yeah but to get a dime back is no agenda
0:14
[Music]
0:23
where I heard 12 2019 that maybe it's
0:28
just me
0:29
I'm just 12 2019 what so it sounds like
0:37
you said where did I say May 12 2025 8
0:43
12 2019 I didn't say Sunday here's a
0:47
problem I can't even hear myself today
0:50
what huh yeah I've got so many uh so
0:54
many complaints about the feedback from
0:58
my headphones to the microphone which is
1:00
because I can't wear my hearing aids
1:02
with the headphones that doesn't work at
1:05
all just putting the audio directly into
1:10
the hearing aids delivers a an ever so
1:14
slight delay which is too annoying
1:16
because it has to go through bluetooth
1:17
and all kinds of other crap that's
1:20
interesting
1:20
yes it's doable but it's slight and I
1:24
still like the the way like immediate
1:26
and I like the weight of the cans on my
1:28
head you know but I choose between
1:33
keeping it at 11 because I have an you
1:35
know I have a the output of the of the
1:38
mixing system goes into a separate
1:41
headphone amp just to Jack that's not
1:43
enough for my deafness but then I'd have
1:45
to tape the the headphones to my head
1:48
with no masking tape so it could I think
1:51
could leak so I just decided to turn it
1:53
down
1:54
so I don't know what I said honestly
1:56
okay
1:57
yeah but hopefully there'll be less
1:59
feedback and that will annoy people less
2:02
I never heard it what we're just gonna
2:07
keep this going you never heard what the
2:08
feedback cards it's constant it's gotten
2:10
much worse since I've really been using
2:13
the hearing aids a lot and then when I
2:15
take them out and I put the headphones
2:16
on it's like but I don't know what it
2:19
can't hear sure
2:21
yeah but I just a number of people
2:24
noticed that so thank you thank you
2:25
thank you so we'll see how we do yeah
2:31
it's true
2:35
well let's see we start off with it you
2:37
know everybody's family out there yeah
2:43
happy Mother's Day all the moms that's
2:46
right we get a poor response to the
2:48
newsletter and the Mother's Day
2:49
promotion one of our producers sent in a
2:53
note and said it's obvious why this
2:55
happens because unlike you who have no
2:58
moms and think that everyone else hates
2:59
their mom for some reason people are
3:03
sending their money to their moms as
3:04
gifts instead of to the show I think
3:10
it's possible people are doing that
3:12
although I don't know what could be
3:14
better than a shout out on the best
3:16
podcast in the universe for Mom ok
3:18
flowers are nice too but you know this
3:21
will be around in some form long after
3:23
we're all ours die as I'm reliably
3:26
informed so yes so happy Mother's Day we
3:31
do have some people who want to thank
3:32
their mom so we'll be doing that in our
3:34
donation segments but you know one of
3:38
the the highlights of my television year
3:40
yeah then I always look forward to
3:43
watching is the European Song Contest
3:46
the Eurovision Song Contest I should say
3:49
you you talk about this thing because
3:51
I'm always excited about it like the
3:53
songs I like how all these countries
3:55
compete has nothing to do with Europe
3:56
it's the Eurovision so you know Israel
3:58
won last year so this year
4:00
well whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
4:03
whoa whoa whoa it's just not in Europe
4:08
it's the Eurovision we do this every
4:11
year to you
4:13
it's eurovision has nothing to do with
4:15
the EU or europe europe oh okay just
4:18
it's just it's like one-hour cleaners
4:24
take two days yes just the names just a
4:27
name just a name exactly you're a vision
4:30
israel won last year you'll remember was
4:34
kind of a funky they they tend to have
4:35
some funky acts and and they they swept
4:39
everything and so now the contest which
4:42
i think is the final is next week this
4:44
weekend we have a semi-finals all very
4:47
exciting but the palestinians are now
4:51
calling for a boycott of course and
4:54
fight over your hummus all the time and
4:56
now we got to fight over songs in the
4:58
eurovision song contest this this will
5:01
not stand that the palestinians come
5:03
calling for a boycott that that's gonna
5:08
close it close it but there's a lot of
5:12
sympathy with with the palestinian
5:15
plight which i discovered there is no
5:16
country named Palestine yeah yeah yeah
5:20
and once you start looking into it
5:22
that was a good documentary I saw I was
5:24
interested in yeah the two-state
5:26
solution
5:27
you know the two-state solution was that
5:29
was the original idea is set forth by I
5:32
think it was still League of Nations
5:34
that was that was the resolution this is
5:37
me a to stay in place and it never
5:39
played out kind of
5:43
so here we go then we have the artists
5:46
calling for you buy them some uh some I
5:50
mean it like PBS for example some who
5:53
believe they're you're in Europe mm-hmm
5:55
but they never play this this whole
5:58
event in the US at all nobody cares you
6:01
know there is one channel that carries
6:02
it it's and and the thing about the
6:06
Eurovision Song Contest certainly in the
6:09
Netherlands but above all in the United
6:11
Kingdom who I don't think they've won
6:13
since brotherhood of man did kisses for
6:16
me wait which this when I was eight or
6:20
nine they'd have unfortunately passed
6:23
away but Sir Terry Wogan who was a
6:24
famous BBC Radio 2 presenter yeah he
6:28
would do the voice-over and he would
6:30
just sit there probably a little bit
6:33
inebriated if not sloshed drunk and just
6:36
make fun of everybody because the Brits
6:38
always knew that never ever get in the
6:40
final they never win and and so now in
6:44
the emails be worth watching well it was
6:46
and now in the US we have what is the
6:48
name of the channel that Univision no
6:52
it's not Univision it's something you
6:53
have to know it's a it's a real walk I'm
6:58
sure it's on the Pluto TV no it'll be on
7:03
it's something with a T but they get two
7:06
gay guys to sit there and comment on
7:08
everything which is perfect you know
7:10
campy can't be gay guys like what Cooper
7:13
and Anderson Cooper and what's-his-face
7:16
Andy Cohen Andy Cohen always tried to do
7:20
on New Year's Eve on CNN only these guys
7:23
pull it off Court TV
7:26
I think it's logo that's where it is
7:29
logo logo broadcasted Iceland has a wah
7:35
and will like heavy metal kind of grunge
7:38
crazy ass with all the frightening video
7:41
clip it's not your you know your your
7:44
syrup syrupy yeah all you need to do is
7:47
just put Katy Perry on the judges podium
7:50
and then you'll have it may they be
7:52
she'll carry it yeah but see now this is
7:55
the beauty of the Eurovision song
7:56
contest is there's a each country has
7:59
its own professional judges and they
8:01
vote and they're not allowed to vote on
8:02
their own country but then you have the
8:04
the the text vote and you know and you
8:08
see all the politics coming into play
8:09
you know adjacent countries who will
8:12
vote for each other you know if they
8:14
don't like that country then you know
8:15
everyone hates Russia so they don't vote
8:17
for them except for the countries that
8:19
do love Russia so it's just it's a
8:21
wonderful evening
8:22
apparently logo stop doing it damn it
8:28
it's ridiculous I do think it could be
8:31
when you mentioned Terry Wogan just rent
8:34
ragging on it watch that you and I could
8:38
do this actually we could do make it
8:41
Ragan as much as anybody but we could do
8:43
a good job I think it would be fun to
8:45
have you just being like what is this
8:49
[Music]
8:50
country all right well see if anyone is
8:59
carrying it next year should be a big
9:01
event maybe look this is our exit
9:04
strategy let me see if we lay about this
9:11
let me see if we can get a feed that
9:14
everyone will be watching a eagle feed a
9:16
legal feed and then and then we'll just
9:18
pop on our stream and and we'll just
9:20
provide commentary you can sit on the
9:22
couch while you do it now we got to do
9:25
it on video it has to be video we can't
9:29
can't we just provide it oh now I see
9:31
what you're saying yeah it has to be
9:33
synched with the video but we don't have
9:34
to be on camera
9:40
space science 3000 with the two of our
9:43
shadows in front you know silhouettes of
9:47
our heads and maybe a third head I think
9:50
that's complicating and already
9:52
well-thought-out format just do the
9:54
voice-over you don't need to do anything
9:56
else how did whoa good do it he just
9:58
voiceover he was just in the background
9:59
he was never never I don't have a video
10:01
feed yeah this is good a video feed and
10:03
then you and I will just rag on it
10:05
complicate it later wait a minute wait a
10:07
minute
10:08
I think this is
10:10
I think this is it this weekend that's
10:12
that's the wedding weekend and well so
10:19
either that or we can sit in my studio
10:21
and do it live together
10:24
yeah means a little wedding maybe not
10:26
maybe not all right well I've determined
10:30
there is no news in America oh I got
10:33
plenty of really yeah let me guess
10:37
barber let go something like that yeah
10:41
the news you caught I didn't understand
10:45
it where you know you said when you I'll
10:46
try to try it again
10:48
barber no no I only have one actually
10:51
from that whole thing okay even though I
10:53
promised clips I got nothing I got the
10:55
one that is kind of interesting probably
10:57
this okay I'm gonna flip it would play
11:00
that then it's a go Mart on the cou on
11:03
the Nadler committee oh he calls it a
11:05
coup yeah nice and now this committee
11:08
Majority is on the wrong side of a very
11:13
important historic time we've never had
11:18
the intelligence community the FBI
11:23
people at the top of the DOJ abusing
11:28
their powers to create a case against a
11:33
president where there was none where
11:37
assets were actually used to try to set
11:40
up members of the Trump campaign when
11:44
there was no case to try to create a
11:47
case we ought to be all over that we
11:50
ought to be demanding answers from the
11:52
FISA judge or judges who were either a
11:58
contempt to have fraud committed against
12:02
their courts or or complicit maybe it
12:07
was Peter Struck's buddy that he bragged
12:09
about in his text that was going to be
12:12
the FISA judge that signed warrants
12:16
where there was no probable cause of
12:19
anything
12:21
this was an attempted coup and history
12:24
is bringing that into focus more and
12:28
more clearly yeah this is very dumb idea
12:31
to call this a coup now because it's not
12:34
the definition of a coup involves the
12:37
military even an attempted coup it the
12:39
debt the textbook definition involves
12:41
military I don't think it does oh okay
12:45
do we need to okay let's take a look I
12:53
can of course be wrong because after all
12:55
I'm just a VJ it's a you coach could be
12:58
wrong cuz you're deaf but it literally
13:04
is like that of it okay let's see book
13:05
of knowledge what are we have here cou
13:07
sudden violent an illegal seizure of
13:10
power from government so it needs to be
13:13
sudden violent military mentioned the
13:18
true but it has to have best to be
13:20
violence so there was no cool look up
13:23
soft soft well I think the coup is still
13:28
ongoing if you want to take it in my
13:29
literal sense with the military
13:31
Bloomberg did an interview with the
13:33
general Kelly I have no idea why he
13:37
feels he should be talking at all but
13:39
okay and specially the guy used to be
13:41
chief of staff yeah Bloomberg doing
13:46
people do we have running the mill this
13:48
what happens and you don't have like a
13:49
major war and all it kind of lousy
13:51
players move to the top so just happened
13:55
in World War two where you had all these
13:56
boneheads running everything like that
13:58
the head of the Navy and the second net
14:01
nav second the rest of them are all let
14:04
the ship after ship was being knocked
14:06
out on the East Coast by German u-boats
14:08
oh no no there was an accident it was
14:11
just ridiculous to watch these these
14:13
these incompetence run things until they
14:16
finally got thrown out so they get
14:18
somebody so you'd win the damn thing I
14:19
thought Kelly he was revered within the
14:23
armed services and that couldn't he says
14:26
and he was indeed chief of staff
14:28
severity shouldn't be out yakking away
14:30
about his like about his experiences
14:33
boss was still in office
14:34
well worries seems irresponsible worse I
14:36
think he's propagating a coup by talking
14:39
about what needs to happen with the
14:41
president's family the team we became as
14:43
a White House staff built on what Reince
14:47
Priebus group my predecessor and a great
14:49
guy built on what he was tied to and for
14:52
that 18 months we staffed the president
14:54
very effective was it complicated to
14:55
have the president's family in the
14:57
government at the time they're there
15:00
there were very an influence that has to
15:03
be has to be dealt with this clip due to
15:13
the head right there well and he
15:15
actually says he's going to qualify that
15:18
which I thought awaiting are you're
15:19
gonna backpedal on this but now it has
15:21
to be brick has to be dealt with and
15:24
today if you were I don't mean book I by
15:27
no means I need mrs. Trump first ladies
15:29
a wonderful person like kill them or
15:35
anything you know no he meant kill them
15:38
but Melania is okay she can stay she's
15:40
good yeah you need it firstly I thought
15:45
that was just that was pretty were they
15:47
you got to be dealt with I mean is the
15:50
if Trump could trust these guys like
15:52
Rance Priebus who was the leaker you
15:58
need a great guy according to Kelly
16:00
okay look dive should not be out as I
16:05
said there's no news out
16:07
although i did i did pick up an
16:09
interesting clip from a podcast this is
16:14
oh yeah this is a member sebastian Gorka
16:20
i thought he was gone because i guess
16:24
you got I remember he left the
16:26
administration and was like dangerous
16:29
yeah I'd what was it conflict was that
16:30
why he left there was some conflict it
16:33
was his turn and they were rake them
16:34
over the coals for be and yeah of course
16:36
obviously he's a white supremacist from
16:38
support Nazi quadroon obviously we all
16:41
know there's anyone who hangs out with
16:42
Trump's got to be a Nazi
16:45
I'm so here's a podcast and he had I
16:48
think it's Victoria tune sing quite sure
16:51
what she does and my favorite digenova
16:54
Joe digenova who you know has has all
16:57
this great stuff taken out kind of a
17:01
turn for the best on this show he has
17:03
and wishes I want to say this is funny
17:06
because at least six months ago I had a
17:08
bunch of DeGeneres stuff and a lot of
17:09
it's yeah I didn't like it and I didn't
17:11
like it at the time I'm sure or not now
17:14
I actually cut most of I didn't use a
17:16
lot of it because he's too long-winded
17:19
but he's really great when it comes to
17:22
coming up with crazy ideas that are
17:24
never gonna come to fruition about
17:26
what's gonna happen well this is an
17:28
interesting one because it again it's
17:30
about Papadopoulos and how they were
17:31
trying to set Papadopoulos up and as you
17:35
and I both know having traveled
17:36
internationally there's a limitation on
17:38
how much cash you couldn't take into the
17:41
country or bring into the country which
17:43
ran to ten thousand dollars and that's
17:45
this it's an inlet unless you declare it
17:48
you know that's okay but it's a huge
17:50
pain in the butt to declare it and why
17:52
didn't he more than ten grand in cash to
17:54
travel anyway but they tried to use this
17:57
on Papadopoulos remember this is kind of
18:00
the the dumbest guy who has the the hot
18:03
italian lawyer wife who's stuck with him
18:07
through all of this spice law business
18:09
so i don't know about their relationship
18:11
but they see they seem pretty good
18:13
together and I guess she helped him out
18:15
of a potentially nasty situation you
18:18
have an incredible story Victoria about
18:20
how this man I wish I was Sebastian
18:22
Galka I could just talk like this yeah
18:25
the Charlotte you have yes do tell me
18:37
Sebastian can you ask the question you
18:39
have an incredible story Victoria about
18:42
how this man if you like that bottom and
18:44
he's got a Victoria
18:45
he's got it he's got something going on
18:47
he's got some process and you have an
18:49
incredible story Victoria about how this
18:52
man who was targeted by our intelligence
18:54
communities oh they try to sting right
18:57
what happened to George papadopolis
18:59
after he was put on the Trump campaign
19:02
as a foreign policy adviser unpaid I
19:04
mean it's very informal he only met the
19:06
president one time in a meeting with a
19:07
bunch of people he was vacationing with
19:10
us and fiancee in Greece and this guy
19:12
comes and ties starts knocking at his
19:14
door basically to say hey I really want
19:16
to deal with you you're now very
19:18
important and so well you just come this
19:26
isn't Camille Paglia is no no it's a
19:28
Victoria tunze Oh
19:33
going with milieu just to point it out
19:35
okay this is the milieu of the lesbian
19:38
libertarian oh well let's take a look at
19:42
her Paglia does constantly besides
19:46
having that exact same clipped speech
19:48
she ll ask you know in the middle of
19:52
things
19:55
no wonder Victoria and tun Singh is a
19:59
lawyer and partner with her husband Joe
20:01
digenova
20:04
husband and wife team here I didn't know
20:07
that let me see where she comes from
20:10
so she glia but well but she still could
20:12
be a lesbian yeah could be
20:15
that was your urine that doesn't lesbian
20:17
libertarian mil you mean you might be in
20:21
the middle you but you ought to be a
20:22
lesbian right right right okay well
20:24
let's continue a commentary starts
20:26
knocking at his door basically to say
20:28
hey I really want to deal with you
20:29
you're now very important and so well
20:32
you just come to Israel and talk to me
20:33
about making a deal why can't you talk
20:36
now well no you need to know sir go to
20:37
your spiel the guy takes him to his
20:39
hotel room and there on the bed is ten
20:41
thousand dollars in cash in a suitcase
20:43
ten thousand dollars so I'll make it
20:47
short is very smart and says leave it
20:53
here they left it in Greece with his
20:54
lawyer he flew back to Dulles and the
20:57
second he landed the F
20:59
be i surrounded him and started
21:01
searching everything that he had and in
21:03
fact they already had his baggage from
21:05
the plane he couldn't believe this
21:07
baggage it was a complete setup course
21:10
he didn't have there was no tent there
21:12
was no $10,000 but they knew that he
21:14
hadn't declared it when he entered the
21:15
night so he had to clean it so we're
21:17
gonna map it they said we got him now
21:19
the thumbscrews all squeal and one FBI
21:22
agent said to him this is what happens
21:24
when you work for Donald Trump I believe
21:30
had to be true that's true yeah so that
21:34
was a smart move by the way I'd be like
21:36
ten grand man cheap ass the hookers man
21:44
don't you how this works is inflation to
21:48
write some dumb report so that's the
21:51
only kind of interesting news in the any
21:53
collusion files that I've found what I
21:55
did find rather fun is I have a little
21:58
flashback do you remember Eric Holder do
22:01
we remember who he is who he was you
22:03
nuts of course we do he's the fast and
22:06
furious guy who's got called up for
22:08
contempt of Congress yes he was held in
22:11
contempt that's correct
22:12
Eric Holder was the Attorney General
22:14
held in contempt I think it took a while
22:17
before they actually voted on holding
22:19
him in contempt of Congress make much
22:21
difference because the local DEA at the
22:24
time who has to do if there's gonna be
22:26
any any real legal action he was a
22:30
staunch Obama supporter he wasn't gonna
22:33
go anywhere with it yeah there was a
22:35
couple other things besides the
22:36
gun-running which was known as fast and
22:38
furious there was a arresting
22:40
journalists spying on journalists we
22:44
have such short memories and the m5m
22:46
even shorter doesn't seem to recall that
22:48
but I do have a couple of sound bites
22:51
little kampala if you will of the
22:54
mainstream back when we are talking
22:56
about contempt of Congress of an
22:58
attorney general except this was the
23:01
Obama Attorney General given what we
23:03
know about the Republican Party and the
23:05
way the House of Representatives
23:06
conducts itself when run by Republicans
23:08
and with a Democrat in the White House
23:10
it shouldn't real
23:11
countess news when a House committee
23:12
finds the Democratic Attorney General in
23:15
contempt of Congress every single
23:16
Republican voted to hold the Attorney
23:18
General in contempt over this crazy
23:20
conspiracy theory tell the Republicans
23:23
to stop this witch hunt now she's right
23:26
why go ahead with a contempt vote look
23:28
there are certain internal documents
23:30
that are not Congress's business-y it
23:33
just looks like more of our broken
23:35
politics and vicious fights now out in
23:38
the open a party in the Congress that
23:40
does just about nothing to create jobs
23:41
or to help people without jobs decide
23:43
the best way to do their job is to
23:46
shower the Obama administration with
23:47
subpoenas see if you are a person who
23:49
watches Fox News all day it is possible
23:51
that you have been marinating in this
23:52
conspiracy theory for long enough now
23:54
that this seems feasible stop-and-frisk
23:58
at the highest level grant the Attorney
24:00
General get in the emptiest pockets it
24:02
looks like stop-and-frisk does it let me
24:03
finish with my personal views of the
24:05
stop and frisk thing and I don't mean to
24:07
use this term too much but it's almost
24:08
like a stop and frisk for a lot of
24:10
people this is Republican versus
24:11
Democrat and they say this is just
24:13
theater it amounts to nothing it is a
24:15
distraction it is politics writ large in
24:19
in Washington according to most people
24:21
this is really much more to be filed in
24:23
the category of politics than law this
24:26
is contempt kabuki this is a classic
24:28
case in Washington of where you stand as
24:30
a matter of where you sit when the
24:31
Republicans have the white house they
24:32
love executive privilege
24:34
I like contempt kabuki I like yeah I
24:38
like a contempt kabuki - there was
24:41
something else in there liked it was of
24:44
course my point obviously is people this
24:47
is the same shit just different team
24:50
it's wrestling yeah WWE yeah without the
24:55
without the cool suits and the guy with
24:59
the with the guys you got the Gohmert
25:06
Beto could be one of the Mexican terror
25:08
twins way that's not I'm confusing them
25:11
sure I don't know much about wrestling
25:12
yeah it's exactly the same exactly the
25:16
same stuff now it's just the other
25:18
parties yelling the same Fox News is now
25:20
saying what these guys were saying
25:22
although Fox News man
25:23
something's he's very odd with them they
25:27
are going well they're going off Messner
25:28
style the going off message they're
25:32
going to lose your audience doing this
25:33
by the way is to present a concise it's
25:39
like to watch it shields and Brooks yeah
25:42
yeah I mean shields and Brooks they're
25:44
supposed to be what you know supposed to
25:45
give us two sides of an argument no no
25:47
they're both in total agreement and that
25:48
new who wants to watch them I mean I do
25:50
have an effect I got a good example this
25:53
is a summary of the latest shields
25:55
Brooks and shields summaries on PBS
25:58
subpoenas for the president's son
26:00
subpoenas for the Attorney General what
26:04
do we make of all this well I mean I
26:06
think it's the House Banking Committee
26:09
across the board and and now led by a
26:14
that I just think duty that in Iran in
26:21
Venezuela I mean just but this and for
26:26
the this isn't the system wasn't
26:28
intended for this I mean you know it's a
26:30
complete breakdown of the checks and
26:31
balances system I smells Dvorak's razor
26:33
blade in this this clip that's the way
26:37
it goes no he talks like that
26:38
no don't believe it I have a different
26:43
example of Fox News just I don't know
26:46
this is specifically Tucker Carlson and
26:48
I think he may I don't know he's
26:50
compromised but not not in the way you
26:52
would think he had Andrew yang on now
26:57
Andrew yang is is we're focusing on him
26:59
because we get complaints that we don't
27:02
that no one focuses on we love no money
27:06
I mean I'm surprised he gets as much
27:08
airtime as he does where a guy with no
27:10
money
27:10
well I we love his PowerPoint idea the
27:13
State of the Union on PowerPoint and
27:15
that's that's his slogan for this year
27:17
PowerPoint PowerPoint
27:20
he is the man who on Joe Rogan was
27:23
talking about the universal basic income
27:25
being the way to go and now he has a new
27:27
gambit which he rolled out on Tucker
27:31
Carlson I was well I wasn't surprising
27:34
to hear this from a Democratic primary
27:37
can at
27:38
it was surprising to hear Tucker Carlson
27:40
all in on these this idea I have
27:43
standing in this particular area having
27:46
lived in multiple countries with this
27:48
particular situation and I thought it
27:50
was interesting that Fox again is moving
27:53
away from their their core message I
27:55
don't know if a lot of people in America
27:56
understand what this is really about or
27:58
what it really means but the way it's
28:00
presented is I'm curious at best
28:03
yeah Amazon's the most egregious example
28:05
where they're now soaking up twenty
28:06
billion dollars in business and causing
28:08
30% of American malls and stores to
28:10
close and taxpayers are seeing zero in
28:12
return so if you look at what other
28:14
advanced economies have done they
28:16
figured this out they've said look we
28:18
need to have a mechanism in place so
28:19
that Amazon is gonna pay its fair share
28:21
along with Netflix and Delton these
28:24
other companies that are paying zero in
28:25
taxes so what they've done is they broke
28:27
can you guess
28:27
can you guess government regulate Amazon
28:33
no it's better well in a way yeah
28:35
actually yes in a way I've adopted a
28:37
value-added tax where then stay with it
28:43
