This is all about gas. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Sunday,
December 11 2016. This is your award winning on nation media
assassination episode 885
is no agenda always on
guard for modern aluminum tubes and broadcasting live from the
darkest corners on the internet here in Austin tea house in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where Plato say a woman who
mourn election results, not over the hill. I'm John C. Dvorak
scale.
We are so professional. To me,
I only took an hour to get the opening are amazing
how we shake that out and
say, it's always
Alrighty then. I'm a little worried. A little anxious, a
little anxious.
Then why might this be?
Well,
in the past, whenever I've done an appearance somewhere and you
don't say anything to me for two days, that's usually because
you're angry or you hate me. I hate that you didn't say no.
What was I supposed to say? There was nothing to it. I I got
to watch you on on the seed man show. Here's what I here's what
I witnessed. You were sitting there in the middle, trying to
carry the show. Amongst Max Keiser who must have I think it
must have been booked by Stacy. It seems to me Yeah, Kaiser was
disinterested. It looked like for people out there are gonna
recognize this reference. He looked like Bill Bella, check on
a bad day.
I don't know who Bill Bella check is.
Yeah, well, that's what we had here. And so Kaiser is over
there, sulking in the corner, I
just say something about that. And I told you he had some
personal issues going on, which he didn't want to talk about on
the show, so I'm not gonna mention it. I told you what was
going on. And so that's part of that's part but I mean, like I
accept that, like that ended badly is what I'm saying.
You could have oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible.
That's what I'm saying. So yeah, well then he should have been on
the show, but that's fine. He did get in a couple of things.
You tried to plug the show. And and Alex actually gave the URL
every every coming back from every commercial break, which
there were quite a few.
Oh, I only saw like one segment. I guess that didn't see the
whole thing
I got I just I was I was on for an hour and a half. What? Oh, my
God, John, you missed so much good stuff. I even I even
dropped.
Well, I didn't see that. All I saw was what you do, which was
just a short snippet.
I even dropped in the theater. Kaczynski. Are you kidding me?
Oh, I can't believe I see it. Oh, man.
No, I saw the Kosinski. Okay, luckily, luckily, I got the
Kaczynski reference. It was just over everybody's head. Yeah, of
course.
You know, here's the thing that was most interesting with this
entire, the
first stop, stop was that premise, premise? Background. We
do it on the show.
Okay. I get a signal text encrypted from Stacey. Hey,
because they had interviewed Jones the day before. They said
hey, you know, we were talking about you and he really wants
you to come on the show with us tomorrow. Like, okay, and then
she said, Well, I'll get you time and details etc. And so
then it was it was Friday morning like well, you know, I'm
not like some who are just going to jump up and down but then you
know, there's all
going to pick us up but it turned out you were Yeah, of
course.
You I think you appreciate that. I did that.
I would hope Yes of course. Okay,
so again the stakes is alright they come in here at noon that
picking us up in the van like hold on a second are we getting
hoods thrown over our heads and and we're getting thrown in a
Van Van like I'm not doing that was I will follow in my car
which was okay. As it turned out you know, and this is this is a
complex is unbelievable.
So you went over to the to the to the clan desktop compound to
the compound I did indeed. Yep. And it's big. And there's this
50 people there.
Yeah, it's a lot of overhead.
Well, the warehouse with all the with all the stuff with the
which I think actually doesn't have seeds anymore. Sadly, I did
ask for some. But I got to get some seats. I got Yeah, I got
they gave me two boxes of all of their stuff. Oh, cool. I've got
the Male Vitality. I've got the DNA repair. Oh yeah, I've tried
it all. I feel great. I'll bet you do. Tina's like Wayman. How
much of that did you take I'm not coming over you would that
Male Vitality stuff. Stay away from that. But the thing that
was most interesting to me is because it really came together
very quickly. And so you know, the really the only announcement
is about half Before Max and I went on, they tweeted out a
picture of maximize, oh, they're gonna be on. And I guess I kind
of underestimated because they everyone there was like really
excited about MTV guy. And that was kind of a, like, I had to
reset my brain, you know? Yes. Because I'm there with with Max
and Stacy, you know, been in a whole different vibe. And it was
like, oh, it's MTV guy. Oh, watch you, huh?
MTV? And then and then
I'm putting the middle like, Oh, I didn't realize that this is
how this was going to go down. But okay, I'm good. I'm good to
try. But very little preparatory work possible. But to me, the
most interesting thing was the response from audiences. And of
course, this crossover between our show and Infowars. And
people like, oh, I can't believe this. You, you hypocrite. You
guys make fun of it. And that was wrong with you. And then
people saying Alex don't don't have him on he's he's makes fun
of you. He's a douchebag. And and here's my conclusion. You
have
a an audience that is quite something well, but they do.
Yeah, I
would say Infowars audience was pretty good thing. That's
that's, that's interesting is that our audience should
appreciate that we're trying to make the audience bigger. And we
need to do these promotions as much as possible. We don't do it
half as much as we should. And I would say I'm partly responsible
for that. Well, it goes, it goes even further, John, but our
audience should be appreciated. So Oh, that's funny. You got him
on, instead of saying, hey, he got on the seed Man Show and the
notes. Don't say anything. Anybody. This is pretty funny.
They go and they start jumping all over it, you know, in a
negative fashion.
I was prepared. Because I've never met Alex and like, I don't
know, we'll see. But I, to me, it's like, this is not this is
real life. Okay. This is not social media, where you disagree
with someone or someone makes fun of you. And then you block
them. You know, like, that doesn't work that way in real
life. Oh, you make fun of me. I'm gonna block you now. Quite
honestly, I sometimes get tired of people. I block them. But I'm
like, people constantly realize me. Oh, he's Jones comes up to
Hey, how you doing? Yeah, it was just like, and the minute we
started the show, I said, let me just get the elephant in the
room out of the way. I'm sure you saw that bit where I said,
Well, we love you. You're a big part of the show with your
clamps. Is it is do we fantastic. Then grown babies in
cows? Did you see that part?
Yeah, yeah, I saw
it. So that that's how you just eliminate all the issues. Below.
There's no animosity. We make fun of them. Yeah. Do we call
them the seed, man? Yeah, we call Hillary Clinton Lucifer.
clippity clop. I'm sure they call me Jeter head somewhere.
Yeah, who gives a crap? This is this is how grown
was watching you. That's the one thing I didn't know. I'm
watching so like,
I know it's like a constant but I have to think on my feet and
fight Tourette's. It's very hard. Hate
I probably one of the few people that are
watching. No, no, no, believe it or not. This is now now
everyone's watching for it. Yeah, like, Hey, man,
Tourette's. castlemania. Tourette's is showing like, what
am I going to do? Even gets worse? stuff?
Right? That's actually it. That's the funny part about it
gets worse. Kids pointed out. It's like calling somebody out
when they're blushing. beet red just pointed out today while
you're blushing what's going on and
it gets worse.
ears turn bright red. Man. But you got some promotion in it.
That's a plus. Yeah. And I'm
sure. I'm sure he'll have me probably.
They show to your local. I know, you really should be like the
Tony Randall of the show. You know, another reference Johnny
Carson used to when he would always have
like David Letterman had Regis Philbin when it gets canceled.
Yeah, he knew somebody canceled. And some guy comes in. He fills
in. Yeah, that's any can carry it. He can carry. He's not like
as slouch
as me the backup. That would be you. I think though I could
probably do a show with Max.
I could probably do something with him.
Yeah, I don't think Stacy's gonna go for that shot.
Pretty sure that she's not no, no. It was good. I appreciate
the invite. And I appreciate the ability to plug the show. And he
did he did give our URL every single time coming back from the
break. And I think we know that. I think the responses in general
are pretty good.
Well, he knows the game. Yeah. And
he's only 43
I never had a clue what his age was one way or the other. What
do you think he's, is he appear older to you? Yeah, it's
more my age. He's like, Oh, man, I watched you and I was 12 Hmm,
hi.
I was a little boy I saw you on the television.
I want I told him I said, Yeah, you know, we could see you back
and man, please, you gotta go wash your hands. And then we
were buddies. It was good washer. The only thing I didn't
get to do is but I guess I kind of forgot it but it wasn't the
right vibe, the right thing for it. I wanted to at some point
say, Hey, Bill, I just want to see if they would respond.
Yeah. Oh, this Bill Hicks. Bill Hicks. Yeah, yeah.
Everybody invited me go shooting on the ranch and they're hanging
out.
Oh, definitely go shooting kidding me. Those guys. Does he
have a collection? Does he have a gun collection?
He does. He didn't show me by the way.
I did want to mention they shouldn't have it at the studio.
Well,
did y'all ever know this is the thing everyone's open carry? You
know, there's although I didn't it was I think was hyped a
little more than what I saw in the in the studio. Because we're
like, oh, you know, we were there yesterday. You know, this
guy's got AR fifteens across their back and they got you
know, Karen guns everywhere. So I was strapped I had I had my
three ad in my inside jacket pocket. I don't know what these
guys are gonna do. I was just I was ready for anything.
Because in Texas, I've gone crazy.
Including by the way we're sitting there with a load of 380
on the show you will
be this is this is part of the Situ I've finally decided this
and you can become a liberal to a liberal gun carrying liberal
which is I think what I think it's it's that black mold. There
must be and I think in Austin the reason for the politics and
everything else is because you're very slowly being
poisoned.
Well, that's Alex Jones is assertion.
What really Yeah,
yeah, he has the all these allergies to he says this is a
horrible this is this is kind of what do you say biological
warfare? I believe it I believe it says I mean the or let's say
I believe the possibility. Pill. I'm reminded
of the Star Trek show where there's this is Paul and
everybody isn't they wouldn't be all love and fit. You know this.
They all become this liberal, including Spock. That's on that
planet where there is the love plane. Yeah, yeah, remember
that? Yeah. And the next thing you know, they don't want to
leave and they just stuck in there. They've all become these
Goody goodies and kind of humiliating, actually. And I
think this is maybe what's going on with you. And it's good to
have something to do with the Facebook post. How
you how you get from me carrying a loaded weapon for protection
to I'm going to be a liberal voting for the Democrats. I
don't understand.
I can make this I can make this Yes.
I think you need to work on it a little.
I think a gun kit I said I prefaced the whole thing with
gun toting liberal
gun to now. Well, the liberals around here do not repeat do not
towed guns.
Well, then maybe then you have when you issue the gun. Some
point you'll say, you know, I think is dumb. Having these guns
around me all the time. I'm gonna get rid of them. Then I'll
know.
Yeah. All right. Sure, John. Sure. You're the one so let's
get Yeah, but yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, I
did want to say one thing, that the best point I felt made on
that, on that appearance was Max Keiser hammering because very
hard to tell him when he's serious or not, but hammering on
the fact that there has been no conclusive no true investigation
of Russian propaganda. He says, Why aren't people calling me?
I'm right there. I work there. I can tell you exactly what's
going on call me please is no one has ever called me. No one's
interested because they're not, which of course, is true. But I
thought that was a good point.
Yeah, well, they're not interested. They just want to,
you know, like, like this article, which I cited in the
newsletter newsletter
was very good. And I think it may be a bit of the, the
foundation for today's show. And I'd like you to reiterate what
you said, because you actually don't typically come out with
such a strong opinion in the newsletter.
Not normally. But this one here was getting to me because of the
nature of it. They've just started with this New York Times
article. I mean, I was I had a sneaking suspicion that I was
going to do something like this, but the New York Times article
and look, I gotta hear, and the headline is Trump mocking claim,
claim claim, but whether that's a key word always Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. Mocking claim that Russia hacked election at odds with the
GOP. And then it goes on about this David Sanger who's
what the New York Times did is they use the information the
Washington Post had compiled as the as their kind of, you know,
as the basis for that story, correct? Well,
you mostly that we actually didn't posted The one who's
pushing this and of course, they're the most antiTrump of
the group. But, and I think this is like the last ditch effort by
the Republicans
to discredit this. And this is what I liked so much about what
you wrote because I don't think people understand that that is
what's actually happening. There's Democrats, Democrats,
no, no, the Never Trump people, I guess.
Well, and then if you want to look at vec, let's start with
this clip. Okay. That you put out, who are the two Republicans
most likely to be involved in this? Lindsey
Graham and John McCain? There you go. Come on. That's the
answer to everything.
Now, here's Charlie Rose, talking to McCain, who's who's
all in on this, this thing, but he's got some other things to
talk about. He's gonna do hearings, hearings. And he
laughs in the middle of this discussion. Like he's like he's
scheming some evil thing. And just wait for the laugh. That's
right. As, as Charlie Rose million mentioned me, why don't
you go talk to Trump? And I'm previewing it. And McCain says,
Now I don't have to try to talk to Trump, we're gonna have
hearings.
Monaco, what is our policy? If we detect an attack is coming to
the United States? What is our response? If there is an attack?
And look at the whole scenario of how the United States of
America response to this threat? There is none. But why wouldn't
you as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee
requested a meeting with the president elect to talk about
this, I promise you the best way to have that dialogue is to
declare that there will be hearings in this and
policymaking and legislation coming out of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, I promise you that will prompt a dialogue.
And it's going to take some time, Charlie, it's not
something that we're going to be able to do overnight. Do you
believe you have to turn the president lacks President elects
understanding around on this? Because I mean, basically what
he said to Time Magazine, he said, I don't believe the
Russians interfered with the election. It could be Russia.
And it could be China. And it could be some guy in his home in
New Jersey, I believe that it could have been Russia. And it
could have been any one of many other people, sources or even
individuals. That's what the President said to Time Magazine
fell in some respects, he's right, that all of these are
players that that he mentioned, the problem is that he may not
quite understand that the best edit and the most hostile and
the ones who have probably had the most significant impact off
over a number of years are the Russians. They're the best at
their job. General Roger, Admiral Rogers, will has
basically said the same thing. All these experts have said our
Director of National Intelligence has said it that,
that it's the Russians who are by far the most active in this
kind of behavior, but it's not confined to Russia,
huh? Yeah. Dick.
total, total dick.
Hello, here is another clip along these lines and want to
play this in the background because it's Obama that wants to
do big investigation.
Why? Oh, I have the spokes hole. Without announcement. Do you
have something else for the announcement of Obama's
investigation?
This is kind of just a rundown to play the spokes hole.
Okay, and this is a backup spokes hole. This is not
we should mention that what we're talking about here is that
Obama has decided that they want to do get all these intelligence
agencies together and do a definitive report to show Trump
to get it done before Trump goes into office. That means they
gotta get it done in the next 60 days. They're gonna get put it
together and show Trump that Russia is a bunch of creeps. And
they they're not to be trusted. That's really the goal of that's
yes.
McCain President earlier this week, instructed the
intelligence community to
This is Eric Schultz, he's the backup spokesman conduct a full
review of the pattern of malicious cyber activity related
to our presidential election cycle, like so he's requested
this report, and thankfully didn't submit it to him. Before
the end of his term in 2016, our intelligence community
determined that there was malicious cyber activity
intended to interfere with our elections in the high confidence
assessment that was released this past October
now. Very important words here. A high confidence assessment.
