I love my piehole Adam I love my piehole
0:02
Adam I'm glad you've got it in full play
0:36
we could use some of that over here in
0:37
Texas it's code its code its codes very
0:41
close we learn to code is very code very
0:44
code a man doesn't matter we're all
0:46
gonna get nice and warm
0:47
the president said so this morning did
0:50
you see his tweet what you're gonna dab
0:52
nuke us close enough I quote from Donald
0:57
J Trump on Twitter I want 5g even 6g
1:02
technology in the United States as soon
1:05
as possible it is far more powerful
1:07
faster and smarter than the current
1:10
standard American companies must step up
1:12
their efforts or left get left behind
1:14
there's no time to waste was writing
1:24
that for him you know what 5g is there
1:27
is it bears is barely even a standard
1:29
but as predicted on this show that's
1:32
where he's gonna go for growth he sees
1:34
it finally he says we need to grow the
1:36
economy that we got to really push that
1:39
funky phony 5g stuff and fry everybody
1:43
at the same time it's a double whammy
1:45
some people won't make it that's what it
1:48
is
1:48
well you know it is a form of Darwinism
1:53
I got a quick interview just since we're
1:55
on this topic with the founder of Huawei
1:59
with AI you did you got you you how'd
2:02
you get ahold of him oh I'm sorry you
2:06
presented it funny okay going this
2:09
the founders name is Ren Zhang Fei and I
2:13
think Yngwie is that wrong
2:21
Renton Jiang hey but it is a short
2:25
interview from Europe but I liked it as
2:27
a good retort to this the president
2:29
saying that we're gonna be the kings of
2:31
five and six gee there's no way the US
2:36
can crush us
2:37
the world needs Huawei because we are
2:40
more advanced even if they persuade more
2:42
countries not to use us temporarily we
2:45
could just scale things down a bit and
2:47
because the u.s. keeps targeting us and
2:50
finding fault with us it has forced us
2:53
to improve our products and services
2:55
what kind of impact would it have on
2:57
your business if the US is successful in
3:01
getting many of its partners in the West
3:03
to shut your equipment out if the lights
3:08
go out in the West the East will still
3:11
shine and if the North goes down can the
3:14
south isn't that great but don't worry
3:17
it'll be plenty bright where there 5g
3:19
burning up the universe America doesn't
3:22
represent the world how importantly yes
3:24
we do the future of Huawei in the UK
3:27
with regards to your investment plans
3:29
and jobs are you are you able to
3:32
guarantee that you will not be pulling
3:34
out of the UK you will not be taking
3:36
jobs out of the UK we will continue to
3:41
invest in the UK we still trust in the
3:44
UK and we hope that the UK will trust us
3:47
even more we will invest even more in
3:50
the UK because if the US doesn't trust
3:53
us then we will shift our investment
3:55
from the u.s. to the UK on an even
3:58
bigger scale oh yeah that'll make a lot
4:00
of friends I would like to raise the
4:03
issue of your daughter this is a
4:05
personal event this is very interesting
4:07
so he's going to talk about his daughter
4:08
in a way that no dad really talks about
4:10
his daughter very challenging time for
4:13
you she is in Canada she's been arrested
4:15
by the USS request and she faces
4:18
extradition how do you feel about this
4:20
and what will you do
4:22
if she is sent to jail I object to what
4:24
the US has done this kind of politically
4:27
motivated Act is not acceptable the u.s.
4:30
likes to sanction others whenever
4:32
there's an issue they'll use such
4:34
methods we object to this g11 joke she
4:38
has no impact on what ways business do
4:40
to minglang Joe's loss of freedom in
4:42
fact we're growing even faster so they
4:45
caught Ming Wang jokes maybe they got
4:48
the wrong person
4:49
I don't know if that's just the
4:49
translation I wonder if he's if he
4:53
actually said it that way so they caught
4:54
her
4:55
whatever implying that she's kind of
4:57
guilty of something but that may just be
5:00
the translations of freedom we're
5:02
growing even faster so they caught Ming
5:05
Wang Joe maybe they got the wrong person
5:07
they may have thought if they've
5:09
arrested her while we would fall but we
5:12
didn't fall we are still moving forward
5:14
our company has established processes
5:16
and procedures and no longer relies on
5:19
any one person even if I myself go one
5:22
day this company won't change its
5:25
trajectory forward top put highly lgo
5:27
jigger ching ching all right geez there
5:30
you go that guy seems cocky he's on the
5:33
warpath man I'm messing around anyway
5:38
I'll just wrap up the five G since we're
5:40
here anyway Motorola has they've I guess
5:44
they have some specs on there 5g moto
5:46
mod moto mod and it has a feature that
5:52
limits the limits radiation if you have
5:57
your finger near an antenna the antenna
5:59
will sense that and we'll stop frying
6:01
your finger the worst I think this was
6:10
the one of the worst press releases are
6:13
or announcements I've ever heard
6:16
regarding a technology because it's
6:18
exactly what you said what did I say
6:21
yeah it's gonna fry your finger if you
6:23
touch it this doesn't sound like some
6:25
people want to put next to their head
6:26
well lots of people will but not the no
6:29
agenda peeps we're too smart it wasn't
6:33
it was the only other 5g article I have
6:35
is you
6:36
of course everyone's all jacked up about
6:38
having their CV be the smartest city and
6:41
in the Netherlands in the hague the seat
6:44
of the Dutch government by 2020 they're
6:48
very proud to say they'll be the first
6:49
city in Holland completely 5g enabled
6:54
you know I remember when we had the
6:56
Seoul Olympics the Winter Olympics
6:59
mm-hmm and in Korea and that was
7:02
supposed to be lit up by 5g and that was
7:05
a big G it was I don't think it may have
7:10
been wall ways but I'm not sure it could
7:11
have been anyone's Erickson's perhaps
7:13
and it was like they made a big deal
7:16
about the beginning and then everyone's
7:17
gonna be supposed to be getting these 5g
7:19
phones nobody got anything they wouldn't
7:21
know find a real phone no on this
7:24
network it was an early early stake in
7:26
the ground it was an early bs stake
7:30
fair warning for you John among I got
7:34
made an investment in the show I am on a
7:38
new rig today this is what we have this
7:41
sound issue then no has nothing to do
7:43
with it no yeah I want you to have a new
7:47
rig well I'm always looking for whenever
7:50
I'm on the road to zero today no
7:53
tomorrow I tomorrow morning we leave
7:55
early for Des Moines Iowa where we have
7:57
Des Moines I was 10 degrees that's okay
8:01
now is it let me tell you this I don't
8:07
know we'll find out won't we
8:12
[Music]
8:14
tomorrow let's use all new gear no
8:17
that's why we're testing it today you
8:20
see this is I'm doing I'm being very
8:23
smart I mean I could swap everything out
8:25
in a heartbeat and be on my standard rig
8:27
well it would be a couple heartbeats but
8:30
I just wanted to explain why when I'm on
8:31
the road there's always less bandwidth
8:33
no matter what you're using this less
8:35
than at home
8:35
so prep time takes longer as is and the
8:38
computers I had which the first one I
8:42
had was just a huge screen it's like I
8:44
was like an HP 17 inch screen or
8:47
something real heavy clunk
8:49
because I just wanted one screen the
8:51
touchscreen but of course it's a it's a
8:54
regular hard drive and it takes forever
8:56
for the thing to boot up and everything
8:59
takes longer and I can't miss more speed
9:01
so I needed more speed didn't want to
9:03
add to the weight their physical weight
9:06
and low and behold them at Costco of all
9:09
places let's go and they had a $200 off
9:12
on the surface pro six UK and so I got
9:19
one and and I have two external screens
9:23
one is that I think I told you about
9:24
this screen it runs off of USB 3 yeah
9:28
really cool you just plug it into USB
9:31
and then it works it works
9:33
yeah so this rig is I gotta say I can do
9:36
my nails while running the show I'm
9:39
stunned at you you buy anything at
9:41
Costco why cuz you swore that you would
9:46
never never even Costco again I know but
9:49
then you know under me I heard you do
9:51
yes it took a woman's touch the
9:56
