John C. Dvorak it's Thursday
February 13
20 24 20 get my nation Media
assassination episode 12 is no
agenda in
the morning everybody
I'm Adam curry and from
northern Silicon
Valley where we're we're dead
set
against the hanging of Roger
stone I'm
Jesse to correct all emotional
over it's
very difficult they gonna hang
the guy
yeah exactly
no you know what this was you
know what
this was don't you this was a
setup yeah
I heard that theory before
couple times
well then let me mention it on
the show
where you haven't heard it the
idea was
that the law fair group lawyers
so what
is presented as long term civil
servants
and working for the Justice
Department
yeah I know this was
impeachment lawyers
who came from the loft law fair
group
they decided oh here's a good
idea why
don't we get another
impeachment thing
started we're gonna ask for a
crazy
amount of time for Roger stone
and then
we'll resign and exactly what
they
wanted this will just be added
to the
impeachment 2.0 case well the
problem is
his mind-reading involved here
because
the idea was to get Trump to do
something about it all he do
note we are
something to do something about
it was
born it was tweet about it and
Bart had
never heard didn't bark and go
cuz
they're gonna bring him in he's
gonna go
testify he's gonna they're
gonna say did
the president tell you to do
this and
they used to say no John you'll
see it
and you're confusing logic with
what the
m5m likes to use in the machine
this is
all over the place Oh bar
should resign
the Trump oh no this is
obstruction
it has nothing to do with with
logic or
with truth or facts it's just
let's just
do something everybody come on
that's to
me that seemed pretty obvious
I'm
getting sick of it well no
there's that
there's that uh before we go oh
I
finally got the I so um the
President of
the United States I have all of
the
power I just I can't I can't see
anything else being used than
this it is
so dynamite good old burns to
coal it's
what an idiot see where are we
at when
we have to talk about Oh
Oscar's I guess
Oscars is all-time all-time low
yeah
well done well done they weren't
particularly fond of watching
their
celebrities that they go to
spend money
on it the movies lecturing now
about how
he should act well it wasn't
much of it
I mean there was only Brad Pitt
coming
out and bitching about not not
having
Bolton testify so I didn't see
that as a
huge anti-trump slam it's like
okay that
well but what do I think there
was a
what was interesting there was
the fact
that he said he only had 45
seconds yes
or did so the so the acting
award I mean
the makeup artist spent more
than 45
seconds thanking people well
you know
these speeches are even though
Brad Pitt
denies it there are companies
that write
these speeches for people and
they'll
write something funny for you
or give
you a little political message
whatever
you're looking for so I think
this was
maybe it's the the Norman Lear
Hollywood
group who sends out some
consultants
okay we got another thought
here maybe
they're on staff at the Oscars
who knows
but above all it is painfully
obvious to
me that just like in politics
where we
have an old guard and I'm not
being
aegis but at a certain point
you know
it's wearing this in this
transition
period where the we live longer
people
are you know
70 is the new 50 but you know
the lot of
the old ideas and thoughts and
ways and
means and racism to I'm sure
kind of
sticks and then we got the new
people
coming in and they all they all
want
woke 'no sand they want
different things
and they also communicate
differently
and how many Oscars were won by
Netflix
shows hello is this telling you
anything
Hollywood so you know they're
so deathly
afraid of having a host because
all
controversy yet I think it was
the the
comedian's who kind of made the
show
bearable to watch they paired
him up and
with Will Ferrell and what are
the
Saturday Night Live gals you
know it's
the that was kind of funny but
otherwise
it's just a dumb boring show
with to be
honest I don't think you nope I
saw a
parasite it's good movie is it
really
the best is it I'm asking I
haven't seen
it I've only watched the
beginning of it
I like the beginning oh it's
okay but
for all the hype I heard about
it once I
saw it and went oh you wait
until you
see what happens and then
there's
something it happens in the
movie like
okay that's cool that's that's
a good
twist and now you know just I
don't know
well I do have the one clip I
got which
is not the whole thing because
it
because for the 45 seconds
Joaquin got to speak for Best
Actor yeah
the Joker yes he spent 3
minutes and 11
seconds and never played him
off or
anything he went rambling on he
started
off by saying you know the
great thing
about being in this business is
that we
get a platform I never thought
that was
part of the deal but ok he
thinks he's
got a platform to go on and on
and on
about what he thinks is you
know what he
thinks is important and what we
need to
be hearing from him he said
actor he
should be reading lines and I
don't
believe anybody wrote this for
him it's
too discombobulated but do you
want to
play this is a short less than
a minute
of him going on about whatever
we go
into the natural world and we
plunder it
for its resources
we feel entitled to artificially
inseminate a cow and when she
gives
birth we steal her baby even
love her
cries of anguish are
unmistakable and
then we take her milk that's
intended
for a calf and we put it in our
coffee
and our cereal and I think we
fear the
idea of personal change because
we think
that we have to sacrifice
something to
give something up but human
beings that
our best are so inventive and
creative
and ingenious and I think that
when we
use love and compassion as our
guiding
principles we can create
develop and
implement systems of change
that are
beneficial to all sentient
beings and to
the environment we are the
world we
think we have to sacrifice
something to
give something up isn't that
like
redundant is that what you do
and your
sacrifice you are giving
something up
what is he talking about how
does it
what does that got to do with
putting
milk in your cereal you should
not be
drinking milk why do you drink
pus from
the cow it's crazy I've heard
it all my
daughter's big on that too
she's like
we're not meant to drink that
okay all
right yeah I guess baking with
it's okay
though is it all right to bake
with nope
with milk no how disgusting you
a
horrible person you don't care
about the
earth and the world and all his
creatures this is very bad very
very bad
that you're doing yeah yeah you
know
that the the Irishman that
costs a
hundred and ninety million
dollars why
on what were they drinking that
much on
CGI man so I got a look at
Netflix's
numbers I don't know if you
discussed it
with with Horowitz at all but
so they
currently they just raised
another two
Billy
dollars in with a bond which I
guess
would be a junk bond probably
or jump on
status I think that's what all
the
messaging was so they're total
debt is
14 billion dollars like a
Hollywood
studio but check this out their
budget
their content budget for 2020
just take
a wild guess
10 billion 15 billion dollars
that's
outrageous well they should at
least put
animated no agenda on their
stupid
channel I mean come on oh yeah
well
maybe we're not spending enough
on it
hey guys this is our demo and
we really
need a ten million dollars to
produce it
properly whereas this is
exactly what
you want Thank You Jennifer the
most
recent one the yes quite good
yeah this
is a 16 thousand lies
oh I tagged the president in it
if
everybody would please retweet
because
all we need is one retweet from
the
president one one I think this
is the
one that he might that he might
like or
might catch his eye it's a
video you
know dynamite idea yeah I mean
if we say
yes everybody go retweet this
to the
president yeah in fact don't
reach we
just tweet it copy it tweeted
again make
sure the video shows yes
between again
and retweet it let's see if we
can make
it happen I mean it's it would
be
fantastic that would really put
that
show on the map and I as I was
going
through the list again came
Jennifer's
done some phenomenal work we
have like
15 of these things out we were
like
dynamite you look like a real or
operation illusionist don't
look over
here plates spinning exactly
love the
plate spinning alright I found
that the
event the oscars were they were
dull and
yeah and by the way what with
this set
we were every year we kind of
talked
about this set looked like a
black hole
to hell it looked like this
something's
gonna suck you in and you're
gonna be
gone for like a black hole
it was knees movie the black
hole was a
black hole yes that's true
that's true I don't even
remember that
much from the show it was just
blatantly
boring I mean even then Elise
came over
here she's a super film nut you
know the
kind they'll be like well I
don't want
him to win for Best Director
because he
also directed that movie was a
piece of
crap and he's homophobic that
means
really deep deep deep into this
stuff
and even she was only there
because none
of these kids have television
she won't
she hasn't hung up the antenna
I gave
her for direct over-the-air so
she just
comes here it says yeah hey
I'll come
over and cook like mm-hmm
and because she wanted it watch
with
which was fun but man right
after the
the best movie oh well the
shows not
over oh well I gotta get up
early
tomorrow she's gone you know no
interest
no interest in the show
business around
it it's just none it's it I
think it's
they should really get rid of
this do
something else with the airtime
in the
Academy what is the Academy
it's just
slowly gonna grind down to a
stop it's
gonna kill itself yeah it's not
I don't
know there is nothing good
about it
no next year they of course
could ask
the creative or a consulting
group I'm
sure we could spice it up a bit
but even
then I'm worried about it it's
all right
so we had what else did we have
ah yes
well we have a some kind of
horse race
going on in the United States
for the
Democratic candidate for the
the 2020
election and it's it's getting
really
fun and hopefully you have
finally
decided to unfollow the
Democratic
operatives you place so much
trust in
because Joe Biden has been
dropped enemy
has been dropped all support is
gone I
told you he was only necessary
for the
impeachment because if he
wasn't if he
wasn't the front-runner then
he's not
really a political opponent now
and now
is he so they need mine's gonna
win
South Carolina Joe
Vytas not gonna win South
Carolina in no
way well you know what he's
given it a
good old try yeah this is a
this is from
a speech he gave I think it was
this
morning or yesterday we don't
feel tired
we've come too far from where
we started
and I don't believe he brought
me to
this farm to stop now
so he's speaking to a crowd of
a dose
and there where we heard that
before I
don't feel no ways tired
I don't believe he brought me
this far
you cannot tell me that there
is not a a
mole in the organization that
is is
messing with this sound that is
giving
him false information hey Joe
just tell
them we're in Nevada hey this
is great
Joe the blacks will love it Joe
just do
this just recite this job we
don't feel
nowhere he's tired maybe it was
a was a
gag please
there's no time for joking
around well
you know at the very beginning
I always
thought or at least I think the
two of
us agreed that he wasn't really
into it
that much and maybe never
really what
wanted to run because he's kind
of old
and this seems like a big
hassle yeah he
doesn't need the money yeah
obviously
and it and so he said was it
kind of
half half sincere about the
whole thing
and so he doesn't really care
but now I
think it's it's become kind of
a since
he's getting called out as a
loser
I think he's maybe he's got his
hackles
up and he maybe will like is
that you
actually be sincere about this
and
actually run that's why I think
he'll
win South Carolina Wow but
you're right
I could be I should divorce
myself from
and following these guys yeah
this
they're not helpful they did the
constant theme is Joe's gonna
be the guy
yeah and Bernie's got to go
yeah well
that Bernie's got to go is
agreed to and
there's all kinds of crazy
theories on
the mainstream as well this is
my
favorite this is my top
we're back with Jerry Falwell
Jr and
Jerry we've got about 30
seconds here do
you believe
Mitt Romney should be thrown
out of the
party for going against the
president I
think he's gonna leave the
party I think
I've heard speculation this
week that
he's positioning himself to be
a vice
presidential candidate for one
of the
Democrats and I think there
would be an
honest thing for him to do
because he's
been more in line with their
beliefs for
decades than the Republican
Party so I
hope this is his move to come
clean
finally I think what you hear
out there
I don't know if you can hear it
I can
there's a lot of applause out
there for
what you're suggesting
thanks so much here so the idea
is
the so-called unity ticket
between MIT
Romney as vice president and
John Kerry
as president I put it but I've
posted
this in the newsletter I know
but that's
there actually seriously
discussing it
they both they're both deluded
yeah well
the m5m is so desperate that
they'll
pick up any story as long as we
can not
say Bernie then it's okay I
guess let's
just do a quick recap of an
important
event here breaking news now the
chairman of the Iowa Democratic
Party is
resigning in the wake of the
disastrous
caucus process the technical
glitches
and delayed results there it is
we totally screwed over the
results we
couldn't actually give you the
results
the reason a glitch
thank you mainstream I feel so
much
better now that I know exactly
what
happened so that's it you
resign because
of a glitch no more questions
asked
it'll never come up again and
we'll
never have the final tally what
we I
don't care a democrat party
yeah who
cares it's about time they got
bumped
from the debt perch what else
you get
well I think that there was one
interesting thing actually
pulled this
from Rush Limbaugh say I've
never done
before there's my first cuz
he's you
know no I did be maudlin about
it but he
did have this he did find this
one
little tidbit this is the clip
17
through 24
no okay NBC News exit polls
showed last
night voters between the ages
of 18 to
29 made up only is this voice
higher
sounds higher it's funny that
you'd say
that because and I don't know
why this
is and it did a couple of
things I
noticed because I recorded a
bit of this
there's only a small small part
of all
the stuff I recorded never used
for one
thing he is his wave forms are
not
nearly
even close to being as
compressed as I
thought they were Oh
interesting it's
not like a compress to Andy's
am AM
radio generally and it's a very
uncompressed WAV form it
doesn't look
anything like a classic big big
booting
voices I mean like the No
Agenda show
which is a block of flat black
block a
flat yeah also when you hear
him doing
it it sounds deeper than when
you do the
replay and when he replay
Rihanna's
bitty replay some of his old
clips he
likes to do this you find a
clip from 10
years ago where he predicted
something
and he likes to harp on right
we hate it
too yeah we do that but anyway
he plays
his old clips and they sound
tinny it's
like what you know it sounds
like about
the reproduction of his show
that sounds
teeny it may be it sounds like
someone
I've heard I heard this reason
it sounds
like someone who's been
intubated you
know if you and you had the you
get
knocked out general anesthesia
this is
usually your voice is up a
couple of
days
what can his voice might be up
anyway
I'm sorry for interrupting that
anyway
because I very interested in
this the
