Do you have your gaffer tape to fix that again? Adam curry, John
C. DeVore. Sunday January 27 2019. This is your award
winning give on nation media assassination episode 1107. This
is no agenda, spending down my carbon
budget and broadcasting live from the Capitol throwing star
state here in downtown Boston Tea House in Makati. Oh in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
from Northern Silicon Valley. Where I wouldn't be dog gone I'd
be long gone. I'm John C. Devorah. Raglan Buzzkill.
Alright, who's writing your openings now?
Tim Cook
Wow, from the great Sam Cooke, everybody way to go. Very nice.
Oh, most years young clothed.
Hello. Bonjour. To the morning to you. Yes. Memorial ships at
sea Mactan.
Exactly. Well, well, well. What an interesting series of events.
Yes. Again, yes. Again, we
Show's over, we do two days of nothing but hectic excitement.
And it almost was a lot of it resolves itself. Again, I've had
so many calls from, from our producers. In DC, although most
of most of our producers who are really in the know of stuff.
They're much more interested in talking about Venezuela than
most of them say pay attention because you know, that's where
we're headed. That's, that's what it's going to be like for
us.
Yeah, well, but yeah, well, like Bernie and that's probably true.
Yeah. Bernie came out made a big stink about this whole thing
together. We should be back in Maduro. I mean, come on. Now.
Let's just Let's just back this up for a second. What What a
fantastic this is a soft coup is what it is what I keep hearing
the term.
guys with guns. Well, here's gets its I get. It's, you know,
what's the difference between a soft coup and a hard coup? I
think Trump is more of a soft coup.
I was just no, it's soft coup is until the military takes over.
Oh, yes. Well, that's the definition I've heard. And I
think we're very close as my my sources. Sources say sources
familiar with the situation. The United States has offered visas
to all Venezuelan military personnel to
their lawyer one guy. Yeah. That was in the embassy in order to
consulate in Washington who, when he refused to be called
back and he was a military guy. He kind of hung out actually
have a clip, which I think covers all of this. It's not a
bad rundown. This is the Venezuela rundown on NBC.
The Secretary of State Mike Pompeo today, putting the world
on notice.
Now it's time for every other nation to pick aside. No more
delays, no more games.
Pompeo urging action at a tense UN Security Council meeting to
address the unfolding political and humanitarian crisis in
Venezuela.
Either you stand with the forces of freedom, or you're in league
with Maduro and his man.
I forgot about forces of freedom. That scrumptious
freedom brought to you by forces
humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
Either you stand with the forces of freedom, or you're in league
with Maduro and his mahom.
Those forces Pompeo spoke of led by 35 year old opposition leader
Juan guaido Who this week was named interim president by the
Venezuelan parliament, drawing criticism from President Nicolas
Maduro calling it an American orchestrated coup, Maduro
tweeting, no one is going to subdue us. We will never
surrender as a split has plunged Venezuela further into crisis.
Maduro handpicked by former President Hugo Chavez is largely
blamed for the country's economic decline with annual
inflation rates up to one point 3,000,000% According to a study
by the opposition controlled National Assembly Maduro has
support only from a handful of countries including Russia and
China. More than a dozen nations are behind why though, after the
US announced its support, Maduro lashed out expelling American
diplomats from the crash
test, the United States resolved to protect our own people,
the Trump administration maintaining a hard line as
protesters in the US pick sides.
We can't be sitting here complaining about interference
from abroad in our election while we're supporting someone
that's essentially creating a coup.
And later tonight to Venezuela's highest ranking military
diplomat in Washington has broken with the Maduro regime.
I gotta tell you, man, Pompeo and whoever else was involved in
this did a good job on teeing everybody up, getting 17 Caught
Countries immediately to recognize Guido as as the man.
I'm not quite sure who's
the same way Intel rolled out the Itanium the what? Did you
don't even remember this, you know, know the type. So they had
this super chip that they were going to roll out is going to
replace the x86 series. Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And they they did this. They did all this pre you're gonna be
with us, you're gonna be with us, you're gonna do this, we're
gonna do a joint announcement. And it was very well
orchestrated probably the best ever. But it resulted in so much
embarrassment that never happened. Again, quite a debt
level. But that's what you do. It's just it's like, it's a mark
for a marketing.
You just Yeah, well, of course, that's. That's what politics is
is all marketing. There was one extra little thing about the
voting machines that got Maduro reelected. These were a bunch of
I think British machines Smartmatic cybernetic CA, who?
I'm not sure if they still had Maduro in their pocket thinking,
Okay, this is all good. Here we go. In March 2018, Smartmatic,
the electoral product company, which had participated in the
majority of elections under the Bolivarian government ceased
operations in Venezuela, said they could no longer guarantee
the validity of election results through its machines, aha.
If they ever could,
well, I guess they had their their outcomes pre programmed
and maybe someone got wise to it and change that around. But this
is very important for for United States oil. And you know more
about this than I do, but it's my understanding that our
refiners in the US like to get this Venezuelan crude to mix up
with our Texas stuff.
And it sounds crude that I've ever heard of is Bolivian. And
so I have to assume that a lot of the crude down in South
America is is So this stuff is so different problem with crude
oil is the viscosity and the not so much, though as the amount of
sulfur that is in the crude. And they had stuff coming out of
Bolivia that they would run through this little refinery
they created over by the union refiner on the coast here. Can't
remember the Navy was Pacific, I think. And they just took
nothing but they had they had this refinery was such that it
didn't even need any equipment whatsoever, and just put it
through the pipes to take sulfur out. And yeah, and I was told by
somebody when I was in the working up there that you could
take this Bolivian crude and put it right in a diesel truck and
drive it off. Nice. Right.
Right out of the ground right out of the ground into your
truck. Yeah. Fantastic.
Yay. But I'm assuming that this Venezuelan oil, which is right
next door is similar. It's a really high quality product,
right?
Yeah. But But are you familiar with the with the mixing that
that's what we
know? It makes sense. Yeah. But that's generally the way it's
not generally the way it works. You don't mix the oils before
you put them through the process because you're just causing more
trouble. It's just doesn't seem sensible. Oh. You give you can
refine Texas crude, you can refine Texas crude. And then you
can refine the other stuff, too. It's just a it's almost like a
seamless process. Here.
This is from I got this from oil price.com Ever since we started
pipelines. Now it was looking at pipelines. I follow a lot of
energy stuff. So I had no idea what what validity this has, but
they said one reason. Gulf Coast refiners continuing to rely on
imports of Venezuela's heavy oil despite the collapse in oil
production, Venezuela seen exports of crude oil to today.
Well, shit, where was it now? I lost my place. Anyway, it was
the refiners needed it I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know why they needed when they need any
other oil. But maybe maybe it has some properties that are
good for some other byproducts. So who knows? I do know this. I
was looking at the list of the countries with the most oil
reserves and Venezuela's number one, they ate Saudi Arabia.
And for sure, what we don't want is more of these 400 consultants
from Russia, who have been sent in you know, that means
consultants codename for special forces. The Chinese are all
there. The Chinese are in there and they're they're pissed.
Because I think Venezuela owes him 40 or $50 billion for stuff
that they never expected to get paid for. But hey, that's how
they they work like okay, you can pay for it. That's ours. So
this could come to an interesting conflagration.
Yeah, that is an interesting situation. Why didn't this play
this year? They have a long clip here from Democracy Now, which
takes a different angle on this. And I think there's some
justification for some of these, some of these assertions, but
actually, let me jump to the clip, right, that would follow
this. But let's play the short clip first, which is Venezuela,
the professor can dokie
100 Velasco, let's begin with you your assessment of what's
taken place so far, are we seeing a coup in the making?
Yeah, I mean, absolutely. There's no question, on the
other hand, that the Maduro government lacks significant
amount of popular support and to a significant extent, also,
legal legitimacy. And as you just mentioned, I returned from
a couple of weeks there, just on Tuesday, and the level of
discontent, especially among popular sectors that had
previously strongly supported a Ludo and certainly before him,
Chavez is palpable, that has to do with prices, it has to do
with public services. However, that does not translate, and it
hasn't in the past, and it's unclear whether it does now to
support for the opposition, which on its own terms, has
advanced, certainly with these last few moves, and has advanced
an agenda that that is funding Venezuela into tremendous degree
of political and social uncertainty.
Now and the dinar in the long clip, but what he's saying is
that everybody's ready for this. Yeah. And the long clip, they
bring something up, I hope it's in here, that it's not I'll talk
about it. This whole situation of the collapsed economy in
Venezuela, which the socialists are upset about, because of the
Bernie's and the AOCs, and the rest, because they would like to
see something socially that that was pure socialism actually work
now are
they also, but please tell me that certainly, Bernie is also
got to be saying, Hey, man, maybe we shouldn't be doing
these coos? Is he's talking about that at all, or is he just
saying leave the socialist description? I
haven't got any Bernie clips. Okay. I do know that he's all in
for Maduro. Sure. But let's play the overview from Democracy Now.
I alert people that a coup is being carried out against the
institution's against our democracy, against our
Constitution against our President Nicolas Maduro,
president of the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela.
The Venezuelan defense ministers comment came one day after
President Trump announced the US would recognize opposition
leader Juan guaido as Venezuela's new president, why
doe the new head of Venezuela's National Assembly declared
himself president and Wednesday during a large opposition
protest.
On Thursday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pledged to
send $20 million to them as well in opposition in the form of
humanitarian aid to address the shortages of food and medicine
caused in part by harsh US sanctions. Pompeo made the
announcement while speaking at the OAS, the Organization of
American States, right
the time for debate is done. The regime of former President
Nicolas Maduro is illegitimate. Is received regime is morally
bankrupt. It's economically incompetent, and it is
profoundly corrupt. It is undemocratic to the core. I
repeat the regime of former President Nicolas Maduro is it
legitimate? We therefore consider all of its declarations
in accurate and actions illegitimate and invalid.
Secretary of State Pompeo speech was interrupted by Code Pink
founder Medea Benjamin, who will join us later in the broadcast.
In other developments Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has
ordered the US to remove all of its diplomats by Venezuela from
Venezuela. But Washington is ignoring the request, claiming
Maduro no longer has authority to take such action. While the
US Embassy in Caracas is staying open, the State Department has
ordered non essential diplomats and embassy staff to leave
Venezuela. Meanwhile, Maduro has ordered all of Venezuela's
diplomatic staff in the United States to return home.
The crisis is happening just weeks after Maduro was sworn
into a second six year term following his victory in an
election last May that was boycotted by several of the
opposition groups. The international community remains
split on the situation of Venezuela on on Thursday, UN
Secretary General Antonio Guterres urged all actors to
quote lower tensions and pursue every effort to prevent violence
and avoid any escalation. Mexico and Uruguay have urged all sides
to hold negotiations. On Thursday Mexico's new president
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador spoke out again insofar
intervention in Venezuela, in political exterior
knows the famous day,
we should conduct foreign relations with the principles of
non intervention of the self determination of peoples of
peaceful solutions to disputes,
Pacific, but many other countries in the hemisphere have
joined with the United States and supporting the attempted
coup. This includes Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Argentina and
Chile. Here in the United States, the leaders of the
Democratic Party have also largely supported Trump's
actions.
You know, we do have a new actor on the scene who has not really
come up yet in any of the news reports, although I think
they're gonna have a field day with it. Elliott Abrams, do you
remember Elliott Abrams? Yeah, he was. He was the he was
involved in Iran Contra, he worked for he cropped
up and he was I guess, National Security Adviser for Trump's
administration is what I can't remember. I'm sorry. Didn't he
just get put into some job as a Special
Envoy for Venezuela? Like two days ago, like Hello, yes. And
he did a grand Contra. The guy knows exactly what to do. We're
going to use local South American assets, which will be
some kind of some mercenary military mercenaries and they're
gonna finish up the job. Yeah. Wait, foam finger number one.
Whoa, what they did China hit it out there. But if you listen to
enough of these
whoa, whoa. Did they come for you?
Yeah, it was the
do we need? Do we need to stop tape? John, are you okay? Yeah.
Mentioned Elliott. Abrams.
Enough of these reports. Am I okay?
Yeah. Well, what does your mic your mic fall off? Yeah. Okay.
All right.
The problem is what it did was it knocked over my volume
control, like, barely hear you. But that's okay.
Well, no, go ahead and turn it up. I can't wait. Do you have
your gaffer tape to fix that again? From the last time it
happened?
Yeah, here it is. Test test test.
Yeah, of course, whenever this happens, it never falls on your
musical instruments and destroys them forever. That's to never
does that get does the recorder get destroyed ever.
Anyway. So what they're leaving out is that the United States
embargoes sanctions didn't work, you know, so much in Europe or
places that were even Russia's that mean, they do work to a
point, but they really do work. They worked very well in
Venezuela and what made it work? And it's the sanctions that
brought the economy down over there. Yeah. And and what really
did the trick was they told Citko, which is owned by
Venezuela, it's the it's their outlet for the refined products,
gas stations all over the place. So when you're putting sit go
gasoline in your car, you're using Venezuelan crude as the
base.
