Dream Team and broadcasting
live from
opportunity zone 33 here in the
frontier
Boston Texas capital the drone
star
state in the morning everybody
I'm Adam curry man from
northern Silicon
Valley where every was singing
and
thinking the same thing go
Niners I'm
John C Dvorak only guy know who
chokes
on his own name
John C de Voort you want to do
it over
are you happy with your
performance
I did a joke on my own name
that must
have been a glitch in the in
the Skype
oh okay I must have been it
well sorry
there you go yes go for it so
do we have
the final teams for the
Superbowl
finally do we know we don't Oh
today we have the two games
today the
Championships are the two
conferences
and the winners those two
winners go to
the Super Bowl a couple of
weeks okay so
who are the possible choices
just so I
can call it now and be done
with it
oh well you have the San
Francisco 49ers
yeah and they're playing I
don't know
who they're playing cuz it's
really not
a team that can beat them let
me think
well they're playing somebody
okay and
then you have the Kansas City
Chiefs
playing the Tennessee Titans
okay I
think that's right oh no no the
Niners
that sir I'm looking at the
chat room
the Niners are playing the team
from
Green Bay go go Packers
okay so you didn't get me any
information okay you got the
Green Bay
Packers of San Francisco 49ers
the
Kansas City Chiefs the
Tennessee Titans
those two the four took that
the Titans
for the win they take it all
why why
question these things I am from
the
future normally that's a
political
economic reason that you make
these
selections just just no no no
no I'm
just guessing now once we get
to the
final two we can do the
political
economic reasons this is just a
gut
feeling
okay well I'll be lucky to get
past
Kansas City but no will I ever
know they
there are they're kind of a
surprise
team to the lowest seeded of
the hold
for some it's time they got as
far as an
underdog underdog time I would
like to
welcome the brand-new listeners
from New
York City to the No Agenda
family
as the way we guided affiliate
New York
now finally there was there was
an
important dinner last night
here in
Austin ah yes this was the
former New
York banker it was his wife's
birthday
and they celebrated this in the
brand
new hotel in Austin the proper
which I
believe several of the
attendees had
invested in so this was like the
investors have a dinner at the
hotel
that's brand new can you
imagine what
that was like
sounds like a lot of cigars and
booze no
but the the New York former
bank and his
wife they are there you know
it's the
kind of like the welcoming
committee to
New York and anyone who moves
from New
York to Austin you know they
always told
all you got it you got to hook
up with
those guys and I will say they
connect
everybody and they you know so
they're
maybe eight nine or eight
couples there
last night
all of them between 40 and 50
all very
successful everyone's still
working no
one retired women - no trophy
wives and
all MSNBC viewers so this yes
yes yes so
however I have kind of good
news what
I've noticed is that these
obviously
very busy people and you know
they're
they're just active in their
businesses
they clearly use MSNBC as a
guide as you
know as their guides through
the morass
of news once I was kind of able
to hit
him in the mouth a bit they
were all
extremely surprised with the
information
I had and very open to it
actually there
was no that's unusual yes and I
don't
know if this is a trend yeah I
think it
may be because people are so
tired of
years and years of this bull
crap in the
media and so the keeper was on
the other
side you know with of course
strategic
placements we weren't sitting
together
and she was across the table
and at a
certain point one of someone
next to her
gentleman said yeah I think
Adam Schiff
is a really good upstanding
politician
that was the funniest line of
the night
and of course the keeper is
like really
what and but everybody was open
to to
alternative information and
once they
they figured out that I was the
pod
father oh okay well now now
everyone of
course had to tell me what their
favorite shows were which are
pretty
much universally the daily
which is the
the New York Times daily I
understand
that a lot of MS
dc's renamed it the Gailey
MSNBC John
really I'm trying to make
friends here
um go and so you and so next to
me is a
young woman from New York and
she's only
been in Austin a short amount
of time
huge Howard Stern fan say uh
this is an
opportunity for me now at now I
may be
able to you know get a listener
here say
well yeah I was I've been in
your live
in New York from listeners 15
years
I love Stern I said be now ever
since he
got the serious he has changed
a little
bit and I think the new wife
Beth I
think has turned him a little
soft yeah
yep yeah did you hear the
interview
between Howard and Hillary
Clinton I
said well of course I did
that's prime
material for our show he says
how
fantastic as yes it was really
fantastic
and I said you know she's gonna
run that
was the best thing I could have
said all
night just what no say yeah
absolutely
said it's all in the cards it's
all set
up we've been predicting it
just like we
predicted the Pope anyway John
I think
we have a lot of new listeners
who would
be very very surprised to hear
oh no
don't say 0 it was a it was a
really
good evening Danna and again I
have to
say I love the openness and
it's to me
it just proved that yeah people
just
listen you know and o11 general
was like
Rachel Maddow's you cannot
she's so good
at the facts and like no I
wouldn't say
that I'm positive man what a big
optimist exactly that was nice
well I
figured you know there maybe
maybe they
learn something if they catch
one show
and we'll see him at the next
dinner
that's the next birthday dinner
we'll do
it all over the wall moved from
New York
yeah they've all me yep from
New York
from Manhattan some
financed some healthcare some
other dude
they run a witness protection
program
actually I think it may be a
form of
that it's not it's not a you
know it's
very plausible it's like hey
man if it's
getting a little hot and in the
city
move on over to Austin we'll
take care
of you no worries
Wow no worries yeah now I'm
betting that
these people are still afraid
of guns
they haven't seen enough of
them yet so
that's very you know there's
some fear
there understandable if you're
coming
from New York so I'll talk to
you next
to you get used to it
yeah well hmm what else did you
learn
Yuma I still learned some
couple of
things going on that were
besides the
politics of the New York
bankers all
being into MSNBC and probably
all Trump
haters no I don't think well I
don't
think they were this is this is
what the
big thing that I learned the
takeaway
was I think they're just tired
of if
they were Trump haters
none of it showed there was
actually not
a single no one said anything
that I
heard the whole evening about
orange man
bad or any of that truly just
like I
mean if I had actually asked
hey what do
you think hold on stop I don't
want to
interrupt your flow but is it
possible
that what you were witnessing
is a bunch
of very satisfied folks that
weren't
gonna be bashing on Trump
because they
know he's done he's gone he's
through no
no in fact I don't think so
because one
of the guys in architect and
neo he's
building out in East Austin and
I said
well that's great because you
got the
opportunity zone
oh yeah that's fantastic that's
the best
thing we got this great tax
breaks oh
you mean the Trump tax break
what yes
though it's the opportunity
zones yeah
who do you think did that now I
I don't
think I don't think that the I
it felt
to me like everyone's just
tired of it
they'll watch Rachel maybe a
little
watch Morning Joe there's some
definite
Morning Joe viewers brother oh
yeah mika
brzezinski is great i said she
was
better when her dad was alive
you know
did that made more sense to
make fun of
her yeah but no one no one
pushed back
nah I have a good I have a good
feeling
about it it means that it means
that
people have just been beaten
down and
now their minds are I think
kind of open
for change or different ideas
that I'm
not trying to change anyone
from their
political persuasions but just
maybe a
little less on the derangement
side you
know it's like let's just chill
down
it's not all nuts which is what
I
consistently explained that's
what we do
we try to keep you healthy now
feeling
good listen tomorrow is what I
said so I
expect them all to be here
okay and Australia you had a
note couple
notes yeah several notes I've
got
actually let me I have a little
other
clip to play and that will get
us
started a major storm system
has brought
valuable rain to drought
affected parts
of Australia's East but it's
also caused
flash flooding on major roads a
cleanup
is now underway in many areas
as the
heavy rain moves on to the
North South
Wales Mid North Coast it's hard
not to
smile seeing the happiness on
this
farmers face heavy rain
drenching
drought stricken parts of the
country's
East also helping to dampen
fire zones
the downpours being celebrated
in our
regional centres but it's
created some
chaos in the cities in South
East
Queensland severe storms
triggered
widespread flash flooding 330
millimeters of rain has been
recorded at
loader Creek on the Gold Coast
where the
SES has responded to more than
100 calls
for assistance the deluge so
great it
closed not only at the Pacific
motorway
for six hours but also
themeparks wet
and wild and movie World shop
for the
day as the water levels rose
zookeepers
using brooms to try to keep
alligators
in their enclosures and wading
through
the water to rescue koalas all
the 100
millimeters of rain has been
recorded at
bhandara in the Northern
Tablelands
and for the first time in five
years
water flowed through a creek in
a
drought stricken regional town
once
again Australia you're welcome
well I got a note from a friend
that was
the biggest squeak I've heard
your chair
make yet much as I was leaned
waiting I
was enjoying the clit okay yeah
I also
got my volume cranked way yeah
yeah
that's good it's sounding
fantastic
thanks for this show it keeps me
entertained this from Neville I
have to
cry or laugh as most
politicians in both
our countries focus on anything
as long
as it's not to the benefit of
the voters
thanks for the rain it's been a
big help
to Australia and not just a New
South
Wales the climate change faith
fought /
faith followers has attacked
our prime
minister for the fires it's his
fault
as he does not do enough to
change the
climate crisis this is even
though our
own scientists cannot say
there's a
direct link and have publicly
said so
the Greenies will also not
admit they
have some responsibility build
up a fuel
an opportunity for fires about
15 or 20
years ago they pushed greeny
policies
through state and local
governments
slowed or stopped back burning
hello
yeah yeah closing roads and
reduced
management of national parks
impose
imposing huge fines on farmer
managing
their own fire risk and
preventing
clearing trees and growth near
housing
estates yeah they also will not
recognize most fires are
started by
people often on purpose and
some by
accident anyway go and prepare
as heaven
forbid at his summer and
Australian
isn't likely to warm and it's
likely to
warm up again uh he wants an
it's true
for this economic yes now so I'm
watching Cristina Amanpour and
she's got
some Aussie on there and she's
arguing
that he's arguing that climate
change
didn't cause these fires and he
kind of
makes the same points are that
Neville
here is making which is that's
mismanagement they've let it
happen
yeah even even the Aborigines
say hey
you know we didn't have this
happen when
we were in charge of everything
here
because we knew what to do we do
we'd take care we'd set little
fires
keep stuff smoldering all
summer long so
we had to kind of contained
yeah you
have to do this in these areas
so this
guy's arguing with Christina
Amanpour
who's going on and on with every
litanies 97% of all scientists
how can
you say such a thing and she's
just all
all-in she's a witch we'll
discuss later
in the show a true believer and
this guy
says here's the problem that
we're
really starting to witness now
people
don't want to do anything to
prevent
fires anymore because it's so
much
easier to just blame climbs
yeah that
makes sense I was all-in with
this guy
what he said yeah well its
climate
change this fall okay well we
just have
to do something about that and
we won't
it won't have these fires
anymore and
okay you know bit well that's
the same
that's the same in California
yes that's
the same in California it's the
same
attitude essentially yes in
California
has the same series of prods
lot like
when I when I was working for
their
pollution disagree we would
have burnt
these burn days I mean was
always
carefully calculated when you
did I'm so
you wouldn't have an inversion
layer but
you'd have a burn day and they
burn off
up the Solano County burn it to
the
ground pretty much under
controlled
circumstances you never have
these these
problems you wouldn't have
paradise the
whole city burning to the
ground does
that happen so so we came to
the rescue
and is there's just no denying
that we
operated the rain sticks these
are high
precision instruments they are
they're
from Utah made by Sherry
Osborne these
things are official they are
