Someone has to pay. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday,
March 28 2019. This is your award winning game nation media
assassination episode he Lemond 24. This is no agenda. It's a
dark day for the internet. We're broadcasting live from the
capital of the drone Star state here downtown Austin. Hey,
housing the Claudio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
in from Northern Silicon Valley where we're maxed out. I'm John
C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
maxed out on what
Max done in the max plane. 737. Max, are you at all this year?
Are you still on the max story? It's like, move on. Man. We have
so many more stories to
deal with getting stuff from people. Oh,
I know. I know. There's one small problem that's cropped up.
People are very quick to share something from a Google Drive,
which I appreciate. Whenever because especially because I
restrict how many megabytes can come through on my mail server
you have
I would tell people this if you send anything to adam@curry.com,
and it's over 10, I think 700 bytes. 10 megabytes. You can't
get it through 10 megabytes. My but yeah,
it'll do 10 megabytes. Go on? Yeah. So the headers, like you
often get true. I changed that, what maybe seven or eight years
ago? Sure. Yeah. Because people you know, they Oh, I found this
great movie. Here's the DVD. Yeah. Send me a ISO files. Okay.
Now,
you'll have a gigabit line. It's not it's
about the storage space. storage space. I don't have my own mail
server. I don't use the G mails. Anyway, when people send me
something through the Google Drive. They automatically assume
that they can share it with Adam mccurry.com. But I do not repeat
do not have an Adam mccurry.com account linked to Google for
obvious reasons. So I always have to say could you please
reshare to this Gmail address? I think there's a way you can do
it or you can just share with anyone right doesn't have to be
one person me that there's a box you can tick. Yeah, I would
think
I'm just saying it for people. It's appreciated the share. I
just can't access
it once in a while. I don't get it that often. Because people do
this. Here's a Google Drive. Link. I click on it usually
works. Yeah.
Yeah. Me It's more often than not it doesn't. So an
interesting week.
Yeah, it's pretty good. Lively.
Yeah, I was down for the count on the couch. But I got a lot of
opportunity to watch people's heads explode, which is kind of
fun. And then also switching back there was some stuff on C
span little bit, but I guess it really was the media. That was
the main focus this week. Yeah, how fine they perform, how well
they do.
Well, they're they're digging themselves out of a hole and I'm
watching it change the narrative as well. You know, it's that's
what we're really what we manage. I mean, the watch this,
this backpedaling, it's just astonishing. It's very well
done. You know, what,
just from an overall meta perspective, what I saw was, we
had the four pager from Barr, which, which kind of said,
everyone's like, Oh, wait a minute. Now. Now we got a
problem. We were very wrong. Then it was like, Oh, well,
don't worry, because the Southern District of New York,
there's the Southern District of New York, that's
the rescue right?
And then to the Southern District of New York, the next
day, the Southern District of New York speaks. But what it
says is this today,
we announced criminal extortion charges against Michael
Avenatti. Your charges are based on Avenatti scheme to extract
more than $20 million dollars in payments from a public company
by threatening to use his ability to garner publicity, to
inflict financial and reputational harm on the
competent
and we'll talk about that in a second. So nothing really
changed. It was there was not a lot of info, but it was the
southern district in New York, the narrative had changed about
the SDN why. And then the next day Jussie Smollett has all his
charges dropped, and the whole new cycle changed. It was like
this beautiful, dare I say orchestrated moment where there
was we don't know what to do. And boom, we got a two punch
with a tap first and then a solid left hook. And now we're
into something else. And then the pivot started now the new as
you say, news is starting to dig itself out of the hole. And when
you look at I mean, Avenatti connected to CNN, CNN.
Yes. The thing about Avenatti I don't know Do you have any
clips?
That yes, I have a Fox Business News Analysis.
Well, the thing about you know what, unfortunately for him or
what for the for the news media. Is this really He puts into
doubt the whole thing with stormy Daniels. Oh, because this
guy's just trying to pull a Jesse distortion, extortion,
extortion racket, which you can't do the way he did it? No.
I mean, you have to know how you do that properly. Here's
the How about this clip from listeners Fox Business news
clip, see if we learn anything more about what actually
happened because I think there is a real story here. It's just
he played it in stupid way since that
people were looking out for money for my club, and that he
his his, his law firm and filed for bankruptcy, his ex wife was
looking for money. Is there any background, you could share that
perhaps what would have led him to because this whole Nike thing
went down and basically just the last couple of days.
What I think is interesting about the speed of the Nike
situation, I mean, it literally is like a four day case is that
they moved this quickly to do criminal complaints. And I tell
you, there's two reasons for a criminal complaint and a white
collar case, which this is still primarily a white collar case.
The first is it lets people with press conferences say a lot more
because there's a public record of an affidavit that has more in
it. So you could see from the New York Press Conference in
particular, I mean, they were laying it on thick, calling them
everything under the sun and describing every nook and cranny
of their case. The other thing it does is it says we're not
going to wait and do grand jury, we're going to hurry up and put
handcuffs on this guy. And I'm a little curious whether the
government's perspective is going to be that this man needs
to be locked up pretrial, that they wanted to hurry, they see a
person who's out of control. They argue that he's a risk of
flight, they may even argue that he's a danger of economic harm,
which is kind of a rarely used theory for detention. But I
think the next week or so is going to be very telling in
terms of what their approach is going to be towards.
I just want to I just want to point out how much like the end
of The Godfather this looks like where all the enemies get it at
the same time. The Moller report is a bus. He gets hold off the
other guy gara go through this connection. There's a connection
to Kaepernick the quarterback. Mr. President, warm up the
Twitter fingers. You have a long night ahead of you, sir.
That was another kind of analysis you can make kind of
like that. Yeah, Trump good Godfather got all his enemies in
one fell swoop. But the but the Nike thing and you know, that's
probably going to be true. The allegations, if they
have the inherently they had recorded him. Have they had a
wiretap pick for some rather reason or whatever. And they
caught him doing this in real time. And that's when they
really that's why they went so fast.
Right. And he was extorting them. But you also have to think
that Nike really has a problem. You know, amidst the college
admission scandal, and you know them because the accusation I
think, is they're bribing young athletes paying them signing up
for contracts pre, you know, in high school. All of this, I
guess, is not legal. I'm not sure how that all works. Sports,
not my not my wheelhouse. Do you know, I think about this
chargeless
trouble. They're in actually, I mean, they are pretty
circumspect about those deals. They'd like to sign people up
for their shoe contracts as soon as they can, if they have any
potential, but a lot of it is. I'm sure. I doubt did there. I
think this guy just was. You don't think it was a preemptive
strike false accusations? Personally? There hasn't been
any exposition on on the Nike. I mean, no, no, no, there hasn't
been labor to make shoes.
That's the real problem here. We should go talk about that with
them. Yeah, I'd like overnight. It was. Hey, man, you want me to
wipe off 10 billion off of your clients market cap? What an
idiot. Yeah. And he was supposed to be the front runner for 2020.
She can run for president that CNN can pick them, can't they?
Really good. Really, really good.
Well, CNN scan, you know, they're finally coming to grips
with this problem.
Do you think they're coming to grips with it? I don't see them
coming.
There's been a lot of a lot of meetings. And to me meetings
means coming to grips.
Ah, you mean just about try thing. Really? Do tell is this
an inside source? What do you what are you learning?
floating around? Is is yes. In the trades. Yeah, they're their
reputation
about their ratings. This
is their ratings. You know, the thing is, they've been going
they've been using this trick to get their ratings up, but their
ratings haven't budged against MSNBC, which is the real bad
actor here that nobody wants to talk about.
What everyone on Fox has been spouting is that both CNN and
MSNBC is ratings tanked. I think that focusing mainly on CNN,
tanked 50% After the the bar interpretation of the Mueller
report came out.
How many did you do it? That's bull credited. The radius will
come out that fast they
they took the overnights and they took To 2534 Live
overnights let me start when it came out last Friday.
Yeah, no, they took the difference between Friday or
Thursday and Monday. I think it was a ratings. It's a way of
reading the numbers.
Okay, let's possible. I'm not saying it's not possible. But I
don't see what people are going to change their viewing habits.
It seems to me when this stuff comes out, you want to watch, I
think the ratings would go up, because you want to see how CNN
is going to cover their ass. I joined it I tune in. Well,
honestly,
all I'm seeing right now is all the network's laughing at each
other, putting up little, you know, little over the shoulder
boxes of that host or this host and he's an idiot and she's an
idiot, and they're now just all talk talking about themselves.
But they love that. Yes. Yes.
So we have a couple of things to handle. Let me do the easy stuff
first. How about before
me if you want to just take a little respite here? I have a
couple of things because you did this in the last show. And I
started noticing this has become a big trend. Which is the the
compilation of yes, one thing that you Yeah, these
compilations they have, for example, I have a couple of
short ones that we can play just to get get get into the groove.
I got to accomplish. This is just one show of Rachel Maddow
is the compilation ratio from one single show during this
mania. Russia,

tonight. We will see you again tomorrow.
And that was from one show. Was that a recent show? It was it
was a few months back, I think. But it was a show about Russia.
collusion. Yes. So you'd expect you to say Russia a lot. But But
there's another I have the second one, which is this one.
Which is this is one I don't think I'm pretty sure we haven't
played this one. This is one where they've they've taken a
clip everything that equates the Russia collusion with Watergate.
Oh, yeah. And then 911 and treason.
Russia hacked our election. That was a 911 scale event,
the caliber of a pearl harbor or 911. To agree with that.
I completely agree with that. Was a little bit like, you know,
political and constitutional September 11. There was a Pearl
Harbor scale event
was on a scale of a pearl harbor a 911 is the 911
danger to the sovereignty of the United States. They attack the
core of our very
democracy.
Robby Mook, former Clinton campaign manager said it's like
Watergate parallels to
Watergate here are our earrings. Oh, it's just like with the
Watergate scandal
revelations that have some raising the
specter of Watergate Dan
rather's say this has the potential to be bigger than
Watergate
is bigger than Watergate scandal as big as Watergate,
one Democrat now using the word treason to describe the new
Russia, Russia and revelations that
you serve floated the word
treason.
It seems like there's a lot of evidence that there are members
of the administration who are more concerned about Russia's
goals than our oath that I believe is
actually close to the textbook definition of treason. I mean,
look, well, if that's the definition of treason, some
Senate Democrats want a 911 style commission
independent investigation, similar to what we did after we
were attacked on 911 The House and Senate ought to be doing
this jointly just as we
did after 911 And it's like we had after 911 and I would like
to see a 911 type commission kind of like the 911 committee
911
I hadn't heard that one. That's a good one.
Just these are cropping up all over the place because
because because we can is wise because we can it's out there.
It's there for the makeup
niche because there's so much material out They're Yeah, I
have one last two years, these networks these just to get their
ratings up. Apparently that's what everyone thinks is they
have been harping on this. And so you have is rich. That's was
a one minute 28 second clip of 911 trees and all the rest but
you could put together probably in a good hour.
I have one myself, I won't play the whole thing. But I'll I'll
just I picked up a new one myself this morning.
Does the public understand just how much trouble the President
is in to believe
that the President
isn't compromised requires such a leap of faith?
I think we have all the proof we need of a scandal that's
arguably worse than Watergate.
Do we know if there is still this belief and aspect of
depression is working for the Russians? I can't answer that
the US president possibly working for the Russians.
I mean, it goes on for two more minutes. We've heard enough of
it.
But yeah, it goes on for days, we should take by the way, you
have about three or four of these recent ones. Maybe
we can take a whole week off
together an entire show.
Well, I do have to, like 145 in length clips, but but they're
from Glenn Greenwald. And he did his own version of a takedown of
the media at MSNBC in particular, that I thought was
really good. Yeah, we've always played Glenn Greenwald clips,
we've always liked him on the show. So yeah,
I want to preface this clip with the comment that Greenwald
noticed about almost about maybe six to nine months ago that they
stopped bringing him on these shows. Yes, yeah. That's, that's
what they're getting. By it, I think because he likes him
attention. And so he really started building up a lot of
material to blast these guys. And then another kind of an
element to this was they also stopped putting him on Democracy
Now. Oh, so they fought they brought him back to Democracy
Now. And Mark aims to partner with Matt Taibbi as we're used
to be. made this comment on Twitter says all democracy now
is trying to walk back all their Russia gate crap by bringing
Glenn back exactly what it was.
Exactly. Well, MSNBC is not made that decision yet. And Greenwald
went off. It
was continuously on MSNBC, which let me just say, should have
their top posts on prime time go before the cameras and head hang
their head in shame, and apologize for lying to people
for three straight years exploiting their fears to great
profit. These are people who were on the verge of losing
their jobs. That whole network was about to collapse this whole
scam save them. And not only did they constantly feed people for
three straight years total disinformation, they did it on
purpose talker. And the proof of that is that unlike you, who has
been criticized in a lot of different ways by the left, some
of which I agree with, and we talked about before, the first
time I ever watched your show you had on Adam Schiff, the
leading Democrat to talk about on your set for 12 straight
minutes, collusion so that your audience could hear the other
side of the story. MSNBC did the exact opposite. There was a
whole slew not just me of left wing journalists with very high
journalists or credentials far more than anyone on that network
like Matt Taibbi and Jeremy Scahill, and many others,
including myself who were banned from the network because they
wanted their audience not to know that anybody was
questioning or expressing skepticism about the lies and
the scam they were selling because it was so profitable.
