Hello. No, I don't want your beans.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Ed Sunday August 28 2016. This is your award winning gizmo
nation media assassination episode 855. This is no agenda,
assuming the role of all wrong and broadcasting live from the
capital of the drone Star state here in Austin de Hotspur and
FEMA Region six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's a beautiful Sunday.
It's all foggy and cold, John C. Dvorak.
I figured the weather was bad these past few days out there by
us. Well, because you launched a new product. That's why
it did. Yeah, oh, the leaner
report. Yes, that's a new product. Man. This is
a new product. Miserable, I just want to sit here and do
something. You better
explain what that is. Because I liked it. Yeah, the leaner
report
is, was initiated and sent out with the last newsletter. And it
is a Polaroid Gob tweeted around, I suppose. It's it's a
rundown of all the media outlets and which way they're leaning
hence, leaner. Towards which candidate and will you know,
what their bigotries are, and it'll be expanded. Now, one
every few weeks, what I found really,
the most interesting is your publishing methodology. Yes, so
the way I see it, you have a you have a URL. And I guess that URL
just stays it stays the same. You just replace the report with
a new report or an updated report when it's ready.
Well, I haven't made that decision yet. But I think that's
probably what I'll do. Yeah,
I mean, I could make a page for it if you want. I mean, we could
have like learn us leaner learner. leaner.no No, no agenda
notes.com or something?
Yeah, well just link to it in the no agenda. notes.com and I
think it would just keep it static. I think it's not a bad
idea.
Yes, Dad, you just use that URL. And then you just keep
keep uploading the document. Well, I
liked it. And what happened was when I was scouring through the
pool of clips that I had assembled, of course now I'm
looking at everything in that light is who's leaning what is
it? What is this point? I mean, there was a lot of weird stuff
happening on the network's
Oh, horrendous. I have a bunch of clips in kind of reflect some
of this. Yeah. There was a slam piece at ABC did for some reason
by and by the way, one of
the one about Obama. know which one you think enough? I'll
listen to about Trump. Oh, listen to this. This was this is
ABC.
Oh, no. Just the Obama Oh, I got a clip. Okay, you play that and
I got it. I got a counter clip.
Mueller was the young American who? Yeah, that's my counter
clip.
I have that how can it be counter if I have the clip?
Well, you have the whole clip the whole clips like four
minutes
about a buck 30 I got here.
Well, okay go trying to help the young victims of war for parents
emailing ISIS from their home their kitchen computer in
Arizona. Tonight here never before seen video of Mueller as
a prisoner, tortured by ISIS. She died in captivity. And this
evening, you will hear from her parents who say the President
made a promise, a promise they say that was not kept
these home movies served as a mother and father's cherished
memory of a young woman full of life. A daughter traveling the
world to help the innocent victims of war. But that all
ended with this video. Very sick. very terrifying here.
Caleb Muller had been taken hostage by ISIS. And for the
next 17 months her parents Carl and Marsha would fight for her
freedom. After Kayla was killed at ISIS captivity. The president
came to Arizona to console the Muellers. They say he made her
promise to help the foundation they set up in her name and then
broke it. There hasn't been such a donation row. I'm still
waiting for that donation. Mr. President, today our team
pressed the White House for an answer.
Can the Muller family expect that the President that the
Obamas will make a donation to their daughter's the foundation
in the name of Kayla Mueller?
Soon? The the as I mentioned, I can't speak to any previous
conversations that they've had. But I can tell you what is the
donation combo. The foundation that Kayla's hands that's been
established in her memory is certainly the kind of foundation
that the President and First Lady have supported in the past
and I would anticipate that they would make a financial
contribution to
continue supporting
it. But none of that changes to Mueller's belief that the
government failed their daughter so we put all our faith in the
government and they let us down. Now you
probably saw the same thing I do is this was indeed like a four
and a half minute piece. I'm like What is what is what why it
Was it? It was it was a hit piece I think here's what I
think if we're gonna go with it lert leaning report, of course
leaner, the leaner. I think this was a was a pro Trump piece.
Because it's an associative piece. They do this all as a
long pieces that it's blasting the government for this and that
but mostly Obama. They target Obama for being a cheap person
personally, it's in charge. And then the guy actually does a
camera hit the old man when he says, we're still waiting for
that money. Then he turns and hits the camera, eyeballs it and
says, Mr. President, yeah, oh, yeah. That was pretty nasty.
To my GoFundMe, damn it,
and they and then they have the nerve, they have
our, our spokes
hole go up there. So well, you know, it's the kind of thing he
gives money to so he probably get kind of a thing is that
that's the kind of thing he gives money to. So he's probably
going to Why don't you just do it? Yeah. But it was I think
associated to make it because you always associate Hillary
with the with this. Yeah. This was a Hillary anti Hillary. But
I think
there's a lot in there because it's also about money to a
foundation. And there was a lot of associative stuff there. And
it came kind of out of the blue just didn't feel like my Hawaii
story. Yeah.
I mean, this is the girl who was supposedly they do the ISIS
folks. Yeah, they're the ones who said it that we killed her
with the drone. This is the woman that was in Yes, yes. I
remember some building and she got killed.
I remember the story. Yeah. Yeah. Old.
It's an old story. Odd. Odd. They
did this. Yeah,
I found it. I haven't decided just as a jaw dropper for me to
they did they did it on a Friday, which is when they don't
have a big audience. So maybe there was something there but I
think it had to do with the countering the really nasty anti
Trump piece. They did it. Do I have it?
They're countering their own programming. Getting stronger
from Trump but slammed on ABC. Yeah. Really, this is an
interesting title.
Well, that's because it was I was gonna say slammed, but he
would get mad but I think but slam is okay. I like it. It's
totally okay with me. Donald Trump Just a short time ago
press to explain why he thinks she's a bigot. You'll see how he
responds all of this tonight, as a new national poll shows
Clinton leading now by 10 points above 50% ABCs. David right and
what was said and how even some Trump supporters seem to take it
back.
Hours before Hillary Clinton took the stage in Reno, Donald
Trump dropped this bomb.
Hillary Clinton is a bigot who sees people of color only as
votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future.
Hillary Clinton is a bigot.
That woman behind him there appears to be shocked. Today
Clinton made her case that it's Trump who's been running a
racist campaign.
Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and
paranoia. He is taking hate groups mainstream and helping a
radical fringe take over the Republican Party
and some of her strongest language yet she ran down the
list,
he promoted the racist lie that President Obama is not really an
American citizen.
Using Trump's own words against him. She accused him of
launching his run for the presidency with another racist
lie about Mexican immigrants.
They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists
and some, I assume are good people.
There has been a steady stream of bigotry coming from him.
She also made it clear she doesn't by Trump's new efforts
to reach out to African American voters.
I say this to the African American community. Give Donald
Trump a chance. We will turn it around, we will make your street
safe. So when you walk down the street, you don't get shot,
which is what's happening now.
Trump has stood up in front of largely white audiences and
described black communities in such insulting and ignorant
terms
that the Clintons campaign released a new video
The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump, because a lot
of what he believes we believe in Donald Trump would be best
for the job for President
Trump denounced her new line of attack as a brazen attempt at
distraction. When democratic
policies fail. They are left with only this one tired
argument. You're racist, you're racist, you're racist. They keep
saying you're racist. It's a tired disgusting
that's a That is actually the best thing he said at the end
there
is an entire disgusting argument.
What he's saying is they have nothing left to say so they just
go to the right you're racist. You're racist.
You're racist. Yeah,
they knew that now there was spin, but what's new about that?
I don't know. That there was a there's a counter pieces I want
to play. This is and you might want to play the thing. This is
gay N. Oh, Diane. Diane.
Yeah, hold on a second. Where's guy in?
Okay, where they don't have to play it. Oh, I
just wanna know which one is
it? Which guy oh,
this RT Gan on MOOC. Oh, here we go. Now before we play, it just
needs to set up because it's supposed to follow or come
before the ABC piece I just played? Yeah, I think it's it
was say your Prelude was should have been played first. But this
is pretty much the same day coverage with the same kind of
coach within except they don't bring the racist, racist racist
thing in but has the same clip ending with Trump. This is like
taking a whole different, you know, ABC just went after him
had that picture that a woman making goofy faces. Oh, you said
bigot. What does that mean? I don't know. And so instead of
going in that direction, RT goes in a completely different
direction because they are extremely irked by a bunch of
events. Yeah, bunch of events that are citing them. And this
is one of them. And this is Ghana news quite irked by the
story and display this is a different direction altogether
here in
the US or to introduce Green Party nominee Jill Stein, former
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. We extensively covered
Occupy Wall Street, hardly a right wing movement. The fact
is, we've covered many movements, which at their
beginning were hardly noticed by the mainstream media. Ahead of
this presidential election. Hillary Clinton and her
campaigns have persistently tried to somehow link Donald
Trump to the Russian president to insinuate that Trump is
disloyal to his country to discredit him and his
supporters. Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton's campaign
manager went to one of the major networks and tried to discredit
one of Trump advisers Michael Flynn, former head of the US
Defense Intelligence Agency by suggesting he has some
inappropriate ties with the Russian government. His evidence
Michael Flynn was interviewed by RT and was invited to RTS
anniversary in Moscow where the Russian president was also a
guest.
The gentleman he brought with him to his security briefing.
Just last week, is someone who's on the payroll of the Russia
times which is a basically a propaganda arm of the Kremlin.
He was sitting two seats away from Vladimir Putin at their
10th Anniversary Gala. Who
Robbie MOOCs information are T stands for Russia today, not
Russia times. And Michael Flynn is not on RT T's payroll. In an
attempt to brand Clinton opponents as Kremlin agents. The
Clinton campaign has shown little to no regard for facts
and evidence.
Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, who has
gone and mentioned was attacked by Hillary Clinton in her speech
has reacted to her comments. He suggested that she should rather
spend more time speaking to working people than going after
him with what he dubbed dodgy half quotes. Donald Trump has
also reacted to the barrage of accusations towards his election
campaign from his Democratic Party rifle.
It's the oldest play in the Democratic playbook. When
democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one
tired are given.
It's the same, it's the same bite. Everyone likes that one.
Everyone likes that.
Before we go too far, I don't know if you saw all of the
Hillary Clinton speech. But she also launched a new angle of
attack on Donald Trump. I'm not sure if you you caught that or
not? Probably not. Well, first of all, she led into it
beautifully with this clip of which I'm marginally envious,
marginally envious.
It's also what happens when you listen to the radio host, Alex
Jones, who claims that 911 And the Oklahoma City bombings were
inside jobs. He even said, and this really just is so
disgusting. Oh, he even said the victims of the Sandy Hook
massacre were child actors. And no one was actually killed
there. I don't know what happens in somebody's mind or how dark
their heart must be to say things like that. But Trump
doesn't challenge these lies. He actually went on Jones's show
and said, Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down
this from the man who wants to be president of the United
States.
I'm very disappointed. First I mean, first of all, she easily
could have said you know, the no agenda show I'm now marginally
marginally envious. There's no television involved. But But But
what she, I mean, it's really those your examples? I mean,
hello, hello, Clinton campaign come to the no agenda show. If
you want some examples of Alex Jones. Oh,
my God for 25 years. They've been growing babies and cow I
mean, come on. That's, that's classic stuff.
Yeah. 20 plus years,
was that I was just saying that it was much better example.
Here's another one that could use our 20 plus years, they've
had glow in the dark dogs you can buy that are part jellyfish
and come on. That's what you want to play. Come on hills
for 20 years, they've been growing open air HIV corn in
Texas production in about pharmacological horn to Hell
yeah.
Now, so she sets this up beautifully for her next attack.
And this is very interesting that we heard that it was
coming. I heard it, I guess a day before someone said, Oh,
here's what the speech is going to be about. And indeed, she
rolled it out.
Now, of course, there's always been a paranoid fringe in our
politics, a lot of it arising from racial resentment, but it's
never had the nominee of a major party, stoking it, encouraging
it and giving it a national megaphone until now, on David
Dukes radio show the other day, the mood was jubilant. We appear
to have taken over the Republican Party, one white
supremacist, said Duke laughed. Now there's still more work to
do, he replied. So no one should have any illusions about what's
really going on here. The names may have changed, racist now
call themselves racial lists. White supremacist now call
themselves white nationalists. The paranoid fringe now calls
itself alt right, but the hate burns just as bright. And now
Trump is trying to rebrand himself as well. But don't be
fooled. There's an old Mexican proverb that says, Tell me with
whom you walk, and I will tell you who you are, but we know who
Trump is.
Yeah. So saying that the alt right is now supporting Donald
Trump is a big attack, which I don't think that's probably 1%
of people know what the alt right is. And I'm not even sure
what it is.
Well, it has to do with Breitbart. And in the same vein,
and by the way, there's a little poetry she threw a little little
rabbit cute. Mexican round last. Yeah, she that would exactly
what you played there. It's fine because it didn't hear but it
fits right in with what's going on as in the playbook. Because
that means Rachel Maddow is going to be coming out with
something and so she goes after Banyan. I only have a piece of
this as he wears. That's the that's the bright, the Breitbart
guy, the Breitbart guy took over the MSN or MSNBC took over the
head of the CEO, the Trump campaign. You could be there for
a couple of months, maybe. Yeah. And so she comes on she does a
background, not him. I only have the second half of this goes too
long. But apparently he was involved with that. That's that
sphere where people lived in it like they're on the moon for
months on end, something like that. If you remember that it
was the show was a Pauly Shore did a movie about it. The
biosphere, biosphere? That's the thing. He was in biosphere two.
So she she goes off on him and this is right. Well, if that
would Hillary sent the cues out? She obviously got the memo and
here she goes, she
safety issues at the biosphere. He threatened to quote, ram it
down her bleeping throat. He actually admitted to that in
court. He said yeah, I said that. So he seems nice. Steve
Bannon, Donald Trump's campaign CEO was the guy from biosphere
two. That part of his past today. Today's also the day we
learned that Steve Bannon also has a history of being arrested
and charged with domestic violence. On New Year's Day in
1996. Police records first reported by Politico in the New
York Post show that Steve Bannon is then wife a place to call to
911. According to the police report, Mr. Brandon's wife told
the responding officers that he had grabbed her by the wrist and
then by the neck. The reports husband his wife then broke away
from him and ran into the house to try to call police he
reportedly chased her into the home, grabbed the phone out of
her hands and threw it across the room and shattered into
pieces. The police report says responding officers did observe
red marks on Mr. abandons wife's wrist and on her neck. Officers
say they photograph those marks they also found on her phone, in
fact shattered in pieces on. Prosecutors did file charges
against Steve Bannon at the time they charged him with domestic
violence and battery and seeking to prevent a crime victim or
witness from reporting that crime to authorities. That ends
up being important. Steve Bannon was arraigned on March 12 1996.
He pled not guilty to all charges. But his wife at the
time claimed in court documents that Steve Bannon and his lawyer
threatened her you threatened repercussion of course,
then back it up. Back it up to the point where she says that
turns out to be important.
