December 14 2017 This is your award winning get my nation
media assassination episode nine or nine or zero this is no
agenda. deconstructing net neutrality so you don't have to
call Congress and broadcast live from downtown Boston Tejas
capital. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where our minds are in the
gutter. I'm John C. Dvorak.
raglan. Bushkill
Yes, not just ours, but the entire media landscape and
Democratic Party.
Yes, seems so. Yeah, good newsletter. Thank you. Yeah.
Actually, I think I pulled a clip of, maybe I didn't. I
thought I had a clip of Sarah Sanders saying Get your mind out
of the gutter. Well, actually, I
haven't I haven't.
I haven't. I haven't. I haven't. I have. Oh, you have a whole
clip. I got a short clip.
I have the whole clip where the questions asked and she goes on.
It's actually a better clip the whole
clip. Okay. Which one? Is it?
This would be? Sarah Sanders. It shouldn't say no.
You'd expect it to start with an ass. Yeah. And you would when
you How about Gillibrand before Trump tweet?
No, that's good. That's actually if you want to do the Gillibrand
store, I'm going to mess with
that. Let me let me do the April Ryan. Question. If we can't find
it here.
On here, I don't think so. Yes. Well, there's your clip.
Jones tidbits. Trump no more slightly twisted analysis, more
support from Trump now polar bear T vs. G. believable? Okay.
I'll
play mine then. Is that okay? Yeah, go ahead.
April's children. Oh,
and apology for the misunderstanding of the
President's tweet this one. And because many, including Senator
thinks that it's about sexual innuendos.
I think all if your mind is in the gutter, would you have read
it that way? And so no, Hunter?
No, it's not. It's It was when he would said what he said, was
open. And it was not mind. And it's obviously
talking about political partisan games that people often play.
And the broken system that he's talked about repeatedly, this
isn't new. This isn't a new sentiments isn't new
terminology. He's used it several times before. As I said,
a few minutes ago. He's used it several times before,
referencing men of both both parties, in fact. And so I think
that there, if you look back at the past comments he's made, it
was very clear what his reference was Hunter.
So looking at this issue with the system, the President gave
almost $8,000 to celebrate Gillibrand over the years. His
daughter also gave her $2,000 What specifically, did they get
a blow job contribution? If she was,
look, I think oftentimes what you do, you're getting access, a
member of Congress will take your phone call, they'll take
your meeting. And if you're driving something as a
businessman that the President may or may not have been driving
at any particular point. You can talk to that individual about
it, and sometimes they carry your water. That's the reason
that we have a broken system. That's a reason that often
special interests control our government more than the people
do. And that's one of the reasons that this President ran
to be president. It's one of the top reasons I think that he won
and that he's sitting in the Oval Office today and Hillary
Clinton's not because he couldn't be bought and everybody
know that knew that she could because they'd seen it time and
time again.
And now it's time for your sexual harassment.
Update. That's right, everybody, no agenda sexual harassment
update.
Well, since we started with the gutter clip, if you're going to
have your mind in the gutter, yeah, I want you to listen to
these two ISOs I have ISO of ISOs and ISO two but start with
ISO ISOs. And with your mind in the gutter, tell me what's going
on.
This is I've been old enough to
to Alright, so this is Roy pants and I could notice just from
picking it up. It's very soft, soft, right? Absolutely. Creamy.
Melts in your mouth. Oh, my big thank you very much.
Well, it's clearly a native ad for something. Play I saw two.
Mm hmm. Thank you very much. Wow, is that ever good? Well,
what is this?
No, no, you got now you've given me no answer.
It's a quick clip from QVC you're selling fudge? Yeah,
you know, I gotta tell you, I was doing some melts. I saw you
know the To my timeline go crazy over something. The President
had tweeted I take a look at it. I chuckled because exactly these
these these duties will do anything. And that's how it
works. But really, and then I was like, What is this slut
shaming, all of a sudden I see people saying he slept.
They've gone out of control. In fact, even good even this clip.
This is twig, Gwen Stefani.
Oh, yeah, she's getting some some heat are going is
Well, I think the point she's making is that this is a very
powerful moment in American history. And not only should
women be heard, but they should be believed. And they should be
investigated. So when you have these allegations come coming
forward. Those allegations should be investigated, just
like you would invest any other allegation
of fraud or Yeah. That was Kirsten Gillibrand.
Yeah. Why does it say Gwen's Tiffani?
I thought she sounds like her. Grandson. Fine. He's
getting all kinds of heat because she's, she's friends
with Chelsea Handler. And, you know, Gwen, you can't be with
the sexiest man alive, who's a country guy, a white bumpkin,
and then be hanging out with a Trump hater. That doesn't work.
Just campaign, this will not stand.
Let's go. But I doubt you'd be more impressed with the gwynn's
to find the clip. But no, here is Gillibrand before the Trump
tweet, and this is what get the whole thing started.
President Trump should resign. These allegations are credible,
they are numerous. I've heard these women's testimony, and
many of them are heartbreaking. And President Trump should
resign his position, whether he will ever hold himself
accountable is something you know, you really can't hold your
breath for. And so Congress should have hearings, they
should do their investigation, they should have appropriate
investigations of his behavior and hold them accountable.
So you are standing by your prominent senator, colleagues,
Senator Cory Booker, and others who have called today for the
president to resign. I hear you very clearly agreeing with them.
Do you think, though, that there should be as these women have
called for a bipartisan investigation, or are you
calling for an immediate resignation?
I think he should immediately resign. And if he doesn't, we
should have the investigation.
Let me back that up with a quick clip from these three women who
are members who are part of this trump the film 16 women and
Donald Trump. So these are the some old some new accusers of
President. And first they went on Megyn Kelly show three of
them did. And then they did a PR event for for the movie. They're
in run by brave films, which is clearly a very partisan outfit.
I looked at their nine dedica they got like $3 million in the
bank, which I thought was a lot of money for just the, you know,
little nonprofit during the film, but okay. The allegations
are pretty intense.
I am hoping that that this will come forward and and produce
enough pressure on Congress to address it more than just for
their own members, but to address it in the president.
They've investigated other Congress members, so I think it
only stands fair that he be investigated, as well. If they
were willing to investigate Senator Franken, I think it's
only fair that they do the same for Trump.
I mean, it's pretty flimsy.
Does anybody who has no kidding, does anybody know anything about
separation of powers?
Not these people. You want to listen to this trailer? Or if
it's an excerpt or if it's a trailer of, of these women, and
I have a comment about one of them.
He groped me, he absolutely groped me. And he just slipped
his hand there, touching my private part.
He turned to me and embraced me and gave me a kiss on the lips.
And I remember being shocked and because I would have just
thought to shake somebody's hand. But that was his first
response with it was
a real shock when all of a sudden, his hands were all over
me. But it's when he started putting his hand up my skirt.
And that was it. That was it.
The person on my right who unbeknownst to me at that time
was Donald Trump put their hands up my skirt. He did touch my
vagina through my underwear.
As the women walked across the table. Donald Trump would look
up under their skirt and you know, comment on whether they
had underwear or didn't have underwear. I didn't want to have
to walk across the table. I wanted to get out of there. Then
his hand touched the right inside of my breath,
I felt intimidated. And I felt powerless when I was standing
right next to him when he touched my butt when we entered
the room, round
each of us tightly enough and kissed each one of us without
asking permission. After that, I received another call from
either Donald or a male calling on his behalf, offering me
10,000 These actions are huge testament to his character, that
of uncontrollable misogyny, entitlement and to being a
sexual assault apologist.
Um, you know, sitting there in my robe and having, you know, my
makeup and hair done and everything and he comes walking
in and I was just like, Oh, my goodness,
what women doing back here,
I saw him walk into the dressing room.
He just came strolling right in there was no second to put a
robot or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were
topless. Other girls were naked, waltzing in when we're naked, or
half naked in a very physically vulnerable position.
Now, touching butts and Volvo's and stuff I can't comment on.
That sounds pretty egregious. But the last voice you heard was
one of the Miss USA contestants, Trump owned the franchise. And
let me tell you, I've been around a lot of fashion shows
and have a bit participated in them of MC them. And when you're
backstage, everyone's naked and no one gives a shit. They do not
care. All the girls want is a smoke some coffee and some coke.
That's all they want. And they don't care.
I would disagree with that. And, and not that I've been back
there, but it's been documented. All you have to do is watch some
of these TV shows where they're where they're doing a runway,
backstage runway stuff, and there's guys all over the place
wandering around. Yeah.
Yes, yeah. So
that last thing is bullcrap. I also think, I don't know how
much of the other stuff is bullcrap. But probably half of
it. But the problem I'm foreseeing is that I just have
to assume that Roger Stone has put some phonies in there. He's
planted a couple Oh, yeah, we're gonna just just you're gonna
come out and say I was paid to say this. And it's gonna get
Trump off the hook and embarrassed the Democrats. But,
but on this on this stupid tweet, which is caused the
trouble. Listen to the Gillibrand to this clip. Ms.
Gillibrand tweet with with Mica. And then she was shaking like a
leaf apparently because she read this tweet is the worst thing
she's ever read. And then Katie Kay, who is a anchorwoman for
the BBC America. She says something and makes a flub that
I want to comment on
yesterday because they were all on TV. Just be sure that the the
fact that the three of us here are literally shaking in anger.
If that tweet meant a lot. That tweet said so much about his
character. That tweet said so much about how this White House
is run. That tweet was one of the worst things I've seen so
far in this presidency, actually.
And here's why it's so undermining you can make it to
the stage of sanity you can do everything by the rules you can
be as good as the Gala
was that one person clapping? One person clapping
stage of sanity. You can do everything by the rules. You can
be as good as the guys against around you. You can be the top
of your class and if you're a woman, you can get to the top
and you can still have that kind of crap thrown at you.
Well, no doubt no doubt you're flub. No, I was I was too
distracted by the clapping. Is there the last bit? Let me hear
it again. Yeah. Why is it not working today? Because they were
all and
here's why it's so undermining you can make it to the stage of
sanity. You can do everything by the rules, you can be as good as
the guys against around you. You can be the top of your class.
And if you're a woman, you can get to the top and you can still
have that kind of crap thrown at you.
I mean, the guy's against you. Instead of and she this
is the way she is. This is Katie. Kay, this is the way she
sees the workplace. Yeah,
the guys are against her. Yeah, the guys are against her.
She's, is she seeing it? Cuz she's against them. And it's
like a competitive thing. And you have to do what you have to
do. But I find it was very interesting. And she'd say that
because that's what she was trying to send us to see change
that to around you. So it didn't sound so harsh. Right? Because
the men are all against me. I don't know. I found this whole
thing to be quite funny you mentioned
Well, yeah. In that clip I like specifically where she says, you
know, this is his mindset. No That's your mindset. That is
exactly the opposite is your mindset you read that? It's
what's in your head. This was an interesting I don't know if you
heard about this, but Bill O'Reilly called into Glenn Beck
show with some with a an interesting allegation. I want
to tell you one thing, though I don't know if I mentioned this
on your program. But I predicted and we discussed last week that
there's going to be a tremendous assault on President Trump
coming agree probably come in January. Because he did get the
tax reform passed. And the Democrats now say, well, we got
to destroy him because he may get reelected. There is a tape
back and audio tape of a anti Trump person offering $200,000
to a woman to accuse Donald Trump of untoward behavior.
So you know, you have talked to me about this. You've talked to
me about this tape, you've talked to me about it privately,
as well it with with additional information? Or is this tape
going to be released
or
I may have to I may have to go to the US attorney myself. I
don't want to have to do that and inject myself into the
story. But there are I had my lawyer listen to the tape. My
attorney, right. He's listened to it. There are at least three
crimes on the tape. So as a citizen, I may have to do this.
He hates inserting himself into the story. I'm sure Bill shoni
I'm curious if there's something to it though. That's kind of
fun.
You're probably is some dude, but his, his his oh my god, I
have to get involved. Bullcrap is ridiculous,
right? But okay. Yeah, well, here's the thing.
I'm sorry. No, go ahead. Here's the big rundown. I want to get
it out of the way. This is the rundown of the Trump versus
Gillibrand story on CBS. And I think it's pretty good. And it
kind of covers all the stuff we just covered. But it also it
gives it a little a little more depth to the whole thing. It is
not a bad report.
T vs G makes nothing but since
bitter argument has broken out between the President and the
junior senator from his home state. It began when Democrat
Kyrsten Gillibrand called on Mr. Trump to resign
and by the way, is it Jilla brand is it Gillibrand do we
really know what the official pronunciation is? No, we don't I
like Jilla. Brand better.
I think it is Jilla Bran
senator from his home states. It began when Democrat Kyrsten
Gillibrand called on Mr. Trump to resign because of accusations
of sexual misconduct against him. The President fired back
with his weapon of choice, the tweet with the latest on this.
Here's Nancy Cordis.
It was a sexist smear, attempting to silence my voice.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was attending a
bipartisan Bible study this morning, when the President sent
his suggestive tweet, calling her a lightweight and flunky,
who wants begged him for campaign contributions and would
do anything for them.
I think it was shameful. Democrats
called the President's
words nasty
and grotesque. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren even
accused him of trying to intimidate and slut shame
Gillibrand.
