many producers home we're what
what did
you say
post Zephyr oh now you were
really soft
there for a moment your live
stream yes
yes we we now have Joe Biden in
the race
yeah it's about time yeah who I
call
spike Biden spike spike spike
the ball
yeah spike Biden because he's
telling
Ally lie spike okay look I get
the joke
well I'm going to of course you
don't
because I'm going to unpack
that for you
Joe Biden announced this
morning that
he's running for the 2020
presidential
election and here's what he's
running on
Charlottesville Virginia is
home to the
author of one of the great
documents in
human history we know by heart
we hold
these truths to be self-evident
that all
men are created equal endowed
by their
creator with certain
inalienable rights
we've heard us so often it's
almost a
cliche but it's who we are we
haven't
always lived up to these ideals
Jefferson himself didn't
never before walked away from
them
Charlotte Sowell is also home
to a
defining moment for this nation
in the
last few years it was there in
August of
2017 we saw Klansmen and white
supremacists and neo-nazis come
out in
the open through crazed faces
illuminated by torches veins
bulging
than burying the fangs of racism
chanting the same anti-semitic
by alert
across Europe in the 30s
and they were met by a
courageous group
of Americans in a violent clash
ensue
and a brave young woman lost
her life
and that's when we heard the
words the
president knighted States that
stunned
the world and shocked the
conscience of
this nation if she said there
were quote
some very fine people on both
sides and
very fine people on both sides
those
words the president United
States
assigned a moral equivalence
between
those spreading hate than those
of the
courage to stand against it and
in that
moment I knew the threat to
this nation
was unlike any I had ever seen
in my
lifetime okay so this goes on
for
another two minutes Joe is
running on
the lie that the president
insinuated
that some neo-nazis are very
fine people
and the reason I call him spike
Biden is
because I finally got to finish
the
black Klansmen movie and I told
you that
I hadn't finished yet didn't
know it was
18 hours long and but I said
there's all
this Trump stuff that's you
know all
these little quotes like
rapists and
murderers and things that are
coming
directly from him that he
slipped into
the dialogue and at the end of
the movie
I know you haven't seen it and
I have a
feeling not many people have
seen the
whole movie
no one is 18 hours long there's
a good
reason I'll tell you because I I
mentioned this on the last
episode
no one emailed me or tweeted me
and said
oh wait until you get to the
end of the
movie and so this was so
incredibly
dishonest so the movie kind of
ends and
then there's this you know long
tunnel
like shot you know one of those
where
the background moves really
fast and the
two people in the foreground are
standing there and then it goes
into
this montage
you had a group on one side
that was bad
and you had a group on the
other side
that was also very violent not
all of
those people were neo-nazis
believe me
not all of those people were
white
supremacist but you also had
people that
were
very fine people because I
believe that
today in Charlotte so this is a
first
step
that's David Duke by the way so
it goes
from very fine people very fine
people
were there and it goes straight
to David
Duke know what is wrong with
well wait
for it what is really wrong
with this a
couple things one so they date
these
scenes and you see the the
torch the the
torches and the Jews will not
replace us
yeah and then it goes into an
tyfa
clashing with you know the white
supremacists and it's not a
black bed so
the whole movies about black
and there's
a side story of a jew cup i'm
just
saying it that way because
that's how i
said in the movie so that so
there's
kind of a side story and then
it goes
but it's really all about this
you know
65 66 67 the equal rights
you know how blacks were
discriminated
against it the whole movie is
that of
course about the Klan but it's
all white
people you see and then they
then but
they title it Charlottesville
April I
August 11th 2017 and then they
show
Trump at Trump Tower it's also
titled
with a with a lower third
august 12 2017
that's a lie first of all
because his
initial reaction that Trump
gave his
initial statement which was not
the
press conference at Trump Tower
was on
August 12th but this was August
15th
when he gave this speech so you
just
heard the wealth in fact I'm
gonna just
roll that back just a tiny bit
so you
can just hear again because he
he took a
piece then put in some more
footage and
then went into the quote and
then
chopped it off so again this is
a first
sorry that was David Duke
already here
we go so very violent
not all of those people who were
neo-nazis believe me not all of
those
people were white supremacist
and you
also had people that were very
fine
people and they go straight
into David
Duke here's the original but
you also
had people that were very fine
people on
both sides
you had people in that group
excuse me
excuse me I saw the same
pictures as you
did you had people in that
group that
were there to protest the
taking down of
to them a very very important
statue and
the renaming of a park from
Roberts all
that was taken out Lee to
another name
so you know what it's fine
you're
changing history you're
changing culture
and you had people and I'm not
talking
about the neo-nazis and the
white
nationalist because they should
be
condemned
totally but you had many people
in that
group other than neo-nazis and
white
nationalists okay and the press
has
treated them absolutely
unfairly now in
the other group also you had
some fine
people but you also had
troublemakers
and you see them come with a
with the
black outfits and with the
helmets and
with the baseball bats you got
a you had
a lot of bad you had a lot of
bad people
in the other group so I think
it's a
little bit out of context well
of course
this has been thematic and of
course the
systemic with our shows
principles which
is that once they get a take
create a
mean that that's false they're
forever
mean it's therefore
minification yeah is
what they do and then they
stick with it
no matter how many times you
bring out
the real the real quotes which
include
this discreet against the the
fascists
or the Nazis for Joe Biden
to be running on that out of
the gate is
Joe Biden see obviously idiot
well he
must believe this and be the
people who
are advising him must believe
this so I
think they do believe it no
one's ever
bothered to actually look into
it
they're just going with their
good but
that's what the public thinks
anyway so
what well and and this is not
about
Donald Trump this is I've been
through
this I've had this happen to me
you've
had this happen to you when you
get
certain things that just become
truth
forever and ever I always like
to point
it out
when people say Oh Dvorak's it
the mouse
is stupid there we were - no he
said
there's no evidence at the time
there
was no evidence no this is 1984
right so
I I want to defend that defend
it for
you I defend it for anybody but
to have
Joe Biden running on that out
of the
gate I'm sure that's not his
only his
only point but man
well he's but besides that and
all the
baggage he's actually on my
list of
contenders listen post on a
cosmic
weenie
I bumped him down because of
them I
think he's gonna keep getting
bumped
down oh really
because Bernie's at the top oh
right I
doll the pole say AHA Biden's
even ahead
of Trump now lies and what
about mayor
Pete he's moving up mate well
mayor Pete
had a very you know your whole
theory by
the way about that is right on
the money
and you can see him moving up
there's
this big story today and they
said with
all these fine women Kamala
Harris and
Warren and yeah as I mentioned
Clinton
but they'd mentioned somebody
else yes a
little bit shark yes all these
fine
women running how come mayor
Peters
shooting past them in the polls
well
could it be this you can call it
whatever you like this is about
sanctuary cities from the CNN
Town Hall
you can call it whatever you
like
that's our policy we're a
welcoming city
and I guess the president
thinks America
is full we're not I would be
delighted
to have more people we have a
population
growth strategy in our city our
city was
built for a hundred and thirty
thousand
people but you know we only
have a
hundred thousand because so
many people
left after the auto factories
collapsed
in a hundred thousand what kind
of this
is not a city this is a Hamlet
Hamlet
the sixties we got plenty of
room for
more residents and taxpayers
who want to
help fund the snow plowing and
the
firefighters that I got to have
for a
hundred thirty thousand
people's worth
the city with only a hundred
thousand
people to pay for it and let us
not
forget
that in many respects from
property
taxes to sales taxes
undocumented
immigrants are taxpayers and
the truth
is in many respects because
they are not
eligible for a lot of benefits
they are
subsidizing the rest of us
which is just
one more reason you got to get
this
sorted out
thank you illegal aliens thank
you thank
you for subsidizing my life
it's so
appreciated guys hi cities I
think of
like Mexico City you know 14
million
yeah I mean most Austin's
barely a city
yeah where's Austin's
population on
million we got a million yes a
million
yeah that's at least at least
and
they're all interested then
you're right
I Hamlet he's run a small town
big for a
lot but he has a positive what
he calls
a positive growth strategy
which would
be I don't know encourage
people to have
children
no that would be make it a
family-friendly city that would
do it
now there's an idea family
bring his
families there's an idea we're
trying to
be family unfriendly in Austin
oh yeah
be dog friendly oh my goodness
stop with the dogs um so you
were
tracking Hillary who did not
did she do
an op-ed she's starting to bury
heads
popping up every which way
she's making
commentary everywhere I didn't
see an
op-ed but I'm sure she's done -
I think
she wrote an op-ed and she was
on stage
at some time magazine event and
oh I
have a clip the hundred most
influential
pile of it Oh is she in that is
she and
she must be I don't know - must
I didn't
look at the list here's what
she's a
firewall and here's what she
had to say
about of all things my goodness
the
Mueller report before leaving
Muller
your lawyer
you're a lawyer disbarred but
yeah
you're a lawyer did Donald Trump
obstruct justice as you read the
incidences as Muller lays them
out well
I think there's enough there
that any
other person who had engaged in
those
acts would certainly have been
indicted
but because of the the rule in
the
Justice Department that you
can't indict
a sitting president the whole
matter of
obstruction was very directly
sent to
the Congress I mean if you read
that
part of the report it could not
be
clearer I mean I you know as I
read it
basically what I thought it was
saying
is look we think he obstructed
justice
here are 11-plus of why we
think he
instructed justice but we're
under the
control of the Justice
Department and
their rule is you can't indict
but we do
have checks and balances in
America and
there is this thing called the
Congress
I mean you could not be any more
explicit then please look at
this you
may look at it and conclude it
doesn't
rise to an impeachable offense
that's
your job
but I'm giving this to you well
quite
the opposite is in fact true as
the I
think was the Attorney General
was at
Muller was asked specifically
now the
Attorney General was asked
specifically
if there was no indictment on
obstruction of justice because
you can't
indict a sitting president that
to which
he answered no several times
this came
up on with crystal ball which i
think is
a great radio name but she's on
what is
she on I think she's on he
bitched about
her before she used to be on
MSN I miss
my regular with your buddy
terrain I yes
well now she's on hill TV and
she had
Jody Genoa on as a guest and it
hilarity
ensued we shall say but it
starts off
with exactly this point
bar said he asked molar three
separate
times did you base your
decision on the
fact that a sitting president
cannot be
indicted and Muller said I did
not it
literally says here are the
considerations of Justinian is
Muller a
liar I'm asking if bar as a
liar is
really the questionnaire
because it
sounds very clearly here would
have
brought charges but I can't
bring just
said don't you dare suggest
that bill
borrows a wire I've known him
for 30
years he's one of the finest
lawyers
this country has ever produced
he came
back out of retirement to serve
this
country there's not one shred of
evidence that anything he said
either
the other day or now or today
was a lie
don't ever say that in front of
me about
Bill Maher you have no evidence
that he
lied and you know it I'm
telling you
you said he may have lied what
I'm
telling you is that what he
said that
today in the press conference is
inconsistent with what's in
there that's
not a lie that's okay fine it's
not
national television calling the
Attorney
General a liar I didn't say
that you
suggested it very strongly all
right I
think we're done here I think
we are
good that's the best kind of
television
though I love it is it really
is that
people love to see yeah
catfight that's
what you want man yeah no but
the host
for one thing the host can't
handle that
it's about her she's sensitive
before we
get into a very she's playing a
role
MSNBC game there and this guy
was just
like putting it on while he's
playing
his fox game isn't he on Fox
all the
time did you know well yeah I
think so I
think so Fox guys think before
I move
into any collusion I got a text
just
before the show and this is
something
for your
for your cosmic weeny rundown
this is
from one of the Millennials and
she says
just say no frontrunner for my
age group
and education level is
Elizabeth Warren
and to which I and of course I
was
dealing with the mic issues and
so I I
texted back well of course you
know no
no more debt and you got a
little
offended because you know it's
just a
text no no I'm agreeing with
you yes
this is exactly what we're all
saying we
have tens of thousands of
dollars worth
of debt we'll vote for someone
to get to
remove that the question is can
she
motivate them to vote well if
once they
realize that she's full of crap
she is a
do-nothing senator she has
never done
anything she talks a big game
and if
you're gonna be suckered by
somebody
just talking a big girl when
they talked
a big game I'm gonna vote for
her then
it's a problem you've got but
it's not
she's not viable as a candidate
with
that platform
attention though I guess lots
of it I
understand it I feel like yes
please get
rid of my debt absolutely has
no future
or the future seemed someone
get rid of
Rachel the robo caller even
though she
tried rachel the robo caller so
you
tweeted something very
important the
other day I did yes you did
I need more followers it was a
it was a
deconstruction of the written
transcript
or maybe it was the record of
the fisa
renewal hearing which took
place in was
that 2017 I think no no
remember the end
of 2017 and it was with Admiral
Rogers
who run and I'm gonna try and
paraphrase
it but what comes out of this
report is
the real reason for the Russia a
collusion mean and and I'm just
going to
help me out here because I did
pull two
clips just to accentuate it but
in
general around 2016 Rogers
discovered
that there were consultants
inside the
NSA database and they were
either
directly doing so-called about
queries
which means you can just take a
phone
number or an IP address and say
hey
click box 17 tell me who this
is then it
will spit that back and then
that was
being exported outside of the
NSA to
again you know in contractors
is not all
that uncommon at Snowden was a
contractor as an example and so
it came
to light that this was taking
place and
it turns out it was yes give
you a
little more backup Rogers
noticed just
to read honest dailies what was
that the
numbers for of these queries had
skyrocket yeah let's play that
clip and
then this is exactly what are
you saying
this is senator Lankford who of
course
understand this
all showboating so he he knows
exactly
what he's asking and Rodgers
knows
exactly what he's answering had
more
Rodgers this spring NSA decided
to stop
doing about queries that was a
long
conversation that's happened
there it's
now come out in the public
about that
conversation that that was
identified as
a problem the court agreed with
that and
that has been stopped what I
need to ask
you is who first identified
that as a
problem the National Security
Agency did
okay so how did you report that
reported
that to WHO how did that
conversation go
once you identified we were in
comfortable at this time so in
2016 I
had directed our office of
compliance
let's do a fundamental baseline
review
of compliance associated with
702 okay
we complete that that effort my
memory
is I was briefed on something
like
October the 20th that led me to
believe
the technical solution that we
put in
place is not working with the
reliability that's necessary
right then
from memory and ahead through
went to
the Department of Justice and
then on to
the FISA Court at the end of
October I
think it was something like the
26th of
October and we informed the
court we
have a compliance issue here
and we're
concerned that there's an
underlying
issue with the technical
solution we put
in place we told the court
we're gonna
need some period of time to
work our way
through that the court granted
us that
time in return the court also
said we
will allow you to continue 702
under the
16 authorizations but we will
not will
not reauthorize 17 until you
show us
that you have addressed this so
what he
was seeing was and and this is
follow up
clip to this what he was seeing
was a
high number of errors occurring
based
upon people doing and about
query and he
felt that the about query is
really
that's close to unmasking in
this
database and according to
section 702 is
not allowed to be used to spy on
American citizens in the u.s.
