There's too many points. That's
what I'm saying.
Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, September 24 2017. This is your award winning demo
nation media assassination episode Niner six seven. This
is no agenda for addicting Putin will
pop up in Germany and coming to you from the darkest corners of
the downtown Austin Tejas capitol to join star stay in the
kludi Oh, in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're gluten free. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
always felt that's kind of synonymous for fun. Free. Yeah.
It's like I'm gluten free. Oh, you have no fun. Oh, I'm so
sorry.
So they had this a picture that I retweeted on the Twitter's it
said gluten free marijuana was a shop in Oregon. What else was
said? was the name of the shop. They want our cleaners, I guess.
Oh, okay. I got it. I got it.
I got it. Well, we may not have as many live listeners today.
They, you know, Apple came out with iOS 11. Everyone's Whoa,
let me upgrade right away. I can't wait from new stuff from
Apple. This shoe right? Here's a no agenda tip. Everybody, this
is not a good idea. It's never a good idea of always wait for
release, at least this the second the fix release, which is
usually shortly thereafter, usually when people's phones a
break for about three days. And so anyway, so somehow our stream
link doesn't work. And it's something where there's the
streaming protocol have implemented I don't know, so
that we do have a URL that works that has been passed around.
Just one of those things, man TAs.
I know you think after 30 years of this,
how about eight versions of the of the iPhone, you know, but
don't you remember those times? It wasn't working?
It's just astonishing to me. Yeah. Hmm.
Well, let's see. Ah, yes. Ah, excellent. I didn't find there
was a lot to watch over the weekend. Really? Oh of the head
those stupid Global Citizen awards again every year when the
UN
that Yeah, I mean, clued me into it. And then I just,
ya know, we caught we caught it late as well. And it's really
great to watch because it's in Central Park. They've got to
your favorite boys. Were there, Green to Green Day. Those young
guys, you know?
Yeah, those guys,
those young kids you think are going somewhere Billy Joe and
Joe in the gang and Billy Joe and Jack Daniels and which is
great to see them completely sell out to the New World Order.
Because the only people who are in the sun died a long time ago.
The only people who are in the front row are the first 20 rows
are the spouses and mistresses. Children, friends of the elites
who are in as we discussed in New York City with their
diplomatic license plates, and everyone's you know, it's for
them. They're rattling their pearls. Yeah, go Billy Joe. And
they had associated Awards, which I think was also New York.
Then they bring out these great people like Queen Rania of
Jordan, you know, beautiful people who are not threatening.
It used to include the the Bashar Al Assad and his wife,
but they messed up so they're off the list. They're not on
Yeah, they're not backstage anymore. Justin Trudeau received
a global citizen award a 30 seconds of his acceptance
speech,
we need to be every bit of strong, every bit as vigilant in
opposing the scourges of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia
ethnic and religious bigotry, Neo fascism, Neo Nazism, and the
violent extremism of diass that confront us in 2017.
Just like LGBTQ q ia p, that means an acronym. Yeah, I'd say
and I think he forgot. He forgot to say Christianity, we got to
fight against them. At least it seems like that's what's going
on.
It just sounds like a douchebag event.
Yes, it's a total douchebag event. That's what makes it so
great to watch. It's fantastic.
Yeah, I probably should have why I'm sure I could watch it if I
want to. It's probably going to be replayed and I'm sure it'd be
passed around like crazy on the internet.
Ya know, the performances are good. That's fantastic. But he's
not all right. So what else did you do? I
watched a couple of the things that I wanted to catch up on. I
caught up on the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary, which is
Yeah, mind blowing
said that. It looks pretty good. Have
you seen any of it?
Yeah, I've seen pieces of it it looks pretty good. He's he digs
into a lot of the kind of the the story that actually did come
out after once McNamara released his autobiography or whatever it
was, you want to call it. And he admitted that it was a screw up
and we shouldn't have been in the war in the first place. We
didn't know how to get out of it. And I guess it burns takes a
little further with some additional research into the
beginnings of it and how we are Yeah, buddies with Ho Chi Minh
right.