Perkins off the ledge the keeper
9:58
convinced me yeah - quick mentions up
10:04
front for those wondering No Agenda
10:05
social calm is currently offline and
10:09
that is because Aaron er who runs the
10:12
whole shebang says that there's some
10:14
horrible Linux comp compromised thing
10:17
going on that's been lurking deep in the
10:20
code for eight years and taking
10:26
everything offline until I can get it
10:28
patched or figure it out he's a security
10:30
expert in real life so you can act like
10:33
you can't even email me I'm taking my
10:35
email server off lines you're pretty
10:37
serious it was right as the Russia's
10:41
doing I don't know I couldn't find
10:44
anything report I couldn't find anything
10:46
online about it and he hasn't he can't
10:48
email me because he's he's he's
10:50
completely off the grid can he go to the
10:53
library maybe and send you a Gmail maybe
10:56
I don't know anyway so I've had my issue
11:04
I was doing Horowitz on Thursday did ehm
11:07
villagers day Thursday Tuesday every
11:11
Tuesday I said Thursday but I meant
11:13
Tuesday and everyone knows it's Tuesday
11:14
it's actually Sunday and and so I'm
11:17
talking yakkin yakkin yakkin and he's
11:20
not hearing anything or I'm not hearing
11:23
him he's heard me I hear everything you
11:25
say you typing so I said I'll let me
11:27
just this guy obviously one of the top
11:31
of Skype there's it man uses options
11:33
tools got all these things look there's
11:35
no where'd that go I'm looking at this
11:38
nut there so I think wait a minute I
11:39
prayed the wrong screen up and look at
11:41
another screen no this is a lot there
11:43
what happened to all this stuff and so
11:46
it's gone so you can't really do
11:49
anything and so I'm looking so I rely
11:51
how do I look at my audio settings so
11:54
the way you look at your audio settings
11:56
it turns out is you have to take the
11:59
pointer the little arrow flows on the
12:03
screen you have to put it into the box
12:05
the giant bugs and then up in the upper
12:08
right-hand corner
12:10
doesn't show up you mean doesn't show up
12:12
before you put your your pup your
12:14
pointer over the screen right yeah no
12:17
can I ask you ask you a couple questions
12:19
you know how to code yeah I've learned
12:22
why do I have to put okay I get the
12:25
screen it's like right now it's just a
12:26
big bling it's just a big black thing
12:28
with the picture of your little icon in
12:31
the middle and nothing else right right
12:32
as a little icon of my icon on the side
12:34
mmm now I'm gonna move the the pointer
12:38
into the box and now all of a sudden
12:41
your name shows up mm-hmm the little
12:44
phone the hang-up thing shows up a bunch
12:46
of stuff shows up and by the way if I
12:47
don't move the pointer it all goes away
12:50
yeah and there's a boom it just
12:52
disappeared I so I have to move the
12:54
pointer again so it all shows up again
12:55
what is the point of that why isn't this
12:58
information so I doesn't just stay put
13:01
is it is this an aesthetic thing that I
13:04
don't know you don't want to see all
13:06
this stuff because you just want to see
13:08
a big big giant black box you don't want
13:10
to know anything so unless I'm moving
13:12
the pointer around I don't see get to
13:14
see any of this stuff now so that little
13:16
gear up in the upper right hand corner
13:17
also goes away if you don't move let me
13:21
just say two things one a typical
13:25
Silicon Valley credo is we really want
13:27
the UI to get out of the way the UI
13:30
should get out of your way shouldn't be
13:31
in your way
13:32
so that's probably what's going on there
13:34
but remember Skype is we use it just for
13:37
audio I would say a lot of people use it
13:40
for video and that's really you know
13:43
that big black screen won't be there
13:44
because that would be the video from
13:47
your call participant
13:51
onward nothing's getting out of the way
13:56
the whole thing disappeared off the
13:57
screen I'd be more appreciative but it
13:59
doesn't so I'm moving to stick around so
14:00
this little gear in the corner so if I
14:02
go up to the gear and kick on it it
14:04
gives me it gives me a little classical
14:07
windows a little menu it says window
14:11
then it says it's float even mean
14:17
this is float it's the Russian that's
14:24
what I want it's the Russians they hate
14:27
you the microphone you know like a vu
14:33
meter and they get speakers and so I can
14:35
change one two it reckons change from
14:37
one speaker set to another or I can turn
14:40
off you know adjust speaker settings
14:42
automat and then there's something here
14:45
I can't see I see says test audio hey
14:47
you know I'm sorry you're so disturbed
14:50
by it but you do sound good so let's
14:54
just be happy it works that's the war
14:56
there you go there's your Silicon Valley
14:58
mantra and I think that is the silicon
15:00
but I'll just be hey you're lucky to be
15:03
alive now you're now you're transferring
15:08
your anger towards me and I just want to
15:10
do a show I just want to do a show I
15:12
don't get to see the jitter anymore I
15:14
don't get to see that I don't get to see
15:16
anything and worse is this little audio
15:18
and video settings thing at the bottom
15:20
you can see there's a little switch but
15:21
it's off screen and I can I get down to
15:24
it oh I can't okay never Mica's do that
15:25
Wow it's just it's just it was a lot
15:33
better before okay I got it I'm a little
15:35
bored now let's move on let's start the
15:37
show let's get something going people
15:39
don't have the same anger you do okay so
15:45
talking about tweeting here's Kamala
15:49
Harris when she was called out on the
15:52
tweet she made about that about the poor
15:55
about the Joomla guy whatever his name
15:57
is Jesse Smollett Jesse Jesse she said
16:02
it was a modern day lynching
16:03
somebody calls her out they'd ambushed
16:05
her in the mall or something they ask
16:08
you these questions and if you just
16:10
listen to her it's apparent she did not
16:12
write the tweet saying it was a lynching
16:14
she didn't even know it existed which
16:16
tweet what we other about saying that it
16:19
is a modern day lynching that and I'm
16:36
very concerned I really like this
16:40
because if you see the video she
16:42
actually turns her head and like what
16:45
tweet what tweet woman who does the
16:49
tweets and then she kicks into automatic
16:51
mode let me say this about that case one
16:55
of our favors let me say this about that
17:00
we have to figure it out still unfolding
17:04
is what she said it's still unfolding
17:06
but she has to go back into the people
17:09
have to stop and by the way I thought
17:11
this was the excuse Roger stone could
17:13
use cuz he got called out cuz Roger
17:14
stone who is arrested that he find they
17:17
threw a gag order on him cuz he couldn't
17:19
stop talking and so then he tweeted
17:21
something and they brought him back into
17:22
court and shoot him out for it and I'm
17:24
thinking he's missing out he can now say
17:28
I don't tweet my I don't do my own
17:31
tweets I can't I don't even know how to
17:32
use Twitter because I don't think half
17:36
of these politicians are doing their own
17:37
tweets I think it's already know and we
17:40
had insiders tell us that Trump doesn't
17:41
do them all know what's the point if
17:45
you're not if you know Bhama never did
17:47
his if you remember when Obama had the
17:49
Obama account mm-hmm he would have there
17:52
was the President Obama account he it
17:54
said in the on the bio it says all
17:58
tweets written by the president are
18:01
followed by the letters B oh yes I do
18:04
remember that yeah because he wasn't
18:06
doing those tweets so if nobody's doing
18:10
the tweets what's the point of all this
18:12
bullcrap all you got to remember is when
18:15
it comes to Jesse Smollett people are
18:17
until alleged to be involved in some
18:20
type of criminal activity there you go
18:23
[Music]
18:25
I do have a couple of uh I do have a
18:27
couple of fun clips about this my
18:29
favorite which we'll start with in case
18:31
we get bored he's Don LeMond last night
18:34
oh man so watch this guy well Tina was
18:39
having coffee with her daughter and so
18:41
I'm sitting alone I'm switching back and
18:43
forth just to see what people were doing
18:45