American
citizens abroad foreign
nationals in the
u.s. also not allowed to spy on
them
that can only be incidental the
unmasking if you're tracking
someone in
another country not a US
national who
happens to be talking about or
to an
American
that could be inside the United
States
and that would be accidental
and here's
what happened when you say
greater
reliability to know what you
mean by
that
because it was generating ears
our
office of in compliance
highlighted the
specific number of cases in
2016 and I
thought to myself clearly it's
not
working as we think it is we
were doing
queries unknowingly to the
operator and
a handful of situations against
us
person that I just say that is
not in
accordance with the intent of
the law
yeah clearly clearly it's not
not only
the intent its actual styrax
right else
that's that we protect us
persons from
this nurses foreign directed so
what I'm
hearing from you is the
accountability
system worked yes sir that the
issue
rose up we're collecting we do
have
information on us persons we
don't want
to get that information a bill
immediately the process started
going
through to be able to stop it
the court
didn't put the final stop on it
it was
corrected and then that's now
cleared
yes there and in fact were
purging the
data as well not only stopped
doing it
but we're purging the data that
we had
collected under the previous
authorization so what did not
come out
in this hearing but was in this
written
transcript and links in the
show notes
was a fantastic breakdown by
was that
the conservative tree house was
that a
Breitbart
operation who is that I have no
idea
something like that is that so
that
ability stopped at the end of
2016
because something was it was
being
abused and they shut it down
but what we
find out is this had been going
on since
2012 and the and the only
explanation
for that is that the Obama
administration most likely with
State
Department were spying on all
kinds of
Americans since 2012 all of a
sudden it
stopped
that's when Hillary writes in
an email
we're all going to hang
together because
spying on Americans will send
you to
jail for a long time and the
insurance
policy that page and strucked
spoke
about was not
to stop Donald Trump from
becoming
president it was to insert the
steel
dossier into the spying they
had already
done as justification so that
the spying
would not come aboveboard then
all of a
sudden she didn't because she
didn't
become president they trigger
the the
so-called insurance policy and
then
they're able to bring in Bob
Muller who
knows this extremely well he's
been a
part of of how the system works
in fact
he was he also oversaw the
prism system
which started as promised do you
remember the promise system it
was a
silly as I do remember it
vaguely it was
a Silicon Valley company called
ins law
and they developed this
database that
they licensed to the NSA and
FBI and Bob
Millar was overseeing it and
the people
were throwing everything in
here then
they loved it it became this
massive
massive collection of VIN
numbers on
cars and now house titles and
credit
cards and everyone's just
jamming it in
there it was really the the
precursor to
prism and prism we've heard
about from
from Snowden of course and now
this is
all tied into these new
surveillance
databases in Muller and I'm
once that he
was directly responsible but
they all of
a sudden they said to this
little
Silicon Valley company in LA
now we're not interested
anymore we're
not gonna we're not gonna use
you
anymore but then they just kept
using it
and they kept and they kept
giving
copies of the database and the
actual
program to other countries
because they
would call ins law and say hey
we need
some tech support but they
never bought
the program put this company
out of
business
it's a great story people died
in the
process oh I don't know about
that
that's why I was hoping you
would
remember this Google Google
search
number people died somebody
looking into
it yeah the government was
killing him
so for me it's like oh my god
this whole
thing is a complete sighs show
with
buy-in from the media and all
political
parties and it's what a
fantastic
cover-up and so Muller was in
there just
making sure that all of that
goes away
and you heard Admiral Rogers
say oh now
we're purging all that data -
I'm sorry
to hear that sorry you're
hearing you
covering up the tracks of who
might have
exported that or hopefully he
didn't but
and wasn't it Rogers who went
to trump
and said hey man they're spying
on you
yes that was Rogers there you go
so that's what went down this
was to
save their own hides from 20 30
years in
jail if it ever comes out and
of course
it was Susan Rice's name who
was who was
used and who's the whack job
who was the
ambassador to the UN
she's with Cass Sunstein oh
yeah yeah
her the red head son Steve's
wife
Samantha power
thank you for oh yeah I had the
same one
but this is a good clip yeah
this clip
does bring in another element
which is
that we always have to readjust
our
thinking about Bob Woodward
came out of
military intelligence and
probably still
gets a paycheck from somebody
because
there's all these books he does
is just
no one person can do those so
he's
somebody's writing them and
he's writing
important he also didn't he
write on his
blog still available that CIA
is all
over the media integrated
wasn't that
his SS code that's that's the
actual spy
okay no no I think no
Woodward's D I
believe to be the actual spy
based on
the stories told in family of
secrets by
russ Baker now he brings up all
this
information that makes it
obvious but
but I can I always have to
reset myself
because he I don't think he was
ever in
the CIA I think he's always
been part of
Defense Intelligence how could
be good
because that's because he came
out of
Navy intelligence so it makes
sense or
he could still be a navy
intelligence
which is one of the oldest
intelligence
services in the country goes
back to the
1700s anyway but let's do what
he has to
say and he kind of slams to see
in this more than two years ago
back in
January of 2017 when the steel
dossier
first surfaced
I remember your saying right
here on
this show that it is a quote
garbage
document do you feel that the
Muller
report basically discredited it
and to
what degree do you think it
played a
role in the Russia
investigation well
that's what's going to be
investigated
by lots of people including the
Attorney
General and including Senator
Lindsey
Graham my inspector general is
also
doing it yes and it should be I
mean
what I found out recently which
was
really quite surprising the
dossier
which really is got a lot of
garbage in
it and Muller found that to be
the case
early in building the
intelligence
community assessment on Russian
interference in an early draft
they
actually put the dossier on
page two in
kind of a breakout box I think
it was
the CIA pushing this real
intelligence
experts looked at this and said
no this
is not intelligence this is
garbage
and they took it out but in
this process
the idea that they would include
something like that in one of
the great
stellar intelligence
assessments as
Muller also found out is highly
questionable needs to be
investigated
yeah now how would he even know
that it
in a draft it was on page two
unless he
was really in the know he's
really in
the know so as I think we
agreed and the
thesis of the show is this
Muller
investigation was a a cleanup a
mop-up
of this spying for four years
on perhaps
political opponents there's also
insinuation that the IRS
scandal that
that original IRS database
which was
delivered on compact discs to
the office
of Eric Holder that that was the
original political spying
so if this if this indeed is
what it
looks like a clean-up operation
I don't
think Muller can was able to
make it
clean that no one gets busted I
think
there needs to be a fall guy or
a couple
well I'm thinking struck in
Paige you
know struck in Paige your
targets but
they're a little too convenient
it seems
to me well you could just yeah
you could
probably put a case around
strucken page
and make it look like there's
just a
couple of rogue FBI folk well
they're
the ones talking about the
insurance
policy in text messages so
that's kind
of smoking gun yeah once we
understand
what that means
well you never fully explained
it no but
that's maybe that's what Muller
put in
place no no we're find out this
visit
rolling out kind of nice and
smoothly
but it's just it's
mind-boggling to me
cuz we already thought this but
then
when I read that whole Feist a
transcript I'm like oh man
everything
has been a sideshow the whole
kit and
caboodle and now I can't watch
any of
these discussions it's just
dumb it's
completely dumb there's nothing
to do
with what happened and other
and other
people must have figured this
out it
can't be just us here not a
little no
agenda hole
oh I'm sure a lot of people I
mean when
you see even Woodward when he's
talking
on that Chris Wallace I think
he's
covering his own ass for shit
at the
same time he probably knows a
lot more
than he's ever gonna talk about
on TV
yeah yeah alright that we saw
that
I have you know here's a good
one
yeah lighten things up so
Zuckerberg has
a podcast now yeah which I was
excited
at first and then I turns out
it's just
gonna be some this I wanna
listen to the
whole thing
no of course not and so I know
I did cut
a few things out and yeah but
for the
most part I think I've got I've
got the
essence of his podcast hold on
stop
whenever you say you cut a few
things
out I'm thinking there's a John
C Dvorak
montage of epic proportion
coming down
the pipe well let's find out
hey everyone today I've
travelled to
Berlin that publishes and you
you've
really dedicated your career to
and and
I don't know if you want to you
want to
start off there we have a lot
of stuff
to cover and and and in that too
[Laughter]
[Music]
let me guess you have quite a
beard
growth this morning seeing as
you use
all your razor blades no good
one that's
pretty much the podcast there's
a lot of
podcast news today and before
you go
into the podcast news I want to
sit did
you listen the DHN plug
Horowitz barely
found some research that
indicates there
are 500,000 podcasts oh I'm
sure I'm
sure it's just like sure sure
it's just
like blogs now the best there's
this two
things happening and the best
is this
Netflix of podcasting which
I've now
heard Spotify is gonna be the
next
flicks of pot Amazon audible
was going
to be the Netflix of podcasting
and now
we have this new app luminary
the
Netflix of podcasting where you
become a
they have exclusive podcasts
that you
can't get anywhere except
inside their
app yeah great but no one's
gonna listen
to those podcasts yeah I mean
the thing
is didn't we go through all of
this once
before haven't we been around
this horn
so first about being the
Netflix of
anything this is it's like
being the
uber of anything yeah someone
said
correctly well Reed Hastings is
worth
the three point seven billion
dollars
yeah they burned ten million
dollars a
month at Netflix they're not in
a in a
money-making operation nor is
uber they
are not money-making person
really
losing this but ya lose Netflix
had to
pay a hundred million dollars
just to
keep friends on their on their
system
yeah
and when you are the conduit
between the
content and the consumer
there's a
horrible business to be in
trust me I know it's true
because the
minute you have success with
something
the price goes up that's just
how it
works
so friends friends hasn't been
on for
what 20 years now when friends
go off
the a hundred million dollars in
licensing fee yeah so here's
the problem
another mistake that is an
obvious one
and we've seen it happen before
with
this luminary
so of course they want to make
free
podcasts like the No Agenda show
available to people in their in
their
super secret app so you know
they're
paying certain but I think
there's some
famous people doing podcasts
what
doesn't matter good on them so
they're
someone's making some good
money doing a
show for this luminary outfit
but and
this happened we've seen this
before and
I can't believe that they fell
for it it
didn't do their research
apparently in
that app they are sucking in the
individual shows so the the
this episode
which would be n/a - 1 1 3 2 -
209 - Oh
4 - 2 5 - final dot mp3 they
store that
on their own server so that
they can
count downloads against it to
ultimately
sell ads around our show or any
other
free show sure well that's a
copyright
violation you can't do that how
is it a
copyright violation you'd
literally take
a copy of our show and sell ads
around
it that's a violation yeah but
where are
we coming with attribution
isn't it I
think it's doable so what if in
the
middle of the show all of a
sudden
there's a stop and then an ad
comes on
your there's an it that that
can't be
done but they can do it right
before the
show starts I would think so
yeah
we understand that a lot of
other
podcasters who do not employ
the value
for value model are a angry
because they
won't get a piece of that be
they can't track it they can't
track how
many people used luminary to
play the
show yeah it's impossible yeah
so this
is a backlash of epic and yet
and
completely predictable
proportions
because course 100 million
dollar
startup what a bunch of idiots
well good depends on what you
call idiot
they are possibly just working