kind of audio that comes out of
this
guy's show and it's not like
anything I
expected
NBC News exit polls showed last
night
voters between the ages of 18
to 29 made
up only 11 percent of the
Democratic
electorate far below the 19
percent of
18 to 29 year olds who voted in
2016 now
we keep being told that the
Democrats
have all this enthusiasts a
trump it's
just about beating Trump we've
got to
find anybody could beat Trump
Trump's
gotta go Trump's gotta go the
Democrat
Bernie doesn't care who they're
so
energized I hate Trump they
hate the
name-calling they hate the
mudslinging
may hate the tweeting they hate
Trump
they hate him they can't wait
to get rid
of Trump there is no such
enthusiasm
well according to that poll and
by the
way who's gonna replace me I
don't want
to be morbid about it but let's
just say
he goes into a year of
treatment and
just won't be a
to physically work I'm not
gonna say
it's gonna die because I'm not
like that
I don't think that way my mom
had lung
cancer I'd I remain positive
till the
very end just how long does she
have
before after her diagnosis how
long she
get going go well they the
diagnosed oh
the she was fine of course
except for
that she had a shitty cough and
we all
heard it like a death rattle
she went to
doctor oh guess what hey no
happy way to
say is she got lung cancer oh
and by the
way it's the shitty car okay
and the
minute they put her on chemo
that's when
you know the chemo of course
immediately
deteriorated it because that's
what
chemo does then they decided to
take out
a lung and she was cancer-free
for a
year then it came back and it
was just
months it was like three months
so fast
yeah but there's a void and I
don't
think Shaun watch on handy but
what's in
the Mark Steyn he's already got
his own
show none of these guys will
hold the
audience none of them are in
this guy
was a singular talent yeah and
but it
does leave a hole in that time
slot
across the nation but when I
date I'm
probably gonna record a few
more things
before I hate to be that way
but I've
noticed a couple of things in
his in his
bit cuz I used to always
talking about
inside baseball for people or
anyone who
wants to be a podcaster should
probably
be paying attention though is
that when
you listen to certain guys like
Jim Rome
who was a very interesting
talented and
he'll repeat stuff kind of say
the same
thing three or four five times
in a row
I never noticed until I
recorded this
some of this Limbaugh stuff and
and
listen to a second time and
then we
started editing it actually
that clip is
highly edited because he
repeated
himself the way Rome does a
couple of
times on the jib he says
something that
he's then he stops and pauses
and says
it again maybe adds another
word in
there so he he pads the show
with this
kind of repetitious approach oh
yeah I
don't know I'm gonna have to
listen to
Hannity and see if he does the
same oh
my god Hannity is unlistenable
I cannot listen I can't watch
them on TV
I can't leave I'm you know I
will
actually analyze it so we can
come back
and I can tell you why but it's
something about just his
presentation
yeah it's also a smugness I
think he has
the uber smug of the right yes
we get
that old style yeah it's like
uh he's
pretty much got the old smug
style not
that Limbaugh is not smug but
nothing
like Hannity he as Handy's got
that old
fashioned smug stop with the
modern
yak-yak-yak approach who or
he's not
taking you know he's the old
smug guys
just take a lot of calls this
is the new
smug anyway if I had if I had
the time I
guess I would start by would
start to
show streaming every single day
from
noon to 3:00 Eastern Time I do
it
immediately and give people a
choice
you can't do his exact stick
but you
there's a void there and it's
kind of
someone's gonna fill it up and
it's not
gonna be mark Stein it's not
even gonna
be the Rush Limbaugh Show
you know things do come to an
end but
that's pretty much keeping
thousands of
radio stations alive at this
point it's
gonna be a huge problem because
they
don't know you know these
substitutions
a lot of them in dan bond Geno
is one of
them guys you can only listen
to him for
they're not it there's
something wrong
with these other guys and
compared to
Limbaugh who's can keep your
attention
and he does good at his
analysis is good
that's the thing that's that's
interesting I've listened to
this guy
when I usually not up to
driving around
and listen to him but when I do
I'm
always impressed especially
during the
election season of his analysis
he had
an analysis I don't have a clip
of it
but he he discusses what the
Democrat
Party is going to have to do if
Bernie
wins and who's gonna be the VP
kind of
stuff we do know and he's got
this
theory that the Democrats this
is the
theory basically the Democrats
know
they're gonna lose the Trump
date the
insiders do hotshots the big
boys the
guys you follow so who are they
gonna
put up against Trump that can
take a
that can be beat up and without
hurting
the party long-term well he
thinks it's
Bernie because Bernie will be
beaten and
that'll be the end of this
socialism
crap we'll get it out of the
waste like
what happened with when they ran
McGovern right back in the day
well i
snicks i think that yes and as
we've
discussed here it is the
election
America deserves you know hey
you want
this guy this direction you
want that
guy that direction that's what
we
deserve I think they're truly
afraid
that Bernie would win mainly
because of
the do anything to get Trump
out and I
think there's apprehension on
that on
their part for that
it's everything feels like it
but with
Biden out the question is I'm
sorry
sorry let me in my world Biden
out in the world of MSNBC
Biden's out
what's interesting and I
watched a lot
of this coverage MSNBC is hands
down
just the one to watch if you
want to
know what the party line is
because they
keep bringing people on your
pundits who
are either consultants or that
it
clearly right you know they're
surrogates that Fox does that
too but it
they're really they're really
pretending
to be just interested parties
here for
the discussion and the
conversation so
joy Reid who was not a Dawson
you know
she's not a an african-american
in the
truest sense of the word but of
course
she represents black America
when it
comes to MSNBC and here's what
she had
to say there's only room for
her or
Buddha judge in that Lane and
Biden is
really there's there freezing
him out
and you know what I was saying
in the
break is that this is you know
this is
sort of a focus group of white
voters in
the Northeast in these two
state and
great in these two states what
I see
there is is that the people
coming out
of New Hampshire
none of that none of those
people have
residents with black voters
none of them
do the one who has resident no
the ones
who have residents are Biden
was getting
crushed and if he doesn't work
out what
I'm hearing from black voters
consistently if Biden goes down
they're going to Bloomberg but
listen to
the exact word she's saying
she's saying he's getting
squeezed she's
she is repeating line she's
heard
Biden's getting squeezed he's
not gonna
make it black voters and then
what I'm
hearing what I'm you know and
the
confusion of course is all
cheap team is
black so she must know what
African
Americans are thinking what I'm
here
know what she's hearing is from
the
Hillary Kent Clinton clamp a
camp or
maybe it's Hillary in Bloomberg
camp I
actually tried to register
Bloomberg
Clinton 2020 it's been taken
and all of
those are gone Bloomberg
Clinton dot-com
also gone so she's she's
instructed to
tell black people that they
should go to
Bloomberg there's no other way
to see
this and of course she did
massive black audience MSNBC
has it's
not you get my point
yeah she tried to push the
messaging
there on behalf of Hillary well
there
was one other message that came
in on
behalf of Hillary and let me
see where
was this lady hmm well okay
that sucks
but while you're looking for
that
continue I do have a wrap up of
the New
Hampshire thing and this is off
a Fox
radio this is the New Hampshire
rap from
Fox radio former Massachusetts
governor
Deval Patrick suspends his
presidential
campaign becoming the third
Democrat to
drop out following Andrew
listen again
former Massachusetts governor
Deval
Patrick's to Spain right at the
moment
he should have been there for
black
America oh no no no no I mean
the third
Democrat to drop out following
Andrew
yang and Senator Michael Bennet
after
the New Hampshire primary New
Hampshire
went for Bernie Sanders we're
going to
Nevada we're going to South
Carolina
we're gonna win those faces but
a close
second was former mayor Pete
Budaj
in this election season we have
been
told by some that you must
either be for
revolution or you are for the
status quo
but where does that leave the
rest of us
now Joe Biden who finished in
fifth
place left early to campaign in
South
Carolina and Super Tuesday
states and
beyond the senator Amy
Klobuchar said
she's headed to those states
after
coming back with a third place
finish
Elizabeth Warren who came in
fourth
predicted a long primary fight
ahead I
found my clip another person
who showed
up with Chris of Chris Matthews
was
Adrienne L door and if you saw
her you
be oh yes I know who this is
Elrod I'm sorry Adrian Elrod
she's a
shell rod like Elrod Hubbard
Elrod echo
Lima Romeo Oscar Delta Elrod
and let me
see if I can find it now she is
the
daughter of lifelong friends of
daughter
of parents of lifelong friends
of Bill
and Hillary as she was Hillary
for
America strategic director
communications and surrogates
what's
your first name again
Adrienne ADR Adrienne sent me
cute she's
like 40 you know your typical
she would
actually do well on Fox she has
been a
commentator on Fox News Fox
Business but
you know I'm looking at she's a
blonde I
don't recognize her
hmm well I watch more MSNBC
than you do
so and for good reason yeah I a
premature death so she she's
held a
variety of positions at 2008
Hillary
Clinton presidential campaign
let me get
the point she is not just has
not been
working not just working for
Clinton but
she is also family friends and
so she
yes
and she's on the same the same
panel
with a joy read and listen to
what so
I'm just gonna presume
everything that
comes out of her mouth is
coming from
the Clinton camp it seems only
logical
to believe this a lot of money
I think
you can spend a billion dollars
easily
it probably makes a billion
dollars
during the course of this
campaign
seriously he's just dipping
into the
tail as it comes in
what happens if he's the
candidate
against Trump is he gonna would
he be
able to leave the Democrats
while he's
running the Democratic primary
and he's
doing pretty I wish that was
the ad that
I saw Joe Biden closing with a
New
Hampshire so she's right away
absolutely
he's running the whole camp
absolutely
absolutely
something's up interesting
analysis how
could it be anything else so
the the
thinking I have is first of all
March
3rd which will be an
interesting date
because that's when I'm on
Rogan is
Super Tuesday and I think we
will see
the equivalent of an atomic
nuclear bomb
of money being dropped on Super
Tuesday
by Bloomberg it's just gonna be
and by
the way the guy is running it
it looks
as if he was the vice president
for
Obama have you seen the ads so
yeah well
that's one set of the ads where
do we
see all the ads okay well I've
seen the
one Rees with Obama here he's
in the
helicopter with Obama he's in
fact when
he says I'm Michael Bloomberg
and I
approve this message
I at one point I thought I
heard I'm
Barack Obama and I approve this
message
it was just it's crazy and kind
of
insulting towards Joe yeah I
think
they're meant to be insulting
towards
Joe no joke and not yet Obama
didn't
help him no and Obama's not
gonna say
anything until there's a
candidate I
think that's why he's not
making a big
deal out Joe's using some Obama
clips
now as we already know he's
already on
the hall you know the Biden
Obama
administration sad man it's sad
to watch
so static but I'm happy about a
me you
know I'm a big fan she's she's
got a
little juice there she'll uh
she's on
the radar she will not become
president
but she will but she will have
elevated
her status I think she's
probably a good
a good senator I think she'd be
she's
good at that
she doesn't have to do much
more people
like her and and she she
brought what
was necessary to the to the
conversation
to kind of shake it up and then
all
that's left is this amazing
surge for
SIOP Pete who I spoke to poach
anak
yesterday ah briefly and and he
says
what are your clues that
because I said
I'd mentioned the conversation
the SIOP
Pete says Oh what do you think
it was
just clearly he's a spook he's
he's been
he's been planted just like
Obama you
know CIA handlers he says
what's your
clue I said well Rhodes Scholar
Harvard
elite a Notre Dame he said yeah
what's
the other one I did think for a
second
and then it hit me
aiya Mackenzie of course and
that's
that's really the giveaway
Mackenzie these guys they are
the
consultants to the
military-industrial
complex they are the
consultants to Wall
Street today that it's the big
one
and they're they embed embed
with these
organizations and if you listen
if you
listen to him speak it's like
not a word
is out of place not a single
word is
wrong nothing that could be
misconstrued
as anti anything it's just it's
perfect
I'm actually I'm not even sure
he's gay
that may be an act to you know
is his
husband is an improv artist
that's what
he does improv oh that's a
funny idea
why not it's perfect
don't focus on Mackenzie kiss
yeah don't
focus on Mackenzie focus on me
being gay
yeah well somebody posted a
picture of
him in Afghanistan and then
noted that
he he had it look like I've the
whole
picture was a fake the intro
badges nope
attaches no there's no name tag
no
nothing he wasn't standing over
a dead
Iraqi digging Jerry read one of
those
too that's funny that he's not
gay
yeah well I just I mean I don't
know I
don't want
take anything away from him
it's just
for a moment then like well if
you
wanted to distract from your
obvious
spook background which is rarely
mentioned the it's it's it's
just so
similar to Obama that you know
community
organizer whenever they say
mayor Pete
it was and I get he's no longer
than
mother the media is in on this
deal I
mean they're they would never
they never
it wasn't even harped on that
George HW
Bush was actually the director
of the
CIA for for a while and in
Dallas I
guess during the shooting of
Kennedy and
who which may or may not be
true but it
seems like a good story but
that was
never discussed much it seemed
fine oh
yeah oh director of the CIA's
secret
police is run in the country
that makes
sense why not what's wrong with
that
what's your problem
nobody's recept bringing up the
fact
that Buddha judges a spook yeah
well it
just seems like seems
abundantly clear
to me abundant that clear
so what else it but Jenny got
to say
well actually it wasn't what he
said but
we were talking and then an
idea hit me
and I actually want to do a
little
presentation if you don't mind
oh whoa
it's a little the structure of
the show
well no no that's not true from
time to
time we do presentations okay I
mean
it's I just wanted I was
looking at
Trump and China and China China
China
China and it probably the first
thing
that got me going was this
front line
special on Trump and trade
Trump and
trade and China this'll this'll
set it
up despite the uneven
consequences
President Trump was all in on
the tariff
strategy
it's a strategy he's been
talking about
for years as far back as the
late 1980s
when he first tested the
possibility of
becoming president
I guess the fame developer
Donald Trump
of New York back then the
Trump's target