Here's what I didn't know. Have you turned us on years ago to
the Paris 1919 film which I would recommend? Again,
everybody needs to watch this. Paris 9019 And it's about the
negotiations where after the First World War they the
everyone pretty much sat down and said okay, let's divvy this
up. And they looked at that big desert and said all right, he
rock here draw a line. They're wrong. There we'll throw Syria
Hey, Jordan, let's come up with something new country here this
through all kinds of countries together. But that's when Ho Chi
Minh was at that meeting and pass the letter to was at
Roosevelt must remember things Roosevelt passed a letter saying
please, I would like us
in 1919. It would have to be Teddy rose Teddy Roosevelt.
Yeah. But was it was he there? Because it was Woodrow Wilson
was the president. It
was okay. Thank you, Woodrow Wilson, the to the president, he
had a note passed. And he said, I really want independence from
my country. And he really started you know, that that far
back? That's why, you know, of course, he kind of became the
spiritual unelected leader of Vietnam and has Oh Chi Minh City
named after him. But what I first saw uncle Don's, in at
least in the first three, I've seen him a couple times. And I
believe this was the the interviews were taped eight
years ago, seven or eight years ago. So it's not like no fresh,
and they've probably worked on it for eight years. But what
what does become clear from the documentary, and that's why I
want you to see it, so we can get it from your perspective,
just from a different different to general generation, is how,
what we were doing there, and of course, Korea before that was to
stop this scourge of communism. And, you know, you had everybody
showing maps on, you know, even on TV, like, oh, look all this
red here, because you had China and you had Russia and Russia
had all of the, you know, the the Eastern now Eastern European
states, and how dangerous it was. And when you just interview
people, what you're doing this documentary, you see the fear it
was and that's why all we have to we have to stop communism,
communism can't come below the whatever the parallel is there
for South Vietnam. And, you know, ultimately, it was a very,
very tragic number of decisions. But I think it's really good.
Time, there was a thing that was very popular is all these things
you have to read. Every time we turn around, there's something
new that comes along, that becomes very popular and
everybody buys into it. Global warming. Yeah. It was called the
domino theory.
Oh, yes. Yes, it's right. They discussed it. Yeah, exactly. The
domino theory.
Yeah. So they and that was the big deal. Everybody would do all
the news people everybody was we're all in on the domino
theory. And domino theory was that, that apparently, the world
consisted of dominoes. And so and one of them fell hit the
other domino because it wasn't as though they were playing the
game of dominoes. They were playing they stand up dominoes
and make them fall over. Right. It's a different kind of game,
which isn't even a game yeah. And that was the problem it was
the South Vietnam fell then it would next thing you know, it'd
be Papa New Guinea, that would be Australia and New Zealand. It
all turned communist, right. Because the dominant was
right. Well, everybody was all in that's for sure. At least
that's the way it seems from, from this documentary.
Everybody was all in that's the kind of the interesting part,
but I have to watch it. Well, they're starting
to show that now in episode three. They're starting to show
the war protest, but there's a lot of back background history.
And one other thing we were watching and I felt since it won
all the awards, and we discussed it and certainly since Tucker
Carlson said it was a piece of crap. We want we started
watching The Handmaid's Tale. I was very surprised by this. Have
you seen any of this series?
I don't know why you cut out would you just as you said the
name of it as somebody
that's censoring you? The Handmaid's Tale.
Yes, I have not seen it. I know. It's good one. Just a ton of
awards and accolades. And I haven't and I don't know what
what's it about? No, I don't even know what it's about.
Well, the premise is, it's kind of future set in the future. And
the idea Is we women. This is the story. And I've only seen
three or four episodes so I could get this someone wrong.
But the idea is, because of how we were progressing in our
society, women became more promiscuous. And they just, they
didn't want to have babies, I guess they were having, you
know, getting dogs instead, just like Italy. So they became
started become infertile. And then there was some terrorism,
which is implied that it was phony baloney false flag, and it
was martial law. And then cities were blown up, and they couldn't
reproduce. So in order to stay to save the Republic, they have
to have women who can who can reproduce, reproduce all the
time. And you get these classes of women you have the the low
level, they're dressed in red, and they're they're just baby
machines, and they are owned by a family and you know, the guy
has sex with them at least once a month and with the wife,
they're in the room. And so it's
the wife is so it's so it's kinky sex is that with this?
