You're going to be at the bottom of the list.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, April 24 2016. And time once again for your gizmo nation
media assassination episode 819. This is no agenda. PAISLEY
impressive ready for the pummeling in the New World Order
and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone Star state
of the region six in Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, why'd you not have such
an IT? What do you call it? Introduction? I'm John C.
Dvorak. Gill.
Best opening ever. Probably. Your volume was so low and the
way you sound it was almost like well, he has the Hillary Clinton
disease
which I've been told by one of our one of our medical producers
could possibly be signs of Ms. Because she can't she's she is
actually choking in her own saliva when that happens.
That's kind of a stretch. But the funny thing is that, that I
thought that myself
really Oh, I didn't I never thought of that Matt says as
well. I
the reason I thought of it is it's it's her the way she
carries herself has a certain I've seen it before. Listen,
let's listen to that, again from from Thursday show.
There's always the threat of sexism and unfair treatment. But
you've got to learn to deal with it, which I have over the years.
And my voice is failing here. But let me just quickly say I
went to Beijing in 1995 and said women's rights or human rights
law anyway, one of our producers said You know, I've heard this
I've seen it, I know what it is. This is I believe she's choking
on her saliva. That's for each MS patient the symptoms can be
very different MS affects the ability of the brain to control
fine motor control of various systems from head to toe. So
that would mean that I guess her her peristaltic auto auto
peristaltic motions or being disabled or something like that.
I did to me when she did that, it's I've had you just kind of
so dry and parched, that you sound like that. I don't know.
The coughing bothers me. And the way she carries herself is
somewhat problematic. I hope she doesn't have Ms. vaulty. That's
a horrible thing to have. That's
pretty lame. But today wrecker.
Of course. Yeah. And it's degenerative, it just gets
worse and worse. Eventually, she'll have to submit to some
kind of medical testing, but I
don't think it may already have been diagnosed and she's just
holding it.
They just want her brain in a jar in the White House in the
Oval.
Just Futurama has Dick Nixon's that's exactly
what it is. Headed a jar. That's exact metal. Must all we need
has all we need.
Now, okay. Well, you want to start off and to get the Prince
Prince. Oh, the Prince. Prince. Yeah.
Well, so we found to
have insight because you dev you've done Prince, that you
talk to him. You've at least
met him. I've worked with him have had interesting scenarios.
And it was kind of uncanny. No, not uncanny was like, really?
After the show, of course, we found out the prince had died on
the show. And then I looked at my phone and I've got CNN,
MSNBC, everybody is like hey, can you come on the air and talk
about your experience at MCA but with friends and it was the same
woman who had hung up on me when they call me from Michael
Jackson and I said AI see we need to consider the the
possibility that he was murdered and remember they hung up on me
here's the same woman
this is fruit that the none of this is like it's all crazy. I'm
reminded of an agent I won't mention his name. But as far as
I know he sells them pig in a poke over and over again. You
know high numbers high value books never perform over and
over and over for years is his business. And I asked him how do
you get away that this this is a crappy book that you sold to
this guy doesn't matter because the book The by the buyers and
all these companies are the low end guys. They come in they go
they don't remember. They have no like the memory but in your
case, I remember they have no collective memory.
They just go down the list and like oh, hey, first VJ on the
list, Adam Okay, good. We'll take him even though Well,
while back Though it was a while back, yeah,
but But I checked it and it's exactly the same producer from
MSNBC only now she's working for Matthews I think. And Don Lemon
want to come with Don Lemon show? And I'm like, no, no, no.
Why? Yeah. Why? To be with every other aihole who say, Oh, I
remember when I when I smelled him. It was great. Oh, it's such
a lost love and light. And then I swear to God, do I say no to
this? And I say see downtown Julie Brown, taking the Don
Lemon sloth. And sure shooting below or third X MTV VJ reflects
on Prince. Like who the hell wants that?
I mean, just imagine agenda show plug. I mean,
like podcaster reflects on Prince Jeff. You know, they
would have done some shitty
like, yes, yes. They're not very they're not mean I'm not. But
so a buddy of mine did call me who I used to do the radio show
with in Holland.
And I stopped me for a second of course. Of course, of course.
They have all these. There's like two themes that are going
on. One is that Prince was kind of a loner lived up into the
woods there by himself in that big compound. And he had did a
lot of events for the locals. And he was, but he was shy. He
was read iStan kids used to tease him when he was young has
very few friends, if any. Meanwhile, theme number two,
everybody was his best.
Did you see Van Jones crying?
Like oh, I just talked to him a minute ago. It's array to array.
Oh, I saw Touray Oh, I almost clipped it. But that was like,
fuck that guy. Yeah, all
of a sudden, he has no friends. But except for these guys out of
the blue. Somehow they're all his best buds. And
everybody who's ever done an interview was republishing
pieces of their interviews with him. Some of that isn't as nice
to read some of the older professional journalists who
have little anecdotes, and several I have to say, anecdotes
he said, Well, I did I couldn't publish it at the time. It's
like what kind of chickenshit are these people? Be Why
couldn't they publish it at the time? Yeah, well, I had no
there any common theme to that?
Usually words, you know, nasty words like tits. Yeah, crazy.
Crazy stuff. Just Dum Dum Dum crazy stuff
can be weird. Since you mentioned Van Jones, or I
mentioned Van Jones. I do want to play one because I was going
through my clips and I found his Van Jones kind of I don't know
if he played it before. But this to me is the epitome of Van
Jones making commentary. Because I just want to reflect on this
one thing he said about not about about Trump principally
about Hillary that she is probably the best prepared
person to be commander in chief, maybe in history of the country.
If the history of the country
in the history of the country, in other words, Dwight
Eisenhower, was not prepared to be commander in chief, who
listed us as Grant was not prepared to be in the history of
the country, the entire history of the country from Georgia with
General George Washington, to the President, this woman who
never served a minute in the Armed Forces is the most
prepared.
Well, that kind of puts his Prince retrospective into
perspective, don't you think?
I would say so. Come on, champ, show us how tough you are right
now. Okay.
So I was very happy that I didn't participate in this and
at for a while there I thought you know, I'm just going to
click all of these, these friends and buddies and great
memories. I was going to make it into a big bed douche bag mix.
But actually got caught. I got kind of sick to my stomach just
hearing all of this like fleas, please, please. So my buddy from
Holland call, he does a morning show. And we've done so many
things to get you to let's just talk about prints like the way
he used to play it on the radio. So I'll do that. And so I was
telling Tina and I said yeah, but I've said no to all these
these eight holes, all this new stuff. I don't want to talk
about who wants to do that. But I'll do my buddy rune show,
because I've got a prince story. She turns around and looks at me
and she says, Oh my god, don't tell me Patricia had sex with
him. Don't you remember her thing about David David Bowie.
He says Please don't. Please tell me that's not the story.
Tina was so psychic or what was not
move on you. If the punch line falls flat, we
leave it. Yeah, okay. Okay. Anyway,
so I do have one print story if you're interested. I figured we
would share one with the no agenda audience. One, and this
relates to I think it was 9090 91 and I was in
Minneapolis. us. And I sent you the link for this earlier John.
I was it was probably one of the I've only done three commercials
for real products back in the heyday when I was Mr. MTV guy.
And one of them was for Sam Goody music land, which no
longer exists, it doesn't exist anymore. Now it's gone. Right?
I'm pretty sure it's gone. Yeah, and the big our records and the
biggest store is at Mall of America, which of course is in
Minneapolis.
But I didn't know that was not the biggest stores in Manhattan
at the time. And that's, you know, that's where it was going
to be done. The store was huge. And so put together kind of like
a spinal tap, where I'm pretending to be on a on a
tourism fantastic tour. And then you know, how all these
commercials they always have to have like a slide so you can put
the current offers on it and so with with almost like a
completely different voice in the commercial, you hear blank
like the bangles. Really, really, you know, like all these
great people on tour with but it's really it's the SAM Goody
music land tour. And you know, going around run around
backstage and kind of like Spinal Tap, they this is the
best concert I've ever been on. And then I go to the stage, open
the doors. And then of course, I open into the, into the store.
And that's the stage or something I love to create. It's
in the show notes and it's one of the lamest things you've ever
seen. Fits perfectly. It paid. Not very much, but it was I
think it was maybe it was a buyout, maybe $5,000. Maybe
there was no, not a good deal. But back in the day anyway. So
it was there for three or four days. And second night. It's
recording midnight. I'm in the hotel and we have the it was it
was a professional shoe we had you know, everything was really
well done a nice hotel room, and the phone rings at 1145 and pick
it up. So yeah, hello, this is Adam curry. Yeah. Prince want to
want to know if you want to come to a party is at a at his house
tonight. And I say let me think about it. Yeah. And he's good
because the car is downstairs waiting for you when you are
like this is classy. And this is you know, this is a 91 i What i
was i was doing late 20s And holy shit. But sure enough,
there's a car you know, black town car downstairs, and I bet
just no word spoken, just get in, takes me off and then you
know, we go towards what you people have now seen on the
news. along the highway, there's Paisley Park, and it's all lit
up in purple and it's you know, drive up to the gate the gates
opens and go in and there's metal detectors which 91 metal
detectors at the airport was kind of like so your keys down
you know your shoes would never go off or anything like that. So
it wasn't all that you know like, but it was odd you never
saw metal detectors anywhere else except at the airport back
in those days to go into this completely white room
everything's white Bennett's the lighting is a bit dim but it's
just the all you see is white, there's no real colour. It's a
you know, it's a rectangle. So on one side like the short side
of the room, there's a DJ standing kind of on built up
Iron Works. It's got like scaffolding, and he's playing
some prints tracks I've never heard in my life before. along
the long side of the room. There's a buffet from end to end
and it's nothing but fresh fruits and juices. There's no
alcohol, no alcohol, no anything else all just fresh ice
sculptures drip and stuff. And wall the wall beautiful people
maybe 70 or 80 people. And I this is what happens like
obviously he says beautiful people healthy food is soda. And
it's a Minnesota who knew. And I saw that there was one or two of
the extras from the commercial. Of course, we're all beautiful,
from the commercial shoot, where they're like, Hey, how are you
guys doing? Yeah, so I was hanging out and Prince was
standing over next to the DJ kind of hanging out just off to
the side by himself and said, I'm gonna go over and thank him
for the party. And they went no, no, no, no, no, you can't do
that. You can't do this. What are you talking about? No, no,
it's, uh, you're too tall and you're too white. I'm like, Are
you kidding me? This was really the perception. I really
shouldn't go talk to him at all. I'm like, fuck that. I go over
and say, hey, hey, I'm Adam. Thanks for inviting me is very
cool. Hey, good. You came and I love the thing you did on
Halloween with your daughter. That was fantastic. I really
loved how you scared her. But she was kind of having finally
he had seen everything. And observation. He was not he
didn't come across as timid or shy. Sure he's wearing boots,
but he also didn't come across as like some miniature man. Just
seem pretty, pretty normal. Yeah. And then I really didn't
have much left to say I was like, Hey, man, well, alright.
Well, thanks. Yeah. Enjoy. That was it. And then maybe an hour
or so later, you know, 2am the party's over which we which is
seeking If I buy prints has guys come in through the this room
saying nothing just kind of walking slowly amongst everybody
flashing their flashlights on the ground and that was the
signal to to leave and everyone just kind of flows out and the
car was still there waiting for me took me back and that
was his little private concert hall he had in there yeah, yeah.
A big was it
it was really high so I'd say it'd be like like the size of an
aircraft hangar for but not you know for more like a Gulfstream
not for not for a seven series anything but really high is
about that size and the same type of
vibe do a high school gym.
Ah, three quarters that size of a high school gym. Yeah.
So it was it was a medium sized little Hall.
That's yeah, it wasn't it wasn't any huge one by any means. Yeah.
And there was this other time that by state of Dan Hart member
Don Dan Hartman, do you remember him? No. He had Relight My fire
I can dream about you know remember no oh you may How about
Edgar Winter freeride you remember that do you play stay
in the city a lot and then played bass for them. So I was I
was staying at his at his house one time and Connecticut friend
of mine was recording at a studio at home which back in
like the early 90s was you had an SSL studio in your at your
house that was crazy. And but he had bought this with a studio
from someone else SSL means Oh solid state logic those are the
big you know the 24 or 48 track mixers before we got into real
full digital but these were solid state and that was a big
deal back in the day. And he said you know I bought this
place and above the studio in the attic I found all these
boxes and somehow these are all masters. Prince masters have him
in the studio but no not mixed. It was just a 24 track tapes. On
bases I'll put it on and listen to his unbelievable here prinia
setting his own mic setting his own levels if it was mind
boggling how good and shit you never heard before or have you
ever heard again, I guess? Who knows what well.
I have by one clip Okay, which mentions this he apparently has
a vault full of this stuff. And didn't never expect to release
it. I don't know how much of it was good or not. I guess it's
just only so much you can do.
We now know for men so gift. The groundbreaking music videos and
movie prints was as complicated as he was creating. That soaring
talent bought in part out of touring. He wants to Tavis
Smiley about his early battles with epilepsy, again teased a
lot in school and, you know, early in my career I tried to
compensate for that, by being as flashy as I could, indeed a
child prodigy he could play two dozen instruments by 12 His
first six figure contract by 19 Prince was quite the ladies man
married twice his list of reported loves read like a who's
who of the 1980s and 90s Madonna, Carmen Electra, his
drummer Sheila E. Despite the exotic gyrations, Prince was set
to be a devout Christian re Seventh Day Adventist he became
a Jehovah Witness in 2001. Can you imagine Prince showing up at
your door praising Jehovah Prince was an artist and an
actor releasing songs in the aftermath of Freddie grey and
vaulted. Perhaps the biggest secret of this star we barely
knew what of that vault of music he never released. One day
someone will release them. I don't know that I'll get to
release them. Tonight outside famed Apollo theatre the
faithful have gathered for a second night. Tom, one would
imagine that Prince, the artist and Prince the businessman,
would be pleased
now. So to wrap this up, because there's really not much more to
say as it pertains to this show.
There is one thing I would like to mention is that if everybody
had these preconceived notions of telling you, which resulted
in them telling you not to go up to him, I think that was an
issue.
Oh, but this is a very typical issue for Super celebrities.
