to this morning, going out to the team at Stitcher? Did you
hear about this? No, no, the Stitcher is a pretty big podcast
app. And they they have an interesting business model,
which where they insert ads before I think and after. If you
pause the show then and then when you unpause it an ad will
play anyway they got they got a lot of shows on there. A lot of
people abusing their system. A lot of people listen to no
agenda show through there as well. And they had some
catastrophic event take place on Thursday. And they're still not
up or willing. I haven't checked this morning, actually. But
yeah, that's
a big problem in MailChimp.
Yeah, and I'm a little confused about this. You sent out to the
newsletter, which I received and then you send out an emergency
newsletter, which was always a notice note emergency notice all
text. I guess you somehow thought or maybe you had
evidence that we were getting caught in spam or something
didn't work or want to tell us what's
going on. It's definitely a MailChimp problem. Here's what
happened. So I do the newsletter, I send it to myself,
I always do a test so I read it you know and to have woods you
can find a lot of typos that way and I didn't get it. Okay, well
then I sent myself another test I changed the subject line the
maybe maybe it's a subject line and I don't know why didn't get
it because it wasn't in my my spam box either. And I didn't
get it again. And then by the time the deadline was coming up,
so I said well, I'll just ship it out. So I shipped it out and
I'd noticed some people got it I didn't get it again. So then I
sent out just this little notice and I got like there's one guy
who sent me a note saying in fact I got probably hundreds of
people who said I didn't get the newsletter I got this I didn't
get the newsletter and they from all sorts Gmail got the
newsletter Gmail didn't get the newsletter Yahoo Mail got the
newsletter Yahoo Mail didn't get but it wasn't
in spam for these people. It was just gone. It was never showed
up.
And the kicker was one guy he says the following. I run my own
email server. Yeah, me too. I run no filters whatsoever. And
he didn't get it and he didn't get it. Now that tells me that
your ISP level problem yeah. Or it is a MailChimp problem.
They're not sending out the whole
group of email and have you opened a ticket?
I sent a letter into my last contact you
got to open a ticket. Yes, open the ticket. Don't you know how
that works? I'm definitely opening a ticket on this I want
to know why open in Subversion you have to open a ticket in
Subversion. Don't you know how it work? That
means that all I know is that a lot of people didn't get it. And
I am assuming this is happening more and more often.
Yeah. I thought reviewing and looking at the looking at the at
the the original newsletter. I thought maybe it was getting
trapped in spam because there was a number of time Um You said
your offer I think didn't even the subject line have the word
offer in it?
I don't know that it did. That was I don't think that was it.
No, I have no I wasn't trapped in spam. Nobody found it in
spam. No, I didn't at least all the notes I've looked at to been
too many to look at all I'm so far but I'm going to put them
all I'm gonna disable the addresses so they can check the
addresses but nobody said Oh, I found it in spam. No, they said
they didn't get it. Okay. Well, I'm you know, I'm trying to spam
either. I'm sure you'll figure
it out. No. MailChimp will figure it out. And they'll close
the ticket eventually.
Ticket. Open a ticket.
So pretty interesting. Pretty interesting day yesterday. With
you talking,
let me guess you're gonna discuss the slam dunk
competition that went on forever.
Let me think no, that's not what I was going to discuss. No, I
was actually there was a thing going on at the Ronald McDonald
House. And there were like, 150 bears that people made to give
to the kids and the families that were there. So Tina and I
were there. And you know, they had que Vue came, you know, they
got the media alert, and they came in film, you always want to
have that it's always good. And all sudden, this guy's like, I
gotta go. And yeah, and he was just one guy on these days when
when local media cover something. It's one guy. One
guy, he's got the tripod, he's, you know, he's got a microphone.
He sets himself up in front of the camera. And this is a what
just came he was at CBS station here. I got a phone call. I
gotta go. We got breaking news, breaking news. And I'm like, I'm
looking online to what it could this be? Couldn't figure it out.
And then a couple hours later, and then we we figured it out
when you would have happened he was probably on his way to
Marfa. Of all places to die. He's on his way to Marfa. Yeah,
Marfa. That's where that were. Scalia was yes. He's in Marfa.
Well, he's not in Marfa anymore. Saying I didn't know he Yeah, it
was in Marfa. This rams and Marfa Lights are south of it.
Yeah. But this ranch is kind of interesting. We're talking about
one of the Supreme Court justices in the United States of
Gitmo nation.
Yeah, one of the more outspoken will not just
outspoken but he was heralded as the bastion of the of
conservative thinking and the original intent of the
Constitution. Hated pretty much universally by Democrats. Yeah,
it was very interesting to see on the face bag as soon as this
word came out. I mean, you here's the typical comment. Not
too bad. He's dead but what an idiot I'm glad he's gone. Now.
We should have killed him much earlier that screw this guy. He
was always a douchebag and then of course the LGBT community the
loving inclusive LGBT community ma'am they were everywhere just
saying glad that fuckers dead guy he's gone God he did. Nice
to be inclusive is bizarre John is bizarre. Guys dead. Within
seconds ill of the dead. It was yeah, it was ding dong. The
witch is dead. They're all so happy about it. So happy about
it. Now I of course had exactly the same thought as see what is
his name? Why do I not have this here? Somewhere I have an axle
rod clip. Gotta look for this now. Here we go. Axelrod who
used to be adviser to President Obama in the beginning, right.
The first The first
was the first chief of staff to wasn't it though. When they
first got in?
Yes, he was Chief of Staff. You're right. You're right. So
he was on CNN this morning and I couldn't agree with him more.
Danna bash, there is now an empty seat on the highest court
in the land. President
Obama this sounds like shit. I'm sorry about that. I don't know
why I had promised to fill it. But holy pick.
Joining me now with insights into the President's thinking is
David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Obama. What
is happening right now inside the White House. You have been
through this process with this President. Well, first let us
say that Aaron Sorkin could not have written the script better
dropping this right in the middle of a presidential
exactly that's what I thought script to beautiful script Yeah.
I'm not gonna argue with the point that is well timed for
insofar as we have a presidential election coming up
and yeah, we got these debates are heating up they're they're
really they're finally the the Republicans and the Democrats
both establishment of both and I've got some funny clips from
people that have never been watching.
Before we do that just for people. who have only been
watching on the sidelines outside of the United States or
in deamination? Who knows? The end it's it's kind of cynical
the way this is all of a sudden turn where, but now where we had
all the whole future of the country hangs in the balance on
who will be the next president. Now, it's all about the future
of the Constitution. And this is it's ratcheted everything up to
such an incredible degree, but very, very cynical that, you
know, this thinking that this Supreme Court, they're only
political that's that is the that is what you hear from
certainly from left. A bit from the right but more it's all it's
so political. So political. This is the stupid ass
bag, sir. Is going to pick for Supreme Court justices actly.
Exactly. The line. Yeah.
And the Yeah, so there, we have nine judges on the court until
you can't have a tie vote. And it seems there are five
certainly more conservative judges than liberal judges. And
so that's why this hangs in the balance. And now of course, we
have this interesting phenomenon, where the President
will, by the laws of the country by the Constitution, he appoints
with the advice and consent of the Senate. He appoints to
approve it, they have to approve it, that would be the consent
part. And of course, the Republicans have all immediately
come out and said, No, we're just gonna stall, that is not
going to happen.
Well, that's what some of the candidates have said. Yes,
that yes. Yeah. But that's the general consensus is, you know,
you got
to put it off, so that way, instead of letting Obama pick
him, you're gonna let Hillary pick him. That's really smart. A
lot
of people, there's a meme now going around where there's a
picture of Obama, and it says, Hey, thanks, Republicans, go
ahead, delay it so that Hillary or Bernie can elect me to the
Supreme Court.
No, that isn't good was fine for me.
I like it a lot. But what's really going to happen? And this
came in late last night, it's like, oh, yes, of course.
Because you know, and I don't know why people say that. I'm
using the Moneyball analogy incorrectly. But I think I am
using it properly, where it's, it's not the exact same thing as
the baseball, Moneyball. But the idea of okay, what's,
well, let's stop right there. So we can straighten this out?
Yeah. What do you think the Moneyball What do you think
Moneyball is all about to
me, Moneyball was, you have all the players and you look at all
the numbers, you go deep into this statistics, and if you
have, it's like the super delegates here, half a vote
there. This district over there gerrymander that and then we can
win? That would that's how I see Moneyball.
That's a convoluted interpretation. I think you're
you're headed in the right direction, then you somehow make
a leap of faith. Money, but I'll tell you what, I'll tell you
what I think it is based on whatever everybody thinks it is
baseball fan, okay. And then you tell me how that works into your
theory, which is okay. Money ball is about saving money by
finding a player whose stats are better than what he's getting
paid and, and better than his normal acknowledgment. In other
words, he's not seen as a superstar. But if you look at
his numbers, this guy and you can get him cheap. You can put
this guy in there, you're gonna get more than your money's
worth. Okay.
But then the analogy doesn't work. You're right.
I don't think it doesn't work. I think it's, I think it's you
just tweaked it funny. Yeah. I didn't say that. You weren't
correct. No, I received, what you're trying to do is put
together something efficiently. Yeah,
efficiently, but really based upon data, you know, because we
know Big Data is for small minds. And I think that's
exactly what they're looking at all big data, we can figure it
all out what district is going to do what so it's not exactly
the analogy of the movie. But that's kind of the idea.
And Rachel Maddow stopped using the money you come up with your
own. Yeah, I'll stop. I'll stop. Now use your own term. It's a
definable term.
I'll work on it. I'll work on it. I'll use my own term, the
curry concept. Here's the curry, the curry concept.com. So what
are we going to do? How do we circumvent? How do we
circumvent? Will not just the people's will
be a good one. How do we circumvent the people's
again? How do we how do we circumvent the Senate and make
them look so stupid that they have to approve whoever the
president nominates and Mitch Mitchell Ratto. There you go.
Rachel Maddow came up with this.
I mean, it's almost harder to imagine something that is going
to be a bigger shock to the system than this was something
you know, barring some major national security event. This is
kind of a bigger jolt as we can get. And so I think anybody
who's going to predict exactly what's going to happen here is
going to be embarrassed by those predictions just within the next
few weeks. But I do think that we are going to have to look for
non traditional circumstances in terms of housing Supreme Court
justices are replaced and now new ones are picked because the
Republicans control the Senate because Justice Scalia was such
an ideological figurehead on the right, because we know that
President Obama would replace him with somebody very different
than that. All those things combined for very unpredictable
future. If I had to throw one scenario into the mix, this
might be the kind of time when the President would choose a
nominee who effectively has already been vetted. Somebody
who can kind of jump the line in terms of the United States
Senate, somebody who has recently been through a rigorous
confirmation process. Somebody who, for example, is a cabinet
level official in the Obama administration already, the
first person who springs to mind.
Okay, I'm stopping it right there for an ask John, the first
nub right.
Before you add, do they ask John, I'm giving you a minus one
for playing a not only a Rachel Maddow clip, but one that was
horrible. Okay, it's not done yet. When we can start from it.
We're
not done yet. Okay. I'll take your handicap and up the ante.
You tell me the
question to me. You're asking me I'm asking you cabinet level.
Loretta Lynch.
No. It's somebody. It's somebody who is leaving soon.
Somebody who's leaving
who's leaving their post soon. If they are cabinet level
official, I've already been through senatorial approval
process not too long ago, really.
The right to nominate Hillary and her taken her taking the
job.
Wow, I hadn't thought of that one. That's even if I had to
choose I take that job. That's much better. She's
diverse crew, this has already become a Supreme Court justice.
Lord over all of you.
Now notice Rachel is calling in. Then this is last night. So I'm
thinking she was at the White House meeting because the White
House was you know, they were meeting all night. What are we
going to do? First we need a statement, then we have to
decide we're going to nominate, you're gonna nominate, okay,
you're gonna say yes, you're gonna nominate. All right, who
can we bring? Who can we circumvent with the curry with
the curry concept? Who can we serve? Who can circumvent the
whole process? Here comes cabinet level
official in the Obama administration already. The
first person who springs to mind for that kind of a scenario is
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson
Johnson jet. That here's a rationale,
who is a very distinguished attorney who is a personal
personally very reserved and non ideological person that has
served as in several administrations as a top
Pentagon lawyer, as a very trusted national security expert
and and legal mind and is now running the biggest agency in
the government outside of the Pentagon or the for the for the
Veterans Affairs Department. And indeed,
Johnson is about to leave, I think he has a month or two
left. And nothing better than having the guy who actually
signed the death warrants for the drone attacks to be on the
Supreme.
The death judge.
The hanging judge. Exactly, exactly. And this morning, there
was more of
that. That was actually very good. Very good.
Do I get my my minus one backup to nil? Okay, thank you. I don't
know why these clips sound so crappy. Something must have gone
wrong. But here is. Here's Axelrod on his ideas of some
people. He had, of course, the same concept. Axelrod is an
insider. So what was discussed last night talking points at a
meeting well, but he had different names.
So some names Kamla Harris, the Attorney General of California,
like
I said, Really Tamela Harris.
Pamela, she is the worst. I know. She was in San Francisco
as the city attorney. She wouldn't prosecute anything that
wasn't Rachel. She's a racist. She
names Kamala Harris, the Attorney General of California,
who's running for the Senate now, maybe Cory Booker,
Cory Booker, oh,
man, both splendid people. I'm sure there are justices. But why
not pick someone who's already been confirmed by the court
who's on the bench and who's clearly qualified and has been
rendered as such by the Senate. There
you go being rendered as such that's what's going to that's
how it's going to come down.
These people need to be rendered.
