in uniform
they heard IRS agent uniforms
with
handguns and a shotgun
we've been look we've been
looking for
you Mr curry I said that Google
didn't
find that very funny and what
had
happened was my accountant in
the
Netherlands had not I pay taxes
but had
not filed them at all or
properly or
whatever it was for the I know
nine
years I'd been out of the
country more
than that now whatever whatever
amount
of time so I got a huge lien
and it cost
me a lot of money and lawyers
fees and
fines and all kinds of stuff
and then my
wages were garnished it was
very it was
a harrowing ordeal and you know
I think
some of it is still on my
record because
you know like a lien a tax lien
stays on
your record for some gun Godley
like
nine years or something and so
when when
we were looking initially at
buying what
I wanted to buy the air stream
of
consciousness it was very
difficult for
me to get any kind of financing
because
my FICO score was in these six
hundreds
guys pretty much non-existent
when we
started the show I didn't even
have a
credit card as you can recall
and I was
quite proud of it using cash
and debit
card only
yeah heaven forbid you do that
because
then you're not you're useless
citizen
exactly so I had to become a
more useful
citizen and I had to get a
credit card
and build up my credit and of
course
once I met Tina the keeper who
has you
know a FICO score of I kid you
not
860
that's what she's called Tina
to keep
the hell yeah you know she's
like
kicking my ass about making
sure I pay
bills on time I have three
bills but
okay son time and being a good
citizen
and work because we're we want
to buy a
house and now that we're
together we can
actually build buy a house cuz
it's the
two of us so um so we're going
through
the process and you know she
did it she
helped me up my FICO score I am
now 750
well good for you I'm very
proud of
myself but apparently of course
well I
am because you know now we can
you know
hopefully get a mortgage and
and get on
the property ladder on the
lowest rung
yeah there you go right now
there are
people who have problems with
their FICO
score which is a complete
commercial
company that just made this
score to
control you to control you into
believing that this is not care
there is
no such thing to control you
into
believing that you are a good
citizen as
John just said and it is a
total scam it
is it is not much different
than the
Chinese social scoring system
except the
FICO score if you actually
check it it
hurts your score which is the
best part
of the whole system I love that
but NBC
has a report there's a brand
new way now
for you to fix your FICO score
so you
can be a better citizen and get
on the
debt ladder yourself for
working mom
Jaclyn eerie mystical miss
Sanchez
please it's one sales cold call
after
another each number dials a
chance to
not be defined by another
number my
credit score currently is that
511 I
believe Neary blames that very
poor
credit score on student loans
and nine
year old credit card debt from
what her
son was born I'm not that
person you
know who they're judging off of
that
negative credit score credit
agency
experience says nearly 100
million
Americans suffer from poor
credit which
is why the company is launching
Experian
boost a free program designed
to raise
scores immediately in exchange
for
access to your bank account
utility
bills even cellphone payments
you're
asking people for their
spending history
their bank account
this is great news everybody
open up
your stuff let them in you get
an
immediate boost in fact we
branded it as
Experian bus pretty personal
stuff how
safe is this to provide
information
why's the consumers always in
control
they decide when they provide
that
access no led to an instant 21
point
boost but critics see risks of
subprime
lending opportunism to make
more money
for more loans and privacy
concerns so
someone is gonna make money off
of my
data it won't be me but now that
information exists and it
exists for the
world to see for it to be sold
Experian
promises encrypted records and
to only
sell this new information to
its regular
credit report clients adding
anyone who
leaves the program should
expect to see
their score drop for nearly all
risk
worth taking a bet on a better
future by
letting a company peek at the
present
but a piece of crap bad native
add that
was and 20 points she said her
score was
540 so now it's 560 it's
encouragement
this is slavery
it is sanctioned slavery the
first
question I'd have for Elizabeth
Warren
if I ever spoke with her is what
happened to your credit Consumer
Protection Agency Bureau this
is this is
actual slavery oh you know if
you leave
the program if you don't let us
watch
what you do with your money