Then of course, that's an issue. Absolutely. Get that all the
time with a celebrity that people have all preconceived
notions, prints actually in Utrecht in 1998. And I believe
this to be a true recording of 1998 He He prognosticated. Osama
bin Laden is going to drop a bomb, listen to it. He adds a
2001 hit me In 1998
Uh huh. Well,
I think that's better than the than the overplay did chemtrails
clip probe on Travis smile. I think Tavis Smiley I think we've
all seen that one a million times. But a lot of people say
oh, what's what did he die of? How did happen? And I I've, I
wasn't the only artists who have any vinyl records from his
prints. That's what I've been dragging around for most of my
adult life. Big fan. His death, if I will, just looking at all
the different pieces of information is out there seems
to me like an opiate overdose, accidental. Prescription
medication.
Yeah, that's what it seems to be. And whether they could have
gotten some clips, I didn't do that. It's not worth it. But it
sounds like that and and there's the analysis that the only thing
is worth clipping is not about press but about the analysis
people are doing. Not generally realising that there are these
better heroin addicts are not necessarily unfunctional Oh,
this there's one guy who says that, you know, he was dealing
his he was dealing prescription meds to Prince for 25 years. He
says he was wearing the patch and you know, he wasn't an
opiate addict which you can live with. I think you can live with
that quite for quite a long time. Yes. And probably have
people pretty damn well fooled.
That would be what everyone who knows anything seems to say yes.
I mean, they weren't telling me you know, what was portrayed in
the media. You got a junkie the guy's shaken. Yeah, you know,
he's got to have that he gets conks out. Now, you know, the
whole thing is not it's not the reality of it. No. No. Did you
there wasn't there was an analysis on O'Reilly
a way where we were before you go there. Let me just played
this for a second. I think. I don't know why this clip didn't
show up in my bin but hopefully I can more people must have seen
this I'm sure this was a wreath of Franklin did you see the
Aretha Franklin bit or not? Not that I can recall. Feared was
confirmed as was that rain kiss and last? Oh man, I can't
believe that thing got let me see if it's down here somewhere.
Anyone in the chat? I don't want to tell John what it was because
it was so freakin funny. In fact, I'm freaking freaking
freaking freaking awesome. Freakin funny. I'll tell you it
was another one there's also another one of growth saying
that he would know yeah broth
that oh that's the one I forgot to bring to the show which is
the purple haze
in the purple haze that's the one Yeah, we need that clip. Oh,
I don't know what happened
rolls if you haven't heard this anyone listening. brawls says
well he's very well in the landscape of the music index
sure
did
it in a second I
think I've got it here this one I just didn't want to ruin it by
taking it away Hold on let me see if I can ads come on get
past your ad you people you're ruining the show. He said you no
matter you know the Ghostery blocker those guys I think that
they're full of crap they're selling right video access to
people because video some videos get through some don't. So I
think these guys are full of hair days. I think this is
with us now. Here we go. Is the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin?
Aretha I'm wondering what your thoughts are today?
Because that's unknown. Brian I'm sorry. So sorry that I have
to call you on this occasion. It's it's such a blow I just
it's it's really surreal.
It sounds to me like she called him and I need to get on the
air. I need to talk to somebody doesn't it like Sorry, I have to
call you and
I heard about prints. And it just blew me away. Unbelievable.
But he he was such an original. He was definitely an original
and a one of a kind. there truly was only one
print. I'm just gonna let it roll. I don't know where it is.
Just
as you invented your sound and you will always own your sound.
He owned his as well.
Yes, he did. He put his stamp on it. Trance is gone. What the
hell is that? That's you
know young France. And he there was a list Think about him. Saw
him here and
I find this spot pissing me off. It's so good. I can't believe
that this clip didn't make it into my bin. Oh man, MSNBC, you
suck. Alright. It was a nice try. Oh, it's not even nice.
It's not
here of course we're all in the same boat here I was surprised
to learn he's 57 it was almost impossible to picture him going
into old age. But we always just assumed he would be around. I
also want to ask you about how prolific he was. We're looking
at the possibility of
oh, you stupid ass. Alright, I'll give it away. You know what
she says? I think it might be Zika
Oh my god. Yeah, yeah. This Zika thing. What would you like to
talk about later is outrage.
I wouldn't I wouldn't. I wouldn't mind talking about it
now because I'm nasty grammes. I'm getting nasty grammes about
this stuff.
I this is really a pathetic indictment on some of our
listeners who should know better. For one thing, there are
some there's I think, I believe the numbers 3500 mosquito
species. They do not all carry everything. Not like every
mosquito can carry dengue, gay, not every mosquito can carry
anything they don't have, they don't carry the flu. They don't
get you get these notes from people. Oh, by the way, they're
not born with the disease. They bite someone with the disease
and they bite you. And then you get the disease as though they
carry the flu and aids which was a myth. And everything in
between. When that's not true. There's only there's only if,
for example, with malaria, there's only a fixed number of
mosquitoes that carry it. I think it's about 30. And they're
all those specific sub genus.
There. Yeah.
Well, I was gonna read I was gonna read one email to you just
kind of ties into this. So one from producer I maybe doesn't
want him me to name him. His wife works at the CDC. Yeah,
this guy has for mosquitoes. I'm not sure why John doesn't end
people all send it to me, by the way. No, no. Okay. Well, most of
it. I'm not sure why John doesn't think the mosquitoes
that spread this are in the US the mosquitoes get the disease
from humans. They don't hatch already infected. This is why
there is no yellow fever or Dengue problems in the US.
There's no one to infect the mosquitoes. So that's like
chicken in the egg. Where are the people who have Zika though,
people who have travelled to infected areas,
so people have travelled to infected areas where there's
Bengay there's plenty of that too. Where's the dangit? Yeah,
now there are mosquitoes there's actually turns out to be two
mosquitoes that carry Zika that they know of that could be more.
But there's two particular ones whose names are very
unpronounceable. They do exist in South Texas and Hawaii, and
the Florida Everglades. So they do have those mosquitoes around
but they're not going to show up in Washington or as one article,
which I'll put a link to in the next newsletter. I think it was
Scotland, some expert in Scotland, some the head of the
health department where we can expect Zika in Scotland. And I'm
thinking oh my god, this has gotten completely out of
control. People. There's a lot of mosquito sites. I think
mosquito.org might be one of them that explain this in great
detail. Not all mosquitoes carry all mosquito borne diseases.
They just don't it's a lie. And to think otherwise. And to
insult us for talking about this is outrageous to me. Well,
here's
another one. Dear John, I'm a longtime it dude who has been a
fan since the PC mag slash InfoWorld day so this is painful
for me. Paying fall. The problem is not a TD joke every now and
then your audience is immune to that stuff. Rather its clickbait
comments like the Zika scam or the earlier Ebola scam. Being
involved in public health now he's an IT guy. I can assure you
that this stuff is deadly real Ebola is for the moment
contained because we can quarantine and limit human
travel. mosquito borne viruses are an entirely different
matter. The CDC is publicly understating the potential
adverse impact for non breeders to prevent widespread panic.
comments that are plainly untrue about these health threats cause
your informed listeners to start questioning your opinions in
general. And to question the wisdom of contributing. You make
us feel like rubes you guys is a ruse. You guys do a fantastic
job in the political and economic realm in tech in a
whole host of areas. But you're sounding like Trump when you
stray into epic epic demolish epic. Jamie Lee ology, and
that's a bad look. Just when I feel like shit. support you and
$80,000 air stream most me down. That's one of the most insulting
emails I've ever received.
Totally that for one thing I bet you I could look the guy he's
never been contributed. Now, of
course he has not, of course.
I mean, that's just common. Now. Yes, that's a very insulting
remark. Read about mosquitoes. Not all mosquitoes are the same
mosquitoes. Not all mosquitoes carry the same diseases. They
don't. But Jerry well documented, I don't understand.
I just want to say one thing. When we say the Ebola scam, or
the Zika scam, we're not saying that these diseases don't exist.
We're not doing like questioning anything of that matter. But the
scam is the money and where it's being directed. In both
cases. I'm gonna I'm gonna stop you. Did anybody who sent some
of these complaining letters and actually listen to the show
where you outlined where this does emergency one point x
billion dollars you pointed out was going to be spent on it had
nothing to do with the SICA or for containment,
or containing people's travel or any of that.
No, and the Republicans are failing to pull this IV
actually, the Republicans, by the way, are complete douchebags
about this. They should but they should blow the lid off of this
scam, that it is a scam. And it's got to do with Zika for the
way that where this money is going because the Republicans
are saying no, we're not going to sign off on it until we know
where the money goes. They know where the money goes. It was
clear because you had listed off where the money goes, this money
is not going to Zika this Zika thing is a complete scam. For
some for pay offs. Yes. And that's what we're talking about.
We're not saying the disease is bullcrap. It's still a lot of
people do send us notes saying, Well, I believe, you know,
sounds like the larvicide to me, and the larvicide is probably
still what causes this. The the microcephaly Zika has been
around for a long time. And it's never had this effect before
what change did have a genetic change? Maybe that does happen.
But that's what we're talking about. We're not talking about
the non existence of Zika, or the non existence of Ebola. And
by the way, if you have something to contribute, the
correct way to go about it is say, Hey, here's what I know
about it. Here's what my wife knows about it. Here's, you
know, don't say you suck. I'm not going to donate. And then
see I'm not going to donate a mosquito bite someone and bite
someone else. They get the disease.
And it insinuates we're so rich. We don't need your donations.
Yeah, sure. Yeah, that Airstream will be mine and 47 easy
payments. And it's only been used for this show.
Yeah, no, I'm fine.
I gotta get mad about that when I was like, Well, I
guess I can see you getting mad. Firstly, insults you for buying
an Airstream or renting or leasing one or whatever you're
doing. You didn't buy it
now it's on the nevernever
it's ridiculous. So they're essentially they don't want us
to succeed. It's just that this is the problem that entire
society has been so brainwashed that they jump at the chance to
do something like that note from that asshole. And the other note
was is the same thing. Oh, mosquitoes aren't born with the
disease. Okay, I think we know that. Which is insinuates that
we're idiots so do we spend no time researching any of this?
It's unbelievable to me and then we do have like a falling off of
donations because I think there's more than a few people
out there that really are they just can't get over the over the
hump now.
So I'd rather be poor than been kowtow to this crap.
I think I think that's that's exactly what can
I buy? Well, hey, what dreams do come true in the world of
podcasting? There's one more nasty gramme I just I've done
I'll be done with it. Just get out of the way I wasn't gonna do
it now but since we're doing it to do it, Bernard Q ban with a
que this guy was in the chat on Thursday. And you know, I have
one eye on the chat one eye and the footswitch one eye on the
levels. I'm busy here. So when I see someone come through this
says all in caps, shut the fuck up. Jus. That guy gets kicked by
me. I don't care what you say. Shut the fuck up. Dot dot dot.
None of it can be good though. You get kicked. You can come
back in. It's not like I banned anybody because it's a little
Hey, hey, hey. You think it was incorrect of me to do that now?
I'm sure you agree with me.
I don't like it. Your lifetime ban. Oh,
so he emails me. Curry. You've proven once and for all that
you're a good boy. Shut the fuck up Jew triggers it Well, ask
your other personality since you are split, at least split still
a fucking stooge. May you rot in Dante stret hell you trade her?
The question is will you be satisfied with your life once
you're on your deathbed and hands down this will be sooner
than than later Given your age. Well, will you? Are you
satisfied with ignoring what you already have known for such a
long time ditch Yeah, I guess. I guess I guess I'm not protecting
us from the evil Jews enough. That seems to be the issue
with God. You know, wow, that guy's a psycho.
And then he's like, Well, you know, what do you say? He's a
psycho? Like, oh, I donated Oh, how much $100 sent them? $100
PayPal immediately go away. Ah, and then he eventually I think
sent them very
disappointed some of the users. Yeah, particularly people who
who should under No, and we put it this way. If you feel bad
about something about something we said, the question is, why is
it making you feel bad, I can't make you feel anything. It is
impossible for my words to be responsible for something you
feel
your dissonance got, which you're
now being accused of. You're my handler, jus handler, and you're
creating cognitive dissonance so no one understands the Jew
problem. This is crazy. At least for this show.
Go back to the mainstream media. It's fine. Really
shut your eyes. Take the blue pill. Enjoy. Adios MoPhO I
didn't. I did have a
I'm sorry. I still was trying to get this clip in before we
it as you can clip it. I want to stay on vaccines for a second if
we can. No, this
is the clip that refers back to O'Reilly is the O'Reilly that we
were talking about this how far we're drifting. Pretty soon
we'll be talking about you know, water supplies. So I wanted to
get this out of the way. This was during the discussion on
O'Reilly about heroin.
This is the Okay.
I want to say I have to set it up. Yeah. The clip would it
would be
I see what it is. It's a rally on P
right, so Riley is discussing the paper heroin and
prescription drug opioid problem in the country. Uh huh. And, and
by the way, what's kind of interesting is that I didn't
realise I don't know why I should have known this. I don't
know why I didn't know it because I don't really I didn't
look into it. But Percocet is a combination of
Tylenol, Tylenol and an ox and oxycodone and it's actually the
Tylenol that
kills you. Yes. Tylenol is extremely hard on the on the
kidneys, kidney and liver, liver. So So right in the middle
of this thing, I just jaw dropped. Here we go again with
O'Reilly, because right in the middle of this thing about
brands, opioids and prescription drugs, he drops this little gem,
the legalisation
of pot, now favoured by the majority of Americans. Although
marijuana is not even close to heroin and other hard drugs in a
destructive capacity. Again, pot acceptance sends a signal. When
I grew up in Levittown, a suburb of New York City, heroin and
other hard drugs were rare until the Vietnam War came in. Then
some vets in my neighbourhood returned from Southeast Asia
addicted to heroin, called horseback that however anyone
who sold hard drugs in the neighbourhood was a pariah, an
outcast, a vile human being, that person might even be beaten
up. And those who use narcotics were also stigmatised at least
for a while. Until the sex drugs and rock'n'roll culture kicked
in. The
blames you by the way,
yeah, totally my fault. I accept full responsibility light up.
I like the way he sees he throws us together. So the word
narcotics is associated with pot cars, as though was a narcotic.
Now I just find it important that he keeps banging the same
anti pot drum drum. And but I did learn one thing, which is
that he was raised in Levittown. Now Levittown is a place I've
always wanted to visit it. You've heard it probably
Celebration, Florida, that little Disney come? Yeah, of
course. Of course. Yeah. Well, this is the original. Levittown
was Oh, right. Yes, I do every famous plan community. For all
practical purposes, the Socialist Dream, which is
hilarious to me that, that O'Reilly was raised in
Levittown. And I've always wanted to go there and take
photos because apparently is not that. Apparently, I'm saying
that word too often. It's very similar to was when it was first
developed. And I've just been fascinated by it. Anyway,
onward.