You're actually a commie when you use it. So when
you so they chose Citgo because of the sanctions, they couldn't
send any of the money back to Venezuela, all the profits from
the gas station, right. So what So what stayed here? Yeah. We
are so good at this. Well, it's,
it's true. It's really well, here's the thing,
but what's the what was the alternative? If some people
would bring up the fact that we don't play fair? And this
particular trick, which was a good one, just freeze the
assets? And, you know, make them I mean, we're not stealing the
money, let's put it that way. Is still belongs to Citko. But it
can't leave the country. Right. And that is like over a billion
dollars that Venezuela could probably use the wet but no,
they don't even have access to the way
I see this. Is it's kind of a non starter choice. Either we do
it, or Russia does it? Or the Chinese do it? Somebody's gonna
do it. It is in South America. It's kind of close to us. So I
understand. I understand the thinking it doesn't make me feel
much better about the New World Order. But I do understand where
they're coming from.
Yeah, it's our it's our we have this bizarre, kind of cause
like, that's where you can see what China gets upset about us.
dicking around in Southeast Asia and places like that, because
that's really their tertiary or the Chinese were, although they
are very involved in Brazil, but now that we got our guy in, in
Brazil, another pet peeve of democracy now and the socialists
that may be ending and we have oh really may have some better
relationships with reasons why Brazil jumped on board with us
on this Venezuela thing. Ah, yes. So Bolsonaro is going to be
likely to be a good ally to us and he may, you know, help us
sit down okay. America,
here's what I'm going to predict this because this is much bigger
than just Venezuela, of course. I think that we're going to see
a deal with China, Trump and G very soon to smooth over
whatever those guys the Chinese need in Venezuela for their
investments. I think that this may be a leveraging point that
Trump would use to get the trade agreements in place for you
feels like that's what's going to happen. Russia, I have no
idea what they're doing. Other than anything
Russia's cares too much about this. He said, I mean,
though, that oil, but they got 400 Special Forces?
I'm not. I'd like to know what the
what's going on.
Whenever someone sends in consultants, you know what that
means? They had they had gold mining rights. The Russians, in
fact, they received it not even too long ago, I think,
oh, that might be the gold.
Let me see. Yeah, the Venezuela got a gave Russia permission to
mined gold. Which is another issue that's wrapped up in all
of this.
But Russia is maybe just sending people in to protect their gold
assets. That's,
that's possible. But the Chinese, they're they're really
irked about it that some of the Venezuelans actually I hear
they're not too happy with what's going on.
Yeah. But this, some of them, I think that professor that was at
the first clip I played, or one of the early clips. Who was I
think he's Venezuelan, and he teaches talks about this he,
it's the upper classes of Venezuela that have been when
Chavez was running the place they eat, they kept them happy.
Yeah, Maduro has not and he's running out of town basically
made him there's part of the 3 million people that can afford
to leave the country, or there's a lot of poor people, but
there's also many of the upper class an intellectual class in
the country was forced out and once they you lose that group.
It could be problematic because they have a lot of influence and
other other elsewhere. And this was I think, is part of what's
going on.
Now. I also have the feeling that the President Trump knew
nothing about this or was very unaware of it and just
does that me make it possible that he just you know Pompeo is
it might be his because he's ex CIA is
his baby. Yeah, of course. I mean, this is this is what CIA
does. And that may not be so coincidental that we also have
this Roger Stone FRAC S, which is dominating the news. I would
say the ratio of Venezuela Roger Stone news is Venezuela one
stone nine. Justin weight of what attention that's given.
Oh, yeah, that and that and another, at least as much stone
coverage was the the Trump caved coverage he caves? Caves you got
Roger Stone. You got all this very kind of almost Hollywood
tonight's that style of stories versus Venezuela?
Yeah, exactly. Which is a real story.
Yeah, what's the only real story? Yeah. But it's not as
entertaining and as we as you'll find it when we get to the Yes.
Stone stuff.
Well, what else do you have on Venezuela? Because that's about
this world. I got the Quickie this can already actually been
played.
Well, how what is the end game? What is the end game for
Venezuela? We have to get much shut Maduro up. Everyone has to
accept Guido Obama. Once we've accepted Him, then we can start
doing the deals and making the Chinese whole and give the
Russians whatever mining contracts they want. That seems
like it would be something to that order, which as long as we
control the oil, you know, like Iraq, what could possibly go
wrong?
But I would like to know what triggered this because we know
that Chavez did this is pretty much the story of the book.
Economic Hitman. Yes. Economic Hitman, which is one of the
I think Confessions of an economic hitman. Yeah,
Confessions of
an economic hitman as one of the primary books that this show
uses, for theory,
the first book the first version of the rerelease, after he got
compromised.
Now, the as the story goes, that, you know, it was Chavez,
who we wanted wouldn't play ball with us. And what that means is,
I guess, turned over to half the country, the United States
interests, and he just wasn't going to do it and they tried to
kill him and then he really got here he ran out of all the
journalists and everybody out of the car. because they're all a
bunch of Stooges, for the CIA, and then he took firm control of
the country. And at some point we kind of gave up. We let sit
going, you know, said go steal all these gas stations, and then
nobody does anything about that says, But, you know, we kind of
gave up on it. And then when the pan picked Maduro to take over,
it's I think that's when they put those whatever section note
in the, in these agencies intelligence agencies were
working on Chavez problem. They started up again, I took about
this long to get to this. It took six years because Maduro
has been in for six years. He just got reelected. So six years
have gone by, and now we've decided to ramp it up again.
So see no sign of Asa snow Venza, I'm sorry, is crude oil
producer in in Venezuela. And in September, the The announcement
came that Maduro said they'd sold 9.9% of sinovation to the
Chinese National Petroleum Corporation, who after that own
49% have seen a visa. So that's the problem. Chinese will have a
real issue with
that. Well, that's probably what triggered that whole thing. That
would be the catalyst. We wouldn't do sell anything to us,
because we're trying to get in there. Yeah. And they're telling
us to pound sand. So they let the Chinese waltz in and take
50% of the main refiner. Yeah, over the past 10
years China has invested that's that's more than an issue with
us. China invested over 50 billion and Venezuela, Venezuela
in oil for loan agreements, securing energy supplies for its
fast growing economy. Right. Okay, so that would be the issue
right there. And I think China's a little too far from home to
get around us now. God, this is so evil. It's great. It's evil.
It's just evil. And what's the evil part? Oh, just how the
world works and limit little, it's nothing new to us. But if
people really understood, you know, just take a random college
kid. He said, hey, you know, this is actually how it still
kind of works. I think they would I mean, they can't even
handle right habits. They can't even handle a red hat. I mean,
just privilege. White privilege. Yeah. It's just nothing changes.
Nothing changes. It's all the same thing changed. Well,
little.
Now one big thing now China. Now the college kids are stupid.
Yeah, they certainly are getting an interesting education. That's
for sure.
That's for sure. I mean out to be stupid.
Well, so that's I guess that makes sense that the, the joint
venture and the sale giving China 49% of their crude, crude
company is a problem. Yeah, I mean, China has every right to
do that. And they didn't have every right to have that
commerce. But I guess for us is just we just can't handle that.
So we have to go down and mess everything up.
We don't trust the Chinese.
They're not to be trusted. Just look at your individual
interactions with them. The Chinese believe that everyone's
space is everyone so get out of my space. It's my space. It's
your space. I don't care whose space it is. They're rude. They
think it's funny when they can steal something from us. I'm not
saying anything else. I'm that's how Chinese are. That is their
culture.
And then they admit it
well, that's why they have such harsh penalties in China for so
we would think of as simple infractions right? Right hang
some guy. Yeah, they still doesn't help
well with that one guy might sorry, well, if they hang one
guy for that one guy might change but not everybody else.
Okay, all right now we're getting closer to the to what's
good, but it's gonna fall apart. This is just a this is just a
coup and we're going to at this looks like one of their that the
agency or whoever's behind the actual activities, is not going
to botch it looks like it won't be botched.
No, I also
think it's not necessarily the Central Intelligence Agency. I
think this is the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
Where do you get that from but
maybe I can't maybe I can't tell you where I got it from.
But why what's the I don't care where you got it from but well,
what what would be the rationale?
These are these they've they've grown their capabilities way
beyond what CIA does. They they they are the true spy agency.
Now in my humble estimation, because they're looking from
space. They got everything going And then they change their name
from National Geospatial agency to National Geospatial
Intelligence Agency gives you a clue. Really SpaceForce thanks
js for is just think of all these things. Think of all these
things coming together. Yeah. But as far as they have, they
have incredible capabilities. And I think it may go beyond.
Yeah, but why would he lose because
their military their military is finished with their military
intelligence. So the you know, who's running the show? Is a CIA
running the show. I don't think CIA is running any show anymore.
Yeah. The Roger Stone show. That's what they're running.
Well, let's talk about the Roger Stone show.
Yeah, who pops up after months of being quiet months? He's not
anywhere to be found. Roger Stone gets arrested who pops up?
Who maranon also see, but
he may propped up to you. I was not I didn't see one instance of
Brennan anywhere
right there on the morning Joe's. Mr. Director, good
to see you. I know you haven't read through the indictment.
We're still reading through it ourselves. But what's your
initial reaction to the other
term that's being used as on surprising everybody was
expecting this Roger Stone was expecting it as well. But like
many people in the trailer, Mr. Stone has an established track
record of being unethical and unprincipled. And now this is
catching up with him. And now a seven count indictment I think
is a very serious when we
stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Start that clip over and tell me
that they that everybody in this discussion, admitted that they
didn't read the indictment.
Oh, yeah. Oh, no, this goes, this keeps going. This is like,
Oh, I didn't read. I didn't read. I didn't read of course
they all read it is liars. Liars. It come I read it. Let's
it comes back. This this I didn't read it comes back in a
moment. So instead of starting it over, I'll just continue to
comes back. You're absolutely right about that.
Um, but it shows that the special Counsels Office is
uncovering the evidence it needs. And so just like Mr.
Stone's indictment, I'm not going to be surprised by the
other indictments that are gonna be coming down the pike very
soon.
said recently I will never testify against Donald Trump.
That calculus has changed this morning.
I think it's changing and will change. You know, if he decides
to go down for Mr. Trump. It's going to be you know, his loss.
But I think there are many people who have that position
and then change it very quickly, when, as we said, the federal
guidelines, sentencing guidelines tend to listen to
them.
So so he shows up, all of a sudden, just after months of
being very quiet, says he hasn't i Oh, come on the air. Sure. I
mean, I've been so busy having a time but you know, for Roger
Stone, I think I got this massive, massive importance.
Nothing about Venezuela. No, no, just about Roger Stone. So what
exactly are these? I know, you haven't read the indictment, but
oh, my gosh, what are these indictments and what crimes who
else is gonna get to indict it?
How many more indictments would you expect among the senior
Trump campaign officials
listen to him laughing?
Credit, more indictments would you expect among the Trump
campaign officials that are referenced in here stone told
senior Trump campaign officials about materials possessed by
organization one WikiLeaks. So that's in the multiple and then
also, there is a Trump supporter that stone was interfacing with
about the WikiLeaks drop? Well, I
expect that within the next 60 days, you're going to have a
fair number of fair, a fair number, a significant number of
indictments. I think people are waiting for this report that is
coming out from Muller, but what I look for most is the
indictments and it's so rich in detail to me. I think all of
these indictments are going to be is basically the Compendium
investigation, special counsels investigation really
so all these indictments that he has a process client crimes
pretty much and crimes outside of the scope for tax evasion,
that's going to be the Compendium ie the he's going to
have a binder filled with all these indictments and that will
be the report it's the Compendium sounds like a great
word. And you've got the right term there process crimes
exactly as they were processing the crimes took place. But let's
listen to nonreading indictment peepers
and so I expect there to be a significant number and a
significant number of names that are going to be quite familiar
to the average American.
Everybody who has a name familiar with the American
people be on alert. You're warned right and as you kind of
watch the Muller dominoes fall and you said more to come very
very soon.
Who's the next domino on the spiral and Jimmy the Greek here
who's the next domino that's why we see
teases he sits there like oh, big names house. What names? Oh,
I don't know. speculate.
Give me Give me I'm not going to speculate now because people are
innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of
criminal activity.
People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some
kind of criminal activity just listen to the new laws of the
nation place.
Wow, that is a clip of the day that you caught. Let's listen to
it again. You got it i so that people are innocent until
they're alleged.
I'm not going to speculate now because people are innocent
until well alleged to be involved in some type of
criminal activity
until you're proven guilty, until you're allege
This is the former director of CIA who has this high
Muslim, but
it has nothing to do with these if he's a Muslim or not. You've
just tested him now give
me I'm not going to speculate now because people are innocent
until alleged to be involved in some type of Dr.
Brennan, I noticed in leafing through this indictment, we've
only just gotten it that it appears Roger Stone is only
indicted for things that happened after the investigation
began. But you said An investigation was underway.
Sounds like someone was able to read the indictment. Sounds like
no one read it. And then this guy read it and Okay, education
began. But you said An investigation was underway back
in 2016. Can we read from this indictment that the special
Counsels Office believes that what Roger Stone did in 2016,
before he committed these lying to investigators or whatever,
that that was all legal?
