0:18

zone 33 here at the frontier of austin

0:20

texas capital of the drone star state in

0:22

the morning everybody

0:23

i'm adam curry and from northern silicon

0:26

valley where i'm looking at the new york

0:28

times and all i can say is

0:30

move over buzzfeed i'm john c divora

0:33

[Music]

0:38

we have a winner okay who

0:42

we have a winner yes it's time to

0:44

celebrate ladies and gentlemen we have

0:47

a winner dr bill to the rescue

0:50

everybody except the planned

0:52

pharmaceutical industry

0:53

it's the germans to the rescue my

0:56

administration reached a historic

0:58

agreement with pfizer

1:00

to produce and deliver 100 million doses

1:02

of their vaccine immediately following

1:04

its approval

1:05

hopefully the approval process will go

1:07

very quickly and

1:09

we think we have a winner there we also

1:11

winners right behind that are

1:14

doing very well in the vaccines yes long

1:16

ahead of schedule

1:17

wow a winner john

1:22

and it's this little firm bio in tech

1:26

little german firm that had to team up

1:28

with pfizer to make it look real

1:31

and and it's an mrna vaccine it's

1:34

i mean i haven't heard anyone say how

1:36

fabulous this is it's very

1:37

very interesting i thought that was

1:39

moderna's gig

1:40

well you know because he did this that

1:42

means these guys are out of the running

1:44

the modern guys no uh the advisor guys

1:49

what do you mean out of the uh what do

1:52

you mean out of the running they just

1:53

did the deal with

1:54

with pfizer pfizer and bio in tech it's

1:56

they yeah but but because

1:57

trump pushed this yeah the media and

2:01

everybody's going to jump all over it

2:03

and he's uh they're out of the running

2:04

oh yeah automatically

2:07

because of course if trump endorses it

2:09

then it's the wrong vaccine

2:11

yeah oh yes so you're so smart this is

2:14

just getting him out of the way so

2:16

okay i love this idea and i was i was

2:20

already so curious because

2:22

no one was saying how revolutionary this

2:24

was this bio in tech

2:26

who clearly teamed up with pfizer for

2:27

the distribution or i don't know

2:29

your packaging that's what everyone has

2:30

yeah licensing they've got the

2:32

infrastructure what the stock did

2:34

oh the stock it went public at uh i

2:37

think it went public around 20

2:38

and it's now at 100. that's a winner

2:41

yeah

2:43

that's what you want to do well i wanted

2:45

to

2:46

that's good that you brought this up

2:47

right away because i have three clips

2:49

uh-huh

2:50

discussing a little bit about this

2:51

especially what's going on in south

2:53

africa with the oxford

2:54

vaccine that's that's what we love to

2:57

test

2:58

and so yeah they can't seem to get

3:02

enough volunteers because they can't

3:03

find enough people that haven't been

3:04

infected but

3:06

there's a couple of things here which

3:08

which warrants and ask

3:10

adam oh because as we listen to this uh

3:13

great news about from pfizer who are

3:17

who will rue the day

3:20

uh let's listen to just a little

3:22

background on what's going on in south

3:24

africa this is from democracy now is the

3:26

covet vaccine s

3:27

a oxford uh about 20 to 22 in a in in in

3:32

the second

3:33

phase of of clinical testing and

3:36

i'm so sorry somehow my fingers have

3:38

been off i got a new

3:40

replacement the midi controller and i

3:42

hit the wrong one

3:44

uh we'll cut all that out no one will

3:45

know the difference so i think the first

3:47

issue with the trial is that

3:49

what's significant is that the president

3:51

and the government

3:52

agreed to offer solidarity and

3:54

participate in the trial

3:56

which is being led by oxford university

3:58

through south africa's birth university

4:00

the difficulty of course is one trying

4:04

to secure a sufficient number of

4:05

volunteers for the trial

4:08

with as you correctly point out within a

4:10

climate where

4:11

the numbers of people living with covert

4:14

are increasing and we also

4:16

estimate that that is a significant

4:19

undercount because our testing strategy

4:22

has been hampered by the lack of

4:24

available testing kits

4:25

so the criteria for testing has changed

4:28

and in effect it amounts to rationing at

4:30

the moment

4:32

the second issue with the trial which

4:34

actually is

4:35

uh you know involves quite significantly

4:38

a pharmaceutical company called

4:40

astrazeneca and

4:42

the issue around astrazeneca's

4:44

relationship with oxford

4:46

the relationship with the south african

4:48

government as in the contractual

4:50

relationship

4:51

including which university and clinical

4:53

participants in other parts of the world

4:56

in brazil as well is unclear we calling

4:59

for

5:00

transparency in those agreements because

5:02

on the one hand

5:04

if we are going to participate in a

5:05

trial that is trying to

5:07

ensure equitable access to a vaccine if

5:10

it is successful

5:13

what what is that sounds like there's a

5:14

quagmire nothing's going to work out

5:16

everyone's

5:18

got an issue with something

5:22

yeah that's part of the problem but i'm

5:24

gonna the second part of this clip is

5:25

kind of interesting because it actually

5:27

gives a little gives us some actual

5:29

information oh stop

5:31

and it's like here's an ask adam for you

5:35

um how many vaccine candidates

5:39

uh are out there currently you mean

5:42

uh that are wait a minute is this the is

5:44

this the actual question

5:46

this is the ask adam segment yep

5:58

all right everybody here it is of course

6:00

i know have all the answers

6:02

uh now you say vaccine candidates is

6:04

that vaccine candidates that

6:06

are currently in trial or that are just

6:08

or

6:09

or that are getting ready to go to trial

6:11

because they've gone through the

6:12

first two phases uh

6:15

well disregarding the phases how many

6:18

i don't the answer to that okay all

6:21

right we'll be answered in the second

6:22

clip all right then my first clip is

6:24

just the pure

6:25

how many vaccine candidates when people

6:27

start all right

6:29

if you're in the business i have the

6:31

number 100

6:34

it's a good number yeah all right play

6:37

the clip but

6:38

we know that there's deep involvement of

6:40

astrazeneca and the terms and conditions

6:42

between oxford university and

6:43

estrazeneca is

6:44

is not available and this you must

6:46

remember is only one

6:48

of a possible hundred and twenty six

6:50

factions

6:51

oh so close

6:55

i think i deserve so at least partial

6:57

credit for getting into the three

6:59

no you're over by

7:02

[Music]

7:03

okay now the ones going to trial are

7:06

going to be mentioned the number of that

7:07

how many

7:07

are going to try or or at least in the

7:09

second stage

7:11

126. well i have to just say 33.