I just wanted to stick with the vaccines and Zika and all this
stuff for a moment because Robert De Niro was on The Today
Show. And you know, he has the was the Tribeca Film Festival,
which is documentaries. And we didn't I had the clip or had a
clip a couple of weeks ago because he decided to drop this
documentary from the roster, which I believe he produced
called Vaxxer. VA xx er Now, De Niro has a teenage kid who's had
autism, I guess all or most of his life. And so, you know, a
lot of people got really upset and like, oh, well, we can't, we
can't have this, you know, because the conclusions that are
made, you know, it's antivax. And then So Denise said, You
know what? We'll kill it for now. We'll deal with it later,
we'll figure it out. So he finally had some time to explain
his real thoughts on dropping this documentary, his thoughts
on vaccinations and its correlation to autism. I think
it's an important piece coming from Robert De Niro. And
certainly, he sounds like he's pissed off, and he wants to do
something with it. But eventually get around to
figuring something out. And well just listen to this interview,
he was shooting a movie, I was in the middle of a lot of stuff.
I think the movie is something that people should see. There
was a backlash, which I haven't fully explored, and I will, but
and I didn't want it to start affecting the festival in ways
that I couldn't see. But definitely, there's something to
that movie. And there's another movie called trace amounts.
That's the Kennedy movie about, about Mercury, and not just in
vaccines, but other places.
And these, there's a lot of information about things are
happening with the CDC, the pharmaceutical companies,
there's a lot of things that are not said, I as a parent of a
child who has autism. I'm concerned, and I want to know
the truth, and I'm not anti vaccine. I want safe vaccines,
when you get some people can't get a certain type of shot, and
they can die from it, you know, even penicillin. So why should
that not be with vaccine, which it isn't?
I'm not quite sure what he meant by that. Why?
Sounds like he was thinking one thing and saying, Well, I
think it was but anyway,
so you said you went public for the first time saying that your
18 year old son does have autism that have been a very private
thing for you. And part of the reason you wanted this film,
Shawn was to start that conversation. Absolutely. Do you
believe you'll now have a role in that conversation? Going
collaboratively?
Yes. Because the thing is, if the shut it down, there's no
reason to it. If you're scientists, let's see. Let's
hear everybody doesn't seem to want to hear much about it. Shut
down. And that should be the investigating.
Yeah, but let him start with this shutdown conversation.
First. Bob De Niro is a good guy. And I say Bob because I can
say Bob he's this isn't I think it's good that he's jumping into
this he'll he'll come to regret it but it's good
to do the investigating. Will phone was controversial because
people felt that the filmmaker had been discredited even
he I'm not so sure about at the end of the day, even him. So
there's more to this than than meets the eye believe is that
is that the experience you had Robert, something changed
overnight.
My wife says that I don't remember. But there was I might,
my child is autistic. And every kid is different. But there is
something there. There's something there that people
aren't addressing. And for me to get so upset here today on The
Today Show you guys means there's something there. That's
all I wanted was the movie to be seen. People can make their own
judgement, but you must see it and other things. Do you regret
pulling it now? And some part of me does and part of me says Let
me let it go for now. And I'll deal with it later in another
way. But because it was like a knee jerk reaction, and
especially from the filmmakers, frankly that I that I
if this was the people who called for the removal of this
documentary where the other filmmakers can you believe that?
Yeah, that's can believe it, but these are documentarian who are
out to prove things or show things that are not that's what
a documentary is to give you information you didn't know or
to give you a richer background and they protested say that
we're going to pull out if that documentary was shown.
This is welcome to the way it is.
It's that's it's strange, but true. 30 more seconds,
that I you know, the other
filmmakers who were in the fence, whoever
they weren't, I didn't I didn't want to want to ask, but now I
will
come in for you bitches. Robert is nearly get work insists in
the scientific community that there's no link there. Do you
believe that's not true? I
don't I believe it's much more complicated than that. It's much
more complicated than that. There is a link and they're
saying there isn't but there's certain things there's the
obvious one is the Marisol which is mercury based preservative.
But there are other things there that I don't know I'm not a
scientist, but I know because I've seen so much reaction.
Let's just find out the truth.
Okay, let's get the checklist. Bob Bobby, no hot tubs. No small
aircraft with no canoes? Certainly no hookers. What is
another favourite way? No tea was Russians.
Be very careful, Bob. Very, very careful.
And related just because it's kind of an orphan. Zeke Emanuel.
Do you remember Zeke? Probably not. Zeke. Zeke Emanuel was the
architect. of the Obama care. And I think I don't know if I
still have that clip. I didn't look for it. Honestly, there was
a certain point he was pontificating was there was a
clip of it. He was like, I've you know, these stupid people
they, of course, it's I can't remember exactly what the
context was of it was let me see Obama Care was it to architect
probably don't have that clip here. Anyway, this is he was on
I think it was this MSNBC, maybe it was a Morning Joe show about
UnitedHealthcare pulling out of the exchanges. I mean, I'm just
fascinated by that. And I've actually pulled pulled out the
2300. So more so 2700 pages of the Affordable Care Act that I
have marked up. I want to see where it was not some I don't
know, for the insurance companies to be able to pull out
saying it doesn't work for us, yet the American people are
forced by law to have coverage. It doesn't seem like a fair
deal. And I'm wondering if that was written in and it's, it's
painful to go through the go through that again?
It wasn't written out probably that's I don't don't think it
was written in that they could do this. It just could do it.
There's they probably cool. They didn't do this combing over that
document.
Right. Well, they wrote the document that was pretty much
well known. And it was, you know, jammed through there was
not the 72 hours promised to review it that doesn't matter.
And so apparently, they what we heard last is they're going to
lose a billion dollars, which on a quarterly revenue of 55
billion. You know, it's Thank you. It's peanuts,
former White House adviser for Health Policy, and vice provost
for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr.
Zeke Emanuel Zika. Just last week, I think it was we asked
you guys how Obamacare was doing. And I think in medical
jargon, you said swimmingly? Well, this obviously is a big
blow to the future of Obamacare, isn't it? Now,
I don't think it's a big blow. But let me make three quick
points. First of all, United was never a big player in the
exchanges. It came in very tepidly initially, and has not
been very aggressive or interested in the exchanges.
Second of all, it's not pulling out of all the exchanges, as you
said, it's actually we don't know how many it's going to
leave, it's actually for sure, staying in a few of them. And
the third point is, they've only had about 6% of the enrollees in
the exchanges. So it's not really that big an upset for the
whole thing. So I think there's a lot more attention on it,
because it is the biggest insurer in the country. But
again, it's never been a big player in the exchange world. So
I would not say that it's that big a deal.
But if the economics don't work for United Healthcare, why does
the economics work for any insurance? Well, one
reason the economics probably don't work for United is that
they came in late, and they got a lot more sicker patients.
How about that?
Is that an interesting explanation? They came in late,
and therefore they got much more sicker patients. That's an
interesting conclusion
as I disagree, because what we know, that's happening with
UnitedHealthcare is the same as the canary in the coal mine.
This is the first of many insurers that will bail out of
the exchanges. It's already been stated by other insurers and
their board meetings. Each insurer that is participating in
the Affordable Care Act is losing money. And as we see
UnitedHealthcare make reference to dropping three states already
more coming. And most of them by the end of 2017. We know Blue
Cross Blue Shield is close behind. We know that large
insurers are merging. We're going to have three large payers
in the United States,
you say they're all losing money.
They all are losing money. And $1 billion has been lost by
UnitedHealthcare. In about by the end of this year.
Yeah, ya my heart bleeds. I don't know, I was my impression
the way it was sold to us as we had a deal. The deal was, we
would all pay more for our insurance a little bit more, but
we could keep you up. Forget all the promises. We wound up paying
more. And the reason is that then we could insure 20
uninsured Americans through Obamacare through the exchanges.
The independents are went bankrupt. Half a year ago,
they're gone. These guys are pulling out. And apparently we
don't really have a deal with the insurance with the financial
companies that insure health care, we don't have a deal with
them. That was just a lie. And I'm going to transition us into
a topic for you with Nigel Farage talking about President
Obama's visit and he says something as it pertains very
much to health Care insurance and health care costs, there
is a bigger motivation. And that is with this trip. And with what
he said he's guaranteed his financial future. He's done the
bidding of the giant American corporates who want Britain to
stay in the EU. Why? Because they want this TTIP
transatlantic Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
deal done so that the big American corporates can buy up
chunks of our public services, including the National Health
Service. That's a bigger measure.
I don't doubt it at all. Bring them in, bring in the insurers
and the how and the Fed farmer bring him in to Europe and take
over what they're doing there. Seems seems totally right to me.
Well, as you know, I've predicted that the Brexit will
fail. Yes. And of course, this is just building on that. And
this every new clip that comes along seems to build on it. I
have a bunch of clips that came through on this. And I think the
best thing with the meeting that Obama had him though some of
this stuff wasn't an eye wash some of it when it says speech,
but this was the worst thing I've ever seen him do.
I'm not kidding. What was he thinking just as Faraj said,
which is the same thing the Clintons did when they pardoned
various people that should were massive criminal masterminds.
But let's play the Brexit meeting summary from PBS as part
of our special relationship. Part of being friends, is to be
honest, and to let you know what I think. And speaking honestly,
the outcome of that decision is a matter of deep interest to the
United States because it affects our prospects as well. The
United States wants a strong United Kingdom as a partner, and
the United Kingdom is at its best when it's helping to lead a
strong Europe.
The President also warned that the US would be in no hurry to
write a free trade deal with Britain if it does exit the EU.
But the candour was not a stop, stop right there.
Yeah, because she didn't say exactly what he said,
was that no, he was a threat. What he did was he said, it's
very hard to get a clip. But But first of all, let's look at it
from this perspective of Obama. We're good friends, we like to
be honest with each other. And if you don't vote this way,
we're you're going to be in the bottom of the list.
Do you want that? Friend, I have the quote, I have the full
example bullet. Yeah, play that and then play the rest of this.
Maybe some point down the line. There might be a UK US trade
agreement, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Because our
focus is in negotiating with a big block of the European Union
to get a trade agreement done. And UK is gonna be in the back
of the queue.
A lot of people fell over the queue word in Britain. What is
he trying to pander to us using the word queue?
Now we use the word queue once
we you know, we use it all the time we use it on Netflix, we
use it in playlists come on the word queue is, is not it's not
as crazy word not cool. Okay. But point is, is that what kind
of a friend is this when he makes that threat? That's a
threat, by the way?
Well, I do have clips about the special relationship which we
can do in a minute. Let me finish
Brexit, the rest of my PBS thing we'll go to the Exactly.
But the candour was not appreciated by some including
London Mayor Boris Johnson, who has the Leave campaign,
something to which the Americans would never submit their own
democracy. America is a proud democracy built on principles of
liberty, the idea of the sanctity of representation and
no taxation without representation. It is very odd,
it is perverse, it is hypocritical.
Johnson also blasted the President's decision to move a
bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office called it quote,
a symbol of the part Kenyan president's ancestral dislike
the British Empire. President Obama did not respond directly
to the job. But he did say that he moved the Churchill bus to
his private study, after he had a bust of Martin Luther King Jr.
Placed in the Oval Office. Oh, perfect.
Yes, that fits perfectly with the clips I have. This was in
regard to the So Cameron and Obama did a President Obama did
a little stand up thing together questions and answers. It is
rather important to hear the first question and how Cameron
jumps into grab that. Before Obama can answer another
British question from from the BBC.
And notice that he's point he'll he has a list. These of course,
were set up questions. I'm sure this was no surprise to anybody
that this question was coming. The way it was formulated was
interesting.
Thank you, Mr. President. You've made your views very plain on
the fact that British voters should choose to stay in the EU
You, but in the interests of good friends always being
honest. Are you also saying that our decades or special
relationship that's been through so much would be fundamentally
damaged and changed by our exit? If so, how? And are you? Also?
Do you have any sympathy with people who think this is none of
your business? minister to you, if I may, some of your
colleagues, but
it's none of your business, like what are you doing here? Yang,
it's utterly wrong that you have dragged our closest ally into
the EU referendum campaign. What do you say to them? And is it
appropriate for the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson to have
brought up President Obama's Kenyan ancestry in the context
of this debate?
She loaded up.
Well, let me finish question.
I mean, first of all, it's a British question. You could tell
by the insulting nature of it. It's a British question.
Questions for Boris have questions for Boris. The
question is for Boris than other questions for me. I don't have
some special power over the President of the United States.
It would annoy me to no end of my name was Barack Obama, and
everyone keeps calling me Barack Barack. You know what I mean?
And also, it's not? The I don't it may signify the special
relationship. But I believe our president typically says the
Prime Minister, the President, I don't think it goes David. I
don't think so. Dave, dodgy, Dave. Barak said this. I think
it's demeaning if especially maybe he's like, if you're the
president, I think it might be teeny bit so maybe just nudging
back about the Churchill thing.
But I feel strongly about this and said what he said. And as I
said, it's our decisions of sovereign people. The choice we
make about Europe that I think it's right to listen to, and
consider the advice of your friends. And
so then Cameron goes away.
By the way, that was a good catch. Instead of saying, Mr.
President Obama, which he should have should have said, yeah, he
doesn't know Obama didn't call him Dave, that's,
I don't? Well, I don't think so. So, so Cameron now is going to
answer the spent I've Oh, we have discussed this special
relationship on the show before? What is exactly our special
relationship? What is it? What is it based on? What what is our
spent? Do? You know, John, do we have? Have we ever? Well, I
think we're gonna find out. Well, this is according to a
version
this is according to our girlfriend, how would
you say about a special relationship to me, and I'm
passionate about this, I believe, very, very deeply for
all the reasons of the history and the language and the
culture, but also about the future of our country. And the
truth is this. The stronger Britain's, and a stronger
America is, the stronger that relationship will be. And I want
Britain to be as strong as possible. And we draw our
strength from all sorts of things that we have, as a
country, the fifth largest economy in the world, amazing
armed forces, brilliant security and intelligence forces that we
were discussing how well, they work together, incredibly
talented people, brilliant universities, the fact that
we're members of NATO, the g7, the G 20, the Commonwealth, but
we also draw strength and project strength and project
power and project our values and protect our people and make our
country wealthier, and people wealthier by being in the
European Union. So I want Britain to be as strong as
possible. And the stronger Britain is, the stronger that
special relationship is. And the more that we can get done
together, to make sure that we have a world that promotes
democracy and peace and human rights and the development that
we want to see across the world. So to me, it's simple, stronger
Britain, stronger, special relationship that's in our
interest. And that's in the interest United States of
America as well.