What is this? Climate change?
Everyone agrees? Yeah, well,
the high confidence, John, that's not proof that's not
definitive. It's we have high confidence. Yeah, I got. Well,
no, let me finish his thing.
In the high confidence assessment that was released
this past October, the intelligence community made very
clear that this was activity directed by the highest levels
of the Russian government.
That is a lie. That Act was never said, what was said was
this kind of activity could only come from the highest echelons
of the Kremlin. They didn't say it was definitively so very
clear that this was activity directed by the highest levels
in Russia.
They did not say it very clearly.
So as we've made clear, they like to say it was very long, of
course, we are
committed to ensuring the integrity of our elections. And
this report will dig into this pattern of malicious cyber
activity time to our elections, take stock of our defensive
capabilities, and capture lessons learned to make sure
that we brief members of Congress and stakeholders as
appropriate. What the President asked for is a review to look at
malicious cyber activity timed to our presidential election
cycle. And so it will be broader than just looking at this past
election.
Now there's two things I want to say before you go into your your
spiel. One I just want to read very briefly, the the head the
important paragraph from the Washington Post article that
started this off because it's very important is very different
from the headline. Here it is the CIA shared its latest
assessment with key senators in a closed door briefing on
Capitol Hill last week, in which agency officials cited a growing
body of intelligence from multiple sources agency,
briefers told the senators It was now quote quite clear that
electric Trump was Russia's goal, according to the officials
who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss
intelligence matters. Anonymity is always an issue. Here we go
to CIA presentation to senators about Russia's intentions fell
short of a formal us assessment produced by all 17 intelligence
agencies fell short. A senior US official said there were minor
disagreements among intelligence officials about the agency's
assessment, in part because some questions remain unanswered. And
the thing that's jumped into my mind right away is where did we
hear this before these minor disagreements? He was about the
aluminum tubes. He was about Yes, it was about the aluminum,
same language, minor disagreements. And then that
turned out to be a whole false premise and people died over it.
So the headline is very, very different from the actual story.
But that doesn't matter anymore. Beautiful launch. Thank you,
Washington Post.
Well, as the New York Times goes into the New York Times goes
into this, there's a couple of days, they decided to just do
some kind of minor, very slick, I, I'd say slick character
assassination. The first second, third, fourth, fifth paragraph,
is it just a straight up, quote, quote, to have the president
elect of the United States simply reject the fact based?
This is the book key part of the, quote, fact basis? You
know, fact business is a good climate change thing again?
Yeah. In fact, fact based narrative that the intelligence
community puts together, because it conflicts with is our priori
assumptions. Wow. Whoa, wow. Versus a word that's Scott Adams
likes to talk about as useful as a propaganda tool. Yeah. Said
and this is a quote was said Michael Hayden. Oh, yes, of
course. Yeah. Who was the director of the NSA and later
the CIA under President George W. Bush, not mentioning that
he's probably a war criminal. And he's still under
investigation. Yes. But he does his job, because his job now is
to be a spokes hole for the you know that some
for security firms for selling gear.
Anyway, it goes on. But the thing that I just want to
reiterate, is that the which I put in the newsletter, which is
the real was the gripe of mine was What is wrong with the
Republican Party? Because you have the McCain's and the lenses
are, they're only just two of many Republicans who have come
out and said, We've got to investigate this election. Who
Are they kidding? They're the ones who won the election. And
now they're saying, I guess, why do we didn't win? Maybe Hillary
should have been the president. Let's see, let's investigate
this. And maybe there's some way we can get her in the office.
And maybe we shouldn't have the majorities in the House in the
Senate. We shouldn't have that we because it was rigged by the
Russians. And you know, and of course, my comment was, first of
all this even bring that up instead of siding with Trump on
this, to make people question the elections just brings out
the pro protesters and keeps them not my president meme
alive, which I outlined,
which, which by the way, I think those protests are gone. Didn't
they just die away? Where are they?
Well, they'll there, believe me, as soon as he gets an off center
suit, you still have J What is the date of this? Morning? J 20.
J 20. J 20. Situation is going to be a huge protests that day.
And so and they'll bring this up, well, who Why are you
protesting? Well, Trump's not the real president. Even the
Republicans don't think he's the president. All right. This is
the problem that I have. Are there Republicans so stupid that
they were they're all behind this idea of blaming the
Russians for everything. That's what it seems so well,
you know, here's the way I see it. And I did see a little
glimmer of hope. See if we solve the problem our, our so called
problem with Russia, we solve a lot of crap in the Middle East.
I mean, that just kind of falls away. So it's not just that we
don't have war mongering and fear mongering against Russia.
But then we don't have all this beautiful stuff that we can sell
and give and, you know, to for the Saudis. I know we can't rub
a lie. So we can't rub allies and we can't make sales. So I
would say many of the not just Republicans, but many people in
Congress. Yeah. They depend on their reelection funds for the
military industrial complex. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I would say
that. Who don't always
say that you don't give a crap about McCain and Lindsey in caps
there. They're
leading the charge? Hell yeah. Along with the Schiff, from the
Democrats. I got a clip
on. Well, yeah, there's a number of democratic Democrats are
easily on board. It makes sense. I got a clip for him later.
Well, let us play this little this little clip here, which I
think was an honest clip. This is Charlie rose again. Yeah.
This guy is to coffee used to be very famous journalist. Now I
would not Yahoo News better. I haven't looked up into what
happened to him that he's gotten downgraded to such an extreme.
But he he talks about this in the same old god, we got to
investigate directions. But there's really slips in some
actual facts about you know, these intelligence agencies and
what they think.
Yeah, no, that's
the FBI love just starting off with Hey, ya know, cool, there
we go. Ya know,
the FBI took the lead on this throughout, but they this is
clearly going to encompass the entire intelligence community, I
should point out that probably the strongest public statement
has come from Admiral Mike Rogers at the National Security
Agency, who, although he didn't say Russia, made it all but
clear, it made it clear that he was referring to a nation state
that tried to influence our elections. And he said, even
something even further, intending to affect that
election. And that is probably the biggest open question here.
What were the Russians? If indeed, it was the Russians?
What were they up to? What was their motive? Was it simply to
destabilize so and create confusion in the in the American
politic, as they have done in many other countries? Or was
this a concerted effort to influence the results of the
election?
Now this guy is all in.
He's buying it. But he's truthful when he says he never
eat dead. Rogers never actually said the rush. Yes. And I want
to follow that up. And I want to say this before you do that,
which is that if the right if they had real proof, they would
say they have proof.
Well, thank you, Bob. Bear, I'm sure you saw the clip.
But there's acknowledged it, Bob, I don't get this one at
all. Well, well, well,
the kicker to it, which of course, was not the piece that
went viral. here's the here's the thing that everybody saw, I
hope, if I should say Bob Baer isn't he's always billed as ex
CIA operative, and he works for CNN, the Russian,
more background. He was a historian has been told on this
show. He came out I want to mention this because this clip,
I think, applies to this. He came out of the University of
California, where he knows better than what he's saying.
Continue,
why does he knew why does he know better? He knows
the if you go to Cal, you know enough about the Constitution,
all the rest of it that you can't do up, you're not even
close. This is bullcrap, what he's suggesting, well,
he actually even addresses that the Russians,
it looks like to me did interfere in our elections,
we'll never be able to decide whether they changed the
outcome. But I'll tell you having worked in the CIA, if we
had been caught interfering in European elections, or Asian
elections, or anywhere in the world, or
like, I don't know, tapping Angular Merkel cell phone,
those countries,
or fixing the elections in any country name, name, a country or
named blank space and South America, just give me a
color. I can show you a country for new elections and any
democracy would. And I just I don't see it any other way. I
mean, the electoral college before the 19th is got to know
whether the Russians had an effect whether they went to
WikiLeaks, whether they they hacked email and whether they
affected American opinion, and they had a good reason not to go
out. It's to go after Hillary Clinton because Putin hates her
for the Ukraine. Bob,
I'm hearing you correctly. You're saying we should have
another election. How would that work? Is that plausible
when a foreign country interferes in your election and
the outcome is In Doubt and legitimacy of the government, I
don't know how it worked constitutionally. I'm not a
lawyer, constitutional lawyer. I'm deeply disturbed by the fact
that the Russians interfered. And I would like to see the
evidence because if the evidence is there, I don't see a way than
to vote again. I mean, I as an American citizen,
okay, that's the clip that everybody saw. And of course, I
too was like, It's Bob bear on drugs. This is insane what he's
saying. But then he did drop this in and I liked it.
What we need to do is see the forensics on this. Yeah, we need
to see it fast. And I want to see the detail there's the CIA
at this point. Can't say we have to protect sources and methods.
The outcome is too important. Sometimes you have to sacrifice
sources and I think we now's the time.
Okay. So that's a good point. Now's the time you got to show
show your cards, show your cards CIA got nothing to show of
course, they got nothing to show da
that's why he could say that.
Do you have other clips regarding this? Because I do
have the shift thing I wanted to play for you, which was just
amazing.
Okay, play this shift thing. Okay. So
Schiff was on Tucker Carlson who my God, this guy is starting to
get really good. He took off that boat.
You brought this up before? Yeah, I said, I think it was the
bowtie was choking.
I think so too. So he has a Schiff on. And you you can stop
whenever you want. This is way cut down from what it was, but
it was he just went after him continuously. So this is you'll
recall the letter that I that I was sent. This is the one that a
number of senators sent to President Obama saying we have
information you have to open up an investigation this he is one
of the guys who signed that letter. He is ground zero along
with a couple of other senators for this instigating this
effort. Shiva Schiff is a congressman, I'm sorry.
Well, here is a different letter than one. I think you mentioned
in the intro
effort to delegitimize the presidential election, some in
Congress are demanding that President Obama briefed them on
Russian interference with the election they say, I guess is a
different, a different letter. Sorry, quote, the Russians,
quote, hacked our democracy and they're mad about it. Joining us
now is one of the members who signed that letter House
Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Adam Schiff of Burbank,
California. Thanks for joining us, good to be with you. So one
of the complaints in this letter, which is pretty
interesting is that Russia, and I'm quoting now hacked our
political institutions by, among other things, giving us access
to John Podesta emails in WikiLeaks. Now, I'm against
hacking people's personal emails, for sure. It's a
problem. But no one can test those emails were real, and the
information was true. And voters got to see that and it helped
them assess how they wanted to vote. Why is that bad? Are you
really arguing against more information for voters?
And are you really arguing in favor of a foreign adversarial
party hacking into the American?
I'm explicitly not? I'm just saying that once information
comes into the public view, Why is that bad
that if we're in agreement that we shouldn't tolerate foreign
countries interfering in our election hacking and dumping
information, then we shouldn't condone it in any way? Now? Are
you saying that, that we're going to look the other way, and
we're going to ignore Russian interference because they
brought to light the facts that were helpful, the one candidate
or hurtful the other or a public interest, the voters had a
chance to evaluate that they made their decision. But if
we're going to protect ourselves from further Russian meddling in
the future, we're gonna have to call them out on it. We're gonna
have to inform the American
people about we're calling you out, Hey, we're calling you out.
And Donald Trump may have been the beneficiary and I think he
certainly was of the Russian meddling this time. But when the
president elect Trump has to cross Putin as invariably he
will, because Putin is not our friend, the president, let me
think of it as a friend, but he's not, then he made me.
Nobody's for hacking. Let me just make one clear point. You
don't know that Vladimir Putin was behind those hacks?
Well, we do know this. And
I, this guy deflects everything.
Well, let's not ignore what the Secretary of Homeland Security
and the Director of National Intelligence said publicly,
which is that these hacks were of such seriousness, they could
not have taken place without the approval at the highest levels
of the Kremlin.
chelation. And we've seen a lot of speculation that is not
speculation.
In fact, it is a statement statement of the intelligence
community's best assessment and because there's a political
reason to do it, but this is what the this is what the
intelligence professionals are saying.
Sure, chair a long time I remember vividly the massive
stockpiles of WMD in Iraq, which the intelligence community
assured us were there and they weren't so my skepticism I think
it's a patriotic position. I let me just say this, we
know every target leader said this, you have to take my word
for it. You don't have to take I've been following. There's
been a lot of Republican members. This isn't just all
Americans, Democrats and Republicans and particularly,
you know, of the party of Reagan ought to be concerned when we
have Russia. I
If you aren't a douche bag, the party of Reagan
voters should not have had the right to see that information.
This is the question this is the thing that I think he's he's
very spot on about this thing you ain't they didn't have the
right to see this.
You could take it back would you say voters you're not allowed to
see that in front? Well, I
would say that we ought to stop Russia from doing this now
whether the press should publish the information do
you think they should not it's gonna get worse because now
Schiff has
answers absolutely nothing. And he does a very good job with I
would say in all these Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he's performative.
Now,
Carlson's gonna do something which I dislike severely, he's
going to say, Look into the camera and say,
oh, yeah, that is
really in shot but shifts response is beyond and they
just, I mean, this this all of this could have ended in
fisticuffs. fisticuffs, I say?
Well, the question I think that there are some cases where the
public interest is so great, they should publish and more
importantly, the Putin government more importantly, for
the president elected today to say that he doesn't know whether
the Russians you're all
here on the Intel Committee. Let me ask you one final question
right into the camera and say I know for a fact a government of
Vladimir Putin was behind the hacks of John Podesta absolutely
the government of Vladimir Putin was behind the hacks of our
institution and the dump of John Podesta is not only in the
United
he's so quick is guys like yeah of our democratic institutions
and then causes no no no, come on. It was the it was the
Podesta emails,
but also in Europe, okay,
you're not you know what you're dodging and Tucker look and say
well, I know they did jump as they had
I think that Ronald Reagan came rolling around Ronald Reagan
you're carrying water for the Kremlin
carrying water. I love this now now the insult you're carrying
water
for everyone Yeah, you're carrying water for the Kremlin.
Rolling Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan you're carrying water for
the Kremlin.
Look you're on the inside and you can't say they
Hawk he's gonna you're gonna have to move your shoulder
the insult committee
it could be but wait Schiff is gonna make a horrible state
watch they
are carrying water for the Kremlin.
And it does sound like the insult committee. Yeah, you're
on the congressional installed committee.
Look, you're sitting on the inside. And you can't say they
hacked hackers
gonna you're gonna have to move your shoulder to RT Russian
television because what this
because it's so dumb and you're being duplicitous. I'm asking
you. Did they hack Podesta emails?
Like that Tucker, you're getting water for that's pretty
hilarious.
You know? When you when you are an apologist for the Kremlin
that's what you're
gonna pop one last time Congressman look at the cameras
that they hacked John Podesta emails we know for a fact that
Putin's government did that you can't and you know you can't
you're hiding behind weasel why
I just said that. The Russians I'm not gonna be specific as to
because you
don't know it. That's why all right, done. One you don't know
it and you're alleging any evidence and you're you're
ignoring the evidence because you don't care. The fact that is
that it helped the Republican candidate is all you need to
know.
