Mueller br Muller, Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Sterling. July 27 2017. This is your award winning gizmo nation
media assassination, episode nine or five. Oh, this
is no agenda, discovering new dimensions
to test your amygdala and coming to you from the darkest corners
of the internet the Capitol dome Star State downtown Austin
Tejas, and the Claudio in the morning. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm holding a bottle of
beta one, three, slash one, six D glucan. under milligrams. I'm
John C. Dvorak.
Greg Levin, Buzzkill.
All right, man, what's in the bottle? Tell us all about the
bottle.
It's beta one, three, slash one, six D glucan.
What is that for?
It was on sale. I don't know what it's for.
It was like, hey, it's on sale. I might as well get it. You're
one of those people.
That helps food store big pile of stuff on sale. And I saw this
one. I said, What the hell is this? And it doesn't really tell
you what it is, of course, because it probably be illegal
and tell you what it is. And so I bought it was like five bucks.
What is it supposed to do? What does it proclaim? What does it
proclaim the effect?
Well, it has a little was it say on here it says, Hold on a
second. It just had a pair of glasses to read this little
probably
the same stuff that Infowars sells just in a different
package.
Oh, I wouldn't be surprised. All that stuff comes from the
slides, I tell you what is for at least the best that I can. It
starts by wishes immune support. So it's got something to do with
that supports and modulates immune. Some protection.
Stimulates macrophage activity. Oh, excellent. Yes. Those
macrophages I really have. I have
a commercial later for tech news. That that will blow your
mind with what what was that term? We gotta write that down.
What was it? MAC MAC
will stage activity macrophage? Yeah, fake faces are these
crazy? Things that like they're like, fleas for bacteria. They
get they kill bacteria.
So basically, it's bleach is what you're saying?
It's not bleach? Well, maybe yeah, bleach and Nevernight. But
anyway, it's it comes from some crazy stuff. And it's got some
mushroom stuff in it to know what is supposed to be. You take
one
mushroom stuff. Nice. Yeah. Very nice. All right, I think we
should start today with a transgender news.
Glue. Well, I have the, you know, I could have put together
the long, long openings. All the networks did everybody started
there I was with I actually
grabbed the ABCs piece as a background or which, which was
long. But yeah,
but I want to hear that. But I want after you're done, I want
you to play the background or I've collected from local media.
Okay, we'll play this one. Because there's a couple of
interesting things in here and everyone this but this
gives people with the story. Just never listen to the news.
So they want to hear what Disney was
just about to launch into it. So in the middle of, you know, all
kinds of stuff going on, including a budget that was
trying to be passed, or that is going to be passed. All of a
sudden the president tweets tweets love it. There'll be no
transgendered Americans in the military. Because of the cost
and what was the exact quote other it was the disrupting just
why it came down to enormous costs. I think that that's that
was kind of the way he angled it. And it was very odd to see a
couple of things happen. One people lost their shit as usual.
Oh. Interestingly, you don't hear much from the L's or the
G's or the B's, or even the Q's. And I love this because I can
finally point out the fact that the LGBT community is bullshit.
There's no lesbians and gays standing up for the
transgendered no one's saying that's an outrage. Ah, straight
people are philosophy straight people don't
listen to the news. They are straight people but not let you
listen to news the way they were. They captured everybody's
against this. And I want to point out a couple of little
minor tidbits. One this only went into allowing transgenders
into the military only began in June 2016. So it has its July.
I think it was July and it wasn't even implemented. They
didn't even start it.
No, that's part two of this. There was a it was actually by
it was June but the I don't reason I say this because I was
watching, just watching a clip of dog face the old head of the
Defense Department. Yeah. And it said underneath of June 2016,
maybe it wasn't fully in play. But but it wasn't implemented
because Mattis kind of stalled on it. And the number of
transgenders that are in the military already between 15 and
50,000. They don't seem to know. I think just kind of snuck in
one way or the other. Yeah.
Well, I I just thought it was very interesting on the face
bags. Everywhere I looked, I went looking, I did not see
lesbians, gays, bisexuals are queer standing up and saying
this is an outrage for our community. Ah, so let's just
stop that once and for all. And when it's the gays turn, trust
me, the lesbians and the transgenders are not going to
stand up for them. So can we just once and for all stop with
this bullcrap LGBTQ community? Because it's not a community and
the people who are LGBTQ should be outraged that they're lumped
together like that all the time. And let's have some equality. If
transgendered people can't be in the military, neither
constrained people as
a candidate Donald Trump promised to protect gay, lesbian
and transgender rights, the first nominee ever to make such
a promise.
That's actually not what he said. That is not what he
promised. Did you did you know that that there was everyone's
just spouting off about,
they have played his clip a couple of times at some of the
networks, and they were it was slightly
different. It was very different. In fact, you could
view it, and I can already see people going, you could view it
as if he's doing exactly what he promised as a candidate
Donald Trump promised to protect gay, lesbian and transgender
rights, the first nominee ever to make such a promise at our
republican convention.
As your president,
I will do everything in my power to protect our LG BT Q citizens
from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology
that has nothing to do with LGBTQ
rights. And no, it's just talking about keeping the
Muslims away.
No, he's saying keeping them safe. And how do you keep keep
them safe from No,
but he keeps specifically, he doesn't specifically say
anything, but he's, I think he specifically was talking about
the Muslim. That's exactly well, off the roof.
That's exactly what he's saying. Again, yes. So listen, to get
hateful foreign ideology. Believe me, believe me. So you
keep them safe by not putting them in the army.
Well, that's a very, I'm just saying you could view it that
way. I just it was a nice twist. I like it.
When I heard the clip, and like, that's not he didn't promise to
protect the rights. He promised. He promised
to keep them safe from the, from the Muslims. Well, actually,
ISIS in particular. And here's the funny thing that by the way,
Obama
would do that. And everyone be like, No, dammit, he got us
again. Dammit. Okay. Well, you're right.
Now. Mimi was talking to me about this. And first thing I
said, I said, since when just this is just a liberal outrage
effect. My clip includes Nancy Pelosi going completely out of
control. Since when did the liberals and the left since when
are they pro military and pro war that they give a crap about
this? We could go Yeah.
That would also was that got more to this report, obviously.
Also interesting was the the number of transgendered people
in our military currently all over the map.
But today, a sudden reversal, the president surprising even
his own top advisors, with a major change in military policy
announced via Twitter, please be advised he declared the United
States government will not accept or allow transgender
individuals to serve in any capacity in the US military. Our
military cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and
disruptions that transgender in the military would entail.
So that was his his tweet, as far as I know, that's accurate.
To the cost, for sure, disruptions I guess. But
overall, the military, which is a fighting machine kills people
is not a social experiment. So what I'm okay, you know, it's
like whatever you want to do, but you're right. It's like
this. Oh, no, everyone has to be in the middle of that we should
have, you know, the 12 year old should be able to get anybody
can get in the military. I mean, what Where did where do we draw
the lines? Where do we draw them? Well,
the Pentagon directed all questions to the White House,
making it clear that change came from the president himself. And
as
he what I heard, is, this is the way it's being so I don't know
if you've seen this anywhere. I didn't get any clips or any
reports about it that were you usable for the show is he wanted
the President wanted his border wall budget, or the money for it
within the budget that was in the house, I believe. And
someone did a back end deal said, Okay, here's what we're
going to do you want that? Well, then you have to stop the
transgendered in the military. And that's why it was kind of
snuck in. And now the Pentagon is I'm sure they were very aware
of this, like, oh, just ask the president. We're too
chickenshit. To say it ourselves. I think that's what
happened. We will
continue to work closely with the White House to address the
new guidance provided by the Commander in Chief. But the
White House couldn't provide answers to the most basic
questions.
They're so stupid.
What happens to transgender service members now? Are they
immediately thrown out of the military?
That's something that the Department of Defense and the
White House will have to work together as implementation takes
place and has done so lawfully
a study commissioned last year?
Yeah, but what network was this?
This ABC? Okay. Yeah. And you're and you're, yeah,
they also do this crap. They couldn't answer the most basic
question. And then they asked a question, and they answered it
gave an answer to the answer is you have to talk to somebody
else.
No, actually, the answer was they're working on it. Yeah. But
so the basic question, it was a question and it was answered,
how did they not? How's this not able to answer? They may 1, they
set to set this up as if they they're going to ask a question
that person and go, Oh, no, I don't know.
Well, but here's the here's the bothersome thing. And it's
coming up next is how many transgendered military personnel
there are currently, Bloomberg reported on some study. It's a
study. It's actually he's crazy. I'm gonna get this for the way
they described that made it somewhere. Someone I presume,
has a list. Isn't there a list somewhere of how many men women
and other are in the military? Someone's got to have a little?
No, no. Well, here it is. Here's how Bloomberg and you'll think
you'll hear something similar, but the numbers are all over the
place. I've heard 256. I've heard 15,000 15,500 for
12,000 1500. I've heard 2500. No
1000. Here it is a 25. This is Bloomberg. A 2014 study
estimated that 15,500 trans people were currently serving in
the US military. And here's how they came up to the numbers.
It's interesting. The Williams Institute think tank of UCLA
UCLA School of Law that researches gender identity came
to fit came to that figure using a 2011 survey of 6546
transgender Americans, around 20% of that surveys, respondents
said they had served in the armed forces. That'd be around
1300. There are currently 1.3 million active duty personnel in
the US military and additional 800,000 in reserves using
various extrapolations based on population estimates and rates
of service for men and women women. The Williams researchers
concluded that 8800 People were an active duty and another 6700
were in the National Guard and US Army Reserve at trans people
The report suggests might join the military at a higher rate
than other groups.
This is exactly almost identical to the methodology you use for
climate change. German how many people listen to a podcast?
Exactly. pony up advertisers, lots of people
patient takes place and has done so lawfully. A study
commissioned
last year by the Pentagon estimates there are roughly 2500
Transgender service members on active duty
now how does it so we have all these different numbers? I have
15 15,500 to one and 56. This was what how many of you say?
He said 2500 is pretty obvious that nobody nobody knows that's
one of them, Air Force Staff Sergeant Dad,
just showing the military Mike. Yeah, we always got to slip in a
couple of kabooms.
Ireland, profiled in a New York Times documentary while he was
serving in Afghanistan.
There's not a lot of people that know that I'm transgender. It's
very much on a need to know basis.
Today, responding to the President's staff sergeant
Ireland said, I would like to see them try to kick me out of
my military, I would challenge them in court, you are not going
to deny me my right to serve my country. When I am fully
qualified and able and willing to give my life. The new policy
and how it was announced, was quickly criticized by fellow
Republicans in Congress.
I want a strong fabric military, but I want to be fair, and the
best way to do this is hearing how to tweet
it's a lie. There's a lie. What the guy just said, listen,
listen to what he says.
Republicans in Congress
wrote back a little more hey, we got Lindsey Graham, your new
policy and how it
was an announced was quickly criticized by fellow Republicans
in Congress. Now
tell me what the criticism is here.
But I want to be fair, and the best way to do this is have a
hearing now to tweet.
So you didn't criticize the policy as was just sighs
anything. Well, besides the delivery mechanism, he didn't
criticize the actual policy. This is really is. This isn't
disturbing. Yes.
It's disturbing does just that CBS does this ABC, all through
the networks pull this crap constantly. It's You're right.
It's very distressed. And this
is this is a big news organization and they're just
blatantly lying to you and
the President's most prominent transgender supporter, Caitlyn
Jenner retweeted Trump's own words from the campaign. Thank
you to the LGBT community. I will fight for you while Hillary
brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and
beliefs. Jenna is now asking what happened to your promise to
fight for them?
Ah, man,
it goes back to the clip you had at the very beginning, which is
the promise to keep them safe?
Yes, yes. Save your promise
to fight for them.
All right. So let's get to John Collins live with oppas.
Second. Now, it seems to me that a news organization like this,
which is just twisting and twisting the facts, you think
they get a lot more attention, because everybody else is doing
exactly the same thing, especially CBS. And you think
they would get a lot more intention by actually analyzing
what they have in front of them and doing what you just did
would say, Trump never said that. Trump said this, you play
the Trump clip? You they didn't do that, but they never analyzed
it. What is wrong with these guys? Well, the
I have some thoughts. I don't know. They're, they're a part of
it. But I have discovered a third dimension. Well, we'll
talk about that in a moment. Because I think there's a third
dimension people are slipping in and out of maybe it has
something to do with this. But this to me, seems more like
total dimension, a just, you know, just just they hear they
hear Lindsey Graham say something about the tweet. And
then that somehow that translates into he criticized
the policy. I believe they actually heard so whoever wrote
the script, really heard Graham criticizing the policy. And this
is the cognitive days deaf. No, it's they hear what they want to
hear. This is really happening. It's disturbing that it's gone
to this level of news, though into
your promise to fight for them.
All right. So let's get to John coral live at the White House
tonight. And John, first you had the Pentagon today saying if you
have questions, ask the White House. Tonight. You've now
learned the House and Senate Armed Services committees did
not know anything about this either.
David the move caught the leaders of those committees
completely by surprise. The chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, Senator John McCain, called the President's
tweet unclear and then he said this, there is no reason to four
service members who are able to fight, train and deploy to leave
the military, regardless of their gender identity. Okay.
So again, I find it interesting that nowhere do I hear I don't
see gays and lesbians organizing making a big deal for the
brothers and sisters of the of the T portion of their
community. That to me is the thing that is most telling about
all this and the rest is fine.
It is what it is. It is what it is the events and other habits.
It is what it
is. Let's listen to the local report. All right, this is
trans bam.
trans man local. I think it says I got it. Good evening,
everyone.
I'm Erin Clark. Dan Green is off tonight. We are beginning
tonight with a major blow to the transgender community.
Nice. Good one, slip that one and like it very good script
writer blow.
Tonight. We are beginning tonight with a major blow to the
transgender community. President Trump tweeting today.
transgender individuals can no longer serve in the military. He
says the military should focus on victories and should not be
burdened with the medical costs and disruption of transgender
service members. Please, four prominent Republican senators,
including John McCain are criticizing the move. Reaction
from Democrats and the LGBT community? Oh, Swift. Oh,
really? The day
President Trump has chosen this day
to commit and this is Nancy Pelosi, the notorious lesbian
fairly is the representative the lesbian community. Yes. LGBT.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe she is. Who knows? Maybe it could be
telling the truth.
The day President Trump has chosen this day to commit an act
of cowardice is a cowardly act the way he did it, and specially
what he did on this day Ah one LeeSha vile, hateful agenda that
will blindside 1000s of patriotic Americans already
serving with honor and bravery.
Why now says President arrived at the decision after talking
with his generals and military staff, Pentagon told The
Associated Press in June that roughly 250 service members have
applied to change their gender in the military's personnel
system. It's believed there are anywhere between 15 115,000
Active Duty transgender service members. And here locally,
FORMER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LEON PANETTA weighing in as did the
LGBT community in Santa Cruz.
Now here's a thing that I caught my eye besides Pelosi, was this
250 active duty members want to change their gender on the fly?
Which means I think the government has to pay for that.
Yes. Which I believe is part of the reason that this happened.
That's exactly what what the policy tweet was all about. is
too expensive. And it's disruptive.
Yeah, that game because that is kind of disruptive. And it is
expensive. It's like, I don't know how much but it's a lot.
10s of 1000s of dollars. And I get the sense I get this, and
I'm not sure completely what how Trump works. But I get the sense
one of the things with him is like this, a bunch of stuff
comes up. And he doesn't want to deal with it. And he says, Okay,
we just stopped doing that transgenders in the military.