If your mind is in the gutter, would you have read it that way?
White House press
secretary Sarah Sanders insisted there was no innuendos
and it's obviously talking about political partisan games that
people often play and the broken system that he's talked about
repeatedly,
but by this afternoon, more than 100, House Democrats had signed
a letter requesting that the House Committee on Oversight
investigate the reports of sexual misconduct raised against
President Trump by more than a dozen women stretching back to
the 1980s
force kissing, unwanted touching and groping on an aeroplane in a
corporate office. In a patch and dressing room.
Democrats forced out two of their own members last week over
similar allegations.
I'm sorry, Mr. President.
You do not live under a different set of rules. Yes,
party that controls Congress.
What we're in charge of here is the Senate
does not want to touch the issue.
Should there be a formal investigation? I thought that's
what the last election was.
Gillibrand says she won't stop trying. Republican leaders have
been reluctant to even acknowledge the allegations
against President Trump. Why do you think they'd be willing to
open an investigation?
That is the right thing to do, and I'm urging them to do that
and as should their constituents.
late this afternoon, the Republican Chair of the House
Oversight Committee officially declined to open an
investigation but for an unexpected reason. He said the
allegations against President Trump if true, I are crimes and
therefore are better handled by the Justice Department than
Congress?
No one as far as I know, has filed any suit or any official
complaint even
know, they haven't filed anything. So this is it. What
bothers me about this is the Democrats are, and that may be
Scott Adams kind of implies this with his analysis of these
tweets. The Democrats are spinning their wheels over this
sexual breasts touching a butt grabbing or whatever he's done.
As far as I can tell, all he's done was talk a big game with
which was what was going on with that Access Hollywood tape or
whatever I think that was, and they're missing. Like, we've
just spent $700 billion on a military budget from Judge,
which is money going to an out of control Defense Department,
they're supposed to audit. By the way here,
one of our producers sent me a note. And his company is doing
the audit. He says, I don't know if we'll get anywhere he says,
but we're doing it it is really happening. Yeah, big gun light.
Just saying it's, I just wanted to let everyone know is we got
people in important places.
So we have. So this is going on at this. I mean, if they really
did an audit and found where all the money was got wasted. I just
was gonna use the word going by man wasted, they could probably
get by with a $500 billion budget and put 200 billion into
the economy that do some people some good fix the potholes in
highway ad, for example, there it is. And, and I would say that
this would be a more of an issue besides the guy grabbing
somebody's butt 20 years ago, who cares? The Democrats are
completely and by the way, and I do when I do a lot of clips
about this Roy Moore.
We're not there yet. We got some other stuff to do first,
I'm just gonna say that everything they're doing is
they're just sidetracking themselves. I think they're
gonna be a big flop in 2018. If they if they can't come up with
something other than just slut shaming Trump.
I don't see anything else on the horizon. It's all it's all. I
see. They got really. So I don't I don't think they have anything
else. But I do have a couple of clips and a couple other people
who have been caught up in the web of hashtag me too. This is
from CNBC.
What's happening at this hour everyone in New York Senator
Kirsten Gillibrand, I should say, calling on President Trump
to resign. This is three women spoke out against him accusing
him of varying degrees of inappropriate behavior. One was
asked if she was considering a lawsuit.
I mean, what am I going to sue him for being really creepy?
That's not something that would stand up in court. But what I'm
more concerned about is as a culture in our country, what is
acceptable behavior? And if the standard that our president is
setting, it's not high enough, right now,
I'm gonna say again, that the standard of our, our community
of our What does she what word does she use of our culture, but
we are in the United States of behavior. Turn on television, go
look at a magazine. Go look at a movie and
listen to one of the Democrats podcasts.
And tell me that it isn't coming for it. You know, it's
everywhere. We are a highly hyper sexualized society.
Certainly, Hollywood, certainly the United States, highly
sexualized. Now, let me give you a couple other rundown of some
names and what's been happening in case you haven't kept up.
Morgan Spurlock did something very interesting. You know who
that guy is? He's the Yeah, he's the documentarian. He did
Supersize Me and some. Yeah, Supersize Me. So he came out
with this huge letter. And he said, Oh, I'm part of the
problem. And here's what I've done. He said, I used to call my
assistant hotpants in the office. And he also went into, I
think it's actually very interesting what he did. He went
into something where he was with a woman and they were drinking
and then they were naked. And then and then they were having
sex. She said, didn't want to have sex, and then they stopped
and then she sued him for rape or, or said, if you don't pay me
10 grand, I'm going to sue you for rape, something like that.
So he's taken a very interesting tact by coming out and saying
I'm bad. And I think you won't hear anything about him. We'll
see. Ya then the New York Times Salma Hayek home my God. If you
haven't read that article her about Harvey Weinstein. This guy
is an a hole. Yeah, he's
the perfect example that we can now compare Trump to.
Here's the stuff that he was asking for actually, she says
I'll just read a little bid from the from the article did i
Little did I know it would become my turn to say no no to
opening the door to him and all hours of the night hotel after
hotel location after location where it would show up
unexpectedly including one location was going to do a movie
he wasn't even involved with. No to take it to me taking a shower
with him. No to letting me watch him for letting him watch me
take a shower. No to letting him give me a massage no to letting
a naked friend of his good massage. No to letting me give
him oral sex. No to me getting naked with another woman. No, no
no. Came with every refusal came Harvey's Machiavellian rage. And
at one point he said I could kill you, you know that, don't
you? And this guy is an asshole. I mean, he's this is that's
really really really
like an insurance salesman. But
then, one of the judges who struck down the immigration
travel ban was busted in some sleazy sexual scandal. CIA agent
that's Creative Artists Agency accused of offering sex in
exchange for access to directors and a Hollywood star. Surprise
surprise. Veteran anchor Steve Edwards good de la out. CNN
contributing host Ryan Lizza. Fired from New Yorker.
David Korn got busted? Yes.
Oh, you know what I have? Oh, what am I thinking here? Hold
on. I have the I'm gonna get it here. Very fortunate. I have the
spreadsheet. The shitty media men spreadsheet. Ah, I think we
need to review this.
I think you should read off the list.
Okay. Well, this is very interesting. This list has it's
a spreadsheet. So the fields are last name, first name,
affiliation, alleged misconduct and then notes
and no email address
where you can get some of that. And then there's highlights men
accused of physical sexual violence by multiple women are
highlighted in red. Let's just I do not know all these names. So
we'll see. Jeremy Kessler of Columbia Law. alleged misconduct
hitting women secretly secretly removing condom during sex. Oh,
that's a felony in some states should be. No it is. Not it
should be it is should be in
all states. Lauren Stein, from the Paris Review. alleged

little more funny. Michael, how Halford Freelancer accused of

it. Then once you do something on the internet, it's there for
good.
Well listen to this. From Mother Jones David Korn sexual
harassment from Mother Jones Ben Dreifuss harassment abusive
language threatening to ruin the career slash reputations. of
younger women. That's not exactly sexual in nature, but
it's dickish. Then from vacation, Buzzfeed Joe
Bernstein, inappropriate conversations, comments to young
staffers and interns, and
this would include telling a dirty joke. Yeah, couldn't what
bothers me about that? As someone who tells dirty jokes,
but generally speaking, I always check I do check it. Oh, but
some of these there are women who say, Oh, yeah, no, no, no,
no, no, don't pay. Me. I'm one of the guys. Yeah. And then you
tell the dirty joke. And the next thing you know you're on
the list.
Ze Frank who remembers a Ze Frank? No, I don't remember how
to say yes. He had the he was one of the first he was the
first guy who did a YouTube like, you know, a daily YouTube
thing that was cut up, and we talk really fast. But you know,
as a friend, you do. Do violent language bullying, verbal
emotional abuse, idea theft, especially from women. Oh,
this is great. This is great.
And they really had a grudge in that who put this list together?
A lot of people had a grudge but before you go on and let's go
let's do something that I can something that never gets
discussed as Why do some people get a pass and some people that
are really bad get a pass and I will include how come no one
talks about it because he just got a new movie. Johnny Depp who
beats women. No, that's okay. No problem. Right right, Troy let's
hit let's let's listen to Alec Baldwin preys on ABC.
Another guy Alec Baldwin returning to sitcom television
and the best part right here at ABC. reporting that ABC is
developing a new comedy series co created an executive produced
by black ish creator Kenya Barris and Baldwin, who was so
excellent on 30 Rock on NBC. This time around, he'll play an
opinionated, fading TV star who moves in with his progressive
daughter and her girlfriend. The currently unnamed series is set
to premiere right here next season on ABC.
All one who's who's a known jerk is why does he gets such a pass
and he gets a huge passion. Let's play to remind people.
This is Alec Baldwin, talking to his 11 year old daughter on and
left a message on her phone.
I want to tell you something, okay. And I want to leave a
message for you right now. Because again, it's 1030 here in
New York on a Wednesday. And once again, I made an ass of
myself, trying to get to a phone to call you a specific time.
When the time comes for me to make the phone call. I stop
whatever I'm doing. And I go when I make that phone call at
11 o'clock in the morning in New York. And if you don't pick up
the phone at 10 o'clock at night, and you don't even have
that goddamn phone turned on. I want you to know something,
okay? I'm tired of playing this game with you. I'm leaving the
session with you to tell you, you have insulted me for the
last time. You have insulted me, you don't have the brains or the
decency as a human. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old
or 11 years old. Your child or your mother was a pain in the
ass? Who doesn't care about what you do? As far as I'm concerned?
It was sad though. He's mad at his ex and he's yelling at the
kid. It's you know, it's transference in a in an odd way.
But
yeah, what it is was say it's actually more pathetic when he
doesn't know her age.
But that sucks. Well, I don't want to play the whole thing
because it's horrible audio. I think people remember it. He
calls her a pig. Yeah, a dirty little pig. And he goes on and
on and on. Why does this guy and I've put Johnny Depp in the same
camp? Why did they get a pass? While he's like You named a
number of journalists who whose only sin was to have a lewd
direct message or, or an inappropriate direct message is
not even something physically interesting. Why do these guys
get a pass
interesting. You bring that up from the face bag. I won't play
the jingle because it's not necessarily a voice I want to
use right now. This is a friend of mine who works at Saturday
Night Live. I worked with this person or for many, many years
at MTV. And then she posted about Al Franken because of
course, she worked with Al Franken as well. Or maybe just a
little bit because I think I know not sure when he left but
the Al Franken situation is heartbreaking. I haven't written
on this because Al is someone I've known personally since
1981. And truly admire and respect. I would even call him a
friend though I was closer with his dearly missed X comedy
partner Tom Davis. As many have said the owl that we saw at SNL
was incredibly respectful of mostly everyone. I like that
mostly. And in regards to his relationship With women I will
always remember the times that he insisted on women writers be
present when auditions were held for films that parent that
parodied models or beach bunnies or whatever, to keep sexual
tension out of the room. And as with many grown men who have
continued to find college frat boy humor funny, many in their
60s still love fart jokes, others, others gross sexual
situations often acting like cavemen. l did have a bit of
that in him. Uh huh. That's enough these days, I might want
to add, anyway, I do find this behavior that has led to the
current situation really ugly and fucked up. If indeed it is
true. There would be no excuse and some sort of action to be
taken again, only if it's accurate. But here goes, if this
had been happening during a different type of
administration, like our also dearly Miss Barack Obama, whose
people had integrity, good intentions, views that showed
they were real human beings, and one that made us feel safe and
that we were led by people that had our well being at heart, I
might have thought that maybe I should resign, maybe, but in a
time where someone as obviously unqualified like Betsy DeVos
gets approved and what is happening with immigration taxes
are national landscapes and parks and an administration full
of sexual predators and countless other things. We need
people like Al Franken to stay in the Senate. He's fighting the
good fight. And on our side, you know which side that is sorry.
But there must be other ways to deal with this alleged awful
personal behavior treatment, which would not help Weinstein
and spacey use x or unspeakable and evil on a whole other level.
That would actually help have the victims who are affected by
this confront him directly in meetings, pause, have a meeting,
maybe, maybe there'll be some healing there or the hell with
it, bring back flogging and lash the fucker. The philosophy of
let's take our licks and let a new breed come forth his name
horseshit. If you all think I'm wrong, I'll take this down. But
as of this moment, as Stan Laurel says, that's my story I'm
sticking to it is just seeing one of the great people I've
been lucky enough to know get unfairly taken down like this
without even a hearing is shattering.
Double standard much. Sounds like it to me. But here's the
kicker. Steve Pjanic,
the psychological warfare expert who has worked for many
presidents and many agencies, and military. And he posted one
of his videos and by that we have a an interview with him for
our Christmas Show, which I did, which I think you'll like he,
well listen to it, and then you can understand what he's saying.
But just some background. He currently he's fighting. What is
it called? It's the water company. Mosaic mining, I think
in Florida, because they have all the water rights and
they're, they're diverting water away from certain parts of
Florida and I he hates him. He hates him. He hates me hates
him. And it's in this context that he makes an interesting
admission.