No. Again, I haven't read the indictment. And I know that in
the summer of 2016, I had numerous conversations with Jim
Comey about what was happening in terms of what the Russians
were doing, what was being pushed out publicly how they got
access to the information who might have facilitated the
release of information. And so whether or not you know, Roger
Stone was involved in any of that, again, I defer to the
special Counsels office. But it was an ongoing, very intense
investigation at that time to see what US persons or officials
might have been working with Russians either wittingly or
unwittingly, to interfere in the election
and pay attention to the words wittingly or unwittingly. They
will be very important. I'm convinced of it. It probably it
crops up with Brennan, but the person who initially used it in
a lie was clapper who was asked if the NSA ever has any kind of
eavesdropping on American citizens and he lied and you
said well no, but at least not wittingly. What is the exact
definition of unwittingly
I explained my Muslim comments when I extend them on I should
I'm going to change calling him a Muslim to calling him a Salafi
just. Okay. Okay, and which, which is a sect. Yes, that is
the radical one and we don't think we have one Salafi
shoeless the show may be, but I'm sure he doesn't donate. So
I'll just stay with that Salafist because he has to be
sloppy. He supposedly became they went through the process in
Saudi Arabia, which is a hobbyist, generally speaking,
which is Salafist offshoot. So yeah,
Merriam Webster definition of wittingly is oh, it's
interesting, chiefly dialectal I'm not sure why that strikes me
as odd that that that props up as so it means that you
knowingly knowingly did something but it's it talks
about dialectal I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to
interpret that.
That means yes or no. So it's a dialect
or pure yes or no. Okay. So wittingly or unwittingly. Yeah.
It's just it's that term. I hear these terms and probably once in
a while
after hearing one from Roger Stone. Which he started off with
with his first getting arrested. Right after the rest. Yeah,
I haven't I have the CNN the live stuff when like about a
minute Oh, when
he when they actually when CNN got tipped off that he was going
to be it's not
it's not even tipped off. I mean, first of all, they call it
exclusive because it's exclusive. That they're sitting
there they're waiting they know what's happening. This this is
part of the set up everybody involved in this from the Muller
Muller side and I'm sure Brennan knew as well this was set up
Listen,
this is just remarkable. It's just remarkable to watch you
know what they call that's an FBI open the door and now
they're about to say another warning
she said Sure seems to know what's happening.
FBI warrant This is called you know the the grab shot in the
vernacular and a
true is I've never heard of the grab shot in the television
vernacular. But I guess they have it the Have you ever heard
of this? The grab shy?
No, I haven't, but it does. doesn't mean it doesn't exist in
some news organizations ever
heard this remarkable to watch this all unfold you
can see Roger Stone rush air a little bit behind
to say stop before you go on to six in the morning they brought
their SWAT team out a bunch of tanks and armored vehicles and
they're pounding on your door I don't know about you but at six
in the morning if I'm sleeping I'm in a back bedroom I'm
someplace you know, Donna knows how big that house was. But I
can't pop up and open the door it would take me five minutes or
longer. And they didn't give him five minutes. I'm surprised to
that he gets to the door as fast as he did.
I have no idea I mean, it's the whole thing is sketchy and you
heard Brennan stay even heard you heard you heard Brennan say
even Roger Stone knew this was going to happen he said it right
the beginning that first clip Roger Stone knew was gonna
happen everybody knew it was gonna happen. So I guess that
means no surprise. Let's listen to the rest of this,
you know, standard operating procedure for the FBI to show up
heavily armed and right here like this. But they didn't do
this for other people connected in the investigation. So it is
excuse me this with what? They didn't do that for? What's his
face for
Moeller. Now Yeah, man for Manafort,
did they do the exact same thing?
I think it was done procedurally different first day busted into
his place at three in the morning to just go through his
papers. No. Okay. And then I think they arrested him, but
they didn't arrest him with the with the armored vehicles and
the flak jackets on as though
they didn't do this show. So it is remarkable that they did this
without warning without any indication of stones Loris
beforehand that this would happen. We don't know. Also, if
they executed a search warrant
on it, I mean, as and just told us, the reason they do that is
because they fear that the person is gonna be a flight
risk. So they wanted to do it under the cover of darkness with
a surprise, or they think that there's so much evidence inside
the room inside the house, that they don't want to give anybody
lead time a heads up to try to hide some of that evidence. So
that's what we just watched this
morning. All right, let me if you wouldn't mind, I'll try and
piece together what I've discussed with some of our DC
producers over the past couple of days. Because this really is
just show it's all for show. And what the ultimate reason is, is
either this is some kind of M N game, which means what you heard
that the compendium of this type of activity would be molars
report, it's it's very possible that the fall guy for all of the
non provable collusion Trump stuff could be Roger Stone. It's
very conceivable he will. He's also the perfect guy for it. If
you think about it, he's a villain. He's creepy. He's got
all the elements that that could be used as Oh, well, clearly
this guy was no good. We got to get rid of him. Here's what I
here's what I understood. We have to take a couple basic
principles of the no agenda show into account one, there is a
continuous war between a military intelligence and
Central Intelligence and central intelligence or military
intelligence, either one of them will, quote unquote, run the
president. So of course, Bush Senior probably Bush Jr. It's
all CIA, Obama, CIA, for sure. Trump has been dia Defense
Intelligence Agency. You want to say something?
I would just say you left out Clinton.
I'm not sure about Clinton, that probably CIA. I wouldn't think
it would be an FBI anything else?
This would I would think that because he was running drugs.
That's what they do. Okay, so you need to take that into
account. Now. You also have to know about Roy Cohn. Does this
name ring a bell?
Yeah, Roy Cohn is the old lawyer. That was
McCarthy's lawyer. He was the adviser on the McCarthy trials.
Getting rid of communism. Yeah. In
that was he was also a kick ass attorney in New York.
Yes. And he was in all the bath houses with Roger Stone with
you'll love this. Bolton. What's his face?
John bolt John Bolton,
gay gay stuff, gay bathhouses, George W. Bush. And as mentor
and who knows what else to Donald Trump and Roger Stone. So
this is like this gay cabal going on in the 70s pre aids
mind you and so everybody knows each other and there's a lot of
stuff going on as always as weird kinky sex stuff that gets
everybody in trouble. But Roger Stone is has always been
intelligence person like CIA, FBI. This look at his history
with Nixon. We said we know what he what he's doing. We know What
his ties are to intelligence? Or were or if they're still there?
I don't know. Now, where does Roger Stone work? Roger Stone
right now his only gig or his his prominent gig is Infowars.
Alex Jones, you have to be of the belief that Alex Jones is
quite possibly his rise came through the Defense Intelligence
Agency. It's not like they're sitting there writing in checks,
but yeah, I think there's ways that they can make that happen.
And so that as a dialectic, I guess so there's, you know, you
have your, your alternative media, which had to go even
Jones had been doing this for 15 years. Austin, Texas is
definitely military intelligence, Stratford all
these places Bobby Inman lives here. Yeah, but
he's CIA, to have Bobby
Inman is still ultimately military. He's army. He's a
military guy. I think he's navy. Okay, military, but military. We
just got the Air Force, you know, the future command coming
in with billions of dollars. This is not an accident. This is
Austin is military, military intelligence. And I would say
it's not out of the realm of possibility to think that Alex
Jones came to rise after his cable show with the internet
through military intelligence maneuver, things just seemed to
work for him. And okay,
I won't wait. I want you to continue your thinking. And to
stop, but I want to throw just a random clip in because you did
what you said. It fits in with the Iso I was selecting for the
end of the show this two second clip. Okay. Okay, Roger, there
is a war on alternative media.
There's a war on alternative media.
Oh, for sure. For sure. Now, here, here's what the problem is
Roger Stone. And again, this is just what I've pieced together.
And you know, I'm shooting from the hip, but with some input
from our producer. So you kind of have to take these
assumptions into account. So we have this military intelligence,
Alex Jones thing running along, and then all of a sudden, we get
Roger Stone involvement. And this is a big problem. Because
what if this is like the enemy coming into the camp? Why is he
there? And it's very, and there's also all this weird, gay
sex stuff going on with Roger Stone. And I just look around
and see what's going on with Alex Jones and stone, a couple
other people at Infowars. I can't accuse anybody of
anything. But you can kind of think there may be something odd
happening. So Roger Stone is not only a problem for the Defense
Intelligence Agency, but for CIA as well. It's like, we can't
have these guys working together doing pillow talk. I don't know.
Look, this is what I've been told. Now. What happens from the
inmate and I don't know if it's coincidental that Tim Cook is
gay. But he's the first one that the platform Alex Jones, some
message goes out, we this has to stop. This guy has to stop. We
got to stop the stolen thing we've worn we've warned Alex
Jones, boom, he's gone. It just continued to just kept on going.
So this is the next step. Because they really have nothing
on him. Yeah, they got some, oh, he lied about this or that wise,
he has really nothing in
the indictment. I want to mention a few things as an
aside, in there, they, you know, they keep talking about how he
told some guy to lie. You're one of his buddies to lie to
Congress when all he did and is very clear in the indictment was
tell him to plead the fifth. Yes. That's not tell us
not talks on the line now. So what I think you're seeing here
is a very easy fall guy and I maybe we can say, well, the time
this Venezuela stuff is happening. Why don't we just
drop Roger Stone into the meat grinding machine that is the M
5am, cable news media and Twitter and everything and just
let it chop up and let the blood and the guts and the bone pieces
fly around? While we're off there making our deal in
Venezuela. And let this be part of the Compendium. And to then
have Brennan of not to come out from Venezuela Story No, Brennan
comes out after Roger Stone is swatted for an indictment. Of
course, he didn't even have to pay an actual an actual bail
amount signed and he walked out. So all of a sudden we have the
former director of CIA after months of missing an action he
pops up is obvious. And I would say anyone near Alex Jones go
away. You should back away from the operation. I don't think
that's going to end very well as well.
That's a good thesis. Now
let's listen to the the fourth or the third clip I have on
Brennan and it's a good question. From the morning, Joe
people with with it's kind of leading as well, with these
indictments, what is the story? Bob Muller is trying to tell us?
What's the story, as you see it that Muller has begun to tell
with the public information that we have,
that there was an extensive effort to try to influence the
outcome of the election that involved the Russians that
involve us persons. And that may have gone to the very top of the
Trump campaign. And so I think the shoes that are yet to drop
are going to be the ones that are going to be the most
profound, and that will hit the people at the at the top of the
organization. Who that is
the organization meeting Donald Trump,
it may be family members?
Well, I think, you know, clearly they have been taught to or
they've been interviewed by the FBI. I think there's a fair
amount of vulnerability that they might have on this. But
again, I defer to the special counsel's office to make the
determination about whether what they did cross that threshold
from collusion, which I think is quite evidence to criminal
conspiracy. Whether or not it's past that threshold that is
going to lead into an indictment of individuals that are close to
Mr. Trump that are part of his family or others.
And I want to be very clear about what I was saying earlier
about the gay Cabal. Again, go look up Roy Cohn co H en look at
what he did look at where he came from. He's it sees a Jew.
He's a Jew, self hating, Jew, homophobic, gay guy. It's an
incredible story.
self loathing is the term
self loathing. Okay, self loathing, loathing. Yes. You
understood what I was saying. This bath, the bath houses, and
it was Trump Bolton who is oddly right there in the Trump
cabinet. Good Lord knows why maybe we figured it out. Roger
Stone, George W. Bush. And if you doubt me, go look for The
Washington Post front page story about my uncle, my uncle Donald
Greg. Giving midnight tours in the White House to gay
prostitutes for for President George H. Walker Bush. I mean,
this is this is not like an like a big thing I'm making up here.
This is well known but never really discussed. Because it's
always the SEC stuff that brings these people down every single
time. They can keep it in their pants. Yeah,
they're bored. Yeah,
that's probably a part of it.
Well, I have a bunch of Roger clips that I thought were worth
going through. Good, good, good. Now, he went on Tucker
immediately after they arrest and it was one of these moments
on Tucker, where although Tucker's always got this kind of
flabbergasted look on his face all the time with the kind of
mouth open. It's like, just kind of like, oh my God, who am I
hearing what I'm hearing the sad dog, that look. And so, but it's
one of those times where Tucker wasn't like trying to be trying
to start a fight or anything, he was actually letting stone go on
and on. So he displayed that look of oh my god, he's
taking it a little further. He's kind of like, You're so sad.
It's Oh, my God, this is horrible. I can't believe this
is happening. That's it's bankrupting you that's the take
keys. I Tucker is very compromised in his own way. I'm
a little disappointed in some of the stuff he's doing. But okay.
Well, but he does get he did get stone on and nobody else did.
And so let's start with the Roger on Tucker on arrest a
clip,
when he's the only one that has stone on no one else did. That's
when you want to ask question. I
understand that.
Okay. And we saw the very large number of armed federal agents
bringing you out of the house. Is there something we don't
know? Do you have an arsenal at home? Had you made threats
against prosecutors threats of violence? I mean, is there
context that we don't have?