Well, here's
what it's rated at. Because what's interesting is it's
really how women have become and they go through the whole
process. Women have become the the problem, they need to be
contained. And they're in complete slavery, all women
bend. And so what's interesting about this, as I'm watching
this, from a current perspective, like what was going
into this and this lobbying the the resistance, there's, you
know, men are the problem. You know, there's a lot of these
undertones of hey, the way I the way I view it, just watching
this, I'm thinking in the back of my mind, someone's making
this to say, hey, you know, what, if you don't watch out,
men are gonna screw us and enslave us all. The here's what
was interesting, is okay, and so it's, it's okay, it's okay. It's
very interesting to watch. Tina, the keeper. She says, Oh, my
God, this, she's, she's completely into it. And I said,
Well, you know, what do you feel about this? I feel that this
could actually happen. In fact, in this regard to it is
happening. Just look at the EU look at what's happening with
some Muslim enclaves, Italy. So there's a lot of this, it's an
interesting thing. I don't know. I gotta watch the whole series,
and then I can give a better opinion.
Yeah, that's your beat now?
I'll take it.
I'll tell watch one show. Um, I already know. I don't know how I
can sense these. When you get older. You can sense these
things. I already know. I'm not gonna like it.
I think you may be right. Yeah.
So let's say what you've been what you've watched two or three
episodes, three, four, and maybe three or four. Okay. Which one?
Should I watch of the group? Oh, geez.
Now, it's one of these things that it takes a while to set up
and then you're literally
just watch one episode one and then give up?
I you'd have to watch one and two. But I don't know if you can
make it. There are two hours
I probably can't even get through one doubt you can make
and never know I might find some interesting. Something about it
that intrigues me. I just get the sense that I'm not going to
know I don't think I don't think
you will. Okay, well. I'm sure I'm already thinking it's corny.
Yeah.
It Well, it's not corny. It's okay. It's I don't know, there's
things that I'd like you to check it out. I say
I have a definitive clip of the show one which I which I will
use to bounce off my ideas. Okay.
Fabulous. So I've been the research we've been doing. And
one of these things has been who was behind this? No, this Pelosi
protesting the DACA also just watching how people are
responding. You know, we had there were a whole bunch of so
called dreamers who interrupted my age. Yes.
My wife. My wife. Yeah. Listen, she listens to the show. No,
come
on. Well, she had a long drive. Yeah.
So she listened to the she's really enjoyed the Pelosi
deconstruction thing. And she did mention a couple of things.
She says Pelosi as a as kind of a control freak should be
controlling the situation. That's how she got the job of
speaker when she was speaker. And this kind of thing would is
extremely upsetting to her. She says there's no question about
that. And she also agreed that the idea of these kids all
repeating after each other like a group of drones mind control
that mic check she says is absolutely frightening.
She hadn't you didn't hear that during Occupy
occupy was different because in Occupy they had a reason to do
it. They were prohibited from using a microphone PA systems
and and they were there was a huge crowd So to get to get a
question asked, it has to be related in that way. But when
newness in a room where one guy can just say what he wants
instead of everybody repeating after, it doesn't make any
sense. So it's a huge difference.
But we have some some dynamite research from producer Joseph,
on the group's behind this particular protest. As you know,
we were skeptical about the guy in the shirt and tie who has
always scripted stuff. I feel that by them saying they want a
clean bill was seemed like very much talking points.
Professional, some professional signs, you know, there's all
these things. So I want to give you a rundown of that, but
first, we probably should listen to the mainstream media. And
Senator Shaheen, who is from LSU from North Carolina, North. I
think North Carolina and what she thought about these
protesters Now recall that the protesters were very angry at
Pelosi because they didn't want to be used as a bargaining chip.
