3:59 we could move up if we make america great again yeah well we should all be wearing those hats

4:06 the hat will do it because what that's all you need is the hat what did we learn man what did

4:11 we learn about ourselves this past week we learned that if you see a white dude in a in a

4:17 MAGA hat, everybody thinks racist, a-hole, jackass.

4:23 Yeah.

4:24 That's really quite incredible.

4:26 That's the news to me.

4:27 Yeah.

4:28 That is really something.

4:31 I saw one guy's Twitter feed.

4:34 It said, red hat equals racist.

4:37 Well, let's listen to Angela Rye, former gopher for the...

4:42 Well, wait.

4:42 Before we do this, let's give the background to what we're talking about.

4:46 Okay.

4:47 Although I think the whole world might know this.

4:49 No, maybe not.

4:50 It's possible that it would not.

4:52 I'm waiting for you to give the background.

4:54 You were going to give the background.

4:56 You're doing the piece.

4:58 The background is a piece of video went viral on Twitter, that part to be discussed in a little bit.

5:06 And it was of a bunch of kids, Catholic kids from Kentucky.

5:11 So we got white, Catholic, South, and a couple of them were wearing red MAGA hats, Make America Great Again hats.

5:19 And they were waiting for their bus after they attended the pro-life march.

5:23 There were pro-choice and pro-life marches all about abortion.

5:26 And what we saw on video was these guys surrounding an American Indian, which is how they prefer to be called.

5:37 There seems to be some confusion in the M5M.

5:40 American Indian is the preferred way to identify them, who was banging his drum and it looked like they were intimidating him and smirking at him, which is, as we know, a George Orwell 1984 face crime is what he called that.

5:56 So his face crime was taking place.

5:58 And for some reason, Twitter has become the editor in chief for the cable news, which then quickly spilled over into all news.

6:07 and it was just like everyone was freaking out and i gotta tell you i i looked at it and i went

6:12 oh wow but i also at the same time went why is this news you know why is this now top you know

6:19 i know the answer why of course is orange man bad yeah but wow and then it quickly turned out to be

6:27 just a piece of videotape without context and what was really going on and um the mainstream

6:34 a lot of people apologized said oh wow man i'm sorry i tweeted all these horrible things about

6:40 these a-holes because a lot of blue check marks on twitter were saying pretty you know hateful

6:46 harmful thing well harmful i can't say that but hateful things and calling for them to be docks

6:51 which they were and call them to be thrown in wood chippers and all kinds of stuff yeah and

6:57 that outrage uh quickly had to turn to apologies actually the one that the person who has most

7:04 disappointed in because you could think

7:06 alright I thought it too like wow these guys are

7:08 dicks I don't know if racist

7:10 came to mind right away but just dicks

7:12 teenage dicks

7:13 Kara Swisher

7:15 she's vile she's really

7:18 really really vile and her apology

7:20 was just half-hearted

7:22 like oh well

7:23 just I lost

7:26 she was caught up in the other one before that

7:28 right yeah I've lost respect

7:30 for her well I mean if she's gonna jump

7:32 on every thing that that's the problem that's not proven but then just get your photoshop out

7:39 people we're gonna have some fun so instead of really apologizing the mainstream was kind of

7:45 looking for ways out and you know there's other stuff that surfaced the second time in a row

7:50 yeah each time the day after our show yeah we're ramped up and then ramped down like within 24

7:56 hours because of the it's it's a borderline hoax well um cnn as reported by or actually

8:04 mentioned by npr in this just this last little bit of a 45 minute conversation about it said this

8:12 well robbie suave associate editor at reason.com thank you so very much and we've got a little bit

8:17 of news here that uh native american elder nate nathan phillips says he will meet with students

8:21 at Covington Catholic High School.

8:23 So that's just happening.

8:24 And by the way, Twitter, according to CNN's reporting,

8:27 Twitter has also suspended the original Twitter account

8:31 that helped this video go viral.

8:33 It looks like it was being amplified

8:36 by a network of other anonymous accounts.

8:39 And one analyst says,

8:41 we're all conditioned to react and engage

8:42 or deny in specific ways.

8:44 And we all did.

8:44 I'm Meghna Chakrabarty.

8:45 This is On Point.

8:47 So basically say, you know,

8:50 we can always blame it on the russians for trying to sow discord discord because russian bots they

8:57 didn't say russian but that's coming oh they amplified it and we fell for it and the news is

9:02 anything but culpable but of course they are because that is what the machine is we've looked

9:07 at this many times the machine is something trends on twitter journos lib joes just sitting around

9:13 all day oh there's something going on there hey can i use your video on the soft and then before

9:20 you know it time code yeah outrage outrage ensues now what's interesting is that after they got over

9:28 their non-apology the m5m is just sitting around going like well there are some real issues and

9:33 you know let's just be honest you know you see red hats it's you know you know that's just a sign of

9:38 racist so here's angela rye a former gopher for the congressional black caucus well and not only

9:44 is it hard to believe it's hard to accept i wish that for one moment right we can talk about what

9:50 we see because people are talking about well you know what is happening right now as a result of

9:53 what happened in this particular incident is our varying perspectives and i think that's such a

9:58 powerful point our varying perspectives okay like forget donald trump for a moment hold on a second

10:05 How is the very how does when she says she says that's a powerful point, the very varying perspectives are powerful.

10:14 How is that a point? How is that a powerful point?

10:19 A point is where you make you just made a point.

10:22 But just varying perspectives is not a point.

10:25 It's a thing. It is our varying perspectives.

10:28 And I think that's such a powerful point.

10:30 like forget donald trump for a moment and just think about the symbol of that red hat when i

10:36 see the make america great again hat now chris i am triggered i'm so triggered andre i think in a

10:42 lot of ways our friendship has been compromised by the fact that you continue to support this man

10:46 the one thing i will say to you to be absolutely fair is more than anybody else that i know on this

10:52 network you will regularly take donald trump to task i don't agree with you on this last point

10:57 But this Make America Great Again hat is just as maddening and frustrating and triggering for me to look at as a KKK hood.

11:05 Like, that is the type of thing that his policies represent.

11:09 And until we can have common ground and understanding about that, that it's that triggering, we're going to continue to have problems.

11:15 So you've got to untrigger me.

11:16 Otherwise, you can't wear the hat because I'm triggered.

11:18 I'm triggered.

11:19 Triggered.

11:22 Wow.

11:24 It is wow, because what has happened here is the media has really helped shape this vision that...

11:33 Oh, the media is responsible for the whole thing.

11:35 It's really well done, by the way.

11:38 Golf claps.

11:39 Well, I don't know that they meant to do it the way they did, but...

11:42 I think it's a better outcome than they ever could have expected.

11:45 That I agree with.

11:46 but man now you i mean and there's other now you really gotta look at all sides of everything

11:54 yeah well i don't want to do it now we'll get into aoc later you know of course went viral

12:00 with her being an idiot so everyone said about only 12 years left to live but you know if you

12:07 take things out of context without what is said before and after then you kind of miss what's

12:11 going on and that's really our show has been about this but it's gotten very difficult

12:17 i fell for this i fell for these kids that not in a good way i fell for like oh man i wasn't

12:25 thinking racist or just just jagoffs yeah what else why are they wearing the hats that's too bad

12:31 and there you have it red is racist anymore red is racist so now when you go to the great wall of

12:40 china and you buy the great wall caps that are sold that vending stand souvenir shops that's

12:48 everywhere up and down the uh great wall everywhere you go and it's a big red hat it's got a little

12:54 bigger brim than the trump hat yeah and it says great wall or china or something on it but it's

13:00 a red hat now it's going to be true the china great wall china hat is going to be triggering

13:06 people because it's racist it's because red walls are racist so they're trying to now they're just

13:12 association thing again we've got red red hat red states yes republican and orange man bad that's

13:21 right a derivative of red association to make people just resist luckily you know that not

13:27 everybody thinks that republicans have anything to do with the color red but a lot of people do

13:32 Yeah, it's just very sad that the news, what they call news media, is doing this.

13:42 They're lazy.

13:44 It's all they do.

13:47 I guess it's beyond lazy.

13:48 It's not lazy.

13:48 Look at a Twitter feed.

13:50 It's what the job has become.

13:51 Yeah, pretty much.

13:53 Who's watching the Twitter feed?

13:56 Anything happen?

13:56 I know, man.

13:58 I'm following all my usuals.

14:01 yeah well i didn't fall for it you what did you see when you first saw it i just didn't pay any

14:08 attention to it i ignored it looked like another piece of crap that i didn't want to get involved

14:12 with yeah so i had the basic same feet although i really felt like oh geez but at the same time

14:19 it's like who cares it's like surprise surprise there are a-holes in the world why is this all

14:24 over the place and that that's the thing that that they should be embarrassed about

14:28 well there's no that's a thing they should be embarrassed about but also it doesn't matter

14:34 because in a year from now you will hear someone on the news talking about the native native indian

14:41 man vietnam vet who was hounded by those mega hat kids no one will know this is true what you said

14:48 that's the that's the sick part what you just said yep is absolutely true they're gonna make

14:53 it into reality we had um over the weekend uh one of tina's friends from florida who you would know

15:00 as the hill bot from florida uh when we were down there and this is what a year and a half ago i

15:05 think and i got into a big argument with her maybe it was two years ago yeah so she she came to stay

15:15 i gotta tell you she is so tired of everything and she is i mean she posts last time i was on

15:21 facebook almost a year ago she would drive by mar-a-lago you know do a selfie flipping off

15:26 mar-a-lago i mean this kind of hill bot wow yeah oh yeah how juvenile in fact but she was so open

15:34 to talking with me about stuff and so willing to learn because i could tell she's really really

15:38 tired yes because she's confused because the system of i don't know lies and propaganda let's

15:45 say uh by generated by the mainstream media is short circuits people it's just because it doesn't

15:50 make sense when you absorb enough of it you you you're you're confused because this love it doesn't

15:58 make sense at all and she and she's very smart so she i think she um unconsciously you think you

16:04 got it you think you got it there subconsciously um she knows that something's let me just tell

16:10 you how you can identify a true hillbot this only works for women and i tried it out and i was right

16:15 what you got to say is let me ask you do you watch rachel maddow and you know the answer is like oh

16:22 yes and before they can say i love rachel you just say hey if you were a lesbian and the first

16:29 thing says i'd do her i'd marry her that's the true hillbot it's universal yes yes yes it's

16:36 universal the uh the the obots in austin used to say that too um anyway i asked her i said you know

16:44 so she had only seen the picture and hadn't heard that it was fake and because you know she's just

16:50 keyed into her own sources i guess so there's there's an example of someone who might not have

16:56 known that uh you know because this passes by in 48 hours there's something else going on we forget

17:01 about it but for her it would have stayed that way and i said when you saw the picture what'd

17:05 you think bunch of a-holes and said let me let me guess when you heard they were catholic she said

17:10 wow that's really sad you said that and immediate my first response was oh horrible you know crazy

17:20 religious racist a-holes and she caught herself anyway for me it was it was really encouraging

17:28 that there are some people who are just so tired of it so burnt out from what what the system is

17:34 doing to them that they seem to be willing to to listen and learn some of them might come out of

17:38 But the problem is there's a good study, one of the best books on propaganda.

17:42 It's not about how to do it or even how it works necessarily, but the mechanism of cocooning that is required.

17:51 This is an old book.

17:52 It's written by the sociologist, the French sociologist Jacques Ellul.

17:57 And Jacques Ellul, one of his great books, is called Propaganda.

18:01 And if anyone can get a copy of it, it was a major book when it came out.

18:07 Do you know that this is one of the first No Agenda books discussed on the show?

18:11 It could be.

18:13 Like 10, 11 years ago?

18:15 Yeah.

18:17 We kind of forgot about it, but it's a classic.

18:19 Well, it's a good time to remind people.

18:20 Yes, indeed.

18:21 Anyway, so what he asserts in the book, among other things, it's a great book to read.

18:27 It's well written, and it's got a style that is very singular to this guy.

18:33 He really starts bringing things together at the end.

18:35 It gets very exciting.

18:36 It's almost like reading a chase scene in a movie script.

18:40 Anyway, he asserts that the only way it works at all is that you have to have people in – they have to be in isolation.

18:50 The best example of a situation where propaganda would work very well and people would just believe whatever you tell them is North Korea.

18:57 Right.

18:58 Because they don't really have any other sources of information.

19:02 And generally speaking, he was, I think, hinting that in Western society, we don't really have that problem because we have all these different sources.

19:08 But as we've witnessed during the 10 years of this show, 11, we've witnessed that's not true anymore because the people because thanks to the Internet and the idea, well, I'm only going to give you the news you want to hear.

19:21 Right. That notion, which was right at the beginning of the Internet, we're only going to give you the news you want, only the stuff you're interested in.

19:30 That is the process that began the process of isolating people.

19:34 So they're only hearing in their own little group.

19:36 They hear only the whatever their red group or blue group or whatever group it is.

19:41 It listens to the right wing has been shown to have a little more leeway of maybe going out and watching Rachel Maddow, for example, mostly so they can complain.

19:54 But it's really it's the algos that do it, of course.

19:57 They'll let. Yes, yes, yeah, it is algos.

20:00 And but the left doesn't do that. And you talk to them. They read the New York Times. They listen to NBC, CNBC, CNN. And you hear it when we when they're doing interviews of men on the street.

20:14 the woman said well i don't like any of this that's going on what's your source of news

20:18 new york times washington post uh nbc uh cnn and then that's it oh i would never watch fox

20:26 oh i would never listen to rush limbaugh i would never how can you i won't even watch

20:33 the president's speech yeah exactly that kind of stuff you know it was fun because i laid my north

20:39 korea stuff on her uh because you know i had some i had some some good backup i say well you know

20:44 who my uncle is and you know and here's what he told me about north korea and how many times he's

20:49 been there and how they just want they don't want armistice they want to be a you know the end of

20:54 the war with south korea just please you know let them be a full country and then don's quote which

20:59 was dennis rodman knows more about north korea than anyone in the administration which was the

21:03 administration at the time and and i and i gave that all to him so she's like oh wow

21:09 mm-hmm i said yes it because she has in his mind in her mind only and she and even though she would

21:16 be uh understand and and and had and her views were changing she could not stop herself from

21:23 calling him that idiot or the moron or the moronic orange trump i mean that just kept slipping out

21:29 it was very very interesting thank goodness because it could have been a very bad weekend

21:35 Oh, you're trying to save the weekend.

21:37 Uh, no, it's, uh, I like her.

21:39 It's just, you know, she's a little...

21:42 Is she hot?

21:42 Mm-mm.

21:44 She's a New York Jew.

21:46 Uh-huh.

21:47 That has nothing to do with being hot, but...

21:49 I won't even bother.

21:50 I don't usually ask that, but you always do that to me,

21:53 so I thought I'd do it to you,

21:54 considering she's a friend of your wife,

21:55 or would be, will be wife.

21:57 Let's put it this way.

21:58 She says she gives mediocre blowjobs.

22:00 She tells...

22:01 This is a dinner table, table conversation.

22:04 She's pretty cool.

22:05 Long story.

22:09 Anyway, she's cool.

22:11 She's cool.

22:12 But she remembered because she had listened to the show after I met her last time.

22:15 She said, you called me a hill bot.

22:16 But you are.

22:17 I said, yeah, I am.

22:18 Oh, okay.

22:19 So just admitting it was good.

22:21 Yeah, I guess.

22:24 She'll be back in her cocoon, and that'll be the end of it.

22:27 It's not going to work.

22:28 Well, if you come to the wedding, she's going to be there.

22:31 You can introduce me as the hill bot from Florida.

22:34 okay she'll buy that right away she knows who you are you're famous i'm famous

22:41 onward yes so the president for the red hat yes the president uh just to get some of this

22:48 clips about that about what the red hat kid i don't need it we've been killed with clips

22:54 it's just the the for me the importance is red is racist that symbol is racist and media is

23:04 off the rocker and liars and can't even apologize and oh by the way there will be some lawsuits

23:10 oh yeah the kids that one kid in particular who was taking the task yep by one of the women on

23:18 the today show oh he's got it they're gonna did you know their money did you know that uh when

23:25 you're a federal employee certainly uh representatives they can say whatever they want

23:31 about you to you in the media anywhere they want and they have complete immunity

23:37 i believe i know that yeah it was like some act from 70s or something from being

23:42 ground up in court yeah it's a practical law it is a practical law but there should be some limits

23:50 somewhere well that's not gonna i don't think that'll ever happen most of the guys are the

23:55 limits are that if you're that bad that you'd get sued to death because you're you're way beyond

24:00 the lips you're gonna get voted out yeah except in berkeley so um the president took so the

24:09 president took so the president took the high road this morning they said okay nancy i'll do

24:19 the state of the union when the government is open again which is kind of unexpected i like that

24:25 tactic well he must be expecting the government to be open again pretty soon i think it will be

24:32 and last night i've been busy i was uh on my way to a dinner with a former new york banker

24:38 and uh on i don't know if it was lbj or whatever it was uh will hurd came on and he was talking

24:48 about and he's a republican uh republican congressman from texas and he he's the he

24:56 claims to be i don't know his wikipedia page says that he's a former cia covert operative

25:02 and he's that guy and he loves talking about himself it's i think part of that's in this

25:07 clip and i couldn't get the clip uh from lbj and i looked everywhere and it was just i guess there

25:12 was no recording i was in the car so i couldn't have recorded it but he said something about how

25:16 this would happen would be something would be passed in the senate and then something else would

25:23 have to pass in the house upon condition that nancy pelosi would bring the senate bill to the floor

25:28 and then heard said they have enough votes i mean i wish i had the clip so i'm just butchering it

25:36 i'm sure but he sounded very confident that there was going to be this uh uh this process partly

25:43 just allegedly you know the a protocol how things work and also because it has to end and

25:50 let's see where is he here he is on fox with dana perino it was just before the interview that i

25:59 heard uh let me see uh is this it damn i set that up so nicely and where the hell is my well this

26:10 The longer the setup, the bigger the flop.