they are
the real deal you I believe
keep yours
in the gun case during the day
unsafe
gun safe I'm sorry even better
gun case
a gun safe to make sure there's
no
illegal uses you don't want
anyone
grabbing it or something you
who god
knows what would happen because
we
should we shook our sticks and
if there
was about three day delay which
of
course part of that is just the
time
difference with Australia the
speed of
light but also when people are
listening
to the show people download the
PS
unload the podcast you know
that's
exactly my point is that
there's some delayed reaction
and
response in certain areas based
upon one
people download and listen to
the show
that proceed perf uncas in
Indiana
he says Sunday I wanted to send
you a
little port from the region a
episode
behinds his crib uh he said
three days
ago I listened to the rain
stick episode
and for the next two days we
had rain in
Highland Indiana my hypothesis
he says
is that some of the power of
the rain
stick is stored in the audio
and then
released when someone plays the
episode
which would explain why when
you shake
them on air you're getting
blowback in
other places I think it's
completely
true and I know it sounds crazy
but
every single time when asked to
shake
the rain sticks it rains where
it's
supposed to rain and this was
that was
the five months of draught all
of a
sudden two podcaster step in
but a bing
bada boom
um yeah that's where we've done
it
before but it also causes
problems
locally and elsewhere yeah it
does know
we had pretty crappy weather
and I just
heard all of New York - now -
yes okay
they're gone
staying with the green new deal
George
Monbiot I've just got your joke
there
George George Monbiot who is he
is he
just a columnist or is he he's
made his
room is he's a columnist
activist yeah
oh yeah the large is a major
major
socialist right and he writes
for The
Guardian and he has covered a
lot of the
the climate crisis and the
green new
deal and he was interviewed in
a talk
show in the UK and I need to
play this
because this is I think a lot
of people
follow his thinking a lot of
people will
follow him he has a following
he's been
around for a long time I think
he's very
popular in in these types of
circles and
here he explains what we really
need to
do and it then it's right down
the line
agenda 21 what we really need
to do in
order to save the earth
what would you say people should
different different thing I
mean what we
have to do is the big structural
political economic stuff you
know what
what we're being told to do is
change
your cotton buds and all these
sort of
pathetic micro consumerist
bollocks
which just isn't gonna get us
anywhere
you know there are two things
you can do
as a consumers do make change
switch to
a plant-based diet that's one
big change
animal farming has this massive
environmental yes another one
stop
flying but stop eating meat
stop flying
these are number one will live
in a cave
shaming another one stop flying
yeah but
but beyond that actually
everything we
have to do is change the system
we have
to overthrow this system which
is eating
the planet I mean since when
was GDP a
sensible measure of human
welfare and
everything that governments
want to do
is to try to boost GDP now
people like
the OECD or the World Bank so
we're not
asking for a lot of growth just
3% a
year that means doubling in 24
years
yeah we're bursting through all
the
environmental boundaries and
screwing
the planet already you want to
double it
double all that double it again
keep
doubling it it's madness we've
got to
find a better way of measuring
human
welfare than perpetual growth
we've got
to start ramping down all
fossil fuel
production and leave fossil
fuels in the
ground and at the same time and
this is
a nice bit of it it turns out
that
through massive rewilding
ecological
restoration you can draw down a
low the
carbon dioxide we've already
produced
huge amounts allowing the
forests to
come back the marshes to come
back
I think this rewilding that's
the get
everybody to live in the cities
thing
it's like everybody live in the
city so
we can keep an eye on you and
control
you and then we'll rewilding
else rhe
wild to draw down a low the
carbon
dioxide we've already produced
huge
amounts allowing the forests to
come
back the marshes to come back
the
seafloor to recover from
trawling and
stuff they draw down carbon
dioxide and
can take us a long way towards
stopping
climate breakdown at the same
time as
stopping ecological breakdown
there's
time but we can't do it by just
pissing
around at the margins of the
problem
we've got to go straight to the
heart of
capitalism and overthrow it
right overthrow capitalism and
we're
done that's all we need to do
along with
stop eating meat and rhe wild
yeah that guy that guy indeed
we just move we're gonna talk
about this
a Muslim moves to this clip
this is a
guy that was on one of the one
of the
kind of quasi right wing talk
shows on
the radio where they like to
get guys on
her it's kind of nuts and this
guy's
been doing this for a long time
this is
less you night get it less you
know
that's his real name less you
know okay
alright that's his name though
and as
her name he uses and he's on
the dory
Monson show
and here's a clip lime it's
activists in
Portland has come up with a
solution for
improving the environment he
would like
to see the human race
eradicated his
name is les Knight and he said
that he
has concluded the best thing
for the
planet would be a peaceful
phase-out of
human existence well I knew I
had to
talk to this guy so let me
welcome
lessons that's such a disc
jockey well I
had the Dori Monson show hello
les
doriga glad to hear from ya
yeah I don't
really I think eradicate is the
wrong
word I know that some news
sources are
saying that but they're peaceful
phase-out it wouldn't be an
eradication
that's what we're trying to
avoid okay
so a peaceful phase-out meaning
what now
I know that you had for example
it
sounds like you got yourself a
vasectomy
many years ago because you
didn't want
to have to population is that
right that
is correct yes and so many
people are
telling me lately
you go first and I'm saying
okay I did
now holy shit I just had a
great idea
this makes so much sense
why no this that that is the
fix this is
to solve climate change forced
vasectomy
vasectomies hold on I think you
made it
you've made a philosophical
blunder
there
I don't think you have to force
it yeah
yes I here you go okay all
right so tell
me about this why why do you
think earth
would be better off if mankind
was not a
part of it well everywhere that
we have
left
has flourished even turn oval
which we
can't go to for you know twenty
four
thousand years because of the
radiation
all the other species that we
had wiped
out from their bears and how
boars all
sorts of things are coming back
why
would we care about other
animals more
than we care about mankind well
it's
equal doesn't have to be more
than we
are causing the sixth great
extinction
hundreds of thousands species
are going
extinct because of us and if we
phase
ourselves out we won't
voluntarily we
won't go in voluntarily in the
great
collapse that is bound to come
if we
continue causing extinctions of
other
species now there's not going
to be any
great collapse I think you're
right what
if what did what a great idea
because
there's so many men who are so
willing
to virtue signal and show that
they're
on board not just with with
women and
and bringing more equality but
also to
save the earth
yeah I think you're nuts off
movement
well no wait wait let's let's
work on it
let's work on a little bit of a
campaigning here for a second
we need a
chant so ho ho ho your balls
have got to
go hey hey let's do something a
little
more subtle don't be daft don't
be silly
save the earth snip your willy
let's get in there he's getting
they
will work on it okay but this
brought me
to an interesting little aside
I did a
little research this guy I
looked him up
and he's about 72 or so and he
said he
had hmmm hmm okay you already
know where
I'm going well you think he's
shooting
blanks at this point he had a
vasectomy
at 24
oh geez not like he just got a
vasectomy
and but that was Wow so he
didn't just
get one that's the whole point
well this
is what but this is what is
interesting
because I think there's a lot
of guys
like this out there because if
you look
at the time line when he got his
vasectomy with according to my
calculations the population boom
probably exactly he got his
vasectomy
around 1974 based on the
numbers which
Kate and Paul Ehrlich's book
came out in
68 and that was the first salvo
and then
the Club of Rome which I
mentioned
earlier to you comes along and
they they
came along and they performed
in 68 and
in 72 they came out with their
first
report I call the economic
growth or
limits to growth and then they
came over
the second report which after
limits to
growth got mankind at the
turning point
and they were promoting the end
of the
world if anyone remembers and
it's old
enough I should brief you on
this they
were promoting the end of the
world in
the year 2000 because we're
gonna run
out of resources and we have
too many
people and that would be the
time to get
a vasectomy and to be clear to
be clear
a lot at the end of the world
population
bomb was as big a deal in the
media then
as climate changes today
almost exactly the same yeah we
had less
usually I want him just to
reiterate
that this had a lot this this
notion
which I believe resulted I
think there's
a lot of people out there that
are
gullible I'm gonna use the word
gullible
yeah probably
and so they're in a situation
because
they're so stupid and gullible
that they
had to they got clipped I in
their in
their 20s and and I want to
read this
little tidbit from a as an
abstract from
other the publication social
biology
performed and refused vasectomy
a decade
of waning popularity and
increasing
awareness of safety family and
overt is
the abstract Family Planning
clinics and
a random sample of private
physicians
throughout the US were surveyed
in 1972
and 84 to learn the incidence of
performed and refused vasectomy
and to
discern attitudinal change over
time
toward delayed physical and
psychological sequelae related
to
vasectomy that means after
effects
Dana showed that after a
dramatic rise
in pop dramatic it would hit
this is the
key word here yeah a dramatic
rise
popularity in the early 1970s
well the incidence has fallen
significantly in the
intervening years
and then they tried to figure
out why
this was and they said the
greatest
decrease was reported by
physicians they
think it was the physicians
print
election to practice defensive
medicine
because you get sued every time
somebody's balls swole up this
to me is
mama right after the climate
crisis
which brought me to the third
point
which is a book that should be
in our
reading list okay it came out in
nineteen fifty one called the
true to
true believer and I'll read a
little bit
who wrote this who was mera
coffer Eric
coffer was a kind of a lecturer
and a
longshoreman who's called a
longshoreman
philosopher he did a whole
bunch of
books a whole bunch and they're
all very
readable but the true believer
that came
out 51 used to be standard
reading in
colleges
because there was a problem
with kids
that were gullible hmm
gullible strauss believer was a
correctional tome it was
printed to stop
they stopped printing in 2002
so it was
on the market for 21 years and
then they
you know who needs it but let
me just
read a couple of things here
offer
analyzes this is from Ricky
Hoffer
analyzes and attempts to
explain the
motives of the various types of
personalities that give rise to
mass
movements why and how mass
movements
start progress and end and the
similarities between them where
the
religious political radical or
reactionary argues that even
when their
stated goals or values differ
mass
movements are interchangeable
MMN adherents will often flip
from one
movement to the other and we
saw that
with the you know the climate
free zoo
the world's gonna freeze the
same people
yep went from from a new ice
age is
coming to we're all gonna die
in a fiery
hell and that the motivations
for mass
movements are interchangeable
thus
religious nationalists and
social
movements where the radical or
reactionary tend to attract the
same
type of followers same type of
followers
believe in the same way in the
same
tactics and theoretical tools
they use
the same tactics as examples and
examples and I shouldn't
mention just
part of the part one a little
synopsis
he says mass move us begin with
a
widespread desire for change
from
discontented people who placed
their
locus of control outside their
power and
who also have no confidence in
existing
culture or traditions feeling
their
lives are irredeemably
irredeemably
spoiled oh you've ruined my
childhood
exactly and believing there's
no hope
for advancement oh we're all
gonna die
or satisfaction as an
individual true
believers seek self
renunciation thus
such people are ripe to
participate in a
movement that that offers the
option of
subsuming their individual
lives in a
larger collective and that's
exactly
what we're witnessing with
climate
gee I think you've nailed it I
think
that is I mean the clip was not
clip of
the day worthy but this analysis
certainly was and it's perfect
it's a
