Read this white privilege lens racist, sexist. Adam curry John
C. Dvorak December 21 2017 This is your award winning get my
nation media assassination episode nine
or nine or two is no agenda with a skip in my step and
aground looking at my mic broadcasting live from downtown
Austin town this cap with the drone star status video in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm here to declare that
the silver sharpie is the greatest invention of all time
on John C. Dvorak. Craig Levin Buzzkill.
You know, I actually received a silver sharpie the other day.
Did you know Yes, and I love it. It's the greatest invention of
all time it is.
I write on equipment with it. I do all kinds of stuff with it.
It's particularly good during this era of black plastic.
Precisely. I've got nothing but black plastic in the studio.
Yeah. And it's fantastic. What are you using for
writing on black plastic? Well, I used to use it for writing on
floppy disks, but those days are over. A black plastic. You got
it right. You got to put some you gotta put some information
down on the black plastic how you do it. You put a sticker on
there. Yeah, just use a silver sharpie. Yeah, cuz
I got a new MIDI controller for the for the for the new setup.
And it's just a little mini mixer. And it has buttons next
to it. But it's very unclear, because it has to correspond to
the you know, the numbers of the players. I got eight players. I
got eight faders and I was having real problems. This was
the first time we use it a real problem with it. And then I got
to silver sharpie and I put little 12345678 and perfect.
Yep, it's dynamite. Well now that we have solved that problem
on to the rest of the problems of the world.
By the way, I think a silver sharpie be a great gift for
anybody put in a stocking.
Now that is a good tip. That's a good Christmas shopping tip
right there everybody.
Yep, you get them everywhere too. They have much damn at
Target. In fact this since we started on that list on that
note, let's do a little Christmas reporting. Okay,
I could do some Christmas reporting for you too. I'd love
to hear what you got.
Well, I've got two two clips one on the Christmas shipping report
which would be worth listening to
Next tonight here your money and likely your stress. It is now
Christmas crunch time but that means prices slashed in many
places. And we've got the list tonight. ABC is Ariel Russia out
to help you save your money.
Okay, I think he plays.
Oh no, it says Christmas shopping ABC.
No Christmas shipping.
I'm sorry. Yes, you're right. I missed the live.
Okay, go play that that's on CBS night. The other club has that I
have to say something before.
I'll play the Christmas shipping. I'm sorry. Is there a
difference between an iron Oh, my eyes are
estimated deliveries this holiday season will top 1
billion packages. Here's Michelle Miller.
The season to be shopping and shipping at lilac chocolates in
Brooklyn where more than 20% of their sales will be shipped for
the holidays co owner and the nice around.
Getting the gift there on time is super important. They just
can't be late. So we really rely on the carriers to deliver. You
know when they promised they will this year
Christmas lands on a Monday giving retailers one less day to
get gifts delivered on time. UPS FedEx and the US Postal Service
are working on overdrive to collectively deliver more than
60 million packages a day even weekends a 50% increase over
normal volume. DHL hired 6000 additional workers to keep up
with demand on this year shipping orders. They climbed up
26% over last year. Jeff ibori is vice president of sales. Are
you seeing any glitches delivery system?
Always have is that are people going to actually be home for
window for delivery side of things. So certainly we've coped
with with the volume in terms of putting on more flights and
making sure that we have the appropriate amount of seasonal
workers for delivery.
It's been nonstop for shipping companies this holiday season.
Ecommerce orders have exploded today will only add to that
craze, as many companies are offering free shipping. Phoenix
group's chief economist Max Wolf says shipping companies are
struggling to keep up with online growth.
The sheer volumes are so high and if you're growing your E
commerce 30 40% year over year, are you growing your trucks and
drivers 30% year over year answer is no.
If you have computer problems, I feel bad for you. So I got 99
problems. So the glitches one glitch. How can that still be a
serious word used in a serious report about technology report
was on CBS and they don't really know how to how to monetize
these reports as well as ABC
just kind of just say I shipped a Well, big big man Tina shipped
a package for me from the post office to my buddy in New Jersey
to do one just one of those boxes and what does it cost
like?
One of those prepaid prepaid boxes
and it was supposed to take three days got there in two
days.
I like to post obviously those boxes are
dynamite Yeah, you can put all kinds of cool stuff in there
yeah you put whatever in fact I when I send one of those boxes
if there's any room left I shove a magazine or something just
because it's all flat rate just to take advantage
of the price Yeah,
it's a flat rate box. So you know stuff it put an apple in
there yeah. So there's so then there's a lot of reports which I
don't have any clips of of the of the different kinds of people
that are stealing the packages off your porch Oh yes, of course
the booby traps people are putting on them and you know
mouse traps will be small bombs. Some guys get some shotgun
shells they fire off when they got listed package. So those are
kind of an interesting of course, but I got the biggest
kick out of this clip which is this is a Christmas shopping
whether you're starting to play this is a plug Oh Rama and I'm
totally convinced that that ABC went around we want their sales
guys would you like to be in this report will mention your
name
next right here your money and likely your stress. It is now
Christmas crunch time but that means prices slashed in many
places and we've got the list tonight. ABC is Ariel Russia out
to help you save your money.
Tonight retailers rolling out last minute deals to nab your
holiday dollar. Yeah, I'm still finding the deals more than a
third of shoppers doing the bulk of their gift buying this week
before Christmas. And some major perks for procrastinators
we've had 50% off really good stores and everything at this
point of the year is always like 5040
these popular Beats headphones originally $380 at Best Buy now
$160. Experts say it's also a great time to buy bling. These
designer Movado watches $500 off for clothing deep discounts up
to 70% off men's outerwear at Macy's flash sales popping up at
the Republic 50% off everything and savings on stocking stuffers
found was a gift. Like the gifts section was really easy to pick
for. Family members
prices on gift cards slashed on sites like card pool and gift
card granny
REO with us live tonight scenario because Christmas falls
on a Monday this year. Some of the biggest shopping days will
be this weekend.
That's right David the Saturday before Christmas is expected to
be the second busiest shopping day of the entire year with
deals up until the holiday. The key experts say is knowing what
you're looking for before you last minute shop
shaven that's pretty brazen.
No kidding. Gift Card. Granny, are you kidding me?
You know what I think? I don't know if they charged for it
separately. It's more likely they said we're doing a bonus
for you this year. That's how I would have positioned it.
That's it. Well, you could do that. I mean, this is still
commercial same thing.
It's still it's still a native ad Absolutely. Yeah, I just
think I just would have done that.
And if they were being honest and giving us real reports they
tell you not to buy gift cards not to buy more gift cards why
what's wrong with gift cards? Oh everybody knows her just well
kills people lose them it's just a waste of money are you given
to somebody then it gets you know put her away somewhere and
it never gets used? I mean it's just a scam it's it's designed
to be not not implemented is designed to be lost. Well,
I'm glad you got those shopping reports. I have two separate two
different reports. This you may have heard about
prison this controversy has social justice warriors claiming
this classic holiday carol is racist. Yeah, jingle bells,
jingle bells, bangle all the way. So here's the story, a
theater history professor telling boston.com that Jingle
Bells was originally performed to make fun of African
Americans. That professor saying, quote, the racial
history of the songs has remained hidden behind its local
and seasonal affection. blackface and racist origins
have been suddenly and systematically removed from his
history.
Is this true?
Not that I know of, but it's a great story. I mean, I think
it's a hoax. We'll look into it we'll look into because you have
to be careful because if this story is breaking now somebody
could have rigged you know short term rigged it is a problem with
the Wikipedia obviously. Somebody could have rigged the
Yeah, well, well, right. Well, this is yeah, when I'm when I'm
doing Jingle bells, jingle bells,
to do with anything that has anything to do with slavery or
blacks. Boston
University theater professor claims the Christmas Carol has a
problematic history because it was originally performed to make
fun of African Americans. In what way Let me see. The legacy
of Jingle Bells is one where its blackface and racist origins
have been suddenly and systematically removed from its
history says Kiana Hamel, Boston University, Boston University
Theatre historian as she wrote a whole research paper about it
although one horse open sleigh, let me see. I don't know, man.
It's it's a stretch. I think just a tad bit of a stretch
is first performed on Washington Street in Boston in 1857. Yeah,
some area choirs adopted as part of their repertoire in his 1860s
and 70s was featured in a variety of popular song and
college anthologies in the 1880s. It was first recorded in
1889 on an Edison cylinder. All right. Yes, as it's an unsettled
question, whether and when PeerPoint originally composed
the song that would become known as Jingle Bells apply in 19. Is
it like against some guy in high school or something? It's no,
there's no way. It's bull crap.
Well, she got her name in the paper. No Good for her. But my
favorite is this transition or transformation of history.
There's a new book out just in time for Christmas.
This is new. Daniel first to you what inspired Santas husband?
Well, it was sort of inspired by the annual tuition we have in
this country of
Santas husband, stay tuned, you'll like it.
Like it. You're beating me up on these?
Well, I got lots of time on my hands,
inspired by the annual tradition we have in this country of
pretending that there's a giant war on Christmas. And that
traditional Christmas is under attack. So among other things,
we were reading all of the news about the Mall of America hiring
a black Santa Claus last year, and me and my now wife made a
joke on Twitter, that's if we ever had a child, they would
only know about black Santa Claus. And if they saw white
Santa Claus at the mall, we would just explain well, that's
his husband. And then Ashley and I knew each other from the
internet and from her illustration already and she
jumped into my twitter mentions and said boom, new book.
Boom caught one. Yeah, and it's out now available everywhere,
actually. So let me read a couple of pages here. It says
like any married couple, they have their disagreements but
they always manage to kiss and make up usually over a plate of
milk and cookies.
So we have the gay Santa Claus. Santa is black. He's gay and his
any as a husband, a white husband,
the white guy. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of massage dresses much the
same.
Mrs. Claus has been wiped from history all of a sudden. It's an
outrageous.
It is an outrageous surprise people put up with this.
Everyone thinks it's great. It's great. Halloween. I know. I
know. It's bad. Borderline Tip of the day there but
unfortunately because you just you just took my clips and made
them look like junk. Well, I get a borderline I'm taking the
borderline Yes, sorry. And they made a big they made a big deal
about these. These fake fingerlings. I didn't even know
every year they have supposedly they had to have to some
dramatic gift that is hard to get. And what is it? What is it
this year? This year is the fingerling fingerling it's a
little bitty monkey that you put on your finger and its head goes
back and forth and it goes ah, I'm sorry for your report. Well
fingerling
you're waiting for a clip I thought you were gonna read. I'm
sitting here like, well, could you hurry up and read the report
already? I'm
sorry. You have kids. You know that every year. There's a
popular hard to find holiday toy that you have to stand in line
for Cabbage Patch
Kids and transformers. Try to think about your answers this
year. The it toy has been sold out for weeks which has opened
the door for fraud we see that every year consumer investigator
Chris Kamara joins us now and tell us about these. What do you
call
fingerling finger lifts fake fingerlings. I think we've hit a
sore spot here, haven't we? All right, we were tipped knock off
by one of our eagle eyed response producers. We did a
little digging around and found the forgery is rampant could
also put your child's safety at risk. We wonder if our response
producers bought fingerlings on walmart.com and this is what she
got. It looks like the real thing and the packaging is
nearly identical. It's not until you compare it to off authentic
fingerlings that you see the major difference. The name
fingerlings is missing on the packaging. A keen eye might
catch other clues that this fingerling is bogus. Check out
how batteries is misspelled. And NBC viewer in New Jersey had a
similar experience. She bought two fingerlings on walmart.com.
The
second one that I received came in not as a fingerling. But as a
happy monkey. Not the color not looking like it not the brand,
nothing like that.
As it turns out, the maker of fingerlings is suing more than
150 companies for knocking off its blockbuster toy. Consumers
who have been duped into buying a fake need to know there are
potential safety concerns for kids. Counterfeit toys bypass
federal safety inspections,
the two concerns with counterfeit products are that
one they could pose a choking hazard particularly if they're
small parts. The second concern would be that they're unhealthy
toxics that are in the product.
We haven't heard about any safety issues with these
knockoffs. So we wondered, How did Walmart end up with the
fakes, the company confirmed it wasn't selling them. Instead,
they were sold by a third party on its website. After the
response team reached out to Walmart, it booted those sellers
from its site, saying it has zero tolerance for people
selling fake goods.
It also issued a full refund.
Now, this seems like a story planted by Amazon. Yeah, likely.
But Amazon is like a real bad actor when it comes to selling
dubious things from other third parties. Yeah, yeah. And I mean,
I've seen a bunch of things go through that just like guard. I
mean, they will take it back with pretty much no questions
asked, alright, you know, the real problem. But Walmart, you
know, is new to this. And I think they just got burned.
You know, speaking of Amazon, I had I needed a printer, and I
got rid of everything. I didn't. I never need a printer anymore.
Now I needed to print all of a sudden, why I needed a printer
to print out some documents of which I'm not going to go into
I'd needed a printer.
You mean, you've been getting by without a printer? Yeah. Yeah.
If I need to print something, I can actually email it to the
front desk here and they print it out. Because they had printed
this building had computers and printers. But people steal it.
So the printer was gone. People steal HDMI cables.
People are a holes. They steal Oh, yeah.
So I needed to I needed a printer. And I see on and I just
needed a simple printer. Just print out some stuff. I see an
Amazon printer, a Canon 39 bucks. Like perfect, because of
course they're only selling the ink. I presume that's why it's
so cheap. And I needed a quick and I said no if you order
today, that was last Friday. It'll be there tomorrow.
Saturday. I'm like, okay, click Go. And it didn't arrive
Saturday. So I say Damn it. Amazon. I wrote the New I did a
feedback. And they took off 20 bucks. I got the printer for
$19.
I'll bet you that's a gem of a printer
works fine. It's a cloud printer. It's great.
It's a cloud printer.
Yeah, Google Cloud Print.
Oh, god.
Yeah, that's what I said, Well, trying to set it up. Which I
have not yet succeeded. One week later. That's bad. But that is
such a thing to be honest. But Amazon will send you will give
you a refund if they if they mess it up. If you're a prime
member, they will they will
say no, yeah, if you're a prime member, you can. You could
probably if you've played your cards right, but a lot of stuff
get your entire Prime membership refunded. But these kinds of
complaints, and this is the time to do it. Because there's no way
they're going to make things bribe on time. It's not
possible. Anyway. So that's I think our Christmas report. I
was more Merry Christmas, everybody. You were kind of
about the scams and whatever. Screw Enos screw screw ball.