26:12 Well, I don't know if this is the clip that I was thinking of, but this is one of them.

26:16 I would love to lay a fiber optic cable from sea to shining sea.

26:21 Now, this is important because Will Hurd is also, after he left the service, he became a Silicon Valley guy.

26:27 And so he's very deep with Silicon Valley.

26:30 Sure.

26:31 And he, I don't know.

26:32 They want to cash in on this.

26:33 Well, of course, because if you have an electronic wall, which is what he's going for here.

26:40 Yeah, until somebody throws off the switch and the hordes come running in.

26:43 Anyway, go on.

26:45 I'm sorry.

26:45 Well, if you have the electronic wall, it's not just a thing of concrete that just stands there.

26:51 No, it needs upgrades and updates and maintenance plan, and it's perfect.

26:58 And now he's talking about fiber optic from sea to shining sea, and your point is well made.

27:03 One fiber cut, and you have nothing from sea to shining sea.

27:07 Okay.

27:07 But it's an interesting idea.

27:09 Listen to what he says.

27:10 I would love to lay a fiber optic cable from sea to shining sea.

27:15 It's either sensing tools that can be used off of a fiber optic cable.

27:20 And then guess what?

27:21 Some of the rural communities along the border that don't have access to really high-speed Internet would be able to tap into.

27:28 And you could allow kids in schools in the city of Presidio to have access to high-speed Internet.

27:34 So this would be an underground fiber optic wall.

27:37 It's one tool, right?

27:39 A fiber optic sensing can help you identify somebody coming across the border.

27:43 I don't hear you saying wall.

27:45 So I just want to be really clear.

27:46 You don't think a wall is the solution here, as the president does?

27:50 Well, a wall from sea to shining sea is the most expensive and least effective way to do border security.

27:56 You went 200 miles.

27:57 A physical barrier in some places does make sense, whether it's urban to urban contact, right?

28:02 But it's not along all 2,000 miles of the border.

28:07 And there's probably only a handful of miles where something like that is needed.

28:12 Yeah, I guess I didn't clip that one particular thing where he he went into this a little, you know, went into his background a little bit deeper.

28:20 But I think we'll see a combo deal.

28:23 You'll see wall. You'll see he's got Trump has got to give in to Silicon Valley a little bit.

28:29 He's got to. And it makes sense.

28:32 And I love this. Well, if you string this fiber in the desert.

28:37 then kids can have fast internet.

28:39 Not quite sure how that works.

28:41 Are they talking about the children of Gila Monster?

28:45 I don't know.

28:47 I don't know.

28:47 But I think you're...

28:50 Well, here I have a clip from PBS.

28:52 It's kind of in the same direction.

28:53 I want to play it.

28:54 This is Pelosi's shutdown.

28:56 Oh, yes.

28:57 When I wrote to him the second time to say,

28:59 since government is shut down,

29:01 let's work together on a mutually agreeable date

29:05 and we can welcome you to the Capitol to get rid of the State of the Union address.

29:09 The government is still shut down. I still make the offer.

29:14 The State of the Union speech has been canceled by Nancy Pelosi

29:19 because she doesn't want to hear the truth.

29:20 She doesn't want the American public to hear what's going on.

29:25 And she's afraid of the truth.

29:28 And the super-left Democrats, the radical Democrats, what's going on in that party is shocking.

29:35 JUDY WOODRUFF: Amid the sparring over the State of the Union, there were faint signs

29:39 of possible movement on ending the shutdown.

29:42 Several top House Democrats suggested that they might offer up to $5.7 billion for border

29:49 security, but not for a wall.

29:51 The number three House Democrat, James Clyburn, said the money would pay for immigration judges,

29:57 border agents and technology.

29:58 I think that it can be done using the figure that the president has put on the table.

30:08 If his $5.7 billion is about border security, then we see ourselves fulfilling that request, only doing what I like to call using a smart wall.

30:23 Smart wall.

30:26 this guy doesn't know how to turn a computer on a smart wall but he's talking about a smart wall

30:33 yeah well that's what herd is pushing for sure and somebody dropped that term into the public

30:39 domain yeah smart smart wall some some marketing we need a different we need a different we need

30:45 a different we need like eye wall uh eye wall or rule wll you know drop a drop a consonant we need

30:53 something better than smart wall i think smart wall how about e-wall e-wall e-wall e-wall

31:00 sounds like a somebody's how about electric mr e-walls here electrified wall e-wall

31:08 wall of death that now you're talking wall of death that's the one you know austin is a very

31:15 odd place in in texas it being such a perceived red state this is a very liberal here uh beto

31:24 signs everywhere beto on cars everywhere still up oh yeah the signs are up the cars have the

31:31 bumper stickers everyone see there's new bumper stickers colorful bumper stickers now beto

31:35 just say new bumper stickers yeah i think i saw a couple even after the guy already lost

31:40 yeah bringing out more stickers yeah so obviously if you talk to anyone here in austin about the

31:46 wall they're um you know it's uh you you can't have a wall it's racist it's immoral this a-hole

31:56 orange man who wants this wall with live music good food and nightlife there's lots to bring

32:02 people to the red river cultural district but there's one sliver of the street where the city

32:06 wants to keep people out. Why do people want to come out here if that's the stuff that they have

32:11 to deal with? Dave Machinist is part owner of the Empire Control Room. His venue backs up to this

32:16 alley, a small stretch between Beer Land and the Sidewinder that's been a challenge for the

32:21 community. You can see people dealing drugs, exchanging drugs for money. You can see fighting,

32:26 people having sex, people defecating. I mean, it's terrible. It's a third world country back there.

32:30 When police tried to fix the issue with lights, city staff said it made the problem worse.

32:36 and luke acres of hoboken pie had a front row seat that only way needs to be shut down it should

32:41 have been shut down over five years ago whenever we first started complaining about it i because

32:45 it is the head of the drug and prostitution ring here in austin place so earlier this week the city

32:50 decided on plans for a fence on either end of the alley it'll be at least 10 feet tall and the

32:56 businesses on either side will have access a city spokesperson told us it's become a public safety

33:02 concern there you go austin does not want a wall to stop illegal entry into the country but they

33:10 sure want one in the alley they want a wall alley yes 10 feet high oh my that is clip of the day for

33:18 me uh hypocrites all of them i tell you hypocrites that's a great clip there's a bunch of yeah that's

33:30 there's your austin for you i mean that's the same thing let's go to arizona find out what

33:34 they're thinking there about the wall president trump battles it out for his funding for the

33:39 border wall and arizona lawmakers unique idea to raise funds right here in our state is now

33:44 making national headlines yeah so what do you think of this we're talking about arizona house

33:48 bill 2444 from representative gail griffin she's a republican from hereford and it would require

33:56 electronics manufacturers to install porn blocking software on all phones computers or

34:02 tablets and the only way to unblock it paying a one-time fee of at least 20 bucks that money

34:09 would be used for several purposes the biggest being border security right now the bill has not

34:14 been scheduled for any committee hearings but it is getting a lot of attention vote these people

34:20 out of office how does this jive with net neutrality none of it jives with net neutrality

34:28 yeah oh yeah the algos will be able to detect what's porn no what could possibly go wrong

34:34 that's why they vote these people out they're stupid yes not stupid not stupid for not knowing

34:41 what they're talking about but for doing that they're stupid don't yeah let's see what other

34:49 heartstrings can we tug? Oh, yes.

34:52 Don Lamon.

34:53 Overnight sensation.

34:55 Your favorite. Yes, Don.

34:58 Yes. He, of course,

35:00 understands the plight

35:01 of the 800,000

35:04 who are furloughed and

35:05 standing in food lines.

35:07 And it just gets worse from there,

35:10 Don. A little bit of pain.

35:11 Somebody will say that when the repo man comes.

35:13 This is a little bit of pain. Can you wait

35:16 to take my car? A little bit of pain.

35:18 wonder how the men and women who protect this president the secret service how they feel about

35:22 that take a look at this these special challenge coins being distributed to eight to agents and to

35:28 their families pretty clearly expressing their frustration with the words on the flip side don't

35:33 worry you'll get back pay you know who loves a challenge coin that's the president he keeps a

35:40 bunch of them in the oval office wonder if he'll add this newest one to that collection i sure want

35:45 one i do get me one of those challenge coins those are great sounds fantastic that's funny

35:52 very very good that doesn't he does he does it's a whole uh a whole stand filled with the challenge

35:58 coins well i've got um an interesting uh very interesting another piece on the shutdown by that

36:09 woman else indoor who is this that's the pbs uh black woman oh yes yes yes yes the gwen the woman

36:18 who can never fill gwen's shoes of course not who can right yeah who knew someone on twitter

36:27 said huh finally the no agenda show comes clean about gwen eiffel it's like i think we've said

36:34 this a couple of times like we're really sad she's gone dead gone because yeah turns out she

36:41 was talking about for over a year yeah she kind of kept that whole operation in line yeah she was

36:46 the pro yeah which is a problem when they don't have one anymore and there's just a bunch of

36:52 millennials uh you play this analysis it's kind of interesting well the president doesn't want

36:58 to look weak and he doesn't want to look like he's caving into democrats today he called democrats

37:02 dangerous and said that they're being radicalized and that they can't be trusted with border

37:07 security. He also used what some people saw as loaded language when talking about Speaker Nancy

37:12 Pelosi. He said that Nancy Pelosi is dominating Chuck Schumer. That would be, of course, Senator

37:17 Chuck Schumer, and that Chuck Schumer is a puppet of Nancy Pelosi. Now, we see the president kind

37:22 of scrambling to decide how he's going to deal with Nancy Pelosi and his strategy for her.

37:26 Usually, he's given people nicknames like Crooked Hillary for Hillary Clinton or Lion Ted for Ted

37:31 Cruz. But in this case, he just said, Nancy, who I like to call Nancy. The other thing to note is

37:36 that the president is facing pressure from his own conservative base. There were there was a group of

37:40 conservatives who met today with the president at the White House, and one of them was was the

37:44 president of the Heritage Foundation. Her husband is actually one of the people that's furloughed,

37:49 a federal worker. This is a large think tank based in Washington, D.C. And she told me,

37:53 even though I want my husband to go back to work, I want the president not to blink.

37:59 Yeah, well, because it's not your job.

38:01 Right.

38:01 We had a few complaining letters from someone.

38:03 The reason I wanted to play this, it reminded me of the clip you had where Trump, or no, the earlier clip that I had where Trump says, the reason she's cutting off the State of the Union speech, which is required by the Constitution, by the way.

38:17 Yeah, but it's not a speech that's required.

38:20 You can just send a memo.

38:21 Yeah, you can send an email, a text.

38:23 A tweet.

38:25 This grand – yes, you can – the grandiosity of the State of the Union is not required according to the Constitution.

38:31 Yeah, and it could be done in other ways.

38:32 But the point is that – the point is what I'm trying to – where I'm going is not – it's nothing to do with that.

38:36 It's the fact that he's decided to start going with these propagandistic ideas, and he said in that clip, Nancy doesn't want to hear the truth.

38:46 Yeah, yeah.

38:48 I'm thinking, what?

38:49 Is that the reason?

38:50 Because she doesn't want to hear the truth?

38:52 About the State of the Union, I guess.

38:55 I don't know what – it was just a – he's trying to project an image of Democrats with their hands over their ears.

39:03 Yeah.

39:04 He's going, I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear, I guess, but it's silly.

39:09 There is a – I caught a law coming to the floor.

39:14 It's not even written yet, but it'll be House Resolution 705 to authorize the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration to utilize the security service fee to pay transportation security officers salaries during a lapse in appropriations for the TSA, which is a good idea.

39:32 I mean, the money's still coming in.

39:35 The airlines pay fees for the job that these guys, there is an actual payment for this job.

39:43 That's why some airports have commercial companies doing it, right?

39:47 Before TSA, they were all done by commercial companies.

39:50 So there's fees paid and the idea.

39:52 Who put this in?

39:52 Who put this bill in?

39:53 I'm sure.

39:55 By the time, I think this thing's going to be over in the next week.

39:58 Cato.

39:58 Yeah, I agree.

39:59 I agree.

40:00 And there's going to be some kind of, you know what?

40:04 Smart wall is actually good because it still has the word wall.

40:07 Yeah.

40:10 Which would make everyone kind of happy.

40:12 And that's got to be some wall.

40:13 Everyone agrees on some wall and, you know, the Border Fence Act, which was never funded.

40:19 You know, they're going to work it out.

40:20 It's just what a waste of space and time.

40:24 Just wasting everybody's time, except for the cable news.

40:29 They loved it.

40:31 They got to stay in business.

40:32 I don't know why they have to stay in business.

40:35 They're not doing their jobs, but.

40:36 Yes, they are doing their jobs.

40:39 They're not even giving us enough stuff on the overseas news is really getting pathetic.

40:43 do you want to go there now nothing from these guys you want to go there now overseas well let's

40:48 start with venezuela well i have seen some news about venezuela just that's the only one so let

40:54 me just what i understand happened here is maduro who we kind of predicted in the last show for sure

41:02 we saw it coming down coming down broadway um the cover art of the last show included the guy who's

41:09 He's now usurped Maduro to the Obama wannabe.

41:12 What's his name again?

41:13 Yeah, Guido.

41:14 Guido, yes.

41:16 So there was a vote.

41:18 Guido did not win.

41:19 But then the observers, conveniently including the United States and UN and all the-

41:27 Wait, wait, wait.

41:27 Guido did win.

41:28 No, I thought he didn't win.

41:30 Didn't win what?

41:32 I thought he didn't win the election.

41:33 Guido won the election.

41:35 He's the head of the assembly.

41:36 No, he-

41:37 Hmm.

41:38 Okay.

41:39 i read it differently maduro well no there's another guy who ran against maduro you must be

41:45 thinking about somebody else well let's play these clips and we'll get get to the bottom of it well

41:51 the bottom line is maduro doesn't want to give up the seat that's the bottom line maduro won

41:56 yeah okay so we have you tell me then tell me what's going on because i'm confused

42:02 yeah apparently he did not win the presidential he won he's the the president of the the their

42:08 government but not at the president of the country there's something that he did not win i'm pretty

42:12 sure he didn't run he ran for what he what he ran for he won what he ran for all right

42:18 and they've did just all everybody else i got three reports on the same topic

42:23 from three different angles and i want to play all three of them they're not well they're a little

42:28 longer than they should be but first you have democracy now which is a socialist operation

42:32 as far as they're concerned maduro should be running the place into the ground it's okay by

42:36 them then we have pbs which tries to take kind of a journalistic approach to they don't get

42:42 anywhere then we have the report from cbs cia report that just tells us what's going on now

42:48 can we just say up front that guido if you look at his biography everything's kind of like ho-hum

42:55 until you get to his master's degree at george what is it uh georgetown washington dc yeah he

43:04 is definitely trained by our boys. He's our guy. He's our guy. Yes. Yeah, he's our guy. Let's start

43:10 with Venezuelan update democracy now and listen to what they leave out. The United States is

43:15 continuing to ratchet up pressure on Venezuela in what appears to be part of a coordinated effort

43:20 to remove the Venezuelan president, NicolΓ‘s Maduro, from office. On Tuesday, Vice President

43:25 Mike Pence posted a video message online telling Venezuelan opposition leaders and protesters

43:31 that the U.S. supports their efforts to oust the president.

43:35 Hola. I'm Mike Pence, the vice president of the United States.

43:41 And on behalf of President Donald Trump and all the American people,

43:46 let me express the unwavering support of the United States as you, the people of Venezuela,

43:51 raise your voices in a call for freedom.

43:55 Nicolas Maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power.

44:00 Venezuelan President Maduro responded by saying he would revise diplomatic relations with the United States, saying, quote, never before has a high-level official said that the opposition should overthrow the government, unquote.

44:16 Venezuelan Vice President Dessy Rodriguez also responded to the Pence video.

44:25 Because Mr. Pence doesn't have a job, now he wants to come and run Venezuela, handing out instructions on what should happen in Venezuela tomorrow, openly calling for a coup d'etat in Venezuela.

44:35 I will say it like the Venezuelan people would say it to you. Yankee, go home.

44:40 On Monday, the government of President Maduro said it suppressed a military revolt in the capital, Caracas.

44:46 Maduro has accused the U.S., along with Canada and 12 Latin American allies, including Brazil, of plotting a coup against his socialist government.

44:55 Meanwhile, opposition groups are planning to hold major anti-Maduro protests today across Venezuela.