was Japan for what would its
trade
practices the fact is that you
don't
have free trade we think of it
as free
trade but you right now don't
have free
trade and I think a lot of
people are
tired of watching other
countries
ripping off the United States
this is a
great country
he believed from the beginning
that
there's really nothing worse
than being
laughed at
they laugh at us behind our
backs they
laugh at us because of our own
stupidity
by the way here's Trump with a
much
higher voice - which of course
is due to
age and this is the 80s this is
1988 and
he came to see the Japanese as
laughing
at the United States a taking
advantage
of the United States by
stealing the
jobs by dumping product here we
let
Japan come in and dump
everything right
into our markets and I mean
it's not
free trade if you ever go to
Japan right
now and try to sell something
forget
about it out but just forget
about it
it's almost impossible after
Japan's
economy crater Trump shifted
his ire to
a rising economic power China
they are
ripping us like we've never
been ripped
before if you look at Japan if
you look
at China where we lose a
hundred billion
dollars a year with China she's
been
saying the same thing for 30
years
Donald Trump has a very binary
view of
life and certainly of the world
and and
so to confront China which he
perceives
as America's most important and
dangerous rival and to be able
to use
blunt instruments against them
and to
come out and at least be able
to say
that you're a winner and
they're a loser
there's it's hard to imagine
anything
more appealing to the core of
his
personality so I've been
wanting to play
clips of him talking about
China decades
ago so and I had to even
forgotten that
he cuz I was in New York when
he was
coming up 87-88 and everyone was
everyone loved Trump half those
interviews are from Oprah and
he even
said of Oprah you should be my
vice
president anyway that's when
everyone
still loved him so clearly he's
always
had a grasp of the issues with
the trade
imbalance and it's when Japan
was no
longer a threat he shifted to
China it's
not just the media that is
saying
this his his number-one guy
when he when
he ran the campaign Steve
Banyan says
the same first time ever met
Trump I was
you know coming out of Goldman
Sachs and
and and and being somebody
they've been
in finance for a number of
years I was
set to be unimpressed I was
actually
very impressed and he didn't
know a lot
of details he knew almost no
policy but
what I found most extraordinary
was when
we got to the section on China
which I
kind of threw out there of a
two-hour
meeting almost 30 minutes or
more was
all about China we have a 500
billion
dollar deficit trade deficit
with China
the only thing he had formed as
a
worldview was China because we
can't
continue to allow China to rape
our
country and that's what they're
doing
it's the greatest theft in the
history
of the world talking this kind
of
vernacular that kind of hit
people in
the gut and particularly we
talked about
trade and jobs and jobs shipping
overseas was his message to
these people
on trade china's to blame yeah
the
message is very simple is that
the elite
ship the jobs overseas and I'm
gonna
bring it back and if I if I
look at our
show clip archive we had stuff
about
China before before the 2016
election
but it wasn't really much it
wasn't on
our radar unless you can
remember some
specific instance where we were
talking
about it in the past before
Trump came
on the scene I think you'd only
in
passing yeah there once about
growl a
little bit like everybody did a
little
bit but nothing nothing big we
didn't
really care so Trump comes out
comes on
the scene and during the the
initial
election process in the
campaign you
pretty much this is it let's
say China
China China China China China
China
China China China you go over
to China
China China China China China
China
China you take China China
China I love
China China China China China I
have to
have my China right China China
China
now he ran that into
everybody's head
and he of course connected it
to the
complete removal of
manufacturing in the
United States this is before the
before the campaign this is mm
are you
eating something no trying to
sort
through these papers I'm
looking for
something keep going okay what
interrupt
your own presentation I want to
make
sure you're not bored that's
that's my
biggest fear my biggest fear is
my
second stop stop if I'm a
little bored I
usually say something to get
you to move
along a little bit and then you
get mad
at me but it's not for me never
to say
something I've always say
something no
but I heard you rustling papers
so I'm
like resting papers I am I I
can move
the mic so won't you wanna hear
it I
just don't want to be bored for
you okay
you're doing fine go back to
China
except for these interruptions
2010
here's what Trump had to say
you know we
don't manufacture anything
anymore in
this country we do health care
this is
1010 years ago let me just
remind you
ten years ago you know we don't
manufacture anything anymore in
this
country we do health care we do
lots of
different services but the big
service
is manufacturing everything's
made in
China for the most part between
China
India and others but China in
particular
and frankly they're sending
stuff over
here and we're paying for it
and you
know sort of interesting very
little tax
if any paid and yet you can't do
business in China you're not
allowed to
do business in China it's almost
impossible to do business in
China yet
they take our business from
North
Carolina from South Carolina
from
Alabama they make boys they
then sell
them to this country they make
tremendous profits and they
then they
loan this country money in the
form of
Treasuries and I think it's
terrible so
what do we do about China this
is an
issue that you're obviously
really
passionate about you know look
at what
Google has done taking a stand
in China
I think we're not going to do
business
this way you know you've got
that's how
long ago this was when Google
pretended
to take a stance against China
I think
we're not going to do business
this way
you know you've got big
businesses with
very different takes on China
lots of
different businesses but when
it comes
to manufacturing China's making
all of
these products and they could
be made in
North Carolina they could be
made in a
lab
they could be made in lots of
our places
and right now they're not
personally I'd
tax China because it's not a
free trade
country I would tax China very
very
heavily and the money that
you'd get
from that tax because some of
the
products would still get
through even
with the tax but it would
create jobs in
this country
so what Trump is saying ten
years ago
which is the most recent one
where I
found it we put it all together
he's
because of the imbalances
because of how
China doesn't play fair and
makes their
product so incredibly cheap
below cost
of what we could do it here
every
everyone has sent everything
over to
China and the more I look at it
the more
amazed I am at what has
actually gone to
China in fact I'll just stop the
timeline this is rosemary
Gibson she
wrote a book called China rx
which you
won't hear about because no
mainstream
media outlet is going to let
you rail
against the pharmaceutical
industry but
it's pretty bad it began in the
early
90s when generic drugs really
came came
out strong President Reagan was
bipartisan in the 80s let's
have a
generic drug act and that made
medicines
a lot cheaper for people the
brand-name
products would go off patent so
let's
make generics and so over time
how do we
make these cheaper and so we
started
sourcing the ingredients to
make them in
China and then once we opened
up free
trade this was a real real
stunner so
when we opened up free trade
and trying
to join WTO the next year we
lost our
last aspirin plant we've lost
our
ability to make vitamin C we
don't make
the ascorbic acid anymore
that's when
the last penicillin plant
closed can't
make the core components the
acetylsalicylic acid in the
ascorbic we
cannot make it here and that's
because
not just opening quote free
trade but
China cheats it with our
medicines and
cartels they form these cartels
they
dump it on the global market at
below
market prices and they drove
everybody I
didn't know that we don't even
make our
own aspirin or vitamin C
anymore or that
we apparently don't even have
the
capability to do it
and this is well you probably
recover
the capability oh we could but
not like
you said hey I want it tomorrow
of
course we know well that would
take you
would take them you could do in
a few
months though but it is also
it's your
you know what people don't give
a shit
about this because you're not
sick I'll
tell you if you knew that that
we can't
make viagra in America people
would lose
their shit what China's
controlling my
dick a lot so it's just a
matter of what
you know and what you don't
know so
Trump gets in his main messages
build a
wall which he also connects to
jobs etc
and meant we got to bring
manufacturing
back that was this consistent
message
before China really it was we
got to
start the manufacture I got to
bring
steel we got to have our own
steel we
don't have a country it's
National
Security need manufacturing and
whether
it's twelve thousand factories
or twelve
hundred I don't know he started
something we will pour new
concrete lay
new brick and watch new sparks
light our
factories as we Forge metal
from the
furnaces of our Rust Belt and
our
beloved heartland which has been
forgotten it's not forgotten
anymore we
will put new American steel
into the
spine of our country American
workers
will construct dreaming new
lanes of
Commerce across our landscape
they will
build these monuments from
coast to
coast and from city to city we
will
embark on a wonderful new
journey into a
bright and glorious future we
will build
again we will grow again
we will thrive again and we
will make
America great again right so
then he
gets into the whole it gets in
and then
this is I think that's the from
a State
of the Union his first one and
then he's
talking trade wars tariffs
we're gonna
finally he's got the power he's
gonna do
it he said I'm gonna screw what
he's
been promising for all these
years I
would tax him I would tax him
China of
course calls his bluff very
consistent
US President Donald Trump says
he wants
to hit China with a big fine on
trade
put in the capital Beijing
experts and
insiders say there's little
sense of a
crisis voices in the US business
community have warned China
that the US
president is serious about
tough action
on trade and he told Reuters in
an
exclusive interview a potential
big
damages are on the way however
Reuters
Michael Martina in Beijing says
officials think Trump is
bluffing so
here in China the sense we get
is that
Chinese officials aren't overly
concerned about the threat of
trade
action by the Trump
administration for
one they feel that perhaps the
Trump
administration doesn't happen
to be the
political standing and sort of
will to
endure the economic fallout and
well we
did and he did and he put the
tariffs on
too much the grinning of the
markets and
it was I mean we forget these
things or
at least I do and the oh shit
yeah I
remember we almost pissed off
about it
what's going on do we have a is
there a
trade wars a no trade war and
everything
seems to be okay we still have
tariffs
but then there were a couple
other
things some economic blows ZTE
we're
like now you can't sell here
anymore
Android you can't have that 5g
yeah
we're not so sure we want you
in our
networks so this is pushing
these are
economic economic warfare
pushing down
pushing back and then we get
phase one
of the trade deal and phase 1
has some
very specific things that China
must do
although of course they have an
out
under the force majeure clause
which
says well you know if something
happens
and we can always figure it out
later
but that takes place then we
have bar
who is the Attorney General
we have Pompeo the Secretary of
State
going out into the heartlands
to talk
about what we need to do about
China's
encroachment on pretty much
everything
so I think this is the clip
that I
played the way this is this is
Pompeo
he's setting them up here this
is the
National Governors Association
the
winter meeting which was just
held last
year I received an invitation
to an
event that promised to be quote
an
occasion for exclusive
deal-making it
said quote the opportunities for
mutually beneficial economic
development
between China and our
individual states
are tremendous
Tendo quote deal-making sounds
like it
might have come from President
Trump but
the invitation was actually
from a
former governor I was being
invited to
the us-china governor's
collaborations
summit it was an event
co-hosted by the
National Governors Association
and
something called the Chinese
People's
Association for friendship and
foreign
countries sounds pretty
harmless what
the invitation did not say is
that the
group the group I just
mentioned is the
public face of the Chinese
Communist
Party's official foreign
influence
agency the United Front work
department
now I was lucky I was familiar
with that
organization from my time as the
director of the Central
Intelligence
Agency but it got me thinking
how many
of you made the link between
that group
and Chinese Communist Party
officials
what if you made a new friend
while you
were at that event what a few
new friend
asked you for introductions
other
political politically connected
and
powerful people what if your
new friend
offered to invest big money in
your
state drafts in your pension in
industries sensitive to our
national
security
these aren't hypotheticals these
scenarios are all too true and
they
impact American foreign policy
significantly indeed last year
Tankian
yes
so is he expressing this as
though this
is a new phenomenon now he
stumbled upon
and everybody else was
oblivious to know
even though no Warner was he
when he was
a head of the CIA and this was
going on
this has been going on yeah
that's for 20 years that's the
point bar
is probably introducing this to
these
governors who are a bunch of
tired
looking people in this audience
and he's
saying hey we know this has
been going
on we know what's happening
he's doing
it rhetorically because of the
audience
that he's speaking to he
doesn't want to
say hey you shitheads
are you insane Akbar those
Pompeo
correct he's what he's saying
is hey you
shitheads look at what you've
done
you've compromised possibly
compromise
national security you've let
them in
you've taken money from them so
he's
it's a friendly way of saying
this is
not good what you've done and
powerful
people what if your new friend
offered
to invest big money in your
state
perhaps in your pension in
industry
sensitive to our national
security
these aren't hypotheticals these
scenarios are all too true and
they
impact American foreign policy
significantly indeed last year
a Chinese
government back think-tank in
Beijing
produced a report that assessed
all 50
of America's governor's on their
attitudes towards China they
labeled
each of you friendly hardline or
ambiguous I'll let you decide
where you
think you belong someone in
China
already has so you know he's
setting him
up he's setting him up teeing
him up for
what he's got to say meanwhile
the same
week this is just last week the
same
week Barr talked up the to a
bunch of
entrepreneurs and captains of
industry
about 5g in other countries
that do not
want to put their economic fate
in
China's hands are not going to
install
always infrastructure we have
to have a
market ready alternative today
you need
a system that will allow you to
seamlessly migrate your
installed 4G
base to you to 5j there's been
some