Senator Al Franken from Minnesota had to resign. The
reason sexual harassment, the real reason is simply that I had
put a psychological profile on him knowing fully well that he
had had a history of sexual harassment. Now, how do I know
that it's not relevant in my business of psychological
profiling and psychological warfare. I know a lot about many
individuals, particularly those who are in the Senate who are in
government and who are high up in the private industry. The
point of fact here was that I had requested Al Franken and his
superior, Amy flew Bakker, senator from Minnesota to really
intervene on behalf of the honest citizens of Central
Florida, so that they would stop the horrendous terrorist
activities of Mosaic minds that came out of Plymouth, Minnesota.
Al Franken didn't respond to that request. I wrote blogs
about it, I implored them, and nothing was done. In turn, I
decided that I would start a psychological warfare against Al
Franken. Now, that is not a direct hit. It's what we call in
the business a site pocket shot. There was evidence to suggest
that Al Franken had a history of sexual harassment, but it's not
an accident that the two major evidences that came out, came
out from two different tours that he made the USO during his
tour in the Middle East,
remember, but genic is in very tight with military
intelligence. One was
in 2001 2003, and then 2006. So I leave that supposition and
target of opportunity for you to think it down and for Al Franken
to think about.
That's interesting. He's kind of claiming that he,
yeah, he's claiming the responsibility for getting rid
of the guy.
That's pretty brazen.
It doesn't sound like some somebody who actually has those
abilities would actually bro
he's he's very angry about this water thing but I don't
understand why why we Franken but
well he first saw Frank and I'm supposed to go over if you got
to go up to somebody got hurt Amy Klobuchar want to go through
that exact but it's because he didn't get any response because
the company's a big Plymouth the Minnesota based company. There
you go that was the reason I
didn't get okay. That's why. Anyway, he's it's an interesting
video that you see in the show notes he goes on and on then
this stunning allegation from Eddie Fisher's ex wife. I don't
think anyone but you and I remember Eddie Fisher.
I remember Eddie Fisher, and he was married to a number of
women, which is which one we talking about. He was also
married to Debbie Reynolds. Yeah, you
know this not Debbie. It's not Debbie Reynolds obviously.
The hot one.
I forget her name. Well listen to her story, and it's
dramatized Hi, I'm
Tavish. I was dammit, I gave
away my next clip.
Larry King is a Grover. He groped me twice.
They were the moments 63 year old Terry Richard says she will
never forget.
I was doing a story for the token times. It was the baseball
RBI Hall of Fame dinner. And Larry was there and Larry saw me
and my photographer tried to punch us together. And Larry had
his hand on the middle of my back. And as the photographer
said, Look this way. He took his hand and he slid it all the way
down into the crack of my ass. He just stuck. I don't know how
he got in there. But
I don't know how we got it in there. But somehow, Larry King's
a genius. He got an awful lot of experience. He got all the way
in the crack and my ads froze
and I yell I yelled out, my reaction was just slap him in
his face, but he was the guest speaker. It was awful. What
really got me was I'm a wife. My child was at the event. I'm
working. And I was over 50 So there's no age limit.
There's no age limit. That's right. Larry King the groper
slipping it in the ass crack nice King. Very nice. Bad news
though for Kentucky
so it gets a pass as you get a pass. Like alley ballers it
gets it gets a pass.
I'd like to know why these guys get a pass and other guys don't
get a pass. What is the what is the line of demarcation? We
can't say it's because it's just Republicans, because most of the
people that are busted including Al Franken in this are
Democrats. In fact, it wasn't until recently to the tide
turned and we started to have a balance of both Republicans and
Democrats. So why did these guys get a pass?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. This guy didn't give himself a pass.
Sad story but the breaks WW
news alert. Kentucky State Representative Dan Johnson has
reportedly committed suicide.
This is just one day after he denied accusations of child
molestation. We have crews across the area tonight as the
story is still developing.
This bridge behind me is where investigators say Representative
Dan Johnson appears to have committed suicide tonight. This
comes just one day after Johnson denied allegations of sexual
molestation. Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tennille says
Johnson shot himself on the bridge once under his chin. This
happened in Mount Washington in a rural area of Grinnell Ford
Road. Investigators say Johnson drove his SUV a Ford Escape over
the bridge pulled over stood in front of the SUV and shot
himself one time, a WD tells us someone saw Johnson's posts on
social media and called 911 law enforcement and then pinged his
phone which led them to this general area. They discovered
his body
I thought that was interesting. They pinged his phone isn't that
easy? To ping someone's phone and find their location. It's
just just a throwaway line in the report but
they I think it
is noticeable
posts on social media and called 911. Law enforcement then pinged
his phone which led them to this general area. They discovered
his body near the bridge on the bank of the Salt River.
Adrian Representative Dan Johnson denied the accusations
yesterday right here at his church. On Monday, the chairman
of the Republican Party of Kentucky called on
Representative Dan Johnson to resign. It came after report
emerged accusing him of sexually molesting a 17 year old girl in
a church basement in 2012. Just yesterday, Johnson responded to
those claims at the heart of fire church where he was a
pastor,
this allegation concerning this this lady, this young girl
absolutely has no merit. I'm not standing here today to step down
or resign or to do anything like that. There's a lot of people
that are willing to jump to judgment without any proof.
Yeah, And then he went and killed himself. Sad. But yeah,
it's like molested a girl in the basement of the church. See?
Well,
that was kind of the joke is the age of consent in Kentucky 16.
Is it still 16?
Let me look to the age of consent for sexual intercourse
depends on the victim's age at the general age of consent is 16
but may be 18 years for other circumstances. So it's possible
that they do have some of these ages you can have sex at 16 if
you're having sex with 17
sounds like it might not have been consensual
but still, well, it sounds like when I first started hearing the
report, I thought it was a pedophile and by that I don't
mean a 17 year old
Oh yeah, no, I understand this word is bandied about so easily.
I've heard people say on on television on the telescreen
admitted pedophile you know about Roy Moore as an example.
It's not exactly how that goes. But the worst one of the metoo
movement, another blow for the Public Broadcasting System, the
propaganda broadcasting system after Charlie Rose, we take down
a staple of public broadcasting Tavis Smiley. What? Yeah,
I didn't hear this one show suspended. Fire fan of Tavis
Smiley took me. Let me give a little background on that. Tavis
Smiley. I never liked him. I never liked his interviewing
style. I always find his voice to be peculiar. Yeah. And then I
but over the years, I have watched his show. He has a
really outstanding interviewer. His show is great. So I would
watch his show. I'd have unusual people to interview it was very
interesting. He was a good. It seemed like a really good guy.
And he I should mention this because we're talking about who
gets a pass and who does it. You have to remember that he was
with Cornell West dead, the black professor, and they're on
the rampage against Obama.
Yeah. So no pass no pass for him. No Pass for him. But when
you hear his side of the story, it's even more crazy. So the
headline is Tavis Smiley talk show host suspended after PBS
investigation into sexual misconduct claims against the
host. And he posted this on the face bag.
Hi, I'm Tavish I was as shocked as you want to hear of PBS a
sudden announcement regarding my television program. Let me say
at the outset that I have the utmost respect for all women.
And I certainly celebrate the courage of those women who've
come forth late to share their own truth. But let me also
assure you that I have never groped inappropriately exposed
myself, or cursed any colleague in the workplace ever. In my 30
year career. PBS lost his so called investigation of me
without ever even telling me about it. I only learned this
investigation because former colleagues former staffers
started to call me to tell me they were getting a phone call
from some PBS investigator asking number one, did Tavis
ever make you feel uncomfortable in the workplace? And number
two, can you give us other persons to call? Only after
threatening a lawsuit? Did PBS investigators agree to sit down
and talk to me for three hours. And even then their minds must
have been made up? Because almost immediately after that
session ended? This story broke in variety. PBS investigators
refused to look in any of my documentation, refused to talk
to any of my current staffers refused to give me the names of
any of my accusers and refused to give me any semblance of due
process. It is clear that this has gone too far. And I for one
intend to fight back. PBS overreacted and they lost a
sloppy investigation. It's time for a real conversation in this
country about where the lines are about how men and women can
engage each other in the workplace. And I look forward to
actively participating in that conversation.
What this all means
big time lawsuit. Yeah, this is a slander suit This is slander.
Plus love unlawful termination that he is going to make a
fortune off of PBS and by the way for you out there donating
to PBS
Stop, stop. Yeah. Well, you know, the whole idea of due
process you know, knowing who your accuser is all this
anonymous stuff. It just doesn't cut it for me. But I'm in I'm I
can't go I can't even go to Nashville by personally cannot
go to Nashville anymore. Okay, certainly not Tennessee State
University. They have a new rule in their policy.
Their school policy close.
whistling in a suggestive manner may qualify as sexual harassment
and can get students expelled or employees fired, those caught
making suggestive or insulting sounds or making suggestive or
obscene gestures. This is Tourettes man. Also face similar
consequences, as well as students or staff who joke about
sex on campus. joking about sex on campus can get you expelled.
joking about that rule could get you you
already. I'm already expelled.
Someone wrote me well is what lame school is this?
Tennessee State University? Yeah, it's
a big Yeah.
I can see the spreading though I can see that spread.
Tennessee State, as far as I know, known for incest.
Hello, Tennessee. Dvorak is John C. dvorak.org. Would be the
email.
I'm just calling the school, not the state.
Just that someone launched this app. Me I thought it was
interesting. Because I was I was watching the signing of the
NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act still combing
through it, then I hope to get the tax bill today or tomorrow
whenever so I can actually tell you what I think is in it or
what it says. But when you see pence behind Trump, he you know,
you just gotta wonder what's going on in that guy's mind. And
his eyes. His eyes are kind of like little slitty slits. And
he's kind of just looking off. He's always looking around.
Someone said, what if pence? Maybe, you know, depends has
quite a team. Yeah, he's all he's already registered to run
for president, I think has any?
I don't know. Could be Yeah, make sense?
Yeah. And he specifically is very adamant about not being in
a room with another woman. Without his wife.
He's really adamant about that he's
got maybe this is his long game.
This would be a great long game. I mean, it's also possible. We
don't know any of this. But it's also possible, we just look at
possibilities. That trout Trump, I had told pence, he's only
going to be in for one turn, because he's going to be too old
to get keep going on this stupid job. And I think that's what he
thinks of it. And he had Dan pinch to groom himself to run
against you know, Gillibrand will be one of the competitors.
I have some information about that she's being promoted as a
presidential candidate in a number of different venues. Yes.
Oh, well, I have to do is read the latest article on her in
Vogue magazine, which I was reading a part of before the
show.
And from your personal copy, printed it out.
And Vogue magazine, you know, is is designed, it has a it has a
target audience. Let's put it that way that is it very
susceptible to this sort of thing. Let me read from the
wall, especially when Vogue had that entire pictorial of teenage
girls. 13 year old girls dressed up as sluts. And do you remember
that I haven't forgotten that. Being it ladies and gentlemen,
being it being.io Bing it. And you can see, this was really,
really disturbing. But yeah, okay. So Vogue magazine. Yeah,
they are on top of the morality tree.
Yeah. And it was, you know, was renamed the president of Planned
Parenthood. What's her name? The good looking woman who's mean?
President Planned Parenthood. She says she came and spoke
George Richardson. Yeah. Camila. Wherever. Camille? Yeah.
Camille, Camille. She came and spoke to our national convention
this year. And she just got people on their feet. She has a
bridge talking about Gillibrand. She has a personality and a
drive that people relate to people outside New York. And to
me, that's exciting. Can she imagine Gillibrand running for
president? Quote, I can imagine Kirsten, doing anything she puts
her mind to. And there's a drought, this article is
different. The writer is asking people whether she'd be a good
president, or should should you run in 2020. And I think she's,
she's one of them, women that are gonna run in 2020. And I
also see that I was if you read Jilla brands, bio in the
Wikipedia, she also played dirty when she ran for Congress, to
the point where the wife of the guy she beat in a republican
district said it was the filthiest thing she's ever seen.
She was very she was just, she was completely discouraged by
out What a nasty woman does Gillibrand is even though she
seems so sweet and she's a Hillary. She's a Hillary
protege. In fact, the Vogue magazine article written about
her again seven years earlier by the same writer. I think the
title of that is called the Hillary's protege something like
that. So she's, she's, she's healer in the pocket. And I
think that there is a I think there's in the Democratic Party.
I think there is a split between the Clinton faction and the
Obama faction, which represents the Kennedy faction, I think the
Kennedy faction and the Obama faction. On one side of the
aisle and I think the Clinton factions on the other within the
party and I think that Kamala Harris or Kamal or whatever you
want to call them alto. Harris is you'd be fired for that.
Kamala Harris is the is going to be representing the the other
side of this argument she's going to run for president and
she's the black woman and the Kirsten and whoever else thinks
they're gonna run. I think Cory Booker, who I believe is
probably even though he's black is probably on the Clinton side
of the equation. It's going to be more interesting this next
and 2020 but whether Trump runs in 2020 and I think he might if
people like Kirsten run, because I think he just likes to
ridicule people like that. It's just interesting. It's going to
be a very interesting lead in
and this completes your sexual harassment update.
With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you John C. Where the C stands for crack of harass
Devorah Ack.