ah you'll go down in your
ratings it is
slavery we need some smart state
representatives to crack down
on this
stuff at the state level yeah I
the system it's like a big fix
you know
the system is in everything
runs on it
people accept it that's the
that's the
bigger problem people do this
the banks
would do their own research on
you yes
woman just look at a number and
decide
to give you a loan or not I
mean what's
how hard is that which is
exactly why we
went with the credit union for
our
mortgage
you know they they look at you
and say
hey why do you get money from
Dvorak
every two weeks you're very
curious
Curie we're not quite sure how
your
business works we'd like to
talk to you
about it but you know it's at
least
they're not basing it on a damn
credit
score but yeah but this is this
is very
bad and you're right the way
NBC does
this native ad for this new
boost
product it's disgusting save I
guess
that's the only answer is save
if you're
like if you're young enough you
can do
it not like old old old messed
up people
like me you know I spent all my
money
but I had a lot of fun spending
it stop
spending your money so much
food buy
donation to no agenda imagine
all the
people who could do with us oh

devorah org slash and hey okay
now
here's the thing that Donovan
says I'm
gonna read from his original
note
calling all cyber dudes and
dudettes
let's try to do that this is
nothing
that has been it's not on the
meetup
side it's just that something I
don't
know wow this is gonna go but
I'm gonna
at least do this much let's try
to do a
simultaneous meet up on
Saturday three
two and get a group together in
francisco at the same time as
the austin
meetup now it'll be okay this
will be
during the cybers conference RSA
Conference in San Francisco
details the
following the meetups that
there's been
no details on the meetup site
no what
are you gonna say I don't think
it's a
good idea Austin has finally
we're doing
our big Texas meet up I don't
want
California Horning in on our on
our on
our glory well I can understand
that
that's plenty of line there's
been
plenty of meetups in in
California for
Nia its Texas is turn now come
over here
besides I really don't see that
working
very well so we're gonna get a
laptop
hey everybody let's wave I'm
sorry
what's the idea we're doing
simultaneous
meetups and we're gonna wave at
each
other or just do it there was
no mention
of any such thing
okay what what what okay
they're trying
to put together a meet-up so
what's the
point is what you're asking
yeah about the donations today
it's
really irked me that's all well
it's
nothing to do with you
it's just shadi is I think if
we look
we're already pretty
unprofessional a
lot of things but just like to
get some
of these things right the
birthdays that
kind of stuff I'd like to get
it right
well I think grousing about it
is not oh
no they can't get any more
professional
all right onward let's go with
the idiot
mayor story okay idiot mayor
PBS won the
race for the White House in
2020 is in
full swing and ten Democrats so
far have
declared their candidacy for
the party's
nomination with just four
months to go
before the first Democratic
presidential
debate in June Pete Buddha
judge the
mayor of South Bend Indiana
recently
announced that he formed an
exploratory
committee if he wins his party's
nomination he would be the
first openly
gay candidate of a major party
to run
for the White House mayor Buda
judge
joins us now to
cuz his book the shortest way
home and
why he would be a good
president Meir
Buddha judge thank you very
much for
being with us thanks for having
me
so first obvious question why
would a 37
year old mayor of a small city
and the
Midwestern part of the u.s. be
running
for president
well I believe we're in a
moment that
calls for something completely
new and
among other things I think it
calls for
voices from the industrial
Midwest a
place that in particular my
party to its
detriment largely ignored in
past
election cycles I think it also
calls
for somebody from a newer
generation you
know as a millennial I'm just
old enough
or just young enough to qualify
as an
older millennial I'm from the
generation
that for one thing grew up
experiencing
school shootings is the norm I
was in
high school when Columbine
happened
we're the generation that's
going to be
on the business end of climate
change
that's going to have to pick up
the
pieces of the fiscal mess that
will be
made by current tax policy and
economically we could be the
first
generation in American history
to make
less than our parents if
nothing is done
so I think that those kinds of
voices
have been missing from the
debate and
it's time to step forward I get
that
it's a non-traditional path