Okay, so it's a lot of smoke up, everybody's collected, but there
is okay. So it kind of makes sense. We're teams, we're
partners and all this stuff. And when we do well, everyone does
well, we should be together kumbaya Think of the children.
So the President speaks addresses this two times BAFTA,
another our special relationship. Hi, maybe he
doesn't understand the special relationship. But the first
thing he does is he uses the special relationship question to
retaliate retort on the Churchill bust, which used to be
in the in the Oval Office, but he replaced it with a with a bus
of Martin Luther King Jr. I don't have not going to play
that part, but just the beginning about the special
relationship and what happened to the bust of Churchill was the
jury sounds and sounds anything but like anything but like a
special friend.
Let me start with Winston Churchill.
This is the answer to the special relationship questions.
Ill Oh,
it gets worse. It gets worse. It gets worse.
You know, I don't know Have people are aware of this but in
the residence on the second floor. My office my private
office is called the Treaty Room.
And right outside the door of the Treaty Room so that I see it
every day, including on weekends when I'm going into that office
to watch a basketball game.
The primary image I see is a bust of Winston Churchill. He
gets there voluntarily because I can do anything on the second
floor. Along Winston Churchill
love the guy. Shades of Trump, love, it's love. I love
Churchill love the guy. I love that guy. That
guy was so crazy that he throws his jacket on top of it as he
goes to watch basketball. But I'm gonna
go I just rub his hand when I watch basketballs and brushing
by Churchill.
Winston Churchill, that guy. When I was elected as president,
United States, my predecessor had kept a Churchill bust in
the Oval Office. It goes on until that whole story. So our
special relationship means when he goes to watch a basketball
game, he throws his coat over Churchill's head on his way into
the office, which he could you could have used anybody could
have used the Gandhi or he could have use anybody's head or bust
for his. But he loves this guy, he loves this guy. All right.
Now the second answer to why we have such a special relationship
and what it really is
with respect to the special relationship. I have a staff
member who will not be named, because it might embarrass her a
little bit, who, generally on foreign trips, does not leave
the hotel or the staff room. Because she's constantly doing
work making this happen. She has had one request the entire time
that I've been present. And that is could she accompany me to
Windsor, on the off chance that she might get a peek at her
Majesty, the Queen. And gracious as she is Her Majesty actually
had this person along with a couple of others lined up so
that as we emerged from lunch, they could say, and this staff
person who is as tough as they come almost fainted, which was,
I'm glad she didn't because it would have caused an incident.
That's a special relationship. We are so and that's the storm
nothing's going to impact the emotional and cultural and
intellectual affinities between our two countries.
And that's the story because the Queen met the staffer who loves
the Queen and because we got Churchill when he goes to watch
basketball games. w t f.
I think Faraj nailed it. I wish I agree. I agree. I agree. But
let's go into a couple more I've got here. One of the one of the
countries, of course, which dominate the EU is Germany and
Deutsche well is the representative and it's very
interesting to listen to their takes on this stuff. And so we
have and that's one of my regular so there, you'll be
getting more of this. This is the Brexit and Obama and this is
Deutsche velas report DW one.
US President Barack Obama has held a press conference with his
British counterpart David Cameron. After their meeting in
London, the two close allies are fighting to keep Britain from
leaving the European Union in a referendum this June. Obama says
that EU membership is good for trade, and that's spreading
British values, but his critics called the advice
hypocritical.
Barak Obama arrived at Downing Street ready to convince
Britain's to stay in the EU. The presidency support was welcomed
by Prime Minister David Cameron. Obama said membership was a
matter of historic importance.
For centuries, Europe was marked by war. And by miles. The
architecture that our two countries helped to build with
the EU has provided the foundation for decades of
relative peace and prosperity on that continent. Wait a minute.
Yeah, please. What did you hear?
I want you to actually I want to play the last 15 or 10 seconds
there if you don't well, I
wanted him okay, play lesson here. And I wanted to mention
something because it seems to me he's taking credit for the
creation of the European Union.
That's one that that's what I thought I heard let me hear it
again,
are two countries how Up to build with the EU has provided
the foundation for decades of relative peace and prosperity on
that continent. Oh, yeah, thanks Obama
with the good job. He did take credit for it.
What a remarkable legacy.
All of David Cao hold the referendum, but once his country
to stay in the European Union,
and I'm very proud to have the opportunity to be Prime Minister
and to stand outside the White House listening to this man, my
friend Barak back, the special relationship between our
countries has never been stronger. But I've never felt
constrained in any way in strengthening this relationship
by the fact that we're in the European Union.
Earlier, the Obamas joined in with Queen Elizabeth's 90th
birthday celebrations with a private lunch at Windsor Castle.
But it was the President's op ed in Euroskeptic. newspaper, The
Daily Telegraph that got all the attention. In it. He said the
European Union doesn't moderate British influence, it magnifies
it as strong Europe is not a threat to Britain's global
leadership. It enhances Britain's global leadership. It
came as a blow for the pro Brexit campaign, undercutting
the argument that Britain could prosper on an equal basis with
global powers such as the United States.
Yeah, well, I'm glad that the EU is Barack's legacy.
There is that unbelievable. Now meanwhile, there's more. There
is a second some some more analysis. You want to hear that
but I actually rather just skip to this other clip, which is
this is George Osborne, yes. decides to come out and
threatened the public with a scare tactic that again,
this is the commie Georgia I was busy the con the Communist
Party.
No, I don't think he's a communist. But he is the he's a
no, no, no. You think that somebody else?
Oh, no, no, I know. Finance? Yeah. The old Chancellor of the
Exchequer?
Yes, yes. So play this Brexit clip, slapping a
price tag on a potential Brexit. According to a new report by the
country's finance ministry, leaving the European Union would
be a self inflicted wound for the UK
permanently poorer outside of the European Union to the tune
of 4300 pounds per household. And that's something that people
will want to know as they consider how to vote in this
referendum.
4300 pounds a loss of almost 5400 euros a year for every
British household.
Well, shed
Yeah, what are they? This is, this is unconscionable. This is
outrageous. They should call it they should get this guy to
string him up. Pretty awesome. What there's what they're saying
is that everybody in every household in England is going to
be short and have a shortfall of 5400 euros a year. Thanks or
ever. If they leave the EU,
yeah, you we're all gonna die. Unbelievable. We're all gonna
die.
And most people like the people who write us a bitching about
our mosquito analysis. Most people in the country because of
this commentary and of Obama and and David Cameron are going to
vote and to stay in possibly know possibly about it. I mean,
I money. And of course, the bedding?
Well, the answer I believe I've people have told me the odds are
changing little slightly more in favour of a Brexit. Well, that's
not saying this. I don't know how to read the odds. So but
yeah, you use that as a fairly convincing argument, because
these guys don't lose money typically. Except in 1122 63.
Pocket, I got into that.
The President also went to speak with some school children. I'm
not quite sure where this was. But there was one question and
one more like statement, I guess. It came from one of the
younger children and I had never heard of this, or I guess this
is maybe a first was the first public act of this kind. It was
a very, I think something that you and I need to set a bookmark
by to remember that this happened. You ready?
My name is Maria Manila. And you've been speaking a lot about
how you know we have to become the change that we want to see.
And you've spoken about progress about human rights and about how
we in the US and the UK need to lead in terms of civil rights
movements and LGBTQ issues. Now I'm about to do something
terrifying, which is, I'm coming out to you as a non binary
person. It means that I don't fit within I'm getting emotional
I'm so sorry
that this is just review for a moment.
Hold on is going for clip of the day I'm
going for clip for the century, I missed this this person, this
person's came person, I have to say came out as came out and was
very nervous about coming out as non binary gender.
After she had already said that Obama told them that they have
to become the change we want to see. How do you become a change?
Forget that coming out as non binary.
I mean, this is just showing you the influence that we have in
this country because this we're all
on a second hold on a second book of knowledge. Definition of
non binary gender. Sorry,
I can't find the answer to the question on here. Yeah,
no shit. On the gender wiki it says non non binary gender
describes any gender identity, which does not fit with the
binary of male and female. Those with non binary genders can feel
that they one have an androgynous gender identity such
as androgen have an identity between male and female such as
intergender have a neutral or non existent gender identity
such as a gender or neutral neutral voice. Have multiple
gender identities such as by gender or pan gender, have a
gender identity, which varies over time known as gender fluid
have a weak or partial connection to a gender identity
known as Demi gender, that the person can be intersex and
identify as intersex known as Mo Mo Emolga gender Amalga gender
and or have a culturally specific gender identity which
exists only within the culture they or their ancestors belong
to. Otherwise they feel that their gender is neither fully
male nor fully female.
Who is Danny gender used to fit in there?
Dummies who was damaged have a weak or partial connection
that's it you have half a gender and it here's the thing, it's a
kid right? And this kid is coming out and is convinced
because kids are confused. Kids are confused about a lot of
things and doesn't really know where she wants to be. But now
we have this label and she's coming out as non binary. So are
you non binary forever Can you change is this
cognitive dissonance at its best to the max baby to the max
rights movements and LGBTQ issues? Now I'm about to do
something terrifying, which is I'm coming out to you as a non
binary person, which means that I don't fit within I'm getting
emotional. I'm so sorry. That's okay. That's okay. I come from
I'm from a Pakistani Muslim background which inevitably has
cultural implications and I know that in North Carolina recently
with the bathroom bill, people are being forced obviously
produced bus tickets to prove
no that's not obviously happening. Not yet
at least that gender in order to go
she said, though, she said, I know obviously people now have
to produce their birth certificate to go to the
restroom in North Carolina. No, no, that
was Gail I liked I liked that she misled Yeah,
that's difficult to prove their gender in order to go to the
toilet in the UK we don't recognise non binary people
under the equality
ah there we go you horrible be racist bridge you they don't
recognise non binary under the do not discriminate act man.
These guys are horrible.
Go to the toilet. In UK we don't recognise non binary people
under the Equality Act so we literally have no rights so if
there was any discrimination there's nothing we can do I
really really wish there's no
right I'm just I'm discriminated against I just don't know which
have from discriminated by it's you know, it's one can one half
of her discriminate against the other. This is insane. Pushing
yourself in the
face will no no, no, you
have no right. So if there was any discrimination, there's
nothing we can do. I really, really wish that yourself and
David Cameron would take us seriously as transgender people.
Okay, hold on a second. So I need an education here. non
binary fits under transgender apparently is that because
you're in like a waiting state and I'm not mocking at all I'm
mocking the fact that this is happening but I'm not mocking
what people feel or how what they wanna You can name yourself
cowdung for all I care. I'm just trying to understand is
transgendered can you be in a non binary transgendered state?
That doesn't really make a lot of sense. It seems to me by
definition, transgender means you transition Tran. Yeah.
You've Trent transitioned your gender from one to the other.
And so you're you're a male now you're a woman. And instead of
just Well, I don't get as white. It's just I'm a woman. Okay. I'm
not a trans. I'm a woman. Now. I
think we're all trans. I've been all non binary. You know, I
can I know that. We're not all trans obvious. I think we can be
non binary. Yeah, you can say you're all non binary people.
Some men are very sensitive.
Yeah. When I go shopping with Tina for clothes, I'm very non
binary.
Mimi likes to do woodwork, you know? Yep, exactly, exactly. I
have a man.
Sometimes, talks like a turning
to binary thing actually assumes that you're one of zeros
oriented, a position in life where you have specific things
that are your sex ed. In other words, you're not acting like a
man, you have to act like, you know, you're not acting like a
woman. You're not feminine. The whole idea of non binary assumes
that those are rigid when they're not. Yeah. Not rigid.
There's I know a lot of guys who can't catch a baseball pillow.
I know I can catch it. I'm really good at baseball.
Actually. I can catch a ball. Yeah,
but you know, they can't catch a baseball or they can't throw it
they throw like a girl.
I think nonbinary is everybody can be Oh, it's also known as
gender queer. Hold on a second, maybe this will do better book
of knowledge, definition of gender queer.
The term queer has several meanings as an adjective, stop.
That's not to say, that's not the same as genderqueer is not
the same as queer. Well, I'm looking for genderqueer.
Alright, let's finish this onward. This fabulous, fabulous
moment in in, in gender history.
Do I really, really wish that yourself and David Cameron would
take us seriously as transgender people. And perhaps you could
elucidate as to what you can do to go beyond what has been
accepted as the LGBTQ rights movement, including people who
fit outside the social norm,
but shouldn't be LGBTQ and be for non binary? I don't know.
I don't know where she jumped from now. Or he I can't tell.
Well, it looks like a grain. Girlfriend's gender unless she
he is going to z, z, and z is going to jump genders. Now. And
then if that's the case, you jump genders now you're in that
gender and raunchy just wait, is the President the President did
respond good patient is what gets me a yes,
the President did respond in regards to the bad laws, bad
laws in North Carolina, with his, again, his constitutional
lawyer, take on how law works in America,
I can say from my perspective, that we're taking a lot of
serious steps to address these issues. Within the federal
government, the challenge we've had is North Carolina, the law
that comes up, for example. That's a state law. And because
of our system of government, I can't overturn on my own state
laws, unless a federal laws passed that prohibits states
from doing these things. And with the Congress I currently
have that's not likely to happen.
And I think it's not actually Republicans. It's probably not
actually constitutional. What you're trying to do, what you're
saying. He's saying the Congress could stop in the past. That be
No, what I'm saying is if Congress could No, I don't know.
Congress, Congress.
Okay, now, man.
And then, of course, the President is touring around and
people are not liking him. It's in Germany, they know exactly
what's going on
sending a message to Barack Obama. He's even set foot in
Germany. 10s of 1000s of protesters took to the streets
of Hanover on the eve of the US President's visit there. They
oppose a planned transatlantic free trade deal between the EU
and the United States. It will boost growth say supporters, but
critics warn it could drive down wages and undermine consumer
rights and environmental protection mission. We're here
to make it clear that we have concerns as the co chair of the
German Green Party. And that's true not only for the German and
European population, Americans are worried to activists like
this woman also reject a free trade deal between Europe and
Canada, which still needs final EU approval. Many people from
NGOs have been able to look at the documents she says and we
can see these are not just fears It's fact that companies will
get special legal rights that regulatory deals will be made
and retire Munch provision hit. President Obama will open a huge
trade fair in Hannover. He says his country's proposed trade
pact with the EU would create millions of jobs and billions of
dollars of benefits on both sides of the Atlantic. German
Chancellor Angela Merkel says sealing the deal would be a win
win situation. They clearly still remain to be convinced.
There you go.
I'm glad they're protesting.