on the
investment dime in other words
you give
yourself a you know you can't
overdo it
but you can you can live for a
couple of
years on a couple hundred
million
dollars investment into your
company
have to pay a lot of people to
keep them
to the spinning plates in the
air you
know it's something to do we've
been
through this I mean even even
pod show
had a version of this is the
undie
investors the investors they do
dumb
money that puts money into
these things
never what's the last time for
example
there's all these their major
companies
that put money into these
podcasting
schemes gimlet and all the rest
of them
are highly financed now has any
of the
the VCS the venture capital
guys the
guys who who really have to do
due
diligence because it's usually
somebody
else's money they're using did
I ever
call Adam curry the guy who
invented the
whole thing and actually ran a
network
called pod show does anybody
ever call
you just Rick routinely of to
talk to
you so they don't make a stupid
mistake
when they throw them the money
down the
drain
no no no no never no it makes
no sense
whatsoever yeah it's so now
because of
this there's calls for
unionization yes
this is again this are both I
think we
both join and this is the
silliest thing
ever podcast monetization
problems a
call for unionization and
platform
exclusivity this too has been
discussed
15 years ago we've been through
all of
it you can probably just
being it and you will find the
answers
to these problems which are to
fuck you
can't do it it's not gonna
happen it's
not how it works you also most
people do
not deserve to make money with
their
podcast because it's not it
doesn't
attract enough interested
people or it's
just shit
it's like blogs I remember the
blog was
the same thing well I'm right
now I
should get paid for my writing
we went
through this over and over
again well
this reminds me of the British
podcast
Awards yes the BC British
podcast Awards
dot-com
slash vote British cotton that
you can
go there now they do have their
categories but you can't vote
on those
but there's a thing at the top
says vote
and it's called the People's
Choice
Awards you know if you type in
the
search engine no agenda you
will see a
whole list of no agenda
connections with
a phony with a phony baloney
show is the
first one which pisses me off
the one the first one on my
list was the
No Agenda podcast the first one
was the
No Agenda podcast with the
Rolling
Stones tongue is that what you
voted for
I didn't vote you didn't vote
for your
own show why what kind of
Academy member
are you I'm going to vote it's
the
second I was on it I was on a
phone
browser like you couldn't see
anything
to vote on but so the first
one's a fake
yeah this there's five or six
in there
and art and it doesn't sit just
as no
agenda doesn't say the official
no
agenda and you'll never get our
pee
buddy this way hurts me there
were
podcasts that one Peabody
Awards by the
way yeah but they're all
they're all
repurposed yes they're on cash
yes on
NPR stuff yeah it was not one
real
podcast well I'm disappointed
if what
you said is true yeah
happy
Zach de New Zealand and
Australia as
we've we've done this before 22
of April
25th of April 1915 New Zealand
and
Australia remember the landings
at
Gallipoli I think it is
gallopping
literally Gallipoli the first
major
international war action
neither of
their armies was involved in so
they
might yes well it's like a
every member
this bit
well no it's like a looks like a
Veterans Day ghal appellee well
I just
wanted to say happy ends Act I
remember
the last time we talked about
it we
couldn't figure out what Anzac
me it
meant of course the NZ is for
New
Zealand and Australia well this
is also
the little period where we
spanish-american war started in
1898 yes
you wrote quite extensively
about that
in the news well not too
extensively but
extensively enough that it
killed the
content in the newsletter yeah
yeah we
yes exactly
I feel obliged to put content
in the
newsletter once in a while and
it's just
everything out the same yes it
doesn't
work it's not a good work
people talk a
big game degan Lizabeth warn
everybody
talks a big game about wanting
content
but you know when you give it
to him
they don't we get right down to
it now
not really but that was a quite
quite to
phony-baloney war and one of
our early
false flags yes it blew up the
main I
liked the picture the photo
with the low
sailors in the air blasted into
the sky
the worst there was a let me
see one do
I have a cup I found a lot of
hoaxes and
faked things actually if we can
just
switch to green new deal for
I think we can do this I'm sure
you're
happy to do PBS had a had a guy
on Adam
Higginbotham and he's written a
book
about Chernobyl the I would say
the most
used example of reasons not to
employ or
deploy nuclear energy because
you know
hey tens of thousands of people
died you
know people all over Europe got
cancer
was horrible
or was it I'm pretty sure what
have we
said consistently on this show
for the
past eleven years about
Chernobyl I
don't know that it was bullshit
that
there was not the tens of
thousands of
people didn't die and that that
no the
thing did melt down it was it
bullshit
no it melted down sure but it's
not like
the area is dead it's greener
than it's
ever been
they've capped that thing off
it was a
nuclear it was a military
nuclear
facility so it's it was more
severe than
anything but it's it's one it's
pretty
much the aside from Fukushima
and most
people from Fukushima died from
the
tsunami this has always been
heralded as
all these people died so this
guy is
written a book and it's really
about
technology and how we shouldn't
trust
technology but some interesting
details
came out this is PBS this is
almost 33
years ago and here you are
putting out a
book now what's untold about it
well I
would say that the principal
aspect of
what I'm told about it is that
this
version of the story is true
what did we get wrong well
because the
Soviet government did such an
excellent
job of attempting to cover up
the truth
of the beginning you know most
people's
conceptions of what happened I
kind of
rooted in the initial
propaganda that
the Soviet Union put out and
also the
misinformation that resulted
from a lack
of information so for example
you know a
lot of people still think that
tens of
thousands of people died almost
immediately as a result of this
accident
the case that's not the case
and but
part of the reason for that is
there's
Western correspondents in Moscow
weren't allowed access to any
information so they did their
best with
kind of rumors and hearsay with
a result
that I think within a week of
the
accident the New York Post was
reporting
the 15,000 people had died and
their
bodies buried in a nuclear
waste dump
somewhere any approach and when
in fact
it was when in fact the death
toll from
the accident by that point was
two to
one man died in the initial
explosion a
second man died by doing that
day as a
result of burns he sustained in
the
explosion and then how do we
calculate
the ones who sort of got
horrible
cancers I mean the official
figures are
that within five months another
29
people have died as a result of
as a
result of radiation exposure
they
received in those few hours
after the
first explosion but then when
you start
to try to not 15,000 - and then
another
29 from direct exposure to the
open
cores at the time and that's
just kind
of glossed over nuclear
disaster exactly
the way they do and here's the
thing
about it you know the media
places thing
is so we don't have the
benefits of
nuclear power like the French
do and we
could but we don't because they
do we
all the reactors are
custom-made and
then they're too expensive and
it's a
gyp
but here's the thing that gets
me about
the panthan nuke propaganda so
Fukushima
goes off and you end up with
you know
not a lot of chitchat about the
waste is
headed our way we're all gonna
get wiped
out on the west coast all the
this
initially don't we have that
guy with
the Geiger counter on the beach
regard
with a Geiger counter on the
beach and
then we have people like Alex
Jones
fussing seems to be on the
right hold on
all right listen to this this
is from
one of our clips from
2013 the Geiger counter on the
beach
this is the kind of shit that
was going
on oh we got it on the beach
it's in the
way it's in the tuna sushi yeah
so you
can't eat the fish but the
point I was
making is you have the right
wingers uh
who should be pro nuke that's
right as
if we're all gonna die cuz of
this Puka
show it's a cloud the cloud is
coming
over California and all the
rest of it
let me come on the Dolphins are
carrying
nuclear plastic all kinds of
stuff like
this and now we have another
hoax
another green New Deal hoax very
disappointing that the famous
Sir David
Attenborough has been is a part
of this
our planet oh yeah he's co-opted
completely yeah and it's really
good
first of all the guy has such a
seminal
voice for documentaries is just
pleasure
pleasant to listen to him and he
instills trust netflix has a
promo out
for our planet to documentary
series
narrated by the same David
Attenborough
and it features a scene of
walruses
falling off of a cliff bouncing
at I
don't you seeing this bouncing
on the
rocks and then dying at the
bottom in a
bloody mess and then you know
the end
then the next one jumps off and
it falls
backwards and it just dies on
top of the
other one and these are big
animals and
well here's the scene from this
from the
from the documentary you'll
note that
the people talking about what's
happening and why this is
happening is
not David Attenborough it's the
camera
guy and it's I guess a producer
not sure what her credentials
are and
she's crying here we go
[Music]
and literally to the top of the
rockiest
part of the clip
once at the top of the 80 meter
cliffs
they rest until it's time to
return to
the sea in search of food
little sections that they're
really
stupid and they were just
really steep
we're gonna go one right on the
edge
and now it's falling off in
slow motion
bashing its head against the
rocks blood
spurting out falling down this
probably
two or three hundred dead
horizontal but
the half mile stretch bitter
then
exhausted his Empress River 100
miles
now to get to food and then
coming back
here it's the only place to
sleep they
used to sleep on the ice dive
down need
food sleep on the ice easy
and now there's the villain
Kumar's
coming to this base planet less
and
they're just exhausted and
fallen down
and
by the bank health warning or
just
there's several thousand crab
Dalton
little tiny bits of beaches the
sad
reality of climate change would
be on
the ice right now if they could
be
there's no option but to come
to land
they're just a danger to
ourselves
[Music]
watch witnesses
[Music]
it's so horrible this is the
worst thing
that climate change is done to
anything
or anyone you see after the
polar bears
didn't die off because of
climate change
in fact your population
increased
substantially substantially now
the
walrus is the new polar bear
and they're
usually like it and they're
using this
to say because there's not
enough ice
they are driven onto land and
there's
too many of them and then they
fall off
the rocks to their death
unfortunately
nothing could be further from
the truth
this is called a land haul and
walruses
do this periodically they did
it in the
1980s when the population
outstrips the
food supply they have they do
this land
haul maneuver and they kill
themselves
in order to ensure there's
enough food
for the younger generation and
in fact
the walrus population is doing
quite
well it's up from a hundred
thousand to
three hundred thousand but yet
because
of global warming they're
throwing
themselves off of the cliff a
total lie
yeah shameful but hey well you
could be
the Netflix or podcasting next
I have
the clip of these climate
changes now I
want you to just pay careful
attention
here climate change big numbers
of
democracy now and climate news
an
alarming new report published
in the
journal Nature communications
finds
without immediate action to curb
greenhouse gas emissions
melting Arctic
permafrost could add as much as
seventy
trillion dollars to the overall
economic
impact of climate change Wow
seventy
trillion ice from melting ice
and whose
numbers were those she never
said I
couldn't find him but I'm sure
somebody
came up with him seventy
trillion
dollars it's a lot of money but
just
seventy trillion
I think what's our GNP is like
I mean I
don't learn one or two trillion
I mean
it's like the whole the whole
world has
to shut down to pay for this is
bullcrap
it's just bullcrap
yeah seventy trillion it wasn't
his look
at the GNP there was an
interesting
research study published by the
University of Chicago about the
renewable portfolio standards
something
I had not heard of before yeah
I'm sorry
I'm sorry G and P is nineteen
point six
trillion so this would be the
entire
production of the United States
for
three actually more than three
years
three and a half years to fix
the
problem of the melting ice
anyway okay
well and unless you know
something else
horrible is made up to go along
with
that yeah okay renewable
portfolio
standards something that's been
going on
since the turn of the
millennium and
individual states have these
are pieces
which is the amount of
renewable energy