Couple of things though about about this death. Now, I find I
looked everywhere trying to find protocol. If a Supreme Court
justice dies, what is the protocol? How do you go about
doing things he was pronounced dead or not? He was within 10
minutes of the what I saw the first announcement of his
passing the every report said of natural causes, he died of
natural causes. And what's even more Interesting is that because
of where he was, which is on a ranch south of it's the Cibolo
Creek Ranch south of Marfa. There was no coroner available
to pronounce him dead. And so they they have this there's only
one corner per county or something like that. It's pretty
big state. Yeah, so the coroner they found pronounced him dead
through the phone. She hadn't actually seen him, but she
pronounced him dead.
He could be on the lam for all we know.
Well, do you know who owns this ranch? They know pretty much
well, worse, I guess. No. This is John Poindexter.
This is the John Poindexter owns a ranch. No. It's not the John
Poindexter you're thinking of no this is the this is the John
Poindexter who the very very close ties with the Republican
Party but it's also donated a lot to Democrats which has made
him kind of favourable unfavourable within the Texas
stronghold of Republicans. This is very interesting story about
how he got this ranch and but you know, it's a luxury ranch.
We're talking minimum $500 A night. It's a hotel his hotel
rooms is oh, it's hotel. It's a hotel. See? This
is part of what is a hotel.
It's a resort. It's a huge resort.
It's it's a dude ranch. It's
a very upscale dude ranch. And when you have someone dying in a
hotel room, you know, it's not like, oh, you know, we were just
all out there. We're having a good time camping and then he
died.
Yeah, this whole thing seems sketchy.
Yeah. And if, if we were to follow that logic, I could tell
you who I think it my logic then if you know, because of course
you're gonna give us a crackpot. I'm gonna give you a crackpot
theory for sure. Right? Let's go and give you a real good one.
Now, the first thing that I read everywhere is by the Democrats
killed him. So Obama can be better. Now, that would
be normal. Sure. Yes. Okay. And in that voice, too.
That's pretty much it. Now, my initial thinking was along the,
you know, the Aaron Sorkin lines is, yeah, this is the this is
the television industry. We have a tonne, more debates. We got
another What is it eight months to go
quick at TED two debates between the last show in this show.
But we need to keep the ratings we need to make the race more
exciting, John, if you and I could write anything. This is
exactly what we would have written right down to the timing
of it was it was getting a little stale mail. There's no
nothing new really being said at this moment. Oh, shots need to
be fired up. This thing is now amped up and ramped up. But I
think if I were just to give you some crackpot theory here, and I
call it watching the debate, and this happened right in the
beginning, Rubio separated by Bush, who just what a wet noodle
that guy is yet another thing to say. And then Cruz, and what
both of them were saying and then how it was moderated. And
it seemed like to me this was an ally loop. And I think I use the
term correctly. An ally between Rubio and Cruz. And I if I were
to crackpot, it I would say, Ted Cruz is responsible for killing
Scalia. And here is then here is the theory. So first, let's
listen to Rubio queried about Scalia's passing.
Let me first talk about Justice Scalia. And his loss is
tremendous. And obviously, our hearts and prayers go out to his
family, he will go down as one of the great justices in the
history of this republic. You talk about someone who defended
consistently the original meaning of the Constitution, who
understood that the Constitution was not there to be interpreted
based on the facts at the moment, but that they were there
that it was there to be interpreted. According to its
original meaning Justice Scalia understood that better than
anyone in the history of this republic. His dissent, for
example, on the independent count on the independent counsel
case, is a brilliant piece of juris work. And of course, that
so
far, he's talking about, you know, how, what a good lawyer he
was. And it's all about, you know, the original intent and
the importance of the original intent of the Constitution for
the Supreme Court to descend
on Obergefell as well. Number two, I do not believe the
President should appoint someone. And it's not
unprecedented. In fact, it's been over 80 years since the
lame duck president has appointed a Supreme Court
justice. And it reminds us of this, how important this
election is, thanks. I'm one on this stage, we'll get to choose
the balance of the Supreme Court. And then we'll begin by
filling this vacancy that's there now and we need to put
people on the bench that understand that the Constitution
is not a living and breathing document, it is to be
interpreted as originally meant.
Okay, so a couple things here first, using a microphone to
record that something went wrong with that, I'm sorry, something
went wrong. That's only it's only these two, the rest of the
good. Okay, so what Rubio is saying is, this is not
unprecedented. The 80 years since this, this has happened.
And somebody on this stage is going to be the guy who's going
to didn't say me, he said somebody on this stage is going
to be the guy Who is going to choose that that replacement?
Then then we go over to cruise. Now there was no interruption
about the 80 years. There's no question about that whatsoever.
Cruise picks this. Rubio didn't say didn't use this to
politicise it for himself. He just had someone on this stage
is the guy who will choose the next Supreme Court justice set
up. It's a set. That's the ads the setup of the aliens. So
he has the constitutional power, but you don't think he should?
Where do you set that date? If you're president? does it begin
in election year in December, November, September?
Once you set the date when you're president, will you abide
by
that date? So? So now we're actually going back into that at
your question, except Rubio got no pushback at all, from the
moderator nothing. This guy starts immediately questioning
Cruz about the date.
Well, we have 80 years of precedent of not confirming
Supreme Court justices in an election year. And let me say,
justice, Philly, I'm
sorry to interrupt.
Why didn't he interrupt Rubio with that? He didn't interrupt
Rubio when he said that no Cruz or any nominee appointed in an
election year, or is that just every two years eight
years of not confirming for example, LBJ nominated a Ford as
Fortis did did not know I think
Cruz was really thrown by this. I don't think he expected this
question. I think he if I were crackpot theory if it was a
script, what is this guy doing? interrupting the script
everything was going perfectly you could see his face even just
going wide
confirm he was defeated?
I'm not sure that I'll tell you why I don't think you may be
wrong
let me let me just finish and I want to hear you confirm nada
no, Kennedy was confirmed that 87 He was he was apparently he
was appointed me. That's the question. Is it a pointer
confirming in this case? It's both but if I could could answer
I just want to get the facts straight for the audience.
This is that was very weird. This just it's the duty 87 and
88 need to get the facts straight for the audience. Okay,
I apologise. That, by the way, I think was Kasich who was doing
that. That's that laugh. That cackle
60 doors. That was weird. Yeah.
Justice Scalia was a legal giant. He was somebody that I
knew for
20 years. What I said that sounds like he's you were
dropped right back to the script.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is sob he has it. It's been laid up. And
now we've we've just hammered home. He was
a brilliant man. He was faithful to the Constitution. He changed
the arc of American legal history. And I'll tell you his
passing tonight. Our prayers are with his family with his wife
Bahrain, who he adored is nine children is 36 grandkids, but it
underscores the stakes of this election. We are one justice
away from a Supreme Court that will strike down every
restriction on abortion adopted by the states. We are one
justice away from a Supreme Court that will reverse the
Heller decision, one of Justice Scalia seminal decisions that
upheld the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We
are one justice away from a Supreme Court that would
undermine the religious liberty of millions of Americans. Rubio
could have
easily said all this easily. This is he tried to say we came
up with different cases, ones that no one can do, at least
everyone knows kind of what Heller is about is about the
Second Amendment. Rubio had thing going on what he's talking
about. And here's Cruz hammering at home
and the stakes of this election for this year. For the Senate,
the Senate needs to stand strong and say we're not going to give
up the US Supreme Court for a generation by allowing Barack
Obama to make one more liberal appointee. And then, for the
state of South Carolina, one of the most important judgments for
the men and women of South Carolina to make is who on this
stage has the background, the principal, the character, the
judgement and the strength of resolve to nominate and confirm
principle constitutionalist to the court. That will be what I
will do if I'm elected president Shameless,
Shameless. I tell you
the same thing. Yeah. But he said, I am the guy. It was.
Sounds to me if we're gonna deal with only crackpot theory, not
only but this is one, I think only is a good idea. Why? I
think there's been a backroom deal and Rubio has been pulled
off the campaign.
Yeah, I agree with you. I think that the money shifted and he
set up crews, whether whether they killed Scalia or not, that
was a setup the same script the same 80 years anybody
killed Scalia would have been Rance Priebus. guy
he's creepy. Not creepy to Kasich, why was he laughing? Why
was he laughing? You probably like oh my god. He said, I'm
going oh my god, it's a script.
Then this is another one. Here's the only debate clip I have. And
the reason I have it is because it shows A couple of things. And
Trump already busted this out. On the last debate. This
audience was rigged. Oh, yeah, it was a bunch of donors when I
was put in. I have the actual
news report. I've been on a clip. Unfortunately, they didn't
they were supposed to have a lottery for the tickets. I think
it was 1600 tickets. They pulled the lottery and they were only
handed out to people. You could not get a ticket unless you were
connected. Yeah, yeah.
Yes, Rance previous is shill audience, because they're sick
of Trump to finally fed up. Because it's coming down.
There's a couple of political science professors on different
shows. And they were pointing out that we will know the
nominee of both parties in six weeks.
And what does why does that date of import? Well, that's
because that's going to be after Super Tuesday. That's what's
really going to cause the in March, there's going to be an
end there's going to be some wrangling right after those
those primaries are going to be the numbers are going to come
out that super delegates are already all in for Hillary. And
if you want to hear something very funny, I would like you I
have it. I have it. Debbie Schultz. You did you hear this?
Yeah, of course.
I'll play your version of the clip. Of course I heard this
this was beautiful. Set it up.
This is Harry Schultz was on Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Debbie
cakes. Schultz was on Jake Tapper. And she asked him to
decent question. And her explanation for why the super
delegates are all in why do they exist? Who is fixing these a
premises that with you know, everyone thinks that this is
gonna look like it's rigged? It's rigged for Hillary? Well,
what do you what do you tell people?
Well, it's even. It's even more interesting. Because I know what
I know this clip is coming. But you need to learn a new word.
Because she does something very, very sly. She doesn't use the
word super delegate. She uses the word unpledged delegate.
Right. She has a synonym. It's the same thing. Yeah, but it
sounds a little more friendly when you're in this situation.
Yeah, that was very good. Yes. Good. Good observation.
super delegates, these party insiders. What do you tell
voters who are new to the process? Who says this makes
them feel like it's all rigged?
Well, let me just make sure that I can clarify exactly what was
available.
This is I loved how she she starts. He's so flummoxed. But
let me just clarify how this I can say this to be clear. And
during them by the way, the answer is self contradictory.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'll just
let it play ailable.
during the primaries in Iowa, and in New Hampshire, the
unpledged delegates are a separate category. The only
thing available on the ballot in a primary and a caucus is the
pledged delegates, those that are tied to the candidate that
they are pledged to support and they receive a proportional
number of delegates going into the going into our convention.
unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders
and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they
are running against grassroots activists or we are, as a
Democratic Party really highlight and emphasise
inclusiveness and diversity at our convention. And so we want
to give every opportunity to grassroots activists and diverse
committed Democrats to be able to participate, attend and be a
delegate at the convention. And so we separate out those those
unpledged delegates to make sure that there isn't competition
between them. I'm not sure
that that would that answer would satisfy
an anxious young voter, but let's try.
So can you explain what the hell she just said? Because it was
very confusing.
He said initially, at the beginning of the little
argument, you could replay it again. A few people I knew it
might be worth playing again. She said, we have these
unpledged delegates to make sure that they have represented that
in case something goes wrong. And we get an we get some Bozo
who's a grassroots person. We need protection against them.
She said the protection we need to protect ourselves against
these crazy people that come out of the woodwork and they could
get in and we say we have this this is a cushion. It's
something that helps us maintain stability. And then somehow I
don't know what the transition is somehow she twists it to say
the reason that they exist is so these these crackpot unpleased
you know, these crackpot grassroots people have a voice.
Yeah.
Is a great that's a that's a nice way to turn it around.
I don't know how she managed it, but she did. He did. She did
it's very smoothly. It's very, but she but it was so nervous.
And it was in such a short timeframe that it became
apparent that she was just full of crap. She has a Hillary the
election is rigged. Yeah, it is. It is. It's gonna be just This
is gonna be one of the Democrats have done this before. And
what's going to happen is they
that was actually before that was actually my clip had that
bit of tapper in the beginning saying that people think it's
rigged.
Well my mind says it was a little off. I didn't hear it.
Okay. But yeah. So it's rigged. And this is what happened to 68
when we had the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Yeah. And there were riots. And it was riots broke out, head
cracking and the whole thing and if anybody was still a Democrat,
after they witnessed this, didn't go to the Republican
Party or someplace else that's safer. They were idiots. And
this is what's going to happen again, because Bernie has got
momentum. He's kicking Hillary's as every which way now that
everybody's coming out against her except for the establishment
people. They're all in. And it's just something to watch.
And right at the same time, which is going severely under
reported because of Scalia's death, the DNC Democratic
National Committee has decided to drop the ban on lobbyist and
super PAC money. Right, which was what President Obama
stopped. He said, we're going to change politics. We're not going
to have this big money in anymore. And oops, they dropped
they dropped it.
She got money. We'll take it. That's right. That's right.
Which brings us to a couple of clips from the two debates that
were that were between which so a
couple of days, three days and we've got to to to debate, I
get a lot of clips, but let's start with
that. Do you want to do that Republicans thing you had the
one clip from Republican or you want to save that?
Well, the one clip is there. Yeah. This is we're talking
about the Republican thing. The one this is the one thing that I
thought was epitomised the debate. It was a back and forth
between Cruz and Trump yelling at each other now, we're getting
nowhere and Trump being surrounded Lee booed during the
whole thing and, and he got a couple of shots and Trump did
but I think he was he was beaten down by the everyone's picking
on him. The audience hated him because they were brought in to
hate him and and he took it like a man and
there's no I haven't done the analysis myself. And I'm not
sure it's true. But there's a couple of people out there
who've done digital analysis and they say, you know, the boos
were loud louder for Trump and loud for Trump. The any applause
for him was, you know, 10 dog visits lower and it seemed like
it was canned applause that was coming out. And I don't know if
that's true, but could be to be could be.