It was right there. I mean, only had to do is watch the you know,
2530 minutes you can get the story. They wanted. They want
all 11 mil amnesty for all a million. They don't want any
negotiation there for border security to be in the bill has
to be clean bill seemed like a pretty, very, very politically
oriented protest. Here's what the Senator thought about.
Part of what they were chanting there was let us speak, which
she seemed to be allowing them to, but why is she of all people
getting this backlash from dreamers?
Well, listen, dreamers, young people across this country are
frustrated, because they came to the country through no fault of
their own, they were brought by parents, they want to come
through no fault of their own, you got to keep keep on talking
points, people,
dreamers, young people across this country are frustrated,
because they came to the country through no fault of their own.
They were brought by parents, they want to contribute to this
country, they want to go to college, they want to join the
military. They want to get
all 800 all 800 Want to join the military, college,
they want to join the military. They want to get jobs and be
Americans, which is what they are. This is the only country
most of them
trying to pretend. I mean, he's the person who's pushing the
president to help. Right?
Well, she is. And I think the good news is that we've heard
from both Republicans and Democrats who believe that we
need to do something to protect the Dreamers. And that's what
I'm certainly going to continue to work on.
But again, I'm just confused about why they're holding Nancy
Pelosi at fault here. Do they not like that she's working with
the President to do
this. Listen, you'll have to ask them who knows who's stirring up
this kind of animosity. What we know about the Russians in their
interference in the 2016 election, is that they tried to
increase divisions within this country. We saw it again in
Charlottesville. So we don't know what's behind this. But
what we do know is that we need to take action to protect the
dreamers to allow them to stay in now, right
bla bla, Russia, of course, I don't know. We don't know. She
knows damn well who it is. It's the immigration liberation
movement. And we have a ton of research from our producer
Joseph in the show notes with links to all of these groups. So
the immigration liberation movement, that was they were
identified as one of the groups protesting by NBC and USA Today
and Whopper Whopper Whopper WaPo. In fact, WaPo reported the
protesters were identified as members of the local chapters of
rise, faith in action and the California Youth immigration
Alliance. So the East liberation the immigrant liberation
movement was created by the California immigration Youth
Justice Alliance, East Bay immigrant youth coalition Faith
in Action Bay Area and Pangea, legal. Pan ag legal services,
describes themselves as How do you spell panic? Japan, G. I'm
sorry, Pa n g. That's right. I'm sorry. Yeah. What does it what
does that mean? Pangea
and G. You know, I used to know, I have no idea. I'll look it up
Pangea,
a super continent, compromising all the continental crust of the
earth.
Yeah, this is the pen. Yeah, Pangea is it has to do with guy
I think she's the, the great orgasm, the orgasm.
Wait, let's go back to this great Oregon orgasm,
made orgasm, the great organism called Earth. And just
thought about it's a globalist term is what it is.
Yeah, it's a globalist term. It's I never thought of it that
way before but that's exactly what we're
looking for. Here. It is from their About Us page. Pangea was
the name of the earth original continent when it was one
connected landmass. For us. Pangea symbolizes the unity and
oneness of our global community who? Yeah,
I actually wonder
Wait, if the I just want you to know on the on the 990, our G
who gives them money? Oh,
let me guess. One of those Soros operates. Of course, I don't
know why people just don't arrest that guy. Anyway. So I'm
wondering though, I'm wondering how many of these they're youths
used mostly in these organizations, and many college
kids and all the rest, but they've all been ill educated. I
wonder if they really have a clue. What who they're who this
benefits? These globalists, these kids can't You can't I
don't think this child I don't think so. You can't be a
globalist as a child's thinking to yourself, oh, it'd be so much
better yet no borders.
Listen, when you get to the next group that is a part of this
immigration Liberation Front, the immigration youth coalition.
Now they describe themselves as an undocumented and queer trans
youth led organization based in California. Our mission is to
mobilize youth families and incarcerated people to end the
criminalization of immigrants and people of color. We organize
to create social change that confronts the interlocking
systems of oppression, fiscally sponsored by national day
laborers, organization, organ Organizing Network, and DLN,
which is an open borders activist group has received
funding from unbound film philanthropy, the Borealis
philanthropy and the Open Society Institute from George
Soros. There we rise ri S II, part of the immigration
advocates network IA in an alliance of leading immigrants
rights organizations, including the American Bar Association
commission on immigration, the American Civil Liberties Union's
immigrants rights project and the Catholic legal immigration
network. And they receive rise receives funding from the Ford
Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, the four freedoms Fund and the Open
Society Institute. Faith in Action part of the
clinic the fact that Bill Gates has become just a rampant
globalist. I do like that. I
think it's frightening.