18:48
this small that case yeah which I don't
18:51
know I mean there's 20 people a a week

18:55
about that in Chicago no one ever talks
18:58
about it on the on the mainstream cable
19:00
news no no this is much more important
19:02
yeah now one person has even mentioned
19:04
but I thought the fun thing about Don
19:06
Lemon the overnight sensation is that
19:09
it's he when he talks is all about him
19:12
about how important he is how fantastic
19:15
he is and of course he's gonna throw
19:16

19:20
worldwide news every nit everywhere in
19:23
Europe everyone knows how important this
19:25
is what consumes us here in the United
19:28
States so I'm not so interested in the
19:30
case as I am about how the media
19:32
responds to themselves you gotta listen

so it's a little bit personal for me and
20:45
I'll tell you why because that's when I
20:47
met him
20:48
oh I was asked to come on the show play
20:50
myself and a little cameo I got he said
20:52
he a little cameo you know I'm Don Lemon
20:55
here to play myself on the show this is
20:57
where I met him introduced himself and
20:59
he said I'm a big fan of you know I love
21:01
your work it's good to have you here on
21:03
the set so he introduced himself to
21:07
Jesse and Jesse said I love your work
21:10
big fan Don you're the best about
21:14
themselves that's real ego right there
21:17
itself in a little cameo I got he said
21:19
he introduced himself and he said I'm a
21:21
big fan of you know I love your work
21:23
it's good to have you here on the set a
21:25
very nice guy we chatted for a couple
21:29
times after that I saw him I just I've
21:31
seen Don Lemon drunk on CNN I just
21:34
wonder if that's hot what hey how you
21:36
doing hey Don I really loved you work or
21:38
was it more like feeling was a little
21:45
different maybe when he came to New York
21:47
a couple of times I know him not best
21:50
friends but not best friends all of a
21:52
sudden I do know him so I spoke to him
21:54
while he was at the hospital not best
21:57
friends or anything his friend who was
21:59
there not really best friends there you
22:11
have called people who you don't have a
22:13
good friendship with to get the hospital
22:16
you don't do it and I think he says his
22:18
friend Ted the Jesse's friend texts
22:20
Jesse's friend texted Don and then Don
22:23
called because not really his friend
22:25
just whatever I do know him so I spoke
22:28
to him while he was at the hospital
22:31
his friend who was there texted me in
22:33
the middle of the night and said hey
22:34
this happened to Jesse I called a friend
22:37
the friend happened to be there and he
22:39
just he said Oh Jesse's here here's the
22:41
phone so he told me in his own words
22:42
what he said happened but I've also got
22:46
to tell you to be quite honest
22:48
oh that a lot of people including people
22:52
in the community my favorite which
22:57
community Don people of color and gay
23:00
people it's the people of color
23:02
community or is that a separate
23:04
community gay people people of color is
23:06
that a community Don would know Don and
23:10
Jesse they are the community but listen
23:13
to how he's saying he what he can't
23:15
bring himself to say I'd I doubted this
23:18
I didn't think this where this was
23:19
bullcrap from the beginning no other
23:21
people were people just people not Don
23:23
people including people in the community
23:26
people of color and gay people had
23:30
questions about this from the very
23:33
beginning the veracity of this story a
23:37
lot of people were reasonably skeptical
23:40
about Jesse's story some of the details
23:42
just didn't seem to make sense and as we
23:46
always say around here yeah I realized
23:58
so they stay around here fact first fact
24:01
for me that's right hey um that was
24:05
weird
24:07
oh this fact-check false i was looking
24:08
for i didn't mean to shoot anybody so it
24:11
was fun to watch it people's heads
24:12
explode and this was yesterday Charles
24:16
blow of the New York Times see I think
24:18
he's a columnist not a reporter and he's
24:22
he just couldn't wrap his head around it
24:25
well listen if jessie has done what this
24:28
police say he has done it's not just
24:32
that he's an actor Brian this is insane
24:34
person this is this is a psychopath like
24:46
what do you mean in this history this
24:50
guy never heard of this guy I mean I may
24:52
have seen him on the show but I've never
24:54
heard of this guy didn't know he has a
24:55
history he's not a public a big shot
24:58
celebrity that's on TMZ all the time
25:01
that we would know anything about him
25:02
know was Charles blow one of his pals no
25:06
I think like Don Lemon he's just not his
25:08
best friend you know they just met yeah
25:10
you really liked he really liked
25:12
Michaels work you know I love your work
25:14
and I'm Michael Charles Charles blow
25:16
great name love your work nothing by the
25:24
way I think Jesse got around and there's
25:27
pictures of him hanging out with
25:28
everybody so maybe not you know to the
25:31
public that much but definitely the
25:34
Hollywood set and the political set
25:36
people waiting trying to figure out like
25:38
please what what's the motive because
25:43
nothing at one time he was he met him
25:49
nothing in his history he was the
25:50
sweetest I mean he was just he was just
25:52
a great guy I mean how could he do
25:53
anything crazy and one time he was the
25:56
sweetest no but I just met him I think
26:07
these guys are covering something mop
26:08
the way they're presenting it well
26:10
shouldn't they just say you know no I
26:15
think it's there so chicken shit to be
26:18
associated with them that they they
26:20
can't
26:20
they can't say I'm really disappointed
26:21
he's my friend I can't believe that he
26:23
did this or if he did it or if true or
26:26
whatever it is no no they just this is
26:28
what you get in the community yeah this
26:31
is your community brethren right here
26:40
she's a big fan he was the most gracious
26:43
person I like that New York Times writer
26:48
here but he took pictures with people
26:50
when they asked he's so awesome about
27:01
why you would do this mm-hmm we'll find
27:05
out maybe two more just because because
27:09
we have because I have him this this is
27:11
the part of the story I'm very
27:13
interested in which I haven't been able
27:14
to get any more information on also this
27:16
morning we're working to get more
27:17
information about why Cook County
27:19
State's Attorney Kim Fox decided to step
27:21
down from this case Cook County State's
27:24
Attorney Kim Fox has recused herself
27:25
from the case her office saying out of
27:28
an abundance of caution the decision to
27:29
recuse herself was made to address
27:31
potential questions of impartiality
27:33
based upon familiarity with potential
27:36
witnesses in the case
27:37
I'd like to know what wouldn't potential
27:39
witnesses in the case but that's very
27:42
odd very odd this well now as you bring
27:48
all this weird stuff up yeah well
27:50
there's there's one other thing I
27:51
noticed just because everyone's trying
27:53
to figure out what really happened and
27:58
the basic theory is sure the basic
28:02
theory was that a couple of weeks
28:04
earlier he got a threatening note unless
28:07
of poison-pen letter toss style yeah Jon
28:12
who in 2019 still cuts out letters from
28:16
a magazine to paste it on paper to
28:18
threaten someone who does that when is
28:23
the last Son of Sam I mean who was the
28:26
last one to do that
28:27
it's crazy thing and he made us fuss
28:30
about it and it got zero
28:32
attention right because it was bogus and
28:35
I guess everyone's sense that it was and
28:37
so he got Kirk by the fact that no one
28:39
was paying any attention to him it's
28:41
just like this could happen to Don Lemon
28:42
by the way and we went off the rails and
28:46
hired a couple of people to do this to
28:47
create the situation up he was just
28:50
upping the ante to get some he needed
28:52
some press TMZ wasn't talking about him
28:56
that is that's the basic theory yeah I
28:59
say I really don't believe that I really
29:02
don't believe that people people do
29:04
things to get press not this something
29:07
else is happening it was I think it was
29:09
an excuse that he needed remember the
29:13
initial thinking here in Austin was he
29:16
was involved in some weird sex thing and
29:18
there's yeah but I'll tell you why I'm
29:20
still hanging on to that he flew in to
29:23
Chicago that evening from I don't know
29:25
where and but he posted on Instagram wow
29:28
it was only a two-hour flight but it
29:30
took me seven hours to get here I'm like
29:32
what happened in those five hours what
29:33
flight was it was he really on the
29:35
tarmac for five hours was he stuck
29:37
somewhere else
29:37
he didn't Instagram anything during
29:40
those seven hours that he's there were
29:42
five of them that he's not flying
29:44
what happened seems like there's an
29:46
extra five hours he did something and
29:49
exaggerated he was stuck in he was
29:51
coming in from New York which I have to
29:53
assume he could have been delayed by a
29:55
couple hours because of that jet stream
29:57
incident which happened I don't know
30:01
it's just these two brothers they seem
30:03
gay to me
30:04
okay well now it's you're gonna bring
30:06
that up I will bring up another
30:07
possibility which seems to be what
30:09
they're talking about in Austin which
30:11
and we have this situation in San
30:13
Francisco he had a city supervisor who
30:15
was one of these guys there are certain
30:17
members of the gay of the male gay
30:19
community who who like to get beat up
30:22
mm-hmm yes this is kind of where Austin
30:24
was going yeah so they get the community
30:29
you said community I love that they
30:32
getting beat up community is the
30:35
community I believe and they get beat up
30:38
and we had a City Councilman here that
30:40
would one of these guys there's been
30:41
other ones and there's been a couple
30:43
comics that were these guys
30:45
and they would go would look to get beat
30:47
up and have somebody kicked the crap out
30:49
of him he was either just a couple of
30:51
random guys or somebody there's another
30:53
gay a guy who wants to who likes to beat
30:56
guys up so that possibility is is the
30:59
real one
31:00
but why would he then pin it on a bunch
31:02
of Magha guys cuz he was embarrassed
31:03
about this behavior or know it maybe
31:06
that was his whole fantasy to get this
31:12
as long as we're hey crackpots my name
31:14
don't wear it out
31:16
anyway that's not a bad theory well and
31:20
then so he got the cut on his face
31:22
couple of Trump ruffians
31:24
we got the cut on his face he has to
31:25
explain it and then he comes up with a
31:27
story and then you think I'll just go
31:29
report it and it turns out the cops like
31:30
they take it seriously show me your
31:32
phone like I can't show you my phone
31:33
anyway here's the wrap-up for me this
31:36
was Good Morning America they was
31:38
robbing is it
31:40
Robin right Robin me no Robert rice deaq
31:44
yeah no the Robin Robin who's she's a
31:48
community member and she interviewed
31:50
Josie and you know this is the depth
31:55
interview where apparently he just lied
31:57
so this is very upset this morning and
31:59
they brought in sunny Hostin from the
32:01
view who's an attorney as you know to
32:03
Robin Roberts that's her name to discuss
32:06
this you know as a former prosecutor I
32:08
will tell you that what is very
32:10
difficult about this case is many many
32:13
hours of you know were spent
32:15
investigating it and Chicago is a very
32:17
very this area is a very very high crime
32:20
area and so those police hours could
32:22
have been spent investigating right now
32:24
is that they didn't use resources that
32:27
would have been used on other homicides
32:28
but there are clearly costs involved
32:30
here and any settlement would have to
32:32
involve paying back those claims back
32:33
those cause and also think about the
32:35
larger issue here which is the chilling
32:37
effect on victims crime victims coming
32:40
forward I spent many many many hours
32:42
trying to get victims of crimes to come
32:45
forward to testify against their abusers
32:47
against their attackers and they didn't
32:49