Justice Warrior crap. And with that, yeah, yeah. Merry
Christmas, everybody. We won't be doing a show. We should
mention this. Yes,
we are on Christmas. We're doing a show. Yeah, it's a net. It's
fresh. It's a new show. It's fresh, fresh, fresh, new content
from the no agenda from the people who bring you the no
agenda show. Yeah, it's an interview I did with the Steve
botanic. Yeah. And I think you'll like it. You know, I
never hear this guy just talk without being interrupted.
So you're here you're hearing him on Alex Jones, where they
got to interrupt him to sell pill. Yeah, exactly. It's pretty
much a wiki. I think I feel the same way about all interviews
where you see a good interview. We've talked about this on our
Yes, on our episodes, yes. Where people are getting going. So you
know, Hey, that reminds me of something. And then they get cut
off because they gotta go to a break and then they kind of
forget about what's hurt. It loses the
it loses momentum loses all the most momentum and what I what I
found? What I did during this interview, is it just kind of
started and we just, you know, I didn't I got him to talk and he
loves talking. He loves talking. He seems to be a chatterbox.
Yes, every time he would mention something, I just be looking it
up on Wikipedia and you have the names right? The dates, right
and everything. Like how do you? How do you do that?
They may just have a eidetic memory. It's possible. Yeah.
Well, after this interview you again you will be Is he the real
deal? Is he What is
still a mystery? What is it?
And now it's time for your sexual harassment?
That's right. Hashtag me too. So let's see. What do we have? The
latest which I found interesting was Linda Sarsour, accused of
enabling sexual assault and harassment in the workplace. She
is the she's the co founder of the Women's March. You know her?
She's,
she's that horrible woman. Yes.
You're gonna say horrible Muslim woman. I know. But that was just
a descriptor. I
was just gonna say horrible woman. Yeah, she's
nasty. And you know, she won't talk about how she she's. I
don't know if she's had any has she any as she denied this
anywhere? Or I haven't really sent out care.
Yeah. Oh, okay. I don't care because I think she's just a
creep. So it does.
And we're still waiting for the somewhere between 15 and 20
lawmakers of both parties in Congress or on Capitol Hill to
be outed. That hasn't happened yet.
Although the fact that it hasn't happened already is a little
sketchy to me that it might not happen at all because there's no
reason for it now that Judge Moore didn't get elected I think
that it's going to make everything calm down. But I do
have one clip myself for this segment. Okay. Because it's
there was actually mentioned in the newsletter about how they're
trying to you know,
after going going after Meryl Streep with she knew hashtag me
to hashtag she knew.
Yeah, who cares whether she knew or not at this point. This is an
old story Weinstein's done and why I don't know why we're, it's
just the titillation maybe or just to see this cat fight
between Rose McGowan. And well,
I think what's going on it's award season, and we have you
know, we have the Golden Globes coming up, which is where she
famously lauded Harvey Weinstein. So, you know, what
are you going to? I think they're talking about all women
all should all dress in black for the award season
all covered in this clip. This is good.
We turn next year tonight to new fallout from the allegations of
sexual abuse against Harvey Weinstein, actress Rose McGowan,
who claims Weinstein rager taking aim now at Meryl Streep,
the GAO and tweeting that Streep's silence is the problem.
Weinstein's lawyer says that any allegations of non consensual
sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein. But tonight ABC
is Lindsay Davis now with Meryl Streep's response.
The most nominated actor in Oscar history in a different
role tonight, Meryl Streep defending herself against
accusations she turned a blind eye to Harvey Weinstein's
abusive behavior.
I just want to thank my age and Kevin you vain and God. Harvey
Weinstein
after Weinstein's full strip said she was appalled, adding
not everybody knew recently telling Vogue's Anna Wintour,
she hasn't stopped thinking about it. What do you sit around
talking about?
Dining room table?
Three daughters, Harvey Weinstein. That's
all we talked about. I mean, you know,
but when Streep announced she would join an army of actresses
wearing black this award season as a silent protest. It
infuriated actress Rose McGowan, who claims Weinstein raped her
and that cannot stand and it will not stand. McGowen
tweeting.
That sounded a lot like a whipsaw. To me.
It was totally, totally
just throw it and clench. I don't want to clip
it infuriated actress Rose McGowan, who claims Weinstein
raped her and that cannot stand and it will not stand. McGowen
tweeting, actresses like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for
the pig monster are wearing black in a silent protest. Your
silence is the problem. McGowan adding maybe you should all wear
mark hazeh fashion line designed by Weinstein's estranged wife
now in a lengthy statement, Streep is responding writing, it
hurt to be attacked by Rose McGowan. I wasn't deliberately
silent. I didn't know I don't tacitly approve of rape. I
didn't know I don't like young women being assaulted. I didn't
know this was happening. So far, no direct response from the
gallon though she did delete her tweet and apologize for the dig
about actresses wearing awards dresses designed by Weinstein's
wife. The Mark Hayes aligned was beneath me, she wrote and I'm
sorry for that.
And tonight Meryl Streep says she has reached out to Rose
McGowan street
strip center. She has made sure that McGowan has her phone
number she says that she is waiting for her call. In the
meantime, Harvey Weinstein, as you know, has denied
unequivocally any non consensual sexual activity. David Lindsay
Davis,
on this today, yes. Fantastic. Thank you so much. Yeah, Greg, I
think you're right. That this kind of ends, you know, we had
the the Roy Moore, Judge Roy Moore thing that's over and it's
just kind of off, you know, we're done.
They get there to accomplish what they wanted to accomplish.
Well, not entirely, as we still have to on resign out, Franken.
This is now in play. We got to undesigned him, because it was
not fair. And I don't you know, I guess what happened was, all
right, you're gonna fall on your sword. You're going to resign
and then that will force Trump to resign? I think that's
actually was the strategy here.
No, I don't think so.
To these morons. Yes, it was. That's all they'd been saying.
I think it was specifically aimed at if Roy Moore got in.
They could they could hound him and use him as a whipping boy,
because Frank and quick.
Okay. All right. Well, I'll take that just as good. And now of
course, they you know, we have to undo that. This is
democratics. See? Yes, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin
from West Virginia on the political podcast.
I think the Roy Moore thing sends a loud clear message. To
all Franklin Franklin, Franklin. Franklin.
I love my bestest buddy. I'll Franklin Yeah.
The Democrats, the most hypocritical thing I've ever
seen done to a human being, and then have enough guts to sit on
the floor and watch them giving speech and go over and hugging.
That's hypocrisy at the highest level I've ever seen in my life.
made me sick. And here's a man that all he said, Take me
through the Ethics Committee. I will live by whatever decision
and I'll walk away thinking, this opportunity I've had while
I was here. But you find out if you think I'm a predator, you
find out if my actions you find out to people I've worked with
all my life. I was in that type of an arena. You know, houses
Listen, I got a lot of flaws. This is not one of them. Give
our chance to prove it. I think is atrocious. We ran a good
person off. I don't I didn't vote
to not get along and a lot of things. But politically,
we are separate. Okay. But you need people from you need to
have all spectrums of experience.
He hasn't resigned yet. He said,
I hope I hope they have enough guts, if they had enough guts,
enough conscience, and enough heart to say, Oh, we made a
mistake asking prematurely for you to leave least go through
now. Would you subject yourself to a rigorous ethics examination
and ethics, you know, investigation and live by
whatever comes out? And then we'll put the vote on? Yeah,
well, that's what they should do. That's the human and decent
thing to do. If they have any decency in, they do that every
one of them that signed for him to go out, including Chuck
Schumer would do that.
Mm hmm. We shall see.
Well, a couple of things. First of all, we know from other
reports that the Senate and House Senate Ethics Committee
has never found anybody guilty of anything if it was unless it
was done during their tenure in office. So anything that
happened before or when they were kids, or were just before
they got elected. That's always put aside so there's no way he's
not going to breeze through an ethics committee thing. And we
know that in advance. So this is bullcrap. Now, the thing is, I
like to know how he's going to deal with his co senator, Amy
Klobuchar, who demanded he quit. Yeah, I think that's kind of
interesting. But But if he doesn't quit, I think this puts
them at year to date. I think he's going to be a target. You
said he was going to quit.
Right? Right. Yeah, no, he quit. Well, you know, we'll see this.
We live in crazy times.
People grabbing the breast of that dead DJ, whoever she was,
that's just going to be fodder for every election and it's
going to be used by everybody out use it. Already did actually
once with somebody who came up with this. I just posted that
picture. It's just too funny of a comeback not to do. Yeah, even
though I said from the beginning, he should have never
resigned or said he was going to resign or absolutely quit the
party.
Well, the hashtag me to campaign is just running rampant
throughout the entire universe, including the United Kingdom's
another blow for Theresa May as she attempts to navigate Brexit
treacherous waters in the EU on the 29th of March to me,
it's not exactly the same as me too, but
to see Minister Damian green to resign late Wednesday. An
internal investigation found he had made misleading statements
about pornography found on computers at his office. It was
a reluctant loss greens one of Mays most trusted allies, and a
key advocate of a soft Brexit who voted to remain in the
European Union. Green was appointed first Secretary of
State Mays de facto deputy in the wake of the disastrous snap
election in June that stripped Mays conservatives of their
majority, his job partly to pacify a party deeply divided by
Brexit. To make matters worse, is the third minister to quit in
the past two months for green It all began in November when an
academic said he sexually harassed her two years ago. She
denies the investigation said it couldn't conclude either way,
but deemed her account plausible. Also in November, it
was reported that the police had found pornography on a computer
in Green's parliamentary office wasn't a date, Green said that
was untrue, and later denied that police had told him that
discovered such images. Both of those statements turned out to
be inaccurate Mays wounded government is expected to limp
on though there's little appetite for a leadership
contest with Brexit looming.
You go bad this all stems from that idiotic snap election she
called
for. I still don't know why she did that. That's so odd.
Nobody knows why she did. She thought she could just take over
the world. Everyone's going to love her so much. I mean, this
is the kind of i You see this in our Congress to a kind of a you
know, with Trump. It's kind of like lost on you know, what the
public is thinking is lost on them. In fact, there's a good
good report and
then I'll talk to the public John, the mean, they go out in
public, they're literally cordoned off the press or on one
side, the public is somewhere that people did the press
doesn't talk to the public unless they're gonna do man on
the street and chop it up to whatever they want it to be.
So they're proud. I'm not just saying the press. I'm saying the
politicians in the press. Yeah, yeah, know that this point
presses was a lost cause.
And something that is not discussed, but showed up in an
article. Some research from UCLA Health and Human Rights Law
Project. Came up with a statistic in incidents of sexual
violence reported to the National Crime Victimization
Survey. How many percent do you think of victims were men? 40
she Frau 38 38%. And the majority of that is forced
penetration not on them but of women. What? Yeah, so women
forcing men to penetrate them.
Really? Yeah. Doesn't seem like anything that would be there
would be a rousing
hey, look, I'm just telling you want to have a
gun to your head and says you got to screw me. Yeah, it's not
like a turn on. I
I think there's probably a lot of this as young men and older
women. A lot of this happening in academia. And that's it a
really interesting paper. It's, I'll put it in the show notes.
992 dot no agenda notes.com. And there's a lot of data on
prisons. Interestingly enough, let me tell you this. You don't
want to go to prison. No, this is just this is this is not
where you want to be at all is not good,
though. You think that in fact, you'd think there'd be some kind
of rape in prisons phenomenon, which is not it's actually
shameful that the government has set things up. So this is a
common occurrence. This is should be illegal. And the
worst is female is women's prison. That's the worst.
Yeah, this is this is should be illegal. And
it's not the male staff. It's other female inmates raping
other women.
Yeah, the bull dikes.
I don't know it's the bowl dikes, but
I bet you there's a view.
And let me see if we have anything else on this. Oh, yes,
I think it is important that the Department of Education scrapped
a key part of government policy. This is something the Obama
administration set up
regarding sexual harassment sexual assault on campuses. Now
this was we discussed this on the show a long time ago. I
don't remember exactly what what what might fall under Title 10
or nine or something. I can't remember what it falls under.
The guidelines demanded colleges use the lowest standard of proof
per pi
we had so we had some great clips on this where people were
talking about You know, there's no balance between accurate
accusers and the Yes, yes. The accusers if it's a woman in
particular, whatever she says goes and this guy's out,
yes, the preponderance of the evidence. So the lowest standard
of proof preponderance of the evidence, what does that mean
preponderance of the evidence to me?
I think it means the amount. Can I look that up? No. Yeah. Why
don't you look it up? Look up the word preponderance in the
book.
Okay, well, you could have done that. You could have done that
while I was reading the rest. Yeah, I was the relaxed Okay.
Here we go. preponderance the quality or fact of being greater
in number quantity or an important city. So what did they
mean by that, then,
is one complaint is enough?
Cheese. Okay. So the preponderance of evidence
deciding whether a student is responsible for sexual assault,
a verdict that can lead to discipline and expulsion, but
the Department of Education said colleges, were free to abandon
that standard and raise it to a higher standard known as clear
and convincing evidence, which I also think is
Yes, probably still bogus. Yeah. I think one of our one of our
clips, somebody pointed out that if this was going on, this is a
crime. It has nothing to do with the college. They should be
ousting anybody they should call the police. Well, they have
allow have campus
police and stuff.
But not all schools. Not all schools have campus. So So
I do think that's good on one hand, but it doesn't know. I
don't know.
Does it solve the problem necessarily?
It does not. And we still haven't been accused of
anything. This is good. Well, we were
accused of being podcasters.
And this is your sexual harassment update.
Yes, indeed, it does.
Well, I got one more sexual harassment thing was not really
sexual harassment is more of a news story. But this is the USA
Gymnastics update. I mean, the guys in jail now and now it was
coming out of the woodwork to sue that it's just it's I don't
know if this is good or bad, but play the USA Gymnastics report
called Olympic medalist. McKayla Maroney is suing USA Gymnastics.