It's totally false. I just think if you're gonna make a serious
allegation about an actual country with an actual
government, you don't know what you're talking about. And you
don't I think
that you ought to say I
gotta go now I'm on our
intelligence committee has seen for a fact if you could say you
wouldn't occur when you know that if you're willing to be in
denial about this because it suits
whatever you can blather on all you want man, which I gave you a
chance to state it clearly and you wouldn't. Very much. I
appreciate that, Congressman. And now I need to take a call
from Vladimir Putin so I'm gonna put you on hold for one second.
I thought that was pretty good.
He's off the deep end. Totally. Oh, yeah. I mean, both of them.
Yeah. Speaking of RT I don't know if you caught that. But Max
told me that before the appearance as well. You remember
the girl that quit on air? The one who said Putin? Yeah, Putin,
who in at RTR. He said who in girl he said that the same
people who got her to quit on air had asked him to quit on
air. And they had money. They were offering him money and they
were from Voice of America.
Wow. Yeah. About Liliana no agenda show. Uh huh.
Then he said it wasn't enough much money. She said he said it
wasn't enough. It didn't. Didn't go easier though. The eight
holes if you gotta show with some real cash
so the Voice of America is the one who got that girl on the air
by bribing her.
Well, that's according to max. Yeah.
It's only gonna make sense to me. She wasn't getting paid a
lot. They're not paying big Dover R T, they don't know what
to do with this going with a scale is no. So they're probably
paying her like some, Yeah, gotta know nothing. So she gets
a, you know, stay off for 50 grand and she takes it and she
goes off and does some local TV somewhere makes more money than
she was making on our t exactly.
Well, you know, luckily Max is not like that. Now, you know, so
this Russian hacking. And by the way, I could tell it really
pissed you off because you were actually tweeting congresspeople
was everyone's say somebody,
you were tweeting Lindsey Graham, like, hey, because
Lindsey Graham said something like, wow, Russian is hacking
democracies all over the world. And John replies, oh, that's our
job. That's you get out of the way. Yeah, I said that. So part
of this is in a
way, I also did a tweet about Oh, you mean, like in the
Ukraine? I saw that we're in Ukraine. I didn't. I didn't, I
said it right, actually.
And part of this is supporting or dovetails or maybe is
intended to support the idea that we can change the electoral
colleges vote on December 19 2019.
It is writing the JJ 20 earliest J 19.
No, sir, it is J 20. Hashtag J 20. But that was hashtag J 19.
No, no hashtag J 20. And I know because it was a bad hashtag.
It's a bad hashtag, because a lot of the J 20. China's new
fighter shows up. Okay, well, 1920 21 is Jay Simpson. But on
December 19, the Electoral College who had been for people
who don't understand we don't live in a democracy, this is a
Republic we have. Rep and we have represent rules we have we
have rules maybe. And we have we're crazy. But we're also not
one country. We are 50 states, we are united states. There was
a reason to have balanced. But Michael Moore is leading the
charge. Excuse me.
By the way, it's I think it's almost as if there's two things
going on. I think it's a felony to try to, to coerce to coerce a
voter. Yes, it is. And that means any voter that means you
when you go to the polls, you can't have somebody come up
there and say I'm gonna punch you if you vote for you. Unless
you vote for Hillary. I don't know if it's a felony. If it's a
I think it's a well, it's definitely against the law. And
I think it is a felony. And again, these guys are they're
having their lives threatened. We've played clips before the
electoral college folks.
Okay, well, what's happening, and there are a number of people
leading this charge, but Michael Moore is definitely up ahead of
the pack. We live in two dimensions right now to complete
different realities in the world. But certainly in the
United States. It's undeniable. People. It's like the dress
member. It's blue and silver, it's golden black. Whatever your
reality is, is your truth and when no one's going to change
it. So we're going to be sit, listen, listening to crazy for a
long time. But Michael Moore Wow. Pretty much
unconstitutional unpatriotic and douchebag. He was on Seth
Meyers. Here's
the Democrats biggest problem. And this includes people who
voted for Hillary. They don't act like they won. They won.
She's 2.7 million votes ahead of
time. But I want you to really listen to what he said. Yeah,
almost 2 million, almost as many votes as Obama got in 2012.
Right. All right. So right, the Democrats, this is the second
time this has happened in 16 years I have with Gore, where
they win the popular vote, but lose the White House. It'd be
like the Giants beating the Patriots. 21 to 19. And then the
sportscasters going, well, that's too bad. The Giants lost.
Like, No, it'd be more like it. They had more yards rushing and
they pass the ball more, but they lost. Is that a better
analogy?
That's a really good analogy.
Hey, for a non studies
guy, you stumped me for sports camp, Bill Belichick is,
but I know my football cast
is going well. That's too bad. The Giants lost that game. Like,
no, we have to get rid of this electoral college. The majority
of our fellow Americans do not want him in the White House. But
because of an arcane law, from the 1700s
that we're all on an arcane law from the 1700s. Let me think
what that could be. Is it Wait, wait, it's
in the Constitution. The entire constitution is arcane. It comes
from us instead of
saying it comes from the Constitution and if you want a
constitutional amendment to change it fine. No, it's an
arcane law, not
want him in the White House, but because of an arcane law. I
can't believe he said that from the 1700s. That was set up to
placate the slave states. So they would join the EU. Again,
so they gave them a little more power.
Thank you for saying that, I believe if you want to change
this, because if they needed a little more power the slave
states, then you also need to change the amount of senators
that people have. Or maybe you know, this is exactly the other
side of the coin. You have the same power as other states. It
was an equalizer. Was it based on slave chair short? And
so they gave them a little more power? Because they had a law a
lesser population? Yes. Thank
you. He's not explaining exactly why the Electoral College exists
with this statement.
Pretty much okay. To balance things a little bit as
Yeah, because we're the United States, not because
he doesn't say he says, because to balance things a little bit,
otherwise, California wins everything. He's not going to
say that you're not gonna say California is the responsible
for the 2.7 million and popular vote over I mean, it was like 17
to 30, or something was the vote here because nobody cared. And
then the state is completely washed over by the Democrats. In
the area that I'm in. It's 80%. Democrats always, you know,
everybody's got to save seat. So if you want to just turn the
country over to California, because they're going to do the
tail that will wag the dog? Well,
yeah, it wouldn't matter if all of a sudden all of California
moved to Texas, which by the way seems to be happening, we would
have the same issue. Texas also couldn't determine the election
if we had, you know, 100 million people here. And as John, as you
assert, we're all going to be liberals gun toting liberals
now. Yes. So that's why this electoral college is in place.
But wait, it gets
better again. So they gave them a little more power, because
they had a lot a lesser population. So and the irony of
a man who said so many things that were racist during the
campaign, that he would benefit from a law from the 1700s, to
placate the slave states, is just the irony of it is
unbearable. And and, and but the other thing the founding fathers
thought about this, and now
here it comes, because he's going to speak the truth. But
here is where we're going to see. And this is very important.
two dimensions, same information, then I interpret it
one way, Michael Moore interprets it another way, not
that I don't understand his interpretation. Here it comes.
And but the other thing, the founding fathers thought about
this, and this was Hamilton's one of his genius ideas. With it
was that there, maybe there should be a stopgap just in
case, you know, a madman or somebody who thought he was
going to be king gets elected. There's that one final door?
Gotta go through.
Exactly.
And I believe which, which is to say, which is to say, it works.
Yeah, you got two ways of looking at this. It worked
because it kept a criminal person with Hillary more popular
votes. Who got the most popular votes as someone might, for
whatever reason, because she's a woman? I don't know. Yeah, it
worked. But if you want to take from the other perspective, it
didn't work. Because you get this guy, this other guy beat
Hillary, he always use Pro Hillary well, and so now they're
saying, I know, I know. This is like the great the great. This
is the dimensional divide that we're talking about this is it.
This is it. This is exactly April, seeing the same thing in
two different ways. Exactly.
Exactly. That is what's going on. Now. He has another little
prediction of what's going to happen. He's
not President of the United States yet. Oh, I'm sorry. He's
not President of the United States yet. Yeah. He's not
President. Right. Right. Right. He's not President till noon. On
January 20. of 2017. That is, that is what are we this is
Wednesday night. Yeah. So that's more than six weeks away. Would
you not agree we regardless what side of the political fence
you're on, this has been the craziest election year it's
certainly nothing anyone has predicted has happened. Yeah.
Every the opposite has happened. Yes. So is it possible just
possible that in these next six weeks, something else might
happen? Yeah, something crazy, something we're not expecting.
So that could either be the Electoral College deciding
somehow
which they won't do that's not happening. Well, you know, the
20 year What is he doing? Is he predicting an assassination that
is the only other thing it could be I mean, if you said before
December night advocating an assassination that's how what is
he saying here? That is one one dimension could read that that
way? Yes, for sure.
It sounds like it to me and I'm looking at all these stories
about the Russians and all the rest of it. You know, all this
is this last ditch effort this is I don't believe that the
Republicans have given up on the idea that Trump shouldn't be
president maybe Pence will be okay. All I see is this all the
if so it goes like this assassination takes it all. Oh,
well, that's too bad, but you know, he wasn't going to be
good. Anyway, he and everyone you Yes, I'm gonna Yes. And he's
not President yet. You know, most of us Oh, yeah. And you
didn't assassinate the president is different Yes. Now this is
pathetic. Yeah, it is. It is. And the Republicans are on board
with this at large number. Yeah. I think most of them really
think mostly I listened to I don't have are they high?
What do they want?
I mean, what do they want and they don't want it they don't
want it they don't want Trump is president they never did you
know why? Because now I know I know why because now you know
the Louisiana and so there's now the to the to final Republican
Senate. Senators are the final two final Senate seats have been
filled by Republicans. So now I guess, their britches are all up
high. And they're like, Oh, we don't yeah, now we got the House
and the Senate for sure. Now, we don't need Trump. Is that what
you're thinking? Possibly well, didn't
know that was good pants, they still have a Republican and
Panthers probably be a little more amenable to what they want
to do. Well, then they should wish Trump still as far as I'm
concerned, Trump is a horse cannon.
So unless they're really, really high, it would be very messy to
have anything happened before the 20th. If you want Pence and
then you got to wait until the inauguration. Makes no sense
makes no sense to me.
No, it what, I'm not sure what the situation is if the
President Elect is dead before the inauguration, if the vice
president just gets that job automatically, which is what I
suspect we've looked at it, we've looked at it. And we
looked at it and what conclusion did we draw? I don't
remember. I don't like thinking about these things. I really
dislike it enormously. It's bad karma for everybody.
It's, well, these guys are pushing it. And you wouldn't you
just heard from that guy is the same thing. They're pushing it.
These Republicans are all in they're all in with this. I saw
Paul Ryan. He was on CNN. Yeah. No, he was on Hannity. Hannity.
Yeah. He was all in on investigating the Russians all
in.
And you know what, here's what I like about. And again, this is,
this is just a matter of how you want to see it, what dimension
your your your feet are in, before Trump to possibly who the
hell knows to possibly nominate Rex Tillerson of Exxon is, is is
incredibly frightening to people like McCain and Graham and
everyone else? Because that would mean oh, gee, he, I don't
know not many people in America have have, you know, high level
executives who know Putin. This guy does. And he's the guy that
can bring together some piece of course, if you live in a
different dimension, like Oh, my God, we're in Russia is gonna
we're gonna be owned by Russia. Oh. God put me on speed dial.
Yes. You've got face back, baby. I see what's going on. So
there's a lot, there's a lot of issues. And it does kind of
revolve around the $650 billion a year that goes into the
military industrial complex. And we've had this shot across the
bow. Hey, Boeing, hey, you should it's too expensive.
That's a shot across the bow.
Well, let's start with let's play this clip Pentagon report.
One, it's about time
I gather, there wasn't a great deal of cooperation across the
board. But they did come back with a report
and what did it find? Well, what
they found was pretty striking. This is kind of hard, I think
for most folks to understand. But the Pentagon actually up
till then had no idea how many contractors actually worked for
it. So they were trying to figure out how many people work
in its business operations. And they found that more than 1
million people worked in these core business operations, like
you said, health care management, human resources,
didn't really play this clip on Thursday.
Yeah, you did a repeat clip last show, too. I just want to remind
people, what's what's going on
pretty management things that any organization needs. But you
know, even for the Pentagon, 1 million is a lot of people these
are, you know, essentially desk jobs. And that compares to only
1.3 million active duty troops. So the back end of the Pentagon
was almost as big as you know, the tip of the spear so to
speak. So
now, we also have to mention the old the Rumsfeld thing about the
loss of money to throw
$2,000,000,000,002.3 trillion on September 10 2001. Oops,
that was the best one. Yeah. And we couldn't we didn't play is
this one. This is the part three of this clip. This is where
Trump is bitching about the about the Boeing jet? Well, I
think we lacked in speaking,
because I asked, asking you to okay, but that's okay. Because I
have some Pentagon related clips. play well, Pentagon slash
CIA, the Uncle Tom of the Democratic Party, Uncle Tom
Tulsi Gabbard.
Oh yes. No, I saw there. Um, that first woman has got to be
stopped.
This woman's got to become president. She's, she's had to
stick Oh my
she obviously never got I get the sense that she was like, God
at the Congress never got courted by anybody. No one
No one ever thought to tell her to hey, you know you can here's
what you don't do
that he's like, but it reminds me of I get the sense that
Congress is kind of like prison. You get thrown in prison, and
you get one gang or another wants you to be you know, we're
Damn your bitch to, to to protect you from the other
gangs, right? And I just get the sense that nobody invited Tulsi
J any of the part,
I think the only actually some of it. Yeah, she's cute. She's a
surfer Hawaii. But of course she's a vet. She's dynamite. I
could watch her a lot.
Do you agree with Donald Trump's vision of America first, when it
comes to foreign policy?
I'm glad to hear him talking about ending our country's
interventionist regime change war policies. As you know, this
is something that I've been talking about for years, that we
need to stop the destruction that's been caused by our
country continuously getting involved in these
counterproductive regime change wars that not only end up
strengthening our enemy in groups like ISIS and al Qaeda,
but they actually end up causing more suffering for the people in
these countries where we are intervening as in Syria. Now,
I know you feel that way about Syria and Libya and Iraq. Do you
feel that way about Afghanistan?
Afghanistan is a little bit of a different situation. But But
yes, essentially.
Now I have the next clip is also I was on Jake Tapper is about a
bill that she introduced. And I have the clip of first speaking
for a minute in front of Congress, but it's pretty much
exactly what she says here. And this Wow, coming from a
Democrat. It's just surprising, but it's so true. And Tulsi
Gabbard 2020.
And tell me about the legislation. You have a bill
that you introduced today that would address loopholes, you say
have allowed American taxpayer dollars to fund terror groups
such as Al Qaeda and ISIS and Syria. Are you really suggesting
that the US government is funding these terrorist groups?