No, first of all, it's disconcerting that CNN was aware
that I would be arrested before my lawyers were informed. That's
disturbing. If it was a dangerous situation, which would
merit the SWAT team well then CNNs cameraman would be in
danger. I don't know why they would be allowed to be there.
By the way, good point. If you watch the video, this the
cameramen are like right up in their grill. It's not like a
huge distance shot they're in the bushes they're off to the
left. A fair point about that being a big setup I
had no firearm in the house. I don't have a permit for a
firearm I don't own a firearm things
I would never say on television. Like wow, no, that's something
go rob that guy just don't admit these things are
firearm I don't own a firearm. Only my wife my two dogs in my
three cats were at home. I'm not a flight risk. In fact, I think
my passport has expired or it will expire in a few days. I
have no record of criminal past. And frankly, they just could
have contacted my attorney and I would have voluntarily turned
myself in. The proof of this is that only hours later, the judge
granted me a $250,000 surety bond, meaning on my signature
with no funds put forward, because I'm not a flight risk.
And as far as the government's contention that they were
concerned that I would destroy evidence. They've been in my
email, and my text messages, and my phone calls for two years,
probably longer because the New York Times reported on January
22, January 20 17, that I was among three people in the Trump
campaign under active surveillance.
Believe me, a lot of people were reading his email and listening
to his phone, not just one agency.
Well, that brings up this clip here. This is the Roger war on
the press clip, which is kind of a kind of an interesting, this
was probably scripted between him and, and Tucker, but it's
pretty good.
So it's clear. I mean, it's clear from reading the
indictment. And you've you've been saying it for at least a
year that the feds were spying on your texts?
There's been there's no question about it. I
think there's there's no question I agree, based on based
on the indictment that they released today. So given that
they're reading all of your texts, you text with a huge I
happen to know a huge number of journalists, including me. And
some of them, you know, work for CNN, even maybe all of those
texts were being read by a federal prosecutor. What do you
think those journalists, some of whom are talking about this case
right now on TV think of that?
Well, you know, that's the amazing thing is the press is
not coming out and standing up against this war against free
expression, this war against the First Amendment, which is really
a war against the press.
It's flabbergasting. Really? Why would the press Done? Why would
the press do? I can't believe they're not fighting against
this.
He goes on with this thesis, I think or just probably before
that last clip, because that was near the end. But play Roger on
the war on free speech,
the charges against you, which are primarily for lying to
Congress. And one of the things you're accused of lying to
Congress about is whether or not there was any evidence you had
evidence of communication between you and an intermediary
and Julian Assange? Did you? Again, given that you knew that
they had your electronic communications and would know
the answer already? Wouldn't that be a stupid thing to lie
about? What is this charge
yet? Yes, it dude, it's really simple. I did forget that I had
text messages from an old cell phone that were entirely
exculpatory, which proved that everything I'd said about
critical being my source regarding the significance, and
the October release date of the WikiLeaks material was accurate.
I believe he lied to the grand jury about that that's been
reported. But he appears not to be being prosecuted for perjury,
but I forgot exculpatory information. And therefore I
will, if anybody had bothered to read my, my website, the stone
cold truth, they would know that I've basically refuted and
documented the refutation of virtually every charge in this
indictment. The indictment is thin indeed. So what is this
about? It's about silencing me. There's a war on alternative
media. There's a war where they're trying to criminalize
political expression. There's a war where they're trying to
criminalize free speech. Yeah.
Yeah, like
to highlight a few of our producers independently said to
me, nothing in this world ever happens by accident. And I think
that that makes a lot of sense in this case. And Roger Stone,
it may just be the Hail Mary from Mueller, like do use this
guy. Everything about him is wrong. Or actually
very interesting idea, or one of the things I'm not going to get
one more clip up plague out of the woods, not that important,
which is him whining about going broke. Probably is he might be
he might be Yeah, yeah. But you know, he's come back. And it is
kind of a shame that the system will can just break somebody but
they can. This is his use of the term and I use it a lot when he
first got arrested and he's going to continue to use it and
it either is he's either using it to to send a man Message to
some Christians who are going to be told to testify or something.
Yes, I like to use this
term over and over. He never says the word lie. He uses the
term and this clip has an example of it of bearing false
witness
efforts to shut down my show at Infowars. The efforts to silence
Alex Jones, who was one of my greatest supporters and
proponents are part of this war. So I intend to plead not guilty.
I believe I will be vindicated. It's funny to watch Preet
Bharara and CNN say this is a slam dunk calls me a liar.
Here's a guy who a federal judge lashed for lying in the William
Walton case. You're the liar Preet. So and then watching
reporters jumped to conclusions, Tucker and say, Oh, well, the
the the Trump campaign official who directed stone to find out
about WikiLeaks was Donald Trump. No, it was not. There are
several things in here in the indictment that are certainly
not true. So
who was it? If it wasn't the president? Who was? Well, I
had to speculate about that because it since it never
happened. It appears to me that they have composed testimony for
someone, perhaps Rick gates, perhaps Steve Bannon, perhaps
someone is bearing false witness against me. But knowing what's
in my email and my text messages, there is no
corroboration whatsoever for this.
Yeah, you know, there's so much more when it comes to
specifically these guys and Florida. And Broward County and
Sheriff Scott Israel from the school that got shot up Roger
Stone good friends with him. Trump, Mara Lago, Maxwell, the
member, the billionaire with his daughter, who then you know, all
these these sex calls, it's a mess, and Trump is in it. He's
in the middle of the sex mess and Florida and I think there's
Epstein, all of this stuff. It's it's the more you look, the more
you want to look away. And I think I think stone really had
to be she's probably lucky. They did it this way. To be honest, I
think he's, he's such a talker. He's got so much he has so much
so much information. He's He's a real liability for all parties,
all parties. See, none of the truth can really come out about
all any of this. Because all of that stuff has to come up.
Again. just coincidental that the Miami Herald does this huge
expose a on Epstein, the Broward County up in arms with all these
different things. Yes.
So said in one of his interviews, you said that he's
looking forward to this case actually going forward because
he wants to see because this is where a lot of money gets chewed
up to he says he wants to see what they have on him in
discovery. And they're gonna start asking to move the thing
these these cases don't get resolved in people like does
some guy on NBC he's gonna be guilty, for sure because these
indictments are well written. Listen to this clown. He's the
MSNBC LEGAL ANALYST wants the chief of the DEA is one of these
tough guys talks like this. And he went on and on about this and
I'm thinking I doubt it because they for one thing the
indictment was is lame and very lame. And it's going to open up
a can of worms if it actually goes to trial. I think they just
get this was a you probably right. This was you indict Him?
They haven't signed a surety bond go home. And now he has to
shut up especially he's because he's going to plead not guilty.
I'm sure they're sure because he doesn't want to bear false
witness against the president. And so he's got it but then it
just stays there like that. It he can't do anything. He can't
go talk and because it's all going to be used, you know, he
just can't did shuts him up,
then and all the intelligence community doesn't like that what
his stone is doing don't like these kinds of people. You know,
they like drinking, no drugs, booze and women. That's the
intelligence community. We don't do any of the crazy bathhouse
stuff that everyone want this guy out of the way I'm telling
you, he's lucky to be alive in my opinion. And he may just be
the fall guy. This is why Brennan comes out and says Haha,
it's the Compendium here. It's all going to come together. And
for those of you who who tune out after we say goodbye and
don't listen to the end of show mixes, I'll give you a little
teaser of what Sir Chris Wilson has put together they're down
under
to be dragged into the black manual Roger.
I mean, do we have the best producers? Or do we have the
best producers?
Yeah, well, we do have the best producers.
And with that, I'd like to thank them but also like to thank you
and say in the morning to you, John, see where the C stands
for? Crude Texas tea DeVore Ack.
Well, in the morning, you have Mr. Adam curry. Also in the
morning, Joe, all the ships at sea boots on the ground feed
near subs in the water and all the data that is out there in
the
morning to the troll room, no agenda stream.com, which is now
pretty much 24/7 A great place to hang out this morning. Void
zero did a little musical show. If people are doing more and
more live stuff more producers getting on the stream. It's
eaten up. We like that. So thank you for joining us this morning.
Also in the morning to Mike Riley, who brought us the
artwork through the no agenda art generator for episode 1106.
The title of that was smart wall and we could not have been more
timely with that because that's pretty much exactly the only
words people were talking about the wall for the two days after
that show. And this was the GPO at the goat power, the greatest
podcast of all time with the ram's horn on the front, just a
nice piece of art. And there were other fun pieces but they
didn't have the composition they just didn't have this rod popped
Major League. Yeah, and really popped. So Mike, thank you very
much Mike Riley. That no agenda art generator.com where our
artists are always uploading fantastic pieces of artwork, we
change it on every single show. Not every single podcast app
will show our brand new art and I recommend you go get a
different app if they don't.
Cuz it's just we're in spec. We
adhere to the spec. That's right. Being one of the creators
of said spec, we adhere to the spec.
Yeah, inexcusable.
But we do on value for value. Well, we
got a few people that came in big. Oh, ugly.
Okay. You said that two times now. Yeah, I
just saw that the shows were the word of the show. No, I
really don't think so.
Do you not think so? Bigley? No,
I think it sounds lamely did.
Dear John, starts to note from Dame Kathy and Sir Greg. Oh,
this Baroness of the Fox River Valley. Our thanks to Mammoth
Aaron of the Chicago Portage.
And where are they? Why am I thinking they're in some mammoth
West Chicago. Okay. All right.
And they came up with $700 Holy crap.
It's 350 This is the whole family right this dame Cathy
Barrett and family of barons fantastic it's royalty in
Chicago.
It is West Chicago. Different town got it is our considered
opinion that your deserved Clip of the Day for President truth
last Sunday. Let me read that again. Is Arkansas because I
didn't read it with the right emphasis. It is our considered
opinion that you John deserved Clip of the Day for President
truth last Sunday. So her her her request for jingle for the
$700 donation is that you play a clip of the day jingle even
though it won't count.
No, I won't do that. What No, I won't
and that $100 donation from two barons I'll play it play just a
clip did so we can just listen to the clip of what does it
refer to anything you said I
have to play the clip of the day jingle? Yeah, it wasn't Clip of
the Day.
I know but you're not playing it for the Clip of the Day. You're
just playing it gratuitously as the requested clip.
No, I haven't. I'll do it. But I have a real problem with it. I
feel that this is this is the beginning of the end if that's
how it's gonna go.
It's the only one it'd be a great end.
Oh, that's true. You got to point clear
and then give them some karma.
Oh, they want that too? Yeah, I got
number one donors today What do you got against them? What do
you hate them? No, I think like Chicago
Clip of the Day is something sacred that only you or I could
hand out. And this plenty of to enjoy. Cuz you know what will
happen? I'm telling you what's going to happen every single
day. Whoa, you should have had clip in the day. Give him clip
it a day. Usually clip it everyone has an opinion. I clip
it. Everyone has a karma. Karma I have principles. I feel it I
feel is
selling but I'm gonna ask that the following take place. I feel
it's selling any donation of $700. By anyone can request that
you play that jingle. For whatever reason. Okay,
deal. Yeah, not 701 not 69977
Even Okay. All right. That's six So your donation level that's
your feeling is going to push this off. I am predicting we'll
get not even one more of these requests.
Your predictions are kind of iffy lately.
I I do have my ups and downs. But that prediction that we will
hold you watch, we will not see another $700 donation.
Not only not only that, but you will not see a clip of the day
ever again. Yeah, sure.
Patrick, Debbie in Wichita, Kansas. 333 33. Ah, I have the
note for him to Patrick Patrick Patrick pet. To get me glasses.
John and Adam, my son hit me in the mouth about three years ago
by did not listen to you regularly until round and after
the presidential election. I have been somewhat astonished at
the change in the news reporting over the past two years, you
have convinced me that the news business is a business supplying
what the customers and advertisers want?
That's the same thing. Yeah, yeah. See, customers advertisers
equals same thing.
Yeah, of course, it's a business that's the problem with online
news, reinforcing our own beliefs. I fear the dimensions
will divide more and more completely over the next few
years and the fake news is our future. Well, I think that's
been documented. Your analysis has been a breath of fresh air
for me. My wish is for the new year that more people listen to
the greatest podcast in the universe no agenda. I'm sorry to
admit to this as my first donation please de douche me.
You've been de deuced I'd like to apply this donation of a son

You're welcome and just thank the karma not us.
Yes, we had nothing to do with it wasn't even our idea. No.
In fact, most of the show is not come to think of it
right yeah, we're just conduits for the collective unconscious
of the producers. Yeah, man conduits, conduits man for the
collective unconscious.
Apps man finger snaps small batch.

I love that he was talking about shutdown because that's when
this clip was from from the last shutdown Yeah, just every
shutdown just record out and he's great God he's off duty
with it you know, I say this in normal life and I forget that
not everyone knows the no agenda show vocabulary. And I say oh
yeah good no Judy with it. Do you look at me like would we
know about the Tourette's but this is going a bit far now.
You know, I had this theory The wife said Judy, because he's
reading off the prompter Yes. Is the G C's get eg add why but he
pronounces Jeff. It correctly I suppose the GIF. GIF correctly.