Yes. Easier. That's done. All this questions.
Yes. That's possible? Well, there's a lot of reasons.
There's a lot of medical reasons, which just makes the
debate even worse. Of course, when you say it's a medical
reason. There's lots of medical reasons why you cannot even be
in the military. If you got stomach gastritis if you have
irritable bowel syndrome, obviously, hepatitis that would
be a bad one if you have anal fissure, or persistent anal
fistula. I mean, seems like that sounds bad, by the way. You
don't want dental issues. I mean, there's a lot of there's a
lot of reasons why you you're not admitted into the military.
So but, you know, I
bet they're making such a big stink and Pelosi again, another
Democrat going on and on about military service. When when I
was a kid when I was a Democrat, when you were a trainee, when I
was not a trainee, but I was a Democrat, which is similar. Oh,
man. Sorry, why don't you set me up with that? Apologize. We have
a lot of democratic listeners. And so but I was it was a it was
anti military. Yeah, anti war, anti military was just it wasn't
a question about it one way or the other was just no, this is
not This is bad. We don't we want a small military want to
cut back. We don't need all these bombs don't want to kill
everybody. But know that change?
Again, I would just like to see. Just give me the t part of the
LGBT community where they're outspoken and protesting. No one
seems to really
be bothered. I didn't give you the whole reform. But there was
a couple of gays at the end bitching
gays or lesbians or transgender or lesbians
and I think there was a trans?
Well, well, I have not seen any of that the only local reporting
around here, there's plenty of that there is not everybody not
as if it does not exist.
Everybody in San Francisco is is part of the LGBTQ community. Now
it's not fair. I'm just saying, and I hear people in the world
and I hear transgender people saying, where's everybody? So
you can't be silent on these on this issue. And you might get
them met with silence. It just well, just while we're on this
topic, or kind of on this topic, what the LGBT community did
speak out about very vocally on the tweeters and on the face
bags, is Jared Kushner when he came out and said, Well, hey,
you know, I'm sorry, I just spoke to the committee that
didn't, you know, didn't collude with Russia. And if you hear
Jared Kushner Well, here's the tweets gay is a tree full of
chickadees Oh, nice. Oh, yes, I
missed this because of course, I'm not Oh, my goodness egg. Oh,
everywhere. So now the bad the face bag, the liberal face bag
with all this with his self righteousness and it's now
attitude. is calling Kushner out as gay. Yep.
And the advocate actually wrote an op ed in the advocate about
how wrong this is. And it's here the the author says the reason I
knew these insults were coming and the reason they stung so
deeply despite my strong person distaste for Jared Kushner is
that they brought back painful childhood memories of being
bullied and harassed relentlessly for having a
lighter, higher voice that didn't neatly comport with our
culture's rigid, arbitrary and erroneous definitions of
masculinity. I learned the meaning of the word Sissy and
faggot when they were thrown at me on the elementary school
playground by classmates making fun of my voice, and he says it
himself he says, This is crazy. That what why are you doing
this? Why are you doing exactly what you're accusing if Well,
well, it's that's the Dutch.
Notice Kushner is voices little isn't a higher octave is it's
kind of a soprano. I know
that know, the dude is. He's completely creepy to look at
when he's talking. He looks like a plasticine figure. He's like,
come on. I think he's crazy. I
don't think I've seen him talk that much.
No, no, this is the point. So when he finally came out and
started to talk then then the LGBT community is Oh, he's so
guy. He's one of ours.
He's what do you think
hearing his voice as a reminder that masculinity is dying? Jared
Kushner sounds exactly like I expected him to sound super
fucking gay. And these are from gays.
And this is you're reading from the Facebook. Yeah.
I'm reading from this article that has some tweets in there.
Yes. Some insulted Christians anatomy dude is a Unix somebody
fucked up that circumcision. That's actually a good twofer. I
like that a lot. You get juicy stuff and you get to slam him
for being a wimp. Good. Kushner is an important reminder that
you can't buy puberty. After hearing Jarrods voice I
understand why Ivanka was staring at Justin Trudeau with
those hungry eyes. See, this is what they're angling.
There we go. There it is. This is a roundabout way getting at
her because she seems untouchable. But we'd love to
just get get first of all one, get rid of her and quit falling
all over yourself because of Ivanka being so pretty. And then
of course, there's that old picture which showed up which I
put in the newsletter a couple of rounds ago, when I put all
his photos in a picture of her before her face lifts, I assume.
And then a picture of her today and she had a big kind of a
honker. She didn't have really a lot of delicate features. Let's
put it that way
to more why Jared Kushner always seem like he low key looking at
your dick from one year and over. And as expected he sounds
as if he's month ins months into hormone replacement therapy for
forthcoming sexual reassignment surgery. No, this is just the
kind of stuff that goes on.
Very you know, everybody's a comedian on the on these.
Which brings me to dimension are I've noticed this and this has a
little bit to do with some recent tweet stuff and some
emails. It actually started with the guy who you blocked who was
uh, who we talked about in the last show, like, I can't believe
you don't know how an air conditioner works. If you follow
that whole thing, did you block I
didn't here's what happened. I said I was gonna block them. I
didn't block because I looked at his his tweets seem to be you
know, okay. I mean, generally speaking, it seemed like a
lunatic. So I didn't block him. And then he came back with some
insult, right? You know, if you guys don't apologize, some I
forgot what it was. But I thought it was just a threat in
an instant, then I blocked them. So I have not heard from this
guy. So
you didn't see the email thread. You blocked him from that
because then he sent that long email. And then I jumped. And
then I jumped in. And I said, Yeah, long story short. Here's
what I here's what I've recognized. So he wound up
saying, Hey, man, I'm really sorry, I have this snarkiness to
my character. It's a flaw. I'm working on it. Yeah, but yeah,
that was the that was the only thing we pointed out from the
from the beginning was you? What, why the snark. And this is
where I'm coming up with this odd dimension, which people move
in and out of calling a dimension are for number license
for R O R because it's very prevalent on the Reddit, but
also retarded and snark. Okay, okay. Okay, so here's the number
one thing that happens when someone is in dimension R. And
there was a guy who, who emailed me and he was right off the bat,
fu Screw you, you moron, you idiot. And he was saying that we
were too stupid to know that the Patreon site was a joke. And
that we took it seriously. And I went back and I listened to that
segment. I'm like, we really were making a joke out of it.
And they remember it.
Well, it was Patreon was John and Hadrian. Yeah. And then he's
like your migrant coverage of Europe is completely stupid. You
should stop reading for channeling. I've read for Jan I
don't think so. And you if you really want to know what's going
on and he sends me a PDF with the Cal Gary Keller color D plan
that we talked about extense Have li for almost two episodes.
You know the the plan to into to bring in to make everyone kind
of like a brown Egyptian like color all over Europe and when
we discussed this? No, it was 255. Yeah, it was only four
shows ago.
And you set to 55.
I mean, 959 55 I'm sorry, 955-950-5954 55. We're 950 45.
Okay, I'm in the middle of a story. You're bogging me down
with detail Smalls. 245
Okay, so only is it 245? Again, nine,
I'm insane. If you are 945 I don't know what's going on 945.
And extensively, we discussed this. So I send them that I
said, But you know, dude, I don't know why you're yelling at
me. But we talked about this exactly what you're spewing off
in my face, so you don't even listen. And he goes, well, but
this is the thing, even when here's what dimension are is
dimension art person will look at you will listen to what you
have to say. And if even if you are in complete agreement with
their viewpoint, if you're if you're returning to them, their
actual views, they will think that you're that you're against
them. And it goes on for a cycle or like two, three cycles. And
they just don't realize if you would listen because they're so
conditioned. That anyone saying anything is got to be wrong. And
this is where the Snark then comes from. These are the Snark
people who have to make some kind of unfunny joke. It's it's
a very, very strange place where these people live. And I've seen
it now three times in the past two days, where I am saying
exactly what this person believes in, whether I believe
in it or not. And they and they hear something. The exact
opposite. They hear a controversy in what you're
saying. And it's an affliction. This, it's very, very odd, and
you can break through it. You go through the cycles with him,
then Ah, okay, well, yeah, my dog died. You know, Miko had a
flat tire. And
I've had this, I've seen this where the guy comes at you with
something and then you say, I didn't say that. Go back and
listen again. And you shouldn't I don't don't come here to be
personally insulted. I always throw that out out there. And
they are and they come back, you write the same way. Oh, my dog
died. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I don't know what I was
thinking. It's very strange.
And I believe it is a state that people When, when, when, and I
think it happens to be or a people. They just need to fight.
They just need to have some kind of what is the word? I'm looking
for some opposition they want they're just looking for an
opponent for anything. Why are they just saying out on Reddit?
Yes, of course. And number one reason. And they're there they
come. And again, it's it's across the spectrum, the
political spectrum, and the belief spectrum. I think they're
disenfranchised. I think they're truly disenfranchised. No matter
what it is, you're not doing enough. You're doing too little.
You're wrong. You're all it's all wrong. And I think that
too, all wrong. In that group, but there's also the the an
element of that is the people who come at you with, why don't
you recommend something? Why don't you tell us what to do?
Yeah, why don't you become more of an activist? Why don't you
tell? And why don't you tell us what to do seems to be a key,
which is, we don't want to tell you what to do. Yeah. It's not
what we do. We're not here to tell people what to do. We're
just here to break down stuff and say, Hey, this is screwed
up. What do you want?
But But But what happens is, that's when they could that's, I
don't know if that is complete dimension are when you tell us
what to do. But the incessant need for opposing feedback
somehow. And that's where the Snark comes from. Because you
know, it's you could call it trolling, but it's a little
different than that. These are the disenfranchised. These are
these are the disillusioned, many disillusioned
for sure, yeah.
disillusioned.
Everybody's disenfranchised if you're going to be objective
about it. Explain I mean, what power do you have? Zero. You're
disenfranchised.
I have one vote. One vote of power is what I have John one
vote. Just one. Yeah. Yeah. But it's okay. So we'll just say
disillusion.
And in fact, the when I would I have a couple of clips I've got
coming up with Cheryl Atkinson, who on the early part of the
month, was interviewed by for her new book, smear when she was
interviewed on book TV, alright, let's do it now. And the reason
I I'll move we're gonna do it. Now I do want to mention that
when we discussed the last clip that you had where you thought
they were hearing the wrong things, you say, Oh, well, I
think they're hearing the wrong attention. No, this is a this is
a blatant lie. This is not as though they're hearing the wrong
things. And I want to play this clip to kind of back myself up.
And this is a smear book intro,
necessarily working the business at all ever again. Because I
didn't really see a place based on my friends and contacts that
I could go and do the kind of reporting I expected to be able
to do that they would want. And that I would be unfettered. So
this opportunity came up out of the blue, they created the
program with a promise of 30 right or right, depending on
where you are. And, and so far, no editorial interference, I run
my stories through a normal editorial process of lawyers and
an ethics review, like I did at CBS, which was voluntary, by the
way, CBS didn't require it, but I did it. Here we have a similar
process that there has been no editorial interference trying to
shape my stories, nothing like you know, at CBS at the end.
They told you what they wanted your interviewees to say and
what the facts show, you know, before you ever gather them,
Oh, nice.
She's that's what she,
she went off did her own thing. And she also claims to have been
hacked by by our government isn't she has a lot of claims.
She has a lot of complaints. Yeah, she was with CBS. Now, she
said that they tell you what they want. They tell you what
clips they want you to get of somebody saying a certain thing.
And then they want you to conclude a certain thing that
they want. Now, going back to that ABC report where we caught
two examples of the guy saying, well, he criticized the
President, and then you play. And then within his own package,
you're right. He doesn't criticize the president.
Exactly. This, to me is an example of what she just said.
He had to had
to have that. That was that was the message and he had to find
the clip. And that's the best he had. Or whoever put the
producer. I'm sure he didn't put the package together. Whoever
put the package together. Yeah, I'm by that. And so
that's why I keep catching this, if you haven't noticed, because
I'm trying to catch as much as I can. on CBS, and ABC and NBC
were the guys that make an assertion. And then they, they
they provide the example of the assertion, and the example is
improvised. Let's back it up at all. Yeah.
It works, though. I blame MTV. for that. We learned how to
distract people from reality a long time ago. Well, you have a
lot of lots of tricks.
Somebody wrote a book on it. So she wrote a book on the smear
thing. And this guy, this guy named wimple. He's a he's this
wimple character I didn't know about this is Eric wimple. He's
the media critic for The WaPo a whopper Whopper. And he
apparently was in the book called out as a smear artists
are one of the WaPo smear artists. And so he was
combative. The whole interview and he ruined the interview. I
have the right condemn C span for putting this interview on
with this guy. Because he wrecked it the interview was
sucked because he was just
that's exactly why they put it on look, you suck we're gonna
put that all on the air.
Now, well, maybe whatever the case, and they say that she had
a bunch of very agenda she apparently the book smear is
about mostly. Or not mostly, but she has examples of different
smears. And then she has goes after Media Matters. And the guy
who runs it, who is a famous, very famous smear artists and
her definition is smeared is sometimes differently. This guy
kept arguing with me what smear men meant, but let's listen to a
couple of guy got two clips. This is the first one here is
this guy on. On this Trump clip where they were Billy bud or
whatever it was Billy Billy,
Billy Bush, Bush, Billy Bush, Billy
Bush, and I can't remember his name. They come off the bus and
they do legal I consider this a violation of privacy and I found
it very offensive that they even had this thing and that they
were holding it news NBC I guess this is the grabber by the
pussy, grabbed by the pussy. And so this guy wimple and I want to
talk about his grabbed by the pussy and this private
conversation between two dorks after we played this particular
clip, and this is the this one is the horrific clips are seven,
of course, a really big moment when the tape comes of Trump
saying to Billy Bush all these nasty things like grabbing by
the pussy and all this real big, real terrible stuff. And you say
that that is if I'm not mistaken, you say that's the
mother of all smears. How is that a smear?
Was it that or was it The there were two that I highlighted,
including the New York Times article about all the women he
had mistreated the the women came out afterwards, so they
were misquoted mischaracterizing the article. So maybe also this
was grouped under that heading or I've you know, because again,
that was an amplified incident, the same sort of behavior that
what was amplified about the tape. I mean, that was just the
tape was played,
I just mean amplified, it was really broadly circulated and
sent around in in, you know, hyperspeed fashion by all the
people that oppose the President's candidate candidate
centrists.
And she'll know the true smear. Yeah, I
mean, it was, it was rooted in truth, obviously, I don't think
anybody took even the president didn't seem to take issue with
with the words that he spoke, the way it was characterized the
way it was spread and the way it was used. And people didn't just
report that this happened. It took on this life of its own as
you saw on the news with people demanding all kinds of things
happen and that it was the worst thing that could ever happen on
the planet and that he must not be
awful, though. I mean, wasn't it just objectively horrific? It
was
it was very negative. I don't think anybody is arguing the
opposite. I think anybody ever argued the opposite.
Now this guy, horrific, would you call it horrific?
Yes. I was I would have a PTSD from it.
Yeah, this one I mean, it's like it was a tape of a very, like a
surreptitious recording of two guys and one of them just
obviously a braggart. I've you've run into guys like this.
Yeah.