7:16

[Music]

7:20

yes but it's not right i guess no okay

7:23

here we go

7:24

this is in this last clip the phase two

7:26

numbers okay uh about

7:28

20 to 22 ie in in in the second phase of

7:32

of clinical testing and you know there's

7:35

very few a handful of candidates that

7:36

still will go to phase three

7:38

so now the thing is though astrazeneca

7:42

we did uh purchase pre-purchase

7:46

a billion dollars worth of the vaccine

7:48

so they took a which

7:50

i mean if they're gonna get screwed in

7:51

the deal uh is that kind of their okay

7:54

okay guys it's your turn next time take

7:56

a bill

7:58

take a bill from bill uh

8:02

i have no idea how this works and the

8:05

intricacies of it are

8:07

i think unknown to most people because

8:10

it's you know as part of us this part of

8:11

the great

8:12

pharma pharma scam yeah

8:15

well i have no i don't know what's going

8:17

to happen maybe they're going to have

8:19

two out there

8:20

both competing with each other oh this

8:22

should be i think that's the whole i

8:23

think there's they want to have that and

8:25

then there's some other vaccine

8:26

forget who did that one maybe it's the

8:29

oxford vaccine

8:30

that it's just an old-school vaccine

8:32

it's like oxford is the astrozenica

8:35

right but isn't that the old school

8:36

that's not the mrna they just didn't

8:38

the old-fashioned

8:42

whatever it is they're just testing it

8:43

down in south africa

8:45

i guess they get a head start on

8:47

somebody there's a lot of stuff that is

8:48

going

8:49

also with um with the therapeutics with

8:52

rem distributor one of our producers

8:54

is uh a lab technician and

8:58

was digging around documents looking

9:00

into remdi severe

9:01

uh i'll quote some from her uh his uh

9:04

uh note here i was curious about the

9:07

circulating

9:08

metabolite metabolite maybe which is

9:11

stability metabolite which is

9:13

which functions like an active

9:14

ingredient if you will so that would be

9:16

the active ingredient of remdi severe i

9:18

discovered something very very

9:19

interesting

9:20

uh attached an ncbi article about the

9:23

mechanism of action of remdi severe

9:25

there's a lot of technical stuff in

9:26

there but it's in the show notes if you

9:27

want to look it up it's been

9:28

uh sanitized for our lab technicians

9:31

protection

9:32

uh but it turns out the chemical

9:34

compound

9:36

they use as the metabolite is

9:41

gs-441524

9:43

also known as a feline antiviral

9:46

[Music]