They did it on purpose, it was a total fraud that they
perpetrated on their audience. And to the extent that they
talked about this at all, it was to call us agents of the Russian
Government to defame us as traders and to lie about us
continuously to their audience. And there's still no
accountability. They still won't put us on their airwaves, they
still won't apologize. And they're still lying to their
audience. They don't want their audience to know what they did
to them for three straight years on purpose.
I think he's kind of angry.
But he is a lefty, very left us right, everyone he named are
these lefties a lefty who's right? By the way, this is the
same thing that's going on with climate change. Yes. Now
before before we go there, I want to play and go there yet.
Okay. I want to play the second clip. Because here he takes on a
total no agenda stance, a lefty who's right about the
intelligence agencies and who was being put on the air which
we've I think we've been talking about that since show number
one, it
is completely corrupted journalism. The whole point of
what we were supposed to learn from the debacle of WMD is in
the Iraq War, which by the way, this network that we're on was
one of the leaders of was the fact that we were not supposed
to trust intelligence agencies, when they say things without
evidence. And not only did me CNBC and CNN use those people as
their sources. They hire them as their news analysts. So if you
turn on CNN or MSNBC, it was basically state TV. It was CIA
TV. Three weeks ago, Tucker three weeks ago, John Brennan
was on MSNBC. And he said that he strongly believes that Robert
Mueller is going to indict members of the Trump family,
either before or after March 15. Because he's too noble to use
the Ides of March for having conspired with Russia. They kept
all dissent off the air, they turn themselves only into the
spokespeople of the people that are supposed to be investigating
and scrutinizing which is the intelligence community and the
military officials, who now are their colleagues who now report
the news. You have government officials who spent their whole
careers in the Pentagon and in the CIA, their disinformation
agents, who now work at CNN and MSNBC, shaping what their news
is. And that's why these channels turned into
disinformation campaigns, because those are the people
that they hired the people that are supposed to be serving as
watchdogs over the people who are Neo cons, the people who
live the country into war, through WMDs. Not only did they
have no accountability, they got rewarded by becoming the
stewards of these networks and they lied to millions of people
for three straight years and huge amounts of accountability
as needed.
And what he's doing here is he's taking a page from Matt Taibbi
article if you haven't read it, I'm sure you've seen it, John.
But if you haven't read this yet, Matt Taibbi literally says
this is our generation's weapons of mass destruction. And that's
a different tactic. I like that one a little better than climate
change, although that's underway as we speak that scam but the
weapons of mass destruction was a big name media and press
failure. Massive. Yeah, good call people died. Yeah. So I
don't think they should feel bad about it. The funniest thing,
which is quite Orwellian. Is the the list of pundits that the
White House sent to TV producers. Did you see this? No,
I
did not see this. Ha
they sent a note Hold on. I'll bring it up here. And the note
says its director of communications for the
President. As you know, special counsel Robert Mueller's report
found that no one associated with President Donald J. Trump's
2016 campaign colluded with Russia despite repeated offers
from Russia linked operatives. The special counsel also made no
recommendation on obstruction, which is a decision in itself.
Using the information provided by Muller, the Attorney General
and Deputy Attorney General determined there was no
obstruction. This is all the result of the special counsels
2800 subpoenas 500 search warrants 500 witness interviews
40 FBI agents 19 lawyers $25 million in taxpayer funds and a
partridge in a pear tree. The only way to interpret these
conclusions is a total and complete vindication of
President Trump. The issuance of these definitive findings comes
after two years of democratic Democrat leaders and others
lying to the American people by vigorously and repeatedly
claiming there was evidence of collusion. They made many of
these false claims without evidence on your airwaves, the
list of guests who made outlandish false claims include
but are not limited to. So here's the list. We have a list,
a list immediate list, Blumenthal. And they have little
examples of what what each of these people said Blumenthal,
quote, the evidence is pretty clear. there was collusion
between Trump and the campaign and the Trump campaign and the
Russians. Adam shift. Adam Schiff. I think there's plenty
of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight.
Jerrold Nadler, there was obvious and obviously a lot of
collusion. The question is how high Eric Swalwell. In our
investigation, we saw strong evidence of collusion, DNC
chairman Tom Perez. And over the course of the last year we have
seen I think a mountain of evidence of collusion former CIA
Director John Brennan, I called this behavior this behavior
treasonous, which is to betray one's trust, and to aiding and
abetting the enemy and I stand very much by that statement, and
then they conclude by saying, moving forward, we ask you
employ basic journalistic standards when booking such
guests to appear anywhere in your universe of productions.
You should begin by asking the basic question, does this guest
warrant further appearance in our programming, given the
outrageous and supported claims made in the past question mark,
and minimum if these guests do reappear, you should replay the
prior statements and challenge them. They should have just put
together a package and sent it to them and asked them to do
this no one's gonna do this
of course not but I think it's it's nice that you guys like
Schiff were really kind of douchebags they can't weasel
their way out it. Well, you know what I meant, what I meant was
this and well, I still think there's some evidence and it's
just a shame that it didn't get, you know, it wasn't that obvious
and so we're going to do some more investigation. I mean, that
guy,
I just think it's unique that a A White House or president sends
out a list. You should not have
like a black list. It is a black list, but it doesn't work as a
black list because it doesn't stop anything. If it was a true
black list, it would be more more onerous. Who knows what's
out there? Who knows? Who knows? So there's like something
Kellyanne Conway did. does, it does it has the elements of a
Kellyanne Conway release.
Yeah. Yeah, that sounds really weird. When you think about the
money shot and her release. Whoa, hey, I may be sick, but
I'm not dead. So there's a million clips that yeah, of
course Fox is just hating this to death with everyone who's who
was wrong. And now it kind of see there is a new twist to the
talking point. I think it's now we go from? Well, okay. There
was no collusion. But why is he so nice to Russia?
I'm obviously nice to Russia. She's put more sanctions on them
than anyone here but
that's not seen. No one's in fact, where's the but they don't
report
it because they don't it doesn't fit the narrative as people like
to say
just yesterday was yesterday, the day before yesterday, Trump
was sitting down with grind OHS wife. Yeah. Very odd press
conference. And so in, she had a couple of people with with her
and one of these people was talking to the president saying,
Well, you know, I guess my husband or someone's been
arrested, don't know where he is. And he's listening to it.
And then the the press asked a question about Russia,
we are with Venezuela we
are with after this sorry,
your husband, to people that he represents, which is a big, big
majority of the country. What's happening there should not
happen and be allowed to happen anywhere. So we're with you.
100%. Give my regards. The no workout. It's all gonna work
out. And always does. We're gonna get it to work out. Thank
you very much. It'll be fun. Steve, what are the
complications? Does the Russian amalco Russia has to get out?
Did you see this? Here? He has a very angry look on his face.
Russia's gotta get out. So he's not very nice to Russia. It's
just you never see it. So that's
Russia. thing is this is an interesting situation, because
the people who are siding with Venezuela and Maduro, really
they're siding with the wrong side of Well, I don't make any
say the term wrong side of history. But it seems like this
is not. It's not justified. To countries, according to everyone
who writes in economic hitmen and others, the country is
really a military dictatorship that is run by that the
military. Really, they have the controls. Maduro is kind of just
a frontman. And it's not a it's not been at countries, people
are getting losing weight, great place for weight loss. Because
they can't eat enough food. It's just it's a mess and needs to be
cleared up. And so Russia goes in there for what purpose? To
keep us from getting the oil fields, I guess, maybe because
they didn't get piece of the action. Maybe we should have cut
them in?
Well, this is all on Trump's mind, because from the same
press briefing, the truth always wants to come out. You know,
we're thinking about Venezuela, the country, and the President
thinks differently.
Venezuela was a country with tremendous potential and is
still a country with tremendous potential. But people are
starving, they're being killed. They're being beaten, what's
going there is unfathomable to everybody that sees and
everybody that gets reports, we're getting reports that are
horrible. The potential of Venezuela, if done properly and
with with democracy would be incredible. It was one of the
richest companies certainly one of the truly rich countries of
the world. And now it's one of the poorest countries of the
world. You
look at what each country company and why is he thinking
that happened?
Despite oil, the oil snot coming out?
He's all over the oil. He doesn't give a crap about the
country. He's thinking about the company.
You know, he people like to slam him for various things, but I
don't know when he became an oil guy. And he had oil on the mind
when he put that Exxon guy in charge of the State Department
who would just was no good. Why temp Tillerson Rex Tillerson, he
was just a kind of a bumbler and did course and he blamed Trump.
And but it was the oil had to be on his mind when he put a guy
like that in charge of the State Department thinking maybe the
guy should go out and do. I think he made the mistake that
the public generally makes because I don't think Trump was
ever in the oil business. But I think Trump made the mistake
that the public generally makes, which is, which I have
experienced because I worked at an oil refinery that I was an
air pollution inspector at a different oil refinery. And, and
I know from experience that when you're on one side of the aisle,
it's your job to put the clamp on the oil company. If you're on
the oil, if you're working for the company, you're gonna do the
opposite. You can do the switch. You can switch from being an oil
guy to being a non oil guy being a regulator, let's say, which is
what Tillerson did he because he was oil guy, Big Shot oil guy
now he's gonna be State Department. So he divorced
himself from the oil business. I think Trump was susceptible to
the public's thinking that if you're ever involved with the
oil companies, you're always an oil guy looking out for the
benefit of oil guys, right? That's bullcrap. And that's what
how Tillerson screwed up, because he never went out and
did a bunch of oil deals he was trying to do we went to a State
Department guy supposed to do, and you know, run the State
Department. Right. And, and I think Trump has got it. For some
reason. He really got oil on his mind when he went in. When he
talks about Iraq. He always says we should have taken the oil.
Yeah. And now we're supposed to be taking the oil out of
Venezuela. It's just I don't know what happened. That made
him and nobody's noticed this, by the way. He's gone from a
real estate guy to an oil guy. He has very little about real
estate.
Only when it comes to North Korea.
Yeah, they got no oil.
Exactly. What can I do? Real Estate? Yeah. beachfront
property. Yeah. Well, it's troubling. Because honestly, I'm
a little confused. I'm on one hand, I want to believe the
people who we hear from that. And there's a lot of evidence
that it really is bad in Venezuela. On the other hand,
come on this great Oh, guy. I mean, give me a break. This is
just a failed failed coup at this point. I'm bringing his
wife,
Obama clone.
Right. So I don't know if he's really invested in that. But
when he's talking about the company, Venezuela?
I don't know this is stillborn. So far. They have not our CIA
who's supposed to be orchestrating this has not done
a very good job. Well, they haven't gotten out of the deal.
And I suppose it's just the State Department, which is
possible. And they're boneheads, too, apparently, we don't know.
We don't know who's we don't know what group is behind it.
Because there's too much is been covered up pretty well. There
was used to be the state department of the CIA, it has to
be one of the two. Yeah, it can't be both. Can't be both.
And it has to be one of them.
With Dick Morris, wasn't he? He was an advisor to Clinton,
President Clinton. Did he leave in disgrace? Or did they have a
falling out? Or
he had some sexual thing? Maybe with some? Or he was I don't
know. It's good. You could look it up on Wikipedia. But yeah,
Dick, but he's always around writing books, and he's always
pontificating about campaigns. He's just kind of been. He's,
he's not part of the mainstream anymore. In terms of,
well, he wrote a, he wrote an op ed for, what is it? The western
journal? So yeah, he's not mainstream anymore. And
it would in the olden days, that would have gone to the Wall
Street Journal at times, the
myth of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin
now stands exposed that the greatest political hoax in
American history and it was Hillary Clinton's hoax. And he
goes into the, to the whole background, the dossier. I just
found it surprising that he would write that I don't think
he's getting any invites for any TV appearances from it, but it's
a pretty good piece.
Well, he's another guy who has been marginalized from the, from
the TVs. Do you think
so? It seems like that. Trump is more than hinting that now now
we're gonna go after these people. So this never happens to
any president again.
Yeah, he's hinting but I think your earlier assertion, I think,
one or two shows ago, the clean up the Mapa is a mop up
operation. And I
was thinking about that. A couple of things. If, if Muller
so first of all, Muller may just have bad feelings about his
involvement in 911. You know, he was kept on two extra years
against the law in the Obama administration against the
mandatory no longer than 10 years as FBI director. He was
part of the Patriot Act, and he came in just two weeks before
911. So there was a lot of hustling and covering up that he
had to due and maybe he felt had some remorse. So he came in and
as far as I can see everyone who was a bad actor in this he got
out. Everyone's been extracted, everyone's been retired, fired,
quit gone. You know, there's there's that Professor helpers
not wanting to know if he's on the in, in this universe. I mean
there's a lot of he's alive. Yeah, people have just kind of
disappeared, they've gone away. And when you think about the
sequence of events, where, okay, Hillary did not become president
shit, oh my God, we've got so much to clean up because we had
all these things set up. God knows what else there was.