Any morning you and Mr. Adam curry, and Mr. Chips his team

morning to Mike Riley brought us the artwork for episode nine or
eight nine titled that stick control stick controls that he
gave us the artwork friend of pecker it was the National
Enquirer mock up with Trump and Weinstein. And we use it even
though we really typically discourage the use of an episode
number because it had the episode number in the artwork.
Yes, we don't like that because sometimes the artwork can be
used. I mean, we have a lot of artwork that's backed up. And
sometimes it might be useful in another future show or in a
newsletter, excuse me, or in a lot of different venues.
But limited to one shot, right? I don't like it. But we do have
a few people

Again, another show Sunday and please remember us for that
show.org/n
A we got the weekend coming up so make sure that you are out
there propagating our formula. Our
formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
shut up slave just shut up. Already. Ah. Oh, this is what
important news before you get to I know what you're gonna do.
Kebab is safe. Oh, yes.
The what was that? How was it unsafe to begin with? I still
haven't heard that explanation. I
had no I mean, with safe I mean that the lawmakers voted to
block the use of phosphates in Frozen kebab meat.
Why were they being used?
This was your beat. I'm not Mr. Chemical. So but I don't know.
But I posited at the time that this was a does she use the word
positive code word? Hmm. Yeah. That this was a distraction from
the Monsanto case.
Ah, yes, that's right. That's what you posited and I think
they probably were right. Yeah.
And they voted 373 to 272 and it's no problem you can continue
to use phosphates in your kebab. So Britain is saved they are
very happy and I am happy to about the shwarma now before you
launch into the more Jones thing I just wanted to mention I
watched all the channels it was hard to miss because everybody
was so sad but everyone not just giddy but all the three cable
news networks were breaking in coming back and we got an update
it was going very fast you know the information was coming in
just lightning speed are interesting. know there were
other things going on in the world and cheese people is like
that was not the most important thing ever. But a couple of the
Democrats couple of points. First of all, CNN is magic wall
that John King operates. They got to update that it says
powered by Microsoft. Hello 1986 Could you please once you put
your your logo on it your square colored logo that would be
smart. No, no, they don't do that. And then I remembered that
wasn't John King married to one of the other reporters.
Sexual harassment? Well,
he was married to Dana Bash or was married to Dana Bash. And I
just want to because I know that we talked about it and I and I
just wanted to remember exactly what her history was. That you
know Dana Bash is
yes, she's the one who looks like she's an alien just dropped
in from space satellite. I'm just playing saucer.
So let me give you her career path and you tell me
oh, here we go.
without even mentioning a word. I know where you're headed.
Okay, she's, she went to UC George Washington University
as a start.
After college right away she joined CNN as a producer of
their weekend programs such as late addition Evans and Novak
and inside politics later she began producing programming
specializing in coverage of the US Senate. What do you think?
What do you think?
If you're gonna play spot the spook? I'm not completely
convinced a spa wait for it.
Spot the spoon. Everybody wants
to smile.
And then she married Jeremy bash, where she got her last
name was married to him from 1998 to 2007. Who was Jeremy
bash again? Oh, yes, former CIA chief of staff but then she
married fellow CNN correspondent John King in 2008 gave birth to
his son in June 2011 And then they separated in 2012. And
they're now working together although I've noticed there's no
tossing back and forth you're like Hey Dana, what do you think
and we she goes Thanks John.
Dec none of that. Anyway the the kid was a gray
I just just needed to remind everybody how the Operation
Mockingbird is still alive and well she's a spook came right
behind it she's a spook got married to this be met the spook
in this book.
Spoke John King always looked like a spook. He
may he may be a spook, although he has a very serious
journalistic background. I started it I actually I got
pulled his his LinkedIn to hold him. Yeah, no, I think it was
completely incompatible. Those two maybe he found out like what
your spook
would be here. Some guys don't like career, career
85 He joined Associated Press. He started as a writer. In 91,
he was named chief political correspondent head of the APS
political coverage. Then he won the 91 top reporting prize from
a piece managing editors association for his coverage of
the Gulf War. Here's what happened. He was like, you know,
he couldn't live with her. You walked in as a spook and I had
to start as a writer and Associated Press.
Yes, she gets right to the top. Yeah. It's very hard to go from
Associated Press into one of the front ends or
anything. It's any job after that is tough. Anyway, I just
thought I'd mentioned that because it just popped in my
head and just want to make sure everybody remembers where the
spooks our
faces are crawling with these guys, and they're very biased
and they they're given their marching orders and they do what
they're told. And they can't talk about it because they've
signed these agreements and their lifetime. So they can't
mention anything so it's crazy and why we put up with it is
beyond me. Think nondisclosure agreements should be outlawed.
Yeah. Yeah. All non disclosures all including government when
should all be outlawed? Silicon
Valley is filled with non disclosure. We know that
most of them are already did courts have already deployed
it and just to call this a call back all of us to call one of
the women of tech going to out some of these aihole tech
reporters. Okay,
I'm just saying they doubted Biddle. That's one that's one.
Yeah, there's some people that I know for a fact that have gone
from job to job because they've been fired for sexual harassment
and there they weren't. And why are
the women of technology Tech Tech? Why are they so why are
they what are they afraid of? Is it such a great place? Someone
has such power over the technology right? I don't know.
But there's a lot of a lot of technology publications you and
I know a lot of people there certainly do to reduce dues
dudes
disappointed
Yeah, well, they got a pass for some reason. I guess name is
Alec Baldwin, Johnny dab.
I mean, Alec Baldwin. That is really for the guy who eat
called a way let me call the Gay Guy of fag on the streets.
He's done. Oh, can I say he's a re did some race stuff. I think
he's used the N word maybe I'm not sure what the racial thing
was. But he did a slur and that crazy recording and his way
treated Kim Basinger, you know his wife,
which just treating Kim Baysinger poorly is egregious in
my book any day.
We will you don't know she's not nuts. But
well, you always warn me Don't marry an actress. Yeah.
You don't know. But she's, you think that you'd be you know,
has no signs of that she doesn't ever flipped out in public or
anything. She's Gora phobic, which is kind of nutty.
And how do you know this?
It was a big deal. They were talking about it during this
during this era when Alec was having trouble with his 11 year
old. They talked about Kim being an agoraphobic it could have
been a smear, what is it Gore phobic again, that means you
can't leave the house. Ah. You know, people in this, there's
been movies about it. And it's always hard to understand. But
it's the guys who stay here in the house, they can't get out.
They sort of tried to go outside and maybe they get the mail and
they gotta rush back in the house because they don't feel
safe in public. And it's a real problem.
Alright, so we have this election, this special election,
which interestingly, Europe is all over and I was reading the
morning publications in Gitmo nation, Europe, US. And
everyone's like, Ah, it's the start of a new world. Like Ah,
finally, finally, things are turning around in America.
Well, there was a couple of anomalies in this thing that I
had to look into to find out what really happened. None of
the network's and I mean, none of them. And even the people who
actually gave me the information I needed to figure out what was
going on here. The whole thing again, this is again, they're
Democrats spinning their wheels was about Trump. Yep, this guy
was a bad guy. And and if you listen to Amy Goodman, I think I
have one I have a couple of clips from her but I gotta get
the right one because they don't want to mix these up.
This is slightly twisted analysis, maybe?
Yes, this listen, I just want you to hear
this. Tuesday's vote was highly divided by race and gender, with
African American voters, particularly women largely
responsible for defeating Roy Moore Are overall 96% of African
American voters voted for Doug Jones with a staggering 98% of
all black women voting for Jones. In contrast, nearly 70%
of white voters voted for Roy Moore, a full 63% of white women
voted for more despite more being accused by multiple women
of sexually harassing or assaulting them when they were
teenagers. One as young as 14, Democratic strategist Simone
Sanders, who served as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders press
secretary during his presidential campaign said
quote, Doug Jones would not have won today without the turnout we
saw from African American voters. Black women have been
absolutely clear in their support for democratic policies
and Democratic candidates. It's high time for Democrats to
invest in that effort.
Okay, so that was like, you know, that was kind of her
breakdown of what was going on. It was very, I thought it was
loosely explained, there was no real reason for a lot of these
phenomenons to be taking place. And here's a clip I wanted you
to play and I didn't find it. Sorry, more support from Trump.
But President Donald Trump, who repeatedly endorsed Roy Moore
did acknowledge Morris defeat
tweeting. Okay,
this is bullcrap, then Amy Goodman should be ashamed of
herself. Donald Trump promoted this guy Luther strange. To be
more now I want you to listen to any of the newscast. Nobody
mentions this. All they do is mention the very end where Trump
had without it. He had no choice. He's the guy who's a
Republican. What's he supposed to do? I mean, other people
didn't vote for him. And they said they were Republicans but
no, no, no, it was
so it was so poorly explained. Tina, and I had to look up the
whole history of the special election to get even get to the
strain to Luther strip, lose a stranger's name. Yeah, you're
right. It was because no one cares about delivering any
information. No, so
screw Luther strange here. We
just want to hate Trump hate the president. 2018 2020.
Here is the make it time yeah, I'm
writing it down.
Yeah, you win that you win that voice.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Now I got some tidbits of of the election from PBS and I want you
to play this one. This is the more Jones PBS. tidbits Trump
and the wrong one queued up at Trump. Yep.
We want jobs, jobs, jobs. So get out and vote for Roy Moore.
Jobs, jobs.
wouldn't stop.
This was a video clip of Trump supporting more. He had the most
bored look on his face. He said V support Roy Moore in a down
tone. Right. And he and he threw his arms out as though What am I
supposed to do? I didn't want this guy. I wasn't for this guy.
I was for Luther strange. Anybody but this guy. In fact,
there was people that wouldn't vote for this guy. And it so But
meanwhile, the media plays at the oh, he was a huge fan of
this guy more. Like Roy Moore was a douche bag. Yeah, he was a
Bible thumping, douche bag period. He's always dumping the
Bible. He wanted to know separation of church and state.
He said all these things. He was just any like a chase teenagers
when he was in his 30s which may or may not have been okay. The
point is, is that he was for a guy such a religious zealot. You
think you have a little bit, you know, integrity. Yeah. And some
and he also looked like a creep. He had that look, that's that
Southern look of somebody you just won't like, but let's play
these tidbits is on PBS is more John Jones tidbits one.
Today Joan said President Trump reached out to him with a
gracious phone call.
And we talked about finding that common ground to work together
and he invited me over to the White House to visit as soon as
I get up there
with a surprisingly strong turnout for a special election,
voters in one of the most Republican states repudiated the
party's nominee Roy Moore. In the closing days, he was dogged
by decades old accusations of sexual misconduct with
teenagers. Thank you. You know, last night more refused to
concede
and realize when the vote is this close, that it's not over.
And we still got to go by the rules about this recount
provision.
But the Alabama Republican Party declared that the race was over.
This morning, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee agreed
tweeting God wasn't registered to vote in Alabama but the
people who voted did speak and it wasn't close enough for
recount.
So, so this guy is also a poor loser is really a bad guy in
terms of like it's somebody that should be the EVP go into this
play tidbit too, which is spelled TW P
he had a cute horse though.
He had a great looking horse.
Another crucial factor, right in votes after Alabama Republican
Senator Richard Shelby said he didn't vote for more.
Well, I'd rather see as the Republican win, but I hope that
Republican would be a write in I couldn't vote for Roy Moore.
There were about 23,000 Write in ballots, roughly the same as
Jones's margin of victory.
Yeah, it was interesting that the right info which was a
protest vote by the by the Republicans who won't vote for a
Democrat, you're talking to here's what happened
politically, there was Republicans that won't vote for
a Democrat so they but they don't mind the Democrat gets in,
but they don't they're gonna vote for him. Right. And so they
got so the guy got him large because of this all right, in
campaign, but let's listen to the tidbits three and then I
will explain exactly why this Doug Jones won in the first
place. The African American community thank you.
shows his improbable victory was fueled by a diverse coalition,
including strong support from African American voters.
Today, exit polls show that 96% of African American voters
supported Jones, they made up 29% of the electorate, about the
same as turned out for President Barack Obama's 2012 re election.
basketball legend Charles Barkley and Alabama native said
it was a wake up call for Democrats,
it's time for them to get off their ass and start making life
better for black folks, and people who are poor.
All right. Now, the thing that got me is is almost you know,
they the way they present this, and I think it's a racist way of
doing it. They present as 96 98% of women in particular of the
black community came out and they ultimately everybody voted,
they all came out and voted higher than any normal special
election. And then you in the way it's presented as well. It's
because blacks are just a bunch of dumb fuck, Democrats will
always vote for the Democrat. That's the way it's being
presented the way I see it, and they keep harping on this black
all the blacks voted for the guy, and it just as discouraging
because, uh, well, I guess blacks can think for themselves.
What they don't realize is that there's a history here with Doug
Jones. And it's major, major major for the black community.
This is a major, isn't it? It's major. And the thing is, is that
nobody brings this up, and I never heard this until I enjoy
Amy Goodman who didn't even realize what she what she was
talking about what she was dealing with here did a little
interview with a reporter from Mother Jones, a woman who
explains and when you hear the story, you're going to hear the
black community in this deep south have a long memory and
they and and I think the White Professor they have a long
memory when it comes to something like you're gonna hear
because they've been putting up with a lot of crap for a long
time. And yeah, I guess it's racist. But listen to this and
you're gonna understand why, why this Doug Jones guy is not only
a superhero, but he could be a presidential candidate and
that's why Trump me who wants to warm up to the guy because this
guy, what he did is beyond compare.