45:01 Well, it sounds like a coup to me.

45:04 It is a coup.

45:05 We're behind it.

45:07 There's no doubt about it.

45:08 This is the make good because we could not get Chavez out of the office.

45:13 I think we just moved up one spot.

45:15 I think we did.

45:16 We're number seven with a bullet.

45:17 Now, if we hear the same report on PBS, we hear a few more details.

45:21 In fact, she never mentions Guido at all in that report because in the previous shows, she's had these experts on it.

45:31 She says this guy, this Guido guy, nobody knows who he is.

45:37 He's an unknown. He's just some sort of guy.

45:39 He just somehow won the head of the assembly, became that guy,

45:44 and now is just familiarizing himself with people.

45:47 It's reported differently on PBS.

45:49 Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro, faces the most direct challenge to his nearly six years in power.

45:56 Today, as Nick Schifrin reports, the U.S. and more than a half a dozen other countries

46:01 recognized Juan Guaido, currently the head of Venezuela's National Assembly,

46:06 as the country's legitimate president.

46:08 On a stage in downtown Caracas, in front of a crowd of thousands,

46:14 35-year-old Juan Guido raised his right hand and administered his own oath of office.

46:19 I swear to formally assume the powers of the national executive

46:24 as the president in charge of Venezuela.

46:26 Around the capital and country today, hundreds of thousands,

46:30 perhaps millions of Venezuelans rallied in support of Guido

46:34 and called for a change in government.

46:36 That is why we are here, to support our National Assembly, the only legitimate power for the 14 million Venezuelans.

46:45 Nuns demanded freedom, and other protesters demanded President Nicolas Maduro step down.

46:53 Your time is up, and your cabinet's. Understand this, Venezuela has outgrown you.

47:02 Venezuelans have protested before, but this time the usually fractured opposition has a consensus leader.

47:08 Until recently, Guido was relatively unknown, but he's crisscrossed the country speaking against Laduro,

47:14 asking for support from the international community and Venezuela's powerful military.

47:19 We are not asking you to mount a coup or to shoot.

47:24 On the contrary, we are asking you not to shoot at us and defend together with us the right of our people to be heard.

47:32 So that sounds very much like they got all these groups together in concert.

47:39 This is a CIA operation.

47:40 I think this is something that they've been working on,

47:45 and I think they're putting all their real smart guys on doing this to make it look smooth.

47:52 This was a real good job because the guy just slips in, he pops up,

47:59 He's totally likable-looking, Obama kind of thing.

48:02 The CIA knows how to run that.

48:04 Yeah, he's only 35.

48:06 And the guy just inaugurated himself.

48:08 I mean, that's good.

48:09 I love that part.

48:10 That's a coup right there.

48:11 Yeah.

48:12 So now we're going to go to the outlet, CBS, to hear how they're going to try to spin it.

48:19 I think that PBS did the best reporting on this, which we just heard.

48:24 Very different than the Democracy Now! reporting, where they're just angry about this.

48:30 Well, let's just, you and I are not jaded, but we've just accepted as fact that's what we do.

48:38 Yeah.

48:39 And we put up bases.

48:41 We do a good job.

48:42 We are the order.

48:44 It's not like these guys go broke because of us.

48:47 I mean, they will go broke if they don't play the game right.

48:51 But, okay, Venezuela CBS.

48:52 Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans protested in the streets today, demanding that President Nicolas Maduro step aside.

48:59 35-year-old Juan Guaido, the head of the National Assembly, swore himself in as the new leader of the country.

49:07 Journalist Virginia Lopez-Glas is in Caracas.

49:10 There were also videos of the National Guard throwing tear gas at protesters and also taking some protesters with them prisoners.

49:19 backing the opposition, the Trump administration, which today, along with Canada and more than a

49:24 dozen other countries, officially recognized Guaido as interim president. At the White House,

49:29 reporters asked President Trump if he'd take military action to protect the opposition

49:33 movement. Venezuela, once a wealthy country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world,

49:40 is on the verge of economic collapse, with food and medicine in short supply.

49:44 It has become a haven for terrorists and drug traffickers.

49:48 More than three million Venezuelans have fled into surrounding countries.

49:52 Scholar Moshi Rendon's family still lives there.

49:55 We're talking about 300 children expected to die because of lack of food.

50:00 The average Venezuelan has lost 24 pounds in the last year.

50:05 Maduro has long blamed the U.S. for his country's problems,

50:08 even accusing Venezuelan and Colombian immigrants living in Florida for a failed assassination attempt last August.

50:14 control today he severed diplomatic ties and ordered u.s embassy personnel out of the country

50:21 within 72 hours the pentagon and state department are determining how to protect u.s diplomats

50:27 still in venezuela sources tell cbs news that guido is now in hiding in caracas the next steps

50:33 are unclear maduro still has powerful supporters including china and russia and for now jeff his

50:40 own military all right yeah so now we have the truer picture yes of what we're really thinking

50:48 maduro did not revive as amy put it revise relationships with the united states he he

50:55 expelled the united states it's a difference it seems to me yeah but we're not budging apparently

51:01 well no we left we're leaving we're trying to get out of there safely we're not sticking around the

51:06 embassy no no embassy's got to get out but everyone else stays well gladio we know who's

51:13 going to stay the guys the activists gladio team and they apparently then they i guess they know

51:20 enough about the situation that they can uh um take guido as i call me guido and lock him up

51:30 someplace so he won't get killed because that's what the maduro is oh yeah what you want to do

51:36 and so if you're running the show if you're one of the whoever the station chief is and these other

51:40 guys that are having to do this thing to make it look like it's just natural they have they know

51:47 enough to get this guy buried so he can crop up later as the big reigning hero after maduro either

51:53 quits or something happens like this this is not over i've been looking at the dutch news

51:59 I'm waiting for CuraΓ§ao or Bonaire.

52:02 These are islands you can almost see Venezuela, which are Dutch, actually, municipalities.

52:08 Nothing from them.

52:10 It's right off the coast.

52:12 Well, they haven't been read in.

52:15 Yeah.

52:16 Well, I think so far, mission accomplished.

52:21 So far, so good.

52:23 I don't think the mission is anywhere near accomplished.

52:27 I mean, don't forget that we went around and around with Chavez a lot, and we tried to kill him a couple of times, and we tried to make him do deals and everything, and he ended up becoming more powerful than ever.

52:42 So it can turn the other way.

52:45 He never wanted to play ball.

52:48 And what is our benefit?

52:49 What do we want all this for?

52:51 The world's largest supply of oil.

52:53 Oh, really?

52:54 Reserves.

52:55 the world's largest reserves

52:57 bigger than Saudi Arabia

53:00 yeah

53:01 I think we want that

53:03 yeah I think so

53:04 who's in there what companies

53:06 is it just us

53:08 well Sitco is Venezuelan right

53:11 yeah it's a Venezuelan company that has

53:13 gas stations all over the United States

53:15 and that's all Venezuelan oil

53:16 they have their own refinance

53:17 they're pretty much vertically integrated

53:20 so

53:23 So that's fine as long as the oil comes over here, but, you know, it's still.

53:30 If we could get Venezuela, and we also should just take Canada for their oil, too.

53:35 Yeah, Canada.

53:37 This is number three.

53:37 Don't forget, we're number eight.

53:38 Yeah, so they're in our sights.

53:41 But the Venezuelan oil, we don't need Canada.

53:45 We don't need anybody if we could get a hold of that oil.

53:47 Right.

53:48 All right.

53:52 so uh let's see there's something to do with it what else was oh yeah uh there was the uh

53:58 the two marches over the weekend the march for life and the march for the women's march

54:05 which was split up and really yeah we had some clips on the last show about the women's march

54:11 yeah but there wasn't much there wasn't much to do about the uh about the marches they didn't have

54:16 the scale um they didn't have the right to the march for life uh so that would be the anti-abortion

54:25 people uh they had an interesting speaker well they never get any coverage no well there's a

54:31 reason so one of their main speakers was ben shapiro oh now now you gotta i wish you could

54:38 see the video so he's on a stage he's sitting down behind a desk with his laptop open his laptop

54:46 has a big daily wire sticker on it on the lid and he's reading he's reading from his laptop while

54:54 he's on stage with this crowd and actually the crowd microphone reading a speech from his laptop

54:59 sitting down what yeah so i'm gonna play this what a stylist it's so it's baffling

55:08 um and he also lost a couple sponsors over this speech for his radio show which is just the

55:15 beginning finally argument number 10 this one has become popular in recent years after the book for

55:20 economics came out that argument is that abortion lowers the crime rate right that all the that what

55:25 has lowered the crime rate traditionally has been killing all the would-be criminals.

55:28 First of all, I don't know who's comfortable with the pre-crime version of humanity,

55:35 where we get to decide before you're born whether you're likely to be a criminal

55:37 and then abort you based on future criminal activity in which you have not participated.

55:41 And the crowd is just riveted by this fantastic presentation.

55:44 The argument, I guess here, is that would you kill baby Hitler?

55:48 And the truth is that no pro-life person on Earth would kill baby Hitler, right?

55:52 Because baby Hitler wasn't Hitler. Adult Hitler was Hitler. Baby Hitler was a baby.

55:55 What you presumably want to do with baby Hitler was take baby Hitler out of baby Hitler's house and move baby Hitler into a better house where he would not grow up to be Hitler.

56:03 That's the idea.

56:04 Let's listen to this again.

56:08 Would you kill baby Hitler?

56:09 And the truth is that no pro-life person on Earth would kill baby Hitler because baby Hitler wasn't Hitler.

56:13 Adult Hitler was Hitler.

56:14 Baby Hitler was a baby.

56:15 What you presumably want to do with baby Hitler was take baby Hitler out of baby Hitler's house and move baby Hitler into a better house where he would not grow up to be Hitler.

56:22 Dude.

56:23 Dude.

56:25 Yeah, he's off the rails.

56:27 He is off the rails.

56:28 I was just like, baby Hitler, baby Hitler.

56:30 Dude, no.

56:33 Too much coffee.

56:38 Too much coffee, Ben.

56:40 Go to decaffeinate it.

56:42 He's going to be deplatformed.

56:43 It's going to happen.

56:44 Oh, yeah.

56:46 They got their own platform.

56:47 They don't have to worry about it.

56:49 Okay, coming up, I have, let's see.

56:52 I'm sorry.

56:54 Were you going to say something?

56:55 No, I just realized something.

56:57 I'm sorry, I mumbled.

56:58 One interesting piece of news for people who believe they can monetize the network, which...

57:05 Oh, here you go.

57:06 Yeah.

57:06 It's just a shorty, though.

57:08 I love it.

57:09 After years and years and years of...

57:15 And I'm looking at every single developer who's like, Google's so great.

57:18 They're really making the best browser.

57:20 Yeah, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome.

57:22 Oh, yeah, everything works with Chrome.

57:23 Yeah, Google knows what they're doing.

57:24 They're so smart.

57:25 well here we are google announced they are changing the extension api which for all

57:36 intents and purposes will make ad blocking impossible with third-party ad blockers

57:42 specifically um it's the one that i was using uh block for pro no no no no you block origin is

57:52 probably one of the better ones no actually adblock pro will but they will be allowed to

57:59 continue to function but of course they allow ads through for a fee so now we're in the situation

58:06 that just when microsoft as an aside announced that they were moving to a chromium engine on

58:14 the back end uh for their edge browser google is really clamping down and everybody's like oh what

58:23 this is what is an ad agency this is what we warned you of and here it is and actually there's

58:31 a thread with brendan ike from brave and uh so the brave browser will obviously be able to combat

58:37 this change because they have other other systems in there a lot of noise about everyone going back

58:44 to firefox which i doubt in fact i think i think going back to firefox i've been using firefox i

58:49 never went to chrome i always thought it was crumb um no i'm pretty sure that everyone just go oh

58:56 okay and they'll take the ad block pro and everyone will just move on their merry way

59:00 except you're right except people like me i installed my pie hole yesterday based on this news

59:08 i have to tell you this is what is my pie hole ah my pie hole p-i-h-o-l-e this is i think we've

59:18 talked about it before it's you get a raspberry pie pronounce that p-holy p-holy yeah well there's

59:26 a hyphen pie hole pie holy so you so you get a raspberry pie very inexpensive you know like what

59:34 is it now 20 bucks you got a good one yeah hook it up to the internet you issue one command it

59:40 installs this pie hole which includes um community open source lists of all the urls you want to

59:48 block and whenever you in your own network at home whenever you are on the web any of these

59:56 it's kind of like what brave does uh inherently anything of any program in this case anything

1:00:01 you're using will then be routed into kind of like this dead zone so it never appears in your

1:00:06 browser but it kind of appears as though it it did go through for the service serving up the

1:00:11 web page brave does yes and but this is fantastic because brave has its problems you know it's still

1:00:18 wonky it's it's oh it's very wonky heavy do images properly yeah there's all kinds of issues with it

1:00:25 but this pie hole oh my god and and it's also fun to see you know like this microsoft is they have

1:00:33 like 18 different things they're pinging once every second it's coming from all over they're

1:00:38 even pinging bing god knows why but it's just all and it's why not all this stuff is blocked out is

1:00:45 really really good and i'm thinking this would be a great product if if we could do hardware

1:00:51 You know, everyone just needs one of these.

1:00:52 You need a thing that just, you know, like on a USB stick, if it will be possible.

1:00:56 It's not.

1:00:56 To just have one of these everywhere you go, it's real.

1:01:00 And it speeds up your whole experience because it's blocking.

1:01:04 I'm blocking a little under 30% of all traffic that is just ad-based bull crap.

1:01:09 Yeah.

1:01:11 30%.

1:01:12 That's really good.

1:01:15 Get off the net.

1:01:19 Now, everyone has to go towards these things because the Chrome browser is just completely compromised.

1:01:25 And thank you very much, developers who thought Google was the best thing ever.

1:01:30 And now you're going to have to deal with it yourself.

1:01:31 Hey, Google does what they do because they do what they do.

1:01:37 And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.

1:01:41 Say in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.

1:01:44 I had no C for you.

1:01:45 Just gave you your name.

1:01:46 Chrome.

1:01:47 and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you john c

1:01:52 where the c stands for chrome devorek in the morning you mr adam curry also in the morning

1:01:59 to the ships at the sea and the feet in the water and the subs in the water and the dames and knights

1:02:03 out there and in the morning to our troll room you can find them at no agenda stream.com also

1:02:09 starting to be blocked here and there by some corporate firewalls because apparently we uh we

1:02:14 steal your we fish on you i don't know what the hell this uh it's we're slowly going down people

1:02:19 and uh oh i'm trying to bring up the firewalls

1:02:24 say what i mean it's ridiculous if anybody blocks us this uh what i mean that's what they do i mean

1:02:35 you get reported by someone then all of a sudden you're just on the list there's nothing you can

1:02:39 do about it it's called deplatforming you can bitch and moan in the morning to darren o'neill

1:02:43 as we discussed earlier he brought us the artwork for episode 1105 the title of that was bombshell

1:02:48 and we had our uh guido uh obama picture up there so you could see how close the

1:02:57 the resemblance is in stature in gaze as in g-a-z-e uh smile everything is very very similar

1:03:08 uncanny almost the guy looks like a bomb at 10 years younger i don't want to say too much but

1:03:13 this show did kind of predict and here we are we knew it was going to happen all right uh

1:03:20 be nice if i had my reading glasses but okay how is your how is the bionic eye doing by the way

1:03:28 it's great you still need reading glasses for him you wouldn't yeah these lenses only have

1:03:34 I felt there's different kinds of lenses you can get.

1:03:37 One is fixed focal and then you have some different focal lengths or a variable focal length.

1:03:42 But the one that I have is like medium to long, two focal ranges, but I still get binocular vision.

1:03:49 Most people, they get their single focal length, they get long and then they wear glasses.

1:03:54 Right.

1:03:55 But they can sometimes lose binocular vision.

1:03:59 And then there's these crazy ones that are just, you look at them and you go, why would I put that in my eye?

1:04:06 But apparently they give you a full range of vision, which would be the reason.

1:04:10 But the way they explain it is like, yeah, I know it looks weird, this lens, but apparently your brain gets these images.

1:04:22 By the way, this really makes you wonder about the basis of reality.

1:04:28 seeing is believing you mean no i think everything is kind of sketchy okay because this thing is

1:04:35 apparently just throws a bunch of crap into your eye and the brain goes i think i can piece this

1:04:40 together yes look perfect and you have this great vision these random scraps that are thrown into

1:04:48 the under the retina it's just like okay so it's oh okay so it's not just a a clean focal lens it's

1:04:55 like a whole bunch of like sand no it's a it's a lens but a lot of them they were they got all

1:05:00 kinds of little dips and doodles on them it's not not like just a lens that you could like a camera

1:05:06 lens it's got more going on and it's uh not natural because the real lens is like a rubbery

1:05:12 little thing that you that helps us focus because it changes shape right but uh it's just a long

1:05:19 There's a lot to it, more to it than you'd think.

1:05:21 Okay.

1:05:21 Okay, let's start off.

1:05:24 Now, we don't have any official executive producers today, I saw.

1:05:28 I wanted to mention that.

1:05:29 We have no executive producer.

