report I saw he had no pants on. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, March 20 2016. time once again for your Gitmo nation
media assassination episode 809.
This is no agenda
following in the south bliss and broadcasting live from the
Capitol. The drone star stayed here in FEMA Region six in the
morning every Monday. I'm Adam curry,
go south by here from the Pacific Northwest. I'm John C.
Dvorak. Hill.
Actually, I wanted to say post South
by bliss because it's over. It is well I'm not in the Pacific
Northwest either.
Today's the last day last day it was mayhem
was not over. If today's the last day it's
yes, everyone's leaving leaving today. I'm gonna leave last
night was mayhem. The all the hip hoppers were in town? What a
mess. These guys on the street everywhere and we're filming
videos you know doing
I love watching this. Did you go out and roam around? Yeah,
Tina and I went out to get a little do some little grocery
shopping just it was it was insane. It really was. Crazy
Town. But it's over. Over Over.
Well, so you had the summary the wrap up the wrap. Yeah, the
wrap is thank God. No, I mean some of that. Actually, what I
will say was completely different from last year but
previous years that I've been here during South by
comparatively little people on the street or view people even
though it was pretty crazy. Yesterday, we have so many new
buildings and hotels and venues indoor and comparatively less
parking lots that could be rented out for the big companies
like to put up their their big blow up things and stages on
parking lots, it was pretty much all indoors this year. Which I
think made it bearable for the inhabitants of Austin.
Oh, well, that's a plus. A lot of people didn't go to that you
should go there, especially the nerds from some of these Silicon
Valley companies and then they go to South by Southwest to kick
up their heels.
Well, it was also odd. There are a number of people who I
definitely know who are in Austin. People from former
companies have worked for me. No one reached out to me. I don't
know if that's good or bad or good. Are you good or bad? Yeah,
I guess I'm Curry's a podcast who gives a crap?
Yeah. But she do a What's that guy doing?
He can do? Yeah. What's he doing?
What's he up to you? And have you heard from him? He's
podcasting. Man.
Is podcasting.
What a loser.
Oh, you know what? I know that guy. That's what he's always
wanted to do.
I always wanted to be a podcaster. Yes.
Always wanted to do that. Well, good for him. I want to get a
hold of him while we're here and give me a get a beer.
That's true. That guy. Even Jason Calacanis, but he did
reach out to me. He didn't know. Yeah. Hey, let's go have a great
lunch with barbecue. Everyone's got a Franklin's barbecue and
stand in line. Ya know, ya know, my grandparents didn't fight in
the Second World War for me to stand in line for food is not
going to happen.
Yeah, so if Franklin's
is popular, but Jason is funny, but
it's not like the only good barbecue barbecue is a row. It's
got a wide range of characteristics. And there it's
almost like, you know, I think we talked about this once before
somebody mentioned it to me, he says, if you take the Make a
list of the 100 greatest guitar players, yeah, the guy at the
bottom of the list isn't really that much different than the guy
that top there's a little different. Yeah, these guys
Yeah, that's got more style, or it's got something going on or,
or the barbecues got some coleslaw on it.
It's comparable to the EOC D list of countries that are the
most educated.
Right? Which by the way, reminds me of the thing, like the
people at the bottom of the list, you know, like the US is
somewhere number 20. It's not like we're complete, you know,
47 comatose at 47. But the difference is it's small
percentages. It's not like a huge and
so the difference between an F barbecue and the second best
barbecue in town where the snow lines is probably minor right.
Now, that reminds me of something we talked about in the
last show. I just wanted to get it right I still remember it. I
want to get get get it off my chest. Yeah, sure. You know,
this this survey, the UN survey of happiest people.
Yes. The one where Denmark came out as the happiest country out
there. They Happy Happy, happy, happy Denmark is based
on a bunch of criteria. But it's not based on actually asking
anybody if they're happy.
What? Yeah, well, how do they determine if people are somebody
is you got an education system for health care costs Living
police police efficiency all these things you
say let me ask you in the criteria did they add in the
consumption of SSRI not prescription drugs? Oh hmm
so anyway so it'd be a coincidence so they
assign a number to each of those factors like oh you have free
health care boom you got a number there you got to free
school boom another number and that all adds up to making
people happy when they just look at the numbers of those
government provided facilities is that the idea?
Yeah. This is the this is classic like kind of fascist
talk about fascist yeah United Nations system. You are assigned
a number you have this this and this your you have to be happy
you must be because we've determined that this is
important. They it's not like you know, like for example, it
seems to me it'd be happier France just because of the food.
Especially compared No offence Danes, especially compared to
that in March to that it does Denmark have the brown cheese
that Denmark or does that fit?
I don't know what they've got, but they do not have they're not
at gourmet country like France. I'd
say this isn't outrage. This is an outrage. Yeah, I
was thinking about it like yesterday. I don't know why it
came to minus Wait a minute. How are they the happiest? Ask them
if they're happy. That's what I was. Because I was thinking
about how every time I go to Denmark, they bitch a lot.
They're always complaining about the taxes especially you don't
want to buy a Mercedes you got to pay more in taxes
is a horrible travesty. Well, this UN the UN is it's off its
rocker John, because along with this, you know, the happiness
quotient, which we now know, thank you for doing that. G
mainstream, but wouldn't have been that hard to just look at
how they compiled the report.
But but when I listened to the reports on television, they all
said they said they kind of said well, how they would compile the
report. But they never actually questioned how stupid this is.
Well, I can tell I have a comparison to show you how
stupid it is as a part of this happiness. Push it was United
Nations Correct? Yes. This was all in coordination apparently
to celebrate the International Day of Happiness.
Where they put the get together report that must have cost
$50,000 to compile. Oh, no, wait, Ed, if you shouldn't see
it's huge. But this it is it is just it's for some bullcrap.
It's even
worse. So what did they do to celebrate the International Day
of Happiness along with this list of happiest countries on
earth? They put together a little promotion, John Bunky.
Moon himself, the Secretary General
of Mr. Happy and we call him Mr. Happy.
Well, we're so thrilled because the UN and Sony are joining
together to celebrate the International Day of Happiness.
And the campaign is called Angry Birds or Happy Planet. And it's
going to inspire everyone to take action on climate change.
So there is the Secretary General change. Happy birds,
there is the Secretary General of the United Nations Bunky Moon
standing next to a huge red angry bird.
Yeah, that's the classic one, the red one. Yes.
And the idea is to do things in the world to make people happy.
So angry bird changes from red to green. Stay tuned. Here's
bunkie himself read as
the Secretary General of the United Nations. I'm happy to
appoint you as our honorary ambassador for green. Dawn.
Thank you.
Your Honour ambassador for Green For Green? Yes. Okay. Now, as a
part of this, oh, it gets better. As a part of this. We
have the actors who voice the birds in the movie room. And
this is a permissive joint promotion with Sony. So we have
adjacent to dicuss Josh Gad and Maya Rudolph. Now this is it is
so embarrassing. Of course, these guys got paid a lot of
money to do this. So they're in on it, they have to do
especially to daucus. If you can tell the guys like, man, if it
wasn't for the $10 million, I would so not be here. So they
have to go up on the general stage at the General Assembly of
the United Nations. You know, where we had Obama? We've had
the Gaddafi was there before we killed him. Everybody you know,
the one we are you go the marble background, you know what I'm
saying? The marble background. And now they're going to explain
based on the script, mind blowing based on the script,
they're going to explain to the elites of the world how this
works. The Angry Birds are going to use their huge popularity to
help the United Nations in their Efforts to take action against
climate change.
Now I know climate change makes me angry. You know? What about
your
finger? Yeah, I mean I'm I'm pretty furious about global
warming to be honest.
Me too.
They're reading the scripts right?
Let's ask these guys for their help so we can commerce up stand
because I'm really angry. Yes really angry red Go Green by
using your social media to encourage everyone to conserve
water. Bring your own reusable bag. Oh,
you have to tweet these ideas to change red angry birds to green
and free Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, let's go by miss something very
important. What else can we do? We can do good things. Yeah, you
can. For your garden. That's true. Well, bunch of trees, a
forest, if
you will. You can walk you can cycle you can use public
transportation those, reduce, reuse, recycle.
Carry a reusable water bottle. That's true.
I do a reusable water bottle.
Everybody. And now they're doing a huge selfie with the whole GN
assembly in the background.
Oh man.
How bad is that? What a waste of money. What a waste of time and
how demeaning it for all for us.
That's worth it that part. But what is the
point? So is the idea to say and be like Denmark? Are we going to
get those things? This is Denmark. Denmark is a happy
country be like Denmark and get those memes everywhere? No, this
thing is disturbing.
Yeah, more than a little. Alright, let's see. What do we
got today? Have we got a lot of there's something completely
different. You know, I
did you do something completely different, please.
I want to do first. Well, now we can get to that later. I'm
trying to think what might be a good way to start the show
besides this. Thank you. We may have peaked. I'm done. peaked.
Oh, yeah. You know, I saw I was watching the exit ramp of one of
the Trump giant Trump's speeches which are these cutting short
now? Yeah. But the thing was he I, we've we've had maybe they've
been listening to us because you know,
no, no, he hasn't now but I have evidence to the contrary. But
okay.
Well, okay. But you are very critical. The music selection.
Yeah, it's very critical is spinning dancer and Elton John's
at the end of the thing. You can't always get what you want.
Yeah. Well, they've dropped you finally. You they've dropped you
can't I don't know what's the beginnings like but they dropped
at the end. You can't always get what you want. And they've
they've finally come up with they got one of those sports
anthems. So play this Trump's new theme. Here's how he goes
out. Everybody go vote. Go vote. Y'all ready for this? Is there
more on this book?
Ready for this? Yeah. Cool. Yeah, get hyped up everybody.
Yeah, that's a huge improvement. Over You can't always get what
you want. Somebody fighting wake up and say, Hey, did you realise
how insulting this song is that we go out on Yeah.
The so I thought you were gonna go a little different there.
We've had we've had the curry Devorah Consulting Group has had
a lot of different pieces of advice for the presidential
hopefuls. And Trump really blew it. And I think it'd be out. I
think he also may be losing it a little. Just a tad.
Then you're saying we see 70? You know, so you can have senior
moments. Yeah.
But this is not a senior moment. If it's two clips in one, this
is the protester now this was rather interesting, what took
place. And there's some some dirty tricks going on again.
There was a protester, and the guy put on a Ku Klux Klan hood.
And I was like, oh, Trump. So Trump turns around and starts
yelling at this guy, get him out. He's disgraceful. He
commits Trump convinced the ultimate sin and you'll hear
that in a moment, my ultimate sin. And then some guy punches
him as this protest is being led out. Now what was interesting,
and you may not see a lot of this on the mainstream. The guy
who punched the K K K so called K K. K. protester out was black,
a black Trump supporter. So the narrative is kind of confusing
now. How do we how do we do this? There was a black Trump
supporter, How was that possible? Now if you go look at
the New York Daily News Today, I should have given you the link
actually,
if you know the New York Daily News Of course is the biggest
Trump haters. They're the ones who call him a clown when he
first announced with a picture with the big red nose, they're
the ones who they just Zucker. Was it Zuckerman who runs that
thing? He used to be on
more Zucker or something more, more more. In your Skype window.
I'm sending you this link. I just want you to take a look and
you tell me what you see in these pictures. Tell me what you
see. Just if you saw the video and if you saw the video of this
guy punching in the K K K guy out Did you see this? No, I
didn't I was on some other track. Okay.
Well then you may not notice what the New York Daily News has
done here. But do you have that link? Are you looking at it?
Protests or Sucker Punch de
la now look at look at this first picture.
The guy in the red white and blue flag
that's the protester and then the guy next to him is that he's
you can see he's throwing that punch. What's interesting,
left to a left straight left
map. This they have done the guy in the video is twice as black
as the guy in these pictures. They have lightened him up in
this photo. And this is the guy who punches out the kk k
protests or is black.
Not Brown. Lighten him out to just so it's not so noticeable.
That's that is the accusation I'm putting on him. Yeah. Well,
that'd be the Daily
News. Unbelievable. Effective picture lower where he's on top
looks a stamp and the guy
Yeah. Which I think he did. I think he did. Yeah.
He doesn't, you know, he's not. Yeah, he's just black ish.
Now. Well, you you look at the video, and you'll see that it's
he is, however it went in their production process. The guy on
the video is twice as dark as the guy in this and
you know, they probably like, it's very easy to do. And you
know, they do that stuff on these newspapers nowadays. In
fact, the thing that I pushed out on Twitter was that that
crazy new technology where they can they can make you look like
you're saying, Oh, yes,
I saw the Dow that's quite before we talk about that. Now
here's 30 seconds is two quotes first, Trump saying I get this
guy out. And I don't think I've seen any news reports saying it
was a black Trump fan supporter who was kicking this guy and you
can understand if there's a black guy in that guy's town kk
k, he may get a little angry. But here's Trump making a huge
mistake.
That is a disgusting guy puts a Klu Klux Klan.
There's the mistake I cannot believe of all the people said
Klu Klux Klan. What a moron Klux Klan.
Oh, I find that minor I didn't even notice. Yeah, but it's
but I've been harping on it. And here it is Trump it
on. He thinks he's cute. He's a disgusting guy. That is a
disgusting guy. Clearly discussed and now
wait for the the evidence. I believe Trump is losing
a big wheel. Big Wheel. So my daughter Ivanka, my wife,
Melania. They say, please now act a little more presidential.
I said I can't until I finished my victory. Presidential
gotta have victory. That's a man losing it. That's a man losing
it. He's lost. He better calm down. He really better calm
down.
Well, I mean, they're throwing everything they can add him.
Oh, man, it's, I have if you have a couple of things to talk
about, because I do have a bit of a package I want to go
through. So if you can,
I want to say just as we do this, as we've gone into it just
now we we talked about this in the last postmortem and we have
the Trump dialogue has got to be minimised for on this show
specifically. And But meanwhile, we go right into it again, it's
very difficult to do I want to apologise because there's some
people to think that we're talking about Trump too much.
But this is like the big news item anyway. And this isn't the
world
born world leaders are calling this guy Hitler. How can this
not be the number one news story?
Yeah, so this is good stuff. And it's entertaining. And it gives
us the opportunity to really deconstruct the mainstream media
because we can see the the kind of
what's done. Yeah, it's happening. Ly how forwarded it
is. Now I have something that may help everybody. But I don't
know if you saw this. This isn't a recording from 1988. And this
is this point
around. But I wanted to make one comment to you because you're
not getting obviously people listen to the show can't see
this. But this is a recording of the I know what you've got. It's
the recording expenses. 1988. The recording of Oprah Yep.