perfect time to shame men into
doing
this
get the climate back snip your
sack I
mean there's a million things
we can
come over
[Music]
push the climate back it's easy
snip
your sack I mean that's just as
so many
we can do yeah and then I sniff
my sack
doo doo doo doo now I'm a
believer we
can just go on forever
Oh your song well we'll keep
our eye on
this if it's not already a
thing I think
we should promote this just to
be good
for the show we need I mean we
already
have the the women saying oh
I'm not
gonna have children anymore no
mention
by the way of sterilization or
anything
no just a conscious choice not
to have
children but we all know that
it's
really men who are the problem
one man
can spread his demon seed across
multiple women so we know that
we have
to go to the source of the
problem the
problem with climate change is
too many
people that's because they're
too many
men who have active organs
checking all
the boxes that's right well
that's that
can almost go in the red book
that
that's gonna happen by the way
that the
landmark case with the the kids
who were
suing the government for
climate change
because they didn't do enough
yeah tossed out didn't even
didn't even
hear it just tossed out no no
no this is
not is not gonna go I'm sorry
for the
cliff people go out there and
read the
book the true believer they'll
find
there's a lot of he's got some
very
interesting theories how how
people get
met they actually turn
themselves in
mature and childlike which is
why you'd
had a leader like Greta who was
a you
know 16 euros ludicrous it's
your book
is fast and they effort kind of
left it
out of the out of the I'm
putting it in
the show notes put it in the
show notes
just putting the show notes
right and
ass to go it has to be read by
everybody
it's in the show notes any show
notes
calm
now very interesting you
mentioned a few
minutes ago that you had clips
from
crystianna on impor from SI oh
no I said
I saw the show oh because I
also was
watching crystianna on import
in these
past few days and I did get
some clips
which I think are relevant
considering
that we now have a dream team a
dream
team for Trump's impeachment
trial in
the Senate even I didn't see
this one
coming
you have the two guys Alan
Dershowitz
who I respect I think he's he's
the the
proto constitutional lawyer and
before
he didn't virtue signal against
Trump he
was always on CNN MSNBC he was
everywhere everybody hailed him
but then
he and you know said well you
know the
court do the Constitution
everyone hated
him right down to Martha's
Vineyard well
I have the PBS intro clip to
the to the
dream team if you want to just
play that
as an intro to what you're
gonna discuss
it's an approach to Trump's
legal
defense team for his Senate
impeachment
trial is taking shape and
expanding it
was widely reported that it
will include
Ken Starr who's investigation
led to
President Clinton's impeachment
and
retired Harvard Law Professor
Alan
Dershowitz White House Counsel
Pat
Cipollone II and mr. Trump's
personal
lawyer Jay Sekulow are expected
to lead
the legal team during oral
arguments
beginning on Tuesday so not
only is
Dershowitz but also can start
both men
involved in the slap on the
wrist
prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein
in
Florida you can't make this up
both of
those guys were involved in
that deal
with the Justice Department and
Jeffrey
Epstein to get him his little
private
cell where he could leave 10
hours a day
and just go back to sleep and
he had his
own wing
those guys are doing this
here's the alan dershowitz
explaining
what his role will be the abuse
of power
allegation is that that request
conditioned on money that was
federally
mandated under the law for a
different
purpose isn't I'm sorry I'm
sorry
playing it the wrong way around
here he
is talking about his role well
my job
next week will be to present the
constitutional case against
impeachment
a case that I've been
presenting on your
show in two books and 25
articles I will
not deal with the nitty-gritty
of the
facts and facts now we can't
now he
means something else but and
some media
training would be appropriate
here der
circles I will not deal with the
nitty-gritty of the fact that's
all you
need that clip just play that
over and
over again on CNN that little
bit is
enough and whether they should
be
witnesses or not but just from a
personal point of view the
Constitution
approach which was suggested in
Prior
preachments impeachments was
always to
have the facts presented to the
House of
Representatives cross
examination you
then get a report and the
report is
what's put on trial the one
thing that's
critically clear is that if the
Democrats or latter call
witnesses
president Trump's lawyers will
have to
be allowed to call witnesses
and they're
going to determine initially
whether the
witnesses are relevant on CNN
all day
they've been saying today that
hunter
Biden wouldn't be relevant but
of course
he'd be relevant if witnesses
will call
because the issue is was he
corrupt
did the president legitimately
have an
interest in ferreting out
corruption
including the corruption of
hunter Biden
so I think if the Democrats
begin to
open the door they will regret
it also
will put the trial off for
months maybe
even longer than that because
they're
gonna call Bolton Bolton will
want to
testify the president will
invoke
executive privilege and then
the Senate
will have to take that case to
court and
the court will have to decide
either a
blanket way or a question by
question
way whether or not Bolton has
the right
to answer these questions
remember he
doesn't get to make the
decision it's
made by the president in the
first
instance and then the courts
so according to the country's
constitutional lawyer no way
it doesn't even qualify
and of course he said that on
fox news
he doesn't get to say that
anywhere else
I guess he kind of meant yes a
lot of
this stuff isn't said anywhere
else and
he doesn't mention that they
and I
outplayed this little clip this
is the
clip is Professor on
testimonies on
impeachment this is a professor
from NYU
who is on PBS this is not CNN
this is
not MSNBC and he's just
throughout this
little snippet when it was when
they
were discussing the idea of
bringing
hunter Biden on board to
testify like
atmosphere maybe the press
people and
who he wants are people like
hunter
Biden who aren't directly
relevant to
the case and I think that's
part of it
is to trying to like flip the
narrative
into being about something else
hunter
Biden not part of the case but
all of
the including PBS on this all
of the
news sources are making the
claim that
hunter by it irrelevant is not
part of
the case there's nothing to do
with it
no of course not
and now if you wanted the
contrast to
that listen to this where I
have a Rand
Paul clip which is pretty hard
to come
by it's something worth playing
yeah
certainly because he's usually
he's
pretty much kept out of the off
the air
but just here's Rand Paul
talking about
the same kind of thing can you
think of
any company anywhere in the
world that
would ever pay millions and
millions of
dollars to somebody here is
this Hannity
yeah unfortunate all you can
get on I
gotta tell you I cannot watch
that man
this is hard this and I don't
it's I
can't listen to him on the
radio it's
just there's something about
him it's
just like oh you're just
beating me with
your wet blanket all the time
stop that
what's the way he talks I guess
do you
could you what any business
ever do that
well it goes to the heart of
the matter
of the president's being
accused of
withholding foreign aid and his
argument
is well we were studying
corruption and
we wanted to know about
corruption in
Ukraine and I think the Biden's
are as
corrupt as the day is long
no young man who's the
politician gets
fifty grand a month who has no
where
they go zetaclear you know
working for ukrainian oligarch
you know
I mean for goodness sakes
it smells do I have and it
smells like
corruption and every day on the
mainstream media they say oh
there's no
there there this has been
investigated
there's no corruption I think
the
American people don't buy it
but here's
the thing is fair is fair and
if they're
gonna put the president through
this
they're gonna have to have
witnesses on
both sides but I'll tell you
what my
fear is is that some
Republicans are
gonna vote for witnesses we'll
get those
the ones the Democrats want and
then
when we have the votes on
bringing
witnesses or letting the
president
choose his witnesses I think
those will
fail not only because of those
Republicans but because a whole
variety
of Republicans may not allow the
whistleblower may not allow
Biden for
one reason or another because
they serve
with them but if it turns out
and the
Republican base sees that this
looks
like only Democrat witnesses
and no
presidential witnesses I
guarantee that
the Republican berate the
Republican
base will punish those people
who set up
I can't support any Republican
that does
that I could tell you right now
yeah
yeah fine yes and the narrative
is about
to fall apart let's shrink some
amygdalas here I got an email
from a
person who works at a DC
lobbying firm
and I've confirmed that with
one of the
partners of the firm this
doesn't happen
often but the partner actually
confirmed
this I want to read this this
is about
left Parnas and left par Naz is
you know
the the guy with the hair stuck
on his
head the the he's bald but he
just
thinks it looks good if he
sticks those
strands here so he is described
as rudy
giuliani's crony you know he's
out there
he's doing deals he's trying to
hear
this spying on the ambassador or
whatever this is very important
to
understand unless Parnas was a
client of
the lobbying firm I work for in
DC and I
confirmed that here's the
important
thing to know about Lev
he paid rudy giuliani $500,000
for him
to copy the business model of
LifeLock
and this makes sense because i
kept
trying to figure out what is
this
company that he used to donate
campaign
funds through fraudulently
apparently or
that's under indictment called
fraud
guarantee which you know the
mainstream
laughed about this why you
can't make
this stuff up the guy's a
fraudster he
has a company called fraud
guarantee
haha
no one actually looks into it
this is
true the guy tried to create
LifeLock
which is a great company who
will email
you from time to time and say
oh you
better keep your subscription
up for $25
a month we found your
information on the
dark web you don't want any I'm
not
kidding the keeper left because
she had
LifeLock and she left it
because I said
and I don't want all my shit in
a single
point of failure and and ever
since she
left it she's getting all these
threatening emails oh we found
you on
the dark web this information
about you
in the dark web sign up now to
get off
the dark web so he Giuliani was
helping
him advising him recreate the
LifeLock
business model so Rudy Giuliani
was
working for him not the other
way around
and this guy the the probably
the
trouble he got into is for
bribing local
officials for pot licenses so
the the
accusation from the lobbying
firm
employee is he's just doing
this to
raise his own profile his own
political
profile maybe but certainly
profile not
marry you
sorry avenatti to it completely
an
avenatti story except Alvin I
didn't
stick the hair on his head he
went full
bald enter Christiana on impor
she does
an interview with the Foreign
Minister
of Ukraine Vadim pristiq oh
this is the
Secretary of State this is the
Foreign
Minister this is the guy who
deals with
everything with other countries
he deals
with the United States State
Department
and he's been in the inner
circle of as
the Lansky's and before he got
elected
and throughout his entire yeah
first year in office Christiane
Amanpour
is Sohail and the guys in I
think it was
actually in DC at the embassies
outside
shot and he's you know he's
just doing
this interview he has business
in
Washington DC because that's
what
foreign ministers do Christiane
Amanpour
is so hell-bent on getting him
to admit
about this quid pro quo and
it's so
obvious that left par nos you
know he's
the he's the missing link and
everything
we can now we can now we can
finally get
rid of the of the president
orange man
bad but she can't make it
happen and her
valiant efforts are well
appreciated but
this clip which ran on CNN
International
has not aired once on CNN in
the US and
this is one of the main guys
who would
know exactly what's happening
he is just
like Hillary Clinton was a
sidekick to
Barack Obama when she was
Secretary of
State the guy was on the call
and he I
have a couple of clips from this
interview mr. foreign minister
let me
ask you the questions that
everybody is
talking about right now
left on us a crony of he even
says a
crony isn't that interesting
how she sets that up really oh
we have
on us a crony of Rudy Giuliani
who is
the president's personal lawyer
has now
spoken out as you know and he
has said
several things mostly that he
did carry
a very explicit message from the
president
via Rudy Giuliani that there
would need
to be a quid pro quo if Ukraine
was
going to continue getting any
kind of
assistance financial military
political
whatever kind of assistance and
furthermore he has now said
that he has
spoken to key officials within
president
zalenski circle since you are
one of
those and you were when this