Bannon was arraigned on March 12 1996. He pled not guilty to
ultimate loser
before that. Yeah. Okay, that's fine victim
or witness from reporting that crime to authorities. That ends
up being important. Okay, stop.
Now, I want you to remember that she's what she said.
Yeah. Is it programming this isn't that's important. That's
important, too.
Now, we're going to play the rest of the piece which isn't
too much longer. And I want you to tell me when we get to the
end of it, what she just said there how it applies to anything
in the rest of this report.
Okay, so what was the piece that she said was important?
Back it up? Okay.
Back it up a little more. Here we go.
Seeking to prevent a crime victim or witness from reporting
that crime to authorities. That ends up being important okay.
So important is that he tried to prevent a witness from reporting
a crime. Yeah. Which is kind of what you do when you I mean, you
guys do
that's a bogus it's a bogus charges as you add charges on
the you know, the guy who also walked with his left foot in
there. I mean, this is bullcrap. But Jay walked. The point I'm
trying to make here is what she just said, stands out like a
sore thumb as though now you're in anticipation.
Yes, something's gonna happen. Okay, play it out.
Steve Bannon was arraigned on March 12 1996. He pled not
guilty to all charges. But his wife at the time claimed in
court documents that Steve Bannon and his lawyer threatened
her threatened repercussions against her and her kids, if she
showed up to testify against him on those charges. Well, when its
court date came up. Sure enough, Mr. Brandon's wife did not show
up. prosecutor said they couldn't locate their key
witness and without her there to testify, they said they had no
choice but to drop all charges. Now, late tonight, NBC News has
obtained further documentation related to the case and
specifically to the divorce that happened right after the case
went to court and the charges were dropped. This is again,
this is just in we're just getting the sense. So I'm just
going to quote to you directly from NBCs. Late Night reporting
tonight, quote, we have obtained portions of the large divorce
case between Steven Bannon and his ex wife. Even though the
divorce was initiated in 1997. The couple was still fighting
over everything from their daughter's schooling to spousal
support in 2007. In one instance, his ex wife alleged
that Steve Bannon objected to his daughter's attending a
prestigious West LA prep school, because of quote, the number of
Jews that attend went on to say that quote, doesn't like jews,
and he doesn't like the way they raised their kids to be whiny
brats. And he doesn't want the girls going to school with Jews.
From court documents reported tonight by NBC News, Steve
Bannon is now running Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
We might as well play it. I mean, come on. We never get a
chance to do it.
They fuck up their children. shapeshifting
Wow, that's that's a right had nothing to do with with what was
an important fact.
Right? I was just in a moment of anticipation. Cheap Trick. Yes.
She uses it. And then she, this turns out to be important. No,
it doesn't turn out to be important. You never mentioned
it again. Wow. And then she does what Hillary said in that last
clip. The last part of your clip. Quoting some guy Well,
whoever you walk down the path with is who you are. You are
them. You are them guilt by association. Another cheap
trick, guilt by association. Now, she does the punch line.
This is the guy that is the guy that runs Trump's campaign guilt
by association walking down the same path. The whole thing wraps
up, Hillary, mad owl. It's a setup. It's outrageous.
Oh, I think I have more examples for you.
But I think I have more.
Okay, so let's just stay with the alt right thing and we'll
have to deal with what all right is eventually you and I because
I'm not really sure what it is. It seems like a brand.
It's been defined by the network media people and everybody that
we were we listened to. It's been defined by them. It's been
defined by the left right, actually not even the leftist of
neocon Sam, they've defined it and that's the only definition
we have to work with. We don't know because we haven't looked
into your right
now. I've been we know some things here and there and I've
received some emails that the the true alt right fringe is
really a bunch of scary flankers and I mean that by winkers but
anyway so it carried immediately all those words she said like
nationalism and racism. Racial What did she call rationalist?
And whatever it was all these words racialist racialist, yes,
they're all coming in. This is a Senator Tom Coburn with Chuck
Todd who asked him about this all right stuff, but Donald
Trump data hire the head of Breitbart. And Breitbart is a
news organization that has been fueling this movement. That's
just like saying if somebody hires you chat, Chuck, like
these his chip. Did he say? He said,
I think he's
saying if somebody allows news organization that has been
fueling this movement, that's just like saying, if somebody
hires you chit
chat, chit chats his new name for us chat. That's right. Yeah,
it's no longer it's not shocked. Chuck Todd is Chit Chat. Just
before he's gonna spank him.
This movement, that's just like saying, if somebody hires you
chit chat,
I think I think that's actually a tactic you can apply if you
want. If you're gonna say something to, you know, a
prostitute on television, you just do something like that be a
mess up their name. Because that set somebody up it gets them on
the wrong foot. And it's Oh, shit, man. You know, I'm Chuck,
how can you say Chet? It could be an accident. It could be it
could be attack,
a huge hit the truck and MBCs viewpoint politically as hard as
far left anyway. So therefore, let me work for us, Senator.
Wait a minute. That's your that is not true. I don't know where
you're coming up with an ideological I see NBC NBC MSNBC.
I watch. I see the viewpoints.
We're not We're not left when you're talking about oh, I take
part take offense to that comment.
They actually do liberals are really, really nice to our left.
So MSNBC, this is where the the talking points are all about
Chris Hayes has, yeah. But Michael Eric Dyson, on who I
think is he has a you see a talk show guy but he comes from
academia. I don't know. I'm never heard of him. Yeah, I
actually wrote it down somewhere. I'm pretty sure he
has a radio show. But he comes from, from left wing politics,
if you just want to characterize and listen to the words he's
using.
There's this question, Michael, also about whether you know, how
much of this is performance for essentially affluent, or
suburban white voters, particularly white women, that
voting for Trump in and of itself is not a racist act,
because people do not want to commit that. Right? Well, then
it relates to the point that was just made by represent chick in
regard to it's not a conscious choice of many white brothers
and sisters, if you polled them and asked them, they would deny
it. But isn't that the lure of whiteness, whiteness has been
rendered invisible. It has been the default position of American
identity so that whiteness and nation are seen to be
indissolubility linked. And as a result of that, you don't have
to talk about whiteness, all you have to do is talk about making
America great again, black people hear those words and they
understand what they mean. And yes, to your point, within
African American culture, understanding just what's going
on here, understanding the play that Donald Trump is making now
and let's be real, they many African American people see this
as Okay, Kellyanne Conway comes in and says, Look, you're
leaving on the table, a lot of potential black people who might
resonate with you. The only problem is they can't resonate
with a guy who doesn't understand again if he's not
eating illogical if he's only nationalism, as has been
indicated, again, that doesn't mean he's contradicting the
principles of white nationalism. That means he's reinforcing them
without being held to account and Donald Trump I think isn't a
mass and and massively gifted manipulator and at the end of
the day, there may there may be no no there there. But what's
there at the end of the day, is the quote, that favorite African
American high
let's let's review for a moment,
holy crap, guys. He's got a radio show. I can't imagine
anyone can listen to this guy for I didn't know what Daly
said. Well,
the couple of things first, he said, he said, Okay, whiteness
is equated to nationalism, and therefore black people
understand the code when you say Make America Great Again, you're
saying make America white again. That is pretty much what he
said. Which is
that that that meme has floated out there. They tried to float
it out a few times, right.
But then the thing that I like which I have been hearing
incessantly Be on the lookout for just another no agenda gonna
irritate the crap out of you thing people say is there's no
there there. I'm hearing this All over the place. There's no
there there. It is one of the weakest sentences I can imagine
in the English language. Yeah, there's no there there.
Everybody's saying that
that's that word phrase was first put forward by a Gertrude
Stein, in reference to the city of Oakland. Okay. So I think you
could turn that around and say this is just anyone who says
there's no there there is using that to sue the rigger, I
thought that Oakland which is mostly black people shooting
each other very racist thing to say there's no there there
because you're referring to Oakland blacks.
Tell me exactly the context in which Stein said it.
She was she used to, I think, live around here. And she, she
said it in the context of just her normal political discussion.
This was in the 30s, maybe the 40s, perhaps, before she became
the famous art collector, and she's just said, in regards to
Oakland, so what do we think of Oakland? And she says, there's
no there there, which is a very apt description of the town.
There's not really a town, it's just a blob of sadness.
Well, at the time, no, it wasn't it at the time, which wasn't as
bad as it is today. I mean, it was approaching becoming an All
American city, but it had no soul. Perhaps maybe there was
they needed blacks in this town at the time. I don't know. I
don't know the context of the comment. But that but she's the
one who's first said and she got became very famous for saying
that about Oakland.
Interesting. I've been hearing this on MSNBC. I've been hearing
it on CNN. It is
it's just if I if I heard I say are you referring to Oakland?
Yeah, you have something against blacks? You know, Oakland, in
Oakland. Why are you saying that? Why are you saying that
everyone knows what it what it refers to refers to Oakland.
Interesting. Well, let's
keep our eyes on now. Because it's coming. It's coming more
and more now.
Then we have
Chris Cuomo and CNN. This to me was well, I'm just going a
little a little ask John in here. He has Democratic
Representative from New York, Hakeem Jeffries on. And Hakeem
makes a statement. And I want you to know I want you to well,
there's ask John coming up, listen up.
Well, race has its place in the election. Now to be sure you
have Donald Trump and Hillary. Fighting about who is really the
bigot. You have Clinton swiping a
spot the Bigot we need a new jingle. Now what do we do
alliteration? Something with a B.
Something that big we need to do to jingle
bring on to bring on the biggest the biggest, biggest biggest
burden being paid Betsy it's gotta be
like the spot the spook spot the spook only it's bring on the
biggest and I will work.
Let's let somebody with a creative with a good who does
that sort of thing. Come up with some
fighting about who is really the bigot. You have Clinton swiping
and Trump painting him as a man have a history. With
discrimination. Trump fighting back with insults, including
outright calling Clinton a bigot. Is this helpful on any
level? Let's bring Hakeem Jeffries. He's the Congressional
Black Caucus whip. And a Clinton supporter. Congressman, good
morning. I know the answer to these questions. Everybody does.
Who's rational says terrible. It couldn't be more
counterproductive. The question is, how can this in any way
become something that is helpful to improving the situations in
certain big city impoverished communities?
Well, I think Hillary Clinton consistently would like to keep
the campaign focused on issues of empowerment for all
Americans, including the African American community.
There's like 20 seconds, listen to the whole thing.
All right, communities?
Well, I think Hillary Clinton consistently would like to keep
the campaign focused on issues of empowerment for all
Americans, including the African American community and other
communities of color. But time and time again, what we found is
that Donald Trump has sort of outsourced parts of his campaign
to white supremacist groups. He did that in the primary and very
clear, fascinating. He's continued that pattern in the
general election
in fairness.
Okay, so the guy says, Trump has outsourced his campaign to white
supremacist groups. And you hear Chris Cuomo starting to
interrupt. Now, John, does Chris Cuomo say hold on a second? What
evidence do you have of this? Or does he
say something else?
And he says something else? It's not even a fun game anymore. Is
it? So?
No, in Ferris can't ignore that. There's
something we hear congressman, in this election, I think
especially so which is one side does something that deserves to
be criticized. And what they do is they deflect by saying, Yeah,
but what about this thing that we're seeing that right now?
Hillary Clinton is beating Donald Trump without being If
there's your answer no he just lets it go. He just lets it go.
He of course he does.
That's not that's a big that's I think as a as a as a news
organization you probably wouldn't just let that go the
worst that those guys I don't know what the deal is with CNN.
But as you as I mentioned in the Lerner report it's it's it's
borderline embarrassing to listen to the station then and
we have a clip here where they were they have a couple of CNN I
think these are both CNN does another like I said, our tea is
irked by buy the whole thing. I mean, let's play here. Okay,
this is an interesting one play this RT irked politico tidbit.
This is an interesting piece of information I just picked up I'm
gonna have to look it up, but surprise me.
It is Caleb Maupin has more.
Hillary Clinton has a peculiar relationship with the US media,
while news media outlets like CNN and MSNBC claimed to be
unbiased. You can't help but notice that when people start
criticizing the Democratic nominee for president, they get
a little bit touchy. You can't just not letting police and the
police if you look over this way, all right,
Miguel, thank you so much. We're gonna cut you off. Right,
we're gonna cut you off right now. We're gonna cut you off
right now. We're going to cover right now boys to men.
It transpired that one of the writers from Politico was
actually sending stories not first to his editor, but to the
Democratic National Committee, apparently for approval. Yeah,
now RT definitely is, is all over it.
Yeah, the favorite thing is the political guy. I mean, this is
what kind of journalist is this? And which I'll look into. And
then they had the one cut off, which was this. I saw that
particular episode that yeah, screaming You're making it up.
You're making it up. But she's quoting from some report. And
then the other one was getting the guy getting cut off by I
forgot who was that host on that one. We got to cut you off. They
it was blatant. He didn't know how to do it. Right. He's the
way you're supposed to do it. Oh, I think we lost. We lost a
connection. Yeah.
I had one of the I have one of those. I'm not sure of exactly
where I have one of those. It's beautiful.
We lost a feed. Oh, well, we'll get back to him.
Sorry, satellite transmission issues. It's how it goes.
Please, please, please, please.
So RT was on a roll. And I just got two more clips to play from
that. So get out of the way. But let's play this one. This is
this is the one that really irks them, amongst others. This is
the Hillary blames Putin clip. It's a classic.
Meanwhile, Clinton says she's found a single source doing
everything it can to derail her campaign, and it's not an email
scandal or suspicious donations to foundation.
That grand godfather of this global brand of extreme
nationalism is Russian president, Vladimir Putin. And
in fact, Faraj regularly appears on Russian propaganda program.
Now he's standing on the same stage as the Republican nominee.
Trump himself heaps preys on Putin, and embraces pro Russian
policies. And it's
clear if I had not heard that one.
Oh, I thought you did. No, no, I'm damned. I will gladly take
clip of dynamite Putin. No, no, the logic of this is eluding
because it's like, why would Vladimir Putin promote right
wing nationalist movements around the world? He's a
communist. So okay, hey,
those guys that have a stretch, those guys are rooting for
Putin. rootin for Putin,
and it's just a ludicrous commentary. But here's the one I
don't remember what this is about, but it's got something to
do with this. This is Hillary game humor.
Meanwhile, a US Army unit has described Hillary Clinton as a
potential threat from within her picture appeared alongside the
photos of whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning and
a slide from a training class that was widely circulated
online. Are these Caleb Maupin took to the streets of
Washington to ask Americans if they agree with the threat
assessment? Oh, not
a man on the street bed.
Come on. Artie. You're better than that.
insider threat, a disgruntled or careless employee
back Obama. Do you think I think Clinton Why do you think that
because she's a liar. on America.
And you're right. Liz, did you know the guy Shut up the board
when you talk? Oh,
Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden. Others who do you think that
they put their Hillary Clinton you think it was Hillary
Clinton?
Well She can't be trusted in everything she says lies. She's
Teflon, Jane. I mean, everything she does is just falls off her
back.
Do you trust Hillary Clinton?