Then Hillary herself said they were all gonna be staying
hanging
from nooses and then Comey cuz he helped with the mop up by
saying, Oh, it's just you know, as Loretta Lynch says, it's a
matter and we're not going to prosecute. She did bad things,
but nothing to prosecute about. And that was a cover up that was
covering up for her. And then he got fired, and that's when the
shit hit the fan. And that's when Muller had to come in. Good
friends with Comey, you know.
Oh, to finish the mop up, John. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Your your new
assertion is that Comey was doing the mopping up? It was not
doing Yeah, it was not. That situation stopped.
I also think that he the way he mopped up, he messed it up.
Because instead of just mopping stuff up, he came out and
started doing, you know, like announcements and press play.
Yeah, he was he was a follow up. Yeah. So he messed it up. And
that's when when Mueller had to come in. And it's very possible
that this conclusion, just as a quid pro quo to keep everybody
happy, it's very possible this Muller conclusion of no
collusion, made another rhyme was already known before the
midterm elections, but that he kept it going. Because Can you
imagine if it came out just before the elections, there
would have been just bloodletting
then, right, but he couldn't let it go to 2020.
No, absolutely. Not. Now, it seems like some
somewhere back to even playing field see me just kind of
Yeah, kind of. Anyway, big sigh of relief for me. We won't have
to report on this anymore. It's all over. It's done, isn't it?
Yeah, I think it's true. It's true.
That's true is the way it goes.
That's true. But I have I have a thing for it. Where is it?
That's true. I got a lot of people love that. Yeah,
apparently. I'm a little surprised by it. Now me. Well, I
know well, you are John C. Dvorak. But I got stuff like
welcome in ISIS. That's true. Yeah, we could just use it from
time to time.
We welcome in ISIS. Yes. She's really ironic thing because it's
a double entendre double meaning it is ISIS and ISIS. Yes. This
goddess and ISIS this chuck offs in Syria.
Now I see you have a clip. And I'm happy because I don't but I
do have an explanation of this being the darkest day for the
internet. And this pertains to the European Union, passing, at
least in the parliament, article 11 and article 13 of the new
copyright directive.
Yeah, and by the way, I want to mention that this was not on any
made I didn't see this on CBS, ABC, NBC. I only got it from
Democracy Now. Another example where there because there these
other guys are just still covering Moeller, in the Fallout
and the rest of it and some minor other stories. Global
warming was big this week. And so I got this from Democracy
Now. I mean, I'm sure one of the network's talked about it a
little bit, but I never, I never picked it
up in Brussels. The European Parliament's approved a massive
overhaul of copyright laws that critics say will bring
widespread censorship to the internet. One measure would
effectively tax internet sites like Google when they display
snippets of copyrighted material, including news
articles. Another measure will likely prompt sites like YouTube
to install filters that search for and then automatically
delete uploads that are determined to be copyright
violations. ahead of Tuesday's vote. The proposed copyright
rules prompted massive protests with more than 100,000 people
marching in cities across Europe over the weekend. In a statement
open media executive director Laura tribe's said quote,
today's vote is a major blow to the open Internet. This
directive positions the internet as a tool for corporations and
profits, not for people she said.
So this was the it was all over the web's that a lot of
articles, a lot of many, many policy groups and think tanks
weighed in as you can imagine, and this is something we've been
following on the show for quite a while. Article 11 than is the
so called Text tax. I'm going to leave that for what it is for
just a moment. That's that's more about Google News more than
anything, article 13, which did change a little bit in this
final draft or final directive that was approved by the
parliament, which by the way, doesn't mean that it's law,
Parliament's really it just, it's almost like just like all
crafts like
an attaboy, it's like, yes, yes, good one, we'd like that one.
Good one. Since it's a directive, there will be no EU
organization that oversees it. This needs to be implemented by
the member states themselves in their own manner appropriate to
their locale, for as long as that lasts while they still have
some sovereignty left. So this, none of this will really be
implemented before 2021. If you look at the timeline of what
this what has to happen, a lot of people were scared into
submit scared, just frightened that this was somehow going to
ruin the internet, we'll never be able to post memes Fair Use
will go away all of these horrible, horrible things. And
I'm here to tell you that this is nothing but a well
orchestrated EU scam. And it's well done. And I would not have
known it unless the CDU and Germany had played their hand.
And I also follow the money is really what you need to do. And
maybe we should step back for a second and explain how
performing rights organizations operate their organizations in
every country just to name a few you have ASCAP BMI, you have
Gemma in Germany, you have CSAC, which is mainly France, but it's
an overall thing. It's a worldwide organization, you have
Buma stamina, and the Netherlands and I could go on
and on and on. And these organizations have statutory
right to collect money when copyrighted work is used. And
really, they you have to be a member, you have to yes, you
have to be a member to receive money from that. But these are
the people I mean, go ahead. And if there's let's say, there's a
farmers market, and you just go up there with your DJ set, and
you start playing some tunes, and you do that on the Saturday,
maybe not the first Saturday, but the second Saturday, someone
will come up to you and say, Hey, man, do you have a
performance license for this? Do you have a venue license? No,
that's
true. That's true.
That's true. If you have a work like a workshop garage, and you
play the radio, and there's more than five employees, then you
also have to pay royalties.
If you're a liquor store playing music over the over the system.
Yep, that somebody just brought their CD to work and decided to
pipe it in. This
is why this is why you often will hear really crap music.
Because that is stuff that's been performed at a outside of
the royalty system. It's not royalty free, but you can make a
separate deal. But most mostly people want to hear and see the
music that they're interested in popular things or films, etc. So
these rights organizations, they collect all the money and then
through a number of very magical it
the fee is by the way,
the fee, what do you mean the member electro for song? Well,
they collect everything they collect? All I know they
collect, but okay, I'm
a radio station. I just played a song. Well, this, this was what
did what do I owe them,
you already went straight to the punch line. Radio, radio
stations, although they do have to mark down what they played.
It's impossible, obviously for everything to be to well, not
impossible. But over the years, the way it's come down is there
these things called a blanket license, and a radio station,
which sometimes will be the network etc. We will have a
blanket license to play whatever they want from whatever genre
wherever, whenever some cut different deals of restricted to
just a certain type of music, but it's all it's all. Yeah,
there's guidelines of how much you'll pay. But ultimately, it's
a percentage of revenue. That's how it's done. And the CDU
German political party, when this came up, and by the way,
there also seems to be some, some dealings between France and
Germany, the German coalition in the European Parliament, they
really wanted this. And France is very particular about
protecting their artists and every sense of the word. And
Germany didn't really want to get on board. But then
apparently France said, well, we'll vote yes, on your new
pipeline with Russia. The Nord Stream two if you sign up to the
article 13. That's just what I'm hearing. I have no proof of it,
but I wouldn't put it past him. I wouldn't put it past him. So
of course, there's no way you can have filled with it. They
can't even filter they can't even get the New Zealand video
off. They're off their servers. So there's no way you can filter
people uploading stuff to check and see if it has a Content ID.
However, the CDU proposed and this is what's going And to
happen, this is how they'll implement it. So where Germany
goes, so go, we all blanket license. And that means that
Google, Facebook, any platform that makes money that that
monitor, that will be the beginning, I get monetized as
we'll have to see where you're headed a blanket license. And
every one will have a content, content ID. If you're a member
of the organization, and then somehow magically, you'll get
something out of the back end. But we look at the music
industry look at royalties lawsuit, and see how many
artists from the smallest to the largest are always suing the
rights organizations, the labels, etc, because it's a
horrible rotten business, and people steal your money. And
just like the EU, is grabbing money from Google, I'm not
saying it's that they're not right to do it for anti
competitive practices, whatever they can, they will get billions
and billions of dollars. And it goes right into the rights
organizations. And that's who was out there it was John Michel
Jarre
kind of de emphasizing the actual punchline to this, which
is that they're going to have a blanket license, it has to be
based on revenue. And who better exactly after Google, Google and
Facebook,
those are the guys, I'll take 1% of their revenue. I'll take 1%
I'll take 1%. So that's what it's about. It's just soaking
those. And by the way, I'm all for it. Screw those guests,
soaking them, they're soaking him. And it's not it's notice,
you don't read about it here because we have something called
the section, section 230. Can't remember now there's so many
sections, which states. If you if someone uploads any any kind
of work that is uploaded to a platform, as long as they're
treated like a library, that's section 230. I think it is the
Communications Decency Act and my right to either 230 or 205, I
can't remember right now, I'm fuzzy. And in that it says the
only thing these platforms cannot be held liable for any
kind of human rights violation, copyright violation or
otherwise. However, if they receive a takedown notice, they
have to use expediency to take down the violation. And that's
what we see here in the States. And that's kind of been working.
Although, you know, I think this is a good model for the rights
organizations in the US, they would love to have this, that
would just love to have it. So that's not being discussed very
much for obvious reason. So it's not going to ruin the internet.
You won't be you know, there won't be filters that you can't
upload. And by the way, you don't it's not the like Amy
said, it's not the open Internet. Facebook and Google
are not the open Internet. They're the closed walls. The
Open Internet is this show sitting on a server in Canada.
You get it straight to your whatever you want just direct
connection. We don't go through Facebook or Google or Twitter.
We don't need any of that. That's the open Internet.
Although I will say if if there's a way we can get in on
this action, get a piece of that blanket license revenue I'm all
for
but that's not gonna have downforce.
So that's the global, the global issue right now. And you know,
and I'd like John Michel Jarre. He's head of CC He's the
president of CSAC. And he was out there and Cyndi Lauper
birds, you know, is I think she's on behalf of either ASCAP
or BMI. You know, and I understand that there's they've
been ripped off for 20 years by these companies. Now the real
problem I think, is the these these PR O's the performing
rights organizations, they're the ones that are actually not
you know, they got nice buildings. Let's put it that
way. They got they throw good parties, the Grammys, you know,
this like, that's all ASCAP BMI, actually more BMI than anything.
And you know, the other thing is, is that, unlike in the 20s,
and 30s, actually, there's some interesting things that took
place in the music industry. The only people that get to ASCAP
money are the writers.
Well, yeah, writer and composer, and that's what I meant. Yes. So
that separate deal for the performers separate deal for the
producer. But producers can get India's producer to deal with
Roger.
Yeah, it's rare. Roger Megwin tells me that the birds songs
don't get any money but he gets tons because he was the writer
of a lot of Yeah, of course. Yeah. And so you get you get
that money he gets in he never will tell me to check he gets he
gets a monthly check from ASCAP and,
well, this is also his his main issue was a lot of his songs are
from before 1974 which has a whole different issue
than his now that's that's a whole day trying to resolve
that. Well, though they're
resolving it Sirius XM resolved it And if you look at I have a
Sirius XM for streaming. And every month at the on the bill,
it says, Oh, here's your extra fight, you know, I think it's
$1.75. Or maybe it's $2 for pre 1970 for copyright, I have to
pay for making me pay for it
if anybody gets any money, but the Roger winning is a very
interesting system. And when I was working in public radio at
this, my talk shows we had a free license for everything out
there, apparently all public radio, because there's no
guests, they can't nick them for anything, because it's a percent
of royal has
been another it's a big thing of contention with the rights
organizations. They hate that.
They certainly do.
They hate that. Yeah.
So you get to use all the stuff you want, anytime you want, for
whatever purpose college stations would qualify in that
area, too. And meanwhile, as we've discussed before, do
online guys We're an online radio station can't take
advantage of it can't
get a license, we can't get a license can't get a license, no.
Well, that you can for streaming under the button. Yeah, then you
have to they don't take into account Adam and John sitting
down, shooting the shit playing some songs. That's not possible,
because you have to deliver a log file because I think the
only thing people are interested in his playlists stations that
have playlist of songs now you can't do freeform. I've been
looking into a couple of things that that do allow you to do
certain things. But also if you play a mash ups are you can't do
that. So the real future of the music business is being hampered
by these very organizations. And ultimately, you could you could
work out a very technical solution for tracking the usage
blockchain whatever I'll just say blockchain everyone will
believe me
block blockchain that's the solution block blockchain
put me in the European Parliament tell
you blockchain combined with AI.
Oh, baby. Yeah, that's right. Blockchain AI was a machine
learning thrown in for good measure. Yeah. So no worries
people. That's
your lecture ladies and gents,
that's it for today. And then we have a little standing in this
area.
So will you Lord me wouldn't be too worried. Well, we can go on
from there to the couple of other issues that came up unless
you want to
know how many times have you told me you're going to do
something about the chair?
Oh, yeah. I keep getting so many notes saying No, don't touch
that. Yeah, no,
it's become one of those now.
I'm touching the chair. But when it happens, you'll never know.
It'll just all of a sudden be dead silent.
Just warning you. I think it's time for
like Oh, I do have to make an announcement the guy who does a
MailChimp is back on the job. Oh, and the nonsense about
MailChimp being dead it Mail Chimp, chimp MailChimp not mail,
chimp squirrel mail. The guy who does squirrel mails back on the
job. And all the bullcrap that you said on the air is just what
it is bullcrap.
I didn't. I was only reading from, from the reports that PHP
needs to get rid of squirrel mail.