you have to have and there's a
sliding
scale for it turns out there's
29 states
that have these renewable
portfolio
standards Texas being one of
them
surprisingly and so you know as
we know
and and I think you see more
energy
companies advertising this fact
that
these days we played one a
couple shows
ago when you have more
renewable energy
you need more gas-fired energy
or it
could be nuclear but gas is
these are
the people that are happiest
they're
like hey we're all in shit
we'll build
some windmills no problem and
here's
what the numbers break down to
just to
give you an idea of what you
really need
in actual
plant capital or capacity to go
to keep
in stride with the renewables
and it's a
very lengthy report but the
idea is
renewables have a 30% capacity
factor so
if you want to go to 50%
renewable you
have to build one hundred and
sixty six
percent renewable capacity
which means
you need to have 115 percent
base load
provided by fossil fuels such
as a gas
so to get to the fifty percent
renewable
portfolio standard you need two
hundred
and eighty one percent to
assure 100
percent base load power so
fossil fuel
companies are going to make out
like
bandits because of this and
that's that
that's the truth of your green
New Deal
200 and so that we're talking
almost a
three-fold increase that's a
lot of gas
yes too much hype and I put
these this
research in the show notes it's
as I
said it's like a 50 page
document but
it's all from University of
Chicago so
pretty reliable and just shows
you that
this is where we're headed
you're you're
literally making the fossil fuel
companies rich and I'm not you
know hey
consider nuclear that's never
done
that's why the thing is scam
ish well I
think because of these numbers
now I
think the nuclear industry is
becoming
interesting for to investors
wait a
minute if we need to have that
kind of a
baseline power load then you
know the
billion dollar investment per
nuke plant
kind of looks ok over time and
I and I
think you're going you will see
this
change it has to I don't think
we can
even provide that much natural
gas a lot
of fracking going on well
the whole country will sink
because of
the franking but we'll have
renewable
energy I just thought that
wasn't a
fascinating set of numbers it's
scary
well let's go to Sri Lanka then
and
catch up with this okay you
have any
reports I got some thoughts on
it I got
one from ITN and then have an
ISO which
is part two for second clip of
part two
of this which is standalone ISO
it just
so happens to be the part two
but report
from Sri Lanka is an independent
television news the police
trying to
assure people away from the
first of a
series of controlled explosions
they
conducted across the capital
today a
nervous public washing on as
they dealt
with another suspicious vehicle
security
is at its highest level here
even at the
morgue where relatives are still
arriving to identify the dead
with the
country's churches still in
lockdown
details have started to emerge
about
those responsible for the
Easter Sunday
attacks this house in a quiet
residential area of Colombo was
where
the family of two brothers
responsible
for the hotel bombings lived
when police
raided the property on Sunday
the wife
of one of the men triggered a
suicide
vest sanaka lives on the same
street the
woman killed herself her two
children
and three policemen neighbour
Mohammed
knew the Bombers father and
can't
believe his family were
responsible
almost everybody knows from
this Lane
you know he's famous guy and
he's rich
guy he's a good guy he never
thought
this will happen from his house
it's a
really big shock for everyone
the government have confirmed
all nine
suicide bombers were from
well-off Sri
Lankan families and one of them
studied
in the UK a worker at a copper
factory
owned by the cinnamon grande
bomber told
us they were shocked when the
bomb squad
turned up looking very very
good man
can I guess that's the ISO
knows what he
has to say next inside please
please understand very bad very
bad
you understand English what
very bad
now a couple of things that
have not
been pointed out by anybody and
yet I
want to hear your thoughts also
which
I'm sure are more interesting
than what
I'm gonna explain which is that
they
showed a video of the one of
the Bombers
walking down through town and
then going
into one of the churches that
blew up
and he clearly had a backpack
on and it
appears as if the backpack was
filled
with explosives uh-huh and in
western
countries and Sri Lanka is
pretty much
westernized it's not an it's
not weird
to see people wandering around
I've
always felt this is a bad trend
wandering around with backpacks
filled
with stuff they go to the store
with
their backpacks I go to the
store the
other day and there's people
with
backpacks on in a vegetable
store and
you know they turn around in the
backpack hit yes huge backpack
and he's
wiggling it off and me rolling
you know
wheels were invented for a
reason but
okay you want to carry around a
load
your shirt by you're gonna walk
around
this back but I think these
guys have
switched and so when they said
that this
woman blew up a vest to kill
the her yes
I don't believe so I believe
was a
backpack and I think that the
future of
these these bombers is
backpacks nuts
vests it's too hot
nobody's me well I mean in the
Middle
East that people do this
because they
were black and then Sondra
forty degrees
out but in other countries like
sri lanka being a good example
people
are in short sleeves they don't
really
have a there's no done i'm
gonna be
wearing a vest
but they will be carrying around
backpacks and i think this
needs to be i
think they did do bombers have
figured
this out
Oh David hog can sell some of
his clear
plastic backpacks are you
required by
law yeah it could be well so
you had
some thoughts yeah I haven't
there's a
number of things going on and
first of
all it's always disturbing to
realize
that the United States Navy
started a
huge exercise in Sri Lanka on
the 19th
of April a multi day exercise
so we we
had a lot of people there in
the port
just always interesting to note
whenever
you have that going on I think
that well
it's obvious that this
operation was not
just some willy-nilly thing it
was
organized quite well we
immediately had
a boogie man who we never heard
of
before national towie --the JAMA
immediately right away just
like 9/11 we
had up here's a passport but
this is
it's got to be these guys and
please
recall that we had two clips
from Fox
News when the nut Saddam was
burning
people saying hey wait a minute
there's
something going on with the you
know
churches and people and they
shut him
down
shut up you can't talk about it
not a
typical FoxNews move who love
conspiracy
certainly if it's anti Islamic
I think
that this interrupted the
operation and
the last thing the people
running this
Sri Lanka operation wanted was
people
calling out were more hate being
generated against Islamists in
Europe
versus where this took place
two clips
here just to give you some
thoughts as a
former that's a quote former
FBI agent
of Fox News or things with Shep
Smith
actually
and this is the intelligence
community's
line and I know that because I
got an
email from pichan ik and in a
you know
fully recognizing he's my
handler to a
degree his email said you
should do a
show about how Christians have
been
persecuted all around you know
the world
I've been tracking this forever
this you
should he's never told me to do
a show
about anything he has never even
listened to the show as far as
I know
cheers he keeps saying how's
your radio
show okay fine it's great it's
a great
radio show so that to me said
something
ah you want to be pushing the
anti-christian mean I'm not so
sure
let's listen to the FBI guy
first who's
read in on the topic and
retired FBI
special agent Bobby should call
me Bobby
thank you for being here this
morning
tough news but not it's not Shep
obviously for someone like you
this is
not something new we've seen
Muslim
radical terrorist groups
attacking
Christians around the globe
what does
this attack tell you well it's
an
outreach right so we've had
relative
stability in Sri Lanka for at
least a 10
years since their civil war
ended
so it tells me that this radical
ideology is spreading the Indian
subcontinent now being attacked
and so
you know it's it's another sign
that the
Middle East is not the the sole
source
of these attacks and that we'll
see more
of these attacks in places
where we've
seen relative stability okay boy
oh yeah oh yeah you can wait
for it so
they're setting something up
yeah this
group NJT you're right there
hasn't been
even have an acronym for them
now NJT
the juice Thalia oh yes this is
very
quick these things John never
heard of
these NJT guys up there they
are on the
scene pushed by everybody stop
you for a
second and mention one thing
because
there was a lot of battling
going on we
heard about the Terrorism going
on in
Sri Lanka but you have to always
remember that during that era
which just
ended 10 years ago as the civil
war a
civil war well wasn't a civil
war as
much as it was terrorism but
between two
opposing forces but it was
Buddhist Buddhist Hindus yes
and this is
no Muslim component in banal
all of a
sudden there is in fact the
you're
jumping the gun a little bit
but you're
correct
the Muslim population is very
small
under 10% in Sri Lanka Christian
population about 7% the
majority are
Buddhist if you're going to
send a
message to somebody which this
is and
I'll get to that
you don't especially in light
of the oki
its historians call it civil war
everything I've read but it was
Hindus
against Buddhist and in fact
you had
radical Buddhists so we don't
want to
spark off something internally
we got to
blow somebody up well we're not
gonna
blow up Moslems let's blow up
some
Christians and you know by the
way there
were hotels not necessary there
were
three hotels three churches
there's not
necessarily all places of
worship but
you want to avoid the Hindus or
the
Buddhists because that could
set off
some other stuff when you're
just doing
this to send a very clear
message yeah
this group njt you're right
there hasn't
been radical Islamic terrorism
in Sri
Lanka but their aim is to
spread the
global Islamist movement to
that country
so suicide bombings there those
are the
types of things we saw from
al-qaeda and
Isis I mean is this part of
that same
strands to live sure and and
make no
mistake people identifying the
super
group as the one that carried
it out the
planning and the support that
was needed
to carry out an attack like
this has
undoubtedly been supported by
significant assistance from
outside of
Sri Lanka I would not be
surprised if
the investigation determines
that there
was significant assistance
coming from
groups outside that country to
support
an operation I think this is a
very
coordinated very planned this
small
local group inside Sri Lanka
while it
could have carried out an
attack like
this I doubt that they did so
without
material support from outside
that
country so we have to look at
Isis we
have to look at al-qaeda we
have to look
at some of the other
international
groups that are they're able to
send
that kind of support both
financial
training bomb-making equipment
bomb
makers and those kind of things
I would
imagine
and they're going to find a lot
of that
support came from outside
outside he
makes it clear outside outside
outside
okay outside I've said it many
more
times before it became obvious
remember
that both Hillary Clinton and
Barack
Obama tweeted about Easter
worshippers
all part all people who I
believe and I
know this sounds crackpot II
but I
believe they all knew something
was
coming they didn't know exactly
what it
was but they knew something was
coming
it was a big message to Sri
Lanka Sri
Lanka has had an ongoing
dispute with
India India does not want them
in bed
with China as part of one belt
one Road
what has China just done they
have
poured hundreds of billions of
dollars
into the port the very port
where the US
Navy was during this attack
doing an
exercise I believe and you look
at the
political things that political
things
have gone on with an
appointment of a of
an interior minister who was
then kicked
out because India didn't want
it because
that guy was friendly to China
this was
India with help from I think US
sending
a message saying screw you you
have to
get China out of there we can't
it's
very important in the Indus
again it's
in the shipping lane looking on
the map
where Sri Lanka is yes part of
the choke
points the Chinese have put
that they've
militarized parts of this port
part of
this base so we're there to
make sure
they don't go crazy and do
something
well this operation takes place
it can't
be Buddhist or Hindi it has to
be when
we're not going to do Muslims
so might
as well do the Christians in a
couple of
hotels and I think people
pucking knew
about it that's why they were
trying to
keep it calm we don't want this
huge
thing we'd only want it focused
on this
one little group in Sri Lanka
this group
by the way which trained
apparently in
the same area where the Tamil
Tigers
trained and I'm pretty sure we
all know
who trained the Tamil Tigers
because
that was the u.s. same as Isis
its it
this is really unbelievable
are you done yeah I'm done I
think we
had a lot to do with it I
wouldn't be