9:48

so it turns out that a a cat

9:51

antiviral works to some degree

9:55

in against covet yeah

9:58

covet kitty cat medicine everybody gotta

10:00

love it

10:01

gotta love it melatonin apparently now

10:05

uh more news

10:06

inhibits the kovid 19 induced cytokine

10:09

storm that's another good one that's a

10:13

what's a good one to know i mean

10:14

melatonin is easy to have around the

10:15

house

10:20

well they sure do you

10:23

were you were you being facetious or do

10:26

you mean that about people using

10:27

melatonin

10:28

am i at the point now where you i ca

10:31

wasn't so sure

10:35

i'm sorry wow i wasn't sure that wasn't

10:38

sure

10:38

bottles of it in the house because the

10:40

kids like it

10:41

one time but jason you'd never take some

10:43

melatonin before you go to bed i said

10:45

why do i want

10:46

melatonin before i go to bed yeah it

10:49

makes you sleep better i sleep

10:50

fine so i was partially

10:54

right people do have it around the house

10:57

but you were kind of

10:58

disgusted

11:07

i first heard about it probably 20 years

11:09

ago and people were using on airplane

11:11

flights when they couldn't sleep on a

11:12

plane

11:13

yeah exactly or uh to combat um

11:17

jet lag which i've never i like

11:20

weed is so much better time to go to

11:22

sleep boink done

11:24

so little uh some mask updates uh and i

11:27

think it's relevant to something you

11:29

wrote in the newsletter but we'll start

11:31

just with the thought that i had

11:34

um we are so trained with

11:37

social media and so we were so primed

11:40

for this mask

11:41

stuff and it just so i think someone

11:45

wrote me a note and it

11:46

almost bowled me over like oh yes do you

11:49

remember the ice bucket challenge

11:52

yeah so this self-moral licensing is

11:55

really this is a continuation of it

11:57

like i i wouldn't necessarily 100

12:01

subscribe to that but i think there's

12:02

validity

12:04

yeah it's idiotic yes which in the

12:07

in the netherlands translated uh when

12:10

they speak

12:11

in a derogatory tone about uh

12:14

uh masks they call it the face diaper

12:18

which i think yeah she told me this i

12:20

think i kind of like that one

12:22

so shanta who's uh uh my daughter

12:24

christina's girlfriend

12:26

she was on the train in rotterdam

12:30

going to i think she was going uh i know

12:31

she was going to amsterdam or not

12:33

and it's mandatory to have a face diaper

12:36

in the train and

12:38

i guess she was fiddling around and

12:39

dropped on the ground she picks it up

12:41

puts it back on and she got kicked off

12:43

the train

12:45

what yeah she got kicked off the train

12:47

it's like she sounds like she's

12:48

exaggerating the story

12:49

no no why would she know she's not

12:52

exaggerating the story

12:54

oh no nah she's

12:57

a little bit past that she's not really

12:58

a millennial she's 30 i think

13:00

something like that um but the

13:04

uh i think what pertains to the

13:05

newsletter is i have noticed

13:09

and it's uh it i hope it comes to light

13:12

and it can be exposed but there are

13:13

numerous elite women who took advantage

13:17

of the masking requirements

13:21

and the lockdown it was kind of a twofer

13:23

for them

13:25

uh which includes hillary clinton nancy

13:27

pelosi

13:28

kellyanne conway and as most recently

13:30

revealed

13:31

kamala harris they all got work done on

13:35

their face

13:36

and they actually believed it when the

13:37

doctor said just a couple of days of

13:39

bruising

13:40

so that's why they've been out of the

13:42

running for a while you haven't seen

13:43

kamala and

13:44

and she came back and oh my god it's

13:46

it's like they almost all went to the

13:48

same doctor except nancy she's got some

13:50

kind of miracle worker

13:52

um it's it's really astounding and

13:54

people are noticing it

13:56

well kamala harris is looks terrible

13:59

well she's still swollen that's the

14:00

problem

14:01

she waited too long i have i have uh

14:04

experience in these uh

14:05

in these types of procedures okay well

14:07

good because here's the deal

14:10

uh here's the let me give you the whole

14:12

load

14:13

so they have the pictures of camille

14:15

harris from from seven

14:17

eight and then from eight days later

14:20

uh and it she looks like

14:24

she has a number of problems to me it

14:26

still looks more like botox than

14:27

anything except for the fact that i had

14:29

to notice this the last time i looked at

14:30

these

14:31

horrible pictures because it's i had i

14:34

didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday

14:36

so uh and i kept dozing off of the

14:39

computer so i put that picture of camila

14:40

harris up there and i look at it

14:42

and it just boom i'm wide awake

14:47

so uh it works it's anti-melatonin

14:51

so take so you take this she's so the

14:54

thing is if you look at her eyebrows

14:56

that's the key yes you'll see that the

14:59

the

15:00

corners of her eyebrows toward her ears

15:02

have been lifted up

15:04

so instead of her she has a low low

15:06

hanging

15:08

eyebrow that's usually slips right

15:10

across the top of the

15:12

other yes that part i think that's botox

15:15

that did that but she hasn't bought you

15:16

but

15:17

botox doesn't make your thing go up yes

15:20

if you inject it into the right spots

15:22

your eyebrows will raise a little bit

15:24

that's why a lot of women got him in the

15:25

first place

15:26

not just wrinkles on the forehead but

15:28

she has injectables in her cheeks

15:30

and that's the stuff that they always

15:32

they always hook these women into it

15:34

it's like oh we'll do an injectable

15:36

it'll be good for you know nine months

15:38

and they're never even ones a little bit

15:41

more squishy than the other you can see

15:43

it

15:43

and it takes a long time for the

15:45

puffiness to go down the rest of your

15:46

face to adjust to it

15:48

she had injectables and there's so many

15:50

different kinds some just really suck

15:52

okay well let's go back to the original

15:54

question before you go on to that

15:55

because i wanted to hear that too

15:57

which was if she had any serious work

16:01

done

16:02

eight days later would she be

16:04

presentable or not

16:06

no no you're not you're really not

16:08

presentable that's what the doctor

16:09

always says couple days of bruising

16:11

don't worry about it

16:12

it before these things really flesh out

16:14

it's typically a couple of months before

16:16

really everything yes

16:18

so she's coming out that's what makes me

16:20

think she didn't have any real work done

16:22

no just the injectables that's what i

16:24

think

16:25

and some botox oh yeah oh that's the

16:28

botox that's uh every that's

16:29

everything so much botox that her smile

16:33

what little of a smile she has has

16:35

turned into a grimaces

16:36

she really looks horrible

16:40

i mean if she thinks she's going to get

16:41

picked for vice president now with this

16:43

new look she's nuts well

16:46

i have a feeling that something else may

16:48

be in play i'm not quite sure i want to

16:51

ask some people about it i think she may

16:53

have been going for a different

16:54

face um look

16:58

a little less asian perhaps because

17:00

she's you know her roots

17:01

she's indian now she's a little more

17:04

joker

17:07

i don't think she was going for that but

17:09

yeah that's uh

17:10

no i i would say she was probably going

17:12

a little bit more for

17:13

ados look i mean that's just a hunch it

17:16

can't accuse her of it

17:17

but i wouldn't put it past her i think

17:19

she's done a lot of things for her

17:20

career and she desperately wants this

17:23

everyone everyone timed it even hillary

17:25

got all all

17:27

got a little uh refresh a little reboot

17:30

but again with and maybe maybe hillary

17:34

okay here's what happened hillary said

17:36

to kamala use my guy

17:38

then this guy oh yeah cause she could be

17:40

she has the same injectables

17:42

and because it's hillary the guy that

17:44

she uses probably hates

17:46

black folk now he probably doesn't

17:48

doesn't have

17:50

experience with the black features

17:53

but oh man i love that we're talking

17:55

about this longer than a vaccine that's

17:57

that we're really good

17:58

this is this is the point is

18:02

kamala harris is just submarined your

18:04

own career with this stupid move

18:06

you think yeah she's dead she did

18:09

if biden takes one look at her he's

18:12

gonna jump just the way i do when i have

18:13

her picture on the screen

18:15

i mean i still think that elizabeth

18:17

warren is in the running i mean she

18:19

she's really bankers already said no

18:21

they can't put her in if they do then

18:22

there goes the money okay so like i mean

18:25

is camelot then

18:28

my thesis about who's getting picked and

18:30

who's not and of course i'm on a

18:31

columbus shore side but she got screwed

18:33

by by uh

18:34

current events yeah yes not my fault but

18:38

i still i'm going by the original thesis

18:41

that

18:41

brought bloomberg into the conversation

18:44

and brought him into the running

18:46

that the bankers do not want biden i'm

18:48

going to say

18:49

the bankers do not want bernie and they

18:51

do not want warren because of the way

18:52

they

18:53

they've both been threatening the banks

18:55

so those two are

18:56

just done right and of course all this

18:58

uh

18:59

bernie unity platform stuff is just all

19:02

the charades

19:02

you know whoever is coming in as the as

19:04

the actual vice president who is

19:06

intended to be

19:07

the president but i just don't see it i

19:09

really

19:10

am at a loss for who who could it be who

19:12

did do they have anybody at this point

19:14

up for grabs and then biden's being

19:16

pressured if you i didn't

19:17

get this clip but joy re read it maybe

19:20

no i didn't get it

19:21

joy reid had him on her show and she was

19:24

demanding

19:25

to are you going to now did this now and

19:29

not right now tell us that you will be

19:31

nominating a black woman

19:33

yeah all right what about the black man

19:35

by the way

19:36

which has to be a black woman because

19:38

biden claimed he's gonna

19:39

pick a woman which is stupid why did you

19:42

claim anything

19:42

dummy so he uh he's being pressured to

19:46

put a black woman and if he does that

19:48

it's well it's believed by me and other

19:51

former democrats

19:53

that the democrat part the democrat

19:55

women

19:56

who want a white woman as the first

19:58

president of the united states that's a

20:00

female

20:00

are going to just bolt right so who do

20:04

the white women have as

20:06

a candidate who can who can they support

20:10

i think

20:10

i think it would be i think what your

20:12

original pick was would be

20:14

elizabeth warren yeah which they don't

20:16

know or they don't want to

20:18

come to grips with the fact that the

20:19

bankers have nixed it

20:23

yeah it's hard i don't know i mean he

20:25

could still pick her and help

20:26

screw the bankers and because of all the

20:28

pressure he's got to pick

20:29

somebody yeah

20:33

well hillary is on the scene again i

20:35

mean i'll just uh just since i happen to

20:37

have a clip and we're talking about her

20:38

this is

20:39

all she's apparently she all she can i

20:42

guess it's going to be about

20:43

russia screwed her give you a chance to

20:45

respond to the fact that donald trump

20:47

uh has now commuted the sentence of at

20:49

least one of the people who was

20:50

listening russia was clearly listening

20:51

but so was roger stone

20:52

what do you make of the commutation of

20:54

his sins well i think it's pretty clear

20:56

that stone threatened him uh he probably

20:59

threatened him privately but he also

21:00

threatened him publicly about what he

21:02

would say

21:03

if he uh had to go to prison and this is

21:06

a continuation

21:07

of the cover-up it's an ongoing cover-up

21:10

that trump and stone are true major

21:14

participants in

21:15

to try to prevent us from knowing all of

21:18

the details

21:19

about what they actually did in 2016.