compared to
let's say being in the Congress
but as
an executive with on-the-ground
experience in government I
would also
argue that the more Congress
starts
looking or Washington starts
looking
like our best run cities and
towns
instead of the other way around
the
better off we'll be
she asked the question why
would a 37
year old mayor for some bumfuck
City and
Indiana be running for
president and I'm
mad and I'm my jaws dropped
during this
whole thing wondering why is PBS
newshour giving this guy
they gave him 15 minutes they're
desperate for candidates what
there's
thousands of candidates but
they gotta
find someone who works nothing
nothing
nobody works no one's good
they're
looking for anything they're
filling
time he's a 37 year old gay
male from
Indiana who nobody has heard
and takes
the boxes right there Midwest
gay
Democrat perfect and he's open
the only
thing that I can see where they
may be
kind of like jacked up about
this guy
because he's so all-in on
climate change
mm-hmm that that's all he talks
about
and by the way I think it's
gonna be a
losing talking point for the
Democrats
climate change is not well
that's not
true because everyone right now
on the
Democratic side is running on
the green
new deal does he mention the
green new
deal he's an idiot if he
doesn't use
that if he just says climate
change then
he's dumb what wait you think
he has a
chance no matter what he
mentions no
you're just saying that this
climate
change and no one cares that's
not true
seventy all of the candidates
who are
running in the primary for the
Democrats
have all said oh we endorse the
green
New Deal so it is important to
do that
if you say green New Deal
I don't know if he said I can't
remember
have you said it or not but
let's play a
little part to hear he's got
some more
stuff to say tax policy that's
one of
the issues that we're already
hearing
these early announced
candidates talk
about where do you put yourself
on the
spectrum of the people who've
expressed
an interest in the Democratic
nomination
there's camallo Harris there's
everybody
to Elizabeth Warren Bernie
Sanders may
get in let's start with tax
policy where
would you put yourself when it
comes to
taxing the wealthy well I think
it's
pretty clear that there are
people in
America right now who are
not paying their fair share
concentration of wealth has
increased to
a level that is almost
incompatible with
democracy especially at a time
when it
feels like dollars can
sometimes out
vote people I am a billionaire
is a bad
word we learned all this well
he's
falling into line that's going
to the
third and light final little
short clip
which I apparently have found
something
in that is a WTF moment the
mistake is
believing that border security
as as
simple as just putting up a
wall from
sea to shining sea and by the
way I also
think it's a mistake to believe
that
security in general in the 21st
century
is as simple as military and
border
security matters at a moment
like this
when 21st century threats from
cyber
security to climate security are
demanding action many
especially the
majority party in the Senate
don't seem
to show any interest in
tackling that at
all you mean climate security
yeah need
a climate security climate
security baby
yeah you do you do you want to
be
unsecure what does it mean I
don't know
I didn't they ask at PBS no of
course
not so much as though there was
a native
ad for this guy hmm but he's
another guy
in the list he won't there's a
there is
a part for which is 45 seconds
doing him
yeah of course of course
hopefully we can save this
you've done
that and whether you agree or
not
if you were president for
example you
said you think the climate yes
climate
change is a national emergency
could you
see yourself declaring an
emergency
over over that may be the
youngest
person in the 20/20
conversation but I'm
old enough to remember when
conservatives and liberals
alike were
skeptical of presidential power
grabs
and the idea that he can assert
additional power based on an
emergency
that's not a true emergency to
the
extent that there is a
humanitarian
crisis it's one of his own
making
because of the cruel policies
being
implemented at the border and
in the
meantime something like climate
something that has the
destructive power
of perhaps a depression or a
world war
that is a much more real
emergency as
demanding our attention
[Music]
this has to stop what these
people are
saying and but the science is
backing
off from this we're all gonna
die in the
climate I mean it's happening
everywhere
we're identifying it NASA's top
global
warming scientists we played on
the show
backing away from it the
Austrian
meteorological Institute is
also backing