tiny slice of every Amazon sale every
28:45
Google search and on and on and it's
28:47
very very hard for companies like Amazon
28:49
to gain their way out of actually gonna
28:50
roll that back per second because he
28:52
literally says here you know Delton
28:56
these other companies that are paying
28:57
zero in taxes what they've done is
28:58
they've adopted a value-added tax where
29:01
then the American people would get a
29:03
tiny slice of every Amazon sale every no
29:06
this is I'm gonna play the whole clip
29:13
but a value-added tax he's saying oh the
29:17
American people will get a piece of that
29:18
yeah after you pay all of it so here's
29:22
this brilliant idea I say I'm gonna pay
29:24
this value-added tax and I'll get 10% of
29:27
it back in services that sounds like a
29:29
great deal
29:30
yeah no yeah but to get a dime back
29:34
Google search and on and on and it's
29:36
very very hard for companies like Amazon
29:37
to game their way out of a value-added
29:39
tax system so why don't we have that
29:43
it's a great question
29:48
just listen to it for a sec we could
29:51
stop it every ten second company is like
29:53
Amazon to game their way out of a
29:55
value-added tax system so so why don't
29:58
we have that it's a great question I
30:00
mean people have been advocating for is
30:03
time and my campaign is advocating and
30:06
championing it right now because we we
30:08
need to wise up to the fact that
30:10
companies like Amazon are very smart and
30:12
moving their earnings through places
30:14
like Ireland where the American taxpayer
30:16
will see none of it whereas the
30:17
value-added tax will make it impossible
30:19
for them to sell to us without paying
30:22
into our society their fair share as if
30:25
they're going to be paying that fair
30:26
share this is so great the way he's
30:28
explaining it and Tucker buys it so why
30:31
are you the only candidate who's
30:33
thinking through what to do about this
30:36
yeah well we already answered that
30:38
question I think it's kind of weird I
30:40
think it's weird again all you have to
30:42
do is look around the world and say
30:43
other countries other advanced economies
30:45
have figured this out we're the only
30:47
advanced economy that does not have a
30:48
value-added tax in place and we need to
30:52
make sure that the American people are
30:53
actually seeing some of the gains from
30:55
the incredible innovation and value that
30:57
companies like Amazon and Salesforce and
31:00
Netflix all of whom paid zero in taxes
31:02
last year are getting away with really
31:05
and they're doing their job which is to
31:07
pay as little in taxes as possible I
31:08
have to do our job which is to make its
31:10
the American people see our fair share
31:12
so does that I mean just argue the other
31:15
side for a second with that increase and
31:19
presumably would increase the cost to
31:20
American consumers of goods right yes
31:22
well in some instances in some cases the
31:25
companies will find cost efficiencies or
31:27
a part of it and that's one reason why
31:29
my campaign wants to take that money
31:32
that we're getting from the value-added
31:33
tax would turn at the American people in
31:35
the form of a dividend because that's
31:37
the most direct way that we can actually
31:39
have the American people benefit the
31:41
fear is that even if we do end up
31:44
increasing the tax rate on some of these
31:46
companies
31:46
people won't benefit from that person
31:51
running for president and I sound a
31:53
great idea to me I appreciate it's a
31:54
great idea there you go
31:56
great idea listen liten mr. Karlson
32:00
about the value-added tax which i lived
32:03
under in the Netherlands and Belgium and
32:06
the United Kingdom the tact the
32:09
value-added tax in the Netherlands when
32:11
I was there I think it's still easier 20
32:12
or 21 percent and you pay for that much
32:16
off the top yeah we thing you buy and
32:19
it's an added tax so it's not building
32:22
yeah get the word added in there that's
32:24
not the thing
32:25
Tucker sir said well in other words more
32:28
taxes yes and and you consumer you pay
32:31
for it and here's the problem with the
32:33
value-added tax if you add that if you
32:36
start down that road it'll be ok
32:39
everybody
32:40
great idea of 5% value-added tax and
32:44
somehow just like the carbon tax and
32:46
canden Avia it'll come back to you
32:48
magically alright so we're paying that
32:50
and you know what happens in two years
32:54
everybody got a shortfall here we need
32:58
to up that value-added tax just a bit
33:00
don't worry it's really the companies
33:02
paying for it don't you worry about it
33:03
it's all good bad ideas 10% times 15 I'm
33:07
amazed honey I'm amazed how he can back
33:10
this there's clearly a right wing
33:13
authorized now me that Tucker doesn't
33:16
travel that much he probably doesn't
33:21
talk about any other countries he really
33:24
made me go down to Cancun and that's
33:26
about it
33:27
listen we grew up watching this guy and
33:29
he was wearing a bow tie so you don't
33:32
travel anywhere if you wear one of those
33:33
not unless you're a professor and you
33:36
know visiting scholar somewhere I'm a
33:38
publisher yes I've read about the same
33:43
level as my you know as Christopher
33:45
Buckley my exit cousin-in-law whatever
33:48
he was mm-hmm that kind of guy who's
33:53
going to want to read the newspaper on
33:56
the on a computer screen yes no way I
34:00
okay I have an AOL address but that's
34:02
all I'm just keeping it at that
34:03
Christopher Buckley douche
34:08
so that is the media landscape it's
34:11
changing rapidly where we have a guy
34:13
like yang promoting this and it's a this
34:16
is I was like a great idea that's again
34:19
it's like soccer now I do want to point
34:23
out I've had down in my notes I want to
34:26
make a prediction do still have a red
34:28
book we haven't looked in the red book
34:29
in a long time I gave up on it because I
34:32
can realize I can't read my own writing
34:33
I think that for people track of these
34:38
so you just predict what you want okay I
34:40
believe that football let's just call it
34:44
instead of soccer football I think is
34:47
going to be extremely big on US
34:52
television but it'll only will be
34:55
women's football there's something about
34:59
this that especially our team the United
35:01
States team who are all cute there's
35:04
something about this that is going
35:06
places that's my prediction I think
35:10
we'll see with joy women when I was in
35:12
Croatia a few years back we were talking
35:16
about this and the grow Asian said well
35:18
yeah we understand that football is very
35:21
popular in the United States but only
35:23
amongst women hmm and women tears only
35:26
women teams men don't play it isn't
35:29
isn't our bus and when they said I'm not
35:31
gonna correct you - no you're absolutely
35:33
right men do not play soccer as we call
35:36
it that's only played by women and
35:39
that's just the way it is in our country
35:41
it's it's for women only now we have a
35:44
good really good team though don't we
35:46
yeah elgu world champs yeah yeah we have
35:49
great women soccer players well I want
35:51
to promote them I think I'm looking at
35:54
the list by the way just to back up a
35:55
little bit look at the list of value
35:57
added text and remembering it starts to
35:59
always starts off like at 5 or 10%
36:00
mm-hmm right now in hunger its 27% jeez
36:05
I thought they harmonized that to EU
36:06
everyone had to have 2000 no they're all
36:08
different
36:09
really Norway is 25% 25% 35% I remember
36:15
back when I had money in an airplane
36:17
it's like yeah I want new avionics they
36:19
said ok well it's gonna be I was like 8
36:21
thousand euros or something like wow
36:23
that's a lot of money but okay whoa oh
36:24
oh but there's 21% of value-added tax
36:27
like what is through on two thousand two
36:31
thousand euros just for that no it make
36:34
it drives you nuts
36:40
I'm looking at these other numbers 25%
36:43
for the far Fargo islands is everybody's
36:45
this is crazy
36:47
have are no agenda logo on the on the
36:50
the team uniform that'd be cool we can
36:55
make it happen I mean this when you're
36:57
traveling people should notice when
36:58
you're traveling you should get your
37:00
receipts where everything you buy this
37:01
over a few bucks yeah you can get your
37:03
get to the airport yep you're
37:04
value-added tax deadline and you get
37:06
your money back
37:07
yeah yes which is not always convenient
37:12
no it's not always convened and the
37:14
people who were sitting there also
37:15
they're mean especially than with the
37:17
people in France I think I bought a pair
37:19
of glasses and France because I broke my
37:21
glasses got a new pair and I want to
37:23
went to retrieve the v80 and they just
37:25
they just mean and rude what you know
37:32
it's crazy okay so now yang is off of my
37:38
list of anyone even worthwhile anytime
37:42
anyone brings up the value-added taxes
37:44
and especially when they throw the
37:46
bullcrap at you like he did which is
37:48
just advanced economies yeah the smart
37:54
ones have it yeah yeah good to remind
37:59
you that you know that v80 also gets
38:01
tacked on to medical costs medical
38:03
procedures well where's the value I like
38:09
this value it really should be just
38:13
called an added taxes the dumb facts so
38:19
here's a thing I picked up for one of
38:22
the networks that just uh I kind of a
38:24
rundown you know read they really do
38:26
want bite into run they think he can win
38:28
yeah and so here's a classic run down a
38:32
bite and run down at what's going on
38:33
with Biden and who's this from which
38:35
outlet you know I forgot to write it
38:38
down but there's a zephyr it's one of
38:41
the Oh an extra part today the one of
38:48
the network's from the minute Joe Biden
38:50
sets foot under the campaign
38:52
trail he is the person to beat the
38:55
question is whether one of these 19
38:58
other candidates emerges as his chief
39:01
adversary or whether his biggest
39:03
obstacle will be Joe Biden himself the
39:06
t-shirt knows a lot about it is mama
39:08
lived in in Long Island for ten years or
39:11
so god rest her soul and although she's
39:16
wait your mom still your mom still alive
39:19
god bless her soul because he is a
39:24
household name
39:25
they put one foot in front of the other
39:27
they keep going
39:29
that's the unbreakable spirit of the
39:32
people of America and also he screams a
39:35
much broader set of policy experiences
39:39
to the table than really any other
39:41
candidate I believe we have so botched
39:44
this policy sohbats the opportunities to
39:48
move on the sandanista government the
39:52
SNL the scandal we need not tell anyone
39:56
is the biggest white-collar ripoff in
39:59
this nation's history judge if I look
40:01
only at what you've said and written as
40:03
used to happen in the past I would have
40:05
to vote no for all the respect that he
40:07
is given as the elder statesman if you
40:10
look back at Joe Biden's previous races
40:13
his 1988 bid flamed out in the middle of
40:17
a plagiarism scandal in 2008 he won
40:21
exactly four percent of the vote in the
40:25
Iowa caucuses there is a lack of message
40:29
discipline
40:35
I remember in the 2008 campaign after
40:40
the Obama team put him on the ticket at
40:43
a fundraiser late in the campaign he
40:46
went so far as to apocalyptically almost
40:50
predict there would be a major
40:52
international crisis this was one of
40:55
those moments tailor-made for a Saturday
40:58
Night Live parody if you take away
41:03
nothing else from what I say here today
41:05
or indeed in this entire campaign
41:06
remember this if Barack Obama is elected
41:10
we will have a crisis yeah I'll give joe
41:16
biden credit for one thing he dragged
41:20
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama into a
41:26
same-sex marriage do you remember that
41:29
no yes it was Obama was going to come
41:33
out and announce the policy on maybe a
41:36
Monday or Tuesday and then on some some
41:38
interview but it was it was a problem
41:42
because you know he was basically the
41:43
guy that done an interview and left us
41:45
with Robin I think from Good Morning
41:47
America Robins matter it was he said ah
41:50
no I think same-sex marriage should
41:52
should be okay he just went all in on it
41:54
which we didn't and this was shocking at
41:56
the time no one had heard of what are
41:57
you could this is from the White House
41:59
and then oh and the Obama and Hillary
42:02
they immediately had to kind of jump on
42:03
and said oh yes yes yes we've changed
42:05
our views on this and that was Joe Biden
42:06
who dragged them into that by basically
42:09
jumping into the announcement which he
42:12
wasn't even supposed to do in the first
42:13
place yeah he does a lot of that yeah I
42:17
consider that bumbling well he plays
42:20
that office bumbling I think he's a lot
42:22
smarter than we might give him credit
42:23
for in that regard well that's the
42:25
possibility but gates the guy who was
42:27
used to be in the CIA and whatever and
42:30
he was in the various staffs of the
42:33
Obama administration who wrote this book
42:37
if you recall pretty much about the
42:41
Obama administration said everything
42:42
Biden did was just um everything he did
42:44
was wrong well the only reason why he's
42:49
being pegged up on top right now is
42:51
because he's got the money yeah when you
42:53
raised $700,000 in one night
42:55
then the news media is like hi Joe how
42:58
you doing
42:59
let's do another interview so you can
43:01
buy some ads it's their money they see
43:04
that as their money who's got the money
43:06
the Biden's grabs our money let's go get
43:08
that money and then they go and you know
43:10
Monday no wait Monday uh yes Monday
43:14
night watch what happens with man are
43:17
you okay dabbe having a lozenge okay
43:21
when Beto is going to reintroduce
43:24
himself I am reading from The Associated
43:27
Press
43:28
O'Rourke plans to step up his national
43:30
media appearances after skipping most of
43:32
that kind of exposure in recent months
43:34
he is scheduled to appear on MSNBC's
43:37
Rachel Maddow show on Monday night and
43:39
ABC's The View the next day
43:42
O'Rourke acknowledges he struggled to
43:44
find his presidential campaign footing
43:46
sounds like he struggled to find a good
43:48
Booker I think in part I was just trying
43:51
to keep up when I first started out he
43:53
said after addressing about 40 people at
43:55
a recent house party in Newton Iowa I
43:57
really feel like I found my rhythm and
43:59
my pace I just feel comfortable I feel
44:01
like this is what I'm supposed to be
44:02
doing it's my calling
44:07
umberto so we'll see and he's lost so
44:12
much momentum in and when you hear him
44:14
he's dumb it's just dumb well he also
44:18
has the tries to sound like Obama with
44:20
that pacing and his waving sounds like
44:23
he's doing it Obama but you know all you
44:26
hear him say is we've got to do you know
44:28
comprehensive this reform that impeach
44:31
the president at least yeah at least
44:33
yang is saying I'm gonna do value I
44:35
detach go to universal basic income he's
44:37
not saying oh we should know he's at
44:39
least he's saying something Elizabeth
44:41
Warren still the favorite amongst the
44:43
graduating class we just got one back
44:45
here
44:47
done with the with four years in
44:49
Arkansas liking what Elizabeth Warren
44:52
has to say feels somewhat cheated scam
44:54
by the system everyone's talking about
44:57
Liz hey you know what we don't care
45:00
about anything just take this debt off
45:02
of my books she's got a real shot with
45:05
that she's got she's got that and but
45:08
the promise she's got something she's
45:10
got stuff like this - she has too much
45:12
she's creating problems for herself with
45:14
wood i play my warren clip a bed comes
45:17
just weeks after Massachusetts Senator
45:20
and 2020 hopeful Elizabeth Warren
45:22
unveiled a plan to break up tech giants
45:24
including Facebook Google and Amazon oh
45:27
yes she has no focus
45:28
this is she's an idiot she has no focus
45:31
she had she has something going with
45:33
these kids who are all of voting age
45:34
they probably won't vote you know these
45:37
were the the beto voters who didn't
45:39
really come out in Texas
45:40
yeah for sure too much work yeah but if
45:46
you've got 30 or $40,000 in in student
45:50
loan debt I think I can go to the poll
45:53
and vote for you is maybe but I got
45:56
Facebook no no I disagree
45:59
these kids are also moving away from
46:01
Facebook they're moving away from social
46:03
media now they had you know they they
46:05
actually have to do they're getting dogs
46:07
my dog won't let me go the idea of
46:13
breaking up the tech Jones besides being
46:15
scatterbrained it's like wait a minute
46:18
these are the guys who got all the money
46:20
and you're gonna you know so you're
46:22
gonna turn on you're gonna bust up
46:24
Amazon's Jeff Bezos owns the Walton in
46:27
post hello hello
46:29
knock-knock you well I'm against I'm
46:32
against all of this I'm against all of
46:34
these the break up ideas because I see
46:36
the internet as a network that anyone
46:38
can access and anyone can use whatever
46:41
you know of freely available protocols
46:44
there are to distribute your information
46:47
now I don't think necessarily Facebook
46:50
and Twitter and Instagram are the
46:52
Internet
46:54
mmm that's what people believe but it's
46:56
not true it's not it's not it's just not
46:59
true so let these guys wallow in their
47:02
own shit it's fine I don't need to use
47:03
them now but anyone who participates in
47:07
this in this breakup conversation is
47:10
giving him too too much credence it
47:11
doesn't know what the internet is it's
47:13
like you're looking at the America
47:15
online version of the Internet that's
47:17
what you're talking Lizabeth warned and
47:19
all these other people yeah they don't
47:22
even know how to turn on a computer well
47:23
I think that's pretty sure they can do
47:25
that I'm pretty sure that's what's going
47:33
on it's that round button there's a lot
47:39
of different things that are problematic
47:41
for for people in government they for
47:44
instance have you been tracking Bitcoin
47:47
no I don't follow Bitcoin a closely well
47:51
going back to the I think November at
47:54
November last year and the prices
47:56
dropped from around 63 hundred dollars
47:58
to down to a low of just above 3000
48:01
right and now which I know and if you
48:04
look today I can look right now but last
48:07
I checked it was over 7,000 and if
48:11
you've ever looked at a at a stock chart
48:13
it looks like the longest bear bear trap
48:17
I've ever seen in my life yeah and
48:19
that's actually down a bit now since 68
48:21
but it was up to what's up as high as
48:24
almost 7400 which is you know higher
48:29
than it was when the drop happened and
48:32
this is causing concern for a lot of
48:34
people as certainly in in government
48:37
this is congressman Sherman and he has a
48:43
he has only one way to go for this I
48:44
look for colleagues to join with me and
48:47
introducing a bill to outlaw
48:51
cryptocurrency owner you know purchases
48:55
by Americans so that we nip this in the
48:58
bud in part because I love
49:02
nip it in the bud hello 10 years there's
49:07
something to this Bitcoin shit we should
49:08
nip that in the bud hey let me write up
49:11
a bill for y'all in part because not a
49:14
awful lot of our international power
49:17
comes from the fact that the dollar is
49:19
the standard unit of International
49:22
Finance and transactions clearing
49:26
through the New York Fed is critical for
49:29
major Oriya oil and other pressures
49:31
gonna interrupt and then I'll don't play
49:32
that's a bit again what he's saying is
49:34
is true although it may sound very very
49:38
unbelievable to most when you transact
49:41
money I think even for to go from let's
49:43
say the Netherlands to Germany I believe
49:48
it still eventually goes through the
49:52
Swift clearing cyst or they may be using
49:54
the full the full European system but
49:56
the Swift American banking system has
49:58
fought very long and hard to make sure
50:00
all money transactions go through our
50:03
system through the fan system all of
50:05
them certainly when we're talking about
50:07
dollar purchases but you know this guy's
50:11
really just laying it out as to why this
50:13
is a problem because of you know what
50:15
interests we have and I think it greatly
50:18
explained a problem to me to me it
50:21
sounds like this is exactly why Bitcoin
50:23
needs to exist of international finance
50:27
and transactions clearing through the
50:30
New York Fed is critical for major Oriya
50:33
oil and other transactions and it is the
50:36
announced purpose of the supporters of
50:38
cryptocurrency to take that power away
50:41
from us to put us in a position where
50:43
the most significant sanctions we have
50:45
on Iran for example would become
50:47
irrelevant so whether it is to
50:50
disempower our foreign policy our tax
50:53
collection enforcement or our law or
50:56
traditional law enforcement the purposes
50:59
of cryptocurrency the advantage it has
51:02
over a sovereign currency is solely to
51:07
aid in the disempowerment of the United
51:11
States and the rule of law
51:13
yeah there you go he's right Bitcoin is
51:16
anti-american
51:17
yeah true I'm all I'm all for it I have
51:21
to say I'm all for it and I think it's
51:24
great we should we deserve a little
51:25
competition on our dollar yeah we're
51:28
gonna get it from the Chinese yeah yeah
51:30
we certainly are well that how are the
51:32
Chinese now do you guys track that over
51:35
deh unplugged they got their their
51:37
increased tax tariffs or as the
51:41
importance of already tracking because
51:42
they lie the Chinese yeah well what are
51:46
they lying about they lie about their
51:48
numbers you don't know what the hell's
51:49
going on with them huh someone sent me
51:52
this you know for all you can say about
51:55
him Trump has been extremely consistent
51:58
throughout the years prior to his
52:01
presidency with the same talking points
52:04
going back to Oprah show in the late 80s
52:06
early 90s the Jiri is addressing a crowd
52:10
in 2011 that did he was he running in
52:14
somewhere around that time he was just
52:15
making noise about Obama wasn't he 2011
52:18
about because running into your 2000
52:21
right but not 2011 he was just making
52:24
make a noise just he's always always
52:27
running he's always promoting his show
52:29
and running yes so here he is addressing
52:31
a crowd specifically about tax in China
52:33
and how to tax China and how to present
52:35
it very very hard to buy anything you
52:48
know the one I said what can you do so
52:54
easy
52:55
[Music]
53:01
[Applause]
53:12
[Music]
53:18
[Applause]
53:21
hmm I guess he chose for the second way
53:24
of doing it they're responding poorly I
53:30
understand the Chinese yeah I don't like
53:34
yeah they don't like to be intimidated
53:36
but you know what I'm reading everywhere
53:37
it is okay fine you know you order this
53:41
stuff and it gets shipped from Vietnam
53:43
they're just they're just kind of using
53:46
Vietnam as a p.o box now well I haven't
53:51
heard this word yes I've I've read it
53:54
everywhere have you gotten anything for
53:55
Vietnam I have also received this is
53:58
what tipped me off to it I used to buy
54:00
art from both China and Vietnam mm-hmm
54:03
and different shops that did all kinds
54:09
of custom and it was just some fabulous
54:11
artists in those areas especially
54:13
Vietnam they got a lot of very artsy if
54:16
you go to visit the country go holy
54:17
mackerel and I noticed the one thing I
54:21
noticed the most was that FedEx and
54:24
whoever else it was had some deal so it
54:28
was pretty much everything coming out of
54:30
China was free shipping or it was a
54:33
dollar mm-hmm and I was always befuddled
54:37
by this because it made out it the same
54:38
products out of Vietnam would cost like
54:41
$30 in shipping minimum and it would
54:45
seem to me that what how does China
54:47
doing this deal with FedEx or whoever it
54:50
was UPS of all of them they're all given
54:52
China this huge deal or the Chinese were
54:54
eating the price I don't know what was
54:55
going on but I thought it was there's
54:57
some moment of corruption but we ordered
54:59
sort when we moved in we ordered a chair
55:04
from West Elm the company West Elm and
55:07
we've ordered from them before and as
55:09
with pretty much all furniture it comes
55:12
from China but this time because we've
55:16
ordered from them in the past this time
55:17
it showed up huge box large print made
55:20
in Vietnam don't think it's trying to
55:22
made in Vietnam no it doesn't say made
55:25
in China on the chair itself but I'm I'm
55:28
pretty contend then I started looking
55:29
into it I'm seeing they're either doing
55:32
subsidiary deals with factories but
55:34
basically using Vietnam as a p.o box no
55:37
I don't think so I think it was made in
55:39
Vietnam okay could be I'm just saying we
55:43
used to get from the same company who'll
55:45
be shipped from Shenzhen the Chinese
55:47
have been notorious for like moving
55:50
their manuals funny
55:51
the Taiwanese move their manufacturing
55:53
to China the China gets Chinese got
55:55
swamped in this but no in fact that
55:57
they've been outsourcing Chinese China
56:00
has been outsourced to the Vietnam and
56:01
India okay well that makes sense then
56:03
and so that I would say I would say this
56:05
the product will be better probably will
56:10
yeah they know what they're doing over
56:11
there are outstanding quality yes it's a
56:16
very interesting country they like 98
56:19
their literacy rate in Vietnam is higher
56:21
than we have it's like 98.5 percent of
56:24
the country's literate huh it's a very
56:27
interesting place ok onward yeah I don't
56:36
know if that's doing anything but it's
56:37
like a party I don't know what we're
56:38
getting about China what we're gonna do
56:41
is what we've been doing is cut them off
56:44
at the pass through at them everywhere
56:46
we can and messes mess up countries
56:49
where they want to have a foothold for
56:51
their belt and Road strategy and screw
56:53
Venezuela in the process you're just
56:59
brings me to Venezuela I'm sorry I have
57:01
a China bone where they go with
57:03
Venezuela yes I do I have three things
57:07