Interviewing Trump back then. And it was when that was during
the Dukakis race. And I think that was I believe so. Yeah. And
what I found interesting wasn't Trump so much, even though it
looks like the same guys.
He's saying the exact exactly the same stuff. Yeah.
It's very funny how consistent he is. But what I found
fascinating was Oprah had not become Oprah
yet. Right? She was. Yeah, good point.
She was this kind of this nervous, demure. Yeah, kind of
dim. You're not lacking self, you know, the projected self
confidence that she now has was, it was interesting to watch her
because she was just not a normal person. She wasn't
Oprah, also an audience that was just listening and nodding and
continuing. There was no one was freaking out about him. And of
course, trouble a good back then. A good looking guy. clean
cars, actually,
even when he was in his college years, I think is when he was I
think, over time, it's gotten more squinty.
Yeah. But yeah, that happens. That happens anyway. It's worth
listening to. And not like the YouTube video description
claims. Oh, it doesn't blow you away. No, but you Oh, no, I
didn't blow me away. But I thought I'd slow anyone away,
put into context of what he's saying today is exactly the
same. You took
out a full page ad in major US newspapers last year criticising
US foreign policy, what would you do differently, though,
I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the enemies
you can talk to so easily, I'd make our allies pay their fair
share. We're a debtor nation, something's going to happen over
the next number of years with this country, because you can't
keep going on losing 200 billion. And yet we let Japan
come in and dump everything right into our markets. And it's
not free trade. If you ever go to Japan right now and try to
sell something, forget about it or just forget about it. It's
almost impossible. They don't have laws against it. They just
make it impossible. They come over here, they sell their cars,
their VCRs they knock the hell out of our company car. Hey, I
have tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean, you can
respect somebody that's beaten the hell out of you. But they
are beating the hell out of this country. Kuwait. They live like
kings, the poorest person in Kuwait, they live like kings.
And yet they're not paying we make it possible for them to
sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us 25% Of what they're
making? It's a joke.
This sounds like political presidential talk to me. And I
know people have talked to you about whether or not you want to
run, would you? Would you ever?
Probably not. But I do get tired of seeing the country ripped,
why would you not? I just don't think I really have the
inclination to do it. I love what I'm doing. I really like it
also doesn't pay as well.
But you know, I probably wouldn't, but I do get tired of
seeing what's happening with this country. And if it got so
bad, I would never want to rule it out totally. Because I really
am tired of seeing what's happening with this country, how
we're how we're really making other people live like kings.
And we're not
what what do you think of this year's presidential race? The
way it's shaping up? Well, it's gonna
be big was this the Dukakis race? You think?
Yeah, it was our caucus. Very interesting. I think. I think
that probably George Bush has an advantage in terms of the
election, I think he's got like that little edge in terms of the
incumbency, etc, etc. But I think Jesse Jackson's done
himself very proud. I think Michael Dukakis has done one
hell of a job. And George Bush has done a hell of a job. You
know, he they went in there sort of a semi underdogs, including
George Bush, and they've all come out. I think people that
are around all three of those candidates can be very proud of
the jobs they've done.
You've said, though, that if you did run for president, you
believe you'd win?
Well, I don't know. I think I'd when I tell you what, I wouldn't
go into lose. I've never gone into losing my life. And if I
did decide to do it, I think I'd be inclined, I would say that I
would have a hell of a chance of winning, because I think people
I don't know how your audience feels. But I think people are
tired of seeing the United States ripped off. And I can't
promise you everything. But I can tell you one thing, this
country would make one hell of a lot of money from those people
that for 25 years have taken advantage. It wouldn't be the
way it's been believed me.
Not much to say other than it's pretty consistent.
Yeah, very consistent. Guy. When I saw that thing, I felt the
same way. I was like, huh, but he's gonna
be he's so far beyond the point of no return. He has to go all
out all the way.
Well, let's listen to some in the end that analysis. And we're
also want to mention, there's a couple of things in play. And
there was a clip I didn't plan the last year I do have it lined
up for today, which people are unaware of because they keep
talking about doing do third party and all the rest of it,
and play the loser law clip. So people at least know this much
the primaries, closed primaries, that elevates and sore loser
laws. I mean, if you lose your primary, you can run in the
general election. States
explain what you mean by that.
So in 46 states, if you if you were running against me in a
primary for whatever party, you might be far more popular in the
state or in the congressional district. But if I beat you,
even if only 25 people showed up, you can't run to the general
election. And so I mean, you talked about democracy You know,
we don't have one in our political system. And the result
of it is that people are who shows up, the more extreme, the
more ideological.
The interesting, so he can't and
then we have rule 40, which is another little element that
which I don't have tried to look it up here in the background,
but rule 40 is a Republican Party rule about conventions,
that you cannot go into a to a convention that is going to be
disputed. You cannot be nominated to be the president,
or to be the presidential candidate. Unless you have
gotten x percentage of so many states. You just you're just
knocked out of it. And it just called the rule 40 was put in
place in 2012. Is that That's a federal election rule. No, no,
this is the Republican Party.
Okay. We just need to rule. So we just need to step back for
one
rules for the convention. This is one of their rules. I was
just wondering,
we didn't step back for one second, I still don't think
international producers are understanding that all of this
that you're seeing right now has nothing to do with the actual
election. These so called primaries and elections. It's
theatre, it's PR its promotion. It really has nothing to do with
giving the people what they want, according to the rules.
Yeah, there's rules involved. So they put this rule in place. I
think the screw one of the candidates, and I can't remember
which one but Ron Paul is Ron Paul. They did it too. I think
it was the Ron Paul. Yeah. Right. Changing the news about
this, because he's gloating over the fact that in the back rooms
as we speak, yeah. They're trying to get rid of this rule.
Yeah, right now,
this was the rule change they did when Boehner came out and
said, All in favour, say aye. Aye. All against say nay and the
nays were clearly louder. And it was even in the teleprompter.
When he said all the eyes have it, the rule is adopted.
Right. I remember that.
Yeah. And they can do that. That is another thing. That has
nothing to do with with the election process. The United
States other than what we've been trained to believe, is
somehow you get some choice. So far, this has nothing to do with
real election. These
are clubs why this is so fascinating. And we have so much
fun with it. Yes, these
are clubs and the club can have any rule it wants. But some
things remain the same. We have that third party run with Ross
Perot and he dropped out very quickly. Gee, I wonder how
they're going to work on Trump. And that a campaign 2016
and new this morning the Secret Service, FBI and New York Police
Department are investigating what sources tell CBS News is a
threatening piece of mail sent to one of Donald Trump's sons.
The mail was sent to Eric Trump's Manhattan residence at
100 Central Park South, also known as Trump Park East. A
source close to the investigation says that the
letter had a Massachusetts postmark and threatened harm to
Donald Trump's children. If he doesn't drop out of the race.
The envelope also reportedly contain suspicious white powder
that preliminary tests say is not hazardous.
It's an old favourite, the white powder. It's such a
favourite way ABC. They actually added a little more to the
story. Kind of interesting. He went on to play the How is this
not too long, you can but this ABC does an excellent job of
wrapping stories with a big package. They run a little long,
but they really cover everything and they they had a and then of
course he had that llamas guy who's who's yelling llamas? is
Yama Yama. Whoa, Yama is yeah, the is always yelling, yelling.
Yes. Play that to Trump under attack from all sides tonight.
Trump's personal information reportedly half the FBI now
investigating a threat also sent to his son. And all of this as a
growing number of mainstream Republicans organised against
him. Mitt Romney tonight with his new strategy. ABCs Tom Yamas
from Florida.
Tonight, Donald Trump fending off attacks from two very
different forces, the Republican establishment and international
hackers
creating citizens of God the
FBI and secret service now investigating claims the hacker
group Anonymous posted Trump's social security number and cell
phone information. We are very serious about stopping any
proposed Fourth Reich by the fascist Donald
Trump.
This essay I think that's a different anonymous video than
the one we played. Yeah, interesting. Interesting.
Trump's son Eric also receiving threats. A letter containing
suspicious white powder delivered to his New York
apartment to powder turning out to be harmless, but the letter
frightening.
I'd love to know what it was just for once harmless harm,
quote.
If your father does not drop out of the race, the next envelope
won't be fake. No, no. In a closed door meeting
you guys leave that out? Guide Oh, no derivative groups
strategizing ways to deny trump the nomination. And some
prominent Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham rallying
around Senator Ted Cruz. I think he is a Republican conservative
who I could support but it's a real didn't vote of support
listen to what Graham said about Cruz just three weeks ago
What's he saying there? I can't hear you know,
here's this is real disappointing pointing. I don't
know who owns the original clip because I've heard the original
clip, and it's very intelligible. This one here is
just horrible. I don't know what this is. Somebody picked up from
their cell phone. Lindsey Graham is in on giving a speech and he
says, if you shot Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate and held
a trial in the Senate to convict you, you would you could not be
convicted. Because they have immunity. No, because they
everyone hates Ted Cruz and it's actually the funniest thing that
Lindsey Graham has ever
said. Let's see if we can listen to it then. And we'll just be i
wish i had i You
know, I have some more I have a better coverage but I can't
believe ABC couldn't get a better copy.
Of a Mitt Romney announcing that he will caucus for Senator Ted
Cruz in next week's Utah primary. He's hoping that enough
people will vote for Cruz to deny trump the delegates to win
the nomination outright forcing a contested convention. Trump
following back on Twitter posting, Mitt Romney is a mixed
of man who doesn't have a clue. No wonder he lost
the back and forth with Romney continues. Tom Yamas with us
tonight. And Tom Mitt Romney says he's voting for Ted Cruz in
Romney's home state of Utah, not because he's been a longtime
Cruz supporter, but because of his continuing strategy here.
That's right. David Romney wants to take away as many votes as he
can from Donald Trump. And he says a vote for anyone other
than Cruz makes it extremely likely that Trumpism will
prevail.
David Tom Yamas with us from Florida tonight, Tom, thanks for
a couple of
things here. This Romney thing is completely out of control. He
was on the Kimmel show. Yeah, I
saw that. Yeah, I couldn't get a clip because it was an interest
wasn't it was completely uninteresting.
Yeah. And he was a dud that he is. And it just seems, you know,
this weirdness to it to me, is that I think is pretty well
known in the Mormon community that the evangelicals have they
have the type that Ted Cruz is, which is a fanatic. Yeah, even
they don't get to see it so much. But he's book is written
worse than George Bush, George W. And they tend to hate
Mormons. Yeah. With the passion. Yeah, this, this real radical
type? Yes. And the Mormons, you know, or I just don't see what
we're hiding. Why would you tell us do we there's a missing piece
to this, because no way that Ramiz coming out of the woodwork
the way he did, and he's making a huge fuss. That doesn't make
any sense. Maybe he's
trying to fulfil the prophecy. Prophecy and The man on the
white horse.
I don't think Trump brides of white No, baby
Romney wants to be the white horse. I don't know. Well, he
lost before. He's not going to win again this time. I mean,
he's just not I don't know what it is.
I don't know. He has nothing better to do. How about that?
But let's listen to this. Run this and let's get out of it. I
have a
couple things. I'm waiting man. I got stuff to do.
How about news, our Republican Party disarray just to give us a
little because I do want to play a David Brooks clip.
You read his op ed in the Times this morning?
No, I will share the rift
in the Republican Party over Donald Trump shows no signs of
mending. Just today. Former Republican presidential nominee
Mitt Romney announced on social media that he will vote for
Senator Ted Cruz in the Utah caucuses next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, as Trump marches closer to the 1200 plus
delegates he needs to secure the party's nomination. Some party
operatives are scrambling for an alternative. On Thursday, a
group of conservative GOP activists held a closed door
meeting here in Washington to discuss how to block Trump from
the nomination. Here's Eric Erickson who was one of the
meetings organisers on Fox Business News Thursday.
The Republicans that they nominate Donald Trump are voted
nominee, the only politician in America more unpopular and less
trustworthy than Hillary Clinton. That's not where you
start when you want to beat Hillary Clinton, but that's the
reality of it with them and I'm not gonna play part of it.
For his part a Trump policy advisor pushback today with a
warning for the Republican Party. Here's what Sam Clovis
had to say on CNN new day.
This guy's this guy with the big fat head
did the big fat hit. I would know Eric Erickson is no beauty.
I
would not want this guy representing me. But no. I think
this was done on purpose. Of course. This this guy is I saw
listen this not say what I saw him on.
And I will tell you this if the republican party comes into that
convention and Jimmy's with the rules and takes away the will of
the people, the will of the Republicans and the Democrats
and the independents who have voted for Mr. Trump, I will take
off my credentials. I will leave the floor of that convention.
And I will leave the Republican Party forever good. And
that fat neck
douche. Bleed douche? Was there more on this? I did.
The analysis of Shields and Brooks That is syndicated
columnist Mark Shields. And David Brooks. So gentlemen with
that gentle note to to end this week, David. Where does the
Republican contest stand on
trembling at the loss of Sam Clovis from
the Brooks wrote an op ed in the Times No, not Trump, not ever.
And you can only guess where we're that went?
Well here play this news. Our David Brooks thinks they should
do it clip and this to me, I was appalled by this.
It Trump's looking like he's a nominee. I mean, he had this
great night. He if he continues as he's been going right now
with my paper reported or upside Department reported he will get
the what do you need? So he's looking like he can get it.
There are two ways he could not get it. One maybe if Kasich
drops out, there's some polls that show of cruisers one on one
they could he could make some inroads into Trump, and then
something behind the scenes or something fiddling with the
rules. I of course, think they should do it. But one of the
features of this year is that Donald Trump has a monopoly on
Audacity, or let
me read some of his
issues. Do it. Screw this guy yell at the public. Yeah, this
is a this is a classic. We're in this case, Republican. The
Democrats have them to elite.
Yeah, I was such an elite. But what's interesting is in his
candidate, I won, he won. He admits
to it. He says here. So he differences being paid. Pundits
are coming out with their what we can learn commentaries, those
commentaries are built on a hidden respect for the outcome.
That is a that this is a rejection of republicanism that
wasn't working in points in some other direction. The question
is, should deference be paid to this Victor? Should we bow down
to the judgement of these voters? Well, some respect is an
order Trump voters are a coalition of the dispossessed.