I'm not only suggesting it this is this is the reality that
we're living in. And most Americans, you know, if you are
in a
tapper, well, not directly, as if that's okay. Well, not
directly.
Not directly, it's okay. They use
PayPal, because
we're living in and most Americans, you know, if you or I
were to go and provide money, weapons or support or whatever,
to a group like al Qaeda or ISIS, we would immediately be
thrown in jail. However, the US government has been providing
money, weapons, Intel assistance and other types of support
through the CIA directly to these groups that are working
with and are affiliated with al Qaeda and ISIS. So
you're saying that the CIA is giving money to groups in Syria
and those groups are working?
In ISIS? There are there have been numerous reports in the New
York Times to the Wall Street Journal and other news outlets
who have declared that
easy just playing dumb for a reason. What's the point? Is he
playing stupid? Is that the idea? Yes, you go on there, are
you Oh, I can't believe I can't believe this is happening.
I'm shocked. I tell you,
Wall Street Journal and other news outlets who have declared
that these rebel groups have formed these battlefield
alliances with al Qaeda that essentially is Al Qaeda groups
are in charge of every single rebel group on the ground
fighting in Syria to overthrow the Syrian government.
The US government says that they vet the groups that they give
money to very, very closely, and that you're wrong, then there
are not alliances between groups that the American taxpayers fund
and these other groups, obviously they all are fighting
Assad,
I beg to differ. Evidence has shown time and time again, that
that is not the case that we are both directly and indirectly
supporting these groups who are allied with are partnered with
al Qaeda and ISIS in working to overthrow the Syrian government
of Assad. And we've also been providing that support through
countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar. To do that.
Bingo. Boom. Shakalaka tip for the congresswoman. No hot tubs
no small aviation's?
Definitely no small aviation's?
That's no puddle jumpers between the Big Island anything else?
No, no, no, I really like her. And the third piece is again,
one of these. What dimension are you in interpretation clips,
which Jake asked her about quickly before
you go. I know. There's some of your colleagues Democrats have
expressed concern about too many retired generals being in the
Trump cabinet you have the National Security Adviser,
General Flynn and then also Have you talked to General Mattis?
And General Kelly at the Pentagon and Homeland Security?
Have you share their concerns? Or do you disagree?
I don't share their concerns. In fact, as a veteran and as
someone who's still serving in the Army National Guard, I find
it pretty offensive for people to outright discriminate against
veterans. Here you have generals who have literally spent their
whole lives serving our country, putting service before self,
putting their lives on the line to defend democracy. And yet
people are criticizing them and discriminating against them
saying just because you served as a general previously, you are
disqualified from serving in a high position of leadership in
our government, these people arguably, have put far more on
the line and are far more deeply personally committed to
upholding and protecting our democracy than their critics.
There you go. And I love the slipping in the hate she
discriminating against vets. And of course, this is also just how
people interpret I mean, I will be the first to say that, you
know, the uniforms and all the metals is neon did it has kind
of a war mongering spirit. But guess what, some of the largest
executives in the United States are working in the military
industrial complex. They that's what they do. And they are
managers and they know how to do a lot of things. But it is very,
very scary to people in certain dimensions. Here's Carol, CNN
with our Powell who's back Lusine Apollo Tonto
Democrats, they're worried that Mr. Trump has picked so many
generals, Inspector General to serve as Secretary of Defense
National Security, Department of Homeland Security and Secretary
of State but does that concern you?
Not necessarily it and I think the the putative nominee for the
purpose of talking much
more in her mouth like stone does she hide? She sounds? It
sounds it sounds like she's been drinking sounds like arrogance.
Not necessarily. And I think the Department of Homeland Security.
General Kelly, I think you need somebody that could do multiple
things at the same time, because the Department of Homeland
Security is such broad ranging powers and authorities, what you
want is a leader who can organize, prioritize and
multitask.
Some, though, say a militarized got us into the Iraq War. It
created a militarized array, but she
was using a militarized America. No, the lying press and
complicit with the military and this industrial complex is what
got us into the war. That's what God is it not just a bunch of
generals, I think it was Colin Powell, who was was the
Secretary of Defense at the time. Now he was what was he at
the time? I think he was just eight states.
America got us into, you know, the Iraq War. It created
problems.
Abu Ghraib,
it created the mess that is now Guantanamo Bay. So did they have
a point?
You know, they may in the abstract, I think the key
question is, how do these generals operate? When, for
example, General Kelly will be in a civilian context. This is
not the Pentagon.
Okay, means you can't boss people around or what
you have to put up with the lesbians if some from the sounds
of the stuff that we just discussed previously.
That was in the homeland security, not in the Pentagon,
necessarily.
That's where this Kelly's going. He's going to Homeland Security.
Oh, that's right. Yeah, you're right. Oh, man. neath maybe
that's why she's so smug. Oh, wait until you meet my friends.
To my friends beat the crap it is
gonna be rough for you, baby.
Very nice. I think it's a good idea to put a general in charge
of Homeland Security. It's already a militaristic concept
and an operation. You might as well get some get it. So it's
organized a little better. In a military way. I mean, it doesn't
have to be, you know, attacking the public or anything like a
like a, like a national police force, but it needs some sort
of, I think good general running that thing. Not a bad idea.
No, no, I think it sounds pretty good to me.
Depends on Kelly himself actually have a clip about
Kelly. I think he's got background in it. Okay. Homeland
Security and Democracy Now. This will be very slanted.
Donald Trump also announced he's picked retired Four Star Marine
General John Kelly to be the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Kelly was formerly the head of the United States Southern
Command where he oversaw the military jail at Guantanamo Bay.
Margaret Hwang, Executive Director of Amnesty
International USA said of Kelly quote, We're particularly
concerned that while chief of us Southern Command, Kelly oversaw
Guantanamo during periods of extensive hunger strikes and
force feeding that was unsafe and inhumane unquote. Kelly has
repeatedly testified to Congress saying the US Mexico border
represents a threat to national security, leading many to worry
he'll escalate the militarization of the border and
US immigration policy overall, while the head endive United
States Southern Command, Kelly also promoted the Alliance for
prosperity, a program that provides hundreds of millions of
dollars and police and military funding to Honduras, El Salvador
and Guatemala. The program's been criticized by human rights
activists and some Democratic lawmakers who are calling for
the suspension of this funding to Honduras until the country
addresses its gross human rights violations. Kelly retired from
the military in 2015. He's the third general Trump has pick
four top positions so far. The other two are retired Lieutenant
General Mike Flynn for national security adviser and retired
Marine Corps General James Mattis for defense secretary.
You know what's funny to me is they got these three generals
and they the left which is Democracy Now, and then their
perspective. They hate Flynn and they hate Kelly, but they like
the guy whose nickname is mad dog.
Yeah, no, that's great.
Hey, John, with that if you don't mind like the thank you

And we have an upcoming serie here and this is James Vincent
Carlson three four 5.67 in Denver, Colorado, we send in a
note typed this will be my last payment tonight. I'm in to the
greatest podcast in the world. have you saved much time and
aggravation in lieu of listening to the standard leftist news now
that our president elect is Donald Trump The only place I
can clearly hear this is from the no agenda show and in the
many clips from the other sources you play, and research
indicate why for this I am grateful it's I can now be
assured that constitution works a pleasant change from the past
eight years. Do you see where he's coming from the last
payment I sent to you as opposed to before my knee was to be
replaced in early August but alas, things are not what they
appear to be. It had to be delayed another eight weeks to
see the right doctor for a new date on surgery on September 20.
I'm not a big fan of need knee replaced No. But then I got West
Nile virus a few days before surgery. And the date was
reached at the December 6, my knee is in worse condition. I'm
ready for the surgery. You know you could get an offload or
which my wife had some issue with it in the end she she got
an offload what's an off loader and off loader is a is a device
that goes on your it goes on your thigh and it's like kind of
tight on your thigh and then it goes on on the calf and it's got
his own joint and it takes all the the pressure off the knees
so the knee has got no nothing if you stand up the off loader
is carrying the weight
too and Mimi get one of those like one of those one legged
scooters
she only used it for like about she used it for like she had
some knee issues she used it for like two months and then a knee
it clear it up and she took the off load doesn't use it anymore.
Oh but it's a very commonly used device for knee issues got it?
But the doctors would rather some basically for
Forrest Gump gear is what you're saying.
Yeah, I guess. Anyway, pleasant surprise. They've got the west
now my knee is much worse conditions. I'm ready for the
surge in the body and hand tremors have finally ended from
West Nile. Oh man lasting lasting into four months to do
so and I can now type Oh, I wish Geez. I wish that'd be knighted
as Sir Jim cat man, as I'm much closer to cats than most people.
Got one on his lap as we speak. You have that down on the list.
I
got sir Jim cat man. Sure do.
If this letters received before September 15. Please do not
announce it until December 18 shows I'll probably be semi
conscious. Well, it's too late. Now. All the drugs necessary for
the first couple of weeks. You'd never get mentioned. Believe me
if it was we didn't do it today. I give the two of you the great
thanks for the only source of accurate accurate news
available. I wish you the best wishes for a great new year. I
will look forward to your future broadcasts at some point happily
begin go toward knighthood. Next next level of knighthood. And
he's got some documentation for his thing. He's got a signature
that looks like he's still got the tremors. But anyway, you
will be knighted today.
Yes, I'm gonna give him a little bit of a karma and we suggest
kratom you've got karma
or, you know, we got a note from a guy who's I guess he's been
involved in the legal marijuana thing. And so I got back and
forth back and forth with him about
CBD or Dan Dan.
It's Dan Yeah. CBD he says no, he says he says from experience
you'll know that you cannot and I think this is maybe why my my
wife goes to one of these you know there's so many of them in
Washington one of these places that sell legalized pot and and
if you're going to use CBD, they recommend there that it's got
THC in it too. So you do get a buzz. And this guy goes on his
CBD by itself doesn't do anything.
So I was Dennis it was the den, man. I
think that's what Dennis Oh, it was the den. It was the den Got
it, got it. And Isa CBD doesn't do anything by itself yet
because you can get pure CBD has been extracted. And according to
the literature, it seems to me that it does something but he
says no. He says though CBD is really deals mostly with
inflammation. And THC is the is the pain and the combination of
the two clear things up pretty well. I
was following the conversation, but then I got high and I was
like, whatever.
And I and so I said, Well, you know that may be true. Maybe
it's true. I mean, I do when you go to the shops, they'll always
tell you, you have the combination of some sort, but
it's nothing really helped the legalization process. So
certainly make this argument and I would you know, what you're
saying is the ixnay on the THC A and will slip.
I'm trying I'm saying that until this it gets ironed out at once
the whole country is legalized this product, but it's not going
to get legalized and I'll say it again. Oh, they say it over and
over and over again. When you go to one of these shops in
Washington DC, Washington DC in Washington State. You see mostly
old women Old women, older old women with aches and pains they
love this stuff.
And I will also say I say it over and over again the it's a
weed, you can grow it yourself people.
Indeed what a thought
onward. Henry Sepulveda $250 goes into the Associate
Executive Producer category Keep up the great work he writes from
somewhere in the United States given the great work and all the
great media deconstruction a huge thanks for preventing my
smoking hot girlfriend and fellow producer Andrea from
becoming a hill bot, like the rest of her Southern California
friends. We
saved another relationship.
Yes, excellent. Good.
Give them some karma.
You've got karma good.
Especially if she's smoking hot, man. That would be a bummer.
Oh, yeah, that would be bad. Jim nonnamous from Parts Unknown to
another $13.12 No, no, no, no, no nothing except is a little
puts out Ed does the right thing he sends in a check. He puts a
post it note over the on the check over his name and says
anonymous or he's in his case. He says use Tim nonnamous Yeah.
Dave Bozeman is our last social executive producer for
Wilmington, North Carolina send in a check and send in a note
with that check. which reads I'm sorry it's been a few months
since I donated but I want to let you know that I have not
jumped ship. I can't begin to man overboard. I can't begin to
tell you how much you too mean to my sanity. I watch and listen
to no MSN anymore. And only a bit to the right talk radio and
to the seed man when pizza gate reared its head and I started
believing some of what I was seeing on the blogs. I trusted
Adam when he said it was all BS that i i also want to or I also
wanted to thank you for turning me into a couple of turning me
on to a couple of excellent TV series Mr. Robot and the
girlfriend experience bow and g the girlfriend I didn't as you
know,
nevermind I don't know where I don't I don't think I like that
one. But
well, he watches it. As you know if you haven't, I'll tell you
the two shows now you should watch one you should people have
Earth outstanding. It but it's kind of dry humor. It's a
comedy. It's about aliens with actual aliens in the show. Oh,
and but you're very funny show I've watched but only the second
half. Well, it's a very funny show. If you get a chance to it
may not be for everybody I'm not generally recommending. But
another show I really like is Berlin station. But you got to
watch it from the beginning, which means you got to find a
way to get the early shows. Berlin station is very has this
kind of a gritty feel of a real sleazy kind of Tinker tours
soldier, whatever that thing was Tailor Soldier Spy. It's got
that style and it's kind of creepy. And it's about the
Berlin CIA station and all the mess that it's in. And it's just
really, really very entertaining. Reminds me of
Rubicon in some way too. As you know if you have an IQ above
that, Steven Avery's cousin. There's almost nothing to watch
on the boob tube and I greatly appreciate the tips. Just got
two more. Please continue to let us know if you become aware of
quality TV. Also the good places funny but it's on hiatus. I
can't quite recommend anything of such quality to you except
maybe hitting catch fire. Especially for you John, and the
first season of Fargo. I couldn't watch Fargo thanks
again for everything and please play anything Sharpton as I have
despised that man since the taught to wanna Brawley fiasco.
Okay, that's all he wants.
Yep. Yeah. Well, I gave him a Karma tip.
And I will say I didn't say pizza gate is BS. I said,
there's no victims as the thing is missing from this. And that
has been countered. Of course, I'm foolish. Because there are
no victims because that is what they put on the pizza is pieces
of the children. You say? I'm not kidding. I am not kidding
you.
This is this is I put that gag in the show that they're eating
children
video. But this is this is this. This is a serious response that
I'm getting. Oh, god, there's no victims because they're eating
the children. Exactly. There's no real conflict. Thank you very
much, my friend.
You've got karma.
Outstanding. All right, thank you to our executive producers
and Associate Executive producers. Of course. What this
means is that you have credits that are official and can be
used even if your President wouldn't be great, but that was
some fake news, wasn't it? How about that for fake news where
everybody knows that you can be on a credit role of executive
producer and that doesn't mean you're working. That means
you're you're credited with part of the foundation of the show,
which in Trump's case is financial. And he put a lot of
work into it. He hosted it doesn't
mean he's gonna remain as Exec. I have a, I have a clip.
Okay. Well, let me Yeah, I wonder when it's coming right
out. I just want to say, thank you very much to our executive
producers and our Associate Executive producers. Wow.