21:22

uh some of it was very public i mean

21:24

asking russia

21:26

in public uh to interfere in an american

21:29

election but some of it was

21:31

um clandestine behind the scenes sending

21:34

messages the kinds of things that uh we

21:36

know about and i think much more

21:38

uh so what he did i just use the awesome

21:41

power of commutation as part of the

21:44

pardon power of the president

21:46

uh to basically shut up roger stone

21:50

uh so that roger stone would not spill

21:53

any more beans about what actually

21:55

happened and how much

21:56

donald trump actually knew

21:59

yeah unlike your husband who uh pardoned

22:03

mark rich when i went on to screw

22:06

millions out of billions or trillions

22:08

maybe

22:09

and uh susan susan goldberg

22:13

the uh weather underground bomb carrier

22:18

and many other fun people yeah yeah of

22:21

course

22:21

computation makes nothing but russians

22:24

uh while we're playing these clips we

22:26

might as well

22:26

officially identify ourselves we have

22:28

joined a new network

22:30

uh we are the founding uh members of the

22:32

network and very proud to be a part of

22:34

it

22:35

and uh it will soon be a streaming

22:38

everywhere

22:40

[Music]

22:49

[Music]

22:51

you have no idea how many submissions

22:53

came in for this network

22:56

just an orange man bad network yeah here

22:59

you're listening to the omb

23:01

network orange man bad

23:07

i'm not quite sure if it's r rated this

23:09

network

23:12

by the way she does it yeah every

23:14

everybody jumped it so we first we had

23:16

fletcher and that was uh

23:18

dame jennifer and darren of course

23:21

you are listening to the no agenda show

23:24

on the omb network orange man

23:27

bad i think it has i think we can get

23:30

investors

23:33

well in this climate yeah we got a few

23:35

months i think it's really possible

23:38

it could continue i wanted to dive into

23:42

something

23:43

uh i alluded to it just a second ago

23:46

how um bill clinton pardoned

23:49

susan goldberg as susan goldberg

23:52

we bumped into i think maybe a couple of

23:54

shows ago

23:56

um she

23:59

she was a member of the of the weather

24:03

underground

24:04

and uh she i guess she carried bombs

24:07

placed it in government buildings

24:08

i don't think anyone was hurt or or

24:10

killed uh but it did cause a lot of

24:12

damage

24:13

and she went i think she had a 54 year

24:16

sentence but then got out

24:18

after 16 years when bill clinton

24:19

pardoned her in uh 2001

24:22

susan l rosenberg and

24:25

we ran into her because she is the vice

24:29

chair of the board of directors of

24:32

thousand currents

24:33

which is the non-profit which

24:36

is the fiscal sponsor for black lives

24:39

matter

24:40

or black lives matter inc i should say

24:42

do you remember we talked about her

24:43

susan rosenberg you know the funny thing

24:46

is

24:47

yeah i remember talking about it but i

24:49

don't remember her being the

24:50

the clinton uh pardon me i just ran into

24:53

that by

24:54

by accident that that's new information

24:56

for me too

24:57

um and i look so i really did a deep

25:00

dive on

25:01

uh on thousand currents like what

25:03

exactly it did they seem to be more of a

25:05

pass-through than anything they're

25:06

you know their mission is we're very

25:08

concerned about people in the southern

25:09

hemisphere blah blah blah

25:11

nothing really about black lives matter

25:12

but i think susan rosenberg looking at

25:14

her history

25:15

she knows how to run non-profits and do

25:17

the financing so if there is a network

25:20

of old marxist communists who are

25:22

infiltrating then

25:24

she would be the one to come up with

25:26

this whole fiscal sponsorship scheme

25:28

so black lives matter isn't a non-profit

25:30

by itself it's just a group with a bank

25:32

account

25:33

and they get money and presumably just

25:36

you know

25:37

i don't even know what their status is

25:38

this fiscal sponsorship was

25:40

fiscal yeah sponsor i think it is it's

25:43

very odd

25:44

so she probably figured that one out um

25:47

and i think maybe we both had this clip

25:49

of uh patrice culler saying that she was

25:52

a trained marxist

25:54

yeah well i dove into that thinking i

25:56

could connect her to

25:57

susan rosenberg and it wasn't just that

26:00

one interview she said it on a different

26:01

interview as well and it's kind of part

26:03

of her script idea

26:04

she's proud she's proud of herself yeah

26:06

um

26:07

i think that the criticism is helpful

26:11

um i also think that it might

26:14

um i think of a lot of things

26:17

the first thing i think is that we

26:19

actually do have an ideological frame

26:21

myself and alicia in particular are

26:24

trained organizers

26:26

we are trained marxists

26:30

we are

26:33

super versed

26:37

um on sort of ideological theories

26:40

and i think that what we really try to

26:42

do is build a movement that could be

26:44

utilized by many many black folk

26:47

so superversed i don't know what that

26:50

means but it sounds like some kind of

26:51

badge she's super versed as a trained

26:53

marxist

26:54

by coincidence or maybe not i was uh

26:57

uh talking with mo and he he gave me a

27:00

little bit of

27:01

background on marxism with

27:04

ados or african americans dating back to

27:07

uh the 30s and i had no idea that that

27:11

uh let's say blacks in the south that

27:14

they

27:15

were kind of um well they weren't

27:18

actually recruited but they were drawn

27:19

to

27:20

communist stooges who were out trying to

27:23

get the uh

27:24

you know get workers unionized and cause

27:27

trouble

27:27

in the united states and so i just yeah

27:29

but you have to remember yes this is

27:31

true

27:31

and actually probably even goes into the

27:33

20s but you have to remember that in the

27:35

30s during the depression half the

27:37

country was being lured by the kind yes

27:39

no no that's the beauty of it including

27:42

half of hollywood

27:43

they didn't actually go aft they weren't

27:45

intending to go after blacks

27:46

here's the story how did the communist

27:48

party get started in

27:49

alabama in 1928 the communist

27:53

position internationally was that

27:56

african-americans in the south

27:58

have the right to self-determination

28:00

meaning they have the right to create

28:02

their own nation in the south

28:05

and it's a position that came out of

28:07

moscow it came from other

28:09

black communists around the globe and

28:12

with that

28:13

idea in mind they sent two organizers

28:17

to alabama and they went to birmingham

28:19

and they chose birmingham because it was

28:21

probably

28:21

the most industrialized city in the

28:23

south

28:24

and they went there thinking they would

28:26

organize white workers and from white

28:28

workers black workers

28:30

would follow but no white workers would

28:32

come forward

28:33

and so the first two organizers was a

28:36

guy named james

28:37

giulio who was a sicilian worker who had

28:40

migrated to alabama

28:41