This is it right now today as a candidate, he supports federal
taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. I disagree with him
on that. That's a matter of principle and
liar. You probably are worse than Jeb Bush, who are the
single biggest. Alright, this guy lied. Let me just say this
guy lied about Ben Carson when he took votes away from Ben
Carson in Iowa. And he just continues. And today we had
robocalls saying Donald Trump is not going to run in South
Carolina where I'm leading by a lot. I'm not going to vote vote
for Ted Cruz. This is the same thing he did to Ben Carson. This
guy will say anything. nasty guy now I know why he doesn't have
one endorsement from any of his colleagues. I got John. From the
buffet. There's a nasty guy
I will say. I will say it is fairly remarkable to see Donald
defending ban aft after he called him pathological and
compared him to a child molester, both of which were
offensive and wrong. But But let me say more broadly, you notice
Donald didn't disagree with the substance that he supports
taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, and Donald has this
weird pattern. When you point to his own record, he screams Liar,
liar, liar. If you want to go where you want to go, why did I
watch the video go to our website, Ted cruz.org. Out of
the mouth, when we support you supported it when we were
battling over defunding Planned Parenthood, you went on
television, then Planned Parenthood does wonderful
things. And we should not defund it does
do wonderful things, but not as it relates to abortion. It's
okay, what is it? What are the wonderful kids because there are
wonderful things having to do with women's health. You say
that when it comes to abortion, the reason principle matters,
sadly was illustrated by the first questions today the next
president is going to appoint 1234 Supreme Court justices. If
Donald Trump is president, he will appoint liberals if Donald
Trump is your Second Amendment.
It was pretty good.
Yeah, I liked it. But Trump said hey, you know, I grew up I'm
older now. I've learned I've changed my ideas a bit. He also
was asked about profanity.
The you got that clear as a profanity thing because he's
been cussing a lot There's a view played at the end. I think
it was. Yeah. The Yeah. And they're now there. Think of the
children.
Listen to this
Iran talk and no action. And that's why people are supporting
me. I do listen to people, I hire experts. I hire top top
people. And I do listen. And you know what, sometimes they're
wrong. You have to know what to do when to do it. But sometimes
they're
wrong. Something in talking to voters that they wish somebody
would tell you to cut it out, is the profanity. What's your
reaction? Over the years,
I've made many speeches, people have asked me, the companies
have asked me to make speeches and friends of mine that run big
companies on success. And on occasion, in order to sort of
really highlight something, I use a profanity. One of the
profanities that I got credited with using that I didn't use was
a very bad word two weeks ago that I never used. I said, you
and everybody said, Oh, he didn't say anything. Well, but
you believed it.
That that was interesting. That was another one of his little
insights into what's going on in the media. Didn't really do.
That's a good one.
The one who was at that bleeped it,
I think it was CBS and he even pointed he was he was motioning
like CBS did that. So he did.
I wouldn't be surprised if we've said we as we did the three by
three who's backing who and CBS is not backing the Republicans
though. No, definitely not backing Trump. So this thing
would be slanted away from him, then they would be they would be
the one CBS would be the ones that were sweetening the sound
of the audio
that's really not cool. And that is really, really not cool to do
that, because that's what he said
is I CBS has done this historical really, there was a
moment in time during the 60 Minute era when he would was
running. It was really a hot show. It was always a good show,
where they show with somebody else. I can't remember this
during the Reagan administration. And they they
had some guy dogging some somebody's interview. And then
they showed him the unedited version versus the edited
version that ran on the show. And it was like, the meanings
and everything had changed drastically right? Of what they
put on the show and how they
edited it. Yeah, they pull out a copy. You can do that. Yeah.
But that's why a lot of people demand unedited, in a way you
don't do that. We won't let pigeons Yak and Yak
right. And but this was just him on stage and it's the equivalent
of fu but even the F was silent. They just bleeped it. So sound
like you said the full word. That's crazy.
Yeah, this reminds us the Jimmy Kimmel bit.
Exactly. Yeah. Whenever he doesn't just bleeps a whole
bunch of things. And it always sounds dirty.
Something that ends up with a hard K sound. It sounds like the
guy said, you know and it so it Kimball's. It's called This Week
in unneeded censorship or something. But it's very it's on
Thursday nights, I believe right after our show. And it is
phenomenal. Sometimes it's like, holy crap. It sounds just like
describing, you know, some sexual act. And by the by the
judicious bleeping just
a quick aside, I found something else that relates to the
previous debate. You recall that Trump was talking, they were
talking about eminent domain, eminent domain, eminent domain
was back. And finally, why are they talking about eminent
domain? And this is when he was in Iowa. The reason why there's
a huge eminent domain dispute in Iowa right now for an 1100 mile
crude pipe oil pipeline. From it's another it's another
pipeline is not the key Keystone, obviously
10s of 1000s of pipeline, right.
So he was pandering, quote, unquote, to a certain
demographic in Iowa because eminent domain. This is like
300, Iowa landowners who
didn't go on right. They ended his speech was very, yeah, so
so this is the whole eminent domain thing. It was local to
Iowa. That's why it came up.
Okay,
yeah. Who knew? Oh, no.
Well, they were seemingly against it. And I think anything
he got more votes from with that approach, but I guess not my
Alright, so let's switch over to the Democrats. Okay. And so last
night was a was a event. Last night was Republican basic two
nights ago, there's an event and the best part of it was this bit
here. This is the DEM debate clip with the back and fourth
about Henry Kissinger, where the Secretary
and I have a very profound difference in the last debate,
and I believe in her book, very good book, by the way, in her
book, and in this last debate, she talked about getting the
approval or the support, or the mentoring of Henry Kissinger.
Now I find it rather amazing because I happen to believe that
Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries
substate in the modern history of this country. I am proud to
say that Henry Kissinger is not my friend. I will not take
advice from Henry Kissinger. And in fact, Kissinger's actions in
Cambodia. When the United States bombed that country overthrow
Prince Seto created the instability for Pol Pot and the
Khmer Rouge to come in. Who then bush
I love the Camier Rouge about Mer Rouge. Comair, Rouge.
Emir reopened through Prince co created the instability for Pol
Pot and the Khmer Rouge to come in, or then butchered some
million innocent people, one of the worst genocides in the
history of the world. So come in as somebody who will not be
listening to Henry Kissinger snapper.
Well, I know journalists have asked you to listen to on
foreign policy and yet to know who that is.
Yes, all right. One liner, and it's a good one. It's a good
one.
So on Democracy Now, which is clearly pro Bernie, and then not
on board with Hillary, they kept bringing these people on that
would give him these analyses that were absolutely fantastic.
And they did one with this guy, who did the analysis of the
Henry Kissinger bit, including the the notion that Henry
Kissinger was the one who kind of really was the proponent of
regime change, and then pointed out that this is pretty much
everything that he's the
article is all about architect of it, the of the whole concept.
And let's see what we got here. Let's play. I don't know, I have
a couple of clips from democracy. Now. Let's play the
Democracy Now. Party report on Bernie Sanders
Professor Matt Karp, you say that the Democratic Party leader
has thrown its full weight behind Hillary Clinton. How is
this reflected in super delegates? And do you think how
do you see this is any different than when Barack Obama first
announced he was running for President started the primary
caucus process?
Well, well, I think it's very different. I think if you sort
of zoom out and look at how the Sanders campaign compares to
previous sort of insurgent Democratic campaigns in recent
memory, I think there are three ways that it really diverges.
First, Sanders is ideologically, significantly the left of
Clinton and of in some ways, the mainstream of the elected
Democratic Party, at least not just, you know, one tick, but I
think, you know, his rejection of the sort of New Democrat
approach business friendly economics, and an embrace of a
kind of older populism is really a distinct break. And something
that we haven't seen from another candidate in this
position, you know, since probably Jesse Jackson.
Secondly, when we worked with exactly second, Sanders has won
a lot more popular support than a lot of sort of underdog
candidates to this point of thinking about his historic
donor base, which, you know, has three times the number of people
that Obama donors that Obama had recorded up to this point. And,
you know, he's done better in the early states than Obama has
done than Obama even had done and in the national polls, he
has 37% of the vote, which is higher than Obama, of course,
Obama was running against John Edwards to, but Sanders has done
really well. And the third thing, then is the sort of total
absence of support from the party, which is not at all
comparable to Obama or any previous sort of underdog
candidate at this point. I mean, you mentioned the over 350 super
delegates who committed to Clinton, when the Associated
Press did the survey of super delegates in November, they
found eight super delegates who were committed to Sanders and of
those fully 1/8 were Bernie Sanders. You know, as a senator,
he is a super delegate. So 13% of his super delegate coalition
is himself. And this is really striking. I mean, Barry Obama
had over 60 super delegates at this point in his camps, Bill
Richardson had 25 super delegates in his camp at this
point. So those three factors and a candidate who comes
ideologically makes an ideological break with the party
who has done really well sort of from the bottom up in terms of
winning popular support, and has virtually zero backing within
the party, create a situation that I think is going to put the
system to the test in a way that the 2008 campaign didn't
necessarily do.
Well, since they're all in on Bernie maybe I should play a
quick little clip from Susan Sarandon
vocal Bernie supporter on the campaign trail. He does
Yes, I've been when I went to Iowa, I was so moved by the
people in Iowa that want to be to reinvest in this country and
and really want to believe and and he has really concrete, very
simple, you know, FDR kind of plans that are totally possible
and should be done. I give you Bernie Sanders You're gonna get
what she's, she's crazy man.
Give you Well, yes. He has balls, John's balls, balls.
Balls,
by the way is my prediction. You can take this to the bank
because of Bernie's. You can take massive response in the
audience of this last debate. They're going to rig the
audience just did it take the rig the
audience. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's a lot of rigging going
on. If you have a second here. We've had some, you know, kind
of schmeer. schmeer is against Cruz, and smears against
Clinton. And the one that I think is right now is cool to
listen to. This video that's being sent around and is very
easy to trace where this is coming from is obviously being
propagated the formula about and I think you'll like this, you
know, the statement that Hillary Clinton made saying, I've never
changed my vote based upon a donation. And so now this is
eight minute video it cut it down to about a minute 15 of the
pertinent part. It's an interview from 2004. With I have
to say kind of good looking. Elizabeth Warren, I don't know
what happened, man. 1012 years. Kid, I've kind of round you
know, cute face and kind of, like 60s hair do it looks really
good. And this was I think, with the guy from face, the nation or
something this interview. And here's what she said, and this
is supposed to serve as proof that she did change her. That
money did change her vote presence in the
industry. And because of her,
President Clinton had been showing that this was another
way that he could be helpful to business. It wasn't a very high
visibility bill.
This is about the credit of the first Consumer Protection Act.
This is when she was on the quote unquote, war path. Yes,
consumer protection, something she's done nothing. Yes.
And when Mrs. Clinton came back with a little better
understanding of how it all worked, they reversed course,
and they reversed course fast.
Now, what you didn't hear is this whole long story of how
Hillary said come and meet me. They met after some event that
they had hamburgers together in a room alone. And she's and
Elizabeth Warren said, you know, this is really bad. You've got
you don't understand what's going on. You've got to stop.
You have to stop this bill. We have to we I'm sorry, you have
to pass this bill. And we have to get this through. People need
protection. So and then Hillary went, Okay, that's really good.
And
indeed, the proof is in the pudding. The last bill that came
before President Clinton was that bankruptcy bill that was
passed by the House in the Senate in 2000. And he vetoed
it. And in her autobiography, Mrs. Clinton took credit for
that veto, and she rightly should. She turned around a
whole administration on the subject of bankruptcy. She got
it. And then one of the first bills that came up after she was
Senator Clinton was the bankruptcy bill. This is a bill
that's like a vampire. It will not die, right. There's a lot of
money behind it and her husband had vetoed, her husband had
vetoed it very much at her urging, and she voted in favour
of it.
Oops, okay, so that's out there. Not as imaginative though as the
anti Cruz campaign, which I caught. The first clip I caught
on the Morning Joe show
that ad from the Cruz campaign hitting Marco Rubio on the
question of immigration.
I voted for a guy who was a tea party hero on the campaign trail
nanny went to DC and played patty cake with Chuck Schumer
and cut a deal on amnesty. Does that make you angry? Angry?
Makes me feel dumb for trusting them.
Maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next
time.
All right. Apparently there was a problem there. Bill that the
woman who delivered the key line that we just saw. Former porn
star.
Okay, did you hear about this story? Yeah, okay. Yeah, former
porn star former porn. They fired her former porn.
be hypocritical. Who care you know?
Wait, but wait, wait. Because when I hear porn star, I think
to the Googles? Who is this porn star? What movies are she and
what has she done? Is she a three input I need to know
what's going on with this porn star. Luckily, Jake Tapper to
the rescue
also had roles in some steamy Dare I say erotic films films
with titles such as carnal wishes, insatiable desires, and
of course the classic time gate tails of the saddle tramps,
though to be fair to miss Lindsay classic.
Wait for it listen to
old tramps, though to be fair to miss Lindsay. She is a working
actress. She has also been on Star Trek Voyager. And joining
me now is Amy Lindsey, the actress of the centre of all
this brouhaha. Amy, thanks so much for joining us. the Cruz
campaign says that they cast the ad in an open casting call and
they say you were not properly vetted. How did you get involved
in the ad? Was this just a gay Edgar, are you or were you a
crew supporter?