away from the consensus of
climate
change
but the politicians are all in
there
pushing it so hard and abusing
children
euronews had this report this
morning
it's very short so there was
another
climate change rally this is an
11 year
old girl and listen to there's
adult
standing around her as this
child is is
filled with fear and tragedy
and emotion
and cries about the climate
killing us
and these assholes are standing
around
her cheering her on
[Applause]
very emotional a great job they
don't do
they not see the destruction no
of
course not
ah I think it's great it's so
it's child
abuse it's it's up there with
these
priests it's just a different
religion
to making JA it's abusive so
abusive yep
anyway alright well let's move
on to I
have a Venezuela update okay on
PBS so
it's PBS report not democracy
now so
it's gonna be pro the new guy
who idol
the US began using military
transport
planes today to deliver food
medicine
and supplies for Venezuelans to
a border
city in Colombia the airlift
follows
shipments using civilian
aircraft and
the US as more shipments are
planned
Venezuelan president Nicolas
Maduro
continues to block a delivery
but
opposition leader Wan glider
who the US
and many other countries
recognize as
president says on Monday he will
announce plans to bring the
supplies
into Venezuela yeah I think I
actually
have a follow-up to that let me
see
where this clip is from let's
see it's
about exactly him doing this
leader and
self declared president Hwang
Guido has
promised to organize brigades of
volunteer Mia this is euronews
are very
similar I guess twin Shaw
international
aid reaches the country's
population
unless the venezuelan army does
the job
itself the message to the armed
forces
of venezuela he told supporters
in
caracas is that there are seven
days for
the humanitarian aid to come in
one week
for them to do the right thing
we are
authorizing the aid to enter
the united
states has flown in food and
medical
supplies to neighboring
colombia but
it's been blocked by a
government of
President Nicolas Maduro who
sees the
operation as a political
maneuver
designed to asked him from
power have we
seen anything on the Iran
connection
have they been ramping that up
at all
not this that in the last
couple days
but I'm beginning to think the
possibility to thinking what to
tell me
about this so we've been pretty
good at
rubble izing one country after
another
in that list of seven you know
those
countries have been ruined I
mean Libya
Syria's all beat to crap huh
should we
just rocket shall we check the
list no
no I don't wanna check the list
again we
know the list this is the bunch
of
countries rubberized
and now is it possible that
somebody's
got it in their brain that hey
what
happens if we rubble eyes some
countries
in South America it's within
our sphere
of influence it makes a lot
more sense
to do that there and the
slightly oil oh
we have US oil reserves in the
world by
the way notched off the coast of
Venezuela
what if we did it there what
what would
happen do you think I mean I'm
thinking
from a neo-cons perspective
they want to
rebel eyes everything I don't
know maybe
this is a test and somewhat
well how we
didn't hit what's our excuse
well Hamas
and then Hezbollah right
somehow it in
in Venezuela we got to root
them out
well this is I I have a
collection of
articles this is not the first
time this
connection has been made let me
see this
is September 8 2009 the link
between
Iran and Venezuela a crisis in
the
making Iran in Venezuela in bed
together
diplomatic ties go back almost
50 years
and they all tell these stories
tie it
to drugs we have drugs yep oh
yeah
here's the Reuters was this boy
didn't
work excuse me no hmm this is
July 24 so
it was 2009 July 21st
Venezuela denies US Drug Report
Hezbollah charges so this is uh
this is
not new in fact this is when
Obama was
just in so that's kind of
interesting
this is Iran and it's proxies
below
strategic penetration in Latin
America
the
is from us probably else from
2009 let
me see yep 2009 Iran's goals in
Latin
America just like get the drugs
in so
this was tried this was tried
ten years
ago with the same the same link
between
Hezbollah and Venezuela and
obviously
Iran goes it's they're bringing
back
some playbook but we haven't
figured it
out yet
well it's not gonna be pretty
I don't think so either and
there's and
what's the rhetoric on Iran
well the
latest thing is this clip I
have which
is the Iran news with pence
yeah I got
that sales anyway around well
they have
a big the big Munich Security
Conference
yeah and I guess pence is
getting ridges
ramping things up let's see
which ran
news yeah I got it here we go
Vice
President Mike Pence and German