happened
did you get that message from
Lev Parnas
no do you have to kind of get
into the
guy's speech pattern because
he's
obviously not a native English
speakers
English is impeccable but it's
very it's
very it has a heavy accent as
little
jerky but the question is very
clear and
obvious
it's only all Oh Ukrainian
media as well
today and yesterday and
strangely enough
my name was not mentioned
although I'm
Minister of Foreign Affairs and
I
frankly I never spoke with this
individual and again frankly I
don't I
don't trust any work he's now
saying the
assistance which we he is
referring to
was reviewed out each and every
year
annually at least twice and
half a year
at the end of year so we knew
that this
assistance is to be reviewed
sometimes
it would be cut because of the
some
political understanding of what
is to be
done in Ukraine sometimes being
in rest
which is now were observing at
the end
of the year we would receive
even more
than it was planned I
understand that
this individual which I don't
know
personally but he is now trying
to save
his own case and I again I
don't trust
what he saying and I would you
know I
was so tired of these questions
about
the our own impeachment what we
are
trying to tell Americans that
we were so
happy to have bilateral support
from
both parties and we will be
happy to
have it as well so I know it's
you get
into it as you listen to him
but he's
saying no this is very normal
it's very
normal every six months we
adjust we
talked to the State Department
talked to
our counterpart at parts that
sometimes
things have to be adjusted down
we have
to do certain things all in
normal
course of business
this left Parnas guy yeah not
quite sure
what he is he seems he has like
he has
his own problems as he said he's
fighting for his own case the
guy when
he did the interview with
Rachel Maddow
had a GPS tracker on his ankle
because
he's he's on bail he's not
allowed to
leave the country etc but that
doesn't
work for crystianna i'm poor
let's make
sure you you say that your name
hasn't
been mentioned public I just
want to
make sure that you will never
receive
this kind of message verbally or
otherwise from anybody
connected with
Rudolph Giuliani or
representing the
press just to make sure you
didn't you
know like trick me and someone
else told
you there was a quid pro quo
are you
really sure I know miss Rudy I
know
Amanda spurn us and they all
others name
mentioned I believe that people
are now
trying to raise their political
importance I never had the
chance and
frankly
we don't need these channels our
channels of communications
Americans are
well-established if some some
of the non
official contacts through the
advisors
that's why it Weiser's for we
took the
official formal part we were
happy with
the conversation I was at all
the
meetings and the conversation
is a
telephone only person who's
president
Trump and I can tell you with
all
certainty that he was never
mentioned
that we have to do something and
presidency Lansky was always
telling him
that whatever this message and
this
lesson he were teaching us all
the
thirty years of our
independence that
they should be rule of law and
should an
independent judiciary and
prosecutor
general from the present we
finally got
the message we are not going to
intervene because of some
political
gains we told him if you have
information send us through the
official
channels which is prosecutor
general's
office you have your particular
channel
we have ours let them talk at
rate if
anything should be investigated
let's
investigate this again we
understand
there are always things that are
political or things that need
to be done
for particularly in the arena of
corruption in Ukraine we
understand
sometimes all or parts of the
funds are
held withheld delayed because
we have to
do something very normal course
of
business just send us the
changes
whatever you need we'll get
right on it
but but but didn't didn't the
president
get all pissed off and and not
attend
the inauguration because
because there
was no formal announcement of
investigating the Biden's
clearly the United States had
made it
clear that either the President
or the
Vice President was going to
come to
president solinsky's
inauguration and
this we are told also was
mentioned by
either left partners Rudy
Giuliani or a
number of people who they say
were
carrying message to your
president
it didn't happen as you very
well know
they didn't come to the
inauguration I
can tell you why we as some
some blame
can be on our side because we
had to do
it in a very fast way presence
in sq
wanted to leave the parliaments
free
from from his new presidency
and we have
just a couple of days to make
it legal
we have been will be limited by
ourselves by time so we gave
quite a
short notice to all the nations
in an
hour case in the American case
Perry came we believe that
would we'll
have somebody else if you want
to if you
give more more time for the
foreign
delegation so now he could be
covering
and that would be the one view
of this
but what he's saying and you
know this
is the kind of like a
number-two guy in
the country no we made the
decision you
know a couple days before it's
not easy
to move the president or vice
president
if we had want really wanted
that level
to show up we would have
planned it
differently we got secretary
Perry and
then it was Secretary of Energy
we feel
that was pretty appropriate
okay one
more time this can't be true
what about
what about that ambassador
Sunderland he
clearly said quid pro quo
perfectly
clear mr. foreign minister even
the
president's own ambassador to
the EU
Sunderland who was tasked with
the
Ukrainian brief says that there
was a
quid pro quo was there a quid
pro quo as
far as you know and were you
surprised
when you did actually hear that
that
military aid was being
suspended I know
personally master sunland's and
I have
to again remind you that he was
political appointee he was not
on the
formal side he's over the State
Department he was also close to
the
circles which were sort of
trying to get
in their own business like wait
maybe he
was bringing message but if you
read it
in his statement he never
talked to me
although I was the advisor and
then
Minister of Foreign Affairs
about any
pre poker or any any unofficial
cat
channels or ways of what we can
do to
get closer to present Ron no he
was
talking to some people who
believed was
instrumental that time I
personally see
that we are okay with this
support we
have right now and we don't
need sorry
to be blunt and we don't need
this
unofficial support it's not on
the level
at the level when we have these
American
Americans already we can have
the
support and if we are told that
the
systems military systems can be
affected
by some lack of reform this is
a normal
conversation we had with
Americans so
many times before
and during this particular year
you're
describing right now we had a
couple of
times to explain to members of
Congress
that we understand the
decisions not
coming from the sky it is
connected to
some reforms we have to do two
changes
and we were doing so it was not
about
political gains on in his
insight we
heard this this assistance is
important
we told him that it is
important and it
is connected to summary force
which we
were doing and that was it she
could not
beat it out of him and this is
as far as
I understand kind of the crux
of this
abuse of power which we now
know is not
constitutional impeachment
article
well I mean I I know you
slipped into my
subconscious the idea of clip
of the day
no no no I did difficult I
would give
you clip of the day for this
because
it's really an outstanding
clipping of
an unbelievable catch but
because that
guy is so difficult to listen
yes
hardening it's borderline okay
and I'll
accept the borderline it's
completely
fair
but that is the whole now it's
just the
foreign minister we also have
the actual
president saying knows no
pressure now
they could be lying that you
know Trump
may have a gun to their head
behind the
scenes I don't know seems
unlikely the
Ukrainians if anyone's got a
gun it's
damn so to me that that just
kind of
shuts it all down as I'm not
sure what
you're actually gonna talk
about but it
seems like this is all you know
we're
moving from this is the molar
report
basis I mean it's the same kind
of thing
a bunch of oh I had to lunch
with one of
the Lib joes
oh my goodness this should have
been top
of the show well what we had
top of the
show is better and and bringing
in the
true believer I think
epitomized the Lib
Joe mm-hmm fine conversation
you're
talking about normally net at
the very
end when I knew Trump was
mention that
this is why I was listening to
you and
the bankers thing because
everyone's
know no one said anything about
Trump
cuz you never triggered him it
took me a
while but I finally oh you had
to
trigger him interesting
interesting you
didn't do that no well hello I
was uh I
was a guest unless you want to
you want
Tina to be worked for a couple
of ways
you didn't want to trigger
because if
you triggered him and you got
what I got
oh my god here's a couple of
little
tidbits one Lev is the most
important
guy ever ever I mean it more
important
that who is the last most
important guy
I forgot who whatever Kohinoor
Cohen
this guy
Trump is done get both the
House and the
Senate in 2020 and then if he's
still in
office somehow because it's a
possibility no hanging that
Trump as a
solo act which never happened
I've
watched this and you
have to the president doesn't
come in
and then loo every like nobody
votes for
a Republican president then
votes a
Democratic ticket they just
don't do it
no but no no that's what's
gonna happen
okay did you say hold on let me
put that
in the red book did you do that
I was
writing down everything to
write on but
I remember eyes most of it cuz
I just
bets available everybody's
going to jail
everybody's worked with Trump
so far has
gone to jail anyway did the
topic of
thousands of sealed indictments
come up
I by me I just think he's just a
reflection of the other crazy
sided
thing but he said bar is going
to jail
for jail Giuliani jail jail
jail jail
bars the worst buy the red
corner these
guys now I don't know where
they're
getting is but some help bar
has turned
into this you know great guy to
this
horrible person that's going to
jail did
they mention any kind of charge
big corruption everybody's
corrupt the
whole operation this is the
most and
then what was funny about this
conversation was first he
starts off
with and he actually had a
better list
than I had at the top of my
head of
Trump's accomplishments he had
your
pretty much every one of them
and did
that people would say well
here's what
Trump's done and he had them
all okay
the reason that Trump is
accomplished
what he has is just by sheer
luck oh oh
it was really the process of the
government that made it all
work yeah
but he's doomed he's done well
that's
very similar to the to the
opportunity's
own like oh no that's just Trump
happened to be there that that
happened
yeah coinkidink
that was it that was that was
the only
the promise that this is what
brought me
by the way this is what brought
me
around to the to the idea that
this was
he's incredulous you won't
listen to
anything and he won't listen to
anything
other than what he would his
sources are
which he won't tell me I told
him what
they were seeing an MSNBC
because you know as MSNBC guy
New York
Times for sure in the
Washington Post
period that's your four sources
of
information for most of these
people
well and this is why this got
me to
thinking about the gullibility
factor
these people and there's a lot
of them
and it really concerns me that
they're
just hook line and sinker
they're so
gullible that they believe this
stuff
without any critical thought
whatsoever
and they don't even care to hear
anything opposite of whatever
they've
been through whatever they
bought into
and I would put this on the
climate
science people the climate
crisis people
the people that were into the
new Ice
Age and the people who got
there to get
clipped when they were in their
20s this
is dig they're gullible and
this my
friends are gullible
gullible travels man oh man oh
man that
and this was the professor yeah
Wow well
he's getting it from both ends
so to
speak and he's getting it from
the from
the from the academia and from
Rachel
Rachel Maddow I love that
that's it
because it's literally the same
thinking
on both sides they're all going
to jail
they're all corrupt
it's a mirror image it is
completes
which is kind of good because
when you
disturb one for us well don't
give away
the secrets of the show if you
change
something on one side you may
see a
complete and equal change on
the other
s'matter yes now we're deep wow
disappointing because it's like
you
think people would be a happy
you know
trying to think of themselves a
little
bit but it's just litany it's
just bang
bang bang bang - and it's I'm
almost
like I might as well have Rob
Reiner at
the table man talk about talk
about
being good for the show that
would
that's oh by the way is a buddy
it's
like if I could ask people
friendly
would you please refrain from
filling
out online forms for people to
be a
guest on the No Agenda show
it's very
embarrassing to the show twice
maybe
three times a week I get an
email from
an author from someone who has
another