And I typically don't like I hate these guys. Yeah,
annoy them. Yeah, they're annoying. Oh, yeah. Got her in a
corner. And I'm reminded of the of the air pollution. When I was
at the air pollution. This we have a we had a guy who I won't
name him, but he was one of these guys. He was exactly like
this. He's always talking about his victory was a good looking
guy could have had a few conquests. But all he did was
brag about his conquest and all the rest of it. And one time we
were at I actually I wasn't at this. I was told this by one of
his friends who said he can't believe you know, they have this
stuff this guy says, and then he told the story about where Gus
is the guy's name. First Name. Gus was in this restaurant,
where he's starting to make a pass at one of the waitresses,
and she calls him out on it says, Hey, I'm five minutes away
from my break. My trailer is parked right in the park. Let's
go. And he just folded. Got him up in that restaurant, he would
never do say anything in there again. But this is the kind of
guy that does end to end to be so naive that you call it awful
and horrific as if this doesn't happen.
Well, there's some aesthetic. Yeah, well, I do notice that we
will watch comedy specials I've been saying general, we as as a
population, will watch television shows where
everything is discussed. Everything is funny, everything
is snarky. Everything is really off color. Jokes left and right.
But for some reason, we want to hold our politicians and our
elected representatives to a, quote, higher standard than we
have apparently, certainly in the United States.
And public standard is different than the private standard with
these guys. But it's but it's right. Yes. And so now they take
a private conversation. In other words, if you started taking the
bank, surreptitiously taking private conversations, any of
these people are a Hillary for that matter. Yeah, you'd get
you'd get this sort of thing. Exactly. So how is this guy,
this wemple? Guy? It's so high and mighty that he makes all
these you gotta deal. It's Unbeliev. He's got a very
annoyed by this interview. I can tell. Let's go back to the last
clip. And this is their discussion of how Glenn Beck was
taken out. And some of the details are probably new to
humanize success story,
and using using 100% True evidence to do so.
Let me start
by using 100% True evidence is that what he said?
That's what he said. Now this guy hears this assertion, he
keeps making it throughout the interview, he will not accept
her definition of smear. He uses a dictionary definition of
smear, which is to use falsehoods to ruin somebody's
reputation, more or less as a dictionary definition and she's
not talking in those those terms. And so what he says that
anything that's true, can't be used as a smear and he keeps
arguing with her about this. And so you know, You could put
together a lot of true facts and make it into a campaign that she
considers to be a smear campaign could say
he has horrible orange hair. Yeah, that's a smear campaign.
But it's true. Anyways, he's very combative about this. And
he's also adenoidal, which really bothers me. Yeah, he
talks to the kind of
gay by any chance. I think he hates women. Let's go he
does definitely hates her. Yeah, he might be I don't know. I
don't know that. I didn't even think about that. But I do know
he's adenoidal which is that? And
oh, stop, stop right there. Stop right there. Sorry to go astray.
We got an email from Annie briglia. And she says I'm a
douchebag listener was not yet contributed to your efforts. The
day may come I'm finding your work increasingly valuable. I'm
a 61 year old previously dimension B woman who started
listening in order to have some common ground with my 30 year
old son who gasp voted for Trump. Your podcast has been
extremely educational as well as facilitating good conversations
with greater understanding of my son's point of view and he has
donated I have come to very much appreciate your work. I don't
always agree with your analysis good. But you have largely
parted the clouds and allow the sun to illuminate matters now.
She goes on and on. But then she says I admit to finding you
especially Adam, course, offensive on many occasions with
your commentary on women's outfits, hairstyles milkiness
cameltoe, etc.
We don't talk camel toe is not something that I don't think
we've ever mentioned that I'm
sure the word has come up. But I It doesn't matter it doesn't
matter. Also, the inserted pig's snorts while listening to a
recording of a woman mimicry of their high pitched responses and
so on. John, you are guilty of joining in with uproarious
laughter sometimes, although it seems you sometimes abstain from
comments, perhaps recognize the inappropriateness of Adam's
comment. Are you aware that you don't do any of that in relation
to men? I'm sorry, bull crap. We made we made fun of
what? Just stop me? Yes, please stop me in the middle of my Yes.
Fun of the guy's voice.
Yes, exactly. We do this all the time. But careful of dimension.
Are
you only hearing the half of you're only here?
Yeah, you're only you're selectively hearing. And we did
adjust the other just on the previous show, I think made fun
of Scaramucci and how he talks and we make fun of the reporter
who says she reporting sounds like yes, it take a dump. We do
this all the
time, the reporter exact time all the time here today.
But again, I do want to repeat that in general. When we make
comments about people's appearance, it is from a
television perspective. And we speak as television producing
professionals.
We are up strike the media. Yeah. And
and that gives us license to be douchebags Of course. And it's
funny, and I like doing it but we do it to men to absolutely
how many times we've made fun of Putin, or, or what's the guy the
dead guy now the elitist Brzezinski Come on. Alright,
done. Alright, let's go back to the Chemin
de Schmitz. I like this a good little rant. You're welcome. So
this guy, this guy's got a hair up his ass and he's going on and
on. He's making her life miserable. But this is a very,
this is a very enlightening segment on Beck
huge success story and using using 100% True evidence to do
so. Glenn Beck, let's let's plow through some of the specifics.
With Glenn Beck, you, you state that a similar sort of thing
where he was not being very well heated or there was not a lot of
attention paid to him and then he gets slammed by he did get
slammed by media matters. He did get pushed out of Fox.
I think more attention at the time was being paid to him
probably than the remark we discussed with Imus. I think
Beck was getting a huge following. And that was part of
why he was so disturbing to the people that that he opposes or
that oppose him. And they went after him precisely because he
had a large platform at Fox, his show was becoming very
successful. And then day after day, the drumbeat that he was
following was his own smear campaign, you could say against
Media Matters types of George Soros, and they were monitoring
him. So it was sort of this dueling campaign between the two
of them. But they made as you see in the book, a very public
announcement a million dollars from George Soros kind of
specifically to get Glenn Beck as a danger to humanity and
society. And I think they were they claim credit for pulling
them off here and I think they were
to do and you don't you don't. So you're not making any value
judgment whether that's a good thing or a bad
No, I'm not. I think it's just a good instructional tool of how
an effective smear operation or smear campaign was conducted.
But smear is not a positive thing, right. Syrah is a use of
a false accusation to degrade someone's reputation. A synonym
for smear is slander libel. So all those words so if you say
you're not casting,
you could have cut it earlier. I could have cut that out. Now,
the thing that I didn't know was that Soros game Media Matters a
million bucks with the sole purpose of getting back off the
air.
While that part I don't know and I don't see any empirical
evidence but I certainly am inclined to believe it. It's a
lot of money.
She's got a documented
the C span lady no less. That's interesting. Huh.
So the well worked and then he here's what the question that
comes to mind. If you have you watched the blaze once in a
while, I'm sure maybe you don't hear something, but I do. And
and Soros, his name has never come up. Oh, no. Why would I
mean, Becky? Thank you. So do the shoes diagrams and go for
the arrows.
And it would all you would always connected to Soros.
Always Soros would be at the end of the arrows, right. You're so
right. In fact, for a while we got accused of being stupid
Glenn Beck people. Remember that? Vaguely if it's not Glenn
Beck, it's Alex Jones.
So that he would always do that. But he has not even mentioned
Soros ever since Soros took him out. Interesting.
You're right. Why? Well, death would be one motivator. You
know, I don't know, man. That a certain point, you got to be
careful that we have our detractors. We have tons of
people who don't like what we're doing or disagree or whatever
their issue is. And you know, it's harmless. It's red. It's
Twitter. It's, it's not even on the face bag, but it's email.
And people.
But it's harmless. It's in that guy.
I know. I know. I'm intimately familiar with that guy. So
anyway,
yeah, what happens if you have a really heavy hitter? Go after
you?
Yeah, well, then you have to take things into consideration.
You're done. Yeah, for sure. I have to remind people all the
time, but Ross Perot to you know, yeah, whenever whenever I
say, you know,
I wasn't as though he's a lightweight No. Well,
talk about a crazy ass dude with funny voice.
I got a chart right here for you.
He was the Glenn Beck kind of politics with his charts was
flip chart,
by the way I think of the van new politician is specifically
somebody like Trump actually went in front of the public when
they gave their speeches with those little charts that showed
things the way Ross Perot did, I thought they were very valuable
and strong,
or the way the fireside chats went, which, which now is I
think Obama pretty much turned that into the Presidential
podcast. Yeah. And a bit of Trump was not paying attention
to that is very poor. I thought that they were really going to
have leaders going and stuff flying around. You have cool
virtual set, maybe there's so many things they could do. The
guy's a TV guy, and that's what he comes up with. It's pathetic.
It's really sad. And it's nothing like it. So the fireside
chat that was Roosevelt, I
believe, right Roosevelt. Yep. Peace was started him in the
radio. Yeah.
Then he, you know, he'd say, Hey, everybody, I want here's
what I want you to do. For tomorrow's chat. I want you to
go get a map. And people will be lined up outside of the five and
dime or wherever you buy a map or a globe to buy a map to, to
the president's going to tell us I'm gonna look at the map and we
understand it and I think people really understood it much
better. When you look at the map, you understand things.
You know, the parole, I'm telling you when parole was
Jeremy have his little chart and he because it was a close up
shot. It was a desk shot. It was big enough, you could see the
chart and he would have he had a pointer and he would point in
the show these things he showed the jobs leaving, you know, the
sucking sound from Mexico, all these little idiosyncratic
things he came up with, but he showed this stuff and it was it
was riveting.
Yeah, just to let everybody know that some younger listeners this
was an infamous three way battle that we had it was Bush
HW HW
HW who was the was the other who was that was a Clinton must have
been Clinton then. Yeah, yeah. Clinton and Ross Perot. And I
always bring this up when people say oh, the two party system in
America is of no this is why I like to vote independent to keep
that notion out and keep it alive that we can still have
independence and perot had, I believe close to 30% you It was
an enormous
it was had a huge number and he was gaining momentum and then
what you were going to explain what happened.
Yeah, he quit and he said because my family is in danger
yeah the CIA is believed what he didn't say the CIA but he
believed it could have been anybody could have been some
mafia guys but it's believed to be the CIA came up to him and
they showed some I heard that they showed some compromising
photos dirt on his daughter I think was maybe dirt on his
daughter and this is coming out if you don't get out of this
race right now we
you know what I'd say I'd say to my daughter, I'd say to my
daughter, baby, you just kind of have to bite the bullet. I'm
going for it. Screw the screw whatever you did screw you with
what you did. I'm going to be president.
Yeah, well, Ross Perot wasn't that way. So you
know, if I told you a story about when Ross Perot tried to
buy my company back in the day, no. Was it EDS? In The Now we're
talking we're talking 2009 to 1994 thing 95 And I had onramp
before became think new ideas and he wanted to buy it and he
flew us out me and blue Ron Bloom flew us out to Plano put
us up in hotel in the mornings, it'll just be outside the hotel
at I'm sure I've told the story be outside the hotel, you know
8:30am And okay, we're outside we're waiting also you have
helicopter lands. Like you get in a helicopter takes us to the
building, we land on the roof. Then you go down and hey, I
ended it's a complete show. When they showed this the the data
floor they had this like kind of a like a star like almost like
the bridge of the enterprise with you know, three different
levels of people sitting in different heights, and then the
curtains open and you can see all the servers and people
running around and way down below, like Mission Control,
kind of they've total total theater. And then Okay, now
we're going to we're going to show you a movie, you go in this
movie theater, and it's about the future, the street of the
future and what your neighborhood will look like. And
it's going to be phenomenal. And the kind of the company that's
going to bring it to you is EDS. And then the movie ends, the
screen goes up. We feel this blast of cold air and there's a
whole street with a smart gas station and a smart home. smart
fridge. And the electric car was right about that. And then you
walk from your seat in the movie theater into the street. It was
very impressive. I had to say the bastard underbid, so screw
him. No cap on my company.
Buddy. Yeah, I met him. I met him once. I was kind of taken
aback by how short he is.
Yeah, very, very short guy like 55152
I'd say. I'd say five, four, maybe
somewhere in that range.
It's short for six footers. It's short. He's a borderline. He may
actually be a petite male. So which you know petite males are
out there and he has like petite women as the same
Stephanopoulos? Yeah, he's petite or Robert Reich. The guy
used to be with the Clinton administration parabola that
guy's about 411 I think how hot anyway, beside the point. But
it's again, we're making fun of men.
Yeah. vertically challenged men no less.
So he was out the window. Steve Jobs rolled out next. Oh, yeah,
I was at that event. And perot and I went upstairs into the I
think it was at the San Francisco civic auditorium or
someplace like that. And I went upstairs to roam around the the
balcony, just
trolling for women. No doubt.
I didn't see any barrels. But there was
back to the back page of Macworld yet.
They there was furrows standing there watching the whole thing,
and I knew that he'd invested in next, and so I went up and
introduced myself and start chatting with him. Nobody
around, there's no bodyguards, there's nothing. He's just
standing there. And I asked him why invest in you know, because
I thought even back then Steve Jobs was something of a dick.
And he told me why you know what his decision making process was,
if it's very interesting conversation, I'd really enjoyed
it. But he did have still that screechy voice and he had
something I'm gonna discuss in an upcoming newsletter. He had
the one big eyeball. Oh, I
don't what is this? I'm not sure about this.
The people there's a group of people they have either one. The
left or the right. eyebolt appears to be open a little
wider than the other.
Is there a name for this affliction?
It's called the Big eyeball if I didn't know it. There's no name
for such an affliction. You see it? Jeff Bezos has it the worst
of anyone. Oh,
let me say it Got a picture of him. Keep keep going.
If you look at enough pictures of Bezos, you'll see one where
his left eyeball is really wide. And his right eyeballs kind of
kind of semi closed.
I'm actually I'm actually using the search term Jeff Bezos big
eyeball the first Top hit. What's the deal with Jeff Bezos
is AI? Nice. You're right. Yeah, it looks like it's like it could
be a glass. I almost like it's artificial. Yeah, no. Sure. So
I've come up with a theory about this, which I'll discuss in an
upcoming newsletter is very interesting, very exciting. And
I always thought Perot, hey, I couldn't find any good pictures
of Burroughs big left eye. But when I met him, he was apparent
to me. And once you start looking for this phenomenon, you
find left eyes, big eyes, and sometimes you'll find big right
eyes. But generally speaking in the business light I left big.
Well, well, I'm gonna go to something completely different
for a moment. Finally, some real mainstream M five M news about
the Anwar brothers, who we've been tracking ever since George
Webstar tell you about an undiscovered story. Yeah. Ever
since George Webb came to our attention pool a while ago, and
been following that. These are the the just call them the
brothers and their Pakistanis who had these interesting it
contracts. And they work primarily for Debbie Wasserman
Schultz. And there's all kinds of shenanigans going on with
alleged hacking into other congressional members,
computers, a lot of different things going on. Then we hear
that hard drives were retrieved from a house that one of the
that Mr. Anwar are that guy was leasing out. And these are the
hard drives that the congressional police
confiscated, apparently with help from the FBI. And now
there's a little confusion, because we're hearing that they
were smashed, the hard drives were smashed with a hammer, and
we're not sure if that happened before they were confiscated, or
perhaps by intelligence officials. We just really don't
know but I do have an RT report, which is pretty decent.