I specifically asked the squirrel mail guy, the guy from
squirrel mail. The guy who invented it and again, he says,
yeah, well yeah, it hasn't there hasn't been anything going on
because I haven't done anything in a couple of years. And I'm
the only one who works on it so as we speak, and I have an
account with him and I have squirrel mail and he I've looked
into some of the stuff he's doing the new stuff. And you
know, I don't see anything wrong with the old squirrel mail
personally. He's got a few new things by always revert back to
the to the old squirrel mail anyway. But he's is working on
it. And he's good. Just last weekend, he says all squirrel
mail users. Be careful because this weekend I'm going to be
working on squirrel mail. Sorry, so it's not dead. Okay, okay.
Well, I'm
happy for you.
Thank you. No, it's
not why. Listen, I'm very happy that you use your squirrel mail.
Did you let me let's do a little test. Did you receive my email
about Morris Clayton? Clayton Morris, sorry.
I will if I was on my squirrel mail. I could tell you
I sent it to you two days ago. See? Squirrel mail is not that
great.
No, it's Linus just said, Paul, you just got met it got a gig
gig gig gig gig. Let's see what it says. What about Morris?
Clayton Clayton Morris?
Okay, well,
this is Natalie Morris his husband. Yeah, he's gotten into
real estate. Well, there's
a big New York Times Expo say about how he's about to be
driven out of real estate by a lot of angry people. They were
selling homes and that no word didn't exist and I'm
paraphrasing but it's a pretty long report.
Mail. Yeah, I just thought it was kind of squirrel mail search
feature. Oh, and it works eschatology what separates us
from UK clip request newsletter attached. And I was listening. I
don't see anything here.
I guess it never went through. I'm sorry. I'll send it to you.
It's for later it's not it's just it's more insider thing.
Like an after show thing about
him. You know, I watched him I knew certainly was really good
broadcaster.
Yeah, he never should have given that up.
He looks good on the air. He's got the right style. He's got
very modern style, he could easily move into the the NBC
mainstream and become like, you know, big shot making millions
by the way those guys make 10 to $15 million a year easily. That
anchors he could gone in that direction. And he and he's a
natural at it. I thought he was he's just a he's just he looks
feels and sounds like a broadcaster.
Yeah. Well, he I think they did about $5 million in this Morris
Invest thing and it's kind of kind of gone south on them.
Several 100 People want their money back and it's didn't turn
out well. And the reason why we bring it up is because Natalie
Morris was a Jhansi Dvorak discovery. Who we both honed we
honed her she had never been on on camera ever before and we
turned her into something pretty good for a while there
but she could have been a hotshot too but you know I don't
think it was I don't know she was really a writer that looks
good on camera she's got that multi CultI looked at everybody
wants nowadays that's worth a lot of money yeah yeah sounds on
screen yes talent yes because a lot of money he's got a dino is
she Italian? Is she Greek? You don't know. Said Paris the
perfect look and worth a lot of money and she never pursued it
with with the kind of enthusiasm she could have. You know, so
again,
I don't think she really wanted to work.
She didn't want to work.
Well with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you the man who put the sea in squirrel mail
John
Korean and warships Can you see boots on the ground feet in the
air so it's no wonder name isn't nice out there.
In the morning to all the trolls in our troll room. My echo box.
Okay, you got it. You want to do it over you want to? Trolls Good
to see you and no agenda stream.com. And that's where you
can always hop in and throw out some one liners let us know when
we're messing it up when we're doing something wrong, correct
us or just troll. That's what it's for. I'd also like to say
in the morning to our artists before Episode 1123. The title
of that was canceled culture. And Adam let's see. Has he ever
had artwork chosen? I have a feeling he has Adam at sea
to click on his
thing. It was a fun piece of art. It was the the methadone
ice cream ice cream truck
out here. Let me stop. So we're at the dinner table. Yes. And
before we talked about this show, the NIC mentions canceled
culture but he doesn't use canceled culture. But he was
talking about how these people at school are talking about how
people get canceled. He went on and on about it. And without
even knowing. I said we just did a show on it.
And he went Oh, that's too bad. I gotta listen to it.
Don't do that. So But meanwhile, Jay who's the artist in the
family? Yes. Anyone one she holds up to her phone which has
got the show on it with the art. She says this is the greatest
art you've ever done. Really? She just thought that was a
fantastic piece of art.
Well, hopefully you didn't take credit for it. You said it was
Adam at sea and not John see.
I said I did it. Yeah,
exactly. With with your with. GIMP fills out with gimp and
came through that together with GIMP. Yeah, so and we'd liked it
though. Thank you very much Adam and see there were a lot of
interesting pieces and it's always fun for us certainly and
moreover, for this very reason people look at it for as long as
we're still on the platforms. People look at their podcasts
thing and they say with this as a justing art and that entice
that signals there's a new episode signals maybe what's
going on in it. It works it's a very important part of the value
for value network and we appreciate what all our artists
do for less than 23 Thank you adamancy and thank you all
artists you can check out all the work at no agenda art
generator.com
Yeah, it's very It's functional in more ways than when and where
there's nothing how many shows do you think do that? Zero show
is known pieces as a couple
art as a couple. From time to time someone will say hey, this
these guys got a great show. They also changed their art
okay, but I think the whole system of
data to change your art to the high end our debt we have it's
that's incredible. Artists are just out there. We have over
13,000 pieces of art in the database. So catch up kids.
It's actually
ridiculous. Aaron Christiansen isn't ridiculous though. He came
up with $362.69 and that's begins are associated your
executive producer list in the morning, gents. I hope this gets
in on time. So I can be knighted on the Fibonacci episode. It
didn't make it no close. Close off by one. This is my third
donation now in the amount of three 3.34 Euro. Three, three
3.34 euros, which would bring me up to 1000 euros. And the August
title of Euro night. Oh, I don't think we have a dead Euro night
thing up. But you guys went with it. So here we are. I just
wanted to say that unlike some doubters, who send notes, I
always agree with everything you guys say. That's funny, that is
good. What he's referring to is the notes that say, you know, I
don't agree with everything you say? Of course who does but this
guy does. Especially when you're shilling for both Trump and AOC
at the same time, right? Maybe I'll take sexuality, it's in
your nature. Look at debt juice, and relationship karma. Can you
believe a charmer like me is single?
It's hard to believe Arun from Deutschland. Well, thank you
very much. And you are the top executive producer today. It's
appreciated. Tell me about
this sexuality.
It's in your DNA.
Oh my gosh. Can you see that juice? Carmine got it.
That's actually a very funny. Yeah. This is a one to one to
one complicated one to Juliana Lee mean one Boonsboro. Maryland
has came up with $360 This isn't my first donation. I used to
have a subscription that got canceled by Pay Pal. Pastors a
glitch. Thanks for keeping me sane in the sea of madness we're
living in my invisible no agenda hat helps me get through the day
at work where I'm surrounded by dementia be crazy brother.
They're nice people but their amygdala is have taken over and
I don't see any hope for them. I've become very good at nodding
in silence when they repeat memes and when they say
something stupid I just say that's interesting. But by
interesting I mean stupid it's really good tip for all Yeah,
that's interesting. Thanks again for all you do. I love you both
can I please here if you're white, you're a racist at the
end of the show. It's my favorite. Oh,
it's not that long. We can play it now.
Racist in a pig in Spanish to round up and just watch it

another fantastic parody from Secret Agent Paul. And thank you
very much Juliana Lee, for your contribution to the show.
So sir Roy Pierce comes in with $334 and flat from St. Pierce. I
think is a nice coincidence. St. Pierce, Florida he sent a very

podcast in the universe from a member of the Generation X. I
started listening about 15 months ago and I've been
enriched ever since. As a mergers and acquisitions
professional for over 20 years. I can attest that you are on
point most of the time when major corporate news events lead
you to consider the merger takeover angle. In fact, I've
worked at a big four firm in London 2005 and 2008. And one of
the services we offered the board of directors of large
corporation clients was called the bitter defense which is
basically a deep dive into any and all skeletons in the
company's closet including lawsuits. corruption allegations
senior management's shady background, such as hostile
devil courses online videos, DUIs, etc. That could cut to any
of these can cause a drop in price, thus making the company
vulnerable to a potential hostile takeover. We would alert
the board of these matters so they could mitigate slash
prevent any fallout Keep up the good work homies please playing
the Obama Mexican No no, no. Hey, sounds at me.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, my house Oh, no, no, no, no, no No,

the hook man.
I always do and sometimes I forget to do it's always the
same people. It's you know, it's a it's a machine asking. There's
only three things I get I get a credit card company telling me I
can get zero prevents percent interest, which is bull. There's
the ones that come in occasionally that are the free
cruise I get a free cruise.
Oh, that's a good one. That's where you get three options and
you can get the cruise for $1.
Something like that? Yeah, yeah, yes. One dollars. How
could that be wrong? Um, it sounds like a perfect deal.
And what was one other words a third when they keep coming in
and one of them cracks me up? Because it's the it's Oh, yeah.
If you're Blue Cross Blue Shield or blue, so and so you can you
know, and they'll be pressed for to be taken off of our call
list. You press for an hour later, the exact same call comes
in? Oh, yes, people are just criminals. Why do they why can't
we get these people arrested?
Well, just Liz Warren is running for president. I don't know why.
But the thing that the one that irks me the most is the Hello
business owner who you are no longer property listed in Google
search index. And these only gotten that once or twice ever
and these are Google related companies. And I've and you know
there's a whole process to be taken off this Google affiliate
whatever bull crap it doesn't work. It just just makes more
calls just get more calls. It's very very annoying.
Yeah, they gotta put a stop to it.
All right. Is that it? Oh, that's it that those are execs

we have was it who was putting it on his resume sir Hank
Scorpio the electric grid. So let's see how long it takes
before he gets before he gets some work you got to check in
with us ranking let us know but also it's just a way to proudly
display and display the fact that you are a part of the value
for value network that keeps the show going 11 years strong now
over 1100 episodes and will be
a lot of people have it on their Twitter
yep the Twitter as your as your as your Twitter screen name and
of course the always productive LinkedIn. It seems to work for
jobs. But it does display that you are a a functional code.
You're a functional cog in the wheel of the value for value
network and it's a very special thing that we've set up together
and is still working I could not be happier and will be thanking
more people $50 and above in our second segment and we will have
another show on Sunday for that remember us at
boruch.org/and A so you can tell
everybody that is not the darkest day on the internet go
out there and propagate it
our formula is this we go out we get people in the mouth that
strong
Yeah, I'm loving that combo. Loving that combo All right.
Yes. All right. Shall we do small let for a second because I
there's a lot of stuff. I don't
have any small no idea. I got a ton of stuff to you. Yeah, I got
some old stuff. I got some old stuff. It was a pretty funny
situation, but turns out to be some sort of their guy did now I
hear the FBI is going to investigate that the state
attorney
for those who haven't heard about it. Actually, here's Brian
Stelter from CNN right after the charges were dropped. emergency
hearing, emergency court appearance. That's a new one to
me. If you're charged is going to be dropped. It's like
emergency everybody. All media come to me come to me. I think
Stelter from CNN summed it up and in the way it was meant to
be what it was supposed to hack out to be
you remember right after smell, let's say he was the victim of a
hate crime in Chicago that night. For the Fox network, the
studio, the Empire, cast and crew all had his back support
him very strongly. That continued as they became a
mystery about what happened and whether he had made this up. The
network continued to support him, but started to pull back a
little bit in those public statements. Right now, there's
no new comment from Fox. But this is a key part of the story
now because I do think he wants to get back to work. That's what
a friend of small that's just said to me. He wants to act he
wants to get back to work. He had actually been taken off two
of the episodes of empire his future as a Hollywood actor has
been in limbo for the past few weeks. So his lawyers have been
trying to get to this point, so that he can return to work. And
so far, no comment from the network. But I do think we will
see small that get back to work. Because the the narratives once
again changed from victim, you know, to villain back to victim
it's been very confusing. Brian was saying, people don't know
what to believe. And we may never really know what happened
on the street that night in Chicago, but for his fans for
his friends, this is a triumphant moment that he can
now get back to what he wants to do, which is work.
Well you should go shit can go flagellate yourself. That's not
the word. Ghost go beat yourself up. Stelter. That's a horrible,
horrible explanation of what's happening. That's really, really
lame. very lame. Let's go back to the to what happened. All of
a sudden, all media just stopped dead in their tracks. Oh, my
gosh, there's something happening, emergency hearing,
which is I'd never heard of this emergency hearing. And there it
is. All charges dropped. However, some small caveats.
There's no charges, but he still has to forfeit his $10,000 Bond
and Community Service, which he apparently already did before he
committed anything any of the 16 felonies, which are state
felonies? Level for felonies. We'll get into that in a moment.
And which kind of insinuates that the charges were dropped.
But was he guilty? Was he not guilty? Well, small that came
out right after the charges were dropped. And here's what he
said,
everybody. I just made a couple notes. First of all, I want to
thank my family, our friends, incredible people of Chicago,
and all over the country in the world who have prayed for me who
have supported me for showing me so much love. No one will ever
know how much that has meant to me. And I will forever be
grateful. I want you to know that not for a moment. Was it in
vain. I've been truthful and consistent on every single level
since day one, I would not be my mother's son, if I was capable
of one drop of what I've been accused of,
by the way, for I don't know about you, John, but for a guy.