Nussbaum, thank you so much, not just us. And we look forward to
your ceremonies for those of you who have become knights and of
course we want to thank everybody else who came in above
$50. And the show going and of course another program for you
on Thursday. Remember us at vora.org/and so happy you could
make that noise. You could propagate the formula formula
is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth Patrick
Alright, let's let's play that one right away, John. Which one
is
it? This is the clip Trump rundown. A conflict of interest.
surprising news from Trump world tonight. The President Elect
announcing loyalist Rudy Giuliani will not be joining his
cabinet. It was a mutual decision by President elect
Trump and Mayor Giuliani to do so. Giuliani telling Fox News
tonight. That was the only one I had any real interest in
Giuliani lobbied hard for the job just a few weeks ago, but
now joins Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie as would be shoo
ins now on the outside of the new White House. The names now
at the top of Trump's list for Secretary of State Mitt Romney,
former antagonists turn supporter and Rex Tillerson, CEO
of Exxon Mobil. And today sources also tell NBC News Mr.
Trump plans to tap Gary Cohn Goldman Sachs number two as the
director of the National Economic Council, he'll join
other Wall Street insiders on Trump's team. Also new scrutiny
of the president elects decision to stay on as the executive
producer of The Apprentice, new host, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
I don't think that he's going to be co hosting with me. Even
though maybe we have him was one of the guests advisors and
something like this.
NBC entertainment declined to comment, noting MGM owns and
produces the show,
Donald is retaining his executive producer credit as he
always has. It's been the same way since season one.
Still experts warn Trump's business entanglements could
pose a problem.
The business world has seen this time and time again, where
executives think they have only the appearance of a conflict.
But in fact, it turns very dangerous and very real very
quickly.
It's really dangerous, is dangerous, dangerous that
he's going to be the Do Nothing executive producer. You know,
who's just there? Because he's just there he does it create
help create the show? How is any of this dangerous?
So I heard this? What day was it? I guess it was Friday. It
was just everyone was talking about this? And they were all
like, well, you know, executive producer, and how can you do
that? Again, work he's gonna do yes, some some presidents have
hobbies, or you know, they write books. But no one really ever
bothered to just ask if he was going to do anything. And now
it's just a credit. It's words on the screen and deserved as
his show as part of his deal. Who cares? Yeah, who cares?
It's probably less conflict of interest D than doing a book for
Simon and Schuster, like, oh, well, I know who Obama's
publisher is. But he did two or three books. Yeah. And they go
out and they're getting maybe if you look at his income statement
over the last few years, most of his income is from the royalties
from these books. How's that? Not a conflict of interest?
No, I mean, you could do speeches for banks. I mean,
that's not a conflict of interest anymore. So yeah,
apparently not. It's pretty insane. Now, Hillary Clinton
reemerged. And
she comes out of the woods, she's, she's still thinking,
well, maybe these guys can pull something off. And I can be
like, President,
well, what I thought was very interesting. Because now that
this is the fake news bit that she was talking about, is the
way I hear what she's saying. She is kind of referencing pizza
gate. Because a certain point she says, you know, well, this
fake news is dangerous, because then you have ordinary people
just trying to get on with their lives service the community. I
mean, what else could she be talking about? Then that you
know, that guy went in and and the actor,
the actor, the actor, the known actor? Yeah.
Oh, I know that I am more and more convinced that. If pizza
gate is anything, it's COINTELPRO. And maybe it wasn't
set up that way, but it is definitely being used to
auction.
Yeah, I think you're right. No one and off the tracks. Exactly.
And, and they had to bring the actor and to put it back, you
know, get to stay. Exactly.
Exactly. Because of course, obviously we know, to some
degree this is true. I mean, we don't know if the if the people
involved are actually doing. We don't know, we don't know. But
yeah, we know that there's pedophilia in government.
There's, you know, 5000 infected computers infected but have
kiddie porn across the government and is filled with
this week last week a report. But of course we're distracted
from that we're not looking at what's going on the UK is still
rife with these pedophilia investigations. So this is a
great distraction. She's adding to it. And of course, how she
was in the era of fake news and stifling and Well,
congratulations.
Let me just mentioned briefly one thread in particular that
should concern all Americans, Democrats, Republicans and
independents alike, especially those who serve in our Congress,
the epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that
flooded social media over the past year. It's now clear that
so called fake news can have real world consequences. This
isn't about politics or partisanship. lives are at risk
lives of ordinary people just trying to go about their days to
do their jobs, contribute to their communities. It's a danger
that must be addressed and addressed quickly. bipartisan
legislation is making its way through Congress to boost the
government's response to foreign propaganda Silicon
Valley is starting to grapple with the challenge and threat of
fake news.
It's imperative that leaders in both the private sector and the
public sector step up to protect our democracy. Pizza Pizza.
All right now you did a little work there. I'm glad to see
that. You actually gave it some thought you put Pizza pizza at
the Thank you. Thank
you. And I literally
give you a clip of the day for doing that work. Thank you. I
clicked
to Let's Play my clip on this because I have a little
commentary to me. Yeah, I know. You're very amused yourself.
That's very funny. This is the fake news PBS Macedonia
clip. Ah, yes, I have one from NBC two
technology companies like Facebook and Google say they are
working to tackle the proliferation of fake news. One
way has been to decrease the incentives for advertising that
appears on these sites. Sheryl Sandberg, the CEO of Facebook on
Thursdays today's show,
we've taken important steps, but there's a lot more to do. We
know that people don't want to see hoaxes on Facebook, and we
don't want to see hoaxes on Facebook.
According to a Buzzfeed News investigation, many fake news
sites are built purely for profit, sometimes even created
by opportunistic teens in far off places like Macedonia,
regardless of the content, because more clicks lead to more
dollars. You know,
the today's show had a whole piece this morning. Our managers
NBC News This Morning about one of those guys and they had the
one guy that I guess had been they were he was he was also an
NPR is planet money or something. That guy in Macedonia
and they come up with this piece that makes it sound well, I just
got to play this for you. It's it's about the exactly the same
story. And I
chopped it in half fake news has affected
balance. So they're in this country or this in Macedonia and
that town, whatever it's called, fake news has
affected balance in a country with almost a quarter of its
citizens unemployed. And in a town with an average annual
income below $5,000. The impulse to deceive was seemingly
irresistible. So now, as the money flows, so too does the
liquor. This club is cashing in on the success of fake news
entrepreneurs, we get paid relatively majestic sums by
Macedonian standards by selling advertising on their sites.
What's happened in our town is that a lot of money came and a
lot of people quit their jobs, so they can put a lot of effort
in this, as they saw this as the big ideas their big chance their
big, big change in the life.
One venue here even plans to host a club night on the day
Google pays out its ad revenue. In response to concerns that
fake news may have influenced the election. Google and
Facebook recently announced new measures to crack down on sites
like Dimitris but his Google Adsense account is still up. Oh
gloves
are off mainstream against Silicon Valley. Why is
this this let's discuss something here. Which is I got a
note from our economic hitman explaining something that's not
being discussed whatsoever in any of these news stories. One
how why Macedonia? Yes, why are they are they not?
They sound like they're Russian that's for sure.
Why not? Belarus Why not any little country there that people
aren't getting pay? Why Macedonia? Why? Turns out why
Macedonia? Well, it turns out first of all, the Economic
Hitman is the one who wired Macedonia, which he feels kind
of mixed feelings about. Okay, the Macedonian kids, then the
van, the adults, everybody there hates Hillary Clinton, as far as
they're concerned is because of Bill Clinton doing the Bosnia
Serbian bombing the Macedonia's hate Hillary Clinton, and they
did this to do anything they could to keep her from being
elected. Why Macedonia? Why Macedonia? That's the question
that keeps coming up. That's why none of these guys, and these
guys were apparently were in Macedonia, they could have
talked to the kids, why are you doing it? No, they don't do
that. This is shit reporting from NBC, that fake news, fake
news?
Well, just like the Smith Mundt Act was reversed in the 2013
National Defense Authorization Act. We have two bills that have
passed the House and one of them has actually passed the Senate.
But they have to come with together with a a new uniform,
Bill because there's some language differences. And these
are all have all been passed as part of the new 2017 National
Defense Authorization Act. And I think we should discuss them
briefly. As part of the National Defense Authorization Act, we
have the intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2017. I want to do that second because that has a lot of
other things in it that are I think are interesting to us. But
the the bipartisan, countering Disinformation and Propaganda
act is really the one that deserves some scrutiny. Of
course, it's too late to do anything now. According to one
of the sponsors of this bill himself, Rob Portman, he is
Senator for Ohio. Here are the two most I'll read it verbatim
actually. The bipartisan countering disinformation
propaganda act is organized around two main priorities to
help achieve the goal of combating the constantly
evolving threat of foreign disinformation. They are as
follows take note, John, do you have your pen? Yeah. The first
priority is developing a whole of government strategy for
countering foreign propaganda and disinformation. The bill
will increase the authority resources and mandate of the
Global Engagement Center, write that down the Global Engagement
Center, wow, to include state actors like Russia and China, in
addition to violent extremists, the center, which by the way, is
if you ever watched the Americans, whenever the Russians
are calling into home base, that call center, just kind of little
funny little thing there, the center will be led by the State
Department. But with the active senior level participation of
the Department of Defense, USA ID and the Broadcasting Board of
Governors, the intelligence community and the other relevant
agencies. Standby, John, here it comes. The center will develop,
integrate, and synchronize whole of government initiatives to
expose and counter foreign disinformation operations and
proactively advance fact based narratives that support us
allies and interests, which I think is called propaganda. So
and that is proactive.
Yeah, you're gonna have a bank of people sitting there. This
was going on, supposedly, during the these last election from the
Hillary side, where you had banks of people and if you made
a comment on social media, they jump on you a group of them and
say, Oh, no, that's not true. You're just you're just a bio
blah. No, that's not true. You're just you're just a, you
know, a Kremlin carrying water for the Kremlin. It's, they
would do that. And this is just obviously what you're talking
about here is bigger.
Interesting. You bring that up in Section 103 of the
intelligence funding act, and it's on what is called Section
103. Authority for increases, the Director of National
Intelligence may authorize employment of civilian
personnel, civilian personnel, in excess of the number
authorized for fiscal year 2017 by the classified schedule of
authorizations referred to in Section 102. So they are already
saying we're going because of this horrible problem with
Russia, and their propaganda, we are now going to just give
authority to increase to hire more people. More people. Yeah.
Back to the original bill here. A second moisten Important
point. This legislation seeks to leverage expertise from outside
government to create more adaptive and responsive us
strategy options. The legislation establishes a fund
of fun well, we gotta get in on this. Listen, maybe we can do
it. To help train this is just like Europe man to help train
local journalists and provide grants and contracts to
nongovernmental organizations, civil society organizations,
George Soros think tanks, private sector companies, media
organizations, and other experts outside the US government with
experience in identifying and analyzing the latest trends and
foreign government disinformation techniques. This
is us Hello, curry Devora Consulting Group, what are these
people? What are they thinking?
It should have called us I don't get it. But this
fund will complement and support the center's role by integrating
capabilities and expertise available outside the US
government into the strategy making process. It will also
empower a decentralized network of private sector experts and
integrate their expertise into strategy making process. Ah, my
mouth is a good guy. No,
no. How the American public can put up with this. You're reading
that just straight up? Yeah. It's disgusting. Is it is it's
they're trying to manipulate not trying. They're manipulating the
media. I think they've already taken over all the major
broadcast guys, because they're all run by giant corporations.
So you get these lousy reports, like I just said about the
Macedonian thing. They don't bother to tell you any of the
details. They just give you a shallow report. And everybody's
getting drunk at a bar. That's great. It's this is I, I've been
watching NBC, like exclusively for this next few weeks. And
it's just horrible. It's a very just a poor operation. And it's
just designed to keep the people stupid.
Yes, if you're interested in some consulting services, curry
dvorak.com is where you can find all the info about us. Let's go
back to this to the funding of the intelligence agencies. Just
to give you a little idea of what else they're thinking. A
director of national intelligence is also going to
establish guidelines that will help and include exemptions of
personnel levels for a student program, Trainee program,
reserve corps
and a reserve course book.
Yep. Oh, yeah, that sounds great.
They already do this. I mean, half the journalists that are in
working in the big media are working for the CIA that was
exposed in the old Woodward Bernstein, not Woodward. He is
he's
operation monitoring Operation Mockingbird, The Church
Committee. Sure. It does. This is very interesting. Man, how
much of these guys get? Geez.
They keep the numbers pretty private. Yeah, they weigh too
much they
do. But it's the there's authorized to be appropriated
for the intelligence community management account of the
Director of National Intelligence. He gets half a
billion dollars just to divvy out I guess. When we go down. I
marked all this up. You can find it in the show notes that a half
a billion dollars a year? Yeah, just for the Director of
National $500 million a year just to dole out money. Right.
Yeah, for importing large corporations don't have that
kind of cash flow?
Well, of course, we need to spend it on the promotion of
science, technology, engineering and math education in the
intelligence community. Which means there will be an outreach,
a five year investment strategy for outreach and recruiting
efforts in the fields of science, technology, engineering
and mathematics stem to include cybersecurity and computer
literacy. So you know, they go into the colleges, and you go to
universities, which I've always done, but it's nice to see them
just saying it here. Let me just scroll down here we have who?
Yes, the Director of National counterintelligence and security
center, so we're going to have a counterintelligence and Security
Center which will be established, which will be
appointed by the president with the advice and consent of
Senate. So that means there'll be hearings, there will let me
see I go down here this it's a it's like 800 pages this thing
is assistance for governmental entities and private entities in
recognizing online violent extremist content. Not likely,
not later than 180 days after and then consists of the
Director of National talent shall publish on a publicly
available internet website a list of all logos, symbols,
insignia and other markings commonly associated with or
adopted by an organization designated by the Secretary of
State is a foreign terrorist organization.
Logos
I guess Yeah, yeah, that's gonna solve the problem. Yeah. Low
goes they will leave they will put on care I'm sure that hungry
the committee Asian if you're ready to give whatever now we
have some meat potatoes Title Five matters relating to foreign
countries active measures by Russia to exert covert influence
the term active I got oh yes this is interesting committee to
counteractive measures by the Russian Federation to exert
covert influence over peoples and governments they define
active measures means activities intended to influence a person
or government that are carried out in coordination with or at
the behest of political leaders or the security services of the
Russian Federation. And the role of the Russian Federation has
been hidden or not acknowledged publicly, including the
following, establishing or funding group
pull on a second. If you back up and read that again. That's all
they talk about. They just completely bitch and moan about
our tea. Just all the time they had hearings at that woman to
discussing it with in England. And here
they're codifying it and they're laying it out exactly.
But the premises that nobody says anything is bullcrap. They
complain bitterly constantly.
Yeah, well, here's the things that they feel are not being
discussed a establishing or funding of a front group B
COVID. Broadcasting C media manipulation. D disinformation
and forgeries.