surprised I have no evidence of
that but
it wouldn't surprise me now all
we have
is is parallels to past events
and when
you have something that happens
like
this and you immediately mm-hmm
did this
new group and they're named
instantly I
mean all the earmarks of hoaxes
here's
not a hoax that didn't happen
because
nowadays they don't care if
they kill
anybody so I said so I replied
to patch
annex email and I said yeah
that's you
know persecution happens but I
can't and
it laid at us I can't get past
the path
past the fact of this this
Chinese deal
the Indians very vocal no we're
not just
us I have a whole article here
about
William Avery saying India must
kick
China out of Sri Lanka I mean
this is
this is not something that just
happened
and I'd laid out this this idea
to him
he never replied to it
I sent him another email he
replies to
that almost three minutes later
so you
know I think in his older age
he's not
getting too good at the
handling because
the idea is I'll keep everyone
focused
on Christians Christians and of
course
it was Christians big problem
there's a
lot of good well that's what
they you
end sex-slave resolution was
about
Christians which just went
through I
have a clip here if you want to
play
that yeah I know anything about
this the
United Nations Security Council
passed a
resolution Tuesday aimed at
ending rape
as a weapon of war after the
u.s. used a
veto threat to strip the
measure of any
mention of sexual and
reproductive
health the Trump administration
successful move to water down
the
measure over its opposition to
abortion
was blasted by France's UN
Ambassador
who said quote it's intolerable
and
incomprehensible that the
Security
Council is incapable of
acknowledging
that women and girls who
suffered from
sexual violence and conflict
and who
obviously didn't choose to
become
pregnant should have the right
to
terminate their pregnancy
unquote the
resolution was championed by
Nobel Peace
Laureate Naja Murad i uz D
Kurdish human
rights activist from Iraq she
was
kidnapped by the Islamic state
repeatedly raped as she was
held as a
sex slave for almost three
months Wow
where did this take place this
will what
their sex slave slave yeah no
no that
was referring to the that whole
Isis
incidents with a Christian
angle again
is the Christians from uzd I
also saw a
mala Amal Clooney was at the UN
talking
about this yeah and so
everyone's
talking about but they're all
there to
trash Trump because apparently
the
administration doesn't want
this to be
just a some sort of a
government-funded
abortion operation that's the
way they
see it but in then I have a Sri
Lankans
official apologizes and there's
some
information in here when you
say yeah
this was these guys knew this
was coming
it might be kind of hinted in
this clip
Sri Lankan officials apologized
Monday
for failing to respond to
multiple tip
offs ahead of Sunday's eight
attacks a
confidential memo circulated
among Sri
Lankan security agencies gave
the names
addresses and phone numbers of
some of
the suspects
it's not clear why authorities
failed to
act on the warnings one
surveillance
video showed a suspect wearing a
backpack casually strolling
toward st.
Sebastian Church north of
Colombo
minutes before a bomb ripped
through a
crowd of Easter Sunday
worshipers
killing more than a hundred of
them on
Tuesday the self-proclaimed
Islamic
state claimed responsibility
for the
bombings the group circulated a
video
purporting to show eight
members of Sri
Lankan cell pledging allegiance
to the
group now I have to say that
generally
speaking when the ISIS people
said that
they did something is usually
something
they did like the Vegas attack
for
example right which we've has
nothing
but a mess
but I'm wondering if we haven't
abuses
because Isis has been pretty
much wiped
out of Syria their headquarters
are
gonna we don't even know who's
running
the place so how are you gonna
get an
official pronouncement from
them unless
the
official pronounces are now
co-opted it
could be our military
intelligence this
is CIA saying well we kind of
know Isis
kind of know who
Isis is and who trained them in
Jordan
and then you know who gave them
weapons
in Syria
we kind of know them yeah well
that's
why we gave it we also gave
them like a
whole cache of weaponry yeah
yeah well
that was a trade group but
thanks Obama
pretty much we've yeah I did I
didn't
notice time just flew by so it
is high

can you see that Jews you've
got karma
we have Jamie's Martin to $200
he says I
was one of the attendees at the
Portland
meetup on Saturday he had a
great time
meeting everyone hope to see
you all in
the future also I used to
listen to the
show sped up but the silence is
taken
out Tom's a double whammy
uh-huh but now
I like it the more natural
sound of the
original audio as it gives me
some
mental breaks especially when
it work
which is where I listened most
of the
time and finally meetup.com
does suck NJ
and yes that's why we do what
you do in
technology if you don't like
what's out
there make one of your own I
will say
hard is it's a code this stuff
I was
looking for a particular
segment on an
old show and I went to no
agenda player
calm which is completely new
have you
seen this thing recently no I
have no no
agenda player calm is it's
beautiful and
and I don't think this the
producer was
done this cuz we know we don't
maintain
or build any of these sites and
I think
we don't we don't even have the
domain
name no agenda player calm he
could sell
this he could open this up to
any
podcast it's so fantastic and
now you
have the ability to annotate so
you can
come in and you can say you
know like
SoundCloud you say here I want
to put a
little note here here's where
this topic
of discussion started and it
was so
helpful it's just fantastic
just a
little plug it's a good plug
well this
is what this is what the value
for value
network is I don't mind you
plug in the
thing it's not as terrific yeah
we have
thousands of producers and we
have no
advertising and yet here we are
and yet
here we are
and we haven't unionized yet
all the
lines think well I'm gonna bust
your
union diamond I'm your scab to
scatter
me out I'm gonna scab to out
and do the
the Adam agenda podcast Adam
agenda John
agenda yeah
g-money ology money Damji money
gee money mm-hmm $200 hey guys
what's
the episode where you all tell
us about
how the show production works
200 points
something whatever the highest
number
200 point 8 I think or 200
point 6 and
how producers can contribute
with ISOs I
don't know if we ever did a
show about
that and such also my friend
white cell
is a douchebag oh hold on call
her out
we just did white cell you know
you love
the show gifts some of that
value for
value love donating feels good
love you mean it damn gee money
well
since this since we have no more
executive or associate executive
producers we'll take a moment
to explain
once again this is the value
for value
model we don't have an audience
of
listeners we have a network of
producers
many producers just sit home
scratch
their crotch and say grit shoe
sometimes
they go out and they help
propagate the
formula called hitting people
in the
mouth other people use their
talents or
their knowledge so particular
stories
you can send in just Adam
McCurry calm I
can say John and Dvorak org
does that
work yeah yeah squeaky chair
Dvorak org
the chair does want its own
email
address and you can we have many
different places where you can
contribute just annotating the
show and
no agenda player comm or going
to and
there's also I found the was
the no
agenda like one big PDF file
the hell
was that again
damnit keep forgetting to
promote that
one it's like it's a train it's
a it's a
it's a topic list of every show
we've
done it's a huge PDF really
yeah what
Joe does it end at the most
recent one
which one is it start at I
didn't look
but it was such a huge file now
I forgot
what it were do you fine I'll
put it in
the show notes I'll find it
I'll find a
link to find it myself I
tweeted a link
to
the other day no I missed it so
it so is
out there anyway so people do
that or
you know the art generator
where artists
upload their art these are all
producers
and you'll find that people get
out of
the network what they put into
it that
sometimes it's just accolades
from your
colleagues sometimes if we're
in art
it's just an exercise but
people have I
know people who've never done a
mix or a
jingle in their life and
they've learned
how to do it by sending stuff
into the
show and some of it is just so
bad it's
so funny we love to play it and
then all
sudden these people turn into
really
good producers in that regard
clips I
mean just just email it if it's
over ten
megabytes
please use wetransfer or
something like
that because it'll just get
bounced back
by my email server and then one
last tip
if you have something to share
either on
Twitter or on email it is not a
good
idea you have to choose where
you're
gonna send it to send it to
John or send
it to Adam if you send it to
both of us
what often happens is none of
us neither
of us do anything with it and
that's the
same with tweets if you send
something a
link to something just give me
the
context where's it from who's
talking is
the file that shows up with oh
this is
great and then we have luckily
a portion
of our producers who function
like
Hollywood does where they
finance the
work that keeps Adam and John
alive and
that is how you get an executive
producer it keeps us from doing
too many
other things as the key that is
indeed
the key you're right
I mean I tried for a little bit
try and
do some crypto ico coin scam I
didn't
work but we got some fun free
shows out
of the Netherlands for it so I
didn't
pay to go over there but anyway
well
it's good anyway
yes that that's your right and
I think
the less we do to make ends
meet and
just keep on the
I've really give us I've really
given up
on becoming a millionaire again
so like
I don't think I got any more
ideas in me
and I think I got any I'm too
tired I'm
gonna go pitch stuff I don't
want to do
anything corporate I've been
completely
corrupted myself I'm patently
unhireable
was it's nice not that you know
it's
nice to be able to do the kind
of do one
thing we do without having to
worry
about that because it people
have no
idea how hard it is to bring
some of
these topics up in in a
commercial
environment it's not even
something you
can't do it you can't do it
they slowly
except you talk about any of
this don't
be accepted you're exactly
right so
that's the deal and that's why
this
podcast is a real podcast
unlike any phony-baloney stuff
this is
the real deal ladies and
gentlemen and
we want to thank these executive
producers and associate
executive
producers of episode 1132 it's
your show
you get to take that credit you
get to
put it anywhere it works for
your credit
to recognize and they are quite
valuable
and we need support more than
this
hopefully for our next program
which
will be on Sunday visit our
donation
page at Devorah
dot org insurance policy was
formula is
this
we hear people in the mouth
everyone today
[Music]
get more suck in there did you
notice
that
Zuckerberg starts hi everyone's
exactly
the same way Scott Adams does
uh yeah a
little bit I guess and that's
where he
got it from I think he listens
dad him
CEO that's how you do it just
even do it
he also puts an audio version
out on an
RSS feed yeah so it was
derivative well
no but I'm saying that Scott
Adams does
it on RSS feed yeah okay well
he's a
podcaster then we'll give him
that he
doesn't want it maybe he thinks
it's a
humiliation PD hold on one
second yeah

while let me explain what

then the
question is ask and then the
candidate
always gets up and starts
answering the
question to the crowd it's a
it's a very
unnatural format and kind of
goofy to be
honest and now I'm just
thinking perhaps
that's you know you got to get
up to see
the prompter
that's possible the other thing
is is
like if they're gonna make
these things
so rigged and so scripted put
in a spa
plus sign up people do it turns
on
people gladly applaud the
warm-up guy
comes in gets crowd all jacked
up he's
jumping up and down and then he
he then
he will tell the II will direct
the
audience to pay attention to the
applause sunny when you see a
clap it'll
make the show that much better
so
California has been in the in
the news
certainly for San Francisco and
Los
Angeles for the pooping on the
streets
for the needles found
everywhere there's
now another there's a needle
map in
addition to the poop map you I
think
there's an app for it as well
San
Francisco on the side they hand
out four
and a half million needles each
year to
drug addicts and because
Starbucks did
what they did and yeah you
anyone has a
human right to be in a
Starbucks no
matter what your situation is
now they
are installing needle disposal
boxes in
the Starbucks bathrooms
and it seems that this type of
decriminalization that we've
seen in
what was the the current metric
in
California for crimes that are
no longer
there I think they're called
crimes of
need I don't know what they're
called
but anything under a thousand
dollars
he's no longer there's no
longer looked
into it's no one there right
the police
don't care you get your car
somebody
comes by and cracks the
windshield gonna
cost you it's gonna cost you or
your
insurance companies I don't
know how
many hundreds of dollars to fix