podcast from you know like hi
we want
you on the no agenda show and
then you
know they sign it Adam curry
Adam
McCurry Cobb hahahaha so then I
have to
explain ah this is just some
overzealous
fan I guess you know we don't
know some
Joker when they had show haters
but it's
like people subscribing me to
the
idiotic newsletters luckily
most of them
you know check before they a
lot of this
auto-subscribe you know I am
for a while
thanks bud but yeah for guess
it's just
rude and it wastes time and
you're not
funny and you know we don't
have guests
oh stop it don't do it
thank maybe you thought you
were helping
but you're not
I don't think they thought they
were
helping
form of harassment could be
could be by
the way you know the the
transmission of
the articles of impeachment was
what 28
days 30 days I'm now thinking
now that
I've had a good look at these
pens these
are these are Mont Blanc pens
though
they're mom blocks with the
gold a about
a waste of the taxpayers money
they're about now I don't well
she got
them it's a there engraved with
Nancy
Pelosi signature yeah just a
good one I
think they had to wait for the
Pens to
get delivered
Wow what else could it be I
mean to get
and you know that thirty of
these pans
they're probably about three
grand deeds
so that's not bad you know I
looked at
mommy grant I looked at no I
looked at
Mont Blanc pens and the one that
resembles it I don't see the
exact pen
in their lineup so maybe even a
total
custom job for all I know but
the one
that looks like the most is
$3,000
$3,000 a day that's engraved as
include
engraving that's before
engraving
but what yes Mont Blanc pens
are - not
cheap I mean that you've gotten
that pen
as the souvenir I'm sure what
they're
gonna lend up in a little
display case
but I just baked it in some
lucite yeah
yeah it's they may have dipped
at least
a week for those pens you know
that and
you know she was really
hammering on the
dated being that December 18th
and this
was important so I think she
had that
date on the pan it's engraved
with her
signature the dates on the pen
yes the
date of the impeachment the
date of the
impeachment of the date of the
transfer
the date of the impeachment
which is her
whole thing she wants a
December 18th
she wants it to be remembered
that
schoolchildren need to remember
this oh
she did Paul Revere Nursery
Rhyme yeah
there's an infamy she's not
gonna get
anything out of this this is
going
nowhere for her well I think
she's gonna
be famous you know in the
history books
in her mind she's there ready
she will
be she will be remembered as
the first
female Speaker of the House
that that's
that's a kind of a big deal but
I can't
I don't I doubt you could name
either
Speaker of the House during the
Roosevelt administration which
probably
was a pretty secure situation
can you
know I can't either I don't
know who it
was
no it means the who is the
Speaker of
the House sir and Truman I
don't know
and again people don't seem to
care
anymore
they're moving on with their
lives
they'll they'll just watch
Rachel and
you think that but then when I
had when
I get the triggering going cuz
I didn't
see that's true you know boom
next thing
you know corruption and
horrible person
orange man bad everyone's going
to jail
unbelievable alright I'll try
some
triggering next time but I have
to set
this it's not going to large
group do
they it could trigger each
other could
go it could be an explosion the
whole
hotel could have gone awry
smoke like a
nuke with that I'd like to
thank you for
your courage and say in the
morning to
you the man who put the C in
vasectomy
John

comm also in the morning to the
artist
who bought us the artwork for
episode
1208 the title of that was
weeping
angels and this was Nick the
rat who's
back
who has done it once again a
lot of
compliments for this charge you
you said
it was great I've never watched
drama
and walnut' whatever so this
was not for
me I deferred to you and I
think we made
a good we couldn't find
anything else
that you like yeah that's true
and you
didn't like this piece either
no it's
like it doesn't really mean
anything to
me but I deferred I think I
said oh you
did I give you that you
deferred to me
and I assured you that it was a
funny
piece and you were I could hear
you
rolling your eyes funny it's a
complaint
I get at home too hmm and you
rolled
your eyes and then you said
okay well
we'll give it a shot it's
because what
you said when you convinced you
finally
was that it jumped a pop yet
popped off
the page it was the only ones
pop always
looking for pop
but yeah I was a funny piece
that was
amy klobuchar as a wallace and
gromit
character and people yeah but
then the
compliments were abundant so it
was a
good choice good piece by Nick
we thank
all the artists who were always
incompetent friendly competition
no it's friendly its friendly
they're
always thanking each other on
Twitter
like congratulations No Agenda
art
generator dot-com is where you
can see
all the submissions there's a
lot there
there's 10 times as much art as

shop and
the show benefit it's used in
newsletters and you are welcome
to jump
into the fray no agenda are
generated
are calm free to enter free to
play loop
so we have a pretty good show
as showing
you all the last minute it was
kind of
interesting I know Eric sent me
a Redux
spreadsheet he said I guess
some stuff
came in that well there was a
couple of
teams that came in late but
let's go
over what we have okay
hieronymus is at the top of
losses but
he comes in every cerana myths
of lower
sliver of Dogpatch in lower
slovakia
right and he writes he came to
it was
one of his coded numbers one
two three
two
when I was doing a $32 first of
all
thank you sir animus and now
for the
decoding of the the number and
the note
well the note a couple things
is e this
is not a real one of his normal
notes
this is a note because he's
established
a fund for a new daming thanks
for all
the producers that make the
best source
of news in the known universe
the value
from this show continues to be
immeasurable to me my effort
for Dame
ladies support seemed too
complicated
now then he says this please
credit the
women that donated to show 1200
games are not included in this
promotion
is to add new roundtable
members so I
don't know what he means by
this so he
says for episode if I
understand him
correctly episode 1200 female
donors
receive his
his fund this particular go
brows
Brittany Allison Olga Shari
Lindsay
Cassidy Jennifer there's a
bunch of them
oh he wrote him down or you
looked him
up I looked at my huh to
simplify this
promotion any woman that
donates at
least double nickels on the
dime for
this show and the previous show
will
share equally in the donation
credit
toward their totals okay this
has to be
divided up I rely on you two to
determine the divisor the
divisor and
identify them the troll room
can confirm
things if you like I knew it
was gonna
be too easy he's finally come
around and
has decided he wants to make us
work
this fall is when does that not
happen
we have to and by the way we
are passing
this off to Eric right for him
to figure
out he's not gonna do of course
we can
does separately okay now he
does this
thing here he wants me to DG
changes his
mind about this part but I'm
gonna just
kind of summarize uh he
apparently Rene
DuPont and show 12:06 is the
woman who
had the courage she had the
courage the
way he puts it to hope she
would share
in the Dame drive from
promotion I
thought it was just a smart
move on her
part because she came out and
said hey
yeah
so he's going to give her an
instant
game Wow when he when she comes
up with
a dame lady title
and so there's another thousand
dollars
in abeyance which is not not on
this nut
and he during the original
promotion no
it's not included in this
donation okay
it's part of the original
promotion all
right
I'm very confused so do I know
I know I
am too but I've got kind of a
handle on
but Renee if she gets a hold of
us if
she's listening and she should
be
listening if she's so sincere
and if
she's not and that she can
condemn me
first using the words so she'll
get a
touch with us and and give us a
title
and it won't insta Dame her at
some
later a later event produced
with no D
writes all right being on a
non-us
commercial carrier over a
country's
airspace when the country
launches
missiles can be disruptive to
air
traffic you may experience some
discomfort during flight Danny
says as
if as he finishes off I hope
yum yum
keeps his missiles in his pants
during
my visit next month what he's
going to
North Korea oh my gosh this is
fantastic
mystery oh no GJ jingles no
Karma so we
don't know so that anyway
that's where
we stand
I'd like a souvenir I'm
thinking a
poster
that's a really bad joke so all
the
women who donate the show 1200
and
there's at least 12 of you you
can drop
a hundred bucks into your
account nice
that's the way I see it makes
sense now
okay so is there any other work
that
needs to be done in the show
notes or no
no we're good we're good to go
good Wow
you know he's truly the patron
I know he
doesn't want any titles he
doesn't want
us to call him anything other
than
Soroptimist of Dogpatch and
lower
slovakia but what a fascinating
guy or
Gally
we don't even know if it's a
man or a
woman quite honestly you know
it's a man
we D likes about his wife oh
okay all
right well thank you so much
and this is
a new twist to the value for
value model
I know we kind of understand
yes sir
Oprah of Dogpatch and lore
Slovakia well
thank you very much sir anima
s' that is
above and beyond and incredibly
appreciated and welcomed and it
helps
big time
and I lit up by Alison yes

Texas and he comes in with he's

a little anecdote regarding the
tea
dropping craze which I believe
you may
have touched upon a few shows
back when
I was growing up you could
always tell
when someone was not from my
hometown
when they pronounced it natives
always
said ta'rhonda Toronto well
visitors forced the second T as
in
Toronto's wrong
yeah I would say I think there
are some
words I've noticed and people
have
pointed out that even I dropped
some T's
but it's a little different than
important yeah that's different
dropping a Tian's something yes
I agree
with you what you just said
almost a
reverse of what is happening
now and I
imagine if trends continue that
poor
second team may be lost forever

12:09 I want to thank each and
every one
of them for keeping the show
alive and
especially these execs and
associate
execs because this is really
what keeps
us going and you get a stir on
immersive
Dogpatch who is paying it
forward
sharing the love for the Dame
Drive
that's highly appreciated and
you know
we're to help this is - truly a
value
for value network I mean and I
just want
to go back to Allison's note
how was it
Allison yeah Allison who is an
educator
by day options trader by night
listens
to the show felt comfortable
with our
analysis no World War 3 coming
this is
all just you know a big a big
PR move on
both sides you know a lot of
flag
tweeting back and forth she
didn't go in
for the hedge it's not like she
invested
in something and made a billion
dollars
but she didn't spend money on a
downside
because she felt comfortable
with the
analysis made the money and then
sends that value back on to the
show I
mean it could not be a better
example of
how it works for certain people
it can
work for anybody in multiple
ways yeah
we keep people saying it miss
really
easily go off the deep end and
think
some crazy stuff is gonna
happen and
then it start hedging because
you're
fearful but it's a mistake in
this case
certainly absolutely another
way y'all
can help I did want to mention
is
subscribe to the no agenda
animated
channel animated no agenda we
are very
close to the magic 5000 number
and I
know a lot if you don't have a
Google
account so no YouTube and it's
for very
good reason and I support that
but then
you know I'm sure you have a
friend or a
colleague or someone in the
cubicle next
to you you can go you can go
subscribe
them to the show just we need
to get to
that 5,000 number so the owl
goes kick
in so we can finally exit with
our
Netflix series so that would be
highly
appreciated and thank you again
executive producers and
associate
executive producers for
producing
episode 1209 of the best
podcast in the
universe we have more people
who thank

lot of the information to be
very lucky
in business our formula is this

[Applause]
[Music]
okay down bars going down
what's gonna
boss Bart is going down oh I
got to play
something fun for you this is
fun this
we're going back to the debate
and this
is the hot mic clip that CNN
released so
you know we had Bernie and
Elizabeth
Warren going at at the end and
so you
called me a liar on national
television
and and you couldn't hear that
during
the original debate at the end
you could
just see Bernie extending his
hand Liz
Warren's pissed off this clear
something
going on Tom Steyer standing
there like
a dope and just listen to the
audio
higher thing is still the key
to this
whole thing to me listen to the
audio
again let's not do it right now
you want
to have that discussion about
that you
called me you told me now what
was very
interesting is that this was
obviously
we certainly deconstructed it
to be a a
move on cnn's part to push
Bernie out
that was the whole argument
about could
a women when a woman win the
election