So he sees that G thinks is a soft g and he says Jide instead
of Getty Yeah, yeah. Why he's dumb. Anonymous, and so
Stillwell, Kansas $240. You sent a note in and by the way,
there's two notes that came in both of them on the exact same
kind of weird the scrap paper. It's very strange. Feels good to
get clean. Keep it anonymous too lazy to write more to under 40.
Okay. I thought I read his note.
Thank you very much. Anonymous,

jobs, jobs and jobs, let's vote for jobs
enlivens things that concludes our list of associated executive
producers and executive producers for 11, seven
1107 1107. Thank you all for being so go to show coat
friendly, it's nice. We are pro goat here on the show, greatest
of all time, which means the Rams will win the Super Bowl. So
thank you, our executive producers and Associate
Executive producers. These are valuable credits, and we
recognize them they recognize anywhere credits are, are
accepted, but we just celebrate them. Unlike Hollywood wait for
the Oscars. Wait for him, let's you tell me if any executive
producers get an award, or even mentioned, they're not
mentioned, we understand the importance of it. Many of you do
other things for a value for value network, the financing is
what Executive Associate Executive producers do what a
lot of producers do will be thanking more than $50 and above
in our second segment. And remember, we do have another
show coming up on Thursday, just remember us boruch.org/n A, I
think you have a few things deconstructed, which you can
take out and propagate as a formula. Our formula is this, we
go out, we get people in the mouth.
Before we go any further, I must stop and say that I'm very
curious as to your response and perhaps even your coveted vote.
Now that you know that Elizabeth Warren has proposed what you
have been a proponent of for as long as I've known you, the
wealth tax on rich Americans, this is something you've always
been for.
Yes, but I've been for a generalized wealth tax with the
elimination of income tax altogether, because the income
tax prevents you from accumulating wealth and if you
don't accumulate
Okay, so that's the caveat is you feel that as long as we
abolish income tax, and we just do a wealth tax. That's that. I
never really remember you saying that. But I believe, I believe,
I believe and I'm not, I'm not
disputing it, the argument is, you can't accumulate wealth if
you're being taxed for your income, and you want to
encourage people to make as much money as they can possibly make
income wise, you don't want to discourage it. So you want to
encourage that and then when they start accumulating to the
point where they have like a little too much money, and
they're not spending it on anything except it even if
they're spending it on yachts and houses, those are that's
part of their wealth. And if they're putting it into this
back into the system by you know, hiring a lot of people and
doing all these other things. That's not wealth. You're not
You're not You're not accumulating wealth if you
haven't
got cash. Okay, well, then, then I'm okay. So perhaps you should
say a wealth only tax
Well, I thought it was implied.
Um, maybe I don't really not. It's been it's been a while
since we've talked about it so I
never wants to imply the least here's what I think is positive.
She brought it into the conversation that's it's a gap
but her wealth taxes gouge the rich, it's yours is everybody
with 50 million in assets and charge them 2% of all our
assets. And I think that's unfair, but it's the start it
starts the discussion all right. And people say oh, you know, you
can't do a well tags because you you it's impossible if you will
hide no data, you can't hide that much wealth. You can't hide
you Bureau houses you can't hide your yachts right so
it's really on your your your your your worth, your net worth
really
your net worth your poor portfolio is the IRS knows what
it is if you start cheating on where you're putting your money
hiding it in the Cayman Islands, you know, they don't like this.
So you have to your, your your wealth consists of your property
and your portfolio and your bank account. Yes. And and that's it.
I mean, and we've never had problems collecting property
tax. No. It's a big building.
Yeah. Okay, no good solved. I did come up with just staying
with the 2020 election. And I believe this to be true. You
know, I've had a bit of an issue with Kamala Harris is. Well, now
she's saying she was raised as African American. So she
identifies as African American. I guess that's valid by today's
standard. She's not African American. I don't believe she
had the pure African American experience growing up in Ottawa.
But if she says to say if she says she was raised African
American, even though her father's Jamaican, her mother's
Indian, okay, I'm not going to argue it. However, it is my
belief in order to be eligible for President. Your parents have
to have been naturalized for at least five years prior to the
child's birth. I could be wrong, but I think there's a regulation
somewhere in there.
So you think she's ineligible?
I do. Her father arrived from Jamaica in 61. Her mom from
India in 1960. She was born in 62. So I don't think she's
eligible.
Oh, well, she's not gonna win anyway. Oh,
man, that she's high on some people's list.
Yeah, I've heard this too. And it's just like you when you
think about it, John, I'm just
covering the bases here. I really despise
this stuff together. Because there's a lot of guys running.
Yeah. I mean, it's now it's gotten to the point where
there's probably 50 Democrats that think they're going to run
for president. Yeah. The only smart to it. Yeah. It's close to
it. The only smart money seems to be Gavin Newsom Newsom, who's
our, you know, one, he's a want to be president. But they asked
him if he wants to run against Trump in 2020. And he said, Hell
no. Because He's smart. He's gonna run in 2024. Yeah, he's
gonna wait, he's gonna wait. No one wants to do this. I'll just
the morons want to go up against Trump? Well, you
have a list of them. And there is a long list of morons are
the elites were all I guess, are they done now? Are they back
from Davao from they're
still going on isn't finished, finished. Like tonight or
tonight? Well, I
thought I thought last night was a big crescendo, like a big
climax because they had their key key speaker. Remember this?
I think there were 15 or 1600, private jets that all convened
on Davao to talk about climate change, amongst other things,
they
could share a ride that was talking about climate change.
So this guest speaker, whose original speech was about six
minutes long, but once I chopped out all the spaces, so it has
been modified for your for brevity and for your
entertainment enjoyment. This speaker did not come on a
private jet. The speaker took a 37 hour train ride to provide
the sound bites that everyone craves when you're in the elite
circles, because all they're talking about is who controls
this spending, and what are we spending it on to grow? And I
think that climate change is one that's kind of failing and 5g as
the other one. We'll get to that in a moment. This is Greta
Thunberg. This is the the 12 year old kid. And she had some
really interesting things to say. And I think it's worth it's
long clip. Even though
it's up to this then good good is long, but it's
important to listen because this is being said in a stage that is
intended to come across as alarmist Of course, we're
abusing this child to do this. So we've seen this with the the
invasion in Iraq, we use children to talk about children
being thrown out of incubators, all lies. This child is being
salvaged by the way she has show business parents, did you know
that it's like a mom's an opera singer, her dad's an actor
granddad was a director. So it's a total show business family,
and they prop this kid up and they let her terrorize her age
group. Specifically,
I am here to say our house is on fire. No kids
ever worried when you say the house is on fire. It's just
they're all They're all fine with it.
According to the IPCC. We are less than 12 years away from not
being able to undo our mistakes. In that time. Unprecedented
changes in all aspects of society needs to have taken
place, including a reduction of our co2 emissions by at least
50%. And please note that those numbers do not include the
aspect of equity, which is absolutely necessary to make the
Paris Agreement work on a global scale, nor does it include
tipping points or feedback loops, like the extreme powerful
methane gas being released from the thawing Arctic permafrost.
Notice how they slip in a couple of new things here, oh, it's the
methane gas being released from the melting ice and and they're
going to die so horribly
at places like Davos, people like to tell success stories,
but their financial success has come with an unthinkable price
tag and on climate change, we have to acknowledge that we have
failed, all political movements, in their present form have done
so. And the media has failed to create broad public awareness,
but homosapiens have not yet failed. Yes, we are failing, but
there's still time to turn everything around. We can still
fix this. We still have everything in our own hands. But
unless we recognize the overall failures of our current systems,
we must probably those probably don't stand a chance. We are
facing a disaster of unspoken sufferings for enormous amounts
of people. And now it's not the time for speaking politely to
focus in on what we can or cannot say. Now's the time to
speak. Clearly, solving the climate crisis is the greatest
and most complex challenge that Homo sapiens has have ever
faced. I'm not
quite sure why she keeps saying homosapiens I mean, obviously we
know that that man, mankind, womankind, people on Earth,
people,
maybe it's because of the possibility of using the word
man. Now, yes,
politically correct. Thank you. The main
solution, however, is so simple, that even a small child can
understand it, we have to stop the emissions of greenhouse
gases. In either we do that, or we don't, you see, nothing in
life is black or white. But that is life, a very dangerous lie.
Either we prevent a 1.5 degree of warming, or we don't. Either,
we avoid setting off that irreversible chain reaction.
beyond human control. We don't either we choose to go on as a
civilization or we don't, that is black or white as it gets.
There are no gray areas when it comes to survival. Now we all
have a choice, we can create transformational action that
will safeguard the future living conditions for humankind, we can
continue with our business as usual and fail. That is up to
you when we say that we should not engage in activism. Instead,
we should leave everything to our politicians and just vote
for changes. But what do we do when there is no political will?
What do we do when the politics needed are nowhere in sight here
in divorce, just like everywhere else. Everyone is talking about
money. It seems that money and growth are our own only make
sense. And since the climate crisis is a crisis that has
never once been treated as a crisis. People are simply not
aware of the full consequences of our everyday life. People are
not aware that there is such a thing as a carbon budget, and
just how incredibly small that remaining carbon budget is,
had you heard of this carbon budget.
That's a new term for me.
Yeah, I looked it up and the carbon budget is the mount. It's
the it's kind of a reverse budget, the amount of carbon
you're allowed to use. But here comes the next piece, which is
very telling, that needs
to change today. Know all the current challenge can match the
importance of establishing a wide public awareness and
understanding of our rapidly disappearing carbon budgets that
should and must become a new global currency at the very
heart of future and present
economics. So carbon becomes the new currency. Thanks, kiddo.
We are now at a time in history, where everyone with any insight
of the climate crisis that threatens our civilization, and
the entire biosphere must speak out. In clear language, no
matter how uncomfortable and unprofitable that may be, we
must change almost everything in our current societies. The
bigger your carbon footprint is, the bigger your module. The
bigger your platform, the bigger your responsibility. Adults keep
saying, we owe it to the young people to give them hope. But I
don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want
you to panic. I want you to feel the fear. I feel every day. I
want you to act. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I
wanted to act as if the house was on fire.
I gotta say, I gotta say, I think those Google guys have
done pretty good on their new AI it's it's quite convincing.
You know, I think they if you're sitting in the audience, and you
one of the guys that came in and one of the 1500 private jets,
yeah, you're sitting there and you're listening to her and you
think you're probably talking to your guy next to you said you
know, they've done a great job with the kids you know, they
think we have them under complete control. This fan we
can convince them of anything, any any crazy notion, and in
fact has gotten so carried away in Europe and I expect to see
this year even though it did He tried to do this here, but our
kids aren't quite this dumb. But this is the Brussels big student
strike over this.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And in Brussels, Belgium, an estimated 35,000 Children held a
one day school strike Thursday surrounding the European
Parliament Building demanding urgent action on climate change.
It was one of the largest student protests ever in the
Belgian capitol. Students said they're ready to skip classes
once a week until their demands are met,
greeting the if we skip every Thursday, so we don't go to
school, that the big people in our country and in the world who
say that it's a problem, and that they will do something
about it.
The students are following in the footsteps of now. 16 year
old Greta Thun Berg from Sweden who is leading the school strike
movement globally. She is now in Davos, Switzerland, dressing
leaders at the World Economic Forum.
She's 16 I thought she was a little younger
dressing leaders. That's what she said.
Yes, instead of addressing these dressing,
dressing them hey, can you hear all your those pants they gotta
go?
She said to every one of them all of your pants. And I was so
hopeful I even saw that nuclear energy was on on a couple of the
on the table a couple of conversations in Davao it's
cropped up more and more as as a true alternative. And right on
cue. I'm waiting for our very own atomic sir atomic rod Adams
to check in. He should be here because he's the guy that turned
me on to this lying scumbag. This is a former nuclear
regulator of the United States jack. So do you remember this
guy? No. Okay, so jadco He, he left the Nuclear Regulatory
regulatory agency, because he was a dick mainly towards women.
But that doesn't matter. He's back. No one has a problem with
him anymore. He's written a book. It is and what you gotta
love the subtext of The Confessions of a rogue nuclear
regulator is the title of his book, which I think is intended
to conjure up images of Confessions of an economic
hitman. And of course, nuclear is the stupidest thing we could
do. Oh, my God, Whoa, no.
Today 98 reactors that 59 commercial nuclear sites in the
US provide power across the country, using a technology
heralded by proponents as a savior from climate change and
the key to solving the world's growing energy needs. But our
next guest says that nuclear power is more hazardous than it
is worth and warns that it can its continued use will lead to
catastrophe in this country or somewhere else in the world.
Former Chairman of the US nuclear regulatory commission,
Greg Gregory Yachats. CO joins us now he's the author of a new
memoir entitled, Confessions of a rogue nuclear regulator. And
thank you very much for being on the show. Wondering what the
exact confessions are, especially given your tenure as
NRC Commissioner, ended in a little bit of controversy a
little bit first, why you wrote the book?