I am going to add a custom gender to my Google profile
which is non would it be hyphenated non binary or just
two words
be hyphenated I think okay non
binary that'll look cool
and yeah is non would have to have a hyphen or be attacked and
Google should
refer to you as male female or other Yeah, I want other
other that's what I always did good
work. I am now non binary
non binary man.
What would that I think I should thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to you John C when the C stands for control
structure Devaraj Jack

second 1984 Right yes five oh
to that day for the good ones a good one
more people should do that. Henry Cunningham in Cincinnati,
Ohio, instead of writing nasty notes saying that we are be
constructive people. We had what was the one we had that one time
that guy said Oh no. Thank you. We keep getting this letter to
the one we're in fact you got one. Oh, this is a big
infomercial for plated or whatever.
Oh my goodness, several people like this video to move too far
and the native advertising. Really the fact that we don't
take Yeah, where's my check means that when we actually say
we like something that we mean about it? Yeah, we talk about
it.
We can talk about what we like and we do it without it. People
hanging money over our heads or luring us to do it. Yeah, you
don't get any average or not talk or constantly or even. We
mentioned a product or we also criticise products but the
product is outrageous to me.
Well, it's misunderstanding how it works. And if people think
that we would jeopardise our intellectual freedom over
plated, are you kidding me? I'm 51. That's an insult right there
as a really big insult.
Henry Cunningham in Cincinnati, Ohio is not insulting us with
$333.33 It has been way too long since I donated to the show. He
says so put me in the douchebag category. Oh agenda got me
through college as your level headed media deconstructions
helped me stay sane while watching through the sea of
humanity
waiting maybe?
What convinced me to donate again was the reminder of how
important the value for value model is when Brian Brushwood
and Justin Robert Young gave a shout out to the no agenda crew
at a live show in Austin. Oh, that's cool. On their podcast
night attack and they
always do it on like Saturdays and I can't make Saturdays it's
hard because it's prep night you know?

show as we're here and we continue to do it without any
help from sponsors for sures. Now the show come up on Thursday
as John said vorak.org/n A and during this weekend and even
monday tuesday work please go out there and propagate the
formula our formula is this we go out we get people in the
mouth shut up okie dokie
so I do have one two clips about the dust up which I think was
you know and again this is a little black I only have two
clips because it was stupid it's I did a little research to try
to get some something funny out of the Raleigh or the North
Carolina thing and it's just a to me it's just a it's just a
tempest in a teapot. Yeah, and unimportant. But it did bring
out the Donald Trump who says I don't think this is important.
We're not going to talk about it and it resulted in Brooks on the
PBS show saying I had to give him credit for this. He totally
is at the moment of total cognitive dissonance is Brooks
character but let's play the well first of all there's there
is an ISO that Cruz has Mazal play that proves ISO yeah my
eyes are looking gadget Cruz is good for ISOs let's see what
he's got for us.
Have we gone Stark Raving nuts?
Yeah, it's a phrase stark,
stark raving mad is the phrase
so he is like rejiggered the phrase Stark Raving nuts. Yeah,
but what can you use? What's wrong with the original? Was it
changing it for? I don't know. It just sounds lame. Yeah, here
he is. He's apparently you know, all in on whatever they're doing
in North Carolina and Mississippi, which is going to
ruin him. And so he's on the show. Where's my clip? Trump
versus Cruz. This is an I think on ABC. This is Trump vs. Cruz
on the bathrooms. I think it summarises where this thing's
headed.
We do turn out to the race for president and the new war of
words exploding between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Trump's
speaking out today against North Carolina's controversial law
targeting transgender people, Cruz accusing him of bowing to
political correctness. The new battle erupting when former
World Series hero Curt Schilling was fired for weighing in on the
law online MVC Cecilia Vega on the new battle, and this one has
nothing to do with counting delegates.
He is the all star who famously pitch the Red Sox to victory
bloody sock and all
perfect fit betting for Curt Schilling.
But tonight Curt Schilling smack in the middle of the Republican
campaign with this social media post a graphic image showing a
man dressed as a woman And, and the words let him into the
restroom with your daughter, the post in support of North
Carolina's law banning transgender people from using
bathrooms that do not correspond with the gender on their birth
certificate.
Okay, so Curt Schilling is the guy who made like $35 million as
a baseball player, one of the best pitchers we've ever seen.
And lost it all by investing in his own game company because he
was a World of Warcraft nut, and lost all his money. So he was
broke. And this happened very fast. There's a lot of stories
about so he's working for ESPN as an analyst, which is, you
know,
oh, he's the one that got fired, right? And he gets fired for
making a political tweet. And I'm thinking there's just yet
another good reason that the no agenda show doesn't have these
sorts of obligations is poor bastard can't say anything now
who essentially are muzzled?
Yeah, but you can. He just tweeted, I didn't think the
tweet was that funny.
Funny,
it was an interesting he should be fired for bad bad comedy.
That's fine with me.
But okay, yeah, I just thought it was
absolutely true.
I was thinking by our plated conversation go on.
Well, I have so Trump was on done that's in play the rest of
it.
I'm sorry transgender people from using bathrooms that do not
correspond with the gender on their birth certificates.
shilling writing a man is a man no matter what they call
themselves.
I stated a fact. Men's women's men's bathrooms were designed
for people that stand up and women's weren't
like Schilling quickly fired from his ESPN analyst job. And
today, Texas Senator Ted Cruz coming to his defence,
the idea that grown men would be allowed alone in a bathroom with
little girls. You don't need to be a behavioural psychologist to
realise bad things can happen.
But Donald Trump now making it clear he doesn't agree and is
against North Carolina's bathroom bans.
You leave it the way it is there have been very few complaints
the way it is
the GOP front runner is saying that if a transgender person
like Caitlyn Jenner came into Trump Tower, she could use any
bathroom she wants Cruz pouncing he thought that men should be
able to go into the girls bathroom if they want to.
Now let me ask you.
Have we gone Stark Raving nuts.
And Ted Cruz said Donald Trump is being quote no different than
politically correct. A leftist elites. But Trump says the North
Carolina law hurts businesses and by some estimates, Tom, the
boycotts could cost the state 10s of millions of dollars to
see
the veil. I have the full quote from Trump. If you're
interested.
Yes, yeah, go ahead. Great. Do a follow up on the cruise thing.
Yeah, that might fit in better. Okay. Ridicule cruise. So when I
was looking into this, I decided I watched the
women you got something better that can ridicule cruise. I'm
all in Let's go.
This is a good one too. So I decided to watch a gay USA,
which is the show on you are in a non binary mode. I was in a
non binary mood. And so I'm watching this show and it goes
on and there was nothing again that was that was noteworthy
except for this little gem that showed up in the middle of the
thing as they were they hate Cruz obviously, as any I think a
lot of gays do. But this is the Ted Cruz gay USA commentary that
is just a gem.
But Ted Cruz had a good week, he got the endorsement of lynne
cheney, who was the mother of a lesbian daughter, who said that
Ted Cruz tuned to our values. Much you probably didn't know
about his opposition to sex toys. Literally he supported the
bill to ban sex tall taxes
had a law banning the sale of sex toys and or in in some
circumstances and this law got challenged and he was the
Solicitor General or attorney general or whatever. And he
would defended it in court. Can you use
your fingers? I mean, I don't get it. What the hell are they
talking about you bowtie bands? Wow.
Who said that? Who asked that question. Who asked can you use
your fingers?
That's there's only two people on the show. It's Andy hum,
that's who asked. Yeah. And then the other one is and she was
being funny in his way. And the other one knows, I can't
remember.
Oh, that was what a dumb thing to say. Is
that yes, this is not the point. Okay. I'm
sorry. I just I rolled it back. I'll be quiet.
And he defended it in court. Can
you use your fingers? I mean, I don't get it. What the hell are
they talking about you? How do you ban sex toys?
It's Texas. What can I tell you? He also famously maybe as part
of this condemn said there was no right to personal sad sexual
gratification. and his college roommate said, well that's a
change of position
borderline
I just thought this was a shaggy dog story leading up to the
that the wine, you know, there may there may be some kind of
strange law in Texas. And that's only because we have two types.
I think it down to the same laws. If you drive on I 35 you
will see the following no matter where you drive in the great
state of Texas, you will see firework sails next to the
highway. These are big bunker like buildings. And you will see
the exact same bunker like building only three times as
large and those are sex toy stores and they got you know,
video booths and all kinds of stuff. There must be some law
that has that pushed it all into these next to the highway type
of beloved shacks. You know, it's like sex toy warehouse.
It's crazy. I gotta go into one of those and see what's going
on. Yeah,
see if you get a discount.
That's price. Best Price. So this would Cruz's paraphrase
into he wants men to come into the bathroom with little girls,
which of course Trump didn't say Trump didn't even say, you know,
Caitlyn Jenner can come in. Yeah, he was asked the question.
The witness was led. Just interesting to hear what he
actually said. Because it was cut up in many different ways.
It's terrible. This is what the media does what they do with all
of them, but Trump is really abused. Yeah,
I heard this one cut up many ways. Where it sounded like he
was saying, you know, they should do this. They should. We
should do this. We should do that. Even though it was well,
anyway, Listen to
the clip. Mr. Trump, please be specific. Tell us your views on
LGBT. How you plan to be inclusive as president speak
about North Carolina bathroom law in particular.
Oh, I had a feeling that question was gonna come up. I
will tell you. Well, North Carolina did something was very
hot, by
the way, proof that he knew the question was coming. Of course,
he knew the question was coming. He was ready for it.
Well, North Carolina does something was very strong. And
they're paying a big price. And there's a lot of problems. And I
heard one of the best answers I heard was from a commentator
yesterday saying, leave it the way it is right now to happen.
Now, very few problems. Leave it the way it is North Carolina,
what they're going through with all of the business that's
leaving and all of the strife and, and that's on both sides.
You leave it the way it is there have been very few complaints
the way it is. People go they use the bathroom that they feel
is appropriate. There has been so little trouble. And the
problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and
the economic I mean, the economic punishment that they're
taking. So I have been
working in your organisation.
I don't know. I really don't know. I probably do. I don't
really
know if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want
to use the bathroom you would be fine with her using any bathroom
she chooses. That is correct.
Okay, different issue. Also a social
is a big move to create new bathrooms from where that is for
transgender. That would be a first of all, I think that would
be discriminatory and it would be unbelievably expensive for
businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is. Now
these questions and it's just so sad it's so sad that this is
happening at all in America. So so incredibly, it's from his
right you know, people go to the bathroom they feel as
appropriate. You know, do we have problems with bathroom
bullshit you can of course that happens across all lines. It's a
non binary problem as far as I'm concerned, what I find
interesting and hypocritical at least that's how I view the
world. This one we have North Carolina and you know we have
people freaking out about individuals in society not
wanting to perform what they do well, making a cake you know,
decorating a wedding you know, the the creative, not wanting to
perform creative services based upon their belief. Yet when
Coldplay or whoever else says we don't want to perform in North
Carolina because of our belief then they're heralded as heroes
it's just two different opinions two different belief systems.
Why am I seeing this in an MSA? Am I seeing this wrong?
I don't think you're seeing it
wrong. It's just the hypocrisy or is there is
a hypocrisy element there's a lot of things that are the whole
thing is totally screwed up. I think Trump's nailed it. Well,
what was back off from the whole thing why are we doing this in
the first place just to make a point. And it's the point is
stupid because we this the whole situation is not even settled as
you could tell by that non binary person. Yes.
Been the word what is the non binary do can you choose? You
have to have 20 bathrooms I'm sure I will eventually that's
where I'll get down. Just maybe, you know, no, I don't want to go
down that road. Trump hired some guys some new, like a, like an
old school guy for his campaign. I forget who
this was the guy had a clip from we played it and a couple of
shows ago, right? The new guy, right? I thought he sounded a
little more New York ish. And I was expecting that, but when He
clipped me doesn't sound that bad.
So the new guy went out and did a little press. And if you
search for it on the Google or Bing or whatever you want to
use, you'll see it's everywhere. Trump's going to be no, he's
going to pivot now. It'll be more presidential, you'll see a
different pivot.
And I don't think he used that word. But that's exactly what
we're talking. Yeah. And
everyone buys into it. And everyone's it's almost like
fact, even though he's not really doing it. Yeah. Which is
kind of funny. But the pivot comes later, but then hear about
the other things he said on this today show outdoor interview
that were not brought up by Ted Cruz, which I think go much
further in what he's trying to what he wants to achieve and
making America great again,
let's talk about abortion. Another potent social issue, the
Republican platform, every four years has a provision that
states that the right of the unborn child shall not be
infringed. And it makes no exceptions for rape for incest
for the life of the mother, would you want to change the
Republican platform to include the exceptions that
you have? I would? Yes, I would. Okay, absolutely.
Do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy?
I do. I do. Including myself.
I got some pretty hot buttons there. That wasn't brought up
anywhere. That should have been Yeah, it'd be wants to change
the rules on abortion and soak the rich. Yeah. Okay.
Interesting, but that didn't get any play for some reason.
Because it's not done fit into the narrative, the non binary
narrative.
I wanted to just mention something briefly as a follow up
to Thursday show about the FCC proposal for new set top box
rules.
Okay, you want us to do a segment? A tech segment?
Well, yeah, we could do that. If you think do you have something
for a tech?
Well, I wanted. I think the iPhone payoff thing was part of
that. I think I may have a couple of things. I want to talk
a little bit about Microsoft 360. Office 360 just an opinion
Pete thing right in the middle of it. Well, and you do it now.
And yeah.
I don't know what happened to all of our techniques. Looks
like I don't know what happened. And our techniques jingles. They
seem to be gone. We have so many of them.
Now we got none. How can this be hold on? It's non binary. That's
what happened on
on this. This is This is crazy. Hold on a second. How can this
be? Well, can you do? Can you do it live? Can you? Can you do it
live? No.
Well, that's No, I don't know who you mean, do that. Got that.
That's not me. That's a touch. I don't know who that guy was.
John. I'm telling you the tech news. Jingles are gone.
Ah, how is this possible?
Things happen. This is a live show.
Yeah, well, I don't like this. Okay. Well, for some reason.
Okay. We'll do it this way, then.
On my phone.
That's right, time for tech news here on best podcast in the
universe. Alright, back to the set top box. proposal from the
FCC. I looked into this because it was bothering me that I
thought we were missing we were missing so we must have been
missing something. So the general idea is to break open
the set top box quote unquote monopoly meaning that you should
be able to get cable service along with internet but cable
service or service in general. That includes packages of
networks very much like a cable company would would give you but
that it could also go through your Amazon Fire thing or be a
Google device or a year after I
thought the cable plugged already plugged into the TiVo?