want to come forward because people they
32:51
thought would not believe them they
32:53
thought that there would be
32:53
repercussions they thought that there
32:55
would be consequences this
32:57
type of crime if true has a tremendous
33:00
chilling effect this this touches all
33:01
the Buckner's it does I mean it's a step
33:04
back for race relations homophobia a Mac
33:07
of supporters the fingers are pointed at
33:10
them yes I mean I cannot think of
33:12
another case where there's just there's
33:13
this anger on so many sides and and you
33:16
can understand why there would be if and
33:20
the best part still remains not a single
33:22
one of them says wow we have some part
33:25
in this he has almost single-handedly
33:29
had this chilling effect on the LGBTQ
33:32
community on the black community on on a
33:35
lot of communities on that guys getting
33:37
beat up community victims and just
33:40
there's already this divisive nough
33:42
seeing in our country a deal in this
33:45
kind of case this kind of high-profile
33:47
case I think may be very difficult to
33:49
come back yeah I think that's right and
33:51
again when you watch I think your
33:53
interview is gonna be evidence in this
33:55
case I mean that that sort of locks him
33:58
in there to a particular account and
34:00
when you watch God it is so hard to
34:02
watch that again who say now talking
34:05
about how anyone who would ever make
34:07
something up like this etc and that's
34:09
what everyone in America is thinking
34:10
right now is exactly what he said is we
34:13
should be mindful he is of course
34:15
entitled to the presumption of innocence
34:17
but my goodness if a grand jury has
34:19
indicted him he has been arrested no
34:21
people are innocent until well alleged
34:24
to be involved in some type of criminal
34:25
activity that's the CIA director ok
34:27
Robin that's how it works
34:29
because he has me but he has never yet
34:30
said he still said he hadn't done it
34:33
brothers they're saying one thing he
34:34
sent another how do you get through that
34:36
he says she said you look for objective
34:38
evidence you look for something that is
34:40
beyond just accounts you look for texts
34:43
emails
34:44
IRRI seats videos surveillance etc and a
34:48
fight though I mean it is possible tell
34:50
me if I'm wrong here but it is possible
34:52
that if in that statement he gave to the
34:53
police this morning he comes out he then
34:55
confesses and says I did do this that
34:57
could be the path
34:59
okay I'm sorry I'm a community member
35:03
let me go absolutely if you take
35:05
responsibility prosecutors always look
35:08
very very kindly on that I always did
35:10
but that doesn't necessarily mean you
35:11
get a deal I mean it still could mean
35:13
you're pleading guilty to the crime you
35:14
were charged with and you can't really
35:15
because the brothers are not getting
35:17
immunity here right the brothers
35:19
indication you know one occasion their
35:21
lawyer is saying they don't need
35:22
immunity right then their lawyers saying
35:24
that that that there's nothin CERN yeah
35:27
it's fine the media is shameful here
35:30
they already were because they took it
35:32
at face value whatever was on Huffington
35:34
Post and BuzzFeed and everyone's in the
35:37
blue checkmark Twittersphere and they're
35:40
all that and I remember Stephanie ruhle
35:43
crying on air and just just to show you
35:52
how insignificant this is fashion house
35:56
Burberry didn't think about it
35:58
Burberry is apologizing over a London
36:00
Fashion Week outfit featuring a hoodie
36:02
with a noose around the neck I'm in an
36:04
online controversy suggesting the
36:05
fashion retailer has pulled the item
36:07
which was featured in its autumn winter
36:08
collection called tempest so apparently
36:12
they had a marine theme and they thought
36:14
this this it's a slipknot
36:17
basically but it's very unfortunate very
36:21
unfortunate yes idiots
36:26
let's marketing person to Apple years
36:30
ago and it hasn't been the same sense is
36:32
that work oh really
36:35
a Polly beak aim the kind of one of the
36:38
Chiefs over there no did she do retail
36:42
retail she does the stores she just left
36:45
sorry she just left Apple oh she did oh
36:48
yeah which i think is a bad sign
36:50
personally oh yeah
36:52
probably these people like that is not
36:55
it just I always like to say there's
36:57
always somebody in an organization that
36:59
is recessed the John Lasseter effect I
37:01
think you're gonna see a lot of mistakes
37:03
made and a lot of money lost and a lot
37:05
of stuff that in the large amounts of
37:08
money because Lassiter's not there you
37:11
know the big hugger over it picks
37:13
Pixar they had to go cuz he hugged too
37:15
many people right it was politically
37:18
incorrect a hug in California mind you
37:22
so he's out but he was the guy cuz his
37:25
name was never he was never producing
37:27
abies writing a lot of this stuff but he
37:28
was mostly a script fixer and a guy he
37:31
was the guy but say no no no that's we
37:33
don't do that because of this no no you
37:35
can't do this and it's and after a while
37:37
I guess it gets on your nerves you get
37:39
some guy telling you not to do stuff but
37:41
you need those people and you get rid of
37:44
him and next thing you know you're gonna
37:46
see issues Toy Story 4 already has
37:50
issues I think that's another movie I
37:53
probably won't go and watch anyways
37:55
no no skin off my nose on this I was
38:00
gonna stay in the community but yeah
38:04
continue with what you were well I'm
38:07
going to stay in the LGBTQ community
38:10
although I believe it's LGBTQ QA apk the
38:15
Trump administration launching a
38:16
fantastic initiative to stop the
38:21
aggression and hostility towards gay
38:26
people around the world with a slight
38:29
little twist NBC News is reporting
38:31
exclusively that the Trump
38:33
administration is now launching a global
38:35
campaign to stop countries around the
38:37
world from criminalizing homosexuality
38:39
especially countries where being gay can
38:42
lead to the death penalty know what
38:44
countries do we have hmm let me see what
38:48
country could the be number one on their
38:50
list he was ambassador to Germany
38:51
Richard Grinnell the highest profile
38:53
openly gay person at a high rank in the
38:55
Trump administration unbelievable as a
38:57
gay guy in the Trump administration it's
38:59
can't be true leading this effort
39:00
kicking off tonight in Berlin joining me
39:03
now from Berlin NBC national political
39:05
reporter josh letterman
39:06
who broke the story Josh tell me about
39:09
what what propelled this why did Rick
39:12
Crennel take this on well Andrea here in
39:14
Berlin tonight Rick Grinnell will be
39:16
kicking off this campaign that involves
39:18
a lot of other US embassies as well as
39:20
the State Department's Bureau that deals
39:22
with human rights issues to try to get
39:26
contracted well if you wait what they
39:29
put a guy with a lisp to report this
39:32
well listen he's in the community it's
39:36
not the Lisp is not the giveaway but
39:39
he's in the community means Bureau that
39:41
deals with human rights issues to try to
39:44
get countries that still outlaw
39:47
homosexuality to change their laws what
39:49
led to this well one major thing was the
39:52
reported recent hanging of a young gay
39:55
man in Iran back on your old thesis from
40:06
number of years ago you wanted to get
40:09
something done start killing gay you
40:11
gotta throw some gays off the roof
40:13
that's what people pay attention yeah
40:16
we've done the show we have been
40:18
concluding that Iran is the target of a
40:22
war
40:23
yes rubble isin campaign yes it's really
40:27
on deck and well let me just dislike
40:30
twenty seconds left let's see if there's
40:31
anything left send diskless I'm think
40:32
that US officials found to be quite
40:34
disturbing and they wanted to take
40:35
action against this of course this plays
40:37
right into the Trump administration
40:39
strategy to try to isolate Iran
40:41
denigrate Iran and it helps the Trump
40:44
administration find a point of agreement
40:46
with European countries about Iran that
40:49
has been quite lacking as the
40:51
administration has been trying but
40:52
failing to get European countries to
40:55
leave the Iran nuclear deal
40:58
yes very perceptive reporting from MSNBC
41:02
that was that was a pretty they know
41:04
what they're doing I think they're just
41:05
slumped into it why don't they I mean I
41:07
presume that we'll also go after Saudi
41:10
Arabia I'm pretty sure they don't like
41:15
their community members over there
41:18
Shh so okay very cynical President Trump
41:23
very very cynical
41:26
it's an Iran where they're killing him
41:28
left and right stoning us nowhere else
41:31
that's good well I want to go back to
41:35
the black side of things cuz I got a
41:37
note from the incog-negro ah he's still
41:40
around
41:41
hey listen to the show but he doesn't
41:43
like to admit it but he's become it he
41:45
just hates the show is he on reddit cuz
41:49
he should go hang out there but he did
41:54
turn me on to the he did turn me on to
41:57
something called a das and it's a new
42:00
kind of it's burgeoning it's not it's
42:02
not big yet but there but it's I've out
42:05
give you an example but his attitude
42:07
toward us though I'm gonna read from his
42:10
note not that I'm expecting anything
42:14
remarkable from a couple of professed
42:16
white guys whose politics lean toward
42:19
the maintenance of privilege but here's
42:24
a rejoinder for you if you care to reply
42:26
to end Adams insight about Harris's
42:29
great-great-grandmother her
42:31
great-grandmother or whatever but he
42:33
doesn't really give me a rejoinder he
42:35
gives me some info I'm on this thing
42:37
called a das which is Americans the
42:40
hell's the thing of it American American
42:42
descendants of slavery oh and this is a
42:45
new organization and this you can find
42:47
at a dot-com or something like that it
42:50
is run by a couple of people that are
42:53
they've got a lot of political chops
42:55
they've been in the business a lot but
42:57
one of them does a little podcast every
42:58
once in awhile and I'd love to get an
43:02
interview with her her name is where is
43:07
her Yvette Carnell mm-hmm it's at the
43:11
bottom I have two clips from her to give
43:14
you a taste of her kind of ranting out
43:16
this ranting was done before the
43:17
election it's one of her she keeps up
43:20
the top of the page she also does a she
43:22
does a podcast both these guys do
43:24
podcasts most these people in the 8th US
43:26
and it's kind of a it's a kind of a back
43:30
door into reparation
43:31
and I think it's something to follow
43:33
because the people are have a have a lot
43:36
of still bubbling under this topic of
43:38
reparations it's it's definitely there
43:40
these two may have they may have a
43:43
different angle but if vet is really an
43:46
interesting person from her perspective
43:47
and I don't even like playing these
43:50
clips because these are like messages to
43:52
the black community from a member of the
43:54
black member a black person actually
43:56
she's on board with this community thing
43:59
being bullcrap and I just want to play
44:01
these two clips which I thought were
44:03
both funny let's play the first one you
44:06
know we have a community in collapse and
44:08
why I despise the people that go on
44:11
MSNBC like joy Reed and the people that
44:14
she has on our show is because day in
44:16
and day out they lots of black people
44:18
they say no Donald Trump is wrong you're
44:21
doing better than that look at me I'm on
44:23
TV look at me I'm just woman I'm
44:25
interviewing she has a company and they
44:27
say we're doing better than that and the
44:28
truth is they're lying and they lie to
44:31
us every day and that's why I'm so sick
44:34
I'm sorry I try not the person I said
44:35
I'm sick of joy read I'm sick of the
44:37
people to see who bites on her show I'm
44:39
sitting first speaking on behalf of
44:41
black people I'm sick of Charles blow
44:43
speaking on behalf of black people I
44:45
don't represent black people and neither
44:46
do these people the data represents you
44:49
though so what I want you to do is just
44:51
get involved in the data everything out