proposals that these concerns
could be
met by the United States
aligning itself
with Nokia and/or erection so
that was
his and this is the this is the
Attorney
General out there doing these
speeches
they've been sent into the
field the
final clip which makes it even
a little
bit more clear nothing we
haven't talked
about since almost the
beginning of this
but Pompeo again reiterates to
the
governor see FBI director and I
think
the Attorney General to talked
yesterday
about something called a
thousand
talents plan its plan to recruit
scientists and professors to
transfer
the know-how we have here to
China in
exchange for enormous paydays
the
program is probably targeted
campuses in
your state indeed the
Department of
Justice has indicted professors
in my
home state at the University of
Kansas
at a Virginia Tech and at
Harvard a
Texas A&M investigation
reportedly
scarred more than 100 academics
participating in Chinese talent
recruitment plans only five of
them had
declared that they were
participating in
this program and goodness knows
what
else we've not discovered there
aren t
very credible reports of Chinese
government officials pressuring
Chinese
students students studying
right here in
the United States of America
tamaño
monitor fellow Chinese students
and to
report back to Beijing many of
you are
familiar with Confucius
Institutes
Confucius Institutes purport to
have the
sole purpose of teaching
Mandarin
language skills and Chinese
culture a
bipartisan Senate committee
found last
year in 2019 that the Chinese
Communist
Party controls nearly every
aspect of
the Confucius Institutes
activities here
in the United States over the
past few
months the University of
Missouri the
University of Kansas the
University of
Maryland have independently
decides to
close down the Confucius
Institutes
after conducting their own
reviews in
schools in 22 other states are
doing or
have already done the same
sadly China's
propaganda campaign starts even
earlier
than college China has targeted
K
through 12 schools through its
Confucius
classrooms the ccp's program to
influence kids in elementary
middle and
high schools around the world
do you
know that we have no ability to
establish similar programs in
China I'm
sure that doesn't surprise you
the
president Trump's talked about
reciprocity and trade we should
have
reciprocity in all things today
they
have free rein in our system
and we're
completely shut out from theirs
as of
2017 there were five hundred and
nineteen of these classrooms in
the
United States
Beijing knows that today's kids
are
tomorrow's leaders to China
competition
is happening it's happening in
your
States and it's a competition
that goes
to the very basic freedoms that
every
one of us values
so to summarize Trump has been
on to the
Chinese
for decades he sees the threat
he sees
what the seeping in of the
Chinese all
throughout our everything our
schooling
our economy our manufacturing
all
manufacturing is is was gone we
can't
even make our own
pharmaceuticals if we
needed to but at the drop of a
hat he
he's he just doesn't he's I
think he saw
it as war that we were attacked
so he
sets up a new manufacturing Ben
boom I
don't know how far it is but I
guess
we're doing something we got a
we got a
plant here or plant there then
it's like
oh the Chinese are gonna be
investing
money here Jack Ma is gonna put
money in
this so we can handle some of
that
manufacturing we get a trade
deal in
place the economy is starting
to have a
problem in China mainly just
their own
financials you know they they
lie about
everything so they have this
whole IOU
secondary money flow that is
probably
stopped right now all of this
stuff is
set up and then all of a sudden
when
China is arguably a little bit
weak
Wuhan flu now tell me we are
not at war
with China and whether that was
a
targeted strike from us or a
very
coincidental happenstance this
is war
and we just may be issued a
kill shot
well I like the presentation
thank you
I'm not going to go as far as
you went
with the conclusion I think
there's a
there's no proof that the Wuhan
flu is
anything other than what it is
a another
corona virus which the tax
Chinese just
naturally and they're but can I
can I
just interrupt you I didn't say
this was
a bio weapon it's just a flu I
think it
passes I think it will be gone
there's
just a lot of Chinese and maybe
he just
took advantage of the situation
maybe
the belt 19 man maybe this is
all media
hype maybe it isn't all that
bad maybe
all the stuff we're hearing has
been
manufactured maybe there's not
really
half-a-million dead and these
satellite
photos maybe that's not bodies
burning
maybe it's all just media and
what it is
done successfully is you know
bike parts
are no longer being shipped
there's an
actual steel manufacture Skol
force
Mazurek just summarize what
you're gonna
say just but whatever the
reason or how
this ever came about which is
not
uncommon in China for these
epidemics to
take place exactly the fact
that it they
had to shut down the city of
Wuhan
that's the only thing we can be
sure of
I don't believe any of the
crematorium
stuff it makes no sense and but
they did
do a complete shutdown and it
resulted
in shortages that American
manufacturers
now have to deal with yes is is
the the
warning shot is hey this is
what you
guys have done to yourself
you've become
so dependent on this one
channel that
what happens if this child goes
away
completely that have excellent
point
that's I'd like that even
better as the
conclusion that this is more
this is
what I'm sorry well I didn't
get to the
second part which is a warning
shot to
US manufacturing that part I
hadn't but
that makes total sense this or
someplace
those people but while we were
all
looking at Russia and
impeachment and
Ukraine this has just been
going on in
the background has just been
happening
just like I guess now that in
the in the
latest spending bill there is
actual
money to build the wall which
you know
no one is out there yelling
that he
can't do it they have other
other things
that are more powerful because
they know
that most Americans want some
kind of
border protection so that's why
you know
vid Minh you know like whatever
was in
men I hear he purged seventy
from the
national security council
seventy people
yeah no he's trying to what get
bloated
with no kidding 250 or
something like
that is a bunch of people that
should be
like you used to be like 20
people total
yeah now this is like all these
people
that Obama shoved in there as
you know
kind of like almost like it was
a
patronage he's from Chicago
yeah and patron is just the way
to go in
other words you got you create
something
just keep stuffing peep
they don't have anything to do
there
they just get a paycheck yeah
and that's
what Dubois Chicago politics
used to
always be it was called
patronage and
that is when you wonder you
became the
mayor you got the people
there's all
these empty slots and you get
to put all
your buddies in here you see a
little
bit of that in places like
Berkeley
where when one of the mayor's
got you
know got in he first thing he
did was
take city money and build a
bunch of
housing and put all his pals in
there
it's what you do what you do
it's
old-fashioned way of doing it
and that's
what Obama did quite nicely
a little Trump sees no reason
for
patronage he just says his
family and
they sort of get rid of all
these jokers
yeah
so anyway it'll be very
interesting to
see what the next moves are but
that's
how I'm looking at it I'm
looking at it
from a I this and part of this
was
p'chenk is very adamant about
saying
we're not gonna have kinetic
Wars
anymore it's not going to be
it's just
not he's is gonna all be cyber
his space
is very important although he's
very
down on the idea of the Air
Force
initially Manning the space
force he
thinks they're no good like
really it
really thinks they're no good
he's all
into the National the the
National
geospatial agency which changed
their
name to the geospatial
intelligence
agency yeah recently they had
to do that
for their pride because that's
what they
were doing all along yeah until
everyone
else came in were there stupid
internet
what the hell man you with your
internet
spying that's no good I'm just
gonna
look at it that way that that's
what a
lot of this is about and you
know we're
all running around take it to
the next
step with the secondary
presentation
okay why are the Democrats and
specifically the Liberals and
the
swellest socialists even all of
them are
so dead set against Trump
accomplishing
what he's trying accomplish
well that's
easy
what is it the benefit what is
he that's
easy that's easy money there is
I mean
Washington DC is just filled
with
lobbyists who have
tons of Chinese money they own
Hollywood
China owns most of Hollywood at
this
point and one of the main guys
in DC is
ambassador cui Tiankai and this
is a
mover a shaker he's at all the
right
parties he's got tons of dough
you can
register it and most people
don't but
you can register under Farah a
foreign
agency registration foreign
agent
registration act and you can go
just be
in bars talk about China talk
him up how
about New York Times Square
where's that
money go there's money there's
tons of
money going into campaigns it's
it's
it's rife of course corrupt
from the
check it's Chinese corruption
has taken
over the Democrat parties that
were
saying and I'm not just the
Democrat
Party come on let's be honest
about this
at all politicians are
susceptible to
this but the Democrats yeah
Obama bowed
when he went to check on fellow
about soullow oh they were all
about
China because that's where all
the money
was you know there's a lot of
sins are
also about China they give the
nuclear
secrets yeah and then I can see
Romney
being all up in China because
of his you
know connection to bain
Capital's
Chinese money of course
well we're doomed I do have a
clip from
Face the Nation me gather some
bo la
daredevil clue we're getting no
Chinese
money thank you how good life
would be
listen China we've got your
number Joe
you want us to let up you know
Dvorak
org slash na we'll talk so
here's the
Chinese ambassador was on Face
the
Nation with a very interesting
way of
evading the question about the
Wuhan
enlasa the coronavirus being a
possible
biological agent listen
carefully
Senator Tom cotton who sits on
the
Senate Intelligence and Armed
Services
Committee suggested that the
virus may
have come from China's
chuckle warfare program that's
an
extraordinary charge how do you
respond
to that
I think it's true that a lot is
still
unknown and our scientists
Chinese
scientists American scientists
scientists of other country are
doing
their best to learn more about
the virus
but it's very harmful it's very
dangerous to stop suspicion
rumors and
spread them among the people
for one
thing this will create panic
another say
that it will send up racial
discrimination xenophobia or
decision
that will really harm our joint
efforts
to combat the virus of course
there are
all kinds of speculation and
rumors
there are people who are saying
that
these viruses are coming from
some
military lab not of China maybe
in the
United States how can we
believe all
these crazy things do you think
it's
crazy where did the perhaps
totally
crazy where did the virus come
from we
still don't know yet it's
probably
according to some initial
outcome of the
research probably coming from
some
animals but we have to to
discover more
about it it's interesting he
doesn't
actually deny it he doesn't say
no no no
that's not possible
he says well you know it's very
harmful
to have these rumors some
people say
it's from America like never
say no
rumor well the interesting
thing about
that interview is that his
first phrase
when she asked the question the
very
first thing he says and this is
a truth
wants to come out I know yes
it's true I
know let's listen again you're
so I was
ready Senator Tom cotton who
sits on the
Senate Intelligence and Armed
Services
Committee suggested that the
virus may
have come from China's
biological
warfare program that's an
extraordinary
charge how do you respond to
that
I think it's true that a lot is
still
unknown I think it's true still
unknown
there you go
and of course if you're going
to be
asked a question like that this
is just
to how all the elements of a
lie if
you'd otherwise you just say no
that's
that would be the simple way to
do it
did you have anything on Wuhan
or no
nothing new I mean I might have
let's
see what these what's on the
list now I
have I have this one which is
not really
new but it's worth mentioning
here we go
we also have a new name for the
virus
the World Health Organization
Ovid 19
Benjamin Newman is professor of
biological sciences at Texas A&M
University and he was on the
panel
considering these new names he
told the
BBC what's involved in choosing
a name
for the virus I'll just stops
you for
saying this is so disappointing
to me
yeah it sounds like a birth
control pill
you know we named hurricanes we
gave him
girl names boy getting boy
names why did
we have to do this Cove in
nineteen
we're trying not to name check
a person
a place and on the coronavirus
naming
committee we decided not to
actually
include 2019 in the name as the
w-h-o
did when they were naming the
disease
the idea was that there
actually five of
the Koala viruses that have had
outbreaks this year including
MERS
coronavirus and so the year
isn't
particularly indicative okay
blah blah
blah you guys are not good
marketers
that's that's the bottom market
here's
the clip I have is the who
about the
World Health Organization covet
this is
whe oka vat19 clip the World
Health
Organization is warning the
corona virus
poses a grave threat to the
world as the
death toll in China tops 1,100
people
with more than 44,000 confirmed
infections worldwide with 99
percent of
cases in China this remains
very much an
emergency for that country but
one that
whole is a very grave
for the rest of the world
unless we use
the window of opportunity that
we have
now meanwhile at least a
hundred seventy
four people have now tested
positive for
coronavirus on the quarantine
cruise
ship the diamond princess which
is
docked off the coast of Japan
there are
3,600 people aboard the ship
where crew
members say the workers aren't
being
protected from infection yeah
well
that'll go on for a little bit
longer
until it's just dropped and you
know
that they changed the counting
methodology so now it looks
like we had
a huge spike in in cases and
deaths so
that that the thing that
actually
probably hurt the market a
little bit
this morning but it's back up
again so
this is all you're being played
think
you're just being played this
is not I
just don't see this as being
any like
kind of when we started I would
like
we've been through this we've
we've
we've been through this movie
John we've
we did the swine flu h1n1 SARS
we
haven't we seen it all and it's
like no
old people die from pneumonia
people who
are dental or come out that
just a
regular old-fashioned flu yeah
yeah so I
think there's a lot of playing
going on
but at least now we can pay
attention
and maybe some companies will
learn
their lesson you know Apple
might have
learned their lesson they
brought some
minut manufacturing back to the
States
we'll see who else learns a
lesson but
for sure there's gonna be stuff
that we
don't have anymore for a while
I think
that's this it's almost
impossible that
they can get things going fast
enough to
just you know it's all jazz we
talked
about just in time so we're
people are
gonna start losing missing out
on and
parts missing out in time
exactly thank
you for your courage say in the
morning
to you the man who put the C in
the
basilar Sean C Dvorak in the
morning you
and mr. Adam curry in the
morning all