Well, I mean, I, I yeah, I do. I mean, I like it, because it
just, ah, okay, everything makes a little more sense to me.
Faith in Action, part of a buffet and a PICO network,
founded by Father John Bowman, Jesuit priest, who was I think
he was from Chicago, came up in the 60s and 70s. Let's see, Pico
was a sponsor.
Our priests in Chicago are pretty close. It was Father
Frank, we had earlier in the show, oh,
gee, that's a long time. You know, I finally heard you know,
I sent a note after watching just a little side note of
watching the Vietnam documentary, and I thought,
Damn, I haven't heard from Sergeant Fred in a long time.
And so I shoot him a note and he gets back to me and like in a
day, he's still alive. Although he his appendix burst and he's
been in the East Coast. He has Agent Orange, all kinds of
problems. Complicated, orange, but he's well in the morning to
everybody. He's, I think he's still in the hospital or in in a
rehab place somewhere. And he's alive and as well as you can be,
you know, living with Agent Orange. Thanks, Obama. Kiko pico
is also a sponsoring organization of the we believe
together health care for all network, and they receive
donations from individuals. Some of the larger donors include the
Citigroup Foundation, the William Randolph Hearst
Foundation and the Open Society Institute. You want me to keep
going, you get the idea?
Everyone should keep going one more time.
All right. The California Youth immigration Justice Alliance is
a fiscally sponsored project of the Mexican American Legal
Defense and Educational Fund, also known as MALDEF and MALDEF
played a major role in transforming the immigration
debate in America fostering male death. Ma L D, E, F. O male
death, no death.
The word was like passe.
Well, it's just an acronym for Mexican American Legal Defense
and Educational Fund. Oh, I
said I made like Def Jam. Well, what is MALDEF have word? No.
Saying that def is in Def Jam Def Poetry. Oh, I got you guys
pass say
hello. 1980s wants its reference back, John.
That's what I said Melvin, was dead. So why would they use it?
Okay, go on.
Valdez funding primarily comes from a core group of
corporations and large frontline foundations, most notably the
Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller
Foundation. And consider a report from viewers like you be
Open Society Institute. Yes, there we go. It just doesn't
stop. So that's who's doing it. It is the no borders. No nations
peeps. Yep. And more on him before I left I want to remember
October 9, ninth write it down everybody October 9. That is
deface Columbus Day.
Face kill. Is that delivery right there. This sounds like
you should go relive the face being it in your case. The face
Columbus Day. Bring it baby to face Columbus Day as beautiful.
And oh, here you go. German elites prepare Russian hacking
claim in case elections don't go their way. I think the polls
closed just as we started the show today. So we'll see if
anyone give us an update in the chat room, then we'll know how
we're doing in Deutschland. I thought it was in a week. No,
no, no, this is it. This is the weekend. That's right now the
polls are done.
Well, I got some I got a bumpsteer then.
Yeah. And
one of our top apps here, get out of here.
Okay, one of our top picks for hits in the past couple of weeks
has been this face bag Russia story. And Facebook finally made
their move.
So they have a clip. Oh, I had a pretty summarizes the thing but
it's the CBS gives us a Central Intelligence Agency clip our
face bag caves was a little longer report if you want to get
to stay on your topic.
Now. Here's what I do. I cut up Zuckerberg statement. The full
statement which was 10 minutes I cut it into little chunks little
bits and pieces. Pieces
of it in here. Sure there. Yeah. This is a there's a couple of
interesting things in this report. This is a Facebook caves
is the CBS report Facebook
promised greater cooperation today in the investigation of
Russian meddling in the US election. founder Mark
Zuckerberg said the company will turn over to Congress 1000s of
ads that were posted on Facebook and later linked to Russia. And
he promised to make political ads on Facebook more
transparent, disclosing who paid for them. More now from John
Blackstone, we can do better.