57:52
and weirdness at the Venezuelan embassy
57:55
Democracy Now in Washington DC
57:57
authorities cut off water and
57:58
electricity to Venezuela's embassy is
58:01
activists with code pink and other
58:02
organizations continue around-the-clock
58:05
occupation in order to prevent a
58:07
takeover of the building by Venezuela's
58:09
US backed opposition the activists
58:12
entered the embassy in late April at the
58:14
invitation of Venezuela's government
58:15
opposition groups led by Juan Guido and
58:18
backed by the Trump administration of
58:20
pledged to take over the building so far
58:22
police and Secret Service agents have
58:24
arrested nine activists including Jerry
58:26
condone a 72 year old Vietnam War
58:29
veteran and the president of veterans
58:31
for peace who was violently tackled and
58:33
pressed to the pavement Wednesday by
58:34
five officers after he tried to bring
58:37
food to protesters occupying the embassy
58:40
now known was left bleeding from the
58:42
head and needed medical treatment he's
58:44
been charged with throwing a missile
58:45
resisting arrest and assaulting police
58:48
officers as he attempted to get food
58:50
inside the building hmm did not report
58:54
in a mainstream it does well of course
58:55
not I just this just in from one of our
58:58
lawyers within the value for value
58:59
network I have been advised and I can
59:03
confirm that this isn't he's the real
59:04
deal I've been advised by clients who
59:06
buy from China as follows
59:08
the manufacturers are moving to Vietnam
59:11
from China but the p.o box scam is being
59:14
perpetrated in Malaysia so that's how
59:18
they're rolling ok Malaysia so look for
59:21
some problems in Malaysia what can we
59:22
look and we stir up in Malaysia because
59:25
that's what it seems to be we just want
59:27
to thwart the Chinese this is
59:29
Undersecretary of State
59:31
Tom Shannon on NPR and this first clip
59:36
is about the failed coup I'm sorry
59:39
flipping in Venezuela how do the tools
59:42
available to the United States tools
59:44
compared to the vulnerabilities up to
59:47
this point the tools have not been
59:49
sufficient really beginning on January
59:51
23rd when Juan Guido declared the
59:53
presidency vacant and declared himself
59:56
the president under the Constitution the
59:58
hope at the time was that that would be
1:00:00
sufficient to flip the military it did
1:00:02
not work then the opposition working
1:00:05
with the United States and other
1:00:06
countries decided that focusing on
1:00:08
humanitarian assistance and creating a
1:00:11
confrontation at the border between
1:00:12
Colombia and Venezuela over at the
1:00:15
delivery of humanitarian assistance
1:00:16
would create a rebellion within the
1:00:18
armed forces that did not work then the
1:00:21
administration decided that sanctioning
1:00:24
the state-run oil company pet of essa
1:00:26
and effectively sending a clear signal
1:00:28
to the Armed Forces that revenues would
1:00:31
be cut off and their access to the
1:00:33
Venezuelan gravy train would end would
1:00:36
convince the military to flip that did
1:00:39
not work there's also been an effort to
1:00:41
focus on individual members or former
1:00:43
members of the military some of them
1:00:44
have been sanctioned and just the other
1:00:46
day vice president pence said the US
1:00:48
would aim to lift sanctions on an
1:00:50
individual former intelligence chief I
1:00:52
believe who switched sides is that
1:00:55
working at all well we'll have to wait
1:00:56
and see the purpose obviously is to send
1:00:59
the signal that those members of the
1:01:01
Armed Forces that choose to work with
1:01:03
the opposition if they are under
1:01:05
sanctions will have those sanctions
1:01:07
lifted and those who might be facing
1:01:09
sanctions would not face them if they
1:01:12
chose to work with the opposition we're
1:01:14
gonna have to wait and see how that's
1:01:15
received what's just amazes me is to
1:01:18
listen to this guy cavalierly speak with
1:01:21
an NPR host who easily could have been
1:01:23
lamenting the Russians meddling in our
1:01:27
elections listen to this what tools do
1:01:31
you have well this tool didn't work and
1:01:33
that tool didn't work what are you doing
1:01:35
well I'm going to Jack Venezuela
1:01:37
obviously Oh Papa Russia and China
1:01:39
the Russians have provided significant
1:01:41
sales of weapons to the Venezuelan
1:01:43
government
1:01:44
along with purchasing large quantities
1:01:47
of oil and gas and inserting themselves
1:01:48
into Venezuela's oil and gas industry
1:01:51
and then the Chinese of course also have
1:01:53
deep interests in the oil and gas sector
1:01:55
is there any way to pry those foreign
1:01:58
actors away from the Venezuelan
1:02:00
government Maduro government NPR your
1:02:04
National Public Radio is participating
1:02:07
in this radical yeah we're strategizing
1:02:10
how we can fuck the Chinese we're gonna
1:02:13
have to wait and see I personally
1:02:16
believe that calling these governments
1:02:17
out especially the Chinese and the
1:02:19
Russians was not intelligent the Chinese
1:02:22
in particular have been looking to play
1:02:23
a very low key role in this political
1:02:26
dispute and are more interested in their
1:02:28
long-term energy interests and therefore
1:02:30
it's important for the United States to
1:02:33
make very clear to the Chinese that the
1:02:34
long-term future of their relationships
1:02:36
in South America are going to depend on
1:02:38
China's willingness to help Venezuela
1:02:41
find a political accommodation that gets
1:02:43
it through this period of crisis do you
1:02:44
mean to say it would have been more
1:02:45
intelligent to quietly approach the
1:02:47
Chinese and reassure them that their
1:02:49
energy interests will be maintained no
1:02:51
matter who is running Venezuela yes but
1:02:54
also to make clear that countries who
1:02:57
have China as a number one trading
1:02:58
partner like Brazil like Argentina like
1:03:01
Chile like Peru want to maintain that
1:03:03
relationship but in order to do so that
1:03:06
the Chinese need to understand that by
1:03:08
financing the Maduro government they are
1:03:10
actually creating problems inside of
1:03:12
South America especially the outflow of
1:03:15
refugees from Venezuela that are
1:03:17
seriously affecting the stability of
1:03:18
countries like Colombia Peru Ecuador
1:03:21
Chile and Brazil yeah
1:03:23
there you go that's that's what we're
1:03:26
doing that's that's your you don't need
1:03:27
to know anything else we are all over it
1:03:29
who is that guy
1:03:31
that is the Undersecretary of state Tom
1:03:34
Shannon Shannon's speaker too much me
1:03:37
thinketh this is way out there in a
1:03:40
problem getting some other tooth that
1:03:45
was yeah I agree with you what is this
1:03:47
what is the point of this well it's not
1:03:50
like deep disinformation or some sort of
1:03:53
just giving a briefing leading or
1:03:55
anything you go on NPR just explain
1:03:58
the strategies and this makes no sues
1:04:00
heat bad that must be the way the State
1:04:03
Department of State is being run these
1:04:05
days
1:04:05
now the techno experts that we've
1:04:08
discussed who have targeted us when we
1:04:10
talk about Venezuela we're not doing it
1:04:12
right
1:04:13
I'm not talking about him right I'm
1:04:16
starting to see some patterns here as
1:04:20
there's some young Venezuelan kids and I
1:04:24
say kids in the 22 24 25 year old range
1:04:28
who put together a video specifically
1:04:32
meant for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who
1:04:36
as we know is all in on maduro's regime
1:04:40
and the and the socialist country of
1:04:43
Venezuela at least that's the way it's
1:04:45
portrayed in the in the m5m and and then
1:04:49
this video appears I'm gonna play a
1:04:51
little bit of at first you get the idea
1:04:53
let me tell you something Alexandra
1:04:55
Alexandra Castillo Cortez I want to tell
1:04:58
you something else Olivo no funciona el
1:05:01
socialist mundo funciona my name is Jose
1:05:05
I'm 21 years old I am sommore Machado
1:05:07
from 22 years old I fled real socialism
1:05:10
me and my family
1:05:12
real socialism Alexandria Casa Cortez
1:05:15
like Chicago Cortez you're a liar you
1:05:17
are a liar you don't know what you're
1:05:19
talking about you're clueless
1:05:20
you have never gone through socialism so
1:05:22
you preach it like you do America will
1:05:25
never be a socialist country American
1:05:28
will never be a socialist country a lot
1:05:31
of people think socialism it's all about
1:05:33
equality and free stuff what socialism
1:05:36
is really about it's a starvation people
1:05:39
dying from lack of medicine Alexandre de
1:05:41
pasto Cortez now just notice that the
1:05:44
lack of medicine all the talking points
1:05:46
are who produces no this is why I was
1:05:52
interested in sharing this it goes on
1:05:54
for about three minutes 30 more seconds
1:05:58
to hear some of the other points you've
1:06:00
heard in this type of campaign it's
1:06:02
really about it's a starvation people
1:06:04
dying from lack of medicine Alexandre
1:06:06
DeFazio Cortez I want to tell you
1:06:08
something if you really believe in
1:06:10
socialism why are you here in the u.s.
1:06:12
why don't you move to Venezuela Cuba
1:06:14
Russia Afghanistan China
1:06:17
why don't you just go there no you talk
1:06:20
about socialism as it is something so
1:06:23
perfect but you know it's not well no
1:06:25
actually you really truly believe that
1:06:27
that he works like that but it doesn't
1:06:28
just go and look in the actual facts and
1:06:31
my just booze isn't it good to have your
1:06:34
life going every day to Starbucks
1:06:36
tweeting how much I hate capitalism from
1:06:39
your MacBook that's great right okay so
1:06:41
when I hear these things you know like
1:06:43
isn't it great drinking your Starbucks
1:06:46
and tweeting how much you hate
1:06:48
capitalism on your MacBook I'm like okay
1:06:51
these are talking points have heard them
1:06:52
before and they sound a lot with that
1:06:55
medicine thing and Maduro sounds a lot
1:06:58
like the emails we received this is
1:07:00
produced and distributed by
1:07:03
turning-point us a home of Candace Owens
1:07:07
and Charlie Kirk these are the
1:07:10
propagandists and now I'm starting to
1:07:12
think maybe it was their their outfit
1:07:15
that sent us emails who would know about
1:07:16
podcasts who would stay on top of that I
1:07:19
was giving the US State Department too
1:07:21
much credit I think so these may be the
1:07:24
actors and how does this fit in with
1:07:27
what I thought Turning Point USA was I
1:07:29
don't know I never heard of them well
1:07:32
you know Candice Owens oh yeah yeah you
1:07:36
know she's with the blex it that I like
1:07:39
Kansas Owens I'd like the list I'd like
1:07:41
what she does I'd like what she does for
1:07:42
Prager University but what is this what
1:07:46
is these these guys are - Turning Point
1:07:48
USA this is this is propagandistic crap
1:07:53
and I can't take them very seriously
1:07:55
after hearing this but well what do we
1:07:58
know about this bitch it's just like
1:08:00
that those horrible Democrat the
1:08:04
celebrity ones where the celebrities bad
1:08:06
yeah yeah I think we have to change the
1:08:10
color of blue to green black and white
1:08:14
stuff like that just black and white -
1:08:16
probably well I'm gonna look into look a
1:08:18
little deeper into turning-point and see
1:08:20
if there I know Charlie Kirk is and I
1:08:23
thought he's just
1:08:25
I thought they were kind of a good
1:08:27
outfit but this just uh can you just
1:08:30
promise our crap
1:08:31
yes yes very sour and with that I would
1:08:35
like to thank you for your courage to
1:08:37
say in the morning to you the man who
1:08:38
put the C and chai comm Johnson in the
1:08:48
morning to our troll room all trolls
1:08:50
always welcome 24 hours a day seven days
1:08:53
a week no agenda stream comms where you
1:08:55
can listen to the live stream and it is
1:08:57
often actually live interactions live
1:08:59
like it is on Thursdays and Sundays when
1:09:01
we're on the microphone you can get in
1:09:04
there you can do all kinds of stuff you
1:09:05
control we can troll some more and then
1:09:08
just troll or you could also be helpful
1:09:10
sometimes that does happen know what you
1:09:13
okay much anybody want to be helpful
1:09:15
oh no that would be a bad idea and in
1:09:18
the morning to see I believe it was yes
1:09:23
Darren O'Neill who brought us the
1:09:25
artwork for episode 11 36 1136 episodes
1:09:30
that episode was titled spy slut which
1:09:33
is a CIA term we learned on the show and
1:09:36
Darren O'Neill oh yes he brought us the
1:09:41
a fine example of what you don't like at
1:09:45
a Whole Foods checkout line someone with
1:09:48
face tattoos blown out ear earlobes and
1:09:54
I think in this case both Darren and I
1:09:59
and girl Darren and we kind of went for
1:10:02
the the cheapest laugh I guess is that
1:10:05
what we would classify this is well now
1:10:08
that you mention it nose ring mustache
1:10:16
when you saw in this this piece of art
1:10:18
now this art okay there was a bunch of
1:10:22
stuff that was actually it was all
1:10:25
borderline I mean the the kind of the
1:10:28
funniest sickest one was the black royal
1:10:32
extreme cave bear extremely racist
1:10:36
racist yes racist piece
1:10:40
I like the mental health one the most
1:10:42
but it was like more of an evergreen
1:10:44
didn't really have much to do with
1:10:45
anything the cat with the with the phone
1:10:51
is funny but not pertinent to the show
1:10:55
the thing was it we actually looked over
1:10:58
these though it was pertinent to the
1:10:59
show was the mustachioed character yeah
1:11:05
so that's why that's really the reason
1:11:06
we picked it and so what else made it an
1:11:11
email comment to us that the artwork is
1:11:14
really just part of a package of three
1:11:16
elements of promotion and I want to
1:11:19
bring that up because it does work in
1:11:20
concert we have the album art we have
1:11:24
the show title and we have the opening
1:11:26
blurb at the beginning of the show and
1:11:29
each one of those three elements is
1:11:32
important in promoting each new a new
1:11:35
episode personally I think it's like
1:11:37
Titleist yes band and we have made a
1:11:40
rule just not yes your rule is your rule
1:11:45
you can't cross over yeah you can't have
1:11:48
the the artwork be the same or have the
1:11:51
same topic as the title and the opening
1:11:55
giblet can't be related to the other two
1:11:57
either I don't know why we came up with
1:11:59
it why was you it this is place but I
1:12:02
like it makes us em well once it became
1:12:06
established mm-hmm because at some point
1:12:08
I think we did have a couple of contrary
1:12:10
well that's called issus what the
1:12:11
artworks
1:12:12
is doing once it became established we
1:12:16
just kind of said okay well this is what
1:12:18
we're gonna do we could do it it's not
1:12:19
like it's impossible no people really
1:12:22
want to hear that conversation I should
1:12:24
record it when we're discussing artwork
1:12:26
and titles
1:12:28
well let's record it you just recorded
1:12:30
it no I mean the actual process oh maybe
1:12:35
one of the things we've noticed with the
1:12:36
artwork since we're discussing it as
1:12:39
people try to guess
1:12:40
oh yeah the topic that we will be
1:12:42
interested in as art yes yeah and so if
1:12:45
the art so if we never mention it and we
1:12:48
get to the artwork say oh this guy just
1:12:50
did we didn't talk about is it a there
1:12:52
was a disappoint
1:12:53
sometimes it's like as superior piece of
1:12:56
art we said wow what a great piece of
1:12:57
art is too bad we didn't talk about this
1:13:02
that does indeed have like wait a bit we
1:13:05
missed the topic yeah a bit predict you
1:13:08
what we're gonna talk about and Pete
1:13:10
Budaj edge being called Alfred E Newman
1:13:12
by President Trump is not on my list
1:13:14
isn't that something we were ever gonna
1:13:16
talk about this show no I don't think so
1:13:20
I will say that the art that was done
1:13:22
here that makes him look like Alfred E
1:13:24
Newman is out cell done yes they will
1:13:29
probably go for a mom thing I think
1:13:30
that's pretty always good mom is always
1:13:34
safe safe bet right so let's get to our
1:13:37
donations yes this is our value for
1:13:39
value system that you listen you
1:13:41
determine if you got any value my value
1:13:43
out of the show if so kick it back in so
1:13:48
far as you thinking of value and add
1:13:50
Mother's Day show we have one executive
1:13:55
producer and one associate executive
1:13:57