and then you know this happened
at the
end no one heard it oh crap we
got to
make Bernie look even stupider
let's get
the audio out and it appeared
in a
report on CBS with I think this
is Nora
either senator Bernie Sanders
know where senator Elizabeth
Warren I
wanted to discuss what everyone
else is
talking about their
confrontation for
after Tuesday nights to be
[Applause]
let's not do it right now you
want to
have that discussion we'll have
that
discussion you called me you
told me
the disagreement stems from
whether he
once told now did you hear a
difference
I shall play this that wasn't
Norah
O'Donnell obviously I'm gonna
play the
CBS report snippet again their
confrontation for after Tuesday
night's
debate the original audio as
played by
this show on the previous
program is
different you see she messed it
up she
said I a liar on national TV so
I don't
know why but they decided to
double the
exact same piece instead of the
original
clip I remember it as I think
you called
me a liar on national TV not I
think a
liar or whatever she said there
but I'd
the first part was extremely
garbled and
you couldn't hear it I think
there's
even a third version of this
but it's
yeah I don't know I bet this is
to
clarify don't think it I don't
think it
was a Miss I don't think it was
illegal
quote unquote
what maybe not illegal just
trying to
make it deep I don't think they
need to
repeat it I think they're just
gonna
they couldn't just use the one
yeah now
the thing about this I finish
is that
CNN doubled down by having a
body
language person on to discuss
this did
you get it I have it yes is it
the one
from YouTube is it that lady
this is a
woman named Janine and Ida clip
if you
want to queue it up yeah
unfortunately I
spelled it hon mean I believe or
something stupid uh I got nany
dry body
language but anyway the thing
that I
would notice about this or I was
thinking about and I'm glad you
got that
other clip from CBS
and I pointed this out in the
newsletter
that the New York Times in
particular
has been going after Bernie at
David
Brooks came out with a column
saying
some of Bernie's a jerk and
then the New
York chemist has a reporter
that just
goes after Bernie they have
they are now
pulling out that all the
weapons they
can to Submarine Bernie's
campaign they
don't play as obvious they
don't play as
his get rallies because they're
just
you're not gonna do that
well the rallies have numbers
they look
great and yeah they've got big
numbers
and God and God forbid we get
the
election we deserve in America
put the
socialist Bernie doesn't really
have
much of a chance and it but he
still
keeps his numbers up so they've
got to
do all these other things this
particular analysis is quite
interesting
and of course it makes they
make it
clear that Bernie is a liar
scandals
hurt you more when they seem
plausible
right this is not CNN this is
our
favorite joy ratio on MSNBC
physicality
you know when he when he talks
is a
shaking your fingers at Hillary
Clinton's shaking your finger
shall be
weirdy his physicality yeah
makes me
think yeah he could have said
you know
listen I think in this
environment a
woman can't win that doesn't
seem like a
I think I think Bernie's lying
we see
him he stretches forward anyway
joy but
here he Turtles if you look at
his eye
level he does do that he is it
turned
against like a head goes down
and
shoulders come on she she makes
the
assertion and this is an
interesting one
to look for if your eyes drop
the load
your shoulders because you've
dropped
your head down to your turtling
yeah
that is an indication of a liar
boy so
he's a reptile this is the best
part
the only answer his question
when he
makes the denial his whole
shoulders
come up like a little kid
getting caught
his eye level is below his
shoulders
this is trying to hide in plain
sight
and many of us we don't know
what to
look for so if you look for
this right
out of the gate in the
strongest denial
is simply
saying no and I think women in
particular we want to believe
human
beings so we're like yeah I
would I
would say that he literally
said well as
a matter of fact I didn't say
it that's
nine words unnecessary no did
you vote
for Donald Trump in the last
election
absolutely no money an Easter
absolutely
no right so it's no we say no
absolutely
it's actually not the strongest
denial
you're playing with me here in
the game
but least you're getting the
know in
here we're not hearing the no
with
Bernie also with Bernie he has
numerous
hot spots he says well lawyers
like to
start with well he looks away
he laughs
I think he might have been
coached to
laugh in this moment a lot of
politicians are coached to
laugh in the
difficult times so we're
focused on the
laughter and it's supposed to
send a
message that this isn't serious
it is
serious if he said it which I
believe
that he did he would have been
better to
just own it you know Barack
Obama wrote
a book years ago years ago and
he said
what in the book he tried
cocaine and
marijuana and he never touched
the stuff
again we never talked about it
when he
was president after that talk
about it
what does that say about you
mainstream
media that you never talked
about it we
talked about it what was that
Larry
Sinclair talked about it quite
extensively Oh
President Obama apparently was
smoking a
lot of things back in the day
yes I
don't really have you know what
I do
have I finally got these
Supercuts
analysis what the the m5n
thought of the
debates and this is pretty much
all
MSNBC CNN PBS CBS NBC this was
not the
type of night of ambition we
expected it
was a dull and plodding debate
there
weren't a lot of fireworks
was it fiery did you know could
you feel
the crackling in here
no not really even any pointed
questions
we saw no one swing big nobody
looked
good on the debate stage
tonight for me
with dispiriting caution was
the most
active participant
but Democrats never do better
what we
saw tonight I want this race to
get
tougher but is anybody
confident looking
at these people
there was nothing I saw at
night that
would be able to take Donald
Trump out
this race has been gentle and
whoever
comes out the other side is
running
against Donald Trump oh is this
gonna
condition the ultimate nominee
to take
on the
beast that Donald Trump is
everybody's
weakest performance if you
can't take on
and take charge in the debate
what gives
people the confidence you can
do that
with Donald Trump by the way I
did that
at the table last night I said
claw
Hillary's gonna swoop in didn't
bat an
eye I thought it was normal
that I did
that so Hillary is now pretty
much
owning a Sun Dance Festival
everybody's
talking about the Hillary
documentary
which airs on Hulu March 6
which is JA
the timing is just just kind of
beautiful if you're interested
I can
play the trailer we they have a
new
trailer out some of the audio I
think
the these particularly the end
of this
trailer really tells you what
she's
thinking
I provoked strong opinions are
you ready
I didn't draw thinking about
going into
politics but much to my
surprise was
elected president the public
ends I got
into law school I thought I'm
gonna try
to make a difference in
people's lives
but to propose and I saw
Hillary soon he
was watching me and she closed
the logo
they said if you're gonna keep
looking
at me and I'm gonna keep
looking back we
ought to know each other's
names I'm
Hillary Rodham who are you she
was
different than anybody I ever
met I said
I really want to marry you but
he should
marry me there is a set of
expectations
on a first lady I violated them
from the
very beginning she brought to
the
forefront women's roles in
society this
is radical feminism we decided
to ask
Hillary to become Secretary of
State
surprise people
Hillary's polarizing human
rights are
women's rights and women's
rights are
human rights
people who burn up clutching
copies of
that speech reciting that line
from it
email email mails bang it
played into
all of the suspicions she's so
sketching
cold calculating she could
actually be
crazy there is this sense that
she knows
that she is an ethical moral
person and
that can blind anyone - you
know you get
scarred up a little bit it
wasn't like I
thought you know I cannot think
about
the most stupid thing I could
possibly
do and do it and didn't want
anything to
do with them
Chelsea put herself between us
and held
both our hands as long as she
has been
in a public life there have
been these
ups and downs you know be our
champion
go away
you want to make a difference
you want
to have an impact well then you
got to
get in the arena ya gotta get
in the
arena I'm telling you man this
is a
campaign ad if the trailer just
has they
have a bunch of these hypnotic
vamps and
then they play a kind of a
lullaby thing
later in that trailer
I wonder if during the show
itself
they're gonna be trying to
trick us with
music Oh to play that kind of
music and
then just gonna suck us in yeah
hmm well
what I'm always looking for is
okay what
is going to be the insurance
policy this
year because obviously the
Senate is not
going to kick the president out
just
seems highly unlikely anything
could
happen and it would be great
for the
show but it seems highly
unlikely we've
already heard the mainstream
say there's
no one can take on Trump none
of these
guys can do it guys and gals
know every
now they call him a beast
trumping who
will take on Trump the Beast
so let's go I know it I know I
know this
is that that was an MSNBC
saying Trump
is a beast they can't beat him
so what
is beast mode beast mode what
is the
what is the plan let's go to
the Council
on Foreign Relations shall we
they
usually have some ideas when
they're
around drinking in the club
Jane Harman
stands up and asks a question
of a panel
discussing this very issue and
she
injects some interesting
concepts
we haven't talked about any
potentially
catastrophic events that could
happen
between now and the election
such as
another major terrorist attack
major
9/11 style attacks maybe not
that but
close enough or massive Russian
disinformation campaign clearly
identified but massive really
creating
doubt in many states about
whether the
election was fair and who voted
and all
that if those things happen
especially
given the fact that we have
acting
everybody in the homeland
Department and
so on how does that affect the
election
what do you think of this what
do you
think of what how does her
brain even
work
well obviously the only thing
they could
still disrupt this is you know
like a
9/11 not exactly but kinda like
a 9/11
style of tagging or lots of
people dead
and or you know the Russians
actually
change the votes what why does
this
woman even think this way this
this is
anyway she's always creeped me
out I
think she's a reptile for sure
here's
the answer great question great
question
on the terrorist side that
question a
lot would depend upon what
happened how
it happened how close to the
election
who is seen as being
responsible for it
is it clear for example if the
administration failed in some
way or
failed in in with its immediate
response
so there's a lot of factors
that would
play it out but going back to
the this
issue of whether doubts are
raised about
the legitimacy of the vote
totals if you
were asking sort of look at one
wild
card that could really
unsettling
politics I think it's exactly
that and
you don't actually need to have
anyone
penetrate a the electoral rolls
or to
change the vote if people
believe
perhaps because of
disinformation that
somehow a vote count wasn't
actually
accurate and that would matter
obviously
the most if you have a very
close
election
I mean imagine a state in which
it holds
the balance the electoral
college about
you know less than 1% margin
and there
questions raised about whether
the votes
were accurately tallied that
would be I
think a problem that would have
a very
long shelf life which is why I
would
hope that we as a country would
have
taken much greater steps to
ensure our
election security now it's just
a
drinking club that just you know
shooting the breeze shooting
from the
hip they're just spitballin but
you know
that would be an obvious tactic
is to
say the russians changed the
actual
votes take us back to hanging
chads and
stuff like that and and then
Manuel
counts and recounts that you
can just
see it coming down Broadway
they're
coming up with another
and truly disinformation
you know there's something else
going on
parallel to this which is I
haven't put
in you know to analyze it well
but
everybody and their sister is
going
after Zuckerberg yeah even Bob
I didn't
even Biden said ìdo he doesn't
like
Zucker
Berg they is always the lefties
the
right wing is like said well
you know
whatever they don't like
Facebook they
don't like its influence but
the left
seems to be adamant about and
it seems
to go like this I don't
understand why
why Zuckerberg isn't with us us
hmm
right the Google boys are what
can I
just because I actually watched
two
hours of antitrust hearings
which I have
a clip for maybe after the
second half
the main issue seems to be that
face bag
has decided not to censor or
take down
political ads that may not be
factually
correct in fact the New York
Times wrote
and I have it in the show notes
somewhere I'll paraphrase it
New York
Times wrote I mean it's you
know while
Donald Trump blatantly lies in
ads about
you know Joe Biden face bags
not taking