ships to see boots on the
ground feet in
the air subs in the water and
all the
names tonight's out there yes
in the
morning to our trolls who have
been very
trollee super trollee totally I
mean
very trollee you know I'm doing
my whole
presentation and they're just
making
racist jokes at least you can
do it here
that's kind of what the troll
room is
for so we're glad that you
having fun

in there
trolling at the moment live
troll count
1087 trolls doing their job
also a big
in the morning to the artist
who brought
us the artwork for episode what
were we
twelve fifteen and let me just
bring
that up for a second the title
of that
was omni pocalypse which I
still think
we've titled another show on the
apocalypse somewhere in the past
no never help I want to thank
Darren
O'Neill that's right the man
with the
plan
Darren Oh from the radio and he
brought
us the artwork it was I mean he
couldn't
ask for more intelligentsia
with the
appropriate nerd smiley face
joined the
Intelligencia the artwork pops
it was
funny it was relevant to the to
what was
discussed and I don't think
there was
even a second that was one and
done I
think yeah do you remember you
don't
remember I don't remember you
don't
remember well it was perfect
and we
loved it and again when you
look at your
podcast app and you see that
artwork
change and something fresh is
there it
invites you to listen the whole
point
part of our value for value
network
thank you very much Darren
O'Neill then
we have people who support the
show
financially these are our
associate
executive producers we start
with our
executive producers at the top
of the
list indeed and at the very top
of the
list today is Dave fuga sotto
ah the
girl the Earl Earl Dave and he
said a
feature-length film script with
with
lighting directions yes he
contributed
for 28:20 and this course is
he's one of
our top guys at the moment
so this script I have the
treatment here
oh yes joins it a little bit
aside as we
call that I got my side here
and I'm
gonna read it I tried to edit
it but
it's one of these stories you
know he
likes to tell these tales of of
travel
and they're interesting enough
that it's
probably worth reading I
skipped a
couple of things but not too
much
my Dame's are traveling for
another
competition so bunches of
flower would
just be another thing to topple
over
while driving and drop petals
and leaves
around the hotel room is
generally
troublesome therefore because I
love
them I'm donating 214 dollars
in 10
cents to eat for each of Dame
should be
to 14 22 if I put 10 or 20
another thing
for each Dame melody and Dame
is Abella
for a for 28 20 donation of
eternal love
this is the Valentine's Day
that's of
course it's beautiful as I'm
sure a by
the way nobody else what
everybody hates
their lovers they and they hate
their
moms and dads according to our
show our
research has indicated kinda
knew this
didn't we as I am sure it said
many
relationships tree if you
really love if
you really love me there's a
quota here
is if you really loved me you
donate to
no agenda
no I'm sorry I'm off script
it's true
Valentine's and now a
cautionary tale
here we go I'm late I'm late I
did it
myself to travel karma for my
work trip
worked perfectly and I was once
again
smuggled into the her harem
zone for a
delightful supper at a classy
establishment called T G
Friday's TGI
Fridays in Saudi Arabia I have
attached
a photo from the inside for your
amusement however I looked I
overlooked
asking for travel Karma for a
short trip
the following weekend to a
place called
Al Houla I went there to see
the ancient
tombs of
Medina's Sal a mid mid ain saleh
sometimes referred to as saudi
arabia's
saudi arabia's Petra it's the
name NAB
Allah is the same NAB alayan
Kingdom but
further south the karmic lapse
resulted
in numerous avoidable
inconveniences I
had a request no agenda nation's
indulgence as I recount this
experience
for the benefit of all
producers okay it
was long it was longer than
this this is
an abbreviated version
well I only took out a few
things oh my
pre booked a lodging was
apparently a
date palm Orchard there was not
a
building in sight and it would
indicate
a place to lay down after a day
of priam
relations fortunately a random
strangers
from which we asked to rest
from who I
asked directions and offered to
let me
stay at his rest house so it
worked out
and I wasn't murdered in my
sleep
or anything wait for you got to
read the
whole script if you want me to
be on cue
I took that one out by the way
there are
exactly zero taxi cabs in six
Ebers in
the entire town enough for a
major
festival winter at tentura has
been
going on for several months
those ubers
are also conveniently uber
vintage Land
Rovers and one gets the
privilege of
paying two to three times the
normal
rate anyway he goes on about
that but I
will say look at it gets a
little better
he says these boobers didn't
apparently
didn't run half the time and so
he was
didn't want to miss the whole
reason for
the trip the tombs of made the
ants
allez I'd figured I'd better
start
walking this time our after
about three
kilometers another kindly
stranger
stopped and offered me a ride I
know
what he's wearing
inconveniences aside
the place is amazing
jewellery worth most amazing
parts in
his white pants and sport coat
suspiciously like tulsi gabbard
let's remember Yanni well this
is what
got me to stop for a second I
actually
did a little work on this
letter married
to mutt Evans
I went to to Dubai for some
event abysm
but at least 10 years ago and
they
determine Jani was bandied
about as some
sort of an insult and they
would call
you a Yanni really yeah and so I
remember this very distinctly
and so now
all of a sudden through his Oh
toes
going to see Yanni and so I had
to look
up just I'm working find that
Yanni
indeed was playing in Saudi
Arabia and
he was playing at this at this
the same
place al Allah which is a
mirrored
Palace entertainment a venue
which I
find it hard to believe you
can't get a
cab or something to go there
and back
and forth but according to I
maybe
you're not supposed to be there
I'm not
sure what - why it's so hard to
get -
mm-hmm
and so he was playing there it
was it
was there this last weekend Wow
I'm
thinking who's gonna go see
Yanni and
Saudi Arabia SAS screwiest
thing ever
this is screwball letter I'm
adding
little Yanni music to the
background for
you the experience reinforced a
few
things for me while travelling
and
embracing the moment keeping
your sense
of humor and keep going with
the flow is
essential I have the same
advice for
people my advice is to keep
moving just
keep moving just keep moving
you'll be
fine
although let's be honest a
melody would
not have been amused by for the
experience yeah at one point
had to walk
seven ignore by Yanni believe
me oh yeah
yeah although to be honest
being manly
would not have been amused most
importantly travel karma only
works if
you ask for that's right so
donate
douchebags get some karma of
your own
having learned a hard lesson
please give
us a wee bit o Irish dance
travel goat
cover for the girls and a bonus
dose of
goat scream for me as I
traveled to
Bahrain for Friday's most
marvellous
Middle East meetup in Manama
Mahna Mahna
Mahna Mahna Mahna Mahna Mahna
Mahna
dududu it's gonna be magnificent
[Music]
all right well I I wonder if
when he's
back stateside if he'd be
interested
going to a John Tisch concert
with me I
I think I found a good look
you've got
very much sir Dave the Earl
with the
script okay we got an anonymous
three
hundred thirty three dollars
and 33
cents for Norman Oklahoma I
said he has
a note and indeed he does but
his note
he says he doesn't want anyone
to read
now this is if you thought that
was long
this note is three times longer
three
times three X is reprinted
anyway he's
just no jingles no karma so by
the way
this is a very entertaining
note tooth
and I enjoy it Brian McDonald
three
hundred dollars to forty nine
census
next on the list greetings gents
longtime listener an infrequent
donor I
love the show and the amygdale
right-sizing
which has resulted from
listening I am
trying this is interesting I'm
trying to
wean my wife from m5m by
pointing out
pointing out can I make a
recommendation
if you're trying to wean
someone off of
something if you want to
introduce them
animated no agenda give him
that just
say hey check this out that I
think
that's that is your gate by
animated no
agenda is a gateway drug to the
good
stuff
I agree anyway I'd like to
request a
bowling Karma for my human
resources a
big tournament this week in Las
Vegas I
think that's good
yes it's interesting you left
off the
point that he knows you're a
bowler so I
don't know if people realize
that bill
when I used to be you have a
ball you
have a ball and he says that he
was old
you get $300 and 49 cents and
so he in
case it gets a 300 game or
conversa for
nine split hmm minutes nothing
were
split in the world 7:10 okay
it's the
worst split well I think
actually a five
7/10 which is the worst split
because
it's also an embarrassment that
you left
it not that you're a bowler or
anything
I left a 5 7 10 once in my life
and I
was just I was I was I felt so
bad
that's our that's our associate
their

patting it sir Donald Sylvan it

and then
the passport which is another
it's it's
never-ending credit card oh I

[Music]
I have a couple of randos Oh a
Rando I
got a couple of randos for you
I got
three quick randos this is a
new term I
guess the first Rando is the
latest diet
commercial from the diet
company Jenny
Craig yeah Jenny Craig is a like
Nutrisystem like Weight
Watchers it's
crappy food in the right
portions and I
think it's really portion
control that
they send to you it's a food
company and
they only send you enough to
the kind of
like starving you out and if
you just if
you don't cheat then of course
you will
lose weight but they've added a
twist to
it
oh yeah I just got my results
back and I
literally am so excited getting
your DNA
tested gives you just straight
advantage
it creates a very specific plan
for you
who doesn't want to get the
edge and
figure out how we do this by
the plan
and get a free DNA weight-loss
kit DNA
weight-loss kit Wow
I had no idea that DNA was
there so
advanced do you look at the
fine print
of course it's nothing there's
nothing
there's no DNA gene that says
oh well if
you only cut back on that so
yeah that
would be the message hey eat
the food
you did you're lost cause you
got the
fat so gene I don't know what
what that
is about maybe it's just trendy
but they
are the DNA weight-loss kit
please sure
when I got a short one - this
is the
unfortunates under the letter
cases
kyang did we it didn't play
this but we
shouldn't feel it never heard
it this is
Joe Biden calling somebody a
dog-faced
pony soldier number one I was a
Democratic caucus there Ben
Dukakis no
you haven't
you're lying dogface pony
soldier very
bizarre well that come yeah he
took that
from a John Wayne movie
apparently oh
there's no evidence that John
Wayne yes
his old story from years ago
I've never
heard John Wayne say that I won
no I think he did Biden is just
acting
silly it's funny when he says
something
like that is so well miked good
point
good point
here's another Rando which is
good news
for you and for me as it's good
news for
the president a big relief for
tall men
height may protect against
dementia
taller young men have a lower
risk of
the memory loving disorder
researchers
examined intelligence test
scores
environmental and genetic
factors as
well as height through a
lifetime Elife
reports a study of more than
six hundred
sixty-six thousand men over 20
years
revealed the benefit height
offers when
it comes to a diagnosis of
dementia
finding ways to predict the
risk of
dementia may give doctors a
hint at
earlier diagnosis and
interventions to
aid patients hey let me hold
onto my
dream okay Amy goodness
Bloomberg ISO
and I could never had the clip
wasn't
good enough to use but I
thought the ISO
might be good I can't find
Bloomberg is
racist hmm
close let me close I mean it's
I'm gonna
play it again because I'd like
to
compare we have we have
competing ISOs I
so number one
Bloomberg is racist I so number
two
okay here's the way I see it
okay
the Bernie clip is lots better
I mean it's one of the great
it's a
classic I so it's a close oh so
that is
a Kleiss oh and so you can keep
that in
abeyance
because it's always good you
don't say
the word abeyance somehow does
that mean
I'm screwed on this deal you
could do
what you want you do the Isis
is your
call because you're like
finishing the
show and then you punch up the
ISO it
just seems to me that you can
use that a
lot yeah okay so when I don't
have it so
we'll okay
I see your logic and this is
the end of
show Eisenberg is racist that's
beautiful beautiful the final
Rando
shorty Rando for you from Sandy
Ocasio
Cortez it's funny you ask this
because I
was just reading today about
how Milton
Keynes a famous you were
yapping through
it I'll play it again so you
can listen
it's funny you ask this because
I was
just reading today about how
Milton
Keynes are famous they
predicted that by
2030 u.s. GDP would grow six to
eight
times what it is which would
allow for
everyday people to work 15
hours a week
love Milton Keynes I've read
all his
books she did not be Maynard
Keynes is
that not yes she's well she
just got
scott adams by the way thought
this was
a this was great that this only
solidifies her positions future
president yes yes he did say
that you
should be sharing his drugs and
I have a
another text message from the
president
from the win red outfit I want
to remind
everyone everyone everyone
everyone the
Democrats have share blue act
blue which
is a central clearinghouse for
a lot of
things but when you donate
money to the
chip in when it says chip in
you're not
sending it to the candidate
you're not
sending it to the blue
organization and
they then distribute it to the
DNC
there's all these different
ways it has
to be counted properly you
didn't know
that of course of course you did
but strongly it would be done
it was
there fooling the public trump
set up a
very similar system called win
read and
it is run by Jared Kushner and
an ex
buddy of Jaron co-chaired
Kushner's of
course I despise this whole
concept cuz
they're skimming money off the
top it's
just I don't like it at all but
they
must be doing something that's
working
for them because as you know
they have
been texting me that I somehow
my
membership has expired
I'd never signed up for a
membership and
this came in you are being
officially
notified your deadline to
support
president Trump with 5x
matching funds
has been extended for four more
hours 5x
5x and if you click through is
doing the
matching that don't tell you
that if you
ask for a refund you get five
next I
have no idea but it's shameful
and I and
I keep showing him to the
keeper you
know who's in this business she
says I
can't believe they're doing
that it must
be working maybe we're not
maybe we're
not doing it right maybe we
should try
that hey listen you dicks I
know it work
I'm you read the newsletter yes
there
you go end of that all right
whoo man
and get warm when I do that
stuff oh
this was this was kind of
interesting I
got a note and got a note to
follow up
with this clip you recall we
have a mole
inside a prominent lobbying
firm in
Washington DC who gave us
information
about Lev Parnas and his yes
that Rudy
Giuliani was actually working
as a
consultant for LifeLock and he
was hired
to recreate that model for left
Parnas
with his wasn't bankrupt
guarantee or
whatever that company and
everyone
laughed about it we're the only
ones who
really had the backstory on it
not that
it's that interesting but this
is a
little more interesting this
happened