Well,
I wanted people to really understand how this industry is
regulated and how it works. Because this is a technology
that's hazardous. It's a technology that at any moment
really could lead to the kind of catastrophic accident we saw at
Fukushima. So I thought people should understand that. And, you
know, as you said, people are talking about nuclear power is
the Savior to climate change. And that worries me more than
the risk of a nuclear power plant accident,
because I don't think it can rise today.
Wait a minute, what did he just say? He said something weird
there.
You know, as you said, people are talking about nuclear power
is the Savior to climate change. And that worries me more than
the risk of a nuclear power plant accident,
because I don't think it can rise to that challenge.
So it's more worrying to him than a meltdown of a reactor, or
something else like that is actually people using nuclear to
combat climate change.
Worse than that, if you really deconstruct what he said, just
talking about, right is Yeah,
I got a couple more short clips from this guy from this
interview. He's using Fukushima. He doesn't even go back to
Chernobyl, a Three Mile Island zone, Fukushima. And, you know,
he's conflating a lot of different things. It was an
earthquake right off the coast, it was a tsunami, the tsunami is
what triggered the meltdown. And the tsunami killed the people
the tsunami made everybody move away. But okay, so I started
in Washington as a physicist, and so I looked at every issue
based on the facts and made hypotheses and revise those
hypotheses as I learned new facts and The biggest fact that
changed my mind was this accident in Fukushima. I saw
100,000 people evacuated from their homes, many of them
permanently evacuated. And you know, that's the kind of thing
you should never see from from a source that generates
electricity.
Oh, let's see, do we ever had any problems with oil? Has that
ever been bad for the environment? Or for people?
Let me know. He would also argue oils bad he did. We're talking
about a guy, the climate change guy who was all in on solar. He
doesn't say this. But this is the mentality. Oh, yeah. Oil,
bad. Nuke bad. solar. Wind good. Yeah, you got
in. Moreover, we were promised in the industry pledge that
these kinds of accidents were in the past. And here we had one in
front of us, which I simply couldn't ignore anymore. And I
began to realize then that this is a technology that simply was
too hazardous to really be a future technology.
So just stop all developments. It could never be any good. It's
it's no good. It's, you know, it's it ruin Japan,
just so there's really the area around the plant, there's larger
as the plant that are still uninhabitable. Most of those
people who were evacuated, can't return to their homes or won't
return to their homes. So lives have been disrupted in a way
that we think about more with wars than with with energy
generation, and you have a lot of radioactive water that's
being stored at the site. People really don't know what to do
with. So it'll be decades before this really gets just how likely
could this something like this happen in United States? You
know, it's so hard to predict this plants kind of awkward
always on this precipice of normal operation on one side and
catastrophic failure on the other. But what we know is the
accidents will happen. So it's just a question of when and
where and it's it's hard to predict, which is why the
industry often touts that everything's fine.
So his solution to
sorry, guys, because it rarely happens. There's three major
incidents
true remote, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima. Yeah.
And
how many years has it been? I mean, the new nuclear power
probably began and in earnest, at least, the discussions in the
late 50s
I mean, mica could have brought up I don't know France. Now.
Hey, phrase pretty well.
They're trying to shut those down. Yeah, that's Macron. You
know, that guy?
Well, our buddy here has some solutions. And if I'm not
mistaken, isn't solar energy subsidized by the government?
The law? Yeah, I think it most of it is how Elon Musk
cars were certainly subsidized by the government. So there's
all kinds of electrical stuff that
economics Well, you did a whole a whole takedown of the of wind
powers subsidies in view, oh, man, and all the rest of it.
Well listen to his last bit here. So for people who don't
know. So as a part of morning, Joe, I guess they bring in the
BBC, USA woman, Katie, or Kathy, whatever it name is, I don't
know why she's there. But she gets to ask a question. So for
people who
are trying to find a counter to fossil fuels in the fight
against global warming, having nuclear power written off like
this is kind of depressing, because this was the hope,
right, that nuclear power could be made safer. And it could be
the counter in our effort to keep global temperatures from
going up. If you weigh the risks of higher global temperatures,
because of fossil fuel, increase usage, and nuclear power, you
still come down firmly in the favor of, of non nuclear of non
nuclear power. So
she's got a she got a good point here. Except for the you know,
the accidents even with that. I mean, it's just not a good idea
to try this. Yeah, I
mean, I think that's a false choice. Because there are right
now in the marketplace, cleaner, sun, wind, geothermal, these
technologies are actually in some cases cheaper than nuclear.
And they're getting cheaper, much, much faster. So I actually
think the future is pretty hopeful. But what we need to do
is really let the markets decide and kind of get out of the way
of subsidizing reactors to try and keep them around. Because
the reason people are doing that is to keep the reactors around,
they're not really doing it to deal with climate change.
Because if you want to deal with climate change, you just have to
let the market decide. And then you need to do things with gas
to maybe make gas a little bit more expensive. To do that. The
things that are going to fill in is really wind, sun and
geothermal. It's not nuclear. And that's what we're seeing in
the market here in the US and throughout the rest of the
world. Except it's not true.
God, I hate this guy is such a dick. We've done a lie should I
gotta do it since he's back on the scene. I'm gonna follow him.
Because he was he was expelled, you know, for basically a me too
moment. It wasn't long after the mid was just before the show
started. I'm trying to think now as to 2012 when he announced his
resignation, but it was because you know, people that complain,
he was a dick, especially female subordinates. One woman told me
she felt the chairman was actually irritated with someone
else but took it out on her. I mean, this guy would have been
excoriated, and Mika Brzezinski just says, oh, yeah, just was
Have a bit of controversy oh no problem all paid all big it's a
big this is this is your big oil money right here that's your big
oil money
that could be there's a possibility they exist that oils
behind this this guy you think well I mean some it has to be
some explanation he can't He doesn't seem like a guy
especially if he's if he's a masher or whatever he
was mashing
yeah he'd be you know a kind of a crunchy guy to logical
got another do something and I got another president I
gotta do I got a couple of things I get the no checks
report I want to play tips and I want to make a commentary
Oh check checks we are we getting checks what checks
we will listen to some of these checks. Alright, so checks.
Start with C let's do the longest one of this dude no
checks, report FBI etc.
Kathy Kalani is an IRS worker in Florida. And I want to believe
and I pray that the politicians in Washington will do this
economy and everybody rate by doing the right thing.
Hours before the President's announcement, the shutdown was
escalated right under Bravo in the Northeast. Today, air
traffic reduced to a trickle.
I wouldn't be surprised to take, you know another 20 to 30
minutes before we come become airborne
after a number of air traffic controllers called in sick
when they probably saw the second zero paycheck. They
probably put so much stress on him and they're not fit for duty
if they are overstressed
New York's LaGuardia Airport brought to a standstill got
totally sympathetic to them because
you can't operate a business that way.
Meanwhile, pressure was also building at the FBI.
It takes a lot to get me angry, but I'm about as angry as I've
been in a long, long time.
FBI director Chris rea today told 32,000 employees it was
unfair and short sighted to make them work without pay. And IRS
backlash has also been building 14,000 workers called in sick
this week after being called back to work without pay. Among
them. Laurie Wilcox in Utah who fears she'll be furloughed again
next month, we're terrified that we're gonna lose our house, lose
our cars.
You know, this was this was a pretty slick move. And I think
this is why Trump quote unquote caved what I understand that
that from the union, the air traffic controllers union and
perhaps more of the well certainly air traffic
controllers, that something like a quarter of them are made 20 to
25% are working but they're completely eligible for to take
their pension and to retire. And yeah, that I think there was
some noise like oh, we're gonna have 20% walk off the job and
just take their pension and never come back.
You know, that's a possibility. But that's kind of not going to
be my point. I'm gonna play another one of these clips. This
is the no checks report. NBC belt buckles, and Los Angeles
furloughed FAA inspector Curtis Calabrese is expecting back pay,
but says the political tug of war should have never happened
in the first place. This all began over debate for a wall
right?
Has it been worth it to weigh that against the safety of the
American people that are flying every day? Is that worth it?
Absolutely. Not.
In Washington DC
some agree.
I don't think it was worth it. What did it accomplish nothing.
Back in Colorado, single mom and Devon Lance lost her job at the
belt buckle shop.
I don't see myself going back to work before the end of February
until something is truly signed and done.
Families caught where politics turns personal. Morgan Chesky
NBC News
let's go to this one. Again, no know checks. I get the FBI don't
checks report NBC This is shorty
federal workers like Karla Davis, a grant processor at
housing and urban development need a little more help waiting
on backpay I'm glad
it's over. It's over. But I still don't feel safe. Like
three weeks is
a long time.
And then let's go to no checks report random democracy now with
Coast Guard kicker
This comes as some 800,000 federal workers who've been
furloughed or forced to work without pay for over a month
will miss a second paycheck. Today. Federal workers are
increasingly turning to food pantries as they struggle to pay
for housing, food and other basic needs. Among them more
than 40,000 active duty members of the US Coast Guard. This is
Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Karl Schultz.
I find it unacceptable that Coast Guard men and women have
to rely on food pantries and donations to get through day to
day life as service members need Okay,
well, let's just stop here, I got up a million of them. But
let's listen to these. And now analyze these things we got guys
in the Coast Guard guys in the FBI, ATC, everybody, and they've
got to miss a second check. And a woman that one woman, as you
heard says, We're gonna lose our house, we're gonna lose our
cars. That's total bullshit. And is it? Yeah, is it? Yes, it is.
And
I have, I think I have,
may or may not be but what their message they're sending is that
this economy is so weak and so flaky, that you can't miss one
or two, let's say two paychecks without losing your house, your
car and everything in between. Yeah, that's what they're
saying. That's the case, you can prove it's not the case. And
that would be fine. Because I don't believe it is either. You
can prove that's the case. But if that is the case, that these
people are so bent out of shape about this, over the one or two
last paychecks, which tells me that too many people too many
people. And I'm assuming that there's some truth to this. Too
many people that are making good money working for the
government. That's not like a lousy paying job working for the
government, the federal government in particular.
They're living paycheck to paycheck. What happens if we
have an actual economic collapse?
We're all going to die?
I would think so.
If you're working for the federal government, and you've
been working there for let's assume for some time that you
have cars and you have a house, that doesn't mean you started
yesterday. And you're you can lose all these things. Overnight
because of a miss paycheck nurses not a good signal. And
that's that's also not true. It's in this case, I believe, if
if our economy tanked and people miss paychecks, yes, I think I
think there's a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck to
paycheck because they're on the credit bandwagon and are
overextended and have been this way for decades. And this is
what the system is, you know, watch TV, y'all. I gotta buy
this stuff that I can't afford. Buy it with money. I don't have
go back to my job. Repeat Cycle. Yeah, I think that's real. Yes,
I do. Well, this is not a good signal. It's not it's not the
worst. Now let me give you another worst
apple. Can I whenever you're ready. I want to prove that it's
bullshit. These reports are bullshit. That's what I like to
do. Okay, let me finish this then. Democracy Now had a bunch
of clips from Wilbur Ross. Yes, that's exactly where I want to
go. Well, Ross comes on. And of course, she takes it from the
perspective. Why listen to this guy. He's worth $700 million.
What does he know about somebody getting a paycheck? So I want to
play the two clips. This is Dan denied democracy now versus the
bridge loan idea that he has.
Meanwhile, President Trump's Commerce Secretary
multimillionaire investor Wilbur Ross said Thursday, federal
workers should simply take out bridge loans until they get
paid. Ross was being questioned by CNBC anchor Andrew Ross
Sorkin,
there are reports that there are some federal workers who are
going to homeless shelters to get food?
Well, I know they are. And I don't really quite understand
why because as I mentioned before, the obligations that
they would undertake, say a borrowing from a bank or a
credit union, are in effect federally guaranteed.
I can't wait to start, I'm waiting for you to
start. And then she goes to number two, and instead of
saying, here's the three, I'll tell you what really bothers me
then you can play your clips. This play the second part where
all she does is just give Wilbur Ross crap for being a rich guy.
So
the 30 days of pay that some people will be out. There's no
real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against
it.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, whose net worth is estimated
around $700 million, also diminish the financial hardship
faced by unpaid federal workers
800,000 workers, if they never got their pay, which is not the
case, they will eventually get it. But if they never gotten it,
it's talking about a third of a percent on our GDP. So it's not
like it's a gigantic number overall.
All right now, she mocks him for being rich. And she goes on and
she thinks this is crazy. Now instead of doing that, if Ross
is right, and you can just get a guaranteed bridge loan, which I
guess a lot of people don't know what a bridge loan is. And they
probably don't go to a bank or I have no idea what the what the
problem is here. But instead of educating the public here if
you've lost your job, let me let us explain to you how you can go
to your bank and get this guarantee He's going to Ross
guaranteed federal bridge loan to keep you afloat. Instead of
coming on NBC or Yes, Democracy Now, or any of these other
stations and moaning and groaning like that one woman did
about she's gonna lose her house, and they're gonna lose
their cars, and they got nothing they can do, John and instead of
saying, well, that's not true. You can, you can do this and
we'll show you how No, no, they just ridiculed because there's
always some something to do with Trump. Yeah, I find that the
whole thing to be incredibly, it's not useful,
and you will really despise it. When I unveil the rest of
democracy now did exactly what Don Lemond does on CNN, I'll
just play a little bit he he had to clip about eight, the same
thing 800,000 Oh, he doesn't give a shit about these people.