It was a gig that I absolutely. When I got the, of what the
campaign was going to be about, I knew that it was supporting a
Republican candidate, which is definitely what I'm doing. And I
thought the writing was smart. I thought it was snappy. I did not
know who it was for. But I do identify myself as the
conservative Republican. So I knew it was something that I
could I could get behind and support
it now. Also, to be fair, I mean, this wasn't like if you
have not been, as far as I know, in any like truly explicit,
explicit films. This is more kind of like late nights Cinemax
kind of stuff.
It's just he's, he's this is. This is like Red Shoe Diaries.
It's like Red Shoe Diaries. He barely even naked in these
things. Yeah, all you see is breast porn star porn star porn
star. No, no, not a porn star.
Oh, there's just lies. Yeah.
But you know that it's out there. Now. You can't take that
back. She's a porn star.
That's good to go. Yeah. And that's just that's obviously a
smear against ruse. Yeah, exactly. Good one, though. And
then would make it worse as they fire her.
It's so stupid. And she's and she's gonna
ask the question what they fired her from what? It wasn't just a
one shot commercial. There was gonna be a string of them. I
don't Yes. I'm not sure. I think the firing things a lie to
ya. I think they just pulled the ad. There's no firing. It's just
they pull. They pull the she did this thing months ago. She did
the ad months ago. She didn't even know who it was for. But
interestingly, she's cute. She's very well spoken. She's a
Republican. She's very conservative. And she looks
forward to talking about her views. During the election, I'm
sure Jake Tapper is going to have her back on that guy was
sporting would throughout the whole interview.
Yeah, to see it in the show notes. Creep.
So you don't mind showing you?
Hey, I shot that one movie. Really good.
I checked all these films out. I did some research and weren't
that bad. Yeah,
they are. No, they're just seen a late night Cinemax. And then
no big problem.
Here, we could do one more.
Yeah. I know. I've been looking for a kind of a semi unknown for
my next feature. Of your vein, right.
Let's get back to the blasting of Hillary. With this with this
segment again, on Democracy Now Hillary and the professor. Okay.
Let me set it up. There's this guy, that guy that apparently
the Black Caucus pack, which is not the Black Caucus of
Congress, which is every all the black people that are in
Congress. But the Black Caucus pack, which is a separate little
independent operation, made an announcement that they're
supporting Hillary, and they made a big as though it was the
Black Caucus and a couple of other people in the Black
Caucus, including some Democrats supporting her. What is this?
What do you misleading the public for but they were
misleading the publisher, they had spokes hole for the
operation on the again, he's a big Hillary black black guy for
Hillary. And he was a novice, like, establishment guy. Oh,
totally. Yeah. He's going on and on. And so they cut from him to
this professor who just read them the riot act about Hillary
of the
State Department and the Hillary Clinton and under President
Barack Obama, which is a huge change and what it was
previously represent any change that is not accurate.
Does that represent change?
I'll tell you who she sat down with. I would encourage viewers
to go back to the New York Times a couple of weeks ago when they
unveiled what many of us knew, which was the secret deal of
Saudi Arabia and the CIA to fund the destabilisation of Syria.
That's who Hillary Clinton sat down with with the CIA and with
Saudi Arabia. And the bloodbath that we have underway right now
is irresponsible. Wow. And it's the same talk to NATO. And it's
the same kind of irresponsibility of going into
take out Qaddafi and then leaving a civil war and ISIS in
Libya. And it's the same here responsibility of going into
take out Saddam Hussein. This is a repeated Military Industrial
Complex CIA led coup change. And it's bipartisan. That is the
land of unconfirmed it. Yes. We came. We saw the die. Lady big
death.
And there you have it.
Yeah. Wow. So that was the professor who was in the studio.
Yeah, that was he was great.
Oh, he went on. He is thinking about he also did a thing about
the Kissinger. So then he I don't have
it, but it pretty much accused Hillary Clinton of being
responsible for the despair in Syria. Yeah, that's great. And
was there steam coming out of Amy Goodman ahead or
No, no, she loved it. She loved it. Yeah, she like she cut the
other guys. Oh, she is all for Bernie, because Bernie is a true
progressive and she has to. Now the guy also went into a couple
of different rants. It was really quite a good show people
should check it out. And it was from last Thursday, probably.
And it was he just, he said at one point that we're all this so
called experience that Hillary claims to have is all based on
her being told what to do by Kissinger. Yeah.
Which he admitted freely. Yeah. Anyway, this sort of shown a
throne of sorrows in there just for good measure.
Soros did come up in the one of the I didn't clip it, but I
don't think Soros came up as there's two people that are
supporting Hillary Soros and some other guy, I can't remember
his name, but it's some name doesn't crop up a lot. And their
response, or one of these 15 million, or 15 was more than 15
million is quite a bit of money past super PAC, and it's Soros
and this other guy. And this was brought up in the debate. And
Bernie says that there's a good example right there. I mean, I
don't have any super PACs, and I don't want one, right. And she
also meant that he said, though, I gotta reiterate this because
they dawned on me when when he said it, he said, then I've got
3 million people that are giving us money. And Hillary jumps in,
you know, and goes, Oh, right. 750,000 people who are giving us
money, and now I realised that that three times a day
solicitation that I get from their campaigns are chipping on
$1 or shipping $1 You put
the dollar in and now touching you're now on that list. i This
helps you get to 750 which is not you know, she's gotten
750 1000 people that gave $1
dollar dollar give me $1 For the thought.
Give me $1 Yeah, his constant hounding for the dollar. As Dan,
you get to be put on the list. You know, I've lived another
donor.
There's something on the horizon donor or something on the
horizon. Do you remember the DC madam? Oh, yeah, the DC madam.
The she was the very famous Yes, she was the MME, and she served
a lot of politicians and high ranking officials, and they
never did get her black book that day.
Well, her lawyer Blair Sibley, who represented the DC, madam.
He is now He's filed a court case, because he is he cannot
talk about the case. But he feels that it is now time. It is
permissible and it is needed to release records that the court
holds and that he has knowledge of, and his quote in the media
is the names in her records could be relevant to this
presidential election. What well
that could be fine. What would that what does it what do you
interpret that to me? There's only two three, it won't have
Trump's name in it won't have Trump's name. And I N Cruz's new
he came after she? I believe he's him and Rubio, I believe
came after that. Can you see madam? I'm pretty sure yeah. And
so they won't be in it? I don't know. case it's not in
Washington, DC so he wouldn't be in it. Now. The two people that
did might apply to are Bernie Sanders and Hillary more
importantly, Hillary Clinton. Hillary Yeah. Yep. That would be
my guess it's about Hillary because I think it seems as
though the even though the democratic state at the time
let's put it this way. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Debbie Deb.
She is the one that is promoting the president Shoal. Win for
Hillary. Yeah, she she wants that she's almost her job.
It's her job.
It's her. It's her job, but somebody's decided that Hillary
is going to be the establishment candidate and corrupt
candidates. There's like you said when you were visiting the
area a few years ago, they're not gonna know the real powers
the real powers the intelligence community the inside do not like
her secret service bureaucrats know the people that are there
already and that you don't want
those are all these stores as a Laker and there's all these
stories now about her and whom Aberdeen the Houma just, this is
more about special secret service and how they're
complaining about how much they hate Hillary and her her
personal aide her body man as it's known who might Aberdeen
and now the story is circulating that there was some event and
she had to get in and of course she was Hillary's whatever.
Special Assistant she didn't have her credentials and they
said, No, you can't get in you know, you don't have the right
credentials. And of course her response was, Do you know who I
am?
I find these stories hard to believe I don't.
I find it hard to believe it. Okay, I guess you You heard I've
heard people say that millions. Oh, no. Yeah,
I know people that said it. Yeah.
Total douchey. And of course now Debbie Wasserman Schultz is
fighting Bill Clinton. Is he's not have been you not very
helpful.
You know, cleanse his own man. You have to agree at this point.
He's near death. Yes, it's
sadly. And it's right on schedule. John. It's right on
schedule
is insane. It seems like he's like his zone. And he likes to
go in front of audiences and Yak forever. And say he likes to
talk. He's a talker.
He likes to say stuff like gift of gab. He likes to say stuff
like this.
He's always making some good. He's changed my forever. A lot
of people say Oh, well, you don't understand is different
now. It's rigged. Yeah. It's
rigged because you don't have a president. He's a change maker.
He said,
referring to Obama, yes. You don't have a recent speech? This
is this earlier than the rain this guy.
That's the kind of problematic, isn't it?
Yeah, holy crap,
I have to revert back. I mean, this would solve so my bill
would would die as hate to say it. This would change so much.
If brands can do the job on the other side. Yeah, if you if you
can do it. Better get it, get our ship out. All you have to
do is just go up the bill and see what happens. Take a limb
and I like the guy. But this this is almost cruel to have him
speaking in public in
this game in the sense that he's like a mafia don. That is some,
like the public face, even though he's behind the scenes.
He's not a guy you want to hang out. And we
all know he's been shot a couple times. You know, it's like,
yeah, he's he's wounded, but he's still he's the dawn. But
he's not following the script. And maybe he's maybe we should
analyse what he's saying more closely. Maybe he's crying out
for help, subconsciously. I gotta listen to more of what
because he sounds so bad, John, if it doesn't sound good. It's
really straining. He looks like crap. Because people are now
making, you know, GIFs of him. The animated GIFs the him just
go who's staring into space? It's really It's so sad. It's
cruel. It's cruel.
Well, you can Oh, man. Well,
I don't think Scalia was unhealthy.
Yeah, but he was 79. So you can get even though that's actually
not that
old for? That's not at all. That's not all at all.
I mean, look at the David Rockefeller, the guy is 99 or
something. Yeah, it's a Okay. Well, let's just assume that
Scalia was killed. Okay. And that Clinton's on somebody's hit
list, it's going to happen? Well, we've already said this. I
mean, I think two or three years ago, we predicted this. Yes. I
didn't know he's saying screwball stuff. It's not party
line.
Yeah, he's not saying good. That's not cool.
At all. For him now.
Also one of our producers called Alex Ross on NPR. Do you
remember Alex Ross? He was the, like, Silicon Valley whiz kid.
Who was Hillary's? Chief?
Yeah, you will do Oh, yeah, that
guy Chief Information guy the tank.
There's a hotshot, big hotshot. wunderkin
wonder can't exactly, exactly. So he was asked, because of
course, he was in charge of all things digital interactive. When
Hillary was at the State Department. He was he was the
leader of the all internets, the techno experts, et cetera. And
of course, he's asked a very pertinent question
being known as Secretary Clinton's tech guru, of course,
raises the question, I'm
sorry, tech guru, I should have gotten right. Tech girl
being known as Secretary Clinton's tech guru, of course,
raises a question in many people's minds. What about that
server?
Yeah, that wasn't me. That was the other guy. No, I know,
seriousness, you know, what's what's what's funny is it's not
fun. Most of us had no idea. It was a private email server. You
know, lots of lots of powerful people have sort of obscured
email addresses, like Barack Obama is not I'll give you a
hint. His email address is not baroque period.
obama@whitehouse.gov. And so maybe I'm an idiot, and maybe
many of my colleagues and I were idiots, but we didn't
necessarily know it was a personal server of hers. And my
focus when I was travelling around the world was less on,
you know, putting servers in people's basements or doing sort
of the internal it then it was figuring out how we could
address Nash nasty national security problems using these
using these technologies.
So he throws his own buddies under the bus. They're kind of
it's a was the other guy named. That's right. We'll get a dude
named Ben. We'll hang him up some that some point in the
future.
They will. But
now what was he saying? No. Was he saying that the President's
email address is is something that maybe there's like a, like
aol.com or Hotmail because it's, you know, maybe be POTUS 44. At
Hotmail?
There'll be some corny, that's for sure. Yeah. And
then to say, well, I guess we're just idiots. But yeah, if you I
mean, do you not see the email address ever? I mean, that this
is this is the tech guru. Oh, no. Okay.
Yeah, that's a good point.
I was in charge of that. Then you were worried. Look, we just
did you send it it wasn't like didn't say be done. Obama. Well,
Doug. Yeah. Ah,
not the guy had some some
clue now. While he may. But he's not talking anymore on these on
these debates, which are becoming very annoying to me.
Yeah.
Well, they're annoying to everybody. I'm sure. I don't
think that recent booing of Trump is going to have much of
an effect because I want to say especially you had the we had
that debate. I believe it was up against a slam dunk competition
for the All Star Game of the NBA. And as you know, and I'm
not going to say anything racial, but since I watched it,
but I think any black person in South Carolina if they had a
choice between watching some basketball quality basketball
slam dunks the whites to well, let's
see we have for last night's Republican debate. It looks like
a 9.3 household rating on the overnight that is going to be
I'm gonna say 13 14 million people.
Now CBS so at least it wasn't a cable station and they
had real ads unlike the on CNN and you know, and other cable
news channels, man, there was boom, boom, boom, big ads. They
went big. You know, you remember Les Moonves is really happy
about this. And we had that from, from his little conference
call with the investors how happy Oh, please call each other
names better for us. And they so they pre sold this big. They
made a lot of money last night?
Well, I don't know who I I don't know how many people in South
Carolina watched it? Which I think is the Okay, what you
want.
But, okay. We will.
Oh, a couple more things. Hold on.
There's only 20 More of these debates. So don't hold it as
best we can.
Damn, I left my notes in the living room. I needed to just
ask you what your feeling was from a production standpoint. We
had two things I noticed Who was the woman who got to ask
questions without in the long face.
on CBS. Yeah, she was like she was
she got to ask a couple question. I don't know. She had
the worst lipsmack in the world.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Trump and whoever designed the set and thought that was a
good background colour should be fired. Orange
well, it began you think about it Yeah.
Make make make Trump bleed away into the background with his
orange head.