and another guy named tom johnson and

28:44

together

28:45

they went out looking for white workers

28:47

and black workers came

28:49

and black workers came in fairly large

28:51

numbers right away

28:52

because for them they had a memory of

28:55

reconstruction a memory of the civil war

28:58

and in that kind of collective memory

29:00

they were told that

29:01

one day the yankees would come back and

29:03

finish the fight

29:05

when they saw these white communists

29:06

they said oh good the yankees are here

29:08

we can't wait to join

29:10

i thought that was really interesting

29:11

that they went there to to get

29:13

white workers and the blacks came and

29:15

they kind of i guess they got hoodwinked

29:18

and uh

29:21

well i think that's kind of a

29:22

patronizing story if if not

29:24

uh oh it's very it's it's very

29:27

simplistic it's very simple

29:28

though the black people that showed up

29:31

for this meeting were

29:32

stupid absolutely no absolutely not

29:35

i think they were lied lied to that's

29:38

what i think

29:39

it doesn't it doesn't really matter i'm

29:40

just i'm just showing this

29:43

you have to remember again there's lots

29:44

of comedies all over the place during

29:46

the 30s

29:46

right and i think they take over the

29:48

country they were trying to overthrow

29:49

the government besides the fact that the

29:50

democrat party was trying to overthrow

29:52

the government

29:53

of roosevelt with the attempted coup

29:56

yes and exactly so the whole place was a

30:00

mess

30:00

my dad used to tell me these stories

30:02

about the depression era and

30:04

it's kind of like it is now which is a

30:06

depression

30:08

okay so i'll just jump ahead i don't

30:10

have to prove that there's been a lot of

30:11

marxist influence on

30:13

african americans but not to turn them

30:16

into marxists or communists but to use

30:19

them

30:19

to use them as a tool as a tool yes as

30:23

a tool use the right word and dupe as a

30:26

dupe

30:27

okay dupe is the word so i'm glad that

30:29

you that you

30:30

your dad would yap about that and i'm

30:32

glad that you uh say it's

30:33

very similar to now as uh i found the

30:36

democracy now clip here is patrice

30:38

callers once again co-founder of black

30:40

lives matter

30:42

and uh let's see if we can tire into any

30:44

of these groups

30:45

from of course not the 30s but maybe the

30:47

60s 70s

30:49

as you began to develop the black lives

30:52

matter uh theme and uh

30:55

and also talk about the strategy you

30:57

mentioned you had to come out of the

30:58

strategy center what was the strategy

31:00

center

31:00

well i would i'm a trained organizer and

31:02

so i think sometimes

31:04

people think that because black lives

31:05

matter is the biggest thing

31:07

that that's the first thing i ever did

31:09

and it's not i

31:10

um which was trained knocking on doors

31:14

you know getting on buses and passing

31:16

out flyers and

31:17

getting people to join organizations the

31:19

labor community strategy center is my

31:21

first political home

31:22

it's where i would um be a part of what

31:25

it's famous for which is the bus writers

31:27

union started by an old

31:29

friend of mine yeah

31:33

eric mann double n does this ring a bell

31:38

uh sounds familiar but it doesn't ring a

31:40

bell another weather underground member

31:42

oh okay who also set up the

31:46

bus riders union in los angeles

31:49

and currently runs i think for the past

31:51

10 years or even longer the labor

31:53

community strategy center in los angeles

31:56

which interestingly

31:59

he goes back to the august 29th movement

32:04

also known as atm which in 1978

32:08

merged with the chinese american

32:10

organization iwk the iowa

32:13

queen and the black revolutionary

32:15

communist league to form the

32:16

multi-racial multinational league

32:19

a revolutionary struggle which i think

32:21

is kind of we're looking at derivative

32:23

groups of that right now and

32:24

she trained for over 10 years with eric

32:28

mann

32:30

so you gotta think maybe she picked up a

32:32

few tips

32:33

so i found uh a 2010

32:37

workshop online by eric mann called the

32:40

transformative workshop it's at a

32:42

university i'm not sure which one

32:45

um but possibly in los angeles

32:48

and here you can hear where his his

32:50

whole thing is he wants to

32:52

kill the empire which is you know

32:54

overturn the government i think that's

32:55

kind of what the old

32:56

marxist socialist that's what they

32:58

always want to do turned into the

32:59

welfare stake get rid of capitalism

33:02

uh but that's called transformative

33:04

transformation and transformative

33:05

organizing

33:06

the second is that transformative

33:08

organizing begins by a challenge to the

33:11

us

33:11

empire we live in a country

33:15

that is running two declared wars at the

33:18

same time

33:19

iraq and afghanistan that is causing

33:22

misery for basically people

33:24

all over the world except in venezuela

33:27

cuba

33:28

and other places where they've been

33:29

successfully able to resist imperialism

33:31

um when they talk about getting rid of

33:35

poverty and people who have

33:37

only two two dollars a day that's based

33:40

on the united states imperialism

33:41

imposing its

33:42

free market economy on the world so that

33:45

people can't even have water

33:46

in their own countries so so with these

33:49

people

33:50

in our scholastic system and educational

33:53

system there's no one no wonder they

33:54

turn out hating america i mean this guy

33:56

is speaking at a university

33:58

he's written books i mean there's

34:00

there's legion of these people

34:02

he makes uh he says this is typical of

34:05

these

34:06

guys he says we were having two

34:07

simultaneously declared wars

34:09

yes we had no declared wars it was

34:12

neither were declared exactly

34:14

but the tactics of the marxist are well

34:16

known

34:17

it's it's pit to teams against each

34:21

other

34:21

and then you can control both and

34:22

they'll actually work side by side

34:25

and it's kind of the way the cia does it

34:28

it's

34:28

i think it goes back to hegel it's been

34:30

around for a while this concept

34:32

but you can do man woman might sound

34:35

familiar you can do race

34:36

black white but it's not really about

34:39

the black or the white or the man or the

34:41

woman it's about

34:42

weakening the empire to overthrow it as

34:45

he explains in this clip

34:47

when i got involved in the movement it

34:48

was for civil rights and against the war

34:52

and very quickly single civil rights

34:54

started calling itself black liberation

34:56

and the in the against the war was

34:58

vietnamese liberation

35:00

so we were part of an anti-racist

35:01

anti-imperialist united front

35:03

and we all became radicalized and i

35:05

think that's what we want to do today is

35:07

bring this

35:08

into low-income communities of color

35:10

because we believe

35:12

that these advanced ideas are not

35:14

imposing our agenda on somebody

35:17