On Monday, a former house it staffer Adriana one was arrested
at Dulles airport trying to leave Washington DC for Pakistan
charged with bank fraud. According to the FBI document,
one along with his wife defrauded the house credit union
of almost $300,000 to I quote, obtain money by means of false
pretenses and of quote, It is believed that he has already
wired all the money to Pakistan, which eventually became the
reason for his arrest, and also that he claimed the money for
funeral arrangements. But who is Imran a one? Not your average IT
specialists working for the house. He started his career at
Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz his office
back in 2005. And since then, has managed to get at least four
of his family members to work on the hill. And just recently
Bronwyn was part of a criminal investigation after five current
and former House staffers were accused of stealing equipment
from members offices without their knowledge and thus
committing serious potentially illegal violations. Again, you
brought one was not just another IT guy on the hill and 12 Yes,
he had worked for 25 House Democrats, including Ohio
representative Marcia Fudge and New York Democrat Gregory Meeks.
And those two were among the list of lawmakers who cut ties
with the one after his name surfaced in the equipment after
allegations the only one who did not and kept Imran on the
payroll was Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former chair of the
DNC, she kept him employed, despite a one being stripped of
access to house it networks for months. Speaking of which,
before the third scandal, a one enjoyed huge access to emails
and files of dozens of Congress members including password to
the iPad of Wasserman Schultz, which she had been using for
business while serving as chair of the DNC. A one was also
mentioned in one of the DNC cables leaked by the wiki league
wiki Lee, which as you can imagine, has already generated a
flurry of theories about a one potentially being the leaker of
those emails. The one story at this point certainly has more
questions than answers. The man himself pleaded not guilty on
Tuesday, we also reached out to Debbie Wasserman Schultz his
office for comment, but there's been no response as of yet.
No kidding. So they got this guy on, on just to charge for, you
know, money money laundering or stealing or if that's, you know,
they got him. That's the main point. So someone was looking
for this guy. They someone was there's definitely someone on
this case, within, within either law enforcement or law
enforcement or I would hope FBI and I hope that doing the right
thing, because this thing's really stinks and and find them.
They're just not touching it. They're not touching the story.
I'm
baffled by this. They'd go all over the fall over themselves
over this. Some tweet that Trump does, and then there's still
spend a whole news cycle talking about it, and they just ignore
this story
or my favorite that Trump confused the Boy Scouts of
America for the Hitler Youth. That was my favorite story. I
love that story.
We're back to that now. I mean, it says more about the person
who's who sees I mean, I really, I've seen a lot of Hitler Youth
videos growing up in the Netherlands. You kind of
indoctrinated Hey, kids, if this starts to happen to you, beware.
It's probably not a good ending. And that didn't come up. It
didn't come up in my head at all. I'm just, you know, I was
outraged because he said hell or something like that, whatever it
was, and they barely showed the audience. And the Boy Scouts are
not all 12 years old. But okay. But then have to say, Ah, he
could you Hitler Youth? Yes. political rallies, insulting
to the boys. Boy Scouts. Yes. I spend the whole thing to be
really sick. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Just again, it's the same thing.
It's the tolerant left. Yeah, you know, just seeing Hitler
everywhere. And
I love it. When Tina comes home every day, you know, it's
inevitable that she's in a in a B ish environment. And she'll
come home and she'd be like, Oh, my God, what, what happened now?
And I have to almost I have to kind of work on it like the
programmer a little bit, you know? Like, well, why can't he
just do why does he just shut up and like, okay, okay, let's just
sit down for a second. Let's see what's going on. And because
usually, I've missed all of it, because I'm doing other things.
You know, I tried to stay away from all dimensions during,
during my normal my normal hours of business. And it's just like,
well, what's it and I can't even find what what is so egregious
that you really have to reach out he said, Hell, and then I
see the Hitler Youth things coming through. Oh, my God. This
is just insane. Completely insane.
He then later he talked to some other youth group, which I
actually saw the live feed of. Because they had a live feed
come down the satellite into the ABC group locally, which is
online, and it was a dissembler group. It was a bunch of kids,
that it's like a Boys and Girls Club donated is some group of
kids that are run by the VFW. I never even heard of these, this
club. Interest and, you know, he was just being his, you know,
it's the Trump has to Trump's is that Trump, that is the affable
big audience. Let me just add live a speech and say what I
feel like Trump is that guy. And then there's the other guy who
reads from a prompter, you know, reads what he's told and he and
three, there's a tweet tweeting Trump to this week,
which was tweeting Trump as a teleprompter Trump then there's
the totally off script Trump.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Is that awesome? Script Trump is
the funniest. He goes in front of all these kids he says, And
he keeps saying is this a great place to be right now and in the
kids y'all yay this is I can't hear you and they yell louder.
You know, this kind of thing. Aren't you all happy to be here
this is great. And at some point I felt that he was giving a
guide now I'm reading into it from a from the wrong dimension
probably but I'm real pride from the dimension be I'm reading
into when he's getting the kids is how great it is to come visit
the White House. I'm kind of getting the impression he's
needling this the Golden Gate warrior Golden Gate Golden State
Warriors not showing up yet because they didn't want to come
to the see the president because they went to see the black
president, this guy is not black. So we're not going
and you know, the the black president, the way you put that
nice, missed his invitation to the Boy Scouts of America
because he had a previous engagement. And you know what
his previous engagement was? Golf, clothes and appearance on
The View. So he couldn't go, it couldn't be a part of it.
Anyway, all of this spills over into the mainstream media. And
actually, I caught this on MSNBC, to guy's name, Roland
Martin, and an MSNBC hostess. I actually called him on it.
Here's the deal large rallies for Donald Trump. That's his
crack. He's addicted to it. He is a crackhead when it comes to
large crowds,
I'm like, yeah, now you're talking he is a crackhead. And
you notice how he slips into little black kind of like he's a
crackhead. Yeah, he cheated a little black? Yes. Very nice.
Very nice. I like and As you can see crackhead
rallies for Donald Trump. That's his crack. He's addicted to it.
He is a crackhead when it comes to large crowds coming here hold
on. Farley here again about being respectful.
On a second. No,
this is the President of the United States with an adrenaline
addict
if you want to find
his crack. That's his fix. Gets it from a large crowd. He loses
letting up. I love that. I thought that was really good
that says, Eat a crackhead when it comes. Yeah. Da. I mean, you
could describe it in many ways. I agree. I like crackhead a lot,
though. And that was good. Appreciate it. And then Brennan,
former CIA director, key was at it. I guess the aspirin
conference is that on again? The we're all the spring cotton
aspirin conference? Yes. The notorious red conference in
Aspen, aspirin, Colorado, which of course is hosted by Insider.
Broth. Blitzer.
Yeah. And it's the whole operation is run by the Isaacson
the
hedge fund guys at a hedge fund wise extends
the next journalist it we kind of associated with the one of
the agencies, we don't know which one for sure. CIA
probably. He's the one who writes these big fat books out
of the blue. Yeah. And meanwhile, runs all these
operations and seems unlikely anyone has that much energy or
time but okay.
Well, he said something very interesting, you
know, be addressed sooner rather than later in terms of what is
there if there's nothing there, let's move on. But this is where
the work of Robert Muller is critical to our future as a
country because I, you know, in some respects, we're a
government and a nation in crisis right now. Oh, you have
confidence in this special counsel? Absolutely. You both
worked with him for a long time when he was head of the FBI.
Absolutely. It was a
douchebag as a draw. Yeah, Bob, he's the best Bob will take care
of by our
choice.
They don't come any better.
And nobody better than no better Balzers straight shooter,
intimidated by any
fired by Mr. Trump or tempted to be fired with Mr. Trump, I hope,
I really hope that our members of Congress, elected
representatives are going to stand up and say enough is
enough. And stop making apologies and excuses for things
that are happening that really flout I think our system of laws
and government, when you say
that he has had fast talking style of Leave It to Beaver,
he's gonna He's gonna double down on this. So we say guy,
Congress should stand up and both appropriately says, What do
you mean by
that using excuses for things that are happening that really
flout? I think our system of laws and government,
when you say enough is enough? Fire, and he's the president
united states, so he could tell Rosenstein to fire him if he
wants. But if he's fired, what would you want Congress to do?
First of all, I think it's the obligation of some executive
branch officials to refuse to carry out some of these orders
that, again, are inconsistent with what this country is all
about
easy calling for mutiny. Sounds like is that people should just
ignore the orders. I think that said, Yeah, I'm just listening,
for sure.
So I think it's the obligation of some executive branch
officials to refuse to carry out some of these orders that,
again, are inconsistent with what this country is all about.
But I would just hope that this is not going to be a partisan
issue.
Is he calling for a coup? Maybe. But me he's calling for
something. I think that's kind of borderline what he's doing
there.
Yeah, I think so too. He's not a patriot. Now, there is a bunch
of right wing rumors floating around that Mueller, Mueller.
Mueller, Mueller vor. Muller is going to go after Hillary, but
they don't want to talk about it. And then and to make that,
I think is this is just wishful thinking. I don't think that's
true.
By the way, I'm in total agreement, which I think is
wishful thinking. But they the way the thinking goes is that
Muller is laying low, but he's gonna go after Hillary and the
hit and the Clinton Foundation. And the whole thing with Jeff
Sessions is just a ruse to keep because if for people that don't
know Trump is tweeting nasty things about his
generals. Okay, explain explain how that fits in.
Well, it makes it look like the White House is trying to get rid
of sessions because of because they're scared to death that the
Muller investigation is going to turn something up the Russians
with the Trump and events to get into the finances of the kids
and find out that his wife was you know, a porn star who knows
obsessions, things are possible.
Okay. All right. Yeah, the other clip you got something to listen
to.
I got no clips. Oh,
it's too bad. I see you have a sessions clip.
I do, which was the other session? Yeah. Well, this will
bring us up to speed on sessions. This is the session.
Yeah, this is. This is I have a little point to make after you
play this clip.
President Trump in the Rose Garden today, once again
attacking his own attorney general for recusing himself
from the Russia investigation.
I am disappointed in the attorney general. He should not
have recused himself.
Sessions made the decision because he served on the Trump
campaign and has gotten bipartisan praise for the move.
Still, today, the President called on sessions to focus his
attention elsewhere for one
of the Attorney General to be much tougher on the leaks from
intelligence agencies, which are leaking like, rarely have they
ever leaked before at a very important
level. But Mr. Trump stopped short of firing him
we will see what happens. Time will tell. Time will tell.
Yeah. That's when you got to start looking on LinkedIn when
you hear your boss say that.
Now I find out why when I worked for the air pollution district,
we had a deputy something or other who has random hope,
random Enforcement Division and a ship kind of an interesting
tough guy named John Donovan. And John Donovan was I got a
kick out of the fact that he would always have these bimbos
around him. We when he laughs, read some girl, a woman would
come over and they go out to dinner with them. And they're
always somebody who think that guy really existed. He was a
short kind of a funny looking guy that had no real except for
the word nice suits. He had no like and Anthony Scaramucci.
Yeah, exactly, exactly. He was always dressed to the Tanzania.
And he always had these babes that would come over that were
going they would go out with me, they're always different. And
then somebody commented that, Man, that guy really has a Trump
must have a charm or something going on, because he's got he's
women. And I had to point out, because I was floating around an
area that had a lot of Booker's. And he was just hanging out with
a lot of escorts Oh, and, and Donovan was a one of these
manager types that really got on your nerves, because his members
would always end with something like a word to the wise.
Or then there's other way that's kind of threatening.
Yeah, a word to the wise, he just put it on stuff. Commonly,
and this is like Time will tell. Yeah, I find guys who do that to
be some of the worst managers imaginable. They're very
annoying. They keep you on edge. And maybe that's the idea, keeps
you on edge makes you nervous, makes you fearful for your job
has all kinds of the just I don't like it. I don't like
them. And when when Trump says time will tell, and then he says
it twice. Yeah. I just like this is a guy wouldn't want to work
for. I just wouldn't want to work for a guy like that.
Now, that's what I said. You know, you hear that from your
boss. Okay, there you go.
It's like, constant threats. Yeah. I mean, it's not you know,
I also don't see Trump has taken one for the team.
But I know, but I also don't see. I just don't see the point.
i You said it had something to do with that being a
distraction. Just go back to that for a second.
Well, I'm thinking in a in a in the sense of a giant conspiracy,
or Trump is trying to make sure that if there's an investigation
of Hillary and Bill, they're not shredding documents, because I
think it's going on, they're just dead at it, I'm fine. And
so you want to you want to create a smoke screen and the
thing was sessions looks like it might be a smoke screen that
helps. You know, keep people's eye off of one. Well, here's
that here's a thought. Do you think that sessions may be in on
it? Like, Jeff, listen, dude, because they're really good
friends when they were doing here's what's gonna happen?
Yeah, I need to just be calling you out. You just gonna have to
take this crap because dot dot?
Yeah. Hmm. I think that's a possibility. I think it's a
possibility. I don't know what what kind of a possibility. So
it's
the first time that this has come up about something the
President has done? Well, I actually am considering that to
be a possibility. And it's always always just creating a
diversion of smoking meth and usually not. This just seems he
had to say it once but to continuously carp on the UI.
Yeah, he's going overboard. Yeah. So so there is something
it's something I'm going overboard I
wouldn't be so suspicious right. Now. Maybe
he says, well, it's sessions really taken to one for the team
then. Big time. You imagine that? Yeah, I'm gonna have the
president he's gonna have to say to
you, Well, time will tell. Now
that's patriotism right there ladies and gentlemen. Have the
President call you out as a douche. Nice. Oh, good on you,
Jeff if it's true, yeah. In the meantime, I'd like to thank you
for your courage and say in the morning to you John Sue UNSC
stands for community Devorah back
in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry. Also, in the morning all
shifts to see boots on the ground feet in the air subs in

see you all there. Everybody all lined up and ready and good to
go with the snark. As usual. In the morning to comic strip
blogger, he bought us the artwork for episode nine or four
nine or the bro Splosion. It was a very devious looking elephant
that made it into the album art, which we appreciate. And there's
reasons for that, if you heard episode nine for nine. Yeah. You
would know why. And it was perfect. It was a number of
other good pieces, but I think this one really hit home for us.
We liked it. And of course we thank all of our artists who
submit art at no agenda, art generator.com It's always
beautiful to see.
And actually that great elephant bit. We really got very little
in this response for that it shows like

myself, I guess a newsletter wasn't you know, making it
clear. 1-234-567-8910 1112 people in total took part in the
great celebration, you get that little thing that a little horn

things. I don't know why it cracks me up so much. It's a
perfect was just the perfect goat. Hi, John and Adam. I'm a
first time contributor partly by dereliction partly by design.
During the last election I was befuddled and anxious about the
obviously biased M S M media coverage. My smart son Nick from
Walnut Creek. I don't know what the other scents are. But this
is Nick from Walnut Creek. He hit me in the mouth and said
Mom, don't watch network news or cable news. Listen to the
podcast no agenda. I began to listen to your shows more and
more and realized that your media deconstruction and
quirkiness helped keep me sane. Sane, she says amid the ongoing
political craziness, realizing a couple of months ago that you
have a show on my birthday today. 727 50 So she does what
she gave. We honor what the 50s you got to do with it? Well,
maybe she's 50 We anyway, she says we must resist mindless
progressivism politicized science and biased MSM. So I
would like to hear and then I gave it a little gotta listen
she says that she says thanks for the great job. Keep it up.
Janet from Brentwood.
Thank you very much Janet then was there a significance to the

Please dare somebody remix. Okay.
Yeah. Well, all right. I did receive one but you know, what's
happening is we're getting more and more instead of stuff being
really cut on the beat. We're just getting like, you know,
pieces of a story over a beat. You actually complained about
this after the show last time?