And I think certainly for black men in America, when you say
he's basically swearing on his mother's life. You gotta be
really careful with that, that, you know, when Oh, if I would
not be my mother's son, if a drop of this were true. That's
there's some kind of guy code that that really irks me, like,
we know he's lying. And I'll get to that in a moment. But he's
sitting here just lying and saying, oh, like my mom, and my
mom, that's very good. Since you don't do that. That's pussy
stuff, man. That's no good.
I would not be my mother's son, if I was capable of one drop of
what I've been accused of. This has been an incredibly difficult
time, honestly, one of the worst of my entire life. But I'm a man
of faith. And I'm a man that has knowledge of my history. And I
would not bring my family, our lives or the movement through a
fire like this, I just wouldn't. So I want to thank my legal
counsel from the bottom of my heart. And I would also like to
thank the State of Illinois for attempting to do what's right.
Now, I'd like nothing more than to just get back to work and
move on with my life. But make no mistakes, I will always
continue to fight for the justice, equality and betterment
of marginalized people everywhere. So again, thank you
for all the support. Thank you for faith and thank you to God
bless you all. Thank you very much.
All right. Be very careful, son. This Thank you, God and all this
stuff. Thank you for faith and my mom and when you're lying
like that, that that boomerang could come back pretty hard. So
there were a couple of responses to this. First of all, you heard
Brian Stelter like, oh, well, hopefully he can just get back
to work. We'll never know what happened. Yeah, that's how it
will read in five years, when Jesse Smollett comes back, and
all we'll remember is, well, all the charges were dropped. We
won't really remember what happened. So let's document it
now. The superintendent of the Chicago Chicago police, who was
very vocal about this hoax that Smollett perpetrated who as a as
an as an African American man was very angry about the noose
bid and just pulling a racial hate crime hoax, that he had a
response
when I came on this job. I've been a cop now for about 31
years. And I came on this job I came on with my honor, my
integrity and my reputation. If someone accused me of doing
anything that was circumvent that, and I would want my day in
court to clear my name. I've heard that they wanted their day
in court with TV cameras so America could know the truth.
They know they chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal
to circumvent the judicial system. My job as a police
officer is to investigate an incident, gather evidence
gathered of facts and present them to the state's attorney.
That's what we did. I stand behind the detective's
investigation. Let Mary Manuel comment further.
And the police this file, by the way, was never closed or locked
or CO just his arrest record. But the file is open and
available. It's in the show notes. You can see all the
evidence is there that this was a hoax, that how it was
perpetrated. It's pretty extensive. So right after the
police chief, the Mayor Rahm Emanuel, he steps up and he says
something important here.
Second is what I would call the ethical costs. And the ethical
costs is you have as a person who was in the House of
Representatives when he tried to pass the shepherd legislation
that dealt with hate crimes, putting them on the books that
President Obama then signed into law, and then use those very
laws. And the principles and values behind the Matthew
Shepard, hate crimes legislation to self promote your career. Is
violence, a cost that comes to all the individuals, gay men and
women who will come forward in one day and say they were a
victim of a hate crime who now will be doubted. Now, this cast
the shadow, whether they're telling the truth, and he did
this, all in the name of self promotion. And he used the laws
of the hate crime legislation that all of us collectively over
years and put on the books to stand up to be the values that
embody what we believe that this is a whitewash of justice,
a whitewash of justice, very interesting choice of words,
particularly when it comes to a race crime. But Emanuel makes a
good point. He says this was not any crime that was hoax. It was
a hate crime and very specific kind of crime, which is
discussed quite often. Now. The is the attorney for the State
Kim Fox, is she the attorney? What do you call her? I
think she's a state Attorney, state attorney.
She had recused herself because there's a lot of involvement.
There's a lot of contact between Tina Chen, T. C. H. E. N. She
was Chief of Staff for the first lady, but she was also a special
assistant to President Obama. And there were text messages
back and forth between Kim Foxx, the state's attorney and Tina
Chen. And there was, hey, you know, can you do something? Can
we move this over to the feds, that'll be better. They're
really trying to figure out a way to get small let off the
hook. And if you see all the different links between
everybody interestingly, Rahm Emanuel's wife is best friends
with Tina Chen, just to make it even more complicated. You have
all these different connections, and it seemed very obvious, so
I should mention some because of that connection there and being
the wife, she's going to tell Ron, what's going on. That would
that I think, is part of his anger.
Yes, yes. That's his wife, his wife hung him out to dry and the
cops. And I tell you, it's not a good idea. I don't know much.
But you don't mess with Chicago PD. It's just you know, it's not
a good idea. However, what is really going on what happened
here? There was a call was put in by someone and you have all
the players there. So you can see obviously, this guy needed
to be bailed out. Now, was it a part of something else? Is it a
coincidence that his lawyer is gara ghost, the same guy who was
implicated as being a part of the Abinadi scam just the day
before? I don't know if that's related, but they got Kimberly
Fox on on tape explaining what happened. And she's very
interesting state's attorney. If you watch her answering these
questions about 3013 minute interview only got to two clips
from her. Because the that the essence is in it. It looks like
she wants to cry the whole time. And she she has this look of
acknowledging she'll say yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's like no
other states have to state attorneys district attorneys
Attorney General's they have this, you know, to get him to to
stoic like the buck stops here kind of thing and she's like a
millennial almost. I don't know how old she is. 36 Actually,
she's like a millennial. And she acts explains in the following
manner, there is an alternative prosecutor prosecutorial route
in the state of Illinois, an alternative which is meant for
people who have committed a crime. It's kind of like Los
Angeles or San Francisco, if it's under a certain threshold,
we can let you off. You don't have to go to jail. You don't
have to admit any guilt, you're not exonerated, and you'll lose
your bond. It's it has a particular name, and it's not
new, and he or she is explaining it.
Certainly, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office has
what we call her alternative prosecutions unit where we look
at how can we handle cases outside of the criminal justice
system, ways in which we can do what we call pre trial
diversion. Over the course of the last two years, we've had
5700 People go through our pre Trial Diversion process, people
who have nonviolent offenses, and who have no violence in
their background. And so I think when people see this one
particular case, it feels like an outlier. Where in fact, is
consistent with how we treat people charged with similar
offenses with the same background. And so, you know,
what I would tell people is, is that, you know, we have, you
know, traditional prosecution models, and we also have
alternative prosecution models. And based on the facts and the
evidence, in this case, this was the appropriate model that we
use.
So this was not a factor of celebrity, or privilege, which
is, is what people are screaming right now. Was there any sort
of, and I mean, obviously, obvious, but just to speak to
all of the words that are that are out there right now. I mean,
celebrity and privilege, was there any role that played
in this situation, Mr. Smollett was afforded the same
opportunity that anyone in Cook County who had a non violent
offense and the required background would be able to get,
we believe, you know, that people who have you know, the
celebrity of Mr. Smollett, don't make up the vast majority of the
people who come through our justice system. The men and the
women who qualify for this program are generally people who
have little means the fact that 5700 People have come through
our diversion alternative prosecution programs, speaks to
the fact that it's available for everyone. The reality is,
though, that most people don't know who they are. And so you
don't hear their stories. But this is not in any way different
than we've treated others who've been charged with similar facts
and with the same background.
So alternative prosecution, very interesting.
It's very interesting, and why don't they tell what it call it?
What it is alternative non prosecution? Let me go on? Well,
so
here's what I don't understand. And this is what I think Rahm
Emanuel, what he said is important and what the
interviewer did not ask. This is not just some fly by night,
felony, she says the lowest is number four, the fourth felony
for class four, it's not a big deal, but it involved a hate
crime. You cannot tell me that the alternative prosecution
system allows for people who are involved in a hate crime. The
hate crime is put on the books specifically to put heavier
punishment on any type of crime. If you if you beat someone up,
and you pour bleach on him, and you call them with the N word
and the F word. That's a crime, but it's a specific type you get
extra punishment for being a hate crime. So to let him off
for hoaxing, a hate crime is total bullshit. But it is a let
him off. He is not innocent. And she does explain that in her own
terms.
This is looking at what remedies were available under the
statute. And as far as accountability is concerned, the
statute allows for people to get this type of outcome, even
without an admission of guilt. But the accountability comes,
Mr. Smollett has to forfeit $10,000 In order for him to be
able to be in this position. And so while he has chosen to use
this as an opportunity to maintain his innocence, I would
reassure the people of Cook County, that he would not be in
the position that he is in right now, without the assurance that
that $10,000 will be forfeited in the community service that he
has done. And for the others who participate in this program, who
may not have admitted guilt, but also met their conditions of
diversion. This is that is allowable under the statute.
There you go. It's allowable under the statute, so no
problem. You don't have to admit guilt You can just go on
television and say I'm innocent, which he did. You can swear on
your mom's life. But it's pretty clear that he did it.
Well, you should also mention that he makes $100,000 per
episode on his TV show, and it wasn't enough. So the $10,000 is
minor. Yeah. And what is this community service that he
already did? Do? Does anyone ever tell us what specifically
he yes on? Yes, he
worked 18 hours for Jesse Jackson's rainbow. Something
rainbow Rainbow Coalition coalition. Yeah. But he already
did community service. Yeah, he had already done. So let's put
to rest once and for all a couple things. White privilege.
Bullshit. This is money privilege is how it works in
America. We've always had to America's Don't fool yourself.
Don't kid yourself. The guy's got money. He's connected. He's
connected to everybody. He's in pictures with everybody. They
let him go. What he did wrong. Is he I think that his crisis
team. I don't know it wasn't Hill and Knowlton because
they're smarter than this. They're the ones that called the
off emergency hearing. Emergency press. Oh, we got to talk about
it. So he could stand there and say, I'm not guilty, and then
have all charges dropped. This is the guy who needs to be
canceled. The Fox needs to cancel the whole show. People
need to be outraged. Where's all the millennials cancel, cancel,
cancel, get rid of him. They're too chickenshit. To do it.
Actually, even Kamala Harris, big friends with Jesse Smollett.
Big buddy. Does she knows Oh, my God, oh, former
prosecutor you understand the law? What do you think about
what happened to Jesse Smollett in Chicago today?
To be perfectly honest with you, Wolf, I'm
completely confused. That's how you start a lie. To be perfectly
honest. I'm totally confused. Oh, you don't seem to be
confused about any other questions you get
in Chicago today? To be perfectly honest with you. Well,
if I'm completely confused, I don't understand. I don't know.
I don't know the underlying evidence. I haven't. You know,
there's a sealed document, obviously. I know, I'm at a
loss. I think we're gonna have to leave it up to the judgment
of the prosecutor. I think we should leave it up to the
judgment of the police chief to in the mayor, of course, to give
us some better sense of what's going on.
I don't know what she's gonna double down know what you want
to say some?
Yeah. Yeah. Well, she has got one of those laughing tells.
Yes. She started off with where she before she answered the
original question. She laughed. Yep, she did. Well, hold on a
second. It's not funny. So why is she laughing? Tell is to
tell. But now she's going now what had Rahm Emanuel say about
the hate crime.
He said it was the longest that it was it took forever to
establish this entire legal precedent and to introduce what
Smolensk did is demeaning is making it impossible for anybody
else to ever be believed again. And he said
it was horrible that he had done this under the hate crime
statute that he had taken something about the laws were on
the books from his buddy, President Obama for hate crime.
Now let's see what Kamala Harris her takeaway from it was.
If you're confused, and you heard Mayor Rahm Emanuel
confused fugi How can this VJ this 54 year old VJ figure it
out yet the woman running for president can't I'm confused
as well. And the Cook County prosecutor, he says didn't even
inform him or the police commissioner that they were to
drop these charges. But
I think there's a point that the mayor may that is I would like
to emphasize because I'm seeing it around the country. And it is
a very real issue, which is the seriousness of hate crime. And
over the last few years, we've seen a growth of hate crime be
in terms of race, it'd be religion, anti semitic
instead of understanding or saying hey, you know, this was
really bad. Now she's taking his words, the mayor's words and
saying, Yeah, hate crime is horrible. We have to stop it.
Just like just just these innocent
crime Islamophobic crime, crimes against that are born out of
homophobia and transphobia. We have seen an increase around our
country and frankly, around the world. And we cannot play games
with it. We have to take it very seriously because it obviously
can result in a lethal consequences if we don't take it
seriously.
All right. Well, she she could never be president in my book.
Horrible, horrible, horrible liars and the lack of any kind
of accountability from the any media. No, that just stories
dropped. It's done in five years. He can hear me maybe in
trouble. He may not even be he might get an NAACP award for an
ebony award. Anything can happen, but this is really
messed up. This guy is lower than whale poop.
Jeez, how do you feel? How do you feel?
Oh, it's really infuriating. And apparently well when The we see
people, excuse me with elitist privilege, get a better shake
all the time. But they, you know, to be able to stand there
and say I'm not guilty. On my mom's life, paraphrasing, I'm
not guilty. And the Lord I think the Lord, my friends, if one
drop of me is what's claimed that wouldn't be my mother's
son. Let lightning strike you down just just as well. Or at
least the show someone has to pay. By the way, Tina Chen. This
is very interesting. So again, Tina Chen is the former chief of
staff for First Lady Michelle Obama, also special assistant
before that to President Barack Obama. She has been hired to do
the review of workplace culture at the SPLC. Could we make it
any nuttier as well, so if so, these are the people you need to
know if you commit a race crime, a hate crime, any kind of crime
just call Tina Chen. She'll fix it up for
you. She's a fixer.