They have suffered lost jobs, lost wages, lost dreams, the
American system is not working for them, so naturally, they're
looking for something else. Moreover, many in the media,
especially me, did not understand how they would
express their alienation. We expected Trump to fizzle because
we were not socially intermingled with his supporters
and did not listen carefully enough. For me it's a lesson
that I have to change the way I do my job if I'm going to report
accurately on this country. Yeah. Wow. How did you miss Oh,
a half of the country being pissed off and being
dispossessed, dude.
Unbelievable. And, and
then he goes into, you know, they fact check, he's a liar.
Liar. He's a liar. He's a liar. He's a liar. And the Republicans
who call us Ron Trump are making a political error. They're
selling their integrity for a candidate who will probably lose
about 60% of Americans disapprove of him. As See, John
Trump is an affront to basic standards of honesty, virtue and
citizenship, he pollutes the atmosphere in which our children
are raised. He has already shredded the unspoken rules of
political civility that make conversation possible. In this
in his savage
sky have any sense of history
now, in his savage regime, public life is just a dog eat
dog war of all against all, as the founders would have
understood. He is a threat to the long and glorious experiment
of American self government. He is precisely the kind of
scapegoating promise making fear driving and deceiving
demagogues, they feared the founders. That's, that's, that's
pretty. That's outrageous. Now, for people
who think about a demagogue holy crap for people
who aren't saying Oh, Trump when he talks to himself, but I was
blown away it just out of the blue, one of his advisors
appeared with broth. And this is Stephen Miller, who used to work
for Jeff Sessions. This guy is a professional. This is a pro
Insider. He's been inside Washington for a long time, I
think Jeff Sessions who of course, endorsed Trump, the was
his advisor or something important for the past seven or
eight years. And this guy is an analyst. He knows exactly what
he's doing. And he said somebody just had a couple of fun things
to say in this little bit with broth where they played, they
start off they play the Trump ad where Hillary's barking and then
they come back with the the anti Hillary barking ad, where you
know, the ends with Hillary laughing at Trump doing
something silly. I can't member exactly what it was. And so they
play that. And here Stephen Miller
was a funny one yesterday with Hillary Clinton barking like a
dog. That was the Trump ad. This is anti Trump ad your reaction?
Well, I think Hillary Clinton comes out very importantly in
the ad. I don't really sure. Did her campaign actually make that
ad?
No, it was a super PAC. Okay, who supports her to do it?
Right. But it's a pro Hillary Clinton superpower.
So the guy's an analyst, he's okay. Well, that was dumb. All
right, super
PAC did a very bad job with the ad because it ends with that
clip of a very natural effect and moment from the candidates.
I think that's just strange, just from like a professional
standards point of view.
That's the Hillary laughing like a crazy person.
But Donald Trump is going to have a huge election against
Hillary Clinton, because the issues that Democrats depend
upon, Donald Trump is going to control like the trade issue.
He's going to hammer Clinton on her support for the TPP, the
Trans Pacific Partnership, and we're going to bring in the blue
collar voters that and she's going to end up having a very
hard time connecting with looks
like Hillary Clinton is now spending a lot more time
focusing in on a possible run against Donald Trump is the
Trump campaign now spending more time focusing in on a possible
run against Hillary Clinton forgetting about the other
Republican challengers, at least somewhat?
Well, job number one right now is to go ahead and get 1237. And
that's what we're focused, but you saw with our own ad, that
we're giving a little sampling a little appetiser of how we're
going to go after Hillary Clinton and the general
election. And again,
this is good to know. That was just a sampler. Okay, a tease,
I'm happy now gonna be
a huge contrast on issues like trade and immigration, where
we're gonna start with rookie people. And Hillary Clinton is
gonna side with big business and corporations. And you know, with
Lindsey Graham, endorsing Ted Cruz, that's really a remarkable
development because it means that the people who favour
offshoring who favour foreign policy interventionism and who
favour a failed legacy on trade are lining up behind Ted Cruz
because they don't want anything in Washington to change.
So he's got some smart people on his side.
Well, that guy definitely is a smart guy. Now, the funny thing
about that Trump ad, is that cost do they production causes
all they paid because they put the ad on Instagram now, and
every news outlet played it for free is fantastic.
Great. $2 billion of free media were crazy.
And then it even got more play because Putin came out and said
he was being insulted in the ad.
Yeah, I have some comments on that, I think is bogus. It's
probably bogus. But isn't,
is bogus, too, but it got more ink. For Trump.
The I've been working with Brian, the gay Crusader in
Chicago. And he was he's very tuned in to what's going on in
Chicago. And it's my belief now that I've done a little bit of
research into this thing, this protest that was scheduled at
the Trump rally this regardless of who cancelled it, because
that's now a point of contention. It could have been
extremely ugly now that I've seen this, this little 15 minute
mini documentary, this called silencing Trump, Bill Ayers and
the fire from below. Now, this could be completely, you know,
cherry picked, but what it looked like to me, is, you know,
before the in the afternoon and this, this video kind of covers
the people were there. It's moveon.org. It's a number of
different SEIU sponsored organisations, they were handing
out free T shirts, which is in one of these little clips, with
with a picture of Trump with Hitler on it free T shirts that
were given out everybody signs. But most interesting was Bill
Ayers himself was a part of the organisation of this rally.
Maybe you can help us with the Bill Ayers background. Well,
Bill Ayers
is an old I had had to look let me look while you're doing it,
I'll look him up so I can get his dates, right. But he's very
famous. Troublemaker
he was from the weatherman wasn't from the weather and the
Weather Underground, or whether it was
actually Weather Underground, but he was definitely in this
SDS era socialists are the students for democratic society,
and social history kind of a front organisation. And he was
one of these guys who designed a lot of the techniques. I think
at the March on the Pentagon. I didn't think he was behind that,
right? But he's behind a lot of the troublemaking, I'm looking
at agitator techniques.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to look at, so what I did
here is the arrows is in the clip three or three or four
times, so I just stuck that all together because again, who
knows, but I just I want them as fast as I can get.
It goes right into the six out of the 60s student protest
stuff, right? He's 71 So he's pretty old. Right and he was
married to Bernadine Dohrn, very famous agitator founded the
Weather Underground students for the founders, Students for a
Democratic Society, which was I remember, I was went one quarter
to We're at Cal State, Hayward. And I was and there was a
student for democratic society meeting that I went to. And
I went to this and this is where, what what college what
university this
is, this was Cal State Hayward, which is now Cal State Bay Area
you. And now I don't know what they call it anymore, but it's
Cal State system. It's a secondary system. Right. And I
was went to for a summer. And actually, I continued one extra
quarter while I was working, because I wanted to check to see
if I could take 18 units and work full time at the same time
and chew gum. And this was like one of my one of my errors in
judgement and you
wound up being a podcaster our life is unfair. Life is so on. I
biggest
everybody who had my biggest error in judgement, although it
turned out to work out for me with working tooth two full time
jobs one summer and ending up with mononucleosis because oh
man where was burning for free college when you needed
it. Anyway, so these days are over. So he's founded that and
then the Chicago Annenberg challenge. I have no idea what
that is. Yeah, no, he's a troublemaker. Yeah, big time.
And it's one of the organisers he was, he was organising it.
Yeah. Well, he's
the best guy. He's actually now as a professor someplace.
He's in Chicago. Oh, okay. He's in Chicago. He's so he was part
of. He was part of the organisers, so I've still stuck
his bits together so we can get a little idea of his thinking,
which, of course, is not changed, much ever seen in
Chicago, it's huge. And it's galvanised Latino students,
black students, Muslim students, and white students. And
everybody feels like, look, this is a university we don't need to
kind of organise hatred, to be spilling into our centering
answer is to out are you doing to be smarter than to, to win
over the people who were standing in line to go see him?
To talk to them in a way that's, you know, that's reasonable and
honest, and course I think it's approach Bernie or a pro
Democratic Party. I don't even think it's pro elections. Trump
has galvanised the feeling that there's something loose in the
land and that's something is dangerous, and it's, it's
absolutely anti American, and it has to be approached
has to be opposed. We have to convince them with force if
necessary. Okay,
you know, the funny thing about the hatred thing is the people
on that side of the equation that bill aracite In this case,
that seemed to be the most vitriolic, hateful Yeah, I was
watching one clip of some white kind of a white fat chicks on a
describer screeching at some guy for his I
Have a Dad this is a part this is a part of my package coming
at you baby.
I'm glad I didn't pull it so you got it go. Yeah,
first we go into the ditzes Bizarre you'd be always want to
interview some people who are around ask them some questions.
Again, this could be cherry picks. But this is one girl. I
think it's how it starts off. cute blonde, probably about 510
or a blonde, a brunette and she walks by the camera and flips
the bird and the guy's like, Hey, why are you doing that?
What's going on? Let's stick up your middle finger.
here for you. I won't do it. She telling me I'm reeling in my own
mind.
So just in case you didn't hear within my own. Fuck you. You
can't. I won't do what you tell me. Which of course is lyrics to
a song. I am free within the confines of my own mind. Yeah,
this is what's a college like? You. I
won't do what you tell me. I'm breathing in my own mind. Are
you to go to school here? Tell me about your shirt. Oh, it's
actually free.
This is a girl has the Trump Hitler shirt on? She got it for
free. Free.
Somebody gave it to me for free. Yeah, they're just handing them
out.
No, no, she
knows. She knows what
she says she thinks. I think someone gave it to me for free.
Yeah, she doesn't. No, no.
No. This is what this is what it was. It was fun. Everyone's out
there. We're having a good time. Well, I would have
grabbed a bunch of those. Sure. I would have loved to have
me for free. Yeah, they're just handing them out.
These are stuff from 2016 balloons. I think that's pretty
obvious in the shape of a penis. 22 inch likeness of them. Notice
no balls. There was one ball it would be Hitler but they're no
balls on this one.
So that way it would be Trump or
carnation, Hitler and Donald Trump. Yeah.
People just walking by fucking Donald Trump. Donald Trump.
Understanding I want to talk to people and be like, Why do you
think this person is going to trump remind you of Hillary?
Yeah. Oh my god. I mean, like the concentration camp, not to
like that extent, but like, pushing us out. away. He wants
power. Yeah. Power. You guys support Bernie Hey guys, Bernie
Sanders, Bernie Sanders.
I'm supporting Hillary Clinton. Bernie, Bernie
Bernie Sanders. There you go. Beautiful, beautiful kids with
fine specimens. Now, here's the what the clip you were talking
about. So this guy is interviewing. He's actually
interviewing some brown girls. And she comes over and she
starts harassing him just beg, go away, go, almost like the
university professor with you know, she's like, Hey, go
putting your hand in the camera. And then the guy's like, what
would I do wrong? And then she she holds up her iPhone and
funny. Yeah,
that's the one that says the iPhone, horrible person. She's
frighteningly creepy.
I watched this clip two times. And I watched it a third time
with my eyes closed. And then it took me back to the Obama bought
dinner where I got yelled at for my my, my white privilege. It's
triggering. It's called trigger warning. So she she brings out
her iPhone five, see a blue colour. And then she starts to
rule you and do it. She
says to make a note of that.
I couldn't help myself. He pushes the iPhone into the
camera like okay, but what she says, and that anger and you
have to see this clip. It's in the show notes at 809. Dot no
agenda notes.com. The her eyes, it's just pull. Scary.
Here we go. What's your name? What's your name? Sir? Are you
from? Where are you from? What neighbourhood? Are you from
Shoot,
shoot to come see me right now.
Because you're a fucking white man who gets to do whatever he
wants to in this space. Right? So I'm saying no, you do not
have permission to walk around videotaping women of colour, and
acting like you can do that. And the rest of us? Aren't you quite
aware by holding that video camera on me that you are
surrounded by your privilege. Right? Take your privilege
somewhere else, please. All right, because your privilege is
not welcome here. So unless you are here to dismantle your
privilege, please find somewhere else to go.
Wow. Well, there's a lot of opportunities there for that guy
to say stuff like dismantle my privilege. Okay, I'll do that.
What do you do then? When you how do you dismantle
scenario Okay, I think I've done that. I mean, there's a lot of
she was so it was she was like a psycho. And I don't think
anybody not expecting something like this
sort of I have seen exactly. I don't know what to do. It's like
what
was exactly what happened to this person.
It's exactly what happened to me. And it was the same.
You choked
by when I choked. Yeah, that. Oh, hell yeah.
So did that guy, he just choked? He choked? I
would too. I still don't know what to do. Now is
because you don't it's a completely new territory. You
don't have any lines. You have not rehearsed this. You have no
idea what to say or do and so you choke. But now I think if we
you know, everyone should probably work on thinking that
you might be confronted by one of these people and you should
be able to deliver some lines back.
What would they be?
I'd love to dismantle my privilege. Tell me how. Tell me
how right now tell me how do I do? You're all over this
privileged thing. Lady. You tell me how to dismantle it. Tell me
right now?
Well, here's what she would say. Go off on or she would say you
can't you just need to go away with your white privilege. You
can't take it off just like a black person can't take off his
skin black people can take off, you can take off your white
privilege.
I don't that's what you should say you're right. But I don't
know that anyone ever read can ever goes back at them. So I
think she would choke at that moment because she's not ready
for that. I pretty sure you can confound them. Let me know this
kind of thing that we talked about on this show cognitive
dissonance. Yeah. It's kind of all over the place. And in after
a while after you finish this little clip, I want to play a
couple of examples of how it shows up in the public domain.
I have a kicker from this from this little mini documentary,
which was I thought kind of the fun thing at the end. So they
they get this guy and he's got an interesting looking guy black
shades black hat on. Not a baseball cap but to like almost
like a bowler. And he's had his hand and out you know, like
clockwork orange a little
bit. Yes. A little bit like a little bit like clockwork
orange. It's creepy. And the guy's like, because handing out
pamphlets and signs and I don't get T shirts. And the guy says
Oh, who are you?
He's in there organising a fascist mob. That's ready to
fight. They're hungry.
Whoa, the fascist mob. He's in there. Trump wasn't there. He's
in there organising a fascist mob.
He's not doing that
these are lies this is what people believe that no wonder
they're responding like he's in
there organising a fascist mob that's ready to fight. They're
hungry
ready to fight with you or at one of these stuff stop. You're
at one of these events does that what you got out of it? But I
was not a big event organiser as a fascist mob being ready to
fight No, there
was not at the one I was at. But this was the Chicago one where
this whole demonstration was organised. And I think whoever
said don't Trump don't come or beat Trump talk to himself and
said it they diverted a big scene and it seems like this was
really planned and it was supposed to be this was supposed
to be the take Trump down huge remember 68 Chicago you know all
of that. Then interesting to see the cops this is something Brian
the gay Crusader said and we looked at video together 1520
minutes of video and outside and cops were being assaulted their
hats being slammed off and not a single person got arrested.