I'd love a guy redneck is like Teflon Jane. See that idea
redneck is you use a tease, like Teflon Tiffany. I don't know.
Something like that. Yeah, that didn't quite work for him.
That's pretty funny. What did you see Kimball? No, sorry,
Kimball Fallon. Of course, NBC. Fallon had a very interesting
performance on the show, and I don't have the best recording of
it. But I do have enough and we stopped whenever you want me it
was truly one of the most pathetic seeing things I've seen
from an artist I generally respect
for her work.
But the Barbra Streisand is known that she hates performing
live, this woman does not like performing live. So she's so
hyped up. It's now her turn, which
also, she's also known, by the way she has a place up by where
we are in Washington. Every once in a while Mimi runs into either
her or her husband.
I think she told that story
was a couple of stories, a bunch of stories because she's running
into a number of times, but she ran into her husband, rollin,
rollin, yeah, who apparently parades around this one store,
you know, this kind of his chin in the air looking around with
the sunglasses on and looking very Hollywood ish. Nobody
recognizing Port Angeles, Washington. Well, this actually
in swim, which is even more pathetic.
Don't you recognize me? Shopkeeper so
so at some point, she bumped into him or something. She says
that he says something. And he says to her
demeaning. Yes. And maybe doesn't embellish
these cases of celebrity stories because he knows plenty of them.
And she says he says, Do you know who I am?
Classic, a classic
classic. And she says she looked me straight in the face. And she
said to him, Do you know who I am? And then that kind of
shorted him out like, you know, Kirk and the robot and just
shook a little bit and wandered off.
Is like confused the celebrity. That's right, everybody.
So she's best known as being an outrageous Democrat. Yes. Ooh,
threatened. She said, If George Bush gets reelected, I'm leaving
the country actually says she said, when Bush got elected, if
George Bush gets elected, I'm leaving the country if George
Bush bush gets reelected, I'm leaving the country. Well, I
guess if you live in squirm, that's kind of its kind of
leaving the country close enough.
So she does not like performing live. And she I don't know. I
mean, I this had theirs. I don't know how much Fallon has to do
with his own show. I think Kimmel does a lot more on his
show than Fallon. Yeah, I think so too. Because fat I mean,
there's no way you would approve this. It was pathetic. So he
does a song with her. He's dressed up like Trump. And you
know, first of all, it's a callback to a song from the 40s
very, very, very sad to me for someone who I really liked for
what she does I've liked her music I'm a pussy that way
except for that you know that whole gentle thing that didn't
work for me but everything else you know we've very good come on
We've nothing to be guilty
of wishing all the best words when you hear me saying you're
gonna be blown away Oh, give me like your hair and a windstorm
is all of this like we're making hair jokes throughout the whole
thing because that's really funny. I mean you're ready
you can do I can do better I can do anything better than you know
you can yes I can. No you can't Yes I can no sad Yes I can yes I
can yes I can. Any wall you can build I can build taller not
built I can build any wall taller than you
maybe Martin Short wrote this bit for them.
This is old and tired.
I don't know where they got this idea.
And it's all hair jokes to the very end it's anything hair
shaming. Want to hear a little more?
Yeah, no, you can't.
She seems like she doesn't have her voice.
No. Oh, no. Well, the first line was okay, but then she knows I
agree with you. She didn't have a voice.
No, you can't Yes, I can. I'm gonna get bass good or bad for
don't count on to D flat, B flat. I can build casinos and
deport Latinos. They can vote for him. She's going to lose.
She's going to win and she's going to win. A you stole my
line. That is really, really low. Are you talking about me?
But your latest poll numbers confirm shock and say soft. I
can say anything subject and you can guess again. No you can.
Yes, I can. Yes. larious You're right.
I
won't be careful. He only he only listens to me down but
that's his hair. That's growling apparently. Okay.
Well, you pretty much know you're a free but Donald. My new
campaign manager. No way Jose. Jose. Where's he getting out of?
This? Okay, I'll be right back.
Sad to me. Yeah, well, it
was lame.
I mean, what is the audience of that show? Are they really that
old?
Nobody heard this before. I'm sure true. That's true. Sounds
familiar?
Oh, just on the just kind of wrapping up the political part
here. Well, before you add one more clip. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah,
I got a clip to go ahead. What you got?
This is the again from RT this is their bashing. And then in
the mood. This is they brought this guy Dr. Doom on the doctor,
this Sofiane company. I never rarely watch the show. And Dr.
Doom whose name like you're just kind of a loser. But he's a very
famous I think. I think I've played a clip from that guy. One
point having Yeah, he's a character. Yeah. And he's a
basic stock market predictor. And he's living in Thailand, or
Yeah, I know you're talking. But he's not the same guy. You I
think you'd think of somebody else. But this guy is actually
named Dr. Doom and he's got some other name. But Sophie asked him
about the Clinton thing and he this guy. I thought this was
very funny.
Now what Mrs. Clinton is saying she said that if she's elected,
she will put her husband former President Bill Clinton in charge
of the US economy to revitalize the US economy now. He oversaw a
period of economic growth in the US and a nine days. And he be
interested with the American economy once again.
He will revitalize corruption in America. The Clinton family is
involved in so many scandals. That is what is going to happen.
There will be massive and increased crony capitalism. The
US always accuses other country of corruption of crony
capitalism, but in America, it's even more extreme.
Is Yes.
I can't it's funnier. Yeah. Much better. I came across a video in
some of these new emails that have come out as I continued to
kind of scour them and there was a big meeting with Victor
Pinchuk. And it was one of these meetings that she declined,
declined, declined and then it came through the foundation and
then she took
the meeting. And Victor Pinchuk,
if I'm saying if I'm pronouncing that correctly, is a Ukrainian
businessman and philanthropist. And yeah, he's like a one and a
half to $2 billion type guy. And this is all before my dad
happened. And that by itself, okay, you know, that the
Clintons were involved somehow, you know, with with and he also
has a legacy he has. I think he has something to do with oil. He
has interpipe group. There you go. Toby has a international
investing project funding financial advisory company, and
then interpipe, which is one of the leading pipe wheel and steel
producers. And yet what I found interesting is not so much that
she took that meeting, but the deal that had been done with his
wife, with Victor pincher ex wife, and her name is Elena
Pinchuk. And she started and this is all before the my dad
and all everything in Ukraine happened. She started the Lena
Pinchuk anti AIDS Foundation. And we know that all of the
Clinton Global is all the Clinton Foundation's money
including the HIV AIDS Foundation, which was not even a
legal foundation at its founding and edits funding. And so they
they announced then after that, a two and a half million dollar
commitment from the Clinton HIV AIDS Initiative with her anti
AIDS Foundation, which is purely to raise awareness so that's a
payoff of some 40s Yeah, for some fucking pay off. These
people are so braised
the whole thing is pay offs, it's pay offs and bribes and but
I have to it's just stuns me that people put Don't nobody
wants to see it that way. I mean, the media No, but that
it's the media really blind to this or they just? Well, well, I
think
I think I can answer that question. Good. Yeah, I'm gonna
try. Slate has a podcast, which is generally annoying to listen
to, generally. But they had a guest on today. Adam Davidson, I
believe he is the guy who either started or co founded planet
money on NPR, the planet money guy. And they're talking about
believing you don't need to listen to the it's in the show
notes at 855 dot no agenda notes.com. You don't need to
listen to my unless you want to be irritated. But then at a
certain point, the found the planet money guy goes into his
experience with the Clinton Global Initiative. And I think
so this is a mainstream media guy. And let's hear what he had
to say when his guard was perhaps let down a little bit.
Because it's a podcast, I've
spent a decent amount of time at the Clinton Global Initiative, I
sort of fell into this thing, which what I'm about to say
means I'm probably gonna fall out of this thing, but knew
that had the by the way that caught my attention when he said
that it's like, oh, really, someone's gonna say something
interesting.
What I'm about to say means I'm probably going to fall out of
this thing. But I've been because I've spent a lot of time
reporting in Haiti, they often asked me to moderate their big
Haiti panel every year. And, and to be clear, I don't make any
money or anything like that. But oh, go and moderate a panel at
the Clinton Global Initiative and go to a few other sessions.
And I've done some other things there. And there is a real
creepy vibe to me personally, at the Clinton Global Initiative,
it seems to me that it is all about buying access, you know,
it's incredibly expensive just to go to the thing. It's
hundreds of 1000s or 100, something $1,000 to go and you
meet all these people who are sort of selling their little
private equity, energy startup, or whatever. And there's sort of
these explicit ways in which you get access, you pay more money
to get more access to political leaders, and to really rich
people. There's this and two big corporate leaders, there's this
kind of creepy theater that happens where you have the CEO
of Coca Cola, or IBM or whatever, GE up there with
President Clinton. And they're just bathing each other in love
over how generous and wonderful they are, and how much they care
about the world. And all these like earnest people applauding
and thrilled, and then, you know, every hour or so they
parade, you know, Angelina Jolie has hustled through a room and
she doesn't stop or talk to anyone. She's not like hanging
out. But you get to say that you were with Angelina Jolie that
morning. It just feels like the worst version of an elite
selling access to the aspirational to creating this
theater of doing good, but it's all about something else. It
really feels gross. I remember one year the opening night was
opening night party was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And
they literally like there was the second floor that was
blocked off by Secret Service, where Bill Clinton is standing
where you can see him with all the like, truly elite, and then
the rest of us are like staring up at them because we didn't pay
enough money to get up there
literally holding it above your head. Yeah, given that, given
that, Adam, should they do what they said they're going to do
after the election right now, which is cut off foreign donors.
Now,
they and my experience, by the way, just to reiterate, because
I would be involved in kind of planning these panels is the
Clinton Global Initiative, which is separate from the Clinton
Foundation related but a separate staff a separate
office, at least it used to be, they would really want like a
good event like with controversy. And actually, you
know, they the reason they came to me is because I you know,
have produced radio shows, and they wanted like to create a
good hour of conversation where people disagree. And then the
Clinton Foundation typically would come in and say, no, no,
no, you need to do it this way, where it's just a bunch of
people congratulating each other on how awesome they are. And
here's a head of state of a foreign government, who needs to
be on that panel, even though they have literally nothing to
say. But we promised him a slot. Yes, it's disgusting. If you are
planning for 12 years to run for president or 816 years, whatever
it is. Don't set up a foundation where you're beholden to
scumbags from other countries like, yeah, that's ridiculous.
And if you're Secretary of State, tell your husband not to
do business with them. And there's this like second tier
mean, which some people a bit like the Clinic Foundation does
so much good around the world. I feel fairly confident it is not
in the top tier. I mean, if you talk to development
professionals, it is not in the top tier. I have seen their work
in Haiti up close in person. There's some very good people
who work there, but they are Haiti is one of their singular
focuses. It's a very small country. They have not had a
major impact on Haiti. It's more the performance of very public
charity Not the actual interview. It's not good, deep
and meaningful ways.
There you go mainstream really lets it out.
Holy crap. That's Clip of the Day.
I'll take it. Thank you Wow. Yeah. And, you know, I've spoken
to my former neighbor, by the
way, stop. I'm gonna give you a little kudos for this. I think
you're dead right? The guy was thinking it's I'm on a podcast,
I can be free to talk freely. Oh, yeah.
Big mistake. I would avoid hot tubs canoes and small aviation
aircraft. Yeah, that's not a good idea.
Yeah, the height was
blooming and long go podcasting. people let their guard down.
That's fantastic. You should have heard them doing the
Harry's razor commercial together. That was actually
pretty funny stooges. So there you go. This is the guy who's
involved. Personally, I've heard the same thing from the My
former New York banker friend, who, you know, he ran a
sovereign wealth fund or he ran the banking business for
sovereign wealth funds. That was his main sales opportunity. Hi,
we'd be there. Spend a quarter of a million for the access so
we could stand up wherever other people looking up at him. He was
up there with the elites. I said, Excuse me bank would pay
for that. Obviously,
I liked it. I liked the symbolism.
Of course. And I love you know, they trot Angelina Jolie out for
a moment. But let me tell you, but I was just thinking about
this earlier, because I saw some pictures of some stuff making
you keep getting put that clip aside. I want to bring it back
into the conversation. So of course,
of course, I was thinking of this in relation to a minor
scandal that's that's surrounding
Leonardo DiCaprio. He has,
which actually funny enough, I got the story from my New York
banker friend who said, who sent me this story. And he said, you
know, we should get a DA F of our own, like, what's the DA F?
So I read the story. Later, DiCaprio has a foundation. And
it's it was the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, but then it
kind of turned into it. Not a nonprofit, but what is known as
a donor advised fund, which is great. And then the donors help
you advise you on the fund and then they give some money to
some community charity. But if you look at the fundraiser,
which coincidentally this whole story broke that there was bad
Malaysian money, there's money laundering going through this
thing. There's all kinds of crazy stuff and he's backed out
of fundraisers for Hillary because he was toxic right now.
But I look at the pictures. It funny enough the week after I
wasn't in the south of France. He had a fundraiser for his for
his donor advised fund man is a beautiful vehicle we got to get
one of these giant and there's all these supermodels. And
including down Dawa crews, with doubts a cruise cruise doubt
whatever the Dutch girl famous model. There are all these
models hanging out. And I know I need to remind people that many
of these these agencies, I'll just say Willamina agency and
some of these other ones, they really are pimped, and they then
they take these, you know, they get paid to bring these women to
these types of parties with all these elite douchebags and they
they ham it up and take pictures and I'm sure the more may be
going on. It's really quite disgusting. And I'm pretty sure
this happened at the Clinton Foundation to CGI in New York.
And just all of it so he didn't surprise me now. I have one
more. I'm shocked.
Yeah, I
know. Boring is going on. Well, it's sad. It's sad. It's sad.
Here's Trey Gowdy. He's, he's still mad. Trey Gowdy, of
course. Is the Lawyer Republican who's been kind of lead along
with Che fits in.
Yeah. Blue Blue. The Benghazi hearings? Yes. Yeah, my opinion.
Yes.
My takeaway was this. Remember James Comey said she was not
indicted because he didn't have sufficient evidence on the issue
of intent. I didn't see any questions on the issue of
intent. There's no question she handled them negligently are
extremely carelessly. He said he didn't go forward with charges
because she didn't have specific criminal intent. I didn't see
any questions on that. She said she did it for convenience. But
I didn't see the follow up questions in the interview I
read.
Alright. So as an attorney, what kind of questions would you have
asked you say there were no questions that went to the issue
of whether or not she had intent. What would you have
asked?
Well, there are two ways to do it. One is circumstantial
evidence. The other is direct evidence. The direct evidence
would be Madam Secretary, why did you set up this email server
this way? Why did you not take a state.gov email address and her
response was, and it always has been convenience. And then
that's when you press and say, Well, what can be more
convenient than just doing a state.gov email address? The
labyrinthine effort that you made this to create this
separate Over. That's what's inconvenient. I did ask why did
you delete emails?
Yeah, that's a great point. Because I had not heard of that.