Yeah, yeah. What I don't like is I like techno and all the rest
of it. But of course, the thing that was fabulous than using
that word of previous to some of the stuff we're getting now was
where someone say nono nono nono nono, nono, nono, nono, nono
Batman or there was some you know where you are where you're
doing stuff that is got some sort of use of the sound of the
of the sayings the sounds of the clips or whatever, that kind of
go with the music not just just us babbling about stuff and and
some some non descript music bed underneath it. That's kind of
cool. And maybe you dreamed it up for yourself and you're on
your keyboard, but it's not interesting.
Nice, forgotten that one. Good one.
And there you have it. All right. Anyway, that's our group
of producers. Executive producers, Associate Executive
Producer for show. Celebratory show. 950.

well, you make it a new sound with it. Do it again. Same Key,
it's beautiful. Very similar. All right. These are official
credits, executive producers and Associate Executive producers
who just received them. We always give these credits up
front just like Hollywood does, you see that all the time. And
these are very, very, it's exactly the same whether you're
producing songs or artwork or giving us information or
definitely helping with the finances, which is what most
people do, because they don't have those other talents. It is
highly appreciated. Thank you very much and use these credits
wisely. Where, again, we come back to LinkedIn, people like to
put that on their resume, and you get views for sure. We'll be
thanking more people $50 And above later on the program, and
we have another show coming up on Sunday. Please remember us at
devora.org/a
on the weekend, that means you'll be out hanging with the
bras, why don't you propagate the formula? Our formula is
this. We go out for yet people in the mouth.
And must have at least been four emails this week, from parents
who were turned on to the show by their kids, whether older
kids, not necessarily really young kids, but late 20s 30s,
which is nice.
Yes, I'm happy dad isn't happy to go we're getting. We're
getting a cultural mix. We're getting a generational mix in
and out and got a lot of notes from people about the concept of
those two millennial groups.
Yeah, yeah, I gotta you have that note handy. We got someone
confirmed it actually.
Well, I don't know if I know I don't have it handy. But I can
dig it up. I do want to bring up a topic though, that I that I
just wanted. This is just kind of an in passing thing that came
from I was reading the London Review of Books. And there's
this article by David Bromwich. It's kind of a Trump basher. But
it was it had a couple of paragraphs in here that I want
to read because it brought to mind something I didn't
consider. This is the end of the article is bitching and moaning
about stuff. He says mainstream media are using their Peck of
Trump a day to keep ratings high while making it impossible for
him to govern. Just a thing Fox did for 16 years to Bill Clinton
and Obama. The retaliation is symmetrical and warranted, but
it does nothing to advance the cause of a political opposition.
The Democrats still looking to retrieve the stolen election,
but uncertain what opening to pursue and seem almost united
and pushing for confrontation with Russia, guided in this vise
of unvaried died of the media and the mythology of the Cold
War in epoch whose non mythological terrorists few of
them experienced as adults. Unlike me, and you to something
I think the same extent by keeping Trump in the news as
both enemy and a source of a scandal, they prevent their own
fresh talents from ever appearing on the front page.
Well advises they may be about Russia's intervention or not.
And Trump's depravity or not, they're looking to I'm putting
in the orange dots, by the way not understand. They are looking
for a police detective solution to a political problem. And what
this brought to mind when I was reading this was the following
idea. One of the reasons Trump won the election, and I think
people still complain about this is that the media was giving him
so much attention, that he was just in the news all the time
75% of the article, which by
the way, has now turned into positive media attention.
He's still getting the same over attention by the media. Yep. So
nothing has changed. And so the Democrats and the effect of
people that hate Trump and that will say the wall Washington
Post, the New York Times CNN and MSNBC. I remember when MSNBC for
example, actually stopped the program. I think it was Rachel
show and they they put a Trump speech on. Yeah, I guess to
ridicule it later. I'm not sure what they would do. Yes,
yes, that's exactly what kind of crazy will happen now.
Yes, exactly. And they would never put a Bernie speech on
Bernie gives many speeches. He was getting bigger. Trump often
Yeah, they would never do well,
but they had a they had a separate memo to not highlight
Bernie. Right. Bernie was a different man. And and to be
honest, a Bernie is boring on TV. His speeches were okay, man
boring.
The point is, is that the media what they were doing to get
Trump elected, they're still doing well, this
ties in neatly too. And I really want to read this list with a
house resolution that has been introduced by Mr. Cohen. And a
whole slew including Mr. Al Green, Mr. Carson, Ms. Lee,
Watson, Coleman, Boyle, and on and on and on and on and on. All
the Democrats and that's where the resolution and we are very
familiar with, it's kind of meaningless the resolution, but
that always has a A resolved part at the end that, which
means we're going to have to take action on this. And it's
House resolution 456. And just just want to read the
warehouses, because this is all the grievances they apparently
have all in one document and that they're going to use to get
him impeached or waxy. When you when you hear the rest of the
resolve part, it's kind of tamed, but it's really
interesting to read what they're all pissed off about. Are you
ready for the list? Oh, yeah. Whereas on January 20 2017,
Donald J, Trump swore to quote faithfully execute the office of
the President of the United States and to preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the United States. That's that's
just the first whereas in other words, he's unconstitutional,
whereas the Constitution prohibits federal office holders
from accepting emoluments of any kind from a foreign state
without consent of Congress, whereas President Trump has
refused to divest place into a blind trust or otherwise give up
his ownership interest in his worldwide business holdings
since becoming president. Whereas President Trump has
refused to release his tax returns in a break from the
practice of the United States presidents for more than 40
years. Whereas on February 14 2017, the Chinese government
registered a trademark to Donald J. Trump for branded
construction services following a 10 year legal battle that
turned in Donald John Trump's favor, after he declared his
candidacy for President of the United States and will continue
whereas on February 27 2017, and March 6 2017, the Chinese
government granted preliminary approval of 38 new trademarks of
Donald John Trump and one of his companies, and the director of a
Hong Kong intellectual property consultancy said he had never
seen so many applications approved so expeditiously. And
the approvals closely followed President Trump's decision to
honor the One China policy in contrast to his earlier
statements. So there now it's a little new here, it's like, oh,
let's stop there. Trump,
when are you gonna read the following line is important.
Whereas President Trump did not first seek or obtain the consent
of Congress before accepting any of these trademark benefits from
Congress.
Trump in that commentary are that whereas they talk about
Trump accepting the One China policy, it was the same
Democrats. When Trump took the call from the Taiwanese
president. Yes, out of order, which he shouldn't have done.
They condemned him for not following the One China policy.
He knuckled under because of the Democrats bitching about him
taking that phone call that that's the root of his one China
policy. So what are they bitching about in this thing?
Well, they're going to try and get them on technic they're
trying to that's all about looking for a technicality.
Yeah. With all the emoluments clauses, it will continue, then
it's crazy because this is exactly like you said, being
self when you come to the health, the accusing people of
what they are guilty of themselves. Could you know that
all these people are on the take all of them, they all have deals
and getting all kinds of goodies and trips and stuff. Anyway,
whereas President Trump owns approximately 77% of the Trump
old post office LLC, which holds a lease from the General
Services Administration to operate the Trump International
Hotel in Washington DC. Whereas the Trump International Hotel in
Washington DC has actively courted foreign diplomats for
their business. And according to public reports since the
November 2016, election election, diplomats have made
plans to stay at the hotel to curry favor with Donald John
Trump sorry, I take offense with using Monday. Whereas some
diplomats have said spending money at Trump's hotel is an
easy, friendly gesture to the new president. Whereas in late
January 2017, a lobbying firm working for the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia paid for a room at the Trump International Hotel in
Washington DC after Inauguration Day as part of its effort to
bring activist to Washington to urge Congress to repeal the law
letting 911 victim's family sue the kingdom. And they go on was
reporting taken into on and $70,000 in payments tied to
Saudi Arabia for expenses including lodging, catering and
parking expenses. It correct me if I'm wrong, didn't he
explicitly say that all profits from the DC hotel, the Trump
International Hotel would be given to the Treasury?
I don't remember that. I do. Okay. Somebody
said that. Okay. So the so they're trying to get
the shit that would end that controversy. Then we have
I'll skip the dates whereas the Embassy of Kuwait held its
National Day celebration at Trump International Hotel in
Washington DC was the Ambassador and Permanent Representative
Georgia to the United States stayed at Trump International
Hotel in Washington DC, whereas President Trump did not first
seek or obtain the consent of Congress before accepting any of
the benefits from foreign states derived from their patronage of
the Trump International Hotel on Washington DC. You see what's
going on here. And it just keeps on going and back to China.
Trump owns Trump Tower and mixed use skyscraper in New York. At
least two of the Trump Tower tenants are entities owned by
foreign states, including the industrial Commercial Bank of
China, which is owned by China and Abu Dhabi tourism and
cultural authority, which is owned by the United Arab
Emirates. And just goes on and on. Yeah, this is a good one.
Where's the President is an executive producer of The
Apprentice and the state owned television station BBC One in
the United Kingdom pays licence fees to broadcast the show. And
Trump has not weighed Trump has not sought or obtained the
consent of Congress before accepting benefits from the
United Kingdom or any other foreign government in the form
of licensing fees for the apprentice. This is how far this
is going to be because our our most favorite partner and all
the world, the United Kingdom. There, they might have control
over the president because of the licensing fees sent to him
by state by state TV. Then it goes into a whole bunch of all
of the Comey stuff. It just got this list, John, there must be
50 items on this. Whereas Trump has appointed his son in law
Jared Kushner serve as an envoy to foreign leaders despite
having no diplomatic experience. Wow. Whereas the United States
foreign policy has long been based on both our nation's
interests as well as our values including democracy, freedom of
the press and promotion of human rights. When speaking about
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, President Trump said,
we agree on so many things. I just want to let everyone know
in case there was any doubt that we are much behind President Al
Sisi, he's done a fantastic job in a very difficult situation.
Whereas el Sisi rose to power in a coup. And his country anti
government protests have been banned freedom of press and
freedom of religion have been repressed. Some independent
human rights groups have been banned. It just goes on and on
and on and on. Our president is a is a dickhole he's no good.
Here, dude, this is a congressional focus a little
more congressional document. June 29. President Trump tweeted
I heard poorly rated at Morning Joe speaks badly of me. I don't
watch any more than how come low IQ crazy Mika along with psycho
Joe came to mar a Lago three nights in a row around New
Year's Eve insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from
a facelift. I said no. To the putting his insults is
everything is in here.
Tweet insulting tweet. Yeah, yeah. Talking about Yeah,
brother, and then
here, winding it up. And I'll get to the result. On February
16. President Trump's that his 2016 election victory was quote
the biggest electoral college wins since Ronald Reagan.
Whereas Donald J. Trump proceed through electoral yes lies.
Barack Obama received more 332 Bill Clinton 379 George HW Bush
foreign and 26. Whereas when President Trump was presented
with facts about the size of his predecessors electoral victory
margins at a press conference on February 16, he responded, I
don't know I was given that information. I actually I've
seen that information around. Now, therefore be it resolved
right after that, after that last bit, so he's a douche. He's
nuts. He's a liar. He's taken money. It is therefore resolved
that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that
one. Based on the conduct described in the preamble, the
House of Representatives has no confidence that President Trump
is faithfully executing the Office of the President of the
United States and to President Trump should release his tax
returns, placed his private business assets in a blind trust
or to divest from them. Donate to the United States Treasury as
he promised any personal gift he is well, there you go. He has
made from foreign patronage of hotels in which he has an
ownership interest refrained from taking any action that
results in taxpayer money being spent on goods or services from
businesses in which he has an ownership interest, such as Mar
a Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, the Trump National Golf Course
in Bedminster, New Jersey, and the Trump National Golf golf
course in Sterling, Virginia, see congressional consent for
all and any emoluments that he has received from foreign
countries. Refrain from using Twitter inappropriately,
including refraining from posting comments that could
adversely impact United States foreign policy. Wow, chef's
slave, do you believe that they put that they had the balls to
put that in a document, refrain from using Twitter
inappropriately? Support the First Amendment support freedom
of the press refrain from calling reporting fake news.
Refrain from posting video of himself wrestling with the press
logo and stop limiting full electronic press access to White
House press briefings. This is insanity John
is borderline insane. It is insanity. Your right is nuts.
And he
must unequivocally acknowledge that Russia interfered in the
2016 United States presidential election and work to protect our
electoral process from any future foreign interference.
refuse any offer to form any kind of cybersecurity unit with
the Russian government to purportedly protect the United
States from election hacking, respecting the independence of
our nation's judicial branch, respect members of Congress and
refrain from using derogatory nicknames for them, oh, you call
me in bad name, you made a joke about me, and conduct United
States foreign policy in a manner that reflects the United
States traditional role as leader of the free world, which
is typically going out there and killing people. So please get
back to killing people the way we used to do it. Why make deals
in Afghanistan? I mean, I don't know if you saw this President's
aides, someone he read. He read, you know, for Chan, and say, oh,
there's a trillion dollars worth of minerals in Afghanistan. He
immediately calls up the president over there today, we
could probably do something with this, these minerals. These are
good for iPhones and other things. And maybe, I don't know
if he said this, but maybe you could stop me. I'm making the
drugs that are killing our kids. That's, that's what he's doing.
As opposed to, here we are big swing and Nick will kill you.
Because that's how we always do it. They want to get back to
that.
Yes, of course, a lot of money from the defense industry. But
this more of that list of
this document shows you that all these people on this house
resolution really have too much time on their hands. They are
not doing the business of the people.
No, no, it's mostly the Black Caucus.
Well, Maxine Waters would be on here then wouldn't she? She is.
Oh yeah. Ms. Maxi Ms. Hey, Ms. Maxie, and
Ms. Magazine. She married. And it's probably Sheila Jackson
Jones, whatever her name is Sheila Jackson. Shirley Jones
has on there. Julie Jones is on there. Sure. And that guy did Al
Green.
Out agreeing the singer Shirley Jones, the actress, Maxine
Waters, the actress?
Well, why those guys are spinning their wheels. I was
listening to the net neutrality.
Oh, my goodness. And then we have to go back. And we have to
talk about this again. Because people, they get hypnotized by
all these groups that are funded by Google IFTT, for freedom for
the future
at Google is George Soros of net neutrality. Boom, there
you go. You finally made no agenda quote.
So we have a couple of things. I've just kind of got three
clips. And I just wondered, there's a subtext. And my
favorite thing is, the whole panel of congressmen are all in
on this. We got to do net neutrality, we got to do net
neutrality. And this new ad, the new FCC is in there was some
kind of guy named pi who runs it now. He's like, kind of fast
talking. I don't even know what his ethnicity is. I can't tell.
And then he could be Indian. It could be Filipino. I use just
one of those just can't tell. And he can't tell by his name
either. And he's got he doesn't really answer questions. He just
kind of Bumbles along, but I want to play these clips with
it. And I want to do to pay careful attention to the subtext
of the questions being and what what's up ahead up in the row?
What's up the road ahead?
Do we need do we need to set the stage at all about net
neutrality before we jump into this so people can at least
understand why you want
to you want to do that? Yeah,
I think we should, if you start us off,
okay. Net Neutrality, of course, is a is a discussion that
started some time ago about net flows. Net worth is great fear,
the great news is a great, by the way, there's nothing that's
happened that makes any of the net neutrality arguments valid,
that does nothing. The Comcast isn't slowing down your internet
because of their city because so they can make more money that
they're slowing it down.
You're doing a horrible job stop. Okay, I'll tell you what's
going on. What's going on is groups funded by no longer
Netflix, by the way, they're out. They got what they wanted.