She says the organization tried to cover up her allegations of
sexual abuse against former team Doctor Larry Nasser and a
settlement nearly a year ago, Maroney received one and a
quarter of million dollars and signed a nondisclosure
agreement. Dr. John Le pook has more on this
McKayla Maroney. His lawyer is accusing USA Gymnastics of
covering up her sexual abuse by having her sign a nondisclosure
agreement. Moroni first revealed the abuse in a Twitter post two
months ago, writing that Nasser's abuse started when I
was 13 years old and didn't end until I left the sport. John
Manley represents more than 100 girls and young women including
Moroni alleging sexual abuse by Larry Nasser. Of course, it's a
cover up. I mean, if you're not trying to cover it up, why are
you asking him to be quiet Manley says USA Gymnastics took
advantage of Mulroney's fragile psychological state.
They wanted to keep their dirty laundry quiet and they were
willing to sacrifice my Kayla's health and well being and voice
to do that, and that's just wrong.
At the 2012 London Olympics. Maroney was part of the
powerhouse American women's gymnastics team known as the
fierce five. Just last month, her former teammate and Olympic
gold medalist Aly Raisman, told 60 minutes about her abuse at
the hands of NASA. What did
USA Gymnastics do and Larry Nasser do to manipulate these
girls so much that they are so afraid to speak up.
Late today, USA Gymnastics put out a statement saying that both
sides had agreed to the settlement and confidentiality
deal and that they were initiated by Mulroney's
attorney, not by USA Gymnastics,
Jeff. That was kind of interesting. Who was her lawyer?
I don't know they don't they had the guy on there. But I don't
think they mentioned his name. But this dirt by the way dirty
like keeping dirty laundry quiet is kind of a mixed metaphor that
does work. Now, here's the thing about this story, which is
continuing and I don't know what Maroney is up to she if she got
to over a million dollars, you'd think that would be enough to
and then if there was their idea, and then she signed off on
it. So that's kind of sketchy, but
the troll room is saying it was glory Aldridge, of course.
Well, they had one of our attorneys on it was amazing.
He could have been an associate.
Now. You know, here's what, I hate to say this. But I'd like
to know what this guy did. Nobody has discussed it. Was he
fondling them and asking him how does this feel? Or was he how
does this does this feel good? Yeah, does this feel good? Cuz
you're gonna be alive, or was he? I mean, was he flowering
them so they could do better flips. I'm just asking Oh John,
I would like to know some details here because as far as I
know the guy didn't do anything unless we have some details let
me just any details any details all was was a robber he abused
them abused. He could have punched him in the face that's
kind of abusing them too.
Well, I will look into it for you see if I can find out what's
going on.
You look into me let me know
i'll let you know the even though it's a great time to come
out and air your dirty dirty laundry that would be the
correct way of using the metaphor. Did you hear about the
CEO of ESPN John Skipper? Probably the he resigned? Yeah,
no because of substance substance abuse.
Ah, that's right. Yeah, cool. Probably. Yeah,
you look at the guys like man. How about that, huh? No, I just
I just find it hard.
Probably explains a lot because it ESPN has had nothing but
trouble with his ratings have been dropping and dropping and
dropping in my course. I'm always saying is because
nobody's interested in English clubs soccer, which they're
playing way too much of an ESP and I don't care whether
Manchester City or Manchester United wins the game against
Chelsea. I don't really care. No. And I don't think American
viewers care at me. Yeah, few Brits care and some maybe some
some.
I like watching soccer. I'm okay with that.
Yeah, was the last set. What's the last game you watch? What
was the score?
One nil. They're all Yes. It's always one nil. Or we do shoot
out
and then and they're pushing a female women's basketball to an
extreme. It's a women's basketball clubs soccer and,
you know, you know,
I'd like to see some I'd like to see Sumo. Sumo. Sumo is
good Sumo. You know what I would like to see more of his women's
field hockey you know? I'm a big fan. Big fan of the women's
field hockey. I love the little
that probably wouldn't be a bad idea or women's it's
it's a range volleyball. Yes it's a ratings Brazilian leagues
are the best ratings Bonanza I tell you why they don't listen
to me.
They don't but so ESPN has had issues Yeah. Anyway anything
else in this regard?
No nothing.
Well, I do have a couple of Christmas clips I want to play
along the way and did you know I we should probably find that let
me create finding credits for these because I don't I don't
know what they're what are what the legalities of playing ask if
these are ASCAP or not. I know their public domain songs Okay
Chris. Yeah, like yeah White Christmas by goats
okay
yeah goats in their very this guy claims to have this
Christmas by goats some goat you can find this
it's obviously a sampler he's just playing samples. No, oh,
yeah, he's
he says no to that they pulled the goats tail. I don't have the
I don't have the cat one. Which is all samplers is just a cat
sample on a keyboard and you can get the cat to sing anything you
want it right right but no these goats he claims that these are
individual goats that were used. That's why he had our goat in
their use. He found all these goats sounds and then he made he
determined what note they were singing. And then he put it
together that way he didn't do it as like on a keyboard with a
sampler. It was like I think an edit job. Now with that in mind.
The dog ones I wish I've always preferred to the castle and I
think you've played this before. I don't know if we played this
one. This was I wish you a Merry Christmas before he played this
is dogs and they this is I think is the most creative I think
this guy knows how to arrange he should be on Broadway, because
he's got dogs growling and he's got dogs repetitively,
repeatedly barking annoyingly like dogs do and I think this is
like a real fantastic dynamite composition except for the fact
that he uses too much music and let not enough dogs
love it If you're so easily entertained John
did that okay, you can kill it. But the point is, is that bill
should listen to the dog Christmas because it's got it's
very, I think is unique in the way he uses growls and other
things, kind of make a gad dimensionality to an otherwise
silly idea. I'm
so happy you brought that to the show that really makes all the
difference. I think so, how about a little Bitcoin update?
Okay, yeah. If you know this is important if you invested in
this invested in this great store of value around let's say
19,000 You thought time to jump in right now? It's $15,617 per
Bitcoin. So you lost effectively about 23% of your investment,
how you feel and right before the holidays.
I didn't invest anything but I think now's the time to buy.
I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to people who jumped on
this bandwagon. And it's, you know, and congratulations,
everybody. The big boys are now in now you see what happens?
Oh, yeah, you're gonna get screwed. I'm gonna get
rude. And then you listen to CNBC. These people are idiots.
And they can't stop talking about it. And it's not just
Bitcoin. It's crypto. This is crypto that the biggest offender
being Kramer
because he asked him that we know is occurring in the crypto
world. I'm not denying the crypto world I am supporting the
crypto world. I think think crypto is great. But I also
think that we have to be a little more careful. Weird name
too. I mean, the Cryptkeeper that's where like a bunch of
dead people. All right, Jim. And I they don't mean investors,
though, right? This is going to where it gets a different
things. It's cryptic. Not not a not a crypt, right. I've been
right. When you see that level of enthusiasm, what that says is
there are true believers, and you can't talk a true believer
out of it. And I always say look, as long as you know the
risk Be my guest. I never ever mind anyone trying to make
money. But a lot of people come on these shows and say they
missed it. They I'm not one of those. I'm saying as long as you
know the risk, it's fine. But you have to understand the risk.
Well, you will. Okay, thanks. We'll see at the top of the hour
is
idiots.
And that's shameful what you just played?
Oh, yeah, it's it is shameful. And by the way,
there is a sure that the root of crypt crypt meaning you like it
kind of a crypt where the dead are and crypto is is has the
same root. It's, it's like a lock. It's like a lock lock.
Yes.
So, of course a lot of people based on our broadcast here have
been sending me, you know, hate notes and saying, you know,
you're an idiot. Listen to this guy. He knows what he's talking
about. This is great. So meanwhile, we're down from
20,000 to 15,000. And ah, there's an explanation for
it. Oh, there's always an explanation you're at, you're
ready. It's the
S curve of adoption.
Oh, that means it's going to skyrocket.
So it went up and now it goes curly Q and then it's gonna go
up against the S curve of adoption. Oh, people this How
about this poor, poor saps? Who mortgaged their home to jump in?
Because, you know, they jumped in at 17 1819. Like,
to the moon, I would assume that you a lot of people, somebody
bought it at nine or 18? Because it went to 19. Yeah, and they
stayed in because it's going to the moon. Most people would have
stayed in, I would just kind of come back, it'll come back to
19. Maybe when it crashes, it's gonna go down to nothing. That's
what that's and then it'll never return recover. And, or somebody
will crack the crypto off. And imagine that it's possible and
you know, guys are working on it.
Well, hold on. It's the NSA has invented the hash that it's used
for Bitcoin. So they have it, it's I think it's hacked crack.
They know how to do it. I think they're using the 256 Whatever,
hash things and this is where I get into trouble. Yeah, you
should stop while you're ahead. And then Coinbase which is you
know, seen by many as you know, as the number one exchange, they
halted trading of bitcoin cash due to Insight possible insider
trading. Now, I asked you,
what does that mean? I asked you what tosee was
No. insider trading means you got a tip. And then you bought
before the news came out what kind of knew
exactly what that's in a nutshell. That's what insider
trading refers to
what kind of news was there? And I actually heard I got it. I
gotta get this clip for you. This guy said, people just don't
understand And when they when they don't understand bitcoins
because they don't understand the fundamentals like
fundamentals of Bitcoin, okay?
I just feel sorry for people who do any odds kids with their
skateboard money, you know, weed money. Here's a tip from Uncle
Adam, keep your skateboard smoke the weed, don't buy the bitcoin
is not going to
turn out when it hits 25,000 You're gonna get more hate mail.
Sure. And then when it hits 50,000, you're gonna get even
more hate mail. But the problem
is that people do not have the psychological discipline to
sell, they will hold and they will hold and they will hold and
then they're screwed.
And that's the way it works. And that's the way it's supposed to
work. And
they certainly don't have the discipline to sell when they're
losing. I mean, do you want to make money trading or when
you're losing, you got to you got to cut it, you got to cut
your loss, people are saying, Oh, I could come back and could
bounce back. And the
mentality it's like I said before, anyone who's stupid
enough to take money making investment, real estate, that
always goes up, it flops down once a while, but it doesn't
does real look at a chart and see what the prices are. It's a
limited, it's, you know, there's only so much of it. It's useful.
You can build on it. And you can sell it somebody else very
easily. And there's systems in place like title companies to
make sure you don't get screwed. Yeah, there's all kinds of
entities insurance, title insurance, and all these things.
There's nothing like that for Bitcoin, not just oh, and Wild
West.
And I will say I love blockchain. I love what it what
it possibly can do. Yeah, but there's, there's all kinds of
peer to peer. And we have that what was that? We even even
tried to use that for a while to distribute our show. What's it
called?
It's a bit torn thing. Oh,
yeah, it's dammit. There's a whole bunch of them. But this
hash space, you know, hash space is out there. And that's how
peer to peer in essence works. And you don't really need a
centralized system. And that, of course, is where it is where we
need to go. You can't be here, you know, if we're going to rely
on the face bag and Twitter for our, for our communications, at
Twitter, by the way with new rules.
You know, what's your new rules?
Let me see I have the rules here. The Twitter so they have
new policies on violence, abuse and hateful conduct. And they'll
well first of all, they will unverified you for sure. No, no,
yeah. Let's see. Content boundaries and use of Twitter.
Okay, graphic violence unlawful. Let me see. Oh, misuse of
abusive behavior. Here we go. We believe in freedom of
expression, open dialogue. But that means little, as an
underlying philosophy is voices are silenced because people are
afraid to speak up. Stop right there. How does that even make
sense? If if you if I'm on Twitter, and I'm and I want to
tweet something, but someone else says you're a dick. And all
of a sudden this is bad that I'm now I'm afraid to tweet. I don't
really I'm trying to understand what that sentence means. We
believe in freedom of expression, open dialogue, but
that means little as an underlying philosophy is voices
are silenced. Because people are afraid to speak up. In order to
be you can go you can be on Twitter or anonymous. You can do
all kinds of ways. In order to ensure that people feel safe
expressing diverse opinions and beliefs. We prohibit behavior
that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that
harasses intimidates or uses fear to silence another user's
voice, okay, you don't have a voice on Twitter, you type. We
don't hear you. You're not talking. You got 280 characters
to do it. And I don't understand how fear and intimidation on
Twitter silences someone's voice. However, they continue
context matters when evaluating for abusive behavior and
determining appropriate enforcement actions. factors we
may take into consideration include but are not limited to
whether colon the behavior is targeted at an individual or
group of people. The report has been filed by the target of the
abuse or by bystander, the behavior is newsworthy, and in
the legitimate public interest. That's an interesting one. So
you may be able to silence voices if your behavior in doing
so is newsworthy, oh, that would mean Trump I get it. Of course.
So Trump can't get kicked off. Because his behavior by
definition is worthy.
By definition, everything he says is newsworthy, fantastic,
that's why they put it in. So when people say hey, why don't
we should kick the president of that POTUS. Basically, they just
slipped that one and I didn't even realize
you know, they could that could apply to a lot of people. Yes.
I'd say people like Rob Reiner who is just a you know, horrible
tweet hate hate, hate, hate, hate, hate hate. Yep. Same thing
is kind of newsworthy.
And let's see, what else do we have now? That was the main
thing about Twitter.
It's good to know
now do you want to do the because I see you have some tax
bill stuff. Do you want to do that now? Or would you like to
take a break or?
Alright, well, let's see. It's about everyone getting more
money. We take the break first and we can talk about that
afterwards. I guess
with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the
morning to you John. See what the C stands for can take a
break
Devorah Well, in the morning New York Mr. Adam curry in the
morning to all ships at sea boots on the ground feeding the
air subs in the water. All the dames knights out there
and I would like to point out that we have often spoken about
the feats in the air boots on the ground and feats in the
water and there was a 13 foot discovered recently a lot of
people tweeting us that night we need to make mention of it
because yeah, we shouldn't be what kind of over it we've
tracked that for you know, a decade
like years,
decades decade
suddenly they said 1.3 feet a year it looks like
Yes. And I want to thank ASO in the morning to the chat room the
troll room no agenda stream.com Good everybody there thank you
DC grill all into it today. Spooky are everyone's there. And
in the morning to nick the rat. The sewer man brought us the
artwork for episode nine or nine or one title of that milkshake
duck and this was his Yeah, it was like a warning sign like a
nuclear no agenda with face bag on someone's phone your brain
blowing up dollar signs with a target it was a composite but
love just a job well done. Yes, just beautiful. Just beautiful.