it means that we're somebody that we

35:18

have views

35:20

we're part of the community the

35:21

community is divided

35:23

we'll bring those ideas in and the

35:25

community will decide if they want them

35:26

they're free agents but it makes no

35:28

sense to go in and say

35:30

i have no agenda well you do have an

35:32

agenda

35:34

and they do have an agenda the agenda is

35:36

to overthrow the empire

35:38

but but these groups this guy and and

35:41

trained uh patrice colors

35:44

see race as a tool or use

35:47

racial groups as uh stooges

35:51

to achieve their overthrow of the empire

35:53

transformer

35:54

organizing focus on society's most

35:55

depressed and exploited classes it's a

35:58

strategic alliance strategic

36:00

we believe eventually that the vast

36:01

majority of people in the united states

36:03

can be won to an anti-racist

36:06

anti-fearless politics

36:07

but that's very very hard you have to

36:10

start somewhere

36:11

we start with the intersection of the

36:13

black and latino community

36:15

as a strategic alliance that's central

36:18

to building a broader multiracial left

36:21

and within that the role of the black

36:22

and latino working class

36:24

including defining the working class as

36:27

women in the home

36:28

bus riders prisoners people on afdc

36:32

yes factory workers people at the point

36:34

of production

36:35

but there are many ways to organize the

36:37

working class besides just

36:39

as workers because they're working class

36:42

every minute of their day

36:43

so we have a bus riders union we have uh

36:46

community rights trying to get kids out

36:47

of

36:48

the pre-prison system those people are

36:50

just as working-class as a factory

36:52

worker

36:54

so it really doesn't matter as long as

36:57

they can get a pro and a con group

36:58

together they'll use it

37:00

to weaken the system and this is the

37:02

only clip that really matters this one

37:04

because i think that this type of

37:06

thinking that

37:06

clearly is in universities probably in

37:09

grade schools

37:09

and has taken over the

37:13

woke infrastructure with black lives

37:15

matter

37:16

is is in fact this dishonest crap that

37:19

they're doing

37:19

to weaken society it's not about race

37:22

it's not about lgbt you know

37:24

you think you're special no they don't

37:25

care about you this is identity politics

37:27

which i agree is where the democrat

37:29

party is all in on this

37:31

and this is what really matters he

37:33

answers the question

37:34

what do you actually want

37:39

when you're involved in a movement they

37:40

always say well what do you people want

37:42

when you're not you know when you go to

37:42

the police station or go to the

37:44

university

37:45

so here are some things we want that we

37:47

think are systematic with transformative

37:49

organizing

37:50

systematic transformative organizers

37:53

they're all caught up in these

37:54

terms this is 10 years ago though this

37:56

is 10 years ago it's not that long ago

37:58

here we go with the list show's older

38:00

than this this guy's speech free the u.s

38:04

2 million prisoners

38:08

no prisons us out of afghanistan and

38:11

iraq now bring the troops home troops

38:13

home

38:16

we want the social welfare state not the

38:18

police states 100 000 more buses

38:21

new hospitals mental health clinics and

38:22

public schools and 100 000 less police

38:25

39:32

percent below 1990 levels

39:34

by 2017. is the climate change

39:38

that's not barack obama

39:42

self-determination and sovereignty for

39:43

the palestinian people

39:45

yeah hello ayanna presley always got to

39:47

40:00

protect the communists

40:03

and stop the embargo on cuba

40:07

get rid of marco rubio finally end the

40:09

war on drugs

40:11

the war on crime the war on gangs and

40:13

the war on terror

40:15

okay so

40:18

if it sounds familiar that's because i

40:20

think that's been going on

40:23

well it's very famous also on the list

40:25

of the radical abolitionist movement

40:27

web pages yeah yeah it's been there for

40:29

a year i've been there for years none of

40:30

this is new

40:32

none of this is uh should be a shock to

40:34

anybody

40:35

no i'm sure you got the 10-year moment i

40:38

bet you go back 20 years you'll find

40:39

another example of it that

40:41

that is limited is the same but they

40:43

probably they put the trendy things in

40:45

like

40:46

climate change lgbtq whatever but a lot

40:49

of people don't realize that they say

40:50

it's marxist it's so

40:52

they don't really know what they're

40:53

talking about and

40:55

to me that kind of brought it all into

40:56

clarity okay when we say this or

40:59

uh cultural marxism whatever you want

41:01

it's this

41:02

it's this and it's not to solve anyone's

41:05

problem it's only to

41:07

ultimately uh get rid of the police get

41:10

rid of the army

41:11

yeah so they can walk in i guess and

41:13

they pray

41:14

on week weeks

41:18

dummies and i think patrice cullers was

41:21

primed that she was ready

41:24

to be sucked into this listen this is a

41:26

quick just a few quick clips

41:28

about her uh her growing up and it

41:30

sounds a little reminiscent of robin

41:32

d'angelo

41:33

i grew up queen i grew up as a working

41:36

class

41:37

queer black woman and

41:40

a single parent household no father

41:44

my father was in and out of prison

41:46

addiction um

41:48

both my my basically all my family

41:51

is like the kind of typical uh

41:55

life of black working class people so

41:57

she's 17

41:58

i'm sorry i don't think that necessarily

42:02

being a drug adult is a life of

42:05

typical typical black working-class

42:07

people

42:08

no i that's her generalization but this

42:10

is her recounting

42:11

story she's been she's a wreck she's a

42:14

everything's

42:15

you know she put the checklist down

42:16

let's follow what she has to say she's

42:18

obviously the one to follow because

42:20

of her uh background i you know this is

42:22

like insanity

42:24

okay so let's follow her for a second

42:26

because you're going to see the model is

42:28

there this is this is

42:29

the easy prey i think for me when i

42:32

came to the organization when i was

42:33

organized into the organization

42:36

how about that for some cultish language

42:38

huh when i was organized into the

42:40

organization

42:41

i think for me when i came to the

42:43

organization when i was organized into

42:45

the organization i was 17 and a half

42:49

i was really angry i was

42:52

really angry and i didn't have

42:55

a direction i just was spewing anger i

42:58

was angry at

42:59

what i bared witness with my family and

43:01

police brutality i was angry

43:03

that my mother had to work three jobs

43:05

and she never slept i was angry

43:07

that just like there were so many things

43:09

that i was looking at

43:10

and so many things that i was angry

43:12

about

43:13

and um damon azalea and jaren brown

43:17

who's in the room today he's a part of

43:18

power

43:20

who i joked with i said hey remember how

43:21

i was 17 and a half and you organized me