just a few days ago I'm here to
announce
the indictment of Chinese
military
hackers specifically four
members of the
Chinese People's Liberation
Army for
breaking into the computer
systems of
the credit reporting agency
Equifax and
for stealing the sensitive
personal
information of nearly half of
all
American citizens and also
Equifax his
hard-earned intellectual
property now do
we recall what happened with X
equal ax
do you yeah okay it's the
biggest hack
ever they stole everybody's
data yeah
but what was there was an
interesting
situation we knew it had to be
the
Chinese because they would
never showed
up on the dark web for sale
because it
seems like a mailing list
anyone would
want to copy up but what was
the reason
for the hack I don't remember
what the
reason for that yes what
readymade the
reason I'm sorry the good point
the hack
was done through a machine that
was
compromised because they had
not applied
security patches do you
remember that
vaguely okay so that when that
was
generally how most of these
hacks that
was spelled out broadly so
here's what
our mole in the lobbying
industry says
Adam our colleagues in the
lobbying
business specifically at Akin
Gump
drummed up this indictment at
DOJ on
behalf of Equifax so Equifax is
insurance company would be
forced to pay
for the losses from the
class-action
lawsuit the whole thing he says
is fake
and I believe it I totally
believe that
let's not talk
the mistakes we made let's not
talk
about how we allowed your
information to
be hacked let's blame it on
some I'll
use that word again randos in
China yeah
that's what they yep
bus like it's like the
indictments that
Moeller did against the randos
in Russia
exactly
yeah you can do that that's a
nude
gimmick yeah I just like how
how that
works in DC with the lobbying
firms
didn't get anything done as
long as you
got money China Saudi Arabia
all these
guys it's fantastic Kittinger
well the
insurance companies should
check into
this and see if it's a scam
that sounds
like but it probably was taken
to China
I mean that's very possible
sure nobody
I have a clip of your buddy joy
granted
I am joy my buddy all right I
thinks I
feel good your buddy she's not
my buddy
I want you to try to decipher
this this
is a discussion with her and
some psycho
writer talking about Trump and
the media
and I listen to this I clipped
it in
fact I couldn't even clip it
down for
any shorter than this and I
just want
you to talk about theirs what
they're
saying Tom she said the media
have
struggled to appear balanced and
objective and an era when the
president
behaves in shocking and
unprecedented
ways they need to find a
language to
convey vividly the unhinged
anger and
obsession with repetition
understand her
well what she's saying is the
media is
trying to find some way to talk
about
Trump's mental illness I think
that's
what she's saying the unhinged
anger an
obsession with retribution the
Trump
occasionally and lisas in
public before
I'm gonna I'm gonna get Robin
but I want
to go back to hope your crop is
better
Dave okay there's a wonder back
to you
first really quickly because no
that's
okay no I wanted you to have a
moment
I'm to get you know to take
some water
but the media is still under
this you
know this is self policing that
says
that that that save the Union
which was
very unusual I mean that took
place in
the gallery of in the house
gallery
sort of sacred political space
and it
really wants show business and
the media
still struggled to fit it into
the norm
how so they're talking about
the State
of the Union there was to show
boots all
show business Noah's had an
absolutely
no no content just show
business or
marketing you might call it of
what they
expect but even in Fox News The
Daily
Beast has a piece now they said
an
internal documents even Fox News
understands what this is
internal even
if they don't say it outright in
documents obtained by The Daily
Beast
fox's research team advises
colleagues
to be wary of disinformation
from
several trump boosting on-air
regulars
including rudy giuliani so
internally
even there some people feel a
little
queasy but in the writ large
Trump knows
that the rest of the media is
gonna
cover him as if he's a normal
president
no matter what he does yeah i
mean i
think you know we all talk a
lot about
fox news being the platform that
elevates donald trump but i
think
unfortunately i think it's the
quote
quote mainstream media that
actually
does the biggest service to this
president if you look at the
headline
that was after his East Room
performance
than in the New York Times it
talks
about you know President Hales
acquittal
no he didn't hailed his
acquittal he you
know raged for an hour and I
think this
sort of neutral language the
sort of
decorum and politeness that has
governed
newspaper journalism for the
last
hundred years that that the
office of
the presidency is afforded it
just
doesn't work with Donald Trump
and I
don't unfortunately I don't
have the
answer I'm you know I'm a
reporter I'm a
writer so I struggle myself
with these
issues but I know the end
result is that
the public is not having an
accurate
view of who this president is
have you
ever looked at those papers
from the 20s
and 30s what these people think
they're
so above everything it's
amazing to me
this is a problem this has been
a
problem with journalism some
British guy
described it best when he says
for some
reason American journalists
think it's a
profession
when we think it's a trade
thank you
that's it no that's it find out
who said
that he's making a lot of sense
so
longer anybody could just go
online and
see anyone who's interested to
see this
hour-long rage no it was
actually if
Trump talked during that one
hour or he
was thanking his team and
setting
everybody up for moving forward
after
the impeachment if he talked
like that
all the time we'd be like oh
that's
pretty presidential yeah it was
anything
but a rage it was not a rage at
all but
that so if you're wondering why
you're
having troubles you I say what
you are I
am little well afraid
yeah but you're safe being
yourself but
you cope to the health that
phrase yeah
it applies Jacques Jacques
Hughes
McHugh's in French yeah but
it's if
you're wondering why people
aren't
getting the message it's
because you're
not being truthful it wasn't a
rage I
mean with rage I don't know
maybe I'm
misunderstanding the the
definition of
the fool of the word but there
was no
rage there but you know the the
television version was take him
saying
bullshit take him saying this
did put it
all together
whoa what a rage yeah well
meanwhile on
the other news on the other
news channel
damn one of the one I use for
balance so
I can hear the socialist point
of view
yes
the socialist point of view
democracy I
would expected this and here
I'm gonna
guy finally get it this is Amy
Goodman
mm-hmm on Democracy Now
smearing Pete
Buddha judge so look at Pete
Buddha
judges record on policing and
racial
justice following his
second-place
finish in New Hampshire last
night
the former mayor of South Bend
Indiana
has surprised many with the
strong
showings in Iowa and New
Hampshire two
of the country's Wade estates
but as the
race moves on now to Nevada and
South
Carolina Buddha judge continues
to pull
extremely low
with african-american voters
his own
former constituents are
condemning his
treatment of the black
community in
South Bend during his time as
mayor
calling out systemic racism and
the
police force during Buddha
judges tenure
as mayor from 2012 to 18 black
residents
were 4.3 times more likely to be
arrested for possessing
marijuana than
white people at last week's
presidential
debate ABC News moderator
Lindsay Davis
questioned people to judge
about the
rise and arrests of black
people under
his administration well the
reality is
on my watch
drug arrests in South Bend were
lower
than the national average the
overall
rate was lower the year before
you were
in office it was lower once you
became
in office in 2012 that number
went up in
2018 the last number year that
we have
record for that number was
still up and
one of the strategies that our
community
adopted was to target when
there were
cases where there was gun
violence and
gang violence which was
slaughtering so
many in our community well for
more we
go to Chicago where we're
joined by
Henry Davis jr. a South Bend
City
Council member since 2008
welcome to
Democracy Now Henry Davis jr.
can you
talk about your experience as a
city
council member with your mayor
at the
time he might I'm working with
a mayor
Buddha judge was a at best was
contentious it was very
difficult to get
across to him and also to his
administration how
african-americans
were living in South Bend and
it's some
of the issues that confronted
them on a
daily basis you're talking
about double
digit power of double-digit
unemployment
you're talking about a very
high poverty
rate over over 40 percent
you're talk
about high crime your took my
school
shade out and closing in even
some of
those policies when decay to a
thousand
thousands a thousand days
program don't
look at that don't look at that
look at
me I have a husband the more I
think by
the way that why not for
another 15
minutes now of course it did
yeah quick
OTG husband a little OTG quickie
[Music]
little assist from Larry David
there
this was a story that we just
didn't get
to there's a number of clips
I'd like to
get played today because we
didn't get
to him this is this accentuates
why the
OTG lifestyle is important and
I want to
reiterate because it's very if
the name
of course is bad because people
think
off-the-grid means you don't
wanna be
connected you don't be hacked
now it's
not really that it's you don't
want to
be making data that other
people can
easily aggregate and use
against you
when I say against you is they
pretend
that you're they're helping you
with ad
with ads that you want content
you
already you love but of course
your data
is then stored in databases
it's sold
everywhere and as we have said
many
times the government doesn't
actually
have to put any spying programs
in place
because it's being done for
them with
your willing participation this
is how
it works you get this pop up
and agree
to let an app use your location
a travel
app may want it to suggest
nearby hotels
or airports and that I think I
may play
them out of order make sure
this is how
you get this pop up and agree
to let an
app use your location a travel
app may
want it to suggest nearby
hotels or
airports ride share apps want
to know
where to pick you up
but often those apps are also
sharing
your location with marketers
who are
using it for targeted ads
research
analysis and even
selling it but what we found is
that in
some cases that consumer data
is being
resold to companies that buy
and sell
data for the government
according to
people familiar with the matter
and
documents reviewed by The Wall
Street
Journal the Trump
administration has
purchased the database that
map's the
movements of millions of cell
phones in
the US and is using it for
immigration
and border enforcement in 2018
data
tracking contributed to the
discovery of
a drug smuggling tunnel
according to
people with knowledge of the
operation
sources described this one case
down in
Arizona a border town called
San Luiz
where a man had allegedly built
a tunnel
between his property which was
an
abandoned KFC restaurant and
the Mexican
border police say that
smugglers were
using this tunnel but the
interesting
thing is when this person was
arrested
none of the court records
indicate that
they found this tunnel based on
cell
records this data was showing
cell
phones moving from one side of
the
border to the other
and investigators surmise there
must be
an illegal tunnel there and
began
further investigations that led
to the
arrest of this person so what's
interesting about this story is
that it
is truly the app so what's app
the all
it's the apps that are handing
out your
your location sometimes very
precise
even if you have location
sharing turned
off it's unbelievable I by the
way I
have a backup clip for what you
just
played it's the tracking
immigrants via
cell phone yeah that's that's
pretty
much the same story I guess
Wall Street
Journal reports Immigration and
Customs
Enforcement or ice and customs
border
protection or CBP have spent
over 1.2
million dollars to access cell
phone
location data to track and
arrest
undocumented immigrants the
Homeland
Security Department reportedly
began
purchasing cell phone location
data in
2017 from a Virginia based
company
called Vento the data is drawn
from cell
phone apps like games and
weather apps
that ask the users permission
to access
their location and the Customs
and
Border Patrol is very adamant
about one thing and this is why
the OTG
lifestyle is important in a
statement to
The Wall Street Journal a CBP
spokesman
said quote while CBP is being
provided
access to location information
it is
important to note that such
information
does not include cellular phone
tower
data is not ingested in bulk
and does
not include the individual users
identity because that would be
completely illegal actually but
but the
point is they don't have to do
that
however if they want to track
good old
crackpot they'd have to have
cell
location data because I have a
flip
phone that pretty much does
nothing it
has no apps zero apps and the
apps it
has a browser so I'd have to be
careful
but I don't really use that I
mean
unless it's emergency
but it's the apps it's an
anything
that's free put a big suspicious
suspicious tag next to it
because that's
that's how they make their
money they
make money on selling that
exact data to
ultimately the government I
have to
bitch I've been bitching about
this for
over a decade and it's because
when you
go on you've got some app and I
don't
even like the word and you load
and say
we'd like bikes the green to
our Terms
you have also given up the
computing
everything notebook your email
your
camera can be turned on the mic
can be
turned on they can use your
cunt they
can download your contact list
and I'm
thinking this is like a
flashlight and
they want my contact list agree
to any
of this the flashlight was the
best spy
app ever remember that first
came out
everyone's downloading it that
guy got
so rich there's a bonanza so
all we're
here to do is to warn you that
this is
just a very very bad idea and
there's no
reason for you to you know what
so
here's what I like about the
Alcatel go
flip three is you know it's a
basic
phone I can I can text I can
receive a
call it's great for calling by
the way
it's a very very pleasant phone
to speak
on and in a pinch I can get me
and I could do something on the
web but
it's really in a pencil it's
very slow
it's it's laborious but you
want that
you don't want to be distracted
that's
another big part of it but
there's
really no way to track me
however the beauty of it is
that it can
also function as a Wi-Fi
hotspot that's
what's really cool about it
because if
you are in that undeniable it
happens oh
my god I absolutely need to get
online
to do something you can use
that with
your laptop or you know I have
this
surface GoPro the surface goes
servers
go whatever the hell it's
called you
know ten inch or good
circuiting which
only has Linux on it but I can
get
online I can do whatever I want
that's
just don't create as much data
stop
creating data because they'll
only be
used against you we haven't
heard much
about the war on cash lately
although
just crop up from time to time
Australia
is now on deck with a new cache
ban bill
Australians could face two
years jail
sentence up to $25,000 under
proposed
laws that limit the use of some
cash
transactions to $10,000 there
are calls
for the government to withdraw
the
proposal which was announced in
the