They're good to go. But it's still still Amazon. It's still
Google, it's going to be Facebook, it's a really big
players who do who shove more data than Netflix, believe me,
there's so much data. And if you know how the Internet was built
with peering agreements, pierogi agreements or peering
agreements. Everyone manages their own network. And these
companies want to ensure that there's some kind of legislation
that they can be dinged by these now. Rolled up networks we have,
you know, Time Warner, Comcast really huge, huge ISPs instead
of a whole collection of smaller ones. They see the writing on
the wall of these guys are gonna say, Well, you put in a lot of
traffic our way so you know, and we have routers that have to be
upgraded. And so now you have to pay for it. That is what's going
on. And they bring this in, in a very, very, very convincing way.
A that gets people all riled up about will. But then, you know,
I won't be able to watch my favorite YouTube podcasts
because they might be slowing down for something else, some
commercial stuff. And that is everyone's been playing, which
is why I wanted you to explain your position because you had
the great beginning argument. I pick it up with, as far as I'm
concerned, this is all about finding a way to let the
government control the internet.
And that is the ultimate conclusion, which I completely
agree with.
This is the long term goal. The FCC in particular, has seen a
rise in cable TV, which they've wanted to get control of. And
they have been unable to do that. They right now control
broadcasting with their rules. So you can't cuss on a TV show.
And you can't do this. You can't do that you can't have this kind
of program that like they
tell the journalist what they have to produce.
Well, that's CBS and, and everybody. The point is, is that
the FCC likes the idea of controlling the messaging that
comes through the over the airwaves, and they'd love to do
the same thing with cable TV, although they've never been able
to manage that. But they have this opportunity to do it with
the internet, by gate by sit getting the set and I think they
could there are human is somehow I think it kind of works where,
well, unlike cable, which is really just kind of a locked
down thing. You got to subscribe to it. It's not like a free and
open to everybody. So we can't get a handle on that. It's like
we can't really the FCC can't censor movies, for example, on
the at the movie theater. They'd love to but they can't they used
to be at an operation that did
that there wasn't you know, it didn't the ratings board.
Well, that's that's the board. There's yeah, there's a board
that used to keep you from having tickets. For example, on
a movie. I didn't like that word. Before the word before the
board came into existence in the early 20s. I'm not I'm sorry,
early 30s and late 20s. There was a lot of breasts being shown
look around the movies. And you go wow, look, and then they know
more and have that anymore thought
for the breasts You are ruining.
But the FCC is one of these regulatory agencies that light
likes to regulate, it's what they do. So what you want to
listen for when you listen to these people talking about net
neutrality is you want to listen to how much does the government
really want to encroach, or maybe even take over the
internet. And it starts right away with this guy. And this is.
This is Greg Wald. And he's a Republican from Oregon. And he
is the hay is and this is an oversight subcommittee, but he's
actually the head guy of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
He's the chair and he is a very powerful person. And just listen
to the question he asked this is net neutrality basics opening,
including Comcast AT and T, Verizon and Charter
Communications, inviting each of them to come and testify before
our full Energy and Commerce Committee. It's time for
Congress to legislate the rules of the internet, and stop Pong
game of regulations and litigation. And make no mistake
given the importance of this public policy debate. And the
work we need to do as a committee. It is essential that
we hear directly from the country's top internet and edge
provider leaders who frequently speak out publicly about rules
of the internet. It's time they came before us and directly
shared their positions, and answered our questions.
Wow. Yeah, I think there's some subtext there
is a little more than subtext. No time to stop
this, the series of tubes. That's the guy when
he said the quote, it's time for Congress to legislate the rules
of the internet. Boom, Shaka? Could it be any more clear? Does
anybody out there listening?
License podcast license? It's coming? Oh, yeah.
Let's go to net neutrality basics to this is interesting.
And of course, Chairman Pi has commenced a proceeding to
examine returning regulation the internet to the bipartisan
framework that made it the economic engine that it is
today, as we wait for this process to take its course, the
future of the greatest economic engine of modern times is
clouded with uncertainty, with a growing recognition that the
time is now for legislative action. We offered a way forward
on net neutrality in 2015. I believe now, as I did, then,
that we should work together to write bipartisan legislation to
protect the internet from bad actors who want to use their
unfair advantage to block throttle or in other ways, age
and bad behavior. People deserve no less. We stand right Ready to
act?
Yeah. And you'll you'll recall the last time we went through
this rigmarole with the net neutrality bullcrap debate. We
read the proposed legislation which talked about illegal
network traffic. Yeah. Which would be BitTorrent, which would
be or there could be tons of stuff. Anything
that could possibly be stealing a movie. It's all about.
Yeah. Exactly. The dark web.
It boils down to stealing movies. Yes. And which is, you
know, getting easier. Although I have to say if you look at the
most of the movies is still already been through that
process and have long been on DVDs and the sales have dropped
off. Yeah, I haven't I have yet to find a good source of first
run movies still in the theaters available online. I just don't
think there's that there. I just don't think it's out
there. Go send it to John at the vorak.org. Not to me, I pay for
my entertainment.
I do too. I pay for my entertainment. I just like to I
monitor this stuff.
I did. Although I did lie. And I use the VPN and told the BBC
that I had already paid my licence fee to watch the SSRI
special on panorama.
Do they ask you for your mailing code? No,
no, they say you should register because pretty soon you're going
to have to register? So of course you say no, I'll do that
later. And then it says, Do you currently have a license? Yes or
no.
So they won't even let you watch their crap online. If you don't
have a license in London or wherever you are supposedly in
England? Yes.
Cheese. Yeah.
Well, you're stealing content I was. Now then the one they do
ask us direct question, which I thought was was interesting,
which is this the net neutrality direct question, and the only
one guy answers that honestly, request
is noted. Thank you. I now recognize the chairman of the
full committee, Mr. Walden.
Thank you, Chairman. Appreciate that. And again, dollar
commissioners, thank you for enlightening us with your
comments, your testimony. Chairman pi, there's been talked
about uncertainty, continued uncertainty around the future of
net neutrality. are you opposed to net neutrality?
Congressman, I've consistently said I favor free and open
internet as I think many members of this committee and most
Americans do.
Commissioner Clyburn, are you opposed to net neutrality?
I am not opposed to net neutrality. I am in favor, but
using the strongest legal tools at our disposal to uphold it.
Mr. O'Reilly? are you opposed to net neutrality?
I agree with the Chairman, I supported open Internet, I
turned many trails, it means so many different things these days
than once did. So I can't have them signing up for net
neutrality is currently definition means that every
packet has to be treated identically. And that to me is
not supporting by the current activities of the internet. So I
I don't support that definition of net neutrality now.
Very good, because that comes to your argument about
telemedicine.
Yeah, can have a guy being put back backs down the back of the
queue. If he's operating on somebody from a distance?
Well, you can if house of cards just came out. Screw your screws
screw with your heart operation. We're watching House of Cards
priority packets of priority packets.
So the last clip I have here is a very interesting one. It's a
guy with I don't know what he's got to what he's got to chew on.
But I was kind of confused by this. And I had to go look up
edge provider because edge provider to me. Before the
official definition came up by the FCC was always somebody
like, aka my or these guys who Yeah, yeah. who operate on the
edge that will enter yes, yes.
That was the marketing they use to edge provider. I think that
was a generally recognized term at the
time. Yeah, but now it's the apparently doesn't mean that at
all. Now it's a CDN. So let's play this clip. And this guy's
got a question. I don't I honestly believe he doesn't know
what he's talking about. I'm talking about the congressman. I
don't know if I've had wrote his name down. I think there's Mike
Doyle in Pennsylvania.
The analysis that you've cited about ISP investment seems to be
one sided. You talk about broadband investment by ISPs
alone, as an indication of the health of the marketplace, but
you discount investments that are being made by Edge
providers. You know, if the thesis of an open Internet order
was to promote this virtuous cycle of investment in
innovation online, why aren't you talking about edge
providers, the investments that they're making and the jobs that
they're creating?
I appreciate the question, Congressman, obviously, everyone
is Chairman Blackburn pointed out favors a free and open
Internet. The great challenge, however, is that there are
millions of Americans and I visited them from warrensville
West Virginia, to Michigan, South Dakota, are on the road.
long side of the divide, they are not getting the access, they
need to be able to participate in the digital economy. And to
the extent that these rules are impacting infrastructure
investment, my fear is that those folks are going to be left
out of some of the benefits that we get in terms of better
education and health care. And the like.
That's, that is a good conversation to have. I
like that. Yeah, that guy? Well, I don't think he answered the
question. Well, of
course not. Why would you do anything? To say the least? That
would be crazy. Yeah. So
what is an edge provider to you?
An edge provider would be? Well, I think that it's, I agree with
your original assessment. That's what we called. That's what we
define how we define an edge provider. Previously, I would
say these days, Edge providers are being viewed as the content
providers of the world. And pretty much so it'd be the
gallery view the quote from the definition. Yes, YouTube for
exam right Edge provides an edge provider. Now, the question in
my mind to Doyle from Pennsylvania is he's talking
about the edge providers making a difference in some What is he
talking about? With that question? I, I don't think he
knows what an edge provider is. Now, if he's talking about edge
providers, like YouTube, in particular, or Netflix, which
have their own giant pieces of equipment that they install at
the ISP, which has most of their content on that on that gear, so
they don't have to go to YouTube and ask for a clip and then
bring it in to their servers, and then serve it out to the to
their customer. Instead, they have these appliances, as they
like to call them which sit there and chew up and it's
expensive to operate. But it makes everybody happy now, and I
don't see what you know, okay, so that's, I guess, kind of
beneficial, but they do edge provider is, quote, any
individual individual. By the way. Here we go. Any individual
or entity that provides any content, any application or
service over the internet, and any individual or entity that
provides a device,
I am so happy about this. Finally, oh,
that provides a device used a device Chun.
The implication of this is huge. I can finally say, hi, nice to
meet you. I'm Adam curry edge provider.
You are an edge provider. Beautiful. But it also talks
about these information appliances. When it says device.
Any entity, that individual or entity that provides a device
used for accessing any content that again is that is the device
that sits on the iOS. So
here's what happened. here's the here's how it went down.
Originally, we had the edge providers, which would be aka
my, I guess you could even say CloudFlare, there's a bunch of
like the relay stations. And what happened was, that became
very expensive to have your own CDN or your edge provider.
Because those guys were just raping everybody with their 99th
percentile bullcrap billing. And we all know how that works in
total math wizardry to just take money out of your pocket. And
when you're funded by VC who gives a crap. But a certain
point, your data is so intense, there's so much data, you have
to move away. And I would say Amazon s3 is also was a version
of what we'd call an edge provider. And then they all kind
of go home. But here's a genius idea. Why don't we put a box
inside the three ISPs that are left in the United States, and
we'll only have to deal with them. We're not really even
going over the internet at all. We're just maybe we're doing
that remotely to update the boxes with the most recent with
the most recent film or TV series, and then we make a deal
directly with them. That is, that's what the edge provider
has now become that big CDN has been placed in I mean, how many
data centers? Do you really need to have 1000? Maybe 100? I mean,
to cover all of the US for sure. So you don't have to I don't
think you have to do that much. And that is now at them. That's
why they call and who is this definite is an FCC definition.
I believe so. Well, this is their poorly. The definition
comes from the rules. Yeah, but this rules let me read the
continue reading those rules also expressed the state that
abroad banned provider, quote, shall not unreasonably interfere
with or unreasonably disadvantage EDS providers
ability to make lawful content. Services.
I'm sorry, no agenda. Yeah, sorry. Your contents not lawful.
We're sorry.
Application Services are devices available to end users. Under
these rules, therefore, broadband providers appear to
owe duties to every website or application on the entire
internet. And this is new Hmm. Then I'm reading I'm reading
from Dow tell you what I'm reading from. So you know, this
is from an open Internet order puts edge providers in the
spotlight. This is an article in law 360 by a lawyer named
Christopher savage. Edge providers were not always in
such a privileged position. The agency's 2005 Internet policy
statement did not mention edge providers at all. The document
focused on the rights of consumers to access content of
their choice. Moreover, in part because it was framed as as a
statement of policy rather than a set of rules, the policy
statements keep provisions were framed in the passive voice
agency does not require or forbid broadband providers or
anyone else to do anything in particular. Instead, the policy
statement repeatedly declares that consumers are entitled to
various things leaving the question of from whom they are
entitled to receive the stated benefits.
I know I get it, this is very tricky is the very tricky
because this way, by saying we want the edge providers to come
and talk to us, well, let me just check my email. I don't
think I received an email as a as a premier edge provider. I'm
pretty sure according to their definition, no. Instead they
invited Google Facebook, you know, get get the sub guy or gal
from YouTube, Comcast, Spotify, they're gonna bring in all the
deuces
the big boys. This is for the big boy. Yeah, this isn't for
anybody. There's like the guy says, the consumer orientation
is over. It's about edge providers. That's right. Doyle
from Pennsylvania was promoting edge providers. Yeah. So it's
about YouTube. So so if you're got some little competitor, a
small like voodoo, or one of these guys that competes, for
example, with Netflix, who doesn't even care anymore,
because they own the place? You're screwed. I just got
to tell void zero. But listen to me for a second. He's been very
helpful posting in the back channel, but now he's in the
main chat. This is not about it, because he's like, that's not
what, that's not what an edge provider is. It's a you know,
it's like Cloudflare. And there's different reasons. Yeah.
The whole point, this is why it's important that I stop and
say this, they're changing the definition, on purpose. It is a
lie, they are changing it in order to pretty much legislate
everything. So they're just saying, Oh, yes, the edge
providers are now people who provide content. And the true
edge providers aren't Of course, Facebook and Google, etc. So
you're correct. It is a poor definition. It is a wrong, but
they're doing it with a very specific reason. And a lot of
people are falling lockstep right in line with this. I'm
looking at all you tech, horny podcasters like this, we need
net neutrality, otherwise you won't be cut off, you're gonna
have problems will be much bigger than what you think.
Yeah, and I want to go back and remind people what was said, by
that Chairman, guy when he says the Congress, let's play
legislate
the internet. Now this is going to be an evergreen, let's
just play it again, including Comcast AT and T Verizon and
Charter Communications, inviting each of them to come and testify
before our full Energy and Commerce Committee.
And by the way, Energy and Commerce Committee, what an
interesting committee to have to talk about content to Yeah.
It's time for Congress to legislate the rules of the
internet,
boom, boom, boom, I gotta I saw that, man. That's just too good.
Yeah. And that's Walden, the head of that committee. He's the
guy from Oregon. It's time
for Congress to just go ahead and legislate the internet.
Yeah. Now I want to remind people, including void zero, and
everybody else, that this was exactly what people were
bitching about 20 years ago when the internet first started
credits in the 90s. In the late in the mid to late 90s. Oh, my
God, we can't let the government get any involvement whatsoever.
Oh, they should be kept out
at an edge provider. His time they came before us and top
internet and
and the work we No, no.
Here it is commerce committee. It's touched the right that it's
time for Congress to legislate the rules of the internet. Oh,
okay. Hold on. And copy. We paste. Kaboom. And then I say
Congress, legislate the internet.
And I say I am before He played it. Go. I think it goes the bid
goes like this. Oh, hold
on. Hold on, John. I'm not quite ready with my ISO. Okay. We're
going to go
do that. Where did it go?
Yeah. Where did it go? Well, I mean that where the hell did it
go? Oh, here it is. Okay. Yeah, John, what's up?