Stopstopstop I knew you'd like it. Covert broadcasting is
illegal. Yes. What is covert broadcasting a pirate station
number station
five 717 or D wing, I might
die. I must have a number stagings. I must have a number
33 You're actually pretty good at it.
918 17 Well, eight 622 in the
standby 333 33
Out you go. Okay, so covert broadcasting, media
manipulation, disinformation and forgeries, funding agents of
influence, incitement and offensive counter intelligence,
assassinations and terrorist acts. That's what Russia does.
That's pretty pretty cool. Man. Guys are badass. Okay, now let's
talk about the center real quick. Oh, they're gonna have a
cyber center for oh, they're gonna do a museum. There's money
for a museum I forgot to mention Oh, cool. Yes, the Secretary of
Defense may establish at a publicly accessible location at
Fort Meade, the cyber center for education and innovation home of
the National Cryptologic Museum. Dynamite. It may be used for the
identification, curation, storage and public viewing of
materials related to the activities of the National
Security Agency and the predecessor. The center may
contain meeting, conference and classroom facilities that will
be used to support such education, training, public
outreach and other purposes to their shoot. This is
where the journalists will go to look to have this like the
Newseum museum where they they always have an auditorium,
double auditorium and it has mainly so they can do things in
there while recording me. Exactly.
And then here's here's just one I just caught just, you know,
one of my favorite little biddies, so they put in there,
not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this
act, the Director of National Intelligence cells submit to
congressional Intelligence Committees a workforce plan to
recruit, develop and retain personnel in the intelligence
community with the skills and experience in space and counter
space operations, analysis, collection policy and
acquisition counterspace space to hell is that well, I guess if
you have space
war motors counter space is like in my kitchen, they never have
enough counter space.
That's why I love you, man. Exactly. Exactly.
And then we've got to do some scholarships, fellowships,
internships. Now that hiring is on. And what's this? Yes,
allows like the money's gonna be flowing.
Let me see. And then we have some reporting duties, which I
don't think are that interesting. Now, that's that's
that's the main crux of it. The main crux, so that of course
supports the
Portland Murphy counterpropagating. Oh,
yeah. Well, the goal of all this is to make sure that never never
again in the history of this country do we elected Donald
Trump? That would be pretty much but this is the goal, because
this was just didn't work out well,
but it is also truly about You know, keeping Russia are our
enemy so that, you know we don't solve you can spend money you
can spend money, by the way, I don't know if you caught this.
Mika Brzezinski revealed something very interesting about
the Clinton campaign on the morning, Joe show the other day.
When I I was concerned the campaign was not understanding
that perhaps there was an arrogance that needed to get up
there I worse and understand that this isn't over. I'll just
say it. NBC got a call from the campaign like I had had done
something that was journalistically inappropriate
or something that needed to be pulled off the air. I mean,
think about that. Yeah, that's just messenger. But by the
way, you could there were also people surrounding the campaign
that tried to tell the campaign it was in trouble. Those people
were shut out. And here we are.
And here we are. About that. Have they tried to get her
fired? Yeah.
At least Trump was more open about condemning the media. He
did it in public. Right in follow the Yang get this woman
off the air. Maybe he did bad, there's been no stories like
that. They wouldn't take his call. Alright. Well, we're
talking about getting the you know, the Russians, we have to
keep them as enemies. Let's play this little clip, because this
is the it's kind of a rundown on this clip is called Ukraine,
Russia, eu USA. It's about the gas market. And it's kind of
interesting. Okay, yeah.
Well, back in October 2015, Ukraine stopped buying Russian
gas citing high prices, switching to European gas
instead. Well, that led to a situation where Europe was
actually selling Russian gas to Ukraine. With more than that
Sardis
Miguel Francis Santiago,
gas wars, Europe, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.
Sounds like quite a mess, isn't it? Well, it kinda is. See,
Europe is better off buying Russian gas directly from Russia
instead of Ukraine. Why? Well, because it will be an
uninterrupted transfer. Unlike a few years ago, when Ukraine
siphoned off gas destined for European customers. Now, Ukraine
will also be better off buying gas directly from Russia. But in
2015, the gas supply for Ukraine was cut off when it failed to
pay. Needless to say, Ukraine has backed itself into a very
dark political corner with Russia, however they want to
renegotiate and resume supplies and guess what? Russia is ready
and willing, as well. So how does Ukraine get its gas today?
It gets it directly from the EU that the same Russian gas by the
way through a reverse process that works by allowing Ukraine
to buy the gas at a higher price through basically a reseller,
which in this case, is the EU. Not a very smart way to buy
Russian gas from Russia, isn't it? Now another trend that is
growing now in the gas market, the US with its liquefied gas,
for the first time in 60 years, the US shipped out more natural
gas than it brought in. So why should you care? It means
America wants a byte of the global energy market and a big
one. It's seeking to become an energy superpower. And challenge
Russia in the European market, supplying about a third of the
continents gas demand. Oh,
wait a minute. This is all about gas.
There's a lot of gas going on. And there's a little follow up.
Where's that? Where's it from? Where's this? What news
organization? Is this from?
RT Oh, that's good. Follow up, says you probably fake news
first. Second half here, there's a catch. Catch.
It's very costly to ship us gas to consumers in Europe, while
Russia has a robust pipeline network, and his gas is cheaper.
So the US chances of penetrating the European market boils down
to the willingness of European countries to accept higher
prices. And that has to be a political decision. Now there's
a different story that's gonna
get shoved down the Europeans throats of course. But here's
the way it works. You're saying you're gonna make rush out to be
the big enemy, which we've been doing, and then they're gonna
get sanctions against them. And also, you can't do that. You
can't use their gas. We're sanctioning them. They're
terrible. People buy our gas, which costs more, but don't
worry, it costs more, but you won't be at least you're not
dealing with these horrible Russians. I think by the way,
that the Russian thing is so out of control that they're trying
to shove the bad aspect about Russia bad bad, bad. play this
clip. This is the let's see. Where's this one? This is I just
thought this was hilarious when I saw it. NBC, it's a it's the
NBC leveraged as you know, a huge snowstorm. play that. Okay,
thank you Dylan Dreyer is here watching it for us. This is the
dreaded Siberian Express. What's it looking like?
We can become the Siberian Express So this horrible storm
that wasn't a usted they had different names for this
northern thing that came down. But now it's the
Siberian Siberian Express. Dylan dryer is here watching it for
us. This is the dreaded Siberian Express. What's it looking like?
That's a reference to people being shipped off to Siberia to
die and workcamps
just a lot of good things to go through your brain, the Siberian
Express. It's all bad,
man. Hey, well, you're gonna see some, some Millennials heads
exploding pretty soon. Yeah. The White House. There's a there's a
couple of bills moving through the houses again. And the White
House is saying yeah, no, we're pretty much on board that women
should now register for selective service. Yeah. And,
yeah, it's very funny. Unless you unless you got daughters.
Yeah, well, so far it goes,
but Well, I think it's actually going to get in there. I think
they'll put it in and well, they
have to if they're gonna go the way they're going. I mean, this
is because of that. That dipshit who's the head of the defense
defense department guy? Droopy dog? What's his name? Carter?
Ash, Ash Carter ash. Ash Carter. Yeah, Ash Carter. Yeah, I got a
marine crypto, this has been going on on PBS and elsewhere,
brainwashing the public about women in combat. And how as good
as bad as a debatable they they're trying
to make us that's why this is in play. Because this is now being
the law is being written. So it makes sense that they have a
piece about this.
And so they had a piece about it, they gets kind of starts off
negative. I don't have the whole clip here. I don't want it. But
it's, it's it's it's about the Marines in particular, because
the Marines are the ones who resisted this. And this is the
clip is called Women in Marines.
We first caught up with Rebecca wolf earlier this summer back
home in rural Maryland. At the time she was living with her
parents. Her mom and dad didn't like it that she was joining the
Marine Corps. But they were not surprised. From an early age.
Rebecca wanted to break the traditional girl mold.
When she was young. She said she's always going to drive
motorcycles, drink beer, smoke cigarettes and get tattoos.
I can remember her telling me that oh my goodness. How do you
feel about the idea that your daughter might end up in a
combat unit? Maybe on the frontline somewhere?
I don't think any parent wants their kid boy or girl to go to
combat? I surely don't. I feel that they shouldn't be on the
front lines.
I don't know that she fully understands what she's getting
into there too. Sometimes. I don't mean we explain. She's
like, well, I'll be able to shoot helicopters. Well, they do
shoot back. I don't know that she comprehends.
Turns out the Marine Corps didn't want women in certain
combat jobs either. In 2013, the Secretary of Defense ordered
that all combat positions be open to women. But after a
period of deliberations the Marines asked for an exemption.
They argued that putting women into the infantry into other
combat jobs would make the Marine Corps a less effective
fighting force is this contract that we have with each other
General Robert Neller is the Commandant of the Marine Corps,
the highest uniformed officer, he says the Corps resistance
came from a test the Marines ran back in 2014. It took all male
units and units that mixed men and women and then compare their
performances in a series of combat drills. And then we
ran them through a very physically demanding test. I
mean, it was it was hard. And there was data in there that
showed in the aggregate that in certain things mostly in load
bearing and the most physically demanding tasks that the teams
that had females integrated in them did not perform at the same
level as the all male team.
The results showed that male only teams moved faster,
especially with heavy loads. They fired at the enemy more
often hit their targets more often. And evacuated casualties,
faster, integrated units with men and women also suffered more
injuries.
And then they just proved it by saying, Well, these guys evolved
men team was just a bunch of arrows and the other ones were
half amateurs. They went on this report goes on and on. And
almost every day they're pushing this idea, but the thing that
bothers me the most was the early comment, where they asked
the Dad, do they want her daughter or his daughter in
combat in a combat unit on the front lines? Yeah. And the first
thing I thought about are we at War was the last time we
declared war where there were front lines or their front lines
anywhere. Yeah. Did somebody be there shooting? Yes. We're not
even supposed to be in these. Oh,
yeah, we're not supposed to be but we're there. We just dropped
another 1500 in this area. 1500.
Congress wants to, you know, express itself a little more
strongly. What these are illegal wars. We're not supposed to be
in these wars in front lines
of terrorism,
bright lines, bright lines, we're gonna front lines. It's
not World War Two. Anyway, I just found it just slightly
disturbing well making this assumption that, you know, we
need women and men who are just so bad that we need women. Well,
we have to have women because for more fair, well, you pass
the Equal Rights Amendment and then I say, Okay, fine. Now you
can get your women in there. All right. That's never been passed,
by the way.
I know. I know. No way. But I don't You don't talk about that
on Facebook because you get into arguments.
I don't have a Facebook account, you know.
But here is something interesting that came from and
professor of
these days, you're gonna see that I was wise.
I listened. If I could get off Facebook. I would I'm doing it
for the show.
Yes, that's good. That's somebody,
Professor of Economics University of Tampa. America
risks losing the war on terror in Afghanistan unless it
legalizes the opium trade. I think this is just the beginning
of something we're going to start hearing about.
Wow, we needed clip for that. Yeah,
well, it'll become an according to a recently released report by
the Afghan Ministry of Counter Narcotics and the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime. We always read these guys. opium
production Afghanistan has risen by 43%. In the last year, the
country's drug trade employs some two point million people
12% of the Afghan population and generates approximately $68
billion in revenue a year. The US government has spent some 12
billion in eradication efforts more than four times the size of
the entire pre-invasion economy. Yet Afghanistan now supplies
around 90% of the world's opium. So what is wrong with with?
I'm seeing here, what's wrong with these numbers? Something is
very strange. Yeah, the 12 billion is obviously being spent
on something else. Like it goes into your pockets
possibly or or someone else's blog marketing, marketing,
marketing, advertising.
When eradication you got soldiers standing in these
fields, why aren't they at least burning the place down now?
Yeah, well, all military knows that we're there protecting the
poppies. We know that we all know that. We all know it. No, I
haven't yet. Yeah. Let's do one more before we take a break. You
got one more. One more.
I gotta go. I got these students a two parter. But I just thought
it was interesting because people say, oh, you know, you
guys are I got an anti Trump couple of things. This guy
Cohen. C O H A, and he's a writer. And he wrote a book on
Goldman Sachs. And he had some very funny, interesting
observations. I don't know whether it's good or bad about
Trump and this is calling on Trump Part One
suggest they can further Donald Trump's populist ambition that
is serving the people who elected him.
I'm laughing because Steve Minuchin and Wilbur Ross are
about as far from populism as you can possibly imagine. They
are. The point oh, 1% of the 1%. And one of the biggest ironies
of the fact that he surrounded himself with all these Goldman
Sachs people is that Goldman said he was on the Goldman Sachs
do not fly list. This is the kind of client we do not want at
Goldman Sachs.
How do you know that?
Because I wrote a book about Goldman Sachs. And I know that
from talking to people at Goldman Sachs, that he is the
poster child for the kind of client, they don't want to do
business with, mainly because he had borrowed all this money from
Wall Street to build his casinos and then didn't pay it back.
One big bank that did lend to Trump in recent years was
Deutsche Bank in 2005. To build the Trump International Hotel
and Tower in Chicago, Steve Minuchin, his hedge fund also
lent money to the project. In 2008, at the height of the
financial crisis, a big payment came due.
We're talking $330 million payment that was due he just
decided didn't want to pay it. He sued Deutsche Bank, as well
as all the other lenders, including Steve minutiae, Ins
doing capital, claiming that he didn't have to pay the money
back because an act of God had occurred, this financial crisis
caused by the very people who lent him the money for this
project, and therefore he didn't have to pay it back. So the one
firm on Wall Street that would do business with him. He turns
around and Sue's
I think when we do these kinds of clips, we have to use the
jingle. He's Trump. He's Trump.
The President didn't
Excellent yeah. Now A couple of things about that clip that it
was obviously in the contract is called force majeure, I think is
I don't have exact
force majeure, which means a form usually force of God force
of nature beyond anyone's control.
Right? We have that in our speakers contract when I give
speeches. Of course ever Oh, yeah, you you try to put in very
few contracts have it in if it's a dummy contract, if you have
your own contract did you put that in it is important. It
literally means for a storm or something you can't get into
this be you know, the thing they want their money back now,
they're not going to get an
overwhelming force, which can also be an act of God.
Yes. So that's so I thought Trump did pull a good one there.
Um, now he's been putting other projects since then. It's not as
though nobody ever gives them any money. So I think this kind
of a kind of a bullshit. And by the way, I say I use a couple of
swear words today. And I want to talk about that, because we need
someone to edit this show because the station in Chicago
wants to run with Brian once the broadcast us again. Anyway, you
don't get to that later. So I All he's doing is what you do.
And we've had a letter from other contract one other
contractor in Manhattan, who says this is the way you do
business. And that's just the way it is. Yeah, and trumped it.
So I don't think that's a bad thing. Part two of the clip,
it's probably more of a bad thing than the screw in the bank
side of their money.