it down so I think that's where
a lot of
this anger stems from
yeah I think there's well
they're
definitely too but that's again
they're
targeting him to the New York
Times's
talk now it may the thing that
can't be
overlooked is when you discuss
the New
York Times or even the
Washington Post
or any of them targeting
Facebook is
because Facebook is eating their
advertising lunch and also
stealing
money from the big boys also
you know
we're Twitter than dumbbells
that they
are said we're not gonna do any
political ads during the season
the
number one advertising event in
the
United States is an election
election
season billions of dollars
billions
mainly going online now and at
least 70%
I think is going to be spent
online
dumbbells that's about it Jack
Dorsey
had to go to the BS Elon Musk
what do
you think what would you do if
you ran
my company or what did Bilan
say I can't
remember it wasn't anything
serious oh
man oh yeah I know what he said
Elon
said get rid of all the bots
and you'll
be fine hmm but this that was a
serious
to me no but yeah there's a
dumbbell if
he doesn't want to be political
advertising is a bonanza is the
les
Moonves investor call a couple
number
years ago where he goes on and
on
bragging about how much money
they made
during the last election cycle
let's
let's go play that clip the
advertising
climate couldn't be better
right now and
I've never seen it this hot for
a number
of years third quarter scatter
was
phenomenally good and fourth is
even
better than that so as the year
ends and
we move into 16 guess what in
16 we have
an extra AFC champion playoff
game we
have the Super Bowl and we have
a year
of political advertising that
looks like
it's shaping up to be pretty
phenomenal
you know we love having all 16
Republican candidates throwing
crap at
each other it's great the more
they
spend the better it is for us
and go
Donald keeps keep getting out
there and
you know this is this is fun
you know
the you know watching this let
them
spend money on us and we love
having
them in in there we're looking
forward
to a very exciting political
year in 16
isn't it interesting that Les
Moonves
got hashtag me too
yep after saying Donald next
thing you
know he's out he's out oh yeah
I'll show
you what should the name one of
the
women who he who accosted or
anything is
there anybody that you can
think of I
don't know yeah yeah it was one
of the
older women I was like in her I
think
she's in her mid 50s I'm not
the same
age as me she was an accounting
or
something or within the company
but
apparently he he was quite the
year
the mover and shaker within the
corporation this well he had to
go yeah
he had to go but that's exactly
it and
yeah so here's Jack Dorsey no
we won't
take your money okay
short-faced bag
I mean Twitter they just keep
it but uh
well you know whatever is ever
Baba if
you don't like what these guys
are
advertising do some advertising
of your
own since it came up there was
an
antitrust hearing I was several
hours
and it was held in Colorado for
some
reason apparently they had
these trials
in the field I think they call
them and
so they they bring in people
and it was
against Apple it was a software
guy is
like oh you know Apple you know
we can't
we can't really even do it and
make
money off of our software Apple
wants
30% from the App Store if we
even put a
link in the app you know they
may may
take it off you know they have
too much
power to which I say well their
phone
their system you know go make a
phone
goggle of course was under the
gun the
most interesting I think was
Amazon who
was really turning out to be
the you
know a true evil Corp and we've
discussed this again this one
this is
the the CEO his name is Barnett
of pop
sockets and pop suck it is the
that's
the phone case you put on your
smartphone and then the button
pops out
so you can hold on to it it's
very
popular with women so they can
walk
around shopping with their bags
with the
there's a bunch of these got it
well
right so the original pop
sockets which
is patented trademark but
patented for
sure and you know this is this
is a big
item like a hundred and seventy
million
units or sold but this guy
explains how
Amazon operates and well it's
not that
long I'll play this and then
that we can
discuss it if necessary so we
started
our direct relationship with
Amazon
about a year and a half into
business so
the
of 2016 we started selling
product to
Amazon Amazon in turn would
sell our
product on the marketplace it
was
immensely successful within
five months
Amazon became our largest
customer and
we became one of Amazon's most
significant players in the
mobile mobile
electronics accessory category
we were
pop sockets was the number
three search
term at some point on Amazon so
we had
immense success but despite the
success
we we never felt like we had a
genuine
partnership with Amazon so the
problem
of counterfeits is the first
problem
we'll talk about we had
enormous amounts
of fake product that were
taking our
sales creating bad customer
experiences
and of course it was illegal so
illegal
activity on behalf of those
selling them
and when Amazon was the seller
Amazon
was clearly engaged in this
illegal
activity and multiple times we
discovered that Amazon itself
had
sourced counterfeit product and
was
selling it alongside our own
product for
a year and a half we requested
the
Amazon take some action some
serious
action and just require
evidence from
sellers that they were selling
authentic
product after a year and a half
finally
in exchange for about 1.4 1.8
million
dollars of retail marketing
funds which
might my team deemed
ineffective Amazon
agreed to work with their brand
registry
department to require this
evidence so
the way it works now in Amazon
is if you
want to actually have your
product in
this case the guys original
product not
emit two imitation if you want
that to
even show up
you have to buy ads on Amazon
and these guys I mean it's it's
pretty
brazen what they're doing is
like okay
so we have a store and you're
in the
store and then you're very
popular in
the store then we're going to
promote
other products either like
yours or
complete ripoffs and illegal
product and
if you don't like it well we
can change
that but you have to advertise
its
advertising for Amazon's own
store this
is genius
it's truly evil Corp it's this
pretty
bad yeah oh my goodness these
guys
business scams which you pretty
hard to
regulate I don't know what you
do about
it I mean shopping at Amazon
because it
pull stunts like this or just
or you're
gonna try to make yourself
aware so you
don't buy the scam product you
know they
sold all kinds of crazy stuff
that is no
good I mean I remember there's
a company
that was selling memory sticks
that
would when you plug him in says
you got
two gigabytes but it's only
like 128
Meg's
because it was some trick that
was going
on they show lots of them
before they
took him off the market I
remind you of
the book publishing business
which I was
involved in enough so that when
Pearson
publishing started buying up
all the
computer presses they bought
all of them
they bought prentice-hall they
bought
Macmillan and they owned q and
if you
had a best-seller if you hadn't
wrote a
book that was like a real hot
book they
would have Q do a kind of a
copy or a
clone of the book and then they
would
promote that because with Q it
was all
all the writers were just paid
per book
they were never paid royalties
right
right royalties well let's just
shove
our interest over to the Q book
where it
nobody's getting any royalties
we sell
more books and then it would
they would
put their promotion behind the
Q book
this code this sort of thing
goes on
constantly in business it's just
horrible Microsoft used to be
known for
stealing people's ideas and
making kind
of cheap copies of them people
out of
business right well in this
case though
people have put all of their
trust and
their product and and
everything into
Amazon and it's putting
businesses
working mortar businesses out of
business you know people will
have to
start learning to support
businesses
directly I guess if they want
them to
stick around otherwise these
things will
go away that's that's just the
market
forces going away there's the
public but
isn't the public's
conscientious this is
lacking yeah
oh my god no more pop holders
what will
we do what will we do imagine
all the
people who could do we have a
few people
to thank for supporting our
show and

looking forward to that meet up
no
agenda meetups it's like a pod
a No
Agenda meetups dot-com and
thank you
always noteworthy mm-hmm is
that this
whole
thing especially with some of
these
great meetups where you'd like
in
Charlotte where you had 20
people and
New York had about the same is
that
before no agenda meetups calm
this
wasn't possible because using
the you
know the free services that are
just
junk from me but remember when
I would
went to a couple of meetup said
that
we're going through the old
meetups calm
and you go over the side so are
you you
didn't sign up fast enough you
did to do
this you got to do that you got
to jump
through hoops yeah because it's
all
arbitrary because it cuz you
weren't
calling the shots yourself
these guys
had a bunch of arbitrary rules
or what
you had to do and all the rest
of it it
was just it was just barriers
that made
it so you couldn't really do a
lot of
meetups cuz they would deflect
the it
was just it was just too rigid
it was
too restrictive there's no
agenda meet
up some doing stuff yourself
this is
what we're all we have our own
servers
for the for all and I just like
to
mention this is another
excellent
example of the value for value
system
our value for value Network
Daniel
tomash set up No Agenda meetups
comm and
you know that's his
contribution and he
took away all the headache and
look at
the result yeah I cannot agree
with you
more
and mentioning every Muslim
mentioned me
me who doesn't probably a lot
too more
work than she should
well no but you definitely need
to
mention me me me kidding yeah
but the
point is is that this is the
kind of
thing that it just shows you
that if you
if you don't you know you go
into these
these Silicon Valley ideas and
just
following following a lines of
your
Gmail and EPS calm and all
these other
systems and they always end up
failing
at some point leaving you in
the lurch
and this would bothers me about
LinkedIn
yeah I mean LinkedIn when I
first joined
him you could download your
your contact
listen and maybe use it in a in
your own
address system or whatever you
wanted to
do and they would have the email
addresses they stopped giving
you the
email addresses of your own
contacts for
years all we do is install apps
and say
I would like access to your
contacts is
that okay for years we've been
giving
Silicon Valley our contacts and
now
they're saying no backsies yeah
douchebags LinkedIn is a
pathetic shell
of itself because of that one
factor and
I would not advise people to
join it
even though they're not gonna
stop
because it's a good way to you
know
build up a lot of people
following you
and following them pick up
chicks yeah
it was an interesting article
in The New
York Times which was shared
widely and
I'm I think most no agenda
producers
were not surprised by this but
the rest
of the world suddenly figured
out that
wait a minute it's very easy to
figure
out who you are based on facial
recognition in fact the New
York Times
even wrote this secretive
company that
might end privacy as we know it
the
brother and the company is
called
Clearview AI to something very
simple
scraped all of the social media
sites
yeah
face bag probably LinkedIn if
I'm sure
you can scrape some youtube
venmo all
kinds of sites to gather you
know when
you know when you have a potty
ladies
I'm looking at you and you take
a selfie
with alt with your squad and
then you
tag everybody so this company
went in
and said oh look there's a
photo with
tags of people and then put it
in their
database you posted it online
so it's
very very appropriate for them
to use
that and store that in their
database
and using very simple facial
recognition
you can just say hey here's a
photo of
someone we got it off a closed
closed-circuit TV we got it off
me or
whatever it is you put it into
the
Machine and it then spits out
your name
and links to everywhere that
your name
has appeared on Facebook
YouTube Twitter
etc etcetera Instagram and 600
law-enforcement agencies are
using this
and apparently the New York
Times was
surprised as were many people
what they
can trust you gave the
information to
the world and now and I love
the the
headline secretive company is
that a
secretive company the guy's
name is Tong
tot hunt wanton tot and just
threw it
together yeah obvious thing to
do it was
a prize this is a big shock to
anybody
yes should be very naive whoo
what was
the tech writer who wrote that
what was
who was now hold on let me
check it out
the write the tech tech writer
tech
writer the tech writer Kashmere
hill
hmm whose Kashmir Hill I never
heard of
her
Kashmir Hill is a tech reporter
based in
New York she writes about the
unexpected
and sometimes ominous ways
technology is
changing our lives particularly
when it
comes to our privacy she joined
the New
York Times in 2019 after having
worked
as an investigative reporter at
Gizmodo
Media Group and to write at his
moto
investigator group editor at
fusion her