And yet she of course, she's, this is a PR talking point we
say, well, I was out of convenience everybody Yeah, I
got my personal emails that have my work mail to had pain in the
ass. But it's not the same as setting up a Gmail when you set
up your own
to deal with an IT guy several IT issues. Yeah, that's not
convenient.
I think he makes a very valid point here.
effort that you made this to create this separate server.
That's what's a convenient, I will then ask, why did you
delete emails that you kept for a year and a half? Keep in mind
these personal emails, she didn't bother to delete them for
a year and a half. It was the fall of 2014, a year and a half
after she left the State Department that she decided to
start deleting emails, why didn't you delete them? The
month you left? Why didn't you delete them six months after you
left? And the other question they should have asked her is,
Madam Secretary, why didn't you turn your emails over the day
you left service? You gotta leave? Why did you do this for
almost two years? At a time? Thank you. We'll be right back.
Just
get them all. Stop. We're out of time. I'm sorry. We're out of
time run out of time. You gotta go on a roll. You're out of
time. The only other clip I have, which came kind of as no
surprise, and I don't think it got a lot of media attention at
all. We're always wondering what people do with their with their
campaign funds they've raised, you know, after after they lose.
Now there's many of course who have no more money left and have
debts and that's a bad day. I have to presume that the Bernie
Sanders movement the maybe there was some money left?
Well, you think I would assume,
right is good. A raise a lot of money? Yeah.
Well, I think he's figured out what to do with it. Can I
want to introduce you to a new independent, nonprofit
organization called our revolution, which is inspired by
Bernie 2016.
Inspired inspired is funded you mean is funded, which is
inspired
by the historic.
It's a great choice of words, it's inspired, no, is inspired
by the historic Bernie 2016 presidential campaign. Over
time, our revolution will involve hundreds of 1000s of
people. These are people who will be fighting at the
grassroots level for changes in their local school boards, in
their city councils, in their state legislatures, and in their
representation in Washington.
And what's interesting about this nonprofit is that it's a
501 C. Four C nonprofit, which means it's a lobbying
organization, your your donations are not tax
deductible. And that's where the money went. And if you look at
our revolution.com, which is another, just a little minor
hint that it's not all do gooder stuff. because.com and not.org.
You'll see a dad that's minor. Yeah. Well, you'll see that they
have a whole page called our candidates. And it's all these
candidates in let's see, well, every state, every state,
they've got a candidate. So it's a lobbying organization. And
legally, it's a lobbying organization
do some with the money I know but I just know waiting. Give it
back to people that you know, that could I mean, it has been
really tracking Oh, no, because I mean, the Clintons did the
best job of it. They just have this fight. You know, this slush
fund, it's way to go. I got a kind of a throat Well, actually,
it might clip later. I think we're running
well in that case. Let me thank you very much for your courage
and say in the morning to you John C when the C stands for
cooter DeVore Ack.
Cooter. Yes,
I'd like to word I heard it the other day. I

way to knighthood as well. He recently received some really
good news and I was hoping you guys could throw together a
montage of Trump, Hillary jobs.
That's Trump Pelosi jobs. We don't have it with Hillary.
Yes, it's Trump Pelosi, he's confused. He's just putting
Hillary there because it was on his mind because the mainstream
media keeps pumping her name followed by Obama's we we can't

available. So I'll look for it. Yep. And finishing up with a
shut up slave clip as a congratulations to him from you

Jason Miller in I'm sorry. Sorry. Tim nonnamous came in
with 23456 and all he does is he sends a check. He puts a big
post that no right on the check says his name Tim nonnamous. And

big check, but I'm talking
like one of those like from clearing Publishers Clearing
House big check like a big cardboard
check. $1,000 Check. INS tonight checkout. It's always
scotch taped.
Oh, you mean like it's been opened and sealed again? By the?
No, it was when a guy put it together. He got paranoid
because it's a big check. And so he scotch taped it. No, no.
Yeah. So when I go through the man so now this of course won't
work anymore. Because the Joker's out there that listen to
the show. We're gonna just scotch tape everything and then
have nothing inside. Yeah, like, Hey,
here's your one penny check them off.
But that'll end and to go back to normal. Jason Miller,
meanwhile, came in with $213.75 from Millersburg. The town named
after him in Ohio. Jason Miller's town is Millersburg in
the well. Oh, that's the way I've got so I'm
sorry. I didn't really I thought that was in the note. Like oh,
cool. He's got a town Nice.
So I'm gone. It's 855
quarters is what he did here. This is nice. I didn't realize
that's a very good donation amount
is in the morning. Please accept his donation amount of
213 75 855 quarters that's a good idea now he just like a
show club.
You know what I'm gonna put him in the in the club.
Are we that this point is this now we made a decision? Well,
that borders I think it's not a bad idea.
I think it's a pretty good idea. Do I do the corners do the
quarters club? That's also sounds good on.
occasion, the quarters club. We just decide the show works.
Yeah.
We are meeting meeting adjourned. Please, except
Jay help fund your ongoing efforts to bring sanity to us
all. I'm a minute Mennonite firefighter from the heart of
Amish country, Ohio, right on, which I'm guessing puts me in
pretty small group of listeners. I'm sure yes, you're right.
Yeah. With those.
How about how about a meet up over there?
Hey, hey, hey,
I've been a short time listener around Episode 760, the first
time donor. So I am requesting a de douching. Particular jingle
request. But if possible, I'd like to request some value for
value comma for the small nonprofit I helped start several
years ago with provides technology and software to fire
departments and other first responders.
Oh, yeah, he sent me a rather long and it's open source. It's
very beautiful project actually what he's doing.
We recently implemented a new software service using the value
for value model, which cost us about $30,000 to make and so
far, every seem to only 2700 So we're a desperate need of karma.
Yeah. Adam, your entire production. Fantastic. Thanks to
both of you for all your hard work and make this show
possible. There's hoping that we'll get to listen to 855 more
episodes of the best podcast in the universe. Jason Miller and
Millersburg
Yeah, it's a cool project. He's got going I'll see if he has a
URL, but you know, they can tie in assets and information about
any because a lot of violent volunteer fire departments so
and so they can figure out they all connect to the central
system, you know, I should read the email again, then I'll be
able to explain it better but it hit me just on just reading it
like Oh, that's really cool. A value for value open source
software project. I like that a lot. So here is your karma, sir.
Thank you very much, Jason Miller. You've got karma This is
an anonymous although for some reason it's not marked as such
on the spreadsheet just so you know. It's
been too long since my last donation Yep. Oh, yeah. And it
puts it at the end Wrong. Wrong. Good catch in Dublin, Ohio, Mr.
Anonymous who puts the request at the end which is not the way
to go you put a right at the beginning and caps Yeah, all
caps and too long since my last one day because it died looked
at it. I didn't see it. Keep up the great work and
entertainment. Give them a Carmen and of course that
karma interrupt us easy.
I think concludes our listing of the executive and Associate
Executive producers for sure.
855 Yes, sir.
I do have one mention. The see oops, and I forgot to put his
name in my notes here. Well, it's a test anyway. So when it
goes full, full blown. We'll promote him for doing this. You
know, we have we tried to distribute this program to as
many ways as possible. We use BitTorrent Sync. Now we were
using bit love because they had some I think No, this is
probably it was a great idea, but nothing really came of it of
the bit love service and it goes up and down. What would they do
is they take your existing RSS feed, and they create a bit a
torrent out of your mp3 and then G have a separate RSS feed. That
is just for torrents which is used quite a bit on our show.
But that feed is not working properly. So our producer set up
with a domain name, an RSS feed, at no agenda torrent.com. About
that. That's dynamite. Thanks, very dynamite. And right now he
only has two in there. So it's 853 854. And of course,
hopefully today 855 will update the request is if everyone can
please review it, take a look, see if it works, if we need
anything else, and and we'll feed that back on the show. And
it's great. So we have yet another distribution mechanism
of the best podcast in YouTube are interviewing
the guy when I shoot, I'd like to mention people since we did
get a response with additional donations because we actually
have our own, we do not use pod bean.
That's your that's your go to your go to name, pod bean,
pod bean and Joker net and some of these other crazy ways as
Joker net, you pay him a bunch of money and then you eventually
run out of bandwidth. And of course, these operations are all
pretty much the same. You run out of the bandwidth. And
instead of them like fronting, you know, saying I will edit the
slide. No, no, no, no, you're done. You get a message. This
guy's out of bandwidth. He didn't pay enough money. And so
you don't get to download anything. I mean, the it's just
unbelievable to me the way these things operate. And there's a
lot of personalization. You look at pod bean, by the way they
have a million podcasts that are you can find on there. And it's
like, Okay, that's great. I mean, maybe not No, no, we have
our own we have developed with great expertise. And luckily we
do have some of the smartest guys in the world or zero
mountain vortex. Yes. Yeah, those guys are outrageous. And
so they can and we're working with some other people that are
making pick up some of their extra bandwidth because we know
how to do that. Yeah. And we know how to make these sorts of
connections and make it work. And but it's a complicated
system. It's not something and I'm not in Jive had nothing to
do with this as Adam side of the of the business, which is why
the two of us worked so well together because we have
complementary skills. And we just do what we have to do to
make sure that this thing stays on the air in any way it can.
Because there's moments if you're, for example, was one of
these podcasts distributing companies and somebody says,
Hey, we just cut this cut these guys off. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well,
it'd be done. Yeah, it take us weeks to get back on track to
lose listeners, you'd
be out. But you know, really, the thing that's interesting
about podcasting, which was not really anticipated, but and it
was really created for a different reason. Because these
days, everything is so fast, you can pretty much you know, click
and play. But when you use a podcast app, which of course
that people use the podcast app, there's many other good ones for
iOS and Android. And but all I will say you look at the
numbers, it's iPhones have the biggest make the biggest use of
the RSS feed, you have to imagine that there's no way we
don't really know how many people download the show or
listen to the show. It could be 4000 40,000 400,000. But when I
released the show, okay, just imagine we have a hose. And this
hose can fit, you know, X amount of water through it. But then
let's just say these 4000 40,400 1000 all at the same
time go oh, there's a new show. I'm going to download it now.
And you have no control on our end over when the download
starts to pretty much these things are always looking for a
new episode, boom, there's new episode. And so just imagine
every single day at the City of Los Angeles trying to drink
through a garden hose. Now, these guys have figured out how
to make that pretty seamless. And it does work with bursting
and crying. I don't know how but it's
but it's all our stuff. Yeah, it's all our stuff. And I
think and I think we do it very well.
I think we do as well as anyone think
we do it as well as you can do
for you know, a couple
of dudes.
Yeah, or just a couple of dudes with some new words and
microphones.
We rely on our own infrastructure completely. Yeah,
we do and we're not using pod bean.
Thank you all very much. Our Executive Associate Executive
Producers these of course are real credits. They can be used
anywhere credits are accepted and make use of them and you
know, and when people are always tweeting out pictures of the
night rings and stuff. If you have a cool place for your for
your producer credit we'd like to see that as well. And we will
be thanking our other list of donors later on in our $50 or
above segment and of course we will have another show coming up
on Thursday. Remember us at VO rec dot org slash in a knot,
right? We need to be remembered. When you are propagating the
formula,
our formula is this. We go out, we get people in the mouth
instead of incidence
Shut up slave.
Yo, yo Xiao Z. I was gonna have a little throwback clip.
So I was watching C span and they had JEFFREY TOOBIN on
JEFFREY TOOBIN is a writer Democrat. Yeah. And he just did
a book on he just he's out pushing his book on. Patty
Hearst though Patty
Hearst? Really Why is he doing that?
I have no idea. That's odd. Whenever they got I don't know
if it's gonna be a big seller. But he's got some news stories.
But they went on because he went out of the blue. He says, Well,
you know, I think Al Gore won the election in 2000. And things
would be a little bit it's for some reason to use it as a
backup for something he was discussing. And I don't know
what happened to the somebody said, Put a bug in the in the
interviewers ear. Some said, Hey, play this clip. So he's see
what Toobin thinks. So and this is the recount story that I you
know, to be honest about it. I thought I knew most of this
stuff. But I don't remember this. I think it was kept away.
I think the information was kept away from the public, because I
think they mean that Al Gore really won the election so he
can come out and promote his global warming thing and right
walk on the stage and say, Hi, I'm your president. That was
whatever he said, got gypped. This is the clip. This is the
recount. One recount. Story. One,
remind us what the Miami Herald concluded about the Florida
election?
Sure. Well, I'll tell you what we did. First of all, is after
the US Supreme Court decided that there would be no fullscale
recount of the vote in Florida, we decided that we should
determine for history's sake, what were the real results. And
so we did our own recount, we went to every one of the 67
counties in Florida, and obtained all the ballots. And we
were able to do that under the really expensive public records
law of Florida, which is really wonderful. And so we we obtained
all the ballots, we went with a an accounting firm, BDO Cvent at
the time, and they did their account, and we did our counts
as journalists. And we went through every single ballot. And
we had the Supervisor of Elections actually hold up the
ballot. And we recorded whether that ballot how that ballot was
voted.
Yeah, that was the hanging chads. We all saw that right.
The hanging chads and we'll put into account as a vote, we're
taking into account Okay,
gotcha. Alec was voted, and whether that ballot could in
fact be counted, because in some instances, the ballots were
marked in a way that couldn't possibly be counted. And there
were as you may recall, there were different standards. So the
question is, how do you judge the so called hanging chads? So
A, if you had ballots that were punctured in some way? If the
little piece of paper was sort of hanging on? Did you count out
or did you not count that? And so we looked at the vote under
various standards. And we determined that George Bush
actually won that election in Florida. Really?
Yeah, I never heard this story either heavy No, no, not at all.
This is a this is Martin Baron, the head of the editor in chief
of the Miami Herald that Miami Herald is a reasonably very well
respected newspaper. And they brought in an accounting firm
and they spent about I don't know how long but they went
through every single ballot and turned determined Bush one
nobody plays this story because it's not the narrative they want
you to hear. You just have Gore was robbed. Yes, he was. Now Joe
been sitting there being interviewed by a different guy.
This is an old clip, and tube and he has to jump in with his
little well. And then when you listen to the players with his
well, they date somebody else did this and and they find that
Gore one and if so, play this part here. And then this, just
take one more look at the what he has to say.
If I can just add one more point, certainly the Miami
Herald did their own recount later, the National Opinion
Research Research Center at the University of Chicago did a
different even more comprehensive recount, sponsored
by a consortium of news media organizations, including the New
York Times and The Washington Post. That report was that
not true? No, they did.
But it was this whole thing was rigged. It was the Chicago
operations, the National Research Council, whatever it is
out of the University of Chicago in is is run by a Democrat
always has been the New York Times a Democrat front. Yeah,
the Washington Post outrageous promoted to the Denver This is
bullcrap. Yeah,
sponsored by a consortium gm of news media organizations
including the New York Times and The Washington Post, that
reached a somewhat different conclusion that that said, if
the whole state had been recounted, Gore would have won.