Chancellor Angela Merkel
squared off
over the US withdrawal from the
Iran
nuclear deal today at the
annual Munich
Security Conference in Germany
pence
used strong language in his
speech to
top global defense and foreign
policy
officials demanding that
European
countries back US sanctions
against Iran
the time has come for our
European
partners to stop undermining US
sanctions against this murderous
revolutionary regime pence
spoke after
Merkel used her speech to
defend the
decision by Germany and other
nations to
remain in the 2015 Iran nuclear
agreement saying it is a way to
continue
to exert pressure on Iran the
United
Kingdom Germany France Russia
China and
the European Union are still
part of the
agreement with Iran yeah yeah
yeah yeah
and then you know the Europeans
they're
still trying to circumvent all
the
payment systems to continue to
do work
with Iran this could be much
bigger
maybe maybe maybe something
much bigger
is happening the maybe but what
I don't know and hopefully
we'll get
some producers who maybe are
some boots
on the ground I mean there's
got to be
something brewing in Iran that
we're not
hearing about well this is where
economic hitmen right come in
handy to
come in for sure for sure a
quick update
maybe on the yellow vests and I
think
there was a request for that
earlier in
the show third month now in
effect
clashes in Paris on Saturday
marks three
months since the Silesian
demonstrators
rallied against President
Emmanuel
macron policies but with fewer
people
taking part mind you this is
euronews so
stand by for the propaganda last
November they were around three
hundred
thousand who took to the
streets across
cities in France last week
there were
around 50,000 according to
government
estimates bus organizers put
the figure
at over a hundred thousand last
of
course we are tired we are fed
up but we
won't give up we won't give up
on
anything because they want to
muzzle us
and we want to be heard so I
will carry
on until the movement runs out
of steam
if it runs out of steam I remain
prepared to continue because
I'm unable
to buy as many things every day
I'm also
here to denounce the violence
from the
police there is more and more
violence
which unfortunately the media
does not
show in France a poll this week
showed
dwindling support for them as
more than
half of those surveyed said
they want
any violence to stop alright so
it's
just not stopping and it's still
spreading but this is the only
report I
can find three months three
months
straight yeah yeah three months
straight
and we get no news in the US
about this
at all or Europe is barely any
news we
have yellow vest in the
Netherlands in
Belgium in the Germany I think
maybe
Austria you really don't know
because
it's not it's not mainstream
reporting I
would have to make an actual
effort all
things to be some reporting
somewhere
this is it euro news and it's
the
propaganda tapering off it's a
lot less
than it was only fifty thousand
who
cares about fifty thousand
people who
were pissed off uh alright we
do have
this
for - this was that this was a
great
report so interesting to me
that I got
our little jingle ready for it
auto line
daily episode 2530 - boy a
little bit
ahead of us there's a
fascinating
transformation going on with
the Board
of Directors at General Motors
it's now
well populated with people from
the
intelligence and military
communities
they include Mike Mullen the
former
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff
Jamie michig former deputy
director of
the CIA
Linda Gooden formerly the head
of
information systems at Lockheed
Martin
and West Bush former CEO of
Northrop
Grumman
in a world of cyberattacks and
geopolitical flare-ups General
Motors is
making sure it has the kind of
corporate
guidance that knows how to deal
with
these kinds of problems another
point
worth repeating almost half of
GM's
board are women the highest
percentage
in the auto industry by a wide
margin
and that's going to give GM
perspectives
that other automakers do not
have now if
yeah it's a podcast so you know
it's
it's just information but
that's quite
an interesting list of board
members but
there's more than just
information
there's an opinion at the end
yeah I
don't care about the opinion
I'm I was
looking at the spooks yeah the
place is
filled with them it's almost
all spooks
but why what does G does gia
did she
make war stuff I guess they do
yeah
tanks oh okay yeah but still
that's an
interesting list is that how
you get
paid off at the end you know
like be on
the board and everything's good
you know
thanks for your service it's a
paid
board job it's not like a free
one hmm
um maybe it could be just that
and Jim's you only company I'll
allow it