Kohan worked on Wall Street for 17 years, and has been writing
about it ever since. In best sellers, like the last tycoons
House of Cards, and that book on Goldman Sachs, money and power.
He's interviewed Donald Trump for magazine articles. What was
he like to interview?
Very charming, very funny. He wants, you know, told me I had a
great head of hair like him. By the way. One thing that I talked
to him about was how everybody on Wall Street had told me that
he cheats at golf. So you asked him, I said, Of course I asked
him, did you cheat at golf? And he said, No, you might own
cheated golf. I'm a scratch golfer. And of course, I have
all these country clubs that I own. Why would I cheated golf?
You didn't believe him? No, I didn't believe him. Because
subsequent to that, a friend of mine was playing with him in a
foursome that day and saw him cheated golf shank the ball off
to the right now, you know, and then he sort of parade up the
middle of the fairway with his caddy. 20 feet behind him and
then saying, Oh, Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump your ball. I found it.
It's right here in the middle of the fairway when you're
surrounded by Yes, men.
I think that is probably the best insult I've heard. You
know, when someone accuses you of lot of cheating at golf. That
is like the that's the lowest of the low, isn't it? That's like
really pretty bad. Yeah, bad. That is bad. You know,
the funny thing is, I believe, yeah,
possibly. Well, I think we have a new segment, John. He's Trump.
He's Trump. The President didn't. I'm liking that. Dang go
ghosts. Cecil Rogers Rodriguez, man. Great job.
Yeah, keep that one right at the ready.
I really, really liked that. Hey, let's keep it on track for
today's show. Let's go.
I'm going to show my son moved by Joanie didn't know agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
All right. Now we have an interesting situation here with
Sir Richard Moffitt who donated $101.05 He's in Milwaukee is are
one of our normal good regulars. But he also later in the
donation lives he's at 5510. Okay, so he sent a note in these
with these two separate checks. One for $101.05 one for 55 w
goes on the dime. And so that adds up to what 150 156 6510 No
six 1505 156 20 Now, we're getting 20 10105 and 5510 is is
156 15.
You got it 156 15 That's what I said.
Okay, yeah, exactly. So he's says note in my donation of 5510
is obviously pronounced dot dot dot. Then my other donation
pronounced dot dot dot question mark. Sincerely, Richard Moffat.
Okay, hold on, so is Oh, gosh. What kind of test is this one? I
want
no idea. I do believe it. You can spend time on this. I have
no idea what he's talking about. And
what does he have 5510 I don't know what it is
double nickels on the dime, which is that's pronounced that
way. This is a one on one. I don't know what this
is. I have no idea what it's
okay. He's baffled it. So stumpings dump the whatever
stumped the host
Big Time as usual. Anyway just was wondering
why Andrew Drake 8888 We got three of these 8888 sec eight
people nice Adams sell me some non GMO seeds keep up the
actually we saw obviously saw you on the segment show you've
heard me say I want to sell some seeds, didn't you?
You didn't hear that? No.
Oh my god, that was anything without using a longer clip.
Okay, so what do you have the Dakota Territory Sioux Falls at
88 back to Episode One what a lot. Wow, what a long strange
trip. It's been through thick and thin. We've I've loved it
all.
Karma episode one listener,
you've got karma.
Like, I don't recommend people going back that far anymore. No,
Sir Brian Navarro. Ada is in Los Angeles. He should be at the

Los Angeles in Beverly Hills. Michael Bradbery 808. And that's
boob and that was the picture of Hayden in the newsletter.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I was completely enthralled in
something else.
Okay, so boop.
There you go. That's why That's what I meant to do. Yeah, for

Yep, finally got a job thanks for the karma and then he says
we Shannon Atkins in Warren Michigan he says appears of Adam
on Fridays Alex Jones Show for the win sure Adam of the Koch
Empire
Yeah, he was the one that had the problem he figured out why
his his title wasn't coming through in the donations
sharanam of the Koch Empire Yeah, yeah, it was just his his
name but not yes, he's title because it was a recurring
donation.
So let me mention something people who'd have recurring
donations that come with this not a check is it No,
no Pay Pal?
Okay, it's okay to pay pal never lunch checks when you have these
recurrent checks like Sir got Nate is one of them. He has as
his note because you can put a note is like a note and it goes
across the top of the check. Right and it says sir, got Nate
across the top of the chat. And that makes it very easy to get
incorrect. So I think there's another couple of people that do
that.
And we encourage people to jot checks because it saves
everybody money and hassle. Well, except you
great especially those recurrent why you got to stay calm and put
him bring them to the bank but it saves the I would say is a
good amount of money and yes gives me something to do.
Get you out of the house.
Yeah, it gets me out of the house.
By the way, by the way. I'm gonna have to say that I've
compared now your pen just triggered me because you were

We have a make good from show 82 This is from Phil. Row dot
kanakas Sir forensicator My knighthood back in March of this
year, I thought I would skate for a while. But now John is
complaining about producers having fallen overboard. So I
felt compelled to make another donation to the greatest podcast
and universe. Your coverage throughout the election was
fantastic. And the shows continue getting better and
better when you relate the negative feedback you receive at
times from other listeners, I can't help but wonder whether
these people are listening to the same show or just getting a
kick out of being negative? No, they live in a different
reality. It doesn't mean it's wrong. Thanks for your hard work
and the many hours of your enjoyment of enjoyment you
offers weekly sir forensicator Since my donation wasn't
mentioned, I think he gave us $300 John, it was yeah,
we'll put him on today. He'll be accepted at executive show a
five Yeah, but he says now do I get to be a black executive
producer? That unless you're black.
Okay, so that is a no but we will play for him. He wants to
fear his freedom and don't be a denier. So we'll do that. And
thank you everyone, for supporting our show. It is the
value for value model. You're getting some value you're
showing it to us and we'll continue to work as hard as we
can for you. Also, of course, thanks everybody who came in

played a climate glade Glick late climate global climate
accord. I have a quick climate glade clip, Chris Cuomo. Now I
asked you just so I'm clear, what is the agreed to percentage
of scientists who agree with the consensus? That 797? That's what
I believe as well.
Yeah, we have documentation to say it's 97. Of course, we also
have a long exposition on why is 97 and is and how that's a bogus
number to begin with. Right.
But that's not what people believe in the other dimension.
The counter question on the counter podcast dimension. So if
I had to, is it 97% 99% or 90%? You choose 9797 is
the right number, but now they're starting to say 99. Do
you accept the
science? Or you don't know?
That's not what he's saying? He's saying that the new he says
nuance where you see black and white that it's either 99%
of the scientific community says global warming. 90% Do you hear
that? Lady again,
this is Chris Cuomo. And I guess he's he's probably talking about
the EPA pic. And he says 99 But then the woman from CNN says no,
CNN says 91 I never heard the 90 No, yeah, yeah. Listen,
when did that happen? Let's say
you accept the science, or you don't know. That's not what he's
saying. He's saying that the new he says nuance where you see
black and white that it's either 99%
of the scientific community says global warming.
90%. But here's the deal.
90%. Okay, wow. For 99
is not even 90. It used to be 97% of science of climate
scientists who wrote about the topic. Well, yeah, we got seeing
it in specific. Say that 90s They came in 97% of those people
that that already wrote about it saying it's I guess
what I'm telling him, I guess what I'm pointing out is that
even when they make up a fake number, they can't even they
can't even stick to it. And 90% That's never been in play.
But it's but now it's not that What what's weird to me is is
99% of these scientific community, which I consider
myself a part of.
Absolutely. From his professional Dirac Are you
kidding me? Anyone who disputes that I shall chop their head
off.
It's unbelievable. It my daughter asked me the other day,
she listens to the show now. Oh, but she does the dog walker. So
she's got something to listen to, which is walking dogs. And
which apparently pays more than half the minimum wage jobs
around here. And she so she listens to the show. And she
kind of I'm driving or someplace and she says, so what is this
thing? You and Adam and climate and the climate? And I had the
reader. I just told her the whole background. So while we
were skeptical for me, I told her why. And I don't think a lot
of people realize what why we're skeptical. First of all to start
with Cap and Trade. You know, it's such a big important thing.
Why are we doing cap and trade, that means nothing changes. It's
like a balancing act. So that's bull crap, a climate gate that
the phony emails that came out that the fact that Donald Trump
and every report is confident, high confidence, low conflict,
pretty calm. What
happened? Right and what happened to the old hockey
stick? Yeah, she doesn't remember the hockey stick when
you remember the hockey stick. And it wasn't. I also said to
her, I just went on and on. I said to her and then the whole
thing you have to realize is based on computer models, which
are notoriously wrong. Lousy, wrong. Yeah. They're notorious.
You can't use a computer mind.
Remember, the kids in England would never see snow again,
except inside of snow globe.
Right. Yeah, it was a good one. And then there's the mudflats
over here. I mentioned they would this has been going on I
have a map from 1880 that somebody has something to say
mudflats are their doors, this rising tides that are wiping out
the Marianas or whatever islands are going away when I went
when Jay comes over with a friend. Do you notice that
they're tiptoeing past so it's not to alert you that they're
there is that? Don't say it's my crazy dad to mudflats. I always
just I got in trouble. I got in trouble for Aquaman by the way,
I want to tell you about it.
And I want to say I know the story. And I want to say because
it was brought up at the dinner. So I want to say that, you know
also is that this, this closing off the debate. Oh 99% of all
scientists bullcrap. And these are lies. It's a lie. It's a
lie. It's not 99% of all scientists. So why are these
lies and deceit and the closing off the debate and saying it's
concluded we're Done. This, to me strikes me as fishy.
Well, this clip continues. And in 30 seconds, this Cuomo douche
will tell you that if you deny climate change with manmade
climate change, you are a racist. I've been waiting for
this. I've been waiting to figure out how to do that. Here
it is
global warming
90%. But here's the deal. Republicans, a lot of
Republicans and certainly something like 30% of voters and
they voted for Trump. I agree with him. And they think that in
terms of the predictions and the forecasts, this is where it
comes in. That it's far from settled. The predictions and the
forecasts thought
the world was flat. Yes,
thought blacks and whites should marry people thought Black
shouldn't be equal. That doesn't mean
that you accept that as fact, as a leader. People thought
that the Antarctic ice would be gone by now it increased in
2014.
Hey, go un real quick from denying climate. I'm surprised
you didn't put the Holocaust in there.
Yeah, well, this is again, fishy to me. And, yeah, if you were
fight, it's like shoveling. You know, it's like it's like peeing
into the wind. I mean, you just this is nothing but an uphill
battle for anyone who publicly is a skeptic. Yes, that's us.
It's a very hard thing. And people still everyone's Well, we
still get some new I don't get you guys about you don't get the
climate thing. It's like your your knowledge is settled. It's
settled. It's settled. It's a computer model. Yeah.
Well, so here's something I don't get. And I'm glad it came
up at the dinner table. I'm happy to understand what what
happened here. On the face bag, a buzzkill Jr's wife, Jessie.
She posted, oh, you know, this kid's kicking inside of me and
she'll be at the meet up. Kids kicking inside me. And I here's
what I posted. I meant it very well. Of course, I said I was
always envious that my daughter and her mom had such an intimate
relationship for months ahead of meeting her. And I meant that
really well. I kind of meant like, Wow, it's so special. You
have a human growing inside of you. First comment from someone
named Teresa. Um, yeah, I suppose that's one way of
looking at it. Second comment from Mimi. Yeah, aliens punching
internal organs just doesn't have the same romantic ring when
it's your organs. And, and then I posted the G's last time I
throw it throughout a compassionate comment about this
topic. And then the next comment is yeah, probably better. Like
holy crap. No, how did I go? I meant this is a nice thing.
Yeah,
yeah. I when I heard this story, which is pretty much exactly the
way it was discussed. You didn't change it? I said, I said black
mold. That's
my stupid that I do something dumb. I guess I was
a little bit why? It's just a little bit mushy. It was the
black mold. And yet, don't worry about it. It's fine. You're just
gonna eventually become a gun toting liberal. Well,
enjoy your roadshow. Then with all the speeches you'll be doing
to pay the rent.
Wow, it hasn't happened yet. But I see it going there.
Oh, Brutus. Wow. Yeah. Hey, okay. I'm sorry to have to play
two separate clips from him because it's a little much
way. You're not talking about you know, you play John Kerry
clip? Oh, no,
no, no. No, I have to say another Tucker clip, actually.
Oh, that's okay. You know, I'm just I'm beginning that I don't
watch it. You're now it's your beat. I mean, I see him once in
a while, Nick, on a, you know, a clip thing. He goes over to
Twitter. But I think it's great. I think you're right, the guy
has actually become worth listening to his geezer he's
combative.
The the context of this is Bill was an HR six, I think 21st
Century Cures Act. That's the backdrop and not that I
understand all the nuances, because this is all the stuff
that was put into the Affordable Care Act, AKA Obamacare. And it
regarding testing of medical devices, there's a whole bunch
of stuff in there generics, the pricing of generics. So there's
a lot going on. And this actually already this has
already passed the House, I guess so I don't know where it
is. But he had on the poster child of Big Pharma assholes.
Martin Shkreli Shkreli. the crazy guy crazy guy who our
favorite Hold on, stop, step back. The mofo makes sense? And
he's really Yes. I remember I said something about this guy. I
don't know what's going on. But somewhere there's something
underneath that I think is good. And this is about orphan. Orphan
pharmaceuticals, orphan drugs. And then actually I was, you
know, Obama Biden, after the divorce doesn't talk to me
anymore. But I know a guy who was doing an orphan drug
company, and he raised like $20 million. And there's maybe only
700 people in the world who have this particular ailment, but
it's life saving for them. And in his case, he made that, you
know, he, he, I mean, I guess the formula is known, but no
drug company wants to touch it, because just not worth it for
him. So of course, you make the drug and then has to be
reasonably expensive, but people stay alive. It's a business. So
this guy now we understand Skrill his business model we'll
get into it is the orphan drug trade. Check it out,
you're at the bottom of immediate dogpile, a hate fest,
it was like that short story, the lottery, you are being
stoned by the crowd. So I'm sympathetic to that. However, I
have to say in cases like yours, and in your specifically where
you have someone who takes a product he did not create, added
no apparent value to it. And then Jacks the price up. It does
seem like kind of a parasite move.