That's Doug Jones significantly quoting Dr. Martin Luther King,
explain Doug Jones history as a prosecutor prosecute cuting Ku
Klux Klan members who are involved with the bombing of the
16th Street Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. Of
course, the prosecution happened much later than that.
Yes, it did. You know, when that bomb went off in 1963, the
situation in Birmingham was that the police were essentially in
cahoots with the kk k. And you know, it was impossible to put
on a trial and bring the bombers to justice. And so they they
were not tried for a long time. One of them was put away in the
70s when Alabama elected a progressive Attorney General,
but that person could not get the support of the FBI to go
further. And so it was not until the late 90s When Doug Jones was
a federal prosecutor in Birmingham that they were able
to put this together and Jones you know, I've talked to people
who worked with him on this case who are in his office and they
said, you know, this was a meticulous dog ID three year
process. Jones did an incredible amount of work. It was not
guaranteed. You know, you have a cold case it's 40 years old.
That is a remarkable thing to be able to pull off and And Jones,
you know, by all accounts was incredibly dedicated to bringing
these people to justice and for turning a page in Alabama
history. And so you, I think see that again last night in his
speech, the idea that, you know, the Alabama that he knows and
loves is not the one that we think of when we read about the
1960s. And we hear about the bombings, and he wants to sort
of turn that page and Wow.
No, no, no, no Ding, ding is not sufficient. Clear? Cheese. You
know, all I heard from anybody who was about Doug Jones. Well,
they use this racist poster, this racist ad. That's all I
heard. Yeah, well, you
didn't hear this. Oh, no.
So he opened up these cases, how 40 years later? Yeah, she's
and found the guy is guilty. No, thanks to the FBI and the
corrupt police. Ca.
Yeah, so now I see what you're saying. He's a massive
candidate. But he's not. He's not female or black. That's a
problem.
No, yeah. He might as well be black. He's got the black
community behind him big time. And that's the reason is not
because they just vote Democrat. Ha.
That's baffling as No, actually why am I why am I surprised?
Yes, it's our show. Why are you surprised? Yeah.
What am I thinking? Oh,
okay. That's a piece of news. I didn't know well, yeah. That's
the guy to vote for. Yeah. No doubt about it. Particularly in
the south, particularly if you're black. Yeah, man have and
have all that history there. Cheese. Nice. All right. Nice.
Good
evening, Amy. Even Amy had to keep it on. Oh, it's you know,
sexual Trump. You know, they were man, you
know, had nothing to do with it. It's just this makes total
sense.
Yeah, it makes nothing but sense. I'd vote for the guy.
Yeah. And jurors Republican as they come.
I'm not Republican. I'm an independent. I got my card
carrying I get an independent Ghana card.
No, oh, you show me your card. Show me I was vice write your
papers. Show me your papers, man.
Anyway, so that concludes that whole thing. And when I heard
that, by the way, I was really irked. And I was irked at the
media. The media has given us none of this background. They
all they did was they're looking for more ways to slam Trump and
the Republicans. It's pathetic. And now they're extrapolating.
Oh, this is a big turning point for the party. The Democrats
have got to got him on the run. So they're in for a big shock
when a lot of people in fact, Schumer came out with that some
commentary. There was like, oh, yeah, let me see if I can find
this is like, I think there's a Schumer clip in here. Polar Bear
Facebook warning. Where are you Schumer? Polar Bear tea. There
it is. This is that this is the next issue that I want to talk a
little bit about, which is the tax bill. But you listen to
Schumer and Schumer was this about the tax bills, not about
this election. But these Democrats. They're I think
they're frightened to death because they don't know what's
going on. They don't know what to do about it. They're, you
know, they're,
they have no
topic of conversation. They have no, nothing they're promoting,
that's positive. They just, it's all anti Trump, and it's also
the anti anti tax bill. Let's play Schumer and I want you to
give me I'm gonna ask you a question about logic
for Christmas. And when I say giant, I mean giant.
Meanwhile, Democrats argue the bill would hurt middle class
families, while giving permanent tax breaks to the wealthy.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer referencing last night's
Senate election in Alabama warned Republicans that passing
the current tax bill would unleash political backlash in
the midterm elections.
Our hope is that Mitch McConnell will hear what the voters in the
suburbs of Alabama said, help us. It's our hope that Mitch
McConnell will realize proceeding with this tax bill
will be a dramatic, dramatic death knell for the Republican
Party in 2018.
All right now, is He? Is he a consultant for the Republicans?
You should be
what what does he care that the Republicans do? Wouldn't he want
that? Wouldn't he want the Republicans to fall apart in
2018 and lose all their seats? Wouldn't? Isn't that something
logically that he'd desire? Yeah. Well, then why would he
say any of this? I don't know. Because he's full of crap.
That's why
well, here's Nancy Pelosi with her response to the tax bill.
Oh, But this news conference and on the floor you Democrats talk
about this bill often in very apocalyptic terms, but isn't
really what's going on is that many people are getting a very
modest tax cut, and some people are getting a tax increase,
while a lot of us is also going to business, but it's not the
end of the world.
Yeah, it is the end of this healthcare, life death. This is
Armageddon, Armageddon, this is a very big deal. Because you
know why? There's really a very hard way to come back from this.
They take us further, more deeply into debt. What can you
do but raise taxes? They contend that they're a gift to corporate
America, a trillion and a half dollars could be up to a
trillion dollars will be paid for by the growth that creates,
and even their own people say, nonsense. Not true. Not true. So
let's be truthful with the American people about that. They
throw a few crumbs to the middle class where they give with one
hand, they take away and bounty with the other. And why? Because
it is in their DNA, to give tax cuts to the rich. That's their
purpose and coming to Congress.
It's in their DNA they're born so only ways
they come to Congress born to
cut taxes.
That's why they're so thrilled with Donald Trump is president
because he's a trickle down guy. Oh, and this has
that's a sexual thing.
It's a sex sexual thing. You
when sexual innuendo? Yeah, trickle down. I know dossier,
peeing on beds. Yeah,
this president because he's a trickle down guy. And this has
never paid for itself. It's never created think
23 and me actually has a category. When you do your DNA
tests, oh, trickle
down jobs, and it's always increased the debt.
Okay. Thanks, Nancy. If you don't want I just like to stay
with a little bit of Trump hate because I had some funny ones.
Before you
do that. I do want to play this tax bill. Misunderstanding clip
says we're on tax bill. Okay.
Good, because I can't wait to read this thing. I'm very
curious.
At the White House today, Republicans proclaimed they're
on the verge of a big win on tax reform. The President with a
Christmas promise, we want to
give you the American people a giant tax cut for Christmas. And
when I say giant, I mean giant.
Back on the Hill protest. Protesters say it will hurt the
working and middle class as lawmakers huddled in the
basement of the Capitol to finalize the bill. Even top
Republican negotiators admit it's not a totally done deal. So
do you have a deal?
Well, it's going forward very positive. It feels very close to
an agreement. So
even the president is cautious.
I mean, we are so close right now. So close. Fact almost I
don't want to talk about it. Maybe we shouldn't talk about
it.
Tonight, they have agreed to this helping corporations that
drops the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21%. caps the
mortgage interest deduction at $750,000. A middle ground
between the Senate and House versions repeals the Obamacare
individual mandate that all Americans have insurance, which
could leave 13 million more Americans without insurance in
the next decade. And to help the wealthy it lowers the top
individual tax rate from 39 down to 37%. How does that help
middle class Americans,
this bill is going to lower the tax burden on working families
on middle income families and it's going to generate
tremendous economic growth. But
what about the deficit? It's still unclear how much this will
ultimately cost. A new analysis predicts it could add more than
$1.5 trillion to the nation's debt. And a previous analysis of
the Senate version said Americans making $75,000 or less
will pay more over the next 10 years. When Democrats insist the
long term benefits will go to the wealthy.
Most of what's there for the middle class is written in
disappearing ink.
The Republican tax
bill is one that ever Ebenezer Scrooge would love
to bad you fumbled that one lady? Yeah, but I missed the
punch line.
Let me say this about
a guy this couple things. There's a lot of could do. This
could add? Yes. There's a lot of that. And the other thing is, is
that they keep the Democrats keep emphasizing that it will
increase your taxes if you make under $75,000 over 10 years.
Meaning the thing is the disappearing ink references that
in 2025
is when that that provision is sunsets. Yeah, or 2021 of the so
it's not going to happen for 10 years at least is
as you know, depending on what the political climate is, at the
time, it could be continued. It could be even more As soon as it
can happen, these are desert two parties that are both, both of
them lying to the public Democrats lying more, I think
more and worse. It's just disingenuous, listening to these
people, what are they got against this thing? What's going
to make the deficit go up more? It's already outrageous.
Let me say, let me say this about that. So they mentioned
health care. And the
that's another disingenuous remark, because it's not going
to pull the rug out from anybody, it's just going to mean
that they don't have to join a system. I had
a little experience with the system yesterday. For a number
of reasons, I had to get health care through the exchange before
they close for the open enrollment period. Then I'm not
sick. So that's not one of the reasons but I had no health
insurance. In fact, I was kind of a little bit against the
whole idea. And I paid the fine. Last year, like me, I did
because I was looking at $1,500 a month, because I'm over 55, I
made it over 50, I'm not 53 I'm not even I feel over 55 today.
So I had to go through the system and get some coverage.
And I was just looking for anything that I'll pay my
deductibles and just you know, if I'm, if I'm half dead, I
don't want to eat after or murder my daughter, I have to
worry about it. That's pretty much all I was looking for.
Because I'm gonna get the concierge thing here in Austin,
where you pay 150 bucks a month, you can see your doctor whenever
you want. It's a great system to kind of Co Op, we've talked
about it before. So I go to healthcare.gov. And I fill out
my you got to fill in a lot of information. And before I even
get to the plans, I've filled in my phone number and my email
address in my zip code. I click submit. And I haven't even
gotten to know the different plans, and my phone starts
ringing. I have received over 60 calls since yesterday. And they
all like call from the same area code has my cell phone and they
switch it up and they'll move to 512 for Texas and it's all these
brokers. Before I even got into the system, my information was
given to broker in fact, I leave my phone I just I'm gonna switch
it on because one of them will call like, hey, it's an y'all I
know you're looking for health care, I can find something for
you in any state just and they're texting me. It's really
invasive. And I think it's wasn't the whole idea that this
website, which is having problems again, apparently it's
just
ridiculous if the government websites giving your phone
number away immediately, immediately. Yeah, before you're
even done with the process. Ah, idea. Okay. You have anybody who
wants to harass?
Yeah, yeah, it's one of those. Let me see if I can find one
here. I'll just so you know, my cell phone, I can tell everybody
it starts with 650 because I got my phone when I was in San
Francisco. And that's Palo Alto area that's Northern. It's a
Euro your neck of the woods kinda. So here's Pescadero
California. Let me just play this one for you. Let me see.
How does this. We go? Oh, hold it up to the phone.
Hi, this is Auntie I'm calling because it's open enrollment.
And that means it's time to get a great health insurance plan at
the price you can afford.
Now that's a robot. Let me see there were a couple of people
who called as well. But it's the it's the system just switches
now just try different area code. Let me see the here's,
here's one from Pennsylvania. Let's see.
Now that's not the right one.
But anyway, you get the idea of if one calls now. Or during the
show, we'll answer it. And I'll tell them that they don't stop
calling dig I need some healthcare up. Here we go.
Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio. Hello.
Hello, my friend. I hear you're feeling ill
from insurance. Yeah, I guess so. I feel really ill. I mean,
joining the show today talk to you later.
Was that I got trolled Joker. I got a troll. I got trolled.
Whoa, you got bud slammed a good one. You're dead man. Good one.
This is of course it's a show day and it wouldn't be show day.
If there wasn't something big going on. The FCC just voted to
overturn the net neutrality rules. And I wanted to play a
little game. Because in the last Yes, well on
those rules, the rules that have never are actually been put in
place there as the proposed. Yes. So what's changed nothing.
We have people and somebody's writing me all things have
changed since these new rules. Nothing been changed, nothing
has been
changing. Nothing's changing at all. But the rules have never
implemented, never enforced or
implemented. These are just bogus rules that weren't ever
implemented just sitting in limbo. Okay.
In a last ditch effort, there was an open letter. A 43. Now
wasn't 43 paid an open letter sent the ad was 43 pages behind
the open letter
to
Roger Wicker Brian shallow Schatz, Marsha Blackburn,
Michael F. Doyle. These are all ranking members. And title is
internet pioneers and leaders Tell the FCC you don't
understand how the internet works. Now I thought it would be
interesting because what here's what grabbed me this you can
look in any in any press publication, internet pioneers.
Oh, okay. So what exactly is an internet pioneer? Are you an
internet is your pioneer or a poser? I guess is the game I'd
like to play. Go. I could do that pioneer reposer Here we go.
Okay. These are people who call themselves internet pioneers.
Right?
Here we go. And actually says in this document Stephen M. Belvin.