1:05:32 Again, this is two times in the same month, which is a huge difference from last year.

1:05:38 It's actually an economic indicator for Wall Street.

1:05:41 It might be.

1:05:43 Not happy about it.

1:05:44 This is Brian...

1:05:49 it's rifles riffles well riffles okay and he came up with 282 dollars and 28 cents in a check

1:09:39 Okay, so he wants a goat karma train farmer, train foamer.

1:09:44 So why don't I do a goat foamer and get that ready for him.

1:09:50 This is from Anonymous Boots in the Air.

1:09:53 Crackpot and Buzzkill, please de-douche me again with this donation of $233.33.

1:09:57 You've been de-douched.

1:10:01 $200 for an associate executive producer credit and $33.33 for my podcasting license.

1:10:08 For real this time, Adam.

1:10:10 Oh, there is actually no license we send out.

1:10:13 If you send me your desired name, then we'll give you firstname.lastname.podcastlicense.com,

1:10:23 and you get a certificate with that.

1:10:24 So it could be anonymous.boots.in.in, something like that.

1:10:29 The events of my life as of late have led me somewhere I don't want to be.

1:10:32 So in an aggressive attempt to change my situation, I request the powerful goat karma.

1:10:38 It's very powerful.

1:10:41 And I implore other producers to help me with an experiment.

1:10:45 Oh, pay attention.

1:10:45 I will be comparing the events of goat karma induced 2019 versus my no karma control of 2018.

1:10:54 I urge another producer to attempt the same with the standard karma model, and we can compare notes in late December.

1:11:01 All right.

1:11:02 I'm always excited to download the new show every Sunday and Sunday.

1:11:06 I don't always agree with you two.

1:11:09 You don't need to say it.

1:11:10 But I appreciate the copious amounts of work you've put into finding the truthity of the M5M and their shortcomings.

1:11:18 I request Goat Karma for the experiment and Train Foamer because it always makes me laugh.

1:11:23 Also, I was wrong.

1:11:25 He doesn't want that.

1:11:26 He wants just a regular Foamer jingle.

1:11:29 Okay.

1:11:30 Here you go.

1:11:30 Thank you for your support.

1:11:32 Oh, my God!

1:11:34 Listen to that horn!

1:11:37 You've got karma.

1:11:40 All right.

1:11:41 Let us know in December.

1:11:43 Yeah, that'll be the test, the big test.

1:11:46 Yes.

1:11:46 The Goat Karma Test of 2019.

1:11:50 Nelson, was it Selim, Selim, Selim.

1:11:56 Selim, yeah.

1:11:57 In Boise, Boise, Boise, Idaho.

1:12:00 $200.33.

1:12:02 Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops.

1:12:07 Forgive me, Podfather, for I have sinned.

1:12:08 I have committed the great crime of douchebaggery by not donating for nearly a year.

1:12:13 Money's been tight due to moving twice in a year and all the associated expenses.

1:12:18 Now, since I last donated, I have joined the Calexit Exodus,

1:12:23 leaving the People's Republic of California and permanently resettling in the great state of Idaho.

1:12:28 I could swear I felt my amygdala relaxing gradually since making the move.

1:12:34 I promise not to bring socialism and poop-covered streets with me,

1:12:38 but I can't say the same for the thousands of other California transplants

1:12:41 who have preceded me and are going to follow.

1:12:43 Shortly after airtime, I will be interviewing for a promotion on my current job,

1:12:47 so please give me a hit of that sweet jobs karma.

1:12:50 In addition to the karma, I'd like to request a foamer and two to the back of the head.

1:12:54 As always, thank you both for the perpetually needed biweekly doses of sanity.

1:13:00 We got it for you.

1:13:02 Oh, my God!

1:13:03 Listen to that horn!

1:13:06 Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

1:13:10 Let's vote for jobs.

1:13:12 You've got karma.

1:13:15 You know, a lot of Californians have not a lot like they've been hauling their ass to Texas,

1:13:21 which is really where the target state is.

1:13:24 No, go away.

1:13:26 Stay away.

1:13:28 Yeah, don't listen to him.

1:13:30 So there's about three target states.

1:13:33 One is Nevada.

1:13:34 People go there because there's no taxes, and it seems like a good idea at the time.

1:13:41 And lots of hookers.

1:13:43 Then a lot of them go up to – then we have a huge Seattle contingent,

1:13:48 and the same people that go up there are the same ones that sometimes figure out that Idaho is probably a better bet.

1:13:54 Than Seattle, yeah.

1:13:56 And then there's a few laggers, the ones that are really with no money.

1:14:01 There's no reason, and they're usually just silly to leave.

1:14:04 They moved to Portland.

1:14:05 Yeah, it's horrible there now I hear.

1:14:07 Oh, yeah.

1:14:08 It's always been pretty bad.

1:14:10 And so, I mean, it's hipster.

1:14:12 You like Oakland, it's hipster-ish, and you can kind of see a lot of fellow travelers there.

1:14:19 And then Austin would be the next bet if you can't afford to go to New York, and that's it.

1:14:23 They don't go to Chicago.

1:14:25 I don't hear anybody say, I'm going to Kansas City.

1:14:28 Kansas City, here I come.

1:14:29 They're not doing that.

1:14:30 There's just a very few places, and they're very targeted.

1:14:34 And when it comes to Texas, it is Austin.

1:14:36 No one's saying, I'm moving to Dallas.

1:14:38 You're nuts, man.

1:14:39 It's too expensive.

1:14:40 It's crowded.

1:14:41 Dallas?

1:14:43 No, Austin.

1:14:44 And we're building walls.

1:14:45 Yeah, I'd go to Dallas before I'd go to Austin.

1:14:48 We hear Dallas is great.

1:14:50 Dallas is great.

1:14:51 Yeah.

1:14:54 Okay, onward to Sir Mark Wilson, the Baron of Glasgow, $200.

1:14:59 Gents, the show has been fabulous as always.

1:15:03 Can this Baron please receive some jobs, Carmen?

1:15:06 My current place is sinking, and it looks like I'll be on the market again.

1:15:10 Cheers.

1:15:10 Yes, Sir Mark Wilson, Baron of Glasgow, of course.

1:15:13 Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

1:15:16 Let's vote for jobs.

1:15:18 You've got karma.

1:15:23 And now we have Glenn Bukowski, who is in Sarasota, Florida, $200.

1:15:28 He sent a check and a note.

1:15:30 It's a long note, but it's handwritten.

1:15:34 But now I got my reading glasses, I can read it easy.

1:15:36 I am dude named Glenn.

1:15:38 Get it?

1:15:39 Dude named Glenn.

1:15:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:15:41 And John Curto, who John – I'm a dude named Glenn who John Curto from Dundon, Florida, called out twice as a douchebag.

1:15:53 So I need a de-douching as this is my first donation to No Agenda Show.

1:15:57 You've been de-douched.

1:16:00 Until now, my only support for the show is buying a No Agenda T-shirt that I wore to the gym

1:16:08 and buying a No Agenda mug that I use daily at work.

1:16:11 Okay.

1:16:12 First of all, those are independent operators and that money doesn't go to us.

1:16:16 Although we do get a piece of this shirt business.

1:16:18 We do.

1:16:20 Actually, I think we used to get a piece of the mug business, but they stopped selling them.

1:16:23 That was Eric.

1:16:24 I think other people sell mugs, too.

1:16:26 I use daily at work.

1:16:28 Anyway, I read that you should not listen to political talk while exercising, but listening to No Agenda Show at the gym gets you pumped, pumped up just as much as listening to heavy metal.

1:16:37 I'm currently working in data architecture and programming and SAS, and I'm bored out of my mind.

1:16:43 Working long hours at my current job has also presented me with some recent health issues.

1:16:47 Now, I've come to realize the importance of a work-life balance.

1:16:50 I'd like to call out John's smoking hot girlfriend, this is John Curto, Ariana, for being a listener to the show longer than I have and still not donating a dime.

1:17:04 Wow.

1:17:05 Douchebagger.

1:17:07 Douchebag.

1:17:08 Just because John donates to the show does not mean she gets a pass on donating.

1:17:13 Yeah.

1:17:13 No family plans, people.

1:17:16 She snubbed him.

1:17:17 Does not get passed on the donating, especially since they are both employed.

1:17:22 Even though John's a good friend and a good guy, I'm happy he hit me in the mouth about the No Agenda show.

1:17:28 He's still a one and John, J-O-N, and should be called out as a douchebag.

1:17:34 Douchebag.

1:17:35 He was probably irked about getting called out.

1:17:39 No kidding.

1:17:39 Glenn here.

1:17:40 Can I please get a Trump jobs karma and don't be a denier?

1:17:46 Oh, he wants the Trump jobs karma.

1:17:48 This is the first guy who's done this.

1:17:51 Are you sure?

1:17:52 Great work.

1:17:53 I don't know if we actually put that.

1:17:56 That clip is in abeyance.

1:17:57 And Adam's probably going to dig for it because this is the clip we scrapped it because of the feedback we got in Seattle from a guy who had the Trump jobs karma dropped on him and he couldn't get work for a year.

1:18:09 Well, let's find out.

1:18:12 Let us know how it goes.

1:18:16 The science is in.

1:18:18 Science.

1:18:20 Jobs, jobs, jobs.

1:18:22 You've got karma.

1:18:28 Well, I'd like to know, too, because that is not the jobs karma that the other guy was referring to.

1:18:34 The one that I think.

1:18:35 I got it.

1:18:36 It's the one with Nancy.

1:18:37 It's the back and forth.

1:18:39 Jobs, jobs, jobs.

1:18:40 Yeah, with Nancy.

1:18:41 And then let's vote for jobs.

1:18:42 Well, we also have this one.

1:18:43 Jobs, jobs, jobs.

1:18:46 That's pretty good.

1:18:47 But we'll do this one.

1:18:48 Jobs.

1:18:49 Jobs.

1:18:49 Jobs.

1:18:50 Jobs.

1:18:51 Jobs.

1:18:52 Jobs.

1:18:53 And jobs.

1:18:54 Let's vote for jobs.

1:18:55 You've got karma.

1:18:58 Well, this guy has been hit with the three versions.

1:19:03 He's going to be CEO of GE.

1:19:06 Well, let's see what happens.

1:19:09 Maybe.

1:19:09 Maybe that's the problem.

1:19:10 It's one of those things that's like some sort of a toxin you have to really use a lot.

1:19:15 Yes, like a vaccine.

1:19:16 it's a vaccine yeah that's the adjuvant adjuvant whatever glenn bukowski and sora soda that was

1:19:26 200 bucks report back glenn dude named glenn that concludes our uh associate executive producer

1:19:34 list and the one executive producer was bumped up uh twice this month this has happened yep i want

1:19:41 thank these people for helping out produce show 1106 yes in our value for value model which

1:19:47 has been keeping the show going for 11 years and counting 1106 episodes once this one is done

1:19:53 we have not been deplatformed we have people who love being a part of the show you're all producers

1:20:01 and we have some producers that we'd like to honor early on just like hollywood with these credits

1:20:06 executive producer and associate executive producer credits you can use anywhere they're

1:20:10 recognized they're valuable uh but of course unlike hollywood we actually call out the

1:20:15 executive producers and put them in the spotlight which as you'll see never happens on the award

1:20:21 messages to the public yes no one frame at the end of your show like chuck lori no no no you get

1:20:28 whatever you want here and we love doing it we appreciate it and we have more producers to thank

1:20:32 in our second segment, $50 and above,

1:20:34 and another show coming for you on Sunday.

1:20:36 Remember us at...

1:20:37 Dvorak.org slash N-A...

1:20:41 Shut up, Slade.

1:20:42 Now, even I have the download on what's happening in Venezuela.

1:20:45 Go out, hit people with that formula.

1:20:46 Our formula is this.

1:20:48 We go out, we hit people in the mouth.

1:20:51 Get in here.

1:20:54 What?

1:20:56 Order.

1:20:58 Hey, very sad news, Jean-Claude.

1:21:06 Sad news, yeah, sad news.

1:21:09 Came across the transom.

1:21:10 Our favorite streaming television service, Pluto TV,

1:21:15 has been purchased by Viacom.

1:21:19 That's the end of it.

1:21:22 That will be the end of it because they're going to take the cat channels off.

1:21:25 I think that it was $340 million.

1:21:28 which is pretty good i don't know yeah considering it's just a it's a good well here's the thing i

1:21:34 think they do have to pay they're paying some fees to some of these outfits for for well yeah

1:21:39 as cvs and these yeah they probably have about 10 channels they got to pay for the rest of them

1:21:43 are all free and the cat channel is their own i think it could be there's actually two cat

1:21:48 channels now if you go that's probably where all the value was viacom's like 340 million

1:21:53 I'm telling you, that cat channel is one of the best.

1:21:55 It's a steal for cat channels.

1:21:56 I agree.

1:21:57 Now, I want to mention something that you brought this up.

1:22:00 And I think this is the reason Viacom bought them.

1:22:03 Because if Viacom didn't buy them, Xfinity would have.

1:22:08 Because Xfinity has a streaming service for its subscribers.

1:22:12 And I have a Comcast connection to the internet.

1:22:15 And I'm a subscriber.

1:22:17 And I get the cable if I want it.

1:22:19 I don't use it necessarily.

1:22:21 but I have it and I'm allowed to look at the Xfinity streaming service

1:22:27 because I'm a subscriber.

1:22:28 Okay.

1:22:29 So you load it up on your Roku and you hit a button.

1:22:32 The thing's spinning and spinning and you hit it.

1:22:35 And then your channels come up, all the regular channels,

1:22:38 and you say, I want to watch, you know, channel five.

1:22:41 You put it on and you wait at least five minutes.

1:22:45 Yes, I've had that service.

1:22:46 It's horrible.

1:22:47 It doesn't work.

1:22:49 Meanwhile, I go over to Pluto, I hit the button, it populates the channels almost instantly,

1:22:56 and you go to any one of them, it does one spin and you're on.

1:23:00 So why does Comcast, NBC, Universal, big, giant company, they can't get this to work

1:23:10 and some operation calling themselves Pluto, Pluto TV, they roll out of bed and the thing

1:23:16 works absolutely perfectly?

1:23:19 it's hello yeah you know who has similar problems is hulu hulu also has problems and they always

1:23:25 have to have some stupid logo so everyone knows there was an abc show or an nbc show and that's

1:23:30 like an an interstitial uh stream insert it appears to me there's a lot of buffering going

1:23:37 on with that service too i don't know i don't know what's going on netflix seems to do pretty well

1:23:41 but netflix well netflix has their own appliances all over the country yeah but pluto they're the

1:23:46 bomb but this is ridiculous i know pluto doesn't have an appliance at the isp level

1:23:53 so they're just doing something right and i think it was a smart move by viacom to buy it to steal

1:24:00 two cat channels for 340 technology because nobody else seems to be able to understand

1:24:04 and what is wrong with xfinity they can't get this to work are they that bad at engineering

1:24:11 i mean do you want to trust this company would you invest with them i don't think i'm just going

1:24:15 to wager uh here's a shot xfinity comes from the iptv people and i think that that you know iptv

1:24:22 which as far as i know never really took off the way they expected it with the technology at the

1:24:28 time this is when i was in london and british telecom was doing all this yeah everybody was

1:24:32 working on it networks was the big leader yeah they kind of come out of that camp uh which i'm

1:24:38 sure it's top heavy tons of engineers all kinds of stuff and the pluto guys just by the name alone

1:24:43 and you get the impression, you know, they're a bunch of dudes.

1:24:47 Yeah, a bunch of dudes named Ben Goofballs.

1:24:50 Let's throw up the cat channel.

1:24:51 Hey, let's put RT on.

1:24:54 They'll give it to us for free.

1:24:55 Hey, great.

1:24:55 Hey, let's put some eyeballs as our logo.

1:24:57 Yeah, I love it.

1:24:58 Totally.

1:25:00 And you're right about the RT.

1:25:02 I'm sure they get that carriage for nothing.

1:25:04 Yeah, I mean.

1:25:05 Viacom will drop that right away.

1:25:07 It's just kind of our hacker TV service.

1:25:09 Well, you know, I can say I'm hopeful they don't ruin it, but you know they will.

1:25:13 they won't ruin it tomorrow they sold out man well they probably were losing their ass

1:25:20 no doubt i'm telling you i got a lot of feedback on the 5g segment i did on the last show it's a

1:25:27 good segment thank you um there's a lot i could say a lot of feedback we got but there's only

1:25:33 one clip i want to play today one clip and one clip only i think it'll do it for today's 5g

1:25:39 segment and this is uh i think it's only a year and a half ago this was at the united nations

1:25:45 and i think this was about health also about the world health organization the wto this is

1:25:53 claire edwards and she is addressing the chair of uh may have been the secretary general not sure

1:25:59 at the united nations who also um at the end will chime in about what she is saying

1:26:05 and this is very interesting because when the elites are worried about a technology

1:26:11 and you're still it's still being jammed down your throat let's say maybe they were apprehensive

1:26:18 about using the technology you know we've all heard steve jobs and didn't let his kids use ipads

1:26:23 smart or iphones there's a lot of this you know kids in silicon valley go to private schools

1:26:29 where they use an abacus i don't know if that's true but it's not true sounds kind of like it a

1:26:36 lot of may have been taught an abacus because it's actually very good uh little uh exercise

1:26:41 so to recap for the 5g technology which is going which is being touted everywhere as the savior of

1:26:49 our world because we can have self-driving cars even though i never heard that before but we need

1:26:55 And now we can get super fast Internet, all the porn you can drink all the time.