home planet suffers from Zika like
1:14:24
genetic deformity where most citizens
1:14:27
are born with teeny tiny little heads

like to do it just like Hollywood give
1:19:15
those credits upfront and early but we
1:19:16
will be thanking everybody $50 in the
1:19:19
buff later on and please remember that
1:19:20
we're here as a service all you have to
1:19:22
do is keep us going go to to Vollrath
1:19:24
org
1:19:26
and a and you two can continue the
1:19:29
deconstruction like who else knows
1:19:31
what's going on in Venezuela the heart
1:19:32
formula is this we go out we're here
1:19:36
people in the mouth
1:19:44
[Music]
1:19:51
European Parliament elections are coming
1:19:53
up and it's very odd because due to the
1:19:57
lag of blog of brexit the the European
1:20:01
parties are in and and they they can
1:20:05
vote on European representation since
1:20:07
the breakfast is brexit breakfast since
1:20:10
breakfast the breakfast it's not yet
1:20:12
done the European Union and just
1:20:15
explaining this is is kind of
1:20:17
complicated and but I think it's
1:20:18
interesting to do it without the visuals
1:20:20
because the European Union had a little
1:20:22
cartoon to explain exactly how it works
1:20:25
that do you know how these European
1:20:28
Parliament elections work I be remiss if
1:20:32
I said I absolutely knew but I don't
1:20:34
well I find it to be rather confusing
1:20:36
I'm sure somehow Faraj gets in is all
1:20:39
the end of the day Faraj is in this
1:20:43
year's European elections it's a big
1:20:46
deal I love this kind of Eurocentric
1:20:49
British accent it's very different from
1:20:52
from what you hear in the United in a
1:20:54
real British accent yeah it is it's it's
1:20:56
just it's very duros country Appa SH
1:20:59
yeah they got a whole room for these
1:21:00
people in Brussels who do nothing for
1:21:02
these voiceovers but it's not simple not
1:21:05
to help you get your head around them we
1:21:07
put together this handy explainer
1:21:10
confusingly different parts of the EU
1:21:12
use different voting systems but all are
1:21:16
some form of proportional representation
1:21:18
some vote for parties who have selected
1:21:21
a fixed list of candidates to appear on
1:21:23
the ballot paper other countries have
1:21:25
more open lists where voters choose a
1:21:27
party or indicate who is their favorite
1:21:29
candidate here electors choose as many
1:21:33
candidates as they like and number them
1:21:35
by preference turnout at EU elections
1:21:38
has dropped from 62% to 42% over the
1:21:42
last four decades because you made it so
1:21:44
easy that's why that's despite a handful
1:21:46
of countries including Belgium Greece
1:21:47
and Bulgaria where voting is compulsory
1:21:52
Emme peas are elected to represent
1:21:54
geographical areas regions in some
1:21:56
countries like Italy while in others
1:21:58
such as Germany they have the whole
1:22:00
country as their constituency the number
1:22:03
each country gets it is proportional to
1:22:05
its population now this is kind of
1:22:07
interesting when you hear the difference
1:22:08
it's a base it's pretty much the way our
1:22:11
House of Representatives works except
1:22:13
they don't have the a the concept of a
1:22:15
Senate with some equal power so here
1:22:17
it's just whoever is the biggest rules
1:22:19
Germany the most populous will get 96
1:22:22
MEP s for its eighty 2.8 million people
1:22:25
while tiny Malta with four hundred and
1:22:27
seventy five thousand people has just
1:22:29
six they will serve a five-year term
1:22:32
2019 to 2024 and spend their time
1:22:35
between European Parliament in
1:22:37
Strasbourg and Brussels they pass EU
1:22:40
laws and approve its budget along with
1:22:42
the European Council MEP s while
1:22:45
representing countries or regions sit in
1:22:48
transnational groups in the parliament
1:22:50
of according to political ideology for
1:22:52
example there are groupings to represent
1:22:54
the center-right socialists greens and
1:22:56
others for Euroskeptics MEP s also help
1:23:00
choose the president of the European
1:23:02
Commission the largest political
1:23:04
grouping after May's election has the
1:23:06
strongest mandate to have its choice
1:23:08
head up the Commission the European
1:23:10
Council comprising Chiefs of EU
1:23:12
countries first votes on a nominee
1:23:14
chosen after taking into account the
1:23:17
election result if they approve the
1:23:19
candidate it goes to the European
1:23:21
Parliament where he or she must get the
1:23:23
support of a majority of MEP s this is
1:23:29
so convoluted your eyes glaze over man I
1:23:40
did I don't understand especially with
1:23:42
that background music hands is that
1:23:44
meant to make me feel calm while trying
1:23:46
to comprehend so everyone has a
1:23:48
different system everyone does it
1:23:50
differently then you throw a whole bunch
1:23:51
of people out there and then they all
1:23:53
those people then go and determine who
1:23:55
they add which could be a totally Rando
1:23:57
they could bring in to be the president
1:23:59
of the European Parliament and then they
1:24:03
get that
1:24:04
well good luck every every country and
1:24:08
every union gets the government
1:24:09
government she deserves and you're
1:24:11
getting all but really the government
1:24:15
know it's a scam so as I'm looking
1:24:18
around since there's no news in America
1:24:19
at least I didn't feel anything really
1:24:21
that newsworthy I wound up watching
1:24:23
euronews and euronews had a number of
1:24:28
stories about Samos the island of Samos
1:24:31
which is a Greek island but it's an it's
1:24:34
it's an odd one because it is almost
1:24:36
it's so far off the coast of Greece is
1:24:38
actually very close to Turkey and you
1:24:42
know you could hop a hop a little boat
1:24:46
to get from the coast of Turkey to this
1:24:49
Greek island and what has happened is
1:24:51
Samos has been used as a parking place
1:24:55
for migrants who want to come into
1:24:58
Europe and are just being held there
1:25:01
because the European Union is like yeah
1:25:03
you know we've got enough people and
1:25:06
remember they kind of closed some
1:25:08
borders here and there and whatever you
1:25:10
don't look at Greece you know Greece is
1:25:11
where doesn't count because you know
1:25:13
they think I know from the money we
1:25:15
don't care about them Greece is pretty
1:25:17
much the dumping site of the EU and they
1:25:21
had well under play the the first piece
1:25:26
here about yeah about what's happening
1:25:32
in the numbers of what's taking place
1:25:33
and then there was a 20-minute piece
1:25:36
which I pulled one little specific piece
1:25:38
out of here's that here's the basic
1:25:39
story of Samos talking to a person who
1:25:42
set up a community center for these
1:25:44
thousands of refugees living in a tent
1:25:47
city with no sanitation no garbage
1:25:52
disposal no sanitation and no toilets
1:25:55
zero zero toilets situation hasn't
1:25:59
improved
1:26:00
in any way right now there's over 3,300
1:26:05
people on Samos the capacity of the
1:26:07
country 650 the delays on the asylum
1:26:11
procedures are extremely long we've seen
1:26:14
recently people getting interview dates
1:26:17
for 2022 even someone for 2023 for their
1:26:21
appeal which is so they're sitting in
1:26:24
these UN UNICEF actually it says on the
1:26:27
side UNICEF tents any dope no toys no no
1:26:32
the people just pooping on the perimeter
1:26:35
and any of the next farmlands and and
1:26:39
all kinds of stuff like this and these
1:26:41
people say I've been here for eight
1:26:42
months I can't live here for another
1:26:44
year and a half before I get my sight my
1:26:46
asylum hearing so I'm going to go crazy
1:26:49
and of course there's all kinds of crime
1:26:51
now taking place having people waiting
1:26:56
for such a long period of time without
1:26:59
any clear information well knowing
1:27:01
what's going to happen with them without
1:27:03
having a proper process where they can
1:27:09
integration process in place or having a
1:27:12
possibility to work and provide for
1:27:13
themselves it really affects people
1:27:16
especially their mental health
1:27:19
this causes a lot of distress it doesn't
1:27:23
look that things are going to change
1:27:24
anytime soon because the system in
1:27:26
places is broken right now well if we
1:27:30
look at the you turkey deal it has never
1:27:32
properly worked this is the eu-turkey
1:27:35
deal where if someone came into the EU
1:27:40
could not rightfully claim asylum the EU
1:27:44
paid several billion euros to Turkey to
1:27:47
take them back we remember I remember we
1:27:49
covered this well I just send them back
1:27:51
no problem well that's not working out
1:27:53
because they're not being sent back
1:27:54
they're not being accepted even though
1:27:56
you could almost toss them over over off
1:27:58
the island they could swim back to
1:28:00
church well if we look at the you turkey
1:28:03
deal it has never properly worked people
1:28:07
were supposed to their cases are
1:28:08
supposed to be treated very quickly and
1:28:10
like the hot spots are supposed to be
1:28:13
like triage point where people are that
1:28:18
are supposed to get asylum they they are
1:28:21
allowed to stay and those that are
1:28:22
rejected are asylum they would get
1:28:25
quickly returned to Turkey war to their
1:28:29
home country right now what what what's
1:28:32
happening it's people are are just
1:28:35
waiting for months or years for their
1:28:38
asylum procedure to be completed and
1:28:41
without knowing what kind of even if
1:28:44
they get a rejection they are still
1:28:45
staying here
1:28:49
and yeah there was a piece about some
1:28:51
people who will have their little house
1:28:53
there and and they're literally on the
1:28:56
other side of the fence and and they're
1:28:58
feeding some of these people as they can
1:28:59
you see the slop that they're getting is
1:29:01
passes for food is just I mean this is
1:29:04
inhumane
1:29:05
animalistic circumstances makes you
1:29:07
really think that our putting kids in
1:29:09
cages is a good deal when you see this
1:29:12
and it's the EU helping out right now
1:29:14
the policy of the European you needs to
1:29:16
send the big chunk of money to the Greek
1:29:19
government but the money does not reach
1:29:21
the people on the ground is not
1:29:23
acceptable that someone has to live on
1:29:24
in a tent for eight months a year or a
1:29:26
year and a half with like no sanitation
1:29:29
no protection no proper food looking at
1:29:36
the most vulnerable like babies or
1:29:37
children or pregnant women there isn't
1:29:40
like they have to live yeah there is not
1:29:45
a lot of money sent but the money does
1:29:47
not reach the ground so a lot of the
1:29:48
initiatives like this one that see like
1:29:50
our our group we work not only on
1:29:53
private donations yeah so that sounds
1:29:55
like it's going extremely well so next
1:29:57
time we have anyone in the European
1:29:59
Union criticize us of our immigration
1:30:01
policies I'd like you to focus on the
1:30:03
island of samos as they have done
1:30:05
something and what they've done is
1:30:07
they've determined it would be better to
1:30:10
move this camp a couple miles up the
1:30:13
road so it's further away from the main
1:30:16
drag the main city unfortunately that
1:30:18
puts it exactly half a mile from a
1:30:21
little village a little picturesque
1:30:24
village in on the island of Samos in
1:30:27
Greece and what euronews did in this
1:30:29
20-minute piece you know how they
1:30:31
they'll have someone talk and they'll
1:30:33
just voice over and like you know as a
1:30:36
translation you know overdubbing I guess
1:30:38
is what what they'd call it yeah well
1:30:41
now it's like a complete radio play this
1:30:45
is and with emotion does they have a
1:30:48
couple of people at this you know
1:30:49
impromptu town meeting and it's you know
1:30:52
a couple old guys couple old ladies and
1:30:54
all yelling but you don't know what
1:30:56
they're saying but they've chopped it
1:30:58
all together with
1:30:59
the euronews translated voices but their
1:31:03
acting I realized it's like a radio play
1:31:07
the Greek government has promised to
1:31:09
close down the valley refugee center
1:31:11
soon and to open a new and bigger one a
1:31:13
few kilometers away from the capital
1:31:15
Jurgis is the president of the village
1:31:18
of mytilini next to which the new camp
1:31:20
is set to be built here are the former
1:31:22
slaughterhouses where the migrant center
1:31:24
is set to be installed you can see where
1:31:28
my community is the distance is one
1:31:30
kilometer so you can understand I will
1:31:35
come to our village the topic has
1:31:37
inflamed the community a group of
1:31:39
villages is expecting us go to the
1:31:42
destination they want to go to and we
1:31:45
are keeping them here by force so they
1:31:47
are giving us their misery I mean their
1:31:49
misery becomes ours people wandering
1:31:53
around without us knowing so they are
1:32:00
that's the issue they can take them
1:32:02
wherever they want but we're here we
1:32:04
don't want them that's it we cannot live
1:32:06
with those people they have 800 diseases
1:32:10
full of black people
1:32:12
no they steal we will take the law into
1:32:16
our own quite possibly this all sounds
1:32:19
racist
1:32:20
we are not please don't associate us
1:32:23
with this term we've closed its borders
1:32:27
Andes Greece that has paid the price for
1:32:29
it those Europeans who take and give
1:32:32
orders can't they understand that the
1:32:34
only thing they are going to achieve is
1:32:37
the rise of the far-right
1:32:39
little by little they are pushing us to
1:32:41
the extreme this is what Europe has
1:32:43
succeeded in this is what you should
1:32:46
tell the video was kind of cool as a
1:32:50
radio play yeah that's funny well yeah
1:32:56
they can bitch and moan about what we do
1:32:58
but that's it's got to be a mess over
1:33:00
there this whole thing is a joke you
1:33:02
know I'm reminded us listening to all
1:33:04
this is you were just playing these
1:33:05
clips and I'm thinking you know the
1:33:07
Europeans really don't have a culture to
1:33:09
do to manage the be you in the
1:33:13
nation of the the United States the even
1:33:16
when we had 13 colonies let alone when
1:33:19
we started expanding mm-hmm if you read
1:33:21
the literature from that era the
1:33:22
Europeans scoffed at what we're up to
1:33:24
especially when we went independent and
1:33:27
decided to become one big group as
1:33:29
opposed to the small colonies that were
1:33:31
all owned by different parts of Europe
1:33:33
in many ways or in slightly independent
1:33:36
but not too far was that it did at the
1:33:40
point of the 1776 era it was believed
1:33:44
that the country was too big to manage
1:33:48
this is there going to be the downfall
1:33:50
of the United States is that these 13
1:33:52
colonies you can't register shall never
1:33:55
work yes exactly and so the there was
1:33:58
all of the agreement the French would
1:34:00
say that the Brits would say that to
1:34:01
everybody
1:34:02
it was too big I mean look at the size
1:34:04
of the you know some of our countries
1:34:06
and there's it's already too big
1:34:07
meanwhile so they go from that kind of
1:34:09
thinking over hundreds of years and
1:34:11
there's dental changed into one language
1:34:14
they don't do anything in Europe to to
1:34:16
make it easier they still have all their
1:34:17
separate little languages you know and
1:34:19
they decide to make one big monstrosity
1:34:21
and try to manage it with a bunch of
1:34:23
bureaucrats running it out of Belgium
1:34:24
does this make any sense to anybody
1:34:26
historically no and by the way in in the
1:34:32
Netherlands is this there was a smallish
1:34:34
town that has a local newspaper and the
1:34:38
local newspaper was not allowed by the
1:34:40
authorities to inform the community that
1:34:45
there would be a new asylum seeker
1:34:49
center that will be set up right near
1:34:52
their town this is
1:34:56
that it isn't over what how did that go
1:34:59
over not very well the in fact the
1:35:00
entire newsdesk quit the paper the paper
1:35:05
quit itself pretty much why which the
1:35:10
paper got to do it because they were not
1:35:11
allowed to publish this news and they
1:35:14
were forbidden from publishing this news
1:35:16
so no one there knew about it until all
1:35:18
of a sudden this they start building
1:35:20
this Center like what is this all they
1:35:22
can have asylum seekers over here which
1:35:24
of course in Liberal Europe everybody
1:35:26
loves people coming seeking asylum but
1:35:30
you know where we don't want it yeah
1:35:32
NIMBY exactly yeah well well I do have
1:35:38
some news from over here really okay I
1:35:42
have a couple of clips that bother me
1:35:44
because there's missing information all
1:35:46
right this one here is the barge report
1:35:48
from CBS where we had a little spill
1:35:52
late this afternoon two barges and an
1:35:53
oil tanker collided in a shipping
1:35:55
channel in Houston one of the barges
1:35:58
capsized after a hole opened up in its
1:36:00
side it was carrying about 25,000
1:36:02
barrels of a toxic chemical used to make
1:36:05
gasoline some of that has spilled into
1:36:08
the water
1:36:10
hmm when you hear that what do you that
1:36:13
what what goes through your mind and so
1:36:14
far as information what information did
1:36:17
was kind of not told who was left out
1:36:20
seems well whose barge was this well
1:36:23
that's one of them yeah interesting to
1:36:27
know yes aren't you even curious about
1:36:32
what toxic chemicals gotten into the
1:36:34
water that's Houston gives a shit
1:36:36
well there's anything but Houston yeah
1:36:43
I'd be interested do we know if we
1:36:44
figured it out then do we know it all
1:36:46
what's happening if you go look at the
1:36:48
news reports this was even more
1:36:49
interesting instead of a toxic chemical
1:36:51
of this I'll read you some headlines
1:36:53
from various stories barge leaks
1:36:55
gasoline product in Houston ship oh I
1:36:58
know what it is barge and tanker collide
1:37:00
linking gas product mm-hmm products
1:37:04
largest causing massive gas product holy
1:37:07
crap we're gonna die what is this stuff
1:37:10
well what it turns out to be if you do a
1:37:12
little research oh I know there's not
1:37:14
even get into it in these news stories
1:37:16
either they just call it reform eight I
1:37:18
know what it is I know it was it's the
1:37:20
stuff that turns the frogs gay no oh
1:37:23
that's atrazine yes
1:37:27
atrazine and it's not using petroleum
1:37:29
products huh no it's caught they call it
1:37:31
all these news articles talk about it is
1:37:33
reforming reform 8 is this kind of a
1:37:36
witch's brew of crap that comes off of
1:37:40
various catalytic reform of so it's a
1:37:43
waste it's a waste product no it's not a
1:37:45
waste price all high-end stuff oh it's
1:37:48
the goodest all mixed up so you have
1:37:49
toluene and napped the naphtha yeah you
1:37:53
got benzene which is the is carcinogen
1:37:58
xylene xylene lot of xylene yeah so you
1:38:01
have all these aromatics and some
1:38:03
benzene and some other chemicals all
1:38:05
it's a witch's brew and it makes the
1:38:07
it's used to boost the octane of normal
1:38:11
supercharged fish in Houston then well
1:38:14
it's the thing that was left out of the
1:38:16
report in my opinion is the fact that
1:38:17
benzene which is highly carcinogenic was
1:38:20
leaked into the water nobody's talking
1:38:23
damn and not just a little bit so this
1:38:27
is mines so this is a cover-up then
1:38:29
because other I mean just even I know
1:38:31
it's poor reporting no it's it sounds
1:38:34
more like a publisher they get all bent
1:38:36
out of shape if you say that so yeah
1:38:40
don't let the public bent out of shape
1:38:41
about the fact you got a bunch of
1:38:43
benzene in the water which is not a good
1:38:45
product no but yeah but they way they
1:38:50
had covered up toxic as you know toluene
1:38:53
is not these things aren't that there's
1:38:55
because this stuff will get here get
1:38:58
into the water supply eventually won't
1:38:59
it I don't know if most of it evaporates
1:39:02
now sold high-end I mean it's all very
1:39:06
volatile so it'll go away
1:39:08
so not that big a problem know if you
1:39:11
boil the channel the stuff will come
1:39:14
right off don't worry just boil your arm
1:39:18
it'll rub right off that's already safe
1:39:21
I always tell people use these you know
1:39:24
most most oils I don't I get a good
1:39:26
lecture on this but most oils that you
1:39:28
get unless they specifically say
1:39:30
expeller or crushed depends on how how
1:39:33
the oil is made but you know first
1:39:35
virgin olive oil first press is pressed
1:39:38
and then a lot of a lot of oils or
1:39:40
expellers and expel they spin it around
1:39:42
it comes out of the thence seeds and
1:39:44
whatever but most oil productions like
1:39:47
they did Missoula the giant gallons of
1:39:50
oil that you get yes tends to be a
1:39:53
hexane extractor which is the easiest
1:39:55
way to pull oil out of nuts and fruits
1:39:57
and whatever you pull into seeds
1:39:59
whenever you're pulling the oil out of
1:40:01
is you extract with hexane make a mash
1:40:03
put hexane in there flash it off and you
1:40:06
end up with some oil the problem is
1:40:08
there's always resented I believe I
1:40:10
believe that there's no way you can
1:40:13
flash all the hexane off and so you end
1:40:15
up with a some residual hexane in the
1:40:19
oils ah and now a lot of the natural
1:40:22
food for next oh my god you can't use
1:40:24
these oils for anything you can use
1:40:25
these oils I also believe based on just
1:40:29
basic chemistry that if you yeah if you
1:40:32
take the corn oil that's been hexane and
1:40:35
extract it and use
1:40:36
salad-dressing you're probably gonna
1:40:37
ingest some so you don't use that you
1:40:40
use olive oil of course of course we
1:40:42
don't yeah but if you're making french
1:40:45
fries would you heat that oil up to 320
1:40:47
or plus degrees if there's any residual
1:40:51
in there it's gone so it's safe so do I
1:40:54
go long oil or short
1:40:56
basically I love how you know yeah I
1:41:01
love you to throw out the based on basic
1:41:04
chemistry that you lost me it can you
1:41:09
know things flash off and this would now
1:41:13
does that work with chicks no it turns
1:41:17
out unless there Cammi chemistry nerds
1:41:20
right doesn't really work or with any of
1:41:23
them I just want to make sure no it's
1:41:26
not a chick magnet anything remember
1:41:29
doing it for people out there who like
1:41:30
to cook and they're always agree about
1:41:32
this and that about it these overpriced
1:41:34
expeller oils I mean I cook yeah I try
1:41:40
to cook ooh and I French fry I try to
1:41:41
cook in safflower or sunflower oil which
1:41:45
is a really good oil for deep fat frying
1:41:47
I've gotten kind of hooked on the
1:41:50
sorghum syrup I know it's what growing
1:41:56
up in Holland in the Netherlands for
1:41:59
breakfast there's there's really there's
1:42:02
certainly younger kids we'll have a
1:42:04
slice of bread or maybe two slices
1:42:06
buttered up or margarine actually and
1:42:10
then they either put chocolate flakes on
1:42:13
there or chocolate sprinkles they can
1:42:16
also do they can do the colored
1:42:17
sprinkles but also molasses just
1:42:19
spreading molasses on top of the butter
1:42:22
right and I grew up eating that or they
1:42:25
can go the other way and have a piece of
1:42:27
bread again with the margarine slash
1:42:29
butter then slices of young aged Gouda
1:42:32
cheese that would be another another fan
1:42:34
favorite in the morning but also for
1:42:37
lunch but you know it and I just took a
1:42:40
piece of bread and I put some some
1:42:42
butter on it
1:42:45
sorghum syrup and oh my god it took me
1:42:48
back is delicious you know it sounds
1:42:52
like it should taste like poop
1:42:54
sorghum that doesn't sound appealing but
1:42:57
when a try it's good man
1:42:59
that is sorghum pancake for breakfast
1:43:01
today we should try my sorghum syrup on
1:43:05
your sorghum pancake you know I like
1:43:08
you're the one great delicacy that the
1:43:10
United States has pretty much larger
1:43:13
mine in Canada and Jemima is his maple
1:43:17
syrup not Aunt Jemima Aunt Jemima is a
1:43:20
gun sugar water the fructose corn syrup
1:43:22
it'll kick crap in who knows what's in
1:43:25
there but a real 100% maple syrup is a
1:43:30
is a c-minus rather cheap considering
1:43:36
how rare and valuable it is around the
1:43:39
world it's very expensive yeah so all
1:43:43
right back there off of the food okay
1:43:45
well just a few updates
1:43:47
jussie Smollett will not return to
1:43:49
Empire for next season he's done oh he's
1:43:52
on again off again
1:43:53
no I guess now it's off guess they you
1:43:56
know the Fox News Fox yeah yeah Fox made
1:44:01
their decision said now it's not worth
1:44:03
it so he's off good liar yeah you like
1:44:10
fries with that Bernie Sanders and AOC
1:44:13
are calling for the creation of
1:44:16
government-owned banks run by the US
1:44:18
Post Office and I want to say I've well
1:44:23
would you like your savings in stamps
1:44:25
well I've used this system when I when I
1:44:27
was growing up it was quite popular in
1:44:29
the Netherlands and it was called post
1:44:31
hito and you literally did your banking
1:44:34
at the post office or you could do it
1:44:36
through the mail which was free and you
1:44:38
filled out your little card for payments
1:44:40
and and it's still there and you can
1:44:41
still then now they do it online but
1:44:44
it's what what interests me is why don't
1:44:47
they promote a credit unions we mean it
1:44:52
doesn't necessarily have to be a
1:44:54
government-run thing for it to be more
1:44:56
of a non-profit model and
1:44:58
that's not trying to screw you over at
1:45:00
least is being honest about it not
1:45:02
getting back-end deals for the worse
1:45:04
they screw you and that's a credit union
1:45:06
we have them all over the United States
1:45:07
and their and and they are community
1:45:10
banking to this maximum you don't have
1:45:13
to be in it you know yeah but the having
1:45:17
a banking system within the post office
1:45:21
it's I mean I don't know if we could do
1:45:23
it with ours with our postal system but
1:45:25
it's not a bad idea necessarily I've
1:45:28
seen it were lines I've seen it work
1:45:30
yeah you've seen it work but a lot of
1:45:33
post offices because they're little
1:45:35
fiefdoms in the United States yeah it'd
1:45:37
be some issue with customer service Oh
1:45:39
I mean just like me I don't have a
1:45:41
mailbox so just imagine like you move
1:45:43
lasari your you don't have any money
1:45:46
sorry we don't we don't know where your
1:45:49
where your money account is is gone got
1:45:53
another clip dead is considered
1:45:55
something of a gaffe or maybe not I'm
1:45:56
not sure but it would seem to me that if
1:45:59
you were a news reader and you were and
1:46:01
or an expert or remember the woman who
1:46:05
was the head of Planned Parenthood kind
1:46:07
of the yes seal Rogers Roger Cecile
1:46:12
Richards Richards yes I like I've always
1:46:16
liked her sauce and Richards daughter
1:46:17
yes I do
1:46:20
she's starting I know what you're gonna
1:46:23
say she's attractive except no more
1:46:25
recently having been booted out of
1:46:27
Planned Parenthood she really is
1:46:29
starting to look like George Soros
1:46:32
[Music]
1:46:36
recently I didn't catch the source look
1:46:43
for your Star Wars folk yeah
1:46:46
she's starting look since you saw I mean
1:46:50
that's you know a drawback but she was
1:46:51
on with Amy and there's a little gaff in
1:46:53
here I want to see if you can spot it I
1:46:56
don't know that you will but you might
1:46:59
but I did immediately and I just had to
1:47:02
go back to soil with this bullcrap
1:47:03
how can you not know this okay so have a
1:47:06
listen and anyone who wants to be
1:47:08
elected has to respond to the issue
1:47:11
that women care about so that'll be a
1:47:13
lot of organizing work we're doing both
1:47:15
online and offline in the coming month
1:47:18
for Democratic women have now announced
1:47:21
their plans to run for president the
1:47:22
significance of this for you and will
1:47:24
you be endorsing I think the importance
1:47:26
of obviously there's there's no way to
1:47:28
overstate the importance of women
1:47:30
running for president and I'm thrilled
1:47:32
that they are and I think they're
1:47:34
raising issues that have long been
1:47:35
needed to be raised i I think it's it's
1:47:39
disturbing to see what I believe is a
1:47:42
real double standard and how they are
1:47:43
being treated versus the many many many
1:47:46
men that are running for president you
1:47:48
know two-thirds of political reporting
1:47:49
is still done by men and so I'm hoping
1:47:52
that both from super majority through
1:47:55
other folks that follow the media we can
1:47:57
actually be lifting up the important
1:47:59
work that these women have done as you
1:48:01
probably know these are women who in
1:48:03
large part have never lost a political
1:48:05
race and so when people talk about women
1:48:07
being unelectable i think it's really
1:48:08
important to look at their record
1:48:10
because it stands up really in contrast
1:48:12
to a lot of the folks the lot of the men
1:48:14
who are actually in the race right now
1:48:20
who's she working for now oh it's some
1:48:23
guy so you'd look up huge summer some
1:48:27
it's like a lot not a lobbying group it
1:48:29
is some you know NGO kind of an
1:48:32
operation and why did she leave I don't
1:48:36
know I enjoy that but the point of the
1:48:38
clip was more about the gaffe which I
1:48:40
think was inexcusable consider we have
1:48:42
Amy who's a news reader and knows that
1:48:45
knows should know about this because
1:48:48
it's about they're talking about women
1:48:49
politicians and and and Richard should
1:48:52
have said something so what was the gas
1:48:55
there are four women running for
1:48:57
president is the gaffe
1:49:02
there's five okay woman and you're all
1:49:12
four women running for the name them now
1:49:15
Hillary it would be six but Hillary's
1:49:17
not running there are five not four and
1:49:20
I think it was I think they purposely
1:49:22
forget one and I think the one they keep
1:49:24
forgetting is Tulsa Tulsa Gabrielle yes
1:49:26
they don't even consider her a contender
1:49:28
for some reason yes they dared a eschew
1:49:31
her they stick a thumb in her eye and
1:49:35
they did they say Ford the four they're
1:49:36
talking about is his claw Bachar Harris
1:49:40
Warren and and Gillibrand right and the
1:49:44
fifth one is Tulsi Gabbard it's so rude
1:49:48
but it's not it's not unexpected you
1:49:51
know I bought first of all I like Tulsi
1:49:54
Gabbard oh she Gabor's the only anti-war
1:49:56
when we're talking about the war and
1:49:57
that's what I'm saying
1:50:00
I like Tulsi Gabbard a lot I've liked
1:50:02
her since we first became aware of her
1:50:04
five years ago maybe six years ago and
1:50:07
said that she could totally be President
1:50:08
but her message is wrong she's hates war
1:50:11
as a veteran she's been in war and so
1:50:13
that's wrong but she also has a yeah she
1:50:19
has zero stage presence
1:50:21
she she's very she's stately and she
1:50:24
speaks thoughtfully and slowly but who
1:50:27
gives a crap no one cared no one wants
1:50:29
that anymore we need to see fire and
1:50:31
both other people yes yes yes yes we
1:50:34
need fire and passion and pissed-off
1:50:36
miss and now she doesn't have any of
1:50:38
that but for her to just be excluded by
1:50:41
these top women is very less she's doing
1:50:44
they excluded well sure because they
1:50:46
never mentioned names
1:50:47
obviously I agree with not I agree with
1:50:50
you there's only four women running yeah
1:50:54
yeah bullcrap and I'm looking at her
1:50:57
Wikipedia page but oh what does know it
1:51:00
doesn't say where she's currently
1:51:01
working it's some weird organization I'd
1:51:07
like to know what happened there because
1:51:08
I thought she was on I actually thought
1:51:10
she was on her way into politics it
1:51:11
seemed like she would be perfect too
1:51:14
to do some good in the Democratic Party
1:51:16
yeah it must have been some scandal no
1:51:18
one ever wanted to bring something's
1:51:20
going on yeah maybe we just missed that
1:51:22
[Music]
1:51:29
yes yes
1:51:31
tracking the measles because it's just
1:51:32
so much fun to do we've spread over to
1:51:35
Europe hundred thousand people with the
1:51:37
measles tell them how important it is
1:51:39
I mean is a horrible disease and it can
1:51:44
kill it does spread very very quickly
1:51:47
and so the only way to protect yourself
1:51:49
is to make sure you've had the full
1:51:50
course of vaccine and it's never too
1:51:52
late just because your child is a little
1:51:54
bit older now they can still go and get
1:51:55
their vaccine from the GP get these
1:52:00
shots how do you get all these people
1:52:02
getting infected these shots are
1:52:04
distilled water you know I'm with you
1:52:09
it's like everyone's so worried and we
1:52:10
know that if you've been inoculated you
1:52:13
cannot get it you can't I get it again
1:52:15
if you've had it you can't I get it
1:52:17
again but now there's these wishy-washy
1:52:19
need a booster 94 97 look if you if you
1:52:22
protected by the vaccine and what are
1:52:24
you worried about why was everybody
1:52:25
freaking out
1:52:26
the Alabama County Fair oh my there was
1:52:30
a five month old baby everybody freaked
1:52:33
out live at five we first broke this
1:52:35
four live at five were you on the for
1:52:37
the new information that the testing for
1:52:39
that st. Clair County baby presumed to
1:52:41
have measles was negative from Alabama's
1:52:48
Department of Health would you find out
1:52:49
Allen well those are the results I mean
1:52:51
we've been saying this all along you
1:52:53
know while there was concern she might
1:52:55
have had it measles we're talking about
1:52:57
that 5-month year old infant over in st.
1:52:58
Clair County but you know test had to be
1:53:00
done what had to be done by the CDC the
1:53:02
tests were done they were then
1:53:04
eventually the Public Health Department
1:53:05
releasing like this afternoon it might
1:53:06
be a rash of some sort but it's
1:53:08
definitely not measles oh now we can
1:53:10
tell you the public health department
1:53:11
they are investigating about 80 cases
1:53:14
Gaunt right now in Alabama as an
1:53:16
investigation the public health
1:53:17
department has already dismissed 170 of
1:53:20
those investigation in cases again those
1:53:23
were not measles stay the health of
1:53:24
health officials that must be that cyst
1:53:27
is that the deal we were talking about
1:53:28
if it's not measles tastes like well
1:53:30
it's not measles move on well hold on I
1:53:33
think that's kind of important to know
1:53:35
if there's something looks like measles
1:53:36
gets that one all freaked out this lets
1:53:38
me zl-- telling you as you heard st.
1:53:40
Claire County that little girl it was
1:53:42
presumptive positive until the actual
1:53:45
presumptive positive nice tests were
1:53:47
done and examined and that was by the
1:53:49
CDC so no measles in Alabama but
1:53:52
remember we have those 80 investigations
1:53:54
and of course that we can also tell you
1:53:56
the Health Department
1:53:56
they look into communicable vaccinated
1:53:58
cases the possible diseases all the time
1:54:00
so that's is this is not that I think
1:54:04
that's what he's doing he's auctioning
1:54:06
off this idea that we all need to go
1:54:07
shop and catch up with dr. Karen Landers
1:54:09
today she's with the public health
1:54:11
department tell me overall Alabama is
1:54:14
still in very good shape when it comes
1:54:15
to measles we're a highly vaccinated
1:54:17
state still you know there is that
1:54:20
possibility
1:54:20
somebody unvaccinated gets exposed
1:54:23
elsewhere you meant to vaction air comes
1:54:25
here could cause a problem if you have
1:54:27
any questions again check with your
1:54:29
doctor he'll let you know if possible if
1:54:31
you need to get a booster or not get