44:54
everything I've said on here can be
44:56
proven everything I've said on here
44:58
there's a data that supports it don't
44:59
just listen to people who are lying to
45:01
you and don't just believe because you
45:03
went to brunch on Sunday that you're a
45:04
part of the middle class why don't you
45:07
like playing this I think that's
45:08
hilarious oh it is good but it seems
45:10
seems a little it's a little harsh oh
45:13
yeah we got to this from the community
45:15
member the incog-negro she has the yeah
45:19
well he didn't tell me to play these
45:20
clips he just told me he just what else
45:22
did he said a couple of nasty things
45:24
she's nasty guy Trump got elected a lot
45:29
of he's become a negative force oh so
45:32
here she is again talking about another
45:34
general kind of complaint of hers which
45:37
I thought I thought was highly amusing
45:39
she her basic argument is that black
45:41
people as a whole are poor and
45:44
[Music]
45:45
Trump has said this and he's bitched
45:47
about the community being poor and I
45:48
need help and she says just because
45:50
Trump said that doesn't mean he's wrong
45:52
like everyone says he's wrong because
45:53
he's Trump Jen she says he's right and
45:56
she's trying to like you know to get
45:59
people to look at the stats cuz the
46:00
stats aren't good and as opposed to the
46:03
bold crap that we were being presented
46:04
by rich blacks but let's play the second
46:07
clip so you know the one thing that I
46:08
wish that's one channel only but I'll
46:11
live all of these hip-hop people would
46:16
stop just posing in front of a car every
46:19
time they got some money you know it's
46:21
funny we don't see Bill Gates right now
46:22
he has more money and out and put
46:24
together you we don't see him every time
46:26
he gets a new car pose in front of a car
46:28
because it's just stupid it's just what
46:31
children do so what you see with a lot
46:33
of these black celebrities is that
46:35
they're they're their children and grown
46:37
people's bodies they're still bragging
46:38
about their cars and the things they
46:40
have and the thing is we know that you
46:42
know the bankruptcy is coming so I don't
46:44
even know why anybody cheers that on
46:46
because the minute the bankruptcy comes
46:47
you say oh my gosh I can't believe why
46:49
did he why did he take care of his money
46:50
more because he needed to tell because
46:52
you needed him to be wealthy you needed
46:54
him to put on this fake and his
46:55
fraudulent thing you know so that's the
46:58
only reason if it wasn't for black
47:01
athletes if it wasn't for black
47:02
celebrities we wouldn't we wouldn't know
47:04
that black people don't have money if it
47:06
wasn't for credit if you had to pay cash
47:08
to go get a house like you have to do in
47:10
third-world countries you would know
47:11
that you're poor there is you don't let
47:13
your poor is because you can go and get
47:15
alone you know it's interesting I and I
47:17
clipped it in like tossed it cuz I
47:19
didn't think it was that good and I wish
47:20
I'd kept it Obama did a speech on behalf
47:23
of his library or foundation and he said
47:27
something very similar he said you know
47:29
if you're really what do you say if if
47:33
you really secure about yourself you
47:35
don't need eight women twerking around
47:37
in front of you very similar to that
47:39
I'll have to I'll have to bring it in
47:41
for
47:42
for Sunday yeah why Tom even knew hmm I
47:49
mean I'll keep track of these these
47:51
folks because it seems that they have
47:54
they have a message that's a little more
47:56
realistic yeah it's real they have a
48:00
realistic message nothing needs to be
48:02
achieved to get the results are looking
48:05
for and so far as the problem is but all
48:09
she's really doing it's all she's doing
48:11
is saying do your own research figure
48:13
people won't do that very few people at
48:15
people who are produced to no agenda
48:17
show do that but it's a small community
48:19
you know people just like to be fed
48:23
stuff it's way beyond waking people up
48:25
whereas asleep well these little
48:28
lectures that she does or I think very
48:32
snap people and few people but I'd like
48:34
to keep your eye on the on her I want to
48:36
hear more and thank you incog-negro for
48:38
introducing us via via to this now I
48:42
wanted I've done a lot of or as much as
48:44
I could research on Venezuela I have
48:48
some things to share and I really have
48:50
to start with Haiti because turns out
48:52
these two are related
48:54
we've had these riots going on in Haiti
48:59
what's going on why is that happening
49:01
was the we in fact Haiti was my beat
49:04
right after the 2011 2011 earthquake
49:08
thing was 2011 it was 10 years ago
49:11
yeah 2009 a while ago and I remember it
49:21
being very odd because there was this
49:23
earthquake that was very shallow in
49:25
depth and it destroyed Haiti did nothing
49:27
to the Dominican Republic it's the same
49:29
landmass the same island they had
49:32
nothing now of course Haiti you know is
49:34
a shanty town almost so it's it's always
49:38
been problematic but you got to have a
49:40
lot of respect for the Haitians as in 10
49:42
2010 a lot of respect for the Haitians
49:45
as they are still to date I think the
49:47
only country that really kicked their
49:49
overlords out being France although they
49:51
were left with some huge debt that they
49:53
they will never be able to pay off
49:56
and I was listening a couple of people
49:58
emailed me at Jer about Jeremy Scahill
50:00
podcasts the intercepted the intercept
50:03
podcast Danny and he had a couple of
50:06
very interesting people on so I want to
50:09
share some clips from this and podcast
50:10
is really where we get the the real info
50:12
from these days but first let's go back
50:15
and this is let me see did I have
50:20
because he has two guests on and this em
50:25
Tim eyes kim eyes is a journal who works
50:31
for some Haitian newspaper which also
50:34
has a Brooklyn office and he's gonna
50:37
give us a little backstory on what was
50:39
happening just before after during and
50:42
after the earthquake in 2010 the first
50:44
thing that prevailed did when he came
50:46
into power after his second election was
50:50
signed the Petrocaribe deal with Vincent
50:52
de Rangel the Venezuelan vice-president
50:55
so he signs this agreement and it took
50:59
them two years basically to get the oil
51:01
really flowing and get the Petrocaribe
51:03
fund this capital fund so the u.s. now
51:07
was pissed about this and here comes the
51:09
earthquake and they say ah here's the
51:12
golden opportunity so they basically
51:14
took over provides government the
51:16
Pentagon who landed 20,000 US troops
51:20
with no invitation from Haiti no but we
51:22
forget so quickly don't only what what a
51:24
big deal this was it was covered
51:26
everywhere we had everyone on TV
51:28
shilling for the Haiti foundation send
51:32
us money
51:33
the Clintons of course this was this was
51:36
a big deal permission even from Haiti
51:38
send in Hillary Clinton to start to
51:41
stage manage everything and then Bill
51:44
Clinton's running the ad interim
51:46
recovery Commission and together the
51:49
Clintons played prominent roles after
51:51
the earthquake
51:52
as for-profit companies and aid
51:55
organizations rushed in to be part of a
51:58
ten billion dollar reconstruction
52:00
program they passed a law state of
52:02
emergency and basically took over the
52:04
government and started to bring in of
52:06
course all the usual contractors you
52:08
know Brown and Root and Halliburton
52:11
Halliburton etc etc rebuilding so we all
52:15
kind of remember that and wound up I
52:17
think the total tally was six houses
52:19
that were built they have a mobile phone
52:22
network which is now the banking system
52:25
all mobile everything is paid through
52:26
through micro payments on mobile another
52:29
one of the clintons buddies came in to
52:31
do that is I think there's a Clinton
52:32
hotel I'm not mistaken I think there was
52:36
something that's on the other Shore so
52:38
they it's where they had its the deep
52:40
water so they can you know roll around
52:43
whatever and of course if you look at
52:44
the map Haiti is just north of the
52:47
Venezuela and that's why they had this
52:48
pipeline and then all sudden the
52:50
earthquake came along blew up that
52:52
pipeline that's all gone
52:54
and why well looks like this deal they
52:56
cut with the Caribe which was a loan
53:00
that was part of the problem what is
53:03
happening on the ground right now in
53:04
Haiti well it's an uprising similar to
53:07
30 years ago in he ended up having to be
53:29
flown out of Haiti on a US Air Force
53:32
plane to a golden exile in France but
53:35
the rebellion continued for the next
53:37
five years and resulted in the election
53:40
of jean-bertrand Aristide in 1990 so I
53:45
feel we're in a similar period basically
53:47
the people are fed up with this neo de
53:51
valor' is been in power basically since
53:54
2011
53:55
thanks to Hillary Clinton and Bill
53:58
Clinton who facilitated the rise of
54:01
Michel Martelly
54:03
who was able to
54:06
capture the presidency and then plunder
54:09
the Petrocaribe fund that Venezuela had
54:13
provided Haiti about four billion
54:14
dollars worth of oil revenues thereby
54:17
have his a successor elected who is
54:20
Chauvin Elmo is the guy currently in
54:22
power so the people are fed up with the
54:24
corruption and with the misery that
54:27
they're in because the money that was
54:29
supposed to go for development programs
54:31
that Hugo Chavez envisioned happening
54:33
instead went into chalets and fast cars
54:36
no so I think the people are pissed
54:38
about that so you know they I guess this
54:46
is the the little quick clip of white
54:48
what is being blamed on this rioting in
54:50
February the International Monetary Fund
54:52
agreed to give Haiti ninety six million
54:55
dollars in much-needed funds but only if
54:58
the government agreed to several
54:59
measures one of which was raising the
55:02
price of a government subsidized fuel
55:03
yeah by fifty percent so people are
55:06
flipping out and we have a big hand in
55:10
this and this is where it starts to fold
55:12
in to Venezuela with something called
55:14
the what is it the OAS the Organization
55:19
of American States right it's the major
55:22
just got like a UN of yeah yeah well
55:26
this is where it gets interesting the US
55:28
basically sees Haiti as a pawn in their
55:31
war against Venezuela they can't do it
55:33
through the UN Security Council their
55:35
usual fig-leaf because of the problems
55:38
now with Russia and China who are going
55:40
to put the kibosh on that with their
55:42
veto in the Security Council so they
55:45
have to go to the junior varsity which
55:47
is of course the OAS the Organization of
55:49
American States would but Cuba rightly
55:52
calls Washington's Ministry of colonial
55:54
affairs so they're trying to push
55:57
through this Democratic Charter which
56:01
was passed on September 11 2001 which
56:05
basically says if two-thirds of the 35
56:08
members of the OAS can vote together
56:12
they can intervene in another country
56:15
right now they have 19 votes Haiti voted
56:20
against sanctioning Venezuela in March
56:23
2017 OAS vote then there was another
56:26
vote last year and they abstained but
56:30
this year on January 10th finally the
56:33
brow beating and the bullying and the
56:35
bribery maybe came to fruition and they
56:39
voted with Washington that Nicolas
56:42
Maduro was illegitimate after receiving
56:44
these four billion dollars in
56:46
Petrocaribe funds so that was really the
56:48
spark that set off the rebellion we're
56:50
seeing today the people said come on
56:52
that's just too much so we couldn't do
56:55
it through the United Nations and I'm
56:57
saying we as in the United States so
56:59
yeah you know let's maybe they work
57:01
these OAS there's also a new group
57:04
called the Lima group which is all these
57:07
Caribbean islands and they also have you
57:09
know they have pledged to not let
57:11
Venezuela go down in flames and a new
57:14
member to that group is Guiana and this
57:18
is what Rick Rex Tillerson was all about
57:22
there is a new oil field that has been