Well, I it took me a while to figure out really what the issue
is because I'm like, what, what can the problem be? Now of
course, the cable guys don't want to give up in any monopoly
whatsoever. And they all drastically want to move much
more towards an IP based infrastructure which a lot of
Marty have because it's a cable box. But really, it's it's like
any other box you get. It's just proprietary to them. So the kind
of throwing it on that we need to have the same DRM but that's
that's that's the red herring. So everybody can play bundle
these channels and do things with it. I figured it out. It's
about the ratings. It's about the statistics. And it's mainly
about Google who of course, as we know have an increased has an
incredibly close relationship with the Obama administration. I
mean, they're all over the place. The minute Google can
actually, you know, can show believably can show The Voice,
I'll just take one. And the voice does maybe 10, nine 10
million these days, maybe eight. The minute Google gets a hold of
that and can track because you have logged in, and DRM, et
cetera, they will have precise measurement of who is watching
the shows,
that goes interesting that
that goes against the making, that goes against the entire
system of the Nielsen ratings, which is, is only partially
based on, you know, second day, third day, and I think they, I
think they don't do it more than three, three days later, after
the fact viewing on video on demand. But real time actual
ratings, knowing precisely how many people watch which in that
case, a set top box manufacturer could do, that has to be avoided
at all cost. Because ratings are just a belief system. It's like
religion. Ratings are not actual factual numbers, not even close.
No, it's done by statistical analysis,
and diaries. And you know, it is
a few people that have a bar, and
many people will believe they've watched something when they
never did, it's just the marketing around it, that made
it but believe they watched or maybe they saw enough shorting a
very interesting way with a real estate, if everything was going
through a set top box of some sort, it could Mike could
especially Google, you can the internet is impossible to tell
if anyone's listening to your product, even if they're
downloading well. But it
gets worse, unless you have a login, you don't even know if
the download is really fast.
It could be right it could be just an RSS automatically
downloaded, you never lose. So the whole thing is up for grabs.
And so far as you know, keeping actual tabs on things. And
ideally would be, it would be a box that they could really
monitor because you could tell if somebody's listening to the
whole show, I mean, there's opportunity to have a show
running and then you could be in the kitchen. But that's you
know, that's always got factored in, but you will at least know a
fact that this person has this channel turned on. Now this
doesn't obviously affect over the air reception, which I think
is a fantastic product. You buy these nice little antennas,
these flat ones that come out, they'll get the name for you,
like find these things are astonishing. And they and you
can get great reception and the quality, the sound over the air
is generally better than you get on cable and the satellite. Ben,
you can't count that. But if you could somehow consolidate
everything, like have your over the air goes through this thing
too. You could really have something going on it but
also but also John, just think about the technology that Google
has at this point to auto insert as do a number of things. But if
they are sitting in between the customer and the streaming, so
they're not going to put ads into video products you buy. But
will they put ads into ABCs network feed? Yeah, probably.
Sure, this is the big fight. But it's when we really figured out
how little people are actually watching stuff. And that's not
to say that Google doesn't jack up their numbers on everything
themselves. Who knows that could be full of crap, I don't know.
But that's what the real fight is about that and that is always
the channel guide. You know, they're always like, oh, that's
the most important thing, the channel guide which quite
honestly, all these channel guides suck Hulu's reasonable
because you know, they do kind of track what you're watching
and telling when when there's a new episode but if you go
through Amazon, it doesn't know what Hulu Hulu doesn't talk to
Amazon so if you're on the fire stick TV, and you don't have
that data that's it gonna be a clusterfuck as always,
there's a lot of data missing
and someone put us into I think you're right this is
a religious is a religion is a belief system. Yeah,
well, ratings are 100% belief system. Just belief. It's all
that it is.
You're saying I'm sorry. I interrupted you. No,
that's okay. That was that was that was the that was the main
the main point I had about for today's tech news. Do you have
any any tech I have
tech news? I get lots of tech news. Let's first listen to the
iPhone million dn clip. cool way to me there's a better one. I
think there's two of these clips. There's a sewer there's
an iPhone. See if there's one from I think it's CBS. All
right, we'll just play that.
FBI Director James Comey suggested the agency paid more
than a million dollars to hack into the iPhone of suspected San
Bernardino shooters say at Farukh after Apple refused to
offer the FBI a backdoor into the phone On the legal battle
between the FBI and Apple ended when the FBI said it did crack
the iPhone without Apple's help,
I believe FBI pays a million Who's the other one you were
looking at?
Yeah, that one was a little better report.
We learned today that the FBI paid more than a million dollars
to a private computer security team that helped it break into
an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino terrorists.
The FBI found no links to foreign terrorists on the phone.
But Director James Comey said today it was still worth it.
Okay, let's ask this question to ourselves in a logical way. How
is it worth it? You squandered aim over a million million
dollars, which seems unlikely and I can't figure out why. But
you squatted over a million dollars to open his iPhone.
There's nothing on it, right? This is like ridiculous is like
Al Capone's vault. Good work. So anyway, it was like a scam.
Alright, I wanted to do these talk a little bit about
Microsoft stock is interesting, because it's been kind of
fluctuating and all kinds of weird ways because of their
investment, heavy investment into the cloud. And I'm
doing all this. The cloud protection, cyber protection
services, I see that all the time, that commercial,
they're doing a bunch of stuff, but the thing that they they do
the most is this office 360. And I'm a subscriber, I got admitted
the first year, I got a free free from Microsoft. And then I
have, you know, I can't, I don't, I haven't called them
back to get it renewed. So I've been paying for it. And I do on
a monthly basis, like nine bucks or something a month. And that's
a very interesting scam aspect to this because the product
isn't as good as the as the boxed product as far as I'm
concerned. And then they offer all this, you know, you have
unlimited cloud storage of all your documents and everything.
But as typical, with a lot of this stuff, it's very difficult
to move a folder full of files, you have to move file, you have
to create the folder over on the system. And there's ways around
design, oh, but generally speaking,
you mean just moving files from one folder to the other in the
cloud piece thing,
you can move a file, but you can't move a folder. Oh. So you
have to create the folder over there. And then you can move all
the files into it. And you generally it's like a it's a
very, it's a crappy system that is just not as good as having a
five terabyte hard disk hooked to your machine, which is not as
good and no matter what they tell you. But what's what's the
interesting part about this, I think what the genius of this
thing is, is that when you buy a subscription, you have five
other you have five accounts. Okay, not just not just one
subscriber, you get a subscription. The real
subscription is five subscription, you get five
accounts, how
many? How many, I just wanna make sure we know how many,
five, five, okay,
you get one for your main machine, create another account
for another machine, then you give your wife and account, then
you give your kid two kids and account to max it out at the
five. So when the subscription expires, it expires for
everybody. So you have everybody grossing at you is it doesn't
work anymore.
Which I I can't access my dick pics dead.
It was does not that they're accessing your machine, they
just have your own account.
Yeah, once we keep your dick pics in the cloud.
They don't have access to my cloud. I'm just saying that they
have a copy of word. Got it. That is part of the
subscription. And when word fails because the subscription
we're at runs out.
If you don't pay the if you don't pay the electricity in the
house, everyone's in the dark. I get it. That's because you had
worse
than that. Now, this is a lot different than that. Because if
you don't pay the electricity in your house, the other your other
subscribers in other houses, their electricity goes out to
okay, I gotcha. That's what I'm trying to make. They're not in
the house, we have a responsibility. So now you're
stuck having to subscribe to this thing forever. This kind of
genius. On the other hand, what it encourages, as far as I'm
concerned, no, no, just get them a bootleg copy or get him a copy
of open source. Open suite or whatever it's called. Star on
Libra libra office, Libra, Libra, Libra, everything. Libra
fine. And just find it is a little annoying. Now I've got to
support all these well,
didn't you just if you just renew it doesn't everybody get
their renewal or do you have to get Yeah, they do. So how hard
is it to just renew. But if you don't want to renew well, but
then they let them get their own account. Can't they switch it
over?
If you've already done them a big O you could have one of my
accounts. Five well the five
That'll teach you to be like a big man on calm on campus won't
well
you know, I'm just as a complaint of mine. That's So
this has been ongoing for several several episodes and I
believe that we now have the definitive way to help you fix
your pointer problem on Windows 10 Yes. And so the issue is John
wanted to increase the or make the his mouse pointer bigger
99.9% of the emails that came in address the both of us John
replied very angrily like I didn't say cursor, because
there's a difference between cursor and pointer. And I'd like
to help you now grow your cursor. Let's grow your cursor.
Okay, can you go to settings go to settings? This is almost like
I thought we should do it more like Do we have any aeroplane
sound I have settings Okay hold on aeroplanes. I want to make it
kind of more like this stewardess is trying to land the
aeroplane okay.
Again, good with settings. Okay.
Something called ease of access. Okay.
Located ease of
open Okay, now find something called mouse
I got magnifier high contrast was options. What was the
option? Okay, mouse. Okay. Can I see a pointer? Pointer sighs why
wouldn't this be? Let me ask why wouldn't this be under the mouse
settings under the Control Panel?
Because this is for invalid. This is for invalid in? This is
the invalid section of Microsoft. Yeah, because they
decide what the right size pointer is for you. And if you
want to make it better, then you have to go to the invalid
section which is called
an instal ease of access. All right, I'm clicking on the large
one. Okay. I will make sure Oh, there's colours Hold on. It says
pointer colour.
Best Tech News ever.
Now wait a minute says pointer Connors? Only white and black.
Where's the colour colours?
I don't know. You just hey, look, I've I helped you with the
the piece that you needed to be
okay, this, this will work. I think he said Where does it say
they should
just have a button like is do they still have a start menu on
Windows? 10? Yeah, okay, this should be when you click it, you
have a whole bunch of options, right? This should just be an
option says retards and then you'll know to go to that that's
exactly where you belong. Or that
okay, okay, that fixed it. Whoever came up with that first
we'll get a free karma

right. That's right. Thank you very much. That's right. Hey,
let me see you hack your Amazon Echo. Huh? Okay, douche.
I mentioned that to a couple people. And they said how do you
do it? And I said is apparently he's not going to tell me or
anybody else. And I would say that's a good thing to throw
back at him. Let's see. You hack your Amazon Echo.
You hack it.
You hack it? Well, we start off by I'm sorry. I
need to say one more thing. Because we have hacked the

with a picture. I like this some of these pictures are really
nice that people make of their of their rings set with their
Yes. Like they really like their photographers. They pose it
right they got a nice angle this little bouquet
people's people are proud of it. You know, it's it's symbolic,
but it's significance. Oh, I did have one little thing just to
kind of go back. It's kind of a tech news story since but we can
take it outside out of tech news because we've been highlighting,
you know, the the enormous just build on what am I saying
hundreds of billions really I should say trillions when you
account. We take all IT projects into account. But the cyber
thing was, you know, cyber, this cyber that and now we're going
to protect everybody that is Microsoft Cloud cybersecurity,
and of course FireEye the other the guys who exclusively been
picked to be the go between for information sharing between the
corporate America and the government. And one of them went
public. I think Friday. I don't know if you guys covered this at
all but worth a listen a volatile
start for the years first tech IPO cybersecurity firm secure
works dropped over 4% in the minutes after its NASDAQ debut
Friday, before clawing back those losses and turning
positive. The Dell spin off had already priced below its
expected IPO range at $14. Reuters reporter Heather
Somerville in San Francisco, the cybersecurity industry has been
under increased scrutiny because a lot of the companies have
shown they have technology that doesn't work. It doesn't keep up
with the hackers. A lot of it is more features and not real
solutions to attacks. In terms of secure works. There's a lot
of concern about the company's financials, it's losing money
faster than it's making revenue, which is generally not a good
sign cybersecurity companies have taken a hit after a spate
of high profile hackings in the last year FireEye, which cites
value more than quadruple in the months after its 2013 IPO is now
trading below its offering price. In addition, market
jitters and fluctuations in broader technology stocks have
kept investors skittish about the sector.
So what do you think I mean, to me, this sounds like a moment of
consolidation when to buy up some some of these companies
cheap and then the tide will surely turn with all the all the
new Acts and everything coming out with all the money going to
cyber. It has to be this has to be a consolidation moment,
but the tech side is not doing well. In general and there's the
IPOs are not showing up. It's got everybody concerned because
there's no exit there's no exit yeah, there's there's nobody's
that can't make any no way to get Your money out? Yeah,
exactly. And so they can't do the IPO. Are they ever time when
you know, we have to we have to have a blockbuster. What's going
to change things? Is, is a blockbuster IPO that everyone
falls in love with?
Yeah, what would? What would it be?
It'll come down and it goes up more. And then next thing you
know, it's fine fire. I didn't help whatever that thing's
called. No, no, no,
of course it didn't help went
way up and then came back down. So a lot of this has to do with
IBM, Intel, IBM, it's just buying a stock up as fast as it
can. It can't sustain his Oh, they're bad. They're buying
their own stock. Yeah, that's what everyone's doing. That's a
trick. You buy your own stock into the earnings got your
earnings that your company will go up your earnings
per share. Yeah. Share our standing. Right, right. Right.
Right.
It's it's the most use scam right now their earnings per
share way up. There's only one share.
Like that.
Oh, yeah, the climate gate thing if you want to do that,
Oh, does that mean we can open up the gate? I think so. I
always want to opening up the gate to the gate to the to the
clinic. Thanks, Obama.
All right. Now there's another one of those things that gets
people upset at us. Oh, this listen to the UN climate
resolution with John Kerry. Yeah,
this was the big signing ceremony. It took
all day. But more than 170 countries signed the landmark
Paris accord on climate change. Today. The ceremony took place
at the United Nations in New York, Secretary of State John
Kerry signed for the United States with his granddaughter
joining him. Beforehand, he acknowledged that deal falls
short of its stated goal.
The power of this agreement is not that it in and of itself
guarantees that we will actually hold the increase of temperature
to the target of 1.5 degrees or two degrees centigrade. In fact,
it does not and we know that we acknowledge it. The power of
this agreement is the opportunity that it creates.
Each nation will set non binding targets for cutting emissions of
carbon dioxide and other gases by 2025. The US target is up to
28% below 2005 levels.
We have a big meeting. And then they all sign off and he's
meanwhile is holding a little girl. Yeah. Because it was just
a to babies.
She's saving his granddaughter from imminent death or maybe
saving her from ham radio guys saving her I don't know.
Are those men in the bathroom? One of the three. Whatever.
You almost said it, you got it. Amen.