Make no agenda art. generator.com is where we get
our artwork from after every show right after we're done we
start looking. So upload it and we appreciate the work that all
of our artists do and we use it for album art newsletters and
also you can find items at no agenda shop.com that include the
artwork from artists who get paid for it.
Okay, well we want to thank a few people for show nine nine to
only eight away from the Miraculous show 1000 made an
offer double producers credit for anyone who contributes
$1,000 for the show. 1000 they get a credit for this show. And
they get credit for the show. 1000 get double producer's
credit absolutely nobody's taking this up on this but
there's still an offer out there okay, for some reason over the
years I've made that offer a million times and nobody likes
it. I think one guy maybe or two grand dukes while they're
growing start off with our are sir anonymous assured anonymous
sir on not anonymous let me get that sir animus of dog pasture
on Amis of Dog Patch came in with $800 which he does about
once a month don't hold on
long. See not a Duke by now. Doesn't seem to care. That's
interesting, isn't it
it's kind of interesting he's just one of those guys that they
go grab this sheet like this he did send a note in it this is
long note from him so we're gonna get ready for a low No,
but it's you know, $800 you can read it. Thank you for your can
and I can can't read apparently, thank you for continuing your
outstanding work to keep us informed. This time of year
brings out our social stupidity. So pardon the following rant.
When I make my rant in person I am called insensitive and
ignorant and I probably am. Thankfully, this is a listener
supported podcast or some of the crap I type would be taken as
harassment racist or hateful, which is probably is to which it
is probably too weak need over privilege utopian globalist
generation who think that people over 55 know nothing and have
done nothing for the world.
Yes. And they don't know social media. Yeah, this happens in the
workplace a lot. Trust me.
Yeah, I can imagine. Recently, I have met with family and
attended meetings where it is obvious that the experiential
society on the web, that self takes exciting pictures of food,
or repost political cartoons or repeats memes to demonstrate
engagement. Do nothing for society, but post superficial
stuff to look in gay.
You know, we watched Judd Apatow stand up last night. I think
it's on Netflix. You know, Judd Apatow, the
comedian. Actor that is whooping cough. Yeah.
And he had a funny bit. I liked that. He said, You know if back
in the day if I had taken a picture and sent it to my friend
through the mail and said, Hey, I thought I'd send you a picture
of my food. People would have looked at your very strangely.
It's a good bit when you hear it in context.
Yeah, I guess well, maybe your timing is not great. The
Greatest Generation left their children boomers with La smog.
That co hoga River and Cleveland burning Love Canal coal slag,
Gary, Indiana steel mill smoke, deforestation to name a few
environmental issues, good work. This greatest generation. They
also passed on whites only bathrooms, college educated
women restricted to teaching nursing or Secretary jobs, a
Cold War, the Great Society and more than a few other social
issues. Look that up in your funk and Wagnalls for those that
know nothing. I'm exhausted from listening to the BS crap
Millennials think they face. These so called adults breathe
cleaner air, drink safer water, have more clean and safe outdoor
locations have better educational opportunities,
encounter less discrimination, more wildlife in the US than we
had growing up. Thanks to us.
I disagree. I disagree with the better educational opportunities
discussed at the last show to an extreme depends on what you mean
by opportunity, yet they believe 55 to 70 did nothing and know
nothing about the societal issues and the environment and
they have to save the world from us. Because he this is the baby
boomers lament. So what he's doing because 55 to seven years
is that group, millennials vote for people that believe the same
crap that the older generation boomers should pay more to fix
stuff for them, rather than doing it themselves.
Unfortunately, we raise the latest generation we should have
eaten our young. Fortunately, the global competition they face
may eat them alive. Anyway. Done. Thanks for tolerating my
rant enclosed as my monthly donation. I do my best using old
technology to be timely, it ain't easy getting things
delivered from Dogpatch. My donations require a bank teller
and mail carrier to pick up the mail at least one mail sorted
and put it in the correct trucks and a mail carrier to deliver
the letter. Not all donations are sent in the US Mail. Time
making timely delivery even more challenging. And JNK and
JNK. Thank you very much.
And we did receive the five notes that you sent last month.
Chase Thank you very much, sir. Yes. Okay. Well, you know, it's
Christmas. Can I give him a service goat karma?
He says n j and k but yes, I think so. Give him to him.
Whether
you like for me to him, you know from us. Late later, I think
it's sort of
sounds that he's complaining a lot. Andrew gusik in Greensboro,

show coming up on Sunday, brand new fresh meat for you not a
typical deconstruction, but an interview, we'll also be
introducing that and then we're back on Thursday with another
show. Remember us at VO red.org/n. A and particularly
around the holidays, you need to be out there propagating our
formula. Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the
mouth. So we have a new tax code. tax plan tax code. Yeah.
And, and this is this, I think is a big deal. Yeah, we haven't
changed this in a long time.
Over 30 years. Yeah.
And I looked at it. And I have to say that I have no idea if
any of this will work. I don't think anyone does. Not I don't
think anybody knows it's all a crapshoot. Yeah, that's that's
what it seems like to me. You just don't know if this is gonna
work or not?
Well, it's already working for some people, I think, ah, AT and
T or Comcast or one of these guys have given everybody $1,000
Oh, absolutely.
I have the list here. It was an 18 t give everybody a bonus
300,000 people. Now I've done this with my company. In the
past, when we had the public company think new ideas. And it
takes a little while to do something. You can't just say as
CEO, a let's give everyone a grand. There's a lot of a lot of
work, you know, you have to set it up. There's all kinds of
implications, tax implications, payroll implications, the board
has to approve it. There's a whole bunch of stuff that goes
down. More interesting to me is the companies who are saying
we're raising our wages to $15. Now that I think is interesting,
yeah, there's a whole bunch of them doing that. And it will
end the way I took this is because I know it takes a lot.
So raising the wage on your workers. Now this takes a long
time. So I think because this is your AT and T It's Boeing, these
are big companies, a lot of military industrial complex. My
feeling is Hey, guys, look. DO ME A SOLID on this. If we pass
this thing, then, you know, show how great it is. And then I'll
make sure we bought by more your crap, which we're about to do as
the as the you know, we're,
we're probably right. And you're right, you just can't do this.
Instantly.
Let me play the little clip. I have you heard about the NDAA.
The National Defense Authorization
Act, the Senate $700 billion defense policy bill is far
beyond what President does.
700 That's more than it used to be. We track this stuff. It used
to be around 656 40, maybe 660. There's an extra 40 bill that
just passed out there man and Mom, I'm thinking Thank you very
much for you know, giving everybody a raise
Senate $700 billion defense policy bill is far beyond what
President Donald Trump had sought, and it sets the tone for
America's military might in the next fiscal year. Now the 1200
page bill sets aside about $640 billion for basic Pentagon
operations, which is 37 billion more than Trump requested. It
also adds another 60 billion for a special war account for
overseas operations in places like Iraq, Syria and
Afghanistan. Now, the mammoth spending bill got mammoth
bipartisan support in the Senate. 89 senators voted yay.
While only eight voted Nay. It needed just simple majority to
pass
this. Budget Democrats voting for this too. Yes, I this is
ridiculous. And by the way, 60 extra billion dollars 60 extra
water was 60 extra billion dollars for the money going into
Iraq and Afghanistan. There are potholes on highway 80 that need
fix Seems like they're fixing the potholes in Iraq.
Let me tell you the potholes in Iraq are pretty pretty bad.
Yes, but don't fix them to sell they can just get filled with
dirt. Which is kind of what they do he just got a pet peeve it's
just a company
not a pet peeve pay nears 10 years have been hearing your
bitch about this.
Yes we have you ever driven on these roads that constantly I'm
gonna put a camera without and turn off the the image
stabilization. I'm going to glue it to the car. I'm gonna drive
on some of these roads and show you yes and posted on YouTube.
These roads is unbelievable. By the way I did. I almost broke an
axle on Highway five come when I was coming back from Los
Angeles. It's unbelievable. I
almost almost posted a comment on the face back the other day.
I think it was Dave Winer. Someone. Yeah, these tax cuts.
I'm doing the Dave Winer voice there. He's just gonna go to the
military industrial complex. All Republicans by the way. Know the
CEO of Raytheon, a woman.
The most of them are Democrats. The CEO of the Lockheed Martin's
death is a woman and a Democrat. So I meant I want to lock you
down to take a look at the Senate vote. And Tom, tell me
how many Democrats voted for this bill?
How many did most it's just a bigot. Yes,
we continue.
spending bill got mammoth bipartisan support in the
Senate. 89 senators voted yay. While only eight voted Nay. It
needed just simple majority to pass. Now getting into the nitty
gritty of the proposed National Defense Authorization Act 141
billion is set aside for military personnel costs,
including a 2.1% Troop pay raise. Eight and a half billion
is for the US Missile Defense Agency to defend against North
Korea, while 705 million is for the Israeli cooperative missile
defense programs well more than what the Trump administration
requested. Another 500 million will provide security assistance
including weapons to Ukraine, and 100 million to help bulk and
nations to quote deter Russian aggression. Now in addition to
spending allocation, Senators proposed hundreds of amendments
they hope to be attached to the NDAA. Most were left off but New
Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen 's amendment to ban the
use of Russian based Kaspersky Lab software across the federal
government was attached and passed. This comes a week after
the Trump administration directed federal agencies to
remove the software, saying the risk is too great to ignore that
the Russian government could use the private company software as
a backdoor into the US government. Then more
controversial amendments were left off the NDAA to promote its
passing. But this will not be the final version it must be
reconciled with the House version before heading to the
President's desk. The House passed its own plan in July and
the two do have differences. While Congress seems to agree on
very little these days, the National Defense Authorization
Act is seen as a must pass legislation and has been passed
55 straight years where it will run into trouble is with
finances. The House and Senate versions both defy sequestration
cap set and 2011. Democrats are not against blowing the cap. But
they also want to see caps eased on non defense spending and have
pledged to block major increases in military spending without
similar boost to domestic programs
was poor guys at Kaspersky Labs. They got screwed. They are suing
they didn't donate enough.
No, I think this is a payback for them. They're the ones who
pretty much discovered and busted everybody for Stuxnet.
Stuxnet
right? You're right. You're right.
This is this is your Hey, thanks for all that for all the help.
Yeah. Audio. So yeah, he knows motions.
Sorry. Sorry. Kaspersky.
Well, I have the let's play the tax cuts stuff that came out.
This was on CBS. And so there, there was very interesting
report because they were kind of this is a very interesting three
parter here I've got so let's start with the rundown.
President Trump got what he wanted most for Christmas.
Congress today approved a one and a half trillion dollar
package of tax cuts, part of the biggest overhaul of the tax code
in 31 years. It also cuts out a major part of Obamacare, ending
the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance
or pay a fine now right after I finally bought some damage. This
is the President's biggest legislative victory achieved
without a Democratic votes and he called Republicans to the
White House to celebrate Major Garrett was there.
This will indeed be a very big day when people look back at our
country.
President Trump and fellow Republicans celebrated on the
South Lawn and promised the tax cuts will unleash economic
growth.
It means jobs, jobs, jobs jobs.
The President showered praise on GOP leaders Mitch McConnell and
Paul Ryan
who has a little team, it's always a lot of fun when you
win. If you work hard and lose, that's not acceptable, but the
President
will sign the bill in the coming days. It reduces the corporate
tax rate from 35% to 21%. doubles the current standard
deduction for individuals and families and doubles the Child
Tax Credit. Taxpayers will see the effects in February
paychecks. Congressional Republicans who met the
President's Christmas deadline for passage served up fawning
praise for Mr. Trump,
but for your leadership, we would not be here today. You're
living up
to every everything I thought you would something this
profound, could not have been done without exquisite
presidential leadership.
No Democrats
are the bill party leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi said
Republican promises went unfulfilled.
They were going to reduce the brackets they did not. The
corporate loopholes are worse than ever in this bill.
For the President today ceremony kept a year of accomplishments.
Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court,
the qualifications of Judge Gorsuch are beyond dispute,
fewer illegal crossings on the southern border, regaining
territory from ISIS in Iraq and Syria and eliminating
regulations. But the President fell short on replacing the
Affordable Care Act. We all learned a lot, increasing
infrastructure spending and changing immigration laws. With
his trademark zest for superlatives job president says
he's just getting started.
So it's going to be really a very special period of time.
Republicans say
these tags
Wow, that was interesting the way they did that. They threw in
the jobs as his superlative. Let me listen to that again.
But the President fell short on replacing the Affordable Care
Act. We all learned a lot increasing infrastructure
spending and changing immigration laws. With his
trademark zest for superlatives job President steps
G's just getting started. So it's going to be really a very
special period of time.
Republicans say these tax cuts are having an immediate impact
late today to large banks, Wells Fargo and third fifth announced
they're raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour AT and T and
Comcast said they will be giving all most of their employees a
$1,000. Bonus, Jeff.
So one of his superlatives is jobs, jobs, jobs.
It's what it sounds like.
Yes, if no one else has ever said that. Like I don't know.
Nancy Pelosi Pelosi just to name one jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
If you quit question for Do you remember when she sat down and
what Bill were talking about?
Oh, no, I can't do you? I'm sure you do. Well, I
can't remember the exact name of the bill. But it didn't it
wasn't passed by the Senate. This is the bill, which was,
which was about the environment where we're going to, we're
going to green up the whole country. very extensive Bill,
how are we
all going? We're all going to be repairing windmills. That's our
new job.
We're gonna Yeah, houses are gonna have to be insulated.
There's all these rules about how much insulation you have to
have in your house, whether you like it or not. And it was all
about jobs,
jobs. The green economy? Yes, absolutely. And
it was a big failure, mainly because the Senate wasn't gonna
go for any of that. So let's play a clip to have this rundown
from CBS.
John, let me start with you. Mr. Trump begins the 12th month of
his presidency today. Put this year in context, if you would?