In a live appearance on Facebook Mark Zuckerberg admitted
Russians found it easy to place election related ads on the
social network without being discovered.
Most ads are bought programmatically through our
apps and website without an advertiser ever speaking to
someone at
Facebook. Facebook has also admitted that its internal
investigation found more than 3000 election related ads
costing more than $100,000 Paid for by a Russian company with
links to the Kremlin. Facebook said the vast majority of ads
didn't specifically reference the US presidential election or
a particular candidate, but appeared to focus on amplifying
divisive social and political messages. The ads have not been
made public but will now be turned over to congressional
investigators. For months. However, Facebook denied there
was any evidence that Russians had paid for election related
advertising. Senator Mark Warner is Vice Chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee.
I feel like Facebook finally has been responsive. But the proof
will be in the extent of the materials they give us next
week. And then will they continue to work with us to
identify other sites that may have originated in Russia.
They've identified one Russian troll farm
the identity of ad buyers should not have been a mystery to
Facebook's as internet security expert Hey, Munna gom they would
know that those
IP addresses are coming in this case and enemy nation state that
often people call Russia
their expert has never heard of something people often call a
VPN
well if you listen to that guy carefully and I think I have an
ISO because they find it so fascinating. Yeah. Yeah, this
this guy so enemy nation state play this guy
is an enemy nation state that often people call Russia.
What else do they call it? They just call it and when is it an
enemy nation state?
It's not officially codified that way as far as I know.
It's he says in the guy was a weirdo by the way. Yeah, an
enemy nation state that some people call Russia. What is
that? What is he what Who is this guy? Why would they put him
on the air?
I saw this report. And in fact, I might set up clip which is
similar which I'm not going to play because you have good
setups here. I was going to ask you if you'd ever heard of this
guy. No. It was just some Jewish
guy. He's obviously on he's obviously on some one of the
lists. So all these stations have their Yeah, but yeah, but
you had
a blackboard in the background with numerical equations on it.
Yeah, right made him look like a real internet specialist
entered an enemy nation state some people referred to as Raj
What else do they refer to it as it because there's only
Apparently some people so not all the people call it Russia so
what would the other people call it your
and fucking again but it is do like it?
Yeah really I mean this guy yeah he just and you know you and you
write about this moving thing he's never heard of that
apparently yeah so older and that's what I would do too if I
was running a game I just make sure to blame Russia for
everything Hey, let's go to part two
from in this case and enemy nation state that often people
call Russia
that I messed that up here. No no no
promise today to make it easier for users to identify who is
paying for political advertising on Facebook and we
can't prevent all governments from all interference, but we
can make it harder.
The issues raised in the ads and the fact that they were targeted
at specific parts of the country has raised suspicion the
Russians may have had some help from inside the United States.
Anthony
John Blackstone. Thanks, John. A special counsel's Russia
investigation has cast a wide net for documents. Could they
include the Spicer files chief White House correspondent Major
Garrett has been looking into that.
Alright,
okay. Go with that. I continue with that is the part three but
which is the dumbest part of this report. But I shouldn't cut
this off sooner when he said that. Yeah. may have had allies
in the United States. Yeah, Facebook. Well, no, that was
their outline about that they targeted in a very professional
way. So they use like a public relations.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, they think it's it's Cambridge
Analytica, that's what they get,
right. The Cambridge analytical are great. They're banned, but I
just want to back up and ask the question. So what? Yeah, we're
the we're the greatest in the world at doing marketing.
Everybody uses our services. The Chinese use our services, the
Russians use our services. Of course, everybody uses our
services to do this sort of thing. Why is that scandalous
all of a sudden,
because Hillary blames them in the book.
On two part three,
special counsel's Russia investigation has cast a wide
net for documents, could they include the Spicer files chief
White House correspondent Major Garrett has been looking into
that.