43:26

organized me into the bus riders union

43:28

at the time and

43:29

what actually um it's cult code

43:32

or they're laughing about it you

43:34

remember when you organized me there's

43:36

obviously some kind of ritual or

43:38

something or something that sounded like

43:40

she

43:40

got laid caught my attention i was

43:44

uh they had showed a 10-minute clip

43:47

of the bus riders union and there was uh

43:50

the scene in the film where

43:54

there's a black woman organizing on the

43:56

bus and there's a korean woman

43:58

organizing

43:58

the back of the bus and the black woman

44:00

is speaking spanish

44:02

and i'm like wait what and then the

44:05

black woman turns to a korean

44:06

grandmother

44:07

and goes oh korean college to the korean

44:10

the korean organizer in the back and i

44:12

was like

44:13

you have a korean speaker can you come

44:14

organize her and i was so organized

44:16

i was like that that's what i want to be

44:18

a part of

44:19

that right there makes sense to me so

44:22

that or that using it as a as a verb

44:26

that way

44:26

organize me is weird that's that's

44:29

cultish stuff

44:31

remember when you organize me code

44:33

anyway so the bottom line this is her

44:35

this is her real issue

44:36

my life hasn't really changed much my

44:38

brother's still in prison

44:40

um my my father passed away in december

44:42

and what i say

44:43

of racism he was only 53 years old

44:47

and he passed of racism because this

44:49

country killed him

44:51

okay so there's some hatred there some

44:54

severe hatred issues this country killed

44:57

him so no wonder and

44:59

and she is organized

45:03

so all of this is

45:06

it's a cycle i guess except now we have

45:08

the social media

45:09

network aspect to it and that cranks up

45:13

the noodle gun which is

45:15

yeah you have these dummies that are all

45:17

in on this thing

45:18

because they oh yeah okay we have to

45:20

destroy the country we just overthrow

45:22

the government which is

45:23

really what this boils down to when it

45:25

comes because that's what they say

45:26

yes uh why would you so you're in other

45:29

words you're

45:31

especially you're in college in the

45:33

university somewhere and you can

45:34

actually afford to go to one of them

45:36

and you want to overthrow the government

45:38

because you will benefit in some way is

45:40

that the consumer benefit or

45:42

for some i mean what is the point this

45:44

is a

45:45

a very interesting fog that they've

45:48

established stupidly

45:51

well crazy crazy part of it you know i

45:54

take my

45:55

i take my learnings from professor

45:57

theodore kaczynski

45:59

who said that you know the you look at

46:01

the kids we went through the

46:02

you know think of the children give them

46:04

participation trophies that never had

46:06

anything to fight for

46:07

they haven't had to fight for shelter

46:09

for food the ones that we're seeing

46:10

protesting at least

46:11

the looting is a different different

46:13

gang different bunch but that's

46:15

it's also explainable but the protests

46:18

that turn into

46:19

larping attacks

46:22

finally these kids have something to

46:24

live for they were given you know the 20

46:26

year olds now they were

46:27

hey you know come to college

46:30

you get a piece of paper it's going to

46:32

be great and then they're working for 11

46:33

to 15 bucks an hour

46:35

uh doing retail customers treating them

46:38

like shit

46:39

and then you know and they have no

46:41

future

46:42

they've they've not been challenged and

46:44

all of a sudden this comes along and

46:45

wow yeah and the feedback mechanism of

46:48

the videos and online postings and the

46:50

likes and the shares and the

46:52

community and the rainbows and

46:54

everything it's so

46:56

obvious to me now and all you need to do

46:59

is just throw

47:00

a couple organizers with some money

47:02

thank you george soros

47:03

with an extra 220 million promised so we

47:06

know where that's going

47:07

that's going into the susan rosenberg

47:10

version of the

47:11

or half of the system and she

47:13

distributes the money or people like her

47:15

i'm sure there's many more when we look

47:17

and these are the old fuckers from the

47:18

60s and 70s

47:21

that's what's so crazy they're still in

47:22

the game

47:24

yeah well they should have been kept in

47:26

jail but i guess what are you going to

47:27

do

47:28

i'm impressed i mean let me also

47:31

i get i'm also kind of you have to kind

47:33

of admire soros

47:35

because if you really think about i had

47:37

a when i worked for bills if you get

47:38

these guys to get a lot of money bills

47:40

was one of the first of the of the first

47:42

round of billionaires he was one of the

47:44

first

47:46

back when there was like 20 in the world

47:48

not a thousand

47:49

and uh he people talk about his

47:53

relatives were talking about this too

47:55

he liked to fuck with people

47:58

he had all these he had this huge bunch

48:00

of magazines and he'd find a couple of

48:01

people i know a lot of rich people who

48:03

do that shit

48:04

yeah it's reminds it's actually people

48:07

watched the movie changing places with

48:09

eddie murphy and

48:10

and uh whoever else was in it uh with

48:13

the two rich guys who bet a dollar

48:16

that if these two guys were given this

48:18

you know they just it was some

48:19

crazy trading places yeah the trade

48:21

trades trading places

48:22

it just to screw with people and the

48:24

idea was you you note that there's these

48:26

two people that were bitching about each

48:28

other

48:29

yeah so you put them together

48:33

making the head of some new magazine or

48:35

you do something like that or are you

48:37

george you just

48:37

really know that kind of like make him

48:39

co-ceos of a publication or co-editors

48:42

just to see him blow up

48:43

that's sick that's sick and that's what

48:47

the kind of thing

48:48

and it's not just like you said there's

48:51

a lot of super rich people

48:53

that do evil it's fucking and i think

48:55

it's hilarious

48:56

well it's not that i don't think it's

48:58

evil it's good-hearted

49:00

fun by their standards yes precisely

49:03

different group different standards and

49:05

so i'm convinced

49:06

soros is one of these guys only he does

49:08

it on a grand worldwide scale and he

49:11

just

49:12

has to because he's always got a kind of

49:14

a shit-eating grin in a funny kind of a

49:16

way

49:17

you know when you see him speaking he's

49:18

got a stupid look on his face yeah

49:20

like he's just got it he's just having

49:22

nothing but fun

49:24

it's interesting though if you look at

49:25

soros goldberg

49:27

and man you know when you see a group of

49:29

the these three people

49:32

it's not hard to understand why many

49:34

ados

49:35

think the jews are out to get the black

49:37

man

49:40

soros goldberg and what's interesting i

49:42

didn't i shit i forgot to clip it

49:45

he said a man said that he grew up uh i

49:48

think he was born in 42 or 43.