Well, it's a bit of a paradox. If you look on the one side, you
have all of those achievements that major talked about, that
the President got in here, he got a big legislative
achievement at the end, which was really a what he wanted. But
for somebody who came into the office with his signature skill
being marketing, all of those achievements have not paid off
in popularity, his approval rating, the average is at about
39%. This tax bill that he's been selling, the the approval
rating for that is below 30%, about 10 points away from where
the Affordable Care Act was when President Obama signed it, the
Republican Party is less popular. And so he has gotten
the achievement but what has eluded him so far is the
approval.
You know, I'm so tired of these, this number, like approval
number. No one's ever asked me, or anyone I know. Where does
this come from? And they always have an
ad really, this is promoted by the Washington Post in the New
York Times notorious Trump hater haters. And it's, I don't I find
them to be bogus, because I don't see any evidence of this.
And especially when they say when Republicans are asked they
find that they love this guy. So I just think it's just a bogus
some I don't know. I don't know. It's, it's beyond me.
It's just it's just something that I just like to pull out all
the time and say
everybody hates the tax relief. Yeah. Okay. Why is that? Why is
that
well I do have a I know if you want to, let's play certain
clips. Third clip
your Paul Ryan and Republicans kids want to go even further and
reform Medicare and Social Security as well. But some of
their colleagues think that could be radioactive in a
midterm election year, especially Jeff since President
Trump has promised not to touch entitlements
and trying to talk about that image that was projected today
at the White House that have a a unified party's at the case
right
now. Well, it sure looks like and remember a few weeks ago, we
were talking about? Well, the race in Alabama, which which
split the Republican Party and then also you've had some
senators, even those who were standing behind him today
smiling and applauding, like Senator Corker, who have been
openly critical of the president suggested he was a may not be
fit for the job. They are now all behind him. When when you'd
asked Paul Ryan about some of these controversies over the
last several months, he would say, Well, I'm not focused on
that. I'm focused on our agenda. And that's what you saw today.
They were in the Promised Land all of them together that locks
the party in behind the president. It is not just a
Republican Party, that's President Trump's party, but
it's now a unified Republican Party by that by today's
actions.
Okay, so we'll see. So
Tina said, Yeah, wow, what's gonna happen? You know, what's,
she works at a nonprofit, as a small salary. It's very
difficult to make money in a nonprofit unless you're, you
know, like Soros.
Gates, making money from his nonprofit, somebody's
making money. And there's someone sent me a link to tax
plan calculator.com. Yeah. And I don't know if it's, if it's, if
it's right, if it's if it's on if it's correct, but according
to that she'll save, I think, has something in the
neighborhood of $2,000 a year. Which is a lot once
people started getting their checks, starting in February
that are gives them more money. I think you're going to see
people not displeased.
Right. But this is just pure. This is just purely from, I
guess, the deduction and some other stuff. And you know,
that's a lot of money.
Yeah, yeah. $2,000 here, and there's Yeah, standard deduction
is gone way up. States like Texas do better than states like
California, and California is going to be a wash because
you're gonna get screwed out of state. Yeah.
So you can't deduct that. Now. Is that is that the Is that
what's going on? You can't deduct that.
Right? The big states like California, New York, and all
these places that voted for Hillary, yeah, all got screwed,
because if they voted for Hillary,
that's the way I see it doesn't seem very fair.
They voted for Hillary, then that reason we know we got
screwed on that deal. And also the roads.
No, yes. Yes, your potholes. You should go fix that yourself.
You're all there on the freeway?
Well then make the freeway a pay way.
No, it's even so there's still cars going by and they hit this
thing, making them worse?
Well, to get a little sampling of what dimension B is thinking
of the tax plan and who's read his weekend?
Can we get somebody to fix that?
I kind of like it. I think it's the best one we got.
I think it's I don't like it. I think it's lame. I mean, it's
like an old when you've patched it. This is nothing more than a
patch work. I didn't
patch it. So well, this is from The Secret MTV group, my former
colleagues. And what as I'm as I'm reading through this, I
realize what I need to do, I need to get a number of voices
and create a little radio play out of it because it's the post
and it's all the follow ups. It's all the replies. In this
case. It really works well.
So this should be a great radio play.
Yeah, we just need voices so I can try. We need an Oregon Dun
dun dun. Why don't you bring your recorder it will be
perfect. The record
recorders not going to cut it. Or Monica maybe so the original
post is well. Merry Christmas to us. We are screwed. And here we
go with the responses.
big ugly, hideous Fox, hideous Fox indeed.
It will create jobs and trickle down and expand economic growth.
Yep, we all know how great that works. It's hilarious. Yeah,
yeah, the benefits to the lower middle class should kick in
right around the time coal comes roaring back. I would laugh but
it's also sad and crazy. If If companies did care about their
employees and felt so damn generous, why haven't they all
wanted an increase in the minimum wage? This idea that
suddenly corporations aren't going to be greedy and will
willingly give raises. It's bull crap. That might have been you
who uses bull crap? You're the only person in the world no use
bull crap. Are you in my MTV group?
Bull bull crap
Exactly. I'm so mad right now. I literally hate every Republican
Wah wah wah and I have a swamp property for sale in Florida.
The GOP has over two on trickle down economy Hey 1986 2003 Yeah
didn't work in the 80s either. The new norm is the scariest
thing I've ever seen. This is a Twilight Zone episode. He's
ruining us. Absolutely. Come on asteroid Where are you oh my
goodness. You want some more?
Yeah these are all different people's
all different people yeah it's kind of hard to can't do all the
different voices every every single one is a separate it's
almost like labor should become the metric value. What about
means Reaganomics part two? I'm pretty sure GOP tax goals are
more money for rich people and corporations and trick poor
people into thinking that working for them. Yep. Yeah, me
as bent over New York City, New York City, New York State
taxpayer in early April got a guy bent over hits a merry
Christmas. Gary Cohn as the room full of corporate heads if they
would raise salaries only a couple raise their hands. We
need to buckle up talk to our lawyers and accountants and
figure out how to deal with MIB in the midterm elections. Cheese
people. Ah, Merry Christmas. Hang in this too shall pass. But
it will likely take some time. And just goes on and on. And on.
Yeah, I mean, it goes on and on and on. And it's like it's like,
imagine just put a recorder in the insane asylum.
It's It's baffling to me that they hear things because the
message has been very clear. Armageddon, we're going to die.
Wait, didn't I have that montage? Let's see that was that
montage?
Was it tax? Maybe Pelosi? See. I wonder what the title of that
one was. Tax die. Maybe we're all going to die.
That dammit I wish I had it. I thank you. Yes, thank you. Okay.
So anytime, anytime you want to look for the clips is fine by
me.
That was the commentary on yet snide remark. Okay. I think
these people are nuts.
Well, they're certainly uninformed or not like them.
Because I didn't go to American school and college. I didn't, I
was not trained to be a Marxist. I was not trained to have
feelings like we are rampantly having today for other people
and equality. And I would I got lucky. You're laughing? I think
I
you know, I know you've used this argument before. It's just
an excuse for not going to school.
No, no, it's not an excuse. Now. All these
people all these MTV years that you're listening to? They're all
one after the other? Are they all college educated? Yes,
yes. Every single one of them? You betcha. Really? Oh, yeah.
You couldn't get into MTV as an intern if you weren't in
college. And if you weren't, you couldn't work. Everyone I know
graduated everybody. Very well. Let's
back up again. Let me just consider you crediting that it
is it possible that it's just because you're not in that meal?
You at the moment you haven't been for years you were kicked
out? I don't know if it may be the milieu is what's causing
this. And if you were in the mill use, or you're a hotshot at
MTV right now that you'd be just like one of these,
well, these are the people who I worked with back in the day.
These are not most of them don't work for MTV anymore. They were
they're not in the milieu. They're just that well. Now the
milieu they're in is television. So they do you know, Saturday
Night Live, gnocchi, so they're still in the business. Yeah,
they're in the business. Yeah, just not MTV business. I mean,
what, what
would you say this then, if you were still in the business, you
know, the TV, not the cable business, not the podcasting
business, not the YouTube business, but in the business
that grew the business, NBC, CBS, ABC, in that milieu. Do you
think that you'd be thinking like you do today? Or you just
be lockstep with the rest of them?
No, I don't think so. I've never been that way. I've never I've
never been lockstep. I'm that's why I'm patently unhireable.
They tried to fire me the other day after I got there because I
said something politically incorrect about Madonna. Oh, I
was, I think I've told the story before.
I'd love to hear it again.
I just got there. And the press the Carol Robinson, she ran the
press department. We got a big interview lined up for you TV
Guide, which in the 80s was the magazine to be a TV Guide was
the largest subscription magazine in the United States at
the time, right, because we didn't have electronic kids. For
those of you who don't know, we used to look up what was on TV
and a booklet. And then a booklet came in the mail if you
subscribe to the booklet or you bought it when you bought your
groceries.
Yeah, there was always there was a point of purchase item right
at the front of the checks, right?
That's right, then. And that's how you looked it up. That's how
you looked up. It was on TV had forgotten about that. How
archaic does that seem? These days, I
was also in the newspaper. They had this the schedules and you
didn't need TV Guide necessarily for local television.
Yeah, but the newspapers were not as far as I can remember,
we're not allowed to publish in advance, because the TV Guide
actually had deals with the broadcasters. So they had
exclusive on bringing you what was coming up that week. And the
newspapers could not do that. They could only print what was
coming up today. And I think for Friday, they could do for the
weekend.
Well, they could do the following, which is what they
did. They had what rewrite it was today's schedule, there's no
reason to have anything other than that, because you had the
newspaper, you always got a newspaper. And they would have
advertisements for what was coming up later in the week.
Which it seems to me to be the smart way to go anyway. Because
who's gonna give it away? Give it away?
Right? I always hated it because they would, I would be on MTV,
and you'd look under MTV and just be video clips. Video clips
with Adam curry, no video clips,
your name was music video clips.
So this does come back to our conversation about the
educational system. And the DoD report and the Reese Commission,
which is I have to say, I think we've probably discussed a lot
of this throughout the years, there was a point where you were
even threatening to do a special I kind of think this is your
your education special. Certainly the work you did on
last show, which a lot of people seem to really like, yeah, it
was good stuff. Yeah. And I'm just following up I'm just
because now people are sending me stuff like oh, gee, I forgot
about that. And this, all this all these different things. And
actually, there was a little bit on the the Ford Foundation. Who
were one of the groups credited with changing the curriculum in
the educational system, certainly in the United States
of Gitmo nation. And, and so, yes,
I was gonna say, which reminds me Whatever happened to Common
Core? Well common, that has not been in the conversation on our
show for months and months and months. And I haven't heard it
on the news media for months and months and months, and I haven't
heard it on right wing talk radio for months and months and
months.
Or maybe I'll do this out of sequence. There's Well,
let's get to divert. I know, you're gonna tell us the Madonna
story.
Oh, the Madonna story. Jeez, I'm glad you reminded me
Capilla you're wandering off? Like, like you were trying to
avoid it. Anyway, go on.
It's not now it's not all that big a deal. So the way it works
is you sit down in the press office in their little cubby
corner couch, so they can all listen in on the speakerphone.
Make sure not saying something horrible. Then suddenly to your
new the new VJ is great. You know, so
this was not a live in studio interview.
This was with the well. No TV guy or the phone TV guys a
magazine. So it was yeah, they were interviewing me about being
the new VJ on the scene. Oh, okay. All right, go on. And as
you know, you've been doing this for because I've been working in
Holland and I've met lots of celebrate ease. And so what did
you think of Madonna? Now she's not really that nice.
Well, hold on a second. Why would they ask that question out
of the blue?
Because empty that? No, it wasn't out of the blue was like
okay, you've been working in the television. You've been working
in music, television. You've met lots of people. You've done lots
of interviews.
Sure. What do you think in a Madonna? Yes, it's
not that nice. I thought they were going to shoot a brick. And
they'd like hit the mute button. You can't say that. If you say
that you've read the performing the Video Music Awards. Oh, you
know those handles those deals they would do?
Yeah, you were just you were you were being too honest. Yeah,
exactly. You don't want honesty. No, no, that was foolery hire to
be honest. It was not your job. Long thing wrong thinking. You'd
be talking he had nice smile a lot.
Shut up and smile a lot. Boy. Exactly. It's exactly what it
was. was sorry, they and they hated me. They never got press
for me again after that. I was not to be trusted with press.
Well, it was a screw up.
No, it was honest. Yeah. It was it was such a double standard. I
don't want to get into it. And those
are the same people probably the same mentality that are writing
those notes and face bag certainly bitching about one
thing, or they can be honest there. Yeah. So they're
expressing themselves?
Yes. The answer the private face bag group. So I guess they can
be honest there.
Yeah. Well, then you now you know what's going on in the
background of all media? Yeah.
So actually, so there's one woman in particular now moving
on back to the education stuff if you're okay with that?
Yeah, just wanted to hear the story.
And there's been a lot I mean, you get on the YouTubes. And you
start looking around for stuff DoD report risk commission is
some extensive stuff. And I mean, I'm just going to play you
one little piece. And there'll be more as we move forward as we
examine the idiocy of dimension B. And this woman's name is
Charlotte Iturbi. I
listen to all her stuff. Yes.
And she wrote the book, which we've discussed in the past, the
deliberate dumbing down of the American education system, which
is very hard to get. It's certainly not on Kindle, and I
haven't, do you have a copy of it? I think
I've been meaning to get it, I just picked up a copy of a
couple of other crazy old books like that.
And, and, and now this was shot by Rob do. He's one of our
knights, he actually works for Infowars. It was shot six or
seven years ago, and he sent me a text message to die. You mean,
you got to look at this, because we did this and, and it fits
right into what you guys are talking about. So okay, so there
is some dramatized music from time to time that comes in, and
this is one clip. But this is when she was living abroad, she
married a guy, a Belgian guy, and was living in Brussels, and
she's worked in embassies, State Department, Department of
Education, she's a government woman, yes. And she uncovered
all of these different things that were taking place. And in
particular, the training of change agents. And this was
government sponsored program, where you learn how to change
the thinking of the children in the schools. So she came back
from, from living abroad, sent her kids to public school, and I
think its main, and she got on the school board, and you know
about the PTA, or whatever it is. And they were talking about
what the curriculum should be. And this is where we pick up the
story with her. And we'll just listen for a little bit.