That's odd the mayor the two things that they got from one of
the reports the mayor told him that nobody could be arrested on
that on that side of the equation and they should not
wear their normal helmets because it would be bad optics
optics yeah bright so there was no budget so they had no
protective gear on so that's why they're rollicking around all
bloody they must be really
pissed off. Okay, here's so let's listen to this kicker.
He's in there organising a fascist mob that's ready to
fight. They're hungry. You got to deal with that. Are you? Are
you with Rev calm? I'm a distributor for rev calm. Yeah.
Quick. Grab calm is Rev calm. The voice of the revolutionary
Communist Party USA.
Communist Party USA. Yeah. Okay. Americans apple pie.
Yeah, they're all for Bernie. Now,
do you remember the guy who went up on the you may have seen this
on the lectern that when Trump wasn't there, and he was yelling
and shouting and the cops are tearing him away.
I remember that, but I don't. I never saw a video of it just
stills.
This guy's name is Jedediah Brown. And he is. This is not
reported anywhere. So he jumps up on stage. He's Yellen. What
is not reported is that he is running for the Fifth Ward
Alderman in Chicago. Gee, isn't that convenient to jump up there
and show your face when you're in the middle of an election?
That interesting.
This, of course isn't a good move. This of course
is not addressed on Fox channel two in Chicago who cornered him
and don't even introduce him as a candidate for Alderman Daya
Brown,
a Chicago anti violence activist in the middle of violence,
anti act anti violence activist. This is running for a political
seat. Where position is yet to die. Uh,
what will you doing? Man? That's not going down in Chicago?
Yeah, but people got a right to speak and be heard.
Or do you mean I utilise my freedom of speech?
Yeah, but even in people you disagree with got a right to be
heard and to and to hear.
If you paid attention, Trump's the one who carried out we did
not stop it. He postponed it before we even got to say a
word. Yeah, but that was rowdy. So look, he is he has
got to admit that he was right to
the interview is this. This is 105.
Fox channel two in Chicago. Yes.
No, not at all. Trump has happened. environments where he
has instructed people to leave out a router said he wished he
could smack individuals said he will pay for the legal fees of
anybody who attacked it. This is clearly
no he didn't say that. He didn't say anybody didn't say he would
play the legal fees of anybody
the environment he wanted to create. He can handle it right.
There might be so but didn't you create the equal and opposite
action?
Not at all. And again, so here's the here's here's the scoop. And
here's how I go. All right. I went to that rally, trying to
figure out could America withstand a stomach a hateful
campaign? Donald Trump being able to run a successful
campaign in America in 2016 should be alarming to everybody.
So I wanted to see is this real? Or is this just what the media
portrays?
Oh, okay. He just wanted to go and just have a look for himself
and be wound up on the podium behind the lectern yelling being
pulled away and just wanted to see what's going on
got into build and I was met with racism, ignorance, bigotry,
and a lot of hate standing in line trying to even get in the
door and when I got inside, it was no different. I'm not
looking for confrontation. I'm definitely looking forward to
conversation, which is what were you doing up on the stage? Yeah,
I acted less crazy to net in a barn got beat down. Yeah,
I was not angry. I was passionate. Oh, because all
about oh, it's passion. I was able to go on stage and put out
a message of hope and in a piece, but I was in a hostile
environment. So don't misunderstand my face.
Let's cut away to the tape for a second piece that didn't look
like these
said the look alike piece. But you can't judge a basket. If you
read my lips I clearly and saying America is already great
without hate. I was in a hostile environment. So my body language
was aware
of my body language was
is there a way Trump welcomed people in his tent? Black
people, people of colour and create a sort of a, an America
for us?
I was there because I wanted to see, first of all, I'm of the
persuasion that is not about Republican Democrat. It's about
American values. And I was there to see if Donald Trump was
saying anything that'll speak to me.
Okay, that's enough for this guy. You
know what I'm saying? Now, on the heels of this as we start to
move away slowly, Elizabeth Warren had did an interview on
the CBS Morning Show with Charlie and Gail and the whole
crew. And she was very, very cagey about her answers.
Although I think she was probably correct in how she
answered these specific questions. But mica over there.
The Morning Joe Show. She was very disappointed. She's a she's
a big Elizabeth Warren fan. And I think she'd be in her analysis
is incorrect, I believe. But it was an interesting moment, both
on the CBS Morning Show and The Morning Joe response. But I
think what's really happening here is that Elizabeth Warren
might be trying to negotiate herself a very good position,
whatever the Clinton administration might look like,
Senator Elizabeth Warren, was asked yesterday about Hillary
Clinton's paid speeches on Wall Street. Now, you'd think the
answer that would be crystal clear, right, Elizabeth Warren,
should or Hillary or of course released the Wall Street speech?
Of course she should.
That's what we expect. You agree.
From Elizabeth Warren? Yeah. No,
why not?
She wants to be Secretary of State. Right. That's what she
said. Right? That's
gotta be take a look.
Do you believe that Senator Clinton should release the
transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs? I think that our
candidates are out doing what they should do in a primary.
They are debating the issues and answering my question, Senator
sales what I'm doing is I'm telling you what I think should
be going on right now in this light, which is a yes or no, yes
or no question. Should she release the transcripts? I've
told you this I think that the primaries are doing exactly what
they should be doing and the candidates are being tested. So
depressed?
Girl, I think she's gonna be beat. There must be something at
play here. Would it be? That would be the whatever you're
doing because I that was obviously dancing around the
topic. I'm saying she was being complete. She was completely
circumventing the question. I'm not sure I would have continued
the interview. That was no answer. There must be some
negotiation underway. I hope it works out really well. Because
we need her way. Way. Way. Way. Way, way way.
You're right by I don't know if it's Secretary of State, but
she's clearly Yeah, that'd be the job. Yeah, no, that's gonna
be horrible as Secretary of State.
Horrible, worse than what we've watched it with Kerry and
Clinton herself. Well, I
and I want to talk about Carrie in a moment but first, it's
clearly time to thank you for your courage and passion and you
send you love and light and say in the morning to you John, see
you and as he stands for Cal State Devorah hack,
you get to keep your love and light. I'm John C. Dvorak and I
thank you for your courage and in the morning to you all the
boots on the ground that feet in the air the subs in the water
and something else in the Dames of the nights out
in the morning everybody in the chat room. No agenda stream God
calm thank you for being with us today. Once again for Episode
Eight zero Niner. And thank you to us sub seven zero comes in
again with the artwork for episode 808. Of course this was
the happy countries episode and the artwork was oh, there was
the that no agenda 8008 0.33 megahertz chips. Cute. It was
very cute. Very nice. Cute.
33 megahertz as a point three and which is somewhat close to
the those those speeds are really low. That's really wow,
that was the speed
back in the day.
It was like, Whoa, that's fast.
I look forward to all of these submissions and no agenda art
generator.com.
And I have I'm trying to get this. We got a couple of people.
We have a couple of people to thank Robert weed. We know that
Rita Rita in New York has the top Bose is the executive
producer one of two, three, and $51.92 and all he says is 80.9
quid times four to make a deficit and remove douchebags
that This and he thinks that he's gay. I think he's Sunday
night list is the other night list with ice and blue and he
might be that's blue. Isn't it?
Kind of? Yes. He's. He's on the night list. Let me do the D do
show. The status washed.
Okay goes from deep from being reduced to being de douche.
Thank you, Robert. And he has right to the top. Our second
executive producers sir Kay town in Middletown, New Jersey
$333.33. You've really outdone yourselves this time. He says he
writes, I find myself struggling to accurately express my
thoughts on the masterpiece. That was Thursday's show. Thank
you. I think it was it was one of the top shows. I couldn't
even make it to the first donation segment without
repeatedly repeatedly shaking my head in utter disbelief. A GOP
official openly disregarding voters and the internet was a
good clip. And the entire primary process was one thing.
But the CBS News models spoon feeding anti Trump Trump
propaganda to children. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
That was pretty bad. We had to play that again. By the way. I
was I was thinking about it. And I said that is it was a great
clip you got borderline on that one. I believe we want to play
any one play right now? Yeah, play it if you got 2016
election cycle has been tough for some adults to watch these
students feel the same way? Are you tired of them being mean to
each other? Yes. Are you tired of them talking over each other?
Are you tired of them making fun of each other? Yes. Where do you
think all that started? They pay close attention to a range of
issues, immigration, gun control terrorism.
Those kids are really concerned about gun control. All right,
Donald Trump has good that's a good he's does he actually felt
angry and insulted by the lunacy of it all is if these talking
heads have all become disconnected from reality then
David Brooks admits it in that article you read that he's
disconnected from reality because they don't care. They
don't mingle. They don't go to the store. They send their you
know, people, the shop for them. Anyway, so don't disconnected
from reality. They've actually forgotten you human beings are
actually capable of thinking for themselves. I can't help but
feel as if this whole thing is going to blow up in their faces.
That people will really rally sorry rally behind Trump just
despite the overly confident GOP establishment, I think there's
an element of that going on. As for the Democrats, it seems that
they are under estimating the momentum Bernie Sanders has with
young people. My brother and most of his friends will be
voting for the first time this year and they're all in for
Bernie. They're also without exception, anti Hillary. They
see her as a corrupt and dishonest the elite really
nailed that one and will not support her should Bernie lose.
In fact, for them, the only choice is either Bernie Sanders
or Donald Trump. I
agree with this assessment. I'm seeing evidence of that.
I am also seeing evidence of it in my little group.
Oh, but I want to point out for the Reddits for the subreddit.
Yeah, we don't know anything about millennials. We're idiots
we're morons
you know, I don't want to dissuade you from hanging out in
negative environments. It was hard it was hard but Alright,
well
that was the there was a post what do you like least about the
show? Man that was that was the top gripe but
then we're idiots about millennials Yeah. Oh good.
You're gonna love the good clip. I've got wait. None of the other
candidates he continues or even being considered all this makes
me wonder what will actually happen if the party leadership
decides to flip their support supporters the bird which they
were doing and choose one of their shields as candidates,
there may be a very large group of underemployed highly educated
young adults with a thing or two to say about it. No matter the
outcome. I can't wait to hear the endlessly entertaining
deconstruction only the two of you can provide on the best
podcast in the universe. As long as you remain the guardians of
reality the sanity of the public still has a chance thank you for
your courage. You make me proud to be a knight of the no agenda
round table. Oh, nice. Yeah. And our last wait wait,
what does he have here? He wants to Trump Bing Bing Bong, Bernie
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Hillary. Bing Bing bong bong bing bing. Why
did you put out a statement that was misleading? Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, that's that's
not my understanding. And poor lady.
You've got karma. Thank you very much. Okay town.
All right. That was a good note. Sandra Langston in Austin,
Texas. Your town? That's right. Do you want her in at? No, she
did send an email and let me go open it. Donate 20 $18 this week
for the first time. Not enough to climb out of douchebaggery.
But eventually I will. I will. I enjoyed you guys for quite some
time. 218 is approximately the number of transatlantic flights
I've made since living in Southern Italy and Austin
simultaneously since 1982. I'll add the early ship crossings and
I probably had a Moses like effect on the tract of water. I
gotcha. Excavation of Greek tombs and reconstruction
artefacts and cranial facial was my specialty. So she's gonna say
reconstruction Nyssa does archaeology so nice. She married
a native in Italy and my kids were born there. She goes on she
was also an artist she mentioned and it does mention a few
personal things. She said one of my boys is now a master brewer.
Oh which is good. Oh, I don't always agree with your theories
that who would? But often I do and especially enjoy all the
sample mixes made by the producers. Yeah, they're great
about what happens at the end of the show. She says they are
great. Hey man fist bump. The most recent one from Sunday show
with barking Hillary what's the name of a good name from our
band? The bark bark Hillary's was the best jet hence my
overwhelming guilt and resulting donation we get the laugh and
dance keep it up we love you just give her some karma for
trip travel
Absolutely. Travel karma.
You've got karma
that is
no we
have one we have one more. Oh we do. Austine bear.
Oh boy. Oh, he's
staying OYSTEIN bear in Rotterdam.
Why this is wrong here. That's right below it. Like he won't
scroll
in the morning. JNA on the last show you talked about how people
how people live in different realities depending on what they
watch and or are listening to. I would encourage new listeners to
get their daily dose of no agenda and cut down on the
mainstream media view will then one day wake up in a different
reality where you see the news media for what it really is a
big show. I'd like to report back from Rotterdam tell you
that the House finding karma worked. I have now a much better
place for myself and my cat here in Rotterdam to try to offend as
many people as possible. Even though I recognise Rotterdam as
the modern Harbour City it is with its hard working people
building it up from the rubble It was after the Second World
War Something is definitely rotten in Rotterdam with
workable people I'm reading verbatim, with workable people
collecting welfare sitting all day on socialism on socialist
media. It's a good one socialist media. That's actually a good
that's a good way socialism. You don't write that down. Socialist
media, I love it. Where are we sitting all day on socialist
media mainly face bags, talking about how we are all going to
die if we don't reduce the use of plastic. Just to give you one
example, please give me a shot of karma. new shot of karma as
I'm sure I need it in this sea of brainwashed people. Luckily,
I found bubbles in the sea with people who see the world as I
do. So there's hope. Thank you for your courage and sanity
greetings from Rotterdam. Yo, yo, you've got Carmax to
underdogs boy staying there. Thank you so much.
Yes. And that concludes our little group of people here that
helped us as executive and Associate Executive producers
for show 809 I want to thank them. And also we have some more
people to think later in the show and also remind you to go
to divorce that org slash na so we can bring these up a little
bit. We like to get at least five as opposed to you know, two
or three in this category.
All right. And that show will be coming on Thursday, of course
vora.org/n A n that means you have four days to be running
around and doing the important work of propagating our formula
formula is
this. We go out we had people in
the mouth Amen. Citizen slaves both I was going to move
somewhere with you about
Oh, yes. Carry that. I was tracking something for the past
week and a half and I didn't even make clips of it because it
was unclear to me what was going on by in the background My son's
happening. It was yesterday that I started to pull it all
together. And I had seen a clip of Matt Lee, our AP reporter at
the State Department, getting all huffy with Kirby, about the
missing of the date for the proclamation of ISIS as a
genocidal group, band they were supposed to delivered on.