1:27:01 It's going to be just, you know, there will be applications you never even thought possible.

1:27:05 Virtual reality, augmented reality on the streets is going to be great.

1:27:09 And it just might kill you.

1:27:12 Secretary General, UN staff have repeatedly been told that they are the most important resource of this organization.

1:27:18 Since December 2015, the staff here at the Vienna International Center

1:27:23 have been exposed to off-the-scale electromagnetic radiation

1:27:27 from Wi-Fi and mobile phone boosters installed on very low ceilings throughout the buildings.

1:27:33 Current public exposure levels are at least one quintillion, that's 18 zeros,

1:27:40 one quintillion times above natural background radiation,

1:27:44 according to Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

1:27:48 The highly dangerous biological effects of EMFs have been documented by thousands of

1:27:54 studies since 1932, indicating that we may be facing a global health catastrophe orders

1:28:00 of magnitude worse than those caused by tobacco and cigarettes.

1:28:05 Mr Secretary General, on the basis of the precautionary principle, I urge you to have

1:28:10 these EMF-emitting devices removed immediately from these buildings and to call a halt to

1:28:16 any rollout of 5g at un duty stations because 5g is designed to deliver concentrated and focused

1:28:25 electromagnetic radiation in excess of 100 times current levels in the same way as do directed

1:28:33 energy weapons can i just stop there and just say how much i love that she said that the radiation

1:28:40 is the same as directed energy weapons i thought that was just some conspiracy theory that i talked

1:28:44 about now it's in the u.s we talked about the directed and it just said it hurts thing they

1:28:50 yeah i'm being a little facetious because if you bring this stuff up and you say you get radiated

1:28:55 like a do dew then people roll their eyes at you thank goodness it's in the united nations that is

1:29:01 being discussed of 100 times current levels in the same way as do directed energy weapons maybe

1:29:09 you're just a listener in line with the un guiding principles on business and human rights

1:29:15 to protect respect and remedy 5g technologies must be subjected to an independent health and

1:29:24 safety assessment before they are launched anywhere in the world there is currently an

1:29:29 international appeal signed by 237 emf scientists from 41 nations urging the un and particularly the

1:29:37 who to exert strong leadership in fostering the development of more protective emf guidelines

1:29:44 encouraging precautionary measures and educating the public about the considerable health risks

1:29:50 particularly the risks to children and fetal fetal development who cares mr secretary general

1:29:57 i think we have a unique opportunity here at the un office at vienna since our medical records are

1:30:04 digitized, you have the choice and the possibility of releasing data on a closed population exposed

1:30:12 to off-the-scale levels of electromagnetic radiation in a metal-walled building, which

1:30:19 exacerbates the situation, to establish if there have already been abnormal health consequences

1:30:26 for the UN staff here in the last 28 months. I urge you to do so and stop any rollout of

1:30:33 5g immediately thank you now this guy's sitting there listening to this and he comes back with

1:30:40 this because uh you're talking with someone that is a little bit ignorant on these things

1:30:45 you're talking to the wi-fi systems um on the ceilings of these buildings wi-fi boosters and

1:30:52 cell phone boosters were installed without consultation without information to staff

1:30:57 in December 2015.

1:30:59 The situation here is extremely dangerous.

1:31:02 I have heard anecdotally of many people who have had health problems.

1:31:06 I don't know if they are related,

1:31:09 but the precautionary principle would dictate

1:31:12 that we use our medical records to look into this

1:31:15 and that we remove these dangerous devices immediately.

1:31:19 Thank you.

1:31:20 Well, I become worried because I put those devices in my house.

1:31:27 This I will have to, I confess my ignorance on this, we will have to, but I'm going to

1:31:40 raise this with WHO which I think is the organization that might be able to deal with it properly

1:31:45 for them to put someone, their staff or organizations to work on that because I must confess I was

1:31:56 was not aware of that thing sure all right so of course nothing has happened oh no who are they

1:32:02 gonna do worse they're worse than anyone now this claire edwards does have uh she's a part of a

1:32:08 group which you can find at 5g space appeal.org and i just wanted to read a little bit how does

1:32:14 that go so it's number 5g space appeal.org and the space part is what caught my eye i'm just

1:32:23 going to read from this for a second uh so they have an open letter they have a lot of signatories

1:32:27 of course and you know they have tons of uh medical people who say this is bad uh right off

1:32:32 the bat they say the deployment of 5g constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that

1:32:38 is defined as a crime under international law uh now listen to this i'm gonna read two paragraphs

1:32:43 telecommunications companies worldwide with the support of governments are poised within the next

1:32:48 two years to roll out the fifth generation wireless network 5g this is set to deliver

1:32:53 what is acknowledged to be unprecedented societal change on a global scale we will have smart homes

1:32:59 smart businesses smart highways smart cities and self-driving cars virtually everything we own and

1:33:05 buy from refrigerators and washing machines to milk cartons hair brushes and infants diapers

1:33:09 will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the internet every person

1:33:14 on earth will have instant access to super high speed low latency wireless communications from

1:33:19 any point on the planet even in rainforest mid-ocean and the antarctic bullshit what is not

1:33:26 widely acknowledged as that this will also result in unprecedented environmental change on a global

1:33:32 scale the planned density of radio frequency transmitters is impossible to envisage in

1:33:38 addition to millions of new 5g base stations on earth and 20 000 new satellites in space

1:33:45 20 billion transmitting objects will be part of the internet of things by 2020 and 1 trillion

1:33:52 objects a few years later commercial 5g at lower frequencies and slower speeds was deployed in

1:33:58 qatar finland estonia in the mid okay here we go and then they had but they're doing this in space

1:34:02 And the space 5G transmitters, they say, will be operating at 200 megawatts.

1:34:12 That's crazy.

1:34:18 And it's going to come from the satellites.

1:34:20 Yeah.

1:34:21 They're just trying to burn the place down.

1:34:25 So where does that leave the smart wall?

1:34:27 Do we have to make that 5G enabled so we can fry people?

1:34:31 Fry people?

1:34:32 come near this wall we come across the border here

1:34:38 maria wow how racist is that that's pretty bad

1:34:45 right do it again do it again do it again i'm not doing nothing

1:34:52 there it is there's your 5g at the wall yeah right there you go uh so i continue to stay on

1:35:00 top of this the studies are there uh what is just most interesting now and um one of our

1:35:06 producer well we had a lot of people writing one of our producers was denied access to

1:35:11 i think the the big barcelona um show the mobile show even though he's a current and for whatever

1:35:19 reason they they uh they wouldn't let him in which he's why they let everyone in these shows

1:35:24 unless you have zero credentials.

1:35:26 Yeah, he's not being accredited, even thoughβ€”

1:35:30 What is his credential?

1:35:31 What does he work for?

1:35:33 Does he have a business card or anything?

1:35:34 Yeah, he does.

1:35:35 He works for an outfit.

1:35:35 I don't know if he wants me to mention the outfit,

1:35:38 because he's going there super smoothly.

1:35:39 Is it a news operation?

1:35:41 Yes, it is a news operation.

1:35:42 Well, they should let him in.

1:35:43 He says it looks like a lot of this is about Qualcomm,

1:35:46 and that's why the Qualcomm deal didn't go throughβ€”

1:35:50 or did it go through?

1:35:50 Wasn't Qualcomm supposed to be purchased by the Chinas?

1:35:54 Oh, that, I think that deal was put in abeyance.

1:35:57 That's part of what's going on here.

1:35:59 Because we don't want China deploying the networks and determining when they're going to fry us.

1:36:05 Our government wants to do that at their own schedule.

1:36:08 Oh, yeah, we have our own way of frying people.

1:36:10 Yeah, we don't want the Chinese to have control over that.

1:36:13 So, and that will be the 5G report for today.

1:36:19 I thought that clip was all telling.

1:36:24 Yeah, that's good.

1:36:26 I'll have to check into this because if there's something going around – because this is the time if there's some document with a bunch of scientists signed it because you know the science is in.

1:36:33 This is what you take to your city government locally.

1:36:36 I'm talking to everybody.

1:36:39 Take it to your little town.

1:36:41 They're going to probably put these things in.

1:36:43 You take this to the city council, and you just put a stop to it.

1:36:46 It's not that hard.

1:36:46 They'll stop it.

1:36:47 No.

1:36:49 They will put the things up.

1:36:50 Austin, are you kidding me?

1:36:51 No way.

1:36:52 I'm not talking about Austin.

1:36:53 talking about the little towns because it just doesn't work unless it's everywhere.

1:36:56 So all the little towns, I'm saying Berkeley, they shouldn't put them up. I think Emeryville,

1:37:02 the whole Bay Area, most of the little towns. San Francisco, they should probably be able to

1:37:06 stop them there. Austin, I'm not so sure. I think it'd be probably hard to stop it in Palo Alto,

1:37:12 Austin, any town that's really high tech. It's just a bunch of...

1:37:17 You know, that's an interesting point. Let's see how they deploy that in Silicon Valley,

1:37:21 if they really are going to deploy this all over the place, if they do that.

1:37:25 Yeah, it will be interesting to see.

1:37:28 I doubt it.

1:37:29 Well, they may employ it like in Palo Alto, but not Mountain View.

1:37:34 I don't know.

1:37:35 This is not going to go over.

1:37:37 This is too expensive.

1:37:38 I think the economics of it is going to kill the whole idea.

1:37:42 You can't put a billion of these things out there.

1:37:44 It's too expensive.

1:37:46 It's more than just a transmitter.

1:37:48 I mean, yeah, okay, let's say a transmitter.

1:37:50 The device is $100, so it's $100 billion in sales.

1:37:53 But then you've got to buy a pole or you've got to have a guy – you have to have a – some guy's got to do a truck roll because everyone's got to be a truck roll.

1:38:02 That's a truck roll for every 250 feet everywhere.

1:38:05 I mean this is not possible.

1:38:08 This is impossible to afford.

1:38:09 You're missing the point, aren't you?

1:38:12 Uber is not profitable either.

1:38:16 You know, it's like this is just this is money.

1:38:19 Money's going to flow into this further.

1:38:21 So you're missing the point.

1:38:22 OK, this is not an Uber scam where you just have a bunch of money coming in and you just hope to God that you go public and you can pay off all your bills.

1:38:30 This is a company's like Verizon.

1:38:33 Yes.

1:38:33 A scam of epic proportions.

1:38:35 Yes.

1:38:35 They have real revenues.

1:38:37 Yes.

1:38:38 Epic proportion.

1:38:38 They are going with 5G.

1:38:40 What do you mean?

1:38:41 They're not.

1:38:41 It's not going to happen.

1:38:42 It's not going to roll out.

1:38:43 AT&T is already faking it.

1:38:45 Are you kidding me?

1:38:46 they're faking it but they're not doing it okay you know what stay in berkeley don't worry you

1:38:53 will get fried no okay fan was getting fried it's you why you're in austin yes yes well i'm not

1:39:02 going to get a 5g handset but i think it's a little short-sighted to say it's not going to

1:39:07 work i wouldn't get a handset in a million years verizon spent seven billion of china's money on

1:39:13 getting the frequencies they're going ahead with this this is going to happen we'll see we'll see

1:39:19 they have to go up against the public the public is the public is being wooed with demonstrations

1:39:26 of augmented reality and self-driving cars oh man okay i do you want to make a bet what do you want

1:39:36 to bet on it bet on what what how's the bet go this thing doesn't roll off you said it's not

1:39:41 going to happen you said it's not going to happen it's not going to happen what's not going to

1:39:46 happen there will be no 5g it's not going to happen they're going to come and they'll back

1:39:50 it off to some faux 4g with you know just saying it's 5g and i'll never do 5g 5g is not going to

1:39:56 happen i'm going to put these little transmitters all over the place there's no way yeah okay i'm

1:40:01 sorry you want to end your technology reporting career with this prediction you already ended it

1:40:06 by reporting this that's right and by the way okay yes you got deplatformed by reporting on it

1:40:17 what am i thinking all right so in that so i have the experience i'm a voice of reason

1:40:23 okay and reality and objectivity okay perfect okay well you don't hope you don't mind if i

1:40:29 continue to do these segments no that's or do i mind let me back up a little bit this won't

1:40:35 happen because of segments like ours yes nice there's something about there's something about

1:40:44 the 5g that it's called slicing uh is it called slice yeah network slicing which at&t and verizon

1:40:53 uh are all jacked up about because i guess the way it works is you can slice up the 5g signal

1:41:01 and you can offer like 20 different tiers of speed.

1:41:04 Yeah, this is like when they finally discovered multiplexing

1:41:08 on the optical fibers.

1:41:09 Yes, very similar, yeah.

1:41:11 Yeah, you can just probably slice this thing

1:41:14 a million different ways.

1:41:14 There's a lot of room to play around.

1:41:17 The problem is there's people in the way.

1:41:18 Now, I want to go back to that other clip.

1:41:20 I was going to mention this.

1:41:22 I think there's something funny about this woman's complaint

1:41:25 about all these little repeaters all over this place

1:41:28 in a metal building.

1:41:30 Yeah, well...

1:41:31 So you're basically in a microwave oven.

1:41:34 Yes, being fried.

1:41:36 So it's not just that the signal goes through you.

1:41:39 It goes through you, bounces off the metal building

1:41:42 and goes through you again,

1:41:43 bounces off the other side,

1:41:44 goes through you again and again and again

1:41:46 until you're toast, literally.

1:41:48 So I just found the imagery hilarious, metal building.

1:41:54 The most recent article I could find

1:41:57 from the New York Times on 5G,

1:41:59 which is negative, but not for the reasons you'd think.

1:42:03 President Trump wrote in October presidential memorandum,

1:42:07 it is imperative that America be first in fifth generation 5G wireless technologies.

1:42:12 While the administration, especially the Trump Federal Communications Commission, FCC,

1:42:16 makes much of how the 5G race with China is a matter of national security,

1:42:20 not enough effort is being put into the security of the network itself.

1:42:24 Nowhere in the president's directive, for instance,

1:42:27 Was there a word about protecting the cybersecurity of the new network?

1:42:30 So it's all bad because Trump has loosened regulations and there's not going to be enough cybersecurity and China is going to come in and kill us.

1:42:39 That's all they can say about it.

1:42:42 Not a word about the health concerns or radiation or any of that.

1:42:45 Yeah.

1:42:46 It's great.

1:42:47 Yeah, it is great.

1:42:49 We're on top of it.

1:42:51 Yes, we are.

1:42:52 so let's go back to um let's go back to some other more generalized news i i have a couple of uh

1:43:00 i'm sorry just one more thing do you remember we had the report of some general and i and i think

1:43:06 i accused him of being like a some kind of douche shill who had this idea that we would nationalize

1:43:11 the 5g network and then sell slices off to uh or you know use allow it to be rented effectively by

1:43:19 the by the telecoms i actually to be honest about i don't remember any of this okay i'll bring that

1:43:25 for the next show but i think the guy actually was trying to warn us about something um oh you're

1:43:31 taking a second you're taking a second look at this yeah yeah yeah it was signaling and you

1:43:35 you thought he was douching yes i thought he was douching but he might actually be on to something

1:43:40 yeah all right well that'll be for the next report okay i just got two switchbacks yeah

1:43:45 switchback what's a switch the whipsaw yeah i get my whipsaw report which i got a letter from one

1:43:52 of our producers saying that he stops listening to the show because it's too depressing and he

1:43:57 says it's depressing because every time we bring up these these tricks that the media is pulling

1:44:01 on the public he gets depressed about that instead of taking it as a great piece of knowledge to

1:44:09 apply every time you turn on the news you can you can actually apply this knowledge to see what the

1:44:14 fakery is which is kind of the game i'm guessing that what we have here is a person who is

1:44:22 idealistic and our show is designed to kind of debunk everything that is sold by the mainstream

1:44:30 media and all these commercial operations corporations and these messaging companies

1:44:36 and and so he being idealistic this revelation that we do on a day show by show basis is

1:44:46 depressing to him i find i was very disheartened well then the show is not for him no i don't think

1:44:53 it is because most people i think get a kick out of this stuff although i will say that i got enough

1:44:58 bad feedback about the gruesome animated gifs in the last newsletter some of them were a bit harsh

1:45:06 yeah yeah i can't took it to heart i'm gonna back off on yeah i think that's probably a good idea

1:45:12 yeah and we didn't get that kind of donation anyway um which is all depending on the gifs

1:45:18 we got a first of all let's start with uh look at the whips how many outline these let's start with

1:45:25 Amy Goodman, and she's doing, she's on a role in the last show about climate change. I'm going to

1:45:33 play, this is not a whipsaw, but it's just a showing what the reporting is like. This is Amy

1:45:37 climate gloom with the tipping points. A new study published this week finds the melting of Greenland's

1:45:43 ice sheet may have reached a tipping point and could severely increase sea level rise over the

1:45:49 next 20 years. The report confirms other recent studies which warn the Arctic is warming at twice

1:45:55 the rate of the rest of the planet due to climate change and people wonder why aoc

1:46:01 talks about dying in 12 years it's this kind of reporting that terrorizes the children thanks amy

1:46:09 yeah well here she does a whipsaw uh or a switchback depending on what you want you want

1:46:15 to call these things i've never really concluded what to call them this is our davos oh oh is she

1:46:20 in davos no she's not there but she's reporting about uh because they talked about climate change

1:46:26 in davos a little bit and here's an example in davos switzerland global elites are gathering

1:46:30 at the world economic forum this week while some of the world's wealthiest yeah that could have

1:46:35 been an alex jones intro when she says global elites i mean yeah this is that's total info

1:46:42 war speak in davos switzerland global elites are gathering at the world economic forum this week

1:46:48 while some of the world's wealthiest people discussed economic and business issues.