writing has appeared in The New
Yorker
and The Washington Times oh she
gave a
TED talk in 2018 she gave it
her TEDx it
just says TED talk what your
smart
devices know and share about
you in
which she described what
happened talks
have devolved into that in
which she
described what happened when she
transformed her apartment into
a smart
home and monitored the data
being sent
out of it well let's see she
may be
lying about that let's see if
it was a
TED talk or TEDx cuz that would
be funny
I'm gonna just be Ted for women
there's
Ted for women what is that
another
little offshoot it was a tear
oh no it
is no it's a let me see here it
is see
is this a Ted no it's a proper
Ted it's
a proper Ted Ted proper
not a cent at a TED talk to
discuss the
mundane and the banal yep she
got it
last year yeah Wow ya know a
year ago at
8 2018
yeah anyway that talks about
what you
know worms growing in the in
your walls
or something you know more
interesting
now the European Union is
looking at a
temporary ban on facial
recognition in
public places this is good in
fact a lot
of countries are doing much
better than
we are I got a note from one of
our
producers who is in the field
of our be
a robotics process automation
which I
cavalierly called screen
scraping this
goes back to the the company
plaid which
all of your financial apps are
tied into
the way they manage your bank
account is
by you stupidly enough giving
your login
and password to the company so
they can
then do anything they want
profile they
could do anything that you can
do in
front of your computer logging
in
yourself they in fact they they
replicate the human being a few
things
he wanted to share with us this
tech is
far beyond screen scraping the
tools are
capable of using image
recognition
optical character recognition
handwriting recognition neuro
linguistic
programming to some degree
machine
learning to simulate a human
user as
much as possible popular
platforms are
blue prism uipath automation
anywhere
but now Microsoft is also
entering the
field so what can they do given
access
to an account with credentials
absolutely anything the user
can do and
likely more with permission
from the
target company which would be
your bank
they're not defeated by Citrix
environment automation
prevention
measures although they are
slowed by it
they can use everything we
mentioned as
well as Dom do M which is
document
object model manipulation
JavaScript
injection api's anything you
can think
of they can use as data or a
data
connector Australia
interestingly has
legislated against this
they are it's called the
consumer data
right under this legislation
eventually
all industries not just banks
will need
to create standard API is that
give
customers the right to share
their data
with the apps the legislation
gives the
customer the right to
explicitly control
what data is shared what it is
used for
and they can require to be
deleted at
any time of course this is not
possible
with plaid even if you leave
them they
still had by the way I think
the easy
way to get rid of if you don't
if you
want to make sure that plaid
can't log
into your bank account is
change your
password and put in two-factor
authentication that seems to
stop them
dead in their tracks now you
won't be
able to use venmo cash app
Robinhood
acorns coinbase everything that
you do
money with on your phone but I
think the
No Agenda show would recommend
this is a
good thing to do is to leave I
have a
really good idea for people who
need to
do this kind of thing okay
actually
carry cash no they are still
available
its old-fashioned are you gonna
give
cash to your buddies to settle
the bill
of drinks no no no we can't
have that
cash and we keep a couple of
hunters in
your wallet you look like a
big-shot
we we missed our opportunity
once again
even though we should have both
understood this I'm very mad
mad our
exit strategy once again been
thwarted
we've been usurped we're idiots
we learned years ago that every
single
website that performs a public
service
does not necessarily have to be
a
nonprofit or governmental
website but a
public service would have to
have
everything annotated for the
for the
Deaf which means all videos
need to have
subtitles there's more than it
needs to
be this is Americans with
Disabilities
Act regulations yeah and we've
already
seen companies getting sued
over this
can you believe that we miss
this one a
deaf man filed a lawsuit
against pornhub
yeah he said and I think I
think he can
make this stand up in court to
coin a
phrase too and that will that
can you
imagine how much work that will
be to
create all of these all porn
videos make
sure they have subtitles and we
also
have to have a DA regulations
for for
the blind you need to have man
walks in
with Pizza woman opens door
scantily
clad that has to be that's
gonna be a
law it's gonna be a regulation
yeah I
agree we should have been suing
them
this has no a Joey wheeler I
can't hear
it I need help
yeah we missed the boat now you
have a
clip blitz for the end of show
if you
want yeah actually let's roll
up the
wheel
that's the clip blitz wheel
alright
blessed star with Putin stays
in office
Russia's government abruptly
resigned
today after President Vladimir
Putin
proposed sweeping changes to his
country's constitution that
could keep
him in power after his term
ends in 2024
the amendment would also give
the
Russian parliament greater
authority in
his state of the nation speech
in Moscow
Putin in sister news that his
overall
proposal followed the law he's
arguing
the amendments do not affect the
fundamental basis of our
Constitution
which means they can be
approved by
Parliament within the framework
of the
current law through the
adoption of the
corresponding constitutional
laws hours
later Prime Minister Dmitry
Medvedev and
his entire cabinet quit Putin
tapped
make I'll miss shootin who is
head of
the Russian Tax Service to be
the next
prime minister me too in China a
journalist and leading activist
in
China's fledgling me to
movement was
freed today after three months
Human
Rights Watch said that 30
year-old
Sophia
Wang Xuan Qin had been detained
on a
charge known as suspicion of
provoking
trouble she had reported on the
me2
movement on sexual harassment
in the
Chinese workplace and on the
protests in
Hong Kong flew in Kansas City
sorry I
dropped your clip the flu is
affecting
children particularly hard this
season a
rare strain of the virus is
going around
and it is proving deadly KCTV
5s Casey
Jones is live and she's been
investigating exactly why this
year the
season seems to be so bad she's
live now
from Children's Mercy on
Broadway case
here at Children's Mercy
they've been
seeing a lot of type B flu
cases that's
right on trend with national
numbers
most deaths and hospitalization
in
children have been linked to
this type
beat so doctors say to reduce
your
likelihood of ending up here a
vaccine
is the answer Lunar New Year
celebration
millions of Chinese began
heading home
today in the world's largest
annual
human migration travelers
crowded train
stations and airports bound for
reunions
with family so they can
celebrate the
Lunar New Year together on
January 25th
one more China population up
and down
okay
in China officials announced
that the
population grew again last year
to 1.4
billion even though the
birthrate
actually fell to its lowest
level in 70
years
meanwhile the working-age
population
declined but the number of
those over 60
grew they now make up 18% of
the total
Chinese population
good for January 19 2020 you
are up to
date with all the news that
matters in
our club you know what's kind
of funny
about the one of the clips
there's a lot
of hymns from obviously Judy
yeah on PBS
but was the one about and I
didn't
notice it until I just heard it
which is
this concept that the Chinese
that when
they celebrate the Chinese New
Year they
have a big migration yes oh
yeah people
in his only party but if the
wordage is
there heading home huh
now normally when you're
celebrating
some say we're gonna celebrate
something
you'd go go out you go out you
go out
you're not you know the the
beginning of
the migration is not heading
home so so
that implies that all these
millions of
Chinese that are gonna go
celebrate the
Lunar New Year guard home
they're all
you know in some box Cartman is
someplace just anywhere but home
they're at Foxconn yeah Foxconn
where
there's a million employees
yeah they're
you know they're trying not to
look into
the Nets that'll catch them if
they jump
out a window
unbelievable I do want to bring
us up to
speed on let's see there were
there were
actually some good hearings so
you know
the the Colorado antitrust
hearing was
it was kind of boring it was it
was
off-site it was a you know the
tearing
in the field but there was also
a
hearing about Afghanistan now
apparently
we're very close to or
according to the
Taliban who have tweeted know
what a
world what a time we live in
the Taliban
has tweeted that looks like
we're ready
to sign a deal sometime this
coming week
the president has been talking
about
this but of course we've been
too busy
with drop and Lev and cronies
and
Giuliani here's a report it is
one of
the few reports I could find
about what
was going on with the inspector
general
we know the the afghan papers
came out
the war has cost trillions of
dollars
immeasurable value in lives that
everyone's been lying
we've been shafted terrifically
by three
presidents now this will be the
third
one nobody seems to care
because Trump
orange man bad here's the voice
of
America's report John Sopko
Inspector
General of an independent
government
watchdog created by Congress to
combat
waste and abuse in the US
reconstruction
effort in Afghanistan Sherman
so the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
on
Wednesday a persistent
incentive to lie
about the progress on the
ground US
efforts in Afghanistan you
create from
the bottom up an incentive
because of
short timeframes you're there
for six
months nine months or a year to
show
success that gets reported up
the chain
and before you know it the
president is
talking about a success that
doesn't
exist and I think that's a good
issue to
look at not whether there was
line but
why the hearing comes one month
after a
Washington Post report that
government
officials misled the public
about us
gains in Afghanistan for years
and hid
evidence that the
war had become unwinnable the
newspaper
cited Seaguar documents as
evidence but
Richard voucher who served as
assistant
secretary of state without Asia
during
the Bush administration says
there was
no deliberate deception I think
all this
tried to tell the truth in
terms of what
was going on in the war the
difficulties
that we were facing the
difficulties of
getting things done you know in
a
chaotic situation like the one
in
Afghanistan despite notable
failures
experts say a rash exit from
the region
could lead to deadlier outcomes
we're at
a stage where we know we want to
withdraw but we want to do it
responsibly and that requires a
negotiation process we are so
trump
administration has been
negotiating a
peace agreement with the
Taliban to
finally bring the war to an end
well we
shall see but it's very very
upsetting
that no one that's certainly
not the
media who holds government
accountable
they don't seem to give a crap
about it
I mean there's hearings going
on there's
clips for the for the grabbing
there's
people to talk to you can
interview
people it's just like oh ho hum
with you
know how that goes silly old
government
dickheads
yeah that's pretty much a
summary there
that you nailed you got
anything for uh
before we leave you want
something funny
or interesting yeah it's funny
and kind
of interesting this is the
story comes
out of Kansas City it's
actually I think
it's really taking place in
Iowa but
this is the trial by combat guy
tonight
a paola man is making headlines
all over
the world he's proposed
throwing out a
judge's gavel and settling a
custody
battle with swords he's asking
a judge
for trial by combat you heard
that right
I demand a trial by combat we
can all
thank Game of Thrones for
bringing
attention to the phrase trial
by combat
I've seen the television show
and read
the books
that's what Paola is David
Ostrom had in
mind when he submitted these
court
filings in Iowa over a
protracted child
custody and money battle the
attention-grabber petitioner
demands the
court sanctioned trial by
combat to
resolve these disputes I'm not
interested in physically
causing harm to
anyone he's not violent or
crazy but
frustrated by what he considers
a system
that in some counties
specifically in
his case he says is stacked
against men
when it comes to issues of
custody and
financial support they've tried
to
ignore me not address equal
custody and
I think this puts the spotlight
on them
about five minutes long but
apparently
this guy's you can't get any
attention
so he's done this and now it's
become a
big issue and I was being
examined for
being unfair to men just one of
those I
roll are things like okay that
was
clickbait clickbait it's this
is how we
do clickbait on the no agenda
show we do
it at the end of the show
there's no
benefit to us slick bait just
click bait
and that's our deconstruction
for today
as we head towards the second
half
of the first month of 2020

forward to seeing you all back

be filed

shot he'll resign