49:50

and his mom silent generation that's

49:52

what most of those guys very few of them

49:53

are

49:53

baby boomers baby boomers are more

49:56

likely to be

49:57

a patriotic and his mom would just hound

50:00

him about

50:01

you know the fascists the fascists the

50:03

fascists and specifically the fascists

50:05

they came for the jews they'll come

50:07

again and they're going after black

50:08

people

50:09

and that's kind of his reasoning for why

50:11

he's so interested in the plight of uh

50:13

dark-skinned people doesn't really

50:16

matter with their history as long as

50:18

they're dark-skinned

50:19

yeah it's kind of rather patronizing but

50:22

it's

50:23

i think that's i think that's uh i think

50:25

that's

50:26

where he gets it all from it's just it's

50:28

insane when you start to dive into it

50:30

and you look at what's happening like

50:31

every single topic from climate change

50:34

to lgbtqiapk

50:38

you know equal rights not that i'm

50:39

against equal rights but

50:41

you know it's like all of this stuff

50:43

it's all their fingerprint and it's the

50:45

same thing it's just now it's being used

50:48

i mean is it still being used by china

50:51

who have been who have infiltrated

50:53

everywhere and deploy this

50:54

or is it just the democrat party or is

50:57

it also the republican party is everyone

50:59

doing are we the only shitheads who

51:00

aren't doing this stuff

51:01

yet you know it's the chinese communist

51:04

party the ccp

51:06

they they know these tactics these are

51:08

all these

51:09

all stem from marxists early marxist

51:11

tactics

51:12

lenin uh right it's nothing new to them

51:16

and so they probably see

51:18

they would just amplify it sure they

51:20

know what's going on they're not idiots

51:22

and china is asshole

51:24

says ho so let's talk about some uh

51:27

some spies

51:30

we got spies in houston and they're

51:32

going through the standard operating

51:34

procedure of the burn bag

51:36

which is everyone's like this is crazy

51:38

look what's going on the burning

51:40

documents

51:41

did remember the russian embassy who

51:43

closed it was trump who kicked him out

51:45

like you said obama was it still obama

51:48

yeah

51:48

and they immediately started burning

51:50

documents so

51:51

that's the standard operating procedure

51:53

that's what you do well maybe it was

51:54

trump maybe it was early interest i

51:56

thought it was early in twitter but that

51:57

was

51:57

they i've got a bunch of clips on this

51:59

and there's stuff i didn't know

52:01

good um and we can start with listening

52:04

to a few of these if you want to talk

52:05

about the consulate yeah let's do that

52:07

uh this is chinese consulate one i could

52:11

have guessed

52:11

a global fight escalates again today's

52:15

move to close the chinese consulate in

52:17

houston

52:18

is the latest action by the trump

52:20

administration against beijing

52:22

nick schifrin reports on what is at

52:24

stake

52:25

in the courtyard of china's houston

52:27

consulate chinese staff in a hurry

52:29

they burned documents in drums last

52:31

night after the administration ordered

52:33

the consulate closed

52:34

citing a pattern of chinese theft and

52:36

espionage

52:38

we are setting out clear expectations

52:39

for how the chinese communist party is

52:41

going to behave

52:42

and when they don't we're going to take

52:44

actions that protect the american people

52:46

administration and intelligence

52:48

officials tell pbs newshour the chinese

52:50

have used the houston consulate

52:52

as a hub for espionage just yesterday

52:54

the department of justice for the first

52:56

time accused chinese hackers of working

52:58

for both personal gain

52:59

and the communist party china has now

53:01

taken its place

53:03

alongside russia iran and north korea

53:06

in that shameful club of nations that

53:09

provide a safe haven for cyber criminals

53:11

in exchange for those criminals being on

53:14

call

53:14

for the benefit of the state but senior

53:17

officials tell pbs newshour today was

53:19

also about diplomatic reciprocity

53:21

in january out of fears of covid the u.s

53:23

evacuated its wuhan consulate

53:25

it has not reopened because of a dispute

53:27

over whether u.s employees

53:29

have to quarantine and take covet 19

53:31

tests upon arrival to chinese airports

53:34

longer term u.s officials say they want

53:36

to reduce their footprint in china

53:38

in addition to the beijing embassy the

53:40

u.s has five consulates on the chinese

53:42

mainland

53:43

and the hong kong consulate senior

53:45

officials say they've accepted the

53:46

likely permanent closure of one

53:48

consulate

53:49

and intend to move it elsewhere in asia

53:51

you know it's really no wonder when you

53:52

listen to these news reports and i

53:53

wonder who was doing that reading what

53:55

this station it was on because there's

53:56

no wonder that no one gives a crap about

53:58

china because it's really not compelling

53:59

the way it's delivered

54:02

the hell what station is this that's

54:04

your pbs newshour hello

54:06

oh my god that's really so exciting i

54:08

don't know why people don't listen to it

54:09

but we did report on the story bitches

54:10

spoke it this way and then no one really

54:12

paid attention to me

54:14

i'm pretty good at that voice down you

54:16

nailed it you could go to work

54:19

for pbs exit strategy everybody

54:25

yes i would i would agree with that in

54:27

fact

54:29

yes yes well again yeah uh

54:32

that's why we're here so so what did he

54:34

actually say because i fell asleep i

54:36

think halfway through

54:37

uh he said that there uh there's a quid

54:39

pro quo at play yeah was this because of

54:41

the one hand but a lot of it had to do

54:43

with this indictment

54:45

which was linked in the show in in the

54:48

the excitement the

54:49

actual indictment was linked in the

54:50

newsletter yes it was

54:52

and you can read it i read it it's very

54:54

entertaining what did you learn

54:56

i learned that these guys are bad actors

54:59

what were they stealing us

55:00

blind they've been doing it for 30 years

55:02

apparently

55:03

and nobody's done anything about it

55:05

until trump came along

55:06

and it was going to continue until we

55:09

just basically had no industry

55:10

it moved everything all that industrial

55:13

manufacturing and everything to china

55:14

because it was

55:15

cheaper i'm really amazed no one is so

55:17

outraged like you are because probably

55:19

they didn't hear it when i was telling

55:20

them the story about what was going on

55:21

with chinese and chinese

55:23

okay you get the gag okay good yeah the

55:25

getty is good

55:26

um two

55:30

chinese consulate two i can't wait

55:33

there you go more more security advisor

55:35

robert o'brien on the ideology of the

55:37

chinese communist party or ccp

55:39

the ccp's stated goal is to create a

55:42

community of common destiny for mankind

55:44

and to remake the entire world according

55:47

to the ccp

55:48

fbi director christopher wray if you're

55:50

an american adult

55:52

it is more likely than not that china

55:54

has stolen

55:56

your personal data and attorney general

55:58

william barr

55:59

the ultimate ambition of china's rulers

56:03

isn't to trade with the united states

56:06

it is to raid the united states u.s

56:09

china relationship

56:09

at their lowest point since relations

56:11

began in 1979

56:13

take the case of houston the eyes of

56:15

texas were on dongxiao ping today

56:18

in 1979 then chinese leader deng

56:20

xiaoping visited the city

56:22

and the johnson space center houston was

56:24

the first chinese consulate in the u.s

56:26

but while some china watchers worry

56:28

about the confrontation the trump

56:30

administration says it's overdue for an

56:32

awful long time our policy simply

56:34

reflected

56:35

allowing china to engage in behavior

56:36

that was radically unreciprocal

56:38

enormously unfair to the american people

56:40

and frankly put america's national

56:42

security at risk and so we have begun

56:45

to turn that around i

56:48

uh it's interesting that pbs did pick a

56:51

couple of quotes from barr

56:53

the piece that we played so that but

56:55

just you know one or two quickies

56:57

didn't he didn't put any of the nazi

56:59

talk he didn't get any of the good stuff

57:01

and he didn't get anything good from ray

57:03

but by the way it was interesting in

57:04

that clip

57:06

where you had this monotone guy you've

57:08

been ridiculing here

57:09

and that that that talks like this and

57:12

then they

57:13

drove back to a clip from the 1970s

57:15

where they see

57:16

which was seen the eyes of texas

57:20

yeah exactly i love that and then done

57:28

to the stage

57:32

yeah okay never mind uh so if you

57:35

so that it is very contrasty and you're

57:37

right and it's pot and i didn't notice

57:39

i did notice this because i was trying

57:41

to get clips and i'm

57:43

thinking in fact i could have clipped

57:44

this even more

57:46

tightly and with differences i'm

57:47

enjoying it don't get me wrong but i

57:49

know

57:49

what i noticed when i was getting the

57:51

clips not

57:52

i didn't pick up on it but i didn't

57:54

realize it was the presentation itself

57:56

that was so bad

57:58

not the material the material is pretty

58:00

good once you pointed it out

58:02

it's hard guys a monotone

58:07

blah blah loser blah it you know it's no

58:10

good and

58:11

it's and i think the newshour pbs

58:13

newshour is getting

58:14