And I said, What, and she said, Well, it's not it's called
Innovations in Education. And it's how to become a change
agent. She paid $100, for me to go, I went, and all these normal
looking people nice, some from my own school district and all
in and the guy is a facilitator, but he's using this big book,
called Innovations in Education, a change agents guide, and it
has all these case studies. This
is a book we need, by the way. A change agents guide sounds like
something I've read
of teachers and administrators and how to sneak in
controversial curriculum, such as death at sex ed, bullying,
add, alcohol, and drug add, you know, all these programs that
have education hanging off the end of them that have nothing to
do with education. It's interesting, you don't have math
and science at all. They call it math and science and history,
right. But when you see anything with education hanging off the
end of it, red flag in that training, he taught us how to
identify resistors in our community, and they were the
people who were smart, who knew that these programs were
designed for nothing other than to make children engage in sex,
to drink, to take drugs, to do all of the things that the
programs were the parents were being told the progress were to
help the children. I was considered a resistor to hear
who they were training, training me to identify myself. And so
she has this interesting Dutch ism because it was she was in
Belgium, but the Flemish part. And I noticed this throughout
the entire interview. Very much were in America we say right, in
Holland, and also in the Flemish part of Belgium. They say at the
end. So they,
you know, it's like Canadians is a
Yeah, it's like an A, and it's, it's kind of guttural and odd.
I was considered a resistor to hear I hear they were training,
training me to it. and I find myself. And so I never ever got
over that. Also, we were being trained to go to the important
people in the community. And they're really very good people,
we all know they are their friends of ours, no, but their
head of rotary head of Garden Club, head of historical
society, you go to them, and you explain to them and very, very
good, you know, highly skilled change agent manner, which is
just lies, how important these programs are for your children.
We've got to put these programs in. This was 1973, all the way
through right now that period in education, we call it the
unfair.
Now you've you've met, because now I'm listening to listening
to it is incredibly annoying. Yeah. I mean, it's because just
like, right, you're right, right, right. Right, I
think is better.
I don't think so I find it to be. If someone says right now
I'm noticing. I mean, if you hadn't said anything, you would
have
noticed it. ruins your day, you can't listen to the guests, you
know, I can listen to the clip and you ruined my day.
1073 all the way through right now, that period, in education,
we call it the unfreezing of our children's values, the ones
taught by the parents at home, and the church, basically,
change agents were highly trained by the National Training
laboratories, we had the headquarters for that and Bethel
man that goes all the way back to World War Two, I have the
original paper from that. And it said that what they're putting
in is the they want to change the values to unfreeze the
system. And then they're going to implement the new values, the
new communist values for World Government. Hmm. So that was the
goal. And they did a good job on it between 1970 and the year
2000. And now the value is, as we can all see, people are
saying, Oh, well, we got to be tolerant, you know, they're no,
no absolutes anymore. That's not fair to judge people don't be
judgmental. If you're your grandmother is dying of cancer
and can't afford, you can't afford the medicine. It's okay
to steal it. You know, that's what you call a values
clarification. With the education for a planned economy,
using workforce training to identifying children at a very
early age, what they're going to do with the rest of their lives.
It's the Soviet plastic economic system, starting as early as
first grade. That's been put in now, under the guise of school
choice charter schools and using the performance based outcome
based scenario and Pavlovian method with a computer.
And that's where Common Core comes in. And that is something
that I will definitely highlight in the, in the forthcoming clip.
Because they are thinking about this, this is I've heard this
woman, I heard this speech. I've heard most of this stuff. But
there's one thing that kind of stuck when I was a kid, and
obviously this system was put into place early. And she blames
it all on this one guy bloom, who we'll discuss later, but
when I was a kid, and they took this out, they took this away. I
don't know why they took it away. Why they didn't keep it
going, but what they used to have, when you were if you're a
baby boomer, you went to school, you were put on tracks. Yeah,
just preconceive your preconceived, okay, this kid is
going to be an idiot. So we'll put him in with the dumb kids.
And there was a thing called College Prep. And it was a track
it was always the smartest kids all in the same class.
He went to AP for advanced placement classes, I presume.
From what but if you're on the if you're on the
fat, right, yeah. And the 90s I was going to school a long time
for advanced placement. I was asking rages scam don't get me
started on advanced placement. How about an advanced placement
a, like I told, I was mentioning a friend of mine is one of the
board members of Letters and Science at the University of
California. And he says all you can't even get into Cal now
unless you have over a 4.0 grade point average. And I said what?
How do you get over a 4.0 grade? make any sense better than
perfect? How do you get the grade does you get an A? It's
four, four points, right? How do you get over that? I don't know.
You can't it's impossible, but oh no, no, you can't with this
bullcrap Advanced Placement stuff, which is exploited by the
Chinese by the way more than anybody else. Now then, those
days, they didn't have anything like that. That's ridiculous. I
mean, I don't even know when that showed up. But it had to be
within the last 20 years. So anyway, but they put you in
these classes. These, the college prep is called College
Prep and you're a college prep kid in like the fourth grade,
the fifth grade, the sixth grade, the seventh grade, right.
Once you were in high school, then you took courses. It was
different. It was a little more like college but When in grammar
school you are you are put on a track. And it was always
interesting to me because the all the other kids were in like
there be like, I don't know, sixth fourth grade arts, let's
say fifth sixth grade, that's where it was most obvious. There
would be 6/6 grade classes, all different ones. And the dumber
the kids were, the more they were put in a certain class of
dummies. Yeah, it was the damnedest thing you've ever
seen.
Well, I went to the socialist Dutch school, in the 70s,
entered in the fifth grade. Then the sixth grade, you had the big
test, the Seto toots, see it Oh, Seto two central centralized
testing. And that test will determine where you go after
sixth grade, then that you would either go to the I think they
call it the loams hole, or the lower jobs training. Then you
had the middle jobs training, then you had higher higher
smarter kids, the H Daviau and Lyceum for Athenaeum gymnasium.
And the tests were determined there wasn't it wasn't like the
test and your grades. And it was it was the test. I didn't even
speak Dutch. So I got to 32 out of 100 Not a good score. And my
parents went to school. And they said, Oh, you know, it's a
distant bill. He's a smart kid. So somehow they let me through
into the HA vo that which is like the third from the top. And
I failed miserably. Of course, I couldn't speak the language and
know what the head they.
They you're like a kid that can't speak English. And he's in
a regular class. So doing
that, and of course, I got demoted. But you could see it
was like, You are dumb, you got X score, you're going to that
you're going to learn how to weld, you're going to learn how
to do shop, you're going to learn how to repair cars, and
you're going to go on and you might become a professor. And
that was the system. And it seems like
that? Yes. I'm saying this sounds like the system I was
we're familiar with.
So what's interesting in what she talks about is that they're
all that the education department in the United States,
made all these deals, starting with the Russians. And this was
Gorbachev, I think, with it was Reagan and Gorbachev, Reagan and
Gorbachev and they came up with the United States Russia
program, improving research and educational activities in higher
education, they have a similar deal with China, where we are
melding together all of these concepts, right down to the
centralized testing right down to the Common Core. And when you
really look into how kids take tests, and how they study on the
computer, is you're really not learning anything. It's really
just like face bag, you know, like, Oh, I did something good.
I got a little little I feel good, dopamine hit. So the kids
aren't learning, they're learning how to make the
computer, give them a happy face if they select the right answer.
In fact, when you
start looking into this, it turns out, they don't want to
talk about this too much. But I think this woman brings it up
and see they're in her book, or it's other books that they do
really no one's been able to, to even come close to one on one
instruction. No. In other words, if I take somebody aside and
start you know, that's what tutoring is, mentoring is very
similar. And the one thing they hate talking about, which is
homeschooling, yes. Which is totally one on one. And they
turns out that kids develop twice as fast and get twice as
smart. That's why you would look at any spelling bee and whether
it's an American or, or an Indian, or whatever ethnic group
it is, it's always a homeschooled kid who wins the
spelling bees, because they can concentrate on that or whatever
they want to concentrate on. Some kid wants to be a good
speller. Okay, well, let's, let's go. The thing that they
want on one thing is a problem they can't seem to get around.
And the other problem seems to me that the education system
itself really relies on sociology. And sociologists, and
people that study this society, and we make Americans emphasize
sociology a lot. And that's where they think they can
manipulate kids into thinking a certain way, voting a certain
way, doing certain things certain way. But one of the
basic tenets of sociology is that your surroundings and
opinion and the people, the Emile, you, which I'm always
talking about, the milieu has more to do with it than anything
else. And so you could take, for example, when I was on the track
to be I was in a smart kids class, you could technically
take a motivated kid from the dumbest class and put him in
this class. And because of the meal, you change, he'd be a
smart kid, right? And they did something that just must, it
must really bug them that this basic tenant of sociology is
never really implemented in these in these in these
socialistic It seems it just never is.
So from from this, this one particular interview with
Charlotte, is Ruby. I've started looking into this, it's a kind
of a small book. It's not, you can't even get it on Amazon. But
it's available online, I put a link to in the show notes called
lines of credit ropes of bondage by Robert Henry Goldsboro. And
this explains this, really, this is something you want to read.
And it explains the entire thinking behind what the time
the guys who were running the show, you know, the bankers, the
big bankers who are going to, you know, we're funding war, and
we had this in the in your DoD clips, you know, they wanted to
find out what can we do? How can we get people to know how do we
change people? Well, you can change people through war,
that's pretty good. And then they came up with this idea of
changing education. And it is the Carnegie, the Ford, and the
what's the third one, I'm thinking of Rockefeller
Rockefeller Foundation, but they also did a lot of work on music.
And when you look into a lot of the theories about where hip hop
and rap, rap music comes from, and what is promoted, what isn't
promoted, and what it's really saying. It's very, it's it's
kind of mind blowing. So that's something I encourage everybody
to read. But these, these guys have not stopped. And when you
think about the social justice warrior movement of today, and
you listen to this interview on Bloomberg, this is a guy from
the Ford Foundation, the president Darren Walker, ah,
black guy, just saying because he references that he he look
where he is today, you kind of understand that this has not
stopped with, you know, their influence, because they're
making large grants available for certain types of curriculum
that can only that money can only be used if they do it that
way, the schools. Not sorry, this one, income inequality
is especially hot this year as we head into an election. And
we're in a period where we're having stronger job creation.
But income inequality is only worsening everyone at this
table. What is
income inequality of these that that women earn less than men
for the job? Or what is that what is now
it this is specific, this is a class again, this is a class
structure issue, which is a cycle in the United States, by
the way, because we had the same almost exactly the same thing
before the 29 crash, outrageous income inequality, that means
rich people are getting richer is of course, well, poor people
are getting poorer.
And we need to even that out because we need those,
soak the rich, get some of that money from them. And now by the
way, I'm gonna stop at all thinking for a moment and, and
go to a state take one step up, and realize that if a wealth tax
was implemented, all these problems would be over. But
okay, that I'm not going to even discuss it any more than that,
but that's what income inequality so
let's just agree on some terms as this topic will be. I think
we're going to be talking about this for a while. Why don't we
not to do big topics, but little bits? I believe the concept that
that these foundations are pushing is Marxism. Would you
agree with that? Not socialism, not communism. But Marx today,
the guys who keep talking about it like to call it collectivism.
And Marxism is a very specific
term to it's very loaded into. Yeah,
I and I think collectivism
will use collectivism from now on, I
like income inequality is especially hot this year as we
head into an election. And we're in a period where we're having
stronger job creation. But income inequality is only
worsening everyone at this table. Everyone in this building
is very passionate about this issue. Darren, how are you
addressing it?
Why is everyone at Bloomberg passionate about that issue? I
just Just a question that she thought I think you were
brought, we brought it up and discussed it earlier in this
segment about the media. It's the media, the milieu of the
media, including Bloomberg and everybody else, there are a
bunch of borderline communists collectivists.
Well, the American people are concerned about it for the first
time or then 50% of the American people believe that inequality
is a major challenge. We're addressing it by organizing all
of our grant making in the US and around the world. Because
inequality in many ways undermines our vision for a more
just and fair world. And for Americans inequality is pretty
isn't this. I love this. I mean, he's saying it right there.
Anything if you listen to right wing talk radio and you listen
to this stuff, you find that the distinction that we made did
somebody pointed out to us and we've been following it, but we
don't remind ourselves enough about it is that the Democrats
are into equality and justice, and the Republicans are into
freedom and liberty. That distinction is major to
understand And these two sides and you're on to, you can tell
these people are Democrat Democrat thinkers because they
keep bringing up equality.
So again, it's it's liberty and freedom versus equality and
justice, equality and justice. It's a whole bunch of words
fighting each other
in the US and around the world. Because inequality in many ways
undermines our vision for a more just and fair world. For
Americans, inequality is particularly problematic,
because it takes us robs from us, opportunity, aspiration.
These are the pillars of our culture, the ability to get on
the social mobility. A kid like me started in a shotgun shack in
a small town
was a shotgun shack,
I guess a shack where they store shotguns I have no idea.
It sounds like some, okay, I'll look it up,
get social mobility, a kid like me starting in a shotgun shack
in a small town in Texas ending up as president of the Ford
Foundation. That's an American story. The question is, will
there be more American stories like mine and yours, David in
America's future, and if the trends around inequality
continue, there won't be indeed, the American people. And it's
not just the Trump supporters are feeling increasingly
vulnerable, increasingly insecure. And what that does is
it drives wedges in our in our society and our democracy.
Inequality is bad for our democracy. It kills aspirations
and dreams, and makes us more cynical as a people. So you've
identified this, you've written a letter saying this is your
number one priority for treasurer, what are you going to
do about it? We're going to make big grants for big impact. We're
going to work on a new initiative called inclusive
economies where we want to get to a conversation about
sound like New World Order much inclusive economies.
A shotgun house is a narrow rectangle, it is a shack that
shot a house not a shack is a narrow rectangular domestic
residence, usually no more than about 12 feet wide with rooms
arranged one behind the other and doors at each end of the
house. Thank you. What are you going to do?
We're going to make big grants for big impact. We're going to
work on a new initiative called inclusive economies, where we
want to get to a conversation about what kind of capitalism do
we want to have in America, a capitalism that is an economy of
have a hollowed out middle class and a low wage workforce, or
capitalism that produces shared prosperity, where all Americans
have an opportunity to get ahead, get a good education, and
live a secure life.