1:54:49
way out of vaccines we showed up at the
1:54:51
offices of dr. Kenneth Stoller on
1:54:53
Broadway whose medical records will be
1:54:55
reviewed by the San Francisco City
1:54:57
Attorney's Office this is part of an
1:54:59
ongoing investigation into whether or
1:55:01
not this particular doctor was granting
1:55:05
medical exemptions to patients that
1:55:08
didn't qualify for them there's no
1:55:10
hiding the fact that Stoller has issued
1:55:13
medical exemptions for vaccination
1:55:15
purposes we found people had written on
1:55:18
Google review about his work I am so
1:55:21
grateful to have this is now journalism
1:55:23
well we checked out the web and we got a
1:55:26
Google review page
1:55:28
it's like Yelp only shittier let's read
1:55:31
that to everybody we found people had
1:55:33
written on google review about his work
1:55:35
I am so grateful to have found him
1:55:38
help my son regarding vaccinations
1:55:40
another posted we sought out dr. Stoller
1:55:43
when in the middle of spring of last
1:55:45
year my daughters were being asked for
1:55:47
new vaccine exemptions Senate bill 277
1:55:51
which went into effect in 2016 says you
1:55:54
can no longer cite religious or personal
1:55:57
beliefs to get out of vaccinating
1:55:59
children I didn't know yeah you can only
1:56:04
get out of it if if you have cancer or
1:56:08
if you have an immune system issue which
1:56:11
quite honestly you know you got a lot of
1:56:14
other problems going on introduced you
1:56:18
want to introduce a virus but you
1:56:20
probably also shouldn't be in school
1:56:21
with a immune issue
1:56:24
nothing playing a clip eating children
1:56:26
but the two state senators behind 277
1:56:31
allowed for medical exemptions which
1:56:33
include a person's family history doctor
1:56:36
Stoller's attorney Skyped with us from
1:56:38
back east so there are a group of
1:56:40
doctors in California that have taken
1:56:44
these two senators at their word and are
1:56:46
issuing broader indications based on
1:56:49
family history just like these senators
1:56:51
said they can do but now State Senator
1:56:53
Richard pan one of the authors of the
1:56:55
bill says the law has been exploited by
1:56:58
some doctors you know we're having
1:57:00
measles showing up people are bringing
1:57:02
it into our state and we can't have
1:57:05
measles spreading rapidly through a
1:57:07
school he's now the how does that work
1:57:09
if if 99 percent is vaccinated how can
1:57:15
spread rapidly through the school it
1:57:19
makes no sense unless they're shooting
1:57:20
people up with distilled water in charge
1:57:23
doctor does when he bucks it's it's
1:57:26
Occam's razor really and we can't have
1:57:28
measles spreading rapidly through a
1:57:30
school he's now behind another bill 276
1:57:34
this time calling for the State Health
1:57:36
Department to vet all medical exemptions
1:57:39
and both state senator pan and the City
1:57:42
Attorney's Office say they are most
1:57:44
concerned with kids who cannot get
1:57:46
vaccinated because they
1:57:48
either have cancer or a compromised
1:57:50
immune system they say wow she said that
1:57:52
almost with disdain these kids keep good
1:57:55
eye cancer but you can't get your chakra
1:57:57
you the cancer what's wrong with you
1:57:59
kids and the City Attorney's Office say
1:58:01
they are most concerned with kids who
1:58:02
cannot get vaccinated because they
1:58:05
either have cancer or a compromised
1:58:07
immune system they sure these stupid-ass
1:58:10
kids say they're the ones in real danger
1:58:15