Now, if only the four counties Gore sought to have recounted,
Bush would have one. And that was a tactical mistake by Al
Gore. It was a it was certainly a tactical mistake to call for
only a four, a four counties of recount. But I think the broader
issue, is this. What we know for sure, is that the Supreme
Court's decision in Bush v Gore, and the recounts
now,
this is not I mean, okay. The New York Times in the Washington
Post, would you all in for Gore, and I think both papers
recommended him. They came up with this scheme to like
debunked what a very thorough recount of the whole entire
state of Florida even though tubin Kind of makes us only want
to do these four counties, which isn't true. The entire state of
Florida came up with the answer that Gore that Bush won, and
that was that and they, they were probably as good as you
couldn't probably do any better than that. They didn't. They
said they took a bunch of standards into account and still
came up with Bush. The big papers that they didn't like
that meme, and they killed it, they killed the meme, CA and
then made the meme Gore won. And that's what everybody's still
kind of uses as a standard standard. Al Gore probably won
Gore won Florida, the Supreme Court, but it is well no,
it's it goes it's it goes like this. Jeb Bush was the governor
of the state and rigged it also his brother could win.
Yeah, well, if you want to take it to
the guy, that is the mean, come on. That's the meme. That's how
I hear it all
the time. So this is a meme that is floating around. And I just
thought this story was interesting. It was a wildly
different I
didn't hear that either. I did not know that. It actually I had
written something down for us to talk about. Boy show prep. This
is another meme slash theory that is going around in lots of
nods starting to creep a little bit more into the mainstream.
And after the hiring of the Bannon Bannon guy from
Breitbart, and of course, Roger Ailes being fired from Fox and
friendly with Trump. And I hear this from people who are very
serious about it. The word is Oh, no, no, no, this this Trump
is not really trying to win. He is just getting set up to start
his new media empire is going to be Trump TV. And he's going to
it's going to be out foxing Fox, and that's really what this is
all about.
Yeah, I've heard I've heard this. It's it's crazy. Yeah, I
mean,
what I want you I'm gonna ask you this have been I see this
every so often they this was the same situation when George Bush
was president. They kept flip flopping. Is George George
Bush's an evil genius. Or George Bush is a dumb stone grew up
dummy. He's either a big dummy or an evil genius would now say
the same thing about is Trump. You know, Trump's a big dumb
racist. Or is he a genius?
Genius? media guy mind?
Yeah,
that is good.
He's gonna start a media company. This was his plan all
along. That's what his
plan was. That's what it was gonna go along. Wow, this guy's
a genius, genius, unbelievable thinker. Three shows ago, on I
think the 18th or 19th We played a clip by a man who I initially
I was going to offer a spot on our stream with his undoubtedly
podcast career, which is about to follow. And that is Dr. Drew.
Dr. We play and I will actually I want to play that clip again,
because you know, the the clip of him commenting on Hillary
Clinton's health report has been removed from HLN as has his
show, Oh, yeah. The transcript of this show is removed by Yeah,
though the video has been removed. The transcript is still
out there. It's just cn
NS operation again. I just don't I think I mentioned this in the
in the leaner report. Oh, no, I didn't I'm not going to don't
think what is the deal with these guys.
So here I have some official. Let me see if this is from well,
this is Deadline Hollywood, which is really kind of the the
dirt rag but they have most of their facts straight. days after
scenes. Ashley Banfield announced on air she's moving to
HLN. In the fall HLN quietly confirmed Dr. Drew Pinsky. This
program will end next month, though he will remain a
contributor for CNN worldwide, which is kind of like BBC
Worldwide, you know, it's like a shortwave radio. Terry. No one
cares about CNN worldwide. Now when we heard him comment on
Hillary Clinton's health report, we said like Wow, man, stay away
from canoes and hot tubs and small aviation. This is not a
very good stance for you to take. And he did it. And I think
it was, although flawed for numerous pharmaceutical reasons
that our audience responded to rather strongly Yeah, cuz a
guy's a doctor, he's a shill for brands and doesn't want to
recommend generic. But here's the disappointing thing. So
after he did this and apparently got fired for it, there's just
no other. I mean, I can't see it any other way. Like, like HLN
really has ratings. What's the difference between point two and
point two, five? It's not going to make any difference in your
sales. But he released the statement earlier tonight, I
mistakenly raised an anonymously sourced report about Hillary
Clinton's health. By doing so I violated HLN and CNN editorial
standards. And I was wrong to have mentioned the
unsubstantiated reports. I regret Hold on. Let me finish. I
regret the air. And I will make sure in the future to apply the
rigorous editorial standards we have in place here. I apologize
to our viewers and Secretary Clinton for falling short
tonight. This was not an anonymously sourced report.
No, he looked at her medical records and then made some
commentary.
And right. Well,
what did we miss? It was it was this medical report. I thought
it was part of
where did it show up? She had
that was the one thing that it was the medical record that was
released. There was a released medical record by this one guy
who's a long term doctor. And according to him, he looked at
it. And then he said, Well, this is interesting. And this is
interesting, and she shouldn't be taken and she shouldn't have
taken this. And then I think they're anonymous thing may have
been from the glasses, the brain damage glasses that she was
wearing for a while with the frontal lens in it. Maybe that
was what he's referring to here in this little note.
I see. I
baffled by this.
So am I
No, this is no this is the
report that was released by her own doctor.
I'm looking at it right now.
Add this letter summarize the health history and current
medical evaluation of Hillary Rodham Clinton. This is the
Mount Kisco, New York lady. In fact, Dr. Drew refers to that.
Then he mentions found to have transverse sinus venomous
thrombosis as this is the note. Let me just see what the Talking
Points Memo says. Clinton releases medical records. So
this wasn't released by Hillary Clinton herself. As far as I
understand it. Yes. Yes. So I don't understand how he did.
This is a very interesting 1984 style lie.
You know why though? Here it is. If you look at if you there was
another set of so called medical records that came out that were
the God by some guy's dad who took a picture and Snopes Of
course as as false as right. This is a hoax. Nothing's true.
Now, that is out there. But it doesn't say any of the things
that are in this official medical record that Clinton
herself released.
So why
he is compelled to say, Oh, this was what is his exact words
here.
nonnamous sourced gossip for some reason.
I got it here. Yes. And I violated
a, I mistakenly raised an anonymously source report about
Hillary Clinton's health. No, I'm looking at the memo that was
released by her July some way. It's July 31 2015,
two years ago. All right, you would have had to play
that. Yeah, I'm gonna when I played I just called a friend of
mine, Dr. Robert Ising. It was an excellent intern, as
pulmonologist and we just dispassionately sat and
evaluated the medical record that she had released. And based
on the information that she is providing her doctors have
provided, we were gravely concerned not just about her
health care, not about her health and her health care. Why?
Well, it's hard for people to understand if both of us
concluded that if we were providing the care that she was
receiving, we'd be ashamed to show up in a doctor's lounge,
it'd be laughed out. It's she's receiving sort of 1950 level
sort of care by our valuation. So we took a look at her record.
And here's the basic fact. She had two episodes of what's
called Deep venous thrombosis, common problem, blood clots in
the legs. She also has hypothyroidism and she'd been
treated for hypothyroidism with something called armorer
thyroid, which is very unconventional and something
that we used to use back in the 60s. And both he and I went,
that's weird. And by the way, wow. armorer thyroid sometimes
has some weird side effects. Oh, well, okay, so she goes on
Coumadin. That's weird. Because Coumadin really isn't being used
anymore. or now we use Eliquis or Serato, things like that.
Certainly the somebody, the presidential candidate would get
one of the newer anticoagulants, then she falls hits her head.
And as a complication of that has something called a
transverse sinus thrombosis. This is an exceedingly rare
clot. I've only seen one of these in my career, which is a
clot in the collecting system for the cerebral spinal fluid.
And it essentially guarantees that somebody has something
wrong with their coagulation system. Well, she's had two
clots, a transverse sinus thrombosis, what's wrong with
her coagulation system? Has that been evaluated? And oh, by the
way, are more thyroid associated rarely with hypercoagulability,
to the very medicine that doctors are using, maybe causing
this problem, and they're using an old fashioned medicine to
treat it. What is going on with her healthcare? It's bizarre, I
gotta say, Look, maybe they have reasons. But at a distance, it
looks bizarre, that there ought to be some sort of standard for
people that are going to leave the country are going to be
making these important decisions. This again, Hillary
may be fine with all of this. I mean, it's, it's dangerous, and
it's concerning. But you can see and by the way, when she said
two other things that gravely concerned us, when she hit her
head, she had to wear these prism glasses when she came,
that is brain damage. And so that's affecting her balance.
Now, clearly, it hasn't affected her cognition. But tell us a
little bit more about that. That's profound. And then number
two, when they screen her for heart disease, again, they did
an old fashioned screen. It just seems like she's getting care
from somebody that she met in Arkansas when she was a kid. And
I just got to wonder, gotta wonder it it's not so much that
her health is is a grave concern. Is that the care? She's
good? He couldn't make it a concern.
Everything I hear in that clip is him referring to this report
from his friend. There's two people involved. Yeah. Wow. But
he I guess he's not a TV doctor.
No. How about this?
There is an element of slander.
In that report, the Goldwater rule? No, no,
not the Goldwater rule. No, this is different because he's not
slandering the the he's not slandering. Hillary slandering
the doctor. Right. Right. Right. And that could be an element
there were there was something there may have been an element
to that forced him to that's the real reason they had to get take
him off the air. Because now they get some legal issue. Go
on. That's possible.
That would be the way that would be a typical way to fight back.
Yeah.
But for him, he makes an apology for something that didn't
happen.
That's what's odd is for him to say, Well, this was the yeah
unconfirmed Anon, that
was obviously written by Pr, or the legal department said Here
sign this poor guy.
Well, he was doing it was actually his job. Give us some
insight.
Well, I've talked to voids here on mountain vortex and we have a
spot on the stream for him for his podcast. Because that's
about all he's going to be doing from now on. I said good. I
liked the guy. I think he's pretty good. I like what he does
and that was that was a nice be he could come over to our side
you know, he could do it drew could do it. And I think he
could sustain sustain himself himself, along with his, you
know, celebrity clinics and all that he
had a pretty I think he had a pretty sweet deal going on. It's
probably ERC's. He's gonna he's gonna go into penalty box for a
while who popped back up. He's a very good TV presenter. Now
we'll see. We'll see if he how he recovers from this. We'll
keep our eye on but again, the offer is open to Dr. Drew the
welcoming letter to the incoming class of 2020. The University of
Chicago you may have heard about this.
Yeah, there's everyone's making a big deal about this as though
it's some it's always something important. Ah, I Yes. That's, by
the way, I don't think they can sustain it. Here's the problem.
Here's
let me give it not everyone has read it. Not everyone has heard
Okay, once you give us the back, little little well, a little
piece of this welcoming note that I have here. Our commitment
to academic freedom means we do not support so called trigger
warnings. We do not cancel invited speakers because their
topics might prove controversial. And we do not
condone the creation of intellectual safe spaces where
individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds
with their
own. That is
a nice stance in today's I like it bull crap world.
I like it and I think it's fantastic. I'll
tell you why something happened to Tina and I Friday night,
which was the I think we're not exactly sure but I think it was
part of the sickness you know, UT is here this is a college
town University of Texas, right we're a college party town to
really when you think about yes old six year. Oh yeah. Dirty six
baby. So we're gonna go get some food. And we're walking right
next side to this big parking lot which is in front of my
building, and on the sidewalk where you can walk comfortably
side by side. You could even probably fit three people on it
side by side, you just walk in next to each other. On one side,
it's the street Guadalupe, very busy street, certainly around
six o'clock 630 Excuse me, on the other side, this is parking
lot, which is actually meant to be demolished. So you kind of if
you want to get off the sidewalk, but you have to walk
grass, and it's rocks, and it's not nice. So we're walking, and
we're coming up on a young woman in front of us who's probably
five feet tall. And she's walking on the left hand side,
and we're just walking, we're talking about a day etc. At
best, we're ready to pass her. She moves over to the to the
middle, and starts to slow her walk. Any of and Tina and I were
just talking at this point, like, wow, this is really odd.
So like, like, okay, like, we want to just pass her on the
left. And so at this point, I've seen his hand I'm kind of like
steering, like how she's got around this. And as we're
starting to pass her on the left, she starts to move to the
left.
And then she says, you know, we all have
insecurities. And you know, when you have insecurities, you can
send signals about this. And it's really micro aggression.
And, you know, you obviously don't have the problems I have
with height. And now the dispute is how old she was, I think she
was, you know, could be postgraduate. It looked to me
like she was someone who was in academia, and just had been
completely confused by this idea of safe spaces, and you can't
trigger me. And and so I engage with it. So we're walking, so
Oh, really interesting. And she says yes. And she tries to go
into this long thing about how she felt unsafe, that I was
coming up behind her. And because of my height, and you
know that she should be I should have been aware of her
insecurity of her height. And now, you don't know me did my
first wife was 543 What are you talking about? And they just Oh,
deflecting? Yes, deflecting? Well, that's very typical. You
do that and then it just devolves into this. gets better.
She and she looks at Tina. And she says, Well, you're obviously
the pretentious one. Hold on a second. And she
looks Stop stop is the punch line to this. It turned out to
be Janine Garoppolo
Oh, man, I wish there's no, but now I'm seeing someone who's
very, very ill and has been convinced
that
I need to acknowledge her vertical challenge as if and I
said, Babe, you know how many times I hit my head on things
and split it open to lifting, deflecting. Exactly, exactly.
And and then just well, you know, but you know, this is a
this is the you know, this your your broadcasting, I could feel
I could feel your insecurity and my insecurity. I said to wait a
minute. So your insecurity went over and blocked me from walking
on the sidewalk and just You're a dick. That's what you're
you're just a dick. Like, all right, I just want the record to
show
that whatever shorty you started
with the name calling. It was it was and we I was disturbed by
it. This damn seem like a crack person.
Because you're, you're we wandered into an insane person
who has been brainwashed by the system into this craziness. This
crazy this is going to be and yeah, this is
truly my analysis of what happened is that, you know, she
has been just brainwashed with this idea that, you know,
whatever your shortcomings are, everyone needs to acknowledge
it, respect it and hold it in the highest regard to make sure
that they don't offend you.
I was bizarre. Don't let you get that off your chest? Well, I
thought it was an to me, it was an experience that I had not
witnessed yet. And I've never
had that happen to me. And my immediate takeaway where you
don't
get out of the house is what you're trying to say. Stop. Not
aware, not aware. Well, talking about let's talk about
politically incorrect for a moment. Although in this case, I
thought it was kind of funny. John McCain is being opposed by
a number of people for his Senator seat. Yeah. And one of
them is Kelly ward. And you know, we're always on the
lookout for all kinds of isms. ageism was a good one in this
clip.
You've had some tough words on John McCain. If you don't win
the primary, you're going to support him in the general.
You know, I probably will. I will see, we'll see but I don't
plan to lose the general the primary or the general. I'm
actually the only Republican that can win in the general
election. John McCain has fallen down on the job, he's gotten
weak. He's gotten old. I do want to wish him a happy birthday.
He's going to be at on Monday, and I want to give him the best
birthday present ever the gift of retirement.