He has orange had an orange orange is not a peaceful colour
orange is no orange he had a guy one time when I was at Tech TV
we guys doing silicon spin. We had this bullet bullet for years
couple years. We had this boring blue set that I kept bitching
about I was a clue as in chroma key blue or just blue? No, no,
it was like a it was like a baby blue as a pale blue. And we were
keyed on green green. Yeah. So they it was his baby blue and
stupid. And it just looked it was like worse than PVS when in
his worst era of news or with that blue. I kept complaining
about well can we change this and can we do something and I
was pushing for what I still liked the most which is the
what's called the Abyss which is using a black neutrally this
cloth is felt that you surround a set with and that's what a
Charlie Rose uses. So you have no there's no set. It's just
like yes, infinity. It's called an abyss. And it's a cool thing
to to take pictures against and everything because there's
nothing there. You know, the camera just can't pick it up.
And I was told that music magicians especially the ones in
Las Vegas use this
stuff for all their extreme Sleight of hands.
You can't see it. It's like it's invisible. So the guy that it
was the production manager of the whole operation. He got sick
of listening to me complain he stole Okay, we're gonna fix the
set. So He himself came in one weekend and painted the set
orange.
He was pissed that you like I'll get that guy be I'll get that
guy
come in I go What is this? And so we had one so the days of
this orange, orange and red set we had some redhead woman come
in and I swear to God she looked bald on this set excellent
that one all right do
we have any more on these debates? Are
we done and done I don't see anything else on the list. Well
in that case, let me thank you for your courage and passion and
say the morning to you John C. Where the C stands for chroma
key me in green DeVore Ack.

a couple of that was see Dame Jamie I think then I saw a meet
up there. So get these meetups go on people. It's nice
meetup.com/no agenda. And indeed, we will be thanking
people in our regular donation segment. And of course we have
another show coming up on Thursday. Remember us
to bora.org/and A and before we
get to that clip, which is from my daughter, I guess be out
there propagating the formula, please. Our formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth citizen
Shut up. Okay.
All right. Well, here's a Valentine's Day clip. It was on
PBS. It's news as a news item. And I think she should listen to
listen to this clip and reevaluate her take on
Valentine's. Okay.
And on this Valentine's Day weekend, police in Iran have
declared a crackdown. They say retailers who run Valentine's
promotions will be charged with promoting decadent western
culture. In particular, that means no special events at
coffee or ice cream shops where young lovers might exchange
gifts.
Daz bastards
bastards indeed I'm
gonna agree with it is a fake phoney baloney holiday, but it's
a tradition. It's a ritual. You can't you just can't kick it to
the curb. Now, of course, of course. Hallmark would be out of
business.
Well, they Yes. Correct. And they do good work.
So a little piece of paper for two bucks. You know, it was an
envelope that fits into
we had a lot happening in Geneva. And we already heard
that there was a ceasefire probably planned for March 1.
But this seems to be there seems to be a lot of confusion about
exactly what is going on and what what is happening and who's
in charge. By have here. There was also Assad Bashir Assad did
a did an interview. Let me see. First I have the Saudi foreign
minister so everyone was over out there in Geneva. And
besides, you know, the talks, which are kind of they're not
there, they're in hotels, and everyone's doing interviews. And
the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia was a very well spoken
English speaker. He's quite clear what their stances towards
Saudi Arabia at the moment and we know Saudi Arabia has clearly
communicated they are ready to invade Syria put boots on the
ground
in Syria. We are working to bring about change, political
change, if possible, to what is happening in Syria in order to
remove a man who is responsible for the murder of 300,000
people, the displacement of 12 million and the destruction of a
nation, a man who has who is the single most effective magnet for
extremists and terrorists in the region. Carrie
is that's what you would think it'd be Nudelman. Kagan carry
no, he's talking about Assad. Assad gave an interview to AFP.
I was on phones First, and he made it even more confusing than
not many men, and we have fully
believed in negotiations and in political action since the
beginning of this crisis. However, if we negotiate, it
does not mean that we stopped fighting terrorism or winning,
the two tracks are inevitable in Syria, the first three
negotiations were in second through fighting terrorism.
Okay, that is something that is not being highlighted very much.
But this deal this apparent ceasefire is just a ceasefire
for what the Russians may be doing. But it is not by any
means a ceasefire against terrorism. But of course, we
know a lot of these terrorist groups are the opposition that
the United States has been been supplying with weapons, and I'm
sure funding etc. Those are our guys. So what they're saying is,
yeah, we're willing to stop fighting, but we're not going to
stop fighting terrorism, which is kind of the same thing. The
fighting would just continue, it seems like a lot of, you know,
set dressing. So Kerry, gave his opinion, a little stand up
speech,
the vast majority, in our opinion of Russia's attacks have
been against legitimate opposition groups. And to adhere
to the agreement that has been made. We think it is critical
that Russia is targeting change, and the entire ISSG, including
Russia, has agreed to work to make that happen.
This needed a response from Foreign Minister Lavrov of
Russia,
simply saying without any foundation for five months, that
we are doing something wrong, and refusing strongly to sit
down using maps and look at facts is not an approach it is
propaganda. Propaganda was popular at Soviet in Soviet
times in our country. Right now. We have abandoned this practice,
but it seems that a lot of manifestations of such trends is
still present in mass media in other countries. I believe this
is a British media that to an interview from Ban Ki Moon and
publish this interview with unscrupulous perversions of what
is said. He never mentioned Russia, he just called for the
end of any actions that lead to sufferings of civilians, the
interviewer allowed himself to put into the mouth of the UN
Secretary General these statements that he was saying
all those things about Russia. So yes, they are allies.
Okay. So this, obviously, that was Lavrov was speaking in
Russian. So that's why the translation what happened is the
Financial Times the London's Financial Times did an interview
with bunkie moon, where he was talking about, you know, all
kinds of situations, things that need to be, you know, that
certain parties need to do certain things, but he was very,
did not say that he was speaking about Russia, and they published
it saying he was clearly talking about Russia. And so it was this
big blow up and for ft to do that. That was I'd say
propagandistic and that's what laterals also
douchebag is Sherry, douche baggy?
And, you know, bunkie, Moon had to come out and say something
and artists from our State Department. Well, that's what he
said. He said, it's crazy to accuse us of being propagandist
when Look who's doing the very same thing. And then we had a
little statement from Lavrov, which was, you know, in English
because he's really just laying down the line. Now,
my point is, you should not demonise us it. You shouldn't
demonise anyone except terrorists in Syria, and the
humanitarian issues must be resolved through cooperation,
mind you to say unless all humanitarian problems are over,
unless violence stops completely we're not going to negotiate is
a road to nowhere. It's a blunt provocation.
Like what is it is a road to nowhere is the road to nowhere?
It made me think
I thought maybe I saw that. Let me I spell it. If you've
confused me I was perfectly in time. Here we go. Ally. So it
here here we go.
Is the road to nowhere. Blonde provocation is a road to
nowhere. Blonde provocation.
Anyway, back to MTV roots.
Yeah, yeah.
So it is a road to nowhere. Yeah, nothing is going to
happen. It is going to be some set dressing of some kind. Or
they
keep trying to pull these stunts it's a lot of it has to do the
State Department's completely out of control. And the dead
curvy guys just gotta go that guy just get anything from
clothes and be a four star Admiral. He has all the earmarks
of like a Navy Captain, the guys who run the ships I've talked
about this before. or yeah and Did you get anything
already arrogant to get anything on him anything good on what I
read from Kirby yeah any clips Kirby's always kind of cool see
I got the want to change the topic a little bit okay last you
know it says we're on propaganda let's change the topic in this
direction let's play their North Korean rocket This is report of
a CBS and they're going to talk about demonising and propaganda
this whole rocket thing from North Korea has been just
completely bogus all bullshit
they say they launched a satellite that's what they say
yeah.
These suppose the according to us it's flipping around. It's
like it took a picture
of the Super Bowl.
They went over the Super Bowl there was there was something Oh
look a
picture from them then okay, fine, whatever.
So play Korea North Korean rocket one for the propaganda
but it's just just as so wet more weapons to South Korea
military industrial complex as confirmed by my uncle Don.
Tonight the US and Pacific allies are considering how to
respond to North Korea's latest missile launch. The missile
reached orbit but in theory could have easily reached the
United States as well. The theory these tests and here's
David Martin.
The North Korean launch which was watched by Express young
leaders succeeded in putting a satellite into space, but US
officials
this listen the propagandistic term right there. It was watched
by his by his brash, young, brash, brash, yeah, why don't
they just use his name? And he's not that young. How old is he?
He's not like 12 Okay, so let's just keep the gatekeeping run
and keep the propaganda and turn away, brash young leader and
then they have some B roll, the guy sitting at a desk,
which was watched by its brash young leader succeeded in
putting a satellite into space
that is in an odd, very, that's propagandistic. Extremely is
that the end of that clip? That's the end of that clip. But
then we go
the second part where they were the guy does a little more uses
news media all in with the State Department, you know, or whoever
they are the defence department, I'm not sure who they're
pitching for the just demonise this, this this operation and
then consider it oh, they gave built a missile maybe there was
a set put a satellite that because No, no, no, cooperate
with them and let them look, you know, they're not evil that
sending up Space X satellite, you know, they may have they
have us everyone has uses for satellites, or is cut out,
because they didn't so they have to do their own missile probes.
So they do a missile programme all the missile could carry a
nuke, because the satellite weighs about as much as a nuke.
Yeah. And it's and and so here's the play. North Korea, for some
reason, unknown to anyone is gonna send a missile, and then
bomb the United States with the one bomb they've got. For what
purpose? And what do they expect out of this except to be
completely wiped off the face of the earth by our 1000s and 1000s
of missiles? Does this make any sense in the annual but no, it
does make sense because he's insane. Dude, he's nuts.
He's the brash young leader. Well, you know, what's even
crazier? That today is the closing date to sign up for the
Pyongyang marathon, which returns April 10 2016. And you
can sign up with the DPRK tour operator URL tours. And you can
go over there and you can run the marathon. Everybody is
eligible. Yeah, well, well, they're probably going to
be killed. They're trying to kill us they will
get killed never posing a threat to the United States, which had
its missile defence system on alert just in case. The
satellite is roughly the same size as a nuclear warhead. Oh,
coincident with last month's underground nuclear explosion.
North Korea seems slowly but surely to be developing a long
range missile that could hit the US with a nuclear weapon. The US
and South Korea immediately announced they would begin talks
on sending a new missile defence system to the peninsula. In
effect, adding another layer to the missile defence is already
deployed to protect South Korea.
Bull crap Yeah.
All right. It's your turn.
Well, I had the thing about DPRK there was a couple other things
we definitely need to talk about. Just in regards to the
caliphate. Turkey is now playing hardball with with Europe and
this it's it's really he's starting a big, big problem.
Erawan and his cronies are saying, you know? Yeah, if you
don't pay us 3.3 Bill euros we're gonna let another 50,000
people flow into Europe. Have you seen this story?
Yeah. And have you listened to aerator one, and the event
boasts the Prime Minister and the President berating Europe
telling us we're a hole is ridiculous.
He's Orban is the you see the borders or bond? He's the Prime
Minister.
Ah, well he would
Orban is a Hungary I'm sorry. On his Hungary. Yeah,
he's it's some crazy name. I can never remember. Yeah, he's the
Prime Minister. He's real.
So he is actually accusing Germany and Turkey, of a secret
pact to flood Europe with another 500,000 quote, unquote,
illegals. The guy from Hungary. Yep, Orban.
So he's worried. Meanwhile, I
said, let's say that again.
He is accusing Germany and Turkey, of having a secret pact
to flood Europe with another half a million illegals. That's
the quote.
That's kind of an interesting thesis, because the whole thing
is kind of suspicious. And it was triggered by Germany. Yep.
And now German Merkel is looking to form a coalition of the
willing now that France has said, you know, what, we're done
no more for us. You know, we just we can't have any more. So
they're backing out. And this is very, this is not a typical for
France and Germany to get into a little kerfuffle over some
before we light it all up. She's looking at a coalition of the
willing who are willing to take in refugees, and this is this
has become this is a big, big discussion point everywhere. So
the data she is meeting with this coalition of the willing in
Brussels, it will be ahead of the right ahead of the EU
summit. And let me see who does she have? Or who do we suspect
that she has in this coalition? We have almost like I think it's
Sweden, the Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland? And am
I missing anybody? I think that's what I got. Now, the
people in the Netherlands are already freaking out. It's like
why why should we be in this? Greece also, will also be in
this and Austria will be in the coalition of the willing. This
is this is this is very this, I would almost say Merkel is now
herself trying to break up the EU. You can't have little
coalition's in there. Because just because no one can figure
out what to do with these migrants. Asylum seekers,
what is the coalition of the willing? What is there?
They're willing to take refugees?
Well, didn't she just say that and I can't take anymore.
She's putting together a deal. So she here whatever is going
on. She can't just say no more, because Erawan has come out and
said, Oh, you don't you don't want to do that. We're going to
send you all this stuff you want to pay us we're gonna send you
all these people. So whatever her game is, she's bringing
these other smaller countries into it. And the DOJ why why do
we have to be in this coalition? We got enough people here
already. We don't want these people in here.
country so small. Yeah. Nice. It's like one of those kinds of
things. It has a lot of leeway like you can. The United States
is a big country that it has the leeway just ship them put them
all in Arizona. Yeah. I mean, there's plenty of room. And
so of course, George Clooney was over there, but having a little
tea with Merkel with Amaal. Which if you think George
Clooney gives a crap about it, you're wrong. He's promoting his
movie. He's probably he was on a junket, a promo tour for his
movie in Germany, then Amal would never get to sit down with
with Merkel unless accompanied by Clooney. So they're sitting
down and Ben, have you read the tabloids about her? Know I mean,
the truth magazines
know
she has one at least apparently she did. George is like sick and
tired over. She I think we did discuss that she's demanding her
mom live with them if that's a goal. Yeah. So we did talk about
that. And she doesn't want to live anywhere but in the big
house in London or outside of London to the castle where a mom
has to be and Clooney, who of course is all you know, really,
he's really, really pretended to be a Lake Como?