1:58:57
because you're asking questions you get
1:58:59
kicked off of that which is why we use
1:59:01
the actual internet and all the pieces
1:59:04
that it includes let me close out the
1:59:07
segment they have this story this is
1:59:20
teacher has to pay for her replacement
1:59:22
story a California teacher who is
1:59:26
battling breast cancer isn't just facing
1:59:27
mounting medical fees she is also being
1:59:29
forced to pay for her own replacement
1:59:32
turns out it is the law here's Jamie
1:59:35
yuccas she's a veteran second grade
1:59:39
teacher at San Francisco's Glen Park
1:59:41
Elementary School we're choosing not to
1:59:43
identify her to protect her privacy when
1:59:46
parents heard she was actually required
1:59:48
to pay for her own substitute they were
1:59:50
outraged and launched a GoFundMe page to
1:59:53
help cover costs it could not believe
1:59:55
that this could this could be happening
1:59:58
that this would be a law and the more I
2:00:01
found out the more angry I got teachers
2:00:03
can use 10 paid sick days per school
2:00:05
year once those are exhausted they can
2:00:08
use a hundred days of extended sick
2:00:10
leave and receive their regular salary -
2:00:13
the substitutes pay what doesn't seem
2:00:15
fair at all Connie Leiva chairs the
2:00:17
California Senate Education Committee we
2:00:20
would never want one of our teachers who
2:00:22
is basically educating our future to be
2:00:24
worried about where their family is
2:00:26
going to be when they're out battling
2:00:28
answer since the GoFundMe page was
2:00:30
launched at the end of last month nearly
2:00:32
fourteen thousand dollars has been
2:00:34
raised well over the ten thousand dollar
2:00:36
goal the teacher posted an appreciation
2:00:39
my heart is lifted and it gives me so
2:00:41
much strength to know that so many
2:00:43
people care about me and my family I
2:00:45
hope next year our leaders in Sacramento
2:00:48
will take a hard look at that and make
2:00:50
sure that they change the language in
2:00:52
the law Jamie yuccas CBS News now what
2:00:54
are you guys leaving the union no can't
2:00:58
come quicker no matter can't come now I
2:01:03
have one clip I want to play which i
2:01:06
think is I don't know if we're gonna get
2:01:09
to it or not but we are now cuz we
2:01:11
talked about this in the last couple of
2:01:13
shows I think we've discussed the false
2:01:15
flag yes we were quite familiar with the
2:01:17
flag of falseness and it's going to be
2:01:20
in Iran right in Iran in false flag yes
2:01:22
well we got the food out this is the
2:01:25
latest from CBS and by the way I wanted
2:01:28
you know Jeff Dolores is quitting or go
2:01:30