That's a so you think is it you think he's too old to serve in
the Senate
You know, I think anybody who's been in Washington for almost 40
years has been there too long, but you brought up his age.
That's a tough that's a tough attack. Well, I mean, I'm a
physician I see the physiological changes that
happen in normal aging in patients again and again and
again over the last 2025 years. So I do know what happens to the
body and the mind so
do you feel comfortable diagnosing him on air like this?
Diagnosing him as an 80 year old man? Yes, I do.
Wow, she could do that when you're a doctor then all sudden
you can get away with it. Like that's just him the ageism but
she was throwing it around to Dr. Jim.
Yeah, I like that. Wow.
That was bad. Cuz everybody's different. Of course, that guy
me his mom is still alive if I'm not mistaken now. Oh, really?
Was she was when he ran for president.
Holy crap.
I didn't know I didn't realize that.
I mean, this one is one of those long lived guys. That guy could
probably be a buyer live for another up into his 90s Before
he
drops? Oh, maybe. Yeah, maybe you are old. Easy, easy.
Meanwhile, other people in their 80s can barely you know they're
drooling.
Big article this morning in the Dutch newspapers. Just see who
the officials are who actually said this. Tea Tea, the tea tip
is dead.
This is the the US EU trade agreement that is supposed to
follow on the TPP. And according to the Dutch officials, this
thing is as good as dead no one. Well, to know it when the talks
keep getting canceled. There's no more negotiations. They feel
that all negotiations with the US have pretty much failed. I'm
translating in real time, even though no one wants to actually
admit it. So this was a wait. So he was politicians are more
positive about the CTA. Something new Yeah, this is the
Canadian Canada Navy and EU trade agreement. So it's Canada.
EU trade agreement. CTA so the seams are going to be focusing
on that. And looking at the the current legislature or the
executive branch of Canada Navia. I'm thinking Trudeau will
go all in for that for the CTA. So
that's yeah, he's he's an immediate sellout.
Everyone's doing everyone seems to be focusing on
something else going on. Now, you mentioned that I was
listening to a lot this week to Chinese material. Especially the
talk shows, they really give a lot of stuff away. They
got the morning shows. There you go.
They got all kinds of stuff. But I have a few things to play
here. There's the Brexit thing. There's I got 123 clips from
China, China good, a little a little china package. They This
is the one that got that actually made me kind of take
notice. This is you telling me whereas these guys talk what
they're talking about, because there's nothing I know about
this is the grand scheme grand plan
to be held between President Putin and his Chinese
counterpart, the host, Mr. Xi didn't
always let me do a little background on the the G 20. Is
meeting coming up pretty shortly in hang Joe, and which is a
Motwane those monster cities in China and and the pronunciation
is hanging Joe even though when you look at you go on
high. There's a lot of H and G's and using it. Yeah. I listened
and listened to by Joe. Joe, where are you going with that
gun in your hand? Hey, Joe.
Hey, Joe, and Joe.
So Hank, Joe is where they're having this and and they're
fixing gusting up the town the way the Chinese do, and it's
going to be the G 20s. The big boys, that's all everybody shows
up. Yeah. And so they're having this meeting and hang Joe, but
this is and they're gonna know, they know that there's going to
be a meeting between the head of China and the head or and Putin,
Putin. And they're gonna end this. And that's kind of the
background as to what they're discussing here. And you tell me
what they're talking about,
to be held between President Putin and his Chinese
counterpart, the host, Mr. Xi Jinping, what will be the major
issues to be addressed?
Well, between China and Russia, obviously, the two countries
have been getting closer and closer in terms of overall
relationship with energy production, and also exported to
each other. And you know, what is being extracted is about a
further cooperation in the with the One Belt, One Road
initiative by China, and also the EEC, basically from the
Russian side, somehow that will bring all the countries that
Russia European countries and China Central Europe put
together is the grand scheme. We don't know the details yet. But
I guess after the summit, you know, after the meeting between
the two presidents So, probably we will get into more about the
details of the grand plan, how will it be helpful to the both
sides and also to countries within this grand scheme?
Okay, I really seems like there's a grand plan between
Russia and China
and the EU,
or the EEC. See,
which is a subset. Yeah. What what do we know about this? Is
this thanks to the sanctions? Are we actually purposefully dry
as right? Yeah, the Nixon administration, only Kissinger
stuff that we already did. The idea was to keep those two apart
from each other. Oh, yeah. No,
they're trade oil, American policy. Yeah. But they're doing
oil deals, not in dollars, I might add, of doing all kinds of
stuff together.
Why are we doing this? Why are we pushing those two together
when there's always been the American policy until recently
until the Kagan's came along, and they've Newlands came along,
and Hillary, why are we pushing them together? Because John, the
idea was never to do that.
Because we have always been at war with Eurasia.
So we're just
causing trouble for ourselves?
No, I think it's dumb things dumbness, dumbness from the this
admitted Valerie Jarrett, it's her call, it's all her idea. You
got to blame somebody who might blame her
grand scheme, the grand plan. Okay. Well, I gotta just on NBC.
I haven't heard it. No, I have a question for you. But they don't
even talk about the G 20. Having a big meeting and hang Joe. And
Joe, I got a question for you about Chinese TV. When I was
with my friend Michelle in France. Now you gotta understand
the Brits, the Dutch do this too. If they have a holiday
home, which Michelle effectively has, they will order he's in a
London so he ordered another sky satellite box, you know, so it's
a decoder box. And it's sold by Sky TV, I think of course, you
get BBC and CNN and but it's a sky by and what they do is they
take that with them and put it in their vacation home. So they
can watch the BBC, when they're in another country. This is a
very British thing.
You could do that here,
of course. But this under Skybox, there's
at least five different Chinese news channels. And the
observation we both had was they the the the news are completely
portraying themselves with dress and how they speak because of
course the English is perfect. Very, very British kind of like
old school British, they're really styling themselves
towards almost BBC really old school BBC. And it's interesting
to watch because it seems like a pure kind of assimilation
attempt. And it's not just all be all Well, China, this China
that it's it's a bit like our tea in that regard. But they're
really trying to fit into a lineup of British news.
Well, they don't even make that attempt here. Okay. They, I
mean, maybe I haven't seen it.
Okay, so it's not the same stuff, then. Maybe it's just
that stuff they do for them?
I don't know. I don't know. But I know this, the Chinese are
thinking of buying up the UK. Let's play this guy. Don't
already own it. Ask No. Now, this is a very funny little
segment, this CCN Brexit guy in the UK, they talk about what?
Buying up buying up the UK. Now that is cheap. And there's one
guy said, Well, it's not really that cheap. And they go back and
forth. But the beginning of this clip, God, the Chinese guy
asked, there's a chat, there's a Chinese guy host and there's a
Chinese guy, businessman from China, and a Brit. And they
Chinese guy asked about well, which is a good time to start
buying stuff in in England. And the Chinese guy on the other
side says, like what's left Dubai? So I thought that was
kind of funny. That was kind of a quick hit. But then they went
and actually discussed it seriously as listen
to the opportunities for the Chinese investment to have m&a
in Britain. What is there to buy in
Ghana, I mean, I was leading the panel in our London office last
week and they said, Don't you think this is a great time to
come and buy businesses in Britain because the pumps today
and I said what was the impetus stream? So tell me why it's a
better time than it was before. We don't know what Brexit is
gonna mean I personally, I've looked at it. I don't even know
how Britain's going to get out of the EU. It's great to say,
the votes done and outers out, but you've looked at the
difficulty they're going to have before they exercise under
Article 50 how they're going to negotiate all these treaties. So
I think it will lead to a slower economy in Great Britain, lower
values that may turn around. There is you know, one of the A
common themes about Chinese investors is they have a longer
term horizon and a lower hurdle rate than other parts of the
globe. I always hate stereotypes and generalization. But if you
believe that's accurate, maybe it is a good time to go by
the child. Ah, well,
that's interesting in regard to what he said about article 50.
The Telegraph in the UK is reporting that Theresa May will
not hold a parliamentary vote
before triggering article 50.
So I heard I heard that too. But that was that gonna happen?
Well, it also seems unconstitutional for them. I
think the whole thing is a blood they're not going to do anything
that's not going to
happen at all. It's not going to happen. We were expecting a redo
or do over maybe they still crafted into something like,
Well, you know, we've been working on this for a year now.
And sentiment has changed. Maybe we should check in again with
everybody.
Yeah, we want to keep our hand on the pulse, the pulse. The
pulse of the people. Yes. Well, something screwy about that.
There's so anyway, I thought that was an interesting that
part of it was the most interesting part where he says,
I don't know how they're gonna get out of this anyway. Now,
here's another one. This is the last one. And this is the,
again, a discussion with different people is all Chinese.
And they're very good about something. And I've, we know
this, we've talked about it on the show that the Chinese go
into Africa, they go in here, and they go in there, and they
never, they don't give a crap. If you're the most the worst
government in the world, and you're shooting every other
person to on a daily basis on television just for kicks, they
don't care. They don't get involved, like we do the United
States, we won't do business with corrupt governments,
supposedly, unless the corruption is good enough, you
can get your 10s of millions of dollars into the Clinton
Foundation. Sorry. Now, the Chinese and when the Chinese
explain what they do, which is what they're going to do, right
in this clip, the second CCN clip, I'm the first thing I
thought of was Star Trek.
Let me review without what we know about the Chinese
particularly was usually about oil and minerals. They go in
they say, All right, we're going to build your schools and build
your roads into the hospitals. We're going to, we're going to
use your people. And then they start to build the roads, the
school's the hospitals, they bring in all their own people,
they never leave, they build it all, then we usually come along
and go, hey, hey, gooks get out. We're taking over this. That's
usually how it works.
Well, if we can, but they build all the infrastructure to build
a lot of roads. They build a lot of stuff. They're builders,
they're definitely builders. Yeah. And but the thing that
reminds me of Star Trek, is that the Chinese approach to all
these nations that they go in, and they try to loot them, I
think, I mean, but that's an American perspective,
is the prime directive.
So who would who would they be on on Star Trek, they
would be this starship Federation of Planets, which
have this prime directive. And you see this
wouldn't be the Frankie.
No, no, no, this no, there No, me. This is first Star Trek.
We're not talking about the bull crap Star Trek set game later.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, screw the Frankie Fu.
To prime directors, usually in Star Trek,
to jump to seek out new worlds and new civilization. Oh, no,
what
I'm talking about this the point I'm making. So I'll explain it
to you. The prime directive which dominates the first couple
of Star Trek shows and most of the movies is that you can go to
a foreign in Alien place. And, and your prime directive is you
can't screw with their culture. You can screw with their laws,
you can screw with their traditions, you can't screw with
them. You can't do anything that would change the course of
history in their lawyer, you can go in and visit say hi, grab a
few fruits, go back and ingest the fruits and then fly away.
You can't. You can't this government stinks. We don't like
you, and then start shooting up the place to change their
government. That's kind of the prime directive. And that
dominates the early Star Trek thinking that the Chinese are
utilizing the same kind of prime directive, completely opposite
of what we do. And here they kind of explain it
United States. So if what China can bring, we're not bringing
conflicts to any region we're trying to provide to the world.
I'm afraid you have underestimated China's
reluctance to be a major player to broker deals serious was in
the Middle East because given the complexity of ethnic and
religious rivalry between the Sunnis or Shiites, moderates and
extremists, secular ones and fundamentalists, jihad is so on
so forth, it will be a graveyard for the major
thing. I totally agree. I think I know you do see like a Chinese
President has visited to you run Egypt and also Saudi Arabia.
China is trying to play over or like a neutral role basically to
be friends with everybody in this middle eastern region here,
you know, which has been known for not only oil production but
also kills, let's say. So China is trying basically Chinese it's
following this principle for non interference in domestic affairs
in Saudi Arabia or Iraq or Syria, that's your own behavior
all in domestic affairs, we do not want to interfere but what
we can do is to do infrastructure in construction
or issuing loans or softer loans to help you if you need to help
but we don't impose other wheels on your national construction so
that's one way particularly very different from the US practice
their
unique selling proposition Yeah, so the reason why I was thinking
about it during that clip I don't know that about the prime
directive start I was more a Speed Racer guy I watched Speed
Racer instead of Star Trek.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Hey, a monkey you can drive a racecar Are you kidding me? So
are they promoting this? Is this like a PR job? It's kind of what
it sounds I think so.
You can go do you want to do business with the United States
and risk regime change? Or do you want to do business with
Chinese or a hands off a if you want to be a bunch of weirdos?
We don't care? Yeah, it is a sales pitches. Yeah. China's
always going to be they're reliable, reliable, and we don't
mess with you.
We got to keep our eye on that.
This is a bad thing. Yeah, yeah. This is the this is a very bad
situation.
I agree. Yeah. Ben particularly because you know, they've got to
deal with Russia.
Man now what's going on there this is this this whole
situation is it's been poorly handled is very poorly handled
is getting worse and it's not going to get any better.
There's something going on in British Parliament. I'm sure
some law or something is coming up. And it has to do with with
ISIS ISIL dynamische, the caliphate who Allah Akbar three
different members of parliament stood up all backbenchers. It
was one of those kinds of emptier sessions, but they were
reading off kind of the same script. And it was to explain
how incredibly evil diass Is ISIS which of course, as you as
you hear, there, this one clown into one clip and just a little
bit and went on for an hour all of these different testimonials
about how evil it all is, it seems like there's a ramp up for
some big participation of the United Kingdom of Gitmo nation.
Listen to this yesterday
evening. Here in the UK Parliament, we heard the truly
harrowing personal testimony of a brave 16 year old your CD girl
called Aclass. She was seized along with others from her
community by de ash from her home in Sinjar, northern Iraq.
At age 15, she saw her father and brother killed in front of
her, told her how every girl in her community over eight,
including herself, was imprisoned and raped. She spoke
of witnessing her friends being raped and hearing their screams
of seeing a girl aged nine being raped by so many men that she
died. Many young girls had their fragile bodies rendered
incapable of pregnancy and others far too young to be so
when they pregnant. horrifically, she spoke of
seeing a two year old boy being killed his body parts ground
down and then fed to his own mother.
Man, this is better than the incubator story. This is that
two year old boy ground down and fed to his
mother. That story Damn.
They got the children just unbelievable.
I think by the way, I think that story is a rewrite of something
we heard a couple of years ago. It does more. That's a new
story. There's
another 45 seconds that I put in place. And it was all like this,
John, it was all but when you said the kid was ground down and
fed to his mother, wow
spoke of seeing a two year old boy being killed. His body parts
ground down and then fed to his own mother. She told her
children being brainwashed and forced to kill their own
parents. Fortunately, she managed to escape her prison
during a bombardment of the area around it. Others are not so
fortunate. We also heard from another woman Yvette who'd come
directly from Syria for last night's meeting and spoke of
Christians being killed and torture of children being
beheaded in front of their parents. She showed us recent
film footage of her talking with mothers and more than one who
had seen their own children crucified of another woman who
saw 250 children put through a Donita and burnt in an oven, the
oldest was four years old. Man.