1:46:52 Other speakers, including renowned British natural historian Sir David Attenborough,

1:46:56 sounded the alarm on the dangers of climate change.

1:46:59 It's difficult to overstate it.

1:47:02 We are now so numerous, so powerful, so all-pervasive,

1:47:10 the mechanisms that we have for destruction are so wholesale and so frightening

1:47:16 that we can actually exterminate whole ecosystems without even noticing it.

1:47:22 That was David Attenborough speaking with Prince William Tuesday.

1:47:27 You might die.

1:47:28 He's not sounding the alarm about anything except population control.

1:47:34 Which is the true solution. We all know it is.

1:47:38 Which is not climate change.

1:47:39 No.

1:47:40 He didn't even use the word climate, change, global warming or anything in between.

1:47:45 it's more she's full of crap if she says that she makes this assertion that he's sounding the alarm

1:47:51 and he extended she plays a random clip more terrorizing of the american public particularly

1:47:58 the young ones it's i'm really going to start paying attention to this because there's a reason

1:48:04 why we have stories like the boy who cried wolf there's a reason why these stories work throughout

1:48:10 millennia

1:48:12 it's because it's true

1:48:14 if you keep saying

1:48:16 it's going to melt, it's going to rise

1:48:18 we're going to die, oh by the way

1:48:20 the hill bot, this was funny

1:48:23 she's like, you know every day

1:48:24 in Miami it's underwater

1:48:26 because of global warming

1:48:28 and Tina, I swear to God, she said

1:48:30 do you see fish flopping? Oh man, I love that woman

1:48:32 it was so funny

1:48:34 anyway

1:48:36 yeah, this is what it's doing

1:48:38 it's terrorizing everyone

1:48:40 and no one will believe you anymore and there may not be a reason to believe you because it's not

1:48:44 very apparent that what you're saying is true well i found it very disappointing i this is the first

1:48:50 uh whipsaw switchback i've heard her do i'm sure she's done them before i didn't realize she was

1:48:56 part of that click which is really headlined by cbs and the big networks but i do have a cbs one

1:49:03 okay um and this is a discussion of cohen and it's a little the president's lawyer who uh the

1:49:11 president lawyer not doesn't want to testify the guy's a douchebag it's pretty obvious but

1:49:15 now hold on for a second the date michael cohen yeah michael cohen uh he somehow we had that news

1:49:22 report that the president uh forced him to lie to congress and now he was supposed to uh testify in

1:49:29 front of uh in front of congress again uh but he says he says he's being threatened he's being

1:49:35 threatened and like a mob boss that's what i hear on msnbc oh yeah mafia practices nice president

1:49:42 they discussed that a little bit in this clip but then there you you see a there's a whipsaw in here

1:49:47 and it's like oh please president has repeatedly attacked him and he's a weak person but it used

1:49:53 to be cohen who was on the attack here he can be heard threatening a reporter who inquired about

1:49:58 aspects of Mr. Trump's first divorce. Cohen's testimony was highly anticipated as lawmakers

1:50:11 wanted to grill him about a now disputed BuzzFeed report that Mr. Trump directed Cohen to lie to

1:50:18 Congress. Democratic Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings has warned the president about intimidating

1:50:23 witnesses. I promise you that we will hear from Mr. Cohen. Congressional leaders have not decided

1:50:32 if they will subpoena Cohen, but they need to decide soon. Oh, brother. So they're taking him

1:50:38 down here in this report. That's interesting. So here's but here's the whipsaw. Elijah Cummings

1:50:44 has warned the president about intimidating witnesses. Yeah. Then they cut to him. Yeah.

1:50:51 you'd expect the cut to would be something to do with him warning or something.

1:50:55 And the clip is he says, they cut to him and he says,

1:50:59 oh, we're going to get him to testify, don't worry.

1:51:02 How is that warning the president about anything?

1:51:06 Let's listen.

1:51:07 Elijah Cummings has warned the president about intimidating witnesses.

1:51:10 I promise you that we will hear from Mr. Coyne.

1:51:16 Yes, totally, totally. Nailed it.

1:51:21 It's not about that at all.

1:51:22 So we have this situation, and I only catch a few of these.

1:51:27 It happens all the time.

1:51:28 Because most of it, they're designed to get into your subconscious, and the only thing designed to go into your subconscious is what the reporter says.

1:51:36 Right.

1:51:36 The reporter says, oh, and then he says he's going to eat the babies in the hospital.

1:51:40 And then they clip to the guy saying, you know, I've had two kids.

1:51:45 I got two kids.

1:51:46 I like them.

1:51:47 I love my kids.

1:51:48 Done.

1:51:48 Yeah.

1:51:49 And it's got – one doesn't equate with the other, and you wonder why your hillbot buddies are kind of confused and muddle-headed.

1:51:57 It's because of this crowd that keep doing this.

1:52:00 Yeah.

1:52:00 And you hear that as if it's proof, but it really has nothing to do with what was just planted in your head, and that gets shoved in there.

1:52:07 It's crazy.

1:52:08 Yeah.

1:52:09 It's crazy.

1:52:10 It's not healthy.

1:52:10 And I'm – like I said, I catch these, and I know I'm – because you don't catch them half the time when I'm playing.

1:52:16 I tell you there's one there.

1:52:18 I don't believe I must be only hearing about one out of 20.

1:52:21 And I because I'm always doing a lot of stuff running, driving the ship.

1:52:26 And I love listening to the show after we're done because I hear all these things that you're saying.

1:52:32 And sometimes it's funny and I'm so deadpan because I just didn't hear it.

1:52:35 I was doing something else.

1:52:36 And these but these whipsaws, I mean, that's the problem with these is when you really focus on them, you become that guy yelling at the TV.

1:52:47 i'm a little weird i've been that guy i've been yelling at the tv since i was a kid

1:52:51 i'm a little wary of that i'm trying to enjoy yelling at the tv i do it when i'm alone

1:52:59 oh i know i do it with the people around because i they say hey what what what do you want i'm

1:53:04 yelling at the tv don't pay any attention my problem is i'm trying to yell and tina's yelling

1:53:07 louder so i don't know what to do here's uh okay just a uh a quick little trip around the candidates

1:53:14 for 2020 because we're going to be killed with this for the next two years which is probably

1:53:18 going to kill the show we won't be able to survive it until we find out who won just because it's so

1:53:24 debilitating um so we need to take people out we need to you know frame people a certain way

1:53:32 let us start well actually uh kirsten gillibrand gillibrand or gillibrand it's gillibrand or

1:53:40 gillibrand so she had to go on the apology tour because this is how it kind of works today in

1:53:47 in left wing leftist media all media i would say is oh you want to run well hold on you want to

1:53:54 host a show oh first we got to go back into your history find something that you did that was

1:54:01 abhorrent and we're going to force you to apologize about it and then maybe we'll consider

1:54:08 you to be one of our candidates so cnn is doing their vetting they've you know we had uh so they

1:54:14 they had the three b's beto biden and bernie bernie those are kind of on the back burner for

1:54:22 now and now they're trying to flesh out the rest of the field gillibrand and this is a super cuts

1:54:27 montage i didn't do it myself so they they put a song under it but it's still funny it's only a

1:54:31 minute this is the the gillibrand apology tour because she was so wrong about so many things

1:54:39 including her a rating of the nra and uh you know she's really she really was kind of all in with

1:54:45 border security and that was very racist so you want to run for 2020 you have to apologize if

1:54:52 trump's immigration positions are racist were they racist when you held some of those positions as

1:54:57 well they certainly weren't empathetic and they were not kind i was callous to the suffering of

1:55:03 families who want to be with their loved ones i just knew i was wrong i couldn't have been more

1:55:08 wrong i was wrong to feel that way i was wrong i realized that things i had said were wrong i think

1:55:14 it's important to know when you're wrong that's why i was embarrassed i hadn't really spent the

1:55:18 time to hear those kind of stories and that was my fault i was not fighting for other people's

1:55:24 kids the same way I was fighting for my own. I recognized I didn't know everything about the

1:55:28 whole state, something that I'm embarrassed about and I'm ashamed of. I came from a district that

1:55:32 was 98 percent white. We have immigrants, but not a lot of immigrants. I really regretted that I

1:55:38 didn't look beyond my district. I did not think about suffering in other people's lives. I was

1:55:42 not caring about others. When you were representing a district in Congress, you had an A-plus rating

1:55:48 from them. Were they engaged in all of that bad stuff back then? They sure were. And now I have

1:55:54 an f rating can you understand president trump's position on immigration since you were there no

1:56:00 i think his positions are racist yes the punchline that was very well done by whoever did it that's

1:56:09 the super cuts guys super cuts well they did a good job putting throwing that little jab in the

1:56:13 end that was good so now we have i think she's disqualified because she said in that rundown

1:56:18 she said important she's off right oh yeah no i heard it i heard it important i love how you know

1:56:26 leaders of this country really show that you know you can follow my example because i went for that

1:56:33 f that's the grade i'm going for from a to f elizabeth warren has been uh cranking up the

1:56:40 instagram and her attempt uh to capture some of the i think the uh the young millennial audience

1:56:46 maybe some of the aoc audience and she's taking it one step further if you want to get millennials

1:56:51 what do you need what do you need we talk about it all the time a beard it's not babies

1:56:59 a dog yes so she takes us she takes her dog on the road now her dog bailey bailey

1:57:10 uh but and so bailey has bailey cam i mean we're we're actually just trying to i mean we're going

1:57:19 to fall in love with the dog the dog is adorable no doubt about it and everyone's and bailey's got

1:57:24 a camera so it's bailey cam but she goes so far this dog when you say a dog's adorable i get what

1:57:30 i'm sorry i should have said he's adorbs uh there you go but listen how she introduces bailey and

1:57:38 her schmuck husband this is bailey's first political event i hope bailey behaves himself

1:57:43 here today i thought i'd bring the two guys in my life bruce and bailey anybody wants to stay

1:57:51 around and take a picture so their husband has been downgraded to a dog the two guys in my life

1:57:59 bruce and bailey i'll be here and we can do that and bailey will be out there with his own separate

1:58:05 photo wine this is not a competition the dog's on stage

1:58:14 there's everyone fawning over the dog

1:58:22 notice by the way this is a produced video on instagram with the music mixed in

1:58:35 and everything did you did you find your dog yeah he's adorbs isn't he it's it's uh it's a good

1:58:43 looking dog i would say yeah he's adorbs so that's her tactic that's her strategy for now or a tactic

1:58:50 in her strategy kids that's what i'm looking i'm looking her up oh that's a good question i don't

1:58:55 actually know she doesn't have children she doesn't get much she does have children she's got

1:58:58 amelia and alexander she's got a boy and a girl perfect fit you know two two kids and boy and a

1:59:05 girl and i'm guessing uh but the dog is more important i guess much more important and that's

1:59:13 what the kids want the kids love it it's watch for the bailey cam bailey is it now the third

1:59:19 clip and final one i have for today's 2020 rundown is kamala harris or she's that's kamala she says

1:59:26 kamala now kamala announced that i think howard university black university i would like to remind

1:59:34 you that she was born in oakland of a jamaican father an indian mother and grew up in canada

1:59:47 in ottawa she is not an african-american but she has a lot of things going for her

1:59:54 Her sister, Maya Harris, is an MSNBC commentator.

1:59:59 Her dad, I think her parents divorced.

2:00:05 That's why she moved to Oakland, away from Canada.

2:00:07 Her dad is a professor at Stanford with tenure.

2:00:11 And her sister's husband is Tony West.

2:00:16 He is general counsel at Uber.

2:00:18 Now, this is the Silicon Valley candidate, I believe.

2:00:22 Makes sense.

2:00:23 They got the MSNBC tie in. They got the Silicon Valley tie in with Uber and her brother.

2:00:28 And she's in California. The issue, of course, is we need to present her in the same light that we presented Barack Obama, who also was not African-American.

2:00:39 He was Indonesian, half Indonesian, half white. So they need to kind of set the stage.

2:00:47 and chris matthews did a piece with i forget the guy's name uh black commentator on msnbc

2:00:55 and you'll get the idea once you hear the clip let's talk about today according to politico

2:00:59 harris's announcement on martin luther king jr day was steeped in symbolism her aide said the

2:01:04 red and yellow color scheme by the way for harris's campaign logo was inspired by former

2:01:08 representative shirley chisholm of new york whose 1972 run for president was the first by a black

2:01:14 woman from a major political party harris's video by the way outlines the theme of the career

2:01:18 prosecutor's candidacy for the people ruth let's talk about this uh let me go to jamal i gotta go

2:01:24 jamal on this for obvious reasons i gotta go to you because you're black for obvious reasons how

2:01:31 racist is that i gotta go jamal on this for obvious reasons i get the feeling that she's

2:01:38 gonna head and set up her headquarters in baltimore yeah largely african-american town

2:01:42 yeah uh she's uh i don't understand that i'll explain i don't i don't understand why she's in

2:01:47 baltimore she's from oakland so she should be you know now listen to what chris matthews asks

2:01:51 uh well she wants to win the south carolina primary that's what i did so put her put a

2:01:56 headquarters in south carolina i think that listen i think that she's got a lot of strengths here

2:01:59 she is she's got a bio she's got a record she's a prosecutor with a heart she's got a lot to deal

2:02:04 with keeping people out of recidivism is she seen as african-american is the organization that she

2:02:11 pulls up. Yes, I think she's seen as African-American.

2:02:13 The fact she was at Howard University today,

2:02:15 one of the oldest, they called

2:02:17 themselves the oldest. I went to Morehouse. I think we're a little bit older.

2:02:19 But she's at Howard

2:02:21 University today when she

2:02:22 did her announcement at a press conference.

2:02:25 She's going to South Carolina in the first

2:02:27 week. She's really

2:02:29 planting her feet in the African-American community.

2:02:31 I think she's going to be a very strong candidate.

2:02:33 This is cultural

2:02:35 appropriation of an incredible

2:02:37 magnitude. She does not have the

2:02:39 african-american heritage she does not have the african-american experience she grew up in ottawa

2:02:45 and yet hey well can someone will drop that the appropriation bomb on her this has to happen

2:02:54 bullcrap no way no way okay what did mark this time and you said no way i say way

2:04:31 people why would it be any different and i was talking to a good friend of mine the other day

2:04:37 and silicon valley guy billionaire he says uh i said clinton's gonna win because he was thinking

2:04:44 kamala harris maybe has some shot it makes which lines up with your thesis that she's a silicon

2:04:49 Valley pick. And they do a crappy job of picking, by the way. And it says Hillary because of return

2:04:55 on investment. They put too much money into Hillary. That's a good point. We'll talk about

2:13:03 I think this is a different guy.

2:13:04 This guy's in Bahrain.

2:13:06 With this donation, I finally achieved a great milestone with the best podcast in the universe,

2:13:10 Knighthood.

2:13:11 I'm proud to serve the show in all possible ways as boots on the ground resource, associate

2:13:15 producer, artist, show 760, inventor of the phrase dude named Bahamut, and now knight.

2:14:00 Yes, you do.

2:14:01 Since for us brown in sandy areas, can we use an alternative ranking system like Sheikh

2:14:06 Emir Khalif?

2:14:08 And the answer is no.

2:14:10 I do feel you need to read this next note from Jason from Boise.

2:14:16 Jason from Boise, 5151 Boise, Idaho.

2:14:23 I am T in mourning the gents.

2:14:27 Thank you both for putting out a truly superior product.

2:14:30 This donation was inspired by a reminder that propped up on my phone regarding the best bet John made with Adam on show 1058, which you never lose.

2:14:40 Adam predicted that Black Panthers would be nominated for an Oscar for the best picture because the Academy Award was too chicken shit, not to mention it in today's hyper politicized climate.

2:14:52 Sean disagreed and bet Adam five bucks it would not be nominated.

2:14:58 Wrong again, Dvorak.

2:15:00 You can't even say in a group of people, yeah, I think the movie was no good.

2:15:05 I couldn't get through it.

2:15:06 Audible gasp.

2:15:09 Racist.

2:15:11 So here, but they're stupid because now it's going to get worse because I can predict,

2:15:16 I think what will happen, Black Panther will be nominated in Best Movie and Popular Movie.

2:15:21 It'll win popular.

2:15:22 It won't win best movie.

2:15:24 The Academy thinks, okay, well, we gave them an award, so we're all done with the racist thing.

2:15:28 But there's going to be huge backlash and outrage about it not being the best movie, racist, Hollywood.