Hey, Adam. Yeah, what time is
it? It's time for Congress to legislate the rules of the
internet.
Oh, this is childish humor, but I love it. Very good. I'm
keeping that one at the ready. We just need to play that at any
drop of a hat. We'll we'll need it.
Indeed, perfect. So there you go. I thought I think couldn't
be any more clear what's what's going on. But okay. Yeah. gonna
happen anyway, that this point, it's unstoppable. And one of the
things that kept coming up in this discussion was 12 point 5
million people wrote in and all what do you think they're all
said? We got to protect the internet. We had we need net
neutrality. There. Just 12 point 5 million. That's a lot of
notes. And those all those people came in with it with Yes,
yes, yes, is what we should do. And what it amounts to is it's
time for Congress to legislate the internet. And you go back 10
years and this was exactly this was the worst thing that you
could possibly imagine happening. It would be that it'd
be a disaster if that happened. And yet now everybody's
demanding it.
Do you know what? John, do you know what time it is? What time?
Less than 10 minutes to go. I'm going to show my school by Jonah
to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh
yeah, that'd be fun
we do people think I tricked you not a lot but enough. Michael
Maloney in Chicago he's become a night winner for eight hours in
Chicago. He sent a note email wise but we will Knight him.
That simple. All right, beautiful. DoDIG see if that
note has anything we will have
his name. I have his name. So you had a note somewhere he

a good group short, sharp and sweet but the ones who did
donate for 950 I feel loved.
Yes, and we thank you all in Great.
profusely, a lot of people, they they save up for episodes like
that and I appreciate it.
Yeah. Andy Kluber came in with boob bone Terre Haute, Indiana
and he just says sanity Rob Miller boob and he's got a
birthday coming up for dog biscuits. All right, so Robert,
the is Sir Robert. The dog biscuits not rob illustrated,
Robert the dog missed. It's heading to see the Olympic game.
By the way, the Olympic game farm is hilarious. What is then
there are numerous times what is the laser game farm, the Olympic
game park is like, like it's like a trip into the woods or
into Africa. And so you take your car and you drive around
this dirt road and there's like grizzly bears begging for food
and, you know, sitting on their butts and waving it's, it's
really strange. Yeah, I'm
just reading the rest of the note here. A real dude named Ben
here was both the name and the profession to match.
That's Rob Miller. That's different as a second Boom.
Oh, I'm sorry. boob tube.
No, this is the same. Same guy. I'm sorry. You're right.
No, no, it's Benjamin underneath. I'm sorry. My
mistake. Well, I'll read Benjamin's then. Okay, because
Okay, Benjamin real dude named Ben here was both the name of
profession to match. I'm not normally a Numerology guy. But I
was listening to Episode Nine and four nine are thinking I
have to donate 7777 for a fertility blessing for my wife
and I were shooting no pun intended for our first child. A
few minutes later, during the second donation segment, a
gentleman by the name of Ben blessing, donated 7777 It was a
sign I needed to finally rid myself of douchebag status and
donate. I'm not sure if you guys have already made jingle for
fertility blessing, but I would appreciate something along those
lines. But first of all, I just want to do
you spend d do. People don't
know that you actually are one of those guys that you have some
kind of you know, you have these powers. And usually if you're in
their presence, you can say oh, yes, no, you'd be pregnant soon.
And you can even tell them what they're going to have. So I
think you should do that for for Ben.
It'd be pregnant with a girl. Okay, good. Done. Your watch.
Now, Ben blessing that's an interesting coincidence that
triggered him. Interesting. I like it. All right. Onward. Doug

Sorry. Anonymous. Oh, I got a note from her. She's back. She
said a sweet note.
Wouldn't it be funny if Ben got pregnant after your blessing?
Yes, I don't think he thinks she sent it on the back of a piece
of sheet music. Dear John and Adam July 11. Here's what will
end up being a delayed birthday donation for myself, listening
to Episode 945. And hearing that, you know several fabulous
women quote unquote, born on July 11. motivated me to send in
a check and let you know that 711 is also my birthday. Wow.
That must be why you both liked me so much. Life is crazy as I

for your support. We'd really appreciate it. I did find
something of value on the Reddits. I did. Yes. Really?
Yeah. Well, actually was someone sent me an email and said, yeah,
there's sometimes it's good stuff. Look what I posted. And
it was an answer to my question about what's up with the Kagan's
What are all these guys doing?
Yeah, just a good question. What happened to the Kagan's? Well, I
mean, they are not quitting.
No. Glenn Greenwald, on Raph wrote a pretty good article on
the two and $50 million WordPress blog. And they have
created a new think tank called the Alliance for securing
democracy. And it's this is very interesting, because it's
Democrats and Neo cons together. And if I were the knee it were
the the original douchebag Neo cons, weren't they kind of all
in the Republican the Democrat party to begin with in the 70s?
They were communists, they were Marxist type, you know, radicals
in the 70s. Yes. And they thought they couldn't get
anything accomplished. And so they've slowly decided to change
the way they approach things and became the neoconservatives
because they were kind of conservative back then anyway,
and to join the Republican Party, and then kind of took it
over dominating the Bush administration, for sure. Well,
now they're all back together. Let me just by the way since
Hillary, it since Hillary I believe was very part and parcel
of the I mean, these groups, you know, they've kind of crossed
borders, they're there. They're by and they, yeah, so they get
people like Hillary's, to me is is a classic example of someone
who supports exactly your cause is a neocon. And so when Trump
comes in, and he comes up and kind of pushes back on the whole
neocon group, and it doesn't take Koch brothers, the Koch
brothers you push back on them so the Koch brothers out of the
picture, the the United Citizens United didn't defect a election
at all, so they're out of the picture, and the neocons were
out of the picture. So they're all out of the picture. They're
trying to regroup.
Yeah, well, they're all getting back together, and it's all
under the G M F, which is the the the German Marshall Fund of
the United States, and it falls under this alliance for securing
democracy. See, Monica. Lauren Rosenberger is the main staff.
She's director for the Alliance for securing democracy. And
she's a senior fellow at this think tank Jamie fly. I don't
know who he Oh, he was national security affairs adviser or
adviser to Marco Rubio. But now let's go look at the very
important Advisory Council, Mike Chertoff. We all know him, of
course, US Secretary of Homeland Security 2005 2009 TOOMAS
HENDRIK ILVES, who was the President of the Republic of
Estonia. And then we have some guy from international public
affairs.
That's interesting, the Estonian guy.
Yeah, he wants to bring in the European Union. During his
presidency, he lives he lives I think, was appointed to serve in
several high positions in the field of information and
communication technology in the European Union, previously
served as Minister of Foreign Affairs as the ambassador of the
Republic of the Estonia of Estonia to United States and
Canada. Navia also a member of Estonian Parliament as well as a
member of the European Parliament. So there's a reason
for it when you hear their mission statement is okay. Then
we have David J. Kramer. He's been the Florida International
University System Bill Kristol, biggest neocon, there is Mike
Morel total Democrat, Acting Director of Central Intelligence
Agency, Mike McFaul. He's a long term Obama administration was
he's first Special Assistant to the President, Senior Director.
I think you mispronounce
the morels full name. It's Mike Burrell. Right.
Right. Right. Exactly.
My inside joke, but,
but then we go from those guys to Mike Rogers. Total right wing
surge surge. You see Julie Smith, deputy national security
adviser to the US Vice President from 2012 2013. So Democrat,
Jake Sullivan and other Obama guy, Nicole Wong was he was
Chief Technology Officer for the Obama administration. So they're
all together, John, the Neo cons with the top with a lot of top
Democrat, certainly Obama Democrats to team members. And
here's the mission statement. You're going to love it. What do
you what do you think that what do you think they are in this
whole this whole group all these people? They're together? We
finally have no they found a new home. They're all going to be
together in this with the Democrats with the Hillary
Democrats.
single malt scotches.
No. Into a mission statement in 2016. American democracy came
under unprecedented attack. The government of the Russian
Federation attempted to weaken the pillars of our democracy and
undermine faith and confidence in our society's most
fundamental right, the ability to choose our own leaders. This
effort
was a bit hold on to they're basing this entire operation on
a false premise. You bet.
Wow. The effort was the only was only the latest of Russia's
repeated and ongoing efforts to undermine democratic
institutions and influence free and democratic elections
throughout Europe. Its success has led Vladimir Putin to
conclude that disruption is effective and comes with little
consequence. These assaults employ offensive weapons weapons
to attack and weaken democracy. Putin is Russia is seeking to
harm the national security of the United States and our
democratic allies and weaken us as nations by striking at our
core strength, the strength that enables us to protect and
advance our interests and prosperity. These efforts are
particularly insidious, because they seek to use our greatest
strength, our openness against us, in order to undermine our
democracy. It just goes,
maybe just go into a straight paper ballot, it would change
everything.
That's I would recommend it
seems like the thing to do. Yeah, I
think that should be it. Someone should introduce a bill.
You betcha. These idiots are also promoting Internet voting.
It's not in their mission statement. Let me see what they
have today. So it's all about Yeah, so the lions will forge
partnerships across the Atlantic with political leaders,
policymakers like minded institutions and technical
experts to address the urgent needs to secure our democracies
create a common understanding of the techniques used to undermine
democracies, and share lessons learned about effective
defensive and deterrence strategies, so they can sell all
this shit to everybody. Finally, we'll analyze emerging
technological and societal trends to identify areas of
vulnerability to the eventual challenge from other state and
non governmental actors who may attempt to replicate these
tactics. copycats. By analyzing what Russia is doing today, the
project We'll develop a shared playbook with recommendations
sounds expensive for Democratic leaders about how democracy can
better safeguard tomorrow. How about that? Huh?
Borderline drinking club day may have been right with my single
malt scotch.
I think you are right. Now there's more drinking clubs,
such as
well, that drinking club is gonna get some that's just I
think a lot of these drinking clubs. So these guys stay in
contact with each other. So when they come up with a really good
scam, they can get in on it. Yeah. I just don't think this is
it.
Anyway, let me see what I have. Let's do a little bit of EU
news. There's stuff that is not being covered in the United
States and Tina and I left just in time curious
on like a survey the scene of total devastation after
wildfires broke out overnight in southern France, French
authorities ordered the evacuation of 10,000 people as
far as jumped around the Riviera for a third day. Most of those
evacuated were residents who are given shelter in local
gymnasiums in New York. We were well received and they offered
food but we have no appetite. We took a few belongings quickly.
We closed the house and we left on we were afraid for our house
no feel for not on this other place was the latest of several
wind whipped fires that are threatening residential areas on
a peninsula west of Sandra Pei destroying more than 5000
hectares of land and injuring over 20 rescue workers. The
situation now appears to be under control. It's called Velma
in the VA region and at AF Teague, but not far from Marcy
and new Blaze is threatening the village of Cairo. in Corsica
fires have destroyed more than 2000 hectares of scrub land and
a new water dropping plane has arrived on the island.
So this got no traction, but it will and I can guarantee you
it's going to happen but didn't get any traction because the
only celebrity that who had to flee Her home was Joan Collins.
Just not relevant anymore. Sadly for her cuz her home was about
to burn down. But this weekend is the big retardo DiCaprio
celebrate it get together to save the world.
And that's a retarded DiCaprio
Leonardo fool I'm sorry. Leonardo DiCaprio. You know,
everyone will be there. And there'll be tons of coverage of
the fires.
Yes, you're right.
You can just wait for it you can just wait for it. Anyway, wish
everyone well with that. And we're not going to do rain
sticks because no French never donate. Here's here is what is
this? Oh yes. The latest from the UK
sales of new diesel and petrol cars will be banned in Britain
from 2040. The government has announced as it looks to improve
the country's worsening air quality. The move follows a
similar pledge from the French government earlier this month,
and we'll see over 250 million pounds divided amongst local
authorities to help them tackle rising nitrogen dioxide levels.
It's critically important that local and central government
work together, local government will know what's the right
solution and each individual city affected. But central
government is there with the money and the expertise to help.
The scheme
marks a shift away from traditional cars across Europe,
with the mayors of Paris, Madrid and Athens vowing to ban all
diesel vehicles from their city centers by 2025. That is not
just the politicians who are trying to make the world a
greener place. Various car manufacturers are heading down
the same road with BMW unveiling its new electric Mini. And Volvo
having recently announced that its car catalog will be entirely
electric or hybrid electric by 2019. You
know, I gotta tell you last night, we lost power for several
hours. I mean, there was I couldn't do any prep work. I
just I'm on our phones is all we had. And this is this is not
typical for a high rise building. And when you're on the
29th floor, I don't really don't like this. But I don't want to
have be stuck in an elevator and not have to walk down or worse
walk up. And do you notice I mean, how because we were about
to sit down and watch some TV you know, we always like scan
from Tucker to Cooper to Rachel scan around then it goes out and
you completely dead. And I'm thinking yeah, and how about
charging your electric car? I mean, it seems like such a dumb
idea to have everybody in electric vehicles is what is the
number one thing that we're always worried about the grid
the grid, the grid, the grid, oh so vulnerable the grid off they
get the grid if there's a EMP the grid yet everyone who I want
to battery car will drive charge from the grid I don't understand
a good point I don't understand any i Then I want to diesel and
that's the first thing that getting rid of is the diesels
because a diesel you can pretty much urinate in the tank
and it'll run you can you can put your salad oil in it Yeah,
you can put anything
in the diesel it's gonna run. Yeah, okay, maybe but even you
don't even want a petrol gasoline fired car You want a
diesel? And that's the one that is oh nasty diesels get out of
here. That's the ones are getting rid of first. Yeah, it's
uh you know if I wasn't a conspiracy conspiracy is since
easy to use. I'd say there's something up with that and we
shouldn't be so stupid.
Well that in the self driving element, which is also in play
now I do have a self driving car clip that kind of follows on
okay, but I want you to guess this is on CBS. I'm convinced
that this is native advertising. Oh, I'm sure so yes. Okay. Yeah.
And see, well, CBS is always ABC with me. But I got this on CBS.
And I'm thinking it looks like self it looks like I'm sorry, a
native app to me. You can kind of guess who it is.
Here in the United States car companies are racing to get self
driving cars on the highways. But what are the new rules of
the road as Chris Van Cleave reports? Federal regulators are
lagging behind.
Starting next year, a largely autonomous Audi hits the
highways I can take over anytime. This fall, students at
the University of Michigan will be hopping on this driverless
bus across campus. carmakers are promising mass market fully self
driving vehicles by 2021. And tech companies like Uber and
Google could deploy them much sooner. California is already
readying its roads replacing raised lane markers with six
inch thick solid lines, because they're easier for self driving
cars to see. But what's not ready are the rules. Scott Kia
from Audi so
I think we need definitions. We need the government and the
states to set laws that are all united unified around this. And
there needs to be a little bit less PT Barnum ism, when
everyone's throwing around these terms.
Right now, only 23 states in the District of Columbia have laws
on the books about self driving cars.
As this technology gets out on the road. We want to make sure
it is safe that it truly is ready for primetime. The
concept behind this bill is to try and make create some
certainty some clarity, so that people know what those rules are
going to be
that could happen in the coming days. Republican Senator John
Thune and Democrat Gary Peters plan to present rare bipartisan
legislation setting standards for safety, cybersecurity, and
guidelines to determine accident liability if no one's driving,
do you feel real deadline pressure then to get this done?
It's only a matter of time. And that horizon is coming very
quickly at us. And I think we have to be prepared for that.