Sorry. Yeah, no, this has been Yeah, no, yeah, no, this has
been a payment issue.
But here's what was odd. Everyone was saying, Hey, how
come they're not You're not going to make the deadline. The
deadline is tomorrow. But you're already saying we're not going
to make it you don't have respect for the deadline. It's a
Congress imposed deadline. Kirby was confused, didn't know what
to say. And all of a sudden, on 9am, the day of the deadline,
Carrie comes out, does this 12 minute piece of crap,
regurgitating everything we've seen right down to burning
pilots, you know, decapitating every every high end video we've
seen, and then says, clearly, these guys are genocidal. So
then, that was odd, because all reporting showed that Obama, the
White House was against this classification, or was trying to
delay it. And it's unclear whether Kerry did it on his own
power, or something else happened, which I think is the
case.
Well, you, as you recall, you know, Kerry has done stuff like
this. He's the one yes, let the door open for the Russians to
come in to help them get rid of those gas canisters in Syria.
I think I know what may be happening. But let's listen to
the White House's response, which is really non committal.
It's just like,
obviously, over the last few weeks, I've received a number of
questions about this. I know that my colleagues, the State
Department and other national security agencies across the
government have been asked about this. What's happening in Iraq
and in Syria, is deeply troubling. We do see this
extremist organisation targeting religious minorities and their
propaganda. They're featuring evidence of trying to wipe out
these religious minorities. And the President has talked on a
number of
occasions. Now listen to what he's saying, because I think
this is where the clues lie about
how this is deeply troubling, and is an affront to every
person of faith. That's why the President has ordered military
action against ISIL. In Iraq and in Syria. In some cases, there
have been military actions that have been ordered specifically
to protect religious minorities. So there certainly is the
example of Mount Sinjar, which we've cited here frequently,
this is this
goes on and on for a while. But then he's saying oh, well, the
of the he was trying to get the the people on Mount Sinjar. And,
you know, it's all these genocidal moves they're making.
And I've looked up the importance of classifying any
group as genocidal. And there's only two reasons this could be
happening. One, there's some international criminal court
claim covering the Oh saying you attacked without reason. And
this would be a rebuttal saying, Hold on, these guys are
committing genocide, because when you say someone's
committing genocide, a response is warranted, usually from the
international community. And that's where I think this is
really going. And the coincidence between this
Declaration and the rapid pull out of Russia must be related.
Must be related. It's my thing.
Well, I think we've mentioned that the rapid pull out of
Russia is still not fully explained. That doesn't make any
sense. Unless the idea was, I mean, this is one possibility,
I've thought about this exists where perhaps the Russians
rushed in and started bombing left and right. And the whole
idea was just to shore up their base area, their port that they
own and use and, and set up a perimeter around and make sure
that thing was secure, and to pretty much stop all activity by
bombing the crap out of everything, so nobody can really
move around much. And then once they were, they felt they were
secure there, they put some anti aircraft, missiles and some
other things up, they could get out of there. But I think
getting out of their way that analysis at all, so I don't know
what's going on. Personally, somebody should have said
something.
It appears to me that this genocidal categorization will
make room for what now seems to be a backroom deal between Putin
and either Kerry or the White House for both to replace Bashar
Al Assad with somebody else. So that may come with some violence
that may come you know, something, something's gonna
happen. This you know, everyone's like, Oh, well, you
know, we just need to not it's not a big deal. We just mean to
label them as committing genocide. Yeah. I think that
means you're doing something. And big and thinking is Putin
got out but before or as a part of it
was Something's definitely fishy about this whole thing. And and
you end the initialization of this, you might be right about
if it's just carry shooting his mouth off, who tends to do? And
then the Obama administration doesn't want to be part of the
pronouncement of genocide, because then they had their I
think his responsibilities involved and they don't want to
take part in any actual work. I don't know. I don't know. I
think it's, it's up for debate.
The coincidence is just too. Too close for me, for me, for me,
for me, but everything I'm reading, there was definitely a
pushback from the White House on doing this. And then carry in
carry was going to miss it. He said, I'm not going to make it.
We're not going to make this. Our assessment won't be done.
And then boom, all of a sudden is done. With no clear
explanation.
I'm finding it interesting. I followed the the capture of the
last man of live from the Paris event. Yes. Yeah, I saw it too.
And they have I have a rundown of it. Terrorists capture ABC
long rap, if you want to play this brings everything up to
speed. Again, ABC does these long packages that are quite
informative with that. But there's, there's after you play
that there's a very interesting element that cropped up on
Deutsche Avella. Good
evening, and we begin tonight with the breaking news the
dramatic shootout and tonight one of the most wanted men after
the terror attacks in Paris, now captured alive, a massive show
of force in Brussels, Belgium, and then this a series of
explosions and been smoke several arrests, including the
man believed to be at the centre of a four month manhunt across
Europe. And it turns out he was right in the neighbourhood. They
began searching from the start of this lamb corner just yards
from his family's home wounded, but alive tonight and
authorities now plan to grill him ABCs Alex Marquardt on the
scene in Brussels with the takedown and this question
tonight, who was helping him to hide right there where
authorities had been for months.
Tonight gunshots ringing out as heavily armed SWAT teams moved
in. Residents running for cover because one of the world's most
wanted man is cornered on this Brussels street sulla are they
slum believed to be the man in the hooded sweatshirt dragged
off the pavement by police shot in the leg. You can see him
limping because they forced him into the car. The special forces
training their guns on nearby buildings looking for possible
accomplices as an ambulance whisks of Islam away to the
hospital.
Wow, what is that siren?
So I saw Yeah, they're fighting back in a play that again, it's
it's a new siren sound that's in and around Europe. It's very
spooky sounding.
See, where's it here? Here we go. Oh, what? Why isn't? Oh, we
got a problem. Houston. What's going on? Oh, oh.
Would you do a restaurant?
No, no, nothing's responding. Hold on. What's going on here?
Okay. Well, anyway, yeah, I've heard that. And I think it's
probably part of a package because if you listen carefully,
they have that crazy spooky sound. Then they push a button
or something. This switches over to a more normalised European
style siren. But I'm sure somebody somebody who sells
sirens is dreamed up. This new sound is dynamite.
And part of part of what you're probably hearing is the Doppler
effect. No,
that's not a Doppler his
newest strategy. ABCs Tom Yamas from Florida.
Tonight, Donald Trump fending off attacks from two very
different forces. The Republican establishment is this I'm
sorry. I'm just completely wrong clip. I clip something. I'm
sorry.
Donald Trump, Donald Trump caught in Brussels.
What was the name of this clip again?
It was the ABC News wrap. No, ABC News.
No, that's the mistake I just made. Oh, terrorist capture.
Okay, hold on, sir. I'm sorry. I'm not quite sure exactly what
notion Yeah.
Including the man believed to be at the centre of a four month
manhunt across Europe. And it turns out he was right in the
neighbourhood. They began searching from the start. Salah
Abdeslam corner just yards from his family's home wounded, but
alive tonight and authorities now plan to grill him ABCs Alex
Marquardt on the scene in Brussels with the takedown and
this question tonight who was helping him to hide right there
where authorities had been for months.
Tonight gunshots ringing out as heavily armed SWAT teams moved
in president's running for cover, as one of the world's
most wanted men is cornered on this Brussels Street, Salah
Abdeslam believed to be the man and the hooded sweatshirt
dragged off the pavement by police shot in the leg. You can
see him limping because they forced him into the car. No this
special forces training their guns on
the report I saw he had no pants on.
No, he has looks at pants somebody they were. He wasn't
limping. That was a different guy who had no pants on. Then
they arrested him yesterday. You're
looking for possible accomplices as an ambulance whisks of Islam
away to the hospital. in custody, guarded by masked. Man
I'ma Nailed it.
Nailed it. I knew what it is right now
in custody, guarded by the 26 year old I'll be salaam was the
only survivor of the group of terrorists who carried out the
highly coordinated deadly Paris attacks that claimed 130 lives.
A French citizen raised in Belgium, he rented the car that
drove a team of suicide bombers to the soccer stadium. match
between Germany and France was underway interrupted by those
powerful blasts. This lump also rented the car that dropped off
the ISIS Gunman at the Bataclan theatre where an American rock
band was performing freezing in fear as shots rang out.
There's so much that they know well in the middle of this raid.
We know this guy's fingerprints were in Paris, we know he drove
all this stuff we know suddenly is very,
it's very you can actually stop that clip,
I need to say something about this guy.
Let's go to another clip, which is Deutsche Fidelis clip. And I
end it because I want to comment on what we hear in this
particular clip and how it actually applies to our
election. And some other factors that people are have been in
denial about play this clip is this is a again, it was a long
this was taken from a longer clip, the Deutsche validate
describing the same situation of capturing this guy in Brussels.
But this is the little aside. And this is the Brussels report
no gozone
clause that police had to push back the press and of course the
inhabitants who were curious to see what was happening, and
there was sorting bottles at them so the police would sort of
make volleys with their dogs and come out and chase them away.
And you could feel the hostility so they the police don't get
much help there if they're really after people nobody talks
in that area. And it seems that the Belgium Belgium services
don't really know who lives there who's connected to whom
who does want their rental contracts running on names of
people that can't really be traced back and so on and so
forth. It's a Warren and the police and the police have
really been trying hard to find out Islam they've done nothing
else pretty much since November. They feel a bit better now they
that they have managed to do it however in the end there are
still other people out there the network seems to be rather
larger than everybody had thought in the beginning.
Okay, now here's a couple things are talking about this little
area Mohan she she calls it a Warren which I thought was a
cute usage and which is you know a bunch of rabbit holes den I
guess a rabbit will do a bunch of dents in endless tunnels and
and they were throwing bottles at the police as they were in to
get this guy this is one of those things that that Trump
mentioned once and other people talking about these No Go Zones
yes it's in the UK it's in the UK
a London has um the UK has them this is obviously one they don't
know who even lives there and we're in talking about the
police state of the EU and everybody's you know spied upon
but they don't know who these people are they're living right
in the middle of it. I find this to be just outrageous and in
they finally pull this guy out he's been there for four months
Nobody said said anything which means half the community there
is probably involved in some sort of plotting I just here's
the weird back by the throwing the bottles at the cops.
Oh this happens all over Europe now. Any anyone who's coming to
help some but people are so angry if any rescue workers or
emergency services have to have police protection they're coming
to save somebody who was beat up in a bar they abroad the
ambulance and whatever then people start throwing shit at
them. It's insanity. This Salah Abdeslam here's the here's the
problem this guy is gay and well known to be a gay bars in
Brussels. It just made me this makes no sense. How does an
openly gay guy get to be in so involved in an ISIS terror plot?
I have no idea.
Independent independence are pretty good publication. Aren't
they from UK?
Yes. Okay.
Yep, there they have me. Here's their headline.
What's the headline?
I'm gonna read it to you. Salah Abdeslam who is the gay ISIS
fighter who fled the Paris attacks? And they have a
interesting little, little rundown on him.
Yes, indeed. Let's ask the question, if the ISIS folks are
throwing gays off buildings. So those who see if they bounce,
and how is this guy in ISIS at all?
I don't know. This is these are the questions I have. But you
are correct about Brussels and this area Mowlem bag. When I
lived in Belgium, in Antwerp, we'd see this on television all
the time. And now we're talking 2004 That 50% of Brussels is
Muslim, the most popular baby names Muhammad and it goes on
and on and on. And completely undocumented, not completely,
but many undocumented or poorly documented. And I saw some men
on the street interviews of this area are all in French or a
Flemish and the Flemish I can understand pretty well. And
people are saying yeah, it's kind of crazy. We really don't
know what's going on our neighbourhood.
This is not acceptable. This is not viable. But more importantly
it's not viable they can't allow this to continue in that means
they're going to let it fester and make you know in this guy's
probably part of this problem. You're gonna it's gonna be a
disaster you're gonna end up having to kill a bunch of people
or southern level the place with bulldozers, you never know how
this is going to end. But it's not going to end well.
No, it's a huge problem. Your problem you're not allowed to
talk about steel in. In Europe, you're not allowed to talk about
it. For going on 16 years this has been happening you
can't talk about it. That's this thing that's really upsetting
because you're racist comes up with and now trying to pull that
stunt in this country. In fact, that's the whole plarn contract.
This thing is leading to and that's what you're seeing with
this woman screeching at that guy about his white privilege.
You're surrounded in it? Well, exasperating the situation is
the deal that was struck yesterday between the EU and
Turkey. And it's so convoluted that it has to start working
today. Do you mind if I set it up?
I like to hear what you've come up with because I ended up just
coincidentally finding a guy this you know that guy like
Herbert whatever his name is on it France 24 is when they have
me as a foreign correspondent he always gets to the bottom of
things we'll do is your villa has a guy similar to that and he
actually got to the bottom of this turkey deal. thing. Oh,
good. Good. Good point. Good to the point. Let me anyway to the
point where you go you think oh, well, whatever we were told is
not actually true.
Okay, good. I'll set it up and then which is which is clip is
that the one you want to play? That promise
is a very long clip, but it's so interest now. That's good.
That's good. The best migration wrap Max Hoffman is the guy all
right,
but I'm gonna go first to a report this is just before the
so called deal was struck. Erawan kicking it up in Turkey
Turkey's Prime Minister meets EU leaders in Brussels there is
fighting talk from the country's president fighting talk
fighting, wretched tire. Burdwan has warned EU leaders to
consider their own record on migrants before trying to tell
anchor and what to do. His country will only listen to
external criticism on its right to record when the comments are
justified. He says show your bums we've had in Ankara could
easily go off in Brussels supporters of the PKK are
allowed to demonstrate outside the summit venue block. The EU
member states are behaving recklessly it's as though
they're dancing in a minefield.
That guy sounds like a dictator.
No, I was gonna say the same thing. Yeah. 31. And he actually
is Prime Minister too. Yeah, they scream. They sound like
Hitler. Yeah. You're not casually talking. They're
screeching at the hands punching in the air. This
is the guy that I'm worried about
dancing in a minefield. Observers have taken this as an
apparent reference to the Kurdistan Workers Party militant
group, a PKK offshoot has claimed responsibility for two
suicide bombings in Ankara in the last month that have claimed
the lives of 66 people. Edwin's pledged to amend Turkey's
terrorism legislation following the latest attacks
Yeah, you won't be able to say terrorism is good. So freedom of
speech being quelled there and or squashed at the second set up
before we get into your clip is this was yesterday as the deal
is sealed but no one's really quite sure how it works or what
are we doing?