57:25
discovered off the coast of Guiana it's
57:29
right next to Venezuela and even though
57:33
it's invented Guyana's territorial
57:35
waters venezuela claims this and this i
57:39
think this thing was discovered in very
57:41
early on 2008 or something and no one
57:45
really had anything going on because it
57:47
was dispute as to who owned it and exxon
57:49
under Rex Tillerson made a deal to start
57:52
drilling there and this thing is
57:53
supposed to be bigger than than the
57:55
field that Venezuela has existing and
57:59
much lighter and and therefore I think
58:02
more valuable yeah Trude is much much
58:05
much lighter so everyone is vying for
58:08
this and this is what it's about that's
58:09
why everyone is in there interestingly
58:11
Exxon only they're the majority
58:14
shareholder 60 percent but they also
58:16
have the CNOOC in there the Chinese oil
58:19
company they own 25% now a little bit of
58:22
Venezuela little bit of Guiana and I
58:24
think maybe some French or something or
58:25
in there um this is what it's about
58:28
that's what Tillerson was after and I
58:30
don't know
58:31
if the agendas crossed between Trump and
58:35
Tillerson but for sure now that I look
58:37
at in context of the wall I think Trump
58:41
has a very if it's him or if it's
58:43
neo-cons or whoever the hell it is I
58:45
think it's him
58:47
he has a very very cynical plan underway
58:49
listen to what he said this was in Miami
58:55
hello Miami I am thrilled to be back in
58:58
the state I love with so many proud
59:00
freedom loving Patriots we're here to
59:04
proclaim a new day is coming in Latin
59:08
America it's a new day is co not just
59:12
saying in Venezuela be saying in Latin
59:15
America a new day is coming I think the
59:18
plan is to well have whether it's rubble
59:22
eyes and rebuild but we're going to
59:24
capture this this is the this is the
59:26
plan and you need a wall because
59:28
everyone's going to be coming up north
59:30
it's yes you need the wall because yeah
59:37
okay we don't we don't technically need
59:39
the wall but we do need the wall for
59:41
this reason this yes the future yes yes
59:44
and and you know it's gonna be a quick
59:46
strategy what Trump did this is George
59:51
chikka rillo he said with a think tank
59:54
was explicitly to pressure not just the
59:56
inner circle of Maduro but also military
59:59
leaders more broadly he sort of gave
1:00:01
them an ultimatum he said you know you
1:00:03
would you like to live out the rest of
1:00:05
your lives
1:00:06
comfortably with your families or do you
1:00:08
want to go down with this sinking ship
1:00:09
so it was explicitly a threat it's the
1:00:11
same increasingly desperate attempt to
1:00:13
split the Venezuelan military Trump and
1:00:16
the in the Venezuelan opposition thought
1:00:18
that this would happen immediately it of
1:00:19
course didn't and so now what they're
1:00:21
really trying to do is to turn the
1:00:22
screws and to up the narrative and in
1:00:25
the rhetorical is sort of fire toward
1:00:28
Venezuela to make it a broad historical
1:00:30
shift this is explicit interventionism
1:00:33
and it's attempt to of course an attempt
1:00:35
at regime change and attempt to you know
1:00:38
had a coup and an attempt to use this
1:00:40
sort of fake you know humanitarian aid
1:00:43
as a Trojan horse to bring
1:00:45
government which is what appears to be
1:00:48
happening all these military transports
1:00:50
coming in to Colombia at the border
1:00:53
saying oh we want to get in and we have
1:00:56
we got food for everybody it's kind of
1:00:58
like the Haiti strategy you know it's
1:01:00
like oh look we got all these troops and
1:01:02
military transport here we're here to
1:01:03
help we're from the government don't
1:01:04
worry long term strategy again this guy
1:01:08
from the think tank you know Andrew
1:01:09
McCabe who's on his media tour right now
1:01:12
for his book and the big headlines that
1:01:14
he made was talking about plans to
1:01:17
allegedly invoke the 25th amendment to
1:01:20
try to have Donald Trump removed as
1:01:22
president based on his sounds weird but
1:01:24
it's related his mental health or lack
1:01:26
thereof but he also talks about
1:01:29
Venezuela in his book and I just want to
1:01:31
read George a quote from Andrew McCabe's
1:01:33
book about a 2017 oval office meeting he
1:01:37
says quote then the president talked
1:01:39
about Venezuela that's the country we
1:01:41
should be going to war with he said they
1:01:44
have all that oil and they're right on
1:01:46
our backdoor do you think that's true do
1:01:49
you think he said that oh you know he
1:01:53
says so much stuff it wouldn't be it
1:01:55
wouldn't be out of question out of the
1:01:57
question that he said it McCabe is I
1:02:00
think he's something of a liar so I
1:02:04
don't know if he actually did say what
1:02:07
the model fits the model model at really
1:02:11
what you see as the u.s. agenda here
1:02:14
George they've been very clear about
1:02:16
that but I think the quote that you read
1:02:18
is is also very revealing he says all
1:02:20
that oil and they're you know they're
1:02:22
right there in our backyard essentially
1:02:24
right we're talking the the Monroe
1:02:25
Doctrine so this is all know the Monroe
1:02:28
Doctrine yes James Monroe when he was
1:02:31
president he developed some this is he's
1:02:34
like the seventh president he's very
1:02:36
early on he you look it up and he who's
1:02:40
also if you saw a picture of him just to
1:02:42
go as an aside here I picked it in the
1:02:43
National Gallery there's a painting by
1:02:45
Gilbert Stewart that superstar portrait
1:02:49
portrait artist and you can look at him
1:02:51
you can stand right by this painting you
1:02:52
look at me you see this is the biggest
1:02:53
prick
1:03:00
but he decided that anything that was an
1:03:03
in the Western Hemisphere period belongs
1:03:06
to us we have we have he has some it was
1:03:11
the Monroe Doctrine but it has to do
1:03:13
with it's not sovereignty but influence
1:03:17
we have to be the primary influence of
1:03:19
the whole whole hemisphere yeah foam
1:03:22
finger number one
1:03:23
yeah we're number one oh there right
1:03:25
there in our backyard essentially right
1:03:26
we're talking the the Monroe Doctrine so
1:03:28
this is about economics in other words
1:03:30
it is about economic control but it's
1:03:33
also about political control and I think
1:03:35
we should remember that because part of
1:03:37
what the chavies the legacy is is not
1:03:39
just the you know input the the demand
1:03:43
for national sovereignty but the
1:03:45
construction of regional alliances in
1:03:48
other words we've been talking about
1:03:48
about Petrocaribe but also other
1:03:51
international regional alliances
1:03:54
partnerships that have provided a
1:03:56
cushion for Latin American countries to
1:03:58
act independently in other words not
1:04:01
having to appeal to the World Bank in
1:04:03
the IMF for funding if they have a
1:04:04
momentary glitch in their economy being
1:04:07
able to borrow money from us whele from
1:04:09
argentina what's happened over the past
1:04:11
few years is that this regional Alliance
1:04:13
has been disintegrated bit by bit you
1:04:15
know we're talking about crews in
1:04:17
Honduras quasi crews in Brazil in
1:04:20
Paraguay
1:04:21
elections in Argentina in Chile in
1:04:23
Colombia that have really helped to pull
1:04:26
apart this this regional alliance the
1:04:28
Lima group is the product of this in
1:04:30
other words the new right-wing in Latin
1:04:32
America that has made it harder and so
1:04:34
in the absence of the USS ability to
1:04:36
overthrow Chavez as they fail to do in
1:04:38
2002 they said about you know working
1:04:41
around the edges and tearing apart on
1:04:43
this regional unity and they've been
1:04:45
very successful at that which now makes
1:04:47
Venezuela that much more susceptible to
1:04:50
their direct pressure and of course the
1:04:53
goal of that regional control is
1:04:54
economic control is the ability to
1:04:56
intervene and have you know these
1:04:58
resources these markets at their at
1:05:02
their command
1:05:02
it is I think Trump has his eye on it he
1:05:06
wants to go get that and I end
1:05:11
he's probably estate guy he really is
1:05:15
oil centric and he said the same thing
1:05:18
about you know when a rock yeah a rock
1:05:20
all the speeches was always about we
1:05:21
should have taken the oil from the rock
1:05:23
yeah you know for all the work we did
1:05:26
there and he really thinks that the oil
1:05:27
they oughta belong to us then he did he
1:05:29
assigns Exxon CEO Tillerson the chief of
1:05:34
an orange IV the oil company who in 2015
1:05:38
was drilling right there yeah and so he
1:05:41
assigns him a secretary of the state
1:05:42
thinking but Tillerson screwed it up
1:05:45
some brie I'm gonna make it just a side
1:05:48
commentary I don't think Trump realizes
1:05:50
or realize with Tillerson I think Trump
1:05:54
is is like a populist in the way that he
1:05:56
thinks he has popular thoughts that run
1:05:58
through his brain for example when I was
1:06:01
working at Union Oil and I went to work
1:06:04
for the air pollution district it wasn't
1:06:07
that I was working for the oil company
1:06:08
anymore I was now working for the
1:06:10
regulatory agency and I had no trouble
1:06:13
because I had inside information on how
1:06:15
oil some I didn't have a lot I'll come
1:06:19
here so I had no problem going from a
1:06:21
gut from a private sector job and then
1:06:23
doing my job specifically against the
1:06:27
companies I worked for cuz it was not a
1:06:30
it was an adversary type thing and it's
1:06:33
not a problem at this one when I see
1:06:34
people switch over from one side to the
1:06:35
other I know that you can do it so until
1:06:38
erson switched from Exxon to 16 I think
1:06:42
Trump thought like it was like the
1:06:44
popular like the popular thought is he's
1:06:47
still an oil guy but he just happens to
1:06:48
be Secretary of State no no once he
1:06:51
became Secretary of State he was
1:06:52
Secretary of State and that's kind of
1:06:54
screwed screwed right through this idea
1:06:56
he doesn't understand this mechanism
1:06:58
which is a fact well I think of anything
1:07:04
if I can say anything good about this
1:07:06
the I would hope that the reason is he
1:07:09
wants to make sure this all up give
1:07:12
people some democracy before China does
1:07:15
some
1:07:15
Russia ought to be worried about Russia
1:07:17
Russia has that they don't have enough
1:07:18
money to do this they don't have the
1:07:20
resources
1:07:20
China's there China is you know owns 25%
1:07:24
of of this of this new new license from
1:07:30
that exxon has or their 25% in the
1:07:32
company they're not gonna be very happy
1:07:34
because I'm sure they're thinking I will
1:07:36
just take all this well you know if
1:07:38
China is if they keep cutting China in
1:07:42
and leaving it so China doesn't really
1:07:44
get a you know too much that's the
1:07:47
problem of China side which I think you
1:07:49
exemplified that with this wall way guy
1:07:52
now son he thinks he's king of the world
1:07:55
you know douchebag yeah I think that
1:07:59
it's okay but China's keeps doing all
1:08:02
this you know they're kind of they're
1:08:03
they don't they're not pure capitalist
1:08:05
there's all kinds of sneaky things and
1:08:07
so you have to be careful I think
1:08:08
Trump's aware of that I love the wall
1:08:11
theory yeah I'm subscribing to it that
1:08:15
that's the reason for the wall it makes
1:08:17
sense when you put this all together see
1:08:19
ya
1:08:19
so something he knew was gonna happen a
1:08:21
long time ago probably when he's laying
1:08:23
the best laid plans and he's that
1:08:28
forward a thinker then it said we have
1:08:30
to start looking at his we have to look
1:08:33
at everything he does and says
1:08:34
differently well within this framework I
1:08:36
think this is this is important this is
1:08:38
this this and Iran those are the two
1:08:41
thing and that's you know there's all
1:08:42
kinds of you know what I have some Iran
1:08:44
stuff but maybe you should take a quick
1:08:46
break and then we can go into that so at
1:08:49
this point I would be very pleased just
1:08:53
thank you for your courage and say in
1:08:54