2:15:35 It's going to be fun to watch.

2:15:37 And they're just pussies.

2:15:39 That's why they brought this whole stupid category in.

2:15:42 For years, people have been-

2:15:44 Well, they're not getting nominated for best picture.

2:15:46 I bet you they do.

2:15:47 Five bucks.

2:15:50 Five bucks it is.

2:15:51 your own all right the guy who just 15 minutes ago just 15 minutes ago you said you never lose

2:15:59 well i didn't realize that this one it was a bit that i actually made so now i take it back i've

2:16:03 lost once now and i want i don't want like through the bank i want an actual five crisp five dollar

2:16:10 bill in the mail for you i'll put it in the mail yes you could frame now um i will say this your

2:16:17 Your little notion that it's going to win something was not correct because it hasn't won any of the popular awards.

2:16:22 I didn't say that.

2:16:23 I said it would be nominated.

2:16:25 No, you go back further in your – that was the bet.

2:16:28 But further earlier in your commentary, you said it will be nominated.

2:16:32 It will win some popular award.

2:16:34 No, listen.

2:16:34 I didn't pull the whole clip because it was going to take too long, but now you're trying to welch on the bet.

2:16:39 I'll explain it.

2:16:40 Hold on.

2:16:41 I'm not welching on the bet.

2:16:42 I'm saying earlier in your commentary that you just played.

2:16:45 Yes, I know exactly.

2:16:47 it will win a popular award but it won't john john listen the con the discussion was about

2:16:54 a possible new category which did not materialize and i said it will be nominated for both they'll

2:17:00 give them the bullshit award and they'll just nominate it for best picture and the bet was

2:17:04 about being nominated for best picture yeah okay all right sore loser i won't comment on that

2:17:14 Nasty remark.

2:17:15 Nasty?

2:17:17 Okay.

2:17:19 Anyway, he goes on and says something else.

2:17:22 No, he already did the most important part.

2:17:24 Yeah, well, thank you.

2:17:26 Hey, Jason, thanks for nothing, okay?

2:17:28 That wouldn't have come up in today's conversation at all.

2:17:32 That's right.

2:17:32 If it wasn't for you.

2:17:34 And your handy alarm that you set on your phone.

2:18:41 All right.

2:18:41 That concludes our donors and well-wishers and finks and show 1106.

2:18:48 Finks?

2:18:49 I haven't heard the word fink in years.

2:18:52 Very good.

2:18:53 You fink.

2:18:54 We've got to reintroduce fink.

2:18:56 Yeah.

2:18:57 Isn't that just like a tattletale?

2:18:59 Yeah, snitch.

2:19:00 Snitch, fink.

2:19:01 I love fink.

2:19:02 Fink.

2:19:03 Underutilized word.

2:19:04 Well, thank you very much to everyone who also came in under $50 for their keeping themselves anonymous,

2:19:11 which is the only way we can really make sure you're anonymous.

2:19:13 And everyone who's on subscriptions, we appreciate it.

2:19:16 This is the only way it can work.

2:19:18 We are not swayed by any commercial interest

2:19:20 because it is the producers who also happen to be listeners of this show

2:19:24 who make it all go around, and we appreciate that.

2:19:28 Reminder, 22nd of February, we have the Des Moines, Iowa meetup.

2:19:32 Go to meetup.com, find out more.

2:19:34 We're still very excited about the March 2nd meetup in Austin.

2:19:39 It's the Big Texas Meetup at Austin Beer Works.

2:19:41 I think we're going to start around 3.30.

2:19:44 Isn't that kind of the time to start?

2:19:45 3.30 on a Saturday?

2:19:47 I do the meetups on Fridays, and we start them at 5 or 6.

2:19:50 But this is a Saturday.

2:19:51 I don't know that I've done one in recent memory.

2:19:55 Okay.

2:19:55 And also, after we had that whole conversation.

2:19:58 I'd say Saturday, probably 3 is probably good.

2:20:00 I don't know.

2:20:01 I think 3.30 is what I just kind of pegged.

2:20:03 Yeah, because then people, if they have to kind of come into town,

2:20:05 they can go to the meetup and then go out to dinner.

2:20:07 One of the fine restaurants, overpriced hippie joints, or I'm sorry, hipster joints in the Austin area.

2:20:14 There's tons of them.

2:20:15 Yes.

2:20:15 The latest is Loro, which is Korean barbecue.

2:20:20 This is now the hot thing in Austin.

2:20:22 Korean barbecue.

2:20:24 That's the end of the road for the whole thing.

2:20:27 It's quite tasty.

2:20:29 Oh, of course it is.

2:20:30 You got bulgogi.

2:20:31 They got a cooking thing in front of you.

2:20:33 You're cooking it there.

2:20:34 You're throwing some garlic.

2:20:36 Do they have the lettuce leaves?

2:20:37 Is it a real Korean style where you cook your barbecue right in front of you and then you put a bunch of kind of mild garlic and cook that up and then you take the pieces and you put it in a lettuce leaf and roll it up and eat it?

2:20:49 No, that's entirely not what it is.

2:20:51 Okay, well then it's not very Korean.

2:20:53 No, it's not Korean at all.

2:20:55 It's like a traditional barbecue place where you order at the bar and then there's all benches, you know, like picnic tables.

2:21:01 And so they just, they got it, you know, they got it whipped up, ready to go.

2:21:05 so it's Korean brisket.

2:21:06 I mean, it's just a barbecue place,

2:21:08 and they put some Korean letters on it,

2:21:11 and it's good to go,

2:21:11 and they charge more.

2:21:12 Ah, good bit.

2:21:14 Former New York banker.

2:21:15 He took me there last night.

2:21:17 Did he have a report?

2:21:20 No, he had nothing.

2:21:21 He had nothing for the show.

2:21:24 Nothing.

2:21:25 It was a dud, and I paid.

2:21:27 How stupid am I now?

2:21:28 Well, you got to invest a little bit to get anything.

2:21:33 You got to do it again.

2:21:34 Well, we have another dinner coming up.

2:21:36 How was the food at that place?

2:21:39 The food was good.

2:21:40 Yeah, it was very tasty.

2:21:42 Okay, good.

2:21:43 Anyway, we're known for doing this show twice a week,

2:21:47 so we'll have another one on Sunday.

2:21:49 And we'd like you to support us so that we can continue doing this show

2:21:52 and the deconstruction you love so much.

2:21:54 www.thevorac.org

2:21:56 Lots of karmers to go around.

2:21:59 Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

2:22:02 Let's vote for jobs.

2:22:04 You've got karma.

2:22:08 Here's our list.

2:22:18 Only three on it for the 24th of January, 2019.

2:22:21 The No Agenda Birthday is William Durkin says happy birthday to his twin sister, Beth, his nephew, Patrick, and himself.

2:22:26 He is actually celebrating today.

2:22:29 We say happy birthday to you, sir.

2:22:30 Malinowski. We'll be celebrating in two

2:22:32 days from now on the 26th, and

2:22:35 Ronald Schull turns

2:22:38 from everybody here at the best podcast

2:22:40 in the universe.

2:22:41 Now, we do have a black

2:22:44 night, although I

2:22:46 wrote a memo to myself

2:22:48 to mark this

2:22:50 down because we forgot

2:22:52 Buford K.

2:22:54 Now, he's not

2:22:56 marked as a black knight, but I went through the whole

2:22:58 you know, it was, I think

2:23:00 A month almost since we said he was going to be knighted and he didn't get knighted.

2:23:04 Anyway, he's on the list now.

2:23:06 Once you fall into the black hole of black knighthood.

2:23:10 It's bad.

2:23:10 It could go on for months.

2:23:12 You won't get knighted.

2:23:13 That's why it's a real – it's an act of valor to become a black knight.

2:23:19 I'm actually – I consider this a fractal of all of society because sometimes people will get a parking ticket and then they don't – they forget about it.

2:23:29 the next thing you know it's your car's gone your car's got a boot on it before you know it you're

2:23:36 in jail we have uh so we got two dudes named muhammad we have uh brian whiffles and buford k

2:24:45 The info will get it out to you.

2:24:46 The new rings are on the way with the sealing wax, the signet ring, of course,

2:24:50 and your certificate thank you again for supporting the show dvorak.org slash na youtube can be a night

2:24:57 one day so it's the patriots versus the rams yeah just as i just missed it my prediction at the very

2:25:06 beginning of the season was the chiefs versus the rams and i thought the chiefs were going to pull

2:25:11 it off but they couldn't uh for a lot of different reasons the patriots are in there again and if

2:25:16 it's going to be a game of talent the rams should win but i don't think they can out i mean it's

2:25:21 going to be a coach great coaching versus i think superior talent now we typically look at these

2:25:26 things based on a political or geopolitical uh geopolitical nature at sports games considering

2:25:32 most of them are rigged uh what i don't know about much about the rams is that the los angeles rams

2:25:40 yes the los angeles just moved to los angeles from st louis where they moved from los angeles

2:25:45 from to get to St. Louis.

2:25:46 It was Los Angeles, then St. Louis,

2:25:48 now they're back in L.A.

2:25:49 Technically, because it's a bigger market

2:25:52 and they're trying to boost football interest

2:25:56 in Los Angeles,

2:25:56 I would see if it was a rigged game,

2:25:58 the Rams would win for sure.

2:26:00 Because Boston's got nothing going on.

2:26:02 And it may be the rigged game

2:26:06 has already taken place,

2:26:07 which was letting the Patriots beat the Chiefs

2:26:10 because the Chiefs and the Rams,

2:26:12 which gave us a game earlier in the year

2:26:14 that was something like 58-57.

2:26:17 It was an outrageous game of just nothing but nonstop scoring by both teams.

2:26:22 I don't think they wanted a replay of that.

2:26:26 So you think it's going to be Patriots?

2:26:29 No, I think it's going to be the Rams

2:26:31 because they need to boost the Los Angeles fortunes of football.

2:26:34 I think it's going to be the Rams as well,

2:26:36 but maybe not for the same reasons you cite.

2:26:38 First of all, the Patriots are obviously nationalists,

2:26:42 so you can't win.

2:26:43 You're a nationalist.

2:26:44 You cannot win.

2:26:45 And the Rams, I mean, what does a Ram remind you of?

2:26:49 Exactly.

2:26:51 It's goat power.

2:26:52 Goat power.

2:26:54 The goats will win this year.

2:26:58 Well, greatest of all time.

2:27:00 So anyway, it's going to be a good game, I think.

2:27:04 Yeah.

2:27:05 Except for...

2:27:07 I'm a big fan of the Rams.

2:27:08 Maroon 5.

2:27:09 Isn't Maroon 5 doing the halftime show?

2:27:13 Oh, God.

2:27:14 All my lib joke has locally.

2:27:17 You have to either root for the Raiders or the 49ers,

2:27:20 specifically the 49ers if you're a liberal.

2:27:22 No, I'm rooting for the Rams because the Rams have the old

2:27:27 University of California quarterback, and I'm a big fan of his.

2:27:31 You teased something in the newsletter which hasn't come up,

2:27:34 so maybe I can spur you on with this.

2:27:37 Now, you didn't have any clips.

2:27:41 I do have a couple clips I'd like to play.

2:27:42 really just two maybe three uh first we'll just play the news bit and then i'm sure you'll come

2:27:48 in uh this is about this is our little aoc segment and why isn't it playing there we go a few

2:27:53 progressive names now given significant positions on a powerful committee the house oversight

2:27:58 committee adding congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and other freshman progressives

2:28:03 to its ranks arizona republican andy biggs is on the house judiciary committee sir how you doing

2:28:08 Morning to you. Thank you for your time.

2:28:10 What do you think this means?

2:28:11 Well, I think it's indicative of the direction that this Congress is going to go with the Democrats.

2:28:18 Their goal, they've stated this, they want to, at the bare minimum, embarrass this president.

2:28:23 If possible, they want to fully delegitimize the administration.

2:28:26 And certainly the ultimate goal is to either impeach or force this president out of office.

2:28:30 And I think the OGR committee, which is going to be very, very involved in investigations,

2:28:37 They've just named four people who I think have that agenda for the Democrats.

2:28:41 OGR government reform, correct?

2:28:42 Yes, that's right.

2:28:43 Okay, I'm just reading this from Reuters now.

2:28:45 House Democrats turbocharged committee probes at Trump.

2:28:48 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have quietly tweaked a rule on taking secret depositions

2:28:53 that will let staffers of House investigative committees take testimony from subpoena witnesses

2:28:58 without a lawmaker being present, end quote.

2:29:01 How significant of a change could that be?

2:29:03 Well, what it does is it allows the staff to do two things.

2:29:07 bringing in a whole lot more people to investigate and depose.

2:29:11 So that's going to create a logjam.

2:29:13 But the second thing it does, it allows to essentially freeze the Republicans out in some meaningful way,

2:29:19 where sometimes the deposition is the only way we can get at the other side of the story, so to speak.

2:29:24 So we're not going to be able to cross-examine witnesses and get the full story out.

2:29:28 So what I'm seeing is AOC and other troublemakers are being put on these committees.

2:29:36 This is oversight, but also the finance committee, which will be run by Maxine Waters.

2:29:41 And they're going to give them these great subpoena powers, which even staffers can now use.

2:29:46 This is this is to be the Trump hit squad or something.

2:29:50 Well, I always think I saw this going on.

2:29:55 I saw the latest one. And that's when I that's why I tease in the newsletter.

2:29:58 She got on this particular committee after being on the Maxine Waters committee.

2:30:02 I was under the impression when we first started seeing this woman come in out of the blue, AOC, that she was going to be sidelined like they do with a lot of people that are making too much noise and kind of an embarrassment.

2:30:16 Right.

2:30:16 Pelosi being a genius at some level, she's decided, no, let's do just the opposite.

2:30:22 Let's put her on these big committees where she can really make a scene.

2:30:26 With subpoena power.

2:30:27 Yes, subpoena power and all this other thing.

2:30:30 So she will either be a big benefit because she's going to ask a lot of tough questions, which I doubt, or she's just going to make a fool out of herself and then she'll have to be relegated to some lesser position.

2:30:43 I think Pelosi's letting these – and by the way, those other ones that are on this last committee, the government oversight committee, they're all also justice Democrats.

2:30:53 Yes, yes, yes.

2:30:55 We didn't discuss enough on the last show that the fact that this little operation was started by Chunk and his buddy and they both got kicked off because they were, they were, because they weren't on board with six years ago.

2:31:08 Somebody said something that was misconstrued.

2:31:11 Chunk, you know, he went through the rigmarole, but I think it's, this is, this to me, AOC, she is backed.

2:31:18 She is backed by something very big.

2:31:21 It feels a lot like the Obama plan, certainly the timing of it.

2:31:26 It's just too stupid.

2:31:26 Obama is actually quite bright.

2:31:27 Okay, so a couple things, because I've run into this.

2:31:31 When I talk about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which I'm going to do, and it's going to be

2:31:36 happening a lot more in the future, I just want you, John, you, to understand I don't

2:31:42 love her policies.

2:31:43 I'm not a fanboy.

2:31:44 I get this from everybody now, just because I'm trying to point out that she's something

2:31:49 to watch.

2:31:50 So you're getting a little sensitive about this little fanboy thing?

2:31:52 Well, what I don't want, I'll tell you why.

2:31:54 Because we just went through that two and a half years with Trump.

2:31:57 I'm a little sick of it, yeah.

2:31:59 Yeah.

2:32:00 So I don't want that.

2:32:02 And it's interesting, the same, not you, but when I would say, hey, Trump's going to make it all the way,

2:32:07 then people are like, oh, you're a fanboy, Trump, and of course I was right.

2:32:11 Now, the same people who agreed with me on this are like, oh, you're a fanboy for AOC.

2:32:19 It's just, it's mind-boggling.

2:32:21 I'm just pointing out that she's a force to be reckoned with.

2:32:23 You can say she's stupid every single time if you want.

2:32:26 I will.

2:32:27 I don't think she's stupid, and I want you to listen to at least one clip, and if you want to hear more, I've got more.

2:32:31 Because on Martin Luther King Day, she did a sit-down interview in the East Riverside Church, which is a huge church.

2:32:38 It's in Harlem, stacked to the gills, and she was interviewed by, what's it, Tanehisi Coates?

2:32:48 He's the superstar – he wrote the Black Panther comic series, but he's written a whole bunch of – very famous author.

2:32:55 Okay.

2:32:56 Never heard of him.

2:32:57 I had to look him up.

2:33:00 He's very – let me just see.

2:33:02 I have it here maybe.

2:33:03 Okay.

2:33:03 I'm sure he's got a huge fan base, and he's probably famous.

2:33:06 We don't know every famous person that has niche fame.

2:33:10 He's famous, and he's black, and he's loved by the community.

2:33:17 So in this clip, this is what leads up to the clip that everyone was excoriating her for about the 12 years we're going to be dead from climate change and the way everyone aired it, including Tucker Carlson is and what you would probably have said is she says, well, in 12 years, we'll be dead from the world is going to be dead from climate change.