but more
than a ten cents and your time
yeah too
bad well but wait I got the guy
in video
tip I got that ureas of student
care
this is rolling out now in
Dallas when
it comes
- rolling out his new policy
for justice
reform in Dallas County DA John
Cruz Oh
makes no apologies we have an
over
criminalization of America and
it starts
with poor people and people of
color and
we know that everybody knows it
everybody says we're going to do
something about it but nobody
ever does
anything about it and so that's
why I'm
acting council members listened
as the
DEA outlined his plans to
eliminate
prosecution of certain
low-level crimes
including marijuana offenses
and theft
of personal items worth less
than 750
dollars unless the theft was for
financial gain my concern is
it's gonna
have the hardest impact on these
low-income high crime areas
council
member sandy Grayson expressed
concern
over the DA's policy to not
prosecute
thefts for crimes of need
because I
think we're not really
considering the
business owner in this what if
six
people come in in one day and
take
diapers six different people
how does he recover that loss
another concern the DA's plan
to cut
back on prosecuting crimes of
trespassing and panhandling is
killing
Pleasant Grove killing us
councilmember Kevin Felder says
he
believes the DA is on the right
track
and I support what you're doing
because
Dallas has one of the highest
concentrations of poverty in
the nation
so it is they said it they're
the crimes
of need that is the term that
anyone
who's stealing is $700 item for
whatever
reason they need the money
yes crime of need well then all
crimes
are crimes of need well this is
special
special cases John is special
it's under
$700 crime of need diapers so
what
they're gonna do is they're
gonna let
them this is this the DEA that
initiated
this and this the DEA in
Seattle who
initiated a similar program up
north
it's the DA's around here that
are this
Kamala Harris is a good example
of one
of the San Francisco DA's who
put push
this or
you bet and so what you end up
with is
just rampant crime $700 is not
a who
gives the idea who has this
idea that
$750 is meaningless elites with
a lot of
dough at least with a lot of
dough is
exactly right because I mean
it's
somebody if you get a speeding
ticket
and it's gonna cost you $200 you
consider that a lot of money
just drops
out while they're at it
it's just ridiculous I mean
they're so
cavalier that they think 2 7 M
50 bucks
means nothing to anybody I'm
reliably
informed that this particular
issue and
perhaps even the moniker crimes
of need
will be used incessantly in the
2020
election well they're gonna lose
incessantly then I don't know
there's a
lot of people who who who might
commit
crimes of need or could be
thinking
about it for instance NPR just
did a
story about today's millennial
who owns
nothing and lives nowhere if
the part of
the gig economy with a native
ed Stephen
T Johnson works in social media
advertising and he spends most
of his
days using things he does not
own I took
an uber to Equinox to shower
before we
met and then went to podshare
and then
came to we work Stephen took a
rideshare
to get to the gym he uses he
does not
own a car at the gym he rents a
locker
he uses the gyms laundry
service because
he does not own a washing
machine he
doesn't even have an apartment
actually
exactly we were gonna meet at
podshare
disco living space where
Stephen rents a
bed just a bed in a big open
room with
about a dozen other people but
it was
too loud so we went to his
co-working
space a place called we work
where
Stephen rents a desk we work is
also an
NPR sponsor coincidental you
have that
in the story let's hear more
Stephen
owns so little he can carry
most of his
stuff in his hands actually
gave up my
backpack about that was the
smallest I
got down to and I gave it up
two months
ago Stephen also only owns two
outfits
see even back but just having a
back
will become suspicious John so
I think
you're right about that well
two of the
same outfit
Under Armour brand --less sport
shoes
Lululemon pants bloomin socks
Louie
women shirt limit underwear
Stephen is
part of a newish group of young
people
kind of well-off but also in a
way
homeless the Stephen represent a
fundamental shift in American
capitalism
as we know it the fact is that
we can't
afford to sort of hoard anymore
that's Skyler Wang he's a PhD
student at
UC Berkeley he studies the
sociology of
the sharing economy and he
thinks one of
the biggest factors in this
economic
shift is younger people buying
fewer
houses and she was in to live
in dense
urban areas and rent smaller
places part
of this is houses just being
more
expensive than they were for
our parents
but when you're more okay with
renting
the place you live in it's
maybe a lot
easier to accept the life where
you rent
and share a whole lot more
Wang does point out even if
young people
own less they still have a lot
of stuff
stuff that isn't tangible I
talked to a
lot of minimalist they are the
type of
people who loves to talk serve
right
they own like 30 things but
then the
interesting thing is that they
hoard
digitally they hoard digitally
they have
tons of photographs they have
thousands
and thousands of Instagram
posts there's
still an economy of stuff it's
just
different stuff it's
experiences I'm
speechless
well there's a couple things in
there
that don't surprise me
especially this
idea of experiences yes being
studied to
an extreme now and it seems
that the
Millennials at least at least
one group
of them and I believe it's the
older
ones have more they did they
have more
love of having annex court
unquote
experience this is why the the
we've
noticed this trend with the
single batch
small batch and all these
things you buy
a product have a story and it
has to be
an experience just as God yes
no story
knows no sale
yeah it's going no story no
sale best
price no story no sale and so
you end up
with this is so everything is a
kind of
senator others and I watch this
and it's
like it's flabbergasting to be
honest
about it it will make sacrifice
for the
experience it's yeah I don't
even really
still contemplating it but that
that
well he said you ran is this
tells a lot
of this story well you also
would be one
of the frontrunners of talking
about how
inexpensive the disk space has
become so
for them to be collecting
experiences
documenting said experiences and
hoarding them is incredibly sad
that
they're storing this on
Instagram even
though I believe that the likes
and the
comments are all part of the
experience
and that can go away you know
that can
get deleted you can get kicked
off your
anything can happen and just
imagine if
that is truly your experience
your life
and that is very important to
you and
you have no possessions as a
minimalist
but you have your possessions
are your
documentation of your
experiences and it
gets taken away I think people
will off
themselves
they didn't mention that here
being an
old old-timer computer lobbyist
type oh
sorry I want to say when he was
talking
about his collections the first
thing
that came to my mind and this
is why I
thought as interesting what you
just
said as he said this is so I
have all
these photos I forgot a
collection of
photos and I have all my
Instagram posts
right the first thing went
right through
my brain was oh he's somehow
backed up
Instagram he has it on it on a
big heart
don't no way no way well and
now that
you mention it you're right
there's no
way and I will say this and
you've seen
this happen over the last 20 or
30 years
there's all these systems that
come up
and people say oh I can restore
my whole
photo collection I can store
the whole
thing in full size and they put
all that
instead of having it backed up
on a
cheap hard disk that you can
buy at
Costco yeah that has terabytes
and
terabytes of storage no no you
store it
all on some off on some online
and
here's a crazy idea here's a
crazy crazy
thought that I've advocated for
many
times print some out you you
will lose
your photos your drive been
saving
photos all my life and I know
that at
least one or two of my drives
will never
fire up again
you need to print some stuff
out print
it out you can you can send it
to CVS
and go buy on your way home
from your
shitty job and I think a
advertising
Interactive Advertising the
guy's
probably making thirty seven
thousand
dollars a year because he has
to compete
against you know the H cuz he's
to be
yeah you know h-2b visa workers
oh I'm
sorry
now what you just said I think
is a
great idea and I will mention
the Costco
and other places you could put
you know
two or three quote-unquote
roles on a
small sum drive and take it to
Costco
and they'll print these things
out here
inexpensively about the same
you'd have
to pay for supplies to do it
yourself it
fairly inexpensively annual and
you will
have these backups and they
actually the
gear that they're the big print
guys
have is a little better than
what you
generally have in it and it's
also did
Tunes the photos a little bit
this could
be an entire generation of
children who
get old and die and this done
be nothing
left I really enjoy having some
of my
mom's crazy shit some letters
and some
photo photos I like the photos
I like
photos of my daughter
black-and-white
photos yeah yeah angry cuz I
know I've
saved all of the original
videotapes of
Christina second birthday third
birthday
there's some fun stuff on it
start
rolling them out its VHS its
add then I
also have VHS see I have Batum
Noah
what's the DV video now I save
the
actual cameras so I can play it
back
yeah this is a problem but it's
it's
going yeah their services will
do it and
I understand the storage is
going to be
a problem because oh my god not
you
besides your $200 Lululemon
pants you
also have to carry around some
like a
photo album didn't you have no
backpack
for it like gonna work this is
not gonna
work for these guys maybe hey
exit
strategy I just saw a giant
truck go by
giant truck with a big blue
side that
said Prime yeah yeah Amazon
yeah alright
anyway you know they dairy into
this the
way they're doing it is the way
what
they're into and I think
they're gonna
be sorely disappointed this is
just a
warning yeah I agree which way
it's just
a hey take it from your uncle
Adam and
Uncle John you might want to
have some
memories later on and it's
gonna go away
if you if you trust it to
Instagram just
take a couple make a selection
we need
to have the Millennial vault
calm or
something like this with you
you know
you just send off a couple
pictures we
print and we store them for you
which of
course we don't do because
we're really
an on-demand printing system
you see so
say we're gonna print these for
you and
will keep them safe for you and
then
when you want then you go pick
them up
which 90% will never do then we
oh here
they are we print them off real
quick so
they're all so well preserved
that kept
perfectly well and you know
obviously we
won't lose the
it's another exit strategy mac
and
cheese it's my idea of a perfect
birthday cake that's an actual
commercial same people same
people tell
me we can spot the magic number
in this
African flooding clip that
nobody's
talking about in South Africa
at least
33 people are dead in the
Eastern Sudan
Nepal after floods and
mudslides crash
homes around the city of Durban
some
parts of South Africa received
over nine
inches of rain since Monday
more than
three times the average monthly
total
for all of April rant about
climate
change of course of course now
I do I've
said this before I like
democracy now
for because it will pick up
stories that
the mainstream is just not
gonna touch
the mainstream is unwatchable
in America
bad in America is unwatchable
so I got a
couple here that are kind of I
didn't
know that any of this was going
on but
this is the one that got my
attention
this is the Japanese eugenics
program in
a remarkable move the
Government of
Japan I hate to say this I do
this in
the democracy now for a reason
yeah but
this was actually on PBS all
right here
we go again in a remarkable
move the
Government of Japan has formally
apologized today to an
estimated 25,000
people who were forcibly
sterilized from
1948 to 1996 it was done under a
eugenics law designed to quote
prevent
the birth of poor quality
descendants
many but not all of those
sterilized had
disabilities now the victims
will be
eligible for some compensation
of twenty
eight thousand and six hundred
dollars
apiece how much hundred twenty
eight
hundred
twenty thousand twenty-eight
thousand
okay Wow not worse I thought
that was
kind of interesting nobody's
talking
about that but back to my
thesis about
the way democracy now it does
play
stories that you won't get
elsewhere I
have not heard this story
anywhere which
is this the sealed team leader
busted is
a war criminal the New York
Times is
reporting that Navy SEALs who
witnessed
their platoon chief commit war
crimes in
Iraq were encouraged not to
speak out
and told they could lose their
jobs for
reporting him at a private
meeting with
a superior officer last year
according
to a confidential Navy criminal
investigation obtained by The
Times the
commando said they saw Special
Operations Chief Edward
Gallagher stab
and kill an unarmed teen aged
captive
shoot to death a young girl and
old man
and fire indiscriminately into
crowds of
civilians but what the men on