And here's here he is about the loans lists.
There are reports that there are some federal workers who are
going to homeless shelters,
to get food and be fast forward, I know
they are and they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it.
That is
the most elite
out of touch thing that I've ever heard in my life, in all my
years, ever, on this earth. That is ever, ever insulting thing
that I've ever heard the most elite elitist, however you want
to put it thing that I've ever heard, I could not believe it. I
had to go back and say I gotta find this on the internet. Is
this is this true? Or hey, you folks who aren't getting paid,
just go take out a loan, take out a loan, here's what he's
saying, Okay, follow along with me. Take out a loan for the
money that you've earned the money that we owe you. Because
we really have no idea when you're going to get paid, even
though a lot of you are still on the job. So yeah, take out a
loan, pay interest, just to get the money that we owe you. And
the Commerce Secretary may know where you can get a loan because
it's departments Federal Credit Union is offering emergency
loans at almost 9% interest 9% According to The Washington
Post, okay. So it's generally the same story. What an elitist,
rich prick last night Saturday, I didn't clip it, because
without the visual doesn't work. But Kate McKinnon, whatever her
name is, now she's taken her her character and she did. Wilbur
Ross very well as a creepy elitist aihole which he does
come across. But it's disingenuous from Amy and from
Don and everybody, because it's only a part of what he said you
might be surprised he said a little bit more, and I did some
checking on it. Wilbur Ross was on CNBC. It's a business news
network. It's not the fast paced CNN, Fox News, MSNBC Democracy
Now War and Peace Report where everybody's already made for
television and gets the point out in 10 seconds. Wilbur Ross
said something very important. As a part of this suggestion,
Mr.
Secretary, many, many of these workers clearly need
the payment, fast forward a bit. There's three times now
then the risks.
Here we go. First of all, the banks and the credit union
should be making credit available to them. When you
think about it, these are basically government guaranteed
loans, because the government has committed, these folks will
get their back pay once this whole thing gets settled down.
So there really is not a good excuse, why there really should
be a liquidity crisis now true, that people might have to pay a
little bit of interest. But the idea that it's paycheck or zero
is not a really valid idea. There's no reason why some
institution wouldn't be willing to lend. And indeed, we've heard
tales of some of the government should
be put on the private sector. The private sector needs to step
up where the public sector can't.
No, but I'm saying is there have been ads run by a number of the
public sector, credit unions, which are a member organizations
of the people who work in the departments. Those have been
announced very, very low interest rate loans to bridge
people over the gap.
Oh, wait a minute, I guess Dawn and Amy didn't hear that part.
And I went and looked. And if you look for local news reports,
all across America, this is what you heard the
phrase living paycheck to paycheck is a stark reality for
many Americans, as 1000s of Ohioans are figuring out how to
pay their bills while their next pay day is uncertain. This is
from January 3 Here in the Miami Valley day or credit union is
offering assistance of their own to these impacted workers.
Preferably our members would have direct deposit coming in
here to the credit union very easy for us to look and see what
that dollar amount is, and then we can match a loan amount to
that direct deposit 0% interest for 30 days
direct deposit is not available. A current pay stub may be
required to get the loan. After 30 days prevailing interest
could begin to kick in, but Theobald says they will look at
their program if that becomes an issue. Right now. He says it is
mostly Department of Transportation employee seeking
assistance, but anticipates many more at the partial government
shutdown.
Now this is their own credit union called de air. Let's go to
San Diego. Let's just see if there was any issues there with
credit union
Well, Washington stalemates our phones have been ringing off the
hook things are busy for Cabrillo credit union. People
are scared but it's something they've dealt with before.
They've been through multiple furloughs. Multiple government
shutdowns over the years and the San Diego founded businesses
loaning government employees their paycheck value with no
interest until the shutdown is over federal employees. They
weren't expecting this. I mean, I
can play 18 of these clips, all the credit unions local news,
the chicken shit news, subverted this obfuscated. And they just
found either idiots or people who are willing participants to
cry. Whereas every single one of these credit unions, it's not a
familiar concept in the rest of the world go look at what a
credit union does. They're also part of these organizations
themselves.
It's very hard to work within any government operation. I can
say that as as someone who knows I was a member of the San
Francisco city workers credit union because you're if you're a
work government worker, there's a credit union attached to what
you do if you are in the armed forces. There's a credit union
attached to what you do. And these credit unions do what
these clips are telling. This is most
really mad about this, because they me and everyone they they
did not play everything the guy said.
Besides that, they did it was the Don Lemon one that was the
eye opener. First he mocked the whole idea of going to the bank
and I don't even care whether he's played the whole thing or
not. You can go to the bank and get bridge loans. It's not that
big of a deal. And then he emphasized the Washington Post
bull crap article. Oh, yeah, but it's nine Fang where they go
into payday loans. What kind of alone are we talking about here?
So that was a bull crap report. So these are these are blatant
lies by the big boys.
Yeah. And done on purpose. Purposefully I mean, okay, I
totally believe Don Lemon just looked at the clip just a one
little clip that everyone was passing around on social media
and obviously democracy now is no better just that clip just
make fun of the asshole old guy NBC Saturday Night Live make him
look like he's the like he's Death himself guy definitely
does not have a media presence that is very helpful to what is
going on here. But it's disingenuous and really just a
lie to say that people weren't you know couldn't get an just
couldn't get any money at all
car been to lose my house yes
bullshit.
And it was on NBC NBC
You say that like it means something anymore?
Well I did you have more reach than we do.
And I and I and I commend every single credit union I'd love
credit unions Hey banks
can do this to no bad love credit use I think credit unions
are better than banks I have not been argue that point. But these
this can be done by at a bank level if you have good
relationship with the bank, but a good way Don Lemon sees it
this is an elitist thing. Yeah, you're too stupid to go to a
bank. Well, how did you get your car? Well, you got your car
probably from JMac maybe you did it John. i
i I've the UFCU the University Federal Credit Union. I'm like
you know let me I don't I ran the air stream through there so
I don't really do that much business with them anymore. But
like you know, why don't I go take a look and see and yeah, lo
and behold they said it right there we can offer you zero
right in my in the bill or the the statement work this the
paper the statement, we can offer you 0% loan if you're if
you're if you're if you're furloughed or not getting a
check due to the shutdown. Contact us we'll be happy to
help you. So it is just a lie. And it doesn't matter because
that's just what will always think forever that will just be
that will be the truth from now on out. And it's too bad that
this little podcast doesn't have enough reach to let the world
know how really disgusting this reporting was. Across the board
write down the Washington Post.
Yeah, Well, none of it unexpected since it just seems
to be just all Trump hate. Yes. And they were not giving the
public actual information that's valuable
and your point is very valid because I know that's what your
point was. It's like instead of doing this whole What an asshole
what an elitist What a dick, you know? Yeah, do a little story
which local news was all over? We're talking three weeks ago,
they were already doing this. This has been in you can just
look it up. Go go to YouTube and local report after local report
with credit unions with their local guys and hey, we're gonna
help everybody out. Not a problem.
Ah.
So that's that.
I'm going to show much over Jody to no agenda. Imagine all the
people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun

the students in Brussels making the big protests Yeah, which we
played a little a few seconds ago but global you know,
bitching and moaning about climate change? They were all
bundled up Yeah, it's very cold freezing they're very
cold in Europe right now. Yeah, it's the polar vortex

No, no, it was something else. It was about like the if you
click on

click on no agenda stickers. That wasn't
the problem. I think it was some of the other programs we have
as a possibility because Pay Pal, they've done this to me a
couple of times it happens every few years. I'll go I'll go look
at all the links and see if they're still good. Pay Pal, it
will change you know, we want to change we have a different model
now for the way we we have the clicker balls to go takes it to
the donation page. We don't like it. We like this new way we
doing it and some new guy in there changed everything.
invalidated a bunch of really old, old that worked fine, old
links. So I'll go check them. I'll check them.
Yeah, please do. And there has been a chant one of our
producers, he kind of reminded me how we need to change this.
We have the mothership boarding pass for 3333 monthly
subscription. And it's always been a big pain in the ass
because the podcast, I'm sorry, you're right, the podcast
license, that's what it is. 3333 podcast license, it's been a
real pain in the ass to coordinate setting up the domain
names that looks like crap and it breaks and, and so this this
producer, you know, he's like, I want to get this from my an
office with his wife or his daughter. So this is misleading.
It says it be signed by Adam curry. And how come is not up
already. And like, you know, you're right. This is completely
misleading. Would you please create for me a beautiful design
podcast license that I can then print with the person's name and
sign it and send it off. It's much less hassle than anything
else. Well, okay. I think we think that's what we should what
we should do.
Well, we you know, you always buy the certificate papers.
Yeah, but I want the producers to do it. Because if we have big
talk here, you're like, oh, yeah, well,
we'll get we'll never do it. Exactly. So I
told him, I said, You're right. You're absolutely right. I'm
changing this thing. hook us up so I can do this and do it
properly. And we'll even go back and give everybody who has one
we'll give them an official sir. certificate Yeah, we need the
certificate paper needs to be printed. Now and then why do you
do calligraphy for the name?
Good font good calligraphy font.
I bet you the picture Tina was
gonna do calligraphy Duskull
Tina has taken some classes.
She doesn't want to do a bunch of licenses when a font will
work. I mean, we use font for the knighthood thing. Nobody
bitches about that. Okay.
Well then in that case, just have Eric do it. All right, and
we have to sign it dude. He's in charge of fortune.
You're right. We'll take care of it. Anyway, just wanted to that
was just a little point of order. Thank you, everybody.
Thank you. We're just trying to keep the value and the value
going always. And please remember us for our next show.
And that will be on Thursday. And I'm sure there'll be more
things that happen that we will be reporting on and pulling
apart and deconstructing for you because as you just heard, a lot
of it is disingenuous lies to vorak.org/in
a jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.

support of the no agenda show in the amount of $1,000 or more I'm
very proud to pronounce the K D with the following titles. Sir

here for you at the no agenda roundtable of the Knights and
Dames look at look at look at the size of the table. And how
many nights a dame's we have there is fantastic. So proud of
what you've done with this show. And our new Knights and Dames go
to no agenda nation.com/rings and Eric the shill. We'll get
the right rings off to you have they come in yet the new order?
I know he had them on order. Yeah, they've
been No, they haven't come in yet. It'd be it takes forever to
get these turned around just getting slower. Yeah, because
China you know,
China, China, China, China, China,
China. They'll come in they'll be in with the next week or two
this
see, had a couple things that were kind of interesting. Oh,
yeah, I wanna I want the 5g report. Now. Are you ready for
the 5g report? Sure. Okay. Well, first of all, we got a I don't
know if you saw this email. I forget which producers sent
this. But he it turns out PC Magazine is now it's whenever
they have a new story. They tweeted out and the tweet is PC
Magazine and Qualcomm say they're now the main sponsor. So
if you look at your emails, see PC mag with Qualcomm sponsored
here's a look at the four biggest changes to come for
smartphones and mobile devices. 5g is coming in 2019 and it's
gonna change your life. Just another data point and why
that same article appeared in Mashable, which they also own
now,
right, presented by Qualcomm who are the company when it comes to
5g radios company that is the company that
could be the downfall of Qualcomm.
Well, you know, I gotta tell you, we've been talking about
this you think it may not happen? I think it's we're too
late. I got a note from one of our producers in in Texas who's
in the biz, so to say, and all this went down in 2017. Austin
already has 5g transmitted now it's the AT and T version. What
Whoever the heck that means there's 500 in Dallas 300 in
Houston. It's already done. It's over. It's already exits
underway here. Okay, you got other problems in Berkeley. Here
is the report from 2017 Just before the vote was made, and
really the only thing that Austin was pushing back on is
how much money they would get per cell installed. That's the
only thing and when you were in session here, the legislation
the legislature, and it's in the whole town is filled with money.
People just walking around just doling out cash left and right.
So this is a report from 2017. So you kind of get a background
as to how long this has been playing
the future of wireless technology, especially for 5g
will be ran through little cell towers across cities known as
nodes. There aren't any up and running in Austin just yet, but
several 100 are expected after city officials came to an
agreement with major telecommunications companies in
October that agreement has Austin getting $1,500 per node
per year. That could change this legislature
is
weighing in. That's Adler, our fate mo Mayor
with considerable weight.
Mayor Adler is worried about a bill scheduled for a vote
Wednesday that could cap the fee at $250. For each device every
year losing big money for the city. Austin would also lose
some control about where these devices are placed on public
lands. Now the
legislature is stepping in and taking what is highly coveted
public space and turning it into cheap utility corridors.
So far, the bill has nearly unanimous support at
the Capitol. That's to give our customers an effortless wireless
customer experience AT and
T is a major supporter of the bill and says it's necessary to
bring tomorrow's technology to Texas quickly.
Things like 4k video, the Internet of Things.
Smart Cities, they all start with 5g It's a
fight over money and who calls the shots for 5g Coming to
cities in Texas.