Yeah, one of the things that was noteworthy is that this thing
does nothing. It's non binding. It's just non binding. So So
what So why is it even getting any publicity. Meanwhile,
there's this event going on which is cracks me up, which is
this guy flying this aircraft which I am predicting is going
to not make it to Dubai. This is the solar aircraft. The battery
powered aeroplane was a play that
got its aghast at the UN climate meeting today. One of the pilots
fly a solar powered plane around the world. He spoke live with UN
Secretary General Ban Ki Moon earlier while mid flight over
the Pacific.
Oh, that's what you want. You're flying a paper aeroplane on
batteries and talk to that guy.
And that plane is headed here to the Bay Area. Our kiddo was
tracking it ahead of its landing at Moffett Field tomorrow night.
The entire flight is being streamed live on the internet
right now. The pilot or Tran Picard is on a marathon flight
from a wahoo to Mountain View. He took off Thursday morning,
cruising altitude is somewhere around 5000 feet, and they're
planning along at about 35 miles per hour. The plane itself is a
technological marvel covered with 17,000 solar cells, the
recharge for 38 kilowatt hour batteries. It charges before
flight, then flies around the clock recharges during the day,
all while in flight. The team claims the plane can fly
forever, and is limited only by the strength and endurance of
the pilot. The point of all this Solar Impulse want to prove to
the world clean technology has come of age and they want to
inspire kids, government leaders and entrepreneurs to do more to
save the planet. Climate change
is a fantastic opportunity for new solutions. New clean
technology solutions, exactly the same type of technologies
than the one of soloing posts that can keep an aeroplane
airborne day and night with no fuel
during landings get this crew members on bikes chase the plane
and grab handles on the wings so it doesn't tip over. They are
halfway through their trip around the world. Next stop is
New York City final destination is Abu Dhabi and Solar Impulse
to set to arrive here at Moffett Field sometime around Saturday
at 9pm. in Mountain View kit dough KPI x five. Well Oh,
this This isn't me my opinion. Yes, this is nuts. And how is
Hi? Oh, so height is the highest tech thing Oh, ever, ever
imagined. The thing is, besides being a huge fragile plane is
doing 35 miles an hour. How is this the future?
Well, it's I see it even differently. Now. I'm not an
engineer. I'm not a scientist. I barely have high school diploma
but podcasts are but to me and when I look at this thing, it
shows me the current state of the art we just heard this is a
technological marvel. I'm not going to say it's not. It shows
to me the technol technological state of our power to weight
ratio. You can't do shit with this plane. That is where we're
at right now. Just look at it objectively. Then look at what
we can do with other forms of power and tell me where are we
at you Yeah, we can fly supersonic. Yeah, I agree that
this shows this shows this shows the clean energy revolution
Well, it's back to the Wright Brothers yet
take off from Mountain View where this thing's gonna land on
a way where it gets guys take a leak. You fly from having a
drought you can fly that thing directly over over Russia and
back and some of these the spy planes and some of these other
long distance planes using fossil fuel. Not that I'm you
know,
no, I'm just saying it's fine. It's just to me It says we have
a long way to go this is the current power to weight ratio
that solar and storage mechanisms offer then Damn you
know, the Wright Brothers pretty much did the same by pedalling
they actually had a motor in that thing. The first one yeah,
very small derailleur station once it was right there and it
was cool look at is very interesting.
This this problem is pretty much the same as it was in 1890 when
electric cars were all the rage everybody had an electric car or
steam there was steam yeah but electric was the big thing and
and then when the combustion engine came along said Yeah,
okay well that's an easy one it doesn't seem like that much
better well that's not true the transmission and the the power
you know the whatever you call it the the torque of a Tesla's
Of course they insane
right? Running drive it for under miles and you're stuck.
Now, I was reading in The Guardian because you know,
Guardian. It's like, these guys got to be on on the level right?
These guys know what they're talking about. Big article,
Silicon Valley underwater. Telecom technology giants,
including Facebook and Google faced the prospect of their
prestigious Silicon Valley headquarters becoming swamped by
water, as rising sea levels threatened to submerge much of
the property development boom gripping the San Francisco and
the Bay Area. Sea level forecast by a coalition of scientists
show that the Silicon Valley bases for Facebook, Google and
Cisco are at risk of being cut off or even flooded even under
optimistic scenarios, where rapid cuts in greenhouse gas
emissions avoid the most severe sea level increases. I believe
you're in northern Silicon Valley, John, so you might
actually you might have some of the first lessons of what's
happened let's ask what's going on locally before we get to
those guys here we go have to be rejected boys.
This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay.
Only one person has the true facts on hand as he looks out
his window at the mud flats and John C. Dvorak. How are they
looking today
the mud flats today are just mud there has been no rise in sea
level whatsoever and I think this is by been true since the
turn of the last century.
There you go ever but what they're talking about. I don't
know either, but it's true. All right, so how about these areas
and apparently without significant adaptation
Facebook's new campus appears most at risk. I cannot believe
that as someone who was so socially and ecologically aware
as Mark Zuckerberg would allow two new buildings to be placed
where he knows ultimately he'll become flooded even though if
he's not alive anymore it will be a bad place why can't How is
he doing this? I mean, what they're thinking are these guys
are these guys in huge risk huge, huge
are the I here's one another thing this is what's going on in
Washington state right now is this guy was a comedian
economist and he's funny wasn't around promoting a bill that's
been introduced. I think it's gonna be a referendum, maybe
some of the public has to vote on a new tax on carbon, I think
in the country that's going to be directly attributed to carbon
carbon tax. And there's a nice little report on it from PBS
taxing carbon
by using a basic principle of economics,
which is that the way to get less pollution is to make
polluting expensive. Because when you make polluting
expensive, you get market forces working to promote conservation,
innovation, development, new technologies, all the things
that I as an economist love about capitalism.
And the way to make carbon based greenhouse gas pollution, more
expensive, says Bauman is to tax it. So he founded a grassroots
group, carbon, Washington, to put the issue to the voters
initiative 732,
it's going to be on the November ballot I sent through to worse
by charging polluters with a carbon fee, which lowers
pollution, and then that revenue that is created will go to
reducing other taxes in the state,
making the carbon tax starting at $25 per tonne of co2, about
25 cents per gallon of gasoline, revenue neutral
revenue from the tax, existing taxes. Most of it goes to cut
the state sales tax by a full percentage point,
wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. How does that
work?
Well, they do the calculation of what they collect from the
carbon tax and then they determine this this amount, and
thus, you can cut the sales tax to to reduce the amount of money
going to the state from sales tax. This of course, is
nonsense. There's never been a tax that's revenue neutral in a
such way they lie I've talked about before where they built
these bridges
over here. Yeah, one time, we'll have a one time fee,
one time fee, and then we're good to go. It's gonna be free
as never free. And so what you do is you lower the running,
jacking up the gasoline prices 25 cents a gallon, which is all
this is about as another money grab, and then claiming that
you're going to drop the other things that last until the next
administration comes in and says, Well, we were very happy
with an 8% sales tax before. Let's go back to that right
that'll give us this much more money, right? Are the these
crazy guys are put the lottery in California was good for us go
to go to education. Now what happened? They just took the
education funds and pushed them someplace else so that nothing
ever improved, right? This is an unbelievable scam that would
probably cripple Washington state's economy. And this is
going to start you know, but of course one state can have a
carbon tax and nobody else can because it would move all the
businesses out of that state
that well, technically you could be you know, would they be able
to find people across state lines for for their carbon
dioxide floating into our state's air? That'd be think
it'd be worth looking at.
And of course we again see the the synonym carbon dioxide is is
pollution carbon pollution
as well as just carbon carbon pollution.
Nothing polluting about it. But okay, Alec Baldwin
was out on what was it Earth Day, I presume? Earth Day?
Earth Day like this last Friday and turn your lights off? That
was
that was Earth Hour? That was? Yeah, no, I made my lights
purple. They kept them on longer. Course Yeah. Alec
Baldwin was out protesting and so much of what's going
on out there something that we have to treat it as if it's a
mental illness. I believe that climate change denial is a form
of mental illness. There
you go. All right.
He believes in some form of mental illness. Thank you Alec
Baldwin, clinical. In fact, Alec Hello, Alec. Hello, cattle. This
is the pot calling. Yeah, who's the who's the crazy one here?
So there was a I got the biggest kick out of democracy. Now. They
didn't do this thing on Tubman. And people that don't want to
see her on the 20
Oh, yeah, the view did that as well. I had it on my beat to
what's
so it turns out that I was thinking oh, there's a bunch of
right wing Ku Klux Klan people or something like that there.
David hate to see a black woman on the 20 or artists is just
think, though he's grimacing, not not a good look for the 20
No, it was just the opposite. Oh, is the old the lefty saying
oh, we can't have run the 20 Would you play the clip from the
bar
the most senior officers in our milk
sorry, US Secretary of State Jack Lew has announced the new
$20 bills will feature iconic abolitionist Harriet Tubman on
the front, replacing former president and slave owner Andrew
Jackson. The move comes after more than half a new million
people voted for Harriet Tubman to replace Jackson. But in fact,
President Jackson will not be removed entirely, simply move to
the back of the bill. Some have criticised the idea that Harriet
Tubman should represent US currency at all. In a 2015 essay
that went viral again yesterday, the writer Feminista Jones
wrote, quote, If having Harriet Tubman space on the $20 bill was
going to improve women's access to said, Bill, I'd be all for
it. But instead, it only promises to distort Tuchman's
legacy rooted in resisting the foundation of American
capitalism. Well, for more, we're joined by two guests in
New York. Stephen Thrasher is with us. He's a weekly columnist
for The Guardian us, where he wrote a piece headlined to put
Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill would be an insult to her legacy
here in Denver. We're joined by Winston Grady Willis. He is
Professor and Chair of Africana Studies at Metropolitan State
University here in Denver.
They chose to go on and on with the same kind of logic. Oh, no,
she was more important than that. You shouldn't be on
American currency. She hated the government. And my favourite
amongst this group of this argument was 20. This one funny
through one ironic irony about the whole thing is that's the
amount of money that government gave her as a as a pension. One
$80 for all the work she did, spying for the for the North in
the Civil War. And she got ripped off
also. Also, I think a lot of the other face baggers were out in
droves, you know, the, the conservative face baggers.
Conservatives, I think they're called, saying, oh, yeah, this
is great. We love this to have a gun toting Republican, whatever.
There's a couple of moments. Yeah, a couple of memes on
there. Yeah. Or like Dems replace, you know, dem with etc,
etc. So stuff like that. So there's this on cran. Again,
it's just, it's just as meaningless as the bathroom
debate is just its bread and totally meaningless. It's just
giving people some it's like, it's like the dress. Remember
though, it's blue.
It's it's old who always was it?
It's whatever it is, it's the same it's the exact same
argument exact same one. On the View, my beat if you don't mind,
we go from, you know, your beat to my serious beat journalistic
integrity. Well, of course, the you know what I mean, what could
the women of the view do, but I mean, how could they? Who could
they scourge with this?
Republic Republican, of course, Andrew Jackson,
who is was the President of the United States at some point, he
is on a $20 bill at the moment, he has been removed and they are
now putting on the $20 bill, the abolitionist Harriet Tubman who
was right. People Yeah, I don't think it's a good idea. Whoa,
feel that she's been overvalued. Watch who it is. Guess I love
Harriet Tubman. I love what she did. But we can find another way
to honour her. Maybe. Maybe a $2. Bill.
I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic. I would love to I
would love to leave Andrew Jackson and see if we can maybe
come up with another denomination. Maybe we do the $2
bill or we do another bill.
We already do that. $2 bill?
Well,
the question was dumb Trump.
Well, and it was so well, no, he said another denomination,
another denomination like a $2 book. No,
no, no, no, no. Or another denomination. He's more than $2.
Bill. Yeah, he's no he's not dumb. He knows is a $2. Bill.
Okay, but how do you think the women from the view respond to
this? To put her on the $2 bill lipstick? Because
Harriet Tubman is a black woman and not a white man and horrible
white man.
Now we're talking about not putting her on the $20 bill, but
putting her on the $2 bill.
Oh, that would be demeaning. Thanks. Nobody uses a $2 bill.
Oh, you'll get to see that. But you want to see her more? I
would suggest putting her on the 50. Here
is where I get to say yes. There was a whole scholar of these
arguments.
Maybe we do the $2 bill but we do another bill.
Andrew Andrew Jackson owned at least 600 slaves. He was
definitely vicious slave owner.
I never heard that a vicious slave owner, as you would know
was oh, he might have been I don't know, was he a vicious
guy? It
was in a hole. It was a major nobody liked
600 slaves. He was certainly vicious slave owner, by the way.
Removal policy and genocide against invading Florida. You
know what's so shocking to me is where the $2 come from. What
does that have to be a $2? Bill? I just don't understand that.
And in fact, there are a lot of songs that talk About a $2 hoe
and for some reason, it angered me so
much, because, you know, because Trump in, in, in Carson, they
sat together and said I got a good one. Let's use code to call
a Harriet Tubman a hoe. Yeah, good one. Good one a good one.
And that's exactly what Carson went, Oh, well, yeah, good one
angered
me. But on the flip side of that, on the flip side of that,
I know when I receive a $2 bill, I never spend it because it's so
it's not in rotation. You know what I'm saying? Exactly? It's
not in rotation,
okay. It may be in circulation. But if the $2 bill is in
rotation, then we got to look out because I think could chop
your head off.
So it's not in rotation? You don't I'm saying exactly if
John was put the dollar bill in high rotation this week on the
station, shall we? Wow, bunch of morons, not in rotation.
It's not in rotation. It's not a lot in rotation. And I hope and
I'm just hoping I really hope that they didn't say to dollar
because of the value. I hope they said it because it
was special. Now they said it because it's obscure because no
one uses it. No one sees the phrase phoney as a $2. Bill.
Yes. Yes. A phrase.
This is a $3 bill.
I know. I know. I know. I know. And the very enlisted the very
in which he says you stepped
out of the fray. Tony as a $2. Bill. Yes, yes. A phrase. They
know what they're doing those two. They know what they're
doing those two. They know what they're doing those two they
know what they're doing those channels. They know what they're
doing those two they know what to do and
knows to phoney as a $2 bill. Wow. Wow, wait, we can make your
argument Bay har. The expression is phoney as a $3. Bill. I think
it's actually queer as a $3. Bill, I believe
phoney I've heard phoney, you've heard phoney as well. Yeah.
phoney is a $3. Bill. Yeah, she says.