2:01:33
News he did have a very I have a little
2:01:35
short his sign-off it's very sweet
2:01:37
because it was mostly about the crew and
2:01:39
talked too much about himself and then
2:01:41
he actually quit on Friday quit the show
2:01:44
early and talked about the crew and he
2:01:46
said I want to thank every one of them
2:01:47
then they did a a slow roll of the
2:01:49
credits yeah you know which is what you
2:01:51
usually do what that shows not long
2:01:52
enough yes but in this case it was like
2:01:54
he walks off this thing you know and
2:01:56
they do this unbelievably slow role of
2:01:58
just not only everybody that's on this
2:02:00
doing Easter and interns I know they
2:02:03
don't have a cameraman working the show
2:02:05

2:02:14
sweet
2:02:14

2:03:00
flubber she's not gonna be able to sit

2:03:05
to the Muller report ever since you got
2:03:08

2:03:11
trump supporter yeah someone said so on

2:03:24
oh yeah as we leave here tonight I just
2:03:27

2:03:29

2:03:32
the people who put on the evening news
2:03:33
remain committed this program will be
2:03:36
moving to Washington DC in the coming
2:03:38
months I wish Noor O'Donnell the best of
2:03:41

2:03:47
I wish her the best of luck Bush nor
2:03:49
O'Donnell the best of luck she don't
2:03:52
need it because of all the people
2:03:53
backing her up so I'd like to use the
2:03:56
time I have left on this night to
2:03:58
recognize them their hours are long and
2:04:01
unpredictable their family and friends
2:04:02
are unfailingly patients no no thanking
2:04:07
the crew yeah it's an old one it's a
2:04:11
team effort
2:04:19
we don't normally take my place are you
2:04:23
kidding me
2:04:24
that's what he should have said yeah I
2:04:25
bet she tests really well though
2:04:27
well if wait until she starts doing it
2:04:30
now who's that they brought in that
2:04:34
woman I think it was also brought in to
2:04:36
CBS that the morning woman from the
2:04:39
Today Show was I can't remember her name
2:04:41
terrible you know just because you know
2:04:45
it's nice to have a woman anchor but it
2:04:47
you can't do it I mean the the epitome
2:04:50
of female anchors on news reading is
2:04:53
Asian Goodman what happened to Connie
2:04:56
Connie Chung you know whatever happened
2:05:00
to Connie Chung I think she married
2:05:01
maury povich though she did marry him
2:05:03
but she was actually pretty good yeah
2:05:06
well she was your stereo to me to you is
2:05:09
your stereotypical Asian woman news
2:05:12
model I will say this they had and I
2:05:16
don't want to sound like a racist but
2:05:19
the Asian newsreaders I've seen as one
2:05:23
sitcom because we have a lot of them in
2:05:24
the Bay Area and they come and go it was
2:05:26
one woman here that you'd you would just
2:05:29
sit and waiting I mean I don't care who
2:05:32
you are and how good you are
2:05:34
you can't go weeks after weeks after
2:05:38
weeks of daily news reading with never
2:05:40
never making a flub saying uh something
2:05:46
there was this woman I can't remember
2:05:48
her name but she was screamed through
2:05:50
the news and she would be flawless and
2:05:53
I'm thinking well maybe the Asian of
2:05:56
some Asian newsreaders was just they
2:05:58
just have a skill set that you know you
2:05:59
can t otherwise achieve and so Connie
2:06:02
Chung I think was in that league Norah
2:06:04
O'Donnell will not pull this off oh she
2:06:10
won't pull it off you watch that wasn't
2:06:12
racist at all by the way I understand
2:06:14
what you were worried about I'm always
2:06:15
worried because you keep calling me out
2:06:17
on it misogynist is all hell okay back
2:06:22
to Iran the reason why we think that
2:06:24
it's ripe for a false flag is a I mean
2:06:27
come on it's what they do it's fun B we
2:06:31
had pence specifically tell a group of
2:06:34
Iranians behind closed doors which are
2:06:37
not pence Pompeyo CIF state state
2:06:40
department former CIA will get it
2:06:42
eventually
2:06:43
specifically told them which means you
2:06:46
know it had to leak out we're just
2:06:47
holding back we're not doing anything no
2:06:50
aggressive moves from us it's not gonna
2:06:51
be us whatever you so that means of
2:06:56
course that there's something afoot and
2:06:58
meanwhile they take the abraham lincoln
2:07:01
in about eight has ten thousand ten
2:07:03
thousand sailors and they set them right
2:07:07
here on this is
2:07:08
this is and nobody's saying this is yes
2:07:12
Tulsi Gabbard Tulsi gabbard's all over
2:07:15
it haven't you heard I haven't heard
2:07:17
that but here's the report from CBS with
2:07:19
Iran's Revolutionary Guard today ruled
2:07:22
out any talks with the US aimed at
2:07:23
getting Tehran to give up its nuclear
2:07:25
program this as tensions grew with a new
2:07:27
show of force in the region here's David
2:07:30
Martin a Carrier Strike Group has
2:07:33
already passed through the Suez Canal
2:07:34
and b-52 bombers already landed at an
2:07:37
airbase in the Persian Gulf but the
2:07:40
Pentagon is sending even more forces to
2:07:42
back up its warnings to Iran Patriot air
2:07:46
defense missiles an amphibious assault
2:07:48
ship a nuclear-powered submarine along
2:07:51
with fresh supplies of precision guided
2:07:53
weapons are all on their way in response
2:07:56
to intelligence reports Iran is
2:07:58
preparing to attack American troops or
2:08:00
diplomats Secretary of State Pompeo has
2:08:03
warned any attacks will be answered with
2:08:06
a swift and decisive US response in an
2:08:09
interview with Margaret Brennan for Face
2:08:11
the Nation former defense secretary
2:08:13
Robert Gates said he's worried the stage
2:08:16
is being set for a conflict neither side
2:08:19
wants if the Iranians make the mistake
2:08:21
of launching an attack in the Persian
2:08:24
Gulf on a more American warship the
2:08:26
administration probably won't have any
2:08:28
alternative but to retaliate carrier
2:08:30
Lincoln was first passed by Yemen where
2:08:33
Iranian backed rebels have in the past
2:08:35
fired missiles at American ships and
2:08:37
once it arrived at the entrance to the
2:08:40
Persian Gulf they will be operating
2:08:42
under the noses of Iran's hardline
2:08:44
Revolutionary Guard units David Martin
2:08:47
CBS News the Pentagon you know I really
2:08:52
hope Trump has a handle on what's going
2:08:55
on here because all these things can
2:08:58
just collapse so poorly and really mean
2:09:03
they're ratcheting up the Syrian thing
2:09:05
again Oh a sadhas bomb I didn't clip it
2:09:08
it was so insulting Assad is bombing
2:09:10
hospitals again killing children and
2:09:12
patients hospitals the war machine is
2:09:15
huge
2:09:17
well this particular situation is so
2:09:20
obvious we're shipping all these
2:09:22
armaments ten thousand ten thousand on
2:09:26
sailors alone yeah what is here's the
2:09:29
one thing that is ever discussed by any
2:09:31
of these news operations cuz you could
2:09:33
if you or walk working in DC you could
2:09:36
just ask somebody you can go you had
2:09:38
their Pentagon briefings the question is
2:09:41
what does it cost to move the Abraham
2:09:46
Lincoln and all of the new gear and fly
2:09:49
the b-52s and take all the ships and
2:09:52
move them into the into the region right
2:09:55
next to Iran what does it cost well how
2:09:59
much does it cost to move all this gear
2:10:01
over there in the first place it's gotta
2:10:04
cost me I got it cause I'm pretty sure
2:10:07
no I'm pretty sure we can find the
2:10:09
answer in the Muller report
2:10:13
that's what it is
2:10:14
everyone's your to meet the so-called
2:10:17
media is so bad and it's hard enough
2:10:20
even if you put something in a headline
2:10:21
in the New York Times most people won't
2:10:23
really know about it
2:10:24
it's got to be headline news for days
2:10:27
and days and days it's got to be
2:10:29
hammered there's too much media too much
2:10:31
noise people tune it out they got the
2:10:33
other things to do they don't care so
2:10:35
the machine is very good at the
2:10:37
repetition because that's what works
2:10:39
it's house why do you see the same damn
2:10:41
princess toast commercial for the stupid
2:10:44
vitamin C gummy bear for your moronic
2:10:47
kids and I don't have kids and I keep
2:10:50
seeing this ad I have one but not to
2:10:52

2:10:58
Mulla bar trump the mela mela mela by
2:11:00
trumpet my limited mind about trump is
2:11:03