I don't think anyone could top the grounding down the baby
beef. Burger, but I mean some this. We've seen the voice.
Well, we've seen this behavior. We've seen this behavior. And
that's why to me it was a total callback to the incubator babies
right into thing that was orchestrated by one of the
Burson Marsteller, one of the Hill and Knowlton, one of the
big PR companies yet was the
guy's daughter and she goes inches up, they came in and they
they the Revolutionary Guard, or were they third, they threw?
They threw the babies out of the incubators on the ground. Yeah,
that turned out to be not true.
No, the whole thing was a big lie. Yeah, for a purpose.
So when this happens, and when these are scripted, little
ditties. They're doing up times up to where we need something
that's going to cost you money.
And if you're Brown, and you live in the sandy area, it's
time to take cover. And someone's coming for
you. Nobody mentioned
is of course, the butchery that takes place with all the
bombings in Yemen, which is backed by us.
Well, didn't we pull out? Didn't we pull out? Yeah, that's
what they say. But there's no evidence of it. The Saudis are
still bomb, and they're in this jar. It's our gear. I don't know
that we were really doing that much bombing personally, as as
you know, as now. I
think we're painting the targets, painting the oh, I
watched to 13 hours yesterday. Then the reason I'll tell you
the backup, the reason why I watched it. So I sent the leaner
report to one of our military intelligence people who was one
of our producers. And he actually sent a note back, which
I think I've forwarded to you, he said, Now, you know, CIA's
there's more and more military guys in there now. So they're
definitely not all in for for Hillary.
Well, I never thought the rank and file would necessarily be
for Hillary. But the command structure Yeah,
that's what I said. I said, Well, how about Brennan and he
came back. So that was just a pencil pusher. Do you guys are
pencil pushers that are really running the show. Right? Okay.
That's interesting. He sure seems to be running the show.
And then he said, and by the way, even Hollywood is turning
against her.
I said, but I don't see this well. Okay.
So I that's what I said. I don't see any evidence at now. But I
won't talk about it because, you know, maybe consulting or
something. But, boy, you should. I don't think any of the cast of
13 hours is going to is going to vote for Hillary. And this is
the Benghazi story, but it's Michael Bay. That's a Michael
Bay production and direction and I'm pretty sure that's what he's
talking about. And when you see that movie, mom, man, you will
not vote for Hillary after seeing that movie.
This movie out I mean, yeah, you're talking about,
oh, 13 hours. It's about the Benghazi affair. It's all about
what happened at at the consulate and
the CIA annex in Benghazi. And how they were waiting
for people to come in.
I haven't seen it promoted.
It one multiple nominations, I think four Academy Awards even.
It's on Netflix now. Yeah, Gee, I
wonder why no one promoted that movie? Hmm. Let me think makes
Hillary look bad, huh. I wonder should we promote this?
It's, it sounds to me like Hollywood's turning it sounds
like one movie.
Yeah. But it's a pretty big guy, Bayes rule Michael Bay.
But Michael Yeah, well, he's definitely a guy who knows how
to make money as a movie maker.
And as predicted, we were talking about the burqini issue
in France. I was boots on the ground as the terrorist forces
were anti terrorist forces were spraying pepper spraying people
trying to get onto the beaches of France and then at gunpoint
making women take off their bikinis. Well, finally, finally,
the US press has gotten a hold of it. And as you can imagine,
it is just an outrage. We can't believe it. I think it's time to
bring back freedom fries. This
week, a woman in nice was forced to strip for armed officers
standing over her, then find she's Muslim accused of
violating a new law against so called bikinis. A bikini looks
more like a burqa covering almost everything and designed
to give Muslim women more freedom.
It was part of that equation.
I mean, just I just gotta love the framing. It was designed to
give Muslim women more freedom.
More free. Yeah.
Beautiful. Where did this come from?
This is I think it's NBC. Is today's show. NBC Yeah, this is
I have a little more of this but more for I just love that more
freedom. You can have any car you want. As long as it's black.
I mean, that's
this is crazy, almost everything and designed to give Muslim
women
more freedom. It was part of integration. It was part of
combining the code versus
the designer who apparently came up with it. The whole idea of
Muslim women
more freedom.
It was part of integration It was part of combining the
cultures.
The ban has sparked protests. There are better ways of dealing
with fear and division online. This tweet, you should be
weeping France. And this a picture of Jacques Cousteau
fully covered in this secular country, Jacques Cousteau
in his diving suit, which arguably looks like a burqini on
the tougher
hands. And this a picture of Jacques Cousteau fully covered
in this secular country where it's illegal to wear crosses in
schools and veils over faces. Most support the burqini Van
Gogh Madiba false if you come to France, you have to live like
the French, this man says. Still, for some, it's political.
Will the little kids show there are more important things like
education and women's rights. The mayor of Paris said, yeah.
So finally, what's caught on a little bit? I don't know if you
know, but the thing is, France is our partner in, you know, in
Syria and Libya, and yeah, we're in the oil business, so we can't
really make too much noise about him. But if any, if Donald Trump
hits any of this, well, that would have been rather
interesting to watch. Oh, yeah. So I think we just won't see any
much more about it at all.
There's a lot of coverage of this on our tea. I don't have a
couple of possible clips. Usually the with some apologist
that says this with the same nonsense, it gives women more
freedom. And then another guy saying this is the only reason
they're doing this is to provoke
you know, hate. And
you know, it's an interesting thing that's going on. I don't
know. I don't know how much businesses of ours that
well, the business it is of ours is here's a country who has been
pounded slammed hammered by a terrorist attack on him but
slammed by terrorist attacks. And they are doing something
about it, which is Oh, who's that? I don't know. If you want
to
pick it up. Use a kick the phone and so it doesn't ring during
the show.
Maybe it's an important call. Nabis Nabis, meaning she's been
listening and she has some a comment. Let's listen in with
John as he talks to some person on the phone. We'll take off the
noise gates so we can hear what he's saying.
What? Well, hello.
No, I don't want your beans. I have no desire to buy beans from
you. Good bye, sir. Random been salesman?
No.
No, are you messing with me now? Been salesman? That'll be it.
Eventually. This is this is exactly what we're grappling
with here in the United States about extreme vetting? And how
can you test someone's conscious? So you know, there
are these? There are symbols, it's very hard to explain why I
agree with what they're doing. Having grown up in this changing
multicultural society in the Netherlands, and also to some
degree in, in Belgium and in the United Kingdom? Do you really
understand where people are coming from although
intellectually like, well, that's not okay. How can we tell
people what to wear and do if you have religious freedom. But
on the other hand, when you see your street, the picture of your
street, as they say, change into just black hooded things? Yeah,
but this is a problem for people. So it's, I'm not quite
sure what to say about it. Other than that, I think France is
pretty bold to say, though, we are going to stop this because
this is a problem. And it makes people uncomfortable. And this
is we're just drawing the line here. I think it's a very
interesting case that cannot be discussed. And mainstream, you
can't just it won't really be discussed. Oh, you said this,
you said there's Oh, this is stupid decisions on the beach.
But really, when it comes down to the 1000 Beach problem, you
know, people are and I'm not sure I have anything to add to
it other than I do understand where they're coming
from. Yeah, I know you do. How about you? I'm on your side.
Yeah.
But how do you square that with a constitution or freedom
freedom?
Well, the debt free once you walk around naked, there used to
be a guy in Berkeley that was the naked guy. And he'd rock
walk around naked. And there he goes, he's going naked. They
didn't know what to do about this guy finally moved.
Was that your swinger friend or that someone else?
No, I never knew this guy. But he was he was the naked guy who
was I think for about four or five years he would walk around
but he was just naked all the time wandering around. And they
didn't know what to do. They were gonna do I think they just
hoped it didn't become a trend. It never became a trend. They
had a there was a thing. I got photos. There was a big
gathering about I think three years ago, maybe four years ago
and the Berkman of the Berkeley People's Park in Berkeley and it
was the naked, naked gathering naked tribes, whatever it is,
gonna be cold. And so you go over there just because I had my
camera and I said, this got to be a gym. So I went over there
and they were gonna have a naked parade. And they're all over
there naked. It was like, Whoa, this is the worst. It's the most
disgusting thing I've ever seen. Most people shouldn't be naked,
pretty obvious when you see him. And I took a couple of photos
from a distance. And I took off it was just kind of creepy.
Well, you know, I mean, these things happen as part of the
Constitution. Can't you be naked?
here's the here's the here's there's dress codes. Here's a
fun little fun fact. Hashtag fun fact. When I was living in
London, if you would go to Harrods, which is you know, it's
kind of the classy department store. And if you would watch
the women's lingerie department, which I sometimes find myself
in, you would see women come in with niqab. So that's the, you
know, the burqa with the eyes visible just to make it easy or
full on burqa a lot of that, and they would be buying the most
unbelievable lingerie, very top and most expensive stuff. And so
underneath all that there's something going on.
I guess, and I think we
that tells me that women like to, you know, doll themselves up
on occasion, and wander around in a burqa. That black thing
it's solid black Garvey calm, which you see in you know, the
solid black, there's no eyeball showing. Which you see, when you
go into the Middle East and hanging out in Dubai. It's like
all the women are dressed like that. And it says just and it's
by the way, it's 110. You know, and they're all in this black
thing. It's almost, I think, to torment them. Yeah. And what
guys, meanwhile, are wearing the dish dash a white, white outfit.
Women are in the black outfit. It's sweating like a pig, I
guess underneath
I got a note from one of our producers who is in
Where's he now? I think
he may be in in Egypt. I was listening to Episode 854 heard
about the, the French guy wanting to clip saying that in
Arab countries, women can wear bikinis on the beach. And he
said, I do want you to tell you that you can wear bikinis on the
beaches in the following cities. Oh, he Dubai where he currently
lives. This is Allah who wrote us, Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Amman,
Giza and Sharm Sheikh in Egypt.
I just thought it was interesting. You have a lot of
weird rules. I've told the story before
I was at we went to the opening of PC mag. Middle East and it
was in Dubai. And so we Wow, that
must have been a party. Was it back in the 80s 90s when when
they had money?
They still have money.
And it was it was a party. Yeah, it was true. And where I met
some hotel when the one of the Saudi princes, I'm hanging out
with this guy. And he says you want to go get a beer
or you're smoking a hookah with him? No. So you want to go get a
beer.
And I looked at him I said you can have a beer. And he says
well, and because there was a bar in this hotels, it was like
an English pub style bar. zeigen Yeah, but I have to change. And
so it goes upstairs and he comes back down with worn jeans. He
had the robe on the dish dash as they like to call it and he goes
upstairs and he changes into a pair of jeans ACDC t shirt and
sunglasses. And then we go to the bar and he explains to me
that if you're Muslim, a Saudi or whatever, you can go to these
bars but you can't be wearing the traditional garb to wearing
the traditional garb that he had aren't normally wore. He would
be arrested. Wow. But it was okay to wear the t shirt. T
shirt in the jeans interest which is so you can be you know,
like I find a dress when he was a subtext to This to me was if I
dress like a dirty pig from the West, I can go into this bar
where you know where it's it makes more sense. And so he and
I don't know if he drank a beer or not but did a lot of Muslims
drink?
I have not heard you tell that story. I don't remember that.
I've
told that story. I've told the story I tell that story once in
a while because I was always kind of like shaking my head
over it he says yeah, I can be in here no problem but I can't
be any unusual look around there was not one person obviously
because you get arrested if you're wearing if you're like a
native in the bar your dress like
I was in Dubai many many years ago with with Patricia and
Christina and I remember it was not okay to have a bikini on on
the beach. There was no one place like the water park across
from borgella raffia that was okay, but that's kind of its
own. I don't recall
a lot of remember that either. I felt that was lectured to an
extreme by this British expat when I was hanging out there and
he was giving me all everything I needed to know But everything
he says most of the British and of the others of foreigners that
live in Dubai, they always have they live in compounds that are
close to Arab. Yes, yes, yes yes. He says you have to do that
he says it's not because we don't want Arabs in the place or
anything but they he says it creeps out all the women because
they have private pools and the women are dressed in normal
bathing suits. And if there's an Arab anywhere nearby hills just
pull up a seat and put themselves right next to the
pool and stare at them. Like it's gonna kill them or rainbow
I think he says it's very creepy. So you have to have
these private compounds that you have to have a key to get in you
have to be a member and all the rest of it. And it said they
always say it's because of you know, racism, racism, but it's
not it's because of this creepy quality of these guys coming in
and staring at the women. Well, Christina
got back from Amman, Jordan, she did that to a little reality
show. It's quite a bit more like a send a celebrity to a place
that never been, which I'm I'm envious, I would have loved to
have gone to Jordan. And so I talked to her finally last night
and she said, Wow, man, that men are a holes. They're just really
they're really really a holes. Except for one. She said there
was some guy who I think maybe he was the camel rental guy or
something and of course had to ride camels. And he was like,
Ah, I probably forgot to send you the picture. But when
Christina puts on you told us the job. Yeah, she just she
looks perfectly Yeah, like she fits right in. Okay, I'm making
a point. But the guy was like, oh, no, you are perfect. Bedouin
bride. You you have to you have to stay here you have to stay
here Yeah. But she said otherwise I
think a better one out of the blue is now an interesting idea.
Well, she
said that the the men were really obnoxious. She found
Amman itself to be dirty and nasty.
She didn't like it at all. But she did.
She did like the food. They do one of those they buried the
food in the sand all day things.
Have you ever heard of food in the Middle East is fabulous.
Now she said it was really good.
Really good.
That's when you get the grease where it starts to deteriorate.
Exactly. I'm gonna show my
school by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
well, let's thank a few people for show age 55. Starting with

Okay, let me get my thing. Wow,
that was close to the mic that time. All right, anonymous, you

anonymous. So you come on up to the podium please thank you very
much for your contributions to the no agenda show in the amount
of $1,000 or more for your value for value that you receive and
that of course gives you a place at the roundtable of the new

Mead. And we welcome you to the roundtable, please go to no
agenda nation.com/rings and give Eric the shell your details. And
we'll get it out to you as soon as possible. Thank you everybody
really appreciate it
makes the work worthwhile.
And it also shows the difference really between what we're doing
with our media products, which you really are producing. And
oh, I don't know, let's say NPR or other mainstream outfits, who
are really trying to not have you participate. We did a story
I talked about the story a couple shows ago that NPR is
turning off all their comments, because, Oh, well. I picked up a
piece by Smerconish. That's the the douche who does the media
based reporting on CNN, of course, they really report about
their juiciness but and I thought it would be really
interesting just to listen to where he and the mainstream
media are coming from when it comes to shutting down your
feedback loop into what they are reporting. Now, this is NPR This
is CNN, these are these are real journalistic organizations who
are shutting it down. Now, of course, we can kind of figure
out why they're shutting it down. Because it's you know,
there's horrible things being said, but you listen to this guy
he is without a doubt media elite. And you can hear where
they're coming from with their reporting, which is anything but
this type of interaction we create here.