1:09:47
two stripes through it but it's on the

when we chose the art did you notice

last 11 months trying to find a catchy
1:15:17
title alas I have nothing but the empty
1:15:21
feeling in my gut knowing I have been a
1:15:23
douche for the better part of a year
1:15:25
please accept my apologies and refer to
1:15:27
me as simply a sort odd okay for snacks

cheese curds at the round table for you
1:15:43
sir Todd looking forward to it
1:15:46
Ray Martin meanwhile sir late into the
1:15:49
circle town in Gotham Alabama 333 . 33
1:15:52
3333 because this was our 33 celebration
1:15:55
and I had suggested a 33 33 contribution
1:16:00
which we did get quite a few of but
1:16:02
everybody liked the fact without
1:16:04
encouragement we got these that's nice
1:16:07
this is not a thing you click done oh
1:16:09
this is hand this is hand hand jobs
1:16:12
hand jobs I look forward to the show in
1:16:15
the newsletter that always seems to get
1:16:17
through Gmail I'm amazed I don't want to
1:16:20
talk about that later about the
1:16:21
newsletter it turns out it's a very
1:16:23
funny story I'm amazed at the production
1:16:25
quality of the show and content knowing
1:16:27
that hardly any post production is done
1:16:30
which is just doesn't aside the only
1:16:34
post production is done is occasionally
1:16:36
when the thing follows up or Adams
1:16:38
things stop so we had to stop and edit
1:16:40
yeah and he will go back and then would
1:16:42
finish the show and then he'll go back
1:16:43
and just clip that out we don't do any
1:16:46
post production beyond clipping out dead
1:16:49
zones and and one opening how do we drop
1:16:53
the opening in yeah so we actually spend
1:16:55
the most time after the show trying to
1:16:57
find something appropriate to open the
1:16:58
show with yeah and that amount of time
1:17:01
is about two hundred two to three
1:17:02
minutes well maybe generally speaking is
1:17:06
pretty quick so you don't do post that's
1:17:09
the way we recommend people do
1:17:10
podcasting does anybody else say this
1:17:13
anything like this no nobody says this
1:17:15
nobody says this simple Horowitz is the
1:17:19
only one I'd know besides us that does
1:17:21
this yeah well I also beat it into him
1:17:26
for that and Horowitz is the better off
1:17:29
for it because you don't do that little
1:17:31
thing at the beginning and he runs that
1:17:33
he runs it right from the the opening to
1:17:36
the end when that show is over he posted
1:17:39
within five minutes right and goes the
1:17:42
bed yeah now I still like to put all the
1:17:44
tags in and put the art of course the
1:17:46
art into the mp3 and all that stuff but
1:17:48
yeah the point is is that we don't post
1:17:51
post is for pussies anyway how many post
1:17:55
productions as evidenced by how speedy
1:17:57
it is ready for an enjoyment after the
1:17:59

1:18:46
cheese I love bugs my Millennials stay
1:18:48
woke do you both have a quick suggestion
1:18:53
for listeners that want to get the
1:18:54
newsletter but seem unable to as gmail
1:18:56
user I haven't missed the newsletter
1:18:57
since I signed up months ago and I
1:18:59
believe it's because I oughta filter
1:19:00
everything coming from the no agenda
1:19:02
MailChimp address to a no agenda folder
1:19:04
it never hits the inbox or promotional
1:19:06
folders and allows me to quickly find
1:19:08
the emails
1:19:09
I'm truly interested in reading as a
1:19:11
millennial and avid listener to the
1:19:13
podcast your media deconstruction and
1:19:15
technology expertise convinced me to
1:19:17
embark on the OTG life whoo Verizon
1:19:20
unfortunately has limited options but
1:19:22
the Kyocera cadence has been a fabulous
1:19:25
addition to my life and I see those
1:19:27
things on the foulest that's the flip
1:19:29
phone I think the Kyocera the flip phone
1:19:31
fabulous addition to my life and has
1:19:33
saved me hundreds of dollars by not
1:19:35
purchasing the latest iPhone I couldn't
1:19:37
be any happier with my decision I'm no
1:19:39
longer tempted to scroll through my
1:19:40
various apps to kill time and become way
1:19:43
more observant of my yes I yes it's fun
1:19:49
it's fun to look at the slaves with
1:19:52
their bent necks and their shoulders
1:19:53
hunched looking at their phone
1:19:55
while they're walking is a holding of
1:19:57

unceremonious firing of one John C
1:23:34
Dvorak from PC Magazine I never heard of

great work so I as I was prepping the

1:32:17
machine out the question is if we play
1:32:20
it once we don't really transition back
1:32:24
right I think we should just up we
1:32:26
should put that in abeyance and if we do
1:32:30
have it do we have any alternative
1:32:32
universe clips that we can get to later
1:32:36
no well

1:33:00
[Music]
1:33:11
and that will be the last time we're
1:33:13
gonna just mention this to the producers
1:33:15
that we do that I agree in the producer
1:33:18
segment I would do it when we do it but
1:33:20
we're not it's not a jingle
1:33:22
okay got it it's a machine yes a machine
1:33:27

1:33:30
turn that thing on and off highly tuned

1:34:15
would be more valuable than gold
1:34:18
well hey not yet don't worry 2019 yeah I
1:34:27
think that gambits over the podcast has
1:34:31
helped guide me through the endless
1:34:33
fear-mongering of the m5m in an episode
1:34:37
somewhere there in the 900 you guys
1:34:39
dissected a story about FX boil all FF