So we had this not
phoney. I mean, what she talked about. So
what they took insane. So here's the here's Trump and Ben Carson
saying well, yeah, how about the $2? Bill? You know, it's I don't
think there is a head on the $2 bills that are prompting this
person on that today. Yeah,
there is who's on the to miss Jefferson is on the $2 bill. I
didn't realise. And I'm going to replace him with anybody or
they and the suggestion is have a whole new denomination also an
interesting idea, I think the implications of it. But then
that's immediately taken as Oh, yeah, no demeaning devalue. It's
not in rotation. No one sees it. So it'll be obscure. Oh, and $2
Whoa, wow. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. But throw up in my
mouth again, just the second time hearing it. I'm glad you
watch that show. It gives me indigestion. There was a little
little thing that was actually to do something brewing. Well,
that's why I'm highlighting it at the end of dodgy Dave
Cameron's. The answer to the question about Barack his friend
baraque, special inflation a dodgy Dave dodgy Dave and
bumhole baraque. He mentioned something at the very end of
that. And and there's another piece I want to play because
there's something afoot,
sovereign people, the choice we make about Europe that I think
it's right to listen to, and consider the advice of your
friends and just amplify one of the points that baraque made. We
have a shared interest of making sure Europe takes a robust
approach to Russian aggression.
We have a vested interest to make sure you're up to as a
vest. That was it takes an aggressive approach against
Russia.
Play that again, that the in part
that has not really been highlighted. But anyway, here we
go.
The advice of your friends and just to amplify one of the
points that we have a shared interest of making sure Europe
takes a robust approach to Russian aggression.
I'm sorry, a robust approach towards Russian aggression. And
I caught that I was saying to myself so to sum up with that,
the mean, we know that we're against Russia, but now we're
really just saying instead of fighting little proxy wars
everywhere in the desert with brown people, I might point out
and then when I saw this, I knew that something is coming
something big may be coming, the getting ready for it. It's all
part of these flybys. McCain did we Oh is right, where's your oh
sound? Yeah, McCain. Oh, did one of his phoney television setup
gambits on the hill where he gets one guy one effect, he got
General Scaparrotti in and then he asked questions like, Do you
believe we'll be attacked by the Russians?
Do you usually as I know the way Lindsey does Do you agree or
not? Lindsey McCain? No, no. I said Lindsey does this okay. Do
you agree with me? That bla bla bla bla bla Do you agree that
blah blah, blah? It's like okay, yeah, sure, I agree. Whatever
you're
now if you look at this and there's a there's a C span clip
in the show notes at eight, one niner.no agenda notes.com.
You'll see that there's, it's just McCain with one person
standing off to his right shoulder, the other chairs are
empty. And General Scaparrotti is sitting there and
everything's empty behind him. It's a rather tight shot. But
you know, typically you have advisors, lawyers hangers on the
press. Yeah, it's anybody there is nobody there. So this is only
used so that he can then said, Oh, well in in a question. I
know in a session on the hill. So we just heard dodgy Dave
talking about the unified front we have the vested interest in
taking a stand. Yes.
And in the last show, you pointed out where they were
talking about a European RFP and army. Yep. So they what they
want to do is these a holes, one a march on Russia, that is what
they want to do. And here
is more proof of it. So
the most senior officers in our military general Nellore, Milan
Milley Silva and Dunford testified Russia is the greatest
threat to America. Do you agree? Chairman? I do agree. And New
York Times story this morning Russian submarine threat the
Mediterranean North Atlantic. Are you concerned about sea
lines of communications in the Atlantic in Suez? Chairman, I am
concerned Russian fighters made passes inside of 50 feet. You
heard my opening statement? What What should be our response to
this gross violation of international law? Chairman, I
believe that from a military perspective, we should sail and
fly wherever week we are allowed to by international law. And we
should be strong, clear and consistent in our message in
that regard. This may sound a little tough, but should we oh,
boy, should we make an announcement to the Russians
that if they placed the lives of our men and women on board Navy
ships in danger that we will take appropriate action? Sure, I
believe that should be known. Yes.
Okay. So that was pretty obvious what he was doing there. The
most important ones were the sea lines in danger of being cut in
the North Atlantic. So that would be a geographic area we
have to be aware of. And the fly bys which are not a violation of
international law, there is an agreement, but it's not a law
and there is an agreement and we've everyone violates it. It's
what you do when you're when you fly a jet you kidding me? What
everybody does, how it works, but that is that is being used
to say we should not divert, go for the collision. And we need
to tell Russia, where we're, we're pissed. And we're serious
about it. So that's coming, I can only presume that is coming
or some other events, something will go down. And you know, you
boats, maybe that's we have to be afraid maybe that's next sub
Russian submarines again. Can Use?
I don't ask for this often. Okay, but can you replay a clip?
This barrage clip that was played very early in our
analysis?
Yes. You mean, you mean the one that we played this morning?
Yeah, yeah, here it is
called there is a bigger motivation. And that is with
this trip. And with what he said he's guaranteed his financial
future. He's done the bidding of the giant American corporates
who want Britain to stay in the EU. Why? Because they want this
TTIP transatlantic Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
deal done so that the big American corporates can buy up
chunks of our public services, including the National Health
Service. That's a bigger motivation. Okay.
Yeah, it's all part of this giant corporatism scheme. Yeah,
I would agree. And the Russians are just you know, since they're
not in the ever since the, this all began with two
circumstances. One, Snowden I'm like, I keep harping on that,
but that doesn't go anywhere. And the other one was when the
Russians nationalised Gazprom? Yeah, that moment is when most
of this stuff started up, because it was like Gazprom has
to be, you know, part of the corporate world and part of the
system independent part of the system, part of the system and
or not another part of the Russian government, and whoever
every one of these including with us, Soviet Venezuela, their
oil companies are part of their government. This has always been
a, you know, attack that we tried to kill that guy a couple
of times and finally died of cancer. Hugo Chavez and
Ecuador's got issues like this Mexico is like we're just our
neighbour. We don't do as much but we still don't like the fact
that the Mexican government owns. Well was Iceberg Slim is
not as nice Seberg slim, guys burger slim owns a piece of it.
And I guess he plays plays ball iceberg. Slim, by the way is a
writer who wrote the fantastic, very popular book in the I think
he was in the late 60s. Pimp. I must read for every no agenda
listener, pimp play iceberg slip.
Iceberg Slim. And
I can't wait to read this book by Mr. Bhatt, Iceman, Mr.
Iceberg, Mr. Iceberg to you? Well, it certainly seems obvious
that Russia is not playing ball. And I think you're right about
the Gazprom thing. In fact, I think a week or two ago, I was
reading a story. There's been legislation and there's a big
like $50 billion, or something or euros that is being that is
frozen in the Netherlands and a court in the Netherlands said,
Well, you know, we're not ready it's going on for years, about
this money being released and who belongs to a member all that
bullcrap. So that somehow plays into this and you know the Dutch
of course, are they protect their their relationship with
Russia? And business is the Dutch economy runs on the
Russian goods?
Well, the only one I'm sorry, but they seem to be the only one
that's not that many countries that even though they do a half
hearted job of it back to Russia, there's not that many
right? Well, they do what they can and and Putin when you get
to watch his doing as he does this call in show yes for
watching, he's always bitching about the internationalist
globalist are always trying to they're trying to take over the
place and he doesn't like the idea because they're not in on
the day. They're getting a good piece of this action all
if I were to advise the guy, but I would say all you need to do
is one time just do it in English one time, just say what
you need to say in English. And you'll get a lot of traction.
Too much pride to do that. Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess
you're right. Because it has to be perfect English had to be
coached. He could do that. I mean, it'd be learned like a
script and just sound like he speaks good English.
He speaks English. He speaks English.
It speaks English. Because German two
final thing for me is a little update on the of course we're
still in the throes of this deal. Not working. We see even
more refugees, diverting going from Turkey to Greece. You know
when Prince died same day or the day before 500. You know,
capsized in a boat and die. The boat capsized. 500 people died.
We're still slowly the United States of Europe slowly shipping
people back. Meanwhile Erawan is always the man is off his
rocker. He bi now you now arrested a Dutch journalist who
has been very critical of Erawan. But she was vacationing
in Turkey. I think her mom has Turkish she's half Turkish. And
she was tweeting about the dictator or Taiwan while she was
on vacation in Turkey. Yeah, guess what? Yeah. And then she
tweeted, hey, the cops are in front of the door. Well, yeah,
exactly.
Don't it's funny. Don't
do that. Don't do that. Ed and
was like the picture tweeting, you know, some commentary on the
North Carolina situation and getting fired from ESPN. Yeah,
these these systems are not for your good for your health.
No, no, certainly not. In fact,
there has been one report after another but because there's some
new numbers that came out on suicides. And let's see what's
the best one is play this suicide news on PBS clip.
You kind of took me away from my Oh, I'm sorry. I just want to
play just a little you know. It's okay. It's right near the
club's not worth it. Give me your suicide clip here. Let's do
this.
Well, the reason I just because I brought up the the you brought
up the person going on? Yeah, I'm
sorry. Here's the news. Everyone's crazy. Migration
invasion of Europe continues. The money still not going to
Turkey? Because they can't figure it out in the European
Starfleet Command.
And we're ever going to give Turkey the money. No, no,
but they'll have to because he's just going to keep sending more
and more people. What do you think the 500 Dead is all about?
Why didn't you stop them from getting on the boat? Alright,
yeah, well, there's that Yeah. All right PBS or do our
democracy now.
Which one do the PBS you got the full
opening. They're
released news statistics about suicide in the US, and the
results were sobering and stunning. The nation suicide
rate is at its highest point since 1986. nearly 43,000 people
and ex Obama lives in 2014, which is the most recent year
with full data. Hari Sreenivasan has more on the story from our
Our New York studios.
The rise in rates were particularly alarming among some
age groups. While the numbers are still smaller among
children, the suicide rate was up sharply among 10 to 14 year
old girls, tripling in the past 15 years. It also rose steeply
among middle aged Americans 63% higher for middle aged women 43%
higher for middle aged men. For some perspective on these trends
and some of the potential reasons behind it. I'm joined by
Katherine Hampstead who studies this for the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation. For the record, the foundation is a funder of the
NewsHour. So Okay, which of these sets of numbers? I mean,
we just went over a couple of them, but stood out to you when
you saw this?
Well, I think there has been concern about the middle aged
group for a while now. And people have been noticing
increased rates for both males and females. And with these
latest results, we see really, really large increases for women
in particular, and a closing of that gender gap as the the
female rate starts to be, you know, closer to the male rate
that women try more, but men succeed more is that one of
those? I mean, I think I think that it's
the non fatal to fatal ratio. For females, there are many more
attempted self harms that don't result in fatal incidents. But
now, we see with this new trend, we see the rates getting closer,
and we also see a change in the methods so that we see this
increasing adoption of suffocation or hanging as a
suicide method by both males and females. And that is a highly
lethal method. Wonder why
now they go on and on about they try to they don't really come to
any conclusions that do things that were completely left out of
the report, especially when it regarding the, like teens that
are killing themselves, teen girls, one social media is not
discussed at all, as a as a contributor
can ask your question, our little things like SSRIs, in
discussing this at all
SSRIs are not discussed in this at all. Oh, no drug drugs are
not mentioned.
The number one side effect of all these things is suicide.
Yeah. Suicide is indeed combination of social networking
and the craziness that surrounds it. Yeah, as you know, the
craziness that surrounds has not discussed the SSRIs. And the
drugs that these kids are just routinely given is not
discussed. And they just discuss kind of vejo what's causing it?
I don't know. It's just unbelievable. And this was every
report on this. Every report it was on it was and it was one of
these things it was it was a shotgun, didn't they? Whoever,
PR companies behind it, I don't know. But it was on democracy.
Now. It was on CBS. It was on everything PBS one was one of
the better ones because there was a woman come out and get
nobody brought up the obvious causational issues. I mean,
there is a depression in the country. That's that has an
effect on people. Yeah, sure. But that's, this doesn't really
account for the huge gaps, because this is recent data. And
this is Depression began pretty much in 2009.
We know that we'll never discuss this because they are
underwritten in many cases by the pharmaceutical industry.
Yeah. And you think they played a PBS one, because this is the
one that's least if any of you watch network news. In fact, I'm
gonna do this on one of these shows. And you just look at the
ads, the ads on any network news show are 70% pharmaceuticals.
Yeah, one after another after another. It's unbelievable. So
they're never going to discuss that. But PBS has an operating
possibility that they could even though they got underwriting
that's this is the problem with media today. We get the analysis
is just not there.
And it can't be there because of the system because of the the
money flows. It can't be there because of how the system works.
So you're not going to get anything from these people.
Let me hear the DemocracyNow
version. Suicide rates in the US have hit a 30 year high with
particularly high surges in the rates for women and middle aged
people. Researchers said the spikes may be linked to a drug
academic among white Americans, increasing economic instability.
Harvard professor Robert Putnam said, quote, this is part of the
larger emerging pattern of evidence of the links between
poverty, hopelessness and health.
And did they say when they specify legal drugs or illegal,
they're talking about Oxycontin? They're not talking about Yeah,
to drugs.
So if Prince Odede on oxy, this will never this cannot come to
light. This cannot be discussed.
And I'm not sure that that's true. It can't I think it can be
discussed because they do discuss this a lot in different
kinds of news stories. And it if we're looking at the thing
that's interesting, there was a there was Richard Branson was on
one of these shows, talking about legalising drugs because
the UN came up with this big meeting, right? And they and
they decided just to keep things the way they were. I'm going to
harken back and Branson brought up Portugal he's had all the
right he had a lot of points, but I Want to bring back your
potential thesis here? This benefits the bankers? Yeah. And
so none of this is you don't want to deal with any of these
issues at all, because the banks would suffer if if right
the banks when when people are hooked on legal drugs because
they're hooked on legal drugs to an extreme and they're handed
out like candy, which flows into the health insurance industry,
which is the financial sector. And that flows through the
banks. And when people can't get there, when they're hooked, then
they go often to the illegal drugs, which is really the
that's where the real big money is big money and and especially
in the laundering of it. Yeah, that's what we run on. And then
war stuff. And then 10% We're driving each other around Uber
bringing each other food Welcome to the economy of lated plated
that's the right way I'm not saying I'm not a part of it.
It's a hopeless situation. And I want to remind people, you
should be supporting the show that you're listening to right
here. Because we talk about this stuff within the perspective
that is pretty much censored from the other system because
that system has been corrupted by the money and an unbelievably
bitching at us for like discussing. You're talking about
these things being scams, certain scams. I'm sorry, but
that's what they are. Yeah. Anyway, I hear you, I hear ya.
All right. Well, we'll keep our ears to the ground. We'll keep
reaching for the stars. And we will return on Thursday. I'm
leaving tomorrow to keep an eye on our way to Euro land. You're
on your way yeah, we're on our way tomorrow. Respect