She's a big time fixer.
No. Do it. She's Yes. Well, this is all revealed of course in the
Chicago Sun Times in the same detail that you had it and it's
a scandal locally in Chicago right now.
Oh, yes, the cops are pissed man.
And the cops are irked because they put a lot of work into an
addict first had to put double duty first they had to
investigate the original fake hoax which was a lot of time
spent because it's a celebrity and then when they find out
that's bull crap and they had to investigate all that and get
these two guys these two buddies that fake beat him up. And that
took a lot of time and effort and they put all this time and
effort into this thing it was a whole bull ground and they just
pulled the rug out from under it might be mad too if I was a
Chicago cop will also
look at the cops you know all the guys that have the guys on
stage are black, African American black guys, they're not
black and brown with African American and they take this
victim of this case very personally. That's why they put
so much effort into it. Like holy crap they're doing this to
a brother This is no good. That's that's the that's what's
really egregious here. We'll see. We'll see how Jesse
Smollett you better move out of Chicago as my as my
recommendation. Tina is from Chicago isn't that doesn't go
over well. Those guys don't mess around. Yeah.
It was the Boston booth on your car
Yes. Anyway, smaller backslash done. Okay, good.
Okay. Do you want to discuss collusion law a side note. I
just want to play this clip get it out of the way and I want to
play this as the migrant crisis clip and I want to play it
because have we just been listening to the to the to all
the Democrats that have been you know, against the wall and
against all this there's no
crisis there's no credit manufactured crisis. There's no
emergency there's nothing no crisis up just so Trump gets a
whole wall. So hoax.
Davin, we've been Is this not the been the Litany completely?
Okay, well, let's play this clip.
Ahead of US Customs and Border Patrol is warning that a surge
of migrants has pushed the agency to its breaking point.
Kevin McAleenan confirmed today that 750 agents are being
reassigned in order to deal with the influx. He said he is hoping
to prevent new tragedies.
So with these numbers with the types of illnesses we're seeing
at the border, I fear that it's just a matter of time. Continued
inaction by Congress is going to continue to put people at risk.
The vulnerable migrants on the journey in Mexico as they cross
our border increasingly hot weather and our own personnel
agency says that it detained 3700 migrants on Monday alone.
That is the highest one day total in a decade. Yeah, the
southern border that's talking about 100,000 In the month of
April.
So I thought there was no nothing going on down there.
Hey,
it's just the big number. It's not an emergency. what's your
what's your number? This number 100,000 on emergencies, it's
normally in less than a million. A million a year. Yeah, I know.
I know. It seems. Yeah. I mean, you'd think at a certain point,
the word would go out. Like hey, you know the El gringo president
a he's kind of building that wall and he's not going to jail.
So maybe not go
no, how about get overwhelmed by little wall still not there?
That's probably what I just the opposite effect.
Yeah, that's probably what it is. Go now while while stocks
last while
the getting's good Get Brexit update.
Oh yes I have a couple of things I'm Brexit actually this is
hilarious
Yeah, let's let's start with I get this Brexit rejected list on
PBS this this this doesn't even get to the to the whole what's
really going on but it's I just think he's just kind of a funny
clip the debate over
Brexit has divided the British people and political parties for
two years parliament has been unable to come to any kind of
consensus. Lawmakers today tried to change that by voting on
eight different versions of Brexit. I'll get to the results
in a minute. But first, listen to the today's appeals of unity
made by members of parliament.
Mr. Speaker, this really is Five Minutes to Midnight. For this
parliament for this government and for our country. We
desperately need to find a way out of this mess. Our country
has spent two years tied up in knots by the Prime Minister's
incompatible red lines.
After years of paralyzing conflict, we have a moral duty
to open our minds this afternoon and reach for a compromise that
will allow us to put the interminable Brexit Rao behind
us
is going to be possible to end the catastrophic shambles of the
last six months, we are beginning to talk about actually
being able to take decisions founded on some sort of cross
party consensus and some search for a majority that can be
sustained.
That call for consensus did not mute any mouths in Parliament,
but it apparently fell on deaf ears because take a look at the
results of tonight's votes. Option one leave the European
Union without a deal result rejected. Options two through
five were versions of a softer Brexit meaning a closer
relationship with Europe. Those included a frictionless
relationship with the EU, an option to remain in the EU
single market an option to negotiate a permanent Customs
Union and option for the Labour Party's alternative described as
close alignment with EU all of those were rejected. Option six
revoke article 50 Cancel Brexit entirely rejected and option
seven a second referendum like the one that launched his
process in 2016. But only after Parliament endorsed the deal
result rejected and Option A to basically a wish list of the
people who want to complete divorce from the EU result
rejected.
Now what
what are we gonna do is it's a comedy,
aren't they? Aren't they in session as we speak, trying to
figure it out what the what the next with the next.
This is the best thing ever. And they just reject everything they
can't come to. I didn't know and you know they took her power
away. That's one thing they voted yes, earlier than the
week. They said neutral. You suck. We're gonna do the deal.
And they kicked. Theresa May aside she's still Prime Minister
kicked her aside so they could do and that's when they came up
with these eight ideas that they reject reject project. I don't
know. It's just as becoming out of control.
There was an interesting couple of sessions in European
Parliament. Eu President Donald Tusk Tusq emerge. Do you
remember the that phony baloney protest with all the pre made
signs that they say they had a million people on the street?
protest of what? Oh, to leave. I believe by the way you may say
every phony baloney protest. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah,
the Ionis a phony baloney protests are being ridden now.
The one with the signs that looked like like they were
handmade. What they weren't just last week, just last week. And
that coincided with that online petition. Where they had 4
million or 5 million
people
voted didn't vote. They signed the petition online.
Online, which is bullcrap. Well listen to what that robots and I
can deal with that? Well,
this is how it went down in the European Parliament.
And here let me make one personal remark to the members
of this Parliament. Before the European Council. I said that we
should be open to a long extension. If the UK wishes to
rethink its Brexit strategy, which would of course mean the
UK participation in the European Parliament elections. And then
there were voices saying that this should be harmful or
inconvenient to some of you. Let me be clear, such thinking is
unacceptable. You cannot betray the 6 million people who signed
the petition to revoke article 50. There are many million
people who marched for a people's vote or the increasing
majority of people who wants to remain in the European Union.
They may feel that they are not sufficiently represented by the
UK Parliament. But they must feel that they are represented
by you in this chamber. Because they are European. Yeah.
So it was, it was an EU and EU Gambit. They set it all up.
There was I think so It's what he said. It sounds exactly like
that's what happened.
Yeah, they set it up. They set up the petition, which now was 6
million people voted or you can ignore them. It was like a move
on.org petition. Kidding me. And the million people who marched
with our made up phony baloney signs. Yeah, that was good. Gi
for hofstadt He lost his shit.
And that is the real problem, colleagues, why there is such a
problem in this crisis, because member states are reluctant to
transfer new sovereignty and powers to the European Union.
And we all know that the only way out of this crisis is a new
transfer of powers to the European Union and to the
European institutions.
Yeah, that's the goal.
Hitler, but that's what he's saying exactly
what the problem is, you haven't given your power to us. That's
the problem. You idiots, I gotta play it again, this is this, I
think this is an evergreen,
that is a fantastic clip, I'll give you a clip of the day
fortune FatCat. Well,
I'll play the clip of the day. And I'll play it again.
And that is the real problem, colleagues, why there is such a
problem in this crisis, because member states are reluctant to
transfer new sovereignty and powers to the European Union.
And we all know that the only way out of this crisis is a new
transfer of powers to the European Union and to European
institutions. Freedom, subjugation is liberation of
this world.
Go EU.
They should be playing that clip in England as we speak.
They it's available? I can I can email it to him.
Oh, if anybody needs it, we'll see the status that's telling it
like it is I'm not gonna say the guy's not incorrect. That's what
they're up to. That's what you're trying to do. And as the
new German Empire, you know, it's pretty much and you've got
a guy there with a German accent. I mean, come on.
Well, he's Belgian, but it sounds German, saying good. And
then we still have Henri Geller, who was still trying to get the
do over vote,
we need the second referendum. It was a messy was rigged by
lies. Therefore, it was not fair. It needs to be done again.
This time, I'm sure the result would be different. Because the
British people now understand what it means a second
referendum would see the decision making taking taken
back to the public for a final vote on the Brexit situation,
the normal British public didn't fully understand what they were
voting for. And you know that they do now they would be
calling them stupid. They do know they do now, if a
referendum would be fair now, now that most people have a much
better understanding of what it actually means to leave the EU.
You know, most most of the British people, including some
very smart people, didn't fully understand what Brexit actually
meant. We're not politicians. But many of us have taken a lot
more interesting politics since this mess began. And you know
that to allow most British voters fully understand what
they're voting for. Oh, that
was stupid. I get it. Even the smart people were stupid. They
didn't get it. They were wrong. They didn't know it was lies.
How rude. I want you to go to start talking about Trump.
Oh, God, you imagine so he's just an open. So the idea is, of
course and we talk about this that all these nations nations
should give up their sovereignty which they've spent out I would
say this 1000 years sometimes more to get to the point where
they have sovereignty and they have been out all over their
over their coverage free and every country man does just give
it to these guys and these Belgians who are really a
frontman for the Germans, yes, you all just give it all to them
and just give up everything just say not bad. We got no more
borders, we got no more culture, we got nothing. Whatever you say
goes That's Really, that's what we want?
Well, I think the UK didn't, but all the other countries did that
when they gave up the sovereignty of their national
currency. I think that ship has sailed, but the UK was smart.
And they said, Yeah, you know, we'll hedge a little bit. And
we'll, we'll keep our pound. Yeah, that was at that very
smart. But what do you think, John? We've always said, they'll
never leave. We've been hoping for a second referendum so they
could never leave. I don't even know if we'll get the people's
vote. Now I'm worried about the people's vote, the people need
to be voted
down to people's vote in Parliament, which would seem
like their opportunity. Because there's too many no deal Brexit
tears, it turns out, there's more and more of them. In fact,
as as that report that I had the clip from went on and on, they
said, that's the closest that the vote was of all the votes,
right. That's the one that was almost an even vote that could
easily become passed, which is the, which is the the no deal
Brexit, which means that you just turn yourself over into
another world organization, the World Trade Organization, and
let them call the shots on your trading. Right, which is the way
to do it seems like the most logical thing to do. And they
could have done that from day one. They didn't have to work,
you know, spend two years working out some scammy deal.
Well, there's big forces at work here. And I'm sure that the
players we see aren't really the ones that are most important in
all of this. And I have a feeling there's other other
forces that we're not privy to, and don't make it into the media
that drive these we
still have what is the crown think? And what are they got to
do with it? And they're, they're important, even though Americans
don't think so. And what does the Rothschilds think?
Yeah, well, there's two competing groups right there.
Well, they're competing, but neither one of them are going to
benefit from becoming a full time member of the EU and giving
up all British sovereignty, especially the queen. Yeah. i
Well, how does the Netherlands handle that they have a king or
are Yes, Duke or some?
Oh, the king and queen? Why? Break? I broke bread with them.
Don't be so diminutive about.
It wasn't diminutive. I'm just saying, what are they doing
about being giving up the sovereignty of the net of the
Netherlands?
While they're cashing in? Of course?
Well, I don't think the Queen of England can cash in any more
than she's done.
I don't know the royal houses is confusing to me how that still
works in today's world. And you know, and that people still
believe the lie that they're just ceremonial. It's fine.
Meanwhile, there's a lot of worry about, well, we have
medicine, we have bread, we have cleaning, ladies, all kinds of
things are very worried about. And the Eurostar, which goes
through the channel into France is a big problem. And it's not
necessarily Brexit, but the French, as they now have what we
call a we call that a slow down. It's not a strike, but it's a
slow down where you do everything by the book. Just
slow down. Yeah, what they call it the work work to the rules
strike in France, and it's ongoing as we speak.
So it's an old new
interest. So sorry, what? It's an old Union trick. While it's
working well,
the third week of the so called work to rule strikes, they're
not real strikes by the French customs officers. It basically
means that they are applying all the rules very strictly. They
check all passengers all the luggage they ask questions, they
basically apply the very strict rules that are also in place at
airports when you would like to go outside Europe. This leads to
queues of very long queues so people can wait about six hours
before they can board the Eurostar usually it only takes
20 to 30 minutes. So the strike is far from over. The Eurostar
didn't want us led in the garden or he arrived behind me today to
interview angry passengers. But it just went inside and it's now
pretty calm. There's only one more Eurostar to leave today.
But probably tomorrow morning, with the earliest Eurostar the
chaos will commence again. And Eurostar actually advises their
passengers not to travel on the Eurostar at all anymore before
the first of April this next Monday.
Dan, six hours, six hours Oh, my goodness,
getting the rules if you go by this is the same in American
factories or any any workplace. If you actually go by the rules,
you can just grind things to a halt. I mean, I did that when I
was an inspector at trail mobiel.