That's very interesting. What kind of capitalism
He keeps talking to he's a classic example of the of the
motif with keep talking about equality. And just this in that,
which is equality and justice again, yes. And that's all they
talk about. They'll never mention liberty. And I'll never
mention freedom. And
notice that he says we're making big grants. Yeah, big grants
grants to promote this agenda. Of course, and, sadly, this is
only on Bloomberg. No one else watches that. But you and I
know and that's wrong. Just you.
Just me, and parents just don't understand parents don't know.
Now they're idiots. Well, no, they're not informed and they
don't know what's what's going on. And they, in fact, most
parents today have already gone through this system and like,
oh, yeah, okay, I'm all for it. They dig in
it. Well, they should all be for homeschooling, and they wouldn't
be such a problem, but go on.
Well, I was just going to play them from their website, the
Ford Foundation's most recent video promo, and that would wrap
it up for today is hip music by the way, they got the baseline
in there now.
Era in every country movements emerge that attempt to transform
society. Why do some succeed, while others falter? build
powerful social movements. three core components need to align
political opportunity, organizational infrastructure,
and engaged individuals. These components are shaped both by
long simmering social, economic and political trends and
unforeseen eruption. And for significant change to occur. All
three must be strong. Take the anti apartheid in a moment
shaped by African decolonization, the apartheid
regime and the Cold War, there emerged strong political
opportunity, including international sanctions and
openings within South Africa and engaged in mobilized citizenry
and established organizational infrastructure. over several
decades, the three sectors worked in collaboration,
sometimes epic, sometimes slowing but building enough
momentum to eventually bring apartheid to an end. But when
one or more components are weak movements falter. Take the
example of the Occupy movement, which arose against the backdrop
of the financial crisis. The growing inequality, the Arab
Spring and Citizens United. It sprang from individuals
expressing their outrage at corporate bailouts and systemic
inequality. political opportunity followed, eventually
leading to some reforms. But robust new infrastructure did
not emerge, and momentum fizzled as organizations proved unable
to fully harness the grassroots movement. Today, a 21st century
women's movement is gaining strength at a time shaped by an
assault on women's reproductive rights, economic inequality and
the immigration. Political opportunities arising as issues
such as paid sick leave and minimum wage are being
recognized as women's rights issues. Established women's
rights organizations are forming new coalition's with workers
rights and immigration groups through an energized grassroots
base, transforming women's rights movements by focusing on
economic issues. movement building is far from an exact
science. And it takes more than a simple formula to make social
change happen. But when political opportunity,
organizational infrastructure and engaged individuals unite,
they can create a powerful force capable of bending the arc of
history towards doctor
I hate this, mainly because the mix the music's
just slave training and seeing yes as well thing. In fact, as
I've mentioned on the show before, if minimum wage was true
to itself, it'd be around $30 an hour, but nobody ever brings
that up. Because this is all oriented or keeping people poor.
They want Pete they're talking about minimum wage, minimum
wage, minimum wage, nobody should be paid that unless your
kids in school or the summer, they really can't get another
job there.
No, no, no, stop, stop right there. You're so right. Instead
of saying, hey, everybody should be able to exceed and be able to
make as much money as they want or be as successful as they
want. It may not become in monetary forms. But instead it's
like, you need minimum wage slave. You fight for what you're
fighting down.
You're fighting down and for our minimum wage that is bogus. $15
is not a minimum wage is ridiculous. That's a slave wage.
And oh, yeah, we've got we're gonna raise it to 50 Raise it
from, it shouldn't be rosy. Like I said, I've got done the
calculation, when it was first brought into the system, it
should be 30 bucks or more. And they're never no one ever
suggests even suggests that because it would screw things
up, it would maybe release some of these poor people from the
bondage that they're in. It's unbelievable. Jimmy this whole,
this whole operation is just to sounds like they just want to
keep everybody down.
Yes, that is the point. So you become a we become an entire
global citizenry of slaves who work for minimum wage, or a
portion who goes on to become the elites. And you're chosen
right there in your Shula, the shooter chooses you, then we
take you in and we, we accept you up here.
And you're supposed to
like it. You will love it slave
to training, the trainings for I'm sorry, but that's what the
training is for the training is that and all these people that
are involved with all this of all these social justice
warriors, and everybody individually, they've been
trained to like it? Yep. Because one of the things they like is
bitching and moaning about the you know, the difference between
the UnYk inequality and the lack of justice and all this stuff,
because it makes them feel like they're accomplishing something.
All they're doing is just putting themselves in a box and
stay in there. It's unbelievable. So no, no way of
right. picking people up. You're not interested in that. No, no,
it's
keeping people down, fight down for your low wage slave. That's
what that's the message. Then now, you
know why I'm different. shake your fist at the rich people,
even though most of them are Democrats. I mean, the whole of
Silicon Valley is Democrats with a very few exceptions. Yes,
sir. Damn, they're the ones that are being engaged by the
political class to help propagate this slave mentality.
This Pavlovian response. On the next live show we do next week,
I'll bring in the bits about the computer and what that what that
has done to the classroom and what that is offered to
you get me my blood boiling. I'll have to
donate to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Well, we do have some people to thank for show 982 And we'll
begin with Norman Norman Pearson, the third in Macon,
Georgia. He sent us a comment by email but I don't have it. And
of course he's it's I was thinking maybe I should at least
have it here so I can see if there's anything important in
it. Raymond any we came up with $162.03 $363.32 16332 Raymond

When you get it in. It's always fun to see that on Twitter and
people are always very confused by the people who are these guys
doing just this I had already add. Exactly. Okay, um, couple
of if Russia clips maybe I have
before that I want to mention something. Okay, so I'm holding
in my hand the 18 hole 18 eggs, carton of Alfresco pasture
raised. Vital farms, medium grade under open skies on green
grass grass made with fresh air freedom to forage outdoors,
you're around these eggs. So I bought at Grocery Outlet and
looks like a good day I try them. They seem to be okay.
They're good. Good enough. I'm not great. But they're decent.
But they're from Austin. Are you familiar with the chicken farms
in Austin, Texas? Yes. Yes, apparently this is one of them.
And I'm thinking what is it cost to ship? A couple of dozen eggs
or 18 eggs in this case, from Austin to Oakland or wherever
the grocery outlets are? I mean, it's that seems like a very
counterproductive situation.
Instead of just getting some local live local eggs from
chicken. Yeah, or from the backyard if you have your own
chickens. Now. These are supposed to be organic free
range happy chickens,
ethical, ethical, ethical, ethical
eggs. Oh,
enjoys 108 square feet of outdoor I
know exactly who this is because they're at the farmers market
here. I know exactly how they're very nice people. When you go to
get eggs, white This is farmer Chris. He's a member farmer
Chris.
This seems like a pretty big operation for farmer Chris.
The EBIT. Farmer Chris sold to the big operation.
Oh, yeah. Vital Farms is that I don't
know if that's the name and right there and when you buy the
eggs he has pictures a whole picture book of the chickens
like all happy.
Walking around. I'm
happy I'm in Austin. I'm happy. I'm a happy Chair
of forage outdoors year round, made with fresh air and
sunshine. And since it's very well good, yummy, but tended by
hand on family farms across America. So these things these
days come from these vital farms as a as a congregate or
somebody's buying up these little farmers. And Jen putting
these eggs out as these happy hens.
Happy hens. Happy hens. Is that the brand happy hens
now the brand is al fresco.
This could be a song Happy Hands.
Happy Hands happy.
Jingle they should totally have a jingle. Yeah, happy.
We're happy hands.
So what are you doing for Christmas? Are you going to to
Washington
know everybody's all spread out on Christmas? Are we having our
Christmas here at the house? On like the 29th? Or the 30th? Oh,
and what do you what I, by the way, have been advocating this
for years, which is pushing off Christmas. Because of one two
reasons. One, I'm cheap. And you can right after Christmas, you
can go to the all this Boxing Day and all these places that
are selling stuff at a deep discount and you could buy a
bunch of last minute gifts at a good deal. And then you have
your Christmas where there's not a big rush and get a turkey
cheaper. I'll cook a turkey or goose
and Mr. Scrooge man.
No, I'm not. I'm not saying it's just for that. But it's like
you're gonna do it. Literally. You don't have to be everything
has to be on the day or we got to do this on the day. Oh, it's
my birthday. It's got to be on the day. And I'm not a big
believer. I don't I'm not buying that. It's not a scrooge thing
but as a benefit. I see it as a scrooge thing. Yes.
We're going to Chicago. Yeah, I
heard that. Well, I'm
telling you I'm telling the whole audience just
saying I heard you go to Chicago. Yeah. Going to Chicago.
And so it's a Tina's family is like like 18 sisters. The her
mom, her girls, there's gonna be Girls Night Out is gonna be a
whole bunch of women. And I think three dudes
like you guys are screwed over. We are totally screwed. But what
word in edgewise
What the hell was going on with with Chicago though? Didn't know
what? This is the Cook County Commissioner Cook County. That's
in Chicago. I take it in Cook County in Chicago. He's the Cook
County Commissioner Richard, you live in Chicago? Didn't you as a
kid?
Oh, yeah. I was a kid. I lived in Chicago, Chicago, Chicago.
So he was interviewed at the airport on his way to
Washington, DC.
Well, we're headed to the United Nations to meet with the
Assistant Secretary General to talk about the violence in
Chicago to gun violence in particular, the bloodshed that's
taking place in too many of our communities like Austin, West
Garfield Park, North Mondale, places like that, where we've
just seen horrific levels of shootings and that sort of
thing. And so I'm hoping to appeal to the UN to actually
come to Chicago, and meet with victims of violence, and maybe
even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts.
Blue Helmets in Chicago, last Yes, yes, yes, he's serious. He
wants the peacekeeping corps in Chicago, it's that bad. He wants
the blue helmets, Muslims of violence.
Wait, so we can expect a cholera outbreak in Chicago, because
you'll be in Chicago, you're going to be pooping, and
maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts.
Because I think it's so critical for us to make sure that these
neighborhoods are safe. Quite frankly, we failed the people of
Chicago in many instances in these communities, because we
failed to protect them from the violence. I will also say this,
that there is a quiet genocide taking place. In too many of our
communities. 80% of those who are being killed by gun violence
are African American, often killed at the hands of another
African American. And so we protect these population groups,
and that's what the United Nations does. They're a
peacekeeping force. They know all about keeping the peace and
so we're hopeful that they'll they'll hear our appeal.
Wow. Wow.
How about that? Blue Helmets
and die get you desert Clip of the Day?
I knew I was gonna do it. I knew I had to hold on to it for two
hours. It was hard. Well, that would be fantastic.
I think it'd be fantastic too. I wonder what a humiliation for
the United States. This is just another way to humiliate Trump.
Yeah, man, take care of our own states even though it's a
democratic state, completely, it wouldn't work out for the
Democrats. But we had to bring the UN into Chicago to do
peacekeeping. And we're gonna it's never gonna happen, by the
way, so we can just and I believe our dreams behind I
believe
he used the term genocide specifically because that
triggers the genocide. It Yeah, the the G word. Genocide is
not when the same ethnic groups killed themselves. Oh, it's
incorrect, but he's using it because he wants to get the blue
helmets on the street. Can you imagine? That'd be great. But we
should have the International. Yeah, blue helmets. So we should
have you know, guys from Sri Lanka, the ones with the
cholera, we should have, you know, collar against Japanese
and it'd be funny. Little Japanese guys with blue helmets
protecting you in the streets of Chicago? Wow.
Yeah, well, again, it's nice to think that it would could
happen, but it's not possible. Even possible.
Let's talk about some hate here. Let me see. Oh, pate good to
good newsletter. And it's interesting that you
deconstructed these seven words, because I hear this as I wanted
to do that. We didn't get to it on Sunday show. Because when I
read the seven words, I had the exact same trigger that you
spoke of in the newsletters, like George Carlin said the
seven words you can't say on television. So very masterfully
chosen by WaPo. Because, well, why don't you just briefly tell
the story, and then I'll play the Seth Meyers bit where he
goes off on it.
Yeah, the Washington Post in what appears to be a very bogus
story, according to at least the National Review, and other
people have looked at it and tried to find some documentation
for this made the claim that how HHS Health and Human Services
have an edict or a memo or something where they can't use
seven words. Yeah. And the seven words includes I don't know if
you have the list in front of you, but transgender science and
data science, so science based evidence basing, like just all
these trigger words that are just got nothing to do with
anything that nobody would ever want people not to use, but they
made this claim that they're wanting to use it. Everybody
read this, my even my Mimi, I talked to her about it. And she
says, oh, oh, that was a bogus story. I said, Yeah. You didn't
know that. Did you? Why would you? Watch this Facebook?
So she watched his Facebook? Yes. That's
what you're doing. You're watching it. So turns out to be
bullcrap. And then I deconstructed and the thing that
triggered me when did they get deconstruction was the seven,
the seven to seven triggers the Yes, George Carlin bit about the
seven words a day FCC won't let you use. And I believe the whole
thing was structured for that in mind. Why seven completely
well to trigger and just the trigger just calling back to the
to using computers? In the classroom? The I don't know.
Yeah, I'm sure you've heard this all around. But kids today are
triggered, and they speak about being triggered. And that is all
created by this Pavlovian way of learning, or teaching, I should
say, if they're really learning, and the kids are, I believe,
taught to be to be out to be open and ready for certain
triggers that then bomb then this information that's stored
in them. But it's white privilege, less racist, moving
these sections when it's all programmed,
marked the time.
Because when I was growing up, when I was a kid, we didn't get
triggered. We got triggered. Seriously, we didn't even use
the
word is better than Chevy or Chevy's better than Ford. You
have these
two groups. Now, that would be a trigger, but that wasn't taught
in class.
No, it's just like a natural thing. So are the baseball team
you liked?
And I have to be honest, I mean, I sometimes try and see if I can
find the triggers. And it's quite easy. You know, you can
you can say things to the kids and they that you can, you can
get them going real quick. You should try it next time. They're
over for dinner.
I do it all the time. I
knew it. I knew it. What's your favorite?
I don't know if I have a favorite I can come up with
because this is something that's spur of the moment. So I can't
tell you but what I'll make a note next time I do it. I'll let
you know on the show.