Well, he's thinking of selling it because there's too many
roughy ins walking around and you know, and just kind of like
FOMO Yeah, sailing up to is I think that he doesn't want any,
be any migrants around this place. He's thinking of selling
it because people keep trespassing and walking up and
you know, with a little boats up dock in his dock, which of
course is public property. But you know, the mayor of is has
put some ordinance into effect much of the chagrin of local
fishermen etc. Down and double standard.
We gotta get catch up with this story. Yeah,
so but this this, the Coalition of the Willing things is brand
new. I just heard about it last night.
By the way, this guy marries some in or out of the blue
because we would think it was arranged marry somebody like
this woman. She's not in his cultural milieu
now. It's there and that's hard.
Yes, like, it's like yeah, it's very hard. Yeah. For most people
like they don't even want even marry a girl from the town one
over.
I mean, I, I certainly think my previous marriages, there was
always a cultural disconnect. Even though I I did grow up
formative years in the Netherlands be the first eight
years and as a lot of stuff that you know, just cultural stuff
that just doesn't exist and you kind of miss it. It's hard.
There's a lot of cultural issues when you get carried away.
Yeah, yeah.
Onward. Yeah.
Then we're just staying in Euro land for one second. This is
what's going on in in Greece right now. It's quite apt.
Quite. The pictures are quite phenomenal to see for testing
farmers attack riot police with shepherd's crooks as an angry
crowd, which
reminds me that's where hook or crook comes from, I think.
Shepherds crooks
that's a separate shepherd's crook.
It's a it's a long cane.
Was that long cane with a hook on the end.
I didn't see hooks, but they were like long,
long cane chains. Yeah, so it says we poke a sheep.
That's what they are. Yeah, she knows. And these and these
farmers who all rolled up on these tractors, and they they
blocked off highways, and they got flags flying, you know,
Greek flags, and they and they walk right up to the riot police
and just start hitting them on his shields and on their heads
with these with these.
These clips. SAS yes testing farmers attack riot police with
shepherd's crooks. As an angry crowd tries to storm the
Ministry of Agriculture. Plumes of tear gas fill the air while
protesters take potshots at office windows. Many of these
farmers had travelled from the island of Crete to join a day of
demonstrations that began with violence from across the
country. Farmers converged on Athens in their 1000s. This
group came in convoy from Colin, in the last two weeks, farmers
have staged at least 70 blockades on highways across the
country. Now they're taking their anger to the capital, the
countries
that people these laws are not going to help the people.
They're going to destroy them. Not only the farmers, most of
the society
on Syntagma Square in Athens close to Parliament. Some
protesters have pitch tents, they say there'll be here for
several days.
We've come here to protest with determination. And
we won't leave here until we found just
last year the Greek government signed an agreement with its
lenders, the International Monetary Fund and EU finance
ministers and if it introduces a raft of deep seated economic
reforms, who would have access to a $95 billion bailout the
Greek government says the reforms are not a matter of
choice. They're a matter of necessity for the reforms will
mean tax hikes and sharp increases in pension
contributions changes these farmers say will make their
small agricultural businesses no longer viable. As evening came
the Crown's increased tractors that had been stopped by police
on the edges of the city were allowed into the square.
It was great 1000s and 1000s of people and tractors running
everywhere. And we need that here. And he
well didn't pay attention. Do you get these Greek farmers
pissed off, man, they don't care. They do not like the
French,
French farmers are the same way. They do not care. And also
apparently, according to this story, the story about Uber the
Uber strike in London and I think is baguette. You know
Ubers got some problems with this sort of thing.
In Britain 1000s of taxi drivers brought downtown London to a
standstill during a protest against Uber on Wednesday. 1000s
of taxi drivers shut down the city's main streets in the area
around Prime Minister David Cameron's house for 90 minutes.
The taxi union say they're protesting new government
regulations. They say favour Uber and compromised driver
safety. Wednesday's protest is the latest in a series of
demonstrations against Uber, taxi drivers in Paris, Hong
Kong, Miami and other major cities have all protested the
Wall Street back company saying Uber threatens their union
rights and livelihood
union rights. When will people understand this as a slave wage
platform? This is what it was. You should be happy with this.
This will turn when when we when it hits when the big, big boom
hits our financial lives. People be so happy to have Uber to be
driving. They won't complain.
Well, nobody's complaining. We're not it now. What do you
mean they won't complain? Oh, you mean the taxi drivers?
Anybody know? It's not just they have there's a lot of there's a
lot of union noise against Uber. That's what that's what's
driving all of it. the stuff
of the the problem with the unions do.
The problem with the category of cab drivers is, you know, it's
a, you know, with London has a long history of, you know,
something very outdated, which they need to get over. It's like
everybody knows exactly how to go. They have the knowledge.
They learned for years, how to drive the best routes, what to
do, what route to take, and GPS kind of outdated that.
Well, outdated that, but it's still there's still shortcuts
and stuff that GPS doesn't recognise they don't know.
Right. But that's not saying that nobody know, by the way, if
you go to London and you want and you do take those calves, I
don't have any objection. I mean, they're expensive,
relatively, but it's still you know, use it that much. Two
things I got two stories. One, somebody did a, an analysis of
the time when they had a horse drawn cabs. The analysis of
going from point A to point B during that era in the 1700s.
Yeah, and today's cars, and the time, and the time from point A
to point B is identical when it was horses.
Really. Yeah, because the traffic was yeah, of course
traffic now is horrendous.
And so that it's there's no change. And the the other thing
if you're inland edge is a little tip, little travel tip.
If you can find that there's ways I think you can ask for
these cabs for some of the cab companies. There are these guys
who do competitive cab they they enter their cabs into concourse
d'Elegance is that which is is kind of like a car show where
the vehicles are dolled up. Like in mint condition, everything's
spit and polish. So I was in one of these cabs once this cab
dries up and thing is, is shining like this like a just
glowing. It's got chrome rims, chrome wheels, and the inside is
all just crazy. And I asked the guy he has a bunch of awards
that he's plastered in the cab. It's actually quite interesting.
It's a very nice ride.
There's pride pride they take
me onward we have the same situation kind of happening in
France with the air b&b inspectors.
Oh, I didn't hear about this.
It's one of the world's most visited cities, but the tourists
coming to Paris might have to find alternative accommodation.
Holiday rentals such as Airbnb and now facing a clampdown as
iPad wielding authorities seek out apartments with improper
authorization
from the government. We have an iPad we're here to help.
The first step is finding them. This girl
we can recognise the buildings courtyard from the picture. So
we're going to take pictures to have proof of the location does
anyone play with the chandelier caddies assume?
In Paris primary residences can be rented out on a short term
basis for a four month period. But for all uninhabited and
furnished residences, the landlord must ask for
authorization from the local mayor's office for this flat
owner who's being investigated. That's come as a surprise. I
want to see
once again, I think it's another one of these constraints that
France does so well. It's a bit of a weird guard actually.
Gather holiday rentals are a fruitful affair. In this
building in Paris is central six out on the small. An apartment
measuring just over 1700 square feet is on the market at 500
euros a night. The city of Paris is trying to clamp down on these
offers to avoid the overinflation of property prices
and apartments being left empty. Skewed on Quizlet is
at stake here is the face of Paris do we consider Paris to be
nothing more than a haven for tourists? Well, does Paris
continue to be a city in which employees and middle class
families can continue to live and if we wish for Paris to
remain a city for its residents, if that means we must protect
housing to make sure they aren't transformed into fully furnished
tourist flats. Yeah,
and as chic on the literal history. According to the Paris
Mayor's office, there are between 20 and 30,000 furnished
short term flats listed every year, the majority of them
illegal, and with plans to join forces with New York and
Barcelona. Back down has only just begun.
This is rather interesting. As Tina and I are planning on going
to Paris in April, then I was thinking there is yes that's why
and I was thinking well we'll get an air b&b. And this last I
checked there were plenty of maybe this will be home it will
get roasted in the middle of the night.
You get the ration thrown out in the street, man good now. Good.
I want to point something out in this report that it was kind of
overlooked in terms of the reporters and the analysis. When
they said the number there's 21st going on, all the whole
town's going to be ruined by these Airbnb douchebags and
there's not going to be any single family dwellings and the
middle classes is down for the count all this sort of thing. So
there's so then they say there's 20,000 of these things, which
seems like a lot. But okay, there's 20,000, maybe 30. But
there's 20,000 of these Airbnb uses a case they're not full
time most of them. I mean, there's a couple, there's
probably, you know, a few 1000 People that have just rented it,
you know, bought a flat and they rent it out constantly. But
that's a minor number. But even if all 20,000 We're doing this,
that is 1% 1%, less than 1%, actually, of the population.
It's very small. Yeah, population of Paris is 2.2
million. So this 20,000 Oh, we're doomed. What a bogus
story.
I will say that the having used Airbnb a lot, certainly in the
Netherlands, you run into this all the time. Now, just people
who have four or five apartments, they may even be
renting them themselves, they may not even own them. And
they're basically subletting and it does ruin the experience,
because it's not the way it was originally set up, which of
course, is also not the way Uber or Lyft was set up. Right. But
it does kind of ruin the experience. But yeah, I don't
know. I don't know Is it maybe just noise? I don't know. What
are they trying to do?
I don't think Airbnb is a big deal. And Jen, how sharing and
trading is nothing new. I mean, before the internet it was a you
could get I knew a guy who is constantly doing this. They
usually was done by a trading since
the a VB aro has been around for years.
Yeah, you get a big catalogue. And a big book used to be a book
now it's the internet. And you can just do it on the internet.
But there used to be these big books, which probably cost about
five bucks to print and had all the houses in details. You could
thumb through it. It was actually quite entertaining.
Hey, good news. I found the Theramin.
One of the new types are the old
classic The Theramin sound. Oh, what was it called breathing dot
mp3 remember? It was because of the breathing exercise that Tina
and I done? Oh, right. So now I remember I renamed it Yes, I
renamed it.
It's one of my favourite clips of the year
is Valentine's Day. And our First Lady and President
celebrated this, although not together, but on the Ellen show.
It was bizarre. I missed it.
We have a surprise for you take a look. Surprise.
And how? Hold on a second. So Ellen says we have a surprise
for you and then they roll the tape the President's clued in
because he's already looking at the monitor. So you know it's
not like a big surprise for him. And of course, you'll see this
as scripted later on. But what the first lady says something
very strange.
We have a surprise for you take a
look. Surprise.
Hi, honey, and hi Barak. Who's honey Ellen. What she says Hi
honey, and hi Barak.
The play that against you. I can pull it out.
We have a surprise for you. Take a look. Surprise.
Hi honey, and hi Barak. She comes in there. And a lesbian
show says hi honey. says hi honey to the lesbian. Yeah,
I think so. That's what it is.
I thought I saw the epic
surprise for you take a look. Surprise
I just wanted to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day.
Oh, the chatroom says there was a small girl next to Barak.
Maybe I missed that. I don't know. I didn't see her in the
shot. It's our
last one that was spent in the White House and an honour that I
wrote you a little Valentine's Day poem that I wanted to share.
Okay, here comes the this is the Ellen show. One of the highest
rated daytime talk shows this is the first lady of the United
States of America talking to her husband the President is has put
together a Valentine poem.
Roses are red, violets are blue. You are the president and I am
your boo I wrote that while I was doing 100 pushups this
morning.
Wow Wow stunning stunning Do you want to hear the whole bit where
he
I want to hear more
juices flowing? You should try it Ellen you're the only person
I'd share my husband with on Valentine's Day Happy
Valentine's Yeah
cuz you're not dangerous that I mean that's like a homophobic
thing right there. You're the only person I know you don't
want him that's obvious you're gay
person I'd share my husband with unbalanced I'm
just saying I feel this should have been a trigger warning
today. Happy Valentine's Day
to you and Portia. And Happy Valentine's Day for everyone.
And Veronica, I know there's a See's Candy out there so bring

something prepared, which is a lie because he's about to read
off the prompter.
Wow. All right, well, then you I'm gonna
deliver it to her in person, but then we can do it on the set.
All right. All right I'm gonna stand here with rose petals.
I'm gonna set the mood. Yeah. Okay. All right. Is this good?
Yeah.
At this point, he really could have done a great job. He had

I don't like be I would never say to any woman. I chose you. I
would never say that. Would you?
Yeah, that's a good question that's beyond and it's not a
great question. It's a good question.

I've never done that. No, I've
never I never say do it. Why don't you do it? No. I

I chose you as my slave. No,
I chose you know, it sounds like I chose you. And you know, it
just doesn't. Yeah, I agree that I don't like something about it.
It's
not romantic. It's not it's not a nice thing to say. Oh, unless
of course you're the bachelor and you're on a TV show. You get
the rose.
Michelle, I've made a lot of great decisions as president.
The best decision I ever made was choosing you. Thanks for
putting up with me. I love you. And Ellen Happy Valentine's day
we'll be right back
to the strange
now It reminds me of genuine go look this up on Google because
he said I Obama care for you. Yeah, worst. Yeah. There was a
fun competition. They have it apparently every year and that's
becoming a big deal they're having they're starting to do it
here. But there's one in England where it's would be pleased with
do it. Because he was language is rife for puns and so look up
on Google look up 2016 Pong Pong champion and then it should be
the link you want as the mirror which is a miserable newspaper
site but I have one one of these open and I'll read a couple of
funds. Okay. Supposed to be shuffling chauffeuring? I'm
supposed to be shuffle chauffeuring a female vicar, but
I drove past her. Oh god. It wasn't much fun having a broken
neck. But now I can look back and laugh. I did a gig at Eton
Tov crowd counterfeiters I just don't know how they make money.