The ink is still drying or In a controversial EU accord to stop
Europe's migrant flow, but on the Greek island of Edo many
with some 10,000 migrants are stuck in limbo. The refugees and
aid agencies are calling the deal immoral. Under the plan.
Ankara would take back all migrants and refugees who have
illegally crossed Turkey to Europe, even Syrians fleeing war
and exchange. Turkey is rewarded with money and fast track talks
for EU membership. Lucy Kerrigan is with the International Rescue
Committee,
the deal is only going to lead to more disorder more lack of
dignity, more chaos for the people who are already here in
Greece. And the idea that you can make three settlements on
conditions that people are returned from Greece to Turkey,
is unethical. And it will only ensure that desperate people
will only seek more desperate ways to come to Europe.
Proponents of the deal say it will close the main route by
which a million migrants entered Europe in just the past year,
and 1000s of Syrian migrants will still be taken by the EU
directly from Turkey. But deep doubts remain over the Accord.
Even its architects aren't sure if the plan is entirely legal or
even doable.
So the idea is they start sending people back. And for
every person that goes back, they need to take a Syrian in
return. Then you can only imagine if you've if you've made
this journey, you wind up in the camp, everyone's did mud and
then Dirt Nasty. And then and I don't know how they're going to
start sending them back. Though you will be sent back you go to
the bottom of the list. And I got a document here from sub
seven zero who's in in Syria, or being producers he says I got
this document issued by the Lebanese General Directorate of
Public Security dated March 8 Regarding Syrian passengers. All
airlines operating at the airport should adhere to the
following Not to transfer any Syrian passengers coming to
Lebanon if it's found that they had left Turkey to Europe, ie
legally under penalty of returning the Syrian passengers
on the plane they came in. So if you are sent back, and you then
want to go to Lebanon, if you were if it turns out that you
are in if you have escaped Turkey illegally, then you will
no longer be allowed to enter Lebanon, I'm sure this is going
to happen all the other states Jordan will do this. So it's a
double whammy for these people.
Well, the thing that was controversial to a lot of the
new sources is the fast tracking Turkey's into the EU membership
and the Gibson visas, which is
odd, as we've discussed, because it this is on track to happen
anyway. But they want it to happen sooner.
Yeah, it turns out, at least from this guy's perspective,
that this is all nonsense, because there's too many
roadblocks to both of those things. That are tricks that
were built into this agreement, the agreement actually made them
push it back further than they would have gotten it if they
hadn't done this agreement thing. All that the Turks are
getting out of this, which is nothing to sneeze at is just a
lot of money.
Yes, 6 billion euros again. In addition, in addition, this
listen to this. So we get at least a sense of what might
really be going on here and not to be too freaked out about it.
Okay.
Well, dw is max Hoffman has been monitoring these developments
for us in Brussels. Max, tell us about this deal is this is
everyone a winner in this deal.
There are some that consider the EU to be the loser just because
they weren't able to control the migrant sexual situation by
themselves and have to strike this deal with Turkey with Shady
civil liberties record as many claim but if you look really
only at the agreement, then you can say that the EU didn't have
to give too much. If you look at what Turkey actually wanted, and
what they got, then you could say the EU might be the winner
on some of the issues. For example, visa free travel as are
reported last week in his piece just pointed out, there is no
clear commitment to when this will happen. Basically all that
the leader said is as soon as Turkey fulfils all the
benchmarks more than 70 there by the way, then they're ready for
it. So this might be sooner, this might be later and as for
EU accession talks, the only chapter they're opening is a
rather harmless one chapter 33 that deals with the EU budget,
so didn't have to give too much there except for a lot of money.
But if this really does work in the end, so if we really are
capable are able to transform illegal migration into legal
migration then it would be a success for the European Union
but that's far from certain. Now How
insane is it John? That you take someone comes to your country
your union and says help? And then you say okay, back you go.
You're in you're deporting someone to a country that is not
their own country. This is common legally so complicated.
Lots of countries within the EU voiced scepticism about this
deal. Cyprus and France weren't keen on closer ties with Turkey.
Lots of EU states are just not keen on taking migrants in. How
have they been squared to get this unanimous deal?
Do I you know, the scepticism about the visa deal was there
all along. But the decision to allow Turkey to have visa free
travel was taken long before the different Summit. They just
wanted to do it in fall. So now they said, Okay, we're going to
look at this faster. And like I said, if the benchmarks are
fulfilled, then Turkey will have the possibility to have it
earlier. So that's really not a big deal, because the decision
had already been taken. Cyprus was a bigger problem, of course,
huge conflict with Turkey. And they always wanted to block the
EU accession talks. And they, they only allowed this one
chapter to be opened because type Cyprus cannot block that
one.
Cyprus is a problem, of course in this now.
Yes, and cypress with can block and they've been blocking, but
this one apparently this budget thing they can, they can't do
anything about that. But then he mentioned something else that I
don't think we're aware of there, which is a reunification
of Cyprus, which is underway.
The we did discuss that briefly. But there's wireless
for everything else, they continue to block it. But there
is some suspicion unconfirmed that this might also have some
thing to do with a possible reunification of Cyprus, which
of course is tied to Ireland is divided. And the German
Chancellor did confirm that they talked about that a lot.
The deal has been criticised by aid agencies and the UNHCR as
illegal and immoral. How have these objections been addressed?
Well, they inserted a statement into that into the paper we saw
earlier today, saying that they wanted to be in full compliance
with international law. And they were always so going to work
together with the United Nations. So sure that so on
paper, it looks fine. But a lot of human rights organisations
say that it's going to be very, very difficult to do that.
Because the timeframes they have our very tight and it's hard to
to individually check on every person arriving in Greece in a
very short period of time. And then, of course, the human
rights record of Turkey. And what's happening in Turkey is a
concern for many. And we'll just have to see how this actually
plays out in real life. For now we have the words we have the
paper we've had that many times before in this migration crisis,
of course, in different settings, but many times it just
didn't work out on the ground. And why should it be different
this time? A lot of people still are sceptical.
So often in Brussels thing,
I was looking at a draft, I don't think this is the final
buy. We're talking to some draft that has come out but doesn't
mention and there's no mention of the money paid. But this
repatriation process is. It's lengthy. So we'll have to have
more on that hopefully a final document by Thursday with these
new additions that was talking about.
Maybe they'll think it'll fall apart like he says happened to
before. So
but it's so interesting to hear this discussion about
immigration versus the United States discussion about
immigration. In fact, I have a kind of a funny clip, just to
show you how, how delusional our politicians are Nancy Pelosi,
about US immigration. And she had a little of course Donald
Trump Republicans everyone's shit we hate everybody. They
hate people. They people have brown colours. Everybody hate
him hate him.
Today. However, the speaking of the court, House Republicans are
continuing to push their rate radical anti immigrant agenda.
before the Supreme Court House Republicans have brought forward
a resolution authorising the speaker to file an anti
immigrant amicus brief with the Supreme Court but they won't
tell the house or the American people what they are planning to
say in it. More Republicans yet again call for tearing apart
families and deporting dreamers with a yet again suggested
religious test for prospective immigrants.
Now hold on a second. I don't think a religious test has ever
been implemented. But okay, Nancy.
Well, they asked the court to explore and
doing this she's pulling that trick where she says Will they
ask Will they ask to have their nets cut off? Will they ask to
have come in and then have to give blowjobs or will they just
bullcrap she's just making this stuff up as she goes along? Will
they ask like well, you will you ask whether the you know you
should give it they had to come up with a million dollars to get
it will they ask and I love will they ask Will they ask where
these come from
political speak to confuse people about the horrible
Republicans.
They just test for prospective immigrants but wait for her of
her problem. Well, they asked the court to explore ending
birthright American citizenship. Sadly, there's not much
difference between Donald Trump and House Republicans when it
comes to the record of appalling anti immigrant status and
hauling an agenda of discrimination. Now listen to
her example and listen to our explanation. It's ironic that
they're filing they're having this vote on St. Patrick's Day.
Last night, we had a celebration of our Irish American heritage.
While I do not have Irish grandparents, I do have Irish
grandchildren. And one of them was there at the dinner. And we
talked about immigration, the rest of the tea shop, talked
about, the Prime Minister of Ireland talked about immigration
when he was here at the speaker's lunch. So and what
it's about is all the Irish who are here 70 50,000, who were
here, who couldn't even go home for a family funeral.
Now, she says 50s All of the she's, she's confusing. It says
all of the 50,000 Irish who are here who can't even go home for
a funeral. And why can't they go home for a funeral?
All the Irish who are here 70 50,000 who are here, who
couldn't even go home for a family funeral? Because the law
would not allow them to come back into the country. And why
can't they come back into the country? Nancy? They are not
here. So we say fully documented. And we need
to mean they're here illegally. Not fully documented? Wow. Not
fully, yes. When you're here illegally, and you leave, you
want to come back in, you may trip an alarm,
go home for a family funeral, because the law would not allow
them to come back into the country. They are not here. So
we say fully documented. And we need to change the law
comprehensive immigration reform it is a shock that's asked for
that over and over again.
They're not here to fully document. That's what
the immigration reform is all about. Letting people stay.
Yeah, yeah, they overstay their visa. Yeah. I got a lot
of comments from people who said I was not entirely correct on
the exit process in the US. Indeed, as you pointed out,
there are some crossovers with airlines, particularly if you
leave and come back in and you overstayed the first time. That
is when you may get caught. But it definitely is not the same as
as other countries where they Where's actual border patrol
doing the exit process which is the only comprehensive and the
pricing and by the way, getting away from Department of Homeland
Security that's the problem. You need to get the the policing
part is get that away. Guys are horrible. They don't they do not
improve the my daughter. Maybe you remember when she lost two
passports and they put her on the on the shit list. Now for
three years in a row, she has to go to the embassy pay 200 euros
she gets a one year passport. She says well, when can I get my
10 year passport again now that we're not ready for it yet. We
don't trust you. Because she lost her pet one was stolen one
was lost. That's Department of Homeland Security for you.
American citizen born in America.
Yeah, that's terrible. Let's go to something I picked up just
casually. This writer kind of talking about the internet. And
he was one of these guys who decided to get on is Douglas
Rushkoff, very well known writer and he's got some book out about
the internet or, you know, future or something?
I'm not sure. Yeah, he's a pleasure. So
he drew a huge millennial audience that asking the
questions because of you know what they need to know what's
going on? And I listened to these questions. i By the way, I
have also heard this on an earlier clip, and I've heard
Bernie do this, where you talk about something and you're
you're yakking about it? Gong mask. cars out there, by the
way, and you know, the ocean their thing is that is the What
are you talking about?
That's exactly what I mean. Okay, you got me, what are you
saying?
This sort of chat where you're just throwing in random stuff,
right. And Bernie, I had a clip, I'm gonna have to track this
clip down. I had it. I lost it. Were Bernie's yakking away and
he throws in just a little phrase in the middle of nowhere.
It's got nothing to do with what he's talking about. So let's
listen to millennials. They had the question and answer part. I
got three clips
and the guy was so good. The guy's name again.
This is Douglas Rushkoff is he's giving speeches on C span book
TV. I was told we have two people coming up to ask
questions. And I want you I'm going to start it start with
this is nonsense. Question one, I want you to try to tell me
after this question is asked or maybe you could try to answer
this question.
You began with the argument that velocity of money superior, you
articulated a bunch of ways in which community based solutions
can develop real goods that are both economic and social and
moral and all those sorts of things. But at some point along
the way, you noted Oh, man, you still are going to have your
iPhone that got made here and there and so I'm really curious
about where is the division between this community based
economy this prioritisation of the velocity of money? And one
of the things that either must or ought remain in a more
industrialised society.
Yeah. What did what was the question? I don't understand the
question.
Is that like, outrageous? Yeah. Muster OT. And at the very
beginning, he throws just throws a word in. This is the
millennial. And they can't formulate simple questions, and
they intermix. And this is something I think is nice and
more steady. They intermix commentary with speeches with
pet peeves with the question, and then the question is
confusing. And they drove buzzwords in velocity of money.
What's that got to do with any? What
is the borrow? What is? What is the velocity of money?
I've heard this is a buzz phrase. And I'd have to look it
up. All right, see what it says.
Velocity of Money can refer to the income velocity of money,
which is the frequency at which the average unit of currency is
used to purchase new domestically produced goods and
services within a given time period. In other words, it is
the number of times $1 is spent to buy goods and services per
unit of time.
Wow. So let's get to the question. I have no idea. What
else is nonsense question? Whatever it is. Let's go to the
next guy. Okay, good. This is nonsense question. The Wait,
hold on. This is nonsense. Question. Topper. Oh, Topper.
All right.
Question about the global conversation conversations are
there. I mean, like, for example, Wikipedia, or sort of
decentralised opportunities where the global aspect of it
allows for certain virtues that I think fit with with what
you're talking about. I'm just wondering how how we sort of
differentiate between those two. Does that make sense?
No. In fact, the West Coast says, No,
I'm gonna hear that again. What the hell are these guys? I mean,
listen to your question
about the global conversation. Are there
what global conversation? I mean, oh, God, this guy's
horrible.
Da, da.
I mean, like, for example, Wikipedia, or sort of
decentralised opportunities where the global aspect of it
allows for certain virtues that I think fit with with what
you're talking about. I'm just wondering how how we sort of
differentiate between those two. Does that make sense?
The guy says no, so he goes into part two of the that he
reiterates the same question. So we're gonna hear the same guy
after Rushkoff was even too confused to say anything. And he
tries to answer the second when he does it again, this Play Part
Two, and you'll see it he's elaborating on this, whatever
that question was, Okay.
How we differentiate between some of the global opportunities
that that allow us to first find the niche out there of all the,
you know, the weird people that we want for that small, but also
be able to have the, you know, the Encyclopaedia that can beat
out the Microsoft encyclopaedia because we've got the whole
world or you know, or blockchain possibilities I don't mean
Bitcoin, but the possibility of you know,
Blockchain possibilities Wow. This is this a millennial in
school? Or is it someone not in school? I can't tell because
they have their back and this is this is the education you're
paying 100 grand for ladies and gentlemen, right here blockchain
opportunity,
because we've got the whole world or you know, or blockchain
possibilities, I don't mean Bitcoin, but the possibility of
global voting and things of that nature, new world order higher,
and also, a conversation about, you know, nation states are
probably not going to be the solution to most of our major
climate problems, we're gonna have to have some kind of global
coalition or initiative. I'm just wondering where you see the
virtuous possibilities. I completely see where you're
going with the local and I completely agree, but I'm just
wondering if where you leave the solution space for the virtuous
globe? I say the solution
space. Yeah, hold on. Hold on. One second. John. Just let me
the semiya commit suicide. Listen to that. That's this is
crazy.