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's interesting, these big drug
companies, they don't look at these drugs any more fondly than
you look at your the shoes in your closet, the young worn five
years, and you ready to throw away their old medicines that
nobody cares about anymore, and they get passed around from
company to company to company looking for a home for tender
loving care. The reason they get passed around is because they're
not Viagra, they're not Lipitor, they're not big sellers, they
sell almost nothing, and it costs millions dollars to make a
medicine, even to make it for one drug I bought, the company
stopped making it because it wasn't worth it to them. Right
in the 300 patients that needed this drug to survive. They
didn't have anybody that actually wanted to make the pill
for them just stamp out a pill. And so we bought that drug, we
raised it 20 fold, there was no media celebrity, there was no
nobody knew who I was that day, the day before the day after, it
was only after I've done this about six times. And each time
the patients thanked me for doing it. Because they say I'd
rather have someone make a few dollars and make my pills
reliably. Maybe continue research in the field, give
grants out, do the things that you need to do to be a drug
company. Because when I have this rare disease, only a few
100 People have my illness, right? It's I don't have the
numbers of erectile dysfunction or clustering, I
get that but if you raise it 5,000% It seems a bit like a
hostage situation, it's
still barely profitable. And if you look at the the amount of
people that have this illness, and you add it all up, there are
orphan drugs that are half a million a year, every year
forever. You got to pay drug $25 million to survive. That's a
hostage situation. Our pills $25,000 If you take it for the
amount of time you're supposed to take it that's pretty
comparable or even a lot less than most of the drugs kind so I
looked at it and said you know, I don't I don't listen to the
media. I don't listen to politicians. I listen to
rationality and logic and I'm gonna price this drug where it
belongs not where somebody tells me to not where it's gonna look
bad or right make me look good. And I'm gonna serve these
patients
to where was this guy all that time? He's the guy is actually
making some sense.
I could have been set up to not that is that that was Corelli.
That's Grilli. I have two more short clips following up on
this. And this is the leads into the price gouging of the
pharmaceuticals. He's actually turning into quite a poster
child for it, you know, the real evil and it's very it's mind
bending this so you
like Trump? I think sure seem to on Twitter and But Trump is
making a counter case really kind of against yours. He did
with Boeing the other day, he said, You know what, we wanted
to make money, but we don't want to make too much money.
Yeah, and I don't want to make too much money either. You know,
the Turing is a company that's across the street from here
literally catty corner. Its profit margins are very thin.
Pfizer raises the drug price of Viagra 13% last year 13%
You're supposed to raise prices? Not to brag, but I wouldn't
know. Yeah.
You're supposed to raise prices in line with inflation to combat
you know, inflationary forces. That's why your salary maybe
your salary goes up 10% a year but most people's salaries goes
up one or 2% a year because it's supposed to keep pace with
inflation. It doesn't make sense to me that Pfizer who's going to
make what 10 $20 billion this year needs to raise the price of
Viagra 10%. I've got 100 People catty corner from here barely
making ends meet. We were trying to make new drugs for rare
diseases. We need the money. Boeing doesn't need the money.
Pfizer doesn't mean the money I started trading two years ago,
and we're doing groundbreaking research and five or six
different diseases and I think it's okay for us to make a small
profit. That
just really, really interested me how, what he was saying here
and here it is finally the generics. This is going to be
big. Depending on how legislation goes
I think what Trump wants to do is pretty smart. You know, he he
understands that pharma companies have been getting away
with quite a quite a nice gig, raising drug prices. And I think
what he wants to do is encourage FDA to approve generics more
more quickly, yes. And he FDA is on a very bad job of that. And I
think that if he can figure that out, and I think he will, he's,
he seems to be on top of things. There'll be a lot more
competition in the drug marketplace, and
that undercut your business. Sure.
But you know, I, part of being a business person is taking
advantage of the playing field, like a football game. And if
they're throwing a blitz, I'm gonna I'm gonna pass and vice
versa. And, you know, the situation in the playfield was
set up the way it was when I started my company. Yep. And I'm
not permanently going to I do drug research, if they're gonna
incentivize that. That would help me so, you know, depends on
the situation.
There you go. Martin Shkreli. The nutjob?
Well, I don't know the whole thing seems fishy. Because he
was playing a different role or so I'm pretty sure I'm not sure.
The one thing that mentioned here and the generics thing,
which is a nice sounds good on paper, but it reminds me of the
Provigil maker who didn't also want generic Provigil, the pills
don't have the effects of of amphetamines. They go goes
generic, and then the company that made it bought the company
that makes the generic Yeah, so they keep the price the same
that that is that's in that bill that I was talking about.
There's specific language regarding pharmaceuticals who by
who own the generics so there's they will not be able to price
it the way they want it.
Well, that's, that's a bit. That's a little bit of I think,
from a pure capitalistic perspective, a little bit of
over regulation. I agree. I'm just saying these guys are
acting like a bunch of douche bags anyway, you need something
that they happen. All right.
You want to hear the views take on on what was gonna happen with
the with our health care?
Oh, God, come
on, come on. Shorty, it's a shorty, it's
gonna get a little more attention when people start
opening their envelopes and seeing those letters about their
insurance dropping,
because for some reason, they believe that the minute Trump is
president, then everyone's health care stops. And then
she's talking about oh, people are getting on board. They're
already getting envelopes. She's saying it just, you know, Trump
is the president elect, and they're already getting
envelopes. That your insurance is being cancelled,
it's gonna get a little more attention when people start
opening their envelopes and seeing those letters about their
insurance dropping that yeah, because they're losing their
what we call Obamacare, and boy is that I just had a friend who
got this. And she has she has her kid and doctor sent a note
saying, Oh, we're not going to be able to cover you anymore. So
sorry. And she said, Well, I've got a little money I can I can
do this. And they will like, No, you have to sort of get this
kind of coverage coming she can't afford. So this is going
to be really interesting. I can't wait till people start
sending you their letters and tweets about that. period now
hits a fan very shortly.
Well is hitting the fact that people are starting to get it.
People are starting to get those those emails and letters saying
oh, by the way, you know, we're not going to be taking care of
this anymore, because we basically don't happen. And then
she said something and I don't know. I don't know about so I'm
gonna ask you though that's clear. She said she thought she
had read that they were losing the head of household deduction,
taxes on tax deduction, IRS. I don't know. So we have to look
that up. Because she said she wasn't rather that scared her.
Yeah. I was talking to
her. It's good.
Women don't know what they're talking about almost the benefit
for
ripples of hope
it's called and there was so many smart people there and one
smart person said
one smart person, what's your name where the smart people are
Joy Bay har, so many smart people
hope it's called and there was so many smart people there and
one smart person said
probably he was probably black. That's her version of the racism
smart. He was very smart.
That they think that what's gonna really happen is the
Republicans are going to turn on him because he's against big
business a lot and they don't like that and other things that
he's doing. They're not going to be happy with him and he has
enemies in the Republican Party. And Pence will eventually start
doing the presidency. What do you think about that? I
mean, it was just a guess. Watch your uterus that's all I'm
saying.
Yay. Go watch your uterus what she is obsessed with her vagina.
Apparently obsessed until you get out
of my time box your uterus I
mean, she's obsessed.
Yes, she's brought this up more than a few times I'll say all
right, well, I got something here that I think because people
listen to this show. They need occasional tips yes give them
tips everyone's about this is a tip. I think that people because
I went to this website, and I have to say it's kind of
interesting. Luckily, my I don't have this problem is about the
airbag recall. And I luckily my 23 year old Lexus, which airbag
probably just opens by At least is not a bad one. But listen to
this is a good this is a good tip is the airbag recall tip.
Now you're sure this is just the tip nothing more because you
promise just the tip.
It's just a tip bled all over my shirt, and I thought I was going
to lead to death.
Tonight the airbag maker Takata tells NBC News, it has ramped up
production and capacity of airbag replacement kits to meet
demand. To find out if your airbag is under recall your
vehicle under recall, find your vehicle identification number
right there on the dashboard, then go to
safercar.gov safercar.gov type that in the recall should show
up on your priority numbers should also appear.
And safercar.gov is an entertaining site, it probably
costs $100 million to develop. But it's actually it's worth
going to I would recommend everyone. Thank you another tip.
Less than two minutes to go. Okay,
Nigel 10 minute warning, John.
I have a clip. Yes, go. I have a clip that I've been stalling.
I've been putting it off. And it's it's a clip about something
that's not reported. Guy just just John Pilcher guy wrote a
book about this as not being reported. But when he outlines
what we're what he's going to talk about here, it becomes
pretty apparent and we've kind of talked about this on the
show. But who was John Pilcher? He's a writer that you know,
that is researches, our policies toward China and elsewhere.
Right. And this is actually quite interesting to up
on. He's actually in returns. He discussed this with award
winning journalist and filmmaker John Pilcher while they were
talking about his new film the coming war on China.
There are 400 US bases in circling China. They start in
Australia, they go through the Pacific, they go up through
Japan, Korea, across Eurasia. It's like a giant noose around
China, missiles, warships, low draft warships, which can
approach China just outside Chinese waters. The provocation
of China that has gone on in the last five, six years has been
extreme. It is extraordinary. It's not only a blockade, it's a
blackout. Apart from you and I are discussing it. And here and
there in the media. The blackout of the situation around China
has been has been almost totaled the news, the perception that
we're given where we're not allowed to know these important
and, and very disturbing events, do you have the biggest buildup
of US air and naval forces since the Second World War? That's an
extraordinary story that has simply been suppressed, but
another black half has been on the biggest military exercise in
living memory. And that was Operation talisman, sabre, which
the US last year 2015, the US led and in which they rehearsed
the blockade of the Straits of Malacca, through which come 80%
of China's oil, its resources, its much of its trade, and so
on. So this this constant provocation is really what that
rather and not this term pivot to Asia that Obama announced in
2011 really made
holy crap. I remember when that Malaysian Air flight went down,
and and all of a sudden, we had our warships in the Straits of
Malacca. Yeah, that was around the same time that he's talking
about. Yeah. Oh, man. We nailed it.
Well, now that but this also refers back to the front line
story with the marine woman who joins the Marines. And we're
talking about front lines and front lines combat. I mean, why
are we gearing up to do what are we going to do with China here?
This is ridiculous.
I don't know. But we better be friends with the Russians. You
don't want the Russians being friends with the Chinese if
we're being
that's actually an old thesis is to keep those two from ganging
up. Yeah. Then you get then you got problems.
My goodness.
They share a common border and seem to be in dispute
constantly. I'm just gonna put my hands over my ears. La La,
la, la, la. Very,
very, very disappointing. All of this. Very, very, very, I can't
tell you how disappointing liven things up. But that clip, yeah.
Thanks.
All right. I have I have a clip here. Two clips, and then I'm
done. First, this is Fareed Zakaria. He's pontificating on
President Obama's big Homeland Security speech about how we're
doing. And all of a sudden, people are able to put things
into perspective, the way it's never done before the big
differences. I think that in that speech yesterday, Obama
emphasizes really important to put ISIS and Ted Tourism in
context, it is not an existential threat to the United
States. The number of people it has been able to kill over the
last decade has been trivial. He often points out more Americans
drown in their bathtubs every year than are killed by
international terrorists. And so don't overreact. don't shred the
Constitution, don't sacrifice civil liberties, because this is
a manageable threat. That piece, I think he had Trump. You know,
he's Mr. Under reaction. And Trump as Mr. overreach.
I mean, for eight years, we've been terrorized by our own
government about terrorists. nuggets for 1516 years. We've
been taking our shoes off. I mean, are you kidding me? And
now all just put it into perspective. More people die in
the bathtub. More people now die from heroin than from guns. By
the way, yeah. And that's point number, that best point of
Thursday's show was the real gateway is oxy as a great point,
John, great point.
Anyway, it's a gateway drug kind
of, to wrap up the, the anger and the other dimension that
we've discussed. Here is the Progressive Caucus. It's a
compilation, the Progressive Caucus, and you will hear in
order of appearance, let me see. Huffman from California DeLauro,
from Connecticut, to kowski, from Illinois, and my favorite,
Sheila Jackson Lee from Texas. Here's what they think and what
they're going to do about Trump
with only a few exceptions. The individuals that President elect
Trump has appointed is the greatest collection of stooges
and cronies and misfits we have ever seen in a presidential
administration. Some of these folks only qualifications for
the job that they are being appointed for, is that they have
attempted to dismantle and undermine and destroy the very
agencies that they are now hoping to run.
Like we cannot as we are not doing disappoint you we cannot
sit back. We need to stay. Have
you ever seen this woman DeLauro from Connecticut?
I don't know maybe, like ever seen her?
Yeah, she looks like a middle age, social justice warrior.
I probably seen her.
I mean, if I had to have dinner with her, I just want to punch
her.
That's not nice.
It's not nice at all. It's why I don't go out anymore
thing to run. Like we
cannot as we are not doing this one. We cannot sit back. We need
to stand up for the millions of children, for working families.
And for the seniors who are going to be personally harmed by
these irresponsible appointments. It is not just a
responsibility, but it is a moral responsibility that we
stand up and fight. And that's what the Progressive Caucus is
intending to do. So Donald Trump
has been, as it has been mentioned, has already been
breaking his campaign promises and rather than draining the
swamp, he is now filling it up with hungry crocodiles.
So Trump cease and desist and begin to solicit people that
will in fact reflect the laws of this nation. There you go. Geez,
now, by now four star generals are like these. Okay, the way
they see it Hey,
shut up, slave.
Very, very disappointing.
Shut up, slave. Exactly.
All right. You had the 10 minute warning you can wrap it up if
you wish, sir.
Well, let's see I had the good clip there. I have a funny clip
that Scott lepo is interesting because it's finally caving in
and then we don't know what to do about it. I have some clips I
can play on Thursday. There's a there's a crazy report on Okay,
here's one this will be a good way to finish it up. This is the
stupidity of the Portland City Council which now well the
report says it all but I will I will mention in advance that
I've done some research on on the city the various cities as I
was researching some Can't you know there's no real reason I
was doing this but I was looking at all the cities and how broke
they are not broken the this has to do with the bond collapse I'm
looking into what kind of city is not going to make it through
there are three cities maybe more but there's three I know of
that are literally broke completely broke right now there
if you they can't balance the books with or without the the
funded liabilities for pensions with or without
this is what we talked about as possibly triggering the bond
market collapse.
Yeah, the bond market collapse which will take place in June or
July of this year. Probably write it down and and and when
it was so these cities without it, even counting this the
unfunded liabilities Flint, Michigan, Detroit, and Portland,
Oregon. They're broke. But here's what they're going to do.
This is a very smart move, I guess, to get out from under
really drive all the corporations out and here's how
they're going to do it.
Portland City Council has voted to impose additional taxes on
companies whose CEOs earn more than 100 times the median pay of
their workers. The Oregon measure, which Portland
officials say is the first in the nation, targets and
penalizes companies that perpetuate income inequality.
Portland Mayor Charlie Hale said quote, income inequality is
real. It's a national problem. And the federal government isn't
doing anything about it. Unquote. Ah,
yeah, the federal government's not doing anything about it.
They're not supposed to do anything about it. That's okay.
Yeah, but that was luck. Portland. That's
not the world we live in. John. It's got to be fair. To be fair,
there'll be unfair. I don't know man. I grew up with sticks and
stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me and
life is unfair, Adam. Okay, mom. Mom Yeah, that's my bag to
work thing the kitchen.
If you don't, I will spank you with the hairbrush. Bristle side
down.
I got that will that actually probably be better? Yeah.