This election cycle has turned a lot of social media into anti
social media. people's Facebook feeds are increasingly
fractious, reflecting our course and polarized national political
dialogue. Matter of fact, a piece in tomorrow's New York
Times Magazine about Facebook's political pages, quotes page
operators likening comments to torch wielding mobs and sharks
being frenzy. That's a part of why NPR recently discontinued
comments on any of its new stories@npr.org. The other
reason, NPR discovered what I've always suspected about such
forums, only a tiny percentage of their users were doing most
of the posting point zero 6% of their 33 million viewers. I
applaud NPR it's been years since I read any of the comments
on my own Sunday column in the Philadelphia Inquirer. I found
them to be largely angry uncivil, and certainly
unresponsive to the merits of whatever I was arguing and not
worthy of a response, especially when commenters hide behind
pseudonyms. While the internet has made our lives exponentially
easier. The use of technology is not without its drawbacks, and
one liability the beer muscles that some grow when given the
opportunity to express themselves anonymously. Just
like the drunk, who has an inflated measure of his power by
closing time, many bloggers adapt a tone and they say things
online that they would never offer. If their faces were seen
and their identities known. Our political dialogue is far too
coarse, nasty, anonymous comments are a significant part
of a much bigger problem. But it's one aspect that we can
easily control, just like NPR just did.
Shut up audience, you're
stupid.
Here's a bunch of mistakes and mistaken thinking with this guy,
and I will put myself into a very established position, I
have major standing because I've actually started my online
stuff. During the CompuServe era when we had something that PC
Magazine called PC mag net. Yeah, I remember this. And that
was way back that was in the 80s. Now, the thing about
comments is yeah, if you say say, even if you say you say
something very well thought out or something douchey, it really
doesn't make a difference. You're gonna get a lot of
negative comments. The point of leaving the comments, there is
not really it's not about you, douche. Douche. It's about the
reader. Yes, the reader reads Yeah, okay, so I write something
and you know, maybe I do one of my anti Apple things, I don't
even do that anymore. It's not worth the trouble. And the
apple, things change. But I write anything. And I will get a
bunch of feedback of all different sorts, you get
feedback from like some military guy, because you said something
wrong. And it was about a military weapon us at 32.44, not
at 32.440, we get those hours, you're mixing up the 38 with a
with a 380, you got that you're all screwed up. And so you get a
lot of that. And but you get a lot of it. And you don't it's
not up to the right, the writer, once you write a piece,
you don't have to interact with them. But you can read the you
can
you can or you can or you don't even you can ignore it. Because
it's not about you. It's about the audience that comes to read
your article. And then they read the comments. And they usually,
I'd say, most of the time, if not made all the time, perhaps
there is something hilarious, embedded in the comments.
Somebody has a one liner, I I'm not saying that I steal jokes
from the commenters in certain situations. But there's a lot of
funny stuff that guys will drop in vain, like boom. And so to do
this, I think is not who cares what they do what people think
about what you just wrote, your what you're doing is your short,
short shooting. Those are the readers and that's what the
problem is, in my estimation. There were
two parts to this. The second part is he's very clear about
anonymity and beer muscle and you would never do it if your
face were there. This is part of the push and I will see it with
our mainstream media first towards registration real names
all of that stuff.
That's where that's gonna go. Yeah, yeah,
well, they like to do I mean, a lot of people already switched
over to discuss disguise is a and there's a couple of these
systems I think discuss was the first one as di s q u s
something or other one of the first syndicated types Yeah,
well, it's a it's a, it's a commenting system that you
subscribe to if you running a blog or something. And then all
the comments get filtered by disgust. So you can't really
just put a bunch of spam or just a bunch of cussing or something
like that in there. I have an account, I use it when I say
every time I see a people I would like to recommend people
do this. And listen carefully. When I reading something, and I
go to the bottom to the comments, because I might want
to review comments. Sometimes they do sometimes they don't if
I see discuss as the as the system. I will then comment. And
because it's easy to register and deal with I've already
registered and I get put my comment in the comment always
goes like this, whatever the article is. Wow, this is
interesting. In fact, this is exactly what we'll be discussing
on the next no agenda. show.ca.
Yes.
Hello. Did you hear that producers? That's the given give
them the line again.
Wow,
this is interesting. This is exactly well, if they're
producing today, this is exactly what they're discussing on the
no agenda show.com
And you put under that I am a producer,
you could I am a producer. And so I know.
So you predict so you you just that's what I do constantly.
Sometimes you make a little variation. So It's customized.
So it doesn't sound like just a rubber stamp, right? But I do
that all the time. I like people to say, well read this, I read
it and I go down to the compasses discuss. Boom, I'm in
and it's got a little no agenda logo, my picture. In it goes.
And that's what you should everyone should be doing.
We know we need kind of a no. When you say no agenda logo, do
you put that in the comment? Or is it a part of your discuss
profile photo? So we need those.
When you get on do when you just choose subscribe to a lot of
these services and you're on discuss, they let you put upload
a photo that shows up in the comic, a little photo of
yourself on the left. And then there's the comment. And the
photo is like actually a sideways no agenda. It's not the
logo, but it says no agenda show and it's something from one of
the stickers. That looks really good. As a photo, right? So
thank you.
They're cool, because they're not all right. They're all
wrong.
That's what I recommend people do that. It's not it doesn't
take a lot of work, and it helps promote the show. I have, by the
way, some people unless you put links in like that no agenda
show.com Just say no agenda show. And then in parents google
it. Yeah.
I have one more clip I want to play and then I'd love to hear
I'd love to have your here but your epi pen. Thanks. I think we
can discuss that for a moment. And this is just lovely to hear
Sheriff Clark jokes at Joe Clark, David Clark. Joan Laurie
is Joe Clark. The police. Joe isn't Joe. He is the black
Sheriff from Joe. I will just call them Joe. He's the black
chair from Minneapolis.
Yeah, I think that's David.
I think he I think you're right, it is David Clark. Now it's not
because that Dave Clark Five will find out. And it was, you
know, I'm torn about this guy because I totally agree with
everything he says. But I think the way he comes across, you
know, the sheriff's are elected. And he is an elected official.
But you know, he's he's got the
is he's loaded to the gills. He looks like betray. Yeah,
it's a little too much. Yeah, it's a little too much, which is
too bad. Because he is saying things I believe to be
completely accurate and truthful.
You know, the American ghetto has replaced the cotton fields
where Democrats have gathered blacks, and these horrible,
miserable conditions. We've been black people been separated from
their history. You know, they traditionally voted Republicans
it was Abraham Lincoln, a Republican who freed the slaves.
It was the Republicans in Congress, who did the heavy
lifting to get the Civil Rights Act passed as well as the voting
rights. The Democrats were against it. Lyndon Johnson had
to appeal to Republicans, even though the Democrats controlled
both houses of Congress. He didn't have enough from the
Democrats who stood in the way in the passage of those two
important bills. So once we reconnect black people with
their history, and which is what I've been trying to do, their
eyes are open and they'll see that they've been hoodwinked by
this monolithic voting for Democrats, nothing has gotten
better. Under democratic control of the black vote. These
progressive policies have wrecked some great American
cities. Baltimore, Milwaukee, look at Chicago right now. 455
murders to date. That's more than the deaths of coalition
forces in Afghanistan since the start of Obama's second term in
2013, where 270 coalition forces have been killed. So you have
almost twice as many people killed in the city of Chicago. I
don't see Obama going to Chicago to help out. Obama was in
Martha's Vineyard, for heaven's sakes, that's where he
vacations. He spends his time, his time on luxurious resort
golf courses, he vacations in Hawaii, that's far removed from
the American ghettos.
Well, his history I think, is spot on. Yeah.
Yeah. I know, cracks me up. I'm very amused by it. Yeah, you go.
You go to Europe and Utah. And you ask people about, you know,
well, Abraham Lincoln. He was clearly Democrat. And you know,
people just really don't know. A demo. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a bit
sad. But but we do have a problem. And I talk with Tina
about this all the time, because the entitlement factor of all
people in the United States is really big got it was really out
of control. Without it's hard to say, well, there are services
that people receive that are philanthropic that are paid for
by companies and individuals who offer them services, certainly
in medical area, and they they are just dead. There's no
gratefulness anymore. And I'm not blaming anyone, but the
reason they so they Oh, of course, it's there. Of course,
there's something of course there's a safety net, of course,
and it almost everything feels like well, the government's
taking care of me or whatever it is. And they don't even realize
that there are a lot. There's a lot of nonprofits, certainly in
Austin, that they are doing this based on you know, people's
generosity, trying to keep programs afloat that the
government cannot will not or should not be put it up putting
in place but you combine that with really the safety net and
I'm really American aihole about this stuff. It breeds contempt
and entitlement. And the result I think is irreversible. I saw
this in the socialist countries I grew up
in. And it's saddens me. Well, what are you gonna do about it?
Do more podcasts? Of course.
There you go. That's the answer to everything go podcasting.
All right, how about this epi pen? Bullshit. There's a lot
going on with this. Wow,
this epi pen story. Okay, this is a this is a story. Now we
we've talked about this sort of thing on the show a lot, because
it's something that galls me, the way the system works. And
this when Obama we had when they were passing this Obamacare, you
know, he would Oh, everyone's will slip between medical reform
and health care reform and insurance reform.
interchangeably use these words, because this is a giant
insurance scam, the entire Obamacare deal, the Affordable
Health Care Act, the Affordable Health Care Act is a is an
insurance scam. And the idea is that everybody has to have our
health insurance. Okay, I got my health insurance. Well, how are
these guys gonna make more and more money? Well, by jacking up
the price of the healthcare? And how can they do that? Well, they
need an excuse. We'll do the partners in ARM another one of
the big donors to the Obama election, the farmers, the Big
Pharma is all they have to do is just jack up their prices. And
they do it with all the drugs and they jack up their prices
and jack up their prices and jack up their prices on the same
product. And the end user, you the person getting insurance
pays the same little out of pocket like five bucks or 10
bucks. But in when you look at the numbers, if you've paid
attention, the base price of the drug has gone from $10 to 20 to
50 to 100 to more. And so they jacked up the prices, you still
pay the five bucks, and you feel fine about that. But because the
insurance company picks up the other $95 with the US to pick up
$5 They gotta charge you more for insurance. And they do that
with a rationale if they ever get taken in front of Congress.
Oh, no, no, it's not us. It's the drug companies. And so the
everybody it's a scam. It's a massive scam. And so every once
in a while they find someone to bust their chops over as though
it's something that's only happening to them. I believe the
EpiPen thing is either because the company never coughed up any
donations to the Obama administration, or some other
angle. And they're also to make it worse. They've set up the CEO
who I've heard interviewed this woman. I've heard her
interviewed, she is a dummy. She's a dumb cheerleader that
somehow got to the CEO position. I listen, offense.
Listen to this. Yes, she did get to that position through her
father. And one of our producers I have to keep completely
anonymous. Can't really even talk much about his note. He
said, Because he worked there. He said, When she came in great
tits dumb as a rock. Yes, I'm sorry, how that came across. But
that was literally
is a patsy. Yeah, yeah, yes. And they keep pointing to and she's
so stupid. And she made all this rubbish. Because she's gonna
walk away with a lot of money for a pass, even though she's
gonna be her life is going to be miserable. People are going to
yell at her when she walks down the street. Because it's like
her fault for everything. And I feel actually bad for her. Well,
she's making
one small data point about about this particular product. Milan,
of course, bought the company in 2000, from from Merck in 2007.
And this, the ingredient is about to go out of patent. So it
seems like hey, one last push. Let's get as much as we can
before the generics come on the market. And the FDA actually the
FDA was supposed to approve a competing at preferring
epinephrine injectors not
epinephrine. It's something else is a peanut free. I think it's
a peanut free. That's what I'm saying. But yeah. Peanut free.
And they didn't approve that device. For Oh, yeah.
Convenient. So there's no competing products on the
market. It's about to go generic. jack up the price. This
is what happens.
Absolutely.
I have a clip that's kind of talks about this a little bit.
Every six minutes. life threatening food allergies send
someone to the hospital,
the maker of epi pen running this ad 46 times during the
Olympics, raising awareness while raising their bottom line
hiking the cost of epi pens from $100 in 2009 to more than $600
today, and the epi pen isn't the only one the drugmaker hiking
the price on a slew of other medications 24 products seeing a
more than 20% SPIKE seven products rising more than 100%
The drugmaker CEO Heather brushes total confidence Asians
spiked to from two and a half million dollars her first year
in 2007 to 19 million today, early this year brush was asked
if she thought drug prices should be regulated to make them
more affordable.
I hope not. Because I don't think the answer is price
controls. There are certainly outliers that are grabbing great
headlines. But it's not it's not the answer at
top senate members giving myelin a deadline, two weeks to respond
to the pricing probe, and a spokesperson for the maker of
epi pen myelin saying that they personally contacted all of
those members of Congress and look forward to meeting with
them, David.
I do have I do have a bit of a bogus story. I have a bit of a
report of after we talked about the cost of health care and
particularly for me and how it's going up thanks to the poor
strategy of the Affordable Care Act. So here's the here's the
main advice I got pay the fine don't take the bullshit
insurance. I've got at least 15 different emails of people
showing me how much money they really saved even when you know
kid broke their arm all the different things now I haven't
seen anyone say Oh, well, I have cancer and I'm paying for it
myself. But without without fail. Every single one of them
says if you say to the doctor, the doctor's office, no, I'm,
I'm self pay. I'm paying myself and I'm willing to do that in
cash. If you can give me 50% discount, they take it. And the
reason why is the insurance companies, they they sue they
argue they hurt wrangle with these people, they they
sometimes get it down to 30 cents on the dollar with the
doctors. So when a doctor can get it for 50 cents on the
dollar, they're happy. My doctor
told me that the biggest problem right now in the business and
why people are shutting shop is because they can't deal with
this as everything is they fight everything. You come in to get a
B 12 shot, they fight it. He and He says that he knows somebody
says I don't know I can't prove it. But this guy told me that he
worked in one of these companies that one of these insurance
operations and you are paid to as the person taking the call to
approve the payment. You're told to fight it. Just fight it, put
it off, fight it, fight it, fight it. And that thing is an
absolute monster and is unbelievable. That's gone on
this long and they what is Congress done? And then
meanwhile they make a big deal out of this epi pen fiasco.
Yeah, well, that's that's just
too it's just
a cover up. But yes, the smokescreen? Exactly. It's
just your focus over waxy is what we call this trash Exactly.
Well, there you go. You're up to speed. I think so for now. I
think the MTV awards are tonight. I'm gonna watch that.
But you are as fun don't they always have some event where two
women kiss or something like that?
I don't know. I haven't been to one in a long time. They should
invite you Yeah, they should but they hate me. As you know for no
good reason I quit. They don't like people who quit on them.
That's like you know, it's like that we fire you know, you can't
fix I quit. But I will be watching for the satanic
messaging. Whatever the Illuminati will tell
us whenever we report on this. I'm probably not gonna watch it.
We'll bring you a a full report a full report.
There's always some satanic thing going on at this event.