budget fight this month in
black economy
John Adams and independent
economist has
come out against the change I
have to
characterize this on many cases
as the
greatest attack on economic
freedom and
liberty in this country and in
the last
two or three decades I mean I
mean this
law is quite serious I mean I
don't
think in a free society
government
should have any role in telling
people
what to do with their own money
whether
it's a cash transaction or a
non-cash
transaction so the government
has
claimed that this proposal is
about the
black economy and obviously
they had the
black economy task force that
they subs
in 2016 this is where this
$10,000 cash
transaction bank comes from now
the
government has not provided any
evidence
that this band will
work in terms of reducing the
black
economy and one of the
countries in
science is Sweden with in
Sweden they've
virtually eliminated the cash
and yet
they still have a flourishing
black
economies so the way the law is
constructed at the moment
basically if
it's either business to
business or
individual to business so if an
individual was to engage in a
$10,000
cash transaction
above $10,000 that is illegal
under this
proposal so for example if you
went to a
car yard if you went to a
furniture shop
if you went to a jewelry store
and you
proposed to pay cash for a
product or
service under this law you know
individual to business or
business the
business that is illegal now
the way the
government has proposed this
law is
there's a bill for palm and
there's a
regular proposed regulation the
bill
makes everything illegal and the
regulation has certain
exemptions now
one of the exemptions in the
regulation
is individual to individual
transactions
so for example if you had you
know a
piece of furniture for $15,000
and I
wanted to buy that off you all
for one
offer we're not Enterprise --is
that the
government says is legal under
this law
but given that this exemption
is in
their regulation the the
assistant
treasurer at any at any time
can remove
these exemptions make these
exemptions
illegal without the scrutiny of
Parliament I love that this guy
this
report went into depth because
most of
the headlines just scream you
know but
the details are even more
interesting
where there's the law says
we'll have a
regulation for what amount you
can spend
at a business or a card then of
car
dealers over there they got
cards and
that limit is set at 10,000 but
they can
lower that because it's just a
regulation that's that's the
real creepy
part about yeah they can lower
to a
thousand yeah which they would
do why
wouldn't you you're not gonna
raise it
no that's just like what do you
call it
v80 value added tax same deal
yeah you
put that in place it's there
forever
Danny blue suggested should you
should
throw a shoe at him it can only
go up so
I picked up a couple of clips
from
Trump's New Hampshire speeches
he's
doing a new act oh they know
they no
longer play it on Fox oh and
follow my
god
Fox is just blurring now
they're getting
really bad I can't because
they're run
by a bunch of people that don't
even
like Trump well well you know
that they
have internal memos that from
the
episode the way it's Fox News
works Fox
News Channel they have a news
desk and
the head of the news desk put
out a memo
that was leaked to said just so
you know
you shouldn't really take
anything that
is on Hannity or judge Janine's
show or
ingre ham because the people
the guest
they have on are known
disinformation
people from their own
organization that
was a clip we played earlier in
the show
now he's changing his bid a
little bit
he's got some good got a couple
of nice
new bits but he did have this
little
crossover thing and they're
encouraging
people to by not encouraging
him to
cross over and this is the
Trump stumps
and New Hampshire suggesting a
crossover
where you can vote for the
other party
done great this has been an
incredible
success state where the people
are great
just great people
here that there could because
you have
crossovers and partners don't
you so
here a lot of Republicans
tomorrow will
vote for the weakest candidate
possible
of the Democrats is that make
sense you
people wouldn't do that my only
problem
is I'm trying to figure out who
is their
weakest candidate I think
they're all
weak I mean it's not a huge
laugh but
it's a it's an interesting bit
of stick
I like it a better bit was
she's added
to his act is this Trump where
he goes
on about Pelosi on Tuesday I
delivered
my address on the State of the
Union and
I had somebody behind me who was
mumbling terribly sucklings
humbling
very distracting
very distracting
[Applause]
now it was very distracting I'm
speaking
and a woman is mumbling
terribly behind
me angry there was a little
anger back
there where the one should be
angry
not them we're the ones that
should be
angry but we proudly declared
that we
are in the midst of the great
American
combat our country is stronger
today
than ever before I had not
heard this
like that a lot
what was that well mumbling
that reminds
me of the time I flew on the
Concorde
and I was very excited and it's
like oh
my god I'm gonna fly in the
Concorde and
we go to flight it was for the
something
at Wembley Arena I can't
remember
exactly what MTV flew me
Concorde
because I had to be there right
away or
whatever was going on good and
this was
New York to London and I was
super
excited and Liza Minnelli is
sitting
behind me completely drunk and
ruined
the whole damn ride she was
kicking
against my chair talking loud
yeah it
was a big bummer anyway that's
for my
book you turn around and tell
her and
knock it off no I was too
impressed like
Liza Minnelli I'll just keep
this better
to have the story than to have
some
international ruckus because
you know a
drunk Liza is something gonna
be very
careful of and I would think
yeah well
while you're at it is there
anything
else from Trump that is during
the
speech no that's all I got from
that
speech and it is worth watching
his new
act this is a slightly
different one
before New Hampshire where I
watched
some of that one and that was
just that
was his old material and it was
about an
hour and 15 hour 20 this new
act which i
think is mostly new is only an
hour he's
crazy always cutting it down
he's
cutting it down right it's down
I think
this was like 55 minutes hmm
but he
builds you know he starts has
got a
basic act and then he adds and
adds
that's good
just one last story since all
of the
stuff that we're talking about
is so
irrelevant when it comes to how
bad
things really are and that you
know this
is actually the biggest failing
on the
media not the
newspapers who published it
because I
think they that's good that
they did
that and if you read through it
all then
you you feel very sad about the
state of
our what we're doing or how
we've
positioned ourselves for
decades and
when I say ourselves the United
States
this of course is the Afghan
papers and
to get any kind of in-depth
reporting on
it I got this from Voice of
America
which is the propaganda arm
United
States John Sopko Inspector
General of
an independent government
watchdog
created by Congress to combat
waste and
abuse in the u.s.
reconstruction effort
in Afghanistan Sherman so the
House
Foreign Affairs Committee on
Wednesday
is 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
lying 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
the guard
documents as evidence but
Richard
voucher who served as assistant
secretary of state for South
Asia during
the Bush administration says
there was
no deliberate deception I think
all of
us 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 what 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
just so
disheartening
because it's not like we don't
know this
but that is out there and you
know where
the where the real hearings
where we
really pin in people up hey man
this is
bullcrap
well this is again this is like
we took
what talked about in ten
minutes ago we
said you start a value-added
tax you
can't back off on these things
you go
into one of these stupid wars
that's not
really a war cuz there's
nobody's
attacking us but you go in
there to
police the place and you can't
get out
yeah well you can but the
system will
let you get out no the whole
system is
designed for you to be stuck
there
forever
yeah disheartening is the only
that's
the only thing I can say well
don't feel
good about it you recently be
good word
I got a couple of goods just at
one more
news item if you want to get
out of the
way well let's do one and then
we got to
move gotta move gotta move babe
let's do
it live yes all right what are
we saying
this would be the most
interesting one

the show
let's see what's in John's
clothes we
had the Microsoft Bob frisbee
I'm
wondering if there's another
item that
you are putting up for auction
or sale
or otherwise I was thinking
about it
mm-hmm I don't have anything
wow this is
a dead item well what you all I
have to
do is take one look around yeah
I do
have a couple of things actually
well you'd sound woefully
unprepared
well I'm unprepared yes I am I
thought
about this earlier and I'm
unprepared I
can't I have to skip we'll do
it we'll
do it for the next show
yeah not too many things to
choose from
this the problem I didn't get
any bites
on the frisbee what no one did
wanted to
drop a hundred bucks on hundo
on a hundo
on a virgin Microsoft Bob Mick
it's
dishing to Bob can you haggle
over the
price because if you're just
saying
hundred price - yeah we're
gonna have to
people don't see the value in
these
things but okay you need to put
up a
cosmic weenie page someone can
get in
the show to do there you go I
have just
one more little thing
unless you have something that
you'd
like to do for me I have
actually three
four clips I did which are news
clips
which I promised everybody we'd
try to
keep people up with the world
yes let's
do that first good idea and so
let's
start with the Irish vote let's
get that
out of the way oh yeah this was
very
this so typical Irish voters
went to the
polls on Saturday in an
election that
could remove t shook Leo vodka
from
power amid a surge by left-wing
shin
fain to Radtke cast his ballot
in Dublin
after campaigning on his own
diplomatic
successes on brexit helping
prevent a
hard border on the island but
the
strategy appears to have fallen
flat
amid domestic issues such as
health care
and housing which have seen a
swing by
voters towards shin fane party
leader
Mary Lou MacDonald urged people
to vote
for change as she also went to
the
polling go
in Dublin today is very
important day
today's the day that the people
are in
charge and every single vote
counts
people have told the strokers
campaign
that they won't change that
they want to
change the representation and
they want
to change in government
something to
people please come out today
and vote
for that change but McDonald's
party is
unlikely to enter government as
it has
put forward to a few candidates
opinion
polls points to the main
opposition
party FINA for winning most
seats and
forming a coalition or minority
government led by me whore
Martin who
voted Saturday morning in Cork
its
policies on the economy and
post brexit
Ireland are broadly similar to
those of
Brad cos center-right FINA
gales both
FINA fall and FINA Gayo insist
they will
not govern with shin pain after
polls
close at 10:00 p.m. local time
counting
will begin at 9 o'clock on
Sunday
morning so does this mean we'll
have
bombs going off again or is it
might
just imagine these are the same
people
Costel hey just as a quick
aside Tuesday
August 3rd 2010 blog entry on
the Dvorak
uncensored blog with picture
valuable
frisbee found in closet yes an
unused
Microsoft Bob frisbee was
buried in one
of my closets Wow
priceless collectable yes yeah
that
you're recycling what you're
recycling
recycling I still have the
frisbee
recycling story and it's the
same
picture you sent me of this
thing
sitting on the mantelpiece next
to a
Christmas bear dude what is this
collectable Christmas bear in
the
picture what is know what do
you even
have that in your home what is
that
thing I don't know that was
from ten
years ago uh-huh
and a horse glass horse head I
want to
be in your Clyde so I want to
be in your
closet so bad
I bet you do you're kind of in
the
closet Oh what are you supposed
to do
somebody throws a softball so
here we go
piers Robinson he's discussing
Syria
piers Robinson II W story is
about the
investigation of an alleged
chemical
weapon attacking Duma in Syria
in 2018
which was controversial at the
time
because France an American euk
bomb
Syria within about seven days
of that
alleged event having occurred
this is
new somewhere after we've
ripped this
all apart front to back and
this is now
new still and the premise for
the event
was exactly what happened is we
of
course Newton it spotted this a
mile
away but and it's been
discussed by
academics and it now it's
official well
even fully official it's just
some guy
who quit one of these
organizations and
kind of made it quasi-official
that the
whole thing was a scam like we
said II W
story is about the
investigation of an
alleged chemical weapon
attacking Duma
in Syria in 2018 which was
controversial
at the time because France and
America
in the UK bombed Syria within
about six
or seven days of that alleged
event
having occurred and the premise
for the
event was that Assad winning
the war
gassed his own people had
dropped the
helicopter dropped to get
chlorine gas
cylinders and oh that killed
sort of
dozens of people in in duma and
that was
the original event which the
OPCW went
out to investigate what we know
now
after leaks and people from
within the
OPCW talking is that the team
who
initially deployed to do man
who did the
investigation that their first
internal
report was very clearly
indicating that
there were problems with the
idea that
the Syrian government had
dropped
cylinders that there were
indications
that staging had occurred and
they were
already pretty much shut out of
the
process after the internal
report which
is what really started to cause
I think
dissent within amongst under
team and
then ultimately the final OPCW
report
came out suggesting very
strongly that
the Syrian government had
dropped
chlorine gas cylinders and at
that point
shortly after that an
engineering report
was leaked which suggests the
off
sit and what we know now from
all the
leaks and what we know now from
the
courage foundation panel for
example is
that there are a serious
problems with
the final OPCW report but the
science
does not back up the claims
that are
being made when we know that
from the
leaked documents we can see
that from
the information coming out from
OPCW
scientists and most
spectacularly we saw
it with Ian Henderson
addressing the UN
Security Council where he made
very
clear that he had been
sidelined and he
made very clear that the
engineering
assessment had indicated that's
faking
that occurred so odd that a
podcast that
rips apart mainstream media or
media
really whether it's a radio
print or
television of course a lot that
this is
one of the few places you can
actually
hear a bunch of stories that
you that
are kind of interesting and of
global
importance you know I'm glad we
do this
because where else would you
get this
news I mean you have to be
monitoring
everything you don't get i
watch sky and
i watch RT and al-jazeera and
you pick
up stuff from time to time but
they're
also headline driven it's all
headline
driven clear that's what makes
this show
so great oh yeah now I remember
okay there's a shorter little
news item
this is a Sudan story this is
the update
on Sudan news time leader Omar
al-bashir
will be handed over to the
International
Criminal Court in The Hague to
face
charges of genocide war crimes