You you union guy you
Well, I wasn't just being union. I was because you're an
inspector and you go by the rules, you can really bring
things to a halt. And then you could it was a long night. The
story I've told on the show, I think before, but go ahead. I'll
tell it again. So I'm an inspector, which means you get
different helmet. You work for different age, you work within
the company, but not for any of the people that are working
there. You had a helmet, you had a helmet. You have a special
helmet with a big strike down the middle. What she's like,
cool. Got it. Cool is a hardhat with a big white stripe, like a
White House here like inspectors inspector. So did you have an
armband? Do you have a armband? No armbands, unfortunately. So
they, so this one guy who I like to kind of hang out with because
he was he was a comedian. And he would be he'd be it was just
always cracker. So I spent a lot of time with him and his foreman
comes over and choose me out for slowing him down because I was
not, you know, I should be going out and doing my job. And, and
it gets it gets this guy to go back to work. And I have to go
back. And you know, because I'm letting things you know, I'm
helping them things move along. I thought this was wasn't I
wasn't, the guy was doing his job. He's just talking to me. So
I said, Okay, so I went to the end of the line where everything
starts coming off. And I started read it because I had nothing
else to do. I couldn't talk to this guy. So I started red
tagging everything, every little bump and little up there's a
burr Oh, there's a there's a rivet that could looks like it
could be hit a few more times. And I would just tag the whole.
So the whole trailer coming off this line was just tagged with
millions of things to fix. Next one, same thing. Next one, same
thing. So the whole life stopped dead. And so the guy so that
guess he got chewed out because you're not producing anything,
because they're spending all their time trying to fix the red
tags. Yeah, but they were flaws that technically were Taggable I
wasn't I wasn't bullshitting anybody. And that normally last
slide, and
that's and that's how airplanes fall out of the sky.
And so what you do is well with airplanes, you probably be a
little more rigid, strict, but so the guy comes a begs me, it
was just great. He begged me to stop doing this too. That's
great guy in the apologize for him for kicking, chewing out his
butt, my buddy, and all the rest of it. Anyway, I just felt so
good about it. I said, okay, okay, we got it. And I just went
back to normal inspect. So
I guess maybe if we got into the podcast union, you'd be the
perfect guy for it. Perfect. By the way, speaking of this
podcast union stuff, so Spotify bought gimlet was it $250
million. And of course the gimlet people who produced all
these these fine shows, they're not seen any of that money. So
they unionize because they want to get their fair share, which
the next time I come up with a brilliant idea of like, I don't
know creating an internet company in an advertising
company and I want to take it public five years too early, or
when I invent podcasting, and that's like 10 years too early.
Could you remind me next time I come up with a brilliant idea to
sit on my ass for 10 years? Because man that we've missed
our damn exit
Spotify, announcing plans to buy podcast company podcast. It's
the streaming giant third acquisition of a podcast company
within the last two months. Terms of the deal were not
disclosed. But Spotify says it expects to spend up to $500
million in total on acquisitions this year. It's interesting
Spotify at some point was talking about original
programming right they'll get these kind of you know,
we could have been rolling in dough JCD die by pod show. Yeah,
yeah, we messed that up. And what an
excellent you're way ahead of it, you're too far ahead.
But that's the problem. And here I am doing a podcast in a
closet.
I'm gonna show my school by donation to no agenda Imagine
all the people who could do that oh yeah, that'd be fun
while there are a few people who appreciate you being in the
closet are going to mention a few including Peter De Jong and
in spasm BC $145.76 You know I called him out on this by the
way anyway says Jean gold he's got some jewelry I call him I
said your nobody lives in spasm and he admitted that it's true
he's not really it's not really in spasm. Ah, no, of course not.
But I told him to pick me up by some photos of the spasm city
limits signs and things like that because I guess he's been
through it. That spasm story stems from the first time I went
to Canada years and years ago to speak it was in Vancouver. And
the guy says to me Hey, you want to get a big laugh? Just say
spasm sometime during your presentation. I said what spasm
is this this town is that's down in BC and so I did I said and
then I guess you're gonna go to spasm to get some Nanos, I just
said it in some some way shape or form and I got I got a huge
laugh. Oh, good.
Like wow, for spasm Scott

a cat meatball restaurant and send Jen China a cat meat but

been known for for selling cat as a as rabbit. And I I remember

from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe. Okay,
before we do our nights a quick reminder we do have a number of
no agenda meetups coming up which you can check out at no
agenda meetups.com It's very important to find people who
listen to the show and have similar Thinking and look him in
the eye and meet people face to face. It's something is
incredibly necessary in this world of connectivity. And he
will enjoy it. We enjoy doing him and we have April 20 in
Greater Atlanta, Atlanta, the 27th in Zurich. G is going to be
a good one, eastern North Carolina on May 25, and
Pittsburgh also on May 25. And you can start your own or you
can go check these out at no agenda meetups.com And now let
me grab my blade. We've got two gentlemen waiting on deck if
you've got to have your sword out, John Eric goes, yep, there
it is perfect. Aaron Christiansen and Jove assessee.
Gentlemen, Stefan up here. Thank you very much for your

I just got a note from Joe Hey Adam. It's pronounced Joe be
one. Yeah, so I kind of got that to be one. Joey was Obi Wan as
an Obi Wan Jo Obi Wan Okay, well, you are at the table my
friend. Thank you and thank everybody for supporting the
show. So lovely to do the show. Can you imagine us having to
work for a living John
we are working for a living this is a lot of work. It says that
we create our own jobs. Well yeah, jobs jobs job is a
restaurant and he has to manage it right
now Oh, let's see you want to do climate change green new deals.
You
open the gate actually we I got a lot of clips. Oh good. Well,
let me see. Where's
the climate gate? We haven't hit that bitch in a while. Hi.
Climategate as she is come on, come on gate. Why are you not
responding to me? To the gate to the gate, opening up the climate
gate where all the bullcrap slows downhill.
Well, the week kind of began with these hit with Vinata
hearings with a vote on the green New Deal in the Senate,
which was a mockery. Yes, it was. It was I want to play the
Democrats were irked by the whole thing, because what
happened was the Senate what's his name? Let's step
back for one second green New Deal. Just everyone understands
is a resolution. That just it's like, it's like a globalist
thing. We just say, hey, we all agree that this is important,
right? And then from there, you can create legislation and say,
if you recall, we signed the green New Deal back in the day
and we all agreed this was important. So that's really all
that it is. It's just the
march McConnell decided well, let's just put this to a vote.
You let's let's forego what usually is a is a roadblock,
series of committee meetings and investigations and all these
things before you put some do a vote. He said you guys want this
thing. We'll just put it for a vote. We'll skip the middleman
and see what happens. Well, the Democrats were having none of
it. They here's the random I want to play two clips from the
Democrats. Dem random Democrat is any any of them would have
been doing this clip on the green New Deal discussion. And
let me preface this by saying during the Senate floor debate,
all the Republicans came up with kind of joke presentation,
scientists wouldn't be lovely 15 minutes of you know, Reagan on a
dragon and they're just just just ridiculing the whole green
New Deal is a piece of crap, which it is. But the Democrats
meanwhile, we're irked about the way it was presented. Here's the
grant Republican leader is bringing out for a vote on the
floor of the Senate this afternoon. The Green New Deal
resolution. What the Republican leader however, is not doing is
allowing us to have any hearings, any witnesses any
science, any evidence of the massive destruction in our
country, just over the last two years from fires from flooding,
$400 billion worth of damage. None of that will ever be heard
out here. None of it was heard in a committee because the
Republican leader is making In a sham out of this process, it is
not a serious process that this incredible issue deserves. The
United Nations has made it clear that climate change is now an
existential threat to our country. Okay,
I just want to say two things. One, it did not say existential
threat to our country. That's not I read it. That's not what
the report said, existential means you'll be extinct. That's
bullshit, too. I also found this to be quite a shameful charade.
This is wasting my time wasting because I prep for the show. So
it's wasting my time that's irritating right there. But also
it is wasting money. It makes a mockery of the political
process. I found it offensive personally, that the Republicans
did that. Not about the Green New Deal. Just the fact they
would take so much time out of their day, have people working
on dinosaur pictures? It was just bullshit.
I could see your position. I would say what they should have
done was just not done the mockery and just done the vote.
Yeah, well, because what it resulted in is that there was
no, I mean, nobody voted for the green New Deal. All these guys
who have big mouths, like the next clip, which is White House,
Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island, who has been a constant
complainer, and a huge supporter of global warming, come out, and
then, you know, condemned the Republicans for being so glib
about the whole thing. I think they could have skipped the glib
part. I agree with that. Let's, by the way, this effort just
went by with Ben Cartwright
three hours late. Did it come through the Eurostar channel by
any chance?
No, I don't think so did have an extra car that some some crazy
old car attached at the end Whitehouse on the green New
Deal.
And we are now looking at maps that are coastal agency that our
university and that the scientists at NOAA, tell us will
create a new face of Rhode Island in the decades ahead. If
we don't address climate change, we turn into an archipelago, we
lose enormous amounts of waterfront and as a small state.
Frankly, Mr. President, we don't have a lot to give back to the
ocean. This is deadly serious for us. And I join in my
colleagues sense of offense, that the other side thinks that
this is something funny. This is not funny. For Rhode Islanders.
This is deadly real. And you may disagree with us. But the one
thing I think we are owed on this subject is sincerity. And
there is nothing sincere about the vote that is going to be
held on the green New Deal. This is a vote based on a cartoon
version of the green new deal that was cooked up by the Koch
brothers have their hands all over this map. Wait,
wait a minute. What? What version? Is there a version of
the Koch brothers the Koch New Deal, the new Koch Green New
Deal? What did I miss?
I don't know what he's talking about. That's interesting.
And it was instructed by the fossil fuel mouthpiece at the
Wall Street Journal editorial page, it took only days for the
majority leader to hop up and do the bidding of these forces. We
are owed better than this, disagree with our measures,
fine. Have one of your own. We have five or six different bills
and strategies that we're willing to work on. This is a
time to be serious, to be sincere and to quit mocking a
concern that across the board is recognized as real. In fact,
there is not a Republican here who can't go to their home state
university and be told about the truth of climate change with
that I yield the floor.
No, that's not any standard.
No, he says for sure. So he saw all these guys came up and made
this dis commentary this
this was in the house, right. This was not in the Senate.
Senate. This was the Senate.
Yeah, the vote was in. So they go on. And they all virtue
signal. And they all wanted hearings, when the whole point
of a hearing is to take it to the Senate floor. So skipping
the hearings part is what irked them because they wanted to do
all these hearings, so they can bring all these pieces if they
ignore all that. Yeah. And just get more publicity for their
perspective. And so McConnell said, Now, you guys want to do
this as you vote yes or no, let's just get it out of the
way. We don't need hearings, because we're just skipped to
hearing what you need to hear is for you to take the vote,
knowing that these Democrats were godless and not one voted
for it.
Well, hold on. Interesting to note, Professor John PhD in
political science who has been listened to show for maybe a
decade he emailed me this morning, he said, The voting
present is not exactly the same as voting no or not being there.
Now The reason why you want to vote present is that the party
could pick up this issue again and have everybody come back and
they could change the those who were present at the time could
change their vote to a yay or nay. So it's not entirely
without merit to vote present. But obviously, for all the
shouting and existential threat crap we heard you'd expect
someone to vote yes, but no one did not even one of the
Democrats.
No, not one yes vote corrected from these guys who are
blowhards and White House is one of them if he's making such a
fuss, yeah, okay, so the other side's mocking the whole thing
and they're gonna vote Yes. Aren't you going to take a
stand? And you're they're gonna vote? No. Aren't you going to
take a stand and vote? Yes. So you can be on the record? Not
one did and they're not going to come back and vote yes. I mean,
they could, but that's not going to happen. The whole thing is
just, uh, I agree with you. And the part is a waste of time.
Doesn't have to be such a waste of time that it was, but it took
up a whole day. And it was, it was, you know, a lot of
Republicans like, the guys like Ben Shapiro were sniggering over
the whole idea. And they thought it was just great.
I think a lot of people, here's the thing that's that sad. AOC
is a great communicator. And it's too bad. She doesn't have a
message. Because her rebuttal to all this bullcrap. Which I'll
play, if we have time after your clips, when she was
communicating, something had nothing to do with global
warming. But she was speaking to the kids who were out there. You
remember, this school strike had no idea about carbon dioxide,
they're talking about dirty water, dirty air, plastic on the
planet. They don't even understand any of this. They
only read headlines, they're poorly informed. It's too bad
because AOC does have a means to communicate. She's in
bulletproof in a certain way. If only she could have a message
that made sense, she would be worth something.
You mean you only if they wrote her a message that made sense.
Yes.