So that was 2017. The bill passed, of course,
the 22nd. Do I was listening to that it sounded like they were
gonna get $1,500 per node and then went down to 250. And
that's what passed.
No, that's not what passed. It passed at 750.
But that was 1500 Oh, that's
that's that's what they wanted. The lobbyists wouldn't look the
lobbyists paid everyone off to move it down. Oh, that's
what you do. Yeah, that's
how you so it wasn't about is it safe? Should we have it? Is it
effective? Is it good for us now? Just how much money is the
city going to get? That was the only question the 20,000
satellites to date. These are the 5g satellites. Let me just
tell you what's already been deployed. SpaceX has deployed
half of their 12,000 satellite allotment one Webb is looking at
45 4560 Boeing is just under 3000 and spire global Oh, I
don't know who that is. They're looking at 972 Five g 300. This
thing 300 Watts, I find that hard to believe that that's what
they're gonna be pumping in from out of space on what power
they're going to use for that. But I don't know, we went to the
moon. Tom Wheeler, who was then FCC chairman in 2016, did a
speech which I cannot find the original from, sadly, because
what he says, Now this is three years ago, what he says in this
speech at the National Press Club, which is why I find it
weird, I can't find the original. And it has some music
mixed in it, which is pisses me off. But it's it's pretty much
unedited, as far as I can tell. But even the things he's saying
are clear enough. This is what he was touting to the Press Club
in 2016. That's the that's the people in DC who are supposed to
report on these things.
The big game changer is that 5g will use much higher frequency
bands than previously thought viable for mobile broadband and
other applications. Such millimeter wave signals have
physical properties that are both a limitation and a
strength. They tend to travel best in narrow and straight
lines. And they do not go through physical objects as
well. But brilliant engineers have developed new antennas that
can aim and amplify signals. Now to make this work. Five the 5g
build out is going to be very infrastructure intensive,
requiring massive deployment of small cells, I'm confident that
they will lead to a cornucopia of unanticipated innovative
uses, and will generate 10s of billions of dollars in economic
activity. And that's damn important, because it means that
US companies will be the first out of the gate too, and that is
why 5g is a national priority and stay out of the way of
technological development. Unlike some countries, we do not
believe that we should spend the next couple of years studying
what 5g should be, how it should operate, or if it's safe, the
future has a way of inventing itself. Turning innovators loose
is far preferable to expecting committees and regulators. To
define the future. We won't wait for the standards. We're already
seeing industry standard up to seize this opportunity, Verizon
and AT and T tell us they'll begin deploying 5g trials in
2017. And the first commercial deployments they're talking
about are expected in 2020. And we're not done. As part of our
July 14 action. We also plan to ask for comments on opening up
other high frequency bands. Many of the high frequency bands that
we will make available for 5g currently have some satellite
users as well as Defense Department applications, or at
least the possibility of future satellite and defense users.
This means sharing will be required between satellite and
terrestrial wireless, an issue that is especially relevant the
28 gigahertz band. But if anyone tells you that they know the
details of what 5g is going to become run the other way. If
something can be connected, it will be connected hundreds of
billions of microchips connected in products from pill bottles.
To plant waterers we must reject the notion that the 5g future
will be the sole province of urban areas. The 5g revolution
will touch all corners of our country, more antenna siting
decisions by local governments and tightened our shot clock for
siting application reviews, America's local governments will
play an important role in determining how we fulfill this
national priority, you can be sure of only one thing, the
biggest Internet of Things application has yet to be
imagined.
That was the FCC chairman at the time. I think his words are
pretty clear. And all these municipalities, all they were
thinking about is, can I get the 1500 instead of the 250 when
thinking about anything else, and I had forgotten about the
the capability of, of RFID you know, to connect at short
distance to these 5g spots, which will be everywhere. And it
truly becomes a kind of cool spy grid. It's quite mind boggling
and that in that aspect, I think he's right. But to say that this
is not happening or that some reports of your home value going
down or health I don't I think it's unstoppable. That video you
and I watched over the weekend. This is this is what it is. This
is the this is the this is the banking the future on this of
the money expansion. Capitalist system of the liberal bankers is
this. That's that's what they put on climate change. Kind of
doesn't work. Stupid Trump. But even Trump is dumb enough to
fall for this.
Well, that dad I will say yes, Will anybody generally speaking
that generation is going to be too dumb to realize the issues
with this technology. But okay, we'll see. I I have high hopes
that the there'll be enough, there'll be enough action. And
I'm seeing a lot more action on this. And I've seen a lot of
different things. squeaky wheels. And I think a lot of its
going to come from California. Yeah, probably. I'm Texas
apparently. Just knuckles under to Annie, you know to bid. Some
guy comes in. Hey, this guy came in and he offered me 10 cents to
do this outtake it is better. No 10 cents.
Wow, that was really quite awesome of you to do there in
California. Now I'm hoping for an earthquake so you all can
die.
But you can do what wish for all you want. But I got my 10 cents.
I hope the fires reach your house. DeVore AK racist, man.
Just racist. Hey, is white privilege. Oh, I'm sorry. Do we
rednecks down here? Yeah, we are white net white neck privilege.
Stop it. I'm gonna bet you all find some some 5g in Berkeley.
You know, it's already happening
today. Yeah. Okay, the last place to do 5g
That it's but it's common. It's common. And you know, and
they're gonna place it at your house first because they d
platformed. You over your negative article. Yeah, what am
I gonna do? So the first thing we're gonna do is say, hey,
divorce. Look out the window baby. You won't see mudflats.
You'll just see this beam of light coming into the soft,
soft, soft skin under your eyes.
at all or to get to tin foil, so that will help actually. I just
have an oddball clip. Okay. Well actually, I'll say this is the
end of the show,
well then, let me just play. I have a background if we want to
listen to it, but we didn't get to kind of an important part of
Brexit. Even though Brexit isn't really the story, but France and
Germany signed the Treaty of Aachen. Now two weeks ago, and
the Treaty of Aachen, I could
actually take the city a CH, en, yes. See,
that's a city the Treaty of Aachen? Yes, I know. It's the
city. The Treaty of Aachen, and this treaty brings the Germans
and French even closer together, which is kind of what the whole
Brexit thing if we don't want the whole idea of the European
Union, you know, it's like we really don't want people pairing
off like Germany and France. Being all buddy buddy, and it
specifically states they will do more to share military
resources. I mean, and very little coverage. I mean, you got
coverage in Europe. And if you want to have a two minute
backgrounder, which is kind of interesting, just from a
historical
all during this process, they drilled a nice underground
tunnel so they can invade Britain. Quickly,
quickly. Easily. You want to hear this little background or
two minutes. It's a history lesson.
Okay, here we go. France's President Emmanuel Macron is
really speaking German and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel
is speaking French. During that mutual visit to the French
German youth center last summer, they were clearly among friends,
but it wasn't always this way. Shortly before the end of the
Second World War, French soldiers moved into southern
Germany this after Hitler had occupied and humiliated France
for years, German soldiers became French prisoners of war,
and it looked as if these tried and true enemies would always be
at war with each other. But the head of the French military
troops was Charles de Gaulle and 10 years later, when he became
president. He had great plans while at his private country
residence column beylikduzu uglies. He shook hands with West
Germany's postwar Chancellor Karnad adenoma, and in 1963, the
two of them signed the LSE treaty of German French
friendship. President de Gaulle wanted to join forces with his
German partner to become a world power and 18 years after the end
of the Nazis, the young West German Republic wanted to return
to the community of nations and renew friendships with their
European Democratic allies. The West German celebrated the key
to the newfound friendship was young people who were untouched
by the hatred that motivated their parents, the German French
Youth Project was founded, and even today it brings together
more than 9 million members from both countries through its
exchange program. The chancellor and the president planned a
common political agenda in Europe and the world. Good
friends validate us God Deathstar and Helmut Schmidt
found a coalition of the seven most important industrial
nations in the world, the g7. In 1984, President Francois Michel
Hall and Chancellor Helmut Kohl shook hands and very close to
the graves of the First World War, they wanted to show Europe
that the worst enemies had become closest allies. Today,
Germany and France continue to meet daily to discuss European
policy. They even cooperate militarily on weapons programs
and in conflict zones, such as in Mali. It's an alliance that
80 years ago, nobody would have thought possible.
And even though the French don't donate to the show, I will give
you some advice. I would lock up my bike. Just saying I'm from
Holland. Yeah, I don't know. We got some experience with that.
So
but the Dutch and the Germans always good buddies until that
war broke out. And they stole the bikes. Yeah,
they still they're still looking for the bike pack. I know.
They're going
after and Frank. Oh, God, don't
get me started. There we go on.
Know that. I had that.
I thought maybe we have a pretty eclectic mix of end of show
mixes. So we can do one or two more clips, and we'll get into
that. And I do want to get
I'll go I got a couple of clips, but I'm going to just go with
the one. And it's going to be this is Michael Bennett. He's
from Colorado. And he is Senator. And he made say he had
to go on on the Senate floor to bitch and moan about Trump. Oh,
I heard this. Yeah. He was on there for 20 minutes was like a
filibuster.
Republican Democrat. Sorry. You see a Republican, Democrat,
okay.
And I think he was drunk.
I don't know about that. drunk on power, maybe?
Well, let's play this clip.
This idea that he was going to build a medieval wall across the
southern border of Texas. Take it from the farmers and ranchers
that were there. and have the Mexicans tape word isn't true.
That's why we're here.
And I couldn't listen to MSNBC most of the time during the day
just it's just the most entertaining thing you can
imagine. And he did some interviews. And they were like,
Oh, God on a man like oz gray rock, I mean, you,
you really spoke to the bow or the Power Man, it was really
fantastic.
I found the will heard clip that I was missing on the last show.
Okay, about about the smart wall. And let's listen to this.
When we talk about the physical barriers, like I have, as you
said, I've 800 miles of wall border, excuse me. And I've
always said, building a wall from sea to shining sea doesn't
make sense. But in certain places, it does make sense. So
whether it's urban, to urban contact, we need technology, we
need to be looking at all 2000 miles of border at the same
time, the only way you can do that as technology, we need
additional manpower. And so there's already a bill that most
Democrats have voted on. It's called the secure fax, the
Secure Fence Act, and it was amended. Two years later in that
amended bill, all the leadership of the Democratic leadership
right now have already voted on it. And there's been much
publicized about how Senator Obama at the time and Senator
clean at the time had voted for this, this should be the
framework. And there's there's much physical barriers that
weren't completed and that these Dems already voted on that that
should be the framework from which we are looking have the
technology to make sure we double down on our ports of
entry. As we should know everything that goes back and
forth across our border, the head of department of homeland
security should be able to say I want to know what's going at
mile marker 36. And this should be able to pop up. I'm not
describing some futuristic Star Trek episode, I'm describing
that this is technology that exists today that we shouldn't
be using on the border. We're not right now. But there's
programs that are in existence that to do that, but they can't
move forward because we're in the middle of a shutdown. Look,
I spent almost a decade as an undercover officer in the CIA. I
was the guy in the back alleys, collecting intelligence on
threats to our homeland.
Wow, that's not how most spooks I know, talk a man I was that
guy in the dark alley, like protecting you from the
terrorists. Sounds a little little too much.
Bull crap are in the CIA. I was the guy in the back alleys,
collecting intelligence on threats to our homeland. I did
this in dangerous places like Pakistan and Afghanistan. I was
in India chasing bad guys, terrorists, al Qaeda, you name
it, stopping nuclear weapons proliferators. This is what I
did. And when you look, we got to remember the drug trafficking
organizations and kingpin human smugglers that are operating in
Mexico, they don't have to worry about government shutdowns.
They're make the they're making $67 billion a year in the United
States. And guess what the US intelligence budget is only 61
billion. So we have to have a look at every mile of border and
make sure we're using the right tools for that part of the
border. Because every mile is different. That's something I've
seen having the largest, largest amount of border, anyone in
Congress,
I think that I think herd knows what's coming down the pike. And
I think it'll be some some version of the combo. And one of
our producers who wanted to remain anonymous, has actually
worked with these fiber optic listening cables. He says
they're really incredibly good. You can hear you can pinpoint
exactly, but it's vibrations, it picks up all kinds of stuff. He
says it's very, very good. The problem is it doesn't stop
anybody just alert you to something that's happening. It
somehow you know, and Trump is kind of simplistic in that way.
He's like now if you run and you hit the wall, it stops you. But
I think heards basic ideas probably what's the what's
coming down because it we're hearing more and more like Well,
wait a minute, you know, the Democrats actually voted for
this stuff. You know, this
has all been play. I don't know what to exploit it.
Orange Man butthead. They aren't. It is being exploited to
make orange MAN look better
for you, man, man. All right. Yes. All right,
everybody. I think we've earned our stripes for today. I want to
thank Danny loose, Tom Starkweather and Alex who helped
them out gallop. Chris Wilson, of course for the end of show
mixes a fantastic lineup today. And I'll play the love hate
Trump's on the next too many clips on the next show. And

No one should ever underestimate the speaker as Donald Trump.
She said that she was going to dog walk me and you know viewers
can look up on Urban Dictionary what dog walking someone means
but to put it simply, is to severely beat somebody up.