This is cognitive dissonance, which the millennials suffer
from many of them and this is these examples. Just to listen
to these two people just throwing you just throw and
buzzwords out just they don't they're it's incoherent
with a blockchain opportunity not talking about Bitcoin Okay,
and anyone who knows even I know this is the completely nutso
statement that somehow is part of the world and global voting
and yeah, you know, this has not worked in the history of the
world. Turns out people don't like each other.
This is true. It says,
well, one thing we take away from me, John, is the velocity
of money.
The take away oops, I think global voting and global warming
global
voting global global warming blockchain not Bitcoin Hey,
I'm gonna show my school but donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
John, let's check out some blockchain opportunities not
Bitcoin.
Yeah, well, that's what we've got here. We got a few people
that think and process sir bas Vaughn but toe in bateau Bay,
New South Wales, Australia $80.90. And he says he hasn't
caused the cost of a donation for a while now. He's doing it
very nice. Howard Allah row $80.51 from Wurster Wooster,
Massachusetts Baronet Sara Bradley and Forrest Ville,
California. She needs some relationship karma we can put
put that at the end. All right, Richard Gardner in Chicago 8008.
Nice. And Baronet Sarah Bradley, by the way is the only one who
donated 8009 for this show. 809 good and we did make a request
for this but in the in the note that was sent out in the last
newsletter and so we got one good to see the sad puppy back.
That is the sad puppy didn't help that much. No. But I'm
gonna bring keep the sad puppy there for a while. Sir Blake in
Los Angeles, California 70 brand these are the $70 donors, which
was the weird number that was explained in the newsletter.
Very strange definition that Wikipedia recommend people go
read is quite interesting. And 70 is the lowest weird number
you can find. Sir Blake in Los Angeles Bryan Singer which
SIdora wits I think in Harrisburg New York. New store
SIdora what's rad do per tuck in gross. I'll Michigan 70 These

Nevada. Jason Daniels in Dallas, Texas. Josh Mandel in
Greenville, South Carolina. Steven Whalen in Milford
Michigan, and he's got something here note and read. What does it
say?
I TM guys please call out Jeff rice as a douchebag. He needs a
good amount to start with after listening for two years.
Well, then he asked for suggestions. I think you should
give him a suggestion Steven. Michael Zelena in Lakewood,
Ohio, Eric Knoll and Myka Dano, Georgia. Brian Leslie in
Bremerton, Washington. Zaman Marciniak in Poland. Oh,
that's one of our first from Poland. Yeah,
well, no, we've been known for Poland. I'm probably pronouncing
the name wrong because Polish names, as they're pronounced in
Poland are quite hard to pronounce for Americans. Yes.
Darrin turbo Ville in Healdsburg, California wine
country, Stephen Baker and Hoover, Alabama. And that
concludes our 70 word number donors. Good group. We're gonna
I'm gonna keep that up going until we have 100 Weird donors
finally donating all right, sir Rick, in Arlington, Washington.
6933 Black Knights are inside jobs in Seattle. 6666 Jason
Richmond in Redford, Michigan 58 Dean Roker in Great Britain

Indiana. Diana Carruthers in Tumwater, Washington. Simon horn
in Manly Queensland. And that's it very shortlist today. And I
want to thank all these people and the ones that gave lesser
amounts because of the need for anonymity or they just didn't
feel like given that much. Yeah. For sure. Oh, 809. Thank you.
Yes.
Yeah, could have could have been better.
Yeah, that little sad dog.
That dog did not did not bring it to us. Right.
Yeah. Well, we do appreciate every check in your boxes. If
you didn't get the newsletter, see what happened. Yeah, see
if there's some spam issue going on. Thank you. Again, as John
said, especially people under $50, who did not get mentioned
your monthly subscriptions are highly appreciated, to support
the show to support the work. Which I was thinking, Do we
remind people enough of the value of the programme and how
you can compare it to other things? Or is that
I don't think so. I don't think we do anything enough
apparently. Well, going by the low number of donors today that
we probably need to remind them more.
Just a reminder, you can listen this programme as for free for
as long as you want. You don't have to do anything. Just ask
yourself Did you receive any value from it? Was it comparable
to any other value? Like a cup of coffee? Or something like
theatre get go to have a date?
Go to Broadway play and become an instant night?
easily easily. Please support the programme.org/and a coma for
everybody who needs it?

thank you. It really enables us to do this crazy stuff all full
show is good old time books go back
and listen to their last show which was a masterpiece of
growing the number of people who resulted in less donations I
find that to always be peculiar
from television I recall so many times man Great show fantastic
we really kicked ass ratings rather it's like it's like the
law of media when when the crew and I went oh, we did a great
job the audience oh great job ratings that luckily we don't
have to deal with ratings Thank Goodness
So did you get a clip see I did this this looks pretty long.
Yeah, so you can play as long as you want so I got the I got the
scam call finally I made these this and
oh I didn't I didn't know about this okay what
it is this cool. So I got to scam call and this time so I
went and luckily it was great because sometimes you get this
scam call and you you want to record it but the way you can
record legally generally speaking in California since
there's all these rules about wiretaps is you put on a
speakerphone and there's no any record from the speakerphone. So
you just record the speaker phone conversation. Okay, so I
luckily this call came in which I couldn't record in time. So
saying that I was being audited by the IRS. I'm going to be
arrested. Yes. I'm going to be arrested. And I better call this
number right away.
This is the scam that we talked about on the show a couple of
weeks ago.
And it's great. All righty. And it's all it's out of India.
Somebody's got to cheapest lines.
That was this you talking to the scammer? Yeah. Dynamite
like called I called the number I got my put the recorder on and
recorded the call. And here's how it went. Call may be
recorded for secure.
Thank you for calling the Internal Revenue Service.
Yeah, I got a phone call to say that call you
received a phone call and the same number you're calling from?
Yeah. Okay. May I have your first and last name? Yeah. Frank
Roosevelt. Hello? Hello. Yes, Frank. Frank Roosevelt.
This is takes me back to the day of the Jerky Boys. Fabulous.
Okay, we should Rosenwald May I have your zip code, please?
Yeah. 94707.
Okay, Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr. Roosevelt, what a fine administration you put together
back in the day.
I believe that earlier when you received the phone call, we were
trying to obtain your attorneys information as there are legal
allegations on your name. And the lawsuit has also been filed
by the Internal Revenue Service. So are you aware about the case?
No, I never heard of it until now.
Okay, soak in a bit of a piece of paper and a pen with you.
Yeah, hang on one second. Okay, go ahead.
First of all, not as number okay. It is to zero to one one.
Okay. And also not down. If my badge ID
my badge ID Yeah, what is it? It is 7121712
Did you say badge ID or badge ID was little unclear.
Just 712317181031712031?
Correct. Okay.
I love the boiler room in the background, boiler room.
And this guy does these long pauses in the boiler when it
comes to the volume comes up? Yeah. This is like six
compressors,
shitty compression. It's just sucking in sweat sucking in all
the background. Okay, what else? Now
listen to me very carefully. Recently, an audit programme was
conducted on your tax returns for the taxes that you have
filed in between the years of 20 09 to 2013. I believe that
you do file your taxes every year, right? Yes, I do. So the
auditors calculated your tax returns on the basis of your
financial institutions and sources of income. Now they came
to know that there are a numerical miscalculation on your
tax returns no
numerical miscalculations. Are you worried at this point? Are
you really are you are you sweating it?
The indexes that you find are not matching with the actual
records that we have under your name. And so go on below. So at
this point of time,
you stopped. So he does this a lot throughout here. Hello.
Hello. Because apparently the line is so quiet on my site at
ease. There's two things going on one he thinks I hung up. And
he thinks that because apparently because I did a
little research before I call this operation. People hang up.
Of course. So they're hanging up in the middle of everything and
I
would have been I would have been gone when he said a lot.
Click on
when I had to so when I did the research, I had found that a lot
that these guys on their side would hang up on the caller a
lot when they started grilling him or saying anything a little
off base. The guy just hang up and go to the next person. So I
had to be careful that they didn't hang up on me. Curiously,
by the time this was done as you do I know we're gonna get that
far. And this time I'm kind of liking it. I have to say, well,
at the very end the guy hangs up on me. And he hung up on me why?
Don't blow
it. Let's listen to it. Okay, good. I want to hear. Could you
also give us the number everyone in the chat room wants to call A
friend, their new Indian friend,
I will get to number. It's called. I have the numbers
we should all call Hello, this is Frank Roosevelt's
Rosewood calling back coming back. You look up the number
one, the amount that you have somehow miscalculated on your
tax returns the amount. Because of that reason we have to
forward your case data for the federal courthouse in Washington
DC. Within 45 minutes to one hour,
what did he say? But House in Washington DC? What did he say?
He said that they're going to file their complaint in 45
minutes.
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
For a while, why go get the number. All right, good.
Within 45 minutes to an hour. But before we do that, we have
to ask you for your questions as well. Okay, go ahead. My first
question would be that evident this miscalculations by any
intention to defraud the Internal Revenue Service or no.
indentured service is what I heard. I don't know if that's
John's probably getting the number.
No, no, of course not.
I gotta ask John, what he said. Did you have any indentured
servants or something? No. Listen, that again. That was
pretty weird.
The Internal Revenue Service
or Internal Revenue Service? No. Here we go,
intention to
defer the Internal Revenue Service our intention to inform
the Revenue Service or the Internal Revenue Service. Oh,
intensely trial fraud them oh my god. That you said did you
intentionally try to defraud the Internal Revenue Service? Is
that what he said? Yeah,
that was crazy. Oh, no, you of course not.
So you have not done this miscalculations by any
intention.
Now, they will make no sense. Why would I do that? What was
the number one way how much do I Oh, can I just pay it?
At this point of time, Mr. Rosenwald there is a an
understanding tax liability of $2,411 still pending on your
name. Now if you have not done this miscalculations by any
intention, then according to the Federal Courthouse, there are
two options available with
you go here we go. Does it involve your your credit card at
any point, John?
Curiously,
well, this mentor would like me to go through them. Yes, yes,
please. All right, according to federal courthouse option number
one states that if you think that there is nothing wrong with
your tax returns if you have enough evidence to prove these
things, then you can hire a criminal Yeah, go ahead
go hire criminal lawyer
then in that case, you you can hire a criminal attorney and
dispute the case in inside the courthouse.
Oh, nice. Oh, that's a thank you for calling me I feel so much
better now. I
did DCF I'm protected
I'm protected. Okay.
What's the other option
number two stage that if you're not looking for any legal access
to be taken on your name the script it's
having a lot of trouble with it. It's almost there almost we're
almost at the big pail go on.
Yes, option number two stage Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Can you hear me sir? Yeah, I can hear you fine. All
right, option number two stage that if you're not looking for
any legal actions to be taken on your name if you if you're not
looking forward to avoid Hello Hello? Sir Hello. Hello. Hello.
Breaking Sir Hello. Well,
your line is breaking but your line is breaking. It's a very
poor line. I'm surprised that the IRS has such a crappy crappy
phone line.
This is the audit and commission department. So what else can you
expect him to say? What did he say was his answer
he says is the auditing department. What else can you
expect? That's funny. This is such a crisis only ad lib the
whole time. This
is great. It was a good one though.
I learned Hello. Yeah. What? Breaking
your line is breaking. Your line is breaking is a very poor line.
I'm surprised that the IRS has such a crappy crappy phone line.
Well, Mr. ASOs, this is the audit and commission department.
So what else can you expect for that? So not really sure option
number two states that if you're looking forward not to have any
illegal actions to be taken on your name, then you can go for a
settlement outside the courthouse and the Internal
Revenue Service. Oh, good. option would you choose?
Settlements probably cheaper? which option do you choose?
Settlements cheaper.
So my settlement human to say you're looking forward to move
with option number two?
Yes, I can pay that easy.
Okay. The chat room was guessing $500. So far, it may be more or
less we'll find out.
Can I just let me just write a check to the IRS.
No, no. No,
no. Hello. Yes. Can I Can I just write a check? I'm
concerned. Mr. Ross was in debt concerned. Mr. Oswald, I would
like to inform you that your banking information? Your bank?
Hello. Yes. In that concern, Mr. Oswald, I would like to inform
you that the record the ranking information that we have under
your name, states that Yes, hello. Hello. Yeah.
Oh, did you get did you give the wrong answer?
I guess so because it was he couldn't find it on the script.
He said start off by saying the banking information under your
name is then there was a pause. And then he was fumbling around
through the script, which is probably pretty big. So he's
fumbling around looking for what is it called jump cuts, what
does I think called skip logic, skip logic. He's looking around
for the skip logic. And you know, skipping to the thing. He
can't find it in time and they just cut him off or they cut he
they kind of Mohit gamblers hung up. I have no idea. But I got
the number people can call it.
All right. Well, hold on first. You deserve this. Clip.
Bye. Right on
the number we put a lot of effort in this show. Kidding. So
all right. Give us an All right, here's the
number that he gave. And there's apparently a bunch of these. If
you look this number up, you'll find alternative numbers. In
fact, if you look up IRS scam, you will find a bunch of numbers
to call when we want the exact number you call so we can try
and the number I called was 81381361461456935693.
And can I have the last four of your social please? Yeah, I have
it is 1115. Okay, and see what I did before I made the call. I
did. I figured out the name I wanted. It was going to be frank
David Roosevelt, FDR. And I created a social security number
which they never asked for, which really stunned me. 6463333
you get it? Yeah. 1115. But I never used it. I never used it
and a half because he never asked for it. But I would if I
was one of the jokers out there who are going to call this and
record say your Frank Delon or Frank Roosevelt calling back
because you hope they hung up on you. If you could, you heard the
call, like, take it from there. Take it from there,
I think I will call is Frank Underwood. I have no idea why
you've been calling me Mr. India.
So you could do probably use pretty much any name. And they
these guys are in India sounds like and they're in a huge
boiler room. And they're just ripping people off to the
government. Our government has the phone number I just gave it
out. It's well known. If you look it up on the internet, you
can find a bunch of people moaning about this. And I don't
understand why they just don't crack they'll find these guys
and just throw them in the slammer.