FTC Chief Technologist, he calls himself an internet pioneer, Tim
Berners. Lee, I'll give him pioneer.
He's a pilot, you know, even then it would be questionable
because he's not an internet pioneer. Here's a
web Wide Web pioneer. Wow. But he's, ya know, I
give him a give it to him. He's a good guy. John Borthwick
CEO of beta works. Internet pioneer.
I don't know. I never met him. Scott.
Bradner never even heard of the guy. No. Internet pioneer,
Vinton G CERF Yeah. Well, you
have to give him some because what did he What did he Yeah, ip
ip guy.
Steve Steven and protocol. Steven Crocker. Sounds familiar.
Could be David Farber. I think so. FCC Chief Technologist.
Maybe Martin Hellman calls himself I've
heard a hit with him. I think maybe he might be.
He says Internet Security pioneer.
Could be Brewster Calle
Brewster has over here. I
mean, it's Internet Archive, but he's not a pioneer of the
internet. Is he? He didn't do
any of the protocols or anything that I did I know of I like
Brewster.
I'd like him to. How about Theodore home Nelson? Ted
Nelson. That is
hypertext pioneer.
He did invented hypertext you got that and he's always wrote
it wrote a lot and I don't know that it's he was involved with
this kind of stuff before the internet made it now I don't
think so. Not really.
Oh. Not a pioneer. David P Reed. Never heard this internet
pioneer. We should know him. How can we not know a
lot of these guys are you know, professors here Paul? Worked for
the military.
Paul Vixie. Don't know him. Internet pioneer. Stephen Wolf.
Sounds familiar. He's been pioneer Steve Wozniak. How is
that a pioneer of the internet?
I don't see him being a pioneer of the internet unless you call
you know inventing floppy disk controller in a Color Computer.
having anything to do with it. So clearly Mrs. Is not is this
is not
clearly missing from the list is John C. Dvorak and Adam Clark
curry.
Well, I wouldn't call either one of us internet
podcast pioneers. Yes. Listen to this though. Listen to their
note. We How can you start a letter like that? We are the
pioneers and technologists who created and now operate the
internet. Well, fuck y'all.
And of lessons they get declaration or
letter. Some of the innovators and business people who like
many others depend on it for our livelihood. We are writing to
respectfully urge you to call on FCC Chairman Ajit pi to cancel
the December 14 vote. This proposed order would repeal key
network neutrality protections that prevent Internet access
providers from blocking content websites application slowing or
speeding up services or class of servers and charging online
services for access to fast lanes Internet access providers
customers. The proposed order would also repeal oversight over
other unreasonable discrimination, unreasonable
practices and over interconnection with last mile
internet X As providers, the proposed order removes long
standing FCC oversight over internet access providers
without an inadequate inadequate replacement to protect consumers
free markets and online innovation. In other words, your
racket. Yeah.
Well on that, can you back off two sentences and read those
again?
Yes, it is important to understand that the FCC Sorry,
wrong one. The proposed order removes long standing FCC
oversight over internet access providers without an adequate
replacement to protect consumers free markets and online
innovation.
Yeah, that's what I saw another words, these guys for whatever
reason. Remember Vint Cerf?
He's a Google I know the reason he's a Google they want
to be the boss used to be an MCI, but the other guys are
Jeff, similar conflicts of interest. Yep. And that's what
it is. It's a conflict of interest. And I just said
Wozniak, he doesn't care. But it says clearly, if you read that
sentence again, that they want they are demanding that the FCC
take over the internet
chat. This is what
this is the company that people use just just
let me read a little more because I think it gets a little
a little nutty here.
They are demanding that the FCC take over the internet. That's
what that's said to me.
Yeah, so they can really quash competition, namely their
competition. It is important to understand that FCC has proposed
orders based on a flawed and factually inaccurate
understanding of internet technology. That's a that's
pretty brazen to say that these flaws and inaccuracies were
documented in detail in a 43 page long joint comments signed
by over 200 of the most prominent internet pioneers and
engineers and submitted to FCC on July 17. Despite this
comment, the FCC did not correct its misunderstandings but
instead Premise The proposed order on the very technical
flaws that comment explained. The technically incorrect
proposed order dismantles 15 years of targeted oversight from
both Republican and Democratic FCC chairs who understood the
threats that Internet access providers could pose to open
markets on the internet. And the experts comment was not the one
is there any discussion in this thing because you're not going
to read the whole thing you know, just to ask you if there's
any discussion of the fact that the government the same
government that these guys are like hoping to take over the
place that the government has allowed merger and acquisition
one after the another of some every small fry out there who
used to be an ISP and now are owned by Doug fact it happened
to you right there in your own backyard when Time Warner got
kicked out because they got bought out by somebody spectrum
became spectrum is their job. So I'm sure there's a bunch of
complaining about this sort of lack of of any sort of control
lack of oversight lack of concern. Is that in there
please
but here's what's interesting, because this guy's Geez and all
over himself. The experts comment was not the only one the
FCC ignored over 23 million comments have been submitted by
public that is clearly passionate about protecting the
internet via thanks to your your astroturf campaigns,
who also during the bots, bots, well,
the FCC could have been busted for bots, the FCC could not
possibly have considered these adequately. Indeed, breaking
with established practice, the FCC has not held a single open
public meeting to hear from citizens and experts about the
proposed order. Furthermore, the FCC online comments system has
been plagued by major problems the FCC has not had time to
investigate. These include bot generated comments that
impersonated Americans, including dead people, and an
unexplained outage of the FCC online common system that
occurred at the very moment. TV host John Oliver was encouraging
Americans to submit to the system. Mysterious so they're
implying Hold
on a second. Let me get this straight. These guys are
accusing the FCC about not understanding the internet. Yep.
And they don't see that they got to MIT they get overloaded a
system because of John Oliver. And they think instead of it
being overloaded because of John Oliver, they they actually think
yeah, or somebody does. Somebody thinks that just a somebody
pulled the plug.
Yeah, that's exactly that's what they're implying. But what's
interesting about the John Oliver comment who was heralded
as the pioneer of net neutrality, and he has all kinds
of conflict, but it's irrelevant. But here's what's
going around on the face bag. And it always starts with please
cut and paste widely. Yeah, because if you if you just like
something or share it with another
would another time code down your CV better
that way? I think I think you're right. Please do this and cut
and paste widely. Net Neutrality is about to disappear. Like you
can see it now.
I see the quarter mile, some net neutrality walking by.
Net Neutrality is about to disappear which will be truly
catastrophic. Follow John Oliver's instructions and tell
the agency we want equal access and equal speed for everyone.
Please do it now. It will take two minutes. Thanks to John
Oliver. There's a super easy way to do this. And then it goes on
to say go to go FCC yourself.com The shortcut John Oliver made to
the hard to find FCC comment page. He's so awesome. John
Oliver is the best. Goes on how it gives you instructions. These
poor misguided schlubs You're so misguided, but you know, you
know what the I'm not gonna read any of this 43 pages for you.
But I did read it. And what they're saying the FCC doesn't
understand is a difference between a dumb telephone
company, which is what they call the ISPs continuously Dumb, dumb
pipes, dumb network, which is very, very insulting to people
who run these networks. If you think that this stuff is easy,
you got another thing coming. It's, you know, I've heard Leo
Laporte say, yeah, it's just like, why you can't wait, what's
the problem? It's a big deal. I owned a data center, and I went
and it went bankrupt. That's how hard it is. It's a very capital
intensive. And, and really, a lot of work goes into making
exchanges work. But okay, they're just dumb pipes run by
dumb people do dumb stuff. So they're saying that the FCC did
not want to view them that way. Because FCC, believes the ISPs
provide important services, in addition to dumb pipes. And you
know, what the example that they use is DNS, which I think is
actually a pretty good example. Well, it's a very in the world,
for them to say, that's not an important service. Sure,
everyone wants you to enter 8.8 dot 8.8. So Google can control
your life. DNS is truly the DNA of the internet, you remove,
you've messed with DNS, don't mess up, you got problems, you
got big ass problems. Now, there are other other things. But in
general, what you said in the beginning is exactly that. You
don't want the government regulating what is legal content
and illegal traffic. And I would say
what's interesting is the irony of this letter, where they say
that the FCC doesn't understand the internet yet. They want the
FCC to take over the internet. How does that make any sense as
the you've already said, and you're trying to make the point
that the FCC are a bunch of boneheads that let's let them do
everything even worse, because it's just like Schumer and his
in his policies about what the Republicans should worry about.
I mean, come on, make up your mind. Yeah, and I want to remind
all these pioneers and everybody else
Hello, pioneers, we have a message for
you the same guys who said Oh, my God, whatever you do, don't
let the government have any involvement in the internet at
all.
Meanwhile, after the Amazon Google fractus Google is now
blocking Microsoft's YouTube Windows Phone app from accessing
any YouTube videos. Do the Why does no one see the irony in
this you're actually not getting you're they're throttling and
blocking content to YouTube users.
Makes it just makes me nuts. And people think we're the biggest a
holes in the world for being against net neutrality. Instead
of thinking clean. These guys have been around. It's something
different from a comedian on HBO, who's on once a week. Maybe
I should look into it or understand what's really going
on.
No, none of that
is frustrating for John Oliver. Yes
hero of the stupid
you made your point. Yeah. Well, I keep up thinking about I wrote
about five columns on this. Opinions are and I mean, there's
a few people that that care, but most don't give a shit They just
lockstep whatever you know John Oliver said it and you know
somebody else said it and all the pundits think it's right but
they don't see any downside they don't see the hypocrisy of
spending the whole early years of the internet saying don't let
the government get involved and now demanding they get involved.
Nobody sees that is nuts. it because
it's not about anything altruistic. It is altruistic
actually, it's not about anything for the people. It's
about them. It's all about them. It's about their companies and
the power they want to have. They want anyone in their way.
Anyone, anyone, anyone. What's your polar bear clip?
The polar bear clip as an ultramodern maybe,
is a teaser? For a I just thought it was hilarious. It was
a teaser for a special on the you know, the polar bears are
increasing in numbers. But they decided, it's like the powers
that be or the system has decided that no, it doesn't fit
in with the narrative. And I use that word. Now. Let's,
let's let's go back, go back to 2005 I believe when the original
and inconvenient truth came out, then very famously, there was a
shot of a polar bear on a little, you know, little slice a
little slice of ice looking really hungry. And very sad. And
the polar bears have died. By the way. You don't want to mess
with the polar bear. But the polar bears are dying. That's
the genesis of the story. So this is a special about it.
Yeah, this is a teaspoon of just from a couple of weeks ago.
Tonight on Nightline. Inside the melting Arctic Circle, where the
illusive polar bear is calling for survival,
their habitats complex world should be interested in this. As
their
environment disappears beneath their feet. These powerful
killers are moving inland towards humankind.
Is that the most frightened you've ever been in your life?
Our Amy Robach on a journey to the edge of the earth. There are
four polar bears right there swimming in the water. That's
incredible. With the Americans who call it home. Most people
here have firearms just in case. We've tried to scare mom, and
the scientists racing to save this vulnerable species. This
special edition of Nightline vanishing ice, the last American
Polar Bears, we'll be right back.
Well, it's as if we had coordinated this program today,
which we don't do. I picked up a little report on NPR from the
guy who wrote the book on polar bears. He went to Canada Navia
with this whole family and I think he went to it's a name of
a president this town.
I can't remember it's in the it's in the piece. And oh, oh,
in 2008 writer Zach Unger had a plan, he was going to save the
polar bears by writing an epic treatise on the demise of the
species.
My humble plan was to become a hero of the environmental
movement. I was going to go up to the Canadian Arctic, I was
going to write this mournful Elegy for the polar bears, at
which point I'd be hailed as the next coming of John Muir. And
again, this is NPR on aloft on the shoulders of my
environmental compatriots,
there was just one problem. Not all the polar bears seem to be
dying. He realized the truth about the polar bears was
complicated.
When I got up there, I started realizing that polar bears were
not in as bad shape as the conventional wisdom had led me
to believe, which was actually very heartening, but didn't fit
well with the book I'd been planning to write.
A lot of people are going to hear that and say, Wait a
second, all we've been told for a decade now is that the polar
bears are going extinct, and it's our fault. And they're all
dying, and the ice is shrinking, and their lives are soon going
to be.
Well, here's a fact that kind of blew me away. When I first
realized it. There are far more polar bears alive today than
there were 40 years ago. There are about 25,000 Polar bears
alive today worldwide. In 1973, there was a Global Hunting ban.
And so once once hunting was dramatically reduced, the
population exploded. So this is not to say that global warming
is not real, or is not a problem for the polar bears. But polar
bear populations are large. And the truth is that we can't look
at it as a monolithic population that is all going one way or
another.
You moved your whole family up north to do the research for
this book.
What was that like?
Well, you know, the idea was to use my children as bait. Of
course, the polar bears love little kids. They're they're
perfect snacks.
But we that part
in this town in northern Manitoba, where polar bears
literally will walk down Main Street, people leave their
houses and their cars unlocked and it's perfectly good for them
just to duck into any open door. You You can find when there's a
polar bear.
So there are literally polar bears on the streets, walking
the streets with people from time to time.