Hopefully, we can all get around the fact that this is incredibly
exciting technology that's gonna save literally 10s of 1000s of
lives,
or create them. Our self driving car created 10,000 new people
because we didn't have to drive we were in the backseat. Yeah,
this is clearly a native ad for Audi Volkswagen Group, who only
in March announced its new subsidiary called the autonomous
intelligent driving. That's just what it's called AI D. And it
will work for the entire Volkswagen Group, which is Audi
Porsche, Volkswagen, Bentley Bugatti Lamborghini as and say
out and Skoda. Yeah, sure they're there. They have their
own they want to compete Iraq, they are. It's kind of
frightening, though, that the technology of self driving cars
is so pathetic that you have to have bigger lines so they can
see you know, where not to draw. Yeah,
I did not like that. No,
of course not. That's crazy. It's not nice at all. Well,
since you did that little tech news. I'm not gonna play the
jingle. But I figured we might as well play the tech news
that's passing his tech news and market. How does that sound?
Okay, yeah. Let's start with a well, this is kind of tech news.
ancestry.com or ancestry? dna.com. Have you seen these
commercials? Yes, I have, I find them to be creepy. And let's
listen to what this woman does. Here. You're Hispanic.
So when I got my ancestry, DNA results, it was a shocker. I'm
everything. I'm from all nations. I would look at forms
now and wonder what July Mars because I'm everything, and I
marked other
discovered the story only your DNA can tell. Now at ancestry
dna.com
This is fantastic. It's exactly what I predicted. That didn't
23andme ancestry dna.com All a part of making you feel like
you're part of one big world, no nations, no borders. We're all
the same people. So I just marked myself as other. And, you
know, ancestry and ancestry.com and ancestry. dna.com I believe
are owned by the Mormon church, I believe so who add that to the
the world's biggest database of people?
Yeah, they're doing a good job. Yeah. Yes,
they are the Google. They really truly are Google. Now. This the
I just love this. This commercial. We know the Amazon
they bid on whole foods. And everyone's all speculating. What
are they going to do? What What? What are they going to use,
these are things that keep the business going, or they do. The
very interesting deal. By the way, I saw that the whole foods
came out with great, great numbers for their quarter, which
makes the acquisition even more expensive. So it's just crazy.
So here is the Amazon Go, which is what you can expect, this is
their own commercial you can expect them to do cuz this is
opening up in Seattle, and seems like this is what they will
have. What will be going on at Whole Foods? Pretty much no
people. So you, I can explain it. And then I want you to hear
the commercial. See, you walk in, you have a QR code on your
phone, you scan it just like you're going through, you know,
some air airport terminals, you know, even like your boarding
card, you scan it, you go in, and then you just take anything
you want and put it in your bag. The minute you take it off the
shelf, it knows that you took it, then it adds it to your
shopping cart. You know, the to your bill, before you sign out
it. No, you took it. You're gonna hear you're gonna hear
some of the technolon Dude, machine learning. Okay, this is
the this is the whole point of this clip. And then you walk
out. So I'm sure it's done with Bluetooth and near field
technology, etc. But the way they make it sound is very
different.
Four years ago, we started to wonder what would shopping look
like? If you could walk into a store? Grab what you want? And
just go? What if we could weave the most advanced machine
learning computer vision and AI?
Machine learning computer vision and AI? John, can we weave that?
Yeah, I don't think so.
An AI to the very fabric of a store rule so you never have to
wait in line. No lines, no checkouts. No registers. No
people. Welcome to Amazon Go. Well, hello, I use the Amazon Go
app to enter. And put away your phone and start shop a shout
shop. It's really that simple. Take whatever you like. Anything
you pick up is automatically added
to your virtual car get ready for it.
If you change your mind about that cupcake, just put it back.
Oh, our technology will update your virtual cart automatically.
Dynamite. So how does it work?
How does it work?
We use computer vision deep learning algorithms.
Write it down this is for a column computer vision deep
learning algorithms
sensor fusion.
Oh wait. Um, so I gotta get the whole sequence. Here we go. How
does it work?
How does it work? We use computer vision, deep learning
algorithms and sensor fusion. Much like you'd find in self
driving cars.
Central fusion, I'm gonna go shop thank God Amazon's provided
me with some central fusion otherwise it will be very
difficult that
sensor fusion much like you'd find in self driving cars. We
call it just walk out technology.
Just walk out technology or JJ Watt
these people are crazy lady happens. So what happens when
let's say 50 inner city youth youths. Youths decide they're
just gonna go in and take everything out of the place. So
they go barrel in and go as a group, grab what they can and
leave. All the ammo is like half the store.
Amazon security will swoop down on you with the drone
what happens if you go in there and you just knock over a whole
display and it busted up all over the place? Just there's
nobody working there to clean it up. I am here to help you clean
up by and slips on it. And then used as soon as the store I mean
this is got disaster written all over this
is totally in line with what everybody is saying about carbon
emissions. Or I should say carbon dioxide emissions is we
need less people is gonna be great. Get rid of those people
who used to work at the whole foods, the baggers get rid of
the eggs just get rid of everybody. The people who know
about the cheese, don't want to talk to them. I'm sure there'll
be some screen that can tell me what cheese is best for my
muscles. Get rid of all that.
You know the funny thing is, is that whole foods, which is I
don't really think much of the store. They have a good
selection of certain kinds of things. And they have a checkout
system that's pretty efficient. I don't really I don't see
myself waiting in long lines again. Get out of there.
Because what the selling says is Oh, no lines when you go oh my
god, no lines, I'm just Breathing in breathing. No line
know what the story shouldn't be? Wouldn't it be great if we
had a business with no annoying employees? Yeah, that would be
great. I know, let's buy a really big brand and get rid of
all the annoying employees your number one deficit on your
balance sheet. Yeah. But I just liked all the technology that
we're deploying.
I mean, it doesn't so you guys have stuff we never heard of.
And by
the way, when our fragile grid dose goes down, Hmm, how about
you go now
it's 50 inner city, you do single barrel into the place
Hey, we tried to pay
it should all be in there. Amazon Go, go go love it. And
then the stolen
you could actually go in there when the grid goes down. You're
gonna need to flash your little you could do your cube go to the
thing. It's not gonna see it. You're gonna think you did it.
You're not going to whatever you grew up with stuff you leave.
And of course, you won't use any money. They'll be virtual, just
invisible money. It's beautiful in this world we're going
towards
Well, I have if we're talking about technology, of sorts, I
have a mobile phone storage since we should be talking about
phones on the whole show. Okay, here's an interesting one
Washington law. This is a new law in the mind mobile phones
and even eating and the spokesman
review of Spokane says Washington State drivers may no
longer hold electronic devices. The tougher new law forbids
using devices when stopped in traffic exceptions will be made
for emergency calls. First time offenders will be fined $136.
The law also cracks down on distractions like eating or
applying makeup.
Okay, so we have this weekend
eat a burger in the car in Washington State anymore. We
we have a lot. We had this law in Austin, which is the note and
even if you're stopped in traffic, you cannot touch your
phone for $100. Wow. Yeah. The eating thing is new though. I
like that. Now, you have you read the law. Have you have you?
Have you looked at it
now? Yeah, but um, you know, I know it's dumb. And it's because
you know, if you stopped or pulled over whatever you could
should be able to go on your phone. Yeah. I'm reminded of my
a one time story I've told before. I'm in Brazil, taking
tam airlines.
This one the hooker robbed you
know, there's a different story. This I'm in I'm in tam airlines
and we're parked at the gate. They're loading passengers. And
I opened my laptop to do a little work while we're waiting
for the plane to be loaded. The stewardess comes over she says,
Sir, you cannot use that laptop on the plane. Oh, I said why?
She says she's only allowed after 10,000 feet. So I saw the
plane is parked. But I can't use it. Because the rule is you can
only use a laptop after 10,000 feet. Right? This is idiotic.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know. That's kind of what we're dealing with.
Well, though, that law that's now gone. I mean, we all have
that problem back in the day. Right? Yeah, I
don't know. This was recently.
Oh, like the I thought this was years ago. This just wasn't
that long ago, during the period where yeah, you could use you
everyone lets you you're gonna use your laptop when your
parking planes not going anywhere is when it takes off.
You're supposed to close it down. That's the Who's
Mr. de vie you should follow the oohs. Hi, they have one last
dumb story. It was a big story. And I just the dumbness is all I
wanted to point out at
the end or the beginning of the end for a core part of the
Windows operating system
that caught my attention. A core part of the Windows operating
system is going to be removed. John, did you hear not hear
about this?
It's just a column I just wrote about Microsoft Paint. Yes.
It's a core core part of the Microsoft Windows operating
system, who would call it that douche bags
at the end or the beginning of the end for a core part of the
Windows operating system, Microsoft says they will no
longer update the paint program. Starting with the fall update to
Windows 10. The software giant was quick to say paint isn't
going away. It will still be available as a free download.
Paint had been part of Windows since the first version in 1985.
And I just want to hold this for a second and I want you to
respond. So now this guy is going to be incredibly ageist
towards his co hosts. It seems like she's the exact same age as
him. But in general just being a dick though, since
the first version in 1985. Do you remember pink? Absolutely. I
love paint. Really? But yes onto your AOL account and be like,
Oh, I'm checking up that your MySpace page.
Wow, nice.
She does a modem sound that was pretty good. I liked good modem
sound.
Yeah, you wrote a column about this. Yeah, I
did. I got to use the old joke is a dead setup joke use it once
in a while. I mean, you use this. This is a classic setup
joke where you go. So I understand that Microsoft Paint
is being taken out of windows. I was stunned. I was shocked. I
didn't know that it was still available. I mean, that's kind
of the way that joke works. Anyway, I haven't one. i It
does. It was a setup joke. Yeah. It has to be structured
as long as you have like a fun and because I got one thing we
have to do
about Poland. I have a fun end. Okay, let me do Poland and then
we'll you'll ended up okay. Okay. Right. Right, the EU's.
Given Poland one month to allay its concerns those with judicial
reform plans. The prospect of Polish politicians firing and
replacing judges prompted the ultimatum. Warsaw risks
punishment for not respecting common laws and values
Commission recommends the Polish authorities to solve all the
problems identified within one month. The Commission's
recommendation
asks this is France Timmermans by the way, the vice president
of the council and he's literally if you must have this,
in within one month solve all the problems identified within
one month. The commissioners recommendation asks the Polish
authorities not to take any measure to dismiss or force the
retirement of Supreme Court judges. If such a measure is
taken. The commission is ready to immediately trigger the
article seven one procedure the ruling right
wing Law and Justice Party is determined to press ahead with
its reforms. But the most controversial part governing
Supreme Court nominations was vetoed by Poland's president
after mass protests. The reported reaction from Poland's
government today is it the Commission's fears are
unjustified and the dude won't give in to blackmail.
Well, it is blackmailing because he said, will trigger Article
7.1. And I remember all this, this our show started around the
time of all this shenanigans called the Lisbon Treaty. And I
remember this was a point of contention and now is being
called an archaic clause that was stuffed away somewhere into
the Lisbon Treaty. It might have even been in the protocols, I
think it was probably in the in the in the big document. And
there was discussion over that. Don't worry about it just shut
up. revote do over. And this is the article that allows the
commission when they trigger Article 7.1 They can remove the
vital voting rope via voting rights. From from the country in
question. Across the board in the parliament everywhere,
everywhere, their representative, their vote is
taken away. And he just gave them one month. So I asked for
boots on the ground reporting. And I received it. Thank
goodness. Did I receive it from someone who's polish? No. Tom
schenone, I believe. He says Adam, I returned from a visit to
Poland to visit with my fiance's family. I was listened to Sunday
show on the flight back and you asked for a report on situation.
Since I love the show. I was asking her family all about the
political situation or to report back to you guys anyway,
hopefully this helps out. This is what we love. This is good.
So we were confused about what is actually going on. Is there a
lot of articles that break down along with the provisions are as
well as articles outlining the pros and cons of what's at hand.
And what angle the news articles have not really covered is the
West is the in the west of the communist angle. Many supporters
of this law including my future in laws see it as a tool to
purge communists collaborators and sympathizers of the former
Polish communist government out of power. Currently, judges are
appointed by a board consisting of jurists, which is the same
way it's done in the Netherlands. And it's a very,
very crappy system. Because when a when a judge can't make it,
they just hire a lawyer, just a random lawyer who of course is
going to be completely bipartisan, obviously, unless
maybe you hire a law firm for something else. Currently,
judges have a jersey, the pi s and their supporters believe
this board to be full of communist sympathizers as well
as elitist. They do not like the fact that there's not a
mechanism for politicians to oust the judges. They pointed
out to me that the President selects all federal judges with
consent of the Senate in the US and that this is the type of
system they want. They feel these laws are a step towards
that. So I that's rings true due to me I think that makes sense.
Oh, that's that's interesting it does kind of ring true because
it's not a bad system
no I think it works very well you know we get to pick what you
get to pick but then we the other guys, we get to approve
it's a very good system and that's what they want. So I This
to me this rings true.
So the EU is just being a bunch of dicks horse they
have they can't they can't have this can't have be unapproved
politicians not approved by Starfleet Command you can't have
them just willy nilly being in charge of anything. This is a
elitism at the top of his game as the way I see it. top of its
game,
we'll have to follow it because nobody's following him 5am
Now and by and by the way, he ended up by saying that he also
asked about the Visa Waiver Program. They said Yeah, they
really hope he makes do on his promise. But even if that didn't
happen, they still like Trump. And Melania vibe, I'm sure.
Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
But it's just crazy. What what these European, I mean, you're
seeing it, you're seeing countries like Poland saying,
you know, you know, we don't want to do it that way.
No, they don't want people doing their own thing. It's
unbelievable. And it's going to tell
why don't they see it? People you should be you shouldn't be
resist very much.
By the way, we resist we match after match. We're not going to
have the meetup this Saturday. Oh, there will be a website
divorced that org slash meet up dot htm that I will
be closed is the HTM in caps.
No, actually, no. It should
be dot htm in all caps. Because that's how Microsoft used to
print their HTML documents, dot htm all uppercase, and then
you'd have
live ones. Anyway. I'll give everyone an update shortly. All
right now. There'll be an update on Sunday. I have one story that
I first I saw it on Good Morning America. And then I like them.
That would be the Eclipse dumb. And then I saw it didn't I
started seeing it start cropping up and is a local version of the
same story. So obviously some public relations company working
for a whiskey Brewer has come up with this bull crap story.
That's a public interest story. I don't think it's his native
advertising. I think this is one of those. Oh, that's a great
story. And that story is malarkey. And this is the bull
crap story about music and booze
for Music is powerful. Is it strong enough to change how
something tastes in Northern California craft whiskey
distillers has been experimenting with this for a
few years they put music they pumped the music into select
barrels of whiskey. They've got a Michael Jackson barrel, the
Led Zeppelin barrel and they believe that the sound
vibrations expand and contract the wood and then it molds
different tastes better for myself on the bluegrass and
Nutcracker ballet barrels are most popular. They test better
believe it or not than non musical whiskey think that
Zeplin stuff it's probably pretty good okay,
everybody bought into this one
we could do this. We could do this. We can make water is pure
water so we can bring in that guy who does the water crystals
and we put a note love underneath the bottle then the
crystals look all beautiful if you put a note no no note or
hate and the crystals they look all maligned and all deformed
and we can have our beautiful wonderful no agenda water which
17 Virgins stood around and said love to for 24 hours

terrorism right? This is terrorism, terrorism, terrorism