This Associated Press Photo of then White House Press Secretary
Sean Spicer appears to validate new reporting from the website
Axios that Spicer kept copious notes during the campaign and
while at the White House. Those notes have drawn the attention
of Special Counsel Robert Muller. The portion of Spicer's
notes visible on close up in the picture referred to top
administration officials are be for then Chief of Staff Reince
Priebus wrecks for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. The photo
was shot at an April press conference with President Trump
and wait,
wait, don't tell me that he used POTUS for the President's
Secretary General
did but I'm telling you this is a scandal. He's notebook. He had
a notebook and on it it said RP N. R P stands for rants. prevous
o codes and the photo was shot at an April press conference
with President Trump and the Secretary General of NATO.
contacted by CBS Spicer refused comment on the photo or the
suggestion his notes could become part of Mueller's
investigation into Russian meddling and the Trump campaign
on ABC this morning, Spicer deflected all Mueller related
questions.
Has the Mueller team reached out to you at all discuss that issue
at all? Have you hired a lawyer? I'm not going to discuss that
issue at all.
So you haven't been subpoenaed? I'm not going to discuss that
issue at all. Did you ever hear inside the White House that
Muller should be fired? I'm not going to discuss that issue at
all.
Yes, press secretary Spicer tried several ways to undercut
the Russia story.
If the President puts Russian salad dressing on a salad
tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection.
CBS News has confirmed Muller is likely to request an interview
with Spicer we've also learned that molars and interviews with
White House officials past and present could begin as early as
next week. Anthony
Major Garrett Thank you major
Yeah, the all the only thing that the only reason why they're
running the story in this manner is because Zuckerberg has said
hey, we're working with Muller or we're you know we're
participating in trying to get to the bottom all all this
anything they can do to tie anything to rushes. That's what
that's about.
Those this notebook story is ludicrous.
Yeah, well, there's the pressure there. We would want to put
pressure on
everybody's you're not supposed to have a notebook and he's
supposed to right out are not even mentioned rants, Priebus.
Well, they've always said RP meant rants, Priebus, this is a
scandal.
They don't have a storage entity. They don't have a story.
So they have to report
the fact that he wrote RP for Rance Priebus. And whatever it
was for them secretary said
breaking news heard it is breaking news.
Yeah. I mean, are these guys kidding us with this kind of
reporting? Well, seriously.
And then they have that bonehead on about the IP addresses and,
and some people call it Russia. Yeah.
The enemy nation state. Well, let's listen to Blair's listen
to what Zuckerberg actually said in these 10 minutes, which was
that I was interested in, mainly to see how they're going to spin
this, you know, because advertising is their business.
And we can't make it look like it was too successful. But on
the other hand, we're pretty good over here at Facebook. So
here's the intro, and he's in his office and he's on the
prompter, which he deviates from a little bit here. And there.
Facebook's mission is all about giving people a voice and
bringing people closer together. Those are democratic.
Second, so I can just do a preface. Do you find this guy to
be unbelievably creepy?
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Oh, yeah. That he looks like data from Star
Trek does look like totally the Android
Facebook's mission is all about giving people a voice and bring
people closer together. That's their mission. Those are
democratic values. And we're proud of them.
Bringing people Yeah, I guess it's democratic values.
I don't want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy.
Okay, that's not what we stand for. The integrity of our
elections is fundamental to democracy around the world.
That's why we built teams dedicated to working on election
integrity and preventing governments from interfering in
the elections of other nations. And as we've shared before, our
teams have found in shutdown 1000s of fake accounts that
could be attempting to influence elections, and many other
countries, including recently in the French election. Now, I wish
I could tell you that we're gonna be able to stop all
interference, but that just wouldn't be realistic. There
will always be bad actors.
Don't think that Congress people aren't saying why is that
unrealistic? Why can't you do that? You can do everything
cancer, why can't you do you can stop child kiddie porn. Why
can't you stop this? That's not a good enough answers, Zack, but
that just wouldn't be realistic. There will always be bad actors
in the world. And we can't prevent all governments from all
interference. But we can make it harder, we can make it much
harder. And that's what we're going to focus on doing. So
today, I want to share the steps that we're taking to protect
election integrity, and make sure that Facebook is a force
for good and democracy.