[Music]
1:37:36
alright you were gonna say something
1:37:37
we're talking about it and during the
1:37:41
donation set you labored still Abramson
1:37:43
yes yeah there's a I don't have the clip
1:37:45
of her but she apparently appeared on
1:37:47
one of the CNN shows and it was
1:37:49
discussed on Canada land a another
1:37:52
podcast which is a piece of good podcast
1:37:55
that they they seem to be there seemed
1:38:00
to be bashers of Trudeau there Trudeau
1:38:03
bashers mm-hmm which is not unusual in
1:38:05
Canada
1:38:06
yeah but they did bring this thing up
1:38:08
because somebody heard this discussed on
1:38:10
I think assault Seltzer's result sir
1:38:13
water seltzer water yeah and and it was
1:38:16
it's interesting because it doesn't call
1:38:18
for a little discussion and everything's
1:38:20
that is said here does not surprise me
1:38:22
in the least she was on CNN has a media
1:38:25
critic media reporter brian Stelter and
1:38:27
she was kind of defending herself she
1:38:29
says no it's it's mistakes were made but
1:38:31
it's not technically plagiarism I'm
1:38:32
gonna fix it in the e-book in the next
1:38:34
version blah blah blah blah blah but
1:38:35
then she said something that really
1:38:37
caught my attention she said you know
1:38:38
vice who now were pointing out all of
1:38:41
these errors I mean about their staff
1:38:43
and about their history and all these
1:38:44
little you know the color of the shoes
1:38:46
of their host
1:38:47
they had my manuscript for a long long
1:38:50
time because I wanted them to have a
1:38:53
chance to let me know if I got anything
1:38:54
wrong and they were very difficult to
1:38:57
reach there they didn't return my emails
1:38:59
and I later learned
1:39:00
said Jill Abramson on CNN that they were
1:39:03
running an oppo campaign and they were
1:39:05
calling other people in the book
1:39:06
essentially trying to strategize a way
1:39:09
to discredit the book and this is kind
1:39:12
of a maneuver that I've always thought
1:39:13
was possible but I'm unaware of it
1:39:16
playing out you know if in fact this is
1:39:18
true I didn't even think that you could
1:39:20
do that well here's how you do it like
1:39:22
you ask somebody like I'm writing about
1:39:23
you did I get anything wrong here's what
1:39:26
I wrote and they see that you got
1:39:27
something wrong and they say you know
1:39:29
what Jill Abrams like why should we help
1:39:31
her make a factual book it's still gonna
1:39:33
make us look like shit correct all of
1:39:34
her errors why don't we let her publish
1:39:36
a flawed book and then we can rip her
1:39:41
book to shreds on the basis of how
1:39:42
flawed it if that is in fact that's long
1:39:45
game what happened
1:39:46
and what makes this really interesting
1:39:48
to me is that I am aware that when it
1:39:50
comes to their PR flacks vice doesn't
1:39:52
hire smiley spokespeople they hire
1:39:55
political war room strategists like real
1:39:58
sharks who are very well-versed in dirty
1:40:00
tricks and I kind of feel like this is a
1:40:03
thread of the story that got dropped too
1:40:05
soon huh okay
1:40:09
not a bit of that surprises me and it's
1:40:11
a very good strategy device being we
1:40:15
don't have much respect for them as
1:40:17
entities everything a lot of their stuff
1:40:19
is at least I do their lab stuff it's an
1:40:21
advertising agency is what they are but
1:40:26
yeah and then they apparently I guess a
1:40:28
Bruce Abramson or Abrams I can never
1:40:31
remember but your guess Jill sent them
1:40:34
the galley proofs
1:40:36
yes stead of just the sheets from the
1:40:38
wood that applied to them and once they
1:40:41
got that means they read the whole book
1:40:43
and they could find out that people that
1:40:44
were getting slammed mm-hmm and then
1:40:45
they could put up an oppo as they meant
1:40:47
as the guy says opposition campaign
1:40:50
against the book in advance of its
1:40:52
publication and then also not help
1:40:55
change any errors and then you could
1:40:57
bitch about the errors very very very
1:40:59
coy well they better not do that to my
1:41:01
book or yours for that matter I'll punch
1:41:07
in this group well since we're talking
1:41:10
about media then I have it was almost
1:41:14
impossible to pull the clip Laura Logan
1:41:17
who we remember from her sexual attack
1:41:21
she was a sexually attacked in square
1:41:24
during the Egyptian Arab Spring uprising
1:41:27
and I and she was on but then after that
1:41:31
a little more briefing she fo need up
1:41:34
and Huckabee but she fo need up an
1:41:36
interview that got her put on hiatus for
1:41:39
about a year on 60 minutes and they
1:41:42
brought her back da was about Benghazi
1:41:44
yes um and then they brought her back
1:41:47
but but I I beg to differ I went back
1:41:49
and looked up she didn't phony up an
1:41:51
interview she said something she
1:41:52
shouldn't have said okay well that makes
1:41:55
more sense yes and in fact why was she
1:41:58
was accused of phoning up an interview
1:42:00
well I recall
1:42:01
certainly myself being very skeptical
1:42:03
and like yeah who is this woman who says
1:42:05
she was because she's beautiful yes like
1:42:08
what she's doing there was she really
1:42:10
assaulted I think I was very flippant
1:42:12
about it you were yeah I was skeptical
1:42:15
too and the funny thing is now that
1:42:17
she's not working there she's got black
1:42:20
hair yeah which looks a hell of a lot
1:42:22
better
1:42:23
she looks great as a brunette much
1:42:26
better anyway the reason why I bring her
1:42:29
up is she did a three and a half hour
1:42:30
podcast with Mike drop Mike Ritland
1:42:33
who's a things ex-navy seal they know he
1:42:36
I would refer to him as the Custer did
1:42:39
you see the whole interview I'm talking
1:42:41
to watch three and a half hours I was
1:42:43
trying to look for somebody sent me that
1:42:45
you just probably same girl sent you the
1:42:46
clip says listen to this and he says
1:42:48
Logan goes on about certain things
1:42:49
everybody picked up on this and I was he
1:42:52
wouldn't give me a timecode I wasn't
1:42:53
gonna no I did not listen to the whole
1:42:55
interview I'm sure it was fascinating to
1:42:57
a point but I didn't have three and a
1:42:59
half hours available to me to listen to
1:43:01
this guy in her well I did over the
1:43:05
course of two days that's what that's
1:43:07
why people support the show so I can do
1:43:09
these kinds of things I only really have
1:43:11
the one clip that everyone's talking
1:43:12
about
1:43:13
because you can't clip anything it
1:43:15
because the segments are long it's very
1:43:17
relaxed it's very in-depth I have I have
1:43:20
to say incredible respect for her for
1:43:23
everything she said everything that
1:43:25
she's done and I'm sure it's true just
1:43:30
the way you know you can tell when
1:43:31
you're listening to someone really
1:43:33
explain tell stories about their life
1:43:35
and yes she pretty much lived in the
1:43:37
Middle East for the past mmm or 10 years
1:43:40
before the attack it's really worth
1:43:43
watching she's really endearing and it
1:43:47
took me a while to figure it out she
1:43:49
because she's been in war zones all the
1:43:51
time she's been in Iraq Afghanistan
1:43:53
Pashtun anywhere there's there's a war
1:43:56
she was there and she's been blown up
1:43:58
she's been beaten up she raped and she
1:44:01
goes into quite graphic detail about the
1:44:04
physical harm that was done to her I
1:44:06
recommend everybody watch this because
1:44:08
of course she's not going to be welcome
1:44:10
in the mainstream anymore but you know
1:44:13
this went around social me
1:44:18
you know that's what bugged me cuz I was
1:44:20
watching that damn that was that's my
1:44:22
Jewish watch it by the way so it wasn't
1:44:24
concerned but it was I founded it to be
1:44:27
a to long didn't watch issue and I
1:44:30
didn't really like this guy this
1:44:32
interviewer who seems you know it's like
1:44:34
hey I'm on a podcast so let me just cuss
1:44:37
as much as I can because I'm cool no no
1:44:40
I think you're seeing that completely
1:44:42
wrong this is he's a Navy SEAL who went
1:44:45
through a lot of shit and he was fight
1:44:46
she did a piece on him for 60 minutes
1:44:49
that's why that's where they know each
1:44:50
other and he's he's very popular cuz
1:44:53
he's just a dude now at a certain point
1:44:57
it's actually it's very cute so this
1:44:59
video is just rolling and the dog comes
1:45:01
in and then you know then they just keep
1:45:03
rolling while they're trying to get the
1:45:04
dog out and there's all and it's just
1:45:05
it's a it's very entry I liked it a lot
1:45:08
of very interesting to watch they're
1:45:10
really yeah I don't think we have out
1:45:11
play the clip it's only a minute 45 just
1:45:14
because not everyone's heard it but she
1:45:17
goes into great depth about how shit the
1:45:19
media is everything we say on the show
1:45:21
she agrees with but she goes much much
1:45:24
further about the the lies of the
1:45:26
weapons of mass destruction and just all
1:45:28
the way all across the spectrum very
1:45:31
it's worth the time if you if you can it
1:45:34
to listen to it
1:45:36
I have to say at the same time it's very
1:45:38
easy for her to do this because she's
1:45:41
married to a very successful wealthy guy
1:45:43
who is a military contractor now sir so
1:45:48
she's got yeah those two were kind of
1:45:50
made for each other it's very easy when
1:45:51
you when you know that you can not work
1:45:54
ever again and I think that she probably
1:45:56
doesn't want to work for mainstream I'm
1:45:58
sure she's gonna do maybe she'll start
1:46:00
doing a podcast you never know god but
1:46:03
here's a little excerpt just to give you
1:46:06
a taste but it's it's well worth
1:46:07
watching the whole thing
1:46:08
and the media everywhere is mostly
1:46:10
liberal not just in the US but in this
1:46:13
country eighty-five percent of
1:46:16
journalists are registered Democrats so
1:46:19
that's just a fact
1:46:20
right and once registering Democrats
1:46:22
when they're rarely a Republican so the
1:46:26
fact
1:46:27
the side of what you just stated most
1:46:29
journalists are are left or liberal or
1:46:31
Democrat or whatever word you want to
1:46:33
give it how do you know you're being
1:46:36
lied to
1:46:36
how do you know you're being manipulated
1:46:38
how do you know there's something not
1:46:40
right with the coverage when they
1:46:42
simplify it all and there's no gray is
1:46:46
no grey it's all one way well life isn't
1:46:49
like that if it doesn't match real life
1:46:51
it's probably not something's wrong
1:46:54
right so for example you know all the
1:47:00
coverage on Trump all the time is
1:47:03
negative there's nothing there's there's
1:47:06
nothing no mitigating policy or event or
1:47:10
anything that has happened since he was
1:47:12
elected that is out there in the media's
1:47:15
that you can read about right well that
1:47:17
tells you that's a distinction boy
1:47:19
things go in real life because although
1:47:21
the media has always been historically
1:47:23
always been left-leaning we've abandoned
1:47:29
our pretense or at least the effort to
1:47:33
be objective today the former executive
1:47:35
editor of The New York Times has a book
1:47:37
coming out Jill Abramson and she says we
1:47:40
would do I don't know dozens of stories
1:47:43
about Trump every single day and every
1:47:46
single one of them was negative she said
1:47:48
we being we have become the anti-trump
1:47:51
paper of record well that's not a job
1:47:53
that's a political position that means
1:47:56
we've become political activists in a
1:47:58
sense and some could argue propagandists
1:48:00
right and there's some merit to this
1:48:02
right you know as I was watching her
1:48:04
she's very petite pretty huge really
1:48:09
very deep cut decollete in this
1:48:12
interview and as she's sitting kind of
1:48:14
twisted your breasts are really exposed
1:48:16
and I'm looking like how does she house
1:48:18
how did she survive you know at the
1:48:22
bottom line she is just she's a kick-ass
1:48:25
woman and she uses everything she has a
1:48:27
woman to get the story she wants I'm
1:48:29
incredibly impressed
1:48:30
um and it's worth watching and you can
1:48:33
watch a lot of things tonight you can
1:48:34
watch but you know some the Avengers
1:48:37
whatever watch this woman that's my
1:48:40
recommendation
1:48:40
in the shownotes know what any show
1:48:42
knows hmm sorry if the Avengers are on
1:48:45
TV tonight let's talk about China for a
1:48:51
second China appears to be in some
1:48:53
trouble with the Bri the bridge and Road
1:48:56
initiative also known as three belts no
1:48:58
Road that's how we look at it that's
1:49:00
what we call it they got trains they got
1:49:02
they got waterways they're trying to do
1:49:05
all kinds of economic corridors but
1:49:08
there's a little problem actually kind
1:49:11
of a big one looming right now I think
1:49:13
it is dying you know for alert very long
1:49:15
times we've been talking about how this
1:49:17
is an unaccepted important issue but
1:49:23
they can't really create a whole new set
1:49:26
of economics that exist nowhere else on
1:49:28
this planet and so I thought at some
1:49:30
point the Bri Belton Road initiative
1:49:33
would fail and it's starting to fail now
1:49:36
you know see jumping can still put more
1:49:38
money into it but really were sort of
1:49:40
close to the end so the last four or
1:49:42
five months people in China have been
1:49:44
severely questioning the soundness of
1:49:47
this and now those calls are growing
1:49:50
louder and louder and we're seeing
1:49:52
something very interesting in practices
1:49:54
where China's committed sixty billion
1:49:57
dollars or so to the Pakistan economic
1:49:59
corridor the Pakistanis can't pay that
1:50:03
back and China has now got a serious
1:50:05
problem about what to do with its big
1:50:08