Well, I don't want to oversell it, there are definitely polar
bears that come into town, there are polar bears that will take a
swipe at garbage cans, there are polar bears that eat people's
dogs. But Churchill has developed a really innovative
polar bear Alert program. And the way that works is you dial a
phone number 675. Bear, when you see a bear, and a bunch of
wildlife conservation officers in a truck with a bunch of guns
come by, and they kind of scare the bears out of town, and they
have a progression that they use. First, they will fire
firecracker shells, then they'll move up to rubber bullets, and
then if necessary, as a last resort, move up to real bullets,
then they'll actually kill the polar bear if they have to. If
they have to.
That's very, very rare. They don't want to do that. These are
Conservation Officers. So their job is to keep bear safe.
So there you go. And then the entire report after that little
bit that he mentioned. No one ever said. So maybe this global
warming thing is bullcrap.
Well, he said in there that he did believe he did. Yeah, that
global warming is happening, probably. And it may be
affecting polar bears, but not necessarily adversely.
There there growing in population. They've never been
as big in the past 40 years. I got emails from I think a Dutch
listener or someone who may have listened. Or it was told to
email me I don't know. Like, I like you, man. But what's up
with you and climate change? The polar bears are dying. And I
know that
polar bears are dying. Yep. In the letter. Yes, literally,
well, well,
he's an idiot. He's Dutch. So he said, The polar bears are dying.
You shouldn't have a bitch.
He's a nut because of it. This is a known fact that comes up in
the conversation all the time that the bowl polar bears aren't
dying, but they keep harping on it. This is the same kind of
litany. There's like you got a checklist. Polar bears are
dying. Let's put that on the checklist has got to be checked
off. I mean, it's just annoying to see this kind of thing. Just
continue and continue and continue. It just unbelievable.
I mean, it's like fighting the net neutrality argument. It's
not. Is it worth the trouble? Well, we did get some income
today from a few people that want to be executive producers.
So yes, but I'm gonna
show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
want to thank a few people want to mention that you know it, we
got some people. It's not a big deal. But I mean, it's not like
you know, we're making tons of money today, but it still keeps
us going. So we're going to thank him. Starting with Tim

you've got
for the no agenda birthday list, it's a big one. So standby we
say happy birthday to Michael Cera man who turns 23 today
Happy Birthday. That's it one birthday today. Why no one
gonna trace it back nine months and figure out why. Yeah,
someone
was not going on. It was not someone was not going on at all.
Now. A couple things here. I've got a couple of things. I'd like
to share weightings. No no night knock I know because you want
the song to bow played at the end of the show. There's no nine
things there's no none. There's no title changes is bad. Bad.
Bad, bad, bad.
I have a couple of hate clips, which is always nice. Now
it's always nice here to no agenda show to have some hate
clips. This is
very hateful.
All Moroso amoroso the they have a fancy title for her there at
the White House. But she's basically in charge of
communicating with black people.
You know who I'm talking
about as amorosa?
Yeah, amorosa used to be a Trump's one of her side kicks on
his apprentice apprentice.
Yes. Well, big news. Everybody freaking out. Oh, she got she
got fired. She got escorted out of the White House that she
tried to bust into the west wing to talk to the president wire.
Now you think I'm exaggerating with that voice that I do. But
here on CNN this was really mind boggling to me. Maybe not that
anybody else but we have April Ryan, who I think broke the
broke the story. We have the host things Brooke Baldwin and
Angela rye Angela Ray is the one I want you to focus on this
clip. She was a she worked with the Congressional Black Caucus I
believe she was a gofer? I don't know, but maybe I'm
mischaracterizing, but I'd never got the idea. She had a very
important role at the Congressional Black Caucus, but
she's been a CNN commentator, and a major hater of anything,
Trump anything Republican. And this story comes up and let's
listen to her response.
Same weekend she came and saddled up next to me trying to
do something, again with the President, the former president
of the United BJs, who she's friends with to stir up some
controversy. And we also know we remember that famous tape with
Ed Gordon, where she that I guess was Friday, where she was
battling it out on the stage. It was it was very unladylike, it
was very it was ugly It was meant the
White House also in absolutely but the White House condone this
and so while again I'm no I'm no fan of Omarosa, I will say that
I find it interesting that the high drama person of at the high
drama high profile African American individual in the White
House would is no longer to be tolerated but there are lots of
other problematic high drama individuals and they still have
jobs.
Well Brooke what go ahead Angela, I want to hear you and
then I do want to talk about the black vote and and Alabama
that's
I want to talk about the black vote too but Brooke I'm gonna
get you can't do and what April in April Simone are too good of
people to do and that's just gonna be petty for a minute we
didn't already on the podcast April but by honey you have
never represented the community. You are skin folk. We don't own
you like Zara. Goodbye, good. writtens good back, do Angela
Angela. You know, I have much love for you. But you know what,
I don't delight in anyone's demise
that I'm not delighting her demise. I wish her the best but
God,
so happy that if I had to look up skin folk, I know your skins
over dead before? Yeah, it's in the urban dictionary. It means
years of same color. But you don't necessarily like the
person I know. You have skin folk, which means you're the
same color. Even though we don't like each other with skin folk.
Yeah. Oh man that Angela Wright is a hate hate. She's gonna get
sick from her hate.
Can you bro he is already interesting. We have her on this
on the CNN and she sounds like she's unhinged that
word for a while. And you ask the question. Why? Because
that's what they want. They want some unhinged people on the air.
And honestly, that's why I watch. But here's Omarosa with a
sit down, call me interview explaining splaining it
what happened, I resigned. And I didn't do that in the residence
as being reported. John Kelly, and I sat down in the Situation
Room, which is a very secure, very quiet room in the White
House. And we had a very candid conversation. And I wanted to
make the one year mark, that was one of the goals that I set out
to, and then get back to my life.
So you resigned you weren't fired as of now.
And you know, I I like to hear all of these interesting tales.
But I have to tell you that they're 100% False. One of the
things that I'd asked of those people who are making those
assertions, since they assert that I did it so publicly, is
wherever the pictures or videos if I had confronted John Kelly,
who was a very formidable person, it would garner enough
attention for anyone in the room to at least take a picture.
So apparently, this all came down to like some White House
Party and she was yelling and screaming at Kelly in
our video or something. The assertion that I would do that
in front of 600 guests at a Christmas party and no one has
reported that except for one individual who has a personal
vendetta against me, and so I have to tell you completely
false, unverified reporting, and John Kelly and I had a very
straightforward discussion about concerns that I had issues that
I raised, and as a result, I resigned and it will be taking
place January the 20th when I leave this very interesting
administration so
we're seeing that all these reports are coming from one
person but you
know, let's let's be clear only one person only one person no
one else has reported what she's reporting and this is the one
person who has attacked me for the last year so you know that
this is personal.
And that was April Ryan. Then I somehow I didn't I had a clip of
her report it was all male sources, sources, sources,
sources, sources, unnamed sources. Really,
by April Ryan is a bad actor.
But this black on black hate female black on black. Hey, you
got fired. She's ladies, but not as bad as the USA Today.
Editorial Board.
What do we know? Yes.
What do we know over there? USA Today is short still there. He
might be But he should quit
immediately. Oh,
the place has just gone downhill since it was turned Oh, used to
be run by it's a long story but right now who's in control of
his completely nuts? Well,
can I just read a little bit of this? Oh yeah, sure. It starts
off
and this is an editorial I believe in not an op ed. No,
it's the editorial
board. Yeah, um, so these is these who's on let me just say
there's a link who is on the editorial board there something
you never do let's say
but they don't have the font is this I don't have a good list
I've wondered well maybe you can look up who they
have a link and there's the link leads to no list now it
links to all of their opinions but doesn't list there whose
work
we had to before you read it we gotta get this guy's not Yeah,
editorial board. Just being a tea just being it being in a
being
just being it. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You have it yet. I'm gonna
be I'm looking at Yeah,
you're gonna bring it good. Okay, you have it? Yeah. We got
Bill Sternberg David musty Oh, Gil Lawrence. I don't know any
of these. Do on LDL Elston Josh Rivera, Eileen rivers,
anyone we know. Sondra Tory Greg's auroria No, no, no, baby.
No. Here we go. Let me just read this to you. Headline. Will
Trump's Lowe's ever hit rock bottom? He was the lead
president who would all but call a senator a whore. He's unfit to
clean toilets in Obama's presidential library or to shine
George W. Bush's shoes. Whoa.
That right there just says it all.
With this latest tweet clearly implying clearly implying that
unitedly that are united in your mind and better than the United
States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash.
President Trump has shown he is not fit for Office. Rock bottom
is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a
new low.
Can I ask interesting, logical question? Sure. If Trump is such
a douchebag sleaze ball, wouldn't he have taken the
opportunity to get a blow job from her?
I'm thinking he might have. Yeah, well,
I don't think he did. Because I don't think that's what this
implies. Of course, it doesn't. He would have taken the blow job
and then bitched about it.
She was no good. It didn't work right. White House spokesman
Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday dismissed the
President's smear as a misunderstanding because let me
just read the tweet. So people have that in context. In
verbatim lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total
flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who had come to my
office quote, begging, unquote, for campaign contributions not
so long ago in parentheses and would do anything for them. He's
now in the ring fighting against Trump very disloyal to Bill and
crooked used so that if your mind is there, you I guess you
can see that's calling her a whore. I think the only reason
why why people think that that's what he meant is because they
might have done it. I don't know. I mean, it's
anyway.
White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday
dismissed the president smear as a misunderstanding because he
used similar language about men. Of course, words used about men
and women are different. Okay. When candidate Trump said a
journalist was bleeding from her wherever he didn't mean her
nose. Another thing I disagree with.
You remember that? About Kelly
Megyn? Kelly? Yeah,
I remember it. I remember the context. And I remember the way
in fact, when I first heard it, I didn't think
that she was because our minds are not in the gutter. That's
why
he was he said, where she's bleeding. She bleeding from her
eyes or ears wherever. It wasn't seeming. It wasn't targeted. I
just didn't hear it. I didn't hear what everyone else heard,
which is the ah, oh, he just you know, he's smeared or somehow
were Trump apologists were Trump apologist and as they don't even
think much of the guy and I don't want to go.
And as is the case with all of Trump's digital provocations,
the President's words were deliberate. He pours the
gasoline of sexist language and lights the match gleefully
knowing how it will burst into flames. Amen a country reeling
from the hashtag me to movement. A president who would all but
call Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. A whore is not fit to clean the
toilets. Hey, Barack Obama twice.
Yeah.
So he took so the guy who wrote the editorial called Jilla
brand, a whore twice. Yes. So he's the guy calling You're a
whore. Yes. Okay. You want to get that straight go on. It
should
surprise no one how low he went with jeweler brand. When accused
during the campaign of sexually harassing or molesting women in
the past, Trump's response was to belittle the looks of his
accusers. Okay, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let me see if
recent history is any guide, the unique off awfulness of the
Trump era in US politics is only going to get worse. Trump's
utter lack of morality, ethics and simple humanity has been
underscored during his 11 months in office. Let us count the ways
enthusiastically supporting Alabama Republican state Senate
candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused by
yes that earlier in the show, that's a lie. He was not
enthusiastic. And he's actually was for this guy. Strange. So
okay, let's let's just, I just want to make sure that we're
noticing that this is just a blatant
lie. Yep. It's going
Trump apparently is going for some sort of record for lying
while in office kettle pot. As of mid November, he had made
1628 misleading or false statements in 298 days in
office. That's 5.5 false claims per day. According to The
Washington Post, fact checkers fact check false. Trump takes
advantage of any occasion, even Monday's failed terrorist attack
in New York to stir racial religious or ethnic strife. I
agree with that. That was very annoying to me. Where we still
don't know Jack crap about Vegas, but this guy we know who
he is. We know is chain migration. We mean that people
talking about China and chain migration. I totally suspect
this failed attempt because it's failed. As a ruse. The end I
think Trump's in on it. I'm not. I don't think I don't put it
beyond him.
I really don't or the administration.
A man who really wants to put his stamp on the government
Trump hasn't even done his job when it comes to filling key
government positions that require Senate confirmation. And
then the final point Trump has shown contempt for ethical
strictures. What is he mentioned,
as he mentioned about the Senate confirmation that Jilla Bran who
who has all voted no against every possible confirmation
which he admits to.
Nope. Okay. Nope.
What are ethical strictures? Str I see t u r e s strictures
straight up ethical standards below standards that have
bound every president in recent memory. He has refused to
release his tax returns with the absurd excuse that it's because
he's under audit. He has refused to put his multibillion dollar
business interests in a blind trust and pedals. The fiction
that putting them in the hands of his sons does the same thing.
Not to mention calling white supremacist very fine people.
pardoning a lawless sheriff. Firing a respected FBI director
and pushing the Justice Department to investigate his
political foes is a shock that only six Democratic senators are
calling for our unstable president to resign. The nation
does not seek nor expect perfect presidents and some have
certainly been deeply flawed. But a president who shows such
disrespect for the truth for ethics for the basic duties of
the job and for decency towards others fails at the very essence
of what has always made America great.
Now,
along with this, I because this is clearly dimension b this is
alternative universe, this is this is their, their perception.