Gallagher's team called a
private
meeting with their troop
commander and
demanded an investigation they
were told
to stay quiet on the matter and
no
action was taken the group of
seven
seals eventually were able to
force an
investigation and Chief Edward
Gallagher
was arrested in September
unworthy a
dozen charges including
premeditated
murder and attempted murder if
convicted
he could face life in prison
his trial
begins on May 28th wow you're
right no
one talked about that one no
one no one
well I guess that's it's not on
vogue
hey we got an operation going
on coming
up somewhere in Sri Lanka so it
shut up
with all this news I'm gonna
focus focus
peoples and allyce clarify some
stuff I
did one of my typical this is a
fine
outstanding citizen about
Nipsey Hussle
the the rapper slash community
activist
that loved by many who feel it
was
actually not that Nokia it was
the
Staples Center
they feel the Staples Center
for him and
now my point usually is okay
you can
glorify this guy but he also
did fuck
Donald Trump in 2016 with yg and
it was pretty clear it was like
yeah
yeah upstanding citizen but
that's it
was that really necessary I got
a lot of
pushback and I and I understand
people
are fans fans of the music I
really have
no problem with the music I
thought fuck
Donald Trump was a nice
sing-along Diddy
I was just making a point but
as I
looked deeper into Nipsey
Hussle I was
able to push back after several
long
email chains with multiple
people who
are fans have a lot more
understanding
of gang culture than I do
even the yg Nipsey Hussle F
Donald Trump
video was actually in the Crips
and
bloods together in the same
video you
know there he was trying to
move himself
away from from the gangs for
sure but
here's what I heard from a lot
of
different people and they were
very
angry he did all this great
stuff for
his community he bought the
entire strip
mall that that he his clothing
store is
in and he's doing all this
community
stuff and he bought a fat
burger and
he's he's been giving money to
people
and he gave money to the school
and
there's a if there's a vector
90 where
you can rent a desk and
there'll be a
stem Center and he's really
really a
good good guy so let's run
these down
for a second because once I did
this I
figured out why he did the F
Donald
Trump video was very
interesting so
first of all this this marathon
clothing
that is in an area of the hood
I would
say they sell $100 be kneecaps
and $200
t-shirts so I don't know how
great this
is for the hood but you know
that's a
pretty high price he actually
did not
buy the strip mall he is a
member of the
consortium run by a Los Angeles
real
estate developer named Dave
gross Dave
gross and nipsey hussle but
also I think
jay-z is in there deep
Khalid this is a very typical
type of
operation where you get a
couple of
celebrities and you're going to
build
things so they bought the strip
mall
they bought I don't think
nipsey put any
money into it they bought the
strip mall
and guess what they're going to
do
they're going to tear it down
build
residential units with Marathon
as the
anchor tenant for retail I
wonder if
that will be affordable housing
he did
not own the Fatburger he early
early
days he made t-shirts for the
Fatburger
staff to wear this same Dave
Gross
consortium is working on
building the
buying the Viceroy Hotel
changing that
entire concept the school money
was
nipsey again being a frontman
for Puma
who donated the money he's also
just a
frontman for vector 90 which is
as we
know like we work it's
basically a
money-making operation where
you rent a
desk by the hour or a cubicle
by the day
this stem center has still not
opened as
far as I know but this guy
really came
on my radar when I was in the
Netherlands working on my own
crypto
coin ICO scam as Nipsey Hussle
at the
same time was in the
Netherlands and he
was signing up as he says well
yes we're
we've invested in in this
follow coin
and now he was doing exactly
what I was
doing being a figurehead for an
ICO for
a crypto coin cuz what is this
guy he's
he is a frontman for other
people's
projects and then all of a
sudden I
understood the fuck Donald
Trump song is
self-hate he's exactly the same
as Trump
he puts his name on real estate
developments why'd he put his
name on
real estate development yeah
yeah Trump
sells his name already does
stuff and
then there's this conspiracy
theory
about dr. CB who had cured AIDS
and had
different cures for diabetes
and this
guy was killed by Big Pharma
and before
Nipsey Hussle was was shot he
was I'm
gonna do it
because a lot of his
supplements are
really special he was in the
supplement
game sounds the supplement game
you know
like that's the boner pills the
pill man
yes so and I and I hate because
I know
people are fans and they love
him but I
do want to say that he really
wasn't
doing all that much great stuff
for the
community as far as I can find
evidence
of but it was say you doing
great stuff
for the community right but it
was
surprising to me to learn that
oh no
wonder he Trump as a rival to
him man it
was funny that's a long way by
the way
for the shaggy dog stories what
you just
did well I've been sitting on
this a
long route long route to
tipperary
you have to understand the
amount here's
what happened Laura Ingraham did
something similar on her show
two weeks
later and you know they had
people going
after advertisers now we're
pretty
bulletproof since we have no
advertisers
and I had several back in force
where I
learned a lot and thank
goodness the
people who are emailing with me
didn't
just say pop and stop you know
so I
learned a lot about the gang
culture
about you know you don't
anything with
the CK in the word you don't
spell it CK
spelled CC because CK could be
seen as
crypt killer I'm a little a lot
of gang
stuff and I think Nipsey Hussle
was
still involved all I'm saying
is just be
careful who you're worship
that's all
you may now continue hating me
you
should don't forget his atom at
curry
calm right looking forward to
your
feedback looking forward to yes
looking
forward to one of these guys
songs I've
never heard of him uh and I'm
sure that
would be I should maybe be keep
up with
this sort of thing but that's
you can't
keep up with everything so I'm
out of
the loop with this character
and I don't
it just seems odd that there
was he got
so much attention out of the
blue and
there's at least odd to me
then there was an election in
Ukraine a
runoff election and then where
as we
discussed a second ago with the
lack of
coverage in the United States
of this
story about the the seal bad
actor seal
and some other things why isn't
this
getting like just I watched all
the news
stories the other for the last
couple of
days and I didn't see anybody
opening
with this even mentioning it
well the
only networks the only place I
could get
it from take clip which is
again from
one of our vast network of
producers is
from Radio Ukraine international
Volodymyr szalinski a comedian
and
showman has scored a landslide
victory
over incumbent president Petro
poroshenko and by the way for a
comedian
to score a landslide victory
over a guy
named poroshenko the probably
the only
Ukrainian name everyone has
heard of
that's news to me
Volodymyr szalinski a comedian
and
showman has scored a landslide
victory
over incumbent President Petro
poroshenko in Ukraine's runoff
presidential vote Sunday as of
8:00 p.m.
Monday the Central Election
Commission
had processed almost a hundred
percent
of electronic vote count
protocols from
200 constituency Commission's
according
to age more than 73 percent of
voters
supported Volodymyr Solinsky
while
President Petro poroshenko
collected
twenty four point five percent
of the
vote the Commission said the
final
results would be officially
announced on
April 30th I can't wait the
comedian
wins I think it's one of the
most
hilarious things and they news
media
does not want to play this for
what it's
what you just said
this is extremely newsworthy I
read an
article very good article well
some
fairly decent article leasing
them
foreign affairs and they take
credit
this there and this is the the
front for
the Council on Foreign Relations
this magazine uh-huh what mag
what's the
what magazine isn't foreign
affairs oh
yeah are they right you have to
assume
is being flawless yes
so they say what was the linski
secret
to winning they and they
announced it as
a landslide people that's the
other
thing that makes it newsworthy
was a
comedian getting a landslide
victory
they claim it was all just
anti-establishment votes he
says what
was and then it made it even
weirder I
think there were some brexit
some
Facebook ads like brexit that
probably
influenced yes key secret they
asked he
ran for president as a virtual
candidate
a shoeing traditional rallies
political
talk shows and press interviews
in favor
of comedy concerts slick social
media
messaging and carefully curated
appearances on friendly
channels his
most original and effective
campaign
platform was undoubtedly as his
hit TV
series servant of the people in
which he
stars as an accidental
president who
Crusades against corruption
which means
which means we could easily see
Julia
Louie Dreyfus running and
becoming
president yes technically I
don't think
we're as susceptible to this as
some
other places but and we do have
our we
already have our TV guy we do
need
another one we don't want to do
that two
in a row but this guy you know
was the
so he's kind of a trump because
he's
coming from a TV show but this
is like a
mate this is a major major
major event
especially since we're so wound
up in
the Ukraine yes in Ukraine not
thought
Ukraine that you think this
would be
gonna float right to the top now
nobody's just said now let's
don't even
talk about it why well this is
the
indictment of the mainstream
media right
his story's exactly right
there's that
angle and also this doesn't
bring any
candidate election money into
the
coffers so why would we bother
even
looking at the story
I mean Sri Lanka is already
gone it's
already gone and we're back to
bay mayor
Pete of the Hamlet Hamlet
Gotham but
instead of course we get their
stories
about the new words added to the
dictionary oh I missed this
story I
usually guide this usually what
I catch
well I I have a couple of them
new
meanings for old words and I
was I was
surprised by some that I
thought would
have been codified long ago
snowflake
has now been added as someone
we meet by
long ago well snowflake just
cropped up
in the last couple years okay
well how
about tailwind and headwind
these words now are also used
figuratively to refer to a
force of in
for influence that either helps
or
hinders progress I believe the
term
tailwind and headwind has been
using in
that manner for many years in
this
regard I totally agree purple
purple has

it's
very easy to remember because
you can
sing it at Vollrath org kids
love it so
now we have of course we have
the it's
not in the Trump rotation but
going
after Jared Kushner is always a
good
thing oh yes so we have I have
two clips
I have the human rights group or
condemning the Saudis and then
Kushner
gets condemned and then the
second clip
which is the funnier clip which
is
Kushner's in the room but let's
play the
human rights notations human
rights
groups are condemning Saudi
Arabia's
mass execution of 37 person is
accused
of terrorism and espionage
Amnesty
International says eleven of
the men put
to death were convicted of
spying for
Iran after what a called a
grossly
unfair trial amnesty says at
least
fourteen others were convicted
for
participating in anti-government
protests between 2011 and 12
amnesty
says the 14 men were tortured
in order
to have quote confessions
extracted from
them one prisoners body and
bird head were put on display
in a
public crucifixion in response
Mya FOA
director of the British legal
charity
reprieve said quote that the
Saudi
regime believes it has impunity
to carry
out such patently illegal
executions
without notice should shock its
international partners into
action and
her head is gone I don't
understand what
action people are supposed to
take there
they're a sovereign nation well
I didn't
kill people you know their own
citizens
for some reason or other that's
has to
do with their laws well there's
something there's something up
now you
remember I had that clip from
Pompeii Oh
when he was in Dallas yeah I
was talking
about how you know we actually
teach our
agents in the CIA how to lie
and cheat
and steal cheat so he wasn't
just in in
Dallas just to joke a quote
unquote joke
about the CIA he had a
closed-door
meeting with 15 Iranian American
community leaders and this was
closed-door but of course it
leaked out
that the that Pompeo had said
to these
15 Iranian American community
leaders
that the Trump administration
is quote
not going to do a military
exercise
inside Iran which to me means
look out
for some other kind of false
flag I
don't like using the term but
whenever
you say explicitly and let it
leak out
why else would he go to Dallas
to talk
to them and this comes out of
it yeah no
we're not gonna do anything but
with
these new sanctions I do not
like what
is going on
I don't like Pompeo and then
this is the
bolt and so the neocon Bolton's
worst I
mean what is wise Trump are
you've been
allowing this you're asking the
wrong no
he's been me I don't think he