And I have thoughts about who's behind her. In fact, I think
it's very possible that there are some big oil behind her in
the snack, not that she knows about it. But there's a very
simple reason for this. And then I'll shut up when you have
renewable energy in place, such as Germany, what happens so they
they they they closing down nuclear, they've gone as much as
they can on wind and solar, which is very inefficient it's
you know, it's quote unquote free, but it's very inefficient
because there's no way to store it to what happens when the grid
it needs extra energy, they fire up the gas plants. So the
increase in cost and direct revenue to the Big Oil guys is
working beautifully. You'll see show and Exxon and all these
guys, Chevron oh they Oh yes, please we were all in on
renewable energy. They love the hell out of it. Because except
nuke Well,
no of course Newcastle you can't have nuclear because that would
ruin their deal. The gas people read I think maybe it's possible
out like bam, you're saying yeah, sorry. I know what you're
saying there the whole the whole thing if you put it all together
in a big bundle and you have the fact that nuclear power is is
forbidden that's only benefits the oil companies when all is
said and done yeah.
Because in Germany now they have to give away free energy when
when the wind is blowing really hard because it overloads the
network to like shit Portugal take our take our energy,
because otherwise we're gonna blow up the network. And then
when it's not enough, they got to switch on they got to fire up
the gas plants. And that's why the cost goes up. It's a bonanza
for us really. Were the gonna We're the premier supplier of
gas now. It's a bonanza. So the people have no I think that has
unwittingly probably there's there's oil money behind this
whole AOC thing because it's working out swimmingly.
I'm glad you got that in because this next series of clips kind
of have a point to be made. And I think it's worth listening to
the I cut this down as much as possible. This was a drastic
measures. series of clips taken from a very long presentation on
PBS NewsHour. It's showing some of these nut balls out there
that one of seed the stratosphere with sulfur
dioxide, sulfur dioxide and calcium carbonate and different
things to cool the planet down. Not even discussing it. Does
every country in the world want us or some one company to be
screwing around in the upper atmosphere with you did a
termination I don't know you didn't Press play this. For
clips. This is clip number one. As
we heard, there's been some debate on Capitol Hill about how
to tackle climate change. But the expectation is that very
little legislation is going to pass in the foreseeable future.
And yet climate changes impact is growing around the world. The
federal government's own assessment found climate change
is already costing the US hundreds of billions of dollars
and having a major effect in parts of the country. Some
researchers argue the problem is getting so serious that it's
time to start exploring ideas that have long been seen as far
out and potentially loaded with other consequences. But these
scientists say the times demand new approaches to lower the
earth's temperature. Miles O'Brien is back with this story.
It's part of our breakthroughs reports, for our regular series
on the leading edge of science.
Engineer David Keith has run the numbers on climate change. And
for him, the bottom line presents a stark reality. Even
if we eliminate the emissions, we simply stopped the climate
problem getting worse, we don't make it any better. The planet
is already in trouble. There's too much carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. And human civilization is doing precious
little about it. As you can see here, these trend lines have a
lot of inertia. So even if we stopped using all fossil fuels
tomorrow, there's still so much carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere, that the problem will persist for decades. We do
need to drive emissions to zero. But we also need to reduce the
risk from a co2 that's in the air.
So he's this guy who's also owns a company that sucks carbon
dioxide out of the air and then blends it with hydrogen to make
fuel is got these ideas of seeding the upper atmosphere,
and the I've heard these ideas for at least 20 years. Yes,
they're all dangerous. You don't know what's going to happen.
They do discuss some aspects of this. But as we go to the end of
it, there's a little gotcha that I think is the real kicker here
that may make certain that none of this ever takes place.
Hopefully this start with a clip to
inject large quantities of sulfur dioxide, or maybe another
aerosol into the stratosphere using high altitude aircraft.
This should lower global temperatures by reflecting
sunlight away from our planet, for how it sounds like an idea
hatched by a James Bond villain. And David Keith is keenly aware
of that Jewish herring seemed like a bit of a crazy idea. But
there was a taboo. And I think taboos are unhealthy. And my
view was, we should understand it better to see just how crazy
it really is. Those
blues are unhealthy. Like to put that in there, let's go to
three,
and maybe just maybe to begin to think about mimicking volcanoes
by injecting reflecting particles into the stratosphere.
That's a terrible idea. But people are beginning to give it
some attention.
Yeah, it's really changing. Suddenly, many more have the
kind of environmental leadership and sort of science policy
thought leadership take this seriously, it really feels very
different even from a year ago. But the devil as always lurks in
the details. One of the big questions, could it make the
climate worse in some places better than others?
That has all kinds of unclear ramifications? We don't know
what the regional changes in rainfall patterns might look
like.
That's just one of the possible unintended consequences of solar
geoengineering. Other questions? How would it affect agriculture?
How would any aerosol interact with the gases already present
in the stratosphere? And could there be some unwelcome
byproducts?
Yeah, he's spraying us like bugs, I wonder what
or life on Earth. But reason that this is not going to happen
is kind of revealed in the last clip.
scopex is a small scale experiment designed to test some
of the unintended consequences of a really big idea. But
perhaps the greatest unintended consequence of geoengineering
might be in the realm of psychology. If we know we can do
it, will we use it as an excuse not to reduce our fossil fuel
emissions? For the PBS NewsHour, Miles O'Brien Well, that's
interesting.
And you can see if you if the goal of the global warming tests
is to put the kibosh only use that word one shot yeah first
time to show you on thought the fossil fuel business the coal
industry and and automobiles that you can drive around freely
because you can get gasoline, which is a great source of, of
energy. If the idea is to get rid of all that because there
seems to be an underlying idea to get rid of all of that we
want to have electric cars To do this, we're gonna do that. If
that's the idea, the real idea, then this is a bad idea because
this doesn't do that. So this will this will get nowhere
because of that one little gotcha. Which is that will this
actually cool things enough? So we can just keep using fossil
fuels like maniacs. And I think that's really the whole Gotcha.
And that's why I think the whole thing is a big giant fraud.
Well, you know, my, my feeling is that they've been testing
this solar geoengineering for a long time. Yeah. You can tell me
they haven't. But I see it. My eyes do not lie. I'm seeing
stuff in the air. There's ample just what is this stop spraying
us documentary? There's they've been testing this for a while.
So I'm just waiting for
somebody you're thinking isn't they're not testing it to change
the climate so much? No, they're testing testing it to use it as
a means of control.
Yes, space spray has like bugs and keep us docile. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, it's an added benefit. And it's kind of binary, you know,
you add, you add the spraying to the five G. And then Oh, yeah.
And then have you seen this massive push for vaccination?
There's a big push going on right now. We have story after
story of horrible things happening. Mumps outbreak at
Temple laid.
We're Tuesday on an expanding mumps outbreak at Temple
University. I think we
have a handle on it. But as Dr. Hill said, we're probably going
to see another wave coming.
The numbers have gradually increased over the last month.
City Health Officials say as of this afternoon, there are 105
cases 18 have been confirmed a balance of 87 remain probable
based on symptoms. You could
imagine that social activities that university students
typically do like party going and those kinds of things.
Like the guy, university administrator, you know, like
things that people like to do like, you know, party going and
you know, having sex and stuff, you know, you're in school to
learn, but okay,
mother to training virus. So that's what we, we think is been
responsible for much of the transmission that we've been
seeing
mass vaccination clinics are set for Wednesday and Friday on
campus,
mass vaccination clinics, health officials.
Oh, wait, I didn't get to school because of the mystery. But what
is this from Chico State.
Temple says Arizona temple because I would
think it's Chico State or Arizona. ASU is another one of
these temples temples in Arizona, isn't it? No Temple is
no next time the mill is back. He's somewhere out
temple. Where's temple? Philadelphia? Philadelphia?
Philadelphia Philly. Yeah, this isn't. This isn't the end they
have 18 confirmed cases of the mumps ladies and gentlemen, but
no mass vaccination clinic immediately get your shot slave
clinics
are set for Wednesday and Friday on campus. Health officials say
close to 1000 people have already received booster shots.
So we're really trying to encourage folks to come out
booster shots. This is new booster shots, not just it's a
booster. We're trying to
target some of the more high risk groups trying to get folks
from the residence halls here. Student athletes, just trying to
target as many students as we can to come on in and get the
vaccination
people talking about this a lot. Yeah, right now. Yeah. Do you
know anybody who's been affected? Not really. Nobody
around me has been affected several students have largely
gone
this is one of the students but listen, there's an end to this
sound like the Okay, it's an end to him. Not really, nobody
around me has been affected several
students have largely gone about their education unaffected by
the illness, but well aware of the story circulating far beyond
campus about the situation. This man here knows he's current with
his shot. Do you have a booster? Yeah. Alright, so you're all
set? Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, I told my friends to you know, you
gotta go out there listening to you. Yeah, you better because
I'm not gonna be hanging around during the day. You know? This
so interesting to me. You got your booster shot. So you're
good to go. But you're
not going to say that this university students that are
speaking yes,
that's a university student.
Okay, go on.
So he went to the mass vaccination clinic got his
booster shot but we still won't hang around with his friends
because you know if they're not vaccinated won't hang around
with them because now guess the booster doesn't work. These
things. This is I don't know what's
going on. Let's not even
discuss this with you. This is screwy. Let's go to Rockland
County.
Parents like movida Harvey are scared. It is scary. It is scary
living in a county with the worst measles outbreak in the
nation. So we
had mumps in in Philly and now this is Rockland County. Now we
have
measles for eight month old baby boy too young to get the vaccine
because of this outbreak. The pediatrician. They want to even
like give the shots a little bit early and that's disturbing to
me. So as
the pediatricians are even saying, Oh done Don't worry
about your kid being a little too young just give it a shot to
the kid anyway. Yeah, that is disturbing and
keeping home since then he doesn't really go
out and come midnight Health officials say parents of
unvaccinated kids will have to do the same.
This is a public health crisis. And it is time to sound the
alarm
Rockland County Health officials taking a drastic step. The first
of its kind in the US, barring unvaccinated children. That's
anyone under the age of 18 from public places for 30 days,
including schools, stores, restaurants, places of worship,
and public transit. They can go outdoors to public parks
and there's a lot of anger about this as as a huge Orthodox
Jewish community in Rockland County and this state of
emergency which means children cannot be in public places
including public places of worship for the next 30 days.
Conveniently it falls in during Passover so there's no there's
now there's people saying what is this anti semitism? What's
going on?
I think it's a very good idea because we're all exposed and we
have young children we I have grandchildren I wouldn't want
them exposed
most of the 153 cases since October have been in the
Orthodox Jewish community where some parents have refused to
vaccinate their kids or cooperate with health officials.
So
having these then there's many of these stories outbreak
outbreak here outbreak there and it's all M M. R, it's measles
mumps,
or rubella, rubella,
rubella. I don't know I mean, I just I questioned all this
booster Stein
wondering about it too because it's supposed to be a herd
immunity with all the people that get those shots anyway, so
nobody should be getting any of these diseases. And then just
somebody gets a shot and next thing you know they have the
disease. Yeah, that's what bothers me. Yeah. And then you
have that guy who's probably accurate when he says well I got
to I got the booster but I don't want to see it be around a my
friends who have because he probably has some sense that
booster doesn't do anything. Yeah. Even though you condemned
him it's just something you write I think you're onto
something you might as this is now your thing,
but I'm not well, I've always been on the vaccines ever since
we learned that all the big pharmaceutical big
pharmaceutical companies saw this as the big revenue driver
now this is eight years ago maybe that we first saw this
presentation,
but you found a annual report or a PowerPoint
it was one of those financial conferences for pharmaceutical
companies. Yeah, and then they presented it as a PowerPoint
yes especially now that they have the last chance to dig dirt
not liable for anything if they make crap and shoot people up
they gonna die so what I
just don't like that so there's 18 confirmed cases you know the
these other cases all within the mostly within the Jewish
community why I'm okay with hey you know if you want to get your
shot if you want to get a flu shot and you know it's fine but
this mandatory and your kid can't be anywhere and the
emergency that the the constant oh my god we're all going to die
is crazy. Keep your kids in dog give them a boost. That urgency
bothers me why? Why do that? That makes people worried. Then
it sets them up for other things I think I don't know it just
very bothersome to me the way that's rolling out and everyone
gets all freaked out all mumps
is my favorite one chicken bone wasn't in your report, but
that's going on to Oh, it's
it's out there. It's out there.
So which makes no sense? I tell you what, why
don't we bring the show to an end it's a perfect place to end
we're all going to die and get your shot.
Yeah, get get shot.
Get your shot.
I want to thank in advance. Chris cooling Jesse Coyne
Nelson, sir seat sitter for the end of show Diddy's which we
have lined up for you. And I want to thank everybody for
tuning in once again to our deconstructs God we will return
on Sunday with another full blown episode for you please
support the work at devora.org/na and coming to you
from Sunday coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas in the
capital of the drone star states. It's FEMA Region number
six and other governmental maps if you're looking for it in the

law condo in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where I did get the witnesses
ever go by with an additional car at the end, which was one of
those private cars that had a dome on it. And Jhansi Dvorak,
we return on Sunday with another episode right here on no agenda.
Until then adios mo

but that constant reinvigoration of hope, determination,
optimism, courage to make the future better. For the next
generation, those are American traits. And these newcomers make
America more American.
That was the scene in California's Mojave Desert five
years ago, our historic first view of the newcomers ship.
Theirs was a slave ship carrying a quarter million beings bred to
adapt and labor in any environment. But they've washed
ashore on Earth with no way to get back to where they came
from. And in the last five years, the newcomers have become
the latest addition to the population of Los Angeles.