2:33:37 and everyone's like she's stupid what an idiot yes but in context and that's why i want to play

2:33:44 this whole clip she's talking about what i've been talking about is the terrorization of millennials

2:33:51 into believing that the world is going to end and she is she is leading a pack of and i've and this

2:34:00 it's going to be very interesting she's leading a pack of young people who can vote already or

2:34:05 next year and she is the pied piper of the millennials and she's definitely a force to

2:34:11 be reckoned with so here we'll talk about um in this one clip it'll take us up to the climate

2:34:16 change stupidity remark about her social media her clap backs which is a hood slang for you and me

2:34:24 john about when you slam somebody you know like a butt slam like hey i just slammed you what's

2:34:30 interesting about it is that she only does this to blue check mark people so listen to aoc i think

2:34:38 she's anything but stupid in her quest to lead the millennials one of the things that i love

2:34:45 about your use of social media and one of the things that makes me scared um is man you you

2:34:51 clap back at these fools man you let them yo you be letting them have it and

2:34:57 yeah what's the ocasio-cortez standard i i had some of our organizers ask me this and i told

2:35:05 the joke that you hear that some of our organizers so she has this she has a team she's got a team

2:35:11 she's got organizers and money there's money flowing there let them have it and

2:35:16 hey i'm gonna ask for two and a half minutes instead of mocking the whole way through just

2:35:26 listen and then you can mock her afterwards i just want you to listen because otherwise you

2:35:31 miss stuff our organizers asked me this and i told the joke that basically it's like whoever's

2:35:36 coming at me in my mentions with a blue check when i haven't eaten in three hours is who gets

2:35:44 chosen. Um, I, I get woozy. So it's kind of just, you know, but it's also, uh, it's also,

2:35:53 it's like, what frame that we've taken for granted for so long, should we be dismantling?

2:36:01 And when the, a really good example comes up, that's when I do that, because when I clap back,

2:36:09 It's not just reflexive self-defense.

2:36:12 I'm trying to dismantle some of the frames of misogyny, classism, racism that we've just allowed to go on.

2:36:21 And I wish I didn't have to do this, to be frank.

2:36:25 I wish I didn't have to.

2:36:27 But I feel like in our public conversation, we've abandoned the posts of responsibility for a very, very long time.

2:36:40 And we've allowed so much nonsense to go unchecked because someone has a Harvard degree and they're saying something or because someone comes from a certain family.

2:36:51 understand because someone has this like reputable pedigree that the pedigree a person has legitimizes

2:36:58 anything that comes out of their mouth and uh and i think that the part of it that is generational

2:37:09 is that millennials and people and you know gen z and all these folks that come after us

2:37:16 are looking up and we're like the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate

2:37:22 change and your biggest issue is your your biggest issue is how are we going to pay for it and like

2:37:33 this is the war this is our world war ii and it i think for younger people we're looking at this

2:37:41 And we're like, how are we saying let's take it easy when the nth person has just died from our cruel and unjust criminal justice system?

2:37:50 How are we saying take it easy when the America that we're living in today is so dystopian with people sleeping in their cars so that they can work a second job without health care?

2:38:00 And we're told to settle down. It's a fundamental separation between that fierce urgency of now, the why we can't wait that King spoke of, that at some point these chronic realities do reach a breaking point.

2:38:20 And I think for our generation, it's reached that. And I wish I didn't have to be, you know, doing every post.

2:38:28 But sometimes I I just feel like people aren't being held accountable.

2:38:34 And until we all start pitching in and holding people accountable, I'm just going to let them have it.

2:38:44 Very, very interesting to see the troll room as well.

2:38:50 Everyone's like, you can't wait to slam her down.

2:38:54 I'm just going to say this woman speaks for a generation that was educated in the same way.

2:39:01 This indoctrination that she's received is a whole generation of people, of voters who are coming up and it's going to be really, really scary when they get into real power.

2:39:12 And she's leading it right now.

2:39:14 Yeah.

2:39:15 Okay.

2:39:17 Well, thanks for the clip.

2:39:19 I still think she's an idiot.

2:39:23 And the 12-year thing I didn't realize was actually she was – I thought she maybe was joking around and just threw it in and they liked it right on her.

2:39:31 But she said it was our World War II.

2:39:33 Climate is our World War II.

2:39:35 Yeah.

2:39:35 That's how it's been – that's what she believes.

2:39:39 That's what these children all believe.

2:39:40 Well, luckily not all of them.

2:39:44 Yeah, the ones in Austin, the ones in California, the ones in New York.

2:39:49 Luckily, there's some kids, other places that maybe have gotten a better education than that.

2:39:55 Oh, it's actually the, okay, it's the Ivy League schools where this is coming from.

2:40:01 Oh, I'm not going to argue that.

2:40:03 Yeah.

2:40:03 The Ivy League schools may have been shooting themselves in the head.

2:40:07 But it's also in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

2:40:09 It's everywhere.

2:40:10 All higher learning institutions have have brought this social justice warrior and all of this stuff into these children.

2:40:19 You know, she's talking about framing the power, all of this stuff.

2:40:22 And she's there now and she's going to hold that door open and a lot more going to come in.

2:40:27 And she's not stupid.

2:40:29 She's just educated.

2:40:31 Which is worse than stupid in America.

2:40:34 Probably.

2:40:38 All right.

2:40:40 We'll see how that goes.

2:40:41 I have a couple of ISOs for consideration for the end of the show.

2:40:45 And this first one works out perfectly.

2:40:49 Kind of, I don't know if I have the shortest short version of it.

2:40:56 But, yeah, I do.

2:40:57 And I think it applies to what we just heard.

2:40:59 This is Peterson.

2:41:00 That's wrong.

2:41:02 Not bad.

2:41:06 Not bad.

2:41:07 I was thinking of using the triggered, actually.

2:41:10 and then i have judy on iso huh fascinating

2:41:13 i i was going to use this one i am triggered i'm so triggered i think peterson is best actually

2:41:23 that's wrong yeah i think peterson nails it well i like the judy one especially again after that

2:41:29 last the little clip you played because it's like it's so blasΓ© huh fascinating

2:41:35 no it won't it won't sound good in the end of show mix it's got to be the peterson it's better

2:41:42 yeah you're probably right yeah because he's more adamant it comes from me by the way the

2:41:46 peterson one comes from he says this all the time uh this is his main complaint it's one of his

2:41:53 thesis is very sick six second clip jordan peterson main complaint no there isn't a job

2:41:59 for everyone and no you can't train everyone to do everything that's wrong i have another

2:42:06 peterson clip about his uh about his new service uh you know he's leaving or i guess he's left

2:42:13 patreon yeah and now he uh he's setting something else up it's just uh just a minute to listen to

2:42:19 his thinking and he says some stuff that we would agree with yeah well you know i think the

2:42:23 subscription model the private subscription model is not a bad one because it does leave things

2:42:28 under your control and part of the way that um you know part of the way that people like me and

2:42:36 ruben and some of the other people that are associated with this hypothetical intellectual

2:42:40 dark web have survived to some degree is by not having any um any corporate masters right and so

2:42:48 preserving that which is which makes the whole idea of the intellectual dark web kind of suspect

2:42:55 in and of itself because it indicates a grouping of sorts but everybody has their own private

2:43:01 fiefdom in some sense and that does offer a certain amount of protection i'm experimenting

2:43:05 at the moment with the production of a system that would serve as an alternative to patreon but

2:43:11 and it's well underway i don't know when it'll be launched because software development is a

2:43:16 tricky business but i would suspect in the next couple of months and we're hoping that we might

2:43:21 be able to figure out how to solve some of the problems that patron ran into at least we're going

2:43:25 to do our best not to throw people off arbitrarily you know good luck with that why doesn't good luck

2:43:35 first of all if he says the term as software development is a tricky business that's there

2:43:40 you go he's gonna when he says two months we're talking two years somebody is charging him money

2:43:46 yes somebody's charging him money and they'll be charging him money for the next two years

2:43:50 they may be getting out of india who knows i mean there's a lot of ways to go i it seems to me

2:43:55 that if i was going to do this if i was him i would just clone patreon just clone it and just

2:44:03 have a different policy what's why does he why does the whole mechanism have to be different

2:44:08 because some of the problems there's no inherent problems with patreon no the problem is the

2:44:14 processing it's mastercard mastercard threw everybody off not patreon they're just they're

2:44:18 just a stooge in the middle or go to some other system and they're just a stooge in yeah but

2:44:23 okay there's only so many payment processors you can use we like checks we like bank transfers

2:44:31 we like we like checks yeah this is the way to go yeah they don't have a targeted so much stupid

2:44:36 stuff yeah that was he's not this is just i don't know why he's doing this so we have a couple of

2:44:42 issues coming up we got the uh new uh census question i could i'm gonna skip that uh here is

2:44:50 you heard about the Islamberg attack thwarted, which I think is an FBI six-week cycle. I don't

2:44:56 know if anyone's keeping track of the dates, but this looked like a six-week cycle scam.

2:45:01 It didn't get any much ink. In the New York town of Greece, police arrested three men and a minor

2:45:07 on suspicion of plotting an attack on a local Muslim community. The suspects were said to be

2:45:13 in possession of multiple improvised explosive devices and firearms and were charged with

2:45:17 criminal possession of a weapon and conspiracy. The suspects were allegedly planning to attack

2:45:23 the small community of Islamberg in upstate New York. Police discovered the plot after the

2:45:28 unidentified 16-year-old suspect made a comment to a fellow student about a school shooter.

2:45:32 The other suspects are 19-year-old Vincent Vetromil and 20-year-old Brian Culinary and

2:45:38 18-year-old Andrew Crystal. Police say the attack was planned on the gaming chat platform called

2:45:44 discord no there was a six-week cycle and we missed it it was two weeks ago we completely

2:45:51 missed it this guy the guy from georgia here he is according to this affidavit the fbi investigation

2:45:58 started with a tip from a community member the person told police that 21 year old hasher toheb

2:46:05 had been radicalized and changed his name another example of how important it is to contact law

2:46:11 enforcement if you see or hear something suspicious. That tip came nearly a year ago.

2:46:16 Mind you, a year ago the tip came in. And culminated today as agents swarmed Teheb's

2:46:22 home outside Atlanta. Before this, documents show an FBI informant and undercover employee

2:46:29 partnered with Teheb and made him believe they would take part in the attack. For a year. For a

2:46:35 year. Led's intent was to attack the White House for a year and other targets of opportunity in

2:46:40 the Washington, D.C. area by using explosive devices, including an improvised explosive device,

2:46:46 an anti-tank rocket. Documents say Taheb wanted to blow a hole in the White House

2:46:52 and take down as many people as possible. He allegedly showed off hand-drawn diagrams of the

2:46:59 West Wing. Investigators say Taheb also planned to attack the Washington Monument, the Lincoln

2:47:05 memorial and a specific synagogue that's not named notice not named that chicken shit fbi

2:47:12 didn't want to make any trouble to have said that jihad was an obligation he wanted to do as much

2:47:17 damage as possible and was ready to die as a martyr as i mentioned it was earlier today to

2:47:23 have thought he was trading his car for a bunch of weapons those were fakes brought in by the fbi

2:47:28 to have was arrested after that and jim he is now facing a charge of planning to blow up a federal

2:47:35 building so they this this schmuck for a year you were talking about probably a guy with now i want

2:47:41 to back off i wanted to contrast these two stories one it was kind of a straightforward story and the

2:47:46 other one had all these twists and turns when you're playing fbi and with the fbi angle constantly

2:47:52 in there which is classic six-week cycle stuff from the from the good old days and it has always

2:47:59 involved some guy with a probably a very low iq i'm guessing in this guy's case 75 and they can

2:48:08 get him and they make friends with him and they work him for a year yes a year a year make him

2:48:14 into a criminal yeah and it's shameless and then they they let him trade in his car for what he

2:48:19 thinks is weapons and they swoop in and like whoa press conference disgusting yeah so it has

2:48:29 entertainment value i got a last 29 seconds uh it's about the fbi as well and i wish i had i'm

2:48:36 gonna see if i can find the full clip of this tucker carlson had a former fbi deputy assistant

2:48:42 on talking about you know how horrible the fbi is and this fbi you know they've been investigating

2:48:48 the president and all this horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible and then this guy

2:48:53 says something which carlson never responds to just thanks him you know i don't have the thank

2:48:59 you bit just never responds goes into break and you never saw the guy again terry turchy is his

2:49:04 name listen to what he says about the fbi you know this unlike today's fbi where we're investigating

2:49:11 the president we're coming up concocting schemes we're sending text messages no no it was very

2:49:16 different back in the day. And I think we can expect more of this because, quite honestly,

2:49:21 the electorate in some places is putting more and more progressives and self-described socialists

2:49:27 in positions. And ironically, years ago, when I first got into the FBI, one of the missions of

2:49:33 the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try and keep these people out of government. Why?

2:49:38 Because we would end up with massive dysfunction and massive disinformation and massive misinformation.

2:49:45 And it seems to me that's where we're at today.

2:49:46 So did he not just say the FBI does this on a regular basis?

2:49:51 Well, I thought what he said was that in the olden days, we used to put a stop to people like AOC.

2:50:00 Getting into government, yes.

2:50:02 Would be communist, but nowadays we don't.

2:50:04 No, we stop people like Donald Trump.

2:50:07 It's the same thing.

2:50:08 He's saying the same thing.

2:50:10 We don't want the crazies to come into government.

2:50:13 So in the old days, we used to stop them.

2:50:15 They're still doing it.

2:50:17 Am I just misunderstanding what he's saying?

2:50:19 Yeah, I think so.

2:50:20 I heard very clearly he says, in the old days, we used to stop these people.

2:50:25 Yeah, that's what he said.

2:50:26 But since when did that...

2:50:29 He never said we're now...

2:50:31 I'm not sure what you're hearing.

2:50:33 Okay.

2:50:34 What I heard was that we used to stop these people in the old days, and now we don't.

2:50:38 Well, it's in the context of the FBI trying to stop Donald Trump.

2:50:43 Well, we used to stop the nutballs in the old days.

2:50:48 Now we don't.

2:50:49 We go after Trump.

2:50:49 Is that what you're thinking I said?

2:50:51 He's another nutball.

2:50:52 They've just always done this.

2:50:53 It's not the FBI's job to stop people from trying to get into government.

2:50:57 It's not their job to spy on them and get them not elected.

2:51:02 That's not their job.

2:51:03 Maybe I'm just hearing it, but I was flabbergasted.

2:51:09 You're upset by this guy.

2:51:10 I'm upset that no one said anything about it.

2:51:13 Well, you had to go to break.

2:51:15 Well, there's that.

2:51:17 Special thanks to, let's see,

2:51:22 Marco Garcia and Tom Starkweather for our end-of-show mixes.

2:51:27 We always appreciate that.

2:51:29 Thanks, everybody, who helped out.

2:51:33 Many ways you can do that.

2:51:34 And one of them is by supporting the work and becoming a producer.

2:51:39 You can also become an executive producer, an associate executive producer.

2:51:42 Remember us for that at Dvorak.org slash N-A.

2:51:46 And we look forward to Sunday's show.

2:51:49 Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state,

2:51:53 FEMA region number six on your governmental maps.

2:51:55 While I can still afford it in the five-by-nine Cluedio in the common law condo.

2:52:00 In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

2:52:02 And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're number eight.

2:52:08 I'm John C. Dvorak.

2:52:09 We return on Sunday right here.

2:52:10 Remember, Dvorak.org slash NA.

2:52:13 Until then, everybody, adios, movos, and such.

2:52:38 Telephones that have gone in and triggered people, but it's an electrical manipulation of the brain.

2:52:52 Telephones that have gone in and triggered people, but it's an electrical manipulation of the brain.

2:53:07 The phone rings, I took the trigger.

2:53:08 You're saying, well, where's the phone?

2:53:12 It's everywhere. It's 5G.

2:53:14 A certain percentage of people are going to end up being killers

2:53:17 and crazy and half-cooked.

2:53:19 The phone rings, I took the trigger.

2:53:22 Electrical manipulation of the brain.

2:53:36 You know, running into the same kind of buzzsaw.

2:53:57 But when I look at the Republican Party, I see Tim Scott and I see Elise Stefanik.

2:54:01 I don't see Steve King.

2:54:03 So we just found out that she's canceled.

2:54:05 I think that's a great blotch on the incredible country that we all love.

2:54:12 The Catholic school teenager who was wearing that MAGA hat caught on viral video in a bizarre stare down with a Native American elder.

2:54:21 That at President Trump's direction, the United States of America became the first country in the world to recognize President Guaido.

2:54:30 I am running for president of the United States.

2:54:34 And there's a deal in the making.

2:54:37 And the more extreme Nancy Pelosi gets, the more likely we'll have a deal to assist family members to actually bring food home so they can feed their families.

2:54:47 That's just outrageous.

2:54:49 She officially has more Twitter followers than Nancy Pelosi.

2:54:53 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

2:54:55 Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising.

2:55:04 The left wants to take away your right to wear whatever the heck you want.

2:55:08 And the American people are forced to pick between 70-year-old retreads, in many cases, who got us in this mess to begin with.

2:55:16 And she's afraid of the truth.

2:55:17 The super-left Democrats, the radical Democrats, what's going on in that party is shocking.

2:55:24 Idle hands are the devil's legislative agenda.

2:55:27 That's right. That is exactly correct.

2:55:29 Yeah, yeah.