and
crimes against humanity
he's accused of leaving the
Sudanese
government scorched earth
campaign in
Darfur where after 300,000
people were
killed and more than 2.5
million people
were forced from their homes
Bashir was
forced from power last April
amidst
massive anti-government
protests in
Sudan Clooney did his job right
at the
Sentinel project finally good
work
George now I have somebody
that's not
international news but it's a
compliment
it's a clip that was produced
by this
operation I'm gonna ask you cuz
I was
misled
are you familiar with what
what's
referred to as a maker a maker
well yeah
it doesn't make a conference
maker yeah
from the maker space for people
who use
3d printers and stuff like that
yeah
that's a maker yeah well you're
completely misled what we women
we're
not going nowhere I was part of
a small
team that lenses and SUV sized
robot in
the surface of Mars now with
the therapy
I started to understand what
made me
tick we are driven change
makers fed up
with the world around us and
we're ready
to take action no matter what
you want
to be proactive don't look away
no one is invisible when we
demand to be
seen they love my body its
society that
is uncomfortable with my body
goats we
must be pretty amazing to have
overcome
all of fish ships I think it's
important
that we have these kind of
conversations
hopefully you leave here
inspired to do
something what is this what I
don't
understand it all what that was
this was
makers 2020 yeah if you look at
the
thing it is the about the
empowerment of
women and to push forward the
new
feminists to something or other
well they've hijacked the term
you tell
me about it that's what I said
hijack the term that's not okay
there's
nobody doing 3d printing that
guy at the
end was John Legend hello
there's only
two men that they've
highlighted that
one the guy in the middle was
some guy
talking about how he had to go
see a
shrink so he can become a
cuckold I
guess I'm not sure what he was
after
there Wow let me the beginning
when I
heard at the beginning it made
me think
think of something else
maybe think of
[Music]
[Applause]
I'm surprised they use the term
makers
it doesn't have what's got dual
are they
is this a derivative of hole
maker so
well it's not a wrong
old-fashioned term
that should be issued yeah so
they're
home makers or what's makers I
thought
the same thing where's the 3d
printers
very odd on Fox Tucker Carlson
had a
very slow day or whatever they
were
expecting Trump to say I don't
know what
it was so he pulled out an old
interview
we did with Adam Corolla and it
was
about homelessness and it was
so good
what Adam Carolla said and
there was a
it was a long segment so I
chopped it up
and down and into three shorter
pieces
and it was it was an eye-opener
i sat
this and holy crap he's really
saying
some smart stuff here because
what he is
identified as the problem in
Los Angeles
I lied I'll just say California
is
exactly what's going on here in
Austin
it's exactly the same it was a
I hope
and I really appreciate what he
said
it's and it is completely in
three parts
so first he explains why the
government
at local city government or
state
government doesn't care about
the
homeless I mean if I asked you
you just
offhand why do city and state
governments not care really
don't care
about the homeless I have no
idea
California and LA especially
sort of
broken the citizens into two
groups
there's the groups that have
money and
then they're the empty bags
they don't
have any money so if you have
money and
you're in that group and you
pay your
taxes you'll get pulled over
and get a
ticket for not having a front
license
plate but if you're homeless or
you're
illegal or
you're not in the system then
you're
essentially an empty bag and
they can't
get money out of you in fact
they cost
the city money so anything that
costs
the city money they're not that
good at
but they're really good at
parking
enforcement and they're really
good at
permits and building permits
and fines
and anything where there's
money to be
had they're super efficient at
it and
the homeless don't have checking
accounts so there's nothing in
it for
that they've really divided the
entire
city into those who pay and
those who
can't and if you can they're
not that
interesting I think this is so
true and
it really hit home for me just
the other
day the keeper and I were
coming back
from we had lunch together and
we're
driving back on South Pleasant
Valley
Road which is a 35 zone there's
no it's
it's it's lunch science there's
no one
on the road and I'm driving
yeah and I
and I and I look in my rearview
mirror
and I see a car behind me like
close
kind of riding me and so I I
pull over
to the side immediately it was
undercover you know the guy
I'll stop
you all right boy over here we
were
speeding but 50 feet up there
squeegee
guys and tents on the median so
now I
have to say I didn't get a
ticket I got
a warning but it was that that
very
moment I felt the same it's
like look at
what you're doing man there's
no one on
the road yeah okay I was going
a little
fast and like okay I was over
40 sorry
but look at the illegality
taking place
right and I'm not blaming the
cop
obviously because the cop is
not even
allowed to do anything but
that's the
stuff that drives people crazy
I thought
it was an interesting
observation that
these governments don't give a
shit if
they can't get money out of you
they
don't care well this still begs
the
question mm-hmm
why are they allowed to have
these
encampments it's it costs the
city money
too because somebody's got to
clean this
stuff up eventually
well it's something what is
going is
that a trash van backing out the
strategy garbage truck well
that comes
up
in the second part of the story
and and
this is a very valid question
although
it's not it's not addressed in
what
Carolla says but remember this
this
camping is all these liberal
cities have
allowed camping because of a
lawsuit
that is in the Ninth Circuit
it's in
Idaho that removing homeless
people who
are camping is quote
unconstitutional
because it is against because
it is
cruel and unusual punishment
this is
what the woke stirs have come
up with
and so for that reason because
it's now
in court idaho said well well
we can't
we can't it would kick these
people out
because they know that's
constitutional
and all the woke counties austin
literally says the same thing
well you
know there's there's there's a
case
before the Ninth Circuit we
can't really
do anything until that's
resolved
because you know just kicking
people out
of their homes where they're
camping
that's cruel and unusual
punishment cuz
you're ruining their home
that's that's
how they get away with allowing
it and
of course the real no that's
not the
question the question is why I
mean they
get away that's why they get
away with a
lawyer but why do they want
these
encampments cuz they obviously
will or
they wouldn't hell no they don't
here's Corollas vision on that
well what
changed is we started to mistake
discipline and rule of law for
being
mean this sort of like don't be
mean
don't take that homeless guy
why are you
making him go here or why are
you
arresting him or why are you
incarcerating him or why are
you putting
them in this facility la has
become this
sort of good vibes place where
America
our city and then the governor
Los
Angeles Governor of California
Gavin
Newsom then nobody everyone is
scared of
being called a bad person and
we used to
realize that coaches and
teachers and
generals and the police force
and the
people the mayor
and the governor when they
enforced laws
they weren't bad people they
enforce
laws they're doing what they
were
elected to do they're doing
their job
now when official says I want
to get rid
of this homeless camp we're
gonna we're
gonna bulldoze the homeless
camp we're
gonna give it it's like why are
you
being a mean person why are you
being a
bad person this is a zeitgeist
that's
joshing over this nation that
the people
that the teacher that's
expelling the
student for being unruly has
now become
the bad person not the student
the
teacher we're turning on the
rule of law
we're turning on the teachers
the
coaches the governors that the
mayors
that the cops think what we've
done with
cops we turn cops into the bad
guy yeah
no not the bad guys who were
the bad
guys and the reason the cops
are engaged
with the bad guys is because
they're
involved with some bad behavior
we've
heard the guy with the uniform
and the
badge into the bad guy and
nobody wants
to be the bad guy
it's meta but I think there's a
big
element of truth to what he's
saying
well yes I agree I'm not gonna
disagree
with the basic thesis but some
cities
have the homeless problem in
some cities
don't Dallas doesn't have the
same
problem Austin has no because
they're
not idiots
well who's idiots at people in
Dallas no
the people in Austin the City
Council in
Austin is doesn't want to hurt
anybody's
feeling do you remember the
report I
played on the last show where
the the
city council lady said well you
know
those needles it's probably for
um you
know they have diabetes and the
homeless
people need to use needles to
you right
yeah for innocent yet yeah that
that is
the dumbest thing here let me
play
that's a shorty and play it
over the
needles that people use needles
for
health reasons and for
employment and
other stuff and
believe if that's what we were
seeing
and so I just want to throw
that out
there that a lot of folks are
almost
have health issues and are
using the
needles for for health reason
that
doesn't make them safe to be on
the
ground but it but it is that is
one of
the reasons that we may be
finding those
in those areas but corolla has
his own
example of that does the last
clip where
he said he gave I thought an
excellent
example of this this specific
problem I
was talking to a guy who runs
the
Staples Center
he literally runs the Staples
Center one
of the they rejuvinated
downtown in illy
it was falling apart Staples
Center came
in and really just brought it
back to
life they bring millions of
dollars in
tax revenues I said a guy I
went to a
game there with my son a Lakers
game I
walked out I almost tripped
over a guy
selling hot dogs on your
property from a
shopping cart with a propane
tank on it
I said there was dozens of
these guys
just all on the Staples Center
property
they're selling food they're not
licensed they're not regulated
they're
not getting a grade from from
the the
system there they're literally
just
selling food totally
unregulated on your
property and he said yeah I
know we hate
it we hate it
I wish there something we could
do about
it I said we didn't mean we
stopped we
could do about it go talk to
the City
Council get my property has I
talked to
the mayor Oh get off my property
throw him off your property
call the
cops he said I don't want to
get into
trouble that's it that's a big
part of
the problem in downtown LA is
really
gone to crap now besides that
particular
area but yeah that's it so they
don't
want to get in trouble with
City Council
and therefore you actually risk
people
getting sick from the food yeah
or or
some propane tank exploding
whatever
whatever could happen so I
thought it
was I liked it I thought that
was very
interesting observation is this
interesting situation in San
Francisco
is kind of the same
i-i think la is it's got more
it's more
diverse or they have a more of
a diverse
problem and they don't but San
Francisco
I don't see it being any
different in
terms of the city count of the
City
Council knows I think it's
helpful
precisely the same thing they
got the
pooping going on in San
Francisco I
think is a little more this is
more of
that than in LA I think well
it's
starting here in Austin the
pooping yep
pooping on the street yeah it's
very
very strange phenomenon the the
pooping
itself or allowing now the
whole thing
the whole homeless pooping
failure to do
anything about it and you know
and we
have this certainly one
homeless guy who
emails me regularly he has an
Obama
phone he listens to the show
and it's
it's not made easy for him it's
really
he sees no and he's in want to
say he's
in Washington State this is no
way out
that he does not see a way out
and they
you know that all kinds of
horrible
stuff happens especially out
out there
and the worst is is the homeless
themselves they're there they
do two
horrible things to each other
so I do a lot of things that I
can for
the homeless so I don't want to
sound
like I'm you know people think
I sound
like a dick but you know
there's ways to
help and this is it's just
counterproductive I think we
should stop
by saying no okay you can't
camp here
here's where you can camp
here's if you
want to live as a camper that's
fine and
we'll help you get your
disability check
because you know people there
are ways
for them to get money but they
don't
want to people don't really
want to help
them and the only other
agencies here
they want a per client fee you
know so
it's it's kind of a insidious
is like a
circle
it's a real bummer at the end
of the
show damn it dude give me
something fun
John I don't like this I'm
gonna save
the Trump stuff for Liza maybe
there's
one give me one thing clear
help me help me stone new
information
nothing there's a funny story
out of
Michigan State they had this
MSU and his
painful reminder of the Lynch
oh yeah so
they had a damn display they
had a
couple of these things they had
it was a
display and in the student you
know the
student store kind of thing
mm-hmm and
they had these little more
characters
little rag dolls that they were
selling
and the display there was like
you know
how they have a little clip on
the back
of something and you hang it yes
well the way they did it
because they
have a little clip from it
turns out to
be what looks like a tree oh
man well
play this story leaders at
Michigan
State University apologizing
today for a
controversial display at a
school's
performance center gift shop
you can
take a look at the display
yourself many
are calling it racist saying it
shows
historical black figures
hanging from a
tree following public outcry
the school
removed the display and sent
out a
statement to apologize but some
students
say that's just who was this
was the 20
year old painful reminder of
one lady
before Michael Jackson it's
painful she
remember she remembers the days
when MTV
didn't play Michael Jackson
videos so
that's a painful reminder I
guess but it
was they saw it there was a
couple of
these incidences they had to do
with
some merchandising guys liking
the
hanging least items so you
could see him
she asked you was was this a
white lady
this is a white lady who said
that was a
white lady who said that
I don't know who no we did
painful
reminder yeah no it's a blow
but there's
a blow okay all right well good
but the
point is is that it would you
can see
some idiot who's you know I
don't know
what this is
yes way to display them but I'd
like to

day and
I they're not that good you
just have to
learn to live with some things
they get a paycheck with your
paycheck
comes some restrictions and
responsibilities slavery
sharecropping
Jim Crow segregation and
redlining
but when you think about it
from an
economic perspective the
exploitation
would a theft of Labor and a
transfer of
wealth enshrined in law and
enforced by
violence
[Music]
taxes are regressive that's the
good
thing about them the problem is
people
that don't have a lot of money
and so
higher taxes you should have a
bigger
impact on their behavior and
how they
deal with themselves we have a
lot of
soldiers in the United States
in the US
Army and that's what why you do
want to
do exactly what a lot of people
say you
don't want to do a life or a
job or
taxes or life which do you want
to do