maybe I don't know what it's
just very
very fishy I do like that it's
and that
the majority is women I hope
the company
does really well that's what
we've been
promised
yes yeah with all the women
that should
do better than typically all
men go
according to what we've been
promised
huh I guess we should do this
update
since it seems to be incredibly
important to people although
the event
itself is completely
uninteresting but
the fact that it took place is
very very
bad for the United States and
once again
shows you how the mainstream
media gets
just fooled into all kinds of
crap this
is the jussie Smollett you know
I think
we you know this is kind of what
everyone has and II wanna
chuckle well
I'll play the report in a quick
discussion developing news now
in the
justice Millette case the two
men
arrested in the alleged attack
on the
actor were released from
custody but
apparently not before giving
police
important information important
CBS news
the Nigerian brothers say the
Empire
actor orchestrated the whole
thing there
and Chris's story is still
evolving
Chicago police released a
statement
tonight saying information from
those
brothers you mentioned quote
shifted the
trajectory of the investigation
and
police say they've reached out
to the
attorney representing jussie
Smollett
hoping to speak to him they've
now
released those brothers without
filing
any charges and when they did
police
said there was new evidence but
didn't
say what it was now sources
tell CBS
News the brother said Smollett
paid them
to take part in the attack
sources say
the pair was paid $3,500 before
they
left for Nigeria shortly after
the
attack and were promised
another 500
when they returned they also
reportedly
said they bought the rope that
was
around smollett's neck at a
hardware
store Thursday police searched
the
apartment of the brothers and
removed
bleach a black ski mask as well
as other
items Smollett has hired
Michael Monaco
as his lawyer he's best known
for
representing presidents Trump's
one-time
personal attorney Michael Cohen
that'll be well let's back up
we called this from the minute
it was we
did it was produced as some
sort of a
news story because of the
because of the
situation in China it wasn't
just a news
story it was a break
News stopped everything there
were I I
was listening to MSNBC
Stephanie ruhle
was in tears this is the worst
news I've
ever had to read and it was
they had
Magga hats and it was mega
country
something that isn't even that
he that
wasn't even reported this is
another
example of how it's just how do
you
trigger the news who can do a
better job
who can get something to go
viral and
there's never an apology
for all the shit that they say
while
this hoax takes place again I
just want
to remind people we spotted
this because
of the weather conditions
nobody's gonna
be out in 20-below toasters
with on like
that for starters the whole
thing made
zero sense and so we just
ignored it we
made our Proclamation this is
bullcrap
now although it makes it sound
like
Trump apologists of course and
we
stopped we stopped even
reporting on it
because it was dumb and now it
comes
around to be exactly what we
said dumb
which he and of course we dumb
glad said
I guess you followed up I mean
I wasn't
even gonna pay any attention to
it but
it's just the end and you're
right what
where is the apology for these
news
outlets that don't do any work
they they
don't they look at Twitter and
that's
that's their job now I mean it's
horrible yes which is kind of
the
essence of why we even have
this show is
to is to point out the
fallacies of the
media and what they're doing
but what
they're not doing in this case
is
apologizing profusely for
having started
yet in another race
conversation that we
really don't need here at the
moment and
you know made this other
assertion this
will still be seen by many
areas that
did yeah that's the worst part
yeah I was like that guy in
Chicago and
they put the noose around his
head they
had a maggot hat guys remember
that
that's right you'd the same hat
that
that kid wore when he went
after that
Indian guy you know those
horrible high
schoolers they almost beat him
up you
know that remember that
you nailed it that's exactly it
well there you go
another immediate lie
deconstructed but
we kind of knew it the minute it
happened
I'm just based on the weather
the story
made no sense that's right
detective
Dookie we're all over it and we
will be

deconstruction of The Daily News

they can deal with the way
things that
can't deal with terrorism no
masculine
power in our society to fight
back and
that's because our culture has
become
pretty nice

responsibility to
defend the women the children

culture because now I mean this