thank you
2:28:08
Dvorak dot org slash na all help is
2:28:11
welcome and necessary but no I have a
2:28:15
note from producer grant mm-hmm about
2:28:19
this dimension of the of the diesel subs
2:28:22
which we're talking about them if it was
2:28:24
an antiquated thing or why we were
2:28:26
laughing the pointed they made the point
2:28:29
of saying yeah well this guy here just a
2:28:31
couple of people actually say yeah
2:28:33
diesel subs are exceedingly quiet
2:28:35
compared to nuclear boats nuclear
2:28:39
vessels need to maintain their coolant
2:28:41
pumps even when lying silent
2:28:44
this means they always create some level
2:28:47
of noise that can be detected by it
2:28:49
passively listening diesel subs run on
2:28:52
batteries meaning that they can be
2:28:54
completely silent while moving at low
2:28:56
speed and cannot be detected unless they
2:28:59
move quickly which causes cavitation
2:29:02
this means the sub can move into a
2:29:05
shooting position without the enemy
2:29:07
detecting them while running like this
2:29:09
their opponent must use active so more
2:29:12
sonar to ping them active sonar gives
2:29:15
away the the pickets ships exact
2:29:18
position and is likely to invoke a
2:29:20
torpedo launch at the surface ship doing
2:29:23
the pinging this is why they are very
2:29:25
dangerous
2:29:26
ok diesel subs weakness is that they
2:29:29
need to charge their batteries using
2:29:31
their loud diesel engines either while
2:29:34
on the surface or just beneath it while
2:29:36
using a snorkel they are very vulnerable
2:29:39
while doing this ok little background
2:29:43
people don't know the more you know on
2:29:46
the No Agenda show Alyssa Milano uh
2:29:50
she's pretty powerful in Hollywood due
2:29:53
to her I think her husband who was a big
2:29:54
CIA agent I think
2:29:59
she is using an oldie but goodie the old
2:30:03
Lysistrata trick calling for a sex
2:30:06
strike to protest anti-abortion laws in
2:30:10
other words you see I think she has a
2:30:13
slogan or a logo it's a big pink sign
2:30:17
with a big X and where is it
2:30:21
oh here it is hashtag sex strike our
2:30:25
reproductive rights are being erased
2:30:27
until women have legal control over our
2:30:29
own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy
2:30:32
join me by not having sex until we get
2:30:35
bodily autonomy back
2:30:37
that's a bumper sticker huh this is
2:30:43
absorbable Georgia of course the
2:30:49
heartbeat bill the heart which is
2:30:51
dubious is questionable it's the
2:30:59
Hollywood lot of Hollywood movies are
2:31:01
made in 1 million square feet of
2:31:05
soundstage in Georgia yes huge they have
2:31:09
a lot of sound stages and they got a lot
2:31:11
of action together they got and the
2:31:12
workers are cheaper yeah you know so
2:31:14
yeah so they like to make movies there
2:31:16
but now I think Spielberg and some other
2:31:18
guys that are better kind of signed up
2:31:21
to do movies there said well they're
2:31:23
gonna take their profits from these
2:31:24
movies and give them to some rights
2:31:26
organizations they're not actually
2:31:27
pulling out completely as some others
2:31:29
claim but super action is in Alabama
2:31:32
mm-hmm where they're just gonna make
2:31:34
abortions illegal and this is supposed
2:31:36
to be the lead-in to the eventual
2:31:39
supposedly I don't know what's really
2:31:40
going on there but I have a clip ok cuz
2:31:45
I have the question questions about this
2:31:47
let's listen to the clip first Alabama
2:31:49
State Senate delayed a vote Thursday on
2:31:51
a law that would ban virtually all
2:31:53
abortions after a rancorous floor debate
2:31:55
that saw lawmakers repeatedly shout in
2:31:57
protest the bill would make providing an
2:32:00
abortion a Class A felony punishable by
2:32:02
up to 99 years in prison
2:32:04
Alabama Senate Minority Leader bobby
2:32:06
singleton objected after Republican
2:32:08
leaders sought to remove amendments from
2:32:10
the abortion
2:32:11
that would have allowed exemptions in
2:32:13
cases of rape or incest and other
2:32:25
Democrats also protested when Republican
2:32:28
leaders attempted to pass amendments on
2:32:31
a voice vote they demanded a roll call
2:32:33
so that lawmakers votes would be put on
2:32:36
the record this is andrea miller
2:32:38
president of the national institute of
2:32:40
reproductive health i mean the reality
2:32:42
is what happened in the alabama senate
2:32:44
just shows how high the stakes are right
2:32:46
now when a state is planning to ban all
2:32:49
abortions outright and not only
2:32:51
eliminate access to abortion care for
2:32:54
the people in their state but in an
2:32:56
effort to eliminate it for everyone all
2:32:58
across the country because they hope
2:32:59
they'll be the ones to bring the case to
2:33:01
the supreme court that will overturn or
2:33:04
severely eviscerate roe versus wade yeah
2:33:07
i think they're a long way from doing
2:33:09
that with these although it's light slaw
2:33:11
this heartbeat bill which I read through
2:33:14
because I'm very interested in the topic
2:33:15
and you know it completely flies in the
2:33:18
in the face of the privacy of Roe versus
2:33:23
Wade so I don't think that in actuality
2:33:25
it will do much but yeah yeah what
2:33:28
eventually happens is the access you
2:33:30
have to go out of state and that's
2:33:32
definitely a problem I know by you job
2:33:35
I'm proud killing people I think it just
2:33:38
to be televised that's that's the only
2:33:40
beef I have about it I think you know
2:33:41
you put people on death row we kill them
2:33:43
great you got to televise it this should
2:33:45
be the same but I'm confused about the
2:33:48
numbers we have birth control and it's
2:33:55
very effective 100 and it's 99.9%
2:33:57
effective multiple different kinds of
2:33:59
ways it's and it's mainly these ninety
2:34:02
nine percent for women deal with the
2:34:05
problem after all it's their body I
2:34:08
don't understand this these high numbers
2:34:12
about five because I looked it up I was
2:34:13
over the weekend about five percent of
2:34:17
all women per year I have an unwanted
2:34:19
pregnancy forty percent of those are
2:34:23
african-american
2:34:24
represent 6% of the population so that's
2:34:27
very high my question is why and it's
2:34:32
not really answer that there's some NIH
2:34:34
studies but why do people become
2:34:37
pregnant when they don't want to and I
2:34:40
don't even know how to formulate the
2:34:41
question it's an onion they call it
2:34:43
unintended pregnancy as an unintended
2:34:46
didn't want to get pregnant didn't want
2:34:48
to have the baby so are is his access to
2:34:52
contraception too controversial not
2:34:55
available too expensive why why is why
2:34:58
is this option being chosen with you
2:35:01
know AB reasonably high frequency I
2:35:05
don't know
2:35:06
the only answer any well the only answer
2:35:08
I get from the NIH is education
2:35:10
the less educated you are and the less
2:35:16
and the poorer you are the more chance
2:35:17
that you're going to have an unintended
2:35:20
pregnancy I still just don't I mean so
2:35:23
that means that again with education
2:35:25
just needs to be be better or are there
2:35:28
other reasons I'm just looking for its
2:35:30
high I find this number high and we have
2:35:32
so many different ways to stop unwanted
2:35:36
pregnancy upfront no one no one has this
2:35:40
talk you know it's all about the the
2:35:41
baby killing part and the choice or life
2:35:44
or whatever but what is the root cause
2:35:48
and you don't know either I guess I
2:35:50
don't have a clue yeah but it's simple
2:35:53
education or people don't care they're
2:35:55
careless there's a lot of carelessness
2:35:57
or there's just a pad the heat of the
2:35:59
moment and who knows I mean it's just I
2:36:02
don't know I'm out of the group that's
2:36:04
involved with this I mean the only thing
2:36:06
that I can think about after and I
2:36:09
really have put that it's in the show
2:36:10
not to put some study into it of
2:36:12
unintended pregnancies and and to have
2:36:14
it's one of various surveyed a lot but
2:36:17
the answers all they say as well here
2:36:19
the groups who have it more often but is
2:36:21
it possible that we're so shattered
2:36:24
certainly the african-american African
2:36:27
Americans who historically really ever
2:36:32
since the welfare state came into being
2:36:34
the real welfare our fatherless
2:36:38
families I have this fear that there are
2:36:42
a lot of black women who feel like okay
2:36:46
I'm gonna have a child with this guy my
2:36:47
baby daddy you know you hear them all -
2:36:49
my baby daddy it's this whole cultural
2:36:51
thing and it's not just black but this
2:36:53
is where we're hearing it the baby daddy
2:36:56
and maybe he'll stay with me and it's
2:36:58
almost used like a like a like a like a
2:37:01
bond between a wishful bond and then it
2:37:05
doesn't happen the baby daddy leaves
2:37:06
like I'm not want to get rid of the kid
2:37:08
that's it feels like that maybe some of
2:37:11
it and it can be black or white but just
2:37:13
the numbers say African American women
2:37:15
40% of all abortions and this and now
2:37:18
we're just looking at the unintended
2:37:19
once unintended pregnancies I know it's
2:37:22
this is the stuff I'd like to understand
2:37:25
mate I'm sure we have people in
2:37:26
producers who cannot get all the best
2:37:29
well no but we can discuss that if our
2:37:31
producers to point us in the right
2:37:32
direction REITs and producers notes but
2:37:34
we have no nothing real information
2:37:36
absolutely nothing but yeah other other
2:37:41
than everyone just going apeshit over
2:37:42
this is there nothing about it in the
2:37:45
Muller report no I didn't see anything
2:37:48
about in the Mulla report I got another
2:37:53
news story that we didn't get any we
2:37:54
have no information but this hasn't been
2:37:56
covered by anybody who's our new defense
2:37:58
secretary do you know what's his name
2:37:59
yeah isn't it the junior guy who came in
2:38:02
the
2:38:03
the the undersecretary guy I think it
2:38:06
might be what's the nice to know you
2:38:09
know this is president important job
2:38:11
what's the clip president Trump's
2:38:15
nominated Patrick Shanahan to become the
2:38:17
next Secretary of Defense and has been
2:38:19
acting the Pentagon chief since Trump
2:38:22
fired James Madison the start of the
2:38:24
Year last month an internal Pentagon
2:38:26
ethics investigation cleared Shanahan
2:38:28
following accusations he unfairly
2:38:30
favored the weapons contractor Boeing
2:38:32
where he spent over three decades as an
2:38:35
executive yes but we talked about him
2:38:41
because he was the Boeing guy that's
2:38:43
yeah we discussed this I have two clips
2:38:45
to to media related clips the first one
2:38:50
is it's only the intro to an interview
2:38:53
with Matt Taibbi Matt Taibbi I like a
2:38:55
lot of journalists he writes for Rolling
2:38:56
Stone or wrote for Rolling Stone and
2:38:58
then I think he moved to the intercept
2:39:01
and he said he left the intercept he
2:39:04
left the intercept me I was right he
2:39:05
went back anyway because he found it to
2:39:07
be actually had a phone conversation
2:39:09
with him and I asked him about the
2:39:11
intercept thing and he just thought it
2:39:13
was just a disorganized well maybe it
2:39:15
was at the time it seems to be a lot
2:39:17
better now yeah you don't know no you
2:39:20
don't anyway he has a book called if you
2:39:22
seen Taibbi recently he doesn't shave
2:39:25
the head with unfortunate it's not
2:39:28
shaved he's looking a little scraggly
2:39:31
scraggly yeah there's a book out called
2:39:34
hate ink and I have not read it yet but
2:39:37
he went on to the only place he can can
2:39:40
get on that his news related his on
2:39:43
Russia today he can't get with Chris
2:39:45
Hedges can't get anything else and I
2:39:48
just wanted to play only the intro that
2:39:51
Chris Hedges did before the interview
2:39:53
because it kind of neatly sums up what's
2:39:55
in the book and I think it's gonna be an
2:39:56
interesting read welcome back to part
2:39:58
two of our discussion of the decay that
2:40:00
has beset American journalism with Matt
2:40:02
Taibbi the author of hate incorporated
2:40:05
how and why the media makes us hate one
2:40:07
another last week we discussed the
2:40:09
shattering of the old forms of media
2:40:11
manipulation and the rise of a new
2:40:14
a landscape built around demographic
2:40:16
silos that sell in her nest seen
2:40:19
conflict the result Taibbi points out is
2:40:21
a bifurcated public that is addicted to
2:40:24
hating each other this new media
2:40:26
landscape still manufactures consent but
2:40:29
by setting group against group a
2:40:32
consumer version of what George Orwell
2:40:34
in 1984 called the two minutes of hate
2:40:37
our opinions and prejudices are
2:40:39
skillfully catered to and reinforced
2:40:42
aided by a detailed digital analysis of
2:40:45
our proclivities and habits and sold
2:40:48
back to us
2:40:49
it is Taibbi rights packaged anger just
2:40:52
for you
2:40:53
the result is political impotence a
2:40:55
fractured and disempowered public
2:40:58
crippled by hate and fear and mesmerized
2:41:01
by the fake dissent of the culture wars
2:41:03
and conspiracy theories rather than
2:41:06
genuine dissent the moral swamp is
2:41:09
fertile soil for demagogues such as
2:41:12
Donald Trump who is a creation of this
2:41:14
media burlesque and feeds our emerging
2:41:18
corporate totalitarianism and that's why
2:41:21
you should not only listen to but also
2:41:23
support the No Agenda show because
2:41:26
that's exactly what's out there you
2:41:27
don't even have to listen to the
2:41:28
interview very Slendy of course it was
2:41:34
gracious as they had known the socialist
2:41:36
congratulate he should be at Starbucks
2:41:39
tweeting from his macbook so we have the
2:41:44
trade we're going on another another
2:41:47
interesting little tidbit was on
2:41:49
Democracy Now which I never heard any
2:41:51
place else which is the France the
2:41:54
French are having you besides having
2:41:56
their yellow still ongoing and six
2:41:58
months now 26 weeks is the the 26
2:42:02
weekend it's still going now they got a
2:42:04
Yemen protest going on in France in
2:42:07
northern France human rights activists
2:42:09
are attempting to block authorities from
2:42:10
loading French weapons onto a Saudi
2:42:12
vessel saying the shipment would be used
2:42:15
to kill civilians in Yemen and violation
2:42:17
of an international arms we were holes
2:42:20
in that deal treaty about a hundred
2:42:22
protesters turned out Thursday at the
2:42:24
port of love ahead
2:42:26
the arrival of the Saudi ship as lawyers
2:42:28
for two separate human rights groups
2:42:30
sued to prevent the shipment the protest
2:42:32
came after a French news site reported
2:42:35
French made tanks and laser-guided
2:42:37
missile systems were being used by the
2:42:39
saudi-led coalition against civilians in
2:42:42
Yemen's war this is John Paula cook a
2:42:44
member of the French National Assembly
2:42:46
who joined Thursday's protests on public
2:42:48
yeah oh yeah men this is the war in
2:42:51
Yemen is a difficult war we are turned
2:42:53
into supporters of Saudi Arabia and if
2:42:55
we the French citizens do not act if we
2:42:57
don't try to stop arms sales we will end
2:42:59
up as accessories to this business we
2:43:01
don't want this we don't want to be in
2:43:03
this situation I wonder this is miss
2:43:07
French yeah I can get them a lot of
2:43:09
props so how how was that intertwined
2:43:12
well actually let me play my my yellow
2:43:15
vests a clip because this is what I
2:43:17
heard was going on but maybe the two
2:43:19
word intertwined or half of the people
2:43:21
went over to the Yemen protest heavy
2:43:24
rain kept the number of yellow vest
2:43:25
demonstrators down in Paris as the
2:43:28
movement marked the 26th consecutive
2:43:30
weekend of protests organizers were
2:43:33
hoping to regain the momentum following
2:43:35
a record low turnout last weekend
2:43:37
the government says fewer than 19,000
2:43:40
people turned out nationwide
2:43:42
although organizers said this was
2:43:44
because of major Mayday demonstrations
2:43:46
earlier in the week a bit too wide this
2:43:49
weekend's protests big demonstrations
2:43:52
were planned in the regional cities of
2:43:53
Leo Anant and to lose more than 5,000
2:43:57
people were expected at the Leon rally
2:43:59
court to protest against plans to
2:44:01
privatize public services Saturday's
2:44:04
rallies come two weeks before European
2:44:06
Parliament elections when more protests
2:44:09
are planned the movement began last
2:44:11
November as a protest over the plan
2:44:13
rises in fuel tax he grew into a wider
2:44:16
campaign of grievances against
2:44:18
government policies
2:44:19
yeah mind you urine news is not to be
2:44:21
trusted no notice they don't mention
2:44:23
what the tax was about oh just a fuel
2:44:25
tax no it was the climate change fuel
2:44:28
tax yes and so that that no longer is
2:44:32
nobody wants to talk about it no I have
2:44:34
a climate change thing but I move that
2:44:36
over to Thursday
2:44:38
right because it yeah is an interesting
2:44:40
theory that I was listening to and I
2:44:41
think it might fit a little bit it
2:44:43
helped us understand more what's going
2:44:45
on or what can be done or what can't be
2:44:47
done
2:44:48
Greta Thornburg now tweeting that we
2:44:51
really have to start we don't really
2:44:53
have five years Oh would you be dead
2:44:55
five years because of climate change no
2:44:57
she says if we don't have substantial
2:44:59
things underway in five years then
2:45:01
forget your 10 year mark it's not gonna
2:45:03
happen she got a PhD in this what is the
2:45:05
deal she got braids man drug prices
2:45:11
rigged to have this clip okay this is
2:45:14
lawyers are crooked
2:45:16
the attorneys general of 43 states filed
2:45:18
a lawsuit today accusing 19 generic drug
2:45:20
companies and more than a dozen
2:45:21
executives of price-fixing
2:45:23
generic drugs should cost much less than
2:45:26
the brand-name drugs they copy but that
2:45:28
is not always the case
2:45:29
there's Bill Whitaker of 60 minutes
2:45:32
it's an industry-wide conspiracy and I
2:45:36
think it answers one of the biggest
2:45:39
questions all of us are asking which is
2:45:41
why are prescription drugs so expensive
2:45:43
and I think we know why now because the
2:45:46
prices of generic drugs are fixed and
2:45:48
there's a widespread conspiracy to rig
2:45:51
the marketing Connecticut Attorney
2:45:52
General William Tong says his office
2:45:55
found evidence of price-fixing by dozens
2:45:58
of generic drug industry sales directors
2:46:00
marketers CEOs dating back to 2006 how
2:46:05
many drugs are we talking about hundreds
2:46:07
hundreds of drugs what kinds of drugs
2:46:09
every kind of drug that touches our
2:46:12
everyday lives I'll give an example
2:46:14
though this is my bottle of doxycycline
2:46:18
it is a common antibiotic that I take
2:46:22
every day for a skin condition and
2:46:24
there's a conspiracy around doxycycline
2:46:27
and so sitting here today as the
2:46:29
Attorney General the state of
2:46:30
Connecticut I'm one of the victims
2:46:32
doxycycline makes kids nuts doesn't it
2:46:34
no no it's just recycling oh your
2:46:38
version panics okay all right give us
2:46:45
something happy to leave the show I want
2:46:49
Chelsea Manning's out I think the
2:46:51
Manning update nobody talks about her
2:46:53
being out of jail wait a minute I saw
2:46:55
her on I think she was on CNN this
2:46:58
morning but she dad was it was an
2:47:01
exclusive that exclusive but okay in
2:47:05
Northern Virginia famed US Army
2:47:08
whistleblower Chelsea Manning was
2:47:09
released from a federal prison Thursday
2:47:11
after spending 62 days behind bars for
2:47:15
refusing to testify to a grand jury
2:47:17
Manning had been subpoenaed to answer
2:47:19
questions about her leaked of hundreds
2:47:22
of thousands of Secrets State Department
2:47:24
and pentagon documents to Wikileaks
2:47:26
including evidence of u.s. war crimes
2:47:28
the grand jury ultimately disbanded
2:47:31
Manning's freedom could be short-lived
2:47:33
her lawyers said in a statement she will
2:47:35
again refuse to testify in response to a
2:47:37
separate subpoena yeah I'll get the I'll
2:47:40
get the CNN interview for Thursday if
2:47:42