Because I I'd like to know if it's is it just is it a phrase a
concept or just a word?
Yeah, I know words work. Yeah.
So I want to have the seven trigger words have no agenda,
seven trigger words, that you can just throw in willy nilly,
just for a bad idea. Or maybe some of our listeners can come
up with some. You have to have to be true trigger words. In
other words, not just some annoying word, but a word that
actually will get the dimension be people starting to chatter.
Oh, you can't say that. Right. Most of it's that you can't say
that. You can say why? You can't say that. Why can't say it's not
a cuss word. I just know the lady in the room that I'm
worried About Yeah, it's just words is like these these random
words. Well remember,
these words are used to silence your voice on Twitter. It's very
evil words, they silence people's voices is
one of the ones that you can use for the kids is, you have to be
judicious when you use it. Which reminds me of the joke done by
Silverman. And that word is Chinaman.
Oh, good one.
Another word is moist.
I don't think so well, but moist story about moist. People hate
the word moist. But at women in particular, can stand the word
moist. And not believing that this is a real trigger word. I
think if you say Chinamen Chinaman which by the way, most
Chinese aren't, aren't offended by. But if you just say it to
the Chinese, to the kids, they think you're either an old fart,
or it's like, I'm reminded the Carson Show this this woman
actually knows on The Larry Sanders Show is that was the
mockery of the of the Carson Show where this woman is they
sit this guy down and he starts talking about I'm glad to see
have a lot of colored work in here. Oh, and he went on and on
about the colored and they're glad they're making. So that's
probably a trigger word colored colored colored. Yeah, sorry.
It's harder to work into a conversation but stuff like
that. Yeah, to know that kids go crazy. Yeah.
It's fun. It's fun to do. Yeah, I'm not gonna play the jingle.
But I did want to make note of the planned obsolescence that
Apple has been doing and it hit me finally understand what their
gap with their Gambit is.
Make money? Yeah,
well, they've Geekbench I think goes Geekbench discovered that
there are you have to there are three settings for battery and
power usage in the iPhone. And the two are full speed and then
you have reduced which you can set yourself if your battery's
low, it will say hey, do you want to go into conservation
mode? Sure. But if you recall, when the six came out, and I had
this Tina had this, the your phone? Yeah, when the battery
would get like 33% Perhaps, then it would reboot. It would reboot
and be all kinds of problems. And essentially, we know we now
know that the battery was failing. And the phone decided
then to reboot. So Apple issued an iOS update. And everyone was
fixed. Except everyone's phone was kind of slower, particularly
once the next version of iOS came out. Because their solution
to fixing the battery which was clearly substandard, and in some
people's phones, was to just reduce the power, reduce the
processing power of the phone and say hey, there you go your
fix. Well, essentially you went back to an iPhone for power.
Yeah. Which is, which is that very effectively used each time
a new the new Oh, you want the new phone with a new iOS? Your
old phone is just not gonna cut it. It's not gonna run. It's not
gonna it's gonna run slow making you believe you need to get a
new phone. Yeah, yeah. Well,
shocker to anybody.
That Apple did this on purpose. Yeah, I'm a little shocked by
it. Yeah. Okay, I'm not surprised that it's happening.
But Apple, you'd think that they would be a little more. What's
the word?
Ethical? Like the chickens. Yeah, outdoors. Who would die
iron.
You don't find this to be an outrage that they did. They did
this. Well,
I never owned an iPhone. Personally, I've always been
with the androids. Yeah. And I'm not outraged because I kept that
makes sense to me. What the heck, I'm giving you the
outrage. You're gonna hear my outrage about Apple phones. And
I always like to give people bad time about it. Yeah, always
good. You know, anyone who has an iPhone, I always say the same
thing to me say, oh, yeah, the guy's having problems with so
I'll just just Yeah, yeah, we'll just take the battery out and
it'll reboot. It'll be in perfect shape. Just do that.
Yeah, exactly. Although Samsung now is suffering from the same
problem, but at least you can change. Oh, you can't change the
battery. And the new
ones. You can't take the back off. I had dinner. My old
clunker the old Nexus galaxy that I have you can do back pops
right off and change the battery. Put a new one in our
better battery. You can buy a better battery on Amazon. Stick
that in there. You're in good shape.
Yeah. Yeah, I can't wait. I'm waiting for the Microsoft
Surface Phone. I'm ready.
Well, if they're in this they're idiots. It's got to be in the
pipeline.
They are so counter-culture. I'm expecting they'll actually do
it. Yeah, well, I hope we have. This is a fun report. I think
this was this may be TMZ So they have the Hall of Presidents of
Disneyland. Yeah, with the new Trump. Yeah. And the whole of
presidents. If you've never been to Disneyland, it's you have to
see at least once it's animatronics.
Yes, it's actually worth what it is. You know, it's a little
lecture about the presidency and the history and it's yeah, it's
corny. It's in a big theater and all these guys, it's corny as
in these days of movies, where you know, you have robots that
are fantastic in the movie, and they could do all kinds of cool
stuff. When you see an actual they call it animatronics. When
you see an actual robot that Disney is saying, Hey, this is
our state of the art manage shit and the Trump thing that trumps
its, it doesn't even look like him.
It's Robo Trump, the Justice failed animatronic president and
it's getting lots of reaction.
Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear
the robot made its debut Monday at the Hall of Presidents
attraction in Disney World
is a privilege to serve as the President of the United States.
From a distance the robot can pass for the president. His
jacket is unbuttoned, just like the real deal, and his hands
movements are spot on. Disney says they use the latest
technology to enable more
color. Oh, no. Did you see this thing? Yeah, his hand movements
are not spot on.
No, and neither does he look like trouble.
That's, that's coming next year we'll
deal and his hands movements are spot on. Disney says they use
the latest technology to enable more lifelike movements. And
President Trump actually recorded the dialogue
to stand here among so many great leaders of our past and to
work on behalf of the American people.
But look closer, and you'll see there's little resemblance to
the commander in chief. Not even close goes one tweet. Some say
Robo Trump looks more like actor Jon Voight or the late Lloyd
Bridges. Or worse Chucky, the creepy doll that comes to life
in the horror movie child's play. Someone even thinks it
looks like a cross between Trump and Hillary Clinton. It kind of
looks like they were already making a Hillary then heard the
news and had to change it to a Trump
that I think that is it
worth the price of admission listening to that comma, because
I wouldn't have thought of that. But that's what it is.
Beautiful. Yeah,
they had Hillary all set up and good to go. And it's probably
her hand movements. I didn't even I didn't even think to go
look. But this is their state of the art. That's your state of
the art. It's horrible. Yeah, I mean, it was the thing that you
know, when I was a kid you going like, okay, and then as a
teenager, like
I should go stone. Yeah, yeah, going to that stone would be the
best best way to go. I agree.
Hey, I got one more a hate to hate Trump clip. This is
regarding the Russia investigation, which we haven't
touched on today. Because what do we have we have secret? These
McCade and stroke. Who I still am not sure aren't the same guy.
The are struck struck stroke struck, struck, struck struck
scrotum. They're they're being interviewed behind closed doors.
Yeah, there's no transparency in this. Terrible is the FBI. Yeah.
What can be so classified that he can't just answer these
questions in public and say, well, that's classified. I can't
answer.
Dress or maybe
Clapper was on CNN. What does he do in these days is he just uh,
he was a good gig is one of these analysts, but they won't
give it to him because he's just too dull. Well,
he tried to spice it up a bit. You were the president speech
today, he calls out Russia and China describes them as rival
powers, rival powers to the US but also says he wants to build
a great partnership with them and then had all this friendly
stuff to say about his phone calls with Vladimir Putin this
week. Is that a contradictory message?
Well, it is to me, I think this past weekend is illustrative of
what a great case officer Vladimir Putin is. He knows how
to handle an asset. And that's what he's doing with the
President.
You're saying that Russia is handling President Trump as an
asset? That's,
that seems to be the that's the appearance to me. So, you know,
we've shared intelligence with the Russians. For a long time
we've we've always done that all of my experience with them has
been pretty much a one way street, where we provide them
intelligence and we don't get much back.
I just want to be clear here though. You're saying that
Russia is treating the president United States as an asset I'm
saying this figuratively,
I think, okay. Or Putin's background? He's a KGB officer.
That's what they do. They recruit assets. And I think some
of that had experience and instincts of Putin has come into
play here. And his managing a pretty important account for him
if I could use that term with with our president,
this guy is an idiot. That is slander. That's very
disrespectful for a guy that was that high up in the government.
Well, it's very disrespect. He's a liar. MSNBC will be on the
phone tomorrow. Let's hire this guy
is a liar. Just a liar. We know he lied. He lied. He lied to
Congress in jail. He lied.
It's where'd you get that? CNBC?
No, that's CNN, CNN. That was a cost of Jim Acosta.
Oh, because yeah, he that's his game. See, I only have one left,
and then I'm done. Okay, man, I got a couple I can play but only
see what you
got. Let's see if it pans out in anything.
Well, I got the Muller Muller thing. Muller,
is it Muller Muller, or as we say in Texas, Miller. I never
heard Miller, you know, in Texas, Muller is pronounced
Miller. Well, that's
interesting to me. No, no, really. That's good. Let's do
this one. This is the Muller fire or not fire. The Don Jr.
Kind of a side story here
to the developing headline late today on Capitol Hill, the
warning from the Senate floor involving the president and any
talk of firing Robert Muller, the top Democrat on the Senate
Intelligence Committee issuing a strong defense of Special
Counsel Robert Muller, against critics trying to shut down the
Russia investigation. And after recently being questioned for
nine hours Donald Trump Jr. Now suggesting there is a conspiracy
against his father. Here's ABC correspondent Pierre Thomas.
Tonight.
Tonight that warning from the top Democratic senator
investigating allegations of Russian collusion,
firing Mr. Muller, or any other of the top brass involved in
this investigation would not only call into question this
administration's commitment to the truth, but also to our most
basic concept, rule of law
Warner responding to mounting criticism of Special Counsel Bob
Muller, from some congressional Republicans.
I call on my Republican colleagues to join me in calling
for the firing of Bob Muller. And look, it's time for Muller
to put up or shut up.
President Trump asked this week if he's considering firing
Muller. No, I'm not. What else?
What are you surprised,
but on Tuesday, just days after Donald Trump Jr. spent more than
nine hours behind closed doors with congressional
investigators, the president's son openly talking about a
conspiracy against his father.
There is and there are people at the highest levels of government
that don't want to let America be America.
Pierre Thomas with us tonight from Washington and Pierre, we
heard President Trump say he's not firing Muller. So how does
Senator Warner explain his concern they're late today on
the Senate floor.
David Senator Warner says the President's track record is his
concern he puts on his college did not expect the President to
fire former FBI Director James Comey either
that was such a Twitter meme. Like, oh, I'm just gonna fire
Muller. Muller. He's gonna fire him. It came from nowhere. It
was fantasy fantasy.
Yes. It just got out of the blue. He's never had any
indication he's gonna fire me. Maybe
he could fire. He's not going to because the fall guy I'm just
going to reiterate is Jared. Jared is going to be
the fall guy. Jared could be the full guy and now you're right in
there. Good. Get him out of the out of the Oval Office Finally.
Might be a scheme.
Yeah, and with as Jared goes, so goes Ivanka. And I like Ivanka.
I like I like her doing, you know, like, First Lady type
stuff. That's okay. Yeah, I don't think we've never really
had a presidential daughter. I don't think while the President
was in office, because of course, the Kennedys, you know,
went on to do all kinds of great things. To them. Yeah, but no,
but they didn't do anything. They weren't out there.
They weren't hanging around doing policy. No. I don't know
of any. There may have been some of the 1800s I don't know.
What is this? Your copter story?
Yes, I was. I thought you'd be attracted to that. We'll play
that then. I'm done. Okay. Oh, Ma.
Now, where did it go? I just Oh, here it is. Self drive. Okay.
You just need setup.
No, just play. fighting wars may soon change forever. DAVID
MARTIN got to see a military helicopter that doesn't need a
pilot in the cockpits or on the ground.
The Huey helicopter has been around since Vietnam. But this
one could be the start of a revolution. It's spying itself.
That pilot in the cockpit is just a safety observer, keeping
his hands close to but Not on the control. The person telling
me he loved what to do was Marine Sergeant Deonte Jones.
Hilo comes in and request permission to land I would give
him permission to land when it's ready to lease. Or when I unload
all the stuff that I need, it'll ask me the permission to lease
I'll give permission to leave. And it's really just that
simple.
Sergeant Jones is not flying the healer. He has no joystick to
pilot it by remote control. Just a tablet to issue basic
instructions. no prior experience required
15 minutes training with the tablet, anybody can pick it up.
It's fairly easy. The Office of
Naval Research which developed the technology says it's placing
a large bet that autonomous aircraft can take the place of
humans. This is the flight computer that turns this
helicopter into a self flying aircraft took five years and $98
million to develop and it can be installed on any helicopter.
That pod on the nose is constantly scanning for
obstacles, warning the computer of hard to see hazards like
power lights. The initial concept is to use cell flying
helos to deliver supplies to Marines in the field. Bring up
pilots for other missions. This Vietnam era Huey will fly into
the future when it starts training with Marines in
California. This spring. Martin, CBS News Quantico goodwill
as a holder of a rotary aircraft license. This is stupid. Why?
Because, yes, you can have the thing take off and you know, in
optimum circumstances, optimum conditions, I don't believe
there is a computer that a flight computer that can really

a couple of land take off buttons on a laptop, or now
laptop and a tablet. What happens if the tablets captured
by the enemy?
Yeah, there's a lot of different issues there. By just what are

technology we just heard is what the IRS Robo Trump. So how is
that was robots fly the helicopter? Maybe a point for
that. I mean, flying a helicopter is like ballet. It is
very sensitive, very small inputs and the things happen.
winds change. I mean, they they can't even get a car to drive
right without hitting people and motorcycles. And God knows what
else running red lights running red lights. I'm sorry, I Why?
Why? Why
not? I'm not taking one guy off the field. Why? Why save money?
Let's add let's put up $100,000 device into the more I don't
even sure it's more than that. But yeah, it's probably a
million dollars.
Exactly. We have to amortize the r&d.