So it's their reality, I cannot win, nor am I interested in
fighting that is, you know, people see it this way and they
believe it and you just can't help it. But right, it's fine.
Where this comes from, is something deeply rooted and we
talked about it after sometimes, John, I'll give each other
little tips of things to watch. I doubt you had a chance to look
yet and probably better because you will hate it so much. Did
you watch the new Sarah Silverman show on HBO?
No good.
This is from one of the episodes and I had this one I think
tonight decided to have sex instead of watching the rest of
it, which was a good decision. And when you but when you listen
to this
little monologue explore explains
well, at least it doesn't explain how it happened but it
shows you what's going on in in the alternative universes where
their perception is the following Reality.
I had a boyfriend many years ago. He was my first boyfriend
who had his own house. And one day I went outside to see what
he was doing. And he was hoisting an American flag up the
flagpole in his front yard. And I instantly felt very weird. It
didn't make sense. But I felt this feeling of like, I felt
scared. Yeah, I felt scared. And so I was like, What are you
doing? And he just said, raising the flag. And I was like, why?
And he's like, um, because I love America. And I was like,
right, right, of course. But inside, I was shaken. And then I
calmly walked to my car, and I got inside, and I called my
sister Susie to tell her what happened. Now, maybe you're
thinking, What do you mean? What happened? Nothing happened. Your
boyfriend put an American flag up at his own house? No, you're
totally right. I had no idea why I was freaking out. I just I had
this very visceral reaction. And my sister who knows cuz she's a
rabbi in Israel explained to me she was like, dude, nationalism
is innately terrifying for Jews think about it, flags, marching
blind allegiance, these things tend to ring a bell for us.
Right? Of course, duh. It made sense. And it made me realize
that the things that terrify some people are the same things
that give other people great comfort. You know, it's like,
like the way the sight of a police car might give some
people comfort, for instance, white people. Or it might make
other people very uncomfortable, like, say, unarmed black
children playing in a park. Oh, and I guess like the Duke boys,
they always had run ins with the cops, didn't they, but they
would have been shot dead in episode one. If they weren't
white as the driven snow with a confederate flag on the top. I
find that a nationalist movements tend to kind of
exploit patriotism for their own cause, like take a slogan, like,
Make America Great Again, or America First they go down easy,
they sound patriotic. But patriotism and nationalism, to
me are very different things like patriotism is loving your
country. I'm a total patriot, I love my country. Whereas
nationalism has this like we're number one vibe. And I fear that
that we're number one nationalism is really like an
old bed buddy of racism and xenophobia. And by the way, if
something is truly number one, you don't have to go around
saying all the time. It's kind of like a beta move. Really. I
mean, Harvard doesn't take out ads that say Harvard, the
world's number one college apply now. The failing Princeton is
number three sad.
Before we discuss it, I would like to read from Harvard.
Harvard is the best school because the best students choose
Harvard. Year after year students are accepted to Harvard
and other schools pick Harvard over other schools in the
majority of cases, when students are admitted to both Harvard and
Yale, for example, 58% of students choose Harvard or Yale.
I mean, come on, Sarah. But there it is.
No, this There it is. There it is, to me in a nutshell, the
idea that the American flag that it freaks her out that it's
scary to her with that as the undercurrent of what is present
in the United States of Gitmo nation. I think we're done. I
mean, we are the we invented the big foam finger number one, we
invented that we know we're endearing and mocked for it.
It's who we are.
Thank you always do this.
You'll take something like this idiots who is not a professor of
anything. She's a professor of comedy, choose trying to be
funny. And then you'll make some comment. You've done this a
number of times and it's fair. I find it very galling. You you
go, Oh, we're done. We're through. We're fucked up. Where
do where does it? We're done with Maslow's shooters house.
And you take this very negative look
at at what point did I use the F word or say we might as well
shoot ourselves? That is your interpretation and your skill.
You've
done it before. You never be well, you you when did you use
the F word? I don't know you use it. But it's beside the point.
I'm just trying to exempt trying to point out that you have taken
this negative approach. When you see some lunatic like Sarah
Silverman, who goes on and I think you're right about the
whole your analysis is right. She's she's got a screw loose
and she's weird. But it doesn't mean we're done by any means. It
just means she's done.
Ben, how's it? How's it how's it going here in America so far? I
don't know. Ever If there's a lot of harmony, there's
some just don't harmony, but I'm looking at your pack.
Okay. All right. All right. All right. So it's galling to you.
Fine. Here's my question to you. Where does this come from this
fear of someone hoisting the flag because they love their
country. Where does that what explain to me? When did this
happen? Now she throws in a Jew joke like, Okay, sure. That's
very funny. The smart rabbi told her this is what it was
bullcrap. But I think I think this is something that is
present and real. Yeah, I'm not gonna argue that so where does
it come from? How did this happen?
Realism. This is the globalist this is your you've explained
the globalist perspective which is dimension B with no borders,
no, no barriers, no prisons, no borders, no flags, no countries.
And that's that that is permeated. That is the problem,
which is this globalism always you were just one big happy
kumbaya word world government. That should be just fine. Let
George Soros take over the place. And she's just reflecting
but how
did how did that get in? To the her psyche as schools Okay,
schools. Yeah, it's in her state
civics anymore. They don't teach American history the way it
should be taught. They don't they have no pride in the
country, that hood entire school system. They've just demean
everything and they but they promote the globalist One World
Government internationalist movement. And that's what that's
what our show fights.
Oh, I'm still fighting. It doesn't mean just because I say
that I think we're doomed doesn't mean we don't fight it.
Do. Oh, wow. For Mr. Krank to call me the crank
rich before but about five months ago, you did the same
thing. You got real depressed about somebody. So
five months? Wow. Every five months, I'd say something that
really golf. You gotta be you gotta be close man complain
about the potholes again. And we're done with it. I got other
things to complain about. And I rarely complain about the
potholes. I got something to complain about. You've got
something to complain about. It's not just the FBI who was
corrupt and rotten, and is part of the deep state trying to get
their way. CIA has their fingerprints all over a lot of
this muck. And that was demonstrated by Mike Morrell.
Right. Right. He says right, at least after every other sentence
in this interview.
Right, did you i I'm surprised he doesn't say it more.
So he did an interview with us with political and the political
interviewer also has some funny comments in there. And he's
pretty much admitting that CIA really, really messed with then
candidate and to this day, still with President Donald Trump
in August of 2016. When I became political, right, when I
write when I became political, let me tell you what happened,
son, you didn't become political. You were told to be
political. You know, God, it just does. I find it very
disingenuous. I became political was so hard for me to do that.
No, you were told to do it. You didn't like say, hey, I want to
go be political. Is that okay? CIA, not how it works
in August of 2016. When I became political, right, when I
endorsed Hillary Clinton, with an op ed in the New York Times,
and that was, that was a very difficult decision.
Unless let's remember that this happened right after he
resigned. He did that op ed, it wasn't like a period of
reflection. Right away. Good point. Good point. Thank
you, me, because I had never been political before. I worked
at this non political agency, bright red line between between
intelligence and policy and intelligence and politics,
right. I had never played in their world before. But I was so
deeply concerned about what a what a Trump presidency might
look like, from a national security perspective, and
believe that there was such a gap between Secretary Clinton
and Donald Trump with regard to how well they would protect the
country that I that I thought it extremely important to come out
and say that okay, so flash forward a year, was that a
mistake? I don't think it was a mistake. I think there were
downsides to it that I didn't think about at the time. I was
concerned about what is the impact? It would have been the
agency. Right, very concerned about that thought that through,
but I don't think I fully thought through the
implications. And one of the ways I've thought about that
Susan is okay, how did Donald Trump see this? Right and, and
from it's very important, right, one of the things we do as
intelligence analysts is make sure that our guy the President
understands the other guy right. So let's put ourselves here in
Donald Trump's shoes. So what does he see? Right? He see He's
a former director of CIA and a former director of NSA, Mike
Hayden, who I have the greatest respect for criticizing George
and his policies. Right, right. And he could rightfully have
said, Hmm, you know, what's going on with these intelligence
guys, right? embroideries his narrative? Exactly. And then he
sees a former acting director and deputy director of CIA,
criticizing him and endorsing his opponent. And and then he
gets his first intelligence briefing after becoming the
Republican nominee. And within 24 to 48 hours, there are leaks
out of that, that are critical of him, and his then National
Security Adviser Mike Flynn. And so this stuff starts to build
right. And he must have said to himself, What is it with these
intelligence guys? Are they political, the current director
at the time, John Brennan, during the campaign occasionally
would push back on things that Donald Trump had said, so when
when Trump talked about the Iran nuclear deal being the worst
deal, right in the history of American diplomacy, and he was
going to tear it up right on the first day, you know, John, John
Brennan came out publicly and said, that would be an act of
folly. So he sees a current sitting director pushing back on
him right. Then he becomes president. And he's supposed to
be getting a daily brief from the moment he becomes the
president elect. Right. And he does it. And within a few days,
there's leaks about how he's not taking his briefing. So he must
have thought, right? That and who are these guys? These guys
have to get me? Is this a political organization? Can I
think about them as a political organization? When I when I
become president, right. Okay,
what is it? Right count, I think was 15.
Patrol. I think you missed a couple.
Now the chatter of the troll room was counting. But but you
hear what he's saying that he's he's saying we leaked. And then
we didn't give him briefings. And we said he didn't take
briefings. He, maybe he's stating it incorrectly. But it
sure sounds like it. And there's another piece to this
for every other part of the intelligence community, except
CIA, you're working for a cabinet member. at CIA, you are
working for the president united states that is your customer,
right? So when you see your customer questioning what it is
that you are providing to him or her. And that person seems to be
cherry picking. Right, what they what they accept and what they
don't accept. It's demoralizing. And, and when it's when it's
demoralizing. People take actions, right. So I live pretty
close to the agency. There's a coffee shop between me and the
agency. And I've met, I've met a number of agency officers in
that coffee shop that
we need to find out what coffee shop this is, this sounds like
an a fat, fantastic place to go hang out. Because that's where
the spokes all hang.
I live pretty close to the agency. There's a coffee shop
between me and the agency. And I've met I've met a number of
agency officers in that coffee shop who have said to me I'm you
know, I'm thinking about leaving. And my my, my push back
to them is Your country needs you now more than ever don't
leave, right. But it does, it does lead people to question
whether or not what they're doing is a value. And it's like
working there is really hard. The problems are hard. They're
complex, they're not easy to solve. Some of these targets
that we're we're trying to collect intelligence are
extraordinarily difficult. People operate in very dangerous
places. The hours are long, the pressure on families is is
really tough. And so if you think what you're doing doesn't
matter, because the president United States is selectively
listening and has impact.
Oh, geez. What a crock. Yeah,
but those thinking of leaving because Trump didn't take my
report,
bull crap. Bull. They didn't even give him the report.
They won't even give them the report or the right briefings.
Who are they maybe they're thinking of leaving because
their bosses are a holes and they want to leave? You know,
Brandon was a Muslim. I know. A little bit. Ya know, I've owned
up to
I have a number of short shortest clips maybe keeping for
Sunday. I don't understand why they haven't called this text
gate yet. I've been waiting for someone to do it. Why don't we
just say it? These text messages between FBI agent scrotum and
his girlfriend Lisa page.
You want to know we want to hear this? Why don't we
put that off because I want to I think we've wrapped up I do have
one short short 37 second clip which answers went to your
questions? I thought we'd get it out of the way out of the way.
Uh huh. Which is what where's the polar vortex
tracking it all I know it's not officially here, but it's here
it is and it's been a biting wind all day long New York not
alone. As you mentioned, take a look at some of these numbers,
what it feels like right now across much of the Northeast
single digits and many sports teams and as we look ahead
towards tomorrow afternoon, really it doesn't get any
warmer, nor does it on Friday because we've got a strong
Alberta Clipper that's bringing that snow to the Great Lakes.
That's gonna share more in the way of cold air right now. It's
got snow covering the entire hand of Michigan, Detroit and
getting into Pittsburgh could see four to eight inches of snow
including northern parts of Ohio. By the time it gets into
New York though tomorrow in New Jersey, only one to three inches
but maybe enough to slip up the morning rush. David,
thank you. Thank you for solving this great mystery. The Alberta
Clipper that's right the clipper did it. Damn you Alberta
Clipper.
Don't I heard that he says Adam needs to know this Alberta
Clipper
is that thank you is that don't have a sports team?
I don't think so.
Who are the clippers on the Clippers place? The ice hockey
team in San Diego close. Almost Scandinavia. All right. I'll do
a tease then here's what you're going to hear on Sunday show.
This is
the person we needed to avoid a conflict of interest and then he
said this, they furloughed fully deserved to go and demonstrate
the absolute bigoted nonsense of Trump. But he wasn't content to
just disparage Donald Trump. He had to disparage Donald Trump's
family. This is what he said Mr. Deputy Attorney General, he said
the douchebags are about to come out. He's talking about our
First Lady and showed this conflict of interest for a
special agent of the FBI.
I love that just anyone who will use the word douchebag in
Congress as it has my vote. Yes. All right. All righty. So that's
coming up on Sunday show and we want you to remember we have a
show on Sunday twice a week now there's no agenda thing. So