knows he's
possibly doesn't know what the
hell's
going on I mean that's what
they'd ever
e1 claims so maybe it's true
that's true
here the second part of this is
this
again Saudi Arabia anti Saudi
Arabia
material going through democracy
now in New York City senior
White House
adviser and president Trump's
son-in-law
Jared Kushner Tuesday told a
Time
magazine forum he does not
dispute the
CIA's conclusion that Saudi
Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman ordered the
murder
of Washington Post journalist
Jamal
khashoggi but Kushner said it's
more
important to focus on American
foreign
policy interests at a gala
dinner later
in the day honoring Times list
of the
world's 100 most influential
people
comedian Hasan Minhaj called
for the
release of Saudi women's rights
activists Lou Jane how ha flu
who's been
tortured since her arrest for
opposing
the kingdom's male guardianship
system
and a former ban on women
drivers man
Hajj also called out Jared
Kushner
directly over his close
relationship
with Saudi Crown Prince
Mohammed bin
Salman I know there's a lot of
very
powerful people here and it'd
be crazy
if I don't know if there was
just like a
I don't know like if there was
like a
high-ranking official in the
White House
that but what's that mb/s and
and say
hey maybe you could help that
person get
out of prison because they
don't deserve
it
[Applause]
is a good comedy premise how
can you
resist if you're a comedian and
you're
wanting to get this woman out
of prison
right I sit there and do
material there
so that's another thing that I
find
annoying the way I see it
sanctions on
Iran which me we've always been
the
a-holes who determine who can
buy oil
from Iran and so now we're
shutting that
down and of course what happens
the
price of gas goes up how is
this good
it's not good for me it's great
for
Saudi Arabia there's they're
gonna fit I
think Trump even said Oh Saudi
Arabia
can fill up the demand yeah
there's
another screwball clip this one
here is
the not emphasized much but I
think the
least people should be paying
attention
to it is the Afghan civilians
being
killed clip United Nations
reports that
Afghan and international forces
killed
more Afghan civilians in the
first three
months of this year than Taliban
insurgents did that reverses
the trend
of recent years the report says
in all
there were five hundred and
eighty-one
civilian deaths nearly half of
those
blamed on government and NATO
forces
occurred during air strikes
now there you have it I have a
couple of
items of interest I thought
this was a a
very shallow payback for his
endorsement
by the President of the United
States I
don't know it must have gotten
all kinds
of lovely coverage but I didn't
see it
I'm here on the beautiful Golan
Heights
this is a Bibi Netanyahu
standing up on
the Golan Heights I'm here on
the
beautiful Golan Heights and all
Israelis
were deeply moved when
President Trump
made as a stark decision to
recognize
Israel's sovereignty over the
Golan
Heights and therefore after the
Passover
holiday intend to bring to the
government a resolution calling
for a
new community on the Golan
Heights named
after President Donald J Trump
[Music]
reacharound I'm gonna name a
whole
hamlet after you Donald J Trump
Donald J
Trump CJ Trump at judicial
watch a trip
travel from Ville yeah so write
that one
down
Trump Hill yeah sounds good
they liked it and judicial
watch and
never gets a lot of exposure
and just a
bunch of you follow them on
Twitter well
yeah it's a collection of while
they're
lawyers I'm pretty sure they're
right a
collection of pissed-off
right-wing
lawyers there you go Hillary
yes and
here's the latest high judicial
watch
president tom Fitton here with
breaking
news on the Clinton email
scandal if you
want to know why Hillary
Clinton has
skated thus far on our email
misconduct
it's because Barack Obama is
implicated
in the Clinton email scheme the
FBI just
admitted to us that it had to
find
Clinton emails in Barack
Obama's White
House specifically the
executive office
of the president the FBI also
confirmed
it found up to 49,000 Clinton
server
emails on the laptop of
disgraced former
Congressman Anthony Weiner these
disclosures were forced out of
the FBI
as a result of court-ordered
discovery
granted to Judicial Watch into
the
Clinton email issue so that
Bono's guys
what that means is that the
executive
office of the president during
Obama's
presidency was very aware that
they were
emailing Hillary Clinton on her
private
email server yeah because they
would
have done some sort of a blanket
declassification for everything
on her
server in some shapewear shape
or form
to get her off the hook
completely I
don't know why they didn't know
well
because she had deleted
everything
before any before that could
even be a
consideration No maybe yeah
then we have
follow-up on the small that
case he has
not even started healing from
the
initial attack this interview
airing in
late March is cited in a
federal lawsuit
filed in Chicago today on
behalf of
brothers Ola and bola o Sendero
justice
Millette attorney Tina gland
Ian's
appearing on Good Morning
America
discussing the open FBI
investigation
into a hate-filled threat
letter sent to
Smollett at the Fox Studios in
Chicago
the brothers did come forward
and state
that they had nothing to do
with the
letter but it appears that the
police
during a search of their home
did seize
some magazines with I guess
missing
pages and a stamp book there are
consequences for the actions
that Tina
gland Ian and Mark Geragos have
taken
today's suit enables us to make
sure
that those consequences are
decided in a
court of law
not on a cable news network
Geragos and
Landy and fired back today
saying in a
statement quote while we know
this
ridiculous lawsuit will soon be
dismissed because it lacks any
legal
footing we look forward to
exposing the
fraud the oaths and arrow
brothers and
their attorneys have committed
on the
public my city my Police
Department and
my clients all deserve to have
their
reputations restored no no we
shall
see that's a pretty interesting
now
someone's lying somewhere about
something yeah someone here's
the thing
that could use a little
discussion the
Census and the Supreme Court
clip this
thing is back again it's very
interesting the US Supreme
Court heard
arguments Tuesday in a case
challenging
the Trump administration's
plans to
include a question on
citizenship to the
2020 census voting rights
activists fear
the question would deter
immigrants from
participating in the sentence
leading to
a vast undercount
in states with large immigrant
communities this could impact
everything
from the redrawing of
congressional maps
to the allocation of federal
funding
okay here's a couple of things
how many
illegal aliens take the census
seriously
or even contribute to it as is
that the
way it is now do you think if
they put a
citizenship question that that
would
change I don't think they'll
participate
but do they participate now the
the
Democrat left the left in
America
certainly wants them to
participate yes
in the census yeah of course
they do
because they get bigger numbers
right
more interesting more
representatives
exactly okay so now here's the
other
question note noting my initial
premise
yeah the question is why should
we ask
if they're a citizen I think is
it
something you need to know if
you don't
participate by the way is
against the
law not to participate correct
so and
and by the way checking or not
checking
citizen doesn't mean you're here
illegally just know it doesn't
mean that
your green card you can be here
just
another attempt by the
Democrats to you
know stuff the ballot box as it
were and
so you get a looks like it's
like having
a convicted felons in jail vote
I mean
this is
it's a question to be honest
about I
don't find that to be as
offensive
you're kidding me why cause if
someone
isn't affected because somebody
get so
let's say we have a country
where simple
political laws are now all
qualify as as
felony of a felony so everybody
in the
countries of felon for just
about a say
there were shoplifting some
felony
everything's a felony so now
you can't
vote anymore no that's not a
nickel ploy
stop that's not what I'm saying
yeah I
first of all in most states if
you come
out of jail and you've been
convicted
you no longer have your voting
right
that's not what this is about
I feel if you've done your time
full
citizen your back up back on
track you
can vote do any all of that
stuff that's
not what it's about while you're
incarcerated in jail that's
where they
want people to vote they're all
saying
you know that - the desk got
scam
written all over that's Bernie
its
Kamala Harris it's Cory Booker
they're
all saying this well the reason
is
because for one thing if you're
in
prison and 3 million votes
right there
well it solved well it's a lot
of votes
but you can make that you cuz
it's since
you're in prison you got to do
it you're
told you can just have to sit
down for
lunch they pass out the ballots
every
single person who would vote
yes yeah
that would be not right that's
not
voluntary well that's that's
voluntary
so so but I don't know if
you've seen
these town halls but they're
asking
should that should the marathon
the
Boston Marathon bomber be
allowed to
vote in jail Bernie Sanders
said yes
it's not an argument it's
lunacy it's
not an argument there's no
argument to
saying yeah I think we should
have a
conversation about that okay
how about
no well your turn this is
another one at
Bernie's little things and
every time
Bernie comes up with something
like this
this is his only new idea
everybody else
jumps on the bandwagon fearful
that
Bernie's gonna get everybody's
vote cuz
Bernie's the only guy with any
thought
and you know anything with any
good
ideas everybody else is just
punted
Trump they don't care about any
ideas
so it's caught on yeah it's not
going
anywhere
I'm sure not worried about it
I am surprised to see that we
have
reports of measles outbreaks in
the
Netherlands and in Canada did
you hear
about the measles outbreak on
the ship
Navy ship that is unwarranted
now and
has got a measles outbreak but
the
kicker yeah 100% vaccination
rate guy a
beautiful perfect well these
people were
only 93 percent protected
because they
didn't have their booster three
it
should have been her herd
immunity well
that didn't happen either what
I'm
surprised about is that with
all these
ejecting water go on all these
local
outbreaks around the world at
the same
time now I could be I could be
cynical
and say well maybe it's just
the local
advertising companies who are
doing
their business the PR companies
getting
more measles vaccinations out
and into
the people or why isn't the CDC
or some
maybe the United Nations
talking about a
global pandemic because that's
what I
see it's on the cash because
they come
out the data on that one and
it's gonna
be a fail exactly
it's a bullcrap but it looks
good when
you when you chop it up like
that every
country has that little and
they're
pushing it everywhere the same
message
in every country but it's all
over I
think I at Merck they certainly
have
something good going on they
know what
they're doing
yeah I agree so I'm here's my
clip which
is the boy scout scandal which
is again
not getting as much play on the
networks
the court in a growing scandal
engulfing
the Boy Scouts of America it's
been
revealed that nearly eight
thousand
troop leaders have been accused
of
sexual abuse over a span of 72
years
these findings were announced
Tuesday in
Manhattan by Jeff Anderson a
lawyer
representing sexual abuse
victims
according to records known as
the
perversion files Boy Scout
volunteer
leaders abused more than 12,000
victims
between 1944 and 2016 Anderson
named 130
Scout leaders in New York State
who had
been accused of sexual abuse at
Tuesday's news conference
noting that
state law had recently changed
to extend
the statute of limitations for
childhood
sex abuse Wow
Cohen tell let me say a couple
of things
one I was they when I was a kid
I was a
Catholic and I was a boy scout
and the
funny thing was is that you
always heard
when you got to be around at
least by
fourteen you always heard these
little
rumors about one thing or there
like and
it would be about always be
about some
priest yeah and it was a Sabra
knew it
it wasn't like a big shock to
anybody
that some priest was weird
never heard anything ever about
Boy
Scouts being abused by you know
it just
never I just never was in the
it wasn't
there I just never heard of
this this is
all new and it's part of a
scheme to
slam the Boy Scouts for a lot of
different reasons well how
about this
let me finish my co until idea
Girl
Scouts are behind this that's
what I was
just going to say where's the
data on
the Girl Scouts girls know that
but the
girls the problem the girl
starts to
having is they're almost going
broke and
the girls are joining the Boy
Scouts
yeah they like the idea of
camping yeah
yeah they're like cooking and
camping
yes and not tying and that goes
well
with boys about it yeah no
that's
especially since they've gone
back and
changed the statute of
limitations I
want to see what happens seems
a little
ex post facto to me yeah well
apparently
that's possible I don't think so
I think it's bullshit I think if

early
statute of limitations it was
that
important they should have had