Is it possible that this phone call cost you $9.95 per minute?
I hope not. It's bound. There's some
speculation is unlikely on my sonic.net connection with all
free calls. And by the way, one thing I did before I called was
you I cleansed your back turned off call caller ID Very good.
Very good. Turn that off. Just in case. Fun. No, I like it.
I'm going to do that to me. I'm gonna grab one of those guys to
I'm on the list and get keep getting calls. And while you're
watching Book TV, Mr. Doric. I was watching the Appropriations
Committee for the armed forces. This is where they all go in and
ask for money or more money. We're up to almost $600 billion.
There's a whole Ash Carter thing that I'm still We'll be
dissecting for Thursday show. But we got the two statements
from the guys who of course counts. We have General Daniel
alynn. aligned. Alan, Alan Alan. Gentlemen, Daniel Allen. And
he's from the army, of course. Let's see, do we think he has
enough money? Can he continue to go? Will it work?
Can I guess? Can I guess? Yeah. He doesn't have enough
money. We are absolutely committed to delivering trained
and ready forces in support of our combatant commanders. That
is job one for us. For the United States Army, we delivered
91% of what our combatant commanders asked for, in terms
of known requirements for this past year. That sounds good 91%.
That's an A in many schools across the country with Common
Core. But that 9% gap is unacceptable to a Combat
Commander. And we recognise that in addition to that the Army has
delivered 64% of the emerging requirements that came out
during this past year of their total requirements. So 64% of
what they asked for that was unpredicted at the beginning of
the year, we delivered. Oh, and of course, the problem with that
is that came out of our surge capacity build. So while we're
trying to generate surge capacity for contingencies, we
must continue to answer the emerging requirements that are
validated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the secretary
of defence. And the end result of that is I do not have a level
of comfort that we are ready for a contingency of a major scale
against our peer adversaries. And therefore I am very
uncomfortable with the trajectory of our drawdown right
now. And I do believe it's it's time for a strategic review of
is that what is best for our nation.
No. All right. couching round a little bit, but it's clear we
can't get to 100% this is not Merkin way. Let's talk to the
Marines General John Paxton
we do all of that at the expense of our bench strength we have
tonight forces which are ready. Who's ready?
I don't know what that is bench strength.
Yeah, I know what it is. It's a basketball reference. Oh.
What does it mean?
It means you got your teams on that you got five guys out there
playing then you got guys on the bench that's gonna come
in and that's your bench strength what you have on the
bench?
I get it. Yeah, you got the standard they can be crap they
can be crummy. They can be good as you know, as a strength as a
quick
as a quick aside, they brought a basketball last night, like what
news is on and then all of a sudden something about March
Madness comes on. And Tina goes Oh, turn it up. Like what Kim
was? So guess what? So she she'd participated in the pool? At her
at work? Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. And of course she yeah brackets
and she knows nothing about sports. Well, she does but she
says I don't I just filled in some stuff. That I guess there
was some weird loss there was some upset
Oh, yeah. Big big weird plus, it was a Michigan State. Yeah. Tina
had called it
winning in the pool. Yeah.
That'll wipe everybody out. Did this skull of that bracket
Buster one team like that. That should nobody in their right
mind would pick against them.
Tina, the bracket Buster bracket poster. Oh, yeah,
I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win. I'm gonna send me your brackets.
Beautiful. All right back to
the Marines. And we do all of that at the expense of our bench
strength. We have tonight forces which are ready tomorrow night,
which is ready, then everything else is that some degraded state
of readiness, whether it's personnel training, leadership
equipment, and that is not only mortgaging the future, but
that's mortgaging the surge capability to fight an
operations plan against a known adversary where we're banking to
have good indications and warning adequate lift and right
time so I worry about the capability and the capacity to
win in a major fight somewhere else right now.
We need adequate lift. Wow.
should fire that guy? That should fire all of it. Lift the
bench strength Give me a break. Talk English I
know. Oh, that's jargon, jargon. jargon. Just jargon.
Hey, you know what? To one of these congressmen that none of
them have the guts to say anything bad about the military.
But one of just to say one simple thing. Well, you know, we
I think what you find more money for you. If we audit the
Pentagon, there's probably a lot of we've already lost over a
trillion dollars or something's just missing.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, they're talking seven to 8 trillion 8
trillion. Yeah, 8 trillion. Yeah. I know. They got a budget
of 600 million.
600 billion billion. Yeah. 600 billion
and like, it's hard to fathom. And they don't even know where
the money's going. It's outrageous digits. Unacceptable.
That right there is the reason why Donald Trump can't become
president. These guys. Yeah,
I agree right there.
that's gonna be the the problem.
That's where all the money is just follow that
even though it improve everything is getting the
corruption get rid of the corruptions corruption and
carelessness. You know, if you got to check for example, just
some because of some careless, stupid reason, a check in the
mail, you gotta check in the mail for Mononoke $250,000 from
some from the Pentagon. And it said, you know, consulting
services. Lovely. Yeah, just showed up in your box. You
didn't do anything you didn't check in any way. What would you
do with that chick? demanded, they take it back hookers and
blow
right off the bat. Before I even cash it, I'm just gonna think
Oh, good. That's what's going on. Let's go now. Boom. Yeah, I
found a really good deconstruction of on our T,
which kind of makes sense of the but something you brought to the
show a couple episodes ago about Germany and the Energiewende.
And the lawsuits now pending against the German government
and Angela Merkel from the nuclear power plants, who were
forced to shut down. And what I like about this RTX report is
they go back and they have a little clip of the original
announcement by Merkel, when she said hey, this ended they have
nicely translated and I looked at translation is very accurate.
And then of course, we go into what is what this means and what
is happening right now in Germany,
for Hendricks has already said quote, the government will not
agree to any deals. The decision to shut nuclear reactors down
step by step was taken by an angle and Merkel's government
shortly after Japan's Fukushima disaster back in 2011. Those of
us in this fight we will abandon nuclear power completely step by
step until the end of 2022. And this path is a big challenge for
Germany. But above all, it means huge opportunities for future
generations. As a country we think that we can become
pioneers on the way to create an age of renewable energies but
since then, the German nuclear companies have seen their
profits collapse Germany has increased its use of so called
green energy such as wind and solar. But despite the country
calling a halt to nuclear energy production, it continues it
continues to buy and use it from other countries like France go
to the Format oh yeah,
this is great. You're gonna get a we're gonna get a former
politician cool lady. She's retired but she hits Jesus grey
long hair and you know just all its she looks dynamite really
interesting lady to look at. And she calls out Merkel the way
it's correctly
continues to buy and use it from other countries like France.
Gertrude holer, the former adviser to German Chancellor
Helmut Kohl sees controversy behind such a policy
drivers
problem for all neighbour countries. That's the first
point. She didn't ask anybody to go in the same direction. She
bought in she buys until today. Nuclear energy from our
neighbours, neighbour smell for us it is too dangerous to have
those companies on our ground. But some kilometres from that.
The French nuclear companies would have the same problem when
there's an accident. As if it fell on our ground. It is a
dullard ideology he or she makes
yes it is ideology. So
the funny irony to this new thing that we're doing there is
that if any country should be running an operating nukes it
would seem to me to be the Germans Yeah.
Yeah, but its ideology and this as the report correctly pointed
out right after Fukushima but shutting it all down and I
thought occurred to me this deal that they have and of course
mainly due to the Germans are heavily involved in the turkey
EU deal. What is there any way so anyone who comes over gets
sent back then you take it one that's registered? There's
nothing as far as I can tell in this deal that would stop Turkey
from letting a whole bunch of people go just let them go. Just
have a continuous stream of crap you want I mean,
yeah, I don't know what's gonna happen. Anyway, is it for the
nukes?
Yeah, that's what I have something else. unreported?
Strange. I don't know why
a California student who went on a stabbing rampage on his
college campus was inspired by ISIS. The FBI says five Muhammad
appeared to be self radicalised, motivated from terrorists.
propaganda that he found where else online they say he acted
alone when he stabbed four people during the November
attack Muhammad was killed by campus police after the Rampage
this does not fit the narrative. This is not good. A knife
yeah nice well this knife thing has become you we talked about
in the recent show the stabbing, replacing shooting. Yeah, in the
in the in the millennials scription of their complaints
whenever like I'm gonna stab that guy. Right right right stab
Trump, you know instead of shoot shoot, right
so he probably was really radical self radicalised. But he
the FBI either screwed up or didn't get to him in time. It
didn't get him you know the weapons he needed to
do this. Yeah, they weren't paying attention. I'm gonna read
I got under the radar.
I gotta I gotta read the complaint. I gotta read the
complaint. See what see if they were setting them up or not?
Just odd.
Was there a complaint as they killed him? Oh, I guess there
won't be a complaint then will there? No, there won't be
anything you won't be able to find out anything. Well, that
sucks. Yeah, totally. Ah,
not really tech news. I'll just slide it in as kind of tech news
because I really liked that this happened for the people in
question for in general, I thought it was very, something
very good. That happened but it totally falls under the category
that Hogan sued Gawker Media for $100 million. After they posted
a video in 2012 of him having sex with a woman, Hogan argued
it was a violation of his privacy, and today his lawyers
called the verdict of victory for privacy.
This is not only his victory today, but also anyone else
who's been victimised by tabloid journalism.
gawkers lawyers had attempted to prove that the video was
protected under the First Amendment and that it was a
newsworthy commentary on Celebrity sex videos. Gawker's
founder has said they intend to appeal the case
100 million dollars by love that screw those guys. Gawker, pig
Gawker. Yeah, they took it too far. That's interesting that
that turned out that way. We'll see how
they every everyone wants to kind of like fashion themselves
at some point. And Gawker is like one of them after TMZ.
Exactly. And they don't realise that that get Levin character,
the guy who runs it. He's like a heavy duty attorney that knows
what he's doing. And so far, is that what you can get away with
without getting your ass sued?
I didn't know that. I didn't know he was an attorney.
Yeah, in fact, he's on one. I think he's on the the People's
Court. I think it is where he got to start on television.
Really. He's the guy at the end on the People's Court show with
not Judge Judy, which is more popular, but this other woman
took over from Judge Wapner. He's at the end asking these
questions and then sometimes discussing and legal issues as
to what why this case should have gone this way or that way.
He's like a, you know, just a guy. It's not like, he's not
like to TMZ guy he's like some other guy.
Right? Who knows how to roll with this stuff and make good
decisions? Yeah, apparently. Well, screw those guys at
Gawker. Anyway, all right. Anything else? Yeah, I
got one more. This is the last thing. Back
flu season is getting worse in the US and Washington state is
no exception. The CDC says each week the number of people going
to the doctor for flu like symptoms rises, the mainstream
doctors are seeing h one and one right the swine flu that hit
hard in 2009. The King County Health Department also reports
mostly cases of the swine flu. Doctors say it's never too late
to get a vaccine.
Swine Flu with
that bringing it back maybe I can't believe that. But I guess
so.
Totally. Yeah. Why not? We got to be Zika. We got everything.
This beautiful. Well, the last thing I had that I played today
is of course, this Flint Michigan thing has become a
political football.
Yeah. And maybe for international producers. You
just give a quick update.
Yeah, the state of Detroit, Michigan as a state is bankrupt,
and mainly kind of a cascade effect because of Detroit going
bankrupt. Michigan. You're gonna have Michigan's technically
bankrupt but Detroit isn't they have to deal with all these
little towns around Detroit. And the whole thing is a mess. And
there's this old town called Flint, Michigan. And it is one
of the we used to be a big factory town and now it's just a
depressed mess. And they had to put a I think it's part of the
part of the bankruptcy project. They put a special prosecutor,
not a prosecutor, special administrator in charge of that
little town. And the guy it's been a year or two ago decided
just In a way to save money, switch the water supply from A
to B, right. And B just turns out to be that polluted Flint
River and is filled with lead and all kinds of horrible
things. Yeah. And so over a year or so, the people who started
getting lead poisoning from the drinking water and it became a
big scandal as it is now. And they didn't know who to blame.
So they're blaming the governor because he's, and I blame him
too. I think he's partly responsible. But the EPA got
hammered by this because they didn't do anything. The EPA is
so involved in global warming, they can't really do their job.
I watched a lot of lots of water that a lot of the testimony
really wasn't clippable because it's just guys yelling, yelling
all the time.
I think Chafee Chaffetz Chafee Chaffetz would be our buddy from
Utah. Yeah, goes after the administrator. And I think this
was the best clip and this and this woman who took over the EPA
from the arrogant other woman, and she's just kind of Irish.
Gina McCarthy, Gina McCarthy, if you're Irish, and she starts off
by but as he's starting to berate her, she's looking around
and like rolling her eyes and, and then he spots that and it's
tell him stop. And she gets very contrite. And then he rips into
her. This is a very good clip
in February is when you first arrived on the scene. And it
wasn't until January of the next year that she actually did
something. That's the fundamental problem. Don't look
around like you're minified. That's what happened. Miguel del
Toro showed up in February, you didn't take action you didn't.
And you could have pulled that twist persistently took action
from that point forward. Claire is this There are a lot of
people in this audience from Flint. So nobody believes that
you took action. You had those levers there. Mark Edwards, from
Virginia Tech, bless his heart. No, just listen for a second had
the opportunity. They have said things like we failed to get EPA
to take lead in water risk seriously, it's possible.
Another quote of is, and this is possible because the EPA had has
effectively condone cheating on the lead and copper rule
monitoring since 2006. He read your op ed that you put out that
was one of the most offensive things I can possibly imagine.
And he says about you, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy that
effectively absolved EPA of any wrongdoing or any role in
creating the flint debt disaster, if you want to do the
courageous thing, like you said, Susan Hedman did then you too
should resign.
Resign she did not respond to that.
I saw it. She had a sad look on her face though. Yeah, she
did have a sad look on her face. Well, I'm sad these children are
poisoned. Yeah, but it's
not even played up as much as it should be.
But it's all it's all lead pipes. This isn't this is not
the last we're going to hear of these kinds of stories. Yeah,
there's a lot of stuff there. And apparently Texas. The water
in Texas is not so good either. I'm following the story a bit
like oh, the lead pipes. All right now is there a game
tonight? Isn't it the Warriors playing tonight?
Now the Warriors played last night they're playing a couple
of days. How'd they do? They lost. They lost their seventh
game of the year which is 62 and seven are such an outrage
expected to win this game. It's an outrage to an outrage
outrageous