No god. Okay, we need to stop. We need to stop right away.
Here's the only thing you need to say to your woman. This
Valentine's Day you cosy up to her and go over to her. You
whisper in her ear. I'm here and
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun I
have a few people to think but first if a cat woman decided to
go to Nepal, what would cat man do?
Hi yah. Yah. Yah, yah.

And we appreciate you thinking about sephora.org/karma
For everybody who need it. You've got karma.
Oh, yes, indeed. Very, very short list today, but let's do
it. The jingle is longer than the list. Steve Edwards
celebrates his birthday tomorrow and we say happy birthday for me
buddies here the best podcast in the universe. New titles sir Mad
Hatter becomes Baronet sir hyung becomes Burnett and then we have
three. Actually three nights in one, Dane, we have Elaine and we
need her to come up on the podium. Careful and careful,
careful, careful. John, you got your sword somewhere here. Ryan
Warden needs to come up on the podium. And oh, I'm sorry. I did
have no I made a mistake here. It's in the wrong list. belated
birthday to Sir Matthew Greenwich, to Richard footers
who celebrate on the ninth sorry, it was in the wrong bin.
So we have those three, two nights. One day I say why don't
we get this thing going? Come on up. Gentlemen, actually, it's
just two than I guess. A cluster today. Brian Morton and Lynn you
both have contributed to the best podcast and university
amount of $1,000 or more and therefore I welcome you to the
roundtable and pronounce the k d. Lady Lynn in the day events.
And Brian Wharton Sir Brian Morton for you. We have the
obvious things you do the roundtable hookers and blow red
boys and Chardonnay crickets and cream Cuban cigars and single
malt scotch, bad science and perky breasts root beer and
pepperoni pizza got malted barley and hops as cream with
bare fillings, cannabis and Cabernet. Three Geisha and a
bucket of fried chicken back in vanilla and mutton and Mead. And
go to no agenda nation.com/rings. And we will
make sure that gets out to you as soon as possible. Yes, a
couple of things to discuss in the second half, John,
you know, I've got a friend who's obsessed with completing
his Beatles collection. Yeah, he needs help. Oh.
Two things I have here is a couple of actually, there's a
scam going around that I want to alert everybody to that came
across my desk earlier this week. Then this is regarding the
Americans with Disability Act, which I think was what was
assigned to 77 Eight or something.
I think it was Reagan as well. Yeah, while ago. They're a while
ago, whatever.
So there's been some amendments over the years. And then a
couple of years ago, there was a very specific amendment known as
Section 508. And section 508 requires certain covered
entities to make their web presence, their web presence,
completely compatible for Americans with disabilities. And
that would be if you're entirely blind, somewhat blind,
colorblind, if you if flashing images can trigger and it's
essentially what they've done. I said essentially, but it is
true. They took the the IETF Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
2.0, which is huge. And they said, Okay, do you have to
adhere to all these things if you're a federal department or
federal agency? Now, this is not even in effect right now.
Because the the board, the who determines this? They've you
know, they put out requests for comments, the comments have, I
think the deadline ended, but they still have not published
their final rulemaking. And when they do that, then you have six
months to to adhere to it. And this is a this is a really, it's
an incredible list. And I'll get into some of the things that
need to change and why I think it's insane. But what I'm seeing
now, because I started to look into this, there are consultants
who are out there contacting large organisations, nonprofits
as well claiming, claiming that section 508 requires all
nonprofits and most commercial companies to adhere to the
section 508 guidelines, which is a lie and I have Britton proof
that consultants are out there saying this, and they'll do it
with well, you know, you really, you know, even if you feel you
may not be covered. Look what happened to the Cancer Society
of America. They were sued because someone felt they
couldn't get you know, they were being distributed discriminated
against and they lost these lawsuits. And they're and these
consultants are out there and listen to the recommendations.
View UK so you have to tone down to specific levels the luminance
on any image so the colours will look the same to everybody. Of
course, we have 8% of men who are colorblind, I fall under
that but I kind of concede your red green or I understand what
colour it is. To a certain degree. I have some problems
with brown and green next to each other. So we now have to
degrade the image level, so that someone who is colorblind or
somewhat sighted gets a good
demanding this
be because everyone has to be equal. And so what's happening
here is we're degrading my experience as a full sighted
person so that someone else can see it serif font is no longer
allowed because saref is hard to read for people.
This is bull. Yes. Thank you and studied
and and the
dimension. Yeah, go ahead. Serif font for people like deal with
fonts, makes for faster reading. Because because the saris
themselves, form an invisible line that makes it easy to go
from line to line, the line bought has been read faster with
Serif fonts, ferret Serif fonts are of superior. For many people
for reading for actual use.
Well, they are going to be for Bolton. And you can this is I'm
telling you this is the standard. This is what the what
these consultants are pushing, you can no longer have an image
with letters in it, you have to have that superimposed over the
image of so screen. Yes, all tags are good. So you have an
alt tag. So a screen reader will see a won't Of course, it
doesn't see the image but it says an image named etc, etc,
etc. And you could kind of figure out what that image was
that you're not seeing as a blind person? No, we have if you
have images, or if you have words on an image, you have to
separate those in a separate layer so screen readers can get
to them. ALT tag is not enough to
get this story and how come it's not on tech news?
Well, it is tech news. But I guess I didn't start the jingle.
Then I got this because this I have ribs all in the show notes.
You can see all of these consultants, there's what is the
one of the big one that I found the SSB BART Group. And then of
course, they the consultants come in and they say, Oh, you
need to have all this you're gonna get sued. It's very, very
quite honestly. They're probably right, even though it is not is
only for federal departments and agencies. If you do one thing,
if you do, let's say say you remove saref, then you you also
have you can't have anything blinking in a certain rate
because it might trigger epileptic fits. Then, of course,
is that well, what am I going to do? Then they Oh, well, we can
of course help you get up to it's like why 2k? John, this is
why 2k scam.
That's what it is why 2k scam, and it is a problem and then
sell yourself out? Is it because they're going to the profit.
They're
going to exist before you showed up? Yes. And nonprofits are
freaking out because they're getting all this incoming
messaging. And it's very hard to find the exact information, then
you know, and you ask around who's a Yeah, heard about this?
Yeah. And then of course, they always say but you know, you
should do it anyway, because it's good for SEO. Oh, okay.
Thanks. Yeah, that's well, I'll do it. So have a look at the web
content Access Guide 2.0. It no one could adhere to that. No
one. It's it's, yeah, every single government site I've seen
so far that is W CAG. compliant looks like shit. It looks like
it looks like a gopher. It's just text links. You might as
well give up on making something look good. And I'd find it
reprehensible that my experience has to be downgraded. I'm fine
with alternative versions, but has to be downgraded because
someone else can't see it. That's bull.
I don't know what you're going to do about it unless you have a
parallel internet.
Well, you're allowed in extreme cases. And of course, this is
not spelled out specifically, if there's no other way to adhere
to all this, you can create a separate site that has all of
this in it with a separate path for people now, I've always been
I've really worked hard throughout my life. To make sure
there are always screen reader versions available. We make all
of our shownotes available in structured text format in OPML
format was an XML variant. Our show notes are really one big
page that screen readers can go through if there's anything we
can do better. I'd love to hear about it. But this is a an epic
scam. And I want to hear how many people in our audience have
had consultants come up to them saying they have to adhere to
this when that is a blatant lie. blatant lie. No, it's alright. I
was actually going to read you one of these almost second I'll
read you one of these lies from a consultant you'll it'll trip
you out Hold on a second where is it? Well, that was slick. Say
something and I'll find it quicker.
Okay, well, you know, when you're done with that, I want to
play a couple clips. I want to play this clip the new article
in the night and Should magazine blasting Hillary? This would be
the blasting Hillary show. There's a there's an update on
Colette.
I have the email.
Thank you. This is from this is from a consultant. corporations
and nonprofits are required by law to ensure their digital
properties are compliant with the American with Disabilities
Act standards or have an action plan in place for updating them.
How about that?
It's a lie. corporations and nonprofits do not even if you
receive federal funding, the section 508 specifically says
you do not have to adhere to it now. Will we have to in the
future? Of course. I'm sure
that's a different lie. It's not a lie. That's the truth. Yeah.
All right. Well, let's at least get just one thing out of the
way since we're out of tech news. Now, I want to just ask
you, just kind of quiz you a little bit about the play this
clip the record freeze, which is going on as we speak. It's been
a relatively mild winter so far by buffalo standards, but that
is about to change a dangerously cold arctic airmass moving in
tonight, meaning by tomorrow morning, we can set 100 year old
record from the
Midwest all the way to North Carolina, the National Weather
Service's warning conditions will result in frostbite and
lead to hypothermia or death. If precautions are not taken. I
think it's a very serious situation. The cold is already
causing damage, a burst pipe in Scranton, Pennsylvania, turning
these homes into ice castles. In some places, it could feel like
40 below zero this weekend. And temperatures like that frostbite
can set in in just minutes.
Yay.
It goes on and on. This is like going to be one of the worst
freezes ever in the history of the country. And how come you
know when they do like remember during over Christmas? It was
kind of warm in New York, I think. Yes. Yeah. I was in the
cemetery for a minute there. And everybody brought up the global
warming thing. Oh, it's global warming is what's going to be
like in the future. And then when they have these cold
spells, no one ever brings up the global cooling. I think
there's the group of people that were in the global cooling were
that who still exist,
right. It was John P. Holdren, the current advice science
adviser to the president. He was a global cooling guy before it
became a global warming guy.
I don't understand what the global cooling guys are. I think
it's there's a conspiracy that just don't give them the ink. I
think it's the media at the press. Possibly, but this is a
good time to talk about global cooling. This is a terrible it'd
be the coldest year in history
and no, even if it's the coldest year in history, it will still
be one of the warmest years on history. That's that's how it
works.
I don't know how they manage that but they do a really good
job of
it. Because every single time someone calls the numbers into
says hey, these numbers aren't right. Are you reading the
numbers wrong? That's when Shut up slave. You're just listening
to the Koch brothers.
What it was until as a speaker it's a good story this the
cluster bomb story that was on RT where they point out a very
interesting anomaly about are complaining about cluster bombs
the Russians are using that was
Secretary of State John Kerry speaking alongside the Egyptian
foreign minister at the US Department of State on Tuesday,
condemning Russia's use of cluster bombs in Syria. You
Kerry did not speak out against the use of us manufactured
cluster bombs in another conflict. The US backed Saudi
led offensive in Yemen. Amnesty International says has new
evidence that the US back Saudi led coalition dropped cluster
bombs during an air attack on Santa on January 6, which killed
a 16 year old boy and injured at least a half dozen other
civilians. UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon says the January 6
attack may amount to a war crime.
And do we know exactly what happened or that we really think
the Russians were dropping cluster bombs if
those blast bombs are our bombs There you go. I can we're
bitching about the Russians when we make cluster bombs. Wow man.
All right, here's let's play this clip. This is the another
Democracy Now clip because you're going after Hillary let's
face it. So this is where I'm gonna get all my anti Hillary
stuff. And this is the blacks and Hillary This is a new
article in the very liberal Nation Magazine.
Meanwhile, Michelle Alexander has written a scathing critique
of Hillary Clinton published yesterday in The Nation
magazine. Alexander, who's the author of The New Jim Crow,
argues Clinton does not deserve the black vote pointing to her
role in advocating for the passage of the 1994 crime bill,
as well as the 96 Welfare Reform Act. Alexander writes, quote,
it's difficult to overstate the damage that's been done.
generations have been lost to the prison system. countless
families have been torn apart or rendered homeless and a school
to prison pipeline has been born that shuttles young People from
their decrepit, underfunded schools to brand new high tech
prisons. Hillary believes that she can win this game in 2016
because this time she's got us the black vote in her back
pocket her lucky card. Michelle Alexander goes on to say she may
be surprised to discover that the younger generation is no
longer wants to play her game.
There's a lot going on with Black Lives Matter right now in
the news. Yeah, yeah, we have the Grammys are very smart.
They're looking at the Oscars. So White promotion and thinking
you know, that's a great way to get some ratings. We're not on
Sunday because it's Valentine's Day so they moved it to Monday
night, which is, I think is new for the for the Grammy Awards,
and they've stirred up their own controversy. Of course, we
always have the dead segment. And Lady Gaga will perform and
at a good guy, Lady Gaga will perform an eight minute David
Bowie tribute. Jackson Browne will honour Glenn Frey. Alice
Cooper and Johnny Depp will perform a tribute for Lemmy from
Motorhead. However, there will be no tributes for Maurice white
of Earth Wind and Fire or Natalie Cole. They'll just be in
a little video package.
Scandal especially Natalie cold
yeah, we've got some country and I think that's that is that is
wrong. Because Natalie Cole deserves to have a tribute.
Especially if that one guy you mentioned I don't have ever
heard of him who lent me the guy who had the Johnny Depp I don't
know whose it was the guy there. Let
me let me yeah, let me you don't know who let me is that Ken?
No, I don't buy he's dead was he? Lemmy from Motorhead? Oh,
yeah, Motorhead? Yeah. Natalie Cole and Motorhead. Okay.
No. But she is she's not that he called does not get a
performance she should on of course she should. So should
Maurice white?
Yeah, I would think so too. But right now, okay, Ramona,
Motorhead to get some tribute. Earth Wind and Fire should give
them I think that's the question is, did this on purpose?
Yeah. For this promotion? Yes, exactly. There will be a rival
Movie Awards, which is set up by Russell Simmons.
Wait a minute, hold on a second Hip Hop mogul? extraordinaire.