Now what I found peculiar, because if you're going to say
here, here's the steps we're going catch
what you're gonna say, interesting. Yeah. And you, you
stop yourself. And you made that horse sound. I don't know why I
did that. But no.
Thank you. peculiar.
Thank you. I admire that I try to do the same thing.
I'm always working, always trying to create a better
product. Yeah. What is peculiar is that if we were to do
something like that, we'd say, you know, let's do a three point
plan. Maybe we're gonna do this, this and this. Now, he has nine
points. But who? That just doesn't seem like, like the way
to go nine points. But I guess
the nine points for what nine point to stop that political?
Yes. Yes, nine, not too many points. That's
what I'm saying. He's point heavy in this. It's got to stop
on the points.
It's the name of the show.
point point heavy. That is good.
We were actively working with the US government on its ongoing
investigations into Russian interference. We've been
investigating this for many months now. And for a while, we
had found no evidence of fake accounts linked to Russian
linked to Russia running ads. And when we recently uncovered
this activity, we provided that information to the Special
Counsel. We also briefed Congress. And this morning, I
directed our team to provide the ads, we've found it to Congress
as well.
Okay, so they're, they're working together. Everything's
all good. You only have to go down I think one or two floors,
because the director of FBI traditionally has had an office
in in face bag and
so he's colluding with the government. That's fantastic. I
hope everybody loves using Facebook.
Yes. Then if you don't believe that, go look at the Zuckerberg
was the person of the year was that he was on the cover of Time
magazine cover of Time Magazine. Been in the article, then FBI
Director Muller Miller, who we know as personally popped his
head and said, Yeah, I was just in the office in my office
downstairs just figured I'd say hey, he's right there in the
article. Okay. Who they are looking
for. We're looking to find out actors, including additional
Russian groups, maybe they can get
deeper Joe, as a good foreign actor. He's in Russia,
but he is a foreign foreign actor. And what about, are they
going to look into sorrows?
We're looking to foreign actors, including additional Russian
groups, and other former Soviet states, as well as organizations
like the campaign's to further our own understanding of how
they used all of our tools, to these investigations will take
some time, but we will continue our thorough review.
Okay. He's gonna see how they use the tools, we know I use the
tools, he just bid on some ad space, and boom, he was done.
It's like not a big secret here. But all this needs will lead to
face bags, political advertising, transparency
going forward. And maybe the most important step we're taking
is we're going to make political advertising more transparent. So
when someone buys political ads on TV or other media, they're
required by law to disclose who paid for them. But you still
don't know if you're seeing the same messages as everyone else.
So we're going to bring Facebook to an even higher standard of
transparency. Not only will you have to disclose which page paid
for an ad, but we will also make it so you can visit an
advertisers page and see the ads that they're currently running
to any audience on Facebook. We will roll this out over the
coming months. And we will work with others to standard for
transparency, and online political ads. Okay,
good. Yes.
That's fabulous. Ed. But here's the thing, the way I'm
advertising that get they give me a free link.
Yeah, I don't know if it's free. I don't know, maybe. But the
here's what's interesting. He says first he says political
advertising. But then he keeps he drops the political and just
says advertising advertising. So I'm wondering if it's going to
be this way for all advertisers. So you have a page where you can
see all of their ads that are running, even though you may not
have received one of those ads with a targeted message. That's
that's a bonus. He's given it, he's given the store away. For
free inventory.
I want to mention something that came up earlier before I forget.
The CVS report, I think set a date that fake Facebook is
turning over 1000s 1000s they use the word 1000s of ads. I ran
in a couple of newsletters ago, it was many as the ads I could
find, at least from the one group. There was a front for the
Russians. Yeah. And they couldn't come up with 1000 they
only ran 3000 ads that much we know.
Yeah, we don't know if it's 3000 Creative treatments, or if it
was 3000 flights. This none of
it sounds to me if they sent him 1000s of ads. These guys were
words. You know, I don't know what advertiser does this
generally speaking, you especially if you're small
advertiser, and you're only spending $100,000, which is