Yeah, yeah. Russell Simmons in it for the money. Yes. Isn't
that people's choice? Isn't the Golden Globes isn't all those
other ones rival musical rival Movie Awards? Yeah. Aren't they
all rival move Movie Awards?
Yeah, but he's gonna He's gonna do one right before the Oscars.
There'll be the all death Movie Awards. All
death. Yep.
Do def def Yeah, I
know what it is.
Well, you didn't know. Let me I'm trying to help.
I know. Def Jam.
Yes. Very good.
I didn't know let me I didn't I never Motorhead was not a band.
I bothered with Motorhead. Okay, come on. Oh, yeah, Dvorak's a
big Motorhead fan.
And then I just had a question for you. I keep seeing because I
follow all the Black Lives Matter stuff. It's phenomenally
interesting to me, it was it's part of partly a beak. But these
are, we're all Americans, and we're being ripped apart. So I'm
interested to see how it's being done. And if there's anything
that kind of a drumbeat, stop it, but there's a new meme that
I'd like some explanation on. Why I keep reading. We've been
through this for 400 years.
Yeah, have
America is what 245 How many years are we now?
That's the official America. But we found out that we 400 years
ago we had settlers 1600. Right. But did we have slaves? 400 had
a lot of indentured servants. Yeah. I believe there may have
been some slaves, and maybe not maybe it was a little longer. I
don't know, when the popularity of the slave thing took off. It
was the Dutch. And some of these Europeans always point the
finger at us that came up with this idea of grabbing these
black Africans and making them slaves. They Oh, it was it was
totally the Dutch, the Dutch invented the Dutch are big and
rich, too. They covered it up better. And the Africans
themselves I mean, was black Africans that came up with the
idea was one way to vanquish their enemies. Yeah, was to put
them in a boat and ship them out of the country. That's pretty,
but I mean, but if you wanted to, if you want to take 400
years, I mean, you can look at everybody and say there was
slavery. There was slavery in ancient Greece and Rome. I mean,
come on.
Rome was built on slavery. Yeah.
I don't know. I find it interesting that this
that you mentioned a little myopic, they should go trace
trace it back to Rome in particular, you can keep going
2000 years of oppression Oh, obviously it's a gimmick. Yeah,
well, Nothing I can get.
I don't like it. I have a have a war on vaping clip for you
something interesting happened. There's a bill was in the house,
which did pass I might add. And this is the vaping. Bill, I'm
gonna tell you what this is the things you hear but
this it was just about the Senator.
Yeah. Yeah, I have the clip I have the clip. And who is it? So
this is a bill put in by Tom Cole. And it's House Bill House
resolution 2058. And so, in the, in Congress, Duncan Hunter took
this like head pulled out a vape pen that have huge, big vape
inhale and blew a big cloud out people like, you know, like
waving, waving their arms. Oh my god, what has he done. And
here's his little speech.
So this is called a, this is called a vaporizer. There's no
combustion, there's no carcinogens. What the gentlelady
did not say as its smoking has gone down. As the use of
vaporizers has gone up. There is no burning. There's nothing
noxious about this whatsoever. This has helped 1000s of people
quit smoking, it's helped me quit smoking. And in the next
decade or so, you're gonna be able to inhale ibuprofen, you're
gonna be able to inhale your Prozac and anything else that
you need.
When I heard that, like, holy moly, I had no idea. This is
where vaping was headed. We're gonna be able to vape your
Prozac.
I'm gonna go ibuprofen, you're gonna be able to inhale your
Prozac. Hey,
honey, can you get the Viagra vape? I'm ready.
Anything else that you need? Drug wise, you're gonna be able
to inhale.
This is a great future. We need to stop this.
Can I reclaim my time this amendment? I think that the
gentlelady already yielded. But I'd be happy to yield in just a
moment. The way that this amendments written too, you
won't be able to have an asthma inhaler. You won't be able to
have a nebulizer I got him there. Anything. Exactly. This
is the future. Smoking is going away. And the ability to take in
nicotine or any other form of medication of grooving us in the
future will be in something like a vaporizer. Oh man, for freedom
sake. Yes, for the sake of people that are trying to quit
smoking, and quit dipping, and still have nicotine would urge
my my friends here in college and oppose this amendment. And
I'd be happy to yield to the gentlelady.
Now, I think this was really about not vaping on aeroplanes,
it seems like yeah, that you can't vape in airports you can
vape is fine, whatever, fine, even though it makes no sense
really fine.
But then the Soviets keep blowing up. I don't want people
vaping on aeroplanes. Sure.
But I feel that the future, which is clearly spelled out the
future of vaping, your Prozac your Prozac is dynamite. This is
this is we are trending. This is from the future this stuff. This
is good.
It is yeah. Theramin.
Fine, now you want now he wants to Theramin
I always want this is your future.
Nice, very nice. And on that tip that we've discussed our health
care insurance premiums on the previous show, where I said I'm
paying $500 a month for me. That means playing paying 600. I
would like I don't know if you got all this email. But people
kept saying, Wow, that Obamacare is a rip off. I can't but I
thought I'd say just so you know, I don't have Obamacare. I
don't qualify for Obamacare. This is not Obamacare. This is
the reason this is the result of Obamacare. I pay $500 a month,
so there can be an Obama care. I just want people to understand
that somehow the world this is what I noticed. Outside of the
United States, people have this idea that this is our global
health care system. And that we're all now under this
Obamacare thing. No, no, no, no. That is for people who can't
afford it. And because of that, insurance companies have jacked
up everybody else's rates. I just want to be clear,
they would have jumped them up anyway. Insurance. Sure,
sure. But people are very confused about what Obamacare
is, or the Affordable Care Act to be specific. So I wanted to
make sure that people knew that and I really appreciate all the
people are saying yes, if you run your run for Congress, I'll
help you. I'll do this. I'll do that. But so far, nobody is
willing to get 500 signatures. Okay, when you do that, I'll be
ready. I'll be here to help. You know,
you have to hire there's groups that do this for you. I don't
want that I know it well, then you can stand up The corner or
buy the whole foods with a clipboard. I will and as
everyone goes by, you can say Hi, I'm Adam curry. Well, I'm
going to I want to run for Congress. Could you sign my
petition to I will,
but I need people to help. I need people to help
you if you weren't organising type, I need a community.
I need an Oregon I need an organiser to help. That's my
plenty of people that can help you but they're not showing up.
No, they're not. That's the first goal is to find them now
and then get them to show up. They're not going to be that
easy. I gotcha. Okay, I've got us just here's the this clip.
Here's a kind of interesting this. This is just the clip I
was looking for earlier is the Turkish guy bitching about
Syria. This dn Syria report on ethnic cleansing.
On Wednesday, the Turkish prime minister on that devil Tolu the
Assad government and Russian military have carrying out a
campaign of quote, ethnic cleansing in Aleppo.
Saudi booted you to the hip who was coupled with Yes, we
should all accept refugees, beautiful attacks are also
intended to bring about the kind of ethnic cleansing in Syria.
Holy crap,
this is great. Who is that guy? That's fantastic. This is about
an ethnic cleansing. Oh, this is great.
On Wednesday, the Turkish prime minister on that devil Tolu
accused the Assad government and Russian military of carrying out
a campaign of quote ethnic cleansing and Aleppo,
told him to do the hip he was covered with Yes,
we should all accept refugees. These attacks are also intended
to bring about the kind of ethnic cleansing in Syria so
that all people who don't support the Syrian regime are
driven out of the country. It's a systematic ethnic cleansing.
This comes as a new report by the Syrian Centre for Policy
Research says 11.5% of Syria's population has either been
killed or injured since 2011.
That good work.
Well done. Well done.
I have to ask let go. Okay. We're just trying to wrap up.
Yeah, I have to my last clip is the end of greyhound racing and
I have a thought about this
end of greyhound racing. I think I saw a piece about this
somewhere.
Greyhound Racing has been on its last legs for decades. Hanging
on in Florida but pun intended, David begged Noah found that
even there the hounds could be nearing the end of their run.
Peter Cyrus has been taking his daughter and his grandchildren
to the Naples Fort Myers greyhound racing track for 20
years. On this day, the grandstands were nearly empty.
I've seen a big decline in the attendance of their i i remember
the crowds really cheering
on the 90 dog tracks were made in the US 12 of them are in
Florida, is adore habitat owns two of them
to have 50 people come through a business that seeks 1000s It's
like going to a dolphins game in December. It's an empty
building.
Habit. It says he loses $5 million a year running these
races but he says he has to in order to keep his more
profitable poker business open Florida law mandates
we have to run 90% of the amount of racing we ran in 1996 in
order to keep our poker room open.
How many races do you have to run a year
are 1000s of dog races?
Haven't it supports decoupling the two businesses so he can run
his poker rooms without racing the dogs. Carrie Thiele is
executive director of grey 2k An organisation working to protect
greyhounds greyhound racing is Cronin humane. These dogs live
in small cages for about 22 hours a day. The cages are
barely large enough for the dogs to stand up or turn around. If
they don't want to run live greyhound racing they could stop
today. Stop today turning your permit.
Jack Cory lobbies for the Greyhound industry he insists
the dogs are well cared for. He blames the audience declined on
the track owners
glide greyhound racing is alive and well if the tracks wanted to
promote it if the tracks wanted to modernise it, Mr. Thiele in
the animal rights groups and the Greyhound tracks all want to
become slot casinos and to do just that. Here Okay,
that's what's going on because it was legalised gambling. You
look at the money flowed the only reason he ever had
greyhound racing because you couldn't do any other kind of
gambling in certain areas. And it's kind of a form of gambling
and you can make money doing it and it was and it's exciting. I
would say if anybody out there has not been to a greyhound race
you better go pretty soon because they're gonna ban this
this product.
i It's interesting because I saw a greyhound report completely
different about track owners maybe three weeks ago so
there's something's something's up for sure these are now let me
tell you about this for just a second would go to a greyhound.
race they are extremely entertaining. And kids in
particular, if you have children love the race, I mean, the
atmosphere of these Greyhound tracks has become kind of cigar
ish, kind of old and beaten and battered, but it's a fantastic
process to watch. The races are hilarious, because about one out
of every three or four races, one of the lead dogs falls. Love
that. And all the dogs tumble, and it's hilarious. Do they all
go and get back up and continue the race? But it's actually
quite I don't know, maybe it's cruel, but it's quite. I think
I've seen dogs falling all over themselves.
The consensus amongst the politically correct people would
be that you are a horrible man for even suggesting that this
cruel it's all cruel, cruel, it's all cruel.
Yeah, dog tracks or bedding establishment so you can bet on
the races even though no one promotes there's probably a you
know, a Seattle slew or there's some famous dog that could go
from place to place and he's a kick ass dog that runs really
fast. I don't know his name, this is not a very well promoted
sport. And they can't You know, I would go see or if I was
nearby, I'd go see a race with the world's fastest dog with
against the local superstars. And it can be very interesting.
But now they don't promote anything like that just a bunch
of random dogs. And so the bedding tip which I think I've
discussed on the show before the bedding tip is you bet on the
dog the last dog you see take a dump then you go bet on that dog
now I did that isn't
that the same for the horses though? I thought it was same
same for never seen any horses
taking dumps but I did that trick and a race I think was a
dog track it was maybe in Connecticut or someplace. Not
sure. It wasn't in Florida. And it didn't work so don't you know
that's just a great tip don't
follow it.
I don't know if it works. Now the other sport which is going
to go away soon and they didn't
tossing here dwarf tossing is on the skids if
the other one is gonna go ways Hi lie.
No man highlight is a great sport to watch.
It's a great sport to watch. And there are very famous highlight
players and you can kind of figure out who to bet on it's
the same as another betting game. And it's not going to be
around much longer. And it's because again, there's no
promotions is not the same kind of money as a slot Casino. You
know, where you can just roll in the dough
also, isn't also just a problem that this cash and you know,
there's just all kinds of stuff going on with this type of
bedding. And it sounds like a lot of different agendas at play
than this. Whatever the case go see of dog racing. Well,
apparently according to according to the chat room.
There is a dog track in Arkansas, which I'll be I'll be
the end of the month. Still looking for someone to organise
the meetup, please. Arkansas nians will be in Fayetteville.
So if there's one there, I'll go.
I will I will report back in Little Rock, they might guess.
Well, I'll report back. I'll see what I can find. Yeah, you'd
love to see the dog races are very funny. It'd be great if I'd
like to see them. They're exciting and they do a lot of
them and the dogs are looked like they're having a good time
and it's great for kids. And they showed that scene with the
guidance two daughters their daughter and a son are they're
jumping up and down they're happy they're loving it ya know?
I think one of them was holding a ticket to let these kids bet
the one girl girl she jumped up and down she's holding the
ticket. Oh and like she's just one right? I think that might be
illegal.
My final bid is the war on cash. Really ratcheting up now in
Europe we've been tracking this for three maybe four years seems
to be getting pretty serious
could its days be numbered finance ministers are calling on
the European Central Bank to look at ways of tightening
access to 500 euro notes in a bid to cut terror funding, there
are concerns that it's high value makes it easy to carry
large sums and launder cash. There are even calls for it to
be scrapped altogether crucial etc. The 500 euro note is used
more to facilitate transactions which are illegal rather than
allowing people like you and me to buy food he says Therefore,
it's no more than we raised the question now about the use of
this bank note because the ECB is also facing calls for limits
to be brought in for cash payments. The 500 euro note is
one of the highest valued in the world. Germany was one of the
early champions of it matching the value of its old 1000 Mark
equivalent.
So in an indirect way they're also saying fu Germany does you
want this are going to happen. Then taking away the people's
ability to have money.
Yeah, that way you can wipe them out with a computer push of a
button. Boom. You're broke, buddy. Yeah. And you don't think
that's gonna happen?
